    Doctors in spotless white garbs darted in and out of the wards of a steel building with floors as clean and shiny as mirrors. This facility was at the colony¡¯s research institutions in the new area outside of the Chengyang suburb.

    Sitting anxiously outside the waiting room was a group of fresh-faced teenagers looking terrified and excited at the same time.

    Ding! Ding! Dong!

    ¡°Number 2318, Qin Feng. Please head to injection area 3!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s my turn!¡± The young man got up quickly. He was so nervous that his legs were unsteady, and he tripped over himself, falling to the ground with a loud thud.

    Anyone could tell just how bad that fall was.

    ¡°Ah! Qin Feng!¡± Zhou Hao shouted as he watched this horrifying spectacle unfold, hurrying over to help his friend.

    To his surprise, Qin Feng was unconscious!

    ¡°What the hell. What kind of joke is this, Qin Feng? How can you pass out at such an important time? Wake up! It¡¯s your turn to get the awakening elixir injections!¡±

    In the year 2200, the world had undergone a drastic change¡ªmankind, after 2000 years of reign, had now fallen the bottom of the food chain.

    But because sharp ability users and mighty ancient warriors as such existed among humankind, they were able to sustain lebensraum. It was also all about the premise of an awakened ability user or warrior getting the injection of awakening potion at the age of sixteen.

    This meant that, at the point in time where he was in the opportunity to experience a meteoric rise in his life, Qin Feng lost consciousness instead. Zhou Hao was in a p.

    Ding-Ding Dong!

    The loudspeaker chimed again, and an echoey voice hollered, ¡°Number 2318, Qin Feng. Please head to injection area 3!¡±

    The reverberating noise would only add a splitting headache to Qin Feng¡¯s already chaotic mind.

    ¡®I¡¯m not dead?¡¯ A thought shed in his mind. How was he alive? When he defeated that unidentified beast king, he had died with it.

    The voices in his ears were starting to sound more precise.

    ¡°Ah! You know what, Chen Ming, juste here and help me get Qin Feng there. He still has to get his injection even if he¡¯s unconscious!¡± Zhou Haomented to the person next to him.

    This had Qin Feng taken aback.

    Chen Ming?! How could it be? Why was Chen Ming here? Was he the one who had brought all these dangers here?

    But who was this other person fussing over him then? Why did it sound so familiar, so distinct as if it was there in his mind and yet, so far away?

    Next to Qin Feng and Zhou Hao, Chen Ming¡¯s eyes glinted.

    Qin Feng, Chen Ming, and Zhou Hao were the top three students in mid-tier college.

    The only thing was, Chen Ming knew that he was never going to be as good as Qin Feng or Zhou Hao.

    His fists curled up momentarily. His palms were sweaty, and his eyes were gleaming.

    ¡°Zhou Hao, I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea. The doctor will me us. Also, we should get someone to take a look at Qin Feng, just in case he¡¯s really hurt.¡± Those were all words of concern, but in reality, he wanted Qin Feng to miss his injection.

    ¡°But, this injection is a big thing...¡± Zhou Hao was starting to panic and was a little out of his wits.

    ¡°Let¡¯s bring him aside so he can rest!¡± Chen Ming walked over and knelt to pick Qin Feng up.

    ¡°No!¡± The young man said hoarsely, still a little hazy. No one knew what Qin Feng had experienced while he was unconscious.

    Was it just a dream of grandeur, or was it reality?

    All Qin Feng knew was that the emotions sustained from the additional past decade were all too clear in his memories.

    He pushed himself off the ground. The innocence on his face had disappeared, bing more profound. There was even a twinkle of sharpness in his gaze.

    Chen Ming froze as a chill ran down his spine, making him feel as if he was standing naked before Qin Feng, all his secrets exposed, and Qin Feng seeing through all that grime in his heart.

    But it was only a fleeting moment. Qin Feng looked away from Chen Ming and looked at Zhou Hao.

    There was a speck of red in his eyes.

    In his memories, Zhou Hao, this guy who was like his own brother, had died because of him when they were sixteen. But here he was, standing in front of him, perfectly fine and guileless, looking like he was indeed sixteen.

    Then suddenly, Qin Feng understood it all.

    He was reborn¡ªback to the time when he was sixteen¡ªthe day of the awakening elixir injection.

    Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong!

    ¡°Number 2318, Qin Feng. Please head to injection area 3!¡±

    ¡°I have to go!¡± Qin Feng nodded at Zhou Hao. This time, his footsteps were steady, not the hasty scuttle he had stumbled out earlier on, and there was even a domineering air about it.

    Since the heavens had given him once more chance, he would not let the events in the previous life continue to happen.

    Qin Feng curled his hands into a fist and walked to the injection area.

    A tube of turquoise substance was injected into his veins.

    ¡°The awakening elixir will awaken your abilities and strengthen your talents. The stronger the talent, the sooner the awakening. In one month, your perceptions of the surroundings, strength, and speed, would grow exponentially. Even without the extra abilities, you will at least have the lowest-level of a good physique. I advise you to increase training during this period!¡±

    ¡°Mm. Thank you, doctor!¡± Qin Feng took in a deep breath of air. He could already sense an unusual aura emerging from the depths of his body.

    But he made no mention of it, even doing his best to conceal his aura to keep it from spreading. A smile crept across his face.

    The stronger the talent, the faster its awakening!

    It was only one minute after the injection, and his abilities were already emerging. What kind of talent was this?

    Unfortunately, in his previous life, before he could even begin to enjoy this talent, he was persecuted, then put through a painful experiment that stripped him of his abilities before getting thrown into the shark-infested waters. While he managed to survive, he was incapable of confronting the enemy.

    He was practically useless then!

    But now...

    Perhaps he might not be able to go head to head against that organization for the time being, but their henchman, he would not let off the hook.

    As he was pondering over that thought, Chen Ming appeared in front of him.

    Qin Feng smiled knowingly at him, making him shudder!

    What was it? Then why was Qin Feng so strange today? Why did it feel so dangerous? Chen Ming couldn¡¯t put the finger on those muddled feelings.

    ¡°So, how was it, Qin Feng? Were there any reactions?¡± Zhou Hao asked excitedly.

    ¡°No!¡± Qin Feng shook his head.

    Zhou Hao looked disappointed. His shoulders were sagging inches lower as he sighed. ¡°Whatever. If the three of us show no response, then others probably won¡¯t either. Let¡¯s go back and continue training.¡±

    ¡°Mm, let¡¯s go!¡±

    The three left the building.

    Qin Feng had not been back here for many years.

    This was just one of therge colonies in the outskirts of Chengyang, a sprawling cesspool of reinforced concrete buildings, so suffocating that even breathing within its cramped confines deemed a challenge. Hovering a few hundred meters in the skies above was a giant floating machine that bore a resemnce to a satellite.

    The object in question turned out to be a space stabilization device¡ªthe only thing that guaranteed the safety of the colony.

    ¡®It should be happening soon,¡¯ Qin Feng thought.

    And then, without warning, the piece of space equipment suddenly burst into mes!

 Chapter 2: Space Stabilizing Device

    <h4>Chapter 2: Space Stabilizing Device</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    The space stabilizing device above their heads was a thing the people relied on to survive, the most powerful weapon protecting the colony.

    But now that the machine had malfunctioned, the waves invisible to the naked eye that stabilized space was gradually disappearing.

    Everyone who noticed this breakdown was rmed at first before breaking out into a panicked frenzy!

    ¡°What is happening to the space stabilizing device?! Is it broken?¡± Zhou Hao asked, his voice trembling.

    ¡°Does that mean...¡± Before Chen Ming could evenplete his sentence, an rm on their wristwatches started ring loudly.

    [Warning! Warning! A space rift is opening in a hundred meters. Unidentified organisms are about to appear!]

    A tear in space?!

    This was the culprit! The thing responsible for the fall of mankind, the reason humankind had fallen from the dominant force of nature to the bottom tier on the food chain.

    There was a set deepness in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes. His skinny and frail back had now straightened up, and from head to toe, he was on guard, neither shocked nor rmed.

    That was because he hade prepared.

    In his previous life, the exact situation had happened at this exact time.

    Since Qin Feng had been unconscious, Zhou Hao had decided to bring him inside for the injection. Once he had also received his dose, he had slumped Qin Feng over his shoulders and carried him out.

    By the time he had left the research institution, he was already awake. However, now, the space stabilizing device was damaged, a rift had torn in space, the ferocious beast attacked, and Zhou Hao had died while saving Qin Feng.

    As for where Chen Ming was at that time...

    Qin Feng was just trying to recall that information when, in reality, Chen Ming presented him with the answer.

    ¡°Run! Better run fast!¡± Chen Ming shouted before quickly disappearing.

    They were all students who had undergone mid-tier education. Each one of them came with able bodies and respectablebat power. It only took Chen Ming two seconds to put about ten meters of distance between them.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression grew cold.

    If this was the previous experience, then he was a total joke back then!

    Zhou Hao had died for him, and here was Chen Ming walking away so casually, downying the abandonment of his brothers.

    That wretch!

    Zhou Hao was also stunned for a moment. Then, propelled by Chen Ming¡¯s reaction, he too decided it was best to run.

    ¡°Hurry! Let¡¯s run!¡± he grabbed Qin Feng by the arm and pulled.

    But Qin Feng did not budge.

    Realizing his friend had be motionless, Zhou Hao turned around, his face crumpled in fear and distress, forehead lined with beads of cold sweat.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you not feeling well? Can you still run? Hurry, we have to go! How about I carry you?!¡± Zhou Hao babbled, not waiting for Qin Feng¡¯s answer, ready to flee!

    And rightly so too, for they were brothers.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, felt sharp stabbing heat shoot down his chest like a volcanic eruption, causing a stinging pain in his heart.

    ¡°I¡¯m alright. I¡¯m good. I¡¯m terrific, in fact! Thank goodness the gods gave me a second chance so that I can redeem all of this. I¡¯ve lost a hypocrite, but at least I still have a true brother!

    We can¡¯t go there. We don¡¯t know where the tear is exactly, so the safest ce right now is the research institute!¡± Qin Feng reckoned.

    Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment but quickly regained hisposure. ¡°We have other ssmates in there too, goddamnit! Hurry, let¡¯s go back!¡±

    The guy had always been like that. Warm and friendly, always looking out for other people.

    This, to Qin Feng, who had suffered and struggled for a decade before his rebirth, was absolutely invaluable! You couldn¡¯t put a price on those things.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng started to run. Although the demeaning prospects of a weak and small body bothered him somewhat, it was brimming with vigor and energy.

    They turned around the corner of an alley and out into the main road. The drivers in the cars were honking at each other. Being so busy trying to get away, they rammed into each other in uncoordinated panic, causing traffic toe to a standstill.

    Just then, in the sky three meters above the road, a tear gradually formed. Within it was pitch-ck darkness, and surrounding it was a ring of silver light¡ªthe materialization of space elements.

    ¡°Rift!!!¡± Zhou Hao looked terrified.

    No matter how many times they had learned about it in school, he was petrified, this being his first time seeing the actual thing. No one knew what kind of creatures were lurking behind the crack, waiting for the slightest opportunity to pounce out. It could be the devil himself, for all we knew,ing to destroy the world.

    The rift was expanding ever so slowly. It was only about half a meter long and thirty centimeters wide, but the potent disorientation from something so alien in nature had the people on the road screaming their heads off, leaving their cars behind and running for their lives.

    The tear did not stop expanding.

    And then, all of a sudden, from the midst of the rift, a figure appeared.

    It looked like a soft-skinned, and slightly bloated baby. Bathed in a strange yellow and green color, a terrible stench came out from its hair.

    The infant crawled with much difficulty out of the crack and then dropped down onto the ground.

    Falling from such heights should have caused death, or at the very least, injuries. The baby¡¯s arms and legs, however, were still mobile. Picking itself up, it raised its massive head, allowing people to see what the grotesque incarnation looked like.

    Alright, alright. That was not a baby. It was a monster, one with a pair of humongous semi-convexed scarlet eyeballs, disproportionatelyrger than its deformed head. Its unnaturally vast mouth resembling a demented clown stretched far to its ears, revealing a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth. And unlike a human, its teeth had the sharpness of a wolf, easily able to tear through the toughest of flesh.

    They were man-eating creatures!

    ¡°It¡¯s a razor-fanged infant!!!¡± the crowd screamed in utter, unabashed horror.

    A razor-fanged infant, ording to the federal textbook, was the lowest category of G3 monsters, but it had a very special trait¡ªit lived in a group!

    So, as the first razor-fanged infantnded, the second, and third appeared right after. These razor-fanged infant¡¯s crawl may look clumsy, but whenever a prey caught theirrge eyes, they would suddenly pick up speed and leap into the air, viciously tearing at their victim¡¯s throats with their sharp teeth!

    ¡°Arghhh!!!¡± A man screamed. He swiftly drew the weapon strapped on his waist and pointed it at the infant abomination!

    Bang!

    The unmistakable sound of gunfire echoed in the streets. The already chaotic road had now turned into hell.

    Four to five razor-fanged infants were killing people, freely devouring them on the streets like wolves among a flock of sheep.

    One of them pounced on Zhou Hao.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes widened, and his mind wentpletely nk as he scrambled to find a way to defend himself. Like it was in all textbooks, they were merely unsubstantial, general bullshit that gave its reader little to imagine what a real situation would be like. The grappling techniques they had learned were not fast enough to cope with the creature¡¯s devilish speed and tiny stature.

    Of course, this was also due to the constraints of strength. Even a sixteen-year-old teenager who had just awakened his abilities and force was only at G1 tier.

    At that very moment, a pair of skinny yet strong hands shoved Zhou Hao aside hard!

    Zhou Hao recognized that silhouette!

    It was Qin Feng!!

    Qin Feng pushed Zhou Hao aside and swung a fist at the razor-fanged infant.

    He was much slower than the monster, yet as if by coincidence, when he threw the punch, the razor-fanged infant came towards its head first.

    Bam!

    It sounded like the squishing of a grand, big, juicy watermelon. Red and greyish brain matter sttered everywhere.

    Qin Feng frowned at this¡ªnot because the scene was too gruesome but the flesh on his knuckles that had been ripped off by the force of that strike.

    Too weak! Qin Feng could not remember thest time he possessed such a frail and puny body.

    But when he narrowed his eyes slightly, his tea-colored iris darkened as dark as night; an invisible strength came through the monster infant¡¯s body into his.

    The wound on his hand quickly turned into a scab. It shed off,pletely healing itself as if he had never been injured in the first ce.

    This was Qin Feng¡¯s talent!

    Absorption!

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression was a mixture of surprise and excitement!

    He recalled how in his past life, he thought that he was invincible as his abilities had been awakened. He had been so excited that he had announced it to the world. In the end, his talent had been robbed from him and was only left with the ability to absorb dead monsters¡¯ self-strengthening abilities. That little bit of power had barely helped him to survive.

    Right now, his talent was not destroyed. Did that mean that he was much stronger?

    Qin Feng could feel that after he absorbed the energy from the razor-fanged infant, his physical body had gotten a lot tougher. A total of ten razor-fanged infants could at least boost his physique to G2 tier.

    If that was the case, what was he waiting for then?

    Qin Feng had not felt so excited in such a long time now!

    When they saw their kind getting killed, the razor-fanged infants charged angrily towards the attacker from afar.

    Two monsters nked Qin Feng. One on the left and the other on the right.

    Qin Feng shuffled backward, evading the attempt to close in on him.

    He reached into his waist and pulled out a small dagger less than fifteen centimeters, and took a calcted sh at one of the razor-fanged infants.

    Argh!!!

    The monster¡¯s throat was sliced open, and its tiny body dropped to the ground, its neck and head clinging to each other only by ayer of skin.

    Fresh, warm blood spilled all over the ground.

    Qin Feng raised a leg and kicked the second razor-fanged baby, sending it sliding three meters backward.

    So, as to not waste this opportunity, Qin Feng threw himself at the creature and swished the dagger downwards, plunging it into the razor-fanged infant¡¯s chest, not stopping until he could he feel the de hit the hard ground!

    One of the razor-fanged infants let out a shrill cry that resembled a cat yowling. The noise, which also sounded a little bit like a baby crying, drew another group of infants toward Qin Feng.

    Thetter remainedposed as he made some calctions on how to tackle the creatures sequentially.

    His rich experience in battling was more than enough to help himbat these unsightly abominations of nature.

    The only thing was, his body could not catch up with his rhythm. All around him, the monsters were slowly closing on him, ready to tear him apart.

    Then, it pounced without warning!

    Crunch!!!

    One of them sank their teeth into Qin Feng, sending a blinding shock in the thick soup of his brain.

    Paralyzing pain in his punctured calf seared through the entire leg.

    But that was not the scariest part. At the same time, another one of the creatures jumped for his neck.

    Danger was approaching. No. Here it was!

    Qin Feng raised a hand in an attempt to shield his neck with his arm.

    The infant¡¯s razor-sharp fangs dug into the flesh of Qin Feng¡¯s arm. At least his neck was protected.

    ¡°Die!¡± Qin Feng roared, mming his arm onto the floor.

    The infant let out a piercing cry, as bones and asphalt came crashing together in unholy matrimony. The beast on Qin Feng¡¯s arm was squashed.

    Another one of the creatures saw the chance and leaped.

    Its attack was surgical¡ªthe position it had chosen perfect. Its mouth opened so wide as if about to swallow Qin Feng¡¯s head whole.

    Qin Feng¡¯s pupils dted.

    Just then, a snow-white baseball came to the rescue, knocking down that razor-fangs infant.

    Zhou Hao appeared in front of Qin Feng. Although his body was shaking violently, he did not stop, swinging around and striking the monstertched on his friend¡¯s calf.

    ¡°Let go, beast! Monster! Let go!¡±

    However, he controlled his exertion of force in fear of hurting Qin Feng.

    After a few violent thumps and only after the razor-fanged infant¡¯s head was finally smashed in, did Qin Feng shake off the monster.

    The injuries were healing quickly, but, on the surface, Qin Feng was gravely injured.

    Zhou Hao trembled uncontrobly, bursting with adrenaline, face flushed, and gulping inrge mouthfuls of fresh air.

    Such intense, unstopping action was all too much to bear!

    When he turned around to look at the wounds on Qin Feng¡¯s body, what he saw left him in shock.

    ¡°Qin Feng! Are you alright?¡±

    ¡°No problem!¡± Qin Feng shook his head.

    The patrol team was finally here, dutifully dispersing the crowd and slowly retaking the entire street.

    ¡°Should we leave?¡± Zhou Hao did not know what to do in a situation like this.

    ¡°No need!¡± Qin Feng answered. ¡°It¡¯s just this one rift. Now that the patrol team is here, it should be a lot safer!¡±

    Indeed, it was just one rift. But in the previous life, Qin Feng had not been around. The razor-fanged infants had spread out all over the ce like a gue and killed swathes of people, Zhou Hao included.

    Thank goodness, all of that was over!

    The mes on the space stabilizer had been extinguished. All up and running, a silver ray exploded from it.

    Then, before Qin Feng and Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes, the rift began to grow smaller until it gradually disappeared.

    This was the first time Zhou Hao had such a phenomenon, leaving his jaw hanging open in amazement.

    Beep! Beep!

    ¡°Street number 12 is cleared. Head-count in progress!¡±

    ¡°Thirteen deaths in total! Still counting causalities!¡±

    ¡°Secured!¡±

    The patrol team passed them by, grimly confirming the death toll. Qin Feng calmly watched all of them, not making a single move.

    On the contrary, Zhou Hao¡¯s initial excitement had disappeared, and his face had turned a ghostly white.

    And just like that, the me of life had been extinguished. In such a brief period, thirteen people had lost their lives.

    If it had not been for Qin Feng, more people would have died.

    A man wearing the patrol team¡¯s medal over his chest walked up to Qin Feng.

    The patrol team was the police in the colony. As humans were such destructive beings, whenever a fight broke out, it would, in all likeliness, lead to a one-sided ughter where the strong killed the weak.

    That was how the patrol team emerged, maintainingw and order to protect the very core of the colony¡¯s safety.

    That being said, the colony was, at times, not a particrly safe ce either.

    ¡°Did you kill these two razor-fanged infants? Not bad, not bad at all! That¡¯s sure looked promising, young man!¡± The man smiled. He was not very tall, about 1.7 meters and a little mellow. But Qin Feng would never look down on him!

    A logo with the words ¡®F1¡¯ appeared above the medal on this person¡¯s chest, which meant that this person¡¯s strength was at least ten tiers above Qin Feng¡¯s and Zhou Hao¡¯s.

    Of course, he would not have counted for much whenpared to the Qin Feng in the previous life.

    One other thing was that, besides this F-tier logo, this person also had a medal of the patrol team¡¯s vice-captain.

    The patrol team had the highest authority in a colony. How could anyone tantly disregard a high-ranking officer?

    ¡°No, no. This is all Qin Feng!¡± said Zhou Hao, not wanting to wait for the powerful people from the patrol team to start asking questions. Instead, he immediately attempted to set the record straight, not wanting to take any credit at all.

    The officer, with all his experience, knew that it was all Qin Feng¡¯s handiwork. The surveince video had told him that already.

    ¡°Not bad. Is your name Qin Feng? I¡¯m Xue Xingfu, captain of Twelfth Street in the colony!¡±

    Qin Feng cocked his eyebrows when he heard the name.

    Xue Xingfu?

    This person would be a notoriously crooked businessman ten yearster. Who knew that he was actually a vice-captain ten years ago.

    ¡°How are you?¡± Qin Feng nodded.

    Xue Xingfu grinned at Qin Feng, his eyes glistening and his voice gentle. ¡°Thank you for your help.¡±

    In one sentence, he had reduced Qin Feng¡¯s matter of life or deathbat to mere help!

    Whenever a rift appeared threatening the safety of the colony, those who extinguished the threat would receive a special reward. What more a dangerous thing like this.

    Qin Feng had no intention of exposing the guy.

    ¡°We were just defending ourselves. Otherwise, we would¡¯ve died as well!¡±

    Xue Xingfu maintained his smile, but deep inside, he wondered why Qin Feng was so calm. Too calm, in fact.

    ¡°It¡¯s like that¡ªyou can collect the fangs and heart¡¯s blood of the razor-fanged infants and sell them for a nice price, but because considering you¡¯re so young, if you sell them on your own, I¡¯m pretty sure you wouldn¡¯t make a profit.¡±

    Qin Feng smiled thoughtfully at that.

    If it was Zhou Hao who was standing there, he might have fallen for Xue Xingfu¡¯s trick.

    Fangs and heart¡¯s blood may not sell for much, but an entire body could be counted as a significant contribution. If he wanted to, Xue Xingfu could have actually imed that he was the one that killed all of them.

    These were all behind the scenes, under the counter dealings. In this world, the strong wielded the scepter. The ones who were powerful had a say in everything.

    Qin Feng did not beat around the bush either and said, ¡°Eight bodies for eight G-tier strengthening potions!¡±

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s smile froze, his gleamy pleasant demeanor reced by one of seriousness.

    The price of G-tier strengthening potions was not too high. One tube only costs about 10,000 yuan, but in the colony, the average wage a month hovered around a very humble 1,000 yuan.

    Eight tubes of that potion would cost 80,000!

    As an official, however, Xue Xingfu could purchase them at an ¡®insider¡¯s price,¡¯ saving himself half the cost.

    ,000 yuan was the exact amount that Qin Feng had received as a reward for killing the razor-fanged infants.

    If that was true, wasn¡¯t that too much of a coincidence?

    ¡°Either way, you won¡¯t make a loss!¡± Qin Feng added.

    Xue Xingfu was about to probe him further, but his questions were already answered.

    It appeared that this kid really did know things!

    ¡°Fine. You got it!¡±

    ¡°Then, thank you, Captain Xue!¡± Qin Feng answered in a happy, congrattory tone.

    ¡°Hahaha, there¡¯s no need to thank me. You¡¯re not bad all, all. If youe across something good next time, you cane see me!¡± Xue Xingfu added Qin Feng to hismunicator. He might have use of it in the future.

    If this boy could kill razor-fanged infants now, he might just be powerful enough in the future. He might just be useful in the time toe.

    Xue Xingfu might not be a merchant now, but he already had the potential of a sessful businessman!

    ...

    Xin Feng gave half of the potions he had received to Zhou Hao. Thetter merely stared at the thing that they never even dared imagine having.

    ¡°Why did you ask for so many? Aren¡¯t these things ridiculously costly?¡± Zhou Hao asked.

    ¡°Members of the patrol team get them for half-price.¡±

    ¡°Wow. Being part of the patrol team sounds great. Governments will always be governments. It¡¯ll be great if we could make the team next time!¡±

    ¡°You can join if you want to, of course!¡± Qin Feng nodded in eagerness. Zhou Hao had died for him before. Now that Qin Feng was reborn, he would make sure to treat this brother well.

    As for that Chen Ming...

    Perhaps human hearts are fickle. Perhaps after losing a brother, Qin Feng wanted to have a friendship so bad that his eyes were blinded to the fact that he was, for all intents and purposes, a wretch!

    ¡°Wait, Qin Feng, take these two back. I don¡¯t need so many. Also, I only killed two. If you hadn¡¯t saved me, I would¡¯ve died just now!¡±

    Zhou Hao warmly pushed two vials into Qin Feng¡¯s hands.

    ¡°You can earn it back once your abilities or ancient warrior talents have awakened!¡± Qin Feng gave them back. These potions were not very useful to him since his abilities had already been awakened. He did not just dump everything to his friend only to avoid raising Zhou Hao¡¯s suspicion.

    Qin Feng did not n to tell anyone about his rebirth.

    ¡°Alright, brother. Once, I¡¯ve awakened, I would even buy you A-tier ones if you that¡¯s what you want!¡± Zhou Hao said, thumping his own chest.

    Of course, it was just a young man¡¯s irresponsible crowing, filled with hot air!

    Only a few A-tier strengthening potions were issued every year.

    As the pair chatted on, the ambnce finally arrived at the scene to help the injured. Because Qin Feng helped fight off the razor-fanged infants, he was given a hero¡¯s treatment.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I can do it myself. Go ahead and tend to the severely injured. I¡¯m fine!¡± Qin Feng stopped the nurse tending to him and picked up a bit of gauze to bandage his wounds.

    When the nurse saw how deft his movement was, she nodded and left to help others. They couldn¡¯t afford to be distracted on the battlefield. For every extra minute saved was another minute that could be used to save someone¡¯s life.

    On top of that, special ability users in the colony were rough and tough. This surface wound was nothing.

    No one knew that Qin Feng¡¯s special ability allowed him to heal his wounds rapidly.

    Since the hastily set up triage tent by the ambnce team was tight and cramped, Zhou Hao did note along. He waited outside for Qin Feng, and when he saw his friend¡¯s arm and calf wrapped in thick, bloodstained bandages, he could not help but feel sorry for him.

    ¡°Qin Feng! Surely, a miserable day for you!¡± Zhou Hao muttered. ¡°You fell down and cked out this morning, then you were bitten by the razor-fanged infants. Should you go find a light ability user and ask for a blessing or something?¡±

    ¡°Are they that easy to find?¡± Qin Feng chuckled.

    He did not think that he was unlucky today. In fact, he felt extremely fortunate.

    How many people in history could start afresh, respawning like in some video game after they had died?

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯m just saying, you know!¡± Zhou Hao smiled.

    ¡°Mm. Oh, right, I have something I need to do. You should go back to school first.¡± Qin Feng stopped suddenly.

    ¡°Qin Feng... are you still going to work? Don¡¯t go yet! This is the best time for awakening. You don¡¯t want to dy it.¡±

    Zhou Hao¡¯s statement caught Qin Feng by surprise. He pondered for a bit before remembering that he did indeed have a job ten years ago.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s parents were still around and healthy. He even had a brother. While they were considered of average status in the colony, they had jobs that paid them well enough to raise Zhou Haofortably, albeit, minus someforts in life.

    Qin Feng¡¯s thoughts drifted back and remembered that he had quit the job so that he would have enough time to train after his awakening.

    Only, he never told Zhou Hao about this.

    Qin Feng and Chen Ming were both orphans where thetter¡¯s parents had tragically died in a beast horde attack. Owing to that, he would receive a 500 yuan hero¡¯s orphan subsidy every month.

    As for Qin Feng¡¯s parents, on the other hand, no one knew what had happened to them. He was left outside the door or an orphanage.

    Because newborns were the hope of mankind, and humans could only administer the awakening injections at sixteen, raising orphans became a matter of extreme importance for the current Chinese Alliance.

    A caveat, however, was that it would be impossible if the orphans wanted extra money to enrichen their lives.

    Qin Feng had to work to make any extra money he needed.

    As a result, he did not have to make up excuses for Zhou Hao.

    ¡°I will at least have to inform the management. Don¡¯t worry. It won¡¯t dy anything. I have to go.¡± Qin Feng said, waving to his friend, making sure to take a different road.

    Zhou Hao watched Qin Feng¡¯s back, feeling that this friend of his had be much calmer and more practical as if he had suddenly grown up.

    Undoubtedly, after today¡¯s awakening injection, the rift, and the razor-fanged infants¡¯ attack that almost took their lives, how could they not grow up?

    Qin Feng was unaware of what Zhou Hao was thinking. If he had known, he would have surelyughed a bitterugh. His experience spanned not just a single day but ten whole years.

    When he was sure that Zhou Hao wasn¡¯t trailing him, Qin Feng slowed his pace down.

    The Chengbei new district colony was his birthce. This was not within Chengyang but on the outskirt of the outskirts. It might have looked as if it was essible from all directions, but even the tall buildings could not hide the fact that this was all but a slum, a terrible living environment.

    There was not enoughnd here, and dangerous beasts overran the ce, roaming around as they pleased. Far away from the main city of Chengyang, security was poor. To make matters worse, their most powerful ability user was only at E-tier.

    Even their space stabilization device had been in disrepair for years.

    That time after he was captured, he never returned to Chengyang causing his memories of the ce to be a little blurry.

    After strolling down three streets, Qin Feng finally found the shop he was looking for¡ªan outdoorbat supply store.

    The store was huge¡ªat least in this colony!

    In particr, this store belonged to the Wanzhong Group franchise.

    In the shop, a woman in her thirties sitting inside the shop sized up Qin Feng. The moment she realized the pathetic state he was in, she cast him a look of utter disgust.

    ¡°Little Sun, go serve the customer! Remember to clean the floor after!¡±

    ¡°Ah, yes, manager!¡± shouted a male clerk named Little Sun, who came over to attend to Qin Feng. As for the floor cleaning remark, it was clear that the manager felt that Qin Feng was going to soil the store.

    Qin Feng shot the woman a frosty look. No one had treated him in such an uncivilized way for so many years. Having just being reborn, however, he was swamped with too many things for him to do anything about it.

    She was just a narrow-minded woman. Nothing worth fussing over about.

    ¡°Excuse me, mister. Are you here to buy or sell?¡± Little Sun asked politely, secretly perplexed.

    Qin Feng was covered in wounds, which meant that he had most likely just returned from a battle. But he was not carrying any spoils with him. If that was the case, he was probably not here to sell materials. As for purchasing power...

    Now how could someone not even wearing an ability user¡¯s logo be able to afford the store¡¯s merchandise?

    It would seem that thedy manager was in fact, a good judge of character.

    ¡°Do you take these?¡± Qin Feng took out the four vials of the G-tier strengthening potion.

    The potion was a pale red color, and the vials were only about the size of his pinky. One simply needed to examine the official stamp on thebel to know whether or not it was the real deal.

    Their shop did not trade with drugs, but the G-tier strengthening potion was an essential item.

    One look was enough for Little Sun to tell that they were real.

    This looked like a great business opportunity, too great to let slip just because of prejudice and innuendo.

    Little Sun caught his breath. ¡°We do! We do!¡±

    He picked up one of the vials and examined it in the fashion of an expert. ¡°Here in our store, we buy these at a 20% discount of the market price. That¡¯ll be 32,000 yuan for four!¡±

    Once this purchase waspleted, he could earn amission of three hundred. What fortuitous fortune!

    Qin Feng nodded, surveying the products the store had to offer.

    ¡°One T3bat suit1, one dagger, a crossbow with thirty arrows, abat bag pack, and an outdoor utensil set!¡±

    There were so few elites in the entire colony that most of them ordinary folk who would never choose to purchase something of such high quality, such as the T3bat suit.

    ¡°Alright. Please provide the size that you want!¡±

    ¡°...170!¡± Qin Feng looked at his scrawny body, managing to crack a bitter smile.

    Right now, he was only 1.7 meters tall and painfully bony¡ªit was so different from the one he had before rebirth.

    Once he was done with all these, it looked like the time was nigh to work hard and develop his body.

    ¡°Great!¡± Little Sun hurried around the shop, bringing a T3bat suit for Qin Feng to try on, then picking up other things he had requested.

    Qin Feng selected the items skillfully, snapping up everything up he needed, and refusing anything that Little Sun was trying to sell him that he did not need.

    In the end, he spent 30,000 at the store, pocketing only the remaining 2,000 yuan, which he stuffed into his backpack.

    ¡°Sir, if you wish toe again, you¡¯ll be treated as our regr. We can give you a discount for any transaction over 10,000 yuan. This is mymunicator¡¯s number. You can add me!¡± Little Sun said.

    Qin Feng nodded happily. It would be very convenient to do business with familiar people.

    After he asked the guy for his real name, Qin Feng added the salesperson named Sun Yu to his contacts.

    There were very few contacts on hismunicator, only about twenty or thirty people, with most of them his schoolmates. But it also kept things clean.

    After that, Qin Feng turned off hismunicator, changed into his new T3bat suit, armed it with the dagger, and left the store with his brand new bow and arrow strapped to his back.

    Along the way, Qin Feng could sense the attention that his new suit was drawing.

    On a hot day in June, just like today, the waterproof and fireproofbat suit could equalize the cold and heat. Even if he werepletely wrapped up, it would engulf him with a cool,fortable temperature, not too hot and airless.

    The greyish-green camouge of the suit was a protective color for the wilderness, which was exactly the thing that made him stand out like a sore thumb.

    His young face might have looked unfledged, but the expression on his face was sangfroid; his sharp eyes darting about for the slightest sign of danger.

    The crossbow at his waist, the dagger in his boots, and the arrows hidden inside hisbat backpack represented absolute power but, at the same time, was also a symbol of money.

    Qin Feng ignored the strange looks he was getting and gged down a car. ¡°Go to the wilderness¡¯ dispatch site.¡±

    The driver shot him a curious look, but when Qin Feng got into the car, he kept his gaze lowered and lips sealed, saying nothing. So, the driver kept quiet, driving silently to the destination.

    Because of space rifts, the areas outside the colony were treacherous. But they needed people to go out there to hunt, kill, and protect the settlement, which was why the wilderness¡¯ dispatch site was set up.

    Over here, Qin Feng¡¯s suit was not that conspicuous.

    Because out here, in fact, everyone was dressed just like that.

 Chapter 6: The Reed Marsh Frogmen

    <h4>Chapter 6: The Reed Marsh Frogmen</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng stepped into a vehicle, and the melodious voice of a woman looped over the loudspeaker.

    ¡°This field trip will go through Xishan, Jiuqugou, Qinghe Bay, the Yuanyang ruins, the Changnan colony...¡±

    ¡°All fighters, please take note that after killing ultra beasts in the wilderness dispatch site, you may take any part of the corpses as proof for an exchange in Chinese currency. The targets are herbivorous giant rat, red-eyed jackal, man-eating wisteria, frogmen...¡±

    The automated voice repeating itself above Qin Feng flooded him with sweet nostalgia.

    It had been a long while since he sat on such a simple and crude collective traveling outdoorbat vehicle!

    The wild was dangerous not just because the rift could appear anytime, but the ce had, in fact, been invaded by alien creatures that had made mother earth theirir.

    To protect the safety of the colony, the leaders had to offer rewards in an attempt to encourage more people to join the operation.

    More than twenty passengers were on the vehicle, where not a single one came alone, but because they did not know Qin Feng, they thought that he belonged to another team and paid little attention to the neer.

    They paused at each stop, where some got off, and others got on. When they arrived at Qinghe Bay, Qin Feng moved to stand by the door, hoping to attract as little attention as he could. Another group of people got up as well.

    It was not apparent in the vehicle, but when the moment they stepped off the car, Qin Feng stood out like a sore thumb.

    ¡°Why are you alone? This ce is too dangerous! Why don¡¯t youe with us?¡± A soft voice from the five-girl group chirped when she saw that he was on his own.

    ¡°Yaoyao!¡± One of the girls from her team quickly cut in, eyeing Qin Feng cautiously. ¡°This person chose toe out here alone. Chances are he can handle himself pretty well. He may not want to join us!¡±

    The girl named Yaoyao, as Qin Feng had found out, retorted, ¡°That is exactly why I invited him!¡±

    ¡°Yaoyao, you don¡¯t even know if he¡¯s skillful or not. What if he holds us back?!¡± Another guy said, echoing the firsts¡¯ opinion.

    ¡°But...¡± Li Yaoyao clearly did not agree with her teammates.

    ¡°Forget it, Yaoyao. That dude¡¯s a goner!¡± Another girl tugged Yaoyao by the wrist. ¡°People won¡¯t care for your kindness!¡±

    It was only then that the group realized that while they were busy arguing, Qin Feng was already 20 meters ahead of them, hastily disappearing into the giant reed marshes.

    His quiet scuttle ticked the group off.

    Now, why was the person like that?!

    ...

    Qin Feng did not know what they were thinking, nor did he have the habit of making conversation with strangers. Every once in a while, the people in the wilderness were way scarier than those inside the colony. Qin Feng felt that he was still too inadequate to mingle with the others around here.

    Moreover, he was in no mood to allow anyone to know about this thing that he needed to do.

    He stealthily trampled his way through the reeds until he reached the center, careful to make no sound. The edges were both sharp but soft at the same time, meaning they could be pushed aside, but they could also cut.

    Fortunately, Qin Feng¡¯s T3 suit protected him against grazes. Standing inside the reed marsh was like being in a bamboo forest. Like a double-edged sword, the foliage provided him good cover but, at the same time, prevented him from seeing approaching danger.

    Croak!

    Qin Feng turned his head sharply towards the direction of the soft croaking sound, eyes squinting.

    That very moment, a green apparition shot out from among the giant reeds like a rocket.

    Qin Feng drew his armed crossbow and offset the arrow slightly.

    He held his breath and then pulled the trigger.

    Swoosh!

    With deadly uracy, the arrow hit the green figure, piercing its skull. Patches of blood and a yellowish-white substance spattered all over the reeds.

    The green figure fell to the ground with a plop. Now, Qin Feng could go take a closer look.

    The creature was half the size of a human and looked very much like a frog blown out of proportion.

    Its hind legs were well-developed enough, an indication that it could probably walk upright. Behold, the notorious killer of Qinghe bay¡¯s reed marsh¡ªthe frogman.

    As it was announced on the bus earlier on, this creature was mentioned in the bounty list.

    Qin Feng walked up to it, carefully carving out the frogman¡¯s eye with the dagger.

    Although frogmen flesh tasted pretty good, Qin Feng had other stuff that needed his attention. He could not afford to be lugging around something so bulky. Also, the frogman¡¯s blood would serve as bait for other dangerous creatures lurking in the tall shadows.

    As he ced the eyeball into a sealed jar, he could feel himself absorbing the frogman¡¯s energy, strengthening his physical body bit by bit.

    ¡°This is faster than it was in my previous life! Is this it¡¯s full ability? Maybe. Maybe there are stronger ones which I have yet unearth!¡±

    Qin Feng could feel the difference, his bountiful upgrades in strength got him excited.

    He trounced forward as the reeds got thicker. The croaks were now loud, almost deafening, where a cacophony of stato howls reached out from the dark.

    Croak! Croak! Croak!

    Qin Feng stood still and fired.

    Swoosh! Swoosh!

    Two arrows shot through the gaps between the giant stalks and hit two frogmen who unceremoniously tangled themselves in the reeds.

    Summer was nigh, and so was mating season for the frogman. If they were not cleared at this time, once the love rush was over, their numbers would increase exponentially. They would then have to leave their nest and spread out, an unthinkable threat to the colony!

    Unsurprisingly, these severe consequences to its safety were also mentioned on the bus.

    Qin Feng walked up to his kills and, again, unconsciously absorbed the energy from the frogmen. He could feel enormous strength coursing through every vein, pulsating his every muscle.

    It was a lovely feeling, one that Qin Feng had not experienced for so many years. Far too long it was.

    After all, back at that time, he had not advanced for a long time.

    After he had received the awakening injection, he became an ability user. But the energy he absorbed was directed towards strengthening his body, so the might he disyed was actually little his own but that of an Ancient Warrior.

    If he were to be measured by current assessments, Qin Feng was definitely a G1-tier Ancient Warrior!

    After he gouged the eyeballs out, Qin Feng continued to march forward, steady and determined.

    Three hourster and he¡¯d already made his way through the slushy reed marshes where the unmistakable, low rumble of rushing waters came to ear.

    This was it. This was the real Qinghe bay, real but just as dangerous.

    Man-eating fishes infested the waters, and the ever-present threat of a crocodile beast made this a forbidden area.

    Owing to that, the Chengbei colony was unaware that there was a hidden anti-human organization, which also doubled as Z Organization¡¯s undergroundb.

    Qin Feng had note here for revenge. In his current shape, he needed to build himself up above all else.

    No, he chose toe here because he believed there was help.

    Qin Feng strapped on his oxygen tank and goggles, which he had bought at the store earlier.

    Splosh!!!

    Qin Feng jumped into the frigid water.

 Chapter 7: Dead Giant Beast

    <h4>Chapter 7: Dead Giant Beast</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    This part of the river ran real deep. Qin Feng entered the water and was immediately greeted by a peculiar blue-red glow all around him. Those were, without a doubt, toxin deposits, which in turn meant that there were no mutant organisms around this area.

    Thest time he escaped from death, he did not feel a thing. Now, he felt a stinging pain where his skin was exposed to the toxins.

    He brushed the pain away. Compared to his injuries sustained thest time, this was nothing!

    Qin Feng moved swiftly in the water. After his recent upgrades and developments, his speed and strength had improved, and he was able to swim freely.

    In less than three minutes, he made it to the bottom of the river where a ck hole opened up.

    It was about two meters wide and even if Qin Feng stood upright, he would still be able to go through it without issue.

    Calcting his shots, he swam his way inside.

    The hole tilted upwards. After ten meters or so diving through the passage, Qin Feng reached the surface of the water.

    The moment he shut off the oxygen supply, an extremely pungent odor attacked his nostrils.

    No wonder it reeked in here. He was inside a sewage pipe.

    This was where he had escaped from theboratory in his previous life.

    He remembered that back then, after receiving the awakening injection, Zhou Hao had to carry him out of the research center, which was the ce they came face to face with the razor-fanged infants. His friend had been bitten to death, whereas he had to struggle with one of the monsters leaving him severely injured.

    But when the razor-fanged infants had died, Qin Feng had assimted their energy, and those wounds were able to recover quickly. It had been almost unbelievable.

    When Qin Feng was being diagnosed, a doctor revealed that this could indeed be his special ability after his awakening.

    After that, when he was leaving the medical tent, he had been attacked and kidnapped.

    Subsequently, another turmoil transpired in the colony, and in the hubaloo, no one had noticed the disappearance of a sixteen-year-old.

    Just like Zhou Hao¡¯s death, it had been merely another unfortunate ident.

    After that, Qin Feng had been taken into theboratory where he had been experimented on for hours. Only once had they confirmed that he was really dead, did they dispose of his body in the trash. They had waited for the corpse to dpose, before flinging it into the river and into oblivion.

    These thoughts drifted through his mind, and before he knew it, he had already reached the end of the tunnel.

    There was a piece of metal sheet blocking his path. Arge human-like palm was wedged, leaving a 30-centimeter gap, big enough for one person to squeeze through.

    Qin Feng climbed up, pausing to take a look at the giant hand of the creature that had saved him in his previous life.

    It was a creature about 30 meters long. But right now, it was in a wretched state. Its flesh rotted from its bones, a result of exposure to the toxins. Apart from a w that was trying to pry the metal sheet open, and another one which broke off and had fallen onto the pile of trash, the rest of the talons were nowhere to be found.

    From the remaining bits of flesh, Qin Feng concluded that it must have been a furry beast that looked like it had been skinned to the bone. All its innards had been extracted, even leaving the creature without a tail.

    Both of the creature¡¯s eyes had been gouged out, its eyebrows bored into, indicating that the creature¡¯s core which amassed its abilities had long been removed.

    Its flesh and bones were brittle as a result of the infernal experiments; all that was left had no value whatsoever.

    ¡°How did it die?!¡± Qin Feng muttered under his breath when he saw the hole the size of a fist.

    If it was already so severely injured, how did this creature manage to pry open the metal sheet?

    ¡°Wait... Could it be soul energy? But then again...¡± Qin Feng frowned.

    He hade here today for this giant creature.

    Back then, when he had been confirmed dead and disposed of in the trash mount, he had fallen on top of this creature and felt his body absorbing energy. The ability was at least ten times weaker than the time he was awakened just now.

    After the destructive experiments he had been put through, there was barely anything left of his ability.

    Even so, the energy that he had absorbed from the creature had brought him back to life. When he had realized that, he crawled out of the opening and escaped death.

    This meant that the creature had indirectly saved Qin Feng¡¯s life.

    He had wanted dearly toe back after he was reborn to rescue this creature and settle his debt. If he could nurture and grow the beast, it would be undoubtedly powerful enough to destroy the entire Z Organization.

    The creature¡¯s dpidated state, however, was utterly out of his expectation.

    Qin Feng looked at the time. He was here ten minutes earlier than he was in his previous life when he was awake.

    ¡°Wait! What is this?¡± Qin Feng noticed that the giant beast¡¯s body had suddenly moved as if something was pushing against it.

    Then, suddenly a bright silver light radiated from the belly of the beast, followed by a wave of spatial fluctuation!

    After the same experience just a few hours ago, and the many years of conversance with spatial fluctuation, how could Qin Feng not recognize it?

    Could this space rift be the reason for his rebirth?

    Strange. It didn¡¯t make sense. That opening was too small, even smaller than the one that the razor-fanged infants had climbed out of. While Qin Feng was always on high alert, having experienced the previous life, he did not flee but instead reached out and pushed the giant corpse.

    The silver halo of light looking about the size of a DVD rose into the air.

    ¡°Space passage!¡±

    The difference between a space passage and a spatial rift was that thetter was unstable and could copse at any given time, while the former was stable and mostly man-made.

    A moment after the passage had opened, it spat out a red ovoid object around half the size of a human fist and disappeared in a sh.

    Qin Feng let his gaze follow the thing that had fallen out of the passage.

    Apparently, it was an irregrly shaped egg, or perhaps, more precisely, an afterbirth.

    Wrapped within the translucent cental expulsion was a creature as tiny as a scrawny puppy.

    Qin Feng could sense that the little puppy¡¯s vital signs were steady, thanks to the shell-like encapstion cloaking its precious cargo.

    In his mind, everything was starting to line up.

    ¡°Perhaps, the energy that I absorbed back then came from this little thing!¡±

    Qin Feng had fallen down andnded on top of the giant beast, which was why he had mistakenly assumed that it was the giant beast¡¯s energy that saved him.

    ¡°Hello, little one! From now on, I¡¯ll look after you. Let¡¯s exact revenge together!¡± Qin Feng picked up the afterbirth and gently ced it in a waterproofpartment in his backpack.

    Suddenly, a deafening mechanical sound pealed the silence of his surroundings.

    Above him, a sharp de was descending! Evidently, before the garbage was disposed of, everything was to be minced!

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will take good care of your child!¡± Qin Feng promised the carcass of the gargantuan creature.

    As he stepped through the gap, watery blood trickled down the eyes of the in alien beast as if crying.

    Whirrr...

    The blender whirred at a terrifying speed, pulverizing everything it touched.

    Qin Feng climbed out of the passage, and the sharp, burning pain stung his skin once again as the toxic liquid made contact with his body.

    But it did not bother him. He continued swimming towards the shore, even killing a bunch of frogmen on his way back until he reached shallower waters.

    The toxic scum from theboratory did not reach this part of the river, so it was supposedly clear and safe from pollution.

    When the spatial rifts started appearing, and the humans ungraciously forced down the food chain, factories had no choice but to shut down. Within centuries, the earth was covered in lush green foliage, and pollution decreased drastically¡ªprobably a good thing for mother earth!

    Qin Feng washed his hands, face, and neck in the clean water. Fortunately, his body was unaffected; if the T3 suit did not have this protective function, it would not have been worth its asking price.

    Once he had cleaned up, Qin Feng unzipped his bag and removed the afterbirth1 with the little creature still inside.

    Perhaps it was because it was away from the space passage, that the little thing regained its vitality.

    Qin Feng could see, very clearly, every breath it inhaled. The translucent liquid in the cental expulsion gradually disappeared into its mouth, slowly wringing its little capsule and sucking up energy!

    In less than an hour, it might even hatch.

    Qin Feng checked the time and saw that it was already eight at night. No cars traversed the wilderness at this hour, and the base was by now securely locked down!

    He would have to spend the night here.

    He walked around, soon finding a ce sheltered from the wind. He was careful to sprinkle some beast repellent powder around the area to keep particr low-tier creatures away with its caustic smell.

    As for space rifts, though they may appear effortlessly, the chances of them urring was not very high. The only exception here was that every time they appeared, they were often almost inevitably destructive.

    From what he could remember, on this night of which he escaped death, there were no spatial rifts.

    If that was the case, it should not be a problem for him to spend one night out here in the open wilderness.

    Looking back, Qin Feng had one too many experiences sleeping rough all alone in the wilderness.

    He hurriedly gobbled down somepressed biscuits, slowly settling down on the earth, legs crossed, and acknowledging the whispering quiet of his inner world.

    Slowly, Qin Feng rxed, and his breathing slowed. It was as if he was no longer in this world.

    It waspletely dark in his mind. It was then when a crystalline diamond suddenly appeared in his perception.

    From afar, the diamond ¡®looked¡¯ infinitesimal.

    But as Qin Feng thought about getting closer, the diamond began to expand.

    It felt as if he was floating in the darkness of deep space and along his line of sight was a brilliant star, continuously expanding in his eyes.

    It was very much like a diamond. No one could tell how big it really was, and all around this transparent was a faint halo of smog circling it.

    ¡°Ability core!¡± Qin Feng gasped.

    In thest life, his talent was destroyed, and no matter how hard he tried to manifest it in his thoughts, he could not sense the ability core that all the ability users were talking about.

    Now, it was clear. This diamond only existed in the ability core within the human consciousness.

    This was the first time he could see his own ability core, in its wholeplete and unscathed glory.

    It was big and robust, quietly levitating in the darkness, intensely brilliant and blinding.

    Qin Feng controlled his excitement, carefully reaching out to it again.

    This diamond was notpletely clear as a ck light actuallyy at its core, dark and deep like a whirlpool that could suck in all forms of matter.

    ¡°This is my innate absorbing ability! From the looks of it, it¡¯s really powerful!¡±

    Sensing this ability brought Qin Feng back to the time before his rebirth, when his ability core was destroyed, leaving only this ck nucleus, which gave him the ability to absorb.

    The only thing was that he could never be an ability user again, and had to use this ability to be an Ancient Warrior.

    ¡°My absorbing ability is ck. Could that mean that I am a dark ability user?!¡±

    To this day, there were ten types of abilities among ability users, where some were weak and some strong. Their respective probability of awakening was very high. It consisted of five ordinary element abilities, namely metal, wood, water, fire, earth. Special abilities included wind, thunder, ice, and the two extremely rare abilities of light and darkness.

    Who would have known that his ability would be darkness?

    Qin Feng¡¯s mind began to wander as his consciousness began to ease, and the bright star gradually moved further away until it was just a tiny speck in the darkness.

    He slowly opened his eyes, looking as if he had just returned from a long journey. Although the darkness disappeared and he had already left his subconscious, his mind was extremely exhausted.

    ¡°My consciousness is too weak!¡± Qin Feng furrowed his brows.

    Consciousness was one of the required strengths to control a user¡¯s special ability. Even if he practiced the Ancient Warrior¡¯s ability, his inner force¡¯s development would require him to have better control of his subconsciousness as well. He would need to keep practicing it until he genuinely mastered its art.

    Chirp! Chirp!

    The voice sounded frail. Qin Feng turned around to look for the source of the noise, immediately drawn to his sleeping bag.

    He unzipped his sleeping bag and lo and behold, a creaturey squirming on the thin mat!

    It was the little beast that he had rescued.

    It had chewed through its afterbirth, eating nearly half of it, leaving remnants of goo dangling from its hind legs. That stuff would dry up soon enough.

    Chirp! Chirp!

    The little creature called out, eyes still shut and mouth opened wide as if looking for something to eat.

    Qin Feng took out a tube of nutrient jelly, which had a strong remedy effect. He initially nned to use these to help the giant beast recover some of its strength, but instead, he was now giving them to its offspring.

    The little creature clung to the stic tube and began to suckle hungrily.

    Qin Feng looked down at the meek little thing and smiled; the tension in his shoulders eased and, his heart began to soften.

    After that, he produced a towel, wet it lightly with water, put it against his body to warm it, and wiped the little beast. Never had he ever been so gentle before. Not even with his own brothers and women, neither in the previous life nor this life.

    Undoubtedly, it was because those people were strong enough not to need it in the first ce!

    After he had dried the tiny body, the little beast¡¯s appearance changed slightly. As the bloodstained fur was exposed to air, it dried up, and in its ce, white fur sprouted.

    ¡°I¡¯ll call you Xiao Bai!¡±

    Terrible at naming things, Qin Feng decided not to trouble himself and christened the little beast. Like it or hate it, the newborn did not possess the ability to refuse names given to it. It merely chirped twice, drank up until it was full before falling into a deep slumber.

    Qin Feng crawled into his sleeping bag, cing the little beast on top of his chest to avoid crushing it.

    Even though his eyes were shut, he was only 30% asleep but 70% awake. It became second nature to achieve such feats since he had already spent a great deal of time in the wilderness previously.

    While he was in this semi-awoken state, a noise in the dark drifted to his ears. Qin Feng¡¯s eyes immediately popped open. Quickly getting to his feet, he ced Xiao Bai into his shirt pocket, hurriedly rolled up the mat, and stuffed it into thebat backpack. It only took him ten seconds to get all of that done.

    From afar, the soulful howling of wolves pierced the stoic night. Suddenly, several figures were seen scampering frantically toward him.

    ¡°Run! Hurry!¡± Li Yaoyao kept repeating these words in her mind as if to give herself some strength.

    But as energy quickly drained from her body, she started to slow down. From the very beginning, she was not a physically fit Ancient Warrior.

    In front of her, Wang Kai, Jiang Wenxuan, and Yuhai¡¯s silhouette began to blur into the distance.

    They were way faster and much further ahead of her. They were running for their fragile lives, not daring even to look back.

    Just when Li Yaoyao was about to give up, a wispy voice called out, ¡°Yaoyao! Run! I will distract them!¡±

    ¡°Mengmeng!¡± Li Yaoyao turned around and saw that Lu Meng had stopped running, her petite 1.5-meter frame suddenly looked really tall.

    Lu Meng opened the space receptacle, and a machine fell out,nding on the ground with a loud boom.

    Click! ck! Click! ck!

    The gears on the machine moved, a cold sheen reflecting off its surface under the silvery glow of the moonlight.

    The T9 assault tower had been hastily assembled, equipped with arge gattling gun with 9 muzzles the size of a grinding wheels armed with a honeb of bullets.

    Pow! pow! pow! pow! pow! pow! pow!

    Bullets whizzed by, and bright muzzle shes woke the dark wilderness.

    In the shadows of the night, a red radiance let out a long, high-pitched cry. Clearly, scary weaponry like this was bound to inflict some severe damage on the enemy.

    Qin Feng, hoping to take advantage of the darkness to stay out of sight, cursed under his breath as he darted to arge tree behind him to avoid getting caught in the middle of a firefight.

    Qin Feng recognized that the people being chased were the five students he¡¯d encountered earlier today.

    He could not believe that they would have such bad luck. Merely too ostentatious were they, perhaps? How did they manage to draw a pack of jackals on their first night here?!

    But it was just a regr ol¡¯ jackal pack though. With the girl named Meng Meng¡¯s T9 assault tower, it should be a reasonably easy task to get rid of them.

    ¡°That nouveau riche!¡± Qin Feng was observing Lu Meng in the darkness. A big machine like that needed to be transported by a tactical van. It was supposed to be a team machine that cost over 2 million for one, not mentioning it required a vast amount of ammunition.

    But, that was nothingpared to the space receptacle whereby one cubic meter was worth a good 5 million. The fact that she was able to fit a T9 assault tower inside meant that it was surely upwards of one cubic meter.

    Qin Feng was deciding on whether he should wait for them to die before taking it for himself when a giant creature suddenly came into view.

    The monster was 2 meters tall; its giant body was shaped like an ordinary, non-mutated bull. However, this one had a coal-ck hide, bloodshot eyes, and sharp snow-white fangs that glinted in the night.

    ¡°Beast-general tier! Neapolitan Mastiff!¡± eximed Qin Feng when he saw the creature¡¯s true form and immediately recognized it.

    There were always some species of powerful beasts among themon ultra beasts. Labeled differently ording to their strength, their kind saw beast soldiers, beast generals, and the beast kings among their hierarchy.

    Beast soldiers were like the elites among humans and, with effort, could be easily killed.

    But beast generals, on the other hand, weremanders among the monsters.

    This Neapolitan Mastiff had already reached a beast-general tier. No wonder these people were hysterical.

    The assault tower spat out bullets like a hurricane, yet it was unable to inflict any damage on the creature ¨C the beast was too fast!

    Whoosh!

    The Neapolitan Mastiff was no less intelligent than a human, quickly making its way behind Lu Meng to evade the bullets and simultaneously reaching out its ws towards Lu Meng.

    ¡°NO!¡± Li Yaoyao screamed.

    The elements in the environment vibrated violently, and a ripple of water appeared, forming a wall of water behind Lu Meng. The hound¡¯s sharp ws tore through the fragile protection, slicing down his back with great fury!

    Screeeeeech!

    Lu Meng¡¯s jacket was torn, revealing a thin silver garment underneath, which was apparently very strong as it seemed to be intact, allowing it to protect its wearer.

    However, the force of the strike threw Lu Meng into the air. That alone was enough to cause her serious injuries.

    Then, the creature ignored Li Yaoyao and charged towards Lu Meng like a mindless beast locked on to its prey and nothing else!

    ¡°Ah, forget it!¡± Qin Feng sighed.

    Ultimately, he was not some cold-blooded murderer. This girl was not very powerful, but yet, she attempted to fend off the monster to buy her friend some time ¨C reminding Qin Feng of Zhou Hao¡¯s camaraderie.

    True friendship was indeed invaluable.

    He had enough. Qin Feng decided to get involved.

    Swish!

    An arrow shot off his crossbow, headed towards the Neapolitan Mastiff at an extremely tricky angle.

    In its hunt for food, the Neapolitan Mastiff had not taken into ount random arrows that came out of nowhere. The shot may not be lethal, but if it was unable to avoid it, the arrow would surely puncture its eye.

    The beast swerved to the side to dodge the iing spine and, in doing so, missing the chance to pounce on Lu Meng.

    Qin Feng did not stop there and, instead, released a second arrow!

    Swoosh!

    This one, too, had its sights set on the Neapolitan Mastiff¡¯s eyes.

    This time, however, the beast could not evade it. The moment he dodged the first arrow, he had unwittingly stepped into Qin Feng¡¯s trap.

    The Neapolitan Mastiff wailed in pain as the arrow impaled its eye. It winced and flinched for a moment, then became mad. Raving mad.

    Bam!

    The creature sprang forward in a tormented rage and rammed itself against the tree that Qin Feng was hiding behind.

    Against all odds, Qin Feng had already escaped to another tree.

    Being attacked by a wild beast was no short of a petrifying experience.

    While avoiding a head-on confrontation with the Neapolitan Mastiff, Qin Feng kept shooting at it, taunting the monster with each provoking arrow!

    This was his experience in the previous life, this was his bestbat technique.

    When Lu Meng, who thought that this was going to be herst day for sure, saw someoneing to her rescue, she could not help but let relief drown her as she had escaped death. She now began to feel hopeful.

    But this hope quickly turned into despair again ¨C the arrows only served to slow the beast, which was still advancing towards its attacker! Qin Feng was forced to retreat, closing in the distance between the two of them.

    Now, it looked like the beast would surely catch up to him and rip him apart!

    Both Lu Meng and Li Yaoyao recognized him ¨C the guy who came down the car with them.

    He was only armed with simple weaponry, and there was no ability user medal on his chest, almost certainly not powerful enough to stop the ultra beast.

    Then, all of a sudden, Qin Feng leaped into the air.

    Lu Meng¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Is he going to...¡±

    Before she could even think about it, Qin Feng was already standing on top of the T9 assault tower.

    Unrealizing of his location, Qin Feng, who had been running away from the Neapolitan Mastiff, had drawn near to the assault tower. He meant to control this powerful gun.

    Ever since the appearance of the space rift, humanity had experienced not only destruction but also evolution.

    Ability users and Ancient Warriors began to emerge. But the majority of people were the gunners.

    Gunners used strengthening potions to improve their strengths, then relied on machines to perform their destructive attacks. Even though their power would never match up to that of the ability users and Ancient Warriors, their low threshold and high numbers were like the mass-produced grains that kept human beings alive.

    Under such circumstances, the continuous development of machines, and the urrence of all sorts of energy from space rifts lead to a breakthrough in machinery.

    The gunners also had pronounced weaknesses. When it came to their reaction, speed, and strength, they would always be inferior to ability users and ancient warriors.

    ¡°No! There¡¯s no way he can do it!¡±

    What she was about to witness would leave her shocked.

    Just like the arrows, Qin Feng triggered the assault cannon, pelting the Neapolitan Mastiff with a hail of bullets.

    Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!

    When the smoke and gunpowder cleared, the Neapolitan Mastiff was clearly maimed by the relentless shelling.

    ¡°Aaaoooouuuuuu!¡± The Neapolitan Mastiff howled as it was sent flying into the air.

    Unlike Lu Meng, Qin Feng did not keep his finger on the trigger unremittingly. It was always twisting the nozzle with a click, raising it a little, and then a steady pull.

    With no mercy whatsoever, another shower of bullets flooded the Neapolitan Mastiff, piercing the most vulnerable part of its body, its abdomen, and punching holes into its vital organs.

    Just like that, with two attacks, the Neapolitan Mastiff was severely wounded.

    ¡°Aooouuuuuuu!¡± The Neapolitan Mastiff fell from the sky, howling soulfully as if its end was near.

    Although the injuries inflicted on him were not deadly for now, if the fight were to continue, it would surely die.

    So, it called out, signaling for its pack.

    One by one, pairs of glowing red eyes began to flicker in the dense forest.

    Red-eyed jackals!

    When the Neapolitan Mastiff was hunting its prey, they were watching by the side, not participating left the beast general might think that they were going for its food.

    Now that they were allowed to join the hunt, their crimson eyes were practically dripping with blood, mouths drooling to the ground as they red at Qin Feng, eager to tear into him.

    ¡°Come on then!¡± Qin Feng deftly grabbed onto the assault tower.

    It would seem the assault cannon had a spirit of its own, as it mimicked his movements and ferociously shredded the jackals into pieces.

    Qin Feng noticed a pair of red eyes before one of the jackals even made a move, and pulled the trigger!

    In a blink of an eye, the jackal was pattered with over twenty bullets.

    ¡°Aaaaooouuuuu!¡±

    The smell of blood set off the pack of jackals, with three of them charging directly towards their assant! Qin Feng shifted the assault tower and sent bullets flying everywhere again.

    Fight them off!!!

    Fight them off again!

    ¡°Come and help me reload the canon if you are still breathing!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s icy tone muddled between the deafening shots.

    Lu Meng suddenly snapped out of her daze and crawled to Qin Feng while trying to bear the pain.

    Li Yaoyao quickly ran to her friend and tended to her wound. But her eyes were glued on Qin Feng. That young man looked so calm, and besides, there was a charm about him.

    Swoosh!

    Rows of ammunition were being loaded into the weapon. Lu Meng watched Qin Feng¡¯s antics in amusement ¨C that precision, that skill; it was mesmerizing.

    Qin Feng finished shooting onest round and then stopped.

    When Lu Meng saw that he had ceased fire, she panicked. ¡°What is it? Why did you stop? You ran out of ammo?¡±

    Qin Feng turned to look Lu Meng in the eye. ¡°They¡¯re all dead. We¡¯ll split the loot between us. The Neapolitan Mastiff is mine!¡±

    Lu Meng looked around and saw the lifeless red-eyed jackals scattered all over the field. The nightmare that was pursuing them was now already dead.

    ¡°They¡¯re all dead!¡± Lu Meng¡¯s eyes widened.

    Qin Feng ignored the na?ve little girl and was already standing over the corpses, absorbing the energy into his body, which was supposed to strengthen him and increase his speed.

    When as he walked up to the Neapolitan Mastiff, a massive wave of energy shocked him!

    Buzz!

    Qin Feng felt his surroundings tremble, and his strength got a substantial unexpected boost.

    G2 tier!

    If he told anyone, at all, that on the second day of his awakening, he had risen to two tiers without any potions, their jaws would have fallen to their feet!

    That was Qin Feng¡¯s ability, however.

    This ability that awakened only a minute after the injection could potentially reach S tier.

    Right now, however, Qin Feng still had not mastered this special ability, having not honed himself to exploit it to its fullest.

    Qin Feng suppressed his newly acquired as a measure for discretion and began to collect his loot.

    The red-eyed jackal¡¯s fur and sharp ws were materials that could be sold.

    Ultimately, to make the exchange with Chengbei colony¡¯s officials, he needed to cut out the ears of the red-eyed jackals.

    But forty over red-eyed jackals could definitely notpare to one Neapolitan Mastiff.

    That. Now that was a beast general!

    Qin Feng carved into the Neapolitan Mastiff¡¯s body with his dagger, expertly removing its pelt, teeth, and ws.

    The most important part was actually located at the center of the creature¡¯s chest, near the heart.

    Squirt!

    Fresh blood sttered as the muscles were quickly sliced. After the ribs were removed, what looked like a spherical red bead was revealed.

    Neapolitan Mastiffs were categorized as beast generals because of this energy core in its body, the source of energy for its awakened speed and strength. Most of these were located next to the heart.

    This red bead could be used directly to enhance its physique and was many times stronger than G-tier strengthening potions.

    Qin Feng pocketed the bead then squeezed the remainder of the materials into his backpack. That was only one Neapolitan Mastiff¡¯s worth, and yet his backpack was now fully stuffed!

    On the other side of the field, Lu Meng and Li Mengmeng looked as pale as ghosts. When Lu Meng saw the insides of the sliced corpse, she nearly threw up the meal she hadst night.

    ¡°If it weren¡¯t for you, I would¡¯ve been dead. I still haven¡¯t thanked you yet. Please take all of these with you!¡± Lu Meng protested.

    She was never one to stand the sight of blood from dissecting corpses.

    Qin Feng nced at Lu Meng and answered, unreserved, ¡°Sure!¡±

    He was, in fact, about to give the rest to her to minimize her losses, but it seemed like she did not care anyway.

    Materials from these red-eyed jackals were not even worth nearly as much as the bullets used tonight!

    Right now, Qin Feng needed to create some fortune. After all, he had just been reborn. While he might not have been very sessful in his previous life, he was at least a valiant mercenary who had fought hundreds of battles, and one who did notck money either.

    Currently, he was poor as a pauper and needed a lot of resources to support his training.

    He dragged all the red-eyed jackals to a pile and then removed their nails and ears. As their coats were too tattered, he did not collect them.

    After a few minutes, Qin Feng had bagged all the materials gathered into his sleeping bag. That thing was nothing very valuable anyway. Even if there were bloodstains on it, he could just rece it with a new one.

    Once he was done, he turned around and saw the frightened Lu Meng and Li Yaoyao shuddering on the ground, looking very lost and exhausted.

    The sun was rising, and the skies were bright. This meant that the vehicles would start making rounds soon, and they could finally return home!

    Qin Feng tied up his sleeping bag and looked around to determine the direction they should head.

    ¡°Come with me, let¡¯s get back to the colony!¡± Qin Feng said, dragging the sleeping back behind him.

    ¡°Thank you! Thank you!¡± Li Yaoyao quickly said. She was truly grateful that Qin Feng had helped them and, for the most part, kept them alive to see another day.

    Lu Meng kept her assault cannon, and although Li Yaoyao had tended to her wounds, she took a huge blow, and the internal damage she suffered was pretty severe by this point.

    Qin Feng looked back to check up on both girls, and when he saw that they had no trouble keeping up with him, he continued to move ahead, not saying a single word.

    They were just some ignorant students. There was no need to get too concerned.

    Surprisingly though, Li Yaoyao¡¯s had an extremely poor water healing ability!

    If the flowers in the greenhouse were taking risks, then what awaited them was withering after the storm.

    At around six in the morning, a wilderness en route patrol car arrived at the scene.

    Over twenty people had gathered at the pickup point, some bearing abundant yield while others hung by the threads of their lives.

    These kinds of things had happened one too many times and were nothing unusual.

    Qin Feng kept walking towards the group, unfazed, whereas Li Yaoyao and Lu Meng were on edge, still mortified by the recent violence.

    ¡°Wang Kai, you guys...¡± Li Yaoyao¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment.

    She was addressing thepanions who hade with her.

    It was those three guys who had invited her to this trip, promising to look after and protect Li Yaoyao from their support ss. They were nning to rescue the damsel in distress, whereby they would showoff their strengths. In the end, they had abandoned her and ran off on their own.

    Now here they were, waiting for the car, with not the slightest speck of concern if Li Yaoyao and Lu Ming were still alive.

    ¡°Asshole! Cowardly pussies! You¡¯ll die horrible deaths!¡± Lu Meng shouted at the three guys.

    Jiang Wenxuan was shocked to see hispanions getting the boot, but he quickly adjusted his expressions.

    ¡°Lu Meng, Yaoyao, I knew you guys would be alright!¡±

    ¡°You knew that we were alright? How would you know that? Why don¡¯t the three of you try getting chased by a G3 beast general?!¡± Lu Meng spat.

    Fear shed in the boys¡¯ eyes, but that soon turned into anger.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you fine now?¡± retorted an annoyed Yu Hai.

    Li Yaoyao looked incredulously at him. She could not believe that he actually had the nick to say that. ¡°Aren¡¯t we supposed to bepanions? You abandoned us, and now, you dare act as if you¡¯ve done nothing wrong? So, you¡¯re that kind of people, huh?¡±

    ¡°What kind of people? Foolish bravery often leads to certain death, you idiot! We wouldn¡¯t bring a burden like you with us again!¡± Yu Hai¡¯s nose red.

    Li Yaoyao was shaking from head to toe. This was such a big and unexpected blow.

    Others standing around watched the group of youngsters¡¯ arguments, amused by the escting situation.

    How could these greenhorns understand the dangers and cruelty of the unmerciful wilderness?!

    But when the term ¡®beast general¡¯ was mentioned, some of them looked surprised.

    Coming face to face with a beast general was no joke!

    ¡°Burden?¡± Qin Feng finally spoke, his tone frosty as his red at Yu Hai. ¡°If a water ability user is a burden, then I¡¯m afraid that there would be no medical practitioners around to help you. If what you¡¯ve said is uploaded to the inte, you¡¯ll be famous! You are unworthy ofpanions! Unworthy of joining any team! You may look like you¡¯re an ancient warrior, but are you proud of the fact that you left the water ability user behind while you run for your life? Do you think that you had the right to do that? You don¡¯t even have the balls to own up to your mistakes, yet you want to be on the front line? You might as go back and look after the elderly! Of course, you can hide in the corner and bully the average people, and be some thug or something. The world is so big. I¡¯m sure there are filthy ces that can put up with the likes of you!¡±

    Qin Feng threw words at the boy. His intention was not to reprimand but to put the three guys to shame and humiliate them.

    When everyone else heard the speech, they exploded intoughter.

    ¡°Trash will always be trash! Making excuses for hisck of character!¡±

    ¡°From the looks of it, it¡¯s their first time out!¡±

    ¡°They are probably still students!¡±

    ¡°They came out here even though they knew that they were helpless, causing big trouble to themselves and others!¡±

    ¡°They don¡¯t even know the rules, and they think themselves infallible! This is new.¡±

    The people did not restrain themselves from speaking their minds. Every one of them was pretty strong, and naturally, had no reason to be afraid of Wang Kai and his buddies.

    Wang Kai dared not cross the crowd either. But deep inside, his rage boiled under pressure and was spilling over like a volcano about to explode.

    Yuhai was more impulsive than his friends, and he was shaking violently. As an ancient warrior who had spent a year training in school, he was toned and muscr, and at 185cm, he was a good head taller than Qin Feng.

    He took a step forward towards Qin Feng as if taunting to initiate a fight.

    Swoosh!

    An arrow whizzed through the air, then stabbed the ground millimeters off Yu Hai¡¯s feet.

    ¡°You want to die?¡± Qing Feng looked at him with piercing eyes.

    For a moment, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured over Yu Hao¡¯s boiling blood!

    Having already exhausted all their weapons in the fight the night before, there were no bullets left in their guns. Then, amid the panic, Yu Hai lost the only knife he had.

    Right now, he dared not return the blows because Qin Feng¡¯s crossbow still had arrows in them.

    ¡°Just you wait!¡± Yu Hai hissed. Wang Kai looked terrified, whereas Jiang Wenxuan concealed his fury within his eyes.

    The three boys retreated, receiving scornful looks from the people around them. Soon, they were standing outside of the twenty people group.

    Qin Feng and the girls, on the other hand, were surrounded from all corners. They seemed to have taken a great interest in Li Yaoyao, the ability user.

    ¡°If you want toe out to the wilderness again, then you should look for people like us. Don¡¯t get tricked by those people. It¡¯s too dangerous out here for you to just bet your life on anyone!¡±

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you join our mercenary team? We take good care of water ability users!¡±

    ¡°Our teams even provide better benefits!¡±

    Most of those people were just teasing, most of it meaningless banter.

    Ability users were the first professionals amongst the long-suffering human beings. Even if they were not fully developed, they would not be joining these small mercenary teams.

    Regardless of whether it was the garrison or the patrol, or the official department for that matter, their doors were always open for them. Big organizations and mercenary regiments gave them the VIP treatment.

    Every year in the Chengyang colony, around 30,000 sixteen-year-olds were awakened. Within the vast number, only about twenty to thirty of them were ability users. Not exactly one in ten thousand, but still, one in a thousand.

    The crowd also showed a lot of interest in Qin Feng and Lu Meng. But after asking them some questions, and finding out that one was an average enhancer and the other a gunner, their interest fizzled out as quickly is it lit up.

    They were too young, and besides, small teams like theirs were not a charity; they did not need rookies on their side.

    One of them, however, did not perform like a newbie.

    Qin Feng could not care less for these people¡¯s opinions, and neither was he interested either. He merely kept a straight face and refused to answer their condescending questions.

    Luckily for him, the cars soon arrived.

    There were three of them, and each was well-equipped with powerful weapons, considering how dangerous it was to cruise the wilderness at dawn.

 Chapter 12: Orphanage

    <h4>Chapter 12: Orphanage</h4>

    The cars were all packed full to the brim.

    Squeezing with all those people, and having to put his belongings on the car roof, Qin Feng could not help but think to himself, ¡°If I want toe out to the wilderness again, I would have to buy abat vehicle. But then, for that, I would have to set up a team!¡±

    Unless he had a huge space receptacle, he might lose a car if he left it out in the wilderness.

    But only the nouveau riche have the capacity for luxuries like that!

    Qin Feng nced at the weak and inadequate Lu Meng.

    Of course, Wang Kai, having been ostracized by the group, did not get on the same car.

    Maybe it was because of the stuffy and stale air in the car that made Qin Feng feel the squirm of the supposedly sound asleep little guy wrapped in his chest.

    Qin Feng¡¯s chest pocket was quite spacious, allowing the palm-sized Xiaobai to move around inside it.

    ¡°Keep still!¡± Qin Feng patted his pocket. There were too many prying eyes here for its own good.

    Xiaobai¡¯s mom looked like she was pretty powerful, and if the good genes had been passed right, little Xiaobai could be nurtured and trained, obviously troublesome if someone their eyes on it.

    To Qin Feng¡¯s relief, Xiaobei stopped shifting soon after.

    He lifted his hand from his pocket, thoughts immediately shifting to the person whom he added to his contacts yesterday¡ªXue Xingfu!

    [I have some things here. Do you want them?]

    Qin Fengpiled a list of his haul and sent it to the guy.

    Xue Xingfu was still stirring in his bed at six in the morning. The loud notification alerted him, and when he saw the message on hismunicator, he sprung up from his bed, eyes wide open.

    [Yes!]

    Xue Xingfu had a feeling that this young man was not going to be just some ordinary run-of-the-mill guy.

    It had only been a day, and there he was, hauling in a mountain of items.

    Yesterday, he found just out that Qin Feng had received his awakening injection only recently.

    From the looks of how things had panned out, Xue Xingfu ran a silent thought through his mind. This young man was extraordinary.

    Qing Feng texted:

    [I¡¯ll exchange them for 80 strengthening potions!]

    [You want more strengthening potions? And what? You mean to exchange for 80 vials? Even if I get them at half price, I can¡¯t afford so many with my sry!]

    Qin Feng smiled. These potions were not very useful to him; just hard currency that held its value.

    Even if the federal government did issue paper money, most people in this era still believed in the ancient trade of bartering.

    These things were real, after all!

    [Then, just give me F-grade ones!]

    Many hourster...

    It took Xue Xingfu nearly half a day of ruminating before agreeing reluctantly.

    Qin Feng took the opportunity and tried his luck, saying:

    [Also, I have the materials of a beast general. Can I exchange it for an energy gun?]

    [...]

    How much more incredible could this young man be?

    In the end, however, Xue Xingfu suppressed his curiosity and agreed to the exchange.

    Qin Feng nodded in happy approval. Since he had only just been reborn, it was advantageous for him to have abat partner like that!

    After half an hour, he alighted the vehicle at the Chengbei colony¡¯s wilderness terminal, walked up to an ordinary car, opened the back door, and entered. By the time Lu Meng and Li Yaoyao alighted, Qin Feng was nowhere to be seen.

    ¡°What in the world? He just left like that? I was going to treat him to a meal?!¡± Lu Mengined, arms crossed.

    ¡°He¡¯s from the Chengbei colony. We will run into him soon enough!¡± Li Yaoyao said softly, hurt by the fact that they were just nobodies in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    ...

    Qin Feng was utterly clueless as to what the girls were thinking. They had only met each other by chance, and he risked his life saving them¡ªalready an act of kindness in itself. There was no need for him to watch over the rookies like a nanny.

    In the car, Xue Xingfu was calcting how much merit he had that could be exchanged for all the fresh materials.

    Qin Feng also got what he needed¡ªthree vials of F-tier strengthening potions, twenty G-tier strengthening potions, and an energy gun.

    The strengthening potions were worth 400,000¡ªthe equivalent of the ultra beast he killed; whereas, the energy gun was worth 200,000¡ªthe price of one Neapolitan Mastiff.

    To be able to earn such money, the average person would have to work their arse off for at least half a lifetime.

    Most of the young and strong who desired to be stinking rich were willing to spend their lives hunting and killing ultra beasts, in turn, enabling them to procure strengthening potions to heighten their performance. The only thing was, they often never returned from their trips into the treacherous wilderness.

    ¡°Alright. You can just drop me off at the junction!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Okay. If you require more good things, remember toe find me!¡± Xue Xingfu grinned. He, too, was satisfied with this transaction.

    Qin Feng got out of the car. When he saw the crowd hurrying about, he suddenly stopped walking.

    He was at a loss, not knowing where he should be going.

    Thankfully, a few minutester, he suddenly recollected that he was supposed to return to the orphanage.

    He was not going to be a long-term resident, of course. One month after receiving the awakening injection, he would have to move out of the ce when he had reached the full age of sixteen to make room for new younger orphans.

    The orphanage was where he lived for now, and it had been a long time since hest saw the old principal.

    Qin Feng¡¯s hand curled into a tight first at that thought, his footsteps growing heavier by the second.

    Less than ten minutester, Qin Feng spotted the densely packed overpopted buildings with almost no living space between them.

    The entire atmosphere was stiffening, giving off the ominous feeling of suffocating congestion.

    But there was indeed not enough living space in Beicheng colony. Only the wealthy could afford to live in the executive neighborhoods and the high-end vis. The closer the ce to the center of the district was, the bigger it would be. Vice-versa, real estate cramped down by the square foot with the ever-increasing distance.

    COMMENT

    In all honesty, most people quietly knew that this was a sort of protective strategy.

    Those living further around the edge were the ones who were almost always at risk of dangers¡ªthey were the cannon fodders.

    Qin Feng walked into the neighborhood, hearing the high-pitched squeals of children ying. Even in a ce with insufficient sunlight, kids be kids, and they were still lively and active.

    Such was the nature of young offspring.

    But when the kids saw Qin Feng, they stoppedughing and scattered into hiding, observing Qin Feng from afar.

    Qin Feng had just ughtered an ultra beast and reeked of blood. That was not even mentioning his imposing and intimidating outfit.

    After he swiped his card at the scanner and entered the building, the kids began to whisper amongst themselves:

    ¡°Is he an orphan?¡±

    ¡°He looks really cool!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s so well dressed. Is he here to deliver something?¡±

    ¡°Do you think we get to eat meat tonight?¡±

    The prospect of a new stranger had the children drooling at the thought.

    Qin Feng had already reached a G2 tier, so with his sharper senses, he was able to hear the children¡¯s conversation.

    ¡®Dang! I forgot. I¡¯ll bring something back when I¡¯m free next time,¡¯ Qin Feng thought to himself as he ascended the stairs to a bedroom on the eighth floor.

    There were four bunk beds inside, the residence of eight people. They were not here right now.

    One of them was actually Chen Ming.

    Qin Feng looked at the time. It was already seven.

    They were all probably out training already. After all, the awakening would be one of the biggest moments in their lives.

    <h4>Chapter 13: The Old Director</h4>

    This was convenient for Qin Feng.

    It took him some thinking before he found his own bed before unpacking the necessary toiletries in the public bathhouse of the building.

    Finally, with the absence of prying eyes, he carefully took Xiaobai out of his pocket and... vo!

    The little guy was now worlds away from the frail, stuttering newborn from yesterday night.

    In the ce of the matted cakes of dirt was a fluffy, newly obtained white coat of fur. The tiny creature opened its dark eyes, and two small ears perked up!

    ¡°Wait!¡± Qin Feng touched his pocket and found that the energy core he had put inside was missing.

    He did not sell the energy core to Xue Xingfu because he was keeping for his own use.

    After fumbling about in his pockets, his hand touched something wet. Qin Feng looked at Xiaobei.

    ¡°Did you swallow the energy core?¡±

    ¡°Chirp! Chirp!¡± Xiaobai¡¯s guilty dark eyes avoided Qin Feng¡¯s gaze, which was filled with questions.

    Qin Feng found himself unable to scold the little creature. Not when those misty eyes were looking back at him so longingly.

    ¡°Forget it, as long as you¡¯re not going to be sick, go ahead!¡±

    There was a massive amount of energy stored up inside the core. Qin Feng, being its new caretaker was worried that Xiaobei¡¯s tiny body may not be able to take it, thus killing it in the process.

    ¡°Stay here for now. I¡¯ll bring you outter!¡±

    Qin Feng ced Xiaobai in a bucket. Walking into the bathhouse, he gave himself a cold shower.

    He cleaned hisbat outfit for a while, then put on a new set of clean clothes. The clothes were washed so many times they were faded and old. The homely-looking garments somewhat softened the blow of Qin Feng¡¯s fierce looks.

    Once he was done, he put Xiaobei into hisbat backpack and headed to the old director¡¯s office.

    As he stepped up the office, the heartyughter of peopleing from inside could be heard.

    ¡°Good, good, good! My only hope is that you have good prospects. There¡¯s no need to return the favor!¡± boomed a familiar voice. Qin Feng could instantly tell that it was the director.

    Lin Derong was already eighty this year and was a well-respected elder. Legends said that this old man had a hand in the construction of the Chengbei colony.

    He had been in charge of the orphanage for thirty years ¨C which was of all things, a suitable position. At least not for someone of his talents.

    But his magnanimity and kindness brought a new ray of hope into the orphanage.

    Even though it was tough being here, Qin Feng had always felt the safety and warmth of a home, something worth remembering for the remainder of his life.

    The door into the director¡¯s office was left ajar, and when Qin Feng saw the other person in the office, his smile disappeared.

    In a chair sat was Chen Ming!

    Qin Feng straightened his face, cleared his throat, then knocked on the door.

    Both Lin Derong and Chenming looked towards the sound at the same time and found Qin Feng standing at the door.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re here too, huh?¡± Lin Derong said with nonchnce as if he had already expected this. ¡°Are you also here to get the documents?¡±

    ¡°Also?¡± Qin Feng looked at Chen Ming with a raised eyebrow.

    A look of embarrassment shed across Chen Ming¡¯s face. On the surface, he and Qin Feng both shared a great rtionship. But when that attack happened yesterday, guess who ran away first. Of course, he was as guilty as sin.

    ¡°Yeah. Oh, Qin Feng, you n to move out too? Has your special ability awakened?¡± Chen Ming asked, pretending to be calm while unabashedly changing the topic.

    ¡°No!¡± Qin Feng denied with gusto. ¡°What about you, eh? Why are you moving out now?¡±

    The corners of Chen Ming¡¯s lips automatically curved into a smile.

    ¡°I came across a small team of mercenaries yesterday. They offered to take me in. So, from now on, I¡¯m a member of the team, and I can go live with them in their apartment whenever I wish to!¡±

    Apartments were different from the rooms in the orphanage ¨C a fantastic perk to have indeed.

    ¡°Yeah, Chen Ming found a pretty good team. Qin Feng, are you nning to join a team too? Why don¡¯t you ask Chen Ming to introduce you? That way, the next time, both of you can take care of each other!¡± Lin Derong said.

    The smile on Chen Ming¡¯s face froze at that. When he thought about what the mercenary team had told him yesterday, he became unnaturally stilted, obviously ufortable.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have a say in this. I still have to ask the team leader. But from what I heard, the team¡¯s already full!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled bitterly inside. Emotions aside, he would not make a person like that his brother.

    ¡°I¡¯m not looking to join any mercenary team just yet. I might be enrolling at the advanced academy!¡±

    ¡°The fee for that cees at a very high cost. If you¡¯re really interested in going, however, I can contact a few organizations, and you can sign a training contract with them. Once you¡¯ve graduated, they would guarantee you a job too. That would be better!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that, sir. I will figure it out myself!¡± Qin Feng did not want to exploit Lin Derong¡¯s kindness. On top of that, the memory of what was to happen in theing 10 years put him off thoughts of joining whatever organization.

    ¡°Alright, let me get your documents then!¡± The director got up quickly from him seat.

    Qin Feng turned to look at Chen Ming and asked casually, ¡°What happens to be the name of the team you joined?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s called Ultimate Team!¡± Chen Ming looked rmed, but he knew that there was no point in lying to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Mm, a good name!¡± Qin Feng muttered under his breath, the welling anger within him stiffening his veins.

    In his previous life, after he managed to escape theboratory by the skin of his teeth, barely returning to Beicheng colony. With Zhou Hao dead and no one to rely on, Qin Feng returned to the orphanage. When Chen Ming returned and saw that his wounded friend had recovered, he had this strange look on this face. Then he walked out and made a call.

    Until today, Qin Feng could still hear so clearly, the words that came out of Chen Ming¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°Team leader, didn¡¯t you capture Qin Feng for experimentation? Why is he still alive? Yes, he¡¯s here in the orphanage. Alright. Okay... I¡¯ll figure out a way to keep him here. Hurry!!! get here quickly...¡±

    One could only imagine the feeling of betrayal and disbelief that was in Qin Feng¡¯s mind at that moment. He was enraged. To the ends of the earth.

    But he was still in the process of recovering and was too weak to fight Chen Ming. So, that same night, he escaped and left Chengyang.

    That team leader Chen Ming called was a member of the illegalboratory. This Ultimate Team also belonged to the anti-human alliance, a covert operative having hidden spies in the colony.

    ¡®It seems that Chen Ming still doesn¡¯t know the truth about this mercenary team. But he should probably know in less than a month! But not only would he not keep my secret, but he will also want to kill me again! People like that are the scariest. We¡¯ve been friends for so many years! That¡¯s why I must never let him know about my awakening!¡¯ Qin Feng thought to himself.

    It was not only him who must never know. If Zhou Hao¡¯s abilities were also awakened, he would also be a target. Now that Qin Feng had changed Zhou Hao¡¯s fate, he had to help Zhou Hao withhold this information. Qin Feng could not allow his own true brother to suffer his ill-fortune.

    ¡°Done! Here you go!¡± Lin Derong handed the organization¡¯s information to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Thank you, sir. I wille see you in a couple of days!¡± Qin Feng said. Of course, he did not utter those words in politeness ¨C he had toe back to see the old director because that day was the fateful day Lin Derong had an ident.

 Chapter 14: Runes Absorption

    <h4>Chapter 14: Runes Absorption</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    That was also one of the reasons why Chen Ming returned to the orphanage.

    Chen Ming might have been envious of Qin Feng and had developed a deep-seated dislike for his childhood friend, but he would never disregard the old director Lin Derong.

    However, so it would also appear that Qin Feng was destined to be in opposition with Chen Ming in this lifetime.

    Whether it was the torment Qin Feng had suffered in the previous life or from a terrorist group like this, neither of them should have even existed in this world.

    Once he was done with all the procedures, Qin Feng packed a piece of barren and worn luggage, which consisted of three sets of clothing before leaving the orphanage.

    This time, he really had nowhere to go.

    But as long as he had money, there was nothing for him to worry about anything wherever he went. He mulled over the issue for a while before deciding to check into a hotel on Chengbei¡¯s fifth street, which had pretty good security and a pleasant environment.

    The charge per day was 200, quite pricey, but value for money in that economy.

    Comfort levels here were like heaven and hell inparison to the orphanage. He had booked a spacious room with a cozy double bed, a private toilet, a kitchen, and a minibar. They even included a multifunction training machine with small testing instruments.

    This room was predominantly set up for ability users, and since he had just awakened, these small perks were only a necessity.

    If he went to those specialized training facilities that were even more well-equipped, who¡¯s to say he won¡¯t be splurging even more for those.

    Settling in, he gently pulled out his little pet.

    ¡°Go out and y on your own. But remember, if you need to poop or pee, go to the toilet. I know you understand what I¡¯m saying!¡± Qin Feng ced Xiaobai on the floor, letting the little thing roam free around the room.

    Xiaobai did a little dance ¨C like a curious toddler, everything around it was new and exciting!

    Qin Feng took out hismunicator and punched in Zhou Hao¡¯s number.

    ¡°Qin Feng, how has your training been? I¡¯ve already used a strengthening potion. I feel like I can reach 80 in Attack now!¡±

    Qin Feng was both surprised and uninspired at the same time.

    ¡°Not bad, continue to work hard! Remember to learn about meditation!¡±

    ¡°Mm, but it¡¯s so dull!¡± squirmed Zhou Hao, being the kind of person that could never sit still!

    ¡°Ability users are slightly stronger than ancient warriors. Oh, by the way, if your abilities have awakened, remember not to go around telling other people about it. I heard from Xue, our team captain, that some from the anti-humans have prated the colony and might be targeting those just awakened!¡±

    This was the lie that Qin Feng had been mulling over.

    ¡°What?¡± Zhou Hao sounded terrified. ¡°The colony has been having such bad lucktely. Sigh, do you think that someone sabotaged the spatial stabilizer?¡±

    ¡°...maybe!¡±

    ¡°Then, don¡¯t go to school anymore. Come stay at my house. I¡¯ll bring you to the training facility, okay?!¡±

    Zhou Hao¡¯s father worked in a training facility. Having the perks of an employee, he could train on any machine and get advice from elects without having to pay anything.

    ¡°No, the machines in the orphanage are enough. Take good care of yourself! See you in a month¡¯s time!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡± Zhou Hao insisted no further as he knew how highly Qin Feng held himself.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, was simply relieved that he had managed to warn his friend.

    After hanging up, Qin Feng immediately tried out the testing instrument.

    With both feet nted securely on the ground, waist rotated, and arms swinging, Qin Feng threw a solid punch at the machine.

    Bam!

    The spring-loaded device in the machine specially designed to withstand punches dented inwards, prompting a frantic jump in the numbers on the screen.

    [Current attack test data: 1213]

    ¡°Phew!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s stiffened biceps rxed.

    His physique was 15 times that of Zhou Hao¡¯s, but regardless, Zhou Hao was still very talented.

    The federation had stipted that in the aptitude test, the rating of an average person under the age of sixteen who had not been injected with the awakening potion was around 10 Attack.

    There were some differences between males and females, but through consistent training and hard work, they were bound to be better than those who were talented but were untrained.

    In middle school, Qin Feng, Zhou Hao, and Chen Ming were some of the most talented students, and each one alone could reach around 20 Attack.

    This meant that the three of them were twice as good atbat as other people ¨C not in a one-versus-two, but in a one-versus-ten scenario, Qin Feng alone could beat all his peers of the same age without breaking a sweat.

    After the injection, the average result for both males and females was at least 50.

    In a month¡¯s time, once they¡¯d reached 100, they would be qualified gunners.

    Ancient warriors, on the other hand, had to have their meridians examined by highly specific instruments and were obliged to practice neigong. Only then, would their qualification to be an Ancient Warrior be determined.

    Ability users were very different from these two categories of people.

    Once their element cores were awakened, even if the person¡¯s Attack was a pathetic 10, he or she would still be considered an ability user.

    ¡°Let¡¯s give mediation a try! Hmm, I¡¯m not sure if that neigong of mine still exists!¡± Qin Feng thought. He could not help but feel excited. But this was not the time.

    Qin Feng used hismunicator to get into the alliancework, which was also the battle. He signed in using his ID, then downloaded the meditation skill. Of course, he didn¡¯t leave out the beginner-level Neigong training technique, although, in the previous life, his neigong had already reached Rank C, and his Ancient Warrior¡¯s badge had reached B3 tier as well.

    Qin Feng sat crossed-legged on the floor, quietened his mind, and concentrated his consciousness until there was nothing but engulfing darkness. There, the diamond reappeared.

    Ability core!

    Qin Feng controlled the ability core with his consciousness, and slowly, the whole thing began to spin.

    Sess!

    Only people whose abilities had not been awakened would think that meditation was gibberish ¨C which was why Zhou Hao was so reluctant to brush up his meditation skills. His ability was not awakened yet and was naturally unable to appreciate its wonders.

    As the ability core spun around on its axis, strange little grey specks began to appear in the darkness.

    These little dots were actually mystic symbols ¨C the element runes.

    The ability core drew the runes into the. As these sigils multiplied, the ability user would have more abilities.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was still fragile. After 10 minutes, he had only managed to collect around ten of the grey element runes. To make matters worse, they looked like they were useless.

    ¡°Phew!¡±

    He came around with a jolt, emerging from the exhausting trance. This time was drained him even more than thest. Qin Feng crashed, his mind shutting downpletely, and he fell into a deep slumber. At least, the hotel was safe.

    When Xiaobai, who had been ying on its own, saw Qin Feng climbing into bed, it jumped up to join him.

    Even though it was only a one-day-old, it already possessed a shocking level of control and speed. One could only imagine the full potential this creature possessed within it.

    Qin Feng only slept for two hours, continuing his silent meditation afterward. He only had one meal in between.

    He was extremely curious about his abilities with revenge, his motivation.

    <h4>Chapter 15: Night Vision</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Night fell, and the Chengbei colony was alight with the glow of bright, beautifulnterns.

    Qin Feng was meditating in the hotel room.

    ¡°What in the world? Why are the runes moving faster and faster?¡± he gasped in surprise.

    This time, a lot more runes were flying around in the darkness. They were very different from the grey ones he saw earlier and way, way faster than before.

    Having spent the entire day training, his consciousness had improved quite a bit. Instead of meditating for only ten minutes, his sessions had now extended to fifteen minutes.

    Although it was a mere five-minute increase, it allowed Qin Feng to collect some 100 element runes.

    When he finally cracked open his eyes, the world around him looked entirely different.

    ¡°It¡¯s already dark outside!¡±

    Despite the fact that the lights in the room were switched off, everything appeared to his eyes in sharp vividness and exceptional detail.

    This had always been an ability of Qin Feng¡¯s, but it had never been this crystal clear before.

    ¡°Night vision!¡±

    Not only was he able to see things clearly, but if an enemy did appear out of nowhere in the darkness, it was no problem for Qin Feng as he could also sense every tiny movement around him.

    Even if he could not see up to 30 meters around him, he could still visualize his surroundings with his mind. It was as if he had darkness itself under his control.

    ¡°Are my meditation skills weak in the day because I have a dark ability?¡±

    This very moment, Qin Feng felt like he had been blinded by his own happiness thest time.

    Despite his confusion, he did not rest, nor did he continue his practice.

    He put on hisbat uniform, slung his weapon, put on a hat, andstly, a mask that obscured his face. Before he left, he slipped Xiaobai into his front chest pocket.

    As the night approached, the sounds of the colony grew softer and fainter.

    With the growing number of tribes of all kinds, chaos could break out anytime in the colony, and if ending up dead in the drain the next morning wasn¡¯t the preferred way to go, one without skill should really not be going out.

    After he had walked past a few barren streets, the all too familiar buzz of human activity bustled the surroundings. The world suddenly became crowded again.

    Third Street, known by the locals as themercial street, was the busiest at this hour. Stalls were set up everywhere along the road, selling all kinds of goods. The path would lead to the most important area, the za at the center of it all.

    Large canvas tents wereid out on the za. Fresh supplies, coupled with a mix of interesting memorabilia, were traded there. Instead of checking out the items one by one, he now possessed the ability to analyze all objects 30 meters around him, saving him a lot of time and trouble.

    Suddenly, without exnation, Qin Feng¡¯s heart pounded a little harder. He found himself walking towards a stall operated by an elderly man.

    ¡°How much is this?¡± asked Qin Feng as he picked up a pendant made out of ck jade.

    With his night vision, he could see that the ck jade pendant was infused with the goddess Guan Yin. There was a smile on the Guanyin¡¯s face. However, her smile rather weirdpared to her usual lovely smile.

    ¡°This is an ancient martial art assistance item. It can gather Spirit Qi from your surroundings to enhance the training speed of your Neigong. This is one precious item, I tell you!¡± said the old man in a convincing vibe.

    Hyperbole aside, what the old man said was true, but certainly, no where near as magnificent as he imed it was.

    ¡°Nonsense! Why else would I ask if I didn¡¯t know what this thing is for?¡± Qin Feng growled while asserting aggression.

    The smile on the old man¡¯s face started to grow obvious, satisfied that his confidence-inducing bber had managed to trigger a reaction.

    ¡°Yes, yes. You have a very good eye, boss! Very good indeed!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded slowly, pretending to look pleased. ¡°How much?¡±

    The old man¡¯s eyes glimmered. ¡°300,000!¡±

    Qin Feng put the thing down immediately, a frosty smile on his lips. ¡°That is a ridiculous price! Aren¡¯t you afraid of dying?¡±

    The old man looked a little rmed as he gave Qin Feng a once over. Even though there was no symbol of an ability user on his chest, thebat outfit he was wearing looked way more sophisticated than what he would usuallye across. Also, the intense energy exuding from him terrified the old man.

    Qin Feng did not possess the aura of a powerful Ancient Warrior, but he sure had this unmistakable ruthless savagery that had slowly gripped his soul through his years venturing into the relentless wilderness.

    Realizing that the young man was not a fat goat but an iron te instead, the old man quickly regretted his words.

    ¡°One vial of F-tier strengthening potion. Deal?¡± Qin Feng said.

    His intense hunger for murder still directed towards the old man as sending an unspoken warning. He would know what wasing for him if he didn¡¯tplete the transaction.

    Moreover, F-tier strengthening potions were now at his desired buying price.

    The old man nodded profusely. ¡°Yes! Sold, sold, sold!¡±

    Qin Feng picked up the ck Guan Yin medallion, threw a vial on the table, and left without looking back.

    As he strolled around to visit the other stalls, no one was the wiser about how excited Qin Feng was to have gotten his hands on this unusual ck Guan Yin pendant. So, in order to avoid raising any suspicions, he lingered for a while longer.

    ¡°Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!¡±

    Qin Feng touched his chest pocket. ¡°What is it?¡±

    Xiaobai was scratching the left side of his pocket.

    Qin Feng turned to the left and walked, and Xiaobai¡¯s scratches were suddenly directed to the front. It wagged its tiny tail, pattering it excitedly against Qin Feng¡¯s chest.

    Qin Feng looked in front of him and saw three energy coresid out at the stall.

    ¡°You¡¯re not thinking of eating these again, are you?!¡± Qin Feng may be grumbling, but he knew that Xiaobai had an ultimately limitless potential. Even though they did not have any sort of settlement between them, it had already proven itself to be an extremely wise and loyal helper. Naturally, Qin Feng would not neglect the little creature.

    Sometimes, perhaps more than once, beasts were more trustworthy than humans.

    ¡°Two F-tier strengthening potions for three of these energy cores. Deal?¡± Qin Feng asked the seller directly.

    Unlike Qin Feng, to most people, energy cores were deemed extremely valuable, but as they were purification items, their absorption was not as pure as F-tier energy cores considering theycked the absorption ability.

    ¡°Sure!¡± The seller answered eagerly, handing over the three energy cores to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not dare give them to Xiaobai now, so he ced them in his other pocket. Xiaobai did not pester him either, as if knowing that its next meal was already taken care of. Qin Feng started to rx, thanks to Xiaobai¡¯s badgering, and he went on a shopping spree. The more he looked around, the more he realized that there were quite a few things that he would have use for.

    ¡®Murkweed? This can be crushed and applied to the body, which gives out some sort of camouge effect in the dark. It¡¯ll be great when I need to escape, but there are dark runes on them!¡¯ he thought to himself.

    ¡®ck bat skin? This is not bad, either. Sadly, there¡¯re only three pieces!

    ¡®This is... a dark element core. No, I cannot buy this. It would be too obvious!¡¯

 Chapter 16: Asteroid Assimilation

    <h4>Chapter 16: Asteroid Assimtion</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng carefully and meticulously analyzed everything, electing only to buy those that were inconspicuous ¨C he wanted to keep his identity of a dark ability user well hidden.

    Once the strengthening potions that he had with him were all traded, Qin Feng returned to the hotel with several bags of goods.

    ¡°Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!¡± Xiaobai jumped out of his pocket excitedly, wagging its tail.

    ¡°Are you a dog?¡± wondered Qin Feng as he studied the little creature carefully. It seemed to have changed a lot by now: its fur was fluffier than ever, almost doubled its size since it was born. It had dark, ebony eyes, a pointy mouth, and a shaggy tail that¡¯s unlike a dog¡¯s1.

    Yes, somehow, it bore an uncanny resemnce to the Pomeranian that Qin Feng saw back at his old alliance. It belonged to a richdy over there.

    ¡°Ah, whatever. I¡¯ll still keep you no matter what you are!¡±

    This little creature saved his life. If he could not take care of this little beast, now that he was born again, it would be nothing but a shameful waste!

    Qin Feng took out an ability core and tossed it to Xiaobai. The little creature hugged the energy core the size of a marble and started licking it vigorously. The sphere shrunk before his eyes.

    This was a shock to Qin Feng. Xiaobai was absorbing the energy core! Its potential was boundless and absolutely to be reckoned with.

    After Xiaobai had finished eating the energy core, it fell into a deep sleep. Qin Feng, on the other hand, did not rest. He took out the Guan Yin pendant and studied it.

    Ancient cultures have been continuously passed down through the generations, and here, everyone knew that Guan Yin pendants were used for protection.

    Mythical wild animals such as the Taotie and the nine sons of the dragon were expertly carved into the jet-ck jade stone, eventually weaving together to take the form of the goddess.

    Qin Feng carefully put pressure on the pendant. A loud snap followed, and a crack formed right down the middle of Guan Yin, revealing a thin mesh inside.

    ¡°It¡¯s true!¡± Even though the extremely thin mesh was finer than silk threads, it was very strong. Qin Feng gently pulled it out, and when he spread it open, it was a good 1 meter long and half a meter wide. On the scroll were small, tightly packed words.

    Its name was disyed clearly at the top: Asteroid Assimtion.

    The anti-human alliance consisted of dangerous S-ranked people. They included the Ancient Warriors and the cannibal Liu Meng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion.

    This Neigong also earned the moniker the ancient martial arts alliance called ¡®ancient martial arts¡¯ first evil cultivation method,¡¯ and was S-ranked.

    Before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, an elect like Liu Meng could stab Qin Feng to death with one finger. Other than just taking revenge on that organization, the one thing that Qin Feng wanted more than anything was to kill Liu Meng.

    If it were not for the fact that he saw Liu Meng as an enemy, how could he possibly have understood the guy?

    At around this time, before Qin Feng was reborn, Liu Meng was only an eighteen-year-old who had just graduated from the intermediate academy. Although he found out about his Ancient Warrior¡¯s physique, hisbat value was low because of all things; he was veryzy. He was also too scared toe face to face with a wild beast.

    There were several people like that in the colony ¨C the thugs and goons of the society.

    Be that as it may, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. With that, they simply needed to ckmail the average person to live a good life.

    Once, after robbing an elderly man, he found the Asteroid Assimtion¡¯s skill book among the broken goods.

    That right. That was the old man who sold Qin Feng the Guanyin pendant.

    Liu Meng found the Asteroid Assimtion skill very easy to learn. Once and for all, he could absorb other people¡¯s Neigong and make it his own. It was the ultimate skill every ability user coveted.

    Within a few days, Liu Meng targeted other people once he had gotten the hang of the skill, with one of them happening to be Liu Derong, the director of the orphanage.

    The director was also an Ancient Warrior, but at the age of eighty, he was growing weaker, not mentioning carrying with him the deep-seated problems result of umpteen years on the battlefield. He had an inner force protecting him, which was why it was not evident from the outside. The truth was, his strength had degenerated greatly through the cruel hand of time.

    Liu Meng mercilessly killed the old director in an alley and had since be a fugitive constantly on the run. Thanks to that evil cultivation method, Liu Meng was able to escape many times and eventually be tougher and more reliable.

    ¡°The Asteroid Assimtion is mine now!¡± eximed Qin Feng as his eyes shed with resentment.

    He began to read. Because he practiced meditation, his consciousness surpassed the average person, his memory astounding, allowing him tomit every single word writ on the Asteroid Assimtion to memory.

    The moment he was done, he set the silk on fire without so much as batting an eyelid.

    From today onwards, he would be the only person who knew the Asteroid Assimtion.

    ¡°This is worthy of being called the top Ancient Warrior¡¯s skill! Not only does it give absolute strength, but it alsoes with such powerful attributes!¡±

    Using the Asteroid Assimtion could multiply his strength by a factor of ten. Not only that, the Asteroid Assimtion could even absorb other people¡¯s Neigong ¨C robbed forcibly away from others to strengthen one¡¯s self.

    This was essentially like Qin Feng¡¯s ability, but the major difference being that he could not absorb energy from living beings. On top of that, the skill only allowed his energy absorption to strengthen his body, not his Neigong.

    Of course, the Asteroid Assimtion was called the number one evil cultivation method because it was of all things, very unstable.

    Eventually, the corpses of people that Liu Meng fought and killed would dry and shrivel up. Not only that, his inner force became turbulent and uncontroble ¨C leaving behind a trail of death wherever he went. It was insufferable for him as well.

    Qin Feng understood that, but the Asteroid Assimtion¡¯s amplification was also the most powerful and the best one that he knew of.

    On top of that, Qin Feng had a posttion: if he used his ability to absorb all that chaotic inner force, then could Asteroid Assimtion be the most powerful cultivation technique?

    He would have to test this theory sometimeter.

    Qin Feng crossed his legs and began to self-cultivate.

    ...

    He did not leave the hotel room for the next few days, abandoning sleep and food for the Asteroid Assimtion and meditation.

    Qin Feng ced his palms together, facing upwards, where a piece of murkweedy on them.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    The ability core came alive, and it suddenly became his second nature to use the skill.

    A dark light shed in his hands, and as the energy entered Qin Feng¡¯s body, the ck leaves of the murkweed began to wilt at high speed.

    With this surge of energy, Qin Feng could sense two to three dark runes merging with his ability core.

    ¡°It looks like I have to go out!¡± After many days of idling and using up his resources, Qin Feng, who was already running out by this time, had dried everything up after a few days of cultivation.

    Even Xiaobai¡¯s food was gone.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go out today, then drop by to see the old director on my way back!¡±

    Although Qin Feng had the Asteroid Assimtion already, a visit to the orphanage today was still on his n.

    ¡°Xiaobai! Let¡¯s go!¡± he said.

    It had only been a few days, and Xiaobai¡¯s fur had doubled in volume. Even with its puffy hair, it was about the size of the palm of an adult. This meant that although Qing Feng could still keep it in his pocket, it was no longer as spacious as it used to be!

    Taking the creature¡¯s wellbeing into consideration, Qin Feng decided to put it into his backpack.

 Chapter 17: Old Classmate

    <h4>Chapter 17: Old ssmate</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    This time, Qin Feng did not go to the wilderness terminal but traveled the routes around the city. Even so, there were also impending dangers on this trip!

    The people in the vehicle were mostlybatants among a few twig-skinny civilians.

    They headed west and soon left the central area. The surrounding streets gradually became more congested, crowded, and even began to appear dirty. It was increasingly disorderly andcking from every aspect the further they went.

    At some point, the buildings disappeared behind walls that acted as barriers. They arrived at a safe zone surrounded byrge plots of lush and green paddies. Watchtowers were erected every hundred meters, tightly guarded by gunners and their submachine guns.

    A broadcast began to y:

    ¡°Dear passengers, this is the final stop. We will soon be arriving at Chengbei¡¯s west ntation! Allbatants, please pay attention! ¨C outside the ntation, you are to hunt and kill the ultra beast. You may bring back concrete evidence of a kill from the corpses in exchange for Chinese currency. The targets for this hunt are herbivorous giant rats, onion mantis, and threadsnakes. During special seasons, if you notice any swarm of rats, please make a report in advance.¡±

    Thest announcement, however, caught the attention of thebatants.

    ¡°If you are a participant in the battle, you will be awarded the colony¡¯s honor rates, which can be exchanged for any battle machinery or potions at a transfer price!¡±

    Soon, they reached thest line of defense!

    This time, it wasn¡¯t walls that crawled all around the city, but instead, there were primitive fences built with wooden nks. Outside of the fencesy numerous traps, and there was one watchtower every hundred meters garrisoned by a countless number ofbat vehicles.

    The ntations covered a vastnd, and in the event of a threat or shifting alliances, fences were a more convenient and budget-friendly method of quickly isting a section.

    The vehicle came to a stop, and its passengers alighted.

    Bang!

    A deafening gunshot rung from far away, followed by a piercing scream!

    An angry voice shouted from the sentry tower, ¡°F*ck! Those rat bastards have been givin¡¯ us one hell of a time recently!¡±

    The guards standing on the towers had an unquestionably monotonous job. When there were no dangers, the days would just creep by slowly and uneventfully. But whenever there was any sort of disturbance, even minor ones, the guards were tasked with neutralizing the threat. The ultra beast would show up every so often, which was a nuisance to everyone.

    A soldier in a dark greenbat uniform opened the gate to let the passengers pass through.

    ¡°You! Yes, you! Go back!¡± the soldier said, pointing at someone sternly.

    Qin Feng paused for a second before realizing that the soldier was not referring to him but a girl next to him.

    She was slightly taller than he was, about 175cm, and was as thin as a bamboo shoot, not to mention a chest tter than a runway. Her growth was clearly stunted.

    Not only that, Qin Feng even recognized this person.

    Xiao Jing!

    Memories of Xiao Jing¡¯s valiant and heroic actions as captain of the army garrison shed in his mind. This would happen in a few years. She had even helped him on the battlefield. The Xiao Jing he remembered was highly esteemed andmanding. No one would have imagined her to have looked like a malnourished teen long suffering from a famine.

    ¡°Why are you asking me to go back? I can fight! I want to go out there and kill beasts!¡± Xiao Jing blurted nervously.

    ¡°You? You better just go home, have some kids, and cook their meals. Why are you fighting?¡± The soldier sniggered.

    Every day, for various reasons, plenty of people came out here to court death. After all, there was also darkness brewing within the colony. Like it or not, to be able to escape a life like this, one would have to fight their way out and be stronger.

    But not everyone could simply go out there. Women, by themselves, were valuable resources too, which was why the soldier was pressed on keeping Xiao Jing from getting herself killed.

    ¡°You! Who are you to say that women are supposed to stay at home, have kids, and cook?!¡± Xiao Jing retorted angrily.

    The soldier froze. ¡°Look at yourself! So weak and small! How are you going to fight like that?! Do you even have abat suit? Do you have weapons? Are you nning to kill the beasts with rocks? O¡¯ perhaps yer¡¯ bare hands? If you have none of that, get the hell out of here!¡±

    At the relentless mansining, Xiao Jing¡¯s face turned a brilliant red.

    She hade out here on a whim. When the soldier called her out, she suddenly felt like taking a step back. For all that was worth, she knew in her heart that she could do nothing to defend herself; it only made her more eager to enter the battlefield.

    Just as she decided to return home, a loud voice called out, ¡°I¡¯ll take her with me!¡±

    Xiao Jing froze as she turned to the direction the voice was calling. When she saw the person who had spoken, she cried, ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    The boy nodded at her, then said to the soldier, ¡°She¡¯s probably going through some hard times right now. I¡¯m her ssmate. Let me bring her with me!¡±

    Qin Feng pointed to the energy gun at his waist.

    The soldier¡¯s hardened expression softened up a little, relieved to see the energy gun and sterbat uniform.

    ¡°Go ahead then. Remember toe back alive!¡±

    The soldier stepped aside to let them through. He had mistakenly thought that Qin Feng had been awakened in the previous term. What he did not know was that both Qin Feng and Xiao Jing had only just received their awakening injections seven or eight days ago.

    Qin Feng led Xiaojing past the gate and followed the path ahead. There were a lot of traps around the area, so it would be an absurd idea to hunt there.

    ¡°Thank you so much, Qin Feng!¡± Xiao Jing said, her eyes welled with grateful tears.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me. We¡¯re old ssmates!¡± he replied, attempting tofort his friend. That was precisely what the past life¡¯s Xiao Jing had told Qin Feng. Maybe it was because his previous life was so painful that he remembered every little single bit of kindness shown to him.

    A drop of water shall be returned with a burst of spring.

    ¡°Thank you!¡± Xiao Jing was so touched by the gesture that she could hold back no further, burst into tears and sobs.

    Qin Feng kept quiet. He didn¡¯t have the slightest inkling on how to soothe her. He was a guy and had never shed a tear before even when he bled.

    Moreover, he waspletely clueless as to what had happened to her.

    In the future, she was going to be someone that people would admire most among all her ssmates.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± croaked Xiao Jing as she quickly wiped her tears away with the back of her hands and forced a smile at her ssmate.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Look. Is there something wrong?¡±

    Xiao Jing fell silent for a moment before replying, ¡°My father wanted me to get married... to a thirty-year-old man!¡±

    COMMENT

    Qin Feng fell silent again. These kinds of things were verymon, and he had grown ustomed to it, eventually turning somewhat indifferent to the questionable practice.

    As the conversation had already gone in that direction, Xiao Jing continued anyway, ¡°I have two younger brothers ¨C you know that already. Next year, the older one will be awakened too. My father is preparing some strengthening potions for him. He promised to marry me off to someone for 80,000 Chinese currency. I didn¡¯t think that there would be a man out there who would want a tomboy like me. That guy already has a twelve-year-old child! If I marry him, I¡¯ll be a stepmother! What a terrible joke.

    ¡°I asked my father to give me a month ¨C I might be an ability user or an Ancient Warrior. But they were not willing to wait. He even said that I didn¡¯t need to be anything, so long as his son-inw was great!¡±

    The more she spoke, the angrier she seemed.

    Qin Feng understood now. It was not that Xiao Jing¡¯s father did not want her to be an Ancient Warrior. He was simply afraid that he could not afford to provide for his family. Their family was so impoverished, they were almost always hungry. Right now, especially, her two brothers were growing teenagers with an appetite to match ¨C which exined why Xiao Jing was so skinny. With other mouths to feed, how could they sacrifice what little money they had just so that Xiao Jing could be an Ancient Warrior?!

    ¡°You¡¯re no tomboy, my dear! You¡¯re just toopetent!¡± Qin Feng said. ¡°If you¡¯re really serious about this, then fight and support yourself! ¨C if your father just needs 80,000 yuan, then redeem yourself! Take it that he sold his own daughter!¡±

    Xiao Jing nodded, gritting her teeth. ¡°Yeah, I want to earn money. At most, I would just die. If I do survive, I will be free when I go back!¡±

    Of course, that enthusiasm did notst long. Xiao Jing sighed. Earning money was easier said than done. Even if she prostituted herself in the red-light district, she would never earn 80,000 yuan in a month¡¯s time.

    On top of that, she was so in that no one would pay attention to her appearance!

    But when her eyes fell on Qin Feng, she began to feel a little hopeful ¨C not because she wanted to rely on him, but because Qin Feng had changed so much.

    ¡°Qin Feng, what have you been doing these few days? You seem so different. It looks like you¡¯ve gained some weight!¡±

    ¡°Am I not doing what you want to do too?¡± Qin Feng answered. Why did she use the term ¡®gain weight¡¯ rather than ¡®get stronger?¡¯

    ¡°You¡¯ve been hunting? Have... have you awakened already?¡±

    ¡°Nope!¡± Qin Feng denied calmly.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re really incredible!¡± Xiao Jing said admiringly. ¡°Maybe that¡¯s why you¡¯ve always been number one in our grade. If I had known earlier, I would¡¯ve joined even more martial arts sses!¡±

    She rarely trained her martial ats because it was very physically demanding. Her frail and underfed frame would see her would often pass out after ss.

    ¡°It¡¯s not toote to learn now!¡± Although Qin Feng had no idea what Xiao Jing was put through in his previous life, one thing was for sure. She went on to be really sessful, sharpened by the hardships of life.

    ¡®Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!¡¯ Xiaobai popped it head out of Qin Feng¡¯s backpack as if telling him to release it.

    Xiao Jing was immediately drawn to the little creature.

    ¡°What is this? It¡¯s so cute!¡± eximed the amused girl as she reached out to touch the creature.

    ¡°Growl!¡± Xiaobai barred its teeth, disying fierce hostility.

    Qin Feng was shocked by the little creature¡¯s reaction. He patted Xiaobai soothingly to calm it down. ¡°It¡¯s okay, she¡¯s a friend!¡± he said.

    Xiaobai¡¯s dark eyes were fixed on Xiao Jing as if displeased that he hade across such a weakpanion. Its attention, however, was quickly diverted.

    ¡°Chirp!¡± Xiaobai suddenly looked away, cautious, and alert.

    Again, Qin Feng was surprised. He did not expect Xiaobai to be so vignt.

    The little creature jumped out of the backpack so swiftly; it became a blurry sh of white. Qin Feng was taken aback by the sudden reaction and jumped up in caution.

    ¡°Xiaobai!¡± Qin Feng felt his body tense up. He drew his energy gun and pointed at the direction Xiaobai was heading.

    A threadsnake three meters long and as thick as his wrist slithered on the ground. Its imposing size was proof that it could swallow the tiny creature in one bite.

    Psssssh!!! The threadsnake bared its fangs and pounced at Xaiobai!

    Qin Feng pulled the trigger without even thinking.

    Swoosh!

    The energy gun unleashed a powerful ray and prated the threadsnake¡¯s head.

    But before that could happen, Xiaobai had already disappeared from the scene.

    ¡°Teleportation!¡± Qin Feng gasped when he saw the silvery glow on Xiaobai¡¯s fur, a clear sign of space elemental runes.

    Only certain special ultra beasts were space types. In fact, the space type was not part of the awakened human ability and was deemed especially valuable.

    Who knew that little Xiaobai would possess this rare ability after its awakening?!

    When Qin Feng thought back on how Xiaobai appeared in that space tunnel, however, he wondered if it had inherited this extraordinary ability from its mum.

    Was Xiaobai really a space-type ultra beast under that lock of cute fur?

    ¡°Chirp!¡± Xiaobai appeared from the space, looking very unhappy when it saw that the threadsnake was dead. It jumped around the snake, looking as if it was displeased or that the snake was too big to swallow.

    ¡°It¡¯s too dangerous!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s tone had be grave and was somewhat reprimanding.

    Immediately, Xiaobai lowered its head in guilt; its dark eyes grew misty.

    ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Qin Feng gave the little creature¡¯s forehead a rub, picked up his dagger, and went to work on the threadsnake.

    This time, he yielded quite a bit of loot. He defanged the snake, removed its venom, ced its gall in a bottle, then skinned the viper.

    ¡°Are you afraid of snakes?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    The girl¡¯s legs were trembling in palpable terror, but as Qin Feng posed the question to her, she answered stubbornly instead, ¡°No, I¡¯m not!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, looked around, then carried the threadsnake carcass in the opposite direction.

    Xiao Jing followed him, wondering what he was going to do with it.

    He sliced the snake into small sections, skewered them with his arrows, and started a fire.

    The smoldering coals produced mes as tall as a bonfire. Qin Feng set up some with twigs and branches and began roasting the snake.

    Soon, the surprisingly appetizing fragrance of roasted snakemeat wafted in the air.

    ¡°Gulp!¡± Xiao Jing swallowed. She had nothing to eat since the morning and was very visibly famished.

    ¡°Here, have some!¡± Qin Feng passed a skewer to her, moving on to roast another section of the snake. Therge threadsnake was only big enough to fill a person.

    ¡°Thank you!¡± Xiao Jing hungrily epted the food and began to gobble it down.

    ¡°Eat more. This can help improve your physique. If you want to fight, you¡¯ll need to have strength.¡±

    ¡°Mmmm! Mm!¡± muttered Xiao Jing with a mouth full of snake as she ate even more enthusiastically.

    The threadsnake¡¯s flesh was fresh, sulent, and had a great texture. When she swallowed the meat, she could feel a warmth filling up her belly. It could have been all in her imagination, but she felt her whole body strengthening soon after.

    She was still in the awakening period and had been training non-stop these few days. As a result, she had no time for proper meals. When the food hit her stomach, it was immediately broken down into energy as if to make up for the many years she had lost.

    ¡°Chirp!¡± Xiaobai cried.

    ¡°Lower your voice!¡± Qin Feng hushed, picking up his crossbow and arrows.

    Xiao Jing scanned the surroundings and saw three threadsnakes slithering towards them.

    ¡°Oh, yeah, by the way, don¡¯t roast snakemeat in the wilderness when you¡¯re alone!¡± Qin Feng reminded.

    Xiao Jing nodded in silence as she gnawed a chunk of meat off the arrow and tightened the grip around the steel.

    Then, she suddenly remembered that during a wilderness survival ss, they were told that no matter how delicious snakemeat was, they should never roast it in the wilderness. The smell could travel as far as a kilometer and was known to draw other snake species.

    How many threadsnakes were there in the ntation?

    The hairs on the back of Xiao Jing¡¯s neck stood at that thought. She looked at Qin Feng, thinking that he must have lost his mind.

    Qin Feng had not lost his mind, of course.

    The nearby wilderness around Chengbei was only half a safe zone, and it was difficult to hunt in this area. So, Qin Feng had resorted to using the simplest method to draw out his prey.

    Also, he wanted to try out the Asteroid Assimtion¡¯s power.

    Threadsnakes were actually not easy to kill. But no matter how strong they were, they were unable to evade Qin Feng¡¯s deadly urate shots.

    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

    Qin Feng pressed firmly on the crossbow¡¯s trigger sending an arrow flying, piercing a viper in the head.

    The threadsnake struggled but soon slowed to a stop.

    Qin Feng continued like an angry cannon, shooting out arrows with great speed and managing to kill another two more.

    Xiao Jing quietly watched Qin Feng in awe and fear.

    Qin Feng pulled out the dagger in his boots and tossed it to her.

    ¡°Take this, cut them up as I did just now, and collect the parts!¡±

    ¡°Mmm!¡± eximed Xiao Jing in embarrassment, seeing that the piece of steel that she used earlier was a joke. She grabbed the dagger and waited for the three snakes to stop twitching before dragging them to a pile and cutting them open.

    Xiao Jing was one capable girl. Even though she had never killed snakes before, she was a good cook.

    ¡°These things are just our food. Nothing else, just food!¡± she coaxed herself, seeing the amount of blood on her hands.

    Qin Feng looked at her in encouragement and nodded approvingly, then turned his attention towards the iing danger.

    ¡°Chirp! Chirp!¡± Xiaobai called out again, an impending warning of something scary.

    Again, it was more threadsnakes. Their eyes were murderous, provoked by the whiff of fresh blood of their kin. When the snakes spotted Qin Feng, they immediately jumped at him!

    Even though Qin Feng was fast, he soon found himself surrounded by the serpents.

    Checking his ammunition, he did not have many arrows left¡ªonly about thirty.

    Gradually, there were more and more of them, and Qin Feng could not kill them fast enough with just a bow and a bunch of arrows.

    ¡°What should we do now, Qin Feng? Should we retreat?¡± Xiao Jing could barely keep up with the iing loot. But she had already collected quite a lot at this point.

    Qin Feng did not answer her and just threw the crossbow to the ground.

    Right now, within his line of sight, there were eight threadsnakes.

    Qin Feng¡¯s dantian had been strengthened; after a few days of cultivating, his inner force had increased by one thread.

    He had been cultivating the Asteroid Assimtion in the prescribed order by first absorbing heaven and earth spirit aura. The speed was also simr to an A-tier skillset. It was definitely not as fast as absorbing others¡¯ inner force.

    Qin Feng threw out an invisible hand made of pure energy.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion Palm!¡±

    The threadsnakes were pushed off the ground, lifted into the air by an invisible force.

    This, however, was not the most crucial part, as the skill could also create a pulling force and repelling force at the same time. These two forces could be used to defeat a creature with ease.

    Qin Feng swung his palm in a pping motion, and eight threadsnakes were sucked off the ground. As the palm passed them by, all the threadsnakes exploded at the same time!

    The entire ground was painted red in blood.

    Xiao Jing was dumbfounded at the gruesome sight, not knowing how she should react.

    As quickly as he could, Qin Feng absorbed the energy from the snakes, increasing his strength and speed by double.

    ¡°My absorption skill is going to be a benefit to this skill!¡± said a happy Qin Feng, sounding a lot more confident than he did.

    As the skies darkened, no other snakes appeared to attack.

    ¡°Pack up and get ready to leave!¡± Qin Feng knew that this meant that the threadsnakes within a one-kilometer radius had been cleared.

    Xiao Jing¡¯s face was glowing as she began to pack everything up.

    They had roughly killed about 43 threadsnakes. With their skins stacked, it filled up Qin Feng¡¯s pockets, and hisbat backpack was crammed with galldders and fangs. As for the meat, Qin Feng was not going to bring any of it back.

    ¡°This is your share!¡± Qin Feng gave Xiao Jing three snakes worth of materials.

    She was taken aback for a moment but did not refuse him. ¡°How much could these be exchanged for?¡±

    Qin Feng calcted for a moment before concluding, ¡°Around 10,000!¡±

    At that, Xiao Jing¡¯s eyes widened like two golfballs!

    That meant that if she tagged along with Qin Feng for eight days, she stood to earn up to 80,000!

    ¡°Are youing tomorrow?¡± Xiao Jing suddenly realized that she was crude, but still, she asked anyway.

    ¡°Of course you are! We¡¯ll set up a tent in the ntation today. It¡¯ll be inconvenient to have to walk all the way back. Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng picked up the backpack filled with snake parts and carried a smallbat backpack in his hand. Xiaobai jumped back inside and then kicked at the bottles, unhappily pouting itself away.

    ¡°Chirp! Chirp!¡± Xiaobei leaped out, looking annoyed and jumped onto Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder.

    Seeing his buddy in distress, Qin Feng patted Xiaobai endearingly.

    ¡°Remember to go back insideter. We don¡¯t want other people to see you.¡±

    ¡°Chirp!¡±

    Qin Feng started to walk.

    Xiao Jing looked at the bloody battlefield and called out, ¡°Qin Feng! What about this meat? We¡¯re not taking them?¡±

    ¡°They¡¯re too heavy!¡± They were not even a team, and yet, they had managed to yield loot arge group would struggle to obtain. While other people had trouble of not having enough to go around themselves, Qin Feng had so much that he could not take them all.

    Xiao Jing looked at all the meat. To her, she saw wasted profit! All these were money!

    In the colony, low ranking people could not afford to eat high-quality gourmet like that. One single threadsnake could cost up to 2,000 Chinese currency, Xiao Jing¡¯s parentsbined sry for one month.

    Xiao Jing clenched her jaw and stuffed one big threadsnake into her own backpack, enough to fill up herrge-ish backpack.

    Then she picked up two more, which she draped around her neck, ignoring the blood and filth.

    Surprisingly, Qin Feng did not warn her but instead allowed her to do as she pleased.

    He walked ahead of her with ease as the things he carried were rather light. In less than 10 minutes, Xiao Jing¡¯s breathing had turned into an asthmatic wheeze, and the strength in her body was rapidly draining.

    But she did notin. Huffing and puffing, she continued to soldier forward, never once asking Qin Feng for assistance.

    After around fifteen minutes, she was starting to feel faint. Her muscles ached, and her stomach growled. She was all but hungry again.

    ¡°Hang in there. Just a little bit longer,¡± Xiao Jing said to herself, as she took a bite of the raw snake meat and swallowed. Thankfully, despite the putrid taste in her mouth, her stomach warmed up, and she felt energized.

    Qin Wei stared at Xiao Jing, a little shocked.

    He had not realized that her Ancient Warrior disposition had been awakened.

    The awakening injections would awaken its user¡¯s constitutions by increasing physical strength, speed, and many other external characteristics.

    The chances of this happening were much higher than the awakening of ability users, but also just as rare ¨C about a 1 in 10 chance.

    In his previous life, Qin Feng met Xiao Jing only once, and he did not understand her at that time. Right now, he had a rough idea of how Xiao Jing bottomed out.

    ¡°Eat more. Stay strong!¡± Qin Feng cut out a piece of meat with his dagger attempting to make it easier for her.

    ¡°I... I feel like I have so much more energy!¡± Xiao Jing was a little puzzled but persuaded by Qin Feng¡¯s gentle voice; she continued to chomp down on the snake. Taking inrge bites and ignoring the disgusting raw taste and chewy texture of the reptile, her stomach absorbed all that energy like a bottomless pit.

    ¡°You¡¯ve awakened!¡± Qin Feng smiled.

 Chapter 20: Bonding With Xiaobai

    <h4>Chapter 20: Bonding With Xiaobai</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Xiao Jing¡¯s awakening was natural ¨C derived from pure luck with no exnation whatsoever.

    Zhou Hao was still training at home, and even with the G-tier strengthening potion, his constitution only increased by a little. It had not yet awakened into an Ancient Warrior¡¯s.

    ¡°I... I¡¯ve awakened?¡±

    Xiao Jing never imagined that her scrawny frame could lug around 60 kg of threadsnakes with ease.

    ¡°I¡¯ve awakened. I really have... awakened,¡± she cried as tears trickled down her overjoyed eyes.

    Being awakened meant that she was confident that she could win more battles in the future.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s getting dark!¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡±

    The pair quickened their footsteps. Xiao Jing chewed on snake meat as she walked, replenishing and rejuvenating her as she went along. By the time they reached the assembly point, Xiao Jing was calm andpletely rxed.

    When the soldier on duty saw the both of them, he was surprised, even more so when he saw Xiao Jing.

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    Xiao Jing raised her chin, deliberately slowing down as she walked, shifting the snake meat slung on her shoulder as if to show off.

    After the initial shock had passed, the soldier gave her a small smile. He refrained from making anyments, whistling away as he turned his focus on the assembly.

    Xiao Jing scoffed, her efforts to impress fruitless.

    Night was approaching, and most of thebatants had returned. Some, though, would be spending the night in the wilderness.

    ¡°Close the gate!¡±

    ¡°Yes, captain!¡±

    ¡°Gather round!¡±

    Boots ttered as the soldiers shuffled into position.

    ¡°He¡¯s their captain?¡± Xiao Jing stared at the smug, nose-ring soldier givingmands.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng called out to her, leading her to a purchasing station.

    Because the snakes they killed were the on the list of special species that the colony had singled out, there was an additional reward of 1,000 yuan for each. That all added up to 40,000 yuan. Combined with the price of the materials, Qin Feng earned a total of 240,000 yuan.

    In the previous life, Qin Feng had managed to achieve a Rank-A Ancient Warrior status. He would hunt and killrge animals, which quickly earned him a few billion yuan. Today¡¯s earnings were just small numbers to him, but to Xiao Jing, this was a brave, new, and exciting world.

    Her three materials earned her a healthy 18,000 yuan, and after selling two slices of snake meat, she gained 4,000 more.

    ¡°Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve said enough thank yous for today!¡± Qin Feng found it a little awkward. He wanted to repay her kindness, but was instead left with her feeling indebted.

    ¡°Let me cook us something as payment for the opportunity you¡¯ve given me,¡± she said shyly. Xiao Jing was not the kind to make empty promises. She employed her culinary skills and cooked up a delicious meal of the snakemeat, one which Qin Feng could not stop praising after he had a bite.

    Additionally, Xiao Jing even got a bowl of warm snakemeat to bribe the captain in the hopes he would lend them a vehicle. As long as they did not lose it, they did not need to spend a single penny on transports.

    Of course, no one would dare steal an army vehicle!

    Qin Feng secretly found himself impressed by Xiao Jing¡¯s streetwise stint!

    Night had fallen, and the ntations were done for the day. As the peasants left for home, the buzzing of machinery had been reced with a session of intense bragging by soldiers over theirbat skills. Someined about their yield today, whereas some of the teams were awfully quiet. These ones had clearly lost a lot in today¡¯s fight.

    The soldiers did not rest but continued their training and went about their drills. Upon seeing the activity, Xiao Jing joined in with excitement.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, rested in the tent. Well, he said he was going to rest, but in reality, he secretly wanted to meditate and cultivate the Asteroid Assimtion skill.

    Before that could happen, though, there was something else he needed to do first.

    Xiaobai was jumping around inside the rather small tent, intrigued by everything in its new surroundings.

    ¡°Xiaobai! Stop moving around!¡± scolded Qin Feng as he gently held onto Xiaobai.

    The creature looked at Qin Feng with quizzical ssy eyes.

    Qin Feng looked a little hesitant. He wanted to wait until Xiaobai was a little older and stronger before the bond, but Xiaobai¡¯s skills had him thinking that it was better to get it done now.

    Space ability was not one of the top ten abilities. It was too arcane, the root of all destruction, yet gave people a mysterious and mythical hope!

    ¡°You¡¯ll be following me next time. I won¡¯t treat you as a ve. We are partners forever!¡±

    In the previous life, by a freakbination of events, Xiaobai saved Qin Feng¡¯s life. He was not about to let the loyal beast sacrifice its life for him again. As long as he was alive, he vowed to himself that he would never abandon Xiaobai.

    All that backstabbing would not distort him nor make him cynical and embittered.

    He was not a saint; neither was he a cold-blooded man.

    ¡°Please. Don¡¯t refuse. I won¡¯t hurt you!¡±

    Qin Feng bit his tongue, which sent a sharp pain shooting through his mouth. Then he focused his consciousness, and soon, the blood floated subconsciously towards Xiaobai.

    Xiaobai stared curiously at the blood, cocking its head to one side.

    The drop of blood was drawing closer Xiaobai followed it with its eyes. This caused its eyes to cross each other, making it look more adorable than ever!

    The cross-eyed creature nearly made Qin Fengugh out loud.

    The blood entered through Xiaobai¡¯s brows, and Qin Feng could sense that he had made contact with Xiaobai¡¯s soul.

    Then, from the head, the drop of blood descended, entering its soul, thereby forming a bond.

    Xiaobai made no protests throughout the entire process. It behaved exceptionally well. Thankfully.

    Perhaps, it somehow knew that Qin Feng would never hurt it.

    Once the bond waspleted, Qin Feng felt a great understanding of Xiaobai flood through his heart.

    He was also relieved to find out that Xiaobai was not a dog, but an obscure species of fox called a silver fox.

    It had the solid bloodline of a nine-tailed fox. What¡¯s more, being a silver fox meant that it was extremely rare and could control space.

    Qin Feng could also sense that Xiaobai had its own little private space measuring one square meter. Thepartment was very stable and could store items. It was in all another way, a personal space receptacle.

    Having that space increased Xiaobai¡¯s value exponentially, and if people knew about this, they would, without a doubt, fight over it.

    ¡°Next time, try not to use your space ability. You¡¯re still young. You have to protect yourself!¡±

    Qin Feng nudged Xiaobai¡¯s forehead. Perhaps it was because of the bond that Xiaobai¡¯s dependence on Qin Feng became even more prominent. Qin Feng could also sense a part of Xiaobai¡¯s thoughts and feelings.

    ¡°Chirp!¡± Xiaobai answered. Everything was strange and new to it, and therefore, Qin Feng¡¯s words were teachings that it would never vite.

    Qin Feng ruffled its fur and then sat down with crossed legs. Getting in a lotus position, he started cultivating his meditation and Asteroid Assimtion.

    In the following days, Qin Feng and Xiao Jing went hunting. Because Xiao Jing¡¯s abilities had been awakened, she was no longer just collecting materials, but also joining the fight.

    Even though they were in constant danger, Xiao Jing had proven herself capable of handling sticky situations. For that, she nearly had a hole punctured through her calf and earned herself more than a few scratches and bruises.

    Those injuries, however, were nothing for in a matter of days, Xiao Jing had managed to umte upwards of 80,000 yuan. She did not keep the money but instead exchanged for abat suit and a sword. Even though she still did not have the support of an Ancient Warrior¡¯s inner force, she was undoubtedly ferocious and brave.

    Many people in the ntations were envious of Qin Feng¡¯s and Xiao Jing¡¯s grand yields. But after seeing how the both of them fought on the battlefield, they acknowledged defeat and stepped aside in the face of superior strength.

    Those two fought with their lives.

    Of course, what those people did not know was that to Qin Feng, that was all just child¡¯s y.

 Chapter 21: Ambush

    <h4>Chapter 21: Ambush</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    The power coursing through Qin Feng¡¯s veins had reached a G3 tier. However, Asteroid Assimtion allowed him toe up with an attack that was ten times more powerful than whatever his current strength was. Those threadsnakes? Those were not worthy of being his opponents.

    As Xiao Jing awakened, the power in her body started to snowball. When it came to speed, reflex, andbat experience, Xiao Jing was still rtively weaker than Qin Feng. However, she was more than powerful enough to hunt ancient beasts on her own.

    Listening to Qin Feng left Xiao Jing slightly shocked1. But then again, she was by no means greedy. After seeing around 30 threadsnake bodies on the ground, she simply nodded her head and said, ¡°Fine!¡±

    Xiao Jing took out a few ropes and tied the reptiles together, dragging them alongside with her. Qin Feng did the same as well. With the army truck that they borrowed from the military, it was unnecessary for the two of them to dissect the corpses right here right now. All they needed to do was to bring them back to the base.

    Squeal!!!

    Suddenly, just as they were about 100 meters from the truck, Qin Feng prepared himself to go intobat mode.

    Xiaobai squeaked, its voice clearly filled with anger and murderous rage. Immediately, Qin Feng put down the threadsnakes andbat backpack.

    ¡°What is going on?!¡± asked Xiao Jing.

    ¡°Just wait here. Don¡¯t follow me!¡± replied Qin Feng harshly before disappearing into the woods.

    To put it in a better way, Qin Feng had transformed into a blurry, greyish figure, hidden within the shadows of trees and stones. He was now invisible to others. Even Xiao Jing hadn¡¯t the slightest on Qin Feng could turn utterly invisible to her in a matter of seconds!

    This devilishly amazing feat It was the second ability from grey element runes that Qin Feng absorbed earlier. With lightning speed, Qin Feng dashed hundreds of meters and almost instantly reemerging at a spot near the rear of the truck. Just like expected, there were people stalking him in the bushes. He even spotted an assassin with a sniper rifle taking aim.

    Under the cloak of invisibility, Qin Feng managed to approach one of the men. Clearly bored of all the waiting and theck of action, he pulled out hismunication device trying to contact his allies.

    ¡°Boss! How long do we need to wait? Why haven¡¯t the two targets appeared yet?¡±

    It would seem that someone else, someone up the ranks, was waiting to ambush them! Looking around suspiciously and making sure that there were no eavesdroppers, the man lying in the bush turned up the volume of his device instead of changing it to reading mode.

    ¡°It¡¯s going to rain today. I¡¯m pretty sure that our two targets wille back soon. I consider our luck pretty good so far! Hehe! I can¡¯t believe that the targets are going toe to us!¡±

    The voice filled with greed confirmed Qin Feng¡¯s suspicions that all those people rummaging through the bushes were indeed here to attack him.

    Were they here to rob or kill? This was the only question that lingered on his mind. Straightening up his shoulders, he came to a resolution. No matter what, he would never allow them to capture him. Never.

    ¡°Boss, I don¡¯t think this whole thing is a good idea. Recently, the two of them had made a name for themselves at the gathering ground! Especially the woman! She is kind of close to Li Wen!¡±

    Li Wen was the military captain of the ntation.

    ¡°Our two targets are just punks with no special abilities whatsoever! We don¡¯t have to bear any responsibility! We can just toss them deep into the woods after we kill them! No one would find out!¡±

    ¡°Yeah. That¡¯s right! I¡¯m not too pleased about them getting so much battle loot every bloody day! And here, we have to risk our lives to get our hands on just a few quality weapons! Unfair, is what it is!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m so going to choke them to death and get myself an F-tier Neigong!¡±

    A few of them had already started thinking about ways to use the reward of killing Qin Feng and Xiao Jing. And that had gotten Qin Feng a lot more furious. However, not letting his anger get the best of him, he restrained himself, helping him to stay invisible.

    Instead, he stealthily crept his way to the sniper that was furthest from him. Considering the protective qualities of his special ability, a low-tier gun like that would not cause too much harm to him. These powers, however, did not apply Xiao Jing. One bullet from a well-aimed sniper could definitely maim and cause fatal injuries.

    With a fine gun, a gunner could perform extremely well even though the person might be weak in terms of power. Qin Feng could guess that this sniper was the mysterious, greed-overflowing person that spoke over themunication device earlier.

    Swoosh!

    Qin Feng leaped onto a nearby tree, jumping over the sniper from his back and instantly gagging his mouth!

    Mmrhmh!!!

    In defense and sheer shock, the sniper started to struggle wildly. He had not expected an ambush, something that had cost him very dearly.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng used his other than to snap his neck. And just like that, the sniper was eliminated. The best part was, the guys lying in the bush had no idea their trump card was dead. Qin Feng gingerly ced the motionless body beside him, picking up the sniper and utilizing its scope to scan his surroundings. As he shook his head, a sly, cunning smirk appeared on his face.

    Qin Feng was standing at the perfect vantage point. Not only could the deceased sniper see the spot where Qin Feng and Xiao Jing stood but had also managed to keep an eye on his allies. He could provide support to them whenever he wanted.

    Right now, these four people had be target practice for Qin Feng. Soon, he found his first. Amongst the four of them, two of them were gunners. Having no second thoughts, he knew these had to die first.

    BAM!

    Headshot!

    The back of the gunner¡¯s head was blown open on impact with the round, raining around him a mist of blown brains and matter.

    The deafening ring of the gunshot instantly alerted everyone.

    ¡°What the hell is going on? Lai Zi! Why the hell did you open fire?!¡±

    ¡°F*ck! Lao Si is dead! Lai Zi killed Lao Si!¡±

    BAM!

    Another shot and another one dusted!

    He only had two enemies left now.

    ¡°Something is not right! That is not Lai Zi!¡±

    ¡°Be careful! It¡¯s the enemy!¡±

    Being ancient warriors, the two dashed instinctively to where Lai Zi was. Having the creed of a soldier, they believed that the enemy would find it impossible to hit a target consistently on the move. On the other hand, Qin Feng had no intention to take these down.

    The ominous pop of gunshots from afar got Xiao Jing extremely anxious. In the sheer blur of panic, she had forgotten Qin Feng¡¯s order. Unable to think, she started to run with the gun in her hands. Her demure face was now clenched up in a fury.

    She had grown up a lot in these few days, no longer the innocent little girl-next-door she was. She knew exactly what had happened. There were people who wanted to rob them! Regardless if it were for money or whatever else, Xiao Jing would stand her ground. Even if it meant putting her life at risk, she resolved to let nobody wrong her in that way.

    On the other hand, Qin Feng was still standing under the tree ¨C waiting for the ancient warriors to approach him. Most of the people that gathered at the hunting grounds were G-tier ability users. The two enemies that were walking towards him were the same as well. One of them had a G3 medal on him, and the other one had a G5 medal on him.

    In Qin Feng¡¯s eye, they were just a bunch of weaklings. After a few days of hunting and absorbing the force of his prey, Qin Feng was now a G3 elite.

    ¡°Hey, bastard! Did you do this?!¡±

    Both of them looked up the tree and saw their ally hanging lifelessly, dead as a doornail. They had figured out that Qin Feng must have been the one that opened fire at them earlier.

    ¡°You are going to die!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to die? Well nah. Unfortunately, I¡¯m going to live this time!¡± said Qin Feng with a cold smile.

    His eyes burned with murderous rage as he red at them with no remorse.

    ¡°Die you motherf*cker! Die!¡±

    The G3 elite roared and swung his fist at Qin Feng, prompting Qin Feng to instantly raise his as well.

    BAM!

    Both fists collided with each other with colossal force! The results, however, were very different from what the enemies were expecting. Qin Feng had in fact, not been sent away by his enemy¡¯s fabulous punch. Instead, the enemy¡¯s wrist had been bent backwards in a horror-inducing angle after taking the full brunt of Qin Feng¡¯s m. The overpowering internal force generated by Asteroid Assimtion had given him dominion over all beginner-level skills!

    The other G5 elite was shocked to see his severely injured ally. However, he had no intention to retreat. To him, while Qin Feng might be able to defeat the G3 elite, he was confident that there was no way that he could beat him. After all, the enemy was now in his twenties. After enduring hardened training for a few years, his Neigong was at least four times stronger than before. That was why it was going to be very hard for Qin Feng to use his Neigong to defeat him.

    Right after that, the G5 elite charged at Qin Feng andnded a kick on him to stop him from hitting the G3 elite.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    Qin Feng had no intention to stop fighting anytime soon. The fact that he was now facing two enemies alone did not stop him from attacking the G5 elite. Both of them came up with all their strength to fight with each other. The inner force that covered their bodies shed whenever their physical bodies came in contact.

    BAM!

    BAM!

    After exchanging blow after blow, the two started to feel pain invade their bodies. Qin Feng had spent only ten days to cultivate his Inner force, which was less than half a month. A prolonged fight with the enemy would only cause him more damage. The inner force that he had in his body right was still weak, only allowing him to fight for no more than five minutes. As for the G5 elite, he could clearly oust Qin Feng when it came to raw sustainment.

    ¡°Haha... Bastard, you can no longer fight me, right? Seems like you¡¯ve run out of breath!¡±

    The G5 elite was standing there, mocking andughing at Qin Feng. At the same time, the G3 elite regained his strength and held a dagger in his uninjured hand.

    ¡°We will see who canst the longest here!¡±

    Qin Feng opened up his fist and showed his palm at his enemies. Suddenly, the enemies could feel some sort of energy being absorbed through his palm.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    The qi field around Qin Feng was now fully elevated. Under such circumstances, the inner force from both ancient warriors were drawn out from the bodies turning into a vortex, rushing relentlessly at Qin Feng. In a matter of seconds, Qin Feng could feel the inner force in his Dantian filling up at a rapid pace. All that inner force he¡¯d absorbed had erged his Dantian ¨C automatically allowing him to store more of it.

    ¡°No!¡±

    The G3 elite started to struggle in a protest of hysteria. Soon, he lost all his strength and copsed to the floor with not an ounce of strength remaining in him. All his cultivation ceased to exist within seconds. As for the G5 elite, though he managed to shake himself off the Asteroid Assimtion, half of the inner force in his body was now gone. The only person benefiting from this whole dramatic event was Qin Feng.

    With his Dantian now filled with inner force, Qin Feng attempted to attack the G5 elite again.

    ¡°Tell me, who is going to lose the battle now?¡±

    ¡°You! Stop! We have not done anything to you. And you have also killed three of us anyway. Just leave! We can look past this!¡±

    ¡°If that¡¯s the case...¡±

    Qin Feng hesitated for a moment.

    Immediately, the G5 elite saw another ray of hope. One of his hands was clutching his Dantian tightly.

    ¡°Unfortunately, I¡¯m no newbie!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion activated itself once again. Standing at close proximity, Qin Feng managed to drain all of the G5 elite¡¯s inner force into his body almost instantly. With only two bars of increment, the skill came to a stop.

    Now, the G5 elite that stood in front of Qin Feng seemed to have lost all strength and his face was extremely pale. No worries about fatigue, as they would regain their strength after a good rest. As for their inner force, they would have to cultivate again to get it back. Xiao Jing witnessed Qin Feng had singlehandedly defeating two experienced elites who had been off the wild. It was at that moment that she knew the respect she had for him had very much increased.

    ¡°Qin Feng, what should we do with the two of them?¡±

    Xiao Jing could not bring herself to kill the two of them. The gun in her hand was shaking nonstop in response to her fear of ending someone¡¯s life.

    ¡°You¡¯ve got to get used to this kind of life sooner orter!¡±

    After that, Qin Feng snapped the necks of his enemies in half with his hand.

    k!

    The sound of bones cracking sent a chill running down Xiao Jing¡¯s spine. Qin Feng was readied to leave the ce but Xiao Jing was still standing there, shaking in fear. Within her very core, a battle brewed in her heart. Humans were usually the cruelest among all creatures inwless areas like this.

    If Qin Feng hadn¡¯t killed all those enemies, they would definitely go retreat and call for backup to help to avenge their dead allies, perhaps even reporting them to the authorities or ending up in a court ofw. After all, the enemies that Qin Feng killed were G-tier elites that came from the base.

    BAM!

    The sound of a gunshot rang in the stoic air. At the sound, Xiao Jing quickly caught up to Qin Feng. Her face was tense and focussed. It seemed like she had grown up a lot in a mere one night. She even appeared to have a ruthless aura about her, emanating with murderous intents.

    Qin Feng returned to where he came from earlier. Xiaobai was grooming itself. He then picked up his stuff and gazed up toward the sky, suddenly realizing that it had gotten real dark. After loading everything in the car, they jerry-rigged the keyless vehicle, managing to start the military truck.

    They began to drive on the overgrown road; one obviously abandoned for a long time. Suddenly, Qin Feng felt a stiffening and suffocating feeling as the atmosphere started to get more and more intense.

    In a dark environment like this, Qin Feng¡¯s senses of his surroundings had gotten better by folds. Left in the darkness for long periods of time, Qin Feng¡¯s senses had sharpened considerably, gaining much sensitivity and astuteness. After driving for around five minutes, he suddenly stepped hard on the gas!

    ¡°We¡¯re calling back to ntation! A rat tsunami is about to hit us!¡±

    Xiao Jing started to feel fear, and dread slowly consume her the moment she heard that. The tall grass around her swung violently to left and right, shaken by an invisible force. She wondered if this was the wind or something more sinister, something festering on the ground. Then, they came into view. There, she spotted a group of creatures each the size of a human¡¯s arm!

    Giant rats!

    Could it really be a rat tsunami?

    Whether truth of innuendo, Xiao Jing contacted Li Wen immediately. After these few days, Xiao Jing no longer held grudges toward Li Wen. She was now truly impressed by what he did. Soon, the news spread like wildfire.

    ¡°You sure about this? A rat tsunami is not a small matter!¡± quizzed a terrified Li Wen.

    ¡°I... I¡¯m not sure about that!¡±

    Evidently, Xiao Jing had never experienced something like that before.

    ¡°Hand it over!¡± shouted Qin Feng.

    Immediately, Xiao Jing handed themunication device to Qin Feng.¡±

    ¡°Captain Li, the rat tsunami will strike during the storm! We can expect about 10,000 to 30,000 of them! It¡¯s a small-scale rat tsunami. It would be better to ask the base to put defenses. Even if there¡¯s nothing in the end, it¡¯s better for us to stay on guard since the storm is about to hit us anyhow!¡±

    Hearing Qin Feng¡¯s confidence and determination, Li Wen elected to put his trust in everything he just heard.

    ¡°Fine!¡±

    ........

    In the wilderness, a group of ability users were chasing down some creature.

    Phishh!

    A giant rat was subsequently shed, unable to escape the fury of a de!

    ¡°Haha. These giant rats are so active today! They were considered a rare catch back in the day!¡±

    The other two lifted the rat by grabbing its tail and. It was riddled with lead, covered by holes from bullets.

    ¡°A great yield indeed!¡±

    ¡°Boss. I feel something ain¡¯t. The giant rats are too active today!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s going to rain soon. That¡¯s why they are more active than before.¡±

    ¡°Hang on, boss. What is that over there?!¡±

    Under the dim lights, a giant wave of creatures flowed towards them like water from a bursting river. It was the swarm of giant rats!

    All the ability users were so scared; they immediately triggered their fight-or-flight mode.

    ¡°Run!!!¡±

    Everyone screamed in horror.

    Qin Feng drove the military truck back to the base. The light drizzle incrementally grew to a furious rainstorm, giving everyone a sense of impending danger. Finally, the rm went off.

    ¡°Rat tsunami! It¡¯s going to hit us!¡±

    ¡°Prepare for battle!¡±

    ¡°Charge the traps! Guns on the ready!¡±

    Initially, the ability users were d that they had returned early. Now, they had to prepare for another massive battle again. All those still wandering the wilderness would have been already dead by now. Immediately, the ability users tapped on theirmunication devices, attempting to recruit another 500 of them from elsewhere to help them with the fight. After all, a rat tsunami was no small matter.

    ¡°What should we do now? Should we just wait here?¡±

    Xiao Jing started panicking when she saw everyone around her trying their best to prepare in fighting off the Rat tsunami.

    ¡°Wait here!¡± instructed Qin Feng.

    Outside the ntation, traps equipped with A.I technology were spread across hundreds of kilometers. Most of the time, they would not be triggered unless something substantial threatened the base. If all these traps failed to stop the rat tsunami, the ability users would have no choice but to step up their game and physically stop the whole thing.

    And if all the ability users failed to stop them, the base had to rely on the gunners on the towers with their semi-automatics to kill them. Their GPS was activated the moment they called for more ability users to help them, nketing into awork which allowed them to pinpoint the exact location of the rat tsunami. Still, they would need at least half an hour to get here. Meanwhile, they would have to defend the base with whatever they had.

    Soon, the dreaded noise of rodents filled the air as everyone spotted a giant ck waveing at them from afar.

    BAM!

    The traps were activated!

    The loud explosions activated the ability users¡¯ battle spirits, and a morale-inducing cheer followed.

    Buzz!

    A purple ray engulfed the field, spreading like arge violet sheet. With the help of rainwater, the purple ray managed to cover arger area than initially expected. A massive swarm of the herbivorous giant rats were electrocuted, stopping most of them from charging forward. Before they could even celebrate, the second wave of rats flooded the area, making the first victory a short stint.

    Instead of killing them, the steady current made them snap out of shock, sending them into an electrocuted, purple-minion-like frenzy.

    Fortunately, the creatures eventually gave up on digging holes. Instead, they switched course and started heading to the base, ravaging and gnawing everything in their path with their serrated incisors. Those at the base were beginning to worry that the fence they put up would not hold up to the continuing onught of the uncountable rodents.

    ¡°Prepare to fight!¡±

    Qin Feng held an energy gun in his hand, mustering up whatever courage he had left.

    ¡°Charge!!!¡± Li Wen screamed.

    The soldiers burst forward with a battle cry and climbed over the giant wooden fence after Li Wen gave themand, joined by arge number of bold and powerful ability users. Of course, Qi Feng followed suit as well. With just a few light steps, he managed to spring over the 4-meter tall barrier.

    Squeak!

    Squeak!

    Squeak!

    All the infuriated and injured giant rats charged at them the moment they smelt the stench of humans abseiling down the barricade

    St!

    Qin Feng stepped on one of the rat¡¯s head.

    k!

    Qin Feng flicked a switch of his energy gun, turning it to shotgun mode. Energy guns differed greatly whenpared to conventional weapons. Using energy instead of bullets, it enabled its user to modte between attack patterns. Of course, it was also way more expensive than its other less impressive gunpowder consuming counterparts.

    Klik!

    The trigger was released, and a bright, blue ray shot out, immediately zapping four giant rats to death. The other five were injured beyond redemption.

    Squeak!

    Squeak!

    Squeak!

    The roar of angry squeals became deafening, as the rats were driven insane by the smell of blood around them. They were bing increasingly agitated by the moment. All of them started to charge at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    BAM!

    Qin Feng unleashed his inner strength through his palm, imposing his force on all the giant rats that wereing at him from all directions.

    ¡°My Asteroid Assimtion has be really powerful after absorbing the power of two Ancient Warriors!¡±

    As this was Qin Feng¡¯s very first time experiencing such a powerful force, he was alit with excitement. This was the power of an S-tier Skill! At first nce, the giant rats seemed to sustain only light injuries, when, in fact, all their internal organs had beenpletely crushed by the crushing pressure of Qin Feng¡¯s skill. It was an effective strategy. If more giant rats came charging at him, he would use his abilities to kill them, and if he did run out of inner force, he would use his energy gun to fight them off.

    The sound of automatic gunfire lit up the surroundings like Chinese firecrackers on New Year¡¯s Eve. As it rained ever harder, the ground was painted red by blood. Soon after that, humans had started to rack up casualties as well. The giant rats, too, kept increasing in number, as if urged by some invisible force.

    ¡°There are at least 10,000 giant rats around us now!¡±

    ¡°Airstrike!¡±

    ¡°Not in this weather! The weather will kill us!¡±

    ¡°Be careful! The beast general!!!¡±

    COMMENT

    Someone shouted amid the sloppy chaos. In the blur of darkness and gushing rain, Qin Feng turned around and spotted a giant one-meter-long rat charging at them! The colossal rat, in all its fury, knocked over an ability user in its blind eagerness to charge.

    In the blink of an eye, the rat general chomped its incisors on a soldier, literally slicing the ability user in half. Judging by its ferocity and sheer power, Qin Feng knew that the rat general was way more powerful than the Wolf Mastiff he faced earlier. If it were not for Lu Meng, Qin Feng wouldn¡¯t have even dared to face the Wolf Mastiff alone.

    But now!

    ¡°Get lost! You dull creature!¡±

    With one foot on the ground, Qin Feng dashed the rat general located 10 meters away from him like a cannonball.

    BAM!

    As he came into contact with the beast, his fist mmed the rat with every ounce of energy he had within him! The explosive force hit the rat general, sending it flying a few meters back. Realizing that he had the upper hand, Qin Feng closed on the rat general and continued attacking it with constant, hard blows!

    BAM!

    BAM!

    BAM!

    A total of three continuous punches were administered to the rat general¡¯s head, with each blow forcing it a step backward. After the relentless attack, the rat general¡¯s head started to crack, and blood streamed out from them. Everyone there witnessing the battle nodded their heads in approval, garnering a renewed respect towards Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng had no time to care about the impressions of others. Immediately, he scanned the entire battlefield. 50 meters away, a half-meter tall giant rat was ravaging its surroundings. Knocking down a few soldiers in a mad dash, it had blinding speed and an untouchable swiftness.

    k!

    Qin Feng switched his gun to single-target mode. With him releasing the trigger, a concentrated blue beam was unleashed directly at the giant rat. As it jumped to the left all of a sudden, the ray prated its body, putting its arrogance to a stop.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face remained unchanged. Due to that, everyone knew that this was not a mere coincidence. It was his skill!

    Ultimate Prediction!

    The most potent talent a gunner could wield!

    The rain battered them with an insatiable fury, hitting their faces withrge drops of water. Conditions were harsh, and the men shuddered in the freezing gale.

    Qin Feng¡¯s attack had managed to exterminate all the giant rats that appeared in a one-hundred-meter radius. As for the other spots, however, the defense line was slowly crumbling. The soldiers that were stationed on towers started shooting at all rats that came close to the wooden barricade. Soon, rats began to pile up at the fence, and like mindless zombies, they began to chew incessantly, shaking it with every bite and gnaw.

    ¡°They are here! The Calvary is here!¡±

    ¡°Quick! The giant rats are here in the ntation! Exterminate them! Don¡¯t let them destroy our food!¡±

    ¡°Get down the bus and prepare for battle!¡±

    There were around at least ten big buses stopping at the ntation. Immediately, the ability users stepped off the bus and rushed to the wooden fence. They had to get to the spots where the giant rats had broken through, also having to find and exterminate those that were hiding in the food silos. Evidently, any small dy could cause an unimaginably big problem.

    Once the ntation was destroyed, the entire Chengbei Colony would be thrown into a famine, causing the deaths of countless innocent people.

    Some of the ones who¡¯d gotten down from the bus were still students. They were from Chengbei¡¯s prestigious college.

    k!

    k!

    Lu Meng had herbat machinery all set. Once the giant rats approached her, she would shoot them without any mercy.

    ¡°Meng Meng, be careful!¡±

    In this particr battle, Li Yaoyao was a part of the medical team and wasn¡¯t allowed to go to the frontline with thebat team, which was why she was so worried about Lu Meng.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry! Don¡¯t worry! There are a lot of people here. I won¡¯t put myself in situations I can¡¯t handle!¡± said Lu Meng, assuring the terrified girl.

    ¡°Li Yaoyao,e with me! Let¡¯s report to themand center first!¡± the mentor said.

    ¡°Yaoyao, you should go now!¡±

    ¡°Okay. Please be careful!¡±

    She quickly caught up to her mentor. At the same time, giant monitors that were installed at the base were all live-streaming the happenings on the frontline. A skinny andnky figure managed to capture Li Yao¡¯s attention. It was none other than Qin Feng.

    ¡°That¡¯s the Ultimate Prediction of a high-tier gunner! No doubt, he is definitely one of the best gunners around here!¡±

    ¡°Gunner? I think his body has now awakened into an Ancient Warrior¡¯s. His strength and speed have surpassed what an ordinary human being can achieve! I can also see that he is using his inner force to defeat his enemies!¡±

    ¡°Thisd has great potential! We need to make him join the garrison troops!¡±

    It seemed that all these high-ranking officers wereplimenting Qin Feng. At that moment, Li Yao became entirely mesmerized by Qin Feng. He was the one who had saved her not too long ago. Until this very moment, she did not even know his name.

    ¡°Do you have the info?!¡±

    ¡°Yes... His name is Qin Feng. This...¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s up? Something wrong with the info?¡±

    ¡°He is one of the guys who received the first batch of awakening potions this year. He has only been awakened for 14 days!¡±

    ¡°What?! No way! Oh god, he is a genius!¡±

    Li Yao¡¯s eyes sparkled, alight with excitement when she came to know about those things.

    ¡°His name is Qin Feng? That sounds bloody powerful!¡±

    The only thing they were unsure of was if he would join the garrison troops or attend some prestigious college. Of course, Li Yao hoped that he would choose college over the other. That would mean he would unofficially be her junior.

    ¡°Li Yao, what are you looking at?¡±

    The mentor¡¯s voice rudely awakened Li Yao from her daydreams.

    ¡°Noth... nothing!¡±

    ¡°I know that this is your first time seeing something like this. It¡¯s normal for you to freak out right now. Sooner orter, you will get used to it!¡±

    ¡°Yes, teacher.¡±

    At that very moment, rms went ring off in the base again.

    .....

    Qin Feng was fighting at the battlefront, not realizing that he had managed to capture a lot of attention with his exceptional abilities. However, he knew that the military would have to get involved in arge-scale battle like this and wasn¡¯t about to showcase all of his abilities. At least, he did not use his dark ability to exterminate the giant rats.

    No doubt, the skill, Shadow Cloaking, would allow him to defeat all his enemies with ease. Still, he refrained himself from using it.

    ¡°Alert! Alert! A Beast King-tier creature has just appeared, now located at 721 meters away from us. Please be careful!¡±

    Qin Feng took a look at hismunicator and saw the message published in the area¡¯swork. After knowing about the approaching creature, all the ability users were left in shock. Immediately, they retreated a few steps and stood at the guardrails above the fence to stop the king rat from moving forward.

    ¡°Missiles are ready!¡±

    ¡°Target is locked!¡±

    ¡°Fire!¡±

    A barrage of missilesunched with a pop, streaking across the sky with a glorious plume of smoke and noise. They thennded on the targeted ground.

    BOOM!

    BOOM!

    BOOM!

    Three missiles detonated at the same time sending out a powerful shockwave, its thick plume of smoke impairing the vision of those hoping for a hit. Soon after that, the machine scanned the area and delivered the news to them. It was bad news.

    ¡°Alert! Alert! A Beast-King-tier creature has just appeared! It is now located at 572 meters from us. Please be careful!¡±

    The monstrous creature was getting ever closer, raising the hairs of all who heard the ominous announcement.

    ¡°Prepare theserbeam!¡± shouted Li Wen.

    The distinct nk of gears grinding could be heard echoing in the air at the entrance. A five-meter tallser cannon was being hastily assembled. Once it was up and running, it locked on to the target soon after that.

    Although it was a mighty cannon by any standard, it was not all godlike and had its weaknesses as well. Theser beam could only travel in a straight line. In other words, it would not be able to dodge any obstacles that blocked its path. Though the Beast-King-tier creature was still a good 500 meters away from them, who wouldn¡¯t spot a four to five-meter-tall silver giant rat approaching in the rain?

    The rat had ckened parts on its skin, blood vessels visible through its burnt fur from the explosions of the missiles. Clearly, three rockets were not powerful enough to put a stop to it from making its way toward the ntation.

    Buzz!

    Squeak!

    A white, blinding light along with an ear-piercing screech was unleashed at the giant rat king when it was about 300 meters away from the base. Some weaker ability users were affected by the ear-piercing noise. Their ears started to bleed right after theser cannon was fired.

    Now, the cannon would need at least half a minute before it could be fired again. The giant rat king was approaching the base fast. After ten seconds, everyone could clearly see the creature. It was limping and seemed to have lost its front paw. Usually, an injured beast would pose an evenrger threat to its enemies, in this case, being the humans.

    Qin Feng was now standing only 30 meters away from the giant rat.

    Squeak!

    Squeak!

    Squeak!

    It seemed as if the giant rat king knew that the weapon that injured it was located behind the guard rails and immediately started to tackle the front door.

    ¡°Stop him!¡±

    RAT! TAT! TAT! TAT!

    All the soldiers were shooting at the giant rat king with their submachine guns. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to its enemies, it possessed such thick skin that it repelled all the bullets. To make things worse, the ricocheting shells began to hit the soldiers around it, maiming them and severely injuring a few.

    ¡°Stop shooting!¡± shouted Li Wen.

    The gunfire died out, filling the entire ce with an eerie silence.

    No one dared approach the giant rat king after they were ordered to stop shooting.

    BAM!

    Then, shockingly, the rat bulldozed forward, managing to ram through the doors and the guard tower standing beside it. Just when everyone had almost lost all hope, a massive wall was summoned at the entrance to stop the giant rat king from moving forward. Not only that, a giant fireball came out of nowhere andnded right on the ckened spot on its body!

    It was a critical hit!

    Squeak!!!

    That really pissed off the giant rat king. Immediately, it turned around and charged at the location where the fireball came from! At the same time, everyone turned around, searching for the one who had summoned the enormous fireball.

    He was engulfed in zing mes! Realizing the giant rat king charging at him, he dashed at it like a speeding bullet and managed to dodge its attack. Due to the licks of fire on his body and in the blur of the rain, none of them took a good look at the person. All they could figure out was the letter ¡®F¡¯ over the man¡¯s chest. Clearly, he was an ability user that was stronger than all of them.

    BAM!

    The ground shook violently as the giant rat king moved forward. Out of the blue, thousands of long spikes popped out from the earth and prated its belly. Naturally, the giant rat king attempted to avoid them. Nevertheless, despite its best efforts, it was left severely injured after the prickly ordeal.

    Squeak!

    Squeak!

    Squeak!

    The giant rat king howled in agony and rage, its squeals intensifying as it limped.

    All the other giant rats around it were getting angry as well. They then started to work together to break the defensive line. Upon seeing that, Qin Feng cranked up his inner strength to the max and attempted to stop them.

    On the other hand, the F-tier me and earth ability users were working together to defeat the giant rat king. Having said that, some would have carelessly assumed that by having such firepower, the rat king would eventually be defeated without much effort. Only Qin Feng understood the gravity of the situation that even F-tier ability users could not afford to make a single mistake during the fight. One small mistake could cost them both their lives.

    Thankfully, the two had impable teamwork. As they were very close to defeating the giant rat king, it dug the ground at lightning speed and attempted to flee the ce!

    ¡°Shit! It¡¯s trying to escape!¡±

    Immediately, the earth ability user ced both his palms on the ground.

    ¡°Harden!¡±

    Immediately, the ground became as hard as a rock. Unfortunately, the giant rat king had already dug in the ground. The soil around it got firmer and tighter, but the hardening process was slower than the giant rodent¡¯s persistent speed.

    Soon, the giant rat kingpletely disappeared underground. It was now impossible for the ability users to go after it. Having lost their pied-piper, all the other giant rats started to flee the colony.

    ¡°We managed to guard the ce!¡±

    ¡°The rm is now cancelled!¡±

    ¡°Unfortunately, we didn¡¯t get to kill the giant rat king!¡±

    Everyone around tried their best to clean up the mess. There were other ideas in Qin Feng¡¯s head, though. A golden opportunity had presented itself.

    ¡°Xiaobai, do you think you can locate the giant rat king?¡±

    En!

    En!

    En!

    Xiaobai vocalized, indicating to Qin Feng that it was able to locate the beast king.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go then!¡±

    Qin Feng had no intention to let the giant rat king stay alive. With its current strength, it would have definitely retreated to its nest, plotting its next attack to avenge its allies. If he was not mistaken, this Giant Rat Tsunami should not have even happened this year. He suspected that this phenomenon was in part due to him overhunting the threadsnakes.

    In the days of its inception, threadsnakes were one of the creatures that had threatened the safety of the early Chengbei ntation. The reason it was so dangerous was its ability to get close to ability users without them realizing it. On the other hand, the herbivorous giant rat was only interested in the food that was being stored at the ntation.

    Like its regr counterparts, the threadsnakes primarily feasted on baby rats. If a vast amount of threadsnakes disappeared in the wild, the bnce would be tipped, meaning most of the rats would get to see another day. In other words, they would have a hard time having enough food with their sudden influx of numbers.

    The temptation of the stored food was overweening and overpowering to them. They had the best of intentions to take over this ce since the very beginning. Under the shroud of rain, Qin Feng used his fastest and left the ntation speeding. He needed to run. Run to wherever the base could not track him down.

    After all the killing and devouring that just ensued, Qin Feng¡¯s body was now at tier G4. Unlike the others, Qin Feng was not tired at all. He was still at an optimum state. Soon, the rain eased up. Qin Feng ran for at least half an hour. He was now in the wild zone. Ordinary humans usually avoided this ce, having heard tales of hidden horrors and threats.

    Squeak!

    Squeak!

    Squeak!

    The unmistakable sounds of the rat suddenly appeared, promoting Xiaobai to shout!

    Qin Feng channeled his mind into activating a dark rune and transformed himself into a shadow.

    Swoosh!

    The soil on the ground started to shift. The ground caved in, revealing what must have been arge hole, obviously bored by some creature. Then, an injured giant rat king slowly emerged from it. One of its legs had broken, half its fur had been singed off, and its skin hadrge, bloody lesions. The skill that me ability user applied on him had severely burnt its flesh; it¡¯s most severe being its stomach that had been shed open by the spikes.

    The giant rat king was trying to climb up the mountain. When the rain had slowed down, Qin Feng could see that there were long, lush vines crawling on the mountain¡¯s wall. There were even small fruits growing on them.

    ¡°Talent Fruits!¡± shouted Qin Feng in excitement.

    Talent Fruits were considered low-tier Spirit Fruits. It could only be consumed by ability users that were below F-tier. However, partaking of the fruit bore astounding effects. It could be used to activate one¡¯s ability and Ancient Warrior¡¯s constitution. Only a limited amount of Talent Fruits were produced every year. People would literally give up everything they had just for the chance of purchasing one.

    Talent Fruits were costly, to say the least, and could cost up to five million yuan on the ck market! Even talentless sod could be an ability user after consuming the fruit. For instance, one could acquire a gunner¡¯s disposition at will. This became the reason why the rich loved to get their hands on the Talent Fruit. They would purchase it and give them to their children ¨C hoping that they would acquire a higher disposition in the future¡ªa cheat of sorts.

    Qin Feng did not expect that he would find three Talent Fruits here. Seeing the giant rat king trying to get close to the Talent Fruits, he figured out that it was trying to consume these in the hopes of healing its injuries.

    There was no way that Qin Feng would let go of this rare opportunity. Slowly and silently, he snuck up the rat from behind.

    ¡°Open up!¡± he yelled.

    With inner force filling up both his hands, Qin Feng grabbed the giant rat king by its tail with every ounce of his strength. The sudden attack caused it to lose its bnce, enabling Qin Feng to swing the giant rat king and flip it over.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    The powerful pulling force from the skill managed to restrict its movements. However, the giant rat king kept on struggling with its humungous body, preventing it from getting any closer to Qin Feng.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng directed his inner force outwards!

    COMMENT

    rggh!

    With a paralyzing shudder, blood gushed out of the open wounds on the giant rat king¡¯s chest.

    ¡°Shatter!¡±

    Putting his life on the line, Qin Feng charged toward the giant rat king tond a massive punch on its wound.

    k!

    k!

    Its ribcage shattered at the impact, revealing a beating heart. Pulling his arm away, he stood up and dashed and as far away as possible. The giant rat king then mustered all his strength to stand up. It somehow managed to regain its bnce. With its mouth wide open and bloodshot eyes ring at Qin Feng, it paused for a second. then, with a sniff, it started pouncing on him

    Then, before it even crossed 10 meters, it copsed on the ground, an ever-increasing pool of blood oozing out from its insides.

    The giant rat king was officially dead. Subsequently, Qin Feng absorbed all the rat king¡¯s energy. It made his muscles bulge a little more. His bones became more robust, and his heartbeat, more vibrant. He could barely contain the excess energy bursting out from the constraints of his limbs!

    G5-tier!

    Qin Feng breathed deeply with his eyes closed, relishing his newly acquired subhuman fortitude. He knew that he was now powerful enough to shatter a rock with his fist.

    His speed and strength had been boosted tremendously.

    ¡°Not bad!¡±

    In the end? It was worth the chase.

 Chapter 26: Battle Result

    <h4>Chapter 26: Battle Result</h4>

    Eek!

    Eek!

    Eek!

    Xiaobai jumped down from thebat backpack. It lifted up its w, revealing a fist-sized energy core beneath it. Secondster, it disappeared into thin air. Not too long ago, Qin Feng and Xiaobai hade to an understanding about the looting of items. He knew that Xiaobai had just used its spatial element to retrieve the giant rat king¡¯s energy core. It then transferred it back to its personal space.

    ¡°Fine! This belongs to you. I will not take it away.¡±

    Qin Feng was slightly frustrated at this but knew that without Xiaobai, it would have been impossible for him to locate the injured giant rat king.

    Afterward, Qin Feng nted his dagger right into the creature, drawing a clean cut on its belly. He started to dissect the giant rat king, rummaging through its entrails and retrieving some valuable parts. Teeth and ws had a price to them and could be sold in the market. Other than that, some of the skin and fur on the giant rat king were still in good condition.

    As for its flesh, it was, as a matter of fact, edible. Around 100 pounds of tasty meat was all for Qin Feng to harvest. By selling these off, he could earn some quick cash for himself. Fortunately, Xiaobai allowed him to utilize its personal space. Surely, he would have trouble exining away his bountiful harvest to the people. Having that in mind, he quickly stored all the rat¡¯s parts into Xiaobai¡¯s personal space.

    Leaving only bones on the ground, Qin Feng walked towards the vines. As he approached it, he found out that there were more than three Talent Fruits growing on the vines. Most of them had been gnawed by the giant rat king, leaving tell-tale marks teeth marks. It came to light that it was, in fact, rather difficult for a low-tier ultra beast the likes of a giant rat to evolve into giant rat king.

    ¡°Three it is then. Three Talent Fruits are good enough for me!¡±

    Immediately, Qin Feng plucked off the three Talent Fruits from the vines. Unconsciously, he put one into his mouth and took a bite out of it.

    Eek!

    Xiaobai was staring at the Talent Fruit.

    ¡°You can have one!¡±

    He decided to keep thest one for Zhou Hao. He then looked into his backpack, finding a bottle to store the fruit. Back at the base, everyone was still busy cleaning up the mess. None of them had the time to keep an eye on Qin Feng. No one would have noticed him leaving for a short period of time.

    Under those circumstances, he could conceal the fact that he had just killed the giant rat king alone. Though an exchange for a reward for this aplishment was possible, he eventually concluded that he would be better off keeping his discretion.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    Li Yao was looking for Qin Feng the moment the battle died down. Unfortunately, he was nowhere to be found. After looking around her for a bit, she finally spotted him as he returned from killing the giant rat king.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you hurt? I can treat your wounds right now!¡± Li Yao eximed when she saw his hands that were drenched in blood.

    ¡°Hey. I¡¯m fine. Thank you.¡±

    Qin Feng put on a frown on his face. He remembered that he¡¯d not told Li Yao his namest time. That could only mean that Li Yao probably heard others mentioning his name since he had gotten quite famous at the base.

    His rejection had turned Li Yao¡¯s face pale. She did not expect that Qin Feng would treat her in such an icy manner. Right at that moment, Xiao Jing approached them as well.

    ¡°Qin Feng! Are you okay?!¡±

    Earlier today, she too had taken part in defending the base, which was why she had no idea how was Qin Feng was doing. When she was helping the others clean the ntation, she was unable to locate Qin Feng. That had actually given her a good scare. Now, she was simply thankful that Qin Feng was well and alive.

    ¡°Hey? Are you hurt?¡± asked Qin Feng.

    ¡°It¡¯s no big deal! I killed 20 giant rats just now!¡± said Xiao Jing with a smile.

    ¡°You should go collect your reward. I might have to go back to the colony!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded at Li Yao and walked towards the military exchange center. Xiao Jing was shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s reply. Immediately, she went after him.

    ¡°You... you¡¯re not staying? Do you need more rest? Any ns toe here again?¡±

    In his mind, he knew exactly what Xiao Jing was thinking. Right after he was reborn to this world, he was the one who had taught Xiao Jing how to hunt. Technically speaking, he was indeed her first teacher and mentor.

    ¡°Whether Ie back or not, that¡¯s not your worry now. With your current strength and skillset, signing up for any mercenary team won¡¯t be a problem. I suggest you join the garrison troops first. After all, you have contributed a lot in defeating the rat tsunami.¡±

    At Qin Feng¡¯s constion, Xiao Jing seemed to be a little more epting of his leaving. During her time at the ntation, not only did she just follow Qin Feng around, but she even spent hours trying her best to socialize and learnbat fighting techniques. If she joined the garrison troops, she would be able to use his military merit points to exchange for inner force and learn machinery and fighting skills.

    ¡°How about you? Where are you going?¡± asked Xiao Jing.

    ¡°I think it¡¯s time for me to go to one of those top colleges, eh!¡± answered Qin Feng.

    ¡°Qing Feng, I have suspicions that those top colleges can no longer teach you anything!¡±

    Xiao Jing believed that Qin Feng was already extremely powerful. Besides, she had always been a cautious spender when it came torge amounts of money. Considering the fact that Qin Feng wasn¡¯t yet self-sustaining, it would be unwise for him to spend all that money just to go to college.

    ¡°That can¡¯t be right. There will always be someone more powerful than me!¡±

    Li Yao followed silently behind them since they had started talking to each other. At first, she too, was unhappy that Qin Feng was going to leave. The moment she heard Qin Feng¡¯s college-boy intentions, she put on a smile again.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re going to study at the college? That means you¡¯ll be my junior!¡±

    .....

    Qin Feng had no idea what went through Li Yao¡¯s mind. Unlike Xiao Jing, Li Yao was simply a regr medical practitioner. Besides, Xiao Jing had something to do with his past, which probably exined why he was closer to Xiao Jing.

    Both of them soon arrived at the exchange center and submitted videos that were recorded by theirmunicators to confirm the kills. Undoubtedly, this was one of the more essential functions of the localwork of the ntation. However, Qin Feng had turned hismunicator off when he was in pursuit of the giant rat king. This had made his video way shorter, an hour shorter whenpared to his counterparts. In a blink of ten seconds, the results were released.

    Dit!

    Dit!

    Dit!

    [Herbivore Giant Rat kill: 561. Soldier-tier Giant Rat kill: 21. General-tier Giant Rat kill: 9]

    The message left everyone around Qin Feng in a dazed shock.

    They even started to think that he must have been, in fact, an F-tier ability user.

    ¡°Is the system broken? How is it bloody possible that he can kill 500-plus of those rats all by himself?!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right! Perhaps it¡¯s a team¡¯s kill count!¡±

    ¡°He doesn¡¯t even have an ability user badge on him! Maybe there really is something wrong with the machine!¡±

    It was clear that the crowd had their doubts, well-founded if I may add. However, Qin Feng had no intention to defend himself.

    ¡°Hey!!! Watch your mouth! It¡¯s true that Qin Feng is extremely powerful! He is not even an officer¡¯s son!¡± shouted Xiao Jing.

    Unfortunately, her tiny voice was drowned by the groans and curses from the increasingly dissatisfied crowd causing none to pay any attention to her. Ultimately, the staff decided to check the rey. Its results had left the staff petrified.

    The video was a recording from a first-person perspective. The way he killed and fought off the giant rats was enough to prove that he had way more firepower than most who were here.

    ¡°Please hold on, sir. I shall bring you your reward now. Is there anything else you need?¡± asked the staff respectfully and politely.

    ¡°What do you mean? Are you seriously trying to convince us he really killed all those giant rats alone?¡± asked a mercenary standing behind Qin Feng, clearly filled with discontentment.

    ¡°I assure you there is nothing wrong with the machine. The results are urate!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe you! Could he be the son of some high-ranking officer? Is that why you¡¯ve privately added his merit points?!¡±

    ¡°That must be it!¡±

    ¡°I will never condone such a shameless deed! And you even have the guts to do it in front of us?!¡±

    ¡°He is still so young! There¡¯s no way you possess such powerful abilities!¡±

    ¡°And there isn¡¯t a single wound on him!¡±

    Everyone was adamant in finding out the truth about this unbelievable warrior, Qin Feng. On the other hand, the number of dead giant rats at the ntation was a fixed variable. The results clearly showed that Qin Feng had killed most of the giant rats alone. In other words, the others would have all received fewer merit points, leaving them suspicious that Qin Feng had somehow manipted the scores, snatching their kills away from them.

    The entire crowd had just sustained a battle with monstrous creatures and had to fight with their lives. Spirits were still high, and the adrenaline had not left them. Without so much as a word, they started to surround Qin Feng.

    Surprisingly, he stood his ground and remained calm despite the stressful circumstances. The employee, caught in the middle of the storm, was left facing an awkward situation. After watching hisbat video, they knew that Qin Feng was genuinely extremely powerful.

    ¡°Mister, do you mind show them yourbat video?¡±

    ¡°Of course, I mind!¡±

    The results were fair and square, and knowing he was fair from the start, Qin Feng felt it unnecessary for hisbat video to be disyed before a mob. Showing off his kills would only make him an unsavory target, painting his back with a huge bullseye. He could be the center of rumors and unwanted attention.

    Of course, his refusal to prove his ims had the crowd erupt in greater discontent and anger.

    ¡°We cannot let him go! We, the garrison troops of Chengbei Colony, demand an exnation!¡±

    ¡°What kind of exnation are you guys asking for? The video has never been tampered with. How dare you people throw such baseless usations? If all of you here think that you are right, let¡¯s make a bet then!¡±

    ¡°What do you want to bet?¡± asked the loudest and haughtiest ability user behind him.

    ¡°Let¡¯s bet about mybat video. I will ask the staff to send it to everyone. If thebat video is real, you guys have to pay me 100,000. And if the video is fake, I will pay all of you 100,000!¡±

    ¡°Haha! Go ahead! I will never believe you! The bet is on!¡±

    ¡°Count me in!¡±

    ¡°Free money! I want it too! I want to see your face after you cry like a baby!¡±

    Predictably, arge number of them calmed down when they heard of the involvement of cold-hard cash.

    Some of them even recognized that he was Qin Feng.

    After all, Qin Feng had stayed here for at least four to five days. The regrs hadid eyes on him and Xiao Jing at least once. It was a well-known fact around town that he had singlehandedly killed 50 threadsnakes only recently. The crowd started to cast their doubts the moment the results disyed that he had just ughtered over 500 giant rats under such bad weather. However, Qin Feng¡¯s calm disposition was starting to take effect, and they began to doubt themselves.

    ¡°Can I borrow your bank ount for a while?¡± asked Qin Feng while looking at the staff.

    Immediately, the staff nodded his head. If Qin Feng won the bet for some unlikely reason, this would prove that he was indeed the most powerful person here.

    ¡°Fine! Let¡¯s wire the money over now before we check out hisbat video!¡±

    A few added the staff¡¯smunicator, wiring 100,000 yuan each to his bank ount. Actually, only nine out of the entire crowd wanted to bet with Qin Feng.

    ¡°Just the few of you?¡±

    Qin Feng looked up, turning his face around and gazing at the crowd. Some of them avoided eye contact as guilt and insecurity began to fill them. The nine who insisted that Qin Feng was cheating were part of the extra 500 ability users called in to defend the ntation.

    It did not matter whether they contributed to the war or not. Eventually, they would receive 10,000 yuan in cash as a reward. Unfortunately, their kill count sorelygged behind Qin Feng. Unable to ept defeat, they felt that he had embarrassed them publicly and wanted retribution.

    ¡°No more? Mybat video is worth 100,000 yuan!¡±

    Since they were so nice and wanted to wager with Qin Feng, he too had to wire 900,000 to the staff who held the funds in escrow. When the banking was done and the amounts confirmed, the employee sent thebat video to all of the nine. They instantly yed it, staring intently at their screens. Some of themcked the patience to watch the entire video, skipping right to the middle part of it.

    Soon, the looks on their faces changed. Their worst fears hade to pass, disying disbelief and utter shock. It turned out that Qin Feng was indeed much more powerful than they had thought.

    ¡°Is there anything else you guys want to say to me?¡± asked Qin Feng as he stared at the nine of them.

    The loudest and most arrogant one amongst them was left ashamed by his thoughtless speech. He felt like someone had just given him a cold, hard p.

    ¡°We have lost the bet!¡±

    The arrogant man shouted in an embarrassed rage and stormed from the ce. The remaining eight people were also devastated by the fact that they had just lost a substantial 100,000 yuan. Staying here would only bring more shame to themselves. Immediately, all of them took their leave, looking down with no words uttered.

    COMMENT

    ¡°Eh? What happened? Why did they leave so fast?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious now? The video is real! This person right here did kill 500 giant rats!¡±

    ¡°Damn! So, it¡¯s real?!¡±

    Everyone turned their attention towards Qin Feng. Satisfied with the resolution, the staff then wired a handsome 1.8 million yuan to Qin Feng¡¯s bank ount.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, what would you like to do about your reward? Would you like to take it with you or exchange it?¡±

    ¡°I will take the Beast-Generals cores and their meat as well! I would like to exchange the rest with money.¡±

    ¡°Sure. Please hold for a minute, sir!¡±

    Dit!

    Dit!

    Dit!

    Qin Feng received a message on hismunicator. A total of 6.73 million yuan was transferred to his bank ount. A satisfactory amount.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, you can follow this employee here to get your beast cores and meat. After that, the garrison soldiers¡¯ truck will send them to wherever you desire.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Qin Feng then handpicked nine of the Beast-General¡¯s cores and sorted out the meat. He had no intention to sell the flesh. Instead, he wanted to send them to the orphanage.

    Thirty calm minutes passed.

    Then, with a thumpy diesel tter, the trucks arrived as nned. Without wasting any time, the soldiers loaded the flesh.

    <h4>Chapter 28: Reject The General</h4>

    A group of people was standing by the sides of the truck, led by an elderly man at the front. He wore a badge that indicated that an E-tier ability user. Li Wen was beside him as well. Instantly, Qin Feng noticed that the old man was here for him.

    ¡°Good god, Qin Feng. Do you know how long I¡¯ve been waiting for you? Allow me to introduce these gentlemen to you. The general of Chengbei Colony¡¯s garrison troops, General Han Jia. And this is the general of Tiger me brigade, General Wang Cheng!¡± announced Li Wen with gusto.

    Qin Feng nodded at the two generals in return.

    ¡°Greetings!¡±

    He remained unruffled as he shook the hands of the two leaders. After all, he had met a lot of generals in this life. Though their current residence was now called the human federation, each army group would have their own general due to the limited space the provided. However, their generals¡¯ levels were in ordance with the size of their armies.

    For example, the Chengbei Garrison Troops was responsible for protecting the colony. Next, was the Tiger me Brigade. They were responsible for providing aid and patrolling the area. There were also the mysterious Wilderness Rangers.

    As its name suggested, the brigade¡¯s main task was exploring obscure areas located far away from the colony, spending most of their time doing recon on grounds ordinary humans would never step. They would typically return with a vast amount of resources and discoveries to experiment on. At the same time, this brigade suffered the highest casualties among the three. A high mortality rate of 30% marred the infamous troops. Besides, these brigades were at only E-tier. In other words, their highest inmand would be an E-tier fighter as well.

    To Qin Feng, they were just small-time generals considering he was instantly categorized as an A-tier character the moment he was reborn to this world. If he wanted to, he was, in actual fact, powerful enough to apply as a general in any city that he liked.

    Seeing Qin Feng¡¯s emotionless, unperturbed character, General Wang Cheng became even more impressed.

    ¡°Kid, I can see that you have great potential. Do you wish to join our ranks of the Tiger me brigade?¡±

    ¡°I think you should join the garrison troops! It¡¯s our greatest honor to be assigned as protectors of the colony!¡± General Han Jian chipped in. Not to be outdone by his counterpart, he too wanted to take Qin Feng in as well.

    Unfortunately, Qin Feng had no intention to join either of them.

    ¡°Thank you so much for the generous offer, my dear sirs, but I¡¯m afraid I have other ns in mind!¡±

    The two generals looked at each other, never expecting Qin Feng to reject their offer without even thinking twice. Having being used to a position of authority, they were clearly upset by Qin Feng¡¯s upstart attitude. After all, they hade here personally to recruit Qin Feng. That being said, the generals had also taken the opportunity as a show of force in an attempt to win the hearts of the ntation¡¯s residents.

    ¡°Qin Feng, perhaps you might want to give it another thought? This is a golden opportunity! The generals themselves are here to recruit you!¡± said a nervous Li Wen with gritted teeth and signaling a warning to Qin Feng with his eyes.

    After giving it some thought, Qin Feng realized that he would still need some time before he could grow to E-tier. Not to mention that it was a very bad idea to offend generals. He would be shooting himself in the foot if he managed to get into the crosshairs of men leading legions of other men. Then it dawned upon him. He managing to figure a solution in the end.

    ¡°I¡¯m about to enroll in a high-tier college really soon. That is why I won¡¯t be able to join your brigades. If the two of you still insist on recruiting me, perhaps you can wait three years.¡±

    After hearing out Qin Feng out, their anger subsided.

    ¡°Old man Deng sure has a certain charm on him. I have no idea how he made kids like Qin Feng study at his college.¡± Han Jianughed.

    The old man Deng mentioned was none other than the dean of the high-tier college. He was also an E-tier ability user. Holding a high position amongst the society of the entire Chengbei Colony, well-endowed schrs like him usually possessed a certain charm. Seeing that the generals were no longer mad at him, Qin Feng introduced Xiao Jing to them before taking his leave.

    ¡°This is my ssmate, and she has awakened her Ancient Warrior Disposition as well. She¡¯s hoping that she could join the army,¡± said Qin Feng.

    ¡°Sure, little girl. Which of our fine brigades do you wish to join?¡±

    Xiao Jing looked at Qin Feng with grateful eyes and turned to Li Wen again.

    ¡°I want to join the garrison troops.¡±

    ¡°Okay. We will take her in!¡±

    General Han Jian nodded his head. General Wang Cheng, however, did not try to grab her from him, mainly because he had not witnessed Xiao Jing¡¯s strength for himself. He was also not fond of recruiting female soldiers. A few years from this point, he would dearly regret the decision he made today.

    ........

    ¡°Get to the orphanage please!¡±

    ¡°Mr Qin, are you sure that you want the flesh of Beast-Generals delivered to them?¡± asked the doubtful driver.

    ¡°Yes!

    I¡¯m an orphan myself! I¡¯m merely repaying their good deeds.¡±

    In his heart, though, Qin Feng knew that he was not exactly the kindest man in this world. Right before the rat tsunami, he had mercilessly killed four people.

    Dusk soon set upon them. The downpour had stopped, and the clouds had given way to a scenic sunset. The sky was bathed in orange, a crystal clear evening. Although the sun had emerged, the air was cool, cleansed by a crisp, fragrant breeze rustling in the trees.

    When they arrived at the orphanage, children were ying at the front yard happily. Seeing the approaching truck, the kids stopped in their tracks in apprehension and innocently stared at the vehicle.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, let me help you unload all the stuff,¡± offered the driver.

    ¡°That¡¯s alright, thanks. I¡¯ll just need you to open the doors for me!¡±

    ¡°You are most wee, sir.¡±

    Indeed, the giant in the rat¡¯s name was justified. Although all its organs and flesh had been removed, its bones were still equivalent to an adult pig¡¯s weight. Fortunately, for the soldiers and Qin Feng, it was not a problem moving these around.

    ¡°Okay, Mr. Qin. I shall take my leave first!¡±

    ¡°Thanks for your help!¡±

    Seeing that the military truck was gone, all the children rushed to Qin Feng, inquisitive of their visitor.

    ¡°Big brother, are these for us?¡±

    ¡°Big brother, what are those?¡±

    ¡°Big brother, can we eat these?¡±

    Driven by a child¡¯s curiosity, the kids could not help but instinctively peered into Qin Feng¡¯srge bundle of stuff. However, none of themid their hands on the goods. Clearly, their guardians had taught them well. The only thing that lingered with them all this while was hunger.

    ¡°You guys will knowter. Go and have fun now! Don¡¯te too close to me. I¡¯m filthy now!¡±

    Qin Feng was still wearing his T3 battle uniform, his head drenched by the rain, and there were blotches of dirt on his body. He subsequently grabbed all nine bags of flesh and dragged them into the orphanage. He then jotted his name on the registration book before putting all the goods into the walk-in freezer. The head of the orphanage wasn¡¯t present today, so Qin Feng left the ce, not talking to anyone.

    Lin Derong only returned after Qin Feng was long gone. The ce saddened him a lot, always being the receiving end of a new batch of orphans. To make matters worse, the meager funds allocated by the government to his orphanage was only barely guaranteed that they would not die of hunger. The malnourished kids were a heartbreaking testament to their suffering.

    ¡°Director, look! We have meat!¡± eximed one of the teachers suddenly as he walked in.

    At that, Lin Derong¡¯s eyes widened, and he was lit with excitement.

    ¡°Someone donated the meat to us? How much?¡±

    ¡°1,000 pounds!¡±

    Lin Derong managed to squeeze a smile from his weathered face.

    ¡°Not bad. Kind people still do exist in this world. We need to thank him. Put a mark on his name. We will repay his deeds in kind when our orphanage is in better condition!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 29: A Meaty Donation</h4>

    Still, Lin Derong was downcast. One thousand pounds of meat was not nearly enough for the entire orphanage. He had to carefully ration it. That would mean each of the orphans would only get a tiny bit of meat every day.

    ¡°Director, please. Let me finish. That¡¯s not ordinary meat! It¡¯s the meat of a beast general!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    Lin Derong paused for a while, obviously shocked.

    The meat from an ordinary beast costs around 100 yuan a pound. The price of a beast general¡¯s meat was way beyond that. It was at least three times the price of regr off-the-shelf meat. In other words, this person just donated 300,000 yuan to the orphanage, definitely not a small amount.

    ¡°Great! Great! Great! Get me his contact number. I have to thank him personally!¡±

    ¡°Director, the person who donated is Qin Feng!¡±

    As a student that had just graduated and left the orphanage not too long ago, it was unsurprising that a teacher would recognize him. At first, he had a hard time believing that Qin Feng was the one who donated the meat. In fact, at the sound of the name, the old director was left in even deeper sadness than before.

    This kid was different from the rest. He was the brightest kid that he had evere across before. Now, he was baffled. How in the world did Qin Feng manage to get his hands on such a great quantity of meat? One ought to know that Qin Feng could have easily be a wealthy tycoon if he sold all these to the market.

    ¡°Hold on. Don¡¯t touch the meat first. Let me call Qin Feng and confirm!¡±

    Lin Derong quickly dialed Qin Feng¡¯s number.

    ........

    Qin Feng had just checked himself into a hotel. The first thing that he did was to clean his filthy self up. Filling up the bathtub, he allowed the water to gently hit his body, lying down with a satisfied sigh. Then, hismunicator rang. Qin Feng reached for it and picked it up with his eyes still closed.

    As the video connected, Lin Derong saw Qin Feng basking in a rather luxurious pool ofther, in his background, a posh paintingid on a peach wall.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°Director!¡±

    There was a sense of intimacy in his calm gaze.

    ¡°It¡¯s me. It was you, right? You just donated 1,000 pounds of beast-general meat to the orphanage, right? Where did you get them? Please don¡¯t tell me you a waste picker now?¡±

    Waste pickers were the losers of themunity. All they could do in the wilderness was to run away from monsters. The bottom-feeders of the lot, they would usually salvage whatever that was left for them. Flesh and parts that others had rejected or discarded. Sometimes, they even had the audacity to loot dead ability users on the battlefield. They lived a scavenger life, living each moment by pure chance. If luck was not with them, they could lose their lives anytime.

    ¡°C¡¯mon Director. Don¡¯t you worry. I¡¯m not a waste picker!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled at the thought, subsequently exining about the Rat Tsunami incident to Lin Derong. After all, this was not a ssified incident. Anyone could have found out about it.

    ¡°I have awakened myself into an Ancient Warrior Disposition. You know I¡¯m really good atbat, right? I consider myself rather powerful now. I have even managed to kill quite a number of giant rats. To be honest, I have earned myself quite a handsome amount of money. Instead of selling the meat, I have decided to donate all of it to you!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s great! That¡¯s great! Qin Feng, it seems my student has made it in life! Come visit us when you are free! Please... don¡¯t buy us anything!¡±

    ¡°Hey, director? You know my doors are always open for you. Anything at all, juste to me, eh? Oh ya! For the beast-general meat, don¡¯t mix them with other stuff. It¡¯s better to turn them into dried meat for the children. I will continue to bring more food for you guys!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s awesome! Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts!¡±

    ¡°Director, I wille visit you tomorrow, alright?¡±

    Tomorrow would be the day where Lin Derong was exploited, a time right before Qin Feng was reborn to this world.

    ¡°Alright. I will wait for you. I want to see how powerful my little Qin Feng has be!¡±

    Qin Feng chatted with Lin Derong for a few minutes, mostly catching up about old friends and sharing a fewughs before hanging up the call.

    ...

    A few hourster...

    Ssh!

    Qin Feng stood up from the bathtub, a silhouette appearing on the foggy mirror. In only half a month, Qin Feng had managed to transform his scrawny figure to a toned, muscr body. He could feel that his bones had grown a bit as well. He was now 1.75 meters tall.

    The bath was satisfying, cleaning away the dirt and a lump sum of anxiety. He put on his bathrobe and started to shower Xiaobai withoutining. Xiaobai liked to shower a lot, loving to mess with the froth and soap bubbles. Qin Feng realized that without Xiaobai¡¯s help, he would never have gotten this far. He owed the creature a hell lot and felt it necessary to treat it the best he could.

    After the few days of nonstop killing, Qin Feng was exhausted. He fell into a deep sleep the moment his skin touched the sheets. As for Xiaobai, it was wide awake. After seeing that Qin Feng was fast asleep, it then summoned a fist-sized energy core in front of it. It was the energy core of the giant rat king.

    Chomp!

    Chomp!

    Xiao Bai started to devour the energy core, chomping down on therge sphere. Although the core was almost asrge as itself, it managed to swallow it within seconds. Nothing happened. There was no transformation taking ce. Seeing nothing that piqued its interest, it got bored and sleepy and dozed off as well.

    ....

    On the second day, Qin Feng put on a white t-shirt and jeans and headed to the orphanage. Seeing Xiaobai still soundly sleeping, Qin Feng gently put it in his backpack. Not wanting to leave it in the hotel alone, he was afraid of the prospect of a kidnap.

    The front yard of the orphanage was devoid of children ying as he entered its gates. Instead, the strong aroma of something cooking wafted in the wind. It turned out the kids were waiting at the dining hall to have a good meal. Kids were always hungry, and these were no exception. They were practically drooling at their seats.

    ¡°Qin Feng, ahh! You are here! Come taste this and tell me how good it is!¡±

    Lin Derong got up and dragged Qin Feng over. At another corner, arge number of teenagers were helping out with the dried meat processing. The fragrance of salt, spices, and meat were simply irresistible.

    ¡°This. Tastes. Wonderful!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, you can distribute it to the kids!¡±

    Lin Derong passed the dried meat to Qin Feng and rang the bell. With a mad rush, all the children started to line up in front of him.

    ¡°This is your big brother, Qin Feng. He is here today, bearing gifts! Remember to make him your role model! Work harder. Be more diligent, and you can be a hero like him! Understood?¡±

    ¡°Understood!¡±

    The kids replied at the top of their voices together. As for the teenagers who had seen this for a long time, the speech clearly did little effect. Nheless, they still admired him a lot. They too, secretly wished that they could be like him someday. After distributing the food, Qin Feng finally helped himself to the chow. With full and happy bellies, He took the teenagers for a training lesson.

    Morning soon gave way to noon.

    ¡°Director, you¡¯re heading to the ntation this afternoon, right?¡± asked Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng remembered that Lin Derong would visit the ntation to get supply donations for his orphanage on the same day every month. After all, the orphanage was under the care of the Chengbei Colony¡¯s government. Though the food that was given to him was almost always barely enough, it did at least lessen the burden for him.

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    ¡°Let me go with you then!¡±

    ¡°Great.¡±

    At that moment, Lin Derong came to the realization that Qin Feng should spend more time training himself instead of wasting his time at the orphanage. Besides, with all things considered, Qin Feng had done enough for the orphanage.

 Chapter 30: Liu Meng Must Die

    <h4>Chapter 30: Liu Meng Must Die</h4>

    The road to the orphanage was a tiny, poorly maintained pothole-ridden pathway. Its surroundings were overgrown with underbrushes, unkempt, and infested with bugs. As cynical as it might have sounded, there was an artistic touch to a young and old man walking on a muddy path with puddles.

    After walking a short distance, Qin Feng¡¯s body was alerted. He somehow had a sensation of imminent danger approaching. Just as he had expected, three young men wereing closer. Looking to be in their twenties, they were rather tall and muscr. Tattoos lined their backs, giving off an ufortable vibe.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng and the director could hear footsteps approaching from their backs. At the same time, Lin Derong stopped in his tracks as well. His face started to cringe, and he too could sense that something was amiss.

    ¡°Hehe... old man. I¡¯m in need of money. Give me everything you have right now!¡±

    The young man who led the gang of three grinned, showing a set of disgusting, half-yellowed teeth. At the same time, he was shing and flicking around his Swiss Army knife provocatively in his hand. Rage welled from within Qin Feng as he red at them with cold eyes.

    Liu Meng!

    Before his rebirth into this world, this was the person who had killed Lin Derong. Now, he was an S-tier criminal. Having prior knowledge about what was about to take ce, Qin Feng actually turned up to protect Lin Derong. Who would have known that Liu Meng would onlye looking for Lin Derong after Qin Feng had the Asteroid Assimtion Technique with him. Fate, sometimes, was a funny thing.

    ¡°Young man, I¡¯m just an old man. I don¡¯t have much with me!¡± Lin Derong said sternly in a determined manner.

    Holding the director¡¯s position in an orphanage was enough to prove that Lin Derong was too old forbat. In terms of experience, Lin Derong had been through a lot more whenpared to Liu Meng, which exined why he was not afraid of the youth¡¯s threats. He would never give in to the demands of robbers.

    ¡°You better y nice! You f*cking old bastard! You seriously think I didn¡¯t hear about a certain someone donating one million to the orphanage half a month ago? Give me the money now!¡± shouted Liu Meng, who was growing impatient.

    This was actually true. Half a month ago, someone rich did indeed donate one million to Lin Derong. However, it was Lin Derong himself who had requested the funds. During that time, arge number of children were in dire need of vinations. Ever since the first space rift appeared in this world, waves of young children were killed by a mysterious disease.

    To make matters worse, an antibiotic vine did note cheap. It was upwards of 5,000 yuan for a single injection. One million could only pay for 200 children. Fortunately, the orphanage was under the government¡¯s care, and for the sake of welfare, Lin Derong was only required to pay half the regr price for each injection. In the end, 400 of his children managed to receive life-saving vinations.

    All one-million of the donation money had been spent on these injections. Orphanages were institutions that required constant infusions of funds and donations to run well. Though it was under the government¡¯s care, a growing number of government officers wished that the orphanage did not exist.

    ¡°I have spent off all the one-million! Even if I have it, what makes you think that I have it with me right now?¡± asked Lin Derong with a smile while secretly getting himself ready for a fight.

    The four three that followed behind Liu Meng were low-tierckeys that terrorized the area, extorting money for their head, Liu Meng. Out of fear, most of their victims would eventually sumb to their will. Hence, they were surprised that Lin Derong, an elderly man, was bold enough to go against them. To them, Lin Derong and Qin Feng were justme ducks, what looked like a quick and easy smash-and-grab job.

    ¡°Let¡¯s show them a good time since they refused our kindness!¡±

    Liu Meng swung his hand, signifying his goons to trash Lin Derong.

    ¡°Beat him up real good! We need to teach him a lesson he won¡¯t forget! If he still fails to give me the money tomorrow, we will go to the orphanage and kill each of those children one by one!¡±

    Lin Derong was filled with anger when he Liu Meng¡¯s ruthless banter. With clenched fists, his face had turned beet red, and he was trembling as well.

    ¡°You¡¯re nothing but a dumb director of an orphanage! How a low scum like you dare show such arrogance to us is beyond me!¡±

    ¡°Beat him up!¡±

    A few days ago, the well-heeled financier who had donated to the orphanage made a piece of news out of it. Hoping to take every dishonorable advantage of the weak, they found themselves a ¡®business opportunity,¡¯ nning to take full control of the orphanage. They knew that it was run by mostly volunteers andmoners and had no problem stepping on their heads. Their ultimate goal was to siphon them off of all the donations they received.

    It was too much of a coincidence that these thugs came to him after the money had been spent,ying suspicion that everyone was connected to a one person, their ¡®generous¡¯ benefector.

    Before they could even do all of that, they had to first make sure to make that Lin Derong sumbed to them. Immediately, one of the thugs charged at Lin Derong, attempting tond him with a tight p. Considering that the thug had an Ancient Warrior Disposition, a regr p that was without inner force was already powerful enough to knock off a mouthful of teeth.

    Immediately, Lin Derong lifted up his arms in defense. He had closed his eyes, waiting for the moment of impact, when a hand suddenly intervened, protecting him from his assant.

    k!

    Qin Feng broke the thug¡¯s arm without any hesitation.

    ¡°Arghhhh!!!¡±

    The thug let out a painful wail. He had never expected someone as powerful as Qin Feng would be here to protect Lin Derong. Qin Feng too had no intention of letting them live and swiftly punched the thug¡¯s stomach with the great force of his left hand. Secondster, the thug could feel his inner force being forcefully sucked away from him. Now, hey there shaking uncontrobly as if being electrocuted by a bolt of lightning. Since his inner force had been drained by Qin Feng, he was left powerless and was sent flying.

    BAM!

    Hended three meters away from where he was standing. Motionless, he seemed to be dead. The entire incident happened within a few seconds. Before they could even recover from the shock, Qin Feng carried on his attack, proceeding to another thug. He lifted his leg andnded a head-smashing kick on the thug. At the same time, he thrust his fist on Liu Meng without any mercy!

    Hakk!

    Liu Meng did not expect a seemingly impoverished young man like Qin Feng was actually an awakened Ancient Warrior, and his Neigong was way more powerful than his. Seeing that his followers were killed with only a single hit, he immediately tried to summon his inner force, trying to shield off Qin Feng¡¯s furious attack.

    ¡°Kill this son of the bitch!!!¡± shouted Liu Meng.

    ¡°I dare you!¡± retorted Lin Derong.

    The two thugs behind Liu Meng charged at Qin Feng with the intention of killing him.

    ¡°This must be a joke! Let¡¯s who stays dead in the end! How dare you guys attack the director of an orphanage! Die!¡±

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    An enormous amount of inner force exuded from Qin Feng¡¯s body, steaming out with a greenish aura. With the skill now activated, his Neigong surrounded him like a raging vortex. The four persons that attempted to attack Qin Feng were unable to move with their hands halfway in the air! None of them could take another step forward. Some even started to move involuntarily.

    Qin Feng¡¯s current strength was at G5-tier, and the thugs that attacked him were probably G1 or G2-tier. That would mean their inner force was significantly weaker than Qin Feng. Resistance was futile. It was simply impossible for them to defeat him. Secondster, they realized their inner force slowly getting drained by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Get lost!¡±

    When the draining process waspleted, Qin Feng released his inner force sending all four of them flying with a mighty whoosh! As his assants were being blown away, he saw a dagger flying in the sky. Immediately, he kicked it towards Liu Meng¡¯s throat. This time, Qin Feng was not about to suppress his murderous intention anymore.

    Liu Meng had to die, no matter what!

 Chapter 31: Forming Inner Force

    <h4>Chapter 31: Forming Inner Force</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    The threat had been eliminated. Lin Derong simply stood still, left in huge shock. After not seeing Qin Feng for half a month, he felt like this was his first time meeting him. To his surprise, Qin Feng had be extremely powerful. Judging from the fact that Qin Feng could donate 1,000 pounds of beast general¡¯s flesh to the orphanage, Lin Derong somewhat guessed that Qin Feng had be more powerful than before.

    The young ones were slowly bing more powerful than the older generation.

    Qin Feng had just singlehandedly killed two thugs and injured three more. The ones who were still breathing were lying on the ground, suffering in pain.

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze moved toward Lin Derong, who was staring back at him. His heart did a few skips, wondering if Lin Derong saw him differently, thinking that he had turned cruel and had lost himself. With all things considered, however, Qin Feng hadn¡¯t the single ounce of regret having killed and maimed his enemy.

    So long Liu Meng was gone, he did not mind if Lin Derong hated him for being merciless.

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t be afraid. They are all dead now!¡±

    Instead of showing any displeasure, Lin Derong somehow noticed a change in Qin Feng¡¯s look. In his mind, he believed Qin Feng was shell shocked after he killed those thugs. No matter what the boy did, Qin Feng was forever his dearest child.

    ¡°You let me deal with it! Don¡¯t you worry!¡± said Lin Derong while tapping on Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder.

    Lin Derong saw him no differently. He breathed a sigh of relief.

    ¡°I¡¯m... I¡¯m fine!¡± replied Qin Feng with his head bowed.

    He wasn¡¯t about to let Lin Derong see his sunken expressions. With everything settled down, Lin Derong made a call to the patrol team. Minutester, the patrol members arrived.

    ¡°Good god, Director! What happened here?!¡± eximed the shocked leader of the patrol. Being an F-Tier captain, he was mortified and started shaking when he saw the mangled corpses on the path.

    Qin Feng quietly shuffled behind Lin Derong¡¯s shadow, hoping to stay as inconspicuous as possible.

    ¡°These few thugs were armed and tried to extort me. Luckily, my kid was here to protect me! Otherwise, it would have been my body lying here instead of theirs!¡±

    ¡°What?! How dare those sleazebagse to my turf and pull these heinous crimes! Cuff them and throw ¡¯em in the back! I want ¡¯em off my streets!¡±

    ¡°Yes, captain!¡±

    Everything had been dealt with real fast, with the officers dragging the five away in chains. Typically, members of the patrol had the highest authority in a colony. Considering the colony was inhabited by anything from the lowest of scums to the highest of pces, incidents like this were fairlymon. The death of five thugs had nobody bothered.

    ¡°I know you left the orphanage five years ago. Word around the street is that I¡¯m super stingy. But, to be honest, I¡¯m actually very well connected! Juste and look for me if you are in trouble!¡± said Lin Derong.

    If it was the old Qin Feng, Lin Derong would definitely not give him special care. The orphanage usually had too much to handle, and the orphans were pretty much on their own. Qin Feng was different, however. Lin Derong knew that he would be someone great in the future.

    ¡°I will keep it in mind, director!¡±

    Everything Qin Feng did today had truly impressed the director. It was also the first time that Qin Feng witnessed the softer, more human side of Lin Derong. In this cruel world, it was not easy to be someone like Qin Feng.

    After that, the director was sent to the ntation courtesy of the patrol car. Qin Feng returned to the hotel as well. After enduring and braving battles from yesterday and today, Qin Feng¡¯s Inner Force was tumbling inside his body. He could feel that he was now stronger. However good that may sound, an experienced ability user like Qin Feng knew that this was actually not right. True Inner Force was usually calm in one¡¯s body. It would only start tumbling around when one started to channel it.

    After Qin Feng returned to his room, he sat on the floor with his legs crossed, focussing his entire mind on his Dantian. Just like his experience with the ability core, the image of the Dantian was materialized in his mind. The Dantian looked very different from an ability core. One usually imagined the ability core floating in a starry sky, but the Dantian looked like an empty space with four walls that were made of flesh. It wasmon to spot inner force floating within the walls and being transferred to other ces.

    Ancient Warriors had been through hundreds of years of evolution. Usually, a beginner could feel the Inner Force floating within their bodies, as fine as a thread. It could travel between the blood vessels and nerves, using this as awork to travel the body. This, in turn, could significantly increase one¡¯s power.

    When a person¡¯s Nei Threads reached a certain amount, they would turn into Qi Orbs. This was the sign of the evolution into an F-tier Ancient Warrior. Under normal circumstances, a person who possessed nine Nei Threads would be automatically qualified to call himself an F-tier ability user. The amount of Nei Threads determined the rank of the person in the group. In other words, there were varying degrees of strengths, where there could be a mighty ability user and also a mediocre ability user in the same category.

    ¡°I have about 15 Nei Threads now!¡±

    All 15 of his Nei Threads were extremely thin. After summoning his willpower in an attempt to feel them, he found them all in different sizes. It was rather chaotic. He knew that things could take a worse turn if he did nothing about it.

    However, it was extremely troublesome and time-consuming work tidying up one¡¯s messed up Inner Force. Suddenly, he remembered a hypothesis he made earlier. Qin Feng immediately activated his special ability.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Subsequently, all his Nei Threads were being absorbed by something, gradually bing thinner and thinner. Eventually, all of them had disappeared. All the Inner Force he had with him hade by really easy. All he needed to do was to defeat a few foes that were weaker than him.

    This made him feel a little better, ignoring all the Nei Threads that were gone from his body. On the contrary, he was actually worried about the somewhat bizarre side effects messy Nei Threads could bring.

    After his Nei Threads were being absorbed, he could feel that his veins were filled with energy, and they expanded as well. Veins were typically the foundation of channeling Inner Force. With them bing bigger, it would be easier and faster for Qin Feng to absorb Inner Force that was around his body.

    After his veins were expanded, all his Inner Force came charging out from his Dantian to the upper Dantian located in the middle of his forehead! Though the ability core was thought toy in one¡¯s consciousness, there were schools of intellectuals that argued it was actually located at the upper Dantian.

    All of Qin Feng¡¯s Inner Forces were trying to enter the ability core, but it seemed like the ability core was rejecting them! As they attempted to prate the ability core, they were ejected and sent back to the lower Dantian. This process had converted 15 Nei Threads into 5 Nei Threads, albeit, extremely tough and stable ones.

    ¡°Sess! I can stop worrying about side effects of the Asteroid Assimtion skill! This will be my most powerful skill!¡±

    Qin Feng was lit with excitement as he thought about these things. All of a sudden, he could feel a surge of energy bursting out from his mind. When he tried to figure out where it came from, he discovered that it was actually from Xiaobai!

    ¡°Xiaobai!¡±

    Qin Feng turned around to look at Xiaobai, which was currently lying on the bed. In total, it had been asleep for 16 hours. The Qi around it was undergoing some major transformation. It still looked like a small beast, but it was most definitely about to evolve soon.

    <h4>Chapter 32: Crafted Equipment</h4>

    By beast rankings, Xiaobai was born an ordinary beast soldier. After evolution, it would be a beast general. Qin Feng could also feel that Xiaobai¡¯s personal storage space had increased to ten meters. Initially, it was only about a meter long. In other words, it was equivalent to a cubic meter. And now it had transformed into 1,000 cubic meters. That was as big as a house.

    Even Qin Feng himself felt that Xiaobai¡¯s ability of rapid expansion was grossly overpowered. Inside Xiaobai¡¯s space, Qin Feng could spot some other things lying around. There were two front teeth, nails from paws, and a pile of fur. All these belonged to the giant rats. Of course, some flesh had been left there as well.

    Qin Feng came across an idea when he saw all the unused materials. Undeniably, a T3 uniform was really tough and practical. It was made with skin and fur with thetest technology. It could be used to keep someone warm or cool them down, not to mention that they almost always came at reasonable prices. However, Qin Feng would not forget when Lu Meng got attacked by the jackals. A swipe from the jackal was powerful enough to tear apart her T3 battle suit. Luckily, she had inner armor, which protected her from the lethal attack.

    Inner armor of this kind was known as Rune Equipments. This type of Rune Equipment was made of the beast¡¯s skin and fur as well, each which required different techniques to craft them. For example, Rune Equipments with silver rays were made of a beast king¡¯s fur and skin. One would usually put on this kind of Rune Equipment with an outer armor. The armor type could be concealed with light-emitting paint, masking its real color.

    Beast soldiers would emit blue light.

    Beast generals would emit purple light.

    Beast kings would emit silver light.

    Beast emperors would emit golden light!

    ¡°I think all these materials here are enough to craft a Rune Equipment!¡± he thought to himself.

    Qin Feng then nced at hismunicator. He had earned around 1.2 million. After the rat tsunami fight, he was rewarded with 6.73 million. Add that up with the 900,000 that he made from the bet, he now had a total of 8.8 million yuan in his ount. That stash of money was almost enough to buy an entire Rune Equipment.

    After pondering over some thoughts, he decided he could significantly lower its cost if he provided the cksmith with materials. And so, he decided that it would be the first thing he would do in the morning.

    ........

    The second day, at the center of Chengbei Colony.

    Half a month ago, Qin Feng had bought a T3 battle suit in this very ce. The moment he entered the shop, the staff swiftly approached him. After all, Qin Feng had gone through a huge transformation. This time, he was tightly equipped with a battlesuit, no longer the messy urchin that entered his shop half a month ago.

    Qin Feng realized that the one who weed him was the same employee that had sold him the battlesuit half a month ago. His name was Sun Yu.

    ¡°Hi sir, it¡¯s you again. How may I be of service?¡±

    He was surprised that Sun Yu could still recognize him.

    ¡°Erm... I want to craft some equipment, but you¡¯ll have to keep it a secret. Do you think you can do it for me?¡± asked Qin Feng with a raised eyebrow.

    Crafting a piece of Rune Equipment was extremely expensive. Seeing the opportunity for a handsome profit, Sun Yu was extremely excited.

    ¡°Yes. I can do it. Please follow me!¡±

    Sun Yu then brought Qin Feng to the guest room, where they both could be alone. Scanning around for a bit, Qin Feng did not find any camera around him and was eventually satisfied. Finally, he took out the materials that he had in his backpack and showed them to Sun Yu.

    ¡°Take a look at all these materials!¡± said Qin Feng.

    Sun Yu¡¯s heart was thumping in his chest. Though he was still young, he was an enthusiast and had delved deep into crafting equipment afternding himself this job. There was a total of three floors at Wanzong Organization. Considering most of the people from Chengbei Colony could afford them, the battlesuits could be easily found on the first floor.

    The second and third floor was where the good stuff was. Here, arge amount of high-tier equipment could be found. That included Rune Equipment and G-tier equipment. They had at least 100,000 pieces of equipment lying around.

    ¡°Sir, if I¡¯m not mistaken, this is the skin and fur of a beast king. Judging by its size, it should be sufficient to make a shirt. If there¡¯s material left, we can craft them into gloves, arm guards, and knee pads.¡±

    Sun Yu was ecstatic, being his first time getting such a big business opportunity.

    ¡°Prioritize the shirt! I want to craftbat sabers with those tusks. Of course, I know I have limited materials here. The dagger doesn¡¯t have to be big. Just make sure that the quality is top-notch!¡±

    ¡°No problem, sir! The total for both itemses up to three million yuan. You¡¯ll need to pay 10% upfront, and you cane and collect the product in ten days.¡±

    ¡°Great!¡±

    Qin Feng then signed a contract with Sun Yu and paid 300,000 yuan.

    After that, Sun Yu brought over a safe that resembled a box with a password secured lock and stored all the materials in front of Qin Feng. It would then be sent to Wanzong Factory where a camera would record the entire process of crafting the equipment. This ensured that every piece of material could be traced and would be ounted for.

    Having gotten himself a deal, he opened the door and exited with a smile.

    Upon leaving the shop, a car advertisement that was ying on the big screen on a building caught Qin Feng¡¯s attention. All the while, he had no intention to purchase one. However, Xiaobai¡¯s storage space had grown exponentially all of a sudden. Now seemed like the right time.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look!¡± he grinned while rubbing his hands together.

    Immediately, he walked towards the showroom conveniently located below the giant billboard. Before he was reborn, all the cars around here were luxurious sedans. After all, he was an A-tier ability user. He would need to drive to dangerous areas from time to time, which was why he skipped all the cars that were not practical. Due to his limited funds, Qin Feng did not have many options to choose from.

    Soon, he found his target.

    Hovering Phantom Series.

    This one was a looker. It had the sexy curves of a supercar and was so low it almost scraped the ground. Its wheels were concealed, with only part of them visible from the outside. One look would tell such a car wasn¡¯t equipped for the off-road ruggedness of the wilderness.

    What made it so in-demand was that it was powered by a wind attribute energy rune, allowing it to float at least three meters from the ground. With this technology, the car could actually drive over whatever terrain it encountered

    And of course, thetest in technology dide with a hefty price. Carrying a ridiculous price tag of eight million yuan, it was almost impossible for ordinary people to procure. To the ability users and Ancient Warriors, on the other hand, this car severelycked in defense.

    Driving around with it was like a deathtrap, with little to no protective elements. In other words, it was a dud, something that was brawn over brain. Worse, it was usually driven by rich brats as a status symbol.

    Qin Feng weighed his options. It wasn¡¯t all negative. With the space that Qin Feng had right now, getting a less than ster vehicle wouldn¡¯t be much of a problem. Besides, the Hovering Phantom was the cheapest hovercar he could find in the market right now.

 Chapter 33: Combat Hovercar

    <h4>Chapter 33: Combat Hovercar</h4>

    Being the symbol of ultimate luxury, the hovercar was coveted and lusted by throngs of people, a very desirable item indeed. One of these was upied by two men, enjoying everyst bit offort the vehicle had to offer.

    ¡°Guess what cousin, this car is awesome! I¡¯m going to make damn sure I¡¯ll get myself one when I graduate!¡± said the young man at the driver¡¯s seat. He even started to imagine the attention that he would get when he drove around with this car.

    ¡°It¡¯s really awesome, but it¡¯s too damn expensive! Eight freaking million! Luckily, you have acquired the Ancient Warrior disposition; if not, it would have been impossible for us to get this car!¡±

    ¡°You are right!¡±

    ¡°Hey, I think you¡¯ve just gotten yourself a chance to get one. I heard Ms.Lui, and you are in the same ss. She is the daughter of the richest person in Chengbei Colony! All you need to do is woo her. If you seed, you can even get yourself a heavy machine!¡±

    ¡°Are you really going to let your girl buy you a car? If it were to be me, I¡¯d be damn embarrassed to even drive it. Keep in mind the word freedom will cease to exist once you rely on her financially! I would rather work hard until I can afford it myself!¡±

    Inside his heart, he was actually boiling with anger. The thought of wooing Lady Lui had its consequences. Grave consequences that might dictate his future. With that thought in his mind, the hovercar suddenly didn¡¯t seem so attractive anymore. After what he had been through, he did not dare to venture into the wilderness anymore.

    At the same time, Qin Feng had his attention glued to the car. He could recognize one of them. He was one of Lu Meng¡¯s ssmates named Wang Kai. Although he recognized the person, he decided not to greet him, considering they were simply acquaintances. Qin Feng blinked twice before he snapped out of his thoughts and summoned a salesman over.

    ¡°What excellent taste you have, sir. The Phantom series hovercar is our most versatile off-road vehicle. It¡¯spact enough to pass through obstacles with the utmost confidence! Our double-seated model here is the morefortable one! It features arge rearpartment, and we have even included a small chiller for you to store your loot!¡±

    ¡°Not only that, but the Phantom series¡¯ bespoke shell is also tough enough to endure attacks from F-tier beasts! We have incorporated a light-absorbing system that enables the vehicle to recycle used energy, giving it unprecedented range whenpared to ourpetitors!¡±

    ¡°We have even upgraded the regr safety features. Exclusive to our customers, we have incorporated an ultra-powerful signal transmitter for every Phantom grade. It scans for dangerous creatures within a 1,000-mile radius and alerts the driver. Our interactive user interface enables you to see a perfect 3D rendering of the discovered beast.

    The salesman was well trained and eloquently spoken, not missing out on a single feature he thought would attract Qin Feng. Though Qin Feng did not have his ability user badge with him, hisbat suit was enough to show others that he was someone to be reckoned with.

    In fact, the main reason why the salesperson was so eager to exin the car was that she saw the energy gun that he carried with him. Besides, he exuded a cold aura, making him more formidable. It would be hard for anyone not to notice it. Just as the salesperson was about to continue her sales-pitch, Wang Kai exited the car.

    WIth a quick persuasion, she asked Qin Feng, ¡°Sir, you should experience sitting in the car!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Qing Feng nodded. At the same time, Wang Kai looked up and saw Qin Feng.

    ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±

    Wang Kai red at Qin Feng with hostility. Initially, Qin Feng had no intention to bother Wang Kai. However, there he was, in between Qin Feng and the car, refusing him entry.

    ¡°Excuse me,¡± said Qin Feng.

    ¡°Let you through? Why should I do that? It¡¯s not even your car! I still need more time to experience this ride!¡±

    Immediately, Wang Kai entered the car again as a sign of defiance.

    BAM!

    He mmed the door in Qin Feng¡¯s face and raised his eyebrows in scorn.

    Qin Feng was speechless.

    ¡°Haha... leave this ce if you don¡¯t have the money! Who do you even think you are! You really thought you could afford this?¡± said Wang Kai.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± said Qin Feng to the salesperson, ignoring the provocation.

    ¡°I¡¯m really, really, sorry! Please, sir. Allow me to introduce another car to you!¡±

    In embarrassment, the salesperson apologized profusely to Qin Feng, secretly disgusted at Wang Kai¡¯s childish antics. Wang Kai, on the other hand, was smug with the thought that he had managed to embarrass Qin Feng in front of a woman.

    All it took was a few seconds for Wang Kai to immediately regret his impulsive actions.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need to look at other cars. Go get the paperwork settled. I¡¯m buying this car now!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    The salesperson¡¯s jaw suddenly dropped.

    ¡°This car will be mine soon. I want it clean. I¡¯d hate for others to damage it!¡± said Qin Feng.

    Wang Kai instantly knew Qin Feng was referring to him. Truth was, he could never afford to repay Qin Feng if something terrible did happen to the car.

    In a blur of rage and impulse, Wang Kai refused to believe that Qin Feng was about to purchase the car here and now.

    ¡°F*ck! Are you trying to scare me off? ! I will eat the tires in front of you if you can afford to buy this car!¡± shouted Wang Kai.

    COMMENT

    This time, he managed to capture the entire showroom¡¯s attention, albeit not the kind of attention that he wanted. Others would be jealous if he was the one who had bought the car. Instead, everyone was now silently tuning in for a drama to unfold before them.

    After a while, as Qin Feng did not return, he started to smile, relieved but at the same time, still wild and reckless.

    ¡°F*ck! I think the bastard yed us!

    Wang Kai figured that Qin Feng would leave him there and let him embarrass himself. He smirked in a moment of victory. The moment he got down from the car, however, he saw a man in a ck suit. The man turned out to be the security detail of the car gallery. Wang Kai also noticed that there was a G3 medal on him.

    An ability user!

    ¡°Mister, I¡¯m sorry, but this car belongs to someone now. Please stop fiddling with the vehicle! Your cooperation is most appreciated!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    ¡°Cousin, is that person your enemy? I checked him out just now and saw that he seriously just spent eight million yuan on the car!¡±

    Hoping that his little trick would bear fruit, Wang Kai sent his cousin in pursuit of Qin Feng, seeing if he had really purchased the hovercar. If so, the two of them would further embarrass him. After all, his family1 had to rely on Wang Kai¡¯s family.

    ¡°Qin Feng is the one that bought the car?¡± squealed Wang Kai in utter disbelief.

    ¡°Sir, please exit the car!¡± the ability user security guard repeated, this time, in a louder and stern manner.

    Immediately, Wang Kai opened the car door and left the car with his palms sweating.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± he said, hoping for a quick exit. He was not about to wait for Qin Feng toe back to embarrass him. Unfortunately, time wasn¡¯t on his side.

    ¡°What? You are going to leave now? How about eating the tires?¡± asked Qin Feng.

    ¡°Hahaha!¡±

    Everyone in the car gallery burst into roars ofughter.

    ¡°Never mind! One wheel costs at least hundreds of thousands of yuan! It¡¯s simply too expensive for you to eat it! Get lost!¡±

    Wang Kai was left speechless. After he exited the car, Qin Feng did not get into it immediately. Instead, the G3 ability user and a few other staff reced the seats to new ones. They then cleaned the car thoroughly before they even let Qin Feng enter it.

    He fired up the hovercar once he got in and immediately turned on the hover mode. Its wheels started to morph, taking the shape of rocket thrusters that emitted a pulsing, green glow.

    Wind Rune!

    The Phantom¡¯s hovering mode was powered by energy that was stored within it. Most of the cars in Chengbei Colony were not equipped with a hovering mode, managing to capture everyone¡¯s attention the moment he fired up its engines. After climbing around three meters, if sped off blowing the hats off everyone, whooshing away from the shop with a mighty gust of wind.

    ¡°That¡¯s so cool!¡±

    ¡°Oh god, so that¡¯s thebat hovercar?¡±

    ¡°That. Was. Awesome!¡±

    Everyone was obviously amused by the car, save for a dejected Wang Kai. His face had darkened to a strange shade of purple, mainly because he assumed Qin Feng had deliberately elerated right above his head.

    .....

    This was his way of teaching ill-mannered people like Wang Kai.

    When the hovercar had gained speed and altitude, he opened up his backpack, letting Xiaobai jump out. It curiously scanned at its surroundings before jumping to the co-driver seat.

    ¡°What do you think about this, eh? From today, you don¡¯t have to hide inside the bag anymore.¡±

    Each time when Qin Feng hopped in any giant off-road vehicle, Xiaobai had to hide inside his backpack. To make things worse, the off-road vehicle would travel at high speed. These vehicles would almost certainly be crowded and was a less-than-pleasurable experience. Let alone the tiny Xiaobai that was cramped up in his backpack.

    With the purchase of the car, it was no longer necessary for Xiaobai to hide inside his backpack. The Phantom featured privacy ss, making it impossible for anyone attempting to look in. All they could see was a solid ck. Considering that Xiaobai had only got the chance to catch a glimpse of the world from the window of Qin Feng¡¯s room, everything they passed seemed like an incredible discovery to it.

    The passing scenery soon faded into a blur, causing the little creature¡¯s eyes to droop. As quickly as it had intrigued it, it was quickly bored again. Jumping into the next seat, it fell asleep before anyone knew it. Qin Feng could not help but pat it lovingly.

    ¡°Now that I¡¯m in debt, I think I will need to head to the wilderness to earn some quick cash.¡±

    After spending eight million to buy the car, Qin Feng was now left with only 500,000 yuan, an amount not nearly enough to pay off the equipment he had ordered earlier. As he drove on, he approached a vast slum. It was a cesspool of cramped, unimaginative high-rise ts that sprawled from every inch of avable space. The ce was somber and suffocating, but for the orphans, it was a ce to live of their dreams.

    ¡°Zhou Hao,e down for a bit. I brought something for you!¡± said Qin Feng.

    ¡°Ah! What thing? It¡¯s a delight to see you Hang on; I¡¯ming down right now!¡±

    Zhou Hao kept his questions a minimum. Being best friends with Qin Feng, they both had meals together all the time at his ce. As a return, Qin Feng would work hard to find some extra cash to buy food Zhou Hao¡¯s family meals from time to time. The kindness they had for each other had strengthed their friendship through the times.

    Soon, Qin Feng saw Zhou Hao running out of his residence. He was now taller and more muscr. Sporting an oversized singlet and a pair of slippers made him look rather sloppy. Seeing the guy drenched in sweat, Qin Feng knew that he must have been working out.

    After looking around, Zhou Hao managed to locate Qin Feng.

    Getting off the car with a smile, Qin Feng waved to his friend.

    ¡°Zhou Hao!¡±

    One look at the luxurious ride caused Zhou Hao to be at a loss for words. He could only open his mouth in amazement.

    ¡°Did you go rob a bank or get married to some rich olddy? How did you manage to buy yourself a car like this? Hold on! This is a hovercar, right?!¡±

    Zhou Hao had a silent urge to kiss the car as a gesture of how much he liked it.

    ¡°What are you talking about? Haha... you should head back now. I brought you some good stuff. Eat it immediately when you get inside!¡±

    ¡°Let me see what¡¯s in here!¡±

    There were two items inside the ck stic bag. The first was meat. Though Zhou Hao had no idea what creature the meat came from, he could feel that it was packed with energy. The second item was a ss jar with a piece of fruit inside it.

    His eyes suddenly bulged at the realization of what he had at hand.

    ¡°This is a Talent...¡±

    ¡°Shhh!!!

    I came across a bunch of it when I was in the wilderness. I sold some and saved one for you!¡±

    As a matter of fact, Qin Feng only told a half-truth to Zhou Hao.

    An individual could only consume a single Talent Fruit. Hence, it was logical for Qin Feng to sell the rest of them. That was why Zhou Hao was suspicious of nothing, thinking he had used the money from selling the fruits for the hovercar.

    ¡°How dare you? Got a new car, and you didn¡¯t call me on an adventure, huh? You are one lucky bastard! Look at what you are wearing right now! Others might even think you are an ability user!¡±

    ¡°You should go back now before someone robs you! Remember to eat up the meat and fruit!¡±

    The meat came from a beast king and was able to fill one with a massive amount of energy after consuming it. Even if Zhou Hao failed to get his special ability awakened, he would at least acquire an Ancient Warrior disposition.

    ¡°Alright. I will head home and continue training!¡±

    Zhou Hao grinned widely, waving at Qin Feng while holding the stic bag tightly. His anxious and suspicious looks made him seem like a thief who had just stolen something. Qin Feng giggled nonstop at his antics in the car. He then turned around and drove to the main road.

    ¡°I remember this ce. I¡¯m afraid some unexpected event might just happen here soon!¡±

    This was the very event that had thrown Chengbei Colony into a dire crisis. The essential thing was that this event had a silver lining, and could actually solve his problems.

    Soon, the car was back in the flow of traffic. Although he did not trigger any of the car¡¯s cool functions, its exquisite exterior was itself enough to make heads turn. As he exited the colony, a truck full of people passed him. The truck¡¯s upants began teasing whistles. Of course, Qin Feng did not bother to look at them.

    Soon, he rerouted and was now speeding into the wild wilderness with the Phantom¡¯s hovering function activated. It was night, where threats opened their eyes at every nook and cranny.

 Chapter 35: Hell Stone

    <h4>Chapter 35: Hell Stone</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng was now at somewhere about 100 km away from Chengbei Colony. This was one of the spots purged by the Savage Armies. Hence, there would be no powerful beasts attacking Qin Feng. However, there were still some G-tier beasts lying around. During spring and autumn, the military would continue toe here to do their annual purge.

    He decided to set up camp within the confines of the hovercar. Besides, why put all that luxury to waste. Before Qin Feng settled to sleep, he sprinkled some beast-repellent powder 20 meters away.

    Waking up the next morning, he found several beasts trying to approach the vehicle, only to be stopped by the beast repellent barricade. Seeing the opportunity, Qin Feng quickly rounded them up and killed them. With the encouraging results, he set out to look for another rift. After looking around for some time, his efforts were fruitless and to no avail.

    ¡°I¡¯m pretty sure that I¡¯m at the right location. I think the space rift has not happened yet. Examining the clues, I think it should have happened within these two days!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s current location was somewhat distant from Chengbei Colony. He could only estimate when the space rift was going to happen. By the time the Savage Armies came to investigate, it should have been long gone by then. The machine only indicated that the space rift would happen this month and it was perfectly normal that Qin Feng did not know exact details.

    To his surprise, however, the space rift was about to rake ce sooner than he expected. It was evening, and the sky was painted in streaks of orange. Without warning, a part of the sky rippled and twisted. Then, Qin Feng¡¯s car started to re out warnings.

    Dit!

    Dit!

    Dit!

    [Warning! Warning! A space rift is spawning 500 meters away from you. Unknown creatures inbound. Please be careful!]

    Dit!

    Dit!

    Dit!

    Dit!

    [This space rift is less than 10 centimeters wide. Threat level: G!]

    Dit!

    Dit!

    Dit!

    [A huge surge of energy has been detected! You are rmended to leave your location as soon as possible!]

    Qin Feng quickly lifted up his head to scan his surroundings. He saw cracks appear in ce of the ripples, and it suddenly shattered like ss getting hit by a bullet. Typically, space rifts were extremely unpredictable. They could either contain fortunes or threats.

    This was the second space rift that he¡¯d encountered since he had been reborn into his world. Qin Feng initially thought that it presented a golden opportunity for him to earn a handsome amount of fortune.

    Or so he wished!

    He was wrong!

    This was a major threat.

    The sudden appearance of the wormhole caused ck lightning to cackle all around it. This space rift was different from the one in the razor-fanged infant incident. This one was spawning very slowly. It would seem that Qin Feng still had enough time to flee from the scene.

    Swoosh!

    Suddenly, a meteor streaked through the sky. Burning red with charred dark bits flying off it, it left a fascinating ming trail akin to aet.

    BAM!

    Everything happened in a mighty sh! In a blinding sh, everything around him vaporized and exploded. Qin Feng had no time to react, what more stray any further from hisnding spot. Before he could even realize it, the meteornded only 30 meters away from his hovercar. The tremendous force of the impact was almost powerful enough overturn Qin Feng¡¯s hovercar.

    ¡°Hovering!¡±

    Immediately, Qin Feng pressed on the button that allowed the car to hover, and it had managed to nullify the powerful shockwave of the meteor. The only thing that he could not avoid was flying stones and debris, raining upon the car like a furious hailstorm! The entirendscape had been terraformed by the meteor¡¯s impact.

    Ji!

    Ji!

    Ji!

    Xiaobai vocalized, extremely agitated. The fur behind its neck all stood up; its flight or fight instinct triggered. Once the rained of sand and stones slowed down, Qin Feng exited his vehicle, deciding to take a good look at the ster body that had so rudely intruded the calm.

    ¡°This... This is the Hell Stone!¡±

    The sight of the stone threw Qin Feng into a shock. The meteor was a ck stone that was covered in mes; its ck smoke consisting of ck runes. The runes were like a virus, where any exposure could turn the person into a zombie.

    ¡°This exins the zombie horde that I encountered some time ago!¡±

    A catastrophic event had taken ce at Chengbei Colony a month ago. Tens of thousands of zombies swarmed the colony at the same time. Though they had been all been quickly eliminated, the disease-carrying zombies managed to kill 40% of kids below the age of 16 who had yet to receive awakening serums.

    The orphanage suffered the most losses during that period. At that time, Lin Derong was not there. Most of the kids from the orphanage were killed by the virus, clearing out the entire first floor of the orphanage.

    Amid the tragic event, Qin Feng had managed to sessfully flee the colony. Before he left the orphanage, he received a message from the employees, asking for a donation to help them deal with the crisis. It was then that Qin Feng gave all his money, enough to keep him alive for a few days. He soon left the ce in a hurry.

    Still, it did not help much. All the while, Qin Feng paid close attention to this incident. Everything that was reported about the orphanage did not match what he witnessed. At first, Qin Feng thought the catastrophic event was caused by the ck runes that had escaped the space rift. He had never thought that a Hell Stone was the cause of everything.

    Hell Stones were considered S-tier special ability items.

    One might wonder what horrors this stone was capable of bringing.

    A wild boar had been killed when the stone hit the ground. Instead of staying dead, the swine stood on all fours and let out a long roar. Its enormous body was surrounded by a ck aura, and its originally yellow skin had turned grey. It soon started to shed, disying all the boar¡¯s muscles. The weirdest part was, not a single drop of blood hade out from it. Its eyes were had now turned red as if possessed by an evil spirit.

    Zombification!

    Qin Feng got down from his car without a second thought. It was a well-known fact that killing a zombified creature was extremely difficult. Qin Feng had tond a shot on its head to get a confirmed kill. If Qin Feng came into contact with the beast, there was a high chance that he might turn into a zombie.

    ZAAP!

    The energy gun prated the wild boar¡¯s head with a long, blue beam.

    At the same time, the ck runes changed direction and were headed towards Qin Feng! Unbeknownst to him, it was actually impossible for him to turn into a zombie because he was a dark ability user.

    ¡°Since all of these are ck runes, I wonder if it¡¯s possible for me to absorb them all.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s primary purpose ining here was to kill all the dark creatures. He had never thought that the truth could have been so terrifying. Now, panic was setting in. He braced himself and walk toward the dark runes.

    Ji!

    Ji!

    Ji!

    Xiaobai moving around in the hovercar. Nheless, it refrained from calling Qin Feng back because it somehow knew that the dark runes were going to benefit him. Xiaobai might appear to be a small creature, but it was, after all, the child of a high-tier beast and inherited the memory of its parents. Right now, however, it only had its instincts to rely on.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s special ability core was activated.

    <h4>Chapter 36: Giant Hand From the Rift</h4>

    All the dark runes hundreds of meters away were drawn to Qin Feng like a long streaming dragon. In his mind, he could feel a huge amount currently entering his consciousness andnding on his diamond ability core. Surprisingly, all these runes had only upied one small spot of it.

    ¡°10,000 dark runes!¡±

    He had not expected to have absorbed so many in one go. The power of these dark runes could bepared to a D-tier weapon. When Qin Feng looked up to the sky and discovered that it had been colored ck by the Hell Stone. Dark, ominous Clouds were everywhere. It seemed like something huge was about to hit the ground.

    ¡°I cannot let this happen!¡±

    Thinking about all the children that had lost their lives during thest dark rune catastrophy, Qin Feng was determined to stop the events that were about to take ce. He immediately ran to the location where the meteor had crashed.

    A 50-meter wide crater dug deep into where the Hell Stonended. Qin Feng was dumbfounded as he saw it lying there silently. No one knew the origin of Hell Stones. Since the first space rift had spawned on earth, there were already too many mysteries left unsolved.

    A long time ago, a fingernail-sized Hell Stonended on one of the cities in a country of the west.

    Thus, began the great apocalypse!

    The entire city was infected by the virus and turned all its residents into the undead, mindless, disease-carrying zombies. The ce was ravaged beyond belief, turning into a living hell overnight hence its name, the Hell Stone. Until today, the city had been ruled by a beast-king-tier zombie.

    All that cacophony had been caused by a stone no bigger than a quarter. Now, here Qin Feng was, staring at a fist-sized Hell Stone. He was incredibly anxious. Hell Stones were usually bad news to most people as it was a well-known fact that dark runes that exuded from it almost always brought forth devastating effects to.

    On the other hand, this logic did not apply to Qin Feng. To him, this was something that he longed.

    He stood only five meters away from the Hell Stone. At such close distance, Qin Feng had a good look at the rock. Apparently, there was a fire burning around it, its temperature so high that the ground around it sizzled and liquified. It seemed like the surroundingnd was about to turn into magma. Qin Feng had no time to hesitate anymore.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s special ability was activated, allowing him to devour the Hell Stone with ease. Secondster, the Hell Stone was gone, and the dark runes stopped spawning as well. Soon after, he felt something unusual going on in his body. Without going into mediation, he could see that a giant satellite had surrounded his diamond. It was like the earth and its moon, both connected.

    Dark runes kept pouring out of the Hell Stone to his diamond. Soon, it turned his diamond into dark red. He could also sense that his dark ability had enhanced by at least tenfold!

    ¡°This is crazy. Ten folds of improvement! I wonder how many dark runes I absorbed!¡±

    Just as Qin Feng was about to bask in his excitement, a palm-sized space rift appeared at the sky and within its confines, a pale hand adorned with ck fingernails came out. It seemed like a hand of a corpse, where no blood flowed through it. That had made it looked extremely terrifying.

    Ji!

    Ji!

    Ji!

    Suddenly, Xiaobai screamed and it activated the space rune without Qin Feng¡¯s consent.

    Bloop!

    Qin Feng disappeared into the thin air. This was Xiaobai¡¯s special ability after its evolution. Not only could it teleport to a certain ce, but it could also bring Qin Feng with it as well. At the same time, the pale hand that appeared in the sky started to swing around. Secondster, countless bones were summoned, with all of them beginning tobine to form a giant skeletal hand.

    Qin Feng managed to witness the whole thing. It was at that moment that he realized that it was not a skeletal hand but the w of a giant beast! The giant w suddenlynded at where Qin Feng had stood earlier with forceparable to the Hell Stone that crashed. If it were not for Xiaobai, Qin Feng would have surely been killed.

    After that, the skeletal w grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, thereby forming another giant crater.

    This was absolutely terrifying!

    Judging by its immense strength, this creature was more powerful than an S-tier creature! The skeletal w brought the soil back to the pale hand, which started to wave around. It seemed like it was trying to summon something, but it was fruitless.

    Qin Feng knew that something bad was about to happen to him. Clearly, the owner of this pale hand was looking for the Hell Stone. Fortunately, the space rift that the Hell Stone came out from was extremely small; the reason why the creature could not squeeze through it. Considering the strength of the giant skeletal w, the creature should be S-tier beast king.

    After searching frantically for a while, the creature let out a roar in frustration as it could not locate the Hell Stone.

    ¡°Who dares mess with my Holy Dark Stone?!¡± a booming voice roared from the heavens.

    ¡°Shit!¡±

    The creature tried to squeeze its other hand into the space rift. It seemed the rift would surely expand due to the extreme force exerted by the powerful creature. It was determined to look for whoever that had so brazenly taken its Hell Stone.

    ¡°I can¡¯t let him out no matter what!¡±

    Qin Feng knew that it was useless to run away now. Meanwhile, he managed toe up with the idea that might deal with it.

    Qin Feng turned on hismunicator and sent out info that he¡¯d gotten from his hovercar.

    ¡°Reporting back Chengyang City¡¯s space rift station. A space rift has spawned 300 kilometers northwest of the city. There is a massive amount of energy unleashing from it. An unknown creature is attempting to escape the rift. There¡¯s a high chance that it is an S-tier creature. Please send assistance to seal the space rift!¡±

    After the first space rift spawn on earth, humans began to work tirelessly toe up with a machine called a space stabilizing device. Usually, space rifts would disappear after some time. The space stabilizing device was used to speed up this closing process.

    Qin Feng hoped the calvary would get to him sooner thanter, which was why he¡¯d reported to Chengyang City instead of Chengbei Colony. However, they would need still some time to verify the situation. He was nervous, unsure if they would be able to close the rift in time. Presently, the creature was still attempting to erge the wormhole.

    Chirp!

    Chirp!

    Chirp!

    Xiaobai jumped up and teleported 30 meters above the ground.

    ¡°Xiaobai! What are you doing?!¡± shouted Qin Feng.

 Chapter 37: The Class Reunion

    <h4>Chapter 37: The ss Reunion</h4>

    Xiao Bai ignored Qin Feng and teleported once more.

    This time it appeared at 60 meters above the ground.

    It then teleported again!

    After three teleportation jumps, Xiao Bai was extremely close to the space rift.

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    Xiao Bai then trampled on the skeletal w. To the giant creature, Xiao Bai was just a puny creature, no more significant than an ant. With a swift move, Xiao Bai jumped mid-air, turned its tail to silver, and swiped on the creature¡¯s hand with a ring on it!

    Secondster, the space rift was forced to be sealed away, and Qin Feng could hear an agonizing wail that faded gradually.

    Swoosh!

    Without its power source, the giant skeletal hand shattered into pieces and fell from the sky. Thankfully, Xiao Bai managed to teleport away in the nick of time.

    Finally, Qin Feng could let out a sigh of relief. All the pressure that he had on him earlier was now lifted. It was then that Qin Feng¡¯smunicator vibrated.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, thank you for your report. We have detected that the space rift is now gone. However, there is still danger around you. We will nowunch a space rune to stabilize the area. We deeply thank you for your contributions to humanity. 10,000 yuan has been credited to your ount as a reward!¡±

    After that, Qin Feng could see a silver ray prating the sky through a few cracks. There were tiny patches of holes even though Xiao Bai had closed off the space rift for the most part. The silver ray was like an eraser, wiping off the cracks. After a long while, the threat was finally neutralized.

    Eek!

    Eek!

    Eek!

    Xiao Bai then jumped on top of the hovercar with a broken hand in his mouth. It was the hand that had fallen from the sky when Xiao Bai forced the space rift to close.

    ¡°This is...¡±

    Miraculously, the hand was still in one piece even though it was cut off from the creature. Silver rays emitted from it as Qin Feng took a closer look.

    Eek!

    Eek!

    Eek!

    Xiao Bai continued to shout.

    ¡°Are you asking me to devour it?¡± asked Qin Feng in surprise.

    Xiao Bai nodded its head enthusiastically.

    After signing the contract, both Qin Feng and Xiao Bai had a better understanding of each others¡¯ abilities. Otherwise, Xiao Bai would not have brought the hand to him.

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Without wasting any time, Qin Feng triggered his special ability and started to absorb the energy inside the hand. Even since he was reborn to this world, his special absorbing ability had gradually be more and more powerful. Now, he was able to absorb something without life force with ease. The effect that came with it, however, was potent. He could feel the energy significantly strengthening his bones.

    Then, a cracking sound came out of his bones, and silver light sted out of them. With his bones bing stronger, Qin Feng¡¯s speed and strength were also boosted at the same time. His entire body had received upgrades too.

    G6-tier!

    ¡°What a surprise of a reward!¡±

    Soon, his excitement and happiness turned to frustration. There were around 20,000 dark runes in his ability core. However, he would need a mighty consciousness to fully utilize all of them. Right now, his consciousness was still at G-tier, which meant he could only utilize 1,000 dark runes.

    He was frustrated by the fact that he could not fully utilize all 20,000 of them when he had them ready in his body.

    ¡°Nevermind. Right now, I¡¯m an ability user and an Ancient Warrior. I will try my best not to use my special ability all the time!¡±

    Qin Feng was stressed as he changed the way he thought. After that, he spent more time at the location to hunt more ultra beasts for himself. Though he had absorbed the entire Hell Stone, there were still dark runes scattered which had corrupted some ultra beasts nearby. These mutated creatures were far stronger than their ordinary counterparts.

    To make matters worse, the virus would infect their prey once they were killed. To restore the bnce, Qin Feng had decided that he would finish up his good deed, eliminating the gue-bearing monsters.

    ......

    Within the thick foliage of the jungle, Qin Feng was going after a grey monkey. All its skin and fur had fallen off, and it looked like a decaying corpse. Seemingly, It bore resemblence to a long-tailed macaque. Usually, the species swung from branch to branch at high speed and could do whatever they wanted in the wilderness. After the primate was hit by the dark runes, its body started to rot. This, however, did not affect its speed at all.

    ¡°Die!!!¡±

    Qin Feng knew that he was never going to catch up to the speeding monkey. He had to figure out another way to kill it. In an attempt to slow it down, heunched a ck ray at it. A hint of red light was embedded within the ck ray. It was formed by runes chosen by Qin Feng that were from his ability core. Soon, the ck ray caught up with the monkey.

    Screech!

    Screech!

    Screech!

    The ck ray burned its soul, causing it to tumble from the tree. Rolling on the ground in immense pain, Hellfire soon engulfed half of its body. By that time, Qin Feng had caught up to it as well. Without thinking twice, he took out a dagger and beheaded the monkey with one swipe.

    ¡°This is one tough opponent!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a sigh.

    All the parts on the long-tailed monkey were rendered useless after it was zombified. The only thing that he could salvage was its brain. An energy core grew on its head after its transformation, serving as the energy source of the undead creature.

    Usually, it was rare to find an energy core in a beast soldier. One had to hunt down a beast general to secure the slightest chance of acquiring an energy core. However, this one was less valuable and could only be sold for 10,000. As of now, Qin Feng had 300 of it, enough to pay off the equipment that he had asked someone to craft earlier.

    ¡°I should go back now!¡±

    Qin Feng had stayed in the wilderness for a total of nine days. He was supposed to go and get his equipment in a day.

    Dit!

    Dit!

    Dit!

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator vibrated. His eyes grew wide open in surprise when he saw the person calling.

    It was Chen Ming!

    A long time had passed since Qin Feng talked to Chen Ming ever since they graduated. Perhaps he felt guilty or embarrassed that he left Qin Feng alone when the space rift appeared before them. That was why he never contacted Qin Feng, until now.

    ¡°Qin Feng, we have a ss reunion tomorrow. Remember to join us, alright?!¡±

    ¡°ss reunion?¡±

    That was new. In his past life, Qin Feng had never attended an event like this.

 Chapter 38: A Conspiracy

    <h4>Chapter 38: A Conspiracy</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°What made you think of organizing a ss reunion?¡± quizzed Qin Feng.

    ¡°Everyone will be dispersing to different ces soon. It¡¯s a good time for us to gather and have some fun. And I also heard someone in our ss had her special ability awakened. It¡¯s Zhao Yuanyuan!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned. Of course, he knew that Zhao Yuanyuan was now an ability user. Due to herck of talent, she became a nt-type ability user. That meant no one would field her in the battlefield. At most, she could only be a manager at a ntation.

    ¡°Will Zhao Yuanyuan be paying for our meal?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Are you worried about going Dutch? The meal is not going to cost much, anyway. I can cover your share!¡±

    Qin Feng felt that somehow, something didn¡¯t seem right.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. Just give me the time and location. I will be there tomorrow!¡±

    ¡°The reunion party will be held at Zhengyuan Hotel, right beside our school! Room 109! Time is at 8pm. Don¡¯t bete!¡±

    After that, Chen Ming hung up the call casually. After giving it some thought, Qin Feng turned on hismunicator. As his ss had created a chat group, he discovered that some of them had received their awakening potions, and they were about to serve in other ces. Once they became an ability user or an Ancient Warrior, they could either hunt ultra beasts in the wilderness or join the mercenary team.

    As for those who did not awaken as an ability user, they would have to stay put at the colony and fear for their lives every single day.

    Opening the chat group, Qin Feng keyed in Chen Ming¡¯s name and found that he had be extra active a week ago. He was continually asking about who had their ability awakened. He even went the extra mile by joining other groups to ask the question.

    ¡°Could it be that the experimental group is on the move again?¡±

    Even since Qin Feng was reborn, he did not let the group capture him again. He was wondering if they had caught some other ability users. No matter what, Qin Feng would not let them get what they wanted.

    After a quick packing, Qin Feng got into his car and returned to the city with Xiaobai. Soon after that, he received Zhou Hao¡¯s call.

    ¡°Qin Feng, have you heard about the reunion party?¡±

    ¡°Yes. I know about it!¡±

    ¡°Hmph! Chen Ming is doing pretty well. He now has an Ancient Warrior¡¯s disposition has joined a mercenary team. I heard that he has earned a handsome amount of money. I think his inner force is at least at E-tier now.¡±

    Clearly, Zhou Hao didn¡¯t sound too happy. The three of them used to be close friends, where Qin Feng shared a good rtionship with two of them. However, Zhou Hao had never liked Chen Ming, who in turn, could do nothing about it. Truth to be told, Chen Ming behaved like a hypocrite.

    After the space rift incident, Zhou Hao knew that Chen Ming was no longer on good terms with Qin Feng. The two of them did not argue about it because they were too busy after they were awakened.

    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about him. You should be awakened as well, right?¡±

    With the G-tier enhancing potions and Talent Fruit that Qin Feng gave him, Zhou Hao should have been awakened by now.

    ¡°Hmph, I¡¯m just not happy that he is acting so arrogantly. He must be thinking that he¡¯s the most powerful one among us! I could have hunted in the wilderness if I hadn¡¯t enrolled in the advanced academy!¡± said Zhou Hao, obviously agitated.

    ¡°Let¡¯s not think about him. I will go and pick you up tomorrow, and we will go to the hotel together!¡±

    ¡°Whoa! Qin Feng, you¡¯re going to drive your hovercar to pick me up? What do you say about letting me have a go in it?¡±

    ¡°Do as you wish!¡±

    After chatting for a while, they eventually hung up the call. 25 days had passed since the beginning of the month, but it seemed like Zhou Hao had not awakened yet. If that was indeed the case, Qin Feng would have to make Zhou Hao enroll in the martial art academy. Though the martial arts academy was actually a school, the students were actually given the freedom to arrange their own sses. They could even take the test early if they wanted to. After all, everyone progressed at different rates.

    There was a caveat to all of that. There was no such thing as retaking the exam in the academy. Once Qin Feng passed the first semester¡¯s test, could he start to think of how he was going to fully utilize his time.

    .....

    It was the next morning. Qin Feng woke up, seeing Xiaobai still soundly asleep on the pillow. He now wondered if he should get his own personal home. Although it was true that a motel was a convenient ce to stay, it was simply too small. It was getting harder for Xiaobai to move around freely. Besides, each motel he checked in to had their own set of characteristics. Suddenly, he felt like a gypsy... or perhaps a nomad.

    After spending the entire morning training, he looked at his watch, realizing it was time for him to pick up Zhou Hao.

    ¡°Xiaobai, let¡¯s go!¡±¡®

    Qin Feng then opened up his backpack, and the very excited Xiaobai jumped into it. When he was done checking out from the motel, he drove over to Wanzong Equipment Shop. Little Sun was waiting for him outside. The moment he saw Qin Feng, he quickly approached the hovercar.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, you are finally here. Your order is ready! Please follow me!¡±

    ¡°Hold on. There¡¯s no need to rush. Before that, I¡¯d like to sell something!¡±

    Immediately, Qin Feng took out the energy cores that he collected.

    A single energy core was the size of a fingernail. With 300 of them in one bunch, they looked like an impressive collection of rare marbles. Little Sun¡¯s jaw dropped at the sight of the precious relics. For the second time, he had struck another big deal!

    ¡°Hold on, please. Let me help you count them!¡±

    There was no way that he could do it alone. There was another middle-aged woman in the shop, but Little Sun avoided bothering her as she was the store manager. Thankfully for him, another employee was avable the moment he was done serving another customer.

    ¡°Come here and help me! I will give you 10% of whatever I earn!¡±

    ¡°Deal!¡±

    No one said no to money. Immediately, Little Sun and his colleague produced some tools to assist in counting the energy cores.

    ¡°Psst! This is nothing!¡±

    The store manager saw that the two of them were sweating as they counted the energy cores. She seemed to bepletely calm and unbothered, but in actual fact, her heart started to grow green with jealousy. To make matters worse, Little Sun didn¡¯t even blink twice at her. Half an hourter, they were done counting the energy cores.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, the total we can give you for 300 energy cores is 4.13 million yuan! Please confirm it!¡±

    Qin Feng took a quick look at it and signed his signature approving the count. The shop could either sell the cores or even turn them into something else after buying them from Qin Feng. No matter what, this was still a great yield to them, credits to Little Sun, of course, who made the deal possible.

    ¡°You can deduct the remaining cost of my equipment from here!¡± Qin Feng proposed.

    ¡°Okay. I will give you 1.43 million yuan then! Please examine the equipment and inform me if there¡¯s anything you¡¯re not happy about!¡±

    The two of them then entered a private room where Little Sun took out a box that contained Qin Feng¡¯s equipment. Qin Feng took a good look at it, discovering a shirt made of runes, a wrist guard, and one saber.

    Both the shirt and wrist guard were in a cool jet ck. This was not the original color of the giant rat¡¯s skin. It had been dyed ck during the crafting process. However, there was an irremovable silver ze on top of it.

 Chapter 39: Verdant Emperor Saber

    <h4>Chapter 39: Verdant Emperor Saber</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was the pinnacle of equipment made out of beast-king tier materials. Wasting no time, Qin Feng took off his jacket and put on his new shirt. It was a tight fit, but he wasfortable enough. It even nullified the sweltering heat of the summer. As a bonus, this shirt was extremely durable as well, being able to withstand the rigors of a G-tier beast king.

    ¡°Not bad!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded his head and put on his jacket to cover the shirt. As for the two wrist guards, he had decided not to put it on to avoid catching the unnecessary attention of the public.

    ¡°The saber is inspired by period designs from the Tang Dynasty. Every designer would name a weapon that had been made with beast-king tier materials. This saber is called Verdant Emperor Saber!¡±

    ¡°The sheath of this saber is made from the remaining leather that you passed to us. I believe this leather sheath will be able to preserve the saber well! It is 65 centimeters long in total, its hilt 20 centimeters, and its de, 45 centimeters. As for its width, it is 3.2 centimeters. Its special de is only is 0.7 centimeters thick.¡±

    ¡°This saber is rated as a G5 silver-ray rune weapon, powerful enough to ignore the defense of any G-tier ultra beast¡¯s skin. It can even be used to hunt down F-tier ultra beasts! This weapon can also be equipped with F-tier rune.¡±

    When Qin Feng held the sheath with the saber in it, he could barely feel its contents. The sheath had been hardened. The sword was just the right size as well, considering the limited amount of materials that Qin Feng had given them. He then slowly drew the saber, and a sparkling silver ray shone right into his eyes. However, the de itself was not silver in color.

    In fact, the de did not even reflect light, as it was made of an ultra beast¡¯s bones, teeth, and ws. That exined its bone-white hue. Usually, one could choose special dyes to paint the weapon into different shades, but Qin Feng did not ce any special requests. After close examination, the de turned out to be green in color. Its name, the Verdant Emperor de made perfect sense now. From the outside, it may look extremely fragile. When one wielded it, however, the person would instantly know that the de was practically indestructible.

    ¡°Very good. I¡¯m happy with it!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded his head and let out a contented sigh.

    ¡°Our customer¡¯s satisfaction is of utmost importance to us!¡± said Little Sun while bowing.

    Next, he passed Qin Feng a cylindrical container that was one meter long and ten centimeters wide. It seemed big enough to fit his newly minted saber. A strap had also been conveniently attached, enabling it to be slung over his shoulder. It was essential that Qin Feng concealed his new equipment since he was in the colony. The ce was known to fester with people of ill intentions, and he would be their prime target.

    As he finished up with the shop, Qin Feng then drove to Zhou Hao¡¯s ce to pick him up. The moment he arrived, Zhou Hao, who had put on abat suit, ran to Qin Feng in excitement. In this era, one¡¯s status was determined bybat suits, not the conventional suit and tie. A set of goldenbat suit would literally set the hearts of everyone in the colony on fire and jealousy to soar.

    ¡°What do you think? Am I handsome? My dad bought this for me to celebrate my awakening into an Ancient Warrior¡¯s disposition! Haha!¡±

    He had already obtained this suit for almost a week, but there was no ce for him to wear it. And today, an opportunity had presented itself. He finally found the right asion to put the set on.

    ¡°Super handsome!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, I don¡¯t wish to criticize your attire, but you have just bought yourself a car that cost you eight million! How could you not buy yourself a new battle suit? If I remember correctly, you are still wearing the same set as thest time I saw you!¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t really matter. It¡¯s just a reunion party between ssmates. It¡¯s not like we are going topete against each other!¡±

    ¡°Well... others might look down on you if you dress like that!¡±

    ¡°Since when have they looked down on me?¡± asked Qin Feng while twisting his wrists.

    If it was not for the experiment that he had gone through before, he was not to be messed with. Qin Feng had spent his entire childhood at the orphanage, and so was forced to mature faster than ordinary kids. Being forced into adulthood before his time, he would never allow others to take advantage of him.

    In the intermediate academy, his results were the best amongst his peers, where he would ce first inbat ss every year. This was mostly because his physique was better than most of the students who were scrawny and malnourished. As a result, he was feared by many. His potential was limitless and stood to have the brightest of futures, although he came from a poor background.

    ¡°You are right. The battle suit you¡¯re wearing today doesn¡¯t live up to this hovercar. Quick! Quick! Quick! Allow me to drive!¡±

    Zhou Hao could not wait for Qin Feng to move to the passenger seat. He could finally fulfill his long-awaited dream of driving this revered hovercar.

    Surprisingly, Qin Feng was not annoyed by his friend¡¯s irritating antics. Instead, he quickly moved to the next seat and ced his backpack on his thighs.

    Eek!

    Eek!

    Xiaobai squirmed around in the backpack until it found afortable spot to stay still. Qin Feng tapped his backpack lightly, reminding Xiaobai not to reveal itself to others. The car was then switched to hover mode. There was still some time left before the reunion, so the overjoyed Zhou Hao flew the hovercar across two streets before finallynding the car on the road.

    ¡°I can¡¯t wait to see the looks on their faces when they see me driving in!¡± said Zhou Hao.

    Zhou Hao was really worried about the car¡¯s energy consumption. He had heard horror stories that a single drive would typically cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. It was true that the car was perfect, but it simply required too much money to keep it running. So after having great fun with the car, he proudly flew it in the direction of the Zhungyuan Hotel.

    In actual fact, the hotel was not that big. It was just perfect for a reunion party like that. At most, everyone would only need to pay 100 yuan. Back when he was still living in the orphanage, it took three days of back-breakingbor to earn 100 yuan. That exined why Chen Ming had mocked Qin Feng while they were talking on the phone.

    The moment Qin Feng and Zhou Hao got down from the car, a girl called out for them.

    ¡°Did I see that right? Zhou Hao, is that your car?¡±

    The girl was reasonably pretty; she looked somewhat familiar, but Qin Feng had forgotten her name. After all, he had left Chengyang colony for many years now. Surely, he would not remember any of them unless they kept in touch with him.

    ¡°Of course not. It¡¯s...¡±

    Zhou Hao wanted to tell her that the hovercar belonged to Qin Feng, but instead, Qin Feng signaled him with his eyes to stop him from telling the truth. Immediately, he changed his story.

    ¡°It belongs to my friend! Good, right?¡±

    ¡°Your friend must be really powerful and rich! You must both share a strong rtionship since he is willing to lend you such an expensive car!¡± said the girl who was visibly shocked.

    Knowing a friend of such stature usually provided useful aid when in hard times. The girl would surely faint if she knew the friend Zhou Hao mentioned was actually Qin Feng. After exiting the car, the three of them walked into the hotel. Most of their old ssmates were present.

 Chapter 40: Terrorists

    <h4>Chapter 40: Terrorists</h4>

    In the intermediate academy, thirty students were in the graduating ss of sixteen-year-olds. There was a two-tabled private room as well, indicating obvious segregation.

    Within the room, Zhao Yuanyuan and Chen Ming were in the limelight, both busy receiving congrattory praises for having their abilities awakened. One of them already a member of a mercenary team, and was rumored to have earned 50,000 yuan this month alone!

    In the eyes of these fresh graduates who had only just stepped out into the world, 50,000 yuan was an unobtainable amount. They were ustomed to being supported by their parents.

    To some of the less wealthy students, 50,000 yuan was 5 years worth of their parents¡¯ sry. Cheng Ming had earned the entire sum in all but a month.

    Now, who wouldn¡¯t have envied that?

    ¡°Zhou Hao, Qin Feng, you¡¯re here!¡± Chen Ming called out to them, waving, but as his friends drew closer, his brows creased.

    Zhou Hao was equipped with abat suit.

    ¡°Zhou Hao! Yourbat suit looks real good. Has your ability been awakened?¡± Chen Ming asked.

    ¡°Oh, no. But no worries there. Ancient dispositions are easily awakened. I have been training hard recently, but I haven¡¯t done as well as you have, Chen Ming!¡± Zhou Hao sighed, unsmiling.

    ¡°No, no. I¡¯m doing whatever I¡¯m doing just to get by. You know what it¡¯s like for orphans like us!¡±

    Chen Ming simply smiled. He knew that Zhou Hao¡¯s father worked at the training center. Zhou Hao had also only awakened for a month ¨C he probably stillcked aptitude. There was no need to worry.

    Those thoughts put Chen Ming¡¯s mind at ease, and subsequently, his brows rxed as he turned his attention to Qin Feng.

    When he saw that his friend was dressed in the familiar faded jeans and a white T-shirt, his delight and pleasure were apparent.

    In school, he had alwayse second to Qin Feng, and Chen Ming had to pretend to be friendly despite having no intention of doing so. He only did it so he could covertly learn Zhou Hao and Qin Feng¡¯s secrets, hoping to undermine and beat them.

    ¡°Qin Feng, what have you been up to? I haven¡¯t seen you aroundtely. Did you get yourself a job?¡±

    Chen Ming could not help but feel smug as he posed the question.

    ¡°A job? Our awakening period hasn¡¯t evene yet. Is this the right time to talk about these things?¡± Qin Feng answered lightly. ¡°Sometimes, you never know who gets thestugh!¡± answered Qin Feng.

    ¡°Qin Feng,e over here!¡± A voice called out.

    Chen Ming froze.

    Qin Feng turned around and saw that it was Xiao Jing.

    She had taken the entire day off so she could attend the reunion. Being a garrison soldier now, she could not simply leave her post, but when she thought of Qin Feng attending the event, she felt the need toe.

    Xiao Jing never told anyone about her posting in the garrison.

    On the other table in the private room, Chen Ming and Zhao Yuanyuan wereughing and chatting away. Those who sat at the table were all from wealthy families. Even if their abilities or Ancient Disposition were not awakened, they could easily be gunners because of their influence. Of course, these upper-ss families were never ¡®fans¡¯ ofbat and would usually start a business in the colony. Without much trouble too.

    Qin Feng followed Xiao Jing to the other table; Zhou Hao went along with them.

    ¡°Hey, Qin Feng, since when were you so close to Xiao Jing? But then again, although she¡¯s not the prettiest around, I¡¯m sure she¡¯ll make an excellent wife and mother!¡±

    Qin Feng elbowed Zhou Hao, giving him the eye and indicating him to shut up.

    Xiao Jing¡¯s ancient warrior¡¯s abilities were awakened, so she could definitely hear Zhou Hao¡¯s jeering with her improved hearing abilities.

    ¡°Zhou Hao, it looks like things have been going well for you. Let¡¯spare notes when you¡¯re free. My ancient warrior¡¯s abilities have just been awakened, and I¡¯m short on a partner to practice with!¡± She said it under her breath but just loud enough for Zhou Hao to hear, a scowl visible on her face.

    ¡°Aw, is this still the Xiao Jing that I know?¡± Zhou Hao chuckled. ¡°Have mercy, your highness! Spare me!¡±

    Thankfully, the friendly jibe eased the tension between them.

    Soon, the dishes were served, and the ssmates chatted amiably with each other. Yet to be burdened by livelihood, everyone in the room was carefree and mostly at ease.

    Their utopia, however, was soon to be very rudely disrupted!

    Boom!!!

    A deafening explosion shook the entire hotel, its massive shockwave throwing tables into the air while hurling dishes and food all over the floor.

    The chandelier hanging on the ceiling fell and shattered into a million pieces together with the broken crockery.

    But that was not the most frightening part yet.

    The private room the reunion was held in was on the first floor. So, when the explosion happened, the wall facing the road blew out, crumbling and exposing the room to the streets outside with a gaping hole.

    ¡°Aahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!¡±

    Students were scattered all over, screaming in fear and confusion.

    Unfortunately, their terrified shrieks were met with peals ofughter from unknown assants, followed by another deafening rattle of machine guns firing.

    ¡°Take cover! All of you! Get down on your hands and knees! Hurry!¡± Xiao Jing shouted as she pulled out the mechanical weapon in her bag.

    Even though she did not have an energy gun, the machine should be enough.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Xiao Jing began to counterattack but was quickly overwhelmed by the enemy.

    Qin Feng responded instinctively. Without so much as a thought, he lifted the table made out of solid wood and hurled it towards the massive cavity in the wall.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    The table was perforated with a row of bullet holes.

    ¡°AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!¡±

    The people in the room screamed. Thankfully, with the table acting as a barricade, they managed to make a run for it.

    The person who was attacking them kicked the table aside in a fury, breaking the wood into tiny pieces.

    An Ancient Warrior!

    One kick revealed the enemy¡¯s strength.

    It was then that a whole group of them entered the room.

    They were all d in ck from head to toe, and the masks they had on their faces had a white spider printed on it.

    ¡°ck Spider!¡±

    ¡°The anti-human group!¡±

    Finally, everyone in the room understood the reason behind all themotion.

    ¡°Argh! I don¡¯t want to die! Help me! Help!!!¡±

    Everyone was screaming hysterically. Amid the chaos, a few lucky ones managed to run out of the door.

    Those who too far away from the exit could only crouch with their hands over their heads or lie t on the floor to avoid getting shot.

    Some students had already been hit and were screaming as they fell through the stairs.

    The gruesome situation turned Qin Feng extremely furious, fists clenched, and digging his nails into his palms!

    He took out the scroll holder from behind him and drew his Verdant Emperor Saber!

    Xiao Jing, on the other hand, had only just awakened, and shooting was not her strength. The firearm in her hand smashed to pieces.

    ¡°How dare you return fire! You even brought a gun? F*ck! What a waste of my time!¡± growled one of the gunmen.

    One of the ck Spider guys looked around and ordered, ¡°Take away all the girls and kill all the boys!¡±

 Chapter 41: Anti-Human Organization

    <h4>Chapter 41: Anti-Human Organization</h4>

    The already devastated students looked even more terrified by the second. Qin Feng did a quick sweep of the room and noticed that Chen Ming was gone.

    Zhao Yuanyuan was still where she was, looking a little sluggish as if she had had a little too much to drink. Panting and sweating, she sprawled limply over the floor and seemed to have lost all her energy.

    Qin Feng guessed that she was probably drugged.

    Good, very good!

    A group of huge guys barging in like wolves to snatch away these students who were no better armed than sheep! How could Qin Feng allow that to happen right in front of him?

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was unsheathed, its green glow emanated brightly, creating a menacing vibe.

    The ck Spider group had split up, and the guns they carried were only used to threaten the people in the room and not kill them.

    Considering they were all spread out, shooting at will would only injure theirrades. That would be a devastating oue for both parties!

    This was why gunners had a long string of limitations as the third ss.

    Since the attackers were not traveling in a group, it was an opportunity for Qin Feng to act.

    Gathering all his concentration, his internal force surged and leaped forward like an arrow!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was brandished, slitting into the victim¡¯s neck like a hot knife on butter! This rune equipment was made of beast king-grade materials, and the distinct silver light that it produced made it the stuff of legends.

    This was the very first time the de had tasted blood and had explicitly exhibited its robust aptitude.

    The cut was so smooth and unhindered, it looked as if a de hadn¡¯t run through the person¡¯s throat in the first ce. It was easier than cutting into tofu as if slicing through thin air.

    Qin Feng did not hesitate. He continued to swing the de aiming at the neck of another assant. When the enemy felt the de slitting his throat, he simply looked startled. It was fast. Too blinding fast. That bright shimmer of the de was thest thing he saw.

    The head of the guy whose neck Qin Feng had slit earlier slid off the neck, the hideous smile he carried enshrined permanently on his face.

    Blood sprouted out of the severed neck, reaching a meter high.

    Qin Feng continued to move across the room.

    ¡°Ancient Warrior! Be careful!¡±

    The guy in the ck Spider mask reacted quickly, grabbing the weapon he had on him and charging towards Qin Feng!

    Then, a knife suddenly appeared in front of Qin Feng, striking his Verdant Emperor Saber. The ck Spider guy had intended to ram Qin Feng, hoping hispanion could use the opportunity to attack and kill him.

    However, the Verdant Emperor Saber shaved off the ck Spider guy¡¯s de without so much as a sound. The knife was forged out of steel alloy and had cost the guy 20,000 yuan. Yet, in all its toughness, it was broken just like that.

    The ck Spider guy realized that the seemingly fragile object in Qin Feng¡¯s hand should not be underestimated.

    ¡°Silver light rune equipment!¡±

    ¡°How is this possible?!¡±

    ¡°F*ck! Aren¡¯t they just a group of students?¡±

    The ck Spider guys looked at each other, yelled and stormed towards Qin Feng.

    All of a sudden, Qin Feng found himself fighting the whole group.

    ¡°Hurry up and run! Run, you guys!¡± Zhou Hao shouted. He did a quick roll towards the two people Qin Feng killed earlier and took over their weapons. Unexpectedly, another hand also reached out next to him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Xiao Jing. Their eyes met for a moment. Both Zhuo Hao and Xiao Jing may not have Qin Feng¡¯s strength, but they were not going to sit around and wait to be captured.

    Their other ssmates still had not awakened, so they would not have been able to help anyway. It was evident that terror had filled their eyes, bodies unconsciously shaking like a leaf.

    Realizing that there was an opportunity to escape, many started fleeing.

    ¡°Son of a bitch! Grab that girl, and let¡¯s go!¡± bellowed one of the assants.

    As the leader of the group made up his mind to retreat, there was no longer any need for them to continue their act.

    Following themand of their boss, the rest of the ck Spider group ran towards Zhao Yuanyuan.

    It turned out the real target was Zhao Yuanyuan!

    ¡°Protect Zhao Yuanyuan!¡± Qin Feng cut in as he realized she was in danger. Although Zhou Hao and Xiao Jin did not understand what Qin Feng was doing, they did as they were told.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    All hell broke loose, and bullets started pattering the entire room like rain!

    Although the attackers all wore bulletproof vests, one hit to the head would inevitably prove fatal.

    ¡°F*ck! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± one of them screamed!

    But then all of a sudden, his body was involuntarily sucked by an unknown force!

    Qin Feng had finally found their weak spot.

    From the start of the attack, five people had already died under Qin Feng¡¯s watch. Right now, there were only seven more attackers left who had gathered in a circle around Qin Feng.

    A situation like this was no different from setting oneself up as a sacrificialmb. Of course, that was not the case at all for Qin Feng!

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡± he shouted!

    There was a deafening explosion followed by the Asteroid Assimtion activating!

    The internal forces of the ck Spider assants poured out and were drawn towards Qin Feng, causing them to lose control of their bodies totally.

    Then, Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber was seen traveling in a circr motion midair!

    Everything suddenly seemed utterly frozen in time.

    Plop! Plop! Plop!

    All seven heads fell to the ground and rolled around.

    Bright, fresh blood gushed out the decapitated fools, flooding the floor in a pool of red. Qin Feng¡¯s previously white shirt was now crimson.

    St! Plop!

    Having lost heads, the bodies copsed one by one with ominous thuds.

    With the death of the seven ck Spider members, the chaos died down, and a sense of peaceful relief filled the air once again. Then, out of nowhere, some remaining girls who did not manage to escape started crying.

    ¡°It hurts! Argghh...!!!¡±

    ¡°Ambnce! Call an ambnce!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m hit!!!¡±

    Qin Feng slowly set himself on the floor.

    ¡°Phew!¡± he exhaled in relief.

    The wails and cries of students were heartbreaking, as they finally heard the loud, shrill wail of sirens ¨C patrol and medical teams were here after a harrowing 10 minutes! Under the supervision of paramedics, all his ssmates were promptly fitted into the ambnces one after another. Qin Feng, on the other hand, gripped his fist tightly.

    ¡°Are there any casualties?¡± Qin Feng asked with a sullen face. The shock had slowly given way to anger, and he was furious.

    Zhou Hao and Xiao Jing had worked together, protecting their ssmates. Hearing his question, they were afraid that he was on the verge of exploding and quickly tried to pacify the situation. ¡°No. Everyone is fine. Only Yang Qian might need to be amputated!¡±

    Qin Feng shuddered at the thought.

    Yang Qian¡¯s injuries were severe. Her calves were repeatedly punctured by bullets, flesh hanging, and barely in one piece. Now that all that madness was over, it became clear to them that her wounds were rming, and her calf might really need to be severed.

    Out of thirty students, thirteen tragically lost their lives. The rest managed a close and lucky escape.

    Some wounded were sent to the hospital while others with lighter injuries were given on-the-spot treatment in the ambnce. The rest of the group squeezed into the patrol car so that they could be brought back to the station for statements and questioning, a group that included Chen Ming, who had gone into hiding when all hell broke loose.

    Chen Ming¡¯s eyes were zed over. He had not expected something so dramatic to take ce.

 Chapter 42: Chen Mingâ€™s Acting

    <h4>Chapter 42: Chen Ming¡¯s Acting</h4>

    The truth was, the spatial stabilization device malfunction that happened a month ago was a human-made incident. It was in the act of demonstration, during the operation, that they noticed Chen Ming¡¯s existence. He possessed a characteristic that the anti-human organization yearned very much ¨C selfish and hypocritical.

    So, in half a month, under the guise of a mercenary team to recruit Cheng Ming, they had sessfully included him in an illegal operation where they took out a well-known unit in Chengbei.

    Chen Ming, in fact, felt that they had done nothing wrong, believing instead that this was what it took to survive in the wild. An ending withoutws or morals, where the fist was absolute. Not only that, but Chen Ming also believed those who had not yet awakened were insignificant and worthless souls.

    Later on, the unit usedmoners as bait to attract ultra-beasts to conduct a wide-area attack. Chen Ming, unsurprisingly, did not oppose it. He, in fact, the one who came up with the n and even saw to its strict implementation, and he was very good at it.

    He truly felt that he was doing well in the team, and was very proud of himself for the merits he received for his contribution. He cared little about his blood-stained hands and charred heart. As long as he seeded, nothing else mattered.

    This time was supposed to be the team¡¯sst test, telling Chen Ming that an organization was paying big money to buy over ability users who had just awakened, about 30 million yuan all in all. If they seeded, each member of the unit would get 3 million. Chen Ming would get 3million! It was a pie in the sky. He immediately reacted and found his target ¨C Zhao Yuanyaun! All things considered, if he could have it his way, he would have preferred if they targeted Qin Feng or Zhou Hao.

    To his dismay, however, all the members of the team died, and the person who killed them all was Qin Feng.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t he say he wasn¡¯t awakened? How did he suddenly know martial arts? And how did he get rune equipment? And it even had silver light! Shoot! If they managed to identify the attackers, would they link them to me?

    Argh!!! Damn you, Qin Feng!¡±

    God, he hated Qin Feng so much! This Qin Feng who was looking at him right now. Hated that frozen, billowing gaze that sent a chill down Chen Ming¡¯s spine even though it was a warm summer.

    Chen Ming was petrified right now. He could not shake off the strange feeling that Qin Feng knew something.

    When the patrol team piled them up in the car, Chen Ming attempted to avoid Qin Feng¡¯s stare.

    Consequently, the patrol team questioned the students and took notes. In a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, the students finally calmed down, although mostly clueless about a lot of things.

    In contrast, Qin Feng was calmer and moreposed than most of his counterparts.

    This was supposed to be an unfortunate tragedy involving innocent intermediate academy graduates. Things, however, had taken an unexpected turn when one of the students actually singlehandedly eradicated an anti-human group.

    This whole thing was somewhat mystifying.

    ¡°Did you know that they were going toe?¡±

    ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Then why did you bring your weapon with you? You¡¯re just a fresh graduate. How is it that you have a rune equipment?¡±

    Qin Feng looked up and spotted the interviewer eyeing the rune equipment with a little too much interest.

    He knew all too well why that was.

    It was impossible that anyone wouldn¡¯t be tempted when they see a piece of silver-light rune equipment! The interviewer was obviously trying to find a connection that would somehow implicate Qin Feng.

    As a result, it would then be uncertain as to who was the rightful owner of the weapon.

    Qin Feng red at the man with sternposure. ¡°I was one of the victims. Just because I killed the assants, you want to conduct an investigation into me?¡±

    The look Qin Feng gave the interviewer was murderous.

    Whether in the previous or current life, Qin Feng had indeed killed quite several people. Right now, he looked most frightful in his blood-soaked clothes and frigid stare.

    The patrol officer suddenly found himself diffident, quickly replying, ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong. We just need to find some clues!¡± He feigned a cough and changed the topic. ¡°Has any of you offended anyone recently?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure...¡±

    ¡°Did the assant say anything?¡±

    ¡°They said to take all the girls and kill the boys!¡±

    The officer frowned as he took down Qin Feng¡¯s statement. He already had a theory in mind ¨C it was possibly a show of force.

    Qin Feng added, ¡°But after that, they insisted on capturing one girl. She¡¯s the only ability user in our group. I suspect they meant to do her no good!¡±

    The patrol officer¡¯s interest was piqued, but Qin Feng said no more. When asked if there was anything else, Qin Feng declined toment.

    In the end, they got no useful information from Qin Feng, but as it turned out, there were new developments in the case.

    ¡°These people might not be the ck Spiders. A few of them were fugitive criminals, and some of them had set up mercenary units in Chengbei.¡±

    ¡°Mm, alright. I got it!¡±

    Though the situation was getting worse, Qin Feng¡¯s strength had prevented his friends from suffering more severe injuries.

    ¡°Alright. Thank you for your cooperation. If we have any progress in the case, I will contact you again!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    then, Qin Feng left with the rest of his ssmates. Zhou Hao and Xiao Jing waited for him.

    ¡°Why did something like this happen?! Poor Yang Qian!¡± Xiao Jing gnashed her teeth. Yang Qian had just undergone a procedure, and Xiao Jing heard that she had lost a calf. Yang Qian was utterly devastated.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng stiffened.

    ¡°I have something to do. I need to go now!¡± Qin Feng said, leaving his friends behind.

    ¡°Ah, okay!¡± nodded Xiao Jing without raising any objections.

    ¡°Hey, lunatic! Don¡¯t forget the registration for the advanced academy is in three days!¡±

    Qin Feng waved, an indication that he already knew.

    Since was covered in unsightly blood, he found a quiet corner where he slipped off the t-shirt and threw it into a bin. He then had Xiaobai take out hisbat suit from his backpack.

    After he changed into the less bloody set, Qin Feng returned to the patrol office, finding a ce to hide. He waited quietly like a hunter stalking its prey. He did not have to wait long before someone walked out.

    It was Chen Ming!

    The patrol team was not ipetent. They had previously discovered that Chen Ming was connected to the assants, but he had ster acting skills. Having deliberated and assumed the worst-case scenario before his interview, he pretended to be shocked and distressed.

    ¡°No wonder they kept asking me if anyone I knew recently had their abilities awakened. I thought that the captain was looking to recruit ability users. You know, most of my ssmatese from underprivileged families, so I kept asking around. If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have told them anything! I... I¡¯m so sorry for what happened to them!¡±

 Chapter 43: Break A Leg

    <h4>Chapter 43: Break A Leg</h4>

    Chen Ming was weeping so inconsbly so much so the patrol team eventually decided that he couldn¡¯t have been a viable suspect but a regr teenager. Compared to him, Qin Feng, who had managed to kill ten armed men was the abnormal one!

    Cheng Ming, who had just tantly lied to the patrol team was still on edge; he kept having this feeling as if something was going to happen. Unfortunately, as he was worried about what the future would bring, he did not know was that danger was just around the corner!

    He entered an alley, lost in thoughts, considering any possible problems that might arise and how to ovee each and every one of them. His brain whirred about all kinds of scenarios, making sure to be thorough in case of any slip-up.

    Suddenly, everything went dark!

    It was pitch ck. It was the kind of darkness that disyed theplete absence of light. It was so disorientating to the point his five senses seemed to have disappeared.

    Out of nowhere, he felt a stabbing pain shooting up his body! Overwhelmed by the sudden shock, he lost his bnce and fell to the ground.

    ¡°AHHHHHH!¡± Chen Ming screamed so loud he lost his voice.

    ¡°Ahhh! My leg! Who is it? Who?!¡± he wheezed.

    His pats were hanging limply from his thigh! The lower half of his leg was gone, nowhere to be seen.

    .....

    Around the corner of the alley, Qin Feng flicked his rune weapon and slid it into his sheath.

    As for that severed leg, Qin Feng had already burned it to ash with burning mes created by his ability.

    ¡°Chen Ming! I want you to suffer!!!¡± he muttered. Somehow, hearing Chen Ming¡¯s helpless cries of pain pacified his anger.

    In the previous life, although Chen Ming was unaware of Qin Feng¡¯s kidnap, Qin Feng would forever remember his betrayal. Even then, it never crossed Qin Feng¡¯s mind that Chen Ming would be so perverse as to involve and endanger their ssmates.

    Qin Feng knew that the ck Spider group had nothing to do with this organization. He was now an A-tier elite, and it was easy for him to look for information about thatb in Chengbei Colony. s, after some time, he managed to find nothing.

    This organization was mysterious, as it was extremely powerful.

    Qin Feng decided to let Chen Ming live, to let him struggle for the rest of his life, and experience real despair!

    ¡°You should go through the pain that Yang Qian had to suffer. If anything ever happens to the others... hmph!!!¡± Qin Feng hissed and shook his head as he stormed away.

    Not only did he use his saber just now, but he also used a dark rune, which, unlike the Night Shade, was used solely against enemies. The released special ability would then envelope the enemy in pure, solid darkness.

    For the past few days in the wilderness, Qin Feng tried to look up information of dark ability users on the inte but only found scare bits which amounted to nothing. However, he subsequently thought of a solution, which was to search for dark creatures.

    In this world, there were only two sides: light and darkness. Dark creatures caused disasters. A good example was therge number of ultra-beasts. One of them was called the Nightsky Giant Beast. Darkness would follow it wherever it went, enveloping its surroundings in a darkness so deep, not a single hint of light was left. This would cause anybody in the vicinity to lose all their senses.

    Naturally, Qin Feng could not possess such a terrifying special ability. But if this ability could be reduced in size, shrunken, then perhaps Qin Feng might just be able to use it.

    Even though Qin Feng could not shift all 100 million runes, which made up the foundation, it would be sufficient if he could relocate just 1/10,000. That was precisely how the miniature version of a Darkness Dome was created!

    ¡°This special ability is overpowered. If there are no special abilities to repel it, the enemy would surely fall, and I can kill him as I please!¡± The thought of easy victories got Qin Feng really excited.

    That undergroundboratory in the outskirts of Chengbei, the matter that had lingered in his mind after his rebirth.

    He had vowed to exact revenge!

    ¡°I should go back to absorb inner force first!¡± he thought to himself.

    Qin Feng quickly hurried back to the hotel in his hovercar.

    Then, he sat in a meditative position and triggered his special ability.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    This time around, Qing Feng killed a total of twenty men. Among them, five were gunners. They were all strong but, unfortunately, nowhere near as good as Qin Feng when it came to closebat, especially not when he held the rune weapon!

    The other seven were Ancient Warriors who actually turned out to be at full strength. The most powerful among them was at G8-tier!

    Despite all that, Qin Feng absorbed all theirbat values.

    A total of forty-seven strands of inner force threads were wandering inside Qin Feng¡¯s Dantian, a chaotic mess capable of massive destruction. He could feel pain whenever his veins were expanded from absorbing the stream of inner force.

    Qin Feng clenched his jaw, persisting on despite the pain.

    Gradually, that pain turned into an itch that made him want to scratch at it badly. Then, very quickly after that, a stream of warmth passed through his body! His meridian was expanded once again! The next time, whether cultivating martial arts or releasing inner force, his speed and strength would significantly improve.

    At the same time, a surge of energy entered his body. His physical being was evolving again!

    G7-tier!

    Although merely a small improvement, it was still considered extremely fast.

    To go from a newly-awakened to G7-tier in a month was unprecedented. No one had ever done it before. After that, his forty-seven inner-force threads returned and formed thirteen thick and robust silk threads.

    ¡°That¡¯s a total of eighteen inner-force silk threads. Perhaps it¡¯s because I have absorption ability, that my Dantian and meridian had been modified and it can now house all eighteen strands. In essence, I don¡¯t even have to level up to an F-tier Ancient Warrior!¡±

    An Ancient Warriors¡¯ evolution was determined by inner-force cultivation and body strengthening.

    Due to Qin Feng being able to absorb others¡¯ inner force, and at the same time, strengthen his physique by absorbing from dead ultra-beasts, he was able to improve faster than most people in a concise amount of time.

    Right now, his inner force was twice that of a G9-tier ancient warrior¡¯s.

    As for his special ability, Qin Feng could now confidently challenge an F-tier ability user.

    As a result, it made him more courageous and sure-footed.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think that this undergroundboratory built right under Chengbei colony¡¯s nose would have an E-tier ability user. In fact...¡± Qin Feng looked at Xiaobai.

    When the Hell Stone created a spatial rift, the strength that Xiaobai disyed after evolution was awe-inspiring. It indicated that it was ready to ughter his enemies at that time!

    With Xiaobai¡¯s ability, they had nothing to be afraid of. They could leave whenever they liked.

    Until today, Qin Feng had never seen an ability user catch up to an ultra-beast with spatial ability.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    .....

    It waste at night and the Chengbei colony¡¯s gates were closed. Qin Feng did not mind it at all, though. He was d in ck from head to toe, and with his dark ability and Xiaobai¡¯s cooperation, they able to leave the colony quickly and without any trouble.

    When they were sure that the guards on the watchtower would not spot them, Qin Feng took out the hovercar from Xiaobai¡¯s space and swiftly left.

    ¡°Xiaobai, the time for revenge hase!¡± The expression on Qin Feng¡¯s face was murderous.

    Xiaobai seemed to understand him; a tinge of redness appeared in its dark eyes.

 Chapter 44: Raiding the Laboratory

    <h4>Chapter 44: Raiding the Laboratory</h4>

    There was aplete stillness under the dark sky, and a lonebat vehicle hovered above the reed marshes.

    The car was covered in beast repent powder, the one that frogmen and ultra-beasts were repulsed by, allowing Qin Feng to conduct his operation without disturbance.

    Soon, two people appeared on the river bank.

    ¡°Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!¡± Xiaobai called out before a silver light appeared.

    It was a space rune!

    Whoosh!

    In a blink of an eye, Qin Feng and Xiaobai disappeared.

    The next moment, the putrid smell of blood and rot overpowered their senses. They had reappeared in the sewer pipe, and they did not have to swim!

    Such was the power of Xiaobai¡¯s space ability.

    Qin Feng put on a gas mask, and Xiaobai jumped onto Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°Chirp!¡±

    Xiaobai exerted his strength again and the both of them reappeared in a ce above the spot where they first met, the indoor area of the garbage disposal zone.

    It was already midnight, but a few people were still watching over the ce. When Qin Feng suddenly appeared, the startled worker instinctively pulled out his weapon.

    Swoosh!

    A bright silver sh struck his throat before he could react.

    As silent as a pin drop, his head was separated from his body, sliding off without a sound!

    Qin Feng took a good look across the room. In his previous life, when he was here, he was unconscious the whole time and had no idea what the underground organization looked like. Then, when he was finally strong enough and came back, the entire ce was already in ruins.

    He could see now that it was a deserted underground factory that had been recently renovated. It was a lot cleaner and more organizedpared to previously. Stacked in crates were a massive supply of medical equipment. Qin Feng pushed open a door and could not help but gape at whaty before him!

    It was a storage room.

    Lined to the ceiling were cages filled with liquid supplements and tranquilizers in ss bottles, with some containing various types of ultra-beasts. There were even humans among them.

    But those people had already be specimens. Qin Feng could sense that the person he was looking at had been long dead. The only thing preserving him was the formalin he was doused in. An ultra-beasts¡¯ ability core as big as an egg was nted on the man¡¯s forehead, looking as if he had a third eye on him!

    ¡°Gah!!! Disgusting!¡±

    Qin Feng clenched his jaws at the ungodly abomination.

    He looked around at the ultra-beasts around him. They came in different shapes and sizes but it was apparent that these creatures had been put through unspeakable torture. He decided that none of them would be useful to him, realizing that he did not need any for the moment.

    Quietly, Qin Feng slipped into the hallway. With his dark ability, no one could see him, and the surveince camera could not capture any sign of him either. Qin Feng wafted along like an invisible spirit in the dead of the night.

    As he walked, he suddenly heard the voices of two men. He froze in his steps, listening in.

    ¡°Has all the information been collected?¡±

    ¡°Yes. I can¡¯t believe we have to move so soon!¡±

    ¡°We have to bloody move, all right! those dumbasses got killed by an Ancient Warrior student who had only recently awakened!¡±

    ¡°That student really hasn¡¯t awakened his abilities yet? If only it had, I¡¯m sure he could make a really good subject for our experiments!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing to discover about Ancient Warriors. They are not the ultimate stage in the evolution of human beings. Abilities are the mysteries that need solving! Our ability conversion technology will seed soon! Time to go. We shouldn¡¯t stay in this small ce.¡±

    Evidently, these people were getting ready to leave!

    Qin Feng was thrilled. He knew he came in the nick of time or he would have missed them again.

    In his previous life, he came back toote for revenge. The whole ce was in ruins, and he could tell that it was all a deliberate act!

    The conversation between the two told Qin Feng that the experiment was sessful in the previous life, and they had only left after a breakthrough. Now that Qin Feng disrupted their rhythm and killed their ability user, they were forced to abandon the ce although the experiment wasn¡¯t yet a sess.

    ¡°Xiaobai!¡± Qin Feng called out.

    Xiaobai immediately jumped into action! Qin Feng did not even have to say anything when a bright silver light enveloped them.

    The space rune was activated!

    The securely locked door of theboratory waspletely useless, as Qin Feng and Xiaobai reappeared behind it.

    ¡°Unfortunately, you won¡¯t be leaving!¡± Qin Feng sneered, pointing the Verdant Emperor Saber at the two men.

    The men turned around to face Qin Feng. One of them was a forty-year-old in a whiteb coat, every researcher¡¯s signature costume. He was a bag of pale skin and bones, and dark bags under his eyes which gave off the look of a crazed scientist.

    The other one was in his fifties with a big, round potbelly and an unsightly pugnacious beef-face. The suit that he was in looked really expensive. Only business executives in the colony could afford this ss of garment.

    Startled by the unwanted surprise, they both stared at Qin Feng, dumbfounded.

    ¡°Who are you? How the hell did you get in?¡± the scientist shouted.

    ¡°Me? Well, I am the student you were talking about. That one who killed your useless bunch of idiots!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    The moment they heard this, they realized that disaster was imminent! The businessman in the suit hurriedly reached for the gun strapped to his waist.

    Again, before anyone could react, a blinding silver sh shone the area before the man¡¯s arm fell to the ground with a thud!

    ¡°Arghhhhhh!¡± he screamed in agony at the sight of his own decapitated limb.

    The man¡¯s cries had alerted the guards outside theb, but this didn¡¯t bother Qin Feng too much.

    Theb door was no ordinary door and could only be opened from the inside. It was going to take some time for whoever was on the other side to break in.

    Instead, he started questioning the men. ¡°Now, tell me! What is the purpose of all this? What organization do you belong to?¡±

    With the Verdant Emperor Saber in hand raised and on the ready, Qin Feng pounced on the guy in the white coat who was now trembling in terror.

    ¡°We... we were just trying toplete a great experiment!¡±

    ¡°Great?¡± Qin Feng felt likeughing.

    He failed to see any greatness in these repugnant trials. All he saw was these researchers¡¯ debauched perverseness!

    With a smirk, Qin Feng swung his Verdant Emperor Saber again and sliced off the researcher¡¯s arm.

    ¡°Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!¡± The man screamed as his face waspletely drained of color. Then, when Qin Feng pointed the Verdant Emperor Saber directly at his throat, he fell silent and shook like a leaf. His fear was almost tangible in the air.

    Qin Feng was wearing a gas mask, so the man was unable to see his face. In the researcher¡¯s eyes, though, Qin Feng looked like a demon.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how great you guys are. But why do you want to hurt my ssmate?¡± Qin Feng pressed. He was also asking this question for himself.

    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you! I¡¯ll tell you! Don¡¯t kill me! Please!!!¡± With one limb missing and blood freely pumping out, the man sensed death looming above him.

    Although he knew deep down that Qin Feng was not about to let him go, a part of him believed that if he told the truth, Qin Feng would spare him somehow. Even if he was going to kill him, at least it wouldn¡¯t be now.

    He just needed to stall for time so that when that person finally came, they would not have to die!

 Chapter 45: Backstage Manipulator

    <h4>Chapter 45: Backstage Maniptor</h4>

    With that thought in mind, the researcher quickly exined, ¡°We are have been studying how to turn humans into ability users, and after countless experiments, we found a way to transfer abilities. We need to perform the transnt the ability core while it¡¯s still alive. However, mature ability cores are sorge that once they leave the body of the beast, they would copse, so...¡±

    ¡°So, you¡¯re using ability users who have just awakened?!¡± Qin Feng continued, finally able to rify the reason for what happened to him in his previous life.

    He was just unlucky! It was by sheer coincidence that he became theirb rat.

    ¡°Ye... Yes...¡± the man answered while profusely nodding, too afraid to infuriate Qin Feng.

    Nevertheless, Qin Feng¡¯s fury was only escting as the second went by. ¡°You haven¡¯t answered my second question!¡± Qin Feng smirked. ¡°Those people, your people, were wearing ck Spider masks, but I know that you are not ck Spiders!¡±

    Both of Qin Feng¡¯s hostages hesitated to answer the question, so Qin Feng brandished his knife again at the man in the suit.

    ¡°Ahh! Fine! I¡¯ll tell you! I¡¯ll tell you!¡± the man shouted in a panic, too afraid to disoblige Qin Feng, who was behaving like a ruthless madman. ¡°We¡¯re not ck Spiders! In fact, we¡¯re not even an anti-human group either. It¡¯s all very cloak-and-daggerish business. Until today, all we know is the code-name of the organization. ¡®Z¡¯ is what they call it!¡±

    ¡°Be more specific!¡± Qin Feng barked.

    ¡°I... I don¡¯t know any more than that. I just know the code name. Our group is extensive ¨C we almost always get high-level ultra-beasts for our experiments!¡± he quivered, making sure to add in thatst bit in the hopes to scare off Qin Feng.

    ¡°Z...¡±

    It appeared that Qin Feng had never heard of them before. That one letter was too simple, and it could have meant so many things. He looked at the researcher fiercely, noticing the fear in his eyes. The guy had no reason to lie.

    Still, Qin Feng decided to throw him over the edge a little, threatening, ¡°Since that¡¯s all you know, you have my permission to die now!¡±

    Then, Qin Feng raised his Verdant Emperor Saber high above his head, ready to unleash deadly blow.

    ¡°No, no!!! Don¡¯t kill me... please! I¡¯ll tell you a secret!¡±

    The man in the suit squirmed at the sight of the knife.

    Qin Feng¡¯s arm froze mid-air, eyes narrowed. ¡°If it¡¯s another piece of meaningless information, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t grant you another chance to keep breathing!¡±

    ¡°No! No! I¡¯ll tell you what you need to know!¡± the man promised. The truth was he knew quite a few secrets, and now seemed like the best time for him to reveal some.

    ¡°Even though we¡¯re attached to Organization Z, we have vast resources of manpower for research. We have one station in every colony or city, where we trade with their leaders constantly. The attack on your ssmates was not our original intention. It was only because the other party kept urging us to hurry up!¡±

    At that, Qin Feng¡¯s heart did a somersault. ¡°Who is this ¡®other party¡¯ you¡¯re talking about?¡±

    As he pressed the de against the man¡¯s neck, the man gulped hard before answering. ¡°It¡¯s the deputy mayor of Chengbei!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s forehead creased. Then a light bulb went off in his head!

    ¡°So, it¡¯s him!¡±

    An intensely bitter feeling of contempt and rancor filled him. Chengbei was arge colony, but Chengyang had another name for it ¨C Chengbei district, managed by two district mayors, three generals, and two members of parliament. The seven of them made up the most powerful authority in Chengbei. Deputy mayor Lin Cheng was an E-tier elect, and he had a son named Lin Kai.

    ¡°Which is to say that Lin Zheng wants his own son to be an ability user?¡± Qin Feng pressed further.

    ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± the man in the suit replied. ¡°We were originally experimenting on ultra-beasts. But their awakening periods were irregr. This happened to be awakening season, so we came up with the idea to grab an ability user. Everything I said is true! Without the support of people like that, how could we have set up aboratory so close to Chengbei? Even if we were found out someday, we could always im we¡¯re a legitimate business!¡±

    ¡°Great! Very good!¡± Qin Feng muttered through gritted teeth.

    That meant that in his previous life, his ability had been given to Lin Kai! It was that Lin Kai, a guy that was just another prodigal son of a wealthy family. During the awakening season, he suddenly exploded with ability, not just any ability, but the extremely rare dark ability! After he became an ability user, his strength grew at an astounding rate and subsequently became really powerful. However, the things he did were abominable, causing turmoil and mayhem in Chengbei like a disease, a pestilence ravaging a cornfield. To make matters worse, all of those assets he had were taken from Qin Feng!

    ¡°No wonder!¡± Qin Feng wished he could rip a deep one into Lin Kai¡¯s throat that very moment!

    ¡°Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!¡±

    Xiaobai, who had perched on Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder, suddenly cried out! Strangely, the man in the suit grinned in delight.

    Without so much as a warning, a silver light shed, and Qin Feng and Xiaobai suddenly found themselves in another corner of the room.

    Rumble!!!

    There was a deafening tremor, and theboratory door burst open, crashing down right at the spot where Qin Feng stood a second ago! The researcher and the guy in the suit were literally blown away!

    Unfortunately, they did not survive the st. The people they hoped woulde rescue them were the ones who did not care if they were dead or alive. The hole where the door once stood was engulfed in smoke, but Qin Feng could roughly make out the form of the intruder.

    He looked to be about in his mid-twenties and was wearing a ck and greenbat uniform. On his chest was a badge with an ¡®F1¡¯ printed on it, and he was holding a tactical energy cannon.

    A gunner!

    The young man raised the tactical energy cannon, looked through the sights, and aimed at Qin Feng.

    Boom!!!

    The cannon had discharged.

    ¡°Chirp!¡± Xiaobai cried out, again instantly sending Qin Feng to another location.

    Boom!!

    The explosion was deafening.

    ¡°Shit! The perception ability!¡± Bing a gunner did not necessarily require a very high disposition, but once someone became a gunner, they had to undergo a unique strengthening process that enhanced their ability of perception. So, even if Qin Feng was hiding in a corner surrounded by thick clouds of smoke, the intruder was still able to attack him with confidence.

    Evading an F-ss gunner¡¯s perception was not easily achievable, to sat the least. To the gunner, there was nowhere Qin Feng could hide.

    ¡°Oh?¡± This is interesting!¡± the gunner suddenly chuckled. He did not expect Qin Feng to actually run.

    His amusement, however, quickly disappeared, and his face darkened.

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± he asked with eyes asrge as marbles.

    ording to his perception, Qin Feng was already in the corridor. But he had already blocked the door. How in god¡¯s name did Qin Feng manage to get away?

    Could he walk through walls now?!

    Simultaneously, Qin Feng was looking down at the floor, dumbfounded. There was a body lying by his feet. It was one of the guys from theb.

    Who killed him? Was it that gunner?

    But why? Was this an indication that he was not an ally of theboratory?

 Chapter 46: Friend or Foe?

    <h4>Chapter 46: Friend or Foe?</h4>

    The other guy did not give Qin Feng a chance to exin himself before heunched another attack!

    Qin Feng was running at maximum speed around the corner, when...

    Bam!!!

    A violent explosion suddenly went off behind him, throwing up a massive cloud of dust and rubble.

    A potent weapon the likes of a high-powered energy gun could kill its target with a single blow. Even if Qin Feng wore rune armor, the st could still kill him as his head was unprotected.

    ¡°If you attack again, I will counter you!¡± Qin Feng shouted as he looked to the ground, his fists clenched tightly.

    However, the answer to his threat was all but another deafening explosion!

    The entire ce was engulfed with choking smog, and the roof was starting to crumble with debris falling.

    That really annoyed him. ¡°I¡¯m also here to clean up theb! We¡¯re on the same side, you dumbass! Why are you still attacking?!¡±

    At that, the assault immediately stopped.

    ¡°Who do you work for?¡± The assant asked from across the hallway.

    Of course, Qin Feng did not know how to answer the question.

    Who was he working for? He worked for no one.

    ¡°Ah, forget it. Whoever it is, there¡¯s one thing I know for sure ¨C I won¡¯t let you escape!¡± The personughed hysterically and raised his energy cannon again.

    Qin Feng was outraged. The gears in his mind ground and whirred like a machine. This guy¡¯s n was obviously to annihte theboratory in its entirety, leaving no one in it alive. That may have seemed to line up with Qin Feng¡¯s intentions, but thetter part sure had a more homicidal ring to it.

    On top of that, the man in the suit looked delighted to see the intruder, as if help had finally arrived. Instead, the intruder went ahead and killed him as if they didn¡¯t know each other.

    That instant, a thought struck Qin Feng as he remembered somebody in his mind.

    ¡°You work for the deputy mayor!¡± Qin Feng said in a bitter tone.

    ¡°Hehe, so what if you guessed, right? Must you know everything? What is the point?¡± the man responded before pulling the trigger again.

    Qin Feng was right. This man did indeed work for the deputy mayor. As a matter of fact, this was his verypetent subordinate; an F-tiered gunner named He Li.

    G-tier aptitude users were the dominant force in Chengbei. For this reason, those who were F-tier, like Xue Xingfu, could only assume the office of captain. It was, however, a position that should never be underestimated, as they were known to umte wealth that most would never imagine having.

    Even some of the magnates with a worth of up to tens of millions had to associate themselves with Xue Xingfu.

    It was a well-known fact that tens of millions weren¡¯t nearly enough to raise an F-tier ability user.

    ¡°Since you don¡¯t n to let me off the hook. I won¡¯t either!¡± Qin Feng grinned. Just because the guy was an F-tier gunner, it did not mean that he had the license to be so arrogant. In his haughtiness, he didn¡¯t realize that chances were, Qin Feng wasn¡¯t inferior to him.

    ¡°Xiaobai!¡± Qin Feng called out softly.

    Upon hearing its name, Xiaobai released the space element, and Qin Feng vanished into thin air!

    ¡°Again?!¡± the gunner gasped, unable to fathom how Qin Feng managed the feat. Not to be dismissed, he had also prepared himself mentally and was alert of his surroundings.

    Before he knew it, Qin Feng had reappeared behind him!

    He Li immediately detected Qin Feng¡¯s presence but could not use his energy cannon because the distance between them was too small. If he were to fire the weapon, he would have ced himself in the line of fire as well. On top of that, the energy cannon was hefty and sluggish to operate.

    But then again. How could He Li not possess his own trump card?

    Speaking of which, the energy cannon in his hand vanished and in its ce were two handguns!

    Swiftly, he turned around and fired!

    Pow! Pow! Pow!

    Zing! Zap! Plonk!!! Qin Feng wielded his Verdant Emperor Saber, ricocheting every shot, and none of the bullets hit him.

    A look of genuine surprise shed across He Li¡¯s face. ¡°Silverlight Rune Equipment!¡±

    Of course, He Li knew that it was not just the rune equipment that was powerful, but his opponent¡¯s defense was swift and critous as well.

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart was also drumming wildly inside his chest.

    ¡°Spatial Rune Equipment!¡± he screamed!

    Previously, the energy cannon that had vanished into thin air was the work of the Spatial Rune Equipment. That was not good news for Qin Feng.

    But then again, this was a very normal thing. Apetent gunner would choose to have a weapon carrying Spatial Rune Equipment over powerful weapons, which was why only the rich had the means to be aplished in this profession.

    By He Li, having a Spatial Rune Equipment meant that he was carrying a lot of weapons with him. Who knew what he would take out next?

    Qin Feng remained vignt, not out of fear, but out of respect for his opponent. In all honesty, though, he was fired up ¨C fired up to the point he could kill He Li!

    ¡°Darkness ising!¡± Qin Feng eximed frostily as he set his abilities in motion.

    Soon, a darkness cker than death enveloped He Li.

    ¡°What is this?!¡± He Li suddenly lost all vision. Light itself seemed to have extinguished.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber had struck again!

    He Li bolted towards Qin Feng. Even though he was unable to determine his exact location, he was able to block off his path.

    Qin Feng advanced yet again.

    Closebat was the best way to counteract a gunner.

    With his enemy at close proximity, Qin Feng drove his knife forwards and pulled downwards, a strike that could easily split a person in half.

    But He Li had hastily fallen back, tossing five pieces of something that looked like bottle caps.

    ¡°EMP!¡±

    Qin Feng ducked and ran for cover as fast as a well-oiled piston.

    The EMP had locked onto Qin Feng¡¯s location, but it was not fast enough.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    A series of powerful explosions ensued, the shockwave throwing Qin Feng into the air!

    Knocked out a for a moment, he quickly came to, shaking off his ringing ears. Hisbat suit was damaged, and he could feel something sharp impaled deep into his arm.

    He Li fared no better either.

    Swathed in Qin Feng¡¯s darkness, He Li¡¯s reflexes were significantly inhibited. Although he had managed to dodge Qin Feng¡¯s deadly attack, the tip of the saber managed to snag him.

    Rrriiipp!

    The de had sliced through hisbat suit as if it was made up of old rags.

    The purple rune armor underneath made a loud screeching noise.

    He Li reached out to touch his back and felt ridges running along the surface of his skin. A sharp stabbing pain shot down his chest all the way to his abdomen.

    Realizing that his enemy¡¯s knife could seriously hurt him, He Li made a swift decision, setting his submachine gun in rapid-fire and sprayed bullets across the room!

    Duck! Qin Feng rolled over away from where he was standing and concealed himself in the shadows. Under the veil of darkness, He Li¡¯s perception was greatly reduced, and for a time, he was unable to track where Qin Feng was.

    Qin Fengid low, thenunched into another attack.

    As soon as that happened, He Li could sense his enemy again and was able to fight back.

    They were now in a deadlock, and neither one was about to give in.

    The rundown undergroundboratory was like a demolished wreck.

    Rumble!

    Another wall copsed! The whole ce was in tremors, shuddering and creaking as if the ground was about to cave in at any moment.

    But neither one retreated. Unless one killed the other, they were not going to stop.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see how much perception you can use!!!¡± He Li roared.

 Chapter 47: Ability User Versus Gunner

    <h4>Chapter 47: Ability User Versus Gunner</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s body flickered, and bright light poured out of his eyes!

    ¡°Perception? Hehe!¡±

    Qin Feng was an Ancient Warrior in his previous life. So, his first response when fighting against a gunner was to sneak up to the enemy and decapitate him.

    But the gunner¡¯s mindless prattling reminded him that he had another identity ¨C an ability user!

    Why did he even have to fight the other guy like this?

    Sometimes, having lots of experience could turn out to be detrimental.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Another series of powerful sts ensued!

    He Li unleashed his strength again. In reality, he looked terrible, was panting heavily, and his forehead was drenched in sweat.

    Even with the darkness confining him, He Li could sense that Qin Feng was only a G7-tier aptitude user. The weapon Qin Feng had, however, was extremely potent, which was why He Li didn¡¯t dare to get any closer.

    One of the gunner¡¯s outstanding problems was that weapons were a hassle to lug around. Not only that, but ammunition was also limited. And here, He Li was running low on ammo.

    It was then that He Li noticed that Qin Feng was entirely still. The darkness that had covered his eyes had dispersed as well, and he could finally see.

    The lights hanging from the ruined ceiling of theboratory were flickering on and off, with the frayed wires crackling and zapping in bluish-white light.

    ¡°Did I guess it right? His perception was exhausted?¡± He Li was pleased. ¡°But this kid¡¯s ability was not bad, after all. I¡¯ve never seen anything like it! I might as well hand him over to the deputy mayor. We¡¯ll just have to conduct the experiment ourselves!¡±

    He Li grinned at those thoughts.

    Hidden in the shadows, Qin Feng moved stealthily and steadily towards He Li, looking for a favorable position to strike.

    Suddenly, everything slowed down; his perception exploded into action!

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    Furious ck mes twirled like a whirlwind and poured down from up high!

    He Li was caught off-guard. It was all but toote for him to try and make a run for it!

    ¡°AHHHHHHHHHHH!¡± He Li screamed in agony as mes overwhelmed him. He thrashed wildly, but the fire followed him, burning away every inch of his flesh with no respite and leaving no part untouched.

    He Li had literally be a human torch.

    After a while, the screaming fizzled out into a croak, then a wheezing hiss. His struggle gradually came to a stop, and he copsed with a thud!

    ¡°Extinguish!¡± Qin Feng waved his hand, and the ck mes went out.

    He Li¡¯s body had been burnt beyond recognition. Only apletely charred lump of flesh remained.

    Just like that, an F-tier gunner had been put to death in what was left of an advancedboratory.

    It was over, for now at least.

    A rush of lethargy suddenly flooded Qin Feng¡¯s mind and body.

    ¡°Chirp!¡± Xiaobai jumped out of a corner. Qin Feng had disallowed it to participate in the fight, and when the little creature saw the wounds that riddled Qin Feng¡¯s body, it leaped onto his shoulder and licked his face.

    ¡°Aww... stop messing about, Xiaobai!¡± Qin Feng lovingly stroked Xiaobai, which was covered in ayer of dust.

    Turning around, Qin Feng held back his smile and approached He Li¡¯s body.

    Thebat suit was burnt and destroyed, but then, something else caught his attention ¨C the purple armor. As Qin Feng reached out to touch it, parts of He Li crumbled into ash. He then picked it up.

    ¡°Hmm. I might have actually damaged it!¡± Qin Feng studied the gashes on the armor. Undoubtedly, the Verdant Emperor Saber was not an item to be underestimated.

    ¡°I can probably get some experts to fix it; then I could sell it for some money!¡± Qin Feng muttered as he bagged the armor.

    He Li had other protective items on him, such as his hand and leg guards. These were to protect therger areas of his body from injuries. They were all Bluelight Rune Equipment, and Qin Feng took them all without question.

    ¡°Spatial Rune Equipment!¡± Among the charred remains that was still smoking, Qing Feng spotted the unmistakable silver glow of the ring.

    Qin Feng infiltrated the ring with his consciousness and saw that inside it was a storage space, much like a tiny room that measured 2 meters by 1 meter and was about a meter in height.

    It wasn¡¯t vast by any standards, but inside, about a dozen weapons were neatly arranged. They were all pretty expensive weapons and worth more than 8 million yuan altogether!

    Of course, the Spatial Rune Equipment was the most valuable item of them all. A fine specimen could cost at least 10 million yuan!

    Be that as it may, Qin Feng did not need rune equipment. He could just sell off the ring. But the problem was, to whom?

    Qin Feng transferred all the weapons from the ring into Xiaobai¡¯s space, then took out a few bombs with a timed-fuse.

    He Li had prepared these, especially for theboratory. Now that he was dead, it was up to Qin Feng toplete the task.

    After all, for his own safety, he did not want any word about thisboratory to get out either.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng instructed his pet.

    Xiaobai teleported, bringing Qin Feng along! In a blink of an eye, they were back in the wilderness again.

    Qin Feng pushed a button on the remote control, and a loud explosion followed. The ground underneath them sank, and then silence as if nothing had happened.

    It was in the middle of nowhere. No one would be none the wiser.

    Although he tore down theboratory that had damaged him in his previous life and found bits of information that could help find out the people behind it, Qin Feng found himself facing an even more baffling mystery. He might be able to discover more from the deputy mayor, but right now, he wasn¡¯t nearly strong enough to confront him directly.

    ¡°The enemy of my enemy is a friend. I don¡¯t mind having one more powerful helper!¡± Qin Feng had an idea.

    He took off the 30,000 yuan T3bat outfit he was wearing, nowpletely damaged and in an irreparable state. After taking out his luggage from Xiaobai¡¯s space, he realized that he had only two more sets of clothes left.

    ¡°It¡¯s time to buy some!¡± Qin Feng grumbled in frustration to himself. It was hard to avoid damaging clothing during those violent skirmishes, and he had quickly used up everything in his keep.

    By the time they returned to the colony, morning had already broken.

    Qin Feng wasted no time getting in touch with the person he had not contacted for nearly a month now.

    ¡°Captain Xue, I have something in hand! I wonder if you¡¯d be interested?¡±

    .....

    Half an hourter, a bleary-eyed and yawning Xue Xingfuined, ¡°Why is this kid always up so early? Young people really try too hard!¡±

    Of course, Qin Feng didn¡¯t tell him what he was selling. Soon, a hovercar stopped in front of Xue Xingfu. To an F-tier ability user, luxury cars like that were nothing unusual. After a closer inspection, Xue Xingfu¡¯s eyes became as wide as saucers.

    Qin Feng climbed out of the driver¡¯s seat carrying a backpack. He walked up to Xue Xingfu¡¯s car.

    Xue Xingfu was still dazed, taking it all in.

    Qin Feng knocked on the window, startling the driver.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯ve been earning big money recently, huh!¡± greeted Xue Xingfu, a bitter sensation clearly tingling the back of his tongue. This young man had purchased a hovercar, an asset that must have been really expensive.

    And all of this even before he sold anything to Xue Xingfu!

 Chapter 48: Changing To a New House

    <h4>Chapter 48: Changing To a New House</h4>

    ¡°Those things aren¡¯t suitable for you!¡±

    The rat tsunami incident in the ntation was now on the official records, and Xue Xingfu benefitted nothing from it. Also, it was not fitting to just give him all that energy cores, either.

    ¡°Do they suit me this time?¡± Xue Xinfu¡¯s chubby cheeks bobbed upwards as he smiled eagerly.

    ¡°That and... I also discovered a secret!¡±

    ¡°What is it?¡± Xue Xingfu did not know what it was, but his body stiffened in anticipation.

    ¡°What do you know about that terror attack yesterday?¡± Qin Feng asked in a low voice.

    Xue Xingfu frowned. ¡°I know bits and pieces here and there, but that¡¯s it. Matters like these are not within our jurisdiction,¡± Xue Xingfu was careful to reply.

    The area surrounding Zheng Yuan Hotel was actually under the deputy mayor¡¯s administration, but he didn¡¯t want to make it seem too obvious. On top of that, there were so many people in the ss that it would be hard for them to carry out their n. Otherwise, if they had known that Qin Feng was the one who sabotaged it, they would have pounced on him long before this.

    Of course, they were actually nning to hunt down Qin Feng under the guise of night, hoping to find some excuses for his capture. Unfortunately, he did not return to the hotel. Qin Feng could sense the danger even as he digested Xue Xinfu¡¯s words.

    ¡°I brought this!¡± Qin Feng took out hismunicator. Not wanting to miss a single thing, he recorded everything he came across.

    A conversation began to y:

    [No, no, don¡¯t kill me. I¡¯ll tell you a secret!]

    [If it¡¯s another meaningless piece of information, I¡¯m afraid won¡¯t be giving you another chance to keep breathing!]

    [No. No... The attack on your ssmates wasn¡¯t our original intention. It¡¯s only because the other party kept urging us to hurry up.]

    [Who is this other party you¡¯re talking about?]

    [It¡¯s the deputy mayor of Chengbei!]

    Hearing those things, Xue Xingfu¡¯s eyes grew full and round.

    ¡°How reliable is this? Who were you interrogating? Why did they say that the deputy mayor was the one who instigated it? If this recording is all you have, not only will it not benefit you in any way, but you might even get dragged deeper into the mess. This is no joke, you know!¡±

    Xue Xingfu fired one question after another at Qin Feng. Despite his plump, good-natured face, he was actually an extremely meticulous man. Otherwise, he would never have be the profiteer he was in the previous life. A fact worth mentioning was that even when he became an influential businessman, he remained an F-tier elect. To achieve such a status, it was no doubt he had powerful allies by his side.

    In the beginning, it was the actual district head of Chengbei, an E-tier elect called Zheng Yang.

    Xue Xingfu drew a deep breath, returning some color to his face. He looked at Qin Feng sympathetically. ¡°You¡¯re too weak now!¡±

    Those who had intimate knowledge of secrets but were weak almost always died terrible deaths.

    ¡°Me? Weak?¡± Qin Feng looked amused.

    He then raised his hand and revealed the spatial rune that was in it, followed by two rune equipment¨C the purple rune armor and arm guards that belonged to He Li.

    ¡°These are what I wish to sell. Of course, if you want the spatial rune, I can also sell it to you!¡± Qin Feng wiggled his finger.

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.

    ¡°Where... Where did all of thise from?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s smile evaporated when he realized what Xue Xingfu was actually asking.

    ¡°I went out yesterday and discovered this hiddenboratory in the wilderness. Because the experiments they conducted vited the human treaty, I interrogated them out of curiosity. I didn¡¯t think it¡¯d be such a big secret. That ssmate of mine who was attacked was supposed to be theirb rat! Also, ording to the person I questioned, the deputy mayor¡¯s son Lin Kai has just received his awakening injection this year, but it turned out to be nothing, not even an Ancient Warrior with disposition would be sessful!¡±

    There were only three days left until the awakening season was over. Even though one should never give up hope until thest second, there was no way the trash of society, Lin Kai, would ever awaken. All he ever did was eat, drink, look for whores, and gamble his life away. He was only sixteen but had already wasted away. It would be a disgrace to the heavens if he awakened.

    ¡°They are experimenting on transferring abilities?¡± Xue Xingfu got the gist of it.

    Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, an deep, deathly seriousness within it. ¡°Are you interested in it as well, Captain Xue?¡±

    Sensing spite in Qin Feng¡¯s voice, Xue Xingfu quickly put an end to the subject. ¡°This tantly goes against the human covenant. I would never stand by dishonest means!¡±

    When the rift appeared back then, all hell broke loose on earth. And ever since the appearance of ability users in that insanebat state, they became an rming threat. The officials werepelled against their will, or perhaps,pelled by their desire to possess such great strength. To retain their power, they conducted numerous heinous experiments where ability users were captured. And although all these things were done in the dark, they were somehow exposed, triggering a mutiny. In the end, this was why each colony had its own leadership.

    At the same time, each colony was obligated to guarantee that no more experiments such as these were to be conducted. Everyone was to be cremated on the spot to avoid them from being used as test subjects.

    Qin Feng answered sharply, ¡°It¡¯s best not to use it!¡±

    Xue Xingfu quickly changed the subject, ¡°He... you continue... continue what you were going to say.¡±

    Qin Feng then shared a little information.

    ¡°Dang! You interrupted me. I almost forgot!¡± Qin Feng scoffed. ¡°These items belonged to an F-tier gunner!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re saying that he works for the deputy mayor and is an F-tier gunner. Isn¡¯t that He Li?¡± Xue Xingfu gasped.

    If this He Li challenged him to a fight, Xue Xingfu would dly withdraw. But here, Qin Feng simply killed the guy? Xue Xingfu found it rather hard to believe.

    Then, he suddenly thought about what Qin Feng¡¯s rhetorical question to him ¨C ¡®Me? Weak?¡¯

    If he managed to kill He Li, then he was definitely not weak.

    This kid was a freak!

    Had he really only awakened for a month?

    Qin Feng wanted to waste no more time having small talk. He said, ¡°Well... I don¡¯t know him, but of course, you can look into it in on the sly. I¡¯m done talking. Do you want to buy these things or not?¡±

    Xue Xingfu scanned the three things: a spatial rune ring, a piece of purple rune armor, and a blue light handguard. ¡°I¡¯ll take ¡¯em all. All three for 20 million. How¡¯s that?¡±

    Any spatial rune equipment would typically cost around 10 million, and its value would never depreciate. The purple rune armor, on the other hand, needed fixing and was worth little but still held its value as an F-tier item. Even after depreciation, it would be worth at least 8 million. As for the handguard, it could only yield 2 million, its condition notwithstanding.

    ¡°Deal!¡±

    ¡°Hold on for a while. I don¡¯t have so much cash on me right now but I have property. I can sell them out fast for close to 20 million yuan!¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Qin Feng deliberated about the offer before replying, ¡°Bring me there for a look. If it¡¯s okay, then we¡¯ll do the trade.¡±

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s lips twitched involuntarily. If he had known Qin Feng was so easy, he would have said that the house was worth 30 million!

    Nevertheless, half an hourter, the two of them were in Lake Qing mansion, a small high-end neighborhood in the colony. Indeed, this the only naturalke in the entire Chengbei. This was also true for its surrounding colonies.

    This neighborhood was also on the upper reaches of Qinghe Bay, the one Qin Feng had visited. Lake Qing was just a small part of Qinghe Bay, where many wealthy people and elects had a view of the townhouse.

 Chapter 49: Bounty Hunter Network

    <h4>Chapter 49: Bounty Hunter Network</h4>

    How posh it was, building vis in the colony. Only a few kinds of people could afford to live in them, though. They would be E-tier elects, including the district mayor, generals, and even the principals of advanced academies.

    People worshipped status symbols.

    Not everyone could just move into the surrounding neighborhoods as they wanted to.

    Since Qin Feng was the one who killed He Li, he had the leverage to live here; thought Xue Xingfu. Qin Feng, too, couldn¡¯t care less if people started causing problems just because they disliked him staying here.

    ¡°My house is on the ninth floor. The elevator only stops at 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Each house has two floors and is about 350 square meters!¡± Xue Xingfu exined. ¡°Mine even has a small attic. From the rooftop, you¡¯ll have a wonderful of the entire colony!¡±

    Xue Xingfu was good at what he did, but he preferred toy low. He had always kept mum about this sterling property he owned and was even willing to do things that many people considered a con, such as exchanging G-grade strengthening potions with Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng followed Xue Xingfu into the elevator, keeping a straight face. People here were far and few between. Despite theck of human presence, just by being here would make most visitors faint ¨C the colony was cramped and suffocating, with most wishing it had more space.

    Xue Xingfu swiped a card on the door with a distinct click following it. When the lights were turned on, Qin Feng could see that the house wasvish and well decorated, a sight pleasing to the eyes.

    In the colony, one square meter would cost 40 to 50 thousand yuan. The average wage earner wouldn¡¯t even be able to afford a single tile.

    ¡°We have the living room, dining room, kitchen, guestroom, bathroom, and training room on the first floor. Upstairs, we have the master bedroom with en suite, the changing room, and a hidden room. Of course, this house has everything, albeit, the kind of security system you choose to install. On the third floor is the attic, and outside, a viewing room with a luxurious bathtub; if you know what I mean!¡± Xue Xingfu winked, as if very proud of the unabashed bathtub.

    The poor made up most of the colony, but as long as they had money, they could live as outrageously as they liked.

    ¡°Not bad!¡± Qin Feng was an A-tier elect in his previous life, with no measure of opulence he had not seen before. This was not a big deal to him.

    Xue Xingfu understood that this young man had always been reserved and did not insist on Qin Feng, showing any indication of delight.

    For mostbatants who fought in the wilderness, acquiring a ce to live was mainly for their families. It did not matter that they could not enjoy the fruits of their hardbor.

    Unfortunately or fortunately, in this case, Qin Feng had no family, so naturally, he felt no significance to it.

    ¡°It¡¯s all set then. This house belongs to you now!¡± Xue Xingfupleted the procedure on hismunicator and transferred the ownership of house number 399 of Lake Qin to Qin Feng. ¡°Well, I won¡¯t take any more of your time then. You¡¯ve been fighting the whole night. Have a well-deserved rest!¡±

    Xue Xingfu patted Qin Feng on the shoulder as he left, sighing at the thought of the fact that he no longer owned the house.

    However, when he looked at the purple rune armor and space stabilizing device, his mood immediately uplifted, a small distraction from the rather substantial loss.

    Qin Feng watched Xue Xingfu leave beforebing through the entire house, fearing it might be bugged. After a thorough search, he was satisfied and set down his backpack.

    Xiaobai jumped out eagerly!

    ¡°Chirp! That sure is one verbose human!¡± Xiaobai grumbled.

    ¡°Go ahead and take a look around. This is where we¡¯ll be staying from now on. But I don¡¯t think we¡¯ll be here long!¡±

    Xiaobai did a little jig. Then, like Qin Feng, it did a sweep of the house, sniffing around and gingerly touching everything like a queen touring her new territory.

    ¡°Alright, Xiaobai. It¡¯s time for a shower!¡±

    After the fight yesterday, Qin Feng looked really worse for wear. Those who didn¡¯t know he was an ability user would think that he had just returned from a day of moving bricks in a construction yard. Xiaobai, too, was all dusty and muddy.

    The little creature skipped to the bathroom and settled itself in the sink while Qin Feng took a shower.

    Qin Feng turned the water for Xiaobai, making sure the temperature was right. It slumped backward, eyes closed in apparent rxation.

    As he cleaned the dirt off himself, Qin Fengbed through the proceeds of the night.

    Yesterday, he killed He Li with Hellfire, and as soon as the guy died, Qin Feng absorbed the energy from his corpse. The only thing was, the energy was very weak.

    On the other hand, he noticed his consciousness had improved by leaps and bounds.

    ¡°Gunners were physically weak against Ancient Warriors. He Li was the same. That being said, his consciousness was exceedingly robust.¡±

    Qin Feng realized, even more so now, on how incredible his absorption ability was.

    Of course, other than consciousness, his physique had also toughened up.

    Before he demolished theboratory, Qin Feng returned to the room where they stored the test subjects and killed all of the ultra-beasts that were barely alive, relieving them of their suffering.

    He did not do it out of pity, but too many people had died in the hands of these creatures. He would be incredibly stupid if he took pity on them. He did what he did because he was afraid that the ultra-beasts would escape and eventually be a threat to Chengbei.

    There was no shortage of ultra-beasts here.

    ¡°All the test specimens in theb were in terrible shape. I only managed to absorb a small bit of energy from them, but I still managed to level up!¡±

    Amazingly, he had reached G8-tier!

    He was so close to bing F-tier ¨C he only needed to level up two more times.

    As he turned the tap off, Qin Feng stood in front of the mirror and examined his body.

    Firm muscles wrapped around his bones, and considering he¡¯d absorbed that bone-hand back then, he seemed to have grown a little taller, now standing around 178cm. He was no longer skinny and scrawny!

    His whole body brimmed with explosive energy, waiting to burst out with bright radiance!

    ¡°My clothes are also tighter!¡± heughed.

    Forget it. He would deal with it tomorrow.

    Includingst night, Qin Feng had not slept for over 30 hours. But having the body of an Ancient Warrior and the consciousness of an ability user, he could even go on for seven days and seven nights without a wink of sleep.

    With all things considered, however, after such a big battle and the fact that Qin Feng was still in the awakening period, he did not want to risk it.

    After Xiaobai was clean, it curled up next to Qin Feng, and the both of them fell into a sweet sleep.

    ...

    When they awoke, the sun was setting. Qin Feng checked the message on his wrist.

    It was this notification that woke him up. It was Xue Xingfu.

    ¡°Brother, the information you gave is real handy. The case you mentioned yesterday? I¡¯m handing it now. ording to the bounty hunterwork, the reward for the two criminals you killed is 400,000 yuan. I¡¯ve already transferred the money to your ount!¡±

    Because Xue Xingfu knew about the deputy mayor¡¯s involvement, he bullishly got himself involved in the case, even going as far as to fire those who wanted to harm Qin Feng!

    On top of that, he even made sure that the reward Qin Feng received was on the dot. Not a cent more, not a cent less.

    ¡°Bounty Hunter Network! That¡¯s great!¡± Qin Feng reread the words on Xue Xingfu¡¯s message, and a thought struck his mind.

 Chapter 50: Xiaobai Showing Off

    <h4>Chapter 50: Xiaobai Showing Off</h4>

    The bounty hunterwork was a website dedicated to hunting down anti-human organizations. Found nowhere else, you could dig up details of tens of thousands of wanted criminals where images, pictures, and their body analysis were made avable. For that reason, themunicator was a handy device that could do a scan of the surroundings and identify any felons within a hundred meters, subsequently alerting the bounty hunters.

    Even those who were not bounty hunters could download a particr software so that they could evade detection by the criminals. It was rather popr in the underworld, and nearly everyone used it.

    Qin Feng¡¯s currentmunicator could not do any of these. The hovercarmunication system, on the other hand, was of the highest specification, able to sweep a one-kilometer radius.

    ¡°This is a good opportunity for me to get some new clothes!¡± Qin Feng climbed out of bed, stretched a little before slipping on his clothes, which were now a little too tight for his newly obtained muscr physique.

    Nevertheless, he was not too concerned about how he looked.

    ¡°Xiaobai, I¡¯m going out now. Do you want to stay at home?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Xiaobai was ying on the stairs. The moment Qin Feng mentioned that he was leaving, it instantly sped down the steps, its fluffy fur bobbing gently as it leaped into Qin Feng¡¯s arms.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go together, alright?¡± Qin Feng returned Xiaobai to his backpack.

    The hovercar was parked downstairs, standing out like a sore thumb among the array of luxury cars.

    A few residents in the building eyed the car suspiciously.

    ¡°It looks like another neer!¡±

    ¡°I wonder who it is. Gotta keep an eye out for him!¡±

    Qin Feng did not know what these people were thinking.

    The car arrived at themercial district ¨C a ce where the average person would never set foot in. Not that certain people were restricted from entering, but it was because people were intimidated by the ridiculously exorbitant prices of the goods and services here. Some have been known to get into serious trouble after merely soiling a piece of clothing.

    Qin Feng had just parked his car in the lot when something caught his eye.

    ¡°Chirp!¡± Xiaobai saw it as well.

    A woman who seemed to be from the upper-ss was holding a leash fastened to a majestic and magnificent canine ¨C a golden retriever!

    It was one of the most poprrge breeds of dogs during peacetime. Gentle by nature, it loved being around humans and was always a loyalpanion. Since the rift¡¯s attacks, animals awakened sooner than human beings. Their physique went through the roof, where some pets were even better atbat than their human owners.

    Hounds protecting their owners were amon sight. After all, they were up against alien creatures that came from a world beyond the rift.

    Domesticating ultra beasts were the new fad, creating an entirely separate categorybat profession and a group of professionals known as beastmasters.

    Of course, how powerful a beastmaster would be depended on how powerful their pets were.

    The bond between Qin Feng and Xiaobai was based on the creation of beastmasters as well.

    ¡°That¡¯s a good idea!¡±

    If someone paraded their pet around town among ordinary people, they would inevitably find themselves drawing attention. But here, things were very different.

    This area was popted by the wealthy, so, adopting pets were amon sight.

    Ten minutester, Xiaobai had put on a leash around its neck. It was even joined by a pink bowtie. A true wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing, no one would suspect that Xiaobai was actually a beast-king tier ultra-beast.

    This was the first time Xiaobai walked on the road in public. Naturally, the little creature was very excited. Although not exactly enjoying the chains, Xiaobai paid little attention to it since this was way better than hiding inside Qin Feng¡¯s backpack.

    The first thing Qin Feng did was buy a newmunicator. The most expensivemunicator that was sold in Chengbei colony cost a good 100,000 yuan. Considering Qin Feng had a current worth of over 1 million, he had no qualms buying the device.

    The silver gadget looked snazzy. All it took was a nce to tell that it was no low-endmunicator.

    Having the device in hand, Qin Feng downloaded the bounty hunterwork.

    ¡°I wonder how many criminals roam the Beicheng colony!¡± Qin Feng had this murderous look in his eyes.

    He did not download this software to protect himself but to kill criminals. In fact, as long as they were nearby, he would surely hunt them down.

    How could he not do it when he could earn money and elerate his progress at the same time?

    Next, Qin Feng walked into an apparel store that sold branded goods.

    ¡°Chirp!¡± Xiaobai suddenly refused to move.

    ¡°What is it?¡± Qin Feng gave Xiaobai a concerned look and noticed that the little creature was looking at the two mannequins standing by the door.

    The male one wore a jet ck suit, whereas the female had been given a magnificent formal evening gown. Adorned with something that made it dazzle under the bright spotlight, it cost a cool 300,000 yuan.

    The glimmer did note from diamonds, but a special florescentpound synthesized from a specific ultra-beast insect, the bioluminescent bloodsucking beetle. The fluorescence was added only for aesthetic value.

    Adding this shimmering feature to the uniforms in the wilderness would be a deathwish!

    However, it was viewed differently in the colony, where some of the wealthy would have exquisite clothing like this purpose-made for their wedding.

    Xiaobai was not looking at those mannequins, of course. It was two tiny puppies between the couple that had caught its attention. One was ck and the other white. Thetter was a fluffy toy dog in a mini wedding dress.

    Qin Feng was at a loss for words.

    ¡°Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!¡± Xiaobai jumped up and down eagerly.

    Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°... I didn¡¯t know you are such a showoff!¡±

    Xiaobai stared at Qin Feng with its deep ck glossy eyes, almost as if it was about to throw a tantrum!

    ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll get it for you!¡± Qin Feng agreed reluctantly, realizing that he always gave in to Xiaobai, thereby spoiling the little beast.

    A shop attendant took note of Qin Feng¡¯s presence, but because his dressing was so low-key, she thought it best to ignore him. When she noticed themunicator in his hand, though, her eyes lit up.

    He must be one of that discreet nouveau riche, loaded but always in tatters.

    But before she could wee him with a smile, Qin Feng paused in front of the store¡¯s disy and asked loudly, ¡°Excuse me, how much is this pet wedding dress?¡±

    Qin Feng waved at the shop attendant.

    The shop attendant¡¯s lips twitched at the question. Their customers usually shopped for formal clothes or bought tailored wedding dresses. This was the first time anyone had asked about a wedding dress for their pet.

    ¡°That is just for disy, sir!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not for sale?¡±

    ¡°That...¡± The shop attendant looked uncertain. ¡°Please wait for a minute. I¡¯ll go ask the manager!¡± she relented.

    So off she went, talking into themunicator. As soon as she left, the door into the store opened and in walked a couple.

    ¡°Honey, you¡¯ve bought me so many things. Let me pick you a few outfits. You can¡¯t always dress so casually. You¡¯re so handsome, and you¡¯ll look perfect in the clothes here. This brand is really well-known, and they have styles for both male and female!¡± tweeted a cloying voice that made Qin Feng¡¯s skin crawl.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator started vibrating intensely!

    A prompt appeared on the screen:

    [Attention bounty hunter! Criminal confirmed: Li Hai]

    Qin Feng stared at the device for a moment and then put it away calmly as he studied the two patrons that had just walked into the shop.

 Chapter 51: Three Punches

    <h4>Chapter 51: Three Punches</h4>

    The couple was very mushy and intimate. The man was nearly in his forties, muscr and around 185cm tall, with slightly fierce-looking features. Meanwhile, the woman seemed to be about only eighteen with long hair that had been bleached blond and thick makeup. She was dressed scantily, her impressions only worsened by therge and small shopping bags that filled her hands. They had indeed purchased an entire warehouse of stuff.

    Had the woman not addressed the man as her husband, Qin Feng would have mistaken them for father and daughter!

    ¡°Whatever you want, just say the word, bitch! Serve me well, and I will buy you everything you ever dreamed of. This is nothing to me!¡± The man was both presumptuous and vulgar as he haughtily gloated to the female.

    ¡°You¡¯re the best, hubby!¡± The woman embraced the man, brushing a full pair of breasts against his arm. Even though she said this with a smile, there was a look of disgust concealed within her eyes.

    While the pair shopped, Qin Feng looked up information about the man in hismunicator. The facts and figures found here about any criminal wereid out in a very detailed fashion.

    After confirmation that he had the right guy byparing the man in the store to the one in the criminal profile, he looked up the man¡¯s offenses.

    Li Hai was not from Chengyang but was actually from faraway Haining.

    [Assaulted 1 and killed 13 young women; murdered 91 innocent civilians]

    [Resisted arrest by patrol team, caused the deaths of 31 patrol team ability users]

    [Devised a bomb that destroyed public buildings, killing 132]

    Qin Feng looked at the bounty offered at the bottom of Li Hai¡¯s profile page. It was not a lot, only about 2 million yuan, but there was also a reward of 500 bounty points.

    Excellent!

    All of a sudden, Qin Feng had this bloodthirsty look in his eyes.

    Li Hao appeared to be unaware that he had been targeted. Even if someone like him found out about the bounty hunterwork, he wouldn¡¯t be spooked. His chosen as a hideout was one of the safest. Chengbei colony was an inferior ce in Chenyang, where the strongest person was at most at E-tier. Why would anybody go through all that trouble to hunt him?

    That seemed to be impossible, of course, which was why he was so brazen.

    Soon, the shop assistant who tended to Qin Feng returned.

    ¡°Sir, I¡¯ve consulted my superior, and it appears that we can sell this pet wedding dress to you. It goes for 36,000 yuan. We can also make custom make outfits for your pet. You just need to give us its measurements!¡±

    Qin Feng was not about to make a move in the shop, so he nodded, hoping to linger around his target a little longer. ¡°Alright. But we¡¯ll take this one first!¡±

    After he had paid for the wedding dress, Qin Feng helped Xiaobai into it.

    ¡°That looks very pretty, really...¡± Qin Feng cooed affectionately.

    Xiaobai was very ttered, puffing its chest and raising its chin, eager for all to see it in its new dress and sing its praises!

    ¡°Oh my! This little puppy is so cute! Hubby! I want one too!¡± The woman with Li Hai purred when she overhead Qin Feng.

    Xiaobai suddenly stiffened, ring at the woman with its dark eyes.

    ¡°Who are you calling a dog? You want to die?¡¯

    In Xiaobai¡¯s inherited memory, human beings were frail creatures. Except for the person whom it had a confirmed bond, it would never mince its words with anyone else. In fact, when it was all grown up, humans would simply be one of its many foods. Hmm... what did they taste like anyway?

    Li Hai was a grade-F ancient warrior, but because Xiaobai did not reveal its aura, he could not tell that the ¡®puppy¡¯ was actually an ultra-beast. ¡°Hey kid, I¡¯m buying your dog. How much do you want for it? Give me a price!¡± the man barked without the slightest sense of courtesy.

    Qin Feng¡¯s warm smile froze on his lips. He stood up and looked at Li Hai. ¡°It is not for sale!¡±

    Not expecting to be rejected, Li Hai frowned, looking very unhappy.

    ¡°Hubby...¡± the woman purred.

    That only fuelled Li Hai¡¯s anger. Who the hell was this kid, turning him down and embarrassing him in front of his woman.

    ¡°Hey kid, even if you¡¯re not selling today, you still have to sell!¡± Li Hai reached out a palm towards Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder. This move alone could shatter a person¡¯s bones.

    Instantly, Qin Feng released Xiaobai¡¯s leash.

    Forget all that buying he was supposed to do, this was the perfect time to make a move.

    Qin Feng was prepared, so he swung out a fist to meet Li Hai¡¯s hand!

    Bam!

    Qin Feng¡¯s fist mmed into Li Hai¡¯s palm, sending a powerful force up his arm.

    Crack!!!

    With a loud, unnatural sound, Li Hai¡¯s wrist was twisted in a weird angle; its bone broken into two ces!

    ¡°Arghhhhhhhhh!¡± He screamed, stumbling backward while clutching his arm until he hit the disy behind him.

    Clothes fell to the ground, and a vase shattered. The woman standing next to him fell to the ground on her bottom at the sudden move, but Li Hai ignored her.

    ¡°Hey, kid! You have a deathwish?!¡± Li Hai roared in pain and fury.

    Qin Feng had unleashed the punch at full force while meanwhile inadvertently exposing his real strength. Li Hai now knew that Qin Feng was merely a G-tier Ancient Warrior who only managed to injure him because he was unprepared

    Li Hai could squash this kid with a finger if he wanted to. One could only imagine how pissed he was to have his wrist snapped in two by a boy half his size.

    That kid had to die!

    Without holding back, Li Hai raised his fist and jumped at Qin Feng!

    ¡°Ahhhh!¡± The store assistant and Li Hai¡¯s woman screamed, running away to take cover as far away as they could.

    ¡°Die, kid!¡± Li Hai grinned.

    Qin Feng looked bored. He raised his left arm and grabbed Li Hai¡¯s swinging arm!

    ¡°You!¡± Li Hai¡¯s eyes widened when he realized that he had fallen into a quagmire.

    Qin Feng¡¯s fist struck at Li Hai¡¯s dantian!

    ¡°Star absorption!¡±

    Li Hai¡¯s dense inner force, muchrger than that of the people Qin Feng had previously killed, rushed relentlessly towards Qin Feng.

    Li Hai stared in disbelief!

    When Qin Feng killed He Li, he was only at G7 tier. Today, his physical body had reached G8, andbined with the star absorbing skill, the inner force he used must have be extremely powerful. He simply went easy on Li Hai just now.

    Bam!

    That punch immediately crushed Li Hai¡¯s dantian!

    Li Hai¡¯s body trembled. He that he could notunch any more attacks!

    Qin Feng threw another punch in Li Hai¡¯s direction without pausing.

    Bam!!!

    One hard hit to the chest and it shattered his rib cage before snowballing into the heart!

    Li Hai was dead!

    His body mmed onto the ground, dead as a doornail.

    Qin Feng took out hismunicator immediately, snapped a few pictures of the now-deceased Li Hai, and submitted them.

    ¡°Ahh! You! You¡¯re a killer!¡± The woman who was with Li Hai screamed, pointing incriminatingly at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng chuckled. ¡°The thing I just killed is a criminal on the loose. Did you know that he is wanted all over? What is your rtionship with him? Are you his aplice?¡±

    ¡°Huh!¡± The woman looked at Li Hai¡¯s motionless corpse, then back at Qin Feng. ¡°No, no, no! I don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t know anything. I thought he was just a rich guy looking to hook up with me!¡±

    Qin Feng gave her a look of disgust. ¡°Get yourself out of here before the authorities do. At least you won¡¯t have to live in a cell!¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes.. thank you, thank you!¡± The woman gathered all her shopping bags and ran for her life without looking back.

 Chapter 52: Tripled Inner Force

    <h4>Chapter 52: Tripled Inner Force</h4>

    When the dust settled, only the shop assistant and Qin Feng remained at the scene.

    ¡°Ss... Sir. Should I call the patrol team?¡± the assistant quivered, close to tears.

    ¡°I¡¯ve already called them. Rx. Don¡¯t be scared. In the meantime, bring me some clothes, will you!¡±

    ¡°...¡±

    .....

    The bounty hunterwork, a semi-official organization independent of the patrol team and garrison, had its own system and base in each colony.

    They arrived much quicker than expected, taking them less than 10 minutes to get to the store from where they were.

    Of course, their main headquarters was also in the center of Chengbei colony.

    By the time they arrived, Qin Feng had already changed into an expensive outfit. The shop assistant listened to him attentively. Upon closer inspection, the screen showed that they were all pet clothing for Xiaobai.

    Clothes maketh the man ¨C in his new outfit, Qin Feng¡¯s entire temperament seemed to have changed. He could now im to be the son of an affluent family, and people would believe him.

    If it had not been because of his puerile looks, he would surely have looked more like a powerful elite. After all, Qin Feng possessed mighty strength in his previous life, exining his ability to exert dominance on others.

    ¡°Hi, I¡¯m Zhang Haoyang, the liaison officer of the bounty hunter in Chengbei!¡± a man offered his hand to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Hi! Qin Feng!¡± Qin Feng returned the handshake. The man had some grip.

    Zhang Haoyang did not waste time on formalities ¨C it was a hot day and there was a body in the shop.

    Zhang Haoyang did a quick sweep of Li Hai¡¯s identity and nodded at Qin Feng. ¡°Identity confirmed!¡± Then he signaled for his subordinates to carry the body away.

    They were not doing this job for free. Once they had ordered the arrest of criminals, they would request to decipher theirmunicator¡¯s number, seize whatever money was inside and use it as bounty for other wanted criminals.

    Unsurprisingly, due to their exploits, the bounty hunter organization was the wealthiest of them all. It was all fair game, as it was. They killed in the name of justice and honor in exchange for money.

    Of course, they did not ask for Qin Feng¡¯s identity, nor did they care for his ability. Those who joined the bounty hunterwork only dealt in information and yielded very little strength.

    ¡°The assignment submission isplete. We will verify it immediately!¡± Zhang Haoyang said.

    After a review of the assignment that Qin Feng had turned in, 2million yuan was immediately transferred into his ount!

    ¡°Congrattions. You are now a ss F bounty hunter. From today onwards, should any wanted criminals set foot in Chengbei, we will alert you. I hope you will cooperate with us!¡± said Zhang Haoyang.

    ¡°No problem!¡± Evidently, Qin Feng shared the same amiable attitude with him.

    They exchanged contacts, and with this new connection, Qin Feng enabled himself to receive a lot of information.

    Hunting down wanted criminals in the colony was a very troublesome task. Bounty hunters who were weak were only setting themselves up for a tragic funeral. Some of the more powerful criminals even had the capability to assassinate the leaders of the colonies. For that reason, Zhang Haoyang was delighted to have Qin Feng, of whom he thought was rather mysterious, join their team of bounty hunters.

    Being able to kill a ss F elect at such a young age was an ability possessed only by those who were geniuses. One could only imagine the potential this youth had in store.

    Once everything was settled, Qin Feng left with Xiaobai.

    Hovercars were faster, and since everyone avoided crashing into luxury vehicles, Qin Feng was, for the most part, able to travel on the road unimpeded.

    Once he was back in Lake Qing Garden, he marched straight for the training room on the first floor.

    Sitting down in a lotus position, Qin Feng immediately looked into his dantian. It was nothing less than chaotic inside. There was a huge mist of inner force upying it, messing up the initial order of inner force threads.

    The strange mist was actually Li Hai¡¯s inner force. He was an F-tier Ancient Warrior whose inner force had transformed into a ball of smog, subsequently entering Qin Feng¡¯s dantian. This situation made him really ufortable inside. This was because his dantian hadn¡¯t yet expanded enough to amodate inner force in the form of a mist.

    ¡°Absorb!¡± Qin Feng then employed his absorption skills in an attempt to soak up all that mist.

    His meridian expanded once again, and the cloud of smog was converted into eight silk threads that were integrated into his dantian.

    As of now, there were 27 silk threads in his dantian ¨C three times that of a peak G-tier Ancient Warrior.

    ¡°So, it would seem that fighting Ancient Warriors increases my internal force faster. I have to keep my conscience clear and avoid killing the innocent!¡± Qin Feng reminded himself.

    That particr feeling that people got from an exponential Asteroid Assimtion boost would often cause them to lose control of themselves. They would be consumed by their desire to kill.

    Thankfully, due to his previous life¡¯s experience, Qin Feng was aware that he should not be too foolhardy.

    The next morning, Qin Feng rolled out of bed early.

    The awakening period had passed. Those who had not been awakened would have no hope of awakening ever again. To most people, however, it was a new beginning.

    Qin Feng drove to Zhou Hao¡¯s ce with Xiaobai.

    ¡°Hey, lunatic! You finally came! I was getting impatient!¡± grumbled Zhou Hao as he climbed into the car. When he saw Xiaobai, he simply stared at the creature. ¡°What is this? A pet? Why do you have a pet?¡±

    Today, Xiaobai was wearing a cute little hat with a clip underneath, and a formal red dress ¨C all a very eye-catching ensemble.

    After experiencing what it was like to walk freely in public, Xiaobai would rather die than to hide inside Qin Feng¡¯s backpack once more.

    Qin Feng had no choice but to bring the little creature along with him. No one at school had the intention to hurt Xiaobai anyway.

    ¡°Mmhmm, this is Xiaobai! Don¡¯t call it a dog. It won¡¯t be happy!¡± Qin Feng reprimanded Zhou Hao.

    All Zhou Hao could do to was keep himself from bursting outughing.

    ¡°Alright. Alright. How are you, Xiaobai? How about we shake hands, hmm?¡± Zhou Hao stretched out a palm.

    Xiaobai flexed its ws, wondering if it should draw some blood from Zhou Hao.

    ¡°Ahem, alright! Buckle up!¡± Qin Feng quickly changed the subject.

    Zhou Hao had always gotten himself into trouble, unintentionally, of course. Although Xiaobai had constantly sissted Qin Feng, it was a beast general nheless, and its owner knew all too well how strong this tiny creature could turn out to be.

    Soon, they arrived at the gates of Chengbei Advanced Academy.

    There was a multitude of people standing at the entrance. Among the crowd, the few that stood out were the upperssmen, d in striped dark-red uniforms.

    ¡°The pretty girls from the advance academy are really on a whole total different level!¡± Zhou Hao noted excitedly, pointing at someone in the throng of people.

    An uninterested Qin Feng turned around to look, only to realize that it was someone he knew ¨C the one called Li Yaoyao, the water ability user.

    Qin Feng vaguely remembered that she was a student of the advanced academy. Lo and behold, there was an impatient-looking Lu Meng standing next to her.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go register our names first!¡±

    There were three registration booths, two which were crowded with long lines while one waspletely vacant. Thetter was the booth for ability users.

    ¡°I¡¯m going there! I¡¯lle to look for youter!¡± Qin Feng pointed at the empty booth, leaving a stunned Zhou Hao behind.

    ¡°Hey! Lunatic! Your special ability has awakened? Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±

    Qin Feng simply waved in response, ignoring Zhou Hao¡¯s discontent.

    This was a decision he had made after a bout of careful and lengthy deliberation.

 Chapter 53: Xiaobaiâ€™s Show of Force

    <h4>Chapter 53: Xiaobai¡¯s Show of Force</h4>

    Before he was reborn, Qin Feng was able to achieve A-tier as an Ancient Warrior. If not for his idental death, his strength would have continued to soar thanks to his absorption ability.

    However, when it came to abilities, he was all but ayman.

    To date, he had destroyed theboratory in the wilderness, and while it was best never to reveal one¡¯s dark abilities, the Hell Stone gave him an idea.

    He walked up to the special ability desk and was greeted by the student operating the booth. ¡°Are you here to sign up for the special ability ss? Are you sure your ability is awakened? Which category is it?¡±

    Qin Feng snapped his fingers, and a small me materialized at his fingertips. ¡°Fire ability!¡±

    Noticing the fluidity of Qin Feng¡¯s movements, the senior was impressed, praising, ¡°Incredible! You¡¯ve only just awakened, and you¡¯ve already gotten the me rune! You¡¯re even able to control it! You must be really talented!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at the senior, speechless. It did not seem like he was lying.

    Even if he wanted to hide his dark ability, it did not mean that he wanted to attract a lot of attention as a fire ability user. It never crossed his mind that the tiny gesture was to be considered an impressive feat.

    Qin Feng hurriedly extinguished the me on his palm, but it was toote. The people around him had already seen it.

    ¡°Ability user!¡±

    ¡°Lucky-ass guy! His ability is awakened!¡±

    ¡°That looks real, cool!¡±

    The people who were lining up at the Ancient Warrior and Gunner booths all gawked at Qin Feng as if looking at a million pieces of gold. Even Li Yaoyao, who was busy managing the registration booth, paused and looked over. She was both surprised and excited to see him.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Li Yaoyao called out, as she handed the registration form in her hands to a patron.

    She hade here just to wait for Qin Feng, not knowing that he would be sote and signing up at the special ability booth! She had been busy working at the ancient warrior booth for quite a while now.

    When she thought of how long she had been kept busy at the ancient warrior booth, her excitement turned into resentment.

    Qin Feng greeted her back with a simple ¡®hi¡¯ before turning back to the form he was given and filling it up.

    Li Yaoyao smiled sweetly at him. ¡°Qin Feng, I¡¯ll bring you to the testing area!¡±

    ¡°No need for that, thank you. I¡¯m waiting for a friend!¡±

    The student working at the special ability booth could not help but be left in awe ¨C Qin Feng had just turned down a beautiful girl.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s wait together!¡± Li Yaoyao bit her lip as she stood next to Qin Feng.

    Already, many of the people present shot hostile looks at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows. He never liked being stuck-up, but at the same time, disliked this kind of attention even more. He wondered if he should simply wait for Zhou Hao in the car instead. A resilient Li Yaoyao, however, would not let him go.

    ¡°Qin Feng, is this your pet? It¡¯s so cute!!!¡± Li Yaoyao reached out to touch Xiaobai.

    Qin Feng instinctively took a step backward, avoiding her. Xiaobai was already baring its fangs and ws.

    Because Xiaobai was not inside the backpack, it was only natural to draw attention.

    As it turned out, Yaoyao was the second person to provoke Xiaobai today.

    ¡°Don¡¯t touch it!¡± Qin Feng warned in a frosty tone.

    Xiaobai was not some domesticated pet. It was a beast general.

    Li Yaoyao withdrew her hands cautiously, feeling wronged, bewildered on why Qin Feng would not even allow her to touch his pet.

    That very moment, someone got up and mmed the table with a loud thud!

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with touching your pet? Yaoyao was simply giving you face when she wanted to touch your pet! Don¡¯t be daft!¡± shouted a guy in the same red uniform who was working next to Li Yaoyao at the ancient warrior registration booth. Just as he thought that they were making some headway, this bastard came and stole Li Yaoyao away.

    That was uneptable.

    ¡°Liu Rui! It¡¯s alright. Don¡¯t say that!¡± Li Yaoyao quickly tried to douse the mes, throwing panicked looks in Qin Feng¡¯s direction. ¡°That was my fault. Don¡¯t be mad, Qin Feng!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s frown only deepened.

    In a show of defiance, Liu Rui trudged over.

    ¡°That¡¯s just a dog! Yaoyao, if you want, I¡¯ll catch it for you!¡± Without thinking or courtesy, Liu Rui reached out to grab Xiaobai!

    He was attempting to put on a show ¨C the n was to shoo Xiaobai away before hitting Qin Feng¡¯s arm, incapacitating him first.

    Ability users who were not learning their abilities systematically were useless. They would be no match for Ancient Warriors.

    So, Li Rui had nothing to worry about. He wanted to show Li Yaoyao how manly he was by vanquishing Qin Feng in front of her.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face darkened.

    ¡°Bite him!¡± Qin Feng ordered in his mind. As they both shared a bond, Xiaobai received the message directly.

    If Qin Feng was not stopping him, then why hold back?

    It was all about educating them on how awesome Xiaobai was. So long as Xiaobai¡¯s space ability was not revealed, everything else did not matter.

    Xiaobai was a beast general, and high-level aptitude users sensed that.

    When Xiaobai heard the instruction, it did not attack with its mouth, as it would usually do. This person would not taste good!

    Scratch!!!

    Xiaobai raised its paw and swiped its ws, drawing a white shadow across the air.

    ¡°Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!¡± Liu Rui screamed, clumsily stumbling backward as he clutched his injured hand. A gash ran deep into his bone.

    The people all around gasped in shock!

    After enhancement, a human¡¯s constitution would be very strong. Even a big dog, one that had not evolved, albeit a palm-sized one like Xiaobai, would not have been able to break through a human¡¯s defenses without first transforming itself.

    The crowd was in bewilderment as they witnessed a pet seriously injuring the arm of a senior in the advanced academy.

    ¡°You.... you are not a pet!¡± Liu Rui roared in anguish.

    Qin Feng sniffed. ¡°You just knew, huh? Too bad, buddy... it¡¯s toote. Xiaobai holds a grudge for a very long time. You better watch out when you walk in the night. The next time, that w won¡¯t be scratching your arm but your eyes!¡±

    When the crowd heard this, they looked at Liu Rui¡¯s arm, feeling the pain as well on behalf of him.

    ¡°That¡¯s an ultra-beast!¡±

    ¡°Wow! It¡¯s so strong, although it¡¯s puny!¡±

    ¡°Wow! This person is seriously lucky! Not only has his ability awakened, he even booked an ultra-beast offspring! It¡¯s going to be a huge help to its owner when it¡¯s all grown up!¡±

    Evidently, the incident that had just taken ce had the crowd all envious.

    Lui Rui¡¯s face reddened. Demoralized and in great pain, he would have liked very much to kill Qin Feng!

    Seeing that things had gotten way out of hand, Li Yaoyao quickly tried to cate Liu Rui. ¡°Liu Rui, please... don¡¯t be angry! Here, let me heal you. It¡¯s just a small wound.¡±

    Li Yaoyao released some water runes, and little droplets of blue surrounded her, subsequently fusing into Liu Rui¡¯s arm. The cut on his hand began to close up, and, five minutester, not a single mark was left.

    ¡°Phew!¡± Li Yaoyao exhaled. Her consciousness was a little overdrawn.

    ¡°Those were water runes!¡±

    ¡°So, this pretty girl is a senior with a very special ability!¡±

    ¡°A goddess, she is! An angel in white!¡±

 Chapter 54: Rune Affinity

    <h4>Chapter 54: Rune Affinity</h4>

    As the crowd expressed their admiration, Liu Rui looked at Qin Feng¡¯s direction with an amused look in his eyes, as if to say, ¡°So what if your pet caused me a disadvantage? You may have won some face but you¡¯re losing the pretty girl!¡± Suddenly, he felt a little better for himself.

    However, after scanning the crowd, Liu Rui looked confused. Where was Qin Feng?

    While all focus was on the healing, no one noticed that Qin Feng had sneaked Zhou Hao to the front of the line, grabbed a sign-up sheet, and left quietly.

    ¡°Qin Feng, your special ability is awakened? And Xiaobai is an ultra-beast?! What ss is it? It looks really incredible! That pretty also girl seemed to know you!¡± Zhou Hao had an endless list of questions.

    ¡°You¡¯re talking a little too much!¡± Qin Feng winced.

    Zhou Hao rolled his eyes. ¡°Then answer my questions.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to!¡±

    ¡°Damn! You¡¯re keeping secrets from your brother?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that normal? We¡¯d be gay if there are no secrets between us!¡±

    Zhou Hao huffed in frustration, finally lost for words.

    ¡°I don¡¯t mean to keep secrets from you, but I¡¯m toozy to exin myself. At least you know the truth now!¡± Qin Feng patted his friend on the shoulder.

    ¡°Are we still brothers?¡± Zhou Hao groaned. When he thought about the Talent Fruit and beast-general meat, it dawned on him that Qin Feng had been ying things real close to the chest since then.

    But Qin Feng was also right. He could not possibly tell Zhou Hao everything. All that mattered was that he still treated him like a brother.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll you onest question: do you have feelings for that pretty girl?¡± Zhou Hao nosily poked with a smirk.

    ¡°What feelings?¡± Qin Feng cocked his brow and tried to look as cool as possible.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be silly! That girl looked like she really likes you. Don¡¯t you like her back?¡±

    ¡°Nope!¡± Qin Feng snapped.

    ¡°Why?¡± Zhou Hou looked at Qin Feng in disbelief. ¡°She¡¯s so pretty, and she¡¯s a water ability user. She¡¯ll be a doctor for sure! How can you not like her?!¡±

    Qin Feng simply kept mum.

    If he was young and carefree, he would have been overjoyed by the attention poured on him from a tremendously attractivess like Li Yaoyao.

    But Qin Feng wasn¡¯t that young mutt who had just moved out of the orphanage, waiting to take on whoever came their way.

    It was ten years ago, before his rebirth. Though Qin Feng may not have been at his peak, he did notck anything either. Money, women... everything that he should have, he had them.

    To him, there was nothing particrly special about Li Yaoyao. Also, he wasn¡¯t the type to be too interested in these kinds of things.

    In this life, his most pressing goals were to get revenge and to reach the top.

    ¡°There are no whys! She¡¯s just not my cup of tea!¡± Qin Feng politely denied, not wanting to criticize Li Yaoyao.

    Thank goodness, the bashful topic did not continue for long as they soon arrived at the testing area.

    On the other side of the room, Li Yaoyao looked really unhappy and obstinate.

    Once again, Qin Feng had taken off and left her alone. It was clear that this young man did not give a damn about her.

    ...

    In the testing area.

    ¡°Wow! We have someone who has his ability awakened! My name is Cheng Chao. I will be your teacher sh instructor. Just call me Teacher Cheng!¡±

    Cheng Chao was in his forties. He looked a little dull but seemed the kind type.

    ¡°Teacher Cheng, here is my form!¡± Qin Feng handed his form over.

    Cheng Chao epted the paper and ced it on the machine next to him.

    ¡°You¡¯ve already confirmed that it¡¯s a fire ability? Then there¡¯s no need for another test. We¡¯ll just measure your consciousness and rune affinity.¡±

    Cheng Chao took out a red fire crystal, a rare crystal core with attributes, and ced it in the machine.

    ¡°This machine is a piece of essential equipment that you will need in the future. It can break down the runes in special ability cores. The more gifted a person is, the more powerful he or she would be able to absorb the runes. This all depends on their aptitude as well! Of course, even if results are not outstanding, you¡¯re still fortunate. Don¡¯t get too stressed. Alright, let¡¯s start now!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. He was already seated inside the egg-shaped machine with a blindfold over his eyes.

    ¡°Release your consciousness and capture those runes ¨C the more you get, the better!¡± Cheng Chao instructed.

    ordingly, Qin Feng unleashed his conscious energy and ¡®saw¡¯ countless fire runes bouncing here and there!

    He knew that these runes were part of the test. Capturing them with the powerful pulling force of his consciousness, he absorbed the runes.

    However, no matter how hard he tried, he was only fast enough to absorb 1% of the dark runes.

    On top of that, once the runes reached his consciousness, they disappeared almost immediately.

    At the end of the day, Qin Feng was still a dark ability user, no matter what he tried. He simply posed as a fire ability user because of the fire runes.

    Even if he absorbed the fire runes, it would not be stored in his diamond.

    ¡°But what about the sub ability core around my ability core? I wonder if I can carve the runes onto them?¡±

    Sub ability cores were those really narrow and small infernal satellites orbiting the ability core.

    Qin Feng pulled the fire runes in again and attempted to carve them onto the infernal satellites.

    ¡°It works!¡±

    He had sessfully absorbed two runes. But just before he could continue, a beep rang in his ears, and all the fire runes disappeared.

    ¡°Done!¡± The teacher blurted as the machine spat out the report. Ripping off the sheet, he took one look at it, and his eyes widened. Then, he pped his thigh regretfully. ¡°Sigh!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at the man. ¡°Teacher, what is it? Do my results disqualify me from enrolling into the academy?¡±

    ¡°No, you are qualified. It¡¯s just... a little unfortunate!¡±

    The teacher passed on the results to Qin Feng.

    Elements captured: 2

    Strength of consciousness: S

    Rune affinity: G

    Qin Feng did a double-take. The power of his consciousness was ¡®S.¡¯

    ¡°It¡¯s too bad. If only your rune affinity could be higher. It¡¯s very rare to see S-tier consciousness!¡± Cheng Chao looked a tad disappointed.

    Qin Feng did not react to thement, though. He knew now that his rune affinity was ss-G because he did not only absorb dark runes.

    ¡°Sir, how is affinity evaluated?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    He knew practically nothing about ability users. The more basic the information given to him, the fewer details he knew.

    ¡°A G-tier ability user¡¯s initial absorption ability is at a 2. Simrly, it¡¯s 4 for F, 6 for E, 8 for D, 10 for C, 12 for B, and 15 for A. S-ss is the strongest. It could even go up to 20! Don¡¯t underestimate the small difference between the tiers. If all consciousness¡¯s strength is the same, then the efficiency of an elite absorbing rune would have greatly increased!¡±

    One should know that even a G-tier special ability would need at least 1,000 fire runes, needing a G-tier affinity ability user toplete it in 10 days. However, an S-tier affinity ability user would be able toplete it in 2 to 3 days. When it came to high-tier special abilities, one would need at least tens of thousands of runes.

    Qin Feng remembered when he had just awakened dark runes, he was able to absorb 20 dark runes in an hour during the day and over 100 at night.

    Did that not mean that his talent had, in fact, exceeded S-tier?

 Chapter 55: Help Wanted

    <h4>Chapter 55: Help Wanted</h4>

    ¡°Of course, you shouldn¡¯t be discouraged. As your consciousness continues to strengthen, you can cultivate longer than others. It¡¯s not possible to have a high-tier special ability now anyway. Continue to work hard!¡± Cheng Chao encouraged on.

    ¡°Mm... thank you, sir!¡±

    Qin Feng scanned his test results again. His eyes were drawn to the word ¡®pass¡¯ on the bottom of the sheet. All he needed to do right now was pay to the fee, and he would officially be a student of the Chengbei Advanced Academy!

    Qin Feng did not immediately leave but walked up to the Ancient Warrior testing area instead.

    The machine was simr to the one Qin Feng had used in the hotel. It was finally almost Zhou Hao¡¯s turn. Only a few people were left in the line before his turn.

    ¡°Start the test!¡±

    ¡°Hah!¡± the person undergoing the test roared, swinging a punch!

    Bam!

    ¡°Attack: 279. You can give it another try!¡±

    ¡°Thank you, teacher! Thank you!¡± The student nodded, then proceeded to swing another punch. This time, he only managed to get 256. He hadpletely wasted his opportunity.

    If the criteria for an ability user to enter an advanced academy was considered lenient, then the requirements for Ancient Warriors to enter were rigorous.

    Their attacks had to reach at least 300; their speed and responsiveness having to meet specific stringent standards.

    Of course, this did not mean that those who scored lower than 300 could not be Ancient Warriors. It only meant that their future prospects had significantly reduced.

    It was soon Zhou Hao¡¯s turn.

    ¡°Watch me!¡± Zhou Hao focussed his view, bounced a little and threw an impressive punch!

    Back in the intermediate academy, he was among the top in the institute with an astute ir forbat.

    Bash!!!

    The punch was extremely powerful, and the number on the machine danced wildly, seemingly unable to stop!

    ¡°516!¡± someone in the line suddenly shouted.

    ¡°That¡¯s more than 500! Isn¡¯t that in the territory of G-tier strength?¡±

    ¡°Wow! That¡¯s impressive!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve been cultivating for so long and I barely made 300! He exceeded 500!¡±

    This quickly drew the attention of the teacher overseeing the test. As he was very impressed, he urged the student further. ¡°Go try other tests!¡± he said.

    Zhou Hao flexed his hand, excited. ¡°Hey, you¡¯re done? Let¡¯s go,e with me to try out the other tests!¡± Zhou Hao pulled Qin Feng with him.

    Having plenty of time, Qin Feng obliged and went with him.

    Zhou Hao had shown sterling results for the series of tests. He was pleased, but Qin Feng was even happier.

    ¡°He died because of me in my previous life. This time, I was able to change his fate ¨C not only did he live, but with his promising talent, there¡¯ll be endless opportunities for him! It would be my honor to fight by your side in theing days!¡±

    Qin Feng was in a pleasant mood.

    After settking the 50,000 yuan needed for the school fee, they were given the academy¡¯s uniform.

    The uniform in deep purple was steam-pressed and tidy, even doubling as abat suit. The mountain boots added a really professional touch to the entire outlook. Wearing an outfit like that in the colony was a symbol of a promising future.

    ¡°sses start tomorrow! I can finally learn the art of neigong!¡± Zhou Hao eximed excitedly.

    Qin Feng looked a little surprised. ¡°What¡¯s the unified neigong that the advanced schools had adopted?¡±

    ¡°Hunyuan ¨C an F-ss neigong!¡±

    ¡°When we go backter, I¡¯ll give you another neigong that can also cultivate the Hunyuan skill. It won¡¯t dy anything! If you have any questions, just ask me!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Zhou Hao gave Qin Feng a strange look.

    ¡°How is it that you have so many good things now? Did you find some secret treasure I shouldn¡¯t know about?¡±

    ¡°Does finding a dead body count?¡± Qin Feng made up the perfect lie.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up!

    ¡°Wow! You simply came across an elect¡¯s space equipment in the wilderness with the ultimate skill, powerful rune weapon, and a pile of treasure?¡± Zhou Hao¡¯s let his imagination run wild.

    Qin Feng simply smiled in response.

    As if on cue, hismunicator rang.

    Qin Feng selected auto-answer and a man appeared on the screen. It was the same person he¡¯d just met yesterday, the man in charge of the bounty hunterwork, Zhang Haoyang.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you free right now? We¡¯re trying to catch a fugitive criminal. I saw that you¡¯re nearby, so I¡¯m wondering if youe and help us. Once it¡¯s done, you¡¯ll get a quarter of the reward!¡±

    Zhang Haoyang sounded really anxious, and Qin Feng could hear the ear-piercing screeches of the emergency handbrake in the background! They were obviously in the middle of a pursuit.

    ¡°Sure. Just send me the suspect¡¯s location!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    ¡°Alright. Thank you!¡± Zhang Haoyang immediately forwarded the suspect¡¯s details and location to Qin Feng. It was in his vicinity! The suspect was only three blocks away from Qin Feng.

    ¡°Haozi! Get down the car first!¡±

    Qin Feng wanted Zhou Hao to have no part in this dangerous chase. The felon that Zhang Haoyang was after was at least F-tier, not a person to be trifled with.

    ¡°Was that the bounty hunterwork? You guys are hunting a wanted criminal? Bring me with you! I¡¯ll just stay in the car!¡± screamed a very thrilled Zhou Hao with his eyes wide with eagerness.

    ¡°Okay, okay. Sit tight!¡± Qin Feng put the car in hover mode, and it began to float off the ground. The wind runes were promptly activated, and the vehicle soared to a certain altitude.

    Whoosh!!!

    The car zoomed off at an incredible speed! In a blink of an eye, they had flown past the three blocks and the suspect¡¯s car was soon in sight.

    It was a dark blue truck swerving recklessly, knocking everything in its way! Traffic hade to a halt with the madman on the loose.

    Qin Feng spotted Zhang Haoyang¡¯s white racecar. Perhaps it was because he only drove around the city; it was not a hovercar. It would cost a few million to equip his car with runes.

    Right now, though, Zhang Haoyang was at a disadvantage.

    Qin Feng¡¯s car raced past the buildings at lightning speed.

    ¡°Switch to automatic drive. Lock onto the blue vehicle!¡± Qin Feng opened the sunroof, then stood up on the driver¡¯s seat.

    The wind hit his face with fury as he reached to retrieve the energy gun strapped to his waist.

    Pew!

    A bright sh shot out of the energy gun, and the wheels on the blue truck made a loud ¡®pop!¡¯

    Then, the blown tires deted rapidly.

    Pe!!!

    Qin Feng discharged the weapon again.

    The rear of the truck copsed, its bare rims noisily scraping the road, sending sparks flying everywhere. Thankfully, it caused the vehicle to slow down, eventually drawing to a halt.

    A figure jumped down from the driver¡¯s seat.

    [Attention bounty hunter! Criminal: Viper is here.]

    The name resembling a serpent was obviously a code name!

    Code names were umon, but there was also a possibility that the suspect¡¯s real name never appeared in the human alliance database before.

    Qin Feng nced at hismunicator and saw that ¡®Viper¡¯ was a member of an anti-human group, and was involved in numerous murder cases.

    ¡°Go to hell, you son of a bitch!¡± Viper sneered, grabbing a small car parked by the sidewalk. Channeling his inner force, he lifted the automobile and threw it towards Qin Feng!

    Qin Feng jumped down from his hovercar and sprinted towards the projectile that hurtled toward him.

 Chapter 56: Exterminate Viper

    <h4>Chapter 56: Exterminate Viper</h4>

    ¡°Repulsion!¡± The Asteroid Assimtion skill exploded, and its massive force enveloped the car, sending it flying back the direction it came from!

    Viper clearly did not expect Qin Feng to be able to block the attack, much less return his attack. Powerless against the iing vehicle, getting hit by the car would result in many, many broken bones.

    Viper quickly got up to dodge the iing car.

    Boom!!!

    The carnded on the road and exploded into a giant fireball!

    Qin Feng¡¯s inner force protected him, and his feetnded gingerly on the ground.

    Viper red at him, taking a good look. When he saw how young his opponent was, the ferocious expression reappeared on his face.

    ¡°A fucking greenhorn! I¡¯ll kill you first!¡± He was outraged that a young-ass kid with no ability user medal dared to provoke him! The boy had iting.

    Viper stormed towards Qin Feng, first raised and ready to strike a heavy blow.

    Bam!!!

    Qin Feng too clenched a fist. The 27 threads in his body all mobilized, entering his meridian, and a rushing force of attack surged through him.

    His internal force, be it quality or quantity, was no lesser than that of an F-tier Ancient Warrior.

    Kapish!!!

    Flesh met flesh followed by an explosive collision so loud, it sounded like bones smashing into each other!

    Viper felt the energy from his fist, unable to believe what he just witnessed.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see how long you canst, asshole!¡± Viper growled.

    SPLAT! Thump! Kabam!!!

    Like two furious beasts, fists met with fists, and bodies collided with tremendous force, causing the ground to tremble.

    Although Viper was unable to adapt to the energy that the Asteroid Assimtion produced, Qin Feng had also discovered that his opponent was so strong, he was unable to absorb his inner force.

    ¡°Fucking hell!¡± Viper was getting angrier by the second, his rage visible by the pulsating veins on his temples.

    This punk was a major pain in the ass.

    Then, Zhang Haoyang and his team finally arrived.

    While Qin Feng kept Viper busy, three people walked up to them and surrounded Viper.

    ¡°Viper, you have nowhere to run!¡± one of them barked.

    ¡°Hey, kid, leave it to us!¡± another one of Zhang Haoyang¡¯s associates continued. He clearly thought little of Qin Feng.

    Zhang Haoyang¡¯s body tensed up as he gave the orders. ¡°Go!¡±

    With the three of them joining the fight, Viper was no doubt a dead man!

    ¡°Damn it!¡± Viper shouted in exasperation. His strength was no more than F2-tier, but he was rapidly agile and was a master escape artist, a reason why Zhang Haoyang and the others failed to apprehend him. With three people encircling him, however, he was like a cornered wild animal.

    ¡°You¡¯re forcing my hand! Now, you¡¯ll die with me!¡± Viper suddenlyughed, and injected a strange green potion into his body!

    ¡°Ahhhhhhhhh!¡± he screamed as his body started boiling. It expanded and distorted in strange angles. Then, green scales sprouted from his skin, and in a sh, Viper transformed into a five-meter long ultra-beast taking the form of a giant snake!

    ¡°Experimental mutant!¡± Qin Feng stepped backward cautiously, his heart pounding within his chest.

    The anti-human organization¡¯s unusual experiments had never stopped. In fact, some of the terrifying human weapons had their DNA altered, transforming into strong, overpowered ultra-beasts that subsequently boosted theirbat power beyond known limits.

    Viper was originally an F2-tier, but after injecting himself with the potion, he became an F-ss beast-general.

    That was way, way beyond Qin Feng¡¯s abilities.

    ¡°Hhiisshh!¡± Viper made a sound that sounded neither human nor beast.

    Zhang Haoyang and his colleagues looked terrified, realizing it was toote for them to make a run for it.

    Viper coiled his long body and pounced forward, knocking over the Ancient Warrior who asked Qin Feng to retreat.

    ¡°Blurgh!¡± Throwing up a mouthful of blood, there was a freakish-looking dent in his chest where his ribcage and lungs had copsed.

    Humans were undoubtedly feeble against ultra-beasts.

    Zhang Haoyang kept moving backward, but Viper was relentless. He opened up his enormous cavern of a mouth as if expecting to swallow Zhang Haoyang whole!

    This blood-curdling scenario would have terrified people. Yet, it was at this time that Qin Feng, who had managed to evade earlier, raised his hand and fortified his mind.

    ¡°Come fire!¡± mes appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s hand, forming a giant ball.

    On top of that, the fire from the exploding vehicle appeared to be drawn by an element, flying towards Qin Feng, and turning its shape into a dragon as if pped its heavy wings across the sky.

    ¡°Go!!!¡± Qin Feng pushed with both hands, and the giant fiery dragon went after Viper, colliding into him like a runaway train!

    Crash!!!

    The magnanimous force sent Viper flying. Fire enveloped his body, and he became a squirming pir of fire.

    ¡°Ahhhhhhh!¡± Viper screamed in extreme pain.

    ¡°Hellfire!¡± Qin Feng did not stop attacking. He raised his hands again, with a palm-sized ck and red ball appearing in his hand.

    It was the augmented Hellfire with an amalgamation of dark energy!

    Qin Feng hurled the ball of Hellfire so that it wouldnd on Viper¡¯s giant snakehead.

    The ball of mes left a trail of charred bits as it scorched everything along its path. Then, there was a giant hole in the Viper¡¯s head.

    He struggled for a while, twitched, then came to an abrupt stopped.

    Viper¡ª¡ª dead!

    ¡°Phew! Phew!!!¡± Zhang Haoyang, who almost lost his life, gasped breathlessly; the initial shock of the event still lingering in his mind and paralyzing him. After some time, he turned to look at Qin Feng, filled with fear and incredulity.

    That was way too powerful.

    ¡°He¡¯s an ability user!¡± Zhang Haoyang tried his best not to believe it but then remembered a power that Qin Feng had used before.

    Was he an Ancient Warrior and an ability user at the same time?

    Zhang Haoyang looked at the tires on the blue truck and found himself very confused.

    His aim was way too urate. Who was this Qin Feng guy? Was there nothing he couldn¡¯t do?

    On the other side, Qin Feng had withdrawn the fire runes.

    ¡°Extinguish!¡± he muttered, and the fire that engulfed Viper disappeared, revealing his singed body and punctured head. He did not look human at all.

    ¡°Absorb!¡± Qin Feng called out.

    An obscure form of energy left Viper¡¯s body and entered Qin Feng¡¯s.

    After the injection, Viper¡¯s DNA mutated, transforming him into an F-ss beast general. So, the energy that came from him was colossal in nature; Qin Feng could feel that familiar boost, permeating his flesh with a hooking form of strength. His physique was getting more robust, and his speed, his sensory abilities had all skyrocketed.

    G-tier!

    One month after his awakening, Qin Feng was already only a step away from bing an F-tier ability user!

    ¡°Chirp!¡± Xiaobai suddenly jumped down the car. Its snow-white paws did not touch the ground, untainted by dirt or dust. It raised its ws and sliced Viper¡¯s body into two halves. The flesh on the outside was ck as coal, but the inside was still fresh and red. Right in the middle of it all was an energy core.

    Xiaobai hade down just to get it!

    Qin Feng walked up to Xiaobai and grabbed the red energy core the size of a fist.

    ¡°This loot is mine!¡± Qin Feng smiled.

 Chapter 57: Illegal Underground Fighting

    <h4>Chapter 57: Illegal Underground Fighting</h4>

    Zhang Haoyang watched Qin Feng intently. Instead of protesting, he said, ¡°It¡¯s all yours, of course!¡±

    Had it not been for Qin Feng¡¯s prompt action, not only would they have failed to catch Viper, but they would all be ughtered as well.

    Qin Feng took the energy core but did not touch the body.

    Zhang Haoyang turned in the assignment, making sure to include Qin Feng¡¯s name. Another 100 points were added to Qin Feng¡¯s bounty hunter ount.

    Since Viper was a member of the anti-human organization, he was widely known, and the bounty on his head was a substantial 8 million!

    After it was divvied up to four shares, they received 2 million each. Still, it was a handsome amount.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave the rest to you. I¡¯ll be leaving!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Alright. Thank you! If you need any help next time, don¡¯t hesitate to ask!¡± Zhang Haoyang replied with a smile.

    ¡°No problem!¡± Qin Feng didn¡¯t agree but did not refuse the offer either.

    Zhou Hao had gotten into the co-driver seat while the fight was ongoing, reversing the car about 100 meters.

    When the fight was over, Zhou Hao drove the car forward.

    Soon, Qin Feng walked over, carrying Xiaobai into the car. Zhou Hao was high as a kite ¨C it was an eye-opening experience seeing how strong his good friend had be.

    ¡°Remember to send me that neigong when you get home! I¡¯m so excited right now!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s strength really gave Zhou Hao a shock, but at the same time, it had also confirmed his adventures in the past month!

    ¡°Mm, I¡¯ll send it to you when I get home!¡± Qin Feng climbed into the driver seat. At the same time, Xiaobai clung to him, begging him to hand over the energy core.

    ¡°Alright, alright. Here you go!¡± Qin Feng relented, although he knew that if he used the energy core for himself, he would improve his strength tremendously.

    But ever since he had Xiaobai, he had given all the energy cores he got to it. It was a decision he never regretted.

    After Xiaobai had absorbed the energy core, it fell into a deep slumber, signifying the dense energy contained in an F-ss beast-general¡¯s crystal core.

    Once he got home, Qin Feng began to pen down a B-ss skill ¨C Obsidian Gale ¨C from memory. He worked really hard in the previous life to obtain it, sacrificing almost everything he owned. It was also thanks to this skill that he was able to reach A-tier.

    While it could not match up to the Asteroid Assimtion, it remained a beneficial tool for Qin Feng.

    Having the Asteroid Assimtion spell at hand, Qin Feng did not need to train his Obsidian Gale. It was, however, suitable for Zhou Hao, evening with a skill called Obsidian Gale Kick.

    Since he had learned the skill for several years, Qin Feng knew it inside out, and he made sure to include the slightest details before sending it to Zhou Hao.

    Zhou Hao was over the moon as he received it.

    After that, as usual, Qin Feng did not rest. Although the absorption ability had strengthened Qin Feng¡¯s physical body, the Asteroid Assimtion failed to absorb Viper¡¯s internal force. Viper had injected himself with the mutant potion before Qin Feng could do it.

    ¡°How unfortunate!¡± he grumbled, being a little disappointed, but in all consideration, it turned out to be a pretty good day after all since his body had reached G9-tier.

    ¡°But I think there¡¯s another ce where you can fight Ancient Warriors!¡± Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.

    He did not know where this ce was, but he knew that there was one in every colony, and that was the underground fighting arena. A ce for venting the worst lust for violence, it strongly advocated brutality in its matches. It also doubled up as a ferocious fighting ring!

    Qin Feng did a quick search, and because these ces were somewhat popr, he was able to find their locations in no time.

    ...

    It waste at night; a nket of darkness cloaked the entire Chengbei colony. But where the darkness could not cover, were the mor in certain ces.

    In the most disorderly, poverty-stricken area of Chengbei, the term ¡®mess¡¯ was an understatement. There were probably corpses lying in dark corners around the ce.

    Qin Feng left hisbat uniform at home, choosing to go with more casual clothing. It made him look like royalty, in particr, a devil-may-care overtone that he carried around, giving off a really leisurely yet ferocious vibe.

    ¡°Boss! Herees a fat one!¡±

    ¡°Oh?! Are you sure? Does he have an escort?¡±

    ¡°No. It appears that he¡¯s looking for some fun. Themunicator he¡¯s holding is at least 100,000 yuan!¡±

    ¡°Damn! It¡¯s him then!¡±

    All of a sudden, a group of fierce-looking thugs surrounded Qin Feng.

    The apparent leader of the group came forth and barked, ¡°Hey kid, if you have anymon sense whatsoever, take out 1 million, or you¡¯ll lose your head!¡±

    Qin Feng stopped walking and calmly took a good look at the group. None of them wore any badges, but now that Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was so strong, he could sense that they were around G2 or G3-tier.

    On top of that, their inner force was no better than a speckle or two of smog.

    ¡°Hmm. This is better than nothing. They¡¯re just a bunch of thugs anyway!¡± Qin Feng chuckled.

    Then, before anyone could react, the Asteroid Assimtion blew the surroundings with a terrific explosion, and a powerful sucking force hit them before they knew it. Evidently, the group was under the influence of a qi field. One by one, they fell down to the ground, unable to control their bodies.

    Itsted only a few seconds. The suction was gone, and now, they were hit by a repulsion force!

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    ¡°Ouch!¡±

    ¡°Ahh!¡±

    The young men screamed at the top of their lungs as they were flung around like ragdolls, though soon to discover that this was not the worst thing happening to them.

    One of the thugs ran towards Qin Feng. ¡°I will kill you!¡±

    But just before he could plunge the knife in his hand into Qin Feng¡¯s torso, his target vanished! Right after that, a handnded on his wrist.

    Crack!

    The unmistakable sound of fractures filled the air with a frightening snap!

    ng!

    The knife he held hit the ground as the thug howled in pain.

    ¡°Do you still want to kill me now?¡± Qin Feng grinned, pushing the thug to the ground.

    ¡°No! I wouldn¡¯t dare! Big brother! I was wrong! I was wrong!¡± The thug shriveled in fear. He allowed his anger to get to his head just now, but after Qin Feng¡¯s formidable attack, he finally sobered up.

    ¡°Do you always hang out here? I¡¯m assuming the answer is yes. So bring me to the underground fighting arena!¡±

    Even though Qin Feng had been in Chengbei since he was sixteen, there were some ces that he dared not venture, this exceedingly underprivileged neighborhood being one of them. Only after he had finally set foot in this ce, did he realize howplicated the roads were. At least he got someone to show him around.

    ¡°Okay! Follow me, big brother!¡± the thug said, leading the way. His friends fell back, afraid to evene close to Qin Feng.

    Soon, they stopped in front of an impressive looking door that was massive in size.

    The ce was well lit, and the entrance was grand, featuring significant words reading ¡®Eagle Clubhouse¡¯ in gold. There were even some luxury cars lining the parking area.

    Not only did the Eagle Clubhouse operate the underground fighting ring, but they also hosted betting tables, bathhouses, and various types of entertainment. It was indubitably the moneyundering den of Beicheng!

    Each and every guard at the door wore a G9 badge across their chest. One of them was an Ancient Warrior, and the other one, a gun strapped to his back, was obviously a Gunner.

 Chapter 58: Making A Bet

    <h4>Chapter 58: Making A Bet</h4>

    Hiring elects of this level to guard the door could only mean that whoever owned this underground fighting arena had to be very powerful.

    In fact, Qin Feng knew that the owner of this semi-official Eagle Clubhouse was the deputy mayor himself, Lin Zheng.

    The guards at the door stood very still, but when a few pretty hostesses saw Qin Feng, they approached him and greeted him warmly with a ¡°Sir, wee to Eagle Clubhouse!¡±

    Qin Feng was dressed in high-end clothing, with each piece going for at least 4,000. That didn¡¯t even include hismunicator, which was itself worth a princely 100,000.

    Upstart! Fuerdai! ¨C that was how the others viewed Qin Feng!

    Qin Feng nodded, dished out about 1,000 yuan, and slipped it to one of the girls.

    ¡°Bring me to the underground fighting arena!¡±

    The woman was so thrilled to see the thick wad of cash; she looked at Qin Feng in excitement, unable to control her grin.

    ¡°Here, Xiao Lian will show you in. This way, sir!¡± The employee called Xiao Lian led the way, swaying her hips with sultry motions as she walked in front. She looked really pleased, a little smug even.

    Since the other hostesses were left out of it, they rolled their eyes at her in dissent and went on their way to look for other wealthy whales, secretly whispering amongst themselves on how lucky that bitch was to find such an affluent young man who looked a hell lot better than the others, mostly elderly and disgustingly withered.

    Qin Feng followed Xiao Lian into an elevator and noticed that she pressed the button for B1.

    ¡°What is your name, honorable sir?

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for honorifics. It¡¯s Qin,¡± he replied, but that was it. Qin Feng was a man of few words.

    ¡°What does your family do? You look really young!¡± Xiao Lian was eager to speak to Qin Feng, but he seemed uninterested.

    ¡°Exin the fight to me!¡± Qin Feng said in a cold, unfriendly tone.

    At the sharp reply, Xiao Lian¡¯s heart fell. Her experience in the business gave her a hunch that this was not going to be an easy guy to serve.

    ¡°Yes, Mr. Qin. We will see the fighting ring in a while. Thepetitors today are ck Bear, and Rolex, True sh... and the rest. They are mighty victors ¨C all of them are G-tier ability users!¡± Xiao Lian exined. The elevator came to a stop, and as the doors opened, they were instantly bombarded with a cacophony of a noisy stadium.

    ¡°Here, Mr. Qin!¡± Xiao Lian guided Qin Feng through the corridor that soon led to a brightly lit space.

    The ce was about the size of a small stadium, went up at least 3 floors, and in the center was a brightly illuminated fighting ring spanning about 20 meters.

    Qin Feng was bowled over!

    Bomb shelters like this could be used to protect the city from being attacked by ultra-beasts, and yet obscene amounts of resources had to be wasted for these things.

    Outside of the ring were flights of stairs ascending at an incline with endless rows of seats. At first nce, Qin Feng estimated that it should amodate a minimum of 10,000 people.

    Around them were giant 30-meter-wide pirs strategically ced in several parts of the structure, with each of them mounted with a massive screen disying a live broadcast of the fight.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, you¡¯re pretty lucky today. This is the fifth round, with Ruthless Tiger as the defender. His opponent, though, is ever more powerful ¨C the champion of eight consecutivepetitions! This is a level-skipping challenge!¡± said Xiao Lian. ¡°Mr. Qin, you can visit our public website on yourmunicator to see the betting odds and its payout for thepetitors!¡±

    ¡°Mm!¡± Qin Feng had no inkling of the rules of Chengbei¡¯s underground fighting scene, but he¡¯d been to other underground arenas in his previous life. Even so, he had only been a spectator. At that time, he wasn¡¯t strong enough to be in the ring.

    Qin Feng opened hismunicator and scanned the odds for the two fighters. The contender and the challenger¡¯s score was 1:5, which meant that betting a Ruthless Tiger win would have to ce 100 to earn 500 whereas Arm Breaker¡¯s odds were 6:7, so the yer would have to bet 600 to get 700.

    From the looks of it, odds were the organizer was not very optimistic about Ruthless Tiger.

    On top of that, both of them had separate reward models that were handed out directly to the candidates. The more exciting the fight, the more excited the crowd got, and the more the reward money would eventually be.

    The two fighters took to the stage!

    Qin Feng did not ce any bets, and Xiao Lian did not know if she should give him the heads up.

    [Ladies and gentlemen, an exciting fight is about to begin. Make some noise!!!]

    The loudspeakers in the arena exploded as the emcee rallied up the crowd, announcing the start of thepetition with gusto.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes locked on the stag!

    Ruthless Tiger did not look too good. Multiple injuries pockmarked his body, withrge bluish bruises covering most of his skin. His opponent, on the other hand, was filled with energy and spirit. He was evidently the more dominant one in this fight.

    This fight was a no-brainer. The match had only started when the contender called Arm Breakerunched a sudden attack on his opponent, taking the other guy by surprise. He did not stand a chance to retaliate.

    The crowd went wild, with cheers and chants echoing in the stadium. The chaotic atmosphere was reminiscent of an angry mob 10,000 strong.

    ¡°Arm Breaker! Arm Breaker!¡±

    ¡°Arm Breaker! Arm Breaker!¡±

    ¡°Come on! Crush him!¡±

    Qin Feng noticed that the rewards for both yers were increasing rapidly on hismunicator.

    Then, the emcee¡¯s voice reverberated over the loudspeaker:

    [Patron number 721 has given Arm Breaker 100,000 yuan to see Arm Breaker break Ruthless Tiger¡¯s neck. Hahaha! Let¡¯s see what Arm Breaker is going to do!]

    The moment Arm Breaker caught an ear of the emcee¡¯s announcement, he could not help but grin victoriously, and in an effort to impress, he went back down into the fight!

    Crack!!!

    One of Ruthless Tiger¡¯s arm was snapped into two by Arm Breaker and was bent at an abnormal angle. The whites of shattered bone gleamed in the spotlights as it pierced out of his flesh.

    ¡°Ahhhhh!¡± Ruthless Tiger screamed, his agony unimaginable.

    The audience erupted into an even louder roar, electrified that blood had finally been spilled.

    ¡°Arm Breaker!Arm Breaker!¡±

    Arm Breaker smirked and continued to bludgeon his opponent brutally!

    Crack! Crack! Crack!

    Subsequently, all four of Ruthless Tiger¡¯s limbs were broken.

    [Patron number 721 has given Arm Breaker another 100,000! Ah, there¡¯s more, patron number 1032, and patron 1032. We have the banks flowing for him! Gosh, they seem to all really like Arm Breaker¡¯s exhrating performance!]

    Arm Breaker waved his arms in the air, looking cocky, pumping up the crowd¡¯s zealousness further.

    ¡°I concede! I concede!¡± Ruthless Tiger howled. He had this desperate look in his eyes as if pleading for his life.

    ¡°Concede? What?! No one has ever conceded in an underground fight!¡± muttered Arm Breaker while he strode up to his opponent and mercilessly snapped his neck by twisting the head around.

    ¡°Ow ¨C¡±

    A loud hush followed by cheers erupted like wildfire. Loud shrieks and whistles of excitement from the audience; their necks and faces flushed with exhration.

    ¡°So, the ¡®exciting performance¡¯ turned out to be the brutal killing of the opponent?¡± Qin Feng mockingly told the girl.

    Even though he had been reborn, he found himself again unable to adapt to the vile insanity of the people! Maybe because they were all averageds, unable to escape the colony, and that their frustrations led them to vent their violence and fervor over here.

    Qin Feng smelled the darkness approaching.

    The crowd proved deafening, and Qin Feng had spoken so softly that Xiao Lian did not hear hisment. As for her, she quietly observed that Qin Feng did not seem excited, in fact, a little unhappy to be precise.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, if you don¡¯t like the noise, we can go to a private room. You can enjoy the fight in peace and quiet there!¡±

    Qin Feng answered coolly, ¡°No need. That won¡¯t be necessary. You know, I honestly think that thispetition is exciting. I¡¯ll challenge this Arm Breaker guy!¡±

 Chapter 59: Getting into the Ring

    <h4>Chapter 59: Getting into the Ring</h4>

    Xiao Lian¡¯s eyes widened, gawking at Qin Feng in disbelief.

    ¡°Er, Mr. Qin. This is no joke. Entering the ring is serious business. That¡¯s something only daredevils would do!¡±

    There were all kinds of strange and unusual people who had visited this ce, but one thing linked them together. They were all destitute and poverty-stricken. Qin Feng looked like he was born with a silver spoon, so why would he do such a thing?

    ¡°That¡¯s not for you to worry about. Just bring me in!¡± Qin Feng took out another wad of cash and flung it at Xiao Lian.

    When the girl saw the money, she knew that this young master would never take no for an answer. With clenched jaws, Xiao Lian cursed under her breath. She pretended to be polite. ¡°Well, if you insist, pleasee with me then, young master. I must inform you that Arm Breaker may not ept your challenge!¡±

    Qin Feng followed Xiao Lian to the registration desk.

    When the person at the desk saw the young man, he looked astonished. Qin Feng did not look like he needed the money at all.

    ¡°Excuse me, young master. Going into that ring is not something that should be taken lightly. Our rules here are that once you enter thepetition, you will have topete in 5 battles before you are allowed to decide whether or not you want to continue. One person canpete in a maximum of 35 battles. From the second day onward, all the opponents you¡¯ll be fighting against will be way stronger than you and much more experienced! Not that we¡¯ve never had people your agee along, but it¡¯s just that most of them can¡¯t evenst three rounds!¡±

    The person hoped that his brief anecdote would discourage Qin Feng from joining.

    Qin Feng, however, merely nodded, obviously unperturbed. ¡°What about the prize?¡±

    He hade to strengthen his martial arts¡¯ internal force, and it would be an added bonus if the prize were big too!

    When the man at the registration saw that Qin Feng wasn¡¯t about to change his mind, he decided that he would not care less if Qin Feng was dead or alive. He then proceeded to look up Qin Feng¡¯s particrs. If Qin Feng hailed from an influential family, all they had to do was to tell his opponent to keep him alive. That was the way things ran over here.

    ¡°If you win the first battle, you¡¯ll get 10,000, then, 50,000 for the second battle, 100,000 for the third, 500,000 for the fourth, and 1 million yuan for your fifth!¡±

    The total prize money for winning all five battles was 1.66 million. Unsurprisingly, most people got nothing as the prize money was only given out at the end of the fifth round. Take Ruthless Tiger, for example. He won the first four battles, but instead of taking home 660,000, he lost his life in the ring!

    ¡°Also, you can take home 10% of the audience¡¯s donation !¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°What about the prizes after the six consecutive wins?¡±

    At the question, the man at the registration table nearly fell off his chair.

    This young man had no idea if he would even be able to survive today, and here he was, thinking about winning six battles in a row?

    ¡°For every round of battle won after that, the prize would increase by 1 million! That means 2 million for winning six rounds, 3 million for seven, and 4 million for eight. If you win thirty-five sessive battles, the total reward would be more than 30million! By then, I¡¯m sure it wouldn¡¯t be a problem for you to win 100 billion if you wanted to!¡± The man spoke thest sentence in sarcasm, spitefully jostling Qin Feng with something impractical.

    Any typical youth would have be drunk on the idea of sess, engrossed in wild fantasies they had fabricated up their heads.

    With all things considered, 100 million yuan was an astronomical figure!

    ¡°Not bad!¡± Qin Feng nodded again. A prize like that was worth taking the risk!

    Qin Feng took out hismunicator and disyed his personal information. ¡°Sign me up!¡±

    Since he insisted on going down the path of self-destruction, the man decided that there was no point in trying to stop him. After he reviewed Qin Feng¡¯s details, the guy exhaled and had this look on his face, as if he finally understood.

    ¡°You¡¯re an orphan? You only received your awakening injectionst month!¡±

    ¡°Yup!¡±

    When Xiao Lian heard Qin Feng¡¯s answer, she was stunned for a moment. This boy was three years younger than her!

    She inspected Qin Feng¡¯s clothes andmunicator, and she suspected that he probably earned some money in the wilderness, then squandered all of it when he came back. Someone must have egged him on to join the underground fight.

    This was usually the case. The Eagle Clubhouse had to expand their business anyway, so they would often exaggerate the overnight fortune that people stood to make by participating in their underground fights. Numerous youngsters had been deceived into signing up, eventually ending up losing their lives.

    That was precisely what the guy at the registration thought.

    ¡°You seem to be pretty confident in yourself. Fine, I¡¯ll sign you up! What code name will you be using?¡±

    Code names like Ruthless Tiger and Arm Breaker...

    Qin Feng thought about the little fox sound asleep at home and answered, ¡°Deranged, Crazed, or Mad Fox!¡±

    Mad Fox.

    .....

    [The defender is a candidate called Mad Fox, and he¡¯s only sixteen years old. Hahaha! You heard that right ¨C this is a young man who has only awakened a month ago. Of course, his opponent isn¡¯t very strong either. We would never do something so barbaric!]

    The audience exploded into fits ofughter.

    If the underground fight was not barbaric, then what was?

    [His rival is... ck Psycho!]

    When the audience saw ck Psycho¡¯s details and noticed that he was a pretty decent fighter. Even though it was no professional assessment, the screen showed that he was the kind of man that could dish out a 1,000 attack punch, which was to say that this ck Psycho had G2-tier strength.

    ck Psycho was one of Eagle Clubhouse¡¯s own thugs. He worked as a hired henchman on regr days, but whenever the chance to enter the ring presented itself, he would jump at it. They even got paid 10,000 for winning, and more if he put on a great show. After all, ck Psycho was, in actual fact, simply average in terms of strength. Even so, ck Psycho had a pretty ster record. As a challenger, he had taken the lives of 11 people and only lost three battles in his career.

    ¡°This is a no brainer! ck Psycho is going to win for sure!¡±

    ¡°ck Psycho! Go... let me see you torture your opponent!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m betting on ck Psycho winning!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s odds were 1:1.3, whereas ck Psycho¡¯s odds were 3:4.

    If the people wagered on Qin Feng, they would have to risk 100 to win a mere 103, and if they bet on ck Psycho, they would have to risk 300 to win 100. In short, the profit margin for the first round wasn¡¯t the most enticing. No matter who won the battle, only the gambling house would be making any substantial earnings.

    For that very reason, old-time gamblers would not choose to ce any bets on this round.

    It was an unspoken fact that this first round was just for observation.

    [Both candidates have words that mean ¡®crazy¡¯ in their names. So, let¡¯s see which of these two is crazier! Thepetition starts now!]

    Ding! Ding! Ding!

    The bell rang, and the energy force field rose, effectively locking them in. Qin Feng and ck Psycho stood facing each other. Both of them were topless, wearing only a pair of shorts andbat shoes.

    ck Psycho was a massive guy, towering at a tall-ish 1.9 meters with coal-ck skin and bulging muscles, brimming with vigor.

    Next to him, Qin Feng¡¯s skin was a healthy tan, and the tone of his muscles was well-defined. With a lean physique, he looked like a growing young boy, and at 178 cm, he was a good head shorter than his rival.

    ¡°Hey, kid, I will tear you apart!¡± ck Psycho bared a mouthful of white teeth, looking more like sharp fangs. ¡°After that, I will bring your body back so that I can cook and eat your meat. Soft skin and tender flesh like yours should taste pretty good!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face darkened, taking on the look of a murderous killer.

    It increasingly looked like he did not need to be merciful this round.

    ck Psycho attacked first, his fist unrestrained.

    Qin Feng could kill him with one strike, but he did not want to reveal his actual strength. That, however, did not mean that he would go soft of him.

    Bash!

    Qin Feng took the chance to throw a punch at ck Psycho¡¯s face. ck Psycho¡¯s head shook a little as it bore its brunt. As blood sttered from his mouth, a few of his glimmering white teeth were flung 2 meters away!

 Chapter 60: Challenge Arm Breaker

    <h4>Chapter 60: Challenge Arm Breaker</h4>

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to eat me up? That¡¯s all you¡¯ve got? Hergh!¡± Qin Feng threw another sock.

    Bish!

    Bash! Punch!!!

    Half of ck Psycho¡¯s face became swollen.

    The audience roared and cheered, delighted to see the unexpected turn of events.

    [Wow! Patron number 182 has tipped 100,000 to Mad Fox. Let¡¯s see what he has to say? Haha! This must be a female patron. She said: to keep Mad Fox out of the ring ¨C she is willing to look after this handsome young man!]

    More and more people were cheering on Qin Feng¡¯s behalf.

    Maybe it was because of his swollen face, or because of the humiliation, that ck Psycho roared in anger, ¡°Die, kid!¡±

    He raised a leg attempting to kick Qin Feng, and at the same time, a knife tip appeared on his shoe. If Qin Feng did not dodge this kick, the de would have surely pierced his chest, and he would meet his untimely end. The shoe Qin Feng was wearing were Eagle Clubhouse standard issue, but it did not have this mechanism. ck Psycho¡¯s shoes were exactly the same, so it meant that they were a modified pair.

    There was obviously foul-y in the workings.

    But in underground fights, there was no such thing as ying dirty. There was only victory, only one¡¯s survival at y. The loser was doomed to certain death!

    Qin Feng sniggered, forming a w with his hands and grappled onto ck Psycho¡¯s calf!

    Crack!

    Qin Feng crossed his hands and broke his opponent¡¯s calf!

    Before ck Psycho could even make a sound, Qin Feng pushed upwards so forcefully that the already garishly bent calves now turned towards ck Psycho¡¯s forehead!

    ¡°Arrrghhh!¡±

    His own pointed de punctured his skull before ck Psycho¡¯s eyes flickered. Then, all the strength in his body left him, and he stopped struggling.

    Plop!

    Qin Feng gave his victim onest gentle shove, and ck Psycho copsed like jelly onto the ground.

    Fresh, warm, blood dripped out, dyeing the rims of ck Psycho¡¯s lifeless eyes.

    For a brief minute, the whole arena wentpletely still, the audienceing to grips with the sudden events. Only when ck Psycho¡¯s face was stered on the big screens did they react with an explosive thunder of apuse and hurrahs!

    Had this event taken ce in some other arena, the entire crowd would have been scared to death. But in this very location, the spectators were only more fired up.

    The adrenaline and appalling taste of death only had them shouting for more! Qin Feng¡¯s payoff was growing by the minute.

    Ding! Ding! Ding!

    The bell rang, and the referee dered Qin Feng winner.

    The voice of the emcee echoed over the loudspeaker.

    [Let us congratte Mad Fox. His valiant might has caused us to see him in a whole new light! But ck Psycho was too careless in that battle, for speed is clearly Mad Fox¡¯s area of expertise. This was how he was able to dodge ck Psycho¡¯s advances and im the victory! Mad Fox has denied ck Psycho the chance to demonstrate his caliber!]

    The emcee¡¯s words stirred and agitated the spectator¡¯s brain cells. Truth be told, while Qin Feng was fast, he was not weak either. How else did he manage to mutte ck Psycho¡¯s legs?

    However, the emcee¡¯s job was to highlight weaknesses and eschew strength attempting to sway the audience from making the right judgments ¨C a crafty method for Eagle Clubhouse to rake in huge profits at the expense of the patrons.

    Arge number of people agreed with the emcee: Qin Feng¡¯s slimmer physique naturally made him much more agile; his victory in this battle was unsurprising!

    ¡°I should¡¯ve ced my bet on Mad Fox!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s give it another go. We¡¯ll see if the opponent is stronger this time!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s probably nothing too impressive... it¡¯s only the second round!¡±

    Sure enough, thepetitors for the second battle were almost simr to ck Psycho, neither weak nor strong. Qin Feng had only sparred with his opponent briefly before defeating him. He did not kill this rival, but he absorbed his internal force instead, basically the equivalent of crippling this person.

    In the third and fourth battles, Qin Feng won them both, each fightsting no more than ten minutes.

    His score was moving upwards, and the wagers were increasing. Qin Feng, on the contrary, looked as rxed as ever.

    The spectators¡¯ confidence in him automatically grew, as if believing that Qin Feng would surely win all five battles today.

    Backstage, in avishly decorated office, sat a young man in histe twenties enjoying fine wine with a scantily dressed woman in his arms. She diligently plucked grapes and fed him with her mouth.

    This was the person in charge and the general manager of Eagle Clubhouse, Jiang Shaoyang.

    He was F7-tier, one of the top elects of Beicheng.

    ¡°This kid¡¯s not bad. We can keep him for one day. Tell the people to arrange for a more skillful candidate. Make this a handicapped match!¡± Jiang Shaoyang ordered.

    The emcee and the referee, both wearing an earpiece, each heard their boss¡¯ instruction.

    It was a brilliant move indeed. If there were five consecutive victories, they would lose the audience¡¯s interest.

    The people loved thiseback feeling.

    But then again, the purpose of setting up Qin Feng against a powerfulpetitor was to ensure Eagle Clubhouse did not make any losses.

    Spectators would naturally wager on the more intimidating candidate, the challenger. Only the few people who liked upsets would choose to ce their bets on the defender.

    Ruthless Tiger was an obvious example.

    As the setup was happening, Qin Feng raised his hand, indicating to the referee that he wanted to speak.

    ¡°What is it?¡± The referee asked.

    ¡°I¡¯d like to challenge a certain someone ¨C that guy Arm Breaker from the fight earlier tonight!¡± Qin Feng said.

    The referee was taken aback for a second, then nodded after. ¡°I know. But that green light from me would have to depend on the higher authorities!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡± Qin Feng then returned to his seat to rest up. There was actually no need for that since all of the four candidates he defeated were only G4-tier. Qin Feng knew that Arm Breaker was around G6-tier. His inner force was pretty good, and if all went well, he should be able to absorb some of it!

    ...

    Backstage, Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s smile grew cold.

    He would get ufortable with situations that were out of his control, even more so when his subordinates made unauthorized decisions!

    Qin Feng¡¯s request had troubled Jiang Shaoyang, somehow striking the superior¡¯s nerve!

    ¡°Since he¡¯s so foolhardy, we¡¯ll grant him what he desires. Remember to raise his stakes, and prompt the people to wager on him!¡±

    The people listening silently on the other end nodded obediently.

    ...

    Five minutester, the emcee spoke again.

    [Wow! I¡¯ve just received some news ¨C Mad Fox has requested to challenge Arm Breaker! This is entirely unexpected! I wonder who gave Mad Fox the confidence to challenge one of the greatest nemesis known to man?! Didn¡¯t he watch how the match ended between Ruthless Tiger and Arm Breaker just now?]

    The audience hooted andughed at the artsymentator. A few even mocked and cursed at Qin Feng, encouraged by the pundit¡¯s jeers.

    ¡°You want to challenge Arm Breaker? Are you insane?¡±

    ¡°Hell, there¡¯s no doubt about it! Arm Breaker will win for sure!¡±

    ¡°Retard! What a waste of time!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s stay and watch Arm Breaker bunch him into a ball!¡±

    The crowd was rowdy, with none of them supporting Qin Feng.

    [All-right! Is Mad Fox going to avenge Ruthless Tiger? Could this be a im of vengeance? Let¡¯s take a look at the odds for these two candidates!]

    The figures shed onto the screen.

    Qin Feng¡¯s odds were sky-high, 1:8, while Arm Breaker¡¯s was 5:6.

    It increasingly looked like an axiomatic fight was about to take ce.

    However, the emcee was beating the drum for Qin Feng, alluding to the innuendo that there may be another surprise victory for this round. Thanks to the practiced tongue of thepany man, many eventually fell for it.

    When those who bet on Arm Breaker saw that the winnings were meager, the number of bets too, declined sharply.

 Chapter 61: A Loss of 600 Million!

    <h4>Chapter 61: A Loss of 600 Million!</h4>

    ¡°I¡¯m betting on my victory, 5 million!¡± Qin Feng contacted Xiao Lian prior to transferring over 5 million.

    Staring at the number on hermunicator, Xiao Lian could not believe that she was holding such a huge sum of money in her hands.

    This only stunned her for a moment, and she immediately shoved aside the greed that was creeping within her, not daring to look at it again. After all this was not her money.

    However, at the time he was cing his bet, Xiao Lian was rather bewildered.

    ¡®Is he so confident that he can win? He¡¯s an orphan, shouldn¡¯t he be short on money? Yet, he put 5 million on himself.¡¯

    Xiao Lian looked at Qin Feng who was in the ring, and at that moment, she felt a surge of excitement.

    ¡®Believe in him! He can win!¡¯

    Xiao Lian gritted her teeth and decided to add 50 thousand from her own savings.

    As the 5.05 million on hermunicator was automatically swept away, Xiao Lian¡¯s heart began to thump rapidly in her chest.

    Arm Breaker had just re-entered the ring.

    With a crooked grin, he had already gotten the order to brutally beat the boy up, better yet, to tear him apart.

    To a G8-tier Ancient Warrior, this would be a piece of cake.

    He was only a little baby that had just recently awakened!

    In the backstage, Jiang Shaoyang watched as more and more money was bet on Qin Feng and nodded in satisfaction.

    Yes, he would be able to make tens of millions again today!

    Tens of millions, even an F-Tier ability user would have to risk their lives for up to a week in order to make that kind of money. Jiang Shaoyang only had to open his mouth and a pile of money wouldnd on hisp!

    This gave him a sense of fulfillment.

    Not only that, it also gave him a sense of control over people¡¯s lives.

    He was very pleased with himself.

    ***

    As the barriers rose around the ring, the emcee¡¯s voice rang out.

    [The peak showdown begins now! Lets see if our Mad Fox can get a five match winning streak!]

    With that said, the referee brought his hand down and the fight began.

    Qin Feng did not bother waiting, he was the first one tounch a direct attack!

    His strength was already at a G9-tier, 3 tiers higher than Arm Breaker¡¯s, and Arm Breaker was barely able to react to Qin Feng¡¯s sudden attack.

    Grimm struck out and only after a few moves he managed to grab Arm Breaker¡¯s arm before locking it behind his opponent.

    ¡°This arm. How many people¡¯s arms did this arm break?¡±

    ¡°Roar! Let me go!¡± Arm Breaker roared and struggled only to find that the force that was holding him was too powerful to break free from.

    ¡°Let go? Sure!¡±

    Qin Feng said, his hand jerked violently and in that moment he snapped one of Arm Breaker¡¯s arms.

    ¡°AAH!!!¡±

    Before Arm Breaker could continue to cry out, Qin Feng went ahead and snapped the other arm.

    Those who had seen the fight between Arm Breaker and Ruthless Tiger would have noticed that Qin Feng¡¯s actions were an exact copy of Arm Breaker¡¯s, minus the swagger and arrogance that thetter disyed.

    Qin Feng kicked at Arm Breaker¡¯s leg, knocking him down, and after two cracks sounded, he had snapped both of Arm Breaker¡¯s legs.

    ¡°You surrender now and I may be in a good enough mood to let you go,¡± Qin Feng¡¯s voice casually floated over.

    Arm Breaker quickly cried out, ¡°I surrender, I surren-...duh!¡±

    Qin Feng punched him in the abdomen, activating his Asteroid Assimtion!

    Arm Breaker¡¯s internal force felt as if it was bundled up for a moment, then all of it was absorbed. Arm Breaker knew that at that moment, all of his internal force had disappeared.

    ¡°You... What did you do to me?¡± Arm Breaker blubbered in panic.

    Qin Feng let out a frostyugh. ¡°Surrender. In underground fights, there is no such thing as ¡®surrender¡¯!¡±

    Qin Feng took Arm Breaker¡¯s line from before and tossed it right back at him, word for word.

    ¡°You yed me?¡± Arm Breaker red at Qin Feng, now knowing that Qin Feng was merely pulling his leg earlier on.

    ¡°I said that if I was in a good mood I¡¯d let you go. What a shame, because I¡¯m not in a very good mood right now!¡±

    Scumbags like these, Qin Feng would naturally not show any mercy. It was better if they died off one by one!

    ¡°You can¡¯t kill me, I¡¯m a member of the Eagle Club. If you kill me, you¡¯re never leaving this tform!¡±

    Qin Feng frostilyughed again, he would not be able to leave?

    He did not believe that. It would just be him against some G6-tier opponents, and if the Eagle Club did send people after him, it would be after he had already left.

    In fact, he could not wait for these people toe!

    With a final blow, Qin Feng pressed down onto Arm Breaker¡¯s neck and after a crunch, left his opponent with a twisted neck, and eyes rolled into the back of his head. The body copsed as life ebbed from it.

    The murderer, finally put to death!

    Qin Feng had used Arm Breaker¡¯s own tactic to kill him, leaving the onlookers absolutely speechless, and also blood boiling in their veins.

    This was truly a match that carried a grudge!

    ¡°Hahaha, I¡¯ve won a million!¡±

    ¡°Upset, this is an upset!¡±

    ¡°Awesome, what a great day!¡±

    ¡°How the f*ck is Arm Breaker such garbage! This fight¡¯s staged!¡±

    ¡°My money!¡±

    The audience roared with excitement and some started cursing out loud. However, this scene could always be seen within the Eagle Clubhouse.

    Everything had always been controlled by those behind the scene, but that was not the case today.

    Both the referee and the emcee broke out in cold sweat, this was not the oue that they thought would ur.

    It was supposed to be Qin Feng dead on the ground and Arm Breaker emerging victorious. Yet, as if some kind of ironic twist of fate, Arm Breaker was the one lying lifeless.

    Perhaps they were both stunned for too long, the audience began to get rowdy.

    ¡°Announce it! Announce it already!¡±

    ¡°Where are my winnings? Why haven¡¯t you sent it yet?!¡±

    All of a sudden, a sea of queries arose from the crowd,ing from all directions.

    ¡°Boss!¡± The referee shouted into hismunicator, to Jiang Shaoyang who was on the other side.

    ¡°Boom!¡± was the huge st of a sound that returned, it was clear that Jiang Shaoyang had flipped over his table in a fit of rage!

    In this bet of 1:8, the bet he had collected was 80 million in total. In other words, he had just lost 600 million!

    Even for the F8-tier Jiang Shaoyang, something like this was a huge sum of money. His face was contorted with rage.

    ¡°Hoo!¡± Jiang Shaoyang deeply exhaled, ¡°Announce! Convince him toe again tomorrow! He wants to y? Then we¡¯ll y it big!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Manager!¡± The referee nodded and announced the results.

    At the same time, everyone there was mouring at theirmunicators.

    Xiao Lian looked at the amount of money on hermunicator and could hardly believe her eyes.

    .4 million Huaxia tokens!

    A series of numbers that made her unable to open her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m rich! I¡¯m rich!¡± Xiao Lian said incredulously.

    Xiao Lian was so happy that she could not help herself. A seed of greed began to sprout in her heart, and at that moment she considered just taking the money and leaving.

    It was just that moment Xiao Lian¡¯smunicator vibrated.

    ¡°Got the money?¡±

    It was Qin Feng.

    Xiao Lian unwittingly looked at the ring, seeing Qin Feng standing there, indifferent and raising his sight from hismunicator and looking directly at her.

    She felt a shiver run down her spine as the recollection of Qin Feng killing Arm Breaker snapped her out of her daze.

    ¡°Sent! It¡¯s sent! I¡¯m transferring over to you right now!¡±

    Xiao Lian hurriedly transferred 40 million over to Qin Feng as her heart fell.

    ¡°Beep! Beep!¡± She received a message on hermunicator. Xiao Lian opened it and saw that it was a transfer of 1 million tokens.

    Sent by Qin Feng.

    She could hardly contain her excitement and at that moment it felt like she had the entire world.

    When she looked up again, she realized that there was no sight of Qin Feng on the ring!

 Chapter 62: Threats

    <h4>Chapter 62: Threats</h4>

    ¡°Mad Fox, here¡¯s your prize money for today. Looking at your ability, it seems that you still have a few tricks up your sleeve. Why note back tomorrow? By then you¡¯d be worth more than this!¡±

    They did not know that Qin Feng had bet 5 million on himself and in one night he had raked in 40 million.

    Now, they were giving him 2 million, including the audience¡¯s betting money, which made it a night where he struck gold.

    ¡°If you can win five matches in a row tomorrow, you¡¯ll be able to earn more than 10 million. I admire you, so young and yet so powerful!¡±

    While the man was still trying to think of what to say, Qin Feng confirmed the amount of money inside his ount and nodded. ¡°I wille again tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Haha, please do!¡± The person at the reception smiled. ¡°It would be better to stay at the clubhouse for the night, get a massage, and have a nice rest. There are plenty of prettydies here!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately rejected his offer.

    ¡°No! I still have things to do, I¡¯m off!¡±

    Stay at the club? That would mean being monitored and maybe even poisoned at any time. Naturally, Qin Feng could not agree to such a thing, and not to mention, he had to go to ss tomorrow!

    The man¡¯s expression changed, believing that Qin Feng was deliberately shying away and deciding to note tomorrow!

    Still he could not stop Qin Feng.

    When it came to something like this, it was not easy to tempt someone.

    Qin Feng had already made up his mind.

    In the manager¡¯s office, Jiang Shaoyang received a call again. His face was ignited with fury.

    ¡°Get someone to follow him, and when necessary, give him a warning. Isn¡¯t he from that orphanage? It¡¯s said that that old coot Lin Derong is highly respected by the little scamps there!¡±

    For Jiang Shaoyang however, Lin Derong was nothing but an old goat ready to be ughtered for food at any time.

    ¡°Yes, Manager!¡±

    After the man hung up, he quickly broadcasted a wave ofmunication, leading the Eagle Club escort team to dispatch a small squad.

    In this squad, there were only five people, but their strength was the same as what Qin Feng had seen at the front door. They probably had the same power level as someone in the G8 or G9 tier.

    Suchbat abilities were already terrifying enough!

    Not even two hundred meters away from the Eagle Clubhouse, Qin Feng could already feel that someone was watching him!

    He was in the slums with the towering buildings covering the sky. At night, there was almost no light and there was darkness everywhere.

    The five were obviously very familiar with their surroundings and managed to surround Qin Feng in a small alleyway, cutting him off from the front and back.

    ¡°Mad Fox, your ability is quite decent. How about you join our Eagle Club?¡± said a young man.

    Qin Feng frostily replied, ¡°I don¡¯t have that kind of intention!¡±

    After his rebirth, both the garrison and the patrol team tried to recruit Qin Feng but he had decidedly ignored them.

    The Eagle Club? What a joke!

    Not to mention, he would not possibly join the Eagle Club anyway because it was part of the deputy mayor¡¯s business.

    ¡°Boy, you dumb?!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t think that just because you have some power that you can start waving your tail feathers up in the air. The Eagle Club¡¯s strength isn¡¯t something you can ignore!¡± The others threatened Qin Feng with a lofty, condescending attitude.

    The first person who spoke before, probably their captain, said, ¡°Now now, don¡¯t freak out the kid. Mad Fox is only sixteen years old, young and frivolous. That¡¯s normal.¡±

    He changed the subject again before continuing, ¡°It¡¯s true. You really would not be able to mess with the Eagle Club anyway. Remember toe back tomorrow. Otherwise, you can run all you want but we¡¯ll find you eventually, not to mention, you can¡¯t be all alone with no friends right? I¡¯ve heard that you came out from that orphanage, even your dean would have to bow his head when he meets our Manager Jiang!¡±

    Qin Feng suddenly looked solemn.

    His expression was terrible to say the least, and under such dim lighting, it could only be vaguely made out, making it feel as if Qin Feng was absolutely furious right now!

    This was the effect they wanted!

    The captain chuckled and stepped forward to pat Qin Feng on the shoulder.

    ¡°Remember toe tomorrow! Otherwise we dare not guarantee that something unpleasant will not happen!¡±

    After the captain finished speaking, he gestured for the rest of the squad to move out.

    How could Qin Feng just let them walk away like this?

    ¡°That sucks, right now I want something unpleasant to happen to you!¡± Qin Feng said, raising a hand and instantly grabbing the captain by his neck.

    ¡°You¡¯re dead!¡±

    The captain did not expect Qin Feng to fight back. He might have killed Arm Breaker but he would not be able to stand a chance against him.

    After all, he was a G9-tier ability user. Yet, this was not a threat to Qin Feng, who could go head to head with an F-tier ability user, what was a G9 tier supposed to do?

    ¡°Snap!¡±

    Qin Feng and the captain¡¯s wrists collided with one another, and the captain felt a great forceing from Qin Feng¡¯s arm.

    ¡°Sh*t, boy, you don¡¯t know the meaning of life and death!¡±

    The rest of the squad roared and started to attack.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness pulled from the core of his power and his ability burst out. Dark runes enveloped the entire alley.

    At that moment, the four of them were lost in that infinite darkness, even losing all of their five senses as they panicked and started frantically attacking whatever was around them.

    Their attacks did notnd on Qin Feng, but instead hit each other.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The captain was trying to process the scene in his mind but in the next moment, a palm came close toward his abdomen.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    The assimtion activated, bursting forth!

    In an instant, the G9-tier Ancient Warrior¡¯s internal power felt like it was being pulled away by a vortex, many years of hard work was lost just like that!

    ¡°Ahh!¡± The captain roared but found that he had no strength left to resist.

    ¡°Crack!¡±

    Qin Feng reached down and bent the captain¡¯s neck like a twig.

    In the same manner, the other four had their internal powers absorbed by Qin Feng before he dispatched them in an utterly ruthless fashion.

    These people died without knowing what happened to them. Dark ability users were incredibly rare and Qin Feng¡¯s ability was extremely powerful.

    At this time, Qin Feng felt that the threads of his internal power had expanded the Dantian. It felt as if it was ready to burst at any given moment.

    Not only that, the five cadavers seemed to be giving off a burst of unknown energy. The energy that they have had while they were alive, of their flesh, was all absorbed into Qin Feng¡¯s body, thus strengthening it even further.

    Qin Feng suppressed the immediate feeling of ranking up. As his consciousness was pushing further, his power surged once more.

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    Five gouts of me fell onto the five bodies, and in mere moments the mes consumed the bodiespletely!

    It left no trace behind except for the dispersing ashes. Hellfire was such a useful skill!

    Qin Feng once again activated his power, Shadow Travel, and even with the countless possible forms of surveince. Nobody would have been able to detect him while he took on the guise of darkness.

    After escaping the slums, Qin Feng was finally able to rx. After finding an unupied spot, he sat down in a cross-legged manner.

    Upon gaining insight of his Dantian, he learned that it was in a mess.

    The internal power he absorbed today, in addition to his own, had be well over hundreds of threads.

 Chapter 63: Little Forebear

    <h4>Chapter 63: Little Forebear</h4>

    From the beginning, Qin Feng had absorbed 15 threads of internal force from the gangsters in the slums.

    However these internal force threads were very mottled, as thin as a cow¡¯s hair, though for Qin Feng, it was really better than nothing.

    And then, in the ring, Qin Feng managed to defeat a G2-tier, G3-tier, G4-tier, G5-tier and then thetest G6-tier Arm Breaker. The first few were just appetizers, but Arm Breaker¡¯s internal power was extremely dense,ting him up to 20 threads of internal force.

    As for the security squad from the Eagle Clubhouse just now, their team captain was fully G9 tier while the other four were also G8 tiers, which added up to a total of 41 internal force threads.

    The difference in thickness and internal force properties resulted in the mess he had to deal with now.

    ¡°Swallow!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his swallowing ability, causing his ability core to spin quickly as he gulped down the internal force within his dantian that did not belong to him.

    The internal forces were quickly absorbed and finally integrated into his own body. The meridians expanded once again, almost to a level that would cause astonishment.

    Even if he were to stop absorbing people¡¯s internal forces, his training speed would probably still be ten times fasterpared to others.

    At this time, most of the threads had been consumed, having been refined to be extremely pure as they were spat out by the power core and absorbed into Qin Feng¡¯s dantian.

    The original 27 internal force threads suddenly rose exponentially to a total number of 62. Qin Feng¡¯s strength had more than doubled.

    ¡°It was a good decision toe after all!¡± Qin Feng felt quite excited.

    However, when Qin Feng looked at his dantian with his internal vision, he noticed a problem.

    ¡°Even though my dantian is strengthened by internal force, I¡¯m afraid it can only withstand an internal force that has ten times the number of internal force threads. In no more than a few days, it seems like my Ancient Warrior level would be promoted to F tier!¡±

    This was fortunate since he had gotten himself a terribly strong enemy like the deputy mayor. How could he not attempt to quickly improve his strength?

    Having withdrawn his internal vision, Qin Feng dropped his cultivation state and left the alley.

    ***

    It was already 2 o¡¯clock in the middle of the night.

    ¡°Beep!¡±

    Qin Feng opened his door to find the house in pitch ck darkness, with only a round ball that was dimly emanating silver light appearing by the doorway.

    Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, but upon closer inspection, it was Xiao Bai!

    ¡°Xiao Bai? You¡¯re awake?¡± Qin Feng said in surprise, and in the next moment, he felt the ball move and dash toward his feet at a very fast speed.

    ¡°Ouch!¡±

    Xiao Bai¡¯s sharp teeth came down and bit into Qin Feng¡¯s leg. He sucked in his breath as he felt a sharp pain erupt from his lower leg.

    ¡°Arf arf!¡±

    Xiao Bai dragged Qin Feng by the trouser leg, biting down hard. The high quality pants could not help being torn off just like that, and with another rip it was finally reduced to rags.

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng¡¯s pants were shredded and Xiao Bai retreated for a moment before he hopped up and down on its remains.

    ¡°Arf arf arf arf!¡±

    Xiao Bai was very angry, no, absolutely fuming.

    Qin Feng and Xiao Bai had signed a contract so he could naturally feel its emotions, he was dumbfounded at the sight before him.

    ¡°Did it go crazy?¡±

    Qin Feng thought about the moniker he had in the Eagle Clubhouse, was that name perhaps prophetic?

    ¡°Xiao Bai! I¡¯m sorry! You need to calm down!¡± Qin Feng quickly uttered tofort the animal. Xiao Bai let out a frustrated yowl, turned its head and dashed up the second floor.

    ¡°Xiao Bai!¡±

    Qin Feng chased after it, seeing Xiao Bai darting into his bedroom just as the door was closing behind it. The door closed with a click, it had actually locked itself inside!

    Qin Feng. ¡°...¡±

    This fox was getting too smart for its own good! It actually managed to lock him out of his own room! For a moment, Qin Feng did not know whether to despair or be amused!

    ¡°Xiao Bai, why are you angry?¡± Qin Feng could not help but think about invoking the contract between person and fox. At that moment, Qin Feng sensed a crisp and tender voice.

    ¡°Bad Master, leaving me alone in the house. I¡¯m so mad!¡±

    ¡°And not letting me use my abilities.¡±

    ¡°Probably went to go y by himself.¡±

    ¡°Not even a gift when hees back.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯te back, stay out. This bedroom is mine.¡±

    Qin Feng was a little stunned.

    He had not expected Xiao Bai to think as such. He was not surprised by the fox¡¯s thoughts but rather surprised by the fact that these thoughts were so clear.

    After the contract,munication between the two had always been based on a vague understanding of either one¡¯s consciousness. The invocation of the contract was also a form ofmunication with an application of consciousnesses, used by beastmasters to facilitate clearmands to their ultra beasts.

    Ultra beasts did not normally understand human thinking.

    Xiao Bai was different, perhaps it was because of its high intelligence or because Qin Feng had been taking very good care of him, it had caused it to understand more and more, and to have more sensitive emotions.

    It was because Qin Feng told Xiao Bai to not use his spatial maniption in the colony that Xiao Bai did not use it in order to find Qin Feng after it woke up. After waiting for a few hours, Qin Feng returned empty handed, with no present for the fox. It was for that particr reason that Xiao Bai was angry.

    ¡°This ain¡¯t good. I need to have the little ancestor calm down!¡¯

    Qin Feng let out an indulgentugh before opening hismunicator. Tonight¡¯s winnings had been a total of 42 million, which was a huge sum of money for a G-tier person. If he wanted to, he could even buy himself a set of silver light rune equipment.

    That was not necessary though.

    Qin Feng opened up his browser and searched for energy crystal cores!

    The energy crystal nucleus had different values due to varying strengths, the Neapolitan Mastiff was worth 20 thousand.

    Beast king level crystals were worth ten times more than that.

    Qin Feng directly searched through Chengyang¡¯s Thousand Batches Auction House,

    [G8-tier Twisted Lynx King crystal core, priced at 8.3 million! ]

    [G7-tier Blue Ripple Mantis King Crystal Core, priced at 7.21 million! ]

    [G5-tier Minotaur King crystal core, priced at 5.8 million! ]

    [G9-tier...]

    After refreshing the page, Qin Feng took a closer look and chose some crystals with reasonable prices and rtively high energy before paying for his purchases.

    ¡°Using the sky pigeon express delivery, delivery within 10 minutes!¡±

    Qin Feng paid an extra 50 thousand.

    The sky pigeon was an extremely fast contract ultra beast, its gentle personality made it easy to tame. While it had no fighting power, it was used for quickmunication and goods delivery.

    In less than five minutes, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator rang. ¡°Dear VIP, your goods have arrived. Please open a window or ept it in an open area.¡±

    Qin Feng went to the roof and from afar he saw a huge pigeon.

    The pigeon had wings over a meter long with a round but strong looking body. It was carrying a package in its ws

    ¡°I see it! This way!¡± Qin Feng waved his hand.

    ¡°Roger, I¡¯llnd the pigeon immediately!¡±

    The sky pigeon had amunicator around its neck, the beastmaster was using it to direct the pigeon tond and Qin Feng sessfully obtained the package.

    Only the Wanzong Auction House was able to deliver items so quickly, and it was early in the morning too!

    Qin Feng had gotten the items, and the more-than-40-million that was on hismunicator was gone.

    Trantor¡¯s note: i think i felt something in thest part, i just can¡¯t figure out if it¡¯s despair or adoration.

 Chapter 64: Beast King Xiao Bai

    <h4>Chapter 64: Beast King Xiao Bai</h4>

    ¡°Now the little forebear shouldn¡¯t be angry anymore!¡± Qin Feng took the package down from the roof, walked to the second floor bedroom and knocked on the door.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, I brought you a present, do you want it or not?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    No movement from within.

    ¡°It¡¯s an energy core. Your favorite food!¡± Qin Feng insisted.

    This time, there was finally movement from behind the door, and with a click, the door was opened.

    Qin Feng entered the bedroom and saw that Xiao Bai was back to curling up on its pillow after opening the door, coldly disregarding his presence.

    ¡°I promise they¡¯ll taste very good. They are very powerful energy cores. I¡¯m trying to apologize, alright?¡±

    Qin Feng coaxed the fox as if he was trying to coax his daughter.

    Xiao Bai had not been growing this entire time. The only thing was its fur that was getting fluffier, and it was hardly the size of two palms. How could someone not pity this small creature?

    Qin Feng had already killed a number of people but he would not ever touch a fur on Xiao Bai.

    This far exceeded the gratitude toward Xiao Bai¡¯s saving grace. Maybe it was because of the contract. Maybe it was the days of getting along and fighting side by side.

    Qin Feng knew that Xiao Bai would never really disregard its own existence.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Xiao Bai harrumphed and finally snatched the gift away from Qin Feng¡¯s hands, at the same time giving Qin Feng a re.

    Yet, Qin Feng knew that Xiao Bai had forgiven him by now.

    Xiao Bai hugged the gift and with a swift swipe of its paws it opened up the box to see the five energy cores lying inside, all of which varied in sizes.

    Xiao Bai chose the smallest one and crunched down onto it. However, instead of falling into a deep sleep, all of the fur on its body stood up on their ends and Xiao Bai let out a whimpering sound.

    Qin Feng, who was trying to fall asleep, immediately sat up and looked at Xiao Bai. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there something wrong with the crystal core?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s first thought was that someone had poisoned the crystal cores but he felt that he was not thinking rationally.

    The aura exuding from Xiao Bai¡¯s body violently rose, this kind of aura seemed like a promotion. Not only that, the fur on its long tail was growing at a rate visible to the naked eye, almost forming a fan of some kind.

    Xiao Bai¡¯s strength was quickly rising as well.

    The different crystals Qin Feng had obtained from hunting ultra beasts were all given to Xiao Bai. Although it had only been born for a short period of time, within a month, Xiao Bai had not only evolved into a beast general, but its strength should be around G8 tier.

    Now, after eating the beast king energy core, it did not go to sleep, which meant that the power change had to be something huge.

    Xiao Bai¡¯s energy aura changed from that of a beast general to that of a beast king. Upon seeing this, Qin Feng was naturally very happy.

    A beast king contractual ultra beast. That was something most beastmasters would find impossible to have.

    Xiao Bai¡¯s potential really was immense.

    In an instant, a crystal core was gone, there was a slight drop in Xiao Bai¡¯s aura so Qin Feng hurriedly handed a crystal over to Xiao Bai, which it immediately slurped up.

    Perhaps it also realized that it had reached an important key moment.

    After a short while, Xiao Bai¡¯s power continued to rise, and its previously small-as-two-palms size grew to that of half a meter. In reality, Xiao Bai was not really that small, but because it was easier for Qin Feng to carry it around it maintained that appearance. To highly intelligent ultra beasts such as Xiao Bai, shapeshifting was almost a necessary ability.

    Xiao Bai continued to devour the crystal cores. The third one, fourth one, fifth one!

    Xiao Bai¡¯s aura violently burst forth, unleashing a startling, monarch-like majesty from its body.

    The whole Qinghu area, even the vi area next to it could feel this sudden surge in power. It would never be known just how many people were jolted from their dreams, so startled that they were ready for a fight-or-flight situation.

    ¡°Xiao Bai! Quickly reabsorb your aura!¡± Qin Feng immediately shouted.

    Xiao Bai quickly got its aura under control, but its appearance had changed greatly. Its tail had grown from the length of two palms to half a meter, but the fluffy tail had split right down the center and be two.

    A twin-tailed fox demon.

    Xiao Bai had risen to F tier, not only that, it was at the beast king tier.

    Unexpectedly, Xiao Bai managed to reach F tier before Qin Feng did!

    This new look for Xiao Bai made it look quite powerful and had this kingly majesty to it but...

    ¡°Xiao Bai, you¡¯ve be like this in just an instant. How am I supposed to take you to school today?¡±

    Xiao Bai had already made its appearance in school before.

    Upon hearing Qin Feng say that, its crystal bright eyes widened and already it seemed like it was judging Qin Feng.

    ¡°Arf!¡±

    Xiao Bai was fuming once again. It was going to be locked in the house again even after the promise that something would change, what a liar.

    Those other two-legged beasts could be seen walking around with their masters.

    With that thought, Xiao Bai suddenly thought of an idea.

    The next moment, Qin Feng noticed that the fur on Xiao Bai¡¯s body and tail had begun to quickly fade away, and the silver fur on its head was growing longer and thicker.

    Its body began to elongate, and the bald pink skin it had developed to resemble human skin.

    Its ears became round, the tip of its mouth and nose contracted, and its chin became more prominent, bing more solid.

    White-colored eyebrows, a pair of crystal fox-like eyes, a small nose and lips tender and delicate.

    Qin Feng was beyond shocked!

    ¡°You...¡±

    ¡°Master!¡±

    Xiao Bai spoke with a crisp voice, the exact voice that Qin Feng heard whenmunicating by invoking the contract.

    However, at this moment, Xiao Bai was no longer a fox, but an actual person.

    White long hair that was emanating a silvery glow reached its waist, an alluring face that did not seem mortal came up to Qin Feng and asked in an extremely arrogant tone, ¡°How¡¯s this? Can I go with you now? You humans are so troublesome!¡±

    Qin Feng. ¡°...¡±

    He only felt his nose getting hot, something warm was dribbling out and he quickly covered his nose!

    ¡°Xiao Bai! Put some clothes on first!¡±

    For the first time after his rebirth, Qin Feng felt the meaning of being in a state of frenzy.

    Xiao Bai had transformed but it bore no human instincts whatsoever, it waspletely bare with no intention of covering itself up.

    Despite having transformed, Xiao Bai was as t as an airport and looked the equivalent of thirteen to fourteen years of age. Yet, Qin Feng was unable to stop his mind from briefly rocketing off into fantasy, especially with Xiao Bai¡¯s crisp call of ¡®Master¡¯.

    He felt like he was going to have a heart attack.

    ¡°I can¡¯t wear my clothes now can I!¡±

    Xiao Bai picked up some of the scraps on the ground in distress, looking at the small wedding dress that had been torn after elevating into beast king tier.

    She only had this one set of clothing right now, the others were still being tailor made.

    Qin Feng hurriedly got up and said, ¡°Wear mine first!¡±

    He took out a shirt and put it on Xiao Bai, it looked like a big long dress.

    An especially translucent dress.

    She became even more alluring and seductive than when she was not wearing anything!

    Qin Feng remembered that before the extinction of humanity there had been books written about fox spirits that could transform into women, charming the world around them. That was apparently not an exaggeration.

    ¡°Come! Let¡¯s go buy clothes!¡±

    Qin Feng put several shirts over Xiao Bai in quick session before buckling a belt around her waist, it was barely considered a dress but it would have to do for the time being.

    After feeling more secure about her appearance, Qin Feng grabbed Xiao Bai and quickly left the house!

    As for school?

    To hell with it, he was skipping ss!

    Trantor¡¯s note: call me in 48 hours i¡¯m dying wey

 Chapter 65: Gigantification

    <h4>Chapter 65: Gigantification</h4>

    Qin Feng had Xiao Bai properly disguised with her hair curled up, hat over her head and even a pair of sunsses covering her face.

    The only thing was that the sunsses were a bit too big, then again, it was technically what he bought for himself thest time in case he needed to cover his own appearance.

    After Xiao Bai had ranked up to beast king tier, the time was already 7am and there were already people going about their business downstairs. As Qin Feng took Xiao Bai from the elevator to the underground parking lot, he heard many people discussing what just transpired as he passed by.

    ¡°Did you feel it just now? That terrifying bearing.¡±

    ¡°Yeah. Probably a beast king.¡±

    ¡°My rm didn¡¯t go off so it probably wasn¡¯t a threat.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s probably too fast, that¡¯s why it didn¡¯t get picked up, some terrifying beast king probably just zipped past or something.¡±

    ¡°Thank goodness it¡¯s just passing by!¡±

    Everyone seemed relieved. Only Qin Feng, who had Xiao Bai the initiator, did not attempt to participate in the discussion as he got into his hover car and drove out of the basement.

    Due to the store they shopped from before having a good impression on Qin Feng and Xiao Bai, this time they directly went to the branded store.

    ¡°Wee... Ah, Mr. Qin!¡±

    A surprised voice sounded and Qin Feng looked up. It was Xiao Lian who he had met at the Eagle Clubhouse yesterday.

    Qin Feng was also a little bit surprised.

    ¡°Why are you here?¡±

    Xiao Lian put on a customary smile before ncing to the side for a moment, and said, ¡°I work here, that stuff at the Eagle Clubhouse was only just my part-time job. I don¡¯t do it anymore!¡±

    Qin Feng knew at first nce that she was lying.

    Xiao Lian indeed was not telling the truth as she had been working at the Eagle Clubhouse since she was sixteen and could be considered one of the veterans there. Having worked there for so many years, she naturally had several powerhouses backing her up, though the job required one to be young. Also, if someone were unhappy with them they might even turn up cold the next day.

    Even though Xiao Lian had worked there for three years, she had experienced matters of life and death, and she had to use her own money to buy therapeutic drugs to survive. As she was without a skill, she did not want to give up that job.

    What happened the day before managed to change her life.

    Including the money Qin Feng gave her, Xiao Lian had umted a total savings of 1.4 million yuan, enough to buy a house in the civilian district.

    When you think about it, was not wanting a shelter over one¡¯s head the reason why one would work hard?

    Xiao Lian made the decisive action to leave the Eagle Clubhouse. Fortunately, she had been sensible and obedient. The Eagle Clubhouse also had a lot of public rtions with the local tyrants so she was happily released.

    With the money in hand, she briefly thought about how to squander it before remembering the brand of Qin Feng¡¯s clothing that was bought from this store.

    As soon as she came over, she discovered that it was hiring employees. Xiao Lian immediately decided to work here, hoping to meet Qin Feng someday.

    Who would have known that she was this lucky to have arrived ten minutes before Qin Feng did.

    ¡°Huh. Not bad.¡± Qin Feng nodded, not bothered to pry into her lie.

    It was certainly best to not have to work in that wretched hive of scum and viins like the Eagle Clubhouse.

    ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re here, now help her find a set of clothes. Include sets of undergarment!¡± Qin Feng sounded a little embarrassed before pointing to Xiao Bai who he had been dragging around.

    Xiao Bai was not paying attention, ncing all around.

    Thest time she came here, she was still a tiny fox. Naturally she only found the wedding dress that little foxes could wear. Today, she decided that clothes for two-legged beasts were much more pleasing.

    Though, the sunsses made everything around her too dark. She reached up and pulled down her sunsses to reveal her devastatingly beautiful face.

    ¡°I want this one, and that one and this one!

    Without holding back, Xiao Bai started to choose what she wanted.

    ¡°Yeah, tell her what you want. You can go take a look!¡± Qin Feng put Xiao Bai in Xiao Lian¡¯s hands before shuffling off to the sofa to rest.

    Perhaps he was truly exhausted as he was unable to stop his eyes from closing as he recuperated.

    Xiao Bai did not cling onto Qin Feng, instead she started picking up clothes that she wanted and dashed into the fitting room.

    When Xiao Lian saw Xiao Bai, she developed a strong sense of jealousy.

    This girl had very beautiful looks even though she looked like a child. Yet, she was very alluring and even her voice sounded nice.

    Not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s indulgent attitude hurt Xiao Lian¡¯s feelings, he treated her like an attendant, yet when dealing with this other girl, he was unconsciously spoiling her.

    ¡°Miss, over here please, what are your measurements? We have all sizes here!¡±

    ¡°What size? I don¡¯t know? Didn¡¯t the Master say that you were supposed to help me?¡± Xiao Bai said as a matter of factly.

    Xiao Lian felt like her heart was getting squeezed.

    Xiao Lian smiled and said stiffly, ¡°Then let¡¯s try it out, here please!¡±

    The two women entered the fitting room. While Xiao Lian had money and power, inparison to this other girl she felt like an old fox.

    Xiao Lian was jealous deep down, and she could not stop herself from being sharp and unkind with her words, perhaps even thinking about some minor bad intentions.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, you call Mr. Qin your master. Are you his servant?¡±

    Xiao Bai gave the other a strange look before thinking about how she got along with Qin Feng and said indifferently, ¡°No, more like he serves me! He prepares food for me, and will buy me presents when I get angry!¡±

    It really was Qin Feng serving her!

    Xiao Lian¡¯s face contorted a little.

    This girl was deliberately showing off!

    Xiao Bai was an ultra beast and had very keen senses. At this time, she would no longer stand Xiao Lian¡¯s hostility and lost it for a moment.

    Her tone became chilly, not bearing any fury but full of prestige, sort of simr to the aura that Qin Feng gave off.

    ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    Xiao Lian was dumbstruck. After gasping, she screamed, ¡°...Aaah! A monster!¡±

    Qin Feng who had been resting his eyes to recuperate immediately opened his eyes and rushed toward the fitting room in the fastest pace he could physically perform, then his eyes widened as he found a terrified Xiao Lian and an innocent looking Xiao Bai.

    He wanted to m his head into the wall at that moment.

 Chapter 66: The Dark Plague

    <h4>Chapter 66: The Dark gue</h4>

    ¡°Stop fussing. She is a user with transfiguration ability. This happens all the time,¡± Qin Feng exined.

    Xiao Lian was hardly convinced. She looked at Qin Feng suspiciously.

    ¡°Stop sticking your nose in matters that you are not supposed to know. Get out of here,¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°My apologies, Mr. Qin.¡±

    To Xiao Lian, this man was full of mystery.

    She knew that Qin Feng was an orphan that had only awakened about a month ago. However, his unparalleled growth in strength and the peculiar girl by his side were highly unusual. Could he be some sort of secret human weapon developed by the authorities?

    Xiao Lian created all sorts of headcanons regarding Qin Feng¡¯s identity without knowing that her idol, too, was having a headache inside the fitting room.

    ¡°What on earth happened?¡± Qin Feng could not help but ask.

    Xiao Bai answered, ¡°That female human was being funny. She said I must first grow before I am allowed to serve you. She even criticized me for looking awful in this dress!¡±

    Xiao Bai had just learned how to put on human attire. The V-neck gown on her generously exposed her deep cleavage. Qin Feng touched his nostril to make sure he was not having a nosebleed.

    What kind of nonsense did Xiao Lian just utter?

    ¡°Your current look does not match such a body shape. Ignore what she had just said.¡±

    Qin Feng did not care about the child-like look on such a sexy body.

    ¡°Is that so? But I think I look better this way.¡±

    Xiao Bai did not seem to be easily persuaded.

    ¡°If that is so, then at least reduce the size.¡±

    ¡°Alright then...¡± Xiao Bai agreed reluctantly.

    ¡°Smaller!¡± Qin Feng ordered with a hoarse voice.

    ¡°How about this?¡±

    Qin Feng reached out and felt it with his hand. He then nodded. ¡°Okay, this should do.¡±

    Xiao Bai looked into the mirror and examined herself.

    ¡°I see. So the size is a little exaggerated just now. I get it now!¡±

    Qin Feng was speechless.

    The embarrassing shopping spree finally came to an end after Qin Feng personally picked a bra and brought a few more clothes for Xiao Bai.

    ¡®Is it because my body is still very young right now?¡¯

    Qin Feng suppressed his inner desire gushing through his blood vessels. He had been fighting a lot after he was reborn and he now realized that he might have other needs to fulfill...

    However, he soon discarded the thought once Xiao Bai¡¯s charming yet na?ve face came before his sight.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. We need to go get you an identity.¡± This idea came into Qin Feng¡¯s mind when Xiao Bai had taken the human form.

    There should not be much of a hassle for her to get one now with a human appearance.

    Qin Feng led Xiao Bai back to the orphanage. Those threats by the gangsters the day before were still lingering in his mind. He was worried and figured that it was best to pay the orphanage a visit to check on the kids.

    The orphanage was as crowded as always. Nevertheless, the kids were not as lively. They appeared lethargic and seemed to be shrouded by a gloomy aura.

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows.

    ¡°This is odd. What¡¯s the matter?¡± He was perplexed.

    The kids were still excited to see Qin Feng. A lot of them recognized him from before. ¡°It¡¯s the big bro that brought us a lot of meat!¡±

    ¡°Brother Qin!¡¯

    ¡°Hi, Brother Qin!¡±

    ¡°Hi, kiddos! How are you guys today?¡±

    Qin Feng dragged a kid closer to him and patted his head.

    ¡°Have you all eaten the meat that I brought over?¡±

    ¡°Yea!¡±

    ¡°How many?¡±

    The kid in his arm was only three to four years old. He did not really know how to count yet. Besides, who would have counted how much meat one had eaten?

    Despite that, some older kids responded, ¡°We had ten slices. We are much stronger now after eating the tasty meat!¡±

    Qin Feng pinched the kid¡¯s shoulder and nodded. Indeed, the kid¡¯s build had grownrger from thest time he met him. The dark aura on his face was less prominent as well.

    ¡°Master, they are infected by the ck gue,¡± Xiao Bai informed him.

    Qin Feng was stunned. He frowned and said, ¡°How¡¯s that possible?¡±

    He did experience the same incident before his rebirth. The kids in the orphanage were infected by the contagion and none of them survived the epidemic. He had already absorbed the Hell Stone beforehand and had hunted down numerous Corrupted Ultra Beasts to stop the spread. What was the source of the contagion this time?

    ¡°Nothing is impossible, my dear master. However, all you need to do is simply absorb the dark rune of this que with your ability and the kids will be safe,¡± Xiao Bai suggested. This was a natural phenomenon for Xiao Bai, who had an ultra-beast inheritance.

    Xiao Bai may be ignorant toward the human social code but when it came to knowledge about runes, human beings¡¯ hundreds of years of research would still be dwarfed by Xiao Bai¡¯s heritage.

    Qin Feng hence followed Xiao Bai¡¯s instruction and activated his ability.

    The kids did not understand the conversation between them and looked curiously at Xiao Bai. All of them were stunned by her beauty.

    ¡°Big Sis, you are just like an angel!¡±

    Xiao Bai returned thepliment with a mesmerizing smile and the kids immediately ditched Qin Feng for her.

    Qin Feng did not stop them and focused on sipping in the dark force.

    He did not close his eyes. Even without the Inner Vision, he could tell that the dark rune representing death was detaching from the younglings bit by bit as it rushed toward his mind.

    The smiles on the kids¡¯ faces were growingrger andrger. It was as if their difort and lethargy had evaporated, being bathed by Xiao Bai¡¯s gracious presence.

    ¡°Phew!¡±

    Finally, the dark cloud around the kids hadpletely vanished. Qin Feng was relieved and troubled at the same time.

    There must be some exnation for this. Otherwise, these kids would not have fallen prey to the contagion.

    Qin Feng decided that he would go back and check out on the ce where he had previously found the Hell Stone.

    ¡°We should go in now, Xiao Bai.¡±

    They waved goodbye to the children and marched toward the director¡¯s office.

    ¡°Qin Feng, it¡¯s you!¡±

    ¡°How are you, my old director?¡±

    Qin Feng greeted the director and was pleased to see that the old man was in good shape.

    ¡°I am fine. Who is this prettydy? Don¡¯t tell me she is your girlfriend?¡± Lin Derong was surprised by Qin Feng¡¯spany and took a jab at him.

    ¡°Er... Where should I begin...¡± Qin Feng wanted to deny it at first but realized that it might actually be just the usible decoy he needed.

    It was not like he could tell the director that Xiao Bai was his pet!

    Simrly, would it not be weird if Xiao Bai were to tell others that Qin Feng was her master?

    Apparently, that was exactly what Xiao Bai had just tantly told the director.

    ¡°The thing is, I found her in the field. She might be an experimental subject of the Dark Coalition. See!¡± Qin Feng removed Xiao Bai¡¯s hat and revealed her silver eyebrows and hair.

    ¡°In short, she knows nothing about human society and greatly depends on me now. I have decided to shelter her and give her an identity. I hope you can help me out.¡±

    Qin Feng had made up the lies on his way here. This helped exin her unnatural hair color and why she was unfamiliar with human beings.

    Xiao Bai acted innocently and looked at the old man. She had already met Lin Derong before without him knowing. She was peeking from inside the bag back then.

    ¡°Those scums from the Coalition. Pfft!¡± Lin Derong took a good look at Xiao Bai and figured that she was too unique to be considered a normal human being. He could not hold back his anger recalling the rumor that the Dark Coalition was experimenting on human-beast hybrids.

    ¡°Worry not. I will get you an identity.¡±

    Even if Qin Feng were not one of the orphans that had lived here before, Lin Derong would still happily lend him a hand.

    After all, he was the generous phnthropist that had donated the beast general¡¯s meat to the orphanage.

    Thus, Lin Derong had no reason to reject when Qin Feng came to ask for his aid.

    ¡°So, what¡¯s your name? Do you have one?¡± Lin Derong asked.

    Xiao Bai blurted naturally, ¡°I¡¯m Xiao Bai!¡±

    Lin Derong was irritated. Was that not more like a dog¡¯s name?

    Despite that, he forced a smile and said gently, ¡°Let¡¯s use a more elegant name, shall we?¡±

    Xiao Bai turned to Qin Feng, who was equally embarrassed. The name ¡°Xiao Bai¡± was made up by him. At first, Xiao Bai did look like a Hiromi dog and she is theoretically still a canine after she transformed into a fox. But this name was indeed inappropriate for the pleasant youngdy she appeared to be now.

    Looking into the glossy pair of eyes on Xiao Bai¡¯s face, an idea popped up in Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    ¡°Let¡¯s call you Bai Li*.¡±

    ¡°Bai Li?¡± Lin Derong gave it a thought and nodded. ¡°This will do. Let me key this in.¡±

    While Lin Derong was busy editing the info, Qin Feng stroked Xiao Bai¡¯s long hair. Though it was not as fluffy as her fur, it was still silky smooth.

    ¡°From now onward, you should introduce yourself as Bai Li, Qin Feng¡¯s girlfriend. Just tell them I am your boyfriend if someone asks about me, okay?¡±

    ¡°Yes, master.¡± Xiao Bai, also known as Bai Li now, nodded obediently. Sheprehended that Qin Feng did not want her to address him as master anymore.

    ¡®Is it a taboo in the human world? No wonder the two-legged female creature was overreacting just now.¡¯

    In her mind, Bai Li had automatically registered ¡°boyfriend¡± into the same category as ¡°master¡±.

    Shortly afterward, Lin Derong hadpleted the registration and uploaded the data into the newmunicator bought by Qin Feng. He then passed it over to Bai Li.

    Beep beep beep!

    Themunicator that belonged to Qin Feng rang abruptly.

    ¡°Qin Feng, why are you not in school today? Skipping ss on your very first day?¡± Zhou Hao asked in a concerned manner. He wondered what had happened to stall his best buddy froming to school.

    He went to the university by himself today. Though Qin Feng owned a hover car, Zhou Hao knew just how bad the traffic could get inside the colony in the mornings. It would be very troublesome for Qin Feng to pick him up so he politely refused his kind offer to fetch him when they parted the day before.

    After all, he was just a buddy and not his girlfriend.

    To his surprise, Qin Feng was nowhere to be seen when he went to look for him after ss. He asked around and found out that he was absent today. That was when he decided to contact Qin Feng.

    ¡°I have some urgent errands to run,¡± Qin Feng answered ambiguously and did not provide the details.

    ¡°I see. Please do remember toe in the afternoon. I heard that there will be an important assembly.¡± Zhou Hao reminded him.

    ¡°Okay. I will be there.¡±

    He hung up and then took his leave from Lin Derong¡¯s office. However, before he stepped out of the room, he could not help but turn back. ¡°Old man, I took part in the illegal arena to strengthen myself not long ago. Those men there tried to ckmail me with this orphanage. I might have identally caused you unwanted trouble. But be rest assured, I will sort it out quickly.¡±

    After he had witnessed Lin Derong¡¯s influence before, Qin Feng no longer saw the dean as a helpless old man. The dean had his connections and considerable authority around here so he thought that it was best to be honest with him.

    ¡°The illegal arena, eh?¡± Lin Derong tensed up but did not rebuke Qin Feng for his actions.

    After the previous battle, Qin Feng was not the only one who had changed his perception of Lin Derong. Lin Derong was equally impressed by Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities.

    ¡°Qin Feng, if you have the confidence, then just go ahead and do whatever you deem necessary. As for the potential trouble, leave it to me. Those gangsters¡¯ threats are nothing but trash talk. Even with that fe Jiang Shaoyang backing them, they still would not be able to touch me,¡± Lin Derong said.

    ¡°Jiang Shaoyang?¡± The name did not ring a bell. However, since it wasing from Lin Derong, Qin Feng believed that he must not be a small character.

    ¡°Yes. He is an F7-tier Ancient Warrior in charge of the Eagle Clubhouse though his power is slightly weaker than those in the same rank. He is a narrow-minded man and behaves unpredictably. Please be careful if you evere across him.¡± Lin Derong warned.

    ¡°I will take note. Thanks, old man.¡±

    Qin Feng and Bai Li headed to the university after they left the orphanage.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, can you turn back into the fox form?¡± Qin Feng asked. Xiao Bai had been exposed once inside the university. Besides, he could not smuggle her into the university in broad daylight.

    Bai Li rolled her eyes. ¡°The humankind sure is problematic.¡±

    Xiao Bai instantly shrank and returned into the fox form that was only asrge as the size of two palms.

    Nheless, this was actually Xiao Bai¡¯s most frightening battle form.

    Xiao Bai crawled out of her clothes. The bra was still clinging on her head.

    Qin Feng smiled and picked up Xiao Bai, and he ced her on his shoulder. Only then, he came down from the car and walked toward the university.

    He bumped into Cheng Chao, the lecturer who tested him during the entrance exam halfway to the university block.

    ¡°Qin Feng, why didn¡¯t you attend ss this morning?¡± Cheng Chao asked without hesitation.

    Qin Feng was surprised that the teacher was aware of his absence. He had long graduated in his past life. The adult mind in him was still not used to being supervised and lectured by an educator in this way.

    Qin Feng answered awkwardly, ¡°I had something to attend to. How did you know?¡±

    Cheng Chaoughed. ¡°I thought that you were not going to show up. I am your ss teacher, that¡¯s why I was told about your absence. Let¡¯s go. We still have a lecture about elements followed by the grand assemblyter on. Please don¡¯t run away from school again. Though the sybus in this university is considered easy, it¡¯s still pretty hard for you to graduate if you keep skipping the important sses.¡±

    Cheng Chao¡¯s expertise was none other than the introduction on abilities. Thus, it was not surprising that he had been assigned as their headteacher.

    When they reached the lecture room, the sixteen-year-old teenagers who had just graduated from middle school were sitting quietly on their seats waiting for Cheng Chao.

    Cheng Chao grinned when he saw all the young blood in his ssroom.

    ¡®Teenagers are indeed the most adorable ones!¡¯

    ¡°Qin Feng, please introduce yourself. The others have already done that this morning so you would have to get to know them on your own.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and scanned his ssmates. The number of students in this batch was even fewer than that of the previous years. There were only twenty one of them. Qin Feng memorized all their faces with only a single nce despite not knowing their names. He knew that these people would be the bestbatants in Chengbei Colony one day in the future.

    ¡°My name is Qin Feng. I graduated from Tenth Middle School. There¡¯s nothing special about me except for my pet.¡± Qin Feng tapped the fox that had recoiled into a ball of fur on his shoulder.

    ¡°This is my contractual beast. She is extremely powerful. I hope that none of you will touch or approach her out of curiosity in the future. I will not be held responsible if something terribly unfortunate were to happen to you.¡±

    *Trantor note: Á§ (Li) stands for ÁðÁ§ (ze, glossy) in this context. In addition to that, the second chinese word of fox (ºüÀê) also has the same pronunciation as Li, thus the association in naming of Xiao Bai as Bai (°×, white) Li (Á§, also a wordy for fox, Àê).

 Chapter 68: Light Ability User, Deng Nian

    <h4>Chapter 68: Light Ability User, Deng Nian</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s self-introduction sounded more like a warning.

    Xiao Bai disliked human contact when she was still a fox. Now that she had transfigured into the human form, Qin Feng had also be more possessive. He did not wish to see his Xiao Bai being touched and teased by others like a random domestic pet.

    To the others, Qin Feng was simply being arrogant.

    His ssmates began to chastise him.

    ¡°Who¡¯s this guy? How dare he act all high and mighty with such a shitty talent?¡±

    ¡°So what if he has a pet?¡±

    ¡°The Tenth Middle School? Isn¡¯t that the school near the slums? I heard that students there are either orphans or beggars.¡±

    All of a sudden, the students in the ss began to look at Qin Feng with contempt and scorn.

    That was exactly the oue Qin Feng wanted. Otherwise, he would not have revealed his middle school name. Actually, there was no distinct segregation between the ten middle schools inside Chengbei Colony. However, since these schools were located in different parts of the colony, the students in each school naturally originated from distinct social sses. The Tenth School was situated near the peripheral right on the border between the city and the slums, where Qin Feng¡¯s orphanage was located. As such, it was normal for the school to bear a negative reputation.

    Qin Feng, who was a little out of tune with the surroundings, was instantly alienated by his peers.

    Cheng Chao was annoyed. He could see that Qin Feng was going to be a thorny presence in the ssroom.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough. Qin Feng, find yourself a seat. We are starting the ss now.¡±

    The seating arrangement was such that everyone had their own individual seats. There were several empty seats left at the back so Qin Feng picked one near the window.

    Cheng Chao switched on the projector and began the ss.

    ¡°The very reason you are all here is that you are the only students that have awakened your core energy. What we are going to learn in this ss include the basics, and structure of ability, followed by rune rearrangement, etc.¡±

    ¡°After Doomsday, ability users began to sprout amongst the humankind. The abilities could be generally categorized into ten factions, which are metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, light, and dark. Each of these factions represent a unique force...¡±

    ¡°Ability is structured by runes and the runes for each faction upy the very atmosphere we are living in right now...¡±

    ¡°To master the ability, one would need to absorb runes for his or her own use. There are two ways to aplish this. First, you can absorb the rune present in the environment. The level of difficulty varies ording to different environments. For instance, ...¡±

    ¡°Second, you can do it through hunting down monsters or beasts born naturally with ability. The nature of their runes could be extracted mechanically from the ability core found in their brains.¡±

    ¡°The rune structure and arrangement of each faction or element are dissimr from one another. In the university library, there are a lot of records detailing the types of runes and their corresponding effects. You may read up about it if you are interested in any particr faction. Since the ability of each student in this ss is unique, you may consult me individually after this. Next, I am going to show you some simple methods to train and manipte runes, as well as how to enhance your consciousness...¡±

    Qin Feng paid great attention to the lecture. He had learned most of the knowledge in his past life but it was not asprehensive. He understood the nature of ability better now after listening to Cheng Chao¡¯s teachings.

    ¡®There are guidebooks in the library? I wonder whether any of them are focused on the dark faction.¡¯

    Cheng Chao then switched the topic into consciousness, something Qin Feng did not have the chance to venture into in his past life. For the entire period, Qin Feng¡¯s concentration did not wane from the man in front of the ssroom. He was deeply astonished by the new knowledge Cheng Chao was delivering to them.

    Standing in front of the ss, Cheng Chao was mindful of the students¡¯ focus level.

    ¡®That¡¯s S-grade consciousness for you. His concentration did not cken even once when he has set his mind on it.¡¯

    The lecturested for an hour. The other students lost interest halfway since they knew that most of the knowledge was avable on the inte. They were not as focused as Qin Feng toward the end of the ss.

    ¡°Okay, we will end here today. Now, let¡¯s move to the grand hall. The grand assembly is beginning soon.¡± Cheng Chao instructed his students.

    The grand assembly was unlike the normal assembly being held weekly. This only happened once per year and it was the only time the students were allowed to meet the strongest fighter of Chengbei Colony, E-tier ability user Deng Nian, in person.

    This was the old guy Wang Chen had mentioned when he invited Qin Feng to join the Tiger me troop. This would be the first time Qin Feng met Deng Nian after he was reborn. He did not cross paths with the old man in his previous life. Yearster, Qin Feng became an A-tier Ancient Warrior¡ªan existence that even Deng Nian looked up to.

    For others, they were eager to see Deng Nian up close. Unlike Qin Feng who had experienced far greater force, to them, Deng Nian was no different from a savior in Chengbei.

    Qin Feng frowned as he suddenly felt a great sense of irk.

    ¡®I almost forgot Deng Nian is a light ability user.¡¯

    The light and dark were two opposing factions that unsettled one another. Currently, Deng Nian was addressing the assembly while releasing bands of unique rays around him that took the shape of the sun. It swirled quietly and advertently drew the attention of the crowd toward it.

    ¡°The one on the stage is our powerful headmaster. See it for yourself, all the rays are concentrating on him.¡±

    ¡°Mr. Deng is truly a formidable ability user!¡±

    ¡°What an amazing power. I heard that he can save anyone from the brink of death as long as the person is still breathing! That¡¯s as close as resurrecting the dead!¡±

    Most of the students gazed at the headmaster with great admiration. The assembly began as Deng Nian¡¯s voice was being amplified and reached the crowd below him.

    The students from the earlier batch did not need to be present and joined the assembly through broadcasted feed. Even so, they were equally excited to hear the headmaster¡¯s speech.

    Deng Nian was the embodiment of the Chengbei spirit and its people¡¯s faith.

    ¡°Wee aboard, new recruits.¡± He spoke in a respectable and gripping tone. Qin Feng was perhaps the only one unfazed by the headmaster¡¯s firm voice.

    Luckily, Deng Nian did not waste much time on useless babble and Qin Feng was able to get the content he was here for.

    ¡°You all have just joined the university but this is not a yground! I want you to fully utilize theing month to better your skills. One month from now, we are going to hold aprehensive evaluation of the students. Those qualified will be dispatched to the stable spatial rift, Spring Hunting Ground. This is a joint-operation that spans across the five main universities in this colony. The top ten students will be awarded a G-tier insignia, while the top hundred will receive fabulous rewards. Therefore, please give it your best!¡±

    The news stirred an uproar among the crowd.

    A lot of students had actually chosen to enroll in the university because they were unprepared to face real danger in the outside world just yet. Unexpected to many, they were going to be thrown right in the face of danger so soon.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, was enthused to hear the announcement.

    ¡®Spring Hunting Ground!¡¯

    This stable spatial rift was under the direct governance of the five main universities in Chengbei. It was the perfect training ground for students to enhance their power thanks to its rich resources and subpar beasts.

    However, Qin Feng was aware that in the middle of the hunting ground stood an immensely valuable fruit tree. It was called the Consciousness Tree.

    Qin Feng¡¯s main objective foring to this university was none other than the fruit on this tree. As its name implied, it was a useful ingredient for improving one¡¯s consciousness.

    Deng Nian spoke again as if he was answering the panicky crowd, ¡°The colony needs heroes, my young apprentices. I suggest that each and every one of you start to think and behave like one. There are still a lot of unknown dangers lurking outside the barrier waiting to be resolved by people like us. We need reinforcement now more than ever, especially when our colony is facing a threat of an unprecedented scale.¡±

    A video promptly appeared on the giant screen.

 Chapter 69: The Corpse Corps

    <h4>Chapter 69: The Corpse Corps</h4>

    The footage was clearly captured using a drone. It was taken from the top of a mountain range at a time near the end of summer, right before spring began. The nts at the perimeter were still growing vibrantly without any signs of wilting. Yet, huge dark spots were seen spreading out from the center of the mountains. The affectednd was stained with a dark brown color, indicating its infertility. nts there appeared ck as if they had been scorched.

    That was not the end of it. The movements spotted on the mountain top were far more unsettling.

    It was swarm after swarm of zombies.

    The drone flew in deeper. Right at the center of the mountain peak, a dark knight riding a skeleton horse stood out from the legion around it. The ming soul burning within its skeleton rose and stared directly into the camera.

    In the next moment, the javelin in its hand was tossed into the air. Inch by inch, the crowd could see the spearhead closing in on the screen until finally, the video cked out and there was dead silence.

    ¡°Gasp!¡± Those with a weak mind were unable to refrain from crying out in horror. They felt like the javelin was going to break through the screen and reach them.

    Though it was just footage, many students were actually relieved that they were still alive.

    ¡®What is that surreal creature? How can it be so powerful?¡¯

    Qin Feng was equally restless. He realized that the location of the video was exactly where the Hell Stone had crashed.

    No wonder the kids from the orphanage were infected by the dark rune again.

    Though he had gotten rid of the dark stone, the colony was still in great peril just like in his past life. Only this time, the menace was not from the corrupted beasts but a legion of well-organized zombies!

    ¡®The skeleton knight must be at least an F-tier beast king.¡¯ Qin Feng thought to himself.

    Deng Nian¡¯s voice rose again. ¡°Currently, we need to unite all avable forces inside Chengbei to defend against the powerful beast. All G-tier aptitude users in the second and third years, as well as the supporting aptitude users, will be deployed to the field.¡±

    ¡°This marks the end of the 69th grand assembly of the university. Dismiss!¡±

    The initial joy in the jubnt students at the beginning of the assembly had now been reced by deep thought and fear.

    Cheng Chao shook his head and murmured, ¡°Looks like the freshmen are truly frightened. As far as I can remember, they would usually show milder content like a documentary in the past years.¡±

    Those documentaries were equally daunting but it was less traumatizing than this one.

    The university was not going to cut the students any ck. It was not like they were able to stay protected inside the colony after they had entered the school. They would not be able to step out of theirfort zone this way.

    On the contrary, the principle of the university was to let the students battle as much and as early as possible. The teachers would encourage the students to explore the wild, either through direct influence or indirect persuasion.

    Otherwise, things like Li Yaoyao forming an expedition team would never have happened.

    While Cheng Chao was in his own train of thought, Qin Feng approached him quietly.

    ¡°Sir, I wish to join this operation.¡± Qin Feng volunteered himself.

    Cheng Chao thought that he had heard him wrongly. ¡°Qin Feng, you should not act out of impulse. Focus on your studies and training first. You can join when you are truly ready. Besides, you won¡¯t be allowed to join since you are not a support member.¡±

    Qin Feng thought about it and asked, ¡°What if I have earned the G-tier aptitude user badge? Will I be qualified then?¡±

    Cheng Chao was unable to rebut. ¡°Theoretically, yes. But practically, it would be impossible with your current skill set.¡±

    Qin Feng did not insist and took his leave. His ssmates looked at him like he was a madman.

    ¡®You want to join the operation fighting those scary zombies? Dream on with that useless talent of yours!¡¯

    Qin Feng operated hismunicator and called Zhou Hao. ¡°Do you want to join the zombie-cleansing operation?¡±

    ¡°Sh*t! As much as you do!¡± Zhou Hao answered without any hesitation. He had trained painstakingly for this day. He wished to fight!

    He hardly saw Qin Feng recently. Luckily this best buddy of his had not forgotten him.

    ¡°You got an idea?¡± Zhou Hao asked curiously.

    ¡°Yes. Meet me in the evening on the day after tomorrow.¡±

    Zhou Hao was very excited.

    The day ended after the grand assembly was over. He grabbed a quick dinner at home and went straight to bed after that. He needed the rest badly after the busy week. More importantly, he still had a difficult fight waiting for him at night.

    ***

    At 10pm, Qin Feng once again appeared at the Eagle Clubhouse. Not only that, he was apanied by Bai Li in the human form this time.

    The ce went pin-drop silence wherever Bai Li appeared. The people around the clubhouse were stunned by her beauty and were lost for words.

    Qin Feng had no choice but to order Bai Li to put on a pair of sunsses.

    ¡°Why should I wear sunsses when it¡¯s dark?¡± Bai Li asked.

    Qin Feng did not know how to answer. He was not going to tell her that he disliked other people looking into her beautiful eyes.

    ¡°Just do as I say.¡± Qin Feng patted her head. Bai Li pouted her lips but still did as her master said.

    They did not know that their every action was currently being watched. The stalker was Jiang Shaoyang who was sittingfortably inside the manager¡¯s office.

    Someone had informed Jiang Shaoyang the moment Qin Feng set foot into the clubhouse. The clubhouse had surveince cameras in every corner. He pressed a few buttons to bring up the right angle and was equally astonished by Bai Li¡¯s elegance.

    That astonishment was immediately reced by rage and jealousy. He felt vited when Qin Feng touched Bai Li¡¯s hair. In his twisted mind, Jiang Shaoyang perceived that only he and not the lowly Qin Feng deserved someone as beautiful as Bai Li. He vowed to take the girl away from Qin Feng who was going to die inside the arena tonight.

    ¡°Has all the arrangements been made?¡± Jiang Shaoyang uttered rather wickedly.

    ¡°Yes. Don¡¯t worry, Sir. He wouldn¡¯t make it out alive tonight once he steps into the arena.¡± The guy from the other end spoke confidently.

    Qin Feng entered the ring around 11 pm.

    The Eagle Clubhouse held multiple fights in one night so Qin Feng had to wait for several rounds before his turn.

    A lot of attendees today were audience members from the day before. They did not want to miss out on Qin Feng¡¯s match so they came again since he had promised to turn up today.

    Five straight wins were no easy feat. Many would have backed away from the sixth match.

    However, Qin Feng had defeated Arm Breaker, who had a seven-streak-win, in hisst match. The audience was expecting to see more of Qin Feng.

    The emcee¡¯s voice soon resonated inside the arena.

    [The next person is a newbie in this ring. Yet, I believe most of our audience already know him from yesterday. He is our five-straight-wins contestant, Mad Fox! He is entering his sixth game now, can he keep his hot streak going? Let the match begin!]

    Qin Feng¡¯s opponent this time was a G7-tier ancient warrior.

    The odds of the two fighters were almost on par. Nevertheless, many ced their bets on the challenger after being incited by the emcee. The Eagle Clubhouse would still be the biggest winner regardless of the match oue.

    Qin Feng defeated his first opponent of the night with ease. He then consecutively put down a G8 and two G9 challengers.

    Qin Feng did not get carried away and could almost smell the foul plot.

    ¡®This is too easy. Something is not right.¡¯

 Chapter 70 - Martial Arts vs Abilities

    <h4>Chapter 70: Martial Arts vs Abilities</h4>

    At this time, Qin Feng already had nine straight wins. And with the appearance of the next contestant, the bet results were also announced.

    The ratio had actually reached 7:8!

    In spite of this, some people who had been stunned by his victory had fiercely pounded in their cash. The funds in the gambling pool might have exceeded 800 million!

    If Qin Feng were to win, the casino would naturally lose a hefty sum.

    However, if Qin Feng were to be defeated, the casino would be able to make a fortune!

    Qin Feng looked at the opponent in front of him and finally understood why the casino did this.

    The opponent was actually an F2-tier Ancient Warrior!

    If Qin Feng were just an ordinary Ancient Warrior, even if he defeated those of the G2-tier, he would not be able to beat an F2-tier Ancient Warrior. This Ancient Warrior, in particr, had a stable and concise aura, he was obviously a pro.

    ¡°Your winning streak is over, boy!¡± The Ancient Warrior¡¯s finger swiped across his neck, which was obviously the sign of decapitation.

    What he meant was self-evident.

    Those Ancient Warriors before were just goofing around and there to build the desired momentum; the real killer was at the end!

    [It seems that Barbarian is full of hostility toward Mad Fox, and he wants to behead him! Barbarian is a decent fighter, with ancient martial arts parallel training being his greatest strength. With a body as strong as iron, and strength that is extremely powerful, will he be able to overturn Mad Fox¡¯s status?]

    The host gave a brief introduction but many people did not care.

    He only had a strong body, and not many people would focus on honing this kind of skill to the highest level. There was no way he would be able to rival Mad Fox.

    Mad Fox was fast and strong, he was probably no weaker than Barbarian!

    Probably because Barbarian focused on training his physical strength, the aura he exuded was not particrly potent, so he did make people feel like he was one fierce towering giant.

    Very few people could see that his strength was that of an F2-tier.

    He did not make much of an appearance in the past, after all, he was a hidden trump card. He had only won three rounds, but each of his opponents died very miserably.

    However, in the ring, people who had died tragically were nothing new. The prestige of Barbarian might not be as high as the previous Arm Breaker.

    Ding ding ding!

    The bell sounded, and the match officially started.

    ¡°Come on, Mad Fox!¡±

    Barbarian tantly taunted Qin Feng with a hook of his finger.

    He was actually very smart. Speed was not his forte so he wanted Qin Feng to attack first, and then counterattack when he was in close range.

    ¡°As you wish!¡±

    Qin Feng did not attempt to dodge; he also wanted to know how strong his own body was now!

    Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption skill was much more powerful than it was before his rebirth. Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength did not require much cultivation, and wasparable to those Ancient Warriors who had practiced parallel training!

    The timing was right for him to have a properparison.

    Qin Feng stepped forward and swung his fist.

    Barbarian did not dodge his attack. He also swung his fist and punched Qin Feng¡¯s body. As for Qin Feng¡¯s oing fist, he did not even care.

    It was merely a wound for a wound. Barbarian did not believe that Qin Feng could cause any harm to him. However, if Qin Feng did not avoid Barbarian¡¯s fist, then he would receive a prating strike on the heart.

    Qin Feng striked first so his fist was the one thatnded first on Barbarian¡¯s chest.

    At that moment, all Barbarian felt was a huge iing force, so much so that he could not even contend in order to overturn him. His body was pushed back and he was forced to step backward, the fist heunched did not even have the chance to touch Qin Feng.

    Barbarian stepped three steps backward before stabilizing his figure.

    ¡°Ahh! Mad Fox, go on, kill him!¡±

    ¡°Get rid of him, beat him to death!¡±

    ¡°Good one!¡±

    With the audience cheering excitedly, Barbarian felt a surge of rage rushing to his head.

    He had been careless, and he did not expect to be knocked back by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    Barbarian suddenly roared out loud, and a yellow light shrouded his palm.

    ¡°Barbaric Fist!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyebrows twitched visibly.

    ¡°It¡¯s martial arts!¡±

    After all, Ancient Warriors not only knew how to use their neigong, their martial arts skills were sometimes as powerful as abilities.

    Qin Feng had also mastered a lot of martial arts skills in his previous life. However, with his current reflexes and experience, he could respond to any threat without having to waste this internal strength.

    However, he would have some losses!

    Qin Feng did not intend to forcefully resist, as he dodged extremely fast.

    With a strike from Barbarian, there seemed to be a translucent fist shadow bursting out. The shadow lengthened with a gust of wind, and reached a meter high in the blink of an eye. Even the surrounding area was swirled up in the gust of wind as a chaotic energy burst out.

    The punch ended up smashing nothing!

    ¡°Boom!¡±

    Barbarian¡¯s fist directly hit the ground, smashing the sturdy ring ground into a wrecked state. The force was so great that the energy force field was not spared, causing the translucent force field to fluctuate and ripple.

    The audience shouted suddenly, and all of them stood up from their seats.

    At that moment, it did not matter whether they were betting on Qin Feng¡¯s victory or not, they were still very excited!

    ¡®Martial arts! This is martial arts!¡¯

    They came here to watch the match and were actually able to see a fight that involved martial arts, as such it was certainly well worth its value!

    Barbarian missed his strike but he was not perturbed as he approached Qin Feng again.

    The two shed head-on once more, but this time they were evenly matched. Qin Feng was guarding against Barbarian.

    Soon, Barbarian¡¯s Barbaric Fist erupted again, and Qin Feng could only passively avoid it.

    On the ring, it seemed that the battle oue was rather apparent!

    At the backstage, Jiang Shaoyang was rather pleased as he watched the fight unfold, taking a sip of wine and then switching to another camera¡¯s feed.

    The camera was facing Bai Li who was standing in a corner.

    Despite wearing sunsses, her perfect posture still attracted the attention of many people. There was a group of people around her, preventing other people from getting close to her, they were naturally sent by Jiang Shaoyang.

    He already regarded Bai Li as his own property.

    The moment Mad Fox dies, he would go and personally greet this beauty!

    ***

    On the ring, Barbarian was panting heavily.

    No one knew how much energy he had consumed.

    Barbarian had been practicing his parallel-training skills. Although the Barbaric Fist was said to be driven by one¡¯s internal strength, its energy outburst was ten times more than one¡¯s physical strength.

    If one were to get hit by the Barbaric Fist, even a leapfrog aptitude user would be shattered by him.

    However, Qin Feng was as slippery as a fish, swiftly avoiding the oing attacks whenever possible. If Barbarian did not use his Barbaric Fist, Qin Feng would take the chance to attack again.

    On the ring, it seemed as if Barbarian was forcing Qin Feng to retreat and defend. It was more urate to say that Barbarian had no other choice, otherwise he would get attacked by Qin Feng!

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Out of energy? So that means that it¡¯s my turn now, eh?¡± Qin Feng said coldly.

    Barbarian¡¯s heart felt a sudden jolt as he felt that something bad was about to happen.

    And at this time, a great absorption force burst forth from Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Barbarian practically staggered two steps forward. Like a puppet drawn by its master, he moved toward Qin Feng who ced his palm on his dantian.

    In the next moment, Barbarian¡¯s internal strength was like flowing water, rushing out and being absorbed by Qin Feng in the blink of an eye.

    ¡°You!!!¡±

    Barbarian did not even have time to react in anger as Qin Feng¡¯s other hand was raised, everyone could see that Qin Feng¡¯s fist had be ck in an instant, and there were even mes surrounding it.

    Barbarian¡¯s physical strength was indeed strong. Qin Feng¡¯s fist alone was naturally unable to perform a critical strike, but what about his abilities?

    Hellfire wrapped around Qin Feng¡¯s fist, and in the next moment, it was sted through Barbarian¡¯s heart.

 Chapter 71 - Xiao Bai Attacks

    <h4>Chapter 71: Xiao Bai Attacks</h4>

    Puff!

    The sound emitted was no longer the previous thumping sound of a fist hitting a body. Instead, it sounded like a smoldering sound caused by mes burning a cloth.

    Hellfire broke through the barrier of flesh and blood in just an instant. As Qin Feng thrusted his fist inward he incinerated everything around it!

    ¡°Uh... Gurgle...¡± Barbarian unwittingly made a sound before his eyes lost their glow.

    Qin Feng withdrew his hand. Without his support, Barbarian fell backward instantly.

    Bang!

    Barbarian¡¯s huge figure fell onto the ground, and it seemed to stir up a gust of wind and swirl up the surrounding dust.

    After he hadpletely fallen onto the ground, everyone could see a huge hole that had appeared in Barbarian¡¯s chest, with the insides burned charcoal ck, and his heart burned to ashes!

    Barbarian was dead!

    For a brief moment, a deafening silence enveloped the arena!

    In the next moment, a state of frenzy and chaos broke out!

    Mad Fox won.

    Barbarian, who seemed to be extremely powerful in the eyes of everyone, was finally defeated.

    For a while, everyone cheered in unison.

    ¡°Ten straight wins, ten straight wins!¡±

    ¡°How satisfying!¡±

    ¡°The Defying Mad Fox!¡±

    Everyone cheered, while both the referee and the emcee once again fell into a stiff and stricken state.

    This one scene, which had a striking simrity to the night before, had just happened once more.

    The referee had not announced the victor yet, and the force field was not deactivated, but Qin Feng had disappeared in a sh.

    Dark Shadow!

    Qin Feng took it upon himself to leave the arena first, disregarding the referee¡¯s judgment and the reward that came with.

    After all, his objective had been achieved.

    A tremendous internal strength was entrenched within Qin Feng¡¯s body, nearly causing his dantian to burst. He had to either advance to the next tier or swallow the internal force immediately!

    The moment Qin Feng appeared again, he had already reached Bai Li¡¯s side.

    Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s people standing guard around her had no clue how Qin Feng had appeared, all they saw was Qin Feng trying to take Bai Li away!

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    Through the earpieces came Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s roar.

    The situation that was both originally on the cusp of victory and an assured win was once again crumbled by Qin Feng. Being provoked by Qin Feng once again, Jian Shaoyang was unimaginably infuriated.

    And this time, he had no ns to toy with Qin Feng anymore; he wanted to kill Qin Feng with his very own hands!

    The thugs of the Eagle Clubhouse stepped forward to stop Qin Feng.

    As for killing Qin Feng, they naturally knew that it was impossible. After all, the other party was the one who killed Barbarian and had emerged unscathed.

    They were no match for him!

    ¡°Out of my way!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength was at the brink of an outburst, and it was way more vigorous than usual. Whenever he attacked, he would use Asteroid Assimtion, sending these Ancient Warriors, who were only G8 or G9 tier, flying in the air!

    Boom!

    Qin Feng was like a ticking bomb; wherever he went, explosions would ensue.

    He took Bai Li and quickly stepped up the safetydder.

    After several steps, Qin Feng had reached the first floor and was dashing out.

    A group of people were in hot pursuit.

    With the appearance of the group of malicious people, the slums were thrown into a chaotic mode, everything was turned upside down.

    Qin Feng slipped into a dark alley. Wanting to get out of the sight of these people, he wanted Bai Li to cast her spatial teleportation and escape the siege of these people.

    In the next moment, a person in front was blocking the road.

    This human figure was ghostly, and his aura was also incredibly powerful without any attempt to cover up his powers.

    F7-tier Ancient Warrior.

    This was practically a target that Qin Feng had no way to challenge.

    ¡°Die!¡± Jiang Shaoyang roared, and a shadow burst out from the sword in his hand.

    The sword¡¯s shadow enveloped Qin Feng, seemingly wanting to tear him into pieces.

    This was actually a powerful type of martial arts!

    Qin Feng had a great sense that his life was in mortal danger!

    ¡°Xiao Bai!¡±

    Qin Feng shouted unwittingly, wanting Bai Li to activate her spatial teleportation to flee from danger, and Qin Feng could then take the opportunity to kill the other party.

    In the next moment, Bai Li¡¯s entire body suddenly shed in silver.

    Bai Li¡¯s dress swayed, and her long hair danced along with the wind. It was unclear from where the moonlight shone through as the alley was lit seemingly out of nothingness, surrounding Bai Li¡¯s figure.

    In the next moment, four silver light rays emerged!

    How familiar this light was; this was definitely the Space Rune.

    ¡°Space de!¡± Bai Li tenderly shouted, pointing at Jiang Shaoyang. ¡°Go!¡±

    The light shed and disappeared, and Qin Feng¡¯s pupil shrank suddenly.

    When the silver light reappeared it was by Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s side.

    Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

    Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s body shook violently a few times!

    The sword¡¯s shadow disappeared in mid-air. Not only that, Jiang Shaoyang could not maintain his bnce and instantly fell to the ground.

    All his limbs were cut off; the wounds were very neat and clean-cut, as he was practically cut into a human stick.

    Qin Feng could not help but feel stunned!

    ¡°Master, quickly absorb his internal strength!¡± Bai Li urged.

    Qin Feng took a deep breath and finally came to his senses.

    He had truly underestimated Bai Li!

    After all, the current Bai Li was but an F-tier beast king!

    Dealing with an ordinary F-tier Ancient Warrior who rarely fought in the wild was a piece of cake.

    And at this time, Jiang Shaoyang fell to the ground, still alive. He tried to lift his neck and look at Bai Li.

    A great sense of incredulousness flooded his eyes.

    ¡°You! Who the hell are you?¡±

    Jiang Shaoyang had never seen such a horrifying move. Even though he wanted to evade just now, he did not manage to dodge, it was as if the attacks had erupted directly from within him.

    Moreover, he also heard the words that Bai Li spat out!

    ¡®Space de! Is this a Space Rune? Which means that this woman is actually a powerful spatial ability user?¡¯

    This was not even a part of the ten major departments, only some powerful ultra beasts could possess this ability.

    ¡°You don¡¯t need to know who she is!¡±

    Qin Feng said coldly, and he could obviously see Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s greedy eyes when he was looking at Bai Li just now.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    He pressed Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s abdomen with one hand, and a force of absorption burst forth, swallowing all of the internal strength in Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s body.

    Jiang Shaoyang wanted to resist, but he had no way to do so. His limbs were gone and there was too much bleeding. Even if Qin Feng did not attack, there was no way he would have survived.

    Now, even if he wanted to use themunicator to call for help, it was already impossible!

    After absorbing Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s internal strength, Qin Feng¡¯s dantian was thrown into a violently turbulent state.

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    Qin Feng suppressed the violent internal strength. With a burst of his ability, traces of Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s body were obliterated.

    Jiang Shaoyang was thoroughly reduced to ashes in a ze of fire!

    The owner of the Eagle Clubhouse for this generation, and the dark influential overlord behind the slums, was dead.

    Snap!

    Crackling sounds came from the string of Buddha beads on Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s hand, which was quickly burned to crisp. However, a grey bead rolled out, with a special pale silver glow appearing on it.

    This was actually a Space Rune equipment.

    If Qin Feng did not burn the other party¡¯s body, he would have thought that it was only a silver essory among the beads!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng picked up the bead and said to Xiao Bai, and the two disappeared from where they stood.

    Until the thugs of the Eagle Clubhouse came over to investigate, no one noticed the insignificant ashes in the dark alley. And little did they know that this was the ce where their boss was annihted!

 Chapter 72 - Dispatched to the Wild

    <h4>Chapter 72: Dispatched to the Wild</h4>

    With Bai Li¡¯s teleportation, in less than one minute, Qin Feng had returned to his house in Qinghu Garden.

    Qin Feng immediately sat cross-legged, viewing inside his own dantian.

    The situation today was better than yesterday¡¯s. The internal forces might be a pile of mess, but Qin Feng had exactly 62 threads of internal force which were strong and powerful, and upying the lead role. The other messy internal forces could not cause a ripple from within.

    However, those were the internal forces that his dantian could amodate. Now, there were too many of them, they made Qin Feng feel that his dantian was about to burst at the seams.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng began to swallow today¡¯s harvest like a whale.

    The five people on the ring had sufficiently given Qin Feng 51 threads of internal force which were now squeezed to the point where they were nearly deformed.

    What was more terrifying was Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s internal force which had precisely 63 threads.

    After a burst of his absorption skill, the threads of internal forces were swallowed whole, quickly strengthening his meridians.

    Afterwards, the internal forces became pure again and returned to his dantian.

    Qin Feng¡¯s existing 62 threads of internal force began to rise.

    73... 86... 99...

    The strong and powerful internal force threads were practically disying a state of diffusion, upying his entire dantian, and was unable to squeeze in even the tiniest thread.

    Yet, the internal forces had not all been fully restored yet.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng tried multitasking and mustered his Asteroid Assimtion.

    Rumble!

    There seemed to be an explosion within his dantian.

    His dantian had expanded to its utmost limit, and it could now amodate even more internal forces.

    Whereas all the threads werepletely shattered!

    Then, the internal forces condensed into a cloud of mist!

    Qin Feng closed his eyes, and a cloud of smoke was practically fuming from his forehead. The aura he was exuding was suddenly increased exponentially.

    ¡®G-tier Ancient Warrior, internal strength like silk!¡¯

    ¡®F-tier Ancient Warrior, internal strength like mist!¡¯

    At that moment, Qin Feng was finally promoted from a G-tier to an F-tier Ancient Warrior!

    ¡°Phew!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a long breath.

    He opened his eyes, and his eyes were glowing.

    At this moment, he could feel the extent of his own strength!

    However, the feeling receded as quickly as it came. After all, before rebirth, Qin Feng was one who had reached A-tier.

    Once he had calmed down a great deal, he then frowned.

    If the fact that Qin Feng had killed the five Eagle Clubhouse guards yesterday was not able to cause an uproar, what he did today was assuredly going to turn the ce upside down.

    Once those people discover that Jiang Shaoyang had disappeared, they would surely be able to trace it back to Qin Feng. There might even be people who were already after him right now.

    All of this was trouble for him!

    Qin Feng thought about it, raised his hand and dialed a person¡¯smunicator.

    ***

    Xue Xingfu was already in dreand but he was still awakened by the sound of hismunicator, especially by the tone that he had set himself.

    He looked at the time and it was already 2 o¡¯clock.

    ¡°Dear, who is it!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, just sleep!¡±

    Xue Xingfu was slightly annoyed but he had to answer the phone, so he gently patted his wife who was by his side and walked out of the room.

    ¡°Bro, it¡¯ste. What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    This was neither evening nor morning, and this kid, Qin Feng, really had too much energy!

    ¡°Yeah, I wanna tip you off!¡± Qin Feng said, ¡°For you guys, it should be good news!¡±

    Xue Xingfu became wide awake at his words. When he thought of Qin Feng murdering He Li previously, he had also said that he wanted to give Xue Xingfu some good news.

    What he did not know was, who was the one with such bad luck this time around?

    No matter who it was, Xue Xingfu was excited.

    ¡°Wait a moment, I¡¯ll go meet you right away! We¡¯ll discuss when we meet!¡±

    Some things naturally could not be conveyed via themunicator. Xue Xingfu hung up hismunicator, put on a piece of clothing at random and went to Qinghu Garden.

    After half an hour, Xue Xingfu was sitting in Qin Feng¡¯s living room in a daze as he could not believe his ears!

    ¡°Say that again, who did you just say it was? Jiang Shaoyang? You killed Jiang Shaoyang?¡±

    ¡°Yep, of course they probably do not know that Jiang Shaoyang is dead, and there¡¯s no evidence to prove that I killed him. However, they may get to the bottom of this! Can you put them in a tight spot?¡±

    Qin Feng lifted his cup and took a sip nonchntly, as if what he had just said was nothing out of the norm.

    Xue Xingfu saw that Qin Feng did not seem to be joking around. However, this time, he could not sit still.

    ¡°You said that you killed He Li, I believed you. But now you are saying that you killed Jiang Shaoyang, how the hell am I supposed to believe you? Jiang Shaoyang may be a scum, but he¡¯s also an F7-tier Ancient Warrior!¡±

    Upon seeing that he was refusing to give up until all hope was gone, Qin Feng took out the silver bead at that exact moment.

    ¡°This is Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s Spatial Rune equipment. I didn¡¯t use anything inside, you can take it!¡±

    Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s Spatial Rune equipment was actually smaller than He Li¡¯s, only one square meter wide. However, there were a lot of stuff in it.

    Firearms, both blue and purple glow rune equipment, even a huge pile of drugs, and a nameless ck card.

    There were about 50 million yuan in the ck card, and Qin Feng kept it with him. After all, Qin Feng was in the ring yesterday, and the Eagle Clubhouse did not pay him what he was owed.

    As for the rest, Qin Feng had no interest in them. Jiang Shaoyang was not very good at fighting. Those rune equipment were all standard ones and not custom-made. Obviously, Jiang Shaoyang did not care much, and Qin Feng was also not willing to use something that other people had used before. As such, he would rather give it to Xue Xingfu.

    Xue Xingfu looked at the Spatial Rune equipment. He had been battling against the deputy mayor¡¯s men for so many years, as such, he knew the deputy mayor¡¯s F-tier ability user underlings like the back of his hand.

    Xue Xingfu shivered for a while, his blood was rushing to his brain, and his eyes were excited when he looked at Qin Feng.

    ¡°You, kid, did something huge!¡± Xue Xingfu started going into deep thoughts and paced back and forth, constantly thinking about the matter at hand. And soon, he came to realize one of its most crucial key points.

    ¡°As for Lin Zheng, you don¡¯t have to be afraid of him. Although he¡¯s the deputy mayor, he¡¯s not as powerful as Mayor Zheng. And he¡¯s now been dispatched to encircle and suppress the Corpse Corps!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned. ¡°He went to the wilderness?¡±

    ¡°Yep. I don¡¯t know whether you know this or not, but arge number of zombies has appeared outside Chengyang City. I¡¯m afraid that their leader is probably an F-tier beast king. As such, the four zones and Chengyang City have all dispatched E-tier ability users!¡±

    ¡°I know!¡± Qin Feng nodded, he naturally knew that.

    The existence of the beast king level, if it were a human of the same level, required tens of thousands of them to encircle and suppress it in order to win. Furthermore, there would be countless deaths and injuries.

    As such, in order to win at minimum cost, humans would definitely dispatch the strong ones.

    E-tier ability users battling against an F-tier beast king was a battle with an uncertain oue.

    That was also the reason why Bai Li had just killed Jiang Shaoyang so easily today.

    However, if Lin Zheng had gone to the wilderness, and he also nned to go there afterward, it also meant that Qin Feng would have to face off against him sooner orter.

    After thinking about it for a while, Qin Feng was decidedly not bothered about it.

    As long as these people were not sure that Qin Feng was the one who killed Jiang Shaoyang, Lin Zheng would have no reason toe for Qin Feng.

    However, to Lin Zheng, an Ancient Warrior who had just awakened for a month was just like a baby who had just learned how to crawl.

    When the time came, as long as Qin Feng did not specifically attract Lin Zheng¡¯s attention, Lin Zheng would not attack Qin Feng in the wild!

 Chapter 73 - The Most Powerful Dark Ability

    <h4>Chapter 73: The Most Powerful Dark Ability</h4>

    ¡°Remember, divert their attention away from me!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Xue Xingfu smiled wryly, he really could not figure out what kind of devious plots this young one had in mind.

    Generally speaking, if someone were to kill Jiang Shaoyang, that person would assuredly be a big troublemaker. That person would have to request for either Xue Xingfu¡¯s or Mayor Zhang¡¯s help and support in order to protect himself.

    However, the way Qin Feng sounded was rather forceful, like he was giving an order.

    It was as if it was something Xue Xingfu must do for Qin Feng.

    However, when Xue Xingfu looked at the Spatial Rune equipment in his hand, he let out a sigh again.

    If he were to give Qin Feng this window of opportunity, perhaps within two months¡¯ time, the item that would be handed to him would be Lin Zheng¡¯s Spatial Rune equipment!

    ¡°Rx. With the stuff inside, I can seal off the Eagle Clubhousepletely, or even rece it!¡±

    Even after Doomsday, these things in Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s Spatial Rune equipment were enough to touch people¡¯s nerves, and the final result of the legal penalty here was death.

    After all, all criminals were people with outstanding strength. Often, after breaking thew, as long as they were able to avoid being captured, they would be able to live freely. Otherwise, the bounty hunterwork would not be that lively!

    Qin Feng nodded too upon hearing Xue Xingfu¡¯s words, ¡°Okay, this ought to do it. Oh yeah, it would be 50 million for your stuff. You can pay me a few dayster!¡±

    Xue Xingfu, who was talking domineeringly at first, suddenly felt weak upon hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    Qin Feng really knew how to get the value he wanted!

    However, the news that Qin Feng had given him was also well worth the price, even far exceeding it.

    Even Xue Xingfu did not dare bargain with Qin Feng.

    ¡°Okay okay okay, let me make the necessary arrangements. I¡¯ll prepare the money for you immediately!¡±

    Xue Xingfu did not stay long. After all, the two had been talking for over an hour, and now it was already 3:30am. In just a while it would be dawn.

    After Xue Xingfu left, Qin Feng also felt more rxed.

    After washing up a bit, Qin Feng stepped into his bedroom and suddenly stopped in his footsteps.

    Even without light, Qin Feng, who had awakened the Dark Runes, was still able to see in the dark. On the huge bed, the dashingly beautiful girl who was lying on her side had entered slumbend, and there was a trace of suspicious water stains on the corner of her mouth!

    Looking at her, she looked pure and lovely while charming at the same time.

    Not only that, the other party had also put on the silk pajamas that Qin Feng bought for her during the day, without anything else beneath it.

    Qin Feng took a deep breath and wanted to go to the guest room to sleep. In the future, he had to teach Xiao Bai that physical contact between men and women was forbidden!

    With this thought, Qin Feng¡¯s feet seemed to be stuck on the ground.

    ¡°If I leave, that little forebear will definitely be unhappy. It¡¯s fine, she¡¯s just a little fox anyway!¡±

    Comforting himself like this, Qin Feng was able to finally rx as he naturally lifted the nket andid down.

    The little fox was sleeping semi-consciously. Feeling the familiar body temperature approaching, she hurriedly approached Qin Feng and licked his cheek at the same time before calmly resuming her sleep!

    Qin Feng. ¡°...¡±¡®Bloody hell!¡¯

    Qin Feng controlled his consciousness, transferring it from the little fox and cing into his ability core.

    Now, he had advanced into an F-tier Ancient Warrior, but Qin Feng¡¯s ability user tier had not yet been promoted.

    The biggest reason was that Qin Feng had not yet found a way to practice his consciousness!

    Of course, the power of ability users was blessed, but it was also extremely difficult to promote. This was something that Qin Feng had already heard about before his rebirth. However, once an ability user was able to be promoted, the person would be an apocalyptic force, which was far beyond that of Ancient Warriors.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me I have to go and kill gunners?¡±

    Although there were gunners all over the ce, it was still not easy to kill them either even if he wanted to. The Underground Boxing Arena was a special case.

    With such thoughts in mind, Qin Feng could only urge his consciousness to rotate the ability core step by step, and then begin looking for the runes that could arrange his abilities ording to the lecture given by Cheng Chao.

    ***

    After an early morning¡¯s torture, both Qin Feng and Bai Li, who had transformed into a little fox, stepped into the campus.

    The morning course was still Theory of Runes, and there was a period of Analysis of Ultra Beasts course. The Gunslinging course was in the afternoon.

    With the exception of the Runes course, the other courses were totally useless to Qin Feng.

    After the Runes course, Qin Feng was about to get up and head to the library. However, he was stopped by a girl with a ponytail.

    ¡°Qin Feng, our ability user ss has set up amunications contact group. Please leave yourmunicator details so it¡¯s convenient to contact you!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, sure!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and did not reject. He left his contact number and joined the ability ss. The one who invited him to join was the monitor of the ability ss, Zhao Yu!

    Zhao Yu was a fire ability user who had achieved a B in both consciousness and elemental talents during the examinations. It woulde as no surprise if she were to be the strongest one in ss. After all, she had great talent.

    Therefore, it was not surprising that she had been chosen as the ss monitor.

    Qin Feng skipped the Analysis of Ultra Beasts course and went to the library.

    The library was very spacious, and there were not many books at all; most of them were pieces and pieces of chips.

    ¡°Dark Abilities!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes suddenly sparkled.

    There really was information on Dark Abilities.

    Qin Feng inserted the chip into hismunicator, and its contents were surprisingly little.

    Only when he was reading through the info, Qin Feng was able to understand why this was the case.

    Chengbei University had existed for more than fifty years. During this period, only two dark ability users had appeared.

    The strength of the first dark ability user was incredible. However, after graduation, he joined the Dark Coalition and became an extremely powerful convict atrge. Not long after, he was killed.

    This was probably something shameful for Chengbei University!

    The second dark ability user appeared more than twenty years ago. After discovering that he was a dark ability user, he wanted toe to school to gain knowledge. He finally found that there were no such records in the school either. Feeling helpless, he still stayed for half a year and finally left behind all the information he had collected by himself.

    [I hope that the future juniors who have awakened their dark abilities can leave their rune information here, Descendant of Fuze.]

    [In theory, the basic abilities of the ten major departments are the same, and so is the appearance of the runes. However, both the colors and effects are different. Here is the simplest example...

    [After many investigation attempts, I think that the dark abilities stated above really do exist but I didn¡¯t find the corresponding abilities of other departments...]

    [The strongest one is the Finger of Death which was unleashed by a ck-robed man in a rift in the west sixty seven years after Doomsday. With the finger pointing down, a ck light shed across the sky and killed an S-tier ability user, wiping him out. His body was obliterated with nothing left behind, and it scared off the three strongest S-tier elites on the spot...]

    Upon looking at the news, Qin Feng could not calm himself down for quite some time.

    ¡°The Finger of Death!¡±

    Such a terrifying ability. The Finger of Death could actually wipe out even S-tier ability users, how powerful was this ability?

    He did not know whether the Finger of Death rune was among the more-than-one-billion rune archive he owned or not.

 Chapter 74 - The Imperious Gunslinging Teacher

    <h4>Chapter 74: The Imperious Gunslinging Teacher</h4>

    Qin Feng ate a bit of dried meat stored in Xiao Bai¡¯s space at noon, then he continued searching for more information. This time, he was looking up for information on the runes of other departments.

    Especially fire runes. After all, Qin Feng himself also possessed mutant fire runes.

    When he was so wrapped up in his reading, hismunicator vibrated.

    Qin Feng looked at it, and it was actually Zhao Yu who had just added him.

    ¡°Monitor, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Qin Feng asked casually.

    ¡°Qin Feng, why did you skip ss again? The Gunslinging course teacher is checking your attendance. You have already skipped ss twice, and our teacher is upset. Are you still in school? Hurry up ande to ss!¡± There was also a bit of fear in her voice.

    Qin Feng was silent for a moment, and he seemed to have thought of the scene where the ss monitor was being berated because of a student like him.

    After all, the Gunslinging course teacher was a teacher who would vent his anger on everyone!

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ming now!¡±

    ¡°Okay, okay. Come quickly, we¡¯re at the shooting range!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    The shooting range of Chengbei University was built on the topmost level of the sports hall. It was called a range, when in actuality it was an indoor venue. After all, there were many ces to gather.

    The gymnasium also had eight floors. When Qin Feng arrived by taking the elevator, the course had already gone on for twenty minutes.

    When Qin Feng walked in, all the students looked at Qin Feng, and the teacher naturally looked over.

    ¡°Which ss is this student from? What brings you here? Are you taking this ss?¡±

    The Gunslinging teacher said sarcastically.

    Zhao Yu was not only afraid that Qin Feng would be ousted, but she was also afraid of their teacher losing his temper. She quickly said, ¡°Teacher Yang, this is a student from our abilities ss. He is here to attend your ss!¡±

    ¡°What happened to the abilities ss?¡±

    Mr. Yang suddenly raised his voice, to the extent where it was almost deafening.

    ¡°Don¡¯t think that you¡¯re awesome just because you have awakened your abilities. When your strength is low, what can your abilities do? Can you light a cigarette? Can you sip a drink? Can you nt wheat and tighten a screw? Going through the Gunslinging course may be supplementary for you all, but this is a life-saving ability! If you don¡¯t wanna learn, then buzz off ASAP!¡±

    Teacher Yang¡¯s tone was improper, and there were even traces of jealousy in his eyes.

    He was very grumpy. In the first ss yesterday, he gave his students a taste of the wrath of God, using an old-school pistol, he did not even instruct them to put on their earplugs before proceeding to hit a few targets, causing their ears to buzz terribly.

    In this way, it left a deep impression on the students, and they were even be a little afraid of him!

    At this time, Qin Feng slowly walked forward and nced at the bench which had gunsid on top of it.

    Qin Feng said coldly, ¡°Teacher, what you said weusing firearms to protect ourselves is not wrong. However, we have the freedom to learn whatever we want in this university. Therefore, I think that this course is not useful to me at all. Why should I stille for this ss?¡±

    ¡°Not useful at all?¡± Teacher Yang was enraged as he red at him. ¡°What the hell do you mean not useful at all? You¡¯re bonkers, kid! Are you now a G-tier ability user? If not, just zip it! Without firearms to protect you, then what good will your abilities do? Even in the future, you will be protected by other people like a precious animal! ¡±

    The students in the ss clearly did not agree with what he said.

    It was recognized that ability users were the strongest among allbat professions, yet it sounded like something that was despicable based on what he said.

    They were all ability users so what Teacher Yang said was actually directly demeaning them.

    These people had awakened their abilities, and they were still proud of their luck until now!

    Qin Fengughed coldly, his voiceced with mockery.

    ¡°Teacher, I¡¯m not actually talking about guns. All I¡¯m saying is that I don¡¯t need to learn what you are teaching!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Teacher Yang was utterly livid. He had never been treated like this by a student before.

    Qin Feng have notmust not have seen the ability that he had disyed the day before.

    ¡°Kid, believe it or not, I won¡¯t let you graduate. The Gunslinging course is the second most important course for the abilities ss, yet you have the audacity to say that what I¡¯m teaching is not worth learning!¡±

    ¡°Oh? Graduate?¡± Qin Feng thought about it for a while, and felt that these words of Teacher Yang, who was roaring like a mad dog, finally managed to threaten him. ¡°Well, in that case, why don¡¯t you just assess my abilities. If I pass the assessment, I will note for ss in the future, and you have to fill in my report card with full marks. What do you think?¡±

    Teacher Yang grinned savagely.

    ¡°Fine, you¡¯ve got quite the guts. I¡¯ve never seen such a crazy person like you. Your name¡¯s Qin Feng, right? Let¡¯s do this assessment. If you fail, then get the hell out of Chengbei University immediately!¡±

    The surrounding people suddenly eximed out loud, apparently not expecting Teacher Yang to say so.

    ¡°Teacher Yang, I don¡¯t think that¡¯s a good idea. It¡¯s better if you just punish Qin Feng and he¡¯lle for your ss everyday!¡±

    The other students in ss dared not speak up, but they all felt that Teacher Yang had gone a bit too far.

    ¡°Am I the teacher or are you the teacher? Step aside! I can¡¯t teach such a student; I do not want him in my ss!¡±

    Upon beingshed at, Zhao Yu hunched down timidly and lowered her head with her eyes all red.

    At this time, Qin Feng¡¯s face was entirely frosty.

    Teacher Yang was really way too much!

    However, without waiting for him to say anything, Teacher Yang pulled out a gun from the machinery. It was just a pistol.

    The ability users would learn how to use pistols which were easy to carry around.

    But obviously, the workmanship of this gun was much moreplicated than the other firearms, and it looked way more powerful.

    ¡°Assemble this gun under 30 seconds, and then aim it at the bullseye. An average score of eight points in ten shots will be counted as a passing mark!¡±

    Everyone was silent once again as they did not expect the content of the assessment to be so difficult!

    After all, when they were in secondary academy, the most that they did was to attend somebat sses and would note across Gunslinging sses.

    Yesterday, they had just learned to take apart a basic pistol.

    As for this pistol that was soplicated, and was soon disassembled, they were not able to tell what it was.

    Qin Feng nodded, and his face was calm.

    ¡°Teacher Yang, why don¡¯t you also join me in this assessment? If you fail, then you can get out of Chengbei University too. What do you think?¡±

    ¡°You, kid, refuse to give up until all hope is gone, eh!¡± Teacher Yang sneered, thinking that Qin Feng had wussed out.

    The other party must have just failed to clearly see his movements, and now he wanted Teacher Yang to take part in the assessment with him. In this way, he could imitate his movements to assemble the pistol, and then hit the bullseye at random. As long as all the shots were above eight points, this bet would be Qin Feng¡¯s victory!

    However, Teacher Yang had no intention of rejecting his challenge.

    ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll show you who¡¯s the real gunner here!¡±

    Teacher Yang flicked his fingers and made cracking noises. He took out a firearm of the same model and dismantled it on the bench.

    Zhao Yu came up with red eyes and became both a referee and a timekeeper.

    ¡°Ready, go!¡±

    With those words, the duo made their move at the same time.

 Chapter 75 - Ten Points!

    <h4>Chapter 75: Ten Points!</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng¡¯s movements were swift. Theponents changed form at his slightest touch. Upon further observation, it was actually his sequence of reassembly.

    Ka-chak, ka-chak!

    Qin Feng¡¯s hands were so quick it almost seemed to form a mirage!

    His body was enhanced whether in terms of strength or speed or agility.

    Furthermore, Qin Feng had once absorbed the consciousness of an F-tier gunman. He had a strong sense of perception.

    Hence, he already had aplete understanding of these machineries when Teacher Yang disassembled them!

    Before Qin Feng was reborned, he had undergone extremely tough training to be a high tier Ancient Warrior. In his early years though, guns were always by his side.

    After all, guns were a long range weapon. Even an Ancient Warrior had limitations in terms of his range.

    Qin Feng started from nothing. Being a gunner was an almost exclusive job for the rich. Servicing the guns alone would attract a huge cost. Therefore, Grimm had always serviced the guns himself. Disassembling it was but a menial effort.

    The rest of his ssmates had a tough time learning the gunslinging ability. In his hands however, the gun had transformed into a different object.

    Teacher Yang who was nonchnt at first was about to raise his head and throw out mocking insults. Yet, he saw that Qin Feng was halfway done in assembling his gun.

    How long had it been? Five seconds? Six seconds?

    Teacher Yang¡¯s eyes were wide in disbelief. His hands began to move faster. In his state of chaos, however, his movements were far from his best.

    Ka-chak!

    Qin Feng was done assembling his gun.

    ¡°Tick, time: 9.31 seconds!¡±

    Immediately after that, Teacher Yang heard a gunfire.

    Bam!

    Qin Feng raised his arm. He did not seem to have aimed the gun properly yet he was able to hit one of the targets.

    ¡®Must be a lucky shot!¡¯

    Teacher Yang thought as such deep down, while expecting Qin Feng to miss the target.

    But there was no fooling the mechanical voice that rang through.

    ¡°Ten points!¡±

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    ¡°Ten points!¡±¡±Ten points!¡±¡±Ten points!¡±

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

    Sounds of ¡°ten points¡± kepting in. The gunfire was ear-piercingly loud. But the phrase ¡°ten points¡± was like a huge insult.

    At this moment, Teacher Yang had not even finished assembling his gun yet!

    Qin Feng calmly ced his gun on top of the bench and the sound of it woke Teacher Yang up from his dazedness. He could feel his face heating up like a surge of hot air rushing into his head. If only there were a hole he could crawl into.

    ¡°Teacher Yang, does this mean that I get full marks in the test then?¡± said Qin Feng calmly. ¡°Of course, the previous bet was just a sudden outburst on my part. Don¡¯t take it seriously!¡±

    Teacher Yang¡¯s expression was sombre.

    This student was actually adding fuel to the fire.

    Even if he were to treat it as a joke, he had already lost all the pride he had!

    Ka-tang!

    He threw his gunponents onto the workbench. ¡°I can¡¯t teach a student like you! You can teach this ss instead!¡±

    The teacher spat those words and turned to leave!

    Teacher Yang mmed the door and then there was dead silence in the range.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re amazing!¡± Zhao Yu¡¯s eyes were filled with admiration.

    Teacher Yang showed off his skills yesterday, but he only got four ten-points and one nine-point. In the end, he even said that he was not at his top form.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s casual ten shots were not riddled with hesitations at all. His reassembly of the gun was quick as well. Compared to Teacher Yang¡¯s skills, it was a clear victory.

    ¡°Qin Feng, teach us!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, Teacher Yang is gone anyway.¡±

    ¡°What kind of teacher is he, so irresponsible. Did he think he could blow us off? We are ability users.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, it feels like Teacher Yang is always looking to start a fight with us.¡±

    Qin Feng looked on as his ssmatesined about the teacher.

    However, Qin Feng had driven the teacher away. He was not sure if Teacher Yang would still attend theing sses, but one thing was for sure; he was noting back for today¡¯s ss.

    ¡°There¡¯s still ten minutes before recess, I¡¯ll show you the basics!¡±

    The crowd cheered when they heard that Qin Feng was going to teach them. However, some of them were quite dismissive about it. They felt that Qin Feng was just trying to show off.

    The ability users came from a wide range of personalities even during their middle academy years. Most of them who were enrolled into the top ss of the advanced academy were merely lucky to have awakened their abilities.

    There were those who enjoyed learning, but there were also those who loathed it. Qin Feng could care less about it.

    ¡°You¡¯re just going to need to practice assembling and disassembling the gun. However, shooting makes up a big part of our advantage. Ability users do possess some naturally awakened consciousness in them and can often be better than gunners. The gun is just a tool, the most important part is the user!¡±

    Qin Feng exined to them how to inject their own conscious energy into the gun. The crowd became adept within a short period of time. Some of the students with higher consciousness could hit eight-points consistently.

    Since the teacher was not there, there was no limit to their use of ammunition. The students fired away excitedly. Even those who were previously dismissive of Qin Feng had fun shooting away.

    The afternoon ss was an introduction to geography. Qin Feng returned to the library without hesitation. Yet, he was called to the counsellor¡¯s office by Cheng Chao.

    Although Cheng knew that he was hard-headed, he did not know that he would be hard-headed to such an extent. It was only the second day and Qin Feng had already driven the gunner teacher away.

    ¡°I heard that you used only nine seconds topletely reassemble the T1 pistol, and your shots were all ten-pointers. Where did you learn that from?¡± asked Cheng Chao.

    Qin Feng replied bluntly, ¡°I didn¡¯t learn it from anyone. I have a photographic memory, and isn¡¯t it easy for people with high consciousness to hit the targets?¡±

    Cheng Chao was speechless. He knew that Qin Feng had an S-rank consciousness level.

    ¡°Sir, I have some questions to ask as well!¡±

    Qin Feng would never miss a chance like this. He asked away all the doubts he had encountered while studying about runes. Some of them were highly difficult.

    Cheng Chao began to answer his questions that kept oning. As time passed, the rm bell for the school¡¯s dismissal sounded.

    ¡°Sir, sorry for taking up so much of your time. I¡¯ll buy you dinner tonight!¡±

    ¡°Tsk, are you trying to bribe me? Go home!¡±

    ¡°Alright then. Thanks teacher!¡±

    Qin Feng did not mind being polite to Cheng to leave a good impression. Cheng Chao had a gentle nature but he was serious and reliable. He was definitely a good teacher.

    But he was too kind a fool!

    Cheng Chao was still thinking about Qin Feng¡¯s questions even after he had left, which left him startled.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t I call him over to talk about Yang Feng? How did he brush them off? I even gave him tuition!¡±

    Cheng Chao did not know if he should cry orugh.

    ***

    At the other end of the school gates, Qin Feng and Zhou Hao had met up.

    ¡°Come on, psycho. Tell us how to join in the hunt against the Corpse Corps. I¡¯ve been gathering information about that in the past couple of days!¡±

 Chapter 76 - G-tier Aptitude User Badge

    <h4>Chapter 76: G-tier Aptitude User Badge</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°Simple, just show them a G-tier Aptitude User Badge!¡± Qin Feng started up his car.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s mouth was wide agape. Perhaps Qin Feng¡¯s suggestion was workable, but still...

    ¡°Could we do it?¡± Zhou Hao was not confident.

    Zhou Hao already had the capabilities of a G-tier. But when it came to fighting the creatures from the rift, he had only encountered them once when they fought the razor-fang infants.

    He even hit a razor-fang infant with a baseball bat!

    Still, the G-tier trial would require him to y two hundred G-tier ultra beasts for him to be certified.

    ¡°With me here, you won¡¯t have to worry!¡± Qin Feng consoled Zhou Hao.

    Zhou Hao started mumbling. ¡°Don¡¯t make me sound like a piece of trash, I don¡¯t buy it! It¡¯s just two hundred ultra beasts.¡±

    Qin Feng smiled gently. He did not argue with Zhou Hao.

    Qin Feng and Zhou Hao entered the Great Hall of Certification in the Chengbei Colony. They both looked very young and attracted the attention of many around them.

    ¡°Getting their certification at such a tender age? They¡¯re probably just trying out!¡±

    ¡°Tsk, they¡¯re not gonna pass the test!¡±

    ¡°They¡¯re here to burn money, don¡¯t care about them? If they do seed we¡¯ll just get them to join us!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s see how it goes!¡±

    These people were looking for party members in the great hall of ability users. There were also small-sized mercenary groups and headhunters fromrgepanies!

    Qin Feng and Zhou Hao went to register. Getting an ability user¡¯s certification was serious business. Once they have registered, they would have to fork up 10,000 yuan. They would not get a refund if they were to fail the test.

    ¡°That¡¯s expensive!¡± Zhou Hao felt a pinch, although Qin Feng was the one who paid. ¡°I¡¯ll ask my dad to reimburse you!¡±

    At this moment, Zhou Hao did not care any longer!

    Qin Feng casually waved his hand. ¡°After tonight, you won¡¯t even care about such an amount!¡±

    Zhou Hao thought that Qin Feng could confidently pass the G-tier¡¯s test. If they really were to seed, they would officially be recognized ability users. Even if they were to not do anything, they could earn 10,000 yuan per month by just putting their names up on the board at the colony. As their strength grew, and as they kept getting more certifications, they could earn 90,000 yuan every month if they were to reach the tier of G9.

    This was just the base rewards. There were still many other benefits to take into ount. These were all tactics employed to retain the ability users in the colony.

    The colony needed these people to ensure their safety.

    ¡°Strength test, number 231,e forward!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s my turn!¡±

    Zhou Hao went forward and threw a punch at the testing machine.

    He actually did a test three days ago. At that time, his punch scored 516 points.

    Boom!

    The number rose rapidly in one punch.

    678!

    In just three days, his strength had increased by more than 150!

    Even Zhou Hao was surprised. He did not do any special training these past few days. All he did was practice Qin Feng¡¯s Obsidian Gale.

    Zhou Hao was overjoyed. This was evidently the work of practicing the Obsidian Gale technique. Although he knew of the power of the Obsidian Gale, he did not expect the effects to be that good. He thought that he would have to train for another one or two years!

    After that was the speed test. His speed had been doubledpared to three days ago. The increase in speed was muchrger than the increase in strength. The Obsidian Gale technique was an internal kungfu that emphasized agility.

    ¡°You have passed the test. Please hand in proofs and recordings of two hundred ultra beasts in three days¡¯ time. If you fail toplete it after three days, we will regard it as a forfeiture. The next period for submitting your registration would be one month after that!¡±

    Zhou Hao, who was overjoyed at first, turned pale.

    Two hundred ultra beasts in three days, that would be a tough feat even if they went looking in the wilderness!

    Qin Feng had also passed the test. With the power that he possessed right now, a single punch would probably score more than ten thousand points. Hence, he restrained himself and threw a gentle punch. He only demonstrated a little bit of his speed to pass the test.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng tapped on Zhou Hao¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°Go where?¡± Zhou followed Qin Feng as he asked eagerly.

    ¡°We¡¯re going to kill ultra beasts!¡±

    ¡°Now?¡± Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes grew wide.

    It was already five in the evening. The early spring day would soon turn dark at 7pm. It was the time when ultra beasts were the most active, and they were going to hunt down ultra beasts now. Would it not be suicide?

    Right at this moment, some people had gathered around them. ¡°You must be Zhou Hao, we just saw your test results, you have great potential. Wanna join our mercenary legion?¡±

    ¡°Join us, it¡¯s only two hundred ultra beasts, we¡¯ll take you through it. We guarantee you¡¯ll be able to finish the quest!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, us Dacheng Group has a branch in the Chengbei Colony. Join us to enjoy the best offer!¡±

    The smaller mercenary groups that were persuasive at first could only abandon their hopes. After all, it was a big corporation they were talking about!

    They did not expect a big corporation to recruit them. But then again, Zhou Hao¡¯s potential was for all to see.

    ¡°Hehe, sorry guys, I¡¯ve got other matters waiting, I¡¯ll go on ahead!¡± Zhou Hao apologized to them and started running. ¡°Wait for me, Qin Feng!¡±

    The human resource executives of the Dacheng Group had a stern expression. They coldly said, ¡°Zhou Hao, don¡¯t get cheated by your friend. You¡¯ve got better talent than him!¡±

    Zhou Hao waved his hand and let out a bitter smile. ¡®Better talent than Qin Feng? Are you joking? Qin Feng is an ability user!¡¯

    Zhou Hao hopped on the co-driver¡¯s seat. As the hover car made its way to the wilderness, he could not help but get excited. His mouth did not stop yapping along the way.

    ¡°It¡¯s my first time going to the wilderness! I¡¯m a bit excited by the thought of it!¡±

    ¡°Hey, Qin Feng, do you think that the Dacheng Group really wants me?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re heading out of the city!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled gently. He was in a good mood as he drove the car.

    The energetic Zhou Hao made him feelfortable.

    It was the kind of perfection he seeked for in this life after rebirth.

    However, after they left the city, Zhou Hao¡¯s face turned from excitement to one that was grim. Finally, he stopped talking.

    He could feel a dangerous presence all around him.

    The car sped up after they had left the city. They were finally utilizing the potential of the car but they did not stay on the highway for long before going off the beaten path.

    There was not any tree along the track. One could even see a faint dark green rust. It must be a road from the olden days.

    The road would have been very wide then, pristine even. Else, it would not have made it until today!

    ¡°This road leads to the copper mine of Greenhill!¡± said Qin Feng.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes changed from confusion to bewilderment!

    After attending university, geography lessons were no longer about the five great oceans and eight great continents of the world. Instead, the lessons started to teach about the areas starting from Chengbei Colony.

    These were all roads that they would take in the future.

    The copper mines of Greenhill, this was what Zhou Hao had just studied!

    His face turned pale!

    ¡°You, you¡¯re not thinking of killing the monster bats in the Greenhill Copper Mines, are you?¡±

    ¡°Oh? You knew?¡± Qin Feng was surprised.

    ¡°We just learnt about it this afternoon!¡± answered Zhou Hao.

    Qin Feng just realized that although they shared the same course structure, he did not go to the ss.

    ¡°The Greenhill copper mines cover a wide area, but they haven¡¯t found a need to gather all its ores. The colony has no ns to tame the area. The mines have always been inhabited by the giant bats. Killing two hundred of them would be a piece of cake, else we would have to spend more than three days just to look for ultra beasts!¡± Qin Feng exined briefly.

    Hunting down threadsnakes over at the ntation area was not a bad option as well, but Qin Feng would not hear any of it. There would be an overpoption of giant rats that would cause tremendous damage to the crops.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s face was sallow. ¡°Why are you so calm? We¡¯re not merely talking about two hundred ultra beasts. It is said that up to tens of thousands of bats live in the Greenhill caves! Each one of them are G3-tier, how can we defeat them!¡±

    Qin Feng was unshaken. ¡°Believe me, if we can¡¯t ovee them now, the Corpse Corps is going to be much worse, you won¡¯t even be able to step foot there!¡±

    Zhou Hao gritted his teeth. He was now more determined.

    ¡°I guess you¡¯re right, let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s car was in hovercraft mode. The ground surface was untraversable so they could only hover forward.

    The sun had set after an hour when they finally reached the Greenhill Copper Mines.

    There was arge hole on the ground that led to the copper mines. There was still a railway track that had rusted away which was used to transport copper ores.

    ¡°Here, put this on!¡±

    Qin Feng took out a silver-colored body armor and an energy gun.

    It was the Beast King Armor made by Qin Feng. Qin Feng¡¯s body was now parallel to an ancient martial artist that had a fortified constitution. Naturally, he did not need the armor.

    ¡°This?¡± Zhou Hao was astounded. It was a silver runic gear that he had never encountered.

    Even a touch of the armor made him grow attached to it.

    ¡°How about you, don¡¯t you need this?¡±

    Although Zhou Hao was touched, he did not put it on immediately out of concern for Qin Feng.

    ¡°Quit yapping, these giant bats won¡¯t do me any harm!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be wearing them then. Hehe, if people knew that I have a shiny armor like this, they¡¯d die from envy!¡±

    Zhou Hao wore the armor inside his shirt and he felt much safer.

    A whileter, they had reached a dark region of the cave.

    Phwoosh!

    A fire lit up!

    It was Qin Feng¡¯s fire ability.

    He was able to see in the dark but that did not mean that Zhou Hao could do the same. It was better to have fire to light the way.

    Qin Feng then took out a crossbow and walked ahead.

    ¡°I¡¯ll catch one for you to kill in a while, remember to use Obsidian Gale Kick!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    ¡°Remember to switch on your recorder!¡±

    ¡°Right!¡±

    They needed to record their hunt. How else could they prove that they had in two hundred ultra beasts?

    Zhou Hao had a grim expression on. He was no longer smiling as he gathered the internal forces around his eyes and ears. It gave him a boost in his senses.

    Shortly after, they could hear the pping sound of the bats¡¯ wings.

    ¡°Here theye!¡± Zhou Hao clenched his fist anxiously.

    Qin Feng was much more tranquil than him.

    After all, these bats were only at G3 tier. They could not do anything to him.

    Swoosh!

    Qin Feng pulled the trigger. The bolt traveled into darkness, hitting two bats at once.

    Flop!

    The bats were hit in their heads and fell to the ground. Another bat circled mid-air for a while after it sensed that something was amiss. But in a short moment, the bat charged toward Qin Feng and Zhou Hao¡¯s position.

    ¡°I¡¯ll leave this one to you!¡±

    Zhou Hao could finally see the giant bat.

    The videos he had seen did not do the bat justice. It was much more terrifying in real life.

    The bat had a huge body. Its body was almost half a meter long and looked like a rat. The muscles were stout and powerful. It had a wingspan of around one and a half meters. The bat looked frightening.

    The bat¡¯s bloodied eyes and fangs sent shivers down one¡¯s spine.

    ¡°Obsidian Gale Kick!¡± Zhou Hao leapt upward and swung his leg on the bat.

    The giant bat evaded his kick and pped its wings. Its w scratched Zhou Hao¡¯s shoulder.

    If it were not for the silverlight armor, his flesh would have been ripped apart.

    ¡°Aim for the wings, stay calm and look for an angle to go in!¡± Qin Feng said in a low voice.

    Zhou Hao circled around and found a good spot. His kicknded right at the center of the giant bat¡¯s wing. Another kick followed, rupturing the bones in the giant bat¡¯s wing.

    The attack incapacitated the bat!

    ¡°Try flying, you scum! You¡¯re gonna die anyway!¡± Zhou Hao pulled out the energy gun from his waist. He aimed the gun at the giant bat¡¯s head and pulled the trigger.

    The shot pierced through the giant bat¡¯s brain. It was dead.

    ¡°Collect the blood in its heart and the wings! The tail as well!¡±

    Qin Feng reminded him.

    The most prized item of the giant bat was the blood in its heart chamber. It was a simple potion that could strengthen a person¡¯s constitution. It had better efficacy than a G-tier strengthening potion and therefore should not be wasted.

    A pair of bat wings could fetch about 2,000 yuan. It was not that appealing to Qin Feng. For Zhou Hao, however, it was considerable wealth!

    The tail was of the smallest size. It was used to turn in the mission.

    Zhou Hao took out his dagger and a syringe to collect the required materials. The battle had given him great confidence.

    But of course, it was due to the strength of his silverlight armor as well.

    As the two of them went in further, the number of giant bats increased as well. Qin Feng would leave Zhou Hao a bat to deal with everytime. Zhou Hao¡¯s killing speed became faster.

    Zhou Hao had strong talents. He was also using a B-tier internal neigong and a martial arts technique. He had no problems dealing with the G3 ultra beasts.

    Three hourster, Zhou Hao became exhausted. He could no longer proceed!

    His internal forces were not strong enough and he had hardly ever used them. He was at his limit.

    ¡°We¡¯ll stop here for today!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Zhou Hao did not put on a brave face. He carried his loot and was ready to leave.

    However, as they went back to the car, he became excited once again.

    ¡°I think I¡¯ve just killed fifty giant bats just now!¡± Zhou Hao counted his kills briefly and realized that he had managed to achieve a great oue in just three hours. Also, his frantic manner in the beginning had obviously wasted some of his time.

    At this rate, the mission to y two hundred ultra beasts did not seem that hard now.

    Zhou Hao suddenly felt that the test was too easy.

    Had he suddenly earned the ability to survive in the wilderness?

    Right at this moment, Zhou Hao felt that his world had changed! The world was now a wider ce!

    It was only twelve at night when they reached the colony. Qin Feng brought Zhou Hao to the Wanzong equipment store.

    Wanzong operated 24 hours a day.

    As soon as Qin Feng entered the store, he saw Little Sun in a smart-looking suit. His hair was neatlybed. There was a silver namete on his left chest.

    Sun Yu! The position written there was manager.

    Qin Feng was taken aback. He did not expect Little Sun to be promoted to a manager in just a few days¡¯ time.

    ¡°Mr. Qin!¡± Sun Yu¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw Qin Feng. He immediately went forward to greet him.

    At this moment however, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator started vibrating.

 Chapter 78 - Kidnappers

    <h4>Chapter 78: Kidnappers</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    The familiar vibration made Qin Feng survey his surroundings subconsciously.

    Even though it was midnight, there were still trades going on in the Wanzong equipment store. People trade in the evening and fight during the day.

    There were still five people inside therge store.

    Qin Feng nced at hismunicator without showing any expression.

    [Attention bounty hunter! Criminal confirmed: Liu Jiaming]

    [Attention bounty hunter! Criminal confirmed: Liu Jiaxing]

    [Attention bounty hunter! Criminal confirmed: Liu Jiafu]

    It was not Qin Feng alone that was looking around. Even Zhou Hao raised his hand and started panicking.

    Zhou Hao had downloaded the Bounty Hunter Network as well after Qin Feng¡¯s episode with Viper.

    As Zhou Hao was about to say something, Qin Feng signalled him with his hand. Zhou Hao became silent.

    ¡°Little Sun, it¡¯s only been a few days and you are now a manager! Congrattions!¡± said Qin Feng.

    Sun Yu immediately replied,¡± It was all thanks to you, Mr. Qin, that my sales increased by leaps and bounds!¡±

    Sun Yu was able to be a manager because Qin Feng had ordered a silver light weapon, the Verdant Emperor Saber from him. Qin Feng spent more money afterwards which contributed to Sun Yu¡¯s sales and made him stand out.

    The Wanzong headquarters immediately decided to make Sun Yu the manager.

    By doing so, it not only affirmed Sun Yu¡¯s capabilities, but it was also because of a customer like Qin Feng.

    As Qin Feng became stronger, his spendings wound increase as well. A normal salesperson might not have enough ess to some wares and Qin Feng might feel underappreciated. They would not want to lose him as a customer.

    This was how Wanzong maintained its edge.

    The previous middle-ageddy storekeeper had to force a smile while showing wares to the other customers. She was demoted from her shopkeeper position due to her ipetence. If it were not for her rtive that was an ability user, she would have been let go.

    ¡°No need to thank me, you did a fine job. I¡¯m here to sell some stuff this time!¡± Qin Feng pulled out arge parcel.

    Even though the wings were foldable, Qing Feng had killed more than a hundred in one night. It was more than enough!

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll ask my men to count them!¡±

    ¡°Good, my friend has some as well. Please count them separately!¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    The workers started to get busy. The price of giant bat wings often fluctuated. If they were sold individually, one would fetch around 2,400 yuan. But Wanzong would buy them at a cheaper price at 2,100 yuan per piece.

    The workers quickly finished counting the stock.

    ¡°Mr Qin¡¯s wares can sell for 275,100 yuan while Mr. Zhou¡¯s can sell for 111,300 yuan. Is there anything else you¡¯d like to purchase?¡± Sun Yu asked.

    Qin Feng pondered for a while. ¡°I¡¯ll have a T7 battlesuit!¡±

    The T7 battlesuit was much more expensive than the T3 battlesuit at 150,000 yuan but the quality was much better as well. Qin Feng¡¯s battlesuit had worn out during his fight with He Li in theboratory.

    Zhou Hao was not in the mood to buy anything.

    ¡°I¡¯m good!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Qin Feng tried on the new battlesuit and he nodded in satisfaction. After deducting the price of the battlesuit, Sun Yu closed the deal with Qin Feng and Zhou Hao.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng gestured to Zhou Hao.

    Zhou Hao wanted to say something to him but he did not argue with Qin Feng. The two of them left the store.

    Once they stepped out from the door, Zhou Hao could not hold it in anymore.

    ¡°Qin Feng, why didn¡¯t you do something, those three were only at G tier!¡± said Zhou Hao.

    Qin Feng had killed even Viper. What were these three to him?

    Qin Feng shook his head. He replied, ¡°They were looking at guns!¡±

    Before Zhou Hao could reply anything, Qin Feng continued on. ¡°I¡¯m sure they wouldn¡¯t dare to rob anything from Wanzong¡¯s store, but the guns are loaded. We would be jeopardizing the lives of innocent people if we were to do something!¡±

    After all, the employees in Wanzong were just ordinary people who did not know how to fight. The salesperson who was serving them was just a twenty-year-old woman.

    Zhou Hao subconsciously looked back to check the condition of the store. He was subtly concerned.

    And then he saw the three mening out. They looked like they were not paying attention but they were actually headed for them!

    Zhou Hao was a bit startled.

    ¡°Ha!¡± Qin Fengughed gently. Did they take them for an easy meal?

    Qin Feng was dressed in branded casual wear while Zhou Hao was in his school uniform.

    The two of them did not look likebatants at all. Instead, they looked like rich people or procurement personnels for some mercenary groups.

    These fugitives would never believe that Qin Feng was able to gather all those items by himself to sell.

    They would naturally believe the first possibility.

    Because this was the real target of the Liu brothers.

    Kidnapping!

    The trio often employed kidnapping as their tactic ording to the bounty hunterwork. They would then defraud their victims¡¯ rtives of their ransoms. After the rtives had transferred the money to them, they would kill off their victims.

    The modus operandi was an effective one. The trio was already involved in many cases!

    ¡°Here!¡± Qin Feng whispered to Zhou Hao. They did not go back to their hover car. Instead, they went to a side street.

    The trio looked at each other. One of them drove a car while the other two rushed toward Qin Feng and Zhou Hao.

    Afterward, the head of the Liu Brothers, Liu Jiaming, brandished his sword and he was about to sh Zhou Hao.

    Zhou Hao could no longer hold it in. He gave him a back kick.

    Bam!

    Liu Jiaming flew three meters back after being kicked by Zhou Hao.

    ¡°F*ck, you little b*stard!¡±

    Liu Jiaming did not expect Zhou Hao to resist at all. He let out a furious scream. Zhou Hao did not give him any chance at all. He reached for his energy gun at his waist and fired.

    ¡°Arghh!!¡± Liu Jiaming wailed in agony. A bloodied hole emerged on his thigh.

    Teacher Yang from the university was right about one thing. Guns were very useful, especially when you were at a low tier.

    Therefore even a practitioner of the ancient martial arts would carry a gun with them when they were just starting out.

    Next to him, Liu Jiaxing was about to reach for his gun as well. But Qin Feng would never allow that to happen.

    Qin Feng appeared behind him like a ghost. His hand fell onto his opponent¡¯s shoulder.

    Ka-chak! Ka-chak!

    ¡°Arghhh!¡±

    His opponent¡¯s shoulder was immediately ruptured by his grip!

    Thest fugitive, Liu Jiafu, who was driving a car was about to turn around and flee!

    ¡°Still thinking about running away? Toote!¡±

    Qin Feng gave a cold smile. He pulled out the energy gun at his waist. It was not the gun he bought from Xue Xingfu. It was one of the loots from He Li.

    Bam!

    At the sound of gunshot, the bullet pierced through the car¡¯s back window and made a web-like crack. In the next moment, the bullet pierced through the head of the final fugitive.

    He lost control of the car and crashed into a pole. The car finally stopped.

    They were not fighting in some far off deste ce. People started screaming and running away terrified!

    For ordinary people, although the colony was safe, it did not mean that they led a peaceful life.

    Fights could break out at any moment within the colony. Fights between humans were inevitable. More ruthless, even. Anyone could be involved easily without any warning given.

 Chapter 79 - Gals before Pals

    <h4>Chapter 79: Gals before Pals</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Out of the three fugitives, one was killed by direct gunfire while the other two were incapacitated. Zhou Hao excitedly called in for a request.

    Within moments, Zhang Haoyang showed up with his people.

    Normally, they would not show up for a G3 ability user. However, since the Liu Brothers hadmitted many crimes, their victims were often rich or noble young people. Hence, although the ransoms were not much, the bounty on them was tremendous.

    Some of them offered a huge bounty while some of them offered less. They added up to 20 million yuan in total for the three brothers.

    Zhang Haoyang smiled bitterly when he saw Qin Feng. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you. You can earn a fortune this time!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not bad!¡± Qin Feng smiled. He knew that bounty hunting was not profitable every time. However, he was delighted to see Zhang Haoyang¡¯s bitter face.

    After arresting the fugitives, the mission wasplete. Qin Feng and Zhou Hao each received a reward of 10 million yuan.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I¡¯ll transfer 5 million to you!¡± Zhou Hao knew that Qin Feng contributed the most for their capture. Without Qin Feng, he would not have dared to fight them.

    It was hard to me Zhang Haoyang for being surprised to see Qin Feng as he felt that the world was small indeed.There were many ability users that were linked to the bounty hunterwork but they might not necessarily take action.

    After all, if they were to fight, nobody was able to guarantee a victory. They could even end up dying or attracting gruesome revenge.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Keep it and buy a car tomorrow afternoon!¡± replied Qin Feng.

    Zhou Hao was taken aback. ¡°Why would I buy a car!¡±

    Qin Feng pointed at Xiao Bai that had not moved even once on his shoulder. ¡°You were sitting on Xiao Bai¡¯s seat. She¡¯s very upset.¡±

    It was not only that. Xiao Bai wanted to attend sses with Qin Feng during the day. At night, she could transform into a human and dress up in pretty clothing.

    With Zhou Hao tagging along, not only could she not transform into a human, she had even lost her seating privilege.

    The beast king¡¯s territorial instinct kicked into y after her seat was taken by someone else. If it were not for Qin Feng, Zhou Hao would have been swept away by her ws!

    After listening to Qin Feng¡¯s exnation, his jaw dropped.

    ¡°Damn, I thought I was your pal, is my position lower than Xiao Bai?¡±

    Qin Feng contemted for a while before answering in a serious tone. ¡°Yes, you are much lower.¡±

    Xiao Bai was recognized by Qin Feng as his girlfriend!

    It had always been gals before pals since ancient times. How could Zhou Hao be more important than Xiao Bai!

    Qin Feng chuckled lightly. He was only joking around.

    Of course they were both important.

    Zhou Hao was taken aback by his words.

    ¡°Alright, you¡¯re gonna walk yourself home. I need to leave as well!¡±

    Qin Feng did not send him home and left in his car. Zhou Hao rolled his eyes.

    On the next day however, Zhou Hao really went to buy a car. The car was even more expensive than Qin Feng¡¯s, but it did not look too ring. It looked like an ordinary off-road car. Still, it had a hovering system. The price was 9 million.

    Perhaps he had learned from Qin Feng¡¯s choice. His car was a five-seater, and there was enough room to carry some stuff.

    ¡°How¡¯s this? My dad chose this with me. Look at how rugged it is, this is what you call a man¡¯s car!¡± Zhou Hao gloated.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Your dad sure has an eye for cars. Remember to send him some money, get him a better house or something!¡±

    ¡°I know, I¡¯ll send him more after I earn some money!¡±

    Although Zhou Hao¡¯s home was in themoner¡¯s area, it was situated too close to the ghettos. It was still quite dangerous.

    Zhou Hao was not the kind of guy to forget about his family once he had earned some money. After buying the car, he sent the rest of the money to his parents.

    After the battlest night, he was pretty shaken up.

    ¡®There¡¯s no knowing when I might die in the wilderness. Better to leave the money to my parents!¡¯

    However, he did not voice his concern to Qin Feng. It would have meant that he had no faith in Qin Feng.

    After the ss had been dismissed, they headed back into the wilderness.

    ***

    Inside Qin Feng¡¯s hover car. Bai Li could not hold it in any longer as the buildings around her became sparsely spread. Poof! She turned into a humanoid.

    Qin Feng gripped the steering wheel tightly. He almost drove the car into a ditch.

    ¡°Master, do I look good in this? Or that? Or this one over here?¡±

    Bai Li was indulging herself in a selection of clothes.

    Qin Feng replied, ¡± Are you going for a pageant?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s a pageant? Is it apetition to see who¡¯s prettier? Of course I¡¯m the prettiest!¡±

    Bai Li raised her chin proudly.

    ¡°Get dressed quick!¡±

    Qin Feng was kneading his forehead.

    After some effort, Bai Li put on her clothes. She even matched it with a pair of high heels.

    They came down from their car after reaching the Greenhill Copper Mines¡¯ entrance. Behind them, Zhou Hao thought that he had seen a ghost!

    ¡°Qin Feng, why is there another person in your car, where did you pick her up from?¡± Zhou Hao pointed at Bai Li in a puzzled manner. He then felt that his actions were inappropriate and quickly retracted his finger. He was smiling like a fool.

    ¡°How do you do, beautiful!¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    Bai Li did not harbor any good feelings toward Zhou Hao who had taken her seat. Zhou Hao was the only person who had rode in Qin Feng¡¯s car although the car was bought ages ago.

    ¡°Stop fooling around, she¡¯s Xiao Bai. Just call her Bai Li.¡± Qin Feng closed in on Zhou Hao. ¡°She¡¯s a Beast King, she knows shapeshifting. I won¡¯t be able to save you if you misbehave again!¡±

    Zhou Hao was in disbelief. He looked over at Bai Li.

    A humanoid ultra beast?

    Who knew that Xiao Bai was so powerful.

    Humanoid ultra beasts were not a rare sight after the spatial rift had opened up. Instead, there were many that had blended in among humans. Some of them caused bloody massacres while some had produced many talents.

    The most famous one was Bard the Blue Dragon. In human form, he was a gentle middle-aged man. He had taught many water-elemental abilities and dragon techniques!

    And then there was the infamous Snakewoman Evergreen. She appeared as a bewitchingdy and fed on men after sessfully luring them in with her appearance. It was shuddering just to think about it.

    Unsurprisingly, those who could shapeshift were all at the level of a beast king.

    ¡°Damn son, you sure are lucky, I¡¯m so envious of you!¡± Zhou Hao was impressed.

    ¡°My luck¡¯s not bad!¡± Qin Feng smiled.

    Without luck, how could he be reborned and enjoy such a strong foundation?

    The three of them entered the mines together and once again began their hunt.

    Zhou Hao was much stronger than he was yesterday. His energy had also increased considerably.

    It was due to the giant bats¡¯ blood from their heart chambers.

    There were only one or two drops from each bat located inside the part of their heart that was still developing. They were exceptionally viscous, almost at the consistency of jelly. Hence, it was easy to gather them. After Zhou Hao went home, he diluted the blood and bathed in them, boosting his energy by a little.

    Hence,pared to the chaotic battle the day before, he was performing much better.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go deeper!¡± Zhou Hao was anxious to test himself by going deeper into the mines. There were not many bats around where they were!

    ¡°Very well, let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded.

    After walking for a hundred meters, Xiao Bai¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°There¡¯s good stuff here!¡±

 Chapter 80 - Bludcatarrh Fruit

    <h4>Chapter 80: Bludcatarrh Fruit</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    After saying so, Bai Li disappeared in the blink of an eye.

    Zhou Hao knew that Xiao Bai was strong, and he was not exactly clear on how Xiao Bai had disappeared. He just thought that her speed could not be caught by the naked eye.

    In the next moment, Bai Li had already returned with a small bonsai-like tree in her hands. There were a small row of fruits on the tree, red through and through.

    Bai Li plucked one off and put it in her mouth before nodding in satisfaction.

    ¡°Not bad. It¡¯s quite delicious, sweet and sour.¡±

    Bai Li had not found anything worth eating since she was born. It was not that she did not need to eat but because human food provided energy that was too mottled, and it was not as good as the energy she received from energy cores!

    However, she had eaten talent fruits before and nowadays there were more of those lying around, naturally that was a good thing.

    Qin Feng saw the fruit and instantly knew what it was.

    ¡°Bludcatarrch fruit!¡±

    Speaking of which, the fruit was pretty disgusting. It was a spirit herb cultivated by vampire bats using their own phlegm. It was not exactly phlegm though as it was actually weak heart blood. The heart blood was a jelly with a fruit-like shape, hence the nickname ¡®bludcatarrch¡¯ fruit.

    While the fruit did not sound appetizing it had a strong physical growth ability, which was a thousand times stronger than the blood from a giant bat.

    This kind of treasure was not something a normal giant bat could produce.

    ¡°Shoot!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s face became pale.

    Zhou Hao had also just realized what it was, after all he had only gone through the course about Greenhill mines the day before. It was said that the ce was giant bat territory, where there were ultra beasts such as vampire bats producing spirit herbs like nyxweed, sonicblooms and of course, bludcatarrch fruit.

    To think he would unexpectedlye across these today!

    It was just then that Teacher¡¯s words came to mind, ¡°As the blood of many bats are needed, the production of bludcatrrch fruits are overseen by higher rank ultra beasts, forcing the lower rank ultra beasts into cooperation to nurture them. As such, when this kind of fruit appears, we need to be aware of our surroundings. Powerful beast generals may be nearby, or even a beast king!¡±

    Thinking of this, Zhou Hao¡¯s face also waned and beads of sweat formed on his brow.

    ¡°Move!¡± Qin Feng shouted.

    Zhou Hao picked himself up and bolted after Qin Feng.

    Xiao Bai had no idea what was going on, but gracefully chased after the two. Despite wearing high heels, she had no problem keeping up with them.

    If one were to look carefully, the person would be able to see that her feet were not touching the ground at all.

    ¡°Why are you running?¡±

    Bai Li was oblivious.

    Then there came a cacophony of noise, all the sound of pping wings seemed so dense that there was no way to make out the number of bats causing the ruckus.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face hardened.

    He took the opportunity to look behind him and, in the darkness, saw hundreds of bats flying over.

    If it were not for the cave not being very big, the numbers would be even more!

    ¡°Xiao Bai, in front of me!¡± Qin Feng pushed Bai Li away and hysterically urged his consciousness toe forth.

    The satellite near the crystal orb suddenly burst into a huge rune.

    Zhou Hao felt the light behind him shining brightly. Not knowing what was happening, he could not help himself but look behind him, he saw Qin Feng shrouded in a mysterious rune.

    The runes were all ck and red, rising up from around him, and there looked to be thousands upon thousands of them.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and a fireball appeared in front of him. It was only about the size of a fist until hundreds of thousands of runes flooded toward the fireball, quickly making it grow in size.

    In the blink of an eye, the fireball turned into a huge ball of me more than three meters tall that almost blocked the entire tunnel of the mine.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Feng pushed forward and the fireball thundered forth, charging toward the swarm.

    Like being burned to a crisp, the bats who were in hot pursuit were all burned by the me. Even if they did not die immediately, they would have been knocked out. A fireball in this kind of channel would be able to kill anything in an instant.

    Zhou Hao stared on, dumbstruck and his jaw hanging.

    ¡°Ability user! Is it really that powerful?¡± Zhou Hao murmured, the disy of power was terrifying.

    ¡°What are you doing? Run!¡±

    Qin Feng pushed Zhou Hao and the two started to run again.

    The fireball had disappeared and the sound of pping wings could be heard in the distance. This time it sounded more frantic, as if it was gaining speed, as a sharp shriek came toward their direction.

    Zhou Hao felt a stinging sensation in his ears.

    ¡°It¡¯s a beast soldier giant bat, G5 rank!¡± This was not good news for Zhou Hao. He had the ability to take down a bunch of ultra beasts but that did not mean that he could take on a beast soldier. That was well out of his capabilities.

    Fortunately, the tunnel exit was right ahead.

    ¡°Qin Feng! That¡¯s a bad idea! If we run out, they¡¯ll keep chasing us! It¡¯s dark out!¡± Zhou Hao frantically said.

    Qin Feng calmly replied, ¡°Rx.¡±

    Zhou Hao was suddenly full of questions, but after hearing Qin Feng say that he could only put more power into his legs and keep going forward. It was a good thing Qin Feng gave him the Obsidian Gale Leg ability or else the bats would have caught up by now!

    ¡°Xiao Bai! Take out the box of bombs!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Xiao Bai raised her hand and instantly the box appeared. Even while running for their lives, she was dependable and stable.

    It waspletely filled with bombs.

    Not just any bomb, but extremely powerful timed bombs.

    Qin Feng got them from He Li¡¯s Space Rune equipment, massive destructive power, and was saving it for a future asion. He did not expect having to waste it on a G5 rank giant bat.

    Qin Feng knew that not using it would be a bad idea, just like Zhou Hao being worried yesterday. There were an innumerable amount of giant bats within the Greenhill mines, now under themand of some unknown rank giant bat. If they were to rush out now, the consequences were unthinkable.

    ¡°You go on first!¡± Qin Feng stopped fifty meters from the exit of the tunnel, opening the box directly and quickly nting the bombs on the wall. He was surrounded by twenty to thirty powerful timed explosives, enough topletely destroy the whole tunnel!

    ¡°Qin Feng! Hurry up!¡± Zhou Hao called out from the tunnel exit.

    ¡°Move!¡±

    Qin Fengmanded Bai Li to take him to the exit of the tunnel. Fifty meters was just the blink of an eye.

    As Zhou Hao saw the two appear, his heart was finally able to pace itself!

    At this moment, the violent pping of wings could be heard again.

    ¡°Have fun!¡± Qin Feng tossed the remote control to Zhou Hao, who immediately mmed onto the red button.

    ¡°Ka-Boom!¡±

    The whole mountain was rocked by the explosion, rocks broke loose and started crumbling down, and sporadic ultra beasts fled in a panic!

    Zhou Hao stabilized himself before suddenly coughing.

    Smog had surrounded them, and under the moonlight, dust could be seen flying around in the air.

    ¡°Qin Feng, next time, don¡¯t try to entertain me when our lives are at stake! What are you trying to do, acting all cool like?¡± Zhoa Hao berated through his coughs.

    Qin Feng grinned but did not refute.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know if all the bats are crushed to death!¡±

    Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°The bombs were only ced to copse the tunnel, it probably crushed a few hundred, any more than that would be impossible.¡±

    And it was that moment that the pping of wings could be heard and a giant bat suddenly flew out of a cave.

    <h4>Chapter 81: The Dark Ability</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Though at this time, Zhou Hao and Qin Feng were very calm.

    The sound was no longer densely packed, there was only one!

    ¡°Hey hey, looks like there¡¯s a straggler. You¡¯ll serve nicely to show my aplishment!¡±

    Zhou Hao¡¯s legs shed and he quickly took down the giant bat.

    Qin Feng had already killed the stipted number of bats before they came out of the tunnel. Zhou Hao had managed to kill almost a hundred, but there were still another hundred G-tier ultra beasts he had to take down.

    If they could no longer hunt in the mine, Zhou Hao might have to skip school tomorrow!

    Just after Zhou Hao had in the bat, another one flew out from the cave!

    This time, even Zhou Hao found it strange.

    ¡°I¡¯ll go check it out!¡± Qin Feng gave prior notice before walking into the mine.

    At this time, the dust in the mine had settled. The position fifty meters into the mine had been blocked off by the fallen rock debris.

    However, there was a crack in the ground near the blockage.

    It was no bigger than the size of two palms. The giant bats could not fly out of it but it could fold its wings and crawl out, though it would require some effort on their end.

    Yet, the body of the bats were flexible, and another one popped out rather quickly.

    Qin Feng immediately shattered its skull with a shot and pulled out the giant bat. After it was pulled out, another started to appear.

    ¡°Master, you want some fruits?¡± Xiao Bai was on the sidelines watching the show, not understanding the appeal of some little winged rats.

    She was chewing on some bludcatarrh fruit, and the faint sweet breath that came from her made the crawling bat more agitated.

    ¡°Squeek!¡±

    The bats that were blocked off also let out a collective harsh shriek. They had also smelled the bludcatarrh fruit.

    ¡°Qin Feng, what¡¯s going on?¡±

    Zhou Hao had handled the previous bat outside and he walked toward him,ing upon this unexpected scene.

    ¡°Hahaha! These giant bats are so dumb. Quick, let me have a go, I happen to need about a hundred more and I can literally just take them on here one by one!¡± Zhou Hao excitedly eximed.

    Qin Feng shook his head.

    ¡°It¡¯s better for them to have appeared from the trapped mine before killing them, the video won¡¯t approve it if you kill them like this.¡±

    Those who did not know the actual situation would have considered this fraudulent, and if it were a machine that was auditing it, there would be random spot checks.

    Zhou Hao thought about this and felt that it made sense so he did not reject Qin Feng¡¯s suggestion.

    For all the giant bats that appeared after, Zhou Hao fought them in person. In Qin Feng¡¯s spare time, he wielded the Verdant Emperor Saber, killing whichever giant bat that would appear.

    Even if the second bat that came out knew that the giant bat before it was dead, it could not head back. There must be countless giant bats pushing against it, all tempted by the bludcatarrh fruit.

    Not only that, there was still the possibility of a potential king figure among them.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s hunting speed was fast, but killing one hundred was something easier said than done. After an hour, he had already run out of power, yet there were still thirty G-tier ultra beasts he needed to y.

    At this point, he had already exceeded the extent of his ability!

    ¡°Xiao Bai, give him a bludcatarrh fruit!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Bai Li reluctantly rewarded Zhou Hao in a manner as if she were gracing him with a fruit.

    ¡°Just one! I¡¯m not giving anymore!¡± Bai Li said.

    ¡°Thank you, little princes!¡± Zhou Hao said sweetly, taking the fruit and directly swallowing it.

    Suddenly, a pure burst of energy surged through his body, merging into all four of his limbs. The previously sore and weak muscles became full of vigor as if they were being activated again.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s physical strength had advanced into G3 tier!

    ¡°Come! Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Zhou Hao once moreunched himself intobat with the giant bats.

    After half an hour, Zhou Hao reached his goal of thirty but it was obvious that the two did not intend to leave the area anytime soon.

    ¡°Kill them all! This is all money!¡± Zhou Hao already had an extra dagger in his hand, just waiting for the next giant bat to appear.

    Qin Feng thought for a moment, before asking Bai Li for another fruit and handed it to Zhou Hao.

    ¡°You stay here and keep killing, I¡¯ll head over to see the other side!¡±

    Qin Feng intended to end these giant bats.

    Although for Qin Feng, these giant bats could not add too much benefit to him due to their strength only being G3 to G5 in tier, but they were inrge numbers and they could strengthen themselves!

    ¡°Roger that!¡±

    In the previous battle, Zhou Hao was made aware of Bai Li¡¯s strength, and the ability to instantaneously move was simply the perfect solution for a quick escape!

    What he did not expect was that Bai Li¡¯s ability for instantaneous movement was an incredibly rare spatial ability.

    At this time, Qin Feng and Bai Li had reached the other end of the tunnel, two hundred meters away.

    Since reaching the power of an F-tier beast king, even movement within one kilometer could be achieved, two hundred meters was a piece of cake!

    Qin Feng could already clearly hear the sound of giant bat wings pping.

    ¡°This time, let¡¯s try out the power of the darkness ability!¡±

    Qin Feng had been stewing in the library for a couple of days, reaping in great reward. The giant fireball he had managed to toss out earlier came from such.

    Of course, previously when chasing down Viper, Qin Feng had already utilized fire ability. Yet, it was not as big as it was this time, clearly it was not just a slight improvement.

    Qin Feng came from around the corner, directly behind the swarm of giant bats. Since they were all preupied with the bludcatarrh fruit that Zhou Hao was holding, theypletely ignored the two.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness began to mobilize and dark runes spread from his body.

    At this moment, Qin Feng was not shrouded in mes, nor would he be radiant. Quite contrarily, he would be shrouded in darkness and be more elusive.

    A ck sphere appeared in his hands, and then, it gradually becamerger.

    Runes kept flooding into the sphere, making the dark orb grow into a terrifying three-meter-wide orb which consumed everything within sight. Qin Feng¡¯s vision was shrouded inplete darkness, even his sight had be pitch ck!

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Under Qin Feng¡¯smand, the dark orb silently flew forward.

    It waspletely silent, there was no screech like when the fireball impacted against the giant bats, nor the sound of an explosion.

    Under the amplification of the hellstone, the power of the dark orb reached its fever pitch of horror as it swallowed the giant bats in the blink of an eye.

    Wherever it went, the giant batsnded one after another,pletely drained of any vitality.

    The dark orb advanced ten meters and as the bats were so condensed in a single area, it killed up to five hundred giant bats.

    Qin Feng stared on and seemed to understand the power behind the dark runes.

    ¡°So this is the dark rune. No wonder my senior said that the strongest dark ability was called the Finger of Death. It¡¯s because dark runes represent death just as light runes represent new life!¡±

    ¡°Once more!¡±

    Qin Feng would not just stop because of the ominous implications behind the dark runes. On the contrary, he did not believe in such a thing as a ¡®good¡¯ or ¡®bad¡¯ ability, it was only the person using it that was strong or weak.

    The dark orb was gathered once more!

    Without a word, without a sound, the swarm of giant bats was consumed.

 Chapter 82 - Wiping Out Giant Bats

    <h4>Chapter 82: Wiping Out Giant Bats</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had its limits. After firing about ten dark orbs, he started to feel a bit weaker.

    Even Qin Feng himself did not know how many giant bats he had killed by now. It was at that time that the giant bat swarm experienced a shock, giving up on trying to squeeze through the crack and instead started to turn around in retreat.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s expression changed, he was losing power and his face was wane. Definitely not a match against a group of giant bats.

    Bai Li quickly grabbed Qin Feng and brought him back to the exit of the copsed tunnel.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s dagger arm was starting to feel weaker!

    Looking at the time, it was already 3am in the morning!

    In these past few hours, Zhou Hao¡¯s kill score was equally huge, having killed up to eight hundred giant bats.

    ¡°No more?¡± Zhou Hao¡¯s arms were trembling, truly ying ultra beasts until his arm was going to fall off!

    ¡°Don¡¯t deal with the bodies yet, let¡¯s go back to the car and get some rest,¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Okay, I will call my dad and let him know I¡¯m okay!¡± Zhou Hao saw the messages on hismunicator and quickly dialed back to tell his parents that he was well, but he would not be able to go back today.

    ¡°Eat the rest of the bludcatarrh fruit, you¡¯ve just violently expended a lot of energy. Don¡¯t fall asleep just yet, meditate first!¡±

    ¡°Got it!¡±

    Zhou Hao returned back to his off-road vehicle, this time realizing the benefits of having such a big space. The back seats could be retracted in order to make a huge space. Zhou Hao sat inside and began to meditate on his internal power.

    In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Zhou Hao, who had been meditating his internal force, took a deep exhale. His eyes gleamed as he felt his exhaustion being swept away, obviously he had received arge gain.

    ¡°Haha, looks like I advanced again!¡±

    A heavenly treasure, enough to speed up someone¡¯s progression. Zhou Hao now had the strength of a G4 tier!

    In just one night, he was promoted nearly twice, Zhou Hao seemed to have uncovered the secret behind Qin Feng¡¯s strength.

    Only in constant fighting, training yourself, adventuring and taking risks to retrieve treasures would one be able to make rapid progress.

    Qin Feng was also done resting and the two began to sweep up their spoils. After all, this was a lot of money.

    Qin Feng asked Xiao Bai to take him back into the depths of the tunnel and began to clean up the corpses of those beasts.

    The number was beyond imagination.

    He could not waste these materials, and had them all sorted out. In the end, he found the body of a beast king.

    ¡°I... I actually killed a beast king yesterday?¡± Qin Feng was very surprised.

    The strength of this beast king during its lifetime was almost the same as the herbivorous giant rat king, but regardless of description it was still a beast king. Yet it had its lifeforce silenced by Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability and died here.

    ¡°No wonder those bats started fleeing yesterday!¡± Qin Feng thought about the scene yesterday and believed it to be the reason.

    In fact, the beast king died in a cruel way.

    It came here with arge number of children and grandchildren but were all buried together. It tried to use sonic waves to get the bats to spread apart, but due to theck of space, it ended up getting stuck in the center.

    When Qin Feng let loose his dark ability, it tried to hide, yet there was no way to avoid it and was put to death while still standing.

    ¡°The darkness ability is really powerful!¡± Qin Feng thought, feeling ted.

    He began to pick up the corpses from the ground, not only was there a beast king, there were also six more beast generals among the three thousand corpses.

    Including Zhou Hao¡¯s number, it looked like the giant bats of Greenhill mine had just suffered a gigantic loss!

    The fight did not take long, but collecting the rest of the bodies took up to three hours.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s side gave him a full harvest, his car brimming with loot and Qin Feng¡¯s things were hanging off from the side. The number was absolutely terrifying.

    By the time they returned to the city it was already 8am. With a huge load of goods, they went to the Wanzong equipment shop first.

    It was the only kind of store that would be able to afford their goods anyway.

    ¡°You should check the goods first, we still have other things to do. You can transfer the money our way after you¡¯re done checking!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Sun Yu nodded excitedly, previously he was still thinking that the quality of the things Qin Feng sold to him were quite low. Today, he found out that Qin Feng made up for that with quantity, and the quantity was staggering.

    Not only that, Qin Feng harvested the materials from the giant bat king so it could be made into a cloak and a dagger.

    Since the abilities of the giant bat king was to hide in the dark, the rune equipment made out of its wings had a certain concealment ability. Qin Feng did not need it but Zhou Hao did.

    This would greatly increase Zhou Hao¡¯s survivability. Inbination with his Obsidian Gale Legs¡¯ escape potential, it would be impossible for people to keep up with Zhou Hao.

    After bidding Sun Yu goodbye, Qin Feng went to the ability certification hall.

    It was eight in the morning and the hall had just opened its doors, yet there were people going about already. It was certainly busy here regardless of the time.

    After all, the ability certification hall also posted missions, unless there were special certification machinations in the area, the frogmen, wolves and so on that Qin Feng had killed before could be certified at the hall, increasing one¡¯s points and acquiring something that they would not usually be able to buy.

    Qin Feng and Zhou Hao had just appeared, which attracted the headhunters that stayed around the certification hall all year long.

    Zhou Hao and Qin Feng were here the day before yesterday, and some people would not forget young men with such potential. Yet, they were wondering what these two were doing here.

    Not only that, both of them were carryingbat backpacks.

    ¡°Am I just imagining things?¡±

    ¡°How¡¯s that possible, didn¡¯t they just apply the day before yesterday afternoon? In this case, it¡¯s only been two days!¡±

    ¡°Not two days! It¡¯s only been forty hours!¡±

    Nobody was certain what was going on, until they saw that Qin Feng and Zhou Hao were indeed there for certification.

    Zhou Hao took out two hundred giant bat tails and at the same time submitted those with the video.

    [Beep Beep. Certification passed. Congrattions on obtaining the G-tier ability assessment. Join the house of ability users!]

    Qin Feng¡¯s side disyed the same.

    ¡°Qin Feng, do you want to do the attack power certification? We can raise our ranks!¡± Zhou Hao said excitedly. He was thinking about how he had gone up to G4 tier in one go, which would surely shock a lot of people.

    After obtaining the G-tier aptitude user badge, you no longer needed to hunt monsters to upgrade yourself. As long as there was enough data, the badge would rank up automatically.

    Moreover, the higher your rank, the better your welfare.

    ¡°Don¡¯t need it yet.¡± Qin Feng understood that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.

    Zhou Hao might have the strength of a G4-tier but he definitely did not have the experience of being one. He was afraid thatter on Zhou Hao might be assigned to an area that was too dangerous for him.

    He could not tell him that reasoning though.

    ¡°If you get to G4 now, how are you gonna get along with our seniors?¡± Qin Feng made a joke.

    ¡°Haaah! You¡¯re right!¡± Zhou Hao felt even more pleased after hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    The thoughts of getting a rank certification was instantly dispelled.

    As the two turned around, they realized that they were surrounded by a group of people. In the next moment, they were enthusiastically promoting their organizations.

 Chapter 83 - Approaching the Frontlines

    <h4>Chapter 83: Approaching the Frontlines</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng and Zhou Hao had to struggle vehemently to finally get away from those people.

    They were not going to join any silly organization.

    The time was already past ten in the morning, it was no surprise that Zhou Hao too waste this time.

    When Qin Feng arrived at school, the second course for rune writing was already underway. Qin Feng knocked on the door and when Cheng Chao saw him, he was undoubtedly rather angry.

    ¡°Go to the back and stand there for the rest of the ss!¡± Cheng Chao said with a straight face.

    ¡°Yes, Teacher,¡± Qin Feng nodded and stood where he was told without anyints.

    He drew strange gazes from the others in ss, some of admiration, some of contempt and there were even traces of concern among them.

    After all, Qin Feng¡¯s achievements in the gunslinging course were as good as the teacher¡¯s, in the end they were all students of the ability ss. What they really wanted was to know how to control their abilities.

    Everyone knew each other¡¯s power level, except for Qin Feng¡¯s. Most people spected that Qin Feng¡¯s ability was not very powerful. In the future, he might be transferred to be a gunner. The most important point was that Qin Feng seemed like he really did not fit in!

    The ss resumed immediately so they no longer lingered on Qin Feng as they continued to concentrate on ss.

    Two hours into the ss, after announcing that the ss had ended, Qin Feng walked up to Cheng Chao¡¯s side.

    Cheng Chao¡¯s face bore a serious expression, no longer concerned whether there were students around as he directly said, ¡°Qin Feng, what¡¯s the matter? You¡¯re not even bothered to take my ss now?¡±

    ¡°Teacher Cheng, I have something I want to talk about.¡±

    Qin Feng avoided the question. If it were not for the fact that it was Cheng Chao¡¯s ss, he probably might not even be able to attend.

    ¡°What is it? Do you have a reason? You better give me a good reason, otherwise, don¡¯t even think about leaving today!¡±

    Cheng Chao looked very displeased, Qin Feng really was too unrestrained and did as he pleased.

    Yet Qin Feng still remained nonchnt. He had no traces of guilt nor fear.

    Cheng Chao had not seen such a student for many years.

    Qin Feng nodded and pulled out a palm-sized badge with a letter G used by the alliance engraved on it. ¡°Teacher, now I can go out to help support the fight against the Corpse Corps!¡±

    Cheng Chao looked at the aptitude user badge and his mouth opened up into an ¡®O¡¯ shape!

    Those that were still in the ss saw this and their eyes widened.

    ¡°An aptitude user badge. Qin Feng, you¡¯re already a certified ability user?¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Lemme see!¡±

    At that moment, several people gathered around to gawk at Qin Feng¡¯s badge.

    ¡°That¡¯s probably a fake!¡± One of them said with uncertainty, in his heart he knew that it could not be true. After all, Qin Feng was a student that did not take ss seriously!

    At this point, Cheng Chao was also in disbelief. In fact, he was also unsure whether the badge was real or not, but based on his years of experience, he felt that the badge was not a fake!

    ¡°Real or not, you¡¯ll know after you verify it!¡± Qin Feng handed the aptitude badge to Cheng Chao.

    Cheng Chao took the badge and flipped open hismunicator doubtfully to scan the independent code below. That was something that could not be forged by anyone. Immediately, Qin Feng¡¯s information was disyed and it showed that his certification time was no more than just two hours ago.

    Cheng Chao inhaled sharply.

    For those who had recently awakened, reaching G-tier was not something surprising. For example, Cheng Chao knew that the Ancient Warrior ss had a genius called Zhou Hao in it this year. Without any form of systematic training, he was able to punch out up to 500 points in one go.

    Having such strength and being a certified ability user were twopletely different things altogether.

    After all, they had to kill two hundred monsters in three days¡¯ time. However, Qin Feng was in ss yesterday.

    ¡°This. Wha-When did this happen? Why did you get your certification?¡± Cheng Chao did not know what to say. Qin Feng replied calmly, ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask you before? So long as someone has reached G-tier they can go help hold back the Corpse Corps. Teacher, you agreed to this before.¡±

    Cheng Chao was speechless for a while, when did he agree to it? However, if one were to be a G-tier ability user, the person did have the ability to help out with the Corpse Corps.

    ¡°So you got certified in only two days¡¯ time? When did you have the time to kill so many ultra beasts?¡± Cheng Chao asked in astonishment.

    ¡°After school, all at night,¡± Qin Feng said casually, those hearing this would surely not think that it was something casual at all.

    The wilderness was extremely dangerous at night, and this was something everyone knew from the word going around, but now, Qin Feng did not just go out at night, he had also hunted down two hundred ultra beasts?

    ¡°You¡¯re a lunatic!¡± Cheng Chao was so shocked that he identally blurted out. He quickly came to and coughed politely to cover up his embarrassment. ¡°Qin Feng, since you have a G-tier aptitude user badge, you can naturally go to the frontlines. However, Director Deng has already set off with the others, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to catch up with his team!¡±

    Qin Feng took back the badge and nodded. ¡°I own a car so I¡¯ll go by myself. Teacher, you don¡¯t need to worry.¡±

    Cheng Chao could not help but feel worried deep down. However, he knew that there was no way he could stop Qin Feng.

    ¡°Very well, I¡¯ll authorize your school leave, but you must return after one month. That¡¯s when the assessment is being held and you absolutely must attend!¡±

    After one month, it would be the Five District Assessment, thinking of Qin Feng¡¯s strength made Cheng Chao feel a giddy sense of excitement.

    What a lunatic, and a genius at that!

    He had only been in school for a few days, yet he had reached G tier and even got himself an aptitude certification badge. When it was time to go to the Spring Hunting Ground, would he take down the four other sides and crush the other academies?

    Things would turn in Chengbei¡¯s favor this time, no, it would overturn the oue.

    ¡°Yes, teacher!¡±

    Then, Qin Feng left the ssroom, leaving the other students inplete shock. The news quickly spread throughout the school. A student from the first grade had be a certified ability user and went to the frontlines.

    But soon they discovered that Qin Feng did not do it alone. Zhou Hao from the Ancient Warrior ss was also going as well, and some people were saying that Zhou Hao and Qin Feng were actually friends.

    Surely, the friend of a genius was also a genius!

    ***

    Since Qin Feng and Zhou Hao had fought for the whole night, they waited for each other to rest up before heading off into the wilderness.

    The Corpse Corps business had everyone up about in a state of panic. Two dayster, people within the colony had also begun to disy signs of decay.

    The overwhelming publicity had begun to shroud the entire colony, those with the ability to fight were all summoned and sent off to the field, and they were being paid a hefty sum for it.

    Six o¡¯clock in the evening, Qin Feng and Zhou Hao¡¯s cars that were going down the man-made road that had been opened up eventually reached the frontlines.

    When he saw the crater made by the Hellstone again, he could hardly believe his eyes.

    <h4>Chapter 84: The Power of the Knight King</h4>

    It was as if the ce had be an entirely different world. The hilltops were unsightly, having be ck as if scorched, and it stretched on for miles.

    In the video previously shot by a drone, Qin Feng only saw arge number of the corpse corps but the area affected was definitely not sorge.

    Perhaps there had been a major change in the past two days, or perhaps that the video filmed was only the tip of the iceberg as it was the first form of media about the matter at hand.

    It seemed that the situation was more of a crisis than initially imagined.

    Qin Feng did not even have time toment as a dark ray of light burst out from the top of the mountain in the distance. There were also eight rays of light that were surrounding the main one, reaching up into the skies.

    And then, up in the air, a disc appeared.

    ¡°Rift! Spatial Rift!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s and Zhou Hao¡¯smunicators were connected, which made it easy to contact each other for emergencies like this. It was Zhou Hao¡¯s frantic voice that came from themunicator.

    ¡°It¡¯s not a spatial rift, but a spatial passage!¡± Qin Feng eximed

    The spatial passage opened up, and what quickly poured out were countless creatures. There were zombies and bone beasts, and the numbers were terrifyinglyrge.

    The rift was only opened up for a few minutes, but several new figures had appeared. These people were equipped with gliding wings, well-equipped and their strength was definitely far from weak.

    ¡°Outta my way!¡±

    One of the voices arrogantly called out before extending an earth-shatteringly huge palm outward, striking the ground below.

    ¡°Boom!¡±

    After that one strike, the ck light in the sky disappeared and the waves from the spatial passage began to stabilize.

    Soon, a tall figure with dark runes covering its body appeared, and below its torso there was a thick ck mist that resembled a warhorse made out of shadows. The upper body was d in heavy knight-like armor and it held a pike in its hands.

    ¡°nk!¡±

    ¡°Bang bang!¡±

    The two began to exchange blows.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes narrowed, he recognized the figure on the horse as the F-tier beast king he saw on the video. Even if he was a kilometer away, he could feel it. This beast king was in the F8 rank.

    The one who was fighting with it was not a slouch either, he was an E-tier powerhouse.

    The two of them were inextricably locked in battle and their fight gradually shifted from the mountain top.

    It was at this moment a roar came from the horizon, reverberating through the air. Yellow, steaming artillery shells that were crossed in a perfect arc in the skynded on the mountain top.

    ¡°Boom!¡±

    The shells suddenly exploded, and the force of the vibration could be felt a thousand miles away. This was definitely the work of a powerful firearm user.

    The remaining seven beams of light and one main beam of light in the sky became momentarily twisted, then were cut off. The originally stable spatial rift began to tremble before closing in on itself, causing the countless undeading through to have their bodies crushed to death.

    Up ahead came the sound of people cheering.

    ¡°Let¡¯s get into position first!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s voice rang out so that he could snap Zhou Hao out of his daze. The battle was quite entrancing for him. Zhou Hao, who had thought he had reached the big leagues, just realized that everything he had experienced up until this point was merely child¡¯s y.

    The two cars started up again, and soon they saw the presence of the other people.

    One thousand kilometers away from the edge of the Corpse Corps, assembled with traps and protective measures set up, the open ground was messy and full of domestic litter with tents of all shapes and sizes scattered around.

    From time to time, the sounds of gunfire could be heard as a measure to prevent the corpses from wandering too close. Moreover, there were people moving about, some of their faces had ckened, apparently infected by the gue.

    However, the body of an ability user was not weak. So long as they had left the area, they would recover from it.

    ¡°There are so many people!!¡±

    For a moment, Qin Feng and Zhou Hao could not find anyone from Chengbei¡¯s advanced academies. However, Qin Feng did note here to fight alongside those from the advanced academies!

    ¡°Let¡¯s find Xiao Jing first!¡± Qin Feng said. Xiao Jing was now part of Chengbei colony¡¯s garrison troop. Due to her talent and willingness to work hard, she had mixed in quite well with the rest of the troop after half a month, and had been promoted by team leader Li Wen to the rank of vice captain!

    The world respected the strong, just because Xiao Jing just recently joined the garrison troop, it did not mean that she was to be underestimated. So long as she was strong, they would even make her a general!

    While waiting for Xiao Jing to arrive, the surrounding people began to discuss among themselves.

    ¡°That firearm user from Dongling colony is way too strong, he is an E-tier firearm user who can take the enemy down from a thousand miles away!¡±

    ¡°If Liu Ba from the Xita district weren¡¯t in the front, he wouldn¡¯t have it so easy. Don¡¯t forget that his energy beams were reflected by that king tier knight, resulting in the death of more than a dozen aptitude users!¡±

    ¡°If you ask me, we should let the ability users move out!¡±

    ¡°What are they waiting for?¡±

    Zhou Hao felt a sense of admiration. ¡°That Liu Ba is really powerful!¡±

    ¡°It alright,¡± If he really were powerful, they would not have been repelled, the enemy was just momentarily impeded. Not only that, Qin Feng knew that Liu Ba was pinned this time and he could be injured!

    ¡°Qin Feng, Zhou Hao!¡± Xiao Jing¡¯s voice rang out, and the two of them turned to the direction of the sound. They found Xiao Jing wearing a garrison troop¡¯s uniform, seemingly having grown more mature, raised in a manner that men would look up to. Heroic and dashing.

    ¡°Haha, Xiao Jing, you¡¯re exceptionally good looking in that outfit. I didn¡¯t find you this attractive before!¡± Zhou Hao blurted out.

    Xiao Jing rolled her eyes, ¡°Shut that witty mouth of yours, the situation is dire. I will go on patrol soon and I¡¯ll first arrange a ce for you to stay!¡±

    The frontlines must never be chaotic, if there were a crisis happening then it would also affect the support system.

    The more they were pushed back, the harder it would be for them to escape.

    Soon, Qin Feng and Zhou Hao were arranged to stay in a ce further back from the frontlines. Two floating tanks were parked there with a tent set up in the middle, which became Qin Feng and Zhou Hao¡¯s temporary residence.

    ¡°You guys could make do with some food, and there¡¯s no need for you to keep vigil tonight. Tomorrow¡¯s the big siege!¡±

    Xiao Jing gave some food to Qin Feng and Zhou Hao, though it was supposed to be a simple meal, what she gave them were all first rate ultra beast jerky.

    ¡°How are things looking now?¡±

    ¡°Not good.¡±

    Xiao Jing opened hermunicator and passed the exact map location over to Qin Feng and Zhou Hao. ¡°The Corpse Corps is getting closer to Chengyang City and has upied three mountain tops. The upied area resembles the word ¡®character¡¯*, so the higher ups have coined these three mountains as Zimu Mountains.

    There were already symbols marking the mountains, and not only that, there were alsorge and small colored dots. Among them, a dark-red dot was on the ¡®mother¡¯ mountain which was in the centre, representing an extreme degree of danger. The ¡®child¡¯ mountains were also in red, with the outermost one being orange.

    This represented the numbers of the F tier and G tier ultra beasts respectively. The sizes of the dots represented strength. The huge dark-red dots represented the king-tier, but on the map, there seemed to be two of those king-tier dots.

    *Trantor¡¯s note: The upied area resembles the Chinese character Æ·, meaning ¡®character¡¯. The name Zimu Mountains is directly tranted from ×ÓÄ¸É½ meaning ¡®Child and Mother Mountains¡¯ as the ¿Ú character resembles a mother with two children when stacked together.

    <h4>Chapter 85: Late night visit to Zimu Mountains</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°There are approximately thirty thousand G-tier zombies, however, we only have five thousand aptitude users here, and the thousands of F-tier mutated zombies are even deadlier as it would be extremely difficult to deal with their high movement speed and distinct aptitude!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned unwittingly.

    Zhou Hao, mouth wide agape, asked, ¡°How many F-tier aptitude users do we have here?¡±

    Obviously, G-tier aptitude users were not of great importance in this situation, and higher tiers would be their only hope left. However, the answer from Xiao Jing left Zhou Hao disappointed.

    ¡°There are more than one hundred of them, from the joint forces of Chenyang and the 4th district, and requests for backup are now being sent to other districts!¡±

    Xiao Jing also sighed heavily.

    Qin Feng knew that it was already an incredible number!

    Many of the F-tier aptitude users had now taken up multiple roles, with Xue Xingfu as an example, being the team leader of the patrol team that had to protect the safety of the colony, it would be impossible to expect the leader¡¯s presence here.

    ¡°What about E-tiers? Wouldn¡¯t it be an easy task for E-tier aptitude users to destroy these zombies?¡± Zhou Hao could not resist the urge to ask as he greatly sensed the unfavourable situation and had on a worried expression.

    Xiao Jing nodded as it had finallye to a piece of good news. ¡°There are approximately ten E-tier aptitude users now, our Chengbei Colony has mobilized deputy mayor Lin Zheng, and also director Deng Nian from the university, ahh, yes, you should know them as you are students from the university!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s great, I thought that these monsters would invade into the Colony!¡± Zhou Hao felt relieved.

    On the contrary, Qin Feng did not seem at all relieved by that particr news.

    ¡°What was with the ck lights and the stable spatial passage earlier on?¡±

    Xiao Jing let out another sigh unintentionally.

    ¡°I was about to mention this, the F-tier beast king that all of you are looking at now is not only the Emperor Knight that was seen earlier on, there is another extremely powerful Dark-Robed Ripper that is also an F-tier, it is able to open the spatial passage and release even more zombies, the number of zombies is now increasing daily!¡±

    It was extremely taxing to open the passage externally, however, it could be easily opened from within.

    Qin Feng had already figured out the root cause of all these, it was most probably caused by the giant beast that had lost one of its hands after being cut down by Xiao Bai.

    He could have started by releasing the Dark-Robed Ripper, and used it to open the passage that had allowed monsters to enter.

    Whereas the owner of the skeletal hand was either too powerful to enter, or perhaps it did not want to consume his own energy to travel through the spatial passage.

    If he were to enter into the suppressed space, it could restrict his powers to that of below one ten thousandth.

    ¡°Well then, just kill the Dark-Robed Ripper!¡± Zhou Hao became impatient as he spoke.

    Xiao Jing shook her head.

    Qin Feng kept an emotionless expression. ¡°If killing it were viable, what else do you think could possibly stop Liu Ba?¡±

    Xiao Jing forced a smile and nodded. ¡°Yes, the ten aptitude users that came earlier thought that they were capable of capturing the king and ignoring the pawns so they went straight up to the Zimu Mountains, however, they were attacked by the Dark-Robed Ripper and lost most of theirbat power; with the presence of the Emperor Knight, four of them were heavily wounded, and now there are only a few E-tier ability users left!¡±

    Zhou Hao who was just feeling slightly relieved earlier on felt that the situation had be dire once again.

    As time passed by, most of the capable fighters had been eliminated by the enemy.

    Qin Feng knew with certainty that the situation had be intense!

    Dark-Robed Rippers were named after those man-like creatures that existed within the rift, this intellectual ethnic group was more horrifying than the others with their great abilities, which also exined how they got their name.

    Their bodies were covered in blood that would absorb energy and persist through long periods ofbat, and they would release dark abilities to attack their enemies.

    They were the greatest enemy of the human race.

    ¡°What is the colony doing besides just observing? Are there any other ns?¡± Zhou Hao asked.

    Xiao Jing replied, ¡°The higher management did announce a battle n, however it serves no purpose!¡±

    Xiao Jing lowered her voice when she spoke as it would be better to keep a low profile when discussing such contents.

    ¡°The higher management has decided to install an internal space stabilizing device to prevent the rift from destroying internally. However, the zombies here all have to be killed before the instation, and as the colony does not have such internal capabilities to do so; hence, the situation now is at a deadlock!¡±

    The space stabilizing device was a highly valuable device as presence of such a rift would pose a threat to every colony and themunity that was within its range, and it was for this reason that the stabilizing devices were installed; and as time went by, the colony was gradually formed around the area to prevent others from destroying the device and also to ensure that it did not go to waste.

    However, it was obvious that any colony that was formed would be situated on top of a volcano that might erupt at any time.

    ¡°Damn, how could that be!¡± Zhou Hao was angered by the inappropriate decision made by the authorities of the Chengyang area.

    Qin Feng had sunk deep into his thoughts.

    ¡°In other words, they would still perform the attacks, have those aptitude users recovered?¡± Qing Feng asked.

    Xiao Jing was surprised by Qin Feng¡¯s analysis and continued saying, ¡°Yes, they have recovered from their wounds and will resumebat tomorrow, both of you must get enough rest and be extra careful during thebat tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°I am heading back now, there is still stuff to be taken care of!¡±

    Xiao Jing waved and left, while Qin Feng noticed the dark circles under Xiao Jing¡¯s eyes and realized that she had not gotten enough rest.

    ¡°We will also head back to rest, let¡¯s continue thebat tomorrow!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Both of them had been busy round the clock for two consecutive days to obtain the G-tier aptitude user badge, they were exhausted by the task, and Zhou Hao headed back to the tent to rest after he had his meal.

    The night light shrouded the area as intense spotlights were turned on to light up the surroundings and prevent the Corpse Corps from closing in, while the garrison army was constantly guarding the area.

    The wind at night was brisk, while the beastly roars from the zombies could still be heard once in a while.

    Qin Feng who was sleeping in the tent opened his eyes.

    He looked at his wrist and saw that it was already 10 o¡¯ clock!

    Qin Feng woke up and headed out into the dark where nobody would notice his presence.

    Qin Feng walked toward the left side of the Zimu Mountains, it was known as the Dazi Mountain, while the other smaller one was known as the Xiaozi Mountain.

    Every flower and nt on the mountains had died and were ck in color, it was this particr scenery that had added on to the spookiness of the surroundings. Qin Feng had only headed out for fifty meters but it felt as if he was a thousand miles away from the base, and it was like he had entered the mouth of a giant beast.

    ¡°It all started because of me, I will contribute as much as I can in this!¡±

    Qin Feng walked into the mountain.

    Night time was the most favoured time for the ultra beasts, the zombies would also gain extrabat power without the hateful sunlight.

    Although the zombies might be strong, Qin Feng was stronger.

    Being a dark ability user, Qin Feng also felt that the dark night was when he was able to conquer.

    ¡°Xiao Bai!¡±

    Qin Feng lightly shrugged while Bai Li in her small fox form jumped down from his shoulder andnded on the ground, then it turned into a human being.

    Moonlight shone upon her body, and she seemed like a beautiful fairy that had descended upon the world.

    ¡°Put on your clothes!¡± Qin Feng was rather frustrated as he said.

    ¡°The weather is not bad today, I shall wear this dress!¡± Bai Li was being picky with her choices as she finally took out a dress and put it on.

    Qin Feng did have a lot to ask Bai Li but he did not ask earlier on as Zhou Hao and Xiao Jing were around.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, you dealt with the beast whose arm you broke, what is the probability of his appearance?¡±

    Although Qin Feng knew that it would be difficult for powerful races to get into the area, he was still a little worried.

    At the end of the day, it was an S-tier presence after all.

    Bai Li shook her head. ¡± It is impossible, the ability of the person is too powerful and there would be space restriction, which was why it was only able to extend one of its hands, and it was easily crushed by me!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Qin Feng felt relieved.

    Bai Li pouted and felt upset. ¡°Master, I do think that you should not be here, the zombies and the broken arm giant beast share a simr aura, they are definitely here to capture you!¡±

    Qin Feng had the same assumption and it became even more valid as it was brought up by Bai Li.

    ¡°This will prove that my assumption is right, the Dark-Robed Ripper works for the broken arm giant beast, along with the Emperor Knight, there might be chances of winning if both of us were to face against them!¡±

    Qin Feng, being an extraordinary F-tier now, had an internal strengthpression amount that was higher than normal human beings,bined with his physical strength, Qin Feng believed that he would be able to go up against a normal beast king by himself.

    It was because he himself was also a beast king in the human form!

    However, Bai Li did not show mercy as she said, ¡°Master, you can¡¯t beat them.¡±

    Qin Feng pinched Bai Li¡¯s little nose.

    ¡°Why do you not have faith in me!¡±

    ¡°Master, you are still weak, but, it is okay, I can protect you, and help you escape!¡±

    Bai Li did not mention defeating the both of them by herself, as she alsocked such powerful capabilities.

    Qin Feng was speechless. ¡°Let¡¯s go, you shall not act this time, and there will be no energy core for you!¡±

    Qin Feng drew out his Verdant Emperor Saber and was ready forbat.

    Bai Li could not understand why Qin Feng would deprive her of food but the energy cores from zombies were not that powerful, and she was not fond of them!

    However, she still had the responsibility to remind her puny master.

    ¡°Master, stop heading in that direction, they must have received orders from that person to capture you, as soon as they have you, they will kill you and extract your ability core, and the Hell Stone will return to its owner, you must not seek your own death!¡±

    ¡°Can¡¯t you just have even the slightest faith in me?¡± Qin Feng was annoyed.

    ¡°The television taught us to be practical and realistic!¡±

    Qin Feng was speechless once more, what had Bai Li been watching recently!

    She needed more guidance!

    However, Qin Feng had a sudden mischievous idea in his head.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, you shall address me as hubby from now on, and not master, as human beings would not address each other this way!¡± Qin Feng grinned as he said.

    ¡®Since you don¡¯t believe in me, I¡¯m going to take advantage of you!¡¯

    ¡°Oh. Alright, Master... eh, Hubby!¡± Bai Li nodded and suddenly her eyes widened. ¡°Be careful!¡±

    All of a sudden, a zombie appeared in the dark and came out from behind a giant tree while it roared and pounced toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng waved the Verdant Emperor Saber in hand and shed the zombie as if he was cutting a watermelon, the zombie that was about G5-tier was immediately shed down by Qin Feng¡¯s saber.

    When faced against such a zombie, it would only take one sh from Qin Feng to take it down.

    ¡°Alright, time to get serious, since I am still weak, I should be getting stronger, and not fall back, it¡¯s not like I have anywhere else to escape to.¡±

    Qin Feng became serious and was focused on killing the zombies.

    Before he was reborn, Qin Feng had been through difficult times to battle his way through before he made it as an A-tier aptitude user.

    Since things had be much smoother now, how could he be fearful of such a small hindrance.

    If so, he would not be the Qin Feng that had survived through difficult times!

    The zombie fell on the ground and Qin Feng continued to rush forward and cut off its skull with his saber, an energy core appeared from within.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    The energy core shrunk in high speed and its energy disappeared within a split second.

    ¡°There is not much energy from these zombies!¡±

    Qin Feng kicked away the zombie skull, and he blended in with the dark and continued to move forward.

    Zombies that were lower-tier would roam around the outer areas, and as they moved to the inner part of the Dazi Mountain, the zombies would be of higher-tiers; soon, they would be able to see the mother mountain from afar behind the Dazi mountain.

    Qin Feng knew that the Emperor Knight and the Dark-Robed Ripper were preying on the top of the mother mountain.

    ¡°No matter what, I will kill both of you!¡±

    Qin Feng put on an austere expression.

    Now that he hade out from the barrier of darkness and revealed himself, he was surrounded by F-tier zombies that had also felt the presence of a human being, and they immediately rushed toward Qin Feng without any hesitation.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    They could even hear the blood flowing within his veins and they could not wait to feast on their dinner.

    ¡°You shall die!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was waved, while icy cold lights were reflected under the moonlight that shone upon it.

    Poof!

    A zombie skull flew up high as it was decapitated from a direct hit.

    There were more zombies that came after it as Qin Fengnded a kick onto one of it and flipped over to sh two other zombies that were beside it.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    A zombie let out a roar and waved its palm toward Qin Feng¡¯s back.

    Qin Feng turned around and waved his saber!

    Poof poof poof poof!

    All the four zombies that nked Qin Feng were all decapitated.

    In a split second, a total of seven F-tier zombies were hunted down by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng immediately felt a pleasant feeling throughout his body after cleaving the skulls and absorbing the energy cores from within.

    It was the feeling of physical transformation.

    F1-tier!

    Qin Feng felt a huge transformation take ce within his physical body.

    ¡°In my previous life, I was only able to achieve such physical capabilities by achieving E-tier, this shows that absorbing abilities has allowed my physical body to have the strength equivalent to ancient warriors that have gone through intensive parallel-training!¡±

    With this thought in mind, Qin Feng could not resist the burning fire in his heart!

    Swoosh!

    All of a sudden, a ck shadow dashed toward him at great speed!

    Qin Feng reacted and swiftly ducked out of the way.

    The shadow of the attacker blended into the dark surroundings.

    ¡°Army-tier!¡±

    It was obviously an elite among the zombies.

    The size of the beast soldier was slightly smaller than ordinary zombies, it had dull and dark coloured flesh that covered its dry bones, as if blood was burnt out from its body all of a sudden, and without any decayed parts on its body, it could move around at high speed.

    Also, Qin Feng could clearly feel the ck runes that were on its body.

    Obviously, it was an assassin in the dark.

    ¡°This might work well with others but it has no effect on me!¡±

    The army-tier dried corpse took advantage of the dark to hide itself, and it could be difficult for others to notice it. However, being a dark ability user himself, how could these tricks work on Qin Feng?

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng pursued further at great speed.

    Once again, the army-tier dried corpse dodged and hid behind Qin Feng, thinking that he did not notice its actions, it raised up its dried palm and revealed its ck sharp piercing nails.

    Swoosh!

    As its wnded, the result was not as expected, where the enemy would die and be its food.

    Ding!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber shed with the ck nails and shing lights immediately sparked from the impact.

    sh!

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber became swift and illusory as he shed three consecutive times at incredible speed.

    Triple sh!

    Martial skill!

    Crack!

    The nails of the army-tier dried corpse cracked and broke off, while another sh that followednded directly on its neck.

    Poof!

    A skull was tossed high up in the air.

    The body of the army-tier dried corpse slightly trembled before it fell onto the ground and diedpletely!

    Qin Feng drew up his Verdant Emperor Saber and halved the skull of the dried corpse, revealing the energy core that was within, it was double the size of the energy cores from the zombies that Qin Feng had encountered earlier on.

    ¡°Not bad!¡±

    Qin Feng was very satisfied and quickly absorbed the energy core.

    Then, Qin Feng continued the intensive ughter, without him realizing it, time passed by quickly and it was already 3 o¡¯ clock early in the morning, and Qin Feng had managed to take down two hundred F-tier zombies!

    With the progress that Qin Feng had, he could eliminate all of the zombies in the surroundings within a day.

    It was impossible for any of the F-tier aptitude users to achieve this as they did not have the endless supply of physical energy, not to mention the limited amount of internal strength, it was only Qin Feng that had such a valiant capability.

    However, when Qin Feng was about to continue on, a flow of horrifying energy rose from the ground.

    Qin Feng immediately turned his head toward the direction from where it came!

    He was actually already at the foot of the mother mountain, at such a close distance, he could clearly see through the dark, there was a channelling light that was darker than the surroundings rising up from the ground.

    The dark light was projected upward and it was connected to the sky, forcefully destroying a section of the sky, and the intersection point had torn the space apart.

    Powerful energy gushed toward the direction of the intersection and formed into a passage.

    The silvery edge of the passage was clearly seen in the dark night.

    It was a spatial rune that was being forcefully opened up.

    ¡°Dark-Robed Ripper!¡±

    Qin Feng knew that the Dark-Robed Ripper had started taking action!

    ¡°Beep beep beep beep, alert! Alert...¡±

    Qin Feng received a hasty alert from hismunicator.

    It was probably not only Qin Feng, everyone else that was close to the area would have received the alert.

    However, Qin Feng was the closest in terms of distance.

    Qin Feng noticed that after the main ck beam had risen up, three of the surrounding ck beams were missing. Also, the rift was slightly smaller than the one that was seen in the afternoon.

    The smaller sized light beams might not be from the Dark-Robed Ripper, it was most probably its subordinates from the Corpse Corps that had been assisting him, where three of them were eliminated by the E-tier gunner.

    However, the giant ck beam along with five other apanying smaller ones had still created a rift that should not be belittled.

    Soon, batches of zombies rushed out from the passage, and most of them were ck corpses, while some of them were bright red in color, as if their bones were ignited with fire.

    General-tier fire corpse!

    Qin Feng¡¯s face darkened as his effort throughout the night was not only wasted, it had even triggered a replenishment of an army that was even more powerful.

    It was truly infuriating!

    It was at that moment, a wild roar was heard from the horizons!

    ¡°Bastard!¡±

    The roar was like a sudden p of thunder, and a bomb then zipped across the sky.

    Vroom vroom vroom!

    From the attack, Qin Feng knew that it was Lu Heng, the E-tier gunner from Dongling colony!

    However, the Corpse Corps seemed to be prepared as a steel spear wasunched from the dark!

    ¡°Emperor Knight!¡±

    Qin Feng was shocked as he looked up, he saw that the Emperor Knight was situated halfway up the slope, and the knight was only five hundred meters away from his position.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face contorted.

    ¡°Shadow!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately hid himself within the shadows and hoped that the Emperor Knight had not noticed him.

    The long spear was aimed at the two bombs that were in the air, and the bombs exploded immediately.

    ¡°Change of course!¡±

    Another roar was heard from a far-off distance and without any signs, a strong flow of will energy transmitted through and the bombs that were in the air changed their direction and were redirected back toward the ck beams that were on top of the mountain.

    The Emperor Knight not only had its spear, it was also equipped with a shield.

    The war horse that it was riding on was like a spectre formed by ck runes as it travelled at ghost speed and went faster than the bombs, even intersecting at a path up ahead that was along the course of the bombs.

    Boom!

    Suddenly, a strong explosion was heard and the spark had illuminated the entire mountain top!

    The Emperor Knight that was protected by the powerful shield was not harmed at all.

    ¡°Damn! Let¡¯s see if you can take this!¡±

    Lu Heng was extremely furious and started pelting bombs around the area but the Emperor Knight intersected every attempt of the bombings and his effort was all in vain.

    Lu Heng would not be able to seed in blocking on his own!

    Qin Feng had already retreated to the foot of the mother mountain, he was near to the centre of the triangr positioned mountains, and the location was in a valley.

    It was at that moment, a whistle was heard from afar, then, another silenced echo was heard from hundreds of meters away.

    Qin Feng immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around, running at high speed!

    After a hundred meters of running, he was able to see something on the ground.

    It was the spear of the Emperor Knight.

    The body of the spear was ck while the head was a dull-blue color, it was shining with lights that were simr to stars in the sky; obviously, it was not any other ordinary equipment.

    ¡°It is star steel!¡±

    Qin Feng had gained widespread knowledge before he was reborn but there were some things that he knew of but were not attainable by him!

    Star steel was one of them.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, get that for me!¡± Qin Fengmanded immediately.

    Xiao Bai hesitated and blinked, she said, ¡°Mast... hubby, you will never get to use it even if you can get away with this spear because it has been bonded with the Emperor Knight!¡±

    Therefore, upon being summoned by the Emperor Knight, it would immediately return to the hands of the knight.

    However, he did not summon the spear when he was in battle with Lu Heng.

    ¡°Weapon spirit bond?¡± Qin Feng knew about such a special weapon but he did not expect an F-tier emperor to own such a precious weapon. ¡°Well, can this bond travel through space?¡±

    Weapon spirit bonds could be categorised into levels as well.

    ¡°It would be impossible for it to travel through my space!¡± Bai Li said confidently.

    ¡°Well that¡¯s good enough, take it, even though I might not be able to use it now. If I have to, I will break off one of its limbs, or maybe kill it, then I might be able to use it in the future!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    Bai Li did not reject him this time and nodded, feeling that her master could be smart at certain times!

    As soon as she raised her hand, the Emperor Spear was ced in her space, and the Emperor Knight immediately sensed it.

    ¡°Roar!!!¡±

    The Emperor Knight let out a furious roar and gave up in protecting the Dark-Robed Ripper, he immediately rushed toward the location where Qin Feng was at.

    ¡°Xiao Bai! Run!¡±

    Bai Li immediately disappeared along with Qin Feng and left no traces behind.

    At the same time, Lu Heng that was at another end felt overjoyed at the unexpected turn of events.

    Although it was uncertain why the Emperor Knight left, it was a once-in-a-blue-moon moment that he had been waiting for.

    ¡°Now die!¡±

    Lu Heng let out a roar in anger, and triggered a series of bombings; without the presence of Liu Ba, Lu Heng was less apprehensive and went ahead in releasing firepower that tripled from those that were released in the afternoon.

    Boom boom boom boom boom!

    Loud explosions were constantly heard as the mountain top was almost levelled by all the destruction.

    The space passage was interrupted by the bombings and disconnected once again, while many of the Corpse Corps were ripped apart.

    Corpse Corps that had just entered were being bombarded and heavily wounded by Lu Heng, however, the riftsted for quite some time and some of the zombies had spread across to other areas.

    The Emperor Knight was frantically in search of something in the middle of the Zimu Mountains but turned up empty handed.

    In a fit of rage, the knight leapt and charged toward the human¡¯s encampment.

    As he came closer, the aptitude users¡¯municators vibrated in a violent manner.

    ¡°Retreat, retreat quickly!¡±

    ¡°Low-level aptitude users, leave immediately!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a King-tier, a King-tier is charging in!¡±

    The camp descended into chaos.

    At this juncture, a brilliant light appeared within the darkness.

    ¡°Great timing!¡±

    An old-sounding yet powerful voice appeared. Innumerable amounts of runes exploded ringly in the sky; turning the dark night into day.

    The old but stout figure of a man emerged a hundred meters away from the camp.

    ¡°It¡¯s the Dean of Chengbei University, the light-elemental ability user, Dengnian!¡±

    Dengnian was a light-elemental ability user. His power was tremendous, but so was his age.

    He was the champion of Chengbei colony. His absence from the previous battle had caused quite a stir among Chengbei Colony. They were afraid that something had happened to him.

    After all, there were creatures like the Ghoul Assassins in the Corpse Corp that could take Dengnian¡¯s life.

    But now, as the Emperor Knight charged onward, Dengnian was delighted and sprung into action.

    He released streaks of light turned into projectiles that aimed for the knight.

    ¡°Hahaha, so nice of you to be here, stay awhile!¡±

    The E-tier ability users began fighting the Emperor Knight.

    Bzzt!

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator went into a frenzied vibration.

    It was Zhou Hao.

    Qin Feng took the call.

    ¡°Madman! Where are you? Where did you go!¡±

    ¡°I went jogging!¡± Qin Feng just got his Starsteel Spear. He was joking around since he was in such a good mood.

    ¡°Well, don¡¯te back to the camp just yet! The Emperor Knight is charging toward the foothills. I¡¯ll move your car, you be careful out there!¡±

    ¡°But I¡¯m already back!¡±

    Qin Feng did not think that Zhou Hao would actually believe his words. He thought that it was funny.

    Any other person would have doubted Qin Feng, thinking that he ran off on his own!

    Qin Feng strode toward his tent. Zhou Hao had tied up the ropes and was ready to push Qin Feng¡¯s car away. He was looking around and saw Qin Feng walking toward him. He hastily waved his hand.

    ¡°Run now, or we won¡¯t even know how we died!¡± Zhou Hao started the engine.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li went in the hover car. She followed him into the car without changing back her appearance.

    Although Qin Feng was able to lure the Emperor Knight down the foothills and caused amotion while he was at it, it was still a good move given the whole situation. It was now up to the E-tier aptitude users to do their jobs.

    The battle started from three in the morning and was still ongoing at the break of dawn. The encampment they had set up had been reduced into rubble.

    ¡°Listen, it¡¯s quiet now!¡±

    ¡°Have they finished the fight?¡±

    ¡°How does it look ahead?¡±

    They were anxious to know.

    Qin Feng was still taking a wink in his hover car. Although his power had increased overnight, he would never forget to train. Now that there were no more ancient warriors for him to hunt down, he was working hard on his internal qigong to prevent his internal forces from dropping.

    At that moment, there was a knocking from his car window.

    ¡°Qin Feng,e out for a while!¡± There was a hint of joy in Zhou Hao¡¯s voice.

    Qin Feng did not know what had happened but he still opened the door.

    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±

    ¡°Haha, look, I¡¯ve gathered our party members!¡±

    Qin Feng noticed that there were people around Zhou Hao. It was Li Yaoyao and Lu Meng.

    Not only that, there was a G-tier symbol in front of Lu Meng¡¯s chest. She had also be an aptitude user.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re finally here!¡± Lu Meng was overjoyed. ¡°Yaoyao said that she saw you in campusst time. We haven¡¯t seen you for the past few days!¡±

    ¡°Mengmeng!¡± Li Yaoyao shyly nudged Lu Meng. Although she had good feelings toward Qin Feng, she was still a reserved girl.

    ¡°I don¡¯t really go for sses.¡± Qin Feng answered calmly.

    ¡°I guess with your abilities, you won¡¯t even need to attend sses. Even your friend is now a G-tier aptitude user!¡± said Lu Meng. She nced at Zhou Hao with a tinge of jealousy.

    This little man was a year younger than her, he was even her junior, yet he was already a certified G-tier aptitude user.

    Indeed, she had spent a considerable amount of money to get all the help she needed to kill two hundred ultra beasts to be a certified G-tier aptitude user.

    Zhou Hao was a little unhappy. ¡°I went through the G-tier test on my own. Who knows how many ultra beasts I¡¯ve killed!¡±

    ¡°Are you saying I was cheating? Junior, are you still thinking about hanging around in our school? Don¡¯t you know how great Big Sis Mengmeng is in the school?¡± Lu Meng chided with both hands on her waist.

    Zhou Hao almost broke intoughter. He was one point eight meters tall, and Lu Meng was about one point five. Her height was only up to his chest, how could she call herself Big Sis Mengmeng?

    They were about to get into an argument when Qin Feng interrupted them. ¡°Have they finished the fight? What¡¯s the oue?¡±

    Both of them stopped quarrelling after Qin Feng¡¯s interjection. Finally, Li Yaoyao had a chance to join in on the conversation.

    ¡°They¡¯re done fighting, the E-tier fighters have made the Emperor Knight retreat!¡±

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows. ¡°They didn¡¯t kill it?¡±

    ¡°How could they! That knight has a shield that is probably equivalent to a golden runic gear. It could even block out Dean Dengnian¡¯s light projectiles. It was like a group of people beating up a tortoise.¡±

    Qin Feng was speechless when he heard this.

    These people were trash!

    The Emperor Knight¡¯s main battle skill was his defenses. Qin Feng was immediately reminded of the Starsteel Spear that had been stored away by Xiao Bai.

    How he wished to have that gun for his own.

    ¡°Qin Feng, why don¡¯t you join us for the day!¡± Li Yaoyao proposed.

    Qin Feng¡¯s thought was interrupted, yet he shrugged decisively.

    ¡°Did they change the battle ns today?¡± he asked.

    Too many F-tiered zombies had appearedst night, as well as the Ghoul Assassins and Burning Ghouls. Qin Feng felt that if he were to continue to conceal his real powers, there would be no end to the killing.

    If they were not killed offpletely, the dark runes on their bodies would spread uncontrobly.

    The day was already bright. They could see the dark clouds gathering on top of the Zimu Mountains. It seemed to be spreading wider.

    They could still afford to wait but not the frail children in the orphanage.

    ¡°They haven¡¯t updated it!¡± said Zhou Hao.

    As soon as he finished speaking, they saw a drone turn back. All of theirmunicators beeped in unison shortly after that.

    The map had been updated.

    Qin Feng looked at their faces. Their expressions were grim.

    As expected, a bigger threat had appeared!

    After the spatial rift had been opened upst night, approximately two thousand F-tier zombies managed to slip in while they were fighting the Emperor Knight. Their original camp was destroyed and had to be moved further back!

    ¡°Zhou Hao, you should join them today. I¡¯ll be heading to Zone F!¡± said Qin Feng.

    ¡°Umm, alright!¡± Zhou Hao nodded. He was aware of Qin Feng¡¯s true power. He must have his own reason for being confident about going to Zone F.

    However, that confidence he had was not enough to persuade Li Yaoyao and Lu Meng.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re going to Zone F? It¡¯s too dangerous out there!¡± Li Yaoyao tried to talk him out of going. Even if Qin Feng were powerful, there was now way he could be that great.

    Lu Meng was obviously skeptical as well.

    ¡°Qin Feng, do you really n on going? Maybe I can give you aser cannon or something!¡± said Lu Meng.

    Qin Feng smiled gently.

    ¡°Thanks, but that won¡¯t be necessary!¡± Qin Feng knocked on the car door. ¡°Xiao... Li,e out now!¡±

    Bai Li did not turn back to her own selfst night, and Li Yaoyao had only seen her in her fox form. She knew that it was called Xiao Bai, so Qin Feng had to change his way of addressing her as caution.

    Pa-tak! The hover car door opened up. A long-haired girl walked out from the car.

    The girl had long, silky smooth hair that glittered in a silvery hue. Her face was refined and petite, about the size of a palm. Her foxy eyes could hook a soul, yet they carried a hint of innocence. She had a tiny nose. Her cherry-red lips were supple.

    She was wearing a colorful bohemian dress and a sunhat. She looked more like a tourist than someone who was going to war.

    As soon as she stepped out of the car, she locked onto Qin Feng. She greeted him with a smile.

    ¡°Hubby, do you think I look good in this dress?¡±

    Qin Feng turned stiff. At this moment, he regretted ying the prank on her yesterday.

    Zhou Hao looked at Qin Feng in disbelief. His eyes were filled with usations. ¡°Madman, you animal! How could you do this to Xiao Bai.¡±

    Li Yaoyao and Lu Meng were both in shock as well.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng quickly grabbed her and took her away.

    He could not care less about how other people looked at him, but Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes made him flustered and red in the face.

    He felt guilty, like a man who had kidnapped a young girl!

    To think about it, Xiao Bai was only born about a month ago, she was technically still a baby!

    ¡°Come on!¡± Bai Li went to Qin Feng¡¯s side. She puckered her lips in protest. ¡°My shoes are ufortable, why don¡¯t you carry me!¡±

    Qin Feng was helpless. He had always carried her on his shoulder so she did not walk much, and she had bezier. She knew that she was going to the battlefield but she was not allowed to fight. She would rather Qin Feng carry her.

    ¡°Come on!¡± Qin Feng had to squat down. Bai Li wrapped her hands around Qin Feng¡¯s neck before he carried her into the wilderness.

    At this moment, Qin Feng had already attracted quite a crowd, especially since he was carrying a beautiful youngdy around.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Li Yaoyao went ahead to chase after him but he was too fast. He appeared to be using his internal force. Li, as a water-elemental aptitude user, was unable to catch up to him.

    For a moment, there was a sense of jealousy within Li Yaoyao¡¯s disappointment. She was in a bad mood.

    She had no ce to vent her frustrations and saw Zhou Hao, who was still looking at Qin Feng. His face was filled with disapproval. She could not help but chided, ¡°Junior Zhou, are you just going to leave him be? It¡¯s dangerous enough for him to go into the wilderness, but to take a girl along with him, don¡¯t you think it would be more dangerous?¡±

    Zhou Hao waved his hands hastily. ¡°They¡¯re not in danger!¡±

    She was a powerful beast king! She could take away the bat king¡¯s Bloodcatarrh Fruit single-handedly. That was how powerful she was.

    Li Yaoyao protested,¡± Look at how she is dressed. The girl probably doesn¡¯t know how to battle. Wouldn¡¯t she just tie Qin Feng down?¡±

    Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes went nk. Now, he realized that Li Yaoyao was not concerned about Bai Li. She was more concerned about Qin Feng.

    ¡°Why do I smell jealousy?¡±

    Lu Meng elbowed Zhou Hao in the gut. ¡°Watch your mouth, Junior Zhou. Don¡¯t say anything that you¡¯re not supposed to!¡±

    Lu Meng gave Zhou Hao a warning look.

    Li Yaoyao felt embarrassed. Her eyes went red for a moment.

    Right at this time, a person approached them and saw Li Yaoyao and Lu Meng.

    ¡°We¡¯re going to restructure our teams soon. I heard that your previous team got disbanded, why don¡¯t you join us?¡± A gentle voice sounded.

    Their eyes lit up when they looked at the approaching man.

    He was a six-footer that did not appear to be exceptionally strong but he was gentle and elegant. A pair of gold-framed spectacles made him look schrly.

    ¡°Senior Gao! I... I can?¡± Li Yaoyao was nervous.

    The man in front of them was the male idol of Chengbei University. He was the most powerful one amongst the Year 3 students, Gao Lingfeng.

    He was a wind-elemental aptitude user with astounding capabilities. Although he was still studying in the campus, it was said that his abilities had reached F-tier. If he were to agree to it he might be a teacher there.

    ¡°Of course, that¡¯s why we¡¯re here!¡± Gao Lingfeng revealed a gentle smile.

    Li Yaoyao was very excited.

    Gao Lingfeng possessed very powerful capabilities. If she were to fight alongside him, she would surely reap a high reward, be it in the loots or her contribution to the battle.

    ¡°But...¡± Li Yaoyao nced at Lu Meng beside her.

    The teams were formed by grouping the students ording to their years so that they could look out for each other in the wilderness. At first, Li Yaoyao and Lu Meng were on the same team as Wang Kai, Jiang Wenxuan, and Yuhai.

    But a month ago, the five-man team disbanded after they had encountered some trouble in the wilderness.

    Now that there was a new mission assignment, Lu Meng would be left alone if Li Yaoyao were to quit the party.

    ¡°Yaoyao, what are you still waiting for, go now! It¡¯s a great opportunity and you¡¯d regret it if you don¡¯t join!¡± Lu Meng immediately whispered. Gao Lingfeng could actually hear her. There was still a gentle smile on the corner of his lips, but his eyes had traces of a scheming mind.

    ¡°Lu Meng can alsoe with us!¡±

    She quickly waved her hands. ¡°Oh no, I¡¯ve still got matters to attend to. You guys better get moving!¡±

    Gao Lingfeng¡¯s smile turned stiff.

    ¡°Alright then, you be careful now, Mengmeng.¡± Li Yaoyao made up her mind and went toward Gao Lingfeng.

    She epted Gao¡¯s invitation because she herself was rejected by Qin Feng. Li Yaoyao felt a smug release now that Gao Lingfeng came to invite her personally.

    ¡°Hmph, that ungrateful Qin Feng, I¡¯ll ignore him from now on!¡±

    There were words hanging by Gao¡¯s lips, but after seeing Li Yaoyao¡¯s expression and Lu Meng¡¯s ¡®go for it!¡¯ hand gesture, he gave up inviting her again and left with Li Yaoyao.

    Only Lu Meng and Zhou Hao were left.

    ¡°Junior Zhou, why don¡¯t youe with me. I¡¯ll protect you! Or the zombies will surely eat up your tiny frame!¡± Lu Meng boasted.

    Zhou Hao was speechless. ¡°I wonder who they will really eat up! Forget it, since you¡¯re pretty cute, I¡¯ll lend you a hand!¡±

    Zhou Hao did not know anyone else so he formed a group with Lu Meng.

    Qin Feng had no idea what happened as he had brought Bai Li away from the gaze of the crowd and had once again stepped into the battlefield.

    The dead trees provided cover for them to vanish from the eyes of the public.

    Amidst the great mountains, the tiny human beings appeared non-existent

    ¡°As expected, there are more of them today!¡±

    As Qin Feng sensed the increased presence of the F-tier zombies, he became enraged.

    ¡°Kill!¡± There was no hesitation in him. He started to y away.

    He soon killed all the zombies that were surrounding him.

    Bai Li was wielding a dagger. With reluctance, she collected the energy cores from the zombies¡¯ head and ced them in abat backpack.

    Qin Feng ughtered away and was able to finish off all the F-tier zombies in the surrounding area in just one hour.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go deeper!¡±

    He did not feel tired since he had the absorption skill. He could sustain inbat longer than anyone else. Even though the zombies provided very minimal energy, it was enough for him to recover!

    However, as he went closer to the mother mountain, the Corpse Corps became even more menacing.

    Suddenly, a person in ck robe came into sight.

    He was taken aback and quickly hid behind arge, dead tree.

    ¡®Is that the Dark-Robed Ripper?¡¯ A thought shed across Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    However, he did not sense the aura of a beast king. He did not even sense danger.

    He carefully observed the situation once again. He noticed that although this dark-robed entity was strong, its surrounding aura was only at the level of a beast general.

    ¡°Hang on, could it be the Dark-Robed Ripper¡¯s assistant?¡±

    When Qin Feng first arrived at the encampment, he saw the Dark-Robed Ripper channeling dark energy pirs. There were eight other energy pirs that were supplementing it that made the spatial passage twice its size!

    But on the other night, only five dark pirs appeared. It was either because these dark-robed entities needed to recuperate or they were finished off by an E-tier gunner.

    The Corpse Corps obviously needed no rest, so the second scenario was the only possibility.

    ¡®That means that these dark-robed entities are not as strong as we thought!¡¯

    Strong or not, Qin Feng decided to test it out.

    He started to approach the dark-robed entity silently.

    ¡°Shadow Cloaking!¡±

    Qin Feng melded into the shadows and quickly reached behind the dark-robed entity.

    They were only ten meters apart.

    Suddenly, the dark-robed entity turned around.

    Its hood was facing Qin Feng. Qin Feng could immediately witness a horrific scene.

    It was actually a ck skeleton underneath the dark robe. Within the eye sockets of the skull were a pair of eyes lit up in emerald me.

    Luckily, Qin Feng was unfazed. When he saw that the dark-robed skeleton had seen him, he charged ahead without hesitation.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand made a perfect arc.

    At that moment, the dark-robed skeleton raised its finger andunched a dark beam at Qin Feng.

    Bzzt!

    The beamnded on Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    He could clearly sense that it was an ability that belonged to the dark runes. Its ability was to lower the body¡¯s vitality and make them feel weak. From there, illness woulde in, followed by death.

    However, Qin Feng had the dark stone that made him immune to any dark abilities. His enemy¡¯s ability had no effect on him.

    ng!

    His Verdant Emperor Sabernded on the skeleton¡¯s neck, producing a metallic ng.

    The dark-robed skeleton realized that its dark abilities were useless against Qin Feng. It reached out its skeleton hands and wanted to grab Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng dodged to the side. He had quite a scare when he saw the darkened finger brushing past his side.

    That finger was infectious. Those who were scratched by it would turn into a zombie.

    ¡°Another sh!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his saber once again and started to sh at his enemy endlessly.

    ¡°The Verdant Emperor Saber can¡¯t cut its skull!¡±

    Qin Feng was agitated. Even though it was a good weapon, it was still made using F-tier materials. The weapon could no longer keep up with him.

    Bzzt!

    Another beam shot out from the dark-robed skeleton¡¯s finger. Qin Feng evaded it and the dark beam hit the dead tree behind him.

    Poof!

    Therge, dead tree instantly turned into ashes.

    Qin Feng was shaken but he did not show it on his face. He raised his hand as well.

    ¡°Do you think you¡¯re the only one who knows how to use abilities?¡±

    Triggering his consciousness, thousands of me runes emerged on top of the ming starglobe right next to the diamond starglobe.

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    mes were hurled out from Qin Feng¡¯s hand, hitting the dark-robed entity.

    It was like an oil barrel had been ignited, erupting into a fiery explosion. The skeleton¡¯s robe burnt furiously.

    ¡°Arghhh!¡± The dark-robed skeleton wailed in agony. The soul fire within its skull pulsated frantically, demonstrating its pain.

    The zombies were afraid of light. They were also afraid of fire as well!

    Especially Qin Feng¡¯s me that carried dark runes. It could also burn away soul energy. Even the dark-robed skeleton was not spared.

    Qin Feng seized the chance andunched multiple attacks.

    Ka-chak!

    Finally, the dark-robed skeleton¡¯s neck was severed. The skeleton copsed in scattered pieces.

    At this moment, Qin Feng could clearly sense that his absorption ability was throbbing. Immediately after that, the soul fire within the eye sockets of the skull that had not quite vanishedpletely was forcefully pulled out. It turned into an energy that melded into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Qin Feng could feel that his consciousness was rapidly increasing!

    ¡°Killing the dark-robed skeleton had actually increased my consciousness level?¡±

    Not only that, the increase in consciousness was no lower than the time he killed He Li.

    He could also sense the increase in his level of consciousness. When he absorbed He Li¡¯s consciousness, his consciousness level was at G5. But now, his consciousness level had increased tremendously to about G7.

    ¡°What a wishe true!¡± Qin Feng smiled joyfully. After collecting the spoils of war, he once again went in search of dark-robed skeletons.

    While Qin Feng was ughtering away here, in Chengyang city where the aptitude users of the five great areas hade together, some of the most powerful people in Chengbei colony were gathered inside an armored car.

    The armored car was like a trailer. There was a room inside. There were screens hanging on the wall and the images on the disys kept changing.

    They were images from the recon drones.

    Other than the guards, there were four other people who were all E-tier aptitude users.

    E-tier light elemental ability user, the Dean of Chengbei University¡ªDeng Nian.

    E-tier ancient warrior, Deputy Mayor of Chengbei Colony¡ªLin Zheng.

    E-tier gunner, Commander of Chengbei Colony garrison troop¡ªHan Jian.

    E-tier beastmaster, Commander of the Wilderness Rangers of Chengbei Colony¡ªYang Sanhu.

    Each of these four people could stomp their feet and the whole of Chengbei Colony would feel the quake.

    But now, all four of them were troubled.

    ¡°It¡¯s looking bad!¡± Yang Sanhu said in a low voice as he nced at the disy. He spent most of his time in the wilderness. The mortality rate of the rangers was always on the rise but that had also trained his fiery pair of eyes.

    Just one nce and he could assess that they were in a dire situation.

    But then again, if the situation was great, they would not be sent here.

    The battle that had waged onst night as well as the spatial passage that was opened up for quite some time had resulted in therge increase of the Corpse Corps. Chengyang city once again requested for reinforcements from therge colonies.

    Even themanders of the garrison army and the wilderness rangers had been moved to the frontlines.

    There were now at least sixteen E-tier aptitude users in the frontlines.

    ¡°I¡¯ve be old!¡± Deng Nian sighed.

    Last night was a rare chance. How could he let the Emperor Knight escape!

    It really left Deng Nian in distraught.

    ¡°Hmph, what a useless bunch of people!¡± Lin Zheng eximed in a grim manner. The colonies were disunited. They were afraid of getting injured and their teamwork wascking.

    It was the reason why their n to surround the Emperor Knight had failed.

    Not only that, Lin Zheng was wounded.

    It was really enraging.

    Beep beep beep!

    There was a beep from the device. A map had been refreshed.

    ¡°Huh!¡±

    Yang Sanhu turned his head and looked at the map with furrowed brows.

    ¡°Show me the same map from three hours ago!¡± Yang Sanhu said.

    The operator immediately opened up the map from three hours ago. There were obviously more red blipspared to the one now.

    Especially in a certain area.

    ¡°There are two hundred less F-tier zombies. Did an army go in for the kill?¡± Yang Sanhu asked in confusion. Two hundred zombies were not that many, but it was odd for two hundred zombies to suddenly disappear from one ce. Moreover, they were F-tier zombies.

    There were also a bunch of G-tier zombies in the surroundings. It would be difficult to suddenly barge into the Zimu Mountains.

    ¡°Get the drones to feed images from this area!¡± ordered Yang Sanhu.

    After that, the drone circled around and was able to pinpoint Qin Feng who was still inbat.

    ***

    Behind the Dazi Mountain, Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Sabber was like the scythe of a Grim Reaper, harvesting the lives of his enemies.

    ¡°The third one!¡±

    ¡°Die!!!¡±

    As he shed away with his saber, the third dark-robed skeleton had perished in Qin Feng¡¯s hands.

    Its consciousness melded into Qin Feng¡¯s body rapidly. His power was increasing by leaps and bounds.

    At this moment, Qin Feng could feel everything around him with great rity. His consciousness had permeated hundreds of meters and he could ¡®see¡¯ everything around him clearly.

    Not only that, the elemental core of the diamond starglobe was revolving endlessly. The brilliant elemental particles within it started to vibrate before turning into a whole new form.

    A newbination that was previously unknown and could not be understood had turned into a whole new ability!

    ¡°Dark beam!¡±

    The new ability that Qin Feng had learnt was the same ability that the dark-robed entity had used against him.

    It was probably because the dark-robed entities had used this ability multiple times against him. His body and consciousness were able to recall this ability.

    However, the ability was not too helpful given his situation.

    Qin Feng was immune to the dark beam but at the same time, the Corpse Corps that were made up of zombies were also immune to it.

    ¡°Perhaps, can this ability be changed into a fire ability?¡±

    As he thought about this, he started to recollect his consciousness. He was able to quite fortunately discover a fire version of this ability in the fire elemental core.

    This meant that Qin Feng now possessed another fire ability, the fire beam!

    As Qin Feng became excited of the prospect of testing it out, he sensed something from his consciousness. He unwittingly looked up and saw the unmanned drone flying above him.

    He frowned at the sight of the drone.

    His strong consciousness meant that he was able to discern that the unmanned drone was pointed at him. Not only that, the drone was taking only images of him even though it was circling the area.

    Did he cause a ruckus by killing too many enemies?

    Still, Qin Feng had no intention of hiding his kills. He was also recording his own kills that could be used to exchange for rewards.

    However, it was probably best for him not to reveal any abilities!

    Qin Feng ignored the drone and set forth once again in search of the dark-robed skeletons within the Corpse Corps.

    Within themanding car, Yang Sanhu and the others had turned their attentionpletely to Qin Feng.

    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± Han Jian called out unexpectedly.

    ¡°You know this guy? Who is he? From which colony?¡± Yang Sanhu quickly asked.

    The ability that Qin Feng had demonstrated was really startling.

    Even an F-tier mercenary squad had to hunt in packs. They also had to be cautious while moving so that they would not be surrounded by the zombies.

    In a stark contrast, Qin Feng was strutting away as if he wanted the zombies toe for him!

    ¡°He¡¯s from our Chengbei Colony, but he should not be this powerful. With his capabilities, he should be at least an F-tier by now, but...¡± Han Jian was hesitant to continue.

    The rest of the people had actually turned their attention to him.

    ¡°But what?¡± asked Yang Sanhu.

    Han Jian shrugged. He could not believe it himself.

    ¡°This person is called Qin Feng. He¡¯s sixteen years old this year. He has just been injected with the awakening serum recently. A fortnight ago he made some huge achievements in the ntations!¡±

    ¡°Only sixteen?¡± Yang Sanhu was shocked.

    Even Deng Nian¡¯s and Lin Zheng¡¯s hearts skipped a beat.

    Youth meant potential!

    It would be great if they could get someone like him under them.

    Of course there were disadvantages as well. Someone with his potential could be a threat.

    ¡°You¡¯re saying that this person is called Qin Feng?¡± Lin Zheng furrowed his brows. He felt that the name sounded familiar.

    Deng Nian, too, was surprised.

    He had seen the student¡¯s name list this year, and of course he had special care toward the ability users. There were only twenty names on the list. As an E-tier ability user, Deng Nian had astounding consciousness. His memory was almost photographic. He recalled that there was really someone named Qin Feng in the new ability user ss.

    Could it be a coincidence?

    Han Jian who was now looking at the monitors let out a sigh.

    ¡°That should be him. It really is him. Who knew that he would have so much growth in such a short period of time. Wang Cheng and I previously tried to recruit him into the garrison and the Tiger me Troop but he rejected us. Said he wanted to enrol in Chengbei University. Old Deng, is this true? Don¡¯t keep this a secret now!¡±

    Deng Nianughed at his words.

    ¡°Should be, he¡¯s a student in our ability user ss!¡±

    For a moment there, Deng Nian was proud.

    After all, such a high-potential student was hard toe by. Moreover, he had rejected the other twomanders and enlisted himself in the university instead. That made him exceptionally delighted.

    ¡°What a great seedling!¡± Deng Nian eximed. The more he saw the more satisfied he became.

    On the other hand, Lin Zheng¡¯s expression was grim. There was viciousness in his eyes.

    He finally recalled who this Qin Feng was!

    A few days ago, Jiang Shaoyang had mysteriously disappeared after pursuing a dark martial artist. Lin Zheng¡¯s Eagle Clubhouse was even investigated as a result. That made him suffer quite a huge loss.

    Was that dark martial artist not Qin Feng? Even the descriptions matched.

    ¡®Previously, I never would¡¯ve guessed that this was the person who had killed Jiang Shaoyang. Now that I see it, how could it be impossible. He¡¯s really got the capability of an F-tier!¡¯

    Engrossed in his thoughts, Lin Zheng could not wait to finish Qin Feng off!

    However, there were too many people there, and Qin Feng was gaining attention. To kill him now would obviously be impractical. Old man Dengnian was now considered Qin Feng¡¯s ally.

    Lin Zheng had to put his thoughts on hold.

    ***

    Qin Feng did not realize that someone was plotting to murder him. He had been killing zombies until his hands were numb.

    A day¡¯s worth of work only turned up to be about five hundred dead zombies. For the zombies¡¯ poption that had multiplied by two, his effort was only enough to slow them down. Unless the Dark-Robed Ripper was unable to open up the spatial passage again.

    But then again, that was only an unreasonable hope of the human beings.

    When evening came, the dark-robed entities once again stood on top of the mountain peak and opened up the spatial passage.

    Nobody knew what would happen when the rift was opened. Therefore, Qin Feng did not stay around to find out.

    Since there were more reinforcementsing into Chengyang city, the Dark-Robed Ripper was forced to close down the spatial passage after being encircled by the E-tier elites. The number of Corpse Corps that was released was not that much.

    As night fell, Qin Feng no longer did anything that would attract the attention of others. He went back to base.

    They were tallying up the results of the battle in the middle of the newly established base.

    First ce: Zhao Yu Xin (Team), Results: 1238 points, umted Total: 5189

    Second ce: Hou Rui (Team), Results: 1134 points, umted Total: 4811

    Third ce: Gao Lingfeng (Team), Results: 1089 points, umted Total: 4790

    Fourth ce: ...

    Interestingly enough, these hall of famers were the pride and joy of the universities. They were teams made up of young prodigies.

    ¡°Today we¡¯ve earned more than a thousand points in contribution. Yang Zhaofa gets two hundred while the rest of the team members get a hundred. Any disputes?¡± asked Gao Lingfeng.

    Yang Zhaofa was the team¡¯s ancient warrior. His battle skill was only second to Gao Lingfeng. No one would disagree if he were to get more points.

    ¡°None!¡±

    ¡°None!¡±

    ¡°Senior, there¡¯s no need to give me points. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve contributed much!¡± Li Yaoyao was a bit embarrassed.

    ¡°Why not, your water-elemental healing ability was pretty useful, else I wouldn¡¯t be able to sustain such a longbat today!¡± Yang interjected.

    Although Li Yaoyao was not the strongest among the Year 2 students, she specialized in healing abilities. That was why Gao Lingfeng decided to pull her in.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, do you want your senior to go back on his words?¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to, Senior!¡± Li Yaoyao was slightly abashed. She could not reject Gao.

    Later on, they exchanged some items with their battle points. Li Yaoyao exchanged her points for a water-elemental ability core that could not only absorb runes with machinery, but it could also be used to refresh her skills in critical moments.

    A hundred points equaled to ten thousand coins. Including the bonus division from the energy cores, Li Yaoyao had earned almost three hundred thousand coins. This made her overjoyed.

    At this moment, however, she saw Qin Feng in the crowd from a distance.

    Or more urately, Bai Li was too distinctive. Even if she were to wear a brown-colored shade, people would still ogle at her to scale her beauty.

    Qin Feng slightly furrowed his brows and hurriedly led Xiao Bai through the crowd.

    ¡°I¡¯m so hungry!¡± Bai Li tugged on Qin Feng¡¯s arm and slumped fraily on him.

    ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll give you some of those energy cores tomorrow!¡± Qin Feng consoled her.

    Bai Li answered with reluctance. ¡°I don¡¯t want those, they¡¯re not delicious!¡±

    Bai Li was behaving more like a human being now. She was not that picky when she was still a cub.

    ¡°I¡¯ll buy you a beast king coreter!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Qin Feng smiled in a spoiling manner.

    The two¡¯s intimate interaction made Li Yaoyao gloomy.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    Li Yaoyao shouted.

    Qin Feng only noticed her then. He then looked at her surroundings and incidentally saw Gao Lingfeng as well.

    This young man was an F-tier as well. Looks like he was a prodigy.

    ¡°Senior!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded in a polite and distant manner!

    No one could guess what Li Yaoyao was thinking from her expression. Somehow, she felt like giving Qin Feng a lesson so that he would not be so haughty.

    ¡°Qin Feng, let me introduce you to him, this is our Year 3 senior, our number one guy from Chengbei University, Senior Gao Lingfeng!¡± said Li Yaoyao.

    Gao smiled coldly for a while before saying, ¡°Don¡¯t say that, what number one guy, those are merely other people¡¯s words!¡±

    ¡°Come on, you are the most powerful person in our school! You¡¯ve always gotten the first ce in any test, nothing is too difficult for you!¡± Li Yaoyao said admiringly.

    Gao Lingfeng smiled lightly. He then looked at Qin Feng.

    ¡°If you need any help, you can always look for me!¡± said Gao Lingfeng.

    Qin Feng took a nce at Gao. He nodded. ¡°Yes, Senior!¡±

    Gao Lingfeng was just being modest, and Qin Feng merely followed suit. He would never look for his help.

    At that moment, Gao Lingfeng set his sights upon Bai Li and asked curiously. ¡°Is she a Year 1 student from our school?¡±

    Seeing them mentioning her, Bai Li remembered Qin Feng¡¯s orderst time and said in a natural manner,¡± I am Qin Feng¡¯s girlfriend, he is my boyfriend!¡±

    Gao Lingfeng¡¯s warm and gentle demeanor turned stiff.

    Li Yaoyao¡¯s heart was filled with contempt.

    ¡°Wow, you sure have a great rtionship with your girlfriend, bringing her to battle ultra beasts like that!¡± Gao was being slightly sarcastic.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright!¡± Qin Feng was not nning on wasting any more time. The sky had turned dark, more and more people were queuing up to assess their battle scores.

    ¡°Seniors, I¡¯ll go get assessed first, please carry on!¡±

    Qin Feng did not wait for a reply before heading to the assessment area.

    Somehow, Li Yaoyao and Gao Lingfeng lingered there.

    After handing in his recording, the assessment waspleted in less than one minute.

    ¡°Beep! Beep! Assessmentplete. Your current battle point is: 5671 points!¡±

    In the open battle this time around, one G-tier zombie would 1 point, an F-tier would 10 points. There were higher scores for beast soldiers and generals. It waspletely normal for Qin Feng to earn five to six thousand points a day.

    Instantly, Qin Feng became the number one person on the leaderboard.

    Leaderboard, First ce: Qin Feng (Individual), Results: 5671 points, umted Total: 5671.

    In the blink of an eye, the people who were watching the leaderboard called out in disbelief.

    ¡°Qin Feng, who is Qin Feng?¡±

    ¡°An individual with five thousand over battle points, how is that possible?¡±

    ¡°His umted total is over five thousand points, did he onlye today? So many points in just one day?¡±

    ¡°Is he some powerful guy from other regions? He must be at least an E-tier!¡±

    The crowd was buzzing. Gao Lingfeng and Li Yaoyao naturally heard them all. Their expressions changed.

    They were both in disbelief.

    Qin Feng left the assessment area and was headed for the point exchange area.

    Li Yaoyao looked at Qin Feng in a puzzled manner as she called after him.

    ¡°Qin Feng, how many battle points did you receive in the assessment just now?¡±

    Li Yaoyao was praying in her heart that it was not an individual effort, that the name just now was merely a coincidence.

    Li Yaoyao could not believe it. No matter how strong Qin Feng was, it would be impossible for him to obtain five thousand battle points. How many ghouls did you have to kill to get that?

    ¡°About five thousand over!¡± Qin Feng answered naturally.

    At this moment, Gao Lingfeng¡¯s expressions became dejected.

    ¡°Junior, did you use any illegal means to cheat the system? You¡¯ve just entered the university, you shouldn¡¯t do something like that to gain these trivial profits. You¡¯re doing a disservice to our Chengbei University!¡±

    If it were others, Gao would have believed it.

    But who was Qin Feng? He was just a new year one student who brought his beautiful girlfriend out in the battle. It was impossible to get such a result. They were probably having a good time in ces where there were no ultra beasts.

    There must be a mistake with the system.

    Qin Feng frowned for a moment. Everyone around them was looking at Qin Feng. They¡¯ve also heard their conversations. They knew the person in the leaderboard was him.

    But Qin Feng¡¯s youthful face and his G-tier badge made them doubtful.

    How could he have killed so many ultra beasts?

    After a brief moment, the crowd started pointing fingers at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng frowned even more. It was the familiar situation during the rat infestation in the ntations as well.

    Some of them could not ept the facts. The impact was too shocking.

    But that¡¯s the point of Qin Feng: to give them a good shock.

    Before Qin Feng could exin himself, amotion erupted among the crowds. The people started to make way as if an important guest had appeared.

    After the crowd had made way, Dengnian and Han Jian walked in front. There were guards all around them who were controlling the guards to ensure nothing stands in their paath.

    Dengnian walked toward Qin Feng. Li Yaoyao and Gao Lingfeng had also noticed his presence.

    ¡°Principal!¡±

    ¡°Principal!¡±

    The two of them hurriedly greeted him.

    Qin Feng was contemting whether to greet him as well since he was now a student of the university.

    But before he could speak, Dengnian had revealed a gentle smile. He gave Qin Feng a pat on the back.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯ve done well making a name for the university!¡± Dengnian was impressed with Qin Feng.

    Hearing this, a streak of lightning ran across Qin Feng¡¯s mind. He remembered the unmanned drone that was circling above.

    Maybe he had found out during then!

    Of course, ying away like that, how could they not see it!

    Qin Feng did not try to hide. ¡°It¡¯s my duty!¡±

    ¡°Haha, good!¡± Dengnianughed crackingly.

    By now, Han Jian had alsoe forward. There were smiles in his expressions.

    ¡°Qin Feng, do you remember me?¡±

    Of course Qin Feng would never forget him.

    ¡°General Han!¡± Qin Feng nodded at him.

    ¡°Hehe, with your aplishments, you could be a lieutenant general. What are you doing in school? Join the reserve army!¡± Once again, Han Jian attempted to recruit him.

    ¡°Old Han, how could you? Taking away my men in front of me!¡±

    ¡°Haha, that still depends on Qin Feng¡¯s will!¡±

    That was a huge temptation, did you know what bing a lieutenant general means?

    Within the whole of Chengbei Colony, even Xue Xingfu, He Li, and Jiang Shaoyang, who was an official with the Eagle Club couldn¡¯te close to his position. He would only be second to Han Jian.

    But Qin Feng had the strength to carry that role. He was no longer the helpless young man who had just been reborned. He was slowly turning back into the king of mercenaries of his past life. Only his true powers had yet to recover.

    However, the role wasn¡¯t attractive enough to Qin Feng.

    ¡°I still prefer to study properly, thank you for your good intentions!¡±

    ¡°What a pity!¡± Han Jian was disappointed once again. Still, he continued,¡± We¡¯ll do it this way then, you¡¯re still young, perhaps the role might not be fitting for you. I¡¯m sure you could at least be an Honorary Captain then? You¡¯ll have the authority, but there¡¯s no need for you to work. Just help out when the timees, how about that?¡±

    Qin Feng couldn¡¯t reject his offer.

    An Honorary Captain, to put it bluntly was a non-job that came with all the benefits.

    With an identity like that, his status in the Chengbei Colony would increase tremendously. He would no longer be just an ordinary student.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng could sense something. He raised his head and looked into the distance. He saw a shadow standing by the windows of a huge car.

    The figure had a strong presence. His face was a little grim, as if he was very unhappy. There was something very bureaucratic about him.

    ¡®Lin Zeng!¡¯ The name immediately appeared within his mind.

    He was looking at him with irk. There was even killing intent in his eyes.

    ¡®Han Jian and Dengnian had seen me in action today, surely Lin Zeng did as well. Maybe he¡¯s already suspecting me?¡¯

    It was just a thought. Since Lin Zeng was standing in Dengnian¡¯s direction, Dengnian thought that Qin Feng was looking at him and seeking his advice. Dengnian felt proud and said smilingly.¡± Qin Feng, with great poweres great responsibility. Please do not let General Han Jian¡¯s good intention go down the drain. Please, be the Honorary Captain!¡±

    After hearing that, he turned his vision away from Lin Zeng as if he didn¡¯t even know he was there in the distance. He looked toward Han Jian.

    ¡°If you insist, then I shall not disobey you!¡±

    ¡°Haha, good, good! Come, your Captain¡¯s badge will be sent here soon, let¡¯s discuss this in another ce!¡±

    Qin Feng, Dengnian, and Han Jian walked toward another car. They were obviously going to discuss it there.

    Outside the assessment area, only a watchful crowd remained.

    ¡°Looks like this Qin Feng is the real deal!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s too strong, scoring more than five thousand points. He probably wasn¡¯t killing G-tiered ghouls!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s gotta be at least an F-tier to be an Honorary Captain. Looks like we shouldn¡¯t underestimate this Qin Feng!¡±

    And now, Gao Lingfeng who was doubtful about Qin Feng had lost his gentle demeanor for the first time. His face was red, he was ashamed and angry!

    Li Yaoyao too had a mixed expression. She wanted to teach Qin Feng a lesson before this. Now, he had taken a great leap instead. She was no match for her.

    They were both embarrassed before they could shame Qin Feng. The two of them had now held a grudge against Qin Feng.

    After a short chat with Dengnian and Han Jian, Qin Feng excused himself. They were busy people, after all. Qin Feng did not want Dengnian to teach him about the abilities anyway. Light and Darkness should have a distinct line. Qin Feng was ufortable even when standing near Dengnian.

    After he had left, Qin Feng went back to the battle point exchange station to see if there was anything good.

    He exchanged for some items that could be useful in emergencies that weren¡¯t always on the market, such as a Purple-Rune Tier gear that was made from Beast General material and a military-spec firearm that had a harrowing firepower.

    Qin Feng took a nce. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

    ¡°Chakra pills!¡±

 Chapter 94 - All-Rounder F2-Tier

    <h4>Chapter 94: All-Rounder F2-Tier</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Chakra Pills were a vital supplement an ancient warrior needed to enhance his or her internal force. The pill consisted of various precious ingredients and could greatly boost the user¡¯s strength after consumption. The internal power would further heighten once its nutrients had beenpletely assimted.

    Aside from aiding one¡¯s training, the pill could also be employed to restore vitality during a battle, though it was rather wasteful for the item to be used this way.

    That must be why Chakra Pill appeared on the list. Normally, this item could only be found in Chengyang City. It was rare to see Chakra Pill at Chengbei Colony since it could only be used by an ancient warrior of F-tier and higher.

    ¡°I would like to exchange for fifty Chakra Pills.¡± Qin Feng decisively used 5,000 points to redeem the pills.

    He did not use the remaining 600 points as the Chakra Pills were more than enough for him to endure theing days.

    Qin Feng then checked hismunicator and found that he had 140 million yuan in his ount.

    Among them, 50 million was from the ck card that once belonged to Jiang Shaoyang, another 50 million was the money found in the Spatial Rune also originally owned by Jiang Shaoyang (thanks to Xue Xingfu), 10 million bounty reward, and 30 million was earned from hunting down the bat beasts a few days ago.

    ¡°Let¡¯s get you these two,¡± Qin Feng said while pointing at themunicator.

    Bai Li had gotten a knack of using themunicator recently. They could check the new items posted online in real-time after connecting to the Wanzong Auction House.

    Normal F-tier energy cores usually cost only tens of thousands. However, Bai Lee only wanted cores from Beast Kings which would require a preposterous sum.

    Judging by the amount of effort they poured in to conquer the Emperor Knight this time, it was justifiable that the energy core of the beast king rank was priced so high due to its rarity and enormous potential.

    F5-tier King of Giant¡¯s core, price 53 million.

    F7-tier Broodmother¡¯s core, price 83.1 million.

    ¡°Sure! Thanks, dear!¡± Bai Li thanked him happily.

    Qin Feng raised his eyebrow. ¡°A simple thank you would not cut it.¡±

    Bai Li blinked as she did not understand what Qin Feng meant.

    Qin Feng was tempted to tease Bai Li more after meeting her pure and innocent eyes. His guilt was easily ovee by his rush of desire.

    ¡°Kiss me.¡± Qin Feng tapped his cheek with his finger.

    Bai Li immediately closed in. However, instead of kissing, it was more of a lick. The way a fox would express joy was no different from other canines.

    ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Qin Feng stopped her and realized it was not a good idea to tease Bai Li after all. She often overdid it. Nevertheless, the grin on his face showed that he was pleased and enjoyed the exchange.

    After he received the package from Wanzong, Qin Feng made his way back to the colony. There wasughtering from beside his and Zhou Hao¡¯s cars.

    ¡°Zhou Hao, get the barbeque wing cooked quickly. I am starving!¡±

    ¡°You already had five and I haven¡¯t eaten anything. What kind of stomach do you have in such a small body?¡±

    ¡°It is exactly because of my small body that I need to eat more so I can grow taller.¡±

    ¡°You are seventeen and way past puberty. Be done with false hopes.¡±

    ¡°Screw you. I am going to finish everything here today and leave nothing for you.¡±

    When Qin Feng walked over, he saw Lu Meng and Zhou Hao fighting over the chicken wings on top of a grill rack.

    ¡°That smells heavenly.¡± Qin Feng approached them.

    ¡°Come help me now you nut. We have a big eater over here.¡±

    Qin Feng was surprised by how the two got along so well this quickly but he asked nothing and promptly joined them.

    Bai Li was also attracted by the smell and crouched down. The food on top of the grill seemed to be more delicious than the energy core they had just purchased.

    These things were brought over by Zhou Hao. His car wasrger and he had installed a small fridge in the boot. Other than that, there were also a lot of life necessities, including the grill rack.

    While they were eating, Qin Feng finally understood how the two came together.

    Zhou Hao and Lu Meng had formed a team after Li Yaoyao ditched thetter for Gao Linhan.

    Lu Meng was impressed by Zhou Hao on the first day. They had both killed two hundred G-tier zombiesbined. The number of points gathered was no less than when she teamed up with Li Yaoyao.

    Qin Feng was d that Zhou Hao found himself a rich female partner. This way, his buddy would face less risk in the wild.

    The dinnersted for an hour. Bai Li had also eaten a lot of chicken wings. She could have eaten ten more kilos if they had not run out of meat. Yet, Bai Li was still satisfied with the delicious wings and she eased her hostility toward Zhou Hao a little.

    ¡®I am not going to hunt tonight.¡¯ It¡¯s no longer necessary for Qin Feng to go out in the night after he had exposed his true strength earlier. He might raise suspicion if he continued to battle.

    ¡®It¡¯s about time I focus on upgrading my power!¡¯

    Qin Feng closed his eyes and unleashed his consciousness. He indulged himself in the experience he had gained during the day.

    He killed six dark-robed entity in a row today. That had upgraded his consciousness by several tiers and it was now F1-tier.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, take everything out and you may go rest,¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Roger that!¡±

    Bai Li emptied the Spatial Rune, and arge pile of red marbles immediately appeared and rolled all over the floor. These were the energy cores they had gathered during the day. Within them, there were a few rusty bones and six ck color ability cores.

    ¡®Dark energy core that belongs to a beast general!¡¯ Qin Feng had earned more than the points could provide today. These things in front of him were equally valuable though they could not be turned into money.

    Other ability users might need a machine to extract the rune but Qin Feng could conveniently skip that step.

    ¡®Absorb!¡¯

    ¡®Absorb! Absorb! Absorb!¡¯

    His consciousness evolved into the next tier after he swallowed the six ability cores.

    F2-tier consciousness achieved!

    Not only that but Qin Feng had also found new ways of rune arrangement among the cores that he had just absorbed.

    Since he owned the Hell Stone, his dark ability held ten times greater potential than other users. At this rate, even the dark-robed entities would not be his match.

    After he was done with the cores, he opened his eyes andid them on the strange bones.

    He knew just how resilient these bones were through the battle today. These were great stuff.

    Qin Feng remembered the broken arm he obtained before and activated his absorption ability once again to consume the bones.

    He was busy absorbing and evolving the whole night. All his attributes, including his consciousness, physical strength, internal force, and warrior tier had reached F2-tier in just one night. Furthermore, his F2-tier was definitely stronger than other equivalents by a few notches.

    Qin Feng exhaled slowly when the first light of dawn lit the sky. He had made a giant leap forward and was no longer the same man he was the day before. His power had grown significantly overnight.

    ¡®I wonder whether I can solo the Emperor Knight now?¡¯ Qin Feng clenched his fist and was eager to try out.

 Chapter 95 - Dark-Robed Ripper

    <h4>Chapter 95: Dark-Robed Ripper</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng reckoned he should not be too full of himself when he recalled that the Emperor Knight was at F8-tier.

    He reminded himself not to evaluate the current situation based on his past experience as an A-tier warrior. Emperor Knights were a formidable foe that was still too difficult for him at his present state.

    Qin Feng loosened up a little after he thought it through. ¡®Getting stronger should be my priority now.¡¯

    He worked relentlessly the next few days to exterminate as many F-tier zombies as possible. Nheless, the invasion did not show signs of slowing down.

    Qin Feng had indeed be stronger. He was currently as lethal as an E-tier fighter. Both the number of zombies killed and his points increased exponentially as the days went by.

    On the other hand, the Dark-Robed Rippers seemed to have be equally desperate. The more zombies the humans killed, the more frequent the spatial rift appeared. The humans and the beasts were locked in a seesaw battle.

    In the past few days, not only the zombies but the human force had also suffered considerable loss. A handful of ability users had fallen in the hands of the enemy. Chengyang city was able to hold only because they had hauled inrge reinforcements from other colonies. Besides, the authorities had covered up the number of actual casualties, thus not many knew that they had already lost close to four hundredrades.

    Qin Feng was aware of the actual situation. Hence, other than essential rest, he had been hunting non-stop up at Zimu Mountains. His point reward was a whopping 80,000 credits now, which far exceeded the rest of the troop.

    At the mountains, Qin Feng leisurely beheaded another fiery zombie in front of him.

    The core inside the zombie skull was an ability core. After Qin Feng had absorbed it, the core granted him a small number of fire runes.

    Unfortunately, even with the great numbers of runes, Qin Feng still found it difficult to enhance his consciousness.

    He could not do anything about it. Most of the dark-robed entities had been killed by him and he had run out of ingredients to power up his consciousness.

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t the Ripper let more dark-robed entities slip through?¡± Qin Feng murmured.

    He actually understood why. Ability users that could manipte runes were a rare breed. If it were umon among the human race, then it should also be the case for other species. The dark-robed entities were probably a rare and valuable asset in their world as well.

    Qin Feng chuckled and was suddenly alerted. A dark-robed entity had just appeared not very far ahead.

    ¡°Speaking of the devil!¡± Qin Feng dashed up to the beast quickly.

    Bai Li sensed the anomaly and cautioned her master. ¡°Dear, be careful. It¡¯s a beast king.¡±

    Bai Li had learned about the human ssification of beasts after mingling in the society for a while now. The dark-robed entity in front of them was not themon beast Qin Feng thought it was.

    Qin Feng was startled. ¡°The Dark-Robed Ripper?¡±

    The moment he made out the enemy¡¯s identity, it was already dashing toward him.

    Rawr!

    The Ripper revealed its look. Different from the ck skeleton and skull usually seen onmon dark-robed entities, the Ripper¡¯s face was scarlet. It looked exactly like a skinless creature with its flesh exposed. There were no whites in its eyes, which made the creature both peculiar and hideous.

    He seemed to have found out that the culprit behind its underlings¡¯ massacre was the human in front of it. The beast raised its arm and rays of dark bands soon covered Qin Feng.

    ¡®Darkser?¡¯ Qin Feng knew exactly what those rays were. The other dark-robed entities had used the same trick on him before but since he had absorbed the hell stone, Qin Feng was immune to all types of dark ability.

    However, Qin Feng decided it was best not to expose his ability with so many surveince drones flying around.

    Unfortunately, the Ripper¡¯s dark ray traveled too fast and shrouded a huge area owing to the abundant dark element surrounding them. It was simply not possible to evade them all.

    ¡®You are not the only one with aser!¡¯ Qin Feng reacted calmly and raised his fingers. However, the beaming out from it was not the darkser but a zing spark.

    ¡®Fire beam!¡¯ Qin Feng learned the skill immediately after he mastered the darkser since both skills were based on the same principle. To a certain extent, the fire beam was even more devastating than the dark ray. Unlike the debilitating effect of the darkser, the fire beam features scorching heat and explosive impact. With such dense energy packed into a single beam, the fire element actually had a bigger advantage in a direct collision between the two.

    Pop!

    The fire beam met the darkser straight on in mid-air. The two forces pushed against each other evenly. But slowly and steadily, Qin Feng¡¯s fire beam began to push back the darkser.

    ¡®Go all the way!¡¯ Qin Feng enhanced his consciousness and gathered more fire runes in the air. He finally amassed enough energy topletely overwhelm his opponent.

    Boom!

    The me hit the Ripper¡¯s body and sent the beast flying.

    ¡°Hmm?¡± Qing Feng was baffled.

    Because of the attack, the Dark-Robed Ripper was no longer able to hide its presence. Themunicator picked up the beast¡¯s signal and rang abruptly.

    ¡°Alert! Beast king has appeared. The detected creature is F3-tier. It is 42 meters away from your current position. Be cautious and retreat immediately.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s newmunicator was able to analyze nearby creatures with better precision.

    ¡®The Dark-Robed Ripper is only an F3-tier? Then why are those E-tier users still unable to defeat it? What a bunch of thrash!¡¯

    Qin Feng turned grim as he instantlyprehended the true reason behind it. Since the situation wasrgely under control now, E-tier fighters only needed to fight once or twice per day and would be given a great reward. They certainly did not hope to see this end too quickly. This was because the longer the war dragged on, the more benefit they would be able to reap.

    As a result, those who put their lives on the line were not the E-tiers but users from G-tier and F-tier.

    ¡®I will dly take what you have let loose.¡¯ Qin Feng marched on furiously. The Ripper was obviously a powerful ability user. Such a creature certainly had high consciousness. Qin Feng could not wait to reap the reward from killing it.

    The Ripper was greatly agitated by Qin Feng. To the beast, Qin Feng was just a measly fly that did not know his ce.

    It pointed at Qin Feng furiously. A dark circr object promptly appeared at the tip of its finger and erged rapidly.

    Qin Feng side-stepped and evaded the attack agilely.

    The dark energy ball could pry away a human life force. It worked almost the same way as Qin Feng¡¯s skill, only that the Ripper had stronger consciousness and could release the attack at will from a further distance.

    Qin Feng moved extremely fast by triggering his inner force. He ryed most of the force to his leg, which enabled him to skip past the ball of death.

    At the same time, five fire beams exploded simultaneously.

    Boom!

    The Dark-Robed Ripper protected itself with a dark barrier and resisted Qin Feng¡¯s short-range attack.

    The two of them scaled up the assault as both sides refused to back down. It was hard for the drone not to notice the barrage of massive attacks executed in this battle.

    Inside the base, most of the E-tier ability users received the live footage almost at the same time.

    ¡°What¡¯s the big fuss?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the Ripper. Someone seems to be fighting it!¡±

    ¡°I recognize him. It¡¯s Qin Feng. Why did he attack the Ripper?¡±

    ¡°He is actually capable of exterminating an F-tier beast king. That¡¯s bad. We have to stop him now!¡±

 Chapter 96 - Shootout

    <h4>Chapter 96: Shootout</h4>

    Qin Feng believed that the soldiers were reserving their strength to seek for long term gain. However, there was actually another catch in this pit of a mess.

    The authorities of Chengyang City had long nned to ce a stabilizer at this location. In the future, this ce would be a colony just like Chengbei.

    The important question that lingered in everyone¡¯s mind now was who would be deployed as the mayor in this colony. There was a lot of interest at stake here as the one who would be the mayor would reap tremendous benefits.

    That was the actual reason why the troop was not acting in consensus. They were probing and guarding against each other.

    One day ago, the mayor of Chengyang City finally had enough of it and announced that the one with the most contribution in this war would be given the position.

    This somehow soothed the fierce rivalries between the opportunists. They knew well that the first to strike would easily be the center of gunpoint so everyone was biding their time.

    Unexpectedly, the bnce was broken after just one day by the hands of a G-tier ability user.

    Obviously, they could tell that Qin Feng was far greater than a G-tier. That gave them all the more reason to stop him from killing the Ripper.

    ***

    Qin Feng was not aware of the political infighting within the troop.

    Hismunicator rang continuously during the battle but he was too upied with the Ripper and paid little attention to it.

    It was Deng Nian on the other side of themunicator. He was worried sick.

    Qin Feng was his student and also a gifted genius that would be the pir of his university in years toe. He would not allow any mishap to happen to such an important talent.

    Deng Nian was excited when he first saw Qin Feng challenging the Ripper alone. But when he thought about the promise made by Chengyang¡¯s mayor a day earlier, he knew Qin Feng might have poked the beehive.

    However, he could not warn Qin Feng in time since he did not answer his call.

    ¡®I am not going to let anything happen to you!¡¯

    Deng Nian took over the public announcer and yelled, ¡°Qin Feng, give up your pursuit. Leave the ripper alone and get the hell out of there.¡±

    There was one ring problem in doing this, though. Now, everyone inside Zimu Mountain was aware of Qin Feng¡¯s presence.

    Qin Feng was well known in this region. Such an announcement would only raise more curiosity among the ability users around the vicinity.

    Qin Feng did not understand Deng Nian¡¯s intention when he heard the public call. This was when a red projectile came flying in from the camp¡¯s direction.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face immediately darkened. It was obvious that the missile was aiming at him.

    ¡®What the hell are they doing?¡¯

    The drone was still transmitting so those in the base must have known that he was still nearby. ¡®How could they fire the missile while I am this close to the Ripper? Are they trying to bury us alive together?¡¯

    He recalled the warning from Deng Nian a moment ago and guessed that he must have gotten himself into an unknown affair.

    That only further aggravated him.

    ¡®How dare these guys back-stab me!?¡¯ He was furious and unsheathed the photon gun on his waist. He fired several quick shots and downed the few drones around him.

    The Dark-Robed Ripper transformed into a shadow and vanished into thin air the moment the missilended.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, take cover!¡± Qin Feng finally unleashed Bai Li since they were no longer under surveince.

    ¡°Let¡¯s move!¡± Bai Li instantly teleported while carrying Qin Feng with her.

    Boom!

    The projectilended right where Qin Feng initially was at. The ce soon exploded and caught fire. Qin Feng would definitely be reduced to dust if he had jumped off another secondte.

    It was a rather powerful explosive missile.

    ¡®Just so happens that I know a thing or two about projectiles as well.¡¯ Qin Feng smirked and expanded his consciousness. The conscious energy of an ability user far exceeded that of a gunner.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, get me the long-rangeduncher. The silver one!¡±

    ¡°This?¡± Bai Li handed over a silveruncher that looked more like a mechanical arm. Its metallic coating shone brightly under the sunlight.

    Qin Feng handled theuncher skillfully and set it up swiftly on his left shoulder. The whole process took less than five seconds.

    He then raised the bazooka and ced his right index finger on the giant trigger.

    Boom!!

    An orange missile was fired out of theuncher after the loud bang.

    At the same time, an E-tier gunner at a mountain thousands of miles away was stupefied. The gunner could feel that he was being targeted and the next moment, a missile aiming at him came abruptly into his vision.

    ¡°Sh*t!¡± This gunner was the one who had ambushed Qin Feng with the red projectile earlier on. He did not expect Qin Feng to locate him so quickly and immediately counter attack.

    Boom!

    The E-tier gunner fired another shot intended to intercept Qin Feng¡¯s shot mid-air.

    Thousands of miles away, Qin Feng sneered. ¡®Jokes on you. Turn!¡¯

    He controlled the missile with his consciousness to avoid the iing red missile. It then continued to pierce toward the gunner¡¯s location.

    ¡°Bastard!¡± The E-tier ability user rebuked out of panic. He fired another few rounds and finally stopped the missile before it reached him.

    Before he could catch his breath, he suddenly heard the hissing sounds of more missiles breaking through the air. He looked up and saw three orange missilese through the mushroom cloud. His consciousness had failed to sense any of it.

    ¡°Consciousness blocking...¡± The gunner murmured unwittingly and was engulfed by multiple explosions in the next moment.

    Ka-boom!

    ***

    Qin Feng grinned at the foot of the mother mountain. ¡®Get a taste of your own medicine.¡¯

    The counter attack by Qin Feng was rather astonishing.

    There were seventeen E-tier ability users at the scene. The fallen gunner was not the only one that had pulled the trigger but he was indeed the fastest among them.

    The others were waiting to follow up to ensure the kill on the Ripper and Qin Feng but were horrified to see that Qin Feng had returned the favor with even more powerful assaults. The sign of the Dark-Robed Ripper had also disappeared along with Qin Feng.

    The group could not sense Qin Feng¡¯s whereabouts but was instead target-locked by Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness.

    ¡°How scary is this guy? Since when did his consciousness be so powerful?¡±

    ¡°Screw him! I thought that he was an ancient warrior?!¡±

    ¡°ording to the data, Qin Feng was a student from the ability ss of Chengbei University. Could it be that his ability had reached F-tier? Otherwise, how could he be this strong?¡±

    The consciousness of a gunner was induced by using external help. Its power would never match that of an ability user who had developed it naturally. Even though Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was only F-tier, he still outssed every single E-tier gunner here!

    The gunners were pinned and dared not attack recklessly.

    ¡°We are out. ancient warriors, you are up next. Be sure to stop Qin Feng at all cost!¡±

    The ancient warriors had begun taking action before being asked to do so. They glided toward Zimu Mountains and were searching for Qin Feng frantically from the sky above the area.

    However, they found nothing in sight.

    Not only Qin Feng but the Dark-Robed Ripper was also nowhere to be seen.

    ¡®Darn! How could we have lost two targets in an instance?¡¯

    ¡®We can¡¯t let Qin Feng escape. He is a student of Chengbei University. He is not to join the evaluation next month.¡¯

    ¡®His potential is beyond the chart. He is going to disrupt the power bnce in Chengyang at this rate. My uncle is one of the strongest candidates to run for mayor next term. We can¡¯t afford to let him mature into our future threat.¡¯

    ¡®Damn you, Qin Feng. You should pay with blood for killing my underling!¡±

    The members of the ¡°search and kill¡± team might have a different purpose in mind but they all had onemon target¡ªto put an end to Qin Feng¡¯s meteoric rise.

    Nevertheless, none of them could locate Qin Feng.

    They were not to be med. Most parts of the Zimu Mountains had now turned into barends. Rotting trees were consumed by dark runes and would soon turn into bewitched nts. This caused the Zimu Mountains to be stained by the ck color of death. Both Qin Feng and the Ripper were dark ability users so they could conceal themselves in the environment without being noticed.

    However, they could clearly sense each other. After all, they were almost equal in power, with Qin Feng perhaps slightly stronger overall since he was also an ancient warrior.

    ¡®Let¡¯s get this done quickly.¡¯ With this thought in mind, Qin Feng pursued the Ripper with Bai Li on his side.

    The Dark-Robed Ripper could sense the imminent danger and dashed toward the peak hastily.

    At the mountain peak, the Emperor Knight was annoyed by the flies that had suddenly upied the sky of his turf. Without its spear, the beast could no longerunch ranged attacks and thus it could only wait for its prey toe down.

    The beast¡¯s attention was distracted by the search team and it had also failed to realize the presence of the Dark-Robed Ripper in stealth mode.

    ¡®Gotcha!¡¯ Qin Feng sneered and intercepted the Ripper with his well-built body.

    Bang!

    The Dark-Robed Ripper took the hit and was bounced into the air. Itnded hard on the ground and continued to roll down the hill before it was stopped by a giant tree.

    sh!

    Qin Feng quickly followed up with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    He did not expect that the Ripper¡¯s robe was also made of runes. It exploded into a dark mist as soon as the saber came into contact with it. Qin Feng felt like he had hit on arge pile of fluffy cotton instead of the Ripper¡¯s body.

    ¡°Grrrr!¡±

    The Dark-Robed Ripper was infuriated and evoked all its power.

    Without being watched by drones, Qin Feng neither retreated nor evaded this time.

    Though his saber was unable to cut through the Ripper, Qin Feng still had plenty of tricks up his sleeves.

    Qin Feng retracted the saber and wrapped his hand around the robe.

    ¡°Absorb!¡± The dark runes of the robe disappeared into his palm under the effect of his innate ability.

    With the mist protecting the Ripper gone, Qin Feng finally managed to grab its body.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    This secret art not only could devour the enemy¡¯s inner power but it also exerted ten times the force in return. The impact created by the two opposing forces was especially suffocating.

    It was the Ripper¡¯s arm that Qin Feng was gripping at the moment.

    Poof!

    The arm exploded under the grinding force. There was no blood but only flesh that burst into pieces along with the ck robe.

    ¡®Break!¡¯

    Qin Feng heaved and forcefully tore the remaining arm apart from the Ripper¡¯s body.

    The noisy battle did not go unnoticed. The ancient warriors on gliders finally discovered Qin Feng¡¯s whereabouts and began to descend.

    Not only that but the Emperor Knight had also sensed its demisedrade.

    ¡°Roar!!!¡±

    The Emperor Knight was enraged. Its Umbra Stallion dashed through the air and entered the battle zone almost at the same time as the ancient warriors¡¯ arrival.

    ¡°Stop the knight!¡± Liu Ba from Dongling colony bellowed yet he himself jumped on the Dark-Robed Ripper.

    Nobody cared about the Emperor Knight right now. They were all here to take advantage of the dying Ripper.

    ¡®Bunch of hooligans!¡¯ Qin Feng triggered his inner force once again.

    ¡®Asteroid Assimtion!¡¯ Instantly, a vortex of energy appeared around Qin Feng.

    ¡°What the hell is this?¡±

    None of the ancient warriors had experienced the power of Asteroid Assimtion before. They panicked and were horrified to find that their inner power was disappearing rapidly as if it were being sucked out by an external force.

    Nheless, these were E-tiers with massive battle experience. They knew that this vortex was either Qin Feng or the Ripper¡¯s doing. There was one simple way to escape the vortex, which was to back off until the edge of the affected area.

    The E-tier aptitude users were indeed powerful enough to escape the strange whirlpool easily.

    ¡®Toote!¡¯ Qin Feng leered. He had foreseen the attack of the Emperor Knight.

    Since no one was slowing down the knight, it charged in with its shield and knocked an ancient warrior out of its way.

    The ancient warrior spilled blood but luckily it was not too serious. Even so, he had lost the ability and stamina topete with others now.

    Unfortunately, a ghastly figure suddenly appeared behind him.

    ¡°My dear sir, why did you gang up and attack me just now?¡± Qin Feng asked rhetorically.

    The face of the fallen warrior paled rapidly. Before he could defend himself, Qin Feng hadid his hand on the warrior¡¯s dantian.

    Asteroid Assimtion!

    His rich inner power was devoured by Qin Feng.

    If the internal force of an F-tier ancient warrior was described as thin mist, then that of the E-tier ancient warrior was as thick as a sea of clouds.

    Qin Feng digested the sea of clouds swiftly inside his own dantian and turned them into ten patches of energy mists. These, of course, were still not as dense as Qin Feng¡¯s original energy mass.

    Regardless, it was better than naught! This could greatly amplify his training speed.

    ¡°What have you done to me?¡± The E-tier ancient warrior was devastated after he realized that his dantian had been emptied and could no longer generate any internal strength.

    ¡°My respected senior, I only require your exnation. But since you are heavily injured, I will let it slide for now and we shall get to it when we are back in the base.¡± Qin Feng said righteously and turned to the others.

    Those who had besieged him before were now being pursued by the Emperor Knight.

    Qin Feng¡¯s skill earlier on had critically derailed them. Yet, some of them were able to remain unharmed, such as Lin Zheng and Han Jian.

    ¡°Haha, good job, Qin Feng.¡± Han Jianughed hysterically. He was here to stop the others but figured that he was not needed after all.

    While Lin Zheng had restrained himself from making a move in front of Han Jian, he was not shameless to the point where he would publicly kill arade from the same colony.

    ¡°We have to kill the Emperor Knight together or none of us are going to get out alive!¡±

    Liu Ba growled and charged in first. Others knew that what he said was true. If they were to still refuse to work together now, then the whole team might be annihted. Hence, everyone cooperated and brought out their best attack.

    These individuals were actually capable fighters but they were overwhelmed by the Emperor Knight before because each of them were fighting for their own lowly intentions.

    Why had they given up on the Dark-Robed Ripper? Because the beast had once again blended into the dark surroundings and the ancient warriors had lost trace of it once more.

    ¡°Hehe!¡± The Dark-Robed Ripper let out a blood-thirsty cackle that echoed through the darkness. At the same time, a powerful beam of dark ray burst forth.

    All seven of the ancient warriors present were helplessly caught within the dark ray¡¯s area of impact.

    Of course, Qin Feng was not one of them.

    Of the seven ancient warriors, one already had his internal strength sucked away by Qin Feng. The distance between Han Jian and Lin Zheng was toorge for them to make it in time. This meant that the lives of the remaining four warriors were now hanging onto a thread that could snap at any moment.

    In mere moments, the Emperor Knight had regained the upper hand.

    ¡°Goddamn it! Kill that ripper thing already!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t detect it! Why don¡¯t you kill it yourself!?¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s Qin Feng? Isn¡¯t he able to detect it?¡±

    As the seconds went by, these people realised how dire the situation had now be, and they wanted Qin Feng to take the reigns!

    Qin Feng¡¯s cynicalugh reverberated in the darkness.

    He was no fool. Why would he attack?

    However, no ck was given as the Dark-Robed Ripper suddenly reappeared. This time, it materialised right beside the body of the person whose internal energy was drained by Qin Feng.

    It went straight for the person¡¯s neck, sinking its teeth deep into where the jugr vein was.

    ¡°Aaaghhhh!¡±

    The person let out a blood-curdling wail that was apanied by the grotesque sound of bubbling as blood slowly oozed out from his windpipe.

    ¡°Somebody, save me! Save me!¡±

    It was a shame that no one dared to save him. Nobody could. Among the eight people present, they were divided into five separate sses but nobody belonged to the same ss as the victim.

    Even if there was someone with the same level of skill as him present, just like how both Qin Feng and Lin Zheng hailed from Cheng Bei colony, should crap hit the fan for one person, it could be guaranteed that the other would never step in to lend a hand!

    Thus, that man¡¯s calls for help were in vain; he was as good as dead.

    In the blink of an eye, that person turned into a dried up human pulp as the ripper sucked him dry. Where the wrist of the Dark-Robed Ripper was exposed, one could observe a rapid regeneration of bone, blood and muscle.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Lin Zheng seized the opportunity and attempted to finish off the Dark-Robed Ripper.

    His body showed no signs of weakness even after being hit by the dark ray. Of all the ancient warriors present, the one with the strongestbat capability was now him.

    Qin Feng, too, suddenly broke out and attacked.

    The Dark-Robed Ripper was not an entity that could be in so easily by mere mortals. If not for Qin Feng¡¯s immunity to dark abilities, the oue would have been much more different!

    As the two powers shed, a white-hot glow started expanding, encapsting the surroundings.

    The lone Emperor Knight was facing an enemy with numerical superiority. While his abilities granted him extreme powers, in a death struggle against E-tier aptitude users, he could only hold out for so long.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The Emperor Knight roared furiously. While busily fending off the unrelenting attacks from his two enemies, the shield he was gripping in his hands was sent flying out at great speed.

    The sharp end of the shield mercilessly lodged itself near dead center on the chest of one of the ancient warriors.

    Crack!

    The sound of his ribcage shattering was audible to all that stood nearby.

    Poof!

    The unfortunate ancient warrior retreated a distance away before he copsed and vomited out a mouthful of dark-red blood. His entire chest cavity caved in from the impact and not long after, his eyes lost the luster it once had.

    His final thought was one of regret. Why was he so keen on grabbing this job, this job that he had to pay for with his life.

    Qin Feng, who was hiding in the dark, reappeared by the deceased warrior¡¯s side.

    ¡°Gulp!¡±

    Hisrge, muscr frame exuded raw strength. Like an unstoppable tidal wave, the warrior was taken into Qin Feng¡¯s dantian, where a massive reservoir of internal strength was contained.

    Yet another dozen or so clouds of mist were integrated into his dantian.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, tuck away that shield!¡±

    In the darkness, Bai Li who never once revealed herself activated her spatial maniption, and in the next instant, the shield was nowhere to be seen.

    The Emperor Knight had now lost yet another weapon. This time, he found the pesky thief he was looking for.

    After all, Qin Feng was the only that appeared right beside the body that was struck by his shield!

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The Emperor Knight bellowed once more as he dug his heels into the side of his spirit horse, beckoning it to charge toward Qin Feng.

    Without a moment of hesitation, Qin Feng started running.

    The four people who were fighting against the Emperor Knight recognised an opportunity when they saw one. Not wanting to let this chance slip away, they too, started giving chase.

    However, they could never match the speed of the Emperor Knight¡¯s seasoned warhorse.

    Qin Feng¡¯s speed, on the other hand, was vastly different!

    ¡°Fire Beam!¡±

    The most crucial moment had arrived as Qin Feng made his stand.

    His fire beam, contrasted with the darkness of the night sky, looked like fireworks from afar; one could easily get lost in its beauty. However, looks could and do kill. Moments after the beam was shot off by Qin Feng, a massive hole appeared right at the center of the Emperor Knight¡¯s torso.

    Boom!

    This time, the Emperor Knight was sent flying off the back of his warhorse.

    Everything that Bai Li knew was directly from Qin Feng¡¯s lessons, mostly by the use of simple analogies. The Emperor Knight¡¯s spear as well as his shield were now stored away safely in her private space. The only thing left now, was the lone warhorse standing idle on the battlefield without its master. Bai Li¡¯s eyes lit up as one would at the sight of a delicious meal awaiting. Streaks of spatial passages appeared in the air which swallowed up the warhorse whole, leaving no trace behind.

    The Emperor Knight had now be a general without his army, a paper tiger.

    Refusing to let this chance escape, Qin Feng walked over withrge, confident strides.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his arm and took aim. The hand cannon in his grip was now humming with a low frequency, indicating that it was primed for firing.

    Bang!

    A shell burst out of the barrel, spinning toward its target.

    Liu Ba and the rest who were giving chase arrived at the scene, their eyes widened as if they were about to spew out insults.

    However, they did not have time to spare for such unnecessary acts. Everyone dropped onto the ground,ying down to avoid being caught up in the explosion.

    The ground where the Emperor Knightid erupted as an ear-splitting explosion shook the air around them.

    mes licked the earth and the aftershock from the explosion was so powerful that it knocked some of the ancient warriors off their feet. Everyone present felt firsthand, its immense power, as their organs shifted around within their bodies.

    Qin Feng, however, did not even have a single scratch on his body. As his fire beam attack sent the Emperor Knight flying backwards, the distance between him and the explosion was thergest.

    Without waiting for the dust to settle, Qin Feng rushed into the mes with fire runes floating around his body, forming a barrier against the extreme temperature of his surroundings.

    The Emperor Knightid motionless at ground zero of the explosion. What was surprising was that despite the immense explosion, he was notpletely vaporized as one normally would be. Though, its armour had now been twisted into an almost unrecognisable form and its skull had been detached from the torso.

    It was safe to say that the guy was as good as dead!

    Qin Feng bent over and picked up the helmet, not forgetting to pour out what remained of the Emperor Knight¡¯s head.

    ¡°Thud!¡±

    A bare skull with the same density as a metal plopped out of the helmet onto the ground.

    However, that was not the end of it. Through its eye sockets, there appeared to be a fist-sized, crimson-colored energy core.

    An F8-tier king core!

    This thing could be worth up to billions if it were put up for auction in Wanzong!

    ¡°Honey, I want it, I want it!¡± Bai Li jumped out from the dark, wrapping herself around Qin Feng. Her eyes were staring intently at the energy core.

    Hearing Bai Li¡¯s voice, he could feel a chill running up his spine as feelings of guilt surged from within.

    ¡°Go ahead!¡±

    Qin Feng, who had a soft spot for Bai Li, gave up the energy core without protest nor second thoughts.

    Carefully, she tucked the precious gift away before she did with the Emperor Knight¡¯s body and belongings.

    ¡°Cough cough! Bastard, Qin Feng, where the hell¡¯s the Emperor Knight?¡±

    As the dust gradually settled, Liu Ba and his men came running over. Bai Li once again disappeared into the darkness before they had the chance to see her, leaving only Qin Feng to deal with the situation.

    ¡°Been turned into ashes, I reckon¡± Qin Feng shrugged. Since there was nothing left behind as proof of its death, these people could flip Zimu Mountains over and still find no trace of the Emperor Knight!

    ¡°You¡¯re terrible at lying! You¡¯ve probably hidden the Emperor Knight somewhere! Where¡¯s the spatial runic equipment you brought with you? Let me set things straight, the Emperor Knight¡¯s death was our collective effort. You¡¯ve got no right to have things all to yourself!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled at the statement.

    ¡°Without you guys, I¡¯d still be able to kill it. With you guys around, there¡¯s nothing for me to gain since you¡¯d all be fighting over the loot!¡±

    ¡°Arrogance leads to nowhere, Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°Little bastard, you¡¯re asking for it!¡±

    The other two ancient warriors, too, entered into the fray.

    Han Jian was quite obviously on Qin Feng¡¯s side.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Has the timee to take credit for the kill? It¡¯s not like you guys actually took him out, is it? Even if we were to get our share of the reward, there¡¯d only be ten million for us each. Y¡¯know what, how about I just pay you that measly amount to keep your mouths shut?¡±

    While Han Jian was expressly talking about money, it was a roundabout statement of how ipetent yet greedy these people were.

    ¡°Han Jian, don¡¯t you forget that you are also one of those who joined the attack on the Emperor Knight!¡± Liu Ba yelled out in an attempt to point out the hypocrisy of Han Jian¡¯s statement.

    ¡°So what of it? This whole thing involving the Emperor Knight was just something that I stumbled onto back when I was in Chengbei colony.¡±

    Out of the five people at the scene, only Qin Feng and Han Jian were from Chengbei colony. The other three were from separate regions so going by the majority, it became apparent to whom most credit was due.

    It was at this moment that Qin Feng interrupted with augh.

    ¡°If I were you guys, I wouldn¡¯t be frolicking around here for too long. Have you forgotten the fact that the Dark-Robed Ripper is still out there, waiting to strike?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s words struck them like lightning.

    ¡°This is bad!¡±

    Back there, Lin Zheng alone faced the Dark-Robed Ripper, and none of them were willing to redirect their forces to aid his battle, the reason being that the Emperor Knight was showing signs of weakness. No one wanted to give up on the battle just yet.

    Who would have thought that the credit of bringing down the Emperor Knight would be snatched away by Qin Feng. Now, they were left to face the Dark-Robed Ripper who was the main entity supporting this spatial passage as well as where the most important tasky as of now.

    What remained of the group hurried back where they came from.

    Unknown to them though, the situation involving the Dark-Robed Ripper was not as good as they had expected!

    The Dark-Robed Ripper possessed dark abilities which allowed it to escape from the grasp of its enemies much easier than the Emperor Knight. Not to mention the fact that king-tier beings had intelligence on par with humans; upon breaking away from Qin Feng¡¯s attacks, the Dark-Robed Ripper had gone on to amass an army of zombies.

    Hidden amidst the formation of its corpse soldiers, it was practically impossible to be able to discern which was which.

    Lin Zheng¡¯s expression darkened. He had predicted that the scene would turn multitudes uglier especially after Qin Feng had defeated the Emperor Knight.

    Even the ability users who hurried over were visibly hesitant in their every action.

    Apart from Deng Nian, there was an E-tier earth ability user as well as a fire ability user of the same tier.

    All three of them stood by to observe the situation for a while and only after confirming that things were stable did they start moving forward. After all, ability users were extremely precious assets on the battlefield and to lose even one was too much a price to pay. While these users possessed extremely strong powers, fighting detached without any support was thest thing they would want.

    ¡°It seems that our chances of finding that Dark-Robed Ripper is pretty much nil now!¡±

    ¡°Now that there are so many zombies on the mountain¡¯s peak, the gunners should just carpet bomb the area to thin out the herd or at least take some burden off our hands!¡±

    ¡°Even if we do not find it, orders are orders. The Emperor Knight¡¯s dead now and there¡¯s no guarantee that the ripper won¡¯t bring out some overpowered monster from a new spatial passage or whatever the hell it has up its sleeve.¡±

    ¡°Agreed!¡±

    Victory or defeat now hinged upon their actions and no one was willing to give up just yet. Without dy, they each started rying information to the gunners.

    However, the people on the receiving side of the information were left speechless.

    ¡°Cough cough, Qin Feng!¡± Deng Nian opened up first, calling out to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Principal!¡± Qin Feng replied as he walked up to the person calling out to him.

    ¡°Do you need me to cover your retreat?¡±

    Deng Nian was no young chap. Fighting on the frontlines detached from the main fighting force without backup was just too risky for a man his age.

    ¡°No I¡¯m not calling out to you for that. Qin Feng, have you locked down the gunners on the battlefield using your consciousness? We¡¯ve decided to wipe out everything that moves on top of the mother mountain and they¡¯re hoping that you can withdraw your consciousness!¡±

    While speaking to Qin Feng, Deng Nian looked up and down his body as if to appraise him. The old man felt impressed by how Qin Feng turned out to be a fine young man. Still, he could not help but feel that he had grown just that little bit older and weaker.

    Whatever talents that resided within Qin Feng was truly too strong for him toprehend!

    He did not expect that Qin Feng was able to suppress E-tier gunners using his consciousness alone.

    And while that was happening, Qin Feng had been continuously engaged in different battles but still came out on top. His strength was truly something to be reckoned with.

    ¡°I just need them to be more careful with their aim. Tell those trigger-happy freaks to aim their shots away from me, else I¡¯d get back at them once I return!¡±

    Qin Feng remarked thornily.

    In fact, they too were actually nning as Qin Feng had said. If it were not for the restraints exerted over the gunners by Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness, they would be the ones firing thest shot, not him.

    While theirbat capability was not something to call home about, these gunners could be pretty capable when it came to stealing credit.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll let them know. Right, before I forget, remember the incident where you injured Lu Heng in a scuffle? Please don¡¯t ruminate over that matter any more. Hmph, he pales inparison with others so pay no heed to that man!¡±

    Deng Nian replied.

    Lu Heng was the gunner that Qin Feng and Liu Ba jointly faced off against when he just arrived here for the first time as a newbie. He was also the same person who, not long ago, shot at Qin Feng behind his back which earned him three shells in retaliation, fired by none other than Qin Feng himself.

    However, gunners were pretty well-known to be money bags so he must have had some kind of runic equipment on hand shielding him against most harm lobbed at him, hence that was why Qin Feng presumed him to still be alive and kicking.

    ¡°Yeah, ruminating over pointless things isn¡¯t something I¡¯d do very often.¡±

    Qin Feng said as he nodded.

    Right after that, the team made a swift retreat back to the base of the mother mountain whereupon arriving, the continuous sound of gunfire echoed through the skies as hell itself rained down upon the mountain.

    In mere seconds,rge swathes of the Corpse Corps were reduced to smithereens.

    The final cannon shot shook the ground a full half hourter which marked the start of their offensive stance. On the ground, everyone, whether ancient warriors or ability users, started rushing up toward the peak of Zimu Mountains for they knew that the Dark-Robed Ripper had no chance of escaping now. Whoever that first grabbed hold of the enemy would be the one to control the entire ce.

    Deng Nian was the first to attack.

    ¡°Light up!¡±

    Activating the runic ability, a ball of light expanded rapidly. Under the blinding ray of light, the surface of the summit looked as white as a sheet of paper and there was not an inch of the ce that was covered by darkness.

    Deng Nian instantly charged toward a specific direction where the dark runes were the most concentrated, which was likely going to be where the Dark-Robed Ripper was hiding.

    The people formed into a moving wall that trailed closely behind Deng Nian.

    One simply could not deny the fact that Deng Nian was quite a capable man, being able to locate where the cowardly Dark-Robed Ripper was taking refuge.

    Qin Feng walked right beside Deng Nian, scanning the E-tier aptitude users around him vigntly. He began to take note of which one whose powers he should absorb should he fall onto the ground deadter on. As they say, one man¡¯s corpse is another man¡¯s treasure.

    The group of people who werepletely oblivious as to the fact that they were being noted down, pretended to follow nonchntly behind Deng Nian.

    ¡°Hehe, Xiao Bai, time for you to go!¡± Qin Feng thought in his mind. Xiao Bai, who had forged a contract with Qin Feng, immediately started moving.

    While these people were imagining themselves as a praying mantis waiting to strike at the cicada, Qin Feng intended to show them, just what the phrase ¡°he who strikes first prevails¡± meant.

    Bai Li¡¯s spatial maniption skill allowed her to move about undetected, like a phantom who was out for blood. After taking in the beast king energy core Qin Feng had given her recently, her abilities had now grown to the level of an F2-tier beast king, meaning her ss was not too far off from the Dark-Robed Ripper.

    The most important factor however, was that an unending series of battles had finally taken the toll on the Dark-Robed Ripper who now was inflicted with heavy injuries.

    Bai Li stealthily materialised behind the Dark-Robed Ripper¡¯s back.

    ¡°Space de!¡±

    A silver ray glimmered, with a pure ck crack down its very center. Whatever that came into contact with this crack would be rendered into nothingness.

    The de which Bai Li flungnded precisely right on top of the Dark-Robed Ripper¡¯s skull.

    Crack!

    The head of the Dark-Robed Ripper, who was originally nning a nasty ambush against the humans, had now caved into itself and in the next moment, it came tumbling down onto the ground.

    Bai Li raised her hand to catch the pitch-ck ability core before disappearing into thin air again.

    Right after this happened, the group of humans walked over, and avoiding therge fallen tree, they could finally make out the Dark-Robed Ripper¡¯s silhouette.

    With just a few strides, Qin Feng made his way over under the pretense of checking out the situation. The truth was that he wanted to quickly absorb as much consciousness lingering in the air as possible.

    It did not take too long for the effects to set in. Qin Feng could feel his own mind ringing, a sign of his consciousness growing in strength.

    ¡°F*ck, it¡¯s already dead. Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s ¡¯cause of a lucky shot some gunner fired?¡±

    ¡°No, that ain¡¯t right. Look, its throat¡¯s been slit by someone!¡±

    ¡°Its ability core¡¯s gone too! Whose doing is this!?¡±

    ¡°What a goddamn waste of efforting here!¡±

    All of a sudden, the group of people was getting more and more furious by the moment.

    Still, no one directed their suspicion at Qin Feng. After all, he was right under their watchful eyes the entire time, up until they discovered the in Dark-Robed Ripper.

    However, the way in which this Dark-Robed Ripper died had now turned this entire situation into an unsolvable mystery!

    The people here, who had prepared themselves for a brawl to the death, started walking away in disappointment and frustration.

    However, this still came as great news for regr aptitude users.

    After all, the Corpse Corps¡¯ two strongest leaders had now been taken down. With no other creatures able to open up new spatial passages, this ce was now secure once and for all. This meant that the soldiers conscripted against their will could now return to their homes!

    While the crisis was resolved, there were still the names of a handful that must be remembered.

    One of these names was none other than Qin Feng himself!

    Qin Feng, alongside many other F-tier aptitude users remained inbat, encircling and finishing off what remained of the Corpse Corps. On the second day, the space stabilising device dispatched from Chengyang had finally arrived.

    At this moment, words alone were insufficient to describe how precious this item was.

    The device wasunched up into the sky to an altitude of roughly two-hundred meters. Viewing from the ground, it looked just like a satellite, only many timesrger. In the future, this ce would be developed into yet another human colony.

    Meanwhile, on one of the slopes of Zimu Mountains, Qin Feng, with Bai Li tagging along, was meeting up with two other people.

    ¡°Mayor Zheng!¡± Qin Feng greeted the man before him. The mayor was arge man, standing at a height of roughly six feet and three inches that was packed full of muscle. With eyes livelier than ever, it was no wonder that his ability had reached E4-tier!

    This was a man who was in his prime. However, he still had room to progress for the years toe.

    The mayor, the head honcho of both the colonies of Chenyang as well as Chengbei!

    ¡°Qin Feng, I see you¡¯ve be quite the hero, young man!¡±

    Zheng Yangplimented him as he shook hands with QIn Feng.

    ¡°I¡¯m ttered, Mayor Zheng!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled.

    All while this was happening, Xue Xingfu who was standing beside Qin Feng, could not help but let out a great sigh.

    ¡°Old boy, you¡¯ve been pretty quiettely but who would¡¯ve thought, the entire ruckus was your doing!¡±

    In the siege against the Emperor Knight as well as the Dark-Robed Ripper, regardless of the disputes which the people had about it, the truth of the matter presented itself in the end results and that alone was indisputable.

    It was Qin Feng, who struck the Dark-Robed Ripper first, inflicting heavy wounds before the main force arrived only to find it lying on the ground, its throat slit. Still, no one came out to im the reward so there was no doubt that Qin Feng deserved most credit as a whole.

    In regards to the Emperor Knight, as Qin Feng was the one who dealt the final blow, while there was inevitably going to be suspicion about him stealing the kill, the same could be said for the initial attackers from before.

    Qin Feng was only giving these people a taste of their own medicine for treating him with unfairness.

    The most unexpected thing to ur, was that the Mayor of Chengyang kept his word by ceding the responsibility of overlooking the newly-established colony over to Qin Feng.

    This was the only reason why Zheng Yang deliberately came over today, tounch the space stabilizing device into orbit as well as to seek cooperation from Qin Feng.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think I¡¯ll have the time to manage the colony. I can, however, be the honorary person in charge, just like the honorary captain of the previous garrison troop!¡±

    ¡°I must admit that I feel a sense of guilt hearing you say this but I understand where you¡¯reing from. After all, a young man shouldn¡¯t be tied down to a ce like this. However, about the ¡®person in charge¡¯ matter, I¡¯d like to hear your thoughts on it.¡± Zheng Yang said.

    Qin Feng smiled as he nced at Xue Xingfu, patiently standing beside Zheng Yang.

    ¡°Big Bro Xue¡¯s one of the closest buddies of mine. Why not just let him take the job?¡± Qin Feng said excitedly.

    ¡°Haha, alright. Well then, you¡¯ll be shouldering the responsibility of being the man in charge of this ce from today onward!¡±

    Zheng Yang said as he nodded.

    Xue Xingfu was visibly excited at the unexpected proposition. It never crossed his mind that Qin Feng would pick his name out of everyone elses¡¯, and without any hesitation at that.

    ¡°Have you got a name in mind for this colony?¡± Zheng Yang questioned.

    ¡°Well uh, I haven¡¯t given too much thought about that to be honest!¡± Qin Feng refrained from rashly proposing any names for now.

    ¡°How about calling it Beifeng colony? It carries part of your name after all, so how about that?¡± Xue Xingfu suggested.

    Qin Feng chuckled forcibly at the proposition as he looked over at Xue Xingfu.

    ¡°Well, this isn¡¯t really the northernmost part of Chengyang is it?¡±

    Deep down, Qin Feng sensed that Xue Xingfu¡¯s previous statement was an expression of loyalty to Zheng Yang!

    With Qin Feng¡¯s influence, Xue Xingfu would soon be in charge of all matters pertaining to this new colony. However, for the moment, he was still an underling of Zheng Yang¡¯s. But if the colony were to expand, which was a very likely oue, there was no guarantee that this status quo between their rtionship could be maintained!

    If the colony were to be named Beifeng, the addition of the word ¡°bei¡± would be equivalent to subjecting the ce under the jurisdiction of the Chengbei colony!

    ¡°What¡¯s more is that the name sounds like the bitter cold winter winds, blowing down from the North! Not a particrly good meaning!¡±

    Xue Xingfuughed awkwardly then remained silent.

    Zheng Yang broke the silence with a heartyugh.

    ¡°It might not be appropriate to say this but, old boy, you¡¯re still the man-in-charge, I wanna hear what¡¯s on your mind!¡±

    Qin Feng looked over at Bai Li beside him and suddenly, a name floated conveniently into his mind.

    ¡°Let¡¯s call it, Fengli colony! ¡°Feng¡± as in wind and ¡°Li¡± as in the break of dawn!¡±

    In reality, this was just the homonym of Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s names but with a twist in its meanings.

    Was this not better?

    ¡°Fengli colony, huh? Sounds pretty good, let¡¯s call it that then!¡± Zheng Yang nodded in agreement.

    ¡°Oh right, Qin Feng, about your encirclement of the Corpse Corps, as well as the establishment of the new Fengli colony, we will be making a propaganda about it so I hope you don¡¯t mind that I¡¯ll be using some of the clips taken of you wiping out the zombie soldiers!¡±

    ¡°Oh, of course, by all means go ahead!¡±

    ¡°Old boy, you¡¯re going to be a hero of the masses now!¡± Xue Xingfu smiled at Qin Feng.

    Scenarios such as this were not entirely unheard of. Everytime humans survive through an existential threat ande out victorious, they would always be making propaganda videos, dances and even films to further amplify their sess.

    Only through such measures could the ideology of those in the colonies be altered; they would be taught the glory of ying ultra beasts and undead zombies.

    So was Qin Feng going to be one of their propaganda pieces?

    He had already be a leader of a colony after all!

    Still, was such an incident enough to inspire the hearts of the masses?

    Soon after, the three went into discussion of how the reward was going to be distributed.

    To put it simply, Qin Feng now had the rights to develop the colony whilst Zheng Yang had the rights to investment. On the other hand, Xue Xingfu was handed the right to safeguard the colony. The final distribution of quantifiable rewards was set at thirty percent for Qin Feng, forty five percent for Zheng Yang and ten percent for Xue Xingfu while the remaining fifteen percent would remain liquid, to be further distributed to other newly established senior executives.

    The proportion of these benefits would inevitably change with the development of the colony and would be rearranged on a bi-anually basis.

    Qin Feng did not put too much importance on the rewards as a lot could happen within the span of six months. He could foresee so much change that these two in front of him could be left speechless the next time they met!

    He did not particrly care about the existence of this colony. However, because of the butterfly effect that resulted from him taking the Hell Stone, he could not help but feel a sense of obligation toward this entire matter.

    He must shoulder some responsibility on his part, somehow!

    One day, he would march forth into the unknown ne andpletely eradicate the bogeymen to restore peace on thisnd once and for all!

    <h4>Chapter 101: Going to Han Town</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°Alright. Since there¡¯s nothing else, then I¡¯m going to leave now!¡±

    Zheng Yang still had many matters to attend to, and it was not convenient to stay in the wild. The other affairs both needed Xue Xingfu and Qin Feng to handle.

    Qin Feng had a lot of experience when it came to the future. He did not want to have to worry too much about the construction of the colony, but at the same time he was not nning on not showing any interest in the matter. He decided to deliberate on this with Xue Xingfu.

    ¡°Right, old boy, about our base. What¡¯s the direction of our main development in the future?¡± Xue Xingfu suddenly said.

    For newly established colonies, the most important thing was poption. What Xue Xingfu was asking was how they were going to develop the poption.

    Qin Feng looked at Xue Xingfu and thought about how the other party would be the topmost unscrupulous businessman of the imperial capital ten years in the future.

    Qin Feng suddenly smiled. ¡°We can just develop the economy. Let Fengli colony be the most famous business district. How do you feel about it bing amercialized city in the future?¡±

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Oh I like this!¡±

    Qin Feng thought to himself, ¡®Of course you like it, you¡¯re the most famous business shark.¡¯

    ¡°Although it¡¯s a developing business district, the benefits that are being issued cannot be changed, it should be more attractive, as for people with technical talents... I¡¯ll think of a way!¡±

    In this doomsday-like world, the most useful skills were nothing more than three types: gun manufacturing, rune equipment manufacturing and agricultural abilities.

    Having the knowledge of the next ten years in the future, Qin Feng knew about the existence of many talents.

    At the thought of this, Qin Feng¡¯s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

    ¡®Right on time. Take advantage of this moment and bring Uncle Liu back!¡¯

    Qin Feng thought for a moment, but he did not speak his mind. After discussing with Xue Xingfu, he ced the matters of the future in the other party¡¯s hands.

    Then, he returned to the frontlines.

    ¡°Qin Feng, everything here¡¯s all done. The college car¡¯s going to go back!¡± Zhou Hao said.

    Qin Feng nodded, saying, ¡°Okay, you go back first. I¡¯m nning to go somewhere, see you in the Spring Hunting Garden in half a month!¡±

    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Zhou Hao did not expect Qin Feng to not want to go back to school.

    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it, it¡¯s too dangerous to bring you along. Just chill and go back to ss!¡± Qin Feng knew what the other party was going to say the moment Zhou Hao said those words.

    ¡°Forget it, I¡¯m not gonna be a lightbulb. I¡¯m gone!¡± Zhou Hao gave Qin Feng a disdainful look and returned to his car. Following his retreating back, Qin Feng saw that Lu Meng was sitting shotgun in the car.

    Qin Feng rubbed his chin, musing. ¡°I wonder who¡¯s the one paying more attention to lovers than friends?¡±

    In actual fact, Qin Feng had misunderstood Zhou Hao. In the backseat of Zhou Hao¡¯s car, there sat a certain Li Yaoyao.

    After that group of people left, Qin Feng also started up his hovercar but proceeded in the opposite direction of the northern colony.

    ***

    In the wilderness, the narrow road gradually widened and guard towers had started to appear every hundred meters. This meant that the colony was starting to get closer!

    Finally, a dpidated city wall loomed into view, but even from a distance it did not look as good as Chengbei colony. The scale only reached that of a small town.

    Han Town* was an extremely ordinary looking town, only just a small, independent colony. The city district in charge was too far from it, gradually making this ce its own independent world.

    There was nothing to be done to help such a remote ce!*

    The mayor of Han Town was just an F8 tier ancient warrior, but in Han Town this was already the strongest fighting power!

    Even though it was just a humble town, it was surprisingly lively.

    As Qin Feng drove through the streets of Han Town, the people around looked at his car with surprise and envy. He eventually stopped in front of a store that had the words ¡®Zhenshan Equipment Store¡¯ written on its signboard.

    The people passing by finally understood what was happening.

    ¡°This guy¡¯s not here to chase Liu Xie too, is he?¡±

    ¡°This one¡¯s got a bit of strength!¡±

    ¡°That car¡¯s so cool. It must have been bought in other colonies, we don¡¯t have those here!¡±

    Qin Feng heard the surrounding words and smiled slightly. Liu Xue?

    He had only seen her a few times, an extremely haughty woman. Shame her time came early.

    Qin Feng once came to Han Town before he was reborn after fleeing from the orphanage. He had not been here for more than a month when the spatial rift creatures invaded, bringing the whole town into a desperate situation.

    Liu Xue, who was an F-rank aptitude user was outside of the walls as Qin Feng and Uncle Liu were breaking through. He did not see her return, for all he knew, she must have died during that battle.

    ¡°We should get out of the car, this is the ce!¡± Qin Feng opened the car door and those eagerly waiting had their eyes lit up as they caught sight of him.

    In just a short one and a half months, Qin Feng¡¯s bone structure had rapidly changed, his body height had reached one point eight meters, smoothly d in the high end T7bat uniform worth 150,000 yuan. One could tell that he was of high value with just one look, making Qin Feng seem more upright and full of energy.

    Seeing him, the people were full of admiration. So young and handsome. Yet, as their eyes fell upon the aptitude badge on his chest, they were stunned.

    Turns out it was just a G-tier aptitude badge. Moreover, there was not even a suffix. This badge was only recently certified! It was at that moment that everyone felt that the kid in front of them overestimated his own capabilities.

    Qin Feng did not care about other people¡¯s opinions. After he got out of the car, Bai Li followed suit. Even with a pair of shades and a hat, she was still very eye-catching. Not to mention the way Bai Li gracefully held Qin Feng¡¯s arms as the two walked into the store.

    This time, the onlookers felt that they had misunderstood him! After all, if he really dide to pursue Liu Xue, how could he still bring another girl and be so intimate with her at that?

    Qin Feng decidedly ignored the crowd of empty-headed gawkers and his eyes went to the Zhenshan equipment store. He felt as if his memory had just been revived.

    The windows were clear and the store had arge storefront. There was a leaflet on the ss door which read that it was recruiting staff, with food and amodation covered.

    At the time, Qin Feng was seriously injured and had no strength. Without any other options, he rode in a car and reached Han Town with no help and nobody to rely on. This job suited him perfectly.

    However, he would not be able to do it this time around.

    Qin Feng walked through the door.

    Liu Zhenshan was sitting at the boss¡¯s chair, realizing that a customer had entered the door, he nced his way. At that moment he knew that a rich man had juste along!

    ¡°What would the customer like to order?¡± Liu Zhenshan greeted him with a smile before the staff could approach him. Qin Feng hurriedly nodded and said, ¡°I want to reverse-refine a piece of equipment. Do you have that kind of tech?¡±

    ¡°Of course. I can ept a private offer here, refining is a trivial matter. I graduated as a runesmith major. My father was a senior runesmith! Pity he went so early!¡± Uncle Liu said with a smile.

    Qin Feng smiled back, evidently Uncle Liu was bragging but he did not expose him.

    ¡°Well, this is what needs to be refined!¡±

    Qin Feng took out the armor of the Emperor Knight!

    Trantor¡¯s Notes:

    The name ¡®Han Town¡¯ when directly tranted from the Chinese characters also means ¡®Cold Town¡¯. Localization name could possibly be Coldton.

    Tranted from the term ¡®Ìì¸ß»ÊµÛÔ¶!¡¯ which is a saying that means ¡®It can¡¯t be helped!¡±

 Chapter 102 - Crystal Shell Beast

    <h4>Chapter 102: Crystal Shell Beast</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    The armor appeared to be severely deformed, Qin Feng had taken it out from a spatial rune ring on his finger.

    With the points obtained from hunting down the Corpse Corps, Qin Feng had exchanged them for the spatial rune equipment in order to disguise Bai Li¡¯s identity as a spatial ability user.

    Besides, it also seemed more convenient.

    As soon as the armor of the Emperor Knight appeared, Liu Zhenshan raised both his eyebrows.

    This was obviously designed by intelligent creatures from the parallel world. Without the light emitting from it generated by fusion via modern technology, it seemed simple and unadorned. The fusion material seemed to be at least beast king tier.

    That meant that after refinement, a part of it would be missing but the material remaining would definitely be on the tier of a beast king.

    How much was a piece of king-tier material? F-tier would be tens of millions at the least.

    Although his rune equipment storage wasrge and had many goods, he did not have tens of millions of working capital.

    ¡°Uh, you really want me to reverse-refine this here?¡±

    Was it not a better idea to hand it over to a bigpany with high-end precision technology and have it refined there? Otherwise it would be easy to lose some materials.

    ¡°Small stores have the benefit of being small stores. Do you have the skill for this or not?¡± Qin Feng said.

    Liu Zhenshan immediately understood what he meant, it seemed that Qin Feng wanted to keep this a secret, maybe the origin of the armor was unknown. Liu Zhenshan thought he had found the answer, naturally he would not want to miss out on such a bill.

    ¡°Yes, the cost of refining is now estimated to be 8 million, and a deposit of one-tenth is required! Your shipment will be within three days!¡± Liu Zhenshan said.

    ¡°Good!¡± Qin Feng nodded and agreed, signing a contract with the other party, paid the deposit and left hismunicator number before going out. However, instead of stepping into the hovercar, he entered the hotel next door.

    The hotel proprietress looked to be around thirty seven years old, a very young age, but Qin Feng knew that this was Liu Xue¡¯s mother and Liu Zhenshan¡¯s wife, Qiao Yan.

    The hotel and rune equipment store just now upied a lot of space. The house above the rune equipment store was also a hotel suite. Without the strength of their background, they would not have been this wealthy.

    The status of an F-tier ancient warrior in this town should not be questioned. Although Liu Xue was only twenty years old, yet with F-tier strength, it would be higher than Xue Xingfu¡¯s status in Chengbei colony!

    In the hotel room, Qin Feng slipped into cultivation.

    After consuming countless elixirs, Qin Feng¡¯s internal forces had reached F4-tier. Though in thest battle, two ancient warriors had their internal powers absorbed by Qin Feng, andbined with the exchanged potions, Qin Feng had built up a lot of internal energy.

    It was just that his dantian was wider now, it did not matter if he did not refine for the time being.

    Now that he was in a safe ce, in order to prevent something from suddenly changing in the future, Qin Feng intended to condense and devour it.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    The mist-like internal forces of the two ancient warriors that were absorbed in thest battle began to strengthen Qin Feng¡¯s body. The internal energy was repossessed and then integrated into Qin Feng¡¯s dantian.

    F4 tier!

    Although the ce where the internal force upied in the dantian was F4 tier, the number was ten times stronger than an ordinary F4 ancient warrior!

    Then, Qin Feng took out two sets of bones! There was no doubt where these bones came from, one was from the Emperor Knight and the other from the Dark-Robed Ripper. The Dark-Robed Ripper had very little loot, the crystal core was taken by Qin Feng, unbeknownst to the others. In the end, everyone was fighting over the rune equipment cloak that still had some abilities despite being ruined by Qin Feng. This only left the bones for Qin Feng.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    The absorption skill surged forth once more, this time, Qin Feng clearly felt his bones continue to strengthen.His bones¡¯ color began to darken into a shade of metallic ck.

    In fact, these two sets of bones were not like that person¡¯s palm. The volume of the palm was too small and even after strengthening, only some potential was brought out.

    On the contrary, these two king-tier bones definitely felt like something more solidified. After the absorption, Qin Feng¡¯s bone could be fully strengthened.

    Pop pop!

    Qin Feng¡¯s body made a loud noise, if his calction were on point, he had grown one centimeter taller and had reached about a hundred and eight one cm!

    ¡°Hoo!¡±

    Qin Feng opened his eyes and felt that his body possessed an incredible power. The strength of his bones was probably that of beast kings. To say that Qin Feng was a humanoid beast king at this point was no mere exaggeration.

    Finally, Qin Feng took out the crystal core of the Dark-Robed Ripper.

    After some meditation, his consciousness had also reached F3-tier. While it was not as strong as an ancient warrior¡¯s, it was enough.

    It was getting dark. Qin Feng and Xiao Bai went downstairs to the hall to eat. The lobby downstairs had a buffet. People were gathered in groups of three to five, the voices from conversations wereing one after the other.

    A fringe town not so far from the frontlines should not be having so many guests!

    ¡°Damn it, who said that there is a crystal shell beast here? Putting me on a wild goose chase!¡±

    ¡°Not even a shadow!¡±

    ¡°The colonists here probably made it up so they¡¯d drag us here for business!¡±

    ¡°They wouldn¡¯t dare!¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t someone say they saw one outside the walls yesterday?¡±

    ¡°Hmph, it¡¯s not a fake!¡±

    Qin Feng did not need to listen in too closely to figure out what they were talking about. The crystal shell beast was a very special kind of ultra beast that could devour minerals and convert them into energy for its body. Its body was the color of transparent crystal.

    The most important thing was that the beast¡¯s energy core was a very strong synthetic material. Adding it to a rune equipment could give said rune equipment the capacity for continuous strengthening capabilities.

    For example, making the Verdant Emperor Saber shift from a G-tier weapon to an F-tier weapon would require adding advanced materials, but this kind of improvement was limited and would not exceed past D-tier.

    By that time, would it not be better to just swap for a new sword?

    What if Qin Feng were to add Star Steel to the Verdant Emperor Saber? At that time, even with refinement, a lot of Star Steel would be wasted. It would be better to add the core of the crystal shell beast then add in advanced materials. Therefore, the core of the crystal shell beast was not something that everyone found necessary but some people of high skills would buy it.

    Due to this, the value of a crystal shell beast¡¯s core could be raised up to 30 million. To normal F-tier ability users, it was almost like a free piece of pie.

    After all, not everyone was making the same amount of money as Qin Feng was.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, what do you want to eat? Get it yourself!¡± Qin Feng handed a te over to Bai Li. Bai Li did not care much for these kinds of food, having surveyed what was around her. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°Hubby, I want to eat chicken legs and chicken wings but they have none!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled, ¡°Don¡¯t be so picky, steaks are good too! Would you like to try them?¡±

    Before Bai Li could answer, an F-tier person nearby let out a weird soundingugh. ¡°Little girl, if your husband doesn¡¯t want to let you have chicken, I will. Follow me and I¡¯ll show you a big one tonight!¡±

    After saying so, the man erupted into a wretched fit ofughter.

    Qin Feng shot him a cold re.

 Chapter 103 - Sky Burning Sword Art

    <h4>Chapter 103: Sky Burning Sword Art</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    The man looked at Qin Feng without a single hint of fear, and he even had a goading expression on.

    He was thinking that Qin Feng was only a G-tier ability user.

    Qin Feng put his dinner te into Bai Li¡¯s hands, and suddenly reached his hand out toward the F-tier aptitude user.

    With a sneer on his face, the man raised his hand to stop it. ¡°Boy, you think...¡± Before he could finish, the power on Qin Feng¡¯s fist suddenly surged forth and the man¡¯s arm instantly snapped with a cracking sound. The fist did not lose momentum and mmed hard into the man¡¯s cheek, taking all of his words and beating him back with them.

    Plop!

    Several mrs were sent flying out of the mouth with that punch.

    Qin Feng striked again. This time it was a p and the man¡¯s head shifted to one side, his entire cheek having changed shape.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    One hit, and another row of teeth spattered out, along with foul blood, spat onto the ground.

    ¡°Your mouth stinks, it should be washed!¡± Qin Feng said coldly, withdrawing his hand! It was just two hits and almost all of his teeth were gone, this aptitude user was so enraged that one would understand why they sometimes referred to insanity as ¡®madness¡¯.

    Not only that, the aptitude user obviously did note alone, and three or four people suddenly stood up from the table next to him to helped him up.

    It was just that the beaten person was ever so furious, seeing Qin Feng turning his head to ignore the man as he took his te from Bai Li. Then he continued to fill it up with food. At that moment, the man was unable to restrain his anger.

    ¡°I¡¯m gunna kill you!¡± The man said with a garbled voice, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent and his body was rippling with inner force.

    ¡°Copsing Blow!¡±

    A huge wave of turbulence broke out. Even F-tier people would be seriously injured if this attack were to make contact with them.

    It seemed as if Qin Feng had eyes at the back of his head, and with a step, he did not seem to be swelling with internal force, yet he negated the iing force of the Copsing Blow.

    Bang! Qin Feng struck his foot out, connecting with the aptitude user¡¯srge belly.

    After one kick, the aptitude user was sent tumbling along the aisle and he flew up to twenty meters, hitting the wall with a bang.

    ¡°Ahh!¡± The man grabbed at his stomach, coughing outrge amounts of blood.

    The three people who came to help all stopped and looked at Qin Feng with surprise. After all, they knew the strength of theirpanion. Copsing Blow was an extremely strong and fast parallel training explosive move. Yet it was broken by the opponent.

    Not only that, the man could not resist the opponent¡¯s kick at all so they could deduce that his internal force was stronger than theirpanion¡¯s.

    ¡°We didn¡¯t know who we were messing with! Uh, see you!¡± One of them counseled. They decided that meal time was over and went over with the other two to hoist up theirpanion, obviously going to go look for a doctor.

    Qin Feng had lost his appetite, and the ground was covered in blood. The smell was overbearing and unpleasant.

    ¡°Forget this, we¡¯re going back to eat!¡±

    Qin Feng left with Bai Li, and the people who witnessed all of this in the restaurant made a mental note to remember the two of them.

    ¡°Turns out, there are people like this who pretend to be weaker than they are to trick the stronger ones and wear a G-tier aptitude user badge. Do they intentionally want to get bullied?¡±

    ¡°Next time we see him, just hide!¡±

    ¡°Maybe he¡¯s looking for the crystal shell beast too!¡±

    All of a sudden, these people began to fear the consequences of crossing Qin Feng.

    ***

    He simply returned to their room with Bai Li and called room service. ¡°One te of chicken wings and legs. Okay, good!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s innocent eyes looked at Qin Feng. ¡°Why did you fight him just now, is it wrong for me to eat chicken? Didn¡¯t you say I could eat whatever I want?¡± She pouted.

    Qin Feng reached out to pinch the other¡¯s little mouth, so soft that others would want to take a bite. ¡°You¡¯ll understandter!¡±

    Although in actual fact people teasing Bai Li made Qin Feng extremely angry, remembering the scene from before only made his blood boil.

    ¡°What does that mean? Foxes get curious too!¡± Bai Li puffed her cheeks up angrily.

    ¡°Well, the question is too profound. Let¡¯s discuss something simpler.¡± Qin Feng leaned over and sealed Bai Li¡¯s lips with his. It tasted really good, soft and bouncy!

    He was inseparable from her. When the doorbell rang for the meal delivery, he reluctantly let go of Bai Li.

    The door opened and the person pushing the dining cart was actually a pretty young woman in her twenties.

    Liu Xue!

    Thebat uniform d Liu Xue bore a cold expression, the F3-tier logo on her chest was the most eye catching thing.

    ¡°Sir, this is the food you ordered. By the way, you fought that other aptitude user tonight which has seriously affected the operation of my hotel and damaged many dishes. The damages will be ced on your bill. Do you have any problems with that, Sir?¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°None.¡±

    Money was not an issue to him, the aptitude user had his teeth punched out by him and crashed into the food. With so many witnesses, the food had to be reced!

    The dishes did not cost that much money, Qin Feng was willing to pay the price.

    ¡°That is good. Thank you for your cooperation. If you can, I hope Sir doesn¡¯t do something like this again the next time!¡± Liu Xue said politely, but there was a threat hidden in her tone. If Qin Feng were to start anything again, she would take action.

    ¡°So long as nobody starts anything with me!¡± Qin Feng said coldly, he was not one to quietly listen to threats.

    Liu Xue said, dissatisfied, ¡°If you did not take your wife out, it would not turn out like this. If she does not havebat effectiveness, put her in a safe ce instead of actually bringing her out. Are things not troublesome enough for you!?¡±

    Qin Feng was speechless.

    ¡°Miss. This is my own business.¡±

    ¡°Hmph! Scumbag!¡± Liu Xue snorted, looking at Qin Feng with contempt and pushed the dining cart away!

    Qin Feng was speechless, this Liu Xue was really unreasonable. Just how was he the scumbag? For the sake of Uncle Liu, Qin Feng did not want to push it.

    The next day, Qin Feng got up and took Bai Li for a walk among the flowerbeds in the backyard of the hotel in the morning, at the same time holding the Verdant Emperor Saber while pondering deeply.

    ¡°Ancient warriors in the F-tier also have martial art skills. Perhaps I should practice today? Oh right, before rebirth, I also obtained Sky Burning Sword Art. I should try that!¡±

    The requirements of Sky Burning Sword Art were also particrly high. The internal energy must be activated in a special method that activated the important acupoints in the body, showing the fire within the internal force,bining it with the sword art to activate a supernatural me-based ability.

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart jumped for a moment. ¡°Since I have fire ability,bining that with Sky Burning Sword Art, I don¡¯t know how strong the effect will be!¡±

    With that, Qin Feng called on his internal force and poured out the fire runes. In an instant, the Verdant Emperor Saber was ignited.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡± The most basic technique of the art exhibited by Qin Feng was extremely powerful.

    ¡°Once more! Lets make some fireworks!¡±

    A ray of burning light like a semi-circle red up, refracting light from the de like a blooming flower of fire. It really was fireworks.

    <h4>Chapter 104: Spatial Fracture</h4>

    Qin Feng wanted to keep training but hismunicator started making beeping noises.

    [Important announcement, a special ultra beast has appeared approximately 923 meters from your current location. Please take note! Please take note!]

    Qin Feng looked at the prompt on hismunicator and he momentarily froze.

    It was here! The so-called special ultra beast was the crystal shell beast.

    The beast had eaten some ores and passed by Han Town, the parties hunting the creature down would not give it the time to continue feeding. Moreover, the crystal shell beast was not just a beast capable of mining, it was an insectoid.

    A flying insectoid.

    Without the chance of finding more food, thergest source of energy in Han Town would be the spatial stabilizing device!

    This would be how the tragedy of Han Town began. The crystal shell beast would eat the spatial stabilizing device, causing a rift to appear and plunging the entire town into chaos.

    ¡°If the crystal shell beast were immobilized, then Han Town wouldn¡¯t fall like it did in the past. If so, Uncle Liu probably wouldn¡¯te with me this time around!¡± Qin Feng thought to himself.

    However, after giving it another thought, Qin Feng decided that he would bring down the crystal shell beast.

    ¡°Even if it were for the crystal shell beast alone, the time spenting here wouldn¡¯t be wasted. I can alwayse back again for Uncle Liu when I be stronger in the future. In this doomsday era, who would want to be drifters anyway? Han Town is Uncle Liu¡¯s home after all!¡±

    With that finalized thought, Qin Feng had made up his mind. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go and see how mystical this crystal shell beast is!¡±

    Qin Feng grabbed Bai Li, leaping over some houses and raced through the streets, rushing toward the location of the crystal shell beast.

    As he closed the distance, more aptitude users began to appear. These people naturally heard the news and wanted to catch the crystal shell beast for themselves!

    ¡°Haha! I¡¯ve traveled so far only to find it so easily. I didn¡¯t expect the beast to appear in town!

    ¡°This will be a pit of regret in the guts of those that went out to search for it!¡±

    ¡°By the time they get back, the crystal shell beast would be ours!¡±

    ¡°Lads, watch out for others!¡±

    ¡°Whoever wants to steal this from us, take them down!¡±

    In the surrounding area, there were teams of three to five on guard against each other, their eyes filled with hostile intent. Fieldpetition was amon thing!

    Of course, those who had been running to the central square of the town found that the prompt on theirmunicators was showing that the crystal shell beast was about two hundred meters away from them. This made them very confused.

    At this time, the F-rank aptitude users en-site numbered to more than fifty! Among them included Liu Zhengshan¡¯s daughter, Liu Xue.

    ¡°Where¡¯s the beast?¡± Everyone was puzzled. Only Qin Feng suddenly opened up the hidden gliding wings on his back.

    Whoosh!

    ¡°Up!¡± Qin Feng took a step and suddenly jumped up to the height of three stories high. The gliding wings jittered as the energy system was activated, and the wind runes sent Qin Feng rocketing through the sky.

    HIs actions naturally drew the attention of the people nearby, at the same time, they seemed to have realized something.

    ¡°In the sky!¡±

    At this time, there were people within the gigantic spatial stabilizing device, they had received a prompt about the crystal shell beast that was getting closer.

    Crink crink!

    These people heard a noise and an rm sounded throughout the entire spatial stabilizing device.

    [The exterior of the spatial stabilizing device has been damaged, please repair it as soon as possible!]

    Under the sunlight, the basin sized crystal shell beast was like arge diamond, reflecting a kaleidoscopic light.

    As soon as Qin Feng flew closer to the spatial stabilizing device, he found the location of the beast.

    The spatial stabilizing device was huge. It had a disc in the center that was fifty meters long. There were three channels connected to the disc, and they extended in three directions from the disc. The spatial stabilizing device was like a fan that had been fit above the entire Han Town.

    And now, the crystal shell beast was on one of the fan wings, nibbling at the shell. It was located directly where the energy device was stored.

    ¡°Get off!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber pierced toward the crystal shell beast¡¯s direction. The crystal shell beast sensed impending danger and immediately opened up its wings to evade Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    At where it once was, translucent energy seeped out of arge hole. Even on the outside, Qin Feng could hear the rming from within.

    ¡°Quickly! Empty the energy fluid for now so we can repair the external shell!¡±

    ¡°Open the top hatch!¡±

    ¡°Hurry! The spatial device isn¡¯t stable!¡±

    The crystal shell beast circled the spatial stabilizing device and Qin Feng stood by the hole it made, refusing to leave.

    At this time, a maintenance personnel hade out from the inside with tools in his hands. After seeing Qin Feng, he was a bit surprised.

    ¡°Who are you?¡±

    ¡°Do we even have time for this? Hurry up and fix the stabilizer!¡± Qin Feng barked.

    Buzz! The crystal shell beast suddenly swooped down. It was indeed a special kind of ultra beast, while it did not have high strength it was high in value and also an F-tier beast. It still had some attack capabilities.

    The outward appearance of the crystal shell beast resembled that of a beetle, a scarab to be precise. Its wings buzzed quietly and relentlessly. As the beast was transparent, it could assimte other colors around it to hide its trace. That was how it got to the spatial stabilizing device without being detected when it passed through the air defense system.

    In midair, the crystal shell beast disappeared instantly and when it appeared again it was already behind the maintenance staff who was holding a tool!

    Qin Feng reached his opponent¡¯s side in a sh, swinging his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Ahh!¡± The worker did not expect Qin Feng to be so fast, and he started to move forward, believing that he was about to be killed and tried to evade the attack, slipping and flopping onto the surface. Not only that, the tool fell off the spatial stabilizing device.

    ng!

    Qin Feng¡¯s saber and the beast¡¯s wings collided with one another.

    The wings of the crystal shell beast were as hard as steel. Although the Verdant Emperor Saber was made out of G-tier material, it was not enough to cut through its wings!

    Of course, this time he blocked the beast from beheading the worker! When the worker saw this, he had yet to realize that this person hade to help. The real culprit behind the damage to the spatial stabilizing device was the crystal shell beast!

    ¡°Tools. The tools! I need to go get them!¡± The man hurriedly said and started to crawl away.

    At this time, two people with gliding wings were flying up. Upon spotting the crystal shell beast, they hollered excitedly.

    Rattatatat!

    One of them was obviously a long-ranged gunner. When he saw the crystal shell beast, he fired immediately.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression turned sour.

    A volley of bullets flew out, spitting sparks of me and ignited the energy fluid instantly! The energy fluid was used to supply the spatial stabilizing device. Qin Feng¡¯s floating tank also used the same fluid.

    It was extremely mmable.

    Qin Feng kicked off and flew away, no longer caring about the crystal shell beast or the people after it.

    ¡°Retarded bunch!¡± Qin Feng had other viciously colorful choice words to use on those people at that time.

    Boom!

    Hundred meters up, there was a huge explosion! The energy tank of the spatial stabilizing device had exploded.

    This was not like the small spark that exploded randomly in Chengbei colony. The entire huge spatial stabilizing device in the sky exploded into two sections, split apart right down the middle.

    Creak!

    One of the sted out fan wings of the spatial stabilizing device began to tilt, the circuits crackled and there were fewer and fewer connected parts.

    ¡°Run!¡±

    The people below watched as therge spatial stabilizing wing fell and shouted out in unison.

    Those within the buildings below did not expect a disaster like this to ur and it was toote to avoid it.

    Even Qin Feng could not do anything at this point.

    Boom!

    The fan wing of the spatial stabilizing device crashed into a tall building, instantly causing it to crumble and fall.

    Not only that, the spatial stabilizing device with two fan wings left slowly began to tilt, and the suspension device could no longer carry such a heavy object. Besides that, the device had just lost one of its corners and could no longer be held intact.

    The rate of descent was getting faster and faster, people had absolutely no time to stop it.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, lets go!¡± Qin Feng shouted.

    Bai Li appeared next to Qin Feng instantly and the two disappeared together. Amidst the chaos, nobody noticed Qin Feng.

    Another explosion ruptured in the air and the huge stabilizing device crashed downward toward the central square.

    The spatial stabilizing device was definitely the most sophisticated instrument and it was also of great value. However, this did not mean that it had sturdy defenses. Quite the contrary, in order to conserve energy, the device itself had almost no defense. After all, the town had a spatial rm and a protective outeryer, but if there were an aerial threat, severe damage would be inevitable.

    Nobody expected Han Town to be infiltrated by a crystal shell beast with a high stealth ability, and that the spatial stabilizing device would be destroyed by a brainless gunner.

    Qin Feng did not know if the disaster in his previous life was caused by this, but he would have immediately killed the gunner if he had known something like this would happen.

    The destruction of the spatial stabilizing device was an unexpected disaster.

    Many were still at a loss, but the copsing tower caused by the explosion caused the scene to be in total chaos.

    The town¡¯s garrison troop and patrols appeared one after another. Not only that, a violent and most definitely angry figure had appeared.

    It was the strongest person in Han Town, Mayor Shi Tianhai*.

    ¡°Who! Who did this?!¡±

    Shi Tianhai could not believe it all. The spatial stabilizing device!

    It was the foundation of the town!

    He let out a cry of rage that was cut short as a rift opened up in ce of the spatial stabilizing device. The rift seemed to have torn the sky apart, ripping straight through the sky toward the ground with a height of one hundred meters and a width of ten meters.

    [Beep beep...]

    Without needing to look at it, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator vibrated violently. Not only that, the whole of Han Town had received the news.

    In that moment, arge swarm of monsters flooded out. Qin Feng, who was closer, turned pale at the sight. This was like what he saw in his past life, and it brought back those deep fears of such imagery.

    The first wave of assault were fast-moving blood-thirsty beetles. The battering buzz of wings continuously sounded out, and they pounced upon those that were still running around and began their feeding frenzy.

    It was an F-tier insectoid beast. Not only that, it was an F5-tier insectoid beast and they came in groups!

    The F-tier aptitude users in the central square were the first ones to bear the assault.

    ¡°Open fire! Suppression fire! Don¡¯t let theme any closer, retreat!¡± Someone shouted among the crowd.

    A gunner was quickly caught up by the attacks, he wildly fired his submachine gun. However, the speed of these blood-thirsty beetles were too fast. Kill one and another one would rece it.

    Soon, the gunner was knocked to the ground by a blood-thirsty beetle, and at the next moment, three beetles were pressed against each other and a one-meter-long tube protruded from the beetle¡¯s mouth into the body of the gunner.

    ¡°Ahhhh!!!¡±

    The gunner screamed, but the blood in his body was quickly sucked away and he no longer had the strength to struggle.

    Such a scene was happening everywhere.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes swept around and he saw Liu Xue¡¯s figure. He could not prevent Han Town from getting zerged by insectoids, so naturally he had to stand out to help Liu Xue.

    At this time, Liu Xue was fighting while retreating. There were two blood-thirsty beetles on her tail and were refusing to be shaken loose. In order to not be injured, Liu Xue could not just make a desperate run for it.

    It was at that moment when a huge fireball roared out from the side, centering on the blood-thristy beetles.

    Boom!

    The blood-thristy beetles were immediately flung away, bursting into mes andnding on the ground, no longer moving.

    Liu Xue looked in surprise at the direction from where the mes came. She knew that someone had used the fire to help her, it was just that she did not expect that someone to be Qin Feng out of all people.

    Qin Feng took a few steps toward the remaining blood-thristy beetle, brandishing the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Fire runes were wrapped around the Verdant Emperor Saber, suddenly adding a full meter to it. It looked like it had doubled in size. The mes of the de licked at the blood-thristy beetle and sliced it in half in a sh!

    There was no blooding from the wound, but instead a meaty fragrance.

    ¡°Thank you!¡± Liu Xue quickly said.

    ¡°No time for thank yous, go back quickly. The situation doesn¡¯t look good!¡± Qin Feng hurriedly said.

    ¡°Right!¡± Liu Xue gave a hard, affirmative nod. This time, other than the huge rift that had opened up in the center of town, there were smaller rifts opening up all over the ce. Liu Xue would naturally be anxious.

    Who knew what was going on right now?

    Qin Feng and Liu Xue continued their retreat and at this time, Liu Xue looked at Bai Li in surprise. She thought that Bai Li was just an ordinary person, but the other party was not a slouch in terms of speed and seemed to be able to keep up with rtive ease, with not a trace of panic on her.

    Now, even Mayor Shi Tianhai had run away without a trace.

    When the crack had appeared, the surroundings were filled with a chaotic crowd of fleeing civilians. Cars crowded the main road and had been blocked by a car ident. Nobody was getting out.

    ¡°Ahh!¡± Someone cried out, having been bitten on the leg by a ck steel bug.

    ¡°Save me, please, save me!¡± He was asking for help from those around him, and after seeing Qin Feng and Liu Xue, he immediately yelled.

    ¡°Captain Liu! Captain Liu, save me!¡±

    As the captain of one of Han Town¡¯s patrol branches and a young, powerful woman with beautiful looks, everyone in town recognized her.

    Liu Xue hesitated for a moment, but stopped, taking out her energy gun and sted the man¡¯s foot.

    The ck steel bug loosened its mandibles and the man was released. His foot looked like it was almost bitten off and was desperate for a while. Then he saw Captain Liu and he felt that there was still hope. He quickly grabbed onto Liu Xue¡¯s heel.

    ¡°Captain Liu, you can¡¯t leave me behind. It¡¯s too dangerous here, and we can¡¯t leave the town. Let¡¯s find shelter and wait for rescue!¡±

    Trantor¡¯s note: Mayor Shi Tianhai¡¯s name in Chinese characters ¡®Ê¯Ììº£¡¯ directly trantes to mean ¡®Rock Sky Sea¡¯. An undoubtedly ambitious and badass name.

    Due to the risk of invasion from the spatial rift, there was abination of underground shelters, reinforced car parks and military-grade,rge-scale underground bunkers beneath every city in order to ensure that people could take refuge when all hell broke loose.

    And it was during such a situation that Liu Xue was somehow bogged down by indecisiveness!

    This happened as a group of people stumbled upon Liu Xue and started gathering around her.

    ¡°Those in the patrol team, squad leader Liu¡¯s over here!¡±

    ¡°Quick, go over to the leader¡¯s side, we¡¯ll be under her protection!¡±

    In mere moments, a crowd had materialised around Liu Xue!

    As if the timing could not be any worse, a pissed off group of de mantises were crawling quickly toward the cluster of human beings. Some let out blood-curdling screams at the sight of the monsters, more courageous ones chose to run for it and the rest, whose legs went limp as the predators approached, shrunk behind Liu Xue¡¯s frame. There was even someone who was pushing Liu Xue forward, as if presenting her as a sacrifice into the gaping jaws of the de mantises.

    However, it quickly became apparent that these G3-tier de mantises were not that powerful of a foe. With a few swift strikes from Liu Xue, they went down like the bugs they were and the mass of people were protected. However, this only caused the group of people surrounding her to grow everrger.

    It seemed that this group of people intended to get Liu Xue to escort them to the underground shelter at the nearby supermarket.

    Seeing the current situation Liu Xue was in, Qin Feng finally understood how she died in the previous life!

    ¡°Liu Xue, think about your parents. They¡¯re both regr civilians. If you choose to stay here at this time, who¡¯s gonna take care of them in the days toe?¡± Qin Feng asked bluntly.

    A look of unease shed across Liu Xue¡¯s face though it was obvious that Qin Feng¡¯s words precisely mirrored her worries.

    How could she leave her defenseless parents behind? It was impossible.

    At the same time, it was these people that clung on stubbornly to Liu Xue, refusing to let her go.

    ¡°Are you even human? How can one be so selfish? Why on earth would you let the squad leader go?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, in such a crisis, letting her go would put our lives on the line!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m pretty damn sure that Liu Zhenshan¡¯s ce has got an underground shelter. There¡¯s still gonna be plenty of time left for her and her parents after these bugs are dealt with first!¡±

    Amotion spread like wildfire amongst the people.

    Qin Feng sneered viciously and silenced the crowd by delivering a powerful kick to the side of a car, scaring the wits out of the protesters.

    ¡°Not one more word from any of your mouths!¡±

    Qin Feng roared coldly.

    The power from his mere threat was enough to cause dizziness among some in the crowd.

    ¡°If you want to live, stop spewing nonsense. On your feet and keep up with me. Whoever that dares to give stray orders will be struck down without mercy with this gun in my hand!¡±

    Qin Feng produced an energy ster and pointed it in the general direction of the crowd.

    Seeing the gun alone was more than enough to stun the masses. However, some who noticed the G-tier aptitude user badge pinned on Qin Feng¡¯s chest started giving disdainful looks. It was apparent that they were not taking Qin Feng seriously.

    ¡°Who even are you? Ya think ya can protect us? Well, aren¡¯t you a cocky one?¡±

    ¡°Damn right! We were talking to our squad leader. How dare you butt into our discussion!¡±

    ¡°Squad leader Liu, is he your underling? Isn¡¯t he nning to abandon us? Just who does he think he is...¡±

    As Han Town was a rtively small ce, some of these people literally watched over Liu Xue as she was growing up, hence exining why they rightfully felt that they deserved her protection. After all was said and done, these people felt a lingering fear in their hearts, fear that Liu Xue would run off. This was why they clustered around her, clinging onto her stubbornly, refusing to let her go.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression darkened and he said out loud in a cynical tone, ¡°Liu Xue, it matters little to me whether or not you want to stay or if you want to leave with me. I still have a rune equipment waiting for me back at uncle Liu¡¯s ce so I will have to go back there regardless. If that were not the case, I wouldn¡¯t have saved you back then. If you feel obligated to stay and protect these people, then by all means go ahead. In fact, I¡¯ll notify your father of your death in advance when I meet him!¡±

    Liu Xue was shaken to the core by Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    From the time Liu Xue spent with Qin Feng, she already understood how pivotal his role was for their survival. If the group were left with her alone to fend against the enemy, there was no doubt that their days would be numbered. Even if one could sessfully escape, the chance to live and see another day was miniscule. Their lifelineid within Qin Feng.

    With this in mind, Liu Xue brushed off her indecisiveness and replied quickly, ¡°Qin Feng, I¡¯ll listen to what you have to say. Those who still treasure their lives, follow us! My ce isn¡¯t too far away! It¡¯s only three blocks down so get your act together!¡±

    ¡°This...¡±

    The people started panicking at the sudden change in ns. Their worries, however, were briefly interrupted by the rumbling ground. Soon after, the cause of this ruckus introduced itself as a massive snail making its way around the corner of the street.

    That thing was at least four to five meters tall, reaching almost two stories in height. Right in front of its shell appeared two heads, oozing out and shrinking back in at an rming frequency. It was evidently able to absorb humans into its gut effortlessly given its size.

    It did not take a university graduate to recognise the beast that was making its way toward them, for illustrations of it were widely taught during high school.

    ¡°Steel-back Snail!¡±

    ¡°A double-headed mutant at that! It¡¯s a beast general!¡±

    In the blink of an eye, chaos erupted among the masses.

    Everyone present understood the ferocity of beast generals that were able to hold off against tenbatants at any given time. No matter how skilled Liu Xue was, resisting, let alone defeating this double-headed snail was practically impossible.

    ¡°Screw this! Run for it!¡±

    The group ran like madmen away from the iing attack.

    Run as they might but it was all futile. Despite it being a snail, the beast was able to crawl at an rming speed, moving significantly faster than your average human being.

    The surface beneath its foot seemed to have turned into a wave of sorts, enabling it to glide across the ground swiftly like a hovercraft.

    These people still had to avoid the cars that formed obstacles in their escape path. This however, posed little hindrance to the double-headed Steel-back Snail as it crushed anything and everything in its path.

    The double-headed steel-back snail outstretched one of its heads, and with its maw wide open, gobbled down one of the fleeing men into its gut.

    ¡°Arghh!¡±

    The man let out a helpless wail but was quickly silenced as he disappeared into the abyss that was its gut.

    ¡°Bastard!¡±

    Liu Xue raged as she struck the enemy with her palm.

    ¡°Subzero mmer!¡±

    While the force from her palms impacted like a raging river, it somehow slipped off from the steel-back snail¡¯s body and the beast shrugged off the attack unfazed.

    The enemy¡¯s body was coated in a slipperyyer of mucus. Liu Xue¡¯s attack merely scratched the itch of the beast.

    From Qin Feng¡¯s point of view, Liu Xue¡¯s impulsive attack was basically presenting her as takeout dinner for the snail. Seeing how little regard she had for her own life, he was at a loss for words.

    ¡°Han Town truly is blessed with an abundance of retards!¡±

    Qing Feng yelled out before rushing forward into the fray. As soon as he grabbed hold of Liu Xue¡¯s clothes, he pulled back with all the strength he could conjure up.

    His immense strength sent Liu Xue flying back into the background. A mere millisecondter, a meter-wide jaw snapped shut above where she once stood. If not for Qin Feng, her head would have been turned into snail feed in an instant.

    Despite seeing what would be its meal escape, the double-headed steel-back snail paid no heed to Liu Xue and instead contorted its grotesque, soft body and shifted its fury onto Qin Feng instead.

    Qin Feng smiled wryly and raised his arm above his head, revealing a shining sword.

    ¡°ming-tree silver blossom!¡±

    In an instant, a fan-shaped jet of me shot forth from Qin Feng. In the midst of the mes, the Verdant Emperor Saber shimmered in silver, just like a green flower within a firestorm.

    Booom!

    With a single attack, the tables had turned. The situation in which Liu Xue seemed so powerless against the enemy had now shifted in humanity¡¯s favour as both skulls of the steel-back snail plopped onto the ground.

    Thud! Thud!

    Two heavy skulls rolled across the ground, leaving a trail of transparent mucus-like substance. It was the blood of the snail.

    Once again, the Verdant Emperor Saber shone in the light before it swung down, slicing the tip of the enemy¡¯s skull off cleanly. Not long after, two goose egg-sized azure crystals appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s hands.

    These were the enemy¡¯s ability cores.

    <h4>Chapter 107: Not All Efforts Were Fruitless After All</h4>

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you moving? Are you nning to stay there forever?¡±

    Qin Feng snapped coldly. Still, he could not get past Liu Xue¡¯s mannerisms and how she dealt with things.

    How hesitant and irresolute!

    ¡°Ah! Right, right!¡±

    Liu Xue hastened to keep up with Qin Feng¡¯s pace. It was at this moment that her admiration and respect for Qin Feng had solidified.

    It was not just that. The civilians who were in hiding moments ago all came running out and trailed behind Qin Feng.

    With Qin Feng taking point, all was right with the world.

    These insectoids did not pose too much of a threat to the group. Qin Feng shed through them effortlessly while leading the way forward until they reached Liu Zhenshan¡¯s equipment store.

    The store was currently in tatters, with ss shards littering the ground. Within the store itself were three de mantises that somehow snuck their way in, unweed of course.

    Lying motionless on the ground, were two corpses. Liu Xue felt as if her heart had been ripped out of her chest and thrown off a cliff, down into a bottomless abyss.

    Even before Qin Feng could make his move, Liu Xue rushed forward and killed off those mantises with a few strikes from her palms.

    The good news was that neither of these two corpses belonged to Liu Zhenshan. Instead, one seemed to be Liu Zhenshan¡¯s storekeeper while the other was presumably a customer, a G-tier aptitude user at that.

    It was a shame, his fate dictated that he would lie here forever!

    ¡°Go to the basement first!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Right!¡± Liu Xue marched to the front and took over in leading the way even though Qin Feng hadplete knowledge about the building¡¯syout. While he followed the girl closely, the people behind him had other ideas in mind. Their eyes lit up at the sight of the abandoned store and picked up one or two pieces of loot as they went along their way.

    Thesebat equipment did a pretty good job at resisting attacks from ultra beasts. Though, in normal times, they were worth at least ten thousand yuan a piece and could reach up to a hundred thousand for a really good set, hence exining why nobody bought these items.

    Qin Feng paid no heed to the greedy bunch. Following Liu Xue, they arrived at an underground parking space where a secret door was found.

    At that moment, the door seemed to have been locked from the inside. Liu Xue rapped her knuckles loudly on the door.

    ¡°Dad, mom, are you still inside?¡±

    ¡°Liu Xue, little Xue¡¯s back!¡± Qiao Yan eximed in a delighted tone. Soon after, the heavy and imprable steel door groaned open, revealing the scene inside.

    Apart from Qiao Yan and Liu Zhenshan, there were three other women and a man, all of whom were employees of the store. They too ran out to check out themotion.

    The locked space was dimly lit but the thick, reinforced steel door gave everyone a sense of security, something hard toe by these days. Even before Qiao Yan could celebrate her daughter¡¯s return, the civilians from the other side swarmed into the safe space like rats down their burrow.

    Although the basement was a mandatory facility, it was quite obvious that it was not designed for public use. The total floor space avable was a mere hundred square meters and with the addition of twenty-odd people, the ce became packed to the brim in the blink of an eye.

    ¡°Quick, shut that door up!¡± Someone from the group urged.

    Qin Feng ignored them.

    ¡°Uncle Liu, where¡¯d you ce the equipment that I wanted refined?¡±

    Back then, Qin Feng was confident that he could have stopped the tragedy from urring and so he did not take with him the item in question. However, things rarely went ording to n as he had learntter on. Still, he did not wish to let a beast-king-tier item slip out of his grasp that easily.

    Liu Zhenshan appeared stunned, followed by his expression changing for the worse.

    ¡°Bad news, it¡¯s still inside the dposition furnace!¡± Liu Zhenshan replied.

    Qin Feng¡¯s brows furrowed before he continued, ¡°It¡¯s alright Uncle, we¡¯ll retrieve itter on. Be rest assured, as long as I¡¯m here, I will do my best to guarantee your safety. What¡¯s more is that the situation outside has taken a turn for the worse. We¡¯ll need food supplies, and I¡¯m afraid the rations here are not enough to support a group of this size!¡±

    Liu Zhenshan¡¯s expression turned dead serious upon hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words. His teeth remained tightly clenched before decisively saying, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go with you!¡±

    ¡°Honey! I beg of you, don¡¯t go out there!¡± Qiao Yan immediately blocked Liu Zhenshan¡¯s path and turned toward Qin Feng with teary eyes.

    ¡°Young man, how much money do you need? I¡¯m willing to pay whatever price you state but please, don¡¯t let my husband go out there!¡±

    ¡°Ma¡¯am, please calm down. I assure you that nothing will happen to Uncle Liu!¡±

    Liu Xue came in and patted her mother on the back as if to give her more assurance. ¡°Mom, what Qin Feng said is correct. Don¡¯t worry too much, it¡¯s the least you could do to maintain our morale. He¡¯s a seasoned veteran and without him, we would not have made it back here alive. Now it¡¯s our turn to wait here patiently for their return, alright?¡±

    Liu Zhenshan continued with a beaming expression, ¡°A businessman must be a man of his words! It¡¯s just a journey to a ce a few steps away and the material we¡¯re retrieving is worth up to a billion yuan! I cannot afford to lose this deal so you best stay out of my way!¡±

    With these words, Qiao Yan lost the argument. She had no choice but to be ushered back into the basement by Liu Xue.

    ¡°Xiao Li, you stay here too, I¡¯ll leave this ce under your care now!¡±

    Qin Feng left Xiao Bai inside the safety of the basement. Knowing that Qin Feng was not going to wander too far off, it nodded its head while flexing its paw back and forth, a gesture of waving goodbye.

    ¡°If there are any hups, ring me up!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled and replied, ¡°Of course! Rx, I¡¯ll call you when the need arises!¡±

    In actuality, the distance between the two was not going to be too far apart. Both of them could stillmunicate telepathically but owing to Bai Li¡¯s curiosity toward anything novel, even using themunicator came as something extremely fun.

    Without any more words exchanged, the steel door mped shut. And thus, the duo that was Qin Feng and Liu Zhenshan marched forward toward their destination.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go! The smelting facility¡¯s right behind the backyard. We¡¯ll go up there from this position!¡±

    Liu Zhenshan led the way and Qin Feng followed behind cautiously. Qin Feng worked here for half a month before his rebirth so it was not surprising that he already knew theyout of thend here.

    Soon, they went into the elevator of the car park which brought them up onto the surface.

    Thendscape above ground was in aplete mess. Though, this area did not seem to have been ravaged by the insectoids. Evidently the spread of insectoids was guided by the main trunk road so ces away from it were rtively unaffected.

    However, when Qin Feng arrived at the doorway of the smelting facility, his expression darkened.

    The smelting facility was an essential spot. Liu Zhenshan had always been here, forging rune equipment, so no one was allowed to get too close. The items stored here, regardless of whether it was material made from ultra beasts or automated machinery, were all of extremely high value. It followed that the defense system built in ce was extremely robust.

    So how was it possible that there was a massive half-meter-wide hole on the reinforced, anti-looting door?

    The anti-looting door was now like an optical illusion to Qin Feng. Taking aim, his foot smashed against the area right around where the door handle was, kicking the entire door frame down. The scene within was enough to make Qin Feng gouge out his own eyes.

    All types of materials littered the floor but evidently, the racks which once held the most prized ones were now empty shells.

    Clinging onto the side of the massive smelting furnace, was a crystal-like see-through beetle the size of a gallon bucket.

    ¡°Crystal armor beast!¡±

    Liu Zhenshan yelled out in astonishment.

    Who would have thought that this creature would appear here out of all ces.

    On second thought, it should not have been too surprising. The crystal armor beast was interrupted by human activity when it had just started feeding on energy fluids. However, since the crisis hit, nobody cared about where the grubby creature went.

    And for now, within the entire Han Town, was there an even better material than what Liu Zhenshan originally had in store?

    It should be kept in mind that the material within the smelting furnace that Liu Zhenshan was forging, was an F-tier beast king item.

    The reason why the crystal armor beast snuck its way here was no coincidence.

    While the forging process within the furnace was alreadypleted, it was still radiating an immense amount of heat. The beetle was left with no other choice but to wait it out, until the furnace cooled down before chomping its way in to obtain the prize within.

    However, it never crossed the armor beast¡¯s mind that the pesky humans who once interrupted its feeding process, would turn up here again.

    ¡°Nice, this fe fell into ourps willingly!¡± A smile cracked across Qin Feng¡¯s face and without hesitation, a beam of darkness enveloped the crystal armor beast¡¯s body.

    Dark Shroud.

    The beast lost all its senses for a moment.

    Qin Feng once again unleashed his ability.

    ¡°Dark ray!¡±

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    Zoom! Zoom!

    A series of explosions followed. The crystal armor beast simply could not withstand Qin Feng¡¯s attacks which had been blessed and enhanced by the dark stone. A few secondster, it copsed lifelessly onto the ground. It had been weakened to such a degree that it failed to dodge the iing hellfire attack, which instantly carbonised its brain, killing it right then and there.

    The culprit that caused the destruction of Han Town had now been taken out by Qin Feng¡¯s own hands.

 Chapter 108 - Xiao Bai takes action!

    <h4>Chapter 108: Xiao Bai takes action!</h4>

    ¡°Wha-¡°, struggling to produce any coherent form of speech, Liu Zhenshan was shocked to the very core after witnessing Qin Feng unveil his true strength.

    Back then, Qin Feng set the bar for himself as an F-tier ancient warrior after being provoked by others. As for the moment though, it seemed that he had long surpassed what they had originallybelled him as.

    Qin Feng, in all aspects, was practically an ability user!

    There was however, one distinct thing that caught Liu Zhenshan¡¯s eye and he just could not wrap his head around it. How and why was the hue produced by Qin Feng¡¯s ability pure ck in color?

    Still, remembering the Hellfire attack released by Qin Feng in the second half of his attack, Liu Zhenshan concluded that somewhere along the way, some mutations must have urred among the fire runic ability users so he stopped giving it more thought.

    He busily shuffled over and started operating the smelting furnace again, switching on the rapid cooling process. As icy cold water rushed down the sides of the furnace, so did the interior temperature of the furnace drop. It was not too long before the hatch of the furnace popped open, revealing the prized material floating within.

    ¡°Old pal, this is it!¡± Liu Zhenshan passed the item over to Qin Feng. The result of the dposition process produced three distinct types of energies,pressed into a physical form. One of them waspressed into a block around the size of three y bricks but weighed over a hundred kilograms!

    ¡°This is really good stuff! It must be a mineral from an alternate dimension. We named it the sunken ck stone. It¡¯s an extremely robust material, offering good resistance against attacks for its user. Prime stuff to make shields out of, but I¡¯ll admit that it¡¯d be pretty interesting to make weapons with it. You know what they say, offense is the best form of defense and I don¡¯t think weapons made from it will wear out anytime soon, haha!¡±

    Agreeing with the old man, Qin Feng nodded.

    ¡°Uncle Liu, I¡¯ve transferred the funds over to you. Though, I wonder how much longer it¡¯ll take if I let you upgrade this runic equipment right here?¡± Qin Feng questioned.

    ¡°Right now, huh?¡± Liu Zhenshan did not expect that Qin Feng was still ruminating on upgrading his equipment. The insectoids were breeding like crazy out there right now so was it not better to leave the ce as soon as possible?

    Qin Feng nodded and replied, ¡°Uncle Liu, keep in mind that the store is located right at the heart of the city. While the insectoids have now infested the entire ce, their presence is still unevenly distributed. If we evacuate right now, the chances of a sessful escape is high but so is death!¡±

    Liu Zhenshan was visibly confused by Qin Feng¡¯s statement.

    Qin Feng¡¯s statement was true. During the initial stage, when the insectoids came crawling out from the spatial rift, their innate instinct was to hunt and feed. This stage was the most chaotic and the worst time for one to evacuate the city. In one moment, you could evade a group of slow-crawling insectoids but end up in the jaws of a bloodthirsty broodmother in the next instant. Stories of how people met their demise in a simr fashion weremonly passed on among the survivors.

    Thus, the chances of dying were far from being out of the equation yet.

    However, as the insectoids consolidate their upation of this area, only the high-tier beasts would remain as the weaklings slowly die out. Different species would obviously live in different sectors of the city as they too, were territorial in nature. The chances of surviving the evacuation at this stage were the highest so long as they could maneuver between the insectoids¡¯ territories undetected.

    This wasmon knowledge taught in textbooks in his past life.

    Still, only a handful from the past lived to tell tales of such endeavours.

    Qin Feng continued, ¡°Also, as long as Han Town remains under enemy control, the spatial rift will continue expanding. Soon, even those from Fu City will move over and encircle us. It¡¯s wiser to stay put and wait it out. At least it¡¯s a better n than to make a blind escape with no immediate ns at hand. We now have more than twenty people in that basement. Instead of making camp in that cramped space, we can have more breathing room if we hole up in an abandoned hotel. We¡¯llst longer that way too. For us to be able to do that though, my weapons must be lethal enough to protect the group. Since we already have the core of the crystal armor beast, let¡¯s upgrade the weapon right now!¡±

    The most important reason for Qin Feng toe to this decision however, was that considering Liu Xue¡¯s personality, it was very unlikely that she was willing to evacuate the ce by herself. Instead, she would insist on dragging along with her the deadweight that was twenty-odd people or she would die trying.

    If that were the case, only God knows what would happen to such arge crowd.

    He had seen this scenario repeat before his very eyes too many times for him to quantify. Theserades that stood shoulder-to-shoulder with you would send you toward death¡¯s embrace if their own lives were threatened.

    Qin Feng refused to let harm be done toward Uncle Liu under his watch.

    Liu Zhenshan was obviously moved by what Qin Feng had to say!

    ¡°You¡¯re right. Let¡¯s do it. After all, forging a weapon shouldn¡¯t take too much time. Three to five hours is what I need!¡±

    Still, for Liu Zhenshan to make such a risky decision, Qin Feng¡¯sbat ability yed a crucial role in the process. His strength was unrivalled, and was much stronger than Liu Xue. With such a strong ally by his side, nothing was to be feared.

    In fact, his worst fear was Qin Feng running off by himself!

    Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Liu Zhenshan¡¯s words. He said, ¡°I also have a few other materials which need to be broken down. Give me a moment, I¡¯ll have my girlfriend deliver them to us!¡±

    Qin Feng switched on themunicator and requested for Bai Li to deliver the goods over. The ¡°goods¡± in question, was the spear of the Emperor Knight.

    Receiving Qin Feng¡¯s orders, Bai Li soon emerged from the underground shelter.

    While she did not know the exact route to get to Qin Feng¡¯s position, she could sense his presence and roughly make out which direction she had to take. Without using spatial maniption, she effortlessly followed the path from the underground car park and soon arrived above ground.

    The moment she stepped foot outside, a group of humans could be seen fleeing from insectoids, retreating back into the hotel.

    ¡°Man, f*ck these bugs!¡±

    ¡°Which motherf*cker was it that shattered the space stabilising device?!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re totally screwed so what¡¯s the point of saying all that?¡±

    ¡°No, these critters are having a feeding frenzy outside. Let ¡¯em stuff their bellies first before we go out! We gotta find a ce to barricade ourselves in. Say, this hotel¡¯s a pretty sweet spot!¡±

    ¡°Just hurry up, find something to block the windows and doors! Lock this ce down!¡±

    These were all F-tier aptitude users with a lifetime of experience in survival. They were lightning fast in finding stuff to blockade entry points into the building and soon, the entire ce turned into a makeshift fortress.

    While they were running about setting up defenses, Bai Li cheekily appeared in front of these ragtag defenders.

    However, Bai Li ignored these people and so did they in regards to her appearance, with the exception of a single member from the group who noticed her presence immediately.

    That person was the ancient warrior whose entire row of teeth were knocked out by two blows from Qin Feng¡¯s fists a few days ago.

    His eyes nearly popped out of its sockets as she entered into his vision.

    ¡°Hey, ain¡¯t that the kid¡¯s sweetheart?¡± The man walked over in long strides, blocking Bai Li from proceeding any further.

    Bai Li¡¯s brows furrowed, shing a look of disgust at the man.

    ¡°Haha, little missy, since your husband¡¯s out there feedin¡¯ the bugs, how ¡¯bout you follow me? Service me well and I¡¯ll protect ya. How does that sound? Now, you¡¯re more than entitled to reject my generous proposition but do know that I could just toss ya out and turn ya into juicy bug-feed.¡±

    Bai Li rolled her eyes and imitated Qin Feng¡¯s signature cynicalugh.

    ¡°I¡¯ll have you know that my husband¡¯s in the backyard. I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about, bug-feed and all. Howughable.¡±

    A jolt ran down the man¡¯s spine, if he had one, upon realising that Qin Feng was still alive.

    Still, Bai Li¡¯s attitude was more than this ancient warrior could handle. In the next moment, he bellowed with rage, ¡°Who cares if he¡¯s in the backyard. I¡¯ll f*ck you right here and now. He can kill me if he wants but I¡¯ll die with a great smile on my face!¡±

    Immediately after, the man reached out with his thick arms to grab hold of the girl. He was aiming to cover up Bai Li¡¯s mouth to prevent her from screaming. An image shed across his mind with the girl on her knees begging for forgiveness as his toothless mouth curved into a wicked grin.

    Bai Li stepped backward in the nick of time and stated loud and clear, ¡°While my husband forbids me from using violence, if you provoke me any further, I swear to God I will rain his fury down upon you!¡±

    ¡°Haha, big words missy. Come on, touch me all you want!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s eyes glimmered and a cunning smile broke across her face.

    ¡°Since you¡¯ve invited me to, sure thing!¡±

    Without hesitation, she lifted her feminine arm high above her head before bringing it down onto the man¡¯s face like a whip.

    While Qin Feng held back on his attacks, the same could not be said for Bai Li.

    That smack alone sent her opponent flying meters back, smashing open the windows which he had barricaded mere moments ago. This ancient warrior dropped like a sack of potatoes onto the ground outside the hotel. Bugs roaming around the surrounding area immediately swarmed over and turned the toothless sex-offender-to-be into an all-you-can-eat buffet.

    Bai Li cackled wryly.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have the balls to feed me to the bugs, literally and figuratively!¡±

    She then walked off in her high heels as if nothing had happened.

 Chapter 109 - Upgrading the Verdant Emperor Saber

    <h4>Chapter 109: Upgrading the Verdant Emperor Saber</h4>

    None of the ancient warrior¡¯srades stepped in to diffuse the situation. Was Qin Feng¡¯s p to that person¡¯s face, not also a p to the dignity of the entire team? Revenge would normally be sought afterwards but there was a reason why this was not the case.

    Aptitude users could be perfectly described using the ever-changing weather as an analogy. You may be riding high today, strong as ever bute tomorrow, you could just be eating dirt to get by!

    It never crossed any of these people¡¯s minds that Bai Li would possess such great power.

    ¡°She, she¡¯s an aptitude user!¡±

    ¡°Sh*t,rade number three¡¯s dead!¡±

    ¡°Just what kind of a sh*tshow did he get intost time?¡±

    It did not take long for these ability-users to quiet down. Now, the hotel was dead silent.

    Present on the scene was a total of six aptitude users, half of them being close friends of the now-deceased warrior.

    ¡°Say, should we just run for it?¡± One of the gunners asked as he shifted around ufortably.

    Thedy looked as fragile as a porcin flower vase but was strong enough to wipe out a battle-hardened man with a single blow. If she alone were this strong, it was hard to imagine just how much stronger this Qin Feng person was. Now that they have pissed off his girl, it was a pretty wise decision to leave the scene.

    ¡°No, you¡¯ve all witnessed just how strong she is. With Armageddon happening outside, she¡¯s surprisingly calm for ady to be travelling alone. There must be some trick up her sleeve, some kind of a trump card. It¡¯s gotta be safer if we could just call for a ceasefire with them. Going outside isn¡¯t an option!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, we¡¯ll stay!¡±

    The other half of the team were not particrly close with thete-ancient warrior and co. They merely banded together to wait out the storm, a pact of convenience. As they had not offended Qin Feng, there was no reason to go. In fact, they were relieved upon learning of his existence!

    ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s check him outter on. We¡¯ll introduce ourselves and by extension, secure the safety of our group!¡±

    ¡°Well said!¡±

    The others seemed to have reached a consensus.

    Meanwhile, Bai Li had finally arrived at the smelting facility where she handed the spear over to Qin Feng.

    He then passed the weapon carefully over to Liu Zhenshan.

    ¡°This is the one I was talking about!¡±

    Upon receiving that spear, the old man¡¯s face glowed with excitement.

    ¡°Star steel!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s correct.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded.

    As the Emperor Knight had died, so did its contract with its spear. The spirit residing within the spear dissipated over time hence it was not as effective in Qin Feng¡¯s hands. In its current state, it would be far better to harness the power of its material, then to forge a new weapon out of it with the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    In the next moment, it seemed as if the spear had turned into hot steel as Liu Zhenshan struggled to keep it within his grips.

    ¡°You want to use this to upgrade your own weapon? Wouldn¡¯t that be a tad bit too wasteful?¡± Liu Zhenshan asked with a confused look.

    To his question, Qin Feng shook his head as he replied, ¡°I¡¯m using it on my own weapon so how would it be wasteful?¡±

    The old man had held in his arms the Verdant Emperor Saber in previous asions and so he understood that it was forged from a G-tier ultra beast. However, a piece of star steel was of an S-tier rarity and could easily produce an A-tier runic equipment.

    Though, that piece of equipment would be so powerful that even Qin Feng would find it hard to make good use of. On second thought, perhaps upgrading his personal weapon would be the best choice for Qin Feng after all.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get down to business then!¡±

    The entire spearhead was forged out of pure star steel, so there was no need to refine it, nor was a separation process necessary. The only thing they needed to do was to melt it and reform its shape.

    ¡°Bai Li, you head back first! We¡¯ll be back in no time!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to go back. That ce is stinky!¡± Bai Li rebutted grumpily.

    It seemed that after Qin Feng had left the shelter, the people there could finally let out a sigh of relief. Many of them, after finally surviving the arduous journey were drenched in sweat. There were even some that had emptied their dders out of fear when they got attacked halfway through the journey. All those bodily fluids, trapped within a small, unventted space would soon turn the entire ce nauseating to say the least.

    However foul the ce smelled, no one dared to grumble about it. What right did they have to do so?

    Suddenly, the sound of gunfire broke the silence and soon, more guns started joining in as if a war had begun outside.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s brows furrowed.

    Bai Li remembered the group of people she bumped into on her way here and replied, ¡°Hmm, I saw around seven humans over at the hotel while making my way here, and oh, right, one of them has been fed to the bugs!¡±

    Qin Feng had no idea what Bai Li was referring to when she said ¡°fed to the bugs¡±. Was she the one who fed the person to the bugs? Anyway, with so much noise from the battle outside, it was bound to attract a great deal of insectoids over.

    If that were the case, Liu Zhenshan could be in big trouble!

    ¡°You stay here and protect Uncle Liu at all costs. Should the situation call for it, do not hesitate to release your strength. Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve but you must stop those bugs from harming the old man. Understood?¡±

    ¡°Oh ho, aye aye!¡±

    Bai Li nodded her head and sat back down in the room.

    Qin Feng exited the smelting facility. Opening up the reinforced steel front door, he discovered that there already were bugs littering the corridor leading to where the old man and Bai Li were.

    Five de mantises and more than ten ck steel bugs.

    Qin Feng had only appeared for a mere second and yet these ck steel bugs had started swarming over in an attempt to overwhelm him.

    m!

    Qin Feng yanked the door shut in a hurry. He could only face these critters after ensuring their passageway to Liu Zhenshan was thoroughly blocked.

    The bugs crawled with rming speed toward Qin Feng and came so close that he could count the razor-sharp fangs inside the many jaws that were gaping open, ready to tear out a piece of his own flesh.

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    The air around Qin Feng started burning with raging intensity, turning him into a moving ball of me.

    The bugs hurled themselves at Qin Feng regardless of the fire, like how moths would fly fearlessly into a campfire.

    ¡°Screech!¡±

    A sharp screech echoed down the corridor, apanied by the pungent smell of burning bug flesh.

    Qin Feng held his breath as the mes burned ever stronger, repelling these bugs away from the building.

    The insects were sent flying from Qin Feng¡¯s ingenious attack. It did not matter if it were a de mantis or a ck steel bug, they would all copse onto the ground and curl up into a roasted stinking mess.

    As the hotel and the equipment store had connecting back alleys, Qin Feng walked over to the hotel but to no avail as the door had been locked from within.

    However, Qin Feng was able to peer through a transparent part of the door to see that there was arge build-up of bugs within the building.

    ¡°Damn it, we can¡¯t hold this floor any longer! Go up! All of you! Regroup upstairs!¡±

    The sea of bugs was growing denser by the second!

    Bang! Bang!

    Sensing a presence beyond the door, some of the bugs near the locked door started attacking it instead, trying to get to Qin Feng who was standing outside.

    Clink!

    An emerald green arm sliced open the door from the inside like a hot knife through butter, cutting through the main points in which it was secured.

    With a grunt, Qin Feng kicked down therge door.

    Thud!

    As Qin Feng¡¯s attack power was now soaring through the roof, he managed to bring down the door with just one hefty kick. On the other side of the door, the force exerted by the kick was enough to crush the hungry de mantises to death!

    Squelch!

    A loud crunch could be heard as therge door copsed onto the floor. Qin Feng was then met with the gag-inducing stench which insectoids naturally produced as well the smell of their fresh blood.

    It seemed that Qin Feng had stirred up a ho¡¯s nest!

    ck steel bugs washed over him, like a dark wave trying to drown out Qin Feng.

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his consciousness, allowing his ability to burst out as fire runes danced about in the air.

    A wall of fire had materialised in front of Qin Feng.

    While none of the bugs physically made it through the zing wall, their painful wails as they writhed about in the inferno filled the room.

    Hellfire was no ordinary fire attack, for it burned not flesh, but the enemy¡¯s soul. Still, it was more than enough to turn these low-level bug beasts into crispy carbon.

    However, to Qin Feng¡¯s surprise, the emerald-green streak appeared once again. This time, it was hurdling toward Qin Feng himself, which made it all the more terrifying.

    Qin Feng spun his body, barely escaping the cutting de.

    Crack!

    The wall behind Qin Feng was split open in an instant, allowing a thin ray of sunlight into the room.

    ¡°Beast general!¡±

    Qin Feng turned over to be greeted by a pair of razor-sharp forelimbs of a massive mantis.

    The beast general of the de mantises stood at a height of almost two meters tall. Its massive forelimbs were able to strike at anything up to a distance of two meters at the speed of lightning.

    Once a de mantis was locked onto you, there was no escaping the fate of being dismembered into multiple chunks of flesh and bones. Their forelimbs were their best weapon after all.

    Swish!

    The de mantis general attacked once more.

    In such a small space, Qin Feng had little to no room for dodging attacks!

    ¡°Shadow!¡±

    Qin Feng vanished into thin air as he took to the shadows for temporary refuge.

    Losing its target so suddenly, the de mantis general was visibly in a daze.

    Qin Feng jumped back roughly ten meters before reappearing!

    ¡°Dark ray!¡±

    A beam of darkness hurdled toward the de mantis general¡¯s body.

    The beam of darkness encapsted the de mantis, trapping it within a pocket of dead air. Under the effects of the hell stone, the dark ray exerted a greater amount of pressure than ever seen before.

    The body of the de mantis general shrunk at an rming rate, drying up like a parched tree as the death of its cells elerated. Its abdomen, which was once jade-green had now turned into a sickly shade of yellow.

    ¡°Hiss!¡± The de mantis struggled to keep on its feet swaying side-to-side like a bobo doll.

    ¡°Fire beam!¡±

    Qin Feng once again let loose a ray of fire.

    The beast general widened its beady eyes, turning around in an attempt to escape its fiery death.

    However, its body had been weakened significantly after enduring Qin Feng¡¯s previous attacks, no longer possessing the agility it once had.

    Pop!

    The fire beam exploded right around the enemy¡¯s abdomen, sting deep-green bodily fluids into every corner of the room, including the ceiling.

    Within the mass of fluids, there appeared to be tiny orbs of light which were likely the cells of the general which had all experienced a rapid aging process.

    After sessfully dealing with the beast general, the other creatures, being intimidated by the grand show of force had no choice but to fall back, else they would face the same fate as their leader. However, as the number of bugs was overwhelming while the floorspace remained limited, the crowd inched forward slowly in terror!

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    Qin Feng unleashed his consciousness with explosive power. The mes literally spread like wildfire, burning with unrivalled intensity, turning the entire floor of the hotel into a sea of fire.

    With nowhere to go, these bugs became trapped in an oven, awaiting their fate of being engulfed by Qin Feng¡¯s fire.

    It was only after a full three minute, when none of the bugs outside the building dared to enter did Qin Feng start to gradually turn down the mes.

    He had killed over a hundred of these creepy crawlies in one go.

    Apart from piles of gray-ash littering the charred floorboards, there were also tiny beads the size of a human thumbnail. It seemed that these were the energy cores of the freshly-in insectoids.

    Of course, there were only a handful of these beadsying around as most insectoids were pretty weak; only a fraction of them possessed energy cores, unlike the undead corpses that possessed individual cores.

    ¡°Retrieve!¡±

    Making use of his consciousness, Qin Feng collected all the energy cores which came flying into his palm.

    From killing more than a hundred of these guys, Qin Feng merely harvested a grand total of thirteen energy cores, including one from that beast general he took down.

    Alongside the cores, Qin Feng tucked away the de mantis general¡¯s slicers into the spatial rune equipment.

    As he was doing so, a menacing figure appeared in the shattered door frame linked to the safe passage outside.

    ¡°Cough cough!¡±

    The man clenched tightly onto his belly, looking at Qin Feng with an expression that was a mixture of relief and fear.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, thanks for saving our lives!¡±

    This man was one of the guys Qin Feng lobbed a round or two back at in retaliation.

    Qin Feng raised his brow and replied, ¡°You guys are making too much noise! You¡¯ll only serve as the dinner bell for these bugs!¡±

    The man smiled bitterly and apologised, ¡°I¡¯m sorry but my energy equipment¡¯s run out of juice!¡±

    The energy ster he was holding was indeed silent, as opposed to the usual humming it produced. While its effect was deadly, it guzzled too much energy and was extremely costly to operate, hence the majority of gunners stuck to using traditional lead bullets and explosive rounds on the battlefield.

    While there was a saying that gunners were typically money bags, failing to budget properly could burn a massive hole in their pockets, meaning aeback was near impossible after being drained of money and resources.

    ¡°Hmm!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded in understanding.

    The great hall on the first floor was too wide of a ce to defend, with ss doors surrounding the entire vicinity. While one could reasonably hold off G-tier ultra beasts, the same could not be said for F-tier ones. From what Qin Feng observed, these people had at most poured insect-repelling powder around the ce. Facing arge number of insectoids as was the case moments ago, their defensive measure was obviously insufficient.

    After dealing with this threat, Qin Feng turned and left, paying little attention to these people whom he had just saved.

    ¡°Mr Qin!¡±

    Seeing that Qin Feng was about to leave, the man called out urgently with a hint of desperation in his voice.

    And yet, Qin Feng¡¯s feet did not stop!

    The man started exining in a hurry, ¡°Mr Qin, we stumbled onto something interesting on the second floor and I just thought that you may want to check it out! After all, this is also a safe haven for you to fall back to. Uh, right! Strength in numbers! Perhaps it would be best for us to cooperate!¡±

    This man obviously did not want Qin Feng to leave.

    After all, men of such power were few and far between.

    Qin Feng was a fire ability user and the energy he could unleash was something which no ordinary F-tier user could match.

    Hearing what the man had to say, Qin Feng stopped in his tracks.

    ¡°What are you referring to?¡±

    ¡°Sir, you¡¯ll understand when youe and see for yourself!¡±

    A suspicion arose in Qin Feng¡¯s mind that these guys could be up to no good. But even if he was persuaded to go upstairs, was there anything these guys could do to stop him from leaving?

    With that in mind, Qin Feng followed the man to the entrance of a safe passage!

    On the other end of the passageway up the stairs however, was a heavy bed frame barricading against outsiders, leaving a small gap that was no more than half a meter-wide for humans to be able to barely squeeze through. Littering the stairway up to the makeshift barricade were carcasses of a variety of insectoids.

    So this was how they stopped the bugs from entering the second floor!

    It was such a simple defensive structure that if not for Qin Feng¡¯s unexpected arrival, it would have copsed in no time against these unrelenting bugs.

    Squeezing past the shoddy barricade, two men entered into Qin Feng¡¯s view on the other side. ording to Bai Li¡¯s report, there were seven people around here and one of them was fed to the bugs.

    If his math were correct, that meant three casualties from the bug assault just now.

    ¡°Mr Qin, my name¡¯s Wang Chen. We¡¯ve had a bit of a misunderstanding back then but since everybody¡¯s on the same boat, I hope that we can let bygones be bygones!¡±

    Wang Chen said as his hand remained pressed onto his belly.

    Qin Feng, who could achieve such magnificent feats using his consciousness alone naturally had a pretty good memory. A single nce was just what it took for him to recognise thepanion of that aptitude user who had toyed with Bai Li.

    Could it be that the person who Bai Li said was ¡°fed to the bugs¡± was none other than this guy¡¯s friend?

    Considering Bai Li¡¯s looks, it did not take a genius to be able to imagine what would have happened if such a girl were walking across such a disordered ce, wherews and morality were as good as dead.

    Still, Bai Li had her own ways to defend herself.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression darkened as he stared at Wang Chen coldly in the eyes.

    The man felt a wave of fear creeping up his spine as his smile became more and more forced.

    Unbeknownst to both of them was the fact that the entire incident was entirely a result of Bai Li¡¯s doing.

    After Bai Li sent the man flying out the window, the fresh meal attracted arge group of hungry insectoids over for the feast. This happened when the men were only halfway through building their defensive perimeter. Naturally, they would open fire to kill off those bugs to prevent a potential breach but unfortunately, that only attracted an evenrger group of creepy-crawlies to their position.

    It was only after witnessing firsthand just what Qin Feng was capable of, that ideas for revenge were quickly abandoned.

    What was more, the remaining two of the group had no grievances with Qin Feng and were in fact, ted to meet Qin Feng in person.

    ¡°Nice to meet you, Mr Qin! My name¡¯s He Ling, this man over here¡¯s Zhao Xiang!¡±

    ¡°Oh, just call me Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°No no no no, we¡¯ll stick to Mr Qin! We are now nothing but a small team of defeated soldiers with no leader to guide us! I sincerely hope that Mr Qin can help us out. As long as we can survive through this, I swear I will repay the debt to you no matter what!¡±

    These insectoids were too overwhelming. It did not matter that they were F-tier aptitude users. They could not hold their ground even when teamed up against an F-tier de mantis general. The unexpected arrival of Qin Feng however, greatly boosted their morale again after a brief moment of staring death right in the eyes.

    A nerve popped on Qin Feng¡¯s forehead.

    He was no hero who hade to save the day.

    Still, his mind returned to the supposed heroine that was Liu Xue. On second thought, the addition of a few more aptitude users might notpletely be bad news, considering the fact that there were now more than twenty people to protect in the underground shelter.

    ¡°Hmm, alright!¡±

    ¡°You are okay with that, Mr Qin?¡± He Ling found it difficult to believe Qin Feng¡¯s answer.

    ¡°We really appreciate it, Mr Qin!¡± Zhao Xiang hurriedly thanked their saviour.

    ¡°Thank you!¡± the superficial smile Wang Chen wore on his face was now exchanged with one that reflected his genuine emotion.

    ¡°Oh right, before I forget, what¡¯s the reason that you led me up here?¡± Qin Feng reminded Wang Chen.

    Wang Chen hurriedly replied, ¡°Mr Qin, I have not fooled you! Come over here and take a look!¡±

    Wang Chen led Qin Feng to a nearby window.

 Chapter 111 - The Terrifying Broodmother

    <h4>Chapter 111: The Terrifying Broodmother</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    As Qin Feng was facing the bugs on the first floor alone, Wang Chen, driven by fear, hadpletely sealed away the safe passage thereby blocking themselves in from the blood-thirsty monsters below. It was only after seeing the insectoids¡¯ miraculous retreat into the distance was the entrance opened back up as he wanted to meet Qin Feng downstairs as soon as possible.

    However, it was right at that moment prior to their meeting when Wang Chen discovered something that was so scary that it solidified his resolve to offer a truce with Qin Feng.

    Wang Chen led Qin Feng to the window where a sniper rifle was leaning against the windowsill.

    ¡°Mr Qin, it¡¯s in that direction!¡±

    Qin Feng peered through the scope after confirming that he was pointing the rifle in the right direction.

    The massive ck rift remained floating in the sky above Han Town from which insectoids would fall out from time to time. However, a noticeable change was that the number of bugs entering this city had grown sparser than during the initial stage of the infestation.

    The cars that once roamed the busy streets had now been exchanged with these God-forsaken bugs. Dark-red, almost ck colored patches could be observed smeared across the town¡¯s surface, on cars or on the walls to name a few ces.

    While they were only standing on the second floor of the building, Liu Xue¡¯s influence and standing in Han Town earned them the strategic location that was the hotel. The window Qin Feng was standing at overlooked the once flourishing street that ran through the central business district and right across the road was a massive skyscraper that was once a trade center.

    However, stuck between the two grand buildings was a massive spider web.

    Resting on the web, was a colossal spider that could easily send chills down the spine of anyone who dared to look at it.

    Qin Feng froze as his eyes met the herculean arachnid.

    ¡°It¡¯s a beast king!¡±

    The distance between the two buildings was at least seventy to eighty meters wide. Just how was it possible that there was a spider web this big?

    Looking closely, each individual spider silk had at least the thickness of a hemp rope. The gigantic eight-legged beast on the other hand, had a body that was at least three to four meters long, the size of a minivan. That was excluding eight of its legs that stretched up to more than ten meters long each.

    Such a huge beast, it was thergest Qin Feng had ever seen since his rebirth!

    To put the length of ten meters into perspective, if we were topare it to the floors of your average building, assuming three meters per floor, ten meters would be over three floors tall!

    With the spider choosing to spin its web between these two buildings, it was hard to imagine just how devastating its effects would be if further left unchecked.

    As if that was not bad enough, hanging on the spider¡¯s web were more than ten cocoon-like sacs, each roughly around one-tenth the size of the spider.

    However, Qin Feng deduced from its shape that they must be the unfortunate ones who had fallen into this beast king¡¯s jaws.

    ¡°It¡¯s a steel-limb broodmother!¡± He Ling interrupted the silence, his voice noticeably shaky. It appeared that he already knew of the spider¡¯s existence.

    ¡°Now that it¡¯s food supply is taken care of, the steel-limb broodmother will soon initiate its mating process. From each human body, it could produce up to three hundred steel-limb spiderlings which, only after three days would be mature enough to breed. If that were to happen, we¡¯d be drowned in a sea of spiders!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s brows furrowed at the thought of the impending disaster.

    What He Ling said was no lie.

    Back on the first floor, there were indeed male steel-limb spiders. Despite their smaller size, they were not weak creatures. If not for Qin Feng, the four people standing before him would have been torn to shreds without losing too much of their own.

    What this implied was that there would soon be a surge in the number of male spiders out hunting for food.

    ¡°We cannot afford to let them breed!¡±

    Qin Feng announced in a stern tone.

    ¡°We know that! Still, we don¡¯t have much of a choice here do we? It¡¯s a beast king after all!¡±

    Wang Chen felt his mouth gowing bitter.

    Qin Feng nodded, realising the powerlessness of this bunch of survivors.

    ¡°We¡¯ll strike tonight!¡±

    As long as the Verdant Emperor Saber remained unfinished, Qin Feng could not afford to make any rash decisions.

    As its name suggested, the limbs of the steel-limb broodmother was not something which could be snapped in two with bare hands.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s announcement was taken with surprise and disbelief by these men.

    ¡°Mr Qin, are you saying that you¡¯re gonna kill the beast king tonight?¡± Yu Hai asked hesitantly before adding on to his initial question, ¡°Say, just how strong have you be now?¡±

    He could not possibly be E-tier, right?

    Qin Feng seemed to be right around seventeen, at most eighteen years of age. If he had indeed reached E-tier, then would that not make him an even greater entity, with more potential than Liu Xue?

    Qin Feng chuckled at the unexpected question.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a need to answer your question. I¡¯m afraid you guys would piss your pants out of fear if I were to indeed say it out loud.¡±

    Qin Feng could not possibly say that he was an F4-tier aptitude user. The strength he possessed was something that far exceeded what these people could imagine after all.

    Even if his ability was revealed to this lot, there was still the chance that they would doubt his capability to kill this steel-limb broodmother.

    As such, things were better left unsaid.

    Qin Feng¡¯s words only made him all the more mysterious a character in their eyes, with powers that might just be beyond their expectations.

    It did not take long before Qin Feng earned their respect.

    ¡°Follow me, the buildings on this street are not worth defending!¡±

    ¡°Roger that!¡± They too, understood the worth, or theck thereof, of the building in which they were upying. The only reason for them being here was because of the food supply left here untouched.

    In hindsight, it really was the best choice for them to leave this ce after all.

    They had severely underestimated how deadly these creepy-crawlies could be!

    ¡°Before we leave, go getbat supplies from next door, and recharge that energy ster! We¡¯re gonna need it!¡± Qin Feng started issuing orders.

    ¡°Right!¡± Wang Chen was the first to agree. Combat supplies included a wide range of equipment including hemostatic agents for example. These all could be found in what was once Liu Zhenshan¡¯s equipment store.

    Qin Feng led the way as pointman while Wang Chen and his three-man team trailed closely behind. Upon reaching the first floor, they made their way into the equipment shop next door through a secret passageway.

    As Qin Feng had walked this path before, it had already been cleared through once. However, due to the battle just now, some insectoids managed to crawl their way in.

    It was hard to imagine just how dense the crowd of bugs was from before, being able to squeeze a sizable portion of them into this tunnel.

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand in front of him before activating the attack, from which five fist-sized fireballs shot out, each flying toward different targets.

    St! St! St!

    The fireballs smashed into the bugs¡¯ bodies before clinging on stubbornly like napalm, resulting in an excruciatingly painful death, evident in their violent thrashing on the ground as they were literally roasted alive.

    ¡°Move your asses, only bring what you can carry. It¡¯s fine if you leave stuff behind, there will be survivors taking refuge here someday.¡±

    Qin Feng urged.

    In an urban area in which anarchy had befallen, stores would generally be left abandoned by their owners. Naturally, they became prime targets for looters seeking supplies either for survival, or for a quick buck.

    ¡°Roger that!¡±

    While it looked from the outside to be filled with supplies, the equipment store was actually pretty empty. There were a handful of variants ofbat fatigues, with different numbers denoting each variant on disy. The rest of the fatigues were instead, found in the storage space behind the counter. Out in the open were crates of perishable goods; hard-tack crackers and regr medical supplies to name a few.

    It did not take long before Wang Chen found a hemostatic spray lying around somewhere. He hurriedly tore open his shirt and sprayed the liquid onto his injured abdomen. It seemed that he had barely escaped the jaws of death as the de mantis¡¯ slicers shed into his belly.

    Wang Chen then took out a piece of wound dressing and applied it to the puncture. Only after sessfully applying the dressing did he let out a sigh of relief.

    The four men moved swiftly, collecting whatever they could and stored them away into eightrge military-grade rucksacks before leaving through the backyard.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, open up the door!¡±

    Qin Feng notified Bai Li after switching on themunicator.

    The iron door popped open, revealing Liu Zhenshan crouching beside the smelting furnace. It had been forty-or-so minutes since Qin Feng left the ce and that was the amount of time it took for the Star Steel spearhead to melt. As for now, it was skillfully being incorporated into the Verdant Emperor Saber by the old man.

    Qin Feng led the three men into the room before locking the door shut. Liu Zhenshan turned around to check out the noise and upon seeing Qin Feng¡¯s return, he let out a breath of relief.

    ¡°How¡¯s the situation outside?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s fine!¡±

    Liu Zhenshan did not need to know too much about the steel-limb broodmother.

    ¡°Well then, Qin Feng, could you go over to the underground shelter where Liu Xue and the group are hiding? Since it¡¯s safe outside I think it¡¯s best for them to move over here. There are two warehouses beside the smelting facility and the built-in defense system¡¯s pretty robust too!¡±

    Qin Feng too, had thought about this before. However, no matter how bad the situation was in the underground shelter, the risk was simply too high to stay above ground. Though, to the perception of many, such risks could be averted with the presence of Qin Feng.

 Chapter 112 - Saber Unveiled!

    <h4>Chapter 112: Saber Unveiled!</h4>

    ¡°Are they going toe up as well?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    A bonehead teammate was more untolerable than the most formidable opponent.

    It would be a pain in the ass if they did want to tag along.

    ¡°Perhaps not.¡± Liu Zhensan was uncertain.

    Qin Feng nodded. That would be the best. He turned to the other three and admonished, ¡°Somemoners might join uster. Do your best to protect them then.¡±

    ¡°Leave it to us. Anyhow, it¡¯s our duty as aptitude users to protect the weak. With great poweres great responsibility.¡± Wang Chen snorted rather sarcastically. He, too, actually did not wish to have so manymoners around.

    Qin Feng was even more reluctant but it could not be helped. After all, this ce was the patrol unit leader of Han Town, Liu Xue¡¯s birthce. If such a tragedy were to befall Chengbei colony, he would have done the same for his kins.

    Such was the unpredictable fate of humanity in this turbulent era. Qin Feng decided that he would do what he could to help.

    ¡°Uncle Liu, let¡¯s collect the stuff from the storeroom next door.¡± Qin Feng said.

    Liu Zhensan agreed immediately. The items inside that room were worth at least a few tens of millions. He would love to hoard back as many valuables as possible.

    Fortunately, the three spatial runes he carried with him had enough space to fill most of the expensive beast materials. He did not take any of the guns as he knew that those would be their lifeline in the uing survival battle. It would be distributed out to everyer.

    In the past life, the ammunition supply was what had helped them to escape Han Town safely.

    Qin Feng watched as Liu Zhensan collected the valuables. After thetter finished packing, Qin Feng walked out andmanded He Ling and Zhao Xiang to prepare sandbags and carried it to the second floor to barricade the windows and hallways. They set up the proper defense and sprayed monster repents all over the floor to leave only a narrow path.

    Once they hadpleted the setup, Qin Feng went back down to the underground parking lot through the secured exit.

    The parking lot was in a mess. He was met by a brownishrva of ten-meter-long the moment he opened the door.

    It was a plow worm!

    ¡°Fire Beam!¡±

    Qin Feng triggered his consciousness and a dark-redser beam was immediately unleashed. The beam sent the plow worm flying and sted it into pieces.

    Plow worms were a giant earthworm-like creature. They liked to hide underneath humidnd and would normally break through the ground to attack their prey.

    The danger level of a plow worm was determined based on its size. S-tier plow worms were probably as gigantic as a real dragon. One single turn might lead to a massive earthquake if such a creature really existed.

    The one Qin Feng came across was a G5-tier. There was nothing to be worried about.

    Of course, there would be no escape if the one that opened the door just now was a randommoner.

    Qin Feng walked toward the iron door of the basement.

    ¡°Liu Xue, open the door. I am here to bring you all up.¡± Qin Feng contacted Liu Xue through themunicator.

    Liu Xue opened the door from inside and a foul stench instantly leaked out from the room. Qin Feng furrowed his eyebrows.

    That was to be expected when twenty nervous people were cramped inside a small room. Some men were even smoking in there. The vent only drew in oxygen and provided little to no cirction to the room.

    ¡°How is it out there?¡±

    ¡°Are the insectoids still rampaging?¡±

    ¡°Have you guys sorted out the defensive unit?¡±

    Numerous questions were shot at Qin Feng before Liu Xue could say anything.

    Qin Feng looked at the eager citizens that approached him tensely and took a step back. ¡°You guys should have already been informed of the condition out there through themunicator. What different news do you expect me to bring?¡±

    The people inside the basement were silenced and turned grim. They had, of course, learned about thetest development distributed through themunicator.

    They just refused to believe that Han Town was destroyed this quickly and unpredictably.

    The defense team had gone separate ways too. They were running together with everyone during the invasion and only a few had stayed back to slightly stall the insectoid waves.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Hasn¡¯t Coldstorm announced that they are going toe and save us? I believe a lot of aptitude users have answered the call and are on their way to Han Town now. We only need to endure for a few more days!¡± Liu Xue tried to console the town folks.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know when your savior will arrive but one thing is certain¡ªWe have a beast king hanging around just about three hundred meters from here.¡± Qin Feng broke the news coldly.

    Fear and panic instantly filled the room. That was exactly the impact Qin Feng wished to see.

    ¡°It¡¯s too crowded here. Some people have toe with me to the safe house. Don¡¯t worry, I will ensure your safety out there,¡± Qin Feng instructed.

    But it sounded like ame joke in those people¡¯s ears. ¡®How are you going to protect us when a beast king is loitering nearby?¡¯

    ¡°I am going with you. I want to stay by my hubby¡¯s side no matter what,¡± Qiao Yan walked out and said. She was ady boss with great life experience. Her instinct told her that Qin Feng was a man of his words.

    If he imed he could protect them, then he was going to bet his life on the line.

    ¡°Lady boss, I am going with you as well.¡±

    ¡°Bring me too!¡±

    Qiao Yan¡¯s workers¡ªthree men and one woman¡ªhad stood out as well.

    That made six of them including Liu Xue.

    ¡°But then...¡± Liu Xue was worried that even if the others would be safe hiding down in the basement, the food supply might notst.

    Qiao Yan pushed Liu Xue out of the basement before she finished her sentence.

    ¡°Anyone else?¡± Qin Feng asked once again.

    They avoided eye contact and said nothing.

    The basement was not a public area but a private property that belonged to Liu Zhenshan. It had limited space and they would be morefortable with the six people gone. The outside world was extremely dangerous now and any misstep would spell instant death. Hence, most of them were more willing to stay behind the steel door.

    ¡°Then you are on your own now!¡±

    Qin Feng left those words and led the six out of the room. Those who remained in the room wasted no time and shut the door behind them instantly.

    ¡°Those people are horrible. It¡¯s supposed to be our hotel¡¯s basement!¡±

    The twenty-ish girl that tagged along said angrily. The uninvited guests had been feasting and had turned the underground into a smokehouse ever since they arrived. Not only that but some of the guys had not been kind and friendly toward them. This had more or less startled thedy.

    Inparison, Qin Feng appeared to be more dependable and trustworthy.

    ¡°Well, we have gone our separate ways now. It¡¯s their choice to stay put.¡± Qin Feng showed little pity and guided the group back to the temporary safe house.

    Insectoids had stoppeding through the rift but Han Town had already crumbled under the beasts¡¯ ferocious assaults. Those who made it out alive were perhaps less than ten percent of the original poption.

    The patrol unit responsible to recapture Han Town was none other than Coldstorm battalion. The general in charge was just a mere G7-tier ancient warrior. He was helpless in the face of the insectoids that were hundreds of times greater than his troop in size. They needed to wait for at least another day until the nearest reinforcement could reach them.

    As such, night had promptlynded on the town that was left with nothing but despair.

    ***

    The city was still at one midnight. Even so, the asional humming noise made by the worms had the survivors trembling in fear. Without maintenance, the city had run out of power and was soon consumed by pitch-ck darkness.

    Inside the forge, Liu Zhenshan was sweating with excitement.

    ¡°It¡¯s done!¡±

    The mold in his hand opened up and the weapon in it gleamed brilliantly.

 Chapter 113 - Battle the Beast King

    <h4>Chapter 113: Battle the Beast King</h4>

    The bright re slowly toned down and revealed the shape of the weapon in it.

    In the previous forge, only a short de was made since the rat king¡¯s fangs were the only materials used. This time, the Verdant Emperor Saber had obviously be deadlier with the infusion of new materials.

    The saber measured at 70 cm in length now. The size of its hilt remained unchanged while the de elongated by 15 cm to reach 60 cm. Its width and thickness had also grown to 3.8 cm and 0.9 cm respectively.

    It no longer looked like an ordinary cross saber. Despite the spurt in size, it was still rather flexible and had great sharpness. The color of the de had also deepened and appeared to be cyan now.

    Perhaps due to the addition of the Star Steel, there was a faint glittering pattern at the tip of the de that contrasted its base color, which made the de more enchanting.

    ¡°Nice sword!¡± Qin Fengplimented and picked up the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°I have prepared a scabbard for you as well. Better keep it hidden in public to avoid unwanted attention,¡± Liu Zhenshan passed Qin Feng an ordinary-looking sheath. It was made from the skin of the rat king and Qin Feng figured he would make a better one when he obtained better materials in the future.

    He agreed with what Liu Zhenshan had just said. There was no need to swank his weapon to everyone he met. The Verdant Emperor Saber now carried a faint gleam of gold radiance¡ªa sign showed only when the weapon had surpassed the beast king¡¯s material limit. It was all thanks to the celestial steel.

    ¡°You shall have your thirst quenched by the beast¡¯s blood tonight,¡± Qin Feng nced at the saber and said smilingly.

    He sheathed the saber and walked out from the forge. Wang Chen and others had yet to fall asleep at this hour. Someone had to be awake and guard the night but in fact, an idea was lingering in their minds.

    That was because Qin Feng had imed that he was going to challenge the beast king.

    Without waking Liu Xue and others in the next room, Qin Feng and Bai Li crossed the sandbag wall and submerged into the darkness.

    He Ling and co. watched as they departed.

    ¡°Do you think they would seed?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s hard to say...¡±

    ¡°Why do I suddenly feel that he might actually make it...¡±

    None of them uttered another word after that. They dared not make too much noise as their sounds might travel far in this quiet night. What if the insectoids were to hear them?

    They were unable to take a look at the condition outside from the backyard they were at now. They were eager to find out what the situation of the town was at now and what was going to happen soon.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go higher up and take a look,¡± He Ling promptly suggested.

    Zhao Xiang contemted and nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the top floor. We can use any of the rooms. It should be fine.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Wang Chen could not hold back his curiosity too, and joined them.

    They climbed to the fourth floor and found a decent spot. They then proceeded to set up their scope and scanned around the town through it.

    On a distant building, Qin Feng was mounting a dark warhorse with the Verdant Emperor Saber on his waist.

    The warhorse once belonged to the Emperor Knight. The horse could be steered by simply infusing dark energy into it. It could run at a speed faster than the hovercar. Most importantly, it could jump and sprint on all types of terrains.

    Qin Feng was staring at the steel-limb broodmother further away.

    Bai Li was behind Qin Feng with one leg on the saddle. She was not really stepping on it but was instead floating in mid-air.

    ¡®Such a giant beast. If only we could kill it from afar.¡¯

    Qin Feng sighed. A small-sized beast might not be weak but the rule of thumb was that the bigger the beast, the more powerful it was.

    Even getting hit by one of its legs would be devastating. Not only that, Qin Feng would be easily trampled on if the beast decided to body smash him.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, the bazooka.¡±

    ¡°Here!¡±

    Xiao Bai pointed and a bazooka immediately popped up in front of Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng retrieved it and ced it skillfully on his left arm. This was the same weapon he had used at Zimu Mountains to counter-attack Lu Heng and also the one that had put down the Emperor Knight.

    Qin Feng took aim at the giant broodmother and...

    Click!

    Qin Feng pushed the trigger and the muzzle of the bazooka instantly buzzed with res shooting out of it.

    An orange missile broke free and flew straight out.

    On top of the hotel, the three men that had failed to locate Qin Feng immediately turned their heads to the source of the st.

    ¡°He¡¯s there!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a bazooka. He is using a firearm?¡± Wang Chen was bewildered.

    ¡°Maybe he is just trying to drive the broodmother away from its web?¡± Zhao Xiang expressed his doubt.

    But Wang Chen was getting more and more astounded.

    Boom!

    The missile traveled at an astonishing speed. It reached the beast at a thousand meters away in the blink of an eye.

    In the next moment, the missilended precisely on the spider¡¯s abdomen.

    An explosion swiftly followed and it trembled the giant web vigorously.

    Chirp!

    The broodmother wailed out of rage from inside the mushroom cloud. A wide string shot out from it and stuck to another building not far away from Qin Feng¡¯s position.

    Next, a giant spider was seen dashing out from the fire through the string. It wasrgely unharmed as not a single wound was spotted on its body.

    Qin Feng did not move andunched another missile.

    Bam!

    Simrly, the missile flew straight at the broodmother.

    However, the broodmother came ready this time. It spitted string from its mouth and dragged itself away from the missile ballistic.

    ¡®Where are you running off to?¡¯ Qin Feng snorted and focused his consciousness. ¡®Turn!¡¯

    The missile that had missed the broodmother suddenly turned back and hit right at the beast¡¯s abdomen.

    Kaboom! The impact flipped the beast and dropped it to the ground.

    The three observers had their jaws dropped to the ground after witnessing the entire process.

    ¡°How did he do that?¡± Zhao Xiang could not close his mouth.

    ¡°Maybe because he is an ability user?¡± That was the only usible exnation He Ling could muster.

    Wang Chen did not think that it was that simple. ¡°Although an ability user may have stronger consciousness than a gunner, it¡¯s still pretty difficult to manipte external objects based on conscious energy alone. Besides, it is such a precise maneuver performed at such a great distance!¡±

    Qin Feng was at least eight hundred meters away from the beast!

    Wang Chen had no idea how Qin Feng achieved such a tremendous feat.

    Nevertheless, no matter how urate Qin Feng¡¯s missiles were, they had failed to halt the approaching broodmother.

    The one thousand meters was shortened drastically under the beast¡¯s relentless charge.

    In the meantime, Qin Feng had fired eight more missiles and hit the broodmother every single time.

    Unfortunately, the twelve missiles left by He Li had been exhausted.

    Cluck.

    Qin Feng utched the bazooka and threw it to Bai Li.

    Bai Li caught it and swiftly stored it into the spatial rune. At the same time, the broodmother had reached under the building Qin Feng was at.

    Its spider legs climbed tirelessly up the twelve-floor building and the beast was closer than ever.

    ¡°Engage!¡±

    Qin Feng promptly unsheathed his saber. The gleam of the de brightened the night as if a meteor had just shed across it.

    Qin Feng signaled to the horse under his thighs and the umbra stallion immediately merged into the surroundings.

    Dark Shadow!

 Chapter 114 - Sword Artâ€”Blazing Sky

    <h4>Chapter 114: Sword Art¡ªzing Sky</h4>

    Qin Fengpletely vanished from sight in an instance. Not even the scope could locate his position.

    Qin Feng was not only watched by Wang Chen and co. but other aptitude users that had survived the attacks were startled by the battle noise and hade out from hiding to check on the situation.

    Nobody would have thought that someone was daring enough to challenge the broodmother. He even chose the time when the beast might be at its strongest.

    The audiences were treated with a wonderful execution staged by the mythical gunner from a thousand miles away.

    ¡°That¡¯s a shame. Gunners are weak in closebat. He is going to die after being caught up by the broodmother.¡±

    ¡°Why waste such effort? That would only disturb and further enrage the entire insectoid troop.¡±

    The survivors began to hear rustling noises around them. The attacker had not only provoked the broodmother but at the same time had also attracted the entire fleet of insectoids toward him.

    But neither the creatures nor the survivors knew that Qin Feng coulde and go as he pleased in the dark. He was invisible in total darkness with the help of the dark gem. This environment maximized his dark ability to its fullest potential and not even the beast king could detect his presence.

    He was the true master of the shadows. The darkness was his reign.

    The umbra stallion appeared silently.

    ¡°Dark Laser!¡±

    A band of ray darker than the night sky suddenly pierced through the broodmother¡¯s body out of nowhere.

    The dark rune energy erupted and cells that were still vibrant a moment ago started to contract and lose their vitality. Its power and speed had been greatlypromised.

    It went exactly the way Qin Feng intended it to. But naturally, the broodmother was not to be simply trifled with. It discovered Qin Feng¡¯s location the moment he used the ability.

    Poof!

    A giant white web was shot out and shrouded Qin Feng from all corners. He retreated at once.

    In the end, the web missed Qin Feng andnded on one of the buildings and was stuck there. Not only that but some of its strings hit the windows due to inertia and smashed them into pieces. What a brutal attack! One could only imagine the oue if Qin Feng were to be hit by the strings.

    The steel-limb broodmother twisted its legs and turned around. Its daunting eyes scanned the night painstakingly. Then, one of its legs slid up abruptly.

    ng!

    Qin Feng was exposed after the impact. The Verdant Emperor Saber shone brilliantly in the dark like a star in the night sky.

    The sharp saber crippled one of the spider¡¯s legs but Qin Feng was sent flying backward as well.

    ¡®umbra stallion!¡¯

    Qin Feng stopped short as his momentum was halted by the stallion¡¯s pull. Even so, he had flown straight into one of the tall buildings and sted all its windows apart.

    Poof.

    Another thin string came flying and Qin Feng dodged dexterously. The string bypassed him and was attached to the wall of the building.

    ¡®Shit!¡¯

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression changed.

    ¡°Space de!¡± Bai Li who had not shown herself thus far finally made her first move. The de cut the string and consequently, the giant spidering through it fell instantly to the ground.

    But the broodmother was persistent. Another string was squirted and glued to the building Qin Feng was at. It was in hot pursuit once again.

    The building was seven floors high. This ce was obviously one of the high-ss residences in Han Town. Nheless, no matter how well-built this ce once was, it could not sustain under the broodmother¡¯s rampage.

    The beast raised one of its limbs vertically andunched a quick down-swipe with it. One of the building corners was effortlessly sliced off.

    Qin Feng rode the umbra stallion and dashed out from the building. The sliced building came crashing down to the ground and raised a cloud of dust.

    ¡®Blooming me!¡¯ Qin Feng grasped the short window of opportunity and slid his saber across one of the spider¡¯s limbs. Fire emerged where the de passed and another steel limb of the broodmother was removed.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The broodmother was enraged. Its other limbs swung rapidly toward Qin Feng, trying to tear him apart.

    Qin Feng could not be caught while he was on the stallion.

    Boom!

    Another building had fallen victim to the spider¡¯s assault.

    ¡®Bushfire!¡¯ Qin Feng once again triggered his ability.

    Fire sparks appeared in the shape of a fan on the Verdant Emperor Saber. Triggered by his inner force, the runes exploded outward and spread out a few ten meters wide.

    Even inner force as dense as Qin Feng¡¯s evaporated rapidly at this instance.

    Immediately, the me engulfed the steel-limb broodmother.

    Boom!

    Boom!

    The broodmother hopped up and down terrifyingly. The burning me on its body had greatly frightened the beast. It got more and more violent, and soon the entire area was demolished by the beast and had turned into an unrecognizable ruin.

    The giant swerved about wildly and finally put out the fire. The beast charged toward Qin Feng once it recollected itself.

    Qin Feng dared not brace the charge and could only escape with the stallion.

    It was indeed a terrifying battle. The loud noise trembled the entire Han Town. Qin Feng was gasping for air as his battle against the steel-limb broodmother was reaching its climax.

    ¡®What a tough opponent!¡¯ Qin Feng guessed that it was due to the giant size of the broodmother.

    The Dark-Robed Ripper was equally powerful but had a much smaller body size. Besides, Qin Feng was immune to dark runes. Those yed into his hand and greatly reduced the difficulty of that battle.

    It was an entirely different situation this time around.

    He needed little energy to avoid the Ripper¡¯s attacks but against the giant broodmother? Every evasion took great effort and concentration.

    Qin Feng would have been run over numerous times if not for the stallion¡¯s agility. However, the broodmother got a fair share of damage as Qin Feng managed to take away three of its limbs.

    ¡®Its weakness is going to present itself soon. Dark Shadow!¡¯

    Qin Feng once again blended into the darkness.

    He had battled for almost two hours now. Dawn was almost upon them as Qin Feng could see the first light on the horizon. The sky might be brightened up in another ten minutes or so.

    That was highly unfavorable to Qin Feng if the battle were to drag on to that point. He decided to take the risk and finish off the fight quickly.

    ¡°Xiao Bai!¡± Qin Feng summoned Bai Li to stand by his side.

    ¡°I want to teleport thereter, is it possible?¡± Qin Feng pointed at the abdomen of the broodmother.

    ¡°No problem!¡± Xiao Bai nodded.

    Actually, Bai Li could have defeated the broodmother easily if she were to turn into her fox form now. But Qin Feng thought that it was still too early for Bai Li to reveal her true power. He was even reluctant to use the Space de unless it was a real emergency.

    This exact moment was such an emergency.

    The broodmother was still crawling and had finally arrived above a pit.

    ¡°Go now!¡± Qin Feng ordered urgently.

    Bai Li grabbed Qin Feng and vanished instantly.

    Schawff!

    Their vision changed instantly and Qin Feng could see the lower abdomen of the steel-limb broodmother as he looked up.

    Numerous one-meter-thick reverse spurs were growing on the outer skin of the abdomen. It dragged out marks on the ground as the spider crawled by.

    If Qin Feng did not teleport into the pit but directly under its belly, the spurs would have pierced through both him and Bai Li alive.

    ¡®Sky Burning Sword Art¡ªzing Sky!¡¯

    Qin Feng drew up his saber and temporarily boosted his aura. The ze rapidly gathered around the Verdant Emperor Saber and shot straight upward.

    The fire runes vibrated rapidly and the resulting Hellfire erupted upward like ava fountain.

    The ze prated the steel-limb broodmother¡¯s abdomen instantly. Then, the skyward ze nted and broke through the broodmother thorax as well. Qin Feng had practically opened up a giant hole through the beast¡¯s body.

    The fire continued to rush higher and bridged with the sky. Instantaneously, the entire Han Town was lit red by the mighty me.

 Chapter 115 - Extermination of the Broodmother

    <h4>Chapter 115: Extermination of the Broodmother</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    The Sky Burning Sword Art was categorized as an A-tier martial arts. The greater the inner force was, the stronger the sword art would manifest.

    It was said that this art might even surpass S-tier if used by abatant with powerful inner strength.

    Though Qin Feng had mastered the sword art, hisck of inner strength meant that he could only manage one percent of its full potential.

    Despite that, the destructive force exerted by the third skill, zing Sky, was still rather astonishing.

    Schawff!!

    Two figures promptly reappeared. They were none other than Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    At the far side, the almighty broodmother struggled a few steps forward and suddenly felt abnormally light. That was because half of its body had just been cut off by Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    It did not die on the spot since insectoids were a species with powerful living force.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face looked pale and he could feel nothing left in his dantian. His forty clouds of inner force equivalent to that of F9-tier had beenpletely exhausted. Such was the price to pay in using a skill as devastating as zing Sky.

    Fortunately, he could still rely on his conscious energy.

    ¡®Dark Ray!¡¯

    Theser fell on the broodmother¡¯s head and snatched away its final trace of vitality.

    Thud!

    The broodmother was dead!

    The next moment, Qin Feng¡¯s core ability took over subconsciously. Unseen energy was being drawn in continuously from the fallen broodmother.

    The steel-limb broodmother¡¯s greatest strengthy in its ability to reproduce. In other words, its power represented the source of life. Qin Feng could feel that his blood was beginning to circte faster and his healing had been elerated to a point beyond his imagination.

    The wound that Qin Feng had been afflicted with in this fight was healing rapidly. Besides, though he still could not sense his inner force, he did not feel lethargic at all after the long battle.

    ¡°Not half bad!¡± Qin Feng gripped his fists and had a grasp that his body strength had just evolved into the F5-tier.

    This was when he heard the heavy rustling noise in the dark that came from all directions.

    insectoids would not interfere when their king was battling. The giant beast king would simply obliterate anything found on its path unselectively.

    It was also a means of the beast king portraying its supremacy. No creature was allowed to share the beast king¡¯s prey.

    The king¡¯s influence had vanished with the death of the broodmother. What was once the tip of the food chain had now be food itself. To other insectoids, the body of the broodmother was a rich source of nutrients.

    ¡°F*ck off!¡± The gem of darkness in Qin Feng exploded and formed a band of dark mist. The mist absorbed all light and covered Qin Feng, Bai Li, and the broodmother inplete darkness.

    The mysterious mist created a barrier that could not be seen through. Not only were the insectoids unable to escape but aptitude users that had been paying attention also could not perceive what was happening inside.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, quick! Harvest the loot, spider w, and crystal core!¡±

    Qin Feng was not doing this for charity. Naturally, he was going after the sumptuous rewards of killing a beast king.

    He had to summon the mist so that others would not learn about Bai Li¡¯s ability. Even though the beast materials were quite huge in size, people would only think that he had brought a spatial rune of extrarge space with him and suspect nothing.

    Bai Li acted swiftly. She made good use of her Space de and harvested all the eight limbs of the broodmother. Three of them had only half left, which the other halves retrieved by Bai Li into her personal rift earlier during the fight.

    She then raised her hand and created a space portal. Not long after, a crystal core of the size of a basketball appeared on her palm. It was the energy core that belonged to the broodmother.

    Qin Feng, meanwhile, rounded to the back of the broodmother and used his saber to cut open the beast¡¯s burned flesh.

    Blood of dark green color spilled out from the opening. Qin Feng continued to dissect the body and found its string nd in no time.

    The nd was evenrger than the core. It measured at three meters long and one meter wide.

    ¡°Catch this!¡± Qin Feng threw it to Bai Li for it to be kept together with other loots.

    Then, Qin Feng once again unleashed Hellfire. The giant body of the spider swiftly caught fire. It became brittle without the core to support it. The remnants of the horrific beast were incinerated and turned into a pile of ash.

    Coincidentally, the sun had risen at the same time and brought light to the ravagednd.

    The darkness was disced by the sunlight and Qin Feng came out from the dark mist together with Bai Li riding on the umbra stallion.

    ¡®Disperse!¡¯ The dark runes vanished altogether with the huge beast corpse.

    The remaining insectoids rushed over to where the broodmother was supposed to be but they found nothing other than ashes on the floor there. Their feed had just disappeared mysteriously.

    Some insectoids did notice Qin Feng and Bai Li but the umbra stallion stepped right through them and broke free like a weightless spirit.

    Qin Feng had escaped the battle zone in the blink of an eye and turned into a street.

    The insectoids were relentless and numerous worms swarmed the entire street behind them.

    Buzz!!

    Bloodthirsty beetles that could fly caught up to Qin Feng first.

    sh!

    Qin Feng simply waved his saber to kill two of the pursuers. The lowly insectoids would be no match to the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Yet, they seemed determined to drown Qin Feng by their numbers.

    ¡®Go to hell!¡¯ Qin Feng was furious and triggered his consciousness.

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    All of a sudden, the fire runes went wild and scorched the entire long street behind Qin Feng.

    Boom!

    The fuel tank of a few cars caught fire and exploded sequentially.

    Several thousands of insectoids were instantly killed by the st. Not a sign of life other than Qin Feng and Bai Li could be detected on the street after the explosion.

    ¡°Time to go!¡± Qin Feng pushed the stallion to gallop speedily forward. The insectoids at the rear were unable to chase after them as Hellfire was still burning bright.

    Though the entire Han Town was roamed by the insectoids, Qin Feng could not care less and used the main road under broad daylight. They soon arrived in front of a tall building.

    This was the ce where the broodmother had set up its giant web.

    ¡°Argh!!!¡±

    ¡°Kill me. End my misery now!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s so painful. Save me!¡±

    Qin Feng could hear the shrieking and groaninging from inside unceasingly.

    The people trapped by the web were not dead yet.

    The steel-limb broodmother would not kill them right away. It was using them as vessels and had injected its egg into the human bodies. The eggs would feed on the blood and flesh and slowly turn into small spiders. Those baby spiders would then consume the human from inside out. That was when the captured victims would finally meet their ends. But before that, they would first experience insufferable torture.

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    The me spread along the strings and burned the entire ce down steadily. These strings were still weak against fire even though it was produced by a beast king. Moreover, Qin Feng¡¯s Hellfire was more destructive than a normal me.

    The spider web finally crumbled and the hostages on it were being charred alive.

    Qin Feng witnessed the entire process from outside. He was not shaken despite the diabolical scene.

    He had gone through simr episodes in his previous life. In fact, way too much and way worse. Qin Feng no longer held unnecessary sympathy toward such tragedy. There was no better way to alleviate the sufferers from this living hell, he believed.

 Chapter 116 - Unwilling to change

    <h4>Chapter 116: Unwilling to change</h4>

    After the spider webs were burnt and destroyed, Qin Feng swaggered and returned near the hotel, he even went one round the area to clear up some of the insectoids that were inrge numbers.

    As soon as he returned to the forge, He Ling and the others had already returned from the hotel in front; however, they looked at Qin Feng with admiration and were also slightly puzzled.

    Despite the fact that the entire Han Town had fallen,municators could still be used by the people, and although some might not be able to see what had happened to Qin Feng at the outer part; however, some of them did manage to obtain recordings of him.

    One of the highlights was when he managed to get out from being surrounded by the insectoids.

    Qin Feng was leading in the front while being pursued closely by the insectoids from behind, the recordings had also clearly captured the moment of his angered expression.

    It was the anger that had ignited zing mes that covered the entire fifty-meter-long street, and the people had to stop recording and hide to avoid the mes, after Qing Feng had left, all that was seen from the window pane was burnt ruins.

    How powerful could that energy be?

    Besides, He Ling, Liu Xue and Liu Zhenshan were also there and had witnessed the recordings.

    Those who were being rescued from the basement had also witnessed it.

    All of them were shocked by the capability of Qin Feng and thought that they should have followed him earlier.

    ¡°Qin Feng, can I ask you a question?¡± Liu Xue hesitated for a moment and raised her question.

    All sightsnded upon Qin Feng while he was eating a meat jerky that tasted quite good, however it did not provide much energy and was only for his temporary fulfilment.

    ¡°What is it?¡± Qin Feng replied while he pulled out a strip and shared it with Bai Li, Bai Li stuck out her tongue after she took a bite.

    ¡°Spicy!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled and rubbed her head with his hand.

    Liu Xue felt that she could no longer let out her words.

    However, there was still doubt in her mind.

    ¡°Qin Feng, with your capability, you could have easily left, why would you not leave just now?¡±

    During the battle that took ce during midnight yesterday, the ten extremely skillful bombing shots from him had forced the beast king to retreat, and the scene was deeply imprinted into the minds of Wang Chen and two of the others.

    Until the next day, those who had witnessed the scene had even taken recordings of Qin Feng.

    All of them thought that it would be very easy for Qin Feng to leave.

    However, Qin Feng did the opposite and he had evene back.

    They thought that Qin Feng had a crush on the beautiful Liu Xue, however, from what had happened, that seemed to be an invalid assumption!

    Qin Feng looked toward the crowd.

    All of them were carefully observing him.

    They were d that Qin Feng was powerful, and at the same time, they also had fear within them!

    They were afraid that they would be left with no support after Qin Feng had left!

    Suddenly, an idea struck Qin Feng.

    ¡°Let¡¯s assume that this is an appreciation for Uncle Liu who has taken the risk to make the Verdant Emperor Saber for me!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    Uncle Liu did not demand for anypensation when he made the Verdant Emperor Saber, furthermore, he could have remained within the safe basement and waited for aid to arrive, it was Qin Feng who had exposed him to the risk when he brought him outside.

    Liu Zhenshan was touched by the reason behind it and felt a little embarrassed.

    ¡°No, Qin Feng, you are the one who has brought my daughter back, and I have yet to thank you for that, I could not be more thankful for your help!¡± Liu Zhenshan replied.

    Qin Feng muttered for a short while as he did not know how to reply, and he continued with his point, ¡°Other than this, I do have a colony that requires talents of all sorts, and I would like to recruit Uncle Liu that is well equipped with his skills!¡±

    At that moment, not only Liu Zhenshan, the others were all shocked!

    A colony?

    Wouldn¡¯t that be simr to Shi Tianhai?

    It would indeed be seen as inappropriate by others for him to recruit from other colonies, however, Liu Zhenshan¡¯s skills were only average and Liu Xue was the reason behind his achievements.

    What had Qin Feng seen in Liu Zhenshan?

    It had caught everyone by surprise!

    However, Qin Feng was firm in his judgement.

    Liu Zhenshan¡¯s skills were only average?

    In reality, it was Liu Zhenshan that had been used to the simple way of life for him and his family, and did not push himself for any improvements. If he were to leave Han Town, losing both his daughter and Qiao Yan, he would then seek to be stronger and might even grow into a highly skilled rune equipment master.

    It was the opportunity and willingness to improve that werecking in Liu Zhenshan.

    ¡°Well...¡± Liu Zhenshan was left speechless!

    ¡°Uncle Liu, the situation has changed for the fallen Han Town, and it will not be the same even if there were another recement of space stabilizing device, and there will not be much room for development, why not leave with me, and I will fulfil all of your will, including wealth, and safety for your entire life!¡±

    Liu Zhenshan was magically intrigued with Qin Feng¡¯s speech.

    Although Liu Zhenshan could not figure out the reason, he had a very good impression toward the young Qin Feng since they met each other, it was as if both of them had known each other for years and he was a trustworthy person to him.

    ¡°Liu, why are you still hesitating, I do agree with Brother Qin!¡± Qiao Yan urged on.

    If Qin Feng did not have his answer now, he might even leave immediately with frustration, who else would be left to provide protection for them?

    Furthermore, Qin Feng was right about what he said.

    Liu Zhenshan took the offer and nodded firmly, ¡°Brother Qin, I will honour your high hopes on me, and from now on, I will serve you with all I can!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a smile and replied, ¡°Uncle Liu, I was not asking for that much, but I am d that you cane with me!¡±

    Qin Feng felt even more assured now that he had a partner that he had before his rebirth.

    He had wanted change on some of the things, however, fate was not in favour for him, just like Zhou Hao.

    He had also wanted some of the things to remain, as those were the inseparable close ties that he had from the past, just like Liu Zhenshan.

    Now, everything has developed for the better.

    ¡°Well, Qin Feng, are you going to lead us away from here now?¡± Liu Xue forced herself to ask.

    Qin Feng replied without putting much thought to it, ¡°I¡¯ll leave it to Uncle Liu to decide!¡±

    Liu Zhenshan replied spontaneously, ¡°Qin Feng, you had a long night of battle, let¡¯s rest for now and leave that forter!¡±

    Indeed, Qin Feng was exhausted from the battle that he had with the beast king.

    Whether he was an A-tier ability user or an F-tier before he was reborned, it would be equally taxing for him to challenge a beast king or a beast general.

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Qin Feng agreed, after he had something to eat, he found a spot for him to rest, it was in the hotel right in front that provided afortable resting ce with a few mattresses.

    Xiao Baiy down beside Qin Feng and wrapped herself around him as she slept together with him.

    The others were afraid that they would disturb the both of them who were asleep together and went to another room.

    After about two hours of sleep, Qin Feng was awakened by a sudden scream!

    Qin Feng opened his eyes and observed the surroundings carefully, he expanded his consciousness to check if there were any danger.

    In the next moment, Qin Feng frowned!

 Chapter 117 - Ruthless

    <h4>Chapter 117:</h4>

    <h4>Ruthless</h4>

    Qin Feng was able to sense from his conscious energy that the scream came from the basement.

    It was from those people that were brought along by Liu Xue.

    They were all running out together, and the reason was unknown. When Qin Feng met with Liu Xue to bring her back, he had already encountered some plow worms and killed them, yet, it was obvious that that was not all of them.

    The people that ran out had caught the attention of the plow worms, therefore, the unfortunate ones were hunted down and eaten by the plow worms!

    While the people were screaming and hiding, Qin Feng had felt the same presence from his conscious energy.

    Liu Xue!

    ¡°Sight¡± from conscious energy represented perception!

    Being an F-tier, Liu Xue had a different level of physical sturdiness and conscious energy fluctuation from the others, therefore, Qin Feng could easily recognize her within a short time.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression instantly reflected that something bad was about to happen.

    Apart from Liu Xue, he was able to sense the presence of another beast general plow worm!

    ¡°Jeez! Why can¡¯t things go right for once?¡±

    Qin Feng immediately opened the door.

    At the same time, He Ling and the others were also standing in front of the door and not knowing whether or not to knock on Qin Feng¡¯s door.

    ¡°Mr. Qin!¡± He Ling was delighted and looked at Qin Feng. ¡°It is Liu Xue that...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m aware!¡± Qin Feng frowned and asked with an irritated voice, ¡°What is she doing down there?¡±

    Wang Chen immediately continued, ¡°We were discussing about leaving as soon as you are awake, however, it seems that Liu Xue has passed on the news to the others, and many of the survivors nearby are heading toward us, as they thought that it would be more advantageous bybining forces with us during our breakout!¡±

    Qin Feng reacted with a sneer.

    ¡°Combining forces? Aren¡¯t they afraid of being eaten up by the worms?¡±

    Some of them were aptitude users while some of them were merely ordinary people.

    It was not that Qin Feng was not willing to save them but he did not like being forced to do something.

    ¡°That was why Liu Xue went down? Does she have an excessive sense of righteousness or what?¡±

    He Ling and Zhao Xiang were unable to answer Qin Feng¡¯s questions. They themselves disagreed with Liu Xue¡¯s decision to go down, hence, they did not follow her. However, they realized that it was also inappropriate for them to ignore and not save Liu Xue.

    Wang Chen added on promptly, ¡°That¡¯s right, waiters from the hotel told me that those are the uncivilized people that cameter and disrespected the Liu family after they have arrived. They know who owns the ce, yet they are so shameless to the point where they want Liu Xue to rescue them now!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s because they are all wealthy people!¡±

    Qin Feng replied without any emotions.

    Liu Xue was one of them when the crowd escaped from Central Square, and most of them in that crowd were influential people that sounded arrogant by nature. This kind of behavior and attitude stemmed from the thinking that they were not like the poor.

    Those that were poor would not speak to Liu Xue in that manner.

    While Liu Xue might seem arrogant from her behaviour, she was actually excessivelypassionate to the others with her empathy and desire to help others, which was why those people had requested that Liu Xue go and bring them along.

    ¡°Then, Mr. Qin, should we still rescue Liu Xue?¡± He Ling asked.

    Whereas, Wang Chen said, ¡°I do think that Liu Xue would be able to handle it herself and she does not need us, we would not want to be involved in it although there might be more casualties without our aid!¡±

    Wang Chen might have sounded selfish with his thoughts, however, it was the best option for the moment.

    As Han Town had already fallen and was facing difficulties in sustaining itself, there should be no other resources to provide aid for the others.

    Furthermore, Qin Feng might be very capable in battle, however, would that be enough? It would always be easier to kill than to save others, and Qin Feng might not even be able to cope with it!

    ¡°The situation would be even more dire if I choose not to go, however, with her behaviour, she could only be in logistics once she has joined my colony!¡±

    Qin Feng was extremely agitated by the situation.

    He went along the safe passage and arrived at the basement, there were more than twenty of them that were in the chaos, joined by three plow worms, while another plow worm beast general was wreaking havoc amidst the crowd.

    Although the plow worms might seem to berge in size, however, they were merely G5-tier.

    Qin Feng was still low in attack power as he had just woken up, yet he was still able to kill a G3-tier razor-fang infant with his calm and coordinated moves.

    Therge number of people,bined with the rebirth of Qin Feng, if a G5-tier plow worm were to be surrounded by five people, Liu Xue would be able to go for an easily secured kill.

    However, all of them were scattered and had run as far as they could, while one of them that was being chased by the plow worm was running toward Liu Xue and intended to divert the plow worm to chase after her.

    At that moment, Liu Xue was caught in an inseparable battle with a G8-tier beast general.

    Obviously, the beast general was unable to take her down as she was a full tier higher than her opponent, and she just needed a little more time and she would eventually take down and kill the beast.

    Qin Feng stood at the entrance of the safe passage without any emotions while he raised up the energy gun in his hand.

    Poof!

    A blue light ray appeared along with an explosion and hit onto one of the people who was escaping.

    ¡°Ahh!¡±

    A miserable scream was heard before the person fell on the ground.

    Immediately, a plow worm rushed forward and devoured the human into its stomach with its mouth opened wide.

    Then, the plow worm twisted its body and prated back into the ground.

    One human was enough to keep the plow worm satisfied, it would then move to a safe ce to swallow its food.

    Furthermore, the plow worm would not dare to stay near any longer as ultra beasts would be fearful toward the presence of Qin Feng, they would immediately escape!

    Liu Xue was still caught in a battle as she saw the movements from Qin Feng, her eyes immediately widened like she wanted to say something.

    However, she did not have enough time to say anything to Qin Feng and could only increase the speed of her hand movements.

    ¡°Ice Palm!¡±

    A palm that was icy cold hit onto the body of the plow worm.

    Liu Xue performed a deadly hit and continued to release her internal strength.

    ¡°Frozen Ice!¡±

    A big patch of white ice had frozen the body of the plow worm!

    ¡°Ice break!¡± the plow worm took another hit from the palm and its frozen body shattered into pieces, the beast general plow worm had died!

    Before Liu Xue could gather up the loot, she turned around and looked at Qin Feng with anger.

    ¡°What were you doing, why would you harm that person!¡±

    ¡°Why would I harm that person?¡± Qin Feng looked at Liu Xue. ¡°Don¡¯t you know what he was about to do?¡±

    Liu Xue was well aware of it!

    Although it might be seen as inappropriate at that moment, he was just an ordinary human being that was trying to save himself.

    ¡°That could never justify sending him to his death. Furthermore, if you intend to help, shouldn¡¯t you just take a shot at the plow worm and kill it instead? Why would you kill that person, do you know that this would be equivalent to killing the innocent? You might even be charged at court for this!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a sneer. ¡°The court, who would put a charge on me, would it be you? With your position as the leader of the patrol team that has already been demolished? You should mind your own business!¡±

    Liu Xue was being insulted directly by Qin Feng, and she could feel that her cheeks had turned red.

    ¡°You are acting inhumane!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at Liu Xue in disdain.

    ¡°Being humane and allowing the people around you to set you onto the path toward death?¡±

    At that moment, those that had run away had returned, and there were five deaths from the battle earlier on, while the lucky ones that had survived looked at Qin Feng with fear.

    All of them had witnessed the scene earlier!

    Qin Feng looked at them without any emotions and pointed his energy gun at them.

 Chapter 118 - An Implied Warning

    <h4>Chapter 118: An Implied Warning</h4>

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how you all forced Liu Xue toe back for you but with this kind of behaviour, I would assume that your secondary mandatory education has been wasted! If you don¡¯t know how to use a gun, then you run for your life. If you don¡¯t even know how to do that properly, your ending would be the same as his!¡±

    Qin Feng pointed his energy gun toward the giant hole where the plow worm had just left.

    ¡°I¡¯m not an aptitude user from Han Town, and I don¡¯t have the responsibility to protect all of you. For those who are going to continue acting greedy for their own survival and not care about the big picture, be prepared to be fed to the worms, you¡¯d be doing us a favor since everyone would be safe once the worms are well fed!¡±

    Qin Feng sounded very harsh with his words.

    The shot that was fired earlier was actually an implied warning to the others!

    Those who were observing were frightened.

    They found out that the escape would be led by Qin Feng moving forward, he did not have muchpassion and was different from Liu Xue.

    However, the people had seen hope from his capability earlier.

    Liu Xue seemed to be in disagreement while tears had already rounded the rim of her eyes, her body was trembling!

    Qin Feng did not have anypassion for them.

    ¡°And you, do you think that you are invincible just because you are an aptitude user? Stop seeking for your own death, or else, I will stop rescuing you. I only came down here because I respect Uncle Liu!¡±

    Qin Feng turned around and left after saying so.

    The others saw the situation and immediately followed Qin Feng, none of them went tofort Liu Xue!

    Liu Xue looked as if she were lost as she looked up to the sky with tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

    ¡®Was I wrong?¡¯

    Was it wrong for her to save the others? Why would this happen to her?

    ¡°Do you wanna die? Why are you not following?¡± Qin Feng roared in anger from the front.

    Immediately, Liu Xue reacted and followed up as she did not even have time to address her sad emotions.

    Qin Feng was irritated as he frowned deeply.

    ¡°What a maverick, such a busybody!¡±

    Qin Feng ignored Liu Xue and continued to walk toward the forge with an agitated expression.

    There were about fifteen people that were following Qin Feng, and the waiters from the hotel saw them as soon as they regrouped with Liu Zhenshan; and immediately, the waiters had on an irritated expression.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°Uncle Liu, distribute the weapons to them, ask them, if they are not good with guns, save the hassle and rece it with knives!¡±

    Liu Zhenshan nodded. ¡°Alright, you can be rest assured, I am aware of that!¡±

    There were only three among them that were given guns by Liu Zhenshan, while his own staff were handed huge sized weapons as they were all familiar with weapons from their frequent visits to the equipment store.

    Before Qin Feng even had time to rest, sounds of battle ensued once more.

    It was from the front of the equipment store.

    Obviously, as mentioned by Wang Chen, they were those that wanted to join the escape.

    ¡°All of you hold the defense here, and I will head out to scout!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    ¡°Mr. Qin, be careful!¡±

    ¡°Stay here, Bai Li! Liu Xue, follow me!¡± Qin Fengmanded.

    ¡°Ah! Alright!¡± Liu Xue followed Qin Feng although she could not understand the reason behind it.

    Bai Li nodded and looked at the neers that had just joined. ¡°All of you have an obvious smell that would be easily detected by the worms, you can either wash it off or apply some of the beast repelling powder!¡±

    Those were none other than the smell of their excretions, it was because they had gone through the night in the underground basement that was in chaos and without any order; or else, they would not have heard about the news and thought of leaving the shelter.

    After all, the underground basement was not like the public bunkers readily avable under giant malls.

    The people were furious and embarrassed as they looked at Bai Li, yet they were afraid to voice out against her.

    From the video recordings yesterday, Bai Li did not fight during the battles; however, she was calm and coordinated during every escape or battle, as if she was used to it. Furthermore, she was Qin Feng¡¯s girlfriend; hence, all of the people were reluctant to go against Bai Li and could only adhere to the instruction of cleaning up and applying powder.

    ***

    On the other hand, Qin Feng led Liu Xue through a corridor and was moving forward.

    There were more than ten people in the equipment store, and among them, five were aptitude users with two F-tiers, and three G-tiers. The remaining ones were equipped with fire-fighting axes, knives, or guns.

    At the moment, worms were being attracted into the store and they were engaged in a fierce and merciless battle.

    A bloodthristy beetle flew over when Qin Feng appeared.

    Bam!

    A strong blue beam was projected from the energy gun held by Qin Feng, and it pierced through the skull of the bloodthristy beetle, sting it away.

    All of the others were surprised and delighted when they saw Qin Feng.

    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°And Leader Liu, we can now be saved!¡±

    It was as if the crowd had encountered their saviours.

    Qin Feng remained silent and raised his hand while a fire beam exploded and destroyed worms that were entering into the store within a split second.

    Although it was their second visible encounter sincest night, all of the people were still astonished by Qin Feng¡¯s ability.

    ¡°Qin Feng... ah, no, Mr. Qin, Han Town has fallen, let¡¯s break out together with all of ourbined forces!¡± An F-tier approached Qin Feng with joy in his eyes. However, that person also came with other intentions.

    Qin Feng ignored that person and looked at Liu Xue.

    ¡°How did they know my name!¡±

    Liu Xue¡¯s face turned pale.

    It was obviously her that had spread the news.

    When Qin Feng was asleep earlier, being the leader of the patrol team, Liu Xue insisted on defending Han Town that had already fallen. Sheforted the crowd and contacted the Coldstorm Battalion, now that they were about to attempt a breakout, Liu Xue also wanted to bring along the others.

    Or else, how would these peoplee across Qin Feng¡¯s name!

    However, after being scolded by Qin Feng, Liu Xue immediately felt guilty.

    It was not a problem for Qin Feng to leave with her family.

    However, how could he protect every one of these people?

    Qin Feng knew what had happened just by looking at Liu Xue¡¯s expression, heughed coldly, ¡°My capability is only for my own use, and I hope you can remember that it should never be taken as your bargaining chip to convey your righteousness. I will take the lead to battle during this breakout, and I will only mind my own business where nobody can request for anything from me. You are not the saviour nor am I a hero, do you understand me?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s warning served as a means to obtain themanding authority from Liu Xue.

    Afterall, these people only knew Liu Xue and respected her more than they did Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not want any of them to have the impression that he was just a pawn that could be easily ordered around to lead any battle.

    Liu Xue immediately hung her head low and replied, ¡°I understand!¡±

    Only then, Qin Feng acknowledged the few people that had just been rescued.

    After the conversation, the once delighted group became solemn as they realized that Qin Feng was not all happy about the idea of saving them.

 Chapter 119 - Breakout Route

    <h4>Chapter 119: Breakout Route</h4>

    Qin Feng was being honest with them.

    ¡°I wanted to break out previously but I didn¡¯t n on bringing too many people. You people are no different than grubs in the eyes of those insectoids. Having so many bug feed moving at the same time would attract the attention of those insectoids and I hope you are mentally prepared for that. The Coldstorm Battalion has assembled, my advice for you is to stay and wait for rescue!¡±

    ¡°If we wanted to stay, we wouldn¡¯t havee here... Qin... Mr. Qin, I hope you can bring us along!¡±

    One of the F-tier aptitude users started changing his tone. He did not dare to directly address Qin Feng by his name.

    At one nce, Qin Feng could see that they were begging him.

    ¡°Listen to my orders then!¡±

    Qin Feng got them to go to the back and wait for the others.

    ¡°Send out a message to everyone you know. We will attempt a breakout in one hour. Follow this route!¡± Qin Feng opened a map of Han Town from hismunication device. He drew a route and passed it on to Liu Xue.

    At first, when she saw the route, Liu Xue was a bit skeptical. But momentster, her eyes lit up.

    ¡°You¡¯re going to the orphanage? Do you n to save those kids?¡±

    Qin Feng answered calmly, ¡°Why else would I take this route?¡±

    The conditions of the orphanage in Han Town was not much better than Chengbei colony¡¯s. In fact, it was much worse. The road leading to the orphanage was very narrow, and it was a far off distance from the two town gates. Going there was an inconvenience.

    But this would mean that Qin Feng had to take a detour before being able to escape from the town!

    Still, Qin Feng wanted to go there.

    Children were the future of this world. Qin Feng himself was an orphan. He knew the helplessness felt by the orphans. If he did not rescue them, no one would.

    Moreover, they were the most vulnerable group.

    For a moment there, Liu Xue¡¯s feelings were rather jumbled up.

    ¡°I thought that you did not like to help people and treat them as a burden!¡± said Liu Xue.

    ¡°You thought correctly; they are a burden!¡±

    Qin Feng was referring to those who were underground.

    However, Liu Xue obviously misunderstood him. She was no longer afraid of Qin Feng. She even thought that Qin Feng¡¯s stern appearance was but a mask to conceal his true, kind self.

    ¡°Thank you so much, Qin Feng!¡± Liu Xue was grateful.

    Qin Feng felt that Liu Xue had misunderstood something, but he did not care to exin.

    More people started to make their way over in the next hour.

    Furthermore, some even messaged saying that they would wait along the route for Qin Feng¡¯s team.

    But those who were far away from them started crying for help. They were hoping that Qin Feng and his men would go to their locations, but Qin Feng ignored them all!

    Luckily, Liu Xue was not foolish enough to announce the details of Qin Feng¡¯smunication device. Qin Feng would have strangled her to death.

    But now, Liu Xue was put in a bind!

    ¡°Time¡¯s up! Get ready to depart!¡± Qin Feng gave the order.

    Within the hour, two hundred people had reached Qin Feng¡¯s location. They were all from around there. There were even people who were hiding inside their hotel rooms that were not found by the bloodthirsty beetles.

    Hence, there were quite a number of people who could fight in the team. There were a total of thirteen F-tier aptitude users and thirty over G-tier aptitude users. The rest weremon folks!

    But that would be sufficient!

    ¡°Ten people in one group, each F-tier aptitude user will take three G-tiers and seven civvies with you!¡±

    Qin Feng gave the order.

    It was a matter of life and death. The people were fast to move.

    The thirteen F-tier aptitude users received the order from Qin Feng. They went on to pick their team members.

    But of course, if fights were to break outter, they would not be able to take care of all of them. If the civilians could not keep up with them, that would be their fate.

    ¡°I¡¯m only going to say this once. Later when more people join our group, be sure to maintain formation. Aptitude users should form an outside perimeter while the civvies stay inside. I will only be killing the beast soldiers, generals, or arge batch of F-tier insectoids. Keep all your mouths shut, do not scream or yell! If you can¡¯t do it, tape your mouth!¡±

    Although Qin Feng was stern in his speech, it was for their own good.

    One of the mothers asked for tape to seal her daughter¡¯s mouth before doing hers. Her eyes were filled with determination.

    They could not stay here; they had to break out.

    Qin Feng took a nce at that mother. He then pointed at her. ¡°You¡¯re in my team!¡±

    The mother was startled as she obviously did not think that Qin Feng would choose her. After all, Qin Feng was the most powerful existence in the whole group.

    Other than Qin Feng, there were Wang Chen, Liu Zhenshan, his wife, four storekeepers, and the pair of mother and daughter. There were ten people in the group.

    As for why there were two F-tier aptitude users in the group, it was because of Liu Zhenshan and his wife. Qin Feng could not allow any harm toe to them.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand. He led the charge out of the hotel.

    The surrounding insectoids had been cleared by Qin Feng. It was safe to go outside.

    But one or two insectoids that popped up were quickly decimated by the rest of the people.

    As long as it was not some kind of unanticipated event, aptitude users were, after all, aptitude users. Their level of strength was enough to handle the current situation.

    However, in moments of retreat, there were bound to be idents. Death or injury was inevitable.

    Buzz!

    A group of ck insectoids appeared from a corner. It was the infamous bloodthirsty beetle.

    These beetles could reach up to F-tier. They were also capable of flying. They could smell the scent of fresh blood from a kilometer away.

    Those who were wounded in the battlefield were like delicacies giving off a great aroma. The group beetles swarmed at them.

    There were almost thirty over beetles in the swarm. The insectoid that led the charge was a bloodthirsty beetle beast general that stood at two meters tall. There were also three one point five meter tall beast soldiers among their ranks.

    No matter the beasts, once they got to a certain level, their strength and speed would increase dramatically. They were no match for an ordinary human being.

    The one point five meter tall insectoid was almost the same size as a human. They had the power to deliver an instant kill on an F-tier aptitude user.

    Qin Feng was riding on the umbra stallion. He ced his hand on the handle of the saber on his waist and unsheathed the Verdant Emperor Saber!

    The sword gave out a mesmerizing golden shine. A huge burst of me followed immediately.

    The umbra stallion leapt into the sky as if it were hovering midair to meet the bloodthirsty beetle beast general.

    sh!

    At the draw of the sword, the indestructible Verdant Emperor Sword carried a fiery glitter with it and chopped toward the insectoid. Before the beast general could react, it had already been sliced into two by Qin Feng.

    Another cross sh by Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber!

    ¡°Blooming me!¡±

    The fire opened up into a fan shape, sucking up the bloodthirsty beetles that were in mid-air.

    The burnt bloodthirsty beetle let out an agonizing buzz. In an instant, they were turned into char and fell out from the sky.

    Qin Feng attacked once again. After a few more times, the swarm of pursuing bloodthirsty beetles had been reduced by half!

    A few of the beetles charged into the crowd to evade Qin Feng¡¯s attacks. A moment of chaos ensued among the crowd. Luckily, the beetles were quickly in by the F-tier aptitude users.

    As such, the team continued to move forward.

    But there were too many insectoids. They had only managed to cross three streets in one hour. Normally, it would only take ten minutes.

 Chapter 120 - A Bloody Path

    <h4>Chapter 120: A Bloody Path</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Along the path, there were people who joined the group. In the buildings on both sides of the street, people were even waving at them with bedsheets.

    ¡°Save me! Help! There are insectoids below us, we can¡¯t get out!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t go, why are you leaving!¡±

    ¡°Bastard, are you just going to leave us to die?¡±

    When they saw that Qin Feng¡¯s team did not stop for them but were charging ahead, their eyes were filled with despair. They threw stuff down from the building angrily, wishing that they would die.

    Even Liu Xue¡¯smunication device was damaged!

    She was helpless.

    Wang Chen was escorting Liu Zhenshan and his wife. They were quite close to where Liu Xue was.

    ¡°If it were me I would¡¯ve destroyed themunication device, or I might end up dead from all the distraction. I¡¯ve saved you once pretty girl! Don¡¯t kill me now...¡± Wang Chenined.

    Liu Xue¡¯s face was pale. She forced a smile. ¡°Thank you!¡±

    ¡°No need, just stay out of trouble. These people need your protection. It¡¯s impossible for our team to clear the buildings. If they don¡¯t even have the courage toe down then it¡¯s out of our hands as well!¡±

    As Wang Chen spoke, he saw a few kids throwing down bedsheets from a building above. The children were climbing down the bedsheets. A swarm of beetles flew toward them, wishing to consume their tender, young flesh.

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    Wang Chen fired his gun and obliterated the bugs instantly to aid the children¡¯s escape.

    When the city had fallen, only the brave could survive.

    Qin Feng was clearing the path up ahead. He frowned as he came to a street.

    ¡°Prepare to detour!¡±

    Qin Feng said in a low voice.

    They came to a market in Han Town. There was a constant supply of meat and vegetables in the market. The market contained arge cache of food. When the town fell, the insectoids gathered here at this ce. The market was now the insectoid¡¯s hive.

    Furthermore, it was a hive for the ant insectoids.

    The cksteel ants were twenty centimeters in length. Their chitins were simr to steel. There were almost tens of thousands of them around. Qin Feng did not n to rm these bugs.

    Qin Feng led the group away from the hive. But obviously, it was rare to have so many food show up. The ants were not nning on letting Qin Feng and the group go.

    ¡°Run away, Xiao Bai, clear a path for us ahead!¡± Qin Feng yelled. He let the group escape first.

    ¡°Right! You guyse with me!¡± Bai Li was like a demanding queen. She flew ahead instantly. Some of the fearless insectoids appeared in front of her.

    Bai Li raised her hand. Before the crowd could notice anything, a white light shed past their eyes. The insectoids had been sliced in half!

    Her fingernails were all it took to deal with creatures of this level. She did not need the space de.

    Even the F-tier ancient warriors thought that Bai Li was using some kind of w technique. Although they were rare, there were still people who practiced the skill.

    Qin Feng who was riding on top of the umbra stallion leapt over the crowd and went to the back of the line. Therge army of cksteel ants had reached them.

    Thest in line was instantly attacked.

    Ka-chak!

    A cksteel ant chomped on the person¡¯s leg with its sharp mandibles.

    ¡°Arghh!¡±

    The man wailed in agony. He had lost a tiny piece of flesh from his feet that had on a pair of slippers.

    The pain slowed him down. More and more ants were surrounding him.

    Like a ck tsunami, the man was consumed and he fell onto the ground. Within the surging ck wave, the man¡¯s struggling body turned into a skeleton in an instant!

    Such was the terror of a bug wave!

    Qin Feng took a deep breath and his consciousness level drastically expanded.

    ¡°Carpet Hellfire!¡±

    Phwooh...

    A fierce patch of scarlet me appeared in front of Qin Feng. The me covered an area like a rug.

    Be it the fire that had torched the insectoids within the hotel or the hellfire that consumed the whole street on the previous day, Hellfire had evolved along with Qin Feng¡¯s gradual mastery of the ability. It had now developed into a powerful new ability.

    Carpet Hellfire was the official name given by Qin Feng.

    Like a carpet from hell, the cksteel ants were like walking over hellfire. They were torched by the me and perished instantly.

    Carpet Hellfire spanned for fifty meters, putting the street into a lockdown. Fifty meters away, even the legion of cksteel ants did not dare to give chase.

    Qin Feng saw that there were some other items on the street that would fuel his mes. If he did not collect back his fire runes, the me could stillst for another five minutes. It was enough to stop the cksteel ant army.

    He quickly rode his umbra stallion to get ahead of the team.

    Once again, a gigantic creature blocked the path of the team.

    It was the double-headed steel-back snail that Qin Feng had encountered before when he was about to escape.

    The crowd¡¯s terror level reached its peak when they saw the humongous creature.

    Even the F-tier aptitude users were scared to go ahead. There were panicked looks in their eyes, as if they were waiting for Qin Feng to return.

    Ssh!

    A wave of liquid had sealed off the path.

    The crowd retreated frantically.

    It was a steel-back snail¡¯s ability that was strongly corrosive. The effect ofing into contact with the liquid was simr to touching a strong acid!

    Only Bai Li remained fearless.

    The one who should be scared was the double-headed steel-back snail instead. After all, Bai Li was a real beast king.

    But then again, the double-headed steel-back snail was an insectoid with low intelligence. It was only capable of taking orders. It had no idea how terrifying Bai Li was and that she had concealed her aura.

    Bai Li strutted ahead and stepped over the liquid.

    The people up front looked on anxiously.

    ¡°Be careful, that¡¯s a beast general!¡±

    ¡°Ahh! She¡¯s gonna die, shouldn¡¯t we be helping!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s Mr. Qin¡¯s girlfriend!¡±

    As the crowd contemted, Bai Li had already raised both her hands. The white light shed past them once again.

    Bzzzt!

    Blood spattered outward as the steel-back snail¡¯s severed head rolled down the ground.

    Bai Li reached out her finger and shed across the top portion of the two severed heads. She collected the water-elemental ability core before moving forward.

    The crowd who saw the scene in front stared ahead nkly.

    A ck figure went past them at that moment. Qin Feng had already reached their side.

    ¡°What are you standing around for, go now! Are you going to feed the bugs?¡±

    After being yelled at by Qin Feng, the team started running once again.

    They used to think that Han Town was tiny in the past. It was no bigger than the size of a palm with crowded streets and enclosed roads.

    Now, they felt that Han Town was huge!

    They were only halfway to their destination after moving for three hours, and Qin Feng departed at one in the afternoon. After the three hours, the crowd was hungry and tired. If they were to continue moving at this pace, the casualties would be muchrger.

    ¡°Here! Get into this mall!¡±

    The mall was arge market built in the slums. Now, instead of two hundred people, there were five to six hundred people who had joined Qin Feng¡¯s exodus.

    <h4>Chapter 121: Something Fishy in the Underground Bunker</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    As the group grewrger, it became more chaotic and bloated as well. They attracted more insectoids wherever they went.

    Time for a cull!

    Qin Feng was the first to break into the mall.

    The market was in a mess. There were signs of insectoids inhabiting the ce.

    It was the knife-edge mantis!

    The mantes possessed sharp scythes as their front limbs. Even the ss and steel doors were unable to prevent them from marching in. The mantes did not live in packers however, and were much easier to clean up.

    Therge group entered the mall and started to get busy. They sealed off all venttion shafts and windows to form a defense perimeter!

    They finally had time to catch their breaths!

    There wererge quantities of food within the mall. They ate without holding themselves back.

    Although it was merely the second day of the doomsday, these people feasted as if they had not eaten anything for a week.

    The psychological stress had taken a great toll on them.

    Quite a number of them were crying. Some of them were even cursing. The whole crowd in the mall became rowdy.

    Bam!

    Qin Feng¡¯s gunshot sounded off once again. But it was not his energy weapon, it was his pistol.

    ¡°Looks like you guys haven¡¯t had enough, would you like to try living in the ends of time once again?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s eyes swept coldly at these people.

    The crowd turned silent instantly.

    In a cold voice, Qin Feng continued, ¡°If you can¡¯t hold it in then use themunicator. The rest of you, shut your mouth! Liu Xue, tally them up and divide them into groups!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Liu Xue hurriedly stood up and began counting the number of people.

    Five hundred people was not that many, but it was not considered little as well. If it were a middle school, thirty people would make up a ss. These people would just make up eighteen sses.

    But in such a situation, if chaos were to erupt among these eighteen sses, the only thing that would await them was to be turned into bug feed.

    Qin Feng was not asking them to restrict their movements, but he did not want them to give him any more trouble.

    After that, he went up to the roof of the mall.

    Wang Chen was already waiting there.

    ¡°Boss!¡±

    Wang Chen called out to him. After dividing into groups, Wang Chen had been by Qin Feng¡¯s side. To get closer to Qin Feng, he no longer addressed Qin Feng as Mr. Qin.

    ¡°How¡¯s it looking!¡±

    ¡°Some of the insectoids have either heard or smelled our presence. They¡¯re congregating toward our position. If we don¡¯t clean them up, there would be more of theming.¡± Wang Chen exined.

    Wang Chen as a gunner could also perform some surveince and patrol duties other than offering long-range firepower support.

    Just now, he had already climbed up to the top floor and surveyed their surroundings!

    Qin Feng nodded and walked toward a window. He observed his surroundings using his sniper rifle before looking at the rift.

    The rift that was left untouched was like a giant gaping mouth hole of a terrifyingrge beast. It could swallow up the whole of Han Town at any moment.

    Qin Feng knew that more and more insectoids would pour down from the rifts. It would be unstoppable.

    ¡°Let¡¯s not worry about that first!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Yeah, but boss, there are too many people breaking out from here with us! If you¡¯re still going to save the kids, we better be prepared!¡±

    Unlike the adults, the children over at the orphanage were a pitiful existence that waspletely powerless.

    ¡°I know, I¡¯ll be moving out tonight!¡±

    Wang Chen nodded without saying anything else.

    However, things would not stop moving just like that. Although there were quite a number of people who were breaking out from the zone, almost five hundred in number, the casualties along the way were not little as well. Some of the civilians were already panicking.

    When Qin Feng returned to the ground floor, Liu Xue was quick to meet up with him.

    ¡°Qin Feng, some of the civilians no longer wish to break through the encirclement with us. There¡¯s arge underground bunker here that can take in two thousand people, we should let them hide inside. We¡¯ll get them out when the Coldstorm Battaliones in to reim the lostnds!¡±

    They were the ones who wanted to break out from the encirclement. Now, they were scared for their own lives. Perhaps they would only understand the gravity of the situation when deathes knocking.

    Qin Feng did not reject their decisions.

    ¡°Whatever you say then. How many of them want to stay? Get a quick count and we¡¯ll leave right now. When night falls it¡¯ll be harder to get them moving!¡±

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve tallied up the numbers. About two hundred!¡±

    ¡°Ask them to pack their stuff, get them underground in ten minutes!¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Liu Xue quickly replied before letting them pack their items.

    Although there were supplies within every underground bunker, the crowd still filled up their bags found from the mall with food and water. They carried their puffed up bags and gathered round.

    Qin Feng led these people safely through the underground car park. There, they found arge steel gate.

    ¡°Please open the gate, there are no more insectoids outside. We are seeking refuge inside!¡±

    Liu Xue called out.

    There was actually amunicator outside the steel gate to prevent people from being identally sealed inside.

    In a short while, a voice came out from within the gates.

    ¡°There¡¯s no more room here, you¡¯ll have to go elsewhere!¡±

    The crowd who followed Qin Feng and Liu Xue was enraged.

    ¡°On whose authority? This is a public facility of Han Town, why can¡¯t we get in!¡±

    ¡°How could there be two thousand people inside, bullshit!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s going on!¡±

    Liu Xue too was furious.

    ¡°How could you be so selfish, did you think we can¡¯t go in just like that?¡±

    Liu Xue¡¯smunication just now was merely a formality.

    There was an emergency protocol built in in public facilities such as this to prevent insiders from stopping other people from getting in. Of course, to prevent others from being scapegoats, not everyone could trigger the protocol.

    Liu Xue mmed her palm on the side of the gate. A screen appeared. Liu Xue entered a string of codes without hesitation.

    But Qin Feng suddenly stopped her.

    ¡°Did you leak the news about us going into the mall previously?¡± asked Qin Feng.

    Liu Xue nodded. Slightly embarrassed, she said, ¡°Although we have switched routes and have stopped here, there could be more people who would want to join us in the evening. Moreover, we have caused quite amotion along the way. They should be able to hear us!¡±

    ¡°So, is there anyone in the underground bunker who wishes to join us?¡±

    ¡°Erm, there¡¯s none!¡±

    ¡°Not even one?¡± Qin Feng began to smile coldly. There must be something fishy going on here. ¡°Open the door then!¡±

    The code that Liu Xue had entered just now was interrupted by Qin Feng. Luckily, there were three chances.

    Once again, Liu Xue entered a series of codes. Qin Feng hit the final confirmation button. A buzzing rm sounded from the gate.

    ¡°Make way!¡±

    Qin Feng waved his hand and signalled for the civilians who followed him to stay back.

    Qin Feng¡¯s question just now had alerted the already startled crowd. After one whole day of surviving in such dire conditions, the crowd was already quick on their toes. After Qin Feng gave the order, the crowd dispersed and stayed away from the gates!

    After the gate opened up by more than half a meter, the dark barrel of a machine gun emerged and fired away underneath the dimmed lights.

    Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta!

    A hail of bullets began to pour.

 Chapter 122 - Grimy Side of the End Times

    <h4>Chapter 122: Grimy Side of the End Times</h4>

    The hail of bullets was nothing to a powerful ancient warrior.

    Furthermore, Qin Feng was an ability user.

    His consciousness was locked on to the bullets. They were not guided by a gunner¡¯s consciousness.

    They were just an ordinary outpour of bullets that had no consciousness attached to them. What an utter waste.

    But for Qin Feng, the act was simr to suicide.

    ¡°Negate!¡±

    He injected his consciousness into the bullets and controlled them remotely. The bullets turned around.

    Ta-ta-ta-ta!

    The bullets hit the shooters. A wail of agonizing pain came out from within.

    But there were also sounds of people drawing their sword to block off the bullets.

    ng! ng! ng!

    The speed of the bullets was not that fast. These people were able to shield themselves from the bullets. Their reflexes were pretty agile.

    It was like how Qin Feng used to parry the bullets with his Verdant Emperor Saber when he fought with He Li.

    At this moment however, the gate had beenpletely opened up. Within their sights, other than seven or eight corpses that were lying on the floor, there were three other ancient warriors who were wielding weapons.

    These ancient warriors had the capabilities of an F-tier.

    ¡°You¡¯ve got a deathwish!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s do this together!¡±

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    The trio¡¯s eyes were filled with a murderous intent.

    Butpared to Qin Feng, they were too weak!

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Qin Feng swung his Verdant Emperor Saber. The area was enveloped by the ring reflection of the ming sword before the trio was knocked back by his sh.

    ¡°Arghh!!!¡±

    Qin Feng closely followed the trio who had been knocked back into the underground bunker.

    Under the dimmed emergency lights, Qin Feng was able to see what had transgressed in the underground bunker. His pupils suddenly dted before he shifted his eyes away from the scene.

    Qin Feng stepped out from the room.

    ¡°Liu Xue, you should go in and console them!¡± said Qin Feng.

    Liu Xue did not understand what he meant. But when she entered and saw what was going on inside, her eyes widened.

    ¡°Animals!¡±

    There were only about a hundred or more people in the spacious underground bunker. However, almost a hundred of them were clustered in an area. There were twenty over young girls whose clothes were tattered. They were dazedly lying down on the cold surface of the floor. It did not take much imagination to know what they had gone through.

    There was also a pile of corpses in a corner of the room. Within a day, the corpses were already giving out a terrible stench.

    Liu Xue quickly went over. She found the girls¡¯ clothes and quickly helped them to dress up.

    ¡°You... are you here to save us?¡± One of the girls¡¯ stammered, her eyes filled with intense hate.

    Liu Xue did not know how to answer her!

    ¡°Yes, we¡¯re sorry, we werete!¡± Liu Xue replied with remorse.

    She did not even know what had transpired here.

    After the girls had put on their clothes, Qin Feng looked at the other hundred people. There were adult men and women in the group. There was guilt written all over their faces as they cowered in silence. They did not even make a sound after Qin Feng hade in with so many people.

    In one day, the whole world had seemingly copsed.

    ¡°What happened here?¡± Qin Feng asked in a low voice.

    The previous girl raised her head and looked at Qin Feng. Qin Feng was the first to enter. Although he did not kill the three F-tier ancient warriors, he had severely wounded them.

    ¡°It¡¯s them! It¡¯s them!¡± The girl gritted her teeth. ¡°We were hiding in the underground bunkerst night, they came and harassed us. My ssmates came to stop them, but they were all killed by them, they deserve death, death!¡±

    The girl weeped as she spoke. The other girls who were numb at first cried out as well.

    Therge mall did not only sell groceries. There were clothing and essory shops as well as a cinema and karaoke center at the top floor. It was arge department store.

    The girl had only been injected with the awakening potion early this year. She was a highschool graduate like Qin Feng. After the graduation, she had a gathering with her ssmates. As it was a holiday, everyone got together to have a singing session. When everything started falling apart, they went into the bunker in an orderly fashion!

    But no one would have guessed that this was the beginning of a nightmare.

    As F-tier ancient warriors, the scene was all too familiar. Status came with strength. Including the people that they had rescued along the way, they had be kingpins of the bunker.

    They molested one of the students who was good-looking. Some of the students who had been injected by the awakening potion had their ancient warrior potential awakened. As they were young and hot-blooded, a fight quickly erupted.

    The fight was more like a massacre!

    After killing the newbies, these people became even more reckless.

    ¡°They deserve death?¡± Qin Feng appeared to be repeating the girl¡¯s voice.

    She looked at Qin Feng. There were mixed feelings in her eyes.

    They did not know how Qin Feng would handle this matter.

    After all, aptitude users were the prized treasures of the colonies!

    If it were not the end times, aptitude users could ask for a settlement by paying them off with an amount of money that was considered trivial to the aptitude users.

    As she thought about this, the girl went into despair.

    But at that moment, they suddenly heard Qin Feng¡¯s voice.

    ¡°As you wish!¡±

    Although Qin Feng had knocked the three ancient warriors back, he did not kill them. He had only wounded them severely.

    But right now, he was walking toward the injured trio without hesitation.

    ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± One of the F-tier ancient warriors put on a brave face.

    ¡°Mr. Qin! We did something wrong!¡±

    They had seen videos of Qin Feng before. They knew how strong he was, but they thought that they would get lucky.

    However, they were defeated the moment they met. It had crumbled whatsoever confidence they had.

    It was hard to believe that this person could possess such powerful abilities.

    Was he a gunner, or an ancient warrior, or an ability user?

    No matter what he was, Qin Feng¡¯s abilities struck fear in them.

    ¡°Being sorry doesn¡¯t mean anything with mere words. I personally hate sand that get stuck in my eyes. If you¡¯re really sorry then pay the price!¡±

    After saying so, Qin Feng swung his Verdant Emperor Saber. Another ring me ensued!

    The ring knife edge had sliced off his opponents¡¯ necks. Their severed heads rolled on the floor but no blood came out from the wound. They had all been turned into char.

    Qin Feng charged up his Asteroid Assimtion. The three F-tier ancient warriors¡¯ internal energies were absorbed by Qin Feng instantly.

    When they saw the scene, the girls who had been assaulted did not feel afraid at all. Instead, they felt much better!

    Dead, these people who had abused them were dead!

    ¡°Are you going to break out of this encirclement with us, or do you want to remain here!¡± asked Qin Feng.

    The girls went silent. Only the first girl asked him in a hoarse voice, ¡°Will you protect us?¡±

    ¡°Only you can protect yourselves!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand. He threw a pistol in front of her.

    The girl stared at the pistol before clutching it tightly.

    ¡°I¡¯ming with you!¡±

    At that moment, the girl realized something. She was never interested in killing before. But now, she was passionate.

    Only by having power could she protect herself. The only person she could trust was herself!

 Chapter 123 - Aura of the Beast King

    <h4>Chapter 123: Aura of the Beast King</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Perhaps it was because of what had transgressed in the underground bunker, some of the people who were with Qin Feng abandoned their wish to stay in the underground bunker. They had decided to break through the encirclement with them.

    Among them were mostly young, beautiful women.

    Qin Feng came down with two hundred people. But when he left, he brought an additional fifty people with him.

    ¡°Liu Xue, get them some clothes from the upper floors!¡±

    Their clothes were tattered and could barely cover the important parts of their bodies. There were three or four hundred people in the mall right now and Qin Feng did not want any additional problems to arise!

    Liu Xue nodded and took them for a change of clothes.

    Luckily, the floors had been cleared by Qin Feng so nothing eventful happened to them.

    Night had fallen and the smell of food was too intense around here. Insectoids had started to gather, and soon, the whole building was surrounded.

    Qin Feng was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed as he meditated on his dantian.

    His qi had increased after killing some people just now. Qin Feng used an absorption ability to harness the qi.

    After the sparsely spread qi were absorbed by the veins in his body, the qi underwent a refinement process and quickly became part of Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy.

    ¡°The Asteroid Assimtion is getting stronger!¡±

    Qin Feng could sense that as his internal energy increased, his Asteroid Assimtion skill was improving as well. He could feel a subtle field enveloping his body that was endlessly consuming the spirit aura from both heaven and earth.

    The people that he had in had been turned into a total of five qi clusters this time around. Including the previous ones, Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy qi clusters came to a total of fifty.

    His internal energy had exceeded an F9-tier ancient warrior¡¯s by five times.

    The internal energy was strong and came in an endless stream.

    ¡°Huff!¡±

    Qin Feng exhaled once and opened his eyes.

    At this moment, Bai Li was sitting beside him. She was so bored that she had started ying games on themunication device.

    On the other side, about five meters away from him, a girl had appeared as well. It was the girl who had received Qin Feng¡¯s pistol in the underground bunker.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, thank you for what you did!¡± The girl was emotionally more stable now. Although her eyes were still swollen, her lips cracked, and her face bruised, her eyes were glimmering.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t introduced myself, I¡¯m Shang Na!¡±

    ¡°Hi!¡± Qin Feng nodded. ¡°I¡¯m Qin Feng. This is my girlfriend, Bai Li!¡±

    Bai Li raised her hand in acknowledgement. She continued to be engrossed in her game.

    Shang Na smiled. ¡°Your girlfriend is cute!¡±

    Qin Feng gave an approving ¡®you¡¯ve got good taste¡¯ look at Shang Na.

    Shang Na was not trying to tter Bai Li as Bai Li was really a perfect goddess that was imprable.

    Her perfection had made Shang Na feel ashamed of herself.

    ¡°Ourmunication devices had been destroyed by those people yesterday, or we would have sent out word. I¡¯ve heard about you from the team, you seem to be pretty strong! Bai Li as well!¡±

    Perhaps she was afraid that Qin Feng would think that her words were meaningless so she paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°I was injected with the awakening potion this year as well. On the fifth day, I was able to awaken the ancient warrior talent!¡±

    Having an awakening on the fifth day meant that she had great potential!

    Even Zhou Hao could only awaken after ten or more days.

    But of course, it was one thing to have a natural talent. Aptitude was a whole other story.

    Shang Na smiled bitterly. ¡°I was afraid of danger and I didn¡¯t dare to go into battles. I never wanted to train, I was afraid of pain and injury, that¡¯s why I hid my own strengths. But now I realize how foolish I was!¡±

    Such was the way of the world. There were people who could not get what they wanted even if they begged for it. But there were also people who did not appreciate what they could get easily.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I know that you are an ability user as well as a very powerful ancient warrior. Can I learn ancient martial arts from you? I¡¯ve heard that you have a colony of your own!¡±

    All these while, Qin Feng had been quietly listening to her. The girl had a terrible past. He even felt that without the awakening, the girl would have died in the city!

    Qin Feng¡¯s act today had undoubtedly changed the history of Han Town.

    Many people who were supposed to die were rescued.

    Many people who could have lived died instead!

    Qin Feng looked at Shang Na¡¯s determined pair of eyes. He then finally spoke.

    ¡°If you manage to get out from Han Town alive, you¡¯re weed in my colony!¡±

    It meant that he did not reject Shang Na.

    Shang Na was, of course, overjoyed!

    ¡°Thank you so much!¡±

    She did not stay around and disturb Qin Feng. She needed to rest and fill herself up with food, or she would not be able to escape the next day.

    Furthermore, she would have to defend herself with a gun.

    After resting for a while, Qin Feng once again sprung into action!

    Night was the best cover. It was also Qin Feng¡¯s domain.

    As night befell the fallen city, the umbra stallion leapt silently into the building.

    Qin Feng brought Bai Li along in the darkness.

    This time around, they were not hunting for targets. Along the path, they did not attract the attention of any ultra beasts.

    ¡°Found it!¡±

    It was an entrance to a transport hub.

    To put it urately, it was like a transport depot in Chengbei colony. Vehicles would depart from here. There were still about three trucks remaining.

    Since these vehicles had to travel into the wilderness, the sses were reinforced. There were also strut bars outside the truck and a machine gun on top.

    Qin Feng leapt into the truck. There was no key inside, but it was not a difficult task for Qin Feng.

    He tinkered around with the circuit and soon the truck came into life!

    The insectoids naturally swarmed the truck as they heard the engine.

    ¡°Bai Li, scare them away with your aura!¡±

    ¡°Oh! That¡¯s a piece of cake!¡±

    Bai Li channeled out her aura instantly. The insectoids could sense her beast king aura and retreated in fear.

    After starting up the truck, Qin Feng towed another vehicle and headed straight for the orphanage.

    After twenty minutes, the truck stopped outside the orphanage. The insectoids had been scared off by Bai Li¡¯s aura. Qin Feng focused his consciousness on the orphanage. There were no insectoids around, but there was no living person around as well.

    Of course, it did not mean that everyone in the orphanage had already perished. On the contrary, they were unharmed and hidden in the basement.

    Qin Feng could not care less about those people who cried for help in themunication device, but that did not mean that he was aloof. The orphanage in Han Town was tiny, there were only about a hundred over children inside. These two trucks were enough to carry them.

    ¡°Bai Li, can you leave your aura here to keep the insectoids from closing in?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    What would she use to assert dominance in the area? The thought of what she might use made him feel rather devious!

    Bai Li nodded.

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Hence, under the careful eyes of Qin Feng, Bai Li plucked some hair from her head that looked like a patch of beautiful fur.

    ¡°Huff!¡±

    She blew the hair, scattering them across the trucks and the ground.

    ¡°With these fur, the insectoids wouldn¡¯t dare to close in!¡±

    Qin Feng suddenly felt that he had been overthinking it.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    He rode the umbra stallion and went back with Bai Li.

 Chapter 124 - Carpet Hellfire

    <h4>Chapter 124: Carpet Hellfire</h4>

    There was not a single human soul out in the middle of night, but there were more and more insectoids gathering around the mall.

    Even if there was beast repellent scattered about, the collective breaths of the people were still being dispersed. With adequate food around, it was a possibility that the insectoids wanted a full meal or to hunt to feed their offspring.

    To leave them alone until morning would mean that the insectoids could break in at any moment and kill everyone.

    Liu Xue and the others were patrolling vigntly, looking through a small window.

    ¡°What should we do? Should we clear some out?¡± He Ling suggested nervously.

    The people around him did not respond. Nobody knew what was the best course of action. Even Liu Xue would not dare give suggestions right now as the price of a wrong decision would be someone¡¯s life.

    ¡°Boss isn¡¯t back yet?¡± Wang Chen kept ncing at themunicator on his hand. He was looking at the time.

    Wang Chen naturally had Qin Feng¡¯smunicator number, but things had not reached a critical moment just yet. If he rashly called Qin Feng, and ended up with nothing definitive, then it would only show that Wang Chen was not very useful.

    So he endured on.

    He could only wait for time to pass and hope that Qin Feng would return soon. It was not just him, those around him were also thinking the same thing.

    ¡°Why isn¡¯t Mr. Qin back yet?¡±

    It had only been twelve hours and Qin Feng had be a pir for these people to rely on. Without him, they would not have been able to hold out here, neither would they have had the confidence to escape.

    ¡°Beast general! There¡¯s another beast general!¡± Wang Chen quietly sounded out, with a trace of fear in his voice.

    In the darkness, they could see the silhouette of a beast general knife-edge mantis.

    Previously in the hotel lobby, a beast general knife-edge mantis had appeared as well. It moved at a neck-breaking speed, the dizzying strikes of its sickle-like ws harvested up to three lives.

    With the existence of something like this, there was nothing that could be done to deal with it.

    The beast generals were not as patient as the insectoids, and they would not be deterred by the beast repellent powder. Rather, they would begin their rampage toward the mall and start killing everything in sight.

    As for right now, five beast generals were spread out in all four directions of the mall.

    One would not dare imagine what sort of scene would ensue if they were to break through!

    Only this time, a burst of me suddenly came from down the streets.

    Dark red mes rose up into the night sky, but the burst of me did not fill the air with light. The dark mes swallowed the disturbed uproar that was the swarm of insectoids on the streets.

    The mes ignited everything around them, but there was no smoke cover, nor was there a wave of heat that would warm its surroundings. Everything would have been in a calm quiet if it were not for the pained screeching of the burning insectoids.

    Qin Feng walked through the mes. This fire was made by him, naturally he would not be harmed.

    Carpet Hellfire was not a be-all end-all ability, it would not be enough to kill off some of the stronger beast soldiers with strong vitality!

    Skree!

    That only made the insectoids angry!

    ¡°Nice. I don¡¯t need to go looking for you!¡±

    Qin Feng watched as a knife-edged mantis shed its wings and flew toward him. Its wings were thin like a cicada¡¯s, but it stretched itself outward and pressed forward. The way it handled its sickle-like ws indicated that it was quite skillful with them.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    No matter how skilled it was, facing Qin Feng meant the end.

    The Burning Sword re erupted outward as Qin Feng and the knife-edged mantis moved past one another.

    It was not until Qin Feng had moved ten meters away that the huge knife-edged mantis copsed onto the ground and got consumed by Hellfire.

    Knife-edge mantis beast general! in!

    It was just a momentary face-off and Qin Feng had killed the knife-edged mantis within seconds. He did not stop moving, continuing his advance, not even stopping to look at the mantis.

    The dark umbra stallion once more entered the darkness, Qin Feng¡¯s position changed and another street was engulfed in mes.

    All four directions were cleared, and Qin Feng took down four beast generals! With all the necessary materials collected, his body also felt thefort of advancing.

    ¡°F6 tier!¡±

    It seemed like fighting for an entire day had its rewards!

    Of course, as Qin Feng¡¯s strength increased, the energy he absorbed after killing ultra beasts also increased. Before his rebirth, Qin Feng¡¯sbat ability was brilliant. No matter how seriously injured he was, his wounds would be repaired after killing something.

    As a result, death was not something serious to him.

    The moniker of ¡®Madman Qin¡¯ was stuck with him for a very long time.

    Nowadays, his kind ofbat method had advanced. Thanks to his darkness ability, Qin Feng was free toe and go without being worried about getting injured.

    After clearing the four directions, the other insectoids were spooked enough to start retreating with their tails between their legs, and Qin Feng returned to the mall.

    Looking at the time, it was already 2am in the morning.

    ¡°Boss! You¡¯re back!¡±

    ¡°Mr. Qin, we truly need you. The beast generals were like paper paste!¡±

    ¡°What do you mean the beast generals were like paper paste? It¡¯s clearly Boss being strong, that¡¯s what!¡±

    Everyone was talking one after another, a string of excited chatter filled the air as they felt relief over the fact that the beast generals were gone, their words bing louder and bolder.

    Of course they were excited!

    Qin Feng, this man, was a rising legend!

    To have fought together alongside him, which perhaps in the future, would be something to boast about.

    It was like ying a game, with one god-figure guiding the rest ahead and the way being cleared, the relief was overflowing.

    ¡°Everyone go back and have some rest, we will move at 7am tomorrow morning to find something good to eat!¡±

    Qin Feng interrupted the people¡¯s enthusiasm. After all, after a full day of fighting, nobody¡¯s body was made of steel. The same applied to aptitude users.

    Qin Feng was naturally arranged to be in the most luxurious ce. There were several ces in the mall that sold beddings. The mattresses and futons were all brand new. He also took the liberty of bringing Bai Li with him.

    ¡°Not bad, I wanna buy one when I get back. Hubby, yours looks so ugly!¡±

    Qin Feng was speechless, it was not like he chose a defective product, but as a man, choosing somecey, frilly pink sheets[1] was not something he would do!

    ¡°Alright alright, if you like it then set it up yourself. This is free after all!¡±

    ¡°You mean things like these can be free?¡±

    ¡°Only in small towns upied by the enemy. Don¡¯t try this in any of the stores in Chengbei!¡±

    Qin Feng and Bai Li went on to discuss severalmon sense subjects. Bai Li was smart and could make her own analogies. This saved Qin Feng a lot of time.

    The next morning, when Qin Feng woke up, he could not find the soft and delicate body beside him. He furrowed his brows and immediately came to his senses.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness twitched and he sensed Bai Li¡¯s location. She was upstairs.

    What was she doing upstairs? Qin Feng called the other one¡¯smunicator.

    ¡°You¡¯re awake!¡± Bai Li quickly said, soon after that, her appearance popped up on themunicator¡¯s screen.

    Only thing was, she was actually wearing a set of sexy lingerie[2]...

    ¡°Puh!¡±

    Qin Feng felt that the morning¡¯s firepower was a bit too strong, to the point where blood was almost gushing out from his nose.

    [1] Pink is a very romantic color, theces and frills only emphasize how masculine it is. Its 2020. Nobody¡¯s gonna judge.

    [2] Isn¡¯t she...like...an...airfield?

 Chapter 125 - Escaping Han Town

    <h4>Chapter 125: Escaping Han Town</h4>

    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Qin Feng tried to maintain a straight face.

    ¡°I¡¯m looking for the clothes I like! There aren¡¯t any as good as the ones we have on our side, I don¡¯t want any!¡± Bai Li said with a huff, putting her clothes on and leaving with disappointment.

    An entire night wasted thinking about it and ending up with nothing good!

    Qin Feng.: ¡°... Well, next time I¡¯ll take you shopping at a better ce,e down first!¡±

    Seeing that the light of spring had been covered up, Qin Feng felt a sense of regret.

    The transportation in Han Town was not very developed, it was nowhere as modern as therge cities. The backward industry also led to the simplicity and antique-style of the clothing here. While Xiao Bai was vain, she was no cheapskate. The clothes were decisively abandoned by her.

    After a rushed breakfast in the morning, the remaining five hundred people continued to set off. This time, the teams were reorganized and the people were able to follow in a neat fashion. Everything was progressing smoothly.

    Perhaps it was because Qin Feng only epted those who came on their own and did not save the survivors trapped in the buildings, the people entering the group were significantly fewer than the people blindly escaping yesterday, but there were more aptitude users and people with normalbat abilities.

    As they got closer to the orphanage, the number of people breaking out began to skyrocket. Where was this ce? It was a slum!

    Everyone had to fight hard, otherwise the next day they would just be another body in the stinking ditches. So theirbat potential was stronger and their drive for survival higher.

    ¡°Retreat to the orphanage¡¯srgest building and rest!¡± Qin Feng gave the order and the crowd flooded into the orphanage. This was Han Town¡¯s orphanage and it was not designed to amodate so many people at once.

    After resting for a while, the insectoids eventually gathered. The people that barely had their stomachs filled began to flee again.

    Qin Feng took Wang Chen ahead of time and went around the corner of a street to get the two trucks.

    ¡°Boss, you were not spending your time getting thesest night, right?¡± Wang Chen looked at Qin Feng with amazement.

    ¡°We don¡¯t have time for nonsense, you drive one and keep up with me!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Yes, Boss!¡± Wang Chen quickly got on a truck and drove after Qin Feng, following left and right until they entered the underground parking lot.

    The underground parking lot of the orphanage was very small and as it was not used very much, no one cleaned it up. It was dark and damp in there.

    The darker and damper, the more likelier there would be plow worms.

    As the trucks moved forward, the roars of the engines startled and mobilized the plow worms.

    Boom!

    A plow worm erupted from the ground, intercepting the truck bying up in front of it. Qin Feng did not hesitate to expand his conscious energy.

    ¡°Firebeam!¡±

    A zing beam shot forward, impacting the body of the plow worm.

    Boom!

    The plow worm was blown into pieces by Qin Feng¡¯s firebeam and even the burning bug flesh exuded a scent of fragrance. The plow worm¡¯s body contained a high quantity of protein and it had highly nutritious meat.

    Qin Feng gave Bai Li a nce.

    Bai Li naturally grasped the idea. When the truck was further away from the area, Bai Li used her spatial maniption to put the body of the plow worm into her pocket space.

    Not only that, all of the plow worms that were still burrowing around in the dirt in the general area were sliced by the Space de, and the fragments were sucked into Bai Li¡¯s space.

    Above ground, Wang Chen, who had been following Qin Feng¡¯s truck, did not know what had transpired.

    After a few tens of meters, they smoothly drove to the gate of the defensive facility of the underground parking lot. Qin Feng had already contacted the orphanage¡¯s teacher¡¯smunicator by then.

    ¡°Ms. Liao, you cane out now!¡± Qin Feng¡¯smunicator broadcasted. After a while, the big metal gate slowly opened up.

    A mature beauty with a pair of gold-rimmed sses came walking out, following her were several young children, all holding tightly onto her hands or surrounding her. This was the orphanage¡¯s volunteer teacher, Liao Ying, a G3-tier ancient warrior.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, thank you for your help!¡± Liao Ying thanked him quickly.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face remained serious. ¡°Now¡¯s not the time for that. Ms. Liao, take the children into the truck. Everyone else, get ready to go!¡±

    Qin Feng drove the truck in front of the group without hesitation. While it seemed dangerous, with Qin Feng¡¯s help, this was the safest option. The cars that were blocking the road were arbitrarily or directly removed by him.

    Maybe it was because of Xiao Bai¡¯s fur, or that the insectoids have not moved into the periphery, their exit was very smooth.

    The moment they left the city walls and Han Town¡¯s moat, the people were actually excited seeing the wilderness.

    ¡°We¡¯re out! We¡¯re out!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re saved!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ve finally left. Dad, mom, I will live on for you!¡±

    After a brief cheer came a stream of sobs and tears.

    There were people who were confused about their future. Most ordinary people had never left the colony and did not know where to go.

    On the other hand, the rich people who had already gathered contacts were eager to get to other colonies and lie low until all the fuss was over.

    It was day three since the spatial rifts had opened up. The Coldstorm Battalion heard the news and had arrived as a response. At this time, they saw more than two thousand people appearing and were surprised by the turn of events!

    The leader of the Coldstorm Battalion quickly weed them.

    ¡°Liu Xue!¡±

    ¡°Commander Jiang Chi!¡± Liu Xue quickly walked over.

    ¡°You rescued all of them? Liu Xue, you¡¯ve done us a great service this time! Such is a task worthy of our Han Town¡¯s most beautiful, and most incredible captain!¡± Jiang Chiplimented with a hint of yearning in his eyes.

    Jiang Chi was thirty two years old, strong physically but had never been married. As the regimentalmander of Han Town¡¯s army, he was F7-tier in power, second only to the mayor.

    At this time, Shi Tianhai had alsoe over. In three days¡¯ time, Shi Tianhai seemed to have grown ten years older.

    It was because this was a devastating blow.

    ¡°Liu Xue, you did well, it¡¯s all thanks to you this time. The people from Fu City will be here in two days. Then, you and I can reim lost grounds!¡±

    The Coldstorm Battalion became a stationed troop, but then for the small Han Town, this troop only consisted of five hundred people. Of the five hundred, only ten were F-tier. If they were to encounter a dozen blood-thristy beetles, the entire army would be wiped out.

    ¡°I cannot take credit this time. Fortunately, because of the crystal shell beetle a number of aptitude users arrived at Han Town, otherwise we would not have been able to break out!¡± Liu Xue said bitterly.

    Shi Tianhai¡¯s face hardened. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for them, our spatial stabilizing device wouldn¡¯t be damaged and you¡¯re still thanking them? I think they should be held ountable, my town wouldn¡¯t have been destroyed if it weren¡¯t for this!¡±

    Of course, him being angry was useless.

    They did not even know who did it. Even if they did, how would the other party afford to make reparations?

    The aptitude users with their new lease of life ignored Shi Tianhai. After leaving the dangerous Han Town, they nned to part ways.

    Qin Feng spotted Liu Xue in the crowd along with Shi Tianhai and Jiang Chi.

    He came over, the aura of his body was unsuppressed. The aura of an F6-tier ancient warrior made Shi Tianhai and Jiang Chi carry themselves more properly.

 Chapter 126 - Gathering the Orphans

    <h4>Chapter 126: Gathering the Orphans</h4>

    ¡°Hello, Mayor Shi!¡±

    Qin Feng stretched his hand out, the steady expression on his face stunned Shi Tianhai for a while, but he shook hands with Qin Feng out of habit.

    ¡°Hello, and you are...¡±

    ¡°Mayor, this is Mr. Qin Feng who brought us out. He was the one that helped us out a lot, and even rescued the children from the orphanage!¡± Liu Xie said enthusiastically.

    The corner of Shi Tianhai¡¯s lips twitched slightly, and a bit of impatience shed in his eyes. He was already in deep water, and Qin Feng had to go save a group of inconveniences. How was he supposed to deal with all of this?

    These rescued children, would they not just add on to the mountain of problems they already have?

    How could Qin Feng have not noticed Mayor Shi Tianhai¡¯s expression? His face hardened, and he decided to no longer be polite.

    ¡°Mayor Shi, I think Han Town is in a dire situation. I just happen to know a colony that can take these children in. Han Town is upied by the enemy and until it can be reimed, I¡¯m sure I can find a safe ce for the orphans. So leave it to me!¡±

    Shi Tianhai was overjoyed when he heard this.

    ¡°Okay, since this is the case, I¡¯ll hand this to Mr. Qin. A truly virtuous move from you, Mr. Qin!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s as I should!¡±

    Qin Feng did not want to be courteous with the other party, so he excused himself for needing to deal with the orphans and left.

    Jiang Chi felt a sense of wariness in his heart, especially when he noticed the expression on Liu Xue¡¯s face when she wasplimenting Qin Feng and showing her admiration.

    ¡°Liu Xue, who is this Qin Feng guy? And what about the other colony?¡± Jiang Chi asked.

    Liu Xue smiled bitterly. ¡°Even I don¡¯t know that, what I do know is that he¡¯s very powerful. He took down a steel-limb broodmother all by himself. His strength is incredible. Oh Mayor, Jiang Chi, I also intend on leaving with Mr. Qin!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    The two shouted in unison, in utter disbelief that Liu Xue would actually say that.

    Regardless of how Liu Xue proceeded to exin to the two of them, Qin Feng, who had returned back to the crowd, had gotten even more frustrated.

    There were two thousand people that had escaped from the colony. After arriving in a safe ce, it had turned into a mess. Many people did not know what to do in the future, after escaping, they did not eat nor drink but instead could not help but start worrying.

    ¡°The Coldstorm Battalion will handle it!¡±

    ¡°Wait for them to solve it? Dream on! They didn¡¯t try to help out before!¡±

    ¡°Onwards to Lixian Colony! I happen to have rtives there!¡±

    ¡°So long as there¡¯s money in mymunicator, anywhere is okay!¡±

    ¡°Are we really leaving? Han Town¡¯s finished just like that? How am I supposed to live on?¡±

    For the poor, this was a disaster. For the aptitude users, it was merely a new beginning!

    At this time, a group of aptitude users wanted to leave, but it was the question of how they would do it.

    After all, they had sessfully escaped but there were only two trucks avable, which were a raremodity now. Very soon, a quarrel ensued.

    ¡°There¡¯s no ce for the orphans to go, why are you asking us to get off the trucks?¡± Lian Ying asked angrily.

    ¡°Can¡¯t I use it to go to another colony? Why are you being such a nuisance? Back off or I¡¯ll kill you!¡±

    ¡°No! The bus is not for you!¡± Liao Ying was obviously angry too.

    It was at this time that Qin Feng returned. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Qin Feng asked calmly. His aura was unsuppressed, anyone would know that he was seething with rage.

    One of the aptitude users suddenly rushed over, offering a cigarette.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, we¡¯re nning on using the truck to leave this dump. Do you want to join us?¡±

    Qin Feng sneered. ¡°The bus is meant for carrying the orphans.¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t we already escape? Just pass them over to Han Town¡¯s people and call it a day! We helped save people, it¡¯s not too much to demand for a truck from them!¡± the man said in a rather pompous manner, believing that what he said was justified.

    Qin Feng gave a stiff smile and said, ¡°You saved other people? On the contrary, I think I was the one who saved you, so if I were to demand for your life right now, that wouldn¡¯t be too much to ask would it?¡±

    The man finally got the meaning behind Qin Feng¡¯s words. ¡°Mr. Qin, what are you talking about?!¡± He looked at Qin Feng anxiously.

    Qin Feng looked around, there were still a bunch of F-tier aptitude users around him, almost half of the ones that came to Han Town before the crystal shell beetle attack. Undoubtedly, these were outsiders, not local Han Town aptitude users.

    ¡°From today onward, these orphans belong to me. They are my, Qin Feng¡¯s, people. I want to bring them with me, on my truck, and you want to take that from me?¡±

    The people were shocked.

    ¡°No, no!¡±

    ¡°Mr. Qin! I was wrong! I didn¡¯t know!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir. I didn¡¯t actually want to take the truck, I just... came over to take a look!¡±

    The group hurriedly tried toe up with excuses for themselves while the loud and arrogant one did not dare to speak up, quickly apologizing and slinking into the crowd.

    Liao Ying was very surprised.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, you want to take care of these orphans?¡±

    Everyone was worried about where they were going to go next, as a teacher of the orphanage, Liao Ying must have been even more so.

    The person in charge of the orphanage had run away long ago, leaving her alone as a volunteer. When she heard Qin Feng¡¯s words, she felt at ease.

    Qin Feng was a strong person. A person this strong, with a small sum of money, it would be enough to find a ce for these people.

    Qin Feng nodded at Liao Ying, and looked at those around him and said, ¡°I have a newly built colony, which is still under construction. Those of you who are currently facing a life dilemma, you cane with me and help out in the urban defense and development to be residents of the colony. You can receive a residential area free of charge ording to the poption and may even work in the new colony in the future. Those people who want easy work, don¡¯t like to work, or those who want to spend their days idle are those that I dislike and are noting with me!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s remarks caused a sudden uproar among the crowd. Qin Feng actually had a colony?

    If a new colony were born, would that mean new developments?

    Undoubtedly, as the first batch of citizens, they would get better treatment and perhaps with a change of ce they would be able to change their destiny.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, where is your colony?¡±

    ¡°Mr Qin, what¡¯s the colony¡¯s name?¡±

    ¡°Are you the colony¡¯s mayor?¡±

    Qin Feng answered the questions one after another, and then handed the matters to Liu Zhenshan to let him count the number of people.

    As for Qin Feng, he naturally went back to Han Town to grab a few more vehicles to drive back. He even brought overrge tents and sleeping bags for people to sleep in.

    Except that this very night, many were not exactly able to fall asleep easily.

    In the early morning of the next day, Qin Feng came out of his tent and saw a group of people waiting near it.

    Other than Liu Zhenshan and Liu Xue, he first saw Wang Chen, those three that cooperated with him before, the newly awakened girl that they rescued from the mall, Shang Na, and the teacher of the orphanage, Liao Ying.

    ¡°Boss, for your colony, do you need aptitude users? What do you think of us?¡± Wang Chen said with a wide grin on his face.

 Chapter 127 - Returning to Chengbei

    <h4>Chapter 127: Returning to Chengbei</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°You are greatly weed!¡±

    Without a doubt, Qin Feng had reaped quite a haul with his return to Han Town.

    Among them were more than thirty aptitude users that followed Qin Feng, with four of them being F-tier aptitude users.

    There were about six hundredmoners that followed Qin Feng to Fengli colony.

    These people were impressed by Qin Feng¡¯s words. In fact, most of the poor were homeless, and they had been paying attention to the news of a new colony, but the wilderness was a dangerous ce. Few people left for another colony with only the clothes on their backs.

    Qin Feng¡¯s request did not just ensure them a safe journey, it also offered them a new lease of life.

    The most important thing was that they saw just how powerful Qin Feng was.

    ¡°Mr. Qin is an ability user, his future achievements are definitely going to be good!¡±

    ¡°Such a leader would be able to protect us! Better than that Shi Tianhai guy!¡±

    ¡°Liu Zhenshan is going too, Captain Liu will surely go as well!¡±

    ¡°The new colony is definitely better!¡±

    With these ideas in the minds of the masses, they journeyed with Qin Feng.

    Due to therge number of people and the limited number of hovertanks, Qin Feng led everyone through the longer way there. Perhaps it was also Bai Li¡¯s vigil that deterred the more aura-sensitive ultra beasts from attacking the convoy, which allowed them to go through smoothly!

    A weekter, Qin Feng finally returned to Fengli colony. At this time, Fengli colony was being built up rapidly, because of the invasion from the extra-dimensional beings many materials have undergone ground-breaking changes. For example, the addition of the mucus of a type of insect in the cement greatly increased its firmness and had it drying faster.

    All kinds of building materials had been upgraded to have a greater effect.

    A ten-story high rise building could be built in as fast as a month¡¯s time, and a colony would be formed within half a year with a sufficientbor force!

    When Qin Feng arrived, Xue Xingfu had already arrived to greet him. It had not been half a month and Xue Xingfu still looked the same, while Qin Feng had be even more enigmatic.

    ¡°District governor, it¡¯s been half a month since you were gone! You¡¯ve really be someone who just puts work into other people¡¯s hands, huh?¡±

    The head of this colony was naturally divided ording to Chengyang City.

    The colonies surrounding Chengyang City were also the strongest colonies. There were also colonies much further away, but they were far away from Chengyang City, much like Han Town to the Fu City.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Fengli colony was not that far away, and a public route was set up which had be a new district. Naturally, the head of the district was Qin Feng.

    ¡°I¡¯ve troubled you greatly, but I¡¯m afraid moving forward, you¡¯ll be even busier!¡± Qin Feng said with an apologetic smile.

    ¡°I¡¯m exhausted!¡±

    The two people discussed the current situation, and Qin Feng handed over the six hundred people to let Xue Xingfu figure it out. Among them, Liu Zhenshan and the others were the most important.

    After that, Qin Feng took three cars full of people and headed to Chengbei colony.

    This included more than a hundred orphans and some young women, including the mother and daughter who taped their mouths shut that time they first escaped with Qin Feng.

    These were pretty much those under his special care.

    At the gate of Chengbei colony, the three vehicles entered and the garrison immediately stopped Qin Feng¡¯s car after realizing the situation.

    ¡°Come down and ept the inspection!¡±

    The duty of the garrison troop was to protect the colony. If a group of people were to rush into the city, this was something worth investigating.

    Who knew what sort of diseases they could be carrying, or what parasites, which may threaten the entire city.

    Qin Feng opened the door and got out of the car. Without him even saying a word, the other party was dumbfounded.

    ¡°Uh... Mayor Qin! H-hello!¡± The man quickly saluted when he recognized Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng froze, then thought of what Zheng Yang said to him back at Zimu Mountains. To others, the dark rifts had only been gone for half a month. There was no way to carry out construction on those two mountains and they had be part of Qin Feng¡¯s backyard so to speak. For outsiders, it was unclear what this meant.

    As someone who had performed exceptionally well while on the battlefield, Qin Feng seemed to be a hero.

    ¡°Hello, these people are orphans I¡¯ve brought back from Han Town. I n to send them to the orphanage here!¡±

    ¡°I see!¡± The garrison trooper hesitated for a moment then put his foot down, saying, ¡°Then, you can go ahead first, I will inform the doctor and tell them to go ahead with the examination and prepare some antibiotics.¡±

    ¡°Thank you!¡±

    ¡°No, Mayor Qin. Just doing our duty!¡± The trooper quickly waved his hand.

    Qin Feng returned to his car and drove into the colony. Chengbei was naturally more prosperous than Han Town. It was so close to Chengyang City that it could basically be considered as a neighboring district, many things here were synchronized with Chengyang City.

    Towering buildings, brightly dressed crowds, aptitude users that were umon in Han Town were all over here, there were even many children who happily went to school.<sup>1</sup>

    When passing by a building, a video was ying on a big screen on the outer wall of arge building.

    In the video, there was the scene of Qin Feng wielding the Verdant Emperor Saber, shing away at F-tier zombies. Not only that, he also killed a Burning Ghoul. Due to the drone¡¯s overhead shots, the shot was perfect, beautiful and exciting to watch.

    When the screen was doing a yback, a deep voice rang out.

    ¡°Heroes, always on the road!¡±

    ¡°Heroes, immortal in battle!¡±

    ¡°Heroes, fearless and persistent!¡±

    ¡°Heroes, are there among you!¡±

    It was a promotional video by Zheng Yang! Although it was not specifically naming Qin Feng as a hero, there was without a doubt that after the Corpse Corps incident on Zimu Mountains that everyone recognized him as a hero.

    Not only that, he had also be the leader of a colony.

    Then the picture changed, and it was actually an image of Qin Feng. He was not sure when this was taken, but he was holding Bai Li¡¯s hand, tugging her along as they stood on a gray, ashynd and looking off into the horizon.

    Then severalrge letters emerged: Fengli colony, waiting for you to create!

    After seeing that, Qin Feng suddenly felt very dissatisfied!

    Xue Xingfu was actually advertising this here. He even put an image of Bai Li. Qin Feng was not informed about it at all!

    After realizing that pretty much everyone had seen Bai Li¡¯s face, he felt very unhappy! The little fox was his!<sup>1</sup>

    When Qin Feng¡¯s expression became gloomy, those in the car with him werepletely stunned. Although they knew Qin Feng was powerful, being on thisrge screen was obviously different.

    ¡°It¡¯s Mr. Qin!¡±

    ¡°Boss, that¡¯s so cool that you get to be on the big screen!¡±

    ¡°So it turns out that Ms. Bai Li¡¯s a superstar? Very photogenic!¡±

    Once again, everyone felt that Qin Feng was unfathomable!

    Qin Feng was utterly speechless.

 Chapter 128 - Heâ€™s Qin Feng, You Know

    <h4>Chapter 128: He¡¯s Qin Feng, You Know</h4>

    Inside the orphanage¡¯s building.

    ¡°Sorry to trouble you this time, elder dean!¡±

    ¡°You rascal, don¡¯t say that, you¡¯ve helped a lot this time!¡± Dean Lin Derong said emotionally before sending people to help manage the group that Qin Feng brought over. ¡°Qin Feng, I was indeed right about you, but you¡¯ve just grown up so fast, so fast that it¡¯s shocking. You must remember that it¡¯s the taller trees that will have their tops blown off. You need to remember to keep a low profile!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. If it were before his rebirth, he would have naturally done so as it would have been the right thing to do. It waspletely different now. If he wanted to stay low, the only thing he would have to leave in the dark was his dark ability. Other times, he had to remain high profile.

    ¡°The towering tree deprives other creatures of their nutrients to protect the birds above. Elder dean, I won¡¯t let you down!¡±

    Lin Derong froze for a moment, thenughed uncontrobly. ¡°Okay! We¡¯ll go with yours! Fight on!¡±

    Qin Feng left another 5 million and the meat of the plow worms before leaving.

    The orphanage had be more depressing as ofte.

    Although the tragedy in Qin Feng¡¯s previous life did not happen, in the past half a month where he had not visited, the children¡¯s immune system had be weaker. They suffered from colds, fevers and viral infections, in the end more than twenty of them had passed.

    Compared to the situation before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, it was considered much better. However with so many children gone, the orphanage seemed rather dismal.

    With the new children joining, he believed that the mood might be uplifted a little.

    Of course, against the pressures of survival, this was one of the ces that Qin Feng should provide a lot of aid to. After the Fengli colony was built, Qin Feng was sure that the children would have a better living condition.

    After leaving the orphanage, Qin Feng found a deserted area to have Bai Li bring out his hover car. The car was previously parked in front of Liu Zhenshan¡¯s shop. After the rift opened, Qin Feng had Bai Li put it away and now it was finally taken back out.

    After returning to Qinghu Garden, and for not having a good break in a long while, Qin Fengfortablyy in therge bathtub in his loft, Bai Li was beside him wearing a bikini.

    Hmm, with a figure like that one could not help but get a nosebleed.

    Qin Feng was d that Xiao Lian from before called Bai Li t.

    After one whole night of rxation, Qin Feng was woken up by hismunicator with a call from Zhou Hao.

    ¡°Madman, didn¡¯t you say you are back already? We need to do an overall test and find teammates today, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re noting?¡±

    On the way back these past few days, Qin Feng and Zhou Hao were in contact, and Zhou Hau had urged him several times, much like this time, that he must not miss the Spring Hunting Garden!

    Good thing Qin Feng managed to rush back. This time, Bai Li became a small fox again and rode shotgun.

    After being in a humanoid form for so long, Bai Li did not exactly like turning back into a fox. When in the human form, she had to focus on maintaining the shape of the physical form, and in fact, it was a kind of full body transformation. Not only that, human fingers were extremely flexible. For Bai Li, controlling these was a kind of exercise.

    Although the trip to Han Town allowed Bai Li to obtain another beast king crystal core, her strength had also increased by a lot. Yet, she still did not have much of a chance to shine!

    Qin Feng really treated her like a pet.

    Draping herself around Qin Feng¡¯s shoulders, she let out a yawn and went back to sleep.

    Qin Feng got out of the car and stepped into campus. After that everything immediately felt different.

    To say that he was just a face among the crowd of students back then would not be an unusual thing to say, but now almost all of the people who had seen him screamed with excitement.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°Hey, is that the ability ss¡¯s Qin Feng who¡¯s also an ancient warrior?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s so amazing!¡±

    Among the cheering, there was a girl who boldly approached him.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you going to take part in the month-end test today and look for a team?¡±

    Qin Feng was not too frigid. He kept walking but he answered the other¡¯s question. ¡°Yes!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a shame that I¡¯m a sophomore. If, if youe back from the Spring Hunting Ground and the team has been dissolved, I hope you can consider me!¡±

    Qin Feng. ¡°... We¡¯ll see then.¡±

    It was considered a polite rejection!

    ¡°Ah, thank you Qin Feng!¡± That girl happily dashed back and openly announced, ¡°Qin Feng said that he¡¯d give me a chance!¡±

    Qin Feng: ¡°... I didn¡¯t even say anything.¡±

    Since he was gaining too much attention, he started to pick up the pace and those who were eager to try and go after him simply could not keep up.

    Qin Feng quickly arrived at ss. Only this time, something unimaginable happened.

    ¡°Qin Feng, the Spring Hunting Garden¡¯s about to start. You should join our team!¡±

    ¡°Yeah Qin Feng, take me aboard and I¡¯ll use my Tailwind Assist to make you run speedily!¡±

    ¡°Outta the way, you wind-element ability user, you¡¯re just an auxiliary support ability user!¡±

    Qin Feng furrowed his brow at the group of twittering teenagers. Did they not look down on him thinking that he had low elemental affinity before? Why did they want to join up with him for the Spring Hunting Garden now?

    Qin Feng was not going to have these expressions of good will and join this group of people.

    ¡°Sorry, I need to discuss some things with my teammates!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Who? With the genius Zhou Hao from the ancient warrior ss?¡±

    ¡°Aw jeez, if Zhou Hao¡¯s with Qin Feng, they¡¯ve already won!¡±

    This group of people stared at Qin Feng with greater intensity! After all, those two together were too strong, everyone knew that Zhou Hao was a certified G-tier ancient warrior!

    In the eyes of these students who had only newly awakened for two months and been in the school for a month, Zhou Hao¡¯s capabilities were already extremely powerful. Qin Feng was naturally strong as well, but it would never ur to them that Qin Feng had already reached F-tier.

    Even if the advertisement was broadcasted everyday, they still believed that they could stand a chance against Qin Feng¡¯s power.

    Just as they were about to say something else, the teacher of the ability ss, Cheng Chao, finally arrived and dispersed those surrounding Qin Feng.

    ¡°Qin Feng¡¯s back? Perfect, and I thought you¡¯re not attending this time¡¯s Spring Hunting Garden!¡± Cheng Chao was obviously delighted. He thought that Qin Feng would only be back the next day! ¡°Everyone prepare yourselves, this time we¡¯ll do the first examination. This exam is very important, I hope you don¡¯t embarrass yourself. If your score iscking, you may not find a team!¡±

    ¡°Ahh?!!¡±

    The students were suddenly in an uproar.

    Soon, with the announcement spread across the whole school, the people from the ability ss also followed the rest to the central square. People of all sses were dispatched one after another. This year, more than three hundred freshmen were seated on the stands beside the square.

    Of course, because the central square was surrounded by the other buildings, those within the lecture floors could still see the rest of the square.

    Just above Qin Feng¡¯s original ss, among the ability ssmen, Li Yaoyao was among the onlookers.

    Trantor¡¯s Thoughts: Ah. The mandatory ¡®Tournament Arc¡¯! Lets goooooo!

 Chapter 129 - Qin Feng was Dead Last

    <h4>Chapter 129: Qin Feng was Dead Last</h4>

    Li Yaoyao was surrounded by her peers. They were chatting feverishly.

    ¡°Heree the new recruits of the abilities ss.¡±

    ¡°Is Qin Feng with them?¡±

    ¡°Perhaps. However, despite being an outstanding ancient warrior, he may not be an ability user in equal.¡±

    ¡°Yet I heard that his conscious energy level is off the charts. He can even use telekinesis!¡±

    ¡°Is that so? Nheless, ability user or not, he would still make a formidable teammate. Our university is going to take the first ce for sure this time!¡±

    Lee Yaoyao was looking dejected. ¡®Too bad we are not in the same year. Or else, I could join him at the Spring Hunting Ground this time and mend our rtionship.¡¯

    In the middle of the square, the headmaster of Chengbei University, Deng Nian, had once again taken the center stage.

    ¡°This evaluation depends greatly on what kind of teammates you manage to recruit. There¡¯s only one way to gather strong allies, which is by having considerable strength yourself. Thus, I hope you will give it your best and bring out everything you have learned in the past month. Don¡¯t be shy to demonstrate the best of your abilities in front of the crowd!¡±

    ¡°Now, we wee the first ss of the 69th batch to showcase their talent!¡±

    The first ss would undoubtedly be the abilities ss.

    Qin Feng walked down the participant seats and was ushered to the square with the others.

    Cheng Chao was standing beside them, and he announced proudly and spiritedly, ¡°Release the runes!¡±

    It was like this had been rehearsed multiple times. The students standing beside Cheng Chao became serious and triggered their strong conscious energy to unleash the runes stored within them.

    The released runes covered their masters and beamed in different colors.

    Their ss rep, Zhao Yu, was the one with the best rune affinity. She scored A in that category, meaning that Zhao Yu was capable of absorbing fifteen runes in ten minutes and ny runes in an hour. However, restricted by her consciousness, the maximum time Zhao Yu could perform meditation and absorb runes was capped at two hours per day.

    Besides, concentrated runes usually came with a hefty cost. The efficacy would plummet further if one were sensing and harvesting runes that dispersed freely in the surrounding.

    Even so, Zhao Yu had still attained more than one thousand runes in one-month. She also now possessed three G-tier fire abilities.

    Zhao Yu was the student closest to G-tier in the entire ss. She was no doubt a destined prodigy.

    She would be the sole spotlight of the 69th batch if Qin Feng had not emerged.

    Buzz!

    The red-colored runes climbed above one meter high and surpassed everyone on the stage. Her red runes were the most eye-catching among the color palette.

    She was the undisputable first in her ss.

    Aside from her, there was another alien among them. Naturally, that would be Qin Feng.

    He had not taken part in the ss before and knew nothing about the details of this exhibition. Hence, he was one step behind everyone else.

    Qin Feng realized what he had to do only when others had already pushed to their limits to ascend their runes.

    ¡®I see. So we are asked to demonstrate our runes? I better not reveal too much about my ability.¡¯

    Qin Feng would not be shy of flexing his muscles on other asions but his dark me would stand out too much amidst the orange-red mes of other students.

    As such, Qin Feng only slightly activated the most basic level of fire runes and appeared unpromising.

    He was on the other extreme end aspared to Zhao Yu so he ended up with the same amount of attention from the audience.

    ¡°Ah, why is Qin Feng¡¯s rune so timid in size?¡±

    ¡°I heard that he has a low affinity to begin with. Moreover, he seldom attended ss. That exins his subpar ability.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s truly unexpected. So he is mediocre after all.¡±

    Cheng Chao felt helpless seeing that Qin Feng had be the center of attention.

    Qin Feng¡¯s affinity was only at G-tier, which was lower than most ability students.

    Cheng Chao believed Qin Feng would fare better if he had chosen the path of a gunner or an ancient warrior.

    ¡°At ease!¡±

    Though he had such thoughts running through his head, Cheng Chao did not forget that they were in the middle of an exhibition and continued to give out orders.

    The students retracted their runes swiftly. It took a toll on their conscious level to materialize the runes. Besides, most of them were overextending their power to impress the audience. To maintain the rune output in such a state for more than half a minute was the best the students could manage.

    Qin Feng also quickly put out the rune mes around him. He did not look upset despite the crowd¡¯s doubtful stares.

    ¡°Qin Feng¡¯s ability is unexpectedly underwhelming!¡±

    ¡°Well, ability and rune affinity are not the only things that matter inside the hunting ground. Qin Feng¡¯s prowess in martial arts and gunfights is not to be overlooked. He is still a strong first-ce candidate there.¡±

    ¡°I agree. Even without the talent of an ability user, Qin Feng is still better than a lot of them. Don¡¯t forget, he single handedly challenged an F-tier beast king!¡±

    Now that they had witnessed his rune capacity, the audience was curious to find out who Qin Feng would choose to be his teammates next.

    Ignoring the murmuring crowd, Cheng Chao continued to give out instructions to the students. The abilities ss this term only had thirty students. Five of them took a step forward to demonstrate their unique abilities first.

    This was the moment one could tell who was the real deal.

    Some could release mes, fogs, gusts, or falling rocks, which were all considered useful. Nevertheless, the brightest spotlight once again belonged to Zhao Yu!

    She first released a ball of me, followed by three simultaneous burning bolus in three separate directions, and she ended her performance with a fiery ring around her. Those attacks hit all rubber dummies prepared by the university and set them on fire.

    A lot of ancient warriors and gunners noted her name down mentally and wanted to invite her to their team.

    Qin Feng was naturally thest to step up since he had rehearsed nothing.

    He did not move a finger after the other four students that shared the stage with him had done their parts.

    He could mask his true ability by exhibiting the most basic runic power but any skill of his level now would immediately give out his disguise. Yet, if he were to do nothing, then he would be looked down upon.

    He contemted and finally stepped forward.

    In front of the rubber dummy, Qin Feng directly swung his fist and hit the dummy with his inner power. Two countering forces immediately exploded and formed a whirlpool of energy.

    Boom!

    The loud bang that resulted from Qin Feng¡¯s fistnding on the dummy stunned the crowd.

    The rubber dummy first twisted in shape, then burst into pieces.

    The impact of Qin Feng¡¯s fist was as deadly as explosives!

    On the grandstand, Deng Nian¡¯s mouth slightly curved upward.

    ¡®From the looks of it, Qin Feng has once again be stronger. But he is an abilities ss student. Why did he use martial arts instead? How is he going to be ranked in this case?¡¯

    The training dummy was actually also a measuring tool. It would trante a student¡¯s power into a number after it had received the attack from the student. Qin Feng¡¯s battle power reached 5,000 points after he shattered the dummy with his bare fist.

    ¡°The maximum limit!!¡±

    ¡°So Qin Feng is as powerful as a G9 user now?¡±

    ¡°Wonderful!¡±

    ¡°Indeed, even without fancy ability, Qin Feng is still the strongest!¡±

    Unsurprisingly, Qin Feng was deadst when the final ranking of abilities ss came out.

    After all, the ranking was based on ability and not martial arts!

    His ssmates would be infuriated if Qin Feng were ranked top using an unqualified move set.

    ¡°I only got 890 points. That¡¯s way offpared to Qin Feng¡¯s power.¡± Zhao Yumented. Her ssmates around her quickly gathered and patted her to console her.

 Chapter 130 - Chen Ming in One Piece

    <h4>Chapter 130: Chen Ming in One Piece</h4>

    ¡°Zhao Yu, don¡¯t worry about it. You are more than capable of earning the G-tier badge. I am confident that you will be given one if you get a good grade this time. You might not even need to kill a monster.¡±

    ¡°Stop worrying about things you can¡¯t control.¡±

    ¡°Yeah. Don¡¯tpare yourself to that physical freak. What he did could hardly be called an ability!¡±

    Zhao Yu wasforted after she heard the reassuring words from her ssmates.

    It was the ancient warrior ss turn next. There were a total of three sses so the evaluation was done on ten students simultaneously. Nevertheless, it still progressed much slower than before.

    Zhou Hao was at his usual best. He and Lu Meng had earned a lot during the zombie invasion. He used the credits to resupply chakra pills and strengthening potions to boost his training. As a result, Zhou Hao was now steadily reaching G6-tier.

    A few rubber dummies were deformed brutally by Zhou Hao¡¯s punch during the test.

    The first ce in the ancient warrior group belonged to Zhou Hao. His battle power¡ª3,190 points.

    After that, those from the gunner ss came forth to take the test.

    This group was actually more splendid to watch. The better gunner was usually the one who had spent more on their gears. The loaded ones brought out machine guns and sma bombs, while the poor could only carry cheap handguns. No matter how urate they were, nobody was bothered to pay thetter any attention.

    Qin Feng who was initially daydreaming was suddenly intrigued by something he saw. He took a better look and was utterly dumbstruck.

    ¡®Chen Ming! How could it be?¡¯

    Qin Feng focused on him and realized that Chen Ming was holding two guns in his hands. The metallic gray weapons were two gorgeous-looking sma guns.

    But what drew Qin Feng¡¯s attention was neither the guns nor his uracy. He was focused on Chen Ming¡¯s legs.

    Chen Ming was wearing long pants and the pair of legs hidden beneath them seemed absolutely normal.

    ¡°Zhou Hao, do you know what happened to Chen Ming? I thought that he missed the application date? How did he get into the university?¡±

    Zhou Hao replied to him through themunicator swiftly, ¡°Since we had parted ways after the day of awakening, I have not contacted him muchtely. From what I heard, he fawned over the son of the deputy mayor called Lin Kai and squeezed into the gunner ssst minute through that connection. The official statement is that he is to be thepanion of Lin Kai.¡±

    ¡®Companion? More like a subordinate or pawn!¡¯

    Qin Feng did not see thising.

    ¡°Thanks for the info.¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t trouble yourself with that guy. The one that abducted us during the reunion was probably set up by him. No matter how good our past rtionship was, we can¡¯t risk trusting a dishonest person like him anymore. You got me?¡±

    Zhou Hao knew that Qin Feng was always lenient toward Chen Ming. Though they had not been in touch after the awakening, Zhou Hao reckoned it was best to caution Qin Feng once more since he had brought up the subject.

    ¡°I know what to do.¡±

    After he hung up, his eyes were still fixated on Chen Ming, who was still pompously showing off his skills.

    Qin Feng focused on his legs and his frown deepened.

    After he cut off Chen Ming¡¯s legs, he had burned them to ashes right there and then. There was zero chance he could get those amputated legs reconnected. But no matter how Qin Feng looked at it, his legs were too natural to be prosthetic.

    No matter how advanced technology was now, a prosthetic leg would still not bend this naturally like what Chen Ming had just performed.

    What was more, it struck Qin Feng at odds that Chen Ming¡¯s legs were full of strength and he was even stronger than before.

    As a powerful consciousness user, there was no way Qin Feng would be mistaken in assessing Chen Ming, who was a few tiers behind him.

    So, what miracle happened to him in such a short time?

    Perhaps Qin Feng was looking too hard, or perhaps Chen Ming had long noticed Qin Feng. When Chen Ming went down the stage and nced through the student seats, his gaze locked straight onto Qin Feng¡¯s. A sense of resentment shed across his face and disappeared rapidly.

    Qin Feng stared at him as well. Possibly, this old friend of his had guessed who was the one that had broken off his legs.

    That changed nothing, though. They were, after all, already standing on opposite ends from the day Qin Feng had been resurrected.

    The gunner course had six sses in total. Two hours had passed when the whole exhibition event finally came to an end.

    The abilities ss students were growing impatient as they sat through the whole event.

    The gunners were ranked first by the weapon-grade, then only by techniques. Chen Ming sat at no. 10, which was not at all a bad cement.

    ¡°Qin Feng, let¡¯s discuss our party formation. Do you think you can recruit Zhao Yu from your ss into our team?¡± Zhou Hao asked.

    ¡°Let me ask her now!¡± Zhao Yu was sitting right in front of Qin Feng. ¡°ss rep, do you have a team yet?¡±

    Zhao Yu was obviously everyone¡¯s target in the abilities ss. In a party, there were two ability users allowed while no such restriction was ced on ancient warriors and gunners.

    Most of them were not familiar with Qin Feng so naturally everyone would like to team up with the friendlier Zhao Yu.

    Zhao Yu did not ept the others¡¯ invitations hastily because she was hoping to form an alliance with Qin Feng. Cheng Chao had also mentioned that it was best to group the strong students in one team. He promised to match them up during the party formation ceremonyter.

    Unexpectedly, Qin Feng asked Zhao Yu before Cheng Chao had even said anything.

    ¡°Not yet!¡± Zhao Yu shook her head.

    ¡°Then, join our team. What do you think?¡±

    ¡°Sure, Qin Feng! I should thank you for inviting me.¡± Zhao Yu epted quickly.

    Qin Feng grinned and asked for her student ID. ¡°Another confirmed member of the team right now is the top student of the ancient warrior ss. We still haven¡¯t decided on other members yet.¡±

    ¡°You are speaking of Zhou Hao?¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡±

    ¡°That would surely be a lot of pressure. Both of you are the best of the best!¡±

    Zhao Yu was always the top in her ss. That was only true before a monster named Qin Feng showed up. Although she was still ranked first this time, only Qin Feng and Zhou Hao were worthy to be called a genius in her opinion. She still had a lot of respect for Qin Feng even though he was cedst in the ss. That did not alter the fact that Qin Feng was the best warrior in their age group.

    ¡°Rx. Spring Hunting Ground is nothing too difficult.¡±

    Qin Feng called back to Zhou Hao to deliver the good news. ¡°It¡¯s settled.¡±

    ¡°Great! That means only two more slots left. I think we can ask one of my ssmates. He is an ancient warrior with a unique ability.¡±

    ¡°How unique?¡± Qin Feng questioned.

    ¡°His inner power could heal internal wounds. He said that he is the descendent of an ancient warrior family that excels in healing. By the way, he is also currently studying medicine part-time.¡±

    ¡°Sounds good.¡± Qin Feng answered.

    Inside the university, other than the three main courses, there were other subsidiary subjects that were more technical in nature. Anyone could pick up such crash courses without the need of being enrolled in the university.

    These crash courses included medicine, cooking, agriculture, etc. These were means to help the general people survive the harsh world outside.

    A course like culinary took only three months while ntation onlysted a year.

    The entire medicine course was rtively long but it was shorter if only the first aid ss was taken. Stuff like emergency treatment and stitching in the wild still required intensive learning and training.

    With such a dependable teammate around, Zhou Hao and Zhao Yu would receive better care if they were identally wounded during the mission.

 Chapter 131 - Lin Kaiâ€™s Threat

    <h4>Chapter 131: Lin Kai¡¯s Threat</h4>

    Better be safe than sorry. There were also chances that they might sh with students from other universities.

    While they were discussing the next candidate to invite, the ranking of the six gunner sses was finally released.

    ¡°Everyone, march to the field!¡±

    Under the teachers¡¯ lead, the students left their seats and walked toward the square. The students¡¯ sight jumped from one line to the other, apparently searching for their suitable teammates.

    ¡°You may team up now. Party with five members shoulde forth and register with the teachers.¡±

    The crowd immediately scattered about after Deng Nian gave the order. A lot of students swarmed around Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng hastily rified, ¡°I already have a team. We only need a gunner with scouting skills now.¡±

    This left those from the ancient warrior ss in great disappointment. Students from the abilities ss also looked at Qin Feng and Zhao Yu enviously.

    They understood that it was meant to be. It was only natural for the strong to group together to achieve the best possible result.

    Soon, Zhou Hao came and joined them along with the ssmate he had mentioned earlier.

    He was a gentle-looking teenager wearing a pair of gold-frame spectacles. His shirt was snowy-white while his pants were made of linen. He matched his clothing with a pair of white canvas shoes.

    Though it was amon outfit any sixteen year old teenager would have chosen, this guy was too clean to the point where Qin Feng thought that he might be a neat freak.

    ¡°Hi! My name is Zhang Tianche. I studied a type of neigong called Revitalization. It could be used to treat an internal wound and replenish lost internal force. Other than that, I have also picked up basic medicine and first aid.¡± The new guy introduced himself.

    ¡°My name is Qin Feng. Thisdy here is Zhao Yu. From now on, we will work as a team,¡± Qin Feng said.

    Zhang Tianche nodded. ¡°Both of you are widely well-known throughout the campus. It¡¯s nice to finally meet you two in person.¡±

    Qin Feng quietlybeled him as a calm and steady person. Though he did not know about his background, Qin Feng guessed that he must be from a prestigious n.

    Honestly, after he had time traveled ten years back, he could hardly get along with his ssmates.

    After all, Qin Feng was ten years older in age. The thinking and action of his peers at this age were too immature from his perspective.

    Qin Feng figured that Zhang Tianche might be different from the rest. He might have finally met someone that shared the same level of maturity as his.

    Zhao Yu was slightly embarrassed by their solemnness and giggled beside them. ¡°Stop acting so serious you two. We are going to be friends andrades in the future. Ease up. We still need to look for another teammate.¡±

    ¡°Yes. We better be quick. Or else, we might be left with little option.¡± Zhou Hao chipped in urgently as well.

    This was when an arrogant voice approached them. The crowd had consciously made way and opened up a path in the middle.

    A greasy-looking teenager walked over to them. He was wearing an expensive outfit and was escorted by several guys, who were obviously his followers.

    He did not even attempt to hide his pompous and egoistic behavior.

    ¡°So you are the famous Qin Feng?¡± The teenager measured Qin Feng with an equal sense of scorn and jealousy.

    ¡°And this is Zhou Hao? The first of the ancient warrior ss I heard? Not bad. Come join my team. But of course, I will be the team captain.¡±

    The bystanders were dumbfounded.

    If these words were toe out from someone else¡¯s mouth, naysayers would definitely step out and rebuke him or her.

    However, everyone knew who the bragger was after studying at this university for one month.

    He was none other than the infamous son of the deputy mayor.

    Lin Kai was his name. He held the highest status among the students of the 69th batch. This was all thanks to his father being an E-tier aptitude user. In other words, he had the backing from one of the top dogs of Chengbei colony and thus no one dared to go against him.

    Chen Ming was standing right by his side. He smirked while looking at Qin Feng. He obviously enjoyed watching how his master was making fun of Qin Feng publicly.

    Qin Feng stared at them and was undeterred.

    ¡®So my little friend over there has found himself a powerful backer. Perhaps I could find more clues about theboratory on them?¡¯

    Qin Feng sneered. No matter how desperate he was in wanting to fish out the next lead, Qin Feng was not going to bow down to them.

    On the contrary, Qin Feng was going to show them the consequences of provoking him once they were inside the Spring Hunting Ground.

    ¡°My team has four members now. I am afraid we are unable to amodate you and your gang,¡± Qin Feng replied.

    Lin Kai narrowed his eyes and scowled at them. He saw Zhang Tianche and Zhao Yu beside him. He obviously had heard of Zhao Yu so he turned to Zhang Tianche and bellowed, ¡°You, scram!¡±

    Zhang Tianche did not move. He remained calm as if Lin Kai was just an insignificant passerby. He maintained eye contact and smiled back politely despite thetter pointing at him furiously.

    Qin Feng scoffed coldly, ¡°Lin Kai, right? Are you deaf? Or are you just daft? Even if my team only has two members, trash like you will still not be weed. How dare you point your finger at myrade? You wish to lose a finger or two?¡±

    Lin Kai¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. The crowd was equally taken aback.

    Apparently, Lin Kai had never been humiliated by others this way since the day he was born. His face went red immediately and he burst out in anger.

    ¡°What did you just say?! I dare you to say it one more time.¡±

    ¡°So, you really are deaf.¡± Qin Feng curled his lips in disdain.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Lin Kai shouted furiously, ¡°Know your ce! Who do you think you are, acting so high and mighty? You are just lucky to appear in one of the promotional footages. One order from my father and you are nothing, you piece of sh*t.¡±

    Lin Kai did not believe one bit of the propaganda showed. To him, those were just tools used by politicians inside the colony to exert their influence.

    Such examples were aplenty. Lin Kai had seen it himself numerous times. Whenever his father wanted to promote someone he favored, he would publicize and exaggerate the contribution made. The person only needed to be slightly packaged and he or she would be given a better position in the government. Even Lin Kai already had a bright futureid down for him by his father.

    Qin Feng awakened at the same age as him. How was it possible that he could be that strong?

    Those were just sweet lies to please the people.

    The people around them were swayed by Lin Kai¡¯s words.

    ¡°What? So those videos are just for show?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s only logical that way. How is it possible that Qin Feng could be so powerful in such a short time?¡±

    ¡°I thought that Qin Feng has been given the mayoral position at Fengli colony? If so, then why does he need toe back to school? The more I think of it, the more unreal it gets.¡±

    Suddenly, the majority of the crowd began to doubt Qin Feng.

    Lin Kai was utterly pleased. He looked at Qin Feng conceitedly and thought that Qin Feng would be terrified and beg him not to do it.

    Unfortunately, Qin Feng disappointed him.

    ¡°Go ahead.¡± Qin Feng was afraid of nothing. ¡°Call the deputy mayor and bring down the propaganda this very moment. Better still, summon the patrol unit and seize me. We shall see who would be mutted more then.¡±

 Chapter 132 - Four-Person Team

    <h4>Chapter 132: Four-Person Team</h4>

    ¡°Qin Feng, I am not joking when I say I am going to bring you down!¡± Lin Kai was fuming with rage.

    Qin Feng couldn¡¯t care less and nced back coldly.

    ¡®We¡¯ll see!¡¯

    Perhaps the mor was too much as the teacher had decided to intervene.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why would a simple task of finding your teammates lead to such ruckus??¡± Cheng Chao frowned when he saw the two bands of people that were involved in the row. ¡®This is problematic.¡¯

    Just as he was looking for a solution, the crowd eximed in shock yet another time.

    ¡°Headmaster!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the headmaster!¡±

    Deng Nian hade down from the grandstand!

    Though Lin Kai was boastful, he was not that stupid to stand up against someone as powerful as his father. Neither did he want to stay and be lectured. He scowled at Qin Feng onest time before he left.

    ¡°Mark my words. If anyone from the gunner ss dares to join your team, I¡¯ll abandon my surname!¡± Lin Kai left after leaving those harsh words behind.

    His subordinates followed him with their heads held low. They never expected their boss to be intimidated. It was always the other way round.

    Chen Ming was exasperated too. Not only did Lin Kai fail to tame Qin Feng, he was even more aloof than before.

    ¡°Qin Feng, as a brother that came out from the same orphanage, I have to warn you that Lin Kai is not someone you wish to upset. You would definitely regret today¡¯s event.¡±

    ¡°Brother? Do you really mean it?¡± Qin Feng snorted.

    Zhou Hao furrowed his eyebrows hearing Chen Ming¡¯s words. ¡°Qin Feng, there¡¯s no need to reason with this type of people. I bet he has asked his master to humiliate you this time but too bad, it backfired terribly!¡±

    Chen Ming¡¯s face reddened in an instant. Zhou Hao had probably guessed it right.

    ¡°Zhou Hao, stop being so full of yourself. You will know the consequences of mocking us soon.¡± Chen Ming diverted his anger toward Zhou Hao.

    ¡°Make it quick. I don¡¯t have much patience.¡±

    As the fight was about to escte, Deng Nian finally reached them.

    ¡°Why are you people gathering around here? Have you all found your teammates? Move!¡±

    The crowd dispersed rapidly thanks to Deng Nian¡¯s intrusion.

    Deng Nian nodded warmly at Qin Feng and left without saying anything. This was not the right ce to hold a conversation.

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator vibrated right after that. He nced at it and realized it was a message sent by his headmaster. He was asked to be present at the headmaster¡¯s office after he had finalized the team. That did not surprise Qin Feng.

    When he raised his head, he found that Zhou Hao and Zhao Yu were troubled by something. They were frowning out of obvious anger. Zhang Tianche, on the other hand, maintained his usual tranquility.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Zhou Hao told him angrily, ¡°That bastard really went ahead and threatened the students from gunner sses to not join our team!¡±

    ¡°How could he do that!¡± Zhao Yu felt angry and helpless at the same time.

    ¡°Let me try.¡± Qin Feng unlocked hismunicator. After the ranking was released, students could directly contact others on the list. There was also a filter option, where one could bar students below a certain rank from contacting them.

    Qin Feng had blocked everyone previously. He called up the setting and switched it back on. But most participants knew that Qin Feng¡¯s team onlycked a gunner now.

    Not a single gunner attempted to contact him.

    Qin Feng was unperturbed and proceeded to send an inquiry to several gunners that ranked in the top ten.

    He was asking politely whether they had formed a team.

    Some outright ignored him while others replied after a while, iming that they had already found their respective teams.

    Was that so?

    Of course not. The reason was because one¡¯s name would be taken off the list immediately after they had registered their teams.

    After ten minutes, not a single gunner had responded to his invitation.

    The majority of the students had registered by now.

    ¡°No point in waiting further. Let¡¯s go.¡± Qin Feng finally gave up.

    Zhao Yu was clearly worried as she said, ¡°We will be vulnerable without a gunner. A sniper could easily take us all out.¡±

    Gunners were the trump card in a long-range skirmish. No matter how powerful you were, you would not be able to defeat an enemy beyond your reach.

    ¡°Have you forgotten that I am a gunner myself?¡± Qin Feng asked reciprocally.

    Zhao Yu was enlightened as she came to the realization. ¡®That¡¯s right, Qin Feng was the one that had outssed our firearms teacher before!¡¯

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Qin Feng is extremely good with firearms too. We could gain more points this way. We should really get going.¡± Zhou Hao had grown sick of waiting in the square. He especially couldn¡¯t stand it when students around began to look at them sympathetically. Some must be still thinking that Qin Feng was a fraud and was merely an actor used by the government in their propaganda.

    ¡®Bunch of idiots.¡¯ Zhou Hao did not bother to exin to them. The truth would be out of the bag eventually. These people would know how stupid they were by then.

    The four of them reported to Cheng Chao. Thetter was slightly surprised but he believed in Qin Feng.

    ¡°All the best. Our honor depends on you.¡± Cheng Chao tapped on Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder.

    ¡°I will do what I can.¡± Qin Feng answered humbly.

    After the registration, some teams set off to continue training while some opted to take a rest. The one-month intensive training before this had taken a huge toll on everyone. They had to assemble back here by 8 am the next day and depart to Spring Hunting Ground by mobile.

    ¡°Should we undergo some special training?¡±

    Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°Let¡¯s have a good rest. I still have something to attend to before we depart.¡±

    ¡°Alright, see you all tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°See you tomorrow.¡±

    They went their separate ways after saying their goodbyes. Qin Feng headed directly to the headmaster¡¯s office.

    Inside, Qin Feng sat down on a couch and shared a pot of tea with Deng Nian.

    ¡°I was told that you have brought back some refugees from Han Town recently. You even ughtered an F-tier broodmother by yourself?¡± Deng Nian asked.

    These things would not go unnoticed. Though Han Town was far from Chengbei,munication through thework still existed between the two clusters.

    After it was invaded, Han Town had been demanding for more aptitude users to go over and help with the rebuild. Naturally, Qin Feng¡¯s heroic performances were leaked out in the process.

    ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Qin Feng admitted.

    Deng Nianmented, ¡°That¡¯s remarkable. You are going to outdo me soon.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s an exaggeration. My achievement is nothingpared to yours.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be humble. I am only speaking the truth. I am d you are willing to join this mission. I have high hopes for you. Please be other students¡¯ example and lead them. We are often the subsidiary in an event like this.¡±

    Deng Nian was straight to the point. Chengyang University in the federal city was always the leading institution among the five main universities. They had three times the number of students aspared to other institutions. As a result, they also produced more elites throughout the years.

    Who would have thought that a generational talent like Qin Feng would be awakened in Chengbei this year?

 Chapter 133 - Chengyang City

    <h4>Chapter 133: Chengyang City</h4>

    ¡°What is your n after the Spring Hunting Ground? Any ns to remain in the university?¡± Deng Nian asked.

    Qin Feng replied without any hesitation, ¡°Of course, there is still a lot for me to learn!¡±

    However, he would still be ying truant to take care of personal matters.

    Deng Nian did not care about those as he was already delighted to have such a reply from Qin Feng.

    ¡°If that is the case, I shall not continue to retain you as a student then! Didn¡¯t Han Jian give you the title of an Honorary Captain? I shall award you with the title of an Honorary Teacher then!¡±

    Deng Nian giggled and raised his hand, then, a box appeared on top of the table.

    ¡°This is a token of appreciation of an Honorary Teacher, and also my support for your journey into the Spring Hunting Ground!¡±

    A token of appreciation?

    Qin Feng opened the box and found a glove inside.

    It was a red andrge glove, and with its luxurious finishing, it could almost cover up to the forearm. There were also sharp nails that covered the fingertips.

    It was more like a w rather than a glove.

    There was a red cobblestone-size ability core embedded at the back of the hand, while there were stripes that connected it to every part of the glove.

    The extremely sturdy inner part was revealed as the glove was flipped over, and it could even withstand forces from iing bullets and weaponry.

    ¡°Ability rune equipment.¡± Qin Feng was surprised with the ability rune equipment that was glowing in purple light, and all of a sudden, abel on the equipment caught his attention: Scarlet Fire w F5!¡±

    It was a rune equipment made from the fire core of an F5-tier beast general.

    Due to the scarcity of ability cores, the price of ability rune equipment would be higher than rune equipment of the ancient warriors.

    However, Deng Nian had now gifted one to Qin Feng.

    Furthermore, it was obvious that the glove was meant for a left handed person.

    Deng Nian had witnessed Qin Feng¡¯s battle where he would handle the Verdant Emperor Saber with his right arm.

    ¡°Principal, I shall receive this thoughtful gift from you!¡± Qin Feng said.

    It seemed that Deng Nian had immediately ordered for the glove to be made upon his return as it would usually take half a month to make an ability rune equipment.

    Qin Feng felt honoured and respected by such a thoughtful act from Deng Nian.

    ¡°Haha, don¡¯t worry about it, from now onward, you are one of us!¡±

    Deng Nian guffawed cheerily when he saw that Qin Feng had epted the gift.

    ***

    The next day, bustling noise and excitement filled the university as many parents were at the campus.

    The Spring Hunting Ground was the students¡¯ first journey to risk their lives by going into the wilderness. All the other aptitude users had already been exposed to the dangers of the wilderness earlier on, now, their time hade!

    ¡°Feng, please be careful!¡± Zhou Hao¡¯s father urged.

    ¡°Uncle, don¡¯t worry, we will be fine!¡±

    After the seats had been allocated, there were more than ten vehicles on the move toward the South Gate.

    The students were excited for their first journey into the wilderness and chattered incessantly among themselves.

    However, all of them remained silent as soon as they arrived in the wilderness.

    The skies had be clear and boundless as there were no more high rise buildings around the area.

    Zhao Yu looked toward the sky and eximed, ¡°All of a sudden, it feels good to be free!¡±

    Indeed, the colony was like a cage!

    The boundless freedom could only be felt in the outside world!

    However, sacrifices of fresh blood had to be given to obtain such freedom.

    Soon, all of them would realize the price to be paid for such freedom when they venture into the horrifying wilderness.

    Bam bam bam bam!

    The gunshots had alerted the students as they opened their eyes wide and immediately looked around the surroundings.

    ¡°There is something in the front that has blocked the road!¡±

    Qin Feng and the others were in a vehicle that was behind others, and they were unaware of what had happened ahead of them. However, many of them extended their head out from the vehicle to look outside, they noticed that there was a wild boar that was rushing toward them; its head wasrge and its eyes were red as it bared its fangs.

    ¡°It is a wild boar!¡±

    Although the wild boar was merely a G6-tier ultra beast, its massive and bulky body structure highly increased its attack power, and it was also covered with thick flesh that could easily handle ordinary bullets.

    The wild boar moved at high speed and rushed toward the side of the second vehicle, one of the students that had half of his body extended out from the vehicle immediately moved back into the vehicle. However, the wild boar acted fast with its fangs.

    Swoosh!

    The fangs of the wild boar swiped across the shoulder of the student, resulting in a whole chunk of his flesh being ripped off with blood sttering everywhere. If there were no guardrails around the bus, the chest of the student would have been pierced through from the attack.

    ¡°Argh!!!¡± The screams from the student could even be heard clearly from a few vehicles away.

    Everyone that was there instantly felt fear mounting in them.

    It was because of everything that had just happened, the malicious wild boar, the sttered blood, and also the piercing cry from the unfortunate student.

    It was fortunate that the number of the wild boars was not that big and the situation was taken care of by the F-tier teachers that were around!

    However, the students were stifled by the intense atmosphere.

    Some of the female students were even trembling in fear.

    ¡°It will be fine!¡± Zhang Tianche who was silent said calmly, ¡°Have faith in the leader. Furthermore, the three of us are ancient warriors, you will not be required to have closebat with the ultra beasts!¡±

    Zhao Yu who was pale recovered slightly with his words.

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    ¡°Believe in yourpanions, and believe in your own team members!¡± Qin Feng spoke up. ¡°The wilderness has never been a ce to have solobats.¡±

    It was for that same reason that the university put the students in groups.

    The journey went smoothly after the short interruption. Shortly after, the city walls of Chengyang City appeared in everyone¡¯s eyes.

    When seen from afar, the city wall was thirty meters in height, and there were pale light rays that were extending from the top of the wall, the light rays had formed into a palework.

    There was a space stabilizing device ced at the centre of thework, it was simr to the Six re Star as radiations were being released in silver light rays.

    ¡°City-tier space stabilizing device!¡±

    ¡°Energywork, oh god, what would the daily energy consumption be like to support such a size of energywork!¡±

    ¡°Look, it is a tier 3 energy cannon! Every shot from it would be equivalent to the maximum destructive force from an E-tier aptitude user, and there are so many of them!¡±

    Everyone was amazed by the scene.

    The city wall of the Chengyang City was not much higher than Chengbei colony¡¯s, it was because excessive heights would restrict the ability of the ability users!

    However, the wall definitely had sufficient thickness.

    As soon as they got closer, they noticed that they had gone through a tunnel and arrived at the inner parts of Chengyang City.

    The surroundings were more spacious and the streets were clean and well maintained, while there were luxurious buildings and greeneries that spread across the area.

    It truly depicted the morous life of a big city.

    Besides, aptitude users were seen everywhere, and there was also the presence of E-tiers. The pinnacle of life seen in Chengbei colony could be seen everywhere in this city.

    F-tier aptitude users were a norm here, and G-tiers were also seen everywhere!

    This had amazed all of the students that were in the vehicles.

    It was as if everyone had just seen a whole new world.

    Among all of them, with teachers being excluded, Qin Feng was definitely the only one that remained calm and unbothered!

 Chapter 134 - Assembly of Five Major Universities

    <h4>Chapter 134: Assembly of Five Major Universities</h4>

    Before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, he had even witnessed cities that wererger than Chengyang City.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng felt something swiping at his shoulder.

    It was Bai Li.

    Bai Li had woken up and was staring at the various merchandise along the streets with her little fox eyes that shone like ck ss, attracted to everything along the streets!

    Chengyang City was assuredly better than Chengbei colony!

    ¡°Alright, alright, alright, I¡¯ll bring you here for these as soon as thepetition is over!¡±

    Qin Feng brushed Bai Li¡¯s fur while he assured her using conscious energy.

    Bai Li felt satisfied and nodded.

    The vehicles soon arrived at the inner parts of Chengyang city where the military base was located. It was like a fort, densely enforced with metal and steel, and the giant square was already heavily crowded.

    Students from the other colonies had already arrived.

    Students from the Xita colony were in dark-green uniform.

    Students from the Dongling University were in sky-blue uniform.

    Students from the Hunnan University where in orange uniform.

    Those that were from Chengbei colony were in dark-red uniform. Soon after, students from Chengyang University that was the nearest were thest to arrive!

    The crowd watched as luxurious vehicles drove into the military base.

    They had a sleek body shape that seemed to be fully made from metal, while the front part was inclined and connected with a rounded ss. This feature highlighted a special function when travelling at high speed where the images from the surroundings would be slowed down to prevent dizziness.

    Furthermore, it was obvious to the crowd that all of the vehicles that were driving in were hover cars.

    Rich and imposing!

    Chengyang University had already disyed their strength to the others from their grand entrance.

    All four of the other districts were in difort whenparing themselves to Chengyang!

    Not long after that, students from Chengyang University got off from their vehicles. They were wearing snow-white uniformsbined with golden cors and cuffs. Under the rays of the sun, their uniforms were even emitting a pale-white htion.

    ¡°Those uniforms are made from top tier materials frombat fatigues!¡±

    ¡°Chengyang University is too wealthy!¡±

    ¡°This is why they are not afraid to use white color materials!¡±

    The freely distributed uniforms from Chengyang University werebat fatigues that were designed to repel raindrops, sweat, as well as cold and hot temperature. As it came with an expensive price, it could even repel fine dust, or else they would not have chosen white.

    Students from the other universities that wore different colored uniforms seemed to belong to an inferior army.

    Students from Chengyang University got off with full confidence and looked at the others in disdain.

    ¡°Purplish-red color from Chengbei University looks gay!¡±

    ¡°Blue color from Dongling University makes them look like they are waiters!¡±

    ¡°Those that are from Xita look the same as the army from the military.¡±

    ¡°Yellowish-orange color? Isn¡¯t that too old fashioned?¡±

    Just like that, all four districts were criticised.

    All of the other universities were infuriated by the criticisms and nned to teach them a lesson as soon as they cross pathster!

    Students from Chengyang University were not bothered by such threats they deemed unworthy of their attention.

    After all, they outnumbered the others.

    Did they think that it was four against one?

    Definitely not.

    ¡°Assemble, fall in!¡±

    The teachers gave their instructions while students got into their formations. As soon as the students were lined up ordingly, every university from the east, west, south, and north could see therge number of students from Chengyang University.

    There were two thousand of them.

    Chengyang University had outnumbered the others by six hundred students even with all four other universitiesbined!

    ¡°Next, I will be announcing the rules!¡±

    An elder took the lead with a deep and thick voice.

    Qin Feng was able to sense that the elder was an E9-tier ancient warrior and was getting close to D-tier.

    ¡°Rifts in the Spring Hunting Ground are stable and safe, and you may gather any loot and treasures that are filled with spirit aura, and those that you are able to gather would be yours!¡±

    The crowd was delighted by the news and their eyes were wide opened in excitement.

    ¡°Of course, there will be ultra beasts that have strong capabilities, and I do not need you to defeat them. The most important thing to do is to avoid them and survive!¡±

    The students instantly became gloomy, while the faces of the students from Chengbei University were pale as they were still terrified by their wild boar encounter.

    Any ultra beast would be harmful by nature and they would threaten the lives of those that had yet to obtain G-tier.

    ¡°However, your capabilities have definitely increased from past training, and so, there will be a challenge for everyone, and it is known as the Spring Hunting Ground Survival Challenge!¡±

    ¡°Every student will have to remain in the hunting ground for three days and strip off name tags from the others, every name tag obtained will be recorded as one point, while those that had their name tags stripped off will be automatically disqualified by the space expulsion of the Spring Hunting Ground!¡±

    ¡°Now, distribute the name tags, remove yourmunicators, seal off the space rune equipment!¡±

    The teachers carried out the task as soon as the instructions were given.

    ¡°Qin Feng, this is your name tag, remember, pay extra attention to those from Chengyang University!¡± Cheng Chao said.

    ¡°Teacher, don¡¯t worry!¡± Qin Feng nodded and took his name tag.

    It was about the size of a palm and had a purple base that was encircled with a golden ring, and it wasbelled with the number 21.

    Zhao Yu had a simr one that wasbelled number 1.

    Zhou Hao and Zhang Tianche received their purple-color-base name tag that was encircled with a silver ring.

    When looked carefully, there were also others that had ck rings that indicated gunners.

    Every university was differentiated by the color of the name tags, while the ring would differentiate aptitude users, and numbers would represent rankings.

    Furthermore, the name tag was also a spatial passage device in itself, and this essential tool for the Spring Hunting Ground was rarely avable.

    ¡°Communication would be impossible without themunicator, hence, it would also be difficult to detect if anyone were to cheat!¡± Zhao Yu felt anxious about the restrictions.

    Zhou Hao was also puzzled with the situation.

    ¡°Without themunicator, how would the performance be recorded? Would it just be as simple as stripping off name tags from the others? If that were the case, can we also strip off name tags from students that are from our university?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the wilderness, would it still be fair for everyone?¡± Qin Feng looked at them and replied calmly, ¡°The teachers have already sealed off the rune space of the gunners to restrict usage of certain giant-sized firearms, or else, all of you would be in a much more dire situation!¡±

    Zhou Hao recalled the moment when Qin Feng battled against the gunner andunched three bombs that covered the entire top part of a hill; if these students were there, they would definitely not be able to make it out alive.

    ¡°Alright, students, there is no need to discuss the rules, all you need to do is to adapt to it.¡± Cheng Chao told everyone with an unpleasant expression.

    It was unknown how many among these students would not survive through this annual event.

    During such a post-apocalyptic time that was filled with uncertainties ahead, the younger generations would have to adapt and grow at a faster rate.

    Or else, how would they rise up stronger and protect the colonies?

    ¡°Every single one of your backpacks have a bottle of water, apressed biscuit, a protective helmet and vest, and also a wirelessmunicator. If you were to face any dangerous situation that is beyond your ability to handle, you can just take off your name tag and you will be automatically excluded from this challenge.¡±

 Chapter 135 - Entering the Spring Hunting Ground

    <h4>Chapter 135: Entering the Spring Hunting Ground</h4>

    ¡°Gear up, and enter the Spring Hunting Ground!¡±

    Everyone lifted their ck tactical backpacks and suited up with their protective helmet and vest while the wirelessmunicator was ced in their ears.

    ¡°Zhao Yu, bring this along!¡± Suddenly, Qin Feng took out a box and passed it over to Zhao Yu.

    Inside the box was the F5-tier Fire Scarlet w that was given by Deng Nian the day before.

    ¡°Ah! This is an ability rune equipment!¡± Zhao Yu was shocked.

    Qin Feng nodded.

    Zhao Yu sensed the dominating aura overflowing from the rune equipment and had mixed feelings about it. ¡°It is an F5-tier equipment, and I am not even a G-tier now, it would already be considered decent if I were able to utilize one tenth of its power!¡±

    ¡°Its main attribute is defensive energy!¡± Qin Feng turned the Scarlet Fire w around and showed Zhao Yu the inner steel part that could protect her from bullets or attacks during closebat.

    Zhao Yu paused for a short moment and nodded, then she put on the w.

    Fire runes exploded from the purple rune equipment and formed into a glowing me.

    Everyone around the area had also started to put on their own equipment!

    With restriction on spatial rune equipment, some of the top tier wealthy gunners were revealing a ridiculous disy of firearms. Even ordinary gunner students had also taken out countless sniper guns, riffles, hand grenades, bullets, and more.

    Some even required help from ancient warriors in their teams to carry the firearms.

    Of course, in the early stages, sufficient firearms would easily secure victory from such battles.

    ¡°Vo!¡±

    Zhou Hao took out a cape and put it around him.

    ¡°Do I look handsome in this?¡± Zhou Hao took out a dagger and ced it on his waist.

    Silver light rays that were emitting from the two rune equipment were eye-catching among rune equipment that were releasing blue and purple light rays.

    ¡°This cape is... so powerful!¡± Zhao Yu eximed.

    After all, it was made from materials from a beast king.

    ¡°Haha, this is a sponsor by a psycho friend of mine!¡± Zhou Hao giggled and replied.

    Of course, Zhou Hao still had his inner armor as he did not equip those that were distributed by the university.

    On the other hand, there were silver light rays that exploded from a few massive rounded disc bases.

    The light rays crossed paths and formed into awork of giant passage that was about twenty meters in width and three meters in height.

    ¡°Xita colony is the first to enter!¡±

    The sequence of entry had already been decided by a draw. However, due to the overwhelming number of students, Chengyang University would be separated into two batches and was always ced to enterst.

    Students from Xita University took the lead and stepped into the giant passage.

    ¡°Chengyang University is well aware of their responsibility as the host and has allowed us to be the first to enter!¡±

    ¡°It must be the arrangement from our principal to allow us to be the first to enter, we can definitely gather more useful items!¡±

    ¡°I wonder if anyone will get Conscious Fruit this year!¡±

    The chatter continued on as all students from the Xita University hadpleted their entrance!

    A teacher continued to alter the space coordinates and released another batch of students for entry.

    It was obvious that the location for every university would be different from each other.

    ¡°Set off!¡± Chengbei University was the third batch to enter, Qin Feng followed the footsteps of the other team members and moved forward.

    After all four universities had entered, it was Chengyang University¡¯s turn!

    ¡°All prey have been released, time for the hunters to set off!¡±

    The young guys and girls that were in white and golden colored uniform sneered as they made their move.

    This would definitely be a lopsided ughter!

    After Qin Feng and the others had gone into the spatial passage, they immediately arrived at a wide turf.

    Even without any careful trimming, the green turf looked smooth and disyed early signs of spring, and also the warmth that came along.

    The surroundings were overflowing with greeneries that contradicted thete autumn scenery from the outside. There was a dense forest at a far off distance while a crystal clear stream was flowing down from the left.

    ¡°This is magnificent!¡± Zhao Yu said joyfully.

    Compared to the wilderness that was seen when leaving the countryside of Chengbei colony, this ce would undoubtedly be ssified as a garden.

    ¡°Stop focusing on the scenery, let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng remarked as he looked at everyone.

    Students from Chengbei University were all around them. Now that they had entered the area, all of them would surely not act rashly.

    Or else, they might risk leaving without any reward, and would that not be a loss? They might also give themselves a bad title of harming each other.

    With that in mind, the crowd immediately spread across the area.

    Qin Feng led the three others and slipped into the forest.

    Thendscape in the Spring Hunting Ground was beautiful, it was like they were on a field trip without any sense of danger from the surroundings!

    However, danger would always appear out of nowhere.

    Bam!

    Qin Feng took out his energy ster and fired a shot toward the front.

    Before the others could react to it, it was as if Qin Feng had sted onto some vines.

    Zhao Yu was still puzzled and wondered what Qin Feng was aiming for.

    It was only when they got closer to the vines that had fallen onto the ground that they were shocked as they noticed that it was a snake.

    ¡°Jade snake!¡± Zhao Yu was shocked and inhaled deeply.

    It was a low-level viper that could paralyse their nerves with just one bite, and it could even cause death if the victim did not have strong conscious energy.

    Qin Feng was able to notice it from a far off distance earlier on.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are amazing, I thought that you were aiming for some vines, it seems that Lin Kai was not telling the truth yesterday!¡± Zhao Yu said.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s lips twitched when he heard what Zhao Yu said.

    ¡°Zhao Yu, do you really think that Lin Kai was telling the truth? It was not only Qin Feng that had gone to the frontlines! We have already earned ourselves hundreds of thousands from our past solid battles!¡±

    Zhou Hao¡¯s ancient warrior ability had indeed increased at a fast pace, and he had benefited a lot as he obtained most of his energy supplies from the battle at Zimu Mountains; or else, without any financial support from his family, how could he afford such an amount of resources?

    Zhao Yu felt embarrassed.

    ¡°There are people approaching!¡± Zhang Tianche broke the silence and alerted everyone.

    ¡°Could it be students from other universities that have entered earlier?¡± We should leave now!¡± Zhao Yu said.

    Qin Feng felt the presence of those that were approaching and his expression immediately became solemn, his eyes shed with a trace of murderous intent.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng took the lead and went deeper into the forest. What the others did not notice was that while doing so he left small-sized bombs around the area where they were at.

    Half a minuteter, more than thirty people had arrived at the spot. They were being led by Lin Kai.

    ¡°Is this the correct direction? Why haven¡¯t we found him yet!¡±

    Lin Kai indignantly barked while anger could be clearly seen from his expression.

    ¡°This should be the right location!¡± Chen Ming replied as he took two more steps forward.

    It was at that moment, a red light shed from the ground.

    Tick tick tick!

    Immediately after three consecutive shes from the triggers, a loud explosion was heard!

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    The massive shockwave from the explosion impacted Chen Ming and two others that were beside him. They were thrown into the air from the impact.

    Chen Ming was the first to react, and he rolled backward. It was as if his legs were filled with a massive jumping force, and it was fortunate that he was able to remain unharmed by the explosion.

    Lin Kai was extremely shocked.

    ¡°Damn, luckily it didn¡¯t get me!¡±

    Chen Ming was obviously infuriated.

 Chapter 136 - Ambush

    Chapter 136: Ambush

    However, Chen Ming was quick to regainposure, hopping back up to his feet and running toward Lin Kai saying, ¡°Young Master Lin, I¡¯ve got a feeling that Qin Feng went down this road, but now he¡¯s burying bombs in the ground to affect our speed and cause some damage to us. I¡¯ve got a n. We destroy the weaker teams first, we¡¯ve got the number and the firepower. After collecting enough points we¡¯ll go face off against Qin Feng, this will reduce our energy consumption!¡±

    Chen Ming¡¯s words were very reasonable. He had yet to face Qin Feng and he had already lost two of hisbat powers, facing off against Qin Feng would result in a bigger loss and by then Lin Kai would not even have the guts to keep up with him.

    ¡°Fine. Let¡¯s go rob the others first, this time I will definitely be in the top ten!¡± Lin Kai was not a reckless man even though he did what he wanted. This time he chose to listen to Chen Ming¡¯s words.

    The top ten could directly obtain a G-tier aptitude certification.

    Getting to the top ten was much easier than killing two hundred G-tier beasts![1]

    The most important thing was that Lin Kai was actually a little bit afraid.

    ***

    Qin Feng¡¯s ears perked hearing that explosion just now. It must have been set off by someone touching the mines he ced!

    Qin Feng let out a frostyugh, it seemed that Lin Kai had not given up yet! If Lin Kai were to show up again, Qin Feng was definitely not letting him go!

    ¡°Go!¡± Qin Feng patted Bai Li¡¯s forehead. Bai Li swooped off Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder and rushed into the undergrowth. In such ces, it was difficult for Qin Feng and the rest to maneuver around, but for Bai Li it was like a fish in the sea.

    Zhou Hao was surprised. ¡°Bai... Uh, why did Xiao Bai leave?¡±

    ¡°To go get the good stuff!¡± Qin Feng gave a sly smirk. Qin Feng was right, the five major universities would not allow students to bring in spatial rune equipment out of the fear that the students might resort to rampant looting and emptying out the Spring Hunting Grounds.

    Bai Li¡¯s space however, could not be detected by the people who were invigting.

    The good things would of course be directly taken away by Bai Li. Otherwise, why would Qin Feng havee this time? To face off against the students from the other universities?

    The Spring Hunting Garden was a huge forest but everyone entered from a single point so very quickly Qin Feng¡¯s group met their first group of people.

    Boom!

    The sound of a sniper rifle bullet leaving its muzzle rang out in a deep and resonating noise. Qin Feng had always been in the forefront, that bullet seemed to shriek as it soared toward his chest.

    The shot was on point, even if he was wearing a protective vest, Qin Feng would still have been injured.

    Only that the strangest thing happened, the bullet stopped a meter in front of Qin Feng¡¯s chest. Qin Feng flicked his hand, sending the bullet flying elsewhere about four to five meters away.

    Boom!

    A st came ringing in the distance. It turned out that the bullet Qin Feng deflected impacted andmine.

    ¡°Damn!¡± Zhou Hou let out a string of curse words, getting ready forbat.

    Bang bang bang!

    A series of bullets poured out. This time it seemed to be a dense volley.

    ¡°Take cover!¡± Qin Feng roared. Zhou Hou and the other two slipped behind a big tree. Only Qin Feng did not stop moving.

    The bullets soared past him, none of them actually finding their mark on Qin Feng.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng swung his leg at a tree, and with one kick therge tree was cut off by the trunk.

    Kssh-krunch!

    Therge tree toppled over, and the people on it naturally came down with it. Such a scene caused the other party to scream out loud.

    Qin Feng did not hesitate.

    Click!

    He put a foot down on his opponent¡¯s rifle. What was a gunner without their guns?

    Qin Feng¡¯s move was the equivalent of cutting off the other one¡¯s hand. Not holding back, he suddenly changed his direction.

    ¡°No way! That¡¯s too fast! I can¡¯t even lock on!¡± The ambushing gunner started to have cold beads of sweat rolling down his brow. The scene where Qin Feng kicked down the tree just now was terrifying!

    Boom!

    The gunner suddenly felt a great forceing in his direction and was shaken out of the tree!

    ¡°Ahh!¡± With a yell, he immediately face-nted on the ground[2].

    ¡°When...¡± He did not even get to finish his sentence before Qin Feng appeared. Qin Feng jumped off the tree andnded nearby, just as he was about to get rid of the gunner, a wind sh more than a meter long came whizzing by.

    Qin Feng frowned and instinctively jumped away.

    Snap!

    The sh hit a tree, immediately cutting up a gash that was up to five centimeters in depth but was more than a meter long. If it were to hit someone, that would have cut their heads clean off.

    Qin Feng looked at the other party with rapt attention.

    The person was wearing a dark-green school uniform, a nametag framed with gold was pinned to his chest. On it was number 3.

    No wonder they dared to attack Qin Feng, it turned out to be Xita University¡¯s ability course¡¯s number three.

    ¡°Ability ss number 21? Only knows ancient martial arts. You must be the lowest rank!¡± The boy eximed.

    ¡°Zhang Hou! Slice off one of his legs, how dare he step on my gun!¡± The gunner who got his gun snapped in half by Qin Feng¡¯s kick called out, his face was ashen and full of rage.

    Under the person¡¯s uniform was a sturdy piece of armor, and the gunner was a local tyrant, probably the child of one of the powerful families within the Xita district. Zhang Hou¡¯s eyes shed with a re of disgust. He was strong but born into a poor family. This time he joined the other party because he was told that if the team ranked top ten, he would receive one million.

    Right now he was being directed to do something and that displeased him greatly.

    ¡°Go help the others. Leave this one to me. Just now that team had a number one in the ability ss but it¡¯s a damn shame they¡¯ve brought a piece of sh*t!¡± Zhang Hou called out.

    At this time, there were four people attacking Qin Feng with ten others who had split off to go attack the other three. Zhang Hou naturally felt that Qin Feng was not afraid, and letting the others leave was also his method of making sure they did not get in the way.

    This ambush was not set up with one team against another. It was three teams against one.

    ¡°I kinda feel sorry for you. Who would have known you all would meet me!¡± Qin Feng let out a frosty chuckle.

    A look of disdain shed across Zhang Hou¡¯s eyes and he chuckled, thinking that Qin Feng was all talk. ¡°You talk big, but let¡¯s see if you can handle this!¡±

    Zhang Hou urged his consciousness. His power was indeed very strong, not as good as the first or second, but close enough. Everyone had their faith in Zhang Hou.

    ¡°Wind Shear Vortex!¡±

    In Zhang Hou¡¯s hands, a spiraling sphere manifested. When he pushed his hands out, the huge spiral transformed into gale force winds and rushed toward Qin Feng at a very fast speed.

    At this time, Qin Feng raised his hands, palms facing the wind.

    Everyone who was watching Qin Feng¡¯s movements had one thought floating through their heads.

    ¡°He¡¯s crazy!¡±

    Would Wind Shear Vortex be that easy to handle? Qin Feng¡¯s hands were going to be ruined.

    [1] That exins why some G-rank aptitude users are ipetent. No field experience.

    [2] The Chinese metaphor used also means ¡®eating sh*t¡¯, which basically means suffering a nasty fall.

 Chapter 137 - Dragging People Under

    <h4>Chapter 137: Dragging People Under</h4>

    However, as quickly as the thought sprang into these people¡¯s minds, the wind spiraled into Qin Feng¡¯s palm and a red light burst from his hand.

    Boom!

    A huge gush of me rushed forth and the whirlwind copsed instantaneously. Not to mention the turbulent winds that raised the mes high up as the huge wall of fire rolled toward Zhang Hou. In the next instant, an ashened figure could be seen being sent up to ten meters away before disappearing into the tall grass.

    Qin Feng gently withdrew his hand, the several other Xita University students were stunned.

    ¡°You can either give me your number tag yourself and just walk away, otherwise, don¡¯t me me for being merciless!¡±

    The remaining three looked at one another and one of them shouted, ¡°Scatter!¡±

    Apparently, they had not given up yet and felt like they could escape!

    Qin Feng could not give them the chance as hepressed the mes into three fist-sized balls and sent them shrieking toward their fleeing targets, exploding on impact.

    His inspiration came from the whirlwind ability. Firebeam¡¯s destructive power was too strong, by condensing the mes into a smallerpact form, then causing an explosion was a much easier and less energy consuming method.

    The backs of the three were badly mutted by the explosion, even the one wearing that rune inner armor from before was blown away.

    Nobody could withstand that blow!

    Qin Feng approached to pick up theirbat backpacks and took away their name tags. With the removal of the name tags, a click sounded as the button connected to their clothing shifted. A spatial passage then swallowed them whole. They would be returned to the military base. Of course, they were deemed failures and were eliminated.

    Even the third ce of Xita University¡¯s ability course? Not at all a challenge to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Zhou Hao¡¯s voice came from the distance, soon the three others appeared within his sight.

    ¡°All clear?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Of course, these rookies wouldn¡¯t ever be able to face me!¡±

    Zhou Hao was a true G6-tier ancient warrior and had faced off and arrested criminals. Those who have not even reached G-tier would find it impossible to be his opponent.

    ¡°Great!¡± Qin Feng gave him a thumbs up, not being stingy with his praise.

    Zhou Hao grinned and said, ¡°This group is basically blind, thinking that the only strong one in our group is Zhao Yu. Absolutely nobody came at me, then they got a swift boot to the face!¡±

    As Zhou Hao was wearing a cloak that had an ability to hide its user, after applying internal force into the cloak, the silver light surrounding him made Zhou Hao undetectable by the naked eye.

    ¡°There¡¯s enough food for all of us!¡±

    After collecting the food from the three teams, the amount would be enough to feed them for three days.

    ¡°Looks like it¡¯s going to get dark soon, and there are two days left. Let¡¯s not rush, there¡¯ll definitely be danger at night. We¡¯ll rest here, good thing when they set up the ambush they ced beast repents!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    ¡°Okay, you¡¯re the boss!¡±

    Among them, Qin Feng was considered as the leader.

    Technically speaking, these people did not deliberately set up an ambush for Qin Feng. Instead, this was where they were nning to rest. Then the gunner ying sentry spotted Qin Feng. At first nce, Qin Feng was just an ability user ranked twenty-first, thinking that they were the lowest rank, the ambush was set in motion.

    Who would have thought Qin Feng was a wall of steel?

    The four found shelter and began to eat some biscuits, which merely left their mouths feeling dry.

    At this point, a ttering sound came from among the grass. Zhang Tianche and Zhou Hao were immediately alerted.

    Very quickly a white blur rushed out of a clump of grass and flew toward Qin Feng

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    The white blur was too fast, but Qin Feng did not make any attempts to retaliate, when the white shadow stopped, they saw that it was just a white Pomeranian.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s just Xiao Bai!¡± Zhou Hao dropped his defensive stance.

    Xiao Bai did not return alone, in its jaws was a fat rabbit muchrger than its entire body.

    ¡°Looks like we can add something for dinner tonight!¡± Qin Feng said with a smile.

    ¡°Good, good! Some roast rabbit meat!¡± Zhou Hao was also very happy.

    With a fire ability, making a fire was no problem at all. Zhao Yu released a fireball, igniting the collected dry branches. Zhang Tianche¡¯s scalpel swished, quickly skinning the rabbit and removing the offal, then he thered the meat with the juiced sweet berries they found earlier to give it a rich taste.

    Soon, the fragrance of roasted rabbit wafted into the air.

    Zhao Yu was starting to get a little bit emotional. ¡°I don¡¯t think we¡¯re here to fight, but for a walk in the park!¡±

    ¡°An outing in the wild, but that still depends on strength!¡± Zhou Hao chuckled.

    Soon the rabbit was roasted, and the sky had turnedpletely dark. The four surrounded the warm fire, heartily eating their delicious barbeque. While they werefortable and rxed, the others were terrified.

    The night was when the nocturnal ultra beasts came out one after the other. They had all arrived for their annual carnal feast.

    Humans, in their eyes, were food!

    ¡°Awoo...¡±[1] A long howl came from the distance.

    ¡°Awoo... Awoo...¡± One after the other.

    ¡°Wolf pack!¡± Zhao Yu¡¯s face paled. ¡°It¡¯s not too far away from us!¡± Qin Feng sat up straight.

    The situation did not look good, worst still, it was happening a short distance away from them. The wolf pack was running through the forest, and soon a scream pierced the air.

    ¡°Help!¡±

    ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t leave me alone, help!¡±

    The sound quickly disappeared. It was unclear whether they were killed by the timber wolves or they removed their name tag in order to get transported out of the Spring Hunting Ground through the spatial passage.

    Their faces became solemn as they knew that the sound wasing toward their direction.

    Qin Feng and the rest were openly cooking their meat, those gunners were not stupid and would have seen them while they were patrolling.

    After meeting the wolf pack, they started sprinting toward Qin Feng and the others. Whether or not they managed to save themselves, they knew that if they dragged more people into this mess there would be a small chance that they could survive.

    ¡°Up the tree!¡± Qin Feng ordered while climbing up a big tree.

    Zhou Hao and Zhang Tianche grabbed Zhao Yu and hopped up the tree after him.

    Their internal forces and consciousness surged, condensing in their eyes. In the darkness, their eyesight greatly increased and they quickly spotted the figure in the distance.

    It was someone wearing a dark-green school uniform, a student from Xita University. This was to be expected, the location they entered was right next to Xita University¡¯s. After entering the forest, those that they meet would surely be from that university.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s face twisted with anger. ¡°They¡¯re gonna drag us under! I¡¯m gonna kill them!¡± He prepared to line up a shot against them.

    ¡°Zhou Hao, don¡¯t. In this situation, he¡¯ll die!¡± Zhao Yu tried to stop Zhou Hao. However, at the same time, the sound of a gun rang out beside the two.

    Bang!

    The sniper rifle sounded boomingly.

    ¡°Ahh!¡± The Xita University student who had been running for his life suddenly dropped to the ground.

    [1] Trantor¡¯s Thoughts: I¡¯d never thought I¡¯d reach this stage of my life where this sound has to be taken seriously because of the context. I me the Inte.

 Chapter 138 - Cruelty or Mercy

    <h4>Chapter 138: Cruelty or Mercy</h4>

    The shot found its target on the student¡¯s thigh.

    Zhao Yu and the other two subconsciously looked at the other big tree, also wanting to know just who in the world was the one that fired the shot.

    Qin Feng had a sniper rifle in his hands, it had been looted from the Xita students that ambushed them before. He did not bring any firearms when he came, and those that he had were in Xiao Bai¡¯s space which would have been an inconvenience to take out.

    Guns or not, that was a perfect opportunity, why not seize it?

    At this time, Qin Feng¡¯s face was calm and seemed to not have a reaction after firing at the other party but Zhao Yu and the rest already knew what the future had in store for that person!

    Torn apart by wolves.

    This time, another round was fired.

    Bang!

    From where Qin Feng was looking, a timber wolf had pounced out into his field of vision and was instantly shot at, blood blossoming from its scalp.

    ¡°Awoo!¡±

    The wolf howled and copsed to the ground.

    Bang bang bang!

    The sound of gunfire kept ring out and the wolves were killed off one by one.

    The Xita University student that was in despairy on the ground, mouth agape, watching as it went on around him.

    There had already been four timber wolves that were shot dead the moment they showed themselves! He suddenly felt a trace of hope.

    ¡°This can¡¯t be a gunner from our university, right? To have this kind of power in the dark, they must be very strong!¡±

    Despite his leg injury, he started to crawl forward.

    Bang!

    A bullet was shot right in front of him, dust covering his face. This was a warning shot! Warning him to not move!

    At this time, the gunshots sounded again and several more wolves were killed. This time around, there were nine dead wolves, the rest tucked their tails between their legs and ran off.

    Food was tempting but life was more important, they did not want the entire pack to get wiped out like that.

    The wolves withdrew, and the scent of blood filled the nose of the Xita University student.

    Soon, four figures came into the student¡¯s view. The moment he saw the four of them, his face twisted into something rather ghastly.

    ¡°Are you gonna move yourself, or do I have to hit you first to make you move?¡± Zhou Hao flexed his wrists..

    ¡°I¡¯ll go! I¡¯ll go!¡± the student quickly said, then hesitated before adding, ¡°Please thank your gunner for me!¡±

    The student dejectedly took off his nametag and threw it at Zhou Hao¡¯s feet, then he was consumed by space runes.

    Zhou Hou curled up withughter, ¡°Qin Feng, you shot him and the result was him thanking you!¡±

    The person did not recognize Qin Feng as the one who shot him, after all the four that appeared were two ability users and two ancient warriors. As for the ¡®gunner¡¯, since they used a sniper rifle, they probably would not reveal themselves!

    In the end, the Xita University student did not know who the other person was, only thinking that Chengbei University had such a gunner, a truly impressive person.

    ¡°Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, we¡¯re changing resting ces,¡± Qin Feng said as he ignored Zhou Hao¡¯s ridicule.

    Zhou Hao nodded and the four quickly gathered their spoils and went in another direction.

    This was not destined to be a quiet night.

    The Spring Hunting Ground was incredibly peaceful ce during the day, but at night it suddenly shifted into what felt like hell*. The wild was truly a dangerous ce.

    Those who had already stepped into the middle of the Spring Hunting Ground were afraid to step back to the outer circle and some even exited the forest entirely.

    At this time, the student remembered the words of the wise.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need you to beat them, just as long as you can survive and escape!¡±

    Many people thought this to be the truth and faltered in their advances. The first night, the number of people from the five universities were reduced by a thousand for various reasons.

    Half a night passed by in the blink of an eye, Qin Feng got up and gave Zhou Hao and Zhang Tianche a pat on the shoulders. ¡°You two get some rest!¡±

    Out of the fear that ultra beasts would attack at night, they had agreed to taking turns in keeping vigil. Zhao Yu was a girl and more importantly an ability user so she needed all the rest she could get, which was why she was not ying sentry.

    The first half of the night was Zhou Hao and Zhang Tianche¡¯s shift, and now it was Qin Feng¡¯s shift.

    ¡°Call us if there¡¯s something!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, go!¡±

    After the two had left, Qin Feng climbed up arger tree and his surroundings seemed to be darker.

    Ability, Darkness Shroud!

    Bai Li jumped off Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder andnded on another branch.

    Ping!

    Bai Li transformed into her human shape, and Qin Feng, whose eyes had be adjusted to the dark, was affected by another kind of assault. Fortunately, out of habit, Bai Li pulled out her clothes and quickly put them on.

    Qin Feng waited until after she was done before asking, ¡°How was it?¡±

    ¡°Burp!¡± Bai Li let out a burp. ¡°Good, there are a lot of fruits!¡±

    Qin Feng was speechless. ¡®You¡¯ve eaten so much that you¡¯re burping, how much is there exactly?¡¯

    ¡°What about conscious fruit?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Yours!¡± Bai Li raised her hand and very quickly a huge fruit fell into Qin Feng¡¯s arms. The fruit was about the size of a watermelon, almost twenty five centimeters in diameter, but it had strange lines on its surface, making it pitted.

    ¡°I left three back there like you said!¡± Bai Li said.

    The number of fruits produced by the conscious tree varied from year to year, but this year had a full harvest. There were thirty fruits this year and Bai Li only left one tenth of what was supposed to be there, what a pitiful number.

    Qin Feng was left with no choice.

    ¡°Hopefully the teachers don¡¯t find out!¡±

    The conscious fruits were supposed to be the rewards, to have them stolen would make Chengyang¡¯s people flip. After all, the students were not particrly strong, they would have only been able to get a few.

    ¡°Eat, it¡¯s delicious!¡± Bai Li seemed to highly rmend it. Qin Feng took out the Verdant Emperor Saber and carefully cut open a palm-sized opening. The inside of the fruit was actually liquid, in the translucent liquid there were thin threads floating around, like a bowl of vermicelli soup.

    ¡°So this is conscious fruit!¡±

    Before his rebirth, Qin Feng had never seen it. After all, this kind of thing was only meant for ability users, and as an ancient warrior, Qin Feng was not interested. Such things were not normally found in the wild.

    Today, he would get a taste of what it was like!

    Gulp!

    Qin Feng took a long sip from the edge as a sweet milky taste wafted along. Very quickly, the fruit was gulped down by him.

    His stomach swelled up and Qin Feng felt a burst of strength converging in his mind. His consciousness was rapidly growing.

    His consciousness that had not been promoted in a while rose little by little, soon Qin Feng felt that his consciousness had reached a new height.

    F4-tier!

    His perception had greatly increased, within one hundred meters, everything was clearly visible. Through gun control, his consciousness could be extended past four kilometers.

    ¡°Not only that!¡±

 Chapter 139 - Three Ranks Up

    <h4>Chapter 139: Three Ranks Up</h4>

    Qin Feng could clearly feel that some things were changing. A clearer mind and sharper perception, far from something that could be brought by the mere ranking up of consciousness.

    ¡°It must be talent. I originally had an S-tier consciousness talent, if the rune affinity is the same, I could be an S-tier ability user in the future. Though, now...¡±

    Qin Feng felt that his consciousness talent was probably over S tier by now! However, it was probably nowhere near SS rank at this point.

    ¡°One more!¡± Qin Feng said and Bai Li passed him one more conscious fruit, once more he quickly drained it after a fewrge gulps. Soon, the conscious fruits were downed one after the other, by the fifth one, Qin Feng felt that his stomach could no longer handle it.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng urged his innate ability to consume the energy remaining within his stomach.

    Everyone absorbed energy differently, some people absorbed it well, some people had a hard time doing so. To have taken in so much in one go, Qin Feng naturally would have had trouble consuming all of it, but since he had the absorption ability, it was not a problem at all.

    A huge wave of energy quickly spread throughout Qin Feng¡¯s body. His consciousness had a breakthrough once again!

    F5-tier!

    Qin Feng¡¯s perception increased again! It had now expanded to two hundred meters, and his consciousness control seemed to have reached five kilometers in range.

    ¡°Again!¡± Qin Feng felt that the hidden talent would soon be promoted! The potential of one¡¯s consciousness was really huge. The kind of potential that would normally be umted over time was triggered by Qin Feng¡¯s absorption ability, thus resulting in this rapid advancement.

    Bai Li took the fruits out again and Qin Feng ate them one by one. No normal being would be able to absorb anymore. He swallowed fifteen in one single sitting!

    F6-tier!

    Three hundred meters now, the control was now six kilometers. Not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness finally broke that threshold to be an SS-tier talent.

    Qin Feng felt that everything had changed. Yet, he could not specify what had changed.

    Only that Zhou Hao and everyone else had suddenly woken up, they looked around and realized that there was no danger then they went back to sleep, scared witless.

    The second day came and Zhao Yu¡¯s condition did not look any better. She had dark shadows under her eyes and had a spell of listlessness around her.

    On the contrary, Zhou Hao who had experienced the Corpse Corps on Zimu Mountains slept soundly despite being on guard the first half of the night, as did Zhang Tianche.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid there are going to be tough battles ahead today,¡± Qin Feng quietly said.

    ¡°Maybe we¡¯ll meet the students from the other universities, like those from Chengyang University. They would have caught up by now!¡± Zhou Hao peered around before starting to walk.

    ¡°Yeah, maybe we¡¯ll have to fight them too!¡± Zhao Yu slowly nodded.

    Zhang Tianche finally spoke, adding, ¡°A person with weak strength would have just spent a night in the outer circle. Everyone in the inner circle is not weak,bine that with being in a team, they can take down any G-tier beast.¡±

    If one were not able to handle a G-tier ultra beast, they would not even be in the Spring Hunting Garden in the first ce.

    ¡°Regardless of all that, let¡¯s get moving. This time, I¡¯ll take point, everyone try to keep radio contact!¡±

    Previously, Qin Feng had been opening up a path for the team in the front. Last night¡¯s ambush would not have happened if Qin Feng did a sweep with his perception ability.

    Extending one¡¯s consciousness had a limit, and was normally rarely used. Now, Qin Feng had reached F6-tier in consciousness, even if he did not activate his ability he would be able to see everything within three hundred meters in his mind, just like a radar.

    In other words, it was a more convenient way to find a path.

    The other three knew that they had to be careful. Qin Feng was fifty meters ahead of them, and after a certain distance he would leave marks in order to direct Zhou Hao and the others on where to go.

    Being ahead, Qin Feng quickly found himself in a rather special part of the forest.

    There was a banana tree here. However, it did not have ordinary fruits. Nowadays, fruits have undergone mild changes in the wild, causing fruits in the colonies to be more expensive than meat products.

    ¡°Bully bananas!¡±

    After eating these bananas, a person could increase their weak energy. While they were not as strong as fortification elixirs, they did not have any side effects.

    Large aptitude user families in Chengyang City fed their children these bananas as snacks to strengthen the body of the future generation. Therefore, those in an aptitude user family would naturally get stronger and stronger.

    Also, there were people here already! Xita University¡¯s people.

    There were more than thirty of them, two of them were wearing dark-green badges with golden rims which had the number 1 and 2 written on each respectively.

    ¡°Hurry up, people are gonnae!¡±

    ¡°You! Draw away those barbarous monkeys!¡±

    ¡°Move it!¡±

    Bully bananas were the favorite food of barbarous monkeys and naturally had be a hindrance to the students. However, due to therge number of people, they hade up with a good n. Some people would lure the monkeys away while the rest would go and pick the bananas.

    If it worked out, there would be a bountiful harvest.

    ¡°Guys, move thirty degrees to the right, there¡¯s good stuff over there. Lets go get it!¡±

    Qin Feng ignored the Xita University students. At this time, it was better to take advantage of the wild monkeys being drawn away by other people and reap the benefits.

    ¡°Right! We¡¯ll be there soon!¡± Zhou Hao¡¯s voice crackled from the radio. Within two minutes, the four had gathered together.

    This was arge forest, Qin Feng and his team harvesting here would not have them cross paths with the others.

    ¡°Bully bananas!¡± Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Sweet!¡±

    Zhou Hao did not want to pay attention to the G-tier monkeys, rushing out to cleanly and quickly sweep them up. Of course, most of the monkeys were being distracted by Xita University students, with only some left to pick them up.

    Needless to say, their actions would not escape the eyes of a Xita sniper.

    ¡°Damn it, these people from Chengbei University are actually stealing from us!¡±

    ¡°Steal from us?! Kill them!¡±

    ¡°Wait, one of them is from the ability user course. It¡¯s number one!¡±

    One of the ability users standing in the crowd raised his brows in interest.

    ¡°Number one of Chengbei¡¯s ability user ss?¡±

    ¡°Yes, Lin Mao, I¡¯m sure. It¡¯s a girl!¡±

    The one called Lin Mao was number one in the Xita University ability ss. His parents were both F-tier and had a high position within the Xita District. Naturally, he had wanted to be a powerful ability user ever since he was small.

    Today, he even participated in the Spring Hunting Garden with grades at the top of his ss. It was no doubt that he was one of Xita University¡¯s seeded yers, a future hope.

    Due to him having strength and being rich, five teams had decided to follow him, including the second ce, Qian Tao.

    This was Xita University¡¯s strongest team.

    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t we go and take a look. Show them what happens when they steal from us!¡±

    Lin Mao let out a frostyugh, picked up his pace and walked over.

 Chapter 140 - Lowest Rank? Try Me

    <h4>Chapter 140: Lowest Rank? Try Me</h4>

    After the others got rid of the Barbarous Monkeys, they joined up one after the other and even ignored picking the fruit!

    Qin Feng naturally felt the movements of these people.

    However, they did not try to get a surprise attack on them with their guns, and chose to swagger over instead.

    Without Qin Feng having to say anything, Zhou Hao and the rest felt it too, dropping from the tree to stand by Qin Feng. Of course, the three surrounded Zhao Yu to protect her, waiting for the arrival of the others.

    Soon, the Xita College students arrived and for that moment, Qin Feng¡¯s four-man team felt particrly alone.

    Lin Mao took two steps towards the group of four with a trace of contempt in his eyes. ¡°Number one of Chengbei colony¡¯s ability ss? Just the four of you? What did your gunner die or something? Such power is too weak!¡±

    The Xita College students suddenly burst intoughter.

    They had originally thought it was a team of five, they¡¯ve made the assumption since they didn¡¯t see the remaining gunner.

    Not only that, because Qin Feng was standing in the front, the number tag on his chest could be seen by everyone.

    ¡°Number 21?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that deadst?¡±

    ¡°How many students are in Chengbei College¡¯s ability ss? About thirty?¡±

    ¡°To think this kind of force is with the top student in ss, does Chengbei College not want to get number one this time? Then again, they¡¯ve been falling off for so many years already, without anyone outstanding popping up.¡±

    The group chattered rounds and rounds of ridicule.

    Too bad that hardly got a reaction from the other party, as if what they said were entirely untrue.

    At this time, Lin Mao let out a frostyugh, ¡°I won¡¯t make fun of you. We duel, how about it? I was thinking about just how strong the power of Chengbei College is!¡±

    Lin Mao was staring at Zhao Yu, trying to coax them out for a fair one on one. Hepletely ignored the others.

    Zhao Yu did not step out, instead Qin Feng did. ¡°Then you¡¯ll just have to go through me!¡±

    Zhao Yu didn¡¯t have a lot of experience in fighting people and wasn¡¯t sure if she could actually beat Lin Mao in her state. Only when Qin Feng stepped out, the other party wasn¡¯t very happy.

    ¡°Just you small fry, is not worthy to face our ss monitor. I¡¯ll fight you!¡± A short, chunky teenager said as he walked out, on his chest was a number tag with his ranking!

    13!

    There weren¡¯t a lot of ability users in Xita College. The position of 13 could have already been considered as a middling achievement!

    ¡°Alright! Li Yang, kick his ass!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s deadst, definitely not Li Yang¡¯s opponent!¡±

    ¡°Li Yang has a fire ability with a strong attack, won¡¯t that person die?¡±

    ¡°Hah!¡±

    The rest sneered and snickered from the sidelines, and Li Yang was also very excited, stepping forward. He wore a pair of gloves over his hands.

    Firews Set G1!

    Rune Equipment!

    It was the kind of equipment worn by beginners. While low level, the buying price was also 53 thousand. Having these gloves also meant that their family wasn¡¯t weak either.

    Qin Feng stepped forward.

    ¡°Let¡¯s start! Don¡¯t dawdle!¡± Lin Mao urged from the sidelines, as if waiting for Qin Feng to fail.

    ¡°Alright! Herees the fire!¡± Li Yang did not hesitate, shrouding his own body in mes and then several fist-sized fireballs condensed in front of him.

    ¡°Rapid Embers!¡±

    As the consciousness was urged, the mes swept towards Qin Feng like a volley of bullets from the ambush from before, one after the other.

    Looks interesting. Too bad it¡¯s too weak.

    ¡°Fire!¡± Qin Feng also urged forward his consciousness.

    ¡°Rapid Embers!¡± The same fist sized fireballs surged forward, but the color was a dark red, hitting Li Yang¡¯s fireballs.

    ¡°Bang bang bang!¡± The fireballs exploded in the air and the mes blinded everyone¡¯s eyes. Only this time there was a surprised cry from among the crowd of Xita students.

    ¡°Li Yang! Look out!

    In the shes of fire, a dark ming mass flew out and struck Li Yang right in the chest.

    ¡°Boom!¡±

    Li Yang was blown out from his spot. Even if he had protective underclothes, Li Yang was sted until his face was scorched ck.

    After awakening the human body receives greatly enhanced vitality and resistance to attack, and would not die immediately to such a blow, but Li Yang was still seriously injured.

    ¡°How could this be!¡± Li Yang¡¯s eyes widened, coughing up a mouthful of blood, still trying to process what just happened.

    Everyone else¡¯s gaze began to carry themselves more properly.

    Both of them released Rapid Embers, the ability released multiple fireballs. With Li Yang¡¯s fire runes and consciousness he could only unleash five. On the other hand, the one with the lowest rank could release up to six and under the bombardment Li Yang lost?

    They found this hard to believe, but such was the case.

    ¡°I guess I won. Do we continue?¡± Qin Feng asked casually. This sessfully roused the anger of the Xita College students.

    ¡°Kid, don¡¯t be so arrogant. You only just beat the 13th ce!¡±

    The one who hopped forward was number 10.

    ¡°Hydration!¡±

    ¡°Water Stamp!¡±

    A water ability surged forward, a huge torrent of water rushed forward with great power.

    Qin Feng let out a chuckle.

    ¡°Fire ImpactI¡±

    A huge fireball surged forward, at the same time transforming into what seemed like a spiraling dragon as it rushed towards the torrent.

    Water and fire collided, causing a huge cloud of mist to rise.

    The people of the Xita College nervously looked at the two in the middle.

    ¡°Water against fire. Water beats fire. We¡¯ll definitely win!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! Take him down! He¡¯s too arrogant!¡±

    ¡°Come on...oh!¡± And they were going to start waving a g too, but they quickly shut their mouth because the winner had already been decided in the center of that open space.

    The huge gout of me swept the area, evaporating the torrent of water and a wave of heat rolled over.

    Boom!

    The mes sted the tenth ce away, unclear if they even survived the st. The Xita College students widened their eyes.

    ¡°Next,¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Kid. Don¡¯t be too arrogant!¡± Another stood out, this time it was the sixth from the ability ss.

    Unfortunately, he too was defeated in one move. Qin Feng won again.

    Xita College¡¯s people¡¯s faces had gone pale white.

    Know that although their team consisted of thirty people, it did not mean that all of the ability ss wanted to follow them. They rejected the lower rank ones and the higher rank ones wanted to get points themselves.

    Now that the 6th had been defeated, what chance did they have?

    ¡°You¡¯re still here? You cane now!¡± Qin Feng looked to Qian Tao, ¡°After I beat the second, I can challenge the first right?¡±

    Qian Tao and Lin Moa¡¯s faces were also pale.

    Hidden to the side by his cloak, Zhou Hao wasughing so hard that his stomach hurt, and was still at the side fanning the mes.

 Chapter 141 - Got Their Asses Whooped

    <h4>Chapter 141: Got Their Asses Whooped</h4>

    ¡°Are you guys even trying? You couldn¡¯t eveny a finger on the worst student of our ability ss. Our batch only has twenty one ability users this term and you are beaten up by the weakest of them all. Yet, you say you want to challenge our top student? Don¡¯t make meugh.¡±

    Those who came from Xita University were fuming.

    Zhao Yu contained herugh and followed through. ¡°That¡¯s right. You are not worthy of challenging me until you defeat him.¡±

    ¡°Bullshit. I don¡¯t believe he is thest of your ss. You jesters from Chengbei are clearly cheating!¡± Qian Tao bellowed, ¡°Show them no mercy and annihte them!¡±

    Qian Tao decided to go all out on them. They had lost enough face along with three of their ability users. There was no need to hold back now.

    Lin Mao was the first to attack after Qian Tao lifted the restraint. The cruel look in his eyes showed that he was aiming to kill.

    ¡°Giant Woodlock!¡±

    Zap!

    The ground rose high up and multiple giant vines subsequently broke through it. The vines came alive and whipped straight at Qin Feng and co.

    Zhou Hao and Zhang Tianche dodged reflexively while Zhao Yu summoned her fire ability to protect herself. The vines caught fire when it came into contact with Zhao Yu¡¯s me and rapidly turned into ashes.

    Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!

    As the side with the advantage in numbers, it was only natural that the Xita group had several gunners in their team. Bullets showered on Qin Feng and his teammates as soon as the fight erupted.

    ¡°I was hoping for fairpetition but I guess that¡¯s too much to ask for. Since you all were the ones who vited the battle code first, then I no longer need to withhold my power,¡± Qin Feng said emotionlessly but his outgoing attack was extremely hostile.

    ¡°Carpet Hellfire!¡±

    Fire runes immediately covered the nearbynds and engulfed every enemy around Qin Feng.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    The students from Xita University groaned in pain.

    Their shirts were charred. Their legs were burned. The fire even lit the bomb that they carried.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    The chain explosions set off blew them off their feet.

    Birds resting in the shrubs were startled and took flight immediately. Other students nearby that heard the explosion were also terrified and consciously distanced themselves from the battlefield.

    Qin Feng leisurely raised his hand at the center of the cmity.

    ¡°Hellfire, dissipate!¡± The fire vanished instantly with a poof.

    All thirty enemies around him were devastated by the ruthless ze. They hadpletely lost their will as well as the ability to fight.

    ¡°How brutal! How violent!¡± Zhou Hao shook his head while stepping on the ground that was still steaming. He checked on the victims and figured all of them had survived the explosions. The teachers must have mitigated the power of the explosives. Otherwise, these people would have been blown into oblivion.

    ¡°Off you go!¡± Zhou Hao snatched a bag from one of the ancient warriors and removed the name tag on his chest.

    ¡°Damn you! You areing down with us!¡± Some of them tried to retaliate but Zhou Hao easily neutralized theirst resort and took their name tags too.

    In the process, Zhou Hao¡¯s cloak slid open and revealed his identity as the best ancient warrior of his ss.

    ¡°Damn!¡± Qian Tao cursed. He was hoping to bring at least one person down with them but unexpectedly, the guy who was hiding beneath the cloak all this while was actually the No.1 ancient warrior student in Chengbei this year.

    They thought that they were lucky to bump into a group ofmbs but it turned out that they were four ferocious wolves!

    ¡°I am leaving by myself.¡± Qian Tao removed his name tag resentfully.

    Soon, a spatial passage wrapped around Qian Tao. Before he was sent away, a silver light was seen dropping out of the portal. It was his name tag.

    The reason Qian Tao retreated willingly was that he hoped to bring along the name tag out of the hunting ground with him this way. He did not want to benefit Qin Feng, but against his wishes, the examiner had foreseen such foul y and enchanted the name tag with spatial rune beforehand. In other words, nobody could smuggle the name tag out.

    ¡°Leave your bag and get out of my sight,¡± Qin Feng ordered the remaining students.

    Lin Mao still refused to concede and threatened him, ¡°You can¡¯t be thest of your ss. I am going to report you for cheating. Just you wait.¡±

    ¡°Be my guest. Please remember to spell my name, Qin Feng, correctly when you do that.¡± Qin Feng reached out and snatched Lin Mao¡¯s name tag.

    He did not care even if he was going to be disqualified. With his capabilities now, it did not even matter even if they were to emerge as champions. After all, he had achieved his main purpose ining to the Spring Hunting Ground.

    The thirty students from Xita University were all done for. Their elimination left Qin Feng¡¯s party with more than a hundred name tags. Other than that, they also gained a few bully bananas and other goodies.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are really powerful. We don¡¯t even need to move a finger teaming up with you.¡± Zhao Yumented. She then remembered something andughed. ¡°You are really cunning, Qin Feng. You did it on purpose during the exhibition so that you would be rankedst, right?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s the only way we could lure in some greedy morons. Looking at their dejected faces when they found out the truth greatly amuses me. Haha!¡± Zhou Hao said with arge grin.

    Zhang Tianche collected the loot quietly. He alone was carrying five big backpacks.

    ¡°At least I am of some use.¡± Though his medical skills were not needed, Zhang Tianche was happy that he could still contribute as a transporter.

    The four of them moved on joyfully under Qin Feng¡¯s lead.

    The beautiful and usually quiescent Spring Hunting Ground had turned into a deafening battleground following the arrival of twenty thousand students.

    ¡°Rawr!¡± A giant tiger shrieked out in pain.

    ¡°Windbreaker Sweep!¡±

    ¡°Jet Palm!¡±

    Zhou Hao and Zhang Tianche¡¯s attacksnded on the tiger beast aggressively. It spurted a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground eventually.

    It was a G-tier beast general on the verge of bing a beast king. Yet, the monster was quickly dealt with by the team thanks to Qin Feng¡¯s containment.

    Other students would be in grave danger if they were toe across such a ferocious creature.

    It was the beast¡¯s misfortune to cross paths with Qin Feng¡¯s party.

    ¡°Let¡¯s call it a day.¡±

    They gained a lot today and could no longer stuff more items into their bags.

    The team was slowly closing in toward the center of the hunting ground. They had defeated seven teams from other universities in one day to reach here. These included students from Dongling, Hunnan, and even from their own Chengbei colony.

    They were relieved as nightshade had finally fallen.

    ¡°Hooray! We are leaving this ce tomorrow afternoon. It feels like forever,¡± Zhao Yu said, her face wane.

    Though they had earned a lot, it was still extremely unsafe to stay in the wild. The only good thing about this ce was perhaps that no rift would ur spontaneously.

    ¡°You should rest early tonight,¡± Zhou Hao suggested. It was her first time camping in the wildst night. Hence, she did not sleep well, which in turn lowered her fighting performance today.

 Chapter 142 - Competing for the Conscious Fruit

    <h4>Chapter 142: Competing for the Conscious Fruit</h4>

    ¡°Yawn. I have no energy left to do otherwise.¡±

    Zhao Yu went to sleep quickly. Zhou Hao and Zhang Tianche kept watch for the first half of the night while Qin Feng took over after that. It was a peaceful night.

    The next day, they continued to advance at an even greater speed.

    The number of students from other universities had lowered dramatically at this point. Only the strongest teams, coupled with some good luck, would be able to make it to the center of the hunting ground.

    Take the beast general they met yesterday for example. It would be an instant game over if other students were to face the monster.

    They traveled for another hour and finally reached the top of a small hill.

    On the other side of the hill was a giant in covered by fertile greeneries. However, no giant vegetation was spotted within sight other than the meadow. This made the crystalline tree that was standing in the middle of the in extremely eye-catching.

    The trunk of the tree was no different from a crystal while its leaves looked like snowkes. Ice-like vines were seen dangling on the branches.

    Among the branches, three ck and bulky fruits highly contrasted the other parts of the tree.

    Those were the conscious fruits.

    ¡°So this is the consciousness tree?¡± Zhao Yu gasped. The tree was unlike anything she had ever seen before.

    Apparently, a lot of students had arrived earlier than them. But those participants were unable to go any nearer because as soon as anyone entered within a thirty-meter radius of the tree, it would begin to attack ferociously.

    The consciousness tree was actually a mutated nt. In other words, it was more like an animal rather than a tree.

    At the moment, the tree was visibly ill-tempered. It whipped its vines andunched its snow leaves aggressively to chase away those attempting to approach the fruits.

    The consciousness tree was enraged after most of its fruits had been stolen the day before yesterday. It was understandable that the mutated tree would go berserk after more dreadful humans had shown up and were trying to take away its remaining fruits.

    ¡°Damn it! I thought that the f*cking tree is quite tame?¡±

    ¡°How are we going to get the fruits when the tree is attacking such arge area?¡±

    ¡°Quick, hold back its attack. We gotta protect our ability users!¡±

    Everyone was clearly flustered by the tree¡¯s unusual hostility.

    Qin Feng scanned the area and realized that students from all other universities were around, except for Xita University.

    That was because those from Xita who could have actually made it here had been eliminated by Qin Feng¡¯s party earlier. How unfortunate!

    The crowd of more than a hundred students was all elites from Dongling, Hunnan, and Chengyang Universities.

    ¡°There¡¯s too many of them.¡± Zhang Tianche frowned. Luckily, everyone was staying close with their own party to protect their respective ability users. Hence, some vacant spaces could still be found around the giant consciousness tree.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng was the first to stroll forward. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. They are not going to attack us. The battle between universities would only ensue after someone has plucked the conscious fruit.¡±

    ¡°True.¡± Zhou Hao quickly followed Qin Feng¡¯s footsteps. Zhao Yu and Zhang Tianche also followed suit and soon, they reached the area where everyone was at.

    The consciousness tree turned more violent all of a sudden. All its vines struck straight toward Qin Feng. Obviously, the tree recognized the scent of the being that had stolen all its fruits.

    Bai Li had plucked twenty-seven fruits from the tree at one go and left only three behind. How shameless of them for showing their faces here again!

    No wonder the tree was infuriated.

    Qin Feng was focused in the face of the vicious attacks. The consciousness tree must have lived for uncountable years but its attack was still full of vigor. Judging by its moves, the tree was at least an F-tier threat.

    Qin Feng did not want to see hisrades being hurt because of him.

    He unsheathed the Verdant Emperor Saber for the first time in the Spring Hunting Ground.

    ¡°Sword re!¡±

    Burning mes immediately wrapped around the saber and extended it by more than a meter long.

    Qin Feng swung the saber and dexterously cut off all the iing vines.

    His imprable defense was startling but that was not the end of it. He focused and unleashed his conscious energy.

    Bang!

    One of the conscious fruits that was hanging quietly on the branches a moment ago suddenly dropped to the ground without a moment¡¯s notice.

    What a sudden turn of events!

    The fruits could not be harvested by using brutal force. Since they were growing on the consciousness tree, they could only be picked by using conscious energy alone. Only an F-tier consciousness would be able to detach the fruits from the tree instantly. Of course, the pedicel would also loosen eventually if being attacked by lower-tier consciousness continuously.

    That was why the students from the three universities had been attacking it relentlessly. The effort hadsted for almost two hours.

    Unexpectedly, the fruit dropped the moment Qin Feng¡¯s party arrived.

    ¡°Dumb luck!¡±

    ¡°Grab the fruit!¡±

    ¡°It belongs to us!¡±

    All the participants were tensed up and concurrently targeted the fruit.

    Zhao Yu made her move as well.

    ¡°Up!¡± Zhao Yu¡¯s consciousness was not as great as Qin Feng¡¯s. Nheless, although she could not immediately break the pedicle, she was still capable of using telekinesis so she aimed for the fruit as soon as it started falling.

    Her conscious energy was activated quicker than the rest so the fruit initially flew straight at her.

    However, the other ability students were not there as decoration. The conscious fruit stopped short and trembled in midair as several minds tried to control it simultaneously.

    Schwaff!

    A white cloth suddenly appeared and wrapped around the fruit. The other side of the cloth was in the hands of Zhang Tianche. He grabbed with all his might and pulled the conscious fruit toward him.

    The white cloth was actually Zhang Tianche¡¯s bandage. Who would have thought that it could be used this way?

    The other students were agitated by Zhang Tianche¡¯s action.

    ¡°The fruit must stay!¡± The students screamed and jumped hungrily toward Zhang Tianche.

    This was when another two loud bangs were hearding from the tree¡¯s direction. The other two fruits had also fallen!

    The consciousness tree did not stop brandishing its branches and vines to sweep at those who dared to draw closer.

    ¡°Damn!¡±

    Those who were attacking Zhang Tianche instantly switched targets and went over to grab the two newly dropped fruits.

    Zhao Yu once again triggered her conscious energy to snatch one of the fruits, while Zhang Tianche was nning to use the same trick again.

    However, the otherpetitors reacted faster this time.

    Pow! Pow! Pow!

    A barrage of bullets tore Zhang Tianche¡¯s bandage in half. The white cloth was just mere fabric after all.

    The battle quickly escted following the series of gunshots.

    Qin Feng¡¯s party was being mercilessly targeted and numerous bullets rained on them.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Qin Feng snorted and suddenly, all the bullets that were about to reach them hung awkwardly in midair.

    ¡°Reverse!¡± He infused his consciousness into the bullets and returned them to the opponents.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    ¡°Sh*t!¡±

    ¡°Conscious rebound! How is this possible?!¡±

    The crowd squealed in disbelief.

    It was tremendously rare for a student to master such a craft. More importantly, he was doing it on a few hundred bullets. That was scary!

 Chapter 143 - Eliminating the Prodigies

    <h4>Chapter 143: Eliminating the Prodigies</h4>

    What an absurd dominance.

    While the others were being attacked by the bullets, Zhao Yu seized the opening and secured one of the fruits. On the other hand, Zhou Hao infused his inner power into the Vampire Cloak and instantly turned himself into a blurry silhouette. With the extreme speed of his Windbreaker style, he sessfully weaved around the crowd and grabbed thest fruit.

    All three fruits were gathered by Qin Feng¡¯s party. That inevitably made them everybody¡¯s target.

    ¡°Time to go!¡± Qin Feng yelled.

    His teammates did not hesitate and started to flee. They were retreating hastily.

    ¡°Go after them!¡±

    ¡°Darn it! Don¡¯t let them get away!¡±

    ¡°Put them down!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s team was chased after by arge group of desperate participants.

    Pow!

    A cannon wasing fast at them.

    ¡°Reverse!¡±

    Once again, Qin Feng used his conscious energy to rebound the cannon back to the assaulter.

    ¡°Stop looking down on me!¡± The gunner bellowed and boosted his consciousness. He intended to push back the cannon.

    However, he was instantly defeated earlier on so what difference could he have made now?

    Boom!

    The returned cannon did not budge and bombarded him along with four other students.

    ¡°Stop using your weapon. Can¡¯t you see that his skills specifically counter gunners, you morons!!¡±

    ¡°Get them!¡±

    ¡°Ancient warriors, siege them.¡±

    Ancient warriors could move rather speedily. In a prolonged chase, Zhao Yu, the slowest in their team, could possibly be caught up by the pursuers.

    But Qin Feng would not allow that to happen.

    They were now at the edge of the forest. Qin Feng swung his de and two giant trees instantly plunged to the ground.

    Bang!

    Following the explosion, the two barks blocking the path were sted away by a giant fireball.

    By that time, the three who possessed the conscious fruits had run far away, and Qin Feng was the only one remaining.

    ¡°F*ck!¡± A guy in snow-white color uniform at the front cursed.

    ¡°Boss, let¡¯s capture this guy and threaten his teammates. We will kill him if they don¡¯t turn back.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, they must be connected through themunicator.¡±

    All the pursuersid their eyes on Qin Feng. They were a humiliated bunch looking to vex their anger on him.

    Qin Feng remained calm despite being surrounded by a few hundred enemies. They might be gifted geniuses in this era and definitely had a bright future ahead of them but unfortunately, their opponent this time was a monstrous being that had traveled back from the future.

    ¡°My apologies, folks!¡±

    Qin Feng sheathed his saber and unleashed his inner power the next second.

    Carpet Hellfire was an overkill so Qin Feng decided to use a more modest skill to deal with them.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion&mdash;Pull!¡±

    A gale rose around Qin Feng and rapidly turned into a hurricane with Qin Feng at the center.

    ¡°Eh?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡±

    ¡°This is not his ability. I thought he was a fire user?¡±

    The pursuers were baffled and perplexed. Yet they could not do anything about it. Everyone was being dragged in by the unseen force.

    In the next moment, Qin Feng promptly changed the force.

    ¡°Repel!¡±

    A powerful opposing force arrived straight at their faces. Those being pulled in were suddenly pushed back. The group collided and suffered a great impact as a result of the two pr opposite forces.

    Crack.

    Someone¡¯s limb was heard breaking.

    ¡°Argh!!!¡±

    Painful groans filled the empty in.

    Puff!!

    Some of them suffered internal injuries and spurted out blood.

    Inner force engulfed everyone within sight as Qin Feng took care of the hundreds of enemies single-handedly.

    These so-called geniuses were trampled on brutally by Qin Feng.

    ¡°I am sorry. I have made my promise to the headmaster. Since you guys came uninvited, I will dly take your points.¡± Qin Feng acted innocently but he was in fact wicked to the core against the enemies.

    ¡°Damn you!¡± One of them vomited blood again. It was hard to tell whether it was because of the injury or due to the insult.

    Although they did not want to admit it, they knew there was no turnaround. Even those from Chengyang University were helpless.

    They finally gave up on resisting and removed their tags sullenly. They were soon withdrawn from the field by spatial passages and left behind their name tags.

    They acted decisively so because they had gathered multiple spirit herbs throughout the event. They still got to keep the herbs if they were to retreat now.

    These prodigies were kicked out from the Spring Hunting Ground by Qin Feng just like that.

    ¡°Collect!¡± Qin Feng gathered everyone¡¯s tags and the tags they had collected with telekinesis.

    The three groups had amassed a total of four hundred tags. Those tags were enough to fill two big backpacks.

    Just as he was wrapping up the fight, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator suddenly rang.

    ¡°Qin Feng,e quick!¡±

    His facial expression changed after hearing the SOS call. ¡°Turn back!¡± He called out solemnly.

    A series of hushed footsteps and rapid breathing came through themunicator.

    ¡°Qin Feng, we met Lin Kai on our way out. They have overwhelming numbers!¡± Zhao Yu reported urgently.

    ¡°Are they still chasing after all of you?¡± Qin Feng was worried.

    ¡°Yes. Zhang Tianche has been injured!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t panic. It¡¯s nothing serious.¡± Zhang Tianche still sounded calm but Qin Feng could tell that they were still fleeing frantically. His gaze turned cold and he instantlyunched his feet into a sprint.

    His face muscles were taut and he was expressionless. Yet, the suffocating aura around him was telling enough about his killing intent. ¡®Lin Kai, prepare to die! We will settle our past and present grudge once and for all!¡¯

    Qin Feng ran faster than ever before. Zhou Hao and his other teammates had not run off too far away. They were only about three hundred meters away from his position. He located them easily with his consciousness and dashed in their direction swiftly.

    Qin Feng maneuvered across the dense forest and reached his friends within a minute.

    Zhou Hao and the others were surrounded when he arrived.

    ¡°Bastard!¡± Zhou Hao roared and delivered a fierce kick.

    Bang!

    Chen Ming met the kick with his own and sessfully stopped Zhou Hao¡¯s attack. They were on par in terms of strength and the battle was intense.

    Notably, Zhou Hao was at G6-tier now and was considered pretty powerful at his age. Yet, he had failed to ovee Chen Ming. Not only that but Chen Ming seemed to be fighting with plenty left in his tank. He was toying with Zhou Hao.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Zhou Hao? I thought you were the first in your ss? Is that all you are capable of?¡±

    The othersughed mockingly.

    ¡°Young Master Lin, they must have collected a lot of valuable itemsing this deep into the hunting ground.¡±

    ¡°So are their points. We would surely im the top spot after defeating them!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right! Congrattions, Young Master!¡±

    Lin Kai was overjoyed as he watched Chen Ming battle with great satisfaction.

    ¡°My obedient pet is so strong and it doesn¡¯t matter even if Qin Feng is here. He probably never expected this to be Chen Ming¡¯s true strength!¡±

    Chen Ming¡¯sugh froze in the middle of the fight and a sense of fury appeared in his eyes.

 Chapter 144 - Chen Mingâ€™s Mutation

    <h4>Chapter 144: Chen Ming¡¯s Mutation</h4>

    Zhou Haoughed hysterically after hearing what Lin Kai said.

    ¡°Hahaha. Chen Ming, what¡¯s there to be proud of? No matter how powerful you are, you are no more than a pawn. Lin Kai doesn¡¯t even view you as a person!¡±

    Chen Ming was infuriated as Zhou Hao¡¯s mockery was dead on the target.

    ¡°You are no better. You are one good pet yourself. If not because of Qin Feng, do you think you will reach where you are now?¡± Chen Ming kicked furiously and sent Zhou Hao flying backward.

    ¡°Urgh!¡± Blood sshed out from Zhou Hao¡¯s mouth. If he were not protected by the rat king Chainmail given by Qin Feng, Zhou Hao¡¯s internal organs would have been crushed now.

    Chen Ming paced toward him slowly. Did Chen Ming ever regret up to this point? If only he had pretended to be Qin Feng¡¯s buddy longer, would he be the same as Zhou Hao now? Would he also be supplied with martial arts techniques, carried by Qin Feng to hunt in the wild, and holding onto a beast-king-tier armor?

    Who would have foreseen how strong Qin Feng had gotten now?

    They started off equally as orphans but ended up in such a huge disparity.

    ¡®What makes you so special that you are able to get all the benefits from Qin Feng? I cannot allow you to continue to enjoy things that should be mine!¡¯ Thinking as such, Chen Ming raised his foot and stomped down viciously.

    He was aiming for the head and Zhou Hao¡¯s head would definitely be crushed if Chen Ming were to use his full force. Zhou Hao reflexively raised his elbow to block Chen Ming¡¯s foot.

    Before he felt the anticipated pain, the person above him suddenly yelped.

    Zhou Hao opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

    His savior was not wearing any protective gear and his scarlet uniform remained untouched after the three-day expedition.

    The saber on his waist was still ring to the eyes, though the scabbard had concealed most of its radiance.

    It was none other than Qin Feng. He had made it in the nick of time.

    ¡°How dare youpare yourself to Zhou Hao?¡± Qin Feng scoffed coldly at Chen Ming. ¡°Of course, there¡¯s a difference. He is my brother while you are just someone¡¯s pet. You think too highly of yourself.¡±

    Chen Ming was clutching his belly after being kicked by Qin Feng. His whole body was quivering after the impact. But it was Qin Feng¡¯s words that had hurt him the most.

    ¡°I am not his pawn. Lin Kai is the one thinking too highly of himself. He is nothing more than trash!¡± Chen Ming bellowed exasperatedly.

    Lin Kai¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. He did not expect those words toe out from his pet¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°Chen Ming, are you insane? I am going to kill you!¡±

    Chen Mingughed hideously. He then struck rampantly.

    ¡°I have been putting up with you for too long now. Die!¡±

    Chen Ming dashed toward Lin Kai and grabbed him. In the process, his fingers suddenly transformed into sharp wolf paws. It was an actual transfiguration and not the usual materialization of inner energy.

    Qin Feng and Zhou Hao were startled by the sudden turn of events.

    They immediately understood what happened to Chen Ming. After all, they had once hunted down someone with simr capabilities&mdash;Viper.

    ¡°You are a mutant subject?!¡± Zhou Hao eximed. But his exmation was submerged by a horrible screech.

    Blood was spurting out from Lin Kai¡¯s neck. His carotid arteries were sliced open by Chen Ming¡¯s sharp ws.

    ¡°Argh!!!¡± Lin Kai continued to scream in pain but realized that more blood wasing out through his mouth. He thus stopped shrieking and held his neck with one hand while the other hand was reaching desperately for the first aid kit in his bag.

    Chen Ming stepped on his body mercilessly.

    ¡°Look, isn¡¯t he the epitome of trash? How dare you order me around, huh? The only reason I ever listened to you is because you might have information someone needs. You dare call me your pet and pawn? F*ck off, you disgusting piece of sh*t!¡±

    Everyone was shocked by Chen Ming¡¯s abrupt revtion. Qin Feng astutely picked out the key points within his furious babbling.

    ¡®What does he mean? Who would have wanted information from Lin Kai, who is nothing more than a spoiled yboy?¡¯ He connected some of the dots but there was too little information to make much out of it all.

    He did not dwell on the matter much since everything would be clear once he captures Chen Ming.

    Meanwhile, the other students could only watch in panic.

    ¡°Chen Ming, let him go. Young Master Lin is going to die at this rate.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. We can talk this out. Don¡¯t do this to him!¡±

    They were all of Lin Kai¡¯s followers. Though he had not been nice to them, they would be held responsible if anything were to happen to Lin Kai. After all, Lin Kai¡¯s father was the deputy mayor.

    However, Chen Ming was too hot-headed and could not care less.

    ¡°Hehe. He is just rubbish. Die already!¡± He switched his gaze from Lin Kai to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are the one at the alley one month ago, right?¡± His gaze now fell on the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Among them, only Qin Feng understood his question. Chen Ming was clearly referring to the incident where his leg got amputated.

    ¡°How about the incident at the gathering? Are you the one behind it?¡± Qin Feng asked reciprocally.

    Chen Ming guffawed. ¡°You figured that out? That¡¯s why you have taken my legs. Just because of a peasant? She is nothing more than an ant!¡±

    Qin Feng reprimanded him. ¡°She is our friend! We have been living together since we were six years old. We sat in the same ssroom for ten long years! Besides, if I am not at the scene that day, does that mean all of them were going to die? You should be grateful that I didn¡¯t take your life after you have done such an unforgivable deed!¡±

    ¡°F*ck them. Qin Feng, you are an ability user yourself. Why are you still holding to that useless and childish sympathy of yours? They are all trash! We are the special ones while those who are without ability are all expandable!¡±

    ¡°Chen Ming, I can¡¯t believe you bought those brain-washing bullsh*t the Dark Coalition has been feeding you!¡± Qin Feng chastised spitefully.

    Everyone was getting more and more confused with the ongoing conversation except for Zhou Hao.

    ¡°Chen Ming, you were behind the attackst month? Why did you do that? How could you?¡± Zhou Hao questioned angrily.

    A lot of people got injured that day and Yang Qian even lost her lower limb.

    ¡°Why?¡± Chen Mingughed hysterically. ¡°Because I want more power. I have had enough. I am sick of being looked down upon as an orphan. I will be stronger and surpass each and every one of you!¡± His eyes disyed nothing but insanity.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you have my thanks. If you have not severed my legs, I would not have be what I am today. You will be surprised to see how powerful I am now.¡± As he spoke, his body, especially his legs, began to transfigure rapidly. His pants were ripped apart, exposing the furry beast-like legs beneath it.

 Chapter 145 - Qin Feng versus Chen Ming

    <h4>Chapter 145: Qin Feng versus Chen Ming</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    It was a pair of hind legs from a beast, covered with greyish-ck fur that was robustly sharpened. The shape of his legs had changed while his sport shoes were torn apart as they were unable to withstand the ergement!

    Chen Ming¡¯s height had also increased tremendously while the muscles on his body had be bulkier.

    The height increase continued until he was two meters tall, and now, none of his body parts had the features of a normal human being.

    It was as if he had be a werewolf.

    Nheless, his horrifying aura was very close to an F-tier beast king.

    The presence of his intimidating aura would heavily put pressure on any G-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°Ugh... hoo...¡± Lin Kai could not resist the gigantic force while being stepped on by Chen Ming¡¯s foot as he wheezed one final breath before his head drooped limply to the side, all life leaving his body.

    Soon after his death, it seemed that the name tag was able to detect the changes in him, there was a spatial passage that appeared immediately and teleported Lin Kai out from the space.

    Students that were in the surroundings were shocked and their eyes were wide opened, while fear started to haunt the crowd.

    It was unknown who took the lead to step backward, one step, two steps, and soon everyone had started to turn around and run away as fast as they could.

    Now, the area was left with only five people.

    Although Zhou Hao did not like Chen Ming, he did not expect Chen Ming to be in this state with such a shocking transformation.

    ¡°You are mad, you really are!¡± Zhou Hao said in disbelief.

    ¡°Hahahaha!¡± Chen Ming let out a wickedugh.

    It seemed that the transformation had also changed Chen Ming¡¯s voice.

    It was huskier and was totally unrecognizable!

    ¡°I am mad? I¡¯m not, it¡¯s just that I have be more powerful, and all of you will not understand!¡± Chen Mingughed coldly. ¡°Qin Feng, you cut off my legs, and wiped out my mercenary unit, however, I was lucky to be tipped off by one of my informants, now, did I surprise you?¡±

    Qin Feng did not falter although the words had slightly caught him off guard.

    ¡°And you allowed him to perform the experiment on you? Chen Ming, should I consider you as smart, or should I consider you the opposite? Weren¡¯t you trying to catch a subject of experiment by putting all of us in a dire situation? And now you have allowed yourself to be experimented on?¡±

    ¡°How am I the same as all of you, all of you are being deprived, and I am the one who has been strengthened!¡± Chen Ming burst intoughter.

    ¡°You are digging your own grave!¡± Qin Feng replied in an uninterested tone.

    ¡°Save it for yourself, you are only prolonging your time to face your death with your speech. Qin Feng, you are the one who cut off my legs, now, be prepared to face your own demise as I am integrated with the gene of an F-tier wolf king with boosted speed!¡±

    Chen Ming pounced over beforepleting his sentence.

    He had the features of a wolf in his appearance as his face was distorted with a more protruded chin, while saliva was dripping from his mouth and his eyes had turned gradually from blood red to pitch-ck colour.

    Those were signs that he had lost his mind.

    It was not that Chen Ming did not want to continue the argument with Qin Feng, it was that his mind that had slowed down.

    Furthermore, it was the best option to get Qin Feng killed.

    It was his n from the beginning.

    Bam!

    A stomp from the foot had imprinted a huge pit on the ground.

    Chen Ming was like a bomb as he rushed toward Qin Feng at high speed.

    Wolf ws had turned into des.

    Qin Feng immediately took out his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Bam bam bam!

    Both Verdant Emperor Saber and Chen Ming¡¯s wolf ws collided with each other and what followed was an insane number of shes between them.

    The shes dazzled at high speed and the movements were also blurred.

    Zhou Hao and the two others around could only capture collisions of faded shadows.

    It was too fast!

    It was impossible to be captured with the naked eye.

    Both of them distanced themselves from each other, and now, Chen Ming had stopped the attacks.

    Chen Ming raised his wolf ws and noticed that they were dripping with blood and one of the fingernails had even fallen off from his w.

    He was in disbelief at what he had witnessed.

    As he himself would know how sharpened and powerful his fingernails were.

    However, they were now being cut off!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was very sharp and it could even cut through fingernails of a beast king. Although Chen Ming might have already integrated with the genes of a beast king, but one would never know whether it was a genuine one!

    F-tier beast kings were indeed powerful, Dark-Robed Ripper, Emperor Knight, and Steel-limb Broodmother, any of those should never be belittled.

    However, Qin Feng was not the same anymore!

    Qin Feng had now achieved F6-tier for both of his physical and conscious energy, equivalent to the level of a beast king that was rich in internal strength that was quadruple of that of a pinnacle F-tier, and could even cope with any ordinary E-tier aptitude user.

    It was at that moment where every self-satisfaction and arrogance of Chen Ming had turned into aughing stock.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Suddenly, Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber was engulfed in massive mes, and the me swiftly surrounded Chen Ming.

    ¡°sh!¡±

    Qin Feng drew his saber across Chen Ming¡¯s arm and it fell apart within a split second, the wounded part did not bleed and appeared to be roasted.

    ¡°Argh!!!¡±

    Chen Ming let out a miserable howl.

    ¡°Double hit!¡±

    Qin Feng waved his saber again and took down Chen Ming¡¯s remaining arm.

    Chen Ming¡¯s ck pupils slowly reversed to its blood-red colour, while fear and disbelief began to rise in him.

    It was not that Chen Ming did not attempt to dodge, however, Qin Feng was moving too fast.

    Chen Ming wanted to escape.

    However, it was toote for him.

    ¡°Triple hit!¡±

    Qin Feng waved his saber again and it was about to hit Chen Ming¡¯s waist.

    Chen Ming let out a bestial scream.

    He lost his legs as soon as the hitnded on his thighs.

    He was unable to stand anymore, and fell onto the ground heavily.

    Chen Ming, with his limbs all gone, wriggled like a human rod.

    He was no longer able to pose as a threat.

    Fresh blood gushed out from the scorched wounds and flowed out from all four openings from where his limbs once were, Chen Ming¡¯s struggle slowed down, while the greyish fur on his face retracted and revealed his original appearance.

    As ck colour had faded away, his pupils turned from red to white, and he could barely breath with his weakened body.

    A pair of ck shoes appeared before his eyes.

    Qin Feng squatted down.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Chen Ming gnashed his teeth as he yelled out the name.

    ¡°Chen Ming, I still have another question!¡± Qin Feng asked calmly, ¡°Why do you hate me so much?¡±

    ¡°Why? Don¡¯t you think that you are a hateful person? We were both from the orphanage, however, you had better luck, everyone liked you, and in order to survive, I had to be close to you, or else I would be beaten up, extorted, and bullied by others. Since we were young, you were always ahead of me, and it had been my evil obsession to surpass you!¡±

    Qin Feng recalled in his mind when Chen Ming was still five years old, when he was sent to the orphanage as his parents had died all of a sudden. He had led a reclusive life since then, he did not want to talk to the other kids as he was revolted by how dirty they were.

    When they had grown up, Chen Ming was provided with monthly allowance, and he cried in grief when he was robbed by some gangsters; it was Qin Feng that had risked his life in a fight and retrieved the money back, since then, the gangsters had never gotten in their way ever again.

 Chapter 146 - Traces of Z

    <h4>Chapter 146: Traces of Z</h4>

    In Chen Ming¡¯s point of view, was everything that happened merely his way ofpromise in order to obtain what he wanted?

    Qin Feng thought that he and Chen Ming had developed true friendship, however, it seemed that it was merely his own assumption!

    Qin Feng felt even more tranquil and calm than he ever was.

    He maintained a calm expression and was about to find out what he had wished to know all these while!

    ¡°Since you have already obtained such an ability, why would you still get close to Lin Kai?¡±

    Chen Ming knew that he was about to die, and he replied with a sneer, ¡°Why would I tell you! I will never satisfy your curiosity.¡±

    Surprisingly, Qin Feng nodded and replied, ¡°True, if you do tell me, I might even explore further to find out, as the saying goes, curiosity kills the cat.¡±

    Chen Ming was unbothered by the reply.

    Qin Feng continued, ¡°Since you are in contact with the superior of the organisation, would that also mean that he has sent you over to spy on Deputy Mayor Lin? Did they assume that it was Deputy Mayor Lin that has taken away the experiment findings from the destroyedboratory? Or perhaps the materials?¡±

    Chen Ming, who was originally nonchnt, suddenly looked at Qin Feng.

    ¡°How did you know?¡±

    Qin Feng started tough.

    Chen Ming¡¯s reaction had affirmed Qin Feng¡¯s assumption!

    ¡°It is because I was the one... who destroyed theboratory!¡± Qin Feng moved closer to Chen Ming and lowered his voice with internal strength, and only allowed Chen Ming to capture his words.

    Chen Ming¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief.

    ¡°Ha...haha...ugh ugh ugh...¡± Chen Ming spitted out blood from his mouth.

    Chen Ming did not think that this would be his end!

    Chen Ming did not give up even after he had lost his legs to Qin Feng, he even knew that Lin Kai was the cause of the experiment on those people that were being captured.

    Therefore, after Chen Ming had volunteered himself to be strengthened via the experiment, he was assigned by the superiors to spy on Lin Kai and find out whether he had any information regarding the experiments, and also to revert back on the information obtained.

    However, Chen Ming did not know that he was wrong from the beginning!

    It was Qin Feng, and not Lin Zheng, that had destroyed theboratory.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I can never understand you, why would you know about these? Furthermore, why would you destroy theboratory, was it revenge for the students?¡± Chen Ming questioned.

    Qin Feng would not answer that.

    He would keep the secret of his rebirth forever!

    ¡°Therefore, I am aware of the secret, and I also want to destroy it, just assume that I am meddling in other people¡¯s business, who is your superior? Do you really not want to let me know?¡±

    ¡°Would you find him, and kill him?¡± Chen Ming let out a mockingugh.

    ¡°I will!¡± Qin Feng replied without any hesitation!

    Suddenly, Chen Ming felt a sense of anticipation.

    Many have said that before one dies, the final words the person leaves behind would be good ones.

    Chen Ming was different.

    Chen Ming looked forward to Qin Feng paving his own path toward death by going after his superior.

    ¡°His name is Liang Kan! I still have his contact saved in mymunicator!¡± Chen Ming suddenly burst out inughter, ¡°Qin Feng, you have to keep your promise to look for him!¡±

    Liang Kan was an E-tier and had strong experimental genes that had dramatically boosted hisbat power.

    Qin Feng could never go up against him with his capabilities now.

    Chen Mingughed till his final breath took him away!

    Qin Feng witnessed the mixed feelings of hatred and satisfaction from Chen Ming¡¯s expression, however, he remained unbothered by it and released the mes.

    Chen Ming was immediately devoured by the mes, and even if the spatial passage had teleported him outside, there would only be ashes left from his body.

    It would be best to keep Chen Ming¡¯s mutation as a secret from the others as the implications were wider than anyone would expect.

    Qin Feng stood up and there were no traces left on the ground.

    The remaining three people were looking at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Let¡¯s clean up the battlefield!¡± Qin Feng gave his order.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Zhou Hao nodded solemnly.

    Zhao Yu felt anxious and thought that there might be some rming secret that had yet to be revealed but she kept it to herself.

    ¡°How¡¯s your wound?¡± Qin Feng looked at Zhan Tianche.

    ¡°It will be easily taken care of once we are safe!¡± Zhan Tianche nodded. There was an arrow pierced through his shoulder, obviously, it was caused by a crossbow.

    Most of the time, for aptitude users, hidden weapons were more threatening whenpared to ordinary firearms.

    ¡°I am sorry, it was all because of my incapability!¡± Zhao Yu felt guilty.

    Zhan Tianche wounded himself when he was protecting Zhao Yu during their retreat. Although he might not be highly skilled, being ranked twenty first in their course was no easy feat, he could have easily protected himself from such attacks.

    ¡°We are in the same team, don¡¯t you feel bad about this!¡± Qin Feng calmed Zhao Yu down, ¡°Go and get the name tags, I will take care of Zhang Tianche¡¯s wound.¡±

    Qin Feng was quite experienced in first aid treatment,bined with Zhang Tianche¡¯s remaining arm that was unharmed, both of them took care of the wound swiftly and Zhang Tianche managed to recover to a better state by tuning his neigong.

    Zhou Hao and Zhao Yu returned with their loot.

    Indeed, the loot was in abundance.

    Most of the students remained at the outer ring during their first day, while the inner ring was mostly dominated by capable students that were after the conscious fruits. However, with the presence of Chen Ming, none of the students were capable of going up against him.

    Therefore, Chen Ming led Lin Kai and the others on an annihtion streak along the way and obtained more than three hundred name tags.

    With the four hundred name tags that were obtained by Qin Feng, and two hundred name tags that were obtained during the battles from the past two days, Qin Feng and the others had umted more than nine hundred name tags that had been fully fitted into five backpacks.

    There were also about six backpacks that were filled with all sorts of spirit herbs and fruits, the amount was indeed overwhelming!

    ¡°The Spring Hunting Ground is about to end, let¡¯s take a rest here!¡±

    There were about three thousand participants that participated in the battle, and they had already obtained more than nine hundred names tags in the elimination round; therefore, it was obvious that they had the highest chance of being the winner.

    Soon, the survival in the wilderness for three days and two nights finally ended at noon sharp.

    Suddenly, a giant spatial passage appeared in the sky and silver light rays that shone from it enveloped everyone on the ground.

    Students that were still in the Spring Hunting Ground were all wrapped by spatial runes and disappeared from where they stood.

    There were only three hundred students that had survived the annual Spring Hunting Ground, it was equivalent to one tenth of the total number of students.

    There were two crucial factors that had contributed to the scenario, it was Chen Ming that had been active in the outer ring, and also Qin Feng that had looted the conscious fruits.

    Qin Feng¡¯s team aside, the remaining teams were just lucky to have survived as none of them were even able to meet half of the expected requirements of apetitive team.

    All top tier teams from the four major universities of Hunnan, Xita, Dongling, and Chenyang were eliminated.

    Hence, as soon as Qin Feng returned from the hunting ground, he was aware of the hateful res from the surroundings.

    It was at that moment, there were students that spoke up with anger.

    ¡°Principal, I would like to make a report, it was them, they were way beyond our league, I suspect that Chengbei University hasmitted fraud by allowing the use of their senior students!¡± A student from Chengyang Colony that was wearing a white-gold uniform stared furiously at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Yes, it was them!¡±

    ¡°He had even worn a number 21 name tag as disguise and duped us with this false impression!¡±

    ¡°It was all his fault!¡±

    The crowd that was pointing their fingers at Qin Feng were all wrapped up in bandages and supported by ster casts, it was obvious that they were the elites from the three major universities that were attacked by Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion earlier.

 Chapter 147 - Taking down number 1

    <h4>Chapter 147: Taking down number 1</h4>

    However, the elites ended up in a pathetic state.

    Frankly speaking, the results from the Spring Hunting Ground were out of everyone¡¯s expectations as every core team that had high hopes ced on them were eliminated.

    Those that had survived were the unusual ones that had not been under the spotlight.

    Of course, the teachers and principals could not interfere with the results if all the teams were eliminated.

    However, there was a team that seemed to stand out among the others, and the dissatisfaction toward them had escted quickly.

    ¡°What had actually happened?¡±

    Qu Kun, the principal of Chengyang University, asked in a deep voice.

    It was the same person that had dered the rules of the Spring Hunting Ground before their entry to the grounds, he was an E9-tier ancient warrior.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Principal Deng, shouldn¡¯t you give us an exnation!¡±

    ¡°All of our students were wounded by internal strength, this student must be an ancient warrior!¡±

    Many among the crowd that were also dissatisfied questioned openly.

    The pressure from the crowd had escted quickly as their dissatisfaction had risen higher.

    Deng Nian did not care about the crowd as he was extremely satisfied with Qin Feng¡¯s harvest, as well as his aplishment of eliminating students from other universities!

    ¡°I can¡¯t help it, as I can¡¯t stop the students from performing well, however, it is true that he had just been injected with an awakening potion earlier this year, all of you should have heard his name before!¡± Deng Nian smiled as he said, ¡°His name is Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°You are Qin Feng?¡± Qu Kun frowned and focused on Qin Feng, ¡°The current mayor of Fengli Colony?¡±

    There were a few ambitious E-tier aptitude users from Chengyang City who wanted to advance so they went to the war against the Corpse Corps in hopes that they could emerge victorious and lead a new colony. However, the opportunity was taken by another youngster.

    Furthermore, the outstanding achievement in eliminating the zombies single-handedly that made him stood out from the crowd had caught the attention of the higher-ups.

    They acknowledged Qin Feng¡¯s F-tier capabilities, and he could even achieve E-tier in the near future.

    Qin Feng heard Qu Kun speak to him, and he replied.

    ¡°Yes, I am, it¡¯s my pleasure to meet you, Principal Qu!¡± Qin Feng reacted neither haughtily nor humbly as his identity as the head of a colony had been discovered, he was no longer an ordinary student!

    ¡°So it was you, but I have never heard about you being an ability user!¡± Qu Kun replied with a slight hesitation in him.

    Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities had exceeded everyone¡¯s expectation, therefore, their curiosity had driven them to find out more about Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng replied, ¡°There¡¯s nothing significant about my ability, and my results are not good during the test, I was able to take down the rubber dummy by using ancient warrior skills. Therefore, I was numbered as twenty first by the teachers!¡±

    Lin Mao and the others who were staring at Qin Feng were all infuriated.

    ¡°He is lying, how could that be insignificant, his ability was definitely overpowered! All twenty of us were defeated by a single hit of his fire ability that covered the radius of more than ten meters, he is trying to fool us!¡±

    Zhou Hao sneered unintentionally at the side.

    ¡°Although you are telling the truth, I do feel that it would be better to not diminish your own pride and acknowledge the achievements of the others, just keep it to yourself!¡±

    Lin Mao was instantly enraged and hatred was reflected on his reddish face.

    It was as if Lin Mao was advocating Qin Feng¡¯s powerful ability while degrading his own status!

    The Principal of Xita Colony was solemn.

    ¡°Forget about it, students were ranked to help them in finding a better team, while Qin Feng might be ranked as number 21, you should never underestimate your enemies, honour them, and it goes the same to your own life, never belittle anyone!¡±

    Qu Kun ended the dispute with those words.

    Subsequently, everyone started to record the number of name tags that were obtained as it would represent their umted points.

    Without a doubt, Qin Feng and the others who had absolutepetitive edge secured the champion title.

    ¡°Top ten teams of the Spring Hunting Ground would be automatically entitled a G-tier aptitude user badge¡±

    ¡°First ce will be entitled for a G-tier purple ray rune equipment, a choice from a selection of secret manuals ranging from martial arts knowledge, ability knowledge, conscious energy practice, or firearm practice, and also an additional schrship of 100,000!¡±

    ¡°First and second runner-up will be entitled a blue ray rune equipment, a choice from a selection of secret manuals ranging from martial arts knowledge, ability knowledge, conscious energy practice, or firearm practice, and also an additional schrship of 50,000!¡±

    ¡°Fourth to tenth ce will be awarded with a set of T3bat fatigues, a choice from a selection of secret manuals ranging from martial arts knowledge, ability knowledge, conscious energy practice, or firearm practice, and also an additional schrship of 10,000!¡±

    Those who were awarded would definitely cheer for themselves, however, those that were not were not frustrated as they had obtained quite a lot of herbs in the Spring Hunting Ground, and it might even be more rewarding than the awards given.

    Communicators were returned by the teachers, and Qin Feng purposely approached the ss of gunners and exined Chen Ming¡¯s situation.

    ¡°Just leave it to me, and I hope that I can have Chen Ming¡¯smunicator!¡±

    The teacher who was merely an F-tier became indecisive when standing before Qin Feng who had revealed his true capabilities with his performance earlier, his identity of being the mayor of Fengli colony was also taken into consideration.

    ¡°Let me put it this way, I¡¯ll give you themunicator, however, you will have to inform Principal Deng about this, as the mutant experiment is quite a significant issue. Furthermore...¡± The teacher frowned and became worried. ¡°Furthermore, this is rted to Deputy Mayor Lin!¡±

    The teacher was aware of the death of Lin Kai and his body that was teleported out, and he also knew that something big was about to happen!

    ¡°Hmm, I will inform Principal Deng personally!¡± Qin Fen nodded.

    The battle thatsted for three days had finally ended, some were heavily wounded, while some were extremely exhausted. However, they would still need to return to their colonies immediately.

    For those who were ranked within top ten, they could pick their rewards directly from theirmunicators. Qin Feng immediately picked a pair of G-tier purple ray rune boots and gave it to Zhou Hao as it was not useful for him.

    However, he browsed through the secret manuals of motion arts and found a secret manual of Spectre Motion Steps.

    ¡°Spectre Motion Steps was improvised by theter generations into a powerful motion arts, such as, the Phantom Motion, Spooky Phantom Motion and others.¡±

    ¡°Adding on to that, with the Brahma Sword being the prerequisite, there would be more opportunities to integrate cultivation methods with runes.¡±

    ¡°Spectre Motion Steps is the exact match for Dark Runes, it will then exin the usage of my dark abilities!¡±

    ¡°This is it!¡±

    Qin Feng confirmed his selection and immediately obtained the cultivation method.

    ¡°Qin Feng, thanks to your contribution!¡± Deng Nian had a big smile on his face as he was satisfied with Qin Feng¡¯s performance in eliminating the other four major universities and also earning respect for Chengbei University!

    ¡°It was an easy task for me, however, I do have a favor that I need from you, Principal Deng!¡± Qin Feng exined the case of Chen Ming, and there was also the presence of the others that had witnessed how Chen Ming had killed Lin Kai!

    However, Lin Zheng might put the me onto Qin Feng as he was the one that had killed Chen Ming.

    Even if this had not happened, Lin Zheng would still have hatred for him, and now, the hatred would be multiplied by ten times!

    Deng Nian became worried when he heard about Chen Ming.

 Chapter 148 - Chaos and Confusion

    <h4>Chapter 148: Chaos and Confusion</h4>

    ¡°In regards to this matter, Lin Zheng¡¯s definitely gonna find a way to get back at you. However, Chen Ming¡¯s mutation must have something to do with Lin Zheng. Whatever filth that¡¯s in there, you really have no choice but to continue the investigation. I¡¯m just saying that there¡¯s a chance that the situation¡¯s gonna get out of control. If that happens, we¡¯re gonna be in deep trouble!¡± Deng Nian said.

    Qin Feng responded with a serious nod.

    ¡°We¡¯ve gotta investigate this issue!¡±

    This case did not just involve a dark organisation out to harm innocent people. No, it went deeper than that.

    Before his rebirth, the fate of being born as a genius waspletely upended and turned into a life full of misery, hardship and anguish¡ªwho could understand his struggle?

    The higher Qin Feng strived, the more his hatred toward the Z Organisation grew.

    Now that he finally had strength that he could call his own, he would continuously build up his powers, up to the point where no one would be able to defeat him. And then, he would wipe out the Z Organisation from the face of this earth, once and for all.

    He could not afford to allow such a group to continue existing.

    This belief alone was the driving force for Qin Feng to continue growing.

    ¡°If you¡¯re thinking about it this way, then by all means, go ahead. I¡¯ll lend you my strength to block off Lin Zheng!¡± said Deng Nian.

    Qin Feng nodded, appreciating Deng Nian¡¯s intentions.

    ¡°I¡¯ll remain at Chengyang for a few days. You guys go back first!¡±

    ¡°Aye, aye!¡±

    Of course, Qin Feng still climbed into the car and left with them as a group.

    ¡°Qin Feng, we¡¯ve got a lot this time around, don¡¯t ya think? How should we divvy up the loot?¡± asked Zhou Hao.

    Qin Feng was truly holding the reins of this entire situation. After all, the group¡¯s main efforts were centered around his strength. Still, Zhao Yu and Zhang Tianche were too embarrassed to ask so Zhou Hao was the one to step up and bite the bullet!

    ¡°We¡¯ll divide it equally!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    ¡°No, no, this isn¡¯t right!¡± Zhao Yu rebutted. ¡°If not for you, we wouldn¡¯t have obtained so many items. Not to mention the fact that a great deal of the rewards are ranked.¡±

    It was Zhang Tianche¡¯s turn to step in. ¡°Qin Feng takes forty percent, we¡¯ll get twenty each!¡±

    ¡°Agreed!¡± Zhou Hao said as he nodded in agreement.

    Qin Feng smiled and nodded in unison. They had finally reached a consensus on the allocation of rewards for the time being.

    However, in the next moment, Qin Feng sent a message to Zhou Hao. ¡°You can have my share of the rewards. I want each of you to have a conscious fruit!¡±

    Zhou Hao stared wide-eyed at Qing Feng. Through themunicator, he wrote, ¡°But you¡¯re an ability user! If it were up to me, I want you to have two conscious fruits then leave the final one for Zhao Yu. It¡¯s not a big deal to her that she gets less spirit herbs, or at the very least, it won¡¯t negatively hamper her abilities. After all, it¡¯s not like you need those things now, right?¡±

    ¡°Even the best ancient warriors need a bit of conscious energy. While it isn¡¯t the most important unit of their total power, it can mean either life or death at the most crucial moment. Also, do you really think that a consciousness tree is only able to bear three conscious fruits at once?¡±

    Zhou Hao made a troubled expression.

    Qin Feng picked up Xiao Bai and held her near his chest while brushing her soft fur with affection.

    At that moment, there was a slight change in Zhou Hao¡¯s facial expression that reflected his sudden awareness of something.

    It became apparent that his mind had returned to the incident at the Greenhill copper mine.

    Back then when Xiao Bai left, she went to steal the conscious fruits!

    His thoughts then turned to the bare consciousness tree of today. In remembrance of the principal of Chengyang University, Zhou Hao mentally lit up a row of candles.

    How unfortunate!

    The exchange between them stopped then and there. Try as they might they simply could not think of anything to say to each other. Even the records on theirmunicators had been wiped clean.

    It was only after they had cleared the gates of the military base did Qin Feng get off the vehicle at a rtively busy street. As he did so, a great number of students looked up at him, eyes full of admiration. This was partly also because it was their first timeing to Chengyang City. Needless to say, just going around this bustling city once was enough for them to learn much more than they would elsewhere.

    However, most of these students would not be able to afford to stay around here for too long!

    On the other hand, Qin Feng had no such worries.

    After all, the huge amount of raw materials brought over from Han Town had not even been processed yet! Qin Feng managed to locate a rtively secluded corner and subsequently, set up a Dark Shroud around its perimeter to prevent prying eyes from looking in.

    Bai Li hopped down from his shoulder and morphed into her human form. She then put on some clothes, a cap as well as a pair of dark sunsses.

    ¡°Ah, how stuffy!¡±

    Bai Li had grown to dislike staying in her bestial form now as she could not fiddle with themunicator, nor was she able to wear pretty clothes in that form, boring her out of her mind.

    Qin Feng poked at her cute tiny nose. ¡°Alright, after I¡¯m done resting, let¡¯s go buy a new outfit for you!¡±

    ¡°Hubby¡¯s the best!¡±

    Bai Li wrapped her arms around Qin Feng and licked his cheeks yfully, disregarding the fact that he had not washed himself for the past few days.

    They quickly looked for a random hotel to check into. One in which Qin Feng was able to take a nice, long bath. After thoroughly scrubbing himself clean, he threw on a fresh, casual outfit for the first time in what seemed like ages.

    Qin Feng, who was not wearing his school uniform but was sporting a casual outfit, appeared sharp nheless. Apart from that, due to his height and toned muscles, nobody was able to make out that he was in fact, only a teenager.

    On the contrary, most people whose eyes met his would immediately be intimidated by his threatening presence.

    An F6-tier ancient warrior.

    After waving down a taxi, he brought Bai Li to a marketce where she was given total freedom to pick whichever item she wanted. It was then that Qin Feng picked up Chen Ming¡¯smunicator.

    However, there was a password set on themunicator. Luckily, Qin Feng understood Chen Ming inside-out, and after three failed attempts, he unlocked it on his fourth try.

    ¡°Liang Kan!¡±

    It did not take long for Qin Feng to find this name.

    However, to avoid alerting said person, he refrained from immediately dialling his number and instead, quickly noted down the number.

    Qin Feng switched on his ownmunicator and connected to the battle, on which he looked for a secret web page.

    ¡°Secret door!¡±

    Secret door was a special intelligence agency who, given the right price, would be more than willing to sell any information that you were looking for. They also kept their secrets well-guarded, making them more secure than any other agency.

    Qin Feng handed them Liang Kan¡¯s name and the number of hismunicator. He then stated that he needed a simple overview on the individual before paying forth a million yuan.

    To buy such information with one million yuan was way overkill. In fact, so long as the person remained in Chengyang, Qin Feng could discover way more information about Liang Kan for free if he were to put in a small bit of effort.

    However, he did not wish to go down a rabbit hole which he felt was inevitable and what was more, he did not have too much time to spare at the moment.

    After merely half an hour, the information he seeked was sent over.

    ¡°Liang Kan¡ª28 years old¡ªE-tier ancient warrior¡ªSecond-inmand of the external patrol unit of Chengyang colony!¡±

    ¡°Liang Kan¡¯s photo!¡±

    ¡°Joined Chengyang colony three years ago...¡±

    More and more information about the man appeared below but Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were locked onto one of the photos provided.

    It showed a close-up of Liang Kan posing during a training session. It must have been a scorching day when the photo was taken as glistening sweat could be seen covering his body. The sweat however, had made the weird tattoos around his neck even more obvious.

    Qin Feng stared at these tattoos for a while.

    ¡°They look so familiar. I must have seen it somewhere in the past!¡±

    Qin Feng shut his eyes and went searching through his memories. His consciousness was spinning rapidly, like the gears on a train. Memories shed through his mind like a film reel, moving at near light speed but everything appeared to him, as clear as crystal.

    Finally, a scene floated into Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    It was before his rebirth, when he was around eighteen years old. At that time, he had already reached F5-tier as an aptitude user. He was wandering around Fu City when he encountered the infamous ck Python Organization.

    Of course, back then, the organisation was in its infancy stage with only around a hundred members or so. They were made uppletely by mutants, none were aptitude users.

    They mainly operated by ransacking caravans and robbing logistic convoys. By sheer coincidence, Qin Feng was working as a guard for one of the targeted caravans. After receiving return fire from the caravan, they retreated back where they came from. One of the guys who went for Qin Feng¡¯s position was killed on the spot and had tattoos that looked just like the one in the photo right now.

    Obviously that man was not Liang Kan.

    ¡°Still, could it be possible that there¡¯s a connection between them?¡±

    Somehow, Qin Feng felt that this was merely the tip of a colossal iceberg; he would be facing more chaos and confusion in the near future.

 Chapter 149 - The Good For Nothing Child of the Xin Family

    <h4>Chapter 149: The Good For Nothing Child of the Xin Family</h4>

    ¡°Still, this is good news innit?¡±

    At least Qin Feng would not be as clueless as he was in the past, when he did not even have an inkling of an idea about the Z Organisation.

    Qin Feng smiled unwittingly at the thought of this.

    This smile however, did notst long.

    ¡°Hey pretty one, seems like you¡¯re really into these clothes. If you like it, why not buy ¡¯em up?¡± A man¡¯s teasing interrupted his thoughts. Raising his head, Qin Feng saw a grimy-looking fellow standing too close forfort to Bai Li.

    Bai Li waspletely oblivious as to the man¡¯s intentions. She innocently nodded in response to the man¡¯s words. ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll buy them all!¡±

    Bai Li had tried on quite a number of clothes and all of them looked pretty on her. The only thing left for her to do was to pay up at the counter.

    The man who had just entered this ce however, boldly assumed that Bai Li would not be able to afford these clothes. He thought that she was just here to try them out and lied about her intention to purchase the outfits.

    The one who was truly oblivious here though, was the man. He was unaware of Bai Li¡¯s abilities, which were skilfully disguised to make her appear as your average, meek little girl. The only thing that set her apart from any other girl on the street was the color of her hair and her pupils. Still, it was not impossible to get her hair color as hair dyes did exist in their world.

    Some people seeked novelty. Her white hair and silver eyes could be included as such. Not to mention the fact that she had an alluring face too!

    ¡°The tab¡¯s on me then! Name¡¯s Xin Jiasheng. I wonder what¡¯s the name of mdy?¡± Xin Jiasheng asked with a devious smile.

    Bai Li nced at this Xin Jiasheng with a weird look and responded with a simple ¡°oh¡±.

    ¡°You¡¯re trying to hook up with me? Buy me new clothes, stuff my belly with food? Are you what they call a ¡°rich man¡¯s son¡± on TV? The evil-viin antagonist type?¡± Bai Li¡¯s eyes lit up, followed by a cheekyugh. ¡°It¡¯s my first time seeing such a character in person!¡±

    Xin Jiasheng¡¯s smile turned stiff. Still, the exchange made him realise how innocent Bai Li was. She did not show despise for him as regr girls would. Instead, she was just a yful but innocent girl with no underlying intentions. At least that seemed to be the case for him.

    A thought arose in Xin Jiasheng¡¯s head.

    This girl must have been raised in an abnormal family. Given the current state of life for ordinary people, even a twelve year old child, let alone a girl her age, would have already learned many harsh lessons in life!

    ¡°Were you raised in captivity at a ve farm? Or are you an artificially raised subject from aboratory? Your eyes aren¡¯t real are they?¡± Xin Jiasheng felt an urge to stretch his arms out and grab Bai Li¡¯s waist and so, he inched closer to her.

    Xin Jiasheng¡¯s ability had already reached the tier of F6 hence his eyes and ears were sharper than ever. He had only noticed Bai Li¡¯s beauty just now but upon closer inspection, he hade to realise that she was not wearing any colored lenses nor were there stains on her hair typically found on people with dyed hair.

    Despite her peculiarity, Xin Jiasheng could not help but reach out his grubby hands. Obviously, he was trying to take advantage of the situation. There was something erotic about Bai Li¡¯s child-like innocence which caused his hand to itch. An itch which could only be cured by physical contact with the seemingly defenseless girl.

    Since aptitude users were infamous in their unscrupulous mannerisms, no one at the scene was willing to chase him away, no one dared to speak up for the innocent youngdy.

    It was when Xin Jiasheng was about to reach out that Bai Li¡¯s innocent gaze turned freezing cold, prompting his arm to jump back as if he had touched a piece of glowing hot iron.

    This was because Bai Li had sensed a malicious vibeing off of Xin Jiasheng¡¯s body.

    Moments ago, Xin Jiasheng had only nned to flirt with the pretty youngdy, perhaps he was drooling over her, perhaps his mind had wandered off into dirty thoughts but none of them were about hurting Bai Li.

    But now, the situation was not the same as before!

    If not for the location right now, Bai Li would have already struck at him with her ws immediately after detecting the malicious vibe.

    It was then that Qin Feng walked over, sullen-faced.

    It did not cross his mind that there would be some creep closing in on Bai Li just after a few minutes of him not looking!

    ¡°Apologies mister but my girlfriend here is a bit awkward around strangers. If she has identally said anything that offended you, please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Qin Feng apologised in an attempt to defuse the tense situation. His cautious eyes then shifted down toward Xin Jiasheng¡¯s sweaty hands. ¡°However, I sincerely hope you don¡¯t make any unsound decisions. Decisions which, when made, will result in consequences you may not be able to face!¡±

    Xin Jiasheng smirked.

    A G-tier aptitude user spewing nonsense in his face? This was outrageous.

    ¡°Who do ya¡¯ think you are? Get outta my face!¡±

    Xin Jiasheng raised his arm, nning to shove Qin Feng aside and to grab at the grand prize hiding behind his back.

    Well, he did shove Qin Feng, it was just that the person in front of him did not budge as he had expected he would.

    A thick wave of raw internal power came from his core, crashing down on Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Of course, Qin Feng would never head into a situation unprepared.

    His internal power swelled up in an instant, releasing four times the amount of energy of an F9 user.

    The power of both users shed, resulting in Xin Jiasheng being sent flying backward through the air.

    Xin Jiasheng was royally pissed.

    Who would have thought that this guy would contain so much power. Though, Xin Jiasheng had not exerted his full strength in his previous attack so he deduced that he could still take down Qin Feng with no problems!

    Also, Qin Feng had revealed to his enemy the extent of his abilities, which was up to F6-tier.

    Xin Jiasheng cackled. ¡°Oh ho, so your n is to make me back off with an initial show of force? Do you genuinely think that this is enough to defeat me? I can make a single call and you¡¯ll bepletely surrounded! You won¡¯t make it outta here even if you had wings on yer¡¯ back! Now, hand over that little missy behind you!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were as cold as ice. ¡°And what if I don¡¯t?¡±

    ¡°Then you shall die here today!¡±

    Xin Jiasheng announced as he was about to unleash yet another attack.

    His move however, was interrupted by the arrival of yet another aptitude user lurking in the luxury goods shop.

    This aptitude user was of F1-tier. It seemed that many forget that the people running such shops were not your average aptitude users. This one wore a formal suit, and pinned on his chest was abel with the words ¡°manager¡±.

    ¡°Master Xin, how about giving face to the Cheng family? If you want to teach the ignorant one a lesson, best do it in abat pit rather than here. Fight proudly in front of everyone while abiding by a fair set of rules!¡±

    Within Chengyang City, especially in such areas where business was conducted, fighting was strictly forbidden unless done in specified areas.

    The patrol unit focused their efforts on making this ce as secure as possible to facilitate the growth of local businesses. If anything out of the ordinary were to happen, they would arrive at the scene at a moment¡¯s notice.

    Apart from that, the Cheng family was of significant status in the city. They were not people you would want to mess around with.

    With a single sentence from the manager, Qin Feng now knew the name of the man he was facing off against as well as the powers they possessed.

    Chengyang was a massive city. Although the strongest man here was the mayor, Bai Tianyang, a D8-tier user, there were also families who had a lineage of aptitude users stretching back generations.

    Pu, He, Xin and Cheng, the four great families.

    He realised that the two men in front of him were members of said families.

    The four great families had fates that intertwined in Chengyang City. The power that theymanded was hard to grasp. It could be said that whoever crossed Xin Jiasheng, even if they were members of his own family, that person would meet his demise shortly after.

    But the man that crossed him was Qin Feng.

    Upon hearing what the manager had to say, Xin Jiasheng retreated angrily. At least the man was intelligent enough to hold back his fists.

    He shot a toxic re at Qin Feng before leaving.

    ¡°Boy, I¡¯ll give you two options. One, you and me fight at thebat pit, two, your corpse will be lying on the streets rotting away as soon as you step out from this shop. The choice is yours!¡±

    Xin Jiasheng was not nning to fight here. He also was not nning to let Qin Feng go.

    From his perspective, either choice would end with the same result¡ªQin Feng¡¯s death. Xin Jiasheng was a new generation in his family that had exceptional potential for growth, hence the strength he possessed was to an extent, unrivalled. Still, he hoped that Qin Feng would choose the former.

    Xin Jiasheng wanted everyone in the city to witness firsthand Qin Feng¡¯s humiliating defeat.

 Chapter 150 - Combat Pit of Chengyang

    <h4>Chapter 150: Combat Pit of Chengyang</h4>

    ¡°Combat pit? Even if only one of us is going to walk out alive at the end of the day?¡± Qin Feng scoffed.

    Xin Jiasheng was even more agitated after seeing Qin Feng¡¯s haughty attitude.

    ¡°That¡¯s right! Only one will remain standing!¡±

    ¡°Very well. We¡¯ll settle the score there!¡±

    Qin Feng was fearless in the face of his opponent.

    ¡°Manager, allow me to pay for my girlfriend¡¯s items!¡±

    ¡°Yes Sir, right away!¡±

    Hoping that these two muscle-headed men would leave his shop as soon as possible, he hurriedlypleted their transaction.

    ¡°There is no need for you to pay. From today onward, I will be the one paying for thatss behind you. These things that you bought, I¡¯ll throw ¡¯em all away!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled.

    ¡°You¡¯ve got a pretty vivid imagination, don¡¯t you?¡±

    Qin Feng raised his arms and stored everything that they had just bought into his own spatial rune equipment before exiting the store.

    Xin Jiasheng too, left the ce but in contrast, he climbed onto a rather luxurious roadster waiting for him outside.

    It was also another form of a hover tank.

    Qin Feng stood on the curb and it looked quite obvious that he did not possess a car, which gave Xin Jiasheng a chance to sneer at him. ¡°What¡¯s that? You don¡¯t even have a...¡±

    Halfway through his sentence, Xin Jiasheng was interrupted by Qin Feng raising his arm. With a simple wave, a hover car materialised out of thin air in front of his eyes.

    Xin Jiasheng had no choice but to take back his words, which almost made him choke on his own spit.

    The most important thing here was not how badass Qin Feng¡¯s car was. No, it was the fact that he had a spatial rune equipment!

    How much did a spatial rune equipment eight square meters in size cost, you may ask?

    Well, it far exceeded the price of a hover tank itself. It was something that even Xin Jiasheng could not afford!

    ¡°You lead the way!¡± Qin Feng said nonchntly, as if ordering a small child to do something.

    Xin Jiasheng was reaching his boiling point!

    ¡°God damn this man! Why the hell is he so c*cky!? I¡¯ll show you, regardless of whether it¡¯s your girl or your possessions, they¡¯ll all be mine!¡± A greedy look appeared in Xin Jiasheng¡¯s eyes.

    The hover tank floated into the air before moving forward at a jaw-dropping speed.

    Qin Feng followed closely on Xin Jiasheng¡¯s six. Despite where they were headed toward, he was focused more on the question of ¡°how to maximise my gains from this fight¡±.

    Thebat pit of Chengyang City!

    What an exciting turnout of events!

    Like the underground arena of Chengbei Colony, thebat pit of Chengyang City was a ce for aptitude users to slug it out. However, unlike the former which was seen as illegal hence the ¡°underground¡± in its name, thetter was a ce where the rich and wealthy came to entertain themselves as the people below fought for their opponent¡¯s blood.

    Here, fighting was done more formally. It was a ce where the abilities of aptitude users were tested to its full extent! Thus, its official name was the Chengyang Colosseum!

    While the ce did not reek of irony blood, the death rate of its participants surged higher by the day.

    Thisbat pit was where internal conflict was settled. In fact, the four big families would allow their young ones to y each other right here every year. This ensured that the men above would remain untouched, thus allowing them to focus on reaping new benefits by engaging in deals with each other.

    To settle disputes would be less ideal in other ces due to a variety of factors so most people would think of thebat pit, which provided a sense of certainty, whenever instances such as the one Qin Feng was facing right now arose.

    For the past few weeks, Qin Feng had been facing a wall which stopped him from further growing his internal strength. Who would have thought that the solution to his problem would conveniently present itself in front of him today?

    Sitting beside Qin Feng in the vehicle, Bai Li pouted. ¡°Why are you guys getting into a fight!?¡±

    Qin Fengughed. ¡°Why, of course it¡¯s because of you!¡±

    Bai Li would not have understood what Qin Feng meant by that but because it was not exactly her first time facing this sort of situation, she was able to grasp what had actually happened.

    ¡°Are you two fighting over who gets to mate with me? I¡¯m not even mature enough to breed!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s hand froze, which almost caused the vehicle to smash into a nearby skyscraper. Luckily, his reflexes were quick enough to steer the vehicle back on course. Immediately after that, he activated the auto-pilot system built into the vehicle to free up his hands, which he used to stroke Bai Li¡¯s white, flowing hair.

    ¡°You¡¯re still young yes, but you seem to know a whole lot about other things, don¡¯t you?¡±

    Bai Li sulked. ¡°You¡¯re going to thatbat pit ce. Judging from its name, I know that it¡¯s a ce for fighting. We, silver foxes, remain monogamous throughout the rest of our lives so we pick only the strongest mate to produce the best offsprings. Fighting to the death and all, how could I not know about that!?¡±

    Bai Li wore a Missus know-it-all expression on her face, which left Qin Feng speechless.

    Was Bai Li really too young?

    With a little bit more time, this smart-alec would develop an ability for cheekiness!

    ¡°Alright alright, you understand everything!¡± Qin Feng said in defeat. He had aplete grasp on where Bai Li triumphed!

    To be thinking about mating at this age, it was utterly devilish!

    Xin Jiasheng was riding on a roadster in front. Looking back through the rear-view mirror, he observed the duo in the vehicle behind him, conversing andughing as if they were having a good time. The scene sparked a bonfire within him, prompting him to step mercilessly on the gas pedal.

    Driving at such speeds, it was not too long before they arrived at the colosseum.

    ¡°I want to observe firsthand, just how much power you cane up with! When we¡¯re in the fight, best don¡¯t kneel down and beg for mercy!¡±

    Qin Feng was toozy to think of aeback. Instead, his eyes studied the structure of thebat pit.

    The arena was a vast space with an open-air design.

    The total width of the arena was nearly two hundred meters, and there were many stages for sparring matches within. The smallest ones were around ten meters across while mid-range ones were about twice as wide. The biggest however, was a great forty meters wide. Surrounding each stage were tforms for observers, so looking from afar, these stages would appear as little craters that dotted the entire arena¡¯s floor. Of course, there were also rooms that were level with the stage itself, reserved for private bookings from wealthy people of Chengyang.

    With Xin Jiasheng in the lead, Qin Feng went to the designated counter for the registration of participants.

    The facilities here were not at all inferior to the Aptitude User¡¯s Verification Hall. In fact, it appeared to be much moreprehensive.

    The rule here was that there would be rewards for every victor. However, to prevent people from hiding their true abilities and to promote fair fights, each aptitude user would be tested urately in terms of their consciousness, their raw muscle strength, their internal powers, etc.

    Luckily they did not test their rune abilities, or else Qin Feng would refuse toe here!

    Also to prevent fraudulent matches where thebatants would coborate with each other prior to the match, no rewards would be provided in such matches if the scheme were revealed. Apart from that, each participant must pay ten thousand yuan up front and would be given only half an hour to end their match.

    However, ten thousand yuan to regr aptitude users was considered a small change.

    Xin Jiasheng was evidently not your average Joe in Chengyang. As soon as he had arrived, the manager of the ce hurried over to greet him respectfully.

    ¡°Young Master Xin, I see you have time to spare today. You¡¯re here to y a match or two, right?¡±

    Xin Jiasheng was not in the mood for small talk. Using hismunicator, he picked a battle serial number and with a cold voice, he announced, ¡°There¡¯s an ignorant fool who¡¯s sent himself here to die today! I¡¯ve no choice but to teach him a once-in-a-lifetime lesson!¡±

    ¡°Ha!¡± The manager did not hesitate to kiss the man¡¯s ass. ¡°I can¡¯t believe someone can be so ignorant. From what I¡¯ve seen, no one can defeat Young Master Xin! Please give me a moment, Young Master Xin, I¡¯ll quickly arrange for you a ring to fight in!¡±

    The manager hurriedly set off to do his task. In just a short moment, a crowd had already formed around the two rivals. These people knew who Xin Jiasheng was, or at least, heard of him, so they all came together to witness his strength.

    Suddenly, Xin Jiasheng was caught under a spotlight.

    On the other hand, the observers scanned Qin Feng and Bai Li from head to toe with sympathetic eyes. There were however, some that smiled sadistically, thinking that they were about to meet their demise.

    ¡°Young Master Xin? So the one you¡¯re gonna teach a lesson to is this kid? He¡¯s got balls, don¡¯t he? Calling you out to the floor and all.¡±

    ¡°A G-tier? How can this piece of shit evenpare with Master Xin? I bet I can take him down with one arm tied!¡±

    ¡°Bah! I can take him down with both arms tied! One kick¡¯s enough to cripple this fe!¡±

    ¡°Haha!¡±

    Xin Jiasheng looked at the people throwing shade at his opponent arrogantly, which actually disgusted him to the point of gagging.

    ¡°He¡¯s no G-tier! His strength is a force to be reckoned with!¡± Xin Jiasheng dered, shutting the crowd up. ¡°But so what about it? I will beat him down from the stage regardless!¡±

    It would appear that these words alone were enough to prop his confidence up.

 Chapter 151 - The Invincible Hero

    <h4>Chapter 151: The Invincible Hero</h4>

    The sound of the hooligans cheering for Xin Jiasheng erupted in the hall.

    Qin Feng remained unyielding despite theck of support.

    Hisck of reaction backfired on Xin Jiasheng, who was already nearing his limits. It felt to him as if he had smashed his fists into a pile of soft cotton, doing zero damage to his opponent.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you pulling out now? Your battle numbers are nowhere to be seen. Chickening out I suppose?¡±

    Xin Jiasheng proudly disyed his battle number which quantified his raw strength, internal strength and other specifications. As arrogant as he might be, his stats clearly stated that he was a ¡°talent-ss¡± challenger, meaning he was quite the capable fighter.

    His title was not given to himself which was kind of surprising given his narcissistic personality. It was obtained via a unique test avable only in thisbat pit. The different sses of fighters were, respectively from the bottom, average-ss, elite-ss, talent-ss, hero-ss andstly, the invincible-ss.

    One could say that for Xin Jiasheng¡¯s current abilities, the chance of advancing into an E-tier user in the near future was pretty high. Should that daye, he would undoubtedly consolidate his position in Chengyang City.

    Qin Feng was not chickening out. It was just that he did not have a battle number.

    After all, it was his first timeing to such a ce.

    Qin Feng switched on hismunicator and linked up with the publicwork.

    ¡°Wee to the Chengyang Colosseum. Our Colosseum proudly uses state-of-the...¡±

    The voice sounded warm and weing. It must have been officially recorded using professional equipment specifically for thebat pit. The voice thoroughly exined to the neer the requirements of entering thebat pit.

    Xin Jiasheng and his goons were speechless.

    ¡°He¡¯s a first-timer?¡±

    ¡°Hey, maybe he ain¡¯t from Chengyang!¡±

    Aftering back to his senses, Xin Jiasheng¡¯s anger only grewrger.

    For a member of the great Xin family to be casually challenged on the streets by a literal nobody! This was an outright assault on his pride!

    ¡°Country bumpkin! I guess you¡¯re new to Chengyang Colony huh? No wonder you¡¯re challenging me! I¡¯ll make sure you die in the most agonizing way possible!¡±

    As the saying goes, even the strongest dragon cannot defeat a mere snake that knows his surroundings. Qin Feng, being the outsider that offended Xin Jiasheng, was no doubt, heading toward his own death!

    The people standing around could already foresee what was about to unfold!

    ¡°Son, you don¡¯t need to listen to every word this thing says. There¡¯s a machine over there that gauges aptitude users¡¯ abilities. It¡¯ll scan your entire body once you stand on it. You¡¯ll get your own battle number and it¡¯ll be announced when it¡¯s time for you to get on the battle stage. You¡¯ll be initiating the fight with Young Master Xin, so you just need to confirm that the number called matches yours!¡±

    Hearing the man¡¯s words saved Qin Feng quite a significant amount of time. Without hesitation, he stepped onto the equipment ced within the great hall.

    It was just like what the man had said. A beam of light from the machine scanned Qin Feng from head to toe.

    In the next moment, a series of beeping noises echoed across the hall.

    [Bone age test: 16 years old]

    [Raw muscle strength: Hero-ss]

    Hero-ss. He was a dragon among men, a challenger chosen by the heavens!

    What was more was that Qin Feng was only sixteen! At most, it must have been only three months since his powers had awakened.

    Without allowing these people time to react, the machine read out loud.

    [Consciousness waves detected.]

    [Consciousness: Hero-ss]

    ¡°What?¡±

    The onlookers started questioning if the machine had been busted!

    This was because the raw muscle strength that the machine calcted represented one¡¯s overall physical strength. For Qin Feng to possess such levels of power, they were sure that he was an ancient warrior.

    And yet, it was hard to imagine that his consciousness was hero-ss. The men could not believe their ears.

    On the other side of the hall, a stunned expression surfaced on Xin Jiasheng¡¯s face.

    He had been constantly provided with an endless amount of resources since young and it was only due to this that his abilities were able to advance into the tier of F6, the capability of a ¡°talent-ss¡± fighter. This came as no easy feat, even for him.

    It was precisely because of his achievement that Xin Jiasheng acted the way he did, looking down on Qin Feng as if he was nothing but a bug on the ground.

    No one else should be able to reach his level, let alone surpass him.

    However, right at this moment, all the confidence he had built up was shattered into a million pieces in the face of Qin Feng.

    Just what kind of a monster was he? Could a mere sixteen year old be able tomand powers that matched his own?

    It was not over yet!

    [Ancient Warrior Disposition Detected.]

    [Internal Strength: Invincible-ss.]

    This was the pebble that would result in a thousand waves!

    Invincible-ss!

    Who would havee to expect that someone from the Invincible-ss to be standing right before them?

    If a parallel was drawn between the five sses of fighters and the ultra beasts, then a monster standing shoulder-to-shoulder with an Invincible-ss fighter would be a beast king!

    Only a D-tier user would be able to possess such a title. The human form of a beast king¡ªit was an utterly terrifying entity.

    Cold sweat started pouring out of Xin Jiasheng¡¯s pores.

    [Analysis Complete.]

    The machine announced.

    The information hadpleted instation of itself into Qin Feng¡¯smunicator and subsequently, a newbat pit ount was created under his name; all the paperwork needed before a match wasplete.

    Qin Feng stepped down from the machine to find Xin Jiasheng¡¯s face as white as a sheet of paper.

    ¡°Let¡¯s start this thing!¡±

    Qin Feng kept his words concise. However, these words sounded in Xin Jiasheng¡¯s ears like the devil¡¯s curse itself.

    ¡®Let¡¯s start this thing?¡¯

    ¡®What is there to start?¡¯

    ¡®Start my slow march toward demise?¡¯

    Xin Jiasheng could no longer keep up hisposure. The opponent was Invincible-ss in terms of both internal strength and consciousness while his raw muscle strength was Talent-ss. Did he really have a choice to refuse when someone this strong was challenging him?

    ¡°Son, looks like you¡¯re in luck. Just you wait and see, you won¡¯t be able to defeat me with your powers alone. Insulting me and my family will only spell disaster for youter on!¡± Xin Jiasheng bellowed.

    Qin Feng¡¯s facial expression had finally changed.

    ¡°What? Did you swallow your own words? I thought you and I were supposed to see this through till the end, where either one of us will remain standing!? Are you chickening out?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s attitude reflected just how irrelevant his opponent was in his eyes!

    Xin Jiasheng, who was blinded with rage, almost responded to his provocation but stopped midway.

    He was too afraid of the consequences!

    He feared what would result if he were to sh with Qin Feng. There was no way to go around it, he was chickening out at thest minute.

    Feeling that he had already lost all the dignity he had, Xin Jiasheng uttered random words that came into his mind.

    ¡°Stay here if you have balls!¡± These words echoed clearly through the hall but Xin Jiasheng turned and walked away immediately after saying that, as if he was running away from a tidal wave.

    Xin Jiasheng had run away. The people who initially cheered for the coward wore awkward looks on their faces¡ªnone of them dared to look Qin Feng in the eye.

    Despite them trying to hide mentally from the challenger, Qin Feng pointed his finger toward a random hooligan.

    ¡°You! Didn¡¯t you say that you could take me down with a single hand?¡±

    Being pointed out so suddenly, the man desperately tried to save himself from humiliation.

    ¡°No no no, my ss is miles lower than yours. There¡¯s no point fighting me!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered and just like Xin Jiasheng from moments ago, the man started running for his life.

    Qin Feng then shifted his gaze to another man.

    ¡°You. Wanna have a match? Both hands tied right? One kick would take me down right?¡±

    Beads of sweat decorated his forehead.

    This man appeared to be of a higher tier than Qin Feng, at F7. However, his raw muscle strength was just that of a regr person. So what if his level was higher than Qin Feng? In an actualbat situation, he would be decimated within the first minute!

    ¡°Ah, I gotta go take a shit! Owh, it hurts! I gotta go to the loo!¡±

    That man ran off with his tail between his legs!

    Most of the people there knew that rationally, this was the best choice to make. Pride did not matter when one¡¯s concern was that of survival.

    ¡°Is there anyone here that would like to step up to the challenge? I, a COUNTRY BUMPKIN, came here from a humble vige and would like to learn a trick or two from you masters by way of the fist!¡±

    Qin Feng emphasised on the words country bumpkin.

    None of them believed that Qin Feng was a country bumpkin anymore!

    At such a young age, with such powers, even if Qin Feng were to say that he hailed from the one-and-only Emperor Dragon City of the Eastern Maind, they would all eat it up like the idiots they were.

    ¡°Hehe, I think I left the stove on at home!¡±

    ¡°Ah, my favorite TV show is premiering live right now!¡±

    ¡°Hello? Wifey? Ah, you¡¯re going intobour? I¡¯ll be there in a sec!¡±

    Within a matter of moments, these people acted as if they did not even know who Xin Jiasheng was, nor sneered at Qin Feng just minutes ago. All of them, at the same time, had matters to tend to elsewhere and after giving extremelyme reasons, they scattered off like rats when a cat enters the barn.

 Chapter 152 - Donâ€™t Let Him Leave The Arena Alive

    <h4>Chapter 152: Don¡¯t Let Him Leave The Arena Alive</h4>

    Qin Feng sneered in disgust at the cowardly bunch but made no effort to stop them from leaving.

    Right around then, the manager who went off to make arrangements for their match returned, only to realise that Xin Jiasheng, one of the fighters, had vanished.

    It was not just him that had disappeared but the rest of his goons too, leaving Qin Feng standing by himself in the middle of the hall.

    The manager who was famous for sucking up to members of the Xin family wore a troubled look on his face. He looked over at Qin Feng in contempt. ¡°Where¡¯s Young Master Xin?¡±

    ¡°He ran off!¡± replied Qin Feng.

    The manager couldn¡¯t understand why the young master would do such a thing. Though, it did not take long for him toe up with a usible exnation using his imagination. ¡°Is it because of your crappy stats? You¡¯re scared out of your wits right now, I presume? I bet you pulled out of the fight with Young Master Xin at thest minute.¡±

    ¡°Hoho!¡±

    Qin Feng ignored the manager¡¯s disrespectful words. Since he was already here, why not fight a few matches before leaving?

    Qin Feng had been running short on liquid assets recently, so with his abilities, he should be able to get a sizable amount of reward by the end of the day.

    With this in mind, Qin Feng submitted his application.

    Ding-Dong!

    [Your battle number has been logged into thebat pit. Currently selecting an opponent fighter!]

    Since the manager hadpleted the arrangements for their match, an empty stage had been reserved and was ready to be used. Coincidentally, an opponent was matched with Qin Feng not too long after he put forth his submission for a new match.

    [Your ss is F6-tier. Ability rating, Hero-ss. Your opponent is also an F6-tier participant with four consecutive wins. Your enemy¡¯s battle number is XXXX. Each victory will grant you 1 point. Reward for the first match is set at 5,000 yuan. Your assigned stage, number three!]

    The reward was mediocre. In fact, it might even result in a loss for Qin Feng. He still had to pay for upying the stage. No matter how long or how short their match was, the participants still had to fork out 10,000 yuan for using it.

    Even if Qin Feng were to win the match, he would face a loss of 5,000 yuan.

    Leaving the great hall, Qin Feng, with Bai Li trailing behind, walked over to stage number three. Perhaps because of the special treatment of Xin Jiasheng by the manager, the first ten stages were the type that was twenty meters wide.

    Qin Feng did not have to wait long for his opponent to arrive.

    He was a burly-looking man with a grim look on his face. Clutched in his veiny hand was a giant axe that shone with a purple hue under the arena¡¯s lighting.

    Just a nce was enough for Qin Feng to deduce that his opponent was an ancient warrior who engaged in parallel training.

    However, his opponent¡¯s raw strength remained unknown. Still, Qin Feng took note of the fact that the man already had four consecutive wins under his belt. One more victory and he would be able to challenge higher tier fighters and thus, reap greater rewards!

    Too bad, his opponent of today was Qin Feng.

    ¡°Engaging!¡±

    ¡°After you!¡±

    Qin Feng unveiled his own blend of ancient warriorbat tactics.

    With just a few swift steps, he dodged a wide-arcing attack of his opponent.

    Qin Feng¡¯s speed in the ring was exceptional, owing to his absorption ability, which boosted all of his stats equally.

    Dodging the attack, Qin Feng went straight for his opponent¡¯s exposed sides.

    Raising his hand, a fist then travelled through the air with such speed that a sonic boom could be heard as it barrelled toward the opponent¡¯s waist.

    The sudden attack startled the man, who underestimated how nimble of a fighter Qin Feng was. He quickly withdrew his arm and, drawing out his internal strength, he focused on increasing his own speed. In just a split-second, the face of his giant axe came down to block the attack.

    ng!

    The axe that was struck by Qin Feng¡¯s fist rang out like a metallic drum. The formidable internal strength of both fighters shed, resulting in ripples forming around the area of impact.

    The burly man could physically feel a massive wave of energy surge into him through his axe, almost overwhelming him. His hands, which could not withstand the entire force from the impact tossed aside the axe.

    ¡°Such a powerful force!¡±

    ¡°C¡¯mon, let¡¯s go again!¡± Qin Feng said with a slight grin.

    After crushing a series of rookies for the past few days, he had finally stumbled upon an opponent that could take all of his force, an opponent that was worthy of his powers. The opponent, Qin Feng, started releasing, bit by bit, the powers contained within his body.

    He was desperately thirsting for some exercise to warm-up his body.

    It soon became clear after the battle had started, that the match was entirely a one-sided fight. Qin Feng threw ten or more punches, all of which were taken without resistance by the man.

    Qin Feng had not even reached twenty moves when the man was beaten out of breath.

    ¡°I give up!¡± He shouted.

    He knew that Qin Feng held back his punches. If not for that, he would have been dead after the first blow. Still, if he had allowed the match to continue, even the softened blows could result in internal injuries that might potentially cause his death.

    As such, it was a wise choice to tap out. The man could only take this loss as a sign of him having a bad day.

    [Congrattions on your victory. You can pay ten thousand yuan to continue reserving this stage for the next thirty minutes. Would you like to continue with a new fighter?]

    Without any hesitation, Qin Feng epted.

    Ding-Dong!

    [Your battle number has been logged into thebat pit. Currently selecting an opponent fighter!]

    Although thebat pit was a popr spot in Chengyang, it did not mean that anyone on the streets was eligible to participate in fights at the arena. Qin Feng still had to wait for an opponent that possessed strength that was on par with his.

    It was then that the manager¡¯s call got through to Xin Jiasheng.

    ¡°Young Master Xin, the brat that you wanted to teach a lesson to is now on stage. Would you like me to teach him a lesson?¡±

    As the manager was not present when the incident unfolded, he thought that Qin Feng was the one who backed out of the challenge and that Young Master Xin saw no meaning in fighting such a ¡°weak¡± challenger. Now that the brat was on stage, the manager thought that this was the perfect chance to show how dedicated he was to Xin Jiasheng.

    Xin Jiasheng was already in his vehicle, ready to head home when the call came. Hearing what the manager had said, his nose wrinkled out of anger.

    He was not exactly going to walk away from the challenge and forget about the whole matter as if it did not happen. No, he was just performing a tactical retreat which would allow him time to coordinate a n using his family¡¯s power in order to fight Qin Feng from the shadows.

    It did not, however, cross his mind that Qin Feng would have the balls to not run, but stay on and fight more matches in thebat pit.

    This alone inflicted the greatest damage to Xin Jiasheng¡¯s pride.

    Within the span of a second, feelings of humiliation and rage swelled up in his heart.

    ¡®However, a new opportunity has finally presented itself!¡¯ thought Xin Jiasheng.

    ¡®Since you¡¯re so adamant on staying there, then don¡¯t even think of leaving this ce alive.¡¯

    ¡°Find someone, make sure he¡¯s dead by today! Don¡¯t let him leave the stage alive! I¡¯ming back! Arrange a private observation room for me!¡±

    ¡°No problem! Enjoy the show, Young Master Xin!¡±

    After saying that, the manager shifted his focus onto Qin Feng. A new n floated into his mind. This time, he would arrange for a higher tier fighter to face off with Qin Feng, one that was powerful enough to kill him with a single blow!

    By then, a new fighter had been selected by the system as Qin Feng¡¯s opponent. Looking up at who this opponent was, the manager¡¯s jaw dropped.

    ¡°What the hell!? Why was he matched with Zhang Tian!?¡±

    This Zhang Tian man was a freak for fighting. He was a frequent visitor of the colosseum as a participant, which was why his face was so familiar to the manager.

    However, for Qin Feng to face off with Zhang Tian, that must mean that the brat was an F6-tier aptitude user!

    ¡°This man¡¯s an F6-tier user?¡± The manager doubted his own eyes. The situation was not as simple as he had initially thought. As such, he quickly checked Qin Feng¡¯s battle number.

    From what was disyed, Qin Feng¡¯s abilities reached the tier of F6 and it did not just end there. All his stats from the machine¡¯s analysis were Hero-ss and above, which caused the manager to break out in a cold sweat.

    What was he supposed to do now?

    He had just guaranteed to Xin Jiasheng that this brat would be dead by the end of the day. He definitely did not expect Qin Feng to turn out to be such a strong fighter.

    The manager had definitely screwed up big time.

    Gritting his teeth, the manager hurriedly dialled up a handful of veteran fighters of the colosseum.

    ¡°Big K, I need you to fight a match at thebat pit. I¡¯ll make sure that you¡¯re wellpensated after this!¡±

    ¡°Door God[1], you resting today? There¡¯s this pretty good fighter that I need you to take care of!¡±

    ¡°Rat man, hurry up ande over to thebat pit!¡±

    A series of phone calls had sessfully summoned veteran fighters to the arena. Some of them liked fighting just for the sake of it while some enjoyed the challenge of triumphing over a worthy opponent.

    Only after hanging up the final phone call could the manager sigh in relief.

    [1] Door God is a reference to Menshen, divine protectors in Chinese mythology. Look it up on Wikipedia, there¡¯s a pretty interesting story behind it.

 Chapter 153 - Insane Win Streak

    <h4>Chapter 153: Insane Win Streak</h4>

    Soon, Xin Jiasheng returned to thebat arena and entered the private room. When focusing the internal force in his eyes, the wide area of the private room allowed him to see Qin Feng in the ring below.

    Of course, if someone did not want to use their internal force, there was also arge screen in the private room that allowed the user to switch to whicheverbat tform at any time.

    Qin Feng was on stage number three which was not small, and it was surrounded by quite a number of spectators. Qin Feng easily defeated his thirdpetitor, and the spectators grew ever more excited while those who were lower rank aptitude users drew close, hoping to learn somebat techniques.

    The colosseum¡¯s biggest benefit came from its expensive ticket prices, many lower rank aptitude users could usebatpetitions like these as a good learning tform.

    This was the essence of the big city.

    ¡°Three consecutive wins!¡±

    ¡°Amazing!¡±

    ¡°Those moves and reactions, that¡¯s inhuman!¡±

    ¡°His stance seems to be the Spectre Motion Steps, how is it so strong? Isn¡¯t the Spectre Motion Steps only a stance with E tier potential?¡±

    ¡°Maybe it depends on who¡¯s using it!¡±

    People were discussing amongst themselves, Qin Feng proceeded to challenge his next opponent. After facing three people, he had yet to face a strong opponent and only had been warming up.

    Within the private room, Xin Jiasheng sullenly said, ¡°These were the people you looked for, nothing as good as me! A pile of waste!¡±

    With cold sweat dripping down his forehead, the manager quickly said, ¡°Fret not Young Master Xin, even you know that this person¡¯s strength is not bad. Nobody in the same rank as him could face him, but since he¡¯s winning so easily he definitely will take the rank bypass challenge. Then, we will send someone in to stop him, this ispletely justified!¡±

    Xin Jiasheng¡¯s expression did not improve, but instead his bad mood seemed to have gotten worse!

    How could the manager not, at this time, understand that Xin Jiasheng had realized that this person was too strong so he escaped! Now that the other party was getting stronger, how could he not feel jealousy and anger?

    This really was a hot potato.

    On the third ring, Qin Feng surmounted all of the obstacles, every fightsted no longer than five minutes. The remaining two F6-tier fighters were both defeated by him!

    [Congrattions on your five match win streak, double your rewards, double your points and continue to challenge!]

    To win five matches in a row, the rewards were five thousand, ten thousand, fifteen thousand, twenty thousand and twenty five thousand. It just so happened to be a reward of one hundred thousand.

    ¡°Continue!¡± Qin Feng did not hesitate about his choice.

    At the same time, the broadcast around the arena had also garnered more publicity.

    [Dingdong! The Third Ring has achieved a five match win streak! Rank bypass challenge iing!]

    There were announcements like this everyday, but whenever there was the call for a rank bypass challenge, people would pay extra attention to it.

    The audience were attracted one after the other, checking the news update on the third ring and seeing that those defeated ones were F6 aptitude users, which made them all excited.

    Thergest form of ie for the colosseum was the tickets which were worth five thousand yuan each. It was not cheap and most of the audience were aptitude users who hade to watch and learn from the experience of their seniors.

    Now, there were more and more people spectating Qin Feng¡¯s ring and his prize money had increased tenfold.

    The sixth match started with fifty thousand, then one hundred thousand, then a hundred fifty thousand, two hundred thousand and five hundred thousand!

    [Ding Dong! Your battle serial number has been inserted into the ring...]

    After seeing that Qin Feng was continuing on with the challenge, the manager was extremely excited.

    ¡°Big K! Get him!¡±

    The manager had already made preparations and rigged the battle serial number to match the new challenger¡¯s serial number.

    Qin Feng very quickly weed his new opponent.

    ¡°Boy! Prepare to die!¡± This person¡¯s attacks were fierce. It was as if he really did want to kill Qin Feng as the battle started to get intense.

    Qin Feng also got pretty angry, ¡°It seems that you really do want to kill me.¡± He let out a frostyugh as he approached his opponent while using a voice that only the two of them could hear.

    Big K grinned. ¡°Who asked you to offend someone you should not have offended?¡±

    Qin Feng was enlightened by his words. He seemed to be Xin Jiasheng¡¯s people.

    Perfect timing. At that moment, Qin Feng gave the man a smile.

    In Big K¡¯s eyes, that smile made his heart get this weird feeling and a chill ran down his spine. It was as if he was being stared down by a massive feral beast.

    ¡°Murderer, murderers will be killed!¡± Qin Feng violently struck out.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Before, Qin Feng had been holding back, he did not want to use Asteroid Assimtion but since this person wanted to kill him, Qin Feng decided that he was going to be merciless.

    The move burst out, and arge wave of absorption power came out from Qin Feng¡¯s hands, pulling at Big K¡¯s body, making the man feel as if he was getting electrocuted, trembling and shaking with no power to resist against it at all.

    His internal force was under the control of Asteroid Assimtion, and his limbs could not be controlled, only bending to the other¡¯s will.

    ¡°Argh!¡± Big K screamed in horror, his internal force had been drained away! It was toote!

    Qin Feng relentlessly absorbed the other party¡¯s internal force, the F7-tier Big K had seven groups of internal force mist and each one was very solid!

    This kind of solid energy also allowed Qin Feng¡¯s own force mist to increase rapidly.

    ¡°Repulsion!¡±

    After the absorption waspleted, Qin Feng did not hold back and killed Big K.

    ¡°Puh!¡± Big K spat out a bit of blood, let out a gasp and copsed onto the ground looking very much dead. The attendants around the ring quickly rushed up to drag Big K¡¯s body off the ring.

    In the private room, both the manager and Xin Jiasheng felt a chill run down their spines and a cold hand grasping their hearts.

    Qin Feng continued the challenge.

    Sixth match, win!

    Seventh match, win!

    ***

    Tenth match, win!

    All the matches were won by Qin Feng. Among them, Qin Feng wouldpare notes and battle tactics with those randomly matched against him, but once he learned that someone had entered with the intent of killing him, he would not hold back.

    Therefore, everyone that the manager dispatched to kill Qin Feng were all killed by their target!

    ¡°Find someone else!¡± Xin Jiasheng said with a fierce expression. Qin Feng¡¯s strength made Xin Jiasheng extremely wary. Such a force was to be reckoned with and should be smothered early before it could cause future problems.

    ¡°Yes, yes!¡± The manager wiped sweat off his face and found another group of people. This time they were F8-tierbatants.

    Actually, within the colosseum, there were not that many people like that. Only with the manager and Xin Jiasheng¡¯s intervention, Qin Feng¡¯s battles kept on going.

    After killing several people, Qin Feng¡¯s body was full of internal force. His opponents¡¯ energy was all absorbed away by his ability, recovering his body to a state of full strength and not feeling even the tiniest bit of exhaustion!

    The eleventh match!

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was like that of a beast king¡¯s, his internal strength was invincible and four times stronger than the average F9-tier aptitude user. It was just that mechanical estimation had its limits, Qin Feng¡¯s invincibility was not just within the F6-tier. F8-tier challengers were no match against him.

    While his opponents were indeed getting stronger and stronger, Qin Feng seemed to be getting more and more carefree!

    ¡°Victory!¡±

    ¡°Another victory!¡±

    ¡°Fifteen consecutive wins!¡±

    The group of people spectating was pleasantly surprised. It seemed that the ticket they bought this time really was money well spent! Qin Feng¡¯s skills and resilience really astounded them!

    Now, Qin Feng¡¯s prize money had reached up to 11.1 million!

    ¡°Challenge Round 16!¡±

    This time his opponent was F9-tier. For him, there was no difference between someone in F8 or F9-tier, his opponent was taken down and killed without a moment of hesitation.

    First!

    Second!

    Third!

    Qin Feng once again won three matches in a row, advancing forward.

 Chapter 154 - The Elder of the Xin Family Makes A Move

    <h4>Chapter 154: The Elder of the Xin Family Makes A Move</h4>

    When it reached the fourth round, time dragged on but the next challenger was nowhere to be seen!

    The manager was drenched in cold sweat and looking like he was about to cry. Some of these people were gold medalists in thebat pit and some were personally invited by him.

    Unexpectedly, Qin Feng did not hold back and had managed to kill off all of them!

    His hugework of people, all of it for this Xin family, had folded in on itself! He was regretting his move.

    ¡°Young Master Xin, there¡¯s nobody left! I have... I have nobody left!¡± The manager said with a trembling voice.

    It looked as if Xia Jiasheng had gone mad.

    ¡°Elder Tao!¡± Xin Jiasheng gritted his teeth before angrily calling out.

    The manager was confused, but in the next moment, a person suddenly appeared in the private room.

    Tao Shichang, the honored elder of the Xin family, was a servant of the Xin family during his early years and was favored by the family. Now, he had gained the title of an honored elder, albeit still doing what he did when he was a servant.

    He was assigned to protect Xin Jiasheng, the most promising member of the current generation of the Xin family.

    ¡°Elder Tao! This person must not continue on!¡± Xin Jiasheng was actually fretting deep down, he was unsure if Tao Shichang would take action because of a trivial thing like this.

    However, Xin Jiasheng felt an unprecedented sense of danger. This opponent was too strong, his potential was too great.

    Seemingly indifferent, Tao Shichang who had always been in the dark, also felt the same way!

    ¡°Young Master, be rest assured. This old one will take action.¡±

    After saying that, Tao Shichang suddenly pulled a leather mask over his face, turning his face into that of a middle-aged person¡¯s. He was a senior citizen and had a special status, for him to face off against Qin Feng was too unreasonable!

    The rank-bypass challenge was not too difficult to achieve, some children of the rich families could do it. However, for the F6-tiers and other weaker tiers, three rank-bypass challenges was unheard of. Not only that, Qin Feng went through the rank-bypass challenges in one fell swoop.

    Eighteen consecutive wins was shocking enough.

    Even the top-ranking people of Chengyang City had taken notice. They were using various image projecting devices to keep track of the situation in the colosseum.

    Not only that, there were still some people trickling over to watch.

    Qin Feng had been sitting in the ring for twenty minutes, and after looking at his watch he realized that it was nearly eight o¡¯clock. He had not eaten dinner yet! If nobody were to show up, he was going to just leave.

    At that moment, a short and thin figure appeared in front of Qin Feng.

    The man had a very ordinary looking face. When thrown into a crowd, he would be easily lost. However, he had a pair of eyes that gave off a chilly aura.

    This was probably an expert killer!

    Qin Feng¡¯s face finally became serious.

    ¡°Finally, someone that looks promising!¡± Qin Feng stood up.

    ¡°Your potential is incredible, what a shame...¡± The person said, ¡°The tallest trees would be toppled by gale force winds!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled. Someone had told him something like that before. Now, he did not feel like saying anything back!

    ¡°Come at me then!¡±

    Tao Shichang nodded, and in the next moment his body became an afterimage, and what felt like a strong gust of wind suddenly appeared. With the gust of wind came the cold glint of a poniard, rapidly approaching Qin Feng¡¯s neck.

    Qin Feng was shocked, it was too fast to defend against it!

    Boom!

    A loud explosion rang out! A huge burst of me rose into the air, runes were flying about as the shockwave pushed the two apart.

    It was Qin Feng¡¯s fire ability. The Spring Hunting Ground was not without its benefits. Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness level had increased exponentially, to the point where he was able to remember every single thing he had seen. Once a power had been released by someone, as long as he could see it, he could mimic its properties and do the same.

    This move was indeed the Fire Impact ability.

    Whoosh!

    Tao Shichang was flung out, bouncing across the ring a few times before reaching the edge of the ring, avoiding the huge runes.

    There were surprised shouts from the stands!

    ¡°An ability!¡±

    ¡°How!? Isn¡¯t he an ancient warrior?¡±

    ¡°A double cultivation of ancient martial arts and abilities!¡±

    Everyone cried out in excitement. ¡°Wow, that¡¯s seriously amazing!¡±

    Tao Shichang had been following Xin Jiasheng the entire time and knew all that Qin Feng had tested. Although consciousness could also be used by gunners, to reach the level of hero-ss, that was something only ability users could achieve.

    As such, he remained guarded whenever around Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng also put on a serious expression. ¡°It seems like this time, I need to get serious!¡±

    He looked at the silver glint of his opponent¡¯s poniard and raised his hand. The Verdant Emperor Saber appeared in his hand.

    Those people before were not worthy of the Verdant Emperor Saber, but now he really did have to get serious. After all, those people fought like they were trying to take down an enemy. Tao Shichang fought like he wanted to kill.

    The situation was incredibly dangerous!

    After seeing Qin Feng pull out the Verdant Emperor Saber which looked like a simr silvery rune equipment that seemed to be giving off a faint golden light, Tao Shichang¡¯s eyes narrowed and he was more alert.

    The two of them were staring closely at one another, as if trying to find the other¡¯s ws.

    In the next moment, the two moved at the same time.

    Whizz!

    The two shed toward each other. There was no sound of weapons shing, and they both reappeared at the edge of the ring.

    Qin Feng¡¯s bangs seemed to be blown aside by his breath, lightly fluttering to the ground.

    Rip!

    There was the sound of fabric tearing and a scratch had appeared on Tao Shichang¡¯s waist. His clothes had been damaged, revealing the silver inner armor underneath, and the armor seemed to have been damaged as well.

    The corner of Tao Shichang¡¯s mouth twitched, and because of the human skin mask, the movement seemed very unnatural.

    The cheering crowd went pin-drop silent and quietly looked at the two people in the ring, feeling that the tension in the air had gotten so thick that they had to hold their breath. The murderous atmosphere made it extremely hard to breathe.

    Qin Feng carried himself even more seriously now in the ring as the twounched another assault.

    ng ng!

    The dual sounds of weapons shing reverberated throughout the pit, shing at one another as the bodies wielding them shifted and rapidly struck out.

    The two of them were getting faster and faster.

    Qin Feng felt as if his entire person was in a moment of extreme crisis, but his muscle perfection exercise allowed him to surpass his previous offensive methods and achieve one-hundred percent of hisbat ability.

    It was like dancing on the tip of the saber of death.

    Gradually, the recently learned moves of the Spectre Motion Steps became more and more familiar. Not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s body seemed to be slowly shrouded in a dark shadow, causing his aura to pulse.

    Even his murderous intent began to converge.

    Tao Shichang¡¯s pupils dted. The killer and target had suddenly swapped ces, originally he had been chasing Qin Feng but it was now Qin Feng who was chasing him. His sight could not keep up with Qin Feng¡¯s speed. The situation was getting too dangerous.

    ¡°Stab!¡±

    Tao Shichang¡¯s body was once again wounded. While the wound was not fatal, it severely damaged Tao Shichang¡¯s spine.

    With this thought, Tao Shichang suddenly became fiercer. In his other hand, a ck device was revealed.

 Chapter 155 - Victory, Next Challenge

    <h4>Chapter 155: Victory, Next Challenge</h4>

    Tao Shichang was a person that hid in the dark, assassination was his strong suit. Fighting in the ring meant that he was at a disadvantage.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t want to use this, but... there is no other way, you have to die!¡±

    Tao Shichang suddenly poured his internal force into the device, aimed it at Qin Feng and pulled the trigger.

    The moment Qin Feng saw what he was holding, his body became highly alert.

    ¡°Fescue Needles!¡±

    A concealed weapon!

    Among ancient warriors, there were some special magical armors as well as weapons that brought great harm. In particr, when these weapons were injected with internal force, the effects would be horrifying. These were all rune weapons, not something that could bepared to ordinary firearms.

    Qin Feng had been around for quite some time before his rebirth, how could he not know the power of such things.

    At the moment, the release mechanism was activated, Qin Feng called upon his consciousness. Then, a dark drizzle was sprayed toward him.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng pushed forward all of his internal energy This internal forcebined with the previous absorptions meant that its mass was at least a hundred times bigger, nine times the number of the other party¡¯s.

    ¡°Repulsion!¡±

    The huge wave of force was sent out, curling wildly toward the fescue needles.

    The tiny, hair-like needles were used to break the internal energy¡¯s protection on the body, but Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion was able to absorb existing internal force. The internal force within the needles were swept up and sent back to its sender.

    Poof poof poof!

    Tao Shichang¡¯s face was then covered in tiny red pockmarks. When he looked closely, he realized that they were pinholes made by the fescue needles.

    His aura had been extinguished, Qin Feng¡¯s absorption ability began to activate and devour the other party¡¯s internal force and strength!

    Tao Shichang died with his eyes still open!

    It was not until Tao Shichang was killed that the audience around him started to breathe heavily, as if someone had been strangling their necks.

    Qin Feng sat cross legged without hesitation in the face of many onlookers and adjusted his aura. His inner power was out of bnce, his face was pale and he seemed to have exhausted a lot of energy, his forehead was covered with sweat.

    Everyone else also thought that he had used a lot of his energy.

    In actual fact, while he had exhausted a lot of his energy, the harvest gained was even bigger. Since Qin Feng¡¯s meridians had been engulfed by the internal force he had previously absorbed, the recovery speed was extremely fast. The originally exhausted internal force was restored, with the addition of Tao Shichang¡¯s internal force, Qin Feng¡¯s dantian felt like it was boiling.

    Maybe it was when he was in G-tier, he trained himself well,bined with the forty solid mist groups from before, Qin Feng¡¯s dantian was able to keep itself stable!

    At this time the dantian was filled with mist. A quick scan and one might realize that there were now seventy four new clusters in the newly added mist group.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng called on his ability and frantically devoured the internal force. Soon, a part of the internal force expanded his meridians and the other part was returned to the dantian.

    After such a long period of use, Qin Feng knew that after each absorption the return was about a quarter or a third. This time the weakest challengers were still elite F-tier ancient warriors. The internal force that was returned was more than thirty clusters.

    The internal force of a standard F-tier in their peak was only ten clusters. Qin Feng¡¯s was now seven times that!

    Not only that, with so many people in, especially Tao Shichang being thest one, Qin Feng¡¯s body had also begun to experience changes.

    ¡°F7 tier!¡±

    The audience erupted into uproarious apuse and cheering.

    An on-spot tier-up! Everyone that was around were extremely impressed!

    While it seemed that it was easy for Qin Feng, in the eyes of the others it was an extremely difficult task.

    Moreover, every step of the climb took time and effort, unlike Qin Feng, who, within a few hours ofbat matches, had tiered-up in one fell swoop!

    Of course, the tier-up would not affect Qin Feng¡¯s winning streak or raise the requirements. ording to the rules of thebat pit, Qin Feng could even take a day off after five matches and then continue the next time. As such, being able to tier up within a week was normal, otherwise having to fight fifteen people in a row would be extremely exhausting.

    Qin Feng exhaled. He opened his eyes, the surrounding audience watched him with eager faces as if waiting for him to continue on with the next challenge.

    What they did not know was that in that period of time, there was a hidden silver light floating around the area. Bai Li had created a space around Qin Feng that separated him from his surroundings, if anyone were to enter that space they would be decimated.

    It was a good thing nobody approached him.

    ¡°Will he continue?¡± Everyone was asking the same question deep down.

    It was at this time that Qin Feng¡¯smunicator made a beeping notification noise.

    [Serial number XXXX challenges you! Rank: F9, can be added to win streak!]

    At this time, a figure was already standing at the side of the ring.

    ¡°Qin Feng, how are you? I¡¯m Cheng Zhou, an ability user. I was wondering if I could spar with you? Of course, I will try my best to interrupt your streak. I hope you would not mind!¡±

    The voice of the person beside the ring naturally came into Qin Feng¡¯s ear. He looked to the side at the other person, realizing that this person¡¯s aura was slightly cold, the way he spoke was also very stiff and his pupils were a dark-iron like color.

    Not waiting for Qin Feng¡¯s reaction, the people around suddenly screamed.

    ¡°Cheng Zhou!¡±

    ¡°The Cheng family¡¯s youngest generation prodigy!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s already reached F9-tier at twenty years of age!¡±

    An ability user who was on the cusp of bing E tier.

    It was known thatbat was usually carried out among ancient warriors. The number of ability users was low and they were a rare breed. They were also not good at close quartersbat skills.

    Gunners facing off against each other would also use a lot of bullets, and their battles were too destructive. This requiredrge venues as the local tyrants liked to y sniper, but it was all for entertainment. In the words of the poor, it was like using money to light fireworks.

    As such, gunners were banned frombat pits and ability users would not participate in them. It was just that Qin Feng¡¯s eighteen consecutive victories had caused a stir in Chengyang City. Of course, after killing Tao Shichang, it was already neen!

    After seeing Qin Feng release his ability, Cheng Zhou wanted topete with him.

    Qin Feng also understood the meaning behind Cheng Zhou¡¯s eyes. This person probably was not sent by Xin Jiasheng to embarrass him. If so, then Cheng Zhou could directly match up with him whenever he wanted to.

    Thinking of this, Qin Feng simply nodded.

    ¡°Sure!¡± Qin Feng pressed the ¡®Confirm¡¯ button on hismunicator. Cheng Zhou, outside the tform, finally had the right to step into the ring!

    ¡°I will apply for a venue, a ce like this is too small for us!¡± Cheng Zhou said.

    Qin Feng also had no objection.

    Qin Feng¡¯s effective range was within three hundred meters, meaning that Qin Feng¡¯s abilities could be extended to that far of a range!

    In the beginning, he could only use his Hellfire Carpet to cover a small street, which was spectacr enough. Now, what he could do was three times that of a school¡¯s track-and-field runway!

    The two ability users¡¯ attacks would not be intentionally huge and exhaustive, which was a wasteful use of their consciousness, but it was definitely not something the currentbat pit could amodate!

 Chapter 156 - Versus Cheng Zhou

    <h4>Chapter 156: Versus Cheng Zhou</h4>

    The audience in the stands felt a slight quake and the stands began to recede back. Steel tes on the groundyered on top of each other as the ring quickly expanded by an extra one hundred meters.

    The battles on the other rings had already stopped, everyone¡¯s eyes now fell on the two of them in the ring.

    Nobody had expected to see a battle between two big shot ability users.

    In the private room, Xin Jiasheng saw that Cheng Zhou had stepped into the ring and his face became pale. Tao Shichang was dead, Xin Jiasheng was already at a loss for words, and now Cheng Zhou had arrived.

    Qin Feng looked like an arrow at the end of its flight, at least to everyone that was watching.

    Cheng Zhou would definitely win. After all, he also had a Hero-ss consciousness. He was a true genius among the four major families. Younger and stronger than Xin Jiasheng. How could something like this not make him ufortable?

    Now, even if Cheng Zhou were to defeat Qin Feng, Xin Jiasheng would not be happy. This would be Cheng Zhou¡¯s prestige and it would have nothing to do with Xin Jiasheng making his reappearance!

    No matter what, Xin Jiasheng felt suffocated, even with the wide ring, the distance between Qin Feng and Xin Jiasheng was incredibly short.

    ¡°It would be best to give me your all. Of course, I hope that you will use your abilities to face off with mine, I¡¯m pretty sure yours are not weak!¡± Cheng Zhou said as arge glove appeared beside him.

    The gloves could almost wrap around the entire arm. Under the control of his consciousness, it levitated in the air. After Cheng Zhou put on the glove, the red crystal on the back of his hand shimmered with a ray of light.

    Metal rune!

    F9 Steel Torrent, a silver light rune equipment.

    Qin Feng sheathed his de, hanging the Verdant Emperor Saber at his waist. ¡°You have a metal based ability, in this case, you might lose!¡± Qin Feng said, raising his hand to summon the Scarlet Fire w!

    Easier said than done, in reality, Qin Feng had to stay vignt. Ability users hardly dueled, their destructive powers were terrifying, one false move or a misstep and the results could be yards of devastation.

    Qin Feng equipped the Scarlet Fire w on his left arm and his entire body ignited with mes.

    Cheng Zhou seemed to be well-informed.

    ¡°Your me seems to be a mutated version. In that case, it is indeed stronger. Still, my strength is stronger than yours so we¡¯re evenly matched!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, and since the other party did not mind, the battle could begin!

    Both of them immediately backed away from one another, jumping back about fifty meters. With the confirmation that the battle had started, the two of them raised their hands.

    Fire runes and steel runes lept from their arms and began to condense. The shimmering images were more than three meters high!

    ¡°Steel Cannon!¡±

    ck steel quickly condensed and was shot at in Qin Feng¡¯s direction.

    ¡°Fire Impact!¡±

    Arge burst of mes exploded from Qin Feng¡¯s hand, forming a straight line of fire.

    The attacks collided against one another with a loud bang. Looking closely it seemed that the two abilities wereparable in strength.

    Sparks floated down to the ground, burning the steel and the ground was sshed withyers of molten metal.

    ¡°Condense. spear!¡± Cheng Zhou¡¯s consciousness shifted, and so did the molten steel on the ground as it rushed toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng took a step and instantly hopped in another direction. Therge, roaring Steel Cannon was like a massive dragon snaking its way toward him. Not only that, the spear that was made out of molten metal was nailed where Qin Feng originally stood.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    To not reciprocate was against etiquette, Qin Feng sent a wave of hellfire rushing toward Cheng Zhou.

    The hellfire¡¯s area of effect was very big, Cheng Zhou wanted to dash out but he would end up eating a full brunt of the attack. The ability user¡¯s body was weak, so that meant that he would definitely get injured.

    Cheng Zhou was a genius ability user, maybe it was because of age, or strength, orbat experience, he thought of a way in an instant, pressing his hands to the ground.

    Suddenly, an iron pir erupted from the ground, shielding him from the fire attack.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was also very fast, as the me wrapped around the pir like it was arge fire snake, rushing toward Cheng Zhou as if trying to swallow him in a single bite

    ¡°Condense!¡±

    Cheng Zhou quickly formed a meter long metal disc near him and stepped on it, he swiftly evaded the attack with the flight of the disc!

    Qin Feng let out augh as his consciousness surged. There was an ability that allowed gunners and ability users to snatch objects out of the air so the ability users could control anything that was in flight, even people.

    The fatal w was that if the opponent¡¯s consciousness was higher than his own, he would be robbed of the control over the object.

    Just like the time when the four major universities were fighting over the conscious fruits, no one could be his opponent.

    Cheng Zhou knew that Qin Feng was strong but he thought that Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness would not be able to match his own, which was why he flew up.

    But was Qin Feng really unable to match that?

    Cheng Zhou¡¯s consciousness may be of the Hero-ss, Qin Feng¡¯s talent potential was already at the SS tier, and was able to have more acute control.

    ¡°Fall!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness struck out, instantly striking that metal disc.

    Cheng Zhou was stunned and rolled off. Fortunately, he was only two meters above the ground, and he even rolled to break his fall so that he would not suffer much damage.

    He had also left the effective range of the Hellfire Carpet!

    ¡°Copper Wall, Iron Bastion!¡±

    With one wave of Cheng Zhou¡¯s hand, a two meter high wall was erected in front of him, and at this time Qin Feng happened to send out his fire beam. The beam impacted against the wall and if Cheng Zhou had done it any secondter he would have been hit!

    ¡°Such a pity!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled, he did not mind much. He could see Cheng Zhou¡¯s position clearly because of his perception and the mes condensed again!

    In an instant, the mes fell from the sky and surrounded Cheng Zhou!

    Cheng Zhou raised his hand, and the previous steel wall immediately extended horizontally over him to intercept the fire above his head.

    This time Cheng Zhou waspletely safe, but he also felt like a tortoise retreating into his shell.

    The battle of ability users was a dazzling mess for the eyes, but it was a dazzle that you could not peel your eyes away from. Not only that, the battle confirmed one thing. The lethality of the ability users was tremendous, one man who could take a hundred was not an exaggeration.

    From the beginning, the battle between the two people only had Cheng Zhou attacking once and was forced into retreat by Qin Feng. There were only so many avable runes, before mobilizing them again they would have to take their runes back, thenunch another assault. Things like this took time.

    However, those with many runes in their hands could unleash tens of abilities and had no need to recycle them, making it difficult for people to fight back.

    The battle had only gone on for ten minutes. Even people who did not understand could see the difference between the two.

    ¡°Qin Feng is actually pushing Cheng Zhou back!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s got more runes that Cheng Zhou!¡±

    ¡°How can this be?!¡±

    They could not believe what they were seeing. With how talented Cheng Zhou was, who would have expected such a twist?

    The battle raged on and both of them had reached the battle¡¯s climax but Cheng Zhou¡¯s forehead had begun to sweat.

    He had expended too much energy.

 Chapter 157 - I Only Need One Cut To End You

    <h4>Chapter 157: I Only Need One Cut To End You</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s face had also turned a little pale but there was still energy left in him. It was entirely possible that the other party¡¯s abilities could be avoided with the use of ancient martial arts. Before fighting, Qin Feng did not exactly promise that he would not use some ancient martial arts at all, otherwise, he would have had a lot of chances to defeat his opponent!

    ¡°Huff!¡± Cheng Zhou suddenly called back his consciousness and his ability had even stopped moving!

    ¡°I admit defeat!¡± Cheng Zhou said, leaving everyone bewildered.

    Admit defeat?

    Qin Feng had already expected this. If they were to continue fighting, Cheng Zhou would have had to pull out his trump card but since there were too many people around them, he did not want to do that. There was no grudge between the two so there was no reason to fight to the death.

    ¡°I ept your admission to defeat!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°I hope there will be a chance in the future where we can learn from each other again!¡± Cheng Zhou went over, taking off his rune equipment and reaching out to shake hands with Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s right hand was not wearing any rune equipment, he directly extended his hand and shook hands with the other party. ¡°It would be my pleasure!¡±

    The two of them had smiles on their faces, battle was one way of getting to know each other!

    Cheng Zhou confirmed his failure on hismunicator, then he exchangedmunication numbers with Qin Feng.

    At the same time, a loud voice was broadcasted in their surroundings.

    [Ding Dong! Ring No. 3 achieved 20 consecutive victories! ]

    During the broadcast, there was a cheerful sound effect as well.

    Qin Feng had actually won twenty matches in the blink of an eye! After having followed him closely for so long, the crowd of onlookers gave him a standing ovation. The battle really was fantastic.

    Not only that, they felt as if they had witnessed the birth of a miracle.

    Twenty matches in a row. In this colosseum, this rarely ever happened!

    Qin Feng became famous after his first battles.

    [Do you wish to continue?]

    Qin Feng raised his hand to choose ¡®No¡¯. After all, if he were to challenge again, he would have to face off against an E-tier aptitude user. Even if that were possible, no E-tier aptitude user would show up in thisbat pit right now!

    It was at this time that a group of people began to rudely shove through the crowd until they had reached the edge of the ring. Not only that, they even began to surround it.

    These were all F-tier ability users! They were being led by an E-tier ancient warrior but Qin Feng did not recognize the person, he did notice that the other person next to the E-tier was none other than Xin Jiasheng.

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows.

    ¡°Qin Feng, the head of Fengli colony?¡± The E-tier person said, looking directly at Qin Feng with fierce eyes.

    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you introduce yourself first before asking people their names?¡± Qin Feng asked coldly.

    The man suddenly sneered, ¡°Looks like I¡¯m talking to a vige idiot. There aren¡¯t a lot of people in Chengyang City who don¡¯t know who I am!¡±

    At this time, the manager of thebat pit looked at Qin Feng with a fearful gaze that had a trace of anger. After all, Qin Feng had killed many of his men and severed the connections he so painstakingly built up, how could he not be angry?

    ¡°Qin Feng, this is Xin Guang, the sixth son of the Xin family in Chengyang!¡±

    ¡°Oh!¡± Qin Feng nodded, then said, ¡°Nope, no idea who that is!¡±

    Of course, Qin Feng did not know him, and before his rebirth, Qin Feng¡¯s path was not in Chengyang City. During that time, Chengyang was just a small city. The ups and downs here did not have much to do with him, there was no mention of a Xin family in the previous world either.

    Even if he ranked sixth in the family he was nothing more than Xin Jiasheng¡¯s uncle, and he did not seem to have any title nor hold any sort of power within the city.

    They had done some digging on Qin Feng¡¯s background. The Xin family was a brainy bunch, they would not send anyone with real power over, otherwise it would turn into a scandal. Qin Feng, being the mayor of his colony, was acknowledged by the mayor of Chengyang after all!

    Xin Guang was indeed not a famous person. He was said to be the Sixth Lord, but that was just a respectable title. His strength was marked as the sixth in the Xin family but he was not part of the main one. He had no power, and had to do all of the hard and dirty work that fell on him. He was instead infamous!

    The death of Tao Shichang, a F9-tier aptitude user, was a huge deal for the Xin family. Even if the general public did not know who Tao Shichang was, that did not mean that the family did not.

    If such a thing were not handled and their honor not protected, then would that not mean that any random ruffian from the streets would be able to bully the Xin family?

    Qin Feng had to be killed. The chicken must be killed to warn the monkeys* so that the rest would remember the prestige of the Xin family.

    It was just that none of them had expected Qin Feng to respond the way he did.

    ¡°You are just the mayor of an up anding colony, and yet you dare diss the Xin family. If I don¡¯t teach you a lesson, that would mean disregarding the prestige of the Xin family.¡± Xin Guang¡¯s eyes exuded a strong murderous intent.

    Qin Feng then understood that this person was here for revenge for the other person that had the fescue needles!

    ¡°The prestige of the Xin family has nothing to do with me. If I don¡¯t recognize you that means that I don¡¯t give a damn. What great honor your family has.¡±

    The others in the audience were dead silent but they thought that Qin Feng was not wrong.

    In fact, the Xin family gave people the feeling that they were too domineering.

    ¡°You know what I mean!¡± Xin Guang said with a growl. Of course, he could not say that the person that had been killed was a part of his family, if not they would be a joke to the people around them.

    ¡°What do I know? Your young master acted obscenely toward my girlfriend, challenged me in thebat pit, ran away with his tail between his legs, and then sent arge group of people here to try and kill me. I don¡¯t know anything!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at Xin Jiasheng with a disdainful look.

    Xin Jiasheng looked flushed, but he was furious now.

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t be so smug. Didn¡¯t you want to fight in thebat pit? You can keep going, my sixth uncle will fight you. I wanna see if you have the stuffing for it or not!¡±

    ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m tired, but if you still want to fight, please be early tomorrow!¡± Qin Feng said as he wanted to step off the ring.

    Yet in the next moment, the light dome on the ring was removed for a split second and Xin Guang leapt into the ring! Obviously this was the handiwork of the manager!

    ¡°You think you have a say in this?¡± Xin Guang sneered.

    Qin Feng was expressionless, but everyone close to him knew that he was extremely angry. He turned on hismunicator and chose to continue the challenge.

    ¡°Alright, perfect timing too, one more challenge and I¡¯d get to go home with 100 million!¡± In fact, after twenty consecutive wins, Qin Feng¡¯s prize money was 111.1 million!

    The twenty-first round began with 100 million and after five rounds it went up to 1 billion! It was just that there were not many people that had managed to reach this far before, especially when one had to jump over such a big hurdle!

    ¡°Oh?¡± Xin Guang let out a frostyugh, ¡°Do you really think that you can still win?¡±

    Qin Feng replied, ¡°It¡¯s my business whether I win or not. You can challenge me, otherwise I can cancel my fight with you. I am the head of a district and I don¡¯t like dealing with unknown people!¡±

    Xin Guang was suddenly flushed with anger. What Xin Guang said before had only been smack talk. He did not have special treatment for others and did not care much about someone like Qin Feng.

    Now, he was actually truly angry!

    Xin Guang quickly grabbed hismunicator and punched in his serial number to enter the ranks of the challenge.

    Qin Feng heard the prompt and grabbed the Verdant Emperor Saber to unsheathe it.

    ¡°I only need one cut to end you!¡±

    *Trantor¡¯s Note: This is a Chinese idiom (É±¼¦ÙÓºï) used to describe ¡®to punish an individual as an example to others¡¯, the saying in English would have been derived from the French saying ¡®pour encourager les autres¡¯

 Chapter 158 - The Almighty Blaze

    <h4>Chapter 158: The Almighty ze</h4>

    Xin Guangughed sardonically. He reckoned Qin Feng was only bragging but thetter had swiftly unsheathed his saber.

    Qin Feng¡¯s motion was nothing spectacr but the saber was overflowing with internal power. An unseen force of conscious energy had quietly locked on Xin Guang.

    In the next instance, blinding radiance emanated vibrantly from Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The fire from the saber soared to the sky ceaselessly.

    Sky Burning Sword Style¡ªzing Sky!

    The me escted by more than twenty meters. The suffocating auraing from the sword style shrouded the entire arena.

    The heat from the me struck the audience without any reserve. Even the audience could clearly sense the killing intent hidden within this looming strike.

    It terrified them greatly. None of the audience dared to move an inch closer as the scorching me might incinerate them instantly.

    Qin Feng did not hold back on this one.

    He came to the arena because he wanted to do so but he could not tolerate being cornered like this.

    ¡°It disgusts me the most when I am being forced to do something against my free will!¡±

    It was just like when he was saving people during the Han Town tragedy. He could be ruthless when it came to people that were not worth saving.

    This guy was asking for it. He had had enough tonight but these people just would not let him be.

    zing Sky was an otherworldly skill that demanded a lot of energy. Its power was enough to exterminate an F-tier beast king.

    Inparison, an E-tier aptitude user might not necessarily be able to defeat a beast king single-handedly.

    Thus, it was not difficult to guess the oue of Xin Guang after he was hit directly by the zing Sky.

    As the me slowly dispersed, grey ashes seemed to be carried upward by the dissipating heatwave. The crowd soon realized what had happened when they saw that Qin Feng was alone on the battle stage.

    Those ashes were Xin Guang!

    Just like Qin Feng had imed, he only needed a single strike!

    ¡°Anyone else?¡± Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and looked imposingly toward the crowd.

    None of them dared to meet his eyes.

    Even Xin Jiasheng was trembling as he looked at Qin Feng in horror. He cowardly bowed down his head when Qin Feng turned toward him.

    Qin Feng sneered. ¡®No one else?¡¯ He walked down the stage and ended the challenge. His bank credit instantly increased by 200 million.

    ¡°Alright. I got my twenty straight wins. I believe the points I have collected are enough to exchange for an E-tier beast king core, right?!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze fell on the perspiring manager.

    The manager almost stumbled. His mouth was twitching as he answered reluctantly, ¡°Ye... Yes, you may.¡±

    ¡°Then get me one. Remember, fire-type,¡± Qin Fengmanded.

    ¡°Yes, mister. As you wish. Pleasee this way.¡±

    After Qin Feng left the scene, the crowd slowly recollected themselves from the startling encounter. Lingering terror could be seen in most of their eyes.

    They had gathered to watch Qin Feng because he was currently owning a colony.

    The colony, despite still being small in scale, was a gold mine with great mary potential due to its proximity to Chengyang City.

    It was not surprising for an F-tier colony leader to die identally in this tumultuous era.

    But now they know that it would never happen to Qin Feng. No chance at all.

    Qin Feng was capable of instantly killing an E-tier aptitude user. Such terrifying strength!

    Qin Feng left immediately after he collected the money and the most valuable piece, an E-tier beast king energy core owned by the arena.

    He knew he was being followed by two men after he had left the arena. However, they did not say anything and showed no hostility. Even so, Qin Feng did not like being followed.

    He did not mind killing a few more daredevils. He actually admired their courage to still do this after he had demonstrated what he was capable of.

    Qing Feng held Bai Li¡¯s waist and boarded the hovercar with her. He did not start the engine immediately.

    After a while, the stalkers hesitated and walked toward the car.

    They were wearing the uniform of the patrol unit. One of them knocked on the window.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, this is your first time here in Chengyang. To ensure your safety, I and my partner will be your guide in your subsequent tour around the city. Is that okay with you?¡±

    Qin Feng nced at them. Apparently, the superiors of Chengyang had noticed him.

    Nheless, he weed such an arrangement. There was not much bureaucracy left in the authorities after doomsday had taken ce. After all, the position you were holding today could easily be reced by a stronger candidate at any moment. The limited resources in today¡¯s world would always go to the one with the bigger fist.

    The two members from the patrol unit were not exactly here only as Qin Feng¡¯s guide. They were more like pacifiers.

    First and foremost, they were around to protect Qin Feng from being harassed. At the same time, they were also tasked to keep an eye on Qin Feng so he would not go killing randomly again. Lastly, they were there to warn the Xin family that had offended Qin Feng not to do anything reckless.

    It was killing three birds with one stone!

    Qin Feng had no reason to reject it.

    ¡°Alright. First, lead me to the marketce under the Wanzong Organization.¡±

    ¡°Sure.¡±

    They reached the marketce faster than expected being convoyed by the patrol unit. Qin Feng contacted Sun Yu and asked him to rmend a manager from the auction house.

    Sun Yu was pleased to help but at the same time, he was a little dejected. The shops in Chengbei were too small for Qin Feng after all. Qin Feng¡¯s power had grown exponentially by the days and the items inside Chengbei could no longer satiate his appetite.

    On the 25th floor of Wanzong auction house.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, wee. My name is An Zhengwei. I am happy to be at your service.¡±

    ¡°Good day, Mr. An.¡±

    Qin Feng shook hands with the middle-aged man while the patrol unit members stood guard outside. It was a private conversation and Qin Feng did not wish to be overheard. He went straight to the point and made his request, ¡°I have some materials to let go and would like to order a few types of equipment.¡±

    ¡°Let us go through the materials for your equipment first. I heard that Mr. Qin has gathered a lot of materials from Han Town during yourst trip. It will take us some time to check all of them. Thus, I suggest we start with those for your equipment so that it could be processed and delivered to you as soon as possible.¡±

    Qin Feng smiled and was amazed by Wanzong¡¯s intelwork. He dyed no further and nodded to Bai Li. She proceeded to take out the packed materials. It was the Steel Broodmother¡¯s eight giant legs and its silk sac.

    Everything found in and out of the Broodmother was valuable materials, including its blood. But Qin Feng did not want to attract too much attention, thus he burned away everything.

    Nevertheless, the size and abundance of the remaining materials collected by Qin Feng were still pretty astonishing.

    ¡°Steel legs from the Broodmother, and the silk sac!¡± The manager was obviously amazed.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°The steel legs are to be melted and mended into armor. For the silk sac, please use it to make a gun. Please knit the remaining silk into a dress. Here are the designs for the dress.¡±

    A white color frock appeared on Qin Feng¡¯smunicator. It had nothing to do with battle but it looked gorgeous. The dress would be even more stunning after being decorated by the silver silk.

    Qin Feng wanted to give it to Bai Li. He not only wanted Bai Li to wear a human gown but also nned to let her obtain tier certification since she was no different from a human now.

 Chapter 159 - Xiao Baiâ€™s Promotion

    <h4>Chapter 159: Xiao Bai¡¯s Promotion</h4>

    Still, the making of battle costumes for Xiao Bai came first.

    Though An Zhengwei was taken aback by Qin Feng¡¯s decision to waste the valuable materials on the gown, he abided by the customer¡¯s desire. This was not the first time he had seen a man spending generously to please hisdy.

    They finalized the design of the remaining equipment and moved on to other materials Qin Feng wished toy off. The variety of cores and materials Qin Feng had collected from Han Town were valued at 300 million per market price.

    ¡°After deducting the 100 million expense on equipment production, you may opt to use the rest on F-tier beast king cores.¡±

    On top of that, Qin Feng added another 200 million to purchase a total of six beast king cores.

    ¡°Prioritize my order. I wish to see it done within two days.¡±

    ¡°Please don¡¯t worry. We will have our best smith on it. It will be perfected in no time.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and left the auction house very much satisfied.

    In the next two days, Qin Feng and Bai Li did not take another step outside of their hotel room. They did not even go out for meals and ordered food through room service.

    All the F-tier cores had been given to Bai Li while Qin Feng saved the E-tier core for himself. He won it from the arena.

    Absorb!

    Qin Feng gripped the crystal core tightly and energy within the core flowed into Qin Feng rapidly.

    Cores would usually disappear instantly as soon as Qin Feng had triggered his ability. But this time the core shrunk at an observable speed. The mass runes merged steadily with Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm.

    Qin Feng was prepared for it and hastily fused the iing rune into his gem of darkness.

    The gem promptly stained the runes and transformed them into mutated Hellfire. Those were then imprinted on Qin Feng¡¯s own diamond core.

    The influx of runes created radiating stripes on the core. The entire processsted until Qin Feng had absorbed about a hundred thousand fire runes. Throughout the process, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was also strengthened continuously by the iing energy.

    His conscious energy had made a huge leap thanks to the E-tier beast king core. He reached the next stage with ease.

    F7 tier, then transitioned smoothly to F8. Without any dy, it burst right through the F9-tier barrier.

    It stopped right in front of the E-tier gate. His journey to Chengyang and the battle experience he gained through the Spring Hunting Ground had no doubt elerated his conscious energy way past his physical strength.

    Bai Li had assimted three beast king cores by the time Qin Feng arose from his meditation. He stopped her from feasting on the rest. He would not forget the overpowering aura she released when she first attained the F-tier status. It was best not to alert anyone while they were still here in Chengyang.

    Two dayster, the Wanzong organization had delivered the equipment as promised.

    Qin Feng had tailored made himself a battle suit. It was silver in color and looked no different from a normal outfit. However, it would only deceive the eyes of a low-ranked monster. An aptitude user or an intelligent beast could instantly tell how luxurious the suit was with the number of runes emanating from it.

    The suit came in a full set epassing the shirt, gloves, belt, pants, and boots.

    Runic equipment were usually made in the form of inner wears like vests or leggings¡ªapromise between maximum protection and least material usage. However, since Qin Feng had more than enough to spare, he converted them into aplete battle suit. Moreover, there were two extra inner vests, which Qin Feng intended to give to Zhou Hao and Wang Chen.

    Wang Chen was no doubt amendable subordinate.

    Qin Feng nned to mold him into one of the major leaders of Fengli in the future. He envisioned that he would at least be a general.

    Qin Feng finally decided to leave Chengyang after he had spent thest two days being confined in the hotel room. The two patrols that followed him were equally excited too. Qin Feng¡¯s departure meant that they had aplished their mission. There was too much uncertainty in guarding Qin Feng. Anything could have happened if Qin Feng were to suddenly act out of the blue, or those from the Xin family were toe to take revenge.

    The hovercar left the city and went up the highway quickly. After Chengyang city was out of sight, Qin Feng took a sharp turn and disappeared into the woods.

    Dark fogs began to rise around them. Nobody could see the hovercar now as it had been shrouded by the mist.

    ¡°Alright, you can consume the core now.¡± Qin Feng said to Bai Li. She was on the verge of promotion. Since there was no safe ce for her to absorb the core in Chengbei as well, it was best to just wrap it up here.

    Bai Li wasted no time and absorbed the remaining cores.

    At the same time, twenty kilometers away from Qin Feng¡¯s hover car, three E-tier aptitude users were hiding at the side of the main road.

    ¡°Why is there no sign of him? Has Qin Feng figured out our n beforehand?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Stay alert.¡±

    ¡°I wonder whether he is as strong as the rumors say.¡±

    ¡°He left the arena immediately after he killed Xin Guang. That skill was indeed powerful but it must have taken a toll on him. Otherwise, why would he hide inside the hotel for thest few days?¡±

    ¡°Just be careful!¡±

    The three of them dared not take Qin Feng lightly.

    One of them was an honorable elder of the Xin family. His position was like that of Tao Shichang but had an even higher reputation and final says in the family.

    The other two were mercenaries hired by the Xin family with a huge bounty on Qin Feng¡¯s head. If they manage to kill Qin Feng, 100 million would be awarded. Even if they were to fail, the Xin family had promised topensate them for their effort with 10 million.

    They happily took the offer because sometimes it was easier to kill a man than a beast.

    No matter how powerful Qin Feng might be, he would not be able to take on three E-tier aptitude users at the same time. After all, Qin Feng was only at F-tier. They believed that Qin Feng would not survive their concerted assault.

    Unfortunately, Qin Feng did not show up as expected after twenty minutes.

    Just when they thought that their hidden ambush had ended in vain, a terrifying aura befell them from afar. The pressure from a beast king spread across the atmosphere and destabilized spacetime. Some small spatial rifts began to emerge around them.

    Their faces turned pale instantly.

    ¡°E-tier beast king!¡± Even one hundred E-tier aptitude users would be wiped out in an instant by such a horrendous beast.

    The three of them were restless.

    ¡°Qin Feng must have fled. There¡¯s no point waiting any longer. We should head back.¡± The elder from the Xin family was clearly terrified.

    The other two had no reason to object and they headed back to Chengyang at once.

    In the wild, no matter how hard Xiao Bai tried to contain her power, the emperor aura still leaked out profusely and startled the beasts around them. Moving creatures near them had all fled for their lives.

    ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s get back on the road.¡± Qin Feng turned back to the road and dispelled the dark runes.

    The car sped up steadily on the empty road. Qin Feng did not even realize it when he passed by a car from the opposite direction.

    However, those three in the car had noticed Qin Feng.

    ¡°The car just now!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°Turn around and follow him!¡±

    The elder braked hard, made a u-turn, and stomped hard on the elerator to chase after Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng, who was driving leisurely up to that point, noticed the pursuer immediately and scanned the car with his conscious energy. His face turned wicked. ¡®You have a death wish? I will grant you that!¡¯

 Chapter 160 - F-tier Aptitude User Test

    <h4>Chapter 160: F-tier Aptitude User Test</h4>

    Qin Feng stopped his hover car abruptly.

    The three men behind him did not understand why he did not run for his life instead. They did not hesitate for long and quickly surrounded the car.

    Qin Feng came down from the car confidently. Bai Li hade down from the other side as well.

    Unexinably, the three pursuers suddenly felt a sense of chill as if a giant beast had justid eyes on them.

    ¡°Give them what they came here for. Be careful not to taint the car,¡± Qin Feng said lightly.

    The three men did not understand why Qin Feng had said so. They were expecting him to plead for his life.

    Before they could make sense of what had just happened, a silver radiance shed in front of their eyes.

    In the next moment, they could no longer feel their legs and they crumbled to the ground.

    ¡°Argh!!!¡± The three of them shrieked in pain and could not believe what had just happened.

    ¡®How is this possible!¡¯

    Their limbs had been detached in an instant. They did not even know who the assaulter was.

    Qin Feng sneered and paced slowly toward them. ¡°I did not expect someone to bring me such a great present as a parting gift. Three E-tier ancient warriors, not bad!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand and ced it on one of the ancient warrior¡¯s dantian.

    Asteroid Assimtion

    The victim¡¯s internal power was being sucked out rapidly.

    ¡°My internal force!¡± The Xin elder rounded his eyes in shock.

    The disappearing internal force was hard-earned through his forty years of endless training. But even with his internal force intact, he would be no different from a wasted man with his limbs torn off.

    Qin Feng showed no mercy and snapped his throat after he was done with him.

    Die!

    He killed the other two the same way.

    ¡°Burn now!¡±

    Hellfire appeared out of thin air and burned the corpses down. Qin Feng spared the spatial runes and took it as a windfall.

    ¡°Let¡¯s move!¡± Qin Feng got back into the car. Bai Li followed suit and acted serenely as if she was not the one who had just cruelly torn off three people¡¯s limbs.

    She had used her spatial ability just now. Actually this could be defended if the opponent was prepared for it. But who would have thought the fragile-looking beauty was actually an E-tier humanoid beast?!

    Qin Feng set the car on autopilot and entered meditation. He added another ten internal power mists into his dantian.

    ¡°I have eighty-three mists now and I need another seventeen to reach E-tier if the ten-fold rule still applies.¡±

    Qin Feng contemted where he could get these seventeen forces next.

    He could buy some Chakra Pills to boost his internal power but this item was usually restricted for military use. He might not get sufficient supply since he was not on the frontlines at the moment.

    More importantly, Zheng Yang would be keeping a close watch on him for sure. On the surface, Qin Feng was an ancient warrior that had reached F7-tier and was entering E-tier soon. He was growing into a huge threat to Zheng Yang at this rate.

    As such, he probably could not get his hands on Chakra Pills at Chengbei now.

    ¡®Then I have only one ce to go to!¡¯ Qin Feng had the next destination in his mind.

    Fu City, the Dark Mercenaries. It was the corps where the person Qin Feng had contacted came from.

    The car entered Chengbei colony and Qin Feng noticed that the billboard of the skyscraper had changed into a new objective.

    Reim Han Town!

    Qin Feng was intrigued and slowed down his car. He read the information carefully.

    Though Han Town was under Fu City, it was not too far away from Chengbei colony. Such a huge war was usually apanied by great rewards and ample resources to loot for.

    Besides, there would be plenty of beasts around and it was a suitable ce to achieve promotional missions. The government had even brought down the mission quota to encourage more soldiers to head to the war.

    Before this, the quota was three hundred G-tier beasts in three days. Now, only two hundred forty insectoids would suffice.

    ¡®It¡¯s worth a visit.¡¯

    Indeed, no other news was bigger than this in recent months. The effort to reim Han Town had be the hottest topic among the aptitude and ability users nowadays.

    After he had attained E-tier, Qin Feng would need to go further if he wished to continue strengthening himself through the absorption ability.

    Fu City would be an ideal location.

    After he had made up his mind, he steered his hover car toward the aptitude certification hall.

    His grand battle suit and the gorgeous dress on Bai Li attracted a lot of attention.

    The onlookers bowed down as soon as they had a glimpse of the person walking by.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°He is the mayor of Fengli colony!¡±

    ¡°Why is he here?¡±

    ¡°Why else? He must be here to get certification!¡±

    They were paying Qin Feng a lot of respect.

    F-tier was equivalent to a troop leader in Chengbei and possessed substantial power around here. Not only that, Qin Feng was an admirable mayor now.

    More so, some of them paled inparison to Qin Feng¡¯s achievement. A month ago, these people attempted to invite Qin Feng into their teams when Qin Feng had obtained his G-tier certification. Some of thergepany leaders had even stayed in this hall for several years at the same level.

    Nobody could have foreseen such a huge improvement in Qin Feng in just one month.

    ¡°F-tier certification for me, she is taking the examination to obtain an F-tier badge directly...¡±

    Qin Feng wasmunicating with the counter staff. It turned out that this was not the first time someone had skipped the G-tier certification and went straight for F-tier.

    The staff confirmed their identities and directed them to the examination room.

    ¡°Attack power test. No. 413, please step up.¡±

    It was Qin Feng¡¯s turn.

    The candidate of F-tier certification should know how to use their internal strength by now. They would pass the test if the attack power exceeded 5,000 points.

    Qin Feng punched the instrument.

    5,001!

    The number stopped there precisely. Qin Feng passed the test unquestionably.

    He did not use his internal force at all. The number would be much higher if he were to unleash his full force.

    It was Bai Li¡¯s turn after Qin Feng.

    ¡°Xiao Bai. Come. Remember not to hit too hard,¡± Qin Feng instructed.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Bai Li nodded. She poked the instrument lightly since Qin Feng said so.

    The surface of the test instrument sank rapidly. Bai Li¡¯s ¡°light¡± force almost prated the machine.

    The number on the machine increased rapidly.

    Attack power: 10,040!

    Ten thousand?

    The examiner and other candidates in the room eximed out of astonishment.

    Such attack power was close to F9-tier.

    Some rubbed their eyes and could not believe the oue. ¡°This is the power of that skinny girl?? All she did was give it a casual poke!¡±

    Qin Feng could hardly hold back his smile and ushered Bai Li to the next examination room.

    Unlike Qin Feng who had reserved his power, Bai Li had no idea what the numbers stand for. Qin Feng was initially afraid that Bai Li might not be able to pass the test if she were to use too little force.

    His worry was proven unnecessary. As an E-tier beast king, her strength was off the charts even with just a slight push.

    That day, the news that Qin Feng had brought along a mighty female warrior to the certification center naturally spread through the colony like wildfire.

 Chapter 161 - The Hierarchy of Fengli

    <h4>Chapter 161: The Hierarchy of Fengli</h4>

    Lin Zheng was in his vi when the news was delivered to his doorstep by his subordinate.

    He angrily booted the table in front of him and quivered uncontrobly out of rage, perhaps a little frightened as well.

    ¡°Qin Feng, why don¡¯t you die already?¡±

    Lin Zheng was informed when Qin Feng reached the hall. His result there petrified him.

    Lin Zheng did not see him as a potential threat when Qin Feng gained first ce in the Spring Hunting Ground. Any G3-tier student could have easily defeated multiple opponents simultaneously. There was a huge gap between a prodigy and an average student after all.

    But he did fear him now after learning about the test result of Qin Feng and hispanion.

    ¡°During the test, he released his punch with such precision without even using his internal strength. Not to mention that he didn¡¯t even undergo the consciousness test. From what we gathered, almost all the conscious fruits have been stolen from the Spring Hunting Ground. Though there is no direct evidence that Qin Feng was behind it, it¡¯s odd that he didn¡¯t take any of the three fruits his team obtained openly during the expedition.¡±

    ¡°His ability must be quite powerful too.¡±

    ¡°I strongly suspect he was the thief.¡±

    ¡°That girl with him is by no means ordinary.¡±

    Lin Zheng had been following Qin Feng closely but lost his trace when Qin Feng went to Han Town after visiting Fengli Colony.

    When he heard of Qin Feng again, he almost could not believe his ears.

    Qin Feng had taken down the Steel-limb Broodmother all by himself.

    Lin Zheng could not do anything since he had be a hero to the people now. There was no need to rival the hope of Chengbei just because of a lost underling, he once thought.

    ¡°Damn you!¡± Lin Zheng deeply regretted it after what happenedter on.

    Aptitude users normally had fewer offsprings. The stronger one was, the fewer children he or she bore. It pained Lin Zheng greatly as his only son, Lin Kai, had been brutally killed!

    He knew a lot of people said that it was Chen Ming that killed his son but the culprit was dead now. He needed someone else to me to mitigate his pain of loss.

    ¡®If Qin Feng did not stop the Z Organization from abducting the wood ability user, things would not have turned out this way. He is the one who should be held responsible for my son¡¯s death!¡¯

    Though he wanted to take revenge, Lin Zheng was running out of ideas. He had used his connection and tried to assassinate Qin Feng in the arena. The result? Twenty-one straight wins for Qin Feng and an E-tier ancient warrior being killed by Qin Feng in an instant.

    He did not know what else to do.

    ¡°No. It¡¯s too early to give up. I still have the Xin family as my ally.¡± He opened up hismunicator and typed furiously. His face was filled with nothing but vengeance and resentment.

    ***

    On the other side, Qin Feng was passing the runic vest to Zhou Hao.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this is made from the broodmother¡¯s materials?¡± Zhou Hao asked in astonishment.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°This is for your protection. I n to go to Han Town soon. Do you want toe along?¡±

    ¡°Of course! I am getting bored with all these sses!¡± Zhou Haoined.

    Zhou Hao gained a lot of real battle experience from following Qin Feng¡¯s footsteps. Things being taught in the ssroom were not particrly useful to him now.

    ¡°Then apply for leaveter. We will depart tomorrow. Let¡¯s take public transport.¡±

    It would be too tiring if he were to drive there all the way.

    ¡°That would not be necessary. Reiming Han Town is our university¡¯s current priority as well. The school has been busy organizing such trips recently. All G-tier aptitude users have been asked to go. This time the headmaster is going to lead the troop so there¡¯s nothing to be worried about.¡±

    Qin Feng did not think of it at first. ¡°I see. When are the university troops departing?¡± He asked.

    ¡°Coincidentally, tomorrow.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and talked to Zhou Hao for a while more. He left after teaching Zhou Hao how to further improve his internal force.

    Reiming Han Town was an important matter. He reckoned Liu Xue and Wang Chen would be eager to follow him there as well.

    He steered his car out of town and headed straight to Fengli next.

    Qin Feng was only gone for a few days and Fengli had already changed drastically. There were various facilities set up in it right now and the blueprint of the colony had started to take shape. Because of the sufficient capitals, this ce wasrger than Han Town by quite a margin. Yet, it was still only half the size of Chengbei and no way near to the scale of Chengyang.

    In the center square, a giant skyscraper stood there proudly. This was the heart of Fengli colony.

    Around the long table, Qin Feng sat on the chairman seat with Bai Li beside him. Next to him, in descending order, were Xue Xingfu, Liu Xue, Wang Chen, Zhao Xiang, and He Ling.

    They were holding different important positions inside the colony now.

    Deputy mayor¡ªXue Xingfu.

    Resource minister¡ªLiu Xue.

    Internal Patrol¡ªCyclone Unit Captain, Wang Chen.

    External Guard¡ªWinter Unit Captain, Zhao Xiang. Vice Captain, He Ling.

    They had not set up an expedition unit. Most of the regions around them belonged to the Wilderness Ranger. Qin Feng did not wish to contest with them. They did not have enough strength to do that just yet.

    ¡°That¡¯s all for now. Wang Chen will be going with me while the Cyclone Unit will be under He Ling¡¯smand for the time being,¡± Qin Feng announced solemnly.

    Xue Xingfu and the others stood up and escorted Qin Feng out of the room.

    Xue Xingfu had witnessed Qin Feng¡¯s superiority but he never expected him to excel in management as well. He sometimes wondered where did the sixteen year old teenager learn all these from? ¡®I guess that¡¯s what makes a genius stand out from the rest.¡¯

    This was when Liu Xue blurted out, ¡°I wish to go too, Mayor.¡±

    Qin Feng had just told them he was forming his own team to be part of the reiming project. He did not wish to join the main troop and was gathering some G-tier aptitude users himself. This served as a training for those potential warriors he had scouted.

    Unfortunately, Liu Xue was not among the selected.

    ¡°Liu Xue, you should think it through. Do you wish toe back in pieces?¡± Wang Chen joked.

    Liu Xue red at him angrily.

    He Ling faked a cough and advised her, ¡°Liu Xue, you should remain here since your parents are here. If you go back to Han Town now, what will you do if the mayor of Han Town asks you to stay? Besides, the colony needs you. We need you.¡±

    Liu Xue could not rebut. She was in charge of the resources of the entire colony and indeed had ample things to deal with.

    Qin Feng had assigned them appropriately based on their personality. Though Liu Xue was a decent fighter and had been improving consistently, she was too lenient to be given any crucial positions. Resource management was the least taxing task Qin Feng could think of. Generally speaking, Liu Xue was just a stock keeper

    However, that did not undermine the importance of her job. She was given direct ess to all the money and materials of Fengli. Hence, Liu Xue viewed it as a mandate given by Qin Feng to her because he had the utmost trust in her.

    As for Wang Chen, as mischievous as he was on the surface, Qin Feng knew his cold-blooded nature deep down. He stood by strong principles, was a little selfish, but very witty at the same time. He would be of great help in the future if given the proper upbringing.

    Zhao Xiang was more of the hot-headed type, while He Ling was too kind to everyone. Both of them were still too immature to be a governor so Qin Feng arranged for them to guard the colony border against wild beasts while he entrusted Wang Chen with internal affairs.

    Qin Feng nced at them and instructed, ¡°Just do as I say. Don¡¯t try to figure out my intentions with that simple brain of yours again.¡±

    Liu Xue¡¯s face reddened, she was half embarrassed, half frustrated.

 Chapter 162 - Rope in!

    <h4>Chapter 162: Rope in!</h4>

    In the end, Liu Xue did not join Qin Feng when he went back to Chengbei colony with Wang Chen. They waited in the vehicle for the troops to begin their journey.

    Of course, Wang Chen had received the gift from Qin Feng, the inner armor of the Steel-limb Broodmother.

    Wang Chen had an affirmed feeling that it was a right choice that he had made at that time to follow Qin Feng.

    During the second day, everyone that was supposed to travel to Han Town had settled down in the vehicle in advance; then, they travelled from Chengbei colony for more than five thousand meters and were stationed at that location.

    ¡°Why is it taking so long, what if an ident happens to anyone of us waiting here!¡± Zhou Hao frowned unwittingly.

    ¡°It should be alright, we are still within the area covered by the outer patrols!¡± Zhang Tianche replied.

    Chengbei colony had mobilized three hundred G-tiers, while there were only slightly more than ten F-tier aptitude users.

    Chengbei University had also sent quite a number of people to join, majority of them were G-tiers, and there were about thirty of them with all the students from first to third yearbined.

    They were considered as a pir of strength!

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you joining us in the normal coach?¡± Zhao Yu asked curiously. ¡°Apparently, F-tiers are allowed to register for a private room!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and felt that it was unnecessary. ¡°Not much difference there, the train travels fast enough and we will be able to arrive in slightly more than twenty hours.¡±

    Thest time when Qin Feng travelled back to Chengbei colony from Han Town, he was travelling along with a crowd that only consisted of ordinary people; therefore, he had to be extra cautious and could only take official roads along the way.

    It was now unnecessary for him to do so!

    ¡°Woo...¡±

    All of a sudden, a loud and continuous horn exploded from afar. It sounded like the screaming of some creatures and the vibrating soundwave sent chills down everyone¡¯s spine.

    The soundwave was capable of repelling any creature that was below E-tier.

    In the next moment, a ck gigantic object appeared from the edge of the sky.

    It was about ten meters in width, covered with a pitch-ck body that made it impossible to estimate its size. It was gliding at high speed and was about ten meters above the ground.

    A hover train.

    A logo of a dragon and a phoenix appeared at the front of the train.

    Zhongcheng Organization!

    It was on par with Wanzong Organization in terms of operation size, and the hover train was their main product!

    It was very difficult to fulfil transportation needs during the end times gued by rifts, and the hover trains from Zhongcheng Organization were the only viable massive transport that could roam around the wilderness without any hindrance.

    Soon, the hover train had arrived right in front of everyone.

    Upon its arrival, the F-tier captain who had on a set ofpletebat fatigue came down from the train.

    He stood at the side and remained silent.

    While there was another G-tier train attendance who greeted everyone with a smile.

    ¡°Our honourable F-tier aptitude user guests, please make your way to coach number 1 and you may find your private coach there, for guests that are G-tier aptitude users, please take turns to enter the coach and you may find your own seats!¡±

    Everyone recovered from the shock and began to board the train.

    Zhou Hao said to Qin Feng who was beside him, ¡°Ah, you should have obtained the certification for F-tier aptitude users, isn¡¯t it great to have such special treatment?¡±

    Despite his powerful capabilities, Qin Feng was still with his G-tier aptitude user badge, whereas Bai Li did not even have hers. Needless to say, just like Bai Li, many would want to head to Han Town to obtain their certification!

    Before Qin Feng could reply, the captain suddenly caught a glimpse of him and told him, ¡°We have been expecting you Mr Qin, we have arranged a special twin coach for you, this way please!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his eyebrows as he was surprised by the well-informed arrangement by the Zhongcheng Organization, no matter what sort of information had been gathered by them, Qin Feng feltfortable with such recognition.

    ¡°Hmm, alright!¡±

    Qin Feng did not want Bai Li to be left out in the normal coach, hence, she followed him into coach number 1.

    The other students admired such treatment.

    Of course, there were those that admired him, and there were also those that envied him.

    One of those who felt envious was Gao Linghan.

    Being certified with an F-tier aptitude user badge, Gao Linghan was not envious of Qin Feng entering coach number 1 as he was also allowed to enter the same coach.

    However, he was envious of Qin Feng that had showcased his capabilities to everyone and had drawn all of the attention away from him.

    Ever since Qin Feng¡¯s identity was revealed, all that Gao Linghan could hear were onlypliments for Qin Feng. This had greatly irritated Gao Linghan who had seen himself as a natural born genius.

    However, everyone was taking turns to enter the train and none of them cared about how Gao Linghan felt, he could only withhold his dissatisfaction and board the train.

    Qin Feng was ahead of everyone and he was talking to the captain of the train.

    ¡°Mr Qin, my name is Tan Yue, one of the members of the Zhongcheng Organization, Before meeting you, I found it hard to believe that you are at such a young age!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled politely. ¡°Please just address me as Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°Haha, then, you shall also not address me as Mr Tan!¡±

    Both of them were into the conversation and became closer to each other.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I heard about your twenty-win streak in Chengyang City, your young age definitely does not represent your powerful capabilities, you will have great achievements in the Hero-ss in the future. However, great achievements would have to be supported by sufficient resources, hence, would you be interested to join Zhongcheng?¡±

    Tan Yue proposed a friendly offer.

    Qin Feng shook his head and replied, ¡°I¡¯m unable to join now, as you might have already known, I am taking care of a colony, and it is temporarily under the governance of Chengyang City!¡±

    There were several sources of interrted influences that sat on the top hierarchy of Chengyang City, and though Zhongcheng Organization might be a powerful entity, they were only relying on the existence of the colonies and did not develop any of it.

    Tan Yue did not seem to be disappointed by the answer.

    ¡°Alright, you can always reach out to me if you face any problems, we can look out for each other!¡±

    Both of them added their contacts into each other¡¯smunicator and Tan Yue moved on from the offer that he had proposed, instead, he initiated a discussion with Qin Feng on topics rted with ancient warrior skills.

    Then, the conversation carried on casually and Tan Yue asked, ¡°Qin Feng, what practice do you have to achieve such an invincible internal strength? How is it possible to have such a rich amount of internal strength!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled gently and replied, ¡°The cultivation method I have is indeed an unexpected discovery, the highest I can cultivate is up to B-tier; however, because of my rapid promotion, I would often have topress my internal strength.¡±

    Tan Yue was surprised by it.

    ¡°B-tier cultivation method? That¡¯s amazing! Is it among those cultivation methods that are currently being announced? Which one?¡±

    It was impossible for F-tier aptitude users to master a B-tier cultivation method. However, there might also be some top-tier cultivation methods being announced in the battle with an overpriced amount.

    ¡°It has never been announced!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you must be extremely lucky then, if you ever face challenges in terms of resources, or perhaps you would want to have it sold, please reach out to me!¡± Tan Yue said.

    Qin Fengughed and nodded, then, he continued to entertain Tan Yue for a little while more before he left.

    As soon as Tan Yue left the room, Qin Fen immediately put on his emotionless expression.

    ¡°A person¡¯s talent will arouse the envy of the others!¡±

    Qin Feng knew that his performance had been too eye-catching and had caught the attention of the others.

    It had merely been three months since he was awakened, and he had already achieved F6-tier invincible internal strength, therefore, it would be reasonable for the others to assume that Qin Feng had been practicing extremely powerful neigong.

    Asteroid Assimtion was indeed extremely powerful, but it was not something that should be made known publicly.

    ¡°It is lucky that Asteroid Assimtion is still not the number one evil cultivation method!¡±

 Chapter 163 - Returning to Han Town

    <h4>Chapter 163: Returning to Han Town</h4>

    It was Liu Meng who had used Asteroid Assimtion in several murder cases, it had caused Asteroid Assimtion to be put under the spotlight for the wrong cause.

    It was then referred to as one of the most famous evil cultivation methods!

    Qin Feng would never do that.

    Asteroid Assimtion would never be tagged as an evil cultivation method if it were not used on innocent people.

    This neigong would certainly only suit Qin Feng and no others!

    He would never expose the cultivation method to anyone.

    Tan Yue was just the first one who had approached him with such an offer, and there would only be more of these offers in the future.

    All Qin Feng needed to do was constantly grow!

    He would have to grow at a faster pace so that none of them could ever catch up to him, or even pose a threat to him.

    The churning sound of the train was heard as it hurtled through the wilderness, and finally it had arrived at the outer part of Han Town.

    The area of five thousand meters away from Han Town had been formed into a smaller sized colony that was without any space stabilizing device, it was like a temporarily built camp.

    Houses that were made from steel were scattered everywhere, while refugees, merchants, and aptitude users were all around, and the surroundings were in a rather bad shape.

    However, it was at least a ce for them to settle down.

    Everyone was assigned to rooms with a simple setup, while theirmunicators were connected to thework of the operations room.

    There were many drones that roamed around the sky of Han Town with all sorts of information that were being disyed, including members from the rescue teams, distribution areas of the insectoids, and even lists of main disaster areas.

    ¡°Boss, the rift is much smaller than it used to be, those who are from Fu City are also having a discussion on whether or not to build a permanent rift passage rather than to put it under a total closure. However, it is not an easy task to recapture Han Town now!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and continued to study the map of Han Town.

    ¡°This area...¡± Qin Feng frowned slightly, and before they left, there was already an idea in his mind.

    Wang Chen immediately reported the information that he had obtained.

    ¡°It is the ants¡¯ir. Based on the observation from the past few days and the numbers of the cksteel ants, it indicates that their queen has sessfully advanced to beast king tier!¡±

    Qin Feng was instantly rmed.

    He never had such an encounter before his rebirth.

    However, the development was indeed logical.

    No two lions were able to rule the same kingdom.

    The insectoids were different from the Dark-Robed Ripper and the Emperor Knight as they were the king-tier creatures of an intelligent tribe, while being corpses themselves, they were most probably obeying the broken arm master and acted in ordance to the orders given.

    Meanwhile in Han Town, the Steel-limb Broodmother who first appeared did not have any enemies around the area; hence, it was eyeing the massive amount of ants that was approaching, and upon the sessful hatching of the spiderlings, it would definitely lead them to hunt down other insectoids!

    However, the Steel-limb Broodmother had been killed by Qin Feng!

    Without the presence of its natural predator, the cksteel ants had grown stronger, and with sufficient energy resources, the beast king was then cultivated.

    Furthermore, the reproduction speed of the queen ant was more horrifying than the Steel-limb broodmother!

    ¡°With this being the center point, the insectoids¡¯ distribution around Han Town is clearly depicted, where would you like to head to?¡± Wang Chen asked enthusiastically.

    There was also a sense of admiration and excitement from the question.

    Wang Chen recalled the moment when Qin Feng went against the Steel-limb Broodmother alone.

    Unfortunately, the battle was not witnessed by anyone!

    ¡°It won¡¯t be easy to take care of the cksteel queen ant!¡± Qin Feng stated in a deep voice, ¡°The number of ants is on another level!¡±

    There were only about ten thousand ants when Qin Feng first left.

    With time, and without the presence of its enemy, the number of ants had increased by fivefold.

    Furthermore, the number would only grow higher as the reproduction process was supported by thousands of ants daily. They could easily survive on soil and wood chips. The food market that was initially the location of their habitat had be a wide area of gravel that was filled with faeces from the cksteel ants.

    It was an anthill.

    Wang Chen¡¯s passion was diminished after what Qin Feng said.

    ¡°True, we shall dy this discussion on taking down the queen ant¡¯sir, since it has not revealed itself either!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I will not join the operation with all of you, be prepared to protect Zhou Hao and the others, and take the opportunity to bring up the neers from Fengli colony!¡±

    ¡°Understood, Boss!¡±

    ¡°Understood, I shall join the battleter to observe!¡±

    It would be best to seek on-site experience rather than just rely on the map shown in themunicator. Furthermore, Bai Li was still required toplete the G-tier aptitude user badge mission.

    Qin Feng immediately summoned the umbra stallion.

    He grabbed onto Bai Li and ced her onto the horse while his conscious energy was activated, and the warhorse faded into blurred shadows as it started to travel at high speed toward Han Town.

    Many around the surroundings were alerted, especially those who were in the free vehicle provided by Han Town.

    During such end times, invasion of the rifts had caused all sorts of bizarre objects to appear. Although the umbra stallion might be considered as a mythical encounter, dragon rides were also a norm during such a period, but aptitude users that were at the lower tiers did not have the opportunity for such an encounter.

    Soon, Qin Feng had arrived near Han Town that was not guarded by any army forces; hence, there were insectoids that were roaming around the city wall and had destroyed the entire little town into ruins.

    Plow worms had started to appear beyond the city wall, and they were also joined by other bottom-tier insectoids.

    They were insectoids that were neither great in capabilities nor existed inrge groups, hence, they were being forced out of Han Town, a town that was fertile and resourceful for the insectoids.

    Actually, it was also challenging to confront plow worms.

    It was a bustling scene to have several G-tier aptitude users siege against a plow worm.

    The army was also cleaning up the surroundings.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    One of them let out a scream as his body was being bitten by the plow worm as it was contracting its body, and was about to retreat back underground. It would be a death sentence for the victim if the plow worm were to seed in the retreat!

    ¡°No!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare harm him!¡±

    The team members of the G-tier aptitude user roared and tried their best to alter the fate of their team member who was about to be devoured.

    Qin Feng sprinted across on his umbra stallion.

    ¡°Fire bream!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand casually and a dark-red fire rune light raynded on the gigantic body of the plow worm, followed by a loud explosion upon impact.

    The plow worm was sted into half while the G-tier aptitude user was tossed out along with the halved body part of the plow worm, and a loud scream was heard when hended onto the ground. However, he survived the st.

    It was a near escape from death!

    Qin Feng acted as if he had done nothing and went ahead on his umbra stallion, he then entered through the main gate of Han Town.

    The team were shocked by the scene as they could only look on at the retreating back of Qin Feng who had already passed by, they felt grateful and gave their salute to Qin Feng.

    ¡°This is great, it is all over now.¡±

    ¡°It was an honourable F-tier aptitude user who has just saved you earlier.¡±

    ¡°Aptitude users are indeed in God¡¯s favor!¡±

    ¡°I must convey my appreciation if there is a chance to meet him in the future.¡±

    Qin Feng did it out of his convenience and did not expect anyone to show their gratitude, he rushed into Han Town and got off from his horse.

    ¡°Do you still remember what I have taught you? Keep a low profile.¡±

    ¡°I do remember that!¡±

    Bai Li nodded, and a snow-white weapon appeared in her hand.

    It was a Ceramic Saber.

    Of course, it was extremely firm and contained all sorts of materials from ultra beasts, it was simr to the thin and long shape of the Verdant Emperor Saber that Qin Feng had.

    The only reason that Bai Li had chosen this weapon was purely because of its aesthetic features!

 Chapter 164 - Investigating the antsâ€™ lair

    <h4>Chapter 164: Investigating the ants¡¯ir</h4>

    Qin Feng switched on hismunicator and scanned his location, then, he assigned Bai Li to form a temporary team with him.

    ¡°Clean up street number 39 of the outer city up to a distance of thirty meters, mission epted!¡±

    Qin Feng selected the mission, although he might not be rewarded with a lot of money, it was a mission that he could clear without much extra effort.

    Bai Li adjusted and turned on the video recorder on themunicator and recorded the scene of the street.

    There were about six flies that were buzzing around the dark alley, they were about the size of a washbowl and theynded onto the ground that was scorched ck.

    There was a corpse that had decayed for a long time.

    Qin Feng focused his sight.

    There were now more species of insectoids.

    It was at that moment, without Qin Feng¡¯s reminder, Bai Li leaped forward at an undetectable speed and shed at the five gigantic flies, taking them down instantly.

    While both of them were wandering around, the number of insectoids being hunted down had increased as well.

    Soon, they hadpleted up to thirty meters in distance, and Bai Li had hunted down more than twenty insectoids that were of several different species. However, the area was indeed densely packed with insectoids!

    Moreover, it was only the outer area.

    There were no signals seeking for help as most of the people in the outer areas had either escaped or been rescued!

    Qin Feng led Bai Li to clean up ten streets and Bai Li¡¯s G-tier mission waspleted very quickly.

    The sky dimmed into a darker colour.

    ¡°Turn off the camera of themunicator!¡±

    Qin Feng ordered Bai Li to turn off the camera.

    Then, he hopped onto his umbra stallion together with Bai Li and went deeper into Han Town.

    It would be better to perform his own physical scouting as it was not always reliable to have drones to perform the scanning.

    Moreover, taking on battles during night time was a wise choice as it could provide a natural camouge to many of Qin Feng¡¯s abilities.

    Soon, both of them had stepped into the food market that they passed by when they first escaped from Han Town.

    Qin Feng inhaled unwittingly as soon as he arrived at the spot where he once escaped from.

    He had once scanned the area with his conscious energy, however, a different scene had now appeared in his conscious energy, it was a totally different environment from what he had seen before.

    Furthermore, when he looked down from a high-rise building from afar, the food market had already been demolished into a t surface, it had turned into brown-colored dunes.

    It was all because of the F-tier cksteel ants.

    ¡°Later on, turn on the camera, let¡¯s get two hundred kills first!¡±

    Qin Feng rode his umbra stallion and went into the streets.

    As soon as the umbra stallion was dismissed, Qin Feng and Bai Linded on the ground.

    Massive numbers of cksteel ants started to appear in the surroundings.

    The ants were extremely massive in size, and within a week, the number of beast generals and beast soldiers had increased tremendously.

    ¡°Kill them!¡±

    Qin Feng shouted with a deep voice while he acted swiftly and shed the Verdant Emperor Saber, a cksteel ant took the hit and fell onto the ground.

    Although the ants were reinforced with a firm outer shell that could hardly be broken by any ordinary saber, the Verdant Emperor Saber was able to take down the creatures with ease, it was like slicing through tofu.

    Bai Li did not want to use her saber, hence, she punched the creatures with her fist. Being an E-tier beast king with great energy output, she was able to easily destroy the outer shell of the cksteel ants with every single one of her punches.

    However, it was at that moment, more cksteel ants started to swarm and fill the area, both of them were left with a smaller space.

    ¡°Spectre Motion Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s body motion became swift and he started to manoeuvre around the limited space.

    Soon, ck rays started to emit from Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    The dark runes.

    ¡°Phantom Motion Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s shadow began to flicker as his body movements became faster and he was able to conceal his presence better.

    The cksteel ants who were after Qin Feng were unable to track his footsteps and had no idea on how to capture him.

    Qin Feng continued to manoeuvre around and took down the ants one by one, and the carcasses of the ants began to pile up on the ground.

    The recordings could only capture a blurred scene, and it was impossible for it to capture any abnormalities from Qin Feng¡¯s motion.

    Soon, Qin Feng had taken down eighty F-tier cksteel ants.

    Capabilities of ultra beasts were often ahead of the advancement of humans, hence, there was a huge difference in terms of capabilities between an A-tier aptitude user and an A-tier ultra beast.

    Therefore, certification of an F-tier would require one hundred kills. However, when providing support to Han Town, thepletion would only require eighty percent of it!

    On the other hand, Bai Li had also stopped her killing as she was already close to her targeted number!

    ¡°Turn off the camera!¡±

    Qin Feng ordered!

    Bai Li immediately turned off her recording, and Qin Feng also did the same.

    It was at that moment, Qin Feng and Bai Li were surrounded by even more cksteel ants, to the extent that there was no space left for them to stand!

    However, Bai Li did not panic at all, and it was the same for Qin Feng as well.

    Bai Li gentlyunched herself off her feet and leaped onto the first floor with ease.

    Qin Feng remained alone on the streets!

    If it were seen by the others, they would have assumed that Bai Li had betrayed her team member.

    She had forsaken Qin Feng and escaped herself!

    Of course, it was not the case.

    As soon as Bai Li left, Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was activated and it grew rapidly.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    A strong me swept through the surroundings.

    The ground was covered with fire that was pulsing with vigorous fire runes, countless of cksteel ants were charred by the fire from Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng could feel that he was growing stronger!

    Despite being small in size, the cksteel ants were extremely horrifying with their firmly enforced steel on the top of their heads, and the ankle bones of a human being could be easily fractured if attacked by it.

    After killing off the powerful ants, the energy devoured by Qin Feng had also increased tremendously.

    The muscles on Qin Feng¡¯s body had also improved simultaneously with the umtion of energy.

    The size of his muscles was not too overwhelming, and they were rather refined with each of them filled with explosive energy!

    ¡°Retreat!¡±

    Qin Feng recovered the runes, and the ground was scorched together with the ants that had turned into burnt charcoal, a light touch would cause them to disappear into ashes.

    It was only the steel armor on top of their skull that was left behind, and it was the most precious material that could be obtained from a cksteel ant.

    Qin Feng activated his conscious energy, and as if the surroundings were being swept through by a tornado, all the carcasses of the ants were destroyed while the metal armor flew up high, being controlled by Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy as theynded onto his hand.

    The cksteel ants were mostly F3 or F4-tier insectoids, hence, with his overpowered capabilities, Qin Feng could easily take down all of them within a split second!

    Before Qin Feng could leave the street, there were more cksteel ants that were swarming toward him.

    The cksteel ants could easily survive in dire situations, and of course, they would prey on human beings with aptitude users being their favourite, as their flesh was even more delicious.

    Moreover, there was a saying that describes a massive number of ants that could kill an elephant!

    Although Qin Feng might not be an elephant, the number of cksteel ants was indeed too overwhelming!

    Before Qin Feng could estimate the number of ants that were there, the ants that were rushing toward him had caught him off guard.

    The army of ants that was in ck moved at high speed, as if Qin Feng would soon be mmed on by a gigantic wave.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    Qin Feng casted the Hellfire Carpet all over the ground, but it was outnumbered by the overwhelming number of cksteel ants. They went against the fire, stepped on top of the other ants who had sacrificed their lives and surged on toward Qin Feng furiously to kill him.

 Chapter 165 - First Dayâ€™s Results

    <h4>Chapter 165: First Day¡¯s Results</h4>

    Qin Feng cleared one hundred meters in a matter of seconds and yet the armored ants remained hot on his tail.

    ¡°One more time!¡±

    The power of his consciousness surged, and Hellfire was released once again, drowning the entire surface in fire.

    Running from one road to another, Qin Feng had already covered over three hundred meters within a short span of time. The very first release of his Hellfire attack was a result of him losing precise control over his consciousness, which in turn, caused the dispersion of the runes.

    Fortunately, the number of remaining ants that wasing after him relentlessly had been consistently whittled away by his attacks!

    Even so, it should be kept in mind that these ants were the elites of their colony.

    Individually speaking, they were all separate beast generals, out-numbering Qin Feng seven-to-one.

    Each of them was around a meter tall, easily reaching the height level of Qin Feng¡¯s thighs. That was however, not the scariest part about these ants. That part would be reserved for the pair of wings sticking out of their backs, allowing them a short flight time which was more than enough to reach Qin Feng if they wished to.

    The first armored ant took flight and started closing in on Qin Feng. And yet, as it honed in on its prey, instead of sinking its jaws into Qin Feng¡¯s flesh, it passed right through his body as if he was just a projection.

    Of course, it was not his actual body though, it was something close to a projection. What it passed through was Qin Feng¡¯s afterimage.

    The speed at which he was moving was so fast that there were afterimages!

    ¡°Phantom¡¯s Maze!¡±

    Qin Feng dodged a fatal blow from the beast general.

    Boom!

    A deafening sound echoed down the streets. The beast general lifted a full-sized sedan that was parked by the road and smashed it into a nearby skyscraper. The sheer force from the impact turned the car into a steel disc, rendering itpletely unrecognizable.

    Evidently, the beast generals of the armored ants possessed terrifying strength for their size!

    Three more beast generals flew toward Qin Feng.

    It was time for QIn Feng to unleash his own tricks. With lightning speed, he dashed through the gaps between the three armored ants while unsheathing his saber.

    ¡°Blooming me!¡±

    White-hot mes spat out from the saber and sparks flew in every direction, resembling a blooming flower during spring.

    In a split second, the three beast generals were minced up into stinking chunks.

    ¡°Buzz!¡±

    An armored ant flew toward Qin Feng¡¯s position. Due to the inertia it had built up, it was flying at an incredible speed.

    Dodging was no longer a viable option; the only thing he could do was to sh his way out of the armored ant¡¯s attack.

    Thonk!

    As the Verdant Emperor Saber shed with the armored ant¡¯s hardened exterior, a crisp, hollow sound rang out, followed by a massive jolt of energy that spread up Qin Feng¡¯s arm as a result of the abrupt collision. Still, a fraction of a secondter, the beast general¡¯s armor gave way and the saber was able to slice down like a hot knife through butter, splitting it into two equal parts!

    Three beast generals out of the original seven had already been taken down by Qin Feng!

    Once more, Qin Feng¡¯s ability was released.

    ¡°Fire Beam!¡±

    Three jets of mes shot out from Qin Feng¡¯s position, covering the assaulting ants in ayer of smoldering heat. Despite this, virtually none of them were halted in their rush toward their prey!

    Qin Feng activated the Phantom Maze, allowing him to escape from their grasp. Then, an almost blinding ray of light shed from the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Sky Burning Sword Style!¡±

    A me spit forth like the devil¡¯s tongue, splitting in half the remaining beast generals at their thoraxes.

    Pit pat pit!

    The regr cksteel ants that trailed behind their generals retreated; none of them dared to step up and face Qin Feng inbat.

    After suffering a loss of seven beast generals, regardless of how many generals they had left at the colony, they were not willing to lose even one more. These insectoids were masters at preserving their own lives and were biologically programmed to be fearful of ces where the smell of death pierced their sensory organs, hence their retreat.

    On the other side, Qin Feng felt a huge wave of raw energy from the beast general¡¯s body flow into his own.

    As his fleshly strength had already reached F7-tier, it would take a lot more time and effort than before to grow his powers further but at the current rate of his progress, that day shoulde pretty soon!

    Buzz Buzz Buzz!

    Qin Feng¡¯s ears picked up a vibration in the air, high up in the sky that could only be caused by the pping of insect wings. Using his consciousness, he scanned the area above like a radar, only to discover that it was the infamous bloodthirsty beetle.

    This species typically lived in solitude but from time to time, one could bump into a group of three to five beetles, travelling together. This would only ur after a particrly intense fight where enough blood was split that it could attract and sustain a group of these beetles.

    Somehow, Qin Feng¡¯s fight was detected by these darned beetles. An interesting thing to note was that these beetles did not feast on the blood of their fellow insectoids; they would only consume blood of humans and ultra beasts

    ¡°Piss off!¡±

    Several beams of fire erupted from the ground, knocking out a handful of these bloodthirsty beetles from the air.

    Confirming that the coast was clear, Qin Feng proceeded to pry off the armor tes of the beast generals he had freshly in in order to obtain the crystal cores within. After he was done with that, he ran back in the direction from where he came.

    At this point, littered across the ground were the charred remains of the armored ants. Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness kicked into frenzy mode as he went around looting precious materials dropped by these unsightly bugs.

    Though, shortly after his looting spree had started, the insectoids seemed to have gone into a frenzy of its own.

    Qin Feng whipped out hismunicator to check the time.

    It was already 8pm, night time.

    ¡°Guess I¡¯lle back here tomorrow!¡± With a wave of his hand, the umbra stallion trotted over to Qin Feng¡¯s side silently, followed by Bai Li. Both of them then climbed onto the horse with Bai Li sitting in front.

    Soon, they left Han Town without facing any obstructions.

    The provisional colony set up outside Han Town was brightly lit during the night and was a ce where battle achievements were recorded. Every day, people would gather here to im fresh rewards uponpleting a seemingly never-ending stream of quests.

    A simple room next to the projector screen where battle rankings were disyed was where the people of Chengbei Colony were gathered. From there, they would be able to observe the umtion of merits each time a new quest waspleted.

    ¡°Senior Gao, your team¡¯s reaping a great big reward today!¡± Lu Meng said with a gleeful smile on his face.

    A crowd of people sitting around in a circle was busy grilling meat skewers over a fire. There must have been at least a dozen of them there, including Gao Linghan and Li Yaoyao¡¯s teams. On the other side sat Lu Meng, Zhou Hao, Zhang Tianche, Zhao Yu and the rest.

    It was an odd group, made up of people from different age groups and from different circles. However, because of the fact that Lu Meng had now be part of Zhou Hao¡¯s stationary force, as well her close rtionship with Li Yaoyao, everyone sat together to share good food as well as to trade insider¡¯s information they had heard of with each other.

    ¡°It isn¡¯t too bad!¡± Gao Linghan nodded slightly but a look of delight was clearly reflecting off his eyes.

    He led his team on a hunt-and-destroy mission earlier today and together, they had killed quite a lot of bugs, around a thousand of them.

    While a thousand kills was by no means a big deal, one should keep in mind that they had only arrived after noon. Within a span of a few hours, killing such an amount would make them one of the most deadly aptitude users from Chengbei.

    ¡°Though, why isn¡¯t Qin Feng, a member of your team, together with you?¡± Gao Linghan¡¯s eyes showed hints of doubt and curiosity.

    Zhou Hao was gnawing on a perfectly grilled chicken wing as he replied casually. ¡°He went off with Bai Li to hunt bugs on their own. That lunatic now seeks only F-tier bugs to kill, so naturally, he isn¡¯t going along well with our team!¡±

    Gao Linghan¡¯s smile stiffened.

    With furrowed brows, Li Yaoyao mocked Zhou Hao. ¡°For Qin Feng to act this way, is it because you guys are holding him back during battle? I¡¯m sure it wouldn¡¯t be the case if it were up to Senior Gao!¡±

    Zhou Hao smirked but chose to remain silent.

    It was then that Zhang Tianche, who sat nearby, broke the silence. ¡°Qin Feng¡¯s back!¡±

    ¡°Ah? Where¡¯s he?¡± Zhou Hao spat out a piece of chicken bone and craned his neck backward, he could immediately spot Qin Feng.

    Perhaps this was because Qin Feng stood out from the crowd. No, it was not Qin Feng that stuck out like a sore thumb but Bai Li, who was currently snuggled between his arms.

    Riding on the umbra stallion¡¯s back, Bai Li was sporting a white shirt that glimmered in silver, as if it was woven from the rays of moonlight. That, coupled with her unrivalled beauty meant that nobody was able to take their eyes off of her no matter how hard they tried.

    ¡°So you¡¯re back huh, Qin Feng? How are your results of today?¡± Zhou Hao hurriedly followed up with a question.

    Everyone on the scene perked up their ears.

    ¡°I haven¡¯t reported it yet but here, have a look yourself!¡± Qin Feng passed hismunicator to one of the staff members that handled battle reports.

    The machine produced a series of beeping sounds which ended abruptly, meaning that the calctions had been finalised.

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep¡±

    [Reviewpleted. Your battle achievement: 2602 points!]

    This did note as too much of a surprise for Qin Feng. Though, he had only recorded down the number needed for his F-tier aptitude user badge, which was two hundred forty F-tier ultra beasts. The remaining results must havee from unfortunate beasts that he had identally in in the midst of battle!

    ¡°Pretty brilliant, you are!¡± Zhou Hao said as he stared at the number on the screen.

    And yet, Gao Linghan did not acknowledge Qin Feng¡¯s results for the day.

    ¡°For you to return sote, with so many additional hours on the hunting ground. If it were up to me, I¡¯d be able to surpass that number effortlessly!¡±

    Though, Gao Linghan missed out on one essential point. On the hunting ground, he was fighting with an entire team with him being an F-tier user while the rest of his ssmates were G8, G9-tier users!

 Chapter 166 - Certified F-tier

    <h4>Chapter 166: Certified F-tier</h4>

    It was then that Bai Li submitted her own footage.

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep¡±

    [Reviewpleted. Your battle achievement: 3288 points!]

    Zhou Hao unwittingly peeked at Bai Li.

    What happened today that Bai Li ended up participating in their mission?

    It was not just Zhou Hao that looked over at Bai Li. The rest of the staff working there too, stole nces at Bai Li. Footages captured during missions were as solid as they could be, meaning that this female aptitude user was not just another delicate eye candy to ogle at.

    ¡°Umm, ma¡¯am, it seems that you haven¡¯t been certified as an aptitude user yet. As such, the authorities may not release your rewards in a lump sum. I hope you can understand and I apologise for any inconveniences caused!¡±

    Bai Li was not able to grasp the twists and turns in the staff member¡¯s words but nodded regardless.

    Seeing this, Qin Feng intervened. ¡°Let¡¯s get you certified then. After all, we¡¯d epted multiple missions back at Chengbei Colony!¡±

    Many of those gathered here were taking up missions in order to get their aptitude user badge and this Quest Hall was a ce where one¡¯s abilities could be reviewed and consequently, award the reviewees with their respective badges.

    The most important thing however, was not the badge but the financial subsidy provided for aptitude users!

    For F-tier aptitude users here participating in the conquest of Han Town, so long as they could maintain a daily score of a thousand points and above, they would receive a grant of ten thousand yuan as well as a special rebate of 9.5% off when converting it into battle achievement points.

    To put it simply, the greater one¡¯s daily points, the higher the rebate percentage.

    ¡°Understood! Please wait here for a second!¡±

    The staff member proceeded to make some calctions for both of them which was thenpleted a short whileter. With a smile on his face, he produced two F-tier aptitude user badges.

    ¡°Congrattions! ording to our statistics, both of you are F-tier aptitude users. These are your badges! I have just updated your personal information. The two of you will be enjoying more benefits from now on!¡±

    Qin Feng epted the two badges before pinning one of them onto Bai Li¡¯s chest.

    ¡°It looks kinda ugly! It doesn¡¯t fit with my clothes at all!¡± Bai Liined.

    ¡°Make sure you have it on, it¡¯ll be of great use when the timees!¡±

    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Bai Li asked doubtfully.

    ¡°At least some of the rascals won¡¯t dare mess with you again!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    Nodding her head, Bai Li proceeded to help pin the badge onto Qin Feng¡¯s chest.

    ¡°Now, they won¡¯t mess with you too!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled.

    Zhou Hao, standing nearby, covered his eyes. At the sight of the lovey-dovey couple, he felt a massive blow smash into his heart. It was downright cruel to show such acts of affection in front of this single man¡¯s eyes! On that day, he was reminded of just how cruel life could be at times.

    Pulling Bai Li¡¯s hands, Qin Feng led her out of the hall. The F-tier aptitude user badges worked perfectly. While many of them did not know who the strange duo was, they sure could recognise the badges pinned on their chest. The men who once lustfully drooled over Bai Li now looked at her with fear and moved aside for them to pass.

    At the moment, noise seemed to onlye from one corner outside the hall. They were the shouts of merchants here to bid for exotic goods.

    ¡°Fresh plow worm meat! Buying at twenty yuan per pound!¡±

    ¡°Bloodthirsty beetles¡¯ blood backs for sale! Offering fifteen grand a pop!¡±

    ¡°Steel-back snail¡¯s outer-shell!¡± I¡¯m willing to pay thirty thousand yuan a piece!¡±

    The prices they yelled out were much lower than what Qin Feng remembered hearing in the past. The price of materials from G-tier ultra beasts seemed to have been cut by half; what was once priced at four to five thousand yuan back in Chengbei Colony now cost a mere one to two thousand yuan. This was partly because of the insectoids¡¯ small body size as well as their overflowing supply; it was simple economics at work.

    There were just too many insectoids!

    However, these merchants were buying insectoid parts at a substantially higher price than the authorities, which was why so many people preferred to sell the materials they had gathered from the battlefield here.

    After all, not everyone here possessed a spatial runic equipment of their own; they had nowhere else to store the materials which would umte pretty quickly into arge mound over time.

    It was not long before Qin Feng caught wind of someone offering to buy cksteel ant parts in a corner.

    ¡°Are you collecting cksteel ants? How much are you offering?¡± Qin Feng inquired.

    The merchant¡¯s eyes lit up instantly. Seeing the F-tier aptitude user badges disyed on both of their chests, they must possess the ability to hunt cksteel ants, he thought. If that were the case then he must have hit the jackpot!

    ¡°Twelve grand!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s brows furrowed upon hearing the offer. He followed up with a question, ¡°How many are you looking to buy?¡±

    ¡°How many do you have? I¡¯ll buy em¡¯ all!¡± The man waved hisrge hand confidently. Perhaps because he was far from being short of cash.

    Seeing the merchant¡¯smendable bravado, Qin Feng tapped on Bai Li¡¯s waist, a gesture for her to retrieve the items.

    With a wave of her delicate arm, dinner-te-sized armor scales showered out from a point in mid-air until arge mound was formed on the ground.

    Merchants and sellers around them alike were wide-eyed at the scene.

    ¡°I¡¯ll leave the counting to you.¡± Qin Feng said.

    The merchant gulped nervously, his face flushed. With a stutter, he replied, ¡°That uh, boss, can I get some of my friends to buy it together? This is, uh, a bit too much for me to handle!¡±

    ¡°Big boss, are you selling? If there¡¯s too much then I¡¯m offering to buy at 12,600 yuan!¡±

    ¡°12,700 yuan for me!¡±

    ¡°Thirteen grand!¡±

    The first merchant was now drenched in cold sweat as the other merchants moved in like hungry predators.

    ¡°Hey, you¡¯re all breaking the rules! You can¡¯t just swoop right in and snatch away my goods!¡±

    However, there was no denying that the number of goods was too much for a single merchant to handle. Each piece here could provide a profit of around two thousand yuan but that would easily reach up to more than ten thousand elsewhere. Too bad his business capital was simply inadequate to handle this amount of goods!

    Qin Feng was certainly not looking to lose out in this deal.

    ¡°Thirteen grand, tell me how much you need!¡± Qin Feng announced.

    The entire ce suddenly erupted with the shouts of greedy merchants.

    On that night, Qin Feng had killed around a thousand and two hundred cksteel ants. Even without selling the materials he had foraged from the ultra beasts, he managed to earn around 16 million yuan from the single deal alone.

    This amount was more than enough to earn the envy of many other F-tier mercenaries.

    However, there was one group of people who was in for a greater shock¡ªthose who had consistently tracked Qin Feng¡¯s progress.

    ¡°Qin Feng had that many cksteel armor? He must¡¯ve killed a mountain of cksteel ants then!¡± Zhao Yu said in astonishment. ¡°But the points he umted did not reflect that!¡±

    Zhang Tianche, being the more attentive person, understood quite well what Qin Feng¡¯s strength was like, which was why it did not shock him as much as it did the others.

    Maybe it was because he did not want to expose his actual strength to the people around him!

    ¡°Footage quality goes downhill pretty quickly after sunset. Maybe that¡¯s why Qin Feng did not bother to turn on his recorder!¡± Zhang Tianche swiftly came up with an excuse to back Qin Feng up.

    Zhao Yu on the other hand, felt a sting in her heart. ¡°That would¡¯ve given him even more points though!¡±

    Gao Linghan, who unintentionally eavesdropped on their exchange felt a prickly warmth spreading over his face.

    He initially thought that the battle points Qin Feng collected was nothing impressive, but the materials he had gathered were almost five folds greater than the points he had! For there to be such a huge gap in difference, it left Gao Linghan in despair and humiliation!

    It appeared that he was no longer worthy to be Qin Feng¡¯s rival.

    Not wanting to see Qin Feng¡¯s face, Gao Linghan rose from his seat and gave his final order of the day. ¡°I want all of you to hit the sack soon. A fight¡¯s waiting for us tomorrow.¡±

    Gao Linghan left the ce as soon as he said that, returning to the simple room from before to catch some shut-eye.

    When Qin Feng finally returned to the campfire, only a handful of his team members remained at the site. He waspletely oblivious to the fact that he had caused utter despair in the first-rate genius thatbeled himself as Qin Feng¡¯s rival!

    The simple room had limited amenities. Luckily, it had one of the most basic of all amenities¡ªa clean water supply. After freshening himself up, he climbed onto the iron-framed bed and slept with Bai Li between his arms.

    The night was tranquil, until a woman¡¯s moan echoed through the air from afar.

    Bai Li¡¯s ears perked up.

    Qin Feng¡¯s mouth twitched. Swiftly, he covered both of her ears and ordered, ¡°Sleep!¡±

    ¡°O-okay!¡±

    Bai Li gave a tiny yawn and fell asleep in an instant!

    She slept with no issues, even with Qin Feng¡¯s hands covering her ears tightly. Seeing the sleeping beauty between his arms, he could not help but sigh.

    ¡°What great energy he has.¡± Qin Feng muttered under his breath.

    This room was far from being sound-proof. The camp was filled with men who fought constantly in the frontlines, staring death in the eyes nearly every second of the day. Naturally, they would have to find some ce to vent out their frustrations, to release their pent-up energy after a hard day¡¯s work out on the battlefield.

    This was men¡¯s fundamental w.

    When Han Town fell, the first people to be rescued were those living in slums which were located at the outskirts of the small town. The fact that they had been rescued did not mean that three meals a day was guaranteed. In order to survive, many of them had to offer something up for sale. For those living in poverty, that ¡°something¡± came in the form of their bodies. Thus, the practice of prostitution became the norm in the provisional colony.

 Chapter 167 - Burning Rice Fields

    <h4>Chapter 167: Burning Rice Fields</h4>

    Fortunately, Qin Feng was well-informed about this fact and with the help of his strong consciousness, he sealed away his internal strength, allowing his body to return to its original tranquil state. Soon, he too, drifted into thend of dreams.

    This night however, was not as tranquil to a handful of other people. On the contrary, it was a night filled with excitement and adrenaline!

    When dawn broke, Qin Feng observed that arge portion of students from Chengbei Colony wore dark circles under their blood-shot eyes.

    ¡°Did you guys struggle to sleep wellst night?¡± Qin Feng asked as he eyed a couple of other students.

    While Zhou Hao also had dark-circles under his eyes, like that of a panda, he also had an excited look on his face.

    ¡°Nope, not at all! I slept well!¡±

    The corner of Zhang Tianche¡¯s mouth twitched. Just who was it that kept his ear glued to the wall the entire night before?

    Zhou Hao, rubbing his eyes tiredly, wanted to share something that he caught wind ofst night¡ªa teenie weenie secret shared only between men.

    However, upon catching sight of Bai Li, the feeling of pain crept up in Zhou Hao¡¯s heart.

    ¡°You goddamn normie, you won¡¯t ever feel the pain of us single men. Just one look is enough to tell me that you slept like a kingst night!¡±

    He was not wrong but Qin Feng did nothing in bed the night before.

    ¡°Don¡¯t badmouth others to make up for your own shorings. I used my internal strength to block out all the noisest night. I bet you spent the entire night listening to the symphony, I mean look at those circles!¡± Qin Feng retorted.

    Lu Meng and Zhao Yu looked at Qin Feng with contempt.

    ¡°Ahem, that¡¯s where you¡¯re wrong! You¡¯ve misunderstood what I did, Qin Feng!¡± Zhou Hao eximed. Then, with the voice of a mouse, he whispered into Qin Feng¡¯s ears, ¡°You gotta save me some face, man. I wanna spend the rest of my life filled with joy and having pretty women to squeeze!¡±

    Qin Feng held back hisughter. ¡°Alright fine. Hurry up and get some chow, prepare for battle afterward!¡±

    Most of them could not help but discuss the eventsst night so they ate only pieces of bread or hardtack crackers that were in their rations.

    It appeared that they had already lost their appetite for a heavy breakfast.

    [Beep Beep Beep!]

    Everyone¡¯smunicators rang out in unison. Qin Feng lowered his head to the noise, only to discover that it was calling for a voluntary joint-forces operation.

    Such missions were announced every morning, ordering for a specific street to be cleaned up. There, they would have to pour beast-repelling powder all over to prevent the insectoids from breeding and thus, quell the poption surge of their enemy.

    These sort of operations provided a much needed sense of uniformity in their quest to recapture Han Town.

    Though, the setbacks were equally as jarring. In the event that the chosen street was the nest of a crazy-strong beast, then the loss of a few men was inevitable.

    Of course, in order to minimise unnecessary casualties, each street would be assigned to at least a handful of teams in order to secure the ce without major hups.

    Qin Feng raised his finger and pressed down without hesitation on the reject button.

    Considering his capabilities, there was no need for him to engage in such operations.

    On the other hand, after a round of serious discussion, Zhou Hao and co finally decided to participate in this operation.

    And so, the daily report on the insectoids¡¯ distribution around Han Town was updated. The most urate information on this typically came right after dawn, which was right now.

    [For today, our sweeping operation will be conducted in the East and South Districts of Han Town. Clearing teams, streets 55-58 are your targets. Members who have yet to participate in this operation, please proceed to other districts!]

    ¡°I¡¯ve had my fill. Time to go!¡±

    Qin Feng finished up the final piece of hardtack and brushing the crumbs off his hands, he stood up.

    ¡°Right! Stay safe!¡± Zhou Hao said as he waved at his friend. He would have to remain there until further orders were given to his team.

    ¡°You guys too! If you bump into any trouble, I want you to immediately send me your coordinates, understand?¡±

    ¡°No problem!¡± Zhou Hao nodded.

    After releasing the umbra stallion, Qin Feng and Bai Li climbed up onto its back.

    With just a few leaps, they had arrived at an area just outside the provisional colony. It was then that they noticed a fewrge vehicles transporting bags of pungent substance that almost made one¡¯s eyes water.

    ¡°Stinky!¡± Bai Li immediately pinched her nose shut.

    ¡°Then you should hold your breath for a little longer! Qin Feng climbed down the horse and walked to the front of the convoy.

    ¡°I want twenty bags of this beast repelling powder!¡± Qin Feng then pointed in Bai Li¡¯s direction. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯re together in a team!¡±

    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that be a tad bit overkill?¡± The man asked.

    ¡°We cleared ten streets yesterday!¡± Qin Feng disyed the result of yesterday¡¯s operation.

    The inhuman results stunned the man for a while before he returned to his senses. ¡°Alright, if you¡¯ve used up all of em¡¯ thene back for more!¡±

    Qin Feng tucked away twentyrge bags of beast repelling powder into his spatial runic equipment.

    This powder was specifically formted to fight the insectoids and consequently, it yielded great results in reducing their numbers. However, in instances where the insectoids were rampaging or if they were under strategic control, the enemy could easily overrun cleared streets. The powder posed virtually no harm to the insectoids whatsoever; it merely irritated the insectoids and thus, stop them from settling down and turning the street into a breeding spot.

    It was not only the insectoids that were irritated. Some humans, like Bai Li right now, hated its foul-smell.

    Fortunately, the spatial runic equipment was smell-proof. It was not too long before they had arrived at the Northern gate of Han Town.

    The direction in which they were moving waspletely different from before. Also, the Northern gate suffered more severe damage due to it being the supposed bread basket for Han Town.

    The grains nted in this agricultural field were however, nowhere near enough to feed even one-tenth of Han Town¡¯s poption. Every year, the people here had to import goods from Fu City and its shortfalls in maintaining adequate food supply was the primary reason why this town remained undeveloped.

    A town which was not self-sufficient and hencecking enough cash flow from trading would only see itself grow poorer and poorer.

    The sudden appearance of Qin Feng and Bai Li got the attention of a few cold-blooded killers that were hiding in the agriculturalnd.

    In a split second, a green-yellowish streak dashed toward the duo¡¯s position.

    ¡°Fire Beam!¡±

    Booom!

    A jet of fire spewed forth, downing the insectoid that tried to ambush them.

    It was a de mantis!

    It appeared that as of now, this ce had be their first choice to set up their nests as well as their hunting ground.

    That exined why not many dared to even set foot near this ce. After all, de mantises were F-tier beasts.

    With the source of their grains lost to the insectoids, the situation was exacerbated as the end of autumn had arrived. A few downpours,mon during this season, had passed, killing off what remained of the dying crops in the agricultural fields.

    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, we should burn it all down!¡±

    Qin Feng kept his words brief. Without an ounce of hesitation, he unleashed his Hellfire attack on the field.

    The crops by then was already dried up, like skeletons of what it used to be. That made it all the more easier for Hellfire to incinerate everything in its path.

    Soon, arge me towered into the sky, apanied by a massive pir of ck smoke rising never-endingly into the atmosphere. Due to it being too conspicuous, a few drones hovered over to record footage of the scene.

    In thebat operations room, the highest member in the chain ofmand was an E3-tier gunner.

    He was also themander of the self-defense corps operating outside Fu City, widely known as Chi Long!

    For the moment, he was acting as the leader of operations to retake Han Town, hence he spent most of the days supervising what was going down on the battlefield.

    While the current spatial rift wasrge, it had yet to produce too big of an impact. Just like the emergence of the Emperor Knight from before, there was a risk that it might bring about a new strain of gue-causing virus.

    In that case, if worse truly dide to worst, Han Town could be abandoned for good.

    Chi Long, being an E-tier aptitude user, did not bother with fighting the war directly.

    There was also another man that was a significant member in thebat operations room, the mayor of Han town¡ªShi Tianhai.

    ¡°What¡¯s the situation?¡± Chi Long switched over to the drone¡¯s footage, which overlooked the entire Northern district of Han Town.

    Amidst the zing mes, countless de mantises could be seen desperately trying to escape but it was all futile; they were quickly struck down, one after the other, by individual jets of mes.

    It was impossible to deny that Qin Feng¡¯s actions were not overly dramatic.

    With Bai Li in front of him, he rode the umbra stallion, which galloped across a number of burning rice field plots. The mes were far from dying and God knows how many de mantises he had in in that area alone.

    Regardless, it never crossed Qin Feng¡¯s mind that this ce would be teeming with so many de mantises.

    Soon, a beast general of the de mantises, an F8-tier beast, made itself present in front of Qin Feng.

 Chapter 168 - Bafflement of Shi Tianhai

    <h4>Chapter 168: Bafflement of Shi Tianhai</h4>

    The beast general was arge fe, standing at almost two meters tall. Its bulging belly could easily fit two full-grown men inside. Its abdomen hung low, staying close to the ground which owing to its weight, slowed down the beast by a considerable margin.

    Inparison to the one Qin Feng bumped intost time at the hotel, this de mantis was multitudes stronger.

    After feasting continuously for the past few days, allowing it to further grow its strength, this de mantis possessed the potential to evolve into a king-tier enemy.

    Too bad, it crossed paths with Qin Feng.

    It was apparent that this beast general would beying its eggs soon. However, this process had been cut off by Qin Fengpletely annihting its nest which of course, agitated this de mantis to its limits.

    Rage as it might but that was not enough to interrupt Qin Feng¡¯s search and destroy mission.

    ¡°Wowee, look at what we¡¯ve got here! A diamond in the rough, I must say!¡±

    sping the Verdant Emperor Saber in hand, Qin Feng climbed off the umbra stallion. In the next instant, he dashed toward the female beast general with insane speed.

    Without hesitation, he started hacking away with the sword in hand.

    ng!

    If there were swordmasters among the insectoids, then the de mantises would be the pioneering species in perfecting this deadly art. It was precisely this reason that this particr group of insectoids was notorious for their ferocity.

    Qin Feng¡¯s strike was parried by the de mantis with ease!

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s attacks were rarely so simple.

    At this distance, Qin Feng was practically face-to-face with the great monster. From his point of view, a beam of red light could be seen shining on the de mantis¡¯s hardened neck

    A split secondter, the de mantis leaned back powerlessly and where the red light shone, a patch of charred flesh appeared. Even so, the beast general was far from dead.

    Qin Feng raised his arm and prepared to strike down once more but the de mantis too, raised its own scythe-like forelimbs and prepared to sh right into its enemy¡¯s neck.

    ¡°Phantom Maze!¡±

    Qin Feng avoided the beast general¡¯s attack and moved swiftly behind it. Then, the tip of the Verdant Emperor Saber emerged on the other side of its body, smack right at the center of the great mantis¡¯s belly.

    Splish!

    The saber sliced through the beast general as if it was nothing but a block of soft tofu. Qin Feng ripped arge opening on the de mantis¡¯s belly out of which oozed brown blood as well as hundreds of translucent eggs all of which were around the size of a human fist.

    ¡°Screech!¡±

    The de mantis wailed out in pain.

    Its body thrashed around violently but the more it moved, therger the hole in its belly became.

    Not wanting to waste anymore time, Qin Feng went in for the final blow. With a wave of the Verdant Emperor Saber which was apanied by a streak of burning mes, the de mantis was decapitated with one clean cut.

    It did not even take ten minutes for Qin Feng to wlessly bring down the enemy beast general. The speed at which the battle ended was terrifying to a great deal of regr human beings.

    Even Chi Long, who was observing the drone footage, was taken aback.

    He reflected, if it were up to him, how long would it take for him to bring down an F-tier beast king?

    It did not matter that he was an E-tier aptitude user. His speed, strength and all other aspects could barely match that of a beast general. Area effect weapons were of course an option but more often than not, there would not even be a single item left to collect after reducing the enemy into mere atoms. Gunners were reluctant to take part in such fruitless battles.

    What about the good ol¡¯ fashioned way of hunting these critters?

    ¡®Perhaps half an hour was needed?¡¯ Chi Long estimated. He could dash from hiding spot to hiding spot, using shoot and scoot tactics to bring down the enemy. After all, he was a gunner!

    Qin Feng was an ancient warrior. No, he was also an ability user.

    His speed was faster than the beast general, his swordsmanship, even more precise, and his strength far exceeded the opponent¡¯s.

    He was practically a hybrid between a human and an ultra beast!

    In the drone footage, Qin Feng had started an uncontroble wildfire that slowly engulfed the entire agricultural field.

    To start a fire of such a scale, the ability user was pretty much engaging in genocide against the lord of the ultra beasts.

    ¡°That man... who is he?¡± Chi Long murmured to himself. He could notprehend just where such a strong ability user came from. The ability user who also possessed skills of an ancient warrior.

    At the same time, Shi Tianhai, who was also in thebat operations room, looked at the drone feed with a look of amazement painted across his face.

    ¡°That man... he... his name is Qin Feng!¡± Shi Tianhai eximed.

    His brain churned a great deal before recalling the name that Liu Xue had uttered to him once. Back then, he was still wearing a G-tier aptitude user badge. He remembered that even then, he already possessed the powers of an F-tier user but due to sheer exhaustion from his work, Shi Tianhai paid no heed to the young man.

    Who would have thought that the next time they met, his powers would have grown by such a significant amount!

    Qin Feng¡¯s powers were simply too strong!

    Right at that moment, Shi Tianhai finally understood why Qin Feng was able to guide so many out of the fallen Han Town on his own. Alone, his strength matched that of hundreds of regr human beings.

    ¡°Qin Feng? Do we have any intel on him?¡± Chi Long replied hurriedly. ¡± For there to be such a strong ability user... with his strength, we can seriously recapture Han Town once and for all!¡±

    Hearing this, Shi Tianhai¡¯s emotions were stirred up. However, there was a lingering sense of despair in his heart.

    Based on Chi Long¡¯s words, he gathered that the sessful conquest of Han Town was never guaranteed, and the possibility of giving up on it had always been an option.

    If not for Qin Feng, would this nightmare turn into a reality?

    Fearing the worst, Shi Tianhai quickly replied, ¡°I¡¯ll go gather information on that man right this instant! One of my underlings should know a whole lot about him!¡±

    Chi Long nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t let him misunderstand our intent. We must approach him with the goal of peace in mind.¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡±

    They were going to get down on their knees and beg Qin Feng to lend them his strength!

    Still oblivious as to the happenings in the battle operations room, Qin Feng bent down to dig the crystal core of the beast general out of its nasty guts. Alongside hundreds of other mantis eggs, the core was stored into his spatial runic equipment.

    Without their mother¡¯s body, these eggs could not hatch. Though, if they did hatch, the hatchlings would fetch a price tenfold of what these eggs could at their highest.

    These eggs could at least serve as a high-protein snack for Qin Feng.

    After that was done, Qin Feng continued burning the fields, killing off the remnants of de mantises that escaped his previous wave of attacks.

    ¡°Halt!¡±

    Qin Feng stopped his Hellfire attack. The ground had been charred ck and not a single de of grass survived the fiery hell. Simrly, carbonised remains of de mantises littered thendscape, leaving behind their iron-tough forelimbs which were unscratched.

    Qin Feng lifted his eyes to see the drone hovering above him.

    In the operations room, Chi Long stared into Qin Feng¡¯s eyes. There, he took a deep breath and a feeling of awe finally set in.

    Within two hours, Qin Feng hadpletely burned down the agricultural fields alongside arge number of de mantises.

    The drone did not keep count of the bodies but there must have been at least a thousand dead mantises across the ground.

    This ability user was a force to be reckoned with.

    Perhaps, someday in the future, his powers could change the course of history!

    Chi Long ordered for the drone to withdraw from the battlefield. At the same time, he barked out an order, ¡°I don¡¯t want our drones spying on his every move but I want you all to focus on the areas he will move through. I want regr updates on those ces, understood?¡±

    ¡°Yes,mander!¡±

    The staff members replied respectfully.

    Noticing that the drone had left the scene, Qin Feng concluded that themander must be a sensible man.

    It was fine and all to oversee the battlefield but when it came to reaping rewards after the battle was over, Qin Feng often felt infringed if a drone were to remain floating above his head!

    These rewards not only brought about money but also one¡¯s bane.

    If the drone were to overstay its wee, Qin Feng would have no choice but to take the entire thing down!

    ¡°Scan the battlefield!¡±

    Qin Feng ordered.

    Riding the umbra stallion, Bai Li galloped across the fields. Where she flew past, the materials would all vanish into thin air. As the entire plot was not too big to begin with, Bai Li was done collecting the loot within five minutes!

    After storing the goodies into the spatial runic equipment, Qin Feng climbed onto the horse by grabbing onto Bai Li¡¯s waist. Once again, they resumed their journey into Han Town.

 Chapter 169 - Survivors

    <h4>Chapter 169: Survivors</h4>

    Upon entering Han Town itself, Qin Feng got his umbra stallion to start galloping, throwing off low-tier insectoids that tried to ambush them effortlessly.

    Instead of focusing on small fries like these fes, Qin Feng¡¯s time was worth much more trying to hunt down their higher-tier overlords.

    However, his seek and destroy mission had barely even started before hismunicator started beeping.

    [Survivor signal detected!]

    A tiny red dot appeared on the map of Han Town which popped up on themunicator¡¯s screen.

    With barely enough food, the resilient human beings would always find a way to survive underground for half a months¡¯ time, all while defending themselves against these bloodthirsty creatures.

    After all, they were raised amidst an apocalypse!

    For those born after doomsday, mandatory education would start at the age of six and end at sixteen¡ªten years¡¯ time worth of lessons on how to survive even the toughest conditions life could possibly throw at them.

    Because of the agricultural fields at the Northern entrance of Han Town, many aptitude users refused to even venture near this part, let alone save the poor souls trapped within this district.

    Qin Feng was no cold-blooded man. Gifted with such powers, he felt a moral obligation to save as many lives as he could.

    He directed the umbra stallion in the direction of the survivor¡¯s signal.

    ¡°Buzz Buzz Buzz¡±

    A cluster of low-tier insectoids were hot on Qin Feng¡¯s tail.

    As if that was not enough, a handful of bloodthirsty beetles appeared in the corner of his eyes but it was already toote¡ªthey too, hurled themselves relentlessly toward Qin Feng¡¯s horse.

    He was caught in a pincer attack!

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    With restraints on the extent of his attack, Qin Feng retaliated against his foolish attackers. In just a matter of minutes, these G-tier ultra beasts werepletely wiped out through his fiery attacks.

    Amidst the fiery hellscape, Qin Feng unsheathed the Verdant Emperor Saber and began decapitating the bloodthirsty beetles with single clean slices.

    To regr humans, Qin Feng¡¯s current position was the worst case scenario to be caught in but to him, it was merely like a walk in the park.

    Soon, Qin Feng arrived at the location where the signal wasing from, a store located right beside the road.

    Smack right in front of its entrance however, was a massive steel-back snail.

    It was just your run-of-the-mill F-tier steel-back snail but its strength, as many had learned, should never be underestimated!

    A bad feeling arose in Qin Feng¡¯s heart.

    He climbed off the umbra stallion, during which the steel-back snail had coincidentally started waking up from itszy slumber. Stretching out its squishy head, it tried to grab a bite out of Qin Feng.

    Without hesitation, he started hacking away at the darned snail.

    ¡°Sky Burning Sword Style!¡±

    A two meter long de sliced off the head of this steel-back snail even before it had the time to fight back.

    With a single kick, the headless carcass of this steel-back snail was shoved aside, allowing Qin Feng to enter the shop.

    [Remaining distance to the survivor: 35 meters!]

    The shop itself was not too big, hence it did not take long for Qin Feng to discover a trapdoor that led downward into a basement. However, the door was bolted shut from the inside.

    Thud! Thud! Thud!

    Qin Feng knocked on the door but the only response he received was dead silence.

    Fortunately, the structural integrity of this door was not military-grade. While it could withstand repeated attacks by the ultra beasts, it was easily torn down by Qin Feng¡¯s saber.

    Focusing all his internal strength on the de¡¯s body, Qin Feng sliced open the door in just a fraction of a second.

    As soon as the door was broken down, the metallic smell of blood rushed into Qin Feng¡¯s nasal cavity from the room below. Through the dim lighting of the room, Qin Feng could make out the skeleton-like body of a woman, whose eyes were half open, and nestled in her arms was a dying infant, who appeared to be at most two months old.

    Upon meeting Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, thedy¡¯s eyes lit up like the stars in the night sky.

    A single word floated into Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    Hope!

    Seeing thedy¡¯s eyes heavily reminded him of this word.

    ¡°Save... her...¡± Thedy said as she fruitlessly attempted to pass the child in her arms over to Qin Feng.

    He remained silent.

    Qin Feng stepped forward and rested his palms onto thedy¡¯s back. Then, he gathered a thick wave of internal strength and transfused it into thedy¡¯s body, making sure that her heart continued beating as well as to reinvigorate her copsing lungs.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll give her a proper burial.¡±

    Qin Feng replied.

    While the neo-humans of today had all been injected with an awakening potion, unlocking their body¡¯s potential, infants remained as fragile as ever!

    A regr human could survive for half a month¡¯s time with only the bare minimum but the same could not be said for children.

    It was obvious that thisdy, after finally reaching the conclusion that there was no longer any food around that she could forage, she tried feeding her child her own fresh blood but even that was an act of futility.

    This child had been dead for quite a while!

    Thedy kept silent. Then, it almost seemed as if she was about to cry but not a single tear was shed from her eyes.

    Qin Feng could not bear to see thedy suffer in her despair any longer. He led her out of the basement, back to Bai Li and the horse. In this post-apocalyptic world, tragedies were bound to ur but humans were the most resilient creatures to be able to face such changes and make the best out of it.

    As frail as this woman appeared to be, she managed to conjure up enough strength to support herself. Qin Feng passed a piece of bread and some water over to her, which she wolfed down hungrily in seconds. Soon, she regained enough strength to move around.

    Qin Feng handed her a pack of beast repelling powder and had her sprinkle the powder in their trail. She was even ordered to rub some all over her body.

    Afterwards, Qin Feng proceeded to sweep the streets as well as to check for any survivor signals, which there were. In just a single day, he managed to rescue more than eighty survivors from the jaws of death.

    Because of his focus on rescuing these survivors, the number of kills he achieved had dropped significantly from what he could manage the day before. However, he was able to clear twenty streets¡ªa higher number than his previous mission yesterday. Coupled with the bags of beast-repelling powder, these twenty streets were finally announced to be safe from the insectoids.

    The days were short during autumn; Qin Feng ended his battle rtively early today. Bringing two cars¡¯ worth of survivors out of Han Town, they made their return journey toward the provisional colony set up outside the active warzone.

    The merchants who were expecting Qin Feng¡¯s return surrounded the man right after he had entered thepound, all of them wanting to buy up whatever was in his hands.

    However, even before he could speak, another group of people rushed toward Qin Feng.

    The threatening aura of an E-tier aptitude user unconsciously sent chills up the spines of these men, who obediently stepped aside secondster.

    Right now, the only E-tier user of the Han Town provisional colony had arrived¡ªit was Chi Long.

    ¡°Mr Qin! Nice to meet you! My name¡¯s Chi Long. I am acting as the overallmander of the task force sent to retake Han Town!¡±

    Chi Long enthusiastically outstretched his arm to shake Qin Feng¡¯s hands.

    While his unexpected arrival certainly did stun Qin Feng, he politely shook themander¡¯s hand nheless.

    ¡°Honored to meet you, Sir!¡±

    ¡°Haha, no, it¡¯s my honor to meet you! I¡¯m here because I have witnessed firsthand, your powers, Mr Qin. I¡¯ve observed your progress in retaking the agricultural fields in the Northern district of Han Town and I¡¯vee here in hopes of cooperating with you. Lend us your strength and we will recapture Han Town together!¡±

    The drone from before instantly popped up in Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    So, the man that observed his fight was this Chi Long person.

    Themander¡¯s act during the final minutes of the fight gave Qin Feng a good impression.

    ¡°How would Commander Chi like to cooperate with me?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°This isn¡¯t the ce to discuss such matters. Come this way, Mr Qin. I already have dinner prepared. Let¡¯s talk about this over dinner!¡±

    Of course, Qin Feng would never turn down a free meal offered by someone of this position. Nodding his head, he agreed to themander¡¯s proposition. As for selling the goods he had gathered today, that would have to wait.

    Before leaving, Qin Feng gave Chi Long a reminder.

    ¡°These are the survivors I have just rescued from the town. I have no idea what to do with them. Commander, I hope you can do something to help these poor souls!¡±

    Confidently, Chi Long thumped his chest and made a promise. ¡°Jiang Chi, I need you to deal with this! Remember to make proper arrangements for them!¡±

    These were people rescued by Qin Feng himself. To let these people, who Qin Feng put in the effort to save, die of hunger or get pushed around would be the greatest sin they could evermit!

    Right now, what Chi Long needed the most was Qin Feng¡¯s help!

    With a disappointed expression, Jiang Chi had no choice but to respect the Commander¡¯s orders. How could he not be disappointed? He had to stay here and deal with these people who refused to die after being starved for weeks within Han Town and consequently, stank to high heaven while hismander left to enjoy a luxurious banquet.

 Chapter 170 - Cooperation

    <h4>Chapter 170: Cooperation</h4>

    It went without saying that feasts ordered by an E-tier aptitude user were usually more on thevish side of things. While Chi Long was an E-tier gunner, there was also a substantial amount of ¡°the good stuff¡± proudly disyed on the banquet table.

    The table was filled to the brim with intricately prepared food; dishes that would easily burn an arm-sized hole through any F-tier aptitude user¡¯s pocket.

    Even so, Qin Feng¡¯s expression remained unchanged, nor did he wolf down everythingid out in front of him.

    On the other hand, it was Bai Li that kept on stuffing her tiny mouth with seemingly unchewable bites of food.

    Chi Long¡¯s eyes moved over to Bai Li. More specifically, his gaze was fixated on her chest.

    Although he had not seen her in action today; Qin Feng bore most of the brunt for today¡¯s fight, but for this young girl to achieve the status of an F-tier user, Chi Long understood very well that she should never be underestimated!

    At a certain point after their dinner had started, upon seeing that Qin Feng had shifted his attention away from the food, Chi Long finally revealed his aim for tonight¡¯s discussion.

    ¡°I have observed that while Mr Qin hasn¡¯t participated in any group missions today, you have fared much better than the rest of the teams. Your strength is such that it has put me to shame. However, one man can only do so much, am I wrong?¡±

    Qin Feng, who was quietly listening to themander¡¯s every word replied with a nod. ¡°No, that¡¯s right. I understand what you¡¯re saying.¡±

    Of course, he understood what themander was saying. However, at this point, fighting in groups would only bog Qin Feng down whenever he wanted to attempt a swift retreat.

    Seeing that Qin Feng was not refuting his statement, Chi Long continued, ¡°I believe that we can achieve much greater if there were someone suitable to be paired with Mr Qin. Then, our chances of recapturing Han Town would be greater.¡±

    ¡°Pairing up?¡± Qin Feng raised an eyebrow.

    In the previous team that he participated in to encircle and suppress the enemy, the members were supposed to cooperate on the battlefield. In reality however, there were a great deal of men who were grossly ipetent.

    But pairing up with another was different from such a rag-tag team.

    ¡°That¡¯s right. I will hand-pick a team of men who will be fine-tuned to fight alongside Mr Qin. They will act as bait for the insectoids and only in the most precise conditions will Mr Qine out and finish off the enemy. This will speed up the process of our campaign by a significant margin. We will also create special task forces to deal with rescuing those who are still trapped within the town!¡±

    Even after hearing this, Qin Feng¡¯s brows furrowed.

    ¡°You guys are nning to use baiting tactics? Just who is going to be the bait? Don¡¯t tell me they¡¯re gonna be ordinary civilians!?¡±

    Such instances were not umon.

    So long as one could run, they would be qualified to work as bait. These people would shoulder the responsibility of attracting the insectoids to a designated area. To ensure maximum efficiency, it was best for them to have a fresh wound somewhere on their body, with blood exposed to the air. The smell of fresh blood from a living person was the perfect bait to lure these bloodthirsty critters into a trap.

    Chi Long¡¯s heart started racing as he could sense Qin Feng¡¯s mood going downhill.

    Fortunately, his tongue was quick, allowing him to turn the situation around. ¡°Of course not! We will be using aptitude users. It¡¯ll be much easier to use professionals after all!¡±

    Qin Feng was satisfied with themander¡¯s decision.

    In fallen colonies like Han Town, its survivors were extremely difficult to deal with. Some would in such instances,e up with the hical solution of sending these newly-rescued refugees off to the battlefield. Who cares if they were not fit for battle? Moving in groups of three to five, there was bound to be a casualty or two. The good-for-nothing refugees would then serve as a sponge to soak up the enemy¡¯s attacks instead of the real soldiers.

    To send the helpless out on such missions basically made them real suicide-squads. Though, if one wanted to bait the insectoids, specially-made machines would do the trick too.

    Qin Feng wanted to avoid such tragedies from happening.

    All he needed was a small team of aptitude users. That was enough.

    ¡°What about the rewards? How will they be divided?¡± asked Qin Feng.

    This meant that personal interests were involved as well!

    Chi Long¡¯s eyes lit up. From today alone, Qin Feng had wiped out a thousand de mantises. Not counting the beast general, that would already be over 20 million yuan.

    How much would clearing the entire Han Town be worth?

    For E-tier aptitude users dispatched to fight in ordinary battles, the gains reached upward of a few million yuan.

    For this mission, the rewards would be near uncountable.

    Chi Long was engrossed in thinking about the rewards when he was interrupted by Qin Feng¡¯s voice. ¡°Leave the fighting to me. Instead of fussing over this, It¡¯ll be easier for me to hire people to work with. I¡¯ll offer half a million yuan to gather recruits for the mission. Also, please get the top brass to fork out a bit as additionalpensation for these people. For those working the logistics to rescue Han Town¡¯s residents, I¡¯m offering a hundred thousand per person and ten thousand for ordinary civilians. I need your help in gathering some resources and the reward that follows the rescue attempt would be theirs to divide.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s words snapped Chi Long out of his reverie. Although he felt slightly pained about the lost chance to profit, hearing Qin Feng¡¯s exnation, he could see clearly the man¡¯s noble intentions.

    Chi Long courteously scooped another bowl of fancy pottage for his guest. He did so with utmost caution, fearing that he would stir up Qin Feng¡¯s anger.

    It appeared that not only would Chi Long lose the chance to profit off this mission, he would also have to hand out some reward to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Aye! We¡¯ll do as Mr Qin says!¡± Chi Long responded.

    ¡°I will deal with the recruits myself! That way, Commander won¡¯t be tied down too much! Still, I hope that you¡¯ll provide us some support in the form of military equipment and the likes.¡±

    ¡°That won¡¯t be a problem! Apologies for troubling you, Mr Qin!¡±

    The discussion drew to an end with Qin Feng making the final decision instead of the Commander.

    After dinner had ended, Qin Feng left the battle operation headquarters and arrived at a spot just outside the building to sell the loot he had gathered today.

    They sparsely littered the ground and despite them looking like your average loot, they yielded Qin Feng a profit of over 20 million yuan.

    Qin Feng¡¯s gains for today did not just end there. Chi Long also made sure to add his kills for today to his battle record, which allowed him to leap up the list of elite users. His achievements now topped that of the people who had arrived at Han Town a week prior.

    After he was done with that, Qin Feng finally made his way back to Zhou Hao¡¯s team.

    ¡°Qin Feng, why did Commander Chi ask to see you?¡± Zhou Hao questioned.

    While Chi Long was merely an insignificant character in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, growing up in the colony of Chengbei, the strongest man, Mayor Zheng Yang was also just another E-tier user, not to mention the famous Deng Nian who also stood shoulder-to-shoulder with both of the aforementioned.

    ¡°We discussed clearing Han Town¡¯s streets. Instead of participating in tomorrow¡¯s operation, how about following me?¡±

    It was better to keep the benefits to one¡¯s own people. Qin Feng knew this well and did not wish for his friends to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. While Zhou Hao and his team were not able to fight high-tier monsters alone, they possessed enough stamina to outrun these monsters.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Zhou Hao saw no issues with Qin Feng¡¯s proposition. Zhang Tianche and Zhao Yu also wanted in on Qin Feng¡¯s n. Lu Meng, a member of their small team, was also blessed with the chance to participate in this mission.

    And so, with the addition of Wang Chen and Bai Li, they had formed a six-man bait team.

    Yet another noise-filled night passed. Come the next morning, prepared by Chi Long and waiting for them were a handful of hoverboards, arge truck and a buffed-up bus. This was the technical support which the Commander was able to offer to Qin Feng.

    Standing outside the door of the battle operations room, Qin Feng issued his orders.

    It did not take too long before arge group of ordinary civilians had gathered in front of Qin Feng.

    From their perspective, Qin Feng was nothing but a walking money bag!

    ¡°Mr Qin! Pick me!¡±

    ¡°Pick me Mr Qin! I¡¯m gonna die from starvation soon! I¡¯m not nning to llive on any longer if you don¡¯t pick me!¡±

    ¡°Mr Qin! Mr Qiiiin!¡±

    Qin Feng cleared his throat. Focusing internal strength into his voice, his orders boomed like the eruption of thunder.

    ¡°I want twenty ordinary civilians! I want those who I¡¯ve pointed out to step forward! I don¡¯t want to hear your protests! Do you think I¡¯m operating a charity?¡±

    At that moment, the crowd stared silently at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes scanned the crowd like a predator.

    ¡°You! You! And you too!¡±

    While the people who Qin Feng had selected appeared ragged, they were at the very least, physically fit. He paid no heed to their gender. Even if their mission was as simple as gathering loot, they would need to possess enough strength to haul supplies around, hence the importance of one¡¯s physical condition.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes scanned the crowd the second time. Suddenly, his eyes stopped at the weak woman he had rescued the day before.

    After only a day¡¯s time, this woman appeared to have recovered most of her strength. The only part reminiscent of her previous condition was her soulless thousand-yard stare.

    ¡°You! What¡¯s your name!?¡± Qin Feng boomed.

 Chapter 171 - Joint Victory

    <h4>Chapter 171: Joint Victory</h4>

    The woman was visibly stunned when Qin Feng called out to her. Realising that she was not mistakenly called, the woman quickly replied. ¡°My name is Shang Xian!¡±

    Qin Feng responded with a nod. Producing an energy ster, he tossed it over to the woman.

    ¡°You will supervise them. You and your team will be responsible for clearing out supplies!¡±

    Shang Xian was shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s decision but she nodded nheless.

    ¡°Understood!¡±

    Skilfully, she wrapped her hands around the ster¡¯s grip. Little by little, her posture changed upon receiving the weapon.

    Satisfied, Qin Feng nodded his head.

    No doubt, Shang Xian appeared as frail as a twig. From the perspective of an observer, Qin Feng¡¯s decision was basically a helping hand reaching out to her. So much for ¡°not running a charity¡±.

    However, there was a perfectly rational reason behind Qin Feng¡¯s decision.

    Shang Xian was someone whom Qin Feng had personally rescued from her imminent death. It followed that she would feel a sense of obligation out of pure gratitude toward him.

    Such a person would in most cases, show extreme loyalty to Qin Feng and would definitely take her job seriously.

    While Shang Xian was no aptitude user, her physique was not weak either. Her rapid recovery from the day before was the best testament to this.

    Aftering back to camp, Qin Feng made some enquiries and from there, he learnt that Shang Xian ran the store in which she was rescued. Her husband was an aptitude user from Han Town but it was likely that he had met his demise out in the streets.

    Considering how depressing her current situation was, Shang Xian must have been a capable person to be able to push forward. At the very least, Qin Feng was sure that her management skills could be relied upon.

    The ordinary civilians boarded the huge bus and one of the few who could drive was assigned to operate the vehicle.

    There was another group of people, all aptitude users from Fengli colony led by Wang Chen. Their numbers were not something you would boast about, with ten or so team members. This group was the designated reserve team, dispatched in case of any emergencies to rescue frontline teams in distress.

    These aptitude users too, boarded the bus. Now that everyone was on board, Qin Feng and Bai Li climbed onto the umbra stallion. They led the way and advanced swiftly into Han Town¡¯s Northern district.

    After yesterday¡¯s massacre, coupled with the beast-repelling powder scattered all across the streets, this area was safer than it ever was. Fighting from this spot, there was at least guarantee that the people under Qin Feng would stay safe from any ambushes.

    In the fallen Han Town, one night was all it took for the signs of insectoid activity to surface.

    Standing in the middle of a wide street, Qin Feng waited patiently for the iing battle.

    Soon, the traces of a hoverboard could be seen hurtling toward him from afar.

    Apart from that, in the narrow alleys that branched off of the main street, he could observe shadows dashing here and there¨Cit was Zhou Hao and his men.

    Behind them were at least thirty to forty hungry insectoids.

    Hot on their tails, these insectoids reached out as far as they could, as if they were about to tear the people into hundreds of tasty morsels.

    In order to enhance the effectiveness of their baiting tactic, Zhou Hao ordered his men to bring a piece of fresh meat with them. Though, it was not human flesh which the insectoids were so keen on having. Instead, it was a giant field rat they had just hunted earlier this morning.

    The smell of fresh blood caught the attention of these insectoids just as they had nned. Unbeknownst to these buggy critters, they were heading straight into a hellish trap.

    Zhou Hao and his team arrived beside Qin Feng, whose position was already encircled by a sea of insectoids.

    Without hesitation, Qin Feng unleashed his attack.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    Like a carpet, the ground was covered by ayer of fire, turning the sea of insectoids into a sea of mes.

    The frontmost insectoid hurled itself at Qin Feng, thinking that it was about to bring down the mastermind of their demise.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    ¡°Repulsion!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion created a force field around them, sending the surrounding insectoids flying back where they came from.

    Then, countless deadly fragments came raining down, which Zhou Hao and his men shielded the rest of the team against. Lu Meng¡¯s urate rifle fire also proved to be an incredibly useful asset out on the battlefield.

    Hundreds of these insectoids were wiped out within the first few minutes. Some stragglers left around ground zero attempted to escape but were hunted down and finished off by Wang Chen, Bai Li and the other aptitude users.

    ¡°The clearing process isplete. Let the ones from the backe over!¡±

    Qin Feng spoke into hismunicator.

    ¡°Yes, Mr Qin!¡± Shang Xian replied briefly. Right after that, one of the vehicles was driven into the freshly-cleared street.

    ¡°You guys go rescue the trapped ones!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Wang Chen, as well as the aptitude users from Fengli colony all looked at Qin Feng with admiration.

    They were awed by Qin Feng¡¯s power. Upon witnessing the battle, they had nothing but respect for the man.

    If they were to follow him as the leader of their colony, their glory in the future was pretty much guaranteed.

    While Qin Feng offered them a hundred thousand yuan as an initial fee for the mission, there were still going to be rewards from rescuing survivors as well as finishing off the asional straggler or two. That was more than enough to fill up their pockets.

    A good analogy for this was Qin Feng having steak while they drank nothing but soup. Even so, this soup was already more than they could ever ask for.

    In fact, they felt that the mission that was currently being conducted was not even something that an E-tier aptitude user could handle.

    Using this tactic, it was not even half an hour before they had cleared up a main road as well as the surrounding buildings and connected streets.

    At this rate, it would only take them at most, another three to four days before the Northern district of Han Town could be dered safe.

    In just a day¡¯s time, Qin Feng and his team managed to clear eighty five streets and at least five smallmunity pockets.

    One should keep in mind that this was no longer the outskirts of Han Town; this was the heart of the insectoid territory. Their speed was on par, if not, faster than a three to four hundred man clearing team.

    Before night fell, Qin Feng¡¯s clearing mission had reached its final stage.

    ¡°We don¡¯t need to return to the provisional camp for tonight. Look for a hotel to hole up in. Blow a whistle when you find a suitable one. After all, this entire ce¡¯s been cleared!¡±

    Even though Han Town had fallen into the insectoids¡¯ hands for more than ten days, living here was much morefortable than the dreaded provisional colony!

    ¡°Oh God! This feels like heaven! I don¡¯t think I can return to my hardwood bed back at the camp!¡± Lu Meng eximed.

    Even the ordinary civilians who participated in today¡¯s mission agreed to stay in the town.

    It took just a single day for them to build this level of trust toward Qin Feng.

    So what if Han Town had fallen? It would not be long before the day they would recapture their home.

    In the team, only Wang Chen was tasked with selling the materials they had gathered earlier today back at the camp. Though, special-grade materials like beast general items were left with the team instead of being sold off. These would, in the future, be stored into Fengli colony¡¯s inventory.

    In the ten or more days toe, Qin Feng and his team remained within the interiors of Han Town. Receiving a constant inflow of aptitude users as reinforcement from the headquarters, they managed to turn the tide of war in a rtively short amount of time.

    Together with his team, Qin Feng managed to liberate both the Northern district as well as a majority of the Western district.

    They had also freed up the Central district where the density of insectoids was the highest.

    This territory used to be upied by a fertile Steel-limb Broodmother, hence the cksteel ants were nowhere to be found. Now that there were no queen-tier monsters around this ce, this area posed little to no threat to the group as Qin Feng wiped it clean.

    Instead, it was the anthill of the Eastern district that was a brewing disaster.

    On this day, the countdown for the liberation of Han Town had started!

    Buzz!

    A blinding ray of silver was released as the space stabilising device rose into the air, patching up the spatial rift in a matter of seconds.

    The crack hanging in the sky above Han Town had finally gone away!

    Everyone around wore a big satisfied smile regardless of whether they were the residents of Han Town or volunteering aptitude users.

    The liberation of Han Town had entered its final phase.

    The only one with knitted brows then, was the Commander, Chi Long.

    On the second day, Chi Long made his announcement. ording to his n, WMDs* were to be used topletely annihte the anthill.

    This implied that after the campaign, Han Town would have arge piece ofnd which was unusable for hundreds of generations toe!

    In the areas surrounding the anthill, a colossal ring was made with beast-repelling powder, apanied by a team of sappers building fortifications.

    ¡°Hurry up!¡±

    The aptitude users urged. There were at least a thousand ordinary civilians, all shouldering sandbags that were used topletely encircle the anthill. The diameter of this fortified ring was a whole three hundred meters across.

    In spots where buildings were present, these buildings were integrated into the ring. Where no buildings were present, they built a primitive but sturdy wall using whatever scraps they managed to find.

    Aptitude users who possessed earth, metal and wood-based abilities all came in to help reinforce the protective circle too.

 Chapter 172 - Encircle and Annihilate the Anthill

    <h4>Chapter 172: Encircle and Annihte the Anthill</h4>

    Two dayster, the wall surrounding the anthill was finallypleted. Today, the anthill was still calm, but nobody really knew what would happen next!

    ¡°Pour energy liquid!¡±

    ¡°Prepare the istion web!¡±

    ¡°Ordinary civilians retreat!¡±

    ¡°Gunners, ability users, get ready!¡±

    ¡°Await the signal!¡±

    Onemand came after the other.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li stood on top of arge tower and looked down at the anthill below. It appeared as if the anthill had been ced inside arge bowl.

    Beside them stood Chi Long, straight like a pole, and in front of him was a huge crystal energy cannon, emitting a dim blue glow under the sunlight. However, the most dazzling thing was not the huge fortress machine, but the bombshell propped up next to it.

    The shell projected a silvery halo in the sunlight, with a missile more than two meters high and thirty centimeters in diameter. The weapon was made using a beast king energy crystal. Though it was not madepletely out of one single energy crystal core, but one core that had been split to produce several bombshells, it was still extremely extravagant.

    The E-tier beast king crystal core was worth at least 300 million.

    ¡°Hey, I¡¯m not sure if this is a loss or a gain at this time. I¡¯m only left with this baby over here,¡± Chi Long said with a dejected huff.

    ¡°There will always be gains!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°You¡¯re not wrong, dragging this on isn¡¯t good for anyone. Best to pick up the pace!¡± Chi Long smiled.

    Thanks to Qin Feng¡¯s aid, Han Town had recovered very quickly. Once the anthill was dealt with then Chi long would definitely receive a reward from the higher ups, maybe something even better than the shell.

    Thinking of this, Chi Long made up his mind and ced the shell inside the giant gun, aimed it toward the anthill and injected his consciousness into the entire shell.

    ¡°Fire!¡±

    In the next moment, Chi Long pulled the trigger and the shell flew out into the sky. He maintained his previous posture, his consciousness was like a whirlwind, the surplus powering from it was breathtaking.

    The shell reached high up, three hundred meters into the sky as it reached its apex before moving like its directions had suddenly been reversed, plummeting toward the ground!

    It was getting faster and faster! Not only that, the warhead of the shell began to spin quickly. The force of the rotation made this shell like an excavator, rapidly falling and drilling into thend below.

    This design was used against the gargantuan ultra behemoths, you could drill into their hides or scales and detonate the shell inside to cause even greater damage.

    The defense of the gravel hill was nothing like the outer hides of ultra behemoths! The shell prated twenty meters into the ground in the blink of an eye!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness followed this artillery shell and explored downward, getting shocked by the number of ants inside the anthill.

    Thirty meters! Forty meters!

    This distance was strenuous for Chi Long! It still had not reached the bottom of the nest. This made Chi Long¡¯s face drain of all its color, it seemed like the day¡¯s affairs would not be resolved so smoothly.

    He gritted his teeth, and Chi Long suddenly mobilized his spirit!

    ¡°Burst!¡±

    What came next was a loud explosion, and after that the earth roared.

    Boom!

    The huge vibration came from the center of therge bowl, spreading outward like a wave.

    People who had been evacuated to a distance of thousands of kilometers away were knocked off their feet. Even the ordinary people who were several more kilometers away felt the effects and were knocked to the ground.

    It was like an earthquake.

    This kind of power was too great!

    Not only that, the surrounding buildings suddenly copsed in a chain reaction. The hills in the big bowl were filled with smoke. As the huge wave was sent out, all of the affected creatures were smashed into pieces in an instant.

    This attack, from what it looked like, must have killed tens of thousands of normal ants and even injured their queen

    Dust that rolled out made it impossible for people to see clearly.

    ¡°The northern defensive position has copsed, head over there now!¡±

    ¡°Wind ability users activate your powers!¡±

    ¡°Water ability users, rainfall! Extinguish the smoke!¡±

    ¡°Hurry and find better terrain!¡±

    The aptitude users inmand shouted out their respective orders.

    The building that Qin Feng and the others were on were also within the effects of the vibration but there were very few people on it and they were all strong. They could use their internal force or consciousness to activate Void Hop in order to evade the shaking on the ground.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li sat steadily on the umbra stallion, feeling the water and wind ability users disperse the surrounding dust, but Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had not left the big bowl-like encirclement.

    ¡°We¡¯re heading off, Commander Chi!¡± Qin Feng said, looking serious.

    Chi Long used a lot of his energy to control the weapon and he was bad when it came to meleebat, so he nodded. ¡°Be careful!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Qin Feng responded, urging the umbra stallion, and with a few jumpsnded on the high fortifications below.

    Once the dust in therge bowl had been settled, it looked like the anthill had been sted into a tnd. Due to the crushing destructive force, it had be an almost desert-like sandy beach. Each piece of gravel seemed to have been crystalized and were emitting a transparent light*. Under the sun, the scene looked magnificent.

    It was very beautiful!

    This beauty was soon broken.

    A patch of gravel sank downward, and arge hole soon appeared. Then came a scratching sound as arge cksteel ant crawled out of the hole.

    It was as if a signal was sent out as dozens of holes began to open up on the golden beach. Then, a dense wave of cksteel ants crawled out, quickly gathering like a dark carpet.

    This carpet was extremely angry and wanted to rip everything in its path into shreds.

    ¡°Kill them!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t let them over the wall!¡±

    ¡°Fight! Fight fiercely!¡±

    People roared out, knocking the ants that had reached the top of the fortifications back down into the iing mass, but the cksteel ants were like a tidal wave, it was like they were going to flood the ce.

    It was terrifying!

    People could afford little courage in the face of this number of insects.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was mobilized and his power erupted, falling to the edge of the big bowl. The edge of the bowl was covered with energy fluid, the moment Qin Feng¡¯s mesnded the fluid ignited and a wave of heat broke out along the edge of the bowl, sweeping through the ranks of the insectoids.

    Bzzzt!

    The mes roasted the insectoids, causing them to produce a sharp, meaty sounding pop.

    After Qin Feng took action, the other fire ability users also followed suit,unching fireballs to ignite the edge. The spots that were not ignited before were set aze by gunners sting energy liquid barrels at it.

    The raging fire surrounded the insectoidspletely, making it difficult for them to escape.

 Chapter 173 - The Golden Queen Ant

    Chapter 173: The Golden Queen Ant

    However, the number of the ants was way too much!

    One by one, the carcasses were reced by new ant beasts that used the fallen ones as stepping stones to pile higher. Except for Qin Feng¡¯s side, the insects had begun to cross the ring of fire!

    ¡°Why! Why are there so many of them?¡±

    ¡°This is terrible!¡±

    ¡°No! Get away from me! Damn bugs!¡±

    The people cried out while the ancient warriors rushed out to engage the iing insectoids, opting to hold the tide of insectoids back with their own bodies.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡± Qin Fengunched his hellfire at the gravel, covering the bottom of the bowl of fortification which would kill additional cksteel ants as they crawled out of the holes, greatly reducing the pressure everyone had on the surface.

    This method seemed to solve everyone¡¯s immediate need. Soon, firearms opened up and came down like a pouring rainstorm, every aptitude user sent out their strongest attack at the anthill.

    Ratatatatata!

    Bang bang bang!

    Ka-boom!

    It was non-stop ughtering, everyone¡¯s field of vision was filled with the grim visage of the cksteel ants.

    At this time, from the gravel shrouded by hellfire, a huge hole appeared at the centermost point! The cave was two meters wide and in the next moment a bright golden light emerged. Not only that, on this ant¡¯s back were a pair of dragonfly wings as thin as a cicada¡¯s that quickly spread open in the air.

    The creature was more than two meters wide and four meters long. Although it was much smaller than the Steel-limb Broodmother, for human beings, this terrible thing was the size of a truck.

    ¡°Golden Queen Ant!¡±

    Although the previous data showed that the ant¡¯s nest had been advancing very quickly and it would have been very likely that a beast king tier queen ant would have been spawned, it was still shocking to see its emergence.

    It was at least an F5-tier Golden Queen Ant, not to mention, it also had a very scary ability. It could fly!

    As if it had realized the situation outside, the Golden Queen Ant flew out, mming its truck-sized body forward and knocking over those standing on the fortifications.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    One aptitude user cried out in horror as they tripped over and fell off the fortifications, into the bowl.

    At this time the inside of the bowl was not just on fire, but it was also packed with a seemingly endless number of cksteel ants. Almost instantly the ck wave converged on their point of interest and what could be briefly seen was stripped to the bones.

    Then, in the blink of an eye, even the bones were gone!

    It was at that moment that everyone near the former aptitude user retreated in a panic! The firepowering from that direction weakened significantly and a group of cksteel ants charged forward, following the footsteps of their queen.

    ¡°Don¡¯t let them get away!¡± Shi Tianhai roared and he rushed forward, the weapon in his hand mming hard against the body of the Golden Queen Ant.

    ng!

    There was the sound of metal impacting against one another, but there was no trace of damage on the queen¡¯s body. The queen looked sideways at Shi Tianhai and stretched out a thick insect leg, kicking at Shi Tianhai¡¯s body.

    Boom!

    It was like kicking a pebble away. Shi Tianhai was sent flying a long distance away.

    ¡°Puh!¡± He spat out blood as he crashed, fortunately he crashed outside otherwise he would have turned out like the previous aptitude user that fell into the bowl.

    Then, a roaring sound broke through the skies as a yellow, shrieking shell soared over and crashed directly into the queen¡¯s body.

    Boom!

    The huge shell exploded, the powerful force knocked the Golden Queen Ant over the fortifications.

    ¡°Skreee!¡±

    Rolling through the smoke, the Queen let out an angry screech before pping her wings like how a fly would and buzzed at high speed toward one of the tall buildings.

    The one who attacked her was the E-tier Gunner, Chi Long!

    Chi Long stayed calm, unleashing another volley of gunfire at the queen and managed to knock the queen down. The queen was very fast, in just the blink of an eye she was already very close to him. Chi Long frowned, quickly hopping off the building as his gilding wings opened up behind him.

    His speed was obviously not as fast as the queen¡¯s.

    Buzzzz!

    Three cannonballs shot out to intercept, forcing the queen into a retreat!

    Chi Long dropped to the ground, controlling his consciousness as small metal balls appeared one after another, surrounding him. These balls either flew in the air or fell to the ground as Chi Long rushed forward.

    The Golden Queen Ant gave chase, directly crashing into the small ball and in the next moment it was like plunging your hand into an angry ho¡¯s nest. The small ball exploded, and dense purple shes of light enveloped the queen.

    sma Ball!

    The Queen was shocked with so much electricity that its body began to convulse uncontrobly!

    Undoubtedly, Chi Long was powerful, and hisbat ability was not weak. However, at this time, he was facing off a Golden Queen Ant with extremely high vitality!

    Seeing Qin Feng take on a beast general earlier, Chi Long evaluated that it would take himself about half an hour to take out an F-tier beast general with his own strength.

    And now he was facing down a beast king.

    Chi Long estimated that he only had approximately ten minutes and realized that he was not going to be able to help himself. His consciousness was about to dry up and he had used up half of his spatial rune equipment.

    He definitely could not go on like this!

    At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Chi Long. It was a young girl in a white dress. If it were not for the silver light emanating from the white dress, many people would have thought that the girl was insane.

    Such a costume in the battlefield was a death wish! Yet nobody would dare question the girl, on her chest she carried an F-tier aptitude user badge.

    Chi Long was a little surprised when he saw the girl arrive but he did not gain much hope from it.

    ¡°Miss Bai, be careful! Just impede it for a bit!¡± Chi Long called out, he nned to ce down another machine, but the assembly would take time.

    He was hoping that Bai Li would buy him some time.

    However, he would find his heart almost leaping to his throat very soon. Bai Li did not try to evade or hide, she was just watching the queen rush toward her.

    ¡°Move!¡± Chi Long roared, starting to feel a little bit frustrated.

    If it could not be blocked, then hide, standing still was just asking for trouble!

    Just as Chi Long was about to rush forward to save Bai Li, he saw that just as the Golden Queen Ant¡¯s truck-sized body had just about reached his side, Bai Li had already thrown a punch toward it.

    Bai Li¡¯s hands were pink, delicate looking and she had extremely slender wrists but it was this appearance that gave people a shocking image.

    Crack!

    A crack appeared on the queen¡¯s head. That was the strongest part of the Golden Queen Ant¡¯s body and could break throughrge hills. It was prime material. Yet, under Bai Li¡¯s punch, it got fractured.

    Not only that, the force of the punch blew the queen outward and toward a building!

    Boom!

    The queen burst through the other side of the building before it started scrambling away!

    From its frantic escape, it was clearly a full on retreat!

 Chapter 174 - Bai Li Attacks!

    <h4>Chapter 174: Bai Li Attacks!</h4>

    ¡°Trying to escape?¡± Bai Li let out a tinklingugh. High heels lightly tapping on the ground, her whole body moved faster than the Golden Queen Ant did, almost instantly catching up with her fleeing target.

    Meanwhile, Chi Long, who stayed in ce, swallowed hard on his own saliva as he suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.

    When he looked at Bai Li again, that feeling of dread could not be hidden!

    Bai Li was absolutely terrifying!

    ¡°Commander Chi, are you alright?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s voice crackled from themunicator. Since the previous battle, the higher rankmunicators had been connected using the regionalwork!

    ¡°Well, I¡¯m fine... that... your girlfriend, that Bai girl! She saved me!¡± Chi Long¡¯s words were obviouslyced with hesitation. He really did not expect that Bai Li would be so powerful.

    Qin Feng had long expected this. If Bai Li could not handle the Golden Queen Ant then that would have been the joke of the day! She was an E-tier beast king, stronger than the Golden Queen Ant!

    ¡°Have Bai Li handle it. Commander Chi, if you¡¯re still in good condition thene over to support us at the anthill. There are too many of them and we are taking heavy losses!¡±

    ¡°Okay! I¡¯ll head back immediately!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at the battle in front of him. After the queen left, the cksteel ants all wanted to keep up. Some of the beast generals that had the ability to fly naturally also flew out.

    The people besieging the ce did not all have F-tier capabilities. Under the oppressing dark tide of the cksteel ants, G-tier aptitude users were no more than paste. One hit would have sent them flying with broken bones and littering viscera.

    The interception at this time really was handled by the flesh and blood from the bodies, using the sheer number of people tobat the swarm.

    Qin Feng struck the intersection, continuously releasing Hellfire Carpet and shing at the asional beast general with the Verdant Emperor Saber, but there was still no way to make up for the losses.

    Fortunately, Chi Long had finally arrived.

    Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

    A bunch of crimson cannonballs wasunched, exploding into a ze of mes as it impacted the ground, and the surrounding temperature raised significantly.

    Incineration burst shots!

    Enveloped in mes, the cksteel ants were quickly charred into ashes. This was an E-tier gunner attack, it was like using a cannon to fight mosquitoes.

    Of course, after this battle, Chi Long definitely would not be able to recover from the cost of those!

    Qin Feng¡¯s abilities came one after the other. From the beginning, he had not stopped for a few hours. The other aptitude users of G to F tiers could not maintain their consciousnesses and had retreated to a safe ce or started taking turns to continue the flow of battle!

    They saw the way Qin Feng fought and only wanted to say that it was not something normal people did. This kind of fighting power was what an evildoer would have!

    The insectoids that Qin Feng killed became more and more and he felt that his strength was getting stronger and stronger. In the previous days of cleansing, Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength had already reached F9-tier. Now, as the cksteel ants were being in, his body was getting more and more powerful, even his bones felt like they were getting tougher.

    He did not know just how many cksteel ants inside the fortifications were killed.

    The ants that Chi Long¡¯s bombardment killed off were not absorbed by Qin Feng¡¯s absorption ability, but the ones that cameter, even if they were not killed by him, had their energy flown into Qin Feng.

    It was like arge invisible mouth constantly slurping up surrounding energies and strengthening Qin Feng. With so much energy gathering, Qin Feng felt his body tremble.

    This trembling formed into a powerful wave, it was a kind of dangerous aura.

    People called this kind of aura prestigious pressure!

    Under this kind of prestigious pressure, the nearby aptitude users looked at Qin Feng with shocked expressions on their faces, they could not even breathe. Their bodies were doubled over in a seemingly state of worship.

    ¡°E tier!¡±

    ¡°Mr Qin advanced into E-tier!¡±

    ¡°Is this... is this the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?¡±

    Combat was indeed the best and strongest motivator. Many people had found that after an insane battle, they were more powerful. Whether it was cultivation or physical strength, they would have gotten stronger.

    In such a situation, people would call it mortalityprehension.

    It was said that in constant battle, the bodies of those who had awakened would secrete a special enzyme to strengthen itself. Still, a breakthrough in the midst of a battle was rare.

    Those who saw the cksteel ants surrounding Qin Feng felt that this was no coincidence! He had worked hard enough and in plenty. Qin Feng¡¯s powers were the return after giving so much.

    Qin Feng felt the power surge through his body and could not help but smile. He finally reached E tier!

    At this time, the cksteel ants on the battlefield had begun to thin out,bined with the E-tier gunner, Chi Long, the clean up was even faster. However, now when an F-tier cksteel ant dies, the energy integrated into Qin Feng¡¯s body bes weaker.

    It was not the energy that was weak, Qin Feng now needed to strengthen his body in order to increase his capacity, to make itrger!

    After reaching E tier, the process would be longer before the next breakthrough. Some people would not even be able to reach D tier within their lifetime.

    In Chengbei colony, there were only a small handful of people that had managed to reach D tier, and due to resource constraints, the amount of time they spent in order to reach that tier was terrifying!

    Ten years!

    Therefore, E-tier aptitude users usually became the upper ss of a colony, not only due to their strength but also because the path to promotion was very difficult which led them to focus on other directions in order to obtain tier-up resources.

    The aptitude user that had reached D-tier within ten years was also once in Chengbei colony, he served as its mayor for eight years before leaving the colony!

    However, Qin Feng might break the record in the future. After all, his tier-ups were unlike everyone else¡¯s!

    It seemed as if the situation was slowlying under control, but there was a loud rumbling sound in the distance. A huge golden-shaped figure crashed onto the streets, it was so big but those watching felt like they were looking at a broken doll!

    When everyone saw the huge figure, they were all unconsciously trembling, terrified as they wanted to run away from the scene. Only, the second nce told them that the entity was dying!

    The Golden Queen Ant¡¯s body was battle scarred, the golden ant shell was covered in cracks and even some snowy-white ant meat was exposed. It looked appetizing, like a cooked crab with its flesh seen under its cracked shell.[1]

    Bai Li, wearing her high heels and white dress, casually walked up beside the queen, but the queen¡¯s eyes reflected horror. In the next moment, the queen bowed its head, crawling in front of Bai Li as if asking for mercy.

    Those who saw the scene could not believe their eyes. They had no idea what just happened, but now the situation was crystal clear.

    The Golden Queen Ant was actually defeated by Bai Li.[2]

    In Bai Li¡¯s hands were a pair of dragonfly-like wings, three meters long and three meters wide. Those used to be the wings on the Golden Queen Ant¡¯s back.

    [1] Not sure how an ant is appetizing, I¡¯m adding this in as addition description.

    [2] Well that is what we trope-knowers call a ¡®Offscreen Badass Moment¡¯ Real talk. I wish the chapter focused on Bai Li more.

 Chapter 175 - Iâ€™ll Buy This beast king!

    <h4>Chapter 175: I¡¯ll Buy This beast king!</h4>

    ¡°Nice! I can make this into a gold-colored skirt!¡±

    Bai Li nodded with satisfaction. The thought of a golden gauze skirt did sound very appealing. She set her eyes on the Golden Queen Ant, no longer regarding the other as a beast king but fabric waiting to be cut at any time.

    ¡°Bai Li!¡± Qin Feng yelled, making Bai Li stop as she stepped forward.

    ¡°Don¡¯t kill it!¡± He urged.

    ¡°Oh! Okay!¡± Bai Li remembered that Qin Feng had to absorb energy every time. With this thought, she stayed her hand, instead she reached out to grab the Golden Queen Ant with both her hands by the antennae, dragging it in front of Qin Feng.

    Boom!

    The Queennded on a defensiveyer made out of a pile of sandbags, kicking up a cloud of dust. Bai Li then asked, ¡°Can I kill it now?¡±

    Qin Feng quickly stopped Bai Li and used his consciousness to examine the Golden Queen Ant¡¯s body.

    At this time, the Golden Queen Ant was covered in wounds, its consciousness was blurry and extremely weak. The aura it exuded gave off the idea of surrender.

    This was a rare situation. Most ultra beasts would rather fight to the death than surrender.

    Now, the object that the Golden Queen Ant submitted to was not human, it was instead a three-tailed white fox, E-tier beast king Bai Li.

    However, no matter who it submitted to, whatever the next matter was, it would not be up for the Golden Queen Ant to decide!

    ¡°Zhou Hao!¡± Qin Feng loudly called out.

    ¡°What is it? Madman!¡± Zhou Hao¡¯s body was bloodied from the fighting in Han Town and experiencing multiple life and death situations. Due to that his tier-ups had been quick as well, and he had now reached the tier of G8 as an ancient warrior.

    After all, Zhou Hao was not short on resources right now and his talent was also powerful, so his progress would be faster than the rest. While it was notparable to the viinous amount that Qin Feng had, Zhou Hao was a Talent-ss individual.

    ¡°What¡¯s your consciousness level?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Since Zhou Hao had eaten the conscious fruit, he would have more to spare even after using firearms. He could even snatch objects from a distance!

    Of course, without special training, Qin Feng could not be certain of the exact details.

    ¡°Probably G5-tier as a gunner!¡± Zhou Hao was not sure himself.

    ¡°That should be enough!¡± Qin Feng nodded and took out some energy crystals, quickly drawing up a consciousness contract on the ground.

    This contract was drawn to bind Zhou Hao and the Golden Queen Ant.

    ¡°Drop some blood on it, this queen will be your contract beast!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes widened when he heard Qin Feng¡¯s words and could not believe his ears. How could Zhou Hao not know how powerful the Golden Queen Ant was? He only needed a drop of his blood and it would be his own.

    ¡°Hurry up!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Zhou Hao did not hesitate, drawing his dagger, he brought the edge to his palm. Blood flowed freely but he showed no fear. He climbed atop the Golden Queen Ant¡¯s body and dropped onto the top of its head, letting the blood meander down the sides of its head.

    In the next moment, the blood seeped into the Golden Queen Ant¡¯s body. Zhou Hao could feel that at the bottom of his soul, another being¡¯s consciousness had appeared.

    This was the consciousness of the Golden Queen Ant.

    ¡°Hahaha! I also have a beast king pet now! I¡¯ll call you Xiao Huang in the future!¡± Zhou Hao wanted to lovingly pat the Golden Queen Ant¡¯s shell but it was riveted in cracks caused by Bai Li. That made his heart ache!

    Chi Long was on the sidelines when he saw this scene, by the time he rushed over it was toote!

    ¡°Hey. Mr Qin. Things are not supposed to be done this way!¡±

    Although the queen was defeated by Bai Li, Chi Long had also attacked it before. The most important thing was that a beast king pet made people green with envy.

    ¡°I¡¯ll buy this beast king,¡± Qin Feng said. ¡°How¡¯s three hundred million?¡±

    Chi Long took a deep breath, this was not just about the beast king.

    For a dead beast king, three hundred million far exceeded Chi Long¡¯s expectations, but a living beast king that could be made a contract with, the value was too great!

    This was like a hen thatid golden eggs!

    With this beast king, if it were raised well, it could be used to kill even more beast kings in the future!

    ¡°Mr Qin...¡± Chi Long started.

    Bai Li¡¯s eyes fell onto Chi Long and she said, ¡°I decided to save you just now. That¡¯s strange, I saved you and now you¡¯re demanding money from my hubby. How could you be so unreasonable? I should have just fed you to the giant ant!¡±

    A chill went down Chi Long¡¯s spine as he remembered the scene where Bai Li¡¯s attack had cracked and fractured the queen¡¯s skull.

    ¡°No! I didn¡¯t say that!¡± He wasn¡¯t very clear about Qin Feng¡¯s strength, but Bai Li¡¯s strength? He saw it for himself.

    This girl was truly a secretive and reserved person!

    ¡°My wife is right. In this battle, she used a lot of her strength. Of the three hundred million, I can only give thirty million to you, Commander Chi!¡±

    In the next moment, Qin Feng had already transferred thirty million over to Chi Long. When he received the money, he only had the desire to cry tearlessly.

    Thirty million was not enough to cover the costs of the ammo he had spent! Yet, with Bai Li covetously eyeing him, and Qin Feng making sense, Chi Long could only swallow the words he wanted to say.

    If you might lose your life for petty benefits, then it was not worth the loss!

    ¡°Hey, Mr Qin. I hope we can work together again in the future!¡± Chi Long said.

    ¡°Naturally!¡± Qin Feng said with a smile, nodding. Chi Long could only grit his teeth and stomach the situation.

    Afterwards, in the final sweep of the battle, nobody let Qin Feng participate. After all, Qin Feng¡¯s status was on a different level now!

    E-tier aptitude user. Now, he was on the same level as Chi Long, people were awed by him.

    The battlefield was quickly cleared, with drones recording the day of the battle. Everyone¡¯s battles would have been counted.

    ording to the battle statistics, there were twenty thousand cksteel ants that were not killed by Chi Long¡¯s bombardment, which was much higher than what people expected.

    Qin Feng alone ughtered ten thousand cksteel ants, and most of them were beast generals. The materials from the beast generals that were killed by Qin Feng were taken away by Wang Chen. Qin Feng did not intend to sell the materials and instead directed Wang Chen to take them back to Fengli Colony.

    Chi Long¡¯s results were equally amazing, ughtering forty thousand more in the matter of seconds and then shooting down five thousand more with a total value of seven hundred million yuan. However, counting the energy shells that were used up, Chi Long only had a profit of five hundred million yuan.

    With only this much money, he could only use them to invest in a new batch of ammunition!

    Even if he did not make a whole lot of money, he did umte a lot of points. Four hundred and thirty thousand points!

    This was a gunner¡¯s strong suit when it came to getting money.

    ¡°Mr Qin, your points have also been calcted and you earned three hundred and ny thousand points. You¡¯ve made a huge contribution in Han Town, why don¡¯t youe with me to Fu City and check out the Fu City depot?¡±

 Chapter 176 - Jade Cuirass

    <h4>Chapter 176: Jade Cuirass</h4>

    After the mention of ¡®Fu City depot¡¯ by the other party, several images quickly shed through his mind.

    A strong consciousness allowed Qin Feng to clearly recall images from before his rebirth.

    ¡°Have you heard? The rift treasures that the Red Sun Group has been looking for were stolen long ago!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s said that the treasure that they¡¯re looking for has been spread out!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve found one already, it¡¯s a jade cuirass that fell into a depot in Fu City. Nobody wanted it for many years and as a result, it¡¯s now been discovered. The Red Sun Corp is gonna put pressure on the owner of Fu City!¡±

    ¡°The Red Sun Corp has a number of strong A-tier directors, the owner of Fu City wouldn¡¯t be able to resist!¡±

    ¡°Who knows, the owner of Fu City has their own backers, we¡¯ll see who¡¯s stronger!¡±

    ¡°The owner definitely wouldn¡¯t stand a chance.¡±

    The mental image gradually blurred, and the visual angle began to shift. At that time, Qin Feng was merely a passerby who overheard this particr conversation!

    ¡°Hoo!¡± Qin Feng took a deep breath and furrowed his brow, the consumption of his consciousness was obviously toorge.

    This memory was just a passing scene before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth. If it were not for Qin Feng reaching the SS tier of his consciousness potential, he would not even remember such a scene.

    He did know that this jade cuirass was definitely something useful. Of course, something that¡¯s useful naturally needs to be his own.

    ¡°Alright, with Commander Chi with me, it would be great to see the warehouse in Fu City!¡±

    Chi Long let out a guffaw, ¡°The battle¡¯s over,mander or nomander, you can just call me Chi Long.¡±

    Chi Long was not as young as Qin Feng was, and since Qin Feng was a teenager, he ought to just call Chi Long ¡®Bro¡¯.

    However, Chi Long would not have dared to do that because Qin Feng¡¯s potential was great, maybe he would even be a D-tier ability user in the future. Not to mention, now that he was an E-tier, Qin Feng being an ability user stood at a higher point than Chi Long who was a gunner.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Respecting someone isn¡¯t the same as just obeying orders, you can call me by my name in the future. Calling me Mr Qin after fighting side by side would seem very strange!¡±

    ¡°Haha, good, good! Qin Feng, let¡¯s clean this up first and we¡¯ll go together in a while!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Both of them needed some time to sort things out, Qin Feng ordered Wang Chen to go back to the transport. After all, the goods being transported this time were worth about three million to four million.

    Fortunately, Zhou Hao was with the team. Even if the Golden Ant Queen was beaten down and very injured, it was still a deterring force. All it needed was a few days of good rest.

    As for the ordinary civilians who fought alongside Qin Feng for more than ten days, after asking about their future ns Qin Feng learned that they wanted to return to Fengli colony with him. Qin Feng had even taken the initiative to host a group of refugees.

    After all, Fengli colony was originally short on people but now nothing wascking!

    After a day of rest, the groups of people gradually evacuated. Qin Feng and Chi Long took a luxury hover train toward Fu City.

    Han Town was a six hour drive away from Fu City, it was no wonder nobody loved it. If they were using an ordinary car it would have taken a day and a night!

    Transportation was inconvenient, the wilderness was full of dangers, which was the reason why the small town never expanded very far.

    Soon, a huge city wall caught Qin Feng¡¯s eyes. They had arrived at Fu City!

    The terrain of Fu City had high altitudes, it seemed to be almost built into the sides of the surrounding mountain. There were hills, water and natural terrain to defend against enemies. It really did seem like a blessed ce.

    Its safety factor was one level higher than Chengyang City¡¯s, the leadership of the city was all D-tier. The mayor was a D7 ancient warrior with incredible strength.

    Of course, it was impossible for such a person to ever meet Qin Feng.

    Chi Long quicklypleted a task, Chengyang City would naturallymend him with an award and they even held a celebration feast that Qin Feng and Bai Li did not attend. Although they were heroes of the battle, they were not under any obligation to help and were not Fu City¡¯s people.The gratitude of Fu City came in the form of Qin Feng¡¯s reward.

    The next day, Qin Feng saw Chi Long with a smiling face appearing at the door of the hotel.

    ¡°Looking at you, it feels like something good has happened!¡± Qin Feng teased.

    ¡°It¡¯s a good thing for you too!¡± Chi Long said, taking out two small boxes and handing them to Qin Feng. ¡°This was specifically approved by our generals, and we also have the special privilege to enter the third-level treasure vault. Lets go after we get some food!¡±

    Qin Feng opened the small box and saw that it was actually an E-tier aptitude user badge.

    The certification method for E-tier badges also required the users to enter the aptitude user certification hall, but regardless of Fu City or Chengyang it was impossible for the certification to take ce as there were no E-tier ultra beasts nearby.

    If there were such beasts at such a high level, and inrge numbers, then Fu City and Chengyang probably would not be standing at this point.

    Moreover, in these two cities, there were not many people capable of bing E-tier aptitude users. Perhaps one every three to five years. They would have their own approval rights and reached E-tier through a special umtedbat effort.

    Just like Qin Feng right now.

    ¡°This really saves us some trouble, thank you!¡± Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction and called over Bai Li to put the medal on her. Bai Li did the same in return, the two seemed intimate and the other person present found the scene adorable.

    While the three were eating breakfast, the other guests gave them a passing nce and did not dare make too much noise. Even if they find Bai Li beautiful, they would not approach.

    This was power and it intimidates people.

    After breakfast, Chi Long took Qin Feng to the Fu City military base. The base was built out of a hollowed out mountain, reinforced with concrete on the inside and was sealed airtight. The reinforcements seemed to have been made by Earth-based ability users.

    Passing through theyers of defenses, they finally reached the Fu City treasure vault.

    ¡°The first level here has some G-tier beast-general, beast-king armors containing maybe internal power, ability powers, consciousness enhancements and whatnot. Pick what you like!¡± Chi Long said off-handedly.

    While he sounded casual about it, everything here had different costs in terms of points. The beast general ones would probably be thousands to tens of thousands and the beast king ones would cost even more points.

    Qin Feng naturally would not waste his points on useless things. He had a strong perception, after expanding his consciousness, he did not find anything useful so he shook his head and showed no interest.

    Chi Long seemed to have thought so as well, taking Qin Feng onto the next floor which contained more dazzling disys with an even more expensive cost as it was all F-tier items.

    Qin Feng gave a sweeping nce and his eyes stopped on one of the jade capes.

    It was no mistake, it looked like a triangrdy¡¯s cape or shawl, evident by the way that it was ced. The jade was as thin as a cicada¡¯s wings, but delicate like wool, the overall appearance made it look white and beautiful.

    Perhaps that was what he was looking for!

    Then again, the people he remembered mentioned a jade cuirass, not a jade cape.

    ¡°Let¡¯s look around elsewhere!¡± Qin Feng said since they had not reached the third level yet.

    Just as he was about to leave, the single piece of white jade at the bottom of the jade cape began to radiate a ray of light, giving out some sort of a strange pattern.

 Chapter 177 - Godwill Atlas

    <h4>Chapter 177: Godwill As</h4>

    Qin Feng was intrigued.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, did you notice the glimmer on the cape?¡± Qin Feng secretly asked Bai Li through his conscious energy.

    ¡°Glimmer? I don¡¯t see anything,¡± Bai Li answered while staring puzzlingly at the cape.

    But in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, the glow on the cape gleamed stronger and stronger.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, tell them you want this cape!¡±

    Bai Li did kill the final beast king and had contributed substantially throughout the process. She might not be at Qin Feng¡¯s level but somehow still managed to collect a total of eighty thousand points.

    Though she did not understand why Qin Feng had asked her to do so, she obeyed and said, ¡°Hubby, this looks great. Can I have it?¡±

    Qin Feng secretly gave her a thumbs up for her wless acting. He replied calmly, ¡°If you really like it, then just go ahead. Do you have enough points? If not, I will cover the extra.¡±

    Bai Li used hermunicator to scan the item and its details immediately appeared on the screen. The cape was a special training gear. It would slightly elevate the user¡¯s consciousness once worn. However, it was overlooked since this item was not designed for battle while disassembling it would be too wasteful. That was why the cape had been deserted in the cab.

    The price tag on it was sixty five thousand points.

    ¡°I have enough.¡± Bai Li confirmed the purchase and gained the cape. The ss door of the cab opened automatically and Bai Li retrieved the cape, putting it into her own spatial rune.

    Qin Feng¡¯s pulse rate heightened. He was excited about iming the extraordinary object.

    Chi Long was unaware of their exchange and thought that Bai Li had just randomly chosen an unusable item out of impulse.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the third level,¡± Qin Feng suggested.

    ¡°The good stuff is in Level 3, trust me.¡± Chi Long smiled and led the way.

    The third level was arger space but had fewer items.

    Though there were several D-tiers among the high-ranked officers in the City of Fu, the majority of the fighting force was still made up of E-tiers.

    Nheless, it was extremely difficult for an E-tier aptitude user to kill an E-tier beast general or beast king.

    Hence, most of the things here had to be the leftovers collected personally by someone from the mayoral or general rank.

    Qin Feng looked around and quickly found the thing he needed.

    Secret Art¡ªFire Dragon Style.

    ¡°I did not expect to see this here!¡± Qin Feng eximed while looking at the red leather scroll inside a ss counter.

    Qin Feng improved rapidly owing to the gem of darkness. Most of his current attack relied on the hellfire manifested from the gem.

    Though Qin Feng was already an E-tier ability user, his consciousness had yet to reach E-tier. Only ability users with E-tier conscious energy or above could master those devastating hidden techniques.

    Back then, the bomb released by Chi Long had demolished the entire anthill of cksteel ants and wiped out more than forty thousand insectoids in one shot. How preposterous!

    The skill of an ability user would only be stronger than that of a gunner.

    Qin Feng currentlycked such a signature ability.

    Still, it was not easy topletely master the ability rune within a short period of time. A powerful ability might require three to five years of training topletely master.

    Other than Fire Dragon, other well-known E-tier fire-type abilities included Star re, Magma, etc. The only thing was, these were extremely rare and not something that could be bought with money.

    ¡°This is what I¡¯m looking for.¡±

    Qin Feng scanned the tag and saw that it cost three hundred fifty thousand points.

    ¡°I was hoping to buy some beast king materials to enhance my runic equipment. Seems that it is impossible now,¡± Qin Feng said dejectedly but he was not entirely disappointed.

    He was content to have obtained the ridiculously powerful Fire Dragon Style.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you get too greedy now. These are all our city treasures and valuable resources. There would be no chance of you getting your hands on this if it were not because of the fact that we don¡¯t have fire ability users!¡± Chi Long said with a grin.

    Qin Feng was left with forty thousand points while Bai Li had twenty thousand remaining.

    Theybined them and used it to redeem thirty bottles of Luminous Honey.

    The honey was made by a type of E-tier small-sized insectoid that roamed in specific mountainous areas. The mayor¡¯s wife in this city managed to contract a beast king, Luminous Bee, and used it to supply the honey. One bottle was only the size of a finger but cost two thousand points.

    It was very useful since it could rapidly regenerate the consumer¡¯s conscious energy. The reason why Fu City could breed such a great number of gunners was partly thanks to the convenience of this particr item.

    After Qin Feng had finished up his points, Chi Long had also swiftly spent three hundred thousand points to redeem three bombs. He then used the rest to replenish his magazines.

    Gunner was no doubt avish profession.

    After they returned to the hotel, Qin Feng hastily asked Bai Li to take out the cape.

    At the bottom of the triangr cape, there was a diamond-shaped jade hanging and beaming continuously, though Qin Feng seemed to be the only one who was able to see it.

    Qin Feng touched the jade with his finger but nothing happened. He thought of an idea and immediately put it into action. Conscious energy slowly flowed from his hand into the jade.

    Boom!

    All of a sudden, Qin Feng felt that his consciousness had entered a giant maze. Around him were walls made from white jade. There was only a single path straight ahead and a giant marble on the path had two words carved on it.

    Godwill As.

    In the next moment, strings of unfamiliar words began to appear in his mind but he immediately understood everything.

    ¡®This, this is the guide to reach S-tier consciousness?¡¯ Qin Feng was astonished. Godwill As was perhaps as potent as Asteroid Assimtion if this were true!

    Qin Feng had once again grasped a precious opportunity.

    But he soon furrowed his brows.

    ¡®The conflict between Red Sun and Fu City would take ce three years from now. At that time, this as might attract unwanted attention from the Red Sun Corp.¡¯

    However, he quickly dismissed his pessimism.

    ¡®I attained A-tier within ten years before I was reborn. I believe I can get to the same level in three years in this new life. Better still, I would probably end up in the Hero-ss. By that time, there¡¯s no need to be afraid of the Red Sun.¡¯

    He was determined not to let anyone rob away what was rightfully his.

    The most important thing now was to master the as as quickly as possible to enhance his own ability.

    He expanded his consciousness and began exploring the as. Few instancester, he came to a junction that forked out into three directions.

    Qin Feng tried the left path but was quickly rebounded. He picked the right route next and was again promptly forced back. He was annoyed at first but surprised to find out that another three white jades had emerged above the first jade and were lit up.

    Encouraged, Qin Feng proceeded to split his consciousness into three streams and advanced on the three paths simultaneously. He was not rebounded back this time and progressed rapidly.

    At the end of each route was three more branches and they kept multiplying by the factor of three after that.

 Chapter 178 - E-tier Consciousness

    <h4>Chapter 178: E-tier Consciousness</h4>

    This was where Qin Feng hit the stumbling block.

    Though he managed to diverge his consciousness into nine streams, he was exhausted at the end of the third cycle.

    Qin Feng retrieved his consciousness half an hourter. His face was pale and he could tell that his conscious energy waspletely emptied.

    ¡®I can still go on!¡¯

    Qin Feng gulped in a bottle of Luminous Honey and his consciousness recovered swiftly. He could almost see the end of the road and was unwilling to give up when he was this close topleting the third cycle.

    He immersed himself into the as and charged forward rapidly.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    ¡°Again!¡±

    After the eighth attempt, Qin Feng finally reached the end of the jade maze. He felt dizzy when he split for the twenty-seventh time and retreated from the as.

    Once he got out, he sensed that his conscious energy was gradually returning to him. More so, it expanded to the point beyond his previous limit.

    A clear revtion urred to him.

    Without him knowing, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had just breached E-tier.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were beaming with newfound confidence.

    ¡°This Godwill As is tremendous!¡± Qin Feng retracted his conscious energy and the cape fell right back into his arms. In his eyes, three rows of jades were blinking brightly at the bottom of the cloak.

    Qin Feng estimated there to be at least nine rows on the as. If each row represented one cycle or stage, he could possibly reach SS-tier through it.

    ¡®The function of this cape must be kept a secret.¡¯

    ¡°Bai Li, store this for me.¡± He was reassured only after Bai Li had ced the cape back into her spatial rift.

    There was no need to rush it. Qin Feng knew that he could easily conquer three cycles on the cape not because he was gifted but because he was already on the brink of entering E-tier.

    It would take him a lot of effort and time to conquer the next stage.

    After that, Qin Feng took out the leather scroll detailing the Fire Dragon Style.

    Fire runes flickered on the leather as if it was on fire.

    Absorb!

    Qin Feng did not study the leather like others would have. Other ability users would normally analyze each rune carefully and thenboriously carve each rune onto their own energy core.

    To Qin Feng, he would automatically learn the skill simply by absorbing all the runes at once.

    He closed his eyes and freely consumed the fire runes from the scroll. The runes entered his E-tier conscious realm and spun rapidly around his diamond core.

    The leather scroll suddenly caught fire at one point and the me was absorbed through Qin Feng¡¯s be. Within seconds, the leather scroll turned ck, then grey, and finally dispersed as dust.

    Within Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm, therge number of fire runes was all dyed by the gem of darkness and transformed into Hellfire. It spun around the diamond within Qin Feng and dark red mes gradually engulfed the entire core and took the form of a scarlet dragon.

    After all the runes were imprinted onto the core, the dragon fully materialized and seemed eager to wreak havoc under themand of his new master.

    Qin Feng had thoroughly mastered the new skill within a short amount of time.

    His unique ability allowed him to improve drastically at an unprecedented rate.

    Nheless, E-tier and below were considered entry-level. After that, the difficulty of being promoted to the next level would be significantly tougher.

    ***

    The next day, Qin Feng contacted Chi Long to inform him about his departure.

    ¡°Why not spend some time to chill in our city? We have some extraordinary sceneries here.¡± Chi Longughed and said.

    ¡°I wish to but I have many things to deal with. After all, I still have a small colony to take care of.¡± He was actually not involved much in the development and management of Fengli but he used it as an excuse.

    ¡°Haha. I get it. I have prepared an automobile for you. Take it as a sign of my gratitude and as a thanks for the help from Lady Bai!¡± Chi Long said joyfully.

    In front of Qin Feng and Bai Li was a luxurious hover limousine. It was equipped with autopilot and was very spacious. The mobile appeared stylish andfortable.

    This luxury car cost Chi Long a fortune. It was priced at twenty million.

    Chi Long did not earn as much and as fast as Qin Feng. Twenty million was considered ludicrous spending by his standard. But he decided to spend it anyway. After all, Qin Feng had given him thirty million before so he wanted to repay Qin Feng and leave him with a good impression.

    ¡°Thanks!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be. In the future, just call me if you need a hand!¡±

    ¡°Naturally,¡± Qin Feng nodded. He thought highly of Chi Long. He was smart, diligent, andfortable to be around.

    Qin Feng did not wish to make him an enemy. He did not say those words out of courtesy. It was hard to walk alone in this post-apocalyptic earth. Dangers that might emerge anytime would need aptitude users like them to save the day. Besides, conflicts between different parties would surely ensue in the future.

    Qin Feng would do what he could to help those he viewed as allies and he hoped for the same from Chi Long.

    Qin Feng exited the city in the limousine. He changed directions as soon as they were out of the city¡¯s surveince.

    He was not heading back to Chengyang. This was the ce he wanted to go all along.

    Qin Feng checked hismunicator. The time on it slowly ticked toward the same time in his past life.

    At the junction, one after another, trucks swirled down the mountain route. On top of each truck, several gunners were puffing leisurely while standing guard.

    It was just a normal conveyance. The only unusual thing about this group would be the freight they were transporting.

    ves!

    These cars were traveling to Sea City. The city formed a triangle with Chengyang and Fu City. As its name suggested, this city resided by the sea, threatened to be demolished by the raging waves at any time.

    Here, brutal fights broke off every now and then. Aptitude users here were ready to give their lives at any moment. Hence, they lived on the knife¡¯s edge every day and indulged extravagantly.

    A lot of teenage girls from the slums would be kidnapped and sold to Sea City.

    Qin Feng was unaware of this in his past life. He was one of those guards on the roof then.

    Though he figured it outter on, he did not have enough courage and capability to save them after narrowly escaping death himself.

    More than ten trucks passed him by like the wind. They did not notice Qin Feng at the corner. Qin Feng started the limousine¡¯s engine and trailed behind them.

    One of the gunners noticed Qin Feng¡¯s limousine immediately.

    ¡°Wow! Where did this tycoone from?¡±

    The owner of the luxurious limousine must be showing off. Otherwise, he or she would not have driven this car out in the wild.

    To an ordinary G-tier aptitude user, only a tycoon could have afforded such a vehicle.

 Chapter 179 - Dark Coalition

    <h4>Chapter 179: Dark Coalition</h4>

    It was not something one would see everyday, a hover limousine trailing a long track of old-time trucks.

    ¡°The hover car doesn¡¯t n to overtake us it seems. Why is the driver following us?¡± One of the gunners frowned and spoke restlessly through themunicator, which stayed connected to the entire security troop.

    ¡°Should I shoot the car?¡±

    ¡°Are you crazy? What if there is a big gun in there? Suit yourself if you want to tempt fate but don¡¯t drag us down with you.¡±

    ¡°I will kill him instantly if he is only an F-tier aptitude user.¡±

    They watched the limousine warily. The car continued to tailgate them after a distance.

    The guards grew restless as the convoy entered a valley between two mountains.

    Bang!

    The sound of an unanticipated gunshot echoed through the valley and blood immediately spurted out from one of the G-tier gunners. His body tumbled lifelessly and rolled down from the truck.

    ¡°We are under attack!¡± Another gunner shrieked in high pitch like ady and startled others on watch.

    But none of them could locate the enemy. It was either because the enemy was too far away or a more powerful gunner from the opponent¡¯s team had shielded their consciousness from them.

    Gunners on the outside were annihted swiftly while those inside dared not show themselves.

    The ambushers removed their camouge after they saw no retaliation from the guards. They were only a small unit of twenty men. The operation was a huge sess because they managed to catch the convoypletely off guard.

    The team protecting the trucks shouted angrily when they saw their ambushers approaching down from the mountain.

    ¡°F*ck them! Brothers, let¡¯s move and avenge our fallenrades!¡±

    A few ancient warriors were prepared to dash out. Of course, there would not be an ability user in such an average security team.

    This was when the limousine hidden behind the giant trucks began to whirr loudly.

    Buzz!!

    The rhythmic hum of the luxury car machinery was a melody to the ears. The hover limousine escted abruptly and flew over the truck in front of it.

    It then promptlynded in between the two groups of people.

    Both the Serpent Battalion and the security guards were riddled by the intrusion.

    Those from the Serpent Battalion assumed that he hade to the aid of the convoy. The intruder was probably hard to deal with judging by the limousine he or she was driving.

    While those from the security team took Qin Feng as a foe. After all, it would be too coincidental for the ambush to take ce right after his car had suddenly appeared behind them in a no man¡¯snd.

    The door on the driver¡¯s side slid open when the two parties were still busy guessing the intruder¡¯s identity.

    The gunners from the Serpent Battalion did not think much and fired rapidly at Qin Feng.

    Ratatat!

    However, the bullets stopped short at about one meter in front of Qin Feng.

    ¡°Reflect!¡± Qin Feng uttered coldly and all the bullets traveled back to where they came from at an even greater speed.

    ¡°Sh*t!¡±

    Ancient warriors standing in front of the party were staggered and rapidly drew out their weapons to shield themselves against the iing bullets.

    nk! nk! nk!

    Some of the bullets were deflected but not everyone reacted in time. Many were hit and fell down, groaning in pain. More than ten fighters had their legs hit during this exchange.

    Qin Feng got down from the car slowly. His silver battle suit was eye-catching enough but the palm-sized badge in front his chest stood out even more. Arge letter E was engraved on the badge.

    Those from the Serpent Battalion were stunned.

    ¡®E-tier? How¡¯s that possible?¡¯

    They had investigated the convoy thoroughly before making the move. Where did this E-tier aptitude usere from?

    They wanted to question but to their surprise, they could not make any sound as if a giant hand was gripping their throat. It was the overwhelming conscious energy emanated by Qin Feng that had forbidden them from talking. Qin Feng¡¯s aura caused the lower tier aptitude users to gasp for air and hunch involuntarily.

    Bam!

    A gunner from the Serpent Battalion could no longer withstand the pressure and kneeled to the ground.

    ¡°Please, spare my life!¡±

    The others soon followed suit. They fell to their knees and pleaded for their lives. They were powerless in front of an E-tier aptitude user.

    Qin Feng scanned the kneeling figures and finally found the person he was looking for.

    He was a frivolous looking young man, perhaps in his twenties. There was a long de in his hand and Qin Feng could sense that he was merely a G3-tier aptitude user.

    This was the guy that had hunted him down in his past life but was instead killed by him.

    Qin Feng triggered his conscious power and dragged the man toward him. The young man, pained by his gun wound, let out a horrible scream.

    ¡°Argh! My lord, spare me!¡±

    Qin Feng looked him in the eyes and spoke solemnly, ¡°I will not kill you as long as you answer my questions.¡±

    The man nodded and said, ¡°I will tell you everything.¡±

    Qin Feng smiled satisfyingly.

    ¡°Which organization are you guys serving?¡±

    ¡°Serpent. We call ourselves the Serpent Battalion. I just joined the Dark Coalition recently and have never killed anyone. I was being forced into this.¡±

    Qin Feng retracted his smile and pierced the man in front with his cold sight. He became even more traumatizing than before.

    ¡°Argh!!¡± Some sumbed entirely to the pressure and could not raise their heads.

    Qin Feng choked the man and chastised, ¡°Did you think that your lies will work on me?¡±

    The guy trembled and replied very much terrified, ¡°I am not lying! I swear!¡±

    Qin Feng turned the guy¡¯s neck violently and he almost fainted. Cold sweat was all over his neck due to fear, and Qin Feng could clearly see the tattoo he was looking for.

    Qin Feng sneered. ¡°Now tell me, what¡¯s with this tattoo?¡±

    The guy¡¯s iris narrowed after he heard Qin Feng¡¯s question but he was not the only one who reacted to the question.

    Qin Feng was extremely sensitive and immediately pinpointed the man on the ground with stiffened muscles. His gaze fell straight on the target.

    The man initially dropped his head to avoid eye contact but immediately raised his head again as he remembered something. Nheless, that short instance was more than enough for Qin Feng to notice the tattoo.

    ¡®So, you have it as well.¡¯ Qin Feng paced toward the man.

    ¡°Let me go. I don¡¯t understand what you are saying!¡± The young man in his grip was struggling to escape.

    Qin Feng approached his target and stepped on the person¡¯s back mercilessly. He then crouched down and forcefully pushed his hand against the F-tier aptitude user¡¯s head.

    The tattoo on the back of his neck was clearly in sight now.

 Chapter 180 - Clue about Z Organization

    <h4>Chapter 180: Clue about Z Organization</h4>

    This man also had a tattoo and probably knew more. After all, he was an F-tier aptitude user.

    Qin Feng continued to scan the group. They had no way to hide from Qin Feng¡¯s piercing sight.

    ¡°What tattoo? I don¡¯t have any!¡±

    ¡°Neither do I!¡±

    ¡°Please let me go. I have nothing like that!¡±

    The others had not given up on pleading.

    ¡°That¡¯s right. No one else here has it...¡± Qin Feng murmured absentmindedly.

    Those kneeling were relieved to hear that.

    But in the next moment, a scarlet me erupted out of thin air and shrouded everyone other than Qin Feng and the man with the tattoo.

    ¡°No tattoo means that you are no use to me!¡±

    Boom!

    The fire danced wildly and burned the twenty-ishbatants from the Serpent Battalion alive.

    Seeing Qin Feng¡¯s cruelty, the F-tier aptitude user made up his mind. However, before he could take any action, Qin Feng had acted first.

    Bam!

    Qin Fengnded a punch right on his mouth. The great force deflected the man¡¯s head sideway.

    Poof!

    All of his teeth were shattered by that single punch.

    Bam!

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    Qin Fengnded another four quick punches and broke the man¡¯s limbs. He also retrieved the man¡¯smunicator on his wrist.

    Asteroid Assimtion!

    The man¡¯s inner force dissipated rapidly and his dantian wilted instantaneously.

    Qin Feng then raised his finger and burned away the man¡¯s hair and clothes with Hellfire.

    Whoosh!

    Under the extreme heat, a test tube exploded and oozed out mysterious looking blue liquid.

    Qin Feng finally stopped tormenting the man.

    ¡°Mutant experiment? Hmm?¡± Qin Feng snorted at the man.

    The F-tier aptitude user was in too much pain. Qin Feng¡¯s attack was so rapid that he did not even have the chance to muster a scream.

    Qin Feng managed it professionally. He broke the hostage¡¯s teeth to prevent him from biting his own tongue. Burning his hair was to confirm there was not any hidden bug. He then proceeded to break his limb and snatched away hismunicator topletely handicap the hostage. Finally, burning off the clothes was to ensure that the hostage had nothing else hidden underneath that might overturn the situation.

    His thorough vignce was proven vital as he uncovered the syringe shot.

    Qin Feng then turned his gaze back onto the young man.

    ¡°You can try to move if you wish to turn out like him.¡± Qin Feng threatened.

    ¡°No. Please, no!!¡± The young man was deeply frightened and devastated.

    Qin Feng grabbed him and stacked him on top of his aplice. He then drew out a gun.

    ¡°Please, don¡¯t kill me!¡± The young man yelled.

    Qin Feng took out a thumb-sized bullet and loaded it into his silver gun.

    Bang!

    A white spider appeared out of the muzzle after the trigger and cloaked the two men. Qin Feng gave them a kick to wrap them inside the.

    He then picked them up and stuck them to the top of the car.

    Just as Qin Feng was about to step inside his car, an F-tier ancient warrior from inside the truck approached him and expressed his gratitude. ¡°Thanks for your help. We have a lot of ¡°goods¡± in the truck. Do you wish to pick one and bring back?¡±

    Qin Feng looked at him. He did remember his name¡ªLiu Heng.

    This man was just an average fighter and was killed instantly during the ambush in his past life.

    However, Qin Feng reckoned he was probably fairing much better in management and trade. Otherwise, he would not have chosen this business.

    Qin Feng replied, ¡°Sell all your ¡°goods¡± to me. Don¡¯t send them over to Sea City. Deliver them to Fengli colony under my name, Qin Feng. You will get your payment there.¡±

    Liu Heng was startled, watching Qin Feng step inside the car. He had a glimpse of the gorgeousdy in the passenger seat. She also had an E-tier badge in front of her chest.

    The girl nced back at him before the door was shut.

    A chill went down Liu Heng¡¯s spine. The feeling was like he had just been targeted by a ferocious beast. His action might have offended thedy.

    ¡®She is also an E-tier aptitude user. Will she hold a grudge against me for offering her man ady right in front of her?¡¯

    But another thought soon filled his mind.

    ¡®Qin Feng? Where have I heard this name before? Fengli? Wait a minute...¡¯ A sense of realization came to him. He had definitely heard of Qin Feng before.

    Qin Feng could not care less about what Liu Heng was thinking. He drove away hastily with the two hostages. He exited the main road and stopped by at a random remote ce.

    Qin Feng threw them down from the car.

    ¡°Now, now. Are you ready to confess what I am interested to hear?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    The F-tier aptitude user remained silent but the young man responded in panic, ¡°What do you wish to know? I will tell you everything!¡±

    ¡°Shut up!¡± The F-tier aptitude user shouted indistinctly. He did not have any teeth left and could not bite his own tongue tomit suicide.

    He was supposed to be able to pop his own dantian. But Qin Feng foresaw it and used his Asteroid Assimtion to deplete his internal force first. The F-tier could no longer gather any strength.

    ¡°You are the one who should shut up.¡± Qin Feng choked him and nced at the young man.

    ¡°So, where did you get the tattoo?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s my boss. But I don¡¯t know where the ce is!¡± The young man betrayed hisrade without any hesitation.

    The F-tier aptitude user looked at him in disbelief.

    He personally rmended this young man into the battalion because he saw the wicked side in him. Turns out he was vicious to everyone and had no sense of loyalty in front of a life and death situation.

    What was there to expect? Such a horrible person would never prioritize loyalty before his own life.

    ¡°What¡¯s your purpose for ambushing this convoy?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    The young man answered without dy, ¡°We are going after the ves. Our boss says that we are going to sell them but the truth is, they are going to be used as experimental subjects!¡±

    ¡°So, I am right. You two are indeed members of Z organization!¡±

    The F-aptitude user¡¯s eyes erged when he heard Qin Feng say that. Obviously, he did not expect Qin Feng to know the name of their secret organization. However, he was able to remainposed.

    ¡°Since you know about our organization, then you should also be aware of how scary we are. We have infiltrated not only Fu City but a lot of other cities and colonies. You will be doomed for doing this to us.¡±

    Bam!

    ¡°Ugh!¡±

    Qin Feng retracted his fist and sneered, ¡°Know your ce. Is it really wise to threaten me in your current position?¡±

    ¡°Hack...¡±

    The F-tier aptitude user threw up blood and looked terribly frightened.

    He learned his lesson and shut his mouth. The more he said, the less valuable his life would be.

 Chapter 181 - Conscious Energy Control

    <h4>Chapter 181: Conscious Energy Control</h4>

    It was at that moment, the side door from the passenger¡¯s side of the luxurious hover limousine opened up, Bai Li gave a curious stare at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Hubby, are you nning to extort a confession? I can hypnotize!¡±

    Qin Feng stopped his hand that was applying brutal force.

    ¡°Hypnotize?¡± Qin Feng did not know that Bai Li had such an ability.

    ¡°Yes, the gunners from the movie that I was watching were also doing it, I think it is a good idea!¡±

    Gunners had very strong conscious energy that could be used in controlling normal people.

    Moreover, movies that were meant for ordinary civilians wouldmonly mystify the appearance of any aptitude users.

    In reality, hypnotizing could only be achieved when there was a huge difference between the two conscious energies. A clear example would be when Qin Feng used his identity as a high level aptitude user that put pressure on the young man that was at a lower level to spill everything that he wanted to know.

    Obviously, the method was ineffective toward F-tier aptitude users.

    However, Bai Li had stepped forward and was standing before the F-tier aptitude users.

    ¡°Look at me!¡±

    At that moment, Bai Li lost her puerile and innocent character as she put on a cool and emotionless expression while she showcased her august personage.

    With her stunning and gorgeous appearance, she had been capturing all of the attention of the two people earlier on, and they had totally forgotten about being cautious.

    The first attempt seeded immediately, and their eyes began to cken.

    Qin Feng also shivered at that moment and felt that Bai Li was his queen, and he wanted to crawl under her feet and await hermand.

    Bai Li said, ¡°Where is the location of the Z Organization¡¯sboratory?¡±

    ¡°It is in the grand mountain defensive base located ten thousand meters away from the north-eastern part of Lingshan colony!¡±

    Bai Li shifted her eyes and looked at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Hubby, what did I tell you, how did I do?¡± Bai Li was like a student from primary school that yearned for apliment.

    ¡°Great!¡± Qin Feng caressed Bai Li¡¯s silvery-white hair andplimented her.

    At that same moment, Bai Li lost her focus on the F-tier aptitude user, and he regained his consciousness, and most importantly, he knew what he had just done and told.

    He was dumbstruck and fearful of what had just happened!

    His fear was soon acknowledged.

    Qin Feng took out an aerosol spray and sprayed onto the both of them.

    The young man did not know why, but the giant that was extremely adhesive began to loosen up.

    The F-tier aptitude user who had lost his limbs fell onto the ground while the other young man regained his freedom.

    ¡°Sir, are you nning to let us go? Thank you sir, thank you for your mercy on us!¡±

    The F-tier aptitude user burst out inughter.

    ¡°Letting you go? That would only happen in your dreams!¡±

    Qin Feng had already obtained the information that he required, hence, they could no longer be allowed to live.

    Before the F-tier aptitude user could react, Qin Feng had already stomped on his neck which was followed by a cracking sound, his throat was crushed into pieces.

    The young man who witnessed such a horrifying scene sank into extreme fear.

    ¡°My lord, you promised to let me go... you have to keep your promise!¡±

    Qin Feng remained emotionless as he looked at the arrogant person who had been hunting him down to kill him before his rebirth.

    When he was already extremely exhausted with heavy wounds that had limited his ability to resist, it was this person who had stepped on him and took a piss on his body.

    Therefore, in the end, Qin Feng took the opportunity to get revenge for himself.

    ¡°Regardless of which life you are living in, today would be the day you die!¡± Qin Fengughed grimly andnded a punch on the opponent¡¯s skull!

    His internal strength overflowed with the punch, exerting such great force that the young man¡¯s brain was turned to mush, killing him instantly.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    After setting a small fire on both of their bodies, Qin Feng turned around and got into the vehicle.

    The Hellfire disintegrated their remaining bodypletely, it was as if they had never existed.

    ***

    Lingshan Colony was one of the important colonies located near to Fu City, it was simr to all four colonies from the north, south, east, and west of Chengyang City.

    Qin Feng travelled at high speed in his vehicle and arrived at the edge of the mountain road within half an hour¡¯s time.

    Bai Li stored the vehicle back into her space, and soon, both of them disappeared into the forest that was densely surrounded by mountains.

    Despite knowing the general location of theboratory, Qin Feng was still uncertain about the exact location, but it would still be extremely easy to find theboratory with his strong conscious energybined with Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability.

    Soon, Bai Li found the spot.

    ¡°It¡¯s here!¡± Bai Li identified the exact location.

    ¡°Expand your perception, and look for a ce that is less crowded!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Bai Li nodded, and soon, she was able to identify a spot that was less noticeable and teleported along with Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng felt the changes in the surroundings that took ce instantly. In the next moment, he was already in a different environment.

    A white coat was hung along with other clothes on the wall, obviously, it was the bedroom of a research worker.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go out, be careful, avoid being noticed by the others!¡±

    While Qin Feng gave his warning, ayer of ck runes was released from his body.

    Gradually, Qin Feng was surrounded by shadows, and eventually, his body disappeared into the shadows.

    Bai Li activated her spatial runes and went past the main entrance of the bedroom, then, she arrived at the corridor.

    Theboratory was slightly bigger in size than the one back at Chengbei colony, and everyone was walking around while being upied with their own tasks.

    Qin Feng followed some of them and travelled among the shadows, being an E-tier himself, Qin Feng was obviously capable of taking down everyone there, and none of them would realize that somebody was spying on them.

    However, there would not be any aplishment with just spying on them.

    Qin Feng connected with Bai Li via his conscious energy. ¡°Head toward the control room!¡±

    Bai Li was already used to themon knowledge of normal human beings, it was an easy task to identify the control room that was filled with machines.

    Swoosh!

    Qin Feng and Bai Li disappeared from their spot, and in the next moment, they were already in the control room.

    At that moment, there were three people in the room, two of them were ordinary people who were paying their closest attention in monitoring the recordings from the control room, with a remaining F-tier aptitude user that was in deep sleep.

    Qin Feng walked closer to him and attempted to stab him.

    The F-tier aptitude user was able to sense danger from the surroundings and immediately opened his eyes, dodging the stab.

    Poof!

    The stab from Qin Feng shed across the waist of the F-tier aptitude user who tried to dodge.

    Although he was able to dodge part of the deadly stab, he was clearly done for!

    Fresh blood squirted all over the screens, while the other two people were alerted and looked at Qin Feng.

    Without any hesitation, Qin Feng shed his saber in the air.

    Soon, both of them were also dead.

    Qin Feng acted fast enough, before they could even make a sound, so other people there were none the wiser about the situation in the control room.

    Qin Feng nced through the screens and noticed that the screens that were being observed by the two people there were only capturing corridors and external surveince, and none of them were keeping watch on any special location.

    However, the F-tier aptitude user was eyeing something different.

    The screens were connected with the surveince on theboratories and also storage rooms.

    There were frozen ultra beasts in the rooms, and also human beings that were trapped in cages.

    Furthermore, there was also another room that had a group of spooky looking beast infants.

 Chapter 182 - Mutantâ€™s Old Lair

    <h4>Chapter 182: Mutant¡¯s Old Lair</h4>

    They were all covered in long fur, and they had a normal human body¡¯s upper partbined with a cat¡¯s lower part. As they crawled on the ground, their movements were like that of a cat¡¯s.

    Some even had fangs in their mouth, with dull yellow skin and protruded noses, akin to that of pigs.

    There were also bears, rats, and hawks!

    Theboratory wasrger in size and was even more horrifying than the others.

    The atmosphere was more terrifying with the presence of human beings that were being trapped in the special cages for experiment!

    It had definitely surprised Qin Feng, but he was even more agitated by it.

    All this while, he had been thinking that the Z Organization was only an insignificant organization that was not widely known, that was why he had never heard of such an organization in his past life.

    However, now, he realized that he was wrong.

    Terribly wrong.

    How could a small and insignificant organization be capable of owning such a tremendous capacity in conducting experiments of such a scale!

    Regardless of the reason behind it, such experiments should not be allowed to continue, as the methods that they had taken were those that would only be adopted by the Dark Coalition.

    Qin Feng would eliminate such experiments if he were able to identify any.

    In the next moment, mes surrounded Qin Feng and engulfed the entire room.

    Boom boom boom!

    Every machine equipment in the control room exploded, and all of the video recordings were destroyed. Although there might be some that had been sent out, at the very least, there would not be any recordings of Qin Feng and it would never have any other recordings in the future!

    It was a decision that Qin Feng had to make to protect himself.

    The deafening sounds of explosions and the zing mes had instantly triggered the fire protection system, and as soon as the rm went off, water sprayed out from the fire sprinkler pipe, and the Hellfire mes instantly evaporated it into steam.

    Then, Qin Feng kicked toward the main entrance with his leg and walked into the connecting passage.

    The loud explosion had definitely drawn attention from the base, and everyone was contacting the central operations room, but all in vain.

    It was because the control room had been destroyed by Qin Feng.

    Some of them rushed toward Qin Feng¡¯s direction and his attire that was different from the rest had drawn their attention toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± One of them shouted in anger, and without waiting for his reply, they started firing shots at him.

    Without any dy, Qin Feng continued to move forward as the bullets fired at him were halted in mid-air one meter around him before scattering all over the ground.

    Qin Feng was not harmed even one bit.

    A person that was armed with a firearm was stunned by the scene. Although Qin Feng was not moving at great speed, the E-tier aptitude user badge on his chest was already terrifying enough.

    ¡°Hostile attack!!! Hostile attack!!!¡±

    That person shouted into hismunicator.

    Qin Feng shifted his feet and kicked the ground lightly, several bullets wereunched toward that person¡¯s skull.

    ¡°Ugh...¡±

    The eyes of that person were wide open in disbelief at the way he was killed.

    Everyone in theboratory began to panic when they heard that person¡¯s scream.

    ¡°What is happening?¡± In theboratory, an elderly person that had justpleted his surgical operation asked in a deep voice, he was clearly enraged.

    ¡°Professor Wang, there are intruders in theboratory, and the surveince system is not working, it seems that the operations room has been destroyed by someone!¡±

    ¡°Trash!¡± Professor Wang shouted furiously and instantly activated the second backup n of the control room, then, he connected it with themunicator in his hand.

    Soon, Qin Feng¡¯s shadows were captured in his surveince feed.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s entire body was covered in ck shadows from the dark runes, he was like an irregr-shaped shadow that was not an actual figure.

    Professor Wang felt relieved and inhaled deeply.

    Then, he became excited and his face was flushed bright-red!

    ¡°Dark ability user, great, great, great, quick, send someone to capture him, and I want him alive, hahaha!¡±

    Professor Wang shouted in excitement.

    The presence of dark ability users was extremely rare, but everyone knew about the power of dark abilities.

    Including the Finger of Death that could strip off life, and also the Dark gue that could wipe out an entire race without being noticed.

    Scientists were crazy about finding out about these elements.

    Although Professor Wang might not know the reason behind the presence of this person, or even his intention of creating chaos around the ce, the professor had already firmed up the decision to execute the capture as soon as possible. There were even several experimental ideas that had already been formed in his mind!

    ¡°He is now in the passage outside the operations room, release the poison, get him sedated!¡± Professor Wangmanded.

    ¡°Yes! Professor Wang!¡±

    The others immediately followed the instructions, and it was fortunate that even without the functioning of an operations room, the location of the enemy could be quickly identified and decisions could be made within a short time.

    While Qin Feng was still in the passage, suddenly, a metal te fell off from the ceiling and a giant ck hole appeared before him.

    A gun appeared from the hole, and within the next moment, foggy dust was being sprayed out from it.

    Qin Feng lifted his gaze and looked up at the gun, he activated his conscious energy, and the muzzle was then twisted by a powerful and brutal force.

    Furthermore, the poisonous gas was too mild to cause any effect on Qin Feng, an E-tier aptitude user.

    Qin Feng then left the passage and entered another space. He extended the perception of his conscious energy and identified the location of theboratory.

    At that moment, Professor Wang was infuriated when he saw that Qin Feng had casually walked into theboratory, he roared, ¡°Go, capture him, even if it is only his dead body!¡±

    Everyone in theboratory heard the roar from theirmunicators and began to gather around to stop Qin Feng.

    However, they only knew btedly how powerful Qin Feng was when he had appeared before them!

    ¡°Professor Wang, he, he is an E-tier aptitude user!¡±

    ¡°What is so great about E-tier? Your abilities are equivalent to the capability of an F-tier beast king, why would you be afraid of an E-tier, get him!¡±

    Everyone hesitated for a moment, then, they bit the bullet and said, ¡°Professor Wang, wait for good news from me!¡±

    ¡°Haha, great, I will help you with another round of gic modification upon your return, you will be enhanced and be closer to perfection!¡±

    Those who heard what Professor Wang said felt the immediate motivation and excitement.

    Despite being a difficult experiment, every sessful case of gic experiment would grant the subject of the experiment the capability of a beast king, while the perfection that was mentioned by Professor Wang was referring to the possibility of achieving E-tier!

    It was something that they could not achieve even if they had put in effort to train for decades.

    They had forsaken their past lineage for stronger capabilities, and they were being transformed into indescribable monsters that were neither human nor beast. What was there to hold them back from enhancing their capabilities and bing stronger?

    With that in mind, they started to rush toward Qin Feng¡¯s location.

    At that moment, there were other gunners attempting to stop Qin Feng, but they were all ughtered mercilessly.

    None of them could resist the attacks from Qin Feng.

    Suddenly, a shadow dashed before Qin Feng, he was holding onto a syringe filled with blue liquid. He injected the liquid into his body, and he instantly underwent a shocking mutation.

    His skin turned into a dull yellow colour, it was like he was being covered by ayer of cuticles. His hair became coarse and his nostrils were erged along with the rapid growth of his body height and size.

    Within a split second, he was already above two meters in height, despite having an extremely swollen back and waist, hisbat power had been increased tremendously.

    Needless to say, he looked utterly gruesome!

 Chapter 183 - Slaughtering Mutants

    <h4>Chapter 183: ughtering Mutants</h4>

    ¡°I feel sorry for you as you have to merge with genes from a hog!¡± Qin Feng sneered.

    ¡°Shut up!¡± The person who heard Qin Feng let out a roar, he could not ignore Qin Feng¡¯s mockery toward him. However, it was not up to his decision to decide which type of gene to merge with, there was a certain merging requirement to fulfill, hence, he had to adhere to it.

    ¡°You wait and see, you will regret looking down on me as you have yet to find out the true capabilities of this gene, too bad you will not have the chance to find out, your life will be taken by me now, and you can only be transformed into cells for experiments!¡±

    With Qin Feng¡¯s current capabilities, he could definitely grow stronger if he were to be injected with the mutated genes.

    By then, there would be nobody that could cause any harm to him.

    It was the era where only capable ones would remain.

    Therefore, the mutated experimental subject would not allow Qin Feng to leave this ce alive.

    As the genes were getting closer to perfection, his appearance had transformed into that of a human hog, while his intelligence had deteriorated tremendously, his bloodshot eyes had gradually turned pitch-ck.

    He had be insane, andbat was the only capability left in him.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The mutated human hog roared furiously and threw out a punch as he sank into terrible rage, with his erged body structure, the output force was incredibly massive!

    He barreled forward like arge-sized truck.

    Qin Feng raised his fist and punched toward the mutated human hog.

    Pow!

    The punchnded on the mutated human hog¡¯s stomach, as the erged body had ripped his clothes apart, theyers of revealed jiggly flesh on his stomach that seemed to be sturdy was also unable to handle the massive force from the punch.

    Pow!

    Another punch!

    Pow pow pow!

    The mutated human hog could not take anymore of the punches, he howled as he started to feel thecerations on his skin, and every continuous punch would intensify the pain and break his intestines.

    He began to struggle in pain.

    Qin Feng not only took the opportunity to dodge the attack from the human hog, he had also gone further and shoved him around ruthlessly.

    The concrete wall was immediately indented by the impact from the human hog.

    Qin Feng grabbed onto the opponent¡¯s coarse hair and dragged out his erged body that was more than four hundred kilos in weight, he was like a broken ragdoll!

    Boom!

    Again, Qin Feng pushed his opponent¡¯s skull and smashed it into the dented wall, followed by a stomp on his backbone.

    Crack!

    Cracking sounds from his bones were heard.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    The mutated human hog let out a miserable shriek.

    Within five minutes of battle, Qin Feng had already crippled the mutated human hog.

    It was a shame for him to be associated with the capabilities of an F-tier beast king, such weak capabilities could only be recognized as an inferior king.

    It was Qin Feng¡¯sbat power that should be crowned as the true king, the human ultra beast king.

    At that moment, Professor Wang was enraged when he saw the unfavourable scene.

    ¡°Where are you thinking? Go together, get him! Stupid hogs!¡±

    As Professor Wang let out his raging screams, some of the research workers began to inject themselves with the medicine and mutate into different forms.

    Qin Feng realized that all sorts of mutants had appeared and were rushing into the corridor, they were like a pack of unrestrained devils.

    Qin Feng took out his Verdant Emperor Saber as a man was rushing toward him, he was akin to a lion with his bushy mane around his head.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Under the zing mes, sharp ws appeared as the entire arm of that person was erged and had mutated into the arms of a beast.

    Pow!

    Qin Feng shed his extremely sharp saber and broke the ws of his opponent.

    ¡°Roar!!!¡±

    A deafening roar was then heard and the soundwaves created were visibly reverberating throughout the air!

    Soundwave attack!

    It was an attack simr to conscious energy attack, and it could pierce through the eardrums and paralyze the victim.

    However, it was not the case for Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng protected his ears with his neigong while his conscious energy had also transformed into a sharp needle and pierced into the brain of the mutated human sphinx.

    ¡°Argh...¡±

    The soundwave attack that was initially deafening and powerful had stopped, and it had now turned into a miserable shriek as the mutant rolled on the ground in pain.

    When Qin Feng was about to go ahead and take down his opponent, his keen sense detected a ray of hidden light that was zipping toward him.

    ¡°Phantom Motion Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng shifted from his initial spot and saw that a white piercing light ray hadnded on the wall.

    The wall shattered into pieces upon the impact while the debris fell all over the ce like small pieces of translucent diamonds.

    ¡°Compressed dposing ster!¡± Qin Feng narrowed his eyes with great focus.

    Dposing ster was one of the strongest guns within the small-sized firearm range. From the bottom of the hierarchy, there were fire sters, energy sters, dposing sters, and topped with others that were more powerful, hence, mastering thebat power of the dposing ster as an E-tier would definitely pose as a great threat to others.

    It was almost equivalent to a silver rune firearm.

    The mutant that had mastered the dposing ster was only mildly mutated, but with his mutated eyes and nose, it was still obvious that he had mutated into a hawk species.

    With his enhanced vision, he was even capable of motion visualization, and it was only because of the confusion from Qin Feng¡¯s Phantom Motion Steps that he was able to dodge the attack earlier!

    However, would such an enhanced vision from conscious energy be sufficient in the face of runes?

    There was a solid reason for ability users to be recognized as the top profession in that era!

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Qin Feng focused his conscious energy and activated his runes, the room was then shrouded in darkness.

    The enhanced vision that was eighty times higher than the vision of ordinary human beings was unable to carry out any of its functions within the coverage of the dark runes.

    However, it was fortunate that he was a gunner, he immediately focused all his conscious energy and took aim at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Over there!¡± That person was able to identify Qin Feng¡¯s location, but in the next moment, he was shivering as cold chills ran down his spine.

    Qin Feng was already behind him!

    ¡°That was quite a nice st!¡±

    Qin Feng spoke calmly as he grasped onto the neck of the mutated human hawk.

    Crack!

    The hawk¡¯s slim neck was snapped and broken.

    Qin Feng took away the firearm from his opponent.

    A thumping sound was heard when the corpsended on the ground. As the dark lights began to disappear from the surroundings, the mutated sphinx that had lost both of his arms to Qin Feng attempted to escape.

    ¡°Darkser!¡±

    The explosive energy from the fire beam might be unable to kill its opponent instantly, but the darkser was a different thing altogether.

    As soon as it was sted onto the body of the victim, physical energy would begin to deteriorate, cells would be decimated, partially healed wounds would begin to bleed, and it was like the immune system had been destroyed entirely.

    ¡°Ugh...ugh...¡±

    While his opponent was still struggling with his body that did not have any remaining energy, Qin Feng raised his gun and took a shot to end his opponent¡¯s life.

    Then, there was nobody else that would dare to go against Qin Feng!

    Workers in theboratory panicked as they did not expect Qin Feng to be so powerful and was capable of such high movement speeds, they did not have enough time for their escape. They were like ducklings that were being chased after, they could only continue to move forward, until they had reached the end of their escape route.

    Fresh blood was shed across the entireboratory.

    Qin Feng was like a devil that had descended upon them.

    None of them could escape alive.

 Chapter 184 - Test Subject 051

    Chapter 184: Test Subject 051

    Qin Feng quickly arrived at the most important spot in the entireboratory.

    The storage room.

    The babies were kept separately in ss boxes, each with different artificially-generated climates. So much effort invested, just to keep these tiny little beasts alive.

    Seeing these little growing monsters, Qin Feng¡¯s expression turned ever colder.

    Despite being stored in individual istion chambers, a dark aura appeared out of thin air beside the little beasts. Since there was no one around, this darkness spread all over the defenseless fledglings, squeezing every bit of breath out of their tiny lungs.

    That was not all. Every single chamber burst into mes, turning it into mini crematoriums for these already dead infants.

    With each step, the istion chamber closest to Qin Feng would start burning like a bonfire. Everyone would know that this was his doing but there was nothing they could do to stop him.

    They were as powerless as the babies writhing about in the mes.

    ¡°Wh-who are you!? Why are you destroying ourb!¡± One of the researchers questioned with a trembling voice.

    There was nothing but pure hatred in Qin Feng¡¯s gaze.

    ¡°Is it not normal for the research facility of a ck organisation to be burnt down to the ground? Why would you even bother asking something so stupid!?¡± Qin Feng taunted.

    The researcher half-assedly tried to cover up the truth. ¡°No, we¡¯re not a ck organisation. We¡¯re just a regr research center!¡±

    ¡°A research center that experiments on mutants that is! One that once robbed caravans and used actual human beings as test subjects! To think that you guys would even abduct an ability user to yourb! You dare tell me that this ain¡¯t a ck organisation!? You certainly have the balls to say such nonsense!¡±

    Qin Feng inched closer.

    ¡°Ahhhhh!¡±

    Scared senseless by Qin Feng¡¯s intimidating presence, one of the researchers broke down mentally and started wildly firing the weapon in his hands. It was naught but a tranquiliser, hence Qin Feng did not even flinch. Stepping to the side, he effortlessly dodged the dart.

    His predatory eyes were now locked onto that researcher. ¡°The sins that you havemitted, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve forgotten all about them? You dare tell me now that this is merely a regr research facility? What else are you gonna tell me? That your experiments are for the greater good of mankind!?¡±

    Hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words, the researchers smirked in unison.

    ¡°That¡¯s right! Our experiments will drive humanity forward! We will retake the globe and once these rifts are stabilised, we will be the ruling overlords!¡±

    ¡°Our actions are justified!¡±

    ¡°You have no right to kill us! You should join our ranks instead!¡±

    Qin Feng knitted his brows.

    ¡°For the greater good of mankind¡± were the exact words that Qin Feng heard from the researchers back in thatboratory just outside Chengbei colony.

    It surprised even him that these people would react so strongly. How dare they use such nonsensical lies to try to win him over.

    Bai Li, who was hiding behind Qin Feng, peeked out to observe the researchers.

    ¡°Hubby, I think they¡¯ve also been hypnotized!¡±

    Qin Feng scanned these unruly men. He was not too sure about the hypnosis thing but he was sure that these people were brainwashed to the core.

    ¡°If that¡¯s so, then why don¡¯t you guys experiment on yourselves first?¡± Qin Feng mocked.

    As much as they were fanatics, these people looked away from Qin Feng, acting as if they had not heard his question.

    To turn themselves into something that was neither human nor monster. What was more, they would grow weaker from battle by the day and their lifespan would reduce drastically.

    How could they do such a thing to themselves?

    They were researchers, precious assets. Only those stupid brutes would sell their lives just to obtain more power.

    Seeing the reactions of these men, Qin Feng sneered.

    ¡°Seems to me that you guys are more executioners than researchers!¡±

    Qin Feng continued striding forward, burning the infants encased within the istion chambers into ck crisp.

    These researchers had nowhere to run.

    At this moment, the main door of the other room was pushed open. A look of fear surfaced on most of their faces but seeing Qin Feng inching closer, they all decided to run into the room together.

    In such a situation, no one was scarier than Qin Feng.

    Just as they had entered the room, screams of agony echoed through theboratory. Soon, the metallic smell of blood came washing over Qin Feng¡¯s senses.

    He sneered. Using his consciousness, he already knew what had happened within the room.

    However, not even an ounce of remorse was felt.

    Confidently, he walked into theboratory.

    Within the room, there were test subjects that appeared even more grotesque than the infant room from before.

    Unfortunately, it was likely that these were once living, speaking humans that had mutated under the researchers¡¯ inhumane experiments. That, or they had been injected with medication that irreversibly turned them into these monsters.

    Buzz Buzz Buzz!

    Several operation stations were switched on, releasing the creatures from their shackles.

    Some of the mindless mutants that had recovered their mobility tore the researchers, whom they were supposed to be familiar with, into shreds. Needless to say, they were going to do the same to Qin Feng, the outsider.

    Qin Feng was now the target of these man-made beasts.

    Thousands of mutants swept toward Qin Feng like a tidal wave.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    In a split-second, the entireboratory turned into a sea of mes.

    A number of high-tech machineries started beeping like crazy, some just exploded like bombs in the fiery hellscape. From these exploded machines, live electrical sparks were sent flying across the room, electrocuting these mutants, causing them to wail in pain.

    These were humans who had mutated from being injected with a beast king¡¯s genes. Still, they were nothing but inferior products of botched experiments.

    Their numbers did not faze Qin Feng. One by one, he executed these mutants, turning theboratory into ground zero of a bloody massacre.

    Suddenly, the remaining speaker in the room that was operational red out. It was Professor Wang¡¯s voice.

    ¡°Bastard! 051, Kill that man! I¡¯ll grant you freedom if you bring me his head!¡±

    Qin Feng instinctively shifted his gaze over to thergest istion chamber that he had yet to destroy. Right then, the steel-reinforced door to that chamber rolled open but whatever mutant that it housed did note out.

    Upon closer inspection, Qin Feng discovered that inside the room was not a monster but a weird-looking man.

    His hair was multi-colored, his lips werepletely ck and his fingernails, jade green. While he was no monster, he looked as revolting as one.

    Apart from those features, there was virtually nothing about him that resembled an ultra beast. And yet, the aura emanating off him was that of a king-tier ultra beast.

    And his abilities, it was E-tier!

    Hearing Professor Wang¡¯s voice, he slowly looked up at Qin Feng.

    ¡°You mean it?¡± The man who the professor referred to as 051 asked.

    ¡°Of course! Have I ever lied to you!?¡± Professor Wang screamed through the mic.

    051 was surprisinglypliant to the Professor. He slowly got up from the ground and walked out of his containment chamber.

    It was at this moment that Qin Feng noticed how small this man was. His footsteps were light, almost weightless and he walked at a casual pace.

    ¡°Oh ho?¡± 051 turned toward Bai Li with a suspicious look. ¡°You¡¯re also a second-stage experiment yourself, aren¡¯t you? Seems like your experimenters did a better job!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s brows furrowed. ¡°What second-stage?¡±

    051 smiled. ¡°Just like me, you can still retain a human form. Though, you also possess the powers of an ultra-beast!¡±

    Bai Li rolled her eyes. It was just an ability she was blessed with, why did humans like to make a big deal out of it?

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, was more rmed.

    Sure enough, runes that glowed green appeared out of thin air. These runes permeated the room, dyeing every corner of the room in the same green hue.

    ¡°Poison!¡± Qin Feng quickly concluded.

    ¡°That¡¯s right! My ability is poison! Such is the power of the Rainbow Rodent!¡± 051 eximed.

 Chapter 185 - Collusion

    <h4>Chapter 185: Collusion</h4>

    The Rainbow Rodent was a special type of mutant. Its origin was not extra-dimensional but developed from the over-polluted corners of this.

    Inparison to the extra-dimensional creatures thate from beyond the rift, its size was not something to boast about. On average, they grew to about a meter long but the emphasis was not on size but what was contained within¡ªa type of toxin.

    This toxin was what made people tremble in fear when encountering it.

    Ever since the apocalypse, the first S-tier threat came from a tidal wave of these Rainbow Rodents that swept across the continent.

    Its toxicity wasparable to the Hell Stone¡¯s polluting source.

    To put it simply, it was extremely lethal.

    Boom!

    The air around Qin Feng burst into mes.

    The runes shed as the strength of the toxin grew. Since the rune¡¯s attribute was that of wood, extreme levels of heat should be able to destroy the toxin.

    Qin Feng maintained the burning mes, turning him into a man of fire.

    In the next moment, his body moved.

    His hand that held the Verdant Emperor Saber was raised high up in the air, ready to slice apart the enemy.

    051 however, had vanished into thin air.

    He was moving faster than lightning!

    Still, Qin Feng was no tortoise either. He had yet to unveil the tricks up his sleeve after all.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Darkness descended from the ceiling, swallowing up the entire room. Everything around them turned blurry in an instant, startling 051 for a moment. He did not expect Qin Feng to possess such an ability.

    ¡°Poison Gas!¡±

    In retaliation, 051 released his toxins. Apart from the bodies that littered the floor, virtually everything else in theboratory was covered in a thickyer of mist, with a blend of green and ck.

    Professor Wang, who was monitoring the security footage, waspletely blind to the battle that was unfolding below.

    That only made the uncertainty he felt in his heart grow greater and greater.

    ¡°Damn it! There¡¯s no other choice. Guess I¡¯ll have to leave this ce. We can¡¯t continue using thisb, not after it¡¯s been discovered by an outsider. What a bloody shame!¡±

    This particrboratory had already been operating for five years. It was through their hard work over the past few years that they had managed to expand its operational capacity to be able to produce a test subject as fine as 051.

    Fortunately, he was able to save the most important thing which was crucial data obtained from those experiments, in the nick of time. If they were able to sessfully move to another research center then all was not lost yet.

    Since thisboratory was not single-handedly established by Professor Wang alone, he did not feel too emotionally attached to this ce. Perhaps giving up this ce would open up an opportunity for him to join an even more interesting research program.

    With those self-reassuring thoughts, Professor Wang retrieved a memory drive.

    Considering how far they hade in their scientific research, the amount of data stored within this memory drive was impossible for a mere human brain to be able to grasp. Only with the help of technology could they store so much information sopactly.

    And while the Professor was engrossed in his own thoughts, the battle in theboratory was only getting more intense. The mixture of mes and toxins was so vtile that it made the entire room distort.

    Both thebatants¡¯ current conditions were vastly different.

    051 was already out of breath. No matter how fast he could go, Qin Feng¡¯s body had better endurance. Under a prolonged but highly-intense battle, the one with a clear disadvantage was naturally 051.

    There was a great disparity in terms of their abilities!

    In the mist of green and ck, the gap was closed between the toxic rat and the burning mes.

    051 knew very well that Qin Feng was inching closer to him by the second. Because of the burning mes shielding him against his opponent, Qin Feng remained unscathed by the toxicity of the mist.

    ¡°Pshh!¡± 051 squirted a mouthful of spit at his opponent. The ball of fluid was a shade of purple so deep that it surprised even Qin Feng.

    And when that purple blob shed with the mes, it exploded like a bomb, spraying purple fluid in every direction. On the floor where some of it was sttered,rge craters were created. If it were to make contact with a human body, the consequences would undoubtedly be grave.

    Though, that did not happen and the expression on 051¡¯s face changed. Qin Feng was nowhere to be seen where he was supposed to be standing.

    In the next moment, a chilling aura came washing over him from the left. Qin Feng¡¯s moves under the cover of darkness were damn near impossible to predict.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s fists, which thrusted into 051¡¯s abdomen, made a thundering boom, showing just how much force was funnelled into that single hit.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    051 yelled out in pain. His entire body was sent flying backward from the immense force, smashing into the ss wall of the room from which he had walked out from.

    This ss wall was military-grade stuff, custom made to be able to withstand even the strongest of all attacks. 051¡¯s collision with the ss wall merely created a crack that spread out like a spider¡¯s web rather than shattering it entirely.

    After all, this ss was an observation panel made to prevent 051 from escaping the room. If not for Qin Feng¡¯s overpowered punch, then logically speaking, this crack should not even exist.

    Without cutting his enemy some ck, Qin Feng rushed forward with saber in hand.

    ¡°Blooming me!¡±

    A fire covered the area from floor to ceiling, removing all prospect of escape for 051!

    Without even the time to get over the pain from the previous hit, nor the pain from the bones Qin Feng had just shattered, he got up on his feet and ran for his life!

    Crash!

    The entire pane of ss was shattered by Qin Feng¡¯s saber.

    Qin Feng¡¯s second attack came in the form of a Fire Beam which cut through the toxic fog, overwhelming 051.

    ¡°AHH!¡±

    051 once again, soaked up the attack which inflicted severe injuries on his body.

    This was not a fair battle between rivals. No, it was more like a game of cat and mouse where 051 was ced at a severe disadvantage!

    ¡°Wait! Hold up! Let¡¯s call it a truce and we¡¯ll talk our way out of this!¡± 051 yelled out but his legs kept on running. His animalistic instincts told him that the danger was far from over so he dared not slow down his pace. One after the other, he dodged Qin Feng¡¯s relentless attacks.

    ¡°What is there to talk about?¡±

    Qin Feng stood still not far from 051. If he detected even the slightest movement, he would start killing.

    After all, 051 had already exhausted his strength. Qin Feng was not in the mood to face further hassles.

    ¡°Why are you here? Perhaps I know something about theboratory that you want to know about? I know more about this ce than Professor Wang because I¡¯m a test subject myself. I¡¯ve spent a full five years here at this ce. That old fart has only been here for little over a year.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes lit up amidst the darkness.

    Who would have thought that this test subject managed to survive such a long time in this ce? If what 051 said was true, then Qin Feng¡¯s interest was piqued.

    Though, Qin Feng was no idiot.

    ¡°Who knows? You might still be one of theirckeys.¡± Qin Feng said coldly.

    ¡°If I were one of them then I wouldn¡¯t be locked up in a cage, right?¡± 051 sarcastically replied.

    ¡°Let¡¯s get down to the basics. What¡¯s this organisation called?¡± Qin Feng started his interrogation.

    No longer sensing any danger, 051¡¯s footsteps slowed down to a halt. Since slowing to a halt took an equally significant amount of energy as speeding up, realisation set in that he had three broken ribs and his entire back was burnt ck. Each step he took was so painful that he could die.

    ¡°The codename for this organisation is Z. It operates like a ck organisation. It has big brothers from different factions funding it so I gotta say, it¡¯s quite powerful!¡±

    Qin Feng was taken aback by the sudden discovery.

    Funded by big brothers from different factions?

    Lin Zheng immediately popped into his mind. Though, to both Qin Feng and 051, Lin Zheng was less of a big brother and more of a pathetic D-tier user.

    ¡°Then, what is the goal of their research? There¡¯s a pretty big difference between your condition and the condition of the humans-turned-mutants!¡±

    051 nodded in agreement. ¡°They¡¯re researching how to awaken the abilities of regr humans, how to turn them into ancient warriors and stuff like that. It is too difficult, too costly to study the heaven and earth spirit aura so most of the test subjectse from earthly beings that have undergone the greatest mutation. The exotic-looking cats, pigs, bears, rats and birds that you see within Fu City were what fueled their research!¡±

    Qin Feng recalled the viper that he had encountered back at Chengbei colony, and that werewolf species that apanied Chen Ming¡¯s emergence.

    Those creatures weremonly found in thend around Chengbei colony.

    Perhaps to further add to Qin Feng¡¯s curiosity, 051 continued, ¡°No matter the test subject¡¯s initial level of strength, once they are injected with specific genomes, they would all grow to the same level as the creature from which the gene was sourced. Though, too many people who were too weak sumbed to its effects after being injected!¡±

 Chapter 186 - Energy Cannon

    Chapter 186: Energy Cannon

    ¡°The G-tier ones are merely semi-finished products. Since their genes have been infected by a foreign strand, they would mutate halfway into a beast, losing all chances of returning to their human form. They¡¯re pretty weak to be honest, around the strength of an ancient warrior, maybe even less. All in all, they¡¯re worthless and would be considered a failed bunch by the researchers.¡±

    ¡°F-tiers can regenerate parts of their bodies that had been wounded in battle by stimting the release of healing substances. These ones, on the other hand, stand on par with a beast general or even a king. They are, in other words, a great leap in terms of durability as well asbat capability from the former tier! However, the setbacks are also pretty clear. They¡¯d lose their human intellect and the regeneration process can only be done after the battle, when the body is somewhere safe.¡±

    ¡°As for an E-tier being... well, you¡¯re looking at one. My kind can possess the strengths of a mutant while simultaneously retaining our human form. Though, as you can see, there would be some changes to certain parts of our body, like the hair, pupils, fingernails, etc. Not all is perfect is what I¡¯m trying to say.¡±

    ¡°Then, were there no D-tier, C-tier mutants created from these experiments?¡± Qin Feng murmured.

    ¡°I do think they exist. They¡¯re gonna be much stronger, and naturally, the goal of their research would be different than ours. From what I¡¯ve experienced, the researchers threw me in all sorts of experiments, trying to turn me into aplete beast!¡±

    051 was strong, but he was far from being the strongest. For one, he definitely was not on the same level as a beast king-tier Rainbow Rodent.

    Though, should the daye where he advances into one, he would undoubtedly be able to hold off ten thousand men on his own.

    Qin Feng knew well that for the D, C-tier beasts, the researchers¡¯ aim would no longer be to gain knowledge on the mutation process but to reverse-engineer high-tier ultra beasts¡¯ genes.

    Perhaps, in the end, they would even be able to replicate the genes of a dragon.

    Before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, back when he did not know about the Z Organization yet, there was already a significant number of mutants running around within the ck organization.

    He did not expect the R&D branch of Z Organization to be so well-established.

    As both of themid down arms, the ck-green mist that shrouded the room gradually cleared away.

    The room was in tatters and so was 051. Qin Feng on the other hand, was virtually unharmed in the intense skirmish. Though, even more eye-catching than Qin Feng¡¯s condition was Bai Li.

    051 looked at her with widened eyes. It appeared that Bai Li was standing exactly where she was before the battle erupted; there were no signs of her moving away from the battleground. However, when 051 and Qin Feng shed, he did not feel her presence, not one bit as the entireboratory was trashed from floor to ceiling.

    Bai Li of course, used her abilities to hide within a void which allowed her to observe the battle while being shielded against all attacks!

    As 051¡¯s eyes remained glued to Bai Li, she suddenly opened her mouth and said, ¡°Look closely at me!¡±

    The aura of a beast queen erupted. Since all beasts adhered to the concept of hierarchy, the Rainbow Rodent acknowledged in an instant, that he was no match for the void beast no matter how capable he was.

    Bai Li belonged to a species that reigned supreme at the top of the food chain.

    In mere seconds, 051¡¯s mind waspletely hijacked.

    ¡°Tell me about yourself before you came to thisboratory.¡±

    051¡¯s pupils erged and without a second of hesitation, he blurted out the truthpletely, as instructed. ¡°I was an orphan in Fu City. Upon graduation from middle school, I awakened my wood-attribute abilities and on the second day, I was abducted to thisboratory.¡±

    It never crossed Qin Feng¡¯s mind that he and 051 shared such a simr past. Unfortunately, this meant that many more before him had been abducted in the same fashion and many more would continue to go through such hardships.

    051 had been here for the past five years. Before his rebirth, Qin Feng himself struggled in such a ce for a full decade and thus, he dropped the final wall of defense against this poor man.

    Bai Li nodded her head and released her consciousness that bound 051¡¯s mind. Recovering from his restrained mental state, he looked at Bai Li with terror in his eyes.

    Such powers. How was it possible that she was able to use her consciousness against him, an ability user whose own consciousness was deemed by many, a force to be reckoned with?

    ¡°Yo-you... what are you!?¡± 051¡¯s paranoia reached its peak.

    Bai Li replied to his question without second thoughts. ¡°I am his girlfriend!¡±

    ¡°...¡±

    Although there was nothing technically wrong with her introduction, was it not kind of weird to introduce oneself in such a straightforward way?

    051 was stunned by Bai Li¡¯s words.

    The mixture of auras between a man, a mutant and a beast king¡ªthe awkwardness in the air escted pretty quickly.

    As most of the mist had cleared away, the surveince camera footage was finally able to show the happenings within the destroyedboratory.

    Seeing Qin Feng unscathed and 051 slumped on the floor, Professor Wang¡¯s face grimaced.

    ¡°And to think that I had originally nned to get two bodies by the end of the day for research purposes. It seems that I have been too naive. If you want to act that way, so be it! Time for you all to die!¡±

    Professor Wang pressed on a buttonbelled ¡°open¡±.

    In the next moment, the ceiling of the chamber that once held 051 broke open. From the dark chasm above, a massive cannon descended.

    In the muzzle of the massive cannon, an azure glow was intensifying.

    The facial expressions of Qin Feng and 051 changed in an instant.

    Never in his life had Qin Feng seen such arge piece of machinery. It was evenrger than the energy cannons fixed on top of the walls of either Chengbei colony or Fu City.

    For such a weapon to go off in an enclosed space, even an E-tier beast would suffer near-fatal wounds from the st.

    Humans, being the weak creatures they were, simply would not be able to withstand the cannonfire at point nk.

    ¡°Wang Ang, YOU, PIECE, OF, SH*T! F*****CK!¡±, 051 yelled out hysterically.

    How was it possible that in the past five years, 051 did notsh out like that when ced under threat?

    To be honest, he was considered one of the more ¡°obedient¡± test subjects within theboratory. Despite his abilities increasing everyday, he dared not speak back against the researchers, let alone attack them. Of course, that was all in order to bide time before making his great escape.

    And now, when hope was at its peak, despair unexpectedly set in 051¡¯s heart.

    This was an upgraded energy cannon, with tremendous lethality. Though, the extent of its effects had been fine-tuned to cover just thisboratory. Upon firing, an energy would be created, trapping everyone within its area of effect, turning thisb into an inescapable tomb.

    While Rainbow Rodents were, as its name suggested, rodents, 051 did not possess the digging ability of rodents so the chances of escape was pretty much null!

    As he soaked in despair, Qin Feng maintained his calm under pressure.

    ¡°Xiao Bai! Bring us away from here, him included!¡± Qin Feng pointed to 051.

    In a fraction of a second, Bai Li, alongside Qin Feng and 051 disappeared into thin air.

    Almost at the same time, a blinding ray enveloped the entireboratory, vaporising the entire room including the surveince camera.

    Professor Wang cackled. Removing the data disk, he hurriedly ran out of theboratory.

    At that exact moment, the entire facility was shing red.

    [Self-destruct system activated¡ªSelf-destruction in 3 minutes!]

    [Please exit the facility immediately!]

    Professor Wang¡¯s pace was consistent but not too fast. One of the researchers who was still alive but had suffered heavy injuries reached out to the professor desperately. ¡°Bring me with you, Sir. Professor, I¡¯m not dead yet! You still need my help, don¡¯t you?¡±

    Professor Wang did not even spare the man a look.

    In the next instant, Professor Wang had already stepped into the emergency escape shaft. Turning on the ignition of a hover car, he escaped the ce via a secret tunnel.

    At the same time, Qin Feng, 051 and Bai Li reappeared on the great mountain which housed the research facility.

    051 could not believe his eyes. He had finally escaped from his death.

    ¡°Hmph, let¡¯s see where you can go!¡±

    Qin Feng was still piseed.

    Soon after Bai Li had brought the both of them out of theboratory, someone from the outside had activated the facility¡¯s self-destruct function. Qin Feng, not wanting to idle around the ticking time bomb, left the great mountain without giving chase to the damned professor.

    Somehow, he felt that Professor Wang would make his appearance soon. Qin Feng was excited at the thought of seeing the professor¡¯s face at the sight of them outside the facility.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness expanded to cover the entire mountain. It was not even two minutester that he noticed something jutting out awkwardly from a boulder. Sure enough, a massive cavity appeared and from within it emerged a hover car.

 Chapter 187 - Joint Revenge

    <h4>Chapter 187: Joint Revenge</h4>

    Grasped in Qin Feng¡¯s hand was a mean-looking hand cannon.

    Without hesitation, he switched off its safety mechanism, sending a live round flying toward his intended target. A wide, yellow arc appeared in the sky as it trailed the escaping hover car.

    Professor Wang, who was seated in that very hover car, was wide-eyed at what was going on.

    The interior of the hover car was filled with a beeping noise, rming him that he was being locked on by a projectile. Still, there was nothing he could do to stop the force of the projectile.

    Boom!

    The projectile smashed into the body of the hover car, which was immediately covered by a bright ball of energy wave.

    This light wave was a function that was mandatorily installed in every vehicle headed out for the battlefield. It served two functions. One, to blind enemy ultra beasts and two, to jam or confuse missilesunched at the vehicle from an enemy position.

    However, this function would eat up a lot of energy and would not activate if energy reserves were running low for the vehicle.

    Without a doubt, this projectile from Qin Feng was specially designated to take down E-tier ultra beasts. Under the control of his consciousness, it was not led astray by the vehicle¡¯s defensive mechanism and smashed through its energy barrier cleanly without suffering much damage itself.

    The shimmering white ball in the sky gradually grew dimmer and soon, it turnedpletely transparent. In a split second, the shock from the explosion, as well as the kic energy, delivered by the projectile itself sted the vehicle out of the sky.

    At midnight, the roof of the house was leaking heavily as rain continued pouring from the sky. Suddenly, a loud noiseing from the mountains echoed through the air.

    A massive shockwave followed the noise.

    It was the self-destruct system activated by Professor Wang moments ago. The entire research facility was vaporised in an instant, suddenly creating a massive cavity within the mountain which in turn, had the effects of arge-scale earthquake for nearbynds.

    Like arge boulder, Professor Wang¡¯s hover car rolled down the side of the mountain as it quaked.

    Both Bai Li and Qin Feng climbed onto the umbra stallion and immediately made their escape from the massive shockwave that was going to hit them if they remained there for a moment longer.

    051 did not fear the rumbling ground. Finding a random rock, he floated in mid-air using the power of his consciousness.

    The only unfortunate one here was none other than Professor Wang!

    Under Qin Feng¡¯s orders, the umbra stallion galloped over to the hover car¡¯s crash site. It did not take long for them to locate the escaping Professor Wang.

    At this point, the mountain was no longer shaking as it was moments ago. Upon closer inspection, the inside of the vehicle was sttered red all over with the Professor¡¯s blood.

    Just one nce was enough to tell them that this Professor Wang was already dead.

    Perhaps this was what they called, ¡°instant karma¡±.

    To be honest Qin Feng originally nned to spare the professor¡¯s life. He had a lot of questions that he hoped the professor would answer himself.

    ¡°There¡¯s this too!¡± Bai Li waved her hand in the air. She was holding a silver-looking button. No doubt, it was a spatial runic equipment.

    ¡°This must be something the guy wanted to bring with him! It¡¯s gotta have something to do with his research. So my attack wasn¡¯t in vain at all, huh?¡±, Qin Feng muttered to himself. Having stumbled upon this, he had no choice but to take a closer look at what was in store for him.

    ¡°So, what do we do now?¡±

    ¡°Why, we leave this ce of course! Since there was an explosion, the people living in the closest colony would definitelye investigating to see if a new rift has appeared or to see if an earthquake has happened.¡±

    Qin Feng had Bai Li retrieve their hover car. Both of them climbed onto the vehicle but 051 remained motionless on the ground below.

    ¡°Get on!¡± Qin Feng urged.

    ¡°That... how do you even open this thing? This is pretty neat ain¡¯t it!? I¡¯ve never seen such a thing up close before!¡± 051 shuffled around nervously.

    Before being abducted and brought to theboratory, 051 was just a teenager. Now that five years that were filled with insanity and suicidal tendencies had passed, he had finally obtained his long-overdue freedom. Though unfortunate, he was left behind by the progress of technological development.

    With each new day that passed outside theboratory, the harder it got for him to ept what tragedy had befallen him.

    Qin Feng empathized with the man. With the click of a button, the door of the luxurious car opened up inward, revealing its interior which looked like the room of a five-star hotel.

    051 climbed into the car. At this moment, the threatening aura of an E-tier mutant had faded away, leaving only what looked like a country bumpkin setting foot in a car for the first time.

    ¡°Out here in this world, it is very rare for one to reach E-tier within five years¡¯ time.¡± Qin Feng said nonchntly.

    051 responded with a wry smile. ¡°Then, am I supposed to thank theb?¡±

    ¡°Nah, not that. You should thank them for giving you powers to exact revenge on them instead. How does infiltrating and exposing these crooks sound? The both of us of course. We can work together!¡±

    051 studied Qin Feng¡¯s face. His expression was calm so he was definitely not joking about that.

    ¡°Alright!¡± 051 replied. Though, most of the reason why he agreed so quickly was that he had nowhere else to go.

    Qin Feng was not surprised by 051¡¯s response.

    ¡°Given your current powers, you should be able to lead a small colony of your own. However, since you¡¯re still a mutant, if anything unexpected happens, say for example, you losing your intellect, I¡¯d have to bear the responsibility entirely on my own. For now, you should just rest in my colony.¡±

    ¡°Okay! I swear I won¡¯t cause any problems!¡± 051 said while nodding.

    ¡°Don¡¯t sweat it. I¡¯ll create an identity for you when we get home. You should be fine if you get your hair dyed as well as some colour lenses. Whatever you¡¯re unfamiliar with, be patient and try learning about it. It¡¯s just five years¡¯ time.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± 051 nodded. ¡°Thank you, really!¡± he added.

    The hover car¡¯s battlework system was muchrger than the portable ones that weremonly worn on one¡¯s wrists. Qin Feng continued his exnations throughout the journey and allowed 051 to surf the web for better understanding of the current world.

    In reality, not much had changed after five years.

    Perhaps the only difference was that the human poption had once again, dropped drastically. Though, where one colony fell, another would be established!

    When considered as a whole, nothing much had happened in the past five years.

    Qin Feng also took the chance to properly introduce himself and Bai Li to 051. Apart from that, he also consulted 051 for some opinions.

    ¡°What was your name before the whole abduction incident? Would you like to have it back or would you like a new one?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s fine. Since I¡¯ve grown ustomed to 051, let¡¯s just stick to this one!¡±

    ¡°Then, let¡¯s use its homonym[1]. We can¡¯t just call you a bunch of numbers can we?¡±

    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll choose Lin as my surname. As for myst name, Wuyi!¡±

    After epting his new name, Wuyi started checking the while tending to his wounds. Qin Feng set the car on auto-pilot with Fengli colony as its destination before looking into Professor Wang¡¯s spatial runic equipment.

    There were not many things stored within it¡ªfirstly, there were three ubelled ck cards that appeared to have been thrown in casually. Still, it contained a grand total of 150 million yuan. To think that Z Organization¡¯s research facility would possess so much cash on hand.

    Apart from this, there were some petri dishes that contained random cell cultures. Ultra beast materials were few and far between, andstly, there was this sealed box.

    Wuyi¡¯s brows knitted the moment his eyes came across this box.

    ¡°I¡¯ve seen them deliver such boxes before. They should contain confidential documents and a password is needed to unlock it. Apart from that, it also needs the right fingerprint, body temperature and pupil verification which must all match the original owner, else the item within would be destroyed immediately!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered.

    ¡°After the apocalypse, human technology could no longer match supernatural abilities! Xiao Bai!¡±

    Hearing Qin Feng¡¯s call, Bai Li raised her finger at the box.

    One secondter, the item supposedly stored within the box appeared out of thin air. It was a finger-length memory disk.

    [1] 051 in mandarin pinyin is ¡°Lin Wu Yi¡± hence the name, Lin Wuyi.

 Chapter 188 - Return to Fengli

    <h4>Chapter 188: Return to Fengli</h4>

    So this was what Professor Wang wanted to take away with him.

    Looking down at the memory disk in his hand, Qin Feng¡¯s expression turned cold and serious. Carefully, he inserted the disk into hismunicator.

    The moment the disk was inserted, a tidal wave of information from the disk overwhelmed his senses.

    There were too many things that even Qin Feng was clueless about. Though, there was no need to study every little detail. No, he just needed to see what the end results were.

    Upon seeing a list of names, Qin Feng fell silent.

    This list contained the names of the people from Fu City who were funding the research facility.

    His facial expression gradually changed.

    It was apparent that this facility was notpletely unknown within Fu City.

    These people, whether voluntarily or not, had all given consent to the atrocities that were being conducted in their facility. It gave Qin Feng a feeling that the facility of this ck organization had long entrenched itself within yet another colony.

    Organizations like these were like incurable diseases, slowly eating away at the young and healthy people of the colonies.

    ¡®I guess from now on, we¡¯ll try to avoid Fu City at all costs? Thank God that the next big thing that¡¯ll happen won¡¯t be involving this damned city!¡¯ thought Qin Feng. ¡®But this Z Organization... just what are they? The more I find out about them, the more I¡¯m impressed by them!¡¯

    Before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, he had been involved in numerous ck organizations, each with simr degrees of research capability as this one. However, this one in particr waspletely unheard of before, which made Qin Feng all the more curious about its existence.

    The organization he was facing was entirely shrouded in mystery.

    Anyhow, this obscure organization only served to fuel Qin Feng¡¯s motivation to continue digging around.

    He needed closure for what he had experienced in his previous life.

    And now, joining Qin Feng¡¯s rank was yet another person seeking revenge. With the neer¡¯s help, he believed that sooner orter, they would be able to dig this organization up and finish it off for good.

    After travelling continuously for two days, the hover car had finally arrived at Fengli colony!

    Half a month¡¯s time was enough for most of the colony¡¯s structures to bepleted. Qin Feng¡¯s return was pretty much on everybody¡¯s lips.

    ¡°Big Boss, I can¡¯t believe that Fu City has awarded you guys with an E-tier aptitude user¡¯s badge!¡± Wang Chen congratted Qin Feng and Bai Li after discovering the badges pinned on both of their chests.

    While he knew that Qin Feng¡¯s ability was that of an E-tier user, being awarded an aptitude user¡¯s badge was a whole other matter.

    This meant that his powers had been officially recognised by legal authorities.

    One must consider the person¡¯s age when looking at this matter. Qin Feng was just sixteen years old or seventeen,e next month.

    Having such powers at such a young age, this was pretty impressive!

    ¡°Yep, the stuff they give out there¡¯s the real deal!¡± Qin Feng replied. Though, he refrained from delving too deep about what this ¡°real deal¡± was.

    ¡°I need your help. Get someone to buy some hair dye and a pair of colored lenses! Make him appear as normal as you can.¡± Qin Feng said while pointing toward Lin Wuyi.

    ¡°Yes sir! I¡¯ll head off immediately!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s assigned secretary, Shang Na, replied in an instant. Though, before leaving the room, she did not forget to bow slightly to Qin Feng. Her eyes at that moment were filled with gratitude and loyalty.

    ¡°Sir, believe it or not, the person you brought back earlier is actually my aunt. Truly, thank you, Sir!¡± Shang Na said before exiting the room.

    Wang Chen smiled at Qin Feng. ¡°She¡¯s talking about that person who you¡¯ve assigned the task to overlook the street-sweeping duties from before, the one called Shang Xian. Both of them are living together here now. With someone to count on, I think life for them wouldn¡¯t be as bad as it was before!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. The mood of his subordinates directly affected the effectiveness of the team as a whole; a grudge between him and his secretary would be significantly detrimental to their operations.

    Han Town was a rtively small ce. At this point, most of the survivors were being dug out by their own people. If they were to wait for Shi Tianhai to officially start the rescue campaign, the survivors would have been long dead!

    Who cares!? At this day and age, strength reigned supreme. Now that Qin Feng had already reached E-tier, there was little Shi Tianhai could do to harm him no matter how much grudge he held in his heart.

    It did not take long for Shang Na to return with some hair and immediately after that, she started dealing with his hair. Those who caught wind of Qin Feng¡¯s return soon came piling into the room to make their reports.

    One of them was Liu Xue, who shouldered the most important responsibility¡ªkeeping an ount of the inflow of goods into the colony.

    Making sure that Xue Xingfu was not in the room, Liu Xue whispered into Qin Feng¡¯s ears. ¡°Mayor, you¡¯ve brought a ton of items back to our colony, huh? It¡¯s quite the injection into our local economy. Perhaps you might want to make some changes to the shares. Do you think that...¡±

    If it were Liu Xue from before, speaking to Qin Feng in such a manner waspletely out of the question. However, things changed after Qin Feng had obtained his new status as an E-tier user.

    As the saying goes, a mountain cannot hold two tigers. Two strong voices running Fengli colony was obviously a brewing disaster waiting to unfold.

    ¡°Yeah, but I¡¯d like to hold on for just a bit longer. It¡¯s still insufficient at this stage.¡± Qin Feng replied. ¡°I don¡¯t like to lose out on the deal but neither do I want to burn bridges that I have painstakingly built. If that dayes, I will definitelypensate Mayor Zheng!¡±

    Liu Xue nodded in agreement.

    The more Qin Feng¡¯s ability grew, the easier it was for Zheng Yang to ept thepensation.

    Though, now was not the time to discuss such matters.

    After that, it was Xue Xingfu, He Ling and Zhou Xiang¡¯s turn to give Qin Feng a report on the colony¡¯s security perimeter. Since autumn wasing, the number of ultra beasts would start decreasing so that was not too much of a problem.

    When it was Xue Xingfu¡¯s turn to speak, what came out of his mouth stunned Qin Feng.

    Xue Xingfu ced a gold-embossed invitation card onto Qin Feng¡¯s hands.

    ¡°Wanzong Organization¡¯s holding a transcendental auction at Sea City. If I may ask, who are you nning to send over this time, Big Boss?¡±

    At such an auction, one would undoubtedly find countless precious items up for bid.

    The auctions that the organization held were separated into three different tiers: heaven-tier, earth-tier and the final tier, the transcendental-tier.

    The fancy names were more of a gimmick than anything. In actuality, the former two tiers were just your run-of-the-mill auctions offering low-level items to low-level bidders.

    The items offered at such auctions would be E-tier at best. Perhaps a D-tier item would find its way in but such urrences were extremely rare.

    Of course, there were alsorge-scale private trade fairs that handled sub-par items which were mostly G-tier.

    Even so, these G-tier items were what brought food onto the table for these low-level colonies.

    Contrary to what one might believe, there was arge margin of profit to be made in such ces.

    ¡°Let mee with!¡± Qin Feng replied immediately.

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s puffy face glowed with excitement.

    ¡°If that¡¯s the case then how much capital do you n to start with?¡±

    Currently, the colony already had tens of thousands of ck steel armor tes in its inventory. These could be used to exchange for cold hard cash which they could then use for transactions at the fair.

    Qin Feng thought about it for a while before giving his answer. ¡°I¡¯ll let you have 1 billion yuan¡¯s worth of goods. I need you to start work on Fengli¡¯s warehouse though, to house those goods!¡±

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Liu Xue on the other hand, was surprised by the mayor¡¯s decision. ¡°But Sir, we don¡¯t have that kind of money!¡±

    She was right. Those ck steel armor tes were worth two to three hundred million at best.

    ¡°I know that. But that event¡¯s half a month away. We¡¯ll be able toe up with that amount somehow!¡± Qin Feng reassured her.

    Liu Xue had no choice but to back down.

    Now that the important stuff had been dealt with, it was time to create a new identity for his newfound friend, Lin Wuyi. The power Qin Fengmanded had grown significantly since thest time he was here. He managed to forge a new identity for the man with little to no effort and temporarily, Wu Yi was granted the status of an honorary elder in the colony.

    To put it simply, Wu Yi did not necessarily need to perform any tasks and Fengli colony had to make sure that he was well-fed and well-clothed.

    As for Qin Feng, together with Bai Li, they returned to Chengbei colony.

    Since Fengli colony was just partiallypleted, Chengbei colony was the closest city to them.

    While handling Lin Wuyi¡¯s new identity, Qin Feng was reminded of something about Bai Li. It had been quite a long time since hisst visit to that orphanage. He nned to take a break for a day and on the next day, he would pay Lin Derong a visit. He wanted to ask if he would like to move his orphanage over to Fengli colony.

    Hopefully, Mayor Zheng would not me him for baiting his citizens away. After all, talents like him were rare toe by!

 Chapter 189 - The Xin Familyâ€™s Treacherous Banquet

    <h4>Chapter 189: The Xin Family¡¯s Treacherous Banquet</h4>

    Returning to a human colony from the killing fields, everything appeared tranquil¡ªthe metallic smell of blood that constantly lingered in one¡¯s senses was nonexistent and so was violence that gued the battlefield. For once, Qin Feng was able to catch a good night¡¯s sleep without any disturbance.

    On the second day, Qin Feng arrived at the orphanage.

    The Qin Feng of today waspletely different from what he was before.

    He was an E-tier aptitude user now!

    His identity reflected his social standing.

    A passerby volunteering at the institution was wide-eyed bumping into Qin Feng.

    ¡°What¡¯s today¡¯s date? Why is such a significant figureing to the orphanage!?¡±

    Muttering to himself, he watched Qin Feng and Bai Li strut over to the director¡¯s office.

    And at that moment, a noise came from behind the office¡¯s door.

    ¡°Director Lin! Why are you so persistent in doing things the hard way!? Do you really want me to go violent on you? You gotta be more careful when you are speaking to me! One twist and I¡¯ll snap your bones in two! Old geezer, you can¡¯t afford this injury y¡¯know!?¡±

    A slight anger could be heard in Lin Derong¡¯s voice when he replied.

    ¡°Oh ho, I have old bones, yes. So what if you snap them in half?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face contorted with anger.

    Funneling internal strength into his feet, he arrived at the doorstep of the office within a few seconds.

    Bang!

    Without hesitation, he forcefully kicked open the door.

    Sitting on Lin Derong¡¯s chair was an arrogant man with his legs disrespectfully ced above his work desk.

    The sudden loud noise startled the gangster but he continued ignoring it, thinking that it was just another one of the teachers at the orphanage. Perhaps he was just here to beg for mercy at the sight of Lin Derong being threatened.

    It was nothing but an ant¡¯s struggle, he assumed!

    ¡°Get the hell out of here! Your voice holds no weight here!¡± That gangster¡¯s voice boomed. It was an F-tier aptitude user with all his abilities maxed-out.

    Recognising Qin Feng¡¯s silhouette, the anxious look on Lin Derong¡¯s face turned into one of surprise.

    The surprised look on his face surfaced as soon as his eyes met the E-tier aptitude user¡¯s badge proudly disyed on Qin Feng¡¯s chest.

    ¡°Get the hell out of here? Me? Too bad! It¡¯s you who should piss off!¡± Qin Feng roared back.

    Withrge strides, Qin Feng approached the man.

    It was then that the gangster realised that his intimidation had no effect on Qin Feng. Originally thinking that he was just another hot-headed teenager from the orphanage, in the next instant he was pulled back by an immense force.

    Alongside the chair, the man was sent head over heels backward.

    Fortunately, he had made some preparations of his own. Pressing down on the armrest of the chair, heunched himself into the air before doing a backflip andnding wlessly in front of Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face was well-known across the city. Recognising that mug of his, the man called out in astonishment.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    His brows furrowed.

    Since the man recognised him, could it be that he was the cause of Lin Derong being on the receiving end of these threats?

    The man scanned Qin Feng from head to toe, as if appraising a piece of antique. As soon as his eyes met the item on his chest, a jolt had visibly run through him.

    E-tier!

    Beads of cold sweat had appeared on the forehead of the once high and mighty man who threatened the director.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Have you gone mute? Where did the man from before go?¡± Qin Feng prodded with bloodlust in his eyes.

    If the enemy had any problems with him, they should just face him mano a mano instead of harming those around him like a bunch of cowards.

    Whether it was Lin Derong or Zhou Hao, they were all men who had changed the trajectories of their lives through their own sheer effort. Qin Feng did not want to see anyone messing with these people because of him.

    This was his way of rebelling against God.

    Hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words, the man broke out in cold sweat.

    The arrogant words that once spewed out of his mouth spewed out no more.

    With great difficulty, he swallowed a mouthful of water. ¡°Ma-mayor Qin, I am here in the name of the Xin family. We wanted to invite you to a banquet celebrating our lord¡¯s sixtieth birthday!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered.

    ¡°You Xin people have a pretty unique way of inviting guests, don¡¯t you?¡±

    Lin Derong recovered his vigor. He already had ns to go down fighting¡ªbetter to die on one¡¯s feet than to live life on one¡¯s knees! Who would have thought that Qin Feng would be here to give him a much needed surprise.

    It was just three months ago since his awakening injection but somehow, Qin Feng managed to grow his strength at such an rming pace!

    This defied heaven¡¯sws!

    ¡°Every year, Lord Xin celebrates his birthday, they¡¯d entertain guests from all around and at the same time, a littlepetition would be held to flex their might. Rewards would be handed out to all the young ones in their family who are participating inbat. Them inviting you to such a feast sounds like trouble to me!¡± Lin Derong whispered to Qin Feng.

    This was the reason why Lin Derong turned down the Xin family¡¯s invitation.

    However, it soon became apparent that the man had a change of ns. Lin Derong was to be knocked unconscious and taken away as bait to lead Qin Feng into the lion¡¯s den.

    As if by fate, Qin Feng presented himself before the man could carry out his nefarious n against the director.

    With the director¡¯s words still fresh in his mind, Qin Feng had a rough understanding of the current situation.

    ¡°Sorry for startling you, Director!¡±

    ¡°This is nothing to worry about!¡±

    On the surface, it seemed to be a rtively miniscule issue.

    However, to theckey of the Xin family, it was something he had to report back to the family as soon as possible.

    Qin Feng turned over to look at the man. The warm, gentle smile that he had when facing Lin Derong had faded away in an instant, leaving just the face of a cold-blooded killer.

    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I will be attending in ce of the director! Pass me the invitation card!¡±

    The man stumbled backward and searched the tabletop in panic. He picked up a fancy-looking card, its font embossed in gold, and nervously handed it over to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, I won¡¯t be giving you anymore trouble since the card has already been safely handed over to you. Well then, please excuse me for my departure!¡±

    Shamelessly, the man ran with his tail between his legs!

    But how could Qin Feng let this man get away so easily?

    It was disrespectful to juste and go so briefly¡ªthis was not a pit stop for a man like him.

    If Qin Feng had not dropped by this ce, God knows what would have happened to Lin Derong!

    He must teach this bastard a lesson!

    ¡°Did I allow you to leave?¡± Qin Feng ced his hand on the man¡¯s shoulder to stop him from leaving. It was not that theckey did not try to escape but instead, he found himself held back by Qin Feng¡¯s death grip.

    ¡°What was it that you said earlier? You wanted to snap the director¡¯s bones in two, I recall? Let¡¯s find out if you actually have the means to do that!¡±

    His hand that rested on the man¡¯s shoulder mped shut.

    Crack!

    The crisp sound of bones breaking was perfectly audible. It appeared that Qin Feng had crushed the man¡¯s shoulder des into powder.

    ¡°Arghhh!¡± The man let out a blood-curdling scream.

    As if that was not enough pain inflicted, Qin Feng reached for the other shoulder.

    As he was still an F9-tier ancient warrior, an intense surge of internal strength poured out from his body upon realising Qin Feng¡¯s intentions, shielding his body from harm.

    Smack!

    Qin Feng¡¯s palm once again pped down on the man¡¯s shoulder.

    An evenrger wave of internal strength flowed out from his palms, shing against the man¡¯s power. In the blink of an eye, the man¡¯s defense waspletely torn down by Qin Feng¡¯s power.

    Crack!

    His shoulder splintered.

    Gritting his teeth, the man redirected his internal strength into his feet which propelled him forward, dashing away from Qin Feng.

    Gaining immense speed within a split-second, this man ran in the direction left of Qin Feng before leaping high up into the air.

    Crash!

    The sound of ss shattering filled the room. Without slowing down, the man smashed through the window and leapt out of the building.

    Lin Derong¡¯s office was situated quite high up in the building; a normal human being would never be able to survive a fall from this height.

    Though, the same could not be said for an ancient warrior. Like a wall-gecko, the man¡¯s feet remained stuck to the side of the building as he sprinted straight down, toward the ground.

    Qin Feng hurried over to the window and as soon as he could, he channelled his internal strength into the ss shards that were still falling mid-air to prevent them from falling further and potentially harming innocent bystanders below.

    ¡°Sh*t!¡±

    The number of deadly ss shards plummeting toward the ground was uncountable.

    From far below, painful wails could be heard alongside the sound of ss pieces smashing onto the sidewalk below.

 Chapter 190 - Crawling Away

    <h4>Chapter 190: Crawling Away</h4>

    Lin Derong was horrified.

    With two seemingly effortless moves, Qin Feng managed to send an F9-tier ancient warrior running without even thinking of retaliation.

    He looked down from the window that had been busted open. Thatckey had, to his surprise, survived the fall but at the cost of two broken legs. Still, remaining in close proximity with Qin Feng was not an option. Using his jaw and his abdomen, he crawled away with his injuries like a worm on the ground.

    Although it was a miserable sight to look at, especially for the soft-hearted and virtuous Lin Derong who had loyally served his people all these years, he could not help but feel a sense of relief.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you truly have my respect boy! I¡¯m impressed!¡± Lin Derong sighed but with a smile.

    He was delighted to see one of his children finally ¡°make it¡± in society!

    ¡°Director, apologies for any troubles caused!¡±

    ¡°No, it¡¯s me who has troubled you. Look at you, you¡¯ve grown up too fast! All this old man¡¯s gonna do is hold you back!¡±

    ¡°Please don¡¯t say such a thing, Sir. I¡¯d be d to have you hold me back for a lifetime!¡± Qin Feng replied firmly.

    ¡°Hahahaha!¡± Lin Derongughed heartily.

    Both of them proceeded to talk about current affairs and the events that had unfolded in the past month or two. Qin Feng then discovered that Lin Derong too, had experienced a massive change in his life.

    After Qin Feng¡¯s rise to power at the newly-established colony, word about it soon spread around Chengbei colony, sending Lin Derong¡¯s poprity up into the heavens. Some of the big shots here came by to butter up Lin Derong, with hopes of making some profit out of his rtionship with the young mayor.

    Lin Derong obviously could not turn down these rich folks as their approach was well-calcted¡ªthey only provided donations for the orphanage without explicitly stating their aim.

    Lin Derong let the money sit idly out of fear of these unscrupulous men asking him favors which he would be obliged to ept if he were to spend even a single cent of it. Oftentimes, their demands would be over-the-top and be near impossible to meet. His failure would only serve to create unnecessary grudges with these men.

    Since Qin Feng was here, Lin Derong made sure to exin the tough spot he was in to the man in order to avoid misunderstandings, like him using Qin Feng¡¯s name indiscriminately to gather donations and such.

    ¡°Never once, have I heard of anyone refunding donations! ept it Sir, use it as it was intended to be used!¡± Qin Feng advised. ¡°Before I forget, Sir, I¡¯d like you to move your orphanage over to Fengli colony. That ce is under my control and I¡¯d like these orphans to get the best treatment they could possibly have. From now on, they would be the mainstay of our colony!¡±

    Starting from scratch, human capital was an extremely precious resource. In theing decade, Qin Feng wanted to establish Fengli colony as a ce that would earn the envy of other colonies.

    He had the means to do so.

    He also possessed the willpower to achieve this dream.

    However, this project needed much more than that from Qin Feng.

    But this should not be a problem!

    ¡°Sure! This old man can still move like a young boy!¡± Lin Derong beamed.

    This time, him moving was not one that was done out of fear. No, its motivation waspletely different!

    After discussing further with Lin Derong about the matter, Qin Feng bid the orphanage farewell.

    The invitation card issued by the Xin family was stored into his spatial runic equipment. However, Qin Feng had a photographic memory of the content printed on it.

    He never thought that after suffering great losses, the Xin family would still dare to approach him.

    If that was the case then they should not me him for beating the dog in front of the lion.

    He, Qin Feng, was not someone you could push around and get away with it so easily.

    There was still three days before the stated date on the card. Of course, Qin Feng would not sit idly by, waiting for these three days to pass.

    ¡°Both fleshly strength and consciousness have already reached the E-tier. It¡¯s impossible to fine-tune these two in such a short amount of time. However, it seems that my internal strength hasn¡¯t reached E-tier yet so we¡¯ll probably work on that!¡±

    The best alternative to Asteroid Assimtion was the skill of absorption, used on specially-blended elixirs.

    One such elixir was the chakra pill, an F-tier item. However, due to its slow rate of absorption, Qin Feng decided not to use it.

    ¡°What we need the most now is the Huizhen Elixir!¡±

    Without leaving even a second to spare, Qin Feng connected to the battlework and searched for said elixir that was currently for sale. Since there was a limited supply that would refresh each day, it was cut-throat expensive, at three million a pop.

    Today¡¯s supply of Huizhen Elixir had been sold outpletely.

    Though, Qin Feng knew that the items auctioned by Wanzong were stored inrge inventories, with a fixed supply for a handful ofrge, powerful families.

    Qin Feng proceeded to contact the general manager of Wanzong Auction House in Chengyang City, An Zhengwei.

    ¡°Mayor Qin!¡± An Zhengwei smiled at Qin Feng from the other side of the connection. ¡°Is there anything I can help you with, Mayor? I am honored to be of service to you today!¡±

    As he was going through the formalities, his face became visibly surprised when he presumably recognised the E-tier aptitude user¡¯s badge on Qin Feng¡¯s chest.

    However, An Zhengwei did a decent job at disguising his astonishment.

    As a merchant, An Zhengwei had a firm grasp on all the news flowing around the locality. He had already known about the Xin family¡¯s celebratory event and subsequently, had nned to invite Qin Feng over.

    Since Qin Feng had returned from Han Town, while he did not speak of any beast king tier materials for sale, there was still arge amount of profitable items he could turn a profit with. And so, he wanted to contact Qin Feng and offer to buy said items off his hands.

    If not, the Xin family could pressure Qin Feng into a deal with them, meaning the money would flow out from Wanzong¡¯s hands into their filthy pockets!

    Who would have thought that Qin Feng would go through such a massive leap in abilities.

    Back when he was still an F7-tier user, he could already take down an E-tier opponent without too much effort. Now that he was an E-tier user, if his ferocity did indeed grow further, then the Xin family might stand a chance to lose out on everything when dealing with Qin Feng.

    Soon, An Zhengwei and Qin Feng struck up a long and interesting conversation.

    ¡°I need a batch of Huizhen Elixirs. Since I¡¯m dealing with other stuff as well, it may not be very convenient for these things to show up!¡± Qin Feng said to Zhengwei.

    ¡°Huh? What thing?¡± An Zhengwei eyed Qin Feng curiously.

    Qin Feng produced four silver-grey ornaments from his pocket.

    No doubt, these were all spatial runic equipment.

    And they possessed considerable storage capacities.

    One of them was carried by the three men whom the Xin family had sent over to kill Qin Feng. Another one was looted from Xin Guang¡¯s body when he was officially beaten to death in the ring.

    A lot of them assumed that this item had beenpletely destroyed during Qin Feng¡¯s rampage.

    These items however, had instead be Qin Feng¡¯s war trophies.

    Though, other than these three that he was holding, he still had a handful of other spatial runic equipment tucked somewhere else. For example, the one he got from Professor Wang¡¯s crash site as well as those he picked up from the F-tier gunners back at the facility. He had eight of them in total.

    These spatial runic equipment were pretty valuable items.

    Each square meter was being sold on the market at 5 million yuan. The price only grew higher with each passing day too.

    Professor Wang¡¯s alone had a total of thirty square meters, making it worth 150 million yuan in the market.

    Seeing these spatial runic equipment, An Zhengwei was stunned.

    ¡°This is...¡±

    ¡°As you know, my existence is like a thorn in the side of the Xin family. After getting the spatial runic equipment from you, I left Chengbei City, but on the way, I met these three men and uhh...¡± Qin Feng did not feel the need to exin what happened to these poor souls as the spatial runic equipment in his hand was more than enough for the crafty merchant to get what he was saying.

    They had all been killed by Qin Feng.

    Since these equipment had been obtained at the cost of human lives, handling it was a hassle and people tend to avoid buying such items. However, Wanzong paid no heed to such petty matters.

    If selling it at Chengbei colony was a problem, then the solution would be selling it to the Wanzong Organization, which was from another city!

    What would the Xin family do about it? Go over to Fu City or Sea City to get it back?

    Who cared about who this thing once belonged to? Anything was A-okay to the organization so long as it was profitable!

    Such transactions were no big deal.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, how about we discuss this face-to-face?¡± An Zhengwei said earnestly.

    Nodding in agreement, Qin Feng proposed, ¡°Come over to my ce then!¡±

 Chapter 191 - Counting Assets

    <h4>Chapter 191: Counting Assets</h4>

    When An Zhengwei arrived at Qinghu Garden, more than an hour had passed. It was then An Zhengwei saw Qin Feng¡¯s spoils of war.

    It really was a terrifying amount.

    Eight spatial rings were clearly priced and would not have made much of a profit. Each estimation had a different value with the total amount of space being two hundred twenty square meters. The total price ended up with a rather terrifying amount.

    1.1 billion!

    ¡°Recently, you guys at Wanzong held an auction in Sea City, I n to go there. As for the amount of money, I want it in actual bills!¡± Qin Feng said.

    1.1 billion was no small amount, but for a standard city-levelpany like Wanzong Trading this kind of transaction was but a trifle.

    ¡°Naturally!¡±

    ¡°Oh, there are also a few things still attached to that space. I don¡¯t have a use for them. You can make a list and deal with it yourself. If the tier is too low I can have Sun Yu deal with it.¡± Qin Feng added.

    ¡°That¡¯s not a problem, Mr. Qin, I¡¯ll help you contact him!¡±

    ¡°Right!¡±

    The items were all stored inside the space, but they were vastly different in valuepared to the gigantic number of spatial items. The worth of an F-tier aptitude user was usually around one million, no way as prosperous as Qin Feng was.

    The worth of an E-tier aptitude user was leagues higher. Chi Long¡¯s shells were about a hundred million each, even just a few of them would have used up a substantial amount of money.

    However, Qin Feng did a little bit of digging and found that the worth of the four dead E-tier aptitude users was almost around two hundred million each. This was umted over the years. Even those mutated F-tiers would not have possibly amounted to that much, seven to eight million at most, and those spatial runic equipment was probably given by theboratory.

    The spatial runic equipment containing Professor Wang¡¯s massive quantities of precious experimental materials would earn him five hundred million yuan after they were processed.

    Just dealing with this batch of scattered things would Qin Feng around 1.3 billion. When he helped recover Han Town, he obtained 400 million, and Professor Wang¡¯s anonymous ck card had 150 million.

    Counting hisbined assets, spatial runic equipment, spoils of war and materials for exchange, Qin Feng added it up to a total of 3 billion.

    Ordinary E-tier ability users would have to work themselves to the bone to gain this amount of things that was equivalent to the wealth that Qin Feng possessed!

    Of course, most of this amount came from killing people but Qin Feng did not kill innocents, only those that he could not stand. This behavior had made him a thorn in many people¡¯s sides, and or, a stumbling block.

    After acquiring twenty Huizhen pellets from An Zhengwei, Qin Feng turned off hismunicator and shut it down entirely.

    ***

    In the quiet of the night, as the sky turned dark, Qin Feng sat cross-legged in his training room and felt the turbulence inside his body.

    In the dark, Qin Feng visualized his dantian as a cloud of thick mist floating in the air. After the pellets were ingested, an explosive internal force filled his body.

    These were pellets designed only for E-tier aptitude users, one single slip of control and the force would tear the body apart.

    Fortunately, Qin Feng had his ability.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    ¡°Absorb!

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    At this point, Qin Feng originally had eighty five groups after cultivating his internal force mist groups. This time, after the pellets were ingested, the mist began to increase again and two dayster it expanded to be ny nine groups. The mist was so dense in the dantian that it felt as if it was too much to bear. After shattering the original limit, his dantian continued to expand and the walls grew thicker to amodate more internal force.

    Not only that, he felt a change within the force itself.

    ¡°Sink!¡±

    If the previous type of internal force was mist-like and floated in the air, this time, the internal force seemed to have gained some weight, fusing together into a cloud-like shape sinking to the lower parts of the dantian.

    In F tier, the internal force was more or less like a gas, all mist like.

    In E tier, the internal force would condense into a sea of clouds.

    The sea of clouds fell into the deeper portions of the dantian, the clouds rolled, almost wave-like, in their movements.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    ¡°Sink again!¡±

    The fluffy mist turned into a sea of clouds and started sinking.

    The thirdyer, the fourthyer, the fifth...

    Very quickly, the inner portions of his dantian began to hold up to tenyers of the sea-like clouds.

    If oneyer of cloud represented one stage of an E tier ancient warrior, then Qin Feng¡¯s internal force had reached the peak of E tier.

    However, Qin Feng had always been nine times more powerful than the other aptitude users. He had a solid foundation, the special ability of Asteroid Assimtion, the absorption ability, and now he had extraordinary strength and dantian capacity.

    ¡°Hoo!¡± Qin Feng let out a breath, feeling the roaring sea that was his internal force, and he felt more confident in having to face the Xin family.

    ¡°A birthday feast? You mean Feast at Hongmen[1]?¡± Qin Feng let out a frostyugh. ¡°Xin family, your turn to make a move!¡±

    The next day, Qin Feng took Bai Li along in the luxury ss hover limousine that Chi Long had gifted to them to Chengyang City.

    This time around, it had only been half a month. For the Xin family who had been standing in Chengyang City for forty years, it was only the blink of an eye.

    The Xin family was very big and had an extensive background.

    That very morning, the front door already had an endless stream of people. The other four big families had also sent over their juniors, all of which were F-tier aptitude users. Some were actually seniors in their forties and some were twenty-year-old rising stars.

    At the front door of the Xin family¡¯s manor stood Xin Jiasheng and a young man with a prominent expression which made him look slightly fierce. They were both greeting the guests.

    This person who was fierce-looking was the Xin family main line¡¯s number one, having already reached E-tier at just the age of twenty nine. He was called Xin Jiayu.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know if this Qin Feng person you mentioned would even show up. I really want to meet him, someone who can kill a piece of trash like Xin Guang is probably a strong one!¡±

    Being of E-tier, their strengths would be different, but for a genius who could smash the boundaries and challenge outside of the order, it was someone to be held in contempt.

    Although Xin Guang was older than Xin Jiasheng and Xin Jiayu, he was of a side branch and they were not that close to each other. With every new addition to the family, the stronger the family would be, but the internalpetition would also be more and more intense.

    ¡°Brother, please be careful. The person that went to invite Qin Feng came back with the news about him reaching E tier. Don¡¯t underestimate him and don¡¯t end up making things go awry!¡±

    Xin Jiasheng originally wanted to warn his brother to not underestimate his enemy but after the words came out of his mouth it made him seem weak.

    ¡°Trash, you¡¯ve got some nerve!¡± Xin Jiayu eximed.

    Xin Jiasheng¡¯s face turned red but he did not refute. He could only turn to a neer and wee them by putting a smile on his face. This was extremely ufortable for him!

    It was 10am, the banquet was about to start yet there was no sign of this Qin Feng person. Xin Jiayu glowered.

    Although ancient warriors were not bothered by the temperature outside or get tired from just standing still for a very long time, Xin Jiayu felt like he was losing face.

    Then, all of a sudden, a special luxury hover limousine drove in from the distance. The energy fluid required to fuel this kind of vehicle was expensive, only a few special families in Chengyang City could afford to drive such a car!

    But those people who could were all inside already!

    ¡°Who is that?¡± was the thought that appeared in Xin Jiasheng and Xin Jiayu¡¯s heads

    Finally, the car stopped at the side of the road and when the car door opened, they saw that the person they had been waiting for had arrived!

    It was Qin Feng!

    [1] This refers to the Feast at Swan Goose Gate, a historical event where the future Han emperor Liu Bang escaped a murder attempt by Xiang Yu, a warlord that rebelled against the Qin Dynasty.

 Chapter 192 - Just Attending

    <h4>Chapter 192: Just Attending</h4>

    Qin Feng was wearing a custom-tailored suit. Prior to his rebirth, he had attended countless events like these and naturally would not be flustered by the situation. He even knew the proper etiquette.

    He was not wearing any rune equipment except for a ring with a silver and grey gem on his finger. This ring was nothing more than a piece of spatial runic equipment meant to grab people¡¯s attention.

    It was not polite for guests to bring weapons to the doors of their hosts.

    Qin Feng went to the front passenger seat and opened the car door.

    A pair of slender feet that looked like white jade stepped out, on it a pair of exquisite high-heels. The fair ankles looked so fragile that it seemed like they would break at any moment. The exposed calves were delicate and perfect like white porcin.

    Looking even further, a fairy-esque gauze skirt emerged and a devastatingly beautiful face had also entered the people¡¯s line of sight.

    The surrounding people who had been watching widened their eyes, not wanting to miss a single second of this sight. It was as if it came straight from a dream, like a fairy that would disappear at any moment.

    This person was Bai Li.

    Xin Jiasheng was the first to react, clearly seeing the two and he eximed, ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    Bai Li gently lifted her hand and the hover car was sucked into her pocket space, then she held onto Qin Feng¡¯s arm, following after him.

    A handsome boy and a gorgeous girl, all eyes were on them for quite some time.

    ¡°So that¡¯s Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°Is that the mayor of the new colony?¡±

    ¡°Did you hear? The Xin family sent someone to invite Qin Feng but he broke the person¡¯s legs and threw him out!¡±

    ¡°Twenty one wins in a row in thebat pit, I didn¡¯t expect him to be so young.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s said that Fu City awarded him with an E-tier aptitude user badge. I¡¯m not sure if he actually is an E-tier aptitude user.¡±

    A group of people murmured among themselves with an air of suspicion and hope for entertainment in their eyes.

    These people did not know of Qin Feng¡¯s strength. Besides, Qin Feng changed into a suit today and was not wearing the E-tier aptitude user badge, which raised questions among the people.

    At this time, Qin Feng had walked to Xin Jiasheng¡¯s side.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t think you¡¯d show up!¡± Xin Jiasheng said with a gaze full of resentment. Even though he didn¡¯t fight in thebat pit, he had lost a lot of face. It was Xin Jiasheng¡¯s fault that the family lost a respected elder, so how could he not hate Qin Feng.

    The head of the Xin family, who was also Xin Jiasheng¡¯s grandfather, was extremely furious at him. There were no further arrangements to have anyone else be his bodyguard so Xin Jiasheng would not dare disy his arrogance.

    Yet, how could he stay calm after seeing the culprit behind his current problems?

    ¡°Your family had the guts to invite me, so I think I should have some guts toe!¡± Qin Feng said dismissively.

    At this moment, Xin Jiayu¡¯s eyes shed with a hint of coldness.

    ¡°So this is Mayor Qin, your name has been known for a long time as a thunder piercing the ears[1]!¡±

    Xin Jiayu extended his hand and seemed to be very enthusiastic about Qin Feng. It was only the coldness in his eyes that made it look like he was staring holes into people.

    Qin Feng did not seem to have felt that and also extended his hand to shake hands with the other person.

    ¡°Nice to meet you!¡±

    The moment the two men¡¯s hands were sped, a wave of internal force erupted from the palm of each hand, and a powerful st of air seemed to collide with one another, strong enough to scour the flesh off one¡¯s body.

    What sounded like the roaring ocean came from the hands of the two.

    The two E-tier ancient warriors wereparing each other¡¯s internal power. It was only for a moment, and Xin Jiayu¡¯splexion paled, his eyes looked like he was in a perilous situation.

    Beads of sweat the size of beans began to form on his forehead.

    ¡°Hehe, Mayor Qin. This way... please!¡± The way thest word came out from his mouth sounded like it was spoken through gritted teeth.

    Qin Feng smiled faintly, watching Xin Jiayu withdraw his hand, trying to make his action natural.

    ¡°I¡¯m not one to reject such courtesy!¡±

    Qin Feng gave the hand a firm grip before retracting his hand and walking away.

    Xin Jiayu¡¯s eyes bulged but he gritted his teeth and did not cry out. It was after Qin Feng had left that his hand began to swell and turn bloody red, like someone had used a hammer and smashed it.

    Qin Feng¡¯s disy of strength just now shattered the bones in his hand.

    Xin Jiasheng did not know what the big deal was with Xin Jiayu, he found himself being overwhelmed with discontent when he saw that Qin Feng had just swaggered in unhindered.

    ¡°Brother, you just let him in?¡± He did not even embarrass the guy in the slightest and just let him pass.

    ¡°Shut it!¡± Xin Jiayu was annoyed, he secretly believed that his brother was actually blind.

    It was then, Xin Jiasheng stowed away his hatred for Qin Feng as he noticed that something was not quite right with Xin Jiayu as his face had turned pale.

    Then, Qin Feng suddenly stopped and a burning gold invitation appeared in his hand.

    ¡°Oh yeah, I didn¡¯t give you my invitation!¡± After saying that, the invitation filled with internal force flew from ten meters away.

    Xin Jiasheng watched the golden invitation sail through the air with a trail of energy behind it, like it was a sharp weapon flying through the air so fast that it could not be avoided. Xin Jiasheng immediately raised a hand to snatch it out of the air.

    He had not noticed the internal force contained in the invitation and the moment Xin Jiasheng touched it, it was like a venomous viper that had sunk its fangs into his skin, the internal force drilling itself into his palm.

    Xin Jiasheng was unprepared and suddenly felt the internal force enter his hand.

    Ancient warriors all had protection against internal force, even if Xin Jiasheng did not actively infuse his internal force to protect himself, his own power would have automatically defended the body.

    However, this protection had a certain limit, andpared to Qin Feng¡¯s internal force, Xin Jiasheng¡¯s might as well have been like a y chicken[2].

    In the next moment, the internal force unleashed reckless destruction, causing all of the meridians in the hand that received the invitation to be shredded.

    This was much more painful than getting bones crushed.

    ¡°Argh!¡± Xin Jiasheng did not have the same fortitude as Xin Jiayu, and he screamed on the spot.

    The surrounding area fell dead silent.

    With just having arrived, Qin Feng had already incapacitated two hands that belonged to the youngest ones of the Xin family¡¯s most powerful users. It was with great pride that they weed guests for the Xin family but now they seemed so vulnerable.

    It was not that they were weak, it was that Qin Feng was too strong!

    ¡°Shut up and let¡¯s go!¡± Xin Jiayu could not bear the pain anymore, grabbing Xin Jiasheng with his good hand, he dragged him off to find the family doctor.

    He stormed past Qin Feng, who gave him a chilling grin.

    How dare he make him lose face,bined with the want of revenge, he was definitely going to makeints about Qin Feng.

    Today, if the Xin family were to not treat him kindly, then he was not going to treat them kindly either.

    The courtyard of the Xin household was huge, and a red carpet wasid all the way through the manor¡¯s halls with servants moving about, leading guests to thergest hall within the house.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were naturally not guided, in fact they were met with avoidance. Qin Feng did not need to be guided, he led Bai Li to find the entrance before entering the hall.

    The hall was fitted with a buffet, with garments of extravagance moving about and the tinkling of wine sses. Many people in the slums could not even afford to eat and yetpared to this scene it was like viewing an entirely different world.

    Behind the vermilion gates, meat and wine go to waste while out on the road lie the bones of the frozen[3]!

    ¡°All the food here looks so delicious!¡± Bai Li¡¯s eyes lit up. Qin Feng took Bai Li to the barbeque station for her to start eating to her heart¡¯s content, scarfing down whatever she could pick up.

    As Bai Li entered the hall, she caught many people¡¯s attention and her manners were not exactly something to write home about. Some people looked at the two with a dumbfounded expression, quickly asking the others nearest to them who they were looking at. Faces changed and emotions shifted as they learned of the two¡¯s identities.

    Qin Feng then spotted an acquaintance.

    It was An Zhengwei who he made a transaction with three days ago.

    [1] A Chinese saying for ¡®A well-known reputation¡¯.

    [2] A Chinese saying for ¡®A shape but no substance¡¯.

    [3] A Chinese saying for ¡®Wasting resources on personal desires¡¯, also used to represent howvish the scene is.

 Chapter 193 - Xin Zhen the Cruel

    <h4>Chapter 193: Xin Zhen the Cruel</h4>

    ¡°Mayor Qin, you¡¯re here!¡±

    Three days ago, An Zhengwei found out that Qin Feng would be attending and naturally came over to say hello.

    After seeing the many resources that Qin Feng had, he felt that the Xin family was actually biting off more than they could chew. When it came to the Wanzong Group, people would not try to sully their reputation by hassling Wanzong¡¯s people. Whoever he spoke to, nobody would dare hold it against him.

    ¡°Manager An!¡± Qin Feng nodded.

    The two chatted about whatever was on their minds then, mainly about the things that they made deals with before. Apparently, some of the items had been sold, with good prices at that.

    As they were talking, another person appeared.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re here as well?¡±

    Qin Feng looked over to the direction of the voice and realized that he recognized the speaker.

    ¡°Cheng Zhou!¡±

    The man was from one of the four main families in Chengyang City, the pride of the Cheng family and a powerful metal-based ability user.

    Thest time Qin Feng met him, they fought each other in thebat pit and they had only used a fraction of their strength against one another. Half a monthter, Qin Feng¡¯s strength had already surpassed his counterpart¡¯s.

    It was not so easy to advance into E-tier. If Qin Feng had not obtained the Godwill As, he would not have reached E-tier so easily. He might have had to kill off a few more gunners or ability users for that!

    The four people formed into a group, with Bai Li being the one gaining the most attention. She was only stuffing her face so she maintained a low profile.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that you were given an E-tier aptitude user badge. Has your strength really reached E tier?¡± Cheng Zhou inquired.

    This up anding young man really was impressive!

    ¡°Maybe you¡¯ll find out soon?¡± Qin Feng smiled faintly.

    Cheng Zhou frowned at the implication. ¡°There are a lot of seniors from the Xin family here today, even if they¡¯re a bunch of dinosaurs, a few of them have been sent to keep watch. Don¡¯t be too impulsive, whatever happens, you must endure it.¡±

    Endure it?

    Before his rebirth, Qin Feng led a life full of misfortune and had to face countless life and death situations.

    Just like the one now.

    So why should he bother to try to endure it?

    Soon, all the guests had been ounted for and the door to the second floor of the hall opened up. A group of people was escorting a middle-aged man in a majestic and imposing fashion.

    This man was the current head of the Xin family. An E-tier ancient warrior, Xin Zheng

    Due to the cultivation of ancient martial artsbined with the proper kind of moisturizing with natural materials, the stronger a person was, the less likely their age would be obvious. If it were not for the fact that people were supposed to be celebrating his sixtieth birthday, nobody would have caught that he was sixty just by his appearance.

    He moved at a slow pace but his movements seemed natural and fluid which contained an aura like rolling clouds or a flowing stream. His steadiness gave him the feel that this man was very dignified.

    Soon, he sat at the very front of the hall, on a table that was elevated higher than the rest. Beside him were other seniors of the Xin family, having up to a total of five E-tier aptitude users, along with some F8 and F9 tiers.

    Sitting behind him was the previously injured Xin Jiayu who did not look so good and sporting a slightlyrger glove over one hand.

    ¡°Everyone. The head of the Xin family¡¯s birthday banquet is about to begin!¡±

    The crowd gathered, faces full of smiles. Some people even took out their gifts.

    ¡°Qin Feng, let¡¯s go. After all, it¡¯s a birthday party and I¡¯m here on behalf of the Cheng family. I even prepared a gift!¡± Cheng Zhou said.

    Although the four major families entrenched in Chengyang City had disputes of interest along with deep-seated hatred hidden in the dark, they could not make such a thing too obvious. On the contrary, they had to maintain their cool and evenpliment one another.

    There were no permanent enemies, only permanent benefits.

    Soon, the people from the four major families began to move forward.

    ¡°Great Father Xin, this junior, on behalf of his family, pays you his respect and offers you these bureaucratic presents. On behalf of the Pu family, I wish you a happy life and good health!¡±

    ¡°Good, the Pu Family is always so sincere!¡±

    ¡°Great Father Xin, my father is out of town and has put me in his ce this time! I hope this doesn¡¯t seem strange!¡±

    ¡°Old Ho seems to not want toe out today, heh!¡±

    ¡°Great Father Xin...¡±

    ¡°Master Xin...¡±

    These people were very well rehearsed, stepping forward one after another. In fact, these people were the elderlies in Chengyang City. The Xin family hosted such an event each year and had be familiar with them.

    After the four major families took the lead, the other families began to approach. These families either had a close rtionship with the Xin family, or they were families directly affiliated with the family itself.

    An F-tier aptitude user stepped forward, gift in his hand as he presented it to Xin Zhen.

    Xin Zhen was taking a sip of his tea at that time and the other party did not know where to put the gift.

    ¡°When your family bes as big as mine, it¡¯ll be harder to lead. I heard that there¡¯s a talented individual that has appeared in the Zhao family, almost E-tier, currently hunting in the wild?¡±

    ¡°Yes. You¡¯re worrying over nothing, you remember that unfilial brat!¡±

    ¡°Hmph. Talented children always have their own idea or two. If they¡¯re disrespectful, then just beat them until they learn some humility. It¡¯s dangerous out there, best be careful.¡±

    ¡°Of course, of course!¡±

    The Zhao family head¡¯s forehead was suddenlyyered with a sheen of sweat. The Zhao family had been developing well recently, even having an E-tier ability user, and ns to escape from the Xin family¡¯s grip.

    After all, a huge portion of their annual profits were always taken away by the Xin family. Now that they were strong, they naturally did not want to be suppressed.

    However, resistancees at a price.

    Thinking about the son that had not contacted him for three days, the Zhao family head felt as if a cold knife was stabbing through his heart.

    The Xin family head waved his hand to have his servants take the Zhao family¡¯s gift away.

    After that, the man was punched in the head by Xin Zheng. Some onlookers bore smiles, some bore anger, but most just had their fear on disy.

    The process of giving the gifts took half an hour, and some of the major families were given a table while everyone else had to stand.

    Only Qin Feng and Bai Li stood behind the crowd, still eating and drinking near the dining table.

    Qin Feng let out a frostyugh as he watched the group of Xin family members in front of him. ¡®What a great feast! The Xin family really is trying to show their authority!¡¯ he thought.

    The Xin family hosted something like this every year, it was weird that after so many years there had not been a single disruption. Maybe they held things with an iron fist, whoever tried to resist were brutally suppressed.

    Whoever showed potential would be crushed like that person from the Zhao family.

    Qin Feng felt that the other party was too short-sighted. ¡®The wilderness is so vast, the resources aplenty, and they¡¯re still cramped in this tiny ce cruelly throwing their power around. What a bunch of shrews.¡¯

    Such was the norm in this kind of life.

    Too many people stayed in the colonies and did not dare venture into the wild.

    As Qin Feng was thinking to himself, he heard a voice in the distance.

    ¡°I heard that outside of Chengyang City, a new colony has emerged and their district chief came over today.¡± said the voice. There was not a single bit of respect for such a colony, only traces of contempt.

    In the eyes of the Xin family, the leader of such a colony was too weak. If they came alone, it meant that they could be eliminated.

 Chapter 194 - Kill the Chicken to Scare the Monkeys

    <h4>Chapter 194: Kill the Chicken to Scare the Monkeys</h4>

    At this moment, Xin Zhen nced over at Xin Jiasheng. This matter was thetter¡¯s fault. At the same time, Xin Jiasheng was forced to stand up.

    ¡°Grandfather, he¡¯s here!¡±

    ¡°Oh? Then, I want to see him!¡± Xin Zhen said quietly, casting a sweeping gaze over the crowd. Those who were in his way quickly and involuntarily lowered their heads.

    His power and status made these people not want to directly face him!

    After looking around, he still did not see anyone. His brows furrowed and his lips curled into a snarl. He was definitely unhappy now!

    Xin Jiasheng¡¯s heart skipped a few beats. Feeling a little afraid, he quickly used his vantage point to scan the crowd and soon found Qin Feng in the far back.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Xin Jiasheng could not believe that even at a time like this Qin Feng was just eating and had absolutely zero regard for the Xin family.

    Following Xin Jiasheng¡¯s gaze, everyone else noticed Qin Feng¡¯s presence and turned their heads. Those that were blocking the way began to move away, making a path that allowed Xin Zhen¡¯s direct line of sight to fall upon the two at the back.

    ¡°We can eatter, the head of the family is inviting us over!¡± Qin Feng said with a smile.

    ¡°Oh, okay!¡± Bai Li stuck out her little tongue and licked the grease stains from the corners of her mouth. Her lips were red and alluring.

    The surrounding people¡¯s gazes were momentarily focused on the two, with the exception of the Xin family¡¯s table. They watched with narrowed eyes and sullen faces.

    Qin Feng¡¯s behavior told them that he did not hold them in high regard, but at this time he had already reached the table with Bai Li at his side.

    ¡°It¡¯s a great honor to have been invited to the head of the Xin household¡¯s birthday banquet. May your luck be as immense as the East Sea and I wish you a Happy Birthday and many more toe!¡± Qin Feng said.

    It was merely words of blessing, he bore no gifts in his hands. The others momentarily felt a smoky aura permeating the area.

    Xin Zhen¡¯s face fell, the corner of his mouth twisted into a sneer. This person¡¯s presentation, his demeanor, was provoking him.

    ¡°Mayor Qin is currently developing Fengli colony and he¡¯s taking time out of his busy schedule. Affairs are always difficult, but we, the Xin family, can help. In the future, we¡¯ll invest twenty percent of the shares in Fengli colony.¡±

    The people around them were all holding their breaths.

    Only the percentage was mentioned but not the exact amount of money. This was obviously an attempt to grind Qin Feng¡¯s gears.

    Qin Feng smiled, making himself seempletely unfazed.

    ¡°Based on what Master Xin has said, would it be considered my gift for your birthday?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Xin Zhen smirked, realizing that Qin Feng actually had quite an acute perception. ¡°That¡¯s generous of you!¡±

    Qin Feng continued, ¡°Of course, it just depends on whether or not Master Xin is able to stomach it. I¡¯ll consider if it¡¯s twenty billion worth of investment!¡±

    Was one colony worth twenty billion?

    Of course, even the space stabilization device was worth this much, but Fengli colony was near to Chengyang City so it also had to provide some benefits in return to Bai Tianyang and had the obligation to obey the man as well.

    Furthermore, investing in construction alone, twenty billion was too much. After the end times, building material and humanbor were dirt cheap.

    Having heard his response, the Xin family members were certainly aware that he was trying to embarrass them.

    Xin Zhen¡¯s face fell upon hearing his words.

    ¡°Young people, always so impulsive. You still have time to think. It¡¯s obviously boring to just start eating at the beginning of a birthday feast, so how about we go to the backyard and enjoy somebat?¡±

    ¡°Yes Master Xin, let us see some!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, they do this every year and everyone¡¯s looking forward to it!¡±

    ¡°Are there any outstanding people in the Xin family this year?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that Xin Jiayu has reached E tier already!¡±

    Everyone began chattering among themselves, starting to dismiss the topic about Qin Feng and at the same time worried that Xin Zhen would reduce Qin Feng to a bloody smudge on the ground.

    Xin Zhen rose from his seat, but before leaving he gave Qin Feng a look that housed contempt in his eyes.

    The people shuffled after him, moving on the red carpet as it led them to the house¡¯s backyard.

    The headquarters of the Xin family, even in an area in Chengyang where real estate was ludicrously expensive, had this feeling like it was a well-established viplex. The backyard of the vi had arge open space

    Over the open space were severalrge cages that were covered by red velvet cloth like they were gifts with a single energy dome wrapped over them.

    ¡°Hehe, I caught these just the day before. I wouldn¡¯t mind showing them off to everyone, how about it?¡± Xin Zhen remarked, what naturally followed were a series ofpliments.

    Then, the cloth on the smallest cage was removed. To say that it was small was an understatement, it was smaller inparison, standing at three meters tall and had a huge white gori inside.

    ¡°Silver-maned Gori Chief!¡± The crowd gasped, holding their breaths.

    This creature was about E1 tier, and the silver color meant that it was a beast general to a very dangerous degree.

    Those who were of lower strength felt their hair stand on ends and their knees grow weaker.

    There were also some ordinary civilians who felt the aura of this ultra beast wash over them, their bodies stiffened, and they were unable to move as they stared wide-eyed.

    ¡°Hehe, Ah Yu, have a go!¡± Xin Zhen said.

    ¡°Yes, Grandfather!¡± Xin Jiayu approached the energy dome and a small gap ripped through the dome where he could walk through.

    The cage of the Silver-maned Gori Chief was opened at the other end of the dome. Even with the protection of the energy dome, the ground shook like it was struck by a small earthquake as the ultra beast bounded toward its target.

    ¡°Phwoar!¡±

    The massive arm of the Silver-maned Gori Chief was as thick as a person¡¯s waist, bringing down a fist the size of a wash basin as Xin Jiayu dodged its attack, pummeling a crater into the ground at the point of impact.

    Everyone jumped at the sight. This was the power of an E-tier beast general. Such a creature could single-handedly destroy an entire small colony. If Han Town had to deal with something like this it surely would have perished.

    Xin Zhen¡¯s gaze briefly fell upon Qin Feng. From his point of view, the boy only had a little glory in Han Town and had growncent, with no regard for anyone. He nned on teaching him a lesson today.

    At this time, Qin Feng was watching Xin Jiayu on the field, pretending to be calm, holding a hand up in facing the ultra beast and circling it in a confident, leisurely manner as a trace of arrogance shed in his eyes.

    The Silver-maned Gori Chief had to be injured, otherwise how could it have been captured? Xin Jiayu¡¯s strength was no joke and could challenge this injured ultra beast.

    But his hand was injured by Qin Feng. So that meant that fighting was dangerous, Xin Jiayu still had on this carefree front. It was kind of ridiculous.

    Some of the Xin family elders also noticed the situation and felt that something was wrong. Xin Jiayu was the type to go straight in with an all-out rampage, why was he ying it slow today?

    Eventually, the battle ended after half an hour, the suspense of it was gripping but the people watching felt terrified.

    ¡°Haha, my grandson¡¯s disy was shameful! Still, it wouldn¡¯t mean anything if we just keep going. How about everyone try and give it a go?¡± Xin Zhen eximed, pointing a finger at someone.

    ¡°Zhao Hong! Have a go at it!¡±

    This person was one of the people that got hit by Xin Zhen before, the head of the Zhao Family.

    The ¡®chicken¡¯ that had to be killed to scare the monkeys was right there![1]

    [1] We¡¯ve seen this quote before. The title is a take on the Chinese saying ¡®to make an example out of someone¡¯.

 Chapter 195 - Bringing Havoc to the Xin Household

    <h4>Chapter 195: Bringing Havoc to the Xin Household</h4>

    At the sound of Xin Zhen¡¯smand, the second cage in the dome was opened up.

    This cage was twice the size of the previous one and as the red cloth was pulled away it revealed the head of a creature that turned out to be a massive bull yak.

    It stood at three meters up to the shoulder and had a body that was five meters long. It was about the size of a truck.

    Within the cage, the bull yak was held down by a series of chains, its eyes were a glowing red like it was eager to break free from its restraints.

    The red cloth moving aroused its currently restricted madness.

    It wasn an E3-tier beast general known as a Rumbling Thunderhorn Yak. It was not just a powerful ultra beast, but true to its namesake, it was a beast that could use thunder runes. Anyone that had tried to face it in closebat would be incapacitated by its electric abilities.

    Zhao Hong was merely an F-tier ancient warrior and they did not allow anyone to bring weapons into the party nor did they provide him with any. How was he supposed to face this monster?

    He might as well be dead.

    During the birthday of the Xin family¡¯s head, there would always be blood.

    Xin Zhen did not see that as bad luck or anything of that sort, he found himself enjoying the situation. Watching those that had stepped out of line get torn into shreds, seeding the sense of fear into the onlookers¡¯ hearts.

    That made him feel like he had no care in the world.

    ¡°Master Xin, spare me please!¡± Zhao Hong¡¯s face was filled with desperation and he could not help but beg for mercy.

    ¡°Elder Zhao, how do I put this? Heh. It¡¯s only just a show. Our juniors will help you inbat too so that nothing bad happens. After all, how can there be blood during my Grandfather¡¯s birthday! That would be inauspicious!¡± Xin Jiayu said, already having ced his good hand on Zhao Hong¡¯s shoulder.

    Being an E-tier aptitude user, with a small amount of internal force, he pushed Zhao Hong forward.

    The people around held their breaths, some could not bear it and covered their eyes.

    At this moment, a figure stepped out from the crowd.

    ¡°Let me have a try! Could be embarrassing, but who knows?¡±

    Everyone¡¯s eyes focused on the figure. It was none other than Qin Feng.

    He walked up to Xin Jiayu¡¯s side and ced his hand on the other¡¯s good hand that was on Zhao Hong¡¯s shoulder. ¡°You¡¯re not nning on keeping this hand either?¡±

    Xin Jiayu¡¯s hand quivered and he unwittingly retracted it. Qin Feng chuckled at the reaction.

    Xin Jiayu¡¯s face flushed red, he could not put his hand back in after that and began to back away.

    After seeing this, Xin Zhen¡¯s face shed with a trace of murderous intent. ¡°Mayor Qin is so full of youthful vigor. Since you¡¯re so eager to perform, then everybody please give him a warm apuse!¡±

    Xin Zhen took the lead and started to p. Everyone else sparsely followed.

    The atmosphere was solemn.

    Zhao Hong undoubtedly needed to die, but who would have expected that someone would step up to try and save him. Or perhaps, they came to die as well!

    ¡°Mayor Qin! You don¡¯t... you don¡¯t have to!¡± The Zhao family head said with a tremble in his voice. Qin Feng let out augh, ¡°You¡¯re wee Mr. Zhao. If you¡¯re still worried, then you can still go in and see for yourself!¡±

    Zhao Hong heard Qin Feng¡¯s words and only felt sadness. After Qin Feng dies, it would still be his turn. He gave a solemn nce at the several others that had crossed the Xin family.

    These people still would not be enough to satiate the bull.

    ¡°Fine. If we¡¯re going to die, then we¡¯ll die together!¡± Zhao Hong said, following after Qin Feng and charging toward the energy dome.

    Qin Feng was surprised, he was only being courteous in saying those words to be polite. ¡°Huh, interesting.¡±

    Qin Feng walked up to the side of the energy dome and a small gap opened up, allowing Qin Feng and Zhao Hong to enter the dome.

    After the dome closed itself, the huge cage door swung open and the chains were broken. The Rumbling Thunderhorn Yak wildly charged forward with a thunderous sound as electricity crackled from its fur, shrouding its shaggy mass in a bright purple light.

    The light shone so brightly that the spectators had to shield their eyes from the re.

    Crackle!

    A bolt of lightning shot out from the mass of light and made people jump with fright.

    Outside of the energy dome, Xin Jiasheng walked to Bai Li¡¯s side.

    It had been a while since that time at the store that he was so close to such an alluring beauty. Seeing her once again made his eyes glitter with greed and a desire to possess her.

    ¡°He¡¯s dead for sure this time. I¡¯ve heard about what happened in Han Town, don¡¯t think that you¡¯ve gotten so much glory that you¡¯re actually amazing. The insectoids that appeared in Han Town were only F-tier. An E-tier ultra beast would definitely crush him!¡± Xin Jiasheng said with a swagger.

    The battle could easily spread information, except those that were top secret, between cities with ease as if they were within a literal arm¡¯s reach. While Han Town¡¯s news was constantly being updated, what was seen and heard were naturally not the same.

    Xin Jiasheng had no idea how astounding Qin Feng¡¯s record was. Even if he did know, he would not admit it. After all, Qin Feng¡¯s opponents were only F-tier ultra beasts, he should not be able to fight an E-tier.

    Bai Li gave him a confused look. ¡°That cow would never defeat my hubby!¡±

    Xin Jiasheng immediately burst outughing and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be so blindly confident in him, this is an E-tier beast general...¡±

    He looked at the field, expecting Qin Feng to be dead on the spot.

    He spotted Qin Feng¡¯s figure raising his fist.

    On the field.

    Still in the energy dome.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force surged and he summoned fire runes around him while doing so, using the Brahma Sword technique to mobilize the internal power into his punch. In a split second, Qin Feng¡¯s fist ignited with a roaring me.

    Crackle!

    Boom!

    The fist collided with the Thunderhorn¡¯s singr horn. As me and lightning collided, it let out a deafening sound.

    The force of the punch managed to uproot the surrounding grass and sent des flying, letting out a wave that caused the energy dome to nearly shatter as it rippled violently.

    Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength was immense, after increasing his internal power to S-tier it became even more terrifying. In addition, the strength of his fire runes managed to repel the force of lightning and did not weaken in the slightest.

    He was like a humanoid ultra beast and being E tier, he might as well be at the level of beast king.

    How could this beast general ever bepared to his power?

    After the huge shockwave, the excess energy canceled each other out. It was finally time for aparison of force.

    Qin Feng¡¯s fist physically struck the Thunderhorn¡¯s horn this time.

    Crack!

    With an immense burst of strength, the horn creaked and was forcibly snapped off. With the horn broken, the electric force quickly died out and the yak had a frantic look in its eyes.

    ¡°Muh!¡± The ultra beast tried to m its body forward.

    ¡°Ghostly Step!¡±

    Qin Feng reeled back, extending his palms before mming both of them onto the Rumbling Thunderhorn Yak¡¯s forehead.

    Snap!

    The sharp and clear sound carried with the snapping sound of breaking bones. There was arge palm print indented into the yak¡¯s head. It blindly charged around for another ten meters before it teetered and copsed onto the ground.

    Thud!

    Blood dribbled out from all seven apertures of the yak¡¯s head.[1]

    Rumbling Thunderhorn Yak had been in!

    To make it an understatement, the whole disysted no more than five minutes.

    Even after the massive yak¡¯s body had copsed onto the ground, people watching could not believe their eyes.

    That was because this disy of strength whenpared to Xin Jiayu made the other¡¯s power seem downyed. Qin Feng was clearly the stronger person.

    For a long moment, the sidelines were silent again.

    The people from the Xin family all clenched their fists, even Xin Zhen¡¯s face had darkened. This upset had just damaged the deterrent force that the Xin family had spent a long time building up.

    This upstart had to be eliminated.

    [1] There is a Chinese term for bleeding out from all of the holes on your head.

 Chapter 196 - The Supremacy of Fire Dragon

    <h4>Chapter 196: The Supremacy of Fire Dragon</h4>

    ¡°Mayor Qin is as strong as I have heard. It seems that this beast is nothing more than an appetizer for you. How about two more?¡±

    Xin Zhen waved his hand to gesture for the red cloths to be lifted by his subordinates. Another two beasts were promptly released. Both were E3-tier beast generals¡ªSavage Crocodile and Moonlit Wolf.

    The two remaining beasts emitted a different aura aspared to the previous two. They looked more dangerous and were unmistakably more intelligent.

    The emerald scale on the Savage Crocodile shone like polished jade, while the fur on the Moonlit Wolf was silky smooth. They were obviously well taken care of.

    Qin Feng reckoned they must have been tamed and contracted by the Xin family.

    Members from the other four families had long been discontented with the Xins conduct of setting an example this way. However, all they did was frown and suppress their dissatisfaction.

    ¡®These two beasts look tame.¡¯

    ¡®They must have been contracted!¡¯

    ¡®The Xin family has two E-tier ability users now but both of them are only subpar fighters. One is a water type, while the other is a wood type. Nheless, their consciousness should be above average. These two newly contracted beasts would definitely boost their family¡¯s influence!¡¯

    ¡®The Xin family has been waiting until now to unveil this! It¡¯s like a warning to all of us!¡¯

    Everyone¡¯s mind revolved around the two newly-revealed beasts and was busy calcting how this might affect their own family¡¯s fate. Despite that, most of them were still curious about how the fight inside the energy dome would turn out.

    The two beast generals were mentally connected to their master and naturally knew who their target was. Almost instantaneously, both beasts jumped directly at Qin Feng.

    A single beast general could hardly hurt Qin Feng now. However, it was a different story if two beast generals were to attack coitantly.

    The Savage Crocodile¡¯s gigantic body charged explosively at Qin Feng first.

    Phantom Motion Steps!

    Qin Feng left behind an afterimage and agilely evaded the crocodile¡¯s vicious bite.

    ¡°Awoo!!¡± The Moonlit Wolf opened its mouth and a dense energy ball began to converge in it. The beast then projected it and a white beam shot straight toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was unable to dodge both attacks that arrived in quick session but he did not panic. He calmly raised his hand and released Fire Laser to counter the iing beam.

    Despite the perilous situation, Qin Feng was able to defuse one immediate danger after another effortlessly.

    Zhao Hong had already been pinned to the edge of the dome due to the colliding shockwaves. He dared not take another step forward and could only watch helplessly as Qin Feng took on the two beasts confidently.

    Qin Feng had no fear because he knew he could win this.

    Zhao Hong was enthused. The oppression by the Xin family that shrouded him earlier had disappearedpletely. He was infected by Qin Feng¡¯s fearlessness and had be spirited.

    In contrast, the faces of the two Xin elders were getting paler and paler outside the energy dome. The maniption of beast generals through conscious energy was not as easy as they had assumed. However, they feared that letting the two beasts battle freely might result in the same fate as the Rumbling Thunderhorn Yak. Thus, they could only keep going and ordered the beast to maintain the high pressure on Qin Feng with sessive attacks, hoping to tire Qin Feng out this way.

    Qin Feng slightly furrowed his brows.

    ¡®It¡¯s certainly troublesome without my Verdant Emperor Saber.¡¯

    The saber was stored in his spatial rune. Upon entering the Xin¡¯s territory, all weapons were prohibited to prevent a potential assassination attempt, including runic equipment. Although the guests could carry their spatial runic equipment along with them, special stabilizers set up within the mansion would disable its activation.

    Though Bai Li was not restricted by such a setup, Qin Feng was not going to expose her ability here.

    He had only one choice left. E-tier beasts were indeed on another level.

    Nevertheless, that was not going to stump Qin Feng.

    Wildfire emerged abruptly around Qin Feng. The fire was made up entirely by runes. The heatwave from the me transmitted even beyond the energy dome.

    Gradually, the fire shrank and elongated into the form of a dragon. The dragon twined around Qin Feng and hovered fiercely in midair.

    Those who witnessed the formation of the dragon were bewildered.

    Among them, even Cheng Zhou could not hold back his shock as he eximed, ¡°That¡¯s... Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    The fire rune dragon soared and suddenly dived toward the enemy. Its power was formidable.

    Such a powerful ability was recognized by every ability user. Those who were able to master such a tremendous force were usually undefeatable.

    ¡®But how old is Qin Feng? Where did he get all these resources and time to improve so dramatically? When did he learn this? Is this the trump card he has been hidden up his sleeves all this while?¡¯ Numerous questions ran through Cheng Zhou¡¯s mind.

    Chengyang City was huge, but at the same time, it was a rather timid colony aspared to the vast world. Many people born here would not get the chance to visit the wild in their entire life. Commoners might not have even heard of the Fire Dragon Style, let alone witness it in a battle as gctic as this.

    The enormous aura slowly debilitated those without power.

    ¡°Argh!!¡± Ady eximed as she realized that her dress had caught fire due to the extreme heat.

    ¡°We can¡¯t stay here any longer!¡± One bystander looked at Qin Feng, absolutely mortified, and stood up hastily. The sudden action knocked his stool backward and it fell onto the grass.

    After one person left, many soon followed. Wealthy men who were only ordinary citizens could not withhold the pressure and excused themselves sheepishly.

    Qin Feng, who was using the skill for the first time, was also deeply moved. He had seen countless ability users with devastating power in his past life. From this point forth, he would be even stronger as E-tier was merely a starting point for advanced ability users.

    Ability users were the chosen ones¡ªhe finally understood the true meaning of this notion today.

    Qin Feng pointed his hand toward the Moonlit Wolf.

    In the next moment, the fire dragonshed out and a massive me soon ran past the giant wolf.

    ¡°Awoo!¡±

    The Moonlit Wolf shrieked painfully and was put to the ground after the impact. The fire dragon then swiftly turned back and bit its neck brutally.

    The raging ze rapidly engulfed the beast.

    ¡°No!! Help! My contracted beast is dying!¡± One of the Xin elders bellowed.

    The other elder did not hesitate and instructed the Savage Crocodile to jump on Qin Feng immediately.

    Qin Feng shifted his body to dodge the croc, and the dragon¡¯s tail that was still attached to him swept out reflexively.

    Bang!

    The Savage Crocodile flew out like a cannonball after being hit by the tail. The beast crashed on the energy dome and rebounded to the floor like a ping pong ball.

    It rolled over and exposed its charred belly. A burnt mark whipped by the fire dragon¡¯s tail was clearly seen on it.

 Chapter 197 - Versus Xin Zhen

    <h4>Chapter 197: Versus Xin Zhen</h4>

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    The Xin elder screeched as he felt a sudden and intense headache.

    Qin Feng¡¯s fire dragon had moved away from the Moonlit Wolf, leaving behind a headless scorched corpse.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Xin Zhen mmed the table and stood up angrily. His overpowering aura as an E8-tier ancient warrior red up instantly.

    He was utterly livid, clearly at wits¡¯ end!

    Qin Feng¡¯s voice came out from within the dragon. ¡°Yes? Are you not entertained by my show, Master Xin?¡± It sounded like a dragon¡¯s roar, fuzzy but amplified.

    Xin Zhen¡¯s face distorted due to his rage.

    The entire ce was a mess. Most guests had left the garden to hide from the extreme heat. The Xin family¡¯s banquet had beenpletely toppled over by one man.

    That very man refused to stop as he was still ravaging inside the energy dome. The giant dragon head whizzed about and hunted the Savage Crocodile next.

    ¡°No!¡±

    The other ability user screamed out of horror. He soon fainted as an intense headache came crashing like a part of his conscious energy had just been devoured.

    None of the beasts was able to survive Qin Feng¡¯s brutality.

    It was not their original n to release the two beast generals. They were there simply to daunt the crowd while the initial two were the ones they wanted to unt.

    Unexpectedly, all four were now annihted.

    Xin Zhen could not wait to take Qin Feng¡¯s life with his own hands.

    R

    This was when Xin Jiasheng, who endured the heat and stayed put, came forth and yelled, ¡°Kill yourself, or she will be killed!¡± A long sword appeared in Xin Jiasheng¡¯s hand and its tip was pointed at Bai Li¡¯s throat.

    Bai Li did not move and peered coldly at Xin Jiasheng. Her iris narrowed, a sign of hostility toward an enemy or prey.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face darkened and he warned, ¡°You better put it away, or beg for your life afterward.¡±

    Such words were like an empty threat in the ears of the Xin family.

    Xin Zhen scanned Bai Li with disdain, as if he had taken absolute control of the situation.

    Bai Li was not sporting her E-tier badge right now. She had also concealed her aura so no one was able to sense the enormous power within her.

    But Xin Zhen learned from Han Town¡¯s intel that this girl was also an ability user. If that were the case, they were going to terminate her here as well.

    ¡°Capture her!¡± Xin Zhen pointed at Bai Li. He thought that he had grasped Qin Feng¡¯s Achilles¡¯ heel.

    To their surprise, Bai Li moved first. She stepped sideways and slid away from Xin Jiasheng¡¯s sword, then she swiped her hand through the air. That simple gesture seemed to have merely shed through empty space.

    Rip!

    Sharp ws sliced across Xin Jiasheng¡¯s body.

    Thump!

    Giant wounds appeared on his body and Xin Jiasheng was sent flying backward like a thin fabric.

    ¡°Bastard!¡±

    Those from the Xin family were enraged after they saw what Bai Li did to their heir. They were scared of Qin Feng so instinctively, they cornered Bai Li, trying to capture her. Of course, that was just pure naivety.

    Qin Feng growled when he saw that Bai Li was being attacked, albeit knowing that Bai Li would not be harmed easily, such an act still greatly displeased him.

    ¡°Open!¡±

    Qin Feng triggered his conscious energy without reserve and sent out the fire dragon. The giant dragon head sted directly on the energy dome. The energy dome vibrated vigorously and finally sumbed to Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness and fire runes.

    Boom!

    One of the energy dome devices exploded and ck smoke began to fume from it. The ray emitted by it rapidly disappeared.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    One after another, the devices exploded and sparked fiercely. It was like setting off fireworks.

    Qin Feng dashed out from the dome. Carried by the fire dragon, he charged rapidly and the fire suffocated those around him.

    ¡°Boy, know your ce!¡±

    Xin Zhen dared not underestimate Qin Feng any further and used his full force in the first attack. He extended his palm trying to grab Qin Feng.

    ¡°Get the hell out of my way!¡± Qin Feng shouted and generated another dragon head from the me around him. It pounced on Xin Zhen.

    Xin Zhen used his inner force to dissolve the attack. As an E8-tier ancient warrior, his internal energy was massive and contained eightyers of energy clouds. Someone who had just advanced into E-tier could notpete with that kind of power.

    However, that only applied to the average user. Qin Feng was by no means average.

    Thanks to his Asteroid Assimtion and Absorption ability, he had nineyers of internal force even though he had just been promoted to E-tier.

    Hence, he actually surpassed Xin Zhen in terms of internal force.

    After suppressing the dragon, Xin Zhen charged into the center of the fire viciously.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    ¡®No matter how bright you shine, your light dims today! The authority of the Xin family cannot be challenged. Those who dare to disobey us will be killed mercilessly!¡¯

    Xin Zhen¡¯s powerful assault was about to shatter Qin Feng¡¯s fire dragon.

    Just in the nick of time, the me rolled back and revealed Qin Feng in the center. The fire dragon hovered behind him like a backdrop.

    Qin Feng infused his fist with internal power and punched out. Sparks appeared around him and the power of the fist was so strong that the ground below him began to quake and crumble.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s fist met straight on with Xin Zhen¡¯s palm.

    Boom!

    The collision resulted in a massive explosion that shattered the chairs and tables on the ground into pieces.

    Xin Zhen could not believe his eyes.

    The fist on his palm was filled with vibrant internal force, which effectively neutralized his assault.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s voice hit Xin Zhen hard like his fist.

    In the next moment, the resistive force suddenly turned into a pulling force. As a result, Xin Zhen¡¯s internal strength leaked out profusely as if a sluice had just been opened. He could not stop his internal force from continuously disappearing into Qin Feng¡¯s fist.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±

    Xin Zhen raised his head. He knew that this was a terrible situation to be in based on his years of battle experience.

    Xin Zhen twisted his wrist, attempting to turn his palm into a fist and retract his hand.

    Qin Feng responded swiftly as Xin Zhen moved and extended his hand to wrap around Xin Zhen¡¯s fist.

    It was a reversal of the earlier situation. One thing did not change though, Qin Feng was still absorbing Xin Zhen¡¯s internal strength.

    ¡°No! Come aid me now. Kill him!¡± Xin Zhen bawled. He could only depend on others under this circumstance.

    Unfortunately, the others were still busy cornering Bai Li. Xin Jiasheng¡¯s chest was opened up by a single blow from Bai Li¡¯s ws. His heart was exposed and could be seen beating from the outside.

    Those besieging Bai Li approached carefully after witnessing her cruelty. They soon realized that Bai Li was way tougher than they had initially perceived.

    There were four of them, yet they were unable to capture Bai Li. One of them was even heavily injured in the process.

    They decisively ditched Bai Li after hearing Xin Zhen¡¯s order and dashed desperately toward Qin Feng.

 Chapter 198 - The Best at His Age

    <h4>Chapter 198: The Best at His Age</h4>

    They had to kill at least one of them. Their initial fear toward Qin Feng had mostly transferred to Bai Li after they confronted her.

    But did that mean that Qin Feng was not as scary as Bai Li?

    Qin Feng sneered as he watched them close in. ¡°Can¡¯t wait to die, huh? Go to hell!¡±

    ¡®How dare you touch my precious Bai Li?!¡¯

    The fire dragon hovering behind Qin Feng came alive. The scorching me burst out with overflowing rune energy.

    The Xin elder who was bound to the Moonlit Wolf felt his consciousness being heavily impacted. He gritted his teeth to resist the pressure and stretched his own conscious energy.

    Ability, Sea Breaker!

    Instantaneously, a chilling breeze appeared within the blistering atmosphere. Water waves then materialized out of thin air and gushed toward Qin Feng.

    The wave shed with the fire dragon and resulted in steam. Water vapor soon engulfed the battlefield like a smokescreen.

    Three users from the Xin family took the opportunity and assaulted Qin Feng.

    Bam!

    Bam!

    Bam!

    Before they could celebrate the direct hits, three of them were shocked that the power of their punches or palms had immediately vanished as soon as they touched Qin Feng¡¯s body. Not only that, they could not retract their hands as they were being pulled in by an unseen force.

    Asteroid Assimtion!

    Qin Feng showed no mercy and the immense absorbing power turned his dantian into a powerful ck hole.

    The internal force of Xin Zhen and the three other elders assimted rapidly into Qin Feng¡¯s dantian.

    One after another,yers of energy clouds stacked within his dantian and boosted his internal force.

    On the contrary, the four preys, especially Xin Zhen, were getting weaker and weaker.

    Xin Zhen was the first to fall victim to Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion. He seemed to have instantly aged by twenty years.

    His vigorous appearance had been reced by a sluggish outlook. His firm skin had also lost its glow and begun to wrinkle.

    Asteroid Assimtion had not only robbed his internal force but was sucking away his life force as well.

    This strongest forbidden technique was no doubt exceptional. It was getting more and more powerful as time went by.

    Finally, Qin Feng felt that he could no longer draw any internal energy from Xin Zhen, and the three Xin elders¡¯ internal forces were nothing inparison to Xin Zhen¡¯s.

    ¡°Repel!¡±

    His strengthened internal force sent the four frail elders flying.

    Xin Zhen dropped to the ground with a loud thud, shattering his bones upon impact. His face was pale and listless, and his hair had turned white. The old man looked terrible and hideous.

    This person was no longer the Xin family¡¯s mastermind that could cruelly decide the fate of others an hour ago. Right now, he was nothing more than a dying old man.

    The water vapor had disappeared by now. Those who stayed back in the garden thought that the Xin elders had executed Qin Feng since the battle sound had died down. To their surprise, it was the Xins that had been dropped to the ground.

    Qin Feng stood firmly where he was, calm andposed. He did not show any signs of fatigue and his suit was barely scraped.

    ¡°You! You killed my grandfather!¡± Xin Jiayu, who got cold feet earlier, was the only member of the Xin family in one piece. He wailed in disbelief seeing the terrible shape his grandfather was in.

    He was in a dismay as he had perhaps just witnessed the beginning of his family¡¯s downfall.

    Xin Jiayu had a fierce appearance, but under these circumstances, he was just a spoiled brat that could only whine and do nothing more.

    Qin Feng snorted. ¡°He is not dead yet. I have not killed anyone. I was invited here as a guest today and not here to kill. Don¡¯t use an innocent person like me.¡±

    Since the start of the battle, Bai Li and Qin Feng had not killed a single one of them.

    Nheless, both of them had incapacitated two ability users and four ancient warriors from the Xin family. All of them were E-tier, this included their family leader, Xin Zhen.

    They were only left with Xin Jiayu, the only unscathed E-tier user in the Xin family.

    ¡°However...¡± Qin Feng changed his tone. This terrorized those in the scene that no longer had the will to revolt. They were certain that Qin Feng was up to no good.

    ¡°Now that you mentioned it, perhaps it¡¯s not a bad idea to tie up the loose ends.¡± Qin Feng¡¯s gaze fell upon the Xin family.

    ¡°No, please don¡¯t kill me!¡± One of the members who had his dantian emptied by Qin Feng cried out.

    ¡°Don¡¯t kill you? How much is your life worth? Why should I spare you?¡± Qin Feng asked solemnly.

    They were worthless in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes. As for them, none of them wanted to die. They believed that they still had a future with endless possibilities.

    ¡°Don¡¯t kill me. I am willing to give you anything. How about money? We have a lot of money!¡± The person said with a trembling voice.

    That did remind Qin Feng about something. ¡°Hahaha! Money. Weren¡¯t you all saying that you wanted 20% share of my Fengli colony earlier on?¡± Qin Feng rebuked sarcastically.

    Members of the Xin family could not refute. However, the guy immediately shifted the me to Xin Zhen. ¡°It was Xin Zhen¡¯s idea. That¡¯s never our decision.¡±

    ¡°You...¡± Xin Zheng pointed at the person with his shaky hand. He wished to tear him into pieces.

    However, he no longer held the indisputable authority in this family now.

    Others might not understand what had happened in the fight just now but they could clearly tell that Xin Zhen was wasted.

    Qin Feng could not care less about their internal strife. He was going to get what he wanted.

    After all, the Xin family was the one that crossed the line first. He wanted them to know that they had picked on the wrong guy.

    ¡°So, you no longer want the 20%?¡± Qin Feng nced at them and asked.

    ¡°No, we don¡¯t want it!¡±

    Who would dare to take it when the knife was right on their necks?

    ¡°Seeing that I am holding your lives in my hand, does that mean that I get to extort the entire Xin family? Let¡¯s see...¡± Qin Feng looked at them like they werembs to be ughtered.

    ¡°I have made up my mind. Just like what you have asked, I am going to take a 20% share of every Xin property!¡± Qin Feng ¡®offered¡¯.

    When Xin Zhen asked for the shares from Qin Feng, he had asked for 20 billion in exchange, which Xin Zhen had expectedly refused.

    Qin Feng returned the favor and asked for the same amount this time. Now, it was their choice whether to surrender the money or not.

    What a drastic turn of events!

    How rich was the Xin family?

    Forparison sake, Liu Xue as a mere F-tier captain in Han Town could support her parents to start a hotel and runic equipment business.

    The Xin family was one of the wealthiest nobles in Chengyang City. There were thousands of businesses that linked either directly or indirectly to this family.

    The amount of liquidity was unknown but their fixed assets were definitely a colossal amount!

    ¡°Since I am not a citizen from Chengyang City, I am willing to take your liquidity aspensation for the 20% share. It¡¯s either the money or your life, your choice. I know An Zhengwei so don¡¯t try to fool me.¡± Qin Feng smirked coldly.

    An Zhengwei was a resourceful businessman. A person like him would no doubt know the actual worth of the Xin family.

 Chapter 199 - Undeniable Brilliance

    <h4>Chapter 199: Undeniable Brilliance</h4>

    The Xin family had offended Qin Feng first and refused to relent. They were reaping what they sowed.

    Currently, the only option left for the Xin family was to abide by Qin Feng¡¯s proposal. They were hoping that Qin Feng would spare them once they paid up.

    The family members looked at each other and nodded consensually.

    ¡°Honestly, our total assets only value around 30 billion. We only have 4 billion liquidities at our disposal. Would it be enough to buy our lives?¡±

    Qin Feng scanned the garden and counted. There were seven E-tier aptitude users and several F-tiers. Four billion sounds about right.

    They were no doubt an affluent family in Chengyang City. Qin Feng¡¯s demand had just ripped a big chunk off their family¡¯s wealth.

    ¡°Alright,¡± Qin Feng answered coldly.

    Xin Jiayu transferred the money to Qin Feng with a shaky hand. He wondered how long the Xin family would need to recover from such a cmitous loss.

    He still had no idea that other than himself, Qin Feng had debilitated every single E-tier user in the Xin family.

    The Xin family¡¯s fortune hade to an end.

    Qin Feng received the notification and nodded in satisfaction. He said, ¡°Thanks for the treat today!¡±

    The members of the Xin family looked grim. They wished they had not invited him in the first ce.

    One of them resented the oue and said enigmatically, ¡°Goodbye, Mr. Qin. We did not think of inviting you but the deputy mayor of Chengbei colony is apparently not on good terms with you. Thanks to his provocation, here we are begging for our lives. Better be very careful, Mr. Qin. We wish for nothing but your well-being.¡±

    Qin Feng stopped momentarily but he then walked on without saying anything. He lifted Bai Li¡¯s hand and ced it on his arm.

    They left the scene and heard a suddenugh of relief, maddening even,ing from inside the garden.

    ¡°Die, you old bastard!¡± It was a familiar voice,ing from none other than Zhao Hong.

    After Qin Feng left, Zhao Hong, who had been around all this while, suddenly lunged forward.

    A handgun promptly appeared in his hand and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

    Qin Feng¡¯s attack had destroyed the backyard along with the hidden stabilizer. Zhao Hong recalled his son¡¯s terrible fate when he saw Xin Zhen and other elders lying helplessly on the ground. His urge to kill burned brightly.

    Zhao Hong¡¯s first shot was aimed at Xin Zhen but the attack epassed the other three E-tier ancient warriors as well.

    Zhao Hong would never understand how he had aplished such a feat. Unquestionably, he had just finished off four E-tier aptitude users in one fell swoop.

    ¡°Today is the day that marks the downfall of the Xin family!¡±

    ¡°Bastard!¡± Xin Jiayu was infuriated and dashed toward Zhao Hong to avenge his family.

    But he was stopped by another attack that came out of nowhere.

    ¡°The Xin family must fall!¡±

    ¡°What are you guys waiting for? This might be our opportunity to topple their tyranny! We can¡¯t allow them to oppress us again!¡±

    ¡°Kill everyst one of them!¡±

    ¡°Yeah!!¡±

    Tacitly, those who had been intimidated by the Xin family all this while had decided to assault Xin Jiayu together.

    Xin Jiayu¡¯s hand was hurt by Qin Feng, and he further aggravated the injury when fighting the beast earlier. Moreover, he still had not fully recovered his internal energy and was thus unable to break through the siege.

    ¡°Bastards! How dare you oppose the Xin family?¡±

    ¡°Xin family? You guys are already doomed!¡±

    ¡°Even at this point, you are still so full of yourself!¡±

    ¡°Finish him!¡±

    Though their attacks were unable to kill Xin Jiayu, they did manage to trap him and keep him away from Zhao Hong.

    Zhao Hong was emotional. Revenge was sweet. He changed his weapon into a submachine gun and finished off the wood type Xin elder, who had only fainted.

    Amidst the chaos, the Xin family lost a lot of lives.

    When Qin Feng walked out of the Xin family¡¯s gate, the entire mansion was filled with endless bombardments.

    Along with him were those who did not wish to get involved or those who plotted to pound the Xin family through other aspects.

    These people include An Zhengwei, Cheng Zhou, and members from the other two influential families.

    They now thought of Qin Feng differently.

    ¡°Mayor Qin!¡± An Zhengwei looked at Qin Feng withplicated feelings. It was a mix of fear and worship.

    ¡°Is Mr. An leaving as well?¡± Qin Feng asked as if nothing had happened.

    An Zhengwei sighed. If he did not witness the entire process, he would not have believed that this man in front of him had just single-handedly altered the power structure of Chengyang City.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, if you are satisfied with the quotation I proposed, I will pay you at once. Let¡¯s skip those lengthy processes from holding you up.¡±

    It was risky to pay the seller before the goods were sold. What if the value of the goods had been overestimated? This was not how they usually did business. Qin Feng knew An Zhengwei was trying to please him.

    That was the benefit of power.

    ¡°Thank you, Mr. An!¡±

    ¡°You are most weed!¡± An Zhengwei replied politely and immediately transferred the payment.

    In the blink of an eye, the money in Qin Feng¡¯s ount had bloated into 7 billion.

    Cheng Zhou walked over to him as well but did not know what to say. Not long ago, they were still peers learning from each other in the arena.

    But from today onwards, Qin Feng was no longer his equivalent. He had escted himself into a position that wasparable to the leaders of the Chengs, Hes, and Pus.

    All because he had toppled the Xins.

    ¡°See you around, Mr. Qin,¡± Cheng Zhou excused himself politely.

    ¡°Sure. Goodbye.¡±

    Members of the other families followed suit. They acknowledged him either through nods or words of goodbye before he left.

    They were still standing around and watching reverently as Qin Feng and Bai Li drove away in the hovercar.

    They could not help butment.

    The Xin family was done for. The following scramble for the Xin¡¯s enormous fortune would be a story for another day.

    Everyone attending today¡¯s banquet would never forget this name¡ªQin Feng. Nobody would ever look down on this teenager again.

    Whether it was the battle against the Steel-limb Broodmother; or the twenty-one-win streak in the Chengyang City arena; or obtaining the E-tier badge by reiming Han Town. Time and time again, people refused to admit his achievements and looked for all sorts of reasons to not acknowledge this teenager.

    Qin Feng became much too powerful far too quickly.

    Now, he had finally revealed his fangs. Now, he no longer needed to conceal his brilliance.

    He represented the future and without a doubt, he would soon be a new powerhouse in Chengyang City.

 Chapter 200 - Lin Zeng Being Complacent

    <h4>Chapter 200: Lin Zeng Being Comcent</h4>

    The curtain of night fell upon Chengbei colony, while part of the area was still brightly lit as it was at the peak of all the excitement.

    The area included Chengbei colony¡¯s red-light district, slump district, and also the gambling den!

    Eagle Clubhouse!

    The death of Jiang Shaoyang had never stopped any of the hustle and bustle around the area as there would always be a second or third recement avable.

    However, as soon as Xue Xingfu got his hands on the Eagle Clubhouse, it was reimed by Lin Zheng using all sorts of excuses.

    Now, Lin Zheng was sitting on the highest level of the clubhouse with a view that oversees Chengbei colony, apanied by beautiful women, while enjoying his life along with the breeze during the night.

    It was a rare urrence for Lin Zheng to be there.

    Despite having only one child of his own, with his unidentifiable number of mistresses and his healthy physical state, he would most probably have more toe in the future.

    Most importantly, he had gotten his revenge today.

    Therefore, it would be a must to visit the clubhouse for celebration and enjoyment.

    ¡°The wheel of fortune is forever in motion, Qin Feng, it is now your turn to lose!¡± Lin Zheng burst out inughter.

    Lin Zheng had constantly been in a good mood ever since he found out that Qin Feng had gone to Chengyang City.

    ¡°Mayor, let¡¯s cheer! Cheers!¡± Lin Zheng was surrounded by beautiful women andughter.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Mayor, leave your problems aside, let¡¯s drink, let¡¯s drink!¡±

    Lin Zheng was not drinking alone, he was surrounded by his assistants, and with the exception of some of those that were on duty, there were still four to five F-tier aptitude users there.

    Of course, most of them were F2 and F3-tier aptitude users that might be too old for talent and potential advancement, and also, they might not even have the resources to support themselves.

    While Lin Zheng might have already lost He Li and Jiang Shaoyang, there were still others that he could use.

    However, those around him might have been some sort of a hindrance to the Qin Feng of the past, now, they were nothing but the dirt beneath his feet.

    Not only would they not be able to stop Qin Feng, he might even eliminate them to step even higher.

    Now, they did not realize that Qin Fen had already taken down the Xin family an hour ago, and within two hours of battle, the family had sunk into a dire state, and it was the end for the family.

    Nobody had informed Lin Zheng about it.

    The others around him did not have the connection needed to receive such news.

    Everyone would only care for themselves during such turmoil and chaos, whereas for the Xin family, their hatred toward Lin Zheng had definitely grown deeper.

    While everyone was indulging in their enjoyment, a luxurious hover car drove into the slums while portraying its dominance as it hovered above the heads of the poor and arrived in front of the Eagle Clubhouse undisguised.

    At first sight, the appearance of the car would be directly linked to an unimaginable price, detailed and special handling.

    The special handling would also include the passengers that were within the car.

    The G-tier aptitude user henchman that was guarding the entrance was alerted by the iing car, immediately, a humble and weing smile was put on as he approached the car.

    While he was still hesitant about opening the door as a gesture of wee, the door was already opening up from the inside.

    The passenger that came down from the car was shockingly young.

    The first impression from the appearance of the passenger was the outfit that was made from high-end materials, tall and well-built physique, well-defined facial features, and the highlight was the pair of eyes that had a keen gaze.

    His smile was also another eye-catching feature.

    As soon as the passenger came down, the G-tier aptitude user was shocked as he trembled and stepped backward.

    ¡°Mad, Mad Fox! Ah...¡± A shocking scream was heard as he noticed the difference in terms of the other party¡¯s current status.

    Qin Feng stared at the person and noticed that he was one of Jiang Shaoyang¡¯s henchmen that used to hunt him down.

    That person shivered unwittingly, and in the next moment, he gave himself a hard p on the face.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, as you know, I was disrespectful with my words, I should be punished!¡±

    Qin Feng remained calm as his gaze shifted away, and he questioned, ¡°Where is Lin Zheng?¡±

    ¡°What would be the reason for paying a visit to Mayor Lin?¡±

    ¡°Does that concern you?¡±

    ¡°No... no!¡± That person reacted and kept his questions to himself, and immediately answered, ¡°Mayor Lin is now on the 8th floor, Room 808! This way please!¡±

    Only then, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

    Bai Li exited from the passenger seat and stood beside Qin Feng, putting her hands around his arm.

    Qin Feng uttered, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    That person seemed to have just snapped out of a daze as he immediately moved forward and led the way.

    Everyone in the surroundings looked at Qin Feng and Bai Li, they were puzzled, excited, and fearful all at once.

    Bai Li frowned as she noticed the fingers pointing at them and the hushed voices in the surroundings, in the next moment, she took out her aptitude user badge.

    ¡°Hubby, I have a feeling that we might get into trouble with these people, let¡¯s put this on!¡±

    ¡°Trouble? Who¡¯s the one looking for trouble, they should be grateful if we are not looking for trouble with them!¡±

    Indeed, the sole purpose of Qin Feng¡¯s visit was to look for trouble!

    However, Bai Li was right.

    It would be a good move to set a standard before causing a chaotic scene, or else, there might even be involvement of others who were irrelevant.

    Qin Feng raised his finger and put on his E-tier aptitude user badge on his chest.

    The crowd that had questions about Qin Feng was immediately silenced, and everyone bowed their heads to show respect, everyone was afraid to take another nce at him.

    E-tier!

    The true top-tier of Chengbei colony.

    There were not many of them.

    Qin Feng led Bai Li across the lobby withrge steps and got onto the elevator.

    The lobby was then crowded with people, as if a bomb had been nted there.

    Despite not many people knowing that Qin Feng had achieved E-tier, everyone had the feeling that he was up to no good.

    What was going to happen?

    Everyone was curious.

    However, none of them would dare to follow Qing Feng.

    At that moment, Qin Feng was already at the entrance of Room 808, the morous looking entrance door was soundproof, people outside would not be able to hear what was going on inside.

    He did not have the intention to show his respect and knock on the door.

    The double-door was then kicked open.

    The highly-soundproof door that was made of dense solid wood could not handle the massive force of an ancient warrior, and it fell with a loud bang on the ground.

    Bam!

    The deafening sound from the impact shocked everyone that was enjoying themselves inside the room.

    It was a huge contrast from the brightly lit and luxurious looking lobby, the room was only surrounded by dim lights as everyone was dancing around frivolously. Intense light from the outside projected into the room, the re was hurting everyone¡¯s eyes, and they could only see the silhouette of Qin Feng who was standing in front of the source of light.

    However, as he walked into the room, everyone in the room quivered as they began to capture a clearer image of him.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    One of them shouted and trembled visibly. The person who shouted fell silent immediately and hung his head, yearning to hide himself to avoid being noticed by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze swept across the crowd, and finally, he found Lin Zheng.

    Lin Zheng was stunned by the scene and could not resist the urge to question, he shouted loudly, ¡°What is happening, you, why are you here, didn¡¯t you go to the Xin family banquet, shouldn¡¯t you be...¡±

    Qin Feng scoffed coldly.

    ¡°Are you trying to say that I should have been ughtered into pieces by the Xin family? Why am I still here!¡±

    Lin Zheng took a step back unwittingly.

    There was fear, guilt, and shock piling up in his mind.

    ¡°You, you survived?¡±

    Lin Zheng replied, his face hardened.

    ¡°Mayor Lin, are you expecting something bad to happen to me?¡±

    Lin Zheng was shocked by the question and was immediately jerked back to his senses, then, he replied with anger to cover up his evil thoughts, ¡°You, cut the crap!¡±

 Chapter 201 - Abuse

    <h4>Chapter 201: Abuse</h4>

    Qin Feng looked at Lin Zheng who was clearly terrified to say the least.

    ¡°Lin Zheng, save the exnations, the Xin family has already told me everything, weren¡¯t you hoping that I would die?¡± Qin Feng spoke.

    Lin Zheng trembled while his eyes were filled with hatred, anger, and a slight trace of fear.

    He was unable to fool Qin Feng with his words.

    Qin Feng continued, ¡°Lin Zheng, you know what? There is a saying that says those who kill would eventually end up being killed by others!¡±

    Lin Zheng finally felt the cold shiver that began to rise from his heart.

    ¡°You, are you going to kill me?¡± He trembled while he asked.

    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡±

    Qin Feng was calm and tant about his urge to kill.

    Qin Feng had not had free time toy his hands on Lin Zheng.

    Lin Zheng was the person that Qin Feng wanted to seek revenge from.

    The reason behind his intention to demolish the Z Organization was to prevent others from being persecuted by the evil organization, and also to redeem justice for the past life that he had suffered.

    Lin Zheng was the main reason and the cause of the loss of his ability!

    If it were not for Lin Zheng¡¯s desire to change Lin Kai, Qin Feng would not have been captured for the experiment.

    Qin Feng believed that he was right in wanting to kill Lin Zheng.

    All of a sudden, Lin Zheng started raging and began to express his anger.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you trying to dere war with me? What makes you think that you can kill me, I am holding the position of a mayor, and you will face persecution from the aptitude user court for disregarding the others and putting the colony at danger by dering war with me in public!¡±

    Lin Zheng had been scrupulous all these while.

    Hence, he had been rather mild in dealing with Qin Feng, which resulted in him not having the power needed to defeat him.

    However, Qin Feng was the total opposite.

    ¡°If you really want to try and put me to shame in such a way, Mayor Lin, let me ask you, what about those coborations with dark organizations, coalition with illegalboratories, jeopardizing the safety of the colony, destroying the space stabilizing device, allowing criminal activities within the colony to carry out murder, robbery, and with that, should I continue?¡±

    Lin Zheng was stunned.

    ¡°You... you know?!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered, ¡°Mayor Lin, isn¡¯t it true that both of us have been mortal enemies since a long time ago?¡±

    Lin Zheng was shocked and his pupils contracted.

    Qin Feng was right.

    Both of them had been mortal enemies ever since the events revolving around Jiang Shaoyang and Lin Kai.

    Lin Zheng felt regret for not killing Qin Feng when he saw him in the Muzi Mountains.

    However, it was all toote.

    ¡°Qin Feng, things might not go ording to your way, do not underestimate others!¡±

    Lin Zheng immediately activated his internal strength and pounced toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not dodge the attack, he raised his hand and let out a punch.

    Bam!

    Both of their fists collided.

    Although both of them were ancient warriors, Qin Feng noticed that the punch from Lin Zheng was bby and weak, as if he did not give out much internal strength, and neither did the impactst long enough.

    In the next moment, Lin Zheng shifted his direction and rammed onto the french-style window with full force.

    Crash!

    The french-style window shattered into pieces while Lin Zheng took a leap from the window on the eighth floor.

    He was escaping!

    Lin Zheng, an honourable E-tier aptitude user, the deputy mayor of Chengbei colony, had chosen to escape.

    Two of Lin Zheng¡¯s henchmen were shocked with their eyes wide open as they stood beside the shattered window, while their body shivered as the howling wind blew onto their faces. They were fearful of Qin Feng¡¯s wild and domineering presence.

    No one expected things to turn out like this.

    ¡°Does he really think that he can escape?¡±

    Qin Feng spoke calmly, and then, he continued his pursuit.

    Lights from the outside had brightly lit up the surrounding area, Qin Feng had a clear sight of Lin Zheng who was ten meters ahead of him.

    ¡°Fire Beam!¡±

    Lin Zheng took a straight blow of the light beam.

    Boom!

    The force of the ability exploded on the back of Lin Zheng, and his internal strength was unable to withstand the massive force from the explosion.

    The fourth floor of the Eagle Clubhouse was being bombarded into ruins.

    ¡°Argh!!!¡±

    Screams were heard as they echoed in the night sky!

    Lin Zheng looked as if he was hit by a bomb, he was pushed forward by a greater force from behind and he vomited blood as soon as his legsnded onto the ground.

    Lin Zheng¡¯s internal strength became unstable as the attack from an E-tier aptitude user had greatly injured him.

    ¡°Run, I must run away!¡±

    Lin Zheng pushed on and rushed into the dark again.

    Lin Zheng felt the sorrow in him and he was aware that victory belonged to the winner and the loser would have to ept the defeat, his choice of escape had proven that Qin Feng¡¯s usation was the truth, and we would never have a chance to change his fate. He might even be treated as a criminal and be hunted by the bounty hunterwork.

    However, Lin Zheng did not have a choice, he did not want to die, and he could only escape.

    Unfortunately, it was a sad truth that Lin Zheng could never escape.

    Qin Feng was closing in from behind, and the gap between them was constantly reducing.

    Qin Feng was not the same anymore.

    Being an E-tier himself, after absorbing all of the internal strength of the E-tier ancient warriors from the ughter that had taken ce at the Xin family, Qin Feng was having a tremendous spike in his internal strength, and it was rapidly growing.

    He had never been this powerful before.

    Despite not pursuing with full force, Lin Zheng was still within his sight, soon screaming, and the chaotic environment of the Eagle Clubhouse began to fade from their senses, the pursuit continued into an empty alley.

    It was simr to the location where Qin Feng battled against Jiang Shaoyang.

    ¡°Let¡¯s end it all now!¡±

    All of a sudden, Qin Feng uttered and it seemed to be the end of the game of cat and mouse.

    Lin Zheng was shocked, he began to run even faster.

    It was at that moment, a beautiful girl wearing a dress appeared before him.

    She was holding onto a gun that was massive in size, and she was aiming at Lin Zheng.

    ¡®How could she be so fast, when did she appear?¡¯ Lin Zheng was taken aback. In the next moment, he had a ruthless idea.

    Since he was unable to go up against Qin Feng, would it be possible for him to take down the girl that was with Qin Feng?

    If he were to capture the girl, he might even stand a chance to threaten Qin Feng.

    However, before he could firm up his idea, a giant web wasunched right in front of him.

    Lin Zheng was immediately trapped within a white spider web that immobilized his limbs, and the force of sprinting forward had even pushed himself into moreyers of webs, his body was closely bound by the sticky web.

    Lin Zheng then realized what it was.

    ¡°Steel-limb Broodmother¡¯s spider web!¡±

    It wasmon for everyone to admire and discuss hunting down any king-tier ultra beast as it would oftene with perks that were unimaginable.

    Although the spider webs might not be deadly enough to kill, it would certainly be useful in such crucial moments.

    It would only require one hit to break down the defenses of an E-tier aptitude user and result in aplete take down of the enemies.

    It was like a hidden base that the enemies would never know about, and it was also effective in restraining the enemies.

    Lin Zheng was now feeling hopeless.

    Qin Feng¡¯s ability to react so quickly did not surprise Lin Zheng, he knew that it wasing.

    Within the next moment, Qin Feng had already pounced toward Lin Zheng at light speed while raising his fist and throwing out his ruthless punches.

    Thump thump thump thump!

    The punchesnded on all four of Lin Zheng¡¯s limbs.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    Lin Zheng screamed.

    However, with Qin Feng¡¯s insane attacking speed, it was impossible for Lin Zheng to tear down the spider web.

    Qin Feng maintained a cool and cruel expression as he raised his hand again and threw out another deadly hit on Lin Zheng¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    The massive internal strength that was like a river flowed in reverse, and every bit of Lin Zheng¡¯s strength was being sucked away by Qin Feng

 Chapter 202 - Killing Lin Zheng

    Chapter 202: Killing Lin Zheng

    Lin Zheng¡¯s face turned pale-white as all of his internal strength was being drained away, he had even lost both of the life-sustaining and skeletal-support ability in him!

    ¡°Qin Feng! I regret that I did not kill you when I first saw you!¡± Lin Zheng clenched his teeth in anger.

    Qin Feng remained silent and raised his hand, another ray of ck light appeared andnded on Lin Zheng.

    Despite losing all of his internal strength, Lin Zheng was able to clearly witness Qin Feng¡¯s ability.

    ¡°Dark abilities!¡±

    Qin Feng was surprisingly a dual-ability user?

    With such natural-born ability, it exined the reason behind his achievements, and also his capability to go up against the Dark-Robed Ripper when he was at the Muzi Mountains.

    Qin Feng had hid his talent well.

    Lin Zheng seemed to have found out the answer for his defeat.

    It seemed like Qin Feng wanted to fulfil Lin Zheng¡¯s wishes before his death, he answered, ¡°That¡¯s right, it is the dark ability, my ability has already been awakened since they day I took the awakening potion injection, and I had kept it as a secret from you, or else, you might have killed me on that very same day!¡±

    The fear within Lin Zheng was clearly shown on his face.

    ¡°Is there anything that you don¡¯t know?¡±

    Lin Zheng did not expect every single secret that he had kept from Zheng Yang had been discovered by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Is there?¡± Qin Feng smiled calmly. ¡°The only thing that I do not know is how you got connected with the Z Organization, and perhaps, you even have their contact number?¡±

    Lin Zheng could feel that his body had already deteriorated into a terrible state, and he could not sustain his life for much longer, however, he did not want to give Qin Feng his answer.

    ¡°Why would I tell you!¡±

    ¡°I am sure you will!¡± Qin Feng had expected such a reaction from Lin Zheng, which was why he had chosen to inflict serious damage onto him.

    Else, he could have killed Lin Zheng with a single hit when he was still at the Eagle Clubhouse.

    Qin Feng held back his deadly attack as he knew that there was still something that he wanted to find out from Lin Zheng.

    Now that Lin Zheng had been badly injured and was in great torment, his conscious energy began to fall apart.

    Bai Li got closer andmanded, while her silver eyes dazzled under the moonlight, as if they were ring stars from the sky.

    ¡°Look at me!¡±

    Bai Li yelled at Lin Zheng, who was also an E-tier aptitude user, and he was shocked by her aggressive move.

    His consciousness became blurred and unstable.

    ¡°How did you get to know the people from the Z Organization?¡± Bai Li sounded the total opposite from her usual polite self as she gradually became serious and focused.

    From her past memories, she knew that she was brought out from the Z Organization and her mother died within theboratory.

    ¡°It was one of the managers who had approached me for a trade, where I secretly provided them ease of ess to allow my son to be an ability user! Also, they had a rmendation letter from a top-tier personnel in Chengyang City!¡±

    It was merely an investment.

    ¡°Whose rmendation?¡± Qin Feng was eager to find out.

    However, Lin Zheng still had on a dazed expression.

    ¡°Whose rmendation? Bai Li repeated the same sentence.

    ¡°Liang Kan!¡±

    It was out of Qin Feng¡¯s expectation, however, it was still rtable.

    Liang Kan, this person was crucial to the entire case.

    ¡°Who else do you know from the Z Organization?¡± Qin Feng asked, while Bai Li repeated the question.

    Lin Zheng struggled to resist the control from Bai Li, however, his effort was in vain, and he answered, ¡°Nobody else!¡±

    Bai Li increased the control exerted on Lin Zheng to ensure that he was not lying.

    As Lin Zheng lost control over his conscious energy, he finally revealed every hidden truth in him.

    ¡°After kidnapping the newly-awakened ability users, I was afraid that Zheng Yang might be able to gather information that could potentially discover my involvement in the case, therefore, I sent my people to destroy theboratory, however, they went missing and theboratory was destroyed by other people!¡±

    The information provided was interconnected with Qin Feng¡¯s findings.

    Qin Feng paused for a short moment and continued to ask, ¡°Did Liang Kan meet with you, or did he just provide a rmendation letter? Was he involved?¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Lin Zheng answered.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Qin Feng waved his hand and instructed Bai Li to withdraw her conscious energy.

    It seemed that it was all that Lin Zheng knew!

    Lin Zheng began to feel puzzled as soon as Bai Li withdrew her conscious energy, however, before he could ask questions, his eyes were filled with darkness.

    Crunch!

    Qin Feng crushed Lin Zheng¡¯s skull with his palm.

    Lin Zheng was dead, with his eyes wide opened!

    He had encountered the same fate as Jiang Shaoyang at the dark and narrow alley.

    ¡°It seems that Lin Zheng was an investor in this conspiracy, Liang Kan was the middleman, and actions were taken at theboratory of the Z Organization. It was the same as what happened in Fu City!¡±

    Qin Feng now knew that he had to be more cautious as he noticed that the case had be more and moreplicated. He did not know whether his investigation would alert any hidden predator that might devour him to death.

    With that in mind, Qin Feng decided to first set aside the investigation on Liang Kan.

    ¡°I shall look for him again once I have returned from Sea City!¡± Qin Feng could finally let go of this case that had been bothering him all this while.

    He raised his hand and casted out a zing dark-red me.

    In the next moment, Lin Zheng¡¯s body was immediately engulfed in mes, soon, all that was left were only ashes and his runic inner armor, however, the armor was already destroyed and deformed by Qin Feng¡¯s heavy attacks.

    On the other hand, the highly-priced E-tier purple rune equipment that was on his body remained unscathed.

    Qin Feng managed to obtain Lin Zheng¡¯s spatial rune equipment.

    Although Lin Zheng might not be the most powerful opponent that Qin Feng had ever killed, he was undoubtedly the wealthiest opponent among all.

    ¡°We shall take care of these when we get back!¡± Qin Feng gave his order to Bai Li to bring them back to the Eagle Clubhouse.

    Everyone had left the Eagle Clubhouse as they were terrified by Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Beam that had destroyed the entire fourth floor.

    Even a single hit from an E-tier aptitude user would be a disastrous thing for any ordinary civilian.

    It was a difficult task to put out the mes that were left behind by Qin Feng, hence, every customer was terrified by it and ran away.

    Without anyone taking charge of the Eagle Clubhouse, the rescue effort was also dyed.

    Qin Feng did not have the intention to take care of the mess, he led Bai Li into the hover car and drove away from the main entrance.

    Only then, Lin Zheng¡¯s henchmen who were secretly observing him exhaled and felt relieved.

    They were fortunate that Qin Feng did not annihte the entire Eagle Clubhouse.

    However...

    ¡°What happened to Mayor Lin?¡±

    ¡°Try to call him!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t get him!¡±

    ¡°Could he be...¡±

    ¡°What should we do now? If something bad has happened to Mayor Lin, there might be another round of restructuring in Chengbei!¡±

    At that moment, everyone remained silent and gathered their own thoughts, as if each of them had formed their own assumptions.

    However, fear was still within them.

    While the hover car was still travelling back to the central part of the colony, news about the chaotic scene caused by Qin Feng had spread across the colony rapidly, and before arriving at Qinghu Garden, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator rang.

    It was Zheng Yang!

    ¡°Qin Feng, I received news that you had a quarrel with Lin Zheng? Are you okay?¡± Zheng Yang spoke in a deep voice as he asked anxiously.

    Knowing that Qin Feng should definitely be able to take care of his own safety, it was Qin Feng¡¯s ability that Zheng Yang had felt restless about.

    However, Zheng Yang managed to calm himself down and suppress his worries.

    Actually, Zheng Yang was already prepared for the worst.

    Zheng Yang was different from Lin Zheng, he had his connections and contacts within Chengyang City.

    Every top-tier elder from the Xin family had been defeated during the chaos that Qin Feng had inflicted on the family, and the aftermath caused by the chaos had destroyed the entire Xin family.

    Nobody could stop Qin Feng now.

 Chapter 203 - Zheng Yang Releases His Shares

    Chapter 203: Zheng Yang Releases His Shares

    ¡°Mayor Lin had, unfortunately, teamed up with the ck organization and was a threat to the safety of this colony. During our confrontation, he fled like a coward to avoid facing the consequences of his actions and thus, I struck him down.¡± Qin Feng said calmly.

    Although he had expected such an oue, Zheng Yang still felt a sense of dismay upon hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    After all, it was only thirty minutes ago that he caught wind of Qin Feng¡¯s sh with Lin Zheng at the Eagle Clubhouse.

    It did not cross his mind that Lin Zheng would meet his demise in just half an hour¡¯s time.

    The chaos he had expected was nowhere to be found. And to think that he predicted that their fight wouldst till sunset. Qin Feng having walked out alive, let alone a mere thirty minutes after the fight had started, and emerging victorious, waspletely left out of the initial equation.

    And to think that an E-tier aptitude user would die so easily, like a match burning out, without even a sound.

    It was only at this moment that Zheng Yang finally realised how terrifying Qin Feng was.

    At the same time, there were thousands of question marks floating around in Zheng Yang¡¯s mind.

    ¡°That¡¯s right! Lin Zheng hasmitted too many sins to be let off so easily. Here on my side too, I have received a great deal of information about that crook. That man! If he were to be allowed to go on living, he would be an existential threat to our colony! You have done well, Mayor Qin!¡±

    Zheng Yang had unconsciously changed the way he referred to Qin Feng after the whole incident.

    Before this, his actions would only be ruled by emotions, which he severelycked control over. He only thought that Qin Feng was just another lucky punk who had bluffed his way up the system.

    And now, all those doubtful thoughts hadpletely faded away!

    ¡°I was merely executing my duty!¡± Qin Feng took credit without showing the slightest hint of embarrassment.

    Protecting the colony was not on Qin Feng¡¯s mind when he went into battle. No, it was only the people closest to him, people who he loved that he wanted to protect.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be so courteous, Mayor Zheng!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    The sound of people shuffling about could be heard on Zheng Yang¡¯s end, reflecting how busy his side currently was.

    While Lin Zheng¡¯s death did not affect those on the bottom of the totem pole at his colony, the same could not be said for their higher-ups. The entire upper echelon was, in short, under a massive reshuffling process.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, I¡¯ll deal with the situation here. You don¡¯t need to worry about things on this end. Though, about your reward for this round...¡± Zheng Yang hesitated on whether or not he should continue, which he did but in a hushed voice. ¡°With Lin Zheng down, the movement of rewards will inevitably be an extremely cumbersome task. How about I exchange this time¡¯s reward with Fengli colony shares that I have bought? Of course, that alone will not suffice topensate for what you have done. For that, I¡¯ll reimburse you with Chengbei colony¡¯s Commercial Street, how ¡¯bout that?¡±

    To discuss such matters over themunicator was rather outrageous!

    Hearing Zheng Yang¡¯s proposition, Qin Feng¡¯s brows knitted. Still, the corners of his mouth were curled upward.

    Zheng Yang was a clever man.

    Too clever perhaps.

    He was, in essence, buttering Qin Feng up.

    Zheng Yang¡¯s investment in Fengli colony was worth at least a billion yuan. And he let this go so effortlessly.

    Lin Zheng indeed possessed a massive amount of funds but it would take a while before anyone couldy their hands on the money.

    With that in mind, to hand over Fengli colony¡¯s shares to Qin Feng at this specific moment was an extremely generous act.

    Zheng Yang knew that since Fengli colony was under Qin Feng¡¯s control, the man would undoubtedly hope to consolidate his power over the territory in a monopolizing fashion.

    Moreover, fearing that Qin Feng would misunderstand that Zheng Yang was barring him out of Chengbei¡¯s matters, he dly offered a handful ofmercial streets as a gift¡ªan extravagant one at that.

    ¡°Well then, It¡¯ll only be disrespectful of me to turn down such a generous offer!¡± Qin Feng responded.

    Mayor Zheng burst outughing. ¡°You have my gratitude, Mayor Qin.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee!¡±

    The two showered each other withpliments. As Zheng Yang still needed to tend to urgent matters, it was not too long before their conversation came to an abrupt end.

    Qin Feng smiled.

    From now on, Fengli colony would be his and his alone!

    ¡°Bai Li! Pack up your clothes. We¡¯ll be moving out tomorrow!¡±

    Bai Li looked at Qin Feng doubtfully. ¡°Why¡¯s that?¡±

    With the smile still on his face, he pinched hard on Bai Li¡¯s pudgy little cheek.

    ¡°A grand vi¡¯s waiting for us there! It¡¯s got a garden, a yard and a swing. Oh yeah, It looks just like that princess¡¯s mansion in that film I watched with you!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s eyes glimmered. ¡°Okay!¡± she replied while nodding enthusiastically.

    ***

    That night, Qin Feng resumed the lotus position to gather up his body¡¯s internal strength.

    The five E-tier ancient warriors merely provided moreyers to Qin Feng¡¯s sea of clouds. After unleashing absorption, Qin Feng only managed to add two additionalyers to his collection. It became obvious that an ancient warrior¡¯s internal strength paled significantly inparison to Qin Feng¡¯s.

    As of now, he was already at thirteenyers.

    ¡®I think I¡¯ll have to stop once I reach E-tier. I¡¯m gonna have to go through so many more battles, or find some sort of divine item before I¡¯m satisfied!¡¯ Qin Feng thought to himself. Though, it did not affect him that much. After washing up, he proceeded to have a good night¡¯s sleep.

    It was a night without words. On the second day...

    Bai Li woke up early to pack up her clothes. The hangers which held her clothes were even removed from the rack. Her favorite bedsheet, her favorite curtains and that tiny, intricately woven bag¡ªthey were all packed up neatly, ready to be taken away.

    ¡°Okay, that¡¯s enough. No biggie, we¡¯ll buy new things after settling down. No need for you to bring the entire ce along!¡±

    Qin Feng stopped Bai Li from gathering even more of her favorite items which seemed never-ending. Then, in a semi-dragging sh lifting motion, he brought her out of the door.

    Shortly after, the luxurious hover limo left Chengbei colony for its destination, Fengli colony.

    A new sight seemed to apany each passing day at Fengli colony. It was now halfway through its construction process but the exclusive areas reserved for its mayor had already long beenpleted.

    It was after yesterday¡¯s incident did Qin Feng decide to move here.

    Unlike other colonies, Fengli¡¯s spatial stabilizing device was not located above its central square, and so, the heart of the colony was slightly offset inparison to other ces.

    The center of Fengli colony was surprisingly sparsely popted, meaning that this ce was not going to be the most prosperous region anytime in the future.

    And yet, this ce symbolised the extreme wealth disparity within the colony.

    Zimu Mountains.

    Right now, its original form was no longer visible. The stumpy mountains had beenpletely remodelled by the constructions that went up around it.

    Smack on top of the mother mountain was a gorgeous-looking vi.

    Qin Feng¡¯s vehicle drove up the road that wound around the mountain. There were terrace houses at the foot of the mountain and halfway up, one could find individual vis with their own gardens. Of course, these all could notpete with the one found at the summit of the mountain.

    One could rightfully call this a manor. A pearl-white half open arch greeted Qin Feng and leading up to the main building was a roadid with smooth, shining bricks that stretched a hundred meters out. On both sides of this road were a number of different trees and flowers.

    Going down the road, one could observe a beautiful fountain, as if it was carved by God¡¯s own hands. The building stood like a pce with a citadel that reached up toward the heavens.

    ¡°How about it? You like it?¡±

    Bai Li was curious about everything. Naturally, after seeing the grand structure, she was extremely satisfied. ¡°This house is so big! I think it¡¯s even bigger than the Xin family¡¯s!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°To be honest, one only needs a bed to sleep at night. Though, with thisrge house, we¡¯d be able to hide our deepest secrets without being exposed!¡±

    ¡°What secrets do you have?¡± Bai Li faced Qin Feng with a curious look on her face.

    Qin Feng only responded with a smile.

    He pulled Bai Li¡¯s hand and led her up the citadel.

    Standing there, they were able to get a bird¡¯s eye view of the entire Fengli colony.

    Though, the closest thing to them was Qin Feng¡¯s back garden.

    It was only a hundred meters wide andrge trees were nted around it to make a wall-like structure. It seemed like it would be able to provide good shade against the stinging sunlight. However, through the canopy, one could vaguely make out a transparent istion chamber.

    Encased within it was nothing but pure ck.

 Chapter 204 - Double Victory

    <h4>Chapter 204: Double Victory</h4>

    ¡°During the construction of this colony, I got them to build a manor up here on the mother mountain. They even bore a hole sixty meters or halfway down the entire mound itself. It¡¯s all istion chambers in there, filled to the brim with infected soil as well as mutated nts, waiting to be decontaminated!¡±

    Qin Feng wore an ecstatic look on his face.

    ¡°The soil in there is entirely dark soil, the perfect substance to make a garden with. It¡¯s gonna be the best ce yet for me to meditate in!¡±

    Although he already possessed the gem of darkness, Qin Feng still had a load of runes before him to master. To do that, he needed a suitable environment which this ce offered. What was more was that there were tenyers of varying dark herbs beneath the surface waiting for him to use.

    Qin Feng had specially ordered for Xue Xingfu to construct this unique structure.

    While dark-ability ability users were few and far between, that did not mean that the same applied for its items.

    The gunpowder that gunners relied on could be used by anyone regardless of their type or build. Since dark-ability attacks were typically stealth-based, gunpowder was extremely useful when facing against creatures with low vitality but high attack power. The same went for certain jellyfishes from marine biomes.

    And since Xue Xingfu thought that Qin Feng was nning to invent items that were unique to Fengli colony, he wholeheartedly agreed to the mayor¡¯s ns without second thoughts.

    ¡°Yeah, I have a feeling that this will turn into our very own herb garden in the future. We should turn the front garden into something like this too! That consciousness tree from Chengbei colony looks promising!¡±

    Bai Li started pitching in her ideas.

    An ufortable feeling rose up in Qin Feng¡¯s chest once Bai Li started babbling about her grand ns. He hastily led her away froming up with anymore mischievous ideas.

    ¡°We¡¯ll cultivate it here IF we bump into it next time. You know, you gotta have a sufficient amount of heaven and earth spirit aura here to be able to pull such a n off. Since the climate here ispletely different, we¡¯re better off not doing anything drastic!¡±

    The most important issue was that the whole ¡°conscious fruits being stolen¡± incident had yet to clear up. For Bai Li to bring the tree here out of the blue would only raise more suspicion about her and disrupt the peace they were going to enjoy here.

    Only after a half day¡¯s worth of lecturing did Bai Li give up on her master n. Still, it led to a new idea sprouting in Bai Li¡¯s mind¡ªshe started wondering what new doodads she could bring home.

    Ignoring her, Qin Feng looked one more time at the colony below him. Only half a month and the construction progress was already going on so smoothly that the first ring wall had already been erected!

    Of course, as the colony continued to develop, the second, third, fourth, fifth or even the sixth wall would follow, spreading out like a ripple across a water surface.

    Though, for now, this wall was more than enough for him!

    ¡°I want all of the higher-ups to gather around. Our meeting¡¯s gonna start soon! Mayor Zheng will also be attending.¡±

    Qin Feng issued his orders.

    Upon hearing his words, everyone in Fengli colony started moving around busily, like well-oiled cogs in a machine.

    Zheng Yang had been so busy the previous day that he stayed up all night dealing with urgent matters. However, ancient warriors generally possessed great endurance and staying up one night was not even worth mentioning. These people could stay up for three days and three nights, relying on their internal strength alone.

    At 1pm in the afternoon, the man arrived at Fengli colony.

    In the past two weeks, Zheng Yang was unable to get the chance to catch a glimpse of the colony¡¯s development progress. And now, his chance had finallye. Looking at the colony, it was entirely made up of newly-finished buildings which seemed to have sprung up overnight like mushrooms after a downpour.

    ¡°With Qin Feng here, this colony¡¯s potential is near limitless!¡± Zheng Yang eximed.

    Trailing behind Zheng Yang were two F-tier aptitude users. They appeared to be quitepetent but both of them felt envious at the grand sight of the new colony nheless. If only they had a say in the establishment of this colony.

    However, knowing Qin Feng¡¯s capability, which was precisely what it took to raise this new colony, they could not help but sigh out in helplessness. Still, it was hard to deny the dissatisfaction they felt in their hearts.

    ¡°Mayor, are you going to just leave the colony in Qin Feng¡¯s hands like that? This ce was something that you painstakingly exchanged for with tons of gold and silver after all. Don¡¯t you think that it was just dumb-luck back then? To be chosen by the mayor to soothe the tension between other E-tier aptitude users and all.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right! I don¡¯t think he deserves that much credit!¡± The other F-tier aptitude user added.

    Zheng Yang halted in his tracks and looked over to his subordinates. With a hushed voice, he replied, ¡°Since he took down Lin Zheng yesterday, essentially cutting off the serpent¡¯s head, does that mean that I should give him half of Chengbei?¡±

    The two of them were left speechless.

    ¡°When doing your tasks, you should not expect rewards when you did not put in an equal amount of effort. If not for Qin Feng, I wouldn¡¯t be able to gain control over the colony so effortlessly, not in a million years! For this, I am indebted to him. When we meet the actual man himself, I do not want to hear such wordsing out of your mouths! Do you understand?¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir! It was our fault, Mayor!¡±

    ¡°Our mouths are sealed, Sir!¡±

    In actuality, even if they uttered such things, it would all be irrelevant.

    Upon reaching Fengli colony, the man waiting at the gates to wee them was naturally Zheng Yang¡¯s old subordinate, Xue Xingfu. Seeing the man¡¯s rounded body, it naturally implied that life was rather enjoyable here at this colony.

    ¡°Mayor!¡± Xue Xingfu looked nervously at Zheng Yang. There were hints of embarrassment and guilt painted on his face.

    Of course, he had already caught wind that Zheng Yang was here to talk with Qin Feng about the shares he owned in Fengli colony.

    ¡°Old boy Xue! You¡¯ll be staying here from now on! Don¡¯t sweat it! It was me who had wronged you back in Chengbei!¡± Zheng Yang assured Xue Xingfu while patting his shoulder.

    ¡°Mayor, if you¡¯d like to use ournd in the future, please do not hesitate to ask me about it.¡± Xue Xingfu felt a heavy load slide off his shoulders and at the same time, he felt a sense of gratitude toward his old boss.

    It did not take long for them to get a conversation going as they walked up the skyscraper, heading toward the grand conference room.

    Qin Feng stepped forward to wee his guest.

    ¡°Mayor Zheng, I wee you to our humble colony.¡±

    ¡°Ha ha, what¡¯s that? I have yet to express my gratitude for your actions, Mayor Qin!¡±

    After going through the formalities, both of them finally took their seats.

    Zheng Yang¡¯s seat was ced on one end of a long table with Qin Feng on the other end.

    Both of Zheng Yang¡¯s subordinates sat on the other side of the table, beside the mayor himself. On Qin Feng¡¯s end, there were a great deal of people, both seated at the table as well as around his seat.

    There were more people than Zheng Yang originally imagined there to be.

    Silently, he started sizing up his counterpart. Zheng Yang grew more and more surprised as he did so.

    Seated on Qin Feng¡¯s right was, as he had expected, Bai Li. On his left was a young man who appeared bone-thin. Something seemed off about him but it was hard to pinpoint exactly which part of him was weird. Still, based on his aura alone, Zheng Yang could make out that he was a solid E-tier user?¡ªit was Lin Wuyi.

    Fengli colony was only about asrge as Han Town, which was by no means a big city. Despite this, they already had three E-tier aptitude users roaming around!

    Moving along, there were Qin Feng¡¯s subordinates, Xue Xingfu and Lin Derong.

    Zheng Yang was already well-acquainted with these men.

    Even for those who he was not familiar with, he made sure to gather data about them to study on.

    Liu Xue, Wang Chen, He Ling, Zhao Xiang and the rest were all those who Qin Feng personally rescued from Han town. These were all F-tier users.

    There were some who appeared asplete strangers to Zheng Yang.

    For example, there was Liu Heng, the former ve owner outside Sea City. Ever since he provided Qin Feng with ves, he was appointed as the minister of the propaganda department, whose job was to recruit fighting troops for the colony and to increase their poption, all of which he had done well, hence the reason why there was a recent spike in his poprity.

    And then there was... Zhou Hao!

    He was the only G-tier user on the scene but surprisingly, no one looked down on him. Standing on his shoulder was a palm-sized golden ant. It had wings which appeared disproportionate to the rest of its body to the point where people doubted its ability to fly.

    This F-tier Golden Ant Queen was in the process of recovering from its wounds, so its wings were still far from its usual size.

    It appeared to be trembling in fear, as if trying to minimize its presence in the room.

    Before entering the room, both of Zheng Yang¡¯s subordinates still had the same dissatisfied look on their faces. However, upon seeing the higher-ups of the colony, they were so intimidated that they uttered not a single word more.

    The talks that day ended smoothly.

    Zheng Yang transferred forty percent of his own shares to Qin Feng, which could be said to have been done under the table. Apart from that, Qin Feng was also rewarded with two of the most prosperous streets in Chengbei colony. That included the high-end street where Qin Feng bought clothes for Bai Li. The second street was located near the central square where Wanzong¡¯s store was set up.

 Chapter 205 - Absolute Domination

    <h4>Chapter 205: Absolute Domination</h4>

    It went without saying that these shops could not be sold off. Allmercial real estate within the colony was under the mayor¡¯s legal ownership.

    However, the annual rent for these assets was at the very least, over 100 million yuan.

    As for how much money was made after Lin Zheng¡¯s downfall, Qin Feng did not bother asking. There was no need to.

    No doubt, Zheng Yang was a genius. After the world had ended, such talks had the same effects as mere verbal agreements. The only added benefit for meeting face-to-face was that they could calcte dividends and make slight alterations much more easily.

    Though, in most cases, such a contract was like a house of cards; it could break down without a moment¡¯s notice.

    In the event that Qin Feng died in his sleep, the shops would remain standing and no one would be left to enjoy spending this cash.

    And in the event that Qin Feng advances into D-tier, Zheng Yang would not pull back the forty percent of his shares, even if he had eighty additional pairs of balls.

    Their headlock was a win-win for everyone.

    After the talks had officially ended, it was Qin Feng¡¯s turn to personally send Zheng Yang off. However, their conference did not end there.

    They still had more calctions to do.

    That included the distribution of shares to everyone present in the conference room.

    It was given that these shares would never remain static and unchanged.

    Should Qin Feng¡¯s feats grow everrger in the future, so would his subordinates¡¯.

    Thus, those who followed in Qin Feng¡¯s footsteps would see the assets in their hands grow everrger.

    Still, there was nothing to lose even if onegged behind. It was just that the shares would soon saturate the market and when sold, the seller would only be left with his sry in the end.

    To avoid such a fate, these people would have to work extremely hard and whether or not they were blessed with certain talents to make it out on top was also a significant factor.

    ¡°Therge amount of materials Mayor Qin had previously invested should be counted as capital and be transferred into the warehouses!¡±

    ¡°That should be merged with Mayor Zheng¡¯s gift of his shares.¡±

    ¡°Mayor Qin¡¯s additional 2 billion yuan injection has expanded our assets by quite a significant margin...¡±

    At the end of the calctions, Qin Feng alone owned eighty seven percent of Fengli colony¡¯s shares while Bai Li and Lin Wuyi owned three percent of the shares each since their arrival at the colony. That was in spite of zero obligations they had toward the colony.

    As the earliest investor, Xue Xingfu¡¯s allocation had been reduced from ten percent to a mere two percent. However, when considered as a whole, there was an overall increase in assets so there was nothing he couldin about.

    Each of the remaining F-tier aptitude users were given zero point five percent ownership of the colony each.

    That leaves the final one percent that would act as a reserve.

    ¡°We¡¯ll be meeting again three monthster. From now on, expect changes every yearly quarter. It is fine for you to strive for the better but I still hope that each one of you will continue working together in peace. I expect from you a functioning team, not a brawl! Do you understand me?¡±

    The initial smiles on their faces faded away in the blink of an eye.

    Qin Feng had given his warning.

    If one of them died, the share in which they held would not fall into the hands of another instantly. However, there was no doubt that it would be redistributed to someone else in the next roundtable discussion.

    This was also why rtionships within a colony were soplex.

    Qin Feng¡¯s growth would soon turn out to be beyond their expectations. It was still too early for them to be turning on each other now.

    Qin Feng did not want to see his underlings go through such a process.

    All of them responded positively to his warning, indicating that none of them had treacherous intentions, at least superficially-speaking.

    It was only after everyone had left did Qin Feng walk out with Zhou Hao.

    ¡°Xiao Huang¡¯s recovering pretty well it seems!¡±

    ¡°Of course! I¡¯ve been bringing it to the copper mine at Greenhill and she¡¯s chomped away most of the cave at this point. It¡¯ll not be long before she makes a full recovery!¡± Zhou Hao responded.

    Unfortunately, Zhou Hao did not have the ability to produce and own top-notch items. That said, there were so many valuable resources scattered around in the wilderness, and Zhou Hao was an extremely diligent person.

    ¡°Hmm, but you shouldn¡¯t rely too much on it. You¡¯d be better off limiting your visits to the mine. After all, this ant¡¯s already at F5-tier while your ability remains stagnant below it!¡±

    ¡°That, I understand. But still, there ain¡¯t many ways to go around the problem!¡±

    An idea popped into Qin Feng¡¯s mind. ¡°I remember this consciousness-based trick from a beastmaster, it¡¯s called counter-supplementing!¡±

    Contracting through one¡¯s consciousness, one would be able to transfer powers within an ultra beast to strengthen oneself.

    After stumbling into Xiao Huang, Zhou Hao had read extensively on all things beastmaster-rted and it was safe to say that this was no easy job. The greater the beast¡¯s potential, the greater the danger the beastmaster was exposed to. In the event that the fragile contract between man and beast breaks down, the first person to die would be none other than the beastmaster himself.

    ¡°But, that wouldn¡¯t be too kind on Xiao Huang would it!?¡± Zhou Hao stole nces at Bai Li. He knew that she had already reached E-tier so he whispered into Qin Feng¡¯s ears. ¡°Please don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re gonna use the same trick on Bai Li.¡±

    Qin Feng could not help butugh at the idea of sucking away Bai Li¡¯s powers. ¡°She isn¡¯t really suited for that kind of a role.¡± he replied. The thing was, he did not need to rely on such a method to grow his powers. Qin Feng was already satisfied at the rate of his growth.

    Though, should the daye where the rate of his growth became insufficient, Qin Feng could engage in real battles to strengthen himself. After all, he was far fromcking in the energy department.

    It was Zhou Hao who severelycked energy, but on the battlefield, he remained quite thepetent fighter.

    ¡°Zhou Hao, why don¡¯t you think about it this way. While the yellow ant queen certainly possesses a formidablebat capability, don¡¯t forget that it¡¯s also a queen whose job is to produce offspring. The energy that overflows when it grows will not be utilized to upgrade its own ability but to produce massive batches ofrvae. When that dayes, what would you do? Eat ant eggs everyday as poption control?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s words resonated with Zhou Hao¡¯s concerns. ¡°Speaking of that, I¡¯ve noticed that Xiao Huang has been acting up for the past couple of days. It seems like it¡¯s gonna molt into an evenrger body. You¡¯re lucky to own a house that big. If not, you¡¯d face the trouble finding a suitable ce to house her!¡±

    It was obvious that Xiao Huang¡¯s maternal instincts to create a new burrow in order to spawn more of her kind had kicked in. Thinking back to the anthill from before, Zhou Hao was reluctant to let her have it her way.

    ¡°That is why Xiao Huang¡¯s purpose isn¡¯t for you tomand her on the battlefield. Instead, she¡¯s gonna help you grow your strength. Tell me, if that isn¡¯t the case then what else can be the reason for Chi Long to be so envious of you? It is only because of Bai Li¡¯s ability that he refrained from messing with you. My advice to you is to hurry up and get stronger, get it?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I understand now!¡± Zhou Hao nodded. He nned to head back and practice his skills, but right before leaving, he could not stop himself from teasing Qin Feng. ¡°Bai Li¡¯s ability makes her very powerful too. Still, I see that you don¡¯t let her in on your fights that often. Perhaps her function isn¡¯t to fight but to be your lover?¡±

    ¡°Oh piss off!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha!¡±

    ¡°Well, guess I¡¯ll leave first. Seems like Lin Wuyi is waiting for his turn to speak with you.¡± Zhou Hao gestured toward the person who was standing not far behind Qin Feng.

    Lin Wuyi waited for Zhou Hao to leave before walking toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I really have to thank you this time. Especially after you have allocated the shares to me!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s actions gave him a rare sense of belonging.

    Lin Wuyi was euphoric after gaining his much-awaited freedom. However, his reintegration into society had been a rocky journey and he was clueless in the beginning.

    As mutants were different from ordinary ancient warriors, they could not grow stronger by relying on the cultivation method. Instead, they had to go through changes in their genome in order to get stronger or had experiments done onto them, just like back in the research facility.

    And since there was no need for Lin Wuyi to cultivate his strength, he was so bored that his *nuts had started hurting.

    ¡°The reason I¡¯m allocating the shares to you is so that you can tear your mind out on making it growrger. If you¡¯re truly bored, then I suggest you go out there and make some dough. So what if you can¡¯t enhance your ability right now? You¡¯d still be able to upgrade yourself by buying some more runic equipment, don¡¯t you think?¡±

    ¡°Well, that¡¯s certainly true!¡± Lin Wuyi nodded in agreement.

    However, a new idea surfaced in Qin Feng¡¯s mind. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, you shoulde with me to Sea City in two weeks¡¯ time. Profits are guaranteed, I should add.¡±

    Lin Wuyi smiled cunningly. ¡°Of course. I¡¯d like to meet the beauties at Sea City while we¡¯re at it!¡±

    ¡°You guys!¡±

    How could one me these young men who were full of vigor for thinking about girls?

    TL note: this is a literal trantion. I could technically use ¡°bored out of his mind¡± but the original trantion sounds funny as hell.

 Chapter 206 - Yang Sanhuâ€™s Invitation

    <h4>Chapter 206: Yang Sanhu¡¯s Invitation</h4>

    With this thought still on Qin Feng¡¯s mind, he turned over to Bai Li who was soaking in boredom. She made a tiny yawn, like a little puppy but cuter.

    ¡°Haha, I see. At this point, I¡¯m just being a third wheel here. Think I¡¯ll go home and surf the bounty hunterwork!¡±

    Lin Wuyi smiled as he left. Seeing Lin Wuyi walk off into the distance, Qin Feng made sure the man was out of sight before going over to Bai Li¡¯s side.

    Though, before he had the chance to say anything, hismunicator broke the silence as it started ringing.

    It was thest person Qin Feng would expect a call from at this moment.

    Yang Sanhu, the general of the Wilderness Rangers.

    ¡°General Yang!¡± Qin Feng greeted the man as soon as his battle-weary face entered the screen.

    As expected, Yang Sanhu was out in the wilderness. From his screen, Qin Feng observed a thick jungle with granite structures in the background.

    ¡°Mayor Qin!¡± Yang Sanhu responded with a friendly smile. ¡°You know me, I never go to church for no particr reason. I have something to discuss with you!¡±

    ¡°What is it?¡± Qin Feng was puzzled. Just what incident did Yang Sanhu bump into that he needed help from him?

    Still, Qin Feng¡¯s senses returned to him at lightning speed. Yang Sanhu¡¯s Wilderness Rangers were expediting out in the wild in search of crucial resources. Perhaps they had stumbled upon something impressive?

    ¡°I¡¯ve sent you a map. Maybe you¡¯d know once you see it.¡±

    Yang Sanhu was a forthright person and disliked pointless small talk. It did not take long for Qin Feng to receive a short clip on hismunicator.

    ying the clip, he discovered that it was footage of a small spring with its water flowing out from deep inside the face of a mountain cliff.

    This spring was by no meansrge. It was at most, two meters in diameter and looked like a small pond you would find anywhere in the jungle. However, the thing that caught Qin Feng¡¯s attention were the nts that grew around it.

    E-tier hollow bamboo grass.

    On the surface, it looked just like a bamboo nt but in fact, it was a special type of grass that grew to a height of about one meter-tall. It possessed the purest form of energy in their dimension and could turn into internal strength once ingested as food. It goes without saying that this type of nt would fetch an extremely high price in the market.

    One shoot alone could sell for up to 3 million yuan and his entire screen was filled with countless of these shoots.

    From what he saw, Qin Feng approximated that there were at least fifty of them, meaning that profits might be upwards to hundreds of millions.

    Qin Feng¡¯s mind was still on these bamboo grass shoots, but instead of watching the footage till the end, he quickly returned to the call with Yang Sanhu.

    ¡°I¡¯ve watched the video. So, what¡¯s the difficulty you¡¯re facing? For there to be so many of these precious nts in one ce, there must be a guardian beast watching over nearby, right?¡± Qin Feng teased.

    ¡°You¡¯ve got it right, Mayor! We¡¯re really in deep sh*t now!¡± Yang Sanhu responded smoothly.

    ¡°We¡¯ve found this treasure here and yet there is a formidable ultra beast that stands in our way. It¡¯s a beast general tier scaled tiger in case you¡¯re wondering.¡±

    This is a type of ultra beast akin to a tiger but covered in ayer of tough scales. It was a ferocious fighter that had breached the E-tier threshold. Only a handful of well-known gunners had lived to tell the tale after taking down such beasts.

    Human-wave tactics against such a creature was an effort in futility. They had tried luring the beast out from the cover of the jungle foliage in order to increase their likelihood of sess, all of which were executed under Yang Sanhu¡¯smand.

    It however, only ended up with the team which was sent to retrieve these shoots being torn to shreds by the scaled tiger. Not only did their operation fail, they even lost a number of good men who were all gobbled up by the darned beast.

    From then on, Yang Sanhu refrained from taking any more unnecessary risks.

    ¡°There were some things which we found back then but gave up because we couldn¡¯t defeat the guardian beasts. But this time, I don¡¯t wanna give up something that¡¯s right in front of our eyes. After all, we have you on our side this time round, don¡¯t we?¡±

    Yang Sanhu continued, ¡°Mayor Qin, be rest assured, I will be more than willing to split the profits in half with you should youe to aid us in our fight. I¡¯ll coordinate our attacks with you. And you can keep its carcass after that if you want!¡±

    To Yang Sanhu, his half was already more than what he asked for.

    To rake in 80 million in just a single expedition. He would be an overnight billionaire! This was what a true E-tier aptitude user should be earning.

    Qin Feng¡¯s ie could be stacked up into a skyscraper, which was downright against God¡¯s teachings.

    And yet, Qin Feng¡¯s heart was pumping at the thought of raking in so much cash.

    Hearing Yan Sanhu¡¯s words, his mind was fixated on the things which he apparently ¡°gave up on¡±.

    Though, he did not ask about those things. For now.

    His n was to cooperate with the general first, to flex his might in front of Yang Sanhu, and the rest should soon follow smoothly. Now, was that not logical?

    To be honest, Qin Feng knew far more about such discoveries than the general himself. However, he was unable to participate in expeditions that went to ces too far away since the world had officially ended. Also, for something so far away, it must have been a significant issue for them to contact Qin Feng.

    They needed someone with the ability to go with them!

    Coincidentally, now was the perfect time to master one¡¯s ability.

    ¡°Of course, are you guys still there?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, we¡¯re still here!¡±

    ¡°Then sit tight. I¡¯ming for you!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll give you whatever you ask for! Your help is much appreciated, Mayor Qin!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re cooperating after all! Stop being so courteous, General!¡±

    The two of them discussed further about their ns and Yang Sanhu provided a specific location for Qin Feng to head toward. Naturally, Qin Feng nned to have Bai Li tagging along in his journey to the general¡¯s current position.

    If one wanted to grow stronger, then his footsteps must never stop.

    ¡°Bai Li, release the tank! We¡¯re heading out into the wilderness!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Bai Li released a lengthened-version of a battle tank immediately, onto which the both of them climbed.

    ¡°This may take quite a while! You should go catch some shut-eye at the back!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s no problem! I¡¯ll stay up with you!¡± Bai Li was holding amunicator in her hands. She scrolled up and down the screen, fulfilling her crucial duty of filling up the virtual shopping cart. The new address for her shipment had now changed to Fengli colony.

    Qin Feng caressed Bai Li¡¯s petite face before setting the destination for the battle tank¡¯s autopilot system. After he was done with that, he retrieved his ownmunicator from his pocket.

    On his end, he watched the entire video that Yang Sanhu had sent him.

    It was footage taken by a drone in the sky. Entering the lens was the small spring, followed by the hollow bamboo grass.

    Qin Feng zoomed in on the area closest to the spring.

    ¡°For so many hollow bamboo shoots to grow in a single ce, this area must contain a great deal of energy. This should also mean that there are lots of naturally-uring energy gems here!¡±

    Naturally-uring energy stones were not the type that modern human beingspressed energy out of. These were instead formed from the energy cores of dead ultra beasts which were left untouched by other beasts and were either buried deep underground, or left baking under the hot wastnd sun.

    Because of weathering effects, they would turn into a rock-like entity.

    The energy contained within these stones could continue flowing never-endingly. It could change the surrounding environment as a result and was a suitable item for cultivation.

    The energy that humans use today was that which had been artificiallypressed. It had even been acknowledged as a pseudo-currency that reced either gold or silver after the apocalypse.

    After the process ofpression, a one-centimetre cube would form and the current market exchange rate was one of these cubes to 10,000 yuan in cash.

    However, these were exclusively used by high-tier aptitude users, and for transactions under a trillion yuan, themunicator alone was more than enough.

    ¡®If there are indeed naturally-uring energy stones here, then we¡¯d really strike it rich!¡¯ Qin Feng thought to himself. His heart was now a field of mes thinking about all the money.

    ¡®Though, I haven¡¯t heard of anyone in Chengbei colony bing a billionaire overnight before my rebirth. Perhaps Yang Sanhu missed it, or maybe it¡¯s because he didn¡¯t have the ability to achieve such a feat then!¡¯

    Qin Feng felt that his theory offered the most usible answer to his question.

    ¡®I wonder just how big the naturally-uring energy stone is underneath that pool of water. If it isn¡¯t toorge, maybe I should ce it within the manor¡¯s garden to cultivate the nts!¡¯

    Qin Feng stopped himself from expecting too much before seeing anything firsthand.

    There was still the possibility of bing rich overnight though.

    As Qin Feng had set up dark runes around the tank¡¯s exterior, the rest of their journey toward Yan Sanhu¡¯s coordinates waspletely unobstructed, allowing him to continue basking in his thoughts.

    It was nearly twenty hours of travelling in darknesster that a glow could be seen rising up from the horizon.

    Qin Feng had finally arrived at the location sent by Yang Sanhu.

    Poof!

    A smoke bomb was shot into the sky, leaving a dark trail that contrasted against the bright white sky.

    This was a warning.

    Out in the wilderness, ck was a color that did not attract the ultra beasts¡¯ attention, meaning it was suitable to be used as a signal to indicate immediate danger for other human beings.

    If the person were to not respond immediately, they would soon be met with direct gun fire.

 Chapter 207 - The Wilderness Rangers

    <h4>Chapter 207: The Wilderness Rangers</h4>

    Such situations were far from being a rare urrence.

    Qin Feng already knew that he was within the Wilderness Rangers¡¯ defensive perimeter and so, he got down from the vehicle and ordered for Bai Li to tuck it away.

    As the hover tank descended toward the ground, it quickly became apparent that it would be an extremely difficult task to travel over such a terrain.

    Of course, that applied only to a normal human being. For Bai Li and Qin Feng, it was the same as walking over a smooth surface.

    Qin Feng felt someone¡¯s consciousness making contact with his own before disappearing quickly, like it had run away out of fear.

    It did not take long before arge search party appeared in front of them.

    These men were all wearing fullbat fatigues, each with a G-tier runic equipment. They were covered from head to toe in green camouge and the weapons they were toting appeared to all be of the same model.

    The Wilderness Rangers!

    ¡°You¡¯ve arrived, Mayor Qin!¡±

    The team moved forward to wee Qin Feng respectfully. Too respectfully in fact, as they had developed an inexplicable fear toward the man.

    If it were yesterday, no one would even know who this Qin Feng character was. All it took was one day for a great deal of them to know of his exploits.

    It went to the point where the other four great colonies had all turned their attention toward Fengli Colony, which had the potential to develop into the strongest colony in the near future.

    In Chengyang City, uttering Qin Feng¡¯s name was like some sort of a taboo.

    This was because the people of Chengyang City feared that the man would someday unleash great havoc upon their city.

    These were all in fact, mere spections, and Qin Feng, being in the eye of the storm, was the least affected by these nonsensical ims. Even till now, nobody hade spying on Qin Feng for intel gathering.

    If not for Yang Sanhu¡¯s request for help, Qin Feng would not even consider leaving the colony.

    ¡°You¡¯re pretty fast aren¡¯t you, Mayor Qin! Apologies for inconveniencing you with this matter!¡± Yang Sanhu hurriedly stepped forward and shook hands with Qin Feng.

    ¡°It¡¯s my pleasure. I can¡¯t leave an army waiting for me now, can I?¡±

    Finally, a glimmer of hope appeared in Yang Sanhu¡¯s eyes, reflecting his growing confidence in Qin Feng.

    If they were to travel in a straight line, it would not take too long at all to reach their destination. However, being in the wilderness, the terrain and the dense jungle foliage were obstacles that prevented Yang Sanhu from bringing with him too many men. Since they had to take detours around various natural obstacles, their trek would take at least two days.

    Somehow, Qin Feng was able toplete the journey within a single day. To achieve such a feat, his speed must have been incredible!

    ¡°Mayor Qin, you must be dead tired from travelling all the way here. How about you catch some rest?¡±

    Qin Feng adamantly shook his head. Right now, he could not wait to see what the scene looked like firsthand.

    ¡°No need for that. I rested well in my vehicle the night before. Now that my bones have all loosened up, time for some exercise!¡±

    ¡°Do you need me to gather more men?¡±

    Yang Sanhu was still quite nervous about the operation.

    After all, the power of a human paled so much inparison to an ultra beast¡¯s.

    Even if Qin Feng had achieved ground-breaking improvements, even if he had brought down the Xin family, it might still be insufficient to take the life of an ultra beast. However, Yang Sanhu wanted to try his luck, especially after hearing that Qin Feng had defeated the Xin family¡¯s contract ultra beast.

    ¡°That won¡¯t be necessary. Bringing me alone will be enough!¡±

    Qin Feng was not particrly bothered by Yang Sanhu¡¯s doubtfulness. After all, this feeling would soon disappear after seeing Qin Feng in action.

    ¡°Very well. Now, follow me, Mayor Qin!¡± Yang Sanhu took the lead and ventured forth into the foliage. ¡°It¡¯s quite far away. Would you mind if I use my ancient warrior abilities?¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Go ahead!¡±

    Yang Sanhu unleashed his internal strength, which flowed throughout his body. The next step he took was so powerful that the earth cracked open. And so, the speed at which the team was travelling increased by a significant margin.

    Yang Shanhu¡¯s strengthened body allowed him to move forward through the dense jungle swiftly.

    ¡°Disorienting steps!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s speed too, increased drastically. However, the manner in which he gained speed was not through his legs moving faster but rather, through constantly shifting his position. Unleashing his internal strengthpletely, Qin Feng¡¯s speed matched that of the general¡¯s.

    Bai Li did not possess such tricks. However, being a beast king tier entity herself, she was able to float effortlessly behind the duo, propelling herself forward by kicking the ground, where an immense amount of internal strength would shoot out.

    It took them nearly ten minutes of travelling before reaching an even denser part of the jungle.

    ¡°This is it. The territory of that scaled tiger!¡± Yang Sanhu announced to the team. His steps had grown noticeably more cautious as he shuffled between the trees.

    The scaled tiger was the overlord here. Anything that dared enter its hunting grounds would automatically be its prey regardless of its species.

    Qin Feng spread his consciousness throughout the jungle.

    There were quite a few ultra beasts roaming around the ce but none of them were as strong as the scaled tiger. Of course, this meant that they did not pose too much of a threat to the Wilderness Rangers too.

    ¡°I¡¯ve found it!¡± Qin Feng said as he lifted his leg.

    The scaled tiger was still having its breakfast.

    It was an F-tier ck bear. In the eyes of the scaled tiger however, this was nothing but an appetiser.

    Perhaps in its previous hunts, there had been no other ultra beasts that challenged its position in this part of the jungle. What the scaled tiger did not expect was for human beings to make their appearance in its territory.

    Human skin was easy to tear through and their flesh was tender. It was indeed a delicacy inparison to its usual prey.

    The scaled tiger licked its scale-covered face and slowly got up from its half-eaten meal. An additional side-dish of human flesh sounded delicious.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The tiger had its eyes locked onto Qin Feng. In the next moment, it sprung forth like apressed spring, pouncing toward him.

    Qin Feng on the other hand, did not even flinch. Channeling internal strength into his fists, he raised his arm at the iing predator.

    Boom!

    The sound of an explosion filled the air. Qin Feng¡¯s fist created an afterimage from the sheer force of his punch, which then expanded to ten times its original size and swept toward the scaled tiger like a typhoon.

    The scaled tiger hesitated while attacking, as if sensing some great danger heading its way.

    With its ws retracted, a simr explosion but of a metallic green color, filled the air.

    Boom!

    As the two shed, a series of eardrum-bursting explosions rang out.

    Yang Sanhu, who arrived one step toote to the fight, observed the fight unfold between man and beast. In the end, it was the scaled tiger that scurried away from the battlefield.

    Qin Feng gave chase to the escapee.

    Out of panic, the scaled tiger dodged from tree to tree.

    ¡°Roar!¡± The scaled tiger roared wildly as the scales on its body grew denser by the second.

    Coming from an other-worldly ne, this beast general had a powerful energy core that was of the metal-attribute.

    As the number of scales increased, the body of the scaled tiger too, grewrger andrger.

    In the blink of an eye, the scaled tiger grew to a height of a two-story building, which was about five meters tall.

    WIth such a thickyer of armored scales, internal strength would no longer be able to prate theyer and inflict injuries on the tiger. Itsbat capability surged with its sudden growth in size too.

    Standing underneath its hulking body, Qin Feng looked like a harmless ant waiting to be torn apart.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    It opened its gigantic maw. Then, the scaled tiger charged toward Qin Feng.

    This time, Qin Feng did not stand there stubbornly. Nimbly, he dodged to the side, away from the beast¡¯s attack.

    ¡°Phantom Motion Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng turned into an afterimage and disappeared from where he stood. The scaled tiger¡¯s tail passed straight through the illusion and mmed into a giant tree that stretched twenty meters into the canopy.

    Crack!

    The tree was bent in half at the trunk, which was its thickest part. Slowly, it came crashing down toward the jungle floor.

    In the blink of an eye, dust and leaves filled the air, blinding everyone on the scene.

    The scaled tiger charged mindlessly in every direction, hoping to mow down Qin Feng in its path.

    Qin Feng knew well that internal strength waspletely useless against such an opponent!

    ¡°Fire Dragon attack!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness surged madly.

    In the world of consciousness, a fire dragon spiralled into the skies above the diamond, crossing dimensions into Qin Feng¡¯s reality.

 Chapter 208 - Yang Sanhu In Awe

    <h4>Chapter 208: Yang Sanhu In Awe</h4>

    In the next moment, a massive dragon materialised out of thin air, wrapping itself around Qin Feng¡¯s body. Pointing its head toward the heavens, it shot up vertically.

    Due to the extreme temperature radiating from ground zero, the surrounding greenery burst into mes. Within a split second, the jungle was turned into what could only be described as a sea of mes.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Feng called out as he pointed toward the scaled tiger. The fire dragon responded with a deafening shriek as it swooped down toward its target.

    The scaled tiger¡¯s hulking frame made itself an easy target for the fire dragon, which unendingly spewed forth jets of mes at the scaly beast.

    While the scaled tiger was able to tank its attack, the sheer force from the fire st pushed it nearly twenty meters back from where it originally stood.

    Its ws which dug into the ground as it was forcefully pushed backward created deep, visible trenches in the jungle floor. The trees around it had been burnt to the point where they had be pure ck charcoal, creating a wide, dark streak that divided the jungle canopy into two.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The two beasts shed once more, their ear-splitting roars shaking the earth. Tall trees that stood around these ferocious monsters fell one by one, sending grey ashes that littered the jungle floor into the air.

    Yang Sanhu, who was taken aback by the scaled tiger¡¯s intimidating presence, was unable to participate in the battle.

    ¡°This...¡±

    Yang Sanhu was at a loss for words!

    In his previous battles with the scaled tiger, never once had he seen it balloon up into such a size. Itsbat power now was multitudes more than what he detected in their previous fights.

    And yet, its previous form was more than enough to send him and his team running for their lives. In its current form, the scaled tiger only needed to swipe once with its massive dagger-like ws at Yang Sanhu to take his life!

    However, despite it being such a ferocious E-tier beast general, Qin Feng was still able to maintain the upper-hand in battle and even managed to make it back away in fear.

    Qin Feng¡¯sbat power must have been sky-high, more than that of the scaled tiger, in order to do such a thing. Yang Sanhu was in awe.

    ¡®A prophetic child! Is Qin Feng what they call a prophetic child!?¡¯

    Thinking about Qin Feng¡¯s age and his current might on the battlefield, it was truly shocking to the core.

    Any regr E-tier aptitude user challenging a beast general all by himself was basically signing his own death warrant. To take down such a monster, one needed at least a hundred well-coordinated men to strike at it simultaneously.

    Of course, for elite soldiers who were more or less on par with regr E-tier aptitude users, a toon-sized team could quite possibly bring down the same monster.

    But right now, Qin Feng was fighting alone and was still able to crush his opponent.

    A heat wave swept once more across the jungle floor, forcing Yang Sanhu to fall back a hundred meters or so.

    On the battlefield, the area where Qin Feng and the scaled tiger were fighting was now burnedpletely white-hot.

    ¡°I¡¯d like to see how long you canst!¡±

    Qin Feng muttered to himself. On the other side, the fire dragon shrieked like a banshee as it dug its ws into the scaled tiger¡¯s body.

    ¡°Roar!¡± The scaled tiger went berserk. It tossed around wildly in an attempt to get away from the fire dragon¡¯s deathgrip.

    At this moment, its scales started glowing ruby-red. From afar, it looked just like metal that had been removed from a fiery furnace, glowing red hot.

    As the scaled tiger roared the second time, Qin Feng seized the opportunity to strike down on his foe.

    Raising his hand, he yelled out, ¡°Fire Beam!¡±

    A precise ray of fire shot into the scaled tiger¡¯s open maw, cooking it from inside out.

    Boom!

    A dull explosion filled the humid jungle air.

    The body of the scaled tiger, which writhed around in pain, struggled until it waspletely motionless on the ground.

    The earth, which shook as it struggled, had also finallye to a rest.

    ¡°Return!¡±

    The massive fire dragon that was circling in the sky above transformed into a line of ming runes. Like a flowing red stream, it returned to Qin Feng¡¯s body through the area between his brows.

    The surrounding ground was still burning but the dying mes too, formed into fire-red runes and slowly evaporated into the air.

    The only thing left on the battlefield was ayer of ash that caked the ground.

    Realising that the battle had ended, Yang Sanhu came running toward Qin Feng¡¯s position.

    At ground zero, the colossal scaled tigery dead on the ground. Its body was still covered in a heavyyer of armor-like scales.

    Holding the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hands, Qin Feng smashed down on these metallic scales, which nged as it fell off the tiger¡¯s body. Secondster, these scales faded away into nothingness.

    These were all made up by energy, manipted by the tiger¡¯s own runes. Once the energy was lost, its protective outeryer would soon follow.

    It did not take long for the beast general to be leftpletely exposed on the ground.

    The mouth-watering smell of cooked meat soon filled their senses.

    Under continuous fiery attacks, the metallic scaleyer that was supposed to protect the beast had turned into a makeshift oven that baked the tiger alive. The temperature within must have been incredibly high as even its skull had burst open, which presumably was the final blow that took its life.

    The scaled tiger was now edible as was!

    ¡°Woah, that smells delish!¡± Bai Li walked over with glowing eyes.

    ¡°Mayor Qin! You truly are a godsend!¡± Yang Sanhu said excitedly.

    To kill off the beast general in such an effortless manner. To Yang Sanhu, this beast general was no joke as it had already killed off twenty-odd men from his team!

    ¡°It was nothing. I¡¯ll take whatever I need from its body. You should have its meat, general!¡±

    ¡°Haha, that¡¯s all that I could ever ask for!¡± Yang Sanhu responded.

    ¡°Give me a sec, I¡¯ll clean it right up!¡±

    Qin Feng skillfully removed the remaining scales using the de of his saber. These were undoubtedly going to fetch a high price if sold at the market.

    The ultra beast¡¯s energy core was around the size of a human fist and was found in its cranium. Carefully lifting the core out of its head, Qin Feng tucked it away safely alongside the beast¡¯s scales.

    After that, there was the scaled tiger¡¯s ws as well as its tail to be removed.

    As a whole, Qin Feng estimated that these items could get him 10 to 20 million yuan.

    While it was certainly a great amount for a single person, if it were the team effort of say, a hundred men, it would be a measly amount for any E-tier user when divided up.

    And so, it took an awful lot of time for an E-tier user to advance into D-tier.

    After dealing with all the seble items, Qin Feng proceeded to carve up the scaled tiger. He made sure to slice a piece of meat for Bai Li to enjoy first before fixing breakfast for their team.

    Now that the scaled tiger problem was resolved, Yang Sanhu could not wait to bring Qin Feng and Bai Li over to the spot where the hollow bamboo grass grew.

    It was located at the foot of a mountain where only a fraction of sunlight broke through the dense forest canopy. Arge boulder had formed into the face of a cliff from which cool mountain water flowed out, into the little pool where the bamboo grass grew.

    If not for the scaled tiger guarding this area, this spot would have turned into a top-tier breeding ground for aquatic creatures.

    Of course, if that were to happen, the hollow bamboo grass would have to be sacrificed to make way for these creatures.

    While the scaled tiger was a true carnivore, it would still consume the hollow bamboo grass from time to time. Though, the beast general probably disliked its taste as only a tiny portion of these bamboo grass was eaten.

    This led to the hollow bamboo grass being preserved for Qin Feng and co to harvest.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, the grand totales up to fifty six stalks! Praise the lord!¡±

    Yang Sanhu was euphoric. The Wilderness Rangers had truly struck gold this time.

    ¡°Right. I¡¯ll deal with my portion on my own. I¡¯m nning to transport it back to Fengli colony.¡±

    ¡°Sure thing! Would you like me to get someone to help you?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not a problem! I¡¯m fine on my own!¡±

    Yang Sanhu no longer kept up the courteous act. He hurried over and shed down his half of the hollow bamboo grass.

    Qin Feng remained silent as he did his job. Using the Verdant Emperor Saber, he separated the stalks from the soil. Arge number of them still had bits of dirt attached to their roots but he stored them into his spatial runic equipment regardless.

    Afterpleting their bountiful harvest, Yang Sanhu and Qin Feng set forth on their return journey. Throughout their time spent around that area, never once did Yang Sanhu pay attention to the pool of water.

    ¡°This half month¡¯s worth of trekking and fighting finally paid off, haha!¡± Yang Sanhu said with a beaming smile on his face.

    Their cooperation this time had seen Qin Feng unleash his full potential on the battlefield, hence Yang Sanhu treated him warmly. At the same time, the general started pondering upon something after seeing Qin Feng in action.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, do you have anything you¡¯d be busy withtely?¡±

    ¡°Not much, really. Though, I will be going to Sea City to attend one of Wanzong¡¯s auctions!¡± Qin Feng replied.

 Chapter 209 - Treasure Cave

    Chapter 209: Treasure Cave

    Yang Sanhu shifted in his seat. ¡°Mayor Qin, you know that I¡¯ve been roaming in the wilderness for many years, so I know a bunch of good ces that I was unable to reach due to my own shorings. Would you like to apany me to these ces?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    He had been waiting for the general to say this!

    ¡°I¡¯d love to! But still, how would the loot be divided?¡±

    Yang Sanhu¡¯s brows became knitted once he heard Qin Feng¡¯s question but in the end, he sighed in defeat.

    ¡°I won¡¯t be able to reach these ces without Mayor Qin so I¡¯m thinking of an 8:2 distribution. Of course, I¡¯ll be taking the smaller portion!¡±

    This proposition, considering how many men were under Yang Sanhu¡¯smand, was not bad at all!

    ¡°Deal!¡±

    Yang Sanhu raised his cup happily and downed a shot with Qin Feng.

    The Wilderness Rangers too were celebrating. Although they were clueless as to how Qin Feng was able to take down the seemingly undefeatable scaled tiger, their doubt faded away upon hearing Yang Sanhu¡¯s promise of a sizable reward for each of them.

    The rangers went on to host a noisy feast even though it was only noontime when the general returned. After the meal, Yang Sanhu suggested that Qin Feng get some rest.

    The general did not know the extent to which Qin Feng had mastered his absorption skill . He thought that Qin Feng must have expanded a lot of energy during the fight and the most important thing after using up so much consciousness was to get some quality rest. At least, that was what applied to him.

    Qin Feng did not refute the general¡¯s advice and agreed to unwind for the rest of the day.

    As night fell, the Wilderness Rangers remained vignt, constantly on the lookout for any ultra beast that maye sneaking into their campsite.

    Even so, Qin Feng and Bai Li slipped quietly between the sentries on duty and left the camp undetected.

    With Bai Li¡¯s spatial maniption, their journey which would originally take ten minutes toplete, took merely three minutes.

    Under the pitch dark sky, Qin Feng stood beside the small pool of water. His vision was however, unaffected by the darkness of night. Instead, his vision was as clear as day owing to his unique ability.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was at its peak after all.

    Reaching his hands into the cool spring water, he let loose his consciousness, scanning through the entire body of liquid.

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    The bottom of the pool was perfectly t and there were visible traces of human activity from the past. It was obvious that this was not Yang Sanhu¡¯s doing.

    Though, it was his loss for not noticing this pool.

    Qin Feng raised his cupped hands and sipped a mouthful of this spring water. It tasted naturally sweet, like nectar.

    ¡°As they say, only those who are capable can get good stuff in life!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness erupted as a slight smile broke across his face.

    In Qin Feng¡¯s ¡°eyes¡±, his surroundings had started turning transparent and were going through energization.

    The way he looked at things changed the moment he gulped down the spring water.

    The ground surface appeared to be in apletely different state. Even the creatures that were burrowed underground had be visible.

    While the body of water was devoid of anything special, apart from the water flowing into the pool from above, there was another stream flowing into the pool underneath the water¡¯s surface. Following it upstream, this water flowed in a winding fashion and further away, there appeared to be water that dripped down from a source intermittently.

    Seeing through the granite, Qin Feng noticed glowing white balls that were of varying sizes.

    They shone brightly and warm energy constantly radiated from their cores. Some threads of energy seemed to have flowed into the aforementioned stream and hence, ended up in the pool of water.

    Qin Feng¡¯s previous guess was proven wrong. Before this, he thought that there were certain things underneath the pool but that obviously was wrong and instead, this ¡°thing¡± was located on the opposite side of the cliff, within arge cave opening.

    It was at least fifty meters away from this pool and would be impossible to find using even the most high-tech search instruments.

    Apart from that, there was no gunner or ability user in the Wilderness Rangers that had a consciousness strong enough to locate the source of this energy.

    Qin Feng had found this thing before anyone could!

    ¡°Bai Li! In this direction, there¡¯s a cavern! I need you to bring us there!¡±

    With Bai Li around, Qin Feng could appear almost anywhere. With the point of a finger, Bai Li could already feel what he was talking about and subsequently, shifted their position over to the specified cavern.

    Immediately after their teleportation, even the faint moonlight that was shining above the jungle was nowhere to be seen. They were in a pitch-ck underground structure and the sound of water flowing could be heard somewhere nearby.

    Qin Feng withdrew his consciousness.

    Even in such a ce, Qin Feng¡¯s surroundings were like from before, as clear as day.

    They were standing in the middle of what was once a gigantic underground river that had now dried up into a stream that did not even reach the width of a human palm.

    This however, was not the most eye-catching thing.

    This was also another ce, an equally gigantic cemetery.

    Of course, it was not a cemetery for humans but instead, a cemetery for fishes.

    As his surroundings entered into Qin Feng¡¯s view, he quickly analysed it with his consciousness.

    His pupils constricted. Withrge strides, he walked quickly over to the side of the cavern, paying no attention to the bumpy surface underneath his feet. There appeared to be arge crack on the rocky wall but it was not a result of some natural phenomenon.

    ¡°Bai Li,e take a look at this!¡±

    Bai Li skipped over, dodging the fishy fossils that stood in her way.

    ¡°Hubby, this is a spatial rift that appeared a long long time ago! Though, no worries, it¡¯ll close up soon!¡± Bai Li answered a question that was never asked.

    Qin Feng picked up a small shell off the ground and lo and behold, it was an ultra beast.

    ¡°Silver Pearl?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s eyes glimmered.

    It was an E-tier ultra beastmonly found inrge oceans but was harmless for the most part.

    Apart from its extremely hard outer shell, it did not and could not attack humans. What it could do however, was produce energy pearls and each one could be sold for up to 30,000 yuan.

    It was like picking money up from the curbside.

    At least, that was what Qin Feng thought when he picked up the ultra beast.

    The rift opened up within a mountain, letting loose countless marine creatures into this ce. As the water gradually dried up however, these creatures, having lost their means to survive, perished alongside the underground river.

    The details on how they came about were irrelevant to Qin Feng. The only thing in his mind right now was profit.

    Using his consciousness, Qin Feng levitated every item within the cavern that was radiating energy into the air.

    ¡°Rise!¡±

    In the blink of an eye, the air was filled with countless little things. A majority of them were white rock-like things which were presumably fossilized energy stones.

    However, they were surprisingly small, only around the size of a thumbnail. Such a naturally-uring energy stone did not contain a lot of energy but it could be sold for a lot more inparison to an energy crystal. At the very least, they were around 30,000 to 50,000 each.

    Roughly counting, there were at least thirty of them.

    Millions in profit!

    ¡°Rise once more!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness grabbed at whatever it could detect, it was like shooting fish in a barrel. It went to the point where he could no longer contain his excitement.

    There were some that had energy restraints in their transformation process into energy stones but they were good to Qin Feng nheless.

    ¡°What¡¯s this? A fish tooth? It¡¯s an E-tier material?¡±

    ¡°Woah, look at the size of this fish scale!¡±

    ¡°So many shells! It¡¯s such a shame that they¡¯re dead!¡±

    Qin Feng kept searching through the items.

    His loot littered the cavern floor and they were all pretty neat stuff.

    ¡°Hmm?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes stopped at a massive skeleton on the ground in front of him.

    It was glowing white amidst the darkness. The skeleton was distinct from other fossils in that it waspletely intact whereas the others had already powderised a long time ago. In fact, it was even exuding a strong aura.

    ¡°D-tier!¡± Qin Feng was able to make out its potential within a second.

    He checked his surroundings briefly. Underneath the fish skeleton, there were palm-sized scales all over the floor, some of which were in contact with the tiny stream. And around said area, the water contained so much energy that it was frightening.

 Chapter 210 - King Class D-tier

    <h4>Chapter 210: King ss D-tier</h4>

    Turns out, this was where the energy which fuelled the hollow bamboo shoots¡¯ growth originated from.

    Qin Feng picked the fish scale off the floor.

    The moment he made physical contact with the piece of scale, he could feel the overwhelming amount of energy that was contained within.

    ¡°King tier!¡±

    This must have been a massive beast king.

    Theoretically speaking, even if it were an aquatic creature, a beast king could survive for extended periods of time away from water. What was more, these granite walls should pose little to no resistance to its ability to pass through.

    However, Qin Feng soon found the reason for this beast king¡¯s demise. Backing away, he discovered that whatid in front of him was just the tail-end of the creature¡¯s entire body.

    The frontmost section of the skeleton appeared to have been crushed by something immensely powerful.

    ¡°It must¡¯ve been sliced in half by the spatial rift!¡± As if she could read Qin Feng¡¯s mind, Bai Li¡¯s suggestion mirrored what he deduced had happened to this unfortunate beast king.

    ¡°I understand now!¡±

    It was exactly like what had happened in the Zimu Mountains. A great number of zombies were unable to return to their realm as they too, were sliced in half at the waist as the spatial rift closed shut.

    Perhaps the beast king was slightly more intelligent. It must have sensed that something was wrong with the spatial rift and attempted to crawl back where it came from but that was precisely when disaster struck, leaving its severed tail here in this granite prison.

    And after eons hade to pass, it was Qin Feng¡¯s destiny to reap the precious resource, left behind at the beast king¡¯s expense!

    Qin Feng immediately ordered for Bai Li to tuck away the goods, freeing his hands so he could scan the cavern one more time. There seemed to be nothing else here that could top the value of his previous find.

    But that was enough! Qin Feng¡¯s thirst for profit had, for now, been satisfied.

    It was a great harvest today!

    At Qin Feng¡¯s current level, he would still have to practice extreme caution when facing off with an E-tier beast king.

    If his enemy was D-tier and above, a fight would bepletely out of the question.

    This was where the fish skeleton came into y. It was an integral part that would enable him to defeat much stronger opponents in the future.

    After leaving the cavern, Qin Feng peered downstream of the pool. There was a tiny stream around which nts grew thick and sulent, as if injected with tons of steroids. They were a stark contrast from the surrounding jungle nts, most of which had been harvested, presumably by the Wilderness Rangers.

    There did not seem to be a whole lot more for Qin Feng to scavenge, thus he brought Bai Li back to Yang Sanhu and his troop¡¯s campsite.

    ***

    On the second day, Qin Feng woke up in his usual manner, as if nothing had happened the night before. The Wilderness Rangers were of course,pletely oblivious to the fact that they had missed out on the chance to strike it rich.

    Qin Feng received an invitation to Yang Sanhu¡¯smand center. Not long after, they were already deep into a conversation in a hover tank that was moving swiftly across the jungle floor.

    ¡°Because you said you are going over to Sea City, I¡¯ve made some alterations to the direction which we¡¯re gonna travel in. It¡¯ll be easier for you to reach there!¡±

    Yang Sanhu produced a map from his pocket, on which there were some markings on certain points.

    ¡°On this point, nearest to us, I bumped into arge bush of man-eating vines but the ce seems to be chock-full of valuable resources. Though, because of the vine¡¯s existence, it has be something like a hunting park where humans are the prey. I¡¯ve even received reports of an F-tier yellow wasp king roaming around the area. If not for those darned man-eating vines, I would¡¯ve rushed toward that point!¡±

    It was not that Yang Sanhu did not try using glider wings or flying devices in an attempt to get past the predators. Sending a lone E-tier aptitude user to face an F-tier beast king was almost impossible to pull off sessfully, especially after considering the fact that these man-eating vines could throw their opponents off with psychedelic poisoning.

    He had no choice but to give up the fight.

    ¡°And here, I suspect that this mountain was teleported here from another ne through a spatial rift. It¡¯s very likely that you¡¯re gonna find rare metal deposits as part of its makeup. Unfortunately, there lives a group of other-worldly entities on this mountain, the rock-skinned people to be exact.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a herd of silver-horned buffaloes here. As you probably know, they¡¯re covered in ayer of precious gems, which could all be sold for 3 to 4 million on the market. However, I¡¯m scared of provoking them. My men and I would all surely be crushed if they start stampeding.¡±

    Yang Sanhu introduced the first three points, all of which covered rtivelyrge portions of the jungle.

    Danger lurked around every corner in the wilderness. Yang Sanhu might appear to be quite the joker the way he spoke, but every year, he would patrol around this jungle, on the lookout for any changes that might turn out to be an existential threat to Chengbei colony.

    Chengbei colony¡¯s location ovepped with Chengyang City¡¯s and could be considered as cannon fodder for the main city should all hell break loose.

    Hence, the danger they faced was greater than any ce else.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think these will all be a problem for me!¡±

    ¡°Very well! We¡¯ll head straight for the first one! My men will follow behind to clean up the battlefield!¡±

    ¡°Roger that!¡±

    It turned out to be a win-win situation for the both of them.

    ***

    Eight dayster, Qin Feng and the rest of their team were now deep in the wild hearnds.

    Where he stood, it was a great distance away from Chengbei colony. In fact, they would bump into a new micro-colony if they were to travel forward for three days¡¯ time.

    Of course, the micro-colony and its people were clueless that the silver-horned buffaloes were roaming so close to their settlement only three months ago.

    They would stay that way forever too!

    Under the setting sun, the sound of metal slicing through flesh echoed through the orange sky.

    Qin Feng was covered in blood from head to toe. The massive buffaloes already had him encircled and were currently charging toward him. However, no matter how many times they tried, they just could not get him pinned between their pointy horns.

    ¡°Disorienting steps!¡±

    Qin Feng dodged thebined attacks of the buffalo herd. The Verdant Emperor Saber he was clutching was continually waved around in the air.

    A de of me rose into the air and in the blink of an eye, yet another silver-horned buffalo fell to Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    Facing Qin Feng¡¯s relentless attacks, the buffalo herd was being whittled down fast.

    In order to avoid damaging the precious gems on their body, Qin Feng refrained from summoning the fire dragon to battle. Instead, the only thing that he was using during the fight was the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The star steel amalgamation paid off in this fight. It increased the sharpness of the saber¡¯s de quite significantly, allowing Qin Feng to slice through the E-tier ultra beasts effortlessly like a hot knife through butter.

    At this point, Qin Feng had already gone numb from all the killing. This feeling reminded him of the time before his rebirth. Heshed out ruthlessly in the middle of the herd, like an unsinkable boat, or an invincible piece of rock.

    As night fell, Qin Feng¡¯sbat power only grew stronger.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Lending the night sky¡¯s color, dark runes materialised around these silver-horned buffaloes, turning the entire battlefield into a ughterhouse.

    Thud!

    One of the bulls was decapitated in an instant. Its lumbering body jerked once before smashing into the ground dead.

    Qin Feng waved the Verdant Emperor Saber but instead of striking at his enemies, he sliced down through empty air.

    Around him, only the in carcasses of the buffaloes remained!

    Yang Sanhu emerged from the shadows.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, are you alright?¡± Yang Sanhu was well-known for being a meathead but seeing Qin Feng covered entirely in blood, he unexpectedly felt his knees buckle.

    Emerging fresh out from the massacre, Qin Feng was still emanating a murderous aura which would make even the manliest of all men feel fear.

    ¡°No problem. I¡¯m going to clean myself up. Send your men to clear this ce!¡±

    Qin Feng spoke while walking toward a nearby river.

    ¡°Hahh!¡±

    Manipting the cool river water, Qin Feng washed off the buffalo blood that had caked up all over his skin before slowly loosening up.

    With seven or eight days of continuous ughter, this was definitely the first time he had exerted so muchbat power after his rebirth.

    Though, this kind of fighting only served to increase Qin Feng¡¯s fleshly strength and nothing else.

    ¡®I still need quite a lot more strength. Thank God for Sea City¡¯s uing auction!¡¯

    Qin Feng thought to himself. His fighting spirit was burning stronger than ever.

    Tweaking his internal strength, the water that clung onto his body turned into steam and evaporated off. Then, Qin Feng made his way back to the Wilderness Rangers¡¯ temporary campsite.

    For fear of attracting other predators to their camp, these men quickly let the blood out of these buffaloes and carved them up in a timely fashion. It did not take them too long before the processing of these three hundred silver-horned buffaloes reached its end phase, which was dealt with by a beloved F-tier water attribute ability user.

    After a night of sorting, everything was divided up equally and Qin Feng was given eighty percent of his promised share. For the items that were toorge for him to carry alone, like buffalo meat, he had the rangers help ship them back to Fengli colony.

 Chapter 211 - Leaving for Sea City

    <h4>Chapter 211: Leaving for Sea City</h4>

    ¡°Mayor Qin, what a shame you have to go! Here¡¯s to hoping that we¡¯ll be able to go out like this sometime in the future!¡± Yang Sanhu was visibly reluctant to send Qin Feng off. After all, throughout the time Qin Feng worked alongside the Wilderness Rangers, they had surprisingly suffered zero casualties which was definitely a rare sight to behold.

    The hardest pill to swallow was the fact that virtually all kills were carried out by Qin Feng alone!

    While arge portion of the loot was reserved for Qin Feng, the Wilderness Rangers were still able to rake in 300 million in total, which was the same amount as what they had earned in their previous year. Though, after dividing the total sum up, the amount each ranger got was rather insignificant.

    Still, Qin Feng¡¯s performance on the field earned the respect of these Wilderness Rangers.

    ¡°I can guarantee that there will be more opportunities to join forces in the future. Are you really not going to attend the auction at Sea City?¡± Qin Feng asked the general.

    Yang Sanhu had amassed quite a number of precious items this time round. With capital in his hands, the general indeed wanted to attend the auction together with Qin Feng.

    After a second of hesitation, Yang Sanhu shook his head.

    ¡°Forget it. I still have a lot of mouths to feed. I¡¯ll have to pass this time!¡± Yang Sanhu replied with a disappointed look on his face.

    Qin Feng patted his shoulder but said nothing more.

    Some people might not even have stumbled upon such an opportunity even after working their butts off for their entire life.

    ¡°Alright. You don¡¯t need to send me off! See you around!¡±

    ¡°Yep! Careful of your surroundings!¡±

    Yang Sanhu stared nkly at Qin Feng¡¯s hover tank as it floated into the sky. Something was not right, it was as if he had missed out on something ¡°big¡±. Though, he had no exnation for why he felt that way. He could only shake his head helplessly and sigh at himself for making things up in his mind.

    His sixth sense was right though. He had indeed missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity but waspletely in the dark about it.

    Now, there was less than ten days¡¯ time before the end of the month approaches.

    Three dayster, there was nothing in Sea City that suggested that winter had arrived. Because of their close proximity to the sea, the winds that blew from offshore meant that the climate here was like spring all year round, something which was weed by many.

    Sunshine here shone brighter than anywhere else.

    The only downside was that there were always ultra beasts emerging from the depths of the ocean floor.

    Without a doubt, this was the most prosperous city among the threergest surviving cities.

    As Qin Feng¡¯s lengthened hover tank entered the main freeway, more and more hover tanks entered into view.

    Ordinary pedestrians would nce at the traffic from time to time but one could notice from their eyes that they had be long ustomed to such a sight!

    This was because the number of people entering the city had spiked significantly as ofte.

    People from the ¡°Big-three Cities¡±, the leaders of different colonies, as well as E-tier aptitude users, here to attend the auction added up to at least a hundred men.

    Naturally, such a sight would develop into an attention ma.

    Today was, in fact, the first day of the auction hosted by Wanzong Organization.

    This event was however, exclusively attended by G-tier and F-tier aptitude users. Qin Feng assigned Xue Xingfu the task of dealing withrge-scale deals, reflecting his trust in the man¡¯s ability when it came to business negotiations.

    Appearing in the most luxurious hotel lobby within Sea City was Qin Feng and Bai Li. Momentster, they had captured the attention of the honored guests gathered there for the day. A number of them had even started specting about who they were.

    Handsome, masculine and brimming with power.

    Such bedazzling eyes. They made one want to gaze into them forever but they also appeared slightly defensive.

    ¡°Sir, this is your room card. Do keep it safe with you. We have an all-day buffet you can enjoy free-of-charge, or if you¡¯d like, you can order anything on the menu which would be delivered straight to your doorstep. Your stay will bepletely paid for by the Wanzong Organization, including any additional entertainment services!¡±

    The girl working the front desk smiled sweetly at Qin Feng and ced the room card between a fancy greeting card. There was already a series ofmunicator numbers scribbled down on the back of this card for Qin Feng¡¯s use.

    ¡°Thank you!¡± Qin Feng said as he passed the card over to Bai Li for safekeeping.

    ¡°Hubby, I saw a beach back there! I can finally put to use my new swimsuit! Let¡¯s go sunbathing after this, okay?¡±

    Qin Feng smiled back at her. ¡°Sure thing! Change into your swimsuit before we do that!¡±

    Unbeknownst to Bai Li, there was a certain someone looking at her as she pranced around Qin Feng yfully. Looking at their backs as the couple walked up the stairs to their room, the front desk girl could not help but feel a little envious of Bai Li.

    Golden sand as fine as powder, paired with crystal-clear seawater.

    The beach was packed with pretty youngdies, all wearing showy bikinis which definitely made the already beautiful view, even more mesmerising.

    As soon as they entered their room, Bai Li changed into a snow-white bikini before Qin Feng could count to three.

    She was wearing the skimpy type of bikini that showed off her perfect, hourss figure. Her voluptuous chest was further given more emphasis by her microscopic top, enough to send blood gushing out of many young men¡¯s noses.

    As if that was not enchanting enough, she wrapped herself with a semi-transparent golden dress-like veil that shimmered under the sunlight.

    Shining a golden color under the sun, she appeared almost like an angel¡¯s halo on the beach.

    She was just so eye-catching!

    This magical-looking veil was, to the trained eye, obviously made out of a yellow queen ant¡¯s wings!

    If Zhou Hao were to know about this, he would undoubtedly start foaming at the mouth!

    That was after all, his lovely Xiao Huang¡¯s wings.

    Qin Feng did not spare Bai Li¡¯s veil too much attention. He had known her long enough that her actions did not surprise him. What caught his attention however, was how seductive she appeared in that outfit.

    He, on the other hand, was miles below what Bai Li looked like. Qin Feng threw on an inconspicuous pair of blue shorts, and after slipping on a pair of flip-flops, he headed out with Bai Li to the center of Sea City.

    It looked almost like the apocalypse was nonexistent. Everything seemed as peaceful as it gets.

    Lying there leisurely on the deck chair, Qin Feng blocked out the blinding sunlight with a pair of sunsses. The past few days of nonstop fighting which filled his bones with the stench of death had seemingly all been washed away by the blue skies and white clouds.

    ¡°Qin Feng? It really is you! Haha!¡± A voice came from nearby. Qin Feng instinctively looked over to find a familiar face staring back at him.

    He was Tan Yue of the Zhongcheng Organization.

    ¡°Tan Yue, so you¡¯vee today!¡± Qin Feng did not find his presence here surprising. For such a grand event, a number of otherrge organizations would also be participating too.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that you did well in Han Town. And you¡¯re an E-tier user now?¡±

    There was an inquisitive look in Tan Yue¡¯s eyes.

    After all, when they met a month ago, Qin Feng was just another uncertified F-tier user. It was unheard of for someone to grow so much within such a short timeframe.

    ¡°Yeah, themander of Fu City really saved my ass that time!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s great, isn¡¯t it?¡± Tan Yue chose his words carefully when speaking with Qin Feng. However, there was still a sense of admiration in his voice.

    Perhaps he detected a bit of boredom in Qin Feng who had been lying there quietly on his deck chair. ¡°Would you like me to get you some girls? If you¡¯d like, I can even find you a girl who¡¯s never been touched before! I have my connections here in Sea City after all!¡±

    ¡°What would he do with the girl?¡± A voice came asking from behind.

    Tan Yue turned around to see Bai Li¡¯s figure, almost blinded in the process by her shiny veil.

    Bai Li¡¯s face was unforgettable, even for those who had never seen her before. Tan Yue, of course, recognised her immediately. Seeing her extravagant swimsuit, he could not help but think that Qin Feng was spoiling his little girlfriend rotten.

    His mouth twitched awkwardly after being caught red-handed by Bai Li. Hurriedly, he waved his hand in the air. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, I swear it¡¯s nothing!¡±

    Bai Li red at Tan Yue. Damn, she would be the most enchanting girl in the world at times and some days, she would be sharper than a knife.

    ¡°Hubby, let¡¯s go y beach volleyball together!¡± Bai Li dragged Qin Feng away from Tan Yue as she pointed toward a group of people behind her.

    ¡°They invited us to a game.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face darkened after seeing who she was pointing to.

 Chapter 212 - Sea City Auction

    <h4>Chapter 212: Sea City Auction</h4>

    The three men looked almost in their twenties. All three of them had hazel-colored tanned skin and their muscles were well-proportioned, as if they had been working out to chisel out their bodies, and they were also extraordinarily handsome.

    Upon closer inspection, their eyebrows were arched and well-trimmed.

    It was true that Sea City was a city that was full of beautiful chicks, and there were also rich women amongst the female aptitude users.

    It was just unexpected that these men would try to hit on Bai Li, perhaps for her money.

    Qin Feng abruptly stood up at once and epted the invitation for the match, ¡°Fine, let¡¯s y then!¡±

    The men saw that Qin Feng was dressed in in, ordinary clothes, but themunicator he held in his hand looked expensive. On the contrary, Bai Li¡¯s dress was glimmering and shing with expensive taste, which shouted ¡®I¡¯m a rich chick!¡¯. The difference between the two was too immense.

    The three men stared at each other, all of them were thinking that Qin Feng was Bai Li¡¯s boy toy.

    The three immediately formed into a unified line, showing hostility toward Qin Feng.

    Naturally, Bai Li wanted to team up with Qin Feng, but Tan Yue, who was watching by the side, was also dragged into the match. This meant that the three hunks would form the other team.

    All of them looked very confident.

    ¡°Not too bad this way, that female aptitude user will soon witness our gant and impressive skills!¡±

    ¡°Try to spike more urately with more force, and try to aim at that pretty boy¡¯s face. His presence here is rubbing me the wrong way.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll surely give him a taste of my fiery spike right on the face!¡±

    The three hunks quietly nned their mischief. Little did they know that everything they said was all heard by Qin Feng.

    The volleyball was first passed to Bai Li to let her serve. She knew how to control her swing well, the ball was served and the match had started.

    One of the hunks on the opposite side of the court kneeled as he received the serve. He easily hit the ball and let it steadily rise upward.

    In the next moment, another handsome hunk was already leaping up high before the, and he spiked the ball with all his might. He was aiming toward the seemingly idling Qin Feng.

    The hunk on the other side of the court smiled as though he was watching a good show. It was as if he was already imagining the scene where Qin Feng¡¯s nose was bleeding from being hit by the volleyball.

    And even if Qin Feng tried to block the spike, the tremendous force would cause the volleyball to rebound and fly away, and then Qin Feng would have to pick up the ball from a distance.

    Bam!

    To their surprise, Qin Feng cupped both of his palms and gently dragged up both arms. The ball was well received and it flew straight up into the air.

    Qin Feng jumped up high and spiked the ball with a powerful swing.

    The volleyball flew over the and it was heading toward the hunk who spiked the ball before.

    That person did not even expect the ball to fly so fast, and it was already toote to block the spike!

    Bam!

    The sound the ball made when itnded on the hunk was a tad bit too loud. He was knocked backward by the force and his butt crashed onto the sand, the ball rebounded and shot up into the sky.

    The two other hunks had their sights locked onto the ball. One of them dashed for it and he hit the ball to bring it back into the court.

    The hunk who fell to the ground only felt a slight pain on his forehead. To his surprise, it was not much of a problem, so he joined the match again.

    The corners of Tan Yue¡¯s lips twitched. He could see that a visible bruise was starting to quickly form on the hunk¡¯s forehead.

    Bai Liughed as the ball was passed to their side.

    Bam!

    Qin Feng flicked his wrist as he went for a murderous spike. The boy toy on the opposite court received the spike and his arm was immediately swollen from the forceful impact.

    Bam!

    Qin Feng had his hands over the, ready to block the spike. The ball hit his arm and bounced back, hitting the boy toy right in the eye socket.

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    After ying for half an hour, the yers from the opposite side of the court were exhausted even though they had worked out and trained their stamina. On the contrary, Bai Li¡¯s team seemed to have not yed enough and wanted more.

    ¡°Alright, no more ying! You guys are impossible to beat!¡±

    The three of them understood the basics of volleyball matches. ¡°Volleyball scores aren¡¯t based on how chiselled your muscles are. Look, we actually scored more than you guys!¡±

    Bai Li sighed as she gave the three hunks a look of pity.

    Qin Feng let out a heartyugh. He took out a stack of cash as he walked over to them.

    ¡°Go see a doctorter! Or else, I¡¯m afraid all of you wouldn¡¯t be able to seduce any sugar mummies in the future!¡± said Qin Feng as he wrapped his arms around Bai Li¡¯s waist, and they walked away, Tan Yue almost criedughing as he watched this scene happen.

    This showed that Qin Feng was actually quite jealous!

    The three hunks had not understood what Qin Feng meant. They turned to each other and jumped in horror.

    ¡°Why is your face disfigured!¡±

    ¡°Are you talking about yourself? Your face looks miserable!¡±

    ¡°F*ck! We¡¯ve been yed!¡±

    ¡°Wait, how did that guy make money out of thin air? He didn¡¯t even put his hands inside his pockets!¡±

    ¡°No... it can¡¯t be! He was using a Spatial Rune Equipment!¡±

    All three of them swallowed hard on their saliva.

    In other words, that guy earlier was actually an aptitude user?

    At that moment, they suddenly felt a chill gliding down their backs, and they started to have cold sweat even though it was a hot summer day.

    They had miraculously escaped from death¡¯s grip. After all, Qin Feng was actually a courteous person, otherwise he would have gifted them each a taste of his sword.

    ***

    After dining on the delicacies while enjoying the picturesque scenery, Qin Feng brought Bai Li to visit all of the fun ces in Sea City. Whenpared to Fu City, this city was clearly more luxurious andfortable.

    Xue Xingfu and his people had arrived several days prior to join the auction. He had also sent a report to Qin Feng regarding their harvest.

    Xue Xingfu really was a capable merchant. After just a few days of rotation between buying and selling, they had sessfully acquired goods worth 1.5 billion with their original capital of just 1 billion in just the blink of an eye.

    Moreover, Xue Xingfu would think of suitable ways to sell off the goods to get the capital back.

    If it were not for the small market that posed as a restriction to him, Xingfu would have definitely gone on with an evenrger capital.

    On the third day of the officialunch of the auction by Wanzong Organization, the true highlight of the auction had finally begun!

    Qin Feng brought Bai Li along as they met up with Xue Xingfu, who had also brought someone else, Lin Wuyi, at the top floor parlor of Sea City¡¯s most luxurious hotel.

    That was right, this auction was held on the topmost floor of this hotel.

    That was because there were not many people attending this auction.

    At the front of the luxurious hall, a polite and well-mannereddy had a constant smile on her face as she weed the attendees that were moving about in front of her.

    There were old and young attendees, but without a doubt, they all sported a badge on their chests.

    E-tier!

    All of them were aptitude users.

    They were all either leaders ofrge colonies, or members of noble families within the city.

    The appearance of Qin Feng and his group immediately drew the attention of the crowd.

    After all, they were all youthful looking, not to mention Bai Li who was not only just young, but was also very powerful. Some of the people were already crowding around nearby to find out who Qin Feng was.

    Before Qin Feng could even stand still, he heard a familiar voiceing from the crowd, ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°General Han!¡±

    Qin Feng spotted Han Jian. This time, he was sent as a representative for Chengbei colony.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re here too!¡± Another familiar face appeared, this time it was Chi Long.

    Amongst the E-tier users, Qin Feng only knew these two people, but soon Han Jian introduced him to the senior visitors of Chengbei colony. Chi Long too introduced his side to Qin Feng and they greeted each other. They were saying things like, in facing battles in the future, at least they would not be strangers, and that it would be more convenient for them to form an allyship.

    Qin Feng chuckled after hearing those words around him.

    Battles? Allyship?

    He was afraid that after this very night, there would be nothing but hatred between them!

    At that moment, another group of people had appeared at the entrance.

    The group was dressed oddly, all of them were rather on the wild and rough side where the women were dressed in revealing, attention-grabbing outfits that roused the crowd¡¯s interest. Their bodies also exuded a venomous, viper-like aura.

    ¡°Look, members from the Dark Coalition!¡±

    ¡°They¡¯ve arrived!¡±

    All the people around them felt their bodies tense up.

 Chapter 213 - The Auction Begins

    <h4>Chapter 213: The Auction Begins</h4>

    Of the three cities¡ªChengyang City, Fu City, and Sea City¡ªthat existed, other than Chengyang City that was founded about two hundred years ago, the other two cities were rtively new.

    Therefore, these three cities were collectively known as the Three Cities Along the Sun.

    The areas of the three cities were not small, they were actually really huge and there were many small colonies, towns and viges all around them. Naturally, the wilderness was where the Dark Organization would reside.

    They were the cancer cells that would forever remain and could not be removed.

    Only at this time of the year would people be able to see them.

    Of course, at this moment, there was nothing they could do.

    There were more than thirty E-tier users from the Dark Organization that had arrived, and the meeting room was starting to fill up.

    When the main entrance was closed, the auction had finally begun.

    ¡°Wee to this auction held by the Wanzong Organization! Thank you all foring this time. Firstly, we¡¯ll start off the auction with the first item, the shell of an E3-tier Two-horned Turtle beast general, the starting bid will be 3 million! Each consecutive bid must not be less than 100,000!¡±

    The starting bid was merely just the price of a cabbage. Although everyone present at the auction was of E-tier, they were still far weaker than any E-tier beasts of the same level.

    Hence, they would not miss the opportunity to acquire fine beast materials like this.

    ¡°Four million!¡±

    ¡°Five million!¡±

    In the blink of an eye, the beast material was sold for 12 million, which was two million more than the current market price. Only then did the crowd start to calm down so they could make a more cautious move.

    ¡°12 million going once, 12 million going twice, 12 million going thrice! Sold! Congrattions Sir, this item is now yours!¡±

    ¡°Now, here¡¯s the second item!¡±

    Each time the items were brought out one after another, the crowd started to fight over it. There were aptitude cores, ability cores, divine treasures, spiritual herbs and pills. All of which made the crowd empty out their pockets.

    Qin Feng showed no signs of being wowed or moved. To him, these items werepletely useless.

    On the contrary, Han Jian and Chi long were both by his side, constantly cing their bids for almost every item they saw, only to end up with less ideal oues as they had not acquired any item that they wanted.

    The auction quickly proceeded to its climax.

    ¡°The following item is a product of supernatural creation!¡±

    These few words caught the sudden attention of the crowd.

    To understand this, any sort of thing imaginable could be found from the cracks found on spatial rifts. Sometimes, super advanced technological items could also be found from some of these cracks. Otherwise, weapons such as energy sters and exterminator sters would not exist.

    These supernatural creations were the fusion of supernatural abilities and science, yet they were more superior than supernatural abilities.

    This all made sense when the auctioneer disyed the next item.

    On the disy stand, the item appeared to be a silver magical cube.

    This silver magical cube was only the size of a fist and was not veryrge.

    ¡°This is a wonderous supernatural creation! Its power is astronomical, and I prefer to call it the Magical Tesseract!¡±

    The auctioneer then took out a G-tiernce and ced it on top of the stand. He clicked the center of the Tesseract.

    In the next moment, the Tesseract cracked open, emitting blinding lights and sucking thence in.

    ¡°This Magical Tesseract can be linked to the power of your consciousness. Once thence is inside, you can modify thence¡¯s structure at will, and you can even disassemble it and make changes to it in any way that you desire!¡±

    The auctioneer triggered his consciousness and clicked the cube. The cube converged into a ball of silvery light, when it reappeared, thence had been transformed into two daggers.

    ¡°Of course, this isn¡¯t its strongest ability. Its strongest ability is to increase its user¡¯s power. To further exin this, craftsmen are hard to find these days and a master craftsman¡¯s time is precious. Their customers usually have to wait for ten days, a month, or even three months to upgrade their equipment. Moreover, they can¡¯t strengthen theirbat powers right away once they¡¯ve received their precious equipment, which is a bummer! And with this item, all of your dreams wille true!¡±

    While talking, the auctioneer took out a piece of F-tier material.

    The Magical Tesseract projected a silvery glow and absorbed both the dagger and F-tier material. When the dagger reappeared, it had been upgraded into an F-tier rune equipment.

    The crowd mored in excitement.

    Their eyes began to sparkle with interest.

    The magical capabilities of the Tesseract had definitely drawn their attention, and they were all assessing how it would benefit them in the long run once they got their hands on it.

    With the Tesseract, it would be possible for them to create items in bulk, hence saving time and money. Besides, the item was also useful if they decide to specialize in selling rune equipment in the future.

    Having this Magical Tesseract was equivalent to having the abilities of a master craftsman specialized in making runic equipment!

    Many people began to get restless, they were itching to get their hands on the Tesseract.

    ¡°Lin Wuyi, I¡¯ll let you shout out the priceter!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s lips moved slightly and transmitted the message telepathically to Lin Wuyi through his internal force.

    ¡°Wait, what?¡± Lin Wuyi was unlike the other people that were eagerly staring at the item, he was directly promoted to E-tier and was unaware of the hardships of those who had struggled during their training. To them, any item that could be used to improve their powers were extremely rare and valuable.

    When Lin Wuyi saw the price of these items, it made his jaw drop, and he was tongue-tied.

    Qin Feng used his internal force to contain his words and transmitted them to Lin Wuyi¡¯s ears. Lin Wuyi nodded while listening to each word.

    The auctioneer was excited to sell off the item as he prepared for the bid. People below the stage were rubbing their fists as they wished to own this treasure.

    Soon, these people were interrupted.

    It was Lin Wuyi.

    ¡°Hold on for just a moment. This item is indeed magical, and I¡¯m afraid its price might be over the roof! Each time I bid for something I will always ask for more rification about the item. So, I would like to know, since there is an apparent difference in quality between thence and the two daggers, does that mean the Tesseract will consume some of the user¡¯s energy during the transformation?¡±

    Moreover, the consumption was not small.

    The auctioneer¡¯s eyebrows were knitted, but he quickly regained his calmposure. ¡°Yes, there will be an energy consumption, but the items I transformed were ordinary beast materials, so it¡¯s normal if the consumption is heavy!¡±

    Lin Wuyi nodded and replied, ¡°So it makes sense, but I still have a question. Could you pass the dagger to me and let me perform some inspection?¡±

    The auctioneer¡¯s expression changed this time.

    He hesitated for a moment which made the crowd below feel uneasy. They were growing more and more suspicious.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, is there some w that you¡¯re not willing to show us?¡± Lin Wuyi continued.

    The auctioneer took a deep breath before he replied, ¡°Not really, rather, this is considered a plus point for the Tesseract. The Tesseract can produce rune equipment which automatically engraves a conscious bond, or better known as the spirit bond! This makes the rune equipment better suited to the user.¡±

    This feature was indeed very good, but the people who were ready to empty out their pockets for the Tesseract were immediately taken aback.

    This item was not of their interest.

    After buying it, they wanted to make themselves a master craftsman, but using the Tesseract would imprint a consciousness bond.

    Not only that, there was an even bigger downside when you think about it.

    For example, if the Tesseract were used to split items, would it not be impossible to sell off the split items?

    Another thing was that some weapons might be useful in certain situations, but if the user wanted to change his battle tactics, he would require a different kind of weapon. Hence, he would have to use a lot of money to create a new weapon, and the old weapon could not be sold to other people, which means that the user would be trapped with no other choice.

 Chapter 214 - The Spatial Passage Ticket

    <h4>Chapter 214: The Spatial Passage Ticket</h4>

    E-tier purple rune equipment was easily priced around 20 to 30 million yuan. For E-tier aptitude users, they would require a lot of time and effort to save up this much money.

    Thus, the crowd¡¯s enthusiasm started to die down once they got to know the price of the supernatural equipment.

    ¡°Hmm, that really is a plus point! Alright, I¡¯ve no more questions then!¡± Lin Wuyi casually sat down, he pretended to look as if he really was curious about the Magical Tesseract.

    At this moment, the enthusiasm of the other bidders had died down.

    The auctioneer sighed quietly when he saw the apathetic crowd, thinking that he had just lost his srymission!

    But they knew the shorings of this Magical Tesseract, and they were already prepared for it if it could not be sold at a high price.

    ¡°The bid for the Magical Tesseract will now begin, the starting bid is 100 million, each consecutive bid must not be less than 1 million. Let¡¯s begin!¡±

    The crowd was silent for almost three seconds before someone finally held up a bidding sign.

    ¡°Just think of it as a way to save on the production costster on!¡±

    ¡°Alright, this mister has bid 101 million for the item!¡±

    Amidst the crowd, some people began to raise up their bidding signs, until the price had gone up to 112 million.

    ¡°112 million going once...¡±

    At this moment, Qin Feng finally made his move.

    ¡°120 million!¡±

    The price was suddenly raised by eight million, which clearly showed Qin Feng¡¯s eagerness to get his hands on the item.

    The man paused for a moment before he spoke again.

    ¡°121 million!¡±

    ¡°130 million!¡±

    ¡°131 million! If you bid again, I don¡¯t want the item anymore!¡± The man finally said.

    He was also afraid that Qin Feng was either a fake bidder or the original seller of the item. After all, Qin Feng was quite young.

    It was not like an E-tier aptitude user could immediately be rich once they had reached E-tier.

    ¡°132 million!¡± Qin Feng smirked at him.

    The man red at Qin Feng, but he could not take back what he had just said, so he had to give up bidding.

    The auctioneer immediately announced.

    ¡°132 million going once, 132 million going twice, 132 million going thrice, sold!¡±

    Although the final price was not that high, the item was still sold in the end. The auctioneer felt as though a giant boulder had been lifted up from his back, his eyes twinkled and he smiled as he went on with the next auction.

    Little did he know that in some other timeline, the same Magical Tesseract was sold at a jaw-dropping price of 2 billion.

    It was only because of Qin Feng¡¯s intervention that the Magical Tesseract had finally fallen into his own hands.

    ¡°I do feel slightly apologetic to Kong Bo, maybe next time when we get to meet, I¡¯ll let him use the Tesseract for a bit!¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    Kong Bo was the ancient warrior that had unfolded the many uses of the Magical Tesseract in his past life.

    The martial arts style that he used was of dark weaponry, but he could not use the Tesseract in any way that he desired. It was even afraid to fight against ability users.

    Due to ability users having control over their consciousness, they could change the path of dark weapons at any time.

    As a result, when he had heard about this Magical Tesseract, he immediately bought It from the buyer who had spent 2 billion on the item from the auction. That marked the start of his journey in bing the famous Thousand Flying Dagger Machine.

    In the present, Kong Bo was an A-tier ancient warrior.

    Qin Feng bought the Tesseract this time around, but he was not going to resell it.

    For other people, reselling it would leave them with a small amount of production fee. But to Qin Feng who would reach A-tier in the future, that would cost him a lot of money and a whole lot of trouble.

    The auction continued on, with the appearance of the Magical Tesseract, more items followed after.

    The E-tier beast king materials began to make their appearance.

    Qin Feng began to show off his astounding wealth.

    ¡°E5-tier beast king ming Lion Horn, the price will start at 80 million!¡±

    The crowd under the stage began raising up their bidding signs.

    ¡°230 million going once, 230 million going twice, 230 million going thrice! Sold! Congrattions Mr Qin, this beast king material belongs to you!¡±

    ¡°The following item is the crystal core of a giant mammoth... 680 million thrice, congrattions Mr Qin!¡±

    ¡°... 520 million thrice, congrattions Mr Qin!¡±

    ¡°... Congrattions Mr Qin!¡±

    Qin Feng made a series of moves and got a hold on most of the beast king materials.

    He hadpletely finished spending every single penny of the original six billion yuan that he had brought to this event!

    Moreover, he was paying on the spot for the items, which proved that his wealth was not just an act.

    He did not fight for the excellent-grade materials, otherwise he might have implicitly offended most of the crowd.

    Despite this, some of them had their gazes fixed on Qin Feng.

    These people, without a doubt, were all from the Dark Organization.

    Part of the reason they attended the event was to participate in the auction, and the other part of it was to find out the cash cows amongst the attendees.

    Qin Feng was clearly the big fat cash cow they were looking for.

    ¡°So young, yet so rich! He really is tempting!¡±

    ¡°ughtering him might be one of our biggest harvests!¡±

    ¡°His date is an eye-candy too, with such an enticing body! I wonder if she¡¯s stronger than she looks.¡±

    The members of the Dark Organization were secretly discussing their ns. The auctioneer on the stage used his voice to rouse and draw the attention of the crowd toward him again.

    ¡°The following item will be thest item for today¡¯s auction!¡±

    Then, he took out a silver stone disc.

    Everyone¡¯s attention was immediately focused on the disc. Even Bai Li, who was not bothered about the entire event, had her gaze set on the stone disc.

    There were silver runes that were visible to the naked eye floating above the stone disc, they were spatial runes.

    But this certainly was not a spatial runic equipment, otherwise this auction would be considered too extravagant!

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid many of you have already guessed what this item is. That¡¯s right, this thing is a stable spatial passage. There¡¯re various waymarks sealed within this stone disc which are connected to the space that is rich in resources and energy, but to enter therein, you have to be at least E-tier!¡±

    ¡°We will show you the recorded footage in just a minute!¡±

    A video taken by an unmanned aerial drone was yed on the big screen in front. The crowd could instantly see that it was flying past a piece ofnd with lush greeneries which resembled a forest.

    After the drone had flown for about ten minutes, they could now see a coastline. As the drone levitated higher, the waymark of the spatial passage could be seen, it was actually an ind.

    On the ind, there were many exotic beasts, some of which were strange birds, primitive dinosaurs and others.

    In such an isted ind, once the exotic beasts were exterminated and nts were artificially transnted on the clearednd, it would be a secret space even more advanced than the Spring Hunting Ground.

    The audience was marvelled and their breaths quickened.

    What was more, this ind looked like it had quite a bunch of spirit herbs that were worth absolutely extraordinary in value.

    ¡°This time, we¡¯ll be auctioning off ten entry tickets to this spatial passage, and these tickets are spatial runic equipment with a waymark that allows the user to return to Sea City. We will be auctioning ten of these tickets, and the price of the second ticket will start off at the price the first ticket was sold at. Now, for the first ticket, we will start at 10 million!¡±

    The crowd immediately went wild when they heard this.

    An opportunity like this was way too hard toe by!

    All of them tried to fight for it in hopes of getting themselves a chance.

    In just the blink of an eye, the price of the first ticket had skyrocketed to 80 million.

    In the end, the bid for this ticket stopped at 100 million as the crowd was unsure if they could earn this amount of money back. But of course, if a lot of them had the Sea City waymark, it was for them to decide the time they wanted to return, and some of them were even nning to reside on the ind.

    Qin Feng was the only person that remained calm, and he was silently observing the crowd¡¯s excitement over the tickets.

    The second ticket was sold for 120 million.

    As time went by, the third ticket, the fourth ticket... And in the end, all of the tickets were sold out.

 Chapter 215 - Magical Tesseract Overall Upgrade

    <h4>Chapter 215: Magical Tesseract Overall Upgrade</h4>

    Qin Feng had not made a single move since the beginning when the tickets were auctioned off.

    ¡°You don¡¯t look like you care much, aren¡¯t you interested at all? Who knows, there¡¯s no telling what kind of chance this ind will provide us!¡± Chi Long gave the crowd an envied look, he did not have the wealth topete with those big shots.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the best has yet toe!¡± Qin Feng smiled imperiously.

    His gaze fell upon the group of people from the Dark Organization that was keeping a low profile.

    These people were exchanging nces with one another, their eyes were filled with mischief.

    Without a doubt, these people were up to no good.

    Chi Long seemed to have noticed it as well, and he could not help but furrowed his eyebrows. ¡°With Wanzong¡¯s strength, these people are no match!¡±

    Qin Feng, however, did not care much.

    These people would not belong to a Dark Organization if they were afraid of stirring up trouble.

    Moreover, based on Qin Feng¡¯s experience before his rebirth, it told him that something was bound to happen on this day.

    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing to worry about, we should stay for one more night before our departure!¡±

    Chi Long and Han Jian hesitated when they heard those words.

    Han Jian did not leave empty-handed this time. As he had a lot of cash with him, he thought it would be safer to return to his ce as soon as possible so that there would be less trouble.

    Besides, some of the items were bought for other people from his colony.

    After he had seen Qin Feng¡¯s calm andposed demeanour, he suddenly felt a sense of trust toward him.

    ¡®Since Qin Feng hase this far, he must have met quite a lot of people that¡¯ve aided him in his journey. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have gained so much power and strength at such a young age, or at the very least, he must be quite a lucky person!¡¯

    Han Jian was also one of the people that had witnessed Qin Feng¡¯s growth, at this point he had decided to stay for the night.

    At that time, the auction had sessfully wrapped up for the day. All of the guests had left, some of which left Sea City right away, some stayed behind, and some of them had disappeared without leaving a trace.

    Qin Feng went back to his room to rest, and he had instructed Lin Wuyi to keep an eye out at all times, perhaps there might be some movements during the night.

    As for Han Jian and Chi Long, Qin Feng did not mention anything to them.

    After all, he could not tell if these two would be his enemies once they had entered the secret realm.

    ¡°These energy cores are for you!¡± Qin Feng gave the energy cores that he had acquired to Bai Li. ¡°Now that you¡¯ve reached E-tier, advancing to the next tier will be much more difficult, so these cores might not be enough. But beast kings are very strong, yet rare, so they¡¯re not that easy to kill. We¡¯ll see what else we can get this time!¡±

    Bai Li nodded. ¡°If I get to advance to the next tier, which is the D-tier that you guys have mentioned before, I¡¯ll probably be a beast emperor!¡±

    A beast emperor!

    Hearing these two words, Qin Feng felt a sudden jolt in his heart. He did not expect Bai Li to be this powerful and strong.

    But the tougher the better, after all, Xiao Bai was Qin Feng¡¯s right-hand woman.

    ¡°Alright, then, how many energy cores do you think you would require?¡±

    ¡°Maybe ten times more of what you¡¯ve given me,¡± Bai Li replied.

    Qin Feng was at a loss for words, it seemed that his ie rate was not enough to feed Xiao Bai.

    ¡°How about we take it one step at a time, we might find moreter!¡±

    Bai Li nodded in contentment, for the time being, this was enough for her.

    After chatting with Bai Li, Qin Feng took out all of the materials acquired from the auction, including the Magical Tesseract.

    ¡°Quick, let¡¯s have a look!¡±

    Fact was, the Magical Tesseract had another weakness. If the user wanted to upgrade items, they could only do it tier by tier, not taking a big leap in tiers. If they did, the runic equipment might get destroyed in the process.

    But this weakness did not have much impact on the value of the item itself, that was why Qin Feng did not let Lin Wuyi talk about it during the auction before.

    Now, Qin Feng had total understanding toward this item, which saved him a whole lot of trouble to figure out.

    Since this was his first time using it, Qin Feng took out an equipment to try it out, but it was not his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    It was the F5 Scarlet Fire w!

    This was the ability rune equipment that Deng Nian had once given to him.

    ¡°Try it out with this!¡±

    Qin Feng ced the Scarlet Fire w on the table, allowing the Magical Tesseract to merge with it. Qin Feng too, incorporated his consciousness into the Tesseract.

    The insides of the Scarlet Fire w were now fully visible to him, presenting him with numerous energy nodes that surrounded the energy core of the w, allowing him to release some of the powers contained inside.

    However, Qin Feng thought that the other parts of the w were distinctly rougher in quality.

    Of course, this did not affect the power of the Scarlet Fire w.

    Qin Feng took out a beast-general-tier me material which he did not acquire from the auction. He got this material from Professor Wang¡¯s spatial runic equipment during his adventure at the Z Organization¡¯sb in Fu City.

    ¡°My main defense doesn¡¯t rely on any runic equipment, so there¡¯s no point in making it this big!¡±

    ¡°I want it to be more active!¡±

    ¡°I want the runes to be stronger and more powerful!¡±

    By manipting it with the power of his consciousness, the w¡¯s materials were swapped, and the excess materials had disappeared after being swallowed by the Tesseract.

    New materials filled in the empty spaces of the w. And in just moments, the Scarlet Fire w had be an E5-tier equipment. Of course, there were no markings or indications on the w, after all, the E5 indication was engraved by the equipment manufacturer.

    Afterwards, Qin Feng added in other me materials that he had acquired from the auction, such as the horn of the me Lion King and a fire energy crystal core.

    As the item was directly altered by the Magical Tesseract, the ability rune equipment did not emit a purple halo, but there was no doubt that it was already a beast-king-tier silver rune equipment!

    The Magical Tesseract spat out the upgraded Scarlet Fire w.

    With this w, his abilities would also be greatly enhanced.

    Then, Qin Feng also altered hisbat suit. This was the reason why he had acquired so many beast king materials from the auction earlier.

    It was an overall upgrade!

    In the end, he finally altered the equipment which he had since the very beginning, the Verdant Emperor Saber!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber merged with the Tesseract, and under the control of his consciousness, different colours settled on the de, which was dazzling to the eyes.

    The next material was star steel.

    Star steel would forever be a material that would never let him down.

    Of course, some of the materials of the saber were of dark nature, namely the material acquired from the defeated Giant Rat King. It was one of the materials used to create the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    In just the blink of an eye, the Verdant Emperor Saber had be an E-tier rune equipment. Moreover, the absence of silver light made the saber even more unique and mystical.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see if the Verdant Emperor Saber can take it one step further!¡±

    Qin Feng added in the bones and scales of the giant fish that he had found in the cave ten days ago.

    It was worth noting that the giant beast was a D-tier beast king.

    Even if the Magical Tesseract could remove the chaffs within the material, these materials were very huge in size. After incorporating them, it would greatly increase the size of the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The saber was rapidly growing in mass.

    The entire Verdant Emperor Saber had grown into almost two-third of Qin Feng¡¯s size, which was roughly 165 cm long. It had a 25 cm handle and a 140 cm de, the widest section of the de was 22 cm, which was slightly tapered downward with a thickness of 1.5 cm.

    By just looking at it, one could tell the heaviness of the de.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was still ink-blue, and the de part was all ck. Some fish-scale patterns had appeared on the surface of the de.

    Qin Feng was already very satisfied with its oue!

    As Qin Feng gave his consciousness a slight push, the Verdant Emperor Saber emerged with a silver light emanating from the Magical Tesseract.

 Chapter 216 - Chaos Breaks Out

    <h4>Chapter 216: Chaos Breaks Out</h4>

    Qin Feng reached out and grasped the handle of the Verdant Emperor Saber. The first thing that was quite evident to him was its hefty weight!

    The de was extremely heavy.

    Of course, Qin Feng preferred this weight in his hands.

    With his current physical strength, wielding a light sword was no different from wielding a feather.

    Of course, with the high-grade materials, the sequence they were added into the Tesseract would make the equipment unusable by people with low strength, as wielding such equipment would exhaust a lot of strength

    This was also a benefit of the Magical Tesseract, but for most people, it was already difficult enough to find a few exotic beast materials of the same tier, let alone high-grade materials.

    However, it was not a problem for Qin Feng at all.

    His internal strength was several times more than that of an average person.

    And he had amazingbat power and strength.

    He also had a powerful conscious energy. Through the spirit bond, this saber would be part of his body, allowing him to use it like his arm.

    And that was the power of spirit bonds.

    Qin Feng was very happy.

    As he had been using his consciousness to enhance his rune equipment, time had passed by unnoticed. Qin Feng looked at hismunicator and saw that it was already 12am.

    Bai Li had her head buried deep in herforter. She was sleeping sweetly with her mouth agape.

    Qin Feng lifted up theforter and leaned over to give Bai Li a kiss on the lips, his lips curled into a smile.

    And at this moment, he felt an ancient warrior¡¯s auraing from the basement below. The intimidating pressure of an E-tier aptitude user swept through the entire hotel.

    Whoosh...

    The long whistle of a shot cannonball pierced through the air.

    Without even a second thought given, Qin Feng carried Bai Li and jumped out of the window.

    Boom!

    The cannonball exploded upon impact when it hit the entrance of the building.

    In the next moment, the entire building shook and came crumbling down.

    Debris, smoke, and wails filled the night, turning the ce into a living hell.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Bai Li instantly woke up and wrapped her arms around Qin Feng, she looked around for clues.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness brought his body into action. After he had jumped out of the hotel, hended on top of another building.

    At that moment, many people were rushing out of the hotel, and aptitude users leaped and climbed onto the walls.

    They were afraid the building was going to copse on them, and these E-tier aptitude users would not risk dying like this!

    ¡°Xiao Bai, get dressed!¡±

    ¡°Oh, oh!¡±

    For convenience sake, Bai Li had on her swimsuit paired with the wings of the Golden Ant Queen. Qin Feng had no choice but to drape theforter in his hands over Bai Li¡¯s body to avoid having her greatest assets being seen by others.

    Soon, Lin Wuyi came out of the hotel with his floral shorts. He jumped onto a building and scanned around with his consciousness, he then found Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Chi Long and Han Jian had also left the hotel. Although they were both ancient warriors, they were not as skilled as Qin Feng and Lin Wuyi, but they could still climb on the walls.

    Qin Feng infused his sound into his internal energy, which allowed the two men to hear him, and they climbed up the building.

    The once luxurious hotel had turned into battle ruins in just seconds. The silhouettes of the people within the building were faintly visible, they had no idea how the fights were going on inside.

    It was obvious that Chi Long and Han Jian had not slept yet, they were still inbat clothing and their bodies were strapped with all of their rune equipment. They were shocked when they saw that fights were going on inside the building.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you were right!¡± Chi Long said.

    ¡°What¡¯re we going to do now? Are we going to join the fight too?¡±

    ¡°Of course not!¡±

    The current situation was very chaotic, and it was not wise to join in now. They decided to wait it out and join in once things had died down, so all they had to do was just quietly wait.

    What was more, Qin Feng knew the fate of these people.

    Since all ten tickets were sold, the spatial waymarks were yet taken by the buyers. They were all locked up inside the hotel¡¯s treasure vault which possessed an extremely high level of security and defense, but it was still quickly breached.

    In the dark, the members of the Dark Organization had made their move, and the people defending the vault were unable to resist their attacks. Since everything was quite hectic and they were all in a confused state, everything was in a disarray. In the end, the members of the Dark Organization had broken into the secret security vault.

    ¡°You¡¯ve all underestimated the power of the Wanzong Organization!¡± A roar was heard, and it was from a tall figure. He surged through the crowd menacingly.

    Qin Feng and the rest were standing on the roof, waiting. They were also startled when they saw that person.

    ¡°That¡¯s Tyrant! He¡¯s the head of the three cities, and an E7-tier ancient warrior!¡± Han Jian had participated in Wanzong¡¯s auction annually, so it was natural for him to recognize some of the upper ranks of the Wanzong Organization.

    Then, a delicateughter came from dark.

    ¡°Mr Ty, is that really necessary? Now that the spatial waymarks are just in consignment here, they are not something that belongs to your auction house. So why do you even bother to guard them so strictly, what good can it bring you? How about you let me get what I want, and I will also let you get what you want?¡±

    There was a hint of seduction from the voice, but no one dared to take that woman lightly.

    ¡°Stay alert, that is the She-Wolf. She¡¯s good at assassination and poisoning, many people have died in her hands. She must know her poisons well!¡± Chi Long said. She-Wolf usually operated around Fu City, hence he was familiar with her.

    ¡°Poison?¡± Lin Wuyi was slightly interested and watched on.

    The battlefield had slowly broken up since its initial disarray. Three or five of the Dark Organization members had surrounded Tyrant, and the others were trying to surround the guards as they broke into the secret security vault. Unfortunately, the spatial waymarks were nowhere to be found.

    ¡°The items have been moved, go after them!¡±

    ¡°Scan for spatial traces!¡±

    ¡°Over there!¡±

    Since things like spatial waymarks carried spatial runes, they would sh with other rune equipment, making it almost impossible to merge with the rest of the items.

    This also resulted in them being easily found due to the spatial fluctuation.

    Some hover cars in particr had this function.

    ¡°Go after it!¡±

    After Qin Feng had seen the members of the Dark Organization boarding their hover cars to pursue them like madmen, Qin Feng took the others downstairs. Then, he took out a luxurious, extended hover car which allowed the five of them to fit inside.

    He was thankful to Chi Long, or else his hover car would not be this spacious.

    ¡°They are chasing after that craft!¡± Chi Long observed through the hover car¡¯s surveince equipment, and he locked onto the vehicle.

    The Dark Organization was in pursuit of the transporting vehicle. A gunner was standing on the roof of the hover car as he mounted on a weapon.

    Whoosh!

    The sound of gunfire pierced through the air once again.

    Only this time, the other hover car from afar was not going to idle around and get hit by the projectile.

    ¡°Repel!¡±

    In the next second, the cannonball that was shot out was intercepted in mid-air by another gunner.

    The gunners activated their consciousness andpeted against one another. In the end, the cannonball exploded in the air.

    This caused the other vehicles that were pursuing from behind to be drowned in the projectile¡¯s fire and debris.

    However, these obviously would not stop them from continuing their pursuit. Instead, it fired them up and the battle became increasingly fierce, shattering the silence of the night throughout Sea City.

    The hover cars raced up and down the streets, which alerted everyone that something serious was happening!

    A few hover cars came forward to aid the transporting vehicle, but they were all quickly taken care of by the Dark Organization. There were even quite a few hover cars that were simr to Qin Feng¡¯s, all of whom had not gotten the tickets and wanted toe over for a piece of the action.

    The excitement seemed to be bubbling up!

    ¡°Beep beep beep, stop them all!¡±

    The patrol generals of Sea City were enraged and went on the move. There were actually people fighting in the city, which was disrespectful toward Sea City!

 Chapter 217 - A Scramble for the Waymarks

    <h4>Chapter 217: A Scramble for the Waymarks</h4>

    By this time, the hover car¡¯s violent charge forward had already broken through the boundaries of Sea City¡¯s outer wall.

    The first car¡¯s driver who frantically tried to escape found himself facing a storm-like assault. Due to the condition of the road, many of the hover cars found themselves unable to scatter and as a result they were all speeding up and rushing toward him.

    Sea City¡¯s people had never seen so many high-end hover tanks and cars rushing forward like that at extreme speeds, chasing after one another and ramming into each other.

    Those who were to lose their hover cars would be the equivalent of losing in this tussle.

    Boom!

    Honk honk honk!

    Swoosh!

    Shells were thrown and in the blink of an eye, three hover cars were eliminated.

    Even for Han Jian and Chi Long, this kind of battle gave them a sense of fear. It looked like the situation had affected them as well.

    However, the ones who could not stand this the most were not them!

    The hover car that was giving off waves of spatial fluctuation was given hot pursuit, the powerful gunner could not bear to be besieged by everyone¡¯s assault and overclocked his consciousness.

    In the next moment, several shells crashed onto the car.

    Boom!

    The hover car¡¯s protective shield was raised in an effort to defend itself but it was shattered in the blink of an eye. The artillery fire was overwhelming and forced the one in the car to eject himself. However, he was still totally surrounded.

    ¡°Since you want it so much, go get it yourself!¡± The person suddenly threw the spatial waymark stone disc into the air.

    Those people who got off their hover cars rushed toward the disc and started fighting over it.

    Then, a huge burst of internal force instantly destroyed the disc.

    Bang!

    The stone te shattered and scattered silver runes all around in a sh. The space where it broke trembled violently before a swirling vortex was formed that became gradually bigger and bigger as it twisted into a dark spatial passage that was ten meters in diameter.

    ¡°Beep beep!¡±

    Everyone¡¯smunicators began to vibrate wildly.

    A huge spatial passage had appeared. The surrounding people did not give it much thought and jumped right into the passage!

    Qin Feng did not bother getting down from his car, putting the pedal to the metal, he swiftly charged straight into the rift.

    ¡°That¡¯s it? We¡¯re in?¡± Han Jian did not expect things to go that smoothly.

    Qin Feng did not respond. It was very suspicious indeed that everything had gone smoothly.

    In fact, he believed that there was a conspiracy behind it all! A conspiracy that had not begun yet.

    He did not have anything to say either. All that mattered was the ind, and it was indeed a very good ind.

    ¡°Getting in is easy, but going out is going to be difficult. Have you thought about how we¡¯re going to get out if we don¡¯t have Sea City¡¯s waymark?¡± Qin Feng muttered.

    Han Jian and Chi Long¡¯s expressions fell and they both looked behind them.

    With Qin Feng taking the lead, several other hover cars followed behind them with moreing over from the other side.

    ¡°The spatial rift shouldst for a while, right?¡± Han Jian said nervously.

    As soon as the sentence ended, the spatial rift began to shrink and quickly blink out of existence.

    All the aptitude users that made it through the rift widened their eyes. For a moment, they felt very lost but very quickly they narrowed their vision onto a few particr people.

    There was no doubt that these people had spatial waymarks with them. The people who spent one billion to buy their return tickets.

    ¡°Everyone, we¡¯ve alle to this ind together to look for treasures, not seek a way back, isn¡¯t that right? Now that nobody currently has anything, in order for there to not be conflict, why don¡¯t we agree to share the waymark runes with everyone?¡±

    Those who were able to reach this point were no fools, after realizing that they were in danger, they did not hesitate to say that they would share their runes.

    ¡°Yeah! If everyone has runes then going back would not be a problem!¡±

    ¡°This ind is dangerous! We won¡¯t know what¡¯s going to happen and we don¡¯t want any infighting!¡±

    United under this voice, everyone agreed to not do anything brash. After all, so long as they could find spatial materials, they could make a waymark and return.

    Just how rare were spatial materials though? If there were none, they would have to dismantle their spatial runic equipment for some!

    While nobody had done anything yet, that thought soured some people¡¯s expressions. However, this was not the time to tear into one another. People followed the suggestion and quickly memorized the spatial runes that could be made into waymarks. Those people that did not have as good of a memory simply recorded them down with theirmunicators.

    The people who originally had their return tickets breathed a sigh of relief and silently thanked the person who made the suggestion to share.

    After recording what they needed, some people began to split off from the group. People of the respective cities formed teams with one another. Chi Long decided to turn down the people from Fu City, and he joined up with Qin Feng.

    He knew that Qin Feng was tough after all.

    Qin Feng surveyed their surrounding environment and realized that they had appeared near the edge of a sandy beach. His face hardened.

    ¡°We¡¯ll go this way,¡± Qin Feng said quietly. Han Jian was a little confused. ¡°It looks pretty safe. Why don¡¯t we set up camp for the night and set out at dawn? Otherwise, who knows what kind of danger we would encounter?¡±

    Qin Feng gave a firm shake of his head. ¡°Trust me. Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Han Jian could only nod and follow the rest deeper into the ind. They could rest in the jungleter.

    He did not have much experience inbat, but he was not too tired. Then again, fighting in the dark would have a chance of him missing his shots, wasting his babies. That was why he wanted to wait until daytime.

    ***

    Four o¡¯clock in the morning and the sky was just starting to turn bright, a cry pierced the air, startling the E-tier aptitude users wide-awake.

    Qin Feng flipped himself up, everyone was also starting to rise from their sleeping bags.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Han Jian wondered out loud.

    Chi Long moved quickly, hopping up a nearby tree with a sniper rifle in hand, and he used the scope to peer into the distance.

    He soon saw a sight that sent chills down his spine. Coming onto shore were a pack of vicious looking sea beasts!

    These ultra beasts resembled crocodiles, but they were about five meters long. Each of them were gargantuan in size and were rolling around on the sand, stirring up a whole load of noise, like they were having fun in a yground.

    Those E-tier aptitude users were no more than just mice invading their home, or they were free breakfast that had suddenly appeared.

    The pack of vicious ultra beasts began to rush in their direction!

    ¡°Drakocrocs!¡± Chi Long quickly rolled down with a tremble in his voice.

    Any ultra beast that bore the moniker simr to drake or dragon were not to be trifled with.

    ¡°Drakocrocs? Aren¡¯t they born as beast soldiers that grow up to be E-tier pack-hunter ultra beasts?¡± Lin Wuyi had been out of touch with the outside world for five years, but there were things he would never forget from his secondary school education. He was terrified when he heard the news.

    He had the strength that was the equivalent of a beast general, but even against this pack he would surely lose his life.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes glinted. These Drakocrocs had be his current target!

    ¡°Get ready for a fight!¡±

    Qin Feng pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber from his spatial runic equipment and equipped the Scarlet Fire w on his left hand. The pair of rune equipment that he now held made Qin Feng look quite valiant!

 Chapter 218 - The Ultra Beastâ€™s Backyard

    <h4>Chapter 218: The Ultra Beast¡¯s Backyard</h4>

    Han Jian had seen Qin Feng¡¯s equipment before, but now, seeing the man wield said equipment left him momentarily awestruck.

    Still, this situation did not allow him time to appreciate how cool Qin Feng looked!

    Several teams were originally stationed on the beach, and as a result of the Drakocrocsing ashore, a battle had begun. The Drakocrocs were startled by the teams and decided to give chase.

    The distance of a hundred meters was just a few hops for the ultra beasts. This entire ind really was part of their backyard.

    An ancient warrior was sprinting like a madman with seven or eight Drakocrocs behind him. His face had a look of desperation and he was frantically using up his internal force to run faster and faster.

    He soon saw Qin Feng and the rest.

    ¡°Sh*t,¡± Chi Long swore under his breath, aiming his sniper rifle at the ancient warrior. His action indicated that if the ancient warrior were to get any closer he would open fire and put him down!

    However, being an aptitude user himself, Chi Long would not have killed him just like that, and the ancient warrior knew that. That was why he unscrupulously started running in their direction.

    ¡°We need to move, quick!¡± Han Jian eximed.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, stood his ground, waiting for the Drakocrocs to approach.

    ¡°People from the Dark Organization? They really aren¡¯t scared of death!¡± Qin Feng stared at the ancient warrior who was full of surprises. The ancient warrior saw that Qin Feng was not moving and thought that he was actually going to save him!

    It was a shame that Qin Feng did not repay evil with good will.

    ¡°Firebeam!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his left hand and a line of mes burst out from his palm. Previously, Qin Feng¡¯s firebeam had been roughly a thin ray of light, now it was as thick as his forearm and looked absolutely terrifying.

    Such arge burst of me was something the ancient warrior could not evade.

    ¡°Martial Art¡ªMetal Arms!¡± The man¡¯s arms were then covered with internal force, making the exposed skin much thicker.

    The firebeam impacted against the man, but the ancient warrior still wanted to charge forward. He was hoping that he would be able to plow through the attack after the firebeam had struck.

    Unfortunately, he was going to be very disappointed!

    Boom!

    Chomp!

    The Drakocrocing from behind the ancient warrior bit down on its target.

    ¡°Argh!¡± The ancient warrior let out a scream. He was an E-tier aptitude user so he would not be easily killed, he let out a huge burst of internal force before mming a fist into the Drakocroc¡¯s gums.

    The other Drakocrocs did not step forward to fight for the food but instead looked toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not wait for his opponents to approach, brandishing the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand and rushing forward.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    A burning de burst forth, everything within ten meters waspletely shrouded in mes.

    One of the Drakocrocs was suddenly cut down by the de, its skin splitting open.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The remaining Drakocrocs all rushed toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Blooming me!¡±

    The burning re burst forth once again! With a swing that powerful, the Drakocrocs were flung aside!

    As the Verdant Emperor Saber danced through the air, it left an inky trail as its scale-like patterns glinted off its de before finding its mark and severely cutting into one of the Drakocroc¡¯s neck.

    Plop!

    One of the heads fell and rolled on the sand. That one was definitely dead!

    More began to approach and surround Qin Feng. ¡°Impacting me!¡± A huge gout of me was mmed into the ground, tossing the surrounding Drakocrocs away

    The huge Verdant Emperor Saber swung away, hacking and shing at whatever got too close. Everytime it swung, it left a massive gash in the attacking Drakocrocs. It was like cutting through tofu.

    This was the power of a strengthened emperor ss D-tier weapon.

    Qin Feng was covered in blood but his movements became faster and faster. At this time, Han Jian, who had been hiding before, felt his fighting spirit get ignited by Qin Feng¡¯s actions.

    ¡°Bring it on!¡±

    A weapon also appeared in Han Jian¡¯s hands. Who would have known that the meek Han Jian¡¯s preferred weapon would be a morningstar?

    With a swing of the massive weapon, it crushed a Drakocroc¡¯s head.

    ¡°Alright!¡± Chi Long stowed his sniper rifle and brought out a pair of pistols.

    Bang bang bang bang!

    Bullets shrouded in cold aura flew forward and froze the limbs of the Drakocrocs they hit in the blink of an eye, halting their movements.

    With the added cooperation of these two people, Qin Feng¡¯s ughtering became even more effortless.

    In mere moments, the Drakocrocs dropped to the ground one after another.

    Boom!

    Not far away, the Drakocroc that bit down on the Dark Organization aptitude user suddenly exploded into smithereens!

    ¡°Bloodthirst!¡± The man¡¯s hand was quickly dunked into a puddle of blood, absorbing it to repair his wounds. However, his eyes quickly became overwhelmed with bloodlust.

    Such practices, when used frequently, would make the user violent and irritable to a point where they go into a killing frenzy.

    It was a move practiced by the Dark Organization and had heavy side effects. An evil cultivation method.

    Regardless, whatever method in this kind of situation was a good method.

    This Dark Organization member was very lucky. The teeth marks that had been left on the abdomen had begun to seal up just as he began to crawl out of the dead beast¡¯s mouth.

    Then, he was greeted by arge de to his head.

    sh!

    The man was almost sliced in half, his head dropping to the ground.

    Qin Feng had no intention of letting the man go.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The Drakocrocs further away seemed to have smelled the blood on Qin Feng as they rushed toward him.

    ¡°Move!¡± Qin Feng started dragging the Dark Organization member¡¯s body along, quickly stripping it of rune equipment and spatial equipment.

    As for the Drakocrocs, while the beast-soldier-level ultra beasts did not necessarily have a good energy core, their skin was quite valuable, but they had no time to harvest it.

    After taking down a Drakocroc, Han Jian still wanted to continue fighting but the moment he saw the Drakocrocs running in from the distance, all courage immediately fled his body and he started to turn and run.

    ¡°Huff huff!¡± After letting out a deep breath, internal force spread to everyone nearby and everyone¡¯s speed increased drastically.

    However, things were about to get worse!

    ¡°Watch out!¡± Qin Feng warned sternly before letting out another gout of me from his left hand.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    The mes instantly enveloped a bunch of nts.

    ¡°Chirp chirp chirp!¡±

    These nts let out a piercing telekic scream and even began to bleed what looked like human blood from the gaps in their barks.

    ¡°Blood birches!¡±

    Several trees were linked together to block the path in front of them and behind them, more Drakocros began to appear

    ¡°Die!¡± Qin Feng turned to face the approaching ultra beasts, raising his left hand into the sky.

    In a sh, fire runes appeared in his hand, shooting out into the sky before turning into a monstrous dragon.

    ¡°Fire Dragon!¡±

    A powerful ming dragon had been summoned.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    The ming dragon roared and barreled toward the iing Drakocrocs. With such a powerful dragon, even the Drakocrocs would be scattered by the assault, being tossed around left and right.

    All of the Drakocrocs that were attacking Qin Feng had the tables turned on them!

    ¡°All of you will fall to me!¡±

    Qin Feng was like an unstoppable god of fire that had descended to smite his foes!

 Chapter 219 - Life or Death Escape

    <h4>Chapter 219: Life or Death Escape</h4>

    These Drakocrocs were only just beast soldiers, much weaker than beast generals! Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Dragon Style would be able to y even beast generals, these were just beast soldiers after all.

    The Drakocrocs were like a bunch of y chicken, small fries.

    Qin Feng was getting more and more ruthless the more he killed, and his body was constantly absorbing the energy that was brought on by the deaths of the Drakocrocs. Due to the continuous ughter, Qin Feng¡¯s body finally advanced once more!

    E1 tier.

    He was no longer the same as having just stepped into E tier. His powerful body was once again strengthened, doubling his previous power.

    Now, with enhanced sword swings, he shed at one of the huge Drakocrocs and split it in half.

    The battle had been decided the moment it began.

    With Qin Feng taking the front, the others began to move forward to help out. Everything was getting more coordinated.

    Lin Wuyi¡¯s toxin burst forward, paralyzing a Drakocroc before it was taken down by Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    Han Jian fought back the ones that tried to nk Qin Feng, but since they had been injured before he was able to bring down two of them.

    The one that was having the most fun was probably Chi Long.

    Boom!

    A resonating sniper rifle rang out and a fist-sized hole appeared on the brow of a Drakocroc. With a bullet drilled this deep into its head, it was not going to get up any time soon!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    After firing four shots in a row, the Drakocrocs fell to the ground one by one. There was a thinyer of sweat on Chi Long¡¯s forehead but he could not have been more excited.

    They actually managed to take down all twenty of the Drakocrocs that were attacking them in one fell swoop.

    ¡°Gather the spoils and prepare to leave!¡± Qin Feng took a deep breath to recollect his consciousness and recall his runes.

    ¡°Roger that!¡± Lin Wuyi pulled out his weapon and quickly went to work on one of the bodies, cutting away the leathery hide of the huge beast.

    Han Jian and Chi Long did not refute, they even took the initiative to further speed up the process. Everyone had unanimously decided that Qin Feng was the leader.

    They went deeper toward the center of the ind, that way the Drakocrocs would not be able to catch up to them for quite a while and it gave them time to harvest their spoils. Soon, twenty four ultra beast leathers were obtained. They had also learned that a Drakocroc¡¯s teeth were not very sharp. What was amazing was their bite force and the bones in their lower jaw which were extremely durable.

    After cutting away the materials, they looked over to the direction of the blood birches.

    Under Qin Feng¡¯s Hellfire Carpet, the barks of the trees had been scorched ck. While they were not in good health, they were obviously still alive.

    Qin Feng did not hesitate to rush ahead and sh at the trees. This caused them to let out another blood-curdling scream, but it was pretty much helpless. There was something in the cores of the trees that was red in color and looked like some kind of paste. It seemed to be like some kind of a natural healing medicine.

    He moved like a lumberjack as he took the front. The Verdant Emperor Saber shed horizontally at every blood birch in the way with Lin Wuyi picking up the spoils one after the other without needing additional instructions.

    In the blink of an eye, they had broken through the blood birch blockade. They only stopped when they passed by a meandering stream.

    ¡°Hoo!¡±

    After a series of thrilling escapes and battles, everyone felt exhausted.

    Qin Feng gave the order for everyone to clean up, using his consciousness to manipte the water to wash the blood and stink off his body so ultra beasts would not get attracted so easily.

    ¡°Damn it, why are there Drakocrocs here? They didn¡¯t say anything about this during the auction!¡± Han Jian said through gritted teeth.

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because of that they would let peoplee explore this ce, after meeting such powerful ultra beasts who¡¯d want to set up a base camp here?¡± Chi Long let out a sigh.

    At this time, Lin Wuyi handed the materials he had gathered to Qin Feng. Han Jian and Chi Long noticed this and realized that the spoils had not been distributed yet.

    ¡°Qin Feng, we¡¯re all here together, acted together and are currently considered as a team. Although I¡¯m older than you, I¡¯m kind of ashamed of my strength. You should be the leader!¡±

    A team needed a good leader, otherwise it would be all over the ce.

    ¡°I don¡¯t mind!¡± Chi Long quickly said. It seemed like Lin Wuyi and Bai Li also shared Chi Long¡¯s sentiment.

    Qin Feng did not hesitate, instead he asked, ¡°How will you two split the loot?¡±

    Chi Long hesitated for a moment before regaining hisposure and said, ¡°If the battles toe are like the one we just went through, and Qin Feng acts as the main force, then I¡¯ll take ten percent!¡±

    If it were not for Qin Feng in the previous battle, they would not even be alive!

    Han Jian did not have a problem with that and just nodded his head.

    ¡°How about this? Everyone will get allocated a piece. Since Bai Li didn¡¯t do anything then she won¡¯t get anything. Outstanding performance inbat means outstanding rewards. What do you all think?¡± Qin Feng suggested.

    ¡°Sure!¡± Han Jian nodded in agreement.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it a bit inappropriate to not less Miss Bai take something at the very least?¡± Chi Long had seen Bai Li in action before. After hearing that the other party was not going to receive anything made him nervous, a little bit afraid at the thought of Bai Li being unhappy.

    Bai Li curled her lips at the sight, apparently not interested in beast soldier materials.

    ¡°Then, you can consider what I get as part of hers. It¡¯s up to her whenever the situation gets critical!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s evolution method was different from everyone else¡¯s. Participating inbat did not give her a lot of benefits and Qin Feng could use the exercise.

    Han Jian did not know about Bai Li¡¯s strength and merely thought that Qin Feng was much too fond of his little girlfriend!

    The loot was allocated, with Han Jian, Chi Long and Lin Wuyi taking two and a half worth of Drakocroc materials.

    As for the Dark Organization member that Qin Feng killed, nobody asked for any spoils from that. Qin Feng killed the guy, and he also fended off the first wave of the Drakocrocs, it was more or less unavoidable.

    While they were dividing their spoils, a huge boa with mottled skin quietly slithered out from the river. This snake reared up behind Bai Li, as if it was going to swallow her whole.

    The thing was so quiet that nobody had noticed.

    Qin Feng raised a brow and lifted his sword.

    Plop!

    The giant snake¡¯s head dropped onto the ground.

    It was only an F8-tier ultra beast but still, it meant that the ind was absolutely unsafe!

    Watching the blood of the mottled boa stain the small creak, everyone knew that this would attract even more horrible creatures.

    Qin Feng furrowed his brow and looked around before saying, ¡°We¡¯ll head north!¡±

    Everyone quickly evacuated the area.

    After they had just left the area, a pack of Drakocrocs began to upy it and re in the direction where Qin Feng and the others went with bloodthirsty eyes before rushing forward.

    Rustle rustle rustle.

    Weird noises began to emerge from the jungle, as if there were hunters in the dark just waiting for the right moment to reveal their fangs.

    Ten minutester, Qin Feng¡¯s group was caught up by the Drakocrocs and there was another bloody battle.

    This time, they had reached a distance from the coast.

    ¡°Everyone who came here ended up getting scattered. In this case, the situation looks pretty bad. Those who had their return waymarks would have headed back already!¡± Han Jian frowned, apparently very worried about the current situation.

 Chapter 220 - Double-cross

    <h4>Chapter 220: Double-cross</h4>

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it!¡±

    It was not a big deal considering they had managed to get spatial rune equipment from the person that got killed. It could be dismantled and then repurposed into a return waymark and if that did not work, they had Bai Li. Qin Feng was in fact more confident than they were.

    Chi Long flipped down from the treetops, there was an air of excitement around him.

    ¡°I did an infrared scan of the ce. I think I saw some Drakocroc eggs, but there¡¯s a Drakocroc beast general there. The size of that thing is terrifying!¡±

    Drakocroc beast soldiers were only about five meters long, Drakocroc Generals were far bigger than that. However, if a Drakocroc egg hatches, a contract could be made on the spot, making them extremely valuable!

    ¡°Lets go and see!¡±

    The group carefully approached the Drakocroc¡¯s position and quickly discovered the massive creature. Even if it was just a beast general, the sheer size and natural strength it had made it a grade above other beast generals.

    There were a total of four eggs, but the beast general was inseparable from them. Not only that, there were three other Drakocrocs just around the corner. If they were to engage inbat they would definitely be caught.

    The Drakocrocs also had natural enemies, which were a type of E-tier ultra beasts called Wing Gale Gulls. If there were no way to get rid of these natural enemies, the Drakocrocs would just smash their own eggs.[1]

    Qin Feng and the rest were not exactly natural enemies but it was impossible to guarantee that these Drakocrocs would choose death¡ªof their offsprings¡ªover dishonor when they engage inbat.

    Thinking about this, Qin Feng said, ¡°I¡¯ll go bind them up, the rest of you go nab the eggs!¡±

    Han Jian did not even have time to ask how Qin Feng was going to do that when he saw him stow away the Verdant Emperor Saber and pull out arge silver pistol. He then shrouded his entire body in dark runes, hiding in the shadows before approaching the four Drakocrocs.

    Bang!

    The pistol made a low bark and a giant web spread out over the giant beast general, wrapping around it.

    It was the web from the Steel-limb Broodmother. A beast king¡¯s webbing would be able to hold even an E-tier beast general.

    The four ultra beasts were now entangled, and without wasting time, Qin Feng swapped back to the Verdant Emperor Saber and rushed toward the biggest Drakocroc.

    ¡°Get out of here!¡±

    Qin Feng pushed forward a strong burst of internal force, fiercely striking the beast general.

    Boom!

    The huge force pushed the beast general three meters away from its nest. For the creature, three meters would have been nothing, but it would no longer be able to get three meters within its nest.

    ¡°Once more!¡±

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    ¡°Repulsion!¡±

    Concentrating on Asteroid Assimtion, Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength became ten times stronger and a greater repulsive force was sent out from the saber in his hand which sent the Drakocroc general another five meters away.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The Drakocroc, enraged by Qin Feng¡¯s actions, opened its mouth wide and rushed forward to swallow him whole.

    Qin Feng was able to read his opponent very well as he managed to use his Phantom Steps to form a string of afterimages and quickly disappear from the beast¡¯s line of sight.

    The Drakocroc general made the ground rumble as it spun its body around, using its perception, it sensed Qin Feng¡¯s aura behind it.

    ¡°Blooming me!¡±

    The saber shed and the Drakocroc¡¯s tail was suddenly cut so deep that it hit the bone. If it were not for the Drakocroc general¡¯s quick reaction it would have lost its tail there and then.

    ¡°Hruu!¡± The Drakocroc let out a distressed cry that conveyed its sense of fear, and at the same time, it carried with it the tone of unrepressed rage. It dug its ws into the ground, leaving cracks wherever it stomped as it flipped itself forward, rolling then mming into and snapping a tree in half.

    It was sheer brutality and devastation incarnate. With such a powerful force, it was rolling right toward him.

    ¡°Impacting me!¡±

    Qin Feng pointed his left hand at the rampaging ultra beast and spewed out mes. The shockwave did not rush out to meet the Drakocroc, however, it formed into a force that propelled him out of the way.

    This sent him about twenty meters away.

    Qin Feng fleeing and the Drakocroc giving chase had them move up to a hundred meters away from the nest in the blink of an eye.

    This distance was not very far in the eyes of most aptitude users, but this was a life or death situation that would have sent chills down people¡¯s backs. Qin Feng was like a small boat in a storm waiting to be overturned at any moment.

    ¡°Move, move!¡±

    Finally, the others began to act. Lin Wuyi looked to the other struggling Drakocrocs and released his sharp ws.

    Colorful nails punctured the Drakocrocs¡¯ skin and a powerful venom began to seep into their bodies. Without any resistance, the Drakocrocs went still and died.

    Han Jian and Chi Long quickly grabbed the four-meter-tall eggs and ced them into their space before running away.

    As if sensing something, the Drakocroc general turned its head toward the direction of its nest, letting out a roar before it started to rush back.

    ¡°Trying to run away? I don¡¯t think so!¡± Qin Feng swung the Verdant Emperor Saber, directly engaging the Drakocroc in close-quartersbat. His current strength would certainly allow him to do so, previously he was holding back because the precious eggs might have gotten damaged.

    The powerful de shed into the Drakocroc¡¯s body and once again blood drenched Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    ¡°Die!¡± Qin Feng gave another swing of his de

    Pop!

    He cleaved the beast¡¯s head right off.

    The Drakocroc general has been in!

    At this moment, there was a sudden noiseing from the distance.

    Bang!

    A purple crystal bullet whizzed through the undergrowth directly toward Qin Feng. His consciousness allowed him to remain vignt as he managed to dodge in the nick of time, barely escaping a possibly fatal blow with his lightning fast speed.

    Bzzt... bzzt...

    The bullet that sank into the body of the Drakocroc began to glow with a violet light, turning into a flicker of electricity.

    A sneak attack!

    This sound seemed to havee from a distance around five hundred meters away, otherwise Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness would have detected it. It would have been impossible for Qin Feng to miss anything within three hundred meters.

    Upon hearing gunshots, Chi Long felt his heart skip a beat. After spreading out his consciousness, he found out that it came from an enemy.

    ¡°Someone¡¯s trying to double-cross us! The nerve!¡±

    He pulled out an even bigger sniper rifle and aimed it at where he found the enemy before firing. With his consciousness locking onto the person, the bullet swerved past nts and dipped between gaps as it flew forward.

    Boom!

    The other retaliated by blocking with their own bullet.

    Since neither could see their target directly, both began to let out a series of bombardments.

    The two¡¯s battle was carried out in the air, the method of how gunners fought was a dazzling disy.

    Qin Feng disappeared from where he was, moving in the shadows and rapidly approaching.

    In a split second, he appeared within the range of the other gunner. Just where he stood, a ck shadow leaped toward it, skillfully swinging a pair of daggers in an unpredictable fashion.

    One strong and wide sh, and another deadly and instant stab.

    These daggers were way too fast. Qin Feng could not avoid them and had to use another trick.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    His dark ability surrounded the area, and within the pitch-ck darkness, even one¡¯s consciousness would not be able to sense anything.

    This made the assassin hesitate for a moment, and it allowed Qin Feng to avoid getting shed as a dagger chopped off a part of his fringe.

    He responded with a kick!

    Crack!

    The person attacking him was sent flying, and Qin Feng instantly recognized who it was!

    [1] That¡¯s a pretty dumb survival method if you ask me. That¡¯s like throwing your baby to the wolves and hoping you don¡¯t get eaten.

 Chapter 221 - Slaying She-Wolf

    <h4>Chapter 221: ying She-Wolf</h4>

    She-Wolf!

    It actually was her!

    She was an expert assassin with that speed that was disyed. If Qin Feng had been careless it probably would have been the end of him.

    He did not hesitate and raised his left hand, the King tier fire crystal core exploded into a bright light.

    ¡°Firebeam!¡±

    A st of me as thick as his arm shot out toward She-Wolf.

    Although darkness clouded her vision and suppressed her perception, the experience from years of fighting in the dark allowed her to quickly avoid the attack! Her speed was indeed fast to have immediately avoided Qin Feng¡¯s attack!

    Boom!

    The firebeam immediately lit up the ground where it impacted. The shockwave still hit She-Wolf and flung her away, forcing her to roll into the bushes, but it also released her from the effects of the dark runes.

    In just a few seconds, being so close to a life or death situation terrified She-Wolf! She was good, the best there was and nobody had ever evaded her daggers before. She had not expected to be embarrassed by other people like this today.

    At this time, the shrieks of bomb shells came in from a distance.

    She-Wolf¡¯s expression suddenly fell.

    The Firebeam attack was actually aimed at her but the impact exposed her surroundings, revealing the location of the gunner who was with her.

    She had to duck and hide which drastically reduced her effectiveness while the other started to fire wildly.

    Boom boom boom!

    Where she used to stand was bombarded by artillery, even if one had rune equipment and internal resistance, it would still result in heavy losses.

    ¡°Motherf-¡± She-Wolf¡¯s face contorted with rage and she quickly fled.

    Originally, Qin Feng wanted to wait for She-Wolf to reappear before killing her, but he was stunned. He had not expected her to just run away like that.

    After all, he knew that there was one more teammate that had not run away yet!

    Then again, were there actually any reliable team members in the Dark Coalition? They were not all from a ce of power!

    Thinking of this, Qin Feng decided to not pay attention to She-Wolf for now. So long as they were on the ind, they would meet again!

    After walking a few steps away, he found an area that had the aftermath of Chi Long¡¯s bombardment. With such a confrontation, Lin Wuyi and Han Jian had arrived on the battlefield.

    ¡°She-Wolf you b*tch! You¡¯re worthless!¡± The gunner called out before starting to retreat.

    Unfortunately, he was not going anywhere.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber emerged from the darkness, bringing with it a whooshing sound.

    ¡°You¡¯re dead!¡± The gunner gathered his consciousness and rushed toward Qin Feng. At such a close distance, he could not have avoided the attack, swapping to a pistol for a more archaic but also the most powerful attack!

    It was just that this attack had strong side-effects and should only be used in times of great danger! His consciousness sharpened into that of a small arrow before plunging into Qin Feng¡¯s brow.

    The gunner was certain that Qin Feng would suffer from vertigo and get a migraine, and if his consciousness were not strong enough he might even be knocked unconscious.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression did not change, and the sword had not even slowed down.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber¡¯s de came in horizontally, scaring the gunner.

    ¡°No!!!¡±

    He wanted to dodge the attack but his speed could not bepared with Qin Feng¡¯s. Before he could even use more life-saving methods, he was already dead!

    At this time, Han Jian and Lin Wuyi, who had arrived, saw that the battle was over and they felt rxed.

    ¡°Just now, I heard that gunner call out to She-Wolf, does that mean She-Wolf was here?¡± Han Jian felt a little surprised.

    She-Wolf had an infamous reputation among the Three Cities along the Sun because she had assassinated countless of wealthy merchants and aptitude users. She even had the nerve to go after leaders of small colonies.

    There was a one billion yuan bounty on her head listed on the bounty hunterwork.

    ¡°She was, but she ran off!¡±

    At this time, they heard a distant scream. It sounded like it belonged to a woman!

    This made the three¡¯s hearts skip a beat, looking to the direction from where the noise came from, they realized that it was from the ce where the Drakocroc general had fallen.

    Almost instantly, their minds understood the situation.

    ¡°Damn, is that woman trying to steal our loot?¡± Lin Wuyi did not know how scary She-Wolf was but thinking of what She-Wolf could have done made him seethe with rage.

    ¡°Is Ms. Bai in danger?¡± Han Jian¡¯s heart was beating rapidly.

    A woman¡¯s scream could only be Bai Li¡¯s but Bai Li¡¯s voice did not sound like that!

    However, their reaction speed was not as quick as Qin Feng¡¯s, who had already bolted off toward the scene. He naturally did not believe anything would have happened to Bai Li!

    Qin Feng and Chi Long reached the spot in the blink of an eye, and what they saw shocked them.

    She-Wolf had her limbs broken and was syed out on the ground. Next to her was Bai Li, looking as harmless as usual.

    Obviously, She-Wolf only wanted to steal the loot of the beast general. After all, it would not have taken a long time to take out the energy core. Using the gunner to lure Qin Feng and the rest away was amon way to do things!

    If Bai Li had not gotten bored ande over to dig out the crystal core, she would not have met She-Wolf. When these two met, it naturally would not be Bai Li who suffered!

    After arriving at the scene, he understood what had happened and quickly moved over to She-Wolf, not letting her speak, and immediately took action.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    In an instant, She-Wolf¡¯s internal force was absorbed. Then, with a punch, he crushed She-Wolf¡¯s throat. He could not risk her revealing Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability.

    With someone dying in such a brutal manner, the others stared at Bai Li in awe. Anyone who escaped Qin Feng would be killed by Bai Li in close quartersbat, they could not fathom just how powerful she was!

    ¡°Clean this up and we¡¯ll distribute the lootter.¡± Qin Feng said.

    The others nodded. They made a lot of noise during their battle and that surely would attract more ultra beasts. The most difficult thing to deal with right now was the Drakocroc horde and they definitely did not want to get surrounded.

    After packing up the loot, everyone retreated and avoided the iing pack of Drakocrocs.

    Han Jian and Chi Long were filled with glee after they had found a safe ce. They reaped in quite a lot today.

    Drakocroc general materials, four Drakocroc eggs and four Drakocroc soldier materials.

    Qin Feng took out some other things, among them were a pair of E-tier aptitude user rings. One of them belonged to She-Wolf, the infamous female assassin.

    He had even cut off her head and ced it on the ground nearby. This pretty head was worth a bounty of one billion yuan now!

    For a time, everyone was breathing heavily. Now, they had a moment to regainposure.

    ¡°Since I did not participate in the battle. I won¡¯t be taking She-Wolf¡¯s gear and bounty!¡± Han Jian said.

 Chapter 222 - The World Under the Island

    <h4>Chapter 222: The World Under the Ind</h4>

    The others peered at Bai Li cautiously after Han Jian said so and nodded in agreement. All of them willingly gave up on sharing She-Wolf¡¯s spoils.

    She was instant-killed by Bai Li effortlessly. She was undoubtedly a fearsome character.

    Han Jian, Chi Long, and Ling Wuyi quickly recalled whether they had done anything that offended Bai Li.

    Nheless, the group was still delighted about obtaining the Drakocroc eggs.

    ¡°If everyone agrees, then the loot from She-Wolf will be given entirely to Bai Li.¡± Qin Feng handed the items to Bai Li but she loathed taking her head. Thus, Qin Feng stored it into his own spatial runic equipment.

    ¡°There are only four Drakocroc eggs so each of you will get one. I will be taking the beast general¡¯s loot and all the runic equipment of the gunner. Any objections?¡±

    By right, they would only receive ten percent from the loot based on their contributions in defeating the beast. The ten percent of the materials from the beast generalbined with the runic equipment were still less valuable than the worth of a Drakocroc egg.

    Qin Feng was already being generous so there was no reason for them to refuse. After they had reached an agreement, Qin Feng proceeded to unpack the runic equipment that belonged to the dead gunner. He asked Chi Long to pick the equipment that he preferred from among the guns and ammunition found in it.

    They were now trapped on the isted ind and had yet to find a way to leave. There was no other way to replenish their supplies so this was the only way to make sure his allies had enough stock to deal with uing battles.

    With that said, he did not provide the supplies for free. It was put on tab and would be deducted from Chi Long¡¯s share of loot in subsequent battles.

    Afterpleting the distribution, they left the ce and found a water source to wash away the blood scent on their bodies. They then continued to explore the ind.

    Undeniably, this deserted ce was surprisingly vibrant. They could sense that the entire ce was flooded with natural energy.

    Their internal power recovered, albeit slowly, through breathing alone.

    They found more spirit herbs ahead on their path. This journey was going to make them rich, if they ever make it out alive that is.

    Other than Qin Feng¡¯s team, the more than a hundred users that had arrived together with them were less fortunate.

    After all, not many were as capable as Qin Feng.

    They scrambled for their lives frantically ambush after ambush. Despair consumed them as any moment might be theirst.

    Luckily, when some of them fled to the center region of the ind, Drakocrocs no longer chased after them for some unknown reason.

    The night arrived, and those who had battled the entire day finally found a moment of peace.

    The Drakocrocs had really retreated!

    Though Qin Feng and co. did not know what was happening, they arrived at the same destination as everyone and saw other aptitude users there.

    But of course, the number of survivors was much fewer than before.

    Han Jian¡¯s face turned grim when he saw the others.

    He walked toward an E-tier aptitude user and asked in a low voice, ¡°Where¡¯s Liu Ba?¡±

    The person was apparently saddened and answered regrettably, ¡°Dead.¡±

    Everyone went quiet after that. Han Jian said nothing more and returned to Qin Feng.

    These people here were veteran warriors. They had set up some basic defenses around the area and sprayed high-tier monster repellent to secure the make-shift base. Qin Feng also set up his own camp. Such preparations were standard for any E-tier user.

    ¡°General Han, why the long face?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Han Jian replied sorrowfully, ¡°One of the users from Dong Ling has lost his life. His name is Liu Ba. Do you still remember him?¡±

    There was no way Qin Feng would forget.

    ¡®He was rather heroic going up against the Emperor Knight in the past. It¡¯s hard to imagine that he had died just like that.¡¯

    ¡°I do.¡±

    ¡°Dong Ling colony is going to be in chaos soon. Liu Ba is quite influential there. Even someone as powerful as he has died just like that. This ce is sick.¡±

    Han Jian recalled what he had just gone through the whole day and could not help but trembled in fear.

    If not because he had chosen to follow Qin Feng, he might already be a dead man like Liu Ba.

    Right now, Han Jian¡¯s opinion toward Qin Feng had drastically changed. He initially thought that Qin Feng was just another brilliant, inexperienced youngster, but now he was wholeheartedly convinced. Other than admiration, he also held great gratitude toward the young man.

    The atmosphere surrounding the campsite was icy cold.

    ¡°Do any of you know the owner of the spatial waymark?¡±

    ¡°It was basically a trap!¡±

    ¡°We have been misled into the nest of Drakocrocs. It¡¯s a miracle that we are even alive now.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t recognize the owner of the spatial waymark, but I do remember the gunner from before. He is under Leitang.¡±

    The crowd went silent.

    Leitang Organization.

    ¡°What are they plotting?¡±

    ¡°From what I heard, Leitang Organization is currently in conflict with the top leaders of Sea City.¡±

    ¡°Damn! Why are we the ones suffering when they are the ones butting heads?¡±

    ¡°Hoho. I see a lot of people from Sea City here. Guess you guys didn¡¯t see thising, did you?¡±

    Suddenly, everyone was debating loudly. At the same time, many had their gazes fixed on one man¡ªTyrant!

    Those from the inner circle were usually the ones with the most information.

    Though others here were also considered high ranking officers in their respective colonies, a matter of such degree was beyond their grasp. Tyrant was the only one around here that might know the details.

    He was among those who tried to intercept men from the Dark Coalition before. However, feeling obligated to those that had bid for the ten tickets, he followed the group into this ind after his employer had left.

    To be honest, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

    Even picking up the leftovers behind the main group would make this trip worthwhile.

    That was the real reason Tyrant followed them through the rift.

    ¡°I am not sure. We, Wanzhong, have nothing to do with Leitang.¡±

    Leitang was initially a part of the Dark Coalition when it first emerged.

    They ran entertainment businesses on the surface but secretly supplied drugs under the table. Leitang was once a pest being hated by many colonies.

    Regardless, they managed to establish a organization in the end. Naturally, this was thanks to their formidable founder.

    In a doomed world like this, anyone could build a kingdom through sheer power. However, as soon as the founder fell out of favor, his or her kingdom would immediately crumble too.

    Though the public debate had stopped, people were still conversing secretly.

    ¡°This smells exactly like a conspiracy. The only thing is, who is the intended target? What purpose do they have?¡± Han Jian pointed out.

    ¡°We all are. Didn¡¯t we jump into this trap voluntarily?¡± Chi Long replied ironically. Many had paid for it with their lives hopping onto this one-way convoy to hell.

    ¡°Stop overthinking it. The most important thing now is to stay alive. Train while you can and sleep earlier tonight. We still have ample battles to do tomorrow.¡± Qin Feng chipped in and stopped their fruitless quarrel.

    Actually, Qin Feng was the only one among them that knew the entire story.

    This spatial waymark had led them into a resourceful ce. That part was unexpected.

    Equally unthinkable was that this ce was also a nest that housed numerous Drakocrocs. Not only that but there is also a Drakocroc beast king residing in one of the underground caverns.

    Since Leitang was too busy to clear out the ind at the moment, the spatial waymark was neglected. In the end, a D-tier aptitude user from Leitang discovered the waymark and decided to put it into good use. His name was Lei Chen.

    He was not aiming to set up any particr individual but to lure away most of the E-tier aptitude users out of Sea City. Right now, Sea City was greatly deprived ofbatants thanks to him.

    Things went smoothly ording to his n, and the rest was history. In Qin Feng¡¯s past memory, Lei Chen would officially be the mayor of Sea City half a monthter.

    As for the mayor before him, Qin Feng had no memory of that person at all. Nobody cared about the loser in this damning world!

 Chapter 223 - The Dark Light

    <h4>Chapter 223: The Dark Light</h4>

    In this post-apocalyptic world, E-tiers would normally be leaders of small colonies, the so-called mayor.

    In turn, D-tiers would be elected as mayors ofrger cities like Chengyang.

    C-tiers no longer cohered to a city but would instead establish and lead one¡¯s own organization or association.

    There were, of course, different scales of an organization. The influence and magnitude of an organization were directly proportional to its leader¡¯s strength, scaling up from C-tier to A-tier.

    Leitang Organization, though only a small association, had a substantialwork in the three cities. Organizations usually avoided unnecessary conflict between each other.

    ¡®These do not concern me. I only need to make sure I fully utilize this opportunity.¡¯

    Qin Feng blocked off the external voices and went into meditation. He had absorbed the internal power of She-Wolf and the gunner they had killed earlier. She-Wolf¡¯s internal power was especiallypact but still far from Qin Feng¡¯s level.

    ¡®Absorb!¡¯

    The internal power began to rush through his meridian and strengthened it. Surplus power was stored into his dantian and formed a new energy cloud. It had now reached fifteenyers.

    Afterward, Qin Feng took out the Godwill As and started to hone his consciousness. Aspared to his internal force, this was obviously more difficult. The extermination of the gunner helped advance his consciousness slightly.

    Training on this ind was two to three times faster than the normal rate. Others began to take notice of this as well. The chatting quieted down eventually as everyone started to turn their attention into meditation and consciousness training.

    Qin Feng opened his eyes around midnight.

    ¡°Bai Li, let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng woke Bai Li up soundlessly.

    Bai Li yawned and looked at Qin Feng half-consciously. ¡°Where are we headed to?¡±

    Qin Feng smiled gently. ¡°Treasure, of course.¡±

    Bai Li was enthused. After they got changed, Qin Feng concealed them in dark runes and turned invisible as they camouged into the pitch-ck surroundings.

    They weaved through other E-tier users¡¯ camps in the dark without startling anyone.

    Qin Feng asked Bai Li to transport them only when they were far enough.

    ¡°Toward the east, to the edge of this ind.¡±

    The ce they were currently at was not the exact center of the ind. To reach the core, it was actually best to enter through the ind¡¯s perimeter.

    They reached the east side of the ind in no time through Bai Li¡¯s spacetime ability.

    There was no beach around here but a cliff. Down the cliff were caves of different sizes. Most of it looked gigantic.

    ¡°In there,¡± Qin Feng said.

    Schwaff!

    They disappeared on the spot and reappeared inside one of the caves.

    The darkness did not remove Qin Feng¡¯s senses. He was able to distinctly see everything inside the cave. On the ground, there were trails of Dakrocrocs, while stinking poops were seen all over the corners.

    Qin Feng marched forward vigntly.

    Snore...

    The loud noises of Drakocrocs sleeping reached them.

    Qin Feng focused his consciousness toward that direction. A group of Drakocrocs was seen sound asleep.

    ¡®Dark Shroud!¡¯

    Arge cloud of dark runes spread out quietly. It brought those fast asleep Drakocrocs into deeper darkness.

    ¡®Dark ray!¡¯

    A horrifying radiant light burst forth from Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    Qin Feng¡¯s fireser had be thicker and manifested into a fire w after he had attained E-tier. The darkser was less fancy in that regard. Yet, it was no less powerful and shot out to half a meter within a second.

    The dark ray fell on one of the Drakocrocs. The monster aged rapidly at an observable speed after being hit by the ray.

    Its flesh underwent senescence and decayed away, leaving behind only white bones. If not because the scales had umted enough natural energy from the environment, no remains would have been left behind.

    In the dark, the rest of the Drakocrocs were moving about restlessly. They could sense that something horrible had just arrived.

    But their senses had been greatly jeopardized by the Dark Shroud.

    ¡®The dark ability is terrific.¡¯

    Even Qin Feng did not expect such an oue. With that said, he was not all that surprised.

    The Hell Stone had been endlessly releasing dark runes to supply Qin Feng¡¯s diamond all this while. The number of dark runes in it now was something to behold.

    He had no idea about its power because he had never put it into use.

    The hidden potential of his dark ability was finally unleashed today.

    ¡®Let me see how far this ability can go.¡¯

    Qin Feng expanded his consciousness.

    Under his control, the ray that was originally a line turned into an expansive band. He learned this trick from Deng Nian.

    ¡®Light of Death!¡¯

    The initial dark ray, though powerful, could only attack a single target. Right now, it could wrap every monster in it.

    The remaining four Drakocrocs were engulfed by the darkness and they instantly turned lifeless.

    ¡®It feels as if something is being pulled away from the beasts.¡¯ Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness astutely sensed that the dark ability had rapidly sucked out the Drakocrocs¡¯ life energy. Not only that but his absorption ability had assimted with the death ray and pulled the beasts¡¯ life force straight into Qin Feng¡¯s energy core.

    Qin Feng finally discovered the true essence of the absorption ability.

    It was not about absorbing after the target had been killed or weakened but the root of this ability which was able to absorb all the time, provided that it was being used together with the dark ability.

    He only used five minutes to exterminate the five Drakocrocs without going through any battle. It was unimaginably easy.

    ¡®No wonder many have said that ability users could kill with gaze alone.¡¯

    All he had expended was his consciousness and runes. There was no movement, no action, and no contact.

    Qin Feng enjoyed the overwhelming power he owned.

    ¡°Let¡¯s move on,¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Bai Li stayed close behind him.

    They marched on through the snaky path inside the cave and bumped into different Drakocroc herds every now and then.

    Undoubtedly, the energy on this ind was richer than the outside world¡ªabout two times the usual level. Hence, in rtive terms, it was six times more powerful than that found on earth.

    Once the threat here had been cleared, training here for one year was equivalent to training for six years on earth. Who would not want toe to such a resourceful training ground?

    ¡®Perhaps I can im this ind in the future.¡¯

    Bai Li had noted down the waymark but this ind still belonged to Leitang at the moment.

    He might provoke Leitang if he were toe and go freely.

    Actually, soon his power would outgrow this ind and training here would not help him advance significantly. His intention was to let his underlings from Fengli benefit from it.

    Nheless, it was still too early to think about this right now.

    Finally, something different caught Qin Feng¡¯s attention.

    It was a human figure!

    More urately, it was human skeletal remains.

    Qin Feng paced toward it hastily.

 Chapter 224 - Treasure Hunt in the Cave

    <h4>Chapter 224: Treasure Hunt in the Cave</h4>

    The deceased was found in a corner. Burnt marks were seen on the skeleton.

    He or she must have been killed by a fire-type ability.

    However, his wear did not decay with time, and was still glimmering vibrantly.

    ¡°The product of advanced civilization!¡± Qin Feng was astonished by the clothing.

    Sadly, after all these years, the corpse had been utterly ruined in this Drakocrocs nest. Qin Feng could find limited clues from it.

    He flipped the skeleton and found an erged key hanging on a grey ne. Intrigued, he picked it up and immediately realized what it was for.

    The key was a spatial button¡ªA standardized spatial runic equipment owned by the advanced civilization.

    This was unlike the spatial equipment found on earth. Due to limited raw materials, the spatial equipment on earth usually came in different shapes and sizes.

    As for the advanced civilization, they had a strict standard over the production of the spatial button to ensure that it would not copse from the inside. Qin Feng had encountered such an item in his past life only after he had reached C-tier.

    In this life, he obtained it much earlier.

    Qin Feng pulled out the ne, then he infused his consciousness into it. The space in it housed several weapons, some life necessities, as well as notes.

    But naturally, those notes were not usable on earth.

    ¡®There¡¯s twenty cubic meters¡¯ space in here!¡¯ He was surprised by the scale of the storage space.

    This spatial button alone would be worth 100 million.

    ¡°There must be more. We should keep going!¡± Qin Feng walked on. Bai Li was enthused too by the discovery.

    After following Qin Feng for so long, Bai Li understood that fighting or killing was not necessarily the only way to be stronger.

    You could also buy it with money.

    In Bai Li¡¯s distant memory, her mother seemed to live in a more barbaric era as she was constantly brawling and battling.

    They explored the cave as if they were treasure hunting.

    Along the way, Qin Feng swiftly killed any Drakocrocs that appeared in their path.

    ¡°That¡¯s darkglow herb!¡± Qin Feng saw a faint light appear in the dark and eximed.

    ¡°What¡¯s that? It looks pretty!¡± Bai Li asked excitedly.

    ¡°Allow me.¡±

    Qin Feng unsheathed his Verdant Emperor Saber and cut through the air.

    The herb immediately sensed the danger and retaliated by turning its leaves into flying razors. However, any form of counter-attacks was futile in the face of Qin Feng¡¯s great internal force.

    Schwaff!

    His saber sliced through the herbs, cutting them into half. Only the roots were left behind, and the glimmer of the herbs gradually faded away.

    Qin Feng stepped forward and picked up the leaves. Only the ball-shaped, dandelion-seed-like part was useful.

    ¡°This is a valuable item. It provides the user night vision after consuming it. This is very useful for a lot of people.¡±

    Qin Feng himself had disyed just how advantageous it would be to be able to see in the dark. He was not blinded by it and had no fear even when there was no light. No beast could harm him in darkness.

    It was truly a precious ability every aptitude user dreamed of.

    A single darkglow could be sold for 2 million. Qin Feng harvested an entire patch with at least a few hundred effective parts. He was not going to let such easy money slip away.

    ¡°Let¡¯s continue.¡± Qin Feng was electrified by what they had found so far.

    These hidden treasures were supposed to be discovered by the mayor of Sea City. In this life, it all belonged to him.

    They went deeper and found more herbs that grew only in a dark and humid location. He harvested all of them. Besides, they also bumped into several other corpses but not every one of them had a spatial button with them. Their bodies had also been trampled into dust after all these years.

    Even so, Qin Feng still managed to collect four spatial buttons. Those were great acquisitions!

    They did not stop moving and eventually, they came into contact with a tremendous aura.

    Qin Feng reflexively held his breath.

    It was an aura from a beast king.

    Snore...

    Its exhtion created a small gust inside the narrow cave.

    ¡°Be careful not to expose your presence,¡± Qin Feng whispered.

    Bai Li nodded and retracted her aura.

    The meeting of two beast kings would onlye down to one possibility¡ªfight! Bai Li usually did not expose her power but it would not go unnoticed in front of another beast king.

    ¡°I will approach alone. You hide in here and don¡¯t make any sound,¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bai Li nodded.

    Qin Feng wrapped himself in total darkness and moved like a silhouette. He got to take a full view of the inside after passing through a stctite cave.

    The area spanned asrge as a football field. It might berger since part of it was immersed under seawater.

    In the middle of this field, a giant creaturey there silently.

    As Qin Feng grew more powerful, the monster he encountered also got nastier.

    This was thergest beast he had met after rebirth. Its size even surpassed that of the Steel-limb Broodmother. The beast was thirty meters long and fifteen meters wide. This was an underestimation as the monster was currently curling up in a sleeping position.

    The Drakcroc beast king!

    Its paw was alreadyrger than Qin Feng. That was truly a magnificent yet horrifying scene.

    A lot of shattered bones were found beside the beast. Those belonged to the sea creatures, judging by the shapes. Unfinished meals, bones, furs, and scales were piled up like a smallndfill.

    Qin Feng also noticed a lot of human bones at the corners of the cave. His breath thickened.

    He was not daunted by the beast king. He actually did not mind fighting it. However, his main goal was to aplish this treasure hunting in silence. Qin Feng did not want others to be startled by the noise of him fighting the beast king.

    Qin Feng, who was camouged in the dark, used the pulling force of Asteroid Assimtion to stick onto the wall. He slid down the cave quietly.

    Hended near a few bodies. High-tech guns were seen hanging around them.

    Qin Feng began plundering. One after another, spatial buttons fell into his hands. He even found several password-locked chests among the bodies.

    They were of medium size and were arranged in an orderly fashion beside one another. One of them was opened.

    Coming into his sight werepressed energy tokens that looked like crystalline coins.

    ¡®Power credit!¡¯

    Qin Feng dide across this currency before. The rift, despite devastating, had also provided humans with much novel knowledge and technology after the end times. That was how humans had learnedpression technology. The energy cube created by humans was one cubic centimeterrge and had no carvings on it.

    On the contrary, the tokens in front of him were simply a masterpiece.

    Undoubtedly, this was going to be worth a lot of money.

    He had never heard about Lei Chen obtaining something like this before he was reborn. After all, all Qin Feng heard were just rumors and blind guesses. Nobody other than Lei Chen would have known the true nature of the treasures he had found on this ind.

    No one, that was, until Qin Feng barged in and hijacked his fortune.

 Chapter 225 - Exposed

    <h4>Chapter 225: Exposed</h4>

    Qin Feng retrieved the boxes and stored them into his own spatial equipment. He put some into the newly-acquired spatial button when his own was fully loaded.

    He was jubnt with the loot he had found.

    ¡°That should do it.¡± Qin Feng decided to call it a day.

    It was three in the morning. Qin Feng decided that they should return to the camp now. They could always revisit the caveter so there was no rush to bring everything out tonight.

    Qin Feng retreated out of the cave, and his consciousness found Bai Li immediately. She was busy harvesting herbs around the area. This was a truly rewarding trip for them.

    To many others, this was just an uneventful night.

    The next morning, aptitude users were woken up by chirping sounds and immediately went into defense mode.

    They knew another round of crisis had just begun.

    They might have worked together during the night but that did not mean that they wererades now. Everyone was being wary of each other. The situation was tense as fights might erupt at any time.

    Some groups began to n their next move.

    ¡°I thought Drakocrocs hunt during the night? Why on earth did they disappearst night?¡±

    ¡°Darn! Does that mean we can¡¯t move around during the day?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s better to go out in the dark. Though it¡¯s more dangerous, at least it¡¯s better than being eaten alive by the crocs.¡±

    ¡°I still think it¡¯s better to move during the day. Everyone needs rest. We have one less thing to worry about if we rest when those Drakocrocs are inactive.¡±

    Last time, a few fearless users had gone out for an expedition during the night like Qin Feng.

    Though they did encounter other mutated beasts, they did not meet any Drakocrocs.

    Some had even returned to the beach they disembarked from. Nothing was seen there during the night.

    The giant w marks of the Drakocrocs had also vanished, washed by the waves.

    No wonder they did not notice any beasts tracks earlier.

    ¡°Should we move during the night as well?¡± Han Jian was contemting like the others and asked Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng threw the question back to him, ¡°Do you think we are afraid of the crocs?¡±

    Han Jian was momentarily stunned. Chi Long, on the other hand, was beaming with confidence.

    ¡°Why should we be afraid? It¡¯s our chance to harvest the valuable herbs on this ind. We will have lesspetition if other groups dare not move out during the day.¡±

    The five of them departed from the makeshift campsite without dy. It was another day of exploration, looting, and constant battling.

    The ind was rather huge. Once the group had scattered, they probably would not bump into anyone if they were to carefully avoid other aptitude users. After all, there were only less than a hundred people inside the ind now after the tragic incident yesterday.

    In the following days, Qin Feng fought alongside Han Jian, Chi Long, and Lin Wuyi during the day, while continuing his visit to the cave to loot for more treasures during the night. Qin Feng even collected the skins and bones leftover.

    Such a peaceful routine was broken on the fourth day.

    That night, the atmosphere inside the campsite was unusually edgy.

    Qin Feng and co. always returned thetest as they couldst the longest in the wild. They immediately realized the alertness and suspicion among the users.

    ¡°Let me go and ask,¡± Han Jian said. Most aptitude users around Chengyang City knew him so it was not difficult for him to get some information.

    ¡°I will go too.¡± Chi Long walked into the crowd as well. He was an aptitude user from Fu City and actually knew more people than Han Jian.

    They returned not long after.

    ¡°Apparently, someone has discovered a passage that leads to the underground of this ind. The energy in there is even richer. He also found a darkglow in there but it had clearly been harvested. They are now specting that someone among us went in first but remained quiet about it.¡±

    Qin Feng put on a poker face, while Bai Li yed with the thing in her hand inattentively. He was determined not to reveal any signs of distress in front of them.

    These people did not have the slightest idea about the richness of the treasure hidden down there. Otherwise, they would have died out of jealousy.

    ¡°Is it reliable? Perhaps it¡¯s another trap set up by the Dark Coalition?¡± Qin Feng diverted the me toward the Dark Coalition.

    Han Jian shook his head. ¡°Unlikely. They found the ce as a group and split up to explore the cave. When they met back at the rendezvous point, the darkglow was gone. The group suspected that the aptitude user had stolen it so he ran away before the infighting escted, and broke the news to others afterward.¡±

    A typical selfish act. He would not allow his team members to earn the fortune if he did not get a piece of it.

    This message clearly benefited those who initially had no knowledge of such a hidden passage.

    Moreover, the aptitude user swore that he had not taken any darkglow. This only meant that someone had gotten in there earlier and already looted most of the treasure inside.

    That was the reason for the tension. They were currently suspecting everyone around them.

    Unbeknownst to them, they had guessed it right. That despicable thief was none other than Qin Feng!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and have a look tomorrow,¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Sure!¡± Chi Long responded, ¡°We are talking about darkglow! This nt usually grows inrge patches. We are going to be very rich if we find any in there.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s team was not the only one excited to try their luck. Those from the Dark Coalition that had infiltrated the group also felt that this might serve them a good opportunity to strike.

    No other ce was more strategic than the narrow and dark underground cave for assassination.

    The next morning, every team woke up and rolled out much earlier than the past few days. They all headed to the same destination¡ªThe cliff on the east side of the ind.

    Some teams had already begun the descent. There was still mistrust between different parties, so obviously, they were not going to cooperate.

    As if they had rehearsed this, the teams went in one after another. The first party that entered was led by Tyrant. He was the strongest aptitude user among them. Besides, he still garnered substantial respect from the rest due to his affiliation with Wanzhong. His team had three other members¡ªOne also from Wanzhong while the other two were his acquaintances from Sea City.

    They jumped down the cliff swiftly. After they were gone, another group appeared out of the woods and did the same.

    There was a wind-type ability user in this group.

    ¡°Nimbus!¡±

    The dense cloud shrouded the three of them and carried them downward.

    This was when a horrible shriek came out from inside the cave. Along with the shriek was the growling of a beast. Following that was the sound of rocks falling.

    Tyrant was then seen dashing out from the caves in a panic. He infused his legs with internal power and sprinted on the sea surface.

    Behind him, one after another giant figure emerged from therge caves.

    ¡°Howl!¡±

    It was Drakocrocs!

    Those groups still on top of the cliff could clearly see the Drakocrocs swarming out from the caves.

    The beasts immediately saw the descending group.

    Boom!

    One of the beasts leaped into the air, aiming its mouth at the wind-type ability user.

    ¡°Scram!¡±

    The ability user explosively activated his ability and unleashed a series of cyclone des. Though the fierce winds did slice open the Drakocroc skin, it failed to stop the beast¡¯s advance.

    The mouth of the Drakocroc was right in front of his eyes.

 Chapter 226 - The Great Army of Drakocrocs

    <h4>Chapter 226: The Great Army of Drakocrocs</h4>

    There was distrust among the E-tier aptitude users as they were not initially from the same team.

    Hence, the two aptitude users used the opportunity to escape from the control of the ability user and fled.

    Though he was momentarily stunned, the ability user quickly came to and casted a powerful ability.

    ¡°Reversed wind force!¡±

    The ability user flew up to the sky along with the strong wind, and was able to dodge the attack from the Drakocroc.

    However, those two that had escaped did not havedy luck on their side.

    As Drakocrocs began to crowd the bottom of the cliff, the ancient warriors were restricted to running on the sea and were not able to fly into the skies. Tyrant had been able to do so because of his perfect exit timing, boosted by his powerful internal strength and fast speed, however, this ancient warrior had missed the perfect chance to escape.

    Drakocrocs began to swarm out from the cave, there were hundreds and thousands of them.

    Ssh!

    Pow!

    The ocean was stirred up as the Drakocrocs dived into the waters at high speed.

    The ancient warriors were being hunted by an insane number of Drakocrocs, and were instantly surrounded.

    ¡°Ahh!! Save me, quick!¡± The ancient warrior shouted in shock and anger, but the wind ability user had already flown far away, ignoring him.

    The other gunner who wore gliding wings at the back had already arrived back at the cliff, while he was still trying to calm himself down from the intense moment, he also felt fortunate that he was able to escape.

    Despite expending all of his energy, the ancient warrior was still unable to escape his fate from being massacred by the Drakocrocs.

    Indeed, there were too many Drakocrocs that had gathered in the sea.

    Although it was known that the vast area around the ind was crowded with Drakocrocs, the number was still beyond estimation.

    There were tens of thousands of them.

    If it were to bepared with those that were seen from the beach, it was just the tip of the iceberg.

    As the Drakocrocs submerged under the sea, the yellow sun rose gradually from the horizon and blew away the cool breeze of the night.

    ¡°Gulp!¡± Chi Long tried very hard to swallow his saliva.

    It was a surprise for him to witness such arge pack of Drakocrocs leave the area, and there were even about dozens of beast generals.

    If such a massive army of ultra beasts were to attack the city, nobody could ever defend against it. However, it was fortunate that they only existed within the spatial rift and none of them had entered earth.

    The realm was ruled by the ultra beasts.

    Soon, the wavy sea began to calm down, however, everyone was still fearful of going into the sea!

    Tyrant looked furious as he had lost three of his team members, then, he joined forces with the very same ability user that approached him and they formed into a team.

    ¡°Let¡¯s move!¡± Qin Feng revealed himself from their hidden spot without much hesitation.

    There were tens of thousands of Drakocrocs hidden in the underground cave, however, it was their nature to leave the area during the day. As such, the area was still safe for the moment.

    Chi Long, Han Jian and Lin Wuyi followed Qin Feng instantly, and throughout the days of battle that they had, they had already adapted to be responsive toward Qin Feng¡¯s orders.

    Qin Feng arrived at the edge of a cliff, he wrapped his arm around Bai Li¡¯s waist and took a leap forward, while his internal strength filled his entire body, and formed into a bouncy repulsive force. After a few leaps, they arrived at the entrance of the cave.

    Han Jian followed the same way behind Qin Feng.

    Whereas Chi Long was equipped with gliding wings, an essential escape tool that most gunners would have.

    Lin Wuyi raised his hand and pointed toward the ground, a giant vine sprouted from the ground and wrapped itself around his body. Using the vine, he swung downward smoothly. It was a rather safe and steady methodpared to the others.

    As soon as all five of them had gathered, they disappeared into the cave while the others quickly followed, casting out their abilities and leaping from the cliff to jump into the cave. It was as if they were afraid of being left behind.

    The cave was extremely massive in size, despite spending three consecutive nights in it, Qin Feng had still yet toplete his exploration in the surroundings of the giant caves where the Drakocroc beast king had stored its valuables.

    However, the outer part was already surprising enough for the others.

    Qin Feng took the paths that he had never discovered before, as such it was full of valuable loot.

    As there were no battles that took ce, the loots were divided equally, and Qin Feng did not care much about those either!

    ¡°Darkglow herb, we have found it, although there are only eight of them, it is still an easy ten million reward!¡± Han Jian let out a blissful smile!

    Qin Feng remained unbothered as he thought about the hundreds of Darkglow herbs that were still in Bai Li¡¯s space, and he thought about renting them in the underground garden once he got back.

    ¡°Dragon trail grass! This is it!¡± Chi Long carefully plucked down a bunch of dragon trail grass as it was incredibly effective in enhancing physical speed.

    ¡°I would like all the dragon trail grass, and I will not take anything else that we might findter, deal?¡±

    ¡°No problem!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t need this!¡±

    The others were agreeable to the deal while Qin Feng had noments as well, they were merely the half-grown nts from the Drakocrocs, and Qin Feng had more than twenty of them in his space. Furthermore, those that were from the cave of the Drakocroc beast king would be more effective as they wererger in size.

    They had more discoveries and loot as they moved further in.

    Throughout the short period of the expedition, both Han Jian and Chi Long had umted 20 million worth of wealth each, and the huge amount of money would definitely increase their capabilities tremendously.

    Furthermore, as they had trained within the ind that was abundant in energy, they were also able to improve much fasterpared to when they were in the outer world.

    The others might not be as lucky as them!

    ¡°Damn, stone flower, this must be a stone flower, it has been removed!¡±

    ¡°Leaves from the water cave pine, somebody must have been here, who could be the lucky one to have found this rare water cave pine!¡±

    ¡°Damn, leap fruit has been taken, who could have taken the best wooden spirit herb away from me!¡±

    Everyone clenched their teeth in anger as they were unable to stop other people from entering before them and those people had looted everything, there was nothing that they could do to recover those items.

    They could only feel jealous about it.

    Some teams had even rushed directly toward the centre of the ind without paying much attention to the search along the way as they were aiming for the main gathering spot of the Drakocrocs, surprisingly, they were able to identify the Drakocrocs¡¯ir.

    At the moment, their was empty as the beast king had gone out to hunt for food.

    The ground was scattered with all sorts of items that seemed to be worthless for Qin Feng, however, in the eyes of the others, they were all precious treasures.

    ¡°Quick, grab them!¡±

    ¡°This is a rare one, the skin of the sea beast!¡±

    ¡°Haha, with this, and a little extra top-up, I will be able to afford an E-tier blue equipment!¡±

    Most of the aptitude users were not the same as Qin Feng, as purple and silver rune equipment were rare items for them.

    Some of the E-tier aptitude users might have to save up for years in order to afford such equipment.

    Therefore, those resources were extremely valuable for them!

    However, they were not the only lucky ones, as there were also others that had noticed the same resourceful centre spot and gathered around.

    Within the blink of an eye, the cave was already crowded with three teams that had more than ten people in total.

    They were paying close attention to the others, and as they moved around with high speed, they were also preparing for any possible battle.

    At that moment, any wrong move would result in an intense battle!

 Chapter 227 - Death Caused by Wealth

    <h4>Chapter 227: Death Caused by Wealth</h4>

    Visibility within the cave had been limited by the dark surroundings, those who did not have darkglow could also channel their internal strength into their eyes to view in the dark, however, it would only work within the radius of not more than thirty meters. Gunners who had infrared scanning were checking on everything to ensure that nothing valuable would be missed.

    ¡°Oh my, silver pearl!¡±

    The shout had alerted everyone in the surroundings.

    The silver pearl was about thirty centimetres in size, and it could possibly breed pearls that were the same in size as a grape.

    Each one could easily thirty million!

    If they were still alive, how could it be possible for the E-tier aptitude users to resist the temptation to keep and grow them?

    Furthermore, there were at least a dozen of them! Most of them were goods that were brought back when the Drakocrocs came back from their hunts.

    The aptitude user immediately reached out toward the silver pearl with hands.

    Boom!

    A deafening gun shot was heard.

    Valuable goods would attract anybody, wealth could be the cause of human death, and the same went to birds that died for their food; the moment of brutal massacre had begun!

    ¡°Do you wanna die?!¡±

    ¡°You shall die today!¡±

    ¡°Scram, bastard!¡±

    The crowd had sunk into a chaotic battle.

    Loud noises echoed within the cave and were heard by many in the surroundings, some identified the origin of the noise and tried to hide from any trouble that mighte forward, while some headed toward the noise as they thought that there might be something valuable that had caused the battle.

    However, it was at that moment, those who were involved in the battle did not notice the abrupt wave that was rising from the seas as they were in the midst of the chaotic gunshots, a gigantic creature leaped up from the other end of the cave and rushed toward those who were in battle.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    Once again, the crowd screamed in immense fear.

    ¡°Beast king!¡±

    The Drakocroc King flung away a giant beast general shark that was being dragged in by it and rampaged forward with its massive body. Everyone in the surroundings was like small ants that would easily die from a single stomp from the Drakocroc King.

    Any normal Drakocroc would recognize human beings as their food source, as for the beast king, it would not even pay heed to the existence of human beings. However, the beast king had a great sense of control over its own territory, and it was a disrespectful provocation for the human beings to cause such chaos in the surroundings.

    The ughter had begun!

    Without even any time to react, some of the aptitude users had already been ttened into minced meat.

    ¡°Run, run quickly!¡±

    ¡°Take this!¡±

    An ability user defended with onest attack before his demise.

    ¡°Earthfall!¡±

    Boom!

    The ground immediately turned into spiralling whirls of sand that was pulling the body of the Drakocroc King down, trying to swallow it whole.

    However, with limited conscious energy from the ability user, the pit formed was a mere fifty meters in depth. The Drakocroc King began to struggle and tried to free itself from being swallowed.

    ¡°Boulder Dragon Style!¡±

    Before it could escape sessfully, the ability user casted out another ability that formed into a gigantic dragon with eastern features, and it wasparable with Qin Feng¡¯s fire dragon, the boulder dragon rushed toward the Drakocroc King with its massive body that was formed from solid boulders.

    The Drakocroc King was once again forced backward.

    However, this attack had ultimately enraged the Drakocroc King.

    The beast king widened its jaw and crunched down on the approaching boulder dragon.

    Crush!

    The boulder dragon was instantly crushed into pebbles and its body shattered all over the area.

    Poof!

    The ability and the conscious energy of the ability user were forcefully sucked out and devoured, his mental strength suffered a heavy blow as blood spurted out from his mouth.

    ¡°Master Fang, I¡¯ll get you out of here!¡± A loud roar was heard as a chain of shackles was tossed out from the person¡¯s hand, pulling the ability user away, then they flew up to the top of the cave from where they had entered.

    Everyone else was panicking and running to save themselves.

    The massive body size of the Drakocroc King had prohibited it from entering into the smaller caves, hence, they were fortunate enough to escape from death.

    Master Fang¡¯s conscious energy had been severely damaged and was unable to remain conscious, however, right after being saved by the person, a dagger shed across and cut through his throat!

    ¡°Haha, Master Fang, every man for himself, the devil takes the hindmost!¡± The person guffawed wildly.

    Master Fang was obviously an overlord in his territory to be able to possess the Boulder Dragon Style, and he was definitely a rare and noble ability user with powerful capabilities.

    However, he did not expect to die in the hands of his own men.

    ¡°Liu Rui, you bastard!¡±

    A loud roar echoed in the surroundings as an assault of bullets rained down on the person.

    Liu Rui had to dodge and take cover before he could take off the spatial ring Master Fang was equipped with.

    Five people appeared from a corner.

    It was Qin Feng and the others.

    The noise from the battle had caught his attention and he was one of those who hade to check out the situation. However, he was surprised by the scene of the aptitude users being massacred by the returning beast king.

    There was even someone who was taking advantage of the chaotic scene.

    Liu Rui escaped, Chi Long did not go after him and he immediately looked toward Master Fang.

    ¡°Master Fang!¡± Chi Long shouted.

    Sadly, his throat had been shed clean through and his bones were snapped in half, the deadly attack from Liu Rui was merciless and had killed Master Fang!

    As Qin Feng was standing beside him, he was able to feel the activation of his absorption ability and the abundant conscious energy that was merging into his body.

    He was certainly an extremely powerful ability user, and since Qin Feng had not heard of the name before his rebirth, this was probably thest ce of his existence.

    It was a fate that was irreversible.

    ¡°Chi Long, this is not the ce for you to mourn, carry the dead body along, let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng spoke in a deep voice.

    Chi Long clenched his teeth and nodded, the dead body was kept into his spatial rune equipment. The spatial rune equipment of the deceased was unable to be ced into his own, hence he passed it over to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Master Fang is an elder in Fu City, although I will bring the dead body back, being part of this team, I should not take all of the loot just because of my own personal emotions, let¡¯s go now!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and remained silent, reality was ruthless, even on a great and powerful person. That said, it was fortunate enough that he had died in one piece. As for the wealth that was umted throughout his entire lifetime, the descendants might not be able to keep them secure, it might even bring unnecessary problems.

    There were still aptitude users that were unable to escape from the cave. Some were even hoping that the others would not be able to make their way out and keep the Drakocroc King busy so that they could take the chance to save their own lives!

    At that moment, everyone had different opinions.

    ¡°This is a rare opportunity to take down the beast king while it is stuck inside, the rewards will be extremely valuable!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, this is our time to take action!¡±

    There were a few people who were dressed casually and had aptitude user badges on their chests. They looked totally different from the others.

    It had a blood-red bat shape on it.

    These were the people from the Dark Coalition.

    Bloodthirst Organization!

    It was a rather small-sized organization that only recruited strong and powerful members, there were four of them that had appeared.

    Yuan Han, a merciless E4-tier ancient warrior that would not hesitate to kill, and one of the butchers from the Three Cities that shared the same name as She-Wolf.

    Wu Ze, a genius E3-tier gunner that specialized in manufacturing, modification, experiments, and had even reced half of his body into machines that boosted himself with insanebat power.

    Guo Xing, an E4-tier gunner who specialized in high-impact giant bombs, and was also highly skilled in explosives.

    Sheng Zhenyu, an E5-tier metal ability user, the most powerful among all.

 Chapter 228 - An insane move

    <h4>Chapter 228: An insane move</h4>

    Every smaller sized colony was fearful of the presence of the four aptitude users.

    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s move now!¡±

    Sheng Zhenyumanded, he was the leader of the team of four, and also a metal ability user.

    ¡°About time!¡±

    Wu Ze seemed to be very excited as he instantly took out all sorts of machines and began to assemble them at high speed, it was as if his hands had faded into shadows.

    Guo Xing also began to take out machines to assemble handheld grenades that were about the size of a fist, and they were specially assembled to a chain with a spearhead as its front, then, it was ced onto a crossbow that had been set up by Guo Xing.

    It was obvious that the handheld grenades would travel along with the release of the spearhead from the bow.

    Wu Ze only used a short amount of time toplete his weaponry assembly, he casually pushed them forward to the entrance of the cave where the Drakocroc beast king was still raging on at some users that were still unable to escape.

    ¡°Hurry up, we do not want to miss this opportunity!¡± Sheng Zhenyu ordered.

    ¡°No problem!¡± Wu Ze sneered and replied, ¡°I am about to start now!¡±

    ¡°Me first!¡±

    Without any hesitation, Guo Xing took aim at the Drakocroc King and pulled the trigger.

    At the same time, his conscious energy was also injected into the arrow.

    Swoosh!

    The arrow shot out from the bow, carrying with it a long chain of handheld grenades.

    It was as if a rope was travelling through the air.

    While under the control of conscious energy, the rope circled around the neck of the Drakocroc King and was tightly wrapped around it.

    Roar!!!

    The Drakocroc King did not know what it was, but it began to roar and the instant reaction from it was to free itself from the rope that was entangled around it.

    Guo Xing seemed to be filled with excitement in the distance.

    ¡°Explode!¡±

    Boom!

    A thunderous explosion echoed in the surroundings as countless purple light rays surrounded the skull of the Drakocroc King.

    Thunderstrike Bomb.

    With such a powerful explosion from the bomb, even one of it would be sufficient to take down an E-tier ultra beast, and there were hundreds of them that had been specially prepared for the Drakocroc King.

    ¡°Awuu...¡± The Drakocroc King let out a blood-curdling screech.

    ¡°Die!¡± Wu Ze initiated another attack.

    Another deafening explosion was heard.

    A pitch-ck bomb was released from Wu Ze¡¯s cannon tube while his conscious energy controlled the bomb, targeting the Drakocrocs King.

    The beast king was alerted by the iing attack, and it was about to dodge from it.

    However, with the control of conscious energy, the effort of the beast king was in vain.

    Boom!

    The Drakocroc King¡¯s neck took the hit, it was the same spot where Guo Xing¡¯s attack had hit, and the bomb prated into the flesh of the beast king.

    ¡°Annihte!¡±

    Wu Zemanded, and an instant ck explosion was released.

    Unexpectedly, it was a Dark Energy Cannon.

    The entire body of the Drakocroc King was immediately engulfed in dark energy while its flesh began to deteriorate and dpose, it was as if it had instantly be an aged beast king.

    The Drakocroc King let out another howl.

    It was heavily wounded by the double-attack.

    However, the Bloodthirst Organization had underestimated the Drakocroc King!

    It red furiously at the cave where the attacks came from and began to rush toward it without any hesitation.

    Boom!

    A booming explosion was heard as the cave began to copse, and the crumbling ruins were about to fall onto the attackers.

    ¡°Oh no!¡±

    Everyone noticed that something bad was about to happen.

    ¡°Steel Barrier!¡± Sheng Zhenyu sted out metal abilities that formed into a small hut that covered all four of them.

    They remained unharmed by the copse.

    ¡°Later, dark energy will begin to invade and deteriorate its body, furthermore, the attack was on its neck, which is also closely located to its brain, it should not be a problem!¡± Wu Ze said.

    The others trusted Wu Ze and waited for their next move.

    It was at that moment, the Drakocroc King that was in the giant cave began to feel the severe deterioration that was taking ce in its body, and it was furiously enraged by it.

    ¡°Awuu...¡± A long and painful screech was heard.

    The deafening soundsted for about half a minute.

    Those who did not have strong conscious energy were severely affected by the sound, and they began to feel dizzy as their eardrums began to bleed.

    The thunderous voice had echoed and spread across the entire ind, and every part of the sea area was able to hear the summons of the Drakocroc King.

    ¡°This is bad!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s face darkened.

    Although Qin Feng and the others did not witness the attacks from the Bloodthirst Organization, they assumed that the loud explosions were from the gunners that tried to stop the Drakocroc King.

    However, the situation seemed to be far moreplicated than that.

    ¡°Leave now!¡± Qin Feng led the others and rushed toward the opening of the cave.

    However, they were deep within the cave and it would require at least half an hour to arrive outside.

    That amount of time would be sufficient for Drakocrocs from the entire ind to gather around.

    The Drakocroc King was summoning the other Drakocrocs with its loud roar.

    The call from the beast king was heard by Drakocrocs that were scattered all over the ind, including those that were hunting in the waters. Every Drakocroc had heard the calling that was filled with anger and sorrow, and they began to rush back in a rampage.

    Drakocrocs began to crawl up the cave and block off the entrance!

    The aptitude users who were about to escape were all shut in!

    ¡°No, retreat, quick!¡±

    ¡°No!¡±

    ¡°Save me!¡±

    Screams were heard as everyone was forced to retreat, or else, they would have to remain there forever.

    Qin Feng and the others were in the same situation.

    ¡°Fire Dragon!¡±

    Qin Feng equipped his Scarlet Fire w and instantly summoned his fire dragon.

    The fire dragon attacked and resisted the Drakocrocs¡¯ advance.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    One of the Drakocrocs was surrounded by mes and was instantly burned to death. However, the moment it died, it was immediately reced by those from behind.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his conscious energy and covered the entire cave with the Hellfire Carpet.

    The Drakocrocs began to take another route as they were surrounded by mes and were unable to break Qin Feng¡¯s resistance.

    As the Drakocrocs were born and bred here, they were naturally familiar with the interconnected routes within the cave, they were now right behind Qin Feng and the others.

    Ratatatat!

    Chi Long wildly fired his gun as he tried to stop the ultra beasts, within the small and restricted area, they would not be able to survive if the ultra beasts were to rush toward them all at once.

    ¡°This won¡¯t do, there are too many of them, we can¡¯t breach through!¡±

    Lin Wuyi¡¯s face turned pale when his conscious energy perceived the surroundings that were densely packed with Drakocrocs.

    The wilderness was always cruel and filled with unpredictable deaths.

    Qin Feng became worried, he knew that it would be an easy task for Bai Li to lead them outside, however, by doing so, her abilities would be exposed.

    Qin Feng would never want anyone else to witness Bai Li¡¯s ability!

    ¡°Retreat, back to the beast king cave!¡± Qin Feng shouted.

    The only way was to retreat and hope that the Drakocrocs would follow them in, and their density would then be reduced, only then, they would be able to ughter their way out.

    At that moment, retreating was the only way to move forward!

 Chapter 229 - Collective Teamwork

    <h4>Chapter 229: Collective Teamwork</h4>

    ¡°I¡¯ll cover the front, Bai Li, attack!¡±

    Qin Feng said with a deep tone.

    Bai Li did not give it a second thought before she unleashed a powerful attack.

    With just a gentle wave of her hands, a w mark appeared in mid-air, which instantly severed the Drakocroc¡¯s skull into pieces.

    Lin Wuyi and Han Jian stared in disbelief. They did not expect Bai Li to be this powerful.

    Although Chi Long had seen how strong Bai Li was, he had just discovered that after Bai Li had reached E-tier, she was way fiercer even when faced with the same E-tier ultra beast, but it was in no way bating a jot of the elegance she had shown during the battle against the Golden Queen Ant at that time.

    When Bai Li made her move, the Drakocrocs behind her were exterminated in just the blink of an eye. Qin Feng and his team then quickly retreated.

    There were many people who made the same decision as Qin Feng and his team. After all, it was way out of their abilities to stop the Drakocrocs¡¯ rampage.

    To make matters worse, there were now only sixty aptitude users inside the cave!

    Qin Feng quickly retreated back into the giant cave. It was at this exact moment that the four members of the Bloodthirst Organization thought that their chance was finally here.

    As they drew away their conscious energy, the steel barrier was disabled, and the four men began attacking the Drakocrocs once they had cleared out the cavern.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    The two gunners recklessly shot out bullets at the Drakocroc King¡¯s humongous body as if it was a living target.

    The Drakocroc King seemed to understand that it was at a disadvantage if things were to keep going on the way it was going. As it let out an earth-shattering roar, its body quickly began to shrink.

    Shapeshift!

    This was an art mastered by any beast king, otherwise their huge bodies would drag them behind and drain huge amounts of energy.

    Of course, the king had never seen a human being, nor did it understand the characteristics of this race. Therefore, he had never thought of shapeshifting into a human.

    At this time, aptitude users had appeared in the other passage, and there were Drakocrocs chasing after them.

    ¡°As expected, it was only a matter of time until it would shapeshift!¡± Sheng Zhengyu said coldly.

    The Drakocroc King did not wish to be killed here either, it tried to flee away at lightning speed.

    The other side of the cave was linked to the sea. As long as it was able to get there, there was no way these humans would be able to chase it down.

    However, now that the Bloodthirst Organization had given their everything, there was no way they would let it escape!

    ¡°Quick, chase after it!¡± shouted Wu Ze excitedly.

    ¡°It won¡¯t get away!¡± Sheng Zhenyu raised both hands.

    ¡°Metal Cage!¡±

    He unleashed his metal ability, and in the next moment, a huge metal railing quickly shot up in front of the Drakocroc King, blocking its escape.

    Boom!

    The railings were instantly knocked away by the Drakocroc King¡¯s humongous body.

    Although the Drakocroc King was weakened, it was still as powerful. It was clear that the previous attacks would not work now.

    ¡°Hmph! Let¡¯s see how long you canst!¡±

    Sheng Zhenyu unleashed his second skill, and a row of sharp nails emerged from the ground, piercing the king¡¯s feet with every step it took.

    ¡°Rawr!¡± The Drakocroc King bellowed in pain.

    When the Drakocroc ultra beasts heard the Dracokroc King¡¯s roar, they quickened their pace and rushed over to Sheng Zhenyu¡¯s side.

    It was then the other aptitude users were able to understand the situation right now.

    ¡°It¡¯s you guys? So, it¡¯s you people that provoked the king, do you have any idea that we¡¯re all surrounded by herds of Drakocrocs now!¡±

    ¡°Are you dumb? Don¡¯t get us into trouble if you wish to die!¡±

    ¡°The king is wounded? Kill, kill the king and we will make a fortune!¡±

    For a moment, there were anger, surprise, and a series of emotions that appeared. The sight made their hearts pound with excitement.

    ¡°Cut the crap and stop talking!¡± Yuan Han sneered as his body began to exude a murderous aura.

    A Drakocroc dashed toward him. With a huge de in Yuan Han¡¯s hand, he gave the beast a few mighty shes, cutting it into several pieces.

    And at that moment, Tyrant finally spoke up. ¡°No matter what happens, kill the king first. After all, these Drakocrocs are following the king¡¯s orders. Once the king dies, the other Drakocrocs would scatter in fear. If we don¡¯t fight now, we¡¯ll die here today too!¡± He said in a deep voice.

    And there was nothing wrong with what he had just said.

    When the Steel-limb Broodmother Queen died, many insectoids came just because they wanted to eat the queen¡¯s carcass so they could evolve.

    But the Drakocrocs could not devour its own kind to evolve. Once the king dies, the rest of the kind would fall apart, and it would make their escape easier.

    What was more, the king was wounded now.

    Everyone was thinking of ideas to gain an advantage in this situation.

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    All of them unleashed their strongest attacks all at once.

    They all wanted to kill the king.

    Such an opportunity was quite rare. Usually, beast kings were so strong that when humans encounter them in the wild, they would be killed in an instant.

    But now, there was strength in numbers.

    With more than sixty E-tier aptitude users, if they coordinated their attacks well, killing the king would not be a problem at all.

    Seeing that it was surrounded, the Drakocroc King roared again, this time its body had grown to be extremelyrge.

    Boom!

    With a ferocious blow, the ancient warrior who rushed up to fight the beast king was immediately knocked out of the way.

    ¡°Hold it back, quick!¡±

    The men in the back yelled their battle cries.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Tyrant went ahead and fought bravely at the frontline. He was one of the strongest, and his rune equipment was among the best.

    As soon as the ancient warriors went up, they were all knocked out by the Drakocrocs.

    In the end, there were around twenty ancient warriors left, but only three of them were able to hold on to the attacks.

    These three people were Qin Feng, Tyrant and Yuan Han.

    ¡°The others, stop the Drakocrocs!¡±

    ¡°Seal the cave entrances, don¡¯t let them in!¡±

    ¡°Look out, the beast general!¡±

    Their loud shouts shook the insides of the cave.

    Qin Feng and the others fought with incredible strength and resisted the king¡¯s attacks. On the other hand, the other ancient warriors could not intervene and all of them retreated, the only ones left were ability users and gunners.

    They began an all-out attack on the king.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Qin Feng swung his de and parried the Drakocroc King¡¯s attack, but it just was not enough.

    The clock was ticking, if they were not able to stop it, the ce would be flooded by the army of Drakocrocs.

    ¡°Phew!¡±

    Qin Feng took a deep breath, and the air around him became extremely murderous.

    The Drakocroc King stretched out its head just in time to repel Yuan Han¡¯s attacks, and Qin Feng seized this opportunity.

    He shed with his sword again.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    A blinding light emitted from the Verdant Emperor Saber in Qin Feng¡¯s hand, and Qin Feng¡¯s entire body seemed to have blurred out!

    In the next second, the Drakocroc King¡¯s neck was pierced straight through by Qin Feng¡¯s de. The humongous de shot up almost twenty meters into the skies.

    The Drakocroc King¡¯s head instantly rolled off to the side!

    Poof!

    The King¡¯s flesh was sted into mush and was tainted ck after being polluted by the dark energy. The severed neck began spouting out fresh blood, covering every inch of Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    Qin Feng felt a burning sensation all over his skin.

    ¡°Dragon blood!¡±

    Everyone then came to.

    The Drakocrocs blood contained a trace of dragon blood, and the dragon blood could be used to harden their flesh.

    The crowd instantly got excited.

    Yuan Han, who was knocked out into the air, was furious. Her re was deadly and her face was twisted with anger, the butcheress was enraged!

    The dragon blood was supposed to be hers!

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Yuan Han furiously attacked Qin Feng and tried to decapitate him!

    ¡°Get out of the way!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a low, growling roar as his hands burst with strong energy.

 Chapter 230 - Enemies at First Sight

    <h4>Chapter 230: Enemies at First Sight</h4>

    These people did not know each other.

    Although Qin Feng still had his Scarlet Fire w on his left arm, everyone thought that Qin Feng had it on so he could pair the equipment with the fire elemental technique he had just used.

    They had no idea that Qin Feng was a true ability user.

    Not only that, his abilities were not in any way inferior to his ancient warrior powers!

    The fire st sent Yuan Han flying backward.

    The alliance that was once established immediately fell apart. Everyone began to kill each other.

    ¡°That king material is mine!¡¯

    ¡°All of you die, you f*ckers!¡±

    ¡°Scram!¡±

    Everyone roared.

    The scene made everyone go crazy.

    At that moment, Tyrant too rushed into the midst of the dragon blood shower, but this time, Qin Feng did not stop him.

    ¡°Ahh!¡±

    Tyrant let out a miserable scream as the dragon blood blistered his skin.

    The dragon blood was very potent and strong, it was not easy to withstand the pain.

    ¡°shing Sword Dance!¡±

    Sheng Zhenyu was obviously furious, he did not expect to have the kill taken away by someone else after inflicting heavy wounds on the ultra beast. It seemed that it had been a while since anyone had enraged him to such an extent.

    Qin Feng and Tyrant heard the shing and twisting of metals. Then, hundreds of weapons appeared out of thin air and shot toward their direction.

    Seeing this, Tyrant did not have time to dodge the attack, and most importantly, it seemed that his body could no longer bear the intense burn from the dragon blood, and the pain was unbearable.

    ¡°Kid, if you manage to get me out alive, I¡¯ll owe you a favor!¡±

    As soon as he finished his words, silvery light enveloped all around him.

    Spatial waymark!

    Tyrant¡¯s body instantly disappeared, he had left this foreign space.

    Only Qin Feng remained to face the iing de attack.

    In the eyes of others, Qin Feng¡¯s death was inevitable.

    ¡°Huh!¡± Qin Feng scoffed. And in the next moment, mes soared all over his body.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    ¡°Roar...¡±

    The dragon cry shook the air. The fire dragon soared high up into the sky, its tremendous power made everyone tremble in fear.

    This dragon art was a technique that could only be learned by the top officials in the city. Or else, one could acquire this technique by exchanging it with their astounding wealth. No one would have thought that a young man like Qin Feng would actually possess a fire dragon technique.

    His previous zing Sky skill was already scary enough. Now, there was actually an even stronger one.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    Under the wrath of the fire dragon, every weapon that came close to it was melted in an instant. One could even feel the searing heat of the fire dragon¡¯s body from afar.

    ¡°Strike!¡± Qin Feng pointed at Sheng Zhenyu.

    Sheng Zhenyu¡¯s face changed dramatically.

    ¡°Steel Barrier!¡±

    The humongous steel barrier re-emerged once again.

    It might be able to stop the mountains from shaking, but in no way could it stop Qin Feng¡¯s fire dragon. Sheng Zhenyu was afraid that if he was locked up in the Steel Barrier together with the dragon, he would be roasted alive by Qin Feng, which was a simr fate to the Scaled Tiger beast general.

    As expected, he was not brainless after all. After summoning the Steel Barrier, he manipted his conscious energy like crazy, and metal runes began to spread in the air around him which grewrger andrger.

    ¡°Steel Giant!¡±

    He unleashed his ability, and a ten-meter tall giant emerged from the ground, punching Qin Feng¡¯s fire dragon right on the face.

    The two ability users shed, and their tremendous power force made others retreat as they were unable to intervene in the fight. They were also afraid to be caught up in the fight.

    ¡°Move, faster!¡± Sheng Zhenyu shouted.

    Wu Ze, Guo Xing and Yuan Han started to charge toward the Drakocroc King!

    For such a behemoth, even if they cut off a piece of its flesh, it would actually be worth a lot of money.

    However, the most valuable assets of the king were none other than the three main parts.

    They were the scales, skull and energy core of the Drakocroc King.

    But, the Drakocroc King¡¯s skull was a quarter of its entire body¡¯s length, which was almost as big as a small house. Even if they had a spatial runic equipment, the skull would still not be able to fit into it.

    The only other way was to disintegrate the skull into smaller pieces but they did not have the ability to do so.

    However, the energy core was different. The Drakocroc King¡¯s energy core was only the size of a basketball, so it could be taken away easily!

    ¡°Bai Li!¡± Qin Feng shouted.

    Bai Li began to move toward the king¡¯s carcass too!

    With just a lift of her hand, the Drakocroc King¡¯s head was loaded into her space. Everyone¡¯s jaws dropped as they watched on.

    They did not know about Bai Li¡¯s abilities, but they figured that Bai Li must have an oversized spatial runic equipment.

    If it could fit the head of a Drakocroc King, it must be at least five hundred square feet.

    The spatial runic equipment must be worth 1.5 billion yuan.

    Everyone was breathing heavily, they refused to believe it.

    ¡°Kill her!¡± Wu Ze was the first to go insane. For a gunner, no item would be as tempting as having a spacious spatial equipment.

    Ratatatat!

    A barrage of bullets was shot at Bai Li.

    ¡°How dare you underestimate others!¡± A voice was heard out of nowhere, and in the next moment, a terrorizing greenish poisonous gas enveloped Wu Ze and the others.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Wu Ze inhaled a mouthful of the poison gas, he felt dizzy and his vision was blurred.

    ¡°Die!¡± Chi Long aimed his gun at Wu Ze.

    A chaotic battle had begun.

    From where Qin Feng was currently standing, the Drakocroc King¡¯s blood had finally stopped spurting. Although Qin Feng still felt the blistering pain around his body, the pain was not as unbearable as the pain Tyrant had felt earlier.

    This was because Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength had exceeded that of an ordinary person by far too much.

    With such incredible strength, coupled with the death of the Drakocroc King and the activation of his absorption ability, Qin Feng¡¯s strength had finally advanced again on the eighth day of entering the ind.

    E2-tier.

    At this time, Yuan Han ran up the back of the Drakocroc King as she targeted its spine. She wanted to cut through the Drakocroc King¡¯s outer scale with her machete so she could steal the energy core!

    ¡°Get out of the way, it¡¯s mine!¡± Bai Li also ran up and mercilessly knocked Yuan Han down.

    Yuan Han was about to go nuts.

    After years of rampaging through the Three Cities, she had never felt so defeated before.

    Whether it was Qin Feng¡¯s or Bai Li¡¯s strength, they were so powerful that she stood no chance against them.

    Bai Li swung and shed with the Ceramic Saber in her hand at the Drakocroc King¡¯s spine.

    The white Ceramic Saber carried a faint spatial rune, enabling it to instantly slice through the Drakocroc King into two neat halves.

    As Bai Li kicked away the other half of the king, she swung with her Ceramic Saber again. A clear crystal the size of a basketball appeared in her hand.

    The king¡¯s energy core!

    Bai Li¡¯s satisfaction was evident, and she kept the energy core inside her space.

    Seeing this, the other aptitude users went even crazier. They gave up fending off the Drakocrocs and dashed toward Bai Li.

    Now, Bai Li was like a living treasure vault of tremendous value.

    ¡®If we kill her, we¡¯ll be able to skyrocket through the rankings!¡¯

    ¡®That¡¯s an E-tier beast king energy core!¡¯

    They had to work hard and save up for four to five years to even be able to afford one. Now that there was one in front of them, how could they not want to get their hands on it?

    ¡°If you don¡¯t wish to die, get out!¡± Qin Feng growled out a warning.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be so arrogant!¡±

    ¡°Who do you think you are? You don¡¯t think that I¡¯m powerful enough? Fine, none of you will leave this ce alive!¡±

    ¡°Kill him! He bought off a lot of stuff from the Wanzong auction, he must have some good stuff with him now!¡±

    Everyone let out their battle cries. They could feel their battle spirits growing inside.

    ¡°Get lost b*stards! Don¡¯t you all recognize him as the district governor of Fengli colony?¡±

    Han Jian roared.

 Chapter 231 - The Big Kill

    <h4>Chapter 231: The Big Kill</h4>

    Their eyes flickered for a moment, but the weapons in their hands did not stop swinging.

    In such a hectic battle, it did not matter who you were, it was kill-first-speakter policy.

    ¡°People of Fu City, listen to me just this once! If you do not wish to die, leave now! Or else, you¡¯ll suffer the consequences of your actions!¡± Chi Long shouted.

    Unfortunately, no one was bothered to pay attention!

    Qin Feng¡¯s deceiving calmposure masked his murderous intent.

    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, don¡¯t me me for not holding back!¡±

    Hellfire Carpet! Qin Feng unleashed his ability and he no longer cared about holding back for anyone. The Hellfire Carpet erupted and covered the entire cave in hellfire.

    ¡°Haha! This is awesome, there are toxic gasses everywhere!¡±

    Lin Wuyi, who was a gically modified beast general, had also unleashed his powers. He filled the air with deadly green mist.

    However, these were all E-tier aptitude users. No matter how powerful Qin Feng¡¯s abilities were, they were fearless. They gave in their every bit of internal strength, conscious energy and defensive runes as they dashed toward Qin Feng like a horde of madmen.

    Three ancient warriors synchronized their attacks on Qin Feng.

    ¡°Mountain Split!¡±

    ¡°Sword Kill!¡±

    ¡°Heavy Blow!¡±

    Their attacks came in one after the other.

    ¡°Don¡¯t bite more than you can chew!¡± Qin Feng sneered at them. As he was controlling the fire dragon that was duelling with the Steel Giant with his consciousness, he could still swing his Verdant Emperor Saber horizontally with his hand.

    ¡°Blooming me!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber struck the three ancient warriors who were within the saber¡¯s range.

    Clink clink clink!

    Their weapons snapped with a crisp sound.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was swung violently as it made numerous kills.

    The crowd was easily exterminated and swept away.

    ¡°Bunch of useless coyotes!¡± Qin Feng sneered. With just a wave of his Verdant Emperor Saber, he had decapitated a man.

    Poof!

    Blood spurted out of the headless neck and the person¡¯s head flew into mid-air!

    Qin Feng did not care which city the person was from, where they came from or if he recognized the person, all he knew was that everyone who dared to challenge him were all his enemies.

    All those who wanted to harm Bai Li had to die!

    After a while, Qin Feng had killed so many that his eyes were stained red with blood.

    In just a few moments, more than a dozen people had fallen to the ground, and their blood had soaked the ground red. Their bodies were quickly burned into a pile of ashes by the hellfire, including those living bodies that were nearby!

    On the ground, only a few rune equipment remained, some of which in particr were spatial rune equipment.

    Qin Feng used his conscious energy to bring all of the items into his arms.

    ¡°Your opponent is me!¡± Sheng Zhenyu roared.

    He was desperately forcing his consciousness to fight against Qin Feng¡¯s fire dragon, but Qin Feng even had the audacity and spare time to fight with the others, which was clear that he was underestimating Sheng Zhenyu.

    It was true that Qin Feng did not take him seriously.

    ¡°Get lost!¡±

    Qin Feng urged his fire dragon again, which was now strangling the Steel Giant.

    When both fire rune and metal rune collided, both were devolving, but fire triumphed metal. Even if Sheng Zhenyu was an E5-tier ability user, which was four tiers higher than Qin Feng, it still would not change the fact that Qin Feng was stronger. This was because Qin Feng¡¯s conscious power was far too strong.

    Qin Feng was an SS-tier gifted mortal.

    The metal runes were obliterated by the mass of mes, the searing heat had melted the Steel Giant into a pool of molten steel.

    ¡°Roar!¡± The fire dragon roared as it rushed toward Sheng Zhenyu.

    ¡°Metallize!¡±

    Since there was no way he could evade the attack, Sheng Zhenyu could only use his strongest defensive ability to turn his entire body into metal. The fire dragon spat and drowned him in fire.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    Sheng Zhenyu was dead!

    Like the Steel Giant, his body also melted into molten steel, and the leader of the Bloodthirst Organization of the Dark Coalition that had once terrorized the Three Cities had died in an unknown spatial ind.

    Qin Feng then rushed toward Sheng Zhenyu. On the ground, there was only broken rune equipment left, but amongst the equipment there were four spatial rune equipment!

    One of them was a spatial waymark!

    ¡°Rise up!¡± A booming voice erupted from a distance. The four spatial rune equipment was controlled as they moved toward the direction of the voice.

    It was Guo Xing!

    As a gunner, his ability to manipte his conscious energy was strong.

    However, he had just snatched food out of the tiger¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°So, you¡¯ve chosen death!¡± Qin Feng sneered as he instantly grabbed onto the four spatial rune equipment with his conscious energy and pulled them toward his direction.

    Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was far too powerful.

    These rune equipment were instantly in Qin Feng¡¯s grasp.

    Then, Qin Feng raised his left hand and pointed at Guo Xing¡¯s direction.

    Poof!

    A red beam shot out from his hand.

    ¡°Fire Beam!¡±

    The fire beam was as thick as a wrist, which was literally an energypression beam. The beam instantly prated through Guo Xing¡¯s body.

    Guo Xing stood still. His body was trembling, and when he looked down at his chest, he saw his rune equipment crumbling into pieces. There was a big gaping hole in his chest, with lighting through the other end.

    With just one move, Guo Xing was dead!

    The others were shocked by Qin Feng!

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    While the aptitude users were battling, the Drakocroc army had finally stormed into the cave inrge numbers, even the number of Drakocroc beast generals had reached up to ten.

    Bai Li did not idle around when Qin Feng was fighting. Bai Li used her tiny, tender hands to rip off the Drakocroc King¡¯s skin from its carcass that was cut into halves and rolled up for the ease of storage. Now, only some flesh and bones of the Drakocroc King were left!

    ¡°Retreat!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we can¡¯t stay any longer!¡±

    ¡°Run!¡±

    People were retreating in the other direction.

    However, it was clear that the Drakocroc army would not let them get away that easily. They began to pursue them relentlessly!

    During the battle earlier, quite a number of aptitude users had died. Qin Feng alone had killed more than ten of them.

    Now, there were only twenty or so aptitude users left!

    When faced with the big army of Drakocroc ultra beasts, they were not strong enough to resist the Drakocrocs¡¯ sharp fangs!

    ¡®If we keep on running, we¡¯ll die for sure! Forget about it, I¡¯ve already made about 100 million from this opportunity and I guess now is the time to stop, or else I might lose my precious life!¡¯ This was the thought of an aptitude user. He quickly infused his energy into a spatial rune equipment and the spatial waymark was already inscribed, he disappeared from his original spot. Then, there were seven or eight people that had done the same thing and left the ce.

    Now, there were only ten people left!

    Yuan Han and Wu Ze both looked at each other, both of them were thinking of retreating!

    ¡°Sooner orter, I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Yuan Han¡¯s re was murderous, she had not earned the title as the Butcheress for nothing. Even if she could not kill Qin Feng, she would still go to the so-called Fengli colony and kill everyone in it.

    ¡°Your name¡¯s Yuan Han? Don¡¯t even think about leaving!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered and walked toward Yuan Han.

    Yuan Han was quite famous, Qin Feng had heard of her name before his rebirth, and it was impossible that he would let go of the Butcheress.

    Otherwise, there would definitely be countless disasters in the future.

    ¡°Heh, if I want to leave, do you think you can stop me?¡± Yuan Han held a spatial waymark in her hand, and it was not an altered one, but one of the tickets obtained from the auction.

    Apparently, she had killed the person who had bought the ticket from the auction.

    It was just that, no matter how much energy Yuan Han infused into the ticket, it would not light up at all.

 Chapter 232 - A Deadly Comeback

    <h4>Chapter 232: A Deadly Comeback</h4>

    ¡°What¡¯s going on!¡± Yuan Han was enraged.

    ¡°You won¡¯t be able to leave unless I say so!¡± Qin Feng sneered and raised his Verdant Emperor Saber, ready to sh.

    Of course, it was not that Qin Feng would not let her leave, but spacemaster Bai Li was still here, and Yuan Han could only dream about leaving.

    ¡°Alright then, we¡¯ll fight!¡± Yuan Han roared, her internal strength had shot up into the skies and her scimitar was dancing in her hand.

    In Qin Feng¡¯s opinion, these were nothing more than just a disy.

    ¡°Impacting me!¡±

    The mes sted Yuan Han away as she tried to resist the rune with her internal strength, but in the next moment, she felt a deadly atmosphere around her.

    ¡°Awuu!¡±

    A Drakocroc had its jaw wide open, ready to chomp down on her.

    It was toote for her to dodge from the ferocious munch!

    Rip!

    The Drakocroc bit off both of her legs.

    ¡°Argh!¡± Yuan Han screeched in pain.

    In just the blink of an eye, her entire corpse had been eaten away by the beasts.

    On the other side, Lin Wuyi had also finished off Wu Ze. Wu Ze was now reduced to a puddle of corroded fluid, and all of his rune equipment was now in Lin Wuyi¡¯s hands.

    At this point, there were only a dozen aptitude users left to face the army of Drakocrocs.

    These people fought as they retreated. Eventually, they climbed up the other side of the huge cavern inside the cave.

    However, their position was at the direct opposite of where the exit was located, and it was even more impossible for them to escape sessfully.

    More importantly, there was no point for them to stay here any longer!

    It was just that they were faced with a dilemma.

    They did not prepare any spatial rune equipment.

    It was not that they did not have any. All of the people present were E-tier aptitude users, and they all had spatial rune equipment of all sizes. And they used them to hold items, but if they were to use them, everything inside would also disappear, which was simply something they could not bear with.

    The reason they came here was to make money, look for greater opportunities, acquire better quality spirit herbs and hunt for stronger ultra beasts.

    They could not ept having to end up losing all of it for nothing!

    ¡°Qin Feng, Mayor Qin, can you sell me one of your spatial rune equipment?¡±

    They had no choice but to beg Qin Feng for help.

    ¡°Yes, Mayor Qin, can you sell me one too? The smaller the better!¡±

    As the crowd was fleeing for their lives, they began to ce their hopes on Qin Feng.

    ¡°The price for a rune equipment now is different from the price from before. Since this is considered a life-saving equipment, 100 million for each person. Do you want it or not?¡±

    This was almost exactly the same price for the tickets.

    Everyone red at Qin Feng furiously.

    However, when they saw that Qin Feng was caught up by a Drakocroc, yet was able to take it down with just a few moves, they dared notsh out at him!

    ¡°Folks, if you¡¯re not going to buy it, then stop following me. Leave before it¡¯s toote for you. I¡¯m not that kind of man who would save you from a fire, so let¡¯s each go our own ways!¡±

    Trying to take advantage of Qin Feng was simply just a dream.

    In the ten years before his rebirth, Qin Feng did not lose the enthusiasm he had all along. At the same time, when he should be ruthless, he would never be merciful.

    One of the men clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth.

    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll pay!¡±

    ¡°Transfer the money!¡±

    That person added Qin Feng through hismunicator and transferred 100 million into his ount.

    When the others saw that, they no longer hesitated and transferred 100 million to Qin Feng too.

    Qin Feng now had too much spatial rune equipment anyway. He had at least more than twenty of those, and after he had hurriedly nced through everything, he picked out seven spatial rune equipment that were five or six meters in size and poured out all of its contents. Bai Li was by his side and she picked them up, putting the items into another space. After doing so, he handed over the emptied spatial rune equipment to the few buyers.

    These people had paid three or four times the original price to get the spatial rune equipment. Seeing that Qin Feng was so calctive, they felt like puking blood on his face.

    Whereas the raging Drakocrocs around them had not broken through Qin Feng¡¯s defense line.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, I¡¯ll never forget our meeting until I die. I hope that in the future, Mayor Qin will soar to great heights!¡± said one of the buyers sarcastically through gritted teeth. Although he was saying good things to him, he was actually trying to hide his anger after he was cheated off his money.

    Qin Feng pretended to have not heard anything, the edge of his lips curled into a smile.

    ¡°Likewise, have a safe journey back!¡±

    Then the man felt his chest tighten even more and his body was trembling with anger.

    However, he decided to walk away at that instant.

    This time, there were only five people, including Qin Feng, left in the underground cave.

    ¡°You guys should go ahead! I¡¯ll divide the beast king¡¯s loot after I tally them up!¡± Qin Feng said.

    The army of ferocious Drakocrocs were basically punching bags for Qin Feng. Seeing that, Chi Long and Han Jian also knew what Qin Feng was nning to do. Lin Wuyi had no opinions and just nodded. He had just killed Wu Ze and acquired his spatial waymark, so he gave the waymark a slight jolt and left the scene.

    Qin Feng handed two more equipment that were engraved with spatial runes to Chi Long and Han Jian, both of them left as well.

    After they were both gone, Qin Feng spread out his conscious energy, and the range of his powerful SS-tier divine eye of consciousness covered almost the entire underground cave.

    After making sure that there was no one else, Qin Feng put away the Scarlet Fire w that was on his left hand.

    He held the Verdant Emperor Saber in his right hand and went on a massacre!

    ¡°Now, it¡¯s my turn!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s insane internal strength surged out of his body.

    During the previous battle, others found it to be dangerous and perilous, but they were nothing to Qin Feng.

    His internal strength had increased exponentially as he absorbed the strength of the dead ancient warriors.

    Not only that, his conscious energy was enhanced once again.

    E3 tier!

    Now that the Drakocrocs were all inside the cave, Qin Feng intended to make a deadlyeback.

    Better yet, he would be finishing off these Drakocrocs in a single breath. Killing ten thousand of the beasts would be enough for him to advance to the next tier again!

    It was very difficult to ascend after E-tier, therefore only more fights could satisfy Qin Feng¡¯s needs.

    Soon, Qin Feng rushed back into the huge cave and the Drakocrocs had not scattered yet. They were venting out their anger by tearing up those people¡¯s corpses, while some of the beast generals were rolling and drenching themselves in the beast king¡¯s blood. They red at each other, as if they were going to start a fight among themunity.

    They were going to see which of them would be the next beast king!

    Unfortunately, it was not going to happen!

    ¡°Take away the Drakocroc King¡¯s carcass!¡± Qin Fengmanded.

    Bai Li instantly moved next to the Drakocroc King¡¯s carcass and lifted its arm. Then, the humongous body disappeared into a wisp.

    ¡°Roarrr!¡±

    The beast generals were enraged once again, they ran over to Bai Li and tried to tear her apart.

    In just the blink of an eye, Bai Li disappeared again.

    Looking at the violent mob of Drakocrocs, Qin Feng began to rev up his conscious energy.

    ¡°Light of Death!¡±

    With a blink, darkness enveloped the entire cave.

    While in the darkness, there seemed to be a huge ck spinning within the cave. It was like a ck sun, emitting a deadly light which further infuriated the Drakocrocs, but their life force was slowly drained away bit by bit until all of them had died.

    The Drakocroc kind went extinct!

 Chapter 233 - A Bountiful Harvest

    <h4>Chapter 233: A Bountiful Harvest</h4>

    A dayter, Qin Feng was sitting cross-legged inside the huge cave.

    ¡°Phew!¡±

    After taking a deep breath, Qin Feng opened his eyes.

    In his dantian, his internal force had reached the 33rdyer of sea clouds.

    After the chaotic battle, even if Qin Feng did not kill anyone, he would still be able to absorb the energy of the dead corpses. The absorption skill allowed him to absorb all of the internal strength of the dead corpses.

    As a result, when coupled with the internal strength from previous battles, Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength had once again advanced to the next tier.

    After absorbing the dark supernatural energy of the Drakocrocs, Qin Feng¡¯s physical body was strengthened and he had reached E3-tier!

    With this short exploration, Qin Feng¡¯s harvest was bountiful.

    The most crucial thing was his gain in terms of resources.

    For the one whole day they stayed behind, Qin Feng did not do anything else other than assisting Bai Li in picking up the dropped items, and they had collected around forty spatial runic equipment in that area.

    It was almost impossible to tally out the post-battle losses!

    After all, the items were scattered everywhere and there were just too many.

    But there was no doubt that the entire ind now had nothing valuable other than its ample spiritual aura.

    ¡°Bai Li, time for us to go back now!¡± Qin Feng said.

    With Bai Li, the spatial master here, there was no need for Qin Feng to waste two spatial runic equipment to make spatial waymarks. Moreover, Qin Feng did not n to return to where the other aptitude users were. He decided to return to Fengli colony.

    Taking a leap through space, Qin Feng and Bai Li had arrived at the mother mountain manor.

    ¡°Beep beep, beep beep.¡±

    Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯smunicators were vibrating like crazy.

    Once they had returned to Fengli colony, theirmunicators could not only tell time and act as detection devices, it could alsomunicate with other people. With the crazy vibrations, it was obvious that someone had sent him urgent messages.

    When Qin Feng turned on hismunicator, he saw that Chi Long, Han Jian and Lin Wuyi had all sent messages. Even the top officials of Fengli colony had inquired about his status.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, once you¡¯ve returned, leave that ce immediately. Sea City has changed, and now it is Lei Chen who¡¯s in power. Lei Chen was the one who sent out these spatial tickets, and now upon our return, he¡¯s forcing us to pay 200 million as a punishment. That son of a b*tch!¡±

    ¡°Mayor Qin, have you returned?¡±

    ¡°Mayor Qin, did something bad happen to you?¡±

    Everyone else was asking about his whereabouts.

    Qin Feng began to reply to their messages.

    ¡°Chi Long, I¡¯ve returned to Fengli colony and I¡¯ll send you a video of the loot I¡¯ve collected. Do you want the goods, or do you prefer payment through cash?¡±

    ¡°Lin Wuyi, return to Fengli colony!¡±

    As for the matter ofpensation that Leitang Organization and Lei Chen wanted as their punishment.

    Qin Feng let out a snort, it was none of his business!

    After all, Qin Feng had returned to Fengli colony. No matter how much authority Lei Chen had, there was no way he would be able to touch him here.

    After that, Qin Feng informed Fengli colony about his return, and if there was anything that needed to be done, they coulde to the manor to find him.

    However, Qin Feng still had more important things to do now.

    ¡°Xiao Bai,e on, let¡¯s nt everything we¡¯ve gathered!¡±

    ¡°Yay!¡±

    Previously, Bai Li wanted to build a garden so Qin Feng had hired people to change the water fountain into a flowing stream. Now, Qin Feng threw some natural energy cores he had obtained in the wilderness into the stream and ced a few living silver pearl shells in it. He also nted some herbs that he had collected.

    Other herbs such as darkglow that were found in the cave were nted in the garden in Qin Feng¡¯s backyard.

    Although these herbs could not prove its usefulness in such a short period of time, they were worthwhile investments that would be money trees in the future.

    Moreover, these nts would make the mother mountain¡¯s aura denser.

    In Fengli colony, Xue Xingfu was the first person to step into the manor. Other people had no business with Qin Feng, but Xue Xingfu was the one that Qin Feng called toe over.

    The chubby Xue Xingfu walked through the corridor and saw that Qin Feng and Bai Li had their hands full of dirt, like they were nting flowers.

    A young man does not know how to grieve!

    Xue Xingfu shook his head as he said, ¡°Mayor, you look soid-back!¡±

    It was obvious that his words did not match his real feelings.

    There was a bright smile on his face, but it quickly turned into dismay.

    ¡°These... Are these spirit herbs?¡±

    Qin Feng did not bother to bat an eye at Xue Xingfu. ¡°You think I¡¯mid-back? Remember to find me a wood ability user to take care of this ce for me. Don¡¯t let my nts die when I go out to train for half a month!¡±

    Bai Li was still nting with excitement as Qin Feng ushered Xue Xingfu to the main hall.

    ¡°How are the preparations for the underground ck market that I¡¯ve assigned for you to establish?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°It¡¯s already set up in a hidden ce, but...¡± Xue Xingfu wanted to stop talking, but he continued on, ¡°Will this work? Even if you want to make a name for yourself, you still require the goods!¡±

    The underground ck market established by Qin Feng could be found in many ces in the outside world, but in the Three Cities, no such ce existed.

    It was a ce to redistribute stolen goods without the fear of being found, and there was an advantage in terms of pricing where one would be able to snag items at a cheaper price.

    As for where the items came from, no one would ask about it.

    That was why it was called a ck market.

    That was because most of these items were probably obtained through killing people.

    In fact, this wasmon in the colonies built by dark organizations, but how much integrity did the members of these dark organizations have in them?

    After purchasing an item from them, they might kill you in just the blink of an eye. Then, they would resell the item again and your life savings would be spent in vain.

    Hence, such underground ck markets required a transparent identity to instil trust in their customers.

    Qin Feng did notck the identity, and trust was something that one had to amass, but as for the goods...

    ¡°Take a look at these. These items are not for the colony, they have been acquired through private transactions, and the ck market can get somemissions through these!¡±

    As Qin Feng was speaking, he threw hisbat backpack on the table.

    Xue Xingfu was puzzled.

    ¡°What good stuff do we have here?¡±

    How many good items can you actually stuff in abat backpack?

    When Xue Xingfu opened the backpack, his jaw dropped on the floor!

    This was a backpack full of spatial runic equipment.

    ¡°Mayor, Boss, whatever, I¡¯ll call you big brother, where did you get these?¡± Xue Xingfu was getting all excited. Such a big batch of rune equipment was equivalent to earning easy money!

    ¡°We¡¯re not just going to sell rune equipment, there is still other good stuff inside!¡±

    Seeing how excited Xue Xingfu had gotten, Qin Feng kindly reminded him.

    Xue Xingfu was still in shock. As he checked every rune equipment, he found out that there really were a lot of items inside the backpack.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll tally them up right away!¡± Xue Xingfu was simply fired up.

    After all, there were just too many items inside, and most of them were in bits and pieces!

    ¡°Go on then!¡± Qin Feng waved his hand and had the stoked Xue Xingfu take his leave. ¡°Remember, once the items are sold out, use all of the collected funds to acquire every single E-tier beast king crystal you can find!¡±

    ¡°Understood, Boss!¡± Xue Xingfu replied excitedly.

 Chapter 234 - Returning to Fengli

    <h4>Chapter 234: Returning to Fengli</h4>

    After that, Chi Long returned with the news, nning to directly im the money. On the other hand, Han Jian was still waiting for Qin Feng in Sea City and had no idea that Qin Feng had already gone back!

    He still suggested that swapping it for cash was a proper idea. After getting duped by Lei Chen, neither of them had expendable cash left!

    After all, if they were to ask for a return in the form of goods, Lei Chen would have undercut them and given only two hundred million worth of items.

    Qin Feng was the one with money, even with Lei Chen cheating everyone, Qin Feng had managed to cheat seven people in one go. These seven people were the ones who had lost their life savings.

    ¡°Taking into ount the Drakocroc King,bined with the other spoils, there¡¯s approximately three billion worth. We can split that up into three hundred million each, it was a pleasure working with you!¡±

    ¡°The feeling is mutual! Qin Feng, you¡¯re really impressive!¡± Han Jian replied.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I hope we¡¯ll work together again in the future!¡± Chi Long was also happy, after all it was quite fruitful this time.

    ¡°Alright!¡± Qin Feng replied to the two before paying Lin Wuyi three hundred million, and with that everything else was divided between those who were involved.

    After a day of adding things up, Xue Xingfu got arge number of people, including the senior management, to handle the auditing. After the amount had been calcted, even Qin Feng was surprised.

    ¡°Thirty four billion?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right! This is the number!¡± Xue Xingfu had not slept wellst night as he kept on staring at the number. When he was in Chengbei colony, he was involved in many types of business transactions but those were only around tens of millions. Even then, that was too much money for him to take out and he ended up having to settle using mortgages!

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s heart trembled as he stared at the total amount. Following Qin Feng was the way to go!

    Qin Feng returned to his senses and realized that this was actually considered a normal figure. He had taken more than forty pieces of spatial runic equipment. Not only that, some of the aptitude users were carrying rune equipment that was worth quite a lot, not forgetting those integrated spatial buttons.

    In fact, the spirit herbs that Qin Feng collected from the aptitude users had not even been ounted for yet, nor the boxes of power credits!

    In these few boxes, the number of power credits was somewhat scattered. Although some were missing, Qin Feng estimated that there were probably a million power credits in there.

    No, it was ten billion!

    From what they went through this time around, Qin Feng probably made a full profit of fifty billion yuan.

    This wealth was incredible.

    ¡®This should be enough for the crystal cores that will turn Xiao Bai into a D-tier beast emperor!¡¯

    Although he had a lot of money, raising a girlfriend with unlimited potential was extremely expensive.

    ¡°Boss, everything should be ready now. We¡¯re onlycking one tiny crucial item. Now, all we need is an eye-catching advertisement, and then the underground ck market can be set up!¡± Xue Xingfu said excitedly.

    Advertising?

    When Qin Feng heard the word, his expression darkened as he thought about the time Xue Xingfu used him to advertise Fengli colony.

    But now, Qin Feng had a good idea for an eye-catching advertisement.

    ¡°When I was on that foreign ind I killed quite a number of those Dark Coalition people, including She-Wolf, people from the Bloodthirst Organization and et cetera. I¡¯ve kept these people¡¯s heads and I was nning to go to a bounty hunter to collect the money. You can get some photos of them from the past and announced that I¡¯ve killed these people. Now that we can sell the things we got from them, there¡¯ll definitely be people who wille!¡±

    Fact of the matter was, Qin Feng did not only kill those from the Dark Coalition, he also took down someone from Chengyang City.

    Combat in the wilderness had always been executed under a state of bloodlust, nobody would hold it against Qin Feng. Condemning him was useless as in the end, actions speak the loudest.

    On that day, Qin Feng drove to the bounty hunter base in Chengbei colony.

    Being one of the richest organizations on the, the front door of the Bounty Hunter Hall was extravagantlyrge, which indicated how lucrative this part-time job was.

    However, many people did not dare choose this job, killing was easy but being killed was even easier.

    As he stepped out of the car, everyone that saw him took in a deep breath.

    ¡°E-tier!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s... He¡¯s Qin Feng! Wait, no, Mayor Qin!¡±

    ¡°He looks even younger than in the ad. Is this what a genius looks like? He looks about seventeen!¡±

    They whispered among themselves, looking on with admiration as he stepped into the Bounty Hunter Hall. Everyone was wondering the same thing, what was he doing in the Bounty Hunter Hall?

    At this time, Zhang Haoyang who greeted Qin Feng was also curious. ¡°Mayor Qin, what brings you here today? Reaped anyrge gainstely?¡± He asked while pouring water for him in a respectful manner.

    Qin Feng was no longer the boy he knew a few months ago!

    An E-tier ability user, ancient warrior and a gunner as well!

    The district chief of Fengli colony.

    The fuse that blew up the Xin family.

    Some even said that Qin Feng could be the next person to reach D tier.

    The news kepting and sometimes Zhang Haoyang wondered, was Qin Feng actually human?

    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯vee to collect the bounty rewards. Here, identify these!¡± As Qin Feng took out the heads one by one, Zhang Haoyang¡¯s facial expression was that of utter shock.

    ¡°She-Wolf!¡±

    ¡°This is Yuan Han!¡±

    ¡°Guo Xing!¡±

    ¡°...¡±

    One by one, they were called by their names. Qin Feng did not recognize some of them, but they must have been powerful people within the Dark Coalition. After all, they had all reached E-tier, which meant that they would have been pretty infamous.

    In addition to the Bloodthirst Organization¡¯s She-Wolf, Qin Feng took out five more, three of whom were wanted.

    As a result, 8.7 billion worth of bounty fell into Qin Feng¡¯sp. This really was very profitable.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, what... what have you been doing?¡±

    Qin Feng merely smiled. ¡°Not much. There was an auction held by the Wanzong Organization. These people went there and I went to take their heads!¡±

    Zhang Haoyang was speechless

    Every year during the auction held by the Wanzong Organization, these Dark Coalition members would go there to ¡®cull the sheep¡¯ and they became infamous through that.

    Who would have thought that one day they would unexpectedly be the sheep?

    ¡°Please wait for a moment, Sir, I have to verify this, and I will handle this for you immediately!¡±

    It was not too long of a wait. After only an hour, the bounty hunter¡¯s internal operations confirmed the news. After all, there were other people who came back from the foreign ind and they knew who killed these people.

    Soon, Zhang Haoyang processed the matter and the Bounty Hunter Network immediately transferred the bounty to Qin Feng¡¯s ount. Not only that, an announcement rang out in the bounty hunter base,

    ¡°Congrattions on bing an E-tier bounty hunter. Thanks to your outstanding contribution, you have restored order to the aftermath of chaos. Golden Hunter special privileges have been granted.¡±

    ¡°Next time you hunt down criminals, you will receive a 10% from the subsequent funds as a reward!¡±

    ¡°I hope you will continue to work hard!¡±

    With this good news, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction and bid Zhang Haoyang goodbye.

    On the same day, the news of She-Wolf and the other people¡¯s bounty being collected was immediately spread throughout the Three Cities. After all, it was a bounty worth billions.

    Moreover, more shocking news surfaced.

 Chapter 235 - Stirring the Bounty Hunters

    <h4>Chapter 235: Stirring the Bounty Hunters</h4>

    One by one, the bounties of the E-tier aptitude users on the bounty hunterwork were removed. The revoked bounties were all wanted criminals in the Three Cities, all of them were E-tiers!

    Combine that with She-Wolf, there were a total of eight.

    Some of the high-level officials were shaken by the news.

    With the return of the E-tier aptitude users to Sea City, the shocking news continued to spread. In the face of these huge losses, the people in the Three Cities were frustrated, especially those in the colonies.

    Infighting within a colony wasmonce, but the E-tier aptitude users represented the power of a colony. If even one were lost, it was actually a matter that would break the equilibrium. This situation was aplete loss for them.

    And now, someone had collected the heads of those from the Dark Coalition, and everyone was able to perceive that this person was the true winner of this foreign battlefield.

    Within a short amount of time, Qin Feng was pushed into the center of all the hooha. He could not hide this matter from anyone, those who had returned knew that it was Qin Feng who killed those Dark Coalition members, and he even killed people who were from other organizations.

    The seven E-tier aptitude users that Qin Feng duped had also suggested that he be marked as a wanted criminal so he would not have the freedom to move around the cities as he pleased.

    Who would have expected that Qin Feng would have handed over the heads and be a Gold Medal Bounty Hunter, making him even more famous. It was also at this time that Xue Xingfu published the advertisement that attracted an overwhelming amount of attention.

    In the video, the arrogant visages of these wanted criminals were disyed which instantly drew in people¡¯s attention.

    These were the evidence of their crimes.

    She-Wolf was shown brutally strangling a pregnant woman, and in the next moment, pulling a knife from seemingly out of nowhere and shing her head off.

    ¡°High-Level Criminal: She-Wolf, in!¡±

    In the next clip was Sheng Zhenyu. As a metal ability user, he once jumped in front of a public transport to intercept it before crushing the entire thing into a cube like it was a tin can. Blood seeped from the crumpled heap of metal.

    In the next moment, a burst of me came from around the corner and enveloped him.

    ¡°High-Level Criminal: Metal Menace, in!¡±

    Clip after clip, the screen shed with the announcement that all eight people were dead.

    Thest image that appeared was a picture of Fengli Colony, a shoppingplex and some ck silhouettes being guided by an attendant or waiter.

    ¡°The loot belongs to the winner, Fengli colony¡¯s Underground Market awaits your custom!¡±

    ¡°The prices are one percent lower than normal market prices. Want to trade or receive loot anonymously? Not a problem!¡±

    ¡°The safest passage. The most confidential measures. The fairest prices.¡±

    ¡°Trustworthy, safe, reliable!¡±

    For the lower tier aptitude users, they would not quite be able to grasp the meaning of this but the E-tier aptitude users were shaken to the core.

    Qin Feng killed these people and he intended to just pawn off their stuff to anonymous people? Not only that, Qin Feng had in fact killed more than just these people. There was bound to be good loot in his hands.

    If the E-tier aptitude users wanted to kill an E-tier ultra beast, they might have to team up for it. This also led to the fact that among the Three Cities, E-tier rune equipment was quite rare.

    Some people were very envious of what they had.

    ¡°She-Wolf has a pair of beast general winged boots!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve always wanted Yuan Han¡¯s twin des, they are beast general tier too!¡±

    ¡°I need to change to arger spatial runic equipment.¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t dare sell the things I got from an aptitude user I killed, maybe now I can give it a try?¡±

    Ideas popped in one after another within this group of people¡¯s heads. However, not everyone was satisfied with Qin Feng¡¯s attitude.

    Among them included the newer members of the Leitang Organization.

    Lei Chen was a D-tier aptitude user. He was a busy man and hardly ever handled the little things but that did not stop him from trying to deal with Qin Feng.

    ¡°This Qin Feng came out through my waymark from the ind and didn¡¯t even give me any money. He has no regard for me at all. In that case, we¡¯ll have to teach him a lesson!¡± Lei Chen barked out an order, ¡°Find Dark Coalition members that have little connection with us. I¡¯ll provide the weapons and show him a thing or two about respect!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Mayor!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. This time, I¡¯ve seized Sea City, it should be fine for a while. I¡¯m going out on a mission and I¡¯ll be back in three months¡¯ time. By the time I get back, I don¡¯t want to see this Qin Feng person again!¡±

    ¡°No problem, Mayor. He¡¯s only taking advantage of the chaos. Now that he¡¯s letting his guard down and getting too over-confident, he doesn¡¯t know that even the tallest trees will get damaged by the gales. Non-conformity begets punishment, this kind of person would onlyst a few days!¡±

    ¡°Good, I¡¯ll leave this to you!¡±

    Lei Chen waved his hand to dismiss his underlings, no longer bothered about Qin Feng. He was just like Chengyang City¡¯s Bai Tianyang. Both of them did not care who the mayor of Fengli colony was.

    The difference between E-tier and D-tier was worlds apart!

    ***

    It had been a few days since the ad was broadcasted, yet no one came to buy anything. This made Xue Xingfu anxious.

    He was a shrewd businessman and knew that this venture was extremely profitable, many people would have been tempted! He did not care about the people from other cities but Chengyang City was nearby, and the advertisement was aired there first. There must be some people who would be interested!

    Qin Feng suppressed the urge to sigh at the sight of Xue Xingfu. Though Xue Xingfu was the number one profiteer in the world before his rebirth, he was too young right now.

    However, Qin Feng believed that with his support, Xue Xingfu would excel faster than before.

    ¡°Rx, they¡¯re just waiting for someone to be the first person to do the honors!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Should we get someone to act as a trustee? Someone like General Han?¡± Xue Xingfu asked.

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°Those people already know that General Han came back with me and whatever business we had together was already done. Don¡¯t worry about it, because of that they wouldn¡¯t hold their breath any longer!¡±

    Punctuating his sentence was a loud rm that rang throughout the entire colony. In the sky above Zimu Mountains, the spatial stabilization device shed bright red and red out a warning.

    ¡°Powerful E-tier missile detected flying toward Fengli colony. Point of impact: city gate!¡±

    ¡°Please turn on the protective energy shield!¡±

    ¡°Estimated time of arrival in T-minus 1 minute and 30 seconds. Beginning countdown.¡±

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep! Hostile attack. Please hide in your basements!¡±

    The entire Fengli colony was thrown into chaos.

    Many civilians did not expect this to happen. Ever since they hade here, there had not been even an ultra beast attack but now there was a man-made disaster.

    On the outskirts of the colony, three figures stood on elevated ground.

    ¡°This stuff ain¡¯t bad. Too bad it¡¯s used on Fengli colony, feels like it¡¯s a waste of 100 million yuan!¡± One of them said, looking to be about in his thirties, with a bit of disappointment in his voice. The thought of entering the colony and getting some powerful loot filled his eyes with greed.

    ¡°Whatever. We didn¡¯t make it ourselves. It¡¯s already beenunched, now we just need to be careful.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, we¡¯re all Dark Coalition people, heads of the mercenary regiment. The guys that lick blood from the de¡¯s edge. You¡¯re afraid of this? Don¡¯t let other people¡¯s deeds extinguish your prestige. Besides, Qin Feng just got lucky. Killing Yuan Han and the rest? Hah! I don¡¯t believe it.¡±

 Chapter 236 - Battling Alone

    <h4>Chapter 236: Battling Alone</h4>

    The three watched Fengli colony from a distance and they could just about imagine the mushroom cloud that it would be after the explosion.

    These three were all from different organizations, none of them were as notorious as She-Wolf but they were just about as dangerous as those from the Bloodthirst Organization.

    They all had their codenames, the gunner One-Eye who obviously had one eye but possessed powerful consciousness that made him an excellent gunner.

    The one that warned them all to be careful was known as Shademaster, a dark ability user as well as a beastmaster. He tended to be thest thing his victims saw.

    The one that seemed to be the most easily agitated was known as Savage King, an E-tier parallel-training ancient warrior. His body was like titanium alloy and his strength was immense.

    This time they joined forces under the g of peace that was naturally forged by Lei Chen, even providing them with the incentives to do so.

    A firearm that was a beast-king-tier purple rune equipment!

    This incentive was strong enough to kill an E-tier aptitude user outright, the sight alone was enough to make people¡¯s knees weak!

    Now that these three had joined forces, they did not believe that Qin Feng would be able to take them on!

    Within the base, Qin Feng focused internal force over his eyes and saw the missile in the air! Meanwhile, the workers in the space stabilizing device were still anxiously waiting for the order to raise the energy shield.

    Qin Feng did not have time to think as he let out an audible sneer. ¡°Xiao Bai, get me that big one!¡±

    ¡°This one?¡± Bai Li pulled out a gun tower, the exact same one that belonged to Wu Ze.

    Bai Li¡¯s space was not as small as Wu Ze¡¯s so the gun tower was already assembled the moment it was brought out.

    Qin Feng quickly added in an artillery shell before aiming it at the missile.

    ¡°Fire!¡± Qin Feng barked, pressing the button.

    Pew!

    The artillery shell with long fins at the rear flew straight up into the air. This artillery shell shrieked loudly as it zipped through the air, causing the civilians that had been running away to take note of the white line that was streaking over Zimu Mountains. They all knew what it meant.

    When the colony was under attack, they had the means to defend themselves. They just did not know who would win in the end.

    In less than half a minute, the two artillery shells had already collided with one another.

    BOOM!

    This missile came from five hundred meters away from Fengli colony and the huge explosion could be heard by everyone within the colony. There was ringing in their ears but they did not feel any tremors!

    Needless to say, the missile was intercepted in mid-air!

    In the distance, the once proud One-Eye¡¯s face fell into a gloomy expression when he witnessed this. Since it was so far away he did not use his machine to track it, neither did he feel anything blocking him.

    ¡°A consciousness shield, does the Fengli colony have an E-tier aptitude user?¡± One-Eye mumbled.

    ¡°Impossible. I heard that Fengli colony only has three E-tier aptitude users. One of them is still on the road and has not yet returned, and another is a seemingly fragile little girl, but that one isn¡¯t a gunner!¡± Shademaster said.

    ¡°Is it still gonna work? If not why don¡¯t I just rush in and kill everything in sight? What a waste of ammo!¡± Savage King said disdainfully while ncing to the side.

    One-Eye red at Savage King after loading in another missile.

    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t believe it yet!¡±

    They then heard the shriek of arge artillery shell which they had not noticed before. Undoubtedly, consciousness shielding had muffled the sound and it was only when it was within one hundred meters of their range that they could hear iting.

    ¡°Get out of here!¡± One-Eye¡¯s daylights got spooked right out of him; he no longer cared about the two and began to run away the moment he turned his back on them.

    Savage King and Shademaster soon followed his example.

    Boom!

    The shell that crashed onto the small hill that they were on immediately leveled it.

    After the second shell was fired, the people within the colony felt a slight tremoring from the distance and they suddenly knew what had just happened.

    There was someone of a higher level counter-attacking the invaders. Realizing this, they were all brimming with excitement.

    ¡°The one who fired from the direction of Zimu Mountains, was that the mayor?¡±

    ¡°Did the mayor hit them? What happened there?¡±

    ¡°Is this the power of gunners? That¡¯s so cool! I... I wanna be a gunner too when I grow up!¡±

    The residents of the colony were all paying close attention to this battle.

    Xue Xingfu stood in the building, watching a continuous stream of news. In the next moment, he received a direct message.

    ¡°Quick, send the image to all advertising screens and the colony¡¯s internalmunicationwork. Live broadcast!¡±

    Nobody objected. They had great trust in Qin Feng.

    Soon, the picture was aired on all the screens on the buildings of Fengli colony, or the public screen of a car, or everybody¡¯smunicators.

    While it was not recorded by drones, they could vaguely see the image of the traces of destruction left on the hillside. When the dust settled, they saw a tank-like gun tower that had been destroyed.

    A cheer erupted from the people and some felt proud of their colony.

    Then, the screen shifted as a running figure appeared on it. Their speed was so fast that it was incredible, turning into a blur as they ran. By the time a drone was properly deployed, the figure had already disappeared.

    Fortunately, there was a high power monitoring system on the space stabilizing device. It detected three people on that destroyed hillside with another figure rapidly approaching.

    Everyone could recognize the figure, it was Qin Feng¡¯s silhouette.

    ***

    ¡°You three came here uninvited andunched such an attack? I don¡¯t like meeting ceremonies like this!¡± Qin Feng was dressed inbat gear, but because of the changes made by the Magical Tesseract it did not give off any glow. From the looks alone, it looked just like a regr oldbat gear.

    The three seemed more confident against someone who was not wearing rune equipment.

    One-Eye¡¯s face contorted with sinister intent, for something so rare and precious to have been destroyed by Qin Feng naturally made him angry.

    ¡°You¡¯re Qin Feng, boy? You don¡¯t look so tough, and I thought you were supposed to have some kind of remarkable power.¡±

    One-Eye had a pair of guns in his hands that appeared to be dposition sters. ¡°You¡¯re dead!¡±

    Without giving an exnation, One-Eyeunched his attack.

    Bzzt!

    Two rays of light flew out at lightning speed, forming into a triangle that covered the area that Qin Feng was standing on. If he had been careless, he would have been disintegrated and killed right there and then.

    ¡°Phantom Motion Steps!¡± Qin Feng quickly lept out of the way.

    The other two looked at each other and they then joined in.

    They did not behave like gentlemen, a one-on-one was not their go to anyway. The most important thing was to take down Qin Feng and the best way to do so was to go at him together.

    ¡°Bone w!¡±

    Two skeletal ws burst out from the ground under Qin Feng, grabbing at him by the waist like a bear trap.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng¡¯s movements were quick, how could he let just a pair of Bone ws stop him? He broke free after smashing the bones into little pieces.

    ¡°Die!¡± Savage King barrelled toward him, a bright glowing from a silver glove on his fist.

    Boom!

    Another punch came in.

    ¡°Who¡¯s the one that needs to die?¡±

    Qin Feng did not dodge this one, instead parrying it with a punch of his own. Even when his fist was not wrapped in anything it still exerted a powerful force.

    Bang!

    The two fists collided, letting out a huge booming sound.

 Chapter 237 - One against Three

    <h4>Chapter 237: One against Three</h4>

    The two of them backed off at the same time, but Savage King seemed to have been sent flying backward.

    Bzzt!

    One-Eye¡¯s dposition ster beams once again wrapped around Qin Feng.

    The three¡¯s cooperation was not perfect but they came in one after the other, not giving time for him to even catch his breath.

    The people in the colony that were watching the fight on video broke out into a cold sweat for Qin Feng¡¯s sake.

    On the hill side, Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was churning, his feet moving like the wind.

    ¡°Phantom Motion Steps!¡±

    He hopped back three meters in the blink of an eye, narrowly avoiding the dposition beams.

    ¡°Verdant Emperor Saber!¡± With a wave of his hand, he pulled his weapon out of his spatial rune equipment with a flourish.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡± mes erupted from the de and immediately rushed toward One-Eye.

    The rune equipment boots One-Eye had on flickered continuously and pushed him high into the sky, allowing him to avoid Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    ¡°Summoning Ability: Fiendish Image!¡± Shademaster raised his hand and urged forth his consciousness, the dark runes gathering were familiar to Qin Feng.

    In the next moment, a huge shadow appeared behind Qin Feng. The shadow instantly twisted around Qin Feng and wrapped itself around him.

    Shademaster¡¯s face spread into a sinister smile. ¡°Gotcha!¡±

    ¡°Haha!¡± One-Eye also let out augh. Although this was his first time working with Shademaster, this kind of cooperation was naturally more beneficial. The Shademaster was indeed a good partner.

    One-Eye raised his dposition sters again and fired at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was originally wrapped up by this shadow, allowing him to measure its strength and quickly figure out a way to break down the rune structure of this ability rune.

    It was indeed a very powerful ability. Unfortunately, the one it encountered was Qin Feng.

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s body seemed to have melded into the shadows of the Fiendish Image. While hidden in the dark, Qin Feng moved through the shadows and fell upon Shademaster in the blink of an eye.

    ¡°Look out!¡± Savage King rushed in from behind, seeing that Qin Feng was almost about to cut down Shademaster with his saber, and went for the rescue.

    He did not do it out of sentimentality, no, it was because Shademaster was a powerful ally and it would be difficult to hunt down Qin Feng without his help.

    Qin Feng saw Savage King approaching but he did not slow down his actions in the slightest.

    ¡°Then, you can both die together!¡±

    ¡°Blooming mes!¡±

    A gout of me swept out in a line.

    ¡°Stubborn Stone!¡± Savage King¡¯s body exploded with internal strength, the exposed skin briefly turning grey like that of a stone¡¯s.

    Boom!

    There came the sound of impact and Savage King was knocked to the side again.

    It looked like it was not enough to defend against Qin Feng¡¯s attack as he ended up receiving arge gash over his arm as blood spattered onto the ground.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber was unimpeded and he swung it again, this time his target was Shademaster.

    Thanks to Savage King¡¯s distraction that saved him, he managed to avoid the first attack. Now that he knew that Qin Feng¡¯s speed was unbeatable, his consciousness surged forth again!

    ¡°Awaken!¡±

    With a boom, a huge coffin erupted from the ground between Qin Feng and Shademaster.

    This coffin was at least two meters tall and was made out of metal, which allowed it to deflect Qin Feng¡¯s blow.

    Ping!

    The coffin lid suddenly fell toward Qin Feng, forcing him to quickly back off. Within the coffin, there was a ferocious looking humanoid ultra beast.

    This was Shademaster¡¯s tamed beast. Not only that, this was his trump card. He had not expected to have to pull out the best tool from his box this early in the battle.

    An extremely powerful Ancient Ghoul. It was at least an E-tier beast general.

    This time, Qin Feng went from being one against three to being one against four.

    Within the colony, countless people were watching this unfold on their screens and wished that they could help. After all, these people were surrounding and attacking Qin Feng, and that made them feel extremely frustrated.

    They were not just worried about Qin Feng, they were also worried about themselves. What if he lost? What would happen to them?

    By now, they no longer wanted to run away. Some people were frozen in ce, staring closely at the big screen and anticipating the results of this battle.

    Shademaster, the Ancient Ghoul, One-Eye and Savage King formed a square around Qin Feng, all staring intently at him.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so strong, Mayor Qin. You¡¯ve even forced me to pull out my ace in the hole. I¡¯ll have you know, whoever it sees will be ripped apart by its teeth!¡± Shademaster said coldly.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes swept across all of them and he stowed away the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Well, that¡¯s unfortunate. I¡¯m afraid it¡¯ll have to go hungry then!¡± he said.

    Savage King¡¯s arm had already stopped bleeding with the use of his internal force. He stared at Qin Feng disdainfully as he watched him put his saber away.

    ¡°Are you nning on surrendering? Or are you nning to escape since you are putting your weapons away? Don¡¯t tell me you are gonna start begging for mercy?¡±

    One-Eye¡¯s good eye locked onto Qin Feng, as long as he could find an opening he would not hesitate to raise his weapons to kill the guy.

    Qin Feng let out a frostyugh. ¡°I don¡¯t need a weapon to deal with you!¡±

    He nced at the text he received on hismunicator, it was from Xue Xingfu.

    ¡°Boss, go at it with a bit more re. Everyone in the colony is watching you!¡±

    Well, that was unexpected.

    He was right though, right now Fengli Colony was under attack by the Dark Coalition and this probably would not be thest time.

    If the colony were attacked often, it would bring turmoil and drive people away out of fear for their lives. Especially rich businessmen. For them, a safe colony was a particr necessity, after all, what was the point of having money if you did not have the chance to spend it.

    This time, Qin Feng did not only have to beat his opponents, he had to beat them down in a shy manner.

    What was more shy than abilities?

    With this in mind, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness surged and his Scarlet Fire w was already floating in his hand.

    ¡°Not good!¡± Shademaster¡¯s mouth widened into that of an ¡®O¡¯ shape, directing his Ancient Ghoul to charge at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    Savage King noticed Qin Feng¡¯s movements and moved in quickly without hesitating.

    The abilities of ability users were strange and powerful. They had heard that Qin Feng was an ability user but the boy came at them with ancient martial arts, which gave them the impression that his abilities were probably weak

    But... this was not what they had imagined.

    ¡°Fire Dragon!¡±

    Qin Feng suddenly manifested his own me runes, and for a moment, mes rocketed into the air.

    A monstrously huge dragon spawned out of the roaring mes, circling around Qin Feng as itsrge body forcibly made the Ancient Ghoul and Savage King back off.

    ¡°You!¡± Qin Feng pointed at One-Eye.

    ¡°No! You! Consciousness Arrow!¡±

    The other party sted his consciousness at Qin Feng in a quick and sudden movement. Gunners were always confident when it came to their conscious energy, even in the face of ability users.

    One-Eye used this move against him and was expecting that the induced vertigo would be able to cancel Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Dragon Style.

    It was a shame that his move did not seem to work at all!

    The roaring fire dragon rushed right toward him!

 Chapter 238 - The Bounty Hunters Add Another Record

    <h4>Chapter 238: The Bounty Hunters Add Another Record</h4>

    ¡°Huh?!¡±

    Even with defense from his rune equipment, One-Eye still let out a panicked yell as the huge dragon bit down on his neck. The me morphed into a rope-like shape before violently dragging One-Eye toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng struck with a blow that connected to where One-Eye¡¯s heart was.

    Boom!

    The defensive rune equipment he had on flickered in a wild frenzy as it tried to defend its wearer, but Qin Feng¡¯s punch was the equivalent of a direct hit from a beast king, and this time he did not hold back.

    Crack!

    He could hear the sound of One-Eye¡¯s broken bones, and in the next moment, One-Eye was sent flying.

    The fire dragon returned to its original form and released One-Eye¡¯s body before turning to rush toward Shademaster.

    The Ancient Ghoul also rushed over to protect its master.

    Savage King rushed at Qin Feng again to sh in a close quarterbat. The two met each other with punches and kicks, every blow producing a thumping sound.

    This was different from his first blow. Last time, he was holding back, but now he no longer had the desire to.

    A quick decision makes for a quick battle.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s internal force erupted outward, wrapping around Savage King! One should know that at this point Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion had reached a whole nother level thanks to him cultivating his internal power, making the move even more powerful.

    A fog cover began to form around them and Savage King felt like he was stuck in the mud.

    Qin Feng reached out and his hands slipped, he ended up grabbing Savage King by the arm.

    Crack!

    Savage King¡¯s arm was broken.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    Savage King let out a cry, his internal force violently broke out as he fought back using his own martial arts. His dazzling movements were hard to follow with the human eye.

    The wild style of this E-tier ancient warrior was just frightening. However, ordinary people would not have known that under the effects of Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion, Savage King¡¯s fighting ability had been greatly reduced. Otherwise, it would have been much stronger than it was now.

    Savage King was no more than a clown hopping around in Qin Feng¡¯s hands.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng broke Savage King¡¯s other arm.

    His strongest blows came from his fists but now both his arms were broken. Even for Savage King, who was an extremely cruel person, he felt fear encroaching his heart, and all he wanted to do was run away to save himself.

    Savage King took a step back before frantically retreating.

    Qin Feng sneered and Asteroid Assimtion surged forth again.

    A frenzied absorption spread forward and Qin Feng¡¯s speed drastically increased before he struck Savage King in the back.

    He hit very close to the center of Savage King¡¯s dantian. The Asteroid Assimtion ability madly consumed the other¡¯s internal force, the sea of clouds of internal power gushed out like water from a dam, quickly running dry in an instant.

    Without internal force, Savage King could no longer defend himself

    Crack!

    Savage King¡¯s head was suddenly spun at an incredible angle of a hundred and eighty degrees. Qin Feng let go of the man¡¯s head, and like a tower made out of iron, the burly body toppled over with a loud thud.

    Now, the situation had been entirely flipped over, and Qin Feng had just taken down two people.

    The fire dragon was still raging wildly, and even the powerful Ancient Ghoul was afraid of the mes. It was gradually getting slower in speed due to a lot of its parts being burnt, the thing was well on its way of bing a charred ghoul.

    Shademaster was also feeling fearful now!

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡± He unleashed his ability, using the cover of darkness to block out people¡¯s sight and turned tail to run.

    Then, in the dark, a dim glow struck his body.

    ¡°This...¡± he lowered his head and saw his body rapidly aging. There were liver spots appearing on his hands, he was turning from a healthy youth to a drooping old man.

    In the blink of an eye, his skin had dried out like a prune as all the moisture was drawn from it.

    ¡°Oh, right. Your brain still has its uses!¡± Qin Feng said, raising his hand to move the dark runes away from the other¡¯s body. Shademaster¡¯s current appearance was haggard, like he had not slept for many days.

    He did not have time to rejoice being set free because Qin Feng pulled out his saber and brought it down like a guillotine.

    The dark runes soon dissipated and everyone regained visuals of the area. All they saw were three heads that were flung up into the sky and an Ancient Ghoul copsing into a pile of ashes.

    Qin Feng stood on the hill side, his figure looking very imposing as he raised his hand to recall the fire dragon back to him. Such a sight was shocking for everyone.

    He then turned on hismunicator and directly messaged Xue Xingfu: ¡°Turn off the feed. People don¡¯t need to watch me collect loot, it¡¯s not appropriate!¡±

    Xue Xingfu understood this and naturally ended the video feed.

    The people in Fengli colony did not understand this because of the initial shock, but the moment the feed disappeared they realized that the battle was over!

    This was a battle between advanced aptitude users?

    None of it seemed human. How terrifying!

    For a time, the battle became the only topic that the residents would talk about.

    At this time, Qin Feng was collecting the spoils of war left by the three. Their heads were removed, their spatial rune equipment taken away, and their rune equipment searched and valued.

    ¡°They are all quite rich!¡±

    One piece of E-tier silver light rune equipment could only be made using beast king tier materials with arge amount of production cost. One piece was worth hundreds of millions and if it were good it would be worth at least one billion. All of the three had that kind of rune equipment, no wonder Qin Feng would call them rich.

    After all, he did not know that this was sponsored by Lei Chen. He was also surprised when he found Shademaster¡¯s spatial storage that contained a piece of rolled-up parchment that looked like a cheat sheet.

    It was directed for the usage of dark runes, including the Bone ws that he faced earlier along with the secret method of controlling Ancient Ghouls!

    ¡°This dark ability is stronger than I expected. Maybe I can use this one day to have an easier time dealing with beast hordes!¡±

    He decided to keep the sheet for himself and put the rest up for auction in his underground ck market!

    Once everything was packed up, he turned on hismunicator and contacted Zhang Haoyang. ¡°I collected the heads of three criminals here, but Fengli colony currently needs someone to defend it. So, if it¡¯s not too much trouble, would you pleasee over to verify them?¡±

    Zhang Haoyang was stunned when he heard the news but then he quickly agreed. ¡°Sure thing, I¡¯ll head over immediately!¡±

    While he was doing that, Xue Xingfu had already put out a new round of advertising. This time, the content of the ad showcased Qin Feng¡¯s battle against the three men that threatened Fengli colony. They were Qin Feng¡¯stest trophies.

    ¡°Alright... this feels like we¡¯re showing off a bit too much. This might scare people off. Maybe a more subtle approach?¡± Xue Xingfu put on a cunning smile and then put out another round of advertising.

    ¡°As long as you don¡¯t act up, Fengli gives you the safest guarantee.¡±

    ¡°Of course, in this world, there would always be some unruly people!¡±

    The heads of the three were disyed in the most public and direct manner.

    All the E-tier aptitude users of the Three Cities fell silent. There were some people that had also wanted to head over just to cause some trouble, now they dared not to.

    Half a dayter, during midnight. Fengli¡¯s underground ck market ushered in its first customer. This person was actually donning a dark robe, just like how Xue Xingfu had previously advertised.

    This person was actually from the Dark Coalition and had already met Qin Feng before.

 Chapter 239 - The Opening of the Underground Black Market

    <h4>Chapter 239: The Opening of the Underground ck Market</h4>

    He was one of those that had escaped the foreign ind first.

    Most people called him Jackal as a reference to his cunning nature. He belonged to the Dark Coalition based in the Three Cities. The money on his head was even greater than She-Wolf¡¯s¡ªa whopping amount of two billion.

    He was famous for his double-cross act. Working as a loner in Sea City, he would rarely hunt mutated beasts and prefered human targets more.

    Qin Feng knew Jackal was the one that killed Liu Ba from Dong Ling.

    He did note alone. His followers were holding at least another five spatial runic equipment.

    ¡°I am here to sell. Also, what¡¯s the price of the silver light rune equipment from Savage King that you guys killed today?¡±

    Xue Xingfu was there to greet their first customer personally.

    ¡°The silver light rune equipment was obtained in perfect shape. Since we have promised a 10% discount on all items, the item is currently priced at 1.2 billion.¡±

    It was indeed cheaper than in other ces. Such an item usually costs around 1.4 billion in the market.

    Jackal nodded and handed over his spatial runic equipment. He also passed on several items that were probably valuable but had no use of. It was hard to identify their origin, and it would not be easy to find a suitor.

    ¡°Quote these!¡±

    Xue Xingfu scanned the items and estimated the price. ¡°Mister, these are probably worth around 780 million. However, we will be charging a small fee for absorbing the equipment and spatial runic equipment from our customers. I hope you can ept our final offer, which is 700 million.¡±

    Jackal frowned in anger. ¡°What?!¡±

    He took on a tough stance and exuded an explosive aura. The aura of an E-tier ancient warrior was suffocating.

    Obviously, Jackal was unsatisfied with the price.

    The chubby face of Xue Xingfu twitched slightly. But he stood by his point. ¡°Like it or not, that¡¯s how we do things here. You are at no risk here as we guarantee your payment.¡±

    Jackal was about to threaten the manager again, only to realize he had been locked on by another conscious energy.

    It was a horrifying feeling. The conscious energy seemed to have taken control over Jackal¡¯s body in an instant. He could feel the pressure mounting between his brows as if his head would explode if he dare say another word.

    Jackal was stupefied.

    ¡®Qin Feng! Must be him!¡¯

    Jackal gulped and then gave in reluctantly. ¡°700 million it is.¡±

    He regretteding here. Fearing that Qin Feng might assault him anytime, he wished to acquire the silver light rune equipment and leave as quickly as possible.

    Xue Xingfu wasted no time and asked for the rune equipment to be delivered to the counter while he retrieved Jackal¡¯s merchandise there and epted another 500 million from him. Jackal had almost emptied all his savings for this equipment.

    Aspared to the money, this equipment was far more vital to an aptitude user. It could be a life-saver in a desperate situation.

    All this while, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness never left Jackal. Thetter was too afraid to do or say anything inappropriate.

    ¡°Mister, we have prepared a secret passageway in here that could lead you directly out of town. If you have parked your hovercar inside the colony, we can have someone deliver it to you on the outside as well. This way, you will be able to leave Fengli without being seen. Do you need such a service?¡± Xue Xingfu asked.

    It was torture staying here for even another minute. Jackal nodded without hesitation and passed his car key to Xue Xingfu hastily.

    Soon, Jackal boarded the metro. But even when he was inside the train, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness still haunted him until he left Fengli for good.

    ¡°Phew!¡± Jackal broke out in a cold sweat. ¡°This Qin Feng is scarier than ever.¡±

    ¡®He has be even stronger than he was before! Or perhaps, he had been concealing his true powers when he was on the ind.¡¯

    No matter what, Jackal was d that he did not act out of impulse. Otherwise, he might not have been able to leave Fengli alive.

    Other customers arrived continuously after Jackal. They entered the market during the night and were all wearing ck robes.

    He designed it on the spur-of-the-moment. Xue Xingfu did not expect the customers to have epted it as the default attire visiting their market. Nevertheless, he could still tell the identity of most customers thanks to their ring sigils. Yet, he mentioned nothing and tended to them earnestly.

    Their business grew steadily with its opening. They took in unwanted items and resold them, while goods that were difficult to handle were secretly channeled to Wanzong Organization. The ck market profited 10% through such trades, which was a huge gain considering the massive cash flow.

    As this business was operating closely with Wanzong, the organization had dispatched its manager at Chengbei, Sun Yu, to reside at Fengli colony.

    The business got on track without much hassle. No one would risk stirring up trouble at Fengli with Qin Feng watching over the entire operation.

    The temporary person-in-charge of Sea City was perhaps the only one having an open grudge against Qin Feng now. He did not abide by Lei Chen¡¯s order and would surely be condemned once Lei Chen returned. He would surely teach Qin Feng a lesson.

    At the moment, Qin Feng was at the manor on top of the mother mountain. Opposite him in the gym room sat Zhou Hao.

    Zhou Hao had only awakened for half a year. His development was by no means slow.

    ¡°This is going to hurt a lot. I will knock you out if you can¡¯t stand the pain. However, it would be far less effective this way.¡±

    ¡°Stop babbling and begin already. I will live!¡± Zhou Hao replied.

    Qin Feng nodded and took out a test tube. Inside was the fresh blood of the Drakocroc King.

    The blood would only be useful if it were collected fresh. Extracting it from the dead body would not have any strengthening effects. This was the reason Qin Feng did not instantly switch onto other targets then. He stayed close to the in beast to collect its blood. Even so, he had only managed to gather three tubes.

    After returning from the expedition, he did not immediately pass the blood to Zhou Hao but first had him feast on the Drakocroc¡¯s meat for a few days. Today was the first time Zhou Hao would use the blood for training.

    A drop of the Drakocroc King¡¯s dragon bloodnded on the back of Zhou Hao¡¯s bare skin and fused instantaneously. Zhou Hao groaned but withstood it.

    Seeing that he could stand the pain, Qin Feng continued dripping the blood. Eventually, Zhou Hao could not help and began to reel uncontrobly. His eye went bloodshot, and he did not seem to be able to grind through it any further.

    ¡°Hold it in!¡± Qin Fengmanded strictly.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Zhou Hao gritted his teeth and sat up straight again.

    He did not absorb as much blood as Tyrant had. The amount given to him was tailored ording to his power. Zhou Hao endured the pain in the end and crossed his legs to begin meditation.

 Chapter 240 - Wraith Devil

    <h4>Chapter 240: Wraith Devil</h4>

    Qin Feng grinned and nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Zhou Hao had stabilized himself.

    He walked out of the gym and headed to the living hall. There, he met Lin Wuyi, who had just returned from Sea City.

    Qin Feng passed him one tube of the Drakocroc King¡¯s blood as well.

    ¡°Boss, this would not be necessary. You have already granted me my share of reward!¡± The three hundred million was his dividend. But since he had decided to work under Qin Feng, he would not mind even if Qin Feng were to not give him anything.

    ¡°Take this as my appreciation for your hard work. You can even think of this as an advance payment for your service. You will be in charge of the ck market security from today onwards,¡± Qin Feng spoke at ease. ¡°Fengli colony is still facing a lot of uncertain danger at the moment. I will have Bai Li stay behind to look after the colony. Please work with her and keep the colony safe while I am away.¡±

    Lin Wuyi looked at Qin Feng puzzlingly. ¡°You are leaving Fengli? Where are you going this time?¡±

    ¡°I have a few locations in my mind. These are intel provided by Yang Sanhu.¡± Due to theplexity of the matter, Qin Feng did not exin in detail and imed that it was from Yang Sanhu.

    Of course, he could still make a detour to the ce Yang Sanhu had actually mentioned on his way back.

    ¡°Alright. Please be careful out there. Fengli needs you.¡±

    Fengli colony was established by Qin Feng single-handedly. He was the sole reason Fengli could develop steadily without being disturbed by other power factions.

    In other words, this colony would topple instantly if anything were to happen to Qin Feng. Such was the norm in thiswless post-apocalyptic world.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. No one would be able to touch Fengli when Bai Li is around,¡± Qin Feng said.

    Bai Li was busy tidying up the flower garden outside the manor.

    After Qin Feng had constructed a ck garden, Bai Li wished to build one for herself as well. The nts would freshen the air around the manor and make the whole ce morefortable to live in.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, I¡¯m leaving!¡± Qin Feng waved goodbye to her.

    Xiao Bai rolled her eyes and grumbled, ¡°How could you not feel guilty when you are going to ditch me here and have fun by yourself?¡±

    From Bai Li¡¯s viewpoint, all of Qin Feng¡¯s battles and adventures were nothing more than a game. After all, inside her inherited memories, that was how her ancestor hade through and survived the void.

    Her kind was born strong. Once given enough energy, they would grow and evolve rapidly. As such, hunting and battling were nothing more than their leisurely activity.

    ¡°Fengli is our home. Someone wicked is threatening to destroy Fengli so you have to take good care of it!¡± Qin Feng tapped Bai Li¡¯s nose and persuaded her like she was a child.

    After half a year, Bai Li¡¯s intelligence had expanded quickly. She understood much more now, and would not simply throw a tantrum like she did the first time Qin Feng left her.

    ¡°Alright. I understand. You should get going soon.¡± Bai Li urged Qin Feng.

    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t you be heavy-hearted seeing me leave?¡± Qin Feng teased Bai Li. ¡°Kiss me before I go.¡±

    Bai Li raised her beautiful eyes to look at him. Then, she tipped her toes to close in and kissed Qin Feng¡¯s lips. She even bit his lips lightly.

    The intimacy sent down a jolt of electricity through the both of them. Qin Feng could not help but hold her tightly in his arms. He kissed back passionately.

    After some time, Bai Li pushed Qin Feng away. Her face was as red as a ripe apple.

    ¡°Alright. You should leave now.¡± Bai Li brought out the small hover car Qin Feng had just bought and ran away like a startled rabbit.

    ¡°Xiao Bai has grown up!¡±

    ¡®It seems that the television has taught her a thing or two about romance.¡¯

    Qin Feng stepped into the car joyfully. He promptly started its engine and rammed the hover car into the wilderness.

    He was headed to the west side of Chengyang City, a total opposite direction to Fu and Sea city.

    This ce was beyond the jurisdiction of the Three Cities.

    The enemy this time was something he had unintentionally learned about through the battle in his previous life.

    Though it was way back in his past life, Qin Feng clearly remembered that the incident was reported in the first month, which was January.

    Qin Feng did not n to intervene at first since the auction in Sea City and the opening of the rift were more of a priority to him.

    But the event in Sea city had been brought forward by half a month as a butterfly effect resulted from Qin Feng¡¯s actions. That was why Qin Feng was able to make this trip in time.

    ¡®I have a vague memory of this. If not because of Tan Yue, I might not even remember it. Even if I miss it, I can still go to the ce Yang Sanhu told me about.¡±

    This tragedy that happened in his past life was rted to the organization called Zhongcheng.

    The ce Qin Feng was headed for was known as Pingyun colony. The poption size there was about twenty thousand, but the actual human flow was much higher than that figure. The reason being that one of the Zhongcheng logistic branches was based there. So Pingyun basically functioned as a transportation hub between different cities.

    One day, a small rift opened up within the colony even though the spatial stabilizer was still running. A scary creature emerged from it and entered the colony unnoticed.

    It was called the Wraith Devil. An E3-tier monster equivalent to a beast king.

    The Wraith Devil came from a highly intelligent species. It did not have a physical figure, and the only way to counter this monster was through light and fire ability, or by using powerful conscious energy to destroy it.

    Unfortunately, though Pingyun colony was a busy transport hub, most of its users were only F-tiers. F-tiers like Tan Yue were considered topbatants there. There was no way such a defense force could fend off the overwhelming imposter.

    Qin Feng would not havee if his consciousness had not reached E3-tier.

    ¡°Beep beep! An F3-tier beast general has appeared 1,000 meters ahead. Please be careful.¡±

    A warning sounded from the hover car¡¯s stereo. Qin Feng raised his head and saw that a python was blocking the entire road. Beside the beast was a flipped-over SUV. The people behind it were trying desperately to hold off the beast.

    Qin Feng had a quick nce and immediately grasped that the one in front was only an F3-tier aptitude user. Others were hiding behind the turnover truck and were firing continuously at the python. All the bullets were reflected as soon as they hit the beast¡¯s body.

    The gap in power was too much!

    The giant python soon wrapped itself around the aptitude user, strangling him.

    ¡°Brother Qian!¡±

    ¡°Xiao Yue, Xiao Rin, run!¡±

    ¡°Brother Qian...¡±

    There were three people behind the truck. Two of them were young girls who were G3-tiers, eighteen years of age, while another was a G8-tier teenage boy. Though he was also an ancient warrior, he was rooted on the spot and was too frightened tounch an attack.

    Qin Feng did not slow down and rolled down the car window when he passed by them. A sparkling handgun was seen extended out from the window.

    It was a dposition ster.

    Blitz!

    A colorfulser from the gun hit the bull¡¯s eye and instantly disintegrated the python¡¯s head. Crystal fragments fell off from its neck, marking the death of the F3-tier beast general.

    Creatures like this were a piece of cake to Qin Feng now.

 Chapter 241 - Entering Pingyun

    <h4>Chapter 241: Entering Pingyun</h4>

    Those saved by Qin Feng were still trying to recollect themselves. The charming and slender Qin Feng came down from his hover car and stood imposingly in front of them. The badge that represented his tier hung proudly on his chest.

    The letter ¡°E¡± imprinted on the badge signified his exceptional strength and social status.

    Qin Feng walked up and gripped the slippery python body with his bare hand. With a yank, he helped release the person entangled by it.

    Qin Feng then promptly stored the beast general materials into his spatial equipment. He now had enough food materials for the next few days.

    Poof!

    The guy had failed to escape the python¡¯s entrapment, despite using up all of his inner energy. He was only dying his ultimate fate, it never urred to him that he would be rescued.

    ¡°Thank you. I owe you my life! Cough cough!¡±

    He spewed out a small pool of blood. A few of his rib cages were snapped but fortunately, none of his internal organs was punctured. Such an injury would not be lethal to an aptitude user. He would be fine after resting up for a week or so.

    ¡°Can you walk?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Not a problem!¡± The guy answered hurriedly.

    But Qin Feng remained cautious and shared some of his own internal force with that guy. Redness slowly returned to his pale face with Qin Feng¡¯s help.

    After that, Qin Feng walked to the SUV and pushed it with one hand. Without much effort, therge truck flipped back upright. The tires made a loud bang when it came into contact with the ground once again.

    ¡°Mister, thank you for saving our lives. Thank you!¡± One of the teenage girls stared at Qin Feng with admiration like he was some sort of a hero.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Leave this ce at once.¡± Qin Feng replied casually. To him, this was nothing more than a small favor.

    Those who were saved by him, however, were not ready to part ways yet. They felt obliged to thank their savior. Besides, it was not every day that they woulde across someone as powerful as Qin Feng. They yearned to know more about him.

    ¡°Mister, are you going to Pingyun? I am a local there. Please allow me to treat you to a meal as a sign of my gratitude,¡± The guy offered sincerely.

    Qin Feng looked at him and contemted it. He then nodded, ¡°Sure. Let me ensure you all return safely to the colony.¡±

    At first, Qin Feng wanted to advise them to stay away from Pingyun. He swallowed his words after learning that they were residents there.

    It seemed that the cmity had not befallen Pingyun yet.

    They introduced themselves to Qin Feng. The F3-tier aptitude user was Qian Yuan, while the two girls were sisters¡ªFang Yue and Fang Ling. As for the G8 aptitude user, he was a friend of Qian Yuan¡¯s called Guang Xiaogang. He was not a verypetent fighter.

    Their SUV trailed behind Qin Feng¡¯s hover car. It paled inparison to Qin Feng¡¯s ssy vehicle.

    ¡°E-tier aptitude user. Is he a gunner? He needed only one shot to finish off an F-tier beast general!¡± Fang Yuemented.

    ¡°That¡¯s only because he has a powerful weapon. Do you know what gun he is holding? A dposition ster. We wouldn¡¯t be able to afford it even if we sell all our belongings including ourselves.¡± Guang Xiaogang was the one driving. He had yet to fully recover from the traumatic encounter, evident from his quivering body.

    Secretly, he was not entirely convinced. It was normal to envy those with greater power. Moreover, Qin Feng¡¯s moderate temperament did not strike him as a fearsome figure. Not to mention, he had long been having affection for the two sisters. So it was only natural for Guang Xiaogang to repel Qin Feng when he became the center of attention and drew endlesspliments from the two sisters.

    ¡°He is probably not a gunner but an ancient warrior. The internal force he shared with me felt dense and vibrant. My meridian flow has be much smoother than it was before.¡±

    This was the strength of a high-tier ancient warrior. Qin Feng had unintentionally reinforced Qian Yuan¡¯s meridian while attending to his internal wounds. Thetter felt that this was a blessing in disguise.

    ¡°Have you seen how he fit such a huge beast general into his spatial rune equipment with ease? It must be quite spacious. Furthermore, themunicator on his wrist is thetest version. That alone costs a hundred thousand. I don¡¯t even have that much money in my savings,¡± Fang Ling babbled excitedly.

    Fang Yue and Fang Ling had been awakened for more than half a year now. They had only reached G3-tier after training for so long, and most of their sries had been spent on buying potions.

    The two sisters had been following Qian Yuan out to the field for three months now but failed to gain much. The danger they faced today only added to their terror toward the wilderness.

    Nheless, they felt fortunate and thrilled to have been rescued. After all, the person who saved them was none other than an E-tier aptitude user¡ªone that was capable of leading a medium-size colony.

    Pingyun was smaller than Han Town and could only be considered as a small colony. Nobody would havee to this remote ce if it did not serve as an important transportation hub.

    In other words, even the colony chief of Pingyun was inferior to Qin Feng.

    Hence, their excitement was understandable. Knowing someone so powerful was only going to benefit them. After all, they would improve substantially if the E-tier aptitude user was willing to give them some guidance or rare items.

    Soon, the two vehicles entered the colony one after the other. The houses here were not particrly new but its roads were undoubtedly broader than mostrge-scale colonies. People were rushing in and out of different buildings. Most of the vehicles weremodity trucks. There were also railways all around the colony.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, the tall building in front belongs to the Zhongcheng Organization. The restaurant at the highest level of the building is the best you can find in Pingyun. Let¡¯s go there.¡± Qian Yuan¡¯s voice came through themunicator.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Qin Feng answered back and stopped his car in front of the building.

    The others came down from their car and Qian Yuan led them to the top floor using the elevator.

    ¡°Wee!¡±

    ¡°Please allow me to escort you to your table.¡±

    Qian Yuan was supposed to be the host but the waiters showed more respect toward Qin Feng. They centered their service around thetter as if he was the host. Even the main chef came out from the kitchen and asked Qin Feng what dish he would prefer.

    ¡°We have recently purchased a jungle bear and yet to remove his palm. There¡¯s also a living sea monster delivered here fresh from Sea City. Another rmendation would be our ssic fiery chicken.¡±

    Qian Yuan gulped hearing the chef¡¯s enthusiastic rmendation. He reckoned that this meal would punch a hole through his already thin wallet.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, paid little attention to the chef. He ordered nothing from the menu but said instead, ¡°I have just in a python. Make us a snake feast with its meat.¡±

    Qin Feng skinned the snake in his spatial equipment using his conscious energy. After removing its energy core, he cut out a pierce of one-meter-long meat and passed it to the chef. That should be sufficient to make a meal for five.

    ¡°Alright. The dish will be ready in no time.¡±

    The chef brought the meat into the kitchen and switched on the projector. Through it, they could view the entire cooking process.

    Qian Yuan admired Qin Feng even more after his generous gesture. At the same time, he was a little embarrassed. ¡°Mr. Qin, how could we use your ingredients when I have promised to treat you?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. It ain¡¯t much.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Mr. Qin is an E-tier aptitude user so he must be very wealthy. He wouldn¡¯t mind those few slices of meat,¡± Fang Yue chipped in.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, you are so strong. Are you an ability user, or an ancient warrior?¡± Fang Ling asked curiously as well.

    Qin Feng drank his tea in silence and refused to answer their questions.

 Chapter 242 - The Rift Has Appeared

    <h4>Chapter 242: The Rift Has Appeared</h4>

    Qian Yuan frowned and chastised, ¡°Who are you two to decide for Mister Qin? Even though he is rich, he is only treating us out of his kindness. Don¡¯t take it for granted and ask insensible questions!¡±

    The two teenage girls immediately went silent. They observed Qin Feng¡¯s facial expression carefully and noticed that he remained undeterred, and he had no intention of barring Qian Yuan from paying.

    Qian Yuan, too, was observing Qin Feng quietly. He figured that his hunch was right.

    Qian Yuan sighed silently. Of course, he understood what Fang Yue and Fang Ling were anticipating. If they could build up some sort of connection with this E-tier aptitude user, a small gift from him would perhaps be enough to turn their lives around. With his backing, they could stop risking their lives in the wilderness for disproportionate rewards.

    Qin Feng had learned enough about human beings from his past life till now. Their intention did not escape his keen mind, but he figured it was too much trouble to meddle in it. Thus, he refused to say anything and did not console the two sisters.

    Qian Yuan, being the most tactful among them, was the only one Qin Feng was willing to talk to. He tried to gather information about the rift without giving away too much. He found out that the incident indeed had not taken ce yet.

    Since it was something he read on the Battle Net before he was reborn, Qin Feng had no idea about the exact time. Thus, he could only wait.

    The dishes were served swiftly. The Fang sisters dared not utter another word and devoured the food greedily after Qin Feng asked them to dig in.

    It was meat from an F-tier beast general. Eating it would boost their physical strength. Besides, from the looks of it, this would be the only meal they would get from Qin Feng. Hence, they set their pride aside and gobbled up as much meat as possible.

    Qin Feng paid little attention to theirck of manners. He did not mind letting them have most of the meat since he had a lot of better ingredients in his storage, namely beast king ones. He put down his chopstick after he was only half full.

    Qin Feng drank some tea to rinse his mouth and observed the scenery outside the windows.

    Being the establishment constructed by Zhongcheng to serve their own aptitude users, this tower at the center of Pingyun was the tallest building inside the colony. French windows were installed right beside the dining table, making this the best vantage point to view the entire Pingyun.

    More so, long lines of street lights, headlights, or brake lights could be seen extending into the horizon when the night fell. Pingyun was one of the rare sleepless towns in this post-apocalyptic world.

    The only down point was that this ce was too small and overcrowded.

    As Qin Feng was immersed in his own train of thought, a spatial stabilizer a few hundred meters away from them suddenly sounded a shrieking rm.

    ¡°Beep! Beep! Beep! A spatial rift has appeared. Immediate action is required to seal off the rift!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s hand stiffened. He did not expect it to happen so soon. Hismunicator had just ryed the same information to him.

    ¡°Beep! A spatial rift has appeared about 823 meters away from you. Please take cover!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber emerged abruptly in Qin Feng¡¯s hand. In the next moment, he had already dashed toward the French windows.

    The windows were thick enough to be bulletproof but it was instantly shattered as Qin Feng smashed through it. Wind from outside immediately ravaged the top floor restaurant.

    Qin Feng was already out of sight.

    ¡°Argh!¡± Fang Yue shouted out in horror.

    ¡°Mr. Qin!¡± Qian Yuan was equally startled by Qin Feng¡¯s overreaction. He wanted to chase right after Qin Feng but was discouraged by the iing strong wind and twenty-floor height. Eventually, he brushed aside his fear and said to hispatriots, ¡°Wait here. I will go and have a look.¡±

    Though Qian Yuan was injured, he felt much better now after having the beast general¡¯s meat. He had this unexined urge to follow Qin Feng and see what he was up to.

    Of course, he was not the only one with such thinking.

    ¡°Quick. We will go as well. Something serious must have happened!¡± Guang Xiaogang who had not spoken for a while pressed on.

    Fang Yue and Fang Ling followed suit as well. But each of their speeds were slower than thest.

    To Qin Feng, eight hundred meters was just a matter of seconds. He reached the pinpointed zone in the blink of an eye. The opening had actually urred in a residential area.

    That was unheard of!

    ¡°Argh!¡± Qin Feng heard the screech and quickly located the source of the voice. He stepped on the wall and climbed hastily to the third floor. He then saw a rift that had just been sealed up, while a pale-looking man was kneeling at the side, gasping for air.

    Qin Feng looked at him and wasted no time. He charged at the man with his saber.

    ¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡± The guy shouted in panic and evaded the attack.

    He was only a teenager, with a G6 badge on his chest.

    ¡°Kill you, of course,¡± Qin Feng replied solemnly.

    The teenager was enraged. ¡°What have I done? I am just a normal aptitude user here in Pingyun!¡± He evaded Qin Feng¡¯s attack dexterously.

    To Qin Feng¡¯s surprise, the teenager possessed the wind-type ability and was moving extremely fast.

    However, a G-tier ability user could not be faster than Qin Feng. Something was definitely not right.

    Qin Feng managed to corner him several times with his saber, only to be closely dodged by the teenager every time. The teenager jumped out from the window after he distanced away from Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was relentless and chased after him. He was then shocked to see that Qian Yuan had caught up to him.

    ¡°Move!¡± Qin Fengmanded angrily.

    Qian Yuan did not understand why Qin Feng was going after a G-tier aptitude user but he did as Qin Feng said, as if Qin Feng¡¯s voice has an absolute authority that he could not disobey.

    Qin Feng elerated once again.

    ¡°Blooming me!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s fiery skill once again caught up to the wind-type user.

    ¡°Wind Shield!¡±

    ng! ng! ng!

    Qin Feng¡¯s attacks were blocked!

    Guang Xiaogang, Fang Yue, and Fang Ling had reached the battle zone too. They were shocked to see Qin Feng¡¯s opponent.

    ¡°Shi Guan!¡±

    This guy received the awakening injection at the same time as they did. Since he possessed the wind-type ability, he was being highly regarded by the colony and was given the best resources avable here. The Fang sisters had long admired him for reaching G6-tier sooner than all of his peers.

    Since Shi Guan was their contemporary, Fang Yue tried to defuse the situation. ¡°Stop fighting! There must be some kind of a misunderstanding here.¡±

    ¡°Get out of my way!¡± Qin Feng bellowed.

    Fang Yue and Fang Ling were frightened. They felt angry and wronged by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng escted his attacks, and Shi Guan was gradually outmatched.

    There was an ominous gap between an E-tier and G-tier. It was only a matter of time for Shi Guan to be defeated, though he had done exceptionally well to withstand for so long.

    This was because the teenager was no longer himself.

    ¡°Sword re!¡±

    Qin Feng turned his saber and shed right through Shi Guan¡¯s neck.

    Pop!

    Shi Guan was beheaded.

    Fang Ling and Fang Yue had their eyes wide open in disbelief. They did not expect the E-tier aptitude user to actually be a cold-blooded killer, and had not expected to witness such a brutal scene when they invited Qin Feng to enter Pingyun with them.

    Before they could react, something peculiar then took ce.

 Chapter 243 - Battle Against The King

    <h4>Chapter 243: Battle Against The King</h4>

    Shi Guan¡¯s body began to tremble violently as soon as it was decapitated, then, his backbone began to crack while a pitch-ck humanlike creature with scales all over its body appeared.

    He had soul-ripping eyes that were pulsing with dark-green mes.

    ¡°Wraith Devil!¡± Qin Feng seemed to be perturbed from his expression, blood flow elerated throughout his body as he became highly alert, his conscious energy heightened to a level that he had never experienced before. He stared fixedly at the person before him.

    He was one of the major causes of Pingyun bing a ghost town, and it took many years for Pingyun to recover from it.

    Twenty thousand people in the entire area of Pingyun were devoured by the Wraith Devil, and it fuelled its transformation into a D-tier being.

    Normally, it would require a D-tier aptitude user to hunt down an E-tier beast king. If the beast king were to achieve D-tier, the needed number of aptitude users would increase tremendously, or else, C-tier aptitude users would be needed.

    As Pingyun¡¯s location was not indispensable, Zhongcheng Organization gave up on it and instead chose to utilize another route.

    It was until two yearster when an outsider identally trespassed into Pingyun found out that the Wraith Devil had left the ce for a long time, everything was abandoned in Pingyun, and not even a single human being stayed behind.

    Now that the Wraith Devil was looking at Qin Feng with its piercing eyes, dark-green mes began to engulf its body.

    ¡°You don¡¯t seem too bad, I could use your body!¡± The Wraith Devil growled and pounced toward Qin Feng.

    It was at that moment, Qin Feng no longer disyed his ancient martial arts skills and started activating his abilities.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    mes began to rise from the ground and circle around the Wraith Devil.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    A loud and blood-curdling scream was instantly heard from the Wraith Devil.

    After all, the Wraith Devil was afraid of light and fire abilities.

    Without any hesitation, the Wraith Devil turned tails and ran away!

    ¡°Fire beam!¡±

    A fire beam that was about the size of a wrist was shot out.

    Boom!

    The Wraith Devil that was escaping took the deadly hit and let out another screech, surprisingly, its speed began to increase.

    It did not have a physical body and was able to prate through the walls, it then glided into one of the buildings in the area.

    Pow!

    Qin Feng did not care about dodging any obstacles along the way, he was akin to a humanlike ultra beast that was ramming through every single wall within the building to hunt down the Wraith Devil.

    Qin Feng had his conscious energy locked on his opponent.

    zing mes were furiously enveloping the surroundings.

    The Wraith Devil had finally found the presence of a human being, it was a woman who was cooking in a room, he pounced forward within a split second and possessed the woman¡¯s body.

    Qin Feng raised his saber and sliced it across the air!

    The Wraith Devil was forced out from the dead body. However, the wound on its back that was injured by Qin Feng¡¯s attack had fully recovered, as if it had never sustained any injuries.

    The Wraith Devil¡¯s wound was healed from devouring other people¡¯s souls.

    Swoosh!

    The Wraith Devil went through a wall and disappeared once again.

    Qin Feng forcefully rammed through the wall and it was hollowed into a giant hole, he continued on with his wild pursuit.

    The mes kept burning, dealing continuous damage to the Wraith Devil.

    ¡°You have left me no choice!¡± The Wraith Devil turned around and pounced toward Qin Feng.

    In the next moment, Qin Feng felt that his conscious energy was being invaded by an unknown being.

    It was an extremely nauseous feeling.

    ¡°Scram!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was split into small arrows as he activated a wild retaliation against the invader.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    The Wraith Devil screamed and retracted itself from Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy space.

    It was surprised and furious as he looked toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s physical capabilities and conscious energy were of beast king tier, whereas the Wraith Devil was also a beast king that had the capability to go head-to-head against Qin Feng. However, Qin Feng¡¯s attributes had dominance over the Wraith Devil¡¯s nature.

    As such, the Wraith Devil was unable to cause any harm toward Qin Feng.

    All of a sudden, a morous noise was heard from afar, along with a beeping sound that was specially used by patrol vehicles.

    It was the patrol team of Pingyun Colony!

    The Wraith Devil heard the noise and immediately sneered, it then instantly turned back and prated through the wall.

    Qin Feng was taken aback.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng plowed a giant hole in the building.

    On the outside, some G-tier aptitude users circled around the scene and began to inspect Shi Guan¡¯s body, questioning the witnesses.

    ¡°Everyone leave, do you want to die?¡±

    Qin Feng was fuming mad as he saw that Qian Yuan and the others were standing idly by, not doing anything to stop the patrol team from closing in!

    Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was instantly locked on to someone, it turned out to be a G5-tier patrol team member.

    ¡°Get out from there now!¡± Qin Feng let out a furious roar and attacked the patrol team member.

    That person was shocked and shouted.

    ¡°What are you trying to do? Are you insane? Help!¡±

    The others had subconsciously pointed their weapons at Qin Feng but Qin Feng did not stop and he continued to rush toward the patrol team member.

    Ratatatat!

    An insane number of shots was sted toward Qin Feng as the patrol team members thought that Qin Feng was one of the members of the Dark Coalition that hade to create chaos in Pingyun.

    ¡°Hold your fire!¡± Qian Yuan panicked and shouted as he witnessed the chaotic progression of the situation.

    Although he was fully aware of the situation, before he could even exin, Qin Feng had sunk into another battle with the others.

    Qin Feng had no hesitation nor fear in him as he was faced with the bullets that rained down on him.

    None of the bullets were able to harm Qin Feng as all of them stopped within a radius of a meter around him and fell onto the ground.

    Qin Feng was only eyeing the G5-tier patrol team member.

    All of a sudden, Qin Feng was surrounded by zing mes.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    A massive fire dragon rose up to the skies.

    The overwhelming presence shocked everyone in the surroundings and none of them dared to move away.

    Qin Feng continued on with his pursuit.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    The massive mes covered the body of the patrol team member.

    However, the fragile body of a human being was unable to withstand such a powerful ability, and it was instantly burnt into ashes.

    The human body was lit up in bright-red while being burned down by the mes, and the Wraith Devil appeared from within again.

    The fire dragon wrapped itself around the body of the Wraith Devil.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    The Wraith Devil let out a miserable shriek as it began to break apart and split itself into five human shadows.

    Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

    The five human shadows pounced toward the crowd simultaneously, and within a split second, five people were being possessed.

    The situation became worse when the five of them began to run in different directions.

    ¡°Stop them!¡± Qin Feng roared furiously.

    ¡°Fire beam!¡±

    Qin Feng sted out five shots of fire beams and managed to hit three of the human shadows, and the fire dragon swept down, decimating the three of them. On the other hand, one of the human shadows was blocked by a patrol team member who was quick to react, Qin Feng rushed forward and took care of it with a sh across the opponent¡¯s neck.

    However, as soon as they were killed, shadows of the Wraith Devil began to crawl up from the back of the dead bodies and all of them sneered devilishly.

    ¡°Kekeke, I thought that everyone here is incapable and weak, guess I was wrong, interesting!¡±

    The Wraith Devil spoke with a hoarse voice. Not only that, its tone sounded weird, like it was unfamiliar with thenguage and its usage. It would seem that it had absorbed thenguage by devouring Shi Guan and the others.

    ¡°It seems like I will be able to spend more time ying this game with you!¡±

    The Wraith Devilpleted his sentence and faded into ck mist, disappearing instantly from the scene.

    Qin Feng was daunted by what had happened.

    The Wraith Devil had escaped.

    Qin Feng was no longer able to detect the Wraith Devil¡¯s presence using his conscious energy.

 Chapter 244 - Missed A Great Opportunity

    <h4>Chapter 244: Missed A Great Opportunity</h4>

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

    Qin Feng was extremely agitated as he had lost such a great opportunity.

    However, there was nothing else that Qin Feng could do. After all, it was extremely difficult for him to deal with king-tier advanced wisdom tribes!

    ¡°Dissipate!¡±

    All the mes burning around the area dissipated while the fire dragon circled around before it returned back into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Everyone in the surrounding area felt relief wash over them as soon as the massive ability was called off.

    It was indeed an intimidating and suppressive ability that had caused everyone to be horror-struck.

    This person was shockingly powerful.

    When did such a powerful person step foot onto Pingyun?

    At that moment, three of the patrol team members that were left behind seemed to be horrified by the scene earlier as they looked at Qin Feng in fear.

    They did not have a clue about the entity that had escaped earlier on, they could barely register the fact that the person in front of them had such overpoweringbat capabilities.

    They had no idea how to handle such a situation.

    In the midst of all the confusion, several shadows appeared and approached them.

    Before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, Pingyun Colony had recovered from the rift within a short amount of time. The Wraith Devil remained undetected as it lived on amongst the people with its effective hiding skills.

    Now that Qin Feng had caused such chaos, every high-level authority in the entire colony had made an appearance!

    Even the train captain of the Zhongcheng Organization that was taking a rest in Pingyun had rushed over to find out what had happened.

    Everyone was taken aback as they saw Qin Feng, an E-tier ability user, who was recalling a giant-sized fire dragon.

    ¡°What happened over here?¡±

    ¡°What has made you so angry, Sir?

    ¡°Let¡¯s talk things through. Who¡¯s the one who made this great sir here angry? Apologize immediately!¡±

    All the hubaloo that ensued was just for show, an E-tier aptitude user, an ability user at that, who was overpowered was someone that no one in Pingyun could go up against.

    It was at that moment, a familiar voice was heard.

    ¡°Mayor Qin!¡±

    Qin Feng looked toward the direction and noticed that it was Tan Yue.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, why are you here?¡±

    When Tan Yue met Qin Feng at Sea City, he was still addressing Qin Feng with his full name.

    However, it would be inappropriate to do so now!

    Qin Feng had taken down eight of the members from the Dark Coalition by himself, and he had also decapitated the famous One-Eye, Shademaster, and Savage King who had caused chaos in Fengli colony, he had even kept all of the decapitated skulls as plunders.

    Since then, there were many that would want to trade at Fengli colony!

    ¡°Tan Yue!¡± His timing was impable.

    Although Qin Feng was an E-tier aptitude user, hecked the power to convince the others in Pingyun to fully cooperate with him.

    ¡°The Wilderness Exploration Army from Chengbei gave me some intel, and I was passing by this ce for my practice!¡±

    Qin Feng had long prepared the excuse for himself!

    Tan Yue did not suspect anything either, and he could not resist the urge to ask, ¡°Did something happen here just now?¡±

    He was surprised to see Qin Feng using his Fire Dragon Style.

    After all, it was the ultimate skill that required arge amount of conscious energy with every use.

    However, Tan Yue did not know that the seemingly taxing Fire Dragon Style was just a simple task for Qin Feng, and he would only use it when necessary, after all, it was too overwhelming and eye-catching!

    Qin Feng replied immediately, ¡°As the space stabilizing device was released earlier, I was able to sense danger here, and when I arrived I noticed the presence of an advanced wisdom tribe entity!¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    At that moment, everyone else in the surrounding was as equally shocked as Tan Yue.

    Everyone was fearful of the presence of advanced wisdom tribes.

    ¡°What, what type of enemy was that?¡±

    Someone from the crowd could not resist the urge and asked.

    Qin Feng replied with a deep voice, ¡°E3-tier Wraith Devil, advanced wisdom tribe, does not have any physical attacks, fearful of fire and light abilities, however, these are all irrelevant to all of you!¡±

    Qin Feng took a deep breath and continued, ¡°It¡¯s because the Wraith Devil was a king-tier entity!¡±

    King-tier?

    Everyone was shocked and inhaled deeply when the name was mentioned!

    It would require the city¡¯s defending artillery to destroy an ordinary E-tier ultra beast, and the strongest aptitude user in Pingyun was only F-tier.

    Neither the train captain nor the leader of the patrol team would be able to defend against it.

    Furthermore, Qin Feng had now revealed to them that it was an E-tier from an advanced wisdom tribe, and a king-tier at that!

    It was indeed horrifying.

    None of them could imagine what would happen in the future, as if a sharp dagger was hanging on top of their heads.

    ¡°The person that got away, do you all know him? Let¡¯s begin the arrest now! Avoid close contact with that person, or your life might be at risk!¡± Qin Feng asked the patrol team members.

    It was at that moment, Fang Yue replied with a trembling voice, ¡°Yes, it was Guang Xiaogang!¡±

    Guang Xiaogang was one of the unlucky ones that was being devoured by the Wraith Devil.

    Besides Qian Yuan, he was one of the most powerful people present at the scene.

    Unfortunately, his body was now a host to the Wraith Devil!

    Qin Feng seemed irritated by it.

    ¡°Why did all of you not listen to me when Imanded all of you to go?¡±

    Qian Yuan and the sisters of the Fang family remained silent and dared not answer that question.

    They were unaware of what was happening when Qin Fengmanded them to leave without specifying the reason, they thought that the situation was under control when they saw Qin Feng¡¯s dominance over the Wraith Devil.

    Who would have thought that the creature was a humanlike king-tier entity?

    With that in mind, was it not true that it had also shown that Qin Feng was indeed a horrifying presence as he was able to go up against a king-tier entity?

    What was his actual identity?

    ¡°While the Wraith Devil has not returned yet, all of you should leave Pingyun, or else, death will take you down even without you noticing it!¡±

    ¡°But...¡± Fang Yue became even more doubtful as the sky had already turned dark, they were all reluctant to risk their lives in the wilderness again as they had already encountered a beast general earlier, it might even be worse if they were to go out again.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, allow us to follow you, then, we will definitely be safe!¡± Fang Ling suggested.

    Qin Feng sneered and replied, ¡°Why? To hold me back? Just like what Guang Xiaogang had done earlier? Though, with your capabilities, all of you would not contribute much of abat power to the Wraith Devil even if you were to be devoured by it!¡±

    Another person then approached them and interrupted the conversation.

    ¡°Greetings to you, Sir, I am Yu Gang, the mayor of Pingyun Colony!¡±

    A chubby looking person that seemed to be about fifty years old approached with an F8-tier aptitude user badge on his chest, and although there was still presence of his internal energy, Qin Feng was already able to sense weakness from him that was caused by ack of training!

    It would be more appropriate tobel Yu Gang as a trader rather than a person in charge!

    He was also holding a managerial position within the Zhongcheng Organization.

    There was a pungent smell of alcohol and cigarette smoke from his body that was nauseating to the stomach.

    ¡°Greetings to you! I am Qin Feng! Head of the Fengli colony under Chengyang City!¡± Qin Feng offered a handshake as he introduced himself.

    ¡°Fengli?¡± Yu Gang¡¯s eyes were wide open when he heard the name, there was a great number of advertisements from Fengli colony recently, and Pingyun had also received quite a few orders from Fengli.

    ¡°My pleasure!¡± Yu Gang instantly replied with a handshake.

 Chapter 245 - Tragedy At the Bar

    <h4>Chapter 245: Tragedy At the Bar</h4>

    Yu Gang was showing a lot of hospitality to Qin Feng for being his guest but Qin Feng did not have the time for all the formalities. He briefly walked Yu Gang through everything while telling him the method to handle the problem.

    ¡°E3-tier Wraith Devil, king-tier? Are you sure about that? Why would such a powerful enemy appear here?¡±

    Yu Gang obviously did not believe in what Qin Feng was telling him, without witnessing it with his own eyes, he refused to believe it.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face hardened upon hearing the response from Yu Gang.

    ¡°If you choose not to believe, then sit back and wait for Pingyun to transform into a ghost town, I am just being helpful in giving my advice, after all, I was just passing by!¡±

    Yu Gang was instantly unsettled by Qin Feng¡¯s anger, however, there was still hesitation within him even though he was fearful of Qin Feng.

    After all, Qin Feng was a highly regarded E-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°Master Qin, I did not mean that, this is just too overwhelming for me, why would an E-tier beast king appear here, I would still have to address a valid reason to the publicter!¡±

    Qin Feng replied with a deep voice, ¡°This question should be answered by this ability user here, when I was alerted by the space stabilizing device and arrived here, he was already possessed, there might be some unknown means used to summon such a horrifyingly unusual entity!¡±

    Qin Feng pointed toward the decapitated youngster whose body was lying on the ground with a massive wound on his back.

    Yu Gang¡¯s blood ran cold.

    It was because he knew that the youngster was an ability user that was receiving special attention from the colony. As there were no universities within Pingyun, any talented ones would receive resources from the colony.

    Yu Gang immediately waved his hand and instructed the others to further investigate for any other possible leads.

    Soon, Yu Gang¡¯smunicator vibrated, someone had provided him with an update.

    Only then, Yu Gang considered Qin Feng¡¯s statement as the truth.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, what should we do now? How do we track down the Wraith Devil?¡±

    Qin Feng replied, ¡°Tan Yue and the others have already gone in pursuit. The best way is to send everyone out from the city and scan everyone with a conscious energy scanning device, those who have been possessed by the Wraith Devil would have their conscious energy way above the normal range. My advice to you is to carry this out as fast as possible!¡±

    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t this... be too much of a hassle!¡± Yu Gang replied as he thought that it would cause too much trouble to the public.

    Yu Gang blew Qin Feng¡¯s top again with his reaction.

    How could he still think it was too much of a hassle to take precautions when faced with an E-tier king?

    ¡°If you¡¯re dead then there would be no more hassle!¡±

    ¡°Please calm down Mr. Qin, what I mean is, isn¡¯t there already an ongoing pursuit? With Pingyun being so small, where else could he escape to?¡±

    Qin Feng was left speechless, some people would never sense the threat until they had seen the grim reaper!

    ***

    It was at that moment, the Wraith Devil that had possessed Guang Xiaogang¡¯s body walked into avish underground bar located at the centre of Pingyun.

    It was still trying to evaluate everything in the world.

    Every time the Wraith Devil devoured a person, it would be able to inherit all of the memories of the soul, and it would be able to recall all the happy and depressing memories.

    Obviously, from Guang Xiaogang¡¯s memories, the happiest ce was one that was filled with beautifuldies.

    At that moment, as soon as the Wraith Devil arrived, it was immediately surrounded by about fivedies that rushed toward him.

    ¡°Hey, Brother Guang, it has been a while!¡±

    ¡°Come,e dance with us!¡±

    ¡°Brother Guang, drink with us!¡±

    The Wraith Devil enjoyed the moment of being surrounded by beautifuldies that were all soft-spoken, and with the past memories of a human being, his ssification of beauty had also adapted to that of a normal human being.

    But still, its soul was itching to devour all of the filthy souls, to him, nothing could be more delicious than that.

    It was at that moment, everybody was alerted by their vibratingmunicators.

    ¡°Beep beep beep, alert, wanted person, level of threatbelled as A-tier, please report immediately if identified! Huge sum of reward awaits.¡±

    Then, an image appeared on themunicator, it was the picture of Guang Xiaogang.

    All of thedies who were surrounding the Wraith Devil were caught unawares, they looked at the image on theirmunicators and took another nce at the Wraith Devil, and one of them who reacted fast enough had tapped on the report option.

    Then, all of the beautifuldies who were initially warmly weing the Wraith Devil began to leave.

    The Wraith Devil was alerted by the vibratingmunicator that belonged to Guan Xiaogang, and it saw the image that had appeared automatically on the screen.

    With the past memories that it had, it was able to read the contents, and it was surprised that the colony had ced him on the wanted list so quickly.

    ¡°Technology? Keke, I can¡¯t even enjoy myself!¡±

    Technology advancement had allowed the traces of the Wraith Devil to be found easily.

    It was still trying to find out more about everything in the world that had caught his interest, yet it was already filled with dangerous threats, and it prompted it to begin its destruction upon the world.

    With that in mind, it identified a girl that was trying to leave without being noticed and it immediately grabbed onto her.

    ¡°Ow...¡±

    It opened its mouth wide and extended a ck tongue, the gory tongue pierced through the centre of the girl¡¯s forehead and crushed her skull into pieces.

    ¡°Arghhhh!¡±

    The bar was instantly filled with fearful screaming.

    ***

    On the other hand, as Qin Feng had already connected hismunicator with Pingyun¡¯s management level, he reacted instantly as soon as he received the report that was made.

    ¡°Quick, move now, lock the area, nobody can enter it, every team member retreat!¡± Tan Yue came over andmanded.

    Every F-tier aptitude user reacted to themand ordingly.

    Even Qian Yuan was involved in dispersing the crowd, at that moment, aptitude users were at the dominant position to givemands.

    Qin Feng took the lead and entered the bar, however, in the short amount of time it took for them to arrive, the bar had already turned into a ughterhouse.

    The deafening music was still ying in the background though there were no presence of living human beings left in the bar, the atmosphere was filled with a revolting stench of fresh blood.

    As soon as Qin Feng stepped inside, his boots were dipped into fresh blood.

    From the outside, the public had connected with the internal surveince system of the bar and was able to witness the scene filled with unprecedented brutality.

    Yu Gang no longer acted nonchntly the moment he saw the number of corpses strewn across the ce, he felt a cold chill run down his spine.

    At that moment, Qin Feng had already arrived at the centre of the bar, his eyes swept across the area as a spotlight shed onto a massive operating station.

    ¡°Whoa!¡±

    The spotlights continued to sh and the music was gradually turned down.

    Without the noise, it would be easier to gather his conscious energy and concentrate.

    All of a sudden, a shadow appeared from the ground and pounced toward Qin Feng.

    It was a girl that had just died, and there was a massive hole in her skull as her face was overflowing with fresh blood mixed with yellowish-white brain mush, it was sickening to say the least!

    Boom!

    A powerful force rammed into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Qin Feng raised his Verdant Emperor Saber and defended with an attack that sliced his opponent into half.

    However, it was at that moment, every dead corpse on the ground began to crawl up and lunge toward Qin Feng with an insane urge to kill him.

    ¡°These would not stop me, show yourself now!¡±

    Qin Feng spoke as he casted out mes that were surrounding his body.

    A gigantic ring of fire circled around Qin Feng and rose up, plowing through the corpses.

    Then, a shadow rose up from under Qin Feng¡¯s feet and grabbed onto his leg!

    ¡°Keke, you shall die now! Be my puppet!¡±

    A massive dark rune began to rise up and wrap around him, Qin Feng was engulfed by a ray of ck light!

 Chapter 246 - Pingyun Gets Devastated

    <h4>Chapter 246: Pingyun Gets Devastated</h4>

    The beam of light was very powerful and had a full diameter of three meters. It soared through the air, smashing the roof of the bar as it swept across the building.

    The bar was built under a twenty-meter-high shoppingplex, and at this terrifying force it split the building right down the center.

    Boom-crash!

    The whole building copsed as the huge ck light churned the clouds above, turning them dark. As the light hit the sky, those who looked up saw the formation of a terrifying vortex.

    An E-tier king was definitely not a ¡®small problem¡¯.

    In the previous battle, it was obvious that the Wraith Devil was just not used to being in this new-found world.

    Then, ck runes began to spread out and the surrounding people began to feel like they were being suffocated as their bodies were deprived of energy that was quickly being drained from them, and their originally healthy skin started to rot.

    Their eyes sank into their heads and popped out, pus dripping from the now empty eye sockets. Their bodies began to emit a foul smell.

    ¡°Hee...¡± These people¡¯s throats could no longer produce normal human sounds as the whole body had been transformed into a rotting zombie!

    Dark rune infection.

    Besides having powerful consciousness, the Wraith Devil had an even stronger ability which was to spread this zombie infection.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°Quick, attack and kill them all! These people are all getting infected!¡±

    ¡°Dark runes. Be careful, and don¡¯t let any of them bite you!¡±

    All of Pingyun¡¯s ability users surrounded the area as battle broke out. They had physical qualities that were beyond the standard human body and would not be as easily affected but the ordinary civilians were all infected by now.

    Not only that, the infection was spreading like wildfire. Nobody dared to think about the person in the center of all that darkness.

    That person was an E-tier ancient warrior and ability user.

    If the person were to get infected as well then they would not just be dealing with one advanced wisdom tribe king, but two!

    In the center of the pir of darkness that nobody had the leisure to pay attention to, the powerful dark runes were spreading at a terrifying pace as they tried to invade Qin Feng¡¯s body to deprive him of the breath of life.

    ¡°Absorption!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s ability was activated as he frantically devoured the dark runes around him. These runes became integrated within his consciousness and expelled the immediate danger.

    These runes were powerful and Qin Feng was not entirely immune to dark runes, especially if the opponent was a king.

    ¡°Not reciprocating is against etiquette!¡±

    Qin Feng suddenly bent down and grabbed the Wraith Devil¡¯s hand. It had been hiding underground and should have been intangible, he could not have been able to grab hold of it.

    However, his hand was wreathed in dark runes and using the runes he was able to get a hold of the entity.

    ¡°Burn!¡±

    He activated his fire runes, sting directly into the ground.

    Powerful fire runes and dark runes collided with one another, and the shockwave turned the ground around them to magma.

    Then the two physically collided.

    Boom!

    The runes exploded and scattered all over the ce, Qin Feng had managed to disrupt the vortex that was forming in the sky. The Wraith Devil was wrapped in dark runes so it did not take in any damage. It quickly opened its mouth and bit down on Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Ugh!¡± Qin Feng groaned, feeling numbness in his hand before he lost feeling of it entirely. This was an attack on his consciousness.

    The Wraith Devil¡¯s strength was still very powerful. Qin Feng had to let go and it sank back underground, disappearing entirely.

    It escaped once again!

    Qin Feng¡¯s face darkened considerably.

    Outside, there came the sounds of battle. There were countless zombies still writhing on the ground. The only way to kill them was to cut off the heads, nothing else seemed to be working.

    More and more of them emerged from the woodwork. These creatures that mutated from ordinary civilians only had strength that was around G-tier but their strength was infinite.

    The aptitude users were getting outnumbered by the sheer quantity of what used to be ordinary civilians. After they had transformed, the aptitude users were justmbs waiting to be ughtered.

    Fortunately, Qin Feng burst out from the ruins of the bar and resolved their immediate crisis.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    The entire street became shrouded in mes. The moment these rotting corpses came into contact with Qin Feng¡¯s Hellfire, they turned into ashes in just one or two seconds.

    After all, Qin Feng had incredible consciousness and the abilities he threw out were stronger than the ones he unleashed before. These zombies were too weak to withstand that.

    ¡°Mayor Qin! You¡¯re alright!¡± Tan Yue saw Qin Feng¡¯s unscathed form and felt a sense of relief wash over him. If Qin Feng had turned into a zombie, they would have spiraled into even more despair!

    ¡°Evacuate the people in the colony, hurry up!¡±

    There were at least a thousand zombies currently present within the colony but there were tens and thousands of uninfected civilians. As long as they could be quickly rescued, there was still hope.

    The most important thing was that when these people had been evacuated, Qin Feng could stop holding back and finally take care of this Wraith Devil. Not to mention, the more souls the Wraith Devil consumed, the stronger it would get.

    After all, it originally evolved by consuming other advanced wisdom tribes.

    After the world before ceased to be, there were only a few people who had awakened to be ancient warriors or ability users. The majority of the awakened were actually gunners, proving that the human being¡¯s greatest advantage was in fact their consciousness.

    As such, even the souls of ordinary people were a big supplement for the Wraith Devil. More than two hundred thousand people had been lost to the entity in the previous world and it had evolved into a D-tier.

    Qin Feng naturally could not wait for the entity to grow even stronger.

    This time, not only Tan Yue, but also Yu Gang who seemedzy and hated inconveniences, had quickly issued an emergency notice. He was running faster than everyone else.

    While Pingyun did not have much to offer, what it did have were cars.

    People quickly evacuated, any zombie that got in the way was quickly obliterated by artillery fire.

    Qin Feng followed after the search and destroy party, burning every zombie he found into ashes.

    Pingyun, which was wrapped in cheers during the day, had turned into a hellscape by night.

    After one night, only ten thousand people managed to escape Pingyun. Not only that, these ten thousand people might start decaying at any moment. Tan Yue urgently mobilized the medical team to begin their treatment.

    In Pingyun, they were left with people who could not escape, zombies and a Wraith Devil that could be hiding anywhere.

    Qin Feng stood on top of the Zhongcheng Organization¡¯s office building, overlooking the entire colony.

    The light of dawn gradually came over the horizon as day broke. Although the entity was an E-tier beast king, it did not like daylight due to it being a dark entity. He did not need to worry about it trying to escape.

    He closed his eyes to refresh his mind, ready to mobilize his consciousness at any moment upon news of the Wraith Devil.

    Meanwhile, a dozen people were huddled together inside a dark basement, shivering uncontrobly.

    Yesterday, after the zombies began to appear, these people had no form of defense against the creatures. Even after the emergency evacuation notice had sounded, all they could do was hunker down in this basement and hope that the army would arrive to save them.

    Unfortunately, little did they know that the true enemy were not the zombies.

    From the darkness, a shadowy figure emerged from the wall and in a sh began to rush toward the group.

    ¡°Aaahhh!¡±

    Screams of distress rang out from the unlit basement.

 Chapter 247 - Wraith Devilâ€™s Evolution

    Chapter 247: Wraith Devil¡¯s Evolution

    Standing on the tallest spot, Qin Feng felt fluctuations beyond that of ordinary people¡¯s consciousness.

    ¡°It¡¯s there!¡±

    Qin Feng instantly disappeared from where he was, internal force flowing through his legs as he leapt toward the base of a building.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was brought out as the ground rushed up to meet him!

    Boom!

    He crashed right through the ground!

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    Several rotting zombies suddenly rushed toward him.

    With the sweep of the Verdant Emperor Saber, Qin Feng instantly killed all of them.

    He soon found a basement after striding forward. The basement was defended by security measures that were roughly around F-tier, which could not really do much to stop Qin Feng.

    ¡°Open!¡± He swung the huge Verdant Emperor Saber and cleaved through the steel door. As soon as the door was opened up, several corpses rushed out to meet him.

    The Wraith Devil had sucked these people dry, but at this moment these things had yet evolved into more problematic creatures just yet as they rushed at Qin Feng like any typical undead being.

    Two or three sword swings managed to get rid of all of them, and he caught the Wraith Devil slipping into the shadows and worming its way back to the surface.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡± Qin Feng sent fire to the basement and burnt the corpses into a crisp. He did not n on leaving anything behind for the entity and proceeded to chase after it.

    Boom, boom, boom!

    He smashed throughyer afteryer, pursuing the Wraith Devil in a chaotic chase. However, the Wraith Devil had no substance and Qin Feng was only making things worse for himself.

    In the blink of an eye, he managed to destroy the building above, causing its copse. He let the Wraith Devil escape again!

    Qin Feng¡¯s face took on a sullen expression as he looked for another ce to sit cross-legged in meditation to scan for the entity.

    Meanwhile, those who were sitting outside were not just standing idle. Innumerable drones had been sent to monitor the interiors of Pingyun and professional gunners had been preparing devices that would help them detect the Wraith Devil¡¯s consciousness so that they could deal with it.

    Right now their efforts were not the most sessful, but since they carried on without obstruction they could see everything that was happening inside Pingyun.

    ¡°If we haven¡¯t found the Wraith Devil, I¡¯d say that it¡¯s Qin Feng who¡¯s wrecking our colony,¡± Yu Gang said out loud.

    ¡°The man doesn¡¯t have that much free time, he came here and left his colony to their own devices. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that this was a beast king he wouldn¡¯t have so much intent to kill it. He¡¯s like some kind of a Hero-ss. Just you wait, he¡¯s not going to quit just because something is troublesome!¡±

    The Wraith Devil was indeed troublesome. It would vanish without a trace, what a difficult thing to capture! Even if it was caught, Qin Feng could not kill it without using special measures.

    He was moving through the ruins now, destroying every zombie in sight.

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    Just a little bit of his fire could reduce these things to ashes. Each of them had an energy core, and that was the source that allowed their motor functions.

    ¡°Lets go!¡±

    He hunted the corpses everywhere. By daytime, Pingyun was to return to its peace and quiet, on the surface, the zombies had all disappeared.

    ¡°Should have brought Bai Li along,¡± he grumbled before looking up to the sky. The sun was starting to move into the horizon. It was getting close to sunset.

    The Wraith Devil had been secretly pursuing Qin Feng, only to get caught and then run away again. This game of cat and mouse had led to him destroying most of the buildings in Pingyun.

    Arge number of the zombies had been burned by Qin Feng, further diminishing the likelihood of the Wraith Devil¡¯s evolution.

    As he had gone through rebirth, he understood entities like the Wraith Devil. They were not suited for life on the, especially during the day as the entity was extremely weak then. It was now heavily restricted by Qin Feng¡¯s fire, and despite it being still alive from their battle, the Wraith Devil felt a heightened sense of danger.

    Advanced wisdom tribes had special methods of evolution!

    In order to prevent fire or light from damaging themselves, they would usually just find a body to hide in. Originally, the Wraith Devil chose Qin Feng as its host.

    It was a pity that it failed, and ended up bing Qin Feng¡¯s greatest enemy.

    This time, when it got dark, the zombies carefully moved about and started to form small groups.

    Ten thousand people had fled from Pingyun, and within a day¡¯s time, with Qin Feng¡¯s help and defense, two thousand more managed to escape.

    The darkness infectionst night caused too many people to decay overnight, but now there were only eight thousand zombies left roaming the colony. Qin Feng had killed off a lot of them during the day and the rest were gradually disappearing.

    During this time, a new king was born among the ruins.

    The entity stood at the height of an average man, and while it might seem like a person from far away, its entire body was covered in ck armor. The only thing that resembled a human was the appearance of its face.

    The Wraith Devil had stolen Guang Xiaogang¡¯s body and it happened to be the strongest body it had in hand.

    At this time, zombies began to crawl toward it.

    Pop!

    The thing that used to be Guang Xiaogang raised a hand and brought its ws down onto the skull of a zombie, sshing yellowed brain matter onto the ground as it ripped out an energy core and swallowed it without a second thought.

    One after the other. Its physical strength began to rise.

    Darkness shrouded the area, nobody noticed any movement there. Even the Wraith Devil was not aware that there was a pair of eyes watching him this entire time.

    Qin Feng was there, hidden in the dark.

    He had been hiding his dark abilities since the beginning, which led to the Wraith Devil feeling that it was strange that he had not rotted away even after standing in the center of the beam of darkness.

    Besides that, the Wraith Devil did not know that Qin Feng could see in the dark. The Dark Shadow that the entity casted was merely darker than all the shadows that Qin Feng was used to seeing.

    This was way too obvious. He still had not taken any action. He was waiting.

    Finally, the Wraith Devil had consumed all of the bodies. Densely packed around him were just headless corpses, it had reached E-tier.

    Just barely.

    ¡°Curses!¡± The Wraith Devil felt that if it had eaten all the human souls before corrupting them he would have gotten a stronger body. It was a shame that that was impossible now.

    Qin Feng left behind too little zombies for it to consume.

    ¡°Cunning human!¡±

    After he had killed the zombies, he did not just take away the energy crystal core. He took them with him, and since even the bodies were burnt to a crisp there was nothing left for the entity.

    This was the equivalent of crippling the Wraith Devil¡¯s power. However, the entity had its own ns, in his mind, Qin Feng was the best vessel. All he needed to do was to kill the human.

    ¡°Rise!¡± The Wraith Devil suddenly called out. A st of darkness spread out to the headless bodies, causing them all to stand up and merge together in a gory and twisted manner as they melded together into a gigantic mass.

    Bones were snapping and muscles were contorted as the dead now formed into a huge humanoid shape. Perhaps there were limitations to the size, the thing was only about fifteen meters tall. From the looks of it, it had to be as tall as a five-to-six-storey tall building.

    Where the head was supposed to be was the Wraith Devil, its legs sinking down into the neck area of the giant as countless beams of darkness began to emit from its body.

    The monstrous figure gave off an even more terrifying aura.

    Even a fleeting nce sent chills down the spine.

 Chapter 248 - Holy Light Mortar Shells

    <h4>Chapter 248: Holy Light Mortar Shells</h4>

    Outside of the colony, the monitor disyed the visuals of a giant humanoid creature that broke through the darkness as it appeared on the detector.

    ¡°What is that?¡±

    ¡°Look!¡±

    ¡°What kind of monster is that?¡±

    Everyone took in a breath, because of the Wraith Devil¡¯s appearance they had deliberately investigated the entity.

    However, they had no idea what type of form this was.

    ¡°This must be a beast king¡¯s special evolutionary method! I¡¯m afraid that we¡¯re now seeing its final form!¡± Tan Yue said.

    After all, it looked rather weak earlier on!

    Except the Wraith Devil was nowhere near a weakling, it was just that it was being held back by Qin Feng!

    Qin Feng was standing in a building that had been cut off by the waist. A ss window covered his figure and surrounding him was a patch of darkness.

    ¡°So, it has appeared!¡±

    This was the Wraith Devil¡¯s final form, he had known because he had seen this form face-off against E-tier aptitude users before.

    Of course, in the end it was the Wraith Devil that won and the strong ones who faced it made a final conclusion that it was only in this state that the Wraith Devil could be killed.

    Otherwise, in the soul-like state, it could escape at any time it wanted.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness reached into a space and pulled out a massive gun barrel.

    This gun barrel had a diameter that was almost a full meter long. Being a mortar, it required the strength of a D-tier ancient warrior to carry it around. His body wasparable to that of a humanoid beast king, so his power was naturally enough to carry the mortar around without much trouble.

    ¡°Bring it on!¡±

    Qin Feng loaded in a mortar shell, the shell waspletely white and emitted a warm glow. He found that the glow actually made him feel slightly ufortable.

    Click.

    Once the shell was properly loaded, Qin Feng pointed it at the Wraith Devil and pulled the trigger.

    Bzzzzt!

    The mortar¡¯s muzzle began to gather up a white light before it violently shot out.

    A dazzling white light streaked through the night sky, colliding dead on the body of the corpse giant that the Wraith Devil was controlling.

    The white light instantly enveloped the target.

    ¡°Aaahhh!¡± The Wraith Devil bellowed in pain, quickly controlling the corpse giant to dodge the attack. There was a hole that had been punched into the giant¡¯s abdomen and judging from how ck smoke wasing out of its body, the attack had made a hole that ran straight out on the other side.

    This Holy Light Energy Bomb was extremely expensive, each of them was worth about 300 million yuan. Firing one was basically like throwing money into a furnace.

    Fortunately, Qin Feng did not own these shells. He picked them up from a group of gunners back on the ind.

    Killing the Wraith Devil with these would be so worth it!

    At this point, the Wraith Devil was experiencing excruciating pain after the attack. It was like its very soul was being burned.

    The beams of darkness that had been turned into threads which were wrapped around the corpse giant were actually part of its soul. Anytime the threads were damaged meant that the soul would get damaged as well. Even if it was not killed by the attacks, it would have dropped off from being a king-tier.

    The Wraith Devil did not dare resist, in fact it was in despair. Everything that Qin Feng had brought could restrain him.

    How could Qin Feng let him run away?

    Boom!

    Qin Feng smashed the ss and went after the creature in quick pursuit.

    Bzzzt!

    Another bolt of light began to emanate from the mortar that he was carrying on his shoulder.

    The beam cut through the sky.

    ¡°Great Wall of Corpses!¡±

    The corpse giant waved its hand and quickly summoned up a massive wall made of decaying corpses in front of it to block this light.

    Poof!

    The light beam instantly punctured the great wall like an arrow through paper as the decayed corpses it touched instantly disintegrated.

    The wall bought the giant just enough time to avoid getting hit by the light but by now Qin Feng was already fifty meters in front of it.

    ¡°Another one!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s mortar fired three more times.

    This time, the giant had learned how to avoid being in the trajectory of the light beams as they only seemed to travel in a straight line.

    ¡°Turn!¡±

    Changing the direction of energy beams was more difficult than that of a simple artillery shell, but for Qin Feng, he had no problems whatsoever.

    In a sh, one beam suddenly bent at an angle tond a direct hit on the giant¡¯s body.

    Boom!

    The corpse stumbled and began to fall, smashing several buildings as it did. Taking hits from an energy beam made by light runes twice was quite debilitating even for the king-tier Wraith Devil.

    The corpse giant copsed back into its many headless bodies before it quickly reformed, seemingly as good as new. However, it obviously looked like it had just shrunk about half a meter.

    Qin Feng retracted the gun barrel and put rune equipment onto his left arm as he broke into a mad dash forward.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    The Wraith Devilmanded the corpse giant to swing at him, a giant fist quicklying into view.

    The massive fist roared as it was flung forward, but Qin Feng did not want to collide with it. The ck threads had changed the strength of the corpses, each of them had be a part of the beast king¡¯s structure.

    This was the Wraith Devil¡¯s ability. Assimtion!

    Boom!

    There was a huge pit left at where Qin Feng stood before. By that time, he had already reappeared somewhere else.

    ¡°Grasp of Death!¡±

    The Wraith Devilmanded again, and another hand swept through the air as it rapidly approached the ground.

    Within the palm of the corpse giant¡¯s hand were multiple other hands from the corpses that made up its huge gait. If Qin Feng were to get caught by therge hand, the many smaller ones would make it impossible to escape.

    When he tried to evade it, it was already toote!

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    He raised his hand and the fire dragon burst out, mming into the giant hand.

    The fire dragon then shot out into the sky, the people outside of Pingyun could clearly see the force of this shocking power from the released energy.

    In themand vehicle outside of Pingyun, the people who were watching the surveince drone footage were worried.

    ¡°Who do you think will win?¡± An F-tier aptitude user asked, swallowing hard. In their hearts, they all hoped that Qin Feng would be the victor.

    However, the Wraith Devil was disying an incredible amount of strength and nobody dared underestimate it. Even in the current situation it looked like the creature was obviously stronger.

    They were hoping that Qin Feng still had a few tricks up his sleeve, otherwise the winner and the loser of this battle had yet to be decided!

    Then again, they obviously underestimated Qin Feng. When they were estimating his powers, they mostly regarded his capabilities as an ability user, but Qin Feng¡¯s strongest power should be one as an ancient warrior.

    Qin Feng¡¯s huge internal force and physical strength made him fearless in this thrilling battle. The two were locked in an earth-shattering battle within Pingyun.

    Pap pap pap!

    Several drones were destroyed in the dark. As Qin Feng surveyed with his consciousness, he found out that there were no longer any drones surrounding him!

    By now, the battle between him and the giant hadsted for about ten hours! Nobody could believe that a person could persist for such a long time. Including the first night, Qin Feng had basically been fighting for two days and two nights straight!

    Dawn was quietly approaching.

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡±

    Upon discovering this, the Wraith Devil began to shroud itself in darkness to defend from the sunlight. It was also nning on killing Qin Feng in the dark.

    ¡°Split!¡±

    The left hand of the giant broke apart, and ten headless bodies fell from it just as the entire thing was consumed by darkness.

    In the blink of an eye, their aura turned to that of a beast king¡¯s.

    They got up and rushed right at Qin Feng.

 Chapter 249 - The Soul Pearl

    <h4>Chapter 249: The Soul Pearl</h4>

    The corner of Qin Feng¡¯s mouth twitched.

    This was the moment he had been waiting for!

    His entire body was also suddenly shrouded in darkness, and in the next moment, he hadpletely disappeared.

    ¡°Impossible!¡± The Wraith Devil¡¯s eyes widened at the sight.

    Their surroundings had be as dark as night.

    Originally, it had released a Dark Fog Cloud which would not have affected its vision. It could see Qin Feng and Qin Feng would not be able to see him.

    Now, there were two dense Dark Fog Clouds in the air around them.

    Qin Feng, too, had activated his Dark Fog Cloud.

    But then, the Wraith Devil suddenly began to sink into the corpse giant¡¯s body.

    ¡°And chop!¡±

    Qin Feng leapt up to the giant¡¯s body, shing at where the giant¡¯s head should be. That was where the Wraith Devil had been standing but it was already escaping!

    The neck of the corpse giant suddenly extended arge pair of hands to grab at him.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber shed in his hands, unleashing a power that seemed other-worldly.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    His internal force bursted out then downward, sword shing through the air as it cleaved the giant corpse into two parts.

    ¡°What?!¡± The Wraith Devil eximed before letting out a roar.

    Crash!

    The giant¡¯s body copsed to the ground, exploding into countless headless zombies that began to rush toward Qin Feng.

    It was at this moment Qin Feng suddenly mobilized his consciousness.

    ¡°Light of Death!¡±

    Darkness erupted from his body and instantly enveloped the zombies around him.

    The zombies were not afraid of this darkness and they wanted to see just how powerful this was. They soon learned that the darkness felt like maggots burrowing into them, tearing and dissolving whatever ck threads that the Wraith Devil had decorated them with.

    ¡°What? You!¡± The Wraith Devil finally understood why its own dark ability did not affect Qin Feng, because the other was also a messenger of darkness. Not only that, he was stronger too.

    At this point, it could feel its own body¡¯s energy being drained away by its opponent¡¯s own power.

    Crick!

    One zombie that was covered in darkness had its flesh scoured right off before the skeleton underneath was exposed. Then, the skeleton began to turn into ashes as it copsed.

    If the Wraith Devil¡¯s dark ability was to summon and control zombies, then Qin Feng¡¯s was to destroy and consume them.

    Both were dark abilities but their usage and effects were entirely different.

    ¡°No!¡±

    These were all the souls under the Wraith Devil¡¯s control, and Qin Feng destroying them was resulting in him bing weaker and weaker.

    The Wraith Devil¡¯s strength had be extremely weak by then.

    ¡°Kill him!¡± It frantically mobilized its abilities, calling for the beast-king-level headless zombies to attack Qin Feng.

    With a circling sweep of the Verdant Emperor Saber, he killed them all.

    After Qin Feng had revealed his own dark abilities, the situation was turned on its head. The Wraith Devil now had no zombies at his side and its soul had be severely weakened.

    ¡°You¡¯re dead!¡±

    Qin Feng began to rush toward it.

    The Wraith Devil also pounced forward, as if it knew that it was going to die but did not n on doing so without a fight.

    Pop!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber lopped off Guang Xiaogang¡¯s head.

    Unexpectedly, a ck wed hand erupted from behind Guang Xiaogang¡¯s back and wrapped around Qin Feng¡¯s waist.

    ¡°Assimtion!¡±

    What a powerful consciousness!

    Qin Feng suddenly felt that his spirit was getting weaker, like he was spent and that he could just copse on the ground. It felt like the power of his consciousness was leaving him.

    He felt the current state of the Wraith Devil.

    It manipted Guang Xiaogang¡¯s headless body to raise its ck scaly ws to grab at Qin Feng¡¯s chest.

    Qin Feng reacted by raising his left hand, causing mes to erupt from it.

    Crack!

    Guang Xiaogang¡¯s w hit Qin Feng¡¯s body first, and he could see from the corner of his eye the decapitated head spread its lips into a wide, gleeful grin.

    That was thest expression his face made.

    The sharp, ck scaly w did not puncture Qin Feng¡¯s clothing at all.

    This article of clothing had been made out of beast king material. With the force of this recently evolved, pseudo beast king that had a weak consciousness, it would have never been able to pierce through it.

    At the same time, the light of the mespletely enveloped Guang Xiaogang¡¯s body.

    Boom!

    The mes grew hotter, engulfing the body so quickly that even if the Wraith Devil wanted to escape it was already toote for that!

    ¡°Aaahhh!!!¡± The Wraith Devil let out a long, ear-piercing shriek as Guang Xiaogang¡¯s body was reduced to ashes, leaving behind only its soul which began to shrink under the burning heat until it was reduced to a sphere that was roughly around the size of its former host¡¯s fist.

    This was an ability core, it was also a soul pearl.

    Qin Feng picked up the soul pearl without any hesitation and began to absorb the energy inside.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    A majestic dark rune floated out from the soul pearl, following quickly behind it was a surge of consciousness.

    His consciousness quickly reached its peak again, not only that, it continued to rise.

    E4 tier!

    Even after he had reached E-tier, he was continuing to go another step higher. This would have taken a normal ability user years of work to achieve.

    He felt his consciousness spread out into what felt like infinity, and once again felt the rush of advancing.

    The sun wasing up from the horizon by now, it was a brand new dawn.

    The dark runes were gradually dispelled by the light as Qin Feng began to take slow and firm steps out of the ruins.

    This battle was finally over!

    He moved out of Pingyun step by step, approaching the temporary station that had been erected outside.

    When the defensive gunners saw Qin Feng walking out, they felt a chill go down their spines.

    After all, they knew what kind of creature the Wraith Devil was and the thought that crossed their minds terrified them.

    ¡°The fight¡¯s over? Then... Mayor Qin won?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, the drones never sent in the news. What if, hear me out, what if the Wraith Devil won?¡±

    ¡°Then who the heck is that?¡±

    There were no cheers, no warm wee. Everyone stared at Qin Feng with fear.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was spread even broader this time, and he could detect what the gunners were feeling.

    In a moment of excitement, he consumed the soul pearl. This meant that he did not have proof and that just made the situation harder to exin.

    Thinking of this, he stopped. Then he raised his hand and summoned his hovercraft.

    ¡°Tan Yue. I know you guys are afraid of me right now, so I think it¡¯s best if I leave without causing any more trouble!¡± said Qin Feng.

    When Tan Yue heard the news, he was still a little skeptical but he did not dare say it out loud. ¡°How could you? Mayor Qin, I should be entertaining you for one, after all you must be exhausted after fighting for so many days!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately refused, ¡°Nope. I¡¯m just passing through anyway.¡±

    ¡°Mayor Qin, you¡¯ve helped our city a lot this time. I¡¯ll make an application saying that I asked you for help and to give you a certain amount of points so you can redeem whatever you want!¡±

    ¡°Oh? Well that sounds pretty good, though I just hope you people won¡¯t me me for leveling Pingyun.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a paltry sum!¡± Tan Yue quickly said, noting that Qin Feng had used Holy Light Mortar Shells. Those were extraordinarily pricey but if Qin Feng wanted reimbursement, they would be willing to provide!

    ¡°Thank you in advance!¡±

    Qin Feng said while turning away from the crowd, not looking back as he got into his hovercraft and drove away.

 Chapter 250 - Pulling a Tooth from The Tigerâ€™s Maw

    <h4>Chapter 250: Pulling a Tooth from The Tiger¡¯s Maw</h4>

    ¡°Do you think Mr. Qin might be offended by our behavior?¡± Yu Gung said as he watched Qin Feng¡¯s retreating figure and trembled a little.

    Tan Yue also felt a little uneasy. He bit on his lip for a moment before saying, ¡°Apply for Mr. Qin¡¯s battle achievements, even if he says it¡¯s fine, since these achievements can make up for whatever transgressions we¡¯ve had with him!¡±

    The most important thing was that Tan Yue was actually afraid that Qin Feng was actually the Wraith Devil¡¯s new host.

    Including today, it had been three days since the Wraith Devil¡¯s appeared in Pingyun.

    The neighbouring cities had finally decided to send aptitude users over, but they had suddenly received news that the battle was already over. The news that Tan Yue and the rest delivered made those in charge scratch their heads.

    ¡°Rewards first. Then we¡¯ll talk about whates next!¡±

    In the end, ording to calctions, Qin Feng¡¯s battle gave him three hundred thousand internal points for the Zhongcheng Organization.

    As he was leaving Pingyun, he closed his eyes and began to rest, but his peace was disturbed when he felt themunicator on his wrist suddenly vibrate.

    It was a notification.

    It told him that he had temporarily be part of the Zhongcheng Organization¡¯s internal staff, minus the luxury of an employee discount. That 300,000 points he just received had to be used quickly as well, then his status of being an internal staff member would be revoked and the special page would be closed.

    Upon seeing this, Qin Feng understood what the organization meant.

    ¡°It¡¯s better than nothing!¡±

    Qin Feng had merely wanted to take down the Wraith Devil, the rewards from the Zhongcheng Organization were not essential to him.

    But when he essed the Zhongcheng Organization¡¯s page, he had to take a moment to catch his breath. Their collection was definitely bigger than the collection in Fu City.

    The items they provided were worth less than 300,000 points, but there were plenty of things that would be of use for E-tier aptitude users.

    All in all, Fu City only had one D-tier aptitude user but there were several of them in the Zhongcheng Organization, even their organization¡¯s chairman was no small fry.

    Qin Feng did not want to get lost in the selection so he decided to sort the search filters from the highest to lowest price.

    Suddenly, extremely valuable things began to appear in front of his eyes. The first one that caught his attention was the Lava Flow Style that got its name from the Fire Dragon Style.

    Since the Fire Dragon Style was given a discount when he was in Fu City, he only needed 100,000 points to redeem it. Now, he did not have a discount, so he did not really hold the 300,000 points with much consideration.

    ¡°Redeem the Lava Flow Style and transfer it to Fengli colony!¡±

    Right after he ced the order, the internal staff¡¯s ess also disappeared. Qin Feng adjusted hismunicator so that nobody would disturb him, closed his eyes to regainposure and quickly fell asleep.

    The Zhongcheng Organization also received the prompt around this time.

    ¡°Qin Feng redeemed something!¡±

    ¡°What is it? Something that replenishes the consciousness? I mean, defeating the Wraith Devil was no small feat!¡±

    ¡°Then you¡¯re saying that he¡¯s actually the Wraith Devil in disguise?¡±

    ¡°What? I can¡¯t still be afraid?¡±

    That was right. Most people were still afraid.

    Afraid that Qin Feng was actually the Wraith Devil¡¯s host. He was already very powerful, if he had been possessed by the Wraith Devil this could only spell disaster in the future!

    Tan Yue let out a sigh of relief, waving a dismissive hand.

    ¡°Stop overthinking it, Qin Feng just redeemed the Lava Flow Style!¡±

    ¡°Magma Style? Doesn¡¯t he already have the Fire Dragon Style?¡±

    ¡°Yes, conjuring a Fire Dragon is extremely difficult, but the Lava Flow Style doesn¡¯t take a lot of energy!¡±

    Tan Yue shook his head, he understood Qin Feng more than these people.

    ¡°It wasn¡¯t long ago that Mr. Qin obtained the Fire Dragon Style. I know that he got it as a reward when he was in Fu City, and from what I¡¯ve heard. It¡¯s hardly been a month and he¡¯s already able to master the ability!¡±

    The people that heard this drew a long breath.

    Suddenly, it felt as if someone like that killing the Wraith Devil was not too far-fetched!

    As for Qian Yuan and the Fang sisters, they thought that Qin Feng was a legend worth remembering for a lifetime!

    ***

    Qin Feng slept for an entire day, and by the time he woke up his car was quickly approaching Chengyang City!

    Hismunicator was turned on again and notifications kept popping up. Obviously, when he was resting everyone had something to say to him.

    He frowned involuntarily when he saw one of the messages.

    Qin Feng called Xue Xingfu¡¯smunicator to contact him and the man responded quickly.

    ¡°Boss, it¡¯s about time you responded. I was starting to worry that something might have happened!¡± Xue Xingfu quickly said.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Ignore whatever nonsense the outsiders say,¡± Qin Feng retorted.

    Xue Xingfu continued, ¡°The transactions have been good recently. People got some goods that weren¡¯t easy to sell and came to us, so we¡¯ve umted a lot of low-level goods. Then, I contacted some small colonies and dumped them on them at lower prices, but when the merchants from a small colony left the area they were robbed by some Dark Coalition people!¡±

    He seemed to be getting angrier as he continued on with the subject, ¡°Only one survivor escaped, running back to Fengli and saying that it¡¯s our fault! That if they didn¡¯t make this trip then they wouldn¡¯t have died. Sure the guy¡¯s calmed down by now but Boss, this ain¡¯t good news!¡±

    As Feng Li was just recently established, there were not many aptitude users around. As such, they only specialized in selling goods instead of selling services.

    Otherwise, the colony would be empty!

    As such, when people left Fengli, whatever happened would be outside of the colony¡¯s control, and when they return to their homes they would want nothing to do with the colony! Since the word was being spread around by the people, any bad rumors equaled bad business. There were plenty of small colonies and in fact, they paved the road to wealth.

    ¡°Did you know who did it?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Yeah. They call themselves the Scorpion Corps,¡± Xue Xingfu replied.

    ¡°So. They want to die too?¡± Qin Feng said coldly. He had recently just killed three people, and it seemed that what he did had not set an example for this group.

    After all, this group only had one E-tier aptitude user.

    Xue Xingfu promptly began to exin, ¡°After thest Wanzong Auction, while a lot of people died in that colony, the Dark Coalition¡¯s people have also suffered heavy losses. Now, these people are fighting a secret war over territory, divvying up their unsavory influence. The head of the Scorpion Corps has recently been making frequent expansions!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered, ¡°Who gave him the courage to even reach this point?¡±

    Xue Xingfu did not dare say anything. He knew Qin Feng enough to know that he was extremely angry right now.

    Qin Feng¡¯s current strength had been restored to E-tier, and because of the examples he had set previously, a lot of people were afraid of him.

    This was the boon of strength.

    He thought that they would be able to have some peace for a few days but it seemed like someone hade along to provoke him again. Whether or not these people were doing it intentionally, he still found it all very troublesome.

    No matter, he would just have to kill them all again to warn those who had secretly been eyeing Fengli colony.

    ¡°The ones to take action surely wouldn¡¯t be them. Just because they don¡¯t enter Fengli they think they¡¯d be safe? What, do they think we arembs for the ughter? Grab some cash and hurry over to the bounty hunterwork and list everyone in that group as ¡®Wanted¡¯. Starting from their boss at one billion, ten million for their F-tier members and one hundred thousand for their G-tier members!¡±

 Chapter 251 - The Wanted Scorpion

    <h4>Chapter 251: The Wanted Scorpion</h4>

    ¡°Huh? A bounty on them? Shouldn¡¯t we just send them a warning rather than give out such arge sum of money...¡±

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s business-minded nature kicked in, it was apparent that he thought that the bounty was not worth it.

    It was way too distressing to take out such arge sum of money.

    With just a nce, Qin Feng figured out what Xue Xingfu had in mind!

    ¡°We should keep the goods to ourselves. Once I return to Fengli, we¡¯ll gather everyone from the colony to kill the Scorpion Corps together. It¡¯s about time to train our troops, or else we¡¯ll be left with softballs to defend the city!¡±

    Before Qin Feng was reborn, he was also the leader of a big mercenary group.

    Initially, he helped people to transport goods and to protect the goods from ultra beasts and being looted by members from the Dark Coalition.

    Later on, after he had gotten stronger, he enrolled in the frontlines of beast resistance. On the battlefield, Qin Feng had the ability to absorb supernatural powers of beasts and he was very brave.

    However, there were times when the strength of a single person was limited. Qin Feng also needed a team.

    As such, after Fengli colony had been established, it was natural that Qin Feng did not want his men to be weaklings.

    With stronger troops, Qin Feng¡¯s progress would speed up even more, and these men, at the very least, had to serve him by helping him to clean up the battlefield.

    Xue Xingfu apuded after Qin Feng had finished talking.

    ¡°Boss, I¡¯m deeply convinced by your words, but would the Bounty Hunter Network agree to this?¡± Xue Xingfu asked.

    ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t they agree? Besides, even after the bounty has been issued, do you think there really would be people that would go after the Scorpion Corps?¡± Qin Feng replied.

    Xue Xingfu shook his head in response.

    Of course, there would not be any. Every E-tier aptitude user treasured their own lives very much and would not do it if there was no guarantee for their own sess in battle, while D-tier aptitude users did not care about the one billion yuan bounty reward.

    ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to worry about anything else. Round up the numbers of the members of the Scorpion Corps, and beware of those who fish in troubled waters. You should also find out their location and wait for me to return!¡±

    ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll wait for your return.¡± Xue Xingfu replied

    Qin Feng hung up the call and contacted Zhang Haoyang of the Bounty Hunter Network to tell him about his ns in hopes that the other party would provide him with some information.

    ¡°Yes, Mayor Qin, this is just a small matter. I¡¯ll contact Director Xue to take charge of the matter!¡±

    ¡°Thanks a lot!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee!¡±

    Zhang Haoyang did not dare to help out Qin Feng with his trouble since Qin Feng now had be a popr figure within the Bounty Hunter Network.

    After hanging up the call, Qin Feng did a little stretch. After three days of nonstop battle, a good sleep had eased his fatigue.

    On his way back, Qin Feng checked the messages from Yang Sanhu while he cleared out some of his resources. The messages were only about encounters with beast generals, and none about beast kings. If they had truly encountered a beast king, the Wilderness Rangers might not even be able to return from their journey, let alone go out for an investigation.

    But after killing numerous beast generals and ultra beasts, the amount of energy that Qin Feng had devoured had increased exponentially, and his body flesh had advanced to E4-tier.

    After his three-day journey, Qin Feng could finally see the walls of Fengli colony from afar!

    The sweet warmth of returning home started to fill up his heart.

    Before his rebirth, Qin Feng had his own residency after setting up his own team, but he did not live there that often. The ce was just a foothold for him, or sometimes a familiar orfortable hotel waiting for his return.

    Although he had not actually spent much time living in Fengli colony, things felt different.

    It was different because he saw the flickering silhouette of a familiar person from a distance, which instantly filled his heart with joy.

    Qin Feng stopped the hover car and opened the door, and the silhouette quickly rushed to his side and jumped into his arms.

    It was Bai Li.

    The two had a linked bond. In such close distance, Bai Li sensed Qin Feng¡¯s presence and came out to greet him.

    Bai Li touched Qin Feng¡¯s body with her two bony hands, and she leaned in with her small wless face to sniff Qin Feng¡¯s body scent.

    If Bai Li were in her fox form now, Qin Feng imagined that she would be wagging her tail.

    There was nothing implicit at all. Bai Li¡¯s behaviour was a sign that she missed Qin Feng dearly.

    ¡°Mm, so you didn¡¯t go out to flirt around!¡± Bai Li let go of Qin Feng after she was sure about it.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face stiffened.

    ¡°You came all the way over here just to make sure I didn¡¯t flirt around?¡±

    Bai Li nodded. ¡°You¡¯re mine, so that means you can¡¯t go around flirting and being a slut!¡±

    Qin Fengughed so hard that he was on the verge of tears. ¡®Slut¡¯ was not usually used to describe a man.

    ¡°Alright, alright, get in the car. But this time, I didn¡¯t bring you back any gifts!¡±

    ¡°Well, do you think that I¡¯m an easily-deceived child? I¡¯m a grown up now, why would I want gifts?¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. Back when Bai Li was still a young beast, she would always make a scene every time Qin Feng left her. Qin Feng was even afraid that one day he would be cklisted by her for an eternity.

    But at that time, maybe Bai Li was feeling insecure without Qin Feng around her.

    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯ll give you a kiss, but don¡¯t get too cocky!¡± Bai Li leaned over and nted a kiss on Qin Feng¡¯s cheek before getting on the passenger side.

    Qin Feng instantly felt a hot sensation in his heart, which was incredible.

    Perhaps, it was because of Bai Li which made Fengli colony feel more like a home!

    When Qin Feng returned to Chengbei colony, he did not inform anyone about the news, instead it was Xue Xingfu who spread the word that Qin Feng had gone to Pingyun again to exterminate the Wraith Devil.

    At night, three hover buses quietly drove out of Fengli colony.

    Qin Feng nced through the list of personnel for Fengli¡¯s very first operation that was disyed on hismunicator.

    Two E-tier aptitude users were deployed, which were Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Then, there were five F-tier aptitude users, namely Liu Xue, Wang Chen, He Ling, Zhou Hao, and Liu Heng.

    The remaining one hundred people were G-tier aptitude users.

    Unknowingly, there were now more and more aptitude users in Fengli colony, and the troops had gradually grownrger.

    At this time, Qin Feng was sitting on the second floor of the first bus. The interior was fully equipped with monitoring equipment, and there were a few technicians making some adjustments here and there. Qin Feng, Bai Li, and five other F-tier aptitude users were on the same bus.

    ¡°The Scorpion Corps is a Dark Organization. Since they don¡¯t have a fixed gathering spot, they don¡¯t take in the old, weak, sick or the disabled. They¡¯re said to be an all-powerful group with three hundred aptitude users, which is three times more than the number of people we¡¯ve got, that means our low-tier aptitude users might be at a disadvantage!¡± He Ling pointed out the information shown.

    ¡°There are also twelve F-tier aptitude users, all of whom are vicious rogue criminals!¡±

    These twelve criminals were the ones that Qin Feng had each issued a bounty on in the Bounty Hunter Network. Three days had since passed, and these people were starting to get afraid and their trails had disappeared. It was likely that they had returned to the Scorpion Corps.

    Of course, they probably had more G-tier aptitude users within the Scorpion Corps, but they did not receive the information.

    ¡°We¡¯ll be the first to sneak in and cover fire, don¡¯t worry about the G-tier aptitude users. If any of my men can¡¯t even handle such low-tier troops, I think it¡¯s better to exile them rather than keep them!¡± Qin Feng said indifferently, ¡°I don¡¯t engage in oppressive tactics, and neither do I exploit benefits from the civilians. What I¡¯m looking for in our G-tier soldiers is not intimidation, rather, their capabilities in fighting, understand?¡±

    ¡°Yes Sir, I understand. Don¡¯t worry, none of my men are weak soldiers!¡± Wang Chen replied.

    Wang Chen was now a patrol leader, and he would be a general in the future if he were to advance to E-tier. But, the first thing that came to mind regarding the intimidation aspect was Wang Chen¡¯s internal patrol group, which was why Wang Chen had toe out and take a stand.

 Chapter 252 - Siege of the Scorpion Corps

    <h4>Chapter 252: Siege of the Scorpion Corps</h4>

    ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll get ready in just a moment.¡±

    The three vehicles headed into the wilderness without drawing any attention to themselves.

    The journey was calm and quiet, and they felt that the beast repellent powder had worked. They did not even have the faintest idea that Qin Feng had also secretly enhanced their camouge with Dark Shroud.

    Fengli¡¯s troops were approaching their target in a stealthy mode.

    The first Fengli colony troop battle was about to begin!

    Now, in the wild, a U-shaped valley was seen in between the low mountain ranges.

    The valley was covered in lush forestry, and since it was winter, the withered trees did not have any branches or leaves. The human tracks were covered after two consecutive heavy snowfalls.

    After getting through the small path and going around the front, a small vige could be seen in the valley,

    It was not quite urate to call it a vige, perhaps it was more like a campsite. There were caravans with sr panels installed on the top which helped to keep them moving. Outside the campsite, there were some fences, as well as some temporaryrge tent houses, and toilets a distance away.

    Some of the big tents were bustling with liveliness and loud voices, and asionally the miserable screams of a woman could be heard.

    ¡°Those pricks over at Fengli colony are such jerks. They¡¯ve earned so much money and they should¡¯ve shared some of the wealth with us. Stingy b*stards!¡±

    ¡°Someday, once we¡¯ve gathered enough forces, we¡¯ll take over the colony and force them to pay for protection with their money. We will charge them 10 million, no, since they¡¯re so rich, we¡¯ll charge them a billion!¡±

    ¡°A billion? You¡¯re underestimating the wealth of Fengli colony! They make more than a few dozen billions every day now!¡±

    ¡°F*ck, that much every day? Wouldn¡¯t that be tens of billions a month? Son of a b*tch, and now they¡¯ve even ced a bounty on us! How about we go to their colony and kidnap some of their b*tches there. I¡¯m tired of seeing these bunch of old faces!¡±

    As the man was talking, he reached out to pinch the woman who was forced into his arms. His pinch was hard and the woman¡¯s cheeks instantly turned purplish-red, but she was unfazed by the pain. Her naked body was heavily bruised and battered, as if she had been turned into a broken doll!

    The man was bored too, but there was nothing he could do. His entire team could not go out as the manhunt issued by Fengli colony was too ruthless!

    From the bounty, there was a 100,000 credit bounty reward for just a G-tier aptitude user, and anyone registered in the Bounty Hunter Network system could hunt them down.

    Men would do anything in their means to be rich, and since G-tier aptitude users were easy to deal with, someone might have formed a team just to hunt them down!

    At this moment, they did not have the slightest clue that someone had actually touched down on their base camp during this snowy winter.

    These people were all still outside of the valley, which was three thousand meters away from their base camp inside the valley.

    Qin Feng and Wang Chen climbed up the slope.

    Then, Wang Chen quickly set up his guns.

    ¡°There¡¯re more than fifty lodged caravans, with an estimated number of four hundred people.¡±

    ¡°There are ten small tents and threerge tents, they carry out their activities inside these tents.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s one vi-style luxury caravan, I think that¡¯s where the members of the Scorpion Corps are at!¡±

    ¡°There are sixteen sub-standard caravans, with one person living in each, they probably belong to the F-tier aptitude users!¡±

    ¡°One of the tents may be holding captives!¡±

    Wang Chen quickly analyzed the situation.

    Qin Feng was on his side and was observing the situation as well. He nodded and said nothing at all.

    There was nothing wrong with Wang Chen¡¯s analysis.

    There were more people than expected, but Qin Feng was fine with it since it would just cost them more money.

    Right now, Fengli was not short of money.

    ¡°Get ready, cover fire! Watch out and avoid shooting at the tent with the captives!¡±

    Qin Feng gave the order and the aptitude users of Fengli colony quickly assembled their equipment.

    One by one, the cannon barrels were set up. There were roughly fifty of them.

    This was truly a show of wealth and power.

    ¡°Ready, fire!¡±

    Wang Chen gave the order and all fifty gunners pressed the switch.

    Whoosh whoosh...

    Bright cannonballs soared into the air once they were fired out.

    Although these cannonballs were not very powerful, they were definitely not weak. Any G-tier aptitude user would definitely be blown into pieces if they were not able to dodge the cannonballs in time.

    But any F-tier aptitude user could easily evade them.

    If they had any F-tier gunners, they might even be able to directly repel the cannonballs.

    At this time, outside the Scorpion Corps territory, a few of the Scorpion Corps watchguards were rubbing their fists as they grumbled.

    ¡°We¡¯re deep in the forest where there are no ultra beasts. If there¡¯s any, it¡¯ll probably be beasts that¡¯re looking to mate. We¡¯re so unlucky to be sent out for night watch!¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t say, but I¡¯ve got some wine here, let¡¯s drink!¡±

    ¡°Haha, not bad for a youngd like you. Ok, drink up!¡±

    They were not wary of the invasion in the slightest. After all, the location where they were stationed was so remote that not even the birds would fly over there.

    None of them would have thought that someone wouldunch a surprise attack on them.

    After downing a cup of wine, they heard a buzzing sound in their ears.

    ¡°Wow, is your wine really this strong? I¡¯m already getting a little dizzy, and I can even hear a buzz in my ear!¡±

    ¡°Huh? I don¡¯t think so, I secretly drank a cup earlier but I didn¡¯t feel anything!¡±

    ¡°You brat, I can¡¯t believe you didn¡¯t share some with me earlier!¡±

    Suddenly, the man felt that something was not right and he stared into the night sky.

    Even if there was a mental energy field around to prevent the loud sound from being heard, the sound could still be heard if the person was standing close to the sound source.

    Whoosh...

    The cannonballs fell from the sky, producing sparks as they grazed through the air.

    ¡°We¡¯re under attack!¡± The man let out a harsh, fearful roar.

    At this time, there were already some F-tier aptitude users who had spotted the cannonballs.

    A Dark Organization like the Scorpion Crops could not afford to train that many gunners, instead they had many ancient warriors, with ability users being in the dominant position.

    At that moment, the two F-tier gunners immediately countered the attack.

    ¡°Conscious force, repel!¡±

    In an instant, around half of the fifty cannonballs were reversed and they flew in the direction from which they were shot from.

    However, the remaining cannonballs were taken care of by another gunner. The gunner set up his cannon and took aim at one of the cannonballs.

    By hitting one of the cannonballs, the other cannonballs would also explode in mid-air!

    Whoosh!

    The cannonball flew into the sky.

    It struck the barrage of cannonballs and caused a chain of explosions. In just the blink of an eye, the sky was dyed red.

    Boom boom boom boom!

    The loud deafening sts broke the silence of the night, which woke up all the members of the Scorpion Corps. All of them rushed out frantically to find out what was happening.

    ¡°Quick, take cover and prepare to retreat!¡±

    One of the higher-ups of the Scorpion Corps roared in fury.

    At that moment, Scorpio, an E-tier aptitude user, came out of his caravan which the higher-ups reside in.

    Scorpio had a pair of triangr slit-eyes, which disyed his ruthless expression.

    He was around forty years old and had been an E-tier aptitude user for more than ten years, so he could be said to be an old fart among the dark forces.

    No one dared to make a move against Scorpio.

    Recently, he had been expanding his territory at a frantic pace, which earned him quite a lot of ie and his strength had improved as well.

    Now, he was already an E-tier ancient warrior.

    Boom!

    Without hesitation, Scorpio took a step forward and activated his motion arts technique. In the next moment, he was already dashing toward the valley.

 Chapter 253 - The Rich and Powerful

    <h4>Chapter 253: The Rich and Powerful</h4>

    At this time, Wang Chen and Qin Feng were hanging on the mountain walls on the outside of the valley, their gazes were fixated on the situation in the valley.

    ¡°They are making a move, and they have two F-tier aptitude users!¡± Wang Chen licked and felt the icy touch on his lips, his heart was filled with murderous anger.

    ¡°Boss, watch me!¡±

    Wang Chen quickly equipped himself with a hand cannon.

    As the reversed cannonballs flew in the air, Wang Chen raised his arm and fired off a cannon.

    The cannonball was able to shatter those low-grade cannonballs, but in the next moment, Wang Chen fired three more cannonballs in a row.

    The cannonballs whistled again. Not only that, the Scorpion Corps too had a cannon team and they began to fire back at them.

    However, Fengli colony was just too wealthy, and they had the upper hand.

    ¡°Fire again!¡± Qin Feng said ndly as fifty cannonballs were fired again. The cannonballs instantly nketed the entire Scorpion Corps camp.

    However, at this time, the two gunners were suppressed by Wang Chen, and there was no way they could stop these low-grade cannonballs in time. They could only count on the other members of the Scorpion Corps to counter the attack.

    In this head-on battle, the winning side was quite obvious.

    Boom!

    The Scorpion Corps¡¯s camp was instantly enveloped in mes.

    ¡°Have you given up on life? If not, scram!¡±

    A thunderous voice was heard from afar. The voice wasced with internal force, creating a suppressing aura.

    They could feel the aura rush over their bodies, suppressing their breathing and making them bend their bodies as they gasped for air.

    His voice arrived before he did.

    It was Scorpio.

    He was the old cunning warrior of the Dark Coalition within the Three Cities.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to show up so soon!¡±

    Qin Feng took a heavy step forward which made the frozen stone beneath his foot crack. His aura was unleashed and his internal force thickened, he tried to suppress the other party¡¯s aura with his.

    Two humanoid silhouettes were seen trudging through the snow, and soon they would run into each other.

    Scorpio sensed Qin Feng¡¯s aura, but he had no idea who the other party was. It was not until they were no more than thirty meters away when they both stopped walking and looked at each other from a distance.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Scorpio gritted his teeth as he said his name.

    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s me!¡± Qin Feng nodded casually.

    Scorpio felt his angered breath lodged in his chest.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you trying to eliminate every single one of us?¡± Scorpio gave Qin Feng a murderous re with his triangr eyes.

    He really did not expect Qin Feng to be so stubborn.

    However, Qin Feng appeared to be calmer than before.

    ¡°I¡¯ve issued a manhunt on you and I¡¯ve given you many days. If only you had returned the goods to me, I might¡¯ve called off the manhunt, too bad...¡±

    Scorpio¡¯s face turned ugly.

    Before this, Scorpio had never taken Qin Feng seriously, and they had no reason to return the stolen goods.

    Moreover, Scorpio even nned on living in Fengli colony in the future like a living parasite, sucking away the resources from the colony.

    He just did not expect Qin Feng to retaliate with this much aggression.

    ¡°Are you serious?¡± Scorpio scanned Qin Feng from the top to bottom, and he sensed that he was only of E4-tier!

    Seeing this, he finally made up his mind!

    But he dared not underestimate Qin Feng. After all, Qin Feng was the one who had killed Shademaster and the others.

    As such, it was better to not mess with him.

    Whoosh!

    Another barrage of cannonballs rocketed above his head, which caused Scorpio¡¯s mouth to twitch.

    ¡°Qin Feng, this time I¡¯ll admit that it is I, Scorpio, who is the one at fault. I¡¯ll return the goods, and you and I will never cross paths again in the future!¡± Scorpio said in a deep tone.

    Those returned items and goods could be looted again, but it was clear to him that his underlings stood no chance against the wealthy and powerful Qin Feng. Even Scorpio was starting to get a little anxious.

    There were some things which Scorpio would not do personally and would rely on his underlings. He belonged to the top of the pyramid, but if the bottom were to copse, his higher-up position would be gone as well!

    Unfortunately, Qin Feng was not buying into Scorpio¡¯s words.

    ¡°I¡¯ve given you the chance, but too bad you didn¡¯t appreciate it. What¡¯s the point of begging for mercy when you¡¯re about to die?¡± Qin Feng replied, his eyes were locked on Scorpio. For a moment, Scorpio felt that all of his deepest, darkest secrets had been exposed, and there was no way he could hide.

    He was frustrated from feeling so exposed.

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe that a hairless pup like you is able to defeat me!¡± Scorpio let out a roar as he drew out his weapon.

    It was a stick with a chain on the other end, and the chain ended with a palm-sized, sharp, tapered instrument that emitted green light.

    It was evident that his weapon was unique and was drenched with poison.

    Qin Feng also took out his Verdant Emperor Saber at the same time. He showed no intention of taking his enemy lightly.

    In a battlefield, one would have to die if the other were to live, and there was no room for carelessness.

    ¡°I¡¯m gonna kill you!¡± Scorpio bellowed as he dashed toward Qin Feng.

    The two were soon engaged in a tight battle.

    At the same time, Wang Chen was on the other side, suppressing the two gunners. Their attacks were relentless.

    With the resources provided by Qin Feng, Wang Chen¡¯s strength had improved by leaps and bounds. The equipment he had on were all of excellent quality, and the essories he wore helped him to condense his conscious energy, allowing him to exert his conscious energy to a greater effect.

    In just minutes, under Wang Chen¡¯s control of the situation, the F-tier gunners were not able to stop the cannonballs from the Fengli troop from striking their camp.

    There were just too many of them.

    Whoosh!

    The cannonballsnded on their campgrounds.

    Boom, boom, boom!

    They were all knocked off their feet, and some were even sted away.

    Although the Scorpion Corps¡¯s campsite was located somewhere hidden, in the end, they did not have any special shelters to protect them from the siege. The only thing they could do was flee.

    But wherever they tried to flee, the cannonballs were still able to track them. In just moments, Scorpion Corps had suffered heavy losses.

    Under the bombardment of the two troops, the camping ground waspletely obliterated. Soon, the Scorpion Corps did not have any ammunition left to fire back at the other troop.

    After all, they were not prepared for this sudden attack, and they did not have much of this kind of artillery power.

    During the battle, Wang Chen had taken care of one of the gunners, and the other gunner had stopped firing.

    On the other side, the battle between Qin Feng and Scorpio was simply one-sided.

    Scorpio¡¯s weapon was indeed unique, but it was useless when used against Qin Feng.

    On the other hand, Scorpio was getting even more frustrated, and he felt powerless. His weapon could barelynd a hit on Qin Feng¡¯sbat suit!

    How was he going to fight like this?

    nk!

    Both weapons shed together. Qin Feng¡¯s humongous Verdant Emperor Saber that was once light and agile, was now hefty and powerful. With each mighty swing, the weapon made a whooshing sound.

    Scorpio felt the tremendous force that overcame his body, knocking him into the air.

    Both of his hands went numb, and even his chest began to ache.

    Scorpio did not expect Qin Feng to be this strong.

    With a flicker in his eyes, Scorpio threw a smoke bomb after his body crashed onto a tree.

    Whoosh!

    Scorpio was running away!

    Qin Feng was surprised, but then he came to and chased after him.

    ¡°That old, cunning man!¡±

    Qin Feng had his conscious energy locked on Scorpio, and there was no way he could run away from him. He channelled some internal force into his legs which granted him the ability to run with supersonic speed.

    As he pursued after him, Qin Feng turned on hismunicator.

    ¡°Prepare to wipe out the remaining forces. Everyone get ready to move!¡±

    The Scorpion Corps was overwhelmed by the bombardment and the remaining men began to scatter, but Qin Feng had no intention of letting these people go.

    After the Fengli troops had received the order, they felt their blood starting to boil.

    The real battle had only just begun!

 Chapter 254 - The Victorâ€™s Compassion

    <h4>Chapter 254: The Victor¡¯s Compassion</h4>

    Outside the valley, the troop charged forth.

    ¡°Xiao Huang!¡±

    Zhou Hao pped his shoulder, and a palm-sized ant on his shoulder quickly climbed down. The ant transformed and was as huge as a big truck on the ground.

    Zhou Hao rolled over and triggered his conscious power. The golden ant fluttered its wings and took off from the ground, and Zhou Hao was going to ride on top of it.

    ¡°Zhou Hao, give me a lift!¡± Liu Heng took few strides to catch up with him, he did a flip andnded on top of the Golden Queen Ant¡¯s body.

    ¡°Hold on tight!¡±

    The two of them dashed forward.

    Liu Xue and He Ling weregging behind, but they used motion arts and were able to zip through the snow without leaving a single trace behind.

    Soon, they were inside the Scorpion Corps¡¯s camp, which was in ruins. The caravans were all blown up and only one tent remained in good condition. The mes illuminated their surroundings.

    ¡°Enemy attack, here ites!¡±

    Someone screeched in terror.

    ¡°Beast king!¡±

    ¡°How¡¯s that possible, do you mean a beastmaster¡¯s beast king?¡±

    Those people were scared out of their wits.

    Zhou Hao quickly locked his conscious energy onto an F-tier aptitude user without caring about the others.

    ¡°Li Hu? Ten million yuan is now mine!¡±

    The Golden Queen Ant charged toward Li Hu ferociously.

    Li Hu dared not fight against the Golden Queen Ant. He turned around and ran in fear, but he was nowhere faster than the Golden Queen Ant.

    Before he could run far, a terrifyingly long spear had pierced through his back.

    He was instantly picked off from the ground.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Zhou Hao held the four-meter long spear with both hands, and with a flick of his wrist, the spear was retracted.

    Zhou Hao grabbed Li Hu¡¯s heavily injured body, he lifted his arms and pulled him up by the neck.

    Snap!

    With one move, Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes were bloodshot red.

    This was his first time participating in a battle. Although he was still a teenager, he was not excited nor did he feel uneasy, instead, he felt his blood boiling.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    The mighty Golden Queen Ant charged toward the crowd in a rampage.

    The others then caught up with him and began to obstruct the F-tier aptitude users, while arge number of aptitude users from Fengli colony had also joined the battle. They surrounded the G-tier aptitude users and killed them.

    For a brief moment, the screams and cries of killing echoed in the remote valley.

    At this time, Qin Feng was still chasing after Scorpio.

    ¡®I didn¡¯t expect Scorpio to be this good in using motion arts, even with my internal force enhanced speed, I can¡¯t catch up to him!¡¯

    Qin Feng¡¯s brows were slightly furrowed, but he was still able to keep up with Scorpio. He did not have the slightest intention of giving up on the chase.

    If he were not able to catch up, Qin Feng would maintain his speed so he would not let Scorpio throw him off.

    ¡®Even with an improved Spectre Motion Steps, it would still be slower even though it¡¯s a motion arts movement. It seems like I would require a stronger motion arts technique!¡¯

    The motion arts technique he had previously given to Zhou Hao would not work in this situation because it required a matching internal strength technique. Since Qin Feng already had the Star Absorption skill, there was no reason for him to learn the technique.

    Even though Qin Feng was distracted about getting the internal strength he would be gettingter, his pace did not slow down at all.

    Whenpared to him, Scorpion was super exhausted!

    His motion arts was indeed very good, but any motion art technique that involved extreme speeds would consume a lot of the user¡¯s strength.

    Scorpio¡¯s internal strength was almost depleted!

    ¡°Damn it, I can¡¯t believe he¡¯s still after me!¡±

    Scorpio reached for his spatial rune equipment and pulled out a small porcin vial, he poured out the pills inside and stuffed them into his mouth.

    He felt his internal strength bubbling inside. Once he had recovered some strength, he continued with his escape.

    Qin Feng frowned again.

    ¡°Scorpio, you¡¯d better stop running. You¡¯re wasting the pills, maybe you should just leave it for me!¡± Qin Feng sneered at him.

    ¡°Eat my fart!¡± Scorpio was still running frantically, he dared not stop at all.

    But no matter how fast he could run, he still could not outrun him.

    ¡°Stop him!¡± Qin Feng shouted.

    While Scorpio was still figuring out who Qin Feng was talking to, a human figure suddenly appeared before him.

    It was an extremely beautiful youngdy, and as Qin Feng was bing more famous, Bai Li too was starting to gain more recognition.

    Word got around that Bai Li was Qin Feng¡¯s girlfriend, and she was like a treasured antique vase to him.

    However, many people said that Bai Li was actually quite powerful and awe-inspiring, but it was just that she did not fight much.

    Scorpio thought that she was just a lovely girl, but soon he realized that he was dead wrong.

    Swish!

    Five streaks of white light blinded him.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    Scorpio let out a scream, he did not even know what he was hit by, but he felt severe pain on one eye. A huge gash formed on his eye all the way to the chin, and five more bloody gashes were formed on his chest. The tremendous force sent Scorpio flying backward.

    Hended in front of Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng bent down andnded a punch on Scorpio¡¯s dantian.

    ¡°Star Absorption skill!¡±

    The powerful suction drained out all of Scorpio¡¯s internal energy!

    Scorpio¡¯s body twitched, he felt as if his internal energy was being siphoned away from his body.

    Scorpio had used up most of his internal energy earlier, but the Star Absorption skill was extracting the energy from his dantian. If the internal energy inside waspletely drained out, it would absorb the internal energy that was stored in the limbs.

    This was known as a reversal meridian, but Scorpio did not have the energy to stop this from happening.

    In the blink of an eye, the internal energy inside of Scorpio¡¯s body waspletely leached out.

    Then, Qin Feng raised the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand.

    ¡°No!¡±

    Scorpio tried to resist, but he had no strength at all. Before his death, his eyes were filled with remorse, and he looked as if he regretted provoking Qin Feng.

    Poof!

    The saber came down like a guillotine. Qin Feng had beheaded Scorpio.

    With just a flick of his hand, Qin Feng wrapped Scorpio¡¯s head with conscious energy and sent it into his spatial runic equipment.

    ¡°Burn!¡±

    A tiny ambernded on Scorpio¡¯s body. Just like that, the body of the Three Cities¡¯ Executioner who had terrorized and ughtered countless people was burnt into ashes.

    After the fire had died down, Qin Feng picked up some of the runic equipment that remained.

    Afterward, Qin Feng brought Bai Li with him and returned to the Scorpion Corps¡¯s camp side.

    The battle was now nearing its end.

    Although Scorpion Corps had more F-tier aptitude users than expected, with Zhou Hao¡¯s Golden Queen Ant, those F-tier aptitude users were nothing to worry about. Even if there were ten more of them, they would still not be a match for the Golden Queen Ant.

    About three hundred people died under the cannon siege. As soon as the troops from Fengli colony showed up, these people were like homeless dogs scattering around aimlessly. They had no fighting power at all and were all quickly ughtered.

    The ground was piled with ck charred corpses, and there were also bodies that had fresh wounds. The entire ce reeked of fresh blood and a terrible stench.

    The crowd turned toward Qin Feng as he was illuminated under the fiery glow.

    Some of them were actually new to this kind ofrge-scale siege that involved a Dark Organization, and some of them were even trembling.

    It could be out of excitement, or it could be out of fear.

    Qin Feng stopped walking and looked at the people who were following him from behind.

    He lifted his hand slightly and pointed at the bodies that were piled up next to him.

    A spot that reeked of blood, decay, and dread.

    ¡°See here?¡±

    The crowd was silent.

    ¡°This is a scene which can only be savored by victors.¡±

    ¡°If you be losers, your bodies will belong to this pile of corpses.¡±

    ¡°With that said, try and keep up with me, and you will see more of thister in the future. When the timees, you will get used to this scene!¡±

    ¡°A victor¡¯spassion is what losers admire the most!¡±

 Chapter 255 - Fiery Rampage

    <h4>Chapter 255: Fiery Rampage</h4>

    Fengli colony¡¯s ck market was flourishing, and at the end of January, the newly established Fengli colony once again received news that shocked everyone.

    Qin Feng, the mayor of Fengli colony, had ordered people to build a wanted board on the city wall outside of the colony.

    The board was not like a big screen, it was built of steel and concrete.

    There were seventeen heads hanging on the board.

    These dead people actually looked very different from when they were still alive.

    But the identities of these seventeen people were clear to everyone.

    They were the Scorpion Corps.

    Subsequently, the Bounty Hunter Network also showed that the manhunt for E-tier criminal, Scorpio, waspleted, and the aplisher was Qin Feng.

    Not only that, the manhunt for the other members of the Scorpion Corps that were disyed on the Bounty Hunter Network were also allpleted.

    At this point in time, almost everyone knew that Qin Feng hadpletely wiped out the entire Scorpion Corps!

    The Scorpion Corps was not an ordinary force, but a notorious Dark Coalition Organization that had to be reckoned with, yet Qin Feng issued a bounty on them andpleted it by himself in just a week¡¯s time.

    This caused some people to feel chills run down their spines, and they dared not underestimate Qin Feng ever again.

    Qin Feng might be young, and arrogant too at that.

    But Qin Feng¡¯s tactics were extremely cruel, straightforward, and merciless.

    Initially, some foolish Dark Organization members who tried to wait for the right time to strike Qin Feng had now carefully retracted their ws. Some of them were even afraid that Qin Feng would find out their ns and were in a panic.

    Qin Feng did not have the time to care about those people.

    As long as these people were honest and had no ns in striking Fengli colony, Qin Feng did care about them.

    Moreover, this training exercise also allowed Qin Feng to see Zhou Hao¡¯s true potential. Even now in Fengli, Zhou Hao was the strongest apart from Bai Li, Qin Feng and Lin Wuyi.

    However, his strength was still somewhatcking. If Zhou Ho were to sessfully advance to E-tier, Qin Feng would be able to hand the colony over to Zhou Hao without having to worry!

    ¡®In two months, the grave of the War God will probably open. Then, I¡¯ll bring Zhou Hao along on my journey!¡¯

    Qin Feng had the future n set.

    But two months was still quite a long time. Now, Qin Feng had no ns on stopping and idling around.

    He turned on hismunicator and checked the Wanzong tradingwork.

    But after swiping around, Qin Feng could not find anything that he needed.

    He wanted to find a good motion arts technique.

    Qin Feng was obviously not very satisfied.

    But soon, an ability caught Qin Feng¡¯s attention.

    ¡®Fiery Rampage?¡¯

    Qin Feng felt a jolt in his heart.

    Abilities were ever-changing, and what Qin Feng had mastered was far from enough!

    Due to Qin Feng¡¯s strength, the abilities he had mastered were rtively few, but every single one of them was incredibly powerful.

    ¡®You can use it as an F-tier? And it only costs a million?¡¯ Qin Feng bought it without a second thought.

    An hourter, the item arrived, and Qin Feng could not wait to open it.

    ¡°Ability Devourment!¡±

    After he had devoured the fire runes, the runes began changing and they then reassembled themselves to form a new ability.

    Qin Feng walked to the backyard and unleashed the ability. In the next moment, he felt as though his feet were strapped with fire cannons. His entire body leapt high and forward, and in the blink of an eye he had reached twenty meters with just a single leap.

    If it were not for Qin Feng¡¯s strong body, he would have made a fool of himself earlier!

    This ability was actually really good, and just now it only appeared to be weak because of a slight careless mistake. In fact, this ability allowed him to run even faster, and cover a greater distance, which could make up for Qin Feng¡¯s shorings.

    He clearly needed more training with this ability.

    At this moment, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator began to beep.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±

    On the other side of the call was Liu Heng.

    Now, he was mainly in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and most of the contacts from other colonies were handed over to Liu Heng, and he handled everything quite well. He would not have contacted Qin Feng if it were not for a serious matter.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, someone from Sea City is looking for you!¡± Liu Heng said. ¡°There¡¯s a letter from Sea City, it¡¯s an invitation for you to participate in the defense against the sea beast tide!¡±

    As they had entered January, it was the most dangerous month of sea tides.

    No one knew when it all started, but every January, Sea City would be besieged by swarms of sea beasts. These sea beasts would crawl ashore, hunt on humans,y eggs, and terrorize the city.

    Most of the sea beasts that were able toe ashore were amphibious, and there were also some that possessed strong toxins and would appear frequently, which affected the ntation and crops of Sea City.

    That was why hunting these sea beasts had be a tradition that had to be done every year in Sea City. Although Sea City was considered one of the most dangerous ces, it was also a ce full of opportunities and hardships.

    ¡°Okay, got it!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, which indicated that he understood the message.

    ¡°Then, Mr. Mayor, do you really n on going? I always have the feeling that the current executives of Sea City are not easy to get along with!¡±

    Sea City had gotten Shademaster and the gang to cause trouble in Fengli. People from Fengli colony did not know what had happened exactly but Qin Feng was able to make that guess.

    Liu Heng did not know either, but he had a feeling that Sea City was not friendly toward Fengli colony.

    Moreover, Qin Feng had returned from the city with a full cargo of items before. It was worrisome that the executives of Sea City, who were clearly mad at Qin Feng, would be very unhappy unless they acquire something from Qin Feng.

    ¡°Of course, why wouldn¡¯t I go? But name the price as Fengli is a part of me, and if they want me to go, you should charge them a million per day, and the loot will all belong to me!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    ¡°Also, name the same price for Bai Li, and tell them the sea beast tide wille around the middle of the month. I¡¯ll not receive post-payments, so tell them to pay three billion as the upfront fee and then we¡¯ll talk!¡±

    Even though Liu Heng knew how capable Qin Feng was, and the price he asked for was not excessive, he felt that the conditions given by Qin Feng were a bit too harsh!

    ¡°I don¡¯t think they would agree to that, would they?¡±

    ¡°You just tell them that it¡¯s their business to agree or disagree, not mine!¡± Qin Feng sneered. Deep down, he knew that these people would agree to it.

    Liu Heng had no choice but to ry the message back to them.

    The person who contacted Liu Heng was an F-tier aptitude user, but it was obvious that there was someone else behind him. As soon as Liu Heng ryed the message, the people on the opposite side of the call were instantly infuriated. It was clear that they thought Qin Feng was overbearing and self-righteous.

    The call ended rather quickly, but what Liu Heng did not expect was that in just half an hour¡¯s time, he received an agreement from Sea City. They had agreed to Qin Feng¡¯s requests and that the three billion yuan would soon be transferred over.

    They would also quickly send someone over to pick up Qin Feng.

    ¡°Boss, did you already figure out that they would eventually agree to it?¡± Liu Heng was a bit confused.

    ¡°Heh, you don¡¯t have to think too much about this. Once I reach Sea City, feel free to contact me if you need anything!¡±

    ¡°Understood, Boss!¡±

    Liu Heng did not get to the bottom of it.

    Qin Feng made preparations for his journey to Sea City, but in less than half a day, Xue Xingfu came over once he received the news.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, you¡¯re not leaving again, are you?¡±

    Xue Xingfu was wailing deep down.

 Chapter 256 - Month of Sea Beast Tide

    <h4>Chapter 256: Month of Sea Beast Tide</h4>

    Although Qin Feng would bring back bigger rewards each time he went out, Xue Xingfu was still anxious about the safety of Fengli in the constant absence of their primemander.

    The colony was facing a greater threat by the day as its business continued to expand.

    ¡°I have received an invitation to join in on the defense against the sea beast tide from Sea City,¡± Qin Feng answered.

    Xue Xingfu immediately pulled a long face and persuaded Qin Feng, ¡°A new mayor has just taken over Sea City. That ce is now conquered by one of the factions under Leitang Organization. You were the biggest winnerst time out and walked out without paying them anypensation. This went against their rules and they are surely still holding a grudge over that.¡±

    Xue Xingfu was able to see the grander picture, an insight that Liu Hengcked.

    ¡°I know what you are trying to say. But do you expect me to crouch like a turtle just because some hooligans have a grudge against me?¡±

    ¡°Mayor, you are walking straight into a trap!¡±

    ¡°With great riskes great reward!¡±

    ¡°But why insist on this particr risk? You have just returned from yet another fierce battle, why don¡¯t you rest for a bit?¡±

    Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°When have you ever seen me step on the brakes? If I have loosened up even once, do you think I would have achieved all these?¡±

    Xue Xingfu recalled their past encounters after Qin Feng had said so. He first met him about half a year ago. He was only a rather mature teenager in Xue Xingfu¡¯s eyes then.

    The second time they crossed paths, Qin Feng had journeyed to the wilderness and brought back the materials of a beast general.

    Fast forward to today, Qin Feng had already transformed into a mayor. He did not stop there and further poprized his colony, turning it into a famous business hub that attracted numerous opportunities. Fengli had enormous potential in the years toe.

    There was a reason behind Qin Feng¡¯s sess.

    ¡°You win,¡± Xue Xingfu did not have anything left to say. His brows still furrowed deep.

    ¡°You have to elevate your personal strength as well instead of relying on your superior. Once you are an E-tier, then you could be the deterrent force of Fengli. What¡¯s good about earning so much if you don¡¯t have the ability to protect your wealth in this tumultuous era?¡±

    Qin Feng remembered that Xue Xingfu was officially a high-tier aptitude user in his past life. Nheless, he was better known for his business mind and seldom involved himself in battle. That led to spections that he was merely a paper tiger.

    Qin Feng bore the same opinion. After having known Xue Xingfu for some time, Qin Feng could tell this underling was not especially disciplined in training.

    ¡°Money is my life! It¡¯s hard to admit it but I guess you are right. There¡¯s no way I can hold onto my current position shamelessly when those young ones in the colony are catching up to me so quickly,¡± Xue Xingfu was rather embarrassed as he said.

    Qin Feng corrected him, ¡°That¡¯s not your expertise, so I am not expecting a spectacr improvement. But that doesn¡¯t mean you shouldpletely neglect training!¡±

    ¡°Noted.¡± Xue Xingfu nodded obediently. It was extremely convincing when these words wereing out from Qin Feng¡¯s mouth.

    The next day, a hover train had arrived to fetch those from Chengyang to Sea City.

    Unlike the situation in Han Town, the urrence in Sea City did not need any publicity. Every year, people from all around the world would rush to Sea City, searching for opportunities during this time.

    The tsunami would bash the coastal region of Sea City around the same time annually. All sorts of things might be washed up the shores by the waves, including silver pearls or even golden pearls. Those loots would be more than enough to support a G-tier aptitude user in reaching F-tier.

    However, the mood was slightly different this year. The spatial waymarks sold by Wanzong had resulted in a huge loss among the upper-sses of the Three Cities. Quite a number of colonies were also holding Sea City in contempt, and they had refused to take part in this year¡¯s sea beast tide.

    Though the number of participants was still enormous, theck of high-tier aptitude users meant that things might go out of control if a powerful beast were to suddenly emerge along with the tsunami.

    That was why the organizer was willing to give in to Qin Feng¡¯s exorbitant request.

    As predicted by Xue Xingfu, they were indeed plotting something sinister back in Sea City.

    ¡°Those from the Dark Coalition have failed to bring down Qin Feng thest time. This time, we must exterminate him once and for all!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Deputy Mayor. Don¡¯t worry, our n won¡¯t fail this time. We can guarantee that Qin Feng would not leave Sea City alive if he dares to set foot in our turf!¡±

    The man on the main seat nodded satisfyingly. A sense of rage shed past his eyes.

    His name was Wang Zhichao, he was about thirty-five years old. He was E8-tier now and had the potential to attain D-tier in the future. He naturally became the deputy mayor after being Lei Chen¡¯s right-hand man for some years.

    Wang Zhichao was the one that had employed Shademaster to make a scene at Fengli back then. He did not think that they would be so ipetent. Not only had they failed to assassinate Qin Feng but the loots had also been gained by Fengli. Indirectly, those goods helped to boost the ck market¡¯s reputation further.

    Initially, Wang Zhichao nned to im back those treasures by killing the mercenaries once they had seeded in the mission. Now, it seemed impossible to even locate where the stuff had been sold to.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I hope you bring something precious with you this time. Or else, your death alone would not be enough topensate for my loss!¡± His ultimate aim was to get some shares in Fengli once Qin Feng was done for.

    However, was Qin Feng really that easy to be killed?

    ***

    Qin Feng met with Tan Yue again on the hover train. It was not umon to see him here since this was his job.

    However, their previous rapport hadpletely disappeared this time around.

    Qin Feng had be stronger and more popr, while Tan Yue was still only a train conductor.

    That was not all. What happened in Pingyun had also alienated them further. Though Qin Feng had rescued them, Tan Yue and the others feared that Qin Feng might be possessed by the Wraith Devil and decided to cut ties with him.

    From Tan Yue¡¯s perspective, he was angry that Qin Feng did not exin himself then.

    To Qin Feng, he did not feel that it was necessary to rify anything to an F-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°Alright. Your work is done here. Just go on ahead with your other duties,¡± Qin Feng said and dismissed his service.

    Tan Yue subdued his urge to say something and merely nodded. He proceeded to leave Qin Feng¡¯s luxurious coach politely.

    Bai Li watched their awkward exchange and did not understand what had happened.

    ¡°You guys quarreled?¡± Bai Li asked.

    Qin Feng exined the previous incident to her. Then, he murmured, ¡°This is on me for not thinking it through. At first, it¡¯s not that big of a deal that I am a dark ability user. But it¡¯s better to keep this a secret after what has happened. Otherwise, Zhongcheng might distrust me while those in the dark might also use this against me.¡±

    That was why Qin Feng had decided to distance himself from Tan Yue as well. He could not afford to let more information slip.

    Qin Feng initially nned to poach people with caliber like Tan Yue from Zhongcheng to work for him. Unfortunately, he had to give up on that thought now.

    Anyhow, that was not Qin Feng¡¯s but Tan Yue¡¯s loss.

 Chapter 257 - Second Arrival at Sea City

    <h4>Chapter 257: Second Arrival at Sea City</h4>

    The train brought the group to Sea City. Qin Feng opted to check in at the same hotel as he didst time.

    Despite the intense battle that took ce not long ago, the hotel had long been restored, and the city was as vibrant as always.

    The ordinary civilians were not really concerned about the power struggle among the top guns. To them, as long as the leader was dominant enough to protect them from being invaded by ultra beasts, it did not actually matter who was in power.

    Of course, it would be better if the new mayor was not a tyrant that ruled with autocracy and taxed the people excessively. No one would risk their lives revolting if the authority did not oppress its people.

    Hence, Sea City remainedrgely the same. Qin Feng and Bai Li rested well on the first day in this bustling city.

    The mission of Sea City was announced the next day.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, pleased to meet you. I am the leader of the Sea City¡¯s garrison troop A. My name is Yang Ping, and I wee you on behalf of our city.¡±

    Qin Feng measured the man in front of him. He was an E3-tier.

    ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± They shook hands and their eyes met. Both of them could feel the skepticism and reservation in each other¡¯s minds.

    ¡°We are in a state of emergency now. The sea beast tide has already started and will probably hit the shore by noon. Instead of wasting your time taking on lesser opponents along the coastal zone, yourmand is more desperately needed at the frontline. I am here to escort you to the shelter ind,¡± Yang Ping said convincingly with a firm tone. He had probably rehearsed the speech several times.

    Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°Shelter ind?¡±

    Yang Ping avoided Qin Feng¡¯s gaze and exined, ¡°That¡¯s right. The ind is well-equipped too. That¡¯s the only ce your true strength would flourish.¡±

    Qin Feng sneered.

    Of course, he knew about the truth of this shelter ind.

    Beyond Sea Cityy a seemingly boundless ocean.

    At the center of the vast sea, numerous rifts would open up about the same time each year in the middle of the storm and tsunami, delivering powerful beasts through the crack to the earth.

    This was no secret to Qin Feng, who had reached A-tier in his past life.

    The beasts came from diverse dimensions and thus behaved differently. But one thing was for sure, which was that the strong would always prey on the weak. Thus, weaker beings would constantly migrate to seek for survival. Only the strong ones would get to retain their habitats.

    Thepetition among the beasts upon the arrival of new species was the reason behind the sea beast tide, whereby the losers would be extruded closer and closer to thend.

    In other words, beasts that appeared on the shore would be the weakest, such as G-tiers and F-tiers.

    On the other hand, E-tier creatures were often seen near the shelter ind. As its name suggested, the ind served as a natural fortress to bar the E-tier beasts from entering the coastal region.

    People from Sea City would only dare to visit the ind after the sea beast tide since the E-tier sea beasts would have returned to the ocean by then. Materials left behind by the beasts on that ind had benefited ample Sea City residents over the years.

    Thus, Qin Feng was amused when Yang Ping said that they were going to battle on the shelter ind. But he did not show it and instead nodded. ¡°Sure. Let¡¯s go then.¡±

    Yang Ping could not believe that Qin Feng was so easily tricked. He concealed his delight and led the way into a luxuriousmand vehicle. The car left Sea City and headed to the wilderness.

    They reached the actual seaside after half an hour. Sandy beach stretched infinitely on both sides, and the raging sea at the far sidepleted the stunning view.

    ¡°Wow!¡±

    Bai Li was apparently fond of the magnificent ocean. The artificial seaside built inside Sea City was only aughable pool aspared to this wonder.

    In the midst of the waves, beasts were clearly seen. At such a distance, they coulde ashore at any time.

    Themand vehicle hovered in mid-air once it entered the sea. The base of the car transformed and turned into a speed boat.

    The calmness on Qin Feng¡¯s face had never changed along the way as if he already knew what to expect.

    Bai Li, on the other hand, was full of questions.

    ¡°Where¡¯s the shelter ind?¡± She asked.

    Yang Ping grinned and exined, ¡°We will reach soon. Please bear for a while longer.¡± He sized up Bai Li carefully. From what he had heard, this girl never left Qin Feng¡¯s side. There were also rumors iming that she was a powerful aptitude user.

    No matter how he looked at them, these two appeared to be teenagers to him. How strong could they be?

    Nheless, he dared not loosen up. Yang Ping knew that he should not underestimate Qin Feng just because he was young. The guy would not gain such a prestigious reputation if he did not have something up his sleeves.

    Yang Ping was relieved that both Qin Feng and Bai Li did not seem to be suspicious.

    The speed boat traveled for another two hours and the shelter ind was finally in sight.

    The ind has arger area than Sea City. It was shaped like a giant crescent and spanned around the city, shielding it from the ocean.

    There was only a single building on the ind¡ªthe ckstone Fort.

    The fort was built on high ground, about fifty meters above sea level. The wall of the fort was thirty-meter-high, making the building an imposing structure when viewed from afar.

    ¡°That¡¯s ckstone Fort, which also functions as a watchtower. Word would be sent to Sea City immediately from here when the first tide of sea beastsnds on this ind,¡± Yang Ping exined.

    Qin Feng grinned and asked absent-mindedly, ¡°Are the E-tier beasts going to linger on this ind?¡±

    Yang Ping answered hastily, ¡°E-tier sea beasts usually do not like to stay on shallow waters due to theirrge body size. That¡¯s why this ind could bar them from advancing further into the coastal region. Besides, after aggressive remation over the years, thend on this ind has been greatly expanded. So it¡¯s not very often to have an E-tier beast on the ind.

    His exnation seemed to be on point but Qin Feng knew that he did not actually answer his question. To Qin Feng¡¯s knowledge, beasts carried by the tsunami were not necessarily those that resided in the sea. There would also be beasts walking straight out from the rift.

    Thus, not all monsters preferred to stay in the seawater as Yang Ping had imed.

    Qin Feng chose not to expose him and walked up to the fort.

    A battalion was stationed inside the fort. However, everyone appeared to be extremely restless. They had lived in Sea City for decades and thus understood that it was toote to retreat now. Their chances of survival were close to nil once the sea beast tide were to hit the ind.

    They cursed their own fate. This bunch was the former subordinates of the previous government. Being sent here meant that someone had finally decided to cut them loose.

    Before Qin Feng could take a breather from the long journey, a panic shriek from the soldiers was hearding from the fort.

    ¡°Enemy assault! Enemy assault!¡±

    ¡°E tier! It¡¯s Islet Tortoises.¡±

    ¡°Gosh! They are huge!¡±

    ¡°Can we chase them back?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s impossible with the weapon in hand!¡±

    The battalion waspletely flustered. Being the first-line defense of Sea City, these guards certainlyckedposure.

    Yang Ping was shaken when he heard the news too.

    Everyone knew that even if an aptitude user was assigned as E-tier, not many could actually face an ultra beast from the same tier alone.

    Especially a beast with a giant figure.

    He, too, was in a panic due to the sudden emergence of the enemy. After all, he and Qin Feng were the only two E-tiers on the ind now.

    Despite that, he maintained hisposure and bellowed, ¡°Stop this shameful uproar at once. Can¡¯t you see that I and Mayor Qin are still around?!¡±

    The members of the battalion instantly shut their mouth but could not help the quiver. They were half-terrified, half-angered.

    Yang Ping turned to Qin Feng with a smile and offered, ¡°Why don¡¯t we go and take a look, Mayor Qin?¡±

    ¡°Lead the way!¡± Qin Feng stood up and paced forward confidently.

 Chapter 258 - Shelter Island

    <h4>Chapter 258: Shelter Ind</h4>

    The ckstone Fort was indeed built on a strategic location. They needed little effort to locate the group of giant beasts emerging on the horizon.

    These twenty-feet-long beasts floated on the sea like an islet, thus they were known by the name ¡°Islet Tortoise¡± (E8-tier).

    A total of eight of them were approaching the ind fast.

    They were not the only iing threat. With a closer look, numerous beasts rode the rolling waves at about a hundred meters in front of the tortoises.

    These beasts appeared to be chased by the Islet Tortoise and were struggling to swim forward.

    This marked the first wave of the sea beast tsunami.

    The soldiers were now paler than before.

    Even the facial muscle of Yang Ping twitched slightly watching the imminent danger.

    ¡°Please don¡¯te here! Please don¡¯te here!¡± A soldier by Qin Feng¡¯s side gripped the gun in his hand tightly and muttered.

    Unfortunately, God did not answer his prayer as the beasts swam straight toward the ind.

    Soon, the first wave hit the shore.

    Though the fort was built on hignd, there was no guarantee that the beasts would not reach them there. The best solution was to chase them back into the sea.

    After all, the first to reach the ind was just G-tier beasts.

    Boom!

    Someone had shot first, and others soon followed. They wanted to pin the beasts back.

    However, the number of beasts was overwhelming. Even the Islet Tortoise hade ashore now.

    These beasts were simply too huge. The tortoise charged on like a tank and did not fear the bombardment from the human battalion.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, that¡¯s our cue to attack,¡± Yang Ping suggested.

    ¡°I agree. I can¡¯t wait to see your heroism.¡±

    ¡°Haha. I am no way near you.¡± They ttered each other while the soldiers eyed them anxiously.

    Qin Feng had had enough of the meaningless conversation and jumped down from the fort promptly.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Qin Feng was wrapped in fire and he dashed forward like a rocket. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed out to more than a hundred meters away.

    In contrast, Yang Ping stayed put and took out a decent bazooka. He was a gunner and that was why he had asked Qin Feng to strike first. He would not need to worry about his own safety by staying at the backline.

    Qin Feng, however, might face great danger.

    As expected, as soon as Qin Feng came close to the shore, the sea beasts immediately sensed the alien two-legged creature and exposed their fangs.

    ¡°Awoo!!¡±

    The beasts roared and jumped simultaneously on Qin Feng. They were exhausted after being chased all the way up to the ind. The arrival of the human saved them the trouble to look for food.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and unleashed a sea of fire.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    The fire swept the sandy beach. The extreme heat caused the sea beasts to growl in pain.

    G-tier and F-tier beasts were burnt down instantly.

    The Islet Tortoises had discovered Qin Feng as well.

    Poof!

    Arge water cannon was shot right at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng evaded the attack swiftly. He raised his hand again to release a fireser.

    The Islet Tortoise moved its horns and changed the position of its giant body. Qin Feng¡¯s firesernded right on the shell. It created tiny sparkles and left a burnt mark there.

    Yang Ping had also released a missile. The missile hit the back of the Islet Tortoise and exploded. But it did little harm to the beast.

    The defensive strength of the Islet Tortoise wasparable to the energy force field of a city.

    However, its giant head was the beast¡¯s biggest weakness. The beast could be killed easily as long as the attack hit the bullseye. That was easier said than done because the Islet Tortoise was equally agile.

    Feeling the hostility from Qin Feng, one of the giant tortoises charged straight for Qin Feng.

    Its speed was considered unusually fast for a tortoise.

    Such a giant beast did not need any skills. They could simply destroy their target through brute force alone.

    Qin Feng remainedposed.

    ¡®Just about time to test my new technique.¡¯

    Qin Feng triggered his consciousness.

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    The extreme heat of the magma instantly melted the earth¡¯s crust. The ground below the flowing magma crumbled instantaneously.

    The giant Islet Tortoise fell into the magma pit as well. Unlike the chilling seawater, scorching magma sipped into the internal part of the shell.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The tortoise screeched. It had never experienced such an extreme temperature. The Islet Tortoise was disintegrated within seconds.

    Qin Feng wasted no time.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand slid out in a parabolic curve.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    An elongated sword radiance promptly cut off the screeching tortoise¡¯s head.

    Plop!

    The giant head flew off and dropped on the magma and was burned clean the next instant.

    Qin Feng switched to another target once he had taken care of the first.

    The Islet Tortoise¡¯s giant body hindered them from fighting as a coordinated group.

    Qin Feng repeated the same trick and quickly exterminated the rest of the Islet Tortoises.

    The sandy beach had almost melted into and of magma. On top of this stood the mighty sovereign¡ªQin Feng.

    Soldiers on the fort were dumbfounded. Yang Ping, too, inhaled deeply.

    Qin Feng was too powerful! He managed to kill beasts as strong as the Islet Tortoise with such ease. Yang Ping figured that there was apse in his n.

    ¡®I was a little doubtful when they said that he could single-handedly handle the Drakocroc King. Apparently, that¡¯s true. At this rate, it would be unrealistic to try killing him this way.¡¯

    Yang Ping¡¯s mind began to process this information rapidly. They needed a n B now.

    Qin Feng never left the beach.

    ¡®The energy stored in the Islet Tortoises is rather rich!¡¯

    Though it was only a normal beast, Qin Feng managed to absorb arge pool of energy after killing the tortoises. His physical strength did not enhance by much but he could feel the blood racing faster in the vessel. Despite that, his heart pumped slower but more vigorously. Each pump provided more energy to the whole body.

    Tortoises were indeed the key to longevity.

    A lot of people were willing to pay a handsome price for meat from a tortoise beast. It was rumored that the meat could increase one¡¯s life span. The energy core of the tortoise beast fetched an even higher price.

    Qin Feng started to get hopeful.

    However, it was unrealistic for an Islet Tortoise beast general or king to appear here. Islet Tortoises of those levels were too massive.

    The shallow water of the shelter ind could indeed deter a lot of powerful beasts.

    After the Islet Tortoises hadnded, more beasts emerged from the sea current. Qin Feng wiped everything clean regardless of whether they were strong or weak.

    Yang Ping was getting even sulkier as he witnessed Qin Feng¡¯s overpowering strength.

    Suddenly, notifications rang through Yang Ping¡¯smunicator. He nced at it and his facial expression changed abruptly. He then hurriedly concealed his unease.

    Yang Ping turned his head sideways and nced at Bai Li. He noticed that Bai Li seemed bored and paid little attention to Qin Feng¡¯s battle. He quickly excused himself, ¡°Miss Bai, I still have things to attend to so I am leaving now. It seems Mayor Qin can handle the sea beast tide just fine by himself. Please send my regards to himter. I will take my leave now.¡±

    Bai Li nced quietly at Yang Ping, as if her dark eyes had seen right through his conspiracy.

 Chapter 259 - The Great Tsunami

    <h4>Chapter 259: The Great Tsunami</h4>

    Yang Ping felt a chill run down his spine.

    But Bai Li only nced at him for a while and retracted her gaze uninterestedly.

    ¡°Go then.¡±

    Bai Li could not care less. Because she had seen through him the moment they met.

    Her natural instinct told her that Yang Ping had been channeling nothing but animosity toward them from the start. Other than Yang Ping¡¯s speed boat, there was not a single boat parked at the dock where they arrived.

    This meant that others would not have any means of leaving the ind once Yang Ping left.

    That, however, did not apply to Bai Li. She could even detect Fengli¡¯s spatial waymark from another dimension, let alone being in the same dimension. At this distance, she would have no trouble activating the waymark three times in a day. That was why she had let Yang Ping loose.

    Yang Ping was reassured after Bai Li said so. He reckoned that he must be over-sensitive earlier.

    To him, Bai Li was just a young girl. There was no way she could have the insight to see through his ns.

    He left hurriedly. After he was gone, the soldiers around immediately burst into amotion. One of them shouted at Bai Li, ¡°Missus, how could you let him go this easily? He might be lying to you!¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Bai Li looked at the soldier puzzlingly.

    Seeing Bai Li¡¯s baffled expression, the soldier thought that she knew nothing and advised her, ¡°Shelter ind is used to barricade E-tier beasts. Soldiers are never needed here in the first ce. He has abandoned us here in this no man¡¯snd to kill us off!¡±

    Bai Li smiled lightly. She seemed more mature now, and her action resembled that of Qin Feng¡¯s.

    ¡°You lot might be the loose end. That doesn¡¯t include me, and my boyfriend over there.¡± Bai Li pointed toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Missus, don¡¯t underestimate the dangers of this ce. This is only the beginning. Nobody would survive the real beast tide!¡±

    Bai Li waved them away and said, ¡°Leave at once if you are scared. Run as far as you can. Since the guy named Yang Ping has decided to abandon you all, he wouldn¡¯t care whether you live or die. By the way, if you guys manage to survive,e join us at Fengli. We need manpower there.¡± She used the opportunity to promote their colony.

    The soldiers became hopeful hearing what Bai Li had said.

    ¡°Missus, you mean we are allowed to leave?¡± The soldier who voiced out earlier was certainly moved.

    ¡°Yes! You are scared, no? We don¡¯t need you here anyway.¡±

    The soldier gritted his teeth and saluted Bai Li. ¡°Thank you, missus. We will certainly submit to Fengli colony if we ever get out of this alive.¡±

    After all, they would bebeled as deserters if they did escape from this. If no colony was willing to take them in, they would be forced to live in the wilderness. More so, they might end up joining the Dark Coalition.

    The members of the battalion had made preparations as soon as they set foot on the ind. They found everything they could use and built several small boats from the avable materials. Of course, the crude boats were nothing like Yang Ping¡¯s remodeled hover speed boat. They might also bump into dangerous sea beasts on their way back to the maind.

    However, steered by their internal force and conscious energy, they could still make it back to Sea City within three hours if they were lucky enough.

    In the meantime, Yang Ping was staring at the highest lighthouse of the shelter ind from afar. A sense of cruelty appeared in his eyes.

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t me me for this. You shouldn¡¯t have yed with fire in the first ce. I am just following orders,¡± As he mumbled, he took out a switch and pressed the button.

    Boom!

    He could clearly see the lighthouse exploding into a mushroom cloud from ten kilometers away. Noticeably, clouds of white powder disseminated across the air following the explosion.

    ¡°Go!¡± Yang Ping ordered, and they left the ind quickly.

    At the same time, Qin Feng was startled by the abrupt explosion. He turned back to check out what had just happened.

    Bai Li was perplexed too. She did not understand why the lighthouse had suddenly exploded. Luckily she was not standing there, while all the soldiers had long retreated from the fort.

    The roof of the lighthouse was sted off, and bulks of powder came pouring out of it.

    The powder spread through the air rapidly and agitated the sea beasts that had justnded on the beach.

    ¡°Sea extract!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression could not be grimmer.

    He ignored those beasts near the shore and dashed speedily back to the fort using Fiery Rampage. After a few hops, hended back near Bai Li.

    Bai Li sneezed a few times. The scent from the powder made her extremely ufortable.

    ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Bai Liined.

    ¡°It¡¯s a type of scent used to attract sea beasts. It is said that this triggers their estrus. In the wilderness,rger beasts often find it more difficult to meet mating partners. To reproduce, the female will release the extract to lure the male toward them.¡±

    This hormone had been developed and made use by humans to lure away beasts that they were unable to cope with.

    Qin Feng did not expect to see such arge amount being stored on this ind.

    ¡°Are you alright? This thing seems to affect mutated beasts aside from sea beasts!¡± Qin Feng looked at Bai Li worriedly.

    Bai Li shook her head and said, ¡°I can hide my physical existence inside the void. Only my blood pressure has gone up slightly after inhaling some of it just now. I am fine otherwise¡±

    Bai Li was, after all, a beast king. She would not fumble this easily to some powder trick.

    Nheless, such a huge dose would be blown deep into the ocean zone carried by the strong wind. This would instantly turn ckstone Fort into a giant beast bait.

    Soon, the beasts would flood the shelter ind.

    This was when they heard an unidentified rumbling sound.

    Bai Li was curious and looked up. She saw a giant wave appear at the edge of the horizon.

    It was the tsunami!

    The giant wave was about five-storey high. It was like a giant maw ready to crush the sky and thend.

    Qin Feng was looking at it too. Though this was not his first time seeing a beast tide, he still felt that this might be the most impressive scenery he had ever witnessed.

    Both of them were rooted on the ground.

    The wave came crashing onto the ind.

    Instantaneously, the tsunami wave washed up ample beasts onto the beach.

    The entire shelter ind acted like a giant blockade. The wave raced past the beach and hit on the cliff, rocking the ckstone Fort built on top of it.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    ck reefs effectively intercepted the wave, but the whole ind was quaking due to the impact.

    Another tsunami wave promptly followed!

    This time, it was apanied by a giant storm. A rainstorm ravaged the shelter ind like meteorites.

    In front of this natural disaster, Qin Feng and Bai Li were insignificant.

    Qin Feng released his internal force and formed an invisible shield with it. He held Bai Li close while barricading the seawater that was showering madly upon them.

 Chapter 260 - Decaying Rain

    <h4>Chapter 260: Decaying Rain</h4>

    The shelter ind had been effective in reducing the impact from the massive tsunami to that of a lower height, however, it still continued to push further toward the direction of Sea City.

    Only the ckstone Fort was able to withstand the tsunami and stand firm while being surrounded by the sea that had submerged the shelter ind entirely.

    The sea level began to reduce, as if a second tsunami wave was on the way.

    Sea beasts that were swept forward by the wave exposed their gnarly appearances as the high tide receded.

    There were all sorts of sea beasts that had appeared, while some were even unrecognizable!

    However, the sea extract that was spread out earlier had caused them to be extremely agitated.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    Deafening roars echoed up into the skies.

    ***

    The Sea City, where the executives were located within a skyscraper building that showcased authority.

    Endless footage was being transmitted to a massive screen, and it was all rted to the tsunami that had just happened at the ckstone Fort.

    ¡°The sea beast tide today will most probably be extremely difficult to face!¡±

    ¡°There are too many sea beasts, it is impossible to find out how many of them will be intercepted!¡±

    ¡°Who was the one that was standing on top of the ckstone Fort? Was it Qin Feng?¡±

    ¡°Shh, stop the nonsense if you don¡¯t know what is happening!¡±

    Everyone stopped their discussion about Qin Feng and carried on with other topics, however, all of them were still focusing on the person that had appeared in the footage.

    All of them clearly knew what was happening.

    ¡°Qin Feng will have zero chance in surviving this time!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, serves him right for disrespecting our Leitang Organization.¡±

    ¡°Too bad, those who stand out too much would surely attract unfortunate events!¡±

    Everyone was having different thoughts, but all of them agreed that Qin Feng would not survive the battle!

    It was at that moment, the first footage on the screen had gone dark entirely and was then covered with white snow.

    Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

    The screens cked out one by one.

    ¡°What is happening?¡± Wang Zhichao¡¯scent expression immediately turned to that of an agitated frowning face.

    The technician from the technical department immediately reached out to fix the problem.

    ¡°Mayor, the equipment is broken!¡±

    ¡°Broken? All of it?¡±

    ¡°Mayor, it seems to have been intentionally broken by someone!¡±

    As soon as the sentence ended, Wang Zhichao controlled his anger and sneered coldly.

    Obviously, he had figured it out!

    It was Qin Feng who did it!

    ¡°Switch the screen to the coast of Sea City and check on the situation there, as the tsunami has already gone over to the shelter ind, it will soon arrive here!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Mayor!¡±

    ¡°Prepare for battle.¡±

    ¡°All departments are ready!¡±

    Visuals were soon recovered, but it was no longer showing footage from the shelter ind.

    Of course, none of them mentioned who was the one that had messed with the surveince system on the shelter ind.

    ***

    Qin Feng extended his conscious energy on the ckstone Fort, and every surveince camera began to self-destruct.

    Once he had confirmed that there was no surveince left, he shifted his focus toward the ultra beasts that had ambushed the ckstone Fort.

    The reduced sea levels had allowed them to withstand being swept away by the waves, and they began to crawl back with their blood-red eyes fixed onto Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Both of them were doused by the sea extract that had caught the attention of the ultra beasts but the sea beasts all rose up in anger as soon as they realized that it was merely Qin Feng and Bai Li!

    The level of intelligence of the sea beasts was above average.

    Qin Feng was surrounded by countless sea beasts that were continuously swarming toward him from the coast, any ordinary human being would have already gone ballistics to be trapped in such a situation.

    However, Qin Feng remained unbothered by it, and he even began to sneer.

    ¡°It is unfortunate for all of you to be here, and I wee all of you to contribute your energy to support my path toward the future!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand abruptly.

    In the next moment, a ck light was channelled up into the sky.

    It was a massive pir of light that was about two meters in width, and the ck light that was shot up had turned all of the clouds above pitch-ck.

    The aptitude users from Pingyun would definitely be surprised if they were to witness such a scene.

    It was the same skill that Qin Feng had used against the Wraith Devil.

    At that moment, those that were at Pingyun were unable to see clearly what had happened in the sky due to the limited vision at night.

    Now, despite strong winds that were blowing from the sea and the sky that was filled with blurry grey clouds, the horrifying scene in the sky could still be seen vividly.

    However, there was nobody that was there to witness such a horrifying scene.

    ck clouds rolled in a gradually intensifying spiral movement while the color turned darker as the spiralling became faster, all of a sudden, ck rain began to pour down from the sky.

    ¡°Decaying Rain!¡±

    Qin Feng called out the name of the ability.

    It was indeed a deadly rain that quickly turned sea beasts into corpses as soon as it hit them.

    Qin Feng was able to feel all the energy that was being removed from all the sea beasts there. The energy was channeled to their brains, forming a new energy core that controlled their bodies to ignore the pain from the heavily decayed body, and the energy level within them had also sky-rocketed.

    ¡°Corpse Control Style!¡±

    Qin Feng utilized the remaining conscious energy left from Shademaster, and he was able to gain instant control of all of the carcasses in the surroundings.

    Within a split second, it was like Qin Feng was connected with another contract beast from deep within his conscious energy. However, they did not have any thoughts and were only blindly following instructions that were given, it was totally different from Bai Li.

    ¡°Detonate!¡±

    Themand initiated explosions in every single skull of the carcasses, and energy cores were sted out from the explosion.

    Qin Feng¡¯smand could even send them to death.

    Of course, as soon as the sea beasts were drenched in the decaying rain, they were already dead!

    Decayed carcasses piled up on the outer parts of the ckstone Fort while ultra beasts were still constantly swarming in from the sea and ambushing the ind.

    However, they were all instantly controlled by Qin Feng and turned intomand-obeying carcasses.

    It was like a repetitive cycle was formed.

    Qin Feng had one hand in the air, as though it was connected with the skies, as he released a constant flow of dark runes and called down the decaying rain.

    It would certainly be an extremely taxing task for other people, but it was the total opposite for Qin Feng!

    Among the conscious energy universe, dark runes that were released from the Hell Stone had even amplified Qin Feng¡¯s decaying rain.

    Not even beast generals could avoid being infected and transformed into carcasses if they were to be doused by the decaying rain.

    Massive numbers of energy cores piled up before Qin Feng.

    ¡°Ability, devourer!¡±

    Qin Feng used his other hand and summoned all of the energy cores, devouring them all in bulks.

    Only decayed beasts would be able to produce such energy cores as they were formed from the concentrated flesh and blood of their bodies.

    Qin Feng was absorbing the intensified essence from their bodies.

    The constant devouring of the essences had strengthened the physical capabilities of Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Qin Feng also felt as if he had gained more longevity for himself by devouring the energy cores from the several Islet Tortoises.

    ¡°More!¡±

    Qin Feng carried on with his insane ughter.

    The decaying rain that was under the control of his conscious energy had turned the horrifying tide into a self-strengthening heaven.

    It was his first try in releasing such a great number of dark abilities.

    Of course, nobody was there to witness the scene!

    Qin Feng did not hold back on his attack, he carried on with his own method to annihte every sea beast that came.

    Rumble!

    Another wave of tsunami rose up to more than ten meters high along with white gushes of waves that were connected with the sky, then, the impact mmed onto the coast once again.

    It was the beginning of the month of sea beast tides!

 Chapter 261 - Slaughtering The Beast King

    <h4>Chapter 261: ughtering The Beast King</h4>

    Qin Feng stood on top of the ckstone Fort that was built high up using superior quality materials, or else, he would have been long gone with the massive waves.

    After all, the ckstone Fort was built to protect Sea City from tsunamis throughout all these years, therefore, distinct quality materials were used to ensure that it could withstand such a great impact.

    Also, without any presence of human beings, the ultra beasts would not even bother to ram onto the giant ck rocks with such great force. As such, the ckstone Fort was able to keep its best form to take on great impact.

    Qin Feng was able to use the strategic location of the ckstone Fort to his own advantage.

    The presence of the dark abilities had turned every ultra beast into his own puppets that followed hismands, then, he was able to withdraw energy from them.

    Qin Feng was also capable of taking down Sea City with the massive army that he was controlling.

    However, Qin Feng had his own intentions.

    ¡°If I were to take such a path, wouldn¡¯t I be a beastmaster?¡±

    ¡°External strength can never be more beneficial than self-improvement, the only way to regain the control of fate is to speed up the level of improvement to be the same as I was before rebirth!¡±

    ¡°Therefore, the best choice would be to take in every single one of these energy cores!¡±

    Qin Feng held onto a giant massive core and continued to devour it, and his physical capabilities spiked once again.

    Although Qin Feng might have been gifted with outstanding capabilities that came after his rebirth, he would always remind himself that there would always be someone from another part of the world that might be stronger than him.

    After all, the Three Cities covered only a small area.

    It was nothing to be proud of to conquer such a small area.

    With his current capabilities, it was not enough for Qin Feng to move forward.

    Even by achieving A-tier, Qin Feng felt that it was still insufficient for him to take on all sorts of situations.

    The tsunami retracted and left behind the ultra beasts that were prowling to rush toward the ckstone Fort, and they were all decayed by Qin Feng.

    Also, Qin Feng was cautious about not allowing the decayed carcasses to be flushed away into the sea, his hellfire was used to burn every carcass into ashes, while Bai Li collected every remaining high quality material that was fireproof.

    The wave of tsunami that had just hit ckstone Fort had washed away all of the ashes, while another wave of sea beasts continued to rush forward again, it was definitely never-ending!

    It was also a little taxing for Qin Feng to constantly cast out his conscious energy.

    However, it was extremely satisfying to do so!

    Energy cores were left behind from the deaths of every sea beasts.

    Qin Feng would only need to continue the devour to strengthen his energy.

    Incubated energy cores could also be stored into the brain to obtain conscious energy.

    Hence, both Qin Feng¡¯s physical and conscious energy were spiking simultaneously.

    With such insane waves of sea beasts, it would only require several more waves to allow Qin Feng to advance to the next tier.

    Ssh!

    Another gigantic tsunami pushed forward.

    Dong dong!

    Countless sea beasts were brought along with the waves, and theynded outside the walls of the ckstone Fort.

    As Qin Feng was protecting Bai Li and him from the massive waves with his internal strength, a horrifying dark-red tentacle crawled up the walls of the ckstone Fort.

    Qin Feng turned his eyes toward it, and from the sshing sea waters, he was able to identify a giant beast.

    The Great Squid King!

    The gigantic squid was about forty meters in length while its suckers were like massive snakes crawling up the ckstone Fort.

    King-tier!

    Its capabilities were merely E1-tier and were less powerful than Qin Feng¡¯s, but the massive body size of the Squid King would also add a greater amount of energy to it.

    The beast had noticed Qin Feng from the waves and instantly became wild and furious.

    Within a split second, multiple tentacles reached out to catch Qin Feng.

    Pa!

    A loud smacking sound was heard when the tentacles hit onto the barrier formed by Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength, the internal strength barrier fluctuated with light reflections and almost cracked upon impact.

    Qin Feng immediately switched to his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Dazzling lights sparkled from Qin Feng¡¯s saber that was made from D-tier beast king material as it took down the opponent¡¯s tentacles effortlessly.

    The Squid King was instantly angered as it raised and waved other tentacles around, towering waves were formed and the solid walls of the ckstone Fort began to vibrate along with cracking sounds, powdery pieces of the wall began to fall off.

    Pa!

    The serrated part at the edge of the city wall was ttened by the smash, Qin Feng wrapped his arm around Bai Li¡¯s waist as his Fiery Rampage burst forth, and they were able to dodge the deadly hit!

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    Qin Feng who was already E-tier was no longer the same, with his physical energy, he was able to swiftly perform the third skill of the Sky Burning Sword Style without much effort.

    Fiery mes channelled up to the sky and pierced through the body of the Squid King.

    Poof!

    The body of the Squid King was almost sliced into half.

    It was at that moment, the gigantic body of the Squid King began to copse and transform into countless small squids.

    All of them were scattered around, trying to escape, obviously, they were fearful of the situation.

    ¡°Would escape still be a viable move now?¡± Qin Feng pointed his finger toward the walls of the ckstone Fort as his ability exploded.

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    All of the small squids were trapped inside the red magma transformed by the melted stones, and they disappeared in it along with a sshing sound.

    ¡°Roar...¡±

    An unidentified roar was heard, it was neither from a human nor a beast, and it was like a roar to express its extreme sorrow, or it was panicking before its demise!

    In the next moment, a giant patch of ck mist spread across the area and covered Qin Feng whole.

    The ck mist was nothing rted to the dark elements, it was the ink from the Squid King.

    It had a highly paralyzing effect and Qin Feng would not risk taking on the hit.

    Without any reminder from Bai Li, Qin Feng swiftly escaped from the area within a split second.

    Poof!

    The mist descended upon the walls of the ckstone Fort and formed into countless holes.

    However, it was merely thest chance for the Squid King to strike back!

    Thest attempt had cost all of the Squid King¡¯s ability to secure its own life, and the remaining small squids went past the boiling magma, desperately trying to dive into the sea.

    Qin Feng¡¯s saber shed across the sky andnded precisely onto one of the small squids.

    Poof!

    It was sliced into half!

    The moment that the squid was sliced open, it was when the shapeshifting began to fail, the small squid was merely a partially duplicated part from its gigantic body.

    ¡°Keep this material from the beast king, it¡¯s quite decent, and this can be made into a roasted squid meal!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Bai Li raised her hand and withdrew the beast king¡¯s energy core and retrieved the carcass of the great squid.

    ¡°This is for you!¡± Bai Li handed over the Squid King¡¯s energy core to Qin Feng.

    ¡°You can keep it for yourself!¡± Qin Feng answered, Bai Li¡¯s transformation would require a longer time without the presence of a king-tier energy core.

    However, Bai Li did not want to take it for herself and handed it directly to Qin Feng.

    ¡°You can have it first, and once you have be stronger, you will be able to protect me!¡±

    Qin Feng took over the energy core as the edge of his lips curved upward into a smile.

    It would take immense trust for a small fox to hand out its own food to others as they would secure their own food only for themselves.

    Furthermore, since when did a spatial giant beast require protection from others?

    The little fox had even stopped humiliating him, saying that he was a weak master.

    ¡°After going through rebirth, with your apaniment, it¡¯s definitely much more interesting!¡±

    As Qin Feng spoke, he held onto the energy core that was shrinking at a fast pace.

    The king-tier ability core spun at high speed and disappeared in Qin Feng¡¯s hand, turning into ashes that were then blown away by the sea breeze.

    Qin Feng had achieved another breakthrough!

    E5-tier!

 Chapter 262 - Qin Feng is Still Alive?

    <h4>Chapter 262: Qin Feng is Still Alive?</h4>

    Ten dayster.

    At the shelter ind that was beyond the walls of Sea City.

    The reefs of the ckstone Fort appeared to have been tortured for more than a hundred years, with traces of battles left all around.

    Qin Feng shed onto a beast general that was rushing toward him and flipped it backward with his attack.

    Then, the Decaying Rain infected his opponentpletely and transformed it into a carcass, while his conscious energy continued to gain control, pinching its skull into an explosion.

    ¡°Beep beep beep!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator began to vibrate.

    He caught a glimpse of it, and it was Zhou Hao.

    Qin Feng alerted Bai Li to go into the inner parts of the ckstone Fort.

    The area had umted water from the sshing waves, and Qin Feng would not want to use hismunicator on the outside, despite Zhou Hao being his close brother, he did not need to know everything about Qin Feng.

    ¡°What is it?¡± Qin Feng turned on hismunicator and Zhou Hao¡¯s face appeared on it.

    ¡°Phew, it¡¯s good that you are alright, the bastards from Sea City are spreading fake news that is upsetting me!¡± Zhou Hao saw that Qin Feng was unscathed, and appeared fine, with only his hair that was slightly messy, and lightly tanned skin colour.

    However, Qin Feng frowned and replied in a deep voice, ¡°What did the people from Sea City say?¡±

    Zhou Hao was extremely angered by it and he startedining, ¡°They are saying that you have been missing for more than ten days and might even be buried under the sea, and that there is no news about you. They have even humiliated us by sending regards to Fengli colony, didn¡¯t you just contact Xue Xingfu three days ago? What do they mean by missing for more than ten days!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled, to those people at Sea City, he had indeed been lost for more than ten days!

    ¡°Hmm, understood, are there any rebel movements at Fengli so far?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°None of them dare to take any action so far!¡± Zhou Hao replied.

    With Lin Wuyi¡¯s presence at Fengli,bined with Zhou Hao¡¯s F-tier Emperor Golden Queen Ant that had been showcasing its strength, E-tier aptitude users could never go up against the queen ant alone, hence, it would requirebined forces to initiate a rebel movement.

    Qin Feng nodded satisfyingly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about them, meanwhile, I should also return to showcase my existence, or else, these people would really think that I am dead!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, you should p the face of those who spread such news, they are indeed a bunch of nasty people!¡±

    By spreading the fatal news about Qin Feng, would it not be directly implying that Fengli colony had be an ungoverned yet resourceful ce?

    ¡°Fear not, I would never go easy on those who dare to belittle Fengli!¡±

    Qin Feng handed over some of the tasks to Zhou Hao and ended the call.

    The situation at Fengli dissipated with the call, however, those that were at Sea City were still itching to take action.

    Qin Feng decided to make his move!

    During the early stages of the past ten days, waves would hit the shelter ind at three-hour intervals, and Qin Feng did not have a chance to close his eyes for three consecutive days of intense battle.

    As the waves began to slow down, the intervals became five hours, seven hours, and now, it would only ur once every ten hours.

    Throughout the entire ten days, Qin Feng had encountered innumerable sea beasts that had all be his target to devour. Now, he had already achieved E7-tier, and he was very close to E8-tier.

    With this kind of speed in his advancement, other people would see it as either an act of the devil or utter lies!

    Qin Feng had indeed gone through a brutal ughter the past few days.

    From all those battles, he had encountered thirteen beast kings, and two of them were cunning enough to escape from Qin Feng, hence, Qin Feng was only able to kill eleven of them.

    It was already a great aplishment!

    However, as time passed by, the presence of ultra beasts had reduced together with the fading sea beast tide.

    ¡°The people from Sea City are probably living toofortably and are beginning to look for trouble!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered.

    He was able to intercept most of the sea beast tides headed for Sea City. Some of the smaller-sized G-tier and F-tier ultra beasts still managed to reach Sea City, but the sea beast tide had definitely weakened inparison to previous years.

    With such a weak sea beast tide, absence of news from Qin Feng would definitely give an impression to everyone in Sea City that he had died from the first wave of tsunami.

    In fact, Yang Ping had been sending messages to Qin Feng to find out if he was still alive, but Qin Feng had been ignoring him.

    Now, Qin Feng would have to give Yang Ping a surprise!

    All of the carcasses were burnt off by Qin Feng¡¯s hellfire, and the ocean had washed away all of the remaining ashes, so the shelter ind was left clean and spotless once again!

    However, only those who had been on the shelter ind would know what had happened here!

    Qin Feng turned on hismunicator and contacted Yang Ping.

    ¡°Commander Yang, it seems like the sea beast tide is about to end, send someone to pick me up!¡± Qin Feng sent his request.

    On the other hand, Yang Ping was having an awesome drinking session with the others at Sea City.

    The weak tsunami of sea beasts had reduced the massive ultra beast attacks toward the city, therefore, they were able to chill and rx!

    Yang Ping¡¯s eyes widened when he looked at hismunicator, toppling over his ss in the process.

    ¡°Haha, Senior Yang, what happened? Has your body weakened? Did the two beautifuldies push you beyond your limits yesterday?¡± Another E-tier aptitude user mocked whileughing.

    Yang Ping stared at hismunicator with a stiff expression, like his eyes were about to pop out.

    ¡°Senior Yang, what is happening to you?¡±

    Somebody beside Yang Ping called out to him with a push.

    He quivered and instantly recovered from the nk stare he had on, and his facial expression had changed.

    ¡°Qin Feng, Qin Feng is still alive!¡±

    The person looked stunned for a short while, as if he did not hear Yang Ping clearly, like he had already forgotten the name.

    A short momentter, he came to, his eyes widening in the process.

    ¡°You are saying that the Qin Feng from Fengli colony is alive?¡±

    Yang Ping nodded.

    ¡°Inform Boss right now!¡±

    Only then, Yang Ping started panicking and dialed Wang Zhichao¡¯smunicator, hastily describing the situation.

    Wang Zhichao was silent for a moment, seemingly unable to register what he had heard.

    He then clenched his teeth and replied in a deep voice, ¡°Go get him, and find out what happened!¡±

    Yang Ping did not want to obey the order, but he had to.

    He could only hope for the best!

    Although Yang Ping had explicitly abandoned Qin Feng, and even triggered a time bomb that had set off a huge explosion of sea extract, during the conversation through themunicator, he acted as if he cared about Qin Feng¡¯s well-being.

    As for the case of the sea extract explosion, there was no witness that could prove that it was Yang Ping who had done it, and he could easily brush it off with other excuses when faced with Qin Feng¡¯s questioning.

    Yang Ping convinced himself as such and braced himself in replying to Qin Feng¡¯s message, however, it had been more than half an hour since he received it.

    ¡°Be quick, or else the next tide will arrive soon!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    Having not experienced any tsunami or gigantic sea beast tide, Yang Ping did not have the sense of urgency, and he thought that Qin Feng was only being fussy about having somebody pick him up as soon as possible.

    ¡°Hopefully Qin Feng barely made it out alive since he seemed to be worried about leaving the ind in such a hurry. If he really is injured, don¡¯t me me...¡±

    Yang Ping suddenly had an urge to kill with this thought in mind!

    Two hourster, Yang Ping had arrived at the shelter ind, and from afar, he could not believe what was before him, it was the same as he had left it ten days ago!

    The speedboat travelled closer toward the ckstone Fort that was about to copse, and its appearance was like a historical building that was filled with marks and scars!

 Chapter 263 - The Critical Speed

    <h4>Chapter 263: The Critical Speed</h4>

    Numerous points of impact, both big and small, had appeared on the surface of the ck walls, parts of which had even copsed.

    The scorch marks and shattered stones were indicative of what ckstone Fort had experienced.

    This was not a battle. This was a war!

    At this moment, a bunch of figures appeared in the distance. Looking closer, one would see two people, one with a tall build and another a petite feminine form. Both were shrouded in mes, quickly moving forward.

    Soon, the fiery figures came into view.

    Qin Feng had a steely expressionless face, but he was obviously not happy, speaking in a hushed tone, ¡°What took you so long? Any longer and you wouldn¡¯t have to evene!¡±

    Yang Ping only felt an overwhelming murderous aura that screamed deathing from Qin Feng, and the faint scent of blood.

    This briefly made him feel a sense of dread. It had been no more than ten days but looking at Qin Feng now, all Yang Ping saw was something that was enigmatic and unpredictable.

    ¡°Mayor Qin! Don¡¯t you know that there are ultra beasts on the beach, it was really difficult for me to even sail here so don¡¯t me me!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered, ¡°Stop dawdling. Either we leave now, or all of us stay behind!¡±

    Yang Ping was unconcerned, but he quickly nodded, ¡°Yes yes yes!¡±

    With this thought in mind, he swiftly instructed his crew to turn back to avoid going to ckstone Fort!

    In an instant, the once extremely sturdy walls of ckstone Fort, walls that had been reliable for ten whole years, copsed entirely.

    Then, a monstrous wave squeezed itself through the fort walls and spread outward.

    The waves were chasing after the speedboat with incredible speed, as if they were about to be overwhelmed at any moment.

    ¡°Hurry! The levitation gear, quick, quick!!!¡± Yang Ping¡¯s voice was now a pitch higher!

    The soldiers naturally heard themand, but not only that, a sharp siren was ringing out through the entire speedboat.

    The rm was warning about iing beast generals. There were seven of them right behind them.

    Such a situation was both thrilling and terrifying. If they were caught up with, they would surely be gulped down.

    Having pushed the propulsion engine to its maximum speed and working with the boat¡¯s suspension system, they frantically rushed toward Sea City.

    However, they underestimated how fast the water was moving.

    Crash!

    Even with the suspension system activated, the boat was still picked up by the waves and thrown forward!

    ¡°Activate the energy shields!¡±

    A sphere of energy quickly wrapped around the boat.

    Kroom!

    The wave instantly dragged the boat below the surface, the energy shield shielding them from the wave. After submerging entirely in sea water, the speedboat popped back up on the surface as it gushed forth, carried by the waves.

    The ind barrier behind them had already been submerged beneath the waves, along with the fort wall of ckstone Fort. The crack in the wall became bigger and bigger before the wall waspletely destroyed.

    The entire boat was tossed up above the waves before it was brought crashing back down below the waters. Just as that wave receded, another ten meter tall wave loomed behind them, raising up into the air before violently mming onto the boat¡¯s shield.

    Crack!

    A crack appeared on the energy shield, and its light began to flicker wildly.

    The boat¡¯s helmsman was only a G8-tier aptitude user. In the face of this ferocious force of nature, his face was pale as he feltpletely helpless!

    If the waves broke through, the boat would be smashed into splinters! Not just that, there were countless ultra beasts lurking around!

    Qin Feng and Yang Ping were not afraid, but how could the helmsman not be? He was not as strong as they were!

    ¡°It¡¯s over! We¡¯re gonna die! Oh gosh!¡± The helmsman began to cry out in a state of panic.

    At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly unleashed his internal force. Yang Ping and the helmsman felt the dense internal power emerge from him, wrapping around the speedboat like a bubble, like a new protective cover.

    This new cover was translucent, having a misty appearance. Ancient warriors would know what it was.

    An E-tier ancient warrior¡¯s internal strength was like a sea of clouds. This tumbling cloud shield naturally came from Qin Feng¡¯s internal force.

    Crash!

    A wave mmed into the shield but it ended up getting blocked by the internal force, leaving the speedboat unharmed.

    After that huge wave had passed, the speedboat was pushed back onto the surface.

    Qin Feng called out in a deep voice, ¡°What are you waiting for? Drive!¡±

    The helmsman reacted, quickly upping the amount of knots the speedboat was traveling at to push it into a mad dash forward.

    Fortunately, after a few nautical miles, the waves were not as strong as the ones before. The floating speedboat skipped across the surface of the water until it reached a part where the waves could not harry them, and chugged on ahead.

    There were some G-tier ultra beasts on the beach ahead being hunted by lower tier G-tier aptitude users who werepletely oblivious and carefree.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°Commander Yang, you saw the way of the tide just now. Best tell those aptitude users now and get them out of here!

    Yang Ping was still in a state of shock aftering back from what felt like the brink of life and death, scared out of his wits. He came to after hearing Qin Feng¡¯s voice and unconsciously nodded his head.

    ¡°Yes, yes. I¡¯m on it!¡±

    If it were not for Qin Feng, Yang Ping would have died at sea. He was a gunner, and in the face of the ocean¡¯s force, he would have been dragged below the surface and wound up in some ultra beast¡¯s belly.

    He quickly issued the rm, announcing that the tide was inbound. He also dispatched some troops ahead to assist in defense, being so busy that he did not even think of reporting to Wang Zhichao at first.

    Qin Feng was naturally sent to Sea City¡¯s most luxurious hotel as a sign of respect.

    ¡°I feel like I¡¯ve finally returned to civilization!¡±

    After having hunted for ten days, being surrounded by rotting carcasses and all made him feel ufortable and a little bit stressed out.

    The moment he reached thefortable and luxurious hotel, he felt like he could finally rx.

    ¡°Bubble bath! Bubble bath! I want a bubble bath!¡± Bai Li said in a sing-songy voice. ¡°You¡¯re taking one with me, hubby!¡±

    Qin Feng suddenly felt like his entire body boiling.

    ¡°Don¡¯t y with fire, you little vixen!¡±

 Chapter 264 - The Threatening Tide

    <h4>Chapter 264: The Threatening Tide</h4>

    Of course Qin Feng knew that in the end Bai Li was still just a fox kit that was actually around eight months old, which was why they took baths separately.

    They slept soundly after rxing on the extremely soft beds that their suites provided, drifting off into sweet dreams. It was the best sleep that they have had in thest two weeks.

    Unlike those two, the entirety of Sea City sounded a top priority alert.

    The sea beasts were iing.

    Previously, due to Qin Feng¡¯s actions and ckstone Fort¡¯s defense, the sea extract made the low-level ultra beasts that managed to bypass the shelter ind turn back to the ind, greatly reducing the city¡¯s crisis.

    However, the repeated battles in ckstone Fort left it in ruins, making it unable to resist against the force of an iing tsunami and was washed into rubles!

    Thest tsunami was split in half and did not manage to reach Sea City¡¯s coast, but now this one was pushing onward without mercy

    The careless sentries in their watchtowers widened their eyes in horror as they watched the iing rising waters and let out terrified screams.

    ¡°Run!¡±

    ¡°Run away!¡±

    ¡°The fortifications won¡¯t hold it!¡±

    ¡°Retreat, everyone retreat!¡±

    ¡°Argh! Help!¡±

    Even though they were trained soldiers, discipline be damned at such a sight!

    They tried but they did not manage to outrun it. The moment the tsunami met the shore, it was no longer a massive wave but a sh flood that had reached the top of the watchtower, and was followed by a school of ultra beasts.

    In the unlikely event that the waters threw an ultra beast at the tower, it would have brought down the structure immediately.

    Sea water rose, turning turbid yellow the moment it hit the sand and instantly bringing down the fortifications as it rolled forward. The fortifications were originally there to fend off against sea beasts and came equipped with huge cannons but now they were all submerged.

    Even heavy artillery was nothing against the force of nature!

    The aptitude users who stayed were all immediately submerged under water.

    ¡°Run! Run!¡±

    Those who were wise enough to begin running when they realized that something was wrong were now snatching mere seconds from the Reaper. Some found high ground, while others were dragged beneath the waves.

    More than eight hundred aptitude users were now in the water.

    The turbulent waters that were full of sea beasts.

    ¡°Oh f-¡±

    ¡°No!¡±

    ¡°Stay back! I said s-¡±

    They fought back with all they got, but even with all their might they still would not have been these monster¡¯s match on drynd, let alone face them underwater. There were all kinds of ultra beasts around, falling into the waters was a death sentence!

    The muddy yellow water became stained red for a moment, and in the next the red was washed away.

    Such heavy casualties!

    Yang Ping took in the sight, even when he had warned the aptitude users to fall back he did not realize how threatening the tide would have been.

    The subject that truly made them despair was what was beneath the waves.

    ¡°Beast general! E-tier beast general!¡±

    ¡°Hurry up and move!¡±

    There were loud roarsing from all around them, nobody thought about fighting anymore. The main objective was to survive.

    In this chaos, these ultra beasts thrived!

    There were three beast generals that were washed in with the tide. While it was less terrifying than the previous seven beasts, three of those things were more than what Sea City could handle!

    That was because Sea City did not have any D-tier aptitude users at the moment.

    Yang Ping¡¯s face paled. Just like that, it was up to him and the other remaining E-tier aptitude users.

    ¡°Fight back! What are you doing just standing around? Get a move on!¡± Wang Zhichao barked out orders as he stood in themand room, watching the carnage that was being ryed by a drone.

    Right now, all of the heavy artillery was submerged underwater and only E-tier gunners could be mobilized.

    ¡°Curses!¡± Wang Zhichao wrung his hands, gritted his teeth and made the decision based on his gut. ¡°Hurry and grab every E-tier aptitude user you can and get them to the frontline!¡±

    ¡°Deputy Mayor! You¡¯re... you¡¯re going too?!¡± His secretary beside him asked in a voice trembling with fear.

    ¡°If I go, then who¡¯s going to give out orders? Ready the special missiles. If things go south, we¡¯ll use those to destroy the beasts!¡±

    The secretary breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was not going to die along with the rest.

    ¡°Yes, Deputy Mayor!¡±

    Wang Zhichao frowned, his heart was drumming against his ribcage.

    Fortunately, the tide had retreated after swallowing a huge portion of the coastline, leaving a bunch of exhausted ultra beasts and half of the aptitude users alive.

    Those who were familiar with the tide knew that it would not end just like that, as far as they knew there would be another one iing within ten hours.

    This high tide basically massacred them in a sudden thrust.

    In fact, these survivors did not know that if it were not for Qin Feng¡¯s help, the situation would have been more intense and the ramifications much worse. If only ckstone Fort could hold on, if only Qin Feng did not need to retreat, then these people would have experienced a peaceful month of sea beast tide.

    Today, the cruelty of the sea beast tide month had opened people¡¯s eyes!

    At this time, Qin Feng was sleeping peacefully, and after ten hours, he naturally woke up.

    Looking at the time, it was seven o¡¯clock in the morning.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, wake up. We¡¯re going down for food!¡± Qin Feng hollered.

    For more than ten days, they ate nothing but dried rations. Their taste buds needed something new.

    Bai Li¡¯s beast-type body meant that she would be fine if she were to just eat energy crystal cores. Qin Feng, on the other hand, had not yet developed some kind of unbreakable iron stomach, and to him days without taste were days not worth living.

    Since he had returned to a human colony, the only thing to do was to have a big meal!

    After putting on his casual clothes and Bai Li putting on a dress, with her badge stuck to her chest, the two went down to the restaurant.

    This time, the restaurant was not as lively as when the Wanzong Auction was being held. There were only two to three people, their faces rejoicing as if they had just been given a new lease of life.

    He stopped by the open kitchen and said, ¡°I¡¯ve got an ingredient I¡¯d like you to prepare for me!¡±

    Then he proceeded to pull out a tentacle, which would have been unrecognizable if he did not exin what it was.

    The tentacle was only about ten centimeters long, but it was about half a meter in diameter. It looked like a millstone.

    Such arge ingredient exuded a bone chilling aura. The customers in the restaurant picked up on it and their hairs stood on their ends.

    The head chef felt his blood run cold. ¡°Sir. What exactly is this? Why does it look so scary?¡± His voice trembled a little.

    Realizing that his line of questioning seemed rather unprofessional, he steadied himself and cleared his throat. ¡°If I knew what it is I¡¯d be able to better prepare the ingredients to cook it!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, remarking, ¡°It¡¯s a Squid King, very powerful. It was an E-tier beast king! Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s very much dead!¡±

    He used his internal force to sweep away the overbearing aura that the tentacle exuded as he spoke.

    When the head chef felt the aura disappear, his body shook even more. This time with excitement!

    ¡°In all my years as a chef I never thought I¡¯d be able to cook something from an E-tier beast king! This will be legendary! Rest assured sir, I will definitely do this for you!¡±

    With a twirl, the chef began to work as he unleashed everything he had in his culinary arsenal to produce dish after mouth-watering dish from the ingredient he was given. The smell itself was enough to make people drool.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li had a very hearty breakfast.

    At this moment, a flustered G8-tier aptitude user entered the restaurant. He looked at Qin Feng and Bai Li as if he had found his saviors.

    ¡°Mayor Qin!¡±

    He was still a distance away when he began to shout.

 Chapter 265 - Put Up or Shut Up

    <h4>Chapter 265: Put Up or Shut Up</h4>

    This G8-tier aptitude user was regarded as Yang Ping¡¯s confidant, Tian Miao. Moreover, this person had previously met Qin Feng before. He was none other than the helmsman that piloted the floating speedboat!

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Qin Feng asked when he saw the person, his voice sounded rather gentle. After all, they did go through a life and death situation together.

    The man¡¯s awe at Qin Feng could be seen from his gaze, as he hurriedly said, ¡°Commander Yang can¡¯t leave the front line, and has sent me in his stead to invite you to the battle there!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a frostyugh, not bothering to mask his expression.

    Tian Miao¡¯s heart did a backflip, being a confidant he knew quite a bit about interacting with people. When he saw Qin Feng¡¯s expression he knew immediately that he was not happy to be called up.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to make this difficult for you. Make Yang Ping personallye here and tell this to me in person!¡± Qin Feng said coldly.

    Tian Miao swallowed hard and nodded quickly, ¡°Yes, yes!¡±

    He quickly sent a message, sweat beading on his forehead.

    By now, Qin Feng was almost done with his meal, casually wiping his mouth.

    Meanwhile, Bai Li was having a great time chowing down as the chef was still trying to make better dishes and was serving them to her.

    ¡°Beep Beep!¡± Qin Feng¡¯smunicator rang. When he saw who was calling, a casual smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth

    ¡°Commander Yang, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Seeing Qin Feng¡¯s unworried expression only made Yang Ping even more anxious.

    After a night of battling, he looked extremely haggard, as if his energy had dropped by a lot. This was not just the consequence of staying upte, it was because he had been overdrawing from his consciousness. His eyes had dark circles and had a ssy stare.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, the sea beast tide is here again!¡± Yang Ping said with urgency, ¡°Come to the front line!¡±

    Qin Feng only smiled.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that normal? Or were the sea beast tides you faced while I was on the shelter ind weaker?¡±

    Yang Ping was horrified. He had his own spections but after Qin Feng spoke he was left in a shock.

    The month of the sea beast tide was so peaceful in the earlier stages, could it have really been because Qin Feng was fighting hard against such a desperate crisis?

    ¡°Commander Yang, that sea extract you have was very useful. None of those sea beasts approached Sea City and only focused on ckstone Fort. It¡¯s a shame that the fort wasn¡¯t as strong, otherwise it probably would havested until the end of the month of the sea beast tide!¡±

    Yang Ping looked flushed all of a sudden, he felt a little bit guilty at that moment and even more afraid.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, what sea extract... What are you talking about? If you thought that it was useful then that¡¯s good, it¡¯s good that it was useful!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression remained the same, he knew that Yang Ping was hiding something and did not dare to admit it.

    He continued to stay silent, taking a long sip of water which Yang Ping did not dare object against as he patiently tried to persuade Qin Feng into taking action.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, help us please! There¡¯s really no other way and we¡¯ve been fighting for a whole day now. Everyone¡¯s tired!¡±

    ¡°Oh? I fought for ten days and I didn¡¯t say I was tired. You are saying that you¡¯re tired after just one day? Commander Yang, I think you¡¯ve had it going much too easy andfortable,¡± Qin Feng quickly retorted. ¡°That¡¯s it then! I¡¯ll just take another day off and you and your boys out there can give it your best shot. Besides, I think I¡¯ve done enough that¡¯s worth getting amission from Sea City. After all, no matter how powerful the ultra beasts are, wouldn¡¯t Mayor Lei be able to handle it? Don¡¯t think just because I¡¯m some foreign aptitude user that you¡¯ll get to boss me around, telling me what to do!¡±

    Yang Ping sputtered from the bitter taste in his mouth. If Lei Chen were here, he would not feel so nervous.

    The key point was that Lei Chen was not here!

    And now even Qin Feng knew, naturally based on Yang Ping¡¯s expression.

    It was normal for him to be absent. Qin Feng could recall a major event that involved the gathering of many D-tier aptitude users from the Three Cities along the Sun as well as the distant Four Cities of the North Sea.

    ¡°Right, I¡¯m gonna go take a nap or something. Good luck, Commander Yang!¡±

    Yang Ping had been beaten ck and blue; there was no way he could force Qin Feng toe to the battlefield! It was useless being as anxious as he was anyway, he could only report this to Wang Zhichao.

    ¡°Hmph! What nonsense, if he¡¯s noting then so be it! There¡¯s hundreds of thousands of people at stake and you¡¯re putting hope on some... some puffed up blowhard? How could he have faced so many beasts alone? He must be lying to you!¡± Wang Zhichao barked angrily.

    In thest sea beast tide, two ultra beast generals were taken down by advanced energy cannons.

    These high power energy cannons cost one hundred million per shot, like the ones Chi Long used in Han Town.

    They were very powerful and were expensive to use; the problem was that it took more than just one to take down an E-tier beast general, especially giant sea beasts. One shot was simply not enough.

    They had already fired five. That was five hundred million gone.

    If the situation could have been handled by throwing money at it Wang Zhichao would not have bothered asking for someone to find Qin Feng; they were running low on ammo.

    The next sea beast tide could be seening from a distance.

    ¡°I¡¯m going this time!¡± Wang Zhichao made up his mind and ordered someone to drive him to the front as he forced himself to go!

    Sea beast tides got weaker and weaker each wave, he could only hope that the next wave had weaker beasts!

    He was sorely disappointed when he saw that the next wave had five sea beast generals.

    After all, ckstone Fort on the shelter ind had copsed at this point and there were traces of battle left behind by Qin Feng. It was unknown how much beast king blood still lingered on the spot.

    These beast generals made the mistake of arriving on that ind and immediately retreated. There were stronger ones behind them and those did not dare turn back. So with nowhere to go, the only direction was Sea City!

    Wang Zhichao scanned the surroundings with his drone and steeled his face from the results, obviously he was hesitating his next decision.

    He asked in a grave voice, ¡°Yang Ping, what Qin Feng said about being worthy ofmission. He was just trying to extort us for money, wasn¡¯t he?¡±

    Yang Ping was taken aback by this, hesitating for a moment before saying, ¡°Maybe... yeah, it must be!¡±

    In reality, Qin Feng just did not want to show up and this had nothing to do with money but the serious look on Wang Zhichao¡¯s face scared him enough to say so!

    Wang Zhichao immediately said, ¡°Contact Qin Feng and tell him it¡¯s a hundred million per beast general and ask him if he can take action!¡±

    That could have been considered as preferential treatment but there was nobody who could take down these E-tier beast generals, and their artillery shells cost one hundred million per shot. It was just more cost effective to hire Qin Feng.

    Yang Ping quickly contacted him.

    ¡°Deputy Mayor, Qin Feng says that he gets to keep whatever he kills!¡±

    Wang Zhichao was furious but he could only grind his teeth. ¡°Fine!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Half an hourter, Qin Feng slowly arrived at the newly-established fortifications. In fact, it was dangerously close to Sea City; those within the city could hear the roars of the sea beasts.

    If this wall were to be breached then the sea beasts would swarm the city and ughter its residents.

    A blood-drenched Sea City would be a delicious feast for the beasts.

    He had changed into hisbat uniform by the time he arrived at the fortifications. He was tall and handsome but did not give off the aura that a young person would have, quite the contrary, he had this calmness that made him seem deep and unfathomable.

    However, Wang Zhichao treated Qin Feng with little respect.

    ¡°What a bigshot you are! You wanted us to be begging on our knees so you¡¯d show up?¡±

    Qin Feng let out a frostyugh, ¡°Put up or shut up! Don¡¯t talk the talk if you can¡¯t walk the walk!¡±

 Chapter 266 - Easily Handled

    <h4>Chapter 266: Easily Handled</h4>

    Qin Feng responded rather bluntly.

    There was a tinge of red on Wang Zhichao¡¯s eyes, the bloodshot look obviously meant that he was furious! Qin Feng¡¯s words were like a p in the face.

    Wang Zhichao did not have a way of defending himself because he knew that there was nothing he could say to refute those words. If only he was strong enough to take on these beast generals by himself, then he would have already gone ahead instead of having to deal with Qin Feng¡¯s unfettered attitude.

    It was at this moment that Qin Feng continued to speak, ¡°I see that you¡¯re not willing to admit defeat, Deputy Mayor Wang. We¡¯ll have a littlepetition of who can kill the most ultra beasts. How about that?¡±

    Wang Zhichao did not dare to take on this bet.

    ¡°I have to preside over the situation so how could I have time to go messing around with you? You¡¯re wasting time with all talk and no action, every second counts, and with every second a life could be lost. Mayor Qin, I hope you can see the bigger picture!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled in a slightly disdainful manner.

    Such a person was afraid of evenparing prowess in battle and they wanted to hurt him?

    Sounds like a fever dream.

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze left the Deputy Mayor and he finally had a look at the situation.

    Indeed there were five beast generals running amok, one of them was a Drakocroc general and there was also a Frigid Armored Bear, a Teal Tyrant Crab, a Three-Banded Boa as well as a Triple Octopus.

    Theirbined strength was immense.

    Moreover, all of these beasts were huge and were no less than ten meters tall. It seemed like they were sweeping the area of aptitude users, who could only duck their heads and run. The Sea City army took out arge number of electrofusion guns to paralyze and stall these beasts¡¯ movements.

    One aptitude user pulled the trigger and electricity erupted from the muzzle toward the ground before forming into arge to act as a hindrance to the enemy, but he was much too close to his target.

    Psst!

    The Three-Banded Boa general locked onto its target and sted out a spray of red, yellow and purple smoke, almost forming a small cluster of fog in its target area.

    The aptitude user was shocked when he was covered by the fog and wanted to flee. After two steps, it felt as if something was stuck in his throat and he found himself unable to breathe, his mouth agape as his face turned blue. By the time his eyes rolled to the back of his head, he had already died before he hit the ground.

    The surrounding aptitude users were too afraid to move forward and did not dare attack. Those few E-tiers from Sea City could only surround the beast warily, otherwise these ultra beasts would turn the whole ce upside down!

    They were like Yang Ping, haggard and dirty, their hands refusing to rest in their fight against the ultra beasts.

    What a motley crew!

    These people had been beaten down and were almost broken, their confidence was in shambles. Otherwise, a group of E-tier aptitude users would have no problem taking down a single E-tier ultra beast so long as they worked together!

    Not to mention, Wang Zhichao was here. The problem was that even though Wang Zhichao had the strength, he did not have the spirit.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Qin Feng was enveloped in mes as he quickly entered the battlefield. Almost instantly, the moment hended into hostile grounds, a beast general had already locked onto him

    It was the Teal Tyrant Crab. The giant enemy crab was huge, it was about five or six meters wide and had two huge pincers that were probably two to four meters long. The pincers were strong enough to shred through bedrock.

    When it saw Qin Feng appear, the Teal Tyrant Crab did not hesitate to try and snap him up with its pincers. He responded quickly, pulling out the Verdant Emperor Saber to parry the iing w attack.

    ng!

    Sparks flew as their weapons collided.

    Everyone nearby had on a shocked expression. The shell of that crab was incredibly tough and they knew that better than anyone.

    After all, if it were not for that fact the thing would have died already. Its shell resisted their dposition sters and they had no other way of removing its exoskeleton.

    In Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, this did not mean much. The split second after sparks were created, he violently flung the crab backwards with the amount of force he exerted; he continued his momentum and brought the Verdant Emperor Saber down on the crab again.

    That kind of power was too great to imagine. He was not just holding back the crab, he was quite literally knocking it back.

    Wang Zhichao witnessed Qin Feng¡¯s bravery andbat prowess, and his eyes momentarily reflected intense jealousy.

    So young but so powerful. Someone like that was going to be a huge problem if he were not dealt with soon.

    However, there was nothing Wang Zhichao could do! Unless...

    His eyes suddenly lit up.

    ¡°Disregard the critical moment we are in and lure that twenty-four-arm octopus and giant drakacroc there!¡±

    If the five ultra beasts were to gather together, that might as well be a disaster. In order to prevent that from happening, those fighting had naturally separated them into different parts of the battlefield so that the E-tier aptitude users could deal with them one by one.

    These people, who were highly ranked in Sea City, were also members of the Leitang Organization.

    They were still taken aback by Wang Zhichao¡¯s words.

    ¡°Deputy Mayor, wouldn¡¯t that actually make things worse?¡±

    ¡°If these ultra beasts kill Qin Feng, they¡¯ll be harder to control and it wouldn¡¯t be easy to separate them again!¡±

    ¡°Deputy Mayor, please reconsider!¡±

    Nobody dared speak out loud, instead they directed their messages back to him through theirmunicators. The E-tiers of Sea City already had their hands full in the face of just one of these sea beast generals, they did not believe that Qin Feng could take on three at a time!

    ¡°Hmph, didn¡¯t he brag about how he defended the shelter ind for more than ten days? I want to see just how strong he is. Now move it!¡± Wang Zhichao said coldly.

    At this point, the other E-tier aptitude users had begun to deviate from their original positions and were headed toward Qin Feng. Of course, while the n was to throw in some false drama, it was not hard to y their panic off as real. In reality, they could not bear it anymore!

    ¡°Mayor Qin! Help!¡±

    An E-tier ancient warrior rushed toward his side and the Triple Octopus chasing behind him was much stronger than he was. It shifted its tentacles under it and started to gallop forward, if it got close enough tosh out, it would have been able to grab this ancient warrior ten times over.

    However, this octopus was nowhere near that beast king he fought.

    Qin Feng had been repeatedly flipping over the Teal Tyrant Crab, naturally moving away from their original position, and it just so happened that the Triple Octopus was in the same path.

    He flipped the crab directly at the octopus, their bodies collided with one another and caused them to sustain massive damage.

    There was no doubt that this ancient warrior was safe!

    Qin Feng did not stop his attacks.

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    He summoned runes that quickly appeared under the feet of the two ultra beasts.

    Boom!

    The ground seemed to spew out magma, drowning the Teal Tyrant Crab and the Triple Octopus in it. This scorchingva singed the fine hairs on the skin of the E-tier aptitude users that were too close by as they felt the intense heat, especially the ultra beast generals that were caught in it!

    What a devastating attack!

    By this time, the Drakocroc general had reached Qin Feng¡¯s position.

    ¡°Come on then!¡± Qin Feng shouted, raising a hand and causing more mes to spread.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    A straight line of bright light pierced through the air, the glint of it momentarily dazzled the onlookers.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber had directly shed through the neck of the Drakocroc general. The E-tier aptitude users that the Drakocroc had been chasing around suddenly stopped.

    A ck, charred wound had appeared around the creature¡¯s neck, right before the huge head began to roll off onto the ground.

    The Drakocroc general had been in!

    Three ultra beast generals, two of which yet to be confirmed dead. Nobody had expected the situation to turn out like this!

 Chapter 267 - Absolutely Humiliated

    <h4>Chapter 267: Absolutely Humiliated</h4>

    It was just a momentary confrontation, but Qin Feng had disyed such explosivebat prowess.

    ¡°Bring the remaining two over here too!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a grimugh, standing on the Drakocroc general¡¯s back as the creature¡¯s charred skin bled profusely with a stream of thick blood.

    Everyone was as quiet as cicadas in winter.

    Qin Feng had already seen through their actions but regardless of how many there were, the beasts had to be killed, so he could not care less!

    These creatures were simply no threat to his person at all. Soon, the remaining two were unceremoniously put down with his Fire Dragon Style.

    An aptitude user who had just awakenedst year; a talented ability user genius but had also mastered two ultimate level abilities and even had an inconceivable level of sword fighting which could allow him to kill beast generals in seconds.

    When people saw Qin Feng¡¯s strength, it felt like they had just reached the foot of a very tall mountain.

    After killing all five beasts, he began to stuff their remains into his spatial rune equipment in full view of everyone.

    Without the beast generals leading the charge, the other ultra beasts were not as confident in their advance.

    These ultra beasts were soon blocked off by gunners, and Sea City¡¯s troops began to rebuild their fortifications in anticipation for the next sea beast tide.

    Based on their previous experience, there would be around one or two waves left before the season would end!

    Qin Feng walked to where Wang Zhichao was, noticing the other¡¯s ashenedplexion. Like he owed him a few billion yuan.

    ¡°Deputy Mayor Wang, with good luck I managed toplete the mission!¡± Qin Feng said.

    That made Wang Zhichao suddenly very upset.

    He could only make sure that his face remained stern as he coldly remarked, ¡°Bear in mind not to be impatient! You¡¯re still young, don¡¯t just go around showing off!¡±

    As he said that, Wang Zhichao faintly revealed the aura of an E8-tier ancient warrior. His gaze fell onto the E-tier badge on Qin Feng¡¯s chest and he felt a sense of superiority.

    Qin Feng merely chuckled.

    Around this time, an ancient warrior appeared next to him.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, thank you so much for just now!¡± The man was grinning from ear to ear. ¡°My name is Chu Yingshan, a drifter!¡±

    Drifters, also known as ¡®experiencers¡¯ were not originally people from the Three Cities. They just happened to have been passing by.

    Chu Yingshan was by no means weak. Standing at E5-tier, he had been hired by Wang Zhichao to help with the sea beast tide.

    He was the one that was pinning down the Frigid Armored Bear, that ice-coated monstrosity could have been considered the strongest of all the ultra beast generals. It was also E5-tier!

    Even though they were in the same tier, it was clear that Chu Yingshan could not have beaten his opponent. One false step and he would have ended up bing prey!

    He was in it for the money so that he would not have any problems in the future. He already knew that Wang Zhichao¡¯s people would cheat him, but all he could do was endure. This was not thest resort either and he could not turn on these people, all he nned to do was turn tail and run the moment it became too dangerous.

    Therefore, when Qin Feng came over to help, he managed to earn Chu Yingshan¡¯s gratitude.

    ¡°Hello, you can just call me Qin Feng!¡± He reached out to shake the other¡¯s hand.

    Before his rebirth, he was a drifter too. He had been to plenty of ces, walked from the north to the south and witnessed the seasons change. Qin Feng knew of the difficulties drifters had, but he wasfortable with them.

    Chu Yingshan appeared to have great potential, he did not look very old, probably around twenty eight years old from the looks of it.

    ¡°Qin Feng, when I came over to the Three Cities I¡¯ve admired you for quite a while. I didn¡¯t expect that I¡¯d get to be in battle alongside you today! You¡¯re stronger than I imagined, and you say you¡¯re only seventeen years old, right?¡±

    Chu Yingshan and Qin Feng struck up a conversation.

    Qin Feng¡¯s height was now very close to his fully developed height before his rebirth. He was taller and stronger than most ordinary people, standing at 189cm tall.

    With such a height and physique, he indeed did not look like a seventeen year old!

    ¡°That¡¯s right, but my age has nothing to do with my strength. I mean I have strength now but I couldn¡¯t have done so without experience. In the past seven or eight months, I¡¯ve experienced hardships that normal people couldn¡¯t even begin to imagine!¡± Qin Feng said.

    At this point, Chu Yingshan and Qin Feng had found amon topic.

    ¡°Not bad. Strength doesn¡¯te from nowhere. Ites from facing life or death situations, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t have be a drifter. Though, Qin Feng, how strong are you now?¡±

    It was not just Chu Yingshan that was curious. Wang Zhichao, who had turned to face the side, was curious as well. He wanted to know Qin Feng¡¯s true strength.

    His body was very strong, having the body of a beast king made his level unpredictable. Not only that, he had not been truly tested before. That E-tier badge he had on was merely his current identity, without it people would not believe that he was merely E-tier.

    The asteroid assimtion move had its limits as well, the move used no more than one tenth of his internal force and naturally his power was still a mystery.

    Qin Feng nced at Wang Zhichao and smirked at the thought of that mild aura he produced earlier.

    ¡°Right now, I¡¯m almost about to reach E8-tier!¡± He said, mobilizing more than sevenyers of the sea of clouds that were his internal force as his body began to unleash his aura.

    At that moment, Chu Yingshan and Wang Zhichao felt as if they were facing an infernal beast! The force was absolutely terrifying!

    Wang Zhichao felt absolutely humiliated and no longer wanted to listen to the conversation between the two.

    What did he just hear?

    An E-tier seventeen-year-old, twenty years younger than he was.

    Going out to practice and gain experience, was that them mocking him not leaving his house? Wang Zhichao could not remember when was thest time he actually fought!

    Not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength was catching up to his own.

    He thought about how he deliberately exposed his internal power just now and felt that his face was a burning red.

    These two were so busy talking that they naturally would not have been bothered by Wang Zhichao.

    ¡°But you¡¯re also an ability user, that¡¯s really impressive! Was ancient martial arts something you had to cultivate? Man, I finally know what the word ¡®genius¡¯ means!¡± Chu Yingshan said with admiration.

    Wang Zhichao¡¯s expression was ashen, letting out a cold harrumph as he turned to leave. The way he moved hinted that he was going to break out into a run at any moment.

    Chu Yingshan noticed the Deputy Mayor at that moment, and he asked with some confusion, ¡°Deputy Mayor Wang, what¡¯s wrong? Think we¡¯re wasting time talking here? Now that the situation¡¯s stable, you wouldn¡¯t want us to go kill more ultra beasts, right?¡±

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°Maybe the shock is too much.¡±

    Chu Yingshan caught the meaning behind his words and understood what actually happened before letting out a boisterousugh.

    ¡°Talented people are produced with each generation, the new is always recing the old. Even if your mind is too narrow, martial arts will never stop moving forward!¡± said the ancient warrior.

    After Chu Yingshan had awakened, he began to wander about. He was more familiar with ultra beasts than he was with people, and he had never experienced infighting within a colony. While he was not naive, he was absolutely innocent, and even had an absolute belief in martial arts.

    The man had Qin Feng beat in that regard.

    After he awakened his ability, Qin Feng also knew that in this world, abilities were the strongest, second to none.

    As an ability user continued to grow, they could raise mountains and part seas, wipe out enemy forces with a snap of their fingers. There was nothing they could not do.

    In contrast, although the ancient warrior¡¯s internal force was strong and their martial prowess impable, they did not have the destructive firepower needed in the face of sea beast tides like ability users did.

    Qin Feng was about to reach D-tier, and he anticipated that moment more and more!

 Chapter 268 - Qin Feng, A Lunatic

    <h4>Chapter 268: Qin Feng, A Lunatic</h4>

    Qin Feng was naturally spared from the remaining battle.

    The executives of Sea City paid a total of five billion to Qin Feng reluctantly.

    It was a fair trade considering Qin Feng¡¯s feat. However, the other aptitude users still bemoaned for not getting any materials after putting in the effort to stall the beast generals earlier.

    These people knew nothing about gratitude. Qin Feng paid no attention to them.

    The G8-tier aptitude user, Tian Miao, who escorted Qin Feng earlier, was the only few showing Qin Feng proper respect. He prepared a spacious car for Qin Feng to rest and had also brought along the chef from Sea City hotel to cook for Qin Feng.

    There were ample materials in Qin Feng¡¯s spatial equipment. The chef was an excellent cook and Qin Feng was being generous with the ingredients. That resulted in one delicious dish after another.

    Chu Yinshan had joined Qin Feng for the meal. Their conversation provided Qin Feng a lot of new information that he was not aware of in his past life.

    After all, Chu Yinshan was more than ten years older than Qin Feng and had a great life experience. He would no doubt make a good mentor.

    Qin Feng admired a man of such calibre.

    ¡°I suggest you visit Niumeng City after you are done with Sea City,¡± Qin Feng said.

    Chu Yinshan looked at Qin Feng with surprise, then he nodded. ¡°Okay. I will do as you say.¡±

    They chatted for a while and Chu Yinshan took his leave. After all, amidst the climax of the sea beast tide, even an F-tier beast could be a huge headache.

    Qin Feng was allowed to rest because he had single-handedly in five beast generals to turn the tides around.

    You do not draw a sword to kill a fly.

    Two hourster, the tides had once again subsided. However, the defense team along the coastline dared not loosen up and hurriedly strengthened the barrier to prevent the seawater from flooding the city.

    They had no room to retreat now. Right behind them were the precious ntation lots of Sea City.

    The barricade was more than twenty meters high. It was built up speedily surrounding the periphery of Sea City with proper drainage.

    Such construction was a piece of cake to the human race with the current technological advancements.

    Soon, the sun went down the horizon. Orange rays bathed the evening sky, disying a thrilling yet poignant scenery.

    The wind seemed to have declined gradually.

    However, the hearts of the people in Sea City were still clenched, knowing that this cmity was far from its ending.

    ¡°Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!¡±

    The rm was sounded yet again, signaling the arrival of the next sea beast tide.

    The surveince drones that were patrolling in the sky were instantly sted away by the storm. Turbulent sea waves crashed on the barricade outside Sea City mercilessly.

    Ssh!

    The dam floor was once again flooded by the waves. The barricade worked perfectly as it effectively prevented water from entering the city.

    ¡°Here theye!¡±

    ¡°Trigger the electric mine!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t let them climb the barricade!¡±

    Members of the battalion shouted out the instructions hysterically.

    Qin Feng alighted the vehicle and quickly went up the barricade. From his vantage point, he could see that the base of the barricade had been thronged by countless beasts.

    Suddenly, a Blue Croc jumped up from the water. Its three-meter-long body climbed up the barricade rapidly. Once it reached the top, the beast struck its maw and bit the nearest aptitude user.

    Almost instantaneously, the aptitude user lost his legs. He was dragged down to the waters violently while shrieking painfully.

    Fresh blood stained the mud-water red.

    Qin Feng drew his ster and shot the Blue Croc.

    Blood spread across the pool rapidly, which attracted more beasts to the spot.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Qin Feng fired rapidly. He did not miss a single shot and in the blink of an eye, the aptitude user was surrounded by beast carcasses.

    The aptitude user was unharmed other than his initial wound. He knew someone had just saved his life.

    He followed the projectile of the gunshot and saw Qin Feng who was still calmly firing. Each shot from his ster instantly took away the life of a beast.

    That was true strength.

    Feeling grateful and astonished, the aptitude user took advantage of the short window of safety and climbed up to the nearestnd with both his hands and feet.

    Qin Feng, who had been watching the aptitude user, pulled a long face.

    Both of his legs were broken. His lower limbs were nowhere to be seen under his pants.

    ¡°Thank you kind sir!¡± The guy smiled at Qin Feng but there was more sorrow on his face rather than joy.

    Though he was an ancient warrior, he was now a disabled man after losing both his legs. There was a slim chance that he would ever battle again.

    Such was the fate of every aptitude user.

    At least he was still alive.

    Qin Feng took in a deep breath and nodded back. The ster in his hands was being fired more rapidly now.

    How many humans had fallen to the sea beast tide?

    An idea suddenly came to Qin Feng¡¯s mind. He had never thought about it in the past, including his previous life.

    ¡®When will Doomsday end? We have been living like this for two hundred years!¡¯

    ¡®A-tiers are just petty flies in the eyes of those behemoths. Though S-tier is an entirely different existence, even they are unable to change the course of human fate in this hellish world.¡¯

    ¡®What can I do then? Is it possible for me to reach S-tier, SS-tier, or even higher?¡¯

    ¡®If that¡¯s achievable, will human race finally be able to close the rift permanently and end this f*cking Doomsday once and for all then?¡¯

    The target became clearer and clearer in Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    Qin Feng moved even faster. His conscious energy was expanding insanely through the tense battle.

    E8-tier! Qin Feng made a breakthrough during the battle.

    At the same time, the rm of themunicator rang once more.

    Even without its warning, Qin Feng could already see the horrible creature.

    Unknown spots were seen floating on the mud water. As the wave crashed forward, the spots reflected the rays of the setting sun and appeared orange in color.

    It could be easily mistaken as a giant translucent or a piece of stic. But the aura around the ¡°thing¡± was telling enough that it was no ordinary creature.

    An E5-tier beast king!

    It was a gigantic jellyfish.

    Though it was still quite far away from the city, people could easily spot the monster from high ground. The monster was carried by the river, and dead bodies could be seen piling around it. The monster was eerily quiet.

    Those bodies must have been killed by the jellyfish¡¯s poison.

    So the identity of the beast was a mutated jellyfish carrying deadly venom.

    Everyone was daunted by the beast, except Qin Feng.

    A sense of determination could be seen in his eyes.

    ¡®Kill, kill them all to end this sickening world! This is the living duty of every human on this Earth!¡¯

    The next moment, Qin Feng raised his hand and summoned a beast.

    Umbra stallion!

    Qin Feng climbed the horse and galloped straight toward the jellyfish.

    The defenders on the barricade rounded their eyes watching Qin Feng¡¯s action.

    ¡°What is he doing?¡± Wang Zhichao could not believe his own eyes.

    Yang Ping¡¯s lips were trembling too. He watched Qin Feng¡¯s back and realized how foolish he was before for attempting to take this man¡¯s life.

    ¡°Is he crazy!?¡±

    He might very well be. Or else, he would not dare to challenge a beast king all by himself.

    Only a lunatic would do what Qin Feng was doing.

    He had no fear!

 Chapter 269 - Killing the Beast King with Ease

    <h4>Chapter 269: Killing the Beast King with Ease</h4>

    To most people, a beast king symbolized total destruction.

    Aptitude users would only dare to challenge the beast king if the tier gap was huge enough.

    Otherwise, it was no different from suicide.

    Wang Zhichao was thebatant with the highest tier on the scene.

    The corresponding beast king within his capability would be an F8-tier. However, he still would not dare face an F8-tier beast king alone if it really did appear. A minor slip up in front of a beast king would get him killed instantly.

    As for now, the beast king they were expecting was an E5-tier.

    Not to mention, it was one of the most horrendous kinds¡ªVenomous Giant Seawasp.

    Even Lei Chen would have hesitated if he were here.

    A creature like a beast king could usually be avoided if one did not provoke it. Sea wasps were not able to live without water so it would certainly leave when the wave recedes.

    Yet, Qin Feng had decided to challenge the unthinkable.

    They could think of one possibility¡ªQin Feng had gone insane.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    Hellfire spanning one hundred meter square burned zingly.

    The fire seemed to be undeterred by the water and attached itself to the Seawasp king¡¯s body.

    The me engulfed the beast rapidly.

    The Venomous Seawasp did not make a sound but expressed its anger by sshing the water. A giant wave soon formed and engulfed Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was fused with the stallion¡¯s and they galloped to the sky to evade the massive wave.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    A fire dragon emerged in response to Qin Feng¡¯s raised hand. The dragon then dived back down straight into the water.

    The excessive heat carried by the dragon boiled the seawater instantaneously.

    The steam generated from the boiling was highly venomous. Qin Feng relied on his physical attributeparable to that of a beast and continued to battle fearlessly.

    Other ultra beasts around copsed as soon as they came in contact with the venomous vapor.

    ¡°Retreat. Abandon this barricade now!¡± Wang Zhichao bellowed and ordered everyone to fall back at once. The steam had reached the barricade and already put down a few soldiers.

    No one dared to stay put. They did not wish to suffer from the ¡°battle between gods¡±.

    ¡°Run!¡±

    ¡°So this is the power of an E-tier aptitude user? That¡¯s insane!¡±

    ¡°No. Perhaps only Qin Feng could be this powerful.¡±

    Other aptitude users hadpletely given up the barricade. They did not care whether the beasts would climb the wall and threaten the safety of Sea City.

    Their own safety was the top priority at the moment.

    The sea beasts, on the other hand, did not have time to ascend the barricade either. They were killed by the poison, if not already burned to death.

    The venom from the Seawasp king was deadly but Qin Feng had no fear.

    The attack from the Venomous Seawasp was equally aggressive.

    It was not a simple-minded beast that relied solely on its brute force but a highly intelligent water-type beast king.

    Qin Feng¡¯s fire-type ability should be countered easily by its water-type attack. Yet, the beast could feel that its life force was being sapped out by an unseen power hidden within the mes.

    That was because the me was not an ordinary me but Hellfire!

    This type of me was equipped with dark runes, which enabled it to burn away its target¡¯s life energy.

    Ssh!

    A waterspout rose from the seawater and struck at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng urged his stallion to gallop away.

    One after another, waterspouts rose behind Qin Feng.

    Then, a giant water dragon from within the waves chased after Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng hastily summoned the fire dragon and the two forces collided head-on. The fire dragon was extinguished, while the water dragon evaporated.

    The resulting water vapor shrouded the area. No living creature was able to escape this dead zone.

    ¡°My turn!¡±

    The Venomous Seawasp had a huge, soft, and slimy body. The beast was only able to reach the shore by clinging onto the dead bodies of other beasts.

    The beast king had almost zero weaknesses. Its body was mainly constructed by water. Even if it was shredded, the beast could quickly heal itself by absorbing the water runes in its surrounding.

    But Qin Feng knew that even such a beast was not invincible. Its weak point was its water-type ability core.

    The core was currently being protected by a ball of muddled materials.

    Amidst the wave, the water depth was about seven to eight meters deep. But the ground beneath it still trembled as Qin Feng pointed at it.

    ¡°Lava Flow!¡±

    This style did not only alter thend but also created a sting impact.

    The ground under the seawater quaked rampantly as if Qin Feng had taken control of ava vein within the crust.

    Boom!

    A spout in red broke through the ground and shot up to the sky.

    It was ava-spout. Like volcano eruption, theva elevated sky high all the way into the clouds.

    At this moment, even the aptitude users that stayed far behind the barricade could get a glimpse of theva-spout.

    The Venomous Seawasp, who resided right on top of theva-spout, was unprepared for it. Its body was made of water so theva pierced right through it instantly.

    ¡°Come here!¡± Qin Feng extended his hand and the ability core fell right onto his palm.

    The ability core was almost the size of a basketball.

    Plentiful water runes swirled around the core. This could be easily sold at three billion in the market.

    The Venomous Seawasp did not die immediately after losing the core. That only provoked it further.

    Translucent materials began to stack up and it promptly surrounded Qin Feng. The beast wanted to engulf Qin Feng and poison him to death.

    Qin Feng danced furiously with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The fire radiances from the saber turned into a fiery cyclone andpletely shattered the Seawasp¡¯s water around him.

    Then, scarlet mes spread across thend and ruthlessly scorched everything it touched.

    The Venomous Seawasp¡¯s body was lit by Qin Feng¡¯s hellfire and turned into ashes.

    Seawater gradually regressed after the epic battle came to an end. Qin Feng and his stallion were seen standing on the body of a giant sea beast.

    There was only one word to describe the surrounding¡ªMassacre!

    All the beasts being washed up to the shore were killed silently by the battle between Qin Feng and the Seawasp.

    This round of sea beast tide ended abruptly, with Qin Feng being thest man standing.

    In a dimension where others could not see, remaining power from the killed beasts was absorbed rapidly by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng instantly made another breakthrough.

    E8-tier!

    The others could only watch in awe. Theirmunicators were still connected to the regionalwork while some drones were still patrolling the sky. They witnessed the entire process, as well as the final oue.

    This sea beast tide had ended in the hand of a single man.

    How unbelievable was that?

    ¡°Qin Feng. So this man is the mayor of Fengli colony...¡±

    ¡°He is the real deal!¡±

    ¡°Is Fengli still recruiting? I am so going to Fengli after this.¡±

    ¡°Did he just break through the next tier?¡±

    ¡°How strong could he be? I believe he will attain D-tier in no time!¡±

    The aptitude users behind the wall discussed feverishly.

    Qin Feng rode the stallion back on top of the barricade. He looked down on those aptitude users that had clumsily fled back by a few hundred meters earlier.

    The umbra stallion galloped and stirred up the dark mist behind it. Soon, Qin Feng arrived in front of them, and the people subconsciously opened up a path to let him through.

 Chapter 270 - A Fruitful Return

    <h4>Chapter 270: A Fruitful Return</h4>

    Qin Feng knew exactly who he wanted to meet first. He moved swiftly toward Wang Zhichao.

    ¡°You don¡¯t need to pay me the reward for the beast king but I will take home all the loot. Please deliver them to me after they have been collected and packed properly. I guess it¡¯s not too much to ask using some of your manpower?¡±

    He had helped Sea City to eradicate waves of beasts. So of course, it was not too much to ask.

    Qin Feng spoke using a superior tone. Wang Zhichao could only look up to him now. In fact, everybody was looking at him like he was a hero.

    Indeed, he was not much different from a hero now.

    ¡°No problem. This is the least we can do to repay you. I will make sure everything is properly arranged.¡± Wang Zhichao finished his sentence with a twisted face.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Qin. These loots are all yours. We will keep watch over them.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. We won¡¯t allow anyone to embezzle even a single material into their own pockets.¡±

    ¡°Mr. Qin, you should get some rest now.¡±

    Everyone was standing by Qin Feng¡¯s side. Wang Zhichao¡¯s face could not be any darker.

    He did not have any intention to pocket the loot. However, what others said clearly alluded that he was a corrupted man.

    Qin Feng nodded to them and went his own way.

    The evening glow slowly faded away. It took a lot of time topletely harvest the beast parts. Qin Feng did not n to sell them out directly as he did in the past. Instead, he asked Tan Yue to prepare for him a cargo truck as he wanted to carry them back to Fengli.

    Night fell and people remained vignt throughout the whole night. Nevertheless, the sea beast tide did not hit again until the next morning. asionally, some beasts came ashore but they were easily dealt with by the guards on night watch.

    They knew that the month of the sea beast tide had finallye to an end.

    Qin Feng brought home more than ten cargo trucks. This was another fruitful trip.

    Owing to that, Qin Feng was the greatest hero of this year¡¯s sea beast tide, Wang Zhichao and others had alsoe to bid him farewell. However, their faces could not be any more somber when they saw Qin Feng.

    After the catastrophe, people began to rebuild the coastline. Sea City had also sent out drones to check out the situation at ckstone Fort.

    The fort had turned into a ruin. Sea City would need to spend substantially to rebuild the entire thing. This was all thanks to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng sneered. He understood the cold look on their faces and felt for them.

    Nheless, none of this would have happened if they did not conspire against him in the first ce.

    They were reaping what they sowed.

    ¡°That should do it. Deputy Mayor, I can find my own way back from here on.¡± Qin Feng politely rejected their escort.

    Wang Zhichao replied resentfully, ¡°I hope Mr. Qin can be our guest at Sea City again next year. Sea City is extremely safe with you here.¡±

    ¡°Haha,¡± Qin Fengughed and rebutted, ¡°That would not be necessary. I think Lei Chen will be back in Sea City this time next year. I might not join the event next year since I will probably be in the frontline at that time.¡±

    Wang Zhichao wondered how Qin Feng knew that Lei Chen was not around in Sea City. However, his mind was soon distracted by Qin Feng¡¯s second sentence. He said in an envious and sarcastic tone, ¡°Wow! Then you will surely create an unprecedented record. We have never had such a young D-tier user from the Three Cities.¡±

    The frontline is the shield of the entire human civilization. The Three Cities were considered a rtively safe zone behind it. Even so, these Three Cities were still under constant threat from ultra beasts.

    This indicated how dangerous the frontline could be.

    Every D-tier must serve at the frontline for three months. They could only opt to return to the city after that.

    Wang Zhichao was baffled by Qin Feng¡¯s confidence. He had just dered that he was going to reach D-tier by next year.

    ¡°Thanks for your encouragement.¡± Qin Feng smiled back lightly.

    Wang Zhichao did not say another word as Qin Feng entered his hover car.

    All the cargo trucks behind him were also hover-vehicles. The more than ten trucks held the materials of the entire sea beast tide. This was equivalent to ten percent of Sea City¡¯s whole asset.

    Now it all belonged to one person, Qin Feng.

    All of Sea City¡¯s executives were envious.

    ¡°Deputy Mayor, should we...¡± One of the militarymanders asked after seeing Qin Feng left.

    Wang Zhichao red back at him.

    ¡°Should we? Yeah, let¡¯s look for some random mercenaries again! Who else could defeat him other than a D-tier now?¡±

    The person hung back sheepishly.

    Yang Ping chipped in immediately, ¡°Deputy Mayor, don¡¯t be angry. Qin Feng is probably the strongest among all the E-tiers in the Three Cities now. But the stronger he gets, the more attention he would receive. I think it¡¯s best to decide what to do only after Mr. Lei is back.¡±

    ¡°Okay. Don¡¯t bother me with this name again in the future.¡± Wang Zhichao turned around and left sullenly.

    Qin Feng was not a problem Wang Zhichao could handle for the moment.

    A lot of members from the Dark Coalition did take notice of therge convoy departing from Sea City. However, not a single party dared to rob it. Some even went as far as possible, fearing that Qin Feng might misunderstand them.

    Thus, the convoy faced little hassle along the way.

    When the trucks reached Fengli, Xue Xingfu could not hold back his jolliness. Though these were technically Qin Feng¡¯s private property, the customer that it would draw was still going to bring in a lot of potential revenues.

    After all, the news about Qin Feng¡¯s heroic act in Sea City had long spread across the Three Cities.

    Qin Feng was generally regarded as the hottest aptitude user in town now.

    ¡°Why the happy face? I thought you were unwilling to let me go at first?¡± Qin Feng asked the chubby Xue Xingfu.

    ¡°Haha, am I such a short-sighted person?¡±

    Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°Now that¡¯s someme hindsight.¡±

    Xue Xingfu was not embarrassed and maintained a big smile. He reported the statistics to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Mayor, including the items in the truck, the materials that you have retrieved along the way fetched a total of thirty billion!¡±

    That was an astronomical amount.

    Xue Xingfu had no idea how Qin Feng achieved this.

    The other materials were carried back by Bai Li. It was stored in the garage and passed to Xue Xingfu by Qin Feng when he was back. Xue Xingfu thought that Qin Feng had brought along an enormous spatial equipment so he raised no doubts.

    Still, he was baffled by the quality and quantity of the materials.

    There were more than ten King-tier materials alone, though there was no ability core and power core. Nevertheless, these materials would still be worth a handsome price.

    Of course, the gain this time was still lesser than the time Qin Feng went to the ind. He had robbed from others that time and found the hidden treasures. That was why he earned more from that trip.

    ¡°Alright. I will entrust the materials to you then.¡±

    Xue Xingfu nodded and changed the topic, ¡°Mayor, I made an unauthorized decision and took in an item during your absence. I feel that it might be useful to you.¡±

    ¡°Oh? What is it?¡± Qin Feng was intrigued.

 Chapter 271 - Battlegod Token

    <h4>Chapter 271: Battlegod Token</h4>

    Xue Xingfu took out a jade token.

    The token was about the size of a palm. Its color was as dark as ink and definitely a well-refined ck jade. There was Chinese calligraphy imprinted on it.

    Wu[1]!

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were filled with excitement.

    ¡®It¡¯s a Battlegod Token!¡¯

    Xue Xingfu narrated exultantly, ¡°A giant rift appeared out of thin air outside Niumeng City two days ago. Through the rift, one can see a mountain housing great energy. There¡¯s a stone b in front of the mountain. On it was carved all sorts of ancient calligraphy. Roughly, it says that someone known as Battlegod had left behind his legacy hoping that it would be inherited by someone worthy. After that, rifts began to appear in multiple locations. This Battlegod Token is the ticket. However, there¡¯s a bunch of them, roughly five thousand being dispersed.¡±

    ¡°How much did you pay for this?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Xue Xingfu replied, ¡°Ten million.¡±

    Even Xue Xingfu had misjudged the value of this token.

    ¡°Did I spend too much?¡± Xue Xingfu asked carefully. Though the Battlegod Tomb showed a lot of promise, nobody knew what was exactly in it. Besides, since there were so many tokens distributed, Xue Xingfu was concerned that this might be a fraud.

    ¡°Not at all. Give this to Zhou Hao.¡± Qin Feng said.

    Xue Xingfu was stunned. He then asked, ¡°What about you?¡±

    ¡°Me? Well, I am going to rob it from someone, of course.¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    Xue Xingfu was almost choked by his own saliva.

    Robbing was something only those from the Dark Coalition would do. How could Qin Feng say this out loud in broad daylight?

    ¡°Please remember you are the leader of Fengli!¡± Xue Xingfu reminded him.

    Qin Feng replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I am going to rob none other than those from the Dark Coalition.¡±

    ¡°This... I bet it¡¯s not going to be easy. If ten million is not considered a lot, then I can bring in a few more. That way, we can send out more people from our colony as well. What do you think?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t bother. Even if they obtain the inheritance, they have little chance ofing back out alive.¡± Qin Feng was well aware of how dangerous the tomb could be.

    The source of danger did note from beasts but other human beings.

    There were five thousand tokens out there now. Soon, a lot of powerhouses would learn about the value of this other-wordly powerful tomb.

    Hence, not only would the value of the token be getting higher and higher in the future, the people that enter the tombter would also be stronger and stronger.

    There were two criteria to enter the tomb.

    First, the person must be aged twenty or below.

    Second, his or her inner power must be able to form a cloud, which meant that the person had to be at least an F-tier ancient warrior.

    Not that they could find another person matching the above criteria in the colony. Even if there was one, the addition of one or two persons made no difference in the face of five thousandpetitors.

    This would be a fierce contention and Qin Feng expected to see a lot of blood.

    Zhou Hao was strong enough and he could definitely survive the tomb with Xiao Huang¡¯s aid. Others might not be as lucky.

    Thus, Qin Feng decided to give this opportunity only to Zhou Hao.

    ¡°If you say so...¡± Xue Xingfu gave up on the idea.

    ¡°By the way, have you collected the beast king cores as I have requested?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°I have amassed thirty of them at the cost of twenty billion.¡± Money could buy you anything in this world. Even the precious beast king cores that were put on sale in the ck market.

    Xue Xingfu had anonymously gathered multiple cores during Qin Feng¡¯s long absence.

    ¡°Good. Bring them to me.¡±

    ¡°Noted.¡±

    Xue Xingfu had no idea what Qin Feng used the cores for but he mourned thevish spending. He did not stay for long after passing the cores to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng gave all the cores to Bai Li. He then called Zhou Hao to meet him in the hall.

    Zhou Hao had been training intensively recently and his strength had increased rapidly. Currently, he was an F4-tier aptitude user.

    Though his improvement was not as rapid as Qin Feng, he was still evolving at an unbelievable rate. This was all thanks to the Golden Queen Ant.

    ¡°Take this and depart to Niumeng immediately. But don¡¯t enter the city first,¡± Qin Feng instructed him about the Battlegod Tomb.

    ¡°How about you? You fit the criteria as well. Why don¡¯t you go by yourself? Judging by your power now, you could get the inheritance with ease. I don¡¯t need you to make way for me,¡± Zhou Hao said.

    Qin Feng stopped Zhou Hao¡¯s hand that was about to reject the token and exined, ¡°I will get my own token. But I am probably going to join with a hidden identity.¡±

    Zhou Hao, who was puzzled, asked, ¡°Why a hidden identity?¡±

    ¡°Xiao Bai is going to follow me. But she wouldn¡¯t get past the entrance in human form. Besides, I should not be going there with my current status as a mayor. Besides, thepetition would be tough this time. If I am to kill those influential people in there, things would turn real chaotic.¡±

    Zhou Hao was baffled. ¡°Influential people?¡±

    ¡°Yeah. Such as descendants of various famous families, or even people from Dragon City!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    Zhou Hao finally understood what Qin Feng meant. ¡°I get it now. Please be careful out there.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. When you see me, just pretend that we are strangers,¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Noted!¡±

    Zhou Hao left with the Battlegod Token after they were done talking.

    Niumeng was rather far from Fengli. It would take days to reach so one would need to depart earlier.

    However, Qin Feng did not move.

    Not only that but a lot of people had seen Qin Feng inspecting Fengli¡¯s ongoing development.

    From Wanzong¡¯s branch, the underground market, to the establishment of the orphanage and defense system, Qin Feng had gone through each of them.

    His final inspection was the factory, where Liu Zhenshan was in charge.

    After relocating to Fengli from Han Town, Liu Zhenshan had been working behind the scenes all this while. This was because Qin Feng was simply too capable and had brought home numerous materials all the time. If they were to rely on others to process the materials or just sell the raw materials, it would assuredly not bring the biggest profit to Fengli.

    As such, Liu Zhenshan was elected the head of research and development. They set up a factory and focused on how to produce equipment from raw materials.

    Self-sustenance was their ultimate aim. Qin Feng did not want other powers to hold onto industries essential to Fengli.

    As the materials brought back by Qin Feng were usually of good quality, most equipment forged by Liu Zhenshan was E-tier.

    He was confused by Qin Feng¡¯s order a few days ago but he had finished the task without any questions asked.

    Inside the office, there were only Liu Zhenshan, Qin Feng, and Bai Li. The workers did not suspect a thing.

    ¡°Mayor, I have forged the items as you have requested.¡±

    As he spoke, Liu Zhenshan brought out a case and opened it.

    In thereid a silver battle suit, a pair of daggers, and a white mask.

    ¡°These are all made with F-tier beast king materials. The oue is better than expected. There¡¯s this cape which is made from Darknight Bat. I purposely removed the glow on it so the user could blend in with the darkness.¡±

    ¡°These two daggers are made from the F7-tier beast king ck Mantis¡¯s des.¡±

    ¡°This mask is made from a special material that could block out consciousness and is anti-venom. It also boosts the wearer¡¯s senses!¡±

    Liu Zhenshan introduced the equipment one by one.

    [1] The chinese word is Îä (Wu), which carries a lot of meaning such as wushu (ÎäÊõ, martial art), kungfu (Îä¹¦ / ¹¦·ò) or battle (Îä¶·). The tomb belongs to ÎäÉñ, which is directly tranted as God of Wu. In this context, Battlegod is used instead of God of Wu as it would be more intuitive to English readers.

 Chapter 272 - Spatial Passage

    <h4>Chapter 272: Spatial Passage</h4>

    The set of equipment had been previously made by Liu Zhenshan under Qin Feng¡¯s instructions. Not only that, the boots even contained everything he would need and were five centimeters higher.

    Such an outfit was obviously meant for moving around cloak and dagger so he could hide his identity!

    ¡°Test it to see if it works!¡±

    ¡°Well done, this is very well done Uncle Liu, but you need to keep this secret!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t say anything!¡± Liu Zhenshan did not even ask what Qin Feng wanted to do with them.

    Qin Feng put the equipment inside his spatial rune equipment and swaggered around the factory as he toured the interior.

    There was only a few days left before the Battlegod Tomb would open; even if he could fly he would not reach in time.

    Xue Xingfu had his doubts but he kept his thoughts to himself.

    That night, the moment Qin Feng put on thatbat uniform and put on a mask. It was as if he had turned into an entirely different person.

    After he had gained the Magical Tesseract, Qin Feng no longer needed thebat uniforms that Liu Zhenshan could provide but the tesseract did not retain the silver glow from man-made objects.

    Normally, it would be easy to recognize Qin Feng but now it was actually even easier!

    ¡°Xiao Bai, I¡¯m afraid this is going to be inconvenient for you!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°No worries! In fact I can maintain whatever form I want!¡± Bai Li was originally a beast-type, maintaining a body shape was something she could easily do.

    However, she felt that it was easier to be around Qin Feng in her human form. After all, the human shape could be adorned with plenty of beautiful clothes so Bai Li was quite reluctant about the idea. However, she also knew that Qin Feng was going to go on a bloody rampage inside the Battlegod Tomb and she could not be exposed, the best way was that she maintained her ultra beast form.

    Of course, she did not need to do it immediately.

    ¡°I¡¯m about to start!¡± Bai Li said.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Begin!¡±

    It was already toote to go to Niumeng City by car, but Qin Feng had an even better idea.

    Naturally, that would be spatial transmission. Bai Li¡¯s spatial transmission could be used so long as there was a spatial waymark, allowing back and forth travel being two distances with no problems.

    However, she had mild difficulty for ces she had not been to, because she could not pinpoint the location. Even when Qin Feng had provided a token, there would still be some issues.

    Bai Li raised her fingers and her palms began to glow with a silver light, something he had seen before while on that Drakocroc Ind.

    The silver light lingered in the air before rotating and expanding into a spatial passage. The disc was about two meters tall and had a dark void forming inside it.

    Once the void connection was formed, the spatial waymark was established.

    ¡°Lets go!¡± Bai Li grabbed Qin Feng¡¯s hand and immediately jumped into the spatial passage.

    Even if it was just for a moment, it still felt like an eternity. When Qin Feng¡¯s vision returned, he found himself floating in mid air.

    There was no footing to be found beneath him either.

    It was a good thing that he had already prepared himself, pushing a button to unfurl the glider wings on his back

    Swish!

    When the glider wings opened up behind him, he pulled Bai Li closer and put an arm around her slender waist as the two slowly glided toward the ground.

    Fortunately, they had appeared about twenty meters above ground and quicklynded. There was a brief chance that they would have actually appeared closer to the ground, which would have promptly caused a miserablending.

    Once they found solid ground, Qin Feng retracted the gliding wings and at the same time, put on the cloak that Liu Zhenshan had given his outfit. Bai Li also began to undergo transformation.

    Her body gradually began to shift as her clothes dissipated and were automatically stored in her space, the silver light shrouding her, ensuring her modesty as her silhouette suddenly grew to up to two stories tall in the blink of an eye.

    She was about five meters long with a body covered in snow white fur that appeared cloak-like under the moonlight. Her eyes bore a silver glint and had long eyshes. Behind her were three fluffy and soft-looking tails, moving with flexibility through the air which seemed quitefortable.

    At this point, Qin Feng had to look up to see Bai Li¡¯s face. Who was to say that Bai Li was just a child, she was all grown up!

    The fox held her head high in the moonlight, bearing a prideful and beautiful visage.

    Soon, she began to rapidly shrink and in the blink of an eye she had shrunk into a size where she was about the size of both Qin Feng¡¯s palms with her three fluffy tails half the size of her body. Now she looked small and adorable!

    Bai Li hopped onto Qin Feng with an energetic bounce. ¡°Lets go!¡±

    Qin Feng gave her a pat on the head before taking out hismunicator and synchronizing his location. He was only about three hours away from Niumeng City, near a small colony near Hanchuankou. At this rate, it seemed that he was going to reach the city before Zhou Hao.

    That was where Qin Feng wanted to go. In his previous life, when the news of the tomb surfaced, ancient warriors came from all directions. There were even some ancient warrior families that had sent their young ones over.

    Among the ancient warriors, they all had their own distinguishing capabilities, but there was an ancient warrior that practiced a blood-based martial method passing through Hanchuankou.

    Nowadays, people called them dark ancient warriors.

    Qin Feng did note here to do good deeds, he came to kill people and collect loot. The person he wanted to kill was the child of this family of ancient warriors, Xue Yuan!

    The *Xue family was without a doubt a well-known family among ancient warriors! This name was not a standard family name, but instead it came from a title given after the end times. After generations of using this title, they naturally adopted the name as their family name.

    The ancient warrior family was powerful enough to bepared to the organizations, in fact they were quite effective businesspeople.

    Killing their heir was just asking for trouble, that was why Qin Feng had to hide his identity. He wanted to kill more than just that one!

    Whoever wanted to gain the inheritance from the Battlegod¡¯s Tomb would be met with hostility. They were all enemies!

    Qin Feng quickly took advantage of the night and approached Hanchuankou.

    The city gate was already closed. When Qin Feng arrived, the guard on his night shift quickly locked onto the mysterious shape d in a dark cloak but did not dare stop him. When he caught a glimpse of silver under that cloak, he swallowed hard.

    Creak!

    A small door near the side of the city gate opened up!

    ¡°Sir, this way please, please!¡± The guard quickly got out of the way after that.

    ¡°Hmm,¡± Qin Feng deliberately lowered the pitch of his voice when he responded and walked into the colony.

    The colony of Hanchuankou was not very big, cramped but well-equipped. In fact, it was like Chengbei in a lot of ways.

    He eventually found the most luxurious hotel to stay in and only came out when it was noon the very next day.

    ¡°Beep beep!¡±

    An emergency signal rang out from Qin Feng¡¯smunicator. It was the regional news.

    ¡°Attention all aptitude users, a beast wave is urring 20km away from Hanchuankou¡¯s north wall. Pleasee and provide your support at the front. This is an emergency battle and there will be merit rewards. Hurry to the colony bus to be taken to the battle site.¡±

    Spring was the peak of small-scale beast waves, they were not like sea beast tides, these things happened everywhere.

    Qin Feng did not think too much about it and rushed to the departure area.

    *Trantor¡¯s Note: The character has the Chinese word for ¡®blood¡¯ (Ñª) in their name, not to be confused with a simr sounding word which means ¡®snow¡¯ (Ñ©)

 Chapter 273 - Xue Yuan

    <h4>Chapter 273: Xue Yuan</h4>

    The moment Qin Feng stepped onto the bus, the screen on it began to provide updates, greeting people with scenes that were being captured by drones.

    The range of this beast wave was not that wide, it mostly consisted of G-tier ultra beasts. After all, this was a safe colony and the level of ultra beasts nearby was not usually very high. However, there was a beast king among thatrge number of ultra beasts.

    That was why there was an emergency broadcast for all the capable aptitude users in the colony. The F-tier aptitude users who heard this that felt like they had the power to do something decided to participate in a heartbeat.

    A beast king. How rare of a sight!

    The bus was not even full yet, there were only a few dozen passengers, but the driver could not wait any longer! He put the pedal to the metal, speeding down the street to the point where the partols had to block the roads so that the bus could pass.

    In less than fifteen minutes, they had already left Hanchuankou and were wildly driving into the wilderness. In about ten minutes, the passengers heard gunshots from the aptitude users that were fighting back as they retreated.

    By now, the ultra beasts had made it close to the agricultural zone. There were small defensive outposts near the area that could be bolstered.

    Qin Feng and the rest quickly got off the bus and saw just what they were up against.

    ¡°It¡¯s a wolf pack!¡±

    ¡°Pale Wolf beast general, that white one, that white one must be the beast king!¡±

    ¡°Holy shit!¡±

    ¡°Are there any F-tier that can block that?¡±

    The people briefly argued noisily amongst themselves but they were quick to join the battle. They were afraid of how dense the wolf pack was but they could not back out now, also going with the tactical retreat.

    Soon, F-tier aptitude users arrived and it was not just one of them.

    There were two of them that came in on patrol cars, they were dressed in special patrol uniforms of the Hanchuankou colony. They were obviously squad leaders!

    ¡°Leave the beast king to us, you lot handle the rest!¡± One of the squad leadersmanded while raising a hand and shot out a beam of light.

    It was purple!

    He appeared to be an electric ability user. The beam of lightning rushed out to meet the Pale Wolf King in the blink of an eye.

    Whoosh!

    The figure of the Pale Wolf King dodged away from the attack, but the other ultra beasts that did not move as quickly dropped to the ground from the electrical attack.

    ¡°Hurry up and help me deal with this a*shole!¡± The electric ability user called out.

    ¡°Leave it to me!¡± Another person said, rushing forward and plowing through the G-tier wolves that were no match against him.

    F6-tier ancient warrior.

    These G-tier ultra beasts were too easy to kill.

    Moving quickly, the ancient warrior mmed a palm into the beast king, intercepting his opponent¡¯s attack on the ability user who continued to unleash his power at the ultra beast.

    The battle was fought in a dazzling manner.

    Qin Feng did not want to intervene, if he did anything he would have been exposed as a D-tier aptitude user.

    Fortunately, he did not need to wait too long. Another bus had arrived to drop off its passenger.

    A young man with fiery red hair jumped right out of the vehicle. From the first nce, he did not look any younger than seventeen years old and wore an F5-tier aptitude user badge on his chest.

    It was Xue Yuan!

    Qin Feng was not too far away from him. At this time, the other party had just gotten out of their bus, his eyes lighting up at the sight of the beast king.

    ¡°Now that¡¯s quite the prize!¡± He said to himself, rushing forward into the fray.

    Xue Yuan¡¯s F7 martial prowess was obviously powerful.

    ¡°Sanguine Arts!¡±

    Xue Yuan raised his hand before mming his palm into the Pale Wolf¡¯s back. There was no crack that came from the Pale Wolf King¡¯s spine being broken, instead the attack left behind a bloody handprint where itnded.

    Then the Pale Wolf King¡¯s waist began to droop, as if it had no bones to support it there.

    This was the power of the Sanguine Palm.

    ¡°Awooo!¡± The Pale Wolf King let out a pained howl.

    Xue Yuan raised his hand again, mming his palm directly onto the top of the beast king¡¯s head.

    Crack!

    The bloody palm was extremely powerful. One moment, a blood-red palm print appeared, and in the next, the Pale Wolf King was dead on the ground bleeding from its eyes and nose as its aura disappeared.

    The Pale Wolf King had been in.

    The ability user and the ancient warrior from the patrol team were quite shocked when they saw this, looking at Xue Yuan with a trace of awe.

    ¡°Thanks for your help, bro!¡± The ancient warrior said with a smile.

    Xue Yuan ignored the man, reaching out with a hand like no one else¡¯s into the Pale Wolf King¡¯s chest cavity. As the hand pierced into the flesh, it made a mess and coated the arm in ayer of blood.

    Soon, the Pale Wolf King¡¯s energy crystal core was ripped out and ced into his spatial rune equipment.

    That made the patrol team members stop in their tracks.

    ¡°Bro, we spent a long time fighting that Pale Wolf King. You killed it in the end, but shouldn¡¯t we be splitting the spoils? Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a bit rude to be behaving like this?¡±

    Xue Yuan revealed a dagger in his hand that was shaped simr to that of a scalpel, designed to harvest materials.

    He red at the ancient warrior before smirking. ¡°You¡¯re both trash and you want me to share the spoils with you?¡±

    The man starred furiously at Xue Yuan.

    ¡°What did you say, kid?¡± The man was a rank higher than Xue Yuan and believed that Xue Yuan was about as young as he looked. That did not stop him from having the desire to teach the little punk a lesson.

    ¡°Do you know whose territory this is? You can¡¯t just do whatever you want here, be sensible and take those out before you humiliate yourself, bro!¡±

    ¡°Humiliate myself?¡± Xue Yuan chuckled, striking his hand out.

    The attack was quite straightforward and not very fast.

    The ancient warrior saw this and was a little bit nervous, he had seen what that palm could do and knew that Xue Yuan was tough but he did not want to admit it!

    With his internal strength condensed in his palm, he fiercely struck out!

    p!

    Their palms collided. The smirk lingered on Xue Yuan¡¯s face, and the strangest thing was that his eyes began to turn blood-red.

    The ancient warrior suddenly let out a scream.

    His entire palm, including his bones, had melted. His meridians had been scoured and the flesh now a bloody pulp. In the blink of an eye, his hand had melted into a stump.

    Even though he had destroyed his opponent¡¯s hand, Xue Yuan did not n on sparing him so easily.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t get to practice some blood sucking today, good thing there¡¯s plenty of people here soe at me!¡±

    Xue Yuan once more raised his hand, bringing it down toward the top of the ancient warrior¡¯s skull.

    It was at this moment that another figure suddenly appeared.

    A ck cloak, under the cloak was abat uniform that glowed with silver light, and even a fleeting nce made it known that it was made out of beast king materials.

    A pair of ck daggers jumped out from under the cloak and cut at Xue Yuan¡¯s neck.

    This person was Qin Feng!

    ¡°Ah!¡± Xue Yuan croaked but quickly changed his stance as a blood-red light condensed in his hand and shot out toward Qin Feng.

    However, the condensed internal force st was blocked by a wave of internal power. Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was huge, how could he have been hit by the other¡¯s blood colored internal force.

    Not giving the other another chance to fight back, Qin Feng relied on his tough physique and speed to pierce through Xue Yuan¡¯s chest with a dagger.

    ¡°Pff!¡±

    A soft sound was heard as Xue Yuan stopped moving, he looked down at the dagger that was stuck inside his chest with disbelief.

    It hit something vital, there was no doubt that he was going to die!

 Chapter 274 - A Generation of Monsters Damned to Die In the Wilderness

    <h4>Chapter 274: A Generation of Monsters Damned to Die In the Wilderness</h4>

    Xue Yuan could hardly believe it.

    He was his family¡¯s most talented user, and had alreadyid a foundation even before he awakened his ancient martial arts. He could kill people when he was ten, and by the time he was neen he had already mastered the Sanguine Arts and even the Sanguine Palm. He did not expect that he would die. Especially not today, not at the hands of some unknown person in a weak little colony.

    Xue Yuan¡¯s eyes carried a loathing stare.

    ¡°Who, Who are... ngh...¡± Blood began to pour out of his mouth. When he grabbed Qin Feng¡¯s wrist, he was unable to muster any internal force.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng absorbed all of Xue Yuan¡¯s internal force. Although there was not much in an F-tier aptitude user, it was better than nothing and could not be wasted.

    By then, Xue Yuan hadpletely lost the capability to fight back.

    ¡°You want to know who I am? How could you remember your enemy after killing so many people?¡± Qin Feng replied in a hoarse voice. In his mind, he was starting to recall a memory before his rebirth.

    Back then, Qin Feng had reached the age of neen and it was the third year since he had been injected by the Awakening Serum. After a lot of battles, he traveled extensively and eventually reached E-tier.

    It could be said that he had already left the shadow of thatboratory by that time, having gained a few close friends who had even agreed to reach D-tier and go to the front together.

    As a result, they encountered Xue Yuan during a logistical escort mission and it ended up with the entire toon of three hundred people, people who he had fought alongside with, to all die tragically!

    Qin Feng too was hit square in the chest by that palm attack, the only thing he could have done then was breathe.

    Too many people died during that battle, and even with one tenth of the absorption ability remaining, the number of deaths around him managed to preserve his life, saving him from death.

    Bearing the loss of three hundred people he used to know almost broke him.

    Xue Yuan, that was a name in his turbulent life that he would never forget. A name that he wanted to set ame and grind to dust.

    He had no way of revenge before his rebirth.

    Xue Yuan advanced too quickly, by the time Qin Feng reached A-tier, Xue Yuan was also A-tier and always stronger than him. Just like Liu Meng with his Asteroid Assimtion, he was a heinous devil.

    If the two really fought, it would be Qin Feng who would wind up dead.

    Now, it waspletely different!

    Xue Yuan had not risen yet, and as for the rest of the Xue Family, Qin Feng was not afraid of them!

    Today was the day that he turned things around. His eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty, murderous intent but it was covered up by his mask, making it impossible to distinguish his emotions.

    Soon after, Xue Yuan had all of his internal force taken away, and with his heart pierced, the hand that was gripping Qin Feng¡¯s wrist finally fell.

    Qin Feng drew out the dagger along with a spurt of blood.

    Xue Yuan¡¯s body copsed to the ground after no longer having support. This all happened within a short span of time.

    Nobody could react at all.

    At this moment, a loud shout came through. ¡°Cease!¡±

    Near the beast wave, a giant tree branch was knocked down and the suppressing aura of an E-tier ancient warrior began to roll over the entire field.

    It was not just the aptitude users but the entire beast wave of Pale Wolves began to flee with their tails between their legs.

    The beast king was dead, the smaller wolves could not maintain their rank and file, and they began to break apart but nobody cheered at this scene.

    All because of the ancient warrior that had suddenly appeared!

    E-tier.

    For the aptitude users of Hanchuankou, that was the level of generals and mayors. Such presence always left people in awe.

    Now, this person was angry, would it not mean that more blood would stain the ground?

    The ancient warrior rushed forward with incredible speed, closing the distance within four to five seconds.

    ¡°Young Master!¡±

    The man cradled Xue Yuan, eyes widening at the realization that the wound in his chest would not stop bleeding and that his aura had disappeared.

    He was dead!

    Even if there was any sort of divine intervention there was no way to save him!

    ¡°You!¡± The man lifted his head, staring daggers at Qin Feng.

    The people around them finally saw this man¡¯s face. He looked to be in his fifties, had the strength of an E5-tier ancient warrior, and had a sinister expression on his face that was only emphasized by the scar that traveled down from his cheek to his neck!

    This person¡¯s appearance made the onlookers stare nkly for a moment.

    ¡°Beep beep beep!¡±

    Those nearby did a scan with theirmunicators and soon found out who they were looking at!

    ¡°He¡¯s ackey from the Xue family!¡±

    ¡°The Asura Palm, Zhang Wen!¡±

    ¡°A wanted E-tier criminal!¡±

    Everyone was suddenly more afraid, which was crippling under the effects of this menacing aura. A few began to slowly back away with difficulty and some even wanted to crawl away.

    Zhang Wen was definitely someone who would kill a man without so much as batting an eye. What was more, the man had just called the recently deceased ¡®Young Master¡¯, which made them change their view on things.

    ¡°The dead guy¡¯s from the Xue family!¡±

    ¡°Wait, the Xue family¡¯s young master died near us?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s gonna kill us, isn¡¯t he?¡±

    That was very possible. Those with dark influences, even when they had only lost one member, would go out on rampages to eradicate whole families and wipe out entire bases just to get revenge.

    Those in the field were no match against Zhang Wen. They red at Qin Feng¡¯s back, all ming this stranger for being the cause of their troubles.

    ¡°Lad, you¡¯re going to die today. No, I¡¯m not just going to kill you, I¡¯m going to make you beg me to put you down!¡± Zhang Wen roared. He was in charge of bringing the young master to the Tomb and because he was wanted as a criminal he could not be near Xue Yuan.

    Not only that, Xue Yuan had enough strength that even an F9-tier aptitude user could not face him, but this random stranger had just appeared out of nowhere and killed him with a simple dagger stab.

    If he did not capture Qin Feng, he was going to have a hard time exining this to his bosses. No, even if he did capture Qin Feng, he was still going to get in trouble! This made Zhang Wen hate Qin Feng even more, he wanted to tear this person into pieces!

    ¡°Me, die? It won¡¯t necessarily be me who¡¯s dying today. Since you¡¯re on the side of an evil-doer, you must not be a good person. If that¡¯s the case you¡¯ll die too!¡± Qin Feng said, suddenly approaching as dark runes began to envelop him.

    ¡°Phantom Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng shifted, afterimages appearing where he once stood. He was like a ghost, briefly revealing his murderous intent as he rushed toward Zhang Wen.

    ¡°You got guts!¡± Zhang Wen was furious, raising his hand to try and p Qin Feng. ¡°Sanguine Palm!¡±

    While Zhang Wen was only a servant of the Xue family and the moves that he was taught were not as powerful as Xue Yuan¡¯s moves, he had a powerful internal force and his Sanguine Palm brought with it a gust of bloody rain.

    There were countless souls that had been bloodied by his hands. The giant palm print began to approach Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not face it head on, choosing to avoid it. He was extra nimble with Phantom Motion Steps activated. He did not want to use the move before because he was afraid that people might notice the dark runes, but now he did not care, his body was almost entirely shrouded in ck mist.

    His movements were very familiar to the eyes but nobody would suspect that he was the illustrious mayor of Fengli, after all, the Spectre Motion Steps was a verymon move among ancient warriors.

    Since he used those moves so well, it seemed quite out of the ordinary. With a stagger, he had already nked Zhang Wen before bringing his daggers toward his opponent¡¯s waist at an awkward angle.

    Too fast!

    Zhang Wen was surprised! He would have definitely been stabbed at such speed but he steeled himself, preparing to take the blow from Qin Feng.

    He swung his hand, wanting to trade a blow for a blow!

 Chapter 275 - Disposing Corpses

    <h4>Chapter 275: Disposing Corpses</h4>

    In Zhang Wen¡¯s eyes, since Qin Feng had killed Xue Yuan, he probably was not that strong. After all, the people who were strong usually found it disdainful to kill someone lower-level than they were, and even if they were strong, they were not Zhang Wen¡¯s match.

    He knew all the E-tier aptitude users in the Four Cities of the North Seas, and it was impossible for a strong user who was using the Spectre Motion Steps to have made an appearance.

    After such an analysis, Zhang Wen subconsciously felt that Qin Feng did not have any power. Maybe that internal force in those daggers would not be able to pierce through his defense!

    Zhang Wen ferociously struck out another palm attack, trying to hit Qin Feng with it.

    Only to have it blocked by Qin Feng¡¯s raised arm.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    The dagger in his right hand managed to pierce Zhang Wen¡¯s waist, not only that, the left arm that had blocked his attack came toward him in a vicious strike.

    Zhang Wen¡¯s eyes widened, stiffening his legs and leaning back as far as he could in order to avoid the blow.[1]

    Otherwise, that hit would have shed through his throat!

    He did not expect his opponent to be so fierce!

    Not only that, his waist was not as invincible as he had thought. The E-tier purple armor was damaged, a powerful internal force was wrapped around the dagger as it was violently jammed into him.

    Serious damage!

    ¡°Huh?¡± Zhang Wen uttered before rapidly backing away.

    However, his retreat opened up arge wound. If it were not for the function of the rune equipment and his protectiveyer, Zhang Wen would have been split open and his intestines would be spilling out.

    His internal force worked quickly to cover the wound as he pulled out a packet of medicine to apply on his injury.

    Zhang Wen had a look of uncertainty on his face, staring at Qin Feng with suspicion and anger.

    ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s power was beyond his expectations. The time he struck Qin Feng with his Sanguine Palm, he felt the vibration of his opponent¡¯s internal force barrier.

    This trick had no effect on Qin Feng!

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter who I am,¡± Qin Feng said indifferently, he knew that Zhang Wen had clearly seen the strength of his inner force!

    Then again, why would that matter?

    ¡°Because you¡¯re going to die today!¡±

    Qin Feng was not the type to gloat or exin himself, lest the other party dies with their question answered. It was best if they died entirely in the dark!

    He did not speak any more and once again activated his Phantom Motion Steps. This time there was heavy use of dark runes as Qin Feng¡¯s form split into countless shadows, his actual form unable to be picked out from among them.

    This attack was also very fast! Zhang Wen tried to use his hands to defend against Qin Feng¡¯s assault but his efforts were fruitless.

    Swish!

    Swish swish swish!

    Wounds appeared on Zhang Wen¡¯s body, his protective inner armor having been broken. It seemed that its defensive force did little to block Qin Feng¡¯s daggers.

    Although Qin Feng was wearing F-tier gear to cover up his identity, his daggers were E-tier king grade.

    No matter how good Zhang Wen¡¯s treatment was in the Xue household, he would still have never gotten the chance to use rune equipment made out of E-tier beast king materials.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to make me suffer before? How do you like this now?¡± Qin Feng said, remembering the aftermath of the escort caravan after Xue Yuan¡¯s rampage.

    His opponent struck a palm out, but instead of killing him, Qin Feng drew more blood in order to diminish his opponent¡¯s power!

    Qin Feng¡¯s pupils began to turn blood-red.

    ¡°Aaah!!!¡± Zhang Wen screamed, surging all of his internal force as if trying to repel Qin Feng, but all was in vain.

    At this point, Qin Feng felt something move around in front of his chest. He then realized it was Bai Li. She was still nestled in a pocket, Zhang Wen¡¯s screams might awaken her!

    That snapped him back to his senses. With this kind of torture, even his mentality had changed.

    He did not continue, nting a palm on Zhang Wen¡¯s abdomen.

    ¡°Activate, Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    The vigorous internal force was immediately drawn away, Zhang Wen could not react at all this time. He had been hit and was involuntarily twitching all over as his internal force left him like water from a broken dam. If this continued on, even without Qin Feng doing anything else, he would still surely die!

    However, Qin Feng did not bother waiting, bringing the daggers down on Zhang Wen¡¯s head without hesitation.

    Swish!

    The head bounced up into the air for a moment before falling down onto the ground.

    Zhang Wen had been in!

    An E-tier aptitude user, having been so easily killed, shocked the aptitude users who had not run away.

    They were deadly quiet, afraid to make a sound.

    Qin Feng went on without stopping, picking up spatial rune equipment from Zhang Wen¡¯s body. He used his consciousness to sweep through it but it was just some items like an expanded edition of martial arts studies and some powdered medicine. He casually stuffed that into the rune equipment in his pocket and picked up Zhang Wen¡¯s head!

    This head was also worth 300 million!

    After that, he went to search Xue Yuan¡¯s body and found his spatial rune equipment. After a quick check with his consciousness, he found what he wanted!

    A Battlegod token!

    Of course there were also many spirit herbs, ancient martial arts manuals, ultra beast materials and so on.

    Xue Yuan was much richer than Zhang Wen was. Qin Feng did not hesitate and pocketed that as well before starting to leave.

    The ancient warrior from the patrol team came over, hurriedly shouting, ¡°Sir. This...This...¡±

    He could not find any words. That was what fear looked like!

    Qin Feng deliberately replied in a baritone voice, ¡°What? You want some beast king materials?¡±

    The man¡¯s face twitched, and he quickly said, ¡°Sir, how could you still be thinking that at a time like this? Do you know who they were?¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°If I didn¡¯t know, I wouldn¡¯t have killed them.¡±

    The man was speechless, but that left his mouth full of bitterness!

    Qin Feng knew, and even though he knew he still went on and killed his opponent. That was a lot of gall.

    Of course, the power that he had was something they did not!

    ¡°Sir, the Xue family is an infamous dark ancient warrior family within the Four Cities. We can¡¯t afford this kind of trouble!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for me, you¡¯d be dead. Are you saying that I shouldn¡¯t be nosy, that I shouldn¡¯t have tried to help you?¡±

    The patrolman trembled, unwilling to say anything else. The electric ability user from before stepped up, respectfully speaking to Qin Feng. ¡°Sir, the events today have been settled conclusively, please protect us for a while. We... we don¡¯t want to die!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately refused. ¡°I don¡¯t have that obligation. If you value your lives then you¡¯ll pretend this never happened.¡±

    He grabbed Xue Yuan and Zhang Wen¡¯s bodies and tossed them into the distance. There were still a few Pale Wolves that had not fled, and they saw food appear out of thin air, blood freshly flowing from their wounds. They exposed their fangs and rushed forward to tear into them.

    Within a few minutes, the two bodies were eaten by the wolves and there was nothing left!

    [1] This is roughly tranted from a martial arts move called Ìú°åÇÅ, which means ¡®Iron Bridge¡¯ as the user needs to stabilize himself before doing the move that involves straightening his back. Think that bullet time scene from the Matrix for a proper visual

 Chapter 276 - Bloodhunter

    <h4>Chapter 276: Bloodhunter</h4>

    It was said that whatever a person did no longer mattered after their passing, as such further harm should not be done to the body. Unexpectedly, Qin Feng decided to literally throw Xue Yuan and Zhang Wen¡¯s bodies to the wolves. There was not even a body left to bury.

    The onlookers were taken aback, fearing Qin Feng even more. They believed that he was not a good person either, maybe he was also a wanted criminal and what they saw was a viin dealing with another.

    The two from the patrol team did not have anything else to say!

    Qin Feng decided to ignore them. These people died in the hands of Xue Yuan before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth.

    Now, he had changed their destiny. That was the greatest gift he could have given them so he did not think that he owed them anything. As for whether or not they would be implicated by the Xue family¡¯s rage, he would think not. After all, he nned to provoke the Xue family into a greater rage!

    After he threw away the corpses, he took the vehicle that helped the wounded back to Hanchuankou colony.

    Among the wounded in the vehicle was the F-tier ancient warrior who got his hand dissolved into a bloody sludge, he did not dare say anything.

    When he arrived at Hanchuankou, Qin Feng searched for the bounty hunter¡¯s hall with hismunicator and got off the vehicle when he was nearby.

    Those within the hall watched him vigntly as he entered, to them he had a strange figure.

    ¡°Sir, how may we help you?¡± The staff member at the counter asked.

    ¡°Submitting a wanted person.¡±

    Qin Feng threw Zhang Wen¡¯s head onto the counter.

    The person did not ask many questions and immediately scanned the head for information before being taken aback by surprise.

    Zhang Wen! Such a person was killed?

    The death did not mean anything, although it was surprising enough. Just like the uproar that Qin Feng caused when he turned in She-Wolf.

    As for Zhang Wen¡¯s origin, that had caused a few headaches! This was one of the Xue family¡¯s people!

    Before you hit the dog you need to know who their master was first! There were consequences to these actions!

    The staff member swallowed hard.

    ¡°Hurry up. I want the money!¡± Qin Feng urged in a horse voice.

    ¡°Yes, yes Sir. Please provide yourmunication number and bounty hunter status!¡±

    Qin Feng provided his number, but his identity was nk and he had not registered.

    ¡°Sir, would you like to register as a hunter in our bounty hunterwork? Please enter your hunter name and strength and we will automatically create a file for you!¡±

    Qin Feng said in his baritone, ¡°Call me Bloodhunter!¡±

    Bloodhunter, someone who hunts down those from the Xue family!*

    That kind of name was way too specific!

    The staff member did not dare make anyments and the direct application was approved. At the same time, Zhang Wen¡¯s 300 million bounty was directly transferred to Qin Feng¡¯s newmunication number.

    On the Bounty Hunter Network, Zhang Wen¡¯s number was now marked as plete¡¯ and the person whopleted this was naturally Qin Feng¡¯s new name, ¡®Bloodhunter¡¯.

    Not only that, thework could be used tomunicate with other bounty hunters and powerful hunters could ept assigned tasks so long as they could ept the price and provide urate information.

    That was why thework¡¯s site had an interactive tform that allowed it to broadcast news.

    Qin Feng immediately uploaded a picture of Zhang Wen¡¯s head and sent out a small paragraph of text.

    ¡°Zhang Wen? How so?!¡±

    He smiled coldly under his mask and left the bounty hunter hall. He then went to thergest car exhibition in Hanchuankou and happily looked at the disys.

    ***

    Meanwhile, on the west side of Niumeng City, among the rolling hills,id an elegant looking vige.

    Those that did not know the truth would have thought it was paradise. It was actually the Xue family¡¯s home base.

    It had an out-of-time quality to it, as if it had captured the essence of the world thousands of years ago and preserved it there. With blue bricks and ck tiles, all the houses were built close to the ground with jade carvingsid upon them as beautiful decorations.

    While the exterior¡¯s aesthetic was antique, the interior was very luxurious and there were electronic products left and right.

    Around this time, everyone in the Xue household¡¯smunicators shed blood-red as a beeping sound was heard.

    Their faces fell when they looked at theirmunicators.

    ¡°The son of the seventh generation, Xue Yuan, has been in!¡±

    ¡°Attendant, Zhang Wen, has been in!¡±

    Everyone was shocked by the news. This message was naturally based on the pulse of Xue Yuan¡¯s hand that wore themunicator. If themunicator was lost or damaged, it would be impossible to send this message.

    This would have only been sent if he really did lose his life.

    Xue Yuan¡¯s father was the first one to go mad.

    ¡°How is this possible? Xiao Yuan was only gone for two days, how could he have died? This must be a malfunction! And Zhang Wen, where is he? Piece of trash!¡±

    Xue Linhan roared.

    The Xue family was an ancient martial arts family, and perhaps it could be considered to be in itste degenerate stage as it could no longer live in seclusion.

    But they were definitely part of the top ones among the Four Cities of the North Sea. The families in Chengyang might seem very bullish or overbearing, but whenpared to the Xue family they might as well be on their knees!

    The old patriarch of the Xue family was still on his retreat and was a C-tier ancient warrior. Now, the acting patriarch was a D-tier ancient warrior and one of the Xue family¡¯s elders. The other elders were also D-tier as well, having exactly seven of them.

    Seven D-tiers, there were not that many in the Three Cities along the Sun and this was just a small family, which showed how powerful the family was!

    Of course, Xue Linhan was not an elder and was of the sixth generation. He was still strong but the family¡¯s resources were inclined toward the younger generation and a person¡¯s aptitude was limited. Once you have reached middle age, it was harder to go forward.

    Especially for ancient warriors!

    Some people would never touch the edge of D-tier for an entire lifetime.

    Xue Linhan was at E8-tier, and it would take him about five to six years before he could reach D-tier! However, what made him proud was his genius son.

    Someone with natural talent, and would soon surpass him. Who could have known that a trip to the Battlegod Tomb, along with a bodyguard no less, would have ended up in such a tragedy?

    ¡°Thirteenth Elder, please don¡¯t get angry!¡±

    A servant looked at Xue Linhan¡¯s fit of anger and was worried that the man would get so enraged that he would just go insane. How would Xue Linhan have listened to something like that?

    ¡°My son is gone. My son is gone, and you want me to not get angry? Leave!¡± Xue Linhan proceeded to backhand the servant across the cheek.

    The force of an E-tier ancient warrior cracking a blow was enough to make the servant¡¯s neck make a crunching sound as it broke, sending the body tumbling into the wall. Nobody was sure if the person died on impact or before.

    ¡°Aaaah!¡± Xue Linhan flipped his table soon after.

    The other servants were scared for their lives and could only try to avoid their master¡¯s immediate rampage. They were also terrified that Xue Linhan would kill everyone.

    One brave soul peeped out from behind a fallen bookcase and meekly said, ¡°Milord, now the most important thing is to find the murderer and avenge Young Master¡¯s death!¡±

    After hearing these words, Xue Linhan finally regained his senses.

    He quickly clicked on a video on hismunicator. It was a feed from Xue Yuan¡¯smunicator and it naturally showed him thest thing his son saw before he was fatally wounded.

    Qin Feng was standing directly opposite Xue Yuan, it revealed that Xue Yuan was injured as the hand that wore themunicator was grabbing Qin Feng¡¯s wrist.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body could be clearly seen from the video. It was just a ck cloak, a standardbat uniform and a pale mask. Even the parts where the eyes were had special lenses where the eyes could not be seen!

    This kind of enemy left no clues!

    *Trantor¡¯s Note: The trantion of ¡®Bloodhunter¡¯ (ÁÔÑªÕß) sticks the Chinese word for ¡®blood¡¯ between the Chinese words for ¡®Hunter¡¯. Xuehunter just doesn¡¯t sound as cool.

    Also, some life advice. Don¡¯t tell someone who¡¯s angry to calm down, that doesn¡¯t work.

 Chapter 277 - The D-tier Elderâ€™s Troop

    <h4>Chapter 277: The D-tier Elder¡¯s Troop</h4>

    Xue Linhan examined Zhang Wen¡¯s video again which showed the same automated scene over and over. Qin Feng¡¯s silhouette was faint, and he could just barely identify him as the person who had killed Xue Yuan. There was nothing much he could see in the video.

    ¡°Scum, scum, scum!¡±

    Now with his son dead, Xue Linhan was more furious than ever.

    Xue Linhan was part of the first generation of homicidal maniacs. While watching the scene, he had the urge to rush out to find the person in the video and crush him into millions of pieces.

    ¡°Thirteenth Elder, Seventh Elder wants you in the main hall!¡±

    Xue Linhan understood that this was a message which was received by everyone. He contained his anger as he strode out.

    Soon, he had arrived at arge, old house.

    This main hall was also a meeting ground for the Xue family to discuss important matters.

    ¡°Herees the Thirteenth!¡± All of the elders were sitting on their designated positions, and they were all in a bad mood.

    Xue Yuan had a very high position in the Xue family.

    He was destined to be an A-tier aptitude user in the future who could lead the Xue family out of the Four Cities of the North Sea. It was evident that he was very strong and capable, and after his awakening at the age of sixteen, he had never once disappointed the family.

    He was the first generation of youth in the Xue family.

    How could they not be furious when such a prodigy had been killed?

    ¡°Seventh Elder, I want to leave the vige to avenge my son¡¯s death!¡± Xue Linhan eximed.

    It was impossible to suppress his anger which was already at its peak.

    ¡°It¡¯s easy for you to say. Zhang Wen was quite strong as well, yet he still suffered a quick death. If you go there yourself, wouldn¡¯t that be a suicide mission too?¡± The Seventh Elder raged.

    ¡°Are we just going to let it go? And let Xiao Yuan die in vain?¡±

    Xue Linhan looked at the people around him with bloodshot eyes.

    Some of them were staring nkly, while others averted their gazes, not daring to meet Xue Linhan¡¯s gaze.

    After all, the strength Qin Feng had disyed was not weak.

    The Seventh Elder, who was now presiding over the situation, finally spoke up to appease the tension in the hall. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that we would give up on revenge, but as a part of the Xue family, he wouldn¡¯t hesitate to kill us either!¡±

    The Fifth Elder beside him also spoke up, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s say we¡¯ll take revenge, do you know where this man is now?¡±

    This time, Xue Linhan was silent. He certainly did not know where he was.

    Not only that, the person who had killed Xue Yuan and Zhang Wen was in disguise, and he could easily escape just by removing the disguise!

    This was clearly carefully nned out.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Thirteenth!¡± The Fifth Elder said while waving his bony arms.

    A young man from the seventh generation stepped forward and showed Xue Linhan hismunicator.

    ¡°Look at this!¡±

    Xue Linhan took one look, and his eyes red with anger again.

    ¡°He¡¯s provoking us!¡±

    ¡°And he¡¯s plotting on us!¡± The Seventh Elder eximed. ¡°He could have just walked away after killing Xue Yuan and Zhang Wen without exposing his identity, yet he went to the Bounty Hunter Network to register his identity. I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s waiting for us to find and kill him. He¡¯s either being too overconfident or he has someone to back him up!¡±

    Xue Linhan did not say anything but it was clear that he was not listening to whatever the Seventh Elder was saying.

    So what if it were a conspiracy?

    Xue Linhan was counting on his son to grow up so that he could live a good life in the future!

    And now? Now, it was all over!

    ¡°I don¡¯t care if it were a conspiracy or a plot, he better not let me find out who he is or who did it. Even if he¡¯s from one of the other three ancient warrior families, if they dare to kill my son, I¡¯ll kill their children and grandchildren in the worst possible way they can ever imagine!¡±

    There were four ancient warrior families in the Four Cities of the Northern Sea. Besides the Xue family, there were the Yang family, Tieh family and Hou family.

    The Northern Sea was a ce with remarkable, talented individuals, all of whom would try to conceal their true capabilities. It was a stretch for Xue Linhan to say those words.

    However, their family was already involved in the Dark Coalition, and they were not surprised by Xue Linhan¡¯s words.

    ¡°I understand that, so this time, I¡¯ll go with you!¡± said the Fifth Elder.

    The Fifth Elder was called Xue Yuheng, he was the fifth-generation disciple of the Xue family. He was already sixty-three years old, but he looked as if he was in his seventies or eighties, all because of the injuries his body had suffered in his early years.

    Although weakened, he was still stronger than most people. After all, he still had the capabilities of an E-tier aptitude user. With him deployed, their n would work much better.

    Xue Linhan felt a jolt of happiness in his heart.

    ¡°Thank you, uncle. You¡¯ll help us to avenge Xiao Yuan¡¯s death!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, those who provoked the Xue family will not be left alive!¡±

    The Seventh Elder gave up in his persuasion. It seemed that their n for revenge had been set in motion.

    Soon, the Xue family had assembled their troops. With the mobilization of the D-tier ancient warriors, the troops that followed was inevitably a rather strong one. As one of the ancient warrior families, the Xue family was even more particr with their troops.

    In total, there were more than twenty young warriors, all of whom were F-tier aptitude users, followed by three more E-tier aptitude users. The troops boarded seven to eight luxurious hover cars and headed toward Hanchuankou.

    In fact, they already had eyes in Hanchuankou, and they even used force to pressure the colony to hand over their people to obtain information about Bloodhunter¡¯s location.

    What they did not expect was that Bloodhunter had yet to leave!

    ***

    Qin Feng had no intention of leaving.

    He strolled through the disyed cars for two hours. Some people were even throwing strange looks at him.

    These people either found Qin Feng¡¯s outfit odd, or were the ones that were ordered to spy on him.

    Qin Feng did not bat an eye at them as he already had his gaze fixed on a car!

    ¡°Silver Bolt?¡±

    The extended car body had a veryfortable interior and a very spacious rearpartment.

    It was priced at 30 million!

    This newly-released model had a whole bunch of functions that were highly praised by the salesman.

    Having ten years of experience before his rebirth, Qin Feng knew what was best for a car, and the Silver Bolt was considered as a ssic model!

    ¡°I¡¯ll take this!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Oh, oh yes, Sir. Please wait a moment!¡±

    The man led Qin Feng to the checkout counter, and after making the payment, the Silver Bolt became Qin Feng¡¯s new car.

    He could not bring out the Umbra Stallion or the extended version of his luxurious hover car, or else it could expose his identity.

    And now, there was no need for him to worry about that anymore.

    Once Qin Feng got in the car, he revved it up and drove toward the city.

    At the same time, he saw many people holding up theirmunicators and filming his new car.

    Qin Feng drove the car toward the northern city gate and Hanchuankou slowly disappeared from his view. He was driving toward the direction of the Battlegod Tomb. However, his speed was not that fast.

    Half an hourter, Qin Feng saw more than ten cars speeding by in the middle of the wilderness.

    There was a bloodied palm on the rear side of these cars.

    These ancient warrior families would alwayse in groups. Each time the young members were killed, the elders would seek revenge.

    It was just that Qin Feng did not know who wasing this time.

    Qin Feng slowed down his car, but the cars on the other side of the road elerated toward him. Soon, Silver Bolt waspletely surrounded.

    On the road, it seemed that even the ultra beasts were affected by the dense atmosphere and did not dare to appear. They had all retreated to their safe spots.

    ¡°Hmph¡± Qin Feng smirked as he stepped out of his car.

    At the same time, the others had also stepped out of their cars, all of them surrounding the Silver Bolt.

    All of them were dressed in what seemed to be unified outfits. In the cool early days of winter, the undertones of reds and cks on their outfits glimmered and exuded dominance.

 Chapter 278 - A Brief Exchange of Attacks

    <h4>Chapter 278: A Brief Exchange of Attacks</h4>

    These people who were ordered to hunt him down first were the young generation of the Xue family.

    They looked at Qin Feng with a re that was full of appraisal, scrutiny and excitement. It was as if this time they were ordered to teach him a lesson!

    In fact, these young men were happy that Xue Yuan was murdered. Or else, they would never have the chance to make a debut for themselves.

    Too bad this person was going to die.

    As such, there was a hint of pityced with apparent glee in their expressions!

    ¡°Just you guys?¡± Qin Feng lowered his tone and said in a hoarse voice.

    With just a wave of his hand, he ced the Silver Bolt into the spatial rune equipment that he was carrying. There was no way he would let his newly-bought car be damaged.

    Even though it was just a wave of his hand, those young men¡¯s eyes were shining with admiration.

    To fit a car asrge as the Silver Bolt, the spatial space must be at least twenty cubic metres.

    It would require at least 100 million to possess such spatial equipment.

    For these young men, that was a very high price!

    Even the F-tier aptitude users were getting a bit flustered.

    Creak!

    The car door of the most luxurious and domineering hover car opened up, and the young men¡¯s faces were reced with a more respectful look.

    Three middle-aged men stepped out of the car, all of whom were E-tier ancient warriors.

    Then, an old man alighted from the car as well!

    Qin Feng¡¯s pupils narrowed behind his mask.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t think that the Xue family would actually send an elder!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately recognized him as Xue Yuheng.

    He seemed like a weak, dying old man. Before Qin Feng was reborn, he was aided by Xue Yuan to heal the injuries on his body, thus further enhancing his strength and allowing him to reach C-tier, which then helped him to make a name for himself in the Northern Sea region.

    Xue Yuheng was a vicious killer, and his methods were not at all inferior to Xue Yuan¡¯s.

    Or rather, there was not a single decent person in the entire Xue family.

    After all, their family practiced Sanguine Palm Arts, which required fresh blood. They had massacred countless ultra beasts and were very tough. Moreover, they would abduct any ordinary civilians that they wanted.

    In the eyes of this ancient warrior family that had fallen into the depths of madness, the ordinary civilians were iparable to them. They were of a different kind, and they did not even consider these ordinary civilians as human beings.

    They were considered ves, goods and sheep to be ughtered.

    When Qin Feng thought of this, his eyes were immediately filled with murderous intent. His eyes swept through these young men one more time, it appeared that the few he had killed before his rebirth seemed to be here as well.

    Now, they had finally crossed paths again!

    Of course, this was yet another bloodbath, and only one person would survive in the end.

    And that person would be Qin Feng.

    At the same time, Xue Yuheng was also examining Qin Feng.

    ¡°How dare youy a finger on the Xue family! Bring me the one behind all this, and I might leave your body intact!¡±

    However, Qin Feng smiled defiantly.

    ¡°The one behind all this? I¡¯m afraid I would have to disappoint you, I simply wanted to kill your people, and so I did!¡±

    To Qin Feng who had gone through rebirth, there were tens and thousands of reasons for him to kill the Xue family.

    It was only that in the present he had yet crossed paths with the Xue family.

    But so what if that were the case?

    There need not be so many reasons to kill them.

    ¡°Good, good! Boy, today I¡¯ll avenge my son¡¯s death, be prepared to die!¡± Xue Linhan could no longer contain his fury and was the first person tosh out. He dashed toward Qin Feng.

    He was indeed stronger than Zhang Wen, but he was still too weak whenpared to Qin Feng!

    Now, Qin Feng was invincible even whenpared with enemies of the same tier.

    He had the physical strength of a beast king, and his inner cloud had reached the 35thyer through hisst training.

    And his strength was four times more that of Xue Linhan¡¯s!

    For that, there was no way Xue Linhan could defeat Qin Feng.

    In a sh, Qin Feng unleashed his internal force and made his first move.

    Phantom Motion Steps!

    For a moment, Qin Feng¡¯s shadow was so heavy and dense that no one could see where Qin Feng¡¯s physical body actually was.

    Qin Feng infused his dagger with internal force and stabbed Xue Linhan¡¯s heart from the back.

    ¡°Scram!¡±

    The old Xue Yuheng suddenly let out a roar and rushed forward.

    With a false step, he immediately moved forward and shot out his bony arms to shield Xue Linhan from the back.

    Qin Feng was at the exact same position at the same time.

    He raised his arm holding the dagger and was going to chop off Xue Yuheng¡¯s arms.

    Xue Yuheng changed his stance at once and pped Qin Feng¡¯s arm with his palms.

    Qin Feng retracted his arm and struck him with his elbow. He concealed the dagger and was ready to stab at any moment!

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

    The two made quick counters.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Xue Yuheng screamed as Qin Feng¡¯s arm was raised and ready to strike again. While Qin Feng and Xue Yuheng were exchanging blows, Qin Feng¡¯s right arm was striking at Xue Linhan again.

    Xue Yuheng interrupted his backstab once, but this time it happened right under his nose, and yet there was no way he could stop it!

    ¡°B*stard!¡±

    Xue Yuheng was furious. His old face was trembling with anger as it made a terrifying expression.

    Qin Feng was unfazed and he used Phantom Motion Steps again.

    When coupled with the powerful dark rune, his Phantom Motion Step became a powerful technique.

    ¡°Damn it, this ancient warrior has enhanced his Phantom Motion Steps. He¡¯s just way too strong and his skills are just out of this world!¡±

    ¡°Thirteenth Elder, let me help you!¡±

    ¡°Watch out Fifth Uncle!¡±

    The three remaining ancient warriors stepped into the battlefield.

    ¡°Sanguine Palm Arts!¡±

    ¡°Inferno Blood Secret Art!¡±

    The four of them fought all at once!

    It was difficult to fight with two fists against four hands!

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered and put his hand into his pocket, and in the next moment, Qin Feng tossed out a white mass.

    It was Bai Li.

    Bai Li made a few tumbles in the air andnded on top of a car. Her three tails wagged and curved into ttering arcs which could capture one¡¯s heart. She was clearly a cute adorable pet.

    However, everyone¡¯s gazes quickly shifted back to the battlefield.

    With Bai Li now summoned, Qin Feng¡¯s attacks had be much stronger.

    ¡°Blood Transformation!¡± One of the E-tier aptitude users pped Qin Feng on the chest.

    Qin Feng¡¯s F-tier beast kingbat suit began to emit a silvery glow, then the glow seemed to have been shattered by the solid p attack!

    A sess!

    A trace of joy shed in the man¡¯s eyes, but the joy quickly turned into shock.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s body became a powerful vacuum with a huge suction force. The man could not move his hand afternding his palm attack on Qin Feng¡¯s chest, and he began to feel a backflow of his internal force.

    Qin Feng quickly sliced and stabbed with his dagger.

    Swish swish swish!

    With three cuts and six stabs, the dagger had gutted the insides of the warrior¡¯s abdomen!

    His intestines were all churned into mush, and the internal strength of his dantian waspletely drained away!

    ¡°Argh!¡± The man hastily retreated, but he had been stabbed too many times in just a short amount of time, and blood was gushing out of his wounds. He then copsed on the ground.

    ¡°Deacon Wang!¡±

    ¡°How is that possible!¡±

    The Xue family was shocked and everyone was staring with terrified gazes.

    In such a short battle, Qin Feng had yet to disy any of his techniques. He only relied on his strong body and dense internal force, yet he still managed to cripple one of Xue Linhan¡¯s arms and had taken away the life of E-tier deacon, Wang.

    With such power and strength, it was simply too overwhelming for them.

    ¡°Everyone, stand down! Retreat!¡±

    Xue Yuheng finally noticed that something was wrong!

    Although the person in front of him was only E-tier, his internal force was incredibly thick and dense. He was in no way any weaker than him.

    ¡°Looks like you came prepared!¡± Xue Yuheng said in a deep tone.

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°It¡¯s never toote for a man to get his revenge, and as for the Xue family, sooner orter, your day wille!¡±

    Before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, he died before he could get his revenge.

    And now, it was the perfect timing for revenge!

    And it was just a matter of time!

 Chapter 279 - The Inferno Blood Technique that Rejuvenates the Aged

    <h4>Chapter 279: The Inferno Blood Technique that Rejuvenates the Aged</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Xue Yuheng¡¯s face was pale.

    The Xue family had roamed the Four Cities of the Northern Sea for years, so undoubtedly they would have enemies.

    They had faced a lot of enemies in the past and had even tried to eliminate them all from the roots, it was possible that they had left out a few.

    Xue Yuheng did not know who Qin Feng was, and he had no intentions of getting to know him.

    All he knew was that Qin Feng was their enemy!

    People of the Xue family retreated after hearing Xue Yuheng¡¯s orders.

    The only person who did not retreat was an E-tier deacon, and even Xue Linhan knew that Qin Feng was not a person to be messed with.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were locked onto him.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to avenge your son¡¯s death? Why chicken out now?¡± Qin Feng said in a cold, sarcastic tone.

    Xue Linhan¡¯s eyes were bloodshot red, but he knew that he was no match for Qin Feng after having his arm removed, and his strength was greatly reduced.

    Now, he could only rely on Xue Yuheng to finish the job.

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe that after all these years, I still have to personallye out to clean up the mess!¡± Xue Yuheng said.

    Qin Feng fixated his gaze on Xue Yuheng.

    The others were fifty meters away from them, they were all clearly excited.

    Aptitude users could be taught and cultivated, and they could also gain knowledge and experience from watching two advanced aptitude users fight.

    Here, it was evident who the true ancient warriors were.

    The skilled warriors were not afraid to disy their skills, and whatever they do, the crowd would still be enthralled by their skills.

    Qin Feng was also somewhat looking forward to the battle at this point.

    If Xue Yuheng was an ability user or a gunner, Qin Feng would definitely turn around and run.

    But on the contrary, he was just an ancient warrior. Qin Feng was not afraid and his expression revealed a hint of anticipation.

    The more powerful the enemy was, the more powerful the internal force he could absorb after killing him.

    ¡°Inferno Blood!¡±

    Two words were firmly spat out from Xue Yuheng¡¯s mouth.

    As soon as the words were heard, Xue Yuheng¡¯s appearance changed drastically.

    He was originally an old man in his seventies or eighties with a hunched back. Now, his back was slowly straightening, and his old, wrinkly body was starting to gain some weight.

    His hair became dense and was as dark as ink, and his loose wrinkly skin firmed up and became smooth. The dark age spots on his face gradually faded, and the color of his skin changed from aged yellow to tender white.

    In just the blink of an eye, it was like time had reversed his body to how he looked like almost sixty years ago.

    Xue Yuheng¡¯s appearance had turned into a twenty-year-old youth. With just a nce, it was surprising to see that he looked even younger than Xue Yuan, but his eyes still had the same calmposure.

    His once baggy clothes seemed to have been filled up by his muscr body, and his posture was now upright. He looked handsome and charming.

    The Inferno Blood Secret Art had drastically improved his vitality and reversed his aging, returning him to his youthful self.

    Even Qin Feng could sense that there was a major difference between Xue Yuheng¡¯s D-tier aptitude strength from then and now.

    ¡°You gave me no choice but to use Inferno Blood Art, do you have any idea what kind of price you¡¯ll have to pay?¡±

    Qin Feng did not reply.

    ¡°Today, everyone from your colony will die! And it¡¯s all because of you!¡± Xue Yuheng continued indifferently.

    If Qin Feng were an ordinary person, he would definitely feel the pressure increasing after hearing those words.

    Xue Yuheng was indeed a cunning old man.

    Before engaging in a battle, it was important to have a calm state of mind.

    ¡°I know that is the Xue family¡¯s Inferno Blood Art. The younger you want to be, the more fresh blood you require, but don¡¯t get too cocky just yet.¡± Speaking of youth, even if Xue Yuheng had reversed his age, he was still not as young as Qin Feng.

    Being in his prime, Qin Feng¡¯s body was strengthened to the utmost tier, and he was in no way weaker than Xue Yuheng.

    ¡°Hehehe, then I¡¯ll let you witness the destruction of your colony with your very own eyes. You¡¯ll be responsible for their deaths, and you will die amidst guilt!¡±

    This seemed to be the kind of theatrics that the Dark Coalition was all too fond of.

    All of them loved to disrupt the world¡¯s justice, peace and order. Moreover, they also liked to use guilt to put those heroes under great pressure which would eventually make them go insane.

    But all those tactics did not work well on Qin Feng.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for so much crap when clearly the person that¡¯s going to die is not me!¡±

    Qin Feng spoke with unparalleled confidence.

    ¡°Don¡¯t bite off more than you can chew!¡± Xue Yuheng roared, and in the next moment, a huge internal force vortex formed around him.

    The vortex was like a low-pressure atmosphere, making the surrounding people gasp for more air.

    With his internal energy fused into one, transparent water ripples formed around him.

    D-tier ancient warriors were worlds apart from E-tier ancient warriors.

    He turned his internal energy into liquid, forming it into water droplets.

    Condensing his aura to liquid was aplete change in state of matter.

    The members of the Xue family that were fifty meters away could hardly breathe and unconsciously backed away. Some of them were even pushed onto the ground by the tremendous air pressure.

    Qin Feng began to unleash his internal force around himself to protect his body.

    The internal force that had enveloped his body formed into a whirlpool, but whenpared to Xue Yuheng¡¯s, his was white and seemed to appear like a mist.

    Xue Yuheng cackled.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to push yourself so hard if you¡¯re not strong enough. You¡¯re releasing your internal force now, and soon it will deplete in no time without needing me to give you a good beating. Are you nning to surrender without a fight?¡±

    ¡°Then, we¡¯ll see whose internal force will deplete first!¡±

    Xue Yuheng had suffered injuries in his early years which had obstructed his D-tier strength from reaching D1-tier!

    From E-tier to D-tier, tenyers of the sea of clouds¡¯ internal force in the dantian could be turned into a pool of internal force water, and what Xue Yuheng now had was a pool of internal strength.

    However, Qin Feng had thirty fiveyers of sea of clouds, which was iparable since it was three times of what the other party had.

    Neither of them showed signs of backing away, and in the next moment they were both dashing toward each other.

    The internal force exuding from their bodies had been stirred into a mass and formed into an energy wave that was spreading outward!

    Boom!

    The hover cars around the two of them were all sted a meter away, and even the steel tes were deformed!

    It was just a mere sh between two internal forces.

    Boom boom boom!

    The two began with their attacks.

    ¡°Sanguine Palm Art!¡±

    A powerful palm pped through Qin Feng¡¯s shadow. Xue Yuheng channelled his internal force through his huge palm, which was then directly pped onto the highway.

    The ground was smashed with a two-meterrge crater.

    Whoosh!

    Qin Feng appeared behind Xue Yuheng with his sharp dagger pierced into his internal forceyer.

    Creak!

    A sharp sound pierced the air, and the two internal forces collided with one another.

    ¡°Die!¡± Xue Yuheng countered with a strike that was zingly fast.

    Xue Yuheng¡¯s strength had indeed increased in astronomical levels.

    During his previous battle with Qin Feng, his moves were calm andposed, but his attacks were vicious and powerful. Yet, he still had notnded a single blow on Qin Feng.

    Having his younger self back, Xue Yuheng was clearly excited and he fought with exhration.

    His speed had dramatically increased, and he finallynded a blow on Qin Feng.

    Bam!

    Swish!

    Qin Feng received a palm blow on his shoulder, and the shoulder part of his battle suit instantly dimmed and was damaged. Although no one could really see it, there seemed to be a scraped mark on his physical body.

    Xue Yuheng¡¯s hair fluttered in the wind after being cut off by Qin Feng. A tiny wound appeared on his cheek, with a trace of blood dripping out.

    Both of them had now changed positions.

    The corner of Xue Yuheng¡¯s lips twitched. He raised his hand to wipe off the trace of blood on his cheek, and his hand was immediately stained with blood.

    His appearance became hideous and dangerous.

    ¡°You are knocking on death¡¯s door!¡±

    Xue Yuheng pounced at Qing Feng like a provoked, rabid dog.

 Chapter 280 - The Highway Showdown

    <h4>Chapter 280: The Highway Showdown</h4>

    The battle between Xue Yuheng and Qin Feng was intense.

    The highway they were on was not far from the entrance of Hanchuankou, and on the highway, the tremendous pressure of their internal force could be felt from miles away. The oing caravans came to a halt as the passengers were too frightened to go any further!

    Who the hell were they? Were they having a mighty duel?

    However, the fight between the duellers was getting more and more intense.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength was not weak, but his moves were clearly at a disadvantage.

    ¡°Die!¡± Xue Yuheng swung his fleshy palms in mad pursuit of Qin Feng. Qin Feng had received many palm blows, but what made Xue Yuheng even more furious was that Qin Feng was unfazed by the attacks.

    Could it be that his Sanguine Palm Arts had lost its effect?

    Or maybe his enemy had found some way to subdue the attacks¡¯ effects?

    Xue Yuheng had no choice but to give in his everything.

    The entire highway was caved in, and the hover cars that surrounded them were destroyed beyond recognition.

    ¡°Pressure Point Strike!¡± Xue Yuheng suddenly changed his attacking style and struck his finger at Qin Feng with lightning speed.

    He channelled his internal strength into his hand and condensed it at the fingertips. With immense power, he instantly struck his finger on Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was wounded but they were merely light scratches on his skin. However, this time, the finger strike had caused him to not be able to move his entire body.

    This was an advanced ancient warrior technique used to block meridian points of the body. This was moremonly known as the Touch of Death.

    This technique was a lost art, and it was even more unlikely to have the same effect as told from the legends before the end of the world. It was said that with just a blow, the person would not be able to move for a very long time.

    Qin Feng felt that the qi and blood cirction within his body were obstructed, and his meridians were instantly cut off from flowing, causing his internal force to go awry and his body to stiffen.

    But yet, the effect was just a fraction of a second and not even the blink of an eye.

    The effect of his devouring ability was clear at this moment.

    Qin Feng¡¯s meridians were tough and wide, they were not something that could be easily attacked.

    It was just that he was slightly caught off guard by his opponent¡¯s highly advanced attack.

    Xue Yuheng grimaced as he raised his palm and aimed at the crown of Qin Feng¡¯s skull.

    As long as he was able tond the p, Qin Feng would definitely die.

    Even when it was a moment of life and death, Qin Feng was still extremelyposed, but the color of his eyes was even darker.

    Whoosh!

    The same ck line appeared directly from Qin Feng¡¯s eyebrow andnded on Xue Yuheng¡¯s skull!

    Xue Yuheng¡¯s vision instantly went ck and he lost all five senses, he became hesitant of his attack. Even though it was only just a few milliseconds, he was still on par with Qin Feng when Qin Feng had been hurt.

    Qin Feng instantly leaped backward.

    With his many years of experience, Xue Yuheng pped once again.

    Only this time, his palm missed Qin Feng, and the ground where Qin Feng was before was instantly enveloped by a deadly aura. A humongous crate was formed on the ground.

    Swish!

    Qin Feng appeared behind Xue Yuheng, his dagger was ready to stab.

    With his keen senses, Xue Yuheng felt the murderous auraing from behind him and he frantically pushed out his internal force.

    His internal force boiled and burst out in a qi wave.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Qin Feng sneered as he released his internal force at the same time. This time, he amplified his internal strength even more.

    Boom!

    Their internal forces shed against each other, emitting an explosion.

    Qin Feng continued to stab with his dagger. This time, he struck his opponent right on the spine.

    Xue Yuheng was sent flying and was sted four or five meters away. His motionless body tumbled and rolled on the ground four or five times before it came to a halt.

    ¡°Ahh!¡±

    ¡°Fifth Elder, look out!¡±

    ¡°Fifth Grandpa!¡±

    Those who were watching the battle from afar did not expect the fight to go this way. They could not believe that Xue Yuheng was actually sent flying.

    There was no way Qin Feng would spare his opponent that easily. He advanced toward his opponent again.

    Xue Yuheng came back to his senses, he used his internal energy to dispel the runes.

    ¡°What kind of attack is this?¡±

    Xue Yuheng was a little perplexed.

    Qin Feng hooked his lips and smiled.

    ¡°An attack that will finish you off!¡±

    Qin Feng would not engage in any gentleman¡¯s duel etiquettes or rules with Xue Yuheng. Before this, he only used ancient warrior fighting styles and kept his final move as his trump card, but he did not expect Xue Yuheng to actually use his special move. Hence, he figured that he should not hold back either.

    It did not matter how he won, as long as he was able to kill his opponent, no one would care about the result.

    The winner would triumph!

    Qin Feng quickly chased after Xue Yuheng.

    Xue Yuheng pped the ground with one hand and dodged his attack.

    This time, a ck light rushed toward him once again.

    He dared not ept his inevitable fate but the light was now only an inch away from him!

    ¡°Pressure Point Strike!¡±

    Having expended a huge amount of internal force, he sent out another finger as the two shed against one another.

    Boom!

    The deafening explosion almost shattered their eardrums.

    The bloody mist and ck light exploded upon contact.

    Xue Yuheng was left breathing heavily. The two consecutive Pressure Point Strikes had consumed too much of his internal force but he had to do it to defend himself.

    In just the blink of an eye, Qin Feng sent out another ripple of dark light.

    Xue Yuheng finally figured out the attack and was truly shocked.

    ¡°Dark Ability!¡±

    This was not even a move at all!

    ¡°Unfortunately, it is already toote even though you have figured it out!¡± Qin Feng said as the light struck Xue Yuheng, causing him to lose his sight.

    Xue Yuheng tried to dodge but he had lost all five senses, and he had no idea which direction he was facing.

    Even if it was just a fraction of a second, it was enough for Qin Feng to approach him.

    Qin Feng stabbed Xue Yuheng with his dagger again.

    Their internal forces shed once again.

    Boom!

    Xue Yuheng was sted backward for over several meters. This time, the injuries he sustained were deadlier than before.

    ¡°Ugh!¡± Xue Yuheng spat out a mouthful of blood, and blood began to flow out of his chest. Not only that, his back was also stained with blood after being stabbed by Qin Feng.

    Age began to show on Xue Yuheng¡¯s face. His youthful appearance became more middle-age looking now as wrinkles started to show and his skin began to sag.

    Due to the injuries he had suffered, the effects of the Inferno Blood Art were starting to fade away.

    Qin Feng would not give his opponent the time to rest. He dashed forward again and kicked Xue Yuheng right on the neck.

    If the kick were tond sessfully, Xue Yuheng would surely die.

    ¡°Stop!¡±

    An explosive voice rang out. It was one of the capable deacons left in the Xue family who suddenly burst into attack.

    He shouted for Qin Feng to stop but he himself was not nning to stop as he tried to p Qin Feng with his palm.

    However, his p did not even go through Qin Feng¡¯s internal force.

    ¡°Scram!¡±

    With a slight tremble of his periphery, Qin Feng expanded his internal force, instantly knocking the man out as his body smashed into the front of the Xue family¡¯s most luxurious car.

    Bang!

    The aptitude user groaned in pain, he felt that his organs were messed up from the impact.

    Qin Feng did not hold back this time. His internal strength was too powerful and was ten times that of this man¡¯s. If he were to unleash it all at once, it would naturally suppress and crush the other party.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Xue Yuheng then seized this opportunity, his entire body was now covered in blood as his hands turned into ws and he tried to grab at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng quickly turned around but this time it was toote and he had no choice but to endure this blow.

    Poof!

    His shirt was pierced through and his inner armor scrapped. Xue Yuheng¡¯s w attack pierced through Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder.

    However, this w attack, which would normally break bones, whennded on Qin Feng¡¯s body, could barely reach the bones at all.

    Xue Yuheng felt that he had just wed onto an extremely tough ck iron.

    It was because Qin Feng had the body flesh of a beast king, and there was no way Xue Yuheng could pierce through his flesh that easily!

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng seized this opportunity and without hesitation, he dropped his dagger and ced his palm on Xue Yuheng¡¯s dantian.

    The Asteroid Assimtion skill was finally unleashed!

 Chapter 281 - Total Wipeout

    <h4>Chapter 281: Total Wipeout</h4>

    Dantian has always been the most protected spot for an ancient warrior. It would rarely be left exposed in a battle between two aptitude users.

    That was why Qin Feng usually could not apply Asteroid Assimtion at the beginning of a battle.

    However, as the fight drags on, there would be more openings and the supremacy of Asteroid Assimtion would be in full disy inte-stage.

    Xue Yuheng risked exposing his weakness in hopes of giving Qin Feng a heavy blow to turn the fight around.

    Qin Feng grasped the opportunity andunched his attack as well. Though he would also sustain full damage that way, Qin Feng knew well that he was not going to be the one most wounded.

    The pulling force of Asteroid Assimtion rapidly sucked out Xue Yuheng¡¯s internal force from his dantian.

    The internal force of a D-tier aptitude user was in liquid form. The fluidic internal power immediately transformed into a gas-form cloud after being absorbed by Qin Feng.

    Anotheryer of energy cloud was quickly added into Qin Feng¡¯s dantian.

    The second and thirdyers soon followed.

    After the fourthyer was shaped, Xue Yuheng began to jerk violently and his skin texture aged rapidly.

    The fouryers of internal energy fluid remaining in his dantian had been absorbed clean by Qin Feng.

    He stared at Qin Feng horrifyingly. His meridian had gone haywire and blood was continuously spilling out from his mouth. Xue Yuheng tried to free himself but to no avail as he was captured firmly by the assimtion force.

    Within a minute, Xue Yuheng¡¯s life force had beenpletely sucked out from his body. There was no vigor left in his eyes as his frail body shrunk like a withered nt.

    Qin Feng retracted his hand as he could no longer sense any internal force left in the victim¡¯s body. He turned his palm into a fist andnded a heavy punch right on Xue Yuheng¡¯s chest.

    Crack!

    The sound of bones shattering was promptly heard. Xue Yuheng¡¯s muscles were all wasted and his skeleton was the only thing supporting him now. The merciless punch easily smashed the bare bones into pieces.

    Xue Yuheng was dead!

    Those who were watching the battle from about a hundred meters away were round-eyed with terror.

    Qin Feng did not stop at one life and turned toward the rest.

    The deacon from Xue family, who had lost any will to fight, climbed into his luxurious hover car when he saw that Qin Feng had his gaze switched to them. His two legs were dangling outside of the car as he tried strenuously to reach the driver seat.

    Qin Feng clenched one of his feet and dragged him out from the vehicle.

    ¡°Argh! Don¡¯t kill me! Spare my life!¡±

    So what if he was an E-tier aptitude user. Everyone was equally terrified in the face of death.

    Asteroid Assimtion.

    Qin Feng pushed his hand onto his victim¡¯s abdomen and absorbed his internal force.

    The deacon¡¯s energy was nothing like Xue Yuheng¡¯s. He only had oneyer of loosely-formed sea of clouds, thus Qin Feng¡¯s internal force did not strengthen by much after absorbing his.

    The poor soul stopped moving after a while. He had suffered serious internal damage before and was using his remaining internal force to prolong his waning life. Now that he had lost the protection from his internal force, death was inevitable.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes glowed with malice after he had killed two persons in quick session. He continued to pace toward the remaining members of the Xue family.

    Fear hadpletely taken over them. They fell back subconsciously as Qin Feng approached them.

    They were terrified!

    ¡°Run!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to die here!¡±

    ¡°Quick! Run for your life!¡±

    They followed their elders here to unt their family¡¯s superiority. Now, they were fleeing with tails between their legs. What an irony!

    But they could not care less about their pride now. All they wanted was to stay alive.

    The one that fled the quickest was not the youngsters but Xue Linhan.

    ¡°Where are you running off to?¡±

    Qin Feng directed his internal force into his legs and immediately blew the tar roads apart.

    He sprang forward quickly. ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng put down five targets in one fell swoop using only his internal force.

    Poof! Poof! Poof!

    Their bodies were instantly mashed by Qin Feng¡¯s powerful punches. To Qin Feng, these F and G-tier ancient warriors from the Xue family were nothing more than fleas. Nheless, Qin Feng did not n to let anyone of them escape from his grasp.

    He exterminated most of them in less than three assaults.

    Xue Linhan was the only one still moving now.

    However, he too was heavily injured with one of his arms cut off by Qin Feng earlier. He did not manage to run far.

    Qin Feng caught up to him quickly.

    Asteroid Assimtion. Pulling force!

    Xue Linhan felt arge whirlpool approaching him fast from behind. The powerful suction greatly diminished his speed.

    ¡°No!¡±

    His shriek was unable to deter Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng promptly clenched Xue Linhan¡¯s neck.

    Snap!

    Xue Linhan¡¯s neck was twisted at an inconceivable angle following the crisp popping sound.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng triggered Asteroid Assimtion and emptied Xue Linhan¡¯s internal force. He let his body go after that and beheaded him with a dagger. This head was worth a fortune if handed to the bounty hunterwork.

    Qin Feng began to sweep the battlefield afterward. The members from the Xue family had brought along a lot of spatial equipment with them, not to mention the possessions of the three top dogs, especially Xue Yuheng.

    As a D-tier aptitude user, his wealth wasparable to that of a city mayor¡¯s. The materials, potions, and power credits in his spatial equipment were worth close to ten billion. The amount of money in Xue Yuheng¡¯s ount was probably even greater.

    Regrettably, Xue Yuheng had retired for a long time. He had not been wanted for ten years and the bounty on his head had long expired.

    Anyhow, Qin Feng was content with the loot found on Xue Yuheng.

    ¡®I didn¡¯t think that my disguise would earn me ten billion this easily.¡¯ Qin Feng grinned.

    ¡°Stop being so carefree. You are bleeding!¡± Bai Li jumped down from the hover car quickly. She then climbed up to Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder and licked his wound.

    Qin Feng stroked Bai Li gently but identally tainted her shiny fur with blood. Bai Li rolled her eyes at him.

    ¡°My bad. Let¡¯s head to Niumeng now so that you can have a shower there,¡± Qin Feng took out his Silver Bolt as he spoke and the hover car sped off instantly.

    Half an hour after Qin Feng disappeared from the battlefield, a fleet of cars arrived. They were the ones that dared not move close earlier on.

    Soon, they had their eyes on the tragic scene¡ªthe devastated highway, multiple rolled over cars, and a pile of human corpses. They gasped in horror.

    ¡°Let¡¯s get the hell out of here. I am not going through here even if the detour is three times the distance!¡±

    They wanted no part of such a disastrous battle. Leaving their trails here might drag them into unthinkable problems.

    Even though themunicators on the dead bodies and the deserted hover car were extremely valuable, they did not have enough courage to pige the warzone.

    At the same time, themunicators began to ring non-stop in the Xue family¡¯s base.

    The deacon was dead!

    The Fifth Elder, Xue Yuheng, was dead.

    The deacon was dead!

    The Seventh...

    The Seventh...

    ***

    The sixth-generation descendant, Xue Linhan, was dead.

    Tragic news kept arriving through themunicators.

    Those who departed to hunt down Bloodhunter had beenpletely wiped out.

 Chapter 282 - Three Billion Bounty

    <h4>Chapter 282: Three Billion Bounty</h4>

    The entire Xue family was rocked by the news.

    ¡°How is this possible?¡± The Seventh Elder eximed distressingly.

    However, no matter how outrageous it seemed, nobody could deny the fact that they had all died in the hands of a single bounty hunter.

    The Seventh Elder yed the videos sent to him one by one with a trembling hand.

    He was not the only one being stupefied. Every member of the Xue family found it difficult to swallow the hard truth.

    All the young blood dispatched along with the elders this time epassed an entire generation of young talents painstakingly developed by the Xue family.

    Simr to the colony, teenagers were the greatest asset for this family. Youngsters would be awakened at the age of sixteen and cultivate for another sixteen years before they could serve the family.

    Other than talent, the development of an aptitude user alsoy heavily on the opportunities present. To any young user, the chance to observe the fight of a D-tier aptitude user first hand was hard toe by. Those who were given such an opportunity were no doubt the top of their ss.

    Who would have thought that they would all be annihted?

    If Xue Yuan was considered the best talent in the seventh generation, then those who went with Xue Yuheng would be ranked in at least the top twenty.

    The Xue family would probably run out of descendents in a few years after this disaster.

    ¡°How could this happen? Could there be a trap? Is someone trying to hunt us down? Who would that be? Who has such bravery to challenge us?¡±

    While they were specting, the subsequent videos silenced everyone.

    Apparently, there was neither an ambush nor another D-tier aptitude user on the scene. Bloodhunter was the indisputable culprit that had killed everyst one of them.

    ¡°I thought he was only an E-tier? How did he manage to kill the Fifth Elder?¡±

    ¡°Look, we can view the fight between Fifth Elder and Bloodhunter clearly from this angle. Could it be that the Fifth Elder was suffering the repercussions from Inferno Blood in the middle of the battle?¡±

    ¡°Sigh. The Fifth Elder was severely injured in the past. He should not have been given the job after all.¡±

    The effect of Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion at the end of their battle indeed resembled the side effects of the Inferno Blood Secret Art. Thus, it led to the spection that the Fifth Elder was killed by ident.

    Regardless of the truth, the current pressing issue was whether they should continue seeking revenge.

    This was when another message was delivered.

    ¡°How dare you!¡± The Seventh Elder bellowed infuriatingly.

    Everyone else clenched their fists and stared at theirmunicators furiously.

    It was an update on the bounty hunterwork. Qin Feng had just uploaded another three photos there. The three photos did not show a bloody head like before but the content of the photos was still a giant p in the face for the Xue family.

    Those were evidence proving Bloodhunter had imed the bounty for Xue Linhan and the two deacons from the Xue family. A huge stamp that read pleted¡± was clearly seen imprinted on the posters.

    Below the wanted poster was a string of numbers representing the reward on their heads. Killing three of them had earned Bloodhunter at least one billion.

    Bloodhunter had even left ament below, ¡°It¡¯s too bad that Xue Yuheng¡¯s bounty had expired.¡±

    As if that was not enough to humiliate the Xue family, other bounty hunters chipped in andmended Qin Feng¡¯s achievements.

    ¡°I noticed that Bloodhunter is just an E-tier user. Is that true? If my memory serves me right, Xue Yuheng was a D-tier elder from the Xue family. How did this guy defeat him?¡±

    ¡°1 billion! That¡¯s a lot of money.¡±

    ¡°What kind of grudge does this Bloodhunter hold against the Dark Coalition?¡±

    ¡°Clearly, the elder from the Xue family was trying to avenge his family member killed earlier but he paid with his own life instead.¡±

    ¡°Wonderful!¡±

    Everyone in thework cheered for Qin Feng after someone brought up the dark history of the Xue family.

    Those from the Xue family were exasperated. Before Bloodhunter emerged, anyone who dared to bad mouth about the Xue family was no different from having invited destruction to his or her entire family.

    Now, nobody seemed to be afraid anymore. Many joined in on the denouncement openly. Years of the reputation built up by the Xue family was smashed overnight. Qin Feng had sessfully lifted the people¡¯s fear toward the Xue family with his heroic act.

    ¡°Seventh Elder, we can¡¯t let this go just like this. I suggest we inform the head of the family!¡± The family members had clearly be irrational out of anger.

    ¡°Shut your mouth, moron! Do we need to startle him for a mere E-tier bounty hunter?¡± The Seventh Elder rebuked the suggestion. His name was Xue Yukui, who acted as the current patriarch of the Xue family.

    The actual chief of the family was naturally the strongest user of the family¡ªA C-tier elder at a hundred and twenty years old.

    He was currently roaming about the world looking for materials to prolong his life. He had gone beyond the North Sea searching for a way to break through and be stronger.

    Even in his absence, other factions and colonies still respected and feared the Xue family¡¯s power.

    Unexpectedly, the bnce was now destroyed by an E-tier user, who had single-handedly killed Xue Yuheng. This sent out a message, whereby those from the Xue family were not actually as scary as the rumor sounded.

    To the Xue family, such a blow was catastrophic.

    Yet, the first idea that came to Xue Yukui¡¯s mind after watching the videos was to avoid shing with this Bloodhunter directly at all cost.

    It was because he could not deny Bloodhunter¡¯s supreme skills.

    ¡®He is probably stronger than we know. There¡¯s no way he is just an ordinary aptitude user. Otherwise, he would not have destroyed an E-tier ancient warrior¡¯s organs in an instance.¡¯

    ¡®Facing such a fighter is like battling an E-tier beast king. We would merely be sending more people to be sacrificed if we act recklessly now.¡¯

    ¡®Moreover, he is now residing in Niumeng City. It would be tricky to ambush him there.¡¯

    Xue Yukui¡¯s mind spun feverishly.

    His family members were furious as they felt humiliated by the open provocation. They looked at Xue Yukui expectantly, hoping that he could provide them with a satisfactory solution.

    Xue Yukui came to a decision quickly under the immense pressure. ¡°Immediately put a bounty on Bloodhunter. Three billion!¡±

    The others were first shocked, then happy with the decision.

    That was a wise judgment. This was indeed the best solution at the moment.

    There was no need to do the dirty work with their own hands. With the lucrative reward, many would definitely answer the call. No matter how powerful this Bloodhunter was, he would still sumb to being heavily outnumbered.

    Those from the Xue family immediately spread the news.

    ***

    Qin Feng checked into the most luxurious hotel in Niumeng after submitting the mission in the bounty hunter hall.

    His wound was revealed after he had taken off the battle suit.

    Xue Yuheng¡¯s Sanguine Palm did hurt Qin Feng. Luckily, it did not damage his meridian and bones. Even so, his skin swelled at where Xue Yuheng had hit him. It popped and bled after Qin Feng poked it.

    Bai Li circled Qin Feng worryingly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, this is nothing serious!¡± Qin Feng took out some high-tier beast meat as he spoke.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    He absorbed the energy stored within the meat, and soon, the swelling was reduced as the wound healed rapidly. The four holes left behind by the Sanguine Palm were also healing at an observable speed.

    Bai Li stopped hopping around nervously after seeing that and curled within Qin Feng¡¯s crossed legs to apany him quietly.

    Qin Feng adopted the meditation posture and checked his dantian.

    The seas of clouds in it had increased by twentyyers after today¡¯s fight.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    The internal force rapidly surged to his head, then descended to his limbs and strengthened all his meridians. The surplus of internal energy was then recycled back to his dantian.

    That left his dantian with fortyyers of dense seas of clouds¡ªFour times the amount aspared to an ordinary E-tier ancient warrior at his or her peak.

    His internal force might not lose even if he were to contest a D-tier ancient warrior now.

 Chapter 283 - Assassins Surfaced

    <h4>Chapter 283: Assassins Surfaced</h4>

    Still, the maximum capacity between the two tiers was fundamentally different. Qin Feng¡¯s confidence stemmed from the ancient warrior¡¯s habit of conserving energy whennding punches. No D-tier would go all out on Qin Feng from the start so he would still stand a chance if he yed his card right.

    Qin Feng released a long breath and smiled satisfyingly.

    He turned on the bounty hunterwork and was irked after reading thements tagging his ount.

    ¡°Heh, I have been listed in the dar¡¯s wanted list. This must be the Xue family¡¯s doing.¡±

    The dar¡¯s wanted list was equivalent to the bounty hunterwork. To a certain extent, the former was even more attractive to bounty hunters.

    The officialwork only listed criminals who hadmitted heinous felonies.

    On the other hand, anyone¡¯s head could be given a price in the dar. As long as the price was right, there would be ample of willing assassins in the underworld to do the killing for you.

    ¡°Three billion, not a bad price.¡± Qin Feng sneered.

    This was when the doorbell in his room rang. A sweetdy¡¯s voice reached his ears from outside the door.

    ¡°Good evening, Sir. Room service.¡±

    ¡®Room service?¡¯ Qin Feng opened the door calmly.

    At the doorstep, a prettydy in a nurse costume stood flirtatiously in front of Qin Feng. Her make-up made her look stunningly beautiful.

    ¡°Sir, wee to Niumeng Grand Hotel. Here, we provide free massage services to help you rx,¡± The youngdy said and tried to barge in with her trolley. She was only one hundred fifty meters tall and the trolley seemed to be too heavy for her size. Her shirt was slightly exposed as she exerted force, and her cleavage was left bare to Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Qin Feng stopped her and said in a deep voice, ¡°I did not ask for room service.¡±

    ¡°As I said, this is free of charge,¡± Thedy winked at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng scoffed at her. ¡°Ms. Tian, save your breath. You can¡¯t kill anyone with such lousy trickery.¡±

    Her identity was already exposed when Qin Feng scanned the area with his conscious energy before he opened the door.

    Thousand-face Enchantress¡ªTian Sheng.

    She was an assassin who liked to use her beauty to bewitch her target. She was good at impersonation and would often assassinate the male target when they were the least vignt.

    It might be a cheap trick but this strategy often had a high sess rate on the male target.

    Qin Feng had met with Tian Sheng once in his past life. She was already a mistress to a B-tier aptitude user then and no longer worked as an assassin. He clearly remembered her conscious energy and would immediately recognize her even if she were toe to him with an entirely different face.

    Tian Sheng did not panic but instead put on an innocent face. ¡°What are you talking about, Mister? My surname is Zhou, not Tian.¡± She drew closer and whispered in a coquettish tone, ¡°Don¡¯t you like me, Mister?¡±

    She blinked hopefully but Qin Feng was unmoved. He took out a dagger and aimed it on her neck.

    Tian Sheng finally yielded her disguise and evaded the attack because she could feel that Qin Feng was serious about beheading her.

    ¡°My, my. Not only are you a cruel and cold-blooded Bloodhunter but you also do not have the slightest sense of chivalry!¡±

    Tian Sheng¡¯s tone hadpletely changed. Without the imitation, she was an entirely different person from the alluringdy she pretended to be.

    She flipped over the towel on the trolley and pulled out a dposition ster under it. In the next moment, the crystalline ster was aimed straight at Qin Feng¡¯s face.

    Blitz!

    The gun released a shot of radiance right at Qin Feng, forcing Qin Feng to retreat quickly. The radiance grazed the wall and immediately corroded it, leaving behind a huge hole. The brick underneath turned into crystal and shattered on the ground.

    Blitz! Blitz!

    Tian Sheng did not loosen her pursuit and fired another few sts.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and a chair flew right at Tian Sheng in response.

    Blitz!

    The chair was pulverized after being hit by the dposition ster.

    When Tian Sheng looked up, she had lost track of Qin Feng, only seeing a snowy beast residing in the room.

    It was a beautiful three-tailed fox, no matter how you looked at it.

    But Tian Sheng could feel a shiver run down her spine.

    The fox¡¯s eyes were filled with rage and great impatience. Other than that, there was also a subtle allure hidden within the beast¡¯s sight.

    ¡°Look at me!¡±

    ¡°Ugh!¡± Tian Sheng was distracted for a moment.

    That was more than enough for Qin Feng to sneak up to her from behind.

    Poof!

    A dagger wrapped with internal force instantly prated Tian Sheng¡¯s heart from the back.

    Tian Sheng¡¯s pupils dted as she staggered forward.

    Qin Feng pulled out the dagger and blood spilled everywhere on the floor and the wall.

    ¡°How... ugh... is this... happening...¡±

    Life slowly sapped away from Tian Sheng after her heart was punctured.

    Qin Feng assimted Tian Sheng¡¯s consciousness after she was dead. She was only a low-tier gunner and could not harm Qin Feng at all after her seductive n was seen through.

    ¡°I want to change to a different room. Look at my bed sheet!¡± Bai Liined angrily.

    Even if Bai Li did notin, the room was no longer in a stay-able condition. However, Qin Feng did not call the reception first and instead contacted the bounty hunterwork.

    Qin Feng delivered three heads over to them as soon as he arrived in Niumeng. It was only natural for the organization to be extra attentive toward Qin Feng.

    They immediately sent someone over right after Qin Feng called them. The agent was shown to the dead female body once he arrived at the hotel room.

    ¡°I remember that Tian Sheng¡¯s bounty is around 500 million, am I right?¡± Her bounty was even higher than that of the Xue descendents. That was because she hadmitted multiple murders as an assassin.

    Gulp.

    The agent ran a quick DNA test. Technology had advanced to a point where such a test could bepleted on the go within minutes. Tian Sheng¡¯s identity was soon confirmed, and the agent ratified that Qin Feng hadpleted yet another manhunt.

    It was only after they hadpleted the procedure that Qin Feng requested the hotel staff to change his room. The concierges talked to Qin Feng with great respect after they saw the extent of the damage done to the room.

    ¡°Stop epting new customers today. We already have our hands full with one troublesome guest. We can¡¯t afford to let another fight erupt here.¡± This was the order the manager received after he reported the matter to the real owner of the hotel¡ªOne of the administrators of Niumeng City.

    The owner¡¯s face darkened after learning that the customer was none other than Bloodhunter, who had made a name for himself by killing three infamous Dark Coalition members.

    The owner understood the severity of the matter and ordered the immediate closure of the hotel. Meanwhile, Qin Feng was automatically upgraded to a presidential suite and was provided the highest ss of service.

    The night was not exactly a peaceful one, but that did not stop Qin Feng from having a good night¡¯s sleep.

    Meanwhile, a lot of eyes were wide awake and spying on him in the dark.

    ¡°Three billion is no easy task. Even Thousand-face has failed.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, that b*tch has no skills anyway!¡±

    ¡°We shouldy low for now. After all, we are still inside Niumeng City. It¡¯s not worth risking our lives for the money before we are sure about the situation.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s be patient and see how things develop. We are clearly not the only ones aiming for his head.¡±

    Some of them who received the kill order had grouped up, while a few brave souls had decided to act alone.

    The different parties were wary of each other since everyone was targeting the same goal¡ªQin Feng¡¯s head, and the three billion reward offered by the Xue family.

    The first night passed without furthermotion despite the tension as all parties tacitly decided to wait it out.

 Chapter 284 - Ambush

    <h4>Chapter 284: Ambush</h4>

    Qin Feng did not hide indoors the next day.

    He went out as usual because it was the opening of the Battlegod Tomb.

    Qin Feng was not going to miss such an important date, though he knew the short trip there would not be a peaceful one. Qin Feng would show no mercy to anyone who dares to block his path and did not mind killing dozens of assassins as warm-up.

    After having breakfast, Qin Feng descended to the lobby with Xiao Bai in his arms. They were ready to check out of the hotel.

    A person walked toward him as soon as he exited the lift.

    The man wore a tailor-made battle suit. A sigil disying E5 was hanging handsomely on his chest.

    He was obviously not an assassin judging by his upright posture.

    His battle suit clearly indicated that he was a uniformed personnel. Qin Feng immediately recognized the uniform as the one worn by the patrol unit of Niumeng City.

    ¡°Nice to meet you, Bloodhunter.¡± The man offered a handshake and introduced himself. ¡°My name is Liu Lei, themander of the Niumeng patrol troop¡¯s fifth battalion.¡±

    Qin Feng raised his eyebrow.

    ¡°My purpose here today is to escort you out and ensure your safety. As you might have heard, the Xue family has put a price on your headst night. A lot of killers have infiltrated the city since then. For your safety and the city¡¯s security, please forgive us for the inconvenience caused.¡±

    Qin Feng red at him and said, ¡°Since you have asked for my forgiveness, I suppose you understand how inappropriate your request is.¡±

    Liu Lei dared not offend Qin Feng. This was a man who could even defeat a D-tier ancient warrior.

    A lot of people were busy guessing Bloodhunter¡¯s true identity now. But no matter what, he was definitely out of Liu Lei¡¯s league.

    ¡°Mr. Bloodhunter, I know this would restrict your personal freedom but we are doing it to protect you!¡±

    ¡°Do I look like I need your protection?¡± Qin Feng snorted.

    Liu Lei expected the response and answered hurriedly, ¡°At least we can stop people from harassing you. Please be cooperative with us until you leave Niumeng city.¡±

    Qin Feng fetched his Silver Bolt with a gesture and said, ¡°I don¡¯t need your protection. I am leaving Niumeng now.¡±

    Liu Lei was surprised that Qin Feng had chosen to leave so soon. Regardless, it was the best-case scenario for them that Qin Feng would willingly bring his trouble out of Niumeng City.

    ¡°Please allow us to send you off.¡±

    ¡°Whatever.¡± Qin Feng started his car and drove out of the hotel. More than ten patrol cars convoyed around his Silver Bolt to keep Qin Feng ¡°safe¡±.

    Those who watched in silence were irked by what they saw.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is the patrol troop escorting him?¡±

    ¡°What is Liu Lei plotting? Is he here to interfere?¡±

    ¡°Ask for intel, quick.¡±

    These assassins had their eyes and ears everywhere. It was no surprise that one or two of their informants were among the forty personnels escorting Qin Feng.

    They soon learned that Qin Feng was exiting the city and Liu Lei was just seeing him off.

    ¡°Let¡¯s do this outside of Niumeng.¡±

    ¡°What a daring guy. I would not have opted to leave town at such a timing.¡±

    ¡°Hmph, what an arrogant piece of sh*t. I am going to im the reward this time.¡±

    The assassins moved out as quickly as they could after confirming Qin Feng¡¯s intentions.

    They could n an ambush ahead since Qin Feng was moving rtively slow on wheels at the moment.

    Qin Feng could not care less. He would not back down from anyone trying to take his life. It was their choice to be his enemies, not his. Hence, he would not go easy on them.

    The convoy cruised steadily out of Niumeng City. The car in the front shed a double signal and stopped at the side.

    Liu Lei alighted and walked toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, we will part ways here.¡±

    Qin Feng scoffed and did not even bother to roll down the window. He changed his car into hover mode and drove off at full speed.

    ¡°Sigh.¡± Liu Lei realized they were at fault this time. But the higher ups from Niumeng were left with no choice since Bloodhunter had aggravated none other than a renowned ancient warrior family.

    Qin Feng¡¯s car quickly went out of sight and out of the protection of Niumeng City.

    His Silver Bolt had traveled a considerable distance after five minutes. It was indeed a speedy hovercraft.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng realized that he was being targeted by two conscious energies.

    Pew! Pew!

    Two yellowish missiles were chasing after the craft.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Qin Feng sneered and stored the Silver Bolt back into his spatial equipment. He then stood imposingly in the middle of the highway.

    The two missiles were iing fast.

    Of course, Qin Feng would not risk exposing himself by reflecting the missiles using his conscious energy.

    The reflexes and defensive prowess of an ancient warrior were more than enough for him to deal with the two missiles. Qin Feng expanded his internal force to form a protective field that covered his entire body.

    This was a defensive skill usually mastered only by D-tier aptitude users. Qin Feng could execute it easily owing to his enormous internal strength.

    Not only that but Qin Feng dexterously dodged the missiles the moment they almost hit him. The assaulters did not have enough time to change the course of the missiles as Qin Feng was too fast.

    Boom! Boom!

    The two missiles hit the ground.

    The explosions sshed the rocks and sand off the road, which hit Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shield. The shield was slightly rippled but its energy was hardly exhausted. The attack did not even smudge Qin Feng¡¯s suit.

    ¡°Stop making fun of yourself using such aughable trick.¡± Qin Feng infused his tone with internal force and delivered his mockery far and wide.

    That failed to draw out the ambushers.

    They were still observing closely while contemting their next step. Everyone wanted to be the third dog*.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, would not wait passively and charged right at them.

    It was just like having a stroll in the park for him but his pace was rather fast.

    The ambushers panicked when they saw Qin Feng making the first move.

    Apparently, they did not expect the missiles to do Qin Feng any harm. It was simply to stop Qin Feng from getting away with his hovercraft.

    That had been achieved but it seemed that they had little idea on what to do next. A dogfight was imminent.

    Finally, the first person got sick of hiding and stepped out. Many would soon follow. To be honest, it was not difficult to guess their thoughts.

    If those who came out first were to sessfully assassinate Qin Feng and run away with his body, then those who emergeter would have gained nothing.

    They must get a piece of Qin Feng no matter what. The allure of the three billion reward was hard to resist.

    That was almost the worth of an E-tier beast king like Drakocrocs. Its skin could be used to forge many equipment and wear.

    In other words, three billion was equivalent to a full set of king-tier items.

    Nheless, not everyone could earn money as easily and as fast as Qin Feng. On average, an E-tier aptitude user could only pocket one hundred to two hundred million each time they carried out a deadly mission.

    Hence, to them, Qin Feng was no longer a person but a walking bag of gold.

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    ¡°Die!¡±

    ¡°Everyone, attack!¡±

    These people came out from their hiding and jumped at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng smirked.

    ¡®Can¡¯t wait for your turn to die, eh?¡¯

    There was a total of thirty of them.

    Qin Feng showed no fear despite being heavily outnumbered.

    *Trantor¡¯s note: The third dog reference originated from the phrase ¡°While two dogs fight for a bone, a third runs away with it¡±.

 Chapter 285 - One Kill For Every Ten Steps

    <h4>Chapter 285: One Kill For Every Ten Steps</h4>

    ¡°Those who kill will eventually be killed by others!¡±

    Qin Feng spoke without any emotions as he identified the first ancient warrior who was the first to rush toward him.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    ¡°Phantom Motion Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng remained extremely stealthy without reducing any of his lightning speed.

    Massive internal force instantly shattered his opponent¡¯s protective internal energy, it was merely an unworthy opponent that had no protection left and did not deserve any attention from Qing Feng.

    His internal strength was truly overpowered.

    Poof!

    A decapitated skull was tossed up to the sky while blood squirted all around.

    One down!

    Qin Feng turned around with his enormous internal strength that had emerged and began his ughtering feast.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    Amidst chaotic screaming that was heard in the surroundings, the throat of a gunner was being slit through while fresh blood dripped from his mouth, he had lost all of his energy and his body fell onto the ground.

    ¡°How could this be...¡±

    An ability user could not believe it when he witnessed Qin Feng who was able to withstand his fiery attack thatnded back onto himself, and his ribs cracked into pieces!

    The massive energy had rolled over the ability user and ttened his body.

    Qin Feng¡¯s ughter!

    Nobody could get a hold of Qin Feng who had mastered his Phantom Motion Steps, and some had even injured themselves by their blind attacks!

    The battle had only taken ce for ten minutes, and there were already more than twenty who had died!

    There were more than ten of them that were left behind and were haunted by fear.

    What sort of enemy were they battling against?

    ¡°Retreat!¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t fight him!¡±

    ¡°It is not worth it to risk our lives without any reward!¡±

    Everyone began to back off.

    Qin Feng stood still and did not have the intention to hunt everyone down.

    He raised both of his hands and looted every valuable item from all of the people that were dead, and regardless of who they were to Qin Feng, all dead bodies were decapitated.

    Some of them might even be worth some extra bounty if they were on the list of wanted people.

    Those who were hidden in the dark were frightened by Qin Feng¡¯s actions.

    Now, everyone felt that this Bloodhunter was as equally dangerous as the Xue family.

    Qin Feng continued to maintain his high profile and walked on the main road without using his hovercraft.

    As soon as the first round of assassination had ended, unsurprisingly, the Xue family had sent someone to find out what the oue was.

    They came for a sole purpose, which was to retrieve Xue Yuheng¡¯s spatial rune equipment worth about ten billion.

    It was surprising for them that the E-tier aptitude users were being killed in such a terrible way.

    The news had alerted the Xue family and had everyone shocked.

    ¡°B*stard!¡± Xue Yukui became furiously agitated by the recordings from themunicator.

    Meanwhile, the fear in Xue Yukui had also grown stronger as well.

    Everyone remained silent as they noticed that Xue Yukui was in a rage!

    ¡°Spread the news, the Fifth Elder has a rare treasure that is worth billions!¡±

    ¡°Seventh Elder!¡±

    ¡°This, wouldn¡¯t this cause the D-tier aptitude users to join in as well? By then, we will not be able to retrieve those items!¡±

    ¡°Moreover, what impression would the others have on our family?¡±

    The Xue family did not acknowledge the death of Xue Yuheng, and Qin Feng did not present any evidence to prove it as well.

    The fall of the elder from a renowned dark family, how disgraceful would that be?

    ¡°Shut up, do you all really think that nobody else would know if I keep it to myself? The other elders might have already made their move to spread the news that has caught everyone¡¯s attention, I want to create an even bigger mess so that Bloodhunter would have his hands full.¡± Xue Yukui said to the others.

    Everyone agreed with Xue Yukui¡¯s idea.

    ¡°I am going to get the Third and Sixth Elder, this time, it would still require us to take action!¡± Xue Yukui stated.

    They aimed to be the fishmonger that wouldest to in all of the rewards.

    The more that was killed by Bloodhunter, the more that the loot would be.

    Wealth was definitely something that they would not want to miss.

    For those who would go along to besiege Bloodhunter would undoubtedly be eradicated by them!

    The method that was being used by the Xue family was simr to when Qin Feng set a bounty on the Scorpion Corps, only that the approach of it was different.

    Despite the lucrative bounty that Qin Feng had set on the Scorpion Corps, nobody dared to take up the task.

    With the insane amount of bounty that was set on Qin Feng by the Xue family, many had tried to hunt down Qin Feng, meanwhile, the Xue family only had to wait for their desired oue in the end, it was a perfect situation for them.

    However, would the oue be the same as when Qin Feng set a bounty on the Scorpion Corps?

    ***

    Qin Feng went ahead alone on the road, he realized that there were still others that were observing him from hidden spots.

    However, Qin Feng ignored all of them.

    While none of those who were spying on Qin Feng were able to bother him, he moved forward along the road and noticed a shadow of another person.

    Qin Feng instantly halted in his footsteps.

    He gazed upon the opponent that was equipped with an entire set of advancedbat fatigue, surprisingly, it was D-tier purple rune equipment with a D2-tier badge on his chest.

    It was also very odd for the person to put on a mask to hide his identity.

    However, judging from the skin condition from the neck, he was most likely an elderly person that was over sixty years old!

    Qin Feng stood before him.

    ¡°Bloodhunter!¡± The person shouted and sounded slightly puzzled. ¡°I have heard about you and your case against the Xue family, as an elder, I wouldmend on your courage, however, you have gotten yourself into deep trouble, and you might not escape being hunted down by the Xue family!¡±

    Qin Feng remained silent and waited for him toplete his sentence, then, he replied with a question, ¡°As an elder, what suggestion would you have for me then?¡±

    ¡°I am aware that you are having Xue Yuheng¡¯s spatial rune equipment, if you were to give me that, I will distract the others from hunting you down!¡± The person replied.

    Qin Feng let out a sneer, ¡°You wish!¡±

    The elder took a deep breath and sounded more harsh in his tone.

    ¡°You are not appreciating my kind help, if you take up my offer, you might still be able to survive!¡±

    ¡°If you back off now, you might not die here!¡± Qin Feng replied with a deep voice.

    The elder was probably not one of the members of the Dark Coalition, he might even be one of the highly regarded people from the human alliance.

    However, he had made the wrong move in approaching Qin Feng!

    ¡°It seems like I will have to go the harsh way!¡±

    The elder was taking peaceful measures before using force, but the attack that came after was definitely a deadly one.

    After all, he knew that Qin Feng was able to take down Xue Yuheng, he would definitely not be any other ordinary person.

    He did not want to follow the footsteps of Xue Yuheng.

    ¡°I will seek for peace until others have crossed the line!¡± Qin Feng let out a sigh, ¡°If you really wish to take me down, then I will have to go all out with you!¡±

    If the elder was only being greedy for wealth, utilizing his D2-tier capabilities that was only aimed at defeating his opponent, Qin Feng would have easily spared his life.

    However, Qin Feng would not go easy on him now.

    Sometimes, it depended on how you portray yourself to the mirror.

    If you show a smile, the mirror would return with a smile.

    If you show anger, the mirror would also return the same!

    The elder that sounded righteous earlier had turned into a killer that was about to kill him.

    Boom!

    The massive internal strength from both of them collided.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    While the internal strength began to entangle onto each other, runes began to sneak into it, and hidden dark lights shined onto the elder.

 Chapter 286 - Battle Against D4

    <h4>Chapter 286: Battle Against D4</h4>

    Qin Feng went all out without any hesitation and gathered dark runes onto his dagger, as if it was shrouded by a ckyer of light.

    It was rare for dark abilities to showcase their presence, hence, some might not even be able to detect it.

    After a few rounds of battles, Qin Feng had managed to grab hold of an opening and pierced through the arm of the elder.

    Within a short period of time, the arm of the elder turned pitch-ck and deteriorated continuously.

    Any ordinary person wouldst for a short while but due to old age, it was obvious that the elder had a problem coping with the dark abilities that were devouring his life energy and striking a deadly attack onto his weak point.

    ¡°You, how dare you use poison!¡±

    The elder roared in anger, as if Qin Feng hadmitted some unforgivable sin.

    ¡°Regardless of ck or white cats, only its ability to take down its prey defines its capability, it is my own decision to use poison!¡±

    Since the elder was already aiming to take Qin Feng¡¯s life, why would he still be so hesitant, was he expecting Qin Feng to risk his own life just to remain an honourable person?

    Qin Feng let out a sneer and took the opportunity to drain out an insane amount of his opponent¡¯s internal energy with Asteroid Assimtion.

    A D2-tier ancient warrior would have two separate energy fluids within the internal strength of the body.

    There had to be twentyyers of them if they were to be transformed into a sea of clouds.

    The internal strength within Qin Feng¡¯s dantian spiked in leaps and bounds.

    The elder opened his eyes wide as he was shocked by the injustice!

    Boom!

    The repelling force exploded and the elder was being forcefully tossed away by Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    His bodynded on the road and it resulted in an instant death.

    Qin Feng took a deep breath.

    The exchange with the elder had left a few wounds on Qin Feng¡¯s body, the F-tier emperorbat fatigue was unable to withstand forces from the D-tier aptitude user, and there was a huge gash on the gear on his arm.

    However, he did not care much about those, he went ahead to check for loot and moved forward.

    After Qin Feng had gone far ahead, some of those that were in the surrounding approached and looked at the dead body of the elder that had just died.

    ¡°A powerful D-tier, who is he?¡±

    ¡°Shall we take a look?¡±

    With deep reverence toward the dead body, some reached out to take off the mask of the elder.

    Everyone was shocked as they stood still.

    ¡°He, I think he is the leader of the Lee family!¡±

    The Lee family was the leader of the second generation ancient warrior families from the Four Cities of the North Sea.

    Although the massive family might not beparable with the four major ancient warrior families, it was at the same hierarchy as the lord from Niumeng City.

    ¡°There are rumors saying that despite theirrge number, none of them from the Lee family are capable enough to take up the next leadership position, and all of them are wastrels!¡±

    ¡°Keke, so pitiful, this elderly leader came out just for the 3 billion reward?¡±

    ¡°It is not about the 3 billion, I would say it is because of Xue Yuheng¡¯s spatial rune equipment!¡±

    ¡°The Lee family is now doomed!¡±

    The discussion continued on and news soon spread quickly, Bloodhunter had killed the leader of the Lee family, instantly, everyone was shocked by the news.

    However, focus began to shift away from the death of the elder.

    ¡°The leader of the Lee family is highly skilled, would Bloodhunter be stronger than him?¡±

    ¡°Perhaps, he was also wounded, and he acted as if he was unaffected and left!¡±

    ¡°Now, he has gotten items from two D-tier aptitude users.¡±

    Instantly, jealousy began to grow among all of the assassins that were after Qin Feng.

    It was within everyone!

    The multiplying possessions that had gained him the enormous amount of wealth was insanely tempting for the others.

    Furthermore, Qin Feng was wanted by many others.

    They had evene up with a better idea, it was the same as what the Xue family had thought.

    Recurring battles.

    It was at that moment, as he walked on the road, Qin Feng was left speechless as he looked through the items that were looted from the leader of the Lee family.

    ¡°How is this possible? How could he be this poor?¡± Qin Feng browsed through the spatial rune equipment that did not contain much, with a quick nce, it would only be worth 2 billion.

    The level of poverty was shocking!

    How could a D-tier aptitude user be in such a dire state?

    Qin Feng even doubted himself for not looting thoroughly.

    However, it was because he did not know who he was, if he had known, he would most probably have figured out the reason behind it.

    Qin Feng did not go ahead to find out the person¡¯s true identity and it had nothing to do with him.

    He continued to move forward at a constant speed, and he was only able to go for another five hundred meters before he encountered another person.

    Iing bombs forced Qin Feng to withstand the attack with his internal strength, but the attackers remained stationed from afar without any further action, and Qin Feng was irritated by it.

    ¡°Do you really think you can drain out my internal strength with such a method?¡±

    Qin Feng was aware of the ns of his opponents.

    His shadow then instantly disappeared from the road.

    The ability users that were after Qin Feng were all shocked at the sight, they began to activate their conscious energy to search for Qin Feng.

    ¡°What happened? Where is he? He disappeared just like that!¡±

    ¡°Nothing returned from the search using conscious energy, did he equip something that could hide his conscious energy?¡±

    ¡°The mask is capable of avoiding conscious energy search, but would that also be able to block his breathing? What kind of precious item is that?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s mask was definitely unable to perform wonders but he could easily hide himself by using his conscious energy. He travelled at high speed within the bushes that paralleled along the road, soon, he was close to the location of the attacker thatunched the attack earlier.

    Without any hesitation, Qin Feng took out his dagger and rushed toward the gunner for a kill.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    The opponent covered his throat and fell from the tree.

    Qin Feng did not stop, and he began his furious ughter on every assassin that was hidden in the area!

    He took down about five of them and moved forward, however, he looked even more battered as the dposing ster had slightly grazed through his clothes during the battle.

    Then, he stopped moving forward along the road and took a turn into another direction.

    For the others, it might seem that Qin Feng was nning for an escape into the wilderness.

    There were a lot more that were risking their lives as they continued to pursue Qin Feng in the dark, and they were puzzled by the potential wealth that was before them.

    It was three hourster when Qin Feng circled around a giant hill and stopped by a stream.

    He seemed to be worried from the expression on his face.

    ¡°What is it? Not escaping anymore?¡± A voice was heard, filled with mockery, and it sounded like he was looking down on Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng fixed his vision on his opponent.

    It was a young man.

    He was about thirty years old, and had a well-built body that was about two meters tall, he was also wearingbat fatigue and his hair was yellow in color.

    His inner armor was silver in color, and it was a D-tier silver color.

    D-tier beast king inner armor!

    It was obvious that he was a strong opponent!

    Qin Feng was also rmed by the presence of such a strong opponent.

    ¡°Zhao Yingyi!¡± Qin Feng called out the name of his opponent.

    It was one the ancient warriors that would be very powerful during theter stages of his life.

    He was an active member from the Dark Coalition, and before the death of Qin Feng, he had even achieved B-tier capabilities.

    However, Qin Feng did not know that he was originally from the Four Cities of the North Sea.

    Qin Feng could only recall that his presence was in the middle eastern states!

    However, those did not matter anymore!

    Qin Feng only needed to know that Zhao Yingyi was a D4-tier!

    He had to be well-prepared to face such a strong opponent.

    Qin Feng had yet to organize his unsettled sea of internal strength clouds, with his fortyyers seas of clouds avable, it was coincidentally the same as Zhao Yingyi¡¯s.

    At times like this, difficult situations would require extreme measures!

    Qin Feng had his eyes locked on his opponent, and all of a sudden, he had an idea.

    ¡°Xiao Bai,e with me!¡±

    In the next moment, Qin Feng was already rushing forward.

    It was then, Bai Li instantly disappeared from beside Qin Feng, and in the next moment, she was already behind Zhao Yingyi!

    Zhao Yingyi was sharp in sensing his surroundings so he quickly dodged to the side.

    Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

    Three sharpened ws drew across the air and went past the same spot.

 Chapter 287 - The Xue Family Gives Chase

    <h4>Chapter 287: The Xue Family Gives Chase</h4>

    ¡°Beast King!!!¡± Zhao Yingyi was shocked when he saw Bai Li but it was immediately followed by a glint in his eyes. ¡°A contract beast? You¡¯re a really lucky kid, having a beast king as a contract beast, but do you really think you can beat me like that?¡±

    Zhao Yingyi was very confident. After all he was wearing the inner armor of a D-tier beast king, Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s attacks would have no effect on him.

    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t have time to dilly-dally. Those Xue family dinosaurs are still waiting to reap the benefits, I¡¯m afraid they¡¯ll catch up soon!¡±

    Qin Feng was quiet for a while, then he said, ¡°Then I won¡¯t waste time with you, after all I¡¯m not sure about dealing with a bunch of D-tiers!¡±

    Zhao Yingyi sneered, ¡°You sound like you¡¯re pretty sure of yourself right now!¡±

    Who was Zhao Yingyi? He had been called a prodigy at a young age and had a valiant kind of strength. All the ultra beasts he had fought before were D-tier, and he had killed countless D-tier aptitude users, even when he was E8 to E9 tier he hunted and fought D-tier gunners.

    That was why he felt that Qin Feng¡¯s battle record was not all that special. Maybe he was just a little bit stronger in the beginning, but Zhao Yingyi felt that this kind of person should be put down before they be too big of an issue.

    Besides, he got bored and decided toe over. The moment he saw something exciting he just had to be involved!

    By now the two daggers in Qin Feng¡¯s hands had disappeared, obviously he had stored them back into his spatial rune equipment.

    Then, another de appeared in his hand. It had a long and wide de that looked respectably heavy.

    It seemed to be filled with power, but the most important thing was that the de did not give off the special light that man-made equipment had. Its tier was unknown.

    Uncertainty blossomed in Zhao Yingyi¡¯s subconscious mind. ¡®Could it be? A God Weapon?¡¯

    When the Earth was invaded by the rifts, many long lost legends finally received their answers and there were items that could be used by humans with properties that could never be produced by humanity.

    They called them God Weapons.

    If that were true then he would have to be extra careful.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see if you really have real skills!¡±

    Zhao Yingyi pulled out a metal staff, a D-tier weapon that shone with silver light.

    This Zhao Yingyi had terrifying strength and a profound background. Qin Feng fearlessly charged toward him.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡± Once a move had been made, it had to be a sure-kill move.

    ¡°Thousand Dervish Smite!¡±

    Zhao Yingyi also pulled out tricks of his own.

    Withrge amounts of internal force flowing through their weapons, there was a resounding bang from the collision.

    They were already in the middle of a mountain, such a loud noise would have caused a lingering echo.

    Xue Yukui and the rest who had been looking for clues immediately turned toward that direction.

    Meanwhile, the battle between Qin Feng and Zhao Yingyi became more and more intense.

    For a moment, his consciousness tugged at him. He felt that his expanded consciousness had picked up the presence of multiple D-tier aptitude users.

    That must be the Xue family¡¯s people.

    This must be resolved quickly!

    With a flick of his wrist, he collided with Zhao Yingyi¡¯s weapon and sent him three meters back.

    Zhao Yingyi became more and more apprehensive the longer he fought, he had not expected Qin Feng to be so strong. The more he had this feeling the more he wanted to kill his opponent.

    When Qin Feng retreated, Zhao Yingyi immediately gave chase.

    In response, Qin Feng suddenly mobilized his consciousness.

    ¡°Magma Burst!¡±

    Boom!

    A scorching wave of heat rose from the ground and instantly enveloped Zhao Yingyi.

    Zhao Yingyi left himself open and cried out in surprise, ¡°Huh?!¡±

    Quickly expelling internal force, he took a step and bounded away from the column of magma that erupted out from the ground below him. When he moved, a pitch ck crack with silver light at its rim appeared at the area where he was dodging toward. He was not sure what that was but it definitely was not good news so he decided to avoid it.

    He might have avoided the first but a crack appeared behind him. Not only that, but in the blink of an eye the cracks began to spread, surrounding him from all sides.

    Pfft!

    Pfft pfft pfft!

    Zhao Yingyi¡¯s arms and thighs were suddenly shed by the cracks.

    Bai Li unleashed her power!

    Qin Feng naturally was not going to stop.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    A shroud that was pitch-ck suddenly covered Zhao Yingyi!

    ¡°What the hell?¡± Zhao Yingyi lost his own rhythm but his powerful internal force rushed out and knocked aside the space runes, instantly healing his small cuts.

    This was why D-tiers participated in the front line. They could even seal rifts with energy transformed by their internal force.

    The spatial ability was not invincible!

    However, this kind of ability was not something that could be so easily shrugged away. Countering it took a lot of internal force and the gain was not worth the loss. Qin Feng would not give up this opportunity.

    ¡°Dark Ray!¡±

    A beam of darkness mmed into Zhao Yingyi¡¯s body, causing him to suddenly feel very weak, and his strength had been greatly reduced.

    At this time, he realized what he had encountered!

    ¡°Fire ability and dark ability!¡±

    These were definitely abilities!

    Just what was Bloodhunter? An ability user and an ancient warrior?

    Zhao Yingyi did not have too much time to think because Qin Feng had already gone in for an attack.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng absorbed arge amount of Zhao Yingyi¡¯s internal force.

    ¡°Get off me!¡± With a swing of his staff, he managed to pull himself away from Qin Feng¡¯s absorption.

    Strength indeed.

    All of a sudden, Bai Li appeared once again.

    Zhao Yingyi¡¯s internal force had already swept away the Dark Shroud, then he saw Bai Li.

    ¡°Look at me!¡± Bai Li¡¯s eyes emitted a piercingly bright silver light, momentarily dazzling Zhao Yingyi.

    He was an ancient warrior but he did not have the consciousness to match the strength of a king-ss spatial ability user.

    Bai Li added, ¡°Stop moving!¡±

    Zhao Yingyi¡¯s body suddenly seized up and Qin Feng brought his de toward his neck.

    After struggling for a while, Zhao Yingyi managed to stagger backward.

    But it was toote.

    Qin Feng¡¯s saber had already cut into his neck, shing out a chunk of it.

    ¡°Hurk...huh...¡± For whatever Zhao Yingyi wanted to say, he had no energy to continue.

    Qin Feng approached him, knowing that his opponent had not died yet. Before the internal force in his dantian dissipates, he quickly struck his opponent¡¯s dantian with his palm.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    His internal force surged. Qin Feng¡¯s dantian¡¯s internal force felt like it was about to explode!

    After one day of battling,bined with Zhao Yingyi being a D4-tier ancient warrior, it resulted in the internal strength in his dantian reaching the limit of ny nineyers.

    He did not dare absorb it all and loosened his grip.

    Three D-tier aptitude users were about a few hundred meters away from him, fast approaching on his left!

    Qin Feng flicked his hand, melting Zhao Yingyi¡¯s body in hellfire after he had taken away the D-tier inner armor and other useful equipment. After picking up the silver light equipment, he kicked at the ashes to scatter them

    ¡°Darkness. Fire. Return!¡±

    All the runes were absorbed back into Qin Feng. If it were not for special equipment, it would have been impossible to detect fluctuations of power here.

    The only sign would be the ground that the magma pirs had suddenly erupted from earlier having turned into volcanic ash from the eruption.

 Chapter 288 - Entering the Battlegod Tomb

    <h4>Chapter 288: Entering the Battlegod Tomb</h4>

    These clues could not be left behind, or else they could expose Qin Feng¡¯s identity and Fengli colony would be met with catastrophe!

    ¡°Xiao Bai! Quickly get rid of the dirt over here!¡±

    Bai Li willed her power to create a massive ditch in the ground. Qin Feng followed up by hopping in and unleashing a few blows with his fists to further destroy the ditch.

    The enemy was already looming in the woods nearby!

    Qin Feng pumped internal force into his legs and frantically dashed forward.

    ¡°The fiend went that way!¡± Having perceived Qin Feng¡¯s movements, the three figures quickly gave chase.

    It was the Xue family¡¯s Xue Yukui, along with the Third Elder and Sixth Elder. The three were extremely fast.

    Qin Feng was not slow either. At this time, the internal force within his dantian was in turmoil, as if it was about to explode at any moment, the speed he put out was even more terrifying.

    He stepped over twenty meters in a single bound, moving up to one hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

    The three elders of the Xue family were hot on his tail and the distance between them was beginning to shrink.

    After five minutes of this wild chase, the distance between them was only fifty meters apart!

    Qin Feng consciousness quickly picked up the presence of a group of people. Out of all of them, the weakest was E-tier and the strongest was D-tier, there were up to five of them.

    He soon picked up his pace, increasing his speed again.

    Whoosh!

    Bai Li appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s arms. She had been at the sidelines, nning to unleash a killer move should Qin Feng¡¯s pursuers catch up to him.

    There was no need for that now.

    As they continued to run, arge mountain began to loom into view.

    It was surrounded by mist, giving the mountain an otherworldly and timeless feel. At the foot of the mountain was a stone tablet that was carved with three traditional Chinese characters.

    It was the Battlegod Tomb!

    On the stone tablet, there were countless smaller characters detailing the requirements needed to enter the tomb, and next to the tomb was a flight of stone stairs emerging from an open gate that resembled that of the main gate of a monastery, the only ce that was not shrouded by fog.

    Moreover, the gate was glowing with a silver light, which meant that it was obviously a spatial rift.

    Such a scene stunned the Xue family.

    For they recognized all the people that were standing in front of the Battlegod Tomb. People from the Four Cities¡¯ Yang family, Tieh* family and Hou family were all present here.

    They were all D-tier aptitude users, sat cross-legged as they absorbed the otherworldly energy that lingered here to speed up their training and cultivation.

    Xue Yukui suddenly thought of something and his expression darkened.

    Xue Yuan was originally going toe here to participate in the Battlegod Tomb and was killed by Bloodhunter before he got here. He did not expect the killer to actually arrive here at this very ce.

    ¡°B*stard, you think they can protect you? I¡¯m gonna kill you today!¡±

    The four of them, three chasing after one, soon arrived at the base of the Battlegod Tomb¡¯s mountain.

    The D-tier and E-tier aptitude users all opened their eyes and looked to where themotion wasing from, toward Qin Feng. His consciousness swept across the crowd and detected someone familiar.

    It just so happened to be Chu Yingshan who had told Qin Feng toe here to seek for opportunities.

    Although Chu Yingshan could not enter the Battlegod Tomb, when it was opened up, the spirit mountain would also open up. This resulted in the heaven and earth spirit aura of the area to be five to six times richer, making it suitable for cultivation.

    The Battlegod Tomb had not been opened for a very long time, cultivating here for a month and at most half a year sounded like a good idea.

    Now was not the time to reminisce, Qin Feng could not even say hello to the man.

    He was rushing forward in a mad sprint, not even slowing down as a jade token appeared in his hand.

    It was a Battlegod Token!

    He directly crashed into the mountain gate next to the Battlegod Tomb¡¯s stone tablet. The space rune on the gate rippled, and then Qin Feng disappeared into it.

    Xue Yukui, who was still giving chase, did not stop. After seeing that Qin Feng had gone in, he thought that they would be able to enter too and charged toward the monastery gate.

    Suddenly, the gate shed with silver light, and when Xue Yukui opened his eyes again he realized that he had reappeared twenty meters away from the gate.

    A spatial ray had shifted him.

    Swish swish!

    Two more beams of light appeared, they were Third Elder and Sixth Elder.

    On the gate, words written in characters from the ancient times appeared. For the ancient warrior families, it was not too hard to decipher what the words meant.

    [No Battlegod Token!]

    [No Ages Beyond Twenty!]

    [No Entry!]

    ¡°How¡¯s that possible? How did Bloodhunter manage to get in?¡± Xue Yukui was about to go ballistic.

    The monastery gate naturally had no way of responding to that question.

    The people on the sidelines, upon seeing this farce, could not help but speak up.

    One man that was sitting cross-legged, who had a Qiang*, a spear with a red horse-tail-like tasselshed where the shaft and de met, grinned as he rejoiced in the misfortune he was witnessing.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious? The person had a Battlegod Token and wasn¡¯t over twenty years old, that¡¯s why he could go in!¡±

    ¡°You piece...¡± Xue Yukui was about to start swearing, but after seeing the person who spoke he swallowed the rest of the sentence.

    It was Yang Mao, the Yang family¡¯s Second Elder.

    He was an ancient warrior of D5-tier strength.

    On the other side, a short middle-aged man who was sitting cross-legged, with an ¨¦p¨¦e resting against his shoulder also added in on the mockery, ¡°So that was the infamous Bloodhunter I¡¯ve been hearing about. I¡¯ve also heard that they killed Xue Yuheng, who would have thought that one of Xue family¡¯s elders would lose to some beardless child! What an embarrassment!¡±

    Xue Yukui¡¯s face flushed red.

    ¡°Tieh Lei, does this mean you want to duel?¡± The Xue family¡¯s Third Elder bellowed.

    ¡°Sure! My arms are itching!¡±

    The atmosphere between the two people was suddenly filled with domineering arrogance.

    ¡°Xue family, don¡¯t forget whose territory this is. You¡¯re challenging three families, are you sure this is a fight you want to engage in? Don¡¯t stain the ground with your blood, there¡¯d be no body or bones left to bury.¡± A woman in her thirties with a whip wrapped around her waist said sharply.

    Hou family¡¯s Hou Yangjiao.

    Not only that, there were two other D-tiers, and among them were the co-owners of two cities out of the Four Cities of the North Sea.

    These people naturally did things their own way, but they were entirely different whenpared to the Xue family.

    They were part of the Human Alliance.

    The Xue family was part of the Dark Coalition.

    They would naturally be in opposition, but nobody wanted to go to war. That would bring no benefits.

    The three people from the Xue family had pale faces and could only swallow hard and speak no more.

    In their hearts, they were wondering, why would these people be here?

    In fact, the Battlegod Tomb did not give them much benefit, but Xue Yuan had been murdered three days ago and that had put everyone on high alert.

    Xue Yuan was the Xue family¡¯s current prodigy, their family treasure, who ended up having the misfortune of getting killed off. The Xue family was also a group of cruel individuals, what if they suspected that it was the other family¡¯s fault and killed off the other family¡¯s disciples?

    Needless to say, Xue Linhan had really thought about it.

    As a result, the three families sent their D-tier elites over but did not expect this series of events to ur afterward. The Xue family did note to kill their disciples but they did not dare return and had been quietly keeping tabs on their surroundings.

    Who would have thought that this would be the final result.

    ¡°This Bloodhunter¡¯s not even twenty years old!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no one who¡¯s under twenty years old in the Battlegod Tomb right now. Doesn¡¯t it feel like we¡¯re just apanying our kids to the study hall?¡±

    ¡°There would surely be fiercepetition in the Battlegod Tomb. I hope that this Bloodhunter doesn¡¯t kill innocent people, at least he went after people from the Xue family and has the status of a bounty hunter. He should not be someone from the Dark Coalition!¡±

    Everyone had different thoughts, but they were all thinking about Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, the moment Qin Feng stepped through the gate, his sight shifted.

    *Trantor¡¯s Note 1: ¡®Tieh¡¯ is directly pronounced from the Chinese word ¡®Ìú¡¯, meaning ¡®steel¡¯ or ¡®metal¡¯. Tieh Lei could be read as ¡®Honest/Sincere Steel¡¯ in English.

    *Trantor¡¯s Note 2: While the original version for this would be directly tranted to ¡®Red-Tassel Spear¡¯(ºìÓ§Ç¹), the direct word for this weapon would simply be ¡®Qiang¡¯(Ç¹) as it means ¡®Spear¡¯ in Chinese.

    Also, an ¨¦p¨¦e is a weapon used in fencing. A kind of heavy rapier with a sharp pointed end

 Chapter 289 - Dragon Blood the Astonishing Opportunity

    <h4>Chapter 289: Dragon Blood the Astonishing Opportunity</h4>

    As soon as Qin Feng entered the area, he heard a scream

    This was not a scream of fear, but instead of pain.

    When his vision regained focus, he realized that he was surrounded by a blood red mist. However, although the mist was covering the whole ce, it was not dense enough to obscure his surroundings.

    He was in a huge square hall, the ground wasid with blue stone bs with wide edges between them that glowed with silver light. The sky above was blue, denoting that it was daytime.

    It was dusk when he entered the Tomb, time must be self-contained here.

    He looked forward, through the blood mist, brushing past the figures ahead and spotted a huge stone dragon at the furthest point away from where he stood.

    This stone dragon was way too big, it stood at forty meters tall and was twenty meters wide. It spewed blood from its maw that cascaded down into the pool below it like a waterfall fountain. The droplets that sshed upward became the blood mist, which was much thicker at the sourcepared to areas further away.

    At the moment, the person who screamed was up ahead, rolling around on the floor and crawling away. There were also some people beside Qin Feng, each of them sitting down cross-legged, faces stained red and dripping with the blood.

    ¡°An astonishing opportunity!¡± Qin Feng took in a deep breath.

    This blood mist was definitely not harmful to the body, quite the contrary, it was a good thing. Qin Feng even had three vials of the stuff before, which strengthened his body.

    It was dragon blood!

    Dragon blood mist.

    However, with Qin Feng¡¯s current strength these mists would not even improve a half of his strength. Besides, he did not have time to think about this as he quickly sat down cross-legged and looked into his dantian.

    The seas of clouds within his dantian continued to shift, having exceeded the limit that it could hold and feeling as if it was going to explode at any moment.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    The internal force was quickly consumed. Except for the fortyyers that originally belonged to him, the other sixtyyers were quickly absorbed by his meridians and exported throughout the body with the excess returning back to him.

    He noted that Zhang Yingyi¡¯s internal force was quite solid, as the excess was returned back he realized that he had gained twenty extrayers of internal force in his seas of clouds.

    In other words, he was now six times stronger than an E-tier ancient warrior at their peak, he might as well be at the equivalent of a D6 ancient warrior.

    ¡°Huu!¡±

    Life or death situations bring in great rewards!

    Qin Feng nced at the money he had previously taken from Zhang Yingyi and inhaled sharply. From just a quick scan, it looked like he had at least sixty to seventy billion. Not to mention, Qin Feng also saw some treasures which had values that far surpassed the amount that could be measured by money.

    Zhang Yingyi was an elite warrior, someone whose strength was well beyond that of a normal D-tier ancient warrior. Today, he might as well have be expendable cash!

    The most important thing was that he had changed history! Those who had died were not dead and those who lived free and unfettered in the future were killed by him!

    ¡°I hope that the gusts that I¡¯ve put into the winds of history, this butterfly effect that I¡¯ve started, would be good for the future!¡±

    With the dark forces weakening, it represented that there would be growth for more of the potential younglings of the Human Alliance.

    When Qin Feng opened his eyes, an hour had passed since he began his cultivation. There were now fewer people around him, it seemed that these people were constantly moving forward.

    There were a total number of five thousand Battlegod Tokens, such was evident from the number of people in here but they were all gathered at the edge of this square and did not go toward the stone dragon. This was due to the mist being at its thickest within fifty meters of the bloody waterfall spray that came from the dragon.

    The Battlegod Tomb had been opened since six o¡¯clock in the morning and five thousand people who had obtained the tokens had entered therein. Since there was nopetition, they did not have any conflict, by now they had already gone through a day of cultivation.

    The people who became stronger from the dragon blood had naturally moved forward.

    Qin Feng picked himself up and began to move forward, feeling the dragon blood around him affect his body, causing his skin to tingle. It was not as irritating as the time he used the Drakocrocs to strengthen himself.

    He was only E3 at the time, now he was E8!

    As he continued to move forward, people looked at him with surprise. They thought that this person was moving too fast, was he not in pain?

    Naturally, these mists did not have an effect on him, he quickly reached the front of the five thousand people and found that there were only a few dozen people there.

    In fact, he knew everyone there.

    The four big families of the North Sea, the ones who would be strong members of the Human Alliance, the present geniuses.

    Some of them were the Dark Coalition¡¯s special talents.

    All of them had big backgrounds.

    But of course, one of them was a rather unknown young man!

    Zhou Hao.

    He was topless, only dressed in a pair of track pants. The muscles on his body contracted and were constantly being strengthened. The Golden Queen Ant sat on his shoulder, breathing in and out the mist in the air.

    The dragons were very powerful and could strengthen any creature. Dragon blood had high energy and strong fusion ratings which could be absorbed by all races and tribes.

    Zhou Hao had been absorbing this energy for a day now, his strength had jumped a few steps ahead and he was now an F5-tier aptitude user. Not only that, his physical strength had been doubled.

    This was the kind of advancement that some people would im to be against thews of nature. It was not too much of a wonder, Qin Feng¡¯s treatment of Zhou Hao was no weaker than how the children of the big families were treated.

    After all, Qin Feng only needed to train one person, not a small army¡¯s worth. The big families trained dozens of people and nobody had as many resources as Zhou Hao did.

    Having previously been strengthened by dragon blood, Zhou Hao was naturally better at adapting to it than the others. He had talent and was naturally at the top of the crowd.

    However, nobody around him was sitting cross-legged. The few young people were watching him in a highly alert manner. There were some people that had followed them, either being people from the same family or from the same city.

    In a way, Zhou Hao seemed to be very alone.

    Qin Feng directly walked to his side.

    Zhou Hao suddenly opened his eyes vigntly and was taken aback when he saw Qin Feng.

    He saw a haggard figure with torn clothing that was wearing a mask that used to be white but now stained gray. While he was cautious, he felt that this masked male figure was quite familiar.

    Qin Feng then began to remove his batteredbat uniform as he approached until he was about as dressed as Zhou Hao was. He sat five meters away from him, a distance that was not too far away.

    Qin Feng did not make a sound, but as he removed his cloak a furry animal rolled out of it.

    Three tails, white fur, silver eyes.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up.

    Qin Feng nodded in Zhou Hao¡¯s direction. In the eyes of the others, it was just a greeting, but Zhou Hao knew the identity of this other person

    ¡°Don¡¯t talk. Pretend like you don¡¯t know me. If there is any conflict, move closer to me,¡± Qin Feng said through an internal force transmission. He had high internal strength and was the strongest among everyone present so he was naturally not afraid of anyone eavesdropping.

    Zhou Hao pretended to be expressionless, he turned his head away and did not even dare respond to Qin Feng.

 Chapter 290 - The Battlegod Tombâ€™s First Level

    <h4>Chapter 290: The Battlegod Tomb¡¯s First Level</h4>

    When Qin Feng saw that Zhou Hao returned to his meditation, he didn¡¯t call out to him either.

    There was currently no danger within the Battlegod Tomb and he took advantage of this moment to activate Asteroid Assimtion. The move began to absorb spirit aura around him, and the surrounding blood mist rushed towards him.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body became covered in that blood mist and it was absorbed by his skin in the blink of an eye. His absorption ability was also working, but people wouldn¡¯t have known that, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be absorbing so quickly.

    He had suffered a lot of injuries along the way, this time under therge quantities of energy provided by the Dragon Blood he repaired them one after the other, allowing his body to recover to its strongest state.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s ability began to frantically and greedily consume the surrounding Dragon Blood. This resulted in a whirlpool appearing around him which reached out to suck away mist that was further away.

    The ability continued to strengthen his body and soon the thick fog was swept away.

    He furrowed his brow and opened his eyes.

    It wasn¡¯t just him, everyone else that had been meditating also began to open their eyes and scanned their surroundings. Some of them noticed that there was something different about Qin Feng.

    They were stunned for a moment before that turned into an alertness and hostility towards him.

    They came here for challenges.

    Of course they would naturally go for someone who had been performing outstandingly.

    Qin Feng didn¡¯t have time to deal with them.

    He got up from the ground and started to walk forward. This ce could no longer satisfy him!

    Originally, this would have been the limit for many top prodigies but for Qin Feng this was far from enough.

    As he continued to move, the Absorption ability continued to absorb the blood mist as if he had been turned into a figure made out of the substance. His body was being constantly strengthened, bing even more perfect.

    His insane behavior directly caused the concentration of the blood mist to decrease to a point where it could no longer satisfy other people¡¯s cultivation.

    ¡°Follow him!¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Someone ungodly came over? Just who is this guy?¡±

    The style of Qin Feng¡¯s mask made many feel that their questions had been answered but they were too afraid to confirm it.

    After all, this was too much of a coincidence.

    How could Blooduhunter, who killed Xue Yuan three days ago and provoked the Xue Family, be here? Wasn¡¯t the guy supposed to be E-tier or something?

    It didn¡¯t matter what they thought in their hearts, they didn¡¯t stop their feet and walked after Qin Feng.

    He quickly arrived about 50 meters away from the stone dragon. The massive dragon head was spewing blood that rained down like a waterfall. When blood hit the ground it rolled into the strange grooves carved into the floor and slipped back into the pool below.

    The droplets were of a different consistencypared to the Dragon Blood that he obtained from the Drakocrocs, he also discovered that this Dragon Blood was only E-tier. It could be absorbed by F-tiers and quickly improve physical fitness.

    Its was impossible for it to be F-tier as there were no Draconic Ultra Beasts and if it was D-tier, then all of these youths would have exploded and died.

    The Battlegod¡¯s Tomb was a ce where the Battlegod selected sessors, not a death trap set by a malign devil.

    He quickly walked to the edge of the pool and noticed a white jade staircase. As he stepped even closer he noticed that there was writing on the edge of the pool.

    ¡°Ten unshaking breaths in Dragon Blood and you may enter!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness spread out and through the bloody waterfall he found that behind the stone head was a huge body that had a cave in its center!

    ¡°This must be the Battlegod Tomb¡¯s first trial!¡±

    The Battlegod¡¯s Tomb took in many disciples, all hoping to bear its mantle. Qin Feng knew that after the tomb¡¯s door had opened, it would still open again the next year for people to try again at passing this trial. Still, those stumped by the first trial would still go home with massive reward.

    Dragon Blood was extremely previous.

    Not to mention the Battlegod Token¡¯s price could be raised to incredulous levels.

    Qin Feng braved the cascade of blood and stepped onto the white jade stairs.

    Once the stairs reached the edge, it continued to go downwards and then a few stones appeared on the surface of the pool that could be used as stepping stones but at this time, under the barrage of blood and how slick the ground was it was near impossible for anyone to stand in it.

    Obviously without saying, this didn¡¯t include Qin Feng.

    Dragon Blood strengthened his physical form and he had the physical strenght of an E-tier King level ultra beast. This kind of barrage didn¡¯t give him the pain like he was about to explode.

    ¡°Come on, bring it on!¡±

    Qin Feng began to wildly unleash his absorption ability.

    The blood washed over his body and continuously strengthened it. His physical strenght was increasing bit by bit.

    Originally, after killing so many ancient warriors along the way, the physical body had gained some enhancements but that was obviously not enough. This Dragon Blood felt just right.

    He devoured it like a madman.

    The other prodigies could only stop behind him, temporarily losing sight of him.

    Many people were starting to get anxious.

    ¡°If he can pass then why can¡¯t I?¡±

    ¡°Lets go!¡±

    ¡°How could he hoard the Dragon Blood all for himself?¡±

    With this in mind, they began to rush forward as well.

    That was when the pain hit and it didn¡¯t seem to stop. Although the Dragon Blood could enhance the self, the pain was unbearable and it hit at its strongest.

    This resulted in them being afraid of their bodies exploding.

    Before this, everyone had to make progress systematically, a gradual process that had not been broken before.

    Who would have thought that Qin Feng¡¯s arrival would shatter equilibrium and cause people to rush things!

    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll go too!¡±

    Zhou Hao also began to move forward.

    The Dragon Blood crashed down onto his body and there was a sudden pain.

    The skin and muscles felt like they¡¯ve experienced countless workout routines, resulting in severe pain and soreness. Something that was difficult to experience after awakening!

    ¡°Aaaah!!!¡± Zhou Hao roared

    ¡°Boom!¡±

    As if sensing Zhou Hao¡¯s pain, the Golden Ant Queen immediately climbed down from his shoulder and instantly erged her body. She stood over Zhou Hao, blocking the iing rush of blood and allowed Zhou Hao to breathe.

    ¡°No, Xiao Huang, get out of the way!¡±

    Zhou Hao¡¯s body twitched involuntarily but he sat cross-legged and continued to focus on his internal force.

    Xiao Huang moved away, at the same time greedily consuming the Dragon Blood. The endurance of Ultra Beasts was far greater than that of humans!

    The others weren¡¯t so lucky to have a contract beast to escort them and even fainted because of the pain. Without internal strenght, the power of the Dragon Blood had nowhere to go and thus muddled up the meridians.

    There wasn¡¯t a fortunate event where when one faints they would still gain strenght without experiencing pain.

    ¡°Reversal Mend!¡± Zhou Hao felt the internal force inside Xiao Huang¡¯s body and used Reversal Mend to speed up the cirction of his own internal power, quickly absorbing the Dragon Blood.

    Person and beast worked together, naturally their progress was much faster than everyone else¡¯s and were able to absorb more than everyone else.

    Gradually, the pain began to numb until it was but a tingle.

    Unknowingly, his strenght had increased to F6 tier.

    In one day, Zhou Hao had climbed up two tiers, such a feat really was enviable.

    ¡°Lets go!¡± Zhou Hao continued to walk forward, not realizing that the surrounding waterfall seemed to have gotten smaller.

 Chapter 291 - Pristine Lotus Parterre

    <h4>Chapter 291: Pristine Lotus Parterre</h4>

    Below the dragon-headed waterfall, Qin Feng had managed to take in ten breaths by now and in fact only about a minute had passed.

    Yet he did not intend to leave, his entire body was enveloped in a dark glow that was visible to the naked eye.

    The absorption ability had burst outpletely. Just as he could consume the flesh and blood of ultra beasts to strengthen his body, the blood that he was absorbing would keep on adding to his physical strength.

    As the blood was absorbed into his skin, it briefly left behind dried up stains that were quickly washed away by the dragon-headed waterfall.

    At the same time, Bai Li hopped off Qin Feng with a strange light shining all around her body, seeming to have superseded the space there.

    Then, her head reached toward the pool of dragon blood and she began top uprge quantities of it.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li both drank ravenously, and no matter how much blood there was it could not handle this manner of consumption!

    Crack-krak!

    Qin Feng¡¯s body burst out in a noise that sounded like an explosion, and his aura became an unconceble eruption.

    E9 tier!

    There was no way to cover up this kind of aura, after all, these were the effects of advancement and it swept over those present.

    Everyone felt the overpowering force of the intimidating aura, and all those present were dumbfounded!

    ¡°E9 tier...? How¡¯s that possible?¡±

    ¡°What, why? This person is...¡±

    ¡°Bloodhunter, he must be Bloodhunter, the guy who killed Xue Yuan!¡±

    A bunch of the ancient warrior family¡¯s prodigies finally figured out Qin Feng¡¯s identity.

    For a moment, everyone felt that they had just had a brief encounter with something that came out of legends.

    There was only one person left who was surprised, but not in despair, it was Zhou Hao!

    ¡®Could it be? Qin Feng¡¯s already E9 tier!¡¯

    Zhou Hao was shocked. After all, Qin Feng was strong but he had never been properly verified. That E-tier aptitude user badge was issued by Fu City!

    Now, in just a few months, Qin Feng was actually E-tier!

    He could not believe it.

    At this time, as Qin Feng had advanced, the blood flowing from the dragon¡¯s mouth was gradually decreasing in volume. It was a flow that was originally more than ten meters wide but now it seemed to be only around three meters and its momentum was starting to get sluggish.

    Naturally, there was less blood sshing out the more Qin Feng absorbed. This caused the other teenagers who had originally been deterred to approach.

    Only being a few meters away, they quickly reached the edge of the dragon pool and saw the almost dry fountain as well as the person standing on the rocks.

    It was Qin Feng, and not only that, they saw the writing on the edge of the pool too!

    If they could withstand the dragon blood long enough to take ten breaths then they could enter.

    ¡°There¡¯s not much dragon blood anymore, I¡¯m not sure if that counts!¡±

    ¡°But Bloodhunter¡¯s seizing it all for himself!¡±

    ¡°Sheesh, why¡¯s there such a strong personpeting with us for resources?¡±

    These youths were resentful, but they would rather be frustrated than actually do something about it.

    However, Qin Feng was still in the pool of blood. That column of liquid had been absorbed to the point where it was only two meters wide! Even as it was poured onto his body, it no longer felt as soothing as how it was before!

    It felt as if his body was charged with an explosive power!

    After hearing the discussion behind him, he furrowed his brow. While these people were probably sixteen to seventeen years old now, Qin Feng had the mental age of a twenty six to twenty seven year old, he ought to respect his elders and care for the young.

    But after ten years, some of these people would be stronger than him and some weaker.

    They were the same age as him.

    To do it again, when chance had been redistributed, Qin Feng would naturally scramble for power.

    He did not have a chance back then, so why not now?

    Thinking of this, Qin Feng stepped up his efforts and in the blink of an eye the water flow became only about a meter thick.

    ¡°Zhou Hao, when I move, you move ahead and get Xiao Huang to block everyone else!¡± Qin Feng whispered through his internal force transmission.

    After saying that, he scrambled forward and disappeared under the bloody waterfall and stepped into the cave within the huge dragon¡¯s stomach.

    When Qin Feng moved in, everyone else was immediately shocked.

    Zhou Hao was the first to move forward and stepped onto the white jade stairs.

    It was then everyone began to react.

    ¡°Get down here!¡±

    A boy about eighteen years old roared and tried to grab Zhou Hao, trying to pull him down.

    ¡°Xiao Huang! Go!¡±

    He immediately pointed at the teenager and the Golden Queen Ant immediately crashed into her target.

    ¡°Dammit!¡±

    How could this youth face down an F-tier beast king? Even if he was a prodigy, the event of facing a beast king in singlebat was an unthinkable and impossible task.

    Zhou Hao stepped onto the white jade stairs, and walked to thatrge stone pedestal, letting the dragon blood wash over him.

    ¡°Aaaahhh!¡± It was unbearable pain.

    He was lucky that Qin Feng absorbed a lot of blood, the force of the dragon blood that came down on him was not that strong and he could still retain his footing. His current movements and behavior indicated that he was in great pain, andbined that with the Golden Queen Ant acting as a blockade, nobody wanted to approach.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s physical strength began to rapidly evolve.

    After all, Qin Feng had an E8 tier beast king¡¯s body and could only advance slowly even if he frantically consumed dragon blood.

    Zhou Hao was only F6 tier. In theory, this dragon blood could increase his strength to the equivalent of an F tier beast general, which would be his limit. After all, he did not have the absorption ability like Qin Feng did.

    After enduring long enough to take ten breaths, Zhou Hao felt that his body had gotten extremely powerful. His physical body was even several times stronger than that of an average person¡¯s.

    He had almost reached the tier of those ultra beast generals and now had the ability to fight against F-tier beasts all by himself!

    ¡°Haha!¡± Heughed out loud, letting the dragon blood wash over him, not leaving.

    The others gritted their teeth, but there was nothing they could do. Fortunately, it seemed that when Zhou Hao was standing there, he did not seem to be taking as much dragon blood as that Bloodhunter guy did, which gave them some relief.

    After all, the only devil here was Bloodhunter.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng who had be the target of everyone¡¯s hatred, passed through a hallway inside the dragon¡¯s belly and entered a garden that was ornamentally decorated with flower beds.

    ¡°Ew!¡± Bai Li could not help herself from covering her nose in her paws as she whiffed a stinking odor.

    It smelled absolutely terrible.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes lit up and he let out an impressed whistle.

    This garden contained only one kind of nt, they were all spirit flowers!

    ¡°Pristine lotus!¡±

    Pristine lotuses were special things, growing unmarred from the mud like normal lotuses did but had an effect that was out of this world. For ancient warriors, such a treasure was hard to find.

    They were used to purify the body.

    ¡°The Battlegod really did think of everything! Dragon blood can improve the body very quickly but there are always impurities that can¡¯t bebined with the human body. Eating the lotus seeds can cleanse the body and its essence, making an ancient warrior¡¯s system even more transparent!¡±

    Moreover, the pristine lotus also had profound effects on ordinary people.

    When used on them, it was possible for someone who did not have ess to ancient martial arts to have a clear body, remove their impurities, unblock their meridians and give them the chance to be an ancient warrior.

    One could imagine how valuable these flowers were for some rich and powerful people.

    ¡°Only jade may harm the lotus. Only once per person. Greed is not tolerated!¡±

    This seemed very simple, but it was actually the opposite.

    Spirit herbs and spirit flowers were not necessarily without their dangers.

    Even darkglow herbs could defend themselves against humans, the pristine lotus was surely not any weaker.

 Chapter 292 - The Street Vendor

    <h4>Chapter 292: The Street Vendor</h4>

    The pristine lotus flower grew out of the mud unsullied, and the mud was not any ordinary type of mud. If the mud were identally exposed or rubbed onto one¡¯s skin, the toxin from the mud would seep into the human body, which would then affect the individual¡¯s training in the future.

    Hence, just because the pond was blooming with lotus flowers, that did not mean that the flower pond could be approached, otherwise even by just inhaling the slightest scent of the flower and mud, it could poison the human body.

    Qin Feng smirked as he picked up the jade bead that was left on the altar. He looked exceptionally rxed.

    Bai Li stood on Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°There is a special waymark on the bead and you¡¯ve activated it. If you go for the other beads, it will spread!¡±

    ¡°Yeah.¡±

    The Battlegod Tomb had its own rules. Since the ancient times, the chivalric code between the warriors had always been about keeping promises, not going back on one¡¯s words or to never betray their righteousness. Naturally, Qin Feng knew that he definitely had to follow the rules of the Battlegod Tomb.

    ¡°One is enough!¡±

    For Qin Feng, it was just a piece of cake!

    Qin Feng channelled his internal energy into the jade bead.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    With a flick of his hand, the jade bead infused with internal energy struck one of the pristine lotus flowers in the mud.

    Boom!

    The pristine lotus immediately exploded. It split into pieces and struck the other lotuses.

    The jade bead did not stop there. It exerted its remaining energy and struck the second lotus.

    Then, it was the third, fourth and fifth, almost forming a straight line.

    The lotus pool was a hundred meters long. Therefore, it was harder to get the ones which were further behind.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s jade bead had broken five pristine lotuses. The broken lotuses split into pieces and struck the other surrounding lotuses, then the tremendous internal force broke the lotuses and made them strike the other lotuses again.

    The lotuses that were struck the second time also shattered and struck their surroundings, but this time the remaining force seemed to be less strong, only causing the lotus pieces to knock out countless lotus seeds from the other lotus flowers.

    Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!

    The long-ripened lotuses flew up into the sky, exuding their enticing fragrance into the air.

    Qin Feng unleashed his internal force again.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion. Absorb!¡±

    The lotuses that were floating in the air were suddenly pulled into Qin Feng¡¯s arms, almost forming into arge ball.

    With just a single move, almost eight to nine-tenth of the lotuses had fallen into his bosom.

    In the midst of the internal strength sweep, several lotus leaves were also caught up in the absorption. Qin Fengid them on the ground and piled up the lotus seeds, the seeds were piled up on more than ten lotus leaves.

    In the outside world, each of the seeds was worth a whopping fifty million, and a single seed could make one¡¯s mouth water. Now, Qin Feng had more than a thousand of them.

    Although this was a fifty billion harvest for an E-tier aptitude user, the other youths would have gone crazy if they were to see it.

    Qin Feng sat down cross-legged.

    ¡°You should eat some too, we¡¯ve got lots of them!¡±

    Bai Li became more interested and jumped down from Qin Feng¡¯s shoulders. She grabbed a handful of the seeds and shoved them all into her mouth.

    It was crisp, sweet, and super tasty.

    Qin Feng also picked up a handful and began to eat. He instantly felt a stream of cool air flowing into his body, as if it was cleansing his body.

    In just a short while, Qin Feng began to sweat, and ayer of ck oil seeped out of his skin.

    The effect of the pristine lotus hade into y.

    The pristine lotus was probably considered to have E-tier benefits simr to spirit herbs. Qin Feng now had the flesh of a beast king, so one seed would not do much for him.

    With each seed, Qin Feng felt a surge of energy continuously cleansing his insides.

    The oil stains were slowly umting.

    Fortunately, not only was there a lotus altar in this garden, a small stream was also flowing by the garden. Qin Feng used his conscious energy to manipte the water stream and flushed away the oil stains on his body.

    After half an hour of constant eating and flushing, Qin Feng had consumed more than a hundred lotus seeds.

    Qin Feng felt that his body and mind were now pure and immactely clear.

    The murderous intent from before seemed to have gone away, and the trace of hostility that had once clouded his mind quietly faded away.

    The state of his mind had ascended significantly.

    ¡°Holy, this pristine lotus is good!¡±

    Qin Feng thought that the pristine lotus was a real treasure, no wonder the price of these was so high!

    Just at this moment, footsteps echoed within the passage. Zhou Hao walked in, and he was dressed in crimson red.

    With just a nce, Qin Feng immediately noticed Zhou Hao¡¯s physical condition. He had finally achieved the physical body of a beast general.

    Zhou Hao spotted Qin Feng as well, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

    But soon, his eyes fell on the lotus seeds that were piled up on the ground.

    Zhou Hao took a whiff of the floral fragrance in the air and took another look at the pristine lotus pond that was emitting a foul odor from a distance.

    ¡°This... this can¡¯t be the pristine lotus pond right? How did you get so much of these? You look like a street vendor disying the goods on the ground!¡± Zhou Hao said.

    Qin Feng was on the verge of tears fromughing at Zhou Hao¡¯s description.

    By taking a closer look at himself, his description was not too far off either. His top was missing, and his pants were tattered. In order to absorb the dragon blood, Qin Feng was barefooted.

    Now, it seemed to have turned into a pair of modified tattered shorts, he felt that he looked rather pitiful.

    The Battlegod Tomb forbade visitors from opening spatial rune equipment. Otherwise, the dragon blood would be quickly emptied out by five thousand people in just the blink of an eye.

    Of course, Bai Li was still able to open up her spatial space, but it would look suspicious for her to take out his clothes.

    ¡°Good thing that I brought something along!¡± Zhou Hao unloaded thebat backpack strapped on his back.

    Qin Feng was startled to see Zhou Hao¡¯s backpack.

    ¡°Why did you bring so much stuff with you?¡±

    ¡°Haha, I kind of foresaw that something like this would happen!¡±

    Zhou Hao opened up hisbat backpack. Inside, there were lots of folded up big pockets with all kinds ofpressed dried ultra beast meat, crystal boxes, as well asrge and small jars.

    The jars were originally empty, with the small jars stacked inside of the big jars. They were used to carry liquids during fieldbats, and Zhou Hao brought ten of them. They were now filled with blood. The number of packages had also increased from one to three, which were all now strapped on the back of the Golden Queen Ant.

    Without a doubt, these were all dragon blood.

    ¡°Wow! You¡¯re going to make big bucks from these!¡± Qin Feng had not even thought of this method, he was a little surprised andughed.

    ¡°Of course, I came here well-prepared, otherwise who knows what I would encounter!¡± Zhou Haoughed.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, this harvest is good and enough for you to advance to E-tier! Before I came in, I was pursued by some people and I didn¡¯t have the time to sort my stuff out!¡± Qin Feng nodded.

    The main thing was that there was no need for him to tidy his things up since Bai Li was still able to open her spatial space.

    As soon as Zhou Hao heard Qin Feng¡¯s words, his expression became heavy. ¡°Oh right, what¡¯s the matter with you Qin Feng? Did you get into trouble with the Xue family? You said you were being pursued, was it by the Xue family?¡±

    This was a hard topic for Qin Feng to clearly exin. Not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had sensed that someone wasing from the outside.

    Qin Feng even gestured to Zhou Hao as he began speaking with a husky voice. ¡°Friend, would you like to buy a bag of pristine lotus seeds?¡±

    The young maning from behind was Hou Fang, the genius of the Hou family!

    After upying the altar for half an hour, Zhou Hao finally left. The water from the stream did not seem to have reduced much. After all, the apparatus Zhou Hao had brought along was not able to fill up much of the water.

 Chapter 293 - Qin Feng Gets Everything While Others Could Only Savor the Last Bits

    <h4>Chapter 293: Qin Feng Gets Everything While Others Could Only Savor the Last Bits</h4>

    After Zhou Hao left, little did he know that the others had started to be more modest!

    After all, not everyone could bear the pain of injecting dragon blood into the body.

    The first person to test the waters was Hou Fang, who was the strongest, but he onlysted a minute before he rushed straight into the passage.

    At this moment, he simply wanted tough when he heard Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    ¡°A pristine lotus seed in exchange for my entire wallet? That¡¯s ridiculous, you must be scamming people with fake goods!¡±

    While he was having that thought, his vision cleared up and he realized it was Qin Feng who was sitting on the ground acting like a beggar, only his mask was still intact.

    As well as therge pile of pristine lotus seeds in front of him.

    ¡°Gulp!¡± Hou Fang swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.

    Zhou Hao also sensed Hou Fang¡¯s surprise and tried his best to contain hisughter.

    Zhou Hao had seen a pristine lotus seed before, and it was just a single piece ced in a beautiful crystal box. It was auctioned for 30 million, and the final bid was 63 million!

    There were so many of them here. Even as the direct descendant of one of the four strongest families in the North Sea, Hou Fang felt that even he could not get enough of that particr sight!

    Hou Fang really wanted to go up and ask if Qin Feng would still sell him the lotus seeds.

    Now, he really regretted not doing anything to Zhou Hao before this, otherwise he would have been the first one to arrive!

    From Zhou Hao¡¯s side, he saw the major change in Hou Fang¡¯s expressions. He found the breakdown of his reaction amusing and funny. ¡°Mister, no, no, it would be impolite of me to just take it. Just take as much as you want!¡± said Zhou Hao in a ttering tone.

    This was what an F-tier aptitude user should think of when it came to an E-tier user.

    Qin Feng also felt that Zhou Hao was quite a quick thinker. He had really thought of giving Zhou Hao some of the lotus seeds, but now it was impossible.

    Qin Feng continued in a hoarse voice, ¡°Yeah, follow meter, and I¡¯ll bring you along the way!¡±

    ¡°Thank you, thank you!¡±

    Zhou Hao took out some pouches and handed them to Qin Feng. He gave him three stic zipper pouches and Qin Feng filled up the pouches with the lotus seeds. Nine hundred lotus seeds might seem a lot when spread out on the ground, but once they were in the bags, three pouches were just right.

    Zhou Hao also gave Qin Feng a small pouch which acted as a simplebat backpack, which fitted right in his hands.

    The two of them had put on a show for half a day, which could be regarded as ganging up with a different identity.

    ¡°You go and have a look at that stone tablet, and take the jade beads to purify the lotus!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Alright!¡± Zhou Hao eagerly got up and went over to the side of the pristine lotus altar.

    Initially, Hou Fang was eyeing for Qin Feng¡¯s pristine lotus seeds, but now he realized that this seemed like a chance that everyone could have. He was instantly filled with joy.

    ¡°So, this is how he got the pristine lotus seeds!¡± Hou Fang¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Zhou Hao and Hou Fang walked to the edge of the flower bed at the same time and scanned through the words written on the stone tablet.

    With just a quick nce, Hou Fang grabbed a jade bead and examined it, then he observed the pristine lotus flower bed again. This time, his brows were furrowed and he was frantic.

    He discovered that the lotuses nearest to him were now all seedless, and there were parts of the nts where the petals were either removed or damaged!

    When he thought about it, he knew that only one person would dare to do all this!

    Hou Fang was let down!

    ¡®The Hou Family sent me out here this time, it would be embarrassing if I go back empty-handed!¡¯

    ¡®This Bloodhunter is too vicious!¡¯

    Hou Fang was about to explode with anger.

    At this moment, Qin Feng was guiding Zhou Hao.

    ¡°Channel your inner strength into the jade bead, then strike on the lotus to shake out the lotus seeds. Although your inner strength is a little bit weak, it is still enough to strike one lotus and let it bounce on other lotuses, then you will get your lotus seeds. The problem now is how¡¯re you going to collect the lotus seeds.¡±

    Not everyone owned the Asteroid Assimtion skill.

    It was possible to use inner force to grab items in the air telekically, but if the user was not prepared in advance and rushed through the process, he would lose the timing and the lotus seeds would fall into the mud, making it useless.

    Zhou Hao observed the entire process. Whenpared to Hou Fang, Zhou Hao clearly had the upper hand.

    Conscious energy.

    After consuming the consciousness fruit and having a bond with the Golden Queen Ant, Zhou Hao¡¯s conscious energy had continued to increase, and now his conscious power had reached F-tier.

    With a sweep of his conscious energy, Zhou Hao was the first to know the positions of the lotus seeds before Hou Fang. He shot out the jade bead that was in his hand.

    ¡°Whoosh!¡±

    The jade bead struck a pristine lotus that was still intact thirty meters away, then it bounced twenty meters backward and struck one of the lotuses within twenty five meters of the pond.

    Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!

    Five lotus flowers were hit with just a single strike.

    However, there were very few lotus seeds in these pristine lotuses. There were only five lotus seeds in one pristine lotus flower. At the very beginning, Zhou Hao¡¯s internal strength was able to shake five seeds out of the first lotus, but up till thest one, only one seed popped out.

    The lotus seeds did not pop out upward in a straight line. Instead, some were shot out for more than forty meters away, and even the strongest of internal forces were not able to do that.

    ¡°Collect the seeds!¡±

    Zhou Hao used his internal strength to suck in the lotus seeds. Some of the lotus seeds were heading toward him, but there were around five or six seeds that were shot out too far away and were impossible to reach with his internal strength.

    ¡°What a pity!¡± Hou Fang said with a pained expression. Although it was not him that was doing it, the lost seeds were still very valuable, and altogether that was more than 300 million lost.

    Just at this moment, the edge of Zhou Hao¡¯s lips lifted into a smile. He then unleashed his internal strength.

    Those lotus seeds that were far away were drawn back toward him.

    Hou Fang was bbergasted, only then did he remember that Zhou Hao could bond with ultra beasts, so his conscious energy was not weak at all.

    ¡®What kind of demons are they?¡¯ Hou Fang felt a sense of helplessness.

    ¡°Good!¡± Qin Feng nodded and praised Zhou Hao.

    Zhou Hao let out a hearty, proudugh.

    ¡°Thank you, kind sir, for your guidance!¡±

    Zhou Hao was still infatuated with acting on his part.

    Zhou Hao walked back to Qin Feng¡¯s side and sat down cross-legged. He grabbed a small handful of pristine lotus seeds and began eating.

    However, Zhou Hao did not consume the lotus seeds like how Qin Feng did. He carefully swallowed one seed and let the energy sweep through his body, then he continued with another.

    Qin Feng continued to strengthen his newly-elevated state of mind. He felt neither joy nor sadness within him.

    Hou Fang was still hesitating, but in just a minute, another person came out of the cave. It was the talented young man who had passed through the Dragon Head Falls.

    The young man did not take the time to take in the spectacr view as something else caught his attention. His pupils erged as he saw the pile of lotus seeds in front of Zhou Hao. If it were not for the Golden Queen Ant that was guarding Zhou Hao from the back, he would have rushed forward and stolen them.

    Soon, the man noticed Hou Fang and the pristine lotus altar.

    When Hou Fang saw that someone wasing, he knew that the longer he idled, the worse it would be for him. Finally, he set aside his worries and threw out the jade bead with a swish.

    Crack!

    The jade bead struck one lotus and bounced into another direction. It hit the second lotus, followed by a third, and then it fell into the mud.

    Moreover, among the three lotus flowers, only the second flower had lotus seeds falling from it, and the flower was thirty meters away from Hou Fang.

    It was fortunate that the second lotus was struck when the bead bounced toward his direction, which caused the seeds to fly out toward Hou Fang¡¯s direction. The seeds flew over ten meters, which was close enough for Hou Fang to use his internal force to retrieve them.

    ¡°Come here!¡±

    His inner strength exploded and he was able to retrieve the seeds telekically.

    Five lotus seeds went straight into his palms.

    Although he was not as strong as Qin Feng and did not hit as many lotuses as Zhou Hao did, Hou Fang was still satisfied with the oue.

    The talented young man who had just arrived was also stunned by the scene.

    To him, this rule seemed a bit too much, and it was really difficult to grasp the right timing.

    Unbeknownst to him, this was not actually difficult at all, it was just that someone here had made the situation more difficult for him.

    Qin Feng had gotten the biggest piece of meat, other than Zhou Hao and Hou Fang, others could only savor the fragrance of the soup, let alone having a taste of the soup.

 Chapter 294 - Daydreams are Attainable

    <h4>Chapter 294: Daydreams are Attainable</h4>

    Half an hour passed by, Zhou Hao had finished absorbing the pristine lotus¡¯s clean energy and his body was covered in sludge, which was much more than Qin Feng¡¯s.

    Zhou Hao also rinsed his body with the stream water. Once he got out of the water, his skin was clean once again.

    ¡°I feel cleaner now, maybe I¡¯ve also turned handsome!¡±

    He had brought almost everything with him but a mirror. He took a look at his reflection in the water and wanted to show off to Qin Feng so that Qin Feng couldment on it.

    As soon as he turned his head, he saw Qin Feng in his mask. Zhou Hao quickly swallowed his words, and it was a miracle that he did not hurt his insides while doing so.

    At this time, more people wereing out of the passageway, but they were at their wits¡¯ end when facing the pristine lotus altar.

    There were thirty people who had passed the first level of the test so far, and the number was still rising. Chaos had even erupted on the outside as people were fighting over the dragon blood.

    These thirty people were the best amongst the best. They were all under the age of twenty and were F-tier aptitude users.

    ¡°This Battlegod inheritance is really difficult!¡±

    ¡°Earlier, the dragon blood was a big deal to us. Now that we¡¯re here at the pristine lotus altar, the lotuses are so far away, it¡¯s almost impossible for us to do it with our internal strength!¡±

    ¡°Have you noticed that these lotuses are still fresh? The flowers are tilted and seedless, which means that the seeds were just taken away!¡±

    ¡°Who took them?¡±

    The person who was speaking immediately shut his mouth tight as his gaze fell upon Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    The strongest person here with the strongest internal strength.

    Who else could that be?

    Not only that, Qin Feng had an extra pouch in front of him, and one could only imagine what was in it!

    ¡°Never mind, this is arge area, so there might be other wonders here. Let¡¯s go explore the other parts of this ce!¡±

    These geniuses were obviously very disappointed and the crowd soon dissipated. It seemed like they were trying to avoid Qin Feng.

    ¡°You, follow me!¡± Qin Feng ordered in a hoarse voice, deliberately pretending to be cool.

    Zhou Hao hurriedly kept up with Qin Feng.

    There were quite a few white jade stone paths in the garden, each leading to a different direction. Qin Feng chose the path which led them forward.

    ¡°The aura here feels very thick. There were pristine lotus seeds earlier, could there be something else here as well?¡± Zhou Hao asked.

    This time, there was no one else around, and the two were already consideredpanions. Yet, they could not act like they were too familiar with each other.

    ¡°Could be a carrot and stick!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Zhou Hao had yet understood what Qin Feng meant when their surroundings gradually changed.

    A dangerously fragrant smell stung their noses.

    ¡°Poison!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned at once.

    Zhou Hao was busy covering his nose, but it was of no use.

    ¡°Go!¡± Qin Feng said in a deep tone.

    The two of them quickened their pace, but the further they got, the stronger the poison seemed to get, and Zhou Hao was starting to get a little light-headed.

    In the mist, Zhou Hao¡¯s mind had turned into a blur. Everything around him seemed so real.

    Zhou Hao actually saw himself walking out of the Battlegod Tomb with the inheritance. He had advanced to E-tier and was holding arge sum of money...

    ¡°Hao?¡± Qin Feng could see that Zhou Hao was poisoned.

    Fortunately, the pristine lotus seed could be used as an antidote to nullify poisons. Qin Feng opened his pouch and rummaged for the lotus seed.

    At this moment, Zhou Hao suddenly half-kneeled down in front of Qin Feng and looked as if he was holding something in his hands.

    ¡°Mengmeng, I¡¯m finally rich! Chengbei colony may be rich, but so what? I¡¯m now richer than your dad, so please marry me!¡±

    Qin Feng burst outughing.

    But through Zhou Hao¡¯s pupils, he seemed to be slightly sober, which meant that he was faintly poisoned.

    p!

    Qin Heng pped Zhou Hao on the back of his head. ¡°Stop daydreaming!¡±

    Zhou Hao snapped back to reality and instantly sobered up. He shook his head.

    ¡°What happened? Was that just an illusion?¡± Zhou Hao stared with widened eyes. In actuality, he had a feeling that it was just a dream, and he was notpletely immersed in it at all.

    After all, it was something that he had constantly thought about every day!

    ¡°Zhou Hao, I didn¡¯t know that you¡¯re so madly in love with Senior Lu Meng!¡± Qin Feng purposely used the word ¡°senior¡± to tease Zhou Hao.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s face instantly turned red, Qin Feng had found out his secret.

    ¡°Hey, it was just a thought, didn¡¯t you say that I was just daydreaming?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned serious. Although the mask had covered his face, his tone, however, was very firm. ¡°This may be just a daydream now, but it wille true once you return. Don¡¯t be so harsh on yourself, after all you¡¯re still young, so give yourself some time. Trust me, it won¡¯t take more than a year and you¡¯ll eventually get everything that you ever wanted!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth reversed Zhou Hao¡¯s death.

    The present Zhou Hao had a bright future ahead of him.

    All he needed was just a little bit of time!

    Maybe Zhou Hao had low self-esteem now due to his poor family background, but as long as he was willing to work hard and push forward, he could get everything that he wanted.

    It was not clear whether Zhou Hao had taken in Qin Feng¡¯s words or not as heughed, ¡°What do you mean I¡¯m still young, you talk like an old man in his seventies. Let¡¯s go, I don¡¯t want to take in any more poisonous gas, or I might get poisoned again and start having harem dreamster!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled wanly.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    The two of them continued to speed up their pace, but after going further down the path and taking a few detours, they finally encountered the person who had been the first to enter the garden.

    That person now had reddened eyes. Heughed out loud after seeing Qin Feng.

    ¡°Bloodhunter, you¡¯re not a match for me so I suggest you hand over all the lotus seeds! Wahahahaha!¡±

    The man spoke while wielding a weapon in his hand. He dashed toward Qin Feng in an attempt to attack him.

    Qin Feng did not even bother to dodge the attack. He extended his leg andnded a kick squarely on the man¡¯s abdomen.

    ¡°Wa!¡±

    The man screamed as he flew backward in the direction he came from.

    Then, he spat out pools of blood!

    ¡°There¡¯s a limit when ites to having dreams. Death awaits if one were to cross that limit!¡± Qin Feng sneered.

    The severe pain snapped the man back to his senses. After he saw that it was Qin Feng, his body began to tremble.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, I wasn¡¯t in my right mind!¡±

    The man picked up his footing and ran away, afraid that Qin Feng would go after him.

    Qin Feng expanded his consciousness, and he soon discovered that some of the ancient warriors that came in had fallen into the illusion.

    Some were fighting, some wereughing hysterically, and some were even crying.

    Some others ran back to the pristine lotus pond andughed out loud saying, ¡°Ha! I¡¯ve found a jade medallion, that means I still have another chance!¡±

    However, after he grabbed hold of the jade bead, he was instantly teleported out of the Battlegod Tomb by the spatial rune, making him miss the opportunity!

    ¡°Take ten more lotus seeds with you, swallow one if you feel deludedter on!¡± Qin Feng shook his head. He was also afraid that Zhou Hao would fall into his dreamnd again.

    ¡°Good, we should hurry up this time. We¡¯ll get out as soon as we can.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s go!¡±

    The scent and mist appeared from among the trees. Qin Feng did not choose the small trails, and with his strong consciousness, he actually knew the way.

    The two of them quickened their pace and soon passed through the garden and entered an archway.

    Behind the archway, a wall appeared with passageways on both sides.

    ¡°Only those who are qualified can enter!¡±

    On the door, there was an inscription withplicated writings, and it was not as simple as the ones from before.

 Chapter 295 - Secret Art of the Overcast Dragon

    <h4>Chapter 295: Secret Art of the Overcast Dragon</h4>

    ¡°What does it say? Why does it look soplicated?¡± Zhou Hao could identify one or two lines of the words, but there were too many characters that made him dizzy. He had trouble identifying the words, but he knew that Qin Feng was fluent with ancient Wuhan characters, so it was simply easier to just ask him!

    ¡°Not only does the dragon blood strengthen the body, at the same time, it tests the talent and strength of the youngsters whoe to im their inheritance!¡±

    Qin Feng also ced his finger on the stone b. ¡°The previous garden was nted with greed flowers, so one would require the pristine lotus to pass. This is a test for the state of mind!¡±

    ¡°You can only enter once you¡¯ve passed both levels!¡± Qin Feng concluded.

    ¡°So, is this considered a pass? They might as well just hand out the goods!¡± Zhou Hao was surprised. Dragon blood and pristine lotus were considered treasures!

    ¡°What may be strong to us, may be nothing to the Battlegods!¡±

    ¡°Got it!¡± Zhou Hao nodded.

    ¡°We¡¯re going in! Then, we¡¯ll be able to learn some new martial arts skills!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes immediately flickered with curiosity. ¡°What martial arts skill?¡±

    Qin Feng smiled slightly. ¡°A-tier martial arts skill, Secret Art of the Overcast Dragon!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Zhou Hao¡¯s eyes were instantly lit up.

    An A-tier martial arts skill was simply something that ancient warriors could only dream of.

    Overcast Dragon was one of the most famous parallel techniques, and was created in the Battlegod Tomb.

    It was a secret art that was quite popr in the end times and was very widely spread.

    However, by the year of Qin Feng¡¯s death, the parallel technique had not yet beenpletely disyed as no one had met the requirements.

    If the A-tier martial arts skill were cultivated to perfection, it could be used to fight against A-tier enemies.

    For example, Qin Feng had given Zhou Hao an internal technique that could be cultivated up to B-tier.

    The fact that the Asteroid Assimtion skill could reach S-tier was just a spection. After all, Liu Meng, who possessed the Asteroid Assimtion skill in the first ce was pushing himself forward and was even about to advance to the S-tier!

    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go and take a look!¡± Zhou Hao could not wait any longer.

    Qin Feng nodded and followed Zhou Hao as they walked around the wall and reached its back.

    The ce was a huge stone chamber.

    In front of the stone chamber, there were six doors. On the first door to the left, there were engraved patterns, which were obviously martial arts diagrams.

    The stances on the patterns as well as the flow direction of the internal force were very odd.

    ¡°This requires us to form our internal force into a mist ball, we can practice this. It seems like we have to pass a test on the second stage!¡± Zhou Hao said.

    ¡°Yeah, it looks like we¡¯ll learn the parallel technique once we push open the second door. Which of course requires strength!¡±

    Zhou Hao could not wait to practice.

    Qin Feng also followed the practice. In fact, he hade across the Secret Art of the Overcast Dragon in his previous life.

    However, it was only avable as F, E, and D-tier secret art. The B-tier was a rare market piece, not to mention A-tier, which was out of the question.

    Later on, there were even people who invested on the young talents toe to the Battlegod Tomb to seize the book containing the Secret Art of the Overcast Dragon.

    At this time, having been reborn, Qin Feng had prior knowledge and was able to quickly learn the technique.

    In just ten minutes, Qin Feng had practiced the parallel technique in one go. Since his system was strong, he could still learn F-tier secret arts in just minutes.

    ¡°This stance is so odd, and the way the meridians flow in my body is as painful as the time my body was reinforced by the dragon blood. This parallel training is not good!¡± Zhou Hao grimaced, but after he took another break, he began practicing again.

    In just a short while, someone else had appeared in the secret chamber.

    Surprisingly, it was Hou Fang!

    As the third person to reach the pristine lotus altar, he had gotten five lotus seeds. He fell into a deeper hallucination than Zhou Hao did, but after consuming the seeds he quickly sobered up and arrived here after a short walk.

    He was also excited when heid eyes on the Secret Art of the Overcast Dragon.

    After all, this was an art that could make him an A-tier ancient warrior.

    Qin Feng used his internal energy to transmit his message to Zhou Hao, ¡°You train here, I¡¯ll try the second level!¡±

    Zhou Hao nodded at Qin Feng, only then did Qin Feng get up and rush toward the second door.

    Without needing to use any strength, Qin Feng pushed open the door with one hand.

    Hou Fang, who had just arrived, had his jaw dropped as he watched Qin Feng leave.

    ¡°He... he has finished practicing?¡± Hou Fang asked Zhou Hao.

    Since they had gone through two hurdles together, and Zhou Hao and Qin Feng were good friends, they were proud of each other. ¡°Of course!¡± Zhou Hao replied proudly.

    ¡°He... What kind of demon is he?¡± Hou Fang could not help himself from saying those words.

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure either!¡± Zhou Hao replied. He was clear about what Qin Feng was, but that was something he could not tell Hou Fang.

    ¡°Some people are just gifted by the gods, and they aren¡¯tparable with ordinary people.¡±

    Hou Fang was left speechless.

    Hou Fang had been praised as a talented genius since he was a child. He had reached F4-tier at the age of neen, just like the hunk of Chengbei High School, Gao Linghan, who was also highly regarded.

    And now, an overpowered demon came out of nowhere and knocked him off his feet in almost every way. He felt like a frog under the well.

    ¡°Forget about it, carry on with your practice!¡±

    Hou Fang also sat down and practiced on the first stone b.

    Twenty minutester, two more people appeared in the chamber. Qin Feng came out of the second door and walked towards the third stone door. He also pushed it open easily with just one hand!

    Astonishment filled the eyes of the four people that were still sitting.

    Qin Feng disappeared behind the third door.

    ¡®I¡¯ve almost finished the practice for the first level of the Overcast Dragon, maybe I can try the second level now. Then, I might be the first to get my hands on the secret art book!¡¯ Thought one of the teenage ancient warriors that cameter. He stood up and walked toward the second door. He ced both of his hands on the door and gave it a mighty push.

    The stone door did not budge at all!

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    No matter how much strength he exerted on the door, he was still unable to move the door.

    Not only that, the stone door began to sh with silver light, and the teenager reappeared ten meters away from the stone door. Since he was still in a pushing motion, he fell forward face-down.

    The entire scene was hrious to say the least. Zhou Hao and the other person could not help butugh.

    This time, only Hou Fang did notugh. He could not force himself tough at all because he had just seen Qin Feng pushing the door open with just one hand.

    ¡°I¡¯ll do it!¡±

    Another teenager stood up and ran toward the door. He used his entire strength to push the door, but his face changed once his hands touched the door. He stoppedughing.

    Instead of proceeding, he backed away!

    ¡°Hou? Why don¡¯t you try?¡± The guy asked Hou Fang.

    Hou Fang did not dare to try!

    ¡°Forget it, I¡¯d better practice instead!¡±

    Another half an hour passed and more people filled up the chamber. There were now ten people inside!

    Creak!

    Qin Feng walked out of the third stone door. Despite the fact that he looked incredibly beaten, he still calmly walked to the fourth door and pushed it open with both hands.

    Creak!

    The stone door opened again!

    ***

    Three hourster, Qin Feng walked out and pushed open the fifth door.

    Inside the stone chamber, more than twenty people had their eyes fixed on him.

    ***

    Five hourster, the number of people inside the stone chamber had reached over thirty. Some of these people were the ones who came upter from the Dragon Head Falls. Now that over twenty hours had passed since the opening of the Battlegod Tomb, everyone was starting to get drowsy!

    The fifth stone door opened up. Qin Feng walked out of it and toward the sixth door.

 Chapter 296 - The Ruling Stone of Secret Territory

    <h4>Chapter 296: The Ruling Stone of Secret Territory</h4>

    Qin Feng was surprised and he opened his eyes wide.

    ¡°Overcast Dragon, explode!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately activated the hidden skill, and the energy within his body spiked once again.

    Boom!

    A loud explosion echoed within the stone chamber and awakened everyone who was about to fall asleep.

    Then, everyone witnessed Qin Feng¡¯s shadow that had disappeared from the sixth stone entrance.

    Everyone was shocked as they stared at the enclosed stone entrance!

    ¡°I wonder how powerful the sixth level would be, however, it feels as if something is missing!¡± Qin Feng wondered out loud.

    Although thepletion of practicing Overcast Dragon could result in the capabilities to go against an A-tier ultra beast, the entry requirement to begin on the practice was rather low.

    The first level only had an F-tier requirement to begin practising.

    The secondyer required one¡¯s physical capabilities to be one of an F3-tier beast soldier, and the thirdyer required that of an F6-tier beast general. Zhou Hao could instantly begin his attempt, and it was the greatest reward for a top tier genius to be within the Battlegod Tomb!

    The requirement paralleled the levels and increased gradually, with the level requirements being at E5-tier beast soldier, E8-tier beast general, and the sixthyer which was D5-tier beast general!

    However, Qin Feng felt that something seemed off, if these were the only requirements, the Overcast Dragon would appear to be a little bit too weak.

    Qin Feng continued to move forward and went through a passage that stretched for about ten meters, he was instantly surprised by the scene ahead.

    It was no longer the stone chamber that was dimly lit earlier.

    This stone chamber was much bigger!

    It was surrounded by night glowing pearls that lit up the chamber with their glow.

    A rectangr offering table was ced before Qin Feng while a jade sculpture stood behind the table, and it was vividly depicting a middle-aged man that stood upright and tall.

    Battlegod!

    Instantly, voices apanied with internal strength were heard around the area.

    ¡°Three bows to honor me as the master, and to take up my mantle! Receive every knowledge that I have gathered during my entire lifetime, and raise my name, or follow your own wish and seek for freedom, there is no insistence...¡±

    Voices from the Battlegod were constantly heard, while Qin Feng fixed his gaze onto the stone container that was offered on the table.

    The container would most probably contain the spatial rune equipment of the Battlegod!

    ¡°The hidden skill on the stone container will be released with a single touch!¡± Suddenly, Bai Li warned.

    Qin Feng raised his eyebrow.

    ¡°The second half of the hidden skill is on the cushion, if the first contact is on the cushion, then, taking the container will not activate the spatial rune, if you prefer, I can wipe away the runes that are on the container for you!¡± Bai Li suggested.

    ¡°It is alright, it will not be too much of a hassle to honor the elder with bows, after all, the reward is given by the elder!¡±

    Qin Feng did not mind paying his respects to the deceased in order to obtain reward from the Battlegod.

    He immediately kneeled down and paid his respects, only then, he reached out to the stone container that contained a ne within.

    A pale grey stone with the size of a quail egg was connected to the ne, and it was emitting a radiant glow.

    ¡°Ruling Stone of Secret Territory!¡±

    Qin Feng was extremely shocked.

    The item would allow him to control the entire Secret Territory of the Battlegod!

    Qin Feng grabbed onto the stone, and it was as if he was instantly being enhanced with God¡¯s view that could observe everything within the entire space.

    There were more than four thousand people that were practising at the Dragon Head Waterfall, while there only about five hundred people that had entered into the Pristine Lotus Alter and lost their way within the garden.

    Surprisingly, there were more than forty people that had entered the hidden chamber that was filled with carvings of the Overcast Dragon.

    Furthermore, Zhou Hao had managed to open the stone entrance of the second level and entered into the chamber!

    ¡°Come!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his conscious energy and disappeared from his spot along with Zhou Hao who was at the second level of the stone chamber.

    Zhou Hao was unaware of what was happening, he struggled to focus on his vision and the next moment, when he opened his eyes, he was already standing before a majestic hall that wasbelled with gigantic words.

    Battlegod Shrine.

    Zhou Hao was at a loss for words, and he was aroused with extreme excitement.

    ¡°No way, is this true? Would it be my outstanding talent that had caught the interest of the Battlegod, am I going to be the one to inherit the exceptional skills?¡±

    Qin Feng was left speechless as he stood behind, taking in all that Zhou Hao had uttered.

    ¡°Stop dreaming, you wish!¡±

    Zhou Hao immediately turned around and saw Qin Feng.

    ¡°Ah? Why are you here, has the Battlegod chosen you too?¡±

    Qin Feng was left in betweenughter and tears. ¡°What are you talking about, it was me who brought you here!¡±

    Qin Feng showed the Ruling Stone of Secret Territory that was on his hand and exined the use of it.

    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that make you the disciple of the Battlegod? Does this secret territory belong to you from now on?¡± Zhou Hao was extremely surprised.

    ¡°That¡¯s right! I can cultivate pristine lotuses that could bring in a massive amount of ie, and there are still other items left within the Battlegod Shrine!¡±

    There were also the Battle Skills Chamber, Practicing Room, and Secret Treasure Vault, and others that were within the Battlegod Shrine.

    The Secret Treasure Vault did not have much left, and there were only E-tier items that were unusable by Qin Feng, while higher tier items had been sold by the Battlegod to build up the Secret Territory!

    After all, the Secret Territory was made from extremely expensive spatial materials.

    However, the Battle Skills Chamber and the Practicing Room were still aplete whole.

    ¡°Hmm, hurry up, there are still others within the Battlegod Secret Territory, there might be some that are still fighting for dragon blood at the first stage, same goes to those that are still at the second stage fighting for the pristine lotuses, send them out first, and all of these precious rewards will be yours!¡± Zhou Hao was ted.

    However, Qin Feng remained calm and replied, ¡°We wille back after a few hours, as it would be too obvious to send everyone all at once, and we will continue at six in the morning to give them the impression that the Battlegod Tomb is only opened for a day, it would be less suspicious!¡±

    ¡°Right, it would be a better way to remain unnoticed while we take up all of the rewards. Also, we would be leaving at six, and nobody would know that you already have the Spatial Ruling Stone of the Battlegod Tomb!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a sneer as he had the same thought as well.

    It would be pitiful for those who hade to participate in the inheritance of the Battlegod. After all, they practised for an entire month in their past life, only to find themselves being forcefully repelled by the spatial rune!

    Qin Feng had now obtained it so easily!

    Of course, Zhou Hao was also one who had benefited.

    Both of them walked toward the Battlegod Shrine and continued toward the Battle Skills Chamber, certainly, Qin Feng would also want to find out how the sixth scroll of the Overcast Dragon looked like.

    There was an unobstructed spot within the Scrolls Chamber that had three books ced on it.

    Overcast Dragon, Overcast Dragon Kill, and Dragon Steps.

    They were parallel training fundamentals, battle skill kills, and qing gong respectively.

    It was aplete set of core books.

    Qin Feng no longer had to worry about the avability of battle skills to train trusted aides and spread his influence!

    Despite being interested in two of the other books, Qin Feng chose to pick up the Overcast Dragon, surprisingly, the first chapter was totally different from the one that he had seen earlier.

    ¡°The Battlegod was indeed a wily old fox, the Overcast Dragon is supposed to be practised by submerging in the dragon blood bath, or else, the oue would be ineffective !¡± Zhou Hao said.

    ¡°Hmm, it makes sense, most of those who have practiced Overcast Dragon were only intermediate disciples that had managed to only scratch the surface, only core disciples would be able to learn theplete set of the knowledge!¡±

    ¡°Well, can I consider myself as a core disciple now? Since you were the first, does it mean that you are my elder now?¡± Zhou Haoughed.

    Qin Feng smiled, ¡°That¡¯s not a bad idea, I was originally nning to address you as my elder brother since you were born one month before me, and now, it feels good to be an elder of yours.¡±

    Zhou Hao immediately regretted his suggestion. ¡°I take it back!¡±

 Chapter 297 - Internal Strength Liquid

    <h4>Chapter 297: Internal Strength Liquid</h4>

    Both of them were equally amazed as they browsed through the remaining two books, Overcast Dragon Kill was a w skill that did not suit Qin Feng. However, the Dragon Steps that was a qing gong was something that Qin Feng was looking for.

    The Dragon Steps was an A-tier battle skill that required high physical capabilities which would allow high speed movements.

    Without any doubt, it was the skill that Qin Feng needed most.

    There were still various battle skills avable in the Battle Skills Chamber but ancient warriors would usually hold back from being too greedy and focus only on the best option, since three of the best were already there, the other options would definitely be set aside.

    The remaining ones could be used to cultivate the others at Fengli colony.

    Qin Feng and Zhou Hao recorded three of the books and left the original copies in the Battle Skills Chamber.

    Then, they went toward the Practicing Room.

    It was a small room filled with countless amounts of natural energy stones, the entire room was filled with all sorts of energy.

    The amount of energy intensified the deeper they ventured into the room, and it was a suitable practicing spot for those who were at a higher tier.

    It seemed that thergest Practicing Room was exclusively used by the Battlegod. Surprisingly, there was a gigantic energy stone bed that stretched to about two meters in length.

    The heaven and earth energy released from the stone bed had formed into a sea of clouds that was almost visible to the naked eye, the effect of an E-tier ancient warrior practising on it would be exponential.

    ¡°I¡¯ll take this one then, it is suitable for those whose internal strength is seas of clouds, and it would be extremely quick to advance to the next level!¡±

    ¡°Alright, I wille back for you, do not push yourself too hard!¡±

    ¡°No problem!¡±

    Zhou Hao began his practice, although it might be better to have a higher tier Practicing Room, excessive energy that was unabsorbed would bring an adverse effect that might cause tension and difort. Therefore, a slight increase in amount would be a better choice.

    Qin Feng instantly picked the Practicing Room that was exclusively used by the Battlegod.

    As soon as Qin Feng entered it, a sea of clouds of internal strength began to rush into his body.

    ¡°Great, with such a treasure, it would only require the blink of an eye to advance to D-tier!¡±

    Qin Feng sat down with his legs crossed and began his absorption.

    The overwhelming amount of seas of clouds of energy was being absorbed to the centre between his eyebrows, it then flowed and nourished every vein within his body before it submerged into his dantian.

    Soon, the seas of clouds within his dantian spiked.

    There was no explosive pain that followed, and every umtedyer of sea of clouds was from Qin Feng¡¯s practice.

    With the massive amount of absorption, the seas of clouds of energy avable in the room were disappearing at a visible speed.

    Any A-tier ancient warrior would require months toplete the practice on the energy stone bed.

    However, Qin Feng nned to absorb everything all at once!

    The seas of clouds were constantly increasing in his dantian.

    Seventyyers!

    Eightyyers!

    Nyyers!

    His dantian was filled with internal strength.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng instantly triggered his Asteroid Assimtion to advance further.

    Others might fail the advancement as they were unable to maintain the coagtion of thepressed water to a solidified state with their tenyer seas of clouds of internal strength.

    There was definitely a world of difference between a D-tier and an E-tier!

    Extremely high risk was involved.

    It wasmon for ancient warriors to fail at this stage.

    It was also safe to say that there would only be one out of a hundred E-tier aptitude users who would be able to advance to D-tier.

    Now, Qin Feng was already halfway through!

    Internal strengthpression.

    Boom!

    The ny-ninthyer of the seas of clouds seemed to be gripped by a giant palm and squeezed inward.

    In the next moment, a pool of water was formed at the centre of the seas of clouds.

    The expansion of the water pool urred almost instantly, and the pool of water submerged from the centre of the seas of clouds and arrived at the bottom of the dantian.

    D-tier¡ªinternal strength in liquid state!

    Change of properties began to take ce in the internal strength, while the internal strength water was still coagting, the ny nineyers of the seas of clouds instantly converged into ten pools of water.

    The ten pools of water did not merge together and remain separated at the bottom of the internal strength dantian.

    If they were to merge together, Qin Feng would most probably achieve internal strength of a C-tier, by then, he would have gigantic pools of internal strength, making him even stronger!

    However, Qin Feng certainly did not push himself too hard as he would require internal strength that was nine times higher than the others to practise his Asteroid Assimtion. If he were to truly push himself further, it would bring a reversed effect.

    After all, he was not Liu Meng, he had the absorption ability which made it much easier for him to organize his internal strength. It would be unnecessary for him to force himself to advance which could result in an internal strength explosion.

    ¡°Phew!¡± Qin Feng opened his eyes and let out a satisfied smile.

    At that moment, a cracking sound was heard from below Qin Feng, it was from the energy stone bed that was releasing the energy of heaven and earth.

    Surprisingly, there was a crack that had formed into a gap right down the centre, and the energy stone had be bleak and dull!

    ¡°Ah?¡± Qin Feng felt sorry for the cracked energy stone bed that had suffered his insane energy absorption.

    ¡°Seems like it will take some time for this to recover for the next use!¡± Qin Feng felt helpless and let out a sigh for the domineering effect of the absorption, it was lucky that he had stopped the practice after his internal strength had achieved D-tier, or else, the stone bed might follow the footsteps of the materials that were absorbed by him, turning it into ashes.

    At that moment, it was almost dawn!

    Bone cracking sounds were hearding from his body as Qin Feng stretched his body.

    Despite having D-tier internal strength, Qin Feng still had E9-tier physical capabilities, and with such an intentional concealment, his own capabilities would be well hidden.

    ¡°When I go out, the Xue family would most probably be in great shock!¡± A sudden urge to kill shed past Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    ***

    At that moment, those who were guarding from the outside of the Battlegod Shrine were either seated with their legs crossed or resting in the tents.

    Whenpared with ability users and gunners, ancient warriors had much stronger physical attributes and could easily survive without any proper shelter.

    In addition, the source of energy from the outside of the Battlegod Shrine was extremely pure.

    Soon, the ancient warriors frowned and opened their eyes.

    They were able to witness the returning heaven and earth energy from the outside of the Battlegod Shrine, and they were able to catch a glimpse of the shrine before it disappeared in the skies.

    Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!

    Individual shadows appeared in the wilderness.

    They were the youths that had entered into the Battlegod Shrine.

    Everyone that had returned was filled with energy, it was as if all of them had been rewarded from their encounter.

    ¡°What happened? Why did I leave?¡±

    ¡°Where is this ce? Ah, my headache is killing me! Was that... an illusion?¡±

    ¡°Has it ended already? I have yet to attempt the second level of the Overcast Dragon!¡±

    All of the youths were in shock.

    There were more than fifty of them that had made it to the third chamber. They regretted not fully utilising the dragon blood to its fullest potential as they were unable to attain the required physical capabilities to open the second stone door.

    From this one entrance to the Battlegod Secret Territory, they had only managed to obtain the learnings from one of the Overcast Dragon¡¯s scrolls.

    However, some had managed to figure it out, and there were some who were able to grasp the skill.

    ¡°Bloodhunter!¡±

    ¡°Where is he, he is out too!¡±

    ¡°He has obtained the sixth scroll of the Overcast Dragon!¡±

    Everyone had their eyes fixed on Qin Feng who was the centre of attraction.

    At the end of January, the weather was still chilly, and he looked battered and exhausted with his topless body, worn out shorts, and no shoes on!

    He raised a finger, and a cape appeared in his hand, he used it to cover his body.

    Then, Qin Feng was about to leave!

    Hou Fang, who stood amongst the crowd, shouted, ¡°Third Uncle, Bloodhunter has about a thousand pristine lotus seeds with him!¡±

    Of course, Hou Fang did not know the exact amount, therefore, he did not hesitate to exaggerate the amount.

    As the pride of the talented genius had been destroyed, Hou Fang felt that the only way to improve was to ovee the giant hill that was Bloodhunter!

    Bloodhunter had to fall!

    Hou Fang let out a roar and instantly caught the attention of every D-tier ancient warrior.

 Chapter 298 - My Turn

    <h4>Chapter 298: My Turn</h4>

    A rough calction had already enabled them to estimate the price of it all.

    It might even be four to five times higher than Xue Yuheng¡¯s worth.

    Elders from the Xue family instantly became envious.

    ¡°Bloodhunter, you shall die!¡±

    Elder Liu from the Xue family could not resist the urge anymore and took the lead to rush toward Qin Feng,nding a palm on him.

    ¡°Blood Mist!¡±

    Enraged internal strengthbined with blood breath spread across to a radius of more than thirty meters.

    Qin Feng raised his hand to block the attack.

    ¡°Overcast Dragon¡ªDragon m!¡±

    Despite only having quickly nced through the Overcast Dragon Kill, Qin Feng had already managed to master the Dragon m.

    Although it might be an easy skill, when released with Qin Feng¡¯s E9-tier beast king physical body and massive internal strength, the output from it was indeed overpowering!

    Blood Mist was the first tond onto Qin Feng and also the area within his surroundings, every youth that stood around him let out their screams and turned into Blood Mist.

    Hou Fang, who had drawn attention toward Qin Feng and exposed him, was also one of them!

    It was fortunate that Qin Feng had chosen to eliminate suspicion of his connection with Zhou Hao by cing him far away by using the Ruling Stone of Secret Territory, or else, their connection might even be exposed!

    Qin Feng did not have the intention to save the others!

    Everyone was staring at Qin Feng with greed in their eyes and the intention to kill.

    During the end times, only the powerful ones would thrive, and those who were able to adapt would survive, and only those who were able to survive until the end of the ughter would be the most powerful ones!

    There was no such thing as mercy!

    Boom!

    The Dragon m withstood the attack from the bloody hand, a ray of golden light was released, instantly piercing through the bloody palm.

    Then, apanied by solidified internal strength, the palm went through the bloody hand andnded on the body of the elder from the Xue family.

    The massive impact tossed the elder high up into the air.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    A gush of blood sttered out, forming an arc across the sky.

    Thud!

    The elder from the Xue familynded on the ground, it was instant death!

    Qin Feng¡¯s shadow flickered and he instantly stomped onto the body of the elder, he stared coldly at Xue Yukui and the Third Elder of the Xue family.

    ¡°Were you all enjoying hunting me down before this? Now, it is my turn!¡±

    As Qin Feng was saying that, he was also quickly absorbing the internal strength of the Sixth Elder using Asteroid Assimtion. He swept his conscious energy across the body and took the silver essory from the Sixth Elder¡¯s waist.

    It was at that moment, Xue Yukui and the Third Elder snapped back to their senses and finally figured out what had happened!

    ¡°Sixth Elder!¡±

    ¡°Sixth Brother!¡±

    Both of them grieved with sorrow.

    Although all of them were elders, they were from the same generation and were also brothers, they did not think that things would escte so quickly, from the death of the Seventh Elder earlier, and now the Sixth Elder!

    ¡°Bloodhunter, you shall pay for this with your own blood!¡±

    The Third Elder was enraged and exuded his D7-tier capabilities entirely.

    It was obvious that he was a much stronger opponent.

    It would have been impossible for Qin Feng to face the Third Elder before this.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities had spiked from the inheritance of the Battlegod, his internal strength had achieved D-tier, and with the ten times ergement of his dantian capacity from the Asteroid Assimtion, his internal strength water pool had umted to that of ten pools, and it was much more than the Third Elder¡¯s.

    With that, Qin Feng would never fear going against the elder with brutal force.

    Boom!

    Domineering internal strength began to appear around Qin Feng, formed into a translucent and perfectly rounded protective barrier, as if he was being wrapped around by ayer of liquid.

    Every D-tier ancient warrior who was witnessing the scene were all shocked.

    ¡°Internal strength in the liquid state!¡±

    ¡°He has advanced to D-tier!¡±

    ¡°How is that possible, he hasn¡¯t even reached twenty years of age.¡±

    ¡°Where did this devil¡¯s spawne from?¡±

    Everyone was caught in a jaw-dropping surprise.

    Tieh Lei, Hou Yangjiao, and Yang Mao held onto their urge to kill as they had witnessed the drastic changes that had taken ce on the field, they were all hesitant to make their move.

    As they were still hesitating, another round of change took ce!

    ¡°Die!¡± Qin Feng took the opportunity and made his move, his hand was instantly covered with a golden light ray, and within the next moment, he had already pierced through the chest of the Third Elder with his palm.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    The ring golden light burst forth from his body and blood mist exploded from the back of the Third Elder.

    The Third Elder of the Xue family had died!

    With the advantage of close contact, Qin Feng was able to directly absorb all of his opponent¡¯s internal strength.

    In the next moment, he had already set his eyes on Xue Yukui.

    Xue Yukui shivered, despite the raging anger that was within him, he could feel the risky situation that he was in.

    Qin Feng had indeed be much strongerpared to the recordings that they had on him.

    There must be some treasures that he had found from the Battlegod Tomb.

    Regardless of what it was, Qin Feng was no longer an easy target anymore!

    ¡®I have to run while it is still possible!¡¯

    Xue Yukui had the intention to escape in mind, yet his face was blood-red, he felt utterly humiliated.

    Xue Yukui was no longer an ordinary elder from the Xue family, he was also the acting leader of the family.

    He must be feeling greatly depressed, having to restrain the pride that he usually had and was being hunted down like a dog that had lost its owner!

    ¡°Huh, do you think you can escape?¡±

    Qin Feng did not have the intention to let his opponent sneak away.

    Xue Yukui kept running forward while Qin Feng immediately began his pursuit from behind.

    Initially, Xue Yukui was confident in escaping from Qin Feng¡¯s pursuit as he had witnessed the qing gong skills that Qin Feng had showcased the day before.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s speed had now spiked tremendously.

    His qing gong was outstanding, it was as if a dragon was roaring.

    Qin Feng was able to catch up with Xue Yukui in just a short while.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng extended his hand and pierced through Xue Yukui¡¯s internal strength.

    Xue Yukui dodged sideways.

    Bang!

    A palm mmed onto his shoulder as a ray of ring silver light appeared.

    The spatial rune equipment that Xue Yukui had was most probably beast king tier.

    His internal strength was instantly reduced as Qin Feng¡¯s palmnded on him.

    Xue Yukui turned around and countered Qin Feng¡¯s attack with both of his hands that were filled with internal strength.

    ¡°Take this!¡±

    Xue Yukui made a malicious expression, it was as if he was expecting to take down Qin Feng when he was not surrounded by internal strength!

    p!

    Both palms collided, however, a massive force was channelled into the Xue Yukui¡¯s hands.

    His hands were instantly mutted into a bloody mess.

    Qin Feng¡¯s hands were also covered with fresh blood.

    However, they were only lightly wounded.

    ¡°Ah!!¡± Xue Yukui screeched in pain.

    Both Xue Yukui¡¯s arms exploded, it was as if they were being mmed by the palm of a beast king.

    The insane amount of force had crippled both of his arms.

    Qin Feng then took advantage of his momentarypse due to the pain.

    Qin Feng activated his internal strength again and instantly burst forth with a second attack which was aimed directly toward Xue Yukui¡¯s skull.

    Xue Yukui raised both of his hands, intending to withstand the attack from Qin Feng.

    However, the effort was all in vain.

    Crack!

    Both of his arms were shattered into pieces as Qin Feng mmed down his palm.

    ¡°Overcast Dragon, Dragon m!¡±

    At that moment, Qin Feng was like a gigantic dragon that had extended its dragon w from the skies, and the merciless attack had crushed onto Xue Yukui who was like a helpless ant.

    Initially, they were still exchanging blows by travelling with their qing gong skills, and now, both of them had arrived on top of a small hill.

    A vague gigantic golden dragon wnded on top of the hill and struck Xue Yukui¡¯s body.

    Boom!

    The earth quaked and the mountains shook, and the ground on top of the hill began to crack open.

    Xue Yukui prated into the ground after being hit by Qin Feng¡¯s palm that was filled with internal strength.

    Qin Feng stood within the giant pit formed by his own massive destructive attack and looked at Xue Yukui who was a bloody mess and barely breathing!

    ¡°We, the Xue family, would never... forgive you...¡± Xue Yukui could barelyplete hisst sentence.

 Chapter 299 - Interests Turn The Tables

    <h4>Chapter 299: Interests Turn The Tables</h4>

    Qin Feng smiled an absolutely chilling smile!

    ¡°We¡¯ll see about that! Believe it or not, I can rush into the Xue household and destroy your whole family right now!¡± He let out a ghastly chuckle.

    Xue Yukui red at Qin Feng, one of his eyes was covered with blood and he could not open it. His vision began to darken and when Qin Feng put a hand on his forehead, he was plunged into darkness.

    Xue Yukui had been in!

    The three elders from the Xue family that gave chase not only failed toplete their mission, they had also died!

    This was news that nobody would believe.

    What was more was that the person who died this time was the acting patriarch of the whole family!

    In the distance, in the direction of where the Battlegod Tomb was, the people from the three families shuddered.

    ¡°Miss Hou, are you still going to make a move?¡± Tieh Lei asked in a low voice.

    Hou Yangjiao faltered slightly, she was actually shaking.

    ¡°Forget it. I don¡¯t intend to provoke such a person. I¡¯m not going to throw my life away just for profit!¡± Yang Mao shook his head. The most important thing for him was that Bloodhunter did no wrong. He was only killing people from the Xue family. Since ancient times, the forces of good and evil had not been bnced, and the division amongst the ancient warriors was clear cut.

    Hou Yangjiao gritted her teeth. ¡°What about the death of my family¡¯s direct descendant? I¡¯m supposed to let it go just like that?¡±

    Yang Mao replied in a quiet voice, ¡°Elder Hou, you need to think this through. The person that killed your family¡¯s descendant was the Xue family¡¯s Elder. Bloodhunter has already helped you exact revenge!¡±

    ¡°It was he who started the issue, not to mention, he clearly has the ability to save my family¡¯s people!¡±

    ¡°This is unreasonable!¡± Yang Mao decided to no longer try to get through to her, he hollered for his family¡¯s young prodigies and the others before taking his leave.

    Tieh Lei also fell silent. While he was tempted by the one thousand pristine lotus seeds, he knew that Qin Feng got them through his own abilities and if they were to try, they would be forcibly taking something from someone who was worthy enough to earn it.

    As for the death of the Hou family¡¯s direct descendant and disciple, it was not Qin Feng¡¯s fault either. Even if Qin Feng could have saved him, the Hou youngling was the one who went against Qin Feng, wanting to use the Xue family¡¯s hatred to do his dirty work for him. Thus, Qin Feng had no obligation to save him at all!

    ¡°Ms. Hou, I have no intention of participating. Many in the Xue family have died this time, things are going to be quite tumultuous for a while. I n to go on a retreat and practice, leave me out of all these!¡±

    Hou Yangjiao naturally could not ept this, she could not take on Qin Feng all by herself.

    ¡°Tieh Lei, don¡¯t forget. The Li family has been close to yours for generations, now the Li family¡¯s head has died by this person¡¯s hands, are you really going to just let that go?¡±

    Tieh Lei paused, hesitating for a moment.

    The death of the Li family¡¯s head had caused quite the upset in Niumeng City.

    Several disciples that did not practice martial arts came to the Battlegod Tomb, hoping that Tieh Lei would call the shots and take down Qin Feng. When they saw how tough Qin Feng really was, they were scared speechless.

    Now, Hou Yangjiao¡¯s words naturally revitalized that spirit.

    A thousand pristine lotus seeds. The price of that was several times higher than that of the Li family¡¯s assets. If they were to get them, all of them would be able to get the benefits.

    Thinking of this, all of them turned their gaze to Tieh Lei.

    ¡°Master Tieh, our elder saved your family¡¯s patriarch back then!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! Our elder died with his eyes still open, I can¡¯t forgive him!¡±

    ¡°Elder Tieh, for the sake of our family¡¯s past friendship, please!¡±

    For a moment, Tieh Lei found himself in a dilemma.

    While they were still hesitating, a group of prodigious youths that came over to participate in the battle for the Battlegod¡¯s inheritance were all excited for some reason.

    Their eyes were opened wide as they gazed at the mountain top in wonder.

    The mountain top looked like it had been ttened by more than ten meters!

    D-tier aptitude users, defeated and killed by Bloodhunter.

    All of this made them feel like everything around them was an unbelievable urrence.

    The battles from these senior, high-tier ancient warriors had benefited them a lot. The turbulent internal force that washed over them, even if it made some of them fall on their knees, also gave them a good understanding of the levels of power high-end ancient warriors possessed.

    This further propelled them forward, yearning to improve their abilities in the martial arts world!

    They were trembling, their emotions had been stirred up. It turned out that Bloodhunter was the same age as they were.

    It was not clear how powerful Bloodhunter was in the past, but they definitely saw how powerful he was in the present.

    They all thought of a question.

    ¡°What kind of move does Bloodhunter use?¡±

    ¡°Could it be something from the sixth volume of the parallel technique book? The move he used was simr to the force of the Overcast Dragon that it describes!¡±

    ¡°Very strong indeed. It¡¯s a technique worthy of an A-tier!¡±

    They believe that Qin Feng was powerful because he had obtained the Overcast Dragon technique. As much as they admired him, they also chastised themselves for not getting the chance to do so.

    A D-tier ancient warrior that was getting ready to leave caught wind of this group¡¯s conversation and had on a look of surprise. All alone, he approached them and asked, ¡°What did you get while you were in the Battlegod Tomb? An A-tier move?¡±

    The teens were at a loss, they did not even pass the second trial let alone getting their hands on a secret technique.

    Some of them dodged the question by moving aside, not wanting to make eye contact with the D-tier.

    ¡°Hey! Hurry up and tell me!¡± The D-tier ancient warrior eximed.

    ¡°You think my family¡¯s people don¡¯t deserve some respect?¡± Tieh Lei said in a deep voice. The teen that was being interrogated was from the Tieh family!

    ¡°Sir!¡± The Tier youth immediately hurried to Tieh Lei¡¯s side at the sight of his rtive and breathed a sigh of relief.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright, what¡¯s the situation inside? Speak!¡± Tieh Lei said solemnly, the spear in his hand firmly nted on the ground. Under the morning light, it glowed with a silver aura and made the others stay where they were.

    The youth began to ry what happened and concluded with, ¡°What Hou Fang said was true, there were no more pristine lotus seeds by the time we left. When we passed the third gate to learn the secret technique, Bloodhunter had already gone through the sixth gate. He must have fully learned the secret of the parallel technique!¡±

    The D-tiers present were all stunned by the tale.

    At this time, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator began to make beeping sounds and a message was quickly received.

    ¡°Get out of here, they figured out that you have theplete volume of the Secret Art of the Overcast Dragon, and they are brewing up some crafty ns!¡±

    It was from Zhou Hao.

    ¡°Take advantage of the chaos and get out of here, these people have seen you go through the second gate. If you havepleted the second trial, you should be able to face off against E-tiers but some people naturally wouldn¡¯t let that go!¡±

    ¡°Be careful!¡± Zhou Hao replied. Thinking about it now, Zhou Hao was in more danger than Qin Feng!

    Qin Feng¡¯s strength was in D-tier but when it came down to battling, he would not be able to defend his friend if Zhou Hao could not fend for himself.

    Even with a beast king contract beast, Zhou Hao was still in danger because of how many E-tiers there were.

    Fortunately, everyone¡¯s eyes were on Qin Feng, nobody in the crowd noticed that there was an additional young man.

    Qin Feng cast his chilling gaze downward and pressed his hand down.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    His internal force was mobilized as he began to drain Xue Yukui¡¯s internal force via his head. The violent surge of internal force that rushed through Xue Yukui¡¯s brain would have been more than enough to kill the man!

    ¡°Absorption!¡±

    With internal force in his hand, he lifted Xue Yukui off the ground and took away his opponent¡¯s rune equipment.

    At this time, a group of figures used qing gong* to quickly arrive and surround Qin Feng.

    The ones leading them were Hou Yangjiao and Tieh Lei.

    ¡°Hou family? Tieh family?¡± Qin Feng regarded them with a frosty gaze.

    *Trantor¡¯s Notes: There isn¡¯t an exact English trantion for this, it¡¯s essentially the action of walking/running/jumping through the air that ismonce within high fantasy Chinese martial arts media.

 Chapter 300 - Who Can Stop Me

    <h4>Chapter 300: Who Can Stop Me</h4>

    The two D-tier powerhouses nked him, and not only that, other strong D-tier aptitude users also came along to join in!

    In reality, they were hoping to see Qin Feng use his A-tier martial arts!

    Several middle-aged men from the Li family approached with their heads held high, backed by D-tier ancient warriors who bore an imposing aura which moved in a momentum, causing people to get out of the way as if the Lord of Heaven himself had just arrived.

    ¡°Bloodhunter, you killed my family¡¯s head. We demand you give us an exnation today!¡± The Li family member said angrily.

    Qin Feng did not move and spoke in a hoarse voice, ¡°Your family head? Who?¡±

    When he spread out his aura, the Li family member could not even lift his head. It was only just an F7-tier ancient warrior, did he not want to live anymore?

    Tieh Lei naturally could not let Qin Feng suppress the other as he quickly released his internal force to form a barrier around the Li family member.

    ¡°Bloodhunter, although you¡¯re strong, you can¡¯t just kill innocent people because of your personal enmity with the Xue family. You killed the head of the Li family of Niumeng City, he was a D-tier ancient warrior. Whether we¡¯re speaking in the terms of Niumeng City, or in the terms of the front line, he was a very important person in both situations as a man who had multiple military exploits and had made great contributions to the Human Alliance. Don¡¯t you think... that deserves some exnation?¡±

    ¡°So that was him!¡± Qin Feng recalled the old aptitude user he killed on the road.

    ¡°Bloodhunter, what else do you have to say? Plead guilty now!¡± Hou Yangjiao said coldly.

    However, Hou Yangjiao knew that the affairs of her own family could not be brought up as the logic for that usation was ill-founded.

    On the other hand, it was alright to be making a fuss about the Li family¡¯s matters.

    After they had seeded, they could count on the Li family to be the ones to divvy up the spoils of war.

    Qin Feng did not know Hou Yangjiao¡¯s n, but he suspected that all of this was just a farce.

    He merely chuckled coldly, ¡°Everyone that I¡¯ve killed before all wanted to kill me. Just because he is the Li family head I¡¯m supposed to let him kill me? He aids the Xue family in their oppression, why isn¡¯t anyone pointing fingers at the Li family? Having died in such a way, how dare you alle at me, waving that righteous g of yours, looking for trouble? Do you think I¡¯m an idiot?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s tone was firm and distinctly clear. The people around him had to admit that his words seemed to make some sense.

    Hou Yangjiao¡¯s face suddenly sank. She only thought that Qin Feng was strong, but being so young, in a situation where he should be ovee with weakness, he was able to speak so casually and calmly without crumbling under the anxiety. Who would have thought that Qin Feng¡¯s words would put her ill intentions to waste?

    Instead she reacted quickly and said, ¡°Bloodhunter, whatever the case, a person¡¯s death is a great deal. The Li family¡¯s head is the family¡¯s only pir of support. Without him, the Li family would naturally fall apart. Since you killed someone, don¡¯t be so stubborn and just apologize to the Li family and provide somepensation, then you¡¯ll no longer be held ountable!¡±

    ¡°Compensation? What kind ofpensation do you want?¡±

    The Li family¡¯s people¡¯s expressions suddenly lifted. They originally came to demand forpensation.

    The D-tier ancient warriors who came over were naturally there to assist in that matter as well.

    An old man from the Li family shuffled out, he was the younger brother of the Li family¡¯s head. He was over sixty years old but well-maintained, however after one day, he had begun to look a little haggard. Adding on how Qin Feng had scared him earlier, he was drenched in cold sweat and did not look very good.

    The best description for his current appearance would be what Hou Yangjiao would describe as ¡®pathetic¡¯.

    ¡°Bloodhunter, our patriarch¡¯s spatial rune equipment is in your hands. Is it too much if we want it back?¡±

    ¡°Now that the head of the family is dead, no amount of money could be exchanged for the person! The head was strong and had a wide knowledge about ancient martial arts. Now that he¡¯s dead, I¡¯m afraid that knowledge is now lost. We won¡¯t ask for much. The ancient martial arts that you¡¯ve obtained in the Battlegod Tomb would bepensation for us!¡±

    ¡°If the head didn¡¯t die, he could have lived for thirty more years! One year would be at least two billion, so that means that you owe us sixty billion. You should pay this in a lump sum, if you don¡¯t then you must at least have some things worth as much! Don¡¯t say you don¡¯t! You¡¯ve killed four elders of the Xue family, and you have obtained many things, letting go of some of them wouldn¡¯t be too much to ask, would it?¡±

    The old man finished saying all that in one breath and several others around him nodded.

    Qin Feng¡¯s smile faded, it was reced with anger.

    ¡°In all my years, I¡¯ve never seen someone like you. So shameless to be taking advantage of your seniority, such a self-righteous person!¡±

    Qin Feng was thoroughly irritated.

    The Li family member was too scared to speak any more, but the other D-tier aptitude users would naturallye forward now.

    Since these things were on the line, if they did not split the portions then this would have been a waste of time.

    Profit guided their hearts.

    They did not wish for Qin Feng to be too strong and wished to use these things to make themselves stronger.

    In the days after the end times, resources were obtained through contention!

    ¡°Bloodhunter, the Li family is right! These requirements are reasonable, you should speak with respect!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t forget you killed the Li family¡¯s head. They can identify you as a criminal and set a bounty on you. When that happens, you¡¯ll be expelled from the Human Alliance. I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t want to see that happen!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! Agree already! You have enough!¡±

    All these people were trying to coerce him.

    He found that kind of funny. In the end times, the Human Alliance had naturally establishedws and morals. Now, these people were obviously using morality to rob him!

    What a pity, their wagging tongues could not move him at all.

    In the end, the strong ones are king.

    And the strong did not need to negotiate, because the strong would only negotiate or chit-chat when they are feelingpassionate. Trying to force something out of them only had one result.

    ¡°Since the ancient times, murder is repaid with someone¡¯s life, losses are repaid in debts!¡± He said in a resolute and decisive way. His aura began to oppress even further.

    ¡°Since I killed the Li family¡¯s head, then you can try and kill me!¡±

    Qin Feng was wearing a mask, but everyone could hear that he was mocking them with his tone with that low chilling chuckle.

    He pointed at the Li family¡¯s people. ¡°I killed the Xue family¡¯s people, so the Xue family tried to kill me. You lot try anything on me and I won¡¯t hesitate to show no mercy!¡±

    The Li family¡¯s people all paled, there was no way that they could do anything to Qin Feng. He was on apletely different level!

    ¡°What¡¯s this? Aren¡¯t you gonna make a move? Then don¡¯t waste my time!¡±

    He turned and began to walk away.

    ¡°Halt!¡± Hou Yangjiao uttered angrily but Qin Feng did not even slow down.

    A dark light flickered in Hou Yangjiao¡¯s eyes, she had been waiting for this chance!

    She activated her internal force and began to attack Qin Feng.

    Not only that, the other D-tier ancient warriors looked at one another before surrounding Qin Feng in the blink of an eye.

    The current D-tier ancient warriors present totaled up to eleven of them.

    Qin Feng sneered. Behind him was an iing palm!

    ¡°I¡¯d like to see who can stop me!¡±

    He let out a roar before pushing his powerful body forward.

    Hou Yangjiao, being the first person to rush over, was met with a p to the face that knocked her out of the air and sent her crashing into the ground.

    ¡°Useless!¡±

    Qin Fengughed contemptuously, internal force bursting into the air.

    ¡°Overcast Dragon, Tornado Cloud!¡±

    His internal force surged, spiraling into the shape of a golden dragon! This giant dragon was simr in appearance to his fire dragon, but instead of being made out of mes it glowed brightly with raw internal force and exuded a powerful, dominating aura. The Li family that was watching could not hold their ground and were knocked down.

    Pfft! Crack! Pfft! Pfft!

    Organs were crushed, blood sailed through the air, and lives began to fade.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    The golden dragon moved in a circle, mming into the D-tier ancient warriors around him with its body.

    Qin Feng mobilized eight of his internal force¡¯s water mass, like an ancient warrior in the D8-tier going at full force, crashing it into the ancient warriors that were surrounding him.

    Boom boom boom boom boom!

    The internal force aura violently exploded, sending those ancient warriors flying through the air like broken dolls

    Qin Feng was the only person left standing in the middle of it all.

    ¡°Now...¡± He looked at his surroundings, coldly saying, ¡°Who, can, stop, me?¡±

 Chapter 301 - Bloodhunter Disappears

    <h4>Chapter 301: Bloodhunter Disappears</h4>

    Nobody could stop him!

    Everyone had been knocked to the ground by Qin Feng, nobody was left standing. At this time, they were all wondering what they had done wrong!

    They originally thought that they could just force Qin Feng to submit. Looking at this now, that thought seemed to beughable.

    By only using what he had learned from the third section of the Overcast Dragon technique he had already swept through all of his opponents!

    He had learned this trick before, back before his rebirth. The movements of his internal force were something he was especially familiar with, allowing him to unleash it with a powerful disy.

    These people thought that Qin Feng had obtained the A-tier ancient martial arts technique and did not have the time to practice it, believing that his strength would not have improved by much. Now, they felt like they had made a huge mistake.

    ¡°Heh,¡± Qin Feng sneered contemptuously.

    At this time, Hou Yangjiao, who had been thrown a distance away and not injured by the Tornado Cloud, picked herself up. Her face had begun to swell where Qin Feng had struck her.

    There was a fierce hostility in her eyes. She had lived for forty plus years and had not been beaten like this for a very long time, now she was filled with grief and rage.

    Qin Feng took a step forward, causing her to be surprised as she unwittingly took a step back. She then realized what she had just done and her face flushed even more.

    Her aura was weak and she was afraid of Qin Feng.

    Hou Yangjiao did not want to admit that.

    He began to speak again. ¡°Since you have time to stir up trouble here, why don¡¯t you go back and practice harder. If I find out that you all are following me, then you better fear for your lives!¡±

    Since they had already turned on him, Qin Feng did not n to leave them even an ounce of dignity. What was more, the identity of Bloodhunter was created by him to hide his true identity. In the future, he would disappear from everyone¡¯s sight, Qin Feng was not worried or afraid of offending anyone today.

    Hou Yangjiao did not dare refute!

    And so he swaggered away, with all of the D-tier aptitude users gazing at his disappearing figure.

    ¡°In the future, he¡¯s going to be C-tier and the Xue family will die!¡± Tieh Lei muttered, unable to hold back the pain, blood welling up inside.

    ¡°Guh!¡±

    He began to puke blood.

    Everyone that was hit suffered from some kind of internal damage.

    As for that Li family member, he had already passed out on the ground. Nobody was even sure if he survived or not!

    ***

    One dayter, Qin Feng had already left from the direction of Niumeng City, driving like a bolt of silver lightning as he sped in the direction of Chengyang City.

    He had intentionally left behind some traces, but nobody had gone after him. After all, who would want to chase after Bloodhunter without at least being C-tier?

    Qin Feng drove toward Chengyang City not with the intention of revealing himself, but with the intention of hiding the spoils he had gotten from his continuous battles.

    After all, these things had to be taken out and dealt with.

    On the outside, he only needed to act as Bloodhunter who had fled from the Four Cities on the North Sea, and enter the Three Cities along the Sun to sell the items to the underground ck market within Chengyang City! That would suffice!

    He could wait half a month before selling the items, that would be reasonable.

    However, he did not n to spend around half a month on the road. He took advantage of the moonlight and, with Bai Li,pletely disappeared from the Four Cities on the North Sea¡¯s borders!

    After that, the Bloodhunter¡¯s trail would only be an urban legend in the future!

    ***

    In Fengli colony, on top of the mother mountain, within the most luxurious looking vi, a silver light suddenly shed and formed into a spatial rift.

    A figure in a ck cloak strode out, followed by a three-tailed fox hopping out.

    It was Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    The swirling silver vortex began to close as Qin Feng tore off his mask and discarded his armor, revealing a sturdy figure.

    Throughout these battles, his physical body had been strengthened again and purified by the pristine lotus seeds. His physical form might have concealed his full force, but it was still impressive and shocking to see with the naked eye.[1]

    The aura that emanated from his body was like that of a wild beast¡¯s.

    ¡°Whew, it suddenly feels so good to return home!¡±

    After fighting for so many days, he felt very rxed having returned to his home in Chengbei colony.

    He climbed into the bath and went on to have a long rxing soak after he had removed his trousers.

    ¡°Ah! It suddenly feels so good to be a human again. I couldn¡¯t talk for days and I couldn¡¯t wear any dresses!¡± Bai Li sighed with content. She could not use hermunicator the past few days; after being infected with the explosion of human media, life without the Inte was extremely boring for her.[2]

    Finally, that terrible experience was over!

    Qin Feng picked up hismunicator and called Zhou Hao¡¯s number.

    Zhou Hao was sitting in his hovercraft when he answered the call, he sighed when he saw Qin Feng¡¯s background on the feed, ¡°You¡¯ve gone home already? You used a spatial waymark to return didn¡¯t you? Dude, you¡¯re way too extravagant, I swear.¡±

    That must be the only exnation for how Qin Feng got to the Fengli colony so quickly!

    Zhou Hao would naturally not suspect that it was actually Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability.

    ¡°Yeah... What about you? Are you in any danger? If you can¡¯t travel then you can take the spatial waymark back too!¡± Qin Feng stated.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine. Nobody¡¯s after me at the moment. I¡¯m currently in the wilderness trying to see if I can break through into E-tier!¡±

    Only by practicing in the wilderness could one quickly rise through the ranks!

    Qin Feng nodded in approval.

    ¡°Oh yeah!¡±

    On the other side of themunicator, Zhou Hao suddenly changed the topic. ¡°There¡¯re many people that contacted me, there¡¯re some E-tiers too, and they said that they want to buy the second volume of the Overcast Dragon secret technique from me!¡±

    The Overcast Dragon¡¯s second volume was an E-tier parallel training secret technique, naturally many would want it.

    ¡°Nobody¡¯s trying to threaten you right?¡± Qin Feng raised a brow.

    ¡°Pfft, naw. Xiao Huang¡¯s still here and if there¡¯s anyone who tries anything on me I¡¯ll make sure they¡¯ll never get back on the road!¡±

    Beast king tier ultra beasts were something people were still afraid of!

    ¡°Hmm, then sell it off. Something that valuable is going to catch some unnecessary attention. It¡¯d be best if you find multiple people and sell it off in one go. Once they¡¯ve passed it around in the future it wouldn¡¯t be as valuable. After all, in the end it¡¯s just a bit of money, you can¡¯t expect to sit on that forever.¡±

    ¡°Yeah! I got it!¡± Zhou Hao grinned beforeughing, ¡°I feel like a rich man, I mean this E-tier ancient martial arts is worth 100 million!¡±

    Selling it to seven or eight people would definitely turn in a profit.

    For Zhou Hao, an F-tier ancient warrior, the speed in which he was making money was definitely something that was against the established order.

    Chengyang colony¡¯s Gao Linghan was also F-tier and made several million at a time, and he was incredibly proud of it.

    They were still far behind Qin Feng!

    This time his profit had reached about hundreds of billions![3]

    After catching up with Zhou Hao, Qin Feng excused himself and went on to contact Xue Xingfu.

    Xue Xingfu was a little surprised when he got a call from Qin Feng.

    ¡°Mayor, didn¡¯t you say you went on a retreat?¡±

    ¡°Yes,¡± Qin Feng nodded, then added, ¡°I¡¯m already D-tier!¡±

    Xue Xingfu was so taken aback that his eyes might as well have turned into gongs. His voice was so loud that it might as well have split the sky, ¡°YOU WHAT NOW?!¡±

    He could not believe it!

    How old was Qin Feng? Seventeen? Only seventeen?

    He had actually reached D-tier?!

    The mayors of Chengyang, Fu City and Sea City were probably only D-tier.

    ¡°M-mayor. Sir. You¡¯re pulling my leg, aren¡¯t you? Did you really reach D-tier? No, wait. No, you wait for me! I¡¯m going to head over right now!¡±

    Xue Xingfu told himself that he needed to verify this in person. This news was too much to take in. It really was shocking!

    [1] I swear like, the man definitely has an eight-pack that is sturdier than metal by now.

    [2] That¡¯s a mood.

    [3] This is the same man that spent six billion to buff his fox sidekick.

 Chapter 302 - Tangshan Ridgeâ€™s Old Beast King

    Chapter 302: Tangshan Ridge¡¯s Old Beast King

    Within ten minutes, Xue Xingfu had already arrived at Qin Feng¡¯s manor.

    It was only after he had witnessed Qin Feng unleash his fluid-like internal force that he came to terms with this reality.

    ¡°However, my physical strength has only reached E9-tier and my consciousness is the same level as that. I need to continue practising!¡± Qin Feng said. Since he had the absorption ability, he had naturally set a very high standard for himself.

    If someone else had wanted the body Qin Feng had, it would take a lot of hard work over a long period of time in order for it to be possible.

    ¡°Hey, Mayor? Can you please stop shocking me?¡± Xue Xingfu felt very ashamed when facing Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng chuckled, changing the topic entirely as he said, ¡°I called you just now because I n to go back out there to practise and after that, I might head off to the frontline for three months. You best be mentally prepared!¡±

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s expression grew serious.

    The frontline. That was where humanity truly battled the ultra beasts.

    Since the rifts there could not be sealed off, it would spit out ultra beasts every day and they needed to be constantly killed in order to keep the rifts in check and protect the home country.

    D-tier aptitude users would go to the frontline in order to gain merits, but of course this was dangerous. Reaching D tier did not mean that it was a good thing, there were many people that died in the frontline!

    Assuming that Qin Feng were to identally die in the frontline, Fengli colony would copse in the blink of an eye!

    ¡°I understand, which is why I need to improve myself at a faster rate!¡±

    Fengli colony needed other people to support it.

    ¡°Which is why I¡¯m going to give this to you!¡± Qin Feng took out a jade medal and handed it to Xue Xingfu who was a little surprised. ¡°A Battlegod Token? I can¡¯t use this thing and the Battlegod Tomb has already disappeared!¡±

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°It¡¯s disappeared, yes, but from now on it¡¯ll appear near Fengli colony!¡±

    That stunned Xue Xingfu once again!

    ¡°Mayor, don¡¯t tell me you mean what I think you¡¯re meaning?¡±

    Qin Feng smiled and did not answer. However, at this time, there was no need for an answer!

    Xue Xingfu had quickly caught on and figured it out.

    Although the Battlegod Tomb had closed up after just one day, as Zhou Hao was a frontline officer and Qin Feng¡¯s best friend, Xue Xingfu naturally kept tabs on the situation and knew about the major events that had urred in the Four Cities of the North Sea.

    These things, from his point of view, were distant. It was like watching superstars gossip before the end times. These were not worlds he lived in, but it still made people wonder.

    What he did not expect was that these things would ovep with one another!

    Xue Yuan killed, along with his attendant!

    Someone named Bloodhunter!

    The D-tier Seventh Elder of the Xue family died by his hands.

    A kill order was issued to take down this masked devil, many E-tiers gave chase in order to kill this D-tier aptitude user.

    Entered the Battlegod Tomb, killed the Xue family¡¯s acting patriarch and then single-handedly took down members from ancient warrior families before swaggering away.

    That was just a myth!

    Yet, that mythical person was sitting right in front of him.

    Xue Xingfu did not know what to say!

    ¡°Mayor, then this Battlegod Token is for...?¡±

    ¡°You can train in it, the tomb. You can enter the martial arts pavilion at will and choose whatever suits you. The catch is that you can¡¯t simply tell anyone about this, we¡¯ll talk about it after you have reached E-tier!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Right, got it!¡± Xue Xingfu nodded.

    Zhou Hao also had a Battlegod Token on hand.

    Zhou Hao was the person that Qin Feng trusted the most.

    Xue Xingfu was the person that Qin Feng relied on the most.

    If the strength of his subordinates were to grow, Qin Feng hoped that it would be these two people, so at least there would not be any special alterations within the colony.

    ¡°Oh, Mayor. You said that you are going out to practise again, where...¡± Xue Xingfu had not received any special news.

    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m going to Tangshan Ridge!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Tangshan Ridge was south of Fu City, far away from Chengyang and Sea City. It was filled with so many ultra beasts and mutant nts that it was simply impossible for people to travel through.

    If one were not D-tier then exploration was not possible.

    Not only that, once a year there would be ultra beasts thate out of Tangshan Ridge to attack Fu City, but these monsters would not be as massive in quantity as the ones that attacked Sea City as there had been some special outposts designed to stop these attacks.

    Still, something terrible existed deep within the bowels of Tangshan Ridge.

    Xue Xingfu was dazed for a moment as realization dawned on him. When it came to business, he was naturally well-informed!

    ¡°Ah, Mayor, you want to get involved too? The beast king thing?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡±

    ¡°Got it!¡± Xue Xingfu replied as he recalled thetest news.

    In the past few months, strange activity had been picked up from Tangshan Ridge. A few people had been sent to investigate and eventually found out the cause.

    Tangshan Ridge was extremely big and in its center, a D-tier beast emperor came into existence.

    Stronger than a beast king, only a D-tier and above ultra beast could have the chance of evolving into a beast emperor.

    The beast emperor¡¯s strength was immense, something that could cause a lot of chaos. But in Tangshan Ridge, there were other beast kings and they had their own territories, and now the beast emperor was dying!

    It was getting too old!

    The beast emperor came from a different ne and it was unknown how long it had lived but one could tell that it was ancient when they looked at it. Now, the other beast kings wanted to kill the old beast emperor and eat its energy crystal core and evolve into a beast emperor themselves.

    Fu City immediately ryed this news with the fear that a new beast emperor would emerge. The old beast emperor was unwilling to move as it was too ancient, and this new beast emperor would be in its prime. If it had high intelligence, it could decide to move out of Tangshan Ridge and cause havoc in the human territory.

    That was something that sounded unstoppable.

    Of course, being third party neighbours who could not afford to lose the war, they went in to take advantage of the situation. After all, beast emperor materials were way too rare!

    The new mayor of Sea City, Lei Chen also went there. Which was why he was not in Sea City.

    As for the mayor of Chengyang City, Bai Tianyang, he was there too.

    All the Three Cities along the Sun had dispatched their people, not to mention the Four Cities of the North Sea which have also stepped in. Due to resources, economics and geography, the Four Cities had stronger aptitude users, so there would probably be more people from the Four Cities there.

    How could Qin Feng not participate at such a flourishing time.

    Xue Xingfu did not anticipate this at all. It was because Qin Feng had just joined a bunch of teenagers in their contention inside the Battlegod Tomb and now he was going to bepeting against a group of city mayors. The gap between these two events was way too much and he did not know how to react.

    He ended up sighing. Qin Feng was getting way too strong way too fast!

    ¡°In that case, I won¡¯t bother your rest any longer!¡± Xue Xingfu asked to retire for the day and Qin Feng allowed it.

    After a few days of not having a good rest, Qin Fengy on his soft andfortable bed, and he fell asleep as he hugged Bai Li.

    After a dreamless night, when Qin Feng was about to leave on the second day, Bai Li forced him to put on a specially madebat uniform.

    He looked at his own reflection and realized that he looked a little bit more magnificent. The clothes were not striking, instead they had a subtle vibe that did not draw attention to it and made his person look more dashing.

    Suddenly, he felt an appreciation for a woman¡¯s touch inside this house!

 Chapter 303 - Journey to Tangshan Ridge

    <h4>Chapter 303: Journey to Tangshan Ridge</h4>

    As soon as he left the manor, there was already someone waiting for him outside, someone who was not weak. It was an E-tier that was rarely seen in Fengli colony.

    Beside the person was something that was entirely different from the standard shape of a hover tank. It looked like a machine with a pair of wings and aerial fins.

    It was abat hover copter!

    Combat hover copters were more durable than hover tanks and it was a different method of transportpared to the standard hover tank. When fighting in the frontline, thebat hover copter was also a weapon of war.

    It was equipped with guns that only F-tier gunners and above could control, which showed that this thing was definitely a rare item.

    It would take Qin Feng three days to reach Tangshan Ridge in a hovercraft. However, hover tanks or hovercrafts were not feasible means to travel through the mountainous regions. Exploring the area to find where the beast emperor was would take at least seven if not eight days.

    By then he would have arrivedte.

    So for such an extraordinary period, naturally extraordinary means must be used.

    Qin Feng had ordered thebat hover copter from the Zhongcheng Organization, nning to just strut his way to Tangshan Ridge.

    Of course, the price was not cheap. It cost about three million for an air ticket, and there were risks that may be encountered at any time.

    However, for Qin Feng, three million was not even that much money!

    ¡°Mayor Qin, a name I¡¯ve heard for a long time! I, Ke Xiangzuo, will be your pilot today!¡±

    ¡°Hello!¡± Qin Feng shook hands with the other party.

    ¡°After you¡¯ve solved the crisis in Pingyun back then you¡¯ve be quite famous in our organization, now you¡¯ve even made Fengli colony such a prosperous ce, it¡¯s really impressive!¡±

    As Qin Feng took thepliment, his expression did not change other than having on a faint smile. ¡°Captain Ke, you¡¯ve joined the Zhongcheng Organization at such a young age, you must have a bright future ahead of you!¡±

    ¡°If you¡¯d like, you¡¯re wee toe to our city at any time!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered in his heart, knowing that Ke Xiangzuo was actually testing him. Thest time this happened was when Tan Yue probed at him to try and win him over.

    Fact of the matter was, Qin Feng¡¯s impression of the Zhongcheng Organization had be much worse after the incident that happened in Pingyun colony, and he had never nned on joining the group or working for others.

    ¡°Hehe, next time I¡¯ll go to the city as a guest. Alright, we¡¯re running out of time, lets go!¡±

    ¡°Yes yes yes, Mayor Qin, this way please.¡±

    After being tactfully rejected, Ke Xiangzuo no longer brought up the topic. They were part of the transportation industry and they were the ones that got in touch with the most superstar aptitude users from all over the world. Recruiting people into the Zhongcheng Organization was something that they were good at, therefore it had grown quite a bit over the years, growing bigger and bigger.

    However, Qin Feng had no interest in this at all.

    Thebat hover copter set off and soared into the air. Many people in the colony heard it and could not help but look up.

    ¡°Whoa, is that abat hover copter? It is! This is the first time I¡¯m seeing one!¡±

    ¡°It came from the mayor¡¯s manor. Does it belong to the mayor?¡±

    ¡°The mayor must have made a lot of money from the underground ck market transactions by now, he can even get abat hover copter!¡±

    As people watched the hover copter fly off into the horizon, they could only think about how rich and powerful Qin Feng was. The hovercopter soared through the air, increasing in speed.

    It was different from thebat aircrafts made in the past, nowadays the machines were fast and did not make a lot of noise. So long as there was the right equipment in the design, there was not even a need for Ke Xiangzuo to stay in the cockpit all the time.

    Qin Feng was thinking about how fun it would be to buy one for himself!

    ¡°So Mr. Mayor¡¯s going to Tangshan Ridge this time? You¡¯re going to participate in that beast emperor business, right? Nowadays, there are plenty of elites there and the ultra beasts are super powerful! I mean, that¡¯s all I¡¯ve heard. I don¡¯t know how terrifying it is!¡±

    Qin Feng smirked, saying, ¡°Oh, I¡¯m just going to watch.¡±

    ¡°I envy you, Sir, being able to watch also requires having the strength to do so!¡±

    ¡°Ah...¡±

    The two began to strike up a conversation, but there was not any useful information that Ke Xiangzuo could provide. What was more, when Qin Feng single-handedly took down the E-tier Wraith Devil, they paid more attention to him in a follow-up and learned that he was actually quite powerful, it made them quite curious about him.

    However, Qin Feng would not take the bait!

    They would soon arrive in about an hour.

    Qin Feng was beginning to see the dense nts of Tangshan Ridge as well as the towering mutant trees.

    A terrible wave of aura could be senseding from below.

    Ke Xiangzuo, too, stopped with all the small talk, as the moment they got closer to the destination the pressure that was being put on them was really terrifying!

    Thebat hover copter began to lower in altitude.

    Ke Xiangzuo¡¯s face had turned pale, he had not expected this ce to be so dangerous.

    At such a close distance, some powerful ultra beasts had seen through the dark runes and discovered thebat hover copter¡¯s existence.

    The feeling of being locked on by this behemoth made Ke Xiangzuo feel cold sweat drip down his back.

    Crack!

    A tall tree abruptly toppled over and Ke Xiangzuo could not react to it, that was until that tree was flung off the ground and was suddenly seen flying toward thebat hover copter.

    Ke Xiangzuo let out a gasp and immediately pressed a button on the cockpit¡¯s control panel!

    Whoosh!

    A missile dropped out from under the hover copter and Ke Xiangzuo used his consciousness to will the missile into crashing into the flying tree.

    Boom!

    The tree exploded mid-air, mes soaring into the sky before crashing down into the forest below and instantly stirring up the ho¡¯s nest.

    A giant bat suddenly appeared nearby, soaring into the air.

    A Darkwood Bat! A D-tier ultra beast.

    Ke Xiangzuo¡¯s heart almost leaped out of his chest, he wanted to raise the altitude of the hover copter when he heard Qin Feng¡¯s voice call out.

    ¡°Okay! You can drop me off here!¡±

    Here?

    ¡°But it¡¯s too dangerous here...¡± Ke Xiangzuo wanted to say something else, the problem was that there was nowhere for him tond the hover copter in the area.

    ¡°Open the hatch, I can get out myself!¡± Qin Feng eximed.

    Ke Xiangzuo gritted his teeth. He really did not want to stay for a minute longer, feeling that he could die at any moment. Qin Feng was the one who asked so if he were to die, it was not going to be his fault.

    With that in mind, Ke Xiangzuo abruptly pressed the button that opened the hatch.

    Cold wind sted into the cabin.

    Qin Feng held Bai Li in his arms and immediately jumped down.

    Within their line of sight, a dense swarm of Darkwood Bats appeared.

    This kind of creature lived on huge trees that provided plenty of shade and hung upside down on its branches. They traveled in groups and had wings that were three meters long. Just one of them would be a huge problem for most people.

    At this moment, a ray of light wrapped around Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    This light barrier was round and transparent, a sign of internal force in its liquid state!

    Qin Feng held Bai Li in one hand and the Verdant Emperor Saber in the other.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    The internal force around them blended into the attack and the re around the sword intensified!

    His internal force was obviously different from the previous mist-like state of his internal force. The burning re on the sword seemed to have substance and after the me rune was applied to it, it burst into a zing fire.

    Boom!

    With a sh of his de, a Darkwood Bat¡¯s wings were instantly split apart!

    Stepping onto the back of another Darkwood Bat, Qin Feng managed to use it to break his fall and jumped from one onto the other, left to right, as he shed in all directions!

 Chapter 304 - Who is the Visitor?

    <h4>Chapter 304: Who is the Visitor?</h4>

    In the air.

    Qin Feng was surrounded by the Darkwood Bats, but they did not cause a single damage to him at all!

    Instead, it became a stepping stone for Qin Feng to proceed downward.

    The flickering mes of the Verdant Emperor Saber were like long dragons, tearing the Darkwood Bats apart.

    The severed and decapitated carcasses of the Darkwood Bats showered from the sky.

    Tap!

    Qin Fengnded on the ground by putting his foot down on an ancient tree.

    Thebat hover copter had not left yet, and Ke Xiangzuo saw each and every of Qin Feng¡¯s movements through the monitor.

    ¡°That was insane, is he even human?¡±¡®

    Ke Xiangzuo wiped the cold sweat rolling from his forehead. Now, he finally understood that Qin Feng was even stronger than he had imagined, and his power had reached a stage that he could notprehend.

    ¡°He must¡¯ve reached D-tier!¡±

    ¡°Never mind, this has nothing to do with me. I¡¯ll send the footage to the headquarters, that¡¯s if I can make it out alive from this hellhole!¡±

    Ke Xiangzuo maneuvered the hover copter and disappeared over the Tangshan Ridge. While on the other side, Qin Fengnded on a huge tree and disappeared in a sh.

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s aura disappeared.

    However, the Darkwood Bats were greatly irritated and started to violently attack on all sides. They were unable to sense Qin Feng and had nowhere to vent out their anger, causing havoc within the forest to continue for a while before it gradually subsided.

    At this moment, the people hidden behind the trees all frowned.

    ¡°Who¡¯re those people?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s just two people, yet they¡¯re such show-offs?¡±

    ¡°But they¡¯re actually quite strong?¡±

    ¡°Why do they look so familiar?¡±

    Some of them were unfamiliar with them, and yet there were some who were able to instantly recognize Qin Feng and Bai Li!

    ¡°Qin Feng?¡± Lei Chen thought he was seeing things.

    It had been more than ten days since the sea beast tide had passed. News spread from Sea City that they suffered great losses, and one could only imagine how angry Lei Chen was.

    But there was nothing they could do about it. Although Lei Chen had the Leitang Organization to back him up, he could not simply take money from the group to help subsidize the city.

    In just the blink of an eye, a city that was thought to be a flourishing one was suddenly running a deficit.

    All of this happened because of Qin Feng.

    He had destroyed the shelter ind!

    Once Lei Chen heard the report brought back by Wang Zhichao, he had the urge to rip Qin Feng into pieces.

    He did not expect Qin Feng to have the guts toe to Tangshan Ridge.

    ¡°Hehe, the wilderness is dangerous! Qin Feng can¡¯t put the me on me if he dies out there!¡± There was a sh of killing intent flickering in Lei Chen¡¯s eyes.

    At this time, Qin Feng was hidden in arge tree¡¯s cavity. He used his consciousness to scan his surroundings.

    ¡°Hm?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s face immediately turned pale. His consciousness hade into contact with two other people¡¯s consciousness, but it was just for a split second.

    ¡®There¡¯s a D-tier ability user and a D-tier gunner!¡¯ Qin Feng thought.

    ¡®There are eleven people in total!¡¯

    Of course, including Qin Feng and Bai Li, there were thirteen people in Tangshan Ridge!

    These thirteen D-tier aptitude users were all among the best from the major cities.

    Qin Feng could already identify some of their identities. As he scanned using his consciousness, theirs matched up with the ones in Qin Feng¡¯s memories.

    Chengyang City: Bo Tianyang

    Sea City: Lei Chen

    Fu City: Fu Qi

    Not only that, there were Meng Lin, the Lord of Niumeng City, Ye Qun of Qing City, Zhai Ping of Bahai City, and Han Yuanzheng of Qihan City.

    Among them, Fu Qi, the lord of Fu City, was a wood ability user, while Han Yuanzheng, the general of Qihan City, was a gunner.

    The rest were all ancient warriors!

    Ancient warriors were strong in solobat, ability users were rare and gunners were suitable forrge scalebats. In such a situation, it wasmon that most of the people who came to Tangshan Ridge were ancient warriors.

    As for the remaining four people, Qin Feng suspected that they were from the ancient warrior families, and one of them had a cultivation method simr to the Xue family.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I can¡¯ty hands on the Xue family this time, but if he were killed by an ultra beast or by someone from another family, I hope the elders of the Xue family wouldn¡¯t put the me on me!¡± Qin Feng sneered.

    These people had yet made a single move, nor were they thinking about a joint effort. They were just waiting for the most appropriate timing to make a move.

    But Qin Feng could not wait any longer.

    There was no reason for him to hold back and wait, and he would not want to mess up his chance now!

    ¡°The old beast king¡¯s death probably happened this month, and it hasn¡¯t been more than a week since then, but none of these people have acquired the old beast king¡¯s crystal. Not only that, a few of them have even died!¡±

    That could only mean that the other beast king creatures had the upper hand.

    No matter how powerful a beast king was, it was definitely not something the ordinary people could defeat. Although these people might be the best among other elites, they were still no match for a beast king.

    They were nning on sitting back and reaping the benefits from others, but unfortunately no one started a fight, so their n did not work.

    Qin Feng used his consciousness to scan his surroundings. It did not take much effort for him to finally find some beast kings.

    There were three beast kings nearby.

    On the east, an extremelyrge golden python was slouching on a huge slope that was facing the sun. Its golden scales shimmered under the warm sunlight, dazzling the eyes that fell upon it.

    ¡°A Golden-scaled Python!¡± The D3-tier Golden-scaled Python was more than fifty meters long, with the thickest part of its body measuring two meters in diameter. It was a sight not for the faint-hearted.

    With such a being, it only took one bite to kill a human being.

    In the southwest direction, a waterfall flowed over a vertical drop, forming a water pool. Strangely, the pool was frozen, and next to the pool,y a blue-eyed white tiger.

    ¡°Frosted-pupil Tiger King!¡±

    The Frosted-pupil Tiger King was a unique species. Its entire body was frosted white, and it could use ice abilities.

    The Frosted-pupil Tiger King was rare and very strong. Even though its body was only five meters long, it still had the aura of a king.

    A strong enemy!

    Qin Feng manipted his consciousness again, and in the northwest direction, another beast species appeared in the middle of the vast forest.

    ¡°Red-headed Goris!¡±

    This group of red-haired giant goris with twisted faces travelled in groups, almost tyrannical, and the ce they resided in was too dangerous for any human to set foot in.

    After all, the Red-headed Goris also had wood abilities.

    Among the many Red-headed Goris, a gigantic gori that was seven to eight meters tall, almost three storeys in height, sat on top of a giant tree. Through his consciousness, Qin Feng could see that they were all gazing toward the tallest spot of the Tangshan Ridge.

    That was exactly where the old beast king was.

    The Red-headed Gori king!

    The Red-headed Gori king had high intelligence.

    ¡°They¡¯re all very strong!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned slightly. He was scrunching his brows as he quickly formed a n in his mind.

    Soon, he locked onto the Golden-scaled Python King among the three beast kings.

    Since it was the end of February, the sunlight was not blinding yet, but the temperature had warmed up. The python king was lyingzily on top of a rock, and its golden-scaled body was dazzling to the eyes.

    Qin Feng shrouded himself in dark runes and walked past the python king. He entered the python¡¯s cave.

    Since the python king had arge body, the cave was at least three meters wide, which was not surprising.

    As Qin Feng walked inside, anything within less than fifty meters was suddenly clear to his sight.

    With his night vision, Qin Feng could clearly see everything around him.

 Chapter 305 - Beast Kings

    <h4>Chapter 305: Beast Kings</h4>

    In the ce where the Golden-scaled Python King often resided, the ground had turned smooth like a metal surface. In the corner, his eye caught on a golden python smaller than the king, its body exuded the aura of an E-tier.

    Qin Feng did not panic in the slightest, that was because he knew that the golden python was not a living creature at all.

    It was just a snake¡¯s shedded skin.

    It was the shedded skin of the Golden-scaled Python King when it was in E-tier.

    The skin was equivalent to being an E-tier material now.

    Not only that, there were three golden eggs among the clutter.

    ¡°What a surprise!¡±

    The Golden-scale Python King was able to reproduce by itself, and the eggs belonged to the python king.

    Qin Feng¡¯s original n was to just take the shedded skin, but now there was no way he would leave these behind.

    ¡°Bai Li, get ready!¡±

    Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Bai Li nodded.

    Bai Li¡¯s evolution was not slow, and with the cultivation of various beast king crystals, she was now almost an E7-tier beast king.

    Butpared to the Golden-scaled Python skin, she was far inferior!

    As such, what they were about to do now would be very dangerous to Bai Li too!

    Qin Feng walked forward and stretched out his hand, and in an instant, the shedded snake skin and the golden-scaled snake egg disappeared in Qin Feng¡¯s hands.

    Qin Feng could mask his own aura, thus concealing it from being detected by the Golden-scaled Python King and allowing him to venture into the cave.

    However, the aura of the beast eggs and shedded skin was dense. Since they had disappeared abruptly, there was no way the python king would not sense their sudden disappearance.

    The Golden-scaled Python King was furious.

    ¡°Hiss!¡±

    The python spat out a series of letters of serpentnguage as it twisted its huge body. It swung its tail and crushed a huge ancient tree that was as thick as a millstone, leaving the tree stump behind.

    The wind was blowing wildly around it and the Golden-scaled Python King disappeared into the cave in just the blink of an eye.

    ¡°Go!¡± Qin Fengmanded, and in the next moment, he and Bai Li escaped from the cave.

    When the python king slithered into the middle of the cave, it sensed that the auras had disappeared, but it caught on to the aura left by the runes.

    A dark rune and spatial rune.

    ¡°Hiss...¡±

    Sharp, hollow noises erupted from the python king¡¯s mouth. It twisted its body and turned around to exit the cave.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s aura had instantly disappeared, and the Golden-scaled Python King went on a mad pursuit!

    The aura of the D-tier beast king filled the air.

    In the Tangshan Ridge, the eleven people hidden in different locations felt the aura.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the Golden-scaled Python King!¡±

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    Everyone was well hidden in the shadows, and they could not help but observe what was happening outside.

    At this moment, due to the turbulence caused by the python king, the entire forest began to shake.

    The aura of the Golden-scaled Python King frightened other low-tier ultra beasts to run away in fear.

    The turbulence was constantly spreading wider, even those eleven people had no way to hide at ease.

    On top of the mountain, Han Yuanzheng was on the highest ancient tree. He lifted his oversized sniper rifle and aimed downward.

    Soon, from the east, a golden light glided in the middle of the forest, and the surrounding trees were rampaged andpletely crushed.

    It was like a golden river had suddenly formed out of nowhere.

    Unlike what others felt with their consciousness, Han Yuangzheng saw the beast king with his own naked eyes, which frightened him even more.

    This ultra beast was just too strong!

    He moved forward with his sniper rifle. He noticed that in the forest, another figure was moving forward at a rapid pace.

    When he had a clearer view of the person¡¯s face, Han Yuanzheng immediately recognized him as the same person who had gotten off thebat hover copter earlier.

    ¡°Should I say that he¡¯s bold and skilful, or that he¡¯s stubborn? What the hell is he doing?¡±

    What the hell was he thinking? That was the same question that many people had in their minds.

    At this moment, Qin Feng was dashing around in the middle of the forest.

    The dark runes around Qin Feng¡¯s body had faded, but the Golden-scaled Python King had locked onto Qin Feng¡¯s aura and was going for a deadly pursuit.

    The python king was unbelievably fast.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s sudden rush of energy made him quite fast as well. Since his consciousness was vast, he constantly nned his route ahead and tried to userge trees and boulders to slow down the python king¡¯s speed that was slowly catching up with him.

    They had not spent much time ying hide and seek, but others who were observing the pursuit felt that it was a life and death moment.

    In just three minutes, they arrived at the peak of another mountain.

    The mountain peak was very vast.

    Not only that, the peak was scorched ck. The mountain they were on was actually a silent volcano.

    At the summit of the volcano, a huge, pitch-ck bird¡¯s nest appeared.

    The bird¡¯s nest was the size of a football field, and every branch that was used to built it was actually towering trees.

    It was a beast king¡¯s nest.

    Qin Feng began running forward.

    The Golden-scaled Python hesitated. Its huge body stopped in the middle of the ckened mountain, not wanting to go any further.

    But Qin Feng did not intend to just steal three eggs and a snake¡¯s shedded skin and just call it a day.

    He immediately took out the eggs and cracked one of the shells with a single punch!

    Crack!

    A D-tier beast king snake egg was actually so hard that Qin Feng¡¯s punch could only crack it. The shell had notpletely shattered yet.

    The next thing that happened was Qin Feng lifting the foot-long snake egg and tossing it into the air.

    The snake egg whistled as it shot toward the old beast king¡¯s nest.

    The Golden-scaled Python King was enraged.

    In the eyes of the python king, Qin Feng was small and did not even belong within its own food chain. After all, it was too small to fill its own stomach!

    Now, this insect-sized being had just provoked itself!

    He was like a fly that would disturb humans, and humans would usually find the fly and swat it to death.

    Now, this was what the Golden-scaled Python King had in mind.

    Without the slightest hesitation, the python king moved its abdomen and slithered toward Qin Feng¡¯s direction.

    Qin Feng sessfully escaped in a sh.

    And at this moment, the surroundings were suddenly enveloped by a patch of blue.

    This blue was extremely dazzling.

    It seemed that the entire sky was covered in the same blue.

    The temperature in the surroundings began to rise.

    Whoosh!

    The sound was not crisp, but it was iparably long. A huge creature rose up from the nest.

    The python king no longer chased after Qin Feng. Its eyes were now staring at something on top of the mountain.

    A greyish-blue beast had caught its attention.

    The beast was not pretty at all. Its five or six meters body was covered in zing mes. Its body was no longer covered with beautiful feathers.

    It was a twenty meters long peacock.

    Its forehead was balding and drooping with loose t feathers, and the feathers on its body were incredibly thin. Its once incredibly beautiful tail was only left with seven or eight long tail feathers.

    The peacock could have looked even more beautiful, but now it was dying of old age.

    It was the Blue me Peacock Emperor, the old beast emperor of the Tangshan Ridge.

 Chapter 306 - The Beast Kings Have Made Their Move

    <h4>Chapter 306: The Beast Kings Have Made Their Move</h4>

    At this point, there were a few more blue feathers drooping down from the Blue me Peacock Emperor¡¯s neck, exposing arge patch of the bird¡¯s skin.

    There was a piece of egg white on its neck, and as the mes on the peacock emperor¡¯s body zed, the egg was quickly cooked and revealed a fragrant smell.

    The Blue me Peacock lowered its head, pecked, and ate the cooked egg white from its neck.

    Then, the Golden-scaled Python King that was circling in the middle of the mountainside stared at the peacock with its paralyzing pupils.

    Its huge body seemed to tremble.

    ¡°Choo...¡±

    A long chirp was heard as the bird spread out its conscious force.

    Although it was in birdnguage, everyone seemed to have felt the meaning in its conscious energy.

    ¡°Long worm, did you send me myst meal thinking that I¡¯m going to die soon? Heck! That won¡¯t be necessary, maybe you should eat your own eggs!¡±

    The Golden-scaled Python King¡¯s eyes began to glow with golden light, shooting at the peacock emperor¡¯s nest.

    Boom!

    A corner of the nest was instantly smashed and sted apart.

    The peacock emperor said nothing else, but the five-meter mes on its body instantly soared to ten meters.

    It was furious!

    ¡°Choo!¡± The Blue me Peacock Emperor roared, ¡°I¡¯m not dead yet!¡±

    The peacock emperor felt that the python king was being provocative.

    It raised its head abruptly, then dropped it again and spat at the direction of the python king.

    In the next moment, a sea of blue fire shot out from its mouth.

    It was like a crater that was being washed down by water that was released from a flood.

    The python king quickly leaped upward to dodge the attack!

    But it did not attempt to flee.

    Though angry, the python king wanted to test out if it could challenge the peacock emperor.

    That was because the Blue me Peacock Emperor was too weak.

    So weak that the Golden-scaled Python King felt that it was an opportunity to take advantage of it.

    The two were in a stand-off, and all of the human beings watching from afar could not believe it.

    ¡°Wow, they¡¯re actually fighting!¡±

    ¡°This man is aplete maniac!¡±

    ¡°Well done!¡±

    They all felt that what Qin Feng had done was very crazy, but it had really stirred up the conflict between the two beasts.

    As long as there was a battle, there would certainly be chances of reaping benefits amidst the chaos.

    This was the case with Qin Feng right now.

    He was hiding in the dense forest below the volcano, watching the fight between the old beast emperor and the Golden-scaled Python King.

    ¡°It¡¯s too old!¡± Bai Li said. ¡°I can feel that the life force in its body is very weak!¡±

    ¡°Well, it was here since the beginning of the end times, and it was also very senile then. Many people thought that it was going to die, and many newly-awakened aptitude users came to Tangshan Ridge to try to defeat the old beast emperor!¡±

    Due to the fact that the Tangshan Ridge was still a scenic area, there were even vis on several of the peaks. It was a perfect ce that was easy to defend and hard to attack, and many powerful people wanted to build bases here.

    But they were all banished by the old beast emperor.

    This mountain peak was not a volcano either. After all, volcanoes were still rare in China.

    They were just traces left behind from the old beast emperor¡¯s battles.

    ¡°It felt like it was going to die then, but it ended up surviving for another two hundred years. It must¡¯ve reached its limits by now!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Its legs are even rotting1¡± Bai Li nodded.

    ¡°Oh?¡± Qin Feng was slightly stunned. The aura around the beast king was too powerful for Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness to explore any further, and doing so would easily expose himself to the beasts.

    The old beast emperor was too strong. If it were to spit fire toward Qin Feng, he would not be able to resist it.

    ¡°That¡¯s why it won¡¯te out. If it has the ability to leave its nest, the python king would be no match for it!¡±

    Qin Feng suddenly had an idea. He flipped out a chain of cannonballs that were still attached together. It was the trophy of the gunner from the Bloodthirst Organization that he had gotten while he was at the Drakocroc King ind.

    Qin Feng had an extra firearm and he mounted the conical object at the very front of the cannonballs into it.

    mp!

    Qin Feng pressed the switch and the cannonballs were instantly shot out.

    The cannonball was not aimed at the old beast emperor. Instead, it was aimed at the nest beneath the beast!

    The first cone instantly struck the middle of the thin crack between the nest and the mountain top.

    ¡°Detonate!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness collided with the grenade, detonating the chain of cannonballs.

    Boom!

    The first cannonball exploded, which was followed by another few consecutive explosions.

    Boom boom boom boom!

    The cannonballs destroyed the corner of the nest in an instant.

    A huge mushroom cloud appeared in the air, and what followed was the sound of a loud copse.

    Crack!

    Boom!

    The outer walls of the nest were blown apart. The debris rolled down the mountain like a river, which also shocked the Golden-scaled Python King.

    The battle between the two beasts was also forced to a halt.

    The people hiding in the shadows were shocked to see all of this.

    Without a doubt, they knew who had done this!

    And now, Qin Feng was all hidden among the dark runes, not daring to breathe. If he were to make a sudden move, he might attract the attention of the beast emperor, and that would mean trouble for him.

    But soon, the two beasts could not care less about him.

    The nest was blown apart, and mes ignited the giant woods. A part of the fallen woods was still burning, and the other part of the nest was still intact. The Blue me Peacock Emperor had put out the fire.

    The winds on the mountain top were strong. As the wind whistled and blew past the mountain top, the dust began to settle, carrying the smell of decay.

    The Golden-scaled Python King extended its forked tongue, taking in the scent of death.

    The python king¡¯s vision was weak, but its consciousness was still strong. It had the ability to distinguish the external dynamics of everything happening on its own.

    It had already figured out the situation that the peacock emperor was facing.

    At that moment, Qin Feng, who was at the bottom of the mountain, infused his eyes with internal energy and could clearly see the Blue me Peacock Emperor.

    It was lying down in the middle of the nest and was unable to stand up. Its abdomen was pitch ck and was unable to cover its ws which were now showing the white bones underneath it.

    And in the nest, there were scattered peacock tail feathers.

    Those feathers were beautiful, and the materials obtained from D-tier beast emperors were worth a fortune.

    However, if such a thing grew on an ultra beast¡¯s body, it needed a constant supply of energy to maintain its power. The Blue me Peacock Emperor could no longer supply it anymore, so it merely elerated its death for the sake of beauty and power.

    All of the tail feathers had fallen off, but their aura was still present, just like the aura emitted from the python¡¯s shedded skin. Although through the naked eye they were just a few tail feathers, other beast kings dared not approach it as they still feared its aura.

    Now, all disguises had been exposed, and the Golden-scaled Python King ferociously revealed its fangs.

    Golden light shot out from both of its eyes again!

    The python king was an extremely rare ultra beast.

    Zap!

    The light instantly prated the crack, attempting to strike the Blue me Peacock Emperor¡¯s body.

    Whoosh!

    zing mes appeared in front of the peacock emperor, forming into a shield to protect itself from the light.

    The two did not give way to each other.

    It was at this time that the entire Tangshan Ridge began to tremble.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    A tiger¡¯s roar shook the sky, and a huge white tiger with icy-blue wings flew from the sky to the highest peak of the Tangshan Ridge.

    ¡°Squeak!¡±

    A group of goris began to scream frantically. A giant Red-headed Gori King threw out two vines from his hands and wrapped them around the mountain. Then, he rapidly pulled himself toward the mountain and was rapidly approaching it.

    The beast kings had finally made their move!

 Chapter 307 - Here Comes the Freeloaders

    <h4>Chapter 307: Here Comes the Freeloaders</h4>

    After the Blue me Peacock Emperor had seen the two beast kings charging in their direction, it let out a sorrowful cry.

    It did not want to die, nor did it want to get eaten after death by the other beasts, because that would be a miserable death.

    The mes on the Blue me Peacock Emperor¡¯s body burned once again.

    The mes soared fifteen meters high, and as the wind blew, the currents became hot.

    It was not willing to die without putting up a fight!

    The sky seemed to be burning with blue sparks.

    Then, a rain of fire descended from the skies.

    ¡°Fire Meteor!¡±

    The fire meteors seemed to have locked onto the Golden-scaled Python King as each of them crashed onto the python king¡¯s body.

    The python king¡¯s golden scales could not withstand the heat from the mes and turned charred ck.

    The python king¡¯s humongous body rolled down from the peak to the shoulder of the mountain.

    At this moment, the Frosted-pupil Tiger King was the first to reach the highest peak of Tangshan Ridge. Its icy wings began to p, forming a blizzard in an instant.

    The blizzard struck the peacock emperor¡¯s body.

    The mes on the peacock emperor¡¯s body were put out, but it was enraged andshed out once again.

    ¡°Chirp!¡± The peacock emperor spat out blue mes, forcing the tiger king to retreat.

    Boom!

    The Red-headed Gori King climbed up to the mountain peak, its humongous body shook the earth as it moved forward. It looked like it was trying to keep a safe distance.

    Whoosh!

    A vine was thrown up the slope andssoed around the huge nest.

    Rumble!

    The nest copsed!

    The tiger king was still attacking, and the wind and snow had blown all the peacock tail feathers out from the nest.

    This time, the people watching the battle from afar were all unable to sit still any longer.

    Those were the materials of a D-tier beast emperor.

    Even if they could not get the beast emperor¡¯s crystal core, they could at least try to get their hands on the beast emperor¡¯s blue feathers as they were worth a lot of money.

    It was just thatpared to them, no matter if it was the timing, location or people, Qin Feng had too big of an advantage over all of them!

    ¡°Go and collect the peacock feathers, if the feathers are in the middle of the battleground, don¡¯t go near it, get it?¡± Qin Feng instructed Bai Li.

    ¡°Okay, don¡¯t worry about it!¡±

    ¡°Take care!¡± Qin Feng pinched Bai Li on the cheeks and patted the top of her head.

    They had been together for so long, and Bai Li¡¯s evolution was speeding up.

    But within the Three Cities along the Sun, the resources were too limited.

    Qin Feng had Xue Xingfu acquire E-tier beast king crystal cores, but to no avail since it had been such a long time and he had yet acquired any. Bai Li¡¯s evolution had been put on hold, and it was Qin Feng instead that had been the first to advance to D-tier.

    This was the first time that Qin Feng¡¯s powers had surpassed Bai Li¡¯s since they had been together.

    Now, it was Qin Feng that was protecting Bai Li!

    In the next moment, Qin Feng covered himself with internal energy and rushed out of the dense forest.

    Bai Li was out to pick out the materials, but Qin Feng was going out for a fight.

    The three beast kings attacked the Blue me Peacock Emperor, and it stood no chance of survival, but that alone was not what Qin Feng wanted.

    Qin Feng was not going to let go of the three beast kings.

    The python king that had rolled down from the peak entered Qin Feng¡¯s attack range.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand was aiming at the python king¡¯s body that was still wrapped in mes.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    Internal force burst out of his body as the light from his saber shot up into the sky.

    A one-meter wide inferno beam struck the Golden-scaled Python King¡¯s body.

    The beam sted and sent the python king¡¯s humongous body flying up the mountain slope, colliding into countless mountain rocks.

    Then, the python king¡¯s body began to emit a radiant glow.

    Whoosh!

    The light shot up into the air, reaching almost a hundred meters from the ground. The energy wave emitted from the light was terrifying.

    When he turned his attention to the python king, arge hole the size of a basin had appeared on its long, thick body.

    Not only that, the python¡¯s broken bones could be seen through the hole.

    Qin Feng¡¯s sudden attack was nearly fatal!

    Just at this time, a burst of white light shot out from the python¡¯s brows, enveloping its entire body in the shimmery light.

    Qin Feng could feel the nasty auraing from it.

    Holy Light Ability!

    The injuries on the python king¡¯s body instantly healed when the light fell upon it.

    Qin Feng could never let the python king recover that easily.

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    Qin Feng used his conscious energy to manipte the runes and mes began to dance from underneath the python king, soaring up into the sky.

    The Golden-scaled Python King twisted its huge body and slithered to the side to dodge the attack. The Holy Light ability was interrupted.

    Qin Feng dashed forward again, the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand began to sh continuously.

    At this time, there was a loud booming voiceing from the top of the mountain.

    The Red-headed Gori King and Frosted-pupil Tiger King had joined forces to defeat the Blue me Peacock Emperor.

    Rumble!

    The mountain rocks crumbled and the earth beneath them trembled.

    Those people hiding in the shadows rushed toward the dense forest, and the peacock feathers that were scattered around the battlefield were nowhere to be seen.

    ¡°How is that possible, I saw the feathers scatter in that direction!¡±

    ¡°Did that guy take the feathers?¡±

    ¡°Fight, it¡¯s better that they fight until they die!¡±

    The battle went on and on.

    Qin Feng pestered the Golden-scaled Python King and fought it until the sky had slowly turned dark.

    As the sun set in the west, the sky was slowly getting darker.

    The light emitting from the python king¡¯s body illuminated its surroundings. Qin Feng had been fighting the python king for hours!

    Zap!

    Light shot out from the python king¡¯s pupils toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    mes danced from Qin Feng¡¯s legs as he dodged the attack in a sh.

    Whoosh!

    The howling of the winds filled his ears and the humongous python¡¯s head swooped toward him, as if it was trying to swallow Qin Feng into its stomach.

    However, Qin Feng was unfazed and a fiery beam shot up into the sky.

    ¡°Fire Dragon!¡±

    The fire dragon shot toward the Golden-scaled Python King¡¯s gigantic mouth. The python king did not dare to swallow the fire dragon and quickly shut its jaws, dodging sideways.

    Boom!

    The fire dragon struck the python king¡¯s scales but it quickly disappeared, leaving only a faint yellowish mark behind.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had not reached D-tier yet, and he was not much of a threat to the python king.

    However, his internal strength was a solid D-tier.

    Seeing the python king turn its head to dodge, Qin Feng drew out his sword again.

    ¡°Slice it apart!¡±

    The saber that was fused with Qin Feng¡¯s powerful internal force instantly expanded ten meters in length and ruthlessly struck the python king on its wound.

    That wound had been continuously attacked by Qin Feng to the point where only a thin bone remained. This time, Qin Feng unleashed his powerful internal force which allowed him to sessfully cut off the python king into halves!

    The sixty-meter long terrifying python was now only thirty-meter long, its back was cut off by Qin Feng.

    Even though the cut-off part was still spasming, it was now useless duringbat!

    ¡°Zee!¡±

    The python king opened its jaws wide and spat out invisible waves of air, letting out a painful shriek.

    Just then, it dashed and slithered away with the remaining part of its body.

    It was trying to escape.

    From behind, a person who had been waiting in the dark jumped into the scene with shining eyes.

    It was Zhai Ping from Bahai City.

    Herees the freeloaders!

    Qin Feng sneered and nonchntly extended his arms andnded his saber on the python king¡¯s body. In the next second, the python king¡¯s body disappeared from the ground.

 Chapter 308 - Qin Feng Watches the Battle

    <h4>Chapter 308: Qin Feng Watches the Battle</h4>

    Qin Feng had obtained quite a number of spatial buttons during his expedition on the Drakocroc ind. Among the spatial buttons was one that was a hundred cubic meters in size. Although the Golden-scaled Python King¡¯s body was huge, it could still fit inside the spatial button!

    The others were instantly dumbfounded. They were hiding in the shadows and had ns to divide the materials amongst themselves once they had gotten their hands on it.

    They did not expect Qin Feng to have such arge space. He loaded up the back half of python king¡¯s remains away without leaving any leftovers behind for them.

    They also knew that their chances here were zero and turned around to chase after the Golden-scaled Python King that was attempting to escape.

    At this point, the python king was fleeing madly. Little did it know that Zhai Ping was only a few dozen meters away from it!

    Zhai Ping was a D3-tier ancient warrior and was quite strong. Now, the python king was slithering toward him. Even though the python king¡¯s body was huge, it had lost the other half of its body. In Zhai Ping¡¯s eyes, it was bound to die and was just making its final struggle for survival.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Zhai Ping filled his entire body with internal strength and his aura erupted. He used qing gong to float in the air, and he swung his giant axe at the python king¡¯s head.

    His internal force had doubled the size of his axe and it violently struck the top of the python king¡¯s head.

    Boom!

    The axe let out a muffled sound, then Zhai Ping felt the impact as his giant axended the blow.

    But the impact was not from the power he had unleashed. Precisely speaking, it was the impact from the python king¡¯s speed as it did not stop and collided with the axe.

    The tremendous force from the impact flowed from the axe to his hands, and it did not seem to stop at all.

    Boom!

    The python king¡¯s gigantic head crashed onto Zhai Ping¡¯s internal force, causing a powerful st.

    Zhai Ping was instantly sted away!

    Only a small ten centimeter crack appeared on top of the python¡¯s head, which was hardly visible under the golden shimmery scales. A strike that seemed powerful to Zhai Ping was no threat to the beast king at all.

    This was something that Zhai Ping would have never imagined.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    Zhai Ping was knocked ten meters away, the internal energy shielding him was crushed. His body did multiple flips and crashed into some trees before finallying to a stop when his bodynded on an ancient tree. Blood spurted out of his mouth.

    The python king had no time for Zhai Ping as he sensed that the death reaper wasing after him!

    However, more people were hidden in the dark and were ready to surround the python king.

    In the blink of an eye, four people had appeared out of the dark.

    Qin Feng only recognized two of them, the other two were strangers to him, but looking at the fact that one of them was holding a heavy sword and the other was holding an iron cable, he could guess their identities.

    The Tieh family was very famous for their heavy swords, and one of them was the direct descendant of the Tieh family. His name was Tieh Xin, a D2-tier ancient warrior.

    On the other hand, the other person was holding the Hou family¡¯s signature weapon. Since he was a guy, he did not use the kind of iron whip that Hou Yangjiao used, but a heavier iron cable. He was Hou Yangsheng, a D1-tier ancient warrior.

    There was also Meng Lin, the mayor of Niumeng City, and Lei Chen of Sea City.

    The four of them attacked all at once.

    Qin Feng slowed down his footsteps and stood beside Zhai Ping.

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered coldly at him. He threw his gaze over at Zhai Ping for a moment and focused on the battlefield.

    Zhai Ping wanted to get up. After all, he was in such a mess that his mind was still in a blur, and after being sneered at so coldly by Qin Feng, he felt utterly ashamed of himself.

    The other four people were engaged in a battle with the python king and were constantly pestering it.

    The python king was trying to escape, but it soon realized that these people were weaklingspared to Qin Feng¡¯s strength!

    Qin Feng had the physique of a beast king, but his attack was slightly weaker than the python king itself. During their previous battle, he still managed to put up a good fight.

    Qin Feng had an internal strength that was several times that of the others, he was able to use his strength at will and was able to recover his stamina quickly. He was able to inflict painful attacks on the python king.

    But these people had joined forces to try and take it down, and the injuries they had inflicted were no more than what Zhai Ping had inflicted. Even if the other two were from ancient warrior families and were stronger, they could only cause slightlyrger wounds.

    They were in no way a threat to the Golden-scaled Python King.

    The only thing they managed to do was anger the python king.

    If their attacks were painful, the python king would naturally feel threatened and fear.

    But if the attacks were ticklish, it would only annoy and enrage the python king.

    A domineering beast king was not some creature that a puppy or kitten could try to bully.

    The python king¡¯s body was suddenly covered in golden lights.

    The golden light was so blinding that the few ancient warriors that were attacking it had to cover their eyes, and even then, it made their eyes sting.

    Bzzt!

    A ray of light shot at Meng Lin, the mayor of Niumeng City.

    Meng Lin sensed the danger and was instantly rmed as he tried to resist the attack.

    The python king¡¯s golden light beam hit Meng Lin¡¯s internal energy and caused it to instantly explode, knocking Meng Lin into the air.

    The python king then dashed toward Tieh Xin and knocked him down, then it moved forward and tried to crush him into pieces. Tieh Xin used his spear to hold against the python king¡¯s massive body.

    Tieh Xin¡¯s face was reddened as his spear was slowly bent by the python king¡¯s weight!

    ¡°Brother Yangsheng, save me!¡± Tieh Xin shouted in fear.

    Hou Yangsheng quickly swung his iron cable andssoed the python king¡¯s body, he then tried to drag the python away from Tieh Xin, but the python king did not budge at all.

    ¡°Thunderous sh!¡±

    Lei Chen¡¯s eyes sparkled. He seized this moment and reached the back of the python king. He found a wound which had been previously cut off by Qin Feng, which left the exposed flesh with no scales to protect it.

    Lei Chen channelled his internal strength into the long knife he was holding and pierced into the python king¡¯s flesh.

    This attack inflicted a heavy blow to the Golden-scale Python King!

    The python king shrieked in pain.

    It swung its massive body, and Tieh Xin¡¯s spear slipped, creating sparks on the metal tip.

    Now without a pressure point to resist the python¡¯s massive body, the python king crashed on top of him.

    ¡°Argh!¡± Tieh Xin shrieked.

    Although he was notpletely crushed, both of Tieh Xin¡¯s legs were pressed into the ground. His internal strength was protecting his legs from being crushed into mush, but it was still a painful blow.

    The python king whipped its head. Hou Yangsheng, who had wrapped his iron cable around it, was flung into the air, and even the cables came off.

    The Golden-scaled Python King was nowing after Lei Chen.

    Lei Chen did not dare to fight anymore when he saw the angered python king, he quickly ran away.

    Initially, the python was surrounded by four people. Now that three had been defeated, only one was left, and the python king was ying a game of cat and mouse with Lei Chen.

    Luckily, Lei Chen spotted Qin Feng. Knowing how powerful Qin Feng was earlier, he had to run toward Qin Feng for safety at this time.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, quick! Let¡¯s fight hand in hand and kill this beast!¡± Lei Chen shouted.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that, I¡¯ll let you guys fight for a while. Otherwise the loot won¡¯t be equally distributedter!¡±

    ¡°Pssh!¡± When the python king saw Qin Feng, it immediately stopped in its tracks. It turned around and quickly slithered backward.

    It could still feel the pain of its broken tail. Although he hated Qin Feng, its fear overpowered its anger.

    After this intense battle, it was possible that the python king¡¯s powers would drop to D-tier!

    Lei Chen let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the python king was no longer pursuing after him. He was both relieved and unhappy.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, it¡¯s a bit early to say that, why don¡¯t we just y the python king first!¡± Lei Chen urged Qin Feng to go forward and fight.

    However, Qin Feng did not make a single move. ¡°I see that everyone was so pumped up to fight it, so I think I¡¯ll join in the fight once all of you¡¯re done. As the saying goes, you¡¯ll get a fair share of price depending on how much you¡¯ve contributed. So all of you will get your fair share of loot depending on how much you¡¯ve fought. What¡¯s the matter, are you thinking of giving up now?¡±

 Chapter 309 - You Get as Much as You Give

    <h4>Chapter 309: You Get as Much as You Give</h4>

    The others did not have time to idle around and talk, they were all heavily wounded!

    Right at this moment, the Golden-scaled Python King turned its head abruptly and slithered away!

    It was an intelligent being, knowing that it would die if it did not escape.

    Qin Feng scanned the five people around him and realized that they were too weak to continue the fight.

    Was this their attempt to fish in murky waters?

    Did they really think it was that easy to take advantage of Qin Feng?

    But to put it in another way, assuming that the old beast emperor were to die and its energy crystal was scavenged from its corpse, they might still be able to scavenge the leftover feathers. Besides that, it was possible that more than one beast king would die, and their journey would not be a waste.

    Unfortunately, Qin Feng had messed up all of their ns!

    Qin Feng did not bat an eye at them. He pursued after the Golden-scaled Python King instead.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng stepped on top of the python king¡¯s head.

    The python king could only feel a tremendous force pushing from the top of its head, pressing it against the ground. No matter how much it struggled, it was unable to shake the force off.

    Without the other half of its body, the python king was incredibly weak. Before this, it was no match for Qin Feng, let alone now!

    ¡°Overcast Dragon, Dragon m!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s powerful pnded on top of the python king¡¯s head.

    His internal force changed his hand into a giant w that pierced through the python king¡¯s head.

    Rip!

    The top of the python king¡¯s head was torn apart, painting its surroundings with flesh and blood.

    The python king¡¯s huge body twisted and convulsed, crushing the ground and destroying the trees around it.

    But its head was still firmly pressed onto the ground and it was unable to move it.

    In the end, the strugglested for almost ten minutes before it stopped moving.

    The Golden-scaled Python King was finally dead.

    Qin Feng felt a sudden rush of tremendous energy surging into his body, nourishing his flesh.

    In an instant, Qin Feng¡¯s physique was strengthened again.

    After all, this was a D-tier beast king he had in, and killing one D-tier beast king was as good as killing ten C-tier ordinary ultra beasts.

    Before this, Qin Feng¡¯s body was at E9-tier,parable to that of a beast king tier. Now, his body had finally advanced to D-tier!

    He unleashed his enhanced aura, which startled everyone around him.

    ¡°Wasn¡¯t he a D-tier before? Cough!¡± Zhai Ping got up from the ground with one hand supporting his chest.

    ¡°Impossible! If he doesn¡¯t have the ability to liquify his internal strength, how was he able to resist the python king¡¯s attacks?¡± Lei Chen was the first to retort, he refused to believe that Qin Feng had godly strength.

    He was strong enough to have single-handedly defeated the beast king, but if he were to defeat another one, would not that make him a demon?

    ¡°Lei Chen, you know him? Who the hell is he? I¡¯ve never heard of such an ungodly person from the Three Cities along the Sun!¡± Meng Lin, the lord of Niumeng City who had been knocked out before, walked out from the bushes. He was now a mess, with charred skin and burnt hair, and the supernatural energy from earlier almost roasted him alive.

    Hou Yangsheng and Tieh Xin also got up on their feet. The five of them gathered around this time andughed bitterly.

    Right at this moment, Qin Feng walked back toward them.

    Qin Feng¡¯s hands were dragging the python king¡¯s head toward them.

    The Golden-scaled Python King was already humongous, and now it was even more so when they could envy it from such close distance.

    They were also confused as to why Qin Feng had dragged the python¡¯s head to them.

    ¡°Like I said earlier, you get how much you give, now let me see!¡±

    Qin Feng put down the python king¡¯s head. He grabbed a handful of golden scales and ripped them off the python king¡¯s forehead.

    The scales located on the snake¡¯s head were smaller, unlike the ones located on the snake¡¯s abdomen which were at least the size of tes.

    Qin Feng grabbed the scales while pointing at a thin slit on its head.

    ¡°This is yours!¡±

    He scattered the scales and Zhai Ping rushed forward to pick them up, the expression on his face turned ugly.

    The slit was indeed inflicted by Zhai Ping¡¯s giant axe earlier.

    Zhai Ping was feeling utter shame after being pointed out by others on how little damage he had caused!

    However, Qin Feng had no intention of stopping and circled around the python king¡¯s head.

    ¡°These are scratched, and they belong to this gentleman!¡± They were small scratches on five of the scales. Qin Feng plucked them out and tossed them at Tieh Xin.

    ¡°Oh, and these ones were caused by strangtion, so they belong to this gentleman!¡± Seven to eight deformed scales were given to Hou Yangsheng.

    ¡°There are flesh wounds on this side, although I was the one who caused the trauma first, I¡¯ll still give this piece of meat to Lei Chen because I¡¯m generous!¡±

    Qin Feng said it in a serious manner. He divided out the loot that was deformed to them fair and square.

    He had incredible memory and acute senses. Having just watched the battle from the side for half a day, he naturally knew the kind of damage they had inflicted to the python king.

    To be exact, the damage they had caused was not as heavy as they should have been since they spent so much time fighting it. The heaviest blow which caused the python king to bleed profusely was inflicted by Qin Feng!

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry my friend, I couldn¡¯t find the damage you¡¯ve caused at the moment. I¡¯ll give you three scales as a friendship gift, and thank you for holding back!¡±

    Qin Feng took out three scales and handed them to Meng Lin. In fact, he either knew some of these people or had guessed their identities. Other than Lei Chen, he pretended to not know them.

    Qin Feng distributed their fair share of loot in a circle, none of them was left empty-handed.

    It was just that these people¡¯s faces were twisted with hatred and resentment.

    After all, there were still so many golden scales left on the python king¡¯s body, yet they only received four or five scales. As for Lei Chen, he only obtained snake meat, which was the most useless part of the python king¡¯s body.

    No matter how angry they were, they had no way to fight back.

    Looking at the scratch marks on the scales, they were really the ones who caused them.

    Meng Lin was the only person who was not angry. After all, he did not dare to act recklessly after seeing how powerful the python king was when Zhai Ping went after it.

    Only now, Meng Lin was at a loss as he looked at the threergest scales in his hand. After melting the scales, he could make it into a breastte.

    ¡°Let me introduce myself, I¡¯m Meng Lin, Lord of Niumeng City! May I know who you are? I¡¯ve never seen you before.¡± Meng Lin kept the scales in his spatial rune equipment and extended his hand at Qin Feng for a handshake.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyebrows were raised, but he did not refuse the other party¡¯s courtesy.

    He waved his hand and the front half of the python king¡¯s body disappeared from his hands.

    ¡°Pleasure to meet you, I¡¯m Qin Feng, the mayor of the colony around Chengyang City!¡±

    Meng Lin was a little surprised, and he found it odd. He never expected Qin Feng to be a city mayor.

    For such a person to be the mayor of arge colony was not all that surprising to him, at the very least he should be a troop general.

    But these were just thoughts and doubts that shed in Meng Lin¡¯s head. He changed his tone in an instant.

    ¡°Such a capable young man!¡±

    ¡°Ah, you¡¯re too kind!¡±

    ¡°Mayor Qin, it was I, who was a bit out of my depth earlier. I just wanted toe over to test the waters, I hope you wouldn¡¯t take it as an offense!¡±

    From the start, Meng Lin thought that he could also easily defeat the python king after seeing that Qin Feng had in it with ease, but he was wrong and it was quite humiliating for him to say it out loud!

    Qin Feng did not expect Meng Lin to admit it so quickly, and for a moment he also changed his mind about Meng Lin.

 Chapter 310 - Beast Emperorâ€™s Crystal Core

    <h4>Chapter 310: Beast Emperor¡¯s Crystal Core</h4>

    ¡°Don¡¯t be. We are just helping each other out. Ultimately, our goal is the same, which is to exterminate the beasts. Otherwise, human civilization would be pushed to the brink of extinction,¡± Qin Feng answered with a standard answer. He was not going to tell these people honestly that his objective of killing the beast was to absorb their energy for his own use.

    Well, they hunted the beast for its materials as well. Qin Feng was guilt-free telling the tant lie.

    Lei Chen scoffed. ¡°Since you have said so, why don¡¯t you share the beast body with everyone? What¡¯s the good of hoarding it? We will have a better chance of surviving if everyone is strengthened. There¡¯s strength in numbers.¡±

    Qin Feng turned to Lei Chen and smirked. ¡°Strength in numbers? You sure?¡± He scanned them and mocked, ¡°Unfortunately, that¡¯s not how I see it.¡±

    That was such a sarcastic remark.

    These people could not eveny a finger on the Golden-scaled Python king just now despite the number. More so, some of them were beaten hard by the beast king.

    ¡®Strength in numbers my a*s! These guys are just a bunch of trash!¡¯

    Cough. Even Meng Lin, who had treated Qin Feng courteously, felt a p in the face.

    Suddenly, an explosion was heard from the far side.

    They gazed up and saw a mushroom cloud rise at the peak of Tangshan Ridge. They immediately figured out what had just happened though nobody saw it.

    ¡°It must be Han Yuanzheng. What an opportunist,¡± Meng Lin chided. Undoubtedly, the gunner was having an advantage in such a situation.

    The beast king and emperor were busy fighting each other at the moment. They would not care who had just released the less threatening missile from afar.

    The fierce battle on the peak was nearing its closure.

    The fire surrounding the Blue me Peacock Emperor was less than a meter high now. Without the me, the body of the peacock was left exposed.

    It looked like a giant bird without its feathers. The peacock had been pushed to its limit.

    The other two beasts were not in good shape either.

    One of the Cold Gaze Tiger¡¯s eyes had been pecked off, leaving behind arge hole in its socket. Crimson Gori, on the other hand, faltered after being heavily burned.

    Seizing the opportunity where the three beasts were heavily wounded, Han Yuanzheng called the shot decisively.

    This was the exact moment those lurking around wished to see.

    Lei Chen did not say another word and was first to dash out. Hou Yangsheng, Tieh Xin, and Zhai Ping quickly followed suit.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, let¡¯s move too. We should kill these D-tier beasts for the safety of the two nearby cities. Otherwise, any of the three monsters would instantly demolish the cities along the sun or the North Sea if they get out from here.¡±

    There was hardly anyone who could resist the destructive force of a D-tier beast king.

    Though the battle against the Golden-scaled Python king seemed rxed, the impact of the battle did copse the trees and rocks within a kilometer radius.

    Imagine if the fight had taken ce in a city center. No skyscraper or building could withstand such a colossal battle.

    That was the true terror of D-tier beasts.

    The people hiding in the dark finally revealed themselves.

    Mayor of Fu City, Fu Qi; fourth-elder of the Xue family, Xue Yumang; Ye Qun from Qin City; and Po Tiangyang from Chengyang City.

    Han Yuanzheng, who had been staying at the perimeter all this while, was also rushing frantically toward the mountain top.

    They knew this was the best time to carve up the loot since the beast kings and emperor were heavily injured

    ¡°Quick, kill the beast kings first!¡±

    ¡°The emperor is dying anyway. The real threat lies in the beast kings!¡±

    ¡°Give it your best!¡±

    The human team split into two groups to finish off the two beast kings first.

    In fact, Han Yuanzheng had actually used his missile to stop the Crimson Gori king fromnding the final blow on the aged emperor.

    After all, if the gori killed the emperor and took its core, then there was a high possibility that it would be the next emperor.

    The emperor was going to be killed either way, but it cannot die in the hands of another beast.

    However, one man never yed by the rule. This person was none other than Qin Feng, who thought differently from the rest of them.

    To him, this was a golden opportunity to assault the weaker emperor when others were concentrating on the stronger beast kings.

    ¡®I owe you guys a big thank you!¡¯

    Everyone else was consumed by the battle and no one noticed Qin Feng¡¯s intention.

    Qin Feng ignited his internal force and dashed toward the peak covered in mes.

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng had reached the peak of the mountain. The nest was of the size of two football fields. Giant trees around fell on each other and formed a natural barricade. But such hindrance was nothing to a veteran ancient warrior like Qin Feng. He leaped lightly and hopped over the fallen trees without breaking a sweat.

    Soon, Qin Feng came to face the old emperor.

    The scorching aura of the beast emperor had still not deserted itpletely but Qin Feng could tell that the emperor was nearing its end, judging by its weaker and weaker breath.

    ¡°Goodbye, emperor!¡± Qin Feng triggered his conscious energy as he spoke

    A dark light abruptly emerged from under his legs. The light sipped through the giant wooden nest and spread right up to the abdomen of the beast emperor.

    The dark light then prated the beast¡¯s skin and infiltrated its rotting organs.

    Dark rune released by Qin Feng had elerated the beast emperor¡¯s death.

    The peacock slowly shut its lifeless eyes, and its head hung lifelessly. The me on its body had been extinguished as well!

    Qin Feng could feel that a massive pool of conscious energy was flowing into his mind through the dark thread. His absorption ability had begun to take effect.

    Consciousness level up!

    D-tier aptitude user!

    Qin Feng could now grasp all the tiny movements in his surroundings.

    In the next moment, he pointed his finger at the beast emperor¡¯s head.

    Pop!

    The emperor¡¯s body was too fragile at this stage. Its skull was instantly shattered and a burning orb soon ascended from inside.

    The orb burned so brightly that it lit the sky blue.

    Perhaps no one at the scene, including the city mayor or ancient warriors from renowned families, had witnessed such a spectacle before.

    The amount of energy stored within the core was undoubtedly catastrophic.

    Those in the battle were distracted by the massive energy source and turned to look for it.

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Ability core?¡±

    ¡°The emperor is dead? How?¡±

    It happened all too quickly when no one was paying attention.

    ¡°Who did that?¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng! It¡¯s him again!¡± Lei Chen¡¯s face twitched in anger.

    ¡°What¡¯s with him! Damn!¡±

    The others did not know what to say.

    However, their actions were unexpectedly consistent. They were rushing toward Qin Feng all at the same time.

    The allure of the emperor¡¯s core was simply too huge to resist.

    Inside that core, there was one thing that could not be found in an ordinary beast core.

    The root of power.

    Beast emperor crystal cores could significantly elevate the potential of an aptitude user of the same tier.

    Simply put, the ceiling of an ordinary D-tier aptitude user would be much higher after absorbing the power of an emperor core.

    This was a life-changing opportunity. It was safe to say the gaining of an emperor core could instantlyunch an aptitude user to the pinnacle of power in this world.

    That was why the core was so tempting.

    Even a beast king yearned for such power to evolve into an emperor.

 Chapter 311 - Beast Emperor Legacy; Dual-Type Ability

    <h4>Chapter 311: Beast Emperor Legacy; Dual-Type Ability</h4>

    The rest of the group had reached the mountain peak as well.

    Qin Feng had already gotten his hands on the beast core when they arrived.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng did not hesitate and smashed the core with his punch.

    Vicious energy gushed out from the core and inmed the area.

    Boom!

    Energy waves radiated out from the core, which almost surpassed that of the Blue me Phoenix.

    A miniature sun gradually descended onto Qin Feng¡¯s palm.

    ¡°The seed of the beast emperor!¡± Lei Chen envied it and wished he was in Qin Feng¡¯s position.

    But the vicious force from the core pinned him t on the ground. He could not bring himself to advance no matter how hard he tried.

    The two beast kings were the least affected on the scene.

    Roar! Cold Gaze Tiger howled angrily and called upon a blizzard.

    Crimson Gori also gibbered furiously and swung both its arms. Two green vinesshed out from its palm aiming to entangle Qin Feng, or even better if it could directly prate Qin Feng¡¯s chest.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was still shielding his body but he had no confidence that it could withstand the attack from the two beast kings.

    This was when ady in white cloth suddenly appeared in front of Qin Feng.

    It was Bai Li.

    A light shield formed from runes appeared around them. The silver-colored force field looked extremely unique.

    Blizzardnded first and covered the entire area, making it hard to see clearly. On the other hand, the vines whipped through the air but suddenly went silent.

    This was because the vine hade in contact with the silver shield.

    The shield was made using her spatial ability. Any attack that passes through it would be directed into a different dimension.

    Qin Feng acted fearlessly with such tight protection.

    Ability¡ªabsorb!

    Qin Feng raised his head and a vortex appeared on his nasal bridge.

    The energy from the core was assimted by Qin Feng. The miniature sun gradually dimmed as its energy flowed into Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness.

    The light ball entered Qin Feng¡¯s mind like a meteor. It flew across the mental realm like a shooting star and collided with the giant diamond in it.

    Boom!

    A giant peacock totem abruptly appeared on the after the impact.

    That was the emperor¡¯s legacy.

    Qin Feng had just inherited the Blue me Peacock¡¯s tremendous power¡ªA type of mutated me, Blue me.

    If Hellfire was created by Qin Feng through contaminating the fire runes with his dark force, then the blue me was considered an entirely different entity. It had be Qin Feng¡¯s second ability and made him an actual dual-type ability user now.

    That was not the end of it.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was still expanding thanks to the peacock¡¯s power. He could tell that the potential of his conscious level had just improved slightly. The ceiling had been elevated beyond SS tier, just slightly short of the SSS tier.

    This was what made the beast emperor core a remarkable resource. The ability core of a beast emperor could easily transform a mediocre ability user into a prodigy with endless potential.

    There was another type known as the emperor power core, which naturally helped to strengthen one¡¯s physicality.

    The core from the Blue me Peacock was obviously the former, which suited Qin Feng best.

    Qin Feng¡¯s absorption abilitypletely digested the miniature sun in the blink of an eye. The burst of new energy upgraded his conscious energy rapidly.

    His consciousness had long reached the king level with the aid of Godwill As coupled with his innate talent.

    Now, after devouring the emperor¡¯s ability core, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had evolved into the D-tier emperor level.

    A horrifying aura soon overran the area.

    ¡°Xiao Bai, that¡¯s enough.¡± Qin Feng leveled his head and saw that Bai Li was resisting the assaults by the two beast kings. The peak had turned into a snowy mountain while multiple spikes on the vines were trying to crack open their defense.

    ¡°Hubby, you seem to have grown even stronger.¡± Bai Li grinned.

    ¡°Of course. Now it¡¯s my turn to protect you, wifey,¡± Qin Feng said and pulled Bai Li close to his chest.

    With his consciousness, Qin Feng raised a blue-colored me around him. The me felt exactly like the one from the Blue me Peacock earlier.

    Bai Li had fought hard against the two D-tier beast kings alone. If not because of her unique ability as a spatial beast, she might have already sumbed to the pressure. She looked paler than usual and sweat could be seen perspiring on her forehead. It was easy to tell how exhaustive the battle was.

    After Qin Feng hadpleted the absorption of the core, Bai Li finally removed the shield.

    Almost simultaneously, the spiky vines proliferated wildly after the barrier was gone, and it struck at Qin Feng like numerous swords.

    Boom!

    A greater blue me exploded around Qin Feng.

    Thebustion instantaneously burned the vines and melted the snow around them.

    Peacock Feather!

    In the next moment, two blue wings appeared on Qin Feng¡¯s back. He used the wing as a glider and shot to the air carried by the heatwaves.

    On top of the Tangshan Mountain, the eleven D-tier users watched motionlessly.

    The nest at the peak was now ravaged by blizzards and covered up by vines. They could not sense any living human being in it.

    ¡°Are they dead?¡± Hou Yangsheng broke the silence and asked.

    ¡°What a pity for the beauty to die at such a young age.¡± Xue Yumang giggled creepily.

    As they were prepared to contest for the emperor¡¯s core with the expectation that the two must have died in the hands of the beast kings, the thick snow suddenly cracked from the middle.

    Blue light emerged from within and once again lit up the night sky.

    ¡°It¡¯s out!¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s the core?¡±

    ¡°The core is mine! I will kill anyone who dares to get in my way!¡±

    They were on high alert. But something unexpected once again unfolded in front of their eyes.

    The emperor¡¯s core did not appear. It was instead a man.

    Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng flew out from the snow and blue mes instantly erupted around him. The mes spread out a few hundred meters and melted every inch of snow, turning them into streams that flowed down the mountain.

    ¡°Awoo!!¡± The Cold Gaze Tiger king bellowed in fear.

    It felt the pressure that was supposed to be found only in the old beast emperor.

    The aura of a sovereign.

    Qin Feng put down Bai Li and soared to the sky once again.

    ¡°Die!¡± Qin Feng unsheathed the Verdant Emperor Saber, which carried a shade of blue now.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    The attack instantly chopped the Cold Gaze Tiger king into half.

    Poof!

    Blood sshed out from the cut body.

    The two parts were caught by Qin Feng effortlessly and he wasted no time to put them into his spatial equipment.

    Qin Feng changed direction in mid-air and dove toward the Crimson Gori king.

    The beast king had long fled with its tail in between its legs.

    The mountain was surrounded by dense forest. The Crimson Gori king sprinted in the forest frantically and crossed a hilltop within seconds.

    ¡®It¡¯s useless. I will give you a swift death.¡±

    Qin Feng crashed rapidly onto thend like a blue shooting star.

 Chapter 312 - Everybody Wants a Bite!

    <h4>Chapter 312: Everybody Wants a Bite!</h4>

    The Crimson Gori king was already horribly beaten up.

    Qin Feng did not hesitate. He triggered his consciousness, and a rash of blue mes soon covered the sky.

    The fire then slowly took the form of a peacock with its wings spanned out.

    ¡°Peacock ze!¡±

    The fiery peacock dove and caught the Crimson Gori king in no time.

    Boom!

    The blue me exploded into energy waves and sted onto the gori. The Crimson Gori king was sent flying by the impact and rolled down the mountain like a sliding rock.

    Qin Feng made no dy andmanded his conscious energy once again.

    ¡°Magma!¡±

    Instantly, magma surged up from the ground and drowned the gori.

    ¡°Roar!¡± The Crimson Gori king shrieked in despair but that did not stop it from sinking into the burningva.

    Almost an entire side of the hill had turned into flowingva. It showed just how powerful Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had be.

    The Crimson Gori king was unable to free itself from theva and sank deeper and deeper until it could no longer feel its body. Only its head was left on the outside now.

    ¡°Return!¡±

    Qin Feng retracted the fire runes and ceased the magma. The scorched earth turned ck with the Crimson Gori king still holding its struggling pose.

    But the gori was no longer moving. Qin Feng walked up and lifted off its skull cap with the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Underneath the red fur on top of its head was a protruding knob that was a rare and valuable material, while inside his skull sat a basketball-sized green core.

    Unlike the Cold Gaze Tiger king whereby most of its parts were useful, there was not much value in other body parts of the gori so Qin Feng saved himself the trouble of digging up the corpse.

    Qin Feng once again garnered a great fortune by killing three beast kings and a beast emperor.

    Schawff! Schawff! Schawff!

    A few figures promptly appeared beside Qin Feng. They were the ability users that hade to hunt the beast kings and emperor in this mutated forest.

    Qin Feng red at them unapologetically.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Don¡¯t tell me youe to ask for loot? The best I can offer is the gori¡¯s fur.¡±

    There were only some red furs left on the monster¡¯s amputated head.

    Lei Chen and others, who had taken advantage of Qin Feng before, were embarrassed and appeared grim.

    Those who did not, meanwhile, looked at Qin Feng solemnly.

    ¡°So you are the mayor of Fengli colony, Qin Feng!¡± Bo Tianyang stepped out and greeted Qin Feng.

    Bo Tianyang was the mayor of Chengyang City. He was seldom involved directly in the city administration and spent most of the time in the field. It was only through constant training andbat that he could be powerful enough to protect his city.

    This was actually the first time the two of them hade face to face with each other. But Bo Tianyang must have heard of Qin Feng before since he was the culprit behind the extermination of the Xin family in Chengyang.

    ¡°Nice to meet you, Mayor.¡± Qin Feng nodded back.

    Though Qin Feng¡¯s colony was under Chengyang¡¯s jurisdiction, his D-tier status meant that he was now on equal ground with Bo Tianyang.

    ¡°It¡¯s hard to imagine your incredible spurt in such a short time.¡± Bo Tianyang was full of astonishment. He had been following Qin Feng¡¯s development closely.

    Qin Feng started to make a name for himself roughly a year ago. Bo Tianyang just viewed him as a rather fortunate youngster when Qin Feng secured Fengli after only being awakened for one month.

    In hindsight, luck was probably also part of a person¡¯s true strength.

    ¡®This young man has be D-tier now! Such an astronomical rise is unheard of.¡¯

    ¡°It is all thanks to your guidance.¡± Qin Feng was simply being courteous. Both of them knew Bo Tianyang had little to do with Qin Feng¡¯s sess.

    The Fourth Elder from the Xue family cared little about courtesy since his mind was filled only by greed and cruelty. He bemoaned sullenly, ¡°We had been waiting for days, then you appeared out of the blue and ruined everything for us. You are not leaving if you don¡¯t hand out something.¡±

    Qin Feng turned to Xue Yumang with a sharp re. He sneered. ¡°This must be Xue Elder. May I ask which elder I am speaking to?¡±

    It was easy to identify a member from the Xue family since they never bothered to conceal the scent of blood on them.

    Xue Yumang thought Qin Feng would be frightened by the Xue family reputation so he quickly announced, ¡°I am the fourth elder, Xue Yumang!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and said, ¡°I wonder if you have heard about what happened to your family after staying in this forest for so many days. The other elders from the Xue family had been killed, and you are thest man standing. Are you sure you want to stir up a conflict with me here and now?¡±

    Xue Yumang¡¯s face turned horrendous.

    Who did not know about what had happened to the Xue family?

    Xue Yumang stared at Qin Feng like an enraged cobra. He finally realized that Qin Feng was not afraid of the Xue family. Their family¡¯s prestige as a frightful n had beenpletely shattered by Bloodhunter. The Xue family was now everyone¡¯sughing stock.

    ¡°What do you mean? Do you dare to touch me?¡± Xue Yumang asked with a trembling voice.

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze became colder. ¡°Why can¡¯t I? We are on opposing sides to begin with. Besides, you are the one who poked my patience first!¡±

    ¡°Stop your nonsense, brat. Don¡¯t forget we still have a C-tier in the Xue family!¡±

    Those around were startled by the im.

    That was true. No matter how low the Xue family might have fallen, they still had a C-tier user.

    The wealth of a C-tier user was not something they could grasp. A few emperor cores would be enough to re-establish the Xue family back into its past glory.

    Xue Yumang wanted to remind them that the core of the Xue family had not crumbled yet.

    ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s cool it off.¡± Bo Tianyang chipped in and relieved the tension.

    D-tiers were considered the strongest existence around the North Sea and the three cities. More so, those on the scene were mostly influential tycoons of their respective regions.

    The rivalry between the tycoons was no longer as simple as that among low-tier aptitude users.

    Too many things were at stake, and the price for an all-out battle was simply too huge.

    Hence, they resolved conflicts by talking most of the time.

    However, Xue Yumang would be too na?ve if he thought that he could take a bite off Qin Feng through empty threats.

    Qin Feng scoffed as he could see through the others¡¯ intentions. They might not be as tant as Xue Yumang, but Qin Feng knew that they had the same thought for showing up in front of him.

    ¡°So what if you all have been waiting here for more than half a month? It might sound like a lot of tedious work, but in reality, you guys have done nothing meaningful. I bet even your movement around this area has been greatly restricted.¡±

    After all, they were only general level at best. No one had reached the king level like Qin Feng.

    Predictably, they would not dare to wander around freely when groups of beasts and several beast kings were roaming the mountain.

    How thick was their face to ask for shares when they had almost zero contribution to the hunt?

 Chapter 313 - ero Tolerance

    <h4>Chapter 313: Zero Tolerance</h4>

    Qin Feng had zero tolerance for such bullsh*t.

    ¡°Though I have only been here since yesterday, I am the one who put things into action. It was me who sneaked into the Golden-scaled Python king¡¯sir. I was the one who stole its eggs. I was, again, the one who left an egg inside the emperor¡¯s nest!¡±

    Qin Feng pointed at the mountain top where Blue me Peacock Emperor once resided.

    Some of them were unaware of the details. They were baffled after hearing the chain of events for the first time.

    How did Qin Feng manage such outrageous acts?

    ¡°If not because of my actions, the fight between the three kings and the emperor would never have happened. In the end, I was the one who slew all four of them too!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s burning gaze could almost roast everyone¡¯s face.

    ¡°I believe none of you would defy my supremacy after what had happened. My strength speaks for itself. Wouldn¡¯t you all fear that I might seek revenge in the future after bullying me to hand out the materials today?¡±

    Their eyes began to flutter rapidly.

    Undoubtedly, Qin Feng¡¯s potential was beyond imagination.

    If potential were all Qin Feng had, then they would not mind killing him now and robbing his possession. The problem was, Qin Feng did have the ability, evident by how he had finished off four superior beasts single-handedly.

    It would not be easy to kill Qin Feng even if they were willing to work together.

    Qin Feng spoke again. ¡°This ce belongs to the beast kings. Useful herbs and fruits can be found everywhere. Instead of arguing pointlessly with me here, why not spend your time harvesting useful materials around these hills? Who knows when the next time we are allowed to set foot on Tangshan Ridge would be?¡±

    The resources here would soon be conquered by other species after the beast kings were gone. Nobody knew what kind of beast would migrate here in the future.

    The others had no choice after what Qin Feng said. They gave in bitterly because Qin Feng was simply too overwhelming. None of them would stand a chance against him.

    Besides, they clearly grasped the hidden message in Qin Feng¡¯s words¡ªKnow your ce and don¡¯t cross the line.

    ¡°I agree with Mr. Qin. Let¡¯s take this opportunity while the mountains are still vacant. We should move at once and collect as many materials as we can. We will not enjoy such leisure once the beasts have returned to these peaks.¡± Meng Lin, the mayor of Niumeng city said.

    That was their only option left. Most of them turned and looked at Qin Feng.

    ¡°No need to look at me like that. I am leaving now.¡± Qin Feng imed. He did not have the slightest interest in harvesting herbs.

    Those rare ones most probably would have been consumed by the Blue me Peacock Emperor to lengthen its dwindling life.

    Even if there were some left, Qin Feng would not invest his effort in looking, which was time-consuming and had little return.

    Moreover, high-tier herbs would usually morph to hide from herbivores or humans. It would take days to plow through the entire Tangshan mountain.

    ¡°Great! In that case, we will look for the herbs peacefully. The herbs would belong to its first discoverer. I hope there will be no further conflict among us today.¡± Meng Lin spoke with a smile and cleverlyid down the ground rule.

    Everyone else nodded in agreement.

    Except for Xue Yumang. He was still peering resentfully at Qin Feng, probably plotting on a n to take him down when no one was watching.

    Nevertheless, he left with everyone in the end to search for herbs. One man stayed behind and he walked up to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, I have heard a lot about you. Your E-tier badge was given out by my city if I remember correctly.¡± It was the mayor of Fu City, Fu Qi, who tried to be friendly.

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Didn¡¯t expect to see you here, Mr. Fu.¡± Qin Feng shook his hand.

    ¡°I will cut straight to the point. Are you willing to let go of the core of the Crimson Gori king?¡±

    The Crimson Gori king was a wood-type ultra beast, and Fu Qi happened to be a wood-type ability user.

    ¡°Are you interested?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Yes. My offer is sixteen billion. What¡¯s your call?¡± Fu Qi gritted his teeth and offered.

    This amount was almost his entire possession. But a D-tier beast king core was indeed worth that much money.

    Qin Feng nodded and agreed to the deal. ¡°Good enough.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Mr. Qin!¡±

    They traded on the spot and Qin Feng earned yet another huge profit.

    ¡°I have called the hover copter from Zhongcheng and n to return immediately. I can give you a ride home if you don¡¯t mind.¡± Qin Feng kindly offered. Fu Qi would not be entirely safe in the wild now. He was not particrly strong and might be targeted by people with ill-intent like Xue Yumang after they had openly traded the core.

    Now, it depended on whether Fu Qi would trust Qin Feng.

    ¡°That would be wonderful! I can¡¯t thank you enough.¡±

    Fu Qi epted it without hesitation. He had heard of Qin Feng¡¯s conduct and believed that he was a trustworthy person.

    Two hourster, the first light of dawn broke the darkness.

    A hover copter was seen hovering above Tangshan Ridge. It was the same chopper that had fetched Qin Feng over the day before.

    The helicopternded safely. Not a single beast dared to approach the flying machine as they were daunted by Qin Feng¡¯s emperor aura.

    ¡°You first, Mr. Fu.¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡± The vines under Fu Qi¡¯s legs helped him to board the hover copter effortlessly. With Bai Li in his arms, Qin Feng kicked lightly andnded graciously on the cabin floor afterward.

    ¡°Mayor Qin!¡± Ke Xiangzuo greeted them and asked curiously, ¡°You are going back with Mayor Fu? Has the battle here ended?¡±

    Fu Qi was a gentle person and he was still in a great mood after gaining the ability core. Heughed lightheartedly. ¡°That¡¯s right! We had been camping here for ten days for nothing. Mr. Qin was only here for a day and every beast king was done for!¡±

    Ke Xiangzhuo was even more intrigued.

    After all, he had experienced the immense trepidation of this area first-hand before. He was willing to answer the call this time only because Qin Feng had permitted him tond in a much safer zone.

    Otherwise, Ke Xiangzuo would not havee near this ce again. The money would be meaningless if he were to die earning it.

    ¡°I just prefer action more than waiting. Nothing is going to happen if we don¡¯t do something.¡±

    ¡°Even so, very few can do what you did!¡± Fu Qimented. Who else would have enough courage to infiltrate Golden-scaled Python king¡¯sir?

    When he thought about it, Fu Qi realized that Qin Feng must have taken a few eggs with him. Unfortunately, the embryo inside was probably dead by now.

    Anyhow, the eggs would still serve as a good nutritious source to boost one¡¯s strength.

    This was when Bai Li leaned toward Qin Feng and muttered, ¡°I like the peacock feathers¡¯ color. Can I use them to make a dress?¡±

    Those feathers were, after all, materials from a beast emperor. Bai Li had learned enough to know that they should not be usedvishly.

    ¡°Hmm... How many feathers are there?¡± Qin Feng had no intention to hide it from others. He did n to put them up for sale in the ck market.

    ¡°About a hundred, I think.¡±

    The feathers came in different lengths. It would have been a tremendous sight if the Blue me Peacock emperor were to fan its gigantic tail. Sadly, they would never have the chance to see it now that the beast emperor was killed.

    A hundred was actually not a lot.

    ¡°There¡¯s a lot. Just use them as you please,¡± Qin Feng said and passed over the Magical Tesseract to Bai Li. ¡°It¡¯s easier to make the dress with this.¡±

    ¡°Thanks, hubby!¡± Bai Li blew Qin Feng a kiss and moved to the other side of the cabin.

    The materials she took out subsequently made both the E-tier pilot and D-tier city mayor extremely jealous.

    ¡®These two are sumptuously rich!¡¯

 Chapter 314 - The Exotic Verdant Emperor Saber

    <h4>Chapter 314: The Exotic Verdant Emperor Saber</h4>

    Qin Feng was used to taking care of those who were close to him, but not outsiders.

    Being a beast king herself, Bai Li had extremely high defensive capabilities, and Qin Feng knew very well that adding protective tools for her would be totally unnecessary.

    However, Qin Feng did not stop Bai Li from using those precious materials for the sake of her own satisfaction.

    It would only require less than five peacock feathers toplete a dress for her, while Qin Feng could easily obtain hundreds of them from a single trip. Would it not be reasonable to reward Bai Li as she had been helping him in collecting items, keeping Qin Feng secure during their escape, and protecting him while he was absorbing beast emperor cores?

    Everyone else was not aware of all these.

    None of them would know that every man who had seeded would often be supported by a sessful woman from behind the scenes.

    All three men that were on the hover copter did not have much interaction with each other, and Fu Qi was extremely exhausted from the battle that continued throughout the entire night.

    Although the battle was not that intense for Qin Feng, he did not want to bring up any further conversation with Ke Xiangzuo, and he chose to close his eyes as he began to organize his conscious energy that had spiked tremendously.

    Qin Feng¡¯s physical capabilities had now achieved that of a D-tier emperor, and it was equivalent to a D-tier beast king.

    While his conscious energy was of D-tier emperor level, and it was equivalent to a D-tier beast emperor.

    His internal strength was at ten pools of liquid, and it was ten times higher than a D-tier ancient warrior.

    Qin Feng had nowpletely discarded his identity as a low-level aptitude user!

    If E, F and G-tiers were to be considered as low-level aptitude users, D and C-tiers would be middle-level aptitude users, A and B-tiers would be high-level, while S-tier would already be at master-level!

    Low-level aptitude users could only provide rear protection and were not allowed to participate in battles at the frontline.

    ¡®As soon as I get back, I would need to first obtain the certification as a D-tier aptitude user!¡¯

    ¡°I would have to reorganize my assets to exchange for resources at the frontline, the Three Cities along the Sun arecking in resources!¡¯

    ¡®Before that, there are still things that need to be taken care of!¡¯

    Time passed by as these thoughts ran through Qin Feng¡¯s mind, the hover copter took the firstnding to send Fu Qi off, only then it arrived at Fengli colony.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, if you are thinking about going to the frontline, I can get you there!¡± Ke Xiangzuo uttered.

    Ke Xiangzuo was already able to confirm that Qin Feng had now achieved D-tier!

    ¡°Alright, be safe, thank you!¡± Qin Feng bid farewell as he waved his hand.

    Ke Xiangzuo took off with the hover copter as Qin Feng led Bai Li into the manor.

    Only then, they were left to their own private space.

    ¡°Take a look at this dress, what do you think?¡± Bai LI immediately took out a dress, it was incorporated with a design of bright coloured peacock feathers that faded from the waist down, like the tail of a fish that seemed to light up the entire dress.

    It looked very beautiful indeed.

    ¡°Try it on!¡± Qin Fen replied.

    Bai Li changed into it while Qin Feng silently checked on his nose to confirm that his nose was not bleeding from the excitement.

    Soon, Bai Li had put on the dress and looked as if she was the princess of the jungle.

    ¡°Gorgeous!¡± Qin Feng gave hispliment as he nodded.

    ¡°You should also have a matching one!¡± Bai Li suggested.

    Qin Feng was caught betweenughter and tears. ¡°Not for me, wouldn¡¯t I turn into a peacock showcasing its tail if I were to put on the peacock attire? I am a man!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, poor beauty judgement!¡±

    ¡°As long as it suits you well!¡±

    Qin Feng had a short squabble with Bai Li and took out the Magical Tesseract to allow her to take out the peacock feathers.

    Qin Feng immediately put his Verdant Emperor Saber back into the Magical Tesseract.

    ¡°Now that I have put Sky Burning Sword Style into often use, it has been adapting very well, and both hellfire and the blue mes are functioning well too, with the higher temperature of the blue mes, greater efficiency would definitely be achievable by modifying the Verdant Emperor Saber!¡±

    Qin Feng was nning to insert the peacock feathers one after another.

    The required number was rather low, as only thirty of the longest and most luxurious feathers were required.

    As soon as the feathers had been infused into the Verdant Emperor Saber, blue light began to emit from the surface, and as itbined with the materials from before, the saber had undergone another round of transformation.

    ¡°Compress!¡±

    Within the manufacturing space of the Magical Tesseract, the required amplification and merging of the conscious energy was performed.

    As the same amount of volume underwent higherpression, the more effective it would be.

    Soon, the saber went through rapid changes as it was being modified from a broad saber into a slim and elongated katana.

    Along with its length, the sparkle was also being amplified.

    The entire saber was lit up with burning mes.

    ¡°Engage!¡±

    Qin Feng triggered his conscious energy and the Verdant Emperor Saber appeared again.

    Dynamic changes took ce on the Verdant Emperor Saber along with Qin Feng¡¯s energy, capability, andbat style.

    Now, the Verdant Emperor Saber had be a beast emperor tier rune equipment, and it could even be ssified as an ability rune equipment!

    The appearance of the saber itself was already horrifyingly intimidating.

    Unexpectedly, it was a saber that was lit up with blue mes!

    The saber was measured at 158 centimetres in length, 23 centimetres from its handle, 135 centimetres from its edge, 5 centimetres in width and approximately 1 centimetre thick.

    Compared with the previous appearance, the saber had shrunk for about five times from its original size.

    The fish scales had faded from the saber and it was reced with peacock feather stripes that were blurred by the mes that circle around.

    The saber was definitely unique to have a greenish-blue glow on it!

    There was no other rune equipment that had taken this form.

    ¡°Unfortunately, there were no more cores that were left from the beast emperor, if not, would it just rece the rune equipment?¡±

    However, the beast emperor tier Verdant Emperor Saber would already be sufficient to rece the Scarlet Fire w.

    ¡°I do not need any of the remaining materials, why not exchange all of them with money at the frontline!¡± Qin Feng had that thought as he was sorting out the rewards.

    There were one hundred and eight peacock feathers in total, and its length ranged from three meters to more than ten meters. Bai Li had used three of the shorter ones for her dress, and Qin Feng had used thirty from the longer ones, the value of the remaining seventy five would definitely be overwhelming!

    The fire ability-type ultra beast emperor material would most probably only be able to be traded with items that were of the same value!

    Next, there were other beast king materials.

    Scales of the Golden-scaled Python King, D-tier beast king tier, and a light ability core.

    Crown of the Crimson Gori King, one and a half metre in diameter, and thirty centimetres in thickness.

    Qin Feng was rewarded with several king tier materials that were extremely precious and valuable.

    Without any doubt, Qin Feng would also be a wealthy person as soon as he had arrived at the frontline!

    However, he would first need to take care of Fengli colony as the trip there would mean that he would be gone for three months.

    ***

    In Fengli colony, in a hidden basement, an area that waspletely silvery-white in color, not even a speck of dust in sight.

    ¡°Mayor!¡±

    ¡°How is the information decryption going?

    ¡°We had a major breakthrough and it was reorganized sessfully! Mayor Qin, take a look, allow me to brief you through it!¡±

    Qin Feng was apanied by a few people who were wearing whiteb coats as he entered theboratory that was filled with machineries andputers.

    It was filled with all sorts of materials.

    Qin Feng had been funding the operation of theboratory.

    The relevant information was referring to those that were obtained by Professor Wang from theboratory located outside Fu City.

    As there were no findings from the superficial clues, Qin Feng had decided to locate the Z Organization from a different approach.

    In order to sustain the experiments that were operated by the Z Organization, it would require a huge amount of financial funding, therefore, it must be backed by a solid profitability, or else, who would be willing to finance such aboratory experiment?

    From both of theboratories that were found by Qin Feng, they were all managed by those that were holding insignificant positions in their organizations.

    Would Qin Feng be satisfied with that?

    Know your enemy well, and you shall triumph in every battle.

 Chapter 315 - Revert Potion

    <h4>Chapter 315: Revert Potion</h4>

    A young person who seemed to be above thirty stood before Qin Feng with a dense dark circle.

    It was the biology research professor that was hired by Qin Feng as a researcher.

    In the era where only capability spoke the loudest, ordinary people would take up the profession of a professor in order to live a better life.

    The professor was known as Bai Yi, a capable assistant of Bo Tianyang in his past life, but now it was intercepted by Qin Feng¡¯s recruitment.

    ¡°Carry on!¡± Qin Feng spoke.

    ¡°From the information that you have provided, there were more than ten main projects!¡±

    ¡°Researches have been targeted on cats, pigs, bears, rats, hawks, and other ultra beasts, and experimental targets would be set after undergoing gicparison, and theirbat power would experience a tremendous spike upon their transformation into mutants.¡±

    ¡°Upon thepletion of their mass research, amonly used potion was developed by them, and it is referred to as the revert potion!¡±

    ¡°These potions were the defected versions of the awakening potion, or the mutated version of it. ording to researchers, it has been developed since the beginning of the end times to awaken unique genes in the human body to be more powerful, it is rather unexpected that after more than a hundred years, the effort is still ongoing!¡±

    ¡°Research on the revert potion has undergone several enhancements and the probability of mutation is rather high, whereby ordinary human beings would have a 20% chance of mutation. However, the results of such mutation were rather weak. On the other hand, those who have been awakened would have 60% chance of mutation, and upon mutation, they might even achieve beast general or beast king tier.¡±

    Qin Feng had witnessed for himself the effects of the potions as they were used by many from the dark organizations to spike up theirbat power.

    ¡°Did the information indicate the channel through which they market the potions? Or who do they supply them to?¡±

    Qin Feng asked.

    The researchers would not know the answer, the investigators would know better.

    However, for those ordinary people who wanted a better life during such times, they had to go the extra mile in order to seed. Bai Yi answered immediately, ¡°There was only information about the research work that they handle, their production nt is at another location. Although there were traces ofmunication that had been sent out, we are unable to track down the recipient with our current capabilities and equipment!¡±

    ¡°Hmm!¡± Qin Feng nodded, suddenly, he continued to ask, ¡°Tell me, what would be the purpose of producing such potions?¡±

    Qin Feng looked at Bai Yi as his sharp conscious energy was able to sense Bai Yi¡¯s struggle.

    Then, Bai Yi forced a smile and adjusted his tone. ¡°Mayor, do you believe in the strength ofbined forces?¡±

    Qin Feng was at a loss for words, it sounded familiar to him!

    Then, Qin Feng shook his head and chuckled, when he was at the Tangshan Ridge, those who had suggested to him the strength ofbined forces were mocked by him!

    ¡°Speak up, there¡¯s no need for hesitation!¡± Qin Feng did not rebuke Bai Yi¡¯s statement.

    ¡°Alright, Mayor!¡± Bai Yi replied, ¡°Allow me to make an assumption, just an assumption, if the potion bes popr among the ordinary people, its effectiveness would allow it to surpass the demand for awakening potion, with 20% awakening rate, there would be one person awakened out of every five ordinary people!¡±

    Qin Feng sank deep into his own thoughts.

    Bai Yi continued, ¡°The aptitude users would be beast generals and beast soldiers. With that, wouldn¡¯t it be much easier for them to face the spatial rifts and ultra beasts?¡±

    Qin Feng recalled his memory of those researchers and their burning passion.

    Bai Yi forced a smile and added on, ¡°If that goes well, the potion would be the savior for humankind, and allow us to get rid of the ultra beasts and restore peace. I cannot help but to express my admiration toward the researcher who developed such an experiment, meanwhile, the enhancement effort is still ongoing, perhaps it might even seed in the next ten to twenty years!¡±

    Qin Feng managed to recover from his thoughts and replied, ¡°So, you still think that the potion is beneficial?¡±

    ¡°Mayor, that¡¯s not what I meant!¡± Bai Yi immediately denied and waved his hand.

    Qin Feng knew that Bai Yi felt the opposite.

    As a researcher, Bai Yi lived a better lifepared to ordinary people who struggled to survive.

    Bai Yi was also a capable person that could survive well during the end times.

    However, Qin Feng reiterated again, ¡°Ifbined strength from the ordinary people is what you would suggest, do you also advocate for continuous sacrifices too?¡±

    Bai Yi was afraid to respond.

    It was indeed a sensitive topic of discussion.

    There was an ongoing misconception between the ordinary people and aptitude users, where the stronger ones would thrive and the weaker ones would be sacrificed, survival of the fittest was the only rule that applied during the end times.

    Whereas the morale standpoint had divided humans into the Human Alliance and the Dark Coalition.

    The potion would be best used on the members from the Dark Coalition.

    Qin Feng added, ¡°Mutation rate of 20%, what will happen to the remaining 80%? Would they turn into monsters and sacrifice their lives?¡±

    Bai Yi hung his head low.

    ¡°Putting that aside, what about the future generations?¡± Qin Feng scoffed coldly. ¡°I doubt that the mutants would even be able to produce a future generation that looks like ordinary human beings. Even if the next generation did exist, would they still be considered as human beings?¡±

    Bai Yi¡¯s head was still hung low as all of a sudden, he felt that Qin Feng appeared to be highly unpredictable!

    Naturally, he did not know that Qin Feng had seen all of the information, and he had also experienced it in his past life.

    The usage of such a potion would bemon among the Dark Coalition within the next ten years.

    ¡°Sacrifices are unavoidable during times of war, in fact, toe to think of it, I do agree with you!¡±

    Bai Yi was slightly taken aback and he looked at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Also, do you really think that such a potion would be effective in getting rid of all of those ultra beasts?¡±

    Bai Yi was instantly left speechless.

    ¡°Understood, Mayor, should we still continue on with this research?¡± Bai Yi asked.

    Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°What else is there to research on? I will not allow experimentation on human beings, switch to another field of research, biological creatures, cultivation of ultra beasts that have rich protein content in their flesh, growth catalyst fertilizers for nts, anti-virus potions, and etc!¡±

    Qin Feng threw out a few suggestions that would soon be aplished research in the future, however, without knowing much detail, he could only list out a few to Bai Yi.

    Bai Yi immediately followed up with several nods and his eyes were wide open, all of the suggestions were being listed down.

    Qin Feng let out a smile as he gave Bai Yi a pat on the shoulder. ¡°Also, for the first question that you asked me, here is my answer, I have never believed in the strength ofbined forces!¡±

    ¡°It is because this is not the end times but an era where the strong would rule.¡±

    ¡°When there is someone that can be the strongest of all, the earth would definitely be restored to its former peace.¡±

    The only thing was, no such person existed just yet!

    ***

    It was early February, the weather had begun to be warmer.

    Early in the morning, Qin Feng led Bai Li toward Chengyang City.

    Everyone at Fengli colony knew what they were up to!

    Qin Feng was about to obtain the certification for his D-tier aptitude user badge.

    The news had spread across the Three Cities along the Sun like an exploding boom.

    After all, it would normally take ten years to achieve D-tier.

    Thest D-tier that the Three Cities along the Sun had was five years ago, surprisingly, it was a member from the Dark Coalition.

    Fortunately, the D-tier had left immediately after the aplishment.

    Regardless of the destination, it would be best for the D-tier from the Dark Coalition to leave the Three Cities along the Sun.

    Now, another D-tier had finally appeared!

 Chapter 316 - Certification of a D-tier Aptitude User

    <h4>Chapter 316: Certification of a D-tier Aptitude User</h4>

    Chengyang City, at the outer hall of the aptitude certification hall.

    A luxurious hover car was parked outside the entrance.

    The presence of such a car shocked many of those who were there to obtain their certification.

    After all, most of them who were at the aptitude certification hall were those who were G-tier aptitude users that had been awakened.

    F-tier was a rare encounter there, while presence of an E-tier would be extremely rare!

    Any F-tier aptitude users that could afford such hover cars would most probably be either the elite or the rich.

    Soon, the door of the car opened from the passenger¡¯s side, and a girl with silver hair exited from the car with her fading blue dress, and she was an extremely gorgeous looking girl.

    All eyes were attracted to her, and as soon as she walked toward another man and held onto his arm, all of the attention followed suit andnded onto her partner.

    Undoubtedly, the attraction had drawn in jealousy and hatred as all of them had no chance in getting close to the girl that was already taken by someone who haddy luck on his side.

    Everyone was shocked as soon as they saw her partner.

    ¡°Wait a minute, why does he look familiar!¡±

    ¡°An E-tier? Is he here to be certified as E1?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t, isn¡¯t this Qin Feng, the mayor from Fengli colony?¡±

    ¡°Ah, no wonder the beautiful girl looks familiar!¡±

    The crowd sank into an outcry.

    The beauty of Bai Li could even charm the others in forgetting about her true identity.

    They only realized who they were as soon as they had noticed the presence of Qin Feng.

    The Mayor of Fengli colony who had a remarkable past history, apanied by his gorgeous partner, the girlfriend that would often stay close to him, Bai Li!

    Both of them entered into the aptitude certification hall together.

    E-tier aptitude users were able to proceed to the second floor for direct testing, therefore, both Qin Feng and Bai Li did not need to wait.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, are both of you nning to advance to E-tier? This way please!¡± The servicing crew immediately reached out to greet them!

    ¡°No, we are here for the D-tier aptitude user testing!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    ¡°What?¡± The servicing crew member was instantly shocked and her eyes were wide opened.

    ¡°You heard it right!¡± Qin Feng reassured the crew about his intention, and he was immediately provided with a new form to be filled in, then, he was brought to go through the testing.

    ¡°This machine is capable of testing your capabilities as a D-tier aptitude user, would you prefer conscious energy testing, or energy testing?¡±

    ¡°Energy testing will do!¡±

    ¡°Alright, all set, after you!¡±

    Instantly, the person stepped back to more than ten meters away, knowing that the attack from a D-tier aptitude user would be extremely shocking.

    However, the servicing crew member soon realized that she had been worried for nothing.

    Qin Feng had only let out a casual punch!

    ¡°Pardon me, Mayor Qin, was there any confusion? Or were you merely trying it out? The crew member was puzzled, but she remained silent and her smile did not falter.

    Boom!

    Qin Fengnded a heavy punch that had impacted the detecting material that was on the testing machine.

    The detecting material was instantly deformed, and it sank inward upon the impact.

    At the same time, numbers went wild on the machine.

    10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000, 50,000!

    ¡°Attacking force testing: 50,001, testing passed!¡±

    The servicing crew member who was standing at the side was left speechless.

    Indeed, the testing waspleted sessfully!

    ¡°Bai Li, your turn!¡± Qin Feng spoke. ¡°You may also go for conscious energy testing!¡±

    Qin Feng was afraid that Bai Li might destroy the machine with her punch.

    ¡°Alright, this is fine, it would be a more convenient choice!¡± Bai Li moved forward and let out a punch, the final attacking force was at 50,102, although it was not as precise as Qin Feng¡¯s, however, it was also a pass!

    The first round of testing was the only difficult test that they needed to go through, and the others were rather simple and straightforward, as soon as all of the testing waspleted, the servicing crew member immediately showcased her respect and reverence toward both Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, Ms. Bai Li, you have now fulfilled every requirement of a D-tier aptitude user, and in order for you to obtain the D-tier aptitude user badge, both of you will need to be present at the frontline toplete dedicated missions, and three monthster, you will then be able to obtain your D-tier aptitude user badge!¡±

    ¡°Expenses incurred during the trip to the frontline will be covered by the Human Alliance, and we will arrange for a hover copter transport provided by the Zhongcheng Organization for your travels, the entire journey will only take four hours!¡±

    ¡°The suggested frontline by us would be the North Sea Desert battle line, and you may gather at Shadong Town!¡±

    ¡°If you are agreeable to this, you may now inform us on the time of your departure!¡±

    The servicing crew member had listed out rules that were already known by Qin Feng.

    ¡°We will leave in a week to the North Sea Desert battle line.¡± Qin Feng replied.

    ¡°Alright! I will get it sorted out right away!¡±

    ¡°Hmm!¡±

    Thepleted test was another item that was crossed out from the list of tasks, however, as soon as Qin Feng had left, the news began spreading across the entire Chengyang City.

    Qin Feng had drawn all of the attention to himself when he annihted the Xin family, to be more precise, the Xin family was taken downpletely. However, Qin Feng was not behind it.

    Qin Feng had only taken down the leader of the family, and it was the other three major families that had devoured the Xin family simultaneously.

    Everyone was shocked by the news of Qin Feng achieving D-tier!

    ¡°Beep beep beep beep!¡±

    Qin Feng was alerted by hismunicator.

    He lowered his head to check, it was Cheng Zhou, the only direct disciple left from the three major families of Chengyang City.

    Cheng Zhou had a battle with Qin Feng in the arena, as time passed by, he had already advanced to E-tier.

    Obviously, there must be something that had prompted him to look for Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng paused for a short moment before he epted the call, and Cheng Zhou¡¯s face appeared before him.

    ¡°Cheng Zhou, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    ¡°Mayor Qin, I missed the opportunity to meet you before this, since you are back in Chengyang City, I would like to invite you for a meal!¡±

    ¡°A meal?¡± Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and spoke calmly. ¡°Thank you for your invite, but there is still another matter that needs to be taken care of, and I would need to make a move soon!¡±

    ¡°No, please don¡¯t, the meal has already been prepared!¡±

    ¡°I really don¡¯t have time to spare!¡± Qin Feng rejected the invite as he had already achieved D-tier, hence, he was no longer interested in keeping close contact with others.

    Qin Feng was already capable of recruiting his own people and not being involved with the older families that had been around Chengyang City for years.

    Furthermore, it would be difficult for him to handle any situation that might arise when he was away from the Fengli colony.

    Meanwhile, Cheng Zhou, who had been rejected by Qin Feng, instantly felt nervous.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, allow me to say a few words, there is still something else that I need to tell you!¡± Cheng Zhou seemed to be at a loss for words, after all, before this, he was a young genius that had some arguments with his own family. However, he was forced to take up the responsibility to sort those issues out, would this not put him into a difficult situation?

    ¡°Something else? What is it?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, let me put it this way, as you took down the vexatious Xin family that had been conquering Chengyang City with their ruthless ruling, the three major families of the city would like to express their gratitude to you, and there are also some of the leftover assets that require your restructuring!¡±

    ¡°Hah!¡± Qin Feng burst intoughter.

    He had finally figured out what Cheng Zhou wanted.

    No wonder he had been cautious all the time.

    He was worried that Qin Feng might get even with them!

    Back then, Qin Feng was satisfied and left after he had extorted a sum of money, however, was that really all that the Xin family had?

 Chapter 317 - Meeting Liang Kan

    <h4>Chapter 317: Meeting Liang Kan</h4>

    Of course it was more than that, but Qin Feng had to approach it with moderation. Back then, his abilities had not reached the point where he could take on and crush the three families.

    And the three big families in Chengyang City did not hold Qin Feng in any high regard, not giving him a single cent!

    But that has be different now!

    They thought that Qin Feng was alone and weak at that time, even assuming that Qin Feng knew how to be tactful!

    Now, it was these three families who were the ones that needed to be ¡®tactful¡¯.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, what do you mean?¡± Cheng Zhou inquired carefully.

    ¡°About that question, you can discuss that with Xue Xingfu. I have things to do right now so tell him to speak to meter!¡±

    After hearing that, Cheng Zhou did not dare to persuade him anymore, ¡°Okay Mayor Qin, I shall not take up too much of your time!¡±

    After hanging up themunicator, Qin Feng waved his hand at Bai Li and got into the car with her.

    Very soon, he left the aptitude user certification hall behind with the onlookers outside all watching him leave.

    When he was in the car, he thought for a while before calling another person.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, I was just about to contact you! I heard that you came to Chengyang to apply for a D tier aptitude certification badge!¡±

    The person that showed up on themunicator was none other than Bai Tianyang.

    ¡°Mayor Bai, you¡¯re well informed and it looks like you already know about it, but I have something I need to talk to you about right now so I decided to call you!¡±

    ¡°Oh? What is it?¡±

    ¡°I previously discovered a clue, this is regarding Chengyang¡¯s external patrol team¡¯s vice-general of the First Legion, Liang Kan, and a dark organization. I would like to ask him some questions but I¡¯m afraid the other would respond with hostility and that it would result in some bad consequences, which is specifically why I called you!¡±

    ¡°Is that so?¡± Although Bai Tianyang was smiling, his eyes reflected a solemn mood. He was not sure if Qin Feng was telling the truth or not, ¡°Mayor Qin, do you have any evidence?¡±

    Qin Feng directly sent the image of the tattoo from the Dark Coalition member he had killed near the colony of Fu City, along with an image of Liang Kan¡¯s tattoo, to Bai Tianyang before selectively telling Bai Tianyang what he knew.

    ¡°Mayor Qin, you¡¯ve raised a very difficult question. He¡¯s our city legion¡¯s vice-general!¡± It could be said that every member of Chengyang City¡¯s army was trained by Bai Tianyang himself.

    It was like if someone were to suddenlye up to Qin Feng and say, ¡°There are some problems with Commander Wang Chen.¡± Even he would naturally hesitate and want to check if it was true.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry Mayor Bai, I just n on asking a few questions! There will be no harm on the other party¡¯s life but I hope you wouldn¡¯t contact them because you might inadvertently warn the enemy!¡± said Qin Feng.

    ¡°You think that Liang Kan might be an enemy?¡± Bai Tianyang jokingly replied, but what he said carried with it a deeperyer of meaning.

    ¡°Mayor Bai, take it as me owing you a favor!¡± answered Qin Feng.

    ¡°Hahaha! Fine, but if Liang Kan really is up to something, this is a dangerous situation. I¡¯ll leave it to you Mayor Qin! You can figure it out!¡± Bai Tianyang said with a smile.

    The two people exchanged niceties before hanging up theirmunicators. The luxury car that had been randomly driving around suddenly turned into another direction.

    Liang Kan was the vice-general of the external patrol team, naturally he would be stationed outside of the city. Currently, his position was at the west of the city.

    Qin Feng drove out of Chengyang City and then got out of the car.

    There were countless sentry towers that soon appeared on the main road, and each tower was manned by a gunner. The sentry towers surrounded a small fortress, which was themand center outside of the city.

    Many people turned their eyes onto his car. When it stopped, Qin Feng and Bai Li were exposed to countless sniper rifles the moment they stepped out.

    ¡°Hey, it¡¯s Mayor Qin! The guy who said that he wanted to be D-tier!¡±

    ¡°Why did he stop here?¡±

    ¡°Should we stop him?¡±

    ¡°Stop him? Are you crazy? Don¡¯t you remember what happened to the Xin family?¡±

    ¡°Yeah! If you ask me, he¡¯s probably here on business. We shouldn¡¯t hinder him.¡±

    Qin Feng and Bai Li began to approach the fortress. He also swept the area with his consciousness and locked onto the only E tier person in the entire facility. His target was on the third floor.

    Knock knock knock.

    Qin Feng politely knocked on the door.

    ¡°Come in!¡± A voice came from inside, and he pushed the door to enter.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter...¡± Liang Kan raised his head before lowering it back down with a seemingly indifferent gaze. Only after a moment he quickly raised his head and directly looked at Qin Feng.

    He suddenly stood up and his eyes shot to the windows as if he was thinking about jumping out of it. But how could he be faster than Qin Feng¡¯s speed?

    Qin Feng was already moving, now standing between him and the windows to block off escape. When Liang Kan tried to turn around to run away, he realized that Bai Li was behind him.

    Being nked from the front and the back put him in a dilemma. There was a huge gap in power between a D-tier and an E-tier so Liang Kan did not try to resist at all. Not only that, Bai Li and Qin Feng were no ordinary D-tier aptitude users.

    ¡°General Liang, I don¡¯t think we¡¯ve met before. Why are you so nervous?¡± Qin Feng said in a quiet voice, his face expressionless.

    Liang Kan¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you did!¡±

    ¡°Oh? What did I do?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Stop acting, you didn¡¯te here to get to know me, some E-tier ancient warrior, did you? You¡¯re already D-tier now!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. I¡¯m D-tier already, otherwise, how would I daree and find you?¡±

    Back during the Spring Hunting Garden, Chen Ming said Liang Kan¡¯s name, thinking that Qin Feng would immediately try to find Liang Kan.

    Although he was probably able to take down an E tier by then, he did not want to risk drawing unnecessary attention.

    The reason being Liang Kan¡¯s status as one of Chengyang City¡¯s generals.

    Qin Feng had only reached D-tier. Including the years before his rebirth, it had taken him a total of eleven years.

    He honestly was not sure about how far he could go, but now he was going to take a step further!

    ¡°Liang Kan, who¡¯s the one behind Z Organization? Whichboratories still exist right now? You better tell me everything, no lies! Otherwise, very unpleasant things will happen between us!¡±

    ¡°Heh, Mayor Qin, do you really think I can tell you?¡± Liang Kan obviously did not n on telling Qin Feng so easily.

    ¡°Okay then, Vice-General Liang, since you¡¯re not answering the questions. Tell me, how did you know about me? Obviously your attitude toward me is very different from other people¡¯s. What exactly did I reveal about myself?¡± Qin Feng smiled faintly.

    Liang Kan only felt the sweat gathering on his forehead that was increasing.

    Qin Feng¡¯s presence was indistinct, but he had the power of a D-tier and it felt like he was more dangerous than Bai Tianyang.

    Liang Kan swallowed hard, then he said, ¡°I¡¯m not weak you know, naturally I can enter the more advancedboratories. You think other people haven¡¯t seen Lin Wuyi in your colony?¡±

    Qin Feng was a little surprised, his smile faltered by just a bit. He did not expect Liang Kan to notice Lin Wuyi.

    ¡°I did not expect to be exposed so early! Then, why haven¡¯t you run away?¡± Qin Feng asked.

 Chapter 318 - The Water is Deep, the Stakes are High

    <h4>Chapter 318: The Water is Deep, the Stakes are High</h4>

    A look of regret shed in Liang Kan¡¯s eyes, but he still straightened his back and said, ¡°What would I be running for, I haven¡¯t been exposed!¡±

    Liang Kan had not left, naturally he wanted to maintain his identity and also to monitor Qin Feng.

    ¡°However, it seems that I¡¯ve actually been exposed. Mayor Qin, let me stay as someone in the know!¡± Liang Kan said.

    Qin Feng nodded casually and said, ¡°Do you still remember someone called Chen Ming?¡±

    ¡°Chen Ming?¡±

    Naturally, Liang Kan initially could not remember!

    After all, that person only yed a small role. What was more, Chen Ming was dispatched by Liang Kan to Lin Kai¡¯s side to monitor him or Lin Zheng. As a result, after Qin Feng destroyed the Xin family, Lin Kai was also killed.

    As such, Chen Ming¡¯s limited value had also disappeared.

    But the memory of an aptitude user was an impressive thing, even after all this time, Liang Kan eventually recalled the name Chen Ming.

    Seeing that Liang Kan seemed to know who that was, Qin Feng continued, ¡°That¡¯s my ssmate, someone who grew up with me in the orphanage, but he was destroyed by you!¡±

    Regardless if it were before his rebirth or after it, these people provoked the greed and evil in Chen Ming¡¯s heart.

    The victims were naturally Qin Feng and a ssmate who lost her legs in this life.

    ¡°You destroyed ourboratory for this reason?¡± Liang Kan¡¯s eyes widened.

    Qin Feng sneered, ¡°You vited thews of the Human Alliance and reached an all time low in morality. You¡¯re saying that I can¡¯t destroy that?¡±

    Liang Kan had nothing to say. He was different from the researchers in theboratory.

    Essentially, Liang Kan believed that the Z Organization was part of the Dark Coalition¡¯s forces, if not there would not be the event of destroying the space stabilizing device and kidnapping newly-awakened teenagers from Chengbei colony.

    ¡°So, now, Mayor Qin. What are you going to do? Kill me?¡± Liang Kan asked, his body trembling slightly.

    Nobody was not afraid to die.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes narrowed, hiding his intention as he thought about it.

    ¡°You suspect that I destroyed theboratory? Then did you or did you not report it to your bosses?¡±

    Liang Kan sneered, ¡°Of course I did!¡±

    ¡°Look at me!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s voice suddenly rang out, Liang Kan could not resist and looked in her direction. Soon, his vision began to blur.

    ¡°Who is the leader of the Z Organization?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡±

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were not surprised. Communication in that organization was done in unteral liaison, the low levelboratories did not know what went on in the high levelboratories.

    They were adept in keeping it all a secret, but time had passed and they were constantly working to develop dark forces. As this progressed, they would naturally be exposed as well.

    Nobody knew just how many teens were in thosebs, how manyboratories existed or how big they were.

    ¡°Your superior, who is it?¡± Qin Feng asked and Bai Li repeated it.

    Liang Kan spoke, but with a name that surprised Qin Feng.

    ¡°Guo Geng!¡±

    Qin Feng waved his hand and Bai Li took back her mental force, causing Liang Kan toe to his senses.

    ¡°What... What kind of power did you use? This... this is consciousness-induced hypnosis!¡± Liang Kan said with shock

    He was an E-tier ancient warrior but he could still be hypnotized. One could only imagine just how powerful Bai Li¡¯s consciousness was.

    Qin Feng smiled coldly, ¡°Guo Geng huh? If I remember correctly, that should be a Dark Coalition person in the North Sea Desert!¡±

    A D-tier aptitude user, and he had around twenty more aptitude users in his private army. What a difficult character.

    The deeper these waters went, the higher the stakes!

    Would the next step be to start digging up this group?

    ¡°I promised Bai Tianyang I wouldn¡¯t kill you, so pack up and leave Chengyang City!¡±

    Qin Feng said before he turned and was already walking in the direction of the fortress gate with Bai Li following closely behind him. They drove away the moment they got out of the fortress.

    Liang Kan¡¯s body was almost drenched in sweat! He had to wait topose himself before quickly packing up his things, spending all the military exploits he had umted over many years in Chengyang City and taking all of his possessions before fleeing the city overnight.

    The news immediately reached Bai Tianyang¡¯s ears.

    ¡°This... Liang Kan really was a Dark Coalition member?¡± He thought that it was inconceivable that it would be one of the subordinates that had worked under him for so many years.

    ¡°Yes Mayor, should we chase after him?¡±

    ¡°No, no need. Let him go!¡± Bai Tianyang did not seem to care, ¡°Next time, don¡¯t bother me with trivial things like these!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Mayor!¡±

    Bai Tianyang currently could not return to the city to handle these things because he was still looking for spirit herbs in Tangshan Ridge!

    When it came to these kinds of mayors, once they had reached D-tier they hardly cared about their cities. Most of the time, they were not even in their cities!

    So naturally, there would be many things that they were toozy to manage. This was also why Qin Feng got Fengli colony in the first ce, it was only just a small spatial rift and space stabilizing device, and people wanted to fight to the death over it. That was an embarrassing waste of time in his eyes.

    ***

    During the night, a hover car could be seen speeding down the main road north of Chengyang City. It looked like it was heading toward Pingyun.

    Pingyung had transportation that extended in all directions, connecting to the Western region. As long as one could find a route, they could easily just leave the Three Cities along the Sun behind.

    And in this car was Liang Kan.

    Under the car¡¯s headlights, a ck figure suddenly emerged on the road. The lights swept around, but it was hovering about two meters in the air. Even if there was someone standing on the road, the car would not have stopped.

    Only this time, Liang Kan¡¯s heart jumped. In the next moment, his vision was filled with blue fire!

    This was the most dazzling fire that he had ever seen!

    Swish!

    mes enveloped the entire hover car.

    Suddenly, the vehicle was split in half, being cut off from the middle. The energy tank was instantly cut open and contact with the fire resulted in a huge explosion!

    Boom!

    ¡°Aah!¡± Liang Kan screamed as he raced out of the fire, and the figure shrouded the light of the blue mes!

    In the next moment, a ray of scorching hot energy shot into him, and amidst the me he saw internal force that could only be released by a D-tier ancient warrior and a face he had only just seen today.

    Qin Feng!

    ¡°Wh...¡± Liang Kan died with his eyes still open!

    ¡°Just because I didn¡¯t kill you today doesn¡¯t mean I won¡¯t kill you in the future. I am standing on the side of good, there doesn¡¯t need to be another reason!¡±

    Qin Feng was no longer that confused teen from before!

    When to kill and when not to kill was once unclear to him.

    He had not killed him before because he had an agreement with Bai Tianyang.

    Now that Liang Kan was escaping and Bai Tianyang did not care, naturally he would just kill him off!

    The next day, the news that Qin Feng was promoted to D-tier had also spread throughout Fengli colony. It had not been a few days since the hover copter had flown over the colony, and the people in it were excited.

    It seemed that Qin Feng reaching D-tier was not just expected, but also something that they took great pride in!

 Chapter 319 - Shadong Town

    <h4>Chapter 319: Shadong Town</h4>

    A weekter, at Fengli colony¡¯s mother mountain manor.

    Qin Feng was sitting on the couch and those sitting around him were all the people that he had gathered before.

    This time, in addition to Lin Wuyi, Xue Xingfu had also reached E-tier.

    Zhou Hao had reached F8-tier, but by the time Qin Feng came back again he would have be E-tier too!

    The others naturally included people like Wang Chen, Liu Xue and so on.

    ¡°Mayor, a week ago some people from the three big families in Chengyang came over to give gifts. I followed your orders and decided to give them a discount. The 6 billion yuan has already arrived in our ount!¡± Xue Xingfu said.

    Last time, Cheng Zhou tried to invite Qin Feng over, naturally wanting to get some benefits out of him so that he would not be bothered by their previous negligence.

    However, Qin Feng only wanted money, not shares. The things of the past were considered as write offs.

    If he wanted shares, would that not turn him into a partner with those people? These people had never provided help to Qin Feng at all, only evering to curry favor, and Qin Feng had no intention of taking part in Chengyang City.

    ¡°Right, continue!¡±

    ¡°Other districts of Chengyang City, as well as some mayors and leaders in nearby colonies, had also sent gifts. Families from Sea City and Fu City had also sent some too! The final count of the funds is 5.3 billion!¡±

    These people gave gifts that did not value up to over ten million, but that was no match with the number of gifts.

    Not all of them were actually trying to gain favor. Some of them were worried that Qin Feng might try to go over and conquer them!

    After all, Qin Feng¡¯s rise into D-tier was really a dynamic event in history. Basically bing a king in a short time and having the whole realm acknowledging the event.

    Qin Feng nodded and Xue Xingfu continued.

    ¡°In the past few days, taking advantage of the E-tier aptitude users that came all over, arge number of materials has been quickly sold off and the auction went on for seven consecutive days with sales reaching a staggering 300 billion yuan! Our profits are at 300 billion dors.¡±

    The people around him were shocked when they heard the news. They could hardly imagine all of this.

    The amount of three hundred billion yuan for this little colony was something that ought to bepletely beyond them.

    Of course, Xue Xingfu had not mentioned that arge part of these transactions were done using the materials that Qin Feng personally took out!

    Qin Feng gave a thumbs up. ¡°Nice, not bad this time!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you, Mayor!¡±

    After all, all of the good things came from Qin Feng¡¯s battles.

    He then motioned for the others below the hierarchy to speak and Liu Xue talked about the inventory in their base while Wang Chen talked about the deployment of their aptitude users, their welfare requests and so on.

    He nodded from time to time as he listened on.

    The people present, minus Xue Xingfu and Bai Li, would not have been able to imagine just how deep Qin Feng¡¯s pockets were!

    Just a few days ago, Qin Feng acting as ¡®Bloodhunter¡¯ had be a well-kept secret by Xue Xingfu.

    After collecting money from the underground ck market and seven days of frantically selling goods to E-tiers, Qin Feng¡¯s total asset was a shocking number.

    The funds that could be brought to the frontline would reach one hundred thirty billion, and with what Xue Xingfu said before it would reach one hundred forty billion!

    And this was just the result before Qin Feng decided to start selling D-tier items.

    After everyone was done, they looked to Qin Feng and waited for instructions.

    ¡°I¡¯ve said this before, we¡¯ll change the shares once every three months. By now, I think it¡¯se to that time already. Of course, before we start making any changes, the dividends of the previous quarter should be allocated beforehand.¡±

    That made everyone smile.

    Even if it was just one percent of the money, with how Fengli colony was currently doing, everyone would receive hundreds of millions of funds.

    Little Fengli was like a money printing machine.

    ¡°Also, I want to announce another thing. Last time Bloodhunter came over, he sold to our colony a very precious item. A secret realm, a secret realm that you all actually know about. The Battlegod¡¯s secret realm!¡±

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened at the revtion!

    They did not expect even Bloodhunter woulde here to sell goods. However, it made sense. How would a killer that was being hunted by C-tier aptitude users have the time to defend the key to a secret realm?

    The Legacy of the Battlegod had probably already been hollowed out!

    That was not true however, the Legacy of the Battlegod had not been emptied just yet, it was just that everything stored in the back could only be used by Zhou Hao and Xue Xingfu.

    ¡°The first level, the Dragon Blood Enhancement Chamber, is open to all. We¡¯re responsible for purchasing Dragon Blood and selling entry for at least 10,000 per day. We¡¯ll be splitting 50% of the profits with Bloodhunter. As for future operations, Liu Xue, you¡¯ll be the one managing it.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Liu Xue nodded seriously.

    ¡°If anything happens in the colony, let me know. I have a waymark that lets me travel here at any moment!¡±

    After he had announced a few more additional things, the sound of abat hover copter could be hearding from outside.

    Obviously the hover copter from the Zhongcheng Organization had arrived!

    ¡°Keep working hard, I hope that once I step into Shadong Town, you people can open up a new underground ck market!¡±

    ¡°Definitely!¡± Everyone present said in unison. They all knew the extent of how much money the underground ck market could make, but it needed power, it needed the prestige of someone strong.

    Right now, Qin Feng was that strong person, that prestige was something that the people who worked under him must work hard in order to keep up with.

    Qin Feng took Bai Li along with him, boarded thebat hover copter and left Fengli colony again!

    ***

    Four hourster, yellow sand gradually came into Qin Feng¡¯s vision.

    Bai Li looked out from the window and saw that the yellow sand seemed to be glowing with a golden shade under the sun¡¯s light.

    ¡°It¡¯s the desert!¡±

    The desert was the only thing that could be detected on themunicators, from what it looked like, the ce was truly deste.

    ¡°Well, this is the North Sea Desert!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s all desert. I don¡¯t get why they added a North Sea into it!¡± Bai Li was puzzled.

    Qin Feng chuckled, adding, ¡°This ce used to be close to the sea, before the end times, there was a city called North Sea City!¡±

    Bai Li did not understand history before the end times, and actually even in the top grade academies in Chengyang City, they would have only provided knowledge up till the E-tier! Any information about the North Sea Desert would not be introduced.

    ¡°Back in the day, North Sea City was a coastal city. The climate was warm and all the seasons were like spring. It had a sprawling jungle and a lot of different kinds of birds. After the end times, when ultra beasts mutated and rifts began to appear, this became a habitat for mutant birds and ultra beasts!¡±

    Bai Li peered at the sky and could not find any mutant birds.

    ¡°The remaining human beings in North Sea City simply cut down all the forests in order to survive. It only took them ten years to cut it all down, but when the birds were gone, even worse ultra beasts appeared!¡±

    When Qin Feng reached D-tier, he had alsoe to experience what it was like here, naturally he knew how dangerous this ce was.

    Non stop battling, constantly living under artillery fire.

    ¡°A D-tier Plow Worm King destroyed all of North Sea City and everyone died overnight!¡±

    ¡°Not only that, as desertification expanded, therge number of insectoids and ultra beasts swarmed to the oases as the desert continued to grow. Eventually, it buried North Sea City.¡±

    ¡°Humanity retreated, and retreated again. Eventually mimicking the Great Wall from the ancient world and built Niumeng City, Qihan City, Qingcheng City and Bahai City. Bahai City is slightly closer to the sea but the tides there aren¡¯t very active!¡±

    ¡°The four cities formed an arc, and in the front of them was the North Sea Desert that covered over what used to be the North Sea¡ªA huge desert battlefield!¡±

    Finally, a huge fortress appeared in Bai Li and Qin Feng¡¯s view. A huge fortress made entirely out of stone.

    It was Shadong Town!

 Chapter 320 - Lei Chang

    <h4>Chapter 320: Lei Chang</h4>

    Shadong Town!

    Its walls gave off the vibe of an imprable defense. It was thebat zone closest to the frontline. After all, in the past ten years, Shadong Town had been destroyed three times, and relocated and rebuilt three times as well. Each time it was destroyed, it was a crisis for the Four Cities on the North Sea.

    As such, it also had another name, North Sea Outpost.

    Thebat hover copter lowered itself onto Shadong Town¡¯s helipad; the surrounding area nearby had more than a dozen hover copters parked around. Compared to the one Ke Xiangzuo piloted, these ones looked like they packed more ammunition and weaponry.

    All of these were meant for war!

    When in the North Sea Desert, being in the air was safer than being on the ground!

    ¡°Mayor Qin, we¡¯re here. I wish you peace and safety in the North Sea Desert!¡± Ke Xiangzuo said.

    That statement held true intentions behind it!

    Something like peace and safety in a battlefield really was a rare urrence!

    ¡°Thank you. Watch out and be safe when you return!¡± Qin Feng shook hands with Ke Xiangzuo before taking out the Silver Bolt, and seated inside it with Bai Li.

    Of course, the Silver Bolt was purchased under Bloodhunter¡¯s identity but since Bloodhunter had technically appeared in the underground ck market, selling a car was something that was quite normal.

    Turning something shady into something clean, Qin Feng could naturally openly take the car out.

    The Silver Bolt transformed into a silver stream of light as it raced toward Shadong Town.

    There was originally still a bit of distance to the town but at the Silver Bolt¡¯s speed, Qin Feng managed to reach its gates in about ten minutes.

    The town could be described as dull yellow in color, and all the houses were made out of stone. The style seemed pretty uninteresting, and maybe a little bit crude.

    ¡°The permanent residents in Shadong Town don¡¯t even reach up to 20%, maybe it¡¯s even lower than that. Peoplee to work and serve high-end aptitude users. Once they¡¯ve earned enough money, they usually just up and leave as soon as possible. The frontline isn¡¯t a joke, it could be overwhelmed by the enemy at any moment!¡± Qin Feng exined.

    Bai Li curled her lips. ¡°You humans sure have a hard life!¡±

    ¡°Maybe all the weak species have a hard life, but it¡¯s humanity¡¯s intellect that has thought of many ways to fight back,¡± Qin Feng said.

    However, those that were weak would only face extinction. Only humanity would still think of making a stand and fighting.

    ¡°Yeah! That¡¯s right, human intelligence really is good! Their clothes look very nice!¡± Bai Li¡¯s first thought was clothing, the designer¡¯s ingenuity and bold creativity that brought a glint to her eyes.

    ¡°Heh.¡± Qin Feng smiled helplessly and did not continue the conversation with Bai Li.

    He was familiar with Shadong Town, or more like, his memory had not forgotten its scenery.

    Soon, the car drove into the town¡¯s center and stopped in front of a very tall building. This towering building was obviously different from other simple-looking buildings.

    It was an auction house under the Wanzong Organization.

    There was a red carpet that led from the door with a pair of flower baskets at its side, but it was obvious that these flowers were just fakes used for decoration, no matter how alive they might seem.

    In the end times, the more colorful a nt was the more dangerous it would be.

    ¡°Looks like we¡¯re lucky today! We actually managed to make it on time to the Wanzong Auction Day!¡±

    The auction day started once every week and with how the frontline battlefield went through rapid substantial changes, there was bound to be plenty of good things.

    Qin Feng took Bai Li into the auction house and the surrounding hostesses all beamed and weed him.

    Therge screen on the first floor showed the situation of each floor on the auction hall. The first floor to third floor were meant for retail, the fourth floor was holding an F-tier auction and the fifth holding an E-tier auction.

    The auction hall for D tier aptitude users were on the sixth floor and could be directly essed by the VIP elevator. But when Qin Feng reached the elevator he was stopped by a hostess.

    ¡°Sir, do you have an invitation letter?¡± The hostess asked in a rough tone, closely looking at the E-tier aptitude user badge on Qin Feng¡¯s chest.

    ¡°I¡¯m a D-tier aptitude user who was recently certified, and I just arrived in Shadong Town so I haven¡¯t received Wanzong¡¯s invitation letter yet!¡± said Qin Feng.

    ¡°That would be our mistake. If you don¡¯t mind, you may first apply for one of our Wanzong VIP cards. You¡¯ll need to have the proof of 10 billion in funds and then you can enter the sixth floor. The auction today is very good, and even after the auction you may visit the D-tier aptitude user trade fair!¡±

    Qin Feng naturally understood and nodded his head, but someone else strode up beside him.

    ¡°E tier? Hasn¡¯t even been certified as E9-tier and you im to be D-tier? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re nning on going up to cling to someone stronger!¡± The person looked at him with contempt, but his eyes lit up when he nced at Bai Li.

    This man was about 1.8 meters in height and was well proportioned, but he did not look physically imposing and did not carry the aura of an ancient warrior.

    It was not clear whether he was an ability user or a gunner.

    ¡°Mr. Lei Chang, wee!¡± The hostess smiled and quickly opened up the elevator door for him.

    Lei Chang¡¯s gaze fell back on Qin Feng and suddenly he raised his eyebrows.

    ¡°When I look at you, you seem very familiar!¡±

    Qin Feng had no expression on his face, gently saying, ¡°Yes, you seem quite familiar too Mr. Lei. You must be brothers with Sea City¡¯s Lei Chen!¡±

    Lei Chang¡¯s eyes held a sternness in them, but he entrically pointed at Qin Feng and chuckled, ¡°Hehe, and I say, you must be Qin Feng then? Not bad. Very good!¡±

    His gaze briefly shed with a look of greed.

    More than a week had passed since the events of Tangshan Ridge but the news had already spread!

    Since there were no dead people this time, it did not be arge scale sensation and was reported sparsely on the battle, but to the news circle among the D-tiers, this definitely was not a secret!

    The beast emperor crystal core was gone but those three beast kings¡¯ materials and the beast emperor peacock feathers were all too valuable!

    That being said, Qin Feng was basically a walking treasure vault.

    ¡°No need for him to get verified. This one is a famous person, just give him a VIP card and he cane up with me!¡± Lei Chang suggested.

    ¡°Will do, Mr. Lei!¡± The hostess naturally could not refuse.

    Qin Feng chuckled all of a sudden, not wanting to follow Lei Chang.

    ¡°Not yet Mr. Lei, I still have a few things I want to sell. Maybeter, there will be some of my goods in the auction!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Lei Chang¡¯s gaze became reserved. ¡°Alright. Then, I¡¯ll go on ahead!¡±

    He turned to enter the elevator, and when he turned around to stare again it gave people the chills.

    Qin Feng did not care!

    Qin Feng was wearing an E-tier aptitude user badge, if he went up with Lei Cheng would that not make it look like he came with him? That, and following after Lei Chang, would have brought on some humiliation would it not? That person could dream on!

    He ended up following the hostess to apply for a VIP card and at the same time took out some simple D-tier materials he wanted to auction.

    D-tier beasts were difficult to hunt and kill, even themon materials were highly marketable. However, the more advanced items would have to be taken out during the trade fair. Wanzong did not mind this, after all anyone could attend the trade fair if they were to pay for the five million yuan ticket. When one¡¯s funds were above hundreds of millions, five million was just a drop in the ocean.

    ¡°Sir, the auction list is over here and the auction items you have will be temporarily added as well. Here, have a look!¡±

    ¡°Hmm,¡± Qin Feng swept through the listed items and found that the most valuable objects were just beast general materials. Obviously, the treasures were not here.

    ¡°Two tickets for the trade fair!¡±

    ¡°Very well, Sir!¡±

 Chapter 321 - Beast King Crystal Core

    <h4>Chapter 321: Beast King Crystal Core</h4>

    The VIP trade fair hall was luxuriously furnished with exquisite mealsid out on both sides of the hall that seemed quite appetizing, but the people in the hall obviously did note here for the food.

    At the door, Qin Feng flipped through the registration form and realized that there were already seventy people in the hall ahead of him. Not to mention, he recognized some of the people in the hall.

    Besides Lei Chang, there was also the Hou family¡¯s Hou Yangjiao as well as the Tieh family¡¯s Tieh Lei.

    These people naturally would not have recognized the current Qin Feng, only ncing at him with little interest.

    It had been almost half a month since Qin Feng left and these people seemed to have recovered from theirst encounter. However, internal injuries were not so easily treated. They had a reason for their absence from the battlefield.

    Yang Mao, the one who did not participate in their attack on Qin Feng, was not around, instead there was a person with leaves embroidered onto his suit¡¯s cuffs who was from the Yang family.

    ¡°The ones who don¡¯t go to the frontline at times like this are all here for the trade fair?¡±

    If something unusual were to happen, it must be the force of devilry!

    Qin Feng remained calm and was not bothered with those people, then he indifferently keyed in what he wanted to sell.

    The uniformed service staff was respectful and cautious, afraid that one mistake would mean that their lives would be at stake.

    After receiving the data from Qin Feng, they could not help but stare wide-eyed.

    ¡°Sir, there are other people selling materials here as well, please have a look and I hope you find what you are looking for!¡±

    ¡°Thanks!¡±

    Qin Feng opened the registration form again and realized that out of the seventy people, only twenty people really wanted to exchange things.

    When he reached number 14, he took a deep breath.

    [Energy Crystal Core, D-Tier Beast Emperor Level!]

    ¡°No wonder these people came here!¡±

    Beast emperors were not beings people could easily kill, neither were there many of them around. Even in Shadong Town¡¯s frontline, there would probably be a beast king once every week but a beast emperor? One could wait for half a year and they would not even find one!

    He got really lucky today!

    Qin Feng made up his mind and decided that he wanted to buy this crystal core!

    Hooking an arm around Bai Li¡¯s, Qin Feng entered the trade fair hall and found a corner where he could first get a meal.

    It was not just D-tiers that were present, there were some E-tier aptitude users who were stand-ins for some D-tiers. Qin Feng and Bai Li were not conspicuous.

    Soon, it was 6pm in the evening and the trade fair officially began.

    The people in front were all auctioning things that came from beast generals. Someone even brought things that nobody wanted and ended up being unsessful.

    Everyone only had five minutes to be on stage and the auctioneer quickly reached number 14.

    A D-tier aptitude user walked on stage and Qin Feng soon discovered that there was amotion happening among the people surrounding him.

    ¡°D3-tier, Mutant Steel Kylin Emperor, Emperor Level Crystal Core.¡±

    The person opened a box to reveal a huge, probably basketball sized, ck translucent energy crystal core that was isted from the surrounding air by a crystalline package.

    ¡°The starting price is at 80 billion! Only money is asked for this one, there¡¯s no need for exchange with anything else!¡±

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened, but that crystal barrier around the core shrouded its aura, making those around unable to figure out what makes the thing so fancy.

    Qin Feng saw the seller¡¯s name on the registration form, he knew he was known as Zhao Tianche*.

    At this time, Zhao Tianche furrowed his brow and looked at the people in the audience. He found ack of better options. This was not his first time here, but instead his second time.

    Thest time he came, the people that were present did not have enough money prepared. He did not say anything when he was not sessful, and there were even some who had wanted to lower the price.

    This time, while it looked like there were plenty of people, the people who wanted to buy this thing were not that many.

    At this moment, someone sneered.

    ¡°Zhao Tianche, your starting price is way too high. A beast emperor crystal core costs 80 billion at most! Don¡¯t talk all high and mighty, set the lowest price at 60 billion like it should be then we¡¯ll consider it!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! Why can¡¯t it be exchanged with other materials? Who would have that kind of liquidity anyway?¡±

    Zhao Tianche¡¯s eyes reflected a hint of fury. ¡°I¡¯m helping my C-tier boss sell this! Boss only wants money!¡±

    Hou Yangjiao¡¯s mocking voice came over, ¡°C-tier boss? I don¡¯t know if there would be any C-tier strength left after their injuries have been treated!¡±

    ¡°Hou family, don¡¯t you dare start!¡± Zhao Tianche was obviously angry.

    Qin Feng also began to push forward. He found a D-tier person making a chuckling sound, as ifmenting.

    He bowed his head and asked politely, ¡°Sir, what¡¯s the problem with Mr. Zhao¡¯s auction? I remember that the value of a beast emperor crystal core doesn¡¯t cost as much as 80 billion!¡±

    The man who was being asked was a D-tier gunner with a rifle on his back. He gave Qin Feng a fleeting nce, noticing the E-tier aptitude user badge and obviously looked like he did not care.

    ¡°Are you standing in for your boss?¡± the man asked.

    Qin Feng smiled and did not refute.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing to talk about, this Zhao Tianche is from a group called the Dacheng Organization. Small group, not very impressive. They have a C-tier aptitude user who met a D3 beast emperor in the past and got two of his buddies to help him take it down.¡±

    Qin Feng naturally knew what the Dacheng Organization was. Back when he was in the Chengbei colony, he and Zhou Hao were invited into the group when they were being certified for G-tier.

    At that time, Zhou Hao thought that the group was powerful but from the mouth of a D-tier, they were just a small group!

    Even if the person in charge of the group was much stronger than the D-tier speaking!

    The man next to Qin Feng continued, ¡°The three teamed up and defeated the beast emperor after a very tough battle, but they ended up meeting Lei Ying, the Leitang Organization¡¯s chairman, on their way home!¡±

    Such a meeting in the wilderness, Qin Feng could already see what happened after that!

    ¡°Lei Ying took advantage of the situation and the Dacheng Organization¡¯s people barely escaped by the skin of their teeth!¡±

    ¡°However, Cheng Dacheng of the Dacheng Group managed to steal the D3 beast emperor¡¯s crystal core at the cost of serious injuries and now wants to sell it and heal his injuries with the money!¡±

    ¡°Ah, makes sense. So the Hou family¡¯s just kicking someone who¡¯s down and trying to lower the price.¡±

    The man nodded, a little sorrowful in his action but he did not have the money to buy the beast emperor crystal core even if he wanted to. Just looking at the thing told him that it probably would wind up in a treasury belonging to some big family.

    Besides that, Lei Chang was also staring at the crystal core. In fact, he was thinking about a lot of things.

    As time dragged on, Cheng Danheng¡¯s injuries would no longer be sustainable and his power would drop. Then the Leitang Organization can take the lead and crush the Dacheng Organization once and for all.

    And that would not even cost a penny.

 Chapter 322 - Splurging 100 Billion

    <h4>Chapter 322: Splurging 100 Billion</h4>

    The clock was ticking. Zhao Tianche¡¯s expression was turning stiffer by the moment. There was disappointment in his eyes.

    ¡°80 billion!¡±

    A voice suddenly rang out.

    Everyone was in shock!

    All who were present were aptitude users. They locked onto the source of the voice almost instantaneously.

    The people around Qin Feng stared at him in a dumbfounded manner, including the person whom Qin Feng had questioned previously.

    ¡°Chen Xiang, don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re bidding? Where did you get so much money?¡± Another person who knew the middle-aged man beside Qin Feng quickly interjected.

    The man known as Chen Xiang quickly shrugged. ¡°I didn¡¯t say that, can¡¯t you tell how my voice sounds?¡±

    The person was confused. Although he knew it was not Chen Xiang¡¯s voice, from where the sound came from, only a young man remained, and he was only an E-tier to boot.

    Chen Xiang too, looked at Qin Feng. He tried to persuade him in a low voice. ¡°Little brother, have you asked your superiors? This is no simple auction, without sufficient financial backing, you would be eaten up by others!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. He did not know that the person would be so kind-hearted. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, big brother!¡±

    ¡®Don¡¯t worry?¡¯ Chen Xiang¡¯s heart was pounding. Although he sounded rxed, how would an E-tier like Qin Feng be able to withstand forceful takeovers like this? The Hou family and the Leitang Organization both had C-tier aptitude users.

    At this moment, Lei Chang too looked over.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± There was a storm in Lei Chang¡¯s eyes.

    If it were others, they probably would not be able to fork out so much money. But who the hell was Qin Feng?

    Not only did he have so much D-tier material in his hands, now he was even manipting the underground ck market of Fengli colony. He had so much funds on his hand that he could pay the price.

    Lei Chang had no clue that Qin Feng did not need to pull out resources from elsewhere. His other side as Bloodhunter alone had raked him a huge fortune.

    ¡°Something bothering you, Mr. Lei?¡± Qin Feng looked at Lei Chang in aposed manner. He did not panic like everyone else thought he would.

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t you act clueless with me!¡±

    ¡°Ha, Mr. Lei. I¡¯m not acting clueless, I am clueless! It¡¯s my first time here and I¡¯m unaware of many things. The only thing I know is whoever wants the goods, he¡¯s gotta have something to show!¡±

    Lei Chang stared at him ragingly as if he was about to give him a good scolding.

    But then, Qin Feng looked toward Zhao Tianche who was on the auction tform.

    ¡°Mr. Zhao, it¡¯s almost time. I¡¯ve given my offer and if there¡¯s no one else bidding, don¡¯t you think the good¡¯s mine now?¡± said Qin Feng.

    Zhao Tianche could not contain his delight. Who knew someone would actually bid for the item!

    He quickly agreed to the deal. But at that moment, another voice sounded.

    ¡°81 billion!¡±

    The crowd looked over. It was Tieh Lei.

    A beast emperor was capable of pulling up amon person from the realms of mediocrity into a dominion of strength and talents.

    Tieh Lei, as the disciple of a well-known family, was defeated by an unknown ¡°Bloodhunter¡± who was not even twenty-years of age in the Battlegod Tomb. He craved for an upgrade for himself within the shortest time possible.

    ¡°83 billion!¡± Qin Feng bid.

    ¡°84 billion!¡± Hou Yangjiao was relentless.

    On the other hand, Lei Chang was clenching his teeth.

    Yet, he did not dare to bid.

    Lei Chang had no money. The Leitang Organization did not have that much funds for him to splurge.

    Qin Feng¡¯s gazended on Lei Chang. He noticed that he had not put in a bid. He asked, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to bid, Mr. Lei? You were so confident back then.¡±

    Lei Chang¡¯s face turned pale.

    Qin Feng smiled gently when Lei Chang became speechless. He then called out, ¡°90 billion!¡±

    The price quickly escted.

    Hou Yangjiao did not want to lose out. ¡°91 billion!¡±

    Qin Feng remained calm. ¡°100 billion!¡±

    He could hear the people surrounding him gasping for air.

    One hundred billion was not really that high of a price for a beast emperor crystal core.

    But it was not something within reach of those present.

    All of them felt that Qin Feng was too conceited.

    Hou Yangjiao said scornfully, ¡°Where did youe from? Do you really have that much money? Stop calling out ridiculous prices, get out of here!¡±

    As she spoke, the air around Hou Yangjiao changed. In an instant, a burst of D-tier ancient warrior aura exploded from her in a hostile manner.

    If Qin Feng were really an E-tier aptitude user, Hou Yangjiao¡¯s aura alone would overwhelm Qin Feng.

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    The air around Qin Feng too experienced a sudden change. In the next moment, a heavy internal strength was unleashed from him.

    Within moments, Hou Yangjiao¡¯s aura waspletely ravaged. Qin Feng¡¯s aura was crushing Hou Yangjiao¡¯s.

    Hou Yangjiao groaned. She took three steps back to get away from Qin Feng¡¯s circle of aura.

    Qin Feng was quite forgiving. After a short sneer, he retracted his aura.

    ¡°Lady, you¡¯re wounded. Better not force yourself or your base would be damaged!¡±

    It seemed like Qin Feng was giving advice, but in reality, he was giving out a warning!

    Hou Yangjiao quivered. She could not afford to care about her dignity. Blood was dripping out from the corner of her lips.

    Qin Feng¡¯s aura had already wounded Hou Yangjiao¡¯s meridian, causing backflows in her blood channels.

    The crowd was stunned by the scene.

    Though Hou Yangjiao might be wounded, someone who could pull this off could not be a normal person.

    At the very least, all of them knew that Qin Feng was a D-tier aptitude user!

    Even Chen Xiang, who was worried about Qin Feng, was stunned!

    ¡°Any other bidders?¡±

    Qin Feng surveyed around. His gazended upon Tieh Lei and Lei Chang.

    Their lips were tightly shut. They did not speak a word.

    Obviously, they did not dare to say anything.

    Only then Qin Feng looked toward Zhao Tianche who was on the tform.

    ¡°100 billion, sold!¡± Zhao Tian Che was no professional auctioneer, and he had no intention of having further dys. The amount was already more than what he had expected.

    Zhao Tianche picked up the beast emperor¡¯s ability core.

    ¡°Make way!¡±

    Zhao Tianche proceeded to Qin Feng¡¯s side. His eyes were filled with gratitude.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, was it? Though I do not know you, I¡¯m grateful to you this time!¡± Zhao Tianche said.

    ¡°It¡¯s but a fair deal, Mr. Zhao. Don¡¯t overthink it!¡±

    ¡°Whatever it is, I¡¯m still thankful to you. Here¡¯s the beast emperor crystal core, please verify it!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. He opened up the crystal case. The aura of the beast emperor¡¯s crystal core poured out.

    Having seen his share of ability cores, the energy within the crystal was rather strong. To top it off, it had even evolved¡ª it was as good as the Blue me Peacock Emperor¡¯s crystal core.

    Under normal circumstances, two hundred billion would not even cut it.

    ¡°It¡¯s good. What¡¯s your contact number?¡±

    ¡°Please transfer it to the CEO of Dacheng Organization. Name: Cheng Dacheng, the contact number is...¡±

    Qin Feng entered the details. A notice lit up. After confirming the messages, the deal was done.

    Money in one hand, goods in another.

    The beast emperor crystal core had now fallen into Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    At that moment, a terrible event happened abruptly!

    Boom!

    They heard the sound of a bomb beingunched from a faraway barrel.

    All of the D and E-tiers turned their heads and looked out the window.

    A gold-colored bomb came into sight.

 Chapter 323 - Newborn Calf Fears No Tiger

    <h4>Chapter 323: Newborn Calf Fears No Tiger</h4>

    ng!

    The window shattered instantly. The bombnded inside the room.

    Boom!

    A loud explosion urred, followed by a cloud of dense, dark smoke.

    The thick smoke was created from dark runes.

    It was a reinforced smoke bomb.

    In the darkness, a few aptitude users rose and rushed toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not recognize all of them!

    Within moments, there were at least three swords that had locked on to Qin Feng¡¯s arm. His hand would be severed if he did not pull back.

    ¡°Be careful!¡± warned Chen Siang the moment he felt the killing intent within the thick smoke.

    However, he too was being manipted by the dark runes and could not see his surroundings clearly.

    ¡°Trying to kill me? I¡¯d sure like to see if you¡¯re capable!¡±

    Boom! An intense aura spread out from Qin Feng.

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng was surrounded by ayer of internal strength.

    They pierced their swords against thetter¡¯s internal strength.

    Naturally, internal strength also existed within their swords. However, they were unable to prate Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength when they came into contact with it!

    Their internal strength wascking.

    Qin Feng inserted the beast emperor crystal core into his spatial rune equipment without any fuss.

    The people around him panicked.

    ¡°Men, we must charge together!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not possible, how could he be this strong!¡±

    ¡°He ain¡¯t got even a D-tier badge on him and he looks like he just came back from the frontline. Could he be from some great family?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no other great family here!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll kill him and get the beast emperor crystal core!¡±

    These people¡¯s words incited many others.

    With the thick cloud of ck smoke, all of them were trying to approach Qin Feng with bad intentions.

    But they would have never guessed that Qin Feng could see through the ck fog as clear as day. It did not impair his sights and senses in the slightest.

    Within the darkness, Hou Yangjiao¡¯s amusement, Tieh Lei¡¯s silence, as well as Lei Chang¡¯s delight were exposed for all to see.

    Chen Siang who was standing right beside Qin Feng furrowed his brows. He was getting nervous as the attacks against Qin Feng were affecting himself.

    ¡°Get out! Don¡¯t push your luck!¡± Chen Siang was enraged.

    Although they had only met for a short moment, Chen Siang did not want the young man to die here.

    In the next moment, through intentions alone, Chen Siang manifested a piece of sharp rock in midair.

    He was an earth-elemental ability user!

    No wonder he was so modest previously. Even the mention of a C-tier aptitude user did not shake him.

    Ability users were a rare urrence. They were naturally proud races.

    The rock turned into half a sphere and shielded Qin Feng from enemies to his right. He had helped Qin Feng unknowingly!

    Yet, Chen Siang did not speak in the darkness.

    ¡°Mind your own business!¡±

    A deep voice came through!

    The person who spoke had used internal energy to change his voice. He still kept his attacks up however and crushed through Chen Siang¡¯s attack.

    The battleground was chaotic. Chen Siang was dripping sweat from his forehead. His consciousness was wavering.

    Qin Feng understood now that Chen Siang was trying to help him.

    Not everyone was a bad guy in the end times. There were still people who stood by their principles.

    ¡°Thanks, Brother Chen!¡± Qin Feng passed his message through internal energy to Chen Siang.

    Chen Siang was surprised. Sending voice through internal energy would require Qin Feng to know his position. On the other hand, Chen Siang could scan the whole ce with his conscious energy.

    ¡°What are you waiting for? Make your escape now!¡± Chen Siang sent out his voice using his consciousness.

    ¡°Haha, Brother Chen, you go on ahead, I¡¯ll follow soon!¡±

    As he spoke, Qin Feng pushed out with both his hands. A gentle yet unnerving internal strength enveloped Chen Siang and pushed him away!

    ng!

    The windows were shattered. Chen Siang was sent out the window.

    Looking around, three other people were still harassing Qin Feng. Even though they were still surrounded by the dark fog, they were too close to him and knew his position.

    ¡°Hand over the beast emperor crystal core and you might still live.¡±

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you stop now and I¡¯ll spare your lives!¡±

    Too bad nobody did.

    After hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words, they were able to confirm his position and charged head-on.

    Qin Feng sneered when he saw what was happening. His internal strength shot up.

    In his hand, a sword burning in blue mes appeared from thin air.

    ¡°Blooming me!¡±

    A mesmerizingly beautiful blue me spread out in an instant.

    The dark runic fog was abruptly washed away by the huge aura.

    The three unknown ancient warriors were now exposed.

    Swoosh!

    The chilling edge of the de was like a silver flower.

    Fwoosh!

    Wounds began appearing on all three of them. Gushes of blood streamed out!

    ¡°Argghhhh!¡±

    Thus, the wailings began.

    The three men fell to the ground. But there were still more charging in from behind. Qin Feng was like a piece of fat meat to them. Their eyes were lit up.

    Qin Feng sneered again, setting his intent in motion.

    ¡°Fire Dragon!¡±

    ¡°Aughhh!¡±

    The scarlet fire dragon¡¯s eyes set its sights upon the hall, sweeping all of them to the ground.

    Now that Qin Feng had obtained the beast emperor crystal core of the Blue me Peacock, his consciousness was at the same level as an emperor. His fire dragon became even more scorching, sending fear into others.

    These D-tier aptitude users were trying to resist using their internal strength or conscious energy.

    They were struggling beneath the fire dragon¡¯s howl.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, seemed like he was beyond everyone.

    ¡°Merely such strength? And yet you dare to attack me?¡±

    Qin Feng mocked them before triggering his Phantom Motion Steps and vanishing into thin air.

    The fire dragon¡¯s appearance had swept away the dark fog. Qin Feng appeared in front of Lei Chang. Naturally, Lei Chang was able to see him.

    ¡°Qin Feng, how dare you!¡±

    Lei Chang shouted at him with a quivering voice.

    He thought he was about to be killed.

    But Qin Feng did not n to kill Lei Chang. He did not, however, n to let him go as well.

    ¡°Fiery Peacock!¡±

    In the next moment, a blue-colored peacock flew toward Lei Chang and shattered his ancient internal strength barrier.

    Boom!

    The fiery peacock charged at Lei Chang,unching him to one of the hall¡¯s pirs.

    Qin Feng turned around and raised his hand. He was pointing at Tieh Lei¡¯s position.

    ¡°Magma Rush!¡±

    Arge pile of mes gathered on the ground. The floor began to melt and turned intova.

    Boom!

    The magma ejected from the ground and blew Tieh Lei to the ceiling.

    ng!

    It tore a hole in the roof. The dark, starry sky outside was now visible.

    Qin Feng scanned his surroundings. Within the auction aisles, all twenty-over people who tried to ambush Qin Feng had been defeated.

    He pointed at the fire dragon. The dragon shot up into the clouds, making another hole in the roof.

    ¡°I¡¯ll spare you guys since it¡¯s my first time to Shadong Town. I won¡¯t go easy on you guys next time!¡±

    After his speech, the peacock¡¯s feathers fanned out behind Qin Feng. They turned into two blue wings that carried him into the skies.

    As he was being carried through the crowd, he snatched a person up and flew through the hole in the roof, disappearing from within their sights.

    In a building outside the Wanzong Auction House, a group of people had gathered around. They were the people who were smart enough to save themselves when the chaos broke out.

    The one at the lead was Chen Siang.

    Scarlet-blue mes that lit up the tallest floor of the auction house were reflecting off their eyes.

    ¡°The newborn calf sure fears no tiger!¡±

 Chapter 324 - The Freemen Alliance

    <h4>Chapter 324: The Freemen Alliance</h4>

    Qin Feng did not go far. He stopped at another building after flying away from the Wanzong Auction Hall before plunging to the streets.

    Since they did not go far, many people that had seen him locked on to him.

    As soon as they saw that Qin Feng hadnded on the ground, the aptitude users around had their eyes peeled.

    They sensed a pressure that was natural to a D-tier aptitude user on Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Both the pedestrians and the hovercraft drivers held their breaths. Their heads were lowered and they avoided making direct eye contact with Qin Feng.

    It was a quiet kind of fear.

    Although they had no idea what happened, they saw Qin Feng emerge from the Wanzong Auction Hall that was on fire and the D-tier battle like a victor. They also heard the voice that was passed down through his internal energy!

    Qin Feng ignored the crowd¡¯s gaze. He put Bai Li down and went into a hotel.

    The hotel manager quickly attended to him.

    ¡°Sir, would you like to check-in or have a meal?¡± The manager spoke dutifully.

    ¡°Check-in, just get me a room!¡±

    ¡°Certainly, this way please!¡±

    The manager brought Qin Feng into the hotel.

    Only then the heavy air outside began to subside, followed by a string of discussions.

    ¡°Who is that guy? A neer?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s another D-tier aptitude user and he¡¯s strong as hell!¡±

    ¡°What happened at the Wanzong Auction Hall just now? Wasn¡¯t there supposed to be an auction today?¡±

    At that moment, on another building, Chen Siang and the rest were perplexed as well.

    ¡°Oh well, let¡¯s disperse!¡±

    ¡°Chen Siang you old man, you sure have some luck. Looks like the neer is really strong!¡±

    ¡°Agreed, he ispetent in both martial arts and aptitudes. Once he has absorbed Zhao Tianche¡¯s beast emperor crystal core, his talents would certainly undergo another round of transformation!¡±

    ¡°They called him Qin Feng just now...¡±

    ¡°What? He¡¯s Qin Feng!¡±

    The crowd soon realized who he was.

    The aptitude user who had obtained the beast emperor crystal core of the Blue me Peacock.

    At that moment, Chen Siang did not know whether tough or cry.

    ¡°Forget it, I wouldn¡¯t ce so much hope on ate bloomer. Hopefully, the Leitangs or the Hou family won¡¯te to me looking for trouble after this!¡±

    Chen Siang said as he waved his hand.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you let him join us?¡± One of them suggested.

    ¡°Yeah, he¡¯ll be a boon!¡±

    ¡°What help? It¡¯ll probably turn into trouble. He¡¯s really had it now¡ªhe single-handedly disgraced so many D-tiers. He even interrupted Leitang¡¯s n and offended the whole Hou family. Who knows what¡¯s going to happen next!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s my concern as well, but I don¡¯t regret stepping in. We¡¯ll take another look at this Qin Feng¡¯s character next time, let¡¯s disperse!¡± Chen Siang ushered them to leave.

    Chen Siang was not part of any group, and he was not the core leader of the party.

    These people were solo aptitude users that had scattered across thend. They were slightly weaker than the great ancient warrior families and fought alone most of the time, which made them vulnerable to bullies. As time went by, they formed a Freemen Alliance.

    At the very least, they would support each other on the battlefield.

    Qin Feng¡¯s sudden appearance, as well as his strengths that surpassed the organizations and great ancient warrior families gave them a new idea.

    The catch was no one knew how Qin Feng thought of it.

    Perhaps he was just trying to catch the organization or the family¡¯s attention so that he could be invited to join them?

    At that moment, Qin Feng was in the hotel,pletely clueless about these people¡¯s intentions. He checked around the room and only rxed after knowing that there were no surveince devices.

    ¡°Take guard outside, let me know if anythinges up!¡± Qin Feng ordered Bai Li.

    ¡°Um, understood!¡±

    Bai Li nodded and yed with hermunicator.

    Qin Feng took out his Battlegod Token.

    Absorbing the crystal core would release some aura that could spell unwanted trouble.

    When Qin Feng absorbed the Blue me Peacock¡¯s crystal core, it caused the release of an immense aura. Although he seeded in the end, it would be too dangerous without Bai Li¡¯s help.

    Now that so many people were on the lookout for him, he had to be extremely cautious.

    Buzz!

    Qin Feng poured in his internal energy into the Battlegod Token. A silver halo appeared around him. He vanished into midair and entered the Battlegod Tomb.

    At the first level of the Battlegod Tomb, Liu Xue, Wang Chen, and the rest of them were still strengthening themselves using the dragon¡¯s blood. Zhou Hao was also training vigorously in the Battlegod Shrine. Xue Xingfu was probably managing the underground ck market at his hour.

    Everyone was hard at work!

    Qin Feng went into arger training chamber without interrupting the rest of them.

    After that, he took out the beast emperor crystal core.

    ¡°Before I was reborn, I couldn¡¯t even dream of this!¡±

    Before he was reborn, Qin Feng was not weak.

    But some things could only be possible when they were at the same level.

    The beast emperor crystal core for instance.

    Qin Feng could only challenge the D-tier beast emperor when he had be a C-tier. A D-tier beast emperor could only be defeated by arge number of C-tier aptitude users. There were exceptions to this, such as the Blue me Peacock that was nearing its age or if it had identally suffered some kind of wound that could be exploited.

    However, a D-tier beast emperor crystal core had no effect in increasing a C-tier¡¯s skills!

    It would be a waste to use it.

    One hundred billion for a D-tier was unimaginable wealth.

    A C-tier would require the crystal core of a C-tier beast emperor. That would be out of Qin Feng¡¯s reach.

    A B-tier beast emperor was strong enough to overturn the rivers and the seas!

    An A-tier beast? Not even an S-tier elite would dare to provoke it.

    ¡°I¡¯ve built up upon my advantages well ever since I was reborn. I could easily obtain even the beast emperor crystal core!¡± Qin Feng gently smiled as he opened the crystal case.

    Within the case was a crystal core about the size of a basketball, lying silently in the middle.

    Qin Feng ced his hand on the crystal core and ignited an explosion of aptitude.

    ¡°Aptitude¡ª absorb!¡±

    The crystal core was visibly slowly getting smaller.

    The vast energy transcended into the bones and limbs of Qin Feng through both of his hands.

    His body was being reinforced continuously. Even his blood had be different!

    From his skin, muscle, bones, up until his internal organs, they were being strengthened continuously.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body could now release even more immense energy.

    Finally, the crystal core turned into the size of a fist. The dark part at the center was revealed to be a small Qirin in liquefied form.

    The Qirin soon turned into a thick fog before being instantly absorbed by Qin Feng.

    The dense, ck fog was wavering among Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness. It was spat out before converging into his meridians. The energy was different from his internal energy, yet there was no rejection.

    Finally, the tiny Qirin had reached inside Qin Feng¡¯s dantian. It stood on top of a puddle and started galloping.

    Each movement was like an entrancing pattern.

    Qin Feng quickly discovered that the Qirin was utilizing simr techniques as the Overcast Dragon.

    Much like the Overcast Dragon¡¯s technique that was used to conduct physical training, the Steel Qirin was almost the same.

 Chapter 325 - The D-tier Badge Trial

    <h4>Chapter 325: The D-tier Badge Trial</h4>

    After a round of practice, the ck-colored Qirin vanished, unleashing energy that seeped into Qin Feng¡¯s bones.

    Qin Feng¡¯s bones were enhanced by numerous items, including an S-tier skeletal arm of a wisdom tribe creature.

    Now, Qin Feng¡¯s bones were once again being concentrated and fortified!

    ck! ck! ck!

    An odd noise crackled from his bones.

    Qin Feng¡¯s bones were fortified once.

    It was by the Dark-Robed Ripper during his time at the Zimu Mountains.

    But now, the fortification was moreplete.

    The metallic hue on top of his bones was more condensed than before. It was absolutely dark in color.

    He had even learned a new, secret way of strengthening his bones.

    Huff!

    Qin Feng exhaled.

    His bones made a crackling sound as he rose up. There was a strange satisfaction to it.

    He had finally broken through the chains of limitations of his physical body.

    Only by bing a D-tier could he be an emperor!

    The beast emperor crystal core that was on his hands had vanished. Only the empty crystal case remained.

    He started to inject some of his internal aura back into the Battlegod Token. The spatial rune moved slightly. He left the Battlegod Tomb.

    It was almost dawn in the outside world. Bai Li was in deep sleep with her tiny lips pouting.

    Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He proceeded to take a shower in the bathroom before lying down on the bed. It was only his first night in Shadong Town and it had been an eventful one. Things could only get more interesting from now onward!

    He was looking forward to it!

    He slept until noon time. He then scrounged around for something to eat after waking up. Qin Feng turned on hismunicator. There was a message from the Wanzong Auction Hall.

    After pondering for a while, he decided to call them back.

    The line was soon established. A slightly chubby man appeared. He was a D-tier!

    ¡°Good day Mr. Qin, I am the general manager of the Wanzong Organisation in Shadong, Lu Wanbao!¡± he said while chuckling.

    Qin Feng was stunned.

    Lu Wanbao would be one of the top businessmen in the world.

    In terms of business acumen, he was very different from Xue Xingfu. Lu Wanbao would spend all his money on des and build on his skills. In ten years¡¯ time, he would be an A-tier!

    ¡°It¡¯s a pleasure Mr. Lu, I saw your fines. I¡¯ll be sure topensate you!¡± said Qin Feng.

    A chaotic battle eruptedst night. Although Lu Wanbao was a D-tier, he did not dare to join in the fight.

    But none could escape the fines. Messing around with Wanzong had its costs.

    In the end, Qin Feng had to pay more than five hundred thousand. The twenty over peoplest night had to fork out over ten million.

    ¡°You sure are an understanding man, Mr. Qin. But I don¡¯t really need the money. I¡¯ve purposely left mymunication number for you to make a trade!¡±

    ¡°For the materials on me?¡± replied Qin Feng.

    ¡°A smart man like you sure makes it easy to talk to!¡± Lu Wanbao nodded smilingly.

    Qin Feng smiled gently as well. He said, ¡°You¡¯re going to ask me to auction them, aren¡¯t you?¡±

    Lu Wanbao quickly replied,¡± Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s better? Those are some great materials.¡±

    Yes, they were great materials, but themission for the auction was high. There would not be much profit left.

    Qin Feng smiled gently. ¡°Why don¡¯t we make a deal!¡±

    Lu Wanbao hesitated for a moment.

    ¡°What deal?¡±

    Qin Feng continued, ¡°You can get these off my hand for something of equal value. You can even auction them off, I won¡¯t even ask about the price!¡±

    Lu Wanbao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°How so!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s two D-tier beast king crystal cores were worth about thirty billion. The other stuff was about thirty billion as well.

    Fengli colony could only procure thirty energy cores for Bai Li. She was leveling up slowly as well. But if things continue as they were, it would take too much time.

    ¡°Thirty E-tier beast king crystal core and ten D-tier beast king crystal core!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    That would cost around sixty five billion yuan. Still, the Wanzong Organisation had their own channels to procure items at cost price. Qin Feng was confident that the Wanzong Organisation could have it covered.

    He would even make a profit.

    Furthermore, it was not a bother!

    Lu Wanbao only thought about it for a while before nodding in agreement.

    ¡°Alright, give me an hour!¡±

    Qin Feng knew that there was a secret ce in the Wanzong Organisation known as the Treasure Chamber. The Wanzong Organisation kept its most prized possession inside. Only a D-tier manager was able to enter and move its goods. That was how they earned their business through arbitrage in differentnds.

    For Qin Feng, an hour was worth waiting for!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ll be reporting to the Aptitude Certification Hall today to get an assignment from them!¡±

    Qin Feng left the hotel and drove toward Shadong Town¡¯s Aptitude Certification Hall.

    The hall was very busy. The town was closest to the frontlines where war could break out at any moment. There were many missions and they were always changing.

    Once Qin Feng stepped into the hall, he could see the map of the North Sea Desert. It was densely plotted with red dots.

    Ultra beasts, wisdom tribes, they were all there!

    Qin Feng went to the first floor where it was much quieter. There were only four or five people.

    They were all D-tiers.

    They were sitting on a sofa in the first-floor lounge, drinking water, and discussing something.

    ¡°Do you require any assistance?¡± the attendant went up to ask.

    ¡°We¡¯re here to ask for a D-tier badge trial!¡±

    The attendant was relieved.

    Although the first floor was reserved for D-tiers, the attendants were just mere mortals. They would have a hard time chasing out an E-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°Over here, please! Please send us your details.¡±

    Qin Feng sent out his information. The attendant was stunned for a moment. He raised his head and looked toward Qin Feng a few times.

    ¡°Sir, your mission has been sent. Other than this mission, there¡¯s a daily mission thatsts for three months. Remember to hand them in on time every day.¡±

    Beep!

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator rang. Not only that, but a bunch of other things were also loaded up as well, such as the Shadong territory¡¯s area-widework and updated map as well.

    However, when he saw the mission, Qin Feng furrowed his brows.

    Bai Li¡¯smunicator made a beeping sound as well.

    ¡°I¡¯m supposed to kill one hundred sand lizardfolk, what¡¯s yours?¡± Bai Li asked.

    ¡°Mine as well!¡± replied Qin Feng. He looked at the attendant. It was just a simple nce, but it made the attendant break out in cold sweat.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng said nothing more and left with Bai Li.

    The attendant¡¯s leg gave out. He fell down to the ground on his knees.

    But soon enough, he sent out a message with his trembling hands. ¡°Master Lei, I have done exactly as you have told me to.¡±

    On the other side, in a luxurious condominium.

    Lei Chang, who was wrapped up in a bandage, was looking grim.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you may be able to defeat humans, but can you defeat ultra beasts? I¡¯d sure like to see how you are gonna die!¡±

 Chapter 326 - Emergency Alert

    <h4>Chapter 326: Emergency Alert</h4>

    As Qin Feng walked out of the Aptitude Certification Hall, Bai Li asked, ¡°What happened to that attendant just now? He looked like he was scared sh*tless!¡±

    ¡°He has a guilty conscience!¡± Qin Feng snickered.

    ¡°Why? We don¡¯t even know him!¡±

    ¡°He might know us, yesterday was a big mess and I offended a lot of people, so he tried to find a different way to cause me more trouble.¡±

    Qin Feng pointed at the mission disyed on hismunicator.

    ¡°The sand lizardfolk are one of the most powerful intelligent races in the North Sea Desert. There aren¡¯t a lot of them, maybe only three to four hundred of them, and they live underground.¡±

    ¡°Their location isn¡¯t easy to detect, I know some of theirmon spots, but they are all deep in the North Sea Desert. Even if we go by hover copter, it¡¯ll take us twenty minutes, which means we¡¯ll be out of the protection range of Shadong Town.¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s more, these creatures are a species of intelligent race. Forget about killing a hundred of them, killing one would enrage the entire race and we¡¯ll be under a deadly pursuit. Killing two hundred is equal to challenging the entire race!¡±

    Qin Feng had already figured out that this must be a trap set by someone!

    Who exactly it was, was still unknown, but Qin Feng did not care at all.

    ¡°Well, it¡¯s just one race you¡¯re facing. You¡¯re already an emperor-tier user, what¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡± Bai Li said, indifferently. ¡°An emperor should show his dominance! I can guarantee you that with a single w strike, I can level the entire Shandong Town!¡±

    ¡°Pfft!¡± Qin Feng was entertained by Bai Li¡¯s words, he grabbed Bai Li¡¯s snowy white hands. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to catch your hands before you really destroy the Town!¡±

    Bai Li lifted her chin and snorted, ¡°Just don¡¯t mess with me or I¡¯ll really do it! If I were you, I wouldn¡¯t provoke me too, because God knows what I would do once I¡¯m angered!¡±

    ¡°Such smugness!¡±

    Just right at this moment, the ear-piercing sirens suddenly sounded.

    Beep, beep, beep

    Emergency alert!

    The faces on the surrounding pedestrians turned pale.

    However, they did not look too panicked and remained calm. They only picked up their pace.

    In Shadong Town, such a situation would happen at any time.

    Soon, the map of Shadong Town disyed on Qin Feng¡¯smunicator began to sh in red.

    On the westside of Shadong Town, a giant herd of ultra beasts was suddenly swarming in their direction. There were at least a few thousand of them, and it looked like they were about to invade Shadong Town.

    [Barbaric Sandbulls detected approaching Shadong Town, 821 E-tiers, 161 D-tiers and one D-tier beast general detected.]

    [Aptitude users are wanted at the frontline as soon as possible.]

    Qin Feng quickly took out his Silver Bolt and drove out.

    Buzz!

    Over their heads,bat hover copters were up and flying, and the copters had fired off missiles which were sted at a faraway area.

    ¡°Looks like we really do need to invest on abat hover copter, or else we might be thest ones to arrive and we¡¯ll only get to savour the remnants!¡±

    Qin Feng had no choice but to step harder on the pedal!

    It took Qin Feng ten minutes to arrive at the battlefield. By the time they arrived, a herd of barbaric sandbulls were seen on the desert dunes. They were stopped by the oing gunfire and were no longer dashing wildly toward Shadong Town.

    ¡°Gunners, quickly! Split up the herd and let the ancient warriors charge forward!¡±

    The gunners fired bullets and cannons to disperse the herd in any way they could.

    A few barbaric sandbulls were toppled over by the explosions and fell onto the sand, and immediately the ancient warriors charged to y them.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    An ancient warrior shrieked as he was trampled into the sand by the herd of sandbulls. The sand was instantly dyed red with blood.

    ¡°It¡¯s a D-tier!¡±

    ¡°Get out of the way!¡±

    A man in a special yellow uniform stormed in and shouted.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why do we have so few D-tiers today?¡±

    ¡°General Hu, there¡¯s no need for all that screaming. Didn¡¯t you know what happenedst night at the Wanzong Auction House? Our D-tier warriors were all injured!¡±

    ¡°Who did it? Why do we have internal conflicts every day? What do we do now? Huh? Tell me, what can we do now?¡±

    The others did not dare to talk back to General Hu.

    The general of the frontline of Shadong Town was definitely a D-tier. He wasmissioned by the Human Alliance and was also themander-in-chief of the entire Shadong Town!

    ¡°Wasn¡¯t there a newly promoted D-tier aptitude user from the Three Cities along the Sun yesterday? Didn¡¯t he disrupt the entire event and injure the attendees? So why didn¡¯t he show up, isn¡¯t he very powerful?¡± Another D-tier ability user sneered.

    General Hu was furious, ¡°Then let hime to settle things.¡±

    Squeak!

    A shiny Silver Bolt parked right next to the general¡¯s hover copter.

    ¡°What? Someone¡¯s looking for me?¡±

    The car door opened and a young man stepped out.

    It was none other than Qin Feng!

    General Hu was in the middle of his speech with much rudeness, same as the other D-tier aptitude user who did not even try to hide his smugness. After Qin Feng arrived and was about to get out of the car, he overheard their conversation and sat back down on the driver¡¯s seat.

    At this time, Qin Feng had decided to not give face at all. He parked his car beside the two and was obviously trying to embarrass them.

    If one dared to talk behind his back, they must be prepared to face the consequences.

    Qin Feng had his eyes locked on to the person beside General Hu. ¡°This person doesn¡¯t look like he¡¯s injured much, probably because I was being a little too kind yesterday.¡± he snickered.

    ¡°You!¡± The man¡¯s face was instantly reddened.

    ¡°Stop it, would you please read the room?¡± General Hu was furious

    Qin Feng snickered again and turned his attention to the battlefield.

    Then, his body moved abruptly.

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    He channelled internal strength into his legs and advanced forward rapidly, like a walking dragon.

    It was the qing gong he had learned from the Battlegod Tomb.

    He continued to dash forward in a straight line with incredible speed.

    A D-tier barbaric sandbull lifted its leg and was about to stomp down. Its huge body was three meters tall and it resembled arge truck.

    ¡°Fiery Peacock!¡±

    Blue-colored mes surged out of nowhere, and in the blink of an eye, the mes formed into a peacock that was dancing in the air.

    ¡°Choo...¡±

    The peacock chirped and dived forward, mming into the D-tier barbaric sandbull at once.

    The sandbull was suddenly enveloped in blue mes, the mes were so strong that it almost instantly prated the beast¡¯s chest.

    Barbaric sandbulls were known to have immense defense, so strong that even an ordinary disintegrating gun could only break open the sandbull¡¯s skin. Now, the sandbull was instantly burned into ashes in the middle of the mes, as if it was a piece of paper mache!

    An E-tier aptitude user that had escaped death was in awe. He could not believe what he had just seen and his jaw was on the ground.

    Qin Feng looked toward the battlefield and raised his hand. Blue mes appeared in the sky.

    ¡°Fire Rain!¡±

    The mes of the evolved Blue me Peacock were extremely hot. They fell from the sky like meteorites, and the hundreds of barbaric sandbulls within a hundred meters were instantly showered and covered in mes. They began letting out painful shrieks!

    ¡°Moo!¡±

    The sandbulls panicked.

    At this moment, an even more muscr, four-meter tall barbaric sandbull rushed out from among the herd and dashed toward Qin Feng¡¯s direction.

    ¡°It¡¯s the beast general!¡±

    ¡°Get out of the way!¡±

    People began to shout.

    As the sandbull stomped both of its legs onto the ground, a huge earth dragon made of sand was formed and it swept across the battlefield.

    Within fifty meters in front of it, a terrifying pressure storm was formed.

    Even the D-tier aptitude users instantly turned pale!

    Just at this time, Qin Feng looked at the earth dragon which had ws and teeth. He felt his consciousness exploding from within his body.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Technique!¡±

    A gigantic fire dragon was summoned!

 Chapter 327 - One Manâ€™s Strength

    <h4>Chapter 327: One Man¡¯s Strength</h4>

    The fire dragon roared and the earth dragon let out a low growl. The two shed together which resulted in an enormous st!

    The searing sands exploded and pelted at the E-tier aptitude users nearby, sending them flying.

    ¡°Moo!¡±

    The barbaric sandbull beast general was unaffected by the sand pellets. Its hard flesh provided almost-indestructible defense, and these burning sand pellets could not inflict any harm on him.

    Its sight was locked on to Qin Feng, and its eyes had turned crimson red.

    Qin Feng felt the sand dunes change beneath his feet.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Qin Feng raced forward to attack the bull head-on!

    A vortex was suddenly formed at the ce where Qin Feng was standing before.

    It was the Sand Trap ability.

    Qin Feng unleashed his conscious energy and ignited below the barbaric sandbull¡¯s feet.

    ¡°Magma!¡±

    The ground quickly turned into molten magma, and all four legs of the barbaric sandbull beast general were immersed in it, drowning it in scalding hotva.

    ¡°Moo!¡±

    ¡°Magma Rush!¡±

    A pir of magma shot up from the magma floor and struck the beast general¡¯s abdomen.

    The magma spurted upward and Qin Feng controlled it with his consciousness. The magma pir instantly grew from one meter to three meters tall.

    The pir could almost envelop the beast general¡¯s body, except for its head.

    The barbaric sandbull beast general also summoned a huge wave of sand to cover its position.

    The magma pir was washed away by the sand wave. The beast general was also washed to the side so it could dodge the deadly attack!

    The two of them fought to a standstill.

    From afar, the other D-tier aptitude users were bbergasted as they spectated the fight.

    The barbaric sandbull beast general reappeared. This time, its abdomen was charred ck, and the air was filled with the scent of cooked meat.

    It was heavily wounded.

    The barbaric sandbull beast general instantly turned around and fled!

    ¡°Moo!¡±

    After a long whistling moo, the once hectic and disordered herd was suddenly organized and they gathered around the beast general, following its escape.

    ¡°Not good, it¡¯s escaping!¡±

    The crowd was unwilling to let it go.

    Seeing that Qin Feng had seriously injured the barbaric sandbull best general, they would not let such a good opportunity slip out of their fingers!

    The spectating D-tier aptitude users decided to make their move.

    Qin Feng sneered at them. These freeloaders were the fastest humans on earth, and they were charging one behind the other.

    But Qin Feng was the closest to the battlefield, and there was no way the beast general could escape from his grasp!

    With a raise of his arm, the Verdant Emperor Saber that was kept in his spatial rune equipment was now in his hand.

    Now, the appearance of the Verdant Emperor Saber had changed greatly, and it was even more unique and eye-catching!

    At this point, not only did the saber have a unique appearance, it also wielded tremendous power.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Qin Feng did a horizontal sh with the saber at the escaping E-tier barbaric sandbulls. Their bodies were sliced in half.

    It was as easy as slicing cake!

    Qin Feng charged toward the barbaric sandbull beast general with his saber. He managed to catch up with it in just a hundred meters.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng shed downward. The huge mes from the burning sword re extended to ten meters long and struck the huge body of the barbaric sandbull beast general.

    The blue light from the mes shed before their eyes!

    Boom!

    The beast general could not stop its body and continued to charge forward. In the blink of an eye, its gigantic body was sliced into half and it then fell onto the ground.

    Qin Feng was able to cut the barbaric sandbull beast general into half with only a single slice.

    At this moment, Qin Feng realized that he was surrounded by the herd of barbaric sandbulls.

    Qin Feng had chased too far off.

    Now, he was in the center of the herd.

    But Qin Feng was not afraid in the slightest. He urged his conscious energy and a raging fire suddenly appeared.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    Great mes rose around Qin Feng within fifty meters from his body. The mes were two meters high, instantly swallowing the barbaric sandbulls.

    A few sandbulls closest to Qin Feng tried to resist the mes and continued to charge toward Qin Feng with their huge pointy horns.

    ¡°You still dare to charge at me?¡±

    Qin Feng repeatedly sh with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    All of the ultra beasts that were closest to Qin Feng died.

    The beasts that did not get close were lost in the sea of mes and ran around in panic. They fell to the ground before they could get out of the hellfire carpet¡¯s range.

    Once again, Qin Feng had exterminated hundreds of ultra beasts.

    In just half an hour, the herd of ultra beasts was reduced by two hundred in number.

    As soon as the beast general died, the herd was in disarray and scattered.

    Some of the ultra beasts retreated to the direction of the North Sea Desert, while some of them rushed toward Shadong Town.

    ¡°Stop them, obstruct them!¡± General Hu roared.

    The freeloaders who wanted to take advantage of the beasts were already following behind the herd. Due to the sudden chaos, they were the first ones who got to attack.

    Although those D-tiers who had reached the herd could barely deal with a single D-tier ultra beasts, they were not willing to die on the spot, or else that would just be miserable.

    In contrast with Qin Feng who was standing among the mes, the differences between their powers were pretty obvious.

    Qin Feng did not stop his pace. He chased after the herd of barbaric sandbulls with the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand as he went on a killing frenzy.

    The sandbulls were no match for Qin Feng, and one sh was enough to cut off their heads.

    Qin Feng chased after them for one kilometer,pletely driving them away.

    He did not bother to pursue too far. While he was returning, he saw that there were still more than twenty D-tier barbaric sandbulls alive, and more than thirty aptitude users ganged up with each other to fight against the bulls in an impressive manner.

    Qin Feng stopped walking and scanned through the crowd. Then, he casually walked across the battlefield.

    It was as if he was having a casual stroll along the streets, and not a battlefield.

    Soon, Qin Feng walked up to General Hu, themander-in-chief.

    As soon as General Hu saw Qin Feng, the expression on this face changed. He looked like he had yet recovered from the shock earlier.

    ¡°You must be Qin Feng! I¡¯m Hu Liang, a D5-tier ancient warrior, and I¡¯m currently themander-in-chief of the North Sea Desert war zone. You can just call me General Hu!¡±

    ¡°General Hu! Hi!¡±

    Qin Feng stretched out his hand and gave Hu Liang a handshake.

    ¡°Hello, I didn¡¯t expect that a general like you would visit Shadong Town, and I¡¯m really surprised. You wouldn¡¯t be a son of some secretly hidden family, would you? Being this powerful? I¡¯ve never heard of you, and if I didn¡¯t know, I would¡¯ve thought that you¡¯re from the Dragon Capital!¡±

    The Dragon Capital, which was now known as the Ancient Region of China, was a location with dense and rich heaven and earth energy.

    If an infant were given birth in the area, he would be influenced by the energy right after birth and would grow up to be someone of importance with outstanding power and strength.

    Every individual from the region had demon-like powers and strength.

    ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood me, General Hu! I¡¯m just the mayor of a small colony in the Three Cities along the Sun, many people know that.¡±

    Qin Feng rapidly rose to power, so it was natural that only a few people really knew about it.

    ¡°Hahaha! Misunderstanding or not, you¡¯re still so young. You must be God¡¯s favored one!¡±

    Qin Feng no longer wanted to continue with the topic. If he had not been persecuted and had his abilities destroyed before he was reborn, then he truly was God¡¯s favored one.

    Now, Qin Feng might be still young but he gained the advantage from his rebirth. His mentality was way more mature than the other people of his age, and he did not want to carry the title of ¡®God¡¯s Favoured One¡¯.

    ¡°General Hu, just now I seemed to have overheard you saying that you would want me to settle things here. Fortunately, I¡¯ve done a good job, right?¡± Qin Feng changed the topic.

    Hu Liang let out augh to hide his embarrassment.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll definitely get your fair share of rewards!¡±

    This was what Qin Feng wanted to hear.

    At this point, the two of them had chatted for almost half a day, only then did the battle on the other side reallye to an end.

 Chapter 328 - Retrieving the Crystal Cores

    <h4>Chapter 328: Retrieving the Crystal Cores</h4>

    Qin Feng looked at the other person who had just madements about him. He asked Hu Liang.

    ¡°May I know who this aptitude user is?¡±

    Hu Liang knew that the individual that Qin Feng was referring too had offended Qin Feng with his words. ¡°Mr Qin, don¡¯t take his words to heart. This is Colonel Yang, a D-tier ancient warrior and Hou Yangjiao¡¯s admirer. I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ve caused some serious harm to the big mistress of the Hou family by causing a bigmotion at the Wanzong Auction House yesterday,¡± Hu Liang said as he tried to appease Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was not surprised.

    Hou Yangjiao was quite strong. Although she was in her thirties, ancient warriors generally lived long lives and she had the entire Hou family behind her back. Moreover, she was proud and arrogant, so that could mean that Tieh Lei might be interested in her too.

    ¡°Looks like I¡¯ve offended quite a lot of peoplest night!¡±

    Qin Fengughed.

    ¡°Mr Qin, it¡¯s easy to dodge the spear in the open but hard to avoid a stab in the dark. So, don¡¯t act too impulsively. Oh right, you¡¯re still staying in a hotel now, I¡¯ll arrange an apartment for you since you¡¯ll have to live here for another three months, no?¡±

    ¡°Yes, thank you General Hu!¡±

    The battle was over and the people began to clean up the battlefield.

    Qin Feng still had more important things to deal with than messing with Colonel Yang, so he simply just left. He informed an F-tier logistician to convert the rewards into money and transfer it to his ount.

    By the time he left, the expressions on those exhausted D-tier aptitude users had turned pale.

    ¡°This Qin Feng dude is too powerful! He single-handedly yed the D-tier beast general.¡±

    ¡°No wonder he was able to defeat so many people yesterday!¡±

    ¡°I won¡¯t be surprised if it was because he absorbed the beast emperor crystal core and evolved into a general. What surprised me the most was... was how did he get so rich!¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t he just a mayor of a small colony? He just popped out of nowhere!¡±

    Qin Feng returned to Shadong Town. The current time had long passed the time he had agreed on with Lu Wanbao of the Wanzong Organization.

    However, Lu Wanbao had received news from Shadong Town again, and he even got to observe the frontlines and listen to live reports sent from the battlefield.

    ¡°It¡¯s better to not provoke Qin Feng!¡±

    As legends turned into reality, they figured that they really did have to pay more attention to him now.

    Soon, Lu Wanbao invited Qin Feng out for dinner at a high-ss restaurant.

    The interiors of the restaurant were splendidly covered in gold, and the dishes were all made from D-tier ultra beasts¡¯ meat, which tasted scrumptious.

    Bai Li only focused on dining, while Lu Wanbao and Qin Feng were exchanging goods.

    ¡°It¡¯s all here, please tally up!¡±

    Among the E and D-tier beast king energy crystals, there were both strong and weak ones. Since the beast king itself was a rare creature, he could not ask for crystals of the same tier.

    However, Lu Wanbao was an honest merchant and had picked the E1 and E9 tier, the total value of both was simr.

    Qin Feng nodded his head in satisfaction.

    ¡°Not bad.¡±

    Qin Feng raised his arm and took out the materials. Lu Wanbao¡¯s heart skipped a few beats after seeing so many gorgeous materials.

    At the same time, Lu Wanbao wondered why Qin Feng did not want to keep these materials to himself for making rune equipment, and why did he need so many energy crystal cores?

    He knew that everyone had their own secrets, so he did not ask questions.

    Both the guests and hosts were content with the meal.

    Beep beep beep!

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator rang. He received a message that Shadong Town had tallied up the results from the battle.

    In that single battle, Qin Feng had killed over three hundred E-tier ultra beasts, over one hundred D-tier ultra beasts plus one beast general.

    Nowadays, the materials of an ordinary E-tier ultra beast were worth more than thirty thousand, and the price of D-tier materials had reached one hundred thousand. As for the beast general material, that included the beast general crystal core which Qin Feng did not want, the price had reached thirteen million even after discount.

    In one easy shot, he had earned himself thirty million.

    The result of the battle shocked many people.

    After all, today¡¯s battle was aplete small-scale battle, and there was no telling how many times a day a battle like this would happen.

    They finally figured out where all of Qin Feng¡¯s wealth came from!

    In addition to these, Qin Feng had also obtained a luxurious apartment which had a sunroom located in a small town. Qin Feng took a turn with his car and drove along the direction as stated on the address.

    The hotel was quite good, but would it not be better to have the apartment?

    As soon as he entered the small town, Qin Feng felt the aura of several D-tier aptitude users. Not only that, Qin Feng recognized a few of their auras.

    Looking from the town¡¯s garden, Chen Xiang was surprised to see the new visitor.

    ¡°Mr Qin, I didn¡¯t expect you to be arranged to stay here as well!¡±

    ¡°Why¡¯re you calling me sir today, didn¡¯t you call me little brother yesterday? Anyways, I still have to thank you, Big Brother!¡± Qin Fend said as he extended his hand for a handshake. ¡°Let me formally introduce myself, I¡¯m Qin Feng, the mayor of a small colony near Chengyang Town. This is my girlfriend, Bai Li, who¡¯s also a D-tier aptitude user!¡±

    Chen Xiang gave Bai Li a quick nce andughed, ¡°Haha, okay, then I¡¯ll call you little bro from now on. I didn¡¯t expect both of you to be so strong and powerful!¡±

    ¡°Of course I¡¯m strong!¡± Bai Li replied proudly.

    Qin Feng could not stand Bai Li¡¯s cockiness and nudged her forehead. ¡°Be humble!¡±

    Bai Li knew nothing about modesty. With Chen Xiang¡¯s strength, Bai Li might kill him with a single w strike even though she had not advanced to D-tier.

    Both men exchanged theirmunicator numbers and sort of got to know each other!

    ¡°Brother Chen, I still have some things to do. If you¡¯ve any troubles in the future, you can look for me!¡±

    ¡°Sure thing, I¡¯ve found myself a powerful brother here!¡±

    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll go first then!¡±

    ¡°Alright, go on!¡±

    Qin Feng left with Bai Li, and Chen Xiang could no longer sit still at this point.

    In fact, there was something in his mind, but he did not know if he should tell Qin Feng. After all, it was not something he could decide on his own.

    ***

    Inside the new apartment, Qin Feng inspected every nook and cranny and found that everything in the unit was new and did not need to be reced. He was relieved that there was no surveince system, and he then brought Bai Li into the Battlegod Tomb.

    Inside the Battlegod Tomb, there was a sealed arena next to the cultivation area. The arena was huge, and now that Qin Feng and Bai Li were here, in front of them was a beast king crystal core.

    ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since we had a big meal!¡±

    Silver lights began to form around Bai Li¡¯s body. After the lights disappeared, she was lying on the ground with big wide eyes.

    A three-meter tall huge snow-white fox had appeared.

    It radiated a silvery glow around its body, and its eyes shone with a silver light that looked like stars in the night sky.

    Qin Feng opened the crystal box and showed the ball-sized beast king crystal core inside.

    Qin Feng tossed it at Bai Li, and the crystal core instantly fell into the fox¡¯s mouth.

    Crunch crunch.

    The crystal core was extremely tough and could not be destroyed with force, but Bai Li was able to chew it up like a casual snack.

    ¡°Gulp!¡±

    After swallowing the core, Bai Li licked the side of her mouth.

    ¡°Not bad, it tasted sweet and sour!¡±

    ¡°Stop teasing me with how crystal cores taste like!¡± Qin Feng eximed in frustration.

    ¡°Of course they have vor! You¡¯re just a human who can only absorb the core with your abilities, so you certainly wouldn¡¯t know, but I¡¯ve been eating these since I was a kid!¡±

    Bai Li lifted her chin. ¡°Give me that one!¡±

 Chapter 329 - The Sky Dweller

    <h4>Chapter 329: The Sky Dweller</h4>

    Qin Feng opened the crystal box and gave Bai Li another crystal core.

    One by one, the crystal cores went into Bai Li¡¯s stomach.

    In the blink of an eye, Bai Li¡¯s strength had soared from E5 to E9 tier!

    For a spatial beast like Bai Li, as long as she possessed the energy, she could grow quickly. Her spatial power could infinitely expand her body¡¯s ability so she could withstand the amount of energy, enabling her to advance quickly.

    To own such an ultra beast that possessed endless potential, one must be ready to make a terrifying investment!

    For Bai Li to advance from E-tier to D-tier, it would require at least fifty E-tier beast king crystal cores.

    Fortunately, Bai Li did not need beast king crystal cores, otherwise Qin Feng might have to wait a while before he could afford Bai Li¡¯s expenses.

    In the blink of an eye, Bai Li had eaten thirty E-tier energy crystal cores. Her tail emitted a silverish glow, almost forming into one beam.

    The glow was so dazzling that even Qin Feng could not open his eyes.

    When the light faded, Qin Feng tried to open his eyes again and found that Bai Li had grown quite a bit. Her body height had reached four meters tall, with proportionate body build, and her body was covered in thick fur that looked like a silver cloak. On her back, four agile tails wagged in excitement.

    The aura exuding from her body had finally reached beast emperor tier!

    Qin Feng took out ten beast king crystal cores.

    ¡°Here, I¡¯ll give these to you as well. Have a taste first, and tell me roughly how many beast king crystals you would need to get you to C-tier!¡±

    Bai Li lowered her head to indulge on the humongous beast king crystal cores. In just a matter of seconds, she had finished consuming everything.

    The ten beast king crystal cores helped Bai Li to advance twice, now reaching D2-tier.

    ¡°Let¡¯s have another forty cores!¡± Bai Li said.

    Qin Feng did a quick calction and found that he needed two hundred billion for the required crystal cores, and that amount of money gave him a headache.

    As expected, of all people, women and servants were the hardest to feed.

    The cost of raising his woman was way too expensive!

    However, Bai Li¡¯s role was not something that many people could live up to.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it just 40 beast king-tier ultra beasts? They¡¯re not easy to find back when I was E-tier, but since I¡¯m a D-tier now, it¡¯ll be way easier to hunt them!¡±

    For E-tiers, it was very difficult for ultra beasts to be a beast king, and there were many limitations to it.

    However, the resources avable for a D-tier were different, and the difference was major. The strong will continue to advance and be stronger, while the weak would be weaker.

    Bai Li, on the other hand, had another special trait that others did not have, and that was her spatial abilities.

    The world might be a big ce, but there was no ce that she could not reach.

    ¡°Let¡¯s take a break for today, tomorrow we¡¯ll continue and finish off the D-tier ability user task!¡±

    ¡°Okie dokie!¡±

    Bai Li did a twirl and transformed back into her human form, she then proceeded to walk out of the space with Qin Feng.

    Beep beep beep!

    Ear-piercing siren rms were sounded and heard.

    There was another wave of battle happening just outside of Shadong Town.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay, the ultra beasts that came this time are weak. They¡¯re only F-tiers, so we can rest for now!¡± Qin Feng took a brief look at hismunicator and figured there was no need for them to go out.

    ***

    The next day, at Shadong Town¡¯s Hover Gear sales office.

    ¡°Sir, this hover copter is from the Sky Dweller series. It¡¯s a special defense edition, zingly fast, and it can easily shake off even a C-tier aerial beast general. As you know, sir, the highest ultra beast tier in Shadong Town is D9-tier.¡±

    ¡°Not only is the defense strong, the offense system of this hover copter is equally strong as well, but all of them are energy-dposition-type attacks. By reducing the cannon sters, the overall size of the hover copter bes much smaller, which in a way also increases the space to amodate an even slightlyrger space rune equipment. Moreover, it is fully equipped with aprehensive radar monitoring system and autopilot system!¡±

    ¡°As for the interior, ites with aplete bathroom with aundry machine, a bed, and a simple living room. It¡¯s veryfortable inside.¡±

    ¡°Of course, its price is rtively high, and it costs 6 billion.¡±

    The staff stared at Qin Feng expectantly after he had finished the introduction.

    After all, most people in Shadong Town would only purchase a hover car, and only a few of them would actually buy abat hover copter here.

    More importantly, the D-tier aptitude users in Shadong Town would be specially provided with abat hover copter.

    Not only that, the hover copter was a tier higher than those provided, and its defensive power was almostparable to a C-tier protection rune equipment!

    It was not something that the average person could own.

    But Bai Li was very fond of its Sky Dweller name. Whenpared to other heavy, bulky hover copters, this was simply the beauty amongst them all.

    ¡°We¡¯ll have this one!¡± Qin Feng did not hesitate when making his final decision. For a person who still had beast emperor materials and forty billion in capital, thisbat hover copter was nothing much.

    ¡°Alright, this way to make the payment!¡±

    In just minutes, the entire transaction had been settled. Qin Feng boarded thebat hover copter and the salesperson opened the exhibition hall¡¯s skylight. Qin Feng sat in the cockpit, ready for take-off.

    Everything was in operation and things were going very smoothly.

    After all, Qin Feng had piloted a hover copter before.

    The hover copter flew up into the sky and passed by Shadong Town in a sh, living up to its expectation of being zingly fast.

    Other people onnd stared at the hover copter in awe.

    ¡°Am I seeing this right? Did I just see a Sky Dweller pass by?¡±

    ¡°Which big shot bought this hover copter?¡±

    The people who saw the hover copter were all stunned. After all, there was only one Sky Dweller in the entire Shadong Town.

    Six billion was not an amount which anyone could afford. It was the price of a D-tier beast king energy crystal core. Not only that, this hover copter was powered by a beast king crystal core as its power core.

    At this moment, Qin Feng flew the hover copter at extreme speed and circled over the Northern Desert with Bai Li.

    The map of their surroundings was quickly scanned.

    They had entered the yellow sands area where the ultra beasts flocked together, and there were also some spatial rifts.

    In the middle of the North Sea Desert, such rifts appeared very frequently.

    ¡°The spatial elements in this area are very unstable!¡± Bai Li suddenly spoke up.

    ¡°Yes, and I don¡¯t know why. It¡¯s not like they haven¡¯t thought about building a spatial stabilization device here before, but it was useless and they gradually gave up on the idea. After all, there¡¯s nothing here but yellow sand, and spatial stabilization devices are too rare!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a reason for these rifts. In human terms, you call it ¡®man-made¡¯.¡±

    Qin Feng was shocked. He frowned.

    ¡°So what you mean is there¡¯s someone who can open rifts?¡±

    Bai Li shrugged. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s not a human who did it, it could be an ultra beast from some othermand race. I can already smell the aura of the spatial runes!¡±

    Qin Feng did not expect such a harvest.

    Spatial beasts were too rare

    Although spatial rune was categorized as an element, it had never been grouped as one of the top ten elements.

    It was because this element had never been awakened in anyone, ever.

    Moreover, spatial runes were the root cause of the destruction of the end times.

    Because of the rift, the current end times came to be.

    ¡°I want to get closer and have a better look, I want to see what¡¯s there!¡±

    Qin Feng thennded the hover copter.

    In the desert, countless beasts were eyeing Qin Feng.

    As soon as Qin Feng stepped off the hover copter, a shadowy figure suddenly came up to him. The figure raised its earth-yellow sword covered in sand and stabbed at Qin Feng.

 Chapter 330 - Sand Lizardfolk

    <h4>Chapter 330: Sand Lizardfolk</h4>

    ¡°Hum!¡±

    The hover copter was instantly surrounded by an energy barrier that withstood the iing attack!

    Bai Li got down from the hover copter, she raised her hand and kept the hover copter that was worth six billion into her own massive space that was like an entirely separate world.

    The hover copter disappeared along with the barriers, while gravels from the surrounding had instantly turned into two razor-sharp swords and pierced toward Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    ¡°Phantom Motion Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s shadow disappeared instantly from his spot and pounced into the desert.

    He was already holding onto his Verdant Emperor Saber that was drawn out from the spatial rune equipment.

    Swoosh!

    The saber was instantly engulfed with Burning Sword re.

    Crash!

    A wall of sand was instantly formed out of nowhere and restricted Qin Feng¡¯s movements.

    sh!

    The wall was instantly destroyed by the exploding Burning Sword re casted from Qin Feng¡¯s overwhelming internal strength!

    Behind the wall, a human-like beast had half of his body on the ground, his body was densely filled with scales with his eyes wide open, while he was alerted by the formidable mes of the Verdant Emperor Saber that was drawn above his head.

    His scales were all severely scorched.

    ¡°Sand Lizardfolk!¡±

    Qin Feng had identified his opponent.

    ¡°Keke!¡±

    A hoarse hissing sound was heard from his mouth, and in the next moment, there were about five sand arrows drawn near Qin Feng.

    At the same moment, a sinking whirlpool was forming below Bai Li and she was instantly buried in it.

    ¡°B*stard!¡±

    Qin Feng let out an enraged roar as his internal strength gushed out from his body.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s exploding suction power had overpowered and controlled everything in the surroundings, sand and beasts alike were being swept up into the air.

    All five of the Sand Lizardfolk were exposed.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Blue-colored mes exploded from Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Blooming me!¡±

    Poof poof poof poof poof!

    Instantly, all five of the Sand Lizardfolk were crushed into pieces!

    ¡°Hiss!¡±

    The Sand Lizardfolk let out their miserable shrieks.

    Within seconds, all of them had turned into diced flesh that crumbled together with the yellow sand and were buried into the ground.

    Swoosh!

    Fifty meters away, a yellow burrow sank all of a sudden, Qin Feng immediately turned his head around and looked in that direction.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Qin Feng rushed forward, and a pit that was more than a meter in depth was left behind, however, conscious energy revealed that the ground within the pit had formed into solid soil!

    Every Sand Lizardfolk were earth ability users that were capable of the earth evasion ability, it was indeedmon for them!

    If it were not for Qin Feng that had reacted fast enough, the Sand Lizardfolk might have survived and escaped from Qin Feng¡¯s deadly attack.

    ¡°Bai Li, where are you?¡± Qin Feng asked with his conscious energy.

    Swoosh!

    Bai Li appeared out of nowhere and she was right before Qin Feng.

    ¡°I was buried under the desert, and I found a tunnel!¡± Bai Li was delighted when she spoke. ¡°There were a lot of nice-looking stones!¡±

    Bai Li raised her hand as a diamond that was refracting red light appeared within her palm.

    ¡°Fiery Diamond Core!¡±

    Qin Feng was able to identify the item instantly.

    Without any refining required, the magnificent features of the precious material were instantly revealed with its embedded fire runes that could be added into weapons, and it would have strengthening effects that would sharpen rune equipment and incorporate it with scorching attributes.

    A unique and valuable produce from the North Sea Desert.

    However, it was rather difficult to source for it.

    ¡°It should be the residing spot of the Sand Lizardfolk, let¡¯s take a look while weplete the mission, the other Sand Lizardfolk might have already been alerted by the others that have escaped earlier!¡±

    ¡°Hmm! Let me get you there!¡±

    Bai Li held onto Qin Feng¡¯s hand, and instantly, both of them vanished without a trace.

    Before Qin Feng could figure out the darkness that shrouded his vision, he had already arrived at a different location.

    Surprisingly, there was a man-made tunnel that was hidden under the desert.

    The tunnel was about two meters in height and three meters in width, within the restricted space, Qin Feng could easily bump his head if he were to jump about.

    However, it was the optimum height for the Sand Lizardfolk to fit in.

    After all, they crawled to move around!

    At that moment, both sides of the wall were embedded with Fiery Diamond Cores that were dazzling with red glow.

    ¡°Turn on the recordings, there are too few Sand Lizardfolk, and without the recordings, the number would not be enough with just a few random killings!¡±

    ¡°True, the Sand Lizardfolk that I have encountered earlier were about to bury me alive! Hence, I stabbed him to death!¡±

    Qin Feng. ¡°...quick!¡±

    Bai Li nodded and turned on the recording device, the image was clearly visible as it was being enhanced with red lights.

    Also, the infrared lights could also light up spots that were too dark.

    Sha sha sha!

    As if there were some creatures that were crawling in the dark, soon, Qin Feng was able to identify all of the Sand Lizardfolk with his vision.

    Qin Feng stood within the tunnel while being surrounded by crawling Sand Lizardfolk from the front and back.

    There were at least twenty of them there.

    ¡°Hiss!¡±

    A hissing sound was heard from the surroundings, and within the next moment, the Sand Lizardfolk was already rushing toward Qin Feng.

    They were all covered with extremely stiff grey scales that were simr to the color of stones.

    A few of them had even crawled up to the top of the tunnel and wanted to surround Qin Feng from all directions.

    ¡°Ten for each!¡± Qin Fengmanded.

    ¡°Great!¡± Bai Li raised her slim and fine fingers, and waved slightly.

    All of a sudden, a ray of white light appeared and expanded toward the surroundings.

    Swoosh!

    A giant opening was instantly formed at the top of the tunnel with two meters in height, while another deep ditch was also formed at the bottom.

    The white light ray that went through the centre of the tunnel swept across the body of a Sand Lizardfolk and sliced him into half.

    Qin Feng was not being left out too, he held onto his Verdant Emperor Saber and waved around at high speed.

    Swoosh!

    One sh would suffice to take down one Sand Lizardfolk and slice him into half.

    Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.

    Three Sand Lizardfolk were beheaded.

    ¡°Hiss!¡±

    An enraged roar was heard while a gigantic rock arm appeared from below and grabbed onto Qin Feng¡¯s leg to trap him at his spot.

    Qin Feng was instantly surrounded by rock fists.

    The Sand Lizardfolk were attacking him from multiple directions.

    Concurrent cooperation!

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was instantly surrounded by his overwhelming internal strength.

    Boom boom boom boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength experienced turbulence from the iing attacks, however, it did not shatter into pieces.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng pierced his Verdant Emperor Saber into the ground.

    The right hand was instantly crushed into pieces, from Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy, he could sense that the Sand Lizardfolk under him had died.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Qin Feng moved around swiftly and began his ughter of the Sand Lizardfolk, he was like a werewolf that had invaded a flock of sheep.

    The extremely stiff outer shell of the Sand Lizardfolk stood zero chance against the continuous attacks from the Verdant Emperor Saber, every outer shell was being destroyed like they were bean curds that were extremely fragile.

    All of the Sand Lizardfolk were annihted by the dazzling glint and sh of cold steel.

    In less than five minutes, Qin Feng and Bai Li had already taken down more than twenty Sand Lizardfolk!

    Boom!

    Qin Feng threaded heavily onto the skull of a Sand Lizardfolk and crushed it into pieces, then, an earth ability core that was about the size of a cobblestone was taken out from it.

    It was merely a beast soldier tier core, however, it could be worth about three million.

    ¡°For others, it would definitely be an unrewarding act to go up against the Sand Lizardfolk!¡±

    Qin Feng uttered and let out a sarcastic smile.

    Indeed, it was not an easy task to go up against the Sand Lizardfolk as they were all intelligent beast soldier tier creatures that knew how to escape whenever they faced any unfavourable situations.

    The one who was responsible for setting up such a mission for Qin Feng had definitely found a great way to take him out.

    However, it might not end the way it was nned out!

 Chapter 331 - Exposing an Under-the-Table Trade

    <h4>Chapter 331: Exposing an Under-the-Table Trade</h4>

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, this must be the ce where the Sand Lizardfolk live! Take some of them down toplete the mission!¡±

    As Qin Feng had already taken down twenty of them, and he was uncertain whether the others had already been alerted or not. As such, in order to prevent the others from escaping from his pursuit, Qin Feng began to set up dark runes in the surrounding area while both Bai Li and himself were shrouded within.

    With that, they would be temporarily hidden from the detection of the Sand Lizardfolk.

    Qin Feng extended his conscious energy and swept across the entire underground tunnel.

    Being beasts of the wisdom tribe, the Sand Lizardfolk had set up their underground living space to be spacious, there were a lot of secondary paths that were branching out from the main tunnel that was about three meters in width.

    Furthermore, the secondary paths were connected with rooms of different sizes, many misceneous items were being stored within those rooms, unsurprisingly, most of them were Fiery Diamond Cores that had been exploited from the underground.

    Those valuable items were everywhere.

    At that moment, it seemed that some of the Sand Lizardfolk were alerted by the noise from Qin Feng¡¯s battle and all of them began to rush out from the rooms.

    Qin Feng stood silently behind one of them and attacked with his punches.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    Overcast Dragon Kill exploded.

    Crack!

    Instantly, the Sand Lizardfolk fell onto the ground, his backbone waspletely shattered while every nerve connecting to his brain functions werepletely destroyed.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng halved out the skull of the Sand Lizardfolk and dug away the earth ability core.

    Some others were alerted by the dead body and rushed forward, and Bai Li had taken care of every one of them.

    ¡°I need fire!¡±

    Corpses of the Sand Lizardfolk were being instantly destroyed by mes to leave no traces behind.

    With the same skill, Qin Feng had taken down another five of them, and the oldir of the unmanned territory was being emptied out.

    As more corpses were being taken care of, it had ensured that there would be no traces of Bai Li and Qin Feng left behind, and as if they had disappearedpletely from the ce.

    It was at that moment, there was another Sand Lizardfolk lying on top of more than twenty corpses that were piled up earlier. She lifted her head up with an exotic fiery diamond core on the centre of her forehead, her neck and her arms were equipped with jewelleries made from fiery diamond cores, while the scales on her chest clearly indicated that she was a female.

    She was wearing a leather dress that seemed to be more human-like, while her waist was equipped with a silver whip that would put others in immense fear.

    Tribe leader of the Sand Lizardfolk.

    D3-tier beast king!

    She could also be addressed as the Sand Lizardfolk Queen!

    ¡°Hiss hiss hiss!¡±

    An ear-piercing sound from the Sand Lizardfolk Queen was heard by every single one of the Sand Lizardfolk in the surroundings, without any hesitation, and with immense reverence, every one of themy down on the ground and were highly alert.

    ¡°Humans!¡±

    ¡°Yes, leader!¡±

    ¡°Are they here for the person that came earlier? He should have died during that time!¡± The Sand Lizardfolk Queen spoke in a cold voice.

    One of the Sand Lizardfolk beast generals hesitated for a moment and gave the answer. ¡°No, he is not here yet.¡±

    It was at that moment, the shadow of a Sand Lizardfolk appeared among the walls and came out from it.

    ¡°Leader, the merchants have arrived!¡±

    ¡°If I were to find out that they are here because of them, I would spare no mercy to them!¡±

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen rushed toward a different direction beforepleting the sentence.

    There were more than thirty Sand Lizardfolk that came along with the Sand Lizardfolk Queen, with more than twenty of them following along, the remaining ten of them had to bury the dposed corpses and transfer them to the underground garden of the queen to be used as fertilizers.

    At that moment, Qin Feng had already circled around their of the Sand Lizardfolk, and with his sudden attack, he had already taken down a hundred Sand Lizardfolk within two hours.

    The number that Qin Feng had taken down was equivalent to one third or one fourth of the entire poption of the Sand Lizardfolk.

    ¡°Something exciting is going on in front!¡±

    Qin Feng targeted his conscious energy toward a direction.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng frowned as he was alerted by something.

    Surprisingly, he was able to sense the presence of human beings.

    Qin Feng grabbed onto Bai Li¡¯s waist and covered themselves with dark runes as they moved forward quickly.

    Despite moving at high speed, he remained undetected under the dark rune barrier.

    Soon, Qin Feng had arrived at a hall that was evenrger than the previous one.

    The surrounding space extended further and it was about four meters in height, there were more than fifty Sand Lizardfolk at one end, an E-tier aptitude user and eight F-tier aptitude users were at another end, and there were also five metal cages in the hall.

    There were about five female human beings that were trapped within the cages, surprisingly, one of them was an aptitude user that was being tied up.

    For sure, they were merely aptitude users with slightly stronger conscious energy and not enhanced with any runes or physical strength, they would most probably be gunners!

    ¡°Deng Gong, just kill me now, or else, if I were to get out, I will torture you in ways that you could never imagine!¡± The woman was enraged.

    She was referring to a man that had no emotions on his face, he was about thirty five years old, an E-tier ancient warrior that was holding onto a fiery diamond core that was given by the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.

    Although it might just be a small bag of it, however, it would most probably be worth up to hundreds of millions.

    However, Deng Gong only needed to spend about ten thousand to purchase the woman, and of course, some were even kidnapped by him, and no cost was incurred!

    ¡°Han Nuan, you have always been in the way, is it because you are a bounty hunter? Or are you here to take me down? With the support from the Sand Eagle n, do you really think that you can just simply take me down? Unfortunately, you have quite some conscious energy that has prohibited me from getting close to you, or else, I would have allowed every brother from the n to have a taste of you!¡±

    ¡°B*stard, Deng Gong, you b*stard devoid of conscience! Wait until I am out, I will definitely take your life!¡±

    ¡°Kekeke, stop dreaming, where do you think you can go? Why not just stay here andy eggs for the Sand Lizardfolk?¡±

    Qin Feng had witnessed the entire scene, Deng Gong who was beingcent, and also Han Nuan that felt the despair.

    ¡®Sand Eagle n?¡¯ Qin Feng instantly perked up.

    Could it be the dark organization that was roaming around the North Sea, and also known as Guo Geng¡¯s dark n?

    It was also the same person that had ties with the Z Organization.

    ¡°Hiss!¡± The Sand Lizardfolk Queen was annoyed by the quarrelling between the both of them and let out a deep growl, Deng Gong immediately turned his attention to her and tried to please the queen with a smile.

    ¡°Leader, they are all yours, with such a strong physical body, this woman would definitely be able to breed the next generation!¡±

    The numbers had been decreasing within the Sand Lizardfolk poption, however, with their powerful genes, they had opted for a clear-cut choice to breed their offspring by using females from other tribes.

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen despised the humans as they were merely food to be feasted on, however, there were no other wisdom tribes that were left on the earth!

    Therefore, human beings appeared to be the best choice for them to continue their breeding.

    Although their gic attributes might be reduced by human beings, however, growth in numbers was the only way for them to expand their territories, obtain more resources, empower the next generation, and repeat the cycle.

    ¡°Take her away!¡± The Sand Lizardfolk Queenmanded and immediately turned her head around. ¡°Who is it!¡±

    Sand Lizardfolk would release their voice purely from conscious energy that had a far reach, and it could also allow human beings to understand the message.

    Two shadows appeared from an exit of a tunnel.

    It was Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Qin Feng remained calm and was not fearful of being exposed, after all, he had chosen to show himself!

    ¡°Did I interrupt your dealings here?¡± Qin Feng let out a cold sneer.

    Everyone was shocked by their appearance.

 Chapter 332 - Underground Battle

    <h4>Chapter 332: Underground Battle</h4>

    Deng Gong had a shock and questioned with a stern voice, ¡°Who are you? How did you enter here?¡±

    Of course, Deng Gong did not want anyone else to spoil his dealings with the Sand Lizardfolk, especially when the stakes were high.

    ¡°Friend, leave immediately! Spread the news to Shadong Town and seek help from the D-tier elites, this is a female Sand Lizardfolk beast king, run for your life!¡± Suddenly, Han Nuan shouted and gave her warnings.

    Han Nuan was hoping that someone could save her; however, she knew that the Sand Lizardfolk Queen was too powerful.

    She had noticed the E-tier aptitude badges that were on Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s chests!

    At the same moment, Deng Gong felt relieved as soon as he noticed the badges on both of them.

    ¡°Leader, kill them immediately, so that they will be unable to return and alert the others!¡±

    At that moment, the queen had certainly sensed the bloody smell of Sand Lizardfolk from Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    ¡°It¡¯s you, you have killed my people!¡± The queen was furiously enraged.

    Half of her body was raised up as she extended her razor-sharp fangs from her mouth that was cracked open, extending to the back of her ears.

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    All of the thirty Sand Lizardfolk were infuriated and filled with the urge to kill!

    Piles of sand appeared in the air and formed into a gigantic wave, and Qin Feng was about to be buried in it.

    ¡°Fire Dragon!¡±

    Qin Feng had to stop the sand from closing in!

    The surroundings of the low-rise hall were engulfed in the gigantic growl of the fire dragon, and the intense me was strong enough to cast away the sand.

    Boom!

    The sand was instantly dispersed by the attack from Qin Feng and turned into dposed runes that scattered in the air.

    At the same moment, a Sand Lizardfolk was preparing to mount a sneak attack onto Qin Feng from the walls on his left side, while there was another one that had sneaked up and pounced toward him from above.

    Crack!

    The Sand Lizardfolk turned their sharpened ws into solid rocks as they pierced toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng exhaled his internal strength and formed a protection around him as he began to make sequenced and swift attacks.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng grabbed and dragged the body of the Sand Lizardfolk that was above him, and swung it toward the wall on his left side while the Verdant Emperor Saber on his hand expelled its Burning Sword re.

    Poof!

    Two down.

    ¡°Phantom Motion Steps!¡±

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng had appeared behind a Sand Lizardfolk andnded a horizontal stroke with his saber.

    ¡°Groo!¡±

    A skull was beheaded, and it was another death for the Sand Lizardfolk.

    Despite having the advantage of enhanced earth ability attacks, the Sand Lizardfolk were unable to cause any harm toward Qin Feng who was travelling at high speed.

    However, any Sand Lizardfolk that were being targeted by Qin Feng would certainly be dead.

    ¡°What?¡±

    Deng Gong turned pale with fear!

    The F-tier aptitude users that were with him were equally confused and shocked by the battle.

    ¡°Retreat immediately!¡±

    Deng Gong immediately made his move to escape and exited from the hall.

    On the other hand, Han Nuan was extremely delighted as she had never thought that Qin Feng and Bai Li were so powerful.

    ¡°It must be the aptitude elites that had just arrived at Shadong Town, it must be, there is still hope!¡±

    ¡°Kill him, you trash!¡± The Sand Lizardfolk Queen let out an enraged roar.

    ¡°Yes, leader!¡± The beast general instantly transformed its body and quickly erged into a huge ultra beast that was two meters in height.

    A lift of its hand instantly surrounded Qin Feng with yellow sand.

    ¡°Freeze!¡±

    The Sand Lizardfolk beast general let out a deafening roar as its conscious energy fluctuated, while the yellow sand turned into solid rocks and began to gush toward Qin Feng that was within.

    Despite being protected by the barrier of his internal strength, the pressure of the massive solid rocks could also tten and kill Qin Feng.

    It was a disadvantage to take on battle at such a location.

    The space was extremely limited and surrounded with earth runes that were highly in favor of the Sand Lizardfolks.

    Qin Feng had been taking down the Sand Lizardfolk one at a time with his saber, however, the tables had turned, and he had to take on a much stronger opponent!

    On the other hand, Bai Li blinked and disappeared from the tunnel, she had entered into the hall.

    Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

    Bai Li raised her hand and released all of the captured women from their cages.

    ¡°Leave!¡±

    Bai Limanded.

    Everyone of them had ovee their fear and started to run for their lives.

    Han Nuan was poisoned and her body was in an extremely weak state; Bai Li untangled her from the ropes and let her out.

    ¡°Mistress, can you provide me with a gun? I would need to protect those that have escaped!¡± Han Nuan requested.

    Bai Li took out a gun and passed it to Han Nuan.

    ¡°Thank you, Mistress!¡±

    Han Nuan clenched her teeth as she forcefully lifted herself with conscious energy and floated outside.

    ¡°B*stard! Stop them!¡± The Sand Lizardfolk Queen roared.

    Immediately, a troop of Sand Lizardfolk went ahead in pursuit.

    ¡°No one can harm those that I want to save!¡± Bai Li showcased her confidence valiantly; she lifted her hand and the surroundings were dazzling with light rays, and three Sand Lizardfolk were instantly torn apart.

    ¡°You are not a human being!¡±

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen instantly squinted her eyes.

    Fortunately, the message was not transmitted further by the conscious energy, and there were no other human beings left in the hall.

    ¡°How would that bother you, and for sure, I am also not the same tribe as you!¡± Bai Li let out a cold sneer and took a nce at the scales on the body of the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.

    It looked horrible, and it was as if Bai Li could hurt her eyes just by looking at it.

    ¡°Then you shall die!¡±

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen seemed to have noticed the displeasure from Bai Li¡¯s eyes, and she was infuriated by it.

    She stood up from the ground.

    As she had been lying prostrate on the ground, she had shorter but powerful legs that were curled up, while her abdomen was densely filled with scales, stretched and ttened onto the ground.

    However, the queen had now resized her waist and extended her legs to support her body, and was standing up.

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen had now taken the form of aplete female; however, her body was still densely covered by scales.

    ¡°You shall die now!¡±

    The queen took out the whip from her waist, and as a silver light shed through, the whip was swept toward Bai Li.

    Bai Li was immediately on high alert.

    ¡°This whip looks good!¡±

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen let out a cold sneer. ¡°Then you shall die to this!¡±

    Whip!

    The whip was aimed at Bai Li, the ray of silver light shed through and a pitch ck spatial rift had been cracked open.

    Such an attack from the rift would definitely destroy every defensive capabilities of its victim.

    Surprisingly, the whip was a spatial rune equipment.

    Bai Li sneered as the spatial rift that was formed around her began to heal by itself.

    As the surrounding runes intensified, Qin Feng was further pressured within his own internal strength.

    Qin Feng immediately pressed his left arm toward the rock and began to channel his explosive conscious energy.

    ¡°Lava Flow Style!¡±

    All of a sudden, fire runes began to encroach into the earth runes and instantly melted into dark redva.

    Boom!

    Lava began to gush out from Qin Feng¡¯s left arm and was sted out in a straight line for more than ten meters.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    The Sand Lizardfolk beast general was instantly tossed out and submerged into the meltedva.

    Qin Feng dashed away from the edged stone wall and began to ughter with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Swoosh!

    The beast general was struck with a hit of Burning Sword re on its body.

    Crack!

    The hit hadnded onto the body of the beast general that was covered with extremely solid scales, mes exploded from the Verdant Emperor Saber and sparked in all directions, without any doubt, the hit from the saber had overpowered the defences of its opponent.

    An arm waspletely cut off.

    Qin Feng pressed on with his attacks and followed up with another hit.

    Poof!

    A Sand Lizardfolk was beheaded and the skull rolled on the ground with scales that were still attached to it.

    The Sand Lizardfolk beast general had been in!

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen was infuriated andshed her whip toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Pfft!¡± All of a sudden, Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength was destroyed as a dark rift began to continue the strike. It was as if Qin Feng was about to be devoured by it.

 Chapter 333 - Spatial Whip

    <h4>Chapter 333: Spatial Whip</h4>

    Space runes.

    Qin Feng was equally surprised.

    A ck colored crack appeared in the air before it was sent flying toward him.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    ¡°Repulsion!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s hands frantically sprayed out internal force. The Asteroid Assimtion¡¯s internal force surged out and the huge wave of energy repelled the space runes.

    Whoosh whoosh!

    The crack that was headed toward Qin Feng closed up but there were two more cracks that shed at the wall behind him. They bore the marks that looked like they had just been gouged by those void shes!

    ¡°You¡¯re fighting me!¡±

    Bai Li roared, thinking that the Sand Lizardfolk Queen had just challenged her prestige as a beast emperor. Since they were being recorded, Bai Li did not dare use her spatial maniption, but by relying on only her physical strength and ws, she felt that she could kill the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.

    ¡°Now die!¡±

    Bai Li swung her hands forward and suddenly five pairs of white shes interlocked into arge-shape, flying toward the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.

    The ultra beast no longer bothered with pursuing Qin Feng, turning to deal with Bai Li.

    Qin Feng used this opportunity andnded on the sand lizardfolk general¡¯s head before ripping out its beast general crystal core.

    ¡°Aahh!¡±

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen cried out in pain. Bai Li¡¯s barrage of attacksnded some hits on her and caused a few deep gashes on her body.

    Qin Feng quickly dashed in for an attack.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    The Burning Sword re cut into the Sand Lizardfolk Queen¡¯s body, causing her to abruptly scream as the scales on her body were charred ck.

    ¡°You will die to me!!¡± She cried out in a fit of rage, violently stomping on the ground to cause the ground to shake and the entire hall to copse.

    Boom!

    Outside among the yellow sand, an area began to suddenly sink without warning and formed a huge sinkhole.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    A de tip rose up into the sky, bursting out from the huge sinking hole in the desert.

    Then, another hole appeared in the sands after an explosion. Qin Feng and Bai Li had just managed to dig their way out.

    Crash!

    More than one hundred meters away, a figure appeared on a hill. It was Deng Gong.

    ¡°Come out! Hurry!¡±

    At a distance of around fifty meters from him, Han Nuan had also appeared, along with the women who had been abducted or trafficked. All of them carefully moved out.

    ¡°Look! It¡¯s the person who¡¯se to save us!¡±

    ¡°They really came!¡±

    ¡®Everyone needs to stay together, that Sand Lizardfolk Queen definitely has more tricks up its sleeve!¡¯ Han Nuan thought anxiously.

    It was at this moment that something else burst out of the yellow sands, it was the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.

    ¡°You will all die, hahaha! Sandstorm!¡±

    A strong wind swept across the desert, forming into a huge vortex that surrounded Qin Feng and Bai Li as they came out of the pothole.

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen also had the earth ability, which was even more powerful. It was just that the spatial whip it had was too rare to not use, which was why she had been using it this whole time.

    Right now, the enraged Sand Lizardfolk Queen obviously wanted to use other methods to kill the two.

    A sandstorm began to kick up in the middle of the desert, forming a tornado that was more than twenty meters tall.

    Qin Feng could feel the wind¡¯s rotation as it scoured at his internal force, trying to rip him apart.

    Whoosh!

    Arge rock that was picked up by the wind spiralled toward him in a direct course for collision.

    Qin Feng swung the Verdant Emperor Saber and instantly shed at the rock.

    Ping!

    The rock exploded, turning into smaller rocks that rained down onto him as the sandstorm wrapped itself around his body.

    ¡°Stop this right now!¡± Bai Li was still in Qin Feng¡¯s arms, and let out a frustrated yell before raising her hands.

    In an instant, a pair of white w shes tore through the air. It was like a giant pair of hands that had burst out of the void, grabbing and tearing the sandstorm apart.

    Qin Feng felt the turbulence around himing to an abrupt end as the churning wind and spiraling sand was dispersed.

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen was taken aback for a minute or two, as if she could not believe what had just happened. Not even a powerful sandstorm could take care of these two.

    Qin Feng raised his weapon and shed down from top to bottom.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    A bright blue me burst out from the de.

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen¡¯s pupils shrunk and she raised her hand, causing a huge wall of earth to burst out over her.

    Boom!

    The zing Sky technique crashed into the wall¡¯s surface and shattered it with an explosion.

    It was then the Sand Lizardfolk Queen finally understood what fear was and quickly tore open a spatial passage with her whip.

    ¡°Running away? I didn¡¯t agree to that!¡± Bai Li mmed her palm downward and a giant white w shed down from the sky, cutting through the spatial passage in an instant.

    Pop!

    The spatial passage shattered instantly.

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen did not have time to enter either!

    Qin Feng was right behind her now, and when the spatial passage shattered, her body began to turn into sand, disintegrating into the desert.

    How could he let her escape?

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    Within one hundred meters, everything instantly turned into a huge magma pool.

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen had nowhere to escape!

    It really was an earth-shattering battle.

    Therge waves of sand, the twisting sandstorms, the ground turning into magma and the mes licking at the air were a shocking sight.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li had long left their original point as they chased after the Sand Lizardfolk Queen. This battle startled many ultra beasts who were minding their own business in the desert.

    It also naturally rmed Shadong Town.

    They had no idea what was going on.

    ¡°Chee! Chee!¡±

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen had been severely injured with wounds all over her body.

    Naturally she would start calling for help.

    Poof poof poof poof!

    A stream of sand lizardfolk burst out from seemingly nowhere, using their bodies to deter Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    That was a useless attempt, even theirbined power was no match for these two¡¯sbined strength.

    ¡°If you¡¯re going to die then get out of the way! I¡¯ve got no time to deal with you!¡± Qin Fengughed frostily, shing through a Lizardman¡¯s throat.

    Along the chase, over a hundred meters, over a hundred Lizardfolk had died.

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen was getting weak, her body unable to sustain her transformation and she had resorted to crawling on all fours. Her body was either scorched or injured by w marks.

    Swish!

    Another white w came out from thin air, Bai Li¡¯s feet were not even touching the ground and she still quickly moved forward. These ws were naturally her masterpiece.

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen felt as if she sensed something and immediately tried to dodge the attack. She only managed to dodge one w attack and could not react in time for the next one.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    The Sand Lizardfolk Queen screamed as her arm was cut off. Not only that, it was the arm that held the spatial whip.

    ¡°My whip!¡±

    She desperately tried to grab the whip with her other arm but by the time she reached out, it had alreadynded in someone else¡¯s hands.

    It was Bai Li.

    ¡°From now on, this whip is mine!¡± Bai Li inspected the whip for a moment before quickly swinging it.

    A silver glow of light followed the whip¡¯s afterimage and turned into a spatial crack in less than a millisecond that swept toward the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.

    She had wanted to escape but realized that there was no possible way to avoid it. She could not even properly detect those spatial runes with her consciousness!

    The space runes! There were too many of them!

    By then, Qin Feng had already caught up. His body twirled as he caught sight of the ultra beast, with a gust of sandy wind blowing behind him, and the Sand Lizardfolk Queen¡¯s body instantly copsed.

    Besides an intact head, the Sand Lizardfolk Queen had definitely been in!

 Chapter 334 - Summoning Gateway

    <h4>Chapter 334: Summoning Gateway</h4>

    ¡°Hreeek!¡±

    A piercing roar rang out.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were suddenly surrounded by hundreds of sand lizardfolk.

    They were all in a wild sprint toward the direction of where the Sand Lizardfolk Queen had fallen.

    Around two hundred or so of the sand lizardfolk were annihted under Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s rampage, now there looked to be about three hundred remaining. It was actually more Lizards than he originally imagined.

    ¡°Retract!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness shifted and the Sand Lizardfolk Queen¡¯s head exploded, only leaving behind a fist-sized energy crystal core that resembled a miniscule in his palm.

    The sand lizardfolk collectively became enraged at the sight.

    Not only did he kill their n leader, he had also taken away the sand lizardfolk¡¯s most important crystal core.

    Qin Feng¡¯s actions drove them over the edge!

    ¡°Sacrifice! Summon!¡±

    Among the sand lizardfolk, an elderly looking beast general abruptly spread out its consciousness.

    Qin Feng was not sure what was going on but there was a creeping sense of dread that began to slowly grasp at his heart.

    Bang!

    One sand lizardfolk abruptly and violently exploded into a shower of sandstone.

    Bang! Bang bang!

    One by one, more sand lizardfolk began to explode and the sandstone was swept up into the air, collecting into the shape of arge gateway.

    The sandstone gate was a hundred meters wide and fifty meters tall, an incredible size.

    A Summoning Gateway.

    The gate made out of the umted sandstone still had the background of the desert behind it, but in the blink of an eye its interior glowed with a silver light before the scenery framed by the gateway was painted pitch ck.

    The gateway, no a spatial rift had just been opened up!

    Every intelligent species, like human beings, had mastered the secrets of space time. Even then, the human beings¡¯ understanding of such secrets paled inparison to what the intelligent ultra beasts knew!

    At that time, humans did not know how to use other kinds of energy to break open spatial rifts. The most they were able toprehend was how to seal them using energy.

    Meanwhile, the sand lizardfolk had just used a suicide ritual to open thergest spatial rift he had ever seen since his rebirth.

    The thing looked like a damned runway to him! With how tall and wide it was, it might as well be enough for behemoths to step through!

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression paled at the thought!

    From the rift, an E-tier ultra beast crawled out. It was a desert lizard.

    Very quickly, it was joined by countless more desert lizards. As they exited the rift and stepped onto the sand, they made rustling noises as they moved.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Behind them was a D-tier crawling dragon!

    While that might have just been an ordinary ultra beast, it had a body length of twenty meters long. It definitely qualified as an ultra behemoth.

    It did not stop there, the rift was still spitting out ultra beasts.

    ¡°B*stards! Stop moving!¡± Qin Feng roared and unleashed a powerful attack.

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    The front of the rift turned into a huge pool of magma.

    Pop! Plop!

    ¡°Hroar!¡±

    ¡°Scree!¡±

    As soon as more ultra beasts stepped out of the rift, the ones that fell into theva began to scream.

    ¡°Cut the feed!¡± Qin Feng called out before turning off his video recording, Bai Li following suit soon after.

    His consciousness began to spread out.

    Papapapapapapa!

    Due to Qin Feng¡¯s battle, all of the nearby drones in the North Sea Desert were sent over to monitor the situation. It was not clear to him just how many people would see the image.

    In the headquarters in Shadong Town, the video feeds all turned into static.

    The already grumpy Hu Liang let out a frustrated grunt.

    ¡°What the hell is going on over there?!¡± He let out a roar.

    The people nearby scattered like startled hens at his outburst, unwilling to make a sound except for Hu Liang¡¯s deputy, who quickly wiped sweat off his brow and said, ¡°General Hu, Mr. Qin must have destroyed the drones so we can¡¯t monitor him!¡±

    ¡°Monitor? What do you mean monitor? What, you didn¡¯t see the giant f*cking space hole that just ripped open in the middle of the desert? You didn¡¯t hear the rm? What if some kind of an overpowered ultra beast crawls out of there? What are you waiting for? Shadong Town to copse?¡±

    The deputy continued to wipe away the cold sweat that was dripping from his face.

    ¡°Then... should we send more drones, General Hu?¡±

    The drones were no more than just half a meter long machines and there were at least a thousand of them in the desert.

    ¡°No point. The situation is critical. Get all the D-tiers you can and tell them to go check out the area!¡±

    ¡°But... but... that¡¯s sand lizardfolk territory!¡±

    ¡°Did you get dropped on your head or were you born dumb? What lizardfolk? Their n leader just died! Now get me abat hover copter, I¡¯m going too!¡±

    ¡°Yes, General!¡±

    Hu Liang gathered four to five D-tier aptitude users and rushed off to the wilds of the North Sea Desert!

    At this time, thend of the sand lizardfolk had been turned into a sea of magma. In the magma were all bones, crystal cores, ultra beast skin and ws.

    There was nothing alive!

    ¡°Bai Li! Seal the rift! Quickly!¡± Qin Feng eximed.

    Bai Li nodded, activating her power, and a silver glow began to envelop the front of the gigantic rift.

    In an instant, the ck rift turned into a brilliant silver.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    From the giant rift, a massive ultra beast pushed out arge hand.

    Boom!

    This hand was covered in scales and if Qin Feng had to guess, it was probably the hand of a tarrasque.

    It had giant ws, a full two meters in length and each nail like giant hooks. Under the scorching sun, they reflected a chilling glint. There was no way of judging just how many creatures had been in by those very ws.

    Pop!

    The silver light was punctured and a ck crack began to appear over it.

    Bai Li was furious.

    Crack!

    The silver light glowed, immediately surrounding the crack as well as the arm of that C-tier ultra beast.

    ¡°Shut!¡±

    Crash!

    There was a crisp sound, like a mirror emitting silver light being shattered before turning into flecks of glowing energy that began to dissipate.

    Looking at where the huge gateway was, there would be nothing by the desert scenery and the boundless dimming sky.

    No rift. No space runes either!

    Boom!

    The giant hand fell into the magma, making quite the ssh as the flesh was cooked and blood was boiled in the blink of an eye before turning into grey ash. Only the nails and scales were left behind.

    ¡°Hoo!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s forehead was drenched in sweat.

    Having to maintain such a huge range of Hell Magma also consumed arge amount of his consciousness.

    Finally. It was all over!

    ¡°Rise!¡±

    Qin Feng manipted his consciousness and the materials in the magma floated up and began to stack up beside him.

    Bai Li waved her hand at the pile and swept them away.

    ¡°Store!¡±

    The fiery element of Hell Magma was recovered one after another in the blink of an eye.

    ¡°Bzzzz!¡±

    From across the horizon, severalbat hover copters suddenly came into view.

    Qin Feng raised his head and looked up, thinking for a moment before realizing they were probably from Shadong Town!

    Just as he expected, thebat hover copters began to descend.

    The first person he saw was Hu Liang.

    From what Hu Liang saw when in the air, there was a huge sandstone gateway towering over the desert. There were hundreds of meters of ck-colored lime* on the ground but no sign of any ultra beasts.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Wasn¡¯t there a rift before? Where did the rift go?¡± Hu Liang demanded.

    Trantor¡¯s Notes: Lime as in limestone.

 Chapter 335 - Risking Life for Some Riches

    <h4>Chapter 335: Risking Life for Some Riches</h4>

    Qin Feng naturally would not have answered, as the rift was handled by spatial beast emperor Bai Li.

    ¡°The sand lizardfolk are only D-tier, they sacrificed themselves to try and summon such a massive spatial rift but it was unstable so it copsed on itself!¡± He decided to tantly lie.

    Hu Liang was not entirely convinced. ¡°What about the ultra beasts then?¡±

    Qin Feng replied in a calm manner, ¡°The ultra beasts were only E-tier beasts. Don¡¯t you think I¡¯d be strong enough to handle those kinds of creatures? Everything you see on the ground here was caused by my Magma technique!¡±

    ¡°That does make sense!¡± Hu Liang still had his doubts as he did not know what urred, but the results were clear to him. Regardless of Qin Feng¡¯s methods, in the end, the appearance of the giant spatial rift did not cause any massive changes to the North Sea Desert.

    ¡°General Hu, there was just a battle here and a beast king was just in. Its aura had spread out to make this into a beast king¡¯s battleground which is why no other ultra beasts have appeared yet. If we keep staying here though, we might find out who¡¯s the new owner of this territory!¡±

    Hu Liang¡¯s face fell, ¡°I understand, but Mr. Qin you¡¯ve done a great job today. You took out a beast king and wiped out an entire tribe. We will give you the rewards you deserve!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, then said, ¡°In that direction you¡¯ll find the few people I rescued from the sand lizardfolk¡¯s underground tunnels, now that you¡¯re here they can be brought back!¡±

    Hu Liang did not know what happened, but he nodded before ordering for abat hover copter to find the people that Bai Li rescued.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, are you still going to stay here? It¡¯ll be getting dark soon!¡± Hu Liang asked.

    ¡°I still have some things I want to do. Take care, General. I¡¯ll head back after a while!¡± Qin Feng raised a hand to his head in a respectful salute.

    Hu Liang thought about it for a moment and realized what Qin Feng was going to do! The Sand Lizardfolk Queen had been in but there were still the sand lizardfolk¡¯s warrens below!

    The sand lizardfolk hoarded fire diamonds which were highly valuable.

    It was a shame that all of those had be Qin Feng¡¯s possessions. Whoever tried to take a piece of it would havee out with a few more pieces of themselves missing.

    While it was not exactly clear how the rift disappeared, it was clear that Qin Feng killed the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.

    Someone who could take on a king was naturally around the same level themselves.

    The D-tiers near the hover copters stared at him with a mixture of awe and envy.

    ¡°Looks like the beast emperor crystal core wasn¡¯t bought in vain. Turns out someone so young has a king¡¯s level of power!¡¯

    ¡°Of course it wasn¡¯t in vain! He bought it for 100 billion!¡±

    ¡°Earning 10 billion per year would still have to take ten years worth of time. Ten yearster, the kid¡¯s probably going to be C tier!¡±

    ¡°Right now this Qin Feng¡¯s probably going to rob the sand lizardfolk¡¯s warrens!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, even then we still can¡¯t go. The guy fought hard to get it so don¡¯t provoke him. These rewards are befitting of someone who can rival a king in terms of power!¡±

    ¡°These aren¡¯t just any kind of benefits!¡±

    ¡°How much benefit is worth risking your life for?¡±

    The others were talking amongst themselves by now and it was clear that Qin Feng, without a doubt, had be the subject of their envy and admiration.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng and Bai Li had gone off into the entrance where Deng Gong had escaped from before. When he spread out his consciousness, he sensed that the underground passageways spread out in all directions.

    He grabbed Bai Li by the hand and went down a path. The corner of his mouth twitched with dissatisfaction.

    After a while, he saw a figure in the tunnel he went down.

    It turned out to be Deng Gong.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Deng Gong let out a startled yelp when he saw Qin Feng and Bai Li. The next thing he did was turn tail and run.

    ¡°Hmph.¡±

    With an indifferent huff, his internal force was unleashed and had wrapped itself around Deng Gong¡¯s body.

    Thud!

    Deng Gong dropped to the ground, unable to move from the pressure. He could not even raise his head and could onlyy sprawled out on the ground.

    ¡°You really n on throwing your life away for some cash, huh?¡± Qin Feng said coldly.

    Deng Gong was panicking and shakened to the core, ¡°Sir. Sir, I was wrong, I shouldn¡¯t havee here. Sir, all of the sand lizardfolk¡¯s treasures are yours!¡±

    ¡°Aren¡¯t they all supposed to belong to me in the first ce?¡±

    Deng Gong¡¯s forehead was drenched in sweat.

    Qin Feng asked in a low voice, ¡°Deng Gong. Does the Desert Eagle Organization know about your deal?¡±

    Deng Gong could only slightly nod his head, ¡°Yea. Yes!¡±

    ¡°So Guo Geng also knew?¡±

    ¡°Sir, if the Boss wasn¡¯t involved, how would I have been able to contact the sand lizardfolk?¡±

    Deng Gong was only E-tier and was about as strong as a juvenile sand lizardfolk. If all of this was on Deng Gong then it would probably have been impossible.

    ¡°Then I have onest question for you. Where is Guo Geng now?¡±

    Deng Gong quickly answered, ¡°Sir... the Boss... No, no, Guo Geng should be in Wangbei Town by now, a small town near Qihan City. But... but he always changes ces. I¡¯m always talking to him viamunicator, if you want to find him then I can call him right now!¡±

    Crack!

    Qin Feng stepped on the other¡¯s wrist, instantly shattering themunicator along with Deng Gong¡¯s wrist.

    ¡°Aaah!¡± Deng Gong let out a pained scream.

    ¡°No need. If I want to find him, then I¡¯ll find him myself. No matter where, I¡¯ll find him!¡±

    Qin Feng raised a fist, and began to send outrge quantities of internal force from it before bringing it down on Deng Gong¡¯s body.

    The Asteroid Assimtion was activated,pletely absorbing all of the internal strength inside Deng Gong¡¯s dantian!

    There was fear in his eyes as he felt his internal force get abruptly drained from his body. He could not even say a word.

    Qin Feng flicked his wrist and the Verdant Emperor Saber was wreathed in mes before it sliced toward Deng Gong¡¯s neck

    Without internal strength and being restrained by Qin Feng¡¯s aura, Deng Gong could only stare at his iing death, unable to avoid it, unable to look away! The man died while his eyes were open!

    As the head was lopped off, it was ced inside Qin Feng¡¯s spatial rune equipment. With another flick of his wrist, Deng Gong¡¯s body was instantly turned to ash with a burst of hellfire.

    As the mes burned the body away, some rune equipment was also exposed.

    Qin Feng picked up a silver ring studded with gemstones and scanned it with his consciousness. He then discovered that there was a box of fire diamonds inside.

    The treasure of the sand lizardfolk was indeed here!

    ¡°Alright!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Did he take anything good? We haven¡¯t even packed the treasure yet, and I want that tiara that the Sand Lizardfolk Queen was wearing. It¡¯s so pretty!¡± Bai Li said.

    Qin Feng¡¯s lips twitched into a smile. ¡°That has the best fire diamond out of all of them, it can even be used in the ce of an ultra beast crystal core for rune equipment, but if you like it, then you can use it as jewelry!¡±

    ¡°That sounds good. I¡¯ll have to thank you then, hubby!¡± Bai Li said yfully as she held Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Hey, you¡¯re the one who¡¯s the hero this time. Why are you thanking me? I should be thanking you!¡±

    ¡®Thanking you for fighting side by side with me, running all over the ce on this road of rebirth. I no longer feel alone, on the contrary, it has been quite fun.¡¯

    ***

    The Cloud Nine was extremely fast. Although Qin Feng went down the underground passage of the sand lizardfolk before leaving, he arrived well before Hu Liang and the others did when he headed back to Shadong Town.

    As soon as the Cloud Nine arrived, it was discovered by many people.

    Qin Feng had chosen tond on the roof of the aptitude user¡¯s hall, after all, the ce was close enough!

    After putting away the Cloud Nine, Qin Feng entered the hall.

    He then reached the reception area on the second floor and sent the video via hismunicator.

    ¡°Certify this information!¡±

 Chapter 336 - D Tier Badge

    <h4>Chapter 336: D Tier Badge</h4>

    The person behind the counter was the same person that tended to Qin Feng earlier. He obviously knew what task Qin Feng had taken.

    Shadong Town was close to the frontline, even a little bit of trouble would have been a crisis that could lead to city-wide devastation.

    That meant that the news here was almost transparent and avable for all.

    ¡°Yes Sir, I¡¯ll handle this right away! Right away!¡± The person, breaking into cold sweat, reviewed the video that Qin Feng submitted.

    The feed was rolling quickly on the screen, the system automatically tallying up the number of creatures as a red box appeared to indicate how many ultra beasts Qin Feng had killed.

    281!

    That was the final number disyed.

    Qin Feng not onlypleted the D-tier mission but he had killed more than a hundred sand lizardfolk.

    Since when was it so easy to deal with sand lizardfolk? They were D-tier intelligent ultra beasts, and there were not that many D-tiers in Shadong Town!

    Being the person in charge of the review, in addition to a mechanical review, he could also flip through the video himself for a manual review of authenticity. He pulled out three clips from the video to look over before selecting a random one among the three to watch it.

    What he saw was Qin Feng sweeping his sword in a horizontal strike, and the sand lizardfolk not reacting as their heads were shrouded in fire and cut off.

    It was too fast!

    The image had to be slowed down several times over before it could be properly seen by the attendant.

    At this moment, the attendant was so scared that color had drained from his face.

    Knock knock!

    Qin Feng rapped his knuckle against the counter. ¡°Are you done?¡±

    The person quivered at the sound of the knocks before quickly pressing the ¡®Complete¡¯ button.

    The system began to automatically sound out.

    [ Beep beep. Certification passed. Congrattions, you have obtained the D-tier aptitude assessment, and have grown stronger! ]

    A badge was reverently and respectfully handed to Qin Feng...

    ¡°Sir! This is your badge!¡±

    By a pair of shaking hands.

    Qin Feng took the badge and reced his E-tier badge.

    Bai Li was next, passing on her video and had a number of kills that was also above two hundred and sessfully passing her certification.

    Both of them were officially certified as D-Tier aptitude users.

    ¡°Oh yeah, I want to ask you something!¡± Qin Feng said casually. ¡°Who was the one who set this mission?¡±

    The attendant was sweating buckets by now.

    Qin Feng just looked at the person, no longer pressing on with the issue.

    But that attendant was too nervous. He envisioned Qin Feng bringing out the Verdant Emperor Saber and cutting his head off.

    ¡°Its Lei! Lei Chang!¡± The attendant said.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°You can go back to work, I won¡¯t bother you anymore!¡±

    ¡°No, no bother at all! I¡¯m not bothered!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back!¡± Qin Feng smiled at Bai Li as he grabbed her hand, not giving the attendant any more attention as they left.

    Once Qin Feng and Bai Li were out of sight, the attendant slumped to the ground. He did not want to stay in Shadong Town for long, deciding to up and leave in case Qin Feng came back to find him or that he got into trouble with Lei Chang.

    This was a thankless job and neither side could be considered human.

    The Silver Bolt took Qin Feng and Bai Li back to the hotel that Hu Liang arranged for them, where they began to divy up the day¡¯s harvest.

    Five boxes of fire diamonds, with one box worth up to seven hundred to eight hundred million, a total of forty billion in loot, even more than the Sand Lizardfolk Queen¡¯s crystal core on its own.

    The wealth of the sand lizardfolk was not the wealth of an individual!

    There were also spirit herbs that grew underground, which had been plucked by Deng Gong from the Sand Lizardfolk Queen¡¯s garden.

    Qin Feng enjoyed a haul of spirit herbs that were worth about ten billion in total.

    He was not going to sell them, but instead nt them in the Battlegod Tomb since the environment there was just right.

    Bai Li took a few high quality fire diamonds and used the Magical Tesseract to make them into a bunch of nes and bracelets.

    Qin Feng picked up a fire diamond, holding it in the center of his palm.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    Boom!

    He suddenly felt a scorching heat pass through him, as if he was directly facing the sun¡¯s intense heat.

    From within the fire diamond, fire runes came pouring out one after the other and dug into Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness.

    The Hell Stone then changed the fire runes before they were integrated into the Diamond Starglobe.

    As his level increased, the amount of fire runes needed for him to learn new abilities had increased as well and he did not have enough of them until the fire diamond solved the urgent issue.

    Wordlessly passing through the night, Qin Feng spent his time meditating.

    The next morning, there was another wave of ultra beasts rushing toward Shadong Town. He and Bai Li did not dy, rushing to the frontline as fast as they could.

    This time, there was an endless wave of bugs. They were abined mass of constantly shifting darkness.

    ¡°Gunners, cover fire! Throw bombs into the air, quick!¡±

    Hu Liangmanded in a voice that sounded more like a roar.

    On the battlefield, there were sounds of gunfire finding their marks as the horde shed into the defensive line made out of ancient warriors. Even with their defense, their line could be broken through at any moment.

    They were fighting against an unprecedented crisis.

    ¡°Tectonic Split!¡±

    An Earth ability user mmed his palms into the ground, causing the earth to rumble violently before a giant crack around ten meters was formed.

    It was to give the people on the frontline a ce to entrench themselves, but before anything could be done the trench was overwhelmed by countless insectoids in mere moments!

    ¡°Fuse!¡±

    Unexpectedly, the ability user once again activated his power, closing the trench and crushing the insectoids within!

    ¡°Huu...huu...¡± Chen Xiang was breathing hard, he was the only ability user at the moment.

    The other D-tier aptitude users were trying their best, frantically fighting against the tide to prevent the ultra beasts from reaching Shadong Town.

    ¡°No!¡±

    An E-tier aptitude user cried out as a huge beetle more than two meters long broke through the line, tearing right through the person.

    ¡°Beast general! Golden scarab beast general!¡±

    Everyone was suddenly afraid, and in that slightpse, the line was broken.

    At that moment, a blue light burst out of nowhere, like a huge peacock spreading its feathers.

    Boom!

    The beast general was sent flying.

    Then, a figure stood where the now dead E-tier aptitude user was and continued the fight.

    The people around looked at the figure and suddenly a wave of confidence flowed through their hearts. Not for anything else, but they could all see the D tier aptitude user badge on the new person¡¯s chest.

    It was Qin Feng!

    Qin Feng waved his Verdant Emperor Saber left and right, shing through scores of insectoids like they were made out of wet paper.

    The amount that he killed was just terrifying.

    ¡®No wonder Shadong Town was wiped out in a month¡¯s time!¡¯

    ¡®I don¡¯t know if what Bai Li said was right or not, maybe the rifts in the North Sea Desert were opened by the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.¡¯

    ¡®If so, now that the Sand Lizardfolk Queen¡¯s already dead, disasters would happen again!¡¯

    Qin Feng moved with the knowledge of someone from the future. Although he was not clear on the exact situation in Shadong Town before his rebirth, he does remember that when he went to Shadong Town, the situation was not here but in fact closer to the Four Cities!

    So that could only mean that Shadong Town had to move again.

    On the battle it was stated that Shadong Town¡¯s entire army was wiped out. The date was March of this year, which would be one month from now.

 Chapter 337 - The Mouthpiece of the Freemen Alliance

    <h4>Chapter 337: The Mouthpiece of the Freemen Alliance</h4>

    If he remembered it correctly, the battle did not exactly have a definitive ount of the destruction of Shadong Town.

    Maybe it was because of curiosity or wanting recognition for his own strength, Qin Feng decided to investigate it this time around.

    What was more, with Bai Li, if he wanted to escape, he could escape whenever he wanted to!

    As he thought about it, his hands did not stop moving. Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber swung and swung again, killing everything in all directions.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    The Sword re spread out, reaching out to a full ten meters and instantly cleared Qin Feng¡¯s surroundings.

    He broke through the swarm, sweeping through the field and left corpses in his wake.

    Easily overpowering everything that came at him like they were nothing but dried sticks and dead leaves, he made sure that every single insectoid that came within range did not make it out alive.

    ¡°Quickly! Secure the battle line!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯ll be fine if there¡¯s a D-tier aptitude user here! We need to move to the other side!¡±

    ¡°Help that side!¡±

    The situation of the battle was gradually changing.

    The originally copsing frontline was being restored by Qin Feng¡¯s arrival, wherever he went he did not need any assistance from other aptitude users.

    With him basically killing everything around him, that brought some relief to some people so that they could help out others. Gradually, the encirclement got bigger and bigger and the insectoids also had a drastic decrease in their numbers.

    Even so, the battlested for a full eight hours and the battlefield was left with bloody wounds, shattered limbs and brooding moods.

    ¡°Hoo!¡±

    Qin Feng retracted the Verdant Emperor Saber and turned back. At this time, many D-tiers had retreated, being exhausted.

    ¡°Sir Qin Feng, thank you for your hard work. This way please, we¡¯ve already prepared a special car to send you back.¡±

    ¡°Okay, thank you!¡±

    ¡°No, you¡¯re the one we should be thanking, Sir Qin Feng. You saved many aptitude users today and killed so many insectoids! Of course, Ms Bai Li too!¡±

    Bai Li scoffed flippantly, ¡°They¡¯re just a bunch of bugs, too weak!¡±

    Qin Feng covered her mouth with a hand before she could continue. ¡°Shhhhh!¡±

    She decided to shut up after that.

    In the next moment, Qin Feng was stopped by a voice.

    ¡°Old pal Qin, let¡¯s go together?¡±

    It was Chen Xiang.

    ¡°Sure!¡± Qin Feng gave him a small smile.

    Chen Xiang nced at the D-tier aptitude user badges clipped onto Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s chests. Even though they had just received the news yesterday, seeing it in person was a shocking sight for him.

    ¡°Look at the mess we are in right now. Why don¡¯t we go to the hot springs, it¡¯s a treat that only aptitude users get to enjoy!¡±

    Shadong Town was built in a desert and near the frontlines, which meant that water was scarce, the very concept of a hot spring here would have been ludicrous.

    ¡°Sounds good, I could use some rxing!¡± Qin Feng said.

    While he said he wanted to rx, it seemed like what Chen Xiang meant by this invitation was that he had some things he wanted to say.

    Qin Feng did not reject the idea, getting in the car that would take him to the bathhouse.

    During the end times, being someone strong brought real enjoyment. It brought about a life of indulgence in luxury that the poor would never be able to see.

    Separate bathtubs were prepared with warm water being injected into them through the use of pipes that provided a kind of water based massage that would relieve the body of its stress.

    Chen Xiang¡¯s face grew serious and did not have the casual tone that he used before.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯ve been in Shadong Town for three days, what are your thoughts on the front line?¡± he asked.

    ¡°Intensivebat with danger around every corner!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    Chen Xiangughed bitterly, ¡°Out of all the D-tier aptitude users that came to Shadong Town, you¡¯re the only one who has it the easiest!¡±

    Qin Feng mentioned that there were dangers, but obviously he did not hold the dangers with very high regard.

    ¡°In Shadong Town, because of its mobility, the number of D-tier aptitude users are fixed at about a hundred people. Otherwise the frontline would have copsed!¡± Chen Xiang said, ¡°There¡¯s an endless amount of ultra beasts here, a constant stream of missions with E-tier and F-tier aptitude users constantly being transferred from the Four Cities of the North Sea, and not all of them make it back!¡±

    Afterall, too many people died in the frontlines.

    ¡°If this goes on, Shadong Town is going to drag down the Four Cities sooner orter, and even if we don¡¯t copse today, we¡¯re going to fall sooner orter!¡±

    ¡°Well, sounds like it can¡¯t be helped,¡± Qin Feng said off-handedly.

    ¡°No, there¡¯s actually a way!¡± Chen Xiang said abruptly.

    Qin Feng raised his brow, knowing that Chen Xiang looked for him for a reason, which was why he followed him.

    ¡°In the North Sea Desert, golden sand worms have thergest number, they multiply fast and are constantly absorbing energy from thend. They can turn the dirt into sand, it can be said that these golden sand worms are the culprits behind the desertification of the North Sea Desert,¡± Chen Xiang exined.

    ¡°So what you¡¯re saying is, we need to exterminate them?¡±

    The golden sand worms were not like the sand lizardfolk who had four to five hundred in numbers. These were insectoids, which meant that their numbers were in the hundreds of thousands.

    Qin Feng pulled out hismunicator and looked at the situation regarding the ultra beasts around Shadong Town and the number of golden sand worms was instantly disyed.

    ¡°There¡¯s two hundred thousand golden sand worms?¡±

    That number was terrifying!

    With such arge number, if the sand worms were to attack in arge wave, it was not just Shadong Town, the Four Cities on the North Sea would also get buried!

    Of course, the insectoids had their own territory and their migration was very slow.

    It seemed that Shadong Town¡¯s crisis was still quite severe!

    ¡°Yes, this is exactly what¡¯s frustrating us!¡± Chen Xiang huffed.

    This is a situation simr to the feeling of resting your head under a guillotine with a very weak rope!

    ¡°You just came to Shadong Town, so I don¡¯t expect you to know the situation. Hu Liang is themander of Shadong Town designated by the Human Alliance, and he actively fights the ultra beasts and insectoids all the time, but in truth he does very little!¡±

    Qin Feng did not speak, he still had a good impression of Hu Liang.

    ¡°People from the aristocratic families and therge groups hardly ever listen to him! He doesn¡¯t have a lot of use really!¡±

    Understandable reasoning.

    ¡°In order to maintain the social climate of Shadong Town, many aptitude users thate here have formed their own cliques so they can help one another. I¡¯m from one such circle, it¡¯s called the Freemen Alliance. Our current ringleader is called Yan Fang! A D8 ancient warrior!¡±

    That made Qin Feng frown. Yan Fang? He knows that person from the world before his rebirth, he was an A-tier aptitude user.

    That meant that their position was not in the Human Alliance, but the Dark Coalition!

    Qin Feng quickly regainedposure, not wanting Chen Xiang to think that something was wrong.

    Chen Xiang continued, ¡°A while ago, Yang Fang said that he wanted to gather enough manpower to exterminate the golden sand worms, but everyone was hesitant at that time. After all, everyone was too weak! However, yesterday I saw the video that came from the frontline and realized that this isn¡¯t an impossible task!¡±

    He looked directly at Qin Feng, speaking with an excited tone. ¡°Qin Feng, after you have absorbed that beast emperor crystal core, aren¡¯t you at the king level? I mean, how else would you have faced the Sand Lizardfolk Queen in a one-on-one battle, and kill her even!¡±

    Qin Feng naturally would not have told Chen Xiang the truth, his consciousness, his current power level had reached the point of the emperor level.

    ¡°I wasn¡¯t fighting alone yesterday, I had Bai Li at my side!¡±

    ¡°Huh! You¡¯re a real formidable pair!¡±

 Chapter 338 - The Clean-up Plan

    <h4>Chapter 338: The Clean-up n</h4>

    Bai Li¡¯s attacks were quite scary and vicious, and Bai Li always had a cold look on her face. Those people who did not have dirty thoughts about her would not dare to interact with Bai Li that easily.

    What was more, between the pair, Bai Li was an otherworldly creature and much more difficult tomunicate with. Naturally, Chen Xiang felt that talking to Qin Feng would be much easier as the message would also be better conveyed to Bai Li as well.

    ¡°Bro, I understand what you¡¯re saying, so you want me to exterminate the worm queen?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Even Qin Feng did not dare to promise that he would be able to defeat the worm queen.

    The more capable the beast king was, the more powerful it was, and the worm queen was the most threatening beast among them.

    And there were too many instances where fighting in groups would be better than going solo.

    ¡°This is too dangerous! Although you killed the Sand Lizardfolk Queen, I wouldn¡¯t dare to let you face the tribe by yourself. We can all work together to kill the worm queen!¡± Chen Xiang motioned with his hands hurriedly.

    ¡°That¡¯s a great idea!¡± Qin Feng nodded.

    The stiff expression on Chen Xiang¡¯s face finally rxed.

    ¡°Are you nning to join our Freemen Alliance as well?¡±

    Qin Feng, however, shook his head, ¡°Since we¡¯re free men, why do we still need an alliance? Wouldn¡¯t it be unnecessary to form such an alliance? Let¡¯s just treat this as a coboration work, we¡¯re just temporary teammates!¡±

    Qin Feng did not want to get involved with Yan Fang for the time being.

    He was not weak, though he was not much stronger than Qin Feng either.

    But he would eventually be a member of the Dark Organization, and that was for certain.

    It was better for Qin Feng to stay on guard.

    ¡°But...¡±

    Just as Chen Xiang was about to say something, Qin Feng let out a faintugh, ¡°I¡¯m a man who prefers absolute freedom, consider this cooperation my help to you, and as a show of gratitude for the time you helped me at the auction house!¡±

    If it were not for giving Chen Xiang face, Qin Feng would not have agreed to this muddy trip.

    After all, this was a worm queen siege.

    Whether it was the Steel-limb Broodmother Queen or the Golden Ant Queen, an F-tier worm queen was very difficult to deal with, let alone a D-tier worm queen.

    ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll go by what you said. It would be good if we can get to know each other, and promise me we¡¯ll fight by each other¡¯s side in the future!¡± Chen Xiang said.

    ¡°Of course!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded.

    ¡°Let¡¯s get going!¡±

    Chen Xiang got up and put on the bathrobe that was ced next to him. Then, he led Qin Feng to the club¡¯s lounge.

    Inside the lounge, there was already a group of people.

    Not only were there aptitude users in bathrobes, there was also a group of beautiful young women in bikinis surrounding them.

    As soon as Qin Feng entered the lounge, the crowd immediately turned their attention to them.

    ¡°Qin Feng, let me introduce you to the leader of the Freemen Alliance, Yan Fang!¡±

    ¡°Hello there!¡±

    ¡°Hi!¡±

    Both men shook hands, and a glimmer of light shed in both of their eyes.

    ¡°Mr Qin, we understand why you wouldn¡¯t want to join our alliance. For a strong man like you, it¡¯s obvious that you wouldn¡¯t want to be led by others. Of course, the Freemen Alliance itself isn¡¯t a bound alliance, so let¡¯s treat this cooperation as a temporary project and nothing more!¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Qin Feng nodded.

    ¡°Mr Qin, have a seat!¡±

    ¡°Mr Qin, do you require these beauties for your service?¡±

    ¡°Mr Qin doesn¡¯t need any beauties! He already has a girlfriend and she¡¯s a real beauty!¡±

    The crowd spoke to Qin Feng one after another.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He despised the fact that these people wereparing Bai Li to these women who sold their bodies just so they could stay by these aptitude users¡¯ side.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me, you guys enjoy yourselves!¡±

    Qin Feng rejected their offer and sat alone on a sofa.

    His demeanor became somewhat cold.

    Everyone was somewhat sullen, and deep inside, they did not like Qin Feng very much.

    In their opinion, Qin Feng was too arrogant.

    Yan Fang looked shaken and he waved his hand to signal for the women to leave the lounge.

    ¡°Let¡¯s discuss the n. Lately, the golden sand worms are on the move quite frequently. The faster we make our move, the better!¡±

    Once they got to the main topic, Qin Feng¡¯s face warmed up a bit.

    In fact, Yan Fang and the others knew what important matters they should focus on. The golden sand worms indeed posed a great danger to them, so dangerous that they must not dally around anymore.

    More importantly, Yan Fang had found the Golden Sand Worm Queen¡¯s nest.

    With that, they knew the location and the time to strike, and all that was missing was unity between the members!

    With Qin Feng now in the team, they truly had the manpower to challenge the Golden Sand Worm Queen.

    With that being said, the operation had been confirmed.

    ¡°There are two hundred thousand golden sand worms, and we have to clear at least ten thousand per day for a period of half a month. Toward the end, we¡¯ll start the siege on the Golden Sand Worm Queen. I¡¯ll register this mission with Hu Liang and make this our main mission, other urgent missions can wait!¡±

    Chen Xiang was the first to frown. ¡°I¡¯m afraid the members of the Freemen Alliance would be too exhausted from killing a hundred worms, let alone ten thousand. That¡¯s an insane number!¡±

    Only Yan Fang would think otherwise.

    His eyes fell on Qin Feng.

    ¡°Kill as many as you can, leave the rest to me!¡± Qin Feng smiled faintly.

    ¡°Nice, I like you Mr Qin, you¡¯re always up for a good challenge!¡± Yan Fang smiled.

    In fact, Qin Feng had only killed around four thousand golden sand worms in eight hours today. Qin Feng did not go all out as he did not want to show off too much in front of the other D-tier aptitude users.

    And now, things were different since this was a mission. The more effort Qin Feng put in the more rewards he would get once the mission had beenpleted.

    ¡°Tomorrow, assemble here at 8 am sharp, and we¡¯ll head to the battlefield together! Hopefully, this time we¡¯ll be able to protect Shadong Town!¡± Yang Fang said.

    The crowd was in high spirits.

    They were no longer weak aptitude users, and naturally they would want to achieve something great.

    They were now involved in the siege of the beast king. How could something like this not be exciting to them.

    Moreover, they would be granted with great wealth once the siege waspleted!

    ***

    In the next morning, a toon ofbat hover copters flew past Shadong Town.

    It was a bit strange that so manybat hover copters were deployed without any prior notice.

    Lei Chang, who was still having his breakfast, frowned when he heard the hover copters. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Are they on a big mission right now?¡±

    With his powers, Lei Chang could sense the number of people inside the hover copters that were zooming through the sky.

    There were more than forty D-tiers inside!

    One of Lei Chang¡¯s goons immediately stepped forward. ¡°It¡¯s Yan Fang¡¯s group, and they just won¡¯t give up on the Golden Sand Worm Queen. This time, they¡¯ve grouped up with Qin Feng who has just bought the beast emperor crystal core. It looks like something big is about to happen!¡±

    Lei Chang immediately frowned when he heard Qin Feng¡¯s name.

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    Lei Cheng snorted in dissatisfaction, and his re turned fierce.

    Before this, he had ordered people to set up Qin Feng, but never did he expect that Qin Feng would still be able toplete the task and y the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.

    Not only did Qin Feng gain the spotlight, he had also benefited from Lei Cheng¡¯s n, unintentionally helping him to seed in the mission.

    How could Lei Chang not be angry?

    Just thinking about it made Lei Chang¡¯s heart ache in anger.

    ¡°That damn brat!¡±

    Lei Chang became even more infuriated.

    The injuries that Lei Chang had received from the showdown at the auction house had mostly recovered, but it still somewhat affected hisbat, which made him furious.

    Although there was no need for him to risk his life in battle, again, Lei Chang had gained nothing in the past few days, and a lot of things had been dyed since.

 Chapter 339 - Yan Fangâ€™s Candy Trap

    <h4>Chapter 339: Yan Fang¡¯s Candy Trap</h4>

    Now, Qin Feng had teamed up with Yan Fang and his people, and they were on their way out for a hunt. Just the thought of this made his blood boil.

    At this time, the people in the hover copters had their missile scopes locked onto the area they wanted to attack.

    While the golden sand worms were young, they had the strength of an F-tier. They could then evolve into E-tier ultra beasts once they had reached adulthood, and some of them could advance to D-tier if they were to grow well.

    When the worm pack was on the move, the D-tier worm beasts would mix among the pack and they were extremely powerful.

    Worse still, these D-tier worms were worm soldiers and generals.

    In the entire pack, there was only one beast king¡ªthe Golden Sand Worm Queen. The queen hid underground and did not move much.

    This was because the queen¡¯s strongest ability was reproduction.

    Qin Feng had reached a location nearest to the golden sand worm¡¯s nest, while the others were a little further away.

    Under the yellow sand, there were no visible traces of the golden sand worms.

    The sand worms had the same appearance as sand, and they carried a shell that looked like golden sand pellets. Their mouths had strong suction power, and their teeth were sharp enough to easily bite through human bones.

    The F-tier sand wormrvae were around a meter long, and the E-tiers were one and half meters long, which was almost the same height as humans!

    On the other hand, the D-tier sandworms could reach up to two meters long, which was the size of a giant worm. It could easily tten and crush a human being with just a single charge.

    As soon as Qin Feng and Bai Linded on the ground, a fearless golden sand wormrva emerged from the sand and bit onto Qin Feng.

    Bang!

    The golden sand worm collided onto Qin Feng¡¯s internal aura and was sted away.

    Qin Feng stepped forward and crushed the sand worm with his foot.

    Poof!

    Brown blood gushed out of the sand worm¡¯s body, and its foul smell stung Qin Feng¡¯s nose.

    ¡°If we hunt like this, how long will it take us to finish killing a few thousand of these worms?¡± Qin Feng thought. With a point of his finger, a weapon from his spatial rune equipment appeared in his hand.

    It was a hand cannon!

    Boom!

    Qin Feng pushed the button and a cannonball was shot a hundred meters away.

    Boom!

    Sand, dusts and smoke arose upon impact.

    The shockwave from the st began to spread.

    The golden sand worms hidden in the sand were enraged as they were startled by the st.

    tter!

    The sand worms began to crawl out of the desert.

    The yellow sand gradually turned gold with sand worms, and the sand worms swarmed toward Qin Feng like a big tide.

    A gigantic golden sand worm then bit onto Qin Feng.

    It was a D-tier golden sand worm.

    Qin Feng was unfazed by the bite and wielded his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    The saber shed horizontally, instantly splitting the golden sand worm into two.

    Subsequently, monstrous mes sprung out from Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was able to spread to the range of one kilometer, and the fiery diamond core had even granted Qin Feng a monstrous fire rune.

    This further enhanced the hellfire carpet¡¯s power.

    All around Qin Feng, every corner of the desert within his sight was engulfed by a sea of fire.

    ¡°Squeak!¡±

    The sand worms shrieked.

    The mes roasted all of their bodies, turning them into charcoal in the blink of an eye.

    Major kill!

    If Qin Feng did not stop his powers, the mes could keep on killing the sand worms.

    The golden sand worms quickly hid underground, but Qin Feng was not going to let them go. He reloaded his hand cannon and continued with his bombardment.

    Boom!

    This time, the cannon struck the ho¡¯s nest, and thousands of insectoids surged out of the ground. Among them was actually a D-tier beast general.

    The beast general was four meters long. As it dashed toward Qin Feng, it opened its mouth wide and swallowed Qin Feng whole into its stomach.

    It swallowed Qin Feng in a single gulp without biting through Qin Feng¡¯s internal force.

    Qin Feng sneered and pointed the Verdant Emperor Saber toward the sky.

    ¡°zing, Sky!¡±

    Boom

    Light burst out of his de and pierced through the golden sand worm¡¯s shell from the inside, creating a huge opening.

    Qin Feng instantly leaped out of it.

    On the other hand, the beast general had received heavy damage and was on the verge of death.

    The battlested for an hour, and Qin Feng finished off a beast general with ease.

    Others did not dare to do it like Qin Feng.

    The ce they were at was actually ten kilometers away from the golden sand worms.

    The two hundred thousand golden sand worms were too loosely dispersed, so the alliance advanced step by step.

    It was just that Qin Feng was clearly not following them and going on his own killing spree. In a way, it did help make things easier for the others, relieving the pressure for them.

    ¡°This Qin Feng dude really did what he said he would do!¡±

    ¡°He lured most of the sand worms away, making things easier for us!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng is so powerful!¡±

    Bai Li was at the battle area right next to Qin Feng, and on her other side was Yan Fang.

    Bai Li was sitting on a sand dune, watching Qin Feng¡¯s battle with boredom.

    In just an hour¡¯s time, Bai Li had killed a hundred golden sand worms, after which she stopped hunting.

    If any of the golden sand worms were to mess with Bai Li, Bai Li would release her aura to scare them away.

    Ever since fighting with Qin Feng, the range of Qin Feng¡¯s absorption ability was too vast. Because of this, Bai Li did not like killing ultra beasts as Qin Feng would not be able to devour the beasts¡¯ powers.

    As a result, Bai Li had little to no enthusiasm for this battle.

    At this moment, the battlefield where Yan Fang was at began to die down a little. He proceeded to walk toward Bai Li¡¯s direction.

    When he arrived, he was surprised to find Bai Li sitting on a sand dune instead of fighting. She ced her chin on both of her palms, looking into the distance.

    Such a beautifuldy would truly make anyone¡¯s heart throb.

    Yan Fang¡¯s eyes twinkled with excitement.

    He made his footsteps louder as if he wanted to get Bai Li¡¯s attention, except that when he reached Bai Li¡¯s side, she did not even turn to look at him.

    ¡°Why are you sitting here, Miss Bai?¡± Yan Fang broke the silence.

    Bai Li took a look at Yan Fang and turned away. ¡°I¡¯ve only been asked to kill a hundred golden sand worms. I¡¯ve done it!¡±

    Yan Fang¡¯s pupils narrowed.

    Bai Li was indeed strong, and from among the rumors and news he had heard, Qin Feng had a strong female counterpart that would always be by his side. Many were jealous of him because of this.

    ¡°Princess Bai, since you¡¯re done killing, would you like to eat something?¡± Yan Fang asked.

    ¡°What?¡± Bai Li¡¯s eyes lit up.

    Yan Fang took out a crystal box, and inside the box, there was a small, crystal clear fruit.

    ¡°Here, have this fruit!¡± Yan Fang offered.

    It was an icy-flesh fruit, although its rank was not high, it had a fatal attraction to women and it could help to smoothen and beautify one¡¯s skin. One icy-flesh fruit was worth five million.

    Although five million was nothing to a D-tier aptitude user, spending five million to acquire a G-tier fruit was considered avish spending!

    Yan Fang had put in a lot of effort to get Bai Li.

    This was, of course, just a test. If Bai Li were interested, Yan Fang would give her something even better.

    Bai Li looked at the icy-flesh fruit with disappointment. ¡°Just this one?¡±

    Yan Fang was stunned.

    ¡°There¡¯s no use eating too much of this spirit fruit, since it wouldn¡¯t amplify its benefits anyways!¡± Yan Fang said.

    ¡°Forget about it, I¡¯ve my own!¡± Bai Li trailed off.

    Saying that, Bai Li raised her hand, and a huge pile of pristine lotus seeds appeared on the crystal bowl.

    To her, it was just a bowl of spirit fruits; but to others, it was a pile of money.

 Chapter 340 - Bad Intentions

    <h4>Chapter 340: Bad Intentions</h4>

    ¡°Would you like to have some?¡± Bai Li took the small crystal bowl and ced it right in front of Yan Fang¡¯s face.

    Yan Fang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his throat dry and his heart beating wildly.

    After all, these were pristine lotus seeds.

    He tried to win over Bai Li by offering her a luxurious fruit, but now he felt that Bai Li had just thrown money right at his face.

    Yan Fang was truly embarrassed, he could not lose face anymore.

    ¡°I... I¡¯ll pass!¡± Yan Fang said.

    Bai Li withdrew her hand firmly and dropped the humble act.

    ¡°Hmm, my hubby doesn¡¯t like to eat these either. He says that a little bit of this is enough, anything more would be wasteful!¡±

    Bai Li ate another lotus seed. It would be wasteful for Qin Feng to eat more of the seeds as there was a limit to how much a human body could carry the seeds¡¯ power, and Qin Feng had reached his limits.

    However, there was no such limit for an ultra beast like Bai Li.

    Yan Fang¡¯s face turned blue as he watched Bai Li devour the seeds.

    At this moment, he stared at Qin Feng¡¯s shadowy figure from afar. He could only imagine how difficult it was for Qin Feng to have ady like her!

    The price it took to please a beauty like Bai Li was too much!

    Yan Fang would have to reconsider his ns.

    At this time, Qin Feng was in the middle of the battle and he sensed the situation between Bai Li and Yan Fang from a distance.

    ¡°Why did he look for you?¡± Qin Feng used his consciousness tomunicate with Bai Li.

    Bai Li, likewise, replied with her consciousness.

    ¡°He wanted to treat me to some icy-flesh fruit, but it did not provide enough energy, and it was just the size of a fingernail. Stingy guy!¡±

    ¡°Yan Fang is not stingy,¡±ughed Qin Feng.

    That was why raising a girl was a difficult job, and they could not be abducted easily by others.

    Bai Li was a young bride raised by Qin Feng, but at the very beginning, Qin Feng raised her as his own daughter.

    There was no way she could be so easily fooled and lured away by others.

    ¡°Hmph, I called him stingy as an excuse for himself, do you think that I didn¡¯t know what he was up to? I knew it was just a Greek gift and he was up to no good, girls these days can¡¯t ept anything from strangers, especially milk tea!¡±

    ¡°What else did you see?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s face darkened.

    ¡°Nothing much. Moreover, my consciousness is telling me that Yan Fang has some bad motives!¡±

    Yan Fang thought that Bai Li was just a sweet innocent girl. In fact, Bai Li was more sensitive than anyone else, and she could even clearly sense the aura of the people around her.

    ¡°Indeed, he¡¯s nning on something bad. I guess he¡¯s either trying to stir up trouble or buy people¡¯s hearts! You wait there, I¡¯ll be right there in just a moment!¡±

    Qin Feng quickened his movements and cleared the surrounding worm beasts with lightning speed as he headed toward Bai Li.

    Yan Fang¡¯s eyebrows furrowed when his keen senses picked up that Qin Feng was approaching them. He quickly rxed his face.

    ¡°Mr Qin, it¡¯s better seeing you work in person than listening to the rumors. There is so much fuss over your side that I couldn¡¯t help but toe over and observe a bit!¡± Yan Fang said.

    ¡°Alright then, finish up quickly. If you don¡¯t mind, help out my girlfriend too. She doesn¡¯t like to get her hands dirty.¡±

    ¡°Haha, girls don¡¯t like to fight, so we should protect them!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, but she¡¯s not weak. If she gets into the fighting mood, I¡¯m not sure if I would even be a worthy opponent to her!¡±

    Yan Fang did not know if Qin Feng was joking or not, but he knew Bai Li was powerful. Otherwise, he would not have been tempted toe here to steal Qin Feng¡¯s girlfriend.

    ¡°It¡¯s gettingte, I¡¯ll clear out this area and returnter. Mr Yan, try your best too!¡±

    After saying so, Qin Feng raised the hand cannon and fired it at the ground.

    The worm beasts were enraged and crawled out of the ground.

    The expression on Yan Fang¡¯s face changed. ¡°Huh, you continue with your work, I¡¯ll leave first!¡±

    Seeing that Qin Feng was so brazen, Yan Feng chickened out and quickly retreated. Even so, he was still ambushed by a D-tier golden sand worm and it took him ten minutes to defeat it, leaving him frightened with cold sweat.

    On the other side, Qin Feng began his massacre once again!

    In a day¡¯s time, Qin Feng had killed nearly ten thousand golden sand worms, which was considered to be an over-achievement.

    Buzz

    Thebat hover copters arrived to greet the crowd, and one of them stopped above Qin Feng.

    ¡°Mr Qin, it¡¯s me, I¡¯ll bring you back!¡±

    Qin Feng heard the person through his consciousness, then the figure appeared at the door of the hover copter.

    It was Han Nuan, the E-tier gunner who he had rescued yesterday.

    ¡°Go check it out!¡±

    Qin Feng held on to Bai Li as peacock mes appeared behind him, allowing him to take off into the sky.

    The two of them got inside the hover copter and Han Nuan closed the cabin door. He maneuvered the hover copter back to Shadong Town.

    ¡°Mr Qin, Ms Bai, thank you so much for yesterday. I had too many things to deal with yesterday, and today I finally found this opportunity to properly thank the both of you. Oh, and this, thank you Ms Bai!¡±

    Han Nuan took out apressed dposing ster, it was the same ster Bai Li had given Han Nuan to save his own life.

    Han Nuan was a little embarrassed. ¡°I don¡¯t have much money with me right now, so I¡¯ve only filled the energy inside the ster halfway. Besides, I¡¯ve only found this job today, so I¡¯m afraid I¡¯m going to be poor at the moment!¡±

    Han Nuan was caught by Deng Gong, and the spatial rune equipment he had on must have been taken away.

    It could be said that he was back to square one.

    However, Han Nuan had some other ideas.

    ¡°Mr Qin, if you don¡¯t mind, I can pay off my debts by working under you. You¡¯ve been clearing up the golden sand worms recently, so I can help you to organize the sand worm materials and I can guarantee you that my fee would be way less than handing the materials over to the Wanzong Organization, how about it?¡±

    Han Nuan looked at Qin Feng expectantly.

    ¡°You want to be my agent for Shadong Town?¡± Qin Feng nked the armrest and spoke Han Nuan¡¯s mind.

    ¡°Yes, and I think I can handle the job well! That¡¯s why I rmended myself!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. He knew Han Nuan would not lie to him as he dared not do so.

    With Qin Feng¡¯s current strength and the prestige he had obtained from several battles, it would not be difficult to believe that many people would want to be Qin Feng¡¯s underling.

    But they did not have the chance.

    Han Nuan was the first to get this chance, and he definitely would not be thest.

    ¡°Sure, and I hope you won¡¯t disappoint me!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sir, I¡¯ll do my absolute best!¡±

    Qin Feng did not ept the ster. ¡°Since you¡¯re now my underling, you can¡¯t have no weapons at all, so keep this for self-protection.¡±

    ¡°Ah, well, thank you, Sir!¡± This further ensured Han Nuan that he did not make the wrong choice.

    Qin Feng was nning to have Xue Xingfue to Shadong Town once he had advanced to E-tier, but now it seemed that there was no need for that much trouble anymore.

    Qin Feng¡¯s underling circle was gradually expanding as well!

    Once the hover copter had returned to Shadong Town, Qin Feng gave all of the harvest for the day to Han Nuan.

    Han Nuan was astonished as he tallied up the batch of goods.

    Before this, Dacheng Organization had C-tier aptitude users to exterminate beast emperors. It took them a lot of effort and two months of preparation to round up the ultra beast pack and finally kill the beast emperor. The materials they had obtained from the mission piled up like mountains.

    Dacheng Organization had at least four to five hundred members, all of whom were elites.

    But Qin Feng was a one-man team, and he could outdo Dacheng Organization with just a day¡¯s work.

    This made Han Nuan extremely excited.

    ¡°For today¡¯s statistics, it is estimated that there is two hundred forty million worth of materials.¡±

    ¡°Alright, go deal with it, there¡¯s no need to return this money to me!¡±

    It was only two hundred million worth of materials. Qin Feng did not mind too much right now.

    ¡°Oh right,e to the frontline with me tomorrow and help me to collect the materials. Remember toe pick us up at eight o¡¯clock!¡± Qin Feng instructed.

    ¡°Roger, Sir!¡± Han Nuan replied.

 Chapter 341 - Worm Beast Tide

    <h4>Chapter 341: Worm Beast Tide</h4>

    In the following week, Qin Feng had teamed up with the Freemen Alliance and were fighting the golden sand worms.

    The nest of the golden sand worms was in the North Sea Desert and was not far from Shadong Town, which was the reason why the golden sand worms frequently troubled Shadong Town.

    As a result of their efforts, Shadong Town had be calm and peaceful. At least norge-scale invasions had urred in the recent days.

    The closer they got to their nest, the more the sand worms appeared, and the more powerful they became.

    Among the golden sand desert.

    There was a sea of mes.

    Qin Feng fought hard to kill the sand worms.

    As the mes continued to spread every second, the sand worms¡¯ death toll began to rise. Qin Feng¡¯s body continuously absorbed the energy left behind by the beast corpses.

    Qin Feng had killed at least one hundred thousand sandworms in the past few days.

    And the number only continued to increase every day.

    The humongous sand worms had also provided Qin Feng with immense power and increased his strength.

    After absorbing the D-tier beast emperor crystal core, his base strength had increased exponentially. Besides that, he had gone on several emergency missions and finished off the sand lizardfolk and their queen.

    Now, his powers had grown even stronger.

    Boom!

    The strength of Qin Feng¡¯s physical body flesh suddenly skyrocketed.

    An intimidating and paralyzing aura began to spread from within his body.

    It was the aura that only a beast emperor could possess when it was at the peak of its limit.

    The aura spread so fast that even if Qin Feng were to withdraw his saber, the aura would still spread at lightning speed.

    The other people among the Freemen Alliance were slightly stunned. All of them looked in Qin Feng¡¯s direction.

    ¡°Did Qin Feng just advance to the next tier again?¡±

    ¡°Does that mean he¡¯s a D1-tier now?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that too soon? Maybe before he received his certificate for D-tier, his body had already umted so much energy that he was about to reach the next tier!¡±

    As human beings, they were not quite able to carefully distinguish the power between kings and emperors. They only knew that Qin Feng¡¯s aura was powerful and his strength was explosive.

    And at this time, it was not just the human beings that were able to sense Qin Feng¡¯s aura.

    Their current location was already close to the golden sand worm¡¯s nest. Due to the mass massacres over the past few days, it had upset the Golden Sand Worm Queen and it could no longer sit still!

    Qin Feng¡¯s ascension was a signal.

    A signal of rivalry.

    Although the sandworm queen knew that Qin Feng had the strength of an emperor, a human emperor, it was still not enough to terrorize the other tribes.

    On this earth, there were many powerful invaders.

    But in regards to a tiny puny human being, their strength and physique were still too far behind.

    Suddenly, everyone¡¯smunicators began to emit a sharp rm.

    ¡°Warning, warning! Arge-scale beast tide is approaching!¡±

    ¡°The aura of a king-ss beast has been sensed nearby!¡±

    ¡°Emergency retreat!¡±

    On the screen of themunicators, red dots began to appear on the map wildly. In the blink of an eye, the entire screen turned scarlet.

    One aptitude user looked up abruptly and saw dust and sand rising up at the edge of the desert, followed by a golden sh of light.

    Under the sunlight and with the yellow sand as the backdrop, it was easy to make out that the shadows were clearly a tide of densely packed sand worm beasts!

    ¡°Run!¡±

    The aptitude user was too close to the tide. He dared not stand there any longer and turned around to flee.

    Boom!

    With one footnding on the ground, he activated his qinggong, giving him three extra pairs of legs so he could run faster.

    ¡°Combat hover copters, quick,e and get them!¡±

    ¡°The worm tide has broken out, and it¡¯s a medium-sized tide!¡±

    While they were screaming for their lives, abat hover copter appeared in the sky.

    It was Sky Dweller!

    At the frontline of the battlefield, Qin Feng was the first to notice the air disturbance!

    He immediately unleashed Dragon Steps and found Bai Li.

    Sky Dweller had always been inside Bai Li¡¯s space, and the two quickly boarded the hover copter. Qin Feng sat in the pilot¡¯s seat and quickly revved up the engine.

    Before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, he had a feeble physique and was weakpared to the others. Although he might have lost his consciousness, his conscious strength was still retained.

    It could be said that he was half of a gunner, and he only truly became an ancient warrior once he had reached C-tier.

    And now, his knowledge as an ex-gunner once again came into y.

    The Sky Dweller began to elerate sharply.

    Qin Feng could see countless golden sand worms below the hover copter.

    The remaining sand worms on the ground were already on the move!

    Buzz!

    Qin Feng maneuvered Sky Dweller to make a quick shift in direction.

    Then, in the desert, a wall of ten meters in height and a hundred meters in length was erected from the ground!

    ¡°Great Earth Wall!¡±

    It was Chen Xiang¡¯s skill!

    ¡°Brother Chen, get up here!¡± Qin Feng sent out the message with his conscious power.

    ¡°Sky Barrier!¡±

    Chen Xiang was calm andposed while forming a formidable fortress from the ground. In the blink of an eye, the fortress rose thirty meters into the sky.

    He used his consciousness to control the sand and stone blocks, positioning it close to the Sky Dweller. With a single leap, he got on the hover copter.

    Just as his front foot took off from the wall, behind him, the tall great wall was instantly swarmed by countless golden sand worms. The spot he had his foot on was engulfed by the sand worms.

    There were too many of them!

    ¡°Quick, rescue the others!¡± Chen Xiang shouted.

    Boom!

    Two energy cannonballs were shot out, bombarding the sand worms.

    At the same time, one F-tier aptitude user in the frontline was drowned by the sand worms!

    ¡°Brother Gao!¡± Chen Xiang could sense the situation outside with his consciousness. His heart was now racking with pain.

    The Sky Dweller descended rapidly.

    Soon, it was hovering twenty meters above the ground!

    ¡°Bai Li, do it!¡±

    Qin Feng shouted loudly.

    Bai Li instantly jumped out from the hatch.

    Bam!

    With the flick of her whip, rays of silvery lights crackled within a hundred meters from her position, and tiny cracks began to fill up the air.

    In the blink of an eye, all the worms that were within the whip¡¯s range were crushed into pieces.

    None of the worms survived.

    A human figure was seen trying to shake off the worms and escape on the area that was left intact.

    The internal force covering his body had not been broken!

    ¡°Brother Gao!¡± Chen Xiang was delighted to see him.

    ¡°Go!¡± Bai Li wrapped the ancient warrior with her conscious energy and flung him into the air, instantly returning him into the Sky Dweller.

    ¡°Holy sh*t! I thought I was dead!¡± Gao Li said as he tried to gasp for air.

    ¡°I thought you were dead too, but lucky for you, we¡¯ve Miss Bai here!¡± Chen Xiang let out a sigh of relief.

    ¡°Words can¡¯t describe how thankful I am for your help! If you require any help in the future, I would dly provide my assistance!¡±

    ¡°Keep that forter!¡± Bai Li waved her hand, not minding Gao Li¡¯s gratitude.

    In her opinion, it was just a small matter.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Sky Dweller was able to zoom through the air at lightning speed, and he even picked up four more people. Fortunately, nothing happened to the D-tier aptitude users.

    They were the main forces of Shadong Town.

    Buzz!

    Shadong Town¡¯sbat hover copters were dispatched.

    The aptitude users who were frantically escaping from the battlefield were picked up by the hover copters.

    This time, everyone was safe.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    An ear-shattering roar was hearding from the center of the beast tide.

    Then, an extremelyrge, four-storey tall golden sand worm appeared.

    This golden sand worm was different from the other worms. Its body was jade white, which was very beautiful and appealing, but the aura emanating from her body was frightening.

    ¡°It¡¯s the Golden Sand Worm Queen!¡±

    A king-level beast.

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen finally made her move!

    ¡°Warn Shadong Town, prepare to activate wide-area assault weapons. Today¡¯s harvest is going to be huge!¡± Qin Feng sent out the warning quickly.

    ¡°Message received, execute the order immediately!¡±

    Hu Liang¡¯s voice was heard

    It was obvious that they were going big this time!

 Chapter 342 - Dogfight

    <h4>Chapter 342: Dogfight</h4>

    ¡°Allbat hover copters, fall back!¡±

    ¡°Evasive actions!¡±

    ¡°Main cannons ready to fire, D-tier destructive energy rounds armed, ready to engage!¡±

    As Hu Liang gave the orders, the barrels of the energy cannons slowly turned to the skies.

    Dy was not an option in battle.

    ¡°Fire!¡±

    Boom!

    A three-meter round exploded across the sky.

    It looked like a rocket ship that aimed for the sky from afar.

    After the round had traveled more than ten thousand meters, it began to turn downward.

    The dozens ofbat hover copters were hovering a thousand meters away. They looked on as the roundnded upon the swarms of bugs.

    Boom!

    A loud explosion erupted.

    The shpoint pierced through the sky.

    A huge mushroom cloud rose out from the eruption.

    Soon, the shpoint vanished. A cloud of dense smoke spiraled into the skies.

    An innumerable amount of fragmented insectoid bodies covered the ground.

    They were all taken out by the violent explosion!

    ¡°Looks like that round didn¡¯t do much!¡± said Qin Feng.

    Everyone on the Sky Dweller was taken aback.

    ¡°Come on, that was a D-tier destructive energy around. Theoretically, it could wound a beast emperor!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯d have to hit it first!¡± Qin Feng shrugged.

    The smoke began to disperse. Something was emerging from the center of the swarm.

    There was a crater in the middle, almost a hundred meters in diameter. Underneath that, a golden light came into sight.

    Creak!

    The light began to crack!

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen crawled out soon after.

    For now, it did not receive much damage.

    ¡°Screech!¡±

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen screeched out loudly. It produced a huge suction force that pulled in thebat hover copters toward it.

    ¡°Oh no, we better run!¡±

    The aptitude users were horrified.

    At that moment, a bunch of purple-coloredbat hover copters began to fire erratically.

    Some of the cannon fires were directed toward the Golden Sand Worm Queen. But most of them were fired at thebat hover copters in front.

    Boom!

    Abat hover copter was directly hit. It lost bnce and crashed into the ground.

    With no means of resisting, thebat hover copters were directly sucked into the queen¡¯s mouth.

    The crew members leaped out from the choppers in an attempt to save themselves.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned grim.

    ¡°Dammit, it¡¯s the Leitangs!¡±

    ¡°What the hell are they doing? Are they trying to kill us all?¡±

    ¡°Quick, we need to know their status!¡±

    The people on the Sky Dweller were enraged.

    ***

    Elsewhere, the five or sixbat choppers of the Leitang Organization were flying in a dazzling manner above the battlefield.

    Lei Chang was in one of them. He showed a grim smile as he ordered, ¡°Lin Shi, knock that Sky Dweller out of the sky. Isn¡¯t he rich? I¡¯d like to see what he can do with his wealth! Those who are fated to crash shall eventually!¡±

    Lin Shi was full of confidence within the chopper. As a D-tier gunner, he had vast experience in piloting thebat hover copter. He naturally agreed.

    ¡°That Qin Feng may be strong, but within the chopper he¡¯s just a caged tiger. He won¡¯t be able to escape; I¡¯ll offer him to the purgatory!¡±

    Lin Shi aimed his rounds precisely at the Sky Dweller.

    ***

    On top of the Sky Dweller.

    Qin Feng pulled up his stick. The Sky Dweller was flying at full speed.

    The Sky Dweller managed to evade eight out of ten rounds. The other two roundsnded on the Sky Dweller.

    Bzzt!

    The Sky Dweller¡¯s shield was flickering crazily.

    The seven or eight crew members in the Sky Dweller turned pale. They saw how the D-tier aptitude users who escaped from the crashed chopper were surrounded by the golden sand worms.

    There was only a feeling of fear!

    The people who asked what was going on shut their mouths!

    Was there a need to ask at this moment?

    Was there a need to ask at all?

    The Leitangs intended to kill them!

    Qin Feng calmly and quickly put on his flight helmet.

    ¡°Consciousness connection!¡±

    In a split second, Qin Feng could feel his consciousness expanding to cover every part of thebat hover copter.

    The many sensory buttons made him feel like he was thebat hover copter himself.

    As his consciousness expanded, his senses had spread out as well. He could see everything that was going on on the battlefield.

    Qin Feng locked on toward a direction. There was a purple chopper there.

    Swoosh!

    A streak of energy ray went in the direction of the chopper.

    The chopper¡¯s energy shield flickered for a moment. Its shield was severely weakened by the blow.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Sky Dweller was equipped with only energy cannons. It could only fire energy photons!

    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

    A row of light began to be fired in a dazzling array. There was no need to conserve ammo at all.

    ng!

    The enemy¡¯s energy shield was shattered.

    ¡°Go to hell!¡±

    Qin Feng huffed coldly. Using his consciousness, the light hit the side wing of the enemy chopper.

    Boom!

    The hovering system was destroyed. The enemy chopper crashed to the ground!

    The Sky Dweller tore across the sky like a victorious knight.

    Brrrt!

    Numerous rounds of cannon fires erupted from behind.

    Qin Feng made a swirl across the sky. In a few explosions of light, the pursuing rounds were destroyed.

    Not only that, he had now appeared at the back of those crafts.

    Bzzt! Bzzt!

    A huge prism of light exploded.

    A purple craft attempted to dodge evasively but its shield was hit by the light. The shield shattered immediately as it was already at its limit.

    But the light caught another purple craft up ahead.

    Boom!

    The hover copter disintegrated!

    The E-tier gunner pilot let out a shriek. His body was vaporized!

    There were three other D-tiers that were caught in the wake of the explosion. They would not be able to return to the skies!

    ¡°Bastards, let¡¯s kill him!¡±

    Lei Chang was furious.

    Lei Chang¡¯s hover copter was the one that had its shield destroyed.

    Lin Shi, who was piloting the craft, turned pale as well. That was too close forfort!

    For a gunner, especially a D-tier who could pilot the hover copter, a pilot going down with his craft is all toomon.

    Therefore, Lin Shi who narrowly escaped death almost lost it just now.

    ¡°F*ck, I don¡¯t believe it. There must be another gunner on the craft. I¡¯m gonna see who it is!¡±

    Lin Shi quickly put on his flight helmet.

    In an instant, his consciousness merged with thebat hover copter.

    The two began to engage in an erratic dogfight.

    The fight grew fierce.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Bzzt! Bzzt!!

    Swoosh!

    Rounds were flying across the sky. Hover copters were falling down continuously.

    It was not that they did not want to dodge, thebat hover copters they were piloting had no D-tier gunner interface. Although five of Leitang¡¯sbat hover copters were not D-tier as well, their choppers were still miles ahead of the standard-issue ones from the Human Alliance.

    And then there was the Golden Sand Worm Queen. The unlucky ones could only fall to the grounds.

    There were only machines battling across the sky.

 Chapter 343 - The Golden Sand Worm Queen

    <h4>Chapter 343: The Golden Sand Worm Queen</h4>

    Boom!

    Once again, Qin Feng shot down anotherbat hovercopter.

    Only one purple hovercopter remained. It was Lin Shi.

    On the ground, the over twenty D-tier aptitude users who had crashed were unable to do much against the swarm of insects. They could only fight and run at the same time.

    In the skies, the two were still in battle.

    Inside the Sky Dweller, Chen Siang and the rest had tied themselves down to the ship as they feel the intense heat of the battle.

    ¡°How unexpected, Qin Feng could actually work the gunslinger interface!¡±

    ¡°It must be Lin Shi in the Leitang!¡±

    ¡°Lin Shi is one heck of a gunslinger! His consciousness energy is astounding!¡±

    Bai Li gave a cold shoulder. ¡°Well he¡¯s not gonna beat my husband! Hmph!¡±

    Of course he couldn¡¯t. Qin Feng had absorbed the beast emperor crystal core. His consciousness level was almost abnormal.

    Everybody knew Qin Feng was strong. They just did not know how strong he was.

    At that moment, inside the Leitang, Lin Shi¡¯s consciousness was wearing out fast. The battle had only gone on for a mere 10 minutes but he was already covered sweat.

    ¡°Bastards, why are you still fighting? An internal squabble at this moment? Stop right now, all of you!¡±

    A hovercopter appeared. This craft was much bigger than both Leitang and the Sky Dweller¡¯s. It was three times the size of the Leitang and four times the size of the Sky Dweller.

    It was Hu Liang¡¯s personal craft!

    He had been screaming on top of his lungs at hismunication device for some time now. Caught in the heat of the battle, the two men had both turned off their devices.

    Since the beast emperor had appeared, Hu Liang would have been there personally as well. He was also there to stop Qin Feng and Lin Shi.

    Or to put it more urately, he was there to stop Lei Chang.

    Qin Feng stopped pursuing. The Sky Dweller disengaged from the battle.

    On the other side, the Leitang too held off its attacks. Lin Shi took down his helmet and took a long breath.

    ¡°Damn, that was impossible!¡± Lin Shi punched so hard in his cockpit that a depression appeared.

    It was not a duel between ancient martial artists or ability users. It was a duel between gunslingers!

    And Qin Feng won that round.

    ¡°Bring us down!¡± Lei Chang¡¯s face was pale.

    The three hovercopters almostnded at the same time.

    They had no choice as well. Hundreds were already on the ground, fighting with the beast emperor!

    The battle was at its most dangerous point.

    As the Sky Dweller touched the ground, Cheng Siang, Gao Li, and the rest emerged. They red at Lei Chang and his crews but they were not brave enough to say anything.

    Qin Feng was thest to emerge from the Sky Dweller. Bai Li raised her hand. The Sky Dweller was tucked away into the space.

    The two groups walked together.

    Hu Liang was in the middle.

    ¡°No matter what grudge you have, put it aside! Get ready for battle now!¡±

    Lei Chang sneered at Qin Feng.

    ¡°I still can¡¯t forget that episode at the auction!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were cold as well.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you use up a lot of bandages? What a pity, such a waste!¡±

    The two¡¯s eyes were so fierce that knives could fly out from them.

    ¡°Stop bickering, get into the battle!¡±

    Hu Liang roared once again.

    Hu Liang had a bad temper. But since they were all D-tier aptitude users, he wasn¡¯t able to persuade them.

    Although they did not care for Hu Liang, they still respected the human alliance. They finally joined the fight.

    The slight dy had cost the D-tiered aptitude users.

    Two people died.

    In the wilderness, death was all toomon.

    However, D-tiers aren¡¯t some helpless children. It takes ten to twenty years to train up to a D-tier. Dying just like that was a great loss to the humans.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expressions became more serious.

    In a distance, the Golden Sand Queen¡¯s sights locked onto Qin Feng as well.

    She must¡¯ve felt that the beast emperor came from Qin Feng.

    How could a puny human be a beast emperor? For the insect Queen, it was unfathomable.

    However, that did not stop her from making Qin Feng her biggest enemy.

    Screech!!!

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen¡¯s giant mouth began moving. She screeched in an enraged protest.

    The Queen came rushing in with innumerable feet on both sides of her body.

    Although her size was big, her speed was fast.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    A D-tiered aptitude user could not move out of her way in time. He was crushed in the desert.

    Pshh!

    Blood spouted from the gaps between the bug¡¯s feet. A D-tiered aptitude died, just like that.

    The remaining D-tiered aptitude users were shocked. They quickly moved out of the way.

    Only Qin Feng remained at his feet. Even Chen Siang and the rest did not dare to face the Golden Sand Queen head-on.

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen was a D3-tiered beast emperor. She had no supernatural abilities but her physical defense was exceptionally high.

    The insectoids consume energy from the sand to strengthen themselves. They could continuously evolve.

    They were bugs that had a high defense point.

    Their attacks weren¡¯t weak as well for the humans.

    They had razor-sharp teeth and fast movement speed. Once bitten, they could even consume internal hard qi as well.

    The queen was only a hundred meters away from Qin Feng now.

    Finally, Qin Feng made his move!

    Instead of retreating, he went forward.

    A courageous charge forward.

    With his current strength, he had no fear of the beast emperor.

    ¡°sh!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber came down in one fell swoop.

    Boom!

    There was a sh of light as it hit the Golden Sand Worm Queen that vanished upon contact.

    The light that was formed by the internal qis could not break open the queen¡¯s carapace.

    Screech!

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen raised her innumerable feet and swept her body at Qin Feng.

    It was more of a crush than a sweep.

    Bam!

    The two creatures collided.

    Bish!

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber was stuck on the queen¡¯s body.

    At that very instance, the queen¡¯s pure-white carapace turned into pieces of sharp des.

    The des were slicing against Qin Feng as though he were about to be dismembered.

    Pshhhh!

    An ear-screeching voice came out from his internal hard qi.

    Qin Feng stepped on the queen¡¯s body and leaped out almost thirty over meters.

    The ming peacock appeared behind him to allow him tond.

    ¡°Fiery peacock!¡±

    A wave of blue me came pouring down.

    The jaded-white carapace of the Golden Sand Worm Queen quickly moved about and formed a golden shield.

    It was the same move that had deflected the D-tiered destructive round.

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen was much stronger than the Sand Lizardfolk Queen.

    At that moment, a person appeared on the other side of the Golden Sand Worm Queen.

    Dressed in white, the person was wearing a fire crystal jewelry. There was a silver-colored whip in her hand.

    It was Bai Li!

    Crackle!

    The silver whip moved about in a streak of silver light.

    The spatial runes burst in the air.

    Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

    Several wounds soon tore open from the jade-white carapace of the Golden Sand Worm Queen. Gold-colored blood was oozing from the wound.

    ¡°Wu...¡±

    The queen was agonizing in pain. It turned around and red at Bai Li.

    Screech!

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen charged toward Bai Li at an explosive speed as she attempts to crush her!

    Swoosh!

    Bai Li disappeared from where she was standing.

    Qin Feng appeared once again.

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    Rumble!

    A scorching hot magma pool emerged from the ground, spitting a huge column ofva which blew the Golden Sand Worm Queen into the sky.

    Underneath the Golden Sand Worm Queen¡¯s body was actually a gigantic mouth!

 Chapter 344 - Ambush

    <h4>Chapter 344: Ambush</h4>

    The mouth was still squirming around, trying to absorb the energy from the sand and churning them into her own power.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Hell Magma turned those sands into mouth-burning medicines instead.

    Sssssss...

    It was the sound made by the Golden Sand Worm Queen that had been scorched.

    Ouuuuuu!!

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen was screeching in pain.

    Qin Feng covered his ears with his consciousness energy.

    The other aptitude users who were weaker than Qin Feng felt as if their brains had been shaken.

    But the swarms of Golden Sand Worms did not stop their frenzied attacks against these people.

    ¡°Cover it with cannon rounds, hit the queen¡¯s weak points!¡±

    Hu Liang continued giving the order to attack. The gunslingers who were standing from a distance began to attack in a frantic manner.

    Lin Shi once again found his use. On his shoulder was a huge barrel aiming straight at the Golden Sand Worm Queen.

    A translucent cannon round hit the giant mouth of the queen.

    Boom!

    It produced a deep rumble that made them feel as if a huge energy was unleashed.

    The attack had severely wounded the queen.

    However, the attack knocked the queen away from the hell magma.

    The huge creature rolled around and fell to the ground.

    The aptitude users were manic.

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen was previously covered by innumerable insectoids. Only Qin Feng and Bai Li could step into their territory like nobody¡¯s business.

    Now that the queen had been knocked back a few hundred meters, there were visibly fewer insectoids around her.

    Lei Chang stepped on one of the golden sandworms. He raised his long sword that was covered in lightning.

    ¡°Lightning sword!¡±

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    A glow appeared on his sword as he shed against the queen¡¯s body.

    However, at that moment, the Golden Sand Worm Queen¡¯s feet began to turn around. The queen was now back on her feet.

    ng!

    The queen¡¯s jade-white carapace turned into sharp des that pierced toward Lei Chang.

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    Lei Chang¡¯s internal hard qi was rippled by the attack. Before Lei Chang couldnd the attack, he was knocked back!

    Screech!

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen sounded a long whistle. The numerous golden sandworm around her crawled into her abdomen. A bone-crushing sound followed soon after.

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen quickly recovered from her ails.

    The queen healed herself by consuming the rest of the golden sandworms.

    ¡°Steadyds, don¡¯t rush in without a n!¡± yelled Hu Liang.

    Lei Chang turned pale. Was he referring to him?

    At that moment, the insectoids began their frenzied rush to protect the queen, forcing the humans into retreat.

    They might all be D-tiered aptitude users, but the number of insectoids was far too enormous.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng took his time in pursuing the Golden Sand Worm. A fiery glow appeared from his sword as he severed the heads of the surrounding golden sandworms.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    Qin Feng charged into the middle like a lone ship in the middle of a sea of worms. A ship that was struggling but unsinkable.

    The fire was spreading.

    After going through seven to eight days of battle, the hellfire carpet¡¯s true potential had been unshackled by Qin Feng.

    As soon as Qin Feng raised his hand, a huge me that covered the earth consumed up to a hundred meters in range.

    All the insectoids that were within the range screeched out in pain. They were burnt into ashes by the me.

    The wings of the peacock carried Qin Feng forward.

    At that moment, only Qin Feng dared to enter deep into the insectoid territory.

    He covered a hundred meters in a sh.

    ¡°Hell magma!¡±

    A pool of magma appeared once again underneath the Golden Sand Worm Queen.

    Beneath the Queen¡¯s feet, a golden light appeared to shield the magma.

    ¡°Magma pir!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness energy pierced through the golden shield. By manipting the fire-elemental runes, the magma pir delivered a violent blow against its target.

    The Queen once again lost her bnce.

    On the other side, Lin Shi was ecstatically pushing the trigger on his energy cannon. He was sending rounds to the Golden Sand Worm Queen as well.

    Screech!

    The Golden Sand Word Queen made a somersault to dodge the rounds. It would not be easy to hit her again.

    Qin Feng did not give her time to recover. Magma pools appeared incessantly underneath the Golden Sand Worm Queen¡¯s feet.

    Although they were not causingrge damage to her, at least the magma pools prevented the Queen from absorbing the ground¡¯s energy.

    Soon after, Qin Feng sheathed his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The Queen had exceptional defensive points, she might even be immune to runic attacks. Perhaps physical attacks might do the trick?

    Qin Feng¡¯s speed exploded in a moment.

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand. A 3-meter long dragon w that was infused with heavy internal qi mauled onto the Queen¡¯s carapace.

    ck!

    Arge tear appeared on the jade-like carapace.

    Jackpot!

    Qin Feng quickly blinked onto the Queen.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion! Negate!¡±

    In a blink of a second, an enormous surge of internal energy expanded Qin Feng¡¯s physical energy by the multiples.

    Bam!

    One punch and the Golden Sand Worm Queen¡¯s outer carapace became fragmented.

    Bam!

    Another punch.

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    Qin Feng was delivering blows after blows on top of the Golden Sand Worm Queen. The whistling sound produced by the internal energy was deafening.

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen turned her carapace into sharp des to stab Qin Feng. However, they were all blocked by Qin Feng¡¯s internal hard qi.

    Qin Feng¡¯s blows were hitting her weak spots!

    Screech!

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen could not break free from Qin Feng.

    Suddenly, a sh of golden light appeared.

    The Queen¡¯s body rapidly became smaller.

    ¡°Oh no! The Queen¡¯s escaping!¡± Hu Liang roared in anger.

    It wasmon knowledge that beast emperor-level creatures could shapeshift. When arge beast emperor is in fear, it could shrink itself to a size that is virtually undetectable. It was their unbeatable advantage.

    They cannot let the beast emperor escape at this moment!

    Qin Feng held on to the beast emperor as best as he could. But right at that moment, a cannon round barreled toward him!

    It was Lin Shi!

    The cannon round was lethal. If it could wound the Golden Sand Worm Queen, it could naturally wound Qin Feng as well.

    Qin Feng sternly twitched his eyes.

    ¡°Turn!¡±

    His high mental strength had directly interrupted Lin Shi¡¯s control of the cannon round.

    The round turned toward another direction and self-destructed.

    The st took out the golden sandworms on the ground.

    Lin Shi¡¯s face turned pale.

    The cannon round was very costly. It was meant to be used against beast emperor-level creatures.

    Qin Feng diverted his cannon rounds to hit the average golden sandworms is akin to firing artillery shells at mosquitoes.

    ¡°Damn!¡± Lin Shi was furious. He passed on a message with his consciousness energy. ¡°Don¡¯t let the Queen escape! Quickly, go for the beast emperor crystal core!¡±

    Lin Shi was obviously trying to interrupt Qin Feng¡¯s effort by directing everyone toward him.

    The other aptitude users were stunned for a while. Momentster, their eyes lit up.

    The fact that they could be at their level was not because of their impulsive natures. Nor it was because they only knew how to take orders.

    But when the prize is on the line, the aptitude users were tempted to spring into action.

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    The crowd was screaming. Gradually, blood filled their eyes. Their sight was set upon Qin Feng¡¯s location.

    After all, the beast emperor only attacked Qin Feng!

    Qin Feng grinned.

    The Queen was hiding in the shadows, waiting for her turn to massacre the crowd. These people thought the Queen was like a sheep to the ughter, they¡¯ve even made Qin Feng their enemy!

    Howughable!

 Chapter 345 - Killings Without Hesitation

    <h4>Chapter 345: Killings Without Hesitation</h4>

    It was a turning point.

    A ray of golden light shed through the battlefield.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡± A D-tier ancient warrior covered his chest and did not know what had happened.

    However, everyone else had seen it!

    The chest of the aptitude user was impaled by the golden miniscule golden sand worms.

    Poof!

    There was no chance for the D-tier aptitude user in surviving that, his internal strength disseminated into the air while his body copsed onto the ground!

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    Everyone else was alerted by the situation.

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen had shrunken its body!

    It was truly unbelievable that it could travel at such a high speed.

    A ray of golden light swept through the battlefield.

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength began to rush and circte within his body at high speed.

    He vanished into the shadows and also turned into a golden light ray.

    Gao Li who was positioned at the frontline of the battlefield had noticed the golden light that had appeared, and he was immediately alerted by it.

    ¡°It is the Golden Sand Worm Queen!¡±

    Gao Li wanted to retreat; however, it was toote!

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen was travelling too fast!

    As Gao Li thought that he had no chance of surviving from the hit, another golden light ray appeared and was travelling faster than the Golden Sand Worm Queen, the scene before him seemed to have be slow motion.

    Boom!

    Both sides collided into each other.

    Both of the shadows stopped and revealed themselves, it was the Golden Sand Worm Queen and Qin Feng.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng mmed down his palm and wed onto the Golden Sand Worm Queen.

    Boom!

    An insane amount of internal strength output was channelled onto the Golden Sand Worm Queen, it was unable to withstand the hit from the palm and instantly exploded.

    The shapeshifting effect had instantly disappeared upon the death of the Golden Sand Worm Queen while its shrunken body expanded.

    Amidst the chaos, a beast king core had drawn every attention from its surroundings with its glimmering glow under the sun.

    Qin Feng grabbed onto it with one hand.

    It was at that moment; another hand reached out simultaneously.

    It was Lei Chang!

    Lei Chang had been patiently waiting for this moment!

    However, he did not think that Qin Feng would be one step ahead.

    His sword was immediately drawn out and aimed toward Qin Feng¡¯s arm.

    Boom!

    The internal strength of the sword sparked and a deafening sound of collision was heard as it collided onto Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength barrier.

    ¡°Gather!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately retrieved the core from the Golden Sand Worm Queen and kept it within his spatial rune equipment.

    Then, Qin Feng red at Lei Chang with an intense urge to kill.

    Swoosh!

    Qin Feng drew out his Verdant Emperor Saber from his spatial rune equipment, torrential mes surged from the saber as they were triggered by his internal strength.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    ¡°Lei Sword!¡±

    Lei Chang was infuriated and forced himself to confront Qin Feng directly.

    Boom!

    Internal strengths collided with each other.

    mes were met with thunder, and both of them sparkled with blue and purplish white light rays simultaneously, although it was a short-lived blinding moment, the thunder sparks were soon overpowered by the blue mes.

    The oue of the battle had spoken for itself.

    Lei Chang stood no chance in taking Qin Feng down.

    Soon, after the collision of both internal strengths, both weapons crossed into a confrontation.

    Lei Chang seemed to be insanely agitated.

    As a member of the corporation, he still could not believe he would have such a regretful weaponry.

    The next moment had instantly left Lei Chang stunned and speechless.

    Dong!

    Both weapons collided, and Lei Chang¡¯s weapon was halved, while Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber instantly slit through Lei Chang¡¯s neck!

    ¡°Ugh...¡± Lei Chang wanted to speak; however, he had lost every bit of his strength, he looked upward as his vision spiralled continuously.

    His skull had beenpletely detached from his body.

    Lei Chang did not even have the ability to cross his sword with Qin Feng, and he was instantly served with Qin Feng¡¯s beheading!

    Lei Chang was dead!!!

    Qin Feng activated his internal strength silently and absorbed every bit of internal strength that was dispersing from Lei Chang, although physical contact might have been a more effective absorbent, however, Qin Feng had still managed to take up to eighty percent of it.

    It was at that moment, outer shells and the golden fleshes of the golden sand worms were looted by other aptitude users as they stared at Qin Feng like a pack of hungry wolves.

    Soon, all of them caught a cold chill running down their spines.

    Lei Chang¡¯s body that fell t on the ground had caught them off guard.

    What had happened within the short moment?

    Did Lei Chang die for real?

    ¡°Commander!¡± Lin Shi was infuriated, as it was unexpected that Lei Chang would have such a tragic ending.

    He immediately targeted his vision onto Qin Feng.

    ¡°It¡¯s you, you killed ourmander!¡± Lin Shi let out a raging roar.

    Qin Feng replied with a simr voicebined with his internal strength.

    ¡°What can you do about that?¡± Qin Feng shouted, ¡°I did not go through the difficult battle just for the sake of benefiting all of you, now, everyone that has gotten the flesh of the Golden Sand Worm Queen, return it for standardized distribution after the battle, or else, I would assure all of you a merciless massacre!¡±

    Everyone in the surroundings was shocked and trembled in fear.

    ¡°Mr Qin, I agree!¡±

    Gao Li was the first to stand out as he was just saved by Qin Feng, he was the closest with the Golden Sand Worm Queen, and he had gotten himself a huge piece of flesh that had exploded from the dead queen.

    The Golden Sand Worm Queen core was worth around five billion while the flesh and outer shells differed in value, and all of them would have abined value of at least fifteen billion, any single piece of flesh could be worth more than one billion!

    Gao Li was fine with it as he knew that Qin Feng would not mistreat any of them.

    With an initiator among the crowd, the remaining members from the Freemen Alliance trusted Qin Feng collectively handed out their loot.

    Qin Feng pointed his weapon toward the members of the Leitang Organization.

    ¡°Do you all wish to join yourmander?¡±

    Everyone panicked and had cold sweats.

    Qin Feng¡¯s dominance was insanely overpowering!

    Despite being at the same hierarchy, they had no chance in defeating Qin Feng.

    They had no choice but to hold their grudges against Qin Feng as they knew that Qin Feng meant what he had just said.

    As he was already capable of taking down themander, would they not be an easier target for him?

    Moreover, Lin Shi had also remained silent and refrained from going against Qin Feng.

    The chaotic moment had a brief pause as everyone took out their items that were looted from the queen and handed them over to Bai Li who collected every one of them.

    ¡°Continue the siege and kill every remaining golden sand worm!¡±

    Qin Feng ordered.

    Everyone followed the order while those that were agitated by Qin Feng had no choice but to channel all their anger toward the golden sand worms.

    Without the support of the queen, there were merely thousands of worms left, and soon, they were all being annihtedpletely by the forces.

    Although there might be one or two that had managed to escape, it was highly unlikely for them to form a new n within a short period of time.

    It was safe to say that it was a sessful operation!

    The battlested for more than ten hours and only ended during sunset, everyone was extremely exhausted.

    However, none of them left, and everyone looked toward Qin Feng.

    It seemed that everyone was waiting for the distribution from Qin Feng.

    There were ten D-tiers that had died from the battle, while the majority from the one hundred fifty people left were from the Freemen Alliance.

    Hu Liang and Yan Fang approached Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng knew what they were up to, however, he had no interest in having any discussions with them.

    He did not even want to favor anyone at the surroundings.

    Qin Feng evaluated the situation around him and spoke. ¡°The sudden outburst situation was originally participated by more than forty aptitude users from the Freemen Alliance and myself, our hard-fought battle for the past eight days had annihted ten thousand worm beasts, and I believe all of you have heard of this aplishment!¡±

 Chapter 346 - Profit Distribution

    <h4>Chapter 346: Profit Distribution</h4>

    Everyone from the Freemen Alliance was feeling delighted and assured with their share of the loot.

    Obviously, Qin Feng sounded as if he would favor them when ites to distributing the loot.

    In contrast, other aptitude users seemed to be dissatisfied with the oue, however, they still had huge respect and reverence toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s capability was indeed overpowered!

    Without the presence of Qin Feng, they could forget about killing the queen and should be grateful that they were not annihted by the worm queen instead!

    Qin Feng had the absolute right with his actions!

    Those who had understood the rationale behind would honor the decision.

    ¡°Without them, the number of ten thousand worm beasts would not be the maximum of what we encountered, it might have been up to twenty thousand. Although General Hu Liang from Shadong Town had the absolute right to segregate heavybat forces that took care of the worms, however, there wasn¡¯t much contribution in terms of facing the worm queen, am I right!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at Hu Liang.

    Hu Liang had obviously wanted items from the worm queen.

    However, he was clear about hisck in power and knew that he had contributed too little to ask for his share.

    Qin Feng continued, ¡°Well, I will divide the items into ten portions, and General Hu will get to distribute two portions, what do you think? And you will have to decide how to distribute what you get!¡±

    Hu Liang frowned and cursed at Qin Feng from the bottom of his heart for his cunning act.

    It was indeed a disaster that hade out of nowhere.

    The two portions from the items were worth about four billion, however, it had to be distributed to more than hundreds of people.

    While Qin Feng had the remaining eight portions of the items, and he would only need to distribute it among forty people, hence, it was very obvious which side was getting the most out of it.

    ¡°Alright, I agree!¡±

    Qin Feng then looked at Yan Fang.

    ¡°During the battle against the worm queen, I cooperated with the Freemen Alliance and contributed the most. If it weren¡¯t because of everyone else, it would have been impossible to lure out the Golden Sand Worm Queen, therefore, I will distribute two portions that would be divided among everyone, agree?¡±

    In other words, each person would only get a hundred million worth of flesh from the worm queen.

    While Qin Feng had of course nned to save all of the energy cores for Bai Li!

    ¡°Alright, it is an easy hundred million, at least the beast king materials are worth much more than that, and each of it can be devoured or be used for rune equipment enhancement!¡± Chen Xiang took the lead to agree with the deal.

    ¡°Me too!¡±

    ¡°Agree!¡±

    ¡°Of course, Mr Qin has the absolute right to totally exclude us from the distribution, as we were also assisted during the killings of the golden sand worms!¡±

    The crowd began to express their agreement.

    Yan Fang was left with no other choice but to force a smile and nod in agreement!

    Being the manager of the Freemen Alliance, should he not be the one distributing the loot?

    How could he allow even distribution of the items where everyone was only left with a hundred million each?

    Yan Fang had the idea of getting Qin Feng to give half of the items including the beast king core, who would have ever known that it would end up this way.

    He did not understand why everyone would conform to such an agreement, perhaps they were afraid of confronting Qin Feng.

    ¡°Since everyone has agreed, I¡¯ll honor the decision then!¡± Yan Fang forced himself to conform.

    Qin Feng nodded and replied, ¡°Later on, I will get someone to itemize everything and pass them to General Hu and Mr Yan, and both of you shall do the distribution!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡± Yan Fang had something in mind, he could still make use of the remaining items to his advantage.

    ¡°If there is nothing else, everyone shall dismiss now!¡± Hu Liang ordered and the crowd began to leave.

    Hu Liang felt worried and looked toward Qin Feng. ¡°Mr Qin, everyone saw that you were the one who killed Lei Chang, and it could mean trouble to you!¡±

    Qin Feng replied calmly, ¡°He was just too weak!¡±

    He could not even withstand one hit from Qin Feng¡¯s saber.

    Hu Liang was left speechless and jealous as Qin Feng was indeed too powerful.

    ¡°You¡¯ve got a point, however, the Leitang Organization would not ept such an answer for the death of their member!¡± Hu Liang warned.

    ¡°Well, then they can juste to me!¡±

    Qin Feng had no fear toward the Leitang Organization.

    Even if they were to send a C-tier aptitude user, he could still evade from the battle and escape.

    ¡°Alright. I am just giving you a heads up to be more cautious, they might even assassinate you without any warning!¡±

    ¡°I can just leave this ce and go somewhere else, I can be anywhere, why should I care?¡±

    Qin Feng remained calm and smiled, he would rather have the three months for himself and not be required to fulfil the mandatory besiege that was outlined by the Human Alliance.

    Furthermore, it was insanely taxing for the others to achieve tens of thousands of killings within eight days, and they might not even be able to achieve it within three months.

    Qin Feng returned to the Shadong Town and handed over the items to Han Nuan so that she could take care of them.

    The intense battle was exhausting, and Qin Feng needed to get some rest!

    However, Qin Feng was only uninterrupted for a day before someone else came for him.

    It was Chen Xiang!

    Besides, there were also Gao Li and five others.

    Qin Feng had known them briefly as they were once his partners, and he could still recall their names.

    Qin Feng weed them into his apartment and served them drinks.

    ¡°What brings you guys here? nning to throw a feast? For celebration?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Pfft, what is there to celebrate? We wasted all of our past efforts!¡± Gao Liined.

    Qin Feng was puzzled and looked at them, as for the past seven to eight days, every D-tier aptitude users had been putting in hard work that could easily be rewarded with a hundred D-tier ultra beasts a day, whilebined with other E-tiers, they would most probably end up with a hundred million, and that had yet to include the extra hundred million that was already distributed by him yesterday.

    After all, there should not be any losses.

    Chen Xiang alerted Gao Li with a kick and continued to exin to Qin Feng, ¡°It was Yan Fang, as you have outlined yesterday, everyone should have been allocated with a hundred million each, however, Yan Fang changed his mind as soon as he was handed over with the loots, it was then distributed ording to level of contribution, and he favored those that have close rtionships with him.¡±

    Qin Feng was shocked when he heard about it.

    He had some water and continued to ask, ¡°Brother Chen, are you trying to persuade me to redeem justice for the others?¡±

    Gao Li seemed to agree with the statement, while the others had high expectations as they looked at Qin Feng.

    It was only Chen Xiang that forced a smile and replied, ¡°I do think that it is unnecessary to do so!¡±

    After all, Yan Fang was a D8-tier ancient warrior, and it would not be easy to go against him.

    Qin Feng let out augh and replied as he looked at them, ¡°Well, it seems that the Freemen Alliance has also been disbanded?¡±

    ¡°It was merely a verbal agreement after all!¡± Gao Li replied.

    Qin Feng continued, ¡°I do think that you guys are trying to act dumb! With my current young age, I could already point out that there is something sketchy going on, and it would be impossible for all of you to be unaware of it, what are your intentions with me? Are you guys hoping that I would lead everyone to form another new alliance?¡±

    It was rather awkward that Qin Feng already knew what they were up to.

    Qin Feng chuckled and tabled out everything that they had in mind.

    ¡°Yan Fang has the capability of a D8-tier, and he could potentially achieve C-tier in the future, to be honest, the ultimate purpose for him to form the Freemen Alliance was only to recruit potential henchmen for himself, some may think that they might have a better future by following his footsteps, hence, they would rather get close to him, and he would reward them with favor.¡±

    Gao Li was dissatisfied and annoyed. ¡°We wanted to serve him, however, at the very least, he should be fair in his distribution! It is totally hical to bribe others with the loot that was given by you!¡±

    ¡°That is true, however, didn¡¯t he just face the consequences? The alliance has already been disbanded!¡±

    Qin Fengughed and answered.

 Chapter 347 - Alliance Disbandment, Proposal Rejection

    <h4>Chapter 347: Alliance Disbandment, Proposal Rejection</h4>

    ¡°It¡¯s true!¡± Chen Xiang nodded and admitted to the fact.

    It was totally urate to say so, however, the n where they worked together as the Freemen Alliance for the past few months had fallen apart on its own.

    ¡°What is your next move, Qin Feng? Form a team!¡¯ Gao Li continued his question immediately.

    Qin Feng barely smiled as he knew that Gao Li had wanted to ask about this.

    Perhaps, this might be part of their n.

    A powerful figure to secure for themselves a reliable protection.

    They had done the same thing when they got close with Yan Fang.

    Battle in the wilderness would be less risky when there was reliable backup, especially when faced against another powerful opponent.

    They were enjoying the assurance provided by Yan Fang; however, they did not want to bear the responsibility and be his henchmen.

    Would things really go their way?

    ¡°I do not have ns for now, as I could easily harm others with my usual battle style, therefore, I would prefer to act alone!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s a great idea too!¡± Chen Xiang nodded and remained silent, as he was more familiar with Qin Feng than the others, he knew that Qin Feng only aimed for the beast king core during thest joint forces cooperation.

    Joint forces were never about the amount of worm beast kills that could be secured, in another way, it was aimed to refrain the others from getting into Qin Feng¡¯s way as he looted during the end of the battle.

    This time, the Leitang Organization had encountered a rare and huge loss.

    After all, Qin Feng had yed a crucial role in decision making, while the others also had a certain amount of hidden dominance in the situation.

    Everyone moved on to some other casual chats and ended up with nothing definite with the suggestion that they had.

    Qin Feng was able to be more casually engaged.

    However, the death of Lei Chang was also a show of dominance from Qin Feng to the others!

    The others would have to think twice before acting against Qin Feng if they were to engage in a battle against him in the future.

    After the battle, Qin Feng did not request any report ns from Hu Liang, and he went into the inner North Sea Desert with Bai Li.

    There were countless ultra beasts within the desert and the majority of them were Insectoids.

    Amidst the ultra beast tide, it was as if Qin Feng had be a dragon that was roaming freely in a wide ocean.

    There would be killings repeated everyday to enhance his own capabilities.

    However, it was a horrible situation for beast kings among the North Sea Desert.

    ***

    A gigantic mutated cactus nt within the desert had copsed.

    It was a D-tier mutated nt king, however, Qin Feng had uprooted the entire nt as he sought after spines that were highly valuable, while the stem was also incredibly delicious, and it was evenparable with spirit herbs.

    Moreover, a water-element-based D-tier beast king core was also within the body of the mutated nt.

    Qin Feng had now imed all of them for himself!

    ***

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    A brown beast-king-tier sand snake let out its miserable shriek, it was about fifty meters in length.

    The snake that had always been an overlord was now faced with a powerful opponent.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber was glowing with blue lights while mes rained down a deadly hit onto the weak spot of the gigantic snake.

    It struggled and suffered for a moment, and its movement began to slow down, until it lost itsst breath.

    Qin Feng skinned the gigantic snake andpletely took away every single one of its tendons.

    ***

    Horrifying screams were heard within a pitch-ck underground tunnel, it was a gigantic ck worm queen.

    ***

    Under the night skies, hunters crawled out from a hidden spot and appeared in the dark, however, they were annihted before they could even extend their sharpened ws.

    ***

    Half a month had passed, Qin Feng was at his apartment while Han Nuan was reporting recent trades to him.

    ¡°...well, total ie for the month would be 57.2 billion.¡± Han Nuan had already gone through the numbers a hundred times to make sure there was not any mistake.

    It was surprising that he had already taken care of such an unbelievable number of items within just a month.

    Qin Feng nodded and answered, ¡°That¡¯s not bad, take this as your reward then!¡±

    He handed out flesh from the worm queen, although it might be weaker whenpared to any other ultra beast king, however, worm queens had high conscious energy, without any abilities, all of their conscious energy was embedded within their flesh.

    It was indeed a beneficial reward for Han Nuan!

    ¡°Thank you, Boss!¡±

    Han Nuan was instantly delighted with the reward.

    ¡°Alright, carry on with your tasks, I am about to head out now!¡±

    Qin Feng had to meet with Lu Wanbao.

    While Han Nuan continued to sort out ordinary materials that Qin Feng had obtained from his hunts, the trade between Qin Feng and Lu Wanbao had never stopped.

    Within half a month, Qin Feng had already taken down four beast kings and passed on the materials to Wanzong, and those items were worth about one hundred twenty billion.

    Hence, Qin Feng had built up his credit limits at Wanzong to an extremely high amount, and he was also rewarded with premium services.

    This time around, Qin Feng was going to trade for the D-tier beast king energy cores that he had gotten Lu Wanbao to collect!

    Most of the items obtained from Qin Feng¡¯s hunts were ability cores worth three times more than an energy core, they were all exchanged directly with cash.

    Both of them were satisfied with their trade partnership.

    Although Lu Wanbao had not found out the reason for Qin Feng to seek after such a huge number of beast king cores, he had profited a huge sum from the past half month.

    ¡°Before I forget, Mr Qin, I have news about the Blue me Peacock Emperor feathers that you were looking to sell, somebody has reached out to me, and I have it sorted out for you!¡±

    Lu Wanbao spoke as he took out hismunicator and sent across an image to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng took a nce and was rather surprised by it. ¡°Sun steel?¡±

    It was a fire element that was simr with the star steel, and it was scorching hot.

    Upon melting, it could also be used in creating outstanding weaponry.

    Furthermore, it was totally irreceable.

    However, it was not an easy task to achieve its melting point, and the high cost of production was also unaffordable by many.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, the sun steel is about 2 kilograms in weight, slightlyrger than its average size, however, the seller has requested for every single one of your remaining Blue me Peacock Emperor feathers, and that would be worth about...¡±

    It was not a fair trade; Qin Feng would definitely be at a loss if he were to incur the costs of manufacturing the outstanding weaponries!

    However, Qin Feng had the Magical Tesseract with him.

    ¡°Deal!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll make the contact now, hold on for half an hour for me!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, alright!¡±

    Qin Feng waited in the special guest room along with Bai Li, they were entertained by films provided by Wanzong.

    ***

    It was at that moment, within the Four Cities of the North Sea, the Xue family paid respects to their great ancestor, the family was now left with much fewer members, and they were living within a small ancient vige.

    Xue Jinkuang was the head of the family, a C-tier aptitude user.

    He had a head full of grey hair, and without any proper attire, he still looked exceptionally young.

    He looked as if he was only twenty years old.

    The Blood Secret Art had sessfully restored his youth.

    Of course, Xue Jinkuang had to absorb arge amount of blood to maintain the secret art.

    ¡°How was the investigation?¡± Xue Jinkuang asked briefly.

    ¡°All sorted out!¡± Xue Yumang, the fourth elder of the Xue family, was standing before Xue Jinkuang.

    As the search on the Tangshan Mountain hade to an end, Xue Yumang was able to return to the Xue family to take charge of the situation.

    ¡°That Bloodhunter that came earlier has already disappeared without a trace, perhaps he might be avoiding revenge from our family, however, before he left, he has sold every item to the underground ck market at the Three Cities along the Sun, the influential owner behind it is Qin Feng!¡±

 Chapter 348 - A Familiar Face

    <h4>Chapter 348: A Familiar Face</h4>

    ¡°Qin Feng.¡± Xue Jingkuang actually found the name quite familiar.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, he¡¯s the one who took the Blue me Peacock Emperor crystal core, able to do ancient martial arts as well as use abilities. Someone who isn¡¯t easy to deal with!¡±

    Xue Jingkuang sneered, ¡°Can¡¯t let someone like that profit from everything!¡±

    ¡°Yes, why is this kid the one reaping all the benefits? Not only that, he has the secret of the Overcast Dragon, which Bloodhunter probably sold to him, and not only that he has pristine lotus seeds too! And the things that Bloodhunter ripped from our household was also sold in that underground ck market!¡±

    Those things had even attracted a few D-tier powerhouses, but nobody dared to go to the Fengli colony to cause trouble. After all, Qin Feng was the one who obtained the Blue me Peacock Emperor crystal core and mutated his fire ability into blue fire, meaning that he was not someone to be trifled with.

    ¡°Oh!¡± Xue Jingkuang contemted the issue, trying to figure out if it was worth it or not.

    Xue Yumang got increasingly heated as he continued to speak.

    ¡°And I¡¯ve heard from someone that Qin Feng had hunted and killed many beast kings, and made a deal with Wanzhong to exchange for two hundred billion worth of beast king crystal cores!¡±

    That made Xue Jingkuang¡¯s eyes instantly glint.

    ¡°Are you sure about this news?¡±

    ¡°Eighty percent, the trade is happening today. Until now, I still don¡¯t know why someone would want so many crystal cores!¡± Xue Yumang said, looking very agitated. ¡°But, that two hundred billion is in his ount. If we were to kill him, we would receive nothing. Now, he¡¯s using it to buy crystal cores...¡±

    In other words, killing Qin Feng was basically having two hundred billion yuan drop from the skies.

    Now that really got Xue Jingkuang¡¯s interest.

    A C-tier aptitude user¡¯s ie was not very stable. Between battling and adventuring, there simply would not be enough disposable ie for half a year, and if there were enough, it would have been spent within a year.

    ording to the price of C-tier ultra beast materials, a C-tier ultra beast general crystal core would be around twenty million while a C-tier ultra beast king crystal core was about thirty billion.

    Two hundred billion, that was close to seven C-tier ultra beast king crystal cores.

    All he needed to do was to kill one person and that would save him years of hard work. That was like a free lunch.

    Xue Jingkuang was very tempted by the idea and at the same time, jealous of Qin Feng.

    ¡°This Qin Feng must still have some special talent, if not, it would be impossible to obtain such a vast amount of wealth. This is worth my time to take action!¡±

    Greed shed across Xue Yumang¡¯s eyes.

    However, the Xue family was a dark ancient warrior family, tyranny and robbery were things all toomon for them.

    This time, they were merely aiming for arger target.

    ***

    In Shadong Town, Qin Feng and Lu Wanbao shook hands.

    ¡°Qin Feng, please take care of our business if you can in the future!¡±

    ¡°Naturally! Thank you too!¡±

    As Lu Wanbao watched Qin Feng leave, he was thinking about how enigmatic the man was.

    ¡°If this guy grows up well, he¡¯s definitely going to be a really, really important person!¡±

    However, growing up in the end times was a difficult task, there were many dangers in the wilderness and people were not afraid of trying to kill each other.

    Qin Feng was quite happy at that time, driving the Silver Bolt back to their apartment with Bai Li.

    ¡°Do you think you can be a C-tier in one go? After that I don¡¯t need to worry about you!¡±

    Bai Li became D-tier within a month, now Qin Feng hadpletely emptied out his ount, even using the tens of billions he had brought over from before. He instantly became a pauper, but if Bai Li became C-tier that would be double insurance for him.

    That night, Qin Feng let Bai Li enter the Battlegod Tomb. For the next two to three days, she would not leave the area.

    Qin Feng did not sit around idling either, the next day he went out to hunt.

    Beep beep.

    Hismunicator began to ring loudly, realizing that it was an emergency signal from Shadong Town the moment he looked down.

    ¡°D-tier ultra beast general attacking Shadong Town. Calling all D-tiers to return. Calling all D-tiers to return.¡±

    Shandong Town really was a ce that could be destroyed at any moment.

    Qin Feng was not too far from Shadong Town and did not take out Cloud Nine. Instead he activated his ability, causing a pair of bright blue phoenix-like wings to burst out behind him as he soared toward Shadong Town.

    Within three to four minutes, Qin Feng could see the town¡¯s buildings, not only that, he could also see a group of massive creatures.

    ¡°Mammothpede!¡±

    A mammoth was a megafauna from a distant ancient time, it looked like an elephant but had long, shaggy hair andrger tusks.

    This kind of insectoid had simr traits to a mammoth, but instead of four legs, they had squirming bodies like that of a millipede, bearingrge tusks and were covered in shaggy hair.

    They had immense physical strength and an astonishing food intake, they also traveled in herds.

    At a nce, there were about a hundred of them, one of which was a beast general.

    Crack crack!

    The stones on the ground were getting cracked by their stampede. Each of them were the size of a minivan.

    As for the beast general, it was the size of a truck.

    ¡°Tut tut tut tut!¡±

    Countless artillery fire began to cover this group of ultra beasts, with dposition sters cutting into the creatures¡¯ bodies.

    A mammothpede locked onto a target and began to charge, countless insectoid legs pushing it forward like a freight train.

    A tusk pierced through the body of a person who did not have enough time to escape.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    The person was pierced through the waist, guts and all spilling out.

    With a shake of its head, the body was flung into the stampeding herd, disappearing among them in the blink of an eye.

    The battlefield was extremely cruel.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Art!¡¯

    Qin Feng was one hundred meters away from the insectoid herd, mobilizing his consciousness and unleashing a blue ming dragon toward the ground.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The dragon wrapped itself around the beast general¡¯s body and tightened its grip.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber and shed down toward the beast general¡¯s nk.

    ¡°Psst...¡±

    A tender white liquid spewed out from its body!

    The beast general¡¯s body was split in half by a single blow from Qin Feng!

    The creature still wanted to fight back, but Qin Feng was too strong and it definitely was unable to defend itself in this situation. After another quick sh, the creature was taken care of.

    That fight was over in the matter of seconds.

    Then, Qin Feng began to wreak havoc upon the field, and within a few minutes, the only things left in the desert near Shadong Town were the massive bodies of the ultra beasts.

    ¡°Qin Feng! After you¡¯ve arrived in Shadong Town, things have gotten a lot easier!¡±

    Hu Liang walked over with a bright smile on his face, he had expected a hard fight but as soon as Qin Feng arrived, the load was lightened by arge margin!

    ¡°It¡¯s what I¡¯m supposed to do,¡± Qin Feng stated.

    At this moment, Qin Feng could acutely sense that someone had locked onto him with a malicious gaze!

    He was surprised!

    He looked up and found himself looking at a familiar face!

 Chapter 349 - Lei Chen and Interrogation

    <h4>Chapter 349: Lei Chen and Interrogation</h4>

    It turned out to be Sea City¡¯s mayor, Lei Chen.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯ve got a lot of nerve!¡±

    Lei Chen looked furious, not even trying to hide the anger in his gaze.

    ¡°Hasn¡¯t Mayor Lei already seen just how much nerve I have back in Tangshan Ridge?¡± Qin Feng gave him a coy smile.

    If it were not for nerves, how could he take on beast kings?

    If it were not for nerves, how could he have instigated a battle between the beast kings and the beast emperor?

    If it were not for nerves, how could he have intimidated every D-tier that tried to force their way on him?

    Lei Chen¡¯s expression dropped like it was molten iron, he was fiercely staring at Qin Feng but could not find a single hint of a flustered look on Qin Feng¡¯s face.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you really not afraid of Leitang?¡±

    Lei Chang was dead so Lei Chen came over to take over the Leitang Organization, the news he heard was of grudges and of revenge.

    But when it came to facing down Qin Feng, he was not very confident. However, a man still needed to put on a front and do what should have been done.

    ¡°If you want to make someone scared, then you should have some power. You¡¯re just a cat draped in tiger skin, nothing you have is worth my fear!¡± Qin Feng boomed.

    As the sun set, Qin Feng¡¯s tall figure began to glow with a murderous look, as scarlet as the setting sun as the sunset¡¯s light shone on his face.

    p! p! p!

    A pping sound suddenly rang out. A slow, sarcastic pping sound.

    Everyone subconsciously shifted their eyes in that direction. In the corpse-riddled wilderness, the sound of this apuse was very ear-piercing.

    A young man with white hair and piercing eyes caught Qin Feng¡¯s attention. At that moment, Qin Feng¡¯s pupils abruptly shrank.

    ¡°Oh how brave you are, looks like even the Xue family can¡¯t put fear in you!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    Xue Jinkuang!

    Why did hee here?

    Did Bloodhunter¡¯s identity get exposed?

    His mind was reeling.

    At this moment, Xue Jinkuang was already nearby. The distance between them was only about ten meters.

    This was a very dangerous distance.

    Qin Feng slowly straightened his back, like he was pulling a bowstring, making himself taut.

    Facing a C-tier was something that Qin Feng did not want to take lightly.

    ¡°Qin Feng, everything that belongs to the Xue family are things not easily taken. Everything that Bloodhunter had, hand it over. Then, I¡¯ll ask our head to spare your life!¡±

    That came from Xue Yumang, who was standing beside Xue Jinkuang, who said it in a threatening voice.

    After hearing that, Qin Feng concluded that the Xue family did not know Bloodhunter¡¯s true identity. Xue Yumang¡¯s words had another meaning, it was to introduce Xue Jinkuang¡¯s identity.

    Xue Jinkuang, the Head of the Xue family, a C-tier powerhouse.

    Everyone around them started to chatter.

    ¡°He¡¯s Xue Jinkuang!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is there a C-tier here?¡±

    ¡°What do you mean what¡¯s going on? Isn¡¯t it obvious? Qin Feng¡¯s in trouble!¡±

    Dark ancient warrior families would have been persecuted in the past, hunted down and killed off if that were possible. However, in the end times, human lives were worthless and nobody was willing to risk it to hold some desperate and lousy belief in justice.

    Only when it was profitable, people would go after such families. When it was not, people would prefer to just avoid them.

    Now that a strong C-tier had appeared, that was enough to make everyone nearby move further away and hide in a safe ce!

    At this time, Xue Jinkuang waved his hand. His movement was slow and graceful, it was at that moment that people could see that he had the air of a weather-beaten senior.

    ¡°Don¡¯t say that. I¡¯m not likely to go so far as to murder someone, as long as Mr. Qin is willing to give back the items!¡±

    ¡°Bloodhunter¡¯s things? I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about!¡±

    Even if Qin Feng knew, he would still act as if he did not know anything.

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t pretend to be oblivious. Bloodhunter escaped to the Three Cities along the Sun and sold things in your underground ck market. You have pristine lotus seeds, learned the Overcast Dragon technique and you drive around a Silver Bolt! That¡¯s all the things that Bloodhunter gave to you!¡± Xue Yumang sharply retorted.

    Qin Feng did not hide these things. He openly used them so people would not be suspicious.

    Now that this was pointed out, Qin Feng understood the Xue family¡¯s n.

    This was a good cop, bad cop scenario. Temptation and threats.

    He replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know the guest¡¯s identity. Our underground ck market never asks about it. It¡¯s just your standard transaction!¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t need to know! Just the Xue family knowing is good enough!¡± Xue Yumang said with a sneer. ¡°Give us the items!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression became a slightly mocking one. ¡°If you want to buy something, you could have said so. You give the money and I¡¯ll give the items!¡±

    Of course, he was not going to yield to them so easily. There was not a single hint of softening in his attitude!

    ¡°Haha!¡± Xue Jinkuang began tough. ¡°It¡¯s been a few decades since someone dared to ask the Xue family for money!¡¯

    Qin Feng had a smirk forming at the corner of his mouth. ¡°That someone is right here!¡±

    Murderous intent flickered in Xue Jinkuang¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°It seems that I need to remind people just who makes the decisions in the Xue family, otherwise they would think that any random person could threaten my family!¡±

    Bloodhunter had already pummeled the Xue family¡¯s reputation into the ground, but Xue Jinkuang did not expect his arrival to not shock this D-tier aptitude user.

    He had no idea that this person in front of him was Bloodhunter, the very person that took on his family. Naturally, the person would not be afraid.

    ¡°Qin Feng, was it? I did say I wasn¡¯t going to kill you. You¡¯re Shadong Town¡¯s hero of the day after all! But, today, I think I¡¯ll just snap off one of your hands!¡±

    Xue Jinkuang¡¯s eyes were sharp and swept to Qin Feng¡¯s hands. He noticed that he was wearing a silver ornament on one of his wrists.

    Spatial buttons.

    How could a C-tier like him not recognize this kind of item from the very beginning? If he were to remove Qin Feng¡¯s hand, he would be able to get those spatial buttons as well.

    Killing two birds with one stone!

    With a cry, Xue Jinkuang was the first to make a move!

    A sea of blood suddenly filled everyone¡¯s vision.

    He moved abruptly and boldly. A C-tier had a deep pool of internal force!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was just liquid and only had around eleven groups, and was just a little bit above what could be considered as a deep pool. He was akin to an ancient warrior who had just recently reached C-tier.

    Xue Jinkuang was a C2-tier ancient warrior. His internal force was double that!

    He had Qin Feng beat in the internal force department.

    Qin Feng turned and ran without hesitation!

    Using qinggong, he frantically raced toward the direction of the North Sea Desert!

    ¡°Hmph? Trying to run? You could have at least left me a hand!¡±

    Xue Jinkuang¡¯s form flickered. He was giving chase and was much faster than Qin Feng.

    As the two started to move, they disappeared from the others¡¯ view in the blink of an eye.

    This caused an uproar among the people.

    ¡°Qin Feng¡¯s going to die!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the tallest trees that get their tops blown off!¡±

    ¡°I think it¡¯s because they want his wealth and don¡¯t want to expose their own!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s saying that going to do?¡±

    At this point, Hu Liang also had a sullen expression.

    Ever since Qin Feng came, he had been relieved of a lot of work. He even wanted to suggest to his superiors to make Qin Feng the new general of Shadong Town as the man would be an incredible force to be reckoned with in the war that the Four Cities were fighting.

    Who would have thought that the Xue family would be so tyrannical!

    The sun was setting and the sky was starting to get dark, but the cat and mouse chase between Xue Jinkuang and Qin Feng had just begun!

    ¡°Qin Feng, why bother struggling?¡±

    Xue Jinkuang¡¯s speed was incredibly fast and he was already ten meters behind Qin Feng.

    In the next moment, a w made out of blood swiped at him!

 Chapter 350 - The C-Tier Gives Chase

    <h4>Chapter 350: The C-Tier Gives Chase</h4>

    In the air, the blood w seemed to be blurry, but the scent of blood could be detected from the Sanguine w.

    A terrifying wave of internal force was being emitted from it.

    Qin Feng knew that he could not lose this time. If he were caught by his opponent, even if he did not die, he would at least have his skin peeled off.

    He activated his internal force to surround himself with it. It was like ayer of ss as it merged together.

    Bang!

    When the Sanguine w collided with this shield, it copsed.

    The shield around Qin Feng¡¯s body copsed as well. That attack took one tenth of Qin Feng¡¯s internal force to resist.

    ¡°Hmm?¡± Xue Jinkuang naturally did not expect this to be the case. After all, Qin Feng was only a D-tier aptitude user and Xue Jinkuang had used one twentieth of his own power in that attack. That was like a D1-tier aptitude user going in at full force!

    That did not even break Qin Feng¡¯s internal power.

    ¡°Heh. Interesting. If that¡¯s your trump card, Qin Feng, then you¡¯re really underestimating me!¡±

    Xue Jinkuang elerated again.

    But this time, a terrifying burst of magma rose out from the ground!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had surged!

    ¡°Magma Pir!¡±

    Boom!

    What felt like an earthquake was soon followed by a burst of mes. Xue Jinkuang did not stop, but instead stepped around this attack with a twirl of his form before once again chasing after Qin Feng.

    But Qin Feng was already one hundred meters away!

    Xue Jinkuang glowered but regained hisposure. His white hair flowed in the wind as his internal force surged.

    Once again his speed soared.

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng did not want to use Dragon Steps as that would exhaust his internal force, and internal force was the best way to deal with Xue Jinkuang.

    However, if he could not even put distance between himself and the man, the battle might as well be over!

    The two were in a mad dash forward, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was constantly being activated.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    The fire dragon burst out, but Xue Jinkuang did not even bother dodging and plowed through the dragon.

    ¡°Lets see what else you can do!¡± Xue Jinkuang cackled.

    ¡°Sanguine w!¡±

    Xue Jinkuang attacked again.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force trembled again, and anotheryer was removed from that blow.

    ¡°Fiery Peacock!¡±

    The blue peacock me red out.

    Xue Jinkuang¡¯s internal force was also being shaken time and time again under Qin Feng¡¯s assault.

    Qin Feng did not stop his attacks.

    ¡°Firebeam!¡±

    ¡°Impacting me!¡±

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    He was constantly manipting his runes with his consciousness,unching abilities one after another.

    When the runes dispersed after the impact and returned to his sphere of consciousness, Qin Feng reissued the previously activated ability.

    ¡°Magma Pir!¡±

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    ¡°Fiery Peacock!¡±

    Xue Jinkuang was being bombarded by an endless barrage of abilities and that was making him extremely irritable.

    Whoosh!

    Another object was sent directly at him, and he still moved forward without thinking.

    Pop!

    The ck t object instantlytched itself around Xue Jinkuang¡¯s internal force shield. It was only then he realized what it was.

    Click!

    Bzzzzzzt!

    A purple light burned his eyes as his internal force shield was sted with electricity.

    What Qin Feng just threw out was an electromaic explosive.

    That made Xue Jinkuang battered and exhausted. He had to drop his shield so that the electricity would stop, the clothes on his back had been scorched by the attack and his hair stood on their ends. He no longer seemed to have the elegance from before.

    He was on the verge of being driven insane.

    At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly appeared in front of Xue Jinkuang with a silverrge caliber pistol in his hand.

    Click!

    The sound of the trigger being pulled was heard.

    Xue Jinkuang instinctively dodged, but he then realized that the bullet Qin Feng fired was unusual and had a massive range!

    Suddenly, some kind of a white object flew toward his face. He wanted to rip it away but the object quickly stuck to his body.

    ¡°What is this?¡± He roared in frustration.

    Looking closely, he realized that this was only a spider web made out of F-tier materials!

    It was the silk of the Steel-limbed Broodmother.

    This item was low-level but when used in crucial moments, it could be extremely effective.

    ¡°B*stard!¡±

    Xue Jinkuang¡¯s internal force emerged and the spider silk that shrouded him was drenched in blood before being eroded away. When he had his vision back, Qin Feng was gone.

    He was seething with anger at this point. He was a C-tier, how could a D-tier manage to run circles around him?

    If Qin Feng were to really escape, he would be aughing stock.

    Using his consciousness to detect the surrounding auras, he once again resumed the chase.

    Qin Feng had sprinted for a kilometer and also shrouded his entire body in darkness, fading away into the night.

    Whoosh!

    He disappeared from where he stood.

    When he reappeared, his surroundings had changed. He was inside the Battlegod Tomb.

    The first thing he did was go to a meditation room.

    Without Qin Feng watching over her, Bai Li¡¯s promotion area was exchanged for a meditation room. When he looked around, he found that she was asleep!

    The box carrying crystal cores was empty, it seemed like all of the crystal cores had been eaten.

    Bai Li had ranked up too fast and needed rest. From the looks of it, Qin Feng had to face Xue Jinkuang all by himself!

    He found another meditation room and sat down.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    A whirlpool formed in his dantian, quickly picking up the energy around him in the meditation room and restoring him to his full strength.

    He did not dare stay in the Battlegod Tomb for long. If Xue Jinkuang were to actually lose the chase, who knew what manner of madness the man would bring.

    What if he was unsatisfied and went to the Fengli colony to massacre everyone there?

    That was the colony that he had built up, no one should be able to touch it.

    He picked up the Battlegod Token and exited the Tomb. In the next moment, he felt someone¡¯s consciousness lock on to his presence.

    That had to be Xue Jinkuang.

    Xue Jinkuang¡¯s consciousness was not strong, but ancient warriors had their own methods of detection. Little clues like the fluctuations of internal force and the shifting of runes could be targets of detection.

    Qin Feng had originally disappeared nearby, and Xue Jinkuang searched his surroundings but was unable to find a trace of him. Naturally, he was not going to just ept that. Experience told him that it was not time to leave just yet.

    As expected, Qin Feng reappeared.

    Xue Jinkuang made a mad dash toward him.

    Qin Feng put on a fierce look, pulling out the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    The third technique of the Sky Burning Sword Style had been activated.

    A straight line of mes rose into the air, internal force being quickly taken away!

    ¡°Blood Boiling Finger!¡±

    Xue Jinkuang also burst out a beam of terrifying internal force. It carried an unmistakable stench of blood, just a whiff of it would make anyone sick.

    Qin Feng had seen Xue Yuheng unleash the Blood Clotting Finger before, and this had to be a stronger version of that.

    Boom!

    The two internal forces collided with one another and a wave of energy suddenly burst out, washing everything around them with a wave of light.

    Qin Feng only detected the smell of something foul.

    ¡°Poison!¡±

    He held his breath, covered his nose and quickly backed away.

 Chapter 351 - Night-Time Assault

    <h4>Chapter 351: Night-Time Assault</h4>

    Xue Jinkuang let out a mad cackle, ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯ve just been hit by the Xue family¡¯s special poison. Wherever you go, the more internal force you use, the faster you¡¯ll die!¡±

    Qin Feng felt the bloody mist that he had identally inhaled colliding and causing havoc on his meridians.

    It was at this time that the meridians that were changed by his absorption ability revealed its power. His internal force flowed like a powerful river in every meridian, washing away the dangerous toxin in the blink of an eye.

    What was more, Qin Feng had an emperor-level body, so he could not be easily poisoned.

    Still, he was shaken after hearing the manicughter that his opponent let out. His speed slowed down and his body trembled.

    Xue Jinkuang once again rushed at him. ¡°It was good going at first! I just wanted your hand, but I¡¯m going to have to kill you now!¡±

    He thought that Qin Feng would grow too strong! From how he was, he would move into C-tier soon and when the timees to that Xue Jinkuang might not even be a match for him anymore.

    Because of this, it was better to just sever the problem by its roots! After all, he was already being offensive in the first ce, better to just kill him and avoid trouble in the future!

    ¡°Go to hell!¡± Xue Jinkuang abruptly struck out with a palm. ¡°Sanguine Palm!¡±

    It carried a pungent and powerful aura as it came toward Qin Feng.

    At this time, Qin Feng¡¯s aura had also changed!

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    The golden dragon¡¯s light erupted from his body, his internal force ringing out like a dragon¡¯s roar.

    Ka-boom!

    The two attacks collided with one another.

    As the internal force attacks mmed together, it began to create violent tremors as the energy was spread in all directions.

    Then, the attacks broke past their collision and affected the internal force that either have yet to use.

    Bang!

    Both Qin Feng and Xue Jinkuang felt their internal force shatter at the same time.

    Xue Jinkuang felt arge force impacting his body.

    Crack!

    From the impact, his shoulder des were shattered.

    Whereas on Qin Feng¡¯s end, he felt the internal force rush into his body, directly attacking his internal organs.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    Qin Feng coughed up a mouthful of blood.

    This was the first time he had suffered such a serious injury since his rebirth. As the familiar pain spread it only made Qin Feng more determined, but he knew that his injuries were far worsepared to Xue Jinkuang¡¯s.

    ¡®Move!¡¯

    Qin Feng did not stick around, his body was suddenly shrouded in darkness.

    Xue Jinkuang¡¯s eyes widened, sweeping his perception toward and past Qin Feng¡¯s direction, but he could find no traces of the other party.

    Just like that Qin Feng managed to evade him again.

    ¡°Tsk,¡± Xue Jinkuang inhaled sharply as he felt a stabbing paining from his shoulders. He had not experienced what pain was like for a very long time!

    ¡°Blood Cure!¡±

    Xue Jinkuang mobilized his internal force to heal his injuries. He knew that Qin Feng could not have gone far, but if he tried to chase the boy down that would only mean that he would get ambushed again.

    Going on a day-long wild goose chase, only to have his eyes pecked by the goose. He did not want that to happen again.

    This time, Qin Feng had not gone far.

    In the night, a pack of F-tier desert wolves was huddled together and lounging around arge yellow stone boulder. There were a total of thirty wolves, with two or three being beast generals.

    This number of wolves was considered a weak bunch in the North Sea Desert.

    Tock tock tock!

    A flurry of uneven steps could be heard. The wolf pack perked up their ears and sniffed the air. They had picked up the scent of freshly fallen blood.

    ¡°WOOO!¡±

    The pack leader howled out amand that rang through the night, gleefully rallying its pack to rush toward this sudden free dinner.

    Meanwhile, a pair of glowing red eyes stared out from the darkness.

    ¡°Come at me!¡±

    A smirk appeared at the corner of Qin Feng¡¯s mouth as he mobilized his consciousness.

    ¡°Darkness Pulse!¡±

    Arge, pitch-ck shadow suddenly surrounded the wolves, covering them entirely.

    ¡°Aowoo...¡±

    The wolves seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and let out a whimper that escted into a wail of horror.

    In the blink of an eye, the wolves¡¯ auras all dissipated as they copsed on the ground. Dead.

    Qin Feng felt a burst of strength enter his body, but instead of it being strengthened, he realized that it was quickly repairing his injuries.

    Xue Jinkuang was too good. The Sanguine Palm that he unleashed was at the peak of its potential.

    If Qin Feng did not have the body of a beast emperor, he would definitely be dead by now. Some of his internal organs had actually melted because of the attack, and if they did not heal, he might as well be a goner.

    Just one hit and Qin Feng was the one on the floor.

    His dantian only had one group of internal forces. If this group were not effectively replenished before it was consumed, Qin Feng would bepletely helpless.

    Fortunately, he had his absorption ability.

    Under the cover of darkness, Qin Feng used his perception to track down ultra beasts to hunt. F-tiers and E-tiers were all his targets. He preferred to not go after D-tiers at this time because he needed to recover, and he was not in the best physical condition.

    After half an hour, Xue Jinkuang followed the trail of blood Qin Feng left behind and eventually caught up with him.

    Both tried to attack one another the moment he spotted his opponent.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    ¡°Sanguine w!¡±

    The two attacks collided again and Qin Feng learned that Xue Jinkuang¡¯sbat prowess did not weaken at all while he was getting weaker himself.

    Boom!

    The battle between the two got fiercer and at that moment, countless insectoids began to surface. Obviously they had been disturbed by the battle between the two.

    The huge swarm rushed toward them.

    Xue Jinkuang¡¯s eyes widened while Qin Feng¡¯s eyes lit up.

    In an instant, Qin Feng disappeared again.

    ¡°Damn it!¡± Xue Jinkuang gave chase again, but Qin Feng had once again disappeared without a trace and the insectoids had locked onto Xue Jinkuang.

    He could only grit his teeth and flee the area, not wanting more trouble than it was worth.

    The battle between the two was put on hold again.

    ***

    After another half an hour, the two met again.

    During this battle, Xue Jinkuang managed to brush Qin Feng¡¯s arm with the Sanguine Palm.

    Qin Feng managed tond a hit with his fire ability, his Hell Magma sting Xue Jinkuang.

    The man lost all of his hair from that attack!

    Qin Feng took the split second to escape when the man was blinded by the mes.

    ***

    An hour or twoter, they shed again.

    They traded blow for blow, both dishing out and taking significant damage.

    Qin Feng sted a special bullet into the air and ended up attracting a herd of ultra beasts.

    He once again used the opportunity to escape!

    ***

    In a single night¡¯s time, the two had crossed fists seven to eight times.

    Each battle ended with Qin Feng escaping one way or the other.

    But if Xue Jinkuang could not find this tricky enemy, then he would not be considered a C-tier!

    ¡®It seems that Qin Feng has two abilities, he has a Dark ability. That must be why he can disappear into the darkness like that,¡¯ Xue Jinkuang thought to himself.

    While Xue Jinkuang knew of this ability now, he had no intention of telling other people. In his eyes, Qin Feng was already a dead man.

    Only the Human Alliance would take fame into consideration when they were trying to get someone.

    He was not like that. What was more, he was a C-tier, even if Qin Feng had the Dark ability he would not try to find someone stronger to deal with the whelp.

    The status of Xue Yumang and the others were beneath him, he had no need to report to anyone either.

    Qin Feng¡¯s abilities had not been exposed to the world yet.

    And on Qin Feng¡¯s end, after facing someone in battle using his Dark ability for such an extended period of time, his ideas had begun to change.

 Chapter 352 - A Matter of Life and Death

    <h4>Chapter 352: A Matter of Life and Death</h4>

    ¡°I¡¯ll use my Dark ability to kill Xue Jinkuang!¡±

    With that set in mind, he nned to act on that idea as soon as possible.

    However, what he did not expect was that Xue Jinkuang had changed his mind as well!

    ¡°Qin Feng has too much advantage at night, I¡¯ll fight him during the day!¡±

    After fighting for a day, both of them were tired!

    When Qin Feng ended up waiting thirty minutes for Xue Jinkuang, he also realized what his opponent hade up with.

    He did not try to find Xue Jinkuang, instead he hunted ultra beasts to replenish his energy and restore his body.

    ***

    The sun rose from the horizon, and another day of the morning light once again enveloped the North Sea Desert.

    Qin Feng was looking quite haggard by now. Because of the previously damagedbat uniform, he had not reced it with a better one. It had beenpletely destroyed after an entire night of fighting. He swapped into another set of clothes, but was unable to deal with the sand and dust in his hair and on his face.

    ¡°Return!¡±

    The dark fog gradually retracted back into his consciousness.

    On the ground in front of him was a pile of bleached white bones. His absorption ability had consumed everything his opponent had including its flesh and blood.

    Although his body had not returned to his peak state, most of his injuries had been healed!

    ¡°Now, it¡¯s time to fight to the death!¡±

    Qin Feng had a murderous look in his eyes.

    As he spread out his consciousness, he quickly locked onto Xue Jinkuang¡¯s position.

    At this moment, Xue Jinkuang was also on the move.

    Ancient warriors could replenish their energies by absorbing the aura from their natural surroundings. After sitting down for two hours, he was recharged from an entire day¡¯s exhaustion.

    He looked like he had not changed much since they first encountered, the Xue family¡¯s secret technique seemed to havepletely healed him from the damage he suffered the day before!

    Not only that, Xue Jinkuang¡¯s hate toward Qin Feng grew as time passed.

    A powerful and terrifying aura wafted in from the distance.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Xue Jinkuang immediately realized who it was. ¡°The nerve. I haven¡¯t gone to find you yet and you show up at my front door!¡±

    Qin Feng did not respond, pouring his internal force into the Verdant Emperor Saber as it ignited with a threatening fiery re.

    Xue Jinkuang readied himself at the same time.

    After fighting for a day, the two had a basic understanding of their opponent and had already nned out their moves ahead of time. Both of them had a concept in mind of how the other used their moves and just how strong their opponent was.

    With just one attack, both parties struck hard.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength burst out.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Xue Jinkuang struck out a palm toward Qin Feng¡¯s head.

    ¡°Phantom Motion Steps!¡±

    As Qin Feng retreated he continuously swung the Verdant Emperor Saber at Xue Jinkuang¡¯s body.

    ¡°Asura¡¯s Sanguine Palm!¡±

    Thest bits of Xue Jinkuang¡¯s patience had been worn away. The moment he unleashed his internal force, the moves he pulled out would be unique skills.

    Numerous red hands began to fall down from the sky, cascading down like a bloody rain with each of them mming into Qin Feng¡¯s after images.

    Then Xue Jinkuang suddenly felt a chilling from behind him. After so many years, the life and death situations he had been in had trained him to quickly dodge.

    From his shadow, a figure began to emerge. It was Qin Feng.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Qin Feng appeared behind Xue Jinkuang.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    A blow of internal force exploded outward, colliding with Xue Jinkuang¡¯s own.

    Pop!

    Xue Jinkuang¡¯s internal force aura was broken at that instant.

    A chance!

    Qin Feng pointed a finger toward him.

    ¡°Dark Ray!¡±

    The ray of darkness travelled at astonishing speed!

    Bam!

    The Dark Ray struck Xue Jinkuang¡¯s body and all he could feel was the malignant energy seeping into him, burrowing inside.

    Then he suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over him.

    ¡°What is this?¡±

    He had never seen such an ability before and was confused for a moment. The Dark Ray was like a poison, draining away his vitality.

    ¡°Scram!¡±

    He roared in frustration, internal force bursting through his body and scouring away the dark rune.

    Dark runes were still a kind of energy, it could still be brushed away by a huge wave of internal force!

    Not only that, Xue Jinkuang once again pulled up a shield of internal force around himself.

    ¡°Xue Jinkuang! You¡¯re getting old!¡± Qin Feng eximed.

    He was not just referring to the man¡¯s age. He was talking about the damage that the Dark ability just caused.

    From his originally twenty year old appearance, he looked like he had begun to age, wrinkles began to appear at the corner of his eyes and from the looks of it, he was looking like he was thirty now!

    His Blood Secret Art was being reversed.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Dark ability was meant to reduce someone¡¯s life force after all.

    Xue Jinkuang was furious.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re only just struggling on your deathbed. You think by having this ability, you can kill me? A thought from an idiotic dreamer!¡±

    This entire thing had driven Xue Jinkuang into an unending state of anger.

    He was a C-tier and he had spent an entire day¡¯s time chasing after Qin Feng.

    The most important thing was not just Qin Feng escaping, but the fact that Qin Feng had fought him seven to eight times.

    His hard bones and thick skin were driving Xue Jinkuang insane.

    His murderous intent was overwhelming, Qin Feng was like an annoying and hard to kill cockroach. He looked damaged before but now he looked like he had everything still intact!

    There was a trace of doubt in Xue Jinkuang¡¯s heart.

    Qin Feng naturally noticed this doubt and his eyes lit up with an astonishing eagerness.

    ¡°Then we¡¯ll see who wins and who loses and just who is the idiotic dreamer!¡±

    He chopped forward with the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Xue Jinkuang¡¯s attack flowed down like a bloody rain.

    Boom. Boom. Boom!

    The force put out by the sh between the two turned the area around them into a terrifying aptitude user¡¯s battlefield, sending rocks and sand flying. Lower rank ultra beasts dared not approach the area at all.

    With his internal strength being rapidly consumed, Qin Feng¡¯s dantian ended up bing empty!

    A C-tier powerhouse, his internal force was too overwhelming!

    Xue Jinkuang had twice as much strength as Qin Feng did, but he did not have the Asteroid Assimtion move or the absorption ability. As such, he would not have been able to recover his internal force as fast as Qin Feng did after one night.

    Before, he only had sixth tenths left of his internal force, which was two groups bigger than Qin Feng¡¯s.

    Now, Xue Jinkuang was also out of internal force.

    At the end of the fight, both sides were leftpletely depleted.

    He was suffering from all kinds of wounds and his body was wracked with pain.

    But victory was close.

    ¡°Xue Jinkuang, the time of the Xue family has passed!¡±

    He raised his weapon and rushed toward his opponent. The Verdant Emperor Saber no longer carried internal force, but Qin Feng¡¯s beast emperor level body contained tremendous power.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    As Qin Feng shed, one of Xue Jinkuang¡¯s arms were lopped off and sent flying.

    There was a sinister look on Xue Jinkuang¡¯s face.

    The man did not even look like he was in pain at all. Instead he pointed his remaining arm at Qin Feng and a red glow appeared from under his cuffs.

    Whoosh!

    Qin Feng suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his heart!

    His heart suddenly contracted!

    He looked down and realized that on his chest, where his heart would be, there was a blood red snake biting into him.

    This little snake was not high level, only E-tier and it was just a Beast King.

    If it were before, Qin Feng would have easily crushed this thing.

    But now, he was out of internal force and had mobilized his consciousness so much that he was getting a splitting headache. After battling Xue Jinkuang to this point, there was no more oil in themp and this little snake had just seriously injured him. Qin Feng only felt all the strength in his body suddenly copse away.

    ¡°Bloody Jade Snake!¡±

    He did not expect Xue Jinkuang to also rear ultra beasts.

    ¡°Hahaha!¡± Xue Jinkuang let out a mad cackle.

    Right now, he looked like he had advanced into his fifties, his body shriveling up from the effects of Qin Feng¡¯s Dark ability.

    It seemed that Xue Jinkuang had paid a heavy price as well.

    But the price was worth it! It was two hundred billion!

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re dead!¡±

 Chapter 353 - Bai Li Returns

    <h4>Chapter 353: Bai Li Returns</h4>

    Qin Feng felt that he had already done his best to survive this long.

    Although reviving gave Qin Feng a sufficiently huge advantage, it was not significant enough for Qin Feng to challenge someone above his tier.

    Hypothetically, if Qin Feng had reached D8-tier or D9-tier, then even Xue Jinkuang was no match for him.

    Unfortunately, this was merely a hypothetical situation. In reality, Qin Feng was only at D1-tier.

    With Xue Jinkuang¡¯s attacks getting closer and closer, Qin Feng sighed before a piece of jade suddenly appeared in his hand.

    Battlegod Token!

    Since Qin Feng was unable to defeat his opponent, he could choose to escape.

    Not only were secret territories very rare, they also involved more than the issue of having enough resources.

    Anyone who had mastered the secret territory ability could choose to enter it at any moment to arrive at safety during a crucial point in time.

    Although Qin Feng had been bitten by the Bloody Jade Snake, it was only a skin-deep wound and the bite had not pierced through his heart.

    After all, Qin Feng already possessed a beast emperor¡¯s body. A mere E-tier beast king like the Bloody Jade Snake could not possibly bite through Qin Feng¡¯s flesh.

    However, the poison which seeped into Qin Feng¡¯s body through his wounded skin still posed too significant a risk to his life.

    Amid the battle, every minute and every second could make a difference between life and death for Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, Xue Jinkuang would not let him off the hook. The attacks came at Qin Feng one after the other.

    After triggering his conscious energy, Qin Feng¡¯s body was now enveloped by ayer of silver light.

    However, right then, a ray of silver light suddenly appeared next to Qin Feng.

    In the next moment, an alluring female appeared next to Qin Feng.

    She seemed to be very out of ce on the battlefield.

    Now, on the battlefield, on one hand, there was a heavily wounded young man who was also covered with sweat and mud.

    On the other hand, there was a mad-looking old man with a broken arm.

    It was a horrendous scene to behold.

    Meanwhile, this youngdy seemed to have appeared out of a painting.

    ¡°Bai Li!¡± Qin Feng eximed gleefully.

    Right then, Bai Li had a stern expression on her face. With the lift of her finger, a silver ray of light instantly exploded. The little snake, which had its teeth sunk into Qin Feng¡¯s chest, was cut into segments of one centimeter long.

    Boom!

    The Bloody Jade Snake was naturally not a tiny being. It only turned into its current form using a shapeshifting ability. Now that it had been killed, its body expanded into its original size.

    Meanwhile, Xue Jinkuang, who had originally been right in front of Qin Feng, was now pushed away by this humongous snake¡¯s body. He had missed the golden opportunity to kill Qin Feng.

    As such, Xue Jinkuang¡¯s face became twisted and appeared extremely terrifying.

    The Bloody Jade Snake had always been Xue Jinkuang¡¯s favorite pet. Now, it was killed by someone else with the snap of a finger.

    Even more so, Xue Jinkuang felt a chill in his heart.

    The youngdy, who had appeared suddenly, was so capable that she could kill an E-tier beast king with the lift of one hand.

    Even Xue Jinkuang himself would not have been able to do it with such ease.

    ¡°You! You are Bai Li!¡± Xue Jinkuang eximed with his eyes wide open as he stared at Bai Li.

    Meanwhile, Bai Li appeared to be in a fit of anger.

    All she did was leave to train for a while. As soon as she woke up, she could sense Qin Feng¡¯s weakening conscious energy. In fact, there was an instant when she felt that he was at the brink of death.

    After only being away from her master, Qin Feng, for one day, Qin Feng was already being bullied by others.

    Bai Li felt that someone was intentionally provoking her.

    Right then, Bai Li was emanating a terrifying aura without being aware of it.

    This kind of aura certainly did not belong to a human being.

    Xue Jinkuang was stunned because he could sense the aura from Bai Li¡¯s body.

    ¡°C-tier beast emperor!¡± The pitch of Xue Jinkuang¡¯s voice had changed.

    ¡°You are actually an ultra beast!¡±

    Xue Jinkuang was in a state of disbelief.

    However, he very quickly recollected himself.

    ¡°Did Qin Feng give you all the crystal cores he bought?¡±

    As Xue Jinkuang got closer to the truth, his blood began to cool down. All that remained in him was a sense of fear.

    Boom!

    Xue Jinkuang activated his internal force to generate an incredible speed in order to retreat.

    He knew that if he did not escape now, death was the only thing which awaited him.

    ¡°Are you still thinking of escaping from me?¡±

    Who could possibly escape from a spatial beast?

    Bai Li¡¯s silver eyes turned into a bright gctic stream which instantly surrounded Xue Jinkuang.

    Meanwhile, Xue Jinkuang could feel that he had entered a weird space. It felt like a sealed box which entrapped him.

    This was a kind of advanced spatial ability which only existed in a secret territory. It had trapped Xue Jinkuang inside with no hopes of escaping alive.

    A more terrifying thought urred to Xue Jinkuang.

    ¡°Bai Li is actually a spatial beast on top of being a beast emperor!¡±

    She was such a rare being.

    Xue Jinkuang was wildly jealous.

    How could Qin Feng possibly be this lucky?

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng, who had been rescued by luck, sighed in relief.

    With the death of the Bloody Jade Snake, energy now began seeping into Qin Feng¡¯s body, resulting in a slight recovery of his wounds. Qin Feng had now been saved from the brink of death.

    ¡°Ability¡ªAbsorb!¡±

    As Qin Feng activated his ability, the flesh of therge Bloody Jade Snake rapidly shriveled and eroded away. All that remained was its weak bones which gradually turned into dust as wind blew against them.

    ¡°Bai Li, kill him right away!¡±

    Qin Feng feared stalling when facing this kind of enemy.

    More importantly, his opponent had already found out about Bai Li¡¯s identity.

    Qin Feng was anxious that Xue Jinkuang might announce Bai Li¡¯s identity right before his death.

    If that were to happen, never mind a C-tier back-up. Even a B-tier or A-tier back-up mighte to rescue Xue Jinkuang.

    When Bai Li heard what Qin Feng said, she immediately nodded.

    She extended her tiny, fair hand and gripped it tightly into a fist.

    All of a sudden, the space around Xue Jinkuangpressed violently, causing him to implode right away.

    In reality, Qin Feng did not know that, despite being visible to the naked eye, the sealed space Bai Li had created was no longer actually there.

    Naturally, themunicator could only carry out a scan for danger alerts but not send out signals.

    More importantly, the signal sender which detected the vitality from within his body was not triggered.

    Despite being the chief of the dark ancient warrior family, nobody in his family would even know of his death which urred in the wilderness.

    After Bai Li retrieved the spatial rune, the only thing left in the air was a pile of bloody flesh.

    With the lift of one hand, Bai Li summoned a silver bracelet.

    It was Xue Jinkuang¡¯s spatial rune equipment.

    ¡°Cough!¡±

    After coughing out the congested blood in his chest, Qin Feng very quickly absorbed the energy which leaked out from Xue Jinkuang¡¯s body after his death.

    His injuries recovered significantly after doing so.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll rest for awhile in the Battlegod Shrine.¡±

    For the time being, Qin Feng was still feeling very weak. Due to the intense battle, he felt dizzy after exhausting too much of his conscious energy.

    ¡°Are you alright? Let me see if there¡¯s anything good in this old man¡¯s ring that you can consume and recover faster!¡± Bai Li said worriedly as she searched within Xue Jinkuang¡¯s spatial rune equipment.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll recover very soon. I just need to take a nap!¡± Qin Feng patted Bai Li¡¯s head. After a bright silver light appeared in his eyes, the two arrived within the Battlegod Tomb.

    Meanwhile, things were in a mess in Shadong Town.

    The news of Qin Feng being hunted by Xue Jinkuang had been spread from tens to hundreds of people.

    After a day, Qin Feng had yet to return.

    Two dayster, nothing changed.

    Everyone was beginning to feel that something bad must have happened to Qin Feng.

    As of now, Han Nuan, who possessed Qin Feng¡¯s resources, had be everyone¡¯s target.

    Xue Yumang, who had done a detailed investigation on Qin Feng, now showed his true colors.

    Several houses built from sandy y materials had all copsed as a result of the battle which took ce in Shadong Town.

    Dozens of citizens whoy dead in the pools of blood would perhaps have no idea what had caused their horrible deaths.

    ¡°Xue Yumang, you have gone too far!¡± Hu Liang shouted angrily.

    Meanwhile, Han Nuan¡¯s pupils began to dte a little as she stood behind Hu Liang.

 Chapter 354 - The Unbridled Xue Yumang

    <h4>Chapter 354: The Unbridled Xue Yumang</h4>

    Nearly every E-tier aptitude user in Shadong Town was envious of Han Nuan for bing Qin Feng¡¯s agent.

    On top of possessing a lot of resources, Han Nuan could do anything she wanted with them since Qin Feng trusted herpletely and did not get involved in the details.

    Of course, Han Nuan did not embezzle anything which belonged to Qin Feng. Even so, the amount of reward she received was beyond the imagination of many people.

    Within a month, Han Nuan progressed rapidly and came to possess many trump cards. Moreover, she improved significantly in her mastery of machineries.

    This was the nature of a gunslinger¡¯s profession.

    With money, anything was possible!

    This was also one of the reasons Han Nuan managed to escape from Xue Yumang¡¯s deadly pursuit, and made her way to Shadong Town¡¯s headquarters.

    Fortunately, Shadong Town was not veryrge.

    However, Han Nuan was not in a good shape now. With her conscious energy nearly exhausted, and one of her arms affected by Sanguine Palm, Han Nuan was in terrible pain and suffered from internal bleeding. It felt as if she would soon lose her life.

    She was trying her best to stay alive.

    ¡°Hu Liang, stop pretending. Who are you putting on a show for?¡± Xue Yumang asked.

    ¡°I¡¯m only going by the rules and regtions. Meanwhile, you are the rule-breaker!¡± Hu Liang responded angrily.

    Xue Yumang was clearly looking down on Hu Liang.

    It was all because Xue Jinkuang, a member of the Xue family with C-tier capabilities, had showed up. Within the Four Cities of the North Sea, he was indeed a terrifying existence.

    ¡°Hahaha. Rules and regtions? What kind of crap is that? Hu Liang, hand that woman over or you will have to pay for it with your blood!¡±

    Xue Yumang was being extremely unbridled. Since Xue Jinkuang had already arrived at Shadong Town, there was a huge possibility that he might have already killed Qin Feng.

    If Hu Liang did not do as he was told, he could be killed if Xue Yumang reported him to Xue Jinkuang.

    Naturally, Hu Liang knew that this was the case.

    He was in a dilemma.

    ¡°General Hu!¡± Han Nuan suddenly called out. There was a spatial button in her hand.

    It contained the unused materials Qin Feng had given to Han Nuan.

    As for the rest of the resources, Han Nuan had passed them all to Qin Feng a few days ago when she visited Qin Feng.

    ¡°General Hu, this belongs to Mr Qin. I hope you can hold onto it. If Master Qines back, return this to him. If he is dead, you can do whatever you want with it. How does that sound? It would be better than if it were to fall into the wrong hands!¡±

    Although Han Nuan knew that she was incapable of protecting the item, she did not want Xue Yumang to snatch it away from her.

    ¡°Moreover, I believe that Mr Qin is not dead!¡± Han Nuan gritted her teeth so hard that blood nearly spilled out from her mouth.

    In the entire Shadong Town, Han Nuan felt that she alone knew Qin Feng the best. Moreover, she knew what Qin Feng was truly capable of.

    How could he possibly die so easily?

    Qin Feng was bound to be an invincible expert!

    ¡°Take care of it? I would like to see who can take care of it!¡± Xue Yumang eximed as he reached out to snatch it.

    However, Hu Liang stopped him from doing so.

    Hu Liang still thought very highly of Qin Feng. Even if he was dead, Hu Liang still wanted to protect Han Nuan.

    ¡°The Xue family has gone too far!¡±

    As soon as the voice was heard, a sharp soil thorn appeared from the ground and was heading for Xue Yumang.

    From afar, Chen Xiang had also appeared!

    Of course, Chen Xiang was by himself.

    As an ability user, he was very confident.

    Meanwhile, those who had fought alongside Qin Feng did not show up. Perhaps, when Qin Feng decided not to form a group, or when he continued to sell beast king materials, most of these people had already be envious of him.

    Chen Xiang was the only person who still stood up for Qin Feng without fear, just as he did from the beginning.

    When Hu Liang saw Chen Xiang¡¯s appearance, he felt much more confident. Hence, he proceeded to give Han Nuan some medicine to prevent her from dying.

    Xue Yumang red at the two men.

    ¡°You two won¡¯t feel afraid until you see your own coffins. Once my family¡¯s chief returns, let¡¯s see if you can still protect this woman. By then, it won¡¯t just be about Qin Feng¡¯s possessions. Your stuff...¡±

    Xue Yumang chuckled creepily.

    By then, Xue Yumang would probably say the stuff Han Nuan possessed was not enough. He might even use Hu Liang and Chen Xiang of stealing some of it, thus justifying his will to take their possessions too.

    It would not be the first time Xue Yumang had done such a thing.

    However, right then, Hu Liang and Chen Xiang¡¯s facial expressions had changed.

    In fact, there was a glow in Han Nuan¡¯s eyes.

    Sensing that something was amiss, and as if someone was staring at her from behind, she turned around to find two other people standing behind her.

    They were Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Right then, Qin Feng had a horrible expression on his face.

    On top of not having fully recovered from the previous battle, he was more upset because of what Xue Yumang was doing.

    With Qin Feng still alive, Xue Yumang was already bullying his subordinates.

    What if he had really died? Apart from Han Nuan, the entire Fengli colony might be absorbed by the Xue family.

    On top of that, there were also others like Lei Chen or Yan Fang.

    ¡°Xue Yumang, we meet again!¡±

    There was a terrifyingly powerful aura around his body which deterred anyone from getting close.

    Even from looking at him directly, it sent chills down Xue Yumang¡¯s spine.

    Qin Feng¡¯s imposing manner was too intimidating!

    It seemed as if Xue Yumang had lost his ability to speak. His mouth was wide open while his eyes appeared as if they would fall out from his eye sockets at any moment.

    ¡°How dare you return!?¡± Xue Yumang eximed in disbelief.

    Qin Feng chuckled coldly. ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I? I am the Human Alliance¡¯s formal aptitude user. You, on the other hand, belong to one of the dark ancient warrior families. How dare you bare your fangs here? Do you really think that nobody can kill you?¡±

    A normal member of the Dark Coalition would naturally not have the guts to enter the city.

    Xue Yumang only did so because he was truly powerful.

    Even a wanted criminal would maintain a low profile in an area with less powerful individuals because nobody could defeat him there.

    Xue Yumang was only here because he believed nobody else could defeat him.

    ¡°Qin Feng, aren¡¯t you afraid that my chief would kill you if you return? Shadong Town would be destroyed as well. The entire poption in this town wouldn¡¯t even be enough to feed my master!¡±

    Xue Yumang beganughing grimly. If Xue Yumang could observe Xue Jinkuang killing Qin Feng personally, he would finally have closure because of how unkindly Qin Feng had treated him back in Tangshan Mountain.

    ¡°Xue Jinkuang? I have already returned. Do you really think that he is still alive and well?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s words sent the people around him into a state of shock.

    Even Xue Yumang seemed somewhat surprised. However, he soon beganughing out loud.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you must have really gone mad. Don¡¯t tell me you managed to kill the chief of my Xue family!¡±

    This was impossible.

    However, Qin Feng did not reply to Xue Yumang. With a calm look on his face, he looked at Xue Yumang as if he were looking at the Joker.

    She resembled the Joker, who refused to ept reality once his fantasies had been destroyed.

    Due to Qin Feng¡¯s overly calm expression, Xue Yumang¡¯sugh faltered. In the end, he picked up hismunicator and made a call.

    The message which appeared caused Xue Yumang¡¯s heart to go cold.

    ¡°Beep... Communication Device could not be found!¡±

    Themunicator had been destroyed!

    If Xue Jinkuang had gone to an unknown region, it should have only been a missed call.

 Chapter 355 - Xue Yumang Dies!

    <h4>Chapter 355: Xue Yumang Dies!</h4>

    The fact that Xue Jinkuang, who was a C-tier individual, had hismunicator destroyed by Qin Feng was quite a terrifying thought by itself.

    If hismunicator were destroyed, that meant that what Qin Feng said earlier was even more... terrifying to think about!

    ¡°You. What have you done?¡± Xue Yumang was visibly upset.

    Qin Feng had already drawn out his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°What did I do? You can ask Xue Jinkuang when you join him down there in hell!¡±

    Qin Feng dashed toward Xue Yumang.

    In everyone else¡¯s eyes, Qin Feng¡¯s tant act was a solid deration that Xue Jinkuang was dead.

    Of course, they found it somewhat hard to ept.

    ¡°Perhaps Qin Feng heard Han Nuan¡¯s cry for help and came back after shaking Xue Jinkuang off. Since Qin Feng was already an enemy of the Xue family, he might as well kill Xue Yumang because Xue Jinkuang is a much tougher opponent,¡± Chen Xiang said.

    Ever since Qin Feng killed Lei Chang, everyone acknowledged that he had be much stronger than a normal aptitude user.

    ¡°That might be the case. But what really happened to Xue Jinkuang? It¡¯s still a mystery!¡±

    A C-tier aptitude user was a cause for concern because it was equivalent to being a region overlord.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t contact Mr Qin!¡± Han Nuan said with much difficulty as she endured the pain all over her body. Even so, there was a look of faithfulness and joy in her eyes. ¡°Mr Qin is not a person who likes to lie. Xue Jinkuang must be dead!¡±

    Chen Xiang and Hu Liang looked at each other.

    If this were real, that meant that the Xue family would be crossed off the list in the Four Cities of the North Sea.

    After all, only two D-tier elders remained in the Xue family.

    Moreover, they were both old men of over a hundred years old.

    Despite being of the same generation as Xue Jinkuang, they had not progressed in their skills. They were D-tier beings who could die at any moment. Therefore, one could only imagine how weak they were.

    Right then, Qin Feng and Xue Yumang were still engaged in a battle.

    However, Xue Yumang was no match for Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was charging at Xue Yumang with his Verdant Emperor Saber which contained his internal force.

    Afraid of going against him directly, Xue Yumang began dodging his attacks.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you will pay for what you are doing. You¡¯re only struggling in the final moments before your death right now. Are you still trying to take me down with you? Think again!¡±

    Xue Yumang had already begun thinking of ways to make his escape.

    However, Qin Feng would not give him the opportunity to do so.

    ¡°You should listen to yourself. Those words of constion don¡¯t make any difference. You will end up dead anyway!¡± Qin Feng chuckled coldly as he began dashing even more quickly toward Xue Yumang.

    Xue Yumang immediately turned around and began running away.

    By then, everyone on the street had already gone back to their own houses because of the fight between Xue Yumang and Han Nuan.

    It was impossible for Xue Yumang to ask for help from anyone.

    ¡°That¡¯s it. Stop running!¡± Qin Feng chuckled coldly before he channeled his conscious energy.

    ¡°Magma Pir!¡±

    The ground below Xue Yumang instantly turned into magma. After a moment, a huge Magma Pir thrusted him into the sky.

    Zap! Zap! Zap!

    A huge energy force thrusted against Xue Yumang¡¯s internal force in his body.

    Zap!

    His internal force was being depleted rapidly.

    Fortunately, Xue Yumang had already used his qinggong skills to dodge the Magma Pir in a different direction. Even so, his internal force had been reduced by one-third.

    Qin Feng continued to pursue after him.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Once the Burning Sword re had been activated, a huge de of over ten meters descended from the sky.

    Xue Yumang gritted his teeth and activated his internal force once again to protect himself.

    Bang!

    As soon as the de struck Xue Yumang, the shield of internal force was instantly crushed.

    ¡°Another sh!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force seemed to be unlimited as he continued to use different powerful skills.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I¡¯ll fight with you until I die!¡±

    Xue Yumang channeled the blood in his body before he turned around and pushed his palm against Qin Feng.

    The gust of wind energy imbued with his internal force collided against the de energy of Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber.

    In that moment, the gust of wind energy was split into half by the de energy. Meanwhile, the de energy continued to move forward before eventuallynding on Xue Yumang¡¯s body.

    Without the protection of his internal force shield, Xue Yumang¡¯s flesh received the full brunt of the damage from the shing attack.

    Splutter.

    Xue Yumang was instantly knocked twenty meters away before he crashed into a banister by the road, crushing it along with the huge internal force in his body.

    Qin Feng took the opportunity to pursue after him.

    ¡°Go to hell!¡±

    The glimmer of a de appeared before a person¡¯s head rolled off onto the ground.

    Xue Yumang¡ªDead!

    People were shocked by Qin Feng who could kill a D-tier being with three strikes of his de.

    Right then, the people observing this battle in secret felt extremely remorseful.

    It was always a difficult thing to offer help in a timely manner.

    They could only make themselves feel better by thinking that Xue Jinkuang was not dead. Now that Qin Feng had gotten into trouble with a C-tier being, he might end up being killed too.

    If these people were to help Qin Feng, would they not be killed by the C-tier expert as well?

    However, did Qin Feng really kill Xue Jinkuang?

    Despite being curious, none of them had the courage to ask Qin Feng about it.

    Since Xue Yumang was not a wanted criminal, none of the D-tier elders could offer help in the Four Cities of the North Sea.

    As Qin Feng gathered Xue Yumang¡¯s Spatial Rune equipment, he activated his Asteroid Assimtion to absorb all three internal force mists from Xue Yumang¡¯s body.

    Thereafter, he burned Xue Yumang¡¯s corpse into ashes.

    When Qin Feng returned, Hu Liang had already summoned a water healer to take Han Nuan away in an ambnce.

    ¡°Han Nuan, you¡¯ve done well!¡± Qin Feng eximed.

    By then, Han Nuan seemed to have recovered the glimmer in her eyes.

    ¡°Boss, have I earned your trust?¡± Despite nearly losing her life, Han Nuan felt that it was all worth it.

    ¡°The feeling of trust is mutual. Don¡¯t think too much about it. Tend to your wounds and get well soon. I won¡¯t mistreat you!¡± Qin Feng responded.

    Han Nuan nodded.

    At that moment, Hu Liang approached them and handed the Spatial Button over to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Earlier, Han Nuan wanted me to look after this until you returned. We didn¡¯t expect you to return this soon!¡±

    Hu Liang had the intention of speaking up for Han Nuan. He was implying how Han Nuan was a great assistant. Despite not knowing if Qin Feng was dead or alive, she still stood up to a D-tier expert.

    It was clear Han Nuan was a loyal person.

    Getting the hint from what Hu Liang said, Qin Feng epted the item. However, he then returned it to Han Nuan.

    Nothing had changed!

    Hu Liang could not resist asking, ¡°Qin Feng, tell me the truth. What happened to Xue Jinkuang?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s dead,¡± Qin Feng said.

    Hu Liang¡¯s eyes became wide open. ¡°Are you certain?¡±

    ¡°I have no reason to lie to you about things like this!¡±

    Hu Liang¡¯s heart pounded while his mind began to race.

    ¡°How could that be? Qin Feng, you are merely at the D1-tier. How were you able to kill Xue Jinkuang? Xue Jinkuang has dominated the Four Cities of the North Sea for many years. Nobody has dared to assassinate him. Perhaps it¡¯s not even something one would dare think about. How did you do it?¡±

    Qin Fengughed. ¡°General Hu, I never said that I was the one who killed Xue Jinkuang!¡±

    Hu Liang was stunned.

    ¡°Who did it then?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze shifted to somewhere in the distance. In front of a shop with broken walls and fashionable clothes still on disy, Bai Li seemed to be engrossed with checking the clothes out.

    ¡°It was her!¡±

    Qin Feng pointed at Bai Li.

    When Hu Liang¡¯s gazended upon the same direction, he could see Bai Li picking clothes out like a shopaholic.

    Hu Liang¡¯s face turned dark.

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t mess with me. How could it possibly be Bai Li. Although she is very strong, it still...¡±

    ¡°Haha. I¡¯m telling the truth. Don¡¯t you believe me?¡± Qin Feng chuckled. ¡°All you need to know is that Xue Jinkuang is dead. That is all! If you don¡¯t believe me, just wait for a while!¡±

    Time would prove everything!

 Chapter 356 - The Ancient Warrior Families are Eager to Make a Move

    <h4>Chapter 356: The Ancient Warrior Families are Eager to Make a Move</h4>

    Although nobody knew if Qin Feng was telling the truth, they could observe his actions.

    After killing Xue Yumang, Qin Feng did not depart from Shadong Town.

    Instead, he stayed in the high-ss apartment Hu Liang had arranged for him. Meanwhile, although the Xue family was in a fit, no one in the family dared toe look for Qin Feng.

    That was because they were uncertain if Qin Feng was telling the truth either.

    Most importantly, without Xue Jinkuang, anyone who came looking for Qin Feng was bound to die one at a time.

    Under such circumstances, the rest of the ancient warrior families could no longer sit around in wait.

    Naturally, the other families were the only ones capable of fighting against the Xue family.

    ***

    In a secret room, D-tier individuals in the Hou family had already been in a meeting for half an hour.

    ¡°No matter what happens, won¡¯t we find out as long as we try?¡±

    ¡°Yeah. If Xue Jinkuang isn¡¯t dead, we still have Chief¡¯s support. If he really is dead, nobody would trouble us!¡±

    ¡°In that case, let¡¯s start with the Xue family¡¯s underground bank in Niumeng City!¡±

    ***

    All five aptitude users in the study were D-tier members of the Tieh family.

    ¡°Since we have decided, let¡¯s take action!¡±

    ¡°But how do we deal with Qin Feng after we seed?¡±

    ¡°We can offer him money or dividends!¡±

    ¡°Hmph. Aren¡¯t we being too generous? Why should he receive dividends if he barely even helped?¡±

    ¡°If he was the one who killed Xue Jinkuang, do you think he hasn¡¯t helped at all?¡±

    ***

    Meanwhile, the Yang family¡¯s D-tier aptitude users had all gathered in a grand hall.

    ¡°Regardless of whether Xue Jinkuang had died, the Xue family is no longer as powerful as they were before. At first, Xue Yuan was the pride of this generation. However, he waster killed by Bloodhunter.¡±

    ¡°After Bloodhunter killed the younger generations, four of their elders were killed too. Now, another one of them has died!¡±

    ¡°Hehe. From seven elders to two pieces of trash. The Xue family won¡¯t be in a glorious state for much longer!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s annihte them. Everyone will participate. It is time to get rid of the cancerous Xue family!¡±

    ***

    The three families began to act. Even though the Xue family¡¯s base camp was located in a vige in the middle of nowhere, they were involved in manufacturing industries in the Four Cities. In fact, the amount of money they made and the rate at which they did so might even surpass that of the dukes and generals in the Four Cities.

    Therefore, once Xue Jinkuang died, the Xue family was akin to a fatmb waiting to be ughtered.

    Such a situation resembled that of when Qin Feng annihted the Xin family¡¯s elders in Chengyang City.

    On the first day, the Xue family lost three of their medium-sized manufacturing industries in the Four Cities. Naturally, the Xue family was enraged and, as a result, sent people to fight with those who advanced against them.

    However, this was a battle of one against three. While fighting against three families simultaneously, the Xue family was outnumbered. Although they managed to kill some of their foes, the Xue family was left with very few of their own people as well.

    Therefore, the existing elders in the Xue family naturally announced their withdrawal from those manufacturing industries.

    The Xue family seemed to have fallen into a deep abyss.

    ¡°Is there any news about Chief?¡±

    ¡°No. We still can¡¯t get in touch with him!¡±

    ¡°Has the vitality signal been sent?¡±

    ¡°Not yet. Perhaps this might be good news!¡±

    ¡°What good news are you speaking of? Qin Feng is only a D-tier aptitude user. What could he possibly have done to Chief?¡±

    The First Elder and Second Elder of the Xue family could only make themselves feel better by saying such things.

    However, there was still no news about Xue Jinkuang after four days had passed. Meanwhile, Qin Feng had already fully recovered from his injuries.

    The conflict between the three big ancient warrior families and the Xue family was bing increasingly heated.

    The movement had already be a massive one!

    ***

    In Qin Feng¡¯s high-ss apartment in Shadong Town, he was leaning partially against the couch as he rested with his eyes closed. Han Nuan sat across from him.

    She was here to report to him about what was going on out there.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, are we going to just sit and observe while the three big families take action? The Xue family has a lot of industries which are worth getting our hands on!¡± Han Nuan exined.

    If they could gain control over these industries, the profits each year would be sufficient for them to kill a D-tier beast king!

    However, Qin Feng was not exactly tempted by such a thought.

    A D-tier beast king? If there were so many of such beings, Qin Feng would not have minded killing one of them each day.

    Besides, within a year, Qin Feng had already developed unimaginable capabilities.

    ¡°It¡¯s such a trouble!¡± Qin Feng eximed.

    Han Nuan would not give up. ¡°Mr. Qin, based on your current status and capabilities, many E-tier aptitude users would willingly serve you if you so asked. Your subordinates could solve these issues for you, and you wouldn¡¯t have to be troubled at all!¡±

    ¡°I know you are not satisfied. Forget about gaining control over those industries. Once those ancient warrior families are done with the job, we¡¯ll just take some money from them!¡±

    Han Nuan pouted. ¡°I¡¯m just worried that they won¡¯t even offer us money. The Hou family doesn¡¯t seem to have that intention at all!¡±

    ¡°What about the other families?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°The Tieh family, despite being a little unwilling, are willing to give us 5% of the dividends. The Yang family, on the other hand, are quite sincere in offering 20% of the dividends. They also offered to make a deal of giving us a ten-year dividend of the total profits!¡±

    With terms like these, Qin Feng would be able to obtain ten billion dors if the industry was worth five billion dors per annum.

    It was indeed a very sincere offer.

    Qin Feng chuckled coldly. ¡°I agree with the Yang family¡¯s offer. In the Tieh Family¡¯s case, charge them 30% of dividend on top of a ten-year period buyout. As for the Hou family, I demand a twenty-year period buyout!¡±

    Although Han Nuan was unhappy about Qin Feng not being greedy enough just moments ago, she was now a little intimidated by his sudden interest in mary gains.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think the Tieh family and the Hou family would agree to such terms!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. They will agree!¡±

    Since Qin Feng had recovered from his injuries, he wanted to go out for a walk today.

    It was the first time Qin Feng and Bai Li had left the apartment together. On their first trip outside, they arrived at the Wanzong Auction House at lightning speed.

    The sixth floor of the Wanzong Auction House had already been renovated. Today was the beginning of a half-month-long conference.

    When Qin Feng appeared by the door, many D-tier aptitude users noticed him.

    They wondered if they should even speak to Qin Feng.

    In contrast to the worried looks on their faces, Qin Feng very decisively walked to the reception and began filling in a form.

    Last time, Qin Feng did not end up trading these items when he filled in the form.

    [C-Tier Emperor-gradebat boots, partially new, damaged, exchange price: 20 billion]

    [C-Tier Emperor-gradebat vest, partially new, damaged, exchange price: 18 billion]

    [C-Tier Emperor-grade trousers, partially new, damaged, exchange price: 17 billion]

    [Natural Energy Stone Frost Jade Bed, exchange price: 10 billion]

    [C-Tier concentrated ambergris, exchange price: 8 billion]

    [D-Tier Beast-king-grade material, exchange price: 7 billion]

    [D-Tier Ascension Pill, exchange price: 5 billion]

    Qin Feng nearly filled up an entire page.

    All these items belonged to Xue Jinkuang.

    When Bai Li killed Xue Jinkuang, she ended up damaging all the items and equipment he possessed. Some of them were even severely damaged.

    Otherwise, any piece of C-tier beast king¡¯s equipment would cost sixty billion yuan.

    In actual fact, Xue Jinkuang¡¯s worth amounted to at least two hundred billion yuan.

    However, these were all illiquid assets to Xue Jinkuang.

    Xue Jinkuang only urgently needed to steal from Qin Feng because he possessed very little liquid assets.

 Chapter 357 - Panic at the Conference

    <h4>Chapter 357: Panic at the Conference</h4>

    Too bad they did not manage to ughter the sheep. The hunter Xue Jinkuang was, however, killed by Bai Li. She was the real fox in sheepskin.

    Qin Feng went near the buffet station. Bai Li released her clutch on Qin Feng and started to gorge on the food.

    The crowd pretended not to care. They went near the entrance and quietly checked the message on the board.

    They were discreet about it and Qin Feng was not paying attention to the entrance. But for a person with high consciousness such as Qin Feng, nothing could escape his senses.

    Furthermore, after looking at the notice, all of them breathed a sigh of relief.

    The list was all over the ce. It was obvious that his treasure was umted over the decades and not some happenstance fortune.

    Not only that, Qin Feng clearly listed out something in thest section: 150 cubic meters worth of spatial runes, selling for 750 million.

    Only a C-tier could possess such a huge storage rune.

    Sheeesh!

    Some of them who were nervous took a huge breath. They quickly turned silent after that.

    There were also those from the ancient warrior families present.

    Since Hou Yang Jiao had some disagreement with Qin Fengst time, the Hou family sent out the D-tier Hou Yangsheng whom Qin Feng had met before at the Tangshan Mountain out of consideration.

    The Tieh Family too had sent out a different person. It was Tieh Xin who was at the Tangshan Mountain as well.

    Yang Mao, who led the younger disciples in the Battlegod Tomb, represented the Yang family.

    Yang Mao did not know who Qin Feng was. But Qin Feng had good impressions of him. After all, Yang Mao was the only one who did not intend to kill Qin Feng to gain an upper hand at the Battlegod Tomb.

    After looking at Qin Feng¡¯s offer list, the three of them were startled.

    Some were envious, some were jealous. Some furrowed their brows.

    But undoubtedly, Xue Jinkuang had died.

    The news was rather abrupt.

    At that moment in the conference, the hands of a cloaked elder trembled when he saw the list. He wanted to tear the list apart!

    He was the second elder of the Xue family, Xue Jinrui.

    He had intended to gather news from the conference earlier on. But he never would have thought that the news would turn into a nightmare.

    Xue Jinrui still harbored a glimmer of hope. He only wanted to confirm the news.

    Those who were ahead of Qin Feng did not seem to be into the auction. They announced their items hastily and stepped down from the stage quickly when they did not get an offer back. It was quick.

    It was Qin Feng¡¯s turn half an hourter.

    He put down his gears on the tform.

    The aptitude users below the stage looked at each other before calling out prices.

    One of the ancient warrior families who held a vast amount of wealth bought the frost jade bed.

    The rest of the items went out like hotcakes, including the spatial rune gears.

    However, nobody wanted the battlesuit that was riddled with a burnt mark and fresh blood. They were apprehensive about a suit that was worn by a dead person. Moreover, they had no use for it!

    Qin Feng did not expect to sell it as well. It was more of an exhibit!

    He would probably have to pass it over to Lu Wanbao.

    Qin Feng held on for another ten minutes, but none dared to say anything. He sold most of his items and put away the rest of his unsold gears!

    He raised his head. The ck-robed man had vanished from the auction hall.

    ¡°Ha, someone from the Xue family. I could smell the blood-filled stench from far away!¡±

    Qin Feng coldly chuckled. He called for Bai Li and exited the hall.

    He did not n to stay on for the second half of the conference!

    Under the cover of darkness, Xue Jinrui quickly reached outside the city. A hover copter picked him up and left Shadong Town.

    After they had left, Qin Feng chased after them in the Sky Dweller.

    ¡°Lock on to thebat hover copter in front!¡±

    ¡°Activate anti-trace!¡±

    ¡°Move in quietly!¡±

    Not only that, Qin Feng used the dark ability on his hover copter. Not even ultra beasts could detect Qin Feng.

    Xue Yuan would be a powerful person in the next decade. The House of Xue had shifted by then.

    Qin Feng had no clue where their house was originally located.

    But now, he had discovered their ce!

    Many people came out to greet Xue Jinrui when his hover copternded.

    ¡°Second Elder, did you get any news?¡±

    ¡°Grandpa Second Elder!¡±

    ¡°Second elder...¡±

    Xue Jinrui was getting annoyed. He was already frustrated in the first ce. Now, he felt even more irritated.

    ¡°Shut up!¡±

    Xue Jinrui shouted furiously. He pulled down his cloak and revealed a frail, skinny face. His face looked even more frightening at night.

    He wanted to admonish them at first, but he felt that he did not have time after what had happened in the auction!

    ¡°Everyone, pack up whatever you can and get ready to depart!¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    The crowd could not believe their ears.

    The Xue family, a great ancient warrior family that had terrorized the Northern Seas fearlessly, was asked to pack their things and get ready to leave?

    ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? Go!¡± Xue Jinrui screamed.

    At that moment, the Sky Dwellernded on a small mound outside the Xue family¡¯s vige.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and stored the Sky Dweller away.

    The vige was visibly well lit from afar. The dark energy barrier that was used to hide their traces had been retracted.

    The energy stone that powered up the energy barrier was worth quite a bit of money.

    The Xue family was packing their bags!

    Qin Feng coldly chuckled. He stood on the hill without any movement.

    The Xue family seemed well trained. They had their things ready within an hour.

    The treasures in their vault were stored away in their storage runes. The herbal weeds and fruits that they had cultivated were also plucked, regardless of their ripeness.

    Briefly, a few hundred people gathered around.

    Xue Jinrui grinned as he looked at the family members. ¡°Kill all of those who are not aptitude users or direct blood descendants of the Xue family!¡±

    The members of the Xue family turned pale.

    A beautiful-lookingdy wailed, ¡°Sir, sir, you can¡¯t kill me! I, I have your child in me, he¡¯s a blood descendant, he must be!¡±

    The rest of thedies followed suit and imed that they were all pregnant. The Xue family had gained so many grandchildren at the very end!

    The Xue family was hedonistic and authoritative. Thesedies became their lovers out of greed. It was rare for real aptitude users to join the Xue family.

    Now, their lives had be trivial when it came to the survival of the Xue family.

    ¡°Back off!¡±

    A middle-aged man who was the first to be approached furiously delivered a palm strike to thedy¡¯s temple.

    Pshh!

    Thedy¡¯s head was mutted. Her body twitched for a moment before copsing.

    The rest of them followed his lead. Momentster, the few-hundred strong crowd was left with only a little over a hundred people.

 Chapter 358 - The Extermination of the Xue Family

    <h4>Chapter 358: The Extermination of the Xue Family</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Now, only Xue Jinling and Xue Jinrui remained as the strongest members of the Xue family.

    They were at the same level as Xue Jinkuang.

    There were seven other E-tiers, twenty six F-tiers, around fifty three G-tiers, and dozens of youths who had yet to awaken their abilities.

    In Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, the remaining people were the true definition of old and weak!

    He walked slowly in the darkness without concealing himself.

    ¡°Who goes there?¡± Xue Jinling yelled.

    The crowd all turned toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°You sure saved me from dirtying my hands with blood, you¡¯ve outed yourselves!¡± Qin Feng chuckled grimly.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    There was not anyone in the Xue family who did not know him.

    It was all because of him that the Xue family fell into despair.

    The Xue family harbored deep contempt toward him.

    But when Qin Feng appeared in front of them, fear consumed them to the bones.

    ¡°Run!¡±

    Xue Jinling could only call out a single word. In the next moment, he had already run tens of meters away.

    He could not care less about the Xue family members!

    But Qin Feng would not let him escape.

    ¡°Get over here!¡±

    Qin Feng raised and thrust his palm in Xue Jinling¡¯s direction.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion, absorb!¡±

    Xue Jinling was escaping at full speed. However, the suction force of Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion was like a terrifying vortex that had captured Xue Jinling in an instant.

    Xue Jinling could not escape from Qin Feng¡¯s palm no matter how he tried. His body was being pulled back; his internal aura was being pulled away like a torrent of floodwater.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng pressed his palm on Xue Jinling¡¯s internal force barrier, sucking his internal force dry and causing his internal force barrier to copse.

    After a match with a great master like Xue Jinkuang, Xue Jinling was an easy feat.

    Qin Feng had now pressed his palm behind Xue Jinling¡¯s waist.

    Crackle!

    Qin Feng delivered a palm strike that instantly broke Xue Jinling¡¯s spine. Xue Jinling merely twitched for a while before slumping down like a deted balloon.

    The patriarch of the Xue family, dead!

    It all happened too quickly.

    ¡°Qin Feng! I¡¯ll kill you!¡±

    Xue Jinrui shrieked in rage as he delivered a bloodied palm strike.

    Qin Feng did not even need to use the Verdant Emperor Saber. He raised his other palm.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    Boom!

    The strike produced the wail of a dragon. The winds from the palm caused a vicious downforce. The bloodied palm became disintegrated. The huge w mark from the Dragon m tore out the internal force barrier of Xue Jinrui andnded a direct hit on his body.

    Xue Jinrui was knocked back into the crowd.

    For a moment, there were cries and screams everywhere!

    Qin Feng radiated an aura that could only be found on powerful masters.

    The Xue family members who were frantically trying to escape just now could not even move.

    ¡°Arrgh!!¡±

    Some of themon folk who have yet to awaken their ability were dripping blood from all their orifices. They had been crushed to death by the powerful aura.

    G-tier aptitude users copsed on the ground. The F-tier aptitude users were kneeling on the ground. They could not even stand up.

    Even the E-tiers¡¯ legs were trembling as if they could give way anytime soon.

    Each time Qin Feng stepped forward, the crowd struggled to take a step backward. As for Xue Jinrui, none dared to pick him up!

    Qin Feng came near Xue Jinrui.

    ¡°The Xue family is destined for extermination today!¡±

    Qin Feng stomped.

    Crack!

    Xue Jinrui¡¯s chest copsed. His heart was mangled by Qin Feng¡¯s stomp.

    Qin Feng proceeded to absorb his internal force. Xue Jinrui turned his head to the side. Blood poured out from his mouth. He died with his eyes open!

    The rest of the Xue family members looked at Qin Feng fearfully.

    The hundred over people could not even put up a resistance in front of Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng raised his hand. A terrifying me engulfed the crowd.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    The ze raged on.

    ¡°Arrghh!¡±

    The Xue family members shrieked. But the remaining people were too weak. They were turned into ash in the blink of an eye.

    Qin Feng raised his hand. A few runic spatial gears fell into his hand. He surveyed around. These were probably all that was left of the Xue family¡¯s treasures.

    Since they were leaving, they had probably brought all their stuff.

    The total worth of the treasures was about a hundred billion. Nothing more.

    From this day onward, the Xue family would be delisted from the four cities of the Northern Seas.

    Qin Feng took out his Sky Dweller and started his journey home.

    That night was never meant to be a calm one.

    The three great ancient warrior families were nning to attack the Xue family¡¯s territory. But what made them wonder was that none of the members of the Xue family put up a fight. They had even ran away faster than everyone else. Those who stayed back to fight previously had all ran away!

    The Yang family caught a live one and immediately found out what happened!

    The Xue family members had their own special device that reported on the death of their family members. About half an hour ago, the device reported that all blood descendants of the Xue family, from young to old, had died!

    There was no one alive!

    ¡°Who could¡¯ve done this?¡±

    ¡°We haven¡¯t even nned to attack their base camp, since there were still D-tiers there and all!¡±

    ¡°The n leaders have yet to return. If we had attacked we would have suffered an incredible loss. We could even get jumped by the Xue family! There¡¯s no way we did it!¡±

    The three familiesmunicated with each other and denied responsibility. But once they thought of the Xue family¡¯s wealth, none of them could sit still. They flew by copters into the small vige which was the Xue family¡¯s headquarter.

    When they arrived, they saw the bodies of old women and children.

    ¡°Dead by their own hands, most of them by the Sanguine Palms!¡±

    ¡°Imbeciles!¡±

    ¡°Spread out and search!¡±

    Soon, they discovered the patch of burnt mound!

    At that moment, all of them could only think of one person.

    ¡°Qin Feng, this must be Qin Feng¡¯s work!¡±

    No one had any doubts. After all, it was rare to find a Fire ability user in Shadong Town. It was even rarer toe across someone with Qin Feng¡¯s ability!

    Sheesh! The crowd took a deep breath.

    ¡°This Qin Feng is too scary!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s look for Qin Feng after we¡¯ve gathered the Xue family¡¯s loot! Tally up the treasures and share our find with them!¡± The Hou family could no longer ignore Qin Feng.

    If Qin Feng could wipe out the Xue family today, he could wipe out the Hou family tomorrow.

    By then, Qin Feng had already returned to his apartment in Shadong Town. He fell asleep while embracing Bai Li.

    ***

    The next day, Lu Wanbao contacted Qin Feng through hismunication device. He wanted to buy Qin Feng¡¯s loots.

    Qin Feng expected his call.

    Hence, the two of them agreed to meet in the apartment.

    Lu Wanbao had raised enough capital. He executed the deal with Qin Feng immediately.

    Qin Feng sold everything he took from the Xue family to Lu Wanbao.

    Therefore, including the deal from the day before, Qin Feng¡¯s wealth had reached a new height of over three hundred billion yuan.

    ¡°Manager Lu, how many Lifestream Pills do you have on hand now?¡± asked Qin Feng.

    If pills and medicines were ssified like ultra beasts, the materials that made up a Lifestream Pill would be of the emperor level.

    Only a small amount of pills could be made from the rare materials. It was often sold in auction houses as a single item. One pill could fetch around two billion yuan.

 Chapter 359 - Organization Zâ€™s Movements

    <h4>Chapter 359: Organization Z¡¯s Movements</h4>

    It was said that a pill like this could increase the level of a D-tier ancient warrior by a small degree.

    Lu Wanbao knew there was a good chance of conducting a lucrative business deal with Qin Feng!

    ¡°Mr. Qin, how many pills are we talking about here?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll take fifty!¡± said Qin Feng.

    Fifty pills would cost one hundred billion yuan. Qin Feng was used to splurging more than a hundred billion each time he wanted to buy something!

    Lu Wanbao pursed his lips when he heard the amount. Although he knew that Qin Feng had great wealth, he did not have to spend it this way. His body would develop resistance against the pill after consuming past a certain amount.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take the deal!¡±

    Still, one hundred billion yuan was a huge deal. Lu Wanbao would not want to miss out on it.

    Ever since Qin Feng had moved to Shadong Town, each deal that Lu Wanbao had conducted with him here had been high-value ones.

    ¡°Let me go get the goods, please wait for an hour!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded.

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator then rang.

    ¡°Mr Qin, the ancient warrior families are looking for you, they want to discuss something about divvying up the Xue family¡¯smercial assets with you!¡±

    Qin Feng did not want to waste his time on the others. He said, ¡± Just send me what I requested, no need to see me!¡±

    ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll ask them to transfer the money to your ount!¡±

    When Lu Wanbao came back, the money in Qin Feng¡¯s ount had increased.

    Only the Yang family had transferred ten billion yuan.

    The other two families were probably unhappy with Qin Feng¡¯s demand!

    However, since Qin Feng declined to meet them, they could only go through Han Nuan. Moreover, they could not hurt her at all.

    Was Xue Yumang¡¯s ending not terrible enough?

    Was the tragedy that befell the Xue family not enough as a wake-up call to the rest of them?

    ***

    In the training chamber of the Battlegod Tomb.

    Qin Feng popped the pills one by one into his mouth.

    The pills melted in his mouth instantly. Bursts of energy began to explode in his body.

    The pills were created from a mixture of numerous herbs. Different herbs, when mixed together, produced different results.

    However, it was not something as simple as one plus one.

    The herbs had always had a multiplying effect on the ancient warriors.

    For the ancient warriors, pills were like powerful weapons were to the gunners.

    His internal energy became condensed before sinking deep into his body.

    ¡°Absorption!¡±

    Qin Feng used his ability to absorb the energy from the pills. The energy enhanced his strength and returned to his dantian.

    A single pill could modestly increase the level of a normal ancient warrior. But for someone with a highly concentrated internal energy like Qin Feng, fifty pills had only increased his internal energy by 15 pools.

    The pill did not only enhance his internal energy, it fortified his body as well.

    Qin Feng could only feel that his physical body had reached a breaking point.

    The injuries that he sustained previously had disappeared. His body was bursting with energy.

    Boom!

    He shot out a crushing aura.

    He was at D2-tier.

    Not only that, but Qin Feng had also now umted 26 pools of internal energy in his dantian. If he were toe face to face with someone like Xue Jinkuang, he would not be as unprepared as before!

    As Qin Feng was training, something big happened on the other side.

    ***

    Near Qihan City was a hamlet-sized colony known as the Northward Vige.

    The colony was exceptionally small and poor. Passersby would hardly notice the almost barren vige under the hot sun.

    However, other than the ves who lived in the vige, there was a huge factory hidden beneath the city.

    ¡°The ancient elixir of awakening number D28 has beenpleted!¡±

    Replied the man who dutifully looked at the person in front of him.

    Qin Feng would have recognized him if he were here. The man who was known as Big Boss Guo was the leader of the Desert Eagle Group he was looking for, Guo Geng!

    He was an important link to the Z Organization.

    The person who was asking the question was a C-tier aptitude user.

    He had short hair and a chiseled face¡ªa very charming man.

    A man of his stature often held great power and position. A person with a constant stream of wealth and women. He looked sensible and gentlemanly.

    ¡°Hmm, how¡¯s the effect?¡±

    The man continued to question.

    Guo Geng quickly replied,¡± We haven¡¯t tested the elixir en masse yet. More importantly, this elixir is suited for D-tiers to awaken their potential. We still don¡¯t have any D-tiers to experiment on yet!¡±

    He knew that the elixir would have to undergo a trial, but he did not wish to capture a D-tier from the Human Alliance.

    Although Guo Geng had the experimental beast emperor power of a D-tier mutant, his weaknesses were no longer a secret!

    If not melded properly, an experimental mutant could lose his mind every time he triggered his abilities. In the end, his body could even explode and die.

    Hence, not fighting unnecessarily became their principle.

    The C-tier master seemed to have caught on to Guo Geng¡¯s thoughts. He looked at the other people. There were ten D-tiers present there who belonged to the same organization. Strangely, however, some of them were from the Human Alliance while some of them came from the Dark Coalition.

    ¡°D-tier test subjects, huh?¡± The C-tier master closed his eyes. He then grinned. ¡°There are at least two hundred D-tiers in the Shadong Town, that could be a good ce...¡±

    ¡°Master Yan, do you...¡±

    Guo Geng knew that Yan Shuo was nning to do something from his expressions.

    ¡°A diluted elixir would have dyed effects, but that would be sufficient to let them mutate. Shadong Town rests on the edge of the Northern Sea Deserts, they¡¯ve always had a tough time finding water. There is a reservoir... need I say more?¡±

    Yan Shuo surveyed the crowd.

    ¡°Master Yan, what a wonderful idea!¡±

    It was an inconceivable brave act!

    Shadong Town was not highly popted, about one hundred thousand people at most. Yet,pared to the two hundred D-tiers, what were one hundred thousandmon folk?

    It was an effortless n to acquire the test subjects!

    ¡°Rest assured, Master Yan, we¡¯ll handle this!¡±

    ¡°Yan Fang did well in Shadong Town previously, leave it to him, he¡¯s never failed!¡±

    ¡°Okay, remember to conceal all signals, don¡¯t let the news get out!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll capture all the subjects and destroy the town using ultra beasts after the experiment, no one will ever know!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡±

    The ten D-tiers quickly conjured up a n.

    The n to destroy Shadong Town that lived in Qin Feng¡¯s memory was about to begin!

    Qin Feng had no clue about the n. He was still training in the Battlegod Tomb.

    As night fell, all the D-tiers returned to Shadong Town. After a full day of battle, the exhausted D-tiers naturally yearned for a feast.

    The water in their reservoir was quickly used up.

    The reservoir was used by the people to drink and cook.

    Not only that, but the water in Shadong Town that day seemed sweeter than usual. They could not resist taking another sip.

    Water has always been essential in life.

    The first cry urred at midnight. The shrieking call pierced through the night sky.

    The bellow of an enraged beast soon followed.

 Chapter 360 - Horrifying Experiment

    <h4>Chapter 360: Horrifying Experiment</h4>

    ¡°Ow!!!¡±

    All sorts of noises began to arise within Shadong Town, as if there were howling from the wolves, and roaring from the tigers.

    From the outside of the town, eleven people were dressed in pitch-ck colouredbat fatigues, their presence was like fog clouds that had filled the area, and they were looking at the barrier at the centre of the North Sea Desert.

    ¡°Spatial Lockdown! Signal Interference!¡±

    They were swift in their actions.

    Shadong Town was immediately controlled as it went under lockdown.

    Top tier aptitude users within the town were puzzled by the abrupt situation, and they were not paying attention to the situation that was ongoing at the outer part of the town.

    At that moment, Qin Feng had juste out from the Battlegod Tomb.

    As soon as he walked out, he was alerted by an ear-piercing screech from the next room.

    Qin Feng heightened his consciousness and frowned.

    There were only D-tier aptitude users that lived within the high-end apartment, and every household was equipped with their own designated lift facility, hence, Qin Feng did not know who his neighbours were.

    Indeed, it was obviously an unusual noise.

    However, the screeching onlysted for a short while and the surroundings resumed into silence.

    Qin Feng instantly extended his conscious energy to ¡°spy¡± on the situation next door.

    He was surprised by a gigantic beast that had suddenly appeared next door.

    It was incorrect to address it as a beast as it still had the facial features of a human on it, and it was the D-tier gunner that Qin Feng had met before.

    At that moment, the body of the D-tier gunner was still experiencing ergement, he was constantly swelling at an unbelievable pace, and it was like he was being injected with arge amount of liquid.

    Moreover, his limbs seemed to experience deterioration during the ergement.

    His entire body was covered in fur, while an elephant tusk was extending from above of his erged skull.

    The bizarre look was indeed horrifying.

    At the same time, the insane beast had already crushed his housekeeper and devoured the bones and flesh of the dead body.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber was drawn out from his spatial rune equipment, he aimed toward the connecting wall to the next door and shed across with an arc movement.

    The wall instantly cracked apart, Qin Feng booted the round b of concrete wall and it fell to the ground.

    Boom!

    The round b of concrete wall mmed onto the monster that was in the room.

    Now, the monster waspletely exposed before Qin Feng, and it looked familiar to him.

    ¡°Mammoth insectoids!¡±

    Qin Feng felt that it resembled most of their physical features.

    ¡°Could it be a parasitic virus?¡±

    Qin Feng did not have much time to figure that out as the horrifying beast that seemed to be a mammoth insectoid had begun to rush toward him, he was seen as the enemy and a prey to be feasted on.

    Qin Feng knew it was impossible to save this person, with that, ending his life would be a better choice.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was swept across the air.

    Poof!

    A giant piece of flesh was cut down.

    The mammoth insectoid beast let out a miserable shriek in agony and was enraged, it became even more violent.

    Boom!

    The beast had knocked down an entire wall!

    Surprisingly, it was equipped with the shockingbat power of a D2-tier beast general.

    Was it because of the parasitic effect that had increased itsbat power?

    The insectoid was unable to move around freely with its insanely erged body, furniture in the living room was trampled upon, and a grand feast on the table was alsopletely ruined.

    Qin Feng had nowhere to hide.

    Of course, he did not have to hide.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was immediately pierced into the body of the beast.

    Poof!

    Scorching fresh blood sprinkled out from the wound, and Qin Feng was surprised by the scalding blood.

    Qin Feng ughtered the beast with his continuous shes.

    Poof poof poof!

    Fresh blood dripped from the exposed wounds, and it appeared that the internal core was disturbed and had resulted in a humongous wave fluctuation.

    Boom!

    The explosion had obliterated the entire floor into ruins.

    Qin feng was instantly trapped within the concrete ruins.

    ¡°Hwa!¡±

    The surroundings underwent another round of copsing, Qin Feng dashed out from the ruins while surrounded by his internal strength barrier.

    Qin Feng realized that things had escted into a dire situation.

    He raised his head and observed from the windows of every floor, it was as if the entire building had turned into a chaotic scene that was filled with roaming demons.

    Unrecognizable ultra beasts were constantly ramming and crawling out from the ruins.

    Fortunately, some had survived from mutating into such beasts.

    A shadow dashed out and appeared near him, it was Chen Xiang.

    At that moment, Chen Xiang was very surprised to see Qin Feng there.

    ¡°Brother Qin, Ms Bai, are you guys alright?¡± Chen Xiang was constantly retreating while releasing y walls, it was as if he was trying to restrain something behind.

    ¡°Brother Chen, what is happening?¡± Qin Feng asked with a deep voice.

    Chen Xiang was clueless. ¡°Why would you ask me, I was about to ask you the same question!¡±

    ¡°I do not know either, I am guessing that it might be parasites!¡±

    ¡°It is impossible!¡± Before Chen Xiang could continue, the y walls were already destroyed!

    Boom!

    As soon as the walls were crushed, a gigantic shadow of about three metres tall appeared before them.

    Obviously, it resembled the features of a gori, as its bulky body was packed with sturdy muscles that were covered with ck-colored fur.

    Only his face was left uncovered by the densely grown fur around his body, and it instantly revealed his identity.

    ¡°Gao Li!¡±

    Surprisingly, he was the aptitude user that remained in a close rtionship with Chen Xiang!

    The Insectoids had the most powerful parasites known, and because of the D-tier aptitude user next door that had gone through the mutation of a mammoth insectoid, Qin Feng felt that it was parasites that had caused the mutation.

    However, the appearance of Gao Li had showcased a different development.

    Gao Li¡¯s capability had spiked tremendously.

    Chen Xiang was no longer able to go against him anymore.

    Qin Feng drew out his saber andunched his attack toward Gao Li.

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t kill him!¡±

    Chen Xiang shouted and he seemed to be extremely worried.

    Qin Feng stopped his attack and extended his hand that was umted with golden-colored internal strength.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    Gao Li who had turned into a gori did not know how to utilize his internal strength, and he had shockingly received the attack from Qin Feng with his bare hands.

    Crack!

    One of his arms was instantly impaired.

    ¡°One more!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength gushed out as he appeared behind Gao Li in the blink of an eye, andnded another m on his shoulder de.

    Boom!

    Gao Li was instantly pushed forward and he slid on the floor for more than ten meters away, both of his hands were already fractured.

    Qin Feng took advantage of the situation and continued his attack.

    Crack! Crack!

    Again, Qin Feng had impaired both of Gao Li¡¯s legs.

    ¡°Roar!¡± Gao Li let out a roar as he suffered from the pain.

    His blood-red eyes were staring at Qin Feng, he had be insane.

    ¡°Has he gone insane?¡± Chen Xiang looked toward Gao Li and did not know what to do.

    It was at that moment, countless of unrecognizable half human half beasts crawled out from the building.

    Their appearance had left Qin Feng and Chen Xiang in shock.

    Every single one of the eyes of the beasts were red.

    They began to hunt down the humans as soon as they realized that they were not the same kind as them.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    A werewolf that stood up straightunched its deadly attack.

    Without much hesitation, Qin Feng drew out his saber and shed it across the air.

    Poof!

    It was an instant death for the werewolf.

    They were merely lifeforms that had been awakened with G-tier capabilities, and none of them came close to being a worthy opponent against Qin Feng.

    It was then, Qin Feng had finally figured it out.

    ¡°All of them are the mutant experiment subjects!¡± Qin Feng clenched his teeth and exined.

    ¡°What?¡± Chen Xiang was in disbelief as he looked around, it had be a destructive hell, and he even began to doubt his own eyes. ¡°How were they able to do this!¡±

 Chapter 361 - Destruction of Shadong Town

    <h4>Chapter 361: Destruction of Shadong Town</h4>

    At the very least, experiment subjects would be required to be handled precisely in order for them to experience change!

    However, all of them had turned into beasts without any signs.

    ¡°I do not know either!¡± Qin Feng answered with his deep voice, he also had no idea how all these people mutated, however, he knew for certain who was the one who had caused such mutation!

    Guo Geng, member of the Z Organization, it must be him!

    It was at that moment, both Qin Feng and Chen Xiang sensed a suppression of horrifying presence that was closing in.

    ¡°Ah ah ah ah ah!¡±

    It was a deafening scream of pain.

    Qin Feng and Chen Xiang looked toward the direction where the suppression hade from.

    In the blink of an eye, they saw a frightening shadow that had appeared from the gaps of the ruins of the building.

    The shadow was constantly erging.

    It was insanely blood-curdling.

    Buildings around Shadong Town were averaged to be around six levels of moderate height, and they were about twenty meters tall, however, the giant had already grown to more than thirty meters, its gigantic skull was fierce and intimidating, and the frightening look could easily haunt anyone that encountered it.

    ¡°It¡¯s Hu Liang!¡± Chen Xiang was stunned!

    Undoubtedly, that person had the facial features of Hu Liang, however, it had undergone ergement from an ordinary human body into a giant that was above thirty meters in height, and anyone could imagine how horrifying it would be.

    It was at that moment where fear began to rise within Qin Feng and his heart began to pound at high speed!

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    Bai Li surprised everyone when she stood before Qin Feng and Chen Xiang and protected them, she lifted her hand, and a ray of silver light dazzled.

    The silver light was semi-transparent and allowed clear vision from within, however, it was a total separation from the surroundings.

    All of a sudden, Qin Feng caught a glimpse of a massive explosion from Hu Liang¡¯s body that was insanely erged!

    They had heard nothing as they were within the silenced space, and it was no longer the same space as before.

    However, the deafening noise from the massive explosion had instantly destroyed every building within Shadong Town at a visible speed.

    All houses copsed instantly.

    The energy dispersal had surrounded every G-tier mutant that was around Qin Feng earlier, and they were all annihted into ashes.

    The entire central part of Shadong Town appeared as if it was hit by the Destructive ster, and the magnitude might be even greater than that.

    Within a split second, Shadong Town no longer exists.

    Qin Feng was stunned as he opened his eyes wide to witness the shocking scene.

    Memories were recalled, and it seemed that he had found the reason behind Shadong Town¡¯s destruction.

    It would be impossible for anyone to survive the explosion with such a magnitude!

    For sure, there were none.

    Only D-tier aptitude users could have survived the explosion.

    Bai Li pped her hands together and withdrew the silver light.

    The intense heat wave of the remaining energy from beyond the barrier instantly swept through them.

    At that moment, Gao Li, who was lying on the ground, let out a humming sound, his body gradually shrinking as his fur retracted.

    Soon, Gao Li¡¯s body had reversed to the features of an ordinary human being.

    However, he had yet to regain his consciousness and wake up from the state ofa.

    ¡°Although I have no idea what has just happened, however, it¡¯s not safe here, we should go now!¡± Chen Xiang was perturbed by the uncertainty and danger from the surroundings.

    He performed some quick first aid on Gao Li¡¯s broken limbs and applied his earth ability as ster fixings to stabilize the limbs, Gao Li was then lifted up by conscious energy and was about to be brought away.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Qin Feng agreed to it.

    It was at that moment where Qin Feng was alerted by his ringingmunicator.

    Beep beep beep!

    Everyone from Shadong Town who had survived the disaster received the same message.

    ¡°Is anyone still alive?¡±

    Surprisingly, it was a message from Yan Fang.

    Qin Feng let out a sceptical frown.

    However, before he could reply to the message, a trembling nose was heard from the ruins of the great tower, followed by a gigantic python that was undting out from it.

    Unexpectedly, the python still had limbs of a human attached to the upper part of its body.

    Qin Feng was also able to recognize the person.

    It was Colonel Yang!

    The person who was fond of Hou Yangjiao, and he even had bad intentions toward Qin Feng.

    His eye pupils had already transformed into a pair of vertical shaped pupils of a venomous snake, and the cold eyesight would horrify anyone who came into contact with it, he crawled out from the ruins while extending his tongue, as if he was tasting out the air within the surroundings.

    Then, he turned his head toward Qin Feng¡¯s direction.

    Within a split second, Colonel Yang immediately turned around and escaped with several undtion of its snake tail.

    ¡°Phew!¡±

    Chen Xiang felt an instant relief.

    ¡°What had just happened!¡±

    The unknown was even more horrifying.

    It was the moment where it would only be safe when apanied byrades.

    Chen Xiang looked down and reached out to hismunicator for news broadcasting.

    ¡°There are survivors over here!¡±

    ¡°I am still here!¡±

    ¡°Save me!¡±

    ¡°What had just happened?¡±

    Themunication channel was only meant for D-tier aptitude users of the entire Shadong Town, and Yan Fang¡¯s message received responses from more than twenty people.

    However, there were at least two hundred D-tiers within Shadong Town.

    The number was horrifying.

    What about the others?

    It seemed to be an alert for Qin feng.

    As soon as the news was broadcasted, replies were irregrly scattered, and surprisingly, there were twenty replies that hade in.

    Obviously, they were all D-tier aptitude users.

    Those who had lower capabilities would not have survived the explosion earlier.

    ¡°Although it was still unclear what had just happened, however, since the transformation did not happen on us, it would be best for us to secure our own safety by grouping up, and we will then have massivebined energy!¡± Yan Fang suggested.

    It was at that moment where Qin Feng received a private chat on hismunicator.

    ¡°Mr Qin, are you alright? You should be fine!¡±

    Surprisingly, it was Han Nuan!

    ¡°You survived?¡± Qin Feng was equally surprised as he had never thought that Han Nuan could survive the explosion.

    ¡°I am with the ancient warrior family, and we are all safe!¡±

    Han Nuan was still in the midst of negotiation with all three families, and even the Yang family who had already contributed their money was still there.

    Therefore, Han Nuan had managed to survive.

    ¡°I wille for you, stay there!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Alright, thank you Mr Qin!¡± Han Nuan immediately answered.

    Qin Feng raised up his head and looked toward Chen Xiang.

    ¡°Are you nning to join Yan Fang, or do you want toe with me?¡±

    Chen Xiang was shocked, ¡°Brother Qin, during such times, it would be best for us to stay in arge group!¡±

    Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°This situation is slightly moreplicated, it seems that everyone has experienced mutation, hence, the higher the number of people who gather in a group, the higher the probability of triggering other mutations.¡±

    Chen Xiang nodded. ¡°Indeed!¡±

    ¡°Furthermore...¡± Qin Feng paused for a short moment and replied with his cold voice: ¡°I do not believe in Yan Fang!¡±

    It was the main reason behind it.

    Chen Xiang was stunned, and after giving it some thought, it seemed that following Qin Feng would be the best viable choice.

    ¡°Alright, I will go with you!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s go!¡±

    Both of them rushed toward the location of Han Nuan, after all, Qin Feng was her leader, and it would be inappropriate for him to not save her, with Qin Feng¡¯s capability, he would still be able tounch the rescue even if he had to go against D-tier mutants or even C-tier mutants!

    In order to reach Han Nuan¡¯s location, they would have to pass through the same ruins where Hu Liang had exploded, both of them witnessed the horrifying aftermath from the explosion earlier.

    Furthermore, most of the sand had been crystalized.

    ¡°How could this happen!¡±

    Chen Xiang could not figure out the reason behind it, and it was the fifth time that he had repeated the question throughout the night!

 Chapter 362 - Unusual Changes

    <h4>Chapter 362: Unusual Changes</h4>

    ¡°Even General Hu Liang had...¡± Chen Xiang was unable to continue with his sentence.

    Undoubtedly, Hu Liang was dead.

    Qin Feng exined, ¡°I have encountered some mutant experiment subjects from the Three Cities along the Sun!¡¯

    During the end times, most of the people were already used to seeing mutants around.

    Looking back, a lot had happened throughout the entire span of ten years, and it was only the first year after Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, and the experiment subject count was still being confined within low numbers.

    ¡°As you have mentioned earlier, it would be impossible for the entire town to be involved as experiment subjects!¡±

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°Could it be a mass area infection? For example, air transmission!¡±

    Chen Xiang instantly agreed with Qin Feng¡¯s assumption.

    ¡°Some were sessfully mutated, while some were unable to withstand the massive energy from the mutation, and they would end up exploding!¡±

    For example, the D-tier aptitude user that was next door to Qin Feng.

    Another example would be Hu Liang!

    Both of them were unable to withstand the energy and ended up exploding, however, there was such a huge amount of energy within Hu Liang¡¯s body, and it was indeed terrifying.

    ¡°When I was practicing earlier, were you together with Gao Li? Did anything unusual happen at that moment?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Chen Xiang nodded. ¡°I was drinking alcohol with Gao Li, we were not doing anything else, and there wasn¡¯t any unusual scent either!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, indicating his clear understanding!

    As those were not his top priority, it would be best to first look for Han Nuan first.

    Boom boom boom!

    Deafening explosions echoed from afar, and another giant creature had appeared.

    Surprisingly, it was an Imperial Elephant.

    Furthermore, the Imperial Elephant was still enraged, causing destruction.

    After several encounters with the mutated experiment subjects, Qin Feng was already able to conclude that most of the mutants had the ability of a beast king.

    Hu Liang must have mutated into a beast king; however, he exploded as he could not withstand such a mutation!

    The Imperial Elephant was indeed powerful, and it could hardly be identified as a mutant that was once a human, it had lost its rational mind and was wildly attacking.

    Qin Feng did not wish to delve into more problems and went full speed ahead.

    Chen Xiang and Bai Li followed closely behind.

    By avoiding most of the gigantic beasts, Qin Feng was able to reach Han Nuan¡¯s location within a short period of time.

    ¡°Han Nuan!¡± Qin Feng immediately identified her location with his conscious energy.

    However, Qin Feng did not understand how Han Nuan could be left alone.

    ¡°Mr Qin!¡±

    Han Nuan came out from a house that had partially copsed, and she was followed by another person.

    It was Yang Mao from the Yang family, he had a spear behind his back, and he seemed to be a courteous person!

    ¡°Nice to meet you, Mr Qin!¡±

    ¡°Nice to meet you!¡±

    Qin Feng extended his hand for a handshake.

    Then, Qin Feng turned toward Han Nuan and asked, ¡°Where are the others from the Hou family and Tieh family?¡±

    ¡°They have gone to look for Yan Fang.¡± Han Nuan exined.

    Qin Feng understood the situation, and it was the same as Qin Feng¡¯s distrust toward Yan Fang, the Hou family and the Tieh family had the same distrust toward him as well.

    After all, both of the families had treated Qin Feng badly before, and as the negotiation could hardly bepleted amidst such a dire situation within Shadong Town, both of them were also reluctant to agree in joining forces with Qin Feng.

    However, Yang Mao had an opposite view on it, he was prepared to go around with Qin Feng.

    ¡°After all, they are also an extra burden for us, let¡¯s move on!¡±

    Qin Feng said as he took out his Sky Dweller.

    All six of them boarded the Sky Dweller while Qin Feng steered it to ascend high up into the sky.

    The surveince system clearly disyed the situation of the entire Shadong Town.

    There were less than a thousand people that had survived.

    Moreover, the remaining survivors could hardly escape from the devastated town that was experiencing constant destruction from the D-tier beast generals!

    Qin Feng did not intend to lend a helping hand, as the top priority was to first leave the dangerous ce.

    However, Qin Feng instantly sensed something unusual.

    ¡°The entire Shadong Town has been locked down intentionally!¡±

    Qin Feng saw the silver light that was ahead of him.

    Spatial Lockdown.

    It would be impossible for Qin Feng to ram through the spatial lockdown with his Sky Dweller as he would be instantly brought back by spatial runes, and he might even be hit with Spatial Tearing and be torn into pieces!

    Qin Feng immediately activated the Sky Dweller and released an energy st.

    Boom!

    A ray of light was shot out from the Crystal Energy Cannon.

    The ray of light hit onto the targeted space and disappeared, it was as if the light was instantly intercepted by something else.

    Qin Feng knew that the hit had gone into a different space, and it would be impossible for such an attack to cause any disruption toward the Spatial Lockdown.

    ¡°Do you need me?¡± Bai Li asked as she sat on the co-pilot seat of the Sky Dweller.

    Qin Feng frowned and responded, ¡°Go on, see if there is anyone outside!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡± Bai Li nodded and instantly disappeared from the Sky Dweller.

    Within seconds, Bai Li had returned.

    ¡°There are eleven of them, one of them is a C-tier that has simr capabilities with Xue Jinkuang, the remaining ten of them are D-tiers!¡± Bai Li reported.

    The ten D-tiers were not of much concern, however, the presence of a C-tier alone was already shocking enough.

    When did Shadong Town be a spot to receive regr visits from a C-tier?

    Before this, Xue Jinkuang was here to kill Qin Feng, and now, there must be something else that had caught the interest of a C-tier.

    Qin Feng wondered why they had yet toe in, it appeared that they were expecting the results from the mutations, hence, Qin Feng had to find out what they were up to.

    After all, had the worst not already urred?

    Qin Feng steered the Sky Dweller to descend immediately.

    ¡°What is it? Chen Xiang asked.

    Yang Mao also frowned and answered, ¡°Signals on themunicator have been blocked, there is no way out!¡±

    Yang Mao wanted to make contact with his family members.

    ¡°What sort of enemy could have nned out such a stratagem to block themunication signals and set up the Spatial Lockdown, whoever it is, there must be detailed nning involved!¡± Qin Feng responded with his cold voice. ¡°Regardless of what it is, let¡¯s look for a ce to rest and observe for our next action.¡±

    The central part of Shadong Town was already destroyed, and there were still some buildings left behind, they were near the city wall of the border and safe from the influence of the energy waves, Qin Feng found an underground bunker within Shadong Town and led all six of them to rest inside.

    ¡°It is beyond my expectation that my capabilities have led me here to seek asylum!¡± Yang Mao was frustrated and let out a mockingugh.

    Who would have not thought the same thing?

    Of course, being the only E-tier, Han Nuan was totally fine with it.

    ¡°Mr Qin, something happened to me, and I do not know whether I should tell you!¡± Han Nuan panicked.

    ¡°What is it?¡± Qin Feng looked at her.

    ¡°I have a feeling; I might have also experienced mutation!¡± Han Nuan felt nervous, and as she lifted her head, an energy object appeared out of nowhere and it was right above her head.

    Surprisingly, it was a pitch-ck feather from a swallow.

    ¡°Thunder Swallow!¡± Chen Xiang was able to identify the ultra beast.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s concern was on Han Nuan¡¯s body.

    ¡°Your capability has increased, and it is about three times more than what you had before!¡±

    Han Nuan nodded. ¡°Yes, I am able to summon this swallow, and I have faster movement speed, likewise my vision has improved! I could even feel...¡±

    Han Nuan did not know whether she should be happy about such changes.

    ¡°I might have gotten an ancient warrior disposition, and have also mastered the Thunder Ability!¡±

    Han Nuan raised her hand and a spark of lightning appeared.

    It was indeed the Thunder Ability!¡±

    Qin Feng was instantly shocked by it!

    All of a sudden, he recalled the message from Lin Wuyi when they first met.

 Chapter 363 - Gao Li Awakens

    <h4>Chapter 363: Gao Li Awakens</h4>

    Mutant experimental subjects were divided into different stages of experimentation. After all, each subject carried different genes.

    Whether it was a semi-beastly human, a full-beastly human, or the kind like Ling Wuyi that had mastered the toxin element, they were all the first stage.

    After all, they had all maintained their beast forms, and Ling Wuyi was already the best subject result among their current research.

    Yet, they were still failures.

    It seemed that the Z Organization had proceeded to a different form of experimentation.

    It was like what Ling Wuyi had said¡ªit was the second experimental stage!

    It was an experiment onplete human manifestation without the presence of human genes in the body.

    Qin Feng did not understand what exactly that form was but then after seeing Han Nuan, he suddenly understood.

    It was an energy form.

    This was beyond belief!

    Qin Feng really did not know if he was afraid of or admired the Z Organization!

    ¡°Do you think this energy form is containable?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    If the form were unstable, there was a risk that Han Nuan could explode like a nuclear bomb, and it would be a threat to both Han Nuan and the others.

    ¡°I think it¡¯s quite manageable, how shall I put it? It¡¯s like having an innate ability!¡±

    Innate abilities, it was just like Qin Feng¡¯s devourment ability.

    ¡°Could this be some kind of a strange encounter?¡±

    Having abilities was something that everyone dreamed of.

    With abilities, the individual¡¯s power would skyrocket, and there was no limit to what the person could do in the future.

    If this power were stable, there was no doubt that Han Nuan had earned a great deal.

    ¡°Strange encounters have to be fated as well, and the chances of survival were very slim. Now that there¡¯s still a spatial lockdown outside, it¡¯s clear that we¡¯ve be a turtle in a jar!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Chen Xiang gritted his teeth. ¡°Who the hell is that? He¡¯s a wild one isn¡¯t he, and he has destroyed the entire Shadong Town! Without Shadong Town, the ultra beasts from the North Sea Desert will definitely reach the Four Cities of the Northern Sea, and if that happens, the lives of thousands of ordinary civilians will be in danger!¡±

    They were the foundation of humanity!

    ¡°We...we¡¯ve be their test subjects!¡± Qin Feng said.

    The others were silent.

    Han Nuan did not say anything either. She had gained new abilities, but it was hard to tell if it was a blessing or a curse!

    ¡°How about we take a rest! We¡¯ll work on our n to get out in the morning!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    They woke up after only having four hours of sleep. After an entire night of fighting and escaping, it was now dawn.

    ¡°Ooh...¡± A yawn was heard, and it was actually Gao Li who had just woken up.

    ¡°Brother Gao, how are you feeling? Do you feel any difort?¡± Chen Xiang asked.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Gao Li had a splitting headache. Everything felt like a dream, but he could only remember bits and pieces of it. ¡°Qin Feng, thank you!¡±

    If it were not for Qin Feng, Gao Li would have been dead!

    ¡°I was wondering, if Gao Li can recover, does that mean others can too?¡± Qin Feng frowned.

    Back then in the Spring Hunting Ground, Chen Ming had also returned to his human form after he was weakened, but he was so badly injured that he could not be saved.

    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that mean that the others can still be saved?¡± Chen Xiang was pleasantly surprised.

    ¡°Well, there¡¯s no harm in trying!¡±

    If Shadong Town was really destroyed, it would be bad news for everyone. Besides, would that not be just like letting the Z Organization have their way?

    Although Qin Feng did not know what the organization was plotting, the enemy was in a bad position, and Qin Feng felt great about it!

    After having some food to satiate their hunger, they nned to go out and have a look, leaving Gao Li alone in the basement to recuperate.

    As soon as the group left the basement, there was a sudden violent vibration.

    Qin Feng and the others immediately quickened their footsteps.

    Soon, the scene on the outside came into view.

    In the middle of the ruins, a huge, five-meter long and three-meter tall tusked hog was snorting at a group of people.

    Coincidentally, the people that were being chased by the hog were actually Yan Fang and his group.

    Yan Fang had brought more than fifty survivors with him, twenty of them were D-tiers, only two or three were F-tiers, and the rest were E-tiers.

    They were a strong group, and they were more than capable of handling that huge tusked hog.

    Soon, the huge tusked hog was heavily scarred and unable to move!

    ¡°Stop it!¡± Chen Xiang was unable to hold back any longer. He walked out, and with a raise of his hand, an earth wall erupted from the ground.

    Boom!

    The earth wall was pierced by the long de that was thrown out from Yan Fang¡¯s hand. Even with his internal force infused into the de, it was still unable to deliver another fatal blow to the tusked hog!

    The group looked vigntly in Chen Xiang¡¯s direction, and there was surprise in their eyes.

    ¡°Brother Chen, it¡¯s you!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did you interrupt my attack?¡±

    Everyone was also surprised to see Chen Xiang.

    At this moment, the other four people, including Qin Feng, walked up to Chen Xiang¡¯s side. All twenty people were also delighted to see Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s strength was evident to all. It was possible for him to defeat a beast king alone, much less a beast general.

    ¡°Everyone, regarding the disaster that struck yesterday, we suspect that it was due to a man-made experiment. We, all of us, have fallen into the enemy¡¯s trap.¡±

    After Qin Feng had finished his sentence, the delightful expression on all of their faces from seeing Qin Feng had turned serious, yet they were still calm.

    Naturally, they had also guessed the same thing.

    Otherwise, there was no way the entire Shadong Town would have changed for no reason.

    ¡°Yeah, guys, these ultra beasts are our past allies. Yesterday, Gao Li was turned into one of these beasts, but Qin Feng managed to contain him and he finally returned to his human form after a while, so we might as well try to save as many allies as we can!¡± Chen Xiang tried to persuade the others.

    ¡°But wouldn¡¯t that be a little too dangerous?¡± Yan Fang frowned in disapproval.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes fell on Yan Fang.

    Although he had no idea what Yan Fang had in mind, the more Yan Fang disagreed with his n, the more Qin Feng felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

    ¡°Well, I¡¯m here, so what¡¯s there to be afraid of? If you guys don¡¯t mind, you can hand this mutant to me and I¡¯ll show you!¡± Qin Feng pointed at the tusked hog.

    The group looked at each other, not knowing what to decide.

    Qin Feng let out a sneer, ¡°Based on the direction that all of you are heading, are you attempting to get out of Shadong Town? Don¡¯t waste your energy, I already tried itst night. Shadong Town is currently under a spatial lockdown!¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Who did this?¡±

    ¡°Is it really not a coincidence that all this is happening?

    Everyone was shocked.

    ¡°What¡¯s their purpose? What do they want? Trapping us here so we¡¯ll finish each other off?¡±

    After one of the men heard this, he had a sudden change in mind. ¡°I agree with Mr Qin¡¯s idea. Anyway, this tusked hog is also a mutant, and I believe none of us arecking materials, so why not give it to Qin Feng?¡±

    ¡°Well, we can all help take care of it too!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, how about we go along for the ride?¡±

    They were now all now staring at Qin Feng.

    Because among the people present, they had no doubt that Qin Feng was the strongest.

    That also meant that following Qin Feng would naturally guarantee their safety.

 Chapter 364 - Yan Fangâ€™s Little Tricks

    <h4>Chapter 364: Yan Fang¡¯s Little Tricks</h4>

    With their current situation, the aptitude users had unintentionally understood what it really meant by ¡°finish each other off¡±.

    These mutants were indeed powerful, but if they hadpletely lost their minds and attacked wildly, would that not be killing each other?

    Qin Feng understood what these people had in mind and finally said, ¡°Do as you please! If you want to follow me, then follow.¡±

    The group immediately rejoiced gleefully.

    But soon, someone made a disapproving sound.

    ¡°Are you sure that it was a spatial blockade that you sawst night? Maybe the blockade has been removed now, I think it¡¯s better that we go and check it out!¡± Hou Yangsheng said.

    The edge of Qin Feng¡¯s lips hooked into a smirk as he looked indifferently at Hou Yangsheng.

    ¡°I¡¯ve said this earlier, those who want to follow me, do it. For those who don¡¯t, do anything you please.¡±

    Qin Feng did not even need to make sure that he was right anymore, as Bai Li could report on the situation to him at any moment.

    Hou Yangsheng was strong and he was from an ancient warrior family. Since he was used to being in charge, this time he had expressed his discontentment to Qin Feng¡¯s ns, but Qin Feng simply did not care!

    Qin Feng took a step forward, and the crowd immediately made way for him to approach the tusked hog mutant.

    Qin Feng took a look at the hog, and the hog hadpletely lost its will to fight. Its bloodshot eyes had gradually returned to ck and white.

    If he continued to leave the hog like this, it would probably be dead before it could recover.

    Qin Feng used his consciousness to lift the tusked hog¡¯s body, then he proceeded to scan his surroundings with his consciousness and found an area with a tter ground.

    The others stared at each other before quickly followed behind Qin Feng.

    The ce Qin Feng had chosen was nothing more than the front square of a shopping mall, with a smooth ground that was shaded from the zing sun.

    Moreover, since it was far away from the central area, Hu Liang¡¯s previous explosion had not destroyed this ce, which was a relief.

    Qin Feng ced the tusked hog mutant on the t ground.

    ¡°Are there any water and light element-based ability users here? I need some help with healing this hog.¡±

    ¡°Mr Qin, I¡¯ll do it!¡±

    ¡°A little bandaging on this part will do!¡±

    Two people quickly emerged from among the crowd to treat the humongous tusked hog¡¯s wounds.

    Qin Feng swept through the crowd and found that Yan Fang was actually following him.

    Instead, Hou Yangsheng and the Tieh family went out of the city to see if there would be anything new.

    Half an hourter, the tusked hog¡¯s body suddenly twitched and its boar-like features began to disappear. Its huge body shrank into the size of a normal human being.

    ¡°Chubby Kong, it¡¯s actually you!¡±

    The crowd was shocked.

    The water elemental ability user immediately came to his aid, and all of his injuries were all healed.

    But Chubby Kong was still weak. After sustaining such serious injuries together with the internal injuries caused by the gic mutation, there was no way he could recover without half a year¡¯s time.

    ¡°It seems that Qin Feng was right, these mutants can indeed recover!¡±

    ¡°I just don¡¯t know what might happen after that!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not our concern for the moment, let¡¯s save the mutants first, or else the entire Shadong Town will definitely be destroyed!¡±

    Before this, Shadong Town relied on over two hundred D-tier aptitude users to protect the town. Not only was Hu Liang now dead, there were actually only twenty or more aptitude users left. With just one massive attack from the ultra beasts, the entire Shadong Town was ttened and destroyed!

    ¡°Bai Li, bring back the mutants, and remember to not kill them, just leave them half dead!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Alright! It¡¯s dangerous outside, so I suggest you all wait here!¡±

    After that, Bai Li left with her heels on!

    The others were all surprised.

    ¡°Mr Qin, it¡¯s not a good idea to let Ms Bai go by herself!¡±

    ¡°If you guys feel queasy about it, you can still catch up with her, but it¡¯ll just be a waste of time!¡±

    As he was saying that, a roar was hearding from a distance. Apparently, a violent battle had taken ce, and screams were heard all over the ce.

    In less than ten minutes, Bai Li had returned. Not only that, she used her consciousness to drag not only one, but three mutants back to the base.

    The three mutants looked weird.

    With Qin Feng¡¯s previous approach, the crowd naturally understood what to do. With some careful treatment, not only would the mutants not die, they would not get hurt either.

    Just at this time, Yan Fang had returned from the mall with two shopping carts.

    ¡°Well, I didn¡¯t even have a good meal yesterday, and since it¡¯s been a busy day today, let¡¯s have a tiny feast!¡±

    Yan Fang handed out some meat jerkies, somepressed rations, and a bottle of water to each person.

    ¡°This is our only way to cope with hunger for the meantime during this special asion,¡± said Yan Fang as he unscrewed a bottle of water. Then, he saw Qin Feng beside him, and he stammered before offering the bottle of water to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Mr Qin, have some water!¡±

    Qin Feng batted an eye at Yan Fang, yet he did not take the bottle of water, leaving Yan Fang¡¯s hand in mid-air. For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit awkward!

    The people around seemed to have noticed the awkwardness in the air and had their eyes set on the two men.

    They all stopped chewing their food and stared on.

    ¡°Heh, Mr Qin, are you not going to drink? I¡¯ll leave it here for you!¡± Yan Fang withdrew his hand and screwed on the cap of the water battle.

    The expression on Yan Fang¡¯s face turned ugly, but the others did not suspect much. After all, whoever that was humiliated this way would not feel good either.

    ¡°Mr Yan, there¡¯s no need to worry about me, you drink first!¡±

    This time, Qin Feng picked up the water bottle and handed it to Yan Fang.

    Only, Yan Fang did not take it. ¡°No, I¡¯ll go get one for myself!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that much trouble!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the trouble with that?¡±

    Looking at them, it was apparent that they were faking their politeness and were being sarcastic.

    ¡°Yan Fang, why don¡¯t you drink the water first, and let me see what¡¯s the matter?¡± Qin Feng snickered.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Mr Qin, what are you talking about?¡± Yan Fang chuckled ufortably.

    The expressions of the two men changed once again.

    Qin Feng¡¯s look became even colder.

    On the other hand, Yan Fang¡¯s expression was filled with panic mixed with guilt. Sweat broke out on his forehead.

    ¡°What am I talking about? Before this, you were the leader of the Freemen Alliance, and now you¡¯re being courteous and polite? What¡¯s more, the people present here are all D-tier aptitude users, all of whom are equipped with spatial rune equipment. How would they not have food and water prepared in their equipment? Are you trying to buy your way with them using these cheap food and water?¡±

    As Qin Feng was speaking, those who ate the food given by Yan Fang were shocked.

    Qin Feng was right, these beef jerkys and crackers might not be made of low-grade ingredients, but they were still different from what they would usually eat, more inferior even.

    But now that Shadong Town was almost at the brink ofplete destruction, they had entered the age of desperation and instead did not feel that there was anything wrong with the food.

    But now, it seemed that there was a big problem.

    It seemed that Yan Fang still had not given up yet and had something to say.

    But Qin Feng was not going to let him waste his time.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand and a huge suction vortex was formed on his hand. Although Yan Fang was a D8-tier ancient warrior, he was still instantly pulled to Qin Feng¡¯s side under his full power outburst.

    Boom!

    Qin Fengnded a mighty punch on Yan Fang¡¯s stomach.

 Chapter 365 - Catching Yan Fang

    <h4>Chapter 365: Catching Yan Fang</h4>

    The punch was so powerful that it almost broke Yan Fang¡¯s intestines.

    As the attack was too sudden, Yan Fang was not able to produce his internal energy shield fast enough to resist the attack.

    ¡°Ouch!¡±

    Yan Fang spurted a mouthful of blood.

    When he was about to control his internal force to resist Qin Feng¡¯s attack, for some reason, he felt that his internal force was drawn out into Qin Feng¡¯s fist.

    For a time, Yan Fang felt the internal force in his meridians flowing backward, and his entire body twitched uncontrobly.

    The eight water pools of his internal force were all siphoned off by Qin Feng.

    Yan Fang¡¯s liver and gall dder began to break.

    ¡°You... what have you done!¡± Yan Fang did not expect Qin Feng to actually strike so viciously, and his moves were so unpredictable.

    His internal force was emptied out!

    Yan Fang clearly felt that the space in his dantian was actually shrinking, and his cultivation had regressed!

    Yan Fang was shocked when he realized that Qin Feng had actually disabled his ancient warrior strength.

    ¡°What¡¯ve I done? I just wanted you to have a drink of your own water!¡± Qin Feng snickered.

    With a wave of his hand, the water battle that was previously ced on the ground by Yan Fang appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    Yan Fang stared at it with his mouth wide open.

    Qin Feng did not give Yan Fang the chance to refuse and grabbed hold of his cheeks so that his mouth would stay open.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    Yan Fang tried to resist, but Qin Feng¡¯s strength was too great!

    With his internal force nullified, Yan fang was unable to shake off Qin Feng with his iling arms even though Qin Feng did not have control over his body.

    With Qin Feng having the strength and body of a beast king, and with Yan Fang¡¯sck of internal force, even if he took a knife out now, he would not be able to pierce through Qin Feng¡¯s skin with it.

    ¡°Arghh...argh...¡±

    Water was poured forcefully into Yan Fang¡¯s mouth to the point where he choked and spurted water through his nostrils. At least half a bottle of water was poured into Yan Fang¡¯s tummy.

    Qin Feng finally loosened his grip on Yan Fang¡¯s cheeks.

    ¡°So, what¡¯ve I done? Did I make you throw up?¡±

    Qin Feng stepped on Yan Fang¡¯s hand.

    ¡°If you¡¯re not guilty, why did you spit out the water?¡±

    Yan Fang was in a mess.

    His body was trembling hard, and he was afraid that something might happen next.

    However, some time passed and Yan Fang found that he had not changed much, and he became arrogant again.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I know you disliked me ever since the first time we met, you¡¯re just deliberately screwing with me. Are you happy now that I¡¯ve lost my internal force? I didn¡¯t expect you to be this sinister!¡±

    I was as though Yan Fang had poured a bucket of sh*t on top of Qin Feng, making everyone else slightly suspicious of Qin Feng¡¯s action as well.

    It was true that Yan Fang had not changed much, but this was because Yan Fang had made some gic mutation on himself before this.

    In fact, Yan Fang was desperately trying to maintain control over his body so his body would not change.

    When Qin Feng let go of him, Yan Fang was thinking of leaving the scene with the excuse of being angry, and then he would think of other ways to suppress his transformation.

    It was only that Qin Feng would not give him the chance.

    ¡°Is it because the effect is slower or the dosage wasn¡¯trge enough?¡±

    Qin Feng sneered as he raised his hand.

    Using his consciousness, the water bottles that Yan Fang had previously distributed to the others now fell into Qin Feng¡¯s hands.

    The expression on Yan Fang¡¯s face became distorted.

    ¡°It¡¯s just water, what are you so afraid of?¡±

    Qin Feng sneered again.

    Yan Fang let out a roar. In the blink of an eye, his limbs were covered in pitch-ck fur, and his palms had turned into feline paws.

    He might not have his internal force anymore, but he still had his physical strength.

    Yan Fang forcefully broke away from Qin Feng¡¯s grip and was about to make his escape in that instant.

    After witnessing such a scene, the people around them were instantly confused.

    It was too much of a change.

    ¡°The water had been poisoned?¡±

    Chen Xiang instantly roared.

    Moreover, this time there was no need for Qin Feng to issue amand to the people around him. All of them immediately intercepted Yan Fang.

    ¡°Scram!¡±

    Mutants did not need internal strength. After Yan Fang had be a mutant, his strength had skyrocketed to the level of a beast general. Besides, he was a D8-tier himself, so it would not be easy to stop him.

    The people who impulsively chased behind him were ripped open by Yan Fang¡¯s ws.

    Boom!

    Their internal force barrier shattered following the w swipe.

    Qin Feng had his internal force set in motion and his Dragon Steps unleashed to catch up to Yan Fang.

    Yan Fang was so taken aback that he could not care less about the others. With a single leap, he jumped high up andnded on top of a tall building.

    Then, his moves were speedier and more agile, and he began to run frantically like a wild cheetah.

    Did he really think it would be that easy to shake Qin Feng off his tracks?

    ¡°Fiery Peacock Wings!¡±

    Blue mes erupted from Qin Feng¡¯s back and turned into two wings, propelling Qin Feng forward.

    Yan Fang was clearly heading toward the town¡¯s outskirts.

    The walls surrounding Shadong Town were not any weaker than the other city walls. In fact, they were even sturdier, taller and wider. Yan Fang did not think about jumping over the walls to escape, so he headed toward the eastern city gate along the way.

    Only at this time, there were seven or eight people at the eastern gate, studying the spatial blockade.

    Yan Fang¡¯s sudden appearance made them jump.

    Then, a ball of blue me struck the ground.

    Boom!

    It was Qin Feng¡¯s peacock fire!

    The fiery peacock was so powerful that it exploded directly on Yan Fang¡¯s body, knocking him out of the ground and causing searing burns all over his body.

    His escape n was ruined!

    Qin Feng stepped forward with the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    A ten-meter me de erupted from the de, swallowing Yan Fang whole.

    Yan Fang stared with widened eyes as he rolled over to avoid the fire.

    Only, Qin Feng¡¯s sword re was too quick. Although Yan Fang dodged the mes, one of his hands was still on the ground the moment he rolled over when the mes struck.

    It was his paw, covered in ck fur with sharp ws.

    It was Yan Fang¡¯s hand after his mutation.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    Yan Fang shrieked in pain as he watched Qin Feng sh toward him again.

    Hou Yangsheng and Tieh Xin watched the entire scene,pletely clueless of the situation.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Wasn¡¯t Yan Fang just fine earlier?¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, what¡¯s going on here?¡± Hou Yangsheng asked, frowning.

    An idea shed in Yan Fang¡¯s mind. ¡°Mr Hou, Qin Fang is a murderer! He poisoned my water, that¡¯s why I turned out like this!¡± He shouted.

    The expression on Hou Yangsheng and the others¡¯ faces suddenly changed!

    They looked at Qin Feng in disbelief.

    But Qin Feng did not care about them at all, and he was closing in on the distance between him and Yan Fang!

    ¡°Yan Fang, since you¡¯re heading outside, could it be that you¡¯ve the key to the spatial blockade?¡±

    Yan Fang shouted in panic and fear, ¡°No, Mr Hou, save me!¡±

    Desperation filled Yan Fang¡¯s eyes as everyone took a step back. No one, not even Hou Yangsheng, came forward to save him.

    Who dared to save him?

    Qin Feng had killed a C-tier ancient warrior, who was the first-generation head of an ancient warrior family. A family that was passed down for hundreds of years in the Four Cities of the North Sea, whose ancestors had also survived the big catastrophe!

    Hou Yangsheng felt that even his own family would not be able to stop Qin Feng, let alone himself.

    With each step Qin Feng took, the mes on his saber began to die down.

    He shed horizontally with the saber.

    ¡°Argh!¡± Yan Fang screamed as his legs werepletely severed.

    ¡°Yan Fang, tell me, are you in the same league with the Z Organization?¡±

    Qin Feng approached a little closer. His voice was encased with his internal strength as he asked.

    The twisted expression on Yan Fang¡¯s face was frozen.

 Chapter 366 - Conspiracy Uncovered

    <h4>Chapter 366: Conspiracy Uncovered</h4>

    ¡°How did you know?¡± Yan Fang stared at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng snickered at the question. This time, there was no need for him to use his internal force!

    Qin Feng felt that before his rebirth, Shadong Town¡¯s unsuspected disappearance was probably rted to the C-tier aptitude user outside.

    But that would not be the case now.

    With Qin Feng here, he might not be able to kill the C-tier user, but at least he could hold him off.

    The news regarding the destruction of Shadong Town would have probably spread to the Human Alliance by now

    If that were the case, what was there to hide?

    Qin Feng felt that by now, it was getting harder and harder to uncover the truth about the Z Organization. There were too few clues, so it was better to let the Human Alliance handle it.

    ¡°You guys really got ahead of yourselves, huh? You have so manybs located in the Three Cities along the Sun, and now you¡¯re stirring up trouble in the Four Cities of the North Sea. Did you really think that you didn¡¯t leave any traces behind?¡±

    Yan Fang¡¯s face turned pale.

    He now understood that Qin Feng knew what their n was.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I regret my actions. I should¡¯ve warned them to only carry out the n after your departure from the city!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, without me, you guys might have actually seeded!¡±

    That was because before his rebirth, their n had really seeded.

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t you think that we¡¯ve failed now! We still have cards to y, and we¡¯ve power that you can never imagine!¡±

    ¡°Power that I can never imagine? You mean your trump card is a C-tier aptitude user?¡± Qin Feng replied ndly.

    Yan Fang was shocked!

    Just then, heughed out loud.

    ¡°Qin Feng, since you already know, why don¡¯t you start running? I do have the key to open the Spatial Blockade with me, but I can only allow one person to leave. How about you take it and leave, and I¡¯ll ask my bosses to leave you alone!¡±

    ¡°Do you think it¡¯s possible?¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t forget, our organization is very strong. Even if you¡¯ve killed Xue Jinkuang, do you really think you can kill a C2-tier beast king aptitude user?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s pupil shrank for a moment once he heard what Yan Fang had said.

    A C-tier king user!

    Such a strong and powerful user.

    No wonder Yan Fang was acting so arrogantly now.

    A mutant with such strength was indeed not easy to deal with.

    However, all of this had changed because of one person.

    To be more precise, it was because of an ultra beast!

    Bai Li!

    Bai Li¡¯s current strength just so happened to be a C-tier beast emperor!

    As such, Qin Feng was feeling confident.

    ¡°Just because I¡¯m not able to kill him now, doesn¡¯t mean I won¡¯t be able to do thatter in the future. As for you, it¡¯s better for you to be my prisoner!¡±

    Qin Feng locked his consciousness onto Yan Fang, dragging the half-dead opponent with him.

    Hou Yangsheng and Tieh Xin looked at each other as they watched Qin Feng walk away.

    ¡°We should follow Qin Feng. Now, it seems that there will be an ambush outside!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not necessarily safe to go out now, maybe they are killing every witness to this catastrophe. If that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s a good idea to follow Qin Feng.¡±

    ¡°We should go now so we don¡¯t get left behind!¡±

    These people had also returned to the za of the mall that Qin Feng had chosen.

    This time, there was a group of mutants that had beenid in front of the mall, and with just a quick nce, there were already more than thirty of them!

    Bai Li happened to be there too.

    ¡°Bai Li,e over to interrogate him!¡±

    Qin Feng pointed at Yan Fang.

    The others came forward to see what was happening. After all, what happened before was simply too suspicious to them. Yan Fang had transformed into a mutant just by taking a sip of the water, and for this, they felt that something fishy was going on.

    While these people were thinking of ways to interrogate Yan Fang, Bai Li already had control over Yan Fang with her consciousness.

    Yan Fang¡¯s internal strength was nullified, and his consciousness was weakened when he was in his mutant body.

    Soon, every part of the n from the poisoning, the mutation, and the ns afterward were all revealed.

    Everyone took in a deep gulp of air.

    Qin Feng was listening at the side in silence.

    In fact, the more he learned about the Z Organization, the more he felt that it was no longer a personal matter.

    The organization was very dangerous.

    This time, the destruction of Shadong Town was probably just one of the organization¡¯s many schemes.

    The poisoning of Shadong Town¡¯s reservoir was dyed for six hours. Moreover, there were idents and many people had be experimental subjects.

    The experimental subjects the Z Organization were studying were getting stronger and stronger.

    At the very beginning, the mutant that Qin Feng had encountered still required a lot ofplex experiments to modify the gene structure of the mutant¡¯s body.

    Now, they did not require such processes!

    ¡°No wonder I¡¯m fine. Last night, I ate some food outside, but nothing happened to me!¡± An aptitude user said in relief.

    ¡°I did drink some of the water, but it did not have any reaction to my body!¡± Another aptitude user said with a worried expression.

    ¡°I... I did have some reaction to it, but I did notpletely lose my consciousness! Maybe, this is the type of positive result the organization was trying to achieve,¡± said another aptitude user.

    When one person started to speak up, the others naturally followed suit as well. They were all like Han Nuan, who suddenly had the power to summon an energy ultra beast.

    This sess probability.

    Was ridiculously low.

    Surprisingly, there were ten of them among the group.

    That amounted to a one in two hundred chance of sess among these subjects.

    The Z Organization had just taken human lives to fulfil their experimental research.

    This kind of research was something only a dark organization would do!

    ¡°Earlier, what was the C-tier aptitude user going to do to us? Take us away?¡±

    This matter had clearly started to worry them.

    Qin Feng thought of the message he had gotten before his rebirth and made a guess, ¡°Kill the witnesses, take those who should be taken away.¡±

    The expression on everyone¡¯s face changed.

    ¡°That means, we should unite, and with Brother Qin and Princess Bai on our side, there¡¯s no need for us to be afraid,¡± said Chen Xiang.

    ¡°As for the injured, if they have regained their human form, quickly treat their wounds so after that they can have the strength to escape on their own!¡± Qin Feng said as everyone had their eyes set on him. Qin Feng understood that they were all waiting for him to make up his mind.

    Qin Feng was the one in charge.

    ¡°Search the town and see if there are any hover copter¡¯s left. Put the injured there, and once the people from the organizatione in, you guys have to immediately split up and run!¡±

    ¡°Run out and be sure to report the case to the Human Alliance so they can send people here to deal with this matter. After all, the well-being of Shadong Town does affect the safety of the Four Cities of the North Sea, and safety is crucial to them!¡±

    ¡°Of course, you yourselves have to make up your own mind. After all, those who¡¯re injured may also develop a little bit of mutation in the future, but I hope you do not use this power to do things that go against the Human Alliance in the future. When that happens, not just the Human Alliance, even I will never forgive you!¡±

    There was a hint of murderous tone in Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    These people had their fate changed because of Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, and Qin Feng certainly did not want to have some kind of mutant alliance existing in the future.

    ***

    At this moment, outside the town of Shadong, arge airliner was parked with hundreds of people being loaded up into the cargo area.

    Inside the airliner, there were various weird-looking chairs, but all of them had chains and belts to restrain a human body.

    Obviously, the Z Organization hade prepared.

    ¡°Lord Yan, I¡¯m afraid things did not go as nned inside Shadong Town right now!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Yan Shuo frowned.

    As a C-tier aptitude user, he did not like having his ns ruined by surprises.

    ¡°We¡¯ve not received any report from Yan Fang for quite a long time!¡±

    Yan Shuo¡¯s face changed.

    The rtionship between Yan Fang and Yan Shuo was not that simple. They were very close, because Yan Fang was his biological little brother.

 Chapter 367 - Guo Geng Goes Ahead

    <h4>Chapter 367: Guo Geng Goes Ahead</h4>

    Yan Shuo lived in the shadows but Yan Fang had been lurking in Shadong Town this entire time, he even had an identity in the Human Alliance.

    Judging by his capabilities, if Yan Fang could be a C-Tier, he could have entered the higher levels of the Human Alliance.

    But now, there was no news from the other!

    ¡°Maybe I should go myself, and see what¡¯s happened!¡± Yan Shuo said.

    The higher ups rarely acted on their own, all they needed was to issue amand and there would be more people willing to help

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll go!¡± Guo Geng volunteered, obviously trying to curry vor with Yan Shuo.

    ¡°Right, maybe we should try to bring Yan Fang back. Right now, Shandong Town is filled with mutants. Previously, Hu Liang had a gic mutation outburst and I¡¯m afraid that the explosion might have destroyed many of our experiments. Who knows if there will be other idents that might happen!¡±

    Yan Shuo was still very nervous regarding his own little brother.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry Sir Yan, I willplete this mission!¡±

    Guo Geng got off the ne after he finished speaking and headed toward Shadong Town.

    At this time, Shadong Town was surrounded by one meter wide transmitters that emitted a silver light that covered the entire town. The inside waspletely sealed off, only those with special equipment could enter or exit.

    Guo Geng was outside, fiddling about with a few buttons on a transmitter¡¯s panel.

    The silver light suddenly revealed a two meter high and one meter wide space.

    Shadong Town was in that space!

    Guo Geng appeared just outside of the eastern town wall. With internal force flowing through his legs, he ran up the wall and hopped into the town.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng did not kill Yan Fang. He kept him alive so he could be handed off to the Human Alliance to be dealt with, maybe they could get some useful information out of him. Qin Feng did not have the time to properly interrogate him anyway.

    After a busy day, Bai Li had managed to escort back all of the alive but wounded D-tiers in Shadong Town.

    But there were a few that were probably still in hiding.

    For example, Qin Feng remembered seeing Yang Xiao, who had turned into a snake person.

    Because of some crossed boundaries, the other did not really trust him!

    ¡°What¡¯s the situation now?¡±

    Qin Feng asked a Water ability user who was busy inspecting people.

    ¡°There are fifty people who have returned to their original forms. From what I¡¯ve gathered, their condition¡¯s not so good, they¡¯re weak and are suffering from overexertion. Even after getting healed, I¡¯m afraid their strength will be drastically lower!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, how could there be no side effects of such a tyrannical experiment?

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The beastman beside him suddenly bellowed and when Qin Feng turned to look, he realized it still had a vaguely human face. A familiar face.

    ¡°Lei Chen!¡± Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, not expecting to see him.

    At this time, Lei Chen¡¯s eyes were bloodshot with depravity and bloodlust. All he could think of was wanting to kill Qin Feng.

    It seemed that Lei Chen¡¯s hatred toward Qin Feng had reached the point of instinct. Even after suffering from such serious injuries, he was still trying to fight.

    Qin Feng sneered, pumping internal force into his hand and chopping at the top of Lei Chen¡¯s head.

    Crack!

    The sound of Lei Chen¡¯s skull breaking could be heard upon impact, then blood began to slide down his mutated hair.

    Lei Chen was in!

    Qin Feng pulled his hand away and shook it instinctively. Since there was internal force around his hand, there would not have been any blood on it.

    ¡°This one¡¯s too far gone and can¡¯t be saved, so I decided to deal with it,¡± he said.

    The Water ability user nodded, looking at Qin Feng with wide eyes.

    ¡°Right, I understand!¡±

    After making a round, Qin Feng looked at the general situation. Those who had been injured would revert back to normal in about half an hour, those who had stayed in their forms for more than two hours were at the point of no return.

    The probability for that was fifty-fifty. In other words, this plot had directly caused the deaths of a hundred and more D-tier aptitude users in Shadong Town.

    This kind of lethality would cause an uproar.

    ¡°Move those who have changed back into humans inside and let them rest!¡±

    It was already starting to get dark, it was not right to just leave injured people lying on the ground.

    Those who were not injured began to help out, the only person that nobody was paying attention to was Yan Fang.

    All his limbs had been broken, but the bleeding was stopped by the Water ability user. However, with an empty dantian and the lethargy of having transformed into a beast previously, he was pretty much a cripple at this moment.

    A cripple with a very powerful C-tier older brother.

    At this time Guo Geng had alsoe along to see the scene of the mall that Qin Feng was in and witnessed the mess and chaos.

    ¡°Sir Yan, Shadong Town¡¯s aptitude users have defeated all of the mutated experiments and put them into a small square. There are about one hundred and fifty subjects, some of them have turned back into humans.It looks like they¡¯re the first level of the mature forms!¡±

    Guo Geng understood that the first stage mutants came in different forms, there was the immature form, the mature form and the perfect form.

    Lin Wuyi was obviously considered as the perfect form. Mature forms could turn into beasts and immature forms could not even turn back into their human state.

    Now with so many mature forms lying around, this would be very helpful to the experiment.

    The most important thing was that now that these people were weak, they could be easily taken away!

    This was actually quite convenient!

    ¡°Do you see any second level experiment forms?¡±

    ¡°Sir, the characteristics of the second level experiments are not exposed. It¡¯s hard to investigate right now!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, understood. Proceed.¡±

    Yan Shuo knew that the second level was merely just theory and conjecture, whether or not they could manifest was an entirely different story!

    It was then that Guo Geng suddenly let out a gasp.

    ¡°Sir! I found Yan Fang, he...he...¡± Guo Geng could not believe what he was seeing and at the same time felt extremely angry.

    This was not the kind of anger that one would feel if they see their friends get dropped.

    No, it was because Yan Fang was injured too severely. If such a cripple was saved, he was afraid that he would not get Yan Shuo¡¯s praise.

    He had promised to bring Yan Fang back earlier, but how could he bring him back like this?

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What happened to Yan Fang?¡± Yan Shuo asked in a serious tone, his heart beginning to sink.

    But he did not receive anything else from the other side.

    From the darkness, someone had suddenly appeared next to Guo Geng.

    It was Qin Feng.

    ¡°Guo Geng!¡±

    Qin Feng naturally recognized the person. His consciousness had reached a terrifying level, without releasing it he could detect anything unusual around him. Guo Geng was being sneaky and that ended up drawing Qin Feng¡¯s attention.

    Dark Shroud had allowed Qin Feng to approach without being seen.

    As soon as his name was called out, Guo Geng jumped and was taken aback. He quickly backpedaled away, looking at Qin Feng.

    He did not recognize Qin Feng, only knowing that the other knew his identity. An identity that was not something that should be spoken about openly.

    The head of the Desert Eagle Group, a member of the Dark Coalition.

    ¡°Boy, you shouldn¡¯t have approached me. You should have run away the moment you saw me!¡±

 Chapter 368 - Tailing Out Of Town

    <h4>Chapter 368: Tailing Out Of Town</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s features made him seem like he was barely an adult!

    Guo Geng believed that this person was not very strong.

    Plus, Qin Feng had previouslye back from meditating in the Battlegod Tomb and was wearing casual clothes, not hisbat uniform. He was not even wearing his D-tier aptitude user badge.

    Guo Geng did not hesitate, letting out a cruel chuckle as he quickly appeared right in front of Qin Feng with a single step.

    In the next moment, his hand was already reaching toward Qin Feng¡¯s neck.

    Guo Gengpared killing this boy to be the equivalent of butchering a chick. However, he would soon realize that Qin Feng was not some new-born fledgling farm bird.

    Qin Feng made his move as well, striking out with a fist wreathed in internal force toward Guo Geng.

    The other¡¯s smile faded, there was something in his conscience that told him that something was awry.

    ¡°Metal Arm!¡±

    His internal force was quickly activated but in that rush, he was not able to activate his internal force barrier so he could only cover his arm in internal force and spread it over his palm before trying to intercept Qin Feng.

    ng!

    Qin Feng¡¯s fist mmed into Guo Geng¡¯s arm

    It felt like hitting a piece of solid metal, even causing the sound when metal gets punched, but this metal would not have been enough to resist Qin Feng¡¯s attack and instantly got bent.

    A look of pain shed across Guo Geng¡¯s face.

    Crack!

    His arm was broken.

    The internal force in his body could not help him maintain his bnce and he was immediately sent flying by this massive blow.

    Boom!

    He crashed into an already shaky building behind him and caused it to copse.

    That looked like it hurt!

    ¡°Bastard!¡±

    Since Qin Feng did not use his full power, Guo Geng did not realize how strong Qin Feng was. He only thought that he had underestimated this young person.

    Click! His arm realigned itself before he radiated internal force in order to shield himself from additional attacks.

    ¡°Kid, you¡¯re going to die today!¡± Guo Geng roared. ¡°And if you survive, then what lies ahead is unending torture! After all, there must be secrets in you that are worth studying!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered, radiating his own internal force and revealing that he was as strong as a D-tier ancient warrior.

    Guo Geng¡¯s expression fell for a moment before ferocity fervently reignited.

    He pulled out his weapons. They were a pair of daggers.

    Guo Geng was skilled in assassination.

    Suddenly, he disappeared from where he was standing. This was ten times faster than when he tried to kill Qin Feng.

    This was Guo Geng in hisbat state.

    In the blink of an eye, he had already nked Qin Feng¡¯s left side. His daggers shed with a cold glint as he stabbed at his target.

    Pop!

    The internal force shield suddenly vibrated.

    nk nk nk!

    Guo Geng¡¯s daggers moved quickly and left an afterimage behind as they danced around Qin Feng¡¯s shield. Under such an attack, his shield was quickly shattered in the blink of an eye.

    That only took a second. That was fast!

    By then, Qin Feng had already turned his head to look at Guo Geng. The daggers were going for Qin Feng¡¯s neck and it seemed like his head was going to get removed!

    He raised a hand and mes burst out from his palm.

    ¡°Firebeam!¡±

    This one meter wide Firebeam looked like it had been shot out by an energy cannon. After absorbing the fire diamonds, Qin Feng¡¯s Fire ability had gotten even more powerful.

    The Firebeam was quickly sent out but it had a strong explosive force and this was not even Qin Feng¡¯s most powerful move.

    It was like ughtering chicken, all Qin Feng did was casually wave his hand!

    Boom!

    The mes exploded, instantly shattering the shield around Guo Geng and colliding with his body. The violent burning sensation of the ming attack seared through hisbat uniform, destroying it instantly.

    Guo Geng was sent flying again.

    ¡°An ability user!¡±

    Guo Geng did not expect his enemy to be an ability user either. That punch just now was definitely an ancient warrior¡¯s punch!

    This time, Qin Feng gave chase.

    ¡°Fiery Peacock!¡±

    A wave of blue me rushed forward, like a pair of blue peacock wings spreading out to embrace Guo Geng.

    But Guo Geng did not want to ept such a hug.

    ¡°Mutated blue me, you¡¯re Qin Feng!¡±

    He was shocked, but the pain from the Firebeam attack had not faded. His form flickered and he disappeared from the spot.

    Boom!

    The Fiery Peacock attack mmed into the ground and caused arge pothole on the road.

    Guo Geng was not nning on staying, already having turned around to escape.

    Naturally, he had heard of Qin Feng.

    Even if he was hidden in Wangbei Vige conducting experiments, he knew about the news regarding Tangshan Ridge as well as the destruction of the Xue family. He just did not expect to meet Qin Feng here.

    Since he had not seen it with his own eyes, he did not believe Qin Feng was as strong as they said.

    Snatching away the Blue me Peacock Emperor at Tangshan Ridge was just good luck and killing the Xue family¡¯s Xue Jinkuang might have been because Xue Jinkuang was old.

    But now, he understood that neither of those were flukes.

    He was facing Qin Feng himself and had no power to fight back!

    Now he could only think of escaping! He did not even care about Yan Fang anymore.

    He was good at stealth based ancient martial arts, it was a kind of diversion technique. He took advantage of the urban surroundings and quickly escaped Shadong Town.

    ¡°Whew!¡±

    He only felt relieved when he realized that Qin Feng was not behind him.

    ¡°I¡¯ll report to Sir Yan, seeing Yan Fang being injured like that would definitely make Qin Feng a dead man!¡±

    He might as well be seeking vengeance for himself!

    ¡°Ugh!¡± Guo Geng gasped. The injury on his abdomen was too serious. That was only just one Firebeam attack!

    He pulled out a silver light rune equipment from his spatial rune equipment and tapped the spatial barrier. The barrier opened up a small door in the blink of an eye.

    As Guo Geng walked out, a ck shadow followed him out as well.

    ¡°Heh,¡± Qin Feng chuckled, revealing himself.

    Guo Geng was shocked, turning his head to suddenly find Qin Feng only a meter behind him!

    His eyes widened in fear, leaning back as he started to hop about ten meters away before sitting down on the ground.

    If anyone else were to have seen this D-tier ancient warrior¡¯s reaction, they would be rolling on the floor withughter.

    This time, Qin Feng ignored Guo Geng.

    ¡°Firebeam!¡±

    Another burst of fire. This beam of fire had a range of thirty meters and it was targeted at a barrel shaped machine.

    The spatial runes inside this barrel were very precious and they were used to seal off spaces.

    Boom!

    The machine suddenly exploded!

    Under the night sky, silver light shed again and again. It was hard to not pay attention to it.

    Although there was also a signal jammer, Qin Feng had other methods ofmunication.

    ¡°Bai Li, tell the others to evacuate!¡±

    ¡°On it!¡±

    The two had a contract that bound their souls together, the news was quickly transmitted.

    Guo Geng was taken aback by Qin Feng destroying the machine. The noise was so loud that it was definitely going to attract other people.

    ¡°Qin Feng, just you wait!¡± Guo Geng flickered away, wanting to escape again!

 Chapter 369 - Organization Zâ€™s Chimera Corps

    <h4>Chapter 369: Organization Z¡¯s Chimera Corps</h4>

    ¡°Did you think you could get away?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s tone was cold and mocking. He had let Guo Geng escape earlier because he wanted to follow him out of town. Although he could have asked Bai Li to do it, doing it himself felt more justifiable and reasonable.

    Also, seeing Guo Geng¡¯s pride crumble away into despair was entertaining.

    Guo Geng was still in a frantic dash forward, but Qin Feng appeared next to him in an instant.

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    His internal force wrapped around him to form the face of a dragon as he rushed forward.

    He raised a hand and struck out with a palm.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    Boom!

    Guo Geng¡¯s internal force shield instantly shattered.

    ¡°Gah!¡±

    He watched as Qin Feng struck another palm out. If this second attack were to hit, even if it did not kill him it would probably rip his skin off.

    ¡°You¡¯ve forced my hand!¡±

    There was a sh of madness in Guo Geng¡¯s eyes, his body began to go through rapid changes as scales began to form over his skin.

    Qin Feng¡¯s hand struck against Guo Geng¡¯s body.

    Snap!

    He sent Guo Geng flying again, but his opponent¡¯s body was still changing as it soared through the air. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a monster ted with scales.

    It was in fact a Scaled Tiger.

    Not only that, Guo Geng¡¯s aura was not like the aura of the beast generals that the D-tiers in Shadong Town were forced to transform into. On the contrary, he had the aura of a Beast King!

    In an instant, Guo Geng¡¯s power had increased exponentially.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Heunched himself forward with hands that have be tiger ws. The ws seemed to have been mutated as well, each of them being thirty centimeters long and were as sharp as the daggers he wielded.

    As Guo Gengunched his attack, Qin Feng did not dodge. The two instantly shed with one another.

    Boom! Bang! Boom! ng! Boom!

    He was nning on taking this head on.

    So what if he was fighting a mutant beast king, he had the physical power of a beast emperor. Qin Feng did not even need to draw his saber.

    Physical shes were in his favor.

    By then, because of the waves caused by this battle, the people from the passenger ne had alreadye down!

    It was Yan Shuo and more than a dozen D-tier aptitude users.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness automatically detected them and these people had also locked onto Qin Feng.

    He ended up grabbing Guo Geng by the neck.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    ¡°Repulsion!¡±

    A huge pulse of energy was sent out at an odd angle which tore through Guo Geng¡¯s neck. This wave of force ended up literally blowing the once-man into pieces, arge blood stter was all there was where Guo Geng once stood. The people watching the cruel scene were terrified by this act.

    The remaining mutants of the Organization Z were all taken aback.

    Guo Geng was a rare beast king mutant, but he was torn apart by this D-tier person with their bare hands.

    This filled their hearts with the fear of Qin Feng.

    But for the C-tier, what he saw was Qin Feng trying to provoke him.

    He knew he wasing and he killed his henchman to intimidate him.

    ¡°You wretch!¡±

    Yan Shuo¡¯s eyes were filled with sullen anger.

    He took a step forward and was about to order his underlings to shoot Qin Feng.

    But all of a sudden there was a sh of silver light that appeared over the battlefield.

    The sh of silver light beamed toward Yan Shuo.

    His pupils shrank as his senses told him that he was in a very dangerous situation.

    In an instant, the light made him feel like he was standing in a hurricane as it rapidly revolved around him and caused ck spatial cracks to appear.

    These cracks directly hit his body.

    Crack-krick!

    His internal force shield was instantly ripped apart!

    ¡°What?!¡±

    He quickly took a step back out of sheer shock.

    The attack was too fast for him and the scratches from the silver hurricane began to show. His chest and thighs had rips in them that were bleeding profusely and in some ces, the flesh on his body looked like they had been cleanly gouged out.

    Then came the severe pain.

    When the hurricane ceased, a girl with a silver whip and a devastatingly beautiful face revealed herself!

    Bai Li had arrived.

    Not only that, behind Bai Li was the hum of multiple hover copters. There looked to be seven to eight of them.

    They were not flying in one direction, instead they were all scattering in different directions.

    Even the C-tier Yan Shuo felt his heart skip a beat when he saw the scene.

    This had gonepletely out of hand, this was not part of his ns!

    How was he going to conduct experiments if all of the subjects managed to escape?!

    What was more, if the news got out, the Human Alliance would likely not be showing any mercy.

    ¡°Destroy them!¡±

    Killing these people was a priority, Yan Shuo did not n on letting them go.

    Upon hearing this, three of the mutants near him began to pull out their artillery cannons to take aim at the fleeing hover copters.

    ¡°Do you think I¡¯m already dead?¡±

    Qin Feng pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The de burned with blue mes as Qin Feng¡¯s body got covered by ck runes.

    In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from where he was.

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡±

    ¡°Seize him!¡±

    The gunner mutant had a bad feeling, like death was just around the corner.

    When facing Qin Feng, the others were not confident in beating him and because of that they decided to take this seriously.

    In the next moment, they all began to transform!

    In the blink of an eye, all of the aptitude users who had the ability to maintain a human form had transformed into inhuman monsters.

    A Mountain-Shaking Bear, a Golden Python, a Crystalline Steel Ant¡ªthese were all beast kings.

    A Bloodthirsty Jackal, a ck gue Cat, a Thunder Wolf, a Sand Lizard, these all had the auras of beast generals.

    With a troop of men with this kind of power, there was no enemy on the field that could be a threat.

    Unfortunately, creatures of different species did not have human hearts. These people no longer thought that they were humans anymore!

    ¡°Chaaaaarge!!!¡±

    They allunched themselves at Qin Feng.

    It was a pity that theirbined attacks would not be enough against Qin Feng¡¯s unpredictability.

    The Dark Shadow allowed Qin Feng to instantly appear beside the three gunners who had raised their guns, standing back to back with their guns raised.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng violently erupted upon his arrival.

    A blue me instantly pierced through one of the gunner¡¯s bodies. In that blue me was an extremely sharp saber.

    It was the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Tat-tat!¡±

    The hand cannon that the gunner held fell to the ground before it could be fired.

    It was the other two that managed to pull the trigger.

    Boom! Boom!

    Energy bombs were shot out of the cannons¡¯ muzzles, ring with a bright fluorescent light.

    Unless there were high intensity weapons on the hover copters, there was no way they would be able to have a counterattack. There was no way for them to withstand the st too.

    The two bombs chased after the hover copters!

    ¡°Turn!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness burst out and caught up with the two bombs, causing the bombs to shift awkwardly in one direction before colliding into the ground.

    Ka-Boom! Ka-Boom!

    Two huge explosions came one after the other and there was a strong tremor that rocked the ground!

    At this time, the two gunners looked very pale with Qin Feng being so close. Fortunately for them, Qin Feng was focused on the bombs and did not pay attention to them. They took this opportunity to jump back, evading Qin Feng and quickly transforming.

    An Aurora Eagle and a Poison-Pack Toad!

    Qin Feng waspletely surrounded by the Chimera Corps!

 Chapter 370 - Itâ€™s One Against Nine

    <h4>Chapter 370: It¡¯s One Against Nine</h4>

    Meanwhile on the other side, Bai Li and Yan Shuo shed against one another. Bai Li¡¯s beast emperor strength ended up forcing Yan Shuo into a retreat.

    When he saw that there were nine people surrounding Qin Feng, he let out a yell of anger.

    ¡°You¡¯re all trash!¡±

    With so many being held back by only one person, all the hover copters had escaped by then.

    Since the situation had taken an unexpected turn, the n had failed!

    ¡°Seize him and bring him back to me!¡± Yan Shuo ordered.

    ¡°Who are you nning on catching this time?¡± Bai Li said with dissatisfaction. He could not face her but still wanted to capture Qin Feng, that idea was enough to provoke her.

    Yan Shuo¡¯s eyes narrowed, he did not want to show aces he had in his sleeve but it looked to him that he had no choice in the matter.

    He abruptly began to mobilize his own strength and in the next instant his body began to give off an intense and terrifying aura.

    In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a giant.

    Standing at the full height of ten meters tall, as big as a three-storey building.

    Boom!

    A huge metal rod appeared in his hand, obviously this rod had been kept inside a space before.

    This was his strongest mode ofbat.

    Different from the other mutants, Yan Shuo¡¯s mutant form was human. It was dubbed by the Organization Z to be one of the purer bloodlines, known as the Titan Bloodline.

    Gigantification!

    Yan Shuo¡¯s body was massive, the damage caused to him before might as well be mosquito bites at this point. His skin was thick and fleshy and his muscles were tough, it was going to be hard for anyone to directly damage his organs.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    He swung his weapon at Bai Li.

    His new giant form naturally gave him an advantage against her.

    Back at Qin Feng¡¯s end, the nine mutants around him quicklyunched their attacks.

    The Giant Poison-Sac Toad started it off with a st of concentrated toxin.

    Qin Feng was well protected by his internal force shield and did not try to dodge.

    ¡°Tornado Cloud!¡±

    He quickly did a spin, unleashing the Secret Overcast Dragon technique and kicked up a raging whirlwind.

    His target was not the toad but the Golden Python. It was a creature that could use Light, which made it an immediate threat to him.

    The whirlwind shifted, picking up the Golden Python.

    Bang bang bang bang!

    All the mutants were tossed around and sent flying.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion! Absorption!¡±

    The Golden Python mutant was attacked by Qin Feng again, but it did not run away.

    It felt surprised, it had not expected Qin Feng to attack first and used its internal force to rush toward him. There was fury in its heart as it coiled its body around Qin Feng¡¯s.

    ¡°Constriction!¡±

    The strongest ability from snake-like ultra beasts, this kind of crushing force was increased a hundredfold when used by the Golden Python.

    Creak!

    The internal force shield around Qin Feng began to make weird creaking sounds, like a balloon being tightly squeezed as if it was going to burst at any moment!

    It was then Qin Feng stabbed forward with the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    The tip of the de pierced through the scales of the Golden Python mutant.

    No matter how strong the Golden Python was, it did not have the same defensive capabilities as an actual Golden Python. What was more, even if it did, it still would not have been enough to deter the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The actual de portion had not hit anything in a while since it was merged with the Blue me Peacock Emperor¡¯s feathers as its mes could burn through almost everything.

    And actually getting stabbed by the de usually leads to expected consequences.

    The de continued to slide into the mutant until it was buried to the hilt.

    He activated his consciousness and blue fire began to burst out from the de.

    In the blink of an eye, the Golden Python mutant¡¯s skin was covered in mes.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    The mutant let out a scream of pain, its tail loosening its grip around Qin Feng¡¯s body as the mutant rolled around on the ground, kicking up dust and dirt when faced with such destructive power.

    Qin Feng thought that it was a pity that he did not get to try out a move like that more.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    He swung his de out, stabbing at his target. This time he was aiming for the mutant¡¯s head!

    The mutant¡¯s head was pinned to the ground before the blue mes turned it into ash

    The Golden Python mutant had been in!

    The remaining eight mutants all looked at Qin Feng with a mixture of awe and caution.

    This time, Qin Feng had a grin on his face!

    ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have transformed. Now, you don¡¯t even have a way of sending out yourst message!¡±

    After these people became mutants, they had lost ess to theirmunicators.

    If so, who could stop Qin Feng?

    At 2 o¡¯clock in the morning, their surroundings were dark and the moon was shining brightly, along with the lights that everyone carried. Not only that, the night vision that they gained after transforming allowed them to see clearly in the dark.

    All of that would soon disappear!

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s entire body abruptly exploded with terrifying dark runes.

    He had been carrying the Dark Stone for nine months!

    When used, arge quantity of dark runes would send chills down anyone¡¯s spine!

    The mutants all lost their vision to the darkness.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    They could still hear noises, but their vision was pitch ck and their senses felt a little dyed so it was hard to explore this new environment.

    Before this, Qin Feng was only just twenty meters away from them. The other mutants might be even closer.

    At this time, Qin Feng made his move.

    ¡°Dark Ray!¡±

    A denser, more substantial bolt of darkness collided with the Poison-Sac Toad. In an instant, it felt like its body was deprived of its strength and had be extremely weak.

    ¡°What is this?!¡± The mutant eximed.

    The limbs of the Poison-Sac Toad had not changed much. The main part was that its back had swelled up, giving it a hunch-backed posture and a hump that ripped out of its clothes. There were a number of multicolored poison carrying pustules on its hump and its eyes had widened and bulged out like that of a frog¡¯s to give it a better field of vision..

    Qin Feng¡¯s attack made it very uneasy but he ignored the feeling and began to send the toxins in all directions.

    Pop pop pop!

    The pustules on its back exploded all at once, sending toxins scattering everywhere around it. The toxins did notnd on Qin Feng, instead itnded on everyone else.

    ¡°Decaying Rain!¡±

    A terrifying dark vortex formed in the sky before a torrent of ck rain started falling.

    ¡°Aaah!¡±

    The Poison-Sac Toad that just released its toxins felt the ck rain drip onto its back, feeling the severe pain as if its flesh was being melted away, and the dark energy was seeping into its body.

    The sheer density of this ck rain was like being in the middle of an intense tropical storm.

    These eight mutants did not escape at all!

    Screams came one after the other.

    This drew Yan Shuo¡¯s attention, he managed to witness all of this.

    ¡°Dark ability!¡±

    Although he was shocked by this, he knew that if he did not help out the backbone of the Organization Z, it would get wiped out!

    He swung his iron rod into the air in a spinning motion and sent out a powerful wave of force.

    The overwhelming energy it carried abruptly stopped the Decaying Rain!

 Chapter 371 - Shadong Town Has Disappeared

    <h4>Chapter 371: Shadong Town Has Disappeared</h4>

    The Decaying Rain was dispelled, Yan Shuo spun his metal rod again and unleashed a st of wind that carried enough force to disperse Qin Feng¡¯s darkness.

    The usage of a high level of power was how Yan Shuo managed to dispel the darkness.

    Dark Shroud was not very effective when used against D-tiers, but in this scenario, Qin Feng had the Hellstone, and these D-tiers had turned into ultra beast mutants and lost their internal force shield.

    With the darkness dispelled, the eight mutants were revealed to be a sorry sight, they looked miserable with parts of their body having been eaten away by the Decaying Rain.

    Yan Shuo gritted his teeth so much that they would crack!

    This loss was far too severe!

    ¡°Qin Feng, what a troublesome wretch!¡±

    Yan Shuo began to swing his rod in that direction.

    ¡°You¡¯re supposed to be fighting me!¡± Bai Li angrily called out in her crisp voice.

    ¡°Xiao Bai! No more hiding! We¡¯re killing him!¡±

    Qin Feng did not try to evade, his consciousness surging forth.

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    Dark red magma began to appear on the ground where the eight mutants stood before they were engulfed by it.

    ¡°Magma Pir!¡±

    Bang bang bang!

    Four pirs of magma burst out from the ground, sting the Bloodthirsty Jackal, Thunder Wolf, ck gue Cat and Sand Lizard. These four were chosen intentionally.

    After they had mutated, they were just at the level of beast generals. They were the weakest ones.

    The Decaying Rain had nearly killed them just now. Hell Magma was just to finish them off.

    Boom!

    The four pirs hadpletely covered them in magma.

    ¡°Aaah!!!¡± The Bloodthirsty Jackal screamed as itsrge body sank into the magma, and in the blink of an eye, all that was left after the Magma Pir attack were bones, before those too sank into the magma.

    Dead!

    This was the same for the other three, even if they tried to struggle, Qin Feng would knock them back down with his Fire ability.

    Now, out of the nine mutants, only four remained of the Chimera Corps!

    ¡°How dare you!¡±

    Yan Shuo red at Qin Feng who had no intention of trying to avoid him and became even angrier. His attack was about to hit Qin Feng¡¯s body, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes.

    But suddenly, a loud beastial roar rang out, followed by the earth-shaking aura of a beast emperor.

    Yan Shuo picked it up instantly, but before he could even turn around to see what had just happened he felt a powerful force and was pushed to the ground.

    Swish!

    Giant w marks began to appear on his body.

    ¡°Argh!¡± Yan Shuo cried out. As a Titan mutant, it had been a while since he had been injured while in his mutated form.

    At this time, he found out that a simrlyrge creature had him pinned down with its legs.

    It was a pristine and morous looking Silver Fox.

    Behind it was five soft looking tails that glowed with a halo of silver light.

    This halo began to glow brighter as it rushed toward Yan Shuo.

    In the next moment, this bundle of silver light expanded to form arge spatial rip.

    Yan Shuo¡¯s pupils began to shrink, feeling that he was in great danger.

    He let out an angry roar and tried to avoid the attack.

    Of course, his weapon had been flung away by Bai Li when he tried to attack Qin Feng.

    On the other hand, now that Qin Feng was not threatened, he naturally engaged the four beast kings.

    ¡°Lets kill him!¡±

    The mutants were worse for wear after being beaten down by Qin Feng¡¯s torrent of abilities. None of their ancient martial arts techniques had managed to make a proper dent and five of them had just died!

    The Giant Poison-Sac Toad¡¯s back split open again. It had used all of its toxins before but this time it shot out ck colored blood that carried a vile venom toward Qin Feng.

    The Mountain Shaker Bear mmed its palms into the ground, causing multiple spikes made of earth to rush toward Qin Feng.

    The Crystalline Steel Ant unleashed a flurry of sword swings and shing attacks.

    The Aurora Eagle burst out with incredible speed for a head on collision.

    These were their most effectivebat maneuvers, a dangerous meld of theirbined forces.

    It might have caused their target to flinch, but beyond that, Qin Feng did not suffer from any significant damage.

    It was unfortunate that they learned that a bit toote.

    He already had the upper hand in this situation.

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡±

    Qin Feng disappeared from where he was.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    The head of the Giant Poison-Sac Toad was removed with a swing of his de.

    Dead!

    ¡°Fire Dragon Technique!¡±

    The fire dragon instantly wrapped itself around the Crystalline Steel Ant. Its body had been damaged by the Decaying Rain and had lost its imprable metal defense.

    Being hit by the Fire Dragon Technique only brought it to its knees as the dragonpletely engulfed its body.

    The shell of the Crystalline Steel Ant had beenpletely melted.

    Dead!

    ¡°Fiery Peacock!¡±

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    Dead!

    Another dead!

    All four had been in!

    Qin Feng felt a massive wave of energy course through his body.

    D3!

    He had ranked up once again.

    By then, Bai Li had also achieved the upper hand in her confrontation.

    Even a mutant with Titan blood could not face something that had such powerful spatial maniption. With her attacks, she managed to remove his arms and ended up breaking his legs.

    ¡°Kill him!¡± Qin Feng called out, having no intention of letting Bai Li stay her hand.

    In the next moment, Yan Shuo¡¯s eyes turned blood red and he unleashed a terrifying st of energy.

    ¡°Then we¡¯ll all die together!¡±

    He let out a deafening roar!

    Boom!

    The huge st of energy, centered on Yan Shuo, spread outward and annihted everything it made contact with.

    Shadong Town¡¯s city walls instantly turned into ash and countless buildings were swept away as the st covered a range of up to ten thousand meters.

    Shadong Town had been wiped out. If he had not seen this with his own eyes, Qin Feng would have thought that this ce was originally a desert.

    There were still plenty of small energy storms gathering in the sky, adding to the turbulent flow of things.

    It seemed that even space was made unstable, in the blink of an eye, a massive, jagged rift was ripped open.

    Then, a sliver of silver light flickered and two figures stepped into the rift filled scene of chaos.

    It was Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Yan Shuo¡¯s self destruction did notplete his final wish to take Qin Feng out with him.

    Bai Li, being a spatial ultra beast, managed to grab Qin Feng and jump into the Battlegod Tomb without needing to use the Battlegod Token.

    During that time, there were explosions happening all over!

    After a battle thatsted for two days and two nights, Shadong Town ceased to be!

    As the sun rose in the horizon, casting dawn¡¯s light upon the earth, it only revealed the deste desert as there really was only just sand and dust left.

    ¡°Control the rifts!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°On it!¡±

    Bai Li raised her hand and a beam of silver light locked onto the massive rift. In the blink of an eye, that rift was sealed.

    The storm above was still brewing, Qin Feng did not know when but he was certain that new rifts would open up in this area.

    But this no longer was something he could deal with!

    ¡°Lets go!¡±

    He pulled out the Sky Dweller and flew out of the chaotic churning of energies with Bai Li.

    When he tried to scan the area, he found no traces of living things where Shadong Town used to be.

    ¡°History might be difficult to change, but it¡¯s a good thing a hundred people managed to survive. This isn¡¯t a minor change!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator began to ring at this time.

 Chapter 372 - Return to Niumeng City

    <h4>Chapter 372: Return to Niumeng City</h4>

    Yan Shuo¡¯s self-destruction was devastating!

    Even the Four Cities of the Northern Seas received news that an earthquake was happening.

    The four cities then sent out their satellites to scan the area. They saw Shadong Town that had been leveled.

    Before this, the D-tier who had escaped decrypted the jammed signals and established contact with the ability user alliance to report what had happened.

    The event was catastrophic.

    It was definitely one of the hardest blows the Dark Coalition had ever delivered.

    The innocent people of Shadong Town had died from this assault. They had also lost half of their D-tier ability users. Even Hu Liang, themander who was sent out by the Human Alliance, had perished!

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re alright! That¡¯s good news!¡±

    Cheng Siang saw Qin Feng through themunicator. From Qin Feng¡¯s surroundings, he immediately knew that he was in the Sky Dweller!

    ¡°Where are you guys?¡± asked Qin Feng.

    ¡°We are in Niumeng City, not sure if it¡¯s safe here. Qin Feng, what happened just now? Why was there such a tremendous force, we could feel the aftershocks from here!¡±

    ¡°That C-tier blew himself up!¡± answered Qin Feng.

    Chen Siang was stunned.

    ¡°And you didn¡¯t get hurt at all?¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°Did you want me to get hurt?¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, you know I didn¡¯t mean that! I¡¯m just very surprised!¡±

    Even Niumeng City felt the impact of the C-tier¡¯s self-destruction. The fact that Qin Feng could make it out without a scratch impressed Chen Siang.

    Qin Feng did not continue to joke around with Chen Siang. His expressions became solemn.

    ¡°How¡¯s the situation in Niumeng City? Are they sending anyone out for rescue? What actions are they taking!¡±

    ¡°Actions? You mean...¡±

    ¡°These people have been mutated, they¡¯re probably no longer human. Their genes have been damaged and we don¡¯t know if they could still train ancient martial arts or if their powers have been reduced. More importantly, what would the Human Alliance do to them!¡±

    At this moment in time, anything could happen.

    Chen Siang did not think that far ahead obviously. He contemted the question seriously after Qin Feng¡¯s round of questioning.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that some of the D-tiers feel unsafe here and were thinking of leaving!¡± said Chen Siang. ¡°Should we stop them?¡±

    ¡°Why should we stop them?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve said it previously, some of these people could only make a living if they join the Dark Coalition. Doesn¡¯t that mean these people are off to join the Dark Coalition?¡±

    But Qin Feng replied,¡± Let them go. These are the concerns of the Human Alliance, not mine alone. Watch Yan Fang closely, he¡¯s a key person!¡±

    The fight had exposed too much of his powers. Even Bai Li had appeared in her beast emperor form. Qin Feng killed Yan Shuo and nine mutants to seal their lips.

    Now that all the remaining traces had been shut down, they could only know the full picture through Yan Fang!

    ¡°I understand, the Human Alliance is looking at this matter very seriously. The governor may make his return!¡±

    The Four Cities of the Northern Seas all belonged in the same district. There was a leader that oversees the four cities known as the governor.

    The governor who oversaw the Four Cities of the Northern Seas was merely a C-tier.

    The governor¡¯s role was not a cozy one since there were four ancient warrior families within the four cities of the Northern Seas. Each one of their family leaders were C-tiers.

    Therefore, the governor was quite powerless.

    ¡°Hmm, we¡¯ll see about that! Take a rest, Brother Chen, I¡¯ll be arriving in Niumeng City soon!¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯m d that you¡¯reing!¡±

    The two of them broke off theirmunication. But Qin Feng¡¯smunicator rang once again.

    It was Han Nuan!

    Qin Feng took the call.

    Han Nuan was already in her hotel room. There was nobody around her, but she still lowered her voice.

    ¡°Sir, are they going to be taken away as test subjects?¡±

    Han Nuan was most concerned about this.

    The other D-tiers were more powerful and had more uses. Han Nuan was merely an E-tier, but she was developing well as a mutant. She had a higher research value than the rest of them.

    Han Nuan was a little worried.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry!¡± Qin Feng said in a deep voice. He would always protect his subordinates. ¡°Those mutants that have not developed well are more worried than you!¡±

    After all, they would lose their mind once they¡¯ve mutated. The Human Alliance was afraid that they might cause harm.

    ¡°If you¡¯re really afraid, you could leave Niumeng City ande to my colony!¡± Qin Feng offered. ¡°I¡¯ll supply all the resources you need to train at Fengli colony!¡±

    Han Nuan was immediately tempted by his offer.

    Although Fengli colony was located amongst the Three Cities along the Sun that was not as bountiful as the Four Cities of the Northern Seas, Qin Feng controlled the underground ck market there. Naturally, she would not run out of resources there.

    Furthermore, once she leaves for Fengli colony, she would no longer be a gun for hire. She would be one of Qin Feng¡¯s house ministers!

    Qin Feng recognized Han Nuan¡¯s abilities.

    ¡°Very well Sir, I¡¯ll leave for there right away!¡±

    ¡°Good, go now! Remember this number, give him a ring when you reach there!¡±

    Qin Feng gave Han Nuan Xue Xingfu¡¯s number.

    After Han Nuan¡¯s departure, Qin Feng left for Niumeng City.

    There was a fixed helipad in Niumeng City. There were eight rickety hover copters there; they must belong to Chen Siang and his friends.

    But before that, there was already a D-tier aptitude user waiting there.

    When Qin Feng and Bai Li stepped down from the hover copter, the D-tier went to greet them. It was someone they knew.

    The Lord of Niumeng City, Meng Lin!

    ¡°Finally you¡¯re here, Qin Feng!¡±

    Qin Feng was rather surprised to see Meng Lin here. ¡°Lord Meng, I didn¡¯t know you would have the time toe find me.¡±

    Still, the thought of hundreds of D-tiers flocking to Fengli colony did not sit well with Qin Feng!

    ¡°Qin Feng, at times like this, stop teasing me!¡± replied Meng Lin. He waved his hand and signaled for Qin Feng and Bai Li to get into the car. ¡°I know you have been battling for two days. Lady Bai as well, please, get in the car. We could talk while we send you to the hotel where you can rest.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Qin Feng led Bai Li to the car. It was a luxurious vehicle with an elongated wheelbase. There was enough space for a small lounge.

    Meng Lin was troubled.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you sure gave me some trouble.¡±

    Qin Feng raised his eyebrows. ¡°What trouble did I give, it¡¯s the Dark Coalition that has given you the troubles! I am the one who solved your troubles, or you won¡¯t see anyone left today!¡±

    Meng Lin felt hopeless. Perhaps he was not ready to face the facts yet.

    ¡°Shadong Town destroyed, just like this? What¡¯s left for us to do?¡±

    Shadong Town was at the forefront of the desert¡¯s boundary. It was the gate that prevented ultra beasts from entering the Four Cities of the Northern Seas.

    Now, everything was uncertain.

    ¡°You¡¯re the Lord of the city, stop saying things like these!¡± Qin Feng admonished him.

    Meng Lin shrugged. ¡°If I had your powers, I wouldn¡¯t say those things either. You were able to take down Xue Jinkuang and the C-tier guy from the Dark Coalition. Your power is almost monstrous, no wonder you could tame the Blue me Peacock Emperorst time!¡±

    Meng Lin was bitterst time. Now, he could only be impressed by Qin Feng¡¯s achievements!

 Chapter 373 - Governor Gao Yukang

    <h4>Chapter 373: Governor Gao Yukang</h4>

    Qin Feng did not say a word. Meng Lin stopped wallowing in self-pity. He quickly continued, ¡°I am now feeling worried that those people would go through some kind of mutation. Qin Feng, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll need your help to look over those people!¡±

    Meng Lin did not want to show his weaknesses, but his power was iparable to Qin Feng¡¯s.

    ¡°Yeah, I will!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded in agreement. The car had arrived at a luxurious hotel located in the city center.

    Only a hundred aptitude users stayed in the ten-storey tall hotel building. The other upants had been evicted!

    A tragedy could break out among these people at any moment.

    They had arranged for Qin Feng to stay at the presidential suite located on the top floor. He could oversee the people below him anytime.

    However, when Qin Feng arrived, he found out that only eighty people remained after scanning the ce with his consciousness!

    No one knew if more would leave by the next day.

    It was out of Meng Lin¡¯s hands.

    A crowd formed around Qin Feng when he reached the entrance. Leading the crowd was Chen Siang. The rest of them were aptitude users who looked ill and pale.

    There were about twenty to thirty people there.

    ¡°You¡¯re all here to greet me? How are you guys doing?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re fine, we really have you to thank this time around, Mr. Qin!¡±

    They were grateful to Qin Feng.

    Some of them could not wait to ask. ¡°Mr. Qin, what happened to the C-tier you were fighting with previously?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t Brother Chen tell you?¡± Qin Feng looked at him and asked.

    The man appeared solemn. ¡°I thought it was better to hear it from you in person.¡±

    The crowd was worried.

    ¡°He¡¯s dead!¡± Qin Feng replied confidently.

    Some of them breathed a sigh of relief. But some of them felt even more troubled by the news.

    ¡°We¡¯ve really done it this time, we don¡¯t know if there would be more toe!¡±

    The crowd was mostly wounded. Even a D-tier could finish them off right this moment.

    It was normal for them to be concerned.

    Qin Feng calmly smiled. ¡°I know some things about this organization. They might be bigger than we thought. The C-tier that fought with me is probably not the strongest leader behind the scene. Therefore, it¡¯s better if we all stay put in Niumeng City and not wander off on your own.¡±

    ¡°But could I still get back to how I was previously?¡± asked a person in a broken-down tone.

    The person was obviously undergoing mutation. He was getting fidgety.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression became calm. His eyes became sharp.

    ¡°If you think you could make it, you will make it. If you cannot ept it, then the choice is up to you. But you must remember, the Dark Coalition is capturing you to conduct their experiments. You may feel like leaving the Human Alliance to join the Dark Coalition.¡±

    Qin Feng went around them in a circle. He continued,¡± What do you think, is the chance of turning you lot into experimental slits higher, or is the chance of letting you people join higher!¡±

    Any way you look at it, the first option was the most likely. It was the original intention of those people.

    The crowd grew pale.

    ¡°Okay, we¡¯ll continue tomorrow when the governores. It¡¯s better for you to get some rest and tend to your wounds, or you won¡¯t even stand a fighting chance! They coulde at any moment and there won¡¯t be only one C-tier!¡±

    After semi-threatening them, Qin Feng grabbed the key card to his suite and went into the elevator with Bai Li.

    Meng Lin had given Qin Feng a super-luxurious presidential suite. It was spacious and filled with extravagant decor. The ce was spotless; it was quite possible that the suite had just been refurbished!

    That was how Meng Lin went out of his way to treat Qin Feng!

    ¡°Qin Feng, it¡¯spletely safe here now. Could you tell me what happened?¡±

    Although other people have spoken to Meng Lin as well, he believed Qin Feng¡¯s words more.

    Qin Feng pondered for a moment. He said, ¡°Perhaps you¡¯ve never met them before, but I know which Dark Coalition organization this group belongs to!¡±

    Meng Li was stunned.

    Speaking of, the members of the Dark Coalition were always in the shadows. They always imed their sessful attacks to further their influences so that more unscrupulous people would join them.

    But Meng Lin had never seen something so atrocious and catastrophic as this.

    Even a C-tier had made his move. Perhaps the leader behind this cult was much more powerful.

    Meng Lin did not dare to imagine it. What was the true strength of the Dark Coalition that it could carry out such a heinous attack?

    Qin Feng continued, ¡°They call themselves the Z Organization. There are remnants of them in the Three Cities along the Sun. They¡¯ve even infiltrated the army legions of major cities. I was able to find out that the attack happened even before the leader of the Desert Eagle Group, Guo Geng, made his move!¡±

    Qin Feng did not foresee how the attack could happen!

    Meng Lin¡¯s face was turning pale.

    ¡°How about Yan Fang? What was that all about?¡±

    ¡°He harbored some grudges against me. I was quite dubious of him when he suddenly offered me water!¡± Qin Feng was telling half-truths.

    But in the end, he told Meng Li about Yan Shuo and his nine mutated test subjects and the power of the beast general and emperor. If they really appeared, it would be a tough fight.

    Meng Lin needed some time to take the information in. He then bid his farewell.

    ¡°I won¡¯t bother you much longer, Qin Feng. You have a good rest!¡±

    ¡°Okay, see you!¡±

    ¡°Right!¡±

    As they bid their farewells, both of them did not expect to see each other the next day. Yet, the very next day, they met again!

    When Qin Feng woke up the next morning, he received news of the governor¡¯s homing!

    The governor did not use any vehicle. He came back using a spatial teleportation device.

    Each trip would cost tens of millions. Only a C-tier could afford it. It was much morevish than calling for an airlift at Qin Feng¡¯s Fengli colony.

    But it was absolutely fast!

    The governor of the Four Cities of the Northern Seas was known as Gao Yukang.

    A C3 aptitude user at thirty five years old. He had only awakened for a little over ten years, yet he had shown enough potential. He had been the governor of the district for three years.

    However, he basically did not handle matters regarding the Four Cities of the Northern Seas.

    The Four Cities of the Northern Seas had better resources than the Three Cities along the Sun. However, it was still too little for a C-tier aptitude user. In addition to that, his hands were also tied up by the ancient warrior families. Therefore, he did not care to stay there.

    The governor¡¯s role was only a formality.

    Gao Yukang was young. He had potential. Naturally, he went out to explore.

    He came back this time around because the Human Alliance caught wind of the news. The news would affect the governor. Even the A-tiers of the alliance were asking him about it. Therefore, he had no choice but to return.

    To allow a D-tier of a small town to develop a poison that could mutate its victim¡ª the possibility of such news breaking out would be devastating.

    The most luxurious hotel in Niumeng City had arge hall and some meeting rooms. The aptitude users of Shadong Town came together that afternoon.

 Chapter 374 - A Decorated General?

    <h4>Chapter 374: A Decorated General?</h4>

    Qin Feng scanned the area hastily. He knew how many came to attend.

    Only four to five people had leftst night after his speech. There were eighty two D-tiers in total at the hotel now.

    The mood was a little gloomy. No one spoke a word.

    A whileter, a person came into the meeting room.

    The man appeared very youthful, good-looking even. Most aptitude users saw thirty-five-year-olds as youths.

    The man looked no more than twenty six or twenty seven. He had an air of nobility around him. He was tall and well-built. He did not hide his aura, which pressured the people around him.

    Gao Yukang, a gold element ability user, C3-tier.

    He strode to the stage in front and overlooked the crowd. His consciousness level was so powerful that people thought they were being locked on by his sight!

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows. He then felt rxed. He did not speak much.

    However, Gao Yukang¡¯s appearance made the rest uneasy. They dare not speak as well.

    The aptitude users below became fearful.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard the news. The Human Alliance ces great emphasis on this matter. We will deliver swift justice to the criminals that you have captured!¡±

    Qin Feng and the rest did not say anything. It was obvious that Gao Yukang did not allow them to voice their opinions.

    ¡°What happened has already happened. What we must do now is to recuperate our losses and n for the worst!¡±

    ¡°We must rebuild Shadong Town! That is of utmost importance.¡±

    Gao Yukang¡¯s sight fell on Qin Feng unknowingly. Qin Feng furrowed his brows once again. He felt that something would happen.

    Gao Yukang continued on. ¡°Since we¡¯re shorthanded for now, you might be sent out to the frontlines once again. There may be those of you who remain healthy here, there may be those who have undergone a positive gic mutation here. The Human Alliance calls for your unwavering support!¡±

    ¡°Since there are so many wounded, the Human Alliance has sent in ten D-tier doctors over to help you heal. They will check up on your health at certain times. Of course, the venue will be at the newly-established Shadong Town.¡±

    ¡°Now, let me announce your next mission!¡±

    Gao Yukang took out a badge . It was a special medal given by the Human Alliance. The badge was of a rather high level, a D-tier at least.

    An official D-tier General¡¯s badge.

    It was the badge worn by Hu Liang in the beginning.

    The badge wasrger than an ordinary D-tier¡¯s badge. It was very distinctive. At critical hours, those who wore the badge could be a leader in the name of the Human Alliance.

    ¡°Now, as the Governor of the Northern Seas District, I dere Qin Feng as a General, the Commander-in-Chief of the New Shadong Town!¡±

    ¡°I now appoint Bai Li as the deputy general of New Shadong Town!¡±

    ¡°And now, I appoint the E-tier aptitude user, Gao Qing, as the mayor of the town!¡±

    Both of them had been appointed as generals. The mayoral title was offered to a distant nephew of Gao Yukang.

    Qin Feng was surprised.

    He did not think that Gao Yukang would appoint him as general.

    In a town like Shadong, those with the bigger fist held the bigger authority. A general¡¯s post was much higher than the mayor.

    Furthermore, although the certified aptitude users were considered members of the Human Alliance, bing a general meant getting into the official ranks of the Human Alliance.

    Officials and normal members¡ª the difference was stark.

    As for Qin Feng¡¯s role as the leader of Fengli colony, it was nothing more than a sesame-sized rank to be brutally honest. He would never make it into the core with a position like that!

    There was another huge advantage by bing the general of Shadong Town.

    The army, the Human Alliance, and even the Four Cities of the Northern Seas would have to pay tributes every year to Qin Feng as war efforts!

    Hu Liang had a bad temper. He was often frustrated by the workload of his position as the general. Yet, what made him stay?

    What else if not for the money?

    ¡°General Qin, Deputy Bai,e up here and receive your honors!¡± Gao Yukang interrupted Qin Feng¡¯s contemtions.

    Bai Li looked at Qin Feng in a puzzled manner. She did not know if she should go up the stage. She was waiting for Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng stood up.

    It was a great move!

    It even gave Qin Feng another idea.

    As Qin Feng stood up, Bai Li naturally followed him up the stage.

    Gao Yukang awarded Qin Feng and Bai Li with the badges.

    ¡°The Alliance ces great hope in both of you. Do not let us down, protect the final frontier of the Northern Seas Desert. The fate of humankind rests upon us!¡±

    Qin Feng thought that Gao Yukang was a real schmoozer.

    Yet, the Human Alliance needed the propaganda. How else would they get so many people to fight for them?

    ¡°I¡¯ll never let you down, thank you Governor!¡±

    Gao Yukang nodded in contentment.

    In actual fact, he did not care for matters in the Northern Seas District. His passion was not here. Maybe after another thirty or forty years, he woulde back and settle down in hisnd. By then, he may have be a B or A-tier. What else could this ce offer him?

    Thus, he had washed his hands off this ce!

    After appointing Gao Qing the role of mayor, it was a job well done!

    The eighty two D-tier aptitude users breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news.

    ¡°It¡¯s good that Qin Feng is leading, at least we don¡¯t have to be afraid of him being a sellout!¡±

    ¡°I thought the alliance people were going to capture us for research, I was worried there!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t hold your breaths just yet, they¡¯ve sent in ten doctors to watch over our movements!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll see how it goes, maybe we¡¯ll recover!¡±

    All in all, the crowd was happy with Gao Yukang¡¯s decision.

    After the town hall meeting, Gao Yukang had another small meeting.

    Gao Yukang still retained his strong presence. Gao Qing sat beside him. Bai Li was sitting beside Qin Feng. Gao Yukang¡¯s side felt a little weakpared to Qin Feng¡¯s.

    He unbuttoned the cor of his battle suit and smoked a cigarette. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about Shadong Town. I know I¡¯m giving you a burden by passing these matters to you, but there¡¯s a lot in it for you. You can request for any military support from the Human Alliance and the four cities will help you out. You¡¯ll be getting 30 billion every year as base sry!¡±

    Thirty billion a year. You could get a beast emperor level crystal core every three years. Although Hu Liang rarely fought, everyone knew he was strong.

    What a pity that he had to go like that!

    ¡°Don¡¯t you have to collect tax from Shadong Town or something like that?¡± asked Qin Feng.

    Even in Fengli colony, they had to pay a certain amount to Chengyang City. However, the amount was fixed. It was easy-peasy for Fengli colony now.

    Geo Yukang chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s good enough if Shadong Town doesn¡¯t lose money!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. He continued,¡± In that case, I want every share and rights of Shadong Town. I forfeit the 30 billion dor sry, I¡¯ll be ountable to my own profits and losses!¡±

    Gao Yukang was a bit startled.

    A dpidated ce like Shadong Town?

 Chapter 375 - Shadong Townâ€™s Ownership

    <h4>Chapter 375: Shadong Town¡¯s Ownership</h4>

    ¡°If you really want it, you can have it, and I will not interfere!¡±

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s have an official agreement!¡±

    ¡°Are you serious?¡± Gao Yukang could not believe it.

    It was obvious that no resources were avable at the North Sea Desert, and it was surprising to have someone ept it.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°I am not kidding, and with mybat power, thirty billion is nothing to me, however, I would prefer to have my own territory that I can have absolute control over!¡±

    Despite having the same goal, Gao Yukang¡¯s governor position was restricted by the four major families, and even deaths of any family leader would not bring him any benefit.

    Furthermore, profits from Shadong Town were too little for a C-tier.

    ¡°Alright, this will also be cost saving for me!¡±

    Qin Feng signed an agreement with Gao Yukang to take absolute control over Shadong Town.

    The support from the Human Alliance would still remain, however, they would not pay Qin Feng for his sry!

    In return, Qin Feng would take ownership of every welfare of the town, while Gao Qing could only receive a fixed amount of sry from the Human Alliance and was not entitled to any bonuses.

    With that, Shadong Town had be Qin Feng¡¯s second colony!

    As the negotiation came to an end, Gao Yukang and Qin Feng were satisfied with the oue, both of them shook hands to bid their farewell and Gao Yukang left within the same day for Niumeng City.

    On the same night, another person had also arrived at Niumeng City.

    The best among Qin Feng¡¯s henchmen, Xue Xingfu!

    Xue Xingfu did not travel by hover copter as Qin Feng had opened an entrance from the Battlegod Tomb to allow him to enter directly into the city, and it was much more convenient.

    Qin Feng would require a helping hand to take on the task of rebuilding Shadong Town, and Xue Xingfu was the best option he had.

    ¡°Mayor, oh, I should address you as a general! Xue Xingfu spoke.

    Qin Feng gave Xue Xingfu a pat on his thick shoulder des. ¡°Come, let¡¯s get nning, this time, things are moreplicated than Shadong Town itself!¡±

    ¡°Actually, I am not convinced of this, Mayor, did you just make a bad move?¡±

    It was obvious that Shadong Town was at an unstable location that could be easily demolished, furthermore, it was frequently hit by spatial rifts that formed around the area.

    ¡°Listen, if this piece of desertnd were to be turned into grasnds or ntations, would you still think that I have made a bad move?¡±

    ¡°How could that be possible!¡± Xue Xingfu did not believe in Qin Feng¡¯s suggestion.

    He continued to observe Qin Feng¡¯s expression and was even more puzzled.

    ¡°What are you trying to imply? Can you just reveal it to me!¡± Xue Xingfu answered.

    ¡°This is what I mean! We¡¯ll continue on with this after your return from obtaining the items!¡±

    Qin Feng replied as he opened up hismunicator.

    The surroundings of the North Sea Desert were shown on themunicator, Qin Feng marked a spot on the edge of the desert and answered, ¡°Rebuild Shadong Town over here.¡±

    It was five kilometres away from the original location of Shadong Town.

    Unfortunately, the North Sea Desert might have to be expanded for another five kilometres in size.

    It was definitely an unfavourable news for human beings.

    However, for Qin Feng, it was the exact location of Shadong Town in the future.

    Qin Feng¡¯s coordination had instantly initiated the rebuilding of the town to cope with the pace of the ongoing war, also, Shadong Town was not a colony, instead, it was a defense fortress that did not have high-rise buildings within the town. Most of them were low-rise houses surrounded by extremely thick city walls.

    Also, Qin Feng was impressed by the defensive wall when he was at Sea City, therefore, he had ordered to build a small-sized city wall that extended from both sides of Shadong Town and was shaped like a semi-circle that surrounded the edges of the North Sea Desert.

    In less than a week, a new Shadong Town was sessfully rebuilt at the edge of the North Sea Desert.

    As soon as the structure of Shadong Town had entered into its consolidation stage, all sorts of equipment had also been allocated ordingly. Perhaps the location was further away from the North Sea Desert, and also, Qin Feng had left no mercy when he was hunting down ultra beasts earlier, hence they were less seen around the area.

    Bai Li had also been assigned with extra tasks, she had to scout around the ruins of the original location of Shadong Town to identify any rifts that were formed, once identified, she would have to take care of them and reduce the urrence of idents.

    Certainly, Qin Feng had his own tasks as well.

    ¡°I might need to be away for some time, during my absence, Bai Li will take lead in every battle, and you shall focus on the developments, alright?¡±

    Xue Xingfu frowned. ¡°Any specific ns with your current trip?¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°Would you believe it if I told you that I am nning to do reforestation?¡±

    Xue Xingfu waved his hand. ¡°Forget about it then!¡±

    Qin Feng did not exin further and left Shadong Town on the same day.

    However, Qin Feng had only gone beyond the scouting perimeters of Shadong Town with his Sky Dweller.

    After a short while, silver coloured lights appeared and formed into a permanent space stabilized passage, and it was Bai Li who walked out from the passage.

    ¡°We can begin now!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at Bai Li.

    Without any hesitation, Bai Li raised her hand and casted out silver coloured light rays, then, a spatial passage was formed.

    The spatial passage was not connected with Shadong Town.

    Qin Feng had used the same method when he went to Niumeng City, where he utilized a spatial passage to arrive at another ce.

    ¡°As I do not know the exact spatial coordinates, I have chosen higher grounds, you have to be careful!¡± Bai Li warned.

    Qin Feng responded with a wave to indicate that he had understood, and immediately jumped into the spatial passage.

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng was already devoured by the dark passage, and Bai Li closed up the passage!

    At that moment, Qin Feng had already left the spatial passage, and as soon as he stepped out, there was indeed nonding ground for him.

    Furthermore, Qin Feng was within a sea of clouds.

    It was imaginable that he was at an extremely high altitude.

    Qin Feng rxed and allowed his body to dive at a high speed.

    He passed through theyers of clouds and was able to capture the wide piece ofnd beneath.

    It was arge piece ofnd densely covered with forests.

    Bright green color from the scenery stretched and connected to the edge of the sky.

    ¡°Roar!!!¡±

    Qin Feng was alerted by a loud sound from behind.

    As Qin Feng had only been there for seconds during his dive, the beast roar that came from behind was obviously a flying ultra beast.

    Stomp!

    Qin Feng came to a halt and immediately dodged sideways, he had also managed to take a look behind and identify what was after him.

    Then, he noticed that it was a gigantic bird that was extremely violent.

    With its gigantic wings, extended abdomen and the feathers that were attached to its tail, it could most probably have the capability of a C-tier.

    It was indeed intimidating.

    Corrosive Vulture!

    An ultra beast that was famous for its bad reputation.

    Qin Feng did not want to deal with the ultra beast, however, he did not have the speed advantage to get away as he was travelling in the air.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Boom!

    A pitch-ck colored cloud instantly exploded in the sky, the scene was intimidating like a massive storm was about toe.

    Of course, some were still able to recognize it as dark abilities.

    It was only exposed when Qin Feng did not bother to hide it!

    The Corrosive Vulture was instantly being captured within the dark shroud and was unable to escape from it as Qin Feng continued to dive at high speed.

    As soon as Qin Feng descended to a lower altitude, he was able to clearly see the great piece ofnd beneath him.

    Surprisingly, it was a tropical forest!

    It was something that was absent from the Three Cities Along the Sun and the Four Cities of the North Sea.

    Qin Feng also had no idea where he was.

    The spatial passage that was opened by Bai Li had brought Qin Feng to the other side of the earth!

 Chapter 376 - West Hemisphere Neil Forest

    <h4>Chapter 376: West Hemisphere Neil Forest</h4>

    The living condition in the North Hemisphere was much better as it was less crowded, and the avablend was greater in size. During the end times, the wilderness was mostly dominated by nts and animals.

    Qin Feng was at a location where an extremely huge forest was located, the Neil Forest.

    Of course, it did not exist before the end times.

    Qin Feng identified the directions and headed toward the west.

    His first priority was to get to Dawn Town that was situated beside the Neil Forest, it was a town situated at the frontline and was simr to Shadong Town, however, there were not any frequent attacks by the beasts from the forest.

    Therefore, Dawn Town had survived andsted for about a hundred years!

    Qin Feng walked within the tropical forest while minding every step he took as he had been trying to avoid other beasts.

    However, it was nearly impossible to avoid every single one of the beasts within such a dense andplicated environment.

    All of a sudden, a bright green viper appeared from the bushes and wrapped itself around Qin Feng legs.

    It was a huge viper at about three meters in length, the widest part of its body was about the size of a palm, and if it were not because of the massive bushes earlier, it would not have hidden itself from Qin Feng.

    However, it was merely an F-tier ultra beast.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and pointed his finger toward the viper, a st of me that was about the size of a finger hit onto the viper and pierced through its head.

    The viper fell on the ground instantly and twisted its body several times before it waspletely dead.

    It was indeed a worthless sacrifice for it to seek trouble with Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng continued to move forward, and took down some other ultra beasts and insectoids that had dug their own graves.

    All of a sudden, Qin Feng sensed something and looked down.

    He had stepped onto a piece of dampened ground, and there was a fragrant odor that lingered around.

    It was a smell that would never be forgotten.

    Qin Feng looked around and immediately identified a special nt under a tiny seedling.

    The nt looked simr to chrysanthemum; however, its pistil was pale blue in color while the petals were green in color, and the entire nt was merely the size of a palm.

    ¡°Tear flower!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a smile.

    Of course, the special nt was the reason for his journey there.

    For the others, even with their D-tier capabilities, setting foot onto the West Hemisphere would be an impossible task for them, and even if they were to obtain support from the Wanzong Organization, they would still be unable to get their hands onto such items.

    However, it was an easy task for Qin Feng that had Bai Li with him.

    Qin Feng took out an ordinary F-tier dagger and cut across the tiny seedling.

    Surprisingly, it was a mutated nt, and it began to wiggle wildly.

    However, it was merely a tiny seedling with G2-tier capabilities, and the attacks from its branches did not cause any harm to Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Qin Feng cut down the tiny seedling and dug out the tear flower.

    Qin Feng lifted the tear flower that dappled under the sunlight and exposed the flower under the light rays, instantly, two openings were formed on the blue pistil and tears began to roll down from the petals.

    It was the tear flower.

    It had the special attribute where tears would roll down from it whenever it came into contact with sunlight, and it would never dry out as long as there was sunlight avable.

    The tear drops also had the special ability to repel ultra beasts.

    The first attribute of it was rather useless to be used within a tropical forest.

    However, its tear drops could be very useful to keep ultra beasts away, and by applying it onto the body, it could be an effective way to secure the safety of its applicant.

    Therefore, such a feature had driven the expensive price of the tear flower.

    A tiny flower from it would cost a whopping five hundred thousand.

    As Qin Feng was observing the flowers, he was alerted by a sudden booming noise.

    Using his consciousness, he was able to identify a bullet that was closing in, and it was shot from a highly-powered sniper rifle.

    As the bullet was about to prate into his skull, Qin Feng frowned slightly and the bullet was instantly stopped at its position!

    ¡°Repel!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his conscious energy control and repelled the thin and elongated sniper bullet in a reversed direction.

    Furthermore, it travelled at a much higher speed than the speed it was travelling at when it was shot.

    At the blink of an eye, the bullet had travelled five hundred meters away and was aimed toward a gunner that was crouching under a giant tree.

    The gunner opened his eyes wide as he was alerted by it, while a conscious energy wave began to disseminate around him, his minimal conscious energy disallowed him to have the capability to react and dodge the retaliated shot, and it was impossible for him to identify the speed of the bullet.

    After all, he was merely an E-tier gunner.

    His body took the hit and was immediately pushed backward as he fell off from a giant tree branch, a silenced grunt was heard, and everyone that was sneaking around Qin Feng was shocked by the scene.

    However, Qin Feng continued with his action within the next moment.

    He travelled through the shadows and appeared behind an ancient warrior.

    Certainly, they were not called ancient warriors in the West Hemisphere, they were called the physical users.

    However, the capability of the physical user was too weak to handle Qin Feng¡¯s attack!

    Qin Feng immediately raised his leg and kicked his opponent¡¯s back.

    He had only used one tenth of all of his strength on the kick.

    However, his opponent was instantly sent flying, and he mmed onto a giant tree.

    Pow!

    The physical users from the West Hemisphere prioritized enhancement of their physical capabilities, therefore, most of them were above two meters in height, and often had muscr bodies that were simr to the parallel ancient warriors.

    Qin Feng had literally sent a gigantic and sturdy human-shaped bomb flying.

    Crack!

    The tree that took the hit was immediately crushed, and the physical state of the western physical user was obviously in a dire situation.

    His spine was destroyed by Qin Feng¡¯s kick, and it had affected his internal organs and broken down his veins.

    Dead!

    ¡°Damn it!¡¯ An enraged roar that was simr to a female Tyrannosaurus was heard, followed by a massive amount of mes that were being sted out.

    ¡°ying fire with me?¡± Qin Feng let out a cold sneer, he raised his hand and arge me explosion sted out.

    The me was much stronger and wilder, and even the rune allocations were more intense.

    mes collided with each other.

    The me attack from Qin Feng instantly shrouded the western female in drowning mes.

    ¡°Ah ah ah ah!¡±

    Miserable shrieks were heard.

    As soon as the mes died off, there was only a charred corpse left behind.

    It was indeed a tragedy for a fire ability user to die under mes of an opponent.

    At the same moment, Qin Feng sensed the presence of two others, however, both of them were shocked by the scene and began to cautiously fall back in silence.

    Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was able to ¡°see¡± their movements, and one of them was drawing a cross sign from his forehead to his throat, and it seemed that he was praying to God.

    Unfortunately, God would not be able to help them, and they should have realized that there would be such an oue when they first decided to attack Qin Feng.

    ¡°Magma Pir!¡±

    His conscious energy shifted slightly, both of them did not know what was happening as the ground underneath their feet had already turned into magma, they were trapped alive within it; within a split second, they were charred by the insanely high temperature and turned into ashes.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and took away their pouches.

    Perhaps it was because of the difference in terms of location, the western spatial rune equipment was all shaped into pocket sizes.

    Then, Qin Feng walked toward the aptitude user that had been kicked to death by him and took hismunicator.

    As soon as it was connected, Qin Feng instantly obtained the map of the location.

    Surprisingly, it was still quite far away from Dawn Town.

 Chapter 377 - Purchasing Tear Flower

    <h4>Chapter 377: Purchasing Tear Flower</h4>

    The Neil Forest was not the same as the North Sea Desert, therefore, Qin Feng was reluctant to activate his Sky Dweller, and the vulture that had attacked him earlier had the capability of a C-tier!

    Qin Feng could only take on the journey by foot, fortunately, he was travelling swiftly, and with his full speed, it would only take him slightly more than an hour to arrive at his destination.

    ¡°Whoa whoa whoa!¡±

    Swoosh swoosh!

    Cool breeze swept over the forest, and it was unknown whether it was the noise of leaves brushing against each other, or there were wild beasts that were moving around.

    A small team of aptitude users that was settling down was alerted and immediately turned around.

    ¡°Hey, did you see the human shadow that just passed by?¡±

    ¡°Are you daydreaming? Stupid, there was nothing!¡±

    ¡°Stop daydreaming and finish up your food, the battle will take ce soon!¡±

    The entire group of people did not know that there was indeed a shadow that had passed through, and it was Qin Feng¡¯s shadow.

    It was already near the edge of the Neil Forest, teams that roamed around had even been downgraded from E-tier to F-tier teams, and they were all extremely weak.

    In other words, it was getting closer to Dawn Town!

    Soon, Qin Feng saw a highway before him.

    Obviously, it was a man-made highway, and it was located within a secured area.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and released a ray of silver coloured light; his hover tank was activated and he started travelling along the highway.

    However, after only five minutes of travelling, Qin Feng could see features of a small town appearing before him.

    Unlike the small towns of other ces that Qin Feng had been to, the small town was indeed beautiful!

    It was like an imaginarynd of joy and plenty, the outer part of the town was circled and protected by a stream of river, and surprisingly, the surrounding walls were all built with logs that were all densely covered with vines. Furthermore, there was also a skyscraper tree that stood up high at the centre of the town.

    The giant tree was about fifty meters in height, it was like the crown had prated into the clouds, there were also small houses that were built above the branches of the tree, and all of the houses were upied.

    Also, the giant tree was releasing the aura of a C-tier mutated nt.

    However, Qin Feng knew that the giant tree was the mayor of Dawn Town, a conversion from a C-tier ability user.

    It could be considered as the contract beast of the mayor!

    Qin Feng drove his car into town, everyone was surprised by the luxurious looking car and its brand, and some even whistled.

    Everyone around was tall and had a well-built physique, they had blonde hair, bright blue pupils and dark skin tone.

    They were from a totally different race.

    Qin Feng scouted around from his car and immediately found his target.

    Mutated nt sellers weremonly seen at Dawn Town, simrly, spirit herb sellers were alsomonly seen at the Three Cities along the Sun or the North Sea!

    Qin Feng stopped his car and took a nce at the nts that were disyed behind a bullet proof window, only then, he went ahead and entered the shop.

    Bells jingled, and a middle-aged person in the shop was looking at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Wee, oh, surprisingly, an easterner, anything for you? You seem to be an underaged kid.¡±

    The tone of the shopkeeper was slightly irreverent.

    ¡°I am looking for the tear flower!¡±

    Qin Feng did not speak with his own voice; however, he released his conscious energy to convey his thoughts.

    It was amon behaviour that could also be used by ultra beasts.

    Being an A-tier king of mercenary before his rebirth, Qin Feng had been all around the world and he knew exactly how to converse by using the westernnguage.

    Although he did not have an ability core at that time, his powerful conscious energy was strong enough to allow him to master anguage within a short period of time.

    However, he had now purposely chosen to use his conscious energy to disy his intimidating strength!

    Indeed, such a suppressing conscious energy had shocked the shopkeeper and caught him off guard.

    ¡°Alright, good looking young man, tear flower, is that what you are looking for? How many millimetres will you need? How about an extra crystal perfume bottle for free?¡±

    Qin Feng smiled and pointed toward the tear flower that was ced at the bay window. ¡°I¡¯ll take this, one for 50 power credits!¡±

    The shopkeeper was shocked and asked cautiously to make sure, ¡°You mean, all of it?¡±

    There were more than twenty tear flower nts that were disyed at the bay window.

    Actually, the shopkeeper did not own them all, there were some that were being consigned for sale by others. After all, tear flowers would only be valuable when they were alive; however, they would be easily stolen by thieves if they were to be ced in homes!

    Nobody could afford to hire designated guards to protect them.

    If tear flowers were sold all at once, the shopkeeper would definitely earn an enormous amount of profit.

    Qin Feng remained silent and turned his hand around, a pocket appeared on his palm and dropped onto the counter.

    The shopkeeper immediately took it up, and it was filled with sparkling and translucent solidified energy cubes that were in cubic centimetres.

    They were all power credits.

    If the credits were to be converted into Qin Feng¡¯s mary term, it would have the conversion rate of one to ten thousand.

    There were several reasons that had caused the westerners to prefer trading with power credits such as low poption, geographical environment restrictions that had made cross-barrier movements extremely difficult,munication barrier, unsecured mary value on themunicator, and also, Dawn Town itself was already a highly-ranked town!

    The shopkeeper counted the power credits and it was exactly the amount needed to purchase all of the tear flowers that were on the bay window.

    He winked and said, ¡°The amount is insufficient; these tear flowers can only be sold at 55 power credits each!¡±

    It was indeed a premium price charged onto products that were highly sought after!

    Qin Feng let out a cold sneer and instantly activated his massive amount of conscious energy to showcase his power.

    The conscious energy of a beast emperor instantly exploded.

    ¡°Do you believe that I can just take your life right here and it would be as easy as the twist of a hand?¡±

    The shopkeeper was shocked and his face turned pale-white, he fell back to his seat as he was terrified and wet himself.

    Despite being a shopkeeper, he still had the capability of an F-tier, however, he was being cocky just because he had a patron that could support him!

    Unfortunately, he had messed with the wrong person!

    Obviously, Qin Feng was not the right target for him to bully.

    ¡°Where are my items?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Yes, oh God, customers will always be God, please hold on!¡±

    The middle-aged person was scared witless and immediately took out the tear flowers from the bullet proof ss and handed them over to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng raised his hand, and all of the tear flowers were immediately transferred into the Battlegod Tomb.

    There were twenty pots of them in a single purchase, and it had only cost ten million, however, Qin Feng was after more than twenty.

    If possible, Qin Feng would want to have two hundred thousand of them, and it would only cost him a hundred billion!

    Beforeing here, Qin Feng had already converted his funds into power credits worth a hundred billion.

    However, it was still unknown whether he could source for such a huge amount of supply.

    Qin Feng walked out from the spirit herb shop and moved on to the next shop with his car.

    However, as soon as he left, the shopkeeper that was scared witless immediately made a call on hismunicator.

    ¡°Boss, I have identified a wealthy prey that you might be interested in!¡± The middle-aged person smiled and let out a vicious expression.

    Qin Feng spent a day traveling around the entire Dawn Town, and he had only managed to find a thousand pots of tear flowers, however, he was informed about a useful tip.

    Since a long time ago, the special product of tear flowers had been scaled up to mass production, and the production was located in the northern area of Dawn Town.

    Most probably, it would have been incorporated with the local ntation to prevent attacks from the ultra beasts.

 Chapter 378 - Qin Feng Gets Mobbed

    <h4>Chapter 378: Qin Feng Gets Mobbed</h4>

    Qin Feng nned to visit the nting site tomorrow, he just was not sure if they would sell it to him inrge quantities.

    As he walked out of the store, he saw that there was a beautiful blond woman leaning against Silver Bolt.

    She was indeed a sight to behold, wless skin with an astounding appearance. Not only that, she had an impressive figure that did not have the restrictions that Easterners had with a plumpness that seemed almost ready to spill out at any moment. There were also passersby who were sneaking covetous nces.

    Qin Feng approached and said, ¡°Excuse me, please move!¡±

    ¡°An Easterner?¡± The woman looked at him with a pair of wintry eyes before lighting a cigarette and started smoking. ¡°You¡¯re just my type, would you like to spend a nice evening with me?¡±

    That was said with a flirtatious tone before a puff of smoke was blown Qin Feng¡¯s way.

    But Qin Feng was faster.

    Boom!

    His internal force burst out, forming ayer of light that covered his body.

    The woman¡¯s thick smoke was immediately blocked out, but the internal force shield was dyed ck from the smoke.

    She did not expect Qin Feng to react so quickly,ughing as she raised a hand that shimmered with darkness.

    This was also a person with the Dark Ability.

    The darkness spread over the internal force. Then, as if alive, it flowed downward across the internal force and rapidly sank into Qin Feng¡¯s shadow before the attack connected with his body.

    ¡°Shadow Bind!¡±

    The woman then eximed: ¡°What are you boys waiting for?!¡±

    Then several more people appeared out of seemingly nowhere.

    This woman turned out to be a D-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°Say your prayers kid, cause that money you¡¯ve got is gonna get me a new gun!¡±

    A scarlet beam was shot out by a gunner that had suddenly appeared.

    A termination ray!

    An evolved form of a dposing ster.

    It was a signature weapon of many D-tier gunners as this kind of ster could puncture through the internal force shield of most D-tier ancient warriors.

    The most notable thing would be its price.

    Qin Feng felt a little bit annoyed by the premise. If they had so much money, why would they still want to rob someone, could it be that they only got money through robbing people?

    They were both D-tier aptitude users, were they not worried about coteral damage if they actually fought?

    But seeing their unscrupulous faces, it probably meant that they were not afraid.

    Qin Feng sneered, if so, then it was not his fault if he acted cruelly.

    His form instantly disappeared and instantly reappeared right behind the gunner.

    ¡°Psionic Impact!¡±

    The gunner was surprised by his speed, but quickly unleashed a counterattack.

    A telekic force stabbed into Qin Feng like a sharp arrow.

    He did not react to it. Instead, he mobilized his own consciousness.

    ¡°Psionic Impact!

    If his opponent¡¯s attack were like an arrow, then Qin Feng¡¯s was like ance.

    When the two consciousnesses met, the opposing force could not withstand Qin Feng¡¯s attack and crumbled away like a y pigeon being hit by a bullet.

    Pop!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness mmed into the gunner.

    ¡°Aaah!¡±

    Then the gunner let out a scream of pain as blood seeped from the corner of his eyes, mouth and from his ears. If that attack did not kill him, it would have mentally shattered him!

    Qin Feng grabbed the gunner by the wrist and flipped him onto the ground, the sound of bones breaking could be heard upon impact as the termination ray was pried out of his hands.

    The other three people, including the blonde beauty, stared in Qin Feng with a cross of shock and amazement.

    Without hesitation, Qin Feng pointed the ster at the group and fired.

    Bam!

    A physical user of the group could not run away in time, the beam scouring his skin and ripping off a portion of where he had been hit as his body was hit by the light.

    ¡°Aah!!¡±

    A mortified scream rang out as the physical user copsed to the ground from the pain, stumbling away from Qin Feng¡¯s range of attack.

    ¡°Watch out for the gun and waste him!¡±

    The blonde woman did not know how Qin Feng had broken free of her attack but she had to do this the hard way now.

    ¡°Go to hell!¡±

    A burly man that looked to be about two meters tall, built like a tank, rushed toward him with great force.

    The fist that collided with him carried with it a thunderous force.

    Qin Feng, unwilling to show weakness, parried the blow.

    The two fists collided together with Qin Feng¡¯s wrapped in internal force. Western physical users used a simr kind of power, it was cruder than internal force but it was stubborn force.

    Boom!

    Just from a single punch, the victor had been decided.

    Crack, crick, ck!

    Bits of bones burst out from the user¡¯s elbow and he was sent flying backward!

    Boom!

    Crash!

    On the opposite end of the street, the sound of a storefront window shattering could be heard.

    The other injured physical user rushed over, the stones cracking with every step forward.

    Qin Feng punched again, and this physical user also suffered the same fate as hispanion.

    In an instant, the people who tried to jump Qin Feng ended up with two heavily injured and one dead. They had lost all of theirbat effectiveness.

    The blonde woman red at Qin Feng with a subdued rage and mobilized her consciousness.

    ¡°Come out and y, my little darlings!¡±

    She pulled out a small pouch and instantly a spatial passage appeared in front of her before a torrent of skeletons was sent flying out.

    Qin Feng was not surprised, his opponent was a Dark ability user. It would have been normal for them to use these kinds of moves.

    His consciousness spread out, cutting through the skeletons.

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    He pointed at the blonde woman and the skeletons stopped mid-rush, turned around and began to charge in her direction.

    ¡°Aaieee! A demon! It¡¯s a demon!¡±

    The woman let out a panicked cry. Qin Feng just robbed her of the creatures she summoned using her Dark ability, which was also a massive blow to her morale.

    She was not crazy, she knew when it was time to run.

    It was at this time, a piercing siren was heard and countless people in uniforms blocked the street.

    ¡°Who said you could make a move, how about you show some respect to Mr. Kaelin!¡±

    Among the people in uniforms, there actually was a D-tier physical user.

    That must be Kaelin!

    He was also surrounded by six more D-tier aptitude users!

    They seemed strong.

    They unleashed their volley of attacks, sting through the wave of skeletons like they were made out of paper, crushing the tide into ashes.

    The blonde woman hid behind Kaelin, pointing at Qin Feng with a face mixed with fear and anger.

    ¡°I don¡¯t give a damn about respecting the people I want to kill!¡± Qin Feng said before disappearing again.

    Dark Shadow.

    The woman was a Dark ability user herself, she was taken aback for a moment before her face paled dramatically.

    Qin Feng did not even give her a chance. In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind her and mmed a hand into the side of her neck!

    Krack!

    The internal force in his hand exploded upon impact, instantly killing his target.

    Kaelin was furious!

    This brat did not just ignore him but he also just up and killed a subordinate in front of him!

    ¡°Bring him in for interrogation! He must be from the Dark Coalition!¡± Kaelin roared.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression fell.

    Obviously, a foreigner with a different appearance and skin color would have been a target for these kinds of people.

    ¡°We¡¯ll see about that!¡±

    He let out a chilly chuckle before revealing his aura!

 Chapter 379 - Out of Blows Friendship Grows

    <h4>Chapter 379: Out of Blows Friendship Grows</h4>

    Qin Feng was not just a D-tier, he was a D-tier Emperor.

    Once his aura was revealed, these people felt a tremendous amount of pressure pushing down on them.

    ¡°Bastard, you¡¯re just a kid. Let¡¯s see just how powerful you are!¡±

    A burly patrolman stared down at Qin Feng, he looked much too young. Even at the height of 1.9 meters, in their eyes, his appearance did not seem like an adult¡¯s.

    Maybe he just had some special ability that could release an aura that could upset them?

    If not, why had he not taken action yet?

    In the patrolman¡¯s mind, he did not believe that Qin Feng held such strength.

    Which was why this patrolman mmed his fists together, causing a loud bang as they collided together, and his body began to burn with a strange energy.

    That man¡¯s aura was enhanced and he stepped forward.

    Qin Feng saw that this man wanted to fight and was not nning on giving up, naturally he responded in kind.

    Boom!

    Two fists collided, causing a violent seismic wave as an unseen wave of energy was expelled from the point of collision. It felt like a st of gale force winds, sending dust scattering everywhere.

    The windows of the shop closest to Qin Feng shattered in an instant.

    Crash!

    An energy explosion!

    ¡°Another!¡±

    Qin Feng roared as he raised his fist.

    Boom!

    This time, the internal force spread out like a fan. Even the patrol squad members in the back were affected.

    For a moment, everyone could only nt themselves to the ground in order to not be blown away by this force.

    Large ditches began to form on the tarmac road as it caved.

    If a D-tier aptitude user really wanted to destroy something, a small town like this would not have been able to withstand the onught.

    Fortunately, whether it was Qin Feng or the others around him, everyone was holding back and the force put into this battle did not spread out too much.

    Regardless, the civilians had begun to evacuate, not daring to stay in the vicinity.

    ¡°Everyone, all at once!¡±

    That burly and strong looking man called out, seemingly intimidated by Qin Feng!

    ¡°Kid, I¡¯ll see you in hell!¡±

    Kaelin roared, unleashing his own physical ability as his body suddenly grew in mass, reaching up to the height of 2.5 meters. He was more than two heads taller than Qin Feng, whose head just barely reached Kaelin¡¯s chest.

    A fist asrge as a sandbag came rushing in like an avnche.

    Around Kaelin, the other people began to unleash their attacks. They surrounded Qin Feng so closely that he was unable to find any safe ground.

    Four arms were better than two, maybe this was the right moment!

    Qin Feng¡¯s hands began to fill with a golden light.

    ¡°Tornado Cloud!¡±

    Qin Feng did a spin, the internal force in his hands manifesting into a golden dragon that circled around his body. The dragon¡¯s ws collided with and swatted away the enemy¡¯s attacks.

    Bash! Bash! Bash! Bash!

    Out of the seven that were hit, three were sent flying and three more decided to make their retreat. Only Kaelin managed to withstand Qin Feng¡¯s attack!

    He had a D5-tier physical user¡¯s body after all, he was powerful enough to hold his ground.

    Kaelin was still shocked, his punch was enough to instantly knock out D-tier giant bull-like ultra beasts, but it was deflected by Qin Feng¡¯s martial arts. Meanwhile, Qin Feng managed to knock away all of his subordinates. In an instant, the tables had been turned!

    Qin Feng looked calm andposed, this was not even the best he could do yet!

    Otherwise, he would probably end up destroying Dawn Town!

    ¡°Damn!¡±

    ¡°Fight!¡±

    ¡°Boy, I¡¯m going to teach you a lesson!¡±

    Even though they were beaten up and down. These people still kepting, unwilling to admit defeat as they tried again and again.

    Qin Feng did not mind. He fought whoever came at him, one on one, two on one. He just did not kill anyone, allowing them a lease of life.

    Even then, these people were beaten until they were crying miserably. Sort of like little girls.

    Bang!

    Boom!

    ¡°Crap!¡±

    Qin Feng defeated these people in three quick strokes.

    In the distance were E-tier patrol members who had guns in their hands. They were trained on Qin Feng but did not dare fire. Whenever Qin Feng gave them a passing nce, they felt their legs tremble.

    ¡°Christ! Who the hell is that?¡±

    ¡°Such an internal force! He¡¯s an ancient martial artist from the East!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s impossible! How is someone so fast?!¡±

    ¡°General Kaelin is getting wrecked?!¡±

    These people could not believe it, but it was the truth.

    Kaelin was probably the one who received the most blows from Qin Feng. He was dizzy after a few punches, his abdomen receiving multiple hits from Qin Feng¡¯s attacks.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength really was emperor tier.

    After a few more attacks, Kaelin actually retreated!

    For a moment, both parties refused to budge!

    Because of Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shield, his clothes were not creased.

    On the contrary, the two meter tall man he fought had a ck eye and a swollen face.

    These were all D-tier people, since when did they be children who were being taught a lesson?

    Now, Kaelin knew that it was a bad idea to have provoked Qin Feng. The woman who attacked him before was dead and it was not like he really knew that person.

    However, bullying outsiders was something he did often. Which was why he came over to assist.

    Now, the situation was different. The woman had been killed and Kaelin could not get any benefits from Qin Feng. There was no need to fight to the death.

    Thinking of this, he did not push the situation any further, deciding that the two sides had entered a stalemate.

    When Qin Feng saw that the opposing side did not even dare look at him he knew that the battle was not going to continue.

    It was not a fight to the death, it was just some rough-housing.

    ¡°We¡¯re done fighting?¡± Qin Feng asked in a low voice.

    Kaelin cleared his throat, coughing before letting out a fakeugh, ¡°Ahem, buddy, I think we may have gotten into a misunderstanding!¡±

    ¡°Misunderstanding indeed. I think the ones from the Dark Coalition are actually these people!¡±

    He pointed a finger at the ones on the ground, two of them were injured and unconscious and the gunner was mentally scrambled.

    As for the woman, her body was cold already.

    Kaelin¡¯s mouth twitched, these were people from his town. Of course he would know if they were actually Dark Coalition members or not.

    Qin Feng¡¯s words just allowed Kaelin to step out of this kind of conversation. Now, he could only just follow up on them.

    ¡°Yes, take them in for questioning!¡±

    The rest of the patrol looked at Qin Feng with fear before stepping forward and carrying the three away, not daring to even make eye contact at all.

    However, Kaelin did nott leave.

    ¡°Young man, I¡¯ve never seen you in Dawn Town before. I¡¯m really sorry for this misunderstanding!¡±

    Qin Feng replied, ¡°It¡¯s my first time here. I didn¡¯t expect the authorities of Dawn Town to be my eye-opener of the day!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be so serious buddy, it¡¯s cool now. How about I invite you over for a drink?¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll count that as your apology!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    ¡°Friend, don¡¯t think about any of that anymore!¡± Kaelin said hurriedly. The original tense atmosphere had been reced with the feeling of being like post-brawl acquaintances.

    Kaelin¡¯s body reverted to normal, but his huge body was still a head taller than Qin Feng¡¯s.

    ¡°Buddy, since this is your first time here I¡¯ll definitely show you a good time! How about that? Cuisine, booze and beauties!¡± Kaeline said warmly.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression remained indifferent. ¡°Save the beauties, I¡¯ve got a wife.¡±

 Chapter 380 - Pyric Drake

    <h4>Chapter 380: Pyric Drake</h4>

    He just had a beautiful woman try to poison him just now, he was not taking any chances with another one.

    Qin Feng could not be bothered with it.

    What was more, Qin Feng had a mild heart down to the core. Lust was not one of his driving forces.

    The bars in Dawn Town were quite lively, just like the hot springs in Shadong Town!

    The frontline was a ce where death could be around the corner at any moment, people learned that it was important to have fun when life could leave at anytime.

    Qin Feng found himself being approached by an attractive woman in a bikini who led him to his table, strutting along the way.

    ¡°Alright buddy, since I can¡¯t beat you with my fists, how about we have ourselves a good ol¡¯ drinkingpetition? This is Dawn Town¡¯s speciality beer, made from a benign mutant barley!¡±

    Of course, the beer being presented was not something that ordinary people would be able to handle.

    When it came to drinkingpetitions, Qin Feng¡¯s internal force allowed him to have a stronger resolve, one better than many others!

    ¡°That¡¯s not necessary!¡± Qin Feng gave a small smile.

    ¡°Still trying to egg me, boy?¡± Kaelin seemed like someone who was a sore loser.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°How about this? Let¡¯s make a bet. Whoever loses has to do what the winner tells him to do!¡±

    ¡°Sure! If you lose, you have to strip naked and do a sprint around town!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, I came here for business. So, if you lose, General, then you¡¯ll have to sell all of the teardrop flowers in Dawn Town to me!¡±

    Kaelin heard the word sell and did not think too much about it, after all, he would still profit!

    Since there was not any pressure, Kaelin burst outughing.

    ¡°Okay! There¡¯s an idea!¡±

    Kaelin was still thinking that this customer was someone with buying power. If he could get them drunk enough, then Qin Feng could pay for the drinks!

    ¡°Cheers!¡±

    ¡°Cheers!¡±

    The huge mugs were lifted into the air before they were downed. Qin Feng maintained hisposure, taking downrge gulps as he drained the entire mug.

    Soon, his stomach felt like it was on fire and the effects of the alcohol rushed up to his head.

    Qin Feng chuckled, using his internal force to shake the drunkenness away before it began.

    This beer was not cheap, and it was made with real materials. The energy from the materials were naturally absorbed, which meant that the alcoholic effect was dispelled!

    ¡°Another!¡±

    ¡°Another one!¡±

    Another round of beer, neither of them seemed to have changed inposure but Kaelin¡¯s face was starting to turn red.

    This did not have low levels of alcohol content!

    After downing seven mugs in one go, Kaelin was not looking very good.

    The mugs they were holding were about the size of pitchers. The amount of alcohol they held was downed like they were just water, straight into the holder¡¯s stomachs!

    What shocked Kaelin and the others who decided to watch this scene was that Qin Feng did not even seem drunk at all! His face was not even red!

    ¡°Another round¡± Qin Feng suggested.

    Kaelin really wanted to call for another but he put his hand onto his stomach and cried out, ¡°Bathroom! Let me deal with this first!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha!¡±

    The entire bar burst out into boisterousughter.

    There was no distinction between superiority and those below them here. Even if someone was D-tier, if it was funny, people were going to openlyugh.

    More than that, a group of attractive women began to approach Qin Feng, finding interest in the foreigner.

    ¡°Wanna have a good time, sir?¡±

    Qin Feng pulled out a small ck bag and said, ¡°You can start by leaving me alone and making sure nobody else bothers me.¡±

    The woman arched a brow and looked into the bag. Under the light, one cubic meter of power credits was revealed, causing the peering eyes to widen.

    ¡°No problem, leave it to me!¡±

    The woman went around the bar, handing cash over to some intimidating looking fellows to sit closer to Qin Feng¡¯s table, surrounding him and preventing other people from approaching.

    After a while, Kaelin stumbled back and tried to continue drinking with Qin Feng, but he was turned down!

    ¡°You¡¯ve lost, General. Don¡¯t forget our agreement!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯ll take you there tomorrow!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m leaving!¡±

    He then took out themunicator of the person he killed earlier and copied down Kaelin¡¯s number. It would be easier to find the general that way.

    When he left the bar, it was alreadyte. He eventually found a decent hotel to stay in!

    He did not have much to do, so he meditated.

    He sat cross-legged on his bed, closing his eyes as he rested.

    Floating in front of him was an upside down jade pyramid, being held up by his consciousness.

    Nowadays, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness improvement depended entirely on the Godwill As, he spent most of his time cultivating using it.

    As his consciousness moved through the As, branching out and retracting, it allowed him to train precise control of his consciousness.

    ¡°Huff.¡±

    When he opened his eyes, he decided to put the Godwill As away.

    His consciousness was increasing very quickly. He had even killed many D-tier beast kings this time, now all he needed was the crystal core of a beast king with ability. That would greatly increase his consciousness¡¯ capabilities.

    And the Godwill As would allow him to fine tune his control over said consciousness.

    It was at this time, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness picked up the presence of a creature.

    Then, a siren sounded throughout Dawn Town.

    ¡°Beep! D-Tier Beast King sighted. All civilians seek shelter. Repeat, all civilians seek shelter!¡±

    People were roused from their sleep as they made a dash for a safe ce to hide in.

    Qin Feng was on the sixth floor. When he looked out the window, he could see a fiery red shape appear in the horizon.

    Even if Qin Feng did not have the ability to see in the dark, he could still clearly see such a creature.

    It was a Pyric Drake.

    It looked like those Western dragons, the ones looking likerge lizards with a pair of wings.

    Everyone held their breaths, hoping that this drake was only just passing by.

    Things did not go as they had hoped. This drake noticed the towering trees in Dawn Town and decided that it would be a good ce to perch and take a break in.

    However, the energy shield around the town blocked this drake from entering.

    Since it was this close, everyone could see how terrifying this monster was. It was fifty meters long and twenty meters tall. When standing up, the thing could have been six storeys tall. It blocked out the sky as it soared over Dawn Town!

    It let out an earth-shattering roar, causing the energy shield to vibrate and still-exposed civilians to cover their ears as blood began to seep from their damaged ears.

    Horrifying!

    What was even more horrifying was what followed.

    It decided that the energy shield was a good enough perch.

    With how heavy the dragon was, the energy shield would be crushed by it!

    ¡°The Behemoth Beam Cannons are ready!¡±

    ¡°Fire!¡±

    ¡°Fire!¡±

    ¡°Fire!¡±

    It took awhile for the beam cannons to align themselves, but they were all eventually fired.

    The beams were locked onto the drake, firing with extreme uracy.

    ¡°Vyoooom.¡±

    Several rays of light struck the drake and exploded.

    ¡°Hrssk!!¡±

    The Pyric Drake was obviously in pain from such an attack, but when the fire dissipated, it only looked like the dragon had been lightly smeared with soot. There was no significant physical damage.

 Chapter 381 - Challenging the Drake

    <h4>Chapter 381: Challenging the Drake</h4>

    An attack like that against the Pyric Drake was too weak!

    It was a king level beast, and considering that it had the draconic ssification meant that this beast was many leagues above other simr level beast kings.

    However, the Behemoth Beam Cannon attacks managed to enrage it!

    Its throat swelled up, heat began to emanate from its belly as the Pyric Drake began to open its mouth.

    It was a no-brainer what the dragon was going to do.

    ¡°Dragon Breath!¡±

    ¡°Fwoosh!¡±

    A massive wave of fire andva was sprayed out, nketing the sky.

    Dawn Town¡¯s shield red with a painfully bright light, turning on its most powerful defensive setting in order to defend from this attack.

    But it was not enough!

    This kind of attack was just too powerful!

    In the matter of seconds, the attack broke through the shield!

    Then, it rained fire.

    The saying, ¡®Disasterse from the sky¡¯, seemed too perfect for this scenario!

    Fire came down like a rainstorm had just hit, covering all of Dawn Town.

    At this moment, a green light wrapped itself around the towering trees of Dawn Town. This light was simr to the shield that was supposed to defend the town.

    However, that was the only ce that was shielded. A small cepared to the other ces in town which had been engulfed in mes.

    ¡°Aaaahhhh!¡±

    The people let out terrified screams.

    The mes had burned away roofs and whatever else that was mmable. All of Dawn Town was burning.

    Qin Feng had not expected something like this to happen and was stunned for a moment!

    Based on all of his years of experience, he knew that the appearance of such a powerful king-level beast would mean theplete destruction of Dawn Town.

    Maybe it would leave some ces still standing, like the ces that the trees were at.

    It was the only safe ce.

    The drake¡¯s rage obviously had not subsided. Its wingbeats only fanned the mes, and it was heading right toward the town¡¯s city wall.

    That was where the beams came from. It remembered!

    ¡°Quick! Ready a counterattack!¡±

    ¡°Idiot! The nting area is over there!¡±

    ¡°Instead of fighting in town, prepare a squad of expendables and lure the dragon away!¡±

    Kaelin roared out loud.

    The D-tier aptitude users had originally been feasting and partying with him earlier, who would have expected such a disaster to ur.

    Dawn Town had not experienced such a terrible attack for many years!

    The fluid of the tear flowers was very strong, no matter how strong the ultra beast was it would drive them away without fail.

    Qin Feng just so happened to catch these people talking. When he heard the words ¡®nting area¡¯, he scowled.

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

    He originally came to buy tear flowers. Now, he wanted to know how powerful this Pyric Drake was, and he also knew that if it were to destroy everything, his ns would be ruined!

    With that in mind, Qin Feng jumped out of the window!

    His hotel was at the outskirts of town, not in the center, and surrounded by giant mutant trees.

    When the fire happened, people collectively fled toward the woods to seek shelter there.

    ¡°Store!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was mobilized and the surrounding mes gathered toward where he was.

    The mes were immediately sucked into him, leaving behind the ckened and charred remains of what it had been burning. There were not even embers left.

    These mes were made out of fire runes, even if these were not his own runes, the control he had over his consciousness allowed him to make these runes his own.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Qin Feng moved quickly, jumping from building to building as mes trailed behind him. Almost as if forming into a serpentine dragon.

    He soon reached the edge of the city wall.

    There already was a squad of expendables trying to grab the drake¡¯s attention.

    Crash!

    The Drake¡¯s massive body collided with the town wall and immediately crushed an energy cannon. With just one w swipe, it pretty much cleaved the wall in half.

    A huge body gave it the ultimate advantage!

    At this time, Qin Feng had finally arrived!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber appeared in his hands!

    He hopped a few steps up and fell toward the Pyric Drake¡¯s back.

    Swing!

    He swung his de with all of his might. The momentum of his swing,bined with the weight of his body, allowed him to rip through a ten meter long gash on the Pyric Drake¡¯s back.

    The Pyric Drake reared back, feeling a great pain.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber had just cut through the Pyric Drake¡¯s skin and pierced its flesh. How could that have not hurt?

    A huge tail swung out toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Qin Feng sted himself out from the trajectory of the tail.

    In a sh, he had already reappeared in front of the Pyric Drake.

    The drake felt that its dignity had just been challenged. How could such a weak looking creature, something no bigger than its smallest w have done so much damage to it? The very thought infuriated it to no end.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The Pyric Drake opened its massive maw, and spat out a five meter wide fireball toward Qin Feng.

    Activate!

    Qin Feng did not try to dodge, and a bright light erupted from the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    A ten meter long fiery de extended from the sword tip, instantly splitting the fireball in half.

    Boom!

    The fireball was originally structured by runes, but once the runes had been separated, it immediately exploded!

    Qin Feng leapt out of the mes and aimed his attack at the Pyric Drake¡¯s snout.

    ¡°Burning Sky!¡±

    A terrifying light exploded from Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    This burning light directly connected with the Pyric Drake.

    ¡°Tssessk!¡±

    The Pyric Drake let out a pained whine, pulling away in a retreat as if it was trying to get away from this light!

    At this moment, Kaelin and the others who had arrived could not believe their eyes.

    ¡°Jesus H. Christ!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe my eyes right now!¡±

    ¡°Is... is he taking on a beast king alone?¡±

    Everyone was stunned!

    The Pyric Drake had been attacked, it was pulling away and taking flight.

    The sky was their domain.

    However, Qin Feng also had dominion in the air.

    ¡°Fiery Peacock Wings!¡±

    As blue mes erupted from his body, he also soared into the sky.

    These mes were so dazzling that the Pyric Drake could not help but look at Qin Feng, staring at him with hatred that bored into his bones.

    The drake was about to use its breath attack again.

    ¡°Shut your mouth!¡±

    He moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye he had reached the Pyric Drake¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°Overcast Dragon Technique!¡±

    His body began to make violent cracking sounds.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    The internal force turned into a golden light, forming into a huge dragon w and forcibly mmed into the Pyric Drake¡¯s mouth.

    This caused the Drake to misfire!

    Since Qin Feng was so close to the Pyric Drake, the drake felt that it was simply a golden opportunity!

 Chapter 382 - Facilitating Purchases

    <h4>Chapter 382: Facilitating Purchases</h4>

    The Pyric Drake snapped down its jaws, trying to swallow Qin Feng in one bite.

    Qin Feng was too fast, soaring away again with thebination of the Fiery Peacock Wings and another fire attack to st himself horizontally through the air in order to avoid the drake¡¯s attack.

    The Drake beat its wings and went after him in hot pursuit.

    Qin Feng was taking the lead, focused entirely on getting away.

    The Pyric Drake and Qin Feng gradually left Dawn Town!

    Within Dawn Town, Kaelin, who had not had the chance to take action, stared ahead with wide eyes. He did not know what to say!

    ¡°Oh sh*t, God came down and saved our asses!¡± One person eximed.

    They did not expect Qin Feng to be the one to lead the Pyric Drake away all by himself!

    ¡°What God? That¡¯s Qin Feng, a strong person from the East. Hurry up and follow him so we know what happens next!¡± Kaelinmanded loudly.

    All the D-tier aptitude users were dispatched. There were more than fifty of them.

    Like in Shadong Town, Dawn Town had many aptitude users. However, it was hard to gather them when the drake attacked so suddenly!

    Qin Feng had just bought them a lot of precious time!

    Meanwhile, he was racing through the night with the Pyric Drake right behind him.

    He evaded the nting area and soon reached the vast wilderness.

    It was time!

    He abruptly stopped. Then, he unleashed his Emperor level aura.

    A quick and decisive battle!

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s body flickered and reappeared on the Drake¡¯s neck just as it crashed down on where he was.

    He ferociously began to stab at its neck with the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The weapon had been empowered by D-tier beast Emperor material and was made out of star steel alloy. Its sharpness was like no other!

    It could easily rake through the drake¡¯s scales.

    The problem was that the Pyric Drake was a master at using fire runes, the Burning Sword re attack was useless against it.

    However, Qin Feng had something else!

    ¡°Dark Erosion!¡±

    A terribly thick dark liquid suddenly flowed out of Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    This was a condensed form of Decaying Rain. A move that he had thought of in case of a one-on-one battle after hisst fight with Yan Shuo.

    In an instant, a powerful corrosive liquid flowed into the wounds of the Pyric Drake.

    ¡°Hissss!¡±

    Like an extremely corrosive sulfuric acid, it could easily melt the skin and flesh of the human body. That was this liquid¡¯s power.

    ¡°Hwreek!!!¡±

    The drake let out a screech of pain.

    Ultra high temperature mes began to erupt from its neck. It was trying to use its fire runes to overpower and burn away the dark runes.

    ¡°Ability, Consume!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s absorption ability was activated and the mes surrounding him were swept away, quickly churning into a whirlwind that was sucked in through Qin Feng¡¯s brow.

    Now, even the fire runes would not do anything!

    As a king level beast, the Pyric Drake had intelligence. Now, it knew what fear was.

    It frantically beat its wings, shaking its neck to try and knock Qin Feng off but he was stuck fast, his feet remaining as firmly nted on the drake¡¯s neck like they had been nted into the flesh.

    By then, the Dark Erosion attack had already shown its results. The flesh and scale had been melted away to reveal thick white bone underneath, these were the drake¡¯s neckbones!

    He swung hard with the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Overcast Dragon!¡±

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    The power of the secret technique increased sharply and the strength of his internal force doubled.

    For a brief moment, Qin Feng had the unmatchable strength that could literally blow off hilltops.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was already swinging downward.

    ¡°Crack!¡±

    With one swing, the bone was neatly sliced by the de.

    The fierce orbs of light the Pyric Drake had as eyes, which looked like searchlights, were instantly put out.

    Its massive head tilted down, twisting unnaturally at a 90 degree angle.

    Then it began to fall. Crashing down into the ground!

    The Pyric Drake had been in!

    Qin Feng slid off the drake¡¯s body and examined it for a moment.

    ¡°Looks like I don¡¯t need to buy anymore Dragon Blood for the Battlegod Tomb for a while!¡±

    As he thought of this, his consciousness was mobilized.

    ¡°Store!¡±

    The dark runes on the Pyric Drake¡¯s neck were taken back, no longer eating away at its body.

    He sliced off the rotten parts before sending the whole drake into the Battlegod Tomb.

    Its body was almost as tall as a five-storey building and as wide as one too. Fortunately, the first level of the Battlegod Tomb was wide enough or else it would not have fitted at all.

    Even then, it gave Wang Chen and the others who were training in the tomb the fright of their lives.

    For a moment, they could just stare.

    ¡°Oh damn, that¡¯s a beast king?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a drake!¡±

    ¡°Quick! Collect the Dragon Blood!¡±

    Everyone in the Battlegod Tomb began to busy themselves and on Qin Feng¡¯s side of things, Kaelin and the others arrived just as the battle ended.

    They saw Qin Feng¡¯s battle from a distance, seeing how he had killed the drake with his own strength and how incredible he was in battle.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re a hell of a godsend you know that? That was insane!¡± Kaelin eximed.

    The people around him also addedpliments.

    ¡°You protected our town!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re a hero!¡±

    Qin Feng did not think he was a hero. Heroes had always been used by conquerors to calm the people down as a means of propaganda.

    A hero represented salvation.

    And Qin Feng believed that he was a conqueror instead.

    ¡°Right, you can stop with the ttering. I was just worried that the Pyric Drake might ruin the tear flowers in the ntation. Those are the goods I want to buy!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Kaelin had not expected Qin Feng to still be so persistent about the tear flowers.

    ¡°Qin Feng, since you want tear flowers so badly, how much would you like? I¡¯ll get someone to deliver them to you tomorrow morning!¡±

    ¡°I want your entire stock.¡±

    Kaelin¡¯s jaw dropped so hard that it almost unhinged itself.

    ¡°You¡¯re serious!¡±

    ¡°Of course. I¡¯ll buy all of what you have, I¡¯m not worried about the money!¡±

    ¡°But, we have 100 thousand tear flowers in Dawn Town!¡±

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll buy 100 thousand!¡±

    ¡°No no no, I need to ask my boss for advice! You¡¯d understand, the mayor¡¯s words are better. This business is beyond me!¡±

    Kaelin quickly waved his hand. If one hundred thousand nts were sold then the amount would be 50 billion. As a D-tier aptitude user, this kind of transaction where such arge sum of money was used in one go was just absolutely insane!

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for your reply!¡±

    ¡°Okay! Take a break! I¡¯ll get a message to you by the morning!¡¯

    ¡°Mhmm!¡± Qin Feng was not in a rush, he could spare another day¡¯s time.

    Afterward, under Kaelin¡¯s enthusiastic invitation, Qin Feng stepped under the giant woods of Dawn Town. There were treehouses on every branch and the air here was incredibly fresh and the energy here was refreshing, twice the amount of normal ces. This was definitely a good ce for cultivation.

    This kind of giant mutant tree was a treasure. Too bad someone already owned them, or else Qin Feng would have tried to take one and take it to Shadong Town!

 Chapter 383 - Snake Wood

    <h4>Chapter 383: Snake Wood</h4>

    The next morning, Kaelin got in touch with his own boss, Bruno, who was the mayor of Dawn Town!

    ¡°Do you mean to tell me that this Easterner is capable of getting rid of a D-tier beast king on his own?¡± Bruno asked.

    Naturally, Bruno was not in Dawn Town. Therefore, Kaelin had to contact him using themunicator.

    ¡°Yes. In fact, by the looks of it, he could do it very easily!¡± Kaelin answered.

    ¡°Hmm. Well then, send this video to him. Ask him if he is interested. If he can get us the mutated nt¡¯s seed, I will sell him 100,000 pots!¡± Bruno said after much thought.

    Very soon, Bruno sent a video over to Kaelin.

    As soon as Kaelin had received the video, he nodded in agreement after being stunned momentarily.

    When Qin Feng and Kaelin met, Qin Feng received the same video.

    Since the video was taken from afar, the graphics were not very clear.

    However, Qin Feng could tell that the creature in the video was huge!

    Although this giant tree was not as big as the tree in Dawn Town, it was certainlyrge.

    The trunk itself was forty meters in height, while the diameter was over thirty meters. With its twisted branches spreading outward, it did not have any leaves. However, there were countless vines dangling from the branches.

    The vines were like its hair. However, each vine was at least ten centimeters in length and were full of thorns.

    Wherever the vines touched on the ground near the roots of the tree, there would be carcasses ofrge mutant creatures.

    Meanwhile, there was arge tear flower below this mutated nt.

    The tear flower was massive.

    The flower¡¯s diameter was at least ten meters, which took up at least a quarter of the tree. Itsrge body faced the sun like a sunflower in a pot. However, the openings on its surface continuously secreted tears.

    Thend around these two mutated nts had already turned into a swamp.

    Tear flowers usually grew alongside other nts. Qin Feng wondered how long these two creatures had been together. From the time they were seedlings and now as fully grown beasts, the tear flower¡¯s tears had also changed.

    It now created a scent that could lure animals rather than repel them.

    ¡°What do you think? My boss said that if you can get its seed, he will sell you 100,000 pots of tear flowers!¡± Kaelin said.

    Qin Feng chuckled before putting his hand down.

    ¡°The seed of a Snake Wood isn¡¯t easy to acquire. Moreover, it¡¯s this kind. Based on its size, it would at least be of a beast king grade!¡±

    ¡°Oh? You recognize it. To be honest, I don¡¯t even know what it is. When I saw it, I was really surprised. However, the name Snake Wood sounds appropriate! Do you really n on killing this beast? If it were me, I¡¯d say it¡¯s too dangerous!¡± Kaelin said.

    However, Dawn Town¡¯s mayor had indeedtched onto Qin Feng¡¯s weak spot.

    Although Qin Feng was not bothered by the Snake Wood, he was tempted by the beast king tear flower.

    ¡°Tell the mayor to provide me with the exact location. I will try it out. However, you must protect my tear flower. It must not be damaged in the slightest bit!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Naturally!¡± Kaelin thumped his own chest and promised.

    Very soon, Qin Feng received the exact location and left Dawn Town on the same day.

    ***

    In Neil Forest, with the looming darkness of the night, there were sounds of birds and bugs. At a closer look, one could even see nocturnal predators on the hunt.

    After walking for an entire day, Qin Feng finally arrived at the location Dawn Town¡¯s mayor had given him.

    This was the inner section of Neil Forest. There was still a great distance before one would get to the deepest area.

    However, due to the king-level Snake Wood¡¯s presence, not many beasts dared to roam in this area.

    In the dark, a huge bird flew over Qin Feng in the air.

    It was a D-tier Pterodactyl. From afar, he could sense that it was a beast general.

    After all, even the weak Dragon Blood would help the opponent greatly on its growth.

    The Pterodactyl was merely passing by. However, it could smell a delicious scent. Therefore, it chose to lower its altitude while flying as if it were trying to hunt after a prey.

    Right then, the Snake Wood began to act.

    The vines swayed from side to side. Anyone who saw how it moved would tremble with fear.

    It was a horrifying scene.

    In the blink of an eye, the Pterodactyl had been trapped.

    ¡°Cluck!!!¡±

    As soon as the Pterodactyl cried out loudly during its struggle to free itself, its voice travelled for miles in the quiet night. Some smaller ultra beasts were frightened by its sound and ran far away.

    From afar, Qin Feng stood above a tall, unmutated tree. He frowned at the sight of this Pterodactyl being trapped by the Snake Wood. Within ten minutes, the Pterodactyl had likely be part of the nutritious fertilizer beneath the Snake Wood¡¯s roots.

    Since the Snake Wood covered arge area, coupled with the fact that its vines could extend out to hundreds of meters, it was nearly impossible to steal its seeds.

    Moreover, the seeds were fruit-like objects attached to its roots instead of the branches. These seeds were the size of quail eggs.

    Not only that, the fruits were attached to the roots with conscious energy and were impossible to remove with brute force.

    It would only be possible to remove the seeds once the Snake Wood was dead.

    Thereafter, the seeds could produce new Snake Woods.

    Also, there was the tear flower.

    As Qin Feng thought of this, he turned on themunicator to record the spatial waymark before sending it to Bai Li.

    Fortunately, themunicator could still be connected to the battle. Since Qin Feng could not contact Bai Li from the Western Hemisphere, he could only contact her in such a way.

    Very soon, a bright silver light appeared next to Qin Feng.

    A spatial passage had formed!

    Bai Li soon walked out from the bright light.

    ¡°Why did you summon me? Do you miss me?¡± Bai Li asked in a matter-of-fact manner.

    Qin Feng thought it was funny. After rubbing Bai Li¡¯s long, silky hair, he pulled her close and pecked her on the cheek.

    ¡°I miss you, Baby!¡± He said.

    Bai Li¡¯s face turned red instantly.

    ¡°Hey, we are under broad daylight. How can you do that?¡± Bai Li retorted.

    Qin Feng chuckled out loud.

    ¡°It¡¯s dark here!¡± He said.

    When Bai Li looked up at the sky, it was indeed dark.

    ¡°It¡¯s still inappropriate!¡± She said.

    ¡°Alright, alright. Whatever you say!¡± Qin Feng bantered with Bai Li for a while. Although they were only apart from each other for two days, they still enjoyed some yful bickering.

    ¡°Alright, stop messing around. I have something for you to do!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°What? Fight against that big fellow?¡±

    ¡°No!¡± Qin Feng shook his head. If it were the Snake Wood, Qin Feng would have done it himself long ago.

    ¡°Use spatial maniption to take the tear flower away!¡± He said.

    After Qin Feng pointed at the tear flower¡¯s location, Bai Li too noticed the huge flower. Although she did not know what it was used for, she was aware that Qin Feng had kept quite a number of them in the Battlegod Tomb.

    ¡°Easy!¡± She said.

    Bai Li channeled her conscious energy as she wiggled her finger.

    At that moment, the Tear Flower¡¯s location was surrounded by arge silver box.

 Chapter 384 - Another Tier Advancement

    <h4>Chapter 384: Another Tier Advancement</h4>

    Thereafter, a silver light shed by and turned everything pitch ck.

    In the blink of an eye, the spot where the tear flower once was had suddenly be empty. Arge hole appeared in the swamp before it was gradually filled up again.

    Qin Feng was stunned.

    ¡°Where did you take the tear flower?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s in the Battlegod Tomb. Don¡¯t you like this stuff? I¡¯ve seen a lot of them in the Battlegod Tomb recently. However, this is thergest one by far!¡±

    Qin Feng suddenly understood how Bai Li had always been able to get what she wanted from thousands of miles away so easily, regardless of whether it was now or in the past.

    Apart from travelling through space, spatial beasts were probably also good at stealing!

    Meanwhile, the Snake Wood had also noticed something odd happening around it. However, as a nt, it had a lot of power but very little intelligence.

    With the tear flower gone, the Snake Wood was not particrly affected. After shaking its vines a little, it returned to its original state of calmness.

    ¡°How ugly!¡± Bai Limented. She found it hard to even look at such creepy things.

    ¡°You can head back now. I¡¯ll take care of the rest!¡±

    ¡°Okay! I won¡¯t stay here with you because this ce stinks!¡±

    Due to the endless tears from the king-level tear flower, the entire region had be a swamp. On top of that, there were dposing bodies of creatures around. Therefore, the scent in the air was naturally foul.

    After channeling a space, Bai Li left.

    Now, Qin Feng was left to deal with the Snake Wood on his own.

    When he first saw the video, there was not any aura which indicated the Snake Wood¡¯s true abilities. On top of that, nts could always hide their powers. Qin Feng only found out about the Snake Wood¡¯s ability after seeing how it captured the beast general Pterodactyl.

    Clearly, this beast was a beast emperor!

    This was the second D-tier beast emperor Qin Feng had encountered.

    As for those like Yan Shuo, Qin Feng did not even consider him as a beast emperor.

    Meanwhile, this Snake Wood was aplete beast emperor.

    Right then, Qin Feng began to channel his conscious energy until it reached its limit.

    An emperor-level¡¯s conscious energy!

    Countless fire runes began to boil around Qin Feng¡¯s Mutant.

    Not only that, the mutant fire runes surrounded Qin Feng¡¯s body with a blue hue.

    Soon, arge peacock appeared in the sky.

    The peacock was twenty meters in length. With itsrge size, it could still move in an agile manner like the Blue me Peacock Emperor which once lived in the world.

    Moreover, this Blue me Peacock did not appear as weak as the old beast emperor. Instead, countless ming feathers emitted a bright blue light from its body.

    While Qin Feng continued to channel his conscious energy, the peacock became more condensed.

    In the next moment, the peacock had extended its wings and tail before it dived into the distance.

    Right then, wherever it flew by, blue mes would fall from the sky like a meteor shower.

    As the Blue me Peacock continued to move in circles, the mes gradually fell upon the Snake Wood and set therge mutated nt aze.

    ¡°Regardless of how terrifying a mutated nt is, it would still be afraid of fire. Meanwhile, nts like this are easy targets for humans because they can¡¯t move!¡±

    Even if mutated nts were powerful, most of them were not capable of moving. In its own area, it was the king!

    Therefore, most gunners who have arrived at the D-tier would target these mutated nts which did not contain poison.

    As long as the gunners had enough ammunition, they would be able to kill these beasts.

    However, it depended on the fact that nobody else was lying in wait to steal the rewards.

    Naturally, Qin Feng was not afraid of other beings. Due to his exposed conscious energy which contained an emperor¡¯s aura, most of the ultra beasts in the surrounding environment had already run off. They could sense that he was even more powerful than the Snake Wood.

    After the Blue me Peacock made a few spins in the air, it finally dove downward and knocked against the Snake Wood¡¯s trunk.

    Boom!

    A loud explosion could be heard as energy filled the air. The sky instantly became bright blue as mes rose upward.

    The Snake Wood was thoroughly set aze!

    The skill Qin Feng just used was only avable to the emperor-level.

    Due to the long time it took to channel the skill, Qin Feng rarely used it during battles.

    ¡°Let¡¯s try this one out!¡±

    Qin Feng channeled his conscious energy once more.

    Within a second, arge area of mes was formed in a hundred-meter radius. Gradually, the mes condensed into onerge ming dragon.

    It was the Fire Dragon Style skill!

    This was one of the three main fire abilities Qin Feng had acquired when he made it to the E-tier. As he collected more runes, itsbat power became stronger.

    In the beginning, Qin Feng could only channel a Fire Dragon which was around twenty meters in length. Now, the dragon of over a hundred-meter was breathtakingly huge.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    After a loud roar, the Fire Dragon charged at the Snake Wood and collided against it on its trunk.

    A dark green screen of light appeared. The Snake Wood was defending itself!

    Gradually, the blue mes were absorbed by the dark green screen of light. However, before the light screen could fully recover, the Fire Dragon had appeared once more.

    Boom!

    This time, the collision was even stronger than the earlier one.

    Asrge waves continued to spread around the tree, mes began burning the vines apart.

    Crack!

    The sound of tree branches being burned and, consequently, vines being snapped off into the swamp could be heard. However, the tree was no longer able to reproduce those branches.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng unceasingly conjured his fire abilities as the Snake Wood continued to defend itself. They were in a stalemate.

    For such a huge Snake Wood, Qin Feng might need to spend a lot of time to thoroughly burn it down.

    If it were a normal ability user, he or she may not even be able to conjure suchrge mes. Even if they could, they would not be able to use them at such a great distance.

    Where Qin Feng stood, it was certainly safe!

    After an entire night and part of the following morning had passed, the huge tree was finally burned to the ground.

    The tree trunk and its branches were now allpletely barren and burned like a huge piece of coal.

    The Snake Wood was dead!

    Qin Feng could feel his absorption skill being channeled intensely. After a while, arge amount of conscious energy flowed into his body from the huge piece of wood.

    In that instant, Qin Feng felt as if he had experienced countless years of learning. He was able to observe all the changes and tragedies of this world.

    His conscious energy had skyrocketed!

    D3-tier beast emperor¡¯s conscious energy!

    Qin Feng was surprised that the king-level mutated nt contained such strong conscious energy.

    However, he did not have the time to think about this right now.

    After an entire night, and now that it was close to dusk, Qin Feng realized he had not rested for over thirty hours.

    After taking a few steps forward, he soon arrived at where the Snake Wood was located.

    The swamp on the floor¡¯s surface hadpletely dried up from the heat. The Snake Wood¡¯s roots were now exposed. With the bright, smooth surface, it seemed like a snake with scales all over its body.

    It was terrifying!

    Meanwhile, some scattered dark green rocks beneath the roots were the Snake Wood¡¯s seeds.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng lifted his hand and proceeded to absorb all the Snake Wood¡¯s seeds.

    However, suddenly, a shocking aura appeared from afar.

 Chapter 385 - Massacre

    <h4>Chapter 385: Massacre</h4>

    Many aptitude users were charging toward Qin Feng.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s facial expression did not change as he continued to gather his conscious energy.

    The Snake Wood¡¯s roots only extended to a region of a hundred meters. However, there were easily over a hundred seeds in this region.

    Through Qin Feng¡¯s maniption of conscious energy, each seed hovered in the air and quickly gathered in front of Qin Feng. Soon after, all seeds disappeared.

    Meanwhile, the ability users nearby had surrounded Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng looked calmly at these people

    Snake Wood¡¯s discovery was not exactly a secret. After all, although the Neil Forest was a veryrge region, it had been explored over the years and the only object which had not changed was this one.

    Moreover, Qin Feng did not exactly end the battle hastily. Since the Snake Wood was very powerful, and Qin Feng did not get very close to it, the duration of battle was longer than usual.

    It was long enough that other people were able to make it there in time.

    The first group of people, which consisted of ten people, had arrived by noon.

    Later, more and more people arrived. By now, there were at least fifty D-tier aptitude users.

    Indeed, it was arge number.

    Moreover, most of these D-tier aptitude users came in groups.

    Based on Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy, it was impossible for him not to have discovered their presence. This was despite the fact these people believed that they had kept themselves hidden and even hidden their conscious energy signal.

    The fifty people who suddenly appeared were shocked by each other¡¯s presence as they began to examine the other groups.

    Clearly, these people from Dawn Town and Neil Forest knew each other.

    ¡°ck Bear, I can¡¯t believe you guys are here too!¡± Someone eximed.

    ¡°Ah, Baroq. You are like a dog who won¡¯t stop following us!¡± Another person shouted.

    ¡°This yellow monkey belongs to me. Whoever fights me for him will die here!¡± Someone added.

    However, right then, some of the people who wanted to fight for the Snake Wood¡¯s seeds gradually backed away.

    ¡°Damn it, why are we so unlucky? These are people from the Dark Coalition, including the ck Bear¡¯s mercenary group, the Death Scythe Group, and the Necromancers!¡± Someone said.

    ¡°Let¡¯s leave,¡± someone said.

    These people came in groups of two or three and were much weakerpared to the three other strong forces.

    In fact, they also belonged to the Human Alliance. They were only here to get additional benefits with no intentions of killing Qin Feng.

    Right then, Qin Feng appeared very calm.

    The three groups of people were staring each other down and clearly already treated Qin Feng as a sitting duck.

    Qin Feng began smiling coldly as he released a killing intention.

    ¡°I¡¯ll give you three seconds. If you don¡¯t back away, you¡¯ll bear the consequences!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s voice was loud and clear with the use of his internal force.

    ¡°Three!¡± Qin Feng said.

    The three groups of people were all stunned as they turned to look at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Two!¡± Qin Feng said again.

    By then, all three groups of people from the Dark Coalition had be angry.

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    Before Qin Feng could speak, the battle had already begun.

    After Qin Feng had stayed in a battle for an entire day, the others believed that Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy would have been close to depletion.

    Besides, having strong ability powers did not mean having great strength. Even if he could have both these qualities, they did not believe they were incapable of taking Qin Feng down.

    As such, these people eagerly began attacking Qin Feng once themand was issued.

    The first person to kill Qin Feng would be able to im his corpse and spatial rune equipment!

    It was normal for people to fight over such earthly possessions for the sake of survival!

    A physical user immediately inted his body and leapt into the air like a moving tank as he charged toward Qin Feng.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s facial expression did not change.

    It was as if fighting for an entire night had not bothered Qin Feng at all. The amount of conscious energy Qin Feng received from the dead nt was enough to replenish his energy fully for the entire day he spent in battle.

    As for not having rested for thirty hours, one should note that Qin Feng was not a normal ability user. He had an ancient warrior¡¯s body which was far more resilient than normal physical users.

    Without hesitation, Qin Feng drew out his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng struck his opponents with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    A de of me expanding over ten meters tore these groups of people apart.

    ¡°Spurt!¡±

    The first person to charge toward Qin Feng was instantly cut into half.

    The people behind him were sent flying.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng dived into the groups of people and began killing them with all his might.

    ¡°Vine of Thorns!¡±

    A Wood ability user suddenly summoned his wood runes to attack Qin Feng.

    ¡°Are you dumb? Have you forgotten that I am a Fire ability user? How dare you?¡± Qin Feng snorted sarcastically. However, he did not stop attacking.

    ¡°Get lost!¡±

    A ming halo appeared around Qin Feng¡¯s body which instantly burned the green vines away. After turning into soft-glowing green light, the vines were engulfed by Qin Feng¡¯s fire runes.

    Not only was Qin Feng agile in his movement, he was also very daring.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber instantly cut one of the men¡¯s heads off.

    ¡°Phantom Motion Steps!¡±

    At that moment, Qin Feng turned into a shadow along with his Verdant Emperor Saber. Strips of blue ribbons appeared. Anyone touched by these ribbons were instantly torn apart.

    Qin Feng was too powerful!

    In the blink of an eye, eight corpsesy dead on the ground.

    The wounds on these corpses had turned ck. However, very soon, blood began spurting out from the wounds.

    The dried ground turned moist once again after the blood had seeped in.

    Everybody was in a state of fear.

    Now, they began to hesitate when attacking Qin Feng. Clearly, they were pondering if they wanted to continue fighting against this demon.

    However, Qin Feng did not wait for them to retreat as he began to attack them ferociously.

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    Suddenly, the entirend within a hundred-meter radius had turned into magma.

    ¡°Ahh!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a magma skill. This is magma. Run!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to die!¡±

    With such arge area of effect, the physical users had no choice but to run away. Although some of their shoes began to melt away quickly, others activated their runes to protect their feet.

    However, Qin Feng was not going to let them escape just because they wanted to.

    In the next moment, Qin Feng took out his dposing ster. This was a high-grade dposing ster he had acquired some time ago.

    ¡°Zap, zap, zap!¡±

    Beams of light were fired at the escaping aptitude users. They were all brought to the ground.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Suddenly, Qin Feng travelled across the hundred-meter distance at the speed of lightning.

    He continued to kill these people with the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hands.

    Although over thirty of them were all terrifyingly powerful D-tier aptitude users, none of them could fight against Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng had an absolute advantage in terms of speed, strength, and abilities.

    Within half an hour, all of these D-tier ability users had been killed by Qin Feng!

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his conscious energy to collect their spatial rune equipment. Gradually, the Hell Magma was also reabsorbed. Thend which remained had turned dark from being roasted.

    Thereafter, Qin Feng shed the Snake Wood with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

 Chapter 386 - Returning to Shadong Town

    <h4>Chapter 386: Returning to Shadong Town</h4>

    Without energy remaining and after being burned into ck coal, the dead Snake Wood immediately broke apart.

    A crystal object appeared from within.

    This crystal object was oval-shaped and half a meter in length. Its widest section was close to thirty centimeters in diameter. Half-transparent, it looked like arge gemstone.

    This was the Snake Wood¡¯s tree core.

    Its value wasparable to that of a beast emperor¡¯s crystal core.

    Among all mutated nts, this was the most precious item.

    Qin Feng proceeded to store the item in his spatial rune equipment.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng kept the remaining fifty spatial beast leather bags in abat backpack.

    When he did so, the Dawn Town citizens who had backed away immediately felt envious. They wished these objects belonged to them!

    However, despite such thoughts, none of them dared to take one step closer.

    Had Qin Feng not killed enough people already?

    Those people he killed were all infamous Dark Coalition groups who normally robbed aptitude users around Neil Forest. Whoever had bumped into them could only consider themselves unlucky.

    However, now, Qin Feng killed all of them.

    ¡°These are not the aptitude users I know. From what I saw, they are like primary school students who had just entered the academy.¡±

    ¡°Oh God, they couldn¡¯t even fight back!¡±

    ¡°Who is this person?¡±

    None of the surviving individuals knew about Qin Feng¡¯s identity.

    However, they might never find out in the future!

    Qin Feng was only here to look for the tear flower. Now that he had everything he needed, and had even surprisingly obtained a beast emperor mutated nt, he would naturally not linger around.

    Since time immemorial, people who sumbed to their own greed would end up in a horrible state.

    After a night¡¯s rushed journey, Qin Feng made it back to Dawn Town.

    Coincidentally, he passed by the gathering grounds and saw arge field of tear flowers.

    Without giving it a second thought, he activated his dark runes and shrouded the entire field of tear flowers.

    The guards patrolling on the guard tower did not notice anything odd at all.

    Hence, Qin Feng decided to harvest all the tear flowers without them knowing.

    Of course, he left Dawn Town several thousand saplings behind.

    Thereafter, Qin Feng sneaked into Dawn Town and very quickly located Kaelin.

    Right then, Kaelin was still fast asleep in the giant C-tier nt.

    Qin Feng used his dark runes to shroud himself and sessfully sneaked into the room.

    He then ced a Snake Wood seed on the cab next to Kaelin¡¯s bed, as well as five cubic meters of power credits. After surrounding them with conscious energy, he ced them next to Kaelin¡¯s bed without making a sound.

    After it was all done, Qin Feng activated his Battlegod Token directly without even stepping out of the room.

    Right then, Kaelin seemed to have sensed something odd around him despite being fast asleep. After all, a D-tier aptitude user¡¯s senses were not all that bad.

    It was only because Qin Fend had intentionally hidden his presence earlier.

    Suddenly waking from his sleep, Kaelin could see a dim light in the dark bedroom. Thereafter, he was nearly blinded by what he saw.

    Power credits!

    Five cubic meters of power credits which amounted to 50 billion!

    ¡°What the heck happened? Is God raining down money now?¡±

    However, Kaelin was drawn to the aura of another object. After all, aptitude users were very sensitive to objects which emanated energy.

    When he turned his head around, he immediately saw the Snake Wood seed.

    At that moment, Kaelin became wide awake.

    He directly turned on hismunicator to check the ntation site¡¯s surveince footage after unlocking the permission to do so.

    Kaelin seemed horrified by the sight of the empty ntation site.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you did this!¡±

    ***

    Right then, Qin Feng naturally did not know how upset Kaelin was. Since he had already made his payment and gotten the stuff he wanted to buy, Qin Feng was very satisfied.

    To be honest, Qin Feng did this as a form of preventative strategy.

    Knowing how greedy people were, Qin Feng was worried that Dawn Town¡¯s C-tier aptitude users mighte after him once they realized that he had obtained the seed of a beast emperor mutated nt as well as the tree core.

    Although Qin Feng was not exactly afraid of such opponents, he might not have been able to aplish this tear flower deal.

    Therefore, Qin Feng decided to strike the deal on his own to make things easier.

    As for the money involved, Qin Feng had always kept to his promises. For someone like him who had once achieved A-tier, 50 billion was not a significant amount of money to him.

    Qin Feng would not vite his own principles for such a small amount of money.

    After returning to the Battlegod Tomb with the Battlegod Token, Qin Feng activated another spatial passage.

    Since the Battlegod Tomb was a secret territory, and was part of the special space, Qin Feng could return to any ce he visited in the past as long as the spatial waymark had been recorded.

    Of course, the only fixed spatial passage Qin Feng had activated now was the one to Fengli Colony.

    After all, the most advanced talents produced by the Battlegod Tomb would only be at the E-tier. Even in Shadong Town, activating the spatial passage was not necessary.

    The aptitude users in Shadong Town would usually only be at the D-tier.

    Although Qin Feng had only been away from Shadong Town for three to four days, a lot had changed in the town.

    Where Qin Feng appeared, it was a location above a small hill in Shadong Town. Since there was nobody else around, Qin Feng released the Sky Dweller to take him back to Shadong Town.

    However, as soon as he took to the air in Shadong Town, the Sky Dweller¡¯s searching radar began beeping wildly.

    ¡°Beep, beep, beep! Please be informed that a D3-tier beast general is 1100 meters away from your current position!¡±

    ¡°Beep, beep, beep!...¡±

    The frontlines were always the busiest spots during war.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng continued to steer the Sky Dweller forward in the sky.

    From afar, he could see a group of creatures approaching Shadong Town.

    It was a group of Desert Wolves!

    Right then, the watch tower in the front had already begun shooting out mes.

    Bam, bam, bam!

    Boom! Boom!

    The normal members of the Desert Wolves were at the D-tier and E-tier. However, the mes were clearly not enough to hold them back.

    In fact, the beast general Desert Wolves, which were five-meters long and three-meters tall, were even more unbelievably powerful.

    The mes would only slow these beings down.

    Zap, zap!

    The Sky Dweller emitted two energy beams to eliminate two creatures which had gotten close to a defensive tower.

    Very soon, severalbat nes flew out from Shadong Town.

    Naturally, the pilots in thebat nes noticed the Sky Dweller in the air.

    ¡°Eh? Has General Qin returned?¡±

    Suddenly, everyone felt motivated.

    However, Qin Feng did not get out of his ne. Instead, he casually fired at the ultra beasts which had crossed the line on the battlefield.

    The others realized what Qin Feng wanted to do after pondering for a moment.

    ¡°Could General Qin be testing out our currentbat power?¡±

    ¡°I wonder if we are toote in arriving at the scene!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. Stop talking!¡±

    One could say that Shadong Town¡¯s D-tier aptitude users had experienced a significant change in their attitude ever since Qin Feng became the general.

    In the past, although Hu Liang was also capable, he did not have a strong enough presence. Most D-tier aptitude users would do their best to extract benefits from the Human Alliance without contributing too much. After all, why should they risk their lives for Hu Liang?

    However, now that Qin Feng had be Shadong Town¡¯s chief general, and was promoted as the Human Alliance¡¯s D-tier general, there were naturally many benefits for the army.

    At least, Qin Feng was a very capable individual.

 Chapter 387 - Transfiguration of the North Sea Desert

    <h4>Chapter 387: Transfiguration of the North Sea Desert</h4>

    What does it mean by having a powerful leader?

    When the leader is so powerful that killing a beast is just as effortless as chopping onion, his/her underlings would no longer need to put their lives on the line all the time.

    Hu Liang was no doubt a powerful fighter. However, there was still a limit to his capability and he was often reluctant to get involved in a battle.

    For the past three days, aptitude users from Shadong Town got to witness the next level prowess.

    Before the chopper declined, ady had jumped out of it first and descended graciously. The silver whip in her hand slid freely in the air as shended at the frontline in the blink of an eye.

    Sheshed out the whip and her front was soon engulfed by a band of silver radiance, which contorted the entire space-time covered by it. When the blinding radiance vanished, those ferocious D-tier desert wolves of beast general rank had been sliced into pieces by Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability.

    Bai Li did not stop there and continued to attack rampantly. None of the desert wolves was able to survive Bai Li¡¯s merciless assault.

    Naturally, Bai Li regarded Shadong Town as her turf when she decided to protect this ce.

    Though she had not unleashed her fearsome aura as a beast emperor, she did leave some of her furs around the perimeter of the town.

    To her surprise, there were still some mindless beasts that dared to disturb her colony.

    Bai Li annihted every single one of them without hesitation.

    She had been following Qin Feng¡¯s footsteps all this while so Bai Li did what Qin Feng would usually do.

    She learned from Qin Feng that there was no room for sympathy when ites to killing ultra beasts.

    Thus, Bai Li¡¯s performance at the frontline was spectacr. Not only that but her action also encouraged the others to be more aggressive. After all, they would not be rewarded if Bai Li was going to kill off all the desert wolves.

    The positive energy disyed by the aptitude users from Shadong Town surprised Qin Feng a little.

    The battle ended within an hour. Qin Feng¡¯s Sky Dwellernded when the dust of the warzone settled.

    ¡°General Qin!¡±

    ¡°General Qin is back!¡±

    ¡°General Qin!¡±

    All the warriors approached and saluted Qin Feng.

    ¡°It¡¯s been a hectic battle for everyone. Leave a troop behind to keep watch and others can get back to have a good rest!¡±

    ¡°Roger!¡±

    ¡°Goodbye, Sir!¡±

    Bai Li walked to him. They had just met a day before so Bai Li was not looking curiously at Qin Feng like others, who wished to learn where Qin Feng had disappeared to all these times.

    Qin Feng returned to the colony in the Sky Dweller and summoned Xue Xingfu immediately once he alighted the chopper.

    Xue Xingfu was fully upied recently but he did hear about the urrence of the tear flower inside the Battlegod Tomb. He reckoned that must be the reason Qin Feng was gone.

    ¡°Mayor, I think it¡¯s about time you enlighten me,¡± Xue Xingfu said.

    ¡°These flowers here are known as tear flowers,¡± Qin Feng briefly exined the function of tear flowers and more importantly, its market value.

    ¡°5000 grand?¡± Xue Xingfu rounded his eyes as he was baffled by its value.

    ¡°Yes. So it¡¯s best not to let others know about its true value, since that might attract unwanted attention. This thing might dictate the development of Shadong Town in the future. Have someone vignt guard the flowers.¡±

    ¡°What if they are not being well taken care of? It¡¯s 5000 grand per nt, not 50 cents. I made a quick calction and figured you have just recklessly invested 50 billion in Shadong Town. When only would you be able to reap the dividend from this forsaken town?¡±

    Xue Xingfu knew Qin Feng was filthy rich now and would never be short of wealth judging by how strong he was. But as a businessman, it was rooted in his mind that one should never throw money into a business that was bound to lose.

    It pained him to see the money to go in vain.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Shadong Town willpletely transfigure once the tear flowers have been nted there.¡±

    Xue Xingfu could only nod after seeing Qin Feng¡¯s insistence.

    ¡°Alright then. I will do as you say.¡±

    ***

    The one hundred thousand pots of tear flowers were nted around Shadong Town under Xue Xingfu¡¯s order.

    Shadong Town did not have any ntation plot so the flowers were just being distributed randomly across the town.

    Shadong Town has plenty of sunshine and the long day greatly stimted the flowers¡¯ growth. The resilient tear flowers continuously secreted teardrop which gradually dampened the surrounding desertnd.

    Though thend around Shadong Town did not undergo desertification, there was hardly any vegetation seen around the ce due to the constant sandstorm. However, after nting tear flowers, greeneries began to emerge around the flowers.

    That was certainly a giant leap.

    The secretion from the flower did not only repel wild beasts but also promoted the growth of other nts. Better still, it could even cultivate mutated nts.

    Xue Xingfu was truly impressed by Qin Feng.

    Nheless, all the new nts were being mowed and reced with crops. This was to prevent the growth of undesirable mutated nts.

    Qin Feng even had those wood, water, and light-type medics brought over by Gao Yukang take care of the nts. These people knew nothing about the true value of the tear flower and did not understand the point of spending time on nursing the nts.

    However, none of them dared to disobey Qin Feng¡¯s order.

    Hence, these tear flowers developed vibrantly.

    Qin Feng then transnted the king-tier mutated tear flowers deep into the desert, a location distant to Shadong Town.

    That was where monsters that attacked Shadong Town most frequently came from.

    Under the bright sunlight, the eyes on the giant king-tier flower blinked rapidly. Tears flowed down abundantly from the flower into a small stream.

    The secreted tears released a strong pungent odor.

    It might not be pleasing to the human nose but it was very attractive toward the beasts.

    Qin Feng drew the Verdant Emperor Saber and removed one of the flower petals.

    The flower quivered in response and emitted lesser tears.

    Qin Feng shed his saber again and again. After the fifth cut, the tears flowing out from the flower turned from pungent into a refreshing aroma.

    Those beasts attracted by the earlier odor and pacing at the far side fled once the smell of the tears turned.

    Qin Feng nodded satisfyingly and withdrew the saber. The tear flowers knew they had lost the protection from the Snake Wood and could not do anything besides repelling beasts ording to Qin Feng¡¯s will.

    Unknowingly, Shadong Town became more peaceful by the day. Small scale disturbance disappeared altogether whilerge scale threats were continuously being fended off by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s ambition was not only to protect Shadong Town but to use this deserted town as the starting point of his blueprint. He nned to take over the entire North Sea Desert and make it his territory.

    To sustain development was harder than to initiate one. Though Shadong Town could turn into an important food supply hub in the future, it would also be a target that everyone salivated on.

    That was when Qin Feng¡¯s supremacy woulde into the picture. He would be needed to fend off the greedy parties.

    Inside the Battlegod¡¯s Tomb, Qin Feng meditated while absorbing the Snake Wood¡¯s nt core.

    nt cores were technically a type of spirit. It could be directly absorbed by a user and its effect even surpassed that of an energy core.

    Simply put, the nt core of the beast-emperor tier was extremely beneficial.

    Qin Feng could feel that his body strength and consciousness were being enhanced considerably.

 Chapter 388 - D4-Tier

    <h4>Chapter 388: D4-Tier</h4>

    After undergoing the recent battle and the absorption of the nt core, Qin Feng¡¯s power had finally leaped onto the next level.

    He had now reached D4-tier emperor-level physicality and consciousness.

    Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength evolved yet again in less than half-a-month since thest time he fought Yan Shuo.

    He had now stayed in Shadong Town for three months. A lot had changed during this period.

    Specifically, Shadong Town was no longer the shaky deserted town at the frontline.

    Ever since Qin Feng brought back the tear flowers, Shadong Town had not experienced beast assaults for a very long time.

    On the map, the safety score of Shadong Town had increased substantially due to the decrease in the battle count.

    D-tier aptitude users from Shadong Town were no longer tasked to stay put and defend the town. Slowly, they began to take the initiative and went out to hunt.

    Eventually, the number of beasts around the North Sea Desert also went down drastically.

    Aptitude users had no idea what caused the change but they knew that Qin Feng must be the one behind all these.

    ¡°When I first arrived, I killed the Sand Lizardfolk Queen. She possessed the spatial ability and had a Spatial Whip. Though it¡¯s a small poption, these Lizardfolk often summon powerful beasts!¡±

    ¡°After that, I killed another nine beast kings scattered around the North Sea Desert!¡±

    ¡°The resurgence of Shadong Town also owes a lot to the tear flowers¡¯ effect.¡±

    ¡°Till this moment, our D-tier users are still busy hunting out there. The overall danger level of the North Sea Desert hase down to a desirable level, thus the increase in safety score. Of course, it¡¯s our best interest that the outsiders are not informed about this.¡±

    Qin Feng narrated while eyeing the marks on the virtual map. The drones scouted the desert and feedback live updates to the map, showing that the monster numbers and activity zone had shrunk sharply thanks to the continuous efforts from the D-tier aptitude users.

    ¡°Mayor, this is insane. You really n to turn the North Sea Desert into your ntation territory?¡±

    Xue Xingfu was Qin Feng¡¯s confidant. Qin Feng hid nothing from his right-hand man as he needed Xue Xingfu to help aplish his vision.

    Xue Xingfu was actually amazed after he listened to Qin Feng¡¯s seemingly insane n. Only time would tell whether he was following a genius or a lunatic.

    ¡°By the way, Han Nuan ryed a message to me regarding the alliance between the ancient warrior families.¡±

    Qin Feng sneered.

    ¡®Now only they care to make peace and talk about the alliance? Isn¡¯t it a little toote?¡¯

    ¡°Tell them I demand 50% share. Take it or leave it.¡±

    Qin Feng could not care less about the money. All he wanted was to irritate those scums. He had seen through their real thoughts. Especially during his fight with Yan Shuo. Qin Feng knew well that both the Hou and Tieh families wished to see him dead in that battle.

    They blew their chance then and now Qin Feng of course had the right to mark up the demand.

    ¡°Are you sure you want to make that kind of offer? Don¡¯t forget, these families have C-tier chiefs backing them.¡±

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°Then have their chiefse after me. I can¡¯t wait to see whether they are going to dere war against us for some petty business.¡±

    Naturally, they would not.

    Subsequent negotiations went smoothly, which was beyond Xue Xingfu¡¯s imagination. He found it hard to believe when the other side agreed to meet Qin Feng¡¯s exorbitant request with little objection.

    Xue Xingfu had not gone to Shadong Town, thus he had no idea how profound Qin Feng¡¯s influence was around this region.

    ***

    May was no different than a drought season in past years for Shadong Town. But this year, this town was covered in green for the first time.

    Such scenery made Shadong Town an oasis in the middle of the vast desert.

    These changes took ce in less than a month, which made the transformation even more incredible.

    The overturn of fate had startled Gao Yukang. He was currently video calling with Qin Feng through themunicator.

    ¡°Little brat, so this is your n all along. Speaking of which, where did you find such a unique nt? This thing probably could help us turn more dangerous territories into safe colonies!¡± Gao Yukang¡¯s purpose of calling Qin Feng was to ask about the tear flowers.

    ¡°Forgive me as I needed to keep this a secret. If anyone needs them, I am more than willing to sell to them. But it would note cheap, and only will be avable after I have sessfully bred more.¡± Qin Feng said.

    In the western hemisphere, the tear flower was not being promoted because the poption there was sparse. There was not a need for more colonies so the residents there have never thought about expanding.

    However, things werepletely different in the eastern hemisphere, where Qin Feng came from. The poption here had long reached saturation.

    ¡°I have no interest in making links for you. Don¡¯t try to get me involved in your goddamn business.¡±

    ¡°My bad, Governor Gao.¡±

    Gao Yukang justughed it off as he was not the type that would get offended by such matters.

    ¡°The main purpose I made this call is to ask whether you are interested ining to the Longchuan battlefield. Seeing that Shadong Town¡¯s danger level has gone down considerably, I could foresee that North Sea Desert would soon turn into a safe colony. At that time, it will be a waste of your talent to stay in Shadong Town.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes flickered with excitement.

    Longchuan battlefield?

    That was exactly where Qin Feng wanted to go next.

    Worried that Qin Feng might have his concerns, Gao Yukang reassured him, ¡°Of course, you will still be the de facto general of Shadong Town. I can even have Gao Qin step down and give you his mayor seat. There¡¯s nothing left there for Gao Qin to scoop anyway if the North Sea is no longer a warzone.¡±

    inly speaking, Gao Qin would have plenty of opportunities as long as Gao Yukang was still alive and backing him.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that.¡± Qin Feng rejected the offer. He recalled his past life memory, then said, ¡°Longchuan sounds great. It¡¯s one of the battlefields I wish to attempt one day.¡±

    ¡°Haha! Great! I will wait for your good news!¡±

    Gao Yukang was very powerful but he rose through the ranks too quickly. That left him with little acquaintances in the troop and he definitely needed help from someone like Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not n to work under Gao Yukang.

    In his memory, there was a cmity that befell Longchuan around this time.

    The incidence wiped out eighteen small colonies and two big cities around Longchuan. The end result was devastating, even to this apocalyptic world.

    In the end, the threat was finally neutralized by A-tier aptitude users.

    Even Gao Yukang was killed in that battle.

    As a governor, the news on his passing reached every corner of the North Sea and it eventually reached Qin Feng¡¯s ears.

    To others, this might be a huge risk. But Qin Feng had always turned the greatest risks into the best opportunities.

    ***

    The next day, ny three D-tier aptitude users gathered inside the conference hall, Shadong Town¡¯s highest building.

    Qin Feng sat in the front with Bai Li and others by his side.

    All the users looked at Qin Feng with great admiration.

    At the same time, they knew the meeting was called for a specific purpose and waited anxiously.

    ¡°The safety level of Shadong Town is increasing as we speak. Defending and hunting are two entirely different things.¡±

    ¡°Maybe in another half-year time, the North Sea Desert is going to changepletely too!¡±

 Chapter 389 - The Establishment of Mercenary

    <h4>Chapter 389: The Establishment of Mercenary</h4>

    ¡°The Human Alliance has issued the order to disengage the danger alert of Shadong Town. Your duty here has been relieved. You will also no longer enjoy special treatment from this point onward!¡±

    Qin Feng spoke sternly and red at those under him.

    The D-tier aptitude users inside the room were prepared for it but still could not help but buzz.

    ¡°General, there are still a lot of beast herds yet to be cleansed around the desert. To lift the alert after only a month is too rash!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. If we leave just like that, what will happen to Shadong Town, or even the four main cities if those bastards out there suddenly trigger a monster wave?¡±

    ¡°How about us? Are we allowed to leave?¡± One of the aptitude users that his body altered by the Z Organization suddenly spoke up. His question brought the hall into pin-drop silence.

    Among these D-tiers, only twenty of them had not been injected with the gic drug, while there were also ten normal aptitude users deployed by Gao Yukang.

    The remaining more than sixty aptitude users were all mutants. Gao Yukang intended to absorb them into his troop when he asked Qin Feng to help him out at Longchuan.

    On the other hand, the Human Alliance still had their reserve regarding these mutants. On paper, the alliances had employed medics to observe their development while helping them to recover from the induced mutation. Though they had not exhibited any adverse change during this period, their existence was still a problem the alliance wished to be rid of.

    Qin Feng exined, ¡°I am more than pleased if anyone of you is willing to stay put and fight for Shadong Town. I will also distribute shares of Shadong Town to those who stay ordingly. Besides, I will also be going to Longchuan soon. So, anyone who wishes to take another step further can go with me.¡±

    Everyone was stunned by what Qin Feng had just dered.

    One person from the crowd hesitated and asked, ¡°General, do you mean we will be coborating with you, or...?¡±

    Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Feng knew what he was trying to ask.

    ¡°I will be constructing a mercenary troop for the time being, which I wish to develop into an organization in the future. I will be the sole leader of this mercenary. Anyone who wishes to join can tell me directly now. Those who want to stay in Shadong Town will also be automatically enlisted under the mercenary. I will be the one paying your sry.¡±

    As such, the others confirmed Qin Feng¡¯s intention. He did not mean to work with them as equals but Qin Feng was recruiting them as his underlings.

    That did not usually happen between people from the same tier.

    In the past, Yan Fang which was at D8-tier had also created the Freemen Alliance to recruit subordinates. In the end, he only managed to persuade five people to follow him.

    At present, other than the ten subordinates under Gao Yukang, how many from the ny would be willing to work under Qin Feng?

    The key point here was that Qin Feng was only a D4-tier user.

    They would rather choose Gao Yukang, a C-tier governor, over Qin Feng.

    But at the same time, they also understood that joining Qin Feng now was not the same as joining him after he had be established. They would be more appreciated if they fight alongside Qin Feng from the very beginning.

    Xue Xingfu, who was in charge of Shadong Town¡¯s finance, was the best example. They learned that Xue Xingfu started off as an F-tier troop leader. Now, not only had he be stronger but he was also given substantial power by Qin Feng.

    ¡°General, I am willing to join your mercenary!¡± Surprisingly, Gao Li, who questioned Qin Feng earlier, was the first to express his loyalty.

    ¡°General, me too!¡± Chen Xiang stood up and did the same.

    These two were considered close to Qin Feng.

    The aptitude users around them regretted not being the first to speak up and joined in session. In the end, thirty attendees took Qin Feng¡¯s offer in the meeting.

    Qin Feng was only a D4 tier and not even the highest rank in the room.

    However, his capability and leadership were undeniable.

    Perhaps, he had a brighter future than Gao Yukang since he was only a seventeen-year-old teenager. His growth potential was seemingly infinite.

    ¡°Alright, I will confirm the countter. Meeting adjourned.¡± This was probably thest official D-tier meeting in Shadong Town.

    After this, most aptitude users in Shadong Town would be relocated. Even those from Wanzhong would most probably withdraw from the town.

    However, the second underground market was already brewing in Shadong Town.

    After the meeting, Qin Feng headed to the aptitude certification hall.

    Every staff in the hall recognized Qin Feng but they did not expect him to be there. Was he here to spot check them?

    ¡°General Qin!¡±

    ¡°General Qin is here!¡±

    ¡°Good morning General!¡±

    The staff saluted Qin Feng.

    ¡°Get back to your position. I am here to form a mercenary troop,¡± Qin Feng directed thetter words to one of the staff.

    The person was first stunned, then excited by the news.

    ¡®Qin Feng is going to form his own mercenary here!¡¯ She believed this troop was going to make a name for itself real soon under Qin Feng¡¯s guidance.

    She wondered what might be the prerequisite set by Qin Feng to join the mercenary.

    ¡°General, what name should the troop be registered under?¡±

    ¡°Fengli Mercenary Troop!¡±

    ¡°Okay, that name is still avable. I will process your application now!¡±

    A few minutester, Qin Feng¡¯s mercenary was officially registered into the Human Alliance database. It wasmon for these parties to mushroom every year, but the number of mercenaries being disbanded every year was equally high too. However, Fengli Mercenary was destined to be a powerful troop. This was because the group already had forty D-tier aptitude users at the time of registration. This was almost on par with an organizationprising a C-tier and ten D-tier aptitude users.

    Hypothetically, it was entirely doable if Qin Feng wished to upgrade his troop into an organization now.

    But Qin Feng did not do so. An organization needed physical assets. Qin Feng¡¯s assets would be food supply, which was yet to be established.

    Food was probably the most expensivemodity in this apocalyptic world.

    Other than the D-tier aptitude users from Shadong, Xue Xingfu, Han Nuan, Zhou Hao, as well as the entire management team of Fengli colony were also included in the registration list. The current number of members in the troop was around sixty persons.

    Among them, there was a huge portion that had undergone mutation. Though they had rehabilitated considerably, they realized they were no longer the same man after one month.

    Suddenly, they had lost the ability to evolve.

    They could still generate and store inner power but their physique could no longer develop. Because their body had been utterly deranged by the mutation.

    These people panicked when they learned that Shadong was going to be shut off from them, but Qin Feng emerged as their ultimate savior.

    Even if they could no longer break through their current height, their future would not be too bad if their chief was Qin Feng.

    That was the reason Qin Feng¡¯s mercenary managed to assemble these many D-tier aptitude users the first day it was established.

    This was the best-case scenario Yan Fang was dreaming of back then.

    Unfortunately, this had materialized in the hands of another person. Qin Feng got thestugh eventually.

    After he was done with the mercenary application, Qin Feng packed his things and was ready to move to Longchuan.

 Chapter 390 - Cooperation With Gao Yukang

    <h4>Chapter 390: Cooperation With Gao Yukang</h4>

    The Long Chuan battlefield was apletely different environment from the North Sea Desert, and under strict scrutiny, it was almost the same as Neil Forest.

    It was a high-risk area that was connected with countless numbers of mountains around, and the establishment of colonies around had forced an extrayer of protection to be formed. However, only small-sized viges were formed instead of towns.

    Perhaps, it should be recognized as strongholds, and there were already nine of them that had surrounded the Long Chuan battlefield.

    Qin Feng had brought along more than forty D-tiers with him, separated into twobat aircrafts, and they had arrived at the massive and bustling city, the Long Chuan City!

    In terms of its geographical location, the Long Chuan City was located at the west of the Four Cities of the North Sea, where the Long Chuan battlefield was also located, and all three locations were on the same longitude.

    Among the crowd that had arrived, there were also others that were not part of the Fengli Mercenary.

    Lu Wanbao!

    Due to the transformation of Shadong Town, Lu Wanbao was deeply worried that the town might not be prosperous again, and the underground market might also dominate the businesses, therefore, he made a decision to return to Long Chuan.

    Under the influential presence of Wan Zong, Lu Wanbao had takenplete charge of it and began to help make arrangements for Qin Feng.

    Thebat aircrafts did not enter the city and descended onto anding pad outside of Long Chuan City, Qin Feng kept his Sky Dweller, while another escortbat aircraft sent by the Zhongcheng Organization immediately returned.

    ¡°Manager Lu, wee to Long Chuan!¡±

    An E-tier aptitude user noticed that Lu Wanbao wasing down from the aircraft and instantly weed him!

    Lu Wanbao nodded and asked, ¡°Is the motorcade ready? Let¡¯s all get in!¡±

    The E-tier aptitude user remained smiling, while he wondered to himself, why would there be so many D-tiers?

    However, Long Chuan had nevercked powerful figures, and it was even frequently visited by C-tiers, hence, it would not be shocking if minds were kept open,bined with a broadened view.

    ¡°Mr Qin, I am open to any opportunities in the future, please remember to count me in!¡±

    ¡°Manager Lu, you are being too humble, when the momentes, I might still need you to ess other great things!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, you are always wee, anything will do!¡±

    Both of them shared and enjoyed a conversation on the vehicle.

    As they had travelled on the hover copter for quite some time, Lu Wanbao had arranged for Qin Feng¡¯s stay at a high-end hotel. It was impossible to have such a glorious and grand architecture in the previous city!

    The others had settled down to rest, however, Qin Feng still had to take care of something else.

    Qin Feng was contacting Gao Yukang on hismunicator.

    ¡°Mayor Gao, I have arrived at Long Chuan!¡±

    Gao Yukang seemed to be delighted and replied, ¡°Let¡¯s meet up, we will have to talk about our cooperation!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Qin Feng had partnered up with Gao Yukang, and it was unlike his previous n to recruit Chen Xiang and the others under him.

    Qin Feng brought Bai Li along and went out to meet with Gao Yukang.

    Gao Yukang had specially arranged the meet up at The First Peak, a top-tier restaurant in Long Chuan City, it had eighty eight floors in total and was the tallest building in the city.

    Though they were at the sixty-sixth floor, it was still a perfect ce to capture the entire Long Chuan city view, hills were connected into a far distance, while countless numbers of nts surrounded the entire Long Chuan mountain range.

    That location was overly crowded with fierce ultra beasts!

    Any first-timer here would have been amazed by the experience of dining at such a high-rise building, while apanied by its surroundings and ambience.

    Excessively extravagant!

    The ce was often visited by Gao Yukang, a C-tier that was ranked above average within the Long Chuan City.

    There were not more than five B-tier aptitude users in the entire Long Chuan City, and they were all top-tier generals, while the duke was an A-tier that was rarely seen and did not contribute much, and would only return by using the spatial waymark if there was any uncertainty on the battlefield situation.

    Hence, influences within Long Chuan were ratherplicated.

    ¡°Premium D-tier beast king frog meat, I had someone specially reserve this for you!¡±

    ¡°I shall begin to enjoy my meal!¡± Bai Li was having a good time enjoying the delicious meal.

    Qin Feng smiled, and was less interested in his meal.

    Gao Yukang waved his hand and ordered the waiter to serve red wine.

    ¡°Try it!¡±

    Qin Feng lifted up his wine ss in an elegant and casual manner and clinked his ss with Gao Yukang¡¯s.

    ¡°You do know how to enjoy yourself!¡± Gao Yukang spoke.

    He did not have much interaction with Qin Feng from their previous meetings, however, he had noticed that Qin Feng did not behave like any other ordinary 17 year old.

    And it had be even more obvious!

    ¡°Ignorance should never be disyed, also, in the entire world, who would have higher ranks than ability users? It will only be... ability users who are more powerful than the others!¡±

    Hence, it was possible to have such self-confidence.

    ¡°Ha!¡± Gao Yukang was delighted by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Let¡¯s talk about our cooperation!¡± Qin Feng made his intentions clear.

    Gao Yukang nodded and agreed, ¡°Although I do not own an organization, however, to remain on par withrge-sized organizations, I do have a troop of mercenaries with more than twenty D-tier aptitude users, and they have already identified their target!¡±

    Gao Yukang essed hismunicator and sent across the relevant information to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng looked at the recordings of a giganticke, and a giant python that was a hundred meters in length slowly surfacing on theke.

    It might also be a dragon.

    ¡°What¡¯s its tier?¡±

    It looked powerful and extremely horrifying from the recordings, however, Qin Feng was unable to have the actual sense of it.

    However, Qin Feng assumed that it would not be a low-tier creature.

    ¡°D-tier beast emperor!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, and it was close to his own assumption.

    ¡°A mayor should be able to handle such creatures!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    Gao Yukang nodded and replied, ¡°However, I do not want to follow the footsteps of Cheng Dacheng!¡±

    Then, Gao Yukang remembered something and exined further, ¡°Have you heard about Cheng Dacheng? The one who built the Dacheng Organization, and almost lost his life when he killed a beast emperor, I still remember that it was you who bought the beast emperor core!¡±

    Qin Feng knew what Gao Yukang meant.

    ¡°You want me to prevent the others from stealing it? Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°I heard that you killed Xue Jinkuang, and I do think that you have such capability!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°No problem!¡±

    Gao Yukang continued, ¡°Once it is done, I will share one third of the reward with you!¡±

    ¡°That is a little too much!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    ¡°You are also weed to lend your helping hand!¡±

    Qin Fengughed, ¡°Well, nice to work with you!¡±

    With Qin Feng¡¯s current capabilities, I was still unknown whether he could take down a D-tier beast emperor, and Qin Feng had a slight disadvantage of being a human being.

    Moreover, such a dragon would have all sorts of precious items, there would be a beast emperor ability core that might be worth up to 300 billion, and with the other materials, it would at least be worth about 500 billion.

    If one third of those were to be allocated to Qin Feng, he would have 150 billion for himself.

    Indeed, it was quite a huge sum for a D-tier aptitude user.

    It seemed that Gao Yukang had positive expectations toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°A toast to our partnership!¡±

    Gao Yukang replied and raised his ss, and both of them clinked their sses again.

    The gentlemen had arrived at an agreement!

    It was a pleasant dining experience and Qin Feng was happy to have such close ties with Gao Yukang, an arrogant person that had also retained his straightforward and upright behavior. During ancient times, he would have been well-recognized with his heroic and chivalrous character!

 Chapter 391 - Lei Ying

    <h4>Chapter 391: Lei Ying</h4>

    However, it was obvious that someone else was against the continuation of their ns!

    ¡°Yo, Mayor Gao!¡± A man greeted in a peculiar manner.

    Qin Feng was alerted.

    An unusual looking person came up, he had an aquiline nose, triangr-shaped upturned eyes, and an extremely fierce look; however, he had a well-built physique, an aptitude user badge was on his chest, and C5 was printed on it!

    A C5-tier aptitude user!

    Furthermore, he had a lightning logo disyed on his outfit.

    Undoubtedly, it was a logo that was unfavored by Qin Feng.

    The only reason behind it was because he was a member from the Leitang Organization.

    There was only one C-tier aptitude user in the Leitang Organization.

    With that, the identity of the person had already been clearly announced.

    Lei Ying¡ªLeader of the Leitang Organization.

    Actually, it was not surprising to have a leader¡¯s presence here.

    It went without saying that most of them would be active around the Long Chuan area.

    ¡°I thought that it was someone else! I am surprised by your presence, Chairman Lei!¡±

    Obviously, Gao Yukang did not want to meet with Lei Ying, he sounded unweing with his greeting and had even remained seated.

    They might be ranked differently, however, not everyone would be bothered to get certified to showcase their actual ranks.

    Gao Yukang¡¯s actual capability would most probably be higher than his current rank, and he would not hesitate to go against Lei Ying.

    Therefore, the simple and short-lived greeting had showcased their unfriendly rtions.

    Lei Ying was aware about it too, however, he did not care, and his only aim was to shame Gao Yukang.

    Lei Ying shifted his eyes and looked toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°A neer under you again? Mayor Gao, you really are favored by many, there would always be someone there to serve under you, unlike me, without my wealth, I have nothing else. Well, wealth is what I am left with!¡±

    It was obvious from his expression that Gao Yukang was starting to feel irritated.

    Lei Ying¡¯s capability was nothing to write home about, however, his open-door policy had allowed him to involve half of his operations with the dark organizations. With hisbat power contribution at Long Chuan, the Human Alliance had turned a blind eye on him, therefore, most of his ie originated from the dark organizations.

    The source of ie had funded the constant expansion of the Leitang Organization, and as a result, Lei Ying had be insanely wealthy.

    With that, Lei Ying had the advantage over many of the others.

    ¡°Lei Ying, do you know that you are such a spoiler for appetite? Could you just allow us to have our meal peacefully!¡± Gao Yukang warned in a cold voice.

    Lei Ying let out an evil grin.

    ¡°I am very happy to see that you are annoyed!¡±

    Gao Yukang looked even more annoyed.

    Lei Ying was being very shameless.

    Certainly, it would not look good to be caught in a deadlock situation, and Lei Ying had also lost his interest.

    Lei Ying moved his gaze away from Qin Feng and noticed Bai Li who was enjoying her meal.

    It was at that moment, despite his past experiences and various encounters, Lei Ying was instantly shocked by her beautifully breathtaking looks.

    Lei Ying instantly took out a golden-colored entrance card to his room and tossed it onto the table.

    ¡°Come to the Royal Grand Hotel tonight, room 88!¡±

    Lei Ying said and pointed toward Bai Li.

    Bai Li raised her head innocently and could not understand his intentions.

    She licked her lips and looked at Qin Feng, as if she was trying to figure out what they were up to.

    Bai Li¡¯s reaction had amplified Lei Ying¡¯s itching urge to take her away immediately!

    Qin Feng had been ignoring Lei Ying the entire time; however, he was instantly angered by his intentions.

    ¡°Excuse me, I am afraid that my girlfriend will not be able to entertain your request!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a cold sneer and answered, while his conscious energy took control of the golden card and it flew up in the air and sted toward Lei Ying.

    Lei Ying instantly switched his smile to that of an eerie expression and stared coldly at Qin Feng.

    Conscious energy was activated and the golden card stopped mid-air.

    ¡°Are you trying to insult me? Are you aware of the consequences?¡±

    Lei Ying stared at Qin Feng in a deadly manner.

    ¡°I would also like to show you the consequences of having bad intentions toward my girlfriend!¡±

    Qin Feng remained emotionless while his urge to kill was exuding from his eyesight.

    Both of their conscious energies were spiking continuously!

    The golden card was stuck in between the intimidating pressure from both of them.

    Lei Ying was more infuriated as he felt challenged by the D-tier aptitude user who was unafraid of going up against his conscious energy.

    Lei Ying was an ability user famously known for his powerful thunder abilities.

    It was indeed an act of looking down on a powerful opponent!

    With that in mind, silverish-purple lightning began to appear around Lei Ying.

    Qin Feng reacted with a cold sneer; an emperor D-tier might not necessarily lose a conscious energy battle against a C-tier who was higher in rank.

    Air flow began to bend around Qin Feng while mes flickered!

    Both of them were surrounded by runes, while strong presence of conscious energy expanded and flooded the surroundings, the intense pressure was unbearable by the others.

    Aptitude users who were having their meals in the restaurant were shocked and looked toward the same direction, while ordinary civilian workers immediately fled the scene, it was as if their body would explode if they were to remain in the area.

    The environment was insanely dangerous!

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    Suddenly, a clear sounding and dissatisfied groan was heard, it was Bai Li!

    She raised one of her fingers and pointed forward, it was as if she had poked onto the golden card.

    Within split seconds, the golden card was destabilized and began to vibrate at high speed.

    Swoosh!

    The golden card was instantly sted toward Lei Ying.

    Lei Ying¡¯s conscious energy was destroyed and diminished, and the card flew directly onto him.

    Lei Ying was caught off guard.

    He immediately raised his hand subconsciously and blocked the card from moving further.

    Poof!

    The golden card instantly pierced into Lei Ying¡¯s palm.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Lei Ying immediately shouted, fortunately, despite the premium material of the card, it was still insufficient to pierce through a human bone.

    It might even be crushed into pieces if it were to be put under immense conscious energy.

    However, the oue of it was already jaw-dropping enough.

    Qin Feng recollected his conscious energy as Lei Ying¡¯s conscious energy had definitely been dispersed by Bai Li.

    Lei Ying lowered his head and looked at his hand; it was already dripping with fresh blood.

    Lei Ying was afraid to look at Bai Li

    Bai Li mmed her hands onto the table, while every cutlery floated in the air and was aimed toward Lei Ying.

    ¡°Go away, or I will kill you now!¡±

    Bai Li warned, while her urge to kill began to fill the surroundings, it was as if she would really go for the kill unless Lei Ying were to leave immediately.

    Lei Ying was shocked and infuriated by such a transformation.

    Firstly, he had not thought that Bai Li would threaten him this way.

    Secondly, he was surprised by Bai Li¡¯s capability to cause harm to him.

    It was indeed unbelievable.

    At that moment, the manager of the restaurant immediately rushed forward with his sweating forehead.

    The manager was only an E-tier assigned to look after the restaurant for a C-tier restaurant owner.

    ¡°Master Lei, stay calm, we have a lot of delicious ingredients avable today, this way please, this way please!¡±

    The manager was fully aware that he should not mention anything about Lei Ying¡¯s injury, or else, it would have fueled Lei Ying¡¯s anger and made it into a fight.

    ¡°Alright, great, both of you, watch out!¡±

    Lei Ying let out a death stare toward Bai Li and Qin Feng.

    Bai Li immediately rolled her eyes and seemed unbothered.

    Qin Feng let out a cold sneer and replied, ¡°Looking forward to your visit!¡±

    Lei Ying turned and left abruptly!

    As soon as Lei Ying had left, Gao Yukang who had been seated before Qin Feng roused and surprised everyone with a greatugh.

 Chapter 392 - Departure

    <h4>Chapter 392: Departure</h4>

    ¡°Hahaha, good job, young heroes, I have underestimated both of you before this!¡±

    Perhaps, Bai Li was the one being underestimated!

    ¡°Lady Bai, a toast to you!¡± Gao Yukang raised his ss.

    Bai Li shook her head and replied, ¡°Enjoy yourself, I prefer not to drink!¡±

    Qin Feng clinked his ss with Gao Yukang¡¯s and answered, ¡°Bai Li does not enjoy drinking; I¡¯ll take it for her!¡±

    ¡°I did not expect that...¡±

    Gao Yukang did not feel that Bai Li was being disrespectful, but on the contrary, it was just her own personality.

    Obviously, those who had great capabilities would often be driven by their own personality traits.

    Gao Yukang was an ancient warrior, and Lei Ying was an ability user, hence, it had surprised him to see someone that could go up against Lei Ying in a conscious energy challenge.

    The meet up was worth the effort indeed!

    Everyone had enjoyed it!

    On the second day, the Fengli mercenary had gathered around Gao Yukang¡¯s Heng Yu mercenary, and the joint forces left Long Chuan City for the frontline stronghold.

    Lei Ying was being informed of the movement, and his sinister expression was immediately revealed.

    Lei Ying¡¯s hand was no longer injured!

    Any top-tier aptitude user would be able to recover from their minor injuries and heal within a short period of time.

    However, Lei Ying felt that it was a shameful moment for him.

    He had been injured by a female junior that came out of nowhere.

    Lei Ying was enraged by the provocation toward his majestic status.

    ¡°Have you found out who they are? Lei Ying asked with a deep voice.

    A D-tier aide who stood behind him answered carefully, ¡°Yes, one of them is Qin Feng, while another is Bai Li, currently, they are the general and deputy general of Shadong Town!¡±

    Lei Ying instantly frowned.

    ¡°Shadong Town?¡±

    ¡°Yes, ording to our findings, he was the one who had purchased the beast emperor core from Cheng Dacheng earlier!¡±

    Lei Ying was livid!

    The D-tier aptitude user carefully assessed the reaction from Lei Ying¡¯s back and continued with his sentence.

    ¡°Also, he was the one who killed Lei Chang!¡±

    Crack!

    Lei Ying immediately crushed the wine ss that he was holding in his hand!

    ¡°Trash!¡±

    The D-tier aptitude user was afraid to add on further.

    Things had not been smooth for the Leitang Organization, they had recently lost two D-tiers, besides Lei Tang, Lei Chen had also died in Shadong Town, and nobody knew that it was also Qin Feng that had killed Lei Chen.

    Nheless, Lei Ying had already nned to get revenge on Qin Feng.

    ¡°We shall also depart now!¡±

    It was obvious that Lei Ying did not want to be left out from partaking in the situation.

    The conscious energy battle did not mean anything, and for him, Qin Feng and Bai Li were too young to be able to umte more than his rune collections, which meant that their ability would not be as powerful as his.

    With that being said, it was still unknown who would be the ultimate winner of the uing battle!

    Lei Ying had decided to reim his dignity.

    He would not stop until he had killed Qin Feng!

    ***

    The joint forces of Qin Feng and Gao Yukang had added up to more than sixty people; upon their arrival at the stronghold, they spent another day to settle down before they continued to go further into the Long Chuan mountain ranges.

    Humankind was too weak to be in such an environment, and the scent released from their body was a clear signal to reveal themselves to the predators around; and as soon as they had entered into the forest, they were immediately spotted by forest wolves.

    However, the wolves were all E-tiers, and they were unaware of the D-tier badge that was on Qin Feng¡¯s chest, and all of them began to pounce toward the humans.

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    ¡°Clean up immediately, or else, the blood smell will spread further away!¡±

    ¡°There are quite a lot of them!¡±

    Countless numbers of giant wolves appeared and roamed around the bushes, they were about three meters in height, simr to the height of a human adult.

    Despite being a D-tier aptitude user, it would still be taxing to face the pack of ultra beasts.

    Surprisingly, there were about three hundred forest wolves around.

    Qin Feng assessed the situation and was aware that the blood smell would draw unnecessary attention within the Long Chuan mountain ranges.

    ¡°Let me take care of this!¡±

    Qin Feng suggested with his cold voice, while an instant conscious energy erupted from him.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    Immediately, the entire area within the radius of a hundred meter was engulfed in mes.

    The entire pack of wolves that were pouncing forward was shrouded and trapped within a sea of fire.

    Furs were charred, fleshes were burnt, it was impossible for the pack of wolves to withstand the torture from Qin Feng¡¯s ability.

    ¡°Awuu!¡± The pack of wolves howled and intended to escape; however, they were instantly devoured by the mes.

    Hundreds of forest wolves were killed.

    Of course, Qin Feng did not spare any of his mercy, all of the wolves had turned into ashes, and they were only left with their fangs and ws.

    Everyone that was led by Gao Yukang was in shock, and all of them were marveling at Qin Feng¡¯s impressive skills!

    As agreed by Gao Yukang, Qin Feng would have one third share as his reward, meaning that Gao Yukang¡¯s aide would be rewarded much less than they should have.

    They were definitely dissatisfied about that!

    Although they were outnumbered by Qin Feng¡¯s massive team, one tenth as his reward would be good enough topensate him.

    Finally, they now understood that the reward was not meant for the entire team, and it was only for Qin Feng.

    A powerful and capable aptitude user had the absolute right to demand for such a massive amount of reward.

    ¡°Move on!¡±

    Qin Fengmanded and took the lead.

    Chen Xiang, Gao Li and the others followed behind Qin Feng.

    Thebined mercenary was travelling at a very high speed.

    If it were not because of Qin Feng¡¯s refusal to reveal his true ability, he would have been able to travel at a much higher speed.

    Despite their high travel speed, it had still taken them three days toplete their journey, and some of the aptitude users were even injured. Fortunately, there were doctors within the team that had allowed them to sustain their energy to carry on with the battle.

    Finally, they had arrived at the peak of a mountain and there was ake before them.

    The scene was like a paradise in the human world.

    ¡°Amazing view!¡±

    Bai Li eximed.

    Dark green water in theke was reflected from the surface, and it was like a picture that was being disyed.

    Blue skies were apanied by fresh green water, while bird chirpings echoed around the fragrant florals.

    It was at that moment, gleaming reflections began to ripple from the surface of theke, in the next moment, a gigantic skull emerged from the surface of the water, and a pair of spotlight-sized pupils were targeted toward the direction of the crowd.

    Although it was at least a thousand meters away from the surface of theke, everyone was shocked and terrified as soon as the creature raised its head up from theke surface.

    They were being targeted!

    It was the best way to describe the situation.

    At that moment, Qin Feng had also focused his eyes onto the D-tier beast emperor.

    Soon, Qin Feng noticed that the capability of the beast emperor was way above average, it was a D9-tier!

    Meaning, it was just one step away from achieving C-tier!

    ¡°Is, is iting over?!¡± Chen Xiang¡¯s voice began to tremble.

    Until now, he had yet to meet with any beast emperor ultra beast!

    As a freeman, Chen Xiang would not purposely hunt for such terrifying creatures, and it was only after he had followed Qin Feng, his encounter with beast kings became more often.

    Or else, any beast general would be capable of giving him a hard time, not to mention those that were above his rank.

    ¡°Machine setup!¡±

    ¡°Prepare the ammunition!¡±

    ¡°During the battleter, three ancient warriors remain to protect the gunners.¡±

    ¡°Zheng Xi, Yang San, follow me!¡±

    Gao Yukang coordinated the team in a regr and thorough manner, while the others began to carry out their tasks and enter into battle mode.

    At the center of theke, the gigantic dragon had locked its vision onto the crowd, and it howled continuously, as if it was trying to dere war with the humans.

    Any unwanted intruders would definitely be killed without any mercy!

 Chapter 393 - The Battle Begins

    <h4>Chapter 393: The Battle Begins</h4>

    Qin Feng did not need to use his ammunition reserves, and instead could borrow some from the gunners nearby. It was why Gao Yukang had chosen this kind of distribution, for the sake of cooperation, even if Qin Feng were to criticize him for having spent too much money!

    With enough ammo to take down the enemy without the users suffering from bodily harm was a great gain.

    The Fengli Mercenary Troop had already made their preparations

    Qin Feng also moved himself into position.

    Very quickly, his expanded consciousness had already scanned the surroundings.

    At this time, Lei Ying also stopped in his tracks!

    ¡°Boss!¡±

    The others did not know what was going on and they looked at Lei Ying.

    His originally scowling expression seemed to have darkened even more!

    ¡°Stay here and don¡¯t go over there!¡±

    Lei Ying naturally would not have said it, but he knew that his entire group had already been discovered!

    The consciousness acted like a surveyor¡¯s pole. Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had fought against Lei Ying¡¯s before, he would know who Qin Feng was!

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯ll definitely die this time!¡±

    If Qin Feng were to tell Gao Yukang about his presence, then his ambush would bepletely ruined!

    Little did Lei Ying know, thekeside battle had already begun.

    Swish! Swish! Swish!

    The artillery shells were fired one after the other.

    In the blink of an eye, the shells soared through the air and crashed into theke about a kilometer away.

    There were no sounds of an explosion but mist began to appear on the water¡¯s surface as a purple light shed.

    A Giga-Volt Electromaic Cannon!

    This kind of weapon was specifically used to fight underwater creatures.

    It was not just home to the Water Drakon Emperor. After the Giga-Volt Electromaic sts connected with theke, countless creatures rolled onto their bellies and floated up onto the surface.

    Even these extras were very valuable loot.

    ¡°Shaa...¡±

    The Water Drakon Emperor let out an angry roar, and from the mist a huge body soared out of it.

    The Water Drakon Emperor had taken flight.

    This was not unexpected.

    After all, it was an ultra beast with abilities, if it had consciousness it meant that it could probably fly.

    Its body floated through the air, blocking out the sun with its sheer size before rushing toward the mountain top with a gathering of mist billowing in its wake.

    ¡°The Wind Cannon is ready to shoot it down!¡±

    The gunner quickly swapped shells and began to fire.

    In an instant, strong winds began to blow forth and the moment the shell exploded, countless wind des began to pierce toward the Water Drakon Emperor¡¯s direction.

    The flying drakon was constantly being battered by a barrage of wind des. These wind des were not strong enough to pierce through its skin, but the consistent barrage forced it to retreat.

    After another round of bombing, the Water Drakon Emperor had exhausted a lot of ability powers to deflect the attacks and it greatly reduced itsbat effectiveness.

    These shells cost around 100 billion.

    ¡°Prepare to engage!¡±

    Gao Yukang was the first to take action, his whole body was wrapped in internal force. When he kicked himself into the air, he shattered the ground beneath him.

    As he soared through the sky, he shed at the Water Drakon Emperor¡¯s body with his longsword.

    ¡°Bai Li, watch those people. I¡¯m going in to help!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Bai Li nodded, turning her back on the rest, but her consciousness was locked onto Lei Ying and his people.

    Her consciousness was so powerful that those who felt her presence could not help but shudder.

    Lei Ying gritted his teeth, enduring Bai Li¡¯s lock-on, holding up a telescope to see what was going on.

    Qin Feng was already taking action!

    ¡°Fiery Peacock!¡±

    A bright blue me appeared, forming the shape of a two-meter wide Blue me Peacock. Not only that, this peacock began to split into two, then four, before taking flight.

    Multiple Fiery Peacock attacks!

    The Blue me Peacocks morphed into fiery energy as they rushed toward the Water Drakon Emperor.

    Boom!

    The first Firey Peacock st collided with the Drakon¡¯s chin, knocking its head up.

    Boom boom boom!

    The remaining three all flew at different angles but in the end they all collided in the same ce.

    Gao Yukang who originally came in with a defensive posture was taken aback for a moment, but then his eyes lit up.

    ¡°yer¡¯s de: shing Flurry!¡±

    He aimed at the exposed lower abdomen of the Water Drakon Emperor, his sword skills moving in a dazzling disy.

    Skrrr!

    ng ng ng!

    The internal force around Gao Yukang¡¯s sword cleaved away the weakened scales before drawing blood.

    A resounding hit!

    ¡°Threeek!¡± The Water Drakon Emperor screeched, finally looking to Gao Yukang and opening its mouth.

    ¡°Hsst!¡±

    Arge spout of water erupted from its maw, like water bursting out from a dam!

    The surrounding trees that were flooded by this st of water all toppled over!

    It was at this moment, a pair of ming blue wings could be seen carrying a figure toward the Water Drakon Emperor

    Boom!

    That was the sound of a head-on collision.

    Immediately, the massive drakon was hit and was sent flying more than twenty meters into the air.

    It lost control of its abilities out of sheer pain.

    This time, Gao Yukang¡¯s form flickered as he rushed out of the water, leaping high up.

    ¡°yer¡¯s de: Reckless sh!¡±

    Gao Yukang leapt higher than where the drakon went and so the de fell onto the Water Drakon Emperor in the blink of an eye.

    Boom boom boom!

    If it were not for the fact that the Water Drakon Emperor was a beast emperor, it would have instantly died from the attacking power of this C-tier aptitude user.

    Of course, Reckless sh was very powerful and the drakon was not an easy opponent. Its body rolled through the air, coiling around before swatting Gao Yukang away with a tail swipe.

    Boom!

    With that hit, the collision sent rocks tumbling down from the hill.

    ¡°Watch out!¡±

    ¡°No. Watch me!¡¯

    ¡°Skyquake Hammer!¡±

    Zheng Qian, the D9 ancient warrior that had followed Gao Yukang from before, lifted up his hammer and charged at the drakon.

    Afternding a blow, the Water Drakon Emperor was forced to retreat again before coiling around in a circle to knock Zheng Qian away.

    ¡°Blockade fire!¡±

    Yan San quickly issued another order.

    Boom boom boom!

    The artillery fire blocked the Water Drakon Emperor¡¯s escape, forcing it to stay in ce.

    After the barrage ended, Gao Yukang had returned. While he had taken some damage, it did not look like it hindered hisbat prowess at all.

    Qin Feng unleashed another Fiery Peacock, not to steal the glory but to give Gao Yukang more openings to attack.

    Then the battle was joined by more and more aptitude users.

    In the distance, Lei Ying¡¯s face paled as he watched on through his telescope.

    ¡°Boss, if this goes on, does that mean that they actually think they can kill a D-tier beast emperor?¡±

    ¡°Zheng Qian is about to reach C-tier. Gao Yukang wants to surround himself with capable subordinates and raise Zheng Qian¡¯s power by one more level. If they really take down the beast emperor, that would be detrimental to the Leitang Organization!¡±

    ¡°Looks like Zheng Qian¡¯s a problem now.¡±

    ¡°These dogs killed a lot of our people!¡±

    The members of the Leitang Organization were obviously not on friendly terms with Gao Yukang, or they had deep grievances.

    Lei Ying naturally understood the current situation.

    ¡°Hmph, easily taking down a beast emperor? There¡¯s no such thing!¡± Lei Ying thought to himself.

 Chapter 394 - What Goes Around Comes Around

    <h4>Chapter 394: What Goes Around Comes Around</h4>

    ¡°Grab some beast lure powder and send it their way!¡±

    Lei Ying said with a dark grin on his face.

    Human beings had been fighting ultra beasts for hundreds of years, if there was such a thing as beast repellent powder, there naturally would be something that did the opposite effect.

    Beast lure powder had many functions. For example, it could be used to lure out ultra beasts into the open while in the wilderness or it could be poisoned.

    When the ultra beast was trying to escape, beast repellent powder would be unnecessary. That was why beast lure powder was a good method of turning things around.

    When Qin Feng was in Sea City, the powder had been used before! It could be said that this was a typical Leitang move.

    ¡°Who¡¯s going?¡±

    ¡°Knife is!¡±

    ¡°Boss, watch me!¡±

    Thunder Knife of Leitang was not any normal ability user, he was a Dark ability user.

    In an instant, his ability was activated and he turned into a shadow before quickly lurking toward the direction of Qin Feng and the others.

    Gao Yukang was a C-tier aptitude user but he had weak consciousness.

    Due to how the runes were, the dark ability worked as an incredibly strong concealing tool. It was impossible for anyone on the same level to be able to detect Thunder Knife¡¯s presence.

    However, they overlooked the fact that there indeed was someone stronger than Knife.

    That was Bai Li!

    She had been keeping an eye on them for a while, Knife suddenly moving definitely meant that something was up!

    ¡°Someone¡¯s trying to sneak up on us!¡±

    Bai Li used her consciousness to deliver the message.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression soured.

    Leitang¡¯s people, he had to stop them!

    What was more, this was the reason why Gao Yukang was looking for him. He was supposed to prevent other people from trying to take advantage of the opportunity to steal their loot.

    With that in mind, he left the heat of the battle.

    Using his consciousness to sweep the area, he immediately detected where the dark runes were floating.

    Whoosh!

    Qin Feng quickly dashed through the forest and soon appeared within Thunder Knife¡¯s line of sight.

    Knife was surprised! Just from a moment¡¯s nce, he knew that he had encountered Qin Feng.

    After all, how could he forget the face of the person who killed Lei Chang!

    ¡°There¡¯s a mercenary troop hunting an ultra beast ahead. In order to avoid any misunderstanding, I suggest you stop it!¡± Qin Feng said in a stern voice.

    Thunder Knife frowned.

    ¡®Did he find me?¡¯

    ¡®No, he must be trying to trick me!¡¯

    That was what he thought, wanting to move on while he was hidden in the shadows.

    Whoosh!

    Dark Shadow easily allowed Thunder Knife to quickly avoid Qin Feng.

    ¡®He really was trying to trick me! Little bastard!¡¯

    Just when Thunder Knife thought that, he suddenly felt a fiery hot auraing from behind him.

    He was shocked!

    ¡°Darkness Door!¡±

    In a split second, darkness billowed around him before he was plunged into the inky darkness.

    Immediately after, a burning blue light crashed into the ce where Thunder Knife stood.

    This blue light did not immediately kill Thunder Knife, but it instantly exploded and pierced through a tree in the blink of an eye.

    Boom!

    The tree burst from the center!¡±

    ¡°Gaaah!¡± Thunder Knife let out a pained cry as he was blown out. As an ability user, his body was extremely fragile!

    At this time, he had beenpletely exposed. There were no more ces to hide!

    ¡°Go to hell!¡±

    Thunder Knife mobilized his consciousness, contorting the surrounding shadows and stretched them toward Qin Feng in an effort to entangle his feet and body.

    Then, he pointed a finger at Qin Feng, charging up a bolt of darkness from his hand.

    Qin Feng knew what this attack was and was familiar with it. It was a Dark Ray.

    Being hit by this ability would sharply decrease his strength and severely weaken him.

    Too bad it would not have any real effect on him!

    Of course, he would not simply allow Thunder Knife to hit him like that!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had also been activated.

    A burst of red light red from his body, instantly transforming into arge dragon.

    Therge dragon spun around Qin Feng, instantly snuffing out all the dark runes around him before rushing forward at the sound of a whistle.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Technique!¡± Thunder Knife eximed.

    This kind of attack was really powerful. Thunder Knife may have been D tier, but he did not have a lot of abilities on hand and the Dark ability did not have a lot of moves to begin with.

    Upon seeing the Fire Dragon Technique, Knife knew that he was in trouble and that his opponent was not a small fry!

    ¡°Shadow Absorption!¡±

    He started to make a move and a vortex of darkness blinked in front of him.

    The Fire Dragon swooped in and directly mmed into this vortex of darkness.

    However, Knife¡¯s forehead was drenched with sweat. Shadow Absorption was a good move, but the stronger the attack, the more consciousness was needed to keep the ability up.

    He obviously did not expect Qin Feng¡¯s attack to be so powerful!

    Therge head of the Fire Dragon had entered the shadowy vortex but just as its body was halfway through the Shadow Absorption ability hit its limit.

    Boom!

    The vortex suddenly fell apart.

    The remaining half of the dragon instantly sted into Knife¡¯s body.

    ¡°Aargh!¡±

    The mes knocked Knife directly into a tree and the impact shook him to his core. In the blink of an eye, hisbat uniform was damaged, revealing the purple lightbat armor that he was wearing to protect himself.

    ¡°Cough, cough!¡±

    His abdomen was seriously injured and he was coughing up blood.

    Qin Feng stepped forward with the Verdant Emperor Saber in hand, holding the tip of the sword toward Knife.

    Knife abruptly jumped up in the next moment.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    A cloud of powder rushed toward him in an instant. He took a whiff and immediately knew what he was smelling.

    Beast lure powder!

    It really was a typical Leitang Organization move.

    Qin Feng unleashed his internal force to prevent the beast lure powder from falling onto his body before moving his feet and chasing after Knife.

    ¡°Prepare to die!¡±

    Since they wanted to use this to harm people, there naturally would be consequences.

    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

    Qin Feng chased after him by using Dark Shadow as well!

    Thunder Knife did not know, but now there was someone much faster and much stealthier than he was approaching him.

    In the next moment, Qin Feng appeared in front of Knife!

    His eyes widened, reflecting the motion of Qin Feng shing forward with his saber.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber shed past.

    A head instantly rolled down.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    Fresh blood was spilled as a new wound was made on charred flesh. The man was dead.

    The battle between Qin Feng and Knife was not concealed, so it didn¡¯t matter if it was the Fengli Mercenary Troop, Gao Yukang¡¯s mercenary group, or the Leitang Organization. Everyone felt it!

    The people of the Leitang Organization were all strangely quiet.

    Then they all tried to send a message to Knife with theirmunicators.

    Knife obviously would not be able to report back.

    He was dead.

    Qin Feng decided that he was not going to be bothered with this anymore. He quickly cremated the body with his Fire ability after picking up the fallen¡¯s spatial rune equipment.

    The things within were also revealed.

    ¡°What goes around...es around!¡±

 Chapter 395 - Tackling Problems Head-On

    <h4>Chapter 395: Tackling Problems Head-On</h4>

    Qin Feng let out a sinister chuckle, as he pulled out the beast lure powder from the spatial rune equipment!

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡±

    He was surrounded by dark runes before they wrapped around his body, making him disappearpletely!

    In the distance, Lei Ying had originally locked onto Qin Feng with his consciousness but found that his target hadpletely disappeared!

    ¡°Impossible!¡±

    He only thought that Qin Feng had a powerful consciousness, but it was not possible that it would be at the level where it was strong enough to shield himself from consciousness detection.

    The consciousness level between the two should be simr!

    As for that Bai Li girl, it was even weirder.

    Who could have expected Qin Feng to disappear from right under his nose!

    Qin Feng quickly scuttled through the woods while under the concealment of darkness.

    His emperor-level consciousness could indeed be challenged by someone of a higher level but that would not be too big of a problem. Just simplyparing with the amount of skills that the C5-tier Lei Ying possessed, this was an astounding performance!

    But Qin Feng was able to avoid Lei Ying¡¯s detection due to his Dark ability. He was not like Thunder Knife, as he had the boons of the Hellstone! In a way, he basically did not exist.

    He moved extremely quickly, and in two minutes he had passed through the jungle and reached a ce where Leitang was.

    Forty people came with Leitang, Lei Ying was right, even with the little amount he had he could still bring up so many people.

    Qin Feng¡¯s smile widened. He had been hiding in the shadows before appearing instantly!

    Swish!

    A cloud of white powder floated up instantly.

    Qin Feng¡¯s movements were too fast!

    The powder sprinkled onto everyone so suddenly that their faces were covered head to toe in beast lure powder!

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°Damn, what is this?!¡±

    The Leitang members suddenly yelled out.

    Unprepared, the ability users did not put up their elemental shields, the ancient warriors did not put up their internal force shields, not even the gunners had the chance to pull up their consciousness barrier.

    These people were not in abative mode so naturally they did not want to waste their abilities.

    They ended up being sessfully ambushed by Qin Feng!

    ¡°Gah! It¡¯s beast lure powder!¡±

    An aptitude user screamed.

    This beast powder was especially made by them, once it made contact with skin, it would not wash off even if it came into contact with water!

    And it was around them like a cocoon!

    ¡°Who!¡±

    Lei Ying was not standing with them so he was not affected by the attack, but that made him exceedingly angry.

    It was a provocation, a highly dangerous task such as this.

    The moment Qin Feng appeared, he had himself immediately called out.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    He shouted the name through gritted teeth.

    Qin Feng¡¯s voice came from the dark, but with internal force pushing it forward it sounded like it wasing from all directions, and it made it hard to pinpoint his location.

    ¡°A present for you, President Lei!¡±

    Qin Feng was very pleased with himself!

    Lei Ying was absolutely furious.

    ¡°Thunder Ring!¡±

    He raised his right hand, which had on a huge glove iid with purple gems that instantly began to emit a light.

    Within a hundred meter radius, purple spheres suddenly appeared to surround everyone. The spheres swelled to about a meter in diameter before exploding.

    The spread of each Thunder Orb was twenty meters long and with more than a dozen Thunder Orbs exploding, the surrounding forest was almost destroyed by it.

    It was a pity that there was no trace of Qin Feng nearby.

    Lei Ying¡¯s entire body crackled with lightning and the Thunder Shield was raised around him to protect his body.

    Secretly, he was afraid of Qin Feng.

    Then, at this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

    ¡°Boss, look out!¡±

    ¡°Behind you!¡±

    Everyone eximed and Lei Ying¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    ¡°Lightning Sparks!¡±

    ¡°Crackle!¡±

    Lei Ying instantly shed forward.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Qin Feng was in hot pursuit.

    The speed between the two was not too different.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    The call of a dragon rang out before a pair of golden dragon ws grabbed at Lei Ying.

    Crackle!

    The lightning shield flickered but it could not do anything to stop the blow from breaking through the Thunder Shield.

    The Thunder Shield shattered.

    ¡°You¡¯re dead!¡± Lei Ying roared as the menacing glow of thunder wrapped over the ce where Qin Feng was.

    Crack!

    Boom!

    Qin Feng refused to give in but him being on the offense made Lei Ying even angrier!

    A bit of white powdery substance managed to fall onto his forehead.

    It was actually beast lure powder!

    Thunder shook his internal force shield, threatening to tear it apart.

    ¡°Lets see if you can survive this!¡± Lei Ying was very angry. Was Qin Feng seriously thinking about spreading beast lure powder at this time? Did he think that he would not get killed?

    Under the thunder¡¯s glow, Qin Feng smirked.

    His internal strength was far more powerful than people had expected, so long as his internal force shield did not get overpowered by an attack stronger than it he would be fine!

    All it took was the little effort of keeping it up.

    At this time, Qin Feng had already scattered the beast lure powder and no longer wanted to entangle himself with Lei Ying, instantly retreating.

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡±

    In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from where he was.

    Lei Ying still wanted to give chase but he had no idea where Qin Feng went.

    ¡°Hrawhoo!¡±

    Then came the sound of ultra beasts. All of the Leitang members were now like a served tter, exuding an irresistible fragrance that attracted all manner of ultra beasts.

    ¡°President, do we retreat?¡± A person asked fearfully.

    Lei Ying¡¯s face was about as stormy as his abilities were.

    ¡°Retreat? What do you mean retreat? We¡¯re rushing toward Gao Yukang and the rest, we¡¯ll see if these ultra beasts can tell the difference between people!¡±

    The n was to cause trouble!

    The others were immediately refreshed, although they were worried about their strength, they were hardened criminals. These Leitang members had a strong record of many brutalities in the past.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    Lei Ying took the lead and rushed in the direction of the high slope where the Fengli Mercenary Troop was.

    Qin Feng had also noticed their movements.

    ¡°Unexpectedly you¡¯re still trying!¡±

    He sneered before tapping into hismunicator.

    ¡°Gunners, prepare to turn around and attack!¡±

    ¡°Beep!¡±

    The gunners of the Fengli Mercenary Troop turned one after the other, taking out their weapons.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

    As Lei Ying saw the shells, a ferocious expression came over his face.

 Chapter 396 - Lei Ying Retreats

    <h4>Chapter 396: Lei Ying Retreats</h4>

    Boom!

    Boom boom boom!

    Great scores of artillery shells began to fall, due to the difference in numbers, Qin Feng¡¯s Fengli Mercenary Troop had the ultimate upper-hand!

    However when the opponent suddenly rushed forward, things would naturally not be good.

    Qin Feng sneered and waved a hand!

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    A menacing wave of fire runes erupted outward.

    The surrounding temperature rose quickly, the ground gradually turned red and the trees caught fire. The most terrifying thing was that the ground had turned into a flowing liquid.

    The ground between the Fengli Mercenary Troop and the Leitang Organization was covered in magma.

    The trees gradually sank and crashed into the magma.

    It was a very big pool of magma. If they wanted to get close, they had to pass through it.

    ¡°You think you can stop me?¡±

    Lei Ying was obviously furious, surrounding himself with the Thunder Shield and using consciousness to make him levitate before he rushed toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not try to stop him.

    The other members of the Leitang Organization looked at one another, nodded their heads and quickened their pace to rush toward Qin Feng.

    With ancient martial arts, one stepped through the air and soared at him!

    At this time, Qin Feng let out another frostyugh.

    ¡°Magma Impact!¡±

    As soon as his voice rang out, a huge pir of magma rose into the sky.

    Boom!

    The magma pir instantly enveloped the person who had unleashed their ancient martial arts.

    The person had been wrapped around by internal force, but when the magma pir hit him the internal force around him instantly shattered!

    ¡°Aah!¡±

    Letting out a pained yell, the D-tier aptitude user frantically retreated as his body was scoured by magma.

    Since this D-tier aptitude user was full of vitality earlier, the damage would not kill him.

    Just because he did not move on, he survived. If he kept going, Qin Feng would have let him join the magma as a new pile of ash.

    At this time, the other ancient warriors were all shocked.

    ¡°Assh*le!¡±

    Lei Ying¡¯s face was contorted with rage, but he did not stop moving and only thought about killing Qin Feng. Even if a few of his own people died in the attempt, seeding would be a great relief!

    So, he kept moving forward.

    Suddenly, he felt a consciousness lock onto him!

    In the next moment, a powerful consciousness crashed into him.

    Lei Ying was using his consciousness to fly and the moment the opponent disrupted him, it immediately destabilized him.

    Hell Magma was beneath him, he did not dare drop down!

    ¡°Lightning Sparks!¡±

    Thunder ability runes surrounded him and Lei Ying rushed forward again.

    It was at this time that there was a silver light that had appeared in the space in front of Lei Ying.

    Then, a series of spatial rifts appeared.

    Snap!

    There was the sound of a whip cracking, Lei Ying did not know what was going on as a series of slender cracks began to approach where he was.

    Lei Ying was shocked! Being a well-informed man, he naturally knew what this was!

    Spatial rift!

    No, more like a spatial ability!

    This ability was like a shadow, constantly chasing after him as he retreated.

    ¡°Look out!¡±

    A warning came from behind.

    Lei Ying felt like something just made his heart skip a beat. When he retreated, he shifted his direction but in that moment he brushed past a long and narrow spatial rift.

    This rift swallowed a portion of his left arm, it was more cruel than immediately cutting it off as the arm got removed by the space and the other part spiraled down into the magma below.

    ¡°Aaaah!¡±

    Lei Ying let out a scream.

    When he looked up, the rift had already closed but more than ten centimeters of his arm had been taken away by this rift and put into a spatial pocket!

    He did not have time to be angry, only feeling a chill down his spine.

    If he had not moved, what if the rift did not get his arm and instead got his heart?

    Absolutely terrifying.

    With that in mind, he no longer had the intention of pressing forward and quickly began to retreat!

    Bai Li did not give chase!

    Qin Feng stood in the center of his hellish magma carpet, the distortion in the air given off by the waves of heat made it hard to discern his facial expressions at the moment but his consciousness was locked onto everyone around him.

    People knew that if they tried to approach, he would try to kill them.

    All of a sudden, the roars of ultra beasts could be heard as they quickly approached.

    ¡°Boom... boom... boom... boom... hroaar!¡±

    The massive footfalls gave off a resonating boom as the beasts approached, their movements shaking the ground beneath them.

    Then, a herd of elephantine-ultra beasts that were no longer hidden by the trees started to appear and stared at the Leitang members with burning red eyes.

    Obviously they had been attracted by the beast lure powder.

    Seeing that the road ahead was blocked and the road behind them was about to be blocked, everyone was starting to panic.

    ¡°President, are we...¡±

    Are we still going to attack now?

    If they really were to attack, a whole bunch of people would die! Nobody was guaranteed that it would not be them who would survive.

    Suddenly, these people wanted to retreat out of self-preservation, but they could only wait for Lei Ying¡¯s decision!

    Lei Ying gritted his teeth so hard that he almost cracked some. He stared at Qin Feng, eyes full of hatred.

    He just could not deal with Qin Feng!

    ¡°Retreat!¡±

    After giving the order, he began to turn and run.

    Everyone naturally quickly followed after him. Nobody dared to stay back!

    At this time, the herd was already approaching. Although Lei Ying had taken most of it away, Qin Feng¡¯s confrontation with him had also stained his own hand with beast lure powder and five of those elephant beasts were charging his way.

    These ultra beasts only approached a few steps forward before they were drenched in magma and turned into ash.

    After killing the herd, the surrounding ultra beasts began to move again.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? If there¡¯s a Beast Emperor here there wouldn¡¯t be anypeting ultra beasts nearby!¡± Chen Xiang eximed, preparing forbat at any possible moment!

    ¡°It¡¯s fine, the people from Leitang wanted to use the beast lure powder to harm me, but they¡¯re reaping what they sowed!¡± Qin Feng exined.

    After these words, the other¡¯s expression fell.

    ¡°Beast lure powder? Shameless thugs!¡±

    ¡°But Mr. Qin said they were reaping what they sowed, does that mean they themselves were affected by the powder? Exins why they fled so quickly with so many ultra beasts behind them!¡±

    ¡°The ultra beasts are now aggravated, based on their aura, I¡¯m afraid they¡¯ll be a great threat to us!¡±

    Thebined strength of Qin Feng and the others meant that killing iing ultra beasts would not be an issue, but there were going to be even more problems.

    Who knows what terrifying ultra beasts were going to be passing through here?

    Qin Feng had already prepared himself.

    He took out a crystalline bottle, poured out a few drops of clear fragrant liquid and smeared it on his hand!

    This of course was not any old perfume. It was the king-level tear flower¡¯s teardrop!

    It would be easy to dissuade even D-tier ultra beasts.

    Sure enough, after picking up the scent, the ultra beasts calmed down or avoided the smell.

    At this time, the hunting of the beast emperor also progressed smoothly.

    At a distance where Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness could not reach, several organizations were monitoring this entire situation with stealth drones!

    And they were sorely disappointed!

    ¡°The two didn¡¯t even fight!¡±

    ¡°I was waiting for Leitang to beat up Gao Yukang and then collect the spoils!¡±

    ¡°This is so boring.¡±

    Longchuan definitely was not a battlefield for Leitang and Gao Yukang. There were just too many people here!

 Chapter 397 - Talking About Working Together Again

    <h4>Chapter 397: Talking About Working Together Again</h4>

    Nevertheless, Gao Yukang choosing to work with Qin Feng was a stroke of brilliance!

    Not only that, a group consisting of forty D-tier aptitude users was a rare sight in Longchuan!

    Beside the hugeke, trees had been toppled, the grass and flowers trampled. Gao Yukang and the others were still fighting the Water Drakon Emperor in the mess of things.

    Three hours passed in the blink of an eye!

    ¡°Hressk...¡±

    The Water Drakon Emperor let out a long, drawn out roar as it unwillingly copsed to the ground.

    Boom!

    With such a huge body crashing down onto the ground, the impact would still give those around it a little scare.

    Gao Yukang¡¯s mercenary troop burst into smiles at the same time. While there had been no cheering, their joy was beyond words.

    It had been a thrilling experience and the end result was a good one.

    They took down a beast emperor level beast.

    At this time, Gao Yukang was already out of energy. By now, his internal force was depleted and he even used a lot of pills to support himself. The battle was finally over!

    ¡°Split the materials and get ready to fall back!¡±

    Gao Yukang waved his hand, then sat down cross-legged as he tried to revert his internal force to its original state.

    Qin Feng also gave an order, telling his gunners to spread out and guard the perimeter to prevent ultra beasts froming in to harass them.

    Thanks to the tears from the tear flower, no ultra beast approached them.

    It was going very smoothly.

    After half an hour, Gao Yukang and his team had already broken down the materials of the beast emperor.

    ¡°Qin Feng, do you n to get money or some beast materials?¡± Gao Yukang asked.

    ¡°100 billion power credits and 50 billions worth of materials. I want Dragon Blood!¡±

    Water Drakon blood was still Dragon Blood. It was usually expensive material but since it was difficult to maintain the Drakon Blood¡¯s effect so it was not as expensive. Gao Yukang also gave him some meat and a dragon scale that could probably be made into inner armor.

    Qin Feng was naturally satisfied.

    Both parties had benefited together.

    The Fengli Mercenary Troop began to retreat. In this battle, most people on the team had received money instead of materials. For them, some of these materials were no longer useful for them!

    Qin Feng gave them 1 billion each, which definitely counted as a lot of money!

    ¡°It¡¯s nice following a strong leader, I feel like I didn¡¯t do anything!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! I thought we were going to fight Leitang!¡±

    ¡°Huh, I wonder if it would be called a fight? The boss killed Xue Jinkuang after all!¡±

    Everyone was obviously satisfied with the current situation. The shadows that originally hung over the heads of these mutants had been mostly dispelled because of this mission.

    Sess always broughtughter.

    After wading through rivers and crossing mountains for three days, everyone finally reached the frontline¡¯s fortress, which was close to the guard post on the Longchuan Mountains¡¯ front line. The closest ce to them would be Longchuan¡¯s third colony.

    It was not very big, definitely not as big as Fengli and was smaller than Han Town when Qin Feng first encountered it.

    While there were not many people here, these people were all elites.

    Inadvertently, even a B-tier aptitude user could be seen.

    Naturally, with these people around, it meant that there was arge number of service staff, so the ce was not deserted.

    When Qin Feng and the others arrived on the main road near the fortress, they got into their hover copters and went to a hotel. For the past few days, there was not a ce to take a bath in and the stench of blood was still on their bodies which was definitely not good.

    Once they were cleaned up, everyone began to rx.

    Those who wanted a drink were ordering from the top shelf, some just crawled under a bed and slept like logs.

    However, Qin Feng was studying a map!

    The environment of the Longchuan Mountains was quiteplicated, but it had arge amount of ultra beasts hidden within it!

    He could effortlessly challenge beast kings, all he needed to do was find them.

    Thebined efforts of Bai Li and Qin Feng made it easy for them to fight D-tier beast kings but it also made some people green with envy.

    He could not just kill hispetitors in the wild either. Otherwise, the Human Alliance would try to investigate it.

    Lei Ying did such a thing everytime, but he never killed anyone. Just horribly injured them.

    Qin Feng thought about it for a while before picking up hismunicator, dialing Gao Yukang¡¯s number.

    ¡°Governor! Let¡¯s talk about the next time we¡¯ll be working together!¡± Qin Feng said in a brisk manner.

    Gao Yukang was lying in bed, feeling very tired. This kind of battle exhausted a lot of his energy, just this one fight and he might need to rest for a week!

    Upon hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words, he was taken aback!

    ¡°Next time? I¡¯m not even ready right now, I think I need a break. Besides, a more suitable beast emperor is probably already gone!¡±

    There were some beast emperors that had a whole brood of children!

    That was the kind of horror that should not be provoked and Gao Yukang did not n to do anything about them.

    But, he definitely misunderstood what Qin Feng meant.

    ¡°What I meant was, I¡¯ll be the main force this time. I hope that you could be the one to help out and scare offpetitors, Governor Gao!¡±

    Gao Yukang suddenly had a shocked expression.

    ¡°Qin Feng, if you y beast kings, I don¡¯t think you¡¯d be able to even pay for me appearing!¡±

    ¡°What? Kill beast kings? I can take on those kinds of monsters without anyone¡¯s help!¡±

    Gao Yukang was speechless for a moment, even as a C-tier, a D-tier beast king strength meant that they were not something that he could take down alone but when Qin Feng said it with such a casual manner, it made it seem easy.

    What Gao Yukang thought was incredible was Qin Feng¡¯s answer.

    ¡°You want to kill beast emperors?¡±

    ¡°Yup!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the goal?¡±

    ¡°How about the Ivory Crown Emperor?¡±*

    Gao Yukang almostughed at Qin Feng.

    ¡°You¡¯re kidding right?¡±

    ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m joking?¡±

    Gao Yukang helplessly furrowed his brow. ¡°I need to think about it. I¡¯ll give an answerter, not to mention, even if I wanted to kill the Ivory Crown Emperor, I need a whole week to recover!¡±

    ¡°No problem!¡±

    Qin Feng replied before both theirmunicators hung up.

    A few dayster, Gao Yukang still had not replied to Qin Feng¡¯s invitation. Qin Feng was not in a hurry, taking his mercenary troop into the mountains to fight ultra beasts every day.

    Compared to the other D-tiers in Longchuan Colony Three, the Fengli Mercenary Troop was a bit too diligent!

    Continuous, highly intense fights at the start of every day anding back withrge amounts of materials every time. People found it incredible!

    Although these materials might just be from standard D-tier ultra beasts, a small amount would umte into more and more. The speed of which the group was making money was astounding.

    Of course, if the other groups tried, they definitely would not be able to do it!

    The members of the Fengli Mercenary Troop had no concerns about their situation. They came from the frontline of Shadong Town, a ce where a crisis could ur at any moment. They were all people who fought desperately to defend it when it was in danger. Even if they did not leave the town, ultra beasts woulde knocking at their door and force them to fight.

    The current intensity ofbat was nothing to them.

    In just a week, the wealth of each individual Fengli Mercenary Troop member had increased to several hundred millions.

    ¡°Governor Gao, have you made your decision about my invitation to work together again?¡± Qin Feng once againmunicated face to face with Gao Yukang.

    Gao Yukang furrowed his brow and in the end, he shook his head and said, ¡°This Ivory Crown Emperor business, I think it¡¯s impossible! I cannot agree!¡±

    Trantor¡¯s Note: ¡®Ivory Crown Emperor¡¯ in the original text refers to an elephant-like ultra beast.

 Chapter 398 - Gao Yukangâ€™s Presumption

    <h4>Chapter 398: Gao Yukang¡¯s Presumption</h4>

    When Gao Yukang said it like that, he was worried that Qin Feng might have thought he was being unreasonable.

    ¡°Qin Feng, what I meant was that, maybe you should change targets?¡±

    ¡°No worries Governor Gao, when we work together again the next time you shouldn¡¯t worry so much!¡±

    Qin Feng knew what Gao Yukang was saying.

    He was skeptical about Qin Feng¡¯s ability to take down the Ivory Crown Emperor.

    This kind of ultra beast was part of the ssification that traveled in huge herds.

    The only reason why Leitang let go of Qin Feng and the others so easily was because they saw that they were being attacked by D-tier Ancient Elephants.

    They were afraid that the attack would draw the attention of the Beast Emperor!

    The Ivory Crown Emperor was the strongest emperor ss among all of the Ancient Elephant herds. It was twenty meters in height and had the body length of forty meters. It was the terrifying overlord of this mountain!

    This kind of creature was only hunted by well-prepared B-tiers.

    Even then, they were afraid they might get trampled to death!

    Qin Feng was only D-tier, Gao Yukang thought that he was being too arrogant.

    Qin Feng did not change his mind, the more he studied the maps, the more he felt like the idea was feasible.

    Since neither of them changed their minds, in the end the decision for another co-op outing was dropped.

    On the next day, Qin Feng took his mercenary troop and went deep into the mountains.

    When Lei Ying received the message for a second time, he began to sulk.

    ¡°President, should we follow them?¡± A subordinate asked.

    ¡°And for what? Come back with nothing?¡± He immediately bellowed, angry at his subordinate.

    The subordinate was so frightened that he did not say anything else other than, ¡°Yes, understood!¡±

    He quickly withdrew from Lei Ying¡¯s office to inform the others of his intentions.

    The Leitang Organization¡¯s people all looked at one another for a moment.

    ¡°This Qin Feng is way too strong!¡±

    ¡°He killed Lei Chang, based on the president¡¯s temper this person should have already been dead!¡±

    ¡°So we can¡¯t kill him now?¡±

    ¡°Shh, watch your mouth, don¡¯t let the President catch you saying that!¡±

    They knew just how bad it would be if their boss were to hear these words.

    Even if he did, Lei Ying merely let out a frustrated sigh.

    Five of his men were injured on the way back when they were being chased by ultra beasts and it would take them a month to recover. Lei Ying¡¯s frustration and sulking mood did not seem to want to go away.

    It was just that he understood that Qin Feng was not the type of person to be provoked.

    ¡°I just don¡¯t know if this kid¡¯s going to be a threat or not when he grows up!¡±

    His eyes were narrowed with uncertainty.

    He still had not made up his mind on whether or not to join forces with other people in order to kill Qin Feng!

    ***

    Out in the wilds of the Longchuan Mountain range, ultra beasts were gradually growing in numbers and slowing down the general approach.

    Qin Feng did not wish to have time wasted while they were on the road.

    ¡°Everyone stop! Get the front gunners to get back here too!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Everyone gathered and the gunners dropped down from the trees to join the group!

    He turned his gaze onto everyone.

    There were exactly forty D-tiers who had followed him. After a week of battling together, Qin Feng knew them very well!

    The most important thing was that these people would be Qin Feng¡¯s subordinates in the future and be extremely loyal to him!

    They were mutants. The Others. Only Qin Feng, who rescued them, could give them a sense of belonging.

    Qin Feng thought about it for a while and said, ¡°Before, I¡¯ve been hiding something and I hope that doesn¡¯t bother you. Of course, I assume that some of you would have already guessed it, so I don¡¯t want to hide this any longer!¡±

    He raised his hand, calling upon his consciousness as a fist-sized ck Dark rune appeared in on his fingertip.

    ¡°When I awakened, I received two abilities. The second one was the Dark ability, but because the Dark ability was special I only revealed my Fire ability!¡±

    The people of the mercenary troop saw the Dark rune in Qin Feng¡¯s hand and were taken aback. Some finally had a sense of realization while some were genuinely surprised and some were impressed.

    A mutated Blue Peacock Fire was already impressive but having two abilities could only be a miracle!

    ¡°I used to think that ¡®Yeah, Boss¡¯ fire has a weird color¡¯ and that he kept calling it ¡®Hellfire¡¯. I thought it was just a mutated Fire ability, but it¡¯s been a fusion this whole time?¡±

    ¡°Boss, this isn¡¯t concealment. It¡¯s called having an ace up your sleeve!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! The Dark ability is just a power, what¡¯s important is who uses it that matters!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction when he saw everyone¡¯s reaction.

    When Qin Feng awakened, he did not expose his abilities because the people of the Z Organization were like sharp des hanging over his head. He was worried that he was not strong enough and those people had ill-intentions, so he did not want to make the same mistake.

    Now, he was very powerful and had no need to hide it.

    What was more, a week ago, he fought against Thunder Knife who also used the Dark ability. Since his opponent used it so openly, why could he not do the same?

    ¡°Okay, that¡¯s all I wanted to say. Gather around a bit closer for now, I¡¯ll use the Dark ability to hide us and speed up our journey!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s n was a big one and it needed a lot of time.

    No other team had paid them much attention but once Qin Feng took action, the news would spread.

    What he wanted to do was make the time difference, as it would take people three days to reach their current position from the colony once the news had circted.

    That was why Qin Feng wanted to arrive faster!

    His conversation with Gao Yukang earlier was not confidential either, it was better to be safe than sorry!

    ¡°Lets go!¡±

    Once he gave the order, the Dark ability floated from his body and shrouded everyone like a faint mist.

    While they could see their surroundings with no issues, the ultra beasts would no longer be able to detect their auras unless they were in close proximity. They would only feel and look like a shadow!

    Their speed had also greatly increased.

    With Qin Feng leading the way, it only took them twenty four hours to reach their destination.

    It was a canyon that was sixty meters deep but only thirty meters wide. The length of the canyon was about three hundred meters and its walls were made out of an extremely hard and special material.

    The ores here were even E-tier materials!

    What was more, there was a terrifying Steel-Limb Broodmother that lived here!

    Of course, it was not like the F-tier that Qin Feng fought in Han Town but a D-tier!

    A D-tier Insectoid Broodmother.

    ¡°Now, I¡¯ll tell you the n!¡± Qin Feng said as he unfolded the map on hismunicator.

    ¡°My goal this time is the Ivory Crown Emperor. It has a herd of around two thousand, a massive group. Therefore, this time we¡¯ll be using this terrain to set up an ambush!¡±

    Everyone was listening attentively to his n.

    While Gao Yukang had no confidence in him, he had these people¡¯s undying confidence.

 Chapter 399 - Set Into Action

    <h4>Chapter 399: Set Into Action</h4>

    They had seen Qin Feng fight Yan Shuo before.

    Yan Shuo¡¯s Titanblood mutation meant that his strength was almost on the same level as a D-tier beast emperor. What was more, there was also the mysterious and unpredictable Bai Li who had spatial maniption.

    Besides, Qin Feng was never without a n.

    Once he told them his n, they believed that he could carry it out.

    ¡°Now, prepare to clear the canyon of steel-limb spiders!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±

    Everyone responded in unison.

    The ancient warriors changed to the appropriate weapons while the gunners pulled out their pyrotechnic guns and everyone arranged themselves into a battle formation!

    Qin Feng even wrapped Dark runes around them so they would not get swarmed by arge number of spiders.

    As soon as they entered, everyone saw D-tier steel-limb spiders that were five meters in size and arge group of E-tier steel-limb spiders that were three meters in size.

    The entire canyon was covered in spider web.

    ¡°Pwhoom!¡±

    The pyrotechnic guns spewed out mes, burning away all the spider webs. Hundreds of steel-limb spiders detected movement and began to approach.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    Qin Feng had made his move!

    Hundreds of meters in front of them were surrounded by mes!

    Arge thread of steel-limb spider silktched onto the canyon wall as a spider swung itself toward the group, dropping down from the air.

    He raised his hand, and unleashed a Firebeam.

    A column of me that was a meter in diameter shot out and instantly knocked the spider away.

    This was only the beginning.

    Following that were countless steel-limb spiders dropping down from the sky.

    Bai Li cracked her whip and silver light covered the area above them.

    Now they did not need to worry about spiders falling on their heads!

    The ughter continued!

    Qin Feng continued to press inward as the steel-limb spiders were getting devastated, their lives snuffed out.

    The Dark ability seemed to be everywhere, Qin Feng was consuming the energy of the Spiders after they died but the growth of his body was very slow.

    After all, if he wanted to rank-up at this point of time, he would have to consume a lot of ultra beasts to do it!

    These steel-limb spiders were just appetizers.

    Soon, he reached the center of the canyon and saw a huge spider web that stretched up to fifty meters as it connected from wall to widest wall.

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a murderous bellow.

    The people around him were frantically fighting as countless spiders were rushing in and hindering their path!

    Qin Feng rushed out of the crowd, carving a path as he got closer and closer to the Steel-Limb Broodmother beast king!

    Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters!

    ¡°Fire Dragon Technique!¡±

    Qin Feng condensed his consciousness before unleashing a huge fiery dragon that soared into the sky. The broodmother¡¯s nest was immediately burned away and the broodmother itself was entangled by the fire dragon.

    Boom!

    The fire dragon exploded, wounding the broodmother beast king!

    It was a powerful attack that came from the powerful consciousness of a D-tier beast emperor.

    ¡°Fiery Peacock!¡±

    Dozens of ming peacocks began to appear, constantly rushing and pouncing on the Steel-Limb Broodmother.

    The beast king tried its best to run away, steadily retreating.

    But how could Qin Feng just let it run away?

    The Verdant Emperor Saber appeared in his hands.

    ¡°Burning Skies!¡±

    His internal force burst out with a terrifying aura!

    A de of light rose up into the air before piercing through the D-tier Steel-Limb Broodmother beast king¡¯s abdomen!

    in!

    He hadpletely crushed and dealt with the broodmother!

    The very moment the broodmother died, it was as if a signal was spread throughout the entire canyon and the countless spiders no longer tried to attack but instead scattered themselves.

    Abruptly, there were no more ultra beasts in this huge canyon. Only corpses from what they had killed and materials they had yet to pick up!

    The sky was already getting dark.

    ¡°Clear the battlefield, set the mines and rest for the first half of the night, prepare for an attack on the second half!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±

    There was noint in everyone¡¯s response.

    Bibibi!

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator rang.

    It was news from Gao Yukang.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you going to kill the Steel-Limb Broodmother beast king in that big canyon?¡± Gao Yukang asked.

    ¡°Mhm, yeah!¡±

    ¡°Haha, it should have been like this a while ago. With your strength, if you reach C-tier, you¡¯ll definitely be able to defeat D-tier beast emperors. Don¡¯t worry!¡± Gao Yukang thought that Qin Feng had changed his mind and decided to not fight the Ivory Crown Emperor.

    Qin Feng smiled faintly, naturally not telling Gao Yukang that the broodmother was already dead and he had only just begun his n.

    ¡°It just so happens that my team¡¯s heading out into the wild again. I think we¡¯re going deeper this time around to look for another beast emperor. When you¡¯re done on your side, you can join us and we¡¯ll split the profits!¡±

    ¡°That depends on the situation, there might be casualties on my side!¡±

    ¡°Well, actually, I think you can just bring yourself!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled again. ¡°That¡¯s fine too!¡±

    The two went on with idle conversation before hanging up.

    Gao Yukang was strong and conceited, but Qin Feng did not want to exin anything!

    Everything was best exined with facts!

    An hourter, the materials were ounted for.

    Two hourster, the mines had been set in their designated locations. They valued up to 50 billion.

    The rewards of this hunt would be ten times that amount, so it was worth the risk.

    Besides, Qin Feng could pay off that 50 billion from his coffers.

    By midnight, everyone had rested for about four to five hours. They were full of energy, excited even.

    They were hunting a beast emperor together, moreover, theirmander was not even C-tier.

    An equal ying field tended to heighten spirits and raise the stakes.

    Qin Feng exuded Dark runes from his body and his whole person looked like he had melted away into darkness.

    He had already figured out where the elephant herd was, but the distance was beyond three peaks away.

    In the blink of an eye, he and Bai Li appeared there.

    In fact, the Ivory Crown Emperor was guarding this ce due to an extremely rare spirit herb here!

    Moon-tempered cress!

    This special kind of spirit herb had a peculiar effect. So long as someone was illuminated under moonlight, their training speed would increase extremely fast.

    Moreover, the effect might be permanent!

    On the battle, it was stated that a person who had obtained this spirit herb could maintain the effects of rapid cultivation for twenty years!

    However, since it did not directly increasebat effectiveness, it was far less attractive to humans as it was not something that was a truly game-changing spirit herb that deserved attention.

    The Ivory Crown Emperor was also so powerful that it did not seem like it was worth it.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li walked into the forest where the elephant herd was located. This piece ofnd was t and had a small slope, it was more like a huge valley. Thousands of giant elephants were gathered here, not evenrge trees could be able to block their path.

    There was a mild aura here that would have made any other person uneasy.

    This was not a problem for Qin Feng or Bai Li.

    ¡°Oh, there¡¯s something good!¡±

    Bai Li sniffed the air before disappearing with a swish.

    The Moon-tempered cress attracted moonlight, making it fall into the forest like a white beam.

    The moment Bai Li disappeared, so did the white beam of light!

    Qin Feng instantly felt a terrifying aura rush right up to his face!

 Chapter 400 - Lei Ying was Caught by Surprise

    <h4>Chapter 400: Lei Ying was Caught by Surprise</h4>

    The Ivory Crown Emperor¡¯s howl quaked thend.

    In the dark, several giant figures lumped together as they were rushing toward the same direction¡ªwhere Qin Feng was at.

    This was because Bai Li had reappeared beside Qin Feng with a spirit herb two times the size of bamboo shoots in her hand. She munched the herb instinctively.

    Chomp!

    Energy immediately emanated around Bai Li. Qin Feng managed to benefit from the released energy even by just standing beside her.

    ¡°It¡¯s crispy and nice.¡± Bai Li handed over the herb to Qin Feng. Qin Feng chewed on it but his teeth were met by great resistance.

    Fortunately, Qin Feng¡¯s had all his body parts strengthened and his teeth were exceptionally tough. He tightened his jaw further and eventually bit through the moon-tempered cress.

    Energy soon gushed into his limbs and triggered Asteroid Assimtion. The energy influx was absorbed directly by his body and turned into a liquefied inner power that sank deep into his dantian.

    ¡®This is awesome!¡¯

    But this was not the time to take another bite.

    Rumble!

    The elephant herd was right in front of their eyes now.

    ¡°Let¡¯s move!¡±

    Silver radiance embodied Bai Li and Qin Feng and teleported them a thousand miles away.

    Chomp! Chomp!

    It was bewildering that Bai Li could still find the time to take another two quick bites. The herb¡¯s energy would slowly diminish once it was bitten so it was best to finish it off quickly.

    The Ivory Crown Emperor located them instantly and once again charged at them furiously.

    Their humongous bodies shattered the rocks in their path effortlessly and stormed forward intimidatingly.

    Boom! Boom!

    nts were blown apart where the Ivory Crown Emperor passed through. One step of the giant elephant was equivalent to a few hundred miles. They caught up to Qin Feng and Bai Li in roughly ten steps.

    More horrifyingly, the Ivory Crown Emperor was followed by an enormous herd of ¡°angry mobs¡±.

    Bai Li teleported again. She skipped through three hills in the blink of an eye.

    As the silver sh faded, Qin Feng and Bai Li arrived at the front of a group of soldiers hovering in the air on an electronic glider inside a canyon.

    ¡°Here theye!¡±

    ¡°Get ready!¡±

    The emperor soon arrived, with its entire tribe followed closely.

    Qin Feng backed in further into the canyon.

    The Ivory Crown Emperor did the same and blocked the entire narrow entryway with its gigantic figure.

    ¡°Stall it, let the herde closer.¡±

    ¡°Roger!¡±

    Bai Li swung her Spatial Whip and elicited multiple silver explosions. The space-time distortion generated by the explosioncerated the beast, who was marching forward steadily.

    Baraag!

    The Ivory Crown Emperor unleashed its force and repelled the space rift.

    On the other side, Qin Feng concentrated his consciousness.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    A giant fire dragon ascended to the sky. It was a scene not seen by many of the Fengli mercenaries.

    This was because Qin Feng had never showcased it before to hide his true ability.

    The fire dragon dove and pounded on the Ivory Crown Emperor. Upon impact, even the humongous elephant was being forced back. The remaining hairs on its body werepletely burned off by the fire.

    The Ivory Crown Emperor was infuriated and swung his trunk toward Qin Feng¡¯s direction. Its action stirred up a strong air current that blew Qin Feng, who tried to withstand it with his inner strength, miles away.

    But Qin Feng got what he was aiming for. The dy had allowed the herd to catch up to their emperor.

    The entire canyon was now crowded by the elephant herd.

    Several thousand elephants rushed into the canyon chasing after the scent of the moon-tempered cress.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li levitated to a higher altitude.

    ¡°Blow it!¡±

    Under hismand, one of his mercenaries pushed the button. Tremendous explosive waves soon erupted inside the canyon.

    It was a horrible scene to behold.

    The two peaks beside the canyon were brought down by the giant explosion. Sliding rocks from the hills served as the second wave of attack.

    Such a loud bang in the middle of the night sent terror to everyone within the vicinity.

    Those residing nearby could either hear or feel the terrifying existence.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±

    ¡°Someone is hunting the beast emperor!¡±

    ¡°The elephants?!¡±

    The news broke out and immediately caused an uproar.

    ¡°Who is daring enough to provoke the almighty Ivory Crown Emperor? Not only that but it seems they are close to pulling this off?!¡±

    At least, the scale of the explosion was breathtaking.

    The entire canyon was shrouded by a dust cloud.

    The explosives installed by Qin Feng were all sma bombs. Therge area explosion had surely taken out most of the elephants.

    Though the Ivory Crown Emperor was not heavily injured, it was still stuck in a tight spot being pressed by boulders.

    Qin Feng made no dy and unleashed his powerful ability.

    ¡°Dark Pir!¡±

    Instantly, a dark cloud emerged out of thin air. Then, a dark light beamed down from the cloud and showered directly on the Ivory Crown Emperor¡¯s body.

    This skill is a modified version of Decaying Rain used by Wraith Devil, a monster Qin Feng encountered in Pingyun before.

    The pir gradually increased in diameter until it hadpletely covered the elephant emperor.

    Qin Feng could feel that his Absorption ability had started running rapidly to draw the energy from the Ivory Crown Emperor into his body.

    The Ivory Crown Emperor was weakened gradually. This signified that the beast was losing its power.

    Qin Feng might be unable to handle the Ivory Crown Emperor at its peak but it was a different story now.

    On the other hand, a weakened Ivory Crown Emperor would be no match to Bai Li, who was a C-tier beast emperor.

    The Ivory Crown Emperor could only growl grudgingly in the face of two mighty opponents.

    Those from the Fengli Mercenary Troop waited for the dust to settle and returned into the canyon.

    They swiftly put down any elephant remaining alive after the explosion like a wolf pack eating into a herd of sheep.

    Simultaneously, the news continued to spread through the Human Alliancework.

    ***

    Lei Ying was thirsty to kill after he was being woken up in the middle of the night.

    ¡°Marvelous! Stay in the colony. I will be going by myself this time.¡±

    Lei Ying departed from Colony Three but it was already toote for him to stop Qin Feng from killing the Ivory Crown Emperor.

    That was not his n anyway. This time, he nned to finish off Qin Feng for good.

    Though he said that he would be heading there alone, he had secretlymunicated with four other C-tier users.

    The five of them could still earn 100 billion per person after they had robbed the Ivory Crown Emperor from Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    Not many could resist such a good opportunity.

    They were not the only ones that had received the news. Gao Yukang was equally shocked by the news that Qin Feng had taken up the challenge without his knowledge. Not only that but Qin Feng had chosen to fight during the night that was full of uncertainty.

    But if he could indeed pull this off, then picking the night seemed wise in hindsight.

    The others probably would not dare toe recklessly during the night, where dangers were lurking everywhere.

    Beep! Beep! Beep!

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator was ringing but he did not have the time to answer it. He was still focusing on the battle.

    Four hourster, the sky brightened up and the gigantic Ivory Crown Emperor had finally sumbed to Qin Feng. The emperor plunged and leaned on the side of the hill. Its body was too huge to lie down on the canyon.

    The battle hade to its end.

    The most valuable items on the Ivory Crown Emperor were its ivory, skin to be used medicinally, and finally its power core.

    ¡®What a rewarding night!¡¯

 Chapter 401 - Switch Target

    <h4>Chapter 401: Switch Target</h4>

    ¡°Retreat at once!¡±

    Qin Feng did not dissect the mammoth but asked Bai Li to pack the entire body into her space.

    The others were not surprised by this as they already knew that Qin Feng owned a capacious Spatial Rune Equipment.

    Spatial Rune Equipment was a vital item for D-tiers. If they could not find arge enough Spatial Equipment, they wouldpensate for theck of space by simply bringing more storage equipment.

    The group retreated from the canyon being protected by Qin Feng¡¯s dark runes.

    Monsters would not detect them while Qin Feng would also evade those who might have rushed here to mug them off their rewards. They reached Longchuan¡¯s Colony Three within a day.

    They were considered safe once inside the colony.

    No matter how powerful Lei Ying was, he would not stir trouble inside a colony.

    Lei Ying was furious after he learned that his targets had all moved back into the colony without harm.

    He could not believe that he was going to go back empty-handed.

    Qin Feng then remembered Gao Yukang¡¯s missed call and proceeded to call him back.

    Gao Yukang answered the call hastily but was first stunned by the surroundings where Qin Feng was at.

    ¡°You are back in the colony camp?¡±

    The framework and construction in Qin Feng¡¯s background were the ones that could only be found in a civilized colony.

    ¡°Yeap. We are back.¡±

    ¡°I thought you were just having a battle near the big canyon? How did you make it back so quick?¡±

    No matter how you see it, Qin Fengpleted the task one day ahead of the projected time. ¡®How did he manage to return to the colony this quick?¡¯

    ¡°It¡¯s a secret.¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    Gao Yukang was speechless. But he soon thought about something andughed. ¡°I heard that Lei Ying tried to corner you at the canyon after you killed the Ivory Crown Emperor. Now that you are back in the colony, I can imagine how distorted his face would be when he realized he has run into nothing.¡±

    Qin Feng frowned as he heard that. ¡°Corner me? How many people did he bring?¡±

    ¡°Han Chengming, Liu Yi, Wang Jian, and someone from the Dark Coalition called Liu Bei.¡±

    Qin Feng was shocked to hear thest name. Liu Bei, as he recalled, was an A-tier ancient warrior of the Dark Coalition in the future.

    Lei Ying was indeed trying to kill him at all costs.

    Qin Feng grew gloomier. ¡°Governor, stay alert.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Do you think Lei Ying and his partners in crime would just turn back home happily after gaining nothing? You, of all people, should know that Lei Ying is not the type that would give up easily.¡±

    ***

    In the meantime, near the Longchuan mountains, Lei Ying and his co. were still half a day away from the big canyon. To their surprise, Qin Feng had already returned to the colony.

    ¡°Sh*t!¡±

    ¡°This is a waste of time!¡±

    ¡°What sorcery did that brat used to reach the colony in such a short time?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the use of dwelling on that now?¡±

    They were all exasperated. Lei Ying¡¯s mood was the worst among them.

    ¡°I know that Gao Yukang has just departed. Since we are already here, why not ambush him instead?¡±

    It was just a switch of the target from Qin Feng to Gao Yukang.

    Han Chengming and Liu Yi hesitated. They might be confident in bullying a D-tier aptitude user but going up against Gao Yukang was not something they had signed up for.

    Liu Bei, on the other hand, sneered and said, ¡°It¡¯s all the same to me. It would be too bad if my de does not get to taste blood tonight.¡±

    Those who had hesitated earlier were stunned by such a notion and decided to acquiesce the operation.

    At C-tier, even if Liu Bei was someone from the Dark Coalition, nobody would refuse to cooperate with such a reliable ally.

    Liu Bei was a prodigy. It was also because of his talent that he behaved unscrupulously and violently. His infamous character had caused him to be exiled from colonies belonging to the Human Alliance.

    Liu Bei studied and practiced the dark art. That made him look like he was seventeen years old while in fact, he was already twenty seven.

    Reaching C-tier at the age of twenty seven meant that his talent was even higher than that of Gao Yukang¡¯s.

    ¡°Let¡¯s roll!¡± Lei Ying said in a deep voice. The others nodded and five of them changed their direction toward Gao Yukang.

    ***

    Gao Yukang¡¯s brows were deeply furrowed now.

    He made fun of Lei Ying whilepletely forgetting about the possibility that he could very well be their next target. That was highly probable as Lei Ying held a grudge over him after Gao Yukang had publicly opposed him just recently.

    ¡°This toxic bastard!¡± Gao Yukang trembled in anger.

    As suspected by the Leitang Organization, another member of Gao Yukang¡¯s party had just attained C-tier status. Nheless, two C-tiers in his party would stille up a little short aspared to the small group heading their way now.

    Gao Yukang looked at Qin Feng on hismunicator¡¯s screen. ¡°Qin Feng, if you could rush back to the colony in one and a half days, then I believe you can reach me in time too. If we need to sh with Lei Ying, then I will pay you 100 billion after this. If not, you will get the chance to hunt another beast emperor. We will split 4:6. Deal?¡±

    This was a much better offer than the previous one.

    ¡°Deal!¡± Qin Feng agreed without much hesitation.

    After working for three days straight, the Fengli mercenaries were exhausted. They stayed back to dissect the Ivory Crown Emperor and split the loot for sale. Qin Feng only brought Bai Li with him this time to the Longchuan mountains.

    Longchuan wasrge but Qin Feng and Bai Li could move quickly through Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability. They caught up to Lei Ying¡¯s troop in less than a day.

    Qin Feng scanned them from afar and roughly grasped the strength of the five-man troop.

    Gao Yukang¡¯s party had two C-tiers. Qin Feng and Bai Li were C-tiers, too. It might appear to be a four vs. five battle but Qin Feng was confident that his side would emerge victorious.

    This was because Bai Li was no ordinary C-tier.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li skipped ahead to rendezvous with Gao Yukang.

    At the exact same moment, Lei Ying sensed something and raised his head toward the point where Qin Feng had just disappeared from.

    ¡°What? You sensed something?¡±

    ¡°I sensed a familiar force. But it disappeared too quickly for me to identify who that might be.¡±

    Every aptitude user¡¯s consciousness was different but it was still hard to distinguish them with such a short contact.

    Regardless, Lei Ying could not shake the bad feeling lingering in his mind.

    Half a dayter, Lei Ying and co. finally reached Gao Yukang¡¯s party.

    They heard the loud noise of battle as soon as they closed in.

    The group was baffled at first but immediately realized what was happening.

    ¡°Gao Yukang must have guessed our intention and decided to hunt down the beast preemptively.¡±

    ¡°But we still made it on time!¡±

    ¡°Gao Yukang, you have Qin Feng to me for your downfall!¡±

    Lei Ying snickered and signaled to the others. Lightning began to cover his body.

    sh!

    He immediately burst into speed. The other four were ancient warriors and had learned qinggong. They stayed close behind Lei Ying.

    The five-man group charged straight toward the battle.

    Awoo!

    Boom Boom Boom!

    The beast emperor shrieked for onest time and the battle sound abruptly ended after that.

    Lei Ying¡¯s group reached the battlefield almost at the same time the beast had fallen.

    The battle took ce at a valley between two mountains. The entire ce was stained with fresh blood.

    A giant beast was seen lying at the center of the valley.

    ¡°Beast emperor!¡± Lei Ying was excited and prepared to lunge down.

 Chapter 402 - Ecliptic Rift

    <h4>Chapter 402: Ecliptic Rift</h4>

    This was when another figure came into Lei Ying¡¯s sight.

    Tall build, handsome feature, and the vibe that did not belong to someone this young.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    Lei Ying felt that someone had just punched him in the gut. His worst fear was proven right. It was indeed Qin Feng that had passed by them earlier. More shockingly, he had reached half-a-day earlier than they did.

    Lei Ying had not been this annoyed and infuriated for a very long time.

    Qin Feng grinned and greeted him, ¡°What a coincidence, President Lei.¡±

    The corner of Lei Ying¡¯s eye twitched out of anger.

    ¡®Coincidence my ass.¡¯

    The others, on the contrary, were delighted to see Qin Feng here.

    ¡°Well, well, this saves us the trouble of looking for him,¡± Han Chengming infused internal force into his voice so that the others could hear him.

    ¡°So this is Qin Feng. Great! Instead of making Gao Yukang our enemy, let¡¯s just kill Qin Feng. The others would not be able to stop us,¡± Liu Yi said in response.

    Wang Jian said nothing but he had locked on Qin Feng as well. He was ready tounch an attack anytime.

    Liu Bei was the only one who said, ¡°Kill them both!¡± He came from the Dark Coalition and was a vicious man. He had nothing to lose so he had no restraint. Liu Bei could not care less about what others thought. He would do this his way.

    ¡°Gao Yukang, give up on the beast emperor!¡± Han Chengming was the first to shout at them. He covered himself with a shield made with his internal force and dashed toward Gao Yukang.

    Nheless, his true target was Qin Feng. The same went for Liu Yi and Wang Jian.

    Lei Ying was sullen but his urge to kill surpassed any other mood he had right now. He ordered, ¡°Do it!¡±

    ¡®Qin Feng must die!¡¯

    But Lei Ying had a hunch. They might not be able to kill him today.

    After Lei Ying¡¯s order, the four C-tier ancient warriors demonstrated their qinggong and charged toward Qin Feng simultaneously.

    This was when a body appeared in front of Qin Feng.

    It was Bai Li!

    Crack!

    Bai Lished out the silver whip in her hand toward the four assaulters.

    A blinding silver light immediately covered a hundred-meter radius.

    Spatial rifts then emerged spontaneously like a monster maw trying to rip the flesh off its targets.

    ¡°Be careful, it¡¯s spatial ability!¡±

    Lei Ying instantly alerted the others.

    Your enemy was sometimes the one that knew you best.

    Due to the previous defeat, Lei Ying went back and did his research, especially on Bai Li. This was the person that had caused him to lose an arm. Even though he managed to restore his arm with rare herbs, it was not aplished without paying a great price.

    So it was only logical that he had paid extra attention to such powerful foes.

    However, he still knew only a little about Bai Li¡¯s ability and thought it all came from the silver whip in her hand. That was why Lei Ying was coveting the powerful weapon.

    The other four persons were shocked when they heard Lei Ying¡¯s warning and reflexively released their inner strength to repel the approaching spatial runes.

    Though they managed to fend off the rift, it cost them a lot of energy. Besides, since they needed to watch their steps, the assaulters slowed down considerably.

    Bai Li was not going to let such an opportunity slip.

    Spatial Rift!

    Bai Li unleashed more of her ability.

    Simultaneously, Qin Feng also raised his hand and a dark light promptly emerged.

    Dark Laser!

    The four rays traveled in a straight line and hit the four of them, respectively.

    Suddenly, as if their inner powers were being eroded and had disappeared bit by bit.

    ¡°It¡¯s Dark Ability!¡± Lei Ying warned again.

    Lei Li might be dead but Lei Ying had experienced the same horror of Dark Ability before.

    Now, Qin Feng could release the power simply by raising his hand. Such a drastic improvement in a short span was baffling.

    Qin Feng was truly an unpredictable person.

    The two sides got tangled in a chaotic battle. Qin Feng, Bai Li, and Zheng Qian from Gao Yukang¡¯s party against Lei Ying¡¯s five-man group. Thetter did not gain the upper hand even with the number advantage.

    Gao Yukang¡¯s fight was not over either. He was going to deal the final blow to the heavily injured beast emperor.

    All of a sudden, everyone¡¯smunicator began to vibrate violently apanied by a piercing rm.

    Buzz! A supernova rift is going to appear!

    Buzz! Please retreat to safety! Please retreat to safety!

    Buzz! Danger level A! Danger level A! Retreat at once!

    They were all stunned by the prompt notification.

    Later, the entire ce was darkened. Something had appeared above them and blocked off the light.

    They looked up and saw that arge dark circle had shaded the sun.

    ¡°Rift!!!!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a spatial tunnel!¡±

    It was not a rift but a f*cking passagewayrge enough to cover the sun.

    The scenario highly resembled a sr eclipse.

    Afterward, something unbeknown to them came out from the other side of the colossal spatial tunnel.

    It looked like a reverse cone.

    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Everyone was baffled.

    Qin Feng was the only one who trembled in fear. He knew everything about the big events that had taken ce in his past life.

    In this year, the powerful Grans had arrived at Earth through the spatial rift. About ten thousand of them came with their floating castle.

    The almighty Grans effortlessly demolished Longchuan with better soldiers and more advanced technologies.

    The Human Alliance¡¯s fortresses were brought down one after another. Longchuan that was developing well before was wiped off the map overnight. Along with its downfall, few hundreds of C-tiers paid their lives protecting Longchuan. They had also lost two B-tiers in the process.

    One of them was none other than Gao Yukang.

    Because of this memory, Qin Feng vowed to help Gao Yukang to escape his fate when he came to Longchuan.

    Unfortunately, the incident had urred prematurely.

    Qin Feng somehow knew this wasing. Bai Li¡¯s excessive use of her spatial ability must have sped up the whole process.

    But Qin Feng would not reveal this and he would not be sorry for it.

    Right now, there was only one thing to be done.

    Run!

    ¡°Bai Li, we need to flee. Now!¡± Qin Feng shouted instantaneously. Bai Li was still busy fighting Han Chengming but left the battle graciously without much trouble after she heard Qin Feng.

    ¡°Governor, time to run!¡± Qin Feng shouted to Gao Yukang.

    However, Gao Yukang only hastened his attacks on the monster.

    ¡°You guys leave first. I will catch upter.¡± Gao Yukang was still obsessed with the beast emperor. He was not going to let the beast emperor slide after the hard fought battle.

    This beast emperor was the very reason they were here now. Gao Yukang refused to give up on the money that was already halfway into his pocket.

    Thinking of this, Gao Yukang¡¯s hands moved even faster than before.

    ¡°We are not leaving too!¡± Gao Yukang¡¯s underlings said, ¡°With our help, we can finish this off quicker!¡±

    ¡°Very well, move your ass then, boys!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face could not be any redder. ¡°For f*ck¡¯s sake! Do you all have a death wish!?¡±

 Chapter 403 - The Destructive Army of Grans

    <h4>Chapter 403: The Destructive Army of Grans</h4>

    ¡°Qin Feng, if you spend your energy on working rather than talking, perhaps the beast emperor would already be dead by now!¡±

    ¡°Bai Li!¡± Qin Feng growled.

    Bai Li immediately understood what Qin Feng wanted. She jumped forward like a sh and punched at the D-tier beast emperor¡¯s body without reserve using her outrageous physical strength.

    Boom!

    Instantly, the beast was sent flying a few hundred meters backward.

    Bai Li chased up and gave it another punch before itnded.

    Boom!

    Another few hundred meters.

    In the blink of an eye, Bai Li had gone far together with the beast emperor¡¯s body. Others quickly followed behind her. This included Lei Ying and his small group.

    Who would not want to get the raw beast materials?

    Qin Feng¡¯s main purpose was to chase them all out from this very spot.

    The supernova rift on top of them was the biggest threat.

    The Floating City descended rapidly. Its size, which was equivalent to the area of a small colony, was something to behold.

    With the city getting closer to thend, numerous figures were seen flying out from the floating isle.

    Grans were born with wings.

    They possessed expandable bones and grew wings with it. The protruding bones covered only by the skin was a rather peculiar sight.

    Though they did resemble humans in terms of appearance, their eyes were more bloated like a ping-pong ball.

    If they appeared before the apocalypse, then Grans would definitely be mistaken as aliens for their eerie outlook.

    But now humans knew that Grans were just another intelligent speciesing from an unknown dimension.

    This species was much stronger than humans in the current state.

    Theymunicated using unrecognizable sybles and came right after the running humans.

    Apparently, their first target on this would be another intelligent species. Humans served as good candidates to be enved.

    At least three troops of Grans dived down toward the humans. Each troop was formed by about ten soldiers estimated to be at least C-tier.

    ¡°Ah! Beasts!¡±

    ¡°Run!¡±

    ¡°They areing after us!¡±

    The Gunners had not retreated from their spot from the battle earlier and became the first targets of the Grans.

    A D-tier aptitude user had his neck grabbed by one of the Grans. The monster tried to lift him up but the aptitude user resisted frantically. The dposition ster in the user¡¯s hand fired a destructive re toward the Gran.

    Woom!

    A force shield wrapped around the Gran promptly to protect it from the st. The monster was aggravated seeing that the lowly human dared to assault it.

    Crack!

    The neck of the D-tier gunner was snapped and broken by the Gran.

    Human life was indeed fragile. The D-tier gunner was killed just like that.

    The other gunners were furious when they saw what happened to theirrades. But their anger was soon drowned by fear. They were afraid of the brutality of the more superior life form.

    They tried to run, but none was able to escape from being in mercilessly.

    The five fallen gunners were Gao Yukang¡¯s trusted underlings.

    Gao Yukang¡¯s group was made up of about twenty members. All of them were elites under the Human Alliance.

    Gao Yukang was infuriated to see five of his men falling this easily in the unknown enemies¡¯ hands.

    ¡°Bastard!¡±

    ¡°Governor, calm down. Bring your men and flee at once. Do you wish to sacrifice the rest of your troop as well?¡± Qin Feng once again tried to talk some sense into Gao Yukang. He infused his voice with great internal force and the resonance was deafening.

    Gao Yukang¡¯s eyes were tinged with redness but his re remained. He gritted and shouted, ¡°Retreat!¡±

    The remaining survivors were all ancient warriors and they ran away at full speed.

    ¡°Calling Longchuan city! Calling Longchuan city! A supernova rift has been spotted. Danger level A-tier. Lockdown the town immediately. Lock it down!¡± Gao Yukang bellowed toward hismunicator.

    Everyone on the scene was scrambling for their lives. They could not care less about the beasts that they might disturb inside the Longchuan mountains.

    Bai Li was sprinting too. She finished off the beast emperor and threw it inside her spatial storage.

    But nobody cared about the beast emperor now.

    However, no matter how fast they ran, humans were unable to outpace the flying Grans.

    The Grans flew over and grabbed on another D-tier ancient warrior.

    Crack! Crack!

    All the limbs of the ancient warrior were debilitated and he was thrown into the bush. If he were still alive, then he would be brought back as a ve. If he did not survive, then he was just an insignificant prey in a hunting game for the Grans.

    The Grans leashed out a creepyugh. To them, all this chasing and killing of inferior species was just a form of entertainment.

    ¡°Scums!¡± Gao Yukang was further angered by what he witnessed.

    This was when one of the Grans dived and tried to seize an aptitude user near Gao Yukang.

    Gao Yukang could no longer tolerate and unleashed a heavy attack.

    Boom!

    His enormous inner power was channeled through the weapon in his hand and promptly shattered the force shield covering the Grans.

    ¡°Die!¡± Gao Yukang yelled and wanted to kill the monster.

    Other Grans sensed the danger befalling theirrade and turned aggressive. They simultaneously dived toward Gao Yukang.

    Dark Shroud!

    A terrifying dark mist arose out of thin air and instantly shrouded arge area.

    Everything became invisible inside the darkness. The mist also robbed away the perceptual ability of all living things engulfed by it.

    Qin Feng was the only one able to see in the dark. He also insted Gao Yukang from the dark runes within the mist.

    ¡°Governor, let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng appeared in front of Gao Yukang and grabbed his arm. He forcefully dragged Gao Yukang away from the battlefield.

    Gao Yukang wished to fight the Grans and tried hard to free himself from Qin Feng¡¯s grip. To his surprise, Qin Feng¡¯s strength was too strong for him.

    Two of them ran out from the mist but not longter, the Grans once again caught up to them.

    Not only that but more Grans were seen flying out from the Floating City at the back. Those who looked back saw nothing but despair.

    ¡°Quick, run into the Frosty Peak!¡± Gao Yukang shouted.

    Frosty Peak was one of the unknown dimensions under the jurisdiction of Niumeng City. The ce was ravaged by icy winds all year but served as an ideal location for consciousness training.

    Gao Yukang¡¯s men had the waymark for this ce. They only needed some basic tools to construct the portal.

    ¡°Boss, we won¡¯t make it!¡± Zheng Qian panicked.

    ¡°Besides, if they can create such a huge rift, then they must be more advanced than us in terms of spatial technology! We can¡¯t outrun them!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to die! Run! I don¡¯t want to die!¡±

    They had maximized their speed by pushing their qinggong to the limit but were still unable to shake off the Grans behind them.

    One after another, the D-tier aptitude users were captured. They were simply not quick enough.

    In contrast, Lei Ying and his group had outrun them by a margin. Since Gao Yukang would also stop frequently to rescue hisrades, he had indirectly helped Lei Ying to slow down the Grans¡¯ pursuit.

 Chapter 404 - Fallen C-tier

    <h4>Chapter 404: Fallen C-tier</h4>

    ¡°All out!¡±

    Only ten people were left behind, all of them wererades that had been together all these while, if it were not because of their support, Gao Yukang could not have attained his glorious achievements, and he had even be the governor of a state!

    How could he just abandon his ownrades?

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    ¡°Kill!!!!¡±

    Everyone bellowed in guttural roars.

    In their hearts, it did not matter anymore, they had already assumed that they would all be dead!

    Within such a precarious situation, Qin Feng knew that they had minimal chance to escape.

    If Gao Yukang were to leave by himself, he might still find his way out.

    However, such an option had certainly not crossed Gao Yukang¡¯s mind.

    Perhaps, it was the moment in life where irreversible fate took control.

    Qin Feng was only capable of reversing the fate of Zhou Hao and Liu Xue as they were weaker.

    However, Gao Yukang was powerful, even more powerful than Qin Feng¡¯s current state.

    Gao Yukang would not entrust his hope onto Qin Feng, then, he drove himself onto a one-way path!

    ¡°This shall be thest aide to them!¡±

    Qin Feng had decided, and gave Bai Li a nod.

    Bai Li¡¯s bearing instantly amplified, the next moment, silver lights flickered, and appeared on the sky unexpectedly.

    The whip held in her hand wasshed out and it struck the Grans.

    Spatial rifts appeared and surrounded more than ten Grans, and their bodies were ripped apart by the rifts.

    They felt like dumplings that were about to be cooked!

    Bai Li was way stronger than them.

    Qin Feng pursued and attacked.

    With his physical capabilities, he could even face a C-tier aptitude user, hence, the ordinary Grans were on par with Qin Feng in battle.

    However, they were all injured, and even clueless about the situation.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Instantly, they had lost their five senses.

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡±

    Qin Feng appeared behind one of them while he shed across with his saber.

    A detector on his opponent was able to sense the threatening energy, ayer of pale light barrier rose and shrouded around, however, Bai Li had already broken it once, therefore, the hurried defense was too weak!

    Crack!

    The energy barrier instantly shattered.

    Poof!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber drew an arc across, a giant-sized skull was tossed up along with the windblow, and fresh blood sprinkled!

    One down!

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡±

    Qin Feng repeated his moves.

    Bai Li pursued further.

    Both of them were perfectly synchronized with their attacks, and an entire team of Grans was annihted.

    It was that moment where the other Grans were alerted by the situation.

    Deaths!

    Despite the Grans¡¯ social environment which was filled with battles and upheld by brutal force, it had still remained as a society governed byw.

    They could hardly be threatened with their powerful self-capabilities.

    Also, they were not the same as humans who had survived the end times for two hundred years, an environment where the fatality rate was high and deaths were possible everywhere.

    Hence, for them, death was definitely a significant incident!

    Which meant that Qin Feng and Bai Li had intentionally poked a beehive.

    However, it was inevitable.

    Just that Qin Feng had initiated it.

    Gao Yukang and the others were shocked by Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯sbat energy, meanwhile, Qin Feng had already exited from the Dark Shroud.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Gao Yukang and the remaining others were instantly motivated.

    Everyone knew that Qin Feng had once again saved their lives.

    ¡°Qin Feng, if I am able to survive this, we shall be sworn brothers, I owe you one! And I will never forget about this for the rest of my life!¡± Gao Yukang burst intoughter.

    Qin Feng was left speechless while he was running. ¡°You will have sworn brothers to return your favor to others, is that how you do it? But that¡¯s how I like it!¡±

    Gao Yukang was a rare and worthy partner, a decent teammate to have during the end times.

    It was the reason why Qin Feng had taken the risk to save him.

    At that moment, a flow of terrifying energy was channeled from afar.

    Qin Feng was instantly struck by a cold chill.

    Without turning around, his conscious energy had already sensed the scene behind them, the Floating City from tens of thousands of meters away had sted out a ray of beaming light!

    Energy Beam!

    The energy from the beam was unknown, it was travelling at extremely high speed, in just the blink of an eye.

    Qin Feng did not even have the time to instruct Bai Li to operate the space to dodge it.

    Gao Yukang was still thinking that he had just escaped death, and he was still smiling. However, within the next moment, the light ray had prated through his body.

    The light was blinding, and Qin Feng could not fully capture the scene.

    It was as if time had slowed down to an extreme dy.

    Actually, it had onlysted for less than a second.

    Energy fluctuations disseminated, light rays disappeared, and Gao Yukang¡¯s body stumbled.

    Qin Feng was standing on his left, and he could not resist the blinding light as he blinked his eyes in response.

    Gao Yukang¡¯s right chest, shoulder, and arm had already disappeared!!!

    Gao Yukang red with his eyes wide open and fell behind.

    Qin Feng immediately extended his hand and supported Gao Yukang¡¯s body; however, he could no longer stand!

    Although the attack had missed his heart, however, it was impossible to survive such a heavy injury.

    ¡°Elder!¡±

    ¡°Governor!¡±

    ¡°Leader!¡±

    Every D-tier member who was running ahead shouted immediately.

    They went wild and ran back, while the light ability user had already ced countless numbers of Healing Lights onto Gao Yukang¡¯s body.

    However, the effort was in vain.

    Qin Feng was already sensing continuously depleting internal strengthing from within Gao Yukang¡¯s body.

    Qin Feng did not activate his Asteroid Assimtion, and it was a very heavy-hearted moment for him.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I... owe... you one!¡±

    Gao Yukang could barely speak.

    Qin Feng was left speechless and devastated, his eyes turned red!

    ¡°Qin... Feng, this is... for you!¡±

    Gao Yukang bit the dust and raised his remaining left hand, and he plucked off the C-tier badge from his chest.

    It was not merely a C-tier badge as it was refined with different carvings around the edges, hence, it was a badge that symbolized the highest position of a state.

    Gao Yukang had nothing in mind to return Qin Feng¡¯s favor for saving his life, and he also knew that he no longer had his chance to do so.

    Hence, the badge was being passed on to Qin Feng, a decision from him to nominate Qin Feng to take over his position as the governor!

    Qin Feng grabbed onto Gao Yukang¡¯s hand and received the badge.

    ¡°Zheng Qian!¡±

    ¡°Elder!¡± tears were streaming down Zheng Qian¡¯s cheeks, she had no idea on how to face such a heart-breaking moment!

    Gao Yukang opened his mouth, he could no longer use his voice, however, his internal strength fluctuations were still noticeable by the others!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength was greater than Gao Yukang¡¯s, hence, he heard every word from Gao Yukang!

    ¡°Take my spatial rune equipment, the password to my personal terminal is your birth date, but first, all of you have to survive this, if all of you fail, it will still be pointless...¡±

    Gao Yukang¡¯s voice became more and more inaudible, however, his eyes were still open and looking at Zheng Qian!

    Zheng Qian starred with her eyes wide open, paralleled with Gao Yukang¡¯s vision, and she was left in disbelief.

    ¡°Gao Yukang...you...¡±

    Zheng Qian had her doubts, however, they were never affirmed.

    It was because there were no longer signs of lifeing from Gao Yukang.

    He was dead!

 Chapter 405 - An Escape From Death

    <h4>Chapter 405: An Escape From Death</h4>

    Zheng Qian clenched her teeth, her eyes were red and soaked, she raised her head up, however, she was still unable to prevent tears from rolling down.

    As Zheng Qian raised her head up, she noticed that they were already being surrounded by Grans!

    Within such a short period of time, they had already shrouded around!

    Any possible chance to escape?

    Zheng Qian was instantly struck by the idea of sacrificing herself and dying together with him!

    It was at that moment, silver lights sparkled and exploded from the edge of the sky.

    It was across the horizon and it was from the direction of Longchuan City!

    Bai Li had also raised her head and looked up!

    It was her second encounter with such a scene, her first encounter was when she was still at a weaker state and had not even transformed into her human form.

    It was light from the explosion of the space stabilizing device.

    Under the beaming silver lights, the massive Floating City that appeared within the pitch-ck spatial passage had been shrouded by glowing silver lights, then, it shrunk immediately!

    It was crucial to know that the giant Floating City had only revealed a small part of its conic base, and it was not evenpletely revealed!

    However, it was shrinking gradually under the influence of the space stabilizing device.

    Having countless numbers of past spatial lockdown experiences, Qin Feng already knew what was about to happen!

    The Grans did not allow it to undermine their survival either, they began to fly out from the conic base of the Floating City, while the space stabilizing device on the edges of the city was being activated, intending to tear the rift apart.

    However, with the advantage of local space, the rift was still shrinking.

    Arge number of Grans exited from the city again.

    It was at that moment, Bai Li¡¯s imposing aura spiked again.

    Instantly, a giant silver light ray gushed up to the sky.

    The silver lights were much smaller than the lights from the explosion of the space stabilizing device, however, it was much more solid and concentrated.

    Nheless, it was like thest straw that had broken the camel¡¯s back, almost instantly, the pitch-ck spatial passage was covered with silver lights.

    The silver lights sparkled and instantly disappeared!

    The sky was still blue.

    However, the conic Floating City was halved by the space and it fell off from the sky.

    Instantly, an intense explosion struck the ground with a quake that could shake heaven and earth!

    Boom!

    A horrifying torrent of energy fluctuation swept across the entire Longchuan mountain range.

    A giant mountain that stood up high from the ground was instantly ttened by the energy.

    The Floating City exploded and shattered into pieces!

    The Floating City had superseded every technological advancements and energy systems of the world, however, the instant cut off from the space had triggered its explosion, and it had turned it into a wastnd that was scattered onto thend.

    The single explosion had taken away countless numbers of lives of the Grans.

    Also, the attack had resulted in the Grans being at a huge loss!

    As for the Grans that had surrounded Qin Feng and the others, would they still remain there to continue the fight?

    They pped their wings and cried out in rm, and as they flew away, they were terrorized with immense fear.

    Intellectual species were tantly honest in expressing themselves!

    However, without being trapped by the Grans, Gao Yukang¡¯s team was fortunate enough to have a lucky escape!

    Zheng Qian seemed to be brightened with hope, she lowered her head and smiled at Gao Yukang.

    ¡°Are you protecting us?¡±

    The first action that Gao Yukang had taken was to send across the message, if it were not because of the spatial lockdown, the situation would be very much different from the current one.

    Zheng Qian firmed up her faith and conviction again.

    To survive, Gao Yukang would have wished the same!

    She clenched her teeth and took down a ne from Gao Yukang¡¯s neck, it was his spatial rune equipment.

    Zheng Qian continued to raise her hand, and Gao Yukang¡¯s body disappearedpletely!

    The body was kept within the spatial rune equipment by Zheng Qian!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Zheng Qianmanded, while everyone else obeyed and followed her.

    All of them left the ce with their hearts filled with despair!

    Qin Feng shrouded everyone within his dark runes to avoid sudden attacks from ultra beasts within the Longchuan mountain range, everyone was leaving at extremely high speed!

    Beep beep beep beep!

    Qin Feng and the others were alerted with a new notification!

    ¡°Every aptitude user within the Longchuan mountain range, leave immediately, and at the same time, briefly report your situation to the Human Alliance!¡±

    Everyone had no time to pay attention to the instruction, they were only focusing on escaping as quickly as they could.

    Beside Qin Feng and the others, there were still some other people within the Longchuan mountain range, however, they were still unaware of the life-threatening situation that they were in, and thought that it was merely an appearance of the Floating City!

    Some of them even thought that the Floating City had been attacked from long range by the space stabilizing device of Longchuan City!

    Only Qin Feng knew that a massacre was about to begin.

    It was not just a battle, but a war!

    A tribe would dere war against another tribe!

    Qin Feng knew that the situation was much better than the previous one!

    Before his rebirth, the Floating City of the Grans was not destroyed, and the Grans were annihted by a mighty A-tier that had then taken control of the Floating City.

    However, the Floating City had now been destroyed, whereas there were tens of thousands of Grans that had appeared on the Floating City!

    Tens of thousands of C-tiers was indeed a horrifying thought!

    ¡°A response to the organization, instructing everyone from the colonies near the Longchuan mountain range to evacuate immediately, I repeat, everyone!¡±

    Qin Feng continued to borate on thebat energy of the enemies.

    Soon, Qin Feng was alerted by hismunicator.

    From a nce, Qin Feng was surprised by an official number from the Human Alliance.

    Qin Feng immediately responded to the call.

    However, he was still maintaining his speed as he continued running!

    The caller from the other end was shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s surroundings and continued, ¡°Greetings to you Mr Qin, I am themunication officer of themanding general stationed at Longchuan City, the general would like to speak to you!¡±

    Of course, the caller was not requesting permission from Qin Feng, and the channel was immediately switched.

    A mighty B-tier aptitude user with a badge on the chest appeared on Qin Feng¡¯smunicator!

    Qin Feng knew that person.

    General of Longchuan City, Xu Qing!

    Xu Qing was a mighty overlord of the Human Alliance, and would achieve A-tier after two years; even during Qin Feng¡¯s time, Xu Qing was already known as the next most qualified general to achieve A-tier.

    Xu Qing asked with a deep tone, ¡°Please exin the situation earlier!¡±

    ¡°The space stabilizing device triggered an explosion on their warship or aircraft that has appeared, however, even before that, they have already sent out ten thousand of their people!¡±

    ¡°Ten thousand, are you referring to those birdmen? They are C-tiers!¡± Xu Qing instantly frowned.

    ¡°Yes, they are very organized, and even offensive toward humans, also, they are of an intelligent species, and it is unknown how many we have killed, perhaps they would take on a wild revenge!¡±

    Even before his rebirth, Qin Feng already knew clearly about the brutality of the Grans.

    They were already being so offensive when none of them were harmed, hence, the situation would only be worse after so many of them had been killed.

    ¡°Understood, may all of you be safe!¡±

    It was the best advice that Xu Qing could offer!

 Chapter 406 - Joining Fengli

    <h4>Chapter 406: Joining Fengli</h4>

    Qin Feng and the others had fought with them at the frontline, and if they were tounch a pursuit, Xu Qing highly doubted that a D-tier could survive it.

    ¡°Thank you, General!¡± Qin Feng was not bothered by the caller¡¯s pessimism and cut off themunication immediately!

    In a day, approximately twenty three hours, Qin Feng and the remaining members of Gao Yukang¡¯s team were constantly on the move.

    Finally, they had returned to Colony Three!

    From there, they were allowed to travel back to Longchuan City by using thebat aircraft, at least they would be protected by B-tier aptitude users there.

    However, Colony Three had been totally evacuated, and restrictions had also been imposed on the area!

    Aptitude users who were C-tier and above would be automatically assigned into thebat forces, D-tier aptitude users were also allowed to participate and get their share of the high amount of rewards, however, it was all at their own risk.

    Certainly, Qin Feng and Bai Li stayed back to participate in the battle.

    At that moment, a group had gathered at the most luxurious hotel of Colony Three, they were all grouped up within a room!

    It was Gao Yukang¡¯s team!

    There were only eleven of them left.

    Zheng Qian maintained her stern face as she looked toward the eleven of them, and she continued saying, ¡°All of you have heard the news, the Human Alliance is nning to impose restrictions, and they might even set up their defenses here to retaliate against the intellectual species, I have made up my mind to stay! What about all of you?!¡±

    ¡°Is this question still necessary? They killed ourmander, and we must take revenge!¡±

    ¡°I want all of them to die here!¡±

    ¡°Revenge!¡±

    There was not even a slight hesitation from all ten of them!

    Zheng Qian feltforted yet her despair deepened.

    ¡°I understand that it is crucial for all of us to get revenge for ourmander!¡± Zheng Qian inhaled deeply and said, ¡°However, themander has just sacrificed himself, it would be a waste of his sacrifice if we were to just put our lives at risk without any careful considerations!¡±

    The discussion instantly became one that was heavy.

    A cold bucket of water seemed to have been poured over everyone as cold chills hit them deep inside.

    After all, they knew that it would be impossible for them to get on revenge for themander with their current capabilities!

    The Grans were very powerful, and each of them had C-tier capabilities, those that hade were most probably an army force, they were capable of causing despair to the humans.

    Zheng Qian managed to lead everyone to an escape earlier, now, the most brutal battle hadmenced, and her capabilities had not provided the members with a sufficient sense of security.

    After all, Zheng Qian was just recently promoted to C-tier, she was stillcking in her fundamental capabilities, and she was not even on par with Gao Yukang¡¯sbat energy.

    ¡°Does this leave us with no choice but to leave? Ourmander would not be able to rest in peace!¡± A person¡¯s voice was heard, and it was filled with deep sorrow.

    Zhen Xi remained silent as she gently caressed the rune spatial equipment in her hand.

    Gao Yukang¡¯s body was still kept within a temporary crystal coffin, and there was not even time for a proper cremation!

    He was a C-tier, also a governor, he deserved a ceremonious funeral at the Four Cities of the North Sea, and not to be disrespected by a hurried and impromptu send off.

    It would portray Gao Yukang as a defeated hound from a broken family, or a severely battered soldier that had lost his battle!

    On the contrary, he was the most powerful and heroic figure that was being embedded within the hearts of Zheng Qian and the other members!

    The others had noticed Zheng Qian¡¯s unusual gestures and her determination that was being expressed from her eyes.

    ¡°Xi, just give yourmand, whatever it is, we will obey it!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Zheng Qian, your call!¡±

    Zheng Qian answered with a deep tone, ¡°I am offering two choices to all of you!¡±

    Everyone looked toward Zheng Qian.

    ¡°I have logged on to themander¡¯s personal terminal, there is about eight hundred billion worth of current assets, ifbined with materials from the spatial rune equipment, there would be more than a trillion in total, and each of us could be distributed with a hundred billion!¡±

    Bang!

    One of the D-tier aptitude users kicked and turned over a side table!

    ¡°Stop this nonsense, I will not choose this way!¡±

    ¡°Zheng Qian, stop it, and stop being such a namby-pamby, or else, risk losing us as brothers!¡±

    ¡°Are you nning to go your own way? Zheng Qian, how could you act like this?!¡±

    ¡°Stay calm, isn¡¯t there a second option?!¡±

    Some were enraged, some were still trying to pacify the situation, however, none of them had even thought about opting out and going for the money.

    If Qin Feng had known, perhaps he would also be amazed andmend the incredible spirit of the team!

    If only Gao Yukang had survived longer, he would eventually be a ruler that wwould be supported by many.

    However, his fate was inescapable and irreversible.

    His death was inevitable.

    At that moment, Gao Yukang¡¯s team calmed themselves down and waited for Zheng Qian¡¯s answer.

    ¡°The second option would be us seeking for a new leader, themander has passed on his own badge to Qin Feng, he is a capable person that could withstand a C-tier, he is truly a powerful figure!¡±

    Everyone was silent.

    A powerful figure, however, he was still a D-tier!

    They also knew that Qin Feng was a D4-tier!

    However, being a rebellious D4, even those that were sent by Lei Ying could not get in his way.

    ***

    An hourter, a knock came from Qin Feng¡¯s room door.

    Qin Feng swept his conscious energy across the area, and as expected, it was Zheng Qian and the others.

    Qin Feng opened the door.

    Zheng Qian and the others were shocked and hesitated as they looked toward Qin Feng.

    They were wondering if they were in the right room.

    Qin Feng was in his casual wear, short sleeves with long pants, and it was all in pale white colour, his casual look was like that of a highly-guarded wealthy person from the colonies.

    An innocent youth that had never explored the wilderness or gone beyond the safety barriers.

    ¡°Come in!¡±

    Qin Feng opened the door and invited them in.

    ¡°Who is it?¡± Bai Li poked her head out curiously, she was sporting a twinning ponytail, while she had on a dress that was simr to Qin Feng¡¯s clothes, regardless of its fabric or its colour.

    Surprisingly, it was a matching outfit.

    Zhen Xi felt relieved as soon as Bai Li appeared, she was assured that she had gotten the right person.

    They were calmed down by Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s presence, however, they were frowning as they hesitated on the decision that they had just made.

    Both of them seemed to be too young and naive!

    However, they recalled the scene from Qin Feng¡¯s previous battle and brushed off the hesitations.

    Everyone had witnessed Qin Feng¡¯s brutality!

    ¡°Here for the beast emperor materials? Let¡¯s sort it outter!¡± Qin Feng spoke.

    ¡°No, it¡¯s not about that!¡± Zheng Qian immediately waved her hand and exined, ¡°I would like to hear from you Qin Feng, are you nning to remain at Colony Three and join the resistance battle?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡±

    Zheng Qian exhaled and was relieved by Qin Feng¡¯s answer, the others felt the same.

    ¡°Qin Feng, your mercenary troop is called the Fengli Mercenary Troop, right?!¡±

    ¡°Yes, why do you ask?¡± Qin Feng clearly knew that the request was about toe, however, he put it forth as a question and allowed Zheng Qian to borate!

    Zheng Qian¡¯s facial expression became serious.

    ¡°Well, Qin Feng, can we join the Fengli Mercenary Troop?¡±

    Everyone then looked at Qin Feng!

 Chapter 407 - Set Out At Night

    <h4>Chapter 407: Set Out At Night</h4>

    Being looked at with such a serious expression, Qin Feng¡¯s own face looked even more serious.

    ¡°You¡¯re very much weed!¡±

    He stretched his hand outward toward Zheng Qian and said, ¡°I can¡¯t promise you the future, but from this moment on, I will avenge Governor Gao. I hope you don¡¯t regret this decision!¡±

    Zheng Qian tried to smile but looked like she was about to break down in tears again!

    ¡°Thank you!¡±

    She reached out and shook Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    Afterward, he took out hismunicator and allocated Zheng Qian as having joined the Fengli Mercenary Troop. She was then transferred to the position of deputy head, same as Chen Xiang.

    This was mainly because Zheng Qian was currently the only C-tier person and the people who joinedter were also Gao Yukang¡¯s people. They would need a leader.

    He believed that there was no possible way that this little group was going to affect the internal affairs of his mercenary troop!

    Because these people would never be able to catch up with and surpass Qin Feng!

    Based on the previous agreement, plus the beast emperor Bai Li killed, he ended up splitting the materials fifty fifty with Zheng Qian.

    He even gave her the beast emperor crystal core.

    Zheng Qian was truly a hard worker! Gao Yukang originally wanted to leave all his funds to her, otherwise he would not have spoken to her through his internal force.

    If she had not mentioned it, nobody would have known it even if she had embezzled the money. However, she did buy nine beast emperor crystal cores from the Wanzong Auction at a high price!

    In Shadong Town, a beast emperor crystal core would cause a mad scramble due to limited resources.

    In Longchuan, beast emperor crystal cores had be a very popr material!

    Not many would want to try and sell a beast emperor crystal core in remote ces, as there could only be two oues.

    One, they get murdered and robbed. Two, they had to limit themselves to a certain price.

    Since the Grans had appeared, the beast emperor crystal cores had also be a saving grace for the D-tiers, and Zheng Qian¡¯s personal capital definitely was not weak.

    The aptitude users in Gao Yukang¡¯s team all possessed beast emperor crystal cores. Once absorbed, theirbat prowess would be greatly improved!

    There was also a great amount of pressure put onto Chen Xiang and the others.

    There were a lot of people, Qin Feng could not possibly personally handle all of their problems. Everything in the future depended on the capabilities of Chen Xiang and the rest.

    Moreover, they had been living well under Qin Feng¡¯s leadership. So long as they were wise with their money, they would be able to afford a beast emperor crystal core in half a year¡¯s time!

    Especially now, there were arge number of rewards for participating in resistance operations.

    In one day, arge amount of rune equipment was distributed. Of course, it was only in response to the Grans situation where basic anti-consciousness and anti-signal detection equipment were issued.

    They might not have an effect against the Grans but it was better to be safe than sorry, and the army had already carried out their preparations!

    ns for gueri warfare in the city were quickly carried out, those who were going to be part of the ns were all D-tier aptitude users. They believed that they could use their numbers as an advantage and had super cannons to deal with the high-powered enemies.

    The Aptitude User¡¯s Hall had countless missions which were being announced by the Human Alliance.

    Most of these were exploration missions. Know the enemy like how you know yourself and victory would be assured!

    It was important to understand the enemy¡¯s situation!

    Ten minutes of a clear video would be enough to exchange for tens of millions worth in rewards.

    But nobody was a fool, the missions were too risky!

    Qin Feng walked into the Aptitude User¡¯s Hall, and even though it was alreadyte at night it was still quite lively.

    Looking around, he only saw C-tier aptitude users around. There were no more than a hundred of them!

    ¡°Oh? If it isn¡¯t Qin Feng?¡± A voice said in a sarcastic tone was heard.

    As a C-tier aptitude user, he had arrived at the colony muchter than Qin Feng did but he received news that delighted him.

    ¡°Congrattions on making it back alive Qin Feng, too bad about Gao Yukang, who would have guessed that the poor sod would die? Haha, that¡¯s what you get for being greedy! You¡¯ve got a kind heart, letting him run away first!¡±

    Gao Yukang was dead, a genius with a promising future had suddenly died in an ident.

    Colony Three was small and its social circle was even smaller, naturally this was news that everyone would have known about.

    People were listening in on the conversation. Looking at the man of action.

    Qin Feng had been on fire for the past few days!

    He killed the Ivory Crown Emperor!

    A beast so dangerous that nobody actually wanted to fight!

    Upon seeing him, they realized that he was unexpectedly young and there was the devastatingly beautiful Bai Li next to him.

    ¡°Maybe you¡¯ll be the next person to have an unfortunate ident. You should run too, leave this ce before you regret it!¡± Qin Feng said coldly.

    Such a mockery was also a retort against Lei Ying.

    ¡°Me? Hahaha, you mean yourself? You should leave instead, go back to Longchuan City, no, to that Four Cities or whatever, and be a cock of the dunghill!¡±*

    Lei Ying was very happy and did not care about Qin Feng¡¯s mockery.

    It was just that Qin Feng¡¯s expression remained steely calm throughout the entire conversation, regarding the insanely arrogant Lei Ying with indifferent eyes.

    ¡°Then we¡¯ll wait and see!¡±

    Wait and see who would be the one to die first!

    If they were out in the wild, Qin Feng would not be above sabotage.

    He did not even care if they were in the midst of a war.

    Qin Feng walked past Lei Ying, connecting hismunicator to the Hall¡¯swork and received a task.

    A reward for killing an intelligent species beast, 1 billion per head!

    Exploration mission, 10 million reward for 10 minutes of clear footage!

    Blockading the intelligent species¡¯s spatial passage, a reward of 10 billion!

    The missions announced by the Human Alliance were very specific, pushing out whatever they could think of and making the price high enough so that it would be worth the risk!

    Qin Feng collected his tasks and left without even so much as looking at Lei Ying.

    Lei Ying then rushed to the counter and asked the staff, ¡°What tasks did he take?¡±

    Although the staff member was not a normal person, they were F-tier, they still regarded Lei Ying with fear. ¡°Hold on! Let me check!¡±

    Logging into the system, the person quickly found the tasks that Qin Feng had taken and was taken aback!

    Qin Feng had unexpectedly taken almost all of them! These missions would have needed deposits!

    Otherwise, people would have just taken them and might notplete them. How else would the Human Alliance be gaining money?

    When the staff told Lei Ying what they had learned, Lei Ying was taken aback, but then he sneered.

    ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to seeing if he finishes those tasks!¡±

    When the time came, Lei Ying did not even need to do anything and Qin Feng would be dead!

    Too bad he could not see this for himself.

    However, Lei Ying did not expect Qin Feng to actually do these tasks. Not only that, he immediately set off the moment he stepped out of the hall!

    Bai Li used a spatial passage and when they reappeared, they were at the ce of their previous battle!

 Chapter 408 - Qin Fengâ€™s Plan

    <h4>Chapter 408: Qin Feng¡¯s n</h4>

    The night wrapped itself around Qin Feng, concealing his presence entirely.

    He was slightly weaker than a Gran and had to move about very carefully.

    Since the fall of the Floating City had caused a huge inferno, the entire forest had been burnt bare. Now, there were Grans staying around, collecting what supplies remained after the explosion.

    The materials used to build the Floating City was very strong, in the end, the explosion sent all of them flying everywhere. All that they needed to do was collect them and they would be ready for use after some repairs.

    Now, they were flying around and looking for materials. A group of them flew toward Qin Feng¡¯s direction.

    Due to their fast flying speed, theymunicated through fluctuating energy waves that were simr to consciousness usage.

    This allowed Qin Feng to easily listen in on their transmissions.

    ¡°This incident was definitely the doings of those other intelligent species. So weak, yet they darebat against us.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps they may have the materials we require to repair the Floating City!¡±

    ¡°More importantly, they might have some materials for sustenance!¡±

    ¡°After the city was damaged, the nutrients we require tost a decade in this dimension have been lost!¡±

    ¡°Insolent pests. It¡¯s all their doing. How manypatriots have we lost to them?¡±

    ¡°We should investigate, perhaps there might be things we could use.¡±

    The Grans¡¯ attitude toward humanity was unfriendly due to the few humans who fought against them, and had made themselves a threat due to the massive amount of damage that they had caused.

    Of course, when it came to confronting these kinds of beings, there was no such thing as ¡®friendly interactions¡¯!

    Besides that, Qin Feng would definitely not allow them to approach Colony Three. Especially not now.

    Not when there were still ten thousand people in the colony.

    This group must be destroyed!

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    A wave of terrifying runes enshrouded this group of Grans. The night was Qin Feng¡¯s greatest weapon and the Grans had not noticed it as they flew forward, losing their usual sense of perception!

    ¡°Dark Ray!¡±

    Ten bolts of darkness impacted their bodies. The powerful Dark ability corroded their forms and made their wings too weak to carry them through the air.

    Thump!

    Ten Grans fell one after another, breaking tree branches along the way.

    Qin Feng was already waiting for them below!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber mmed into the neck of a falling Grans. The Grans tried to avoid it, letting out a frightful scream.

    But it was toote!

    Pfft!

    Its oddly-shaped head fell to the ground, huge eyes unblinking as it coldly stared at the sky.

    Qin Feng disappeared, vanishing like a ghost in the dark.

    In the blink of an eye, all the ten Grans, an entire troop, were obliterated.

    Qin Feng then used his consciousness to drag all their bodies into a single pile.

    He tore open the chest of a Gran and saw a bright gemstone set in the center of its chest, connecting to it were the muscles of its body.

    It looked like it had naturally formed inside it.

    The energy crystal core of the Grans.

    This race had a unique source of strength. As such, it had been like this since its birth, which exined why it could have an army of C-tiers.

    He lifted his hand and set the bodies on fire. In the blink of an eye, the ugly forms burnt away and left behind clear pebble-sized crystalline gems.

    Qin Feng picked up these ten gems and inspected them carefully. Even though the energy they gave him would not even make him reach the level of a C-tier beast general, it would still be half of one¡¯s strength!

    Human nature was a greedy and profit-driven one!

    The rewards from the Human Alliance alone were obviously not good enough to attract people to make a move and try their best to eliminate the Grans, but these crystal cores would be Qin Feng¡¯s bargaining chip to lure in other people to try.

    He began to wander around some more. Isted Grans troopers that were sent out to collect resources for the Floating City were all quietly taken down by Qin Feng, an assassin of the night!

    ¡°One hundred and fifty three!¡±

    In an hour¡¯s time in the Longchuan mountains, Qin Feng had gathered a lot.

    However, something as good as this was bound to notst.

    Soon, the Grans noticed that something weird was happening.

    ¡°Something is wrong. It has been a long time since Yun left for the resource gathering route!¡±

    ¡°Nothing should have happened, right?¡±

    ¡°Not possible. Communication is also not possible.¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t contact Baen either!¡±

    ¡°Maybe we should count our numbers and deal with this carefully. This ce is more dangerous than we thought!¡±

    At this time, the Grans began to withdraw their battle lines, retreating one after another. After an analysis of their losses, they learned that they had lost more than a hundredbatants!

    Now, there was only onemander left, whose strength was the equivalent of a C-tier beast king. Its face was pale from the news, but it steeled itself with a fierce expression.

    ¡°First, establish a defensive fort. There is still some machinery that can be repurposed, and set up the energy cannons!¡±

    Even though the Grans had C-tier strength, they did not feel safe.

    Qin Feng had no chance of attacking now, but he naturally did not n on letting them go!

    ¡°Bai Li, your turn!¡± Qin Feng said in a low voice.

    ¡°I¡¯m not letting these bastards get away!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s dark eyes zed over with the glint of rage.

    Although Gao Yukang¡¯s rtionship with Qin Feng¡¯s was like that of a polite and mutual kinship, Gao Yukang had given Bai Li food before and to her that was a truly sincere gesture.

    Bai Li was very sensitive and Gao Yukang was considered as a member of her circle of friends!

    In the end, this was her friend¡¯s eternal resting ce.

    What better way to calm oneself than personally taking revenge?

    Her body rapidly shrank, jumping out of her clothes before beginning to rapidly grow in size.

    In the blink of an eye, Bai Li had revealed her C-tier beast emperor level¡¯s true strength.

    Standing at the height of fifteen meters tall, fur shining like stars under the moonlight. Behind her were five tails that swished through the air, causing ripples as if they could tear through the fabric of space itself.

    She bolted forward.

    Qin Feng raised hismunicator and pointed to the ce where the Grans were setting up their defenses.

    ¡°Let the Human Alliance think that these guys had identally provoked a C-tier ultra behemoth!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s form was massive, but she was as flexible and agile as ever. There was no need to hide her strength as she crashed directly into the Grans defense camp.

    A few of them did not even get the chance to react as they were instantly crushed to death under her paws.

    ¡°AAAAIIIIEEEEE!!!¡±

    The Grans began to panic.

    When she swept one of her long tails, she instantly sent dozens of them flying through the air. Not only that, those who were knocked into the air were sliced apart by the countless mini spatial rifts!

    ¡°Kill it!¡±

    ¡°Hurry up and kill it!¡¯

    ¡°Out of the way! Let me handle this!¡±

    The C-tier king levelmander rushed forward, its body surging with power as it charged at Bai Li.

    Bai Li had contempt in her eyes, the fury of an emperor had been ignited!

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    She let out a roar and in an instant a silver light appeared around themander, trapping him in a box. Not only that, the box began to quickly shrink.

    Two meters, one meter. The Gran struggled but it could only curl up into a ball as its wings were crushed and twisted.

 Chapter 409 - D5 Tier

    <h4>Chapter 409: D5 Tier</h4>

    The silver cube shrunk again!

    Thirty centimetres!

    This was far beyond the range where the human body could reduce itself to!

    The same went for Grans.

    Crack!

    The one trapped inside the cube was crushed like a rotten tomato, exploding and turning into an unrecognizable mush.

    Then the cube disappeared, leaving only a puddle of blood.

    Of course, there was also the crystal core that was the equivalent of a C-tier beast king which Bai Li quickly took away.

    All the Grans were shocked

    ¡°Deputy captain!¡±

    ¡°Ah! What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°The deputy captain is dead!¡±

    The Grans were terrified.

    Their strongest fighter had just died, causing their morale to plummet.

    First, there was the unfortunate explosion of the Floating City, then there was the hundreds and thousands of people who died on this expedition, and now an ultra beast had randomly appeared and killed off theirmanding officer.

    Their battlelines copsed.

    Nobody was nning on trying to counterattack and Bai Li had an easier time fighting, absolutely crushing everything in her way.

    The Grans had to retreat.

    Qin Feng had been filming the entirety of this and was getting closer and closer to the battlefield. When he arrived at the area where the Grans stored their machinery, he swept up all of that high-tech machinery in one go!

    They were not badly damaged, a little research could make terrifying machines that went beyond C-tier.

    There were very few firearms above C-tier and it was difficult to raise consciousness to that level. Not to mention, even if the consciousness was stronger the power of the guns used would not have changed.

    These things were going to give the Human Alliance new ideas in the future.

    Of course, maybe the Floating City would be better. Qin Feng knew that in his past life there was only one person who controlled it and nobody else couldy a finger on it.

    That being the case, he did not mind if he coulde up with something new for himself, or if he were to sell it to the Human Alliance for arge sum of money!

    Qin Feng scuttled through the Grans camp now that most of them had fled in a panic, killing off a few stragglers himself and at the same time collected the crystal cores scattered about on the ground.

    These beings had wings, it was very hard to catch them once they started fleeing.

    Bai Li shook her paws, there was not a hint of blood on them but the entire hilltop was stained red.

    Then, she shook her tails and bolted off.

    Qin Feng also turned off his recording by then.

    The two then retreated from the battlefield.

    Ten thousand meters away from the bloodbath, Qin Feng and Bai Li bunkered themselves up in a cave and began to count their spoils.

    In addition to a bunch of machines that could not be used at the moment, they naturally had plenty of crystal cores obtained from the Grans.

    Although the Grans came from a ne of existence where they were technologically advanced and utilized powerful spatial technology, they did not have spatial storage equipment. This meant that Qin Feng had lost a little bit of profit.

    Despite this, he had close to three thousand energy crystal cores.

    ¡°Munch. Krik-krak!¡±

    Bai Li crunched down onto the energy crystal core that once belonged to the C-tier king level Grans deputy officer she killed, gulping it down.

    Then she took out a regr energy crystal core and gulped that down too.

    ¡°Ech. That tasted terrible and that did not give a lot of energy!¡±

    ¡°Then give me everything you don¡¯t need!¡± Qin Feng said.

    He originally thought that three thousand C-tier beast general crystal cores would be enough to supplement Bai Li¡¯s growth but it did look like that was possible anymore!

    If that were the case then the second priority was to improve his own strength.

    After reaching D-tier, every step higher had be increasingly difficult.

    When Bai Li took out the crystal cores, they looked like a mini-hill all piled up in front of him.

    Then she took out the moon-tempered cress she collected when she killed the Ivory Crown Emperor. There were three left and she gave all of them to Qin Feng!

    Qin Feng began by aiming at the energy crystal cores.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    The more powerful he was, the more terrifying his absorption ability became.

    Energy crystal cores needed to be purified by machinery before they could be absorbed by those who wanted to use them, but Qin Feng did not need to go through that process.

    Not only that, the overbearing power of his absorption ability could be seen with the naked eye!

    A crystal core would lose its luster as energy was being drained from it. Cracks would begin to web over its surfaces, little fractures crawling all over it before it would copse into powder.

    The process was quick, in about a minute, a crystal core was broken down.

    With more than three thousand crystal cores, in the matter of five hours all of them had been broken down and turned into dust.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body became even stronger!

    D5 tier!

    He finally ranked up!

    But it was not over yet as he picked up the moon-tempered cress.

    The energy contained within this spirit herb could be converted into internal force!

    Last time he took a bite out of one he could feel energy flowing into his dantian, condensing at the bottom of it. Now, all three were quickly eaten and absorbed.

    Others might still need to cultivate after this but Qin Feng could directly use his absorption ability.

    The energy of the moon-tempered cress flowed through his consciousness before settling inside his dantian after it was absorbed.

    There were five more pools of internal force within him now.

    ¡°Phew!¡±

    He breathed out a gout of mist as he opened his mouth. It took much less time to absorb the moon-tempered cresspared to the crystal cores.

    When he looked at the time he realized it was already noon.

    ¡°Bai Li, let¡¯s go back!¡±

    ¡°Yes! I want a big piece of steak!¡±

    ¡°Gluttonous little cat!¡± Qin Feng smiled.

    Bai Li pouted. ¡°I¡¯m not a cat, I¡¯m a fox!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha! Alright, gluttonous little fox!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t make it sound weird!¡±

    The two began to banter as Bai Li opened up a spatial passage back to Longchuan¡¯s Colony Three.

    After more than ten hours, the entire ce looked empty. Walking through the streets told people just how deste the ce seemed, but had the feeling that they were being watched from all directions.

    These were aptitude users waiting for ambush.

    But as a battle had not begun, they were not at the height of their vignce.

    That and they did not consider Qin Feng¡¯s D-tier rank to be much!

    Unscrupulous!

    After all, most of these people were close to, or were, C-tier.

    For the past day, they had been getting impatient. When the crisis had not hit the ceiling, it was the waiting that was the most painful.

    ¡°Is that Qin Feng? The guy who confronted Lei Ying!¡±

    ¡°Only D-tier? No certification?¡±

    ¡°No. Only just D-tier, probably D4 or D5, but some people say that he¡¯s got some kind of Hero ss strength!¡±

    The Hero ss was the equivalent of king level.

    During his teenage years, there was not anything beyond that ssification.

    The ones watching and discussing about him held less contempt in their eyes, looking at him with more solemnity.

    No matter where you were, the strong were respected. Especially in a world where the strong had a future had an unlimited possibility to develop even further.

    The Pride Son of Heaven could be Qin Feng¡¯s nickname, based on how young he looked.

    He did not care much about what people thought of him, taking out the Silver Bolt and driving off toward the Aptitude User¡¯s Hall.

 Chapter 410 - General Xu Qing

    <h4>Chapter 410: General Xu Qing</h4>

    By now the Aptitude User¡¯s Hall was not as lively as before but countless monitoring systems had been activated, and Qin Feng sensed a powerful aura emanating from upstairs in the hall.

    B-tier!

    Xu Qing must have arrived!

    Qin Feng walked toward the window.

    ¡°Submitting my missions!¡±

    ¡°Alright Sir, please transfer the proof of your taskpletion!¡±

    Qin Feng tapped on hismunicator and quickly transmitted the video.

    ¡°Beep, missionplete!¡±

    ¡°Beep, missionplete!¡±

    ¡°Beep...¡±

    One after another, tasks were shown up aspleted.

    The staff member¡¯s eyes stretched as wide as humanly possible.

    There were many aptitude users in Colony Three and quite a lot of them were C-tiers. Although Qin Feng, a D-tier, had done a few major things recently, his name was not very well known.

    What was special was that none of the lower-tier aptitude users could contact Qin Feng whatsoever.

    The staff member thought that Qin Feng had epted other tasks from before and was only submitting them now, then he would leave the colony as soon as he had received his reward.

    After all, a huge battle was about to happen here!

    Who would have imagined that the missions Qin Feng was submitting would be the ones that were the most important, top priority ones.

    ¡°Sir, I can handle some of your submissions for now, but one task has arge amount of information that needs to be reviewed by someone with more advanced skills. Could you please just wait a moment?¡±

    ¡°Sure!¡±

    Qin Feng naturally agreed.

    Soon, hismunicator began to ring several times as notifications carrying his rewards from the Human Alliance came in.

    For the task offering to kill the C-tier intelligent species, Qin Feng took advantage of the chaos and killed some so he was distributed 200 billion dors.

    Now, Qin Feng¡¯s personal funds had reached more than a thousand billion!

    Due to constant battling, Qin Feng had not even used his money and he did not need to supplement for himself for the time being. The stronger he got, so long as he was in the right circles, the more money he would gain.

    He sat in the reception room of the hall. The ce was very luxurious, after all it was a ce for aptitude users.

    A beautifuldy with a slender waist walked over. She wore a white blouse and a ck skirt, her thighs were d in ck stockings. Her high heels clicked against the ground as she approached them.

    ¡°Sir, would you like a drink?¡±

    ¡°Water! And fruit juice, thank you!¡±

    ¡°Very well, Sir!¡±

    The woman said with a sweet smile. Within a few minutes, she ced a ss of water and juice on the table.

    ¡°The juice is hers!¡± Qin Feng pointed to Bai Li¡¯s direction.

    The woman smiled and gently shifted the juice toward Bai Li who raised her head and looked up as the two directly stared down one another!

    Qin Feng smiled faintly. ¡°That¡¯s all, you can go now!¡±

    ¡°Ah, alright, enjoy Sir!¡± The woman walked away in a daze, almost stumbling as she turned away.

    Bai Li put a straw in her drink while watching the woman.

    ¡°What¡¯s up with her? Looked like she had something on her mind!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled, ¡°You¡¯re too beautiful, must have scared her a little!¡±

    Strong aptitude users could easily obtain whatever they wanted, be it status, money, power and beauties.

    Some of these things Qin Feng had no need for, but theye up once in a while.

    After his rebirth, there had not been anyone else that had caught his eye. When there was someone as beautiful as Bai Li, all the rest were eclipsed by her presence.

    Just as Qin Feng and Bai Li were indulging in idle chatter, both of them felt an overwhelming aura wash over them.

    They both looked toward the direction of the hall¡¯s elevator.

    As the doors slowly opened, Xu Qing appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s line of sight.

    A B-tier ancient warrior, soon-to-be A-tier, he was essentially the prince of the ce!

    Qin Feng stood up from his seat and Bai Li mimicked him, also standing up.

    The two looked at Xu Qing as he approached them, step by step.

    Xu Qing reached out a hand, looking like he was offering a handshake to Qin Feng.

    ¡°We should have met before, aptitude user Qin Feng! They said that the younger generation will surpass us in time!¡±

    ¡°General Xu, you¡¯re too kind!¡±

    Qin Feng and Xu Qing shook hands.

    ¡°This is my girlfriend, Bai Li!¡±

    Xu Qing nodded and stretched out his hand. Bai Li knew enough about human manners and epted the hand, shaking it.

    ¡°Let¡¯s sit here!¡±

    Xu Qing waved his hand and only then did the three sit down.

    ¡°The information you¡¯ve given us is very useful! On behalf of the Human Alliance, I¡¯d like to thank you for your contribution, so today I¡¯ll specially reward you with 10 billion dors!¡±

    ¡°Well, thank you!¡±

    10 billion was not much for Qin Feng, but based on the previous 10 million for a 10 minute video it was considered a lot.

    Xu Qing knew that Qin Feng did not care for the money. With his capabilities, Qin Feng could get hundreds of billions of cash by going out there and killing those Grans.

    ¡°An ultra beast attacked their camp, which is good news for us!¡±

    ¡°Hm, a reduction in their numbers is always good news but there¡¯s still too many of them!¡±

    The remaining seven thousand Grans were still going to be a headache.

    Fortunately, Xu Qing was still here, which meant that the safety of Colony Three could be guaranteed!

    ¡°I¡¯ve already sent a message to the Human Alliance and there will be two more B-tier aptitude usersing to support the effort,¡± Xu Qing said. ¡°You¡¯ve gone deep into enemy territory for a day, tell me what¡¯s on your mind!¡±

    The video and the known situation were naturally two different things.

    Qin Feng recalled his experience and voiced his thoughts, ¡°Gold can move people¡¯s hearts. This race has evolved crystal cores, it could be used to attract more people to take risks!¡±

    Xu Qing nodded, obviously thinking about getting some cores for himself!

    ¡°When I first went there, they¡¯d already been nning to explore this direction. Although the ultra beast disrupted their ns, I don¡¯t think that¡¯s going to stop their pace of reaching Colony Three!¡±

    Xu Qing frowned at the news.

    ¡°They haverge numbers and no food. They were attacked by a C-tier beast emperor. Like scared birds, they¡¯ll be looking for shelter which means they¡¯ll definitely be heading toward the colony. I hope that the Human Alliance could set up an ambush in advance because fighting in the colony is too passive!¡±

    And by then, the colony could be destroyed.

    While it was not difficult to build a colony, nor was it expensive to outfit one, the destruction of Colony Three would directly affect the efforts of defending the Dragon City mountain range.

    ¡°Hmm, let me think about this!¡± Xu Qing nodded. ¡°What you said is easier said than done. The number of C-tiers we have are only one-fiftieth of theirs, well now it should be one-thirtieth of theirs!¡±

    Indeed, in the entire colony, there were only two hundred people who were C-tier aptitude users

    There were a lot of others who were D-tier, up to almost a thousand who were all assisting the efforts of the C-tiers but when it came down to a battle like this, they were going to end up bing cannon fodder.

    After all, there were still too many Grans!

 Chapter 411 - Prioritizing Whatâ€™s Important

    <h4>Chapter 411: Prioritizing What¡¯s Important</h4>

    Qin Feng and Xu Qing talked for a little bit more but time was of the essence. Xu Qing was still busy with a lot of things and the two ended their meeting.

    ¡°If you have anything you want to report, you can directly contact me. The greater the power, the greater one¡¯s responsibilities. I hope you won¡¯t take a break yet and continue working hard!¡±

    Xu Qing was odd with his words, maybe because when one had reached the upper ss they liked to speak entrically!

    What he meant was that he hoped Qin Feng would not rest for the next few days but continue his investigation and collect more information.

    ¡°I understand, General Xu!¡±

    Qin Feng had his own ns and did not need to be ordered around by other people, but he did not refute as he had the same idea as Xu Qing.

    Once he added Xu Qing¡¯s number to hismunicator, the two parted ways.

    By the time he returned to the hotel, the others of the Fengli Mercenary Troop had already received thetest battle status notifications.

    ¡°Boss, did you really go back to that Wisdom Tribe¡¯s ce yesterday?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I killed a bunch with surprise attacks. The Human Alliance will be releasing a videoter, you can take a look for yourself!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Zheng Qian was extremely surprised. She did not think that the reason for Qin Feng being absent for an entire day was because he was out looking for Grans.

    ¡°I don¡¯t like to sit around and wait for death!¡±

    He tapped hismunicator twice and showed everyone the video that was already uploaded onto the battle!

    Of course, the Fengli Mercenary Troop would be the first ones to receive this news.

    From the very beginning of the video, there were the Grans troops that Qin Feng had taken down. They were headed toward Colony Three. However, these people did not hear the telepathic speech of the Grans and Qin Feng did not think about revealing that information for now in order to prevent chaos.

    Then, his ambush killing began, repeating over and over with the oldest trick in the killer¡¯s manual.

    The concealment from the dark ability, the explosive power of the fire ability and the strength of an ancient warrior.

    Qin Feng¡¯sbat prowess was amazing.

    Even some C-tiers thought that it was impossible to achieve that level of fighting.

    Everyone was watching him fight and although the battle onlysted for a short while, people were watching every moment very carefully.

    After all, know the enemy like how you know yourself and victory would soon be assured.

    Everyone began to study the video!

    In fact, even Lei Ying was watching the video after he heard the news.

    Even though he knew about the horrors of the Grans, he had not left yet because there were still B-tier aptitude users around, and he had formed a truce with Han Chengming, Liu Yi and Wang Jian. What was more was that they had plenty of subordinates who were lying in ambush.

    Everyone had a grim look on their face.

    ¡°Just how strong is Qin Feng? How much power is behind a normal punch?¡± Liu Yi asked, his brow furrowed with worry and doubt.

    They all wanted to fight Qin Feng in the beginning, but when they really looked at it they realized just how terrible that line of thought was.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, but we all know just how terrifying that Wisdom Tribe is!¡± Wang Jian said.

    Wang Jian and his people had crossed paths with the Grans before. Not only did they have energy shielding, they were also physically powerful.

    ¡°Stop studying Qin Feng and figure out where the weak spots of the Grans are so we can target them!¡±

    Lei Ying cut the two off, seemingly unwilling to admit their fear of Qin Feng.

    The video that had been released and Qin Feng¡¯s performance in it had people in an uproar!

    Way too strong.

    As such, being Qin Feng¡¯s enemy, Lei Ying did not want to discuss or hear anything about him.

    ¡°The Grans are powerful, but they¡¯re more like the Western physical users. They have an energy crystal core in the center of their chests which might be their weak spot but the most annoying thing about them is that they can fly!¡± Lei Ying¡¯s eyes narrowed before saying, ¡°So, what do you think about using poison?¡±

    Lei Ying¡¯s got a point there.

    Their energy shields could resist martial arts and abilities but it was impossible to iste air. So long as there was air, it could naturally be poisoned.

    However, they did not know the anatomy of this race and what kind of poison would work!

    These were all the things that needed to be studied.

    Before his rebirth, the fortress in the Longchuan Mountains was destroyed too quickly. There was no time to experiment and it was unknown what kind of poison could even stop them.

    That idea was left out before, if only a corpse was brought back!

    Now, it was toote.

    In any case, it was impossible that the Grans wouldunch an attack on the Colony Three now.

    Qin Fengy on afortable bed with Bai Li in his arms and quickly fell into a state of rest.

    He was not like the rest, he was not that worried. Even if Colony Three was destroyed he did not think that would be unexpected, let alone feel any regrets.

    After all, his current situation was already leagues better than his past life!

    ***

    Four hourster, Qin Feng woke up and tried to order something to eat, only to realize that everyone in the hotel had been evacuated!

    He simply took Bai Li downstairs and entered the hotel kitchen before beginning to cook for himself.

    His difficult past life allowed him to master many skills. When making food, he could rx his body and mind, and food was extremely precious so Qin Feng was a decent chef.

    ¡°Sir!¡±

    Chen Xiang quickly walked up to Qin Feng, but after seeing that his boss was cooking food like nothing was going on stunned him for a moment.

    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve just received the news! The Grans are on the move!¡±

    In addition to Qin Feng¡¯s expedition, the colony had also sent out countless drones. However, these drones flew slowly, it was possible that some would have been destroyed by some ultra beasts along the way.

    If so, it would not be strange to receive news right now.

    ¡°Oh? Moving toward Colony Three?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°From the direction, it seems so. The Colony Four is too far away so that means we¡¯re very likely going to be the front line. They¡¯re fast b*stards, they can fly after all!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, putting down the dish he was making into a te.

    Bai Li immediately dug in with delight.

    Chen Xiang continued, ¡°Judging by their speed, they¡¯ll be able to reach the colony by maybe the day after tomorrow provided that they¡¯re not trying to rush at us overnight!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded again, ¡°Does the Human Alliance have any ns?¡±

    ¡°Not yet!¡±

    ¡°General Xu Qing hasn¡¯t thought of a way to stop their advance?¡±

    Chen Xiang shook his head, ¡°Also no!¡±

    Qin Feng knew that this sort of thing wasn¡¯t directly in Xu Qing¡¯s control and there were other people involved in the decision making.

    ¡°I see, the Grans would still have to take a break at night. When that timees, I think I¡¯ll go scout it out!¡±

    When Qin Feng said ¡®scout¡¯, what he meant was he was going to start ambushing the Grans again.

 Chapter 412 - A Persisting Ambush

    <h4>Chapter 412: A Persisting Ambush</h4>

    If it were before the video¡¯s release, maybe Chen Xiang would have asked Qin Feng to be careful but now he did not have anything to say!

    Strength represented everything.

    Qin Feng was really amazing!

    The night was getting darker and the Grans had stopped their advance.

    Due to Bai Li¡¯s attack on them, three thousand of them had perished. That was almost one third of their numbers. After they regrouped, they no longer tried to gather resources!

    They must move.

    While this pack had no leader, they quickly appointed a genius level Gran as their newmander. The individual they selected agreed to this role without much objection.

    Soon, they left their original point of gathering before heading for Colony Three, and along the way, there were no more powerful ultra beasts that came to harass them.

    What was more was that the closer they were to the outskirts, the weaker the ultra beasts became, which allowed them time to regain some energy.

    Failure was not terrifying, what was scary was that possibility of never recovering.

    There were only seven thousand Grans left and none of them wanted to die in an alternate ne.

    ¡°It¡¯s getting dark, there might be unfamiliar objects in this gloom!¡±

    ¡°Best if we find a ce to rest.¡±

    ¡°Patrol team, prepare to mobilize! No more incidents!¡±

    Such arge number naturally would make a lot of noise, but the outskirts of the Longchuan Mountain range was filled with normal D-tier ultra beasts. They did not even have time to avoid this army, let alone try to approach it.

    After having rushed all the way here, everyone was tired.

    But shaky morale was not ideal for an army.

    Soon, the Grans had set up camp and were getting some rest.

    In the middle of the night, with exception of the countless patrol squads, everyone else fell asleep.

    An agile figure bounded through the darkness before jumping out of the trees.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡¯

    Qin Feng unleashed his abilities.

    ¡°Dark Ray!¡±

    ¡°Blossoming me!¡±

    The patrol team did not even see Qin Fenging, nor did they see when he left!

    The reason was because they were all in!

    Qin Feng put some of the corpses into his spatial rune equipment, hoping that they would be useful to the Human Alliance.

    The other patrol teams eventually met a simr fate and were in by Qin Feng.

    When the sixth team lost contact, the Grans realized that something was wrong. The numbers of their patrol teams were decreasing, even a fool would know what was going on.

    Qin Feng immediately began to retreat!

    After an hour, the Grans tallied up their numbers and realized that fifty of them were missing, they were on the verge of breaking down!

    ¡°Thisnd is truly devilish!¡±

    Disappearances without a trace, ultra beast attacks, that was enough to make anyone be on the edge.

    This time, the number of teams sent out were doubled!

    Ten per team with twenty teams in total with cross patrols. Once an incident urs, the other team would know about it immediately.

    However, tonight Qin Feng was feeling bold.

    He did not hesitate to choose another patrol to sabotage.

    ¡°Spatial Lock!¡±

    Bai Li unleashed a silver light, blocking out all surrounding noises and preventing any noise from spreading.

    Qin Feng suddenly rushed in.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber burst into a terrifying me as it tasted the night air.

    ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±

    The Grans saw Qin Feng but did not recognize him as a ve who had escaped before but as the one who killed theirrades.

    By now they did not have a chance to warn the others!

    Perhaps, maybe it was because these Grans thought that they could take him.

    Their hands suddenly sprouted sharp ws and they swooped down, ready to tear Qin Feng apart.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    A pulse of darkness erupted from Qin Feng¡¯s body onto the closest attacker, instantly making them feel lethargic.

    The Gran suddenly felt extremely ill, so weak that it did not even have enough strength to lift its arms!

    His sword shed and the Gran¡¯s head was removed

    ¡°B*stard!¡±

    ¡°y him!¡±

    These Grans cried out in arrogance, but they were no match against Qin Feng and his saber.

    Qin Feng had gotten stronger after absorbing the crystal cores of the Grans that Bai Li killed before. It could be said that every rank-up he achieved at this point made him even more terrifying inbat!

    Ten or sobatants, with Bai Li¡¯s help, meant that Qin Feng¡¯s fight did not take much effort.

    In less than five minutes, all ten were in.

    When Bai Li unlocked the space, the second group was already iing so she transferred the lock onto them.

    With this rinse and repeat method, Qin Feng managed to take down up to one hundred more Grans.

    ¡°Another attack!¡±

    ¡°Contact lost! Contact lost again!¡±

    ¡°I found him! There he is!¡±

    A Gran called out before a whole slew of them began to rush toward his position like a tidal wave of darkness.

    There were at least a hundred of them and many of them took out their weapons.

    Zap zap zap!

    A volley of energy bolts were fired in Qin Feng¡¯s direction, but with a sh of silver light Qin Feng and Bai Li disappeared from where they were at the same time.

    The Grans were very angry but there was nothing they could do!

    They felt that everything that could go wrong went wrong the moment theynded here and feared that they would die here too!

    Qin Feng did not run away in the midst of the chaos, but reached the other side of the camp instead.

    Then, it was another series of fights in the dark.

    As they say, a man with nothing feared nobody. Qin Feng basically came in with nobody else besides Bai Li, taking on the fights all by himself, but he was facing against a thousand enemies and he was throwing them for a loop.

    In just one night, he had hunted down and killed another two hundred of their numbers. Now the Grans did not dare send people out for patrol. They began to gather together as a group, leaving Qin Feng with no openings to engage.

    He sneered, did they really think that tactic would be enough to stop him?

    He stopped on a hill that was a thousand meters away and pulled out a massive cannon.

    Shwoop!

    A shell was loaded into the cannon with a satisfying noise.

    That shell was the strongest shell the Fengli Mercenary Troop owned. It was designed to take down beast kings and had enough power to wipe out a small colony!

    Just one shell was worth tens of billions, that was enough to emphasize just how deadly the thing was!

    ¡°Eat this!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes glinted with a chilling murderous intent as he pulled the trigger.

    The crystal energy shell let out a roar before it soared through the air.

    Under the guidance of consciousness, the shell uratelynded on the Grans¡¯ encampment.

    As they no longer had their machines, other than a general protective cover and a type ofmunicator device that warned them of dangers, they had no way of reacting to Qin Feng¡¯s attack at all.

    It waspletely unexpected!

    Boom!

    The darkness was illuminated by a bright white light, a ring of energy expanded from the epicenter of the attack.

    Then, a huge mushroom cloud rose from the point of impact after the light subsided, rising up into the air.

    Such destructive power was shocking!

    Bai Li took Qin Feng and they instantly reappeared next to the enemy¡¯s camp.

    The scene of the aftermath soon came into view.

 Chapter 413 - Lei Ying Dices With Death

    <h4>Chapter 413: Lei Ying Dices With Death</h4>

    The trees were scorched and there was a massive crater in the ground with a tangle of broken limbs lying within.

    While there was blood everywhere, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness detected that only two hundred Grans in the center had died.

    The rest were lightly injured, nothing too serious, but their energy shield was broken.

    From the darkness, Qin Feng reappeared in the shadow of a survivor and, using the Verdant Emperor Saber, he shed in a blue arc that carved through a Gran¡¯s chest.

    The energy crystal core was instantly knocked out!

    All signs of life disappeared!

    Qin Feng attacked and carved his way forward all by himself, having moved a few hundred meters in order to reach the edge of the crater.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    In the blink of an eye, arge mass of dark runes enveloped the bottom of the pit and made it impossible to see.

    In the darkness, Qin Feng mobilized his consciousness.

    ¡°Up!¡±

    Qin Feng was not here to just kill people, he was here to take away their energy cores.

    ¡°Store!¡±

    He was going to take what he saw!

    He then rapidly began to retreat.

    He left the Longchuan Mountains, arriving on the highway before pulling out the Silver Bolt.

    When he returned to Colony Three, all the aptitude users in the watchtowers looked at each other with confusion. They saw Qin Feng return yesterday, but they did not know how Qin Feng got out.

    What was more, the current Qin Feng was no longer a previously known D-tier aptitude user!

    A lone wolf, hunting down countless enemies stronger than he was, such a record brought him a great amount of glory.

    The guards opened the gates and watched him drive into the city.

    By 6¡¯o o¡¯clock in the morning, there was not a single soul to be seen in the Aptitude User¡¯s Hall.

    However, such ces worked 24 hours a day and there was still staff on duty there!

    ¡°I¡¯m here to submit my missions!¡± Qin Feng said.

    The staff here worked in shifts, swapping out between three people. The one manning the registration was the same person that Qin Feng had met before.

    He did not expect that he would be meeting the same person again immediately after he had just started his shift.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, could the mission you want to submit be rted to thetest situation?¡±

    This staff member recognized Qin Feng. Until now, Qin Feng had been going out on scouting missions to figure out the enemy¡¯s situation.

    ¡°How about you have a look for yourself?¡± Qin Feng said in a gentle manner as he put up hisbat video.

    ¡°Beep. The task has beenpleted. Sending reward.¡±

    In one night, Qin Feng had killed up to seven hundred enemies and the video once again attracted Xu Qing¡¯s attention. Although he did not personally show up this time, 10 billion was transferred to Qin Feng anyway.

    Inparison, the 532 billion that Qin Feng obtained from hunting was terrifying! That was more money than killing a beast emperor!

    Qin Feng¡¯s video was soon uploaded onto the battle.

    People began toe up with ideas after watching it. Maybe it was because of how easily Qin Feng fought that raised people¡¯s morale, or that because they saw that firearms seemed to be very effective. This caused many gunners to pick up their gears and get ready to mobilize.

    There were only six thousand five hundred people left in the Grans¡¯ army. If a bomb blew up two hundred, they could earn two hundred billion.

    This kind of profit was something that could not be passed up.

    Xu Qing watched Qin Feng¡¯s video on the battle and for a moment, he had a sense of admiration.

    ¡°Incredible. He inspired people to take action with his own methods!¡±

    Qin Feng had suggested to him to go and set up an ambush ahead of time, but Xu Qing hesitated and had doubts. He thought the Grans would miss Colony Three, maybe go to other colonies or maybe settle in the mountains.

    It was clear that this race of beings would not settle for the deep woods.

    They were moving.

    They were one day away from reaching Colony Three.

    However, Qin Feng managed to slow them down.

    After a night ofbat, the Grans were exhausted, injured and more importantly, shaken.

    Since they did not rest well, they decided to not advance and continued to rest at where they were. The conditions during the day were far better as they could see if there were any iing missiles.

    As such, they stopped moving.

    As for Qin Feng, he copsed onto his bed after a night of fighting.

    What he did not know was that people had begun taking action as well.

    That included Lei Ying.

    Lei Ying, Han Chengming and the others, along with their subordinates of at least two hundred D-tier aptitude users, carrying two hundred billion worth of ammunition, marched into the Longchuan Mountains.

    However, they had one massive oversight.

    Distance.

    Qin Feng had Bai Li¡¯s spatial maniption, but Lei Ying and the rest did not.

    After travelling for a long time, they still had not found any signs of the Grans.

    The Grans were resting and healing themselves throughout the morning. By the afternoon they had all be fully rested and regained their powerful resilience and were full of energy again.

    Then, they set out once more!

    They still sent a small patrol forward, because of their unique flying ability their perception was far stronger than a human¡¯s.

    At three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, a Gran hovered through the air and suddenly used itsmunicator to transmit a message.

    ¡°I¡¯ve spotted the natives of this ne. All except for five adults have weak auras, but it could be defective hardware!¡±

    The Grans considered those with C-tier capabilities as adults, anything lower were naturally considered less than nothing to them.

    ¡°Be cautious and stay hidden, perhaps the person fromst night is here!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s avoid them and stay together!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t rush, no point dying alone. We will go together!¡¯

    Once the message was sent out, several more came in response and stealthily began to approach.

    Countless of them gathered into a swarm.

    Shink!

    The ws of a Gran jammed into the chest of a D-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°Gaaaah!¡±

    The unsuspecting D-tier let out a scream before it was quickly cut short. His heart had been removed!

    Fresh blood invigorated the Grans. They had been battered for two days and desperately needed a way to vent their frustration.

    They came in like a pack of wolves upon a flock of sheep.

    Not only that, there were too few sheep for this pack of wolves!

    It was aplete massacre!

    ¡°Run!¡±

    ¡°Sir! Save me! Sir?!¡±

    ¡°Aaiee!¡±

    People screamed in misery but there was nothing they could do to fight off this feast of vengeance.

    ¡°Crashing Thunder!¡±

    Lei Ying wanted to survive, no longer caring about those around him as he unleashed a powerful ability.

    A true C-tier aptitude user was more powerful than some expensive artillery shell.

    The sky darkened as storm clouds manifested overhead, rumbling before a resounding st of thunder crashed down toward the ground.

    It trembled even the soul.

 Chapter 414 - Commotion

    <h4>Chapter 414: Commotion</h4>

    The thunders struck on the Grans, which electrocuted and numbed them.

    ¡°What are you guys waiting for? Fall back with a waymark now!¡± Lei Ying yelled.

    However, not everyone had prepared a spatial waymark beforehand.

    Lei Ying was surrounded by silver lights, and he disappeared on the spot the next moment.

    ¡°Lei Ying, you son of a b*tch!¡± Wang Jian howled angrily.

    He was one of those who had not pre-constructed a waymark.

    Ten Grans cornered Wang Jian and smashed his inner power shield with their sharp ws.

    Wang Jian retaliated mightily by exerting all the power that he still had.

    However, he realized that killing these Grans was not as simple as Qin Feng had shown in the video. They had been too optimistic about this ambush.

    Wang Jian raised his weapon to his chest level to block an attacking from his back, only to find himself sent flying by the Gran¡¯s mere strength.

    Another Gran appeared in front of him and grabbed on his shoulder.

    Ssh!

    A piece of flesh was scraped off his body.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    Wang Jian struggled. It somehow only dyed the inevitable.

    The next moment, the sharp nail of a Gran beheaded Wang Jian. The huge impact bounced his head high in the air, which then dropped back hard onto the ground and rolled into a puddle.

    Despite being a C-tier aptitude user, Wang Jian could not even die with his body intact.

    In the end, out of the two hundred people that joined the ambush, only half of them had brought along a spatial waymark and managed to escape.

    Normally, a party would retreat together through a proper spatial tunnel. But the Grans did not give them any opening to prepare one.

    Just like how they had brutally massacred Gao Yukang¡¯s team thest time.

    More so, the Grans did not lose a single soldier after the battle. This greatly boosted their morale.

    ¡°Oh, lord! Look at this thing that I found!¡± One of the Grans eximed.

    In his hand was a silver spatial rune equipment.

    ¡°Spatial stone!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe spatial stones exist in this dimension!¡±

    ¡°Great! We can return home with this!¡±

    They were thrilled by the new discovery.

    But soon after, they turned grim after remembering their lostrades.

    Grans were a race that thrived by war and bloodshed.

    ¡°Why not have our kinde here instead?¡±

    The other Grans looked at each other. Immense hatred began to emerge on their faces.

    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡±

    ¡°Open the channel and let our kin in!¡±

    ¡°We should ask for more soldiers to colonize this dimension!¡±

    ¡°The species that dominates this dimension is not that strong!¡±

    ¡°If those are the best fighters they have, then they won¡¯t stand a chance!¡±

    The Grans excitedly discussed their takeover strategy.

    Then, they ravaged the battlefield rapidly and gathered the spatial rune equipment. The amount was too little for the Grans to execute their grand n.

    But they were now fueled to kill and snatch more of them from the weaker human beings.

    The newfound purpose enthused the Grans. They continued to approach human civilization.

    ***

    At the same time, Lei Ying who returned to Longchuan in a bad shape immediately rushed to the certification hall to deliver the warning.

    The merciless Grans wereing at them now!

    Since there were so many humans in Colony Three, it was only time the Grans would find this ce following Lei Ying¡¯s trail.

    Lei Ying shouted urgently once he stepped inside the hall, ¡°I have intel for General Xu!¡±

    Though C-tier and B-tier were only separated by one level, there was a huge gap between the two in terms of social status. Lei Ying did not have Xu Qing¡¯s personal contact. The only way to reach higher personnel, like everyone else, is bying to the certification hall.

    ¡°Please wait for a while. I will inform the general now.¡± One staff member said carefully and ran upstairs.

    At the same time, many aptitude users had heard about the news and were gathered at the hall. They began to question him.

    ¡°Mr. Lei, what¡¯s all this about?¡±

    ¡°Han, say something! Don¡¯t leave us hanging!¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s Wang Jian? I saw him heading out with you all!¡±

    Han Chengming and Liu Yi did not say anything and looked on in despair.

    The death of a C-tier was a huge deal. To put it inly, they had abandoned Wang Jian to bolt like a coward. If someone were to figure that out, they would be held responsible for his death.

    ***

    Qin Feng was inside the training room to coach his mercenaries when Lei Ying was making amotion at the hall.

    His members looked at him admirably. They never expected Qin Feng to have such an in-depth insight into ancient martial arts.

    Of course, Qin Feng did not teach them anything regarding ability. After all, his ability was gained through the Hell Stone, his absorption ability, as well as his otherworldly conscious power.

    These were not the things you could just teach to someone. Thus, he could not do anything to help the ability users like Chen Xiang, who were struggling with their powers.

    ¡°Boss, we¡¯ve got news!¡± Chen Xiang reported to Qin Feng after he received the development through themunicator.

    ¡°What news?¡±

    Chen Xiang immediately told him about Lei Ying¡¯s embarrassment.

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°Come, Bai Li. This is going to be interesting.¡±

    ¡°Another mission? I thought we were running out of time?¡± Despite theint, Bai Li was ready to go.

    ¡°No. It¡¯s just a show that I cannot miss.¡±

    ***

    Inside the certification hall, Xu Qing walked down and was shocked to see Lei Ying covered in blood.

    ¡°What happened?¡± Xu Qing asked solemnly.

    Lei Ying gripped his hand and told him what they had gone through in the past few hours.

    Xu Qing pulled a long face.

    ¡°Show me the video!¡±

    ¡°Sorry general. I didn¡¯t get to do the recording just now as everything happened too quickly. Let me ask my men whether anyone got it on video.¡±

    Xu Qing was bemused to the point where he found this rather amusing.

    ¡°Lei Ying! Why didn¡¯t you stay put to protect the colony in such a critical time? What¡¯s going on in your goddamn mind? Ambush the enemy, really? If you can pull it off, then fine. But you came back to tell me that half of your team, including Wang Jian, are dead! Can you bear the consequences? It seems to me you are actually giving freebies to the enemy!¡± Xu Qing fired at him ceaselessly.

    Lei Ying¡¯s face could not be any darker. He had not been scolded like this for years. He resisted the urge to talk back. Veins could be seen pulsing visibly near his temple.

    ¡°Please use your f*cking brain! Qin Feng warned us yesterday that those monsters would not stop moving even though they had been attacked the night before. Do you think they would stay at the same ce like an idiot to be bombed the second time?¡± Xu Qing was maddened by Lei Ying¡¯s dumb action.

    Some people among the crowd felt the heat too. After all, there were people like Lei Ying who had nned to take the same action. The only difference was that ly difference was that they did not move as fast as Lei Ying.

    After all, they had seen how easily Qin Feng had managed to crash the Grans¡¯ camp. If they were already injured, was it not a golden opportunity to finish them off with more people and more bombs?

    No one had ever considered the possibility that the Grans could still easily overwhelm humans even when they were not in their best shape. They were relieved that Lei Ying, but not them, was the one who figured it out in the most tragic manner.

 Chapter 415 - Stupidity

    <h4>Chapter 415: Stupidity</h4>

    When Lei Ying heard Qin Feng¡¯s name, he finally lost it like a startled cat.

    ¡°It¡¯s all Qin Feng¡¯s fault!¡±

    Lei Ying had lost too much. He had invested hundreds of billions of ammunition and had more than twenty D-tier aptitude users sacrificed in the failed ambush. These were Leitang¡¯s precious assets that he had umted painstakingly over the years.

    The disastrous ambush pained him both mentally and financially. He had every reason to me it on Qin Feng for the huge loss.

    ¡°If not because the brat had taken multiple actions and uploaded the video, I would not have been tempted tounch the ambush. It¡¯s impossible to kill those beasts so easily. I am sure those videos were made-up hoaxes!¡±

    Xu Qing did not even know what to say about Lei Ying anymore.

    Qin Feng had actually suggested ambushing the Grans but definitely not in the same way Lei Ying had executed it. Lei Ying¡¯s action was in stupidity.

    ¡°You arecking in both execution and brain cells. More pathetically, you don¡¯t even have the gut to bear responsibility for your own failure...¡± Someone in the crowd spoke unhurriedly.

    The crowd looked toward the direction of the voice. They subconsciously made way for the person, despite being C-tier aptitude users themselves.

    The presence of Lei Ying only further underscored Qin Feng¡¯s excellence as a tactician. Thetter had earned his respect from the crowd.

    Qin Feng held Bai Li¡¯s hand and walked to the center of attention. He stood in front of Lei Ying and Xu Qing. His face carried a mocking smile. ¡°Lei Ying, how old are you now? I would have thought that you are just a theorist in a university instead of a soldier in the frontline, judging by your naivety.¡± Qin Feng¡¯s words were full of sarcasm.

    The crowds were amused andughed boisterously.

    If Lei Ying tried to push the me to Qin Feng in front of Leitang¡¯s men, then maybe his underlings would have echoed him.

    But shifting the me in the middle of the hall in front of a B-tier general was just a brainless act.

    His arrogance had gotten the better of him. Lei Ying¡¯s action only revealed how narrow-minded and self-centered a person he was in front of the crowd. Everyone in the crowd lost their respect toward him.

    ¡°Quiet!¡± Xu Qing bellowed. He had grown tired of Lei Ying¡¯s clown act. Qin Feng appeared even more amiable in front of Lei Ying.

    ¡°Now is not the time tough. Don¡¯t you guys understand what¡¯s going to happen soon?¡±

    Theughter slowly died down. The same horrible thought began to creep into everyone¡¯s mind.

    ¡°Qin Feng, tell them what¡¯s going to happen next!¡± Xu Qing asked.

    Qin Feng did not shy away. ¡°At first, the Grans would probably be too frightened to make another move after losing some of their soldiers in the past two days. Unexpectedly, one of ourrades, Lei Ying here, had generously given them a lifeline. With the encouraging battle oue, the Grans¡¯ spirit must have been revitalized. I bet they are already on their way toward the colony.¡±

    His words sent a dark cloud over everyone¡¯s mind. The C-tier aptitude users in this hall were at the same level as Lei Ying and Wang Jian.

    If Wang Jian could not survive against the Grans, then they probably would not stand a very high chance too.

    If they wished to live, then the only way was to desert the colony.

    But deserting before an imminent war would leave a bad record in their profile. Worse still, they might be given a warning by the Human Alliance and have their certification revoked.

    Qin Feng watched the crowd and continued, ¡°Based on my prediction, the Grans will reach Colony Three quickest by 5 hours and notter than 7 hours.¡±

    Xu Qing nodded in agreement and ordered, ¡°So stop standing here and prepare for battle!¡±

    ¡°Yes! General!¡±

    The crowd left the hall in heavy footsteps.

    Lei Ying, too, left grudgingly. He hade to the certification hall not to be mocked by the others. Instead, his n was to inform Xu Qing about the movement of the Grans, hoping that he would be rewarded tens of billions for providing intel like Qin Feng.

    All he got was being publicly shamed. Lei Ying was even holding a grudge over Xu Qing now.

    But that was not his immediate concern at the moment. Lei Ying gathered his remaining troop and went back to his base. He needed to tend to his wound and set up a proper defense.

    Two hourster, a spatial portal appeared on top of Longchuan Colony Three. Two figures flew out from it not long after.

    Xu Qing, who was in the certification hall, opened his eyes sensing the arrival. He walked to the entrance to wee the guests. The two hovering figures saw him and descended. They reached Xu Qing in the blink of an eye.

    ¡°Xu Qing!¡±

    ¡°Wang Zhou, Guang Wei!¡±

    They shook hands and greeted each other.

    Those inside the colony knew that the Human Alliance had dispatched two B-tier aptitude users from other Longchuan fortresses to aid Colony Three¡¯s defense.

    After all, this was where an all-out war would most likely erupt.

    ***

    Five hourster.

    The Grans had flown non-stop. They had reached the edge of Longchuan Mountain and would see the colony if they continued to move forward.

    But it was already eight in the evening. The sun had set by now even though it was summertime.

    The Grans could not help but recalled the mysterious creature that had hunted them in the dark the night before.

    That ¡°thing¡± was probably the same species as those that had attacked them today. However, he was far more superior aspared to those weaklings this morning.

    ¡°We will rest for now and continue our march tomorrow during the day.¡±

    ¡°Good idea!¡±

    ¡°Damn it. Let¡¯s look for some food. I have not eaten for two days.¡±

    ¡°Yea! We need to battle with a full stomach. Who knows the ves here might be too primitive to have proper food in their base?¡±

    The Grans set into motion quickly. Thanks to their otherworldly battle capacity, most beasts living in the Longchuan Mountains were being hunted down.

    Food for six thousand and five hundred Grans was not a small amount. Besides, they craved more after battling on an empty stomach for two days. It was highly inconvenient for them after they had lost their nutrient solution supply.

    The Grans stationed on a hill after the meal and set up their camp.

    On the other side of the hill, inside Colony Three that the Grans had yet to discover, the scout at the border had detected the Grans that were 20 km away.

    To the elites, such distance was just about ten minutes away. So this distance had long been included within the scouting perimeter of the Longchuan surveince drones.

    Everyone inside the colony got nervous.

    They had seen the Grans and their activities through themunicator.

    A new map then came up on themunicator disying concentrated purple spots near the hill. The amount of detected movement reflected six thousand beasts swarming the hill. That was an absurd number.

    Even with a few B-tier aptitude users in the colony, they still feel that Colony Three could be easily trampled over by the Grans in a few hours.

    At this moment, the aptitude users based inside the colony felt utterly hopeless.

 Chapter 416 - A Chance

    <h4>Chapter 416: A Chance</h4>

    The Grans had stopped for a breather. They were unaware that soldiers in the Longchuan camp had already set their sights on them.

    Despite his stupidity, Lei Ying at least did return with useful information¡ªThe potential arrival of the Grans.

    When Qin Feng saw that the Grans had stopped their march and begun to hunt for food, he murmured, ¡°A chance!¡±

    He figured that this might be a rare opening.

    ¡°Gunners, carry your most powerful ammunition ande with me.¡±

    Members of the Fengli Mercenary Troop were in high spirits hearing that.

    Ten gunners and five ability users moved behind Qin Feng covered by the dark. Even the aptitude users inside the city had not noticed them owing to Qin Feng¡¯s Dark Shroud.

    Soon, they reached a hignd that was about 5 km away from the Grans¡¯ camp. This distance was the maximum range Qin Feng could use his dark ability to mask the flying bomb.

    ¡°Set up theuncher, fast!¡± Qin Feng controlled his voice with inner power so that it was only audible to his men.

    The gunners took out their kits and swiftly assembled fifteenunchers in one row.

    Qin Feng obviously thought that it was not enough so he ordered Bai Li to take out another twentyunchers. The ammunition of suchunchers cost at least ten billion.

    Of course, Qin Feng did not buy any of it. These weapons were found in the stash they had plundered from the Xue family.

    Ever since he found sess in using auncher against the Grans, he had preinstalled all theunchers at hand and kept it in Bai Li¡¯s space.

    ¡°Remember to immediately retreat into the spatial portal and go back to Colony Three after the bombing. Don¡¯t linger around to disassemble theunchers. I will take care of them.¡±

    ¡°Ready!¡±

    The other members nodded in silence.

    Qin Feng made a final adjustment on the bombing angle, then unleashed his consciousness.

    ¡°Fire!¡±

    Everyone pressed on the trigger almost simultaneously.

    Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! Bomb!

    Thirty-five bombs wereunched at once, which made a truly magnificent scene.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness caught up to the bombs quickly and wrapped them with dark runes, which turned them invisible under the dark sky.

    ***

    Inside Colony Three.

    ¡°It seems like the Grans are not going to attack today.¡±

    ¡°This will be thest day of peace. I wonder whether we can live past tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Wait, listen. What¡¯s this noise that the drones are picking up?¡±

    ¡°This is...¡±

    Everyone who paid attention to the signal was stunned.

    This was a familiar sound. The sound of bombs breaking through the airspace.

    They then saw some shadows sh across the night sky. It was hard to have a clean look as Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness and dark runes were barring the bombs from being seen or sensed.

    Except for the sound, which could still travel as long as it was not in a vacuum.

    However, the sound could only be caught from a near distance. It was already toote for the Grans when they heard it.

    The onlookers inside the colony soon witnessed a horrifying scene.

    Numerous shockwaves resulting from the st covered an area of about a thousand meter wide.

    Judging by the scale of the st, it was easy to estimate that at least thirty bombs had been used.

    ¡°Whounched the attack?¡±

    ¡°Damn! Would the Grans survive such a gruesome attack?¡±

    ¡°This person... F*ck! Let¡¯s move out. Let¡¯s go now! It¡¯s our chance!¡±

    The aptitude users inside the colony finally realized that someone had grabbed the opportunity and moved ahead of them.

    These aptitude users knew that bombs were the most effective strategy against the Grans but none of them made the call. They were still under shellshock after seeing how badly defeated Lei Ying was.

    Hence, they subconsciously avoided confronting the Grans and bet their best hopes on the B-tier aptitude users.

    But to everyone¡¯s surprise, someone had taken the initiative.

    Besides, it was not even a probing attack but a full-scale bombing that was intended to wipe out the Grans.

    At the same time, Bai Li had activated several spatial rune equipment to create a home passage near the hignd.

    The fifteen aptitude users were excited and hung around to view their masterpiece onest time. Never did they think that they would be part of such a heroic feat.

    Of course, this was all thanks to Qin Feng¡¯s decisiveness.

    After all, though theunchers cost nothing, Qin Feng did still need to spend on the ammo. Such a destructive coverage bombardment was glorious.

    Qin Feng¡¯s mission did not end here after everyone else had retreated. He wanted to enter the camp and check the results with his own eyes.

    Furthermore, he was determined to im the Grans¡¯ power cores.

    ¡°Come!¡± Bai Li dragged Qin Feng¡¯s arm after the others had left.

    In the next moment, Qin Feng and Bai Li had re-appeared nearly a thousand meters away after a silver sh.

    A few jumpster, Qin Feng could feel the heat wave. The surroundings were burning as a result of the explosion.

    The bombardments had taken out at least half of the Grans. This meant that they were now only left with three thousand soldiers, and these soldiers were all heavily injured.

    ¡°Die!¡± Qin Feng unsheathed his Verdant Emperor Saber and attacked mightily.

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    Magma erupted from the ground and swallowed those Grans that had lost their wings. The Grans shrieked in fear.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to die!¡±

    ¡°Help!¡±

    Unfortunately, no one could help them. This was because, for those that were still able to fly, they had nowhere to run either.

    ¡°Decaying Rain!¡±

    A daunting dark cloud abruptly appeared in the sky. Dark rainwater fell from it and bathed the Grans. Their skins corroded instantly once they came into contact with the rain.

    Qin Feng was like a moving disaster.

    ¡°Run! Quickly!¡±

    The Grans were utterly defeated.

    They abandoned their camp and fled in all directions.

    Qin Feng chased them like a madman but was unable to pin down everyst one of them.

    In the end, he obtained roughly three hundred fifty new power cores in his spatial equipment. Qin Feng then proceeded to gather all the loot found inside the camp and on the dead Grans as well.

    To his pleasant surprise, Qin Feng even found the spatial runes equipment the Grans had robbed from Lei Ying¡¯s party earlier.

    Then, he heard numerous piercing sounds approaching fast.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face changed. ¡°These opportunistic bastards!¡±

    It was obviously the friction of bombs grinding through the air.

 Chapter 417 - War Against the Grans

    <h4>Chapter 417: War Against the Grans</h4>

    Qin Feng might have been the first to act but the others quickly followed suit.

    The short distance could be reached within a few tens of minutes, to begin with. Theters even began to fire from five kilometers away. Qin Feng, who was still at the site, was naturally exposed to the barrage.

    ¡°Run!¡± Qin Feng shouted. Bai Li held Qin Feng¡¯s hand and instantly teleported a thousand meters away.

    Boom!

    A bomb exploded behind Qin Feng.

    However, bombing the area was just a waste of energy now. The Grans had long deserted the camp!

    Those bombs were no different from blind shots. They were just repeating Lei Ying¡¯s mistake.

    After all, not everyone was like Qin Feng.

    They wanted Qin Feng¡¯s credit without having Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability and Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability.

    Hence, they had to reap what they sow.

    At the time, Grans only had less than three thousand soldiers left. They fled in all directions so some were inevitably running toward Colony Three.

    Roughly twenty Grans scrambled in a fluster as they could not tell where they were going in the dark. Then they saw the lighting off one of the muzzles.

    ¡°It¡¯s them. They are the ones who attacked us!¡±

    ¡°We will kill them even if it costs us our lives!¡±

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    The Grans growled! They fanned their wings at maximum speed.

    The aptitude users were running on a rather empty in without a lot of shrubs to cover them.

    The Grans plunged straight toward them without much of a hindrance.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    The Grans fired brightsers from their guns and the shot reached the running group within seconds.

    It was a miniature version of the floating city¡¯sser gun but it fired at a faster rate.

    C-tiers might be able to dodge it but it was too fast for a D-tier. One of the gunners could not react in time and got hit on the shoulder. In the next moment, his shoulder was no longer there. All that was left was ayer of skin.

    ¡°Argh!!¡± The gunner yelled in pain.

    The shouting further aggravated the Grans. They fired even more rapidly.

    Pew pew pew!

    Another three D-tier aptitude users were instantly put down.

    ¡°Kill them all!¡± The Grans showed no mercy.

    In less than five minutes, the small group of twenty D-tier aptitude users was instantly killed. The troop leader, who was a C-tier, also did not manage to escape.

    ¡°Kill them! They are weak. Only the bombs are scary!¡±

    The Grans contacted theirrades and converged toward Colony Three.

    Qin Feng immediately appeared beside the twenty-man team and triggered his ability undetected.

    Three minutester, the twenty Grans were killed too.

    But Qin Feng¡¯s night vision could see that more than a few hundred Grans were approaching in their direction fast.

    ¡°Retreat at once if you don¡¯t want to die!¡±

    Qin Feng sent the warming through hismunicator.

    Unfortunately, the others on the field refused to listen or maybe it was already toote for them to run.

    Most groups had been cornered by the Grans.

    ¡°Hahaha! Kill them!¡±

    ¡°Kill them all!¡±

    ¡°Chase them! I am going to rip them apart!¡±

    The aptitude users who rushed out from the colony finally grasped the still overwhelming number of Grans left. They were deeply frightened and regretted their recklessness.

    ¡°Run!¡±

    ¡°Get back!¡±

    They used everything they had¡ªweapons, skills, abilities¡ªto keep themselves alive.

    But in the end, they were unable to outrun the Grans.

    The Grans flew and dived like an eagle aiming at the running humans on the ground. A Grannded precisely on top of its target and its ws soon prated the prey¡¯s head.

    ¡°Ahhh!!!¡±

    The aptitude user¡¯s shriek then turned into silence as his head was being forcefully detached from his body.

    The others dared not look back.

    They hade unprepared and there was no way they could defeat a Gran. The Grans were all equivalent to a C-tier beast.

    The Grans gathered once again. Even though their numbers had been halved, an army of around three thousand alien soldiers was still pretty daunting.

    They tirelessly pped their wings and killed whomever that crossed their paths onward to the human colony.

    The terrified users who ran back to Colony Three led the Grans straight back to their base.

    This ce was only half an hour away from the Grans¡¯ temporary camps on the other side of the hill.

    ¡°So this is the city of the lowly species?¡±

    ¡°Such a primitive civilization!¡±

    ¡°They are extremely weak! Kill them all!¡±

    ¡°Revenge!¡±

    The Grans were born violent. The urge to kill was boiling inside their blood now.

    They were extremely furious after understanding that they had been fooled earlier.

    In fact, the human race was extremely weak. Only one or two elites among them were trying to scare them away using the guerri tactic.

    After exposing the true strength of the Human Alliance, the Grans felt that they had been humiliated multiple times in the past few days.

    Such anger was followed by the desire to destroy everything on sight.

    The Grans charged forward angrily.

    Actually, the Human Alliance had already lost about three hundred aptitude users to the Grans outside the city. This caused some parts of the city to be void of defense now.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li teleported back into a quiet alley.

    It was a concealed passage at about fifty meters long. This was the ce where they would have a final battle with the Granster.

    ***

    Everyone¡¯s breath became heavier.

    Some watched toward the sky, while some looked down at theirmunicators.

    On top of the certification hall, a man stepped out silently. It was Xu Qing. He stood there calmly and imposingly.

    The Grans noticed Xu Qing and they dived toward him angrily. Any human was a pest in their eyes now and deserved the most brutal death.

    Xu Qing jumped to the air and brought out his long sword.

    The sword was at least two meters long and weighed heavily. He swung the sword and struck one of the Grans.

    The Gran instantly split into half like Xu Qing was cutting tofu. The debilitated beast plunged straight to the ground.

    Xu Qing moved in zig-zag and attacked frantically. Then, he made a half turn and slid his sword around 180 degrees. The inner force infused into the de sted off along with the de motion.

    In one shot, six Grans were cut into half at the waistline. They were no match to Xu Qing, who was a formidable B-tier user.

    Wang Zhou and Guang Wei joined in on the battle as well.

    Wang Zhou had chosen the tallest building inside Colony Three. He was tall and possessed two thick arms. Hanging on those muscr arms now were two half-a-meter long machine guns.

    The guns had multiple muzzles that were shaped like a beehive. The guns were connected to a power tong on Wang Zhou¡¯s back. He was a rare B-tier gunner.

    Wang Zhou raised both of his arms. Soon, white-colored sma bullets shot out toward the sky like fireworks. The Grans that he aimed at fell to the ground one after another.

    On the other hand, a pair of ice blue gloves was seen on Guang Wei¡¯s hand. Frosty wings appeared on his back as soon as he put on the gloves.

    Guang Wei ascended to the sky and threw a punch with his right fist. A st of ice exploded from his punch and spread out a few hundred meters.

    Thirty Grans were instantly frozen by Guang Wei¡¯s skill. He was seemingly unbeatable.

 Chapter 418 - Heavy Casualties

    <h4>Chapter 418: Heavy Casualties</h4>

    B-tier aptitude users were too powerful!

    It might be a little exaggerated to assume that they could go against tens of thousands of enemies at one time, however, it would be a piece of cake for them to handle the enemies in hundreds.

    Furthermore, the Grans were restricted and could onlyunch attacks from the sky.

    It was impossible for them to cause any significant harm toward the B-tier aptitude users.

    The Grans broke out in cold sweats again.

    Their weapons were destroyed from the explosions earlier, hence, it was highly unlikely for them to kill all three of the B-tier aptitude users with their sharp ws.

    ¡°Steal, and take away the spatial stones from the weak!¡±

    ¡°Spread out, and avoid being forced to fight them!¡±

    ¡°Kill, and take down the others!¡±

    The numbers of Grans had spiked.

    A hundred of them remained around the three B-tier aptitude users, while the others had gone into the city.

    One of them was walking on the streets when an unexpected rock fell from the sky and hit its body, and as soon as it managed to crawl back up, a group of ancient warriors that hade out of nowhere threw punches at him.

    One of them was an ancient warrior that was fairly capable.

    In the blink of an eye, the Gran was besieged to death by an inundation of ancient warriors.

    However, within a short moment, tens of Grans had arrived at the scene, and every one of the aptitude users that had exposed themselves were being mercilessly ughtered.

    There were only three hundred C-tiers that had arrived at Colony Three, while the remaining five thousand D-tier aptitude users had failed the ambush at the outer city, and a thousand of them had been annihted by retaliation.

    Despite the efforts, the aptitude users were unable to pose any significant threat when they were facing against the Grans.

    The only determining factor was Qin Feng¡¯s presence at the scene!

    Qin Feng was different from any other ordinary D-tier.

    Tens of Grans glided across the sky at a low altitude, they were aiming to look for humans and kill them for their spatial rune equipment.

    Qin Feng struck from the dark with his deadly attack.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    ¡°Dark Ray!¡±

    In the blink of an eye, thebat power of the Grans had almost been drained out.

    Members of the Fengli Mercenary Troopunched their attacks from the dark.

    The Grans were being ughtered mercilessly like helpless sheep; they were instantly torn into pieces.

    From Qin Feng¡¯s past encounters with the Grans, none of the Grans had managed to capture him, and all of them were dead.

    Hence, they had no idea that Qin Feng was the devil who had haunted them.

    As they had sensed Qin Feng¡¯s ¡°weakness¡± and assumed that he was incapable of posing any significant threat, they Grans were rushing toward Qin Feng.

    Furthermore, as the number of fallen aptitude users grew, the Grans had shifted their attention toward Qin Feng.

    Also, some of the aptitude users who were escaping had flocked toward Qin Feng to seek assistance.

    Surprisingly, Qin Feng¡¯s team was growing bigger.

    They were on par with the numbers of the Grans.

    Battle cries echoed and channeled to the sky!

    However, the majority of the people in Longchuan Colony Three were being evacuated.

    Aptitude users were being torn apart from their chests, and skulls were being disintegrated.

    The smell of fresh blood filled the entire area of the colony.

    It was a brutal ughter!

    Beep beep beep beep!

    Qin Feng was alerted by an urgent notification from hismunicator.

    ¡°Commander, there is an order from the general, everyone shall retreat and take cover at a safe ce!¡± Chen Xiang took a peek at hismunicator.

    It was a news announcement by Xu Qing.

    The number of Grans was too overwhelming!

    Despite facing against bombings from Qin Feng, the damages had not stopped them from marching forward and continuing on with their attacks. However, the battle that hadsted for three hours resulted in a thousand lost lives for the Grans, and the majority of them were killed by the B-tier aptitude users!

    Unfortunately, there were three thousand D-tier aptitude users that had been killed at the same time.

    The numbers were terrifying.

    If the battle were to go on for another hour, all of the D-tier aptitude users could even vanishpletely!

    It was indeed a disastrous impact toward the Human Alliance.

    ¡°Retreat!¡±

    Qin Feng shouted.

    The Fengli mercenaries were fully prepared for it, and they began to coordinate themselves for the retreat.

    As for the wounded D-tiers that had lost theirmanders, they also followed those that were from Fengli colony to fall back.

    One of the Grans continued the pursuit and was instantly met by Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Dragon Style.

    ¡°Do you think that you could still get away with that when I am here?¡±

    The Gran was instantly shrouded by mes that swept across it and was tossed away.

    Boom!

    Its body was engulfed in mes and it was thrown onto a tall building.

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    The Grans looked toward Qin Feng with their blood-red eyes, they were consumed by the anger that provoked them to tear Qin Feng into pieces.

    However, there was no way that they could do that!

    Although they might have stronger capabilities than Qin Feng, Qin Feng was equipped with dark abilities that could diminish their energy instantly, with that, they could be instantly killed by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Fengnded his final sh onto the Grans and went ahead to catch up with the team.

    The Fengli mercenaries had gradually arrived at the entrance of an underground parking space.

    ¡°Everyone get down there, identify our casualties! Take cover!¡± Qin Feng shouted.

    ¡°Affirmative!¡±

    The crowd answered unequivocally.

    Every had immense trust toward Qin Feng and would not oppose any of his suggestions.

    There were about two hundred people that were hiding at the safe defense base of the underground parking space.

    Only Qin Feng took guard at the entrance of the parking space and took on every terrifying attack from the Grans.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    The entrance was instantly divided by mes, and the heightened mes had formed into a veil that restricted any form of pration.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li guarded the spot.

    The numbers of corpses at the entrance of the parking space grew tremendously.

    One, two... ten... a hundred corpses!

    It was like an endless battle.

    There were no longer any Grans that came into Qin Feng¡¯s view.

    Perhaps they were afraid!

    ¡°Dadada... sss...¡±

    The loud noise from the guns nearby Qin Feng had stopped.

    At that moment, the wild gun firings were no longer heard, and those that were left behind noticed that the noises from the battle had diminished!

    The edge of the sky emerged in pale-white color.

    Unknowingly, another four hours had gone by, and it was already past four o¡¯ clock at dawn!

    ¡°Go away!¡±

    An enraged roar was heard from a tall building that was far away, the loud and deafening roar was channeled along with conscious energy.

    Conscious energy impact wave!

    It was Wang Zhou.

    Wang Zhou had run out of ammo.

    Furthermore, gunners would usually have lower physical energy!

    Wang Zhou was the first who became exhausted by the hard-fought battle thatsted throughout the night.

    At that moment, the Grans were enlightened by hope, they went wild and began to rush toward Wang Zhou.

    There were fifty of them that were left around Wang Zhou!

    Wang Zhou hopped from a tall building to another while continuing the attacks.

    However, within the blink of an eye, Wang Zhou was being forced to a corner with nowhere to escape.

    It was at that moment, scorching mes descended from the sky.

    ¡°Fire Dragon!¡±

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    A gigantic fire dragon ramped through the crowd and tossed the Grans away.

    It was Qin Feng.

    In contrast to everyone else, Qin Feng¡¯sbat energy had not decreased at all.

    It was because of his devouring ability that had constantly fueled himself by consuming from the dead enemies.

    Qin Feng continued the battle and became more courageous.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng beheaded a Gran with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Dark rays exploded and several Grans were instantly paralyzed and fell onto the ground.

    ¡°Magma Burst!¡±

    The Grans were instantly surrounded by scorching magma.

    Qin Feng had only appeared for a minute, and he had already taken down seven enemies by just casting simple abilities and moves.

 Chapter 419 - Post-battle Conflict

    <h4>Chapter 419: Post-battle Conflict</h4>

    The remaining Grans had also sensed the unfavorable situation that they were in, and they immediately stopped diving down!

    At that moment, the sun had already risen from the edge of the sky, darkness was casted away, and thend was brightened up by the lights.

    Colony Three was filled with fresh blood and corpses, and it was like a dire battlefield.

    Most importantly, the Grans who looked up to the sky had noticed that they were only left with several survivors.

    ¡°Ah ah ah ah!¡± The Grans cried out in an unusual way.

    It was only after the long battle that they had noticed that the majority of them had not survived!

    ¡°Let¡¯s fall back!¡±

    The Grans broadcasted their conscious energy signal.

    It was also received by the humans that had survived.

    Everyone was shocked and in dismay.

    Theirmunicators were immediately adjusted to capture the situation on the outside via the remaining drones.

    Some of the Grans were seen again in the ruins of Colony Three, their numbers were easily identifiable by rough calction.

    Surprisingly, there were only about three hundred Grans that had survived.

    Guang Wei and Xu Qing were still dealing with some Grans, and their movements were slowing down.

    However, they still maintained their dominance.

    As soon as the Grans began to fall back, Xu Qing and Guang Wei instantly felt relieved.

    The Grans flew up high into the sky, and the B-tier aptitude users were also unable to pursue any further.

    At that moment, aptitude users that were hidden gradually came out, however, they were shocked by the scene and forfeited the idea in pursuing further.

    After all, they were only left with tens of C-tier aptitude users and more than a thousand D-tier aptitude users.

    ¡°General Wang, are you alright?¡± Qin Feng looked toward Wang Zhou and evaluated his condition.

    Wang Zhou took a deep breath, and all he could feel was numbness, and the pain on his shoulder that had intensified to an unbearable level.

    ¡°I am alright, d to have your assistance on this, you may check on the battlefield now!¡±

    ¡°It was my responsibility to contribute, now if you¡¯ll excuse me!¡± Qin Feng nodded and immediately raised his hand to set the corpses of the Grans on fire, and the remaining energy cores were taken away.

    As soon as the battle had ended, aptitude users returned to the scene again, they were energized and began to go for their loots.

    As the looting spot had already been assigned ordingly, hence, there was an unspoken rule on the loot distribution.

    However, there was nothing left on the streets where Qin Feng¡¯s Fengli Mercenary Troop was at!

    The reason was because of Qin Feng¡¯s practice to burn off the corpses and retrieve the cores.

    However, arge number of C and D-tiers had died within Colony Three.

    Many of the streets were empty!

    At that moment, the default was to distribute the remaining spatial rune equipment from the D and C-tiers that had died among the survivors.

    Although it might seem to be cruel, however, it was an idealpensation for the aptitude users that had gone through the tough battle.

    Fortunes from the dead!

    It was the most horrifying reward among all others.

    The crowd acted quickly to be the first to im their entitlement.

    Members of the Fengli Mercenary Troop went toward different directions.

    As Qin Feng had yed the core role throughout the battle, the Fengli Mercenary Troop had rarely appeared during the battle. Hence, they were able to secure zero casualties with only three heavily wounded members, and the mercenary outnumbered the others.

    Compared to other mercenaries that had suffered plenty of losses, the Fengli Mercenary Troop was in a better state.

    Qin Feng had cleaned up another street while there was no one there.

    Vigorous mes burned down several corpses of the Grans, while several bodies of other aptitude users were being checked on.

    Qin Feng frowned a little.

    He had made sure that there was no one around before he got there, however, there was no spatial rune equipment left.

    Only those that were still equipped on the body of the aptitude users were left.

    Unfortunately, the majority of the spatial rune equipment was broken!

    Qin Feng was struck by something, he remembered the spatial rune equipment that he had obtained during the bombings of the Grans¡¯ camp.

    All of a sudden, he had a bad feeling about it.

    ¡°Hopefully nothing bad will happen!¡±

    At that moment, Qin Feng was alerted by his beepingmunicator.

    ¡°Commander, we need you! We are facing the people from the Leitang Organization!¡± Gao Li reported the news.

    Longchuan Colony Three was not a huge area; hence, Qin Feng was able to locate Gao Li¡¯s location by spreading his conscious energy across.

    Qin Feng travelled separately with Bai Li, and Bai Li was the first to arrive!

    ¡°Are you looking for trouble?¡± Bai Li drew out her spatial whip from her waist. ¡°Do you have any idea what you have gotten yourself into?¡±

    Lei Ying seemed to be extremely agitated.

    Being an ultra beast herself, Bai Li was also deceptive in nature, and her attractive appearance had protected her from exposing her powerful capabilities.

    Also, those who were less capable would perceive Bai Li as a mighty figure, however, it would only take several days for them to forget all of it!

    Hence, her presence would often be regarded differently!

    Her solo encounter with Lei Ying had left him mad with rage.

    Qin Feng was not the only one with great arrogance, and it was shocking for Bai Li who had always been calm and unbothered by anything to make such a provoking statement.

    ¡°Totally arrogant and conceited!¡±

    Lei Ying was in high dudgeon.

    All of a sudden, a gigantic arm protector equipped with a massive energy core appeared on Lei Ying¡¯s right arm; from the appearance of it, it would at least be a D-tier emperor level item.

    The entire spatial rune equipment was overflowing with imposing dominance as it gleamed with beaming purple lights.

    ¡°Try me, and I will strike you into charcoal!¡±

    Bai Li seemed to be unbothered.

    In the next moment, her spatial whip had already beenshed out.

    Silver lights flickered and a spatial gap was formed.

    Lei Ying was instantly shocked and stepped back.

    ¡°I dare you!!!¡±

    Bai Li went ahead to attack!

    A crucial mandate by the Human Alliance was to prohibit fights driven by greed for loot at the end of battles.

    At that moment, a terrifying presence shrouded everyone.

    An ice cold aura struck everyone on the face, it was like mornings in the month of May, and it was as cold as the winter season.

    ¡°What are you doing? Tired of living? Unsatisfied with being a survivor of such a battle? I can fulfil your wish to end your life!¡±

    It was Guang Wei.

    The aptitude users immediately turned toward Guang Wei and greeted him.

    ¡°General Guang!¡±

    Lei Ying seemed to have found an aid, an evil sneer was immediately reflected on his face.

    ¡°General Guang, as you have seen, it was them that have made the first move!¡±

    At that moment, Qin Feng approached in a calm manner.

    ¡°She was just having fun with you; it¡¯s surprising to see Director Lei being such a coward!¡±

    Lei Ying immediately looked irritated and stared lividly at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Qin Feng, stop changing the topic, you have broken the rules, and you shall be punished!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a cold sneer and answered, ¡°What sort of rule, I did not know that such rules existed!¡±

    ¡°Are you really trying to break the rules? Conflicts driven by loot from post-battle are prohibited, is this your attempt of grant vition of the rules?¡±

    Gao Li immediately shouted furiously, ¡°Actually, we were here first, it seems like you are the one who is attempting to vite the rules by demanding that we leave!¡±

    Lei Ying instantly targeted Gao Li with his conscious energy, and he was about to suppress Gao Li with his domineering energy.

    However, he recalled the rules that had just been stated by himself and immediately stopped, and he gave Gao Li a cold stare.

    It seemed to indicate his intention to take on his revenge at ater time.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng acted like he was genuinely surprised. ¡°Is there such a rule? My apologies on that, those who were not aware of it should be forgiven, we should be the one at fault, my girlfriend and I have just awakenedst year; being an elder yourself, Director Lei, could you just give a little leeway?¡±

 Chapter 420 - Horrifying Scores

    <h4>Chapter 420: Horrifying Scores</h4>

    Qin Feng ended his sentence with a face filled with mockery!

    Lei Ying red furiously at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng had pointed out Lei Ying¡¯s old age.

    Actually, it was possible for Qin Feng to get away with it, after all, geniuses would always be favored by the Human Alliance.

    Furthermore, Bai Li¡¯s attack did not strike her opponent.

    At that moment, Guang Wei¡¯s cold stare instantly shifted toward Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    ¡°Seventeen years old?¡± Guang Wei looked toward the D-tier badges on their chests, he frowned and asked, ¡°Were you from any of the prestigious families? From the Dragon Capital?¡±

    The Dragon Capital was a mythical center of Huaxia, and also a sacred ce for aptitude users.

    ¡°How could that be possible, General Guang, you got me wrong; however, I do not have any other intentions, we were genuinely unaware of such rules!¡± Qin Feng maintained his calm and polite manner. However, he began to frown a little from within his heart.

    He was bothered by the negative emotions that he had sensed from Guang Wei.

    However, it was too mild, and Qin Feng was afraid to infringe the B-tier aptitude user with his conscious energy sensing.

    ¡°Hmm!¡± Guang Wei nodded as he swept his emotionless eyes across both of them, he answered, ¡°Lei Ying¡¯s team had suffered more severe losses, give this street to them, you may look around at other streets!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s calm expression did not falter as he looked toward Guang Wei.

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Qin Feng did not object to that, and the Fengli Mercenary Troop did not voice themselves either. However, there were still some of them that could not hold it in but to express their dissatisfaction on their faces.

    ¡°Let¡¯s move on!¡±

    Qin Feng led the others and left, while Bai Li also starred emotionlessly at Lei Ying and Guang Wei before turning around.

    Guang Wei stared at Bai Li¡¯s hand, the spatial whip had caught his attention.

    For the others, it was merely an insignificant post-battle incident. Despite the frustration, they soon shifted their attention toward the clean-up process and were no longer bothered by what happened.

    However, they soon realized that only the cores of the Grans were left, and the majority of the spatial rune equipment had gone missing.

    There were only one out of ten corpses that was left with equipment that was well hidden.

    The lucky survivors were puzzled, could it be someone that had already been there to take away the spatial rune equipment?

    Who could that be?

    Everyone was suspicious as they looked around.

    Of course, that onlysted for a short moment, some of the aptitude users had cleaned up the corpses of their deadrades; as for those who had been annihted entirely, it would require extra manpower from the Human Alliance.

    Certainly, the primary focus now would be the post-battle military aplishments.

    Everyone had high anticipation toward the reward which would be in the form of tokens.

    As the battle hade to an end, it was time for the final harvest.

    As most of the aptitude user hall was destroyed, everyone had gathered around the central square. Undoubtedly, the three generals stood in the middle while surrounded by about fifty C-tier aptitude users, and also a thousand D-tiers, at the outer ring.

    Of course, none of them moved forward.

    ¡°Beep beep beep, inspectionpleted, hunted kills 714!¡±

    ¡°Beep beep beep, inspectionpleted, hunted kills 752!¡±

    ¡°Beep beep beep, inspectionpleted, hunted kills 802!¡±

    Everyone was struck dumb by the numbers of the three generals.

    Of course, they did not care much about the reward as they were anticipating directpensation from the Human Alliance.

    Those would be B-tier equivalent resources.

    Hence, three of them maintained their emotionless expression throughout the entire inspection and immediately returned to rest at the aptitude user hall as soon as the inspection had ended.

    The battle was not over, after all, the remaining hundreds of Grans might return; for the sake of ending the battle sooner, as soon as they had had enough rest, the three generals might initiate another operation to wipe out the remaining Grans and put the battle to an end.

    At that moment, Wang Zhou waved toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng casually walked toward his direction and asked, ¡°General Wang, do you need something?¡±

    Wang Zhou nodded and answered, ¡°I prefer not to owe anyone a favor, as I will need to take care of some other taskster and not remain here, hence, is there anything that you wish to have now? If there is any, let me know.¡±

    Qin Feng had saved Wang Zhou¡¯s life and he wished to return the favor to Qin Feng.

    Any amount or items would be eptable.

    Certainly, it would be rude to have such a demand for others.

    Qin Feng paused for a short moment and answered, ¡°General Wang, if possible, I wish to enter into the higher management level of the Human Alliance earlier, also, to take up the governor role of the Four Cities of the North Sea!¡±

    Qin feng raised his palm and showed him Gao Yukang¡¯s badge.

    ¡°This is from Governor Gao Yukang, and he entrusted me with this responsibility before he died!¡±

    Wang Zhou was shocked for a moment, he nodded and continued, ¡°I will submit the request to the Human Alliance for you, with your current battle scores, I will utilize my Hero ss identity to grant you early ess into the higher management level!¡±

    ¡°My gratitude to you General Wang!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, if there is anything else, please contact me!¡±

    Wang Zhou passed on the number of hismunicator to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng noted it down, and Wang Zhou entered into the hover car and returned for a rest, he was exhausted from the battle that hadsted for an entire day. His main purpose for being there was only to bring peace to the public sentiment with his presence.

    After all, the number of deaths was horrifying!

    Xu Qing noticed that Wang Zhou had left, he came over and told Qin Feng, ¡°You did well, hopefully you will be able to join the higher management level of the Human Alliance soon!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, certainly!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded.

    Then, Xu Qing also left, while Guang Wei had already left as soon as the inspection ended.

    Everyone looked toward Qin Feng, they were proud of his recognition from two of the B-tier aptitude users.

    Boundless prospects ahead!

    Whereas some of the others viewed it differently, and they were filled with jealousy!

    Of course, Lei Ying was one of them.

    ¡°Commander Qin, why don¡¯t you go through the inspection first?¡±

    One person suggested.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, you first!¡±

    ¡°Yes, this time, you have contributed the most!¡±

    Everyone was eager to find out about Qin Feng¡¯s scores.

    Actually, there were tens of temporary counters built by the inspection department to ensure a swift inspection for everyone.

    However, everyone would not want to miss the opportunity to witness the miraculous moment of Qin Feng¡¯s inspection.

    There would often be heroes and miracles that would emerge from every battle, and they would most probably achieve greater heights by obtaining a huge amount of wealth from the rewards.

    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯ll go first then!¡±

    Qin Feng stepped forward and submitted his recordings.

    He had quite a lot of recordings.

    ¡°Beep beep beep, inspectionpleted, hunted kills 3419.¡±

    Everyone was shocked with their eyes wide open by the scores.

    It was utterly out of the ordinary!

    However, some came to and noticed that Qin Feng was the first person to have released mass coverage attacks.

    The scene recordings from the drones had proven that Qin Feng had secured a huge victory.

    It was tenfold of the reward.

    How could anyone not be jealous of such an aplishment?!

    A huge sum of funds was transferred into Qin Feng¡¯s personal terminal ount.

    Whenbined with previously obtained funds, it was a total of four hundred and fifty billion!

 Chapter 421 - Consciousness Connector

    <h4>Chapter 421: Consciousness Connector</h4>

    Even a B-tier aptitude user would have been jealous of those kinds of numbers!

    Fortunately, the three B-tiers had all left, otherwise Qin Feng¡¯s record would have just been a p to the face!

    ¡°Alright everyone, I¡¯ll be leaving now!¡± Qin Feng said.

    The crowd automatically parted for Qin Feng to pass. A D-tier that could remain calm and collected under the gaze of multiple C-tiers. Needless to say, he had a very strong mentality.

    Of course, they could not have known that Qin Feng had gone through rebirth!

    The Fengli Mercenary Troop followed him back to the battlefield. Although the ground was littered with bodies, there were always some residents¡¯ homes on the streets that could provide them with some shelter.

    Life on the front was not going to be as luxurious and peaceful as the rear colonies, but nobody was going toin.

    After all, their spirits were too high.

    They did not need to individually verify their videos, after all, there were other kinds of monitoring equipment already watching them and after a team was formed, their performance was measured as a whole.

    The person who contributed the most was Qin Feng.

    ¡°Everyone gets 30 billion per person, 10 billion in addition for firearm subsidies and the deputy head gets 50 billion. Does anyone have any objections to that?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    How could they have any objections when they could not help but get excited!

    Thirty billion after one night of battling was enough.

    What was more, this was not just simply said by Qin Feng. The mercenary troop itself relied on Qin Feng as the mainstay. He got seven tenths of the spoils while they got three tenths, not only that he had even put out an additional 200 billion!

    The money was gradually transferred to each of them and those in the group all had smiles on their faces, anticipating the moment they got to announce just how much they had gained so the whole world would know about their wealth.

    After all, an ordinary D-tier could only umte ten billion after several decades.

    ***

    Three dayster in Longchuan Colony Three, things seemed to have calmed down with the Grans being nowhere in sight. The three B-tiers set out in search of them but came up with no signs whatsoever.

    Since there were no longer that many Grans, the Human Alliance¡¯s top resource could not be wasted here so Xu Qing and Wang Zhou were transferred away. The only one who stayed was Guang Wei.

    Qin Feng knew about this, and received Wang Zhou¡¯s message.

    ¡°The news about you asking to be governor has already been sent up thedder, but for the time being you¡¯ll be acting governor. The title will only be official when you reach C-tier.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, General!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee. Oh, by the way, someone will being over tonight with a consciousness connector to teach you how to use it. The Human Alliance¡¯s innerwork has a lot of treasures that you¡¯re not aware about. Take care of it, you¡¯re being allowed in at a very early stage!¡±

    ¡°Right, I understand!¡±

    ¡°Alright then, I¡¯m off now!¡±

    Wang Zhou and Qin Feng both ended their calls.

    That night, just as expected, someone entered the hotel that Qin Feng was located in. She was a beautiful D-tier aptitude user with long hair.

    The group of D-tiers that had been in the colony for more than half a month turned their attention to her.

    ¡°Excuse me, is Qin Feng here? I¡¯m Li Zishan, a special agent from the Human Alliance and I¡¯m supposed to hand over a consciousness connector to him!¡±

    She took out her credentials and showed it to everyone, indicating that she had no ill will.

    Even if she had malicious intent, the Fengli Mercenary Troop would think that she would not be able to harm Qin Feng anyway.

    ¡°Right, right. This way please!¡±

    One of them led her to Qin Feng¡¯s room.

    Before she even knocked on the door, he already detected the presence of two aptitude users with his consciousness.

    When Bai Li opened the door, the aptitude user quickly said, ¡°Miss Bai, this woman here is an aptitude user from the Human Alliance. Said she was going to give the boss a consciousness connector!¡±

    With this item, Qin Feng was not any different from a C-tier!

    ¡°Thene in! My husband¡¯s been expecting you!¡± Bai Li said.

    Li Zishan looked at Bai Li and there was a look of surprise on her face, her brows involuntarily furrowed.

    ¡°Welp. I¡¯m going away now!¡± said the person who guided Li Zhishan there.

    Bai Li ignored him and made the gesture of inviting the special agent inside.

    When she walked in, she saw that Qin Feng was already sitting in the living room. She smiled and offered a hand.

    ¡°Hello! I¡¯m Li Zishan!¡±

    ¡°Hello! Qin Feng.¡±

    ¡°Naturally. I already know who you are. Yourbat prowess is astounding and I can¡¯t believe you¡¯re only a D-tier!¡± She said with a manner of frankness.

    Qin Feng only smiled, he was not humbled and did not want to waste the agent¡¯s time.

    ¡°So, where¡¯s the consciousness connector?¡±

    Li Zishan¡¯s face had an expression of embarrassment for a brief moment but she quickly regainedposure and said with a serious face, ¡°Leader Qin, because of orders from above, I¡¯ve specificallye to give you this connector. I¡¯ll teach you the basics on how to use it. Of course, so long as your consciousness is strong enough, it should be easy!¡±

    Then she took out a pair of silver spectacles.

    These spectacles were also rune equipment, C-tier king level in fact. Very rare.

    This was something that C-tier users wouldmonly have after achieving that rank.

    It was convenient for many users and allowed discretemunication thanks to how inconspicuous it looked.

    He put the sses on and focused his consciousness in the center of his forehead before linking with the consciousness connector.

    In the next moment, his vision had be blurry and he felt as if he had arrived at an entirely different ce.

    He did not panic though. After all, he had been here before, even if it had been a year since then.

    What he saw was a massive and bright building, reaching into the skies with massive words written at the top.

    The Human Alliance Huaxia District!

    Straight and wide streets. The people hurrying about it were all C-tiers, not only that, they seemed to reappear and disappear in an instant.

    When he looked at himself, he was shocked to see the scars on his arms.

    He had been reborn, but he subconsciously chose his original appearance after using the consciousness connector.

    This time, he was at the full height of 192cm, had a well built body, sharp features and a glint of madness and cruelty in his eyes, but that was overshadowed by the look of perseverance his face gave off.

    He was familiar with this kind of aura, and outside he looked more like a twenty seven or twenty eight year old.

    He focused on his consciousness for a moment and his features became a little more handsome. His skin was not as tan as before and his hair even grew slightly longer. Although he was tall, he looked like a teenager.

    Now he looked like he was only about seventeen or eighteen.

    Then, a person suddenly appeared in front of Qin Feng. It was Li Zishan.

 Chapter 422 - Governor Review

    <h4>Chapter 422: Governor Review</h4>

    ¡°You seem to be quitefortable here Captain Qin, please enter your information first!¡±

    A form automatically appeared in front of him. It asked for nothing much except for where he was born, his birthday and his personal ount number and so on.

    All Qin Feng did was think and the form was filled instantly.

    Li Zishan was slightly surprised. ¡°It really looks like it¡¯s not the first time you¡¯ve used a consciousness connector!¡±

    Qin Feng simply said, ¡°Controlling consciousness isn¡¯t so hard!¡±

    ¡°Haha, I forgot that Captain Qin is a dual-type ability user!¡±

    There was a trance of coldness in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes. ¡°Miss Li, you seem to know a lot about me!¡±

    Li Zishan¡¯s smile faltered before sheughed again, ¡°Of course, I have to verify your identity, don¡¯t I?¡±

    ¡°I sure hope so!¡± Qin Feng mumbled. He had a feeling that things would not be going smoothly today.

    ¡°Captain Qin you can now apply to serve as the governor for the Four Cities of the North Sea and three B-tiers will be randomly selected to review you!¡±

    He frowned. ¡°General Wang Zhou has already said that I¡¯m currently acting governor, why do I have to get reviewed again?¡±

    Li Zishan gave him a small smile. ¡°Captain Qin, General Wang does indeed have the right to make you acting governor but that position is only temporary. If someone applies to be governor it will be different. So now you have topete with others!¡±

    This was naturally different from what Qin Feng and Wang Zhou had discussed.

    By now, Wang Zhou had left Colony Three, even if he tried to look for him it would not be helpful.

    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll apply!¡± Qin Feng said coldly, even if he waspeting with others, how could he be afraid?

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness moved and the battle¡¯s page appeared before him. Only now, there was another link avable: The Human Alliance¡¯s senior member management.

    Qin Feng clicked on the link and quickly found the Four Cities of the North Sea. At this time, the position for governor was vacant but it looked like someone else was already applying for it in the application¡¯s section.

    His face fell, but quickly clicked to apply as well, bumping the numbers up to 2!

    Afterward, Qin Feng waited patiently for a few minutes before he suddenly received a message in his mind.

    [D tier aptitude user Qin Feng, the reviewers for your application regarding the governor position for the Four Cities of the North Sea are: Fu Wenjue, He Liming, Guang Wei!]

    There was one person that he recognized. Moreover, he was the one who remained in Colony Three.

    However, Guang Wei and Qin Feng did not have rtions with one another.

    [Choose to enter the review room immediately: 10, 9, 8, 7...]

    Even if he did not choose, the moment the countdown finished Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness would appear in the review room!

    ¡°Enter!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s vision blurred for a moment before appearing in a solemn looking room.

    In front of him was a high tform with solid wooden tables and chairs that looked very sturdy and had a dark brown wooden color and texture.

    Three judges were already sitting there.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, was standing.

    This moment would be intimidating for any aptitude user.

    More importantly, these three were all dressed in military uniform, the badges on their chests identified them as B-tiers and told them apart.

    All of them were looking at Qin Feng¡¯s information. However, not all of the information was what he filled in.

    Information about him was being drawn from other ces, all his tasks from the Aptitude User¡¯s Hall or during his time while fighting in the front line were clearly presented. Even his hunting data from the Bounty Hunter Network.

    ¡°Just half a month after awakening, participated in a dark invasion event and took down an F-tier beast king? Then became the district chief of a small colony!¡±

    ¡°The mission to defend Han Town!¡±

    ¡°Commendation from the Zhongchen Group, dueled with the E-tier Wraith Devil?¡±

    ¡°Shadong Town¡¯sbat reports. These look quite solid!¡±

    ¡°Thetest ones are from Longchuan. This record... more than 4,000 Wisdom Tribe creatures? These were all C-tiers?¡±

    The expressions of these three people changed. In fact, even Guang Wei was astonished.

    He had left after the audit waspleted, not knowing that Qin Feng had killed so many as a whole.

    Moreover, this task was clearly priced. Suffice to say, Qin Feng¡¯s personal ount had to have at least 4 trillion!

    That was a number that would tempt even a B-tier.

    Qin Feng was a terrifying person.

    The first to speak was He Liming. He sat in the center and was the strongest of the three, being at B4-tier. After entering the consciousness connector, he was randomly ced in here.

    He just happened toe across the record of this astounding youth who defied all the odds that was ced against him.

    ¡°Qin Feng, your record is incredible. With your current strength, you¡¯d be strong enough to serve as the Four Cities¡¯ governor!¡± He Liming looked at the other two when he was done talking and used his consciousness to ask, ¡°What do you two think?¡±

    Fu Wenjue did not think too much of it, but he quickly nced down and smiled faintly. ¡°Since there¡¯s another applicant, let¡¯s review the next one!¡±

    He Liming frowned. ¡°Is that necessary? This person¡¯s record...¡±

    He did not get to finish as he was interrupted by Guang Wei, who said in a chilly tone, ¡°It must be reviewed, after all, the position of governor is serious business!¡±

    ¡°Compared to Qin Feng¡¯s prowess, the other¡¯s one¡¯s a little bit far off, especially theirst mission¡¯s record!¡± He Liming said.

    Guang Wei stared at He Liming. ¡°Strength isn¡¯t everything. Sometimes a person¡¯s actions are more worthy of our consideration. Such an important position should be given to someone that¡¯s capable!¡±

    He Liming frowned, suddenly realizing that today was not going to be as easy-going as he thought.

    When he looked at the other¡¯s information, he saw that they were only an ordinary C-tier and it was impossible to match their record with Qin Feng¡¯s.

    And some of the information, even when just briefly nced over, had a very telling sign that they had probably been exaggerated. A person with this kind of record was not necessarily doing well!

    However, reviewing was not a job done by one person and it seemed that Guang Wei was obviously biased toward this person.

    Could it be a crony?

    That thought made He Liming uneasy and he felt a little displeased but he suppressed those thoughts and said, ¡°Shall we review the next one then?¡±

    Suddenly, Qin Feng, who had been silent throughout this entire scene, abruptly spoke.

    ¡°Although strength doesn¡¯t mean everything, I feel that having strength means more people can be protected. And in this apocalyptic world, isn¡¯t it the strong that respects the strong? So why are we suddenly discussing actions, then I want to know, what has this person done to bemended? Let me guess, the person who¡¯speting with me for the Four Cities is called...¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze locked onto Guang Wei as he opened his mouth, saying two words.

    ¡°Lei Ying!¡±

 Chapter 423 - Reporting Qin Feng

    <h4>Chapter 423: Reporting Qin Feng</h4>

    This was just a guess but he thought that there was at least an 80% possibility that he was right!

    He Liming looked at the information with surprise and did not bother to try and hide it.

    ¡°Indeed! It seems like you¡¯re quite familiar with this person!¡±

    Qin Feng said with a calm demeanor, ¡°I¡¯m very familiar with him and he lost more than half his people during a mission against the invaders of Longchuan! A C-tier aptitude user who went with him on the mission died because of his poor decision-making skills!¡±

    He spoke with tactful euphemism, also revealing that Lei Ying had abandoned hisrades.

    This was not good for the reputation.

    He Liming¡¯s brows were furrowed. ¡°Really?¡±

    Fu Wenjue, who sat on the left, said, ¡°These are just your own words, we will investigate the rest!¡±

    Obviously, he also did not approve of Qin Feng bing governor.

    Out of the three people, there were two that were not optimistic about Qin Feng. Originally, the whole process of making a person governor would have some problems, but now it has be very problematic!

    Not only that, Guang Wei suddenly held up an additional piece of information in his hand and said, ¡°After these missions, I¡¯ve also received a piece of new information. Someone¡¯s reported your offenses, Qin Feng!¡±

    Qin Feng was taken aback.

    Guang Wei continued, ¡°First of all, this informant initially suspected that this massive spatial passage had ured because of your girlfriend¡¯s weapon causing space-time fluctuations that formed a crack and sent out our world¡¯s space-time beacon!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face suddenly fell. He did not deny that, but he did not admit it either.

    The Grans had been studying Earth¡¯s space-time beacon for a while, even without Bai Li, the event would have still happened in ten days. It only ended up happening ahead of schedule.

    It was obviously unreliable to use this as a report.

    Qin Feng replied coldly, ¡°Skepticism and guesswork! Where¡¯s the evidence?¡±

    Guang Wei said, ¡°This report was based on suspicion, and there is another point. Your previous misleading reports. On the first time one C-tier aptitude user and one hundred D-tiers died, the second time it caused the deaths of three C-tiers and more than five hundred D-tiers! What¡¯s more,unching the battle ahead of time while the aptitude users were still disorganized and caused a high number of deaths. Close to one hundred C-tier aptitude users have died and more than three thousand D-tier aptitude users were killed. These deaths are heavy losses for the Human Alliance.¡±

    Qin Feng let out a frustrated chuckle, ¡°General Guang, I¡¯m guessing your informant is also Lei Ying?¡±

    Rage flickered in his eyes, but his tone was mocking.

    ¡°First off, he¡¯s an idiot who thinks he can do what I can do, and he tried to take advantage of the situation. Instead of gaining any advantage, he went ahead and delivered a genocide buffet right up to the invaders. Then he abandoned his teammates and is ming everything on me!¡±

    ¡°Second of all, you were at Longchuan¡¯s Colony Three. You¡¯ve experienced this personally! I wiped out three thousand of those Grans in one go and if you didn¡¯t have that precious opportunity then the ones attacking the colony wouldn¡¯t be that three thousand but double the amount! Do you think you could have held on then?¡±

    ¡°Wind it back a thousand steps, if they weren¡¯t so self-righteous, going about things their own way then maybe that Wisdom Tribe would have been scared away by my gunfire!¡±

    ¡°But what then? A greatbat opportunity, yet these people went ahead to die and revealed that we¡¯re just bluffing at the beginning! These are intelligent creatures, not mindless beasts!¡±

    After hearing his words, He Liming understood what was going on and felt embarrassed for Guang Wei after hearing his report!

    Guang Wei on the other hand did not show any embarrassment. He maintained a straight face and said, ¡°No matter what you say, you¡¯re still responsible for this matter!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered, ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with the crimes you want to add. What responsibility should I bear? Why should I even bear the brunt?¡±

    ¡°Of course you have to be responsible! For the future safety of the Human Alliance, it¡¯s best if you hand that spatial whip your girlfriend Bai Li has to us. Not only that, you¡¯ll have topensate up to 5 trillion topensate for the Human Alliance¡¯s heavy losses!¡±

    Qin Feng was in disbelief!

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry but I can¡¯t agree to those two terms!¡± He said coldly, with a chilling murderous intent in his eyes.

    He always understood that amon man¡¯s crime was to carry jade.*

    But that was before, when he was weak.

    This year, he had not been too outstanding and his strength had been steadily increasing into incredible levels, but he had not participated in any sensational event.

    Now, his strength had almost reached the minimum requirement for joining the Human Alliance but it turned out that someone was trying to sabotage him.

    Bai Li¡¯s spatial whip naturally could not be handed over.

    The spatial whip was not some S-rank super artifact but it was meshed well with Bai Li¡¯s spatial maniption so it would allow her to be at her strongest potential.

    If this were taken away, would that mean she had to diminish herself again?

    As for 5 trillion, Qin Feng did not have that kind of money on his personal ount right now.

    What was more, why should he pay, just because Guang Wei said so?

    Nobody could insult him or provoke him this much.

    He was not going to give them anything, not even if he had something to give!

    ¡°Qin Feng, does this mean you¡¯re betraying the Human Alliance?¡± Guang Wei bellowed.

    Qin Feng replied in the same chilling tone, ¡°Betray the Human Alliance? You¡¯re the one pushing it, Guang Wei, you¡¯re the one who¡¯s trying to take advantage of me beyond what I can do!¡±

    Guang Wei said with a serious tone, ¡°Stop arguing Qin Feng and hand over the spatial whip andpensation, or else you¡¯ll be marked as a wanted criminal of the Human Alliance!¡±

    ¡°Then put me on a wanted poster, try it!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled fearlessly.

    So what if it were a B-tier, give him time to climb up to the top and his retribution would be a hundred times worse than today¡¯s!

    By then, Guang Wei realized that Qin Feng had made up his mind, so he did not hesitate to take action.

    In an instant, consciousness burst out.

    The consciousness connector was originally controlled by the consciousness, which gave ability users a huge advantage. Here, together with gunners, they were stronger than ancient warriors.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was not as strong as Guang Wei¡¯s, but his control over the consciousness connector was good enough!

    In an instant, he reappeared at the edge of the review room.

    Then, he began to slip through the wall.

    ¡°Guang Wei, I hope you don¡¯t regret what happened today!¡± Qin Feng said before hepletely phased through the wall, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

    Guang Wei¡¯s face was a cold mask, it was as if he was answering Qin Feng, but it seemed more like he was talking to himself.

    ¡°How could I regret this, it¡¯s you who should feel regret because after today, there will be no chance for you to even feel regret!¡±

    There was a murderous glint in Guang Wei¡¯s eyes before he disappeared from the consciousness world of the Human Alliance.

    He Liming sat in his chair, his face was that of suppressed rage.

    ¡°What the hell is going on? If word gets out about this scandal even the Dark Coalition would beughing at us!¡±

    He mmed his palm into the table, instantly scattering it into powdery fragments.

    Soon, the table began to reform itself.

    Trantor¡¯s Note: Tranted from the Chinese saying that means: ¡®So long as someone has wealth, power and so on, there would be people trying to persecute them¡¯.

 Chapter 424 - Qin Feng the Wanted Criminal

    <h4>Chapter 424: Qin Feng the Wanted Criminal</h4>

    Fu Wenjue had a slight smirk on his face as he said, ¡°Guang Wei has his own ns. He¡¯ll definitelymission youter as an apology, just bear with it!¡±

    ¡°Enough!¡± He Liming said coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t want his money. As for this incident, if there are any consequences, do not drag me into it! You and I are not allies!¡±

    He then left in a fit of rage, but he knew that he had already been dragged into this debacle already.

    At the very least, he was a silent participant of it.

    Even he had a hunch that it was not something that would be resolved quickly!

    If Guang Wei did not take down Qin Feng today, Qin Feng was going toe back stronger in the future!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was disconnected from the consciousness connector, then he instantly took it off and stuffed it into his spatial rune equipment.

    In the next moment, themunicators of two of the three people present suddenly rang.

    Bai Li took a look at the notification and her eyes widened, as if she had just seen something unbelievable.

    [Attention Bounty Hunters, Criminal: Qin Feng has been locked in!]

    Before Bai Li had time to see what crime Qin Feng hadmitted, Li Zishan who had been sitting opposite the two abruptlyughed.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to go down this road, Captain Qin!¡±

    ¡°You should have guessed what my choice would have been a long time ago!¡± Qin Feng sneered.

    In fact, the moment she entered this room he had been on guard against her! This woman was known as the Human Alliance¡¯s executioner.

    Before his rebirth, that was, when he was 27 years old, Li Zishan was A-tier as well, a famous A-tier Gold rank bounty hunter. She did not distinguish between ck or white, only figures.

    And now, based on his memory, she should at least be C-tier in terms of strength.

    That was why she was hiding her strength this entire time and came here pretending to be a special agent!

    Just how much of this ploy was Lei Ying¡¯s and how much of it was Guang Wei¡¯s he did not know!

    Qin Feng had instantly be a wanted criminal. He was on the bounty hunterwork. Even hismunicator and personal ount were locked. Although it was impossible for people to take money from it, he could not either!

    There was still 4 trillion in there and Qin Feng could only rejoice in the fact that he had already distributed the Fengli Mercenary Troop¡¯s sries!

    As for Li Zishan?

    She was going to pay for her overconfidence!

    The two went on the offensive at the same time.

    Li Zishan mobilized her consciousness and sent out a strong gust of wind that knocked aside everything in the room. In that burst of strong wind, two tornadoes wrapped around Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s bodies.

    Qin Feng had already wrapped his body with internal force by then and sent his body forward.

    The tornado around him spun at breakneck speeds, his internal force letting out a harsh noise from the violent friction.

    But this did not slow Qin Feng down.

    Li Zishan¡¯s heart skipped a beat, feeling that something bad was going to happen and immediately let the wind runes surround her body before backing away.

    She moved very quickly!

    But it was toote!

    Qin Feng¡¯s fist was faster and it crashed into Li Zishan¡¯s abdomen!

    ¡°Aaaah!¡±

    Li Zishan felt her stomach concave before her internal organs were squished inside her. She had never suffered this much pain before, let alone experience such a powerful blow.

    A terrifying surge of internal force raged through her body, and not only that, a tremendous force mmed her against the wall.

    Boom!

    Even the solid wall could not withstand the impact of Qin Feng¡¯s strength. Li Zishan was sent flying through the wall, leaving behind arge hole that led to the next room.

    Qin Feng¡¯s next door neighbour was Zheng Qian.

    Before that, the vibrations of the two¡¯s battle could be felt and Zheng Qian was shocked,pletely unsure of what was going on.

    Qin Feng zipped into Zheng Qian¡¯s room. Needless to say, he was chasing Li Zishan.

    Li Zishan suffered a lot of internal damage from Qin Feng¡¯s punch, but aptitude users were extremely difficult to kill so she was not dead. However, she let out a scream the moment she saw him.

    Whoosh!

    A violent gust of wind shattered Zheng Qian¡¯s window, carrying Li Zishan out with it.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? What happened?¡± Zheng Qian was dumbfounded and asked, ¡°Wasn¡¯t that the person that was delivering the consciousness connector? Why are you fighting?¡±

    Qin Feng coldly said, ¡°There¡¯s no time to exin. I¡¯m afraid, starting today, I will be a fugitive. The role of Captain of the Fengli Mercenary Troop will be transferred to someone else under me. You can quit if you want, I won¡¯t stop you. But don¡¯t you worry, I will take back the future as governor of the Four Cities on the North Sea sooner orter!¡±

    As soon as he finished saying so, he felt a terrifying presence.

    It was Guang Wei.

    Murderous intent shed in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes but he knew that now was not the best time to take on Guang Wei.

    ¡°Bai Li, lets go!¡±

    Bai Li nodded, and the two reappeared one hundred meters away in the next moment.

    By the time Guang Wei had arrived, he had left empty-handed!

    Qin Feng used internal force to carry his voice, ¡°Today¡¯s revenge will be repaid in the future, but don¡¯t any of you start being arrogant. Whoeverys a hand on what¡¯s mine will not see tomorrow¡¯s dawn!¡±

    The aptitude users who had not left Colony Three were all stunned.

    Guang Wei¡¯s face paled. He never expected Qin Feng to be so unscrupulous as to openly dere this matter to the public and embarrass him!

    ¡°Qin Feng, it¡¯s still unclear if you will see tomorrow¡¯s dawn!¡± Lei Ying looked at Qin Feng with a dark expression in the distance.

    Qin Feng let out a chillingugh, ¡°It looks like you no longer want your hands!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s power activated and the two immediately appeared beside Lei Ying, who was three hundred meters away.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force erupted abruptly.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Such an oppressive internal force, it definitely did not belong to a C-tier!

    There was not a moment to show weakness against a C-tier like Lei Ying!

    Lei Ying¡¯s body froze and he instantly lost his bnce.

    A weak point!

    Qin Feng pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    ¡°Cut!¡±

    This terrifying de gave off an aura that Lei Ying was unable to evade from.

    Lei Ying¡¯s arm was sent flying.

    ¡°Bastard!¡±

    When Guang Wei caught up, he was surrounded by icy blue runes. A cold current came and it was freezing cold in an instant, chilling to the bones!

    A silver light enveloped Bai Li and soon Qin Feng and her shifted into another ne, avoiding this powerful attack before appearing elsewhere.

    Li Zishan, who had already fled five hundred meters away in an instant, stared ahead at Qin Feng with horror.

    Qin Feng had a bone-chilling grin on his face, it was like staring directly at a dead man.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    ¡°sh!¡±

    A powerful horizontal swing!

    Li Zishan tried to maneuver out of the de¡¯s trajectory but the attack still connected!

    ¡°Aaaaiiieeee!¡±

    A pair of legs fell down from the sky!

 Chapter 425 - Qin Feng On The Run

    <h4>Chapter 425: Qin Feng On The Run</h4>

    ¡°I hope you people wouldn¡¯t step on my limits!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a frostyugh before disappearing entirely!

    Guang Wei tried to give chase but his consciousness had its limits! He did not have SS-tier potential like Qin Feng did.

    It was not like Qin Feng¡¯s current power!

    As such, Qin Feng and Bai Li escaped Guang Wei after a few spatial jumps.

    However, Guang Wei had another way, which was to lock onto Qin Feng¡¯s position via hismunicator. After all, thatmunicator was issued by the Human Alliance!

    Qin Feng would not have made such a simple mistake as to keep hismunicator on, he had already taken his own and Bai Li¡¯smunicators, and ced them into his spatial rune equipment.

    Even if Guang Wei was a B-tier, he was not as strong as Li Zishan in terms of chasing and escaping.

    That was why Li Zishan was summoned, because she was a wind ability user.

    But now? Lei Ying had his arm damaged by Qin Feng again and thest injury required the use of a lot of healing elixirs but this time it had been chopped off.

    Not to mention, Li Zishan lost both her legs!

    ¡°This Qin Feng really is a ruthless person!¡±

    Although Guang Wei was an ice ability user, he could still feel a chill down his back!

    He had chased after Qin Feng for ten kilometers but eventually lost his trail and had to return to Colony Three.

    Lei Ying, holding his severed arm, greeted him and hurriedly asked, ¡°General Guang, is it done?¡¯

    That just touched a tender spot*!

    Guang Wei¡¯s face was an ashy grey.

    ¡°Useless waste of space!¡±

    After barking out that insult, he turned around and left!

    When Lei Ying heard that, he immediately understood that Qin Feng was not dead!

    He escaped?

    Lei Ying suddenly recalled what Qin Feng had said before.

    ¡®Whoeverys a hand on what¡¯s mine will not see tomorrow¡¯s dawn!¡¯

    What did Qin Feng mean by that?

    Fengli Colony? Shadong Town, or the Fengli Mercenary Troop?

    Perhaps it was the position of governor for the Four Cities on the North Sea?

    From that moment, Lei Ying felt as if there was a de hanging over his head and that de just so happened to be Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Would he have to give up the position of governor of the Four Cities just like that?

    It was like a piece of meat served in front of him, he wanted to eat it but if he reached his neck out to take a bite it would get cut off.

    Such a tantalizing feeling was simply unbearable.

    What was more, it was not just the problem with the Four Cities anymore.

    Now Qin Feng had be a huge threat. After shedding all of his pretenses, Lei Ying was not sure if Qin Feng woulde after him or not.

    ¡°Assassin¡¯s notice! The first to kill Qin Feng will receive 100 billion!¡±

    Lei Ying did not hesitate to spread this news onto the battle.

    He then spent the rest of that night in the Aptitude User¡¯s Hall, afraid that Qin Feng would return in the middle of the night to begin a massacre!

    ***

    Qin Feng was nning on massacring everyone who crossed him that night but after entering the Longchuan Mountains, he encountered a terrible scene.

    ¡°What is that?¡± His pupils shrank at the sight.

    He had already seen it clearly, but the more he looked the less he wanted to admit what he saw.

    ¡°A spatial passage!¡± Bai Li said, her voice serious.

    The giant spatial passage could be seen clearly in the daylight, and a jagged, angr machinery could be seen within!

    It was what the Floating City had be after it was destroyed.

    Perhaps because of the previous tragic experience, the Grans did not dare enter the city!

    As parts of the Floating City swirled within the spatial passage, the floating machinery and parts that densely packed the sky seemed to be slowly reforming into the Floating City¡¯s shape!

    Qin Feng¡¯s face paled. He did not even have hismunicator now, and he could not notify the Ability Alliance.

    However, those countless amounts of Grans, the tragedy that ured before his rebirth. Was that going to happen again?

    He suddenly sneered.

    ¡°Report or no, the time hasn¡¯te yet so I¡¯ll report it when it happens! Let¡¯s see if Guang Wei will survive this time!¡±

    ¡°So, we¡¯re not going to care about it?¡± Bai Li asked.

    After one year, Bai Li had understood a lot about human society. Usually she knew what was good to eat and drink and what kind of clothes were fashionable during the season but when it came down to it, no one was more reliable than her.

    And now, she was already aware of what was going on.

    ¡°What do you think?¡±

    Bai Li raised a silver brow. ¡°Let them fend for themselves!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at the terrifying space in the distance and said, ¡°You¡¯re right, why should I care about them?¡±

    Of course, some people naturally had to worry about it!

    The Fengli Mercenary Troop¡¯s people were panicking!

    Qin Feng had lostmunication with them and was now a wanted criminal. When the news reached them, they freaked out!

    These people relied too much on Qin Feng!

    All the wealth and status they had were given by Qin Feng. They could not imagine what would happen after this incident!

    At this time, a thought came to Qin Feng and he pulled out a newmunicator from his spatial rune equipment.

    Thismunicator was the one that he used when he was disguised as Bloodhunter.

    He originally thought that he would not ever need thatmunicator anymore, unexpectedly it was the best thing he had right now.

    When he turned on themunicator, there was only Zhou Hao¡¯s number in it.

    Of course, he had added that from before.

    Beep beep!

    After dialing the other¡¯s number, Zhou Hao answered the call without a single moment of hesitation!

    ¡°Qin Feng? What the hell¡¯s going on? Why are you wanted now?¡± Zhou Hao immediately asked.

    ¡°The whole thing¡¯s a bit tooplicated to exin. Tell the Fengli Mercenary Troop to withdraw from the colony and return to Longchuan City immediately!¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do that right away!¡± Zhou Hao nodded.

    Qin Feng hung up and called Xue Xingfu next.

    Since Xue Xingfu was a businessman, he would answer any call even if it was an anonymous number. It was currently in the afternoon when he was called and he was looking through thetest report in Shadong Town with great satisfaction. The thought that a poor frontline town could reach the current situation it was in filled him with an infinite sense of aplishment!

    Of course, this was all thanks to Qin Feng. As without him, the town would not even be standing.

    It was only when the news broke out on the battle that Xue Xingfu¡¯s peaceful day came to a halt.

    It was by luck that there was an anonymous call iing and based on his intuition, it had to be from Qin Feng.

    ¡°Boss? Why did you suddenly changemunication numbers?¡± He asked in shock.

    ¡°Come to the Battlegod¡¯s Tomb, and buy a woman¡¯smunicator that doesn¡¯t require authentication beforehand for Bai Li! Our meeting will start at six o¡¯clock in the evening today and I¡¯ll notify you 10 minutes before the meeting!¡±

    Xue Xingfu immediately nodded. ¡°Roger that!¡±

    Even if Qin Feng did not give any exnations, Xue Xingfu felt that so long as Qin Feng was alive there would be no problems!

    The Fengli Mercenary Troop also received the news, they were very angry but they knew that they would not have any of their questions answered. What was more, they were not capable of taking out their frustration on Guang Wei either.

    ¡°There¡¯s some internal conflict and they¡¯re trying to knock down the captain!¡± Chen Xiang¡¯s face was pale.

    Zheng Qin was also very angry, but she had no choice but to follow Qin Feng¡¯s orders and retreat to Longchuan City.

    Trantor¡¯s Note 1: Directly tranted from the Chinese meaning of ¡°Something that shouldn¡¯t be mentioned¡±

 Chapter 426 - The Return of the Grans

    <h4>Chapter 426: The Return of the Grans</h4>

    To the Fengli Mercenary Troop¡¯s surprise, a hover copter appeared behind them ten minutes after they left in thebat hover copter.

    ¡°It¡¯s Sky Dweller!¡±

    ¡°Captain!¡±

    ¡°Captain has sent us a signal. Let¡¯s descend!¡±

    The mercenary troopnded quickly and surrounded Qin Feng when he alighted the Sky Dweller.

    Because Qin Feng was currently being listed as a wanted criminal, everyone took down theirmunicators and hid it in their spatial rune equipment.

    Of course, none of them would betray Qin Feng. But themunicator would automatically expose Qin Feng¡¯s location to the bounty hunterwork when ites near the listed target.

    Anyone could have easily tracked them down if they were paying close attention to thework. Guang Wei probably still had not given up on capturing Qin Feng, too.

    ¡°Captain, what¡¯s going on? Why are you wanted all of a sudden?¡± One of the members asked cautiously.

    They were very dependent on Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng told them everything without any reserve.

    Their faces changed drastically after listening to Qin Feng¡¯s story.

    ¡°I did not think that Guang Wei would be such a b*tch!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe he teamed up with Lei Ying of all people!¡±

    ¡°What an as*hole! I am reporting him to the Human Alliance!¡± Zheng Qian was the first to hear the news. She could not hold back her anger after learning the truth from Qin Feng.

    Every member of this troop knew that Qin Feng was the biggest reason they were able to resist the Grans. However, not only did the Human Alliance not rightfully reward Qin Feng for his contribution but instead had asked him to surrender the spatial whip and 5 trillion aspensation. Utter nonsense!

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, was unexpectedly calm. ¡°They coborated because they happened to have amon target, me. Guang Wei has his eyes on the spatial whip but he won¡¯t be able to get it from me through brute force so this is his only way. On the other hand, Lei Ying would be the only dominant force around here once I am gone. The North Sea Desert has been dered safe and has the potential to develop into a great colony. It¡¯s only natural that he yearns to take control of it.¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t just let them have their way. There are still rules and regtions in the Human Alliance!¡±

    Indeed, there were ample rules and writtenws but these things were considered non-existent most of the time.

    Only the strong one would have the final say.

    Qin Feng did not bother to exin this and said solemnly, ¡°Shortly speaking, I am unable to stay at this ce for long. Guang Wei is perhaps still lurking around somewhere nearby. So it¡¯s important for you all to listen carefully to what I have got to say next.¡±

    Everyone else shut their mouth and looked at Qin Feng attentively.

    ¡°Before mymunicator was canceled, I managed to transfer the captain position to a trusted friend of mine. His name is Zhou Hao. He has just reached E-tier and wouldn¡¯t be able to lead you all. When I am gone, you are free to leave the mercenary. I don¡¯t wish for my predicament to affect anyone in this troop.¡±

    The troop immediately objected after Qin Feng said that.

    ¡°What are you talking about! How could we leave you at such a moment?¡±

    ¡°We won¡¯t leave the troop! Just take it as a temporary hiatus for the mercenary troop!¡±

    ¡°Captain, we follow you because of governor Gao. After you avenged him, we have vowed not to follow anyone else other than you!¡±

    Some of them were also concerned about Qin Feng¡¯s next step. Gao Li walked out and asked directly, ¡°What are you going to do? Since you are being wanted by the Human Alliance, does that mean you only have one ce to go to?¡±

    Though the Human Alliance appeared to have the most control over the world, the Dark Coalition had arge territory as well.

    Only that the condition there was viler and more unforgiving.

    ¡°Captain, are you going to the Devil Capital?¡±

    The Devil Capital was a ce as mysterious and legendary as Dragon Capital.

    Qin Fengughed. ¡°I am not fit to go there just yet.¡±

    The strongest aptitude users, the S-tiers, gathered at both the Devil and Dragon Capitals. Unless he had reached B-tier, otherwise Qin Feng would not risk his life going to such treacherous ces.

    ¡°I might be going to the City of Death instead.¡±

    A fitting city for the deserters that had nowhere else to go.

    It was a city of crime. A lot of felonies from the Human Alliance would seek refuge there. So bounty hunters from the Human Alliance do visit the ce frequently to hunt down wanted criminals.

    Other than that, the biggest threat there was not more than B-tier. So it suited Qin Feng better.

    ¡°Captain, bring us there. The Human Alliance might eat their word when you are not around!¡± Gao Li requested.

    It was pretty straightforward for Gao Li. He was no longer a normal human but a mutant, although he had not experienced any repercussions for the past few months.

    Thus, he felt safer alongside Qin Feng rather than living in the Human Alliance¡¯s territory. He no longer felt like he belonged to the human society.

    But Qin Feng replied to him coldly, ¡°Do you think I will never make it back?¡±

    Seeing that Qin Feng was irked, Gao Li immediately shut his mouth. Others dared not speak another word too.

    Qin Feng vowed solemnly, ¡°I will definitely repay them for what they have done to me today!¡± He suddenly felt that it¡¯s rather merciful to kill Lei Ying just like that. The sweetest revenge would be to strip everything he ever had, including his dignity.

    ¡°If you insist on staying, theny low and build on your strength while I am away. I will be back in less than half a year. I will not let others take what¡¯s rightfully mine!¡±

    ¡°Roger!¡±

    They were all staring at him admirably. Though he was still only a teenager, they were willing to bet on his limitless potential.

    ¡°We should dismiss now. Remember, don¡¯t ever go back to Colony Three, even when there is impressment. Understand?¡± Qin Feng reminded them coldly.

    They thought that Qin Feng was worried about them being caught by Guang Wei and might be used by him to further smear Qin Feng¡¯s name. They did not wish to be Qin Feng¡¯s burden by any means.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li left hastily in the Sky Dweller.

    The rest of them then left reluctantly, wondering when only would they rendezvous with their beloved captain.

    Some of them took out themunicator and were shaken by the emergency transmission on it.

    ¡°Look! Something serious is happening at Longchuan!¡±

    The others quickly took out themunicator, which was emitting a deafening rm now. Longchuan Colony Three was in a state of emergency, and a video had been sent to everymunicator.

    The horrifying Floating City had arrived above Colony Three. Their army was massive with a few hundred thousand soldiers seen surrounding the city.

    Other than the video, they also received a telepathic signal delivered by the invaders.

    Surrender to the Grans!

    The humans wondered whether ¡°Grans¡± was the name of the intelligent species or their civilization. But this daunting word had reached the Human Alliance by now.

    Zheng Qian and Chen Xiang looked at each other after receiving the emergency call for reinforcement.

    ¡°Do you think our captain has actually foreseen this?¡±

    ¡°I think it¡¯s just a in coincidence.¡±

    ¡°Then, should we go back?¡±

    That was undoubtedly a huge dilemma.

 Chapter 427 - Guang Wei Ran Away

    <h4>Chapter 427: Guang Wei Ran Away</h4>

    ¡°Why should we? Let¡¯s leave this ce for good. There¡¯s certainly some ce out there that we truly belong to.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Who cares if Guang Wei is killed? If not because of our captain, Colony Three would have long been demolished by the Grans!¡±

    ¡°I wish him death!¡±

    Inside Colony Three, Guang Wei remained alive despite being cursed by the Fengli troop.

    Nevertheless, being the only B-tier aptitude user left, he naturally became the main target of the Grans.

    There were about three hundred Grans that managed to get away before. After assembling with their main army, they immediately turned back to take revenge.

    ¡°Take him. He was the one who had killed a lot of ourrades!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right! Kill!¡±

    ¡°ughter the entire town. We only need their resources. Kill everyst one of them!¡±

    The Grans were extremely cruel and they massacred through the colony mercilessly. The remaining people inside the colony were unable to resist the Grans¡¯ ruthlessness.

    Though Guang Wei could still fight, he was being heavily outnumbered and decided to retreat.

    ¡°Retreat immediately!¡± Guang Wei shouted.

    ¡°General, please bring me along! I beg you!¡± Li Zishan who had lost both of her legs screamed hysterically.

    Guang Wei gave it a thought and grabbed her. He nned to use Li Zishan¡¯s wind-type ability to make a run for it.

    But a bright light burst out from the Floating City and took away Li Zishan¡¯s head before she could react.

    The powerful A-tier that Qin Feng knew in his past life had her life ended prematurely in this life.

    Guang Wei loosened his grip out of shock and perspired uncontrobly.

    Lei Ying was more decisive than Guang Wei at such a moment. He used a waymark to run into an unknown region he had previously taken control of.

    Those who had waymarks with them had used them to flee the moment they saw the Floating City. Nobody cared about the reinforcement plea beeping loudly on theirmunicators. They were not going to sacrifice their lives for the Human Alliance. Staying alive was of utmost importance!

    Guang Wei was unable to activate his spatial waymark as he was being constantly surrounded by multiple Grans. He could only keep on running in hopes of shaking off the pursuers.

    Apparently, the Grans were determined to capture Guang Wei at all costs. They wanted to hang his head up in the floating city in memory of their fallenrades.

    Guang Wei could only do so much by himself. Against the Grans army, Guang Wei had no choice but to abandon the colony.

    This meant that Guang Wei had just be a deserter.

    Though it was unlikely that he would be punished given the perilous circumstances, he had nheless embarrassed himself big time for running away.

    By that time, Qin Feng had long left Longchuan City.

    ***

    In Shadong Town.

    Two figures appeared abruptly near the high-ss vi at the town center.

    Those were none other than Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Shadong Town had grown beyond recognition since thest time Qin Feng was still around. He expanded his consciousness and discovered a significant increase in the town poption.

    After one month, the ntation around the town was already approaching the harvest season.

    At this rate, the town might not be able to export much of the food but at least it was self-sustainable.

    Such a production scale probably would not draw Guang Wei¡¯s attention. It was Lei Ying that Qin Feng was worried about.

    However, as soon as Qin Feng was still alive, there was no way Lei Ying couldy a finger on this ce.

    Qin Feng notified Xue Xingfu about his return and not long after, thetter arrived at the vi to meet the two of them

    ¡°Phew, so you two are not hurt! Thank God!¡± Xue Xingfu was worried sick when he heard that Qin Feng was being chased by someone two tiers higher than him.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s no big deal!¡±

    ¡°By the way, here¡¯s Bai Li¡¯smunicator.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s really inconvenient to not carry one.¡± Bai Li thanked him and returned to her old cheerful self.

    Qin Feng brushed her hair and said, ¡°Let¡¯s gather everyone at the Battlegod Tomb. I wish to see how everyone is doing.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Qin Feng stepped into the Battlegod Shrine. Everyone attended immediately after being informed by Xue Xingfu. This included Zhou Hao, Liu Xue, Wang Chen, and Han Nuan.

    Fengli was no longer the small scale colony in the past.

    ¡°Boss!¡±

    ¡°Chief!¡±

    ¡°Captain!¡±

    They might refer to him with different titles but their respect toward Qin Feng was all the same.

    Among these men, most had reached E-tier. They were more than capable of managing Fengli by themselves.

    After all, very few would dare to cause trouble when they knew who the boss was behind this colony.

    Even if Qin Feng was not around, Fengli could still depend on Zhou Hao.

    Though Qin Feng had not visited Fengli for months, he had been in constant contact with Zhou Hao and knew that his buddy had not been cking. It was not difficult to tell that Zhou Hao had improved drastically.

    ¡°You are doing great. Keep it up.¡± Qin Feng tapped Zhou Hao¡¯s shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

    ¡°Haha. It¡¯s all thanks to Queen Ant and the inner power that you shared with me.¡± Zhou Hao winked.

    Of course, he was referring to the Overcast Dragon. Not everyone in the colony was given the chance to practice this art.

    ¡°Well, I am rather impressed.¡± Qin Feng was relieved after he studied the others.

    Liu Xue and Wang Chen were E-tier now, too. The others might not have broken through yet but he could see that it was just a matter of time.

    E-tier might be the lowest tier in Shadong Town but it was considered a top-ss in Fengli, or even the entire Cheng Bei colony.

    The power that only belonged to the ruler in this area.

    Zhou Hao was the best among them as he also owned the Golden Queen Ant. Such an improvement rate outssed even some of the so-called prodigies.

    ¡°Boss, you are even stronger now. I can hardly tell the depth of your power,¡± Wang Chen was a gunslinger who excelled in probing an opponent¡¯s power with his consciousness. However, no matter how far he went, he could not grasp Qin Feng¡¯s true strength at all.

    Wang Chen was a little upset. He actually wanted to go to Shadong Town with Qin Feng because he knew that was the only way to obtain more resources. Now that hope seemed more unlikely than ever.

    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about that. I called for you to discuss something very important.¡±

    Everyone stood straight and listened carefully.

    Qin Feng told them about his n and changes that might happen in the future, especially the looming threat that came from the Leitang Organization.

    ¡°If someone dares to challenge us, just contact me. Don¡¯t hesitate. I have given my word, after all.¡± Qin Feng did not n to back down.

    Lei Ying might try to probe here and there. He was not going to take action himself but would definitely send out a D-tier to do the dirty work. Qin Feng wanted to make sure his men were prepared for the imminent danger.

    After that, Qin Feng took out another two items.

    They were two giant eggs. The eggs are white and sparkling in gold radiance. Everyone could feel the warmth emitted from the eggs.

    ¡°These are, beast eggs?¡±

    ¡°What beast do they belong to? There are runes floating around it!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s light-type runes.¡±

 Chapter 428 - The City of Death

    <h4>Chapter 428: The City of Death</h4>

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°It belongs to the Golden-scaled Python King. I obtained it during the hunt on the old beast emperor at Tangshan Ridge.¡±

    The eggs were ced in Bai Li¡¯s storage all this while and were nurtured with various nourishing ingredients. Now, the eggs were ready to hatch.

    ¡°I have decided to give these two eggs to Xue Xingfu and Wang Chen. You two are the future cores of Fengli and Shadong, respectively. It¡¯s of our best interest if the two of you gain some power boost.¡±

    Judging by the money that Xue Xingfu and Wang Chen could earn monthly, it was not difficult to rear the python to at least E-tier. Whether they could upgrade the monster to D-tier relied on their individual effort.

    Qin Feng had confidence in Xue Xingfu¡¯s future. He always had that talent.

    On the other hand, Wang Chen¡¯s fate was overturned by Qin Feng. If not because of him, Wang Chen might still be living inside the poor Han Town.

    Now, Qin Feng had absolute control over their future.

    ¡°Haha! Thanks!¡± Xue Xingfuughed and picked one of the eggs.

    Wang Chen was surprised. He did not expect Qin Feng to have such high confidence in him. He felt threatened when Han Nuan was first recruited by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng then told Zhou Hao about Fengli¡¯s Mercenary Troop. Zhou Hao understood the situation and was unwilling to takemand over those D-tier members.

    Qin Feng had not been involved in the management of Fengli and Shadong colonies, to begin with. So there was not much to speak about. There was a high level of mutual trust and respect between Qin Feng and his subordinates.

    As for the mercenaries, they were all considered elites and would have no problem surviving. Qin Feng could still bring benefit to them now but if he did not return for an extended period, the troop would probably be dissolved by then.

    But Qin Feng did not really care. The title Mercenary Lord was awarded to him because of his personal supremacy and not because he was the captain of the troop. He could always recruit another group of soldiers with his reputation.

    Qin Feng ended the meeting once he got his message through. He departed the second day after some rest.

    Since Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability had been exposed, Qin Feng no longer nned to keep it as a secret. He searched for the waymark of their next destination and openly asked Bai Li to create a spatial tunnel.

    They walked into it and immediately arrived at a vastly different location.

    A giant canyon came into Qin Feng¡¯s sight. The rift of the canyon extended into the horizon and its depth was immeasurable by the eyes. There were dark clouds floating above the canyon, which painted the entire area with a grey shade.

    It was odd to see a canyon out in this in so it was obviously not a natural phenomenon. Legend said that there was once an A-tier beast emperor who died here that had stomped the earth into half, hence forming the canyon.

    The ce where the City of Death was situated somehow did look like the edge of a giant foot.

    Bai Li grabbed onto Qin Feng and theynded near the cliff of the canyon.

    Around the giant foot, the grey mist was the most concentrated. The mist was highly corrosive and would paralyze any creature that inhaled it. Hence, they had to approach the City of Death cautiously.

    ¡°This way!¡±

    Qin Feng brought out the fiery peacock feathers and descended into the canyon while holding Bai Li¡¯s waist.

    The canyon was at least three hundred meters deep. The atmosphere got more humid the further they went. Mosses grew wildly inside the canyon and there was not any sense of warmth down the canyon despite the summer season.

    Due to the thick poisonous mist in the air, there was only one way in and one way out from the City of Death.

    Other than that, anyone who wished to enter would be charged an exorbitant fee per entry at the gate.

    Hence, this ce was the ideal refuge for deserters, criminals, or wanted persons running away from the Human Alliance.

    Qin Feng led Bai Li and soon arrived at a wall that barred the canyon. It somehow looked more like a building rather than a gate.

    A giant stove could be seen on top of the building. The grey mist at the surface was actually being released continuously from the stove.

    There were numerous small windows lined across the building. Numerous guns were pointed out from the windows and Qin Feng could feel that he was being targeted by more than ten consciousness as soon as he had stepped out from the dark.

    More and more consciousness began to turn onto him.

    Qin Feng was not daunted and maintained his pace. The entrance could only fit two carnes and there was a small ess point at the side.

    Four people were smoking and ying cards at the front door. They seemed to be enjoying the little game.

    Qin Feng scanned them calmly and found that they were all D-tiers. He also sensed the presence of C-tiers inside the building.

    Simply put, they were guards hired to watch the gate. Those who came here unprepared would be instantly KO-ed at the first stage.

    ¡°A newbie!¡±

    The few D-tier aptitude users who were ying cards peeked at Qin Feng and Bai Li intriguingly.

    They looked past Qin Feng and set their eyes on Bai Li.

    Qin Feng said to them, ¡°I am going in.¡± He took out a bag containing 20 power credits and directly threw it onto the table.

    They knew how many credits were in there through conscious energy.

    ¡°Well, you seem to know the rules around here. But I have never seen your face around here. This must be your first time? You even have a badge from the Human Alliance. Are you here looking for grim reapers?¡±

    They measured Qin Feng maliciously and hoped Qin Feng would admit that he was indeed a member of the Human Alliance. That way, they could kill him straight out.

    Of course, they nned to do it anyway even if he did not.

    Qin Fengughed it off. ¡°I am wearing the batch to scare off nuisance.¡±

    Hearing that, one of the D-tier stared at Qin Feng and threatened him. ¡°I am calling your bluff. Who are you trying to scare? Hundreds of people like you die in this city every day!¡±

    ¡°I wonder, are you one of them today?¡± Qin Feng sneered.

    The D-tier was clearly offended. ¡°F*ck you!¡± He was a D3-tier ancient warrior standing at 180 cm and probably weighed around 300 pounds. He was strong and his fist struck at full force with infused inner power.

    That was a decent punch. He did not hold anything back in the first strike.

    As a D3-tier ancient warrior, he probably possessed three clusters of liquefied inner force. He had used two full clusters on Qin Feng. That was about two times the maximum force a D1-tier ancient warrior could muster.

    Qin Feng¡¯s badge was not even at D1-tier so the man reckoned Qin Feng must have been promoted only recently.

    Thus, the ancient warrior had great confidence. He wanted to teach the arrogant neer a lesson.

    If Qin Feng could not sustain his attack, then the prettydy by his side would be theirs!

    Qin Feng was exasperated when he saw that the D3-tier ancient warrior had fixed his eyes on Bai Li while attacking him. He did not hold back either and unleashed his inner force.

    Boom!

 Chapter 429 - Enter the City

    <h4>Chapter 429: Enter the City</h4>

    Qin Feng instantly mustered ten clusters of liquefied internal power. His internal force was denser and the amount of one cluster was at least three to four times more than that of his opponent¡¯s.

    Cumtively, the energy he unleashed was almost twenty times the power of the D-tier¡¯s two clusters.

    Their fists met and none of the two had activated their internal shields to protect themselves. The collision of the two internal forces created a loud buzz.

    Soon, a visible ripple began to move toward the chubby ancient warrior.

    The sleeve on the D-tier¡¯s arm shattered instantly as their fist came together. The torn fabric was twirled by an unseen force and then scattered randomly into the air.

    It was a phenomenon that would happen when someone¡¯s internal strength was being ripped apart.

    That was not the end of it.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal power continued to push forward and forcefully ttened the D-tier¡¯s originally plump fist.

    Then, a series of cracking sounds suggested that the guard¡¯s hand bone was fractured.

    The thick arm of the D-tier subsequently exploded with blood and oil spurting out from the wrist all the way to the elbow, then from the upper arm, and finally the shoulder.

    The internal force kept gushing in.

    Boom!

    The influx of energy mutted the D-tier¡¯s organs and eventually destroyed the heart. The ancient warrior was sent flying backward and fell lifelessly onto the ground. He was just a pile of disgusting dead meat now.

    His shirt was burst open and all the D-tier silver runic equipment underneath it was crushed.

    The runic equipment made from king-tier beast skin could not protect the ancient warrior. His circtory system was utterly devastated and he could not be more dead.

    Qin Feng triggered Asteroid Assimtion and drew out the remaining liquefied power from him. The rest of the guards were startled as they looked at Qin Feng.

    They did not expect Qin Feng to be this powerful. After all, Qin Feng looked extremely young.

    ¡°Wow. Impressive!¡± One of the three guards spoke in a weird tone but did not dare to make any move on Qin Feng.

    The chubby ancient warrior Qin Feng had just killed was actually a unique fighter. He purposely developed his body that way through tailored parallel training. Nheless, he was killed by Qin Feng in a single punch.

    Besides, they could sense it now. Though the badge on Qin Feng¡¯s chest showed that he was a newly promoted D-tier aptitude user, he actually possessed the prowess of a D5-tier.

    ¡°Give us your name!¡± One of the D-tier guards knew the man in front of them was not your average Joe. They had quietly decided to let Qin Feng enter the city.

    If Qin Feng were a member of the Human Alliance, then more gruesome challenges were waiting for him behind this wall.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    The D-tier aptitude user quickly opened up the bounty hunterwork. Qin Feng¡¯a bounty was there on the homepage. He was listed just the day before.

    ¡°What did you do?

    The reason on the was definitely bullsh*t because it says ¡°Wanted for hindering military affairs¡±.

    ¡°Someone wants to frame me, that¡¯s all,¡± Qin Feng answered emotionlessly.

    The D-tier user understood immediately. Such a thing was not a rare urrence in this world. At the same time, he also knew that Qin Feng came to this ce just to seek temporary asylum. He would never truly be a member of the Dark Coalition.

    A lot of people like him popped up in front of the gate every year. Not many were able to survive the brutal City of Death.

    But Qin Feng did not look like the kind that would be put down easily.

    ¡°Off you go then.¡± The D-tier aptitude user opened the passage door.

    After seeing the guard¡¯s action, those inside the building retracted their consciousness. Anyhow, Qin Feng could still feel the vision of some greedy men ced upon Bai Li.

    A sense of cruelty shed past Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    They went through the door and officially stepped into the City of Death.

    The conditions there were awful. They could literally smell blood and rotten odor every now and then. Random people that looked numb walked past them like zombies. They stopped to collect trash and sometimes piged through the dead bodies at the corner of the street. They would throw their collection into the trolley and keep on walking, emotionlessly.

    Qin Feng brushed past a janitor and saw three bodies in his trolley. The others did not react to it as this was probably an everyday scene in this hapless city.

    A dirty kid aged around 5 years old suddenly ran out from the dark. He was extremely skinny and wore an oversize shirt. The kid had seen some undeserved hard life for his young age.

    The kid¡¯s eyes were beaming with expectation when he saw Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    ¡°Do you need a hotel room?¡± The kid asked.

    Qin Feng ignored him and pulled Bai Li away.

    Seeing Qin Feng¡¯s coldness, the kid did not give up and approached Bai Li. He pleaded sympathetically, ¡°Let me be your guide! This must be your first time here in the City of Death. This is a dangerous ce. Without a guide like me, you two might probably end up like them!¡±

    His filthy finger pointed toward the dead bodies inside the trolley.

    Qin Feng stopped abruptly.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need a room but I do want a standalone ce. Doesn¡¯t matter whether it¡¯s an apartment or vi,¡± Qin Feng requested.

    A smile immediately broke out on the kid¡¯s face. ¡°Vi... I know a ce but it might be a little pricey...¡± He extended his index finger and said, ¡°1 power credit!¡±

    It was equivalent to 10,000 in the outside world.

    Communicator transactions were not widely used here. People here prefered to do business using power credits.

    Qin Feng nodded and said, ¡°Sure!¡±

    ¡°Come with me!¡±

    The boy turned and beamed with jubnce. He did not expect that Qin Feng would be so easily deceived.

    He waved at them and disappeared into an alley. ¡°It¡¯s easy to run into bad guys using the main road. I know a safer shortcut!¡±

    The boy paced hurriedly. But to Qin Feng and Bai Li, it was just like taking a stroll so they followed him leisurely.

    ***

    At the same time, the three guards at the gate were dissatisfied with being unable to extort more power credits from the neer.

    ¡°Who is that? I can¡¯t believe he finished off the fatty in one strike.¡±

    ¡°Check him out. He must be some famous ouw.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s check the Hitman Network!¡±

    Three of them checked theirmunicator and paid no attention to the guard who just got killed.

    Thend of this city was all ck because of bloodstains. They were immune to death, even if the guy was still ying cards and bullsh*tting with them just a moment ago.

    Soon, they found what they were looking for.

    ¡°Damn, the price on his head is 1 trillion!¡±

    ¡°That much? Is he worth that much?¡±

    They were moved by the huge bounty.

    But one of them spoke dejectedly, ¡°He is rated Hero ss. Not only that but he had also killed more than one C-tier before!¡±

 Chapter 430 - My Girlfriend Will Be Furious

    <h4>Chapter 430: My Girlfriend Will Be Furious</h4>

    Two of the remaining ones immediately browsed through the details, the more they studied into it, the more they were amazed.

    It was stated that Qin Feng not only had his capabilities, also, he had umted an enormous amount of wealth.

    The battle at Longchuan Colony Three had allowed him to rake in a whopping 5 trillion!

    Of course, it had all been sealed now!

    If any of the members from the Human Alliance were able to take down Qin Feng, they would be able to get their five percent share of funds from Qin Feng¡¯s personal terminal.

    It would be equivalent to a trillion.

    Even if the funds were excluded, for such a wealthy person, how resourceful could the spatial rune equipment collection be?

    The temptation was irresistible!

    All three of them were consumed by greed and their eyes twinkled in rapaciously.

    They looked toward each other and turned off the page on themunicator to contact the others that were in the city.

    Most of them who were watching the city entrance were influenced by multiple parties, the situation within the City of Death was indeedplicated!

    Three of them did not know that someone else had already made their move as soon as Qin Feng entered into the city!

    To them, Qin Feng was like a well-fed sheep waiting to be ughtered!

    ***

    Qin Feng and Bai Li strolled casually into a shadowy alley.

    They went through four different alleys, and all of a sudden, the little boy ran away quickly and disappeared from a junction.

    Qin Feng remained calm and did not intend to chase and follow, and Bai Li looked around curiously.

    Then, several aptitude users appeared from the high walls of the houses that were aligned along both sides of the alley!

    All of them had hidden their presence by using conscious energy from the gunners.

    Qin Feng sneered and lifted the edge of his lips.

    Did they really think their trick would work?

    Right after the little boy appeared, Qin Feng already knew that it was a hoax.

    Initially, Qin Feng did not want to entertain any of it, however, on a second thought, it was a better option to clean up those that came to seek their own death, then, he would be able to avoid the overpriced hotel charges and also find himself a spot to stay!

    With that in mind, Qin Feng allowed himself to be guided by the little boy, and Qin Feng was not disappointed at all by the oue.

    All of a sudden, tens of aptitude users stormed into the surroundings and filled the narrow alley with horrifying internal strength.

    Vroom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal shield expanded instantly, he wrapped his left arm around Bai Li¡¯s waist and held her closer to him, and they were shrouded within the internal shield.

    Internal strength exploded from every weaponry in the surroundings and sted onto Qin Feng¡¯s internal shield.

    Boom boom boom boom!

    Deafening bombings echoed around the area.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal shield remained unaffected by attacks from at least seven ancient warriors!

    Qin Feng raised his right arm, and his internal strength spiraled like a whirlpool.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    All of them were merely D-tier aptitude users, and Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength was fifty times more than theirs, hence, even without any mistakes from them, Qin Feng was able to directly strike his explosive attack.

    The seven ancient warriors instantly felt a giant suction force that forcefully pulled them toward Qin Feng.

    Also, there was an unknown source of energy that was draining their internal strength and drawing them toward Qin Feng!

    Their internal shield was plunging at a visible speed.

    ¡°How is this happening?!¡±

    All of the ancient warriors were horrified.

    As soon as their internal shields had been depleted, they were forcefully dragged and mmed onto Qin Feng¡¯s internal shield.

    Then, they were horrified by another flow of energy that forced them into the reversal meridian, their internal strength was flowing backward!

    ¡°Attack...¡±

    One of them trembled and instructed the other three people that had yet to strike their attacks.

    Two of them were gunners, apanied by another ability user!

    ¡°Fire Beam!¡±

    The ability user was also a powerful D-tier, the fire beam that was sted out from his arm was about the size of a wrist, it hit onto Qin Feng¡¯s internal shield.

    It caused an instant explosion that wounded two other ancient warriors that were beside the shield.

    However, the attack was necessary to get them out of the dire situation.

    Before he couldunch the second attack, Qin Feng had also raised his hand.

    Qin Feng was not even equipped with any fire ability rune equipment.

    ¡°Fire Beam!¡±

    It was the same fire beam.

    However, three separated beams were being sted out and directed toward the ability user and the two other gunners that had taken out their guns.

    The fire beam was being channeled out like a pir of light, and it was about the size of a human face.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    The fire beams had instantly hit the targets, and all three of them were being tossed away!

    Smack!

    The ability user was tossed the furthest, he travelled for about thirty meters before crashing onto a wall, his entire body was charred ck.

    Meanwhile, two of the gunners already had no signs of life.

    As soon as all three of them were taken care of, Qin Feng revoked his conscious energy and initiated his internal strength.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    The internal strength absorption went rampant and all seven of the ancient warriors were instantly drained out to be dried corpses!

    There was not any bit of internal strength left behind, every energy and internal strength from their veins werepletely merged into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Within the blink of an eye, Qin Feng had umted fifteen uncondensed pockets of internal energy within his body.

    Without any doubt, Qin Feng immediately activated his internal strength.

    ¡°Repulsive force!¡±

    The suction force repulsed and instantly repelled all seven ancient warriors in an opposite direction, they were all tossed out with their dantian being destroyed and veins being shattered into pieces.

    The oue was the death of all seven of them.

    Qin Feng raised his hand again and sent out a formation of fiery red runes that flew toward the dead bodies.

    All nine dead bodies were diminished into ashes.

    Qin Feng casually lifted his hand and all of the remaining spatial rune equipment were gathered and was soon in Qin Feng¡¯s possession.

    Qin Feng loosened his grip on Bai Li¡¯s waist and walked steadily toward the ability user while mes were being activated on another hand.

    The ability user was shocked and immediately stood up.

    ¡°Don¡¯t kill me! Don¡¯t kill me!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a cold sneer, ¡°What now, not pretending to be dead anymore?¡±

    The ability user intended to fool Qin Feng by faking his death, however, he soon realized that it was not a viable move as Qin Feng would stille close to collect his spatial rune equipment.

    Hence, it was impossible for the ability user to escape from Qin Feng.

    However, he would already be dead if Qin Feng had the intention to kill him, right?

    ¡°Don¡¯t kill me, I can serve you in every way, how about that? From now on, I will be at your service!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression showed that he was disgusted by the cowardly behavior.

    However, it was not his first time killing, and it wasmon for him to see such a behavior!

    Only those who had thought that they were invincible would seek for their own death!

    It was at that moment; Qin Feng was alerted by a hoarse voice from behind.

    ¡°Hand out the spatial rune equipment, or else, she will not live!¡±

    Qin Feng turned around and saw a filthy and emaciated man, he was holding a dagger against Bai Li¡¯s neck.

    Furthermore, he looked simr to the little boy that he had followed earlier, their worn-out clothes were also the same, however, it seemed to fit better now!

    ¡°Bone shrinking? Youth reversal? Quite impressive, however...¡± Qin Feng smirked, ¡°You do not want to stain my girlfriend¡¯s clothes, she will be furious!¡±

 Chapter 431 - Kill and Occupy The Room

    <h4>Chapter 431:</h4>

    <h4>Kill and upy The Room</h4>

    As soon as Qin Fengpleted his sentence, a ray of silver light had already appeared on the neck of the emaciated man.

    The light ray expanded like a wide, opened pitch-ck mouth and instantly slit through his neck.

    The ancient warrior with worn-out clothes was decapitated!

    Bai Li used her conscious energy and repelled the person that was threatening her.

    Then, Qin Feng looked back toward the ability user that was left without any support from others.

    ¡°Gulp!¡±

    The ability user was terrified and forced himself to stay calm.

    The situation that seemed to be favorable for a moment had turned to an unexpected oue.

    He was the only one that was still alive.

    ¡°I will spare your life!¡± Qin Feng spoke casually.

    The ability user was stunned by the opportunity offered by Qin Feng and nodded continuously to agree.

    ¡°Hmm, I need a decent spot to rest, preferably no interference!¡± Qin Feng stated.

    The ability user nodded again, however, he seemed to have something else tricky in mind.

    ¡°Boss, this way, please!¡±

    The ability user covered his chest with his hand and took the lead.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li followed; however, they were led to a proper main street where the ability user summoned a hover car.

    Both of them got onto the car and it cruised within the City of Death.

    Scenery of the surroundings shed by on both sides of the car, and it was obvious that the people were living in a dire situation.

    Ordinary humans also lived within the City of Death, a ce that was crowded with ves, and the presence of women would often be apanied by the presence of newborns, though nine out of ten of the newborns would not survive the tough living condition. However, the remaining survivors would still contribute toward the poption of the City of Death.

    The entire ce was drowned in dark energy.

    As Qin Feng closed his eyes, he was surprised by dark runes in the surroundings that quickly merged into his conscious energy space.

    It was unbelievable.

    The injured ability user continued to lead the way, soon, they had passed by the slums and entered the city center of the City of Death.

    There was still no sunlight avable, however, nts still flourished and filled the area, while buildings around the area were more spacious, and it had allowed vis to be aligned in rows.

    However, it was a ce reserved for the enjoyment of the C-tier aptitude users.

    The ability user drove to the entrance of a vi and stopped there.

    There was no way for him to enter, as someone else had stopped him down at the entrance!

    The ability user got down from the car with ease, then, he went wild and ran behind the guard of the entrance.

    ¡°Quick, alert boss, the situation is a little sticky!¡±

    Of course, the ability user was very grateful that he was able to survive.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng and Bai Li had already gotten out from both sides of the car, also, another C-tier aptitude user was already at the entrance of the vi.

    As soon as the aptitude user saw Qin Feng and Bai Li, greed and temptation instantly filled his mind.

    The ability user was on top of the world in seeing that the C-tier hade out from the main entrance.

    ¡°Brother Dong, Brother Dong!¡±

    Liu Dong was known as brother Dong within the City of Death, he was one of the leaders within the city that was dominated by multiple influential parties that hadplicated ties between each other. He was also one of the thousand C-tiers in the city; as he was ranked lower within the C-tier hierarchy, his vi was also located at the outer parts of the city.

    However, as long as he was a C-tier, he would be entitled to have a prestigious status!

    The higher management level had already been alerted by Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s presence; therefore, Liu Dong had also been tipped off too!

    The only thing the citycked was its low signal strength, and also the absence of unmanned aerial surveince facilities within the base.

    Such methods were not required to reduce crime rate!

    The reason was because everyone had the same intention tomit crime, and the city had no control or punishments for that.

    Crimes for stealing, killing, there were too many of those!

    Liu Dong did not think that the two victims woulde to his ce on their own.

    ¡°Truly unexpected, fortune has fallen on myp!¡±

    Liu Dong nced toward Qin Feng and shifted his attention toward Bai Li, obviously, he was surprised by the gorgeous look.

    ¡°Hahahaha, kill this little kid, the girl shall remain, I have never seen such a beauty before!¡±

    As soon as Liu Dongmanded, D-tier aptitude users from the surroundings took action.

    The ability user was dumbstruck.

    ¡°Brother Dong, Eh, don¡¯t...¡±

    Unfortunately, nobody could hear the ability user as the surroundings were already filled with noises from the battle cries of the other aptitude users.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Liu Dong did not have many followers with him, and there were only twenty of them; with his presence at the scene, eight of his followers wanted to showcase their contribution byunching their attacks toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was only a D-tier; therefore, it was logical for them to think that they had the absolute advantage in killing Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not spare any mercy either!

    Boom!

    Both fists punched onto each other, Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength surged insanely.

    The internal strength of the aptitude user that went against Qin Feng was instantly suppressed, his internal shield was crushed and he was flung aside.

    Another two ancient warriors came from both sides and surrounded Qin Feng.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    Qin Feng pped and channeled his internal strength into a dragon w, a dragon roar echoed in the sky and both of the ancient warriors were instantly mmed onto the ground.

    Crack! Crack!

    The internal shields of both of the D2-tier ancient warriors were immediately destroyed.

    Furthermore, they were badly injured by the dragon m and they were vomiting blood.

    Poof!

    Qin Feng raised his hand while internal strength gushed out immediately.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    All of a sudden, both of the opponents were drawn up from the ground while Qin Feng pressed onto them at their stomachs, their internal strengths were flowing in reverse.

    Both of them trembled while every pocket of internal strength were being sucked out from their bodies, and they were instantly trashed.

    Qin Feng raised his hand again and repulsed, every internal organ of both of his opponents were shattered into pieces and as they fell onto the ground, ashes were scattered all around.

    The remaining four aptitude users that were further away were struck dumb.

    Needless to say, Liu Dong was also caught unaware.

    ¡°B*stard!¡±

    He did not expect to lose two of his followers to Qin Feng at once!

    It was an important day to have his followers risk their lives for him as he would be participating in the city¡¯s Secret Tower of Deathpetition that was about to be held at night.

    Now, two of them had died, and it would definitely reduce his capabilities.

    Total b*stard!

    It was Liu Dong¡¯s turn to strike!

    It only required one hit from Liu Dong to prove his capabilities.

    C1-tier.

    Although he was not as strong as Lei Ying, his capabilities were still above average, however, whenpared against Qin Feng, he was still one tier lower than him.

    However, the first hit from Liu Dong was already a deadly move.

    It was a highly destructive and sly move, aimed at Qin Feng with overflowing internal strength.

    Qin Feng was definitely prepared to take on the sudden attack, he reacted by also raising his hand.

    However, a ck light suddenly reflected from Liu Dong¡¯s fist.

    It was a hidden needle, a dark rune equipment.

    The pitch-ck needle instantly pierced through Qin Feng¡¯s internal shield.

    Dark abilities were well-known for its cunning and sly approach, such dark rune equipment was frequently used by Liu Dong, however, Qin Feng was unfamiliar with Liu Dong¡¯s approach and had not expected such a move from him.

    Although it was unexpected, it was still possible for Qin Feng to dodge it.

    However, Qin Feng did not wish to!

    Poof!

    The dark rune needle prated into Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder and ck mist instantly exploded and was smeared onto his shoulder.

    Liu Dongughed in satisfaction.

    The needle had always secured victory for Liu Dong.

    However, Qin Feng reacted unexpectedly.

    Qin Feng ignored the needle and continued summoning with his bare hands.

    A lengthy saber appeared, covered with blue mes.

    It was the Verdant Emperor Saber!

    Swoosh!

 Chapter 432 - Intimidate

    <h4>Chapter 432: Intimidate</h4>

    The Verdant Emperor Saber had always been an intimidating and powerful weapon, it was made from countless numbers of materialsbined using the Magical Tesseract.

    Apart from the mighty internal strength that was being embedded into it, the saber itself was also extremely sharp.

    Poof!

    A shnded, and its internal strength collided and neutralized against Liu Dong¡¯s internal shield.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber seemed like it was cutting into a fragile bean curd as it had directly cut through Liu Dong¡¯s internal shield!

    The exquisitely sharp des of the saber had been embedded with energy that made it even more horrifying.

    Liu Dong did not expect that at all; however, he was quick to react and moved away.

    He sprinted backward at high speed and barely dodged the hit from the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    His externalbat fatigue instantly caught on fire and burnt into ashes, exposing his inner armor.

    Golden glimmer!

    Surprisingly, the inner armor was made from beast emperor materials.

    How could Liu Dong afford such expensive materials?

    Qin Feng was a little surprised, only after he had taken another closer look, he realized it was just D-tier beast emperor inner armor.

    Despite the high defense capabilities of such inner armors, however, it might still not be able to withstand the attack from the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    It was just unfortunate that the saber did not hit on its target earlier.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a cold sneer, all of a sudden, he got closer to Liu Dong.

    ¡°How could this be possible?!¡±

    Liu Dong was surprised that the sly move had no effect on Qin Feng, however, he was clearly aware that he had failed to secure his victory like he always did!

    ¡°No way!¡±

    Being an esteemed C-tier aptitude user himself, Liu Dong assumed that it was impossible for Qin Feng to win the battle.

    He was enraged by the unfavorable oue, and his weapon was drawn out.

    Unexpectedly, it was an erged spiked bat.

    It seemed to be a heavily-weighted bat; however, it could be maneuvered with ease and generate a shocking amount of energy output; it would only require one hit from it to tear down fleshes and skins.

    Bang!

    Weapons from both sides collided into each other.

    The next moment, Liu Dong was being tossed away.

    Liu Dong could barely withstand the impact from the massive energy and hold on to his weapon.

    He felt like he was being rammed on by a gigantic beast and not a human being.

    Qin Feng took advantage of the victorious moment.

    Liu Dong immediately noticed that it was another great opportunity to pull out a sly move, he waved his spiked bat again.

    Boom boom!

    Bang!

    Both of them were caught up in an intense battle.

    All of the D-tier aptitude users that were in the surrounding had already escaped far away.

    The main entrance was being crushed and destroyed, while giant dents were left all around the ground.

    Thebat energy output from the both of them were insane.

    It was at that moment, both weapons collided into each other again, both of their internal shields had disappeared!

    Right now!

    Liu Dong saw the opportunity, he immediately pressed onto the handle of the spiked bat.

    Spikes on the spiked bat immediately retracted inward, and green mist began to appear around the area!

    ¡°Dirty ploy!¡±

    Qin Feng mocked.

    Would it not be embarrassing for a C-tier to still use these tricks?

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal shield did not rise up; however, he was immediately shrouded by a dash of me that circled around him.

    The me had immediately burnt off the poisonous gas, and none of it was able to invade Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Nheless, from the trick that Liu Dong had pulled off, he had also exposed his own fatal weakness.

    Qin Feng immediately took another step forward and pressed his left palm onto Liu Dong¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    All of a sudden, a massive suction force was being channeled.

    Liu Dong¡¯s eyes were opened wide, he was shocked by the reversed flow of internal strength within his body, it was like water gushing out from a released water dam.

    Within the blink of an eye, every bit of internal strength within his body was being sucked away by Qin Feng!

    ¡°No...ah...¡±

    Liu Dong struggled with all he could, however, he was losing even more energy, finally, he lost grip of his spiked bat!

    Qin Feng released his internal strength.

    ¡°Repulse!¡±

    Boom!

    Liu Dong was like a piece of worn out cloth that fell instantly onto the ground.

    Death!

    If it were not because of Qin Feng¡¯s intention of not drawing too much attention, it would not have taken such a long time to take Liu Dong down.

    Despite such concerns, the sudden attack had left the C-tier no chance of escape, anyone could imagine how horrifying it was!

    Conscious energy that was spying from other vis in the surroundings had reduced by half.

    Qin Feng shifted his attention toward other D-tiers.

    ¡°Boss, from now on, you are my boss!¡±

    The ability user that led Qin Feng here earlier immediately yelled again.

    However, Qin Feng raised his hand and let out another st of fire beam!

    The fire beam that was about half a meter in diameter had instantly gone through its target¡¯s body.

    Poof!

    The ability user fell onto the ground.

    The remaining two ancient warriors were terrified, and they knew that it was useless for them to surrender and forfeit their lives, they immediately fell back and ran away!

    Everyone was terrified and started running away!

    Qin Feng did bother to stop them either!

    Qin Feng slightly lifted his hand, hellfire appeared and burned all four corpses, while the remaining spatial rune equipment was casually tossed into the Battlegod Tomb.

    The City of Death also had its ce to take care of illegal items, however, the price for exchange was ridiculously high; therefore, Qin Feng did not have to do it the same way as others, he had his own method to outsource the items to other locations.

    He was the one who had ess to the secret territory, and it was essible by using the Battlegod Token and not limited by any specific area of ess in activating the spatial passage!

    After taking care of the corpses at the entrance, Qin Feng and Bai Li went into the vi.

    Everyone in the vi was horrified by the scene earlier, it had been years since battle had urred at that ce!

    Most importantly, the intruder who initiated the battle had won.

    ¡°Master... from now on, you are the new owner of the ce... how can I be at your service?¡±

    A person walked out from a room; she was nearly scared to death.

    She was an ordinary human.

    She was wearing a set of revealing maid attire, although she seemed to have been injected with awakening potion and her physical capabilities were enhanced, however, the weather condition at the City of Death was still too cold to be in such an attire.

    Qin Feng swept across the vi with his conscious energy and noticed that the surroundings were crowded with more than ten people, and all of them were females.

    All of them were previously Liu Dong¡¯s ves, and toys!

    Qin Feng frowned.

    ¡°Bring me to the guest room, tidy it up, and remove everything that has already been used before!¡±

    It was disgusting to just imagine what sort of activities Liu Dong had had at the ce.

    ¡°Alright, understood!¡±

    The woman immediately answered, fortunately, she could live on!

    ¡°Before I forget, everyone has to change to a proper attire!¡± Qin Feng ordered with his deep voice.

    ¡®Stop being a bad influence to Bai Li!¡¯

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    The woman immediately answered.

    Qin Feng settled down at the vi.

    It had a luxurious built, and it also came with a training room.

    Without wasting any time, Qin Feng began his training in the room.

    It had been a while since Qin Feng had been involved in such a massive massacre, hisst encounter was at Shadong Town!

    To be precise, it had been a while since he had killed someone with his Asteroid Assimtion skill!

    Furthermore, he had killed more than ten ancient warriors within the day itself, and there were already thirty clusters of internal energy within his dantian, all of them from somebody else.

    ¡°Devour!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately started devouring, solidifying, and reversing the internal strength, and it soon became fifty-six clusters of internal energy!

    It was a viable and exponential approach for Qin Feng to advance his ranking by just constantly seeking for kills, with his ancient warrior identity, he could easily achieve A-tier in less than half a year!

    However, it was not what he wanted.

 Chapter 433 - Secret Tower of Death

    <h4>Chapter 433: Secret Tower of Death</h4>

    Before reincarnating, Qin Feng¡¯s A-tier was just the strength of a regr ¡°powerful person¡±. If he did not have his Absorption ability, he might not have been able to obtain the title of ¡°Mercenary Lord¡±.

    Sure, A-tier was still quite a privileged title. But, there was still a huge difference between the A-tiers.

    If he wanted to be an A-tier, Qin Feng would choose to be the God of the A-tiers.

    ¡°Phew!¡±

    Qin Feng blew out a breath of convoluted air, easing up his body.

    His strength and skills had now been refined to a new level again!

    After taking a short break, Qin Feng took out the Godwill As and continued on training.

    Other than engagingbat in the wilderness, Qin Feng had been using the rest of his time to train and hone his skills.

    If he wanted to ascend to the top of the A-tiers, he must work harder¡ªeven harder than he did before he reincarnated.

    However, he did not have long to continue training with the arts from the Godwill As.

    Qin Feng frowned as he sensed that someone had intruded into the vi.

    Qin Feng had no underlings under his tutge at the moment. Hence, no one was around to stop intruders from getting into his home. Not only that, his vi was not a fancy one¡ªit was connected with the other vis, like a terraced town house. It had its own ¡°garden¡± but it was more like a smallwn; its main entrance was still not fully repaired yet.

    It was quite easy for anyone to walk straight into his home.

    And that was not all. This intruder was actively releasing his aura and presence. It was almost like he was taunting him!

    In the vi, other than Liu Dong¡¯s ve, the other servants were scared shitless, breathing heavily as they shook in fear!

    Frowning, Bai Li walked out from her room upstairs.

    Qin Feng too stood up and opened his door, looking at the intruder.

    It was an E-tier ancient warrior!

    Qin Feng immediately released his own presence and aura, enveloping the ancient warrior.

    His aura was so powerful and intimidating that the warrior felt as though the space and dimension around him were imploding.

    ¡°Pfft!!!!¡±

    In an instant, the ancient warrior threw up a mouthful of blood, indicating that his internal organs had suffered huge damage.

    ¡°Thud!¡±

    The E-tier ancient warrior was now kneeling on the floor. The powerful aura that he had emitted earlier was now gone!

    ¡°Leave us!¡± Bai Li scanned her surroundings as she ordered.

    ¡°Ye...Yes, ma¡¯am!¡± the servants, who seemed to have received great pardon for their crimes of letting an intruder in, quickly ran into a small room in the vi and dared not toe out anymore!

    Although their new owners seemed to not care for them, they did treat them well. At the very least, they did not torture them. Nheless, these owners were still too weak, as evidenced by this hostile man who came knocking on their doors when they had barely settled down.

    Qin Feng sat on the sofa as he stared down at the E-tier ancient warrior, who was still kneeling on the floor.

    ¡°You... I am Master Cheng¡¯s underling!¡± that E-tier ancient warrior said calmly.

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter who your master is, you¡¯re still an underling. If you¡¯re weak, then you¡¯ve got no ce to be here. Do you have a death wish?¡±

    The E-tier ancient warrior clenched his teeth. ¡°If you want to kick a dog, you still gotta check who its master is. How dare you offend Master Cheng!¡±

    Qin Feng scoffed, ¡°Oh? So you¡¯re acknowledging that you¡¯re a dog, huh? This is the first time I¡¯ve seen anyone admit his real identity!¡±

    That ancient warrior¡¯s face turned ck in an instant. It was quite evident that he was pissed after hearing what Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Don¡¯t get too cocky, Qin Feng. Don¡¯t think that you own this ce! You¡¯re new here, so you better learn the rules here! City of Death isn¡¯t the Human Alliance¡¯s colonies!¡±

    Qin Feng smirked again, ¡°So what? Other than Secret Tower of Death, there¡¯s nothing here all that different between here and the colonies.¡±

    The ancient warrior was stunned after hearing this.

    ¡°You knew!¡±

    Qin Feng gave the ancient warrior a cold grin.

    How would he not know? This Secret Tower of Death was the reason he came to the City of Death.

    Of course, other than this, there was also another reason!

    Seeing that Qin Feng¡¯s aura was still enveloping him, the Ancient Warrior clenched his teeth and said, ¡°Here, this is the invitation from Master Cheng. Tomorrow night, you must attend the expedition in the Secret Tower of Death. Or else, you better get ready to face a whole world of hurt!¡±

    Qin Feng retorted coldly, ¡°Invitation? Him? So, if I head to the tower, who am I representing? Him? So, if I were to gain anything from the expedition, he¡¯ll get all the goodies?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡±

    ¡°Is he retarded? I can murder the sh*t out of a C-tier at a whim. And he wants me to work for him? Who does he think he is? Does he think he is a B-tier aptitude user?¡±

    There were only a handful of B-tier aptitude users in the City of Death. Yet, they all did not care to respond to this Master Cheng¡¯s invitation.

    Qin Feng had no idea who this Master Cheng was. And even if he knew who he was, there was no way he would work under another man.

    The Ancient Warrior gulped down a spit of blood in his mouth and continued saying, ¡°That isn¡¯t my problem. I¡¯ve delivered the invitation for Master Cheng. If you¡¯re unwilling toply, I¡¯ll have to deliver your refusal to him myself then.¡±

    And if Master Cheng knew that Qin Feng had denied his invitation, this Qin Feng would probably not live to see tomorrow¡¯s sunrise.

    ¡°Oh, there¡¯s no need. This isn¡¯t a ce that anyone can step in whenever they want without consequence. So, if you want to leave, you¡¯re walking out a dead man.¡±

    ¡°Master Cheng would make you pay!¡±

    Staring at Qin Feng, the ancient warrior seemed to be disying fear!

    He realized that Qin Feng did not seem to be joking.

    And he could not help but to feel some fleeting regrets too. He had been using Master Cheng as his shield for far too long, to the point where he had forgotten that this world was a dog-eat-dog world.

    The other people had been speaking to him respectfully, not because of who he was but because he was Master Cheng¡¯s underling. They did not fear him¡ªthey feared Master Cheng.

    And if he was meeting a neer who did not care about this at all, he was nothing but a lowly E-tier ancient warrior.

    ¡°Oh, make me pay?¡± Qin Feng smirked, ¡°If I let you go, he will stille f*ck with me anyway. We have started off on the wrong foot already and there¡¯s nothing in it for me to fix this. So, there¡¯s no point in letting you go.¡±

    After finishing his words, Qin Feng raised his hand and extended his internal force, which formed a pair of massive palms, straggling the ancient warrior.

    ¡°Twist!¡±

    Without any hesitation, Qin Feng snapped the ancient warrior¡¯s neck and threw him out of the door. The corpse was thrown out all the way to the main road¡ªany passerby could see the corpse just outside of his vi.

    Having any person dead in the City of Death was just a day-to-day thing to most people here. It was the ¡°City of Death¡± after all. However, it was quite umon for anyone to die in the vi area.

    Word spread quickly and things quickly escted.

    In just a few moments, the corpse was quickly carried away!

    ¡°Geez, that neer dared to offend Master Cheng!¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that Qin Feng still a D-tier aptitude user? How could he be so reckless?¡±

    ¡°Oooh, his bounty is now 100 billion! Now that¡¯s a target!¡±

    However, most people were just observing from afar.

    Qin Feng had, after all, murdered Liu Dong just a while ago. This had made the others think twice before crossing him.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, was listening to the intr in the City of Death. Being located underground, the City of Death not only could receivemunication from other cities viawork, it also had its own intrawork.

    Thiswork was built by the real owner of the City of Death. One of its main purposes was to send out invitations to raid the Secret Tower of Death every week. Each invitation could be bought with 1,000 power credit. If one wanted to ce a bet, they would also need to buy a spectator ticket.

    This was about the same when Qin Feng was participating in the underground tournament in Chengbei. Or, the one at Chengyang Arena too.

    Gambling always brought great fortune for the organizer, and asionally the participants.

    Qin Feng bought an invitation and a spectator ticket.

    Bai Li was not allowed to join the raid.

    The Secret Tower of Death was a Secret Territory. It would always be pressed by a powerful dimensional pressure and bound by some specific rules andws. This would make the one entering it having to endure great pressure.

    Especially to the C-tiers.

    And Bai Li was a C-tier beast emperor. It would be unwise for her to go in.

    But, if she stayed outside of the tower, she could still ce a bet and gamble!

 Chapter 434 - Descending The Tower

    <h4>Chapter 434: Descending The Tower</h4>

    After ordering the invitation and ticket on thework, a ck-robed man showed up in Qin Feng¡¯s vi in just mere minutes!

    The others who were observing Qin Feng¡¯s vi too had noticed the arrival of the ck-robed man.

    This ck-robed man was an official agent from the authorities of the City of Death and also, naturally, an underling of the owner of the City of Death.

    After Qin Feng made the payment, the man left the merchandise with him and left.

    The ck-robed men had a nickname¡ªthe ¡°Death Messengers¡±.

    Because out of ten people who received these invitations, usually nine of them would not make it back home after entering the raid.

    Checking the invitation, Qin Feng saw that he was ¡°Number 277¡±. This meant that up until minutes ago, there were already two hundred seventy seven people signing up.

    It was not an impressive number. However, if all of them were D-tier aptitude users, this would mean a lot! With them, it would be enough to take on a massive ultra beast wave at Shadong Town!

    And that was not all, by tomorrow morning, there would be even more people participating.

    Qin Feng calmly put the items he purchased earlier away.

    ***

    The next day, the sky in the City of Death was still very grey and dark. There was no way for them to see the sunlight, thus resulting in this gloomy atmosphere in the city. When Qin Feng arrived at his destination, he saw a group of people fuming with murderous intent there.

    They were all emitting a surge of berserking scent. It felt as though if anyone were to light up a match in front of them, they would all explode in an instant!

    And there were about two thousand of them at the scene.

    Of course, not all of them were participants¡ªin fact, most of them were spectators.

    Standing in the middle of the crowd were two hundred C-tier aptitude users. As for the ones standing behind them, there were a whole mix of people; it was quite difficult to determine who were the participants in the crowd behind the C-tiers.

    There were also the others who shied away from everyone, only daring to stay at the outer rims of the crowd. These seemed to be the ones who had no powerful dependents to rely on, thus taking cautious steps all the way was their way of life. Some of them were E-tier aptitude users.

    Of course, they were not here to participate. It was most likely that they were here to gamble.

    There were not many means for E-tiers to make a living. Heading out of the city alone would cost them 10 power credits, and they might not be able to even afford it.

    Hence, to most people in the city, trades were usually done via barters. Most of the people in the city sold their bodies, or volunteered themselves asbor to exchange for some scraps of food. If not, all that was left for them to do was to try to kill bounties.

    Besides, even if they wanted to leave the city, they would most likely be harassed by the guards¡ªwho were mostly D-tiers. If E-tiers insisted in disobeying them, the result would be them being ughtered right away.

    In other words, the city was a death trap for the weak, and there was no way out!

    A momentter, the clock struck 12 noon. The ck-robed men finally walked out of the building!

    As usual, they stood there without saying anything. Even their presence was carefully hidden too.

    They then took out dimensional devices from their pockets and started to set them up.

    A few minutester, a huge dimensional gate appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes.

    The C-tiers were quick to rush into the gate. In fact, some of them almost got into an unnecessary brawl for wanting to enter first.

    Yet, rules did not matter to the Dark Coalition. They did not even care about their allies¡¯ or foes¡¯ strength. However, there was one thing that they cared about¡ªpride. If a person gave another a dirty look, or grunted something unpleasant, a brawl would usually erupt in an instant!

    Qin Feng and Bai Li stood behind the crowd, keeping a low profile.

    This was not due to their presence being weaker than the others but it was because Qin Feng had released some dark runes, hiding his own presence.

    Of course, the others would still be able to see him. However, they would not pay much attention to his existence.

    To do this, it required him to put extra focus to hide his presence.

    Therefore, Qin Feng had walked through the dimensional gate without conflicts.

    Then, his surroundings changed into a fully sealed Secret Territory.

    There was a huge hole, thousands of meters in size, in front of Qin Feng.

    Not only that, there were also fifty levels, each twenty meters in height. These levels were emitting some weird, robust aura that excited one if one were to get close.

    There was nothing at the first ten levels. However when they descended to the 12th level, they saw some bones.

    It was the bones of a Golden-scaled Python King!

    This thing was so familiar to Qin Feng!

    Not only that, there were also other stuffying around.

    The scales of Crimson Dragon!

    Silver Feathers!

    Purple Dusk Silk!

    Pyro Dust!

    The further they descended down, the rarer the materials they found along the way. At the 30th level, they found a red, crimson stone.

    ording to the data archive of the Human Alliance, this was the ¡°Rejuvenating Stone¡±. The stone possessed potent red energy on it, ensuring that whoever that carried it would not die!

    The item was a B-tier emperor ss item. Of course, even the G-tier aptitude users could use it too.

    The lower they went, the better the items they found.

    Qin Feng even found a Dawnstar at the 35th level.

    This was such a good find!

    And yet, the others did not seem to mind all that much. All they did was calmly scan their surroundings before putting on their participant badges.

    Some C-tiers even took out tables and chairs from their pocket dimensions and sat on them.

    ¡°Hey, Master Li. Have you be a chicken after losing so much in thest round?¡±

    ¡°Master Qian, that¡¯s a lot of people you¡¯re bringing with you. Just how many levels are you descending today?¡±

    ¡°Hehe, Master Cheng. It seems that you¡¯re gonna need to give it your all this time, huh?¡±

    Various voices were vibrating in Qin Feng¡¯s ears.

    At this moment Qin Feng could feel a sharp murderous intent aiming at him.

    Looking toward the direction where the murderous intent wasing from, Qin Feng could see a middle-aged C4-tier man grinning as he red at him. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

    ¡°There was a certain moron who forgot his ce yesterday. We need to teach him a lesson!¡±

    There were seven D-tier Aptitude Users standing around him. It was quite obvious that they too had brought their invitations.

    These invitation cards were the same as the Human Alliance badges. The numbers that were on the cards could be seen clearly on their chests.

    Qin Feng knew this was the ¡°Master Cheng¡± that the dead twerp who intruded his vi worked for yesterday.

    After giving him a brief, cold look, Qin Feng proceeded to ignore him!

    It was at this moment, the ck-robed men activated the intr in the area. As soon as that happened, bets started to rain into the gambling pot.

    It did not take long for Qin Feng to find himself on the list. After seeing the rate, he could not help but frown.

    He was a neer, thus he was ced quite low in the ranks.

    Five ranks was a huge gap in the Secret Tower of Death.

    If there were no bets in the four ranks before you, the one at the 5th rank would receive a betting odd.

    Yet, Qin Feng did not have one!

    Then, after a while, on the 10th level, Qin Feng got himself a 10:1 odd.

    Only when he had reached the 10th level, one then could bet 10 power credit on him and win 1 power credit.

    15 levels was 5:1.

    20 levels was 2:1.

    25 levels was 1:1.

    30 levels was 1:2.

    In other words, this would not make him much money.

    Of course, if he could reach to 35 levels and above, he would have better odds. However, Qin Feng did not intend to do that.

    The loot at the 35th level would probably be so valuable that even a B-tier would skip a beat when seeing it. Yet, those were not things Qin Feng wanted.

    It was then, the sky of the Secret Tower of Death exploded in a burst of silver rays! A huge dimensional passage, one that was several hundred meters wide, appeared! Then, hundreds and thousands of garbage pieces were poured out of the dimensional passage, filling the lower part of the tower!

 Chapter 435 - Gambling Odds of 400

    <h4>Chapter 435: Gambling Odds of 400</h4>

    Most of the goodies were all scattered at the lower areas.

    Thus, when the trash was poured down from above, some of the good loots were flushed up to the 10 or 20-ish levels.

    As dust burst out into the air, several glimmers of shining reflection of the loot could be seen from the outside!

    The energy that was vibrating from these rare loots were quite attractive to everyone who had seen it!

    Even Qin Feng, an extensively knowledgeable man, had never seen some of them. However, they were definitely good loot!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened as they saw the loots in the air.

    Several C-tiers even lost their cool as they saw them.

    Even though they were not able to scan the items for long, they quickly ordered their teammates to start moving.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator started ringing.

    ¡°5 minutes before Registration!¡±

    ¡°10 minutes before Betting!¡±

    Oh, there was still time to register?

    Suddenly Qin Feng had an idea as he quickly scanned the area.

    The people that were scanned by him did not even notice Qin Feng¡¯s scanning.

    These people were E-tier aptitude users.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng was stunned when he saw a young man.

    This man was just about 18 or 19 years old, about 170 cm tall, and looked as thin as a matchstick!

    However, his eyes were glowing with red res, like the eyes of wolves.

    Despite his weak appearance, he was actually tough! Yet, his tier was a measly ¡°E¡±.

    In the City of Death, the E-tiers were the weakest of the weak. Most of them could only get a janitorial job in the tower and City of Death. Yet, this kid seemed different. He was strong.

    He was a man who lived all his life in the Secret Tower of Death. Being able to live through that whopping 19 years in this dog-eat-dog world was enough to toughen him up.

    He was now as tough and as fierce as a true champion!

    Qin Feng knew who that kid was.

    This kid, in the future, would fight his way out of this Secret Tower of Death and be the best bounty hunter in the Bounty Hunter Network and fiercest hitman in the Dark Hitmen Network!

    An A-tier Super Star¡ªJin Fei!

    Qin Feng was so surprised to see him here.

    Right now, Jin Fei was still struggling in the City of Death, still finding his way out of this hell hole!

    Qin Feng cultivated some of his internal force and vibrated his voice into Jin Fei¡¯s ears, ¡°I¡¯ll get you an Exit Ticket and bring you out of the towerter. And I¡¯ll share 1% of my earnings in this raid, deal?¡±

    Jin Fei was stunned when he heard Qin Feng¡¯s words!

    1% was probably around 100 power credits. It might not mean much in the world outside but in the City of Death alone that was a lot of money. And Jin Fei did note to the Tower to gamble.

    He had no interest in gambling. He had no money to gamble.

    Yet, whenever the Secret Tower of Death opened up, Jin Fei would always show up. Because he wanted to observe and learn. He was a genius in learning ancient warriors¡¯ martial arts.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s words were quite surprising to him.

    Jin Fei knew just how dangerous the Secret Tower of Death was.

    Qin Feng said he would give him some shares of his loot. That sounded good and all but to him this meant asking him to give up his life for him.

    Besides, Jin Fei had no idea who this person was! Still, even if this came from a D-tier aptitude user, he needed to heed to this demand. Or else, he would be murdered by this person.

    The first thing that crossed his mind was¡ªjust who had he offended and crossedtely!

    Suddenly, a man walked by him, and lightly pushed him!

    In the next moment, there was a small bag in Jin Fei¡¯s hands!

    It did not take long for him to realize that the heavy stuff inside the bag was tons of power credits!

    1,000 power credits. This was a sudden increase of fat for Jin Fei¡¯s wallet. But this was also a huge problem for him.

    ¡°Go. Time for registration is going to close up soon.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s words were firm and unwavering, giving him a sense of threat.

    Of course, Qin Feng did not intend to threaten him. His only purpose was to help Jin Fei find a way out of the City of Death. If he got out, he would be one of the sharpest des on the. He did not want to lose any chance in capitalizing this human asset.

    Yet, all he saw in Jin Fei¡¯s eyes right now was fear. Nothing but fear and dread.

    He suddenly realized something¡ªJin Fei, at this time, was still a weakling!

    He was so weak that this ¡°golden opportunity¡± that Qin Feng thought he was offering him was nothing but a glorious death sentence!

    Still, Qin Feng did not intend to give up on him yet. So, he decided to threaten and urge him to register.

    Of course, this did not work too well either. Only 3 minutes left before the registration would close up and Jin Fei was still hesitating.

    ¡°Bai Li, do it.¡±

    Qin Feng could not wait anymore; so, he ordered Bai Li to help him out.

    In an instant, Bai Li¡¯s psionic energy bubbled up around Jin Fei.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Jin Fei¡¯s eyes were filled with despair as he realized what was going on¡ªPsionic Control!

    Bai Li was a C-tier beast emperor; so, her Psionic power was quite strong. It was quite easy for her to control Jin Fei.

    Under the influence of Bai Li, Jin Fei walked toward the ck-robed men and registered a ce in the Secret Tower of Death with the 1,000 power credits.

    The ck-robed men were surprised when they saw Jin Fei registering.

    Jin Fei was an E-tier aptitude user so he also had amunicator. This meant that he had some personal details recorded in it too. After double checking it, the ck-robed men confirmed that he was indeed an E-tier!

    ¡°E-tier? Do you have a death wish? Know that if you regretter, we won¡¯t return this money to you!¡±

    After collecting the power credits, they gave Jin Fei an invitation card to put on his chest.

    It was Number 444!

    ¡°Death Death Death¡±! What an unlucky number!

    Jin Fei marched to Qin Feng step by step and then stood behind him. It seemed as though he was doing this against his will.

    Finally, the time for registration was closed up. The bets were raining into the pot.

    In the vast number of bets, Jin Fei was like a thorn among the roses in the midst of all the D-tiers. And no one dared to bet on Jin Fei.

    Most of them who were betting were C-tiers that were renown in the City of Death. They would usually bet on their own underlings and win the winnings. And meanwhile, their underlings would need to work together to snipe others so that their bosses could win their bets.

    Of course, these underlings also needed toe back alive. If they were to win and acquire loads of loots but died along the way, their bosses would not get even a dime.

    As for Jin Fei, his odds were quite ridiculous!

    His betting odds were stacking by tens and hundreds after passing the 5th levels. If he could survive till the 30th level, the one who bet on them would get 400 times their money!

    Of course, this was probably to draw some spectacles for this raid by the authority!

    ¡°Bai Li. Lay down your bet on Number 444. It¡¯s 400 times your money. You could get 10 billion in one go!¡±

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll put all of my money in. We could get 4 trillion this way!¡±

    Bai Li walked away giggling,ying down her bet!

    Jin Fei was still under Bai Li¡¯s control so he could not move a muscle at all. Yet, he was still conscious.

    It felt as though Jin Fei¡¯s body was a house and Bai Li had taken control of it, forcing him to a corner of a wall. Yet, he could still hear whatever that was said outside.

    Jin Fei did not know if he wanted to roar out in anger or smirk in amusement!

    ¡°400 odds? In your dreams!¡±

    It was not just Jin Fei, even the ck-robed men thought the same too. They thought Bai Li had totally lost her mind! Number 444 is just an E-tier!

    Yet, this was not an umon sight. There were also some people who tended to opt to protect a certain participant to earn the winnings of great odds. Still, the chance for him to survive until the 30th level was quite ridiculous!

 Chapter 436 - You Wonâ€™t Die

    <h4>Chapter 436: You Won¡¯t Die</h4>

    Nheless, the ck-robed menid down an order and asked a dozen of D-tier aptitude users to lock onto Jin Fei.

    He was just an E-tier. Just kill him.

    Most casino owners had one thing inmon¡ªthey hated the unpredictable!

    Even if Jin Fei would surely die down there with hisck of skills, they could not risk it. They, after all, had to give up 4 trillion power credits if he were to survive the raid!

    This, naturally, had attracted the attention of other spectators.

    After all, Bai Li hadid down a 10 billion bet.

    The other C-tiers went and had a look before mocking inughter.

    ¡°Whelp, we should leave some room for the youngsters to make something!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, what if he survives? The true way of living in the City of Death is to not fear death!¡±

    ¡°Hehe, what nonsense. The ones who don¡¯t fear death have mostly died though.¡±

    Thus, Jin Fei¡¯s betting odds had risen up by at least 5 times.

    The betters were not stingy spenders. Many of them had earned hundreds and thousands via killing ultra beasts whenever they stepped out of the City of Death. Some of them even had their own business enterprises in the human societies.

    The likes like Lei Ying, Gao Yukang, had earnings of over 500 billion power credits.

    And there were about two hundred C-tier aptitude users in the scene. Each one of themid down a bet of 5 billion. With that, the money in the pot was rising by the minute!

    Of course, they were only betting on Jin Fei tost till the 5th level. They did not think he could reach the 30th level.

    Well, even him reaching the 10th level was something unthinkable to most.

    Meanwhile, after being locked on by ten aptitude users, if Jin Fei was not being shielded by Bai Li¡¯s Psionic Energy, he would have probably been crushed by the intense pressure and died!

    Sure, he was one of the best killers in the future. He was going to be the king of the killers!

    However, right now, this young man was still an E-tier weakling.

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep! The betting¡¯s off!¡±

    Suddenly, the levels of the Secret Tower of Death started to spin.

    It was like the levels had turned into several massive roulettes, spinning in different directions all at once. The garbage that was poured onto the levels was ground into dust, vanishing into thin air, leaving only the invaluable, highly-prized loots in them.

    Still, something fearsome started to happen.

    It seemed as though even those loots were also starting to melt in the spinning levels!

    ¡°It¡¯s started. Get down quick!¡±

    The dimension that they were in was just an entrance.

    It was like the Secret Tower was the boxing ring and they were now standing in the waiting room.

    The Secret Tower of Death was a massive ce, one that could fit thousands of people. Yet, it only had one huge za in the middle, forcing everyone to stand close to one another like in a can of sardines.

    Only when the levels were spinning fiercely and spurring out destructive energy, a ¡°door¡± would then show up.

    ¡°Be careful. If there¡¯s any danger, I will bring you out using my pocket dimension!¡± Bai Li said.

    Unlike Bai Li, it was quite impossible for the others to bring someone in and meddle in the affairs inside the tower.

    There were countless dimensional runes inside the tower. And most of them did not have even the faintest idea of how they worked, only able to fight and work under the specific rules set by the runes.

    Suddenly, a surge of powerful air started to whirl at the ce they stood. Although the wind was not too strong, several E-tiers Aptitude Users took a few steps back from the spectator area, fearing that they too would fall into the Tower!

    ¡°Go!¡±

    The ancient warriors, who had already gotten ready, leapt into the stage.

    As the wind started to whirl even stronger, countless items were blown up into the air. A half-broken ultra beast crystal core that was lying at the 30th level was blown up to the 8th level!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes were glimmering with envy!

    It was a C-tier beast king¡¯s crystal core! Right in front of them!

    How valuable was that? This thing was a C-tier! It was worth about 50 billion power credits! Even if it was now broken in half, it would still be worth about 20 billion power credits!

    Even if this meant very little to Qin Feng, to the others this thing was worth quite a lot!

    A D-tier ultra beast would require most to have trained a dozen of years to kill. And that would only give them a few billion power credits. And this thing was C-tier! This thing was worth ten times more than what they usually killed. Thus, this thing would naturally attract them to fight one another to grab it, even if it would cost them their lives!

    The 8th level in the tower was only about eighty meters away. It would only take three seconds for a D-tier ancient warrior to reach it!

    Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!

    The ancient warriors quickly dashed down.

    Meanwhile, Bai Li¡¯s Psionic Energy was pulled out of Jin Fei¡¯s body.

    Suddenly released from the Psionic influence, Jin Fei fell down on the ground.

    The C-tier ultra beast crystal had attracted the attention of others, distracting them from Jin Fei.

    ¡°Come with me if you want to live!¡± Qin Feng looked at Jin Fei coldly.

    Jin Fei had always been careful throughout his life. His awakened ability was a simple one¡ªPhotographic Memory. As such, every single person that Jin Fei had seen, no matter D-tier or C-tier, if he had seen them, he would remember them all his life.

    He even knew which E-tiers had which D-tiers as their protectors. Like, if a certain E-tier were to die, he would know it was due to him offending a certain E-tier, who was under a certain D-tier¡¯s protection.

    Jin Fei had always been careful all his life. That was how he was able to stay alive until today!

    Yet now, Jin Fei¡¯s life was in Qin Feng¡¯s grasp!

    ¡°I am not strong enough. If I am strong, I would not be controlled by anyone! Too bad... I¡¯m about to die now... I¡¯m going to die...¡±

    Jin Fei mumbled in his heart in despair.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng did not pay much attention to the young man¡¯s predicament. Instead, he took out a white thread that was as thick as his wrist.

    It was the spider thread from the D-tier broodmother!

    In just a few moments, Jin Fei¡¯s waist was tied tightly with the spider thread by Qin Feng, and then the other end of the thread was tied onto Qin Feng¡¯s own waist.

    Qin Feng needed to do this so Jin Fei would listen to him and keep up with him.

    Jin Fei was then being dragged along by Qin Feng using the thread to the 1st level.

    A surge of destructive energy suddenly flowed straight toward his face, causing some scratches to appear on his skin.

    Vroosh!

    Before Jin Fei was able to open his mouth, a powerful internal force, one that was three meters wide, enveloped and shielded his body.

    ¡°Ah! You...¡± Jin Fei stared at Qin Fei in surprise. ¡°Your internal shield! How does it work like that?!¡±

    D-tier ancient warriors could use their internal energy for various purposes. Jin Fei had seen a lot of those. Yet, this one that Qin Fei was emitting was quite different from the others.

    His internal shield could extend to as wide as three meters! This was something that only someone who was C-tier or stronger could do!

    Besides, without a powerful supply of internal force, it would be too exhausting to do this.

    Nheless, it was not quite umon for someone to reach the height of power like Qin Feng¡¯s.

    There was a specific ¡°secret¡± in the Secret Tower of Death. On the surface, this ce seemed to be a massive casino for gamblers and fearless warriors to grab loot. Yet, only the ones who had been to the tower knew the destructive energy that this Secret Territory emitted could help one to cultivate their internal energy.

    This destructive energy could suppress one¡¯s internal strength, thus causing their aura to be even more potent than usual.

    If Qin Feng was someone who had participated in all the eighteen times of the Secret Tower raid and then had acquired this powerful internal strength, Jin Fei would believe it.

    Yet, the problem was, Jin Fei had never seen Qin Feng in his life, ever!

    ¡°You won¡¯t die. You have my word.¡±

    Qin Feng calmlyid down a promise. A promise that sparked a glimmer of hope in Jin Fei¡¯s eyes.

 Chapter 437 - Three Levels Three Kills

    <h4>Chapter 437: Three Levels Three Kills</h4>

    After that, Qin Feng immediately grabbed Jin Fei, and both of them leapt on top of the roof!

    One step for one level.

    A devastatingly strong wind blew over them.

    The internal force around him was unmoved.

    Qin Feng kept steadily moving forward.

    Butpared to the speed of everyone else, it was like Qin Feng and Jin Fei were just having a peaceful stroll.

    The fastest person had already reached the 5th level!

    Boom!

    A D-tier ancient warrior suddenly broke out with great speed andunched himself toward the 5th level in the blink of an eye.

    Everyone could see that the internal force of that particr ancient warrior was vibrating violently.

    The 5th level had even stronger destructive energy. Not only that, its steps were constantly spinning, gradually leaving the safe zone where they had appeared before. The surroundings of the room were a dull grey and the way ahead was blocked by a metal roof.

    It could be said that this was apletely enclosed space!

    Not only that, the C-tier beast king energy crystal core that everyone had their eyes on had been repositioned to somewhere else.

    It did not move eighty meters, instead it moved a distance of nine hundred twenty meters!

    ¡°Crap!¡±

    ¡°B*stard, that¡¯s because you¡¯re in my way!¡±

    ¡°You wanna die?¡±

    The people around suddenly cried out in discontent. The levels they were on were different and the rotation of the steps were in a different direction as well, and everyone was eventually separated!

    There were still a lot of people on the 1st level.

    Qin Feng steadily stepped up to the 2nd level.

    Although Jin Fei suddenly felt nervous, he soon discovered that Qin Feng was protecting him. He was not hurt at all and he could not even feel the pain that was supposed to be caused by the destructive energy around him.

    There was a glimmer of hope in his mind.

    Could this be the one to do it?

    That hope in Jin Wei¡¯s eyes quickly turned into fear.

    ¡°Watch out, that¡¯s Zhang Bei, a D4-tier ancient warrior who has the C-tier internal force Explosion Technique. He has a famous move called the ¡®Thousandfold Palm¡¯, don¡¯t get close to him!¡±

    But Zhang Bei was alreadying over!

    As soon as he was close enough, he unleashed his signature move!

    Internal force erupted from his body, even the energy eating storm could not stop the countless palm prints that wereing straight toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°We¡¯re done for...¡±

    Jin Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he stared at the countless palms, eyes widening.

    It was at this time that Qin Feng raised his hand.

    Golden light gathered in the center of his palm and a huge dragon w was formed.

    The dragon w quickly tore through the barrage of countless palms and violently mmed into Zhang Bei¡¯s body.

    Boom!

    With just one hit, Zhang Bei was sent flying thirty meters away.

    Not only that, his internal force shield was shattered as he crashed onto the 3rd level.

    Whoosh!

    The wind brushed against his body, instantly causing countless amounts of small red marks to appear on exposed skin and in the blink of an eye, he was but a mess of blood shaped like a person.

    Boom!

    He crashed into the 3rd level¡¯s tform and remained motionless.

    Everyone thought that Zhang Bei was killed by the strange destructive energy, but Qin Feng knew that Zhang Bei was killed by his attack!

    With his current strength, Qin Feng could challenge people up to C5-tier if he wanted to, let alone a D5-tier!

    ¡°Whoa!¡± Jin Fei could not believe his eyes.

    Maybe it was luck!

    He swallowed that lump in his throat, but before he could calm down, his heart was back in his throat again.

    Qin Feng continued to move forward.

    He had stepped onto the top of the 2nd level!

    The destructive wind was even stronger here, there was even an air current that could be seen by the naked eye.

    However, the internal force surrounding Qin Feng¡¯s body did not even seem to move.

    It was very stable.

    Jin Fei cried out a warning again.

    ¡°It¡¯s the Third Sea Lord, run!¡±

    This man was the first to ascend the levels before Qin Feng because the 1st level turned counterclockwise while the 2nd level turned clockwise. When Qin Feng reached the 2nd level, the man just happened to be on his left.

    His opponent was arge bald man with a huge axe in his hands, charging at him with an overhead swing.

    Qin Feng casually flicked his left hand.

    ¡°Firebeam!¡±

    Phoom!

    A beam of unparalleled fire ability rushed forward at astonishing speed.

    This Third Sea Lord tried to block it with his axe but was still sent more than ten steps backward. Not only that, his internal force was disrupted too!

    ¡°Magma Pir!¡±

    The ce where the Third Sea Lord stood turned into magma, then rushed up into the air,pletely covering him.

    ¡°Gyaaaah!¡±

    He screamed, and in only five seconds, he was reduced to ash.

    Qin Feng frowned a little but pressed on.

    ¡°These people don¡¯t have spatial rune equipment?¡±

    Jin Fei was shocked by that question, but hearing Qin Feng ask, he automatically responded, ¡°How is it possible to bring that when the Secret Tower of Death would damage all spatial rune equipment? Once the internal force has been shattered or the elemental shields are broken, everything on the person would also be broken, it¡¯s total obliteration!¡±

    Qin Feng did not think of that. After all, he had never climbed the tower before.

    This was his first time.

    ¡°Oh. I see!¡±

    ¡°Wait wait, but, I don¡¯t want to say this but you, you¡¯re an ancient warrior right? How... how can you use abilities too?¡± Jin Fei¡¯s gaze was getting shaky.

    Qin Feng forced him toe here. In Jin Fei¡¯s eyes, he thought that he was going to die, so he did not just fear him, he also hated him.

    But as they climbed two levels, Qin Feng protected Jin Fei from harm and Jin Feng did not feel the kind of viciousness that was unique to Death itself from Qin Feng¡¯s facial expressions nor his bodynguage.

    The hatred in his heart would slowly fade, as would his fear but he still did not respect Qin Feng very much.

    He was feeling more surprised than anything.

    Qin Feng just smiled faintly. ¡°All you have to know is that I¡¯m strong!¡±

    He started to move forward again.

    This time, an aptitude user that managed to reach the 4th level suddenly jumped down toward the 3rd level!

    ¡°Look...¡±

    Jin Fei called out again.

    But the scene that soon followed made Jin Fei shut up.

    Qin Feng drew out the Verdant Emperor Saber and shed upward without any hesitation, mes burst out from the de as he swung.

    The internal strength was shattered the moment the de made contact and the person who came to intercept Qin Feng was chopped in half.

    There was no blood as the damage was instantly cauterized by the heat from the de.

    As the storm of destruction swirled around them, the two halves of the body were instantly disintegrated by the constantly churning winds.

    Qin Feng continued to press forward.

    3rd level, that was sixty meters!

    He just easily killed the three that tried to stop him.

    In Jin Fei¡¯s eyes, that was simply incredible.

    Not only that, everyone else on the tform was also taken aback.

    At this time, these ck-robed men gave off a chilling stare.

    They all had a bad feeling about him.

    By then, Qin Feng had reached the 4th level!

    With another jump forward, he would have reached the 5th level andpleted the first bet of bringing Jin Fei there. Of course, Jin Fei was still alive too.

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    ¡°Ignore that guy! Kill that E-tier!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe this! I¡¯ll kill you even if it¡¯s thest thing I do!¡±

    Some of the aptitude users were getting anxious!

 Chapter 438 - Charge Through The Secret Tower of Death

    <h4>Chapter 438: Charge Through The Secret Tower of Death</h4>

    They were all instructed by the ck-robed men to intercept Jin Fei, they did not expect that the three people that had tried would be killed by Qin Feng!

    Of course, now they saw that Qin Feng was not a force to mess with.

    So that meant they could only target Jin Fei.

    A group of aptitude users rushed forward, surrounding Qin Feng.

    Jin Fei was pale with fright. When attacked by a group of D-tiers, it would be impossible for him to fight back, he would not even get a chance to make a move.

    But he would soon find out that he was worrying too much!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was abnormally strong!

    Seven people attacked him, yet nobody could break through his defenses but when Qin Feng made a move, a person would lose their life.

    Since he was tied to Jin Fei, he was worried that the other would not be able to keep up with his speed. That was why he did not use any airhopping footworks nor did he use Dark Shadows.

    Hepletely took everyone head on!

    ¡°Fire Dragon!¡±

    With a roar, a huge fire dragon appeared out of thin air.

    The dragon spiraled around Qin Feng, whoever was too close was knocked away by it.

    The fire dragon was under Qin Feng¡¯s control, and unreasonably hard to get rid of. His consciousness was on the same level as a beast king¡¯s. The moment the fire dragon exploded, all seven people had their defenses shattered before the entanglement effect even took ce.

    Without hesitating, he raised his hand.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    All the seven were pulled toward Qin Feng, the internal force in their dantian flowed like water from a broken dam.

    ¡°Repulsion!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s body shuddered and sent everyone flying.

    Boom boom boom!

    Seven ancient warriors crashed onto the ground and died.

    It was not just that, since their bodies no longer had energy in them they were quickly eaten away by the destructive storm around them.

    Qin Feng kept on moving forward and was about to reach the 5th level but suddenly a wave of water rushed toward them.

    This time, Jin Fei was even more terrified.

    ¡°That¡¯s Zhao Miao, a D6-tier ability user, get out of the way before we get knocked off the tform!¡¯ Jin Fei eximed.

    On the Secret Tower of Death, jumping straight down definitely did not increase the speed of a person¡¯s descent. By the 20th floor, the terrifying destructive force would have reached a point where it was difficult toplete

    If someone were to rush straight toward the 25th floor, if they did not have enough strength to climb back up they might as well be dead.

    But Qin Feng abruptly grabbed Jin Fei¡¯s arm, and in the next moment, the wave crashed into both of them.

    As this was from top to bottom, the impacting force was very strong. They ended up crossing several hundred meters.

    When Qin Feng stood up again, he found himself standing on the 8th level in the blink of an eye!

    Not only did he just pass through the 5th level, he also went through two more additional levels and had be the first person to reach the 8th level.

    And it just so happened that the C-tier beast king crystal core that was rotated away had returned!

    With a twitch of his consciousness, Qin Feng plucked the core up and dragged it into his hands.

    After being grinded against the stairs and the wind, Qin Feng noticed that the core had be noticeably smaller and its energy was fading fast. If it were not for Qin Feng picking it up, then this item would have be even smaller and lost even more power.

    Qin Feng looked up, seeing the dumbfounded water ability user staring back at him.

    ¡°Thanks!¡±

    Qin Feng hoisted Jin Fei up and continued to move.

    The people behind him all stared daggers at Qin Feng, as he just took away what they were dreaming about.

    They started to pick up the pace, rushing downward as well.

    But Qin Feng was still taking things slow, even waiting a long time for the steps between the 8th and 9th level to align properly before descending.

    On the 9th level, there was a piece of material with D-tier king-level rarity. There was a lot of good loot on this level so Qin Feng would naturally clear it out!

    ¡°Wow, this is... good stuff!¡±

    ¡°Hmm. This is probably worth 40 billion.¡±

    ¡°The priceless Juntian Steel, this is rare!¡±

    Qin Feng was casually inspecting what he found, like he was at a supermarket.

    Jin Fei on the other hand kept looking left and right.

    ¡°Sir, sir, they¡¯reing, lets go!¡± Jin Fei urged.

    At first, he hated Qin Feng for dragging him down here. Now he was urging Qin Feng because he just wanted this to be over already.

    Qin Feng nodded and hopped down, stepping onto the 10th level!

    This was a new checkpoint.

    Jin Fei arriving here had increased the bet by ten fold.

    The ck-robed men started to be nervous. They checked their records and found no sign of anyone having bet that Jin Fei would reach there and suddenly felt relieved.

    The others who have ced their bets were starting to regret their decision. If only they had known number 177 was so incredible, and he was bringing number 444 along, they would have bet on him a long time ago!

    Qin Feng¡¯s speed increased, and the force around him was getting stronger and stronger.

    Whoosh!

    Some items were picked up by the storm and flung outward.

    The people in the Secret Tower of Death, due to the constant rotation of the tower, were soon separated by the moving tforms. They were also hoping that they would get lucky and have materials roll their way as well.

    But it was at this moment where the materials all seemed to roll back toward where Qin Feng was.

    ¡°That¡¯s consciousness maniption!¡±

    ¡°B*stard! How is his consciousness so strong?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t he only D-tier? He could even use runes while under the consciousness suppression of the Tower, and normally it would only reach tens of meters!¡±

    The others were puzzled by this.

    If it were someone else, ten meters of reach would be expected but Qin Feng was different.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness, even when suppressed, could reach up to one hundred meters.

    ¡°Lets kill him!¡±

    Everyone locked onto Qin Feng.

    ¡°Boss, run!¡±

    In his moments of terror and hopes of survival, Jin Fei had changed from despising Qin Feng to trusting him wholeheartedly for the sake of not dying.

    He did not even think that they would reach the 10th level of the tower.

    Qin Feng did not dy, bringing Jin Fei with him as he went down.

    11th, 12th, 13th...

    Qin Feng was picking up his pace!

    14th, 15th!

    When Qin Feng reached another checkpoint, the bet on Jin Fei had skyrocketed by fifty times, but nobody bet on him from the start!

    Now, those people would have to sit with regret in their bellies.

    The others who wanted to attack Qin Feng no longer tried to go forward.

    The 15th floor was essentially a whirlpool of horror!

    They would have to brace against that destructive energy and return from it. If they were not careful they would die on the spot.

    Moreover, among the five hundred people descending the tower. Half of them would never be able to withstand the 15th floor.

    They all hovered around the 10th floor, eyes shining with greed.

    ¡®Let him go and see how far he can get!¡¯

    ¡®It¡¯s way too early for a hard fight anyway!¡¯

    ¡®When 177thes back with the loot, I¡¯ll kill him and all the treasure will be mine!¡¯

    That was what went through most people¡¯s minds, giving up their chase but paying attention to him once in a while to see if he woulde back!

    Besides these people, there were some who had to descend.

    They were heavily betted on by the C-tier bosses. They were allckeys!

    So all they needed to do was reach a certain point in the tower.

    For a while, the people on the tower jumped down and marched on, the further forward, the fewer the numbers.

    Qin Feng was still moving forward. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the 20th level.

 Chapter 439 - Reaching the 30th Level

    <h4>Chapter 439: Reaching the 30th Level</h4>

    Qin Feng had someone with him, so he was not very fast. Other people did not have this burden and went forward with their fastest speed possible , their internal force shields were wildly flickering from their attempt.

    After all, the destructive force past the 20th level was no longer just a strong gust of wind but a hurricane!

    People with insufficient internal force would not be able to withstand it.

    Qin Feng stepped onto the 21st level.

    There was already someone waiting for him there and due to the difficulty of movement, they were ten meters apart.

    A treasure suddenly appeared in front of them.

    ¡°Mine!¡± The other shouted as he rushed forward to try and pick it up. However, the destructive storm around them made it hard for him to move his legs forward, he could barely put his foot down!

    As for Qin Feng, he just raised his hand and hooked the item out of the air and ced it into his spatial rune ring.

    Because his internal force was still actively protecting him, he was unlike everyone else. He brought spatial rune equipment and did not look like he had a scratch on him.

    The treasure disappeared in Qin Feng¡¯s hand and the opposing D-tier almost popped a blood vessel from sheer rage.

    ¡°Just you wait kid, you¡¯re dead!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m dead? How about I kill you first!¡±

    He did not hesitate and pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber, and the de of his weapon instantly expanded up to ten meters.

    At this time, the people who had been watching the battle from outside widened their eyes when they saw Qin Feng make his move.

    ¡°Is he crazy? He¡¯s still trying to fight?¡±

    ¡°If you don¡¯t umte enough energy toe back would you still have the heart to do it? If he keeps fighting, he¡¯ll definitely die!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s so naive!¡±

    They were still watching Qin Feng because he was carrying an E-tier.

    Jin Fei also wanted to remind Qin Feng but he was too fast!

    The de ignited before it pierced through the internal force of the ancient warrior.

    If having it broken outside was considered bad, then losing protection in the tower was a very bad thing.

    ¡°Iron Form!¡±

    The ancient warrior was shocked and immediately used his internal force, causing himself to glow with golden light.

    His entire reserve was blown away with a single strike, as the destructive storm scoured his body, patches of red began to appear on exposed skin!

    He turned and began to run.

    Originally, he nned to reach the 25th floor but he did not expect to be forced to reveal the ace up his sleeve already!

    However, Qin Feng did not intend on letting him go.

    A D5-tier ancient warrior was at least 5 clusters of internal force!

    ¡°You want to run?¡±

    In Qin Feng¡¯s hands, a thick ck smog was released.

    ¡°Dark Ray!¡±

    The energy struck the ancient warrior and their newyer of protection was shattered as well.

    In the blink of an eye, his body was shredded by the storm.

    Qin Feng hurriedly walked forward and activated Asteroid Assimtion in order to gather the scattered internal force and integrate it into his own.

    The other person quickly became a skeleton before that even disappeared and was broken down!

    As he kept moving, he also managed to pick up four to five new treasures with his consciousness to add to his hoard.

    ¡°A good haul!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction.

    Jin Fei looked like he was about to cry.

    ¡°Boss, this isn¡¯t how you¡¯re supposed to act in the tower. If you keep going like this we¡¯re going to die sooner orter. You must retain your internal force. If you really want to win the bet, we need to reach the 30th floor thene back. Going down is easy but getting back up is hard. There will be people trying to stop us at every turn and try to kill us. Now you¡¯ve used up all of your internal force, what¡¯s the point of fighting?¡±

    ¡°Heh.¡± Qin Feng did not think it mattered. In fact, his current strength might be D-tier but he was not hindered by his environment. If people tried to fight him, he naturally would not run out of energy either.

    Since there were people already keeping their eyes on him, he assumed that they were going to have a go at him sooner orter.

    ¡°Bai Li, could wee back if this ce closes?¡± Qin Feng immediately asked Bai Li.

    ¡°Of course!¡± Bai Li replied with rity.

    Other people used spatial teleportation. While space was stable around them, they would cause detectable spatial fluctuations. Bai Li¡¯s control over space was very much different!

    ¡°That¡¯s good!¡±

    In that case, there was no need to trifle with other people!

    Qin Feng sped up again.

    It was only three hundred meters forward in order to reach the 30th floor, but it was difficult under the destructive storm around them as internal force was getting quickly consumed.

    He had reached the 25th floor.

    As he went further down, his face grew serious. His internal force was being quickly consumed, he had already lost one cluster of it!

    The supplements he got from killing the others were starting to rapidly decrease as well.

    But it was enough.

    Qin Feng elerated, his speed increasing even more!

    26th level...

    His internal force protection began to ripple.

    27th level...

    A C-tier beast emperor crystal core appeared and was pocketed by him.

    28th level...

    29th level...

    Among the ck-rboed men, some of their expressions fell.

    They snickered at Bai Li¡¯s 10 billion bet before but now it seemed like it was going to be true!

    Four hundred times the amount.

    If Qin Feng actually came back with Jin Fei, they would have to pay 4 trillion!

    That was terrifying. That was enough money to start a war.

    ¡°Pap!¡±

    Qin Fengnded on the 30th level!

    Everyone kicked up an uproar.

    ¡°There! He¡¯s there!¡±

    ¡°Damn, who bet 10 billion?¡±

    ¡°That woman, she was with number 177!¡±

    Just as people were beginning to talk, Qin Feng was already making his way back up.

    The wind swept over him, as if trying to drag him down.

    Internal force was being quickly consumed, and in the blink of an eye. More than 40 internal force clusters had been consumed!

    Fortunately he had absorbed internal force from before, at the moment his internal force had 20 clusters remaining.

    That was enough to make it back!

    Qin Feng rapidly began to ascend. The higher he got, the less energy he had to use.

    After reaching the 20th floor, he ran into an ancient warrior!

    He raised his hand without hesitation.

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡±

    The opponent¡¯s internal force was suddenly corroded away. The moment their protection was shattered, Qin Feng was already in front of them, raising his hand to grab them.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Internal force was quickly restored.

    The opponent gasped as he was turned into an ordinary person in a moment¡¯s notice before he died with his eyes still open.

    The equipment he had on his person was also taken away by Qin Feng before moving forward.

    The higher he got, the more people he had to face. They were being cautious as they were afraid of Qin Feng¡¯s strength.

    ¡°Go at him together, he shouldn¡¯t have much internal force left!¡±

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    ¡°Kill him! He¡¯s basically a walking treasure chest!¡±

    Greed moved people¡¯s hearts! Amon man¡¯s crime was to carry jade!

    These people all came at once. This was the entirety of the 12th level.

    One ability user was the first to attack.

    ¡°Water Dragon Technique!¡¯

    A wave of water washed toward them, the dragon that was produced by this ability user had the thickness of a water bucket. It was more than ten meters in length, blocking Qin Feng¡¯s advance and retreat.

    This dragon was tiny, no different from a snake!

    ¡°Boss, kill him, Zhao Miao attacked usst time!¡± Jin Fei cried out with excitement.

    He did not even think about reaching the 30th level, he was over the moon. That was because Qin Feng had promised him 1% of the profit!

    1% of 4 trillion was 40 billion!

    He was going to be rich!

 Chapter 440 - Offending Everyone

    <h4>Chapter 440: Offending Everyone</h4>

    Jin Fei had already put blind faith onto Qin Feng. At this time, there were ability users who wanted to kill the two and take their treasures away. Jin Fei thought that his tragic existence of neen years would end just like that.

    If he was not strong enough, he could not protect his own loot.

    If he were strong, he could be like Qin Feng, the power to take on even the gods!

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was surrounded by ayer of fire before it was spread out.

    In an instant, the water dragon was repelled and turned into a thick cloud of mist, quickly dissipating.

    He raised a hand toward Zhao Miao¡¯s direction and directed a palm at him.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    Snap!

    A D-tier emperor level internal force, an explosive energy that erupted from the body, was something that these people could not defend against!

    Before, Qin Feng did not want to pay attention to him but now he was not going to show mercy.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    He instantly killed Zhao Miao and took another step forward.

    More than a dozen people started to charge at him.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Internal force billowed wildly as he regained his strength.

    All of his attackers were in again!

    Their surroundings were drenched in blood. Qin Feng¡¯s cold face, devoid of mercy, was thest thing that his attackers saw on this bloody battlefield.

    Death! Death! Death!

    When he moved forward again, everyone who attacked him was sent fatally crashing into the ground.

    It was then that people realized how terrifying Qin Feng was and fear gripped their hearts.

    ¡°Run! Run away!¡±

    There were some that did not want to get attacked by Qin Feng!

    Qin Feng let out a chillingugh. ¡°Do you really think I¡¯ll let you go?¡±

    These people wanted to escape but Qin Feng did not allow it!

    He raised his hand and his consciousness burst out.

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    Boom!

    The floor turned intova in the blink of an eye, wrapping around hundreds of people that were standing on it.

    ¡°Gyaaah!¡±

    They could not fly in the destructive storm. When they stepped into Qin Feng¡¯s magma, they could only use their internal force and runes to resist it, but soon found out that his magma was much worse than the storm around them!

    These people began struggling in the magma. In just a few seconds, they fell into it!

    ¡°Store!¡±

    Arge number of treasures fell into Qin Feng¡¯s hands. Not only that, this time, he had killed hundreds of people.

    He moved forward again.

    5th level!

    The exit was not too far away now.

    Qin Feng continued to go up and reached the edge of the first floor.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Feng pulled out the silk of the Steel-limbed Broodmother Queen and enveloped Jin Fei in internal force before suddenly pushing him!

    ¡°Aaaah!¡±

    Jin Fei was not sure if that was fear or excitement that he let out along the way, but his legs were weak. With such a push, Qin Feng directly pushed him upward and only after two steps he rolled onto the ground and returned to the audience¡¯s position.

    That meant that he was safe.

    Not only that, Bai Li won her bet.

    Four hundred times the amount.

    4 trillion!

    The ck-robed men were staring at Jin Fei, wishing to kill him.

    Bai Li moved forward, there was a faint silver light surrounding her that seemed to iste the surrounding air. Jin Fei originally felt a huge force envelop him, but now there was nothing left.

    Bai Li stood beside him, defending Jin Fei.

    When Jin Fei saw Bai Li, he immediately knew that she was the one who dragged him forward just now, but he did not dare say a word and tried to make himself as invisible as possible, following behind her.

    ¡®I¡¯m just not sure if she¡¯s as strong as that sir just now.¡¯

    He soon realized that Qin Feng had note out yet.

    Not only did Qin Feng not climb up, he also walked two steps away from the 1st level. The wind around him was still there but it was not very strong and he suddenly stopped moving!

    Behind him, a pair of ming blue peacock wings appeared.

    He began to float, the steps under his feet rotated but he remained in his position.

    The onlookers had no idea what Qin Feng was doing.

    But they were about to very soon!

    ¡°Look! Hu Yuan managed to make it to the 25th level and ising back! The bet¡¯s went up 30 times, Boss Ren¡¯s made a fortune and he¡¯s made Hu Yuan 100 billion!¡±

    Hu Yuan was strong, a D-tier aptitude user. Somewhere along the lines of a D5-tier.

    He immediately began to pull back the moment he stepped onto the 25th level, it was a pity that all of the treasures were taken by Qin Feng.

    That was why he did not stop and returned up the way he came. As the steps rotated, he kept changing positions and would soon reach the entrance.

    That was where Qin Feng was floating.

    Hu Yuan suddenly realized what was going on, but unfortunately it was toote.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng raised a hand and sent out a Firebeam.

    Hu Yuan was not like Qin Feng, he had to prepare elixirs and other rare materials before he could go to the tower. He only descended 25th floors, which almost had him reach the limit of his abilities and exhausted most of his internal force.

    Qin Feng immediately pierced through Hu Yuan¡¯s internal force with his attack and he died in the blink of an eye under thebined force of the Firebeam and the destructive storm.

    In the area where the audience was, voices of the crowd abruptly stopped and Boss Ren, the man brought up before, had a pale face.

    Originally, he was going to get 3 trillion but that had been ruined.

    He could not believe this.

    ¡°Who the hell is this person? How dare he not hold me with regard. I¡¯m going to tear him into pieces!¡±

    Boss Ren was naturally furious.

    Qin Feng did not care, still floating in ce.

    Half an hour passed by in the blink of an eye, there were four hundred fifty people to begin with, two hundred were in in the midst of fighting over treasures and slip ups and Qin Feng killed up to one hundred people.

    There were still more than one hundred people in the Secret Tower of Death. These were all D-tiers, and had alreadypleted their goals. They were not nning on continuing and were starting to turn back!

    But now they were faced with another problem.

    Qin Feng.

    He blocked the area closest to the entrance.

    Hu Yuan died just now. They could not imagine what would happen to them if they approached.

    As such, everyone gradually gathered together but there was not much time left for them!

    If they were to consume too much of their internal force or consciousness, they were going to die if they stayed there!

    ¡°Screw it, we charge. I don¡¯t believe he¡¯s going to kill all of us!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t be arrogant, boy! We¡¯re all working for C-tier big bosses, if you kill us, you¡¯ll regret it!¡±

    ¡°Outta the way!¡±

    Everyone stared at Qin Feng in anger.

    Qin Feng did not care.

    ¡°Today, I¡¯m not letting anyone pass!¡± Heughed frostily.

    ¡°Everyone. Group up and waste him!¡±

    All of them charged toward him, but their fate was no different from those who tried to stop him before.

    The entire army ended up getting decimated!

    Qin Feng was not letting anyone go!

    Although it was said that the Secret Tower of Death would probably kill all ten out of ten people who entered it, it had never been as tragic as today. Those who did not dare fight Qin Feng eventually died of energy exhaustion.

    Now, there were only two surviving people in the tower!

    Qin Feng and Jin Fei.

    Whoosh!

    Qin Feng hopped out of the tower and arrived in a safe ce.

    At this time, all the C-tiers were ring at Qin Feng!

    The first time in the Secret Tower of Death and he had managed to offend every bigwig present!

 Chapter 441 - Taking In Jin Fei

    <h4>Chapter 441: Taking In Jin Fei</h4>

    If intense stares could kill a person, Qin Feng would have died a hundred times over.

    Qin Feng turned a blind eye to everyone around him!

    ¡°It¡¯s over already! Bai Li, im your bet!¡±

    Bai Li, Qin Feng, with Jin Fei in tow, all walked toward the ck-robed men.

    No one else moved. The audience was silent.

    Jin Fei did not even dare speak, his lips were pursed and his face was pale with fright.

    The ck-robed men gave the signal that it was time to im their bets, but everyone present knew that there was only one winner.

    It was Bai Li, or more like it was Qin Feng, the one who was behind it all!

    They were given four veryrge rings. The rings contained space up to 100 cubic meters with energy credits neatly stacked inside.

    It was exactly 4 trillion!

    ¡°Congrattions,¡± one of the ck-robed men spoke with a mild mannered tone, but peered searchingly at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Young people have a bright future!¡±

    That was merely admiration. It did not mean anything else.

    Originally, if Qin Feng had gained the money, the forces of the City of Death¡¯s duke would be definitely angry at him, but in the end, everything turned out differently.

    The reason being that he had killed everyone!

    Therefore, the money of these C-tier bosses were all lost.

    They had invested hundreds of billions. With so many people participating, the amount of money umted was shocking.

    10 trillion!

    And Qin Feng had only just won 4 trillion, but it could be said that the ck-robed men had also earned a lot.

    Remembering that Qin Feng had the ability to take on C-tiers, the ck-robed men understood his approach.

    He was not trying to pull the teeth from a tiger¡¯s mouth, but was being selective and careful. He sabotaged the C-tiers without tipping the city duke¡¯s scales.

    The duke of the city was a B-tier and Qin Feng did not want to provoke him, but it was impossible for other people topete against him.

    Cunning, courageous and powerful!

    Qin Feng had onlye to the Secret Tower of Death once and it was already impressive!

    Of course, this matter would not end there. Whatever kind of revenge that would be taken out on Qin Feng depended on the C-tier.

    It was impossible to say who could kill you.

    ¡°The tower has ended, do the others not want to im their bets?¡±

    After these words, other people finally began to move. There were some C-tiers who had bet on Jin Fei and some D-tiers who put their bets on Qin Feng after hearing the news.

    But the money they received was very little, they all collectively only took away 800 billion! The rest of the money was taken away by the ck-robed men!

    The Secret Tower of Death had officially ended!

    The spatial passage was opened up by the ck-robed men!

    This time, the C-tiers did not take the lead, but instead stared at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not care. He held Bai Li¡¯s hand with his left and dragged Jin Fei forward by the sleeve of his shirt with the other.

    Whoosh!

    With a bright sh of silver light, Qin Feng disappeared into the spatial passage.

    ¡°That person needs to die!¡±

    A C-tier mmed his fist into his chair¡¯s armrest, causing the solid wood to instantly shatter.

    Other people were equally angry.

    ¡°Everyone, please leave first. You may settle your grievances at your own time!¡± One of the ck-robed men spoke up.

    These C-tier bosses knew that Qin Feng had offended them today but did not offend the City of Death¡¯s duke and even actually aided the other party.

    Simply despicable!

    However, these people had no choice but to get up and leave.

    When they left the passage, Qin Feng, Bai Li and Jin Fei naturally disappeared.

    In a secluded dark corner, with dark runes enveloping them, nobody would be able to find Qin Feng and the other two.

    He took out a spatial ring and released four cubic meters of energy credits in front of Jin Fei.

    40 billion!

    ¡°Right, I¡¯d said it before. All of these are yours!¡± Qin Feng said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about people seeing us, I have sealed away vision with my dark ability. Of course, the way forward is your own!¡±

    Jin Fei was breathing heavily, and his heart was beating so fast that it could crack his ribcage.

    He did not know what to think, maybe he had too many thoughts, but his mind waspletely nk.

    It happened very suddenly, Jin Fei stirred and knelt on the ground with a thump.

    ¡°Sir, I don¡¯t want this money. I hope I can stay with you and be your apprentice!¡±

    It was normal to learn from a master in the City of Death, they did not have academies for it after all. Ancient martial arts was usually taught in martial arts halls but apprenticeship required a lot of money and there were many ces that were just frauds.

    But Jin Fei knew that Qin Feng was not a fraud.

    ¡°You have money. You can do whatever you want!¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t keep the money! Those big guys would definitely not let me go!¡± Jin Fei said.

    That was a fact!

    Even so, Qin Feng believed that Jin Fei could do better.

    However, if the future King of Killers wanted to be his apprentice then it was kind of a good thing, Qin Feng would not reject him!

    Jin Fei had lived in the City of Death since he was a child. He had his own rules of survival and when he saw a chance, he would cling to it with a deathgrip. Qin Feng¡¯s appearance had changed the path of his original fate!

    There was no doubt that this was a great opportunity for Jin Fei.

    His gaze was firm, even if he had to risk his life, he would do it.

    ¡°Please, Sir. I¡¯m begging you!¡±

    ¡°Get up!¡± Qin Feng reached out with a hand and hoisted Jin Fei up.

    Jin Fei¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up.

    ¡°So you¡¯ve agreed then? Then let this disciple bow to his master one more time!¡±

    Jin Fei was about to kneel again but Qin Feng pulled him up.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything about taking you as my disciple, I¡¯m younger than you!¡± At this point, the only excuse that existed in Qin Feng¡¯s quiver was his age!

    Jin Fei was taken aback.

    Whether it was height or looks, Qin Feng had a mature look on his face. Probably not any older than Jin Fei. The most important thing was that Qin Feng was way too strong!

    ¡°I can take you into my mercenary troop, but you don¡¯t have an identity in the outside world so we¡¯ll discuss that when we get there!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Jin Fei trembled all over when he heard that. ¡°Get there? Me? I can go out, leave the City of Death?¡±

    ¡°Of course. The strong can travel the world!¡± Qin Feng said matter-of-factly.

    Jin Fei was shocked to his core at those words, they resounded through his mind like an echo, or an earthquake.

    His state of mind suddenly increased, reaching a new height as the shackles of the City of Death werepletely removed.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Okay, Boss!¡± Jin Fei followed behind Qin Feng, who took out the Silver Bolt. Jin Fei did not know how to drive, so he had to sit in the back.

    Although his mood had improved, he was still a little bit envious, like a child looking at someone with new toys.

    The hovercar quickly sped to the vi area and Qin Feng returned to Liu Dong¡¯s vi. By now, the door¡¯s been repaired and there were a group of maids waiting outside.

    ¡°Wee home, Sir!¡± The women said in unison.

    Jin Fei was blocked from entering.

    Qin Feng furrowed his brow and waved his hand, ¡°Scatter. All of you!¡±

    These women anxiously moved away, and Jin Fei was looking in all directions.

 Chapter 442 - Returning Once Again

    <h4>Chapter 442: Returning Once Again</h4>

    Jin Fei quickly frowned.

    He whispered, ¡°Boss, why are you here? You offended so many C-tiers and this person lives in such a remote ce. His strength shouldn¡¯t be considered very strong, right?¡±

    The City of Death had a strict hierarchy, and only C-tiers could live in vis.

    Jin Fei recognized C-tiers from the first nce and remembered their faces, but he had never known the locations of where they lived.

    After all, he could note here. If he were found, he would definitely be killed!

    Qin Feng replied, ¡°No, this is my vi now!¡±

    Jin Fei was surprised.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t vis only exclusively meant for C-tier big bosses?¡±

    ¡°Well, the previous owner was indeed a C-tier!¡± Qin Feng had a faint smile on.

    ¡°Then, is he your friend?¡± Even if that was the case, it was still impossible to fix the amount of trouble Qin Feng was in right now!

    Qin Feng obviously did not care. ¡°No, I killed him!¡±

    Jin Fei was speechless.

    The conversation carried on to other things as the two walked into the vi. It was very spacious and luxurious and Jin Fei had noticed it from the outside.

    Even if Jin Fei was an E-tier now, he was still alive because he was cautious. When in the City of Death, unless one had a properwork of eyes, ears and hands, they could die at any time.

    ¡°Boss, the one who died, it couldn¡¯t be Liu Dong could it?¡± Jin Fei¡¯s mind raced as he recalled what happened yesterday.

    Several of Liu Dong¡¯s men died in an alley and in the end Liu Dong himself was killed by a newly arrived D-tier!

    A D-tier killing a C-tier, something like that was horrifying news, yet equally exciting.

    It was an event that defied the established order of things.

    ¡°Yes it is!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    With that affirmation, Jin Fei became excited all over but he quickly cooled down and became nervous.

    ¡°Boss, even if you could kill Liu Dong, it would be best not to stay in the City of Death. Earning this bit of money should be enough and it¡¯s better if we leave!¡±

    Leaving the capital with that much money would still leave them with plenty of it to squander!

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everything will be handled by tonight!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Jin Fei still had questions but Qin Feng did not feel like continuing the conversation. He arranged a room for Jin Fei and went to the practice room, sitting down cross-legged.

    He killed too many people today!

    Now, Qin Feng¡¯s dantian was already full of clusters of internal force! Fortunately, he had enough clusters already. These newly added clusters could not be moved yet.

    He killed more than two hundred people today. Among them, only a dozen were ability users but there were a whole slew of ancient warriors. In the end, he did not even get to absorb their internal force.

    His entire dantian was filled up already!

    ¡°Ability, Consume!¡±

    The clusters of internal energy in his dantian began to flow out, passing into the meridians and widening them while some seeped into his consciousness and flowed back in.

    His internal force surged again.

    70 clusters of internal energy!

    This number was alreadyparable to a C7-tier ancient warrior!

    After stabilizing his turbulent internal force, Qin Feng checked his earnings for today.

    There were many things! None of them were cheap!

    Having hunted down and killing everyone and almost getting 10 trillion could be considered as a good haul. He also remembered that there were still plenty of things that he had not cleaned out from the tower.

    Those were the most valuable!

    Even if the event was over, Qin Feng was not sure if the people in charge had left, so it was not convenient to enact his n just yet.

    Meanwhile, somewhere else, there were a group of people gathered around one another.

    They were all C-tiers.

    ¡°This Qin Feng¡¯s got an extensive background!¡±

    ¡°Definitely not a weakling!¡±

    ¡°Has everyone finished thinking about it? Sending some D-tiers to him would just end up with them being killed. We need to take action!¡±

    ¡°He killed Liu Dong. In order to make this foolproof we need to send some more!¡±

    ¡°Right!¡±

    After going over their ns, everyone decided that tonight was the best time to strike.

    Time passed by very quickly. It was different from Longchuan City, but it was summer back then and it would be a long time before it was dark, but in the City of Death, it was dark out by 4 o¡¯clock.

    Night hade.

    Qin Feng walked out of the practice room.

    ¡°Bai Li. Lets go!¡± He said.

    Bai Li¡¯s eyes lit up in that instant and she said, ¡°We¡¯re going to look for treasures?¡±

    Whatever Qin Feng called treasure were definitely good things. It seemed that Bai Li had also sensed that there were good things inside the Secret Tower of Death, and those were not the items that Qin Feng had received. Those were just damaged D-tier and C-tier materials.

    Qin Feng originally wanted to go somewhere else, but after hearing Bai Li¡¯s words he asked, ¡°Can you feel if there¡¯s anyone still in that space? Or if they have any ce to monitor it?¡±

    Bai Li shook her head. ¡°No one¡¯s there. The ce we were at today was a connected space. Uh, how do I put this...¡± She gestured, trying to describe it, ¡°The ce people go to before they enter the Secret Tower of Death and the Secret Tower of Death itself are two different spaces. That space is floating, but only when the tower opens a spatial passage would it be connected to that small patch of space. Now that the space is gone, that means that nobody¡¯s there!¡±

    Qin Feng had not really understood how space worked, but so long as nobody was there to pass on the news to the city duke then everything would be fine!

    ¡°Then, let¡¯s go now!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Bai Li nodded quickly and with a sh of silver light, a spatial passage appeared.

    Qin Fen and Bai Li stepped in.

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng stepped into the Secret Tower of Death again.

    Since afternoon, the destructive storm around the tower had be even wilder.

    The safe space where the audience was before had disappeared and it seemed that the ashes and trash in the area were gone as well, destroyed by the storm.

    There were still some things being tossed around in the gale and were under the threat of total destruction under the constant rotation. These things emitted powerful energy and even Qin Feng did not have a name for some of them.

    ¡°Go. I can¡¯t move from here or else the storm will get stronger!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Qin Feng did not hesitate as he wrapped internal force around himself. His power had doubled since hest entered the tower and his consumption rate had been reduced. His feet suddenly moved!

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    Hroar...

    The hurricane that he rushed into seemed to carry with it the roar of a dragon.

    He was met with huge resistance, as if being blocked by a powerful repelling force, but his body was as solid as stone, his strength infinite and his feet moving quickly, carrying him past ten levels in the blink of an eye!

    20th level!

    30th level!

    40th level!

    Within half a minute, he had reached the 45th level!

    This was already the center of the storm and things were flying around him.

    ¡°Here!¡±

    Qin Feng locked onto an object. It seemed so familiar!

    ¡°Dawnstar!¡±

    The forever indestructible dawnstar!

    Then his consciousness abruptly spread out.

    ¡°Eversun Steel? Geo Heart? And this...this is Hongmeng fruit?¡±

    These things could not be measured by the standards of this Earth, the strongest ones would be ced as S-tier.

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart was moved and he grabbed everything he could!

 Chapter 443 - God Weaponâ€™s Birth

    <h4>Chapter 443: God Weapon¡¯s Birth</h4>

    Soon, some of the valuable things were taken away by Qin Feng but there were some things that were worthless to him that could not be scattered by the wind.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    His ability surged, and he found that he could not absorb any energy from these items either.

    They really were worthless.

    That was good, if these things were left behind then maybe people would not notice what could have gone missing.

    Qin Feng stretched his consciousness to its maximum as he grasped onto everything useful within his range and in the blink of an eye, everything valuable had been taken!

    At this time, even 70 clusters of internal force could not handle this destructive storm.

    He had to retreat.

    Even with the storm in the way, he still managed to cross that one hundred meters and make it back to the starting point.

    He sat down cross-legged. His internal force consumption had been reduced and the storm here could not do much against his protection.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s current meridians were very wide. Although he spent a short time cultivating his internal force, he could use his absorption ability to great effect in channeling internal force through his meridians!

    At this time, his meridians were like wide water canals, allowing internal force to continuously flow and restore the energy missing in his dantian.

    After running the process for five minutes, all 70 clusters of Qin Feng¡¯s internal force were restored.

    Moreover, he discovered that most of the contenders here were normal aptitude users. There were no gunners, few ability users and a whole load of ancient warriors. That was because the destructive storm here was beneficial in strengthening the sturdiness of one¡¯s internal force protection.

    But this effect was not useful for Qin Feng.

    ¡°Looks like the absorption ability is better than this storm!¡±

    Qin Feng did not stop, and once he was recharged he immediately rushed back down.

    Rinse and repeat, he collected all manner of items.

    The value of these things were not very high but after the world ended, with the wilderness spreading all over the ce, it was inconvenient to spread out goods.

    Like how the tear flower, once ced in Shadong Town, fixed the issues in the North Sea Desert, whereas several years ago, Shadong Town was rebuilt four to five times and nobody wanted to deal with solving the issues.

    For them, it was unrealistic.

    Only Qin Feng could have done it.

    Now, when he wanted something, he would have to go to the ends of the Earth in order to get it.

    ¡°Hoo!¡± Qin Feng returned again. At this point, there was nothing valuable left for him. Everything else was hard material that the wind was not able to destroy.

    ¡°Lets go Bai Li!¡±

    ¡°Okay, but I want that fruit!¡± Bai Li pointed at the Hongmeng fruit.

    ¡°Sure!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, Bai Li was in the lead here. Whatever she wanted, he would not be stingy about it.

    Back in the practice room, Qin Feng took out everything, including the Hongmeng fruit.

    This fruit was very powerful, at least in A-tier. There was a moment where Qin Feng frowned when he inspected the fruit.

    The color seemed off.

    ¡°This fruit is poisonous?¡± He felt that this Hongmeng fruit was already dead, the insides were clouded with the dark air of death.

    Bai Li inspected it as well and said, ¡°I know, but the core is intact and can be eaten!¡±

    The Hongmeng fruit was barely the size of a fist, but it could survive the destructive storm. In fact it was very hard.

    It would take more than just violence to break it open but Bai Li was different.

    With a sh of silver light, the Hongmeng fruit split open and revealed its rotting flesh and its core.

    It looked like an almond and released a fresh fragrance once revealed. Qin Feng felt as if the surrounding air quality had improved.

    ¡°The seed of the Hongmeng fruit?¡±

    ¡°Yes! If you want it, you can nt it but it may not germinate. Inheritance memory tells me that it would take up to a hundred thousand years of cultivating it before a Hongmeng tree can bear fruit!¡± Bai Li said.

    Qin Feng suppressed hisugh after seeing the craving expression on Bai Li¡¯s face, she was almost drooling from the corner of her mouth!

    ¡°You eat it. It¡¯s just a seed. Don¡¯t talk about a hundred thousand years, I can¡¯t even live up to ten thousand years!¡± He passed the seed over to Bai Li.

    The level of the Hongmeng fruit was as high as S-tier, but now that its flesh was gone its value would have dropped by a lot. Qin Feng was not sure by how much though.

    But it was still something good to have!

    Bai Li chewed on it for a moment before swallowing and muttered, ¡°You¡¯ve already signed a contract with me, naturally our lives are shared. You can live as long as you want!¡±

    Qin Feng was taken aback, then patted Bai Li¡¯s head.

    ¡°But we¡¯re equals in this contract. If you want to leave, you can do it at any time!¡±

    ¡°What are you talking about? How could I leave?¡±

    Bai Li stared at Qin Feng incredulously.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you have other pets and don¡¯t want me anymore!¡¯

    ¡°What, and what?¡± Qin Feng smiled helplessly, feeling the weight of the topic. Bai Li was getting stronger and stronger, while his speed of growth was not increasing. It was not that simple to achieve perfect progress.

    He had also be more stressed out recently.

    Not from strong enemies after his rebirth, but from Bai Li¡¯s perfect bloodline.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s see if there¡¯s any more treasures to use!¡±

    Qin Feng quickly changed the subject and picked up some of the objects he had obtained to inspect.

    There were not many of them and a lot had lost their effects, they were not very big in volume either.

    But these things were rare sights. Not even money would be enough to obtain them.

    Qin Feng took out the Magical Tesseract.

    Then, he put the Verdant Emperor Saber into it again.

    The weapon was powerful, but as Qin Feng got stronger, the weapon would eventually reach its limitations.

    ¡°Sun steel!¡±

    He put in a huge amount of ore, but it was not what he had obtained in the Secret Tower of Death. Instead, he had gotten this from trading with Lu Wanbao in Shadong Town.

    The sun steel fell into the Tesseract and merged with the Verdant Emperor Saber. The lower level materials that were fused with the weapon were all expelled.

    As it fused, the saber changed in the blink of an eye.

    The feathers of the Blue me Peacock Emperor were not suitable for a sharp weapon like the saber and as the sun steel fused into the weapon, it changed from blue to a purplish tone!

    Qin Feng continued to add in more materials.

    Dawnstar, sharp iron, crystal-bond bone!

    Most of the items obtained today were integrated into the weapon and the Verdant Emperor Saber constantly shifted.

    Since there was not any material above C-tier, the strength of the Verdant Emperor Saber did not advance, so it was still a D-tier but it had far surpassed the power of the weapons made by D-tier beast emperor materials.

    And gods were above emperors.

    A God¡¯s weapon!

    ¡°Hum!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber trembled and no longer merged with anything. It seemed extremely sturdy and stable, and not only that it gleamed with a fuchsia light and exuded a dangerous aura.

    Fortunately it was inside the Magical Tesseract, otherwise it would have been found out by countless people who would try to take it for themselves.

    A beam of very condensed fuchsia light suddenly appeared!

 Chapter 444 - Qin Feng Struck First

    <h4>Chapter 444: Qin Feng Struck First</h4>

    ¡°It¡¯s done!¡± Qin Feng could hardly hold back his excitement.

    He had just constructed a weapon that he would never even dream of owning in his past life.

    This would not be made possible if he did not have Magical Tesseract and the massive loot he pulled out from the storm.

    Qin Feng infused his consciousness into the Tesseract and took control of the Verdant Emperor Saber. The radiating purple radiance shrunk gradually and finally disappeared from the saber¡¯s surface.

    He then drew the saber out from the Magical Tesseract using his consciousness.

    Since the new Verdant Emperor Saber was constructed out from the Tesseract, there was not any sign of human modification on it. The usual glow or the gold color of king-tier runic equipment could not be found on the newly forged weapon.

    Instead, the saber became broader and longer, and the blue me pattern on it was now reced by a fuchsia glimmer.

    Qin Feng fed the saber with his inner power, which caused it to burn brightly.

    Other than me, Qin Feng could also see ayer of beam emanating from the saber.

    He swung it and the fuchsia beam from the saber instantly destroyed one of the Trial Stones in Liu Dong¡¯s vi. The stone was used to test inner power and was known for its sturdiness.

    It was smashed with a single strike from the saber.

    ¡°Great stuff!¡± Qin Feng held the saber and could not wait to test it in a real battle.

    ¡°I can sense that you are thirsty for blood!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s bloodlust was overflowing too.

    Qin Feng knew that what Jin Fei said today had certain truths in it. The amount of loot he plundered from this city today was equivalent to the reward of participating in a lethal war in the outside world.

    Every C-tier aptitude user in this city would not sit well with him after what happened. Naturally, Qin Feng viewed them as dangerous enemies as well.

    The one who strikes first would have the upper hand in this situation. Moreover, the best method to develop quickly is through Asteroid Assimtion.

    Qin Feng could not just go and randomly kill people in the territories of the Human Alliance. However, there was no such constraint in the Dark Coalition territories.

    ¡®Kill!¡¯

    ¡°Bai Li, stay here. If anyone is here for trouble, just kill them.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Bai Li answered and yawned. The energy from the Hongmeng fruit was very satisfying and made Bai Li a little drowsy. Still, a few C-tiers would not trouble Bai Li even when she was in such a condition.

    Qin Feng camouged himself in dark runes and disappeared into the night.

    The City of Death was only of moderate size. Though there were a lot of vi residences scattered around the city, it was all within the touch of Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness. After all, his consciousness was of emperor level. Qin Feng expanded his consciousness and quickly found his first target¡ªMaster Cheng who sent people to provoke them yesterday.

    At the Secret Tower of Death, Master Cheng sent five people up to the arena in an attempt to kill Qin Feng. In the end, they all perished in Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    Master Cheng definitely took it personally. He was probably the one who wanted to kill Qin Feng the most in this city.

    In fact, he had plotted to assault Qin Feng with others this very same day and they had decided to execute it at 1 am.

    Right now, Master Cheng was training in the gym of his own vi.

    Qin Feng¡¯s prowess made him feel threatened and it brought him out of his ck.

    Master Cheng¡¯s ce was the nearest to Qin Feng¡¯s vi. There were a few guards at the door. To Qin Feng, these people were nothing but pools of internal force waiting to be harvested.

    Dark Shadow!

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng transformed into a silhouette and appeared behind one of the D-tier ancient warriors.

    The person did not realize the approaching danger and did not have his internal force shield around him.

    Qin Feng did not even need to infuse the Verdant Emperor Saber with his internal power. He killed the ancient warrior with brute force.

    Poof!

    In just a single pop, a D-tier with the position being hailed by many was put down just like that.

    Asteroid Assimtion!

    The internal energy of the D-tier was immediately transferred into Qin Feng¡¯s dantian.

    Dark Erosion!

    Qin Feng used the dark ability and eroded the ancient warrior¡¯s corpse into a puddle of water that evaporated quickly.

    Qin Feng collected the spatial rune ring and walked forward.

    Master Cheng was much stronger than Liu Dong. He had at least more than thirty underlings. But he lost five men at the tower while some were sent out to run errands. That left only ten patrols to guard the vi at the moment.

    Of course, only nine remained now.

    Qin Feng made little noise and exterminated all the remaining guards in less than ten minutes.

    Inside the vi, the ordinary ves did not realize Qin Feng¡¯s arrival at all.

    He moved inside the vi unnoticed and stood in front of the gym, where Master Cheng was at.

    Dark ability spread from him and drowsed Master Cheng inside the gym.

    Qin Feng promptly broke into the room and struck straight at Master Cheng.

    Master Cheng came to his senses and subconsciously burst forth with internal power. An internal force shield quickly wrapped around his body.

    Crack!

    The solid internal force shield of the C-tier fighter was shattered easily by Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°You!!¡± Master Cheng was baffled to find Qin Feng in his house.

    After all, he had nned to ambush Qin Feng with other C-tierster in the night. Little did he know that Qin Feng had nned to do exactly the same thing.

    ¡°Surprise?¡± Qin Feng smirked but did not stop his attack.

    A purple ray exploded from the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Poof!

    The purple ray instantly perforated Master Cheng¡¯s heart.

    If Master Cheng had Qin Feng¡¯s physique, then the ray probably would only bruise his skin. Unfortunately for him, he did not have that level and endurance and was thus prated.

    This showcased the obscurity of the newly forged saber.

    Qin Feng took a step forward and pressed his hand on Master Cheng¡¯s dantian.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    His inner strength flew rapidly into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Master Cheng was a C2-tier ancient warrior so he had tworge pools of internal power in his dantian. These pools turned into at least twenty clusters and fully filled Qin Feng¡¯s dantian.

    Bang!

    Master Cheng¡¯s body dropped to the ground.

    Qin Feng flicked his finger and Hellfire immediately ignited on the body and burned his body away.

    Again, he picked up the spatial equipment but did not immediately leave the scene. Instead, he got into his meditation posture.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng circted the newly acquired internal power through his meridian and recycled it back into his dantian. After several cycles, his internal strength was vastly improved. He left the vi in satisfaction after digesting the internal power.

    The next target, he reckoned, should be Master Ren. His hatred toward Qin Feng probably came second after Master Cheng because Qin Feng had also killed his underling today and denied him the 1 trillion.

    In the dark, Qin Feng infiltrated Master Ren¡¯s house in the same way and finished him off without much hindrance.

    One after another C-tier badass in the City of Death was assassinated silently this night.

    Qin Feng stopped his manhunt and returned to the vi after he had killed ten persons in quick session.

    ***

    Before dawn, two C-tier aptitude users concealed their aura and lurked in front of Qin Feng¡¯s vi.

 Chapter 445 - Rumor

    <h4>Chapter 445: Rumor</h4>

    Their eyes met and they acknowledged each other silently.

    But after waiting for five minutes, they grew impatient. This was because the people they were waiting for did not show up.

    ¡°Something is not right. Why is Cheng not here yet?¡±

    ¡°Ren is not here too. Isn¡¯t he the one behind this operation?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me they are ying us.¡±

    ¡°Get in touch with them. We better not do anything reckless before they get here.¡±

    Those that had sess in the City of Death came through a mighty struggle to reach this position. They would not have survived to this day if they were not being extremely vignt.

    They reached for theirmunicators and called for their aplices.

    ¡°Ringg! Themunicator could not be reached at the moment!¡±

    The aptitude user was stunned. The same happened to the other guy. Their expressions changed and they had a bad feeling.

    One of them quickly tried to reach the others.

    ¡°Ringg! Themunicator could not be reached at the moment!¡±

    ¡°Ringg!¡±

    Master Cheng had actually recruited a total of seven aptitude users for this operation. They were aiming for Qin Feng¡¯s possession and the loot would be diluted if there were too many people. They agreed to join because each of them was promised at least 6 trillion if the assassination were sessful.

    Some did not even get the offer.

    Unexpectedly, none of the remaining five participants¡¯municators were online.

    ¡°Something¡¯s wrong.¡± One of the aptitude users felt a chill down his spine. He could tell that some unforeseen mishap must have happened. ¡°Forget this. Let¡¯s retreat first.¡± The guy suggested.

    The other nodded in agreement. They did not return to their base immediately but went to Master Cheng and Master Ren¡¯s ces first.

    Of course, they would not find anything there. These people had evaporated into thin air in one night.

    Qin Feng slept soundly through the night.

    In contrast to Qin Feng, Jin Fei had a rough night. He barely slept, being wary of the possibility that C-tier bosses mighte for his life at any time.

    The next morning, Qin Feng woke up and had the chef prepare a feast for them.

    All the food ingredients Qin Feng provided were of emperor tier. The chef was especially cautious in handling the food material. The value of his life would not be enough to pay for these.

    Liu Dong was obviously a hedonist. The chef was a top-ss cook and the house was soon filled with the fragrance of delicious cuisine. Jin Fei salivated when he came down from his room. Even though he was an E-tier, he had never enjoyed such a luxurious meal.

    ¡°Come and join us. I have something to ask you.¡± Qin Feng pointed at one of the seats.

    ¡°Thanks, Boss!¡± Jin Fei sat down obediently and began to eat carefully. He did not want to embarrass himself with improper table manners. But he quickly found that Qin Feng and Bai Li were rather carefree.

    Seeing that, Jin Fei began to rx.

    ¡°Boss, what do you wish to know?¡±

    Qin Feng asked, ¡°Which manufacturer has the biggest firearms production in the City of Death? Or who is the most famous in this industry?¡±

    Jin Fei was very familiar with such information and exined immediately, ¡°There are numerous processing factories inside the city. They are mostly built on the cliff, which is why the sky of this city is always covered by poisonous mist.¡±

    ¡°Among them, there are two most well-known firearm makers. One is known as Long San. He is a C2-tier and happens to be a gunner. He possesses D-tier firearm forging skills and emphasizes on producing high-ss weapons.¡±

    ¡°But Han Wen is the one making more money. He is a C5-tier ancient warrior with great influence in the city. He dominates almost up to 70% of the market.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded but suddenly thought of something.

    ¡®What a coincidence!¡¯

    One of the aptitude users that Qin Feng had killedst night was C2-tier.

    Of course, Qin Feng would not go and investigate his identity himself.

    ¡°Help me to check on this Long Santer.¡±

    Jin Fei did not know what Qin Feng had in mind but he did not voice his doubt. He promised he would do it and walked out of Qin Feng¡¯s vi right after breakfast. .

    He purposely disguised himself as a filthy beggar. No one would recognize him as the teenager who walked alongside Qin Feng yesterday.

    But if someone used consciousness to track him, he would have no way to hide.

    Jin Fei went to the streets that he usually hung around and wanted to gather intel about Long San through some of his subordinates there.

    Oddly, not many of Long San¡¯s underlings were around today.

    Not only that but people around the streets looked unusually jittery.

    ¡°Have you heard? Ten C-tier aptitude users were killedst night. Besides, they were killed unnoticed in their own house.¡±

    ¡°What? Are you sure? Who are the ones that were killed?¡±

    ¡°Master Ren, Master Cheng, and I heard Master Long was killed too. There was only a pile of ashes left and his gun was still fully loaded!¡±

    ¡°How is that possible? Master Long is very powerful!¡±

    ¡°Who knows? No one has said anything. Some of the loyal subordinates under these C-tier bosses disappeared yesterday too. They imed that at least a hundred D-tiers were killed in those visst night!¡±

    ¡°Who is the culprit?¡±

    ¡°Some say it¡¯s a D-tier?¡±

    ¡°This is just getting wilder and wilder. Are you kidding with me?¡±

    ¡°No kidding man. Who in this city doesn¡¯t know about this D-tier now? He killed Liu Dong as well as more than 400 aptitude users at the tower yesterday, which won him 4 trillion...¡±

    Jin Fei was stunned after listening to the person¡¯s babble.

    ¡®Are they talking about Qin Feng?¡¯

    He was no longer in the mood to collect intel so he rushed back to the vi to look for Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was absorbing some of the items that he obtained from the Tower of Death yesterday. These were edible items and could not be used to construct runic equipment. Qin Feng would not put it into his mouth but directly digested it with his ability.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    He had plundered back a huge number of items. He was promoted once again after leaving Longchuan for less than a month.

    D6-tier!

    ¡°Phew!¡± Qin Feng breathed out in satisfaction. He would be in a much better position once he had pushed past C-tier.

    Jin Fei came stumbling in through the front door.

    ¡°Boss! I got the news you wanted!¡±

    Qin Feng walked out of the gym. Jin Fei felt that he was scarier than any D-tier he had met before as a strong aura still lingered around the newly-promoted Qin Feng.

    He was way beyond those at the same tier as him.

    ¡°Speak.¡±

    ¡°Gulp.¡± Jin Fei initially believed that someone must have tried to frame Qin Feng. He was not so sure now. ¡°Long San has disappeared. Someone said that he was killed and his body had been obliterated. Not only that but nine other C-tier aptitude users went MIA sincest night too. It¡¯s rumored that you are the culprit behind all these.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°I am.¡±

    Jin Fei was stunned.

 Chapter 446 - Factory Ownership

    <h4>Chapter 446: Factory Ownership</h4>

    ¡°Since Long San left behind such a huge asset, I am going to im it.¡± Qin Feng got up and got dressed in his battle suit. ¡°Lead me to this factory of his.¡±

    ¡°Ah! Sure!¡±

    Jin Fei showed Qin Feng the destination on the map and they headed there in Qin Feng¡¯s hover car.

    The workers of the factory were in full panic mode. But since this firearm factory was one of the top three businesses under Long San, the ce was still heavily guarded. After Long San was found missing, most of the D-tiers had gathered at the factory.

    There were a total of thirteen men and none of them believed Long San had been assassinated.

    But, most people actually believed the rumor.

    Qin Feng was not the first toe to the factory. A group of people had actually ¡°visited¡± thepound before him.

    The news was leaked around 12 o¡¯clock and most of the big guns got the update long before that. They had secretly carved up most of the resources that once belonged to Long San, and the firearm factory inevitably became everyone¡¯s target thereafter.

    Long San¡¯s firearm business was not the most profitable one as it focused on high-end tech over applicability. The factory was built to serve his own purpose since Long San was a gunner. As such, he had hired thirty researchers to work for him in the factory.

    Such a business did not earn as much as Han Wen¡¯s arsenal. But Han Wen was not dead.

    It was thest ce that came to the big guns¡¯ minds after they had swallowed up most of the otherpanies. They sent someone to take over the ce and in the end, four people from different factions bumped into each other at the factory.

    ¡°This factory belongs to our boss from today onward!¡±

    ¡°Firste first serve. Scram!¡±

    ¡°Kiss my as*¡±

    ¡°Get the hell out of here if you don¡¯t want to die!¡±

    Seeing that the situation hade to an impasse, they had no choice but to call for backup.

    Soon, a few hundred D-tier aptitude users arrived at the factory. The thirteen D-tiers under Long San had decided to stay out of it and waited to join whichever faction that came out on top in the end.

    As things escted, eventually the C-tier bosses were forced toe out personally.

    This was no longer about the business but the bosses¡¯ personal ego.

    ¡°Since none of us are willing to give in, then there¡¯s only one way left,¡± One of the C-tiers spoke.

    The other C-tier sneered and said, ¡°I am listening.¡±

    ¡°Battle royal!¡±

    ¡°Alright then.¡±

    Each C-tier would pick a D-tier fighter to contest in the battle royal and thest man standing wins the factory for his or her boss.

    Qin Feng¡¯s hover car arrived at the scene when they hade to an agreement.

    Jin Fei exited the car hastily and wanted to open Qin Feng¡¯s car door for him. But Qin Feng was not a resident in this city and he could not care less about such unnecessary culture. He stepped out of the car before Jin Fei reached for the door handle.

    Qin Feng scanned the crowd outside the factory. Jin Fei followed his sight and was frightened when he saw the four bosses.

    ¡°Boss, they are obviously fighting for factory ownership. These four are some of the most dangerous gang bosses in this city,¡± Jin Fei introduced in a low voice.

    The four C-tier aptitude users looked toward Qin Feng simultaneously.

    They immediately recognized Qin Feng after yesterday¡¯s incident at the Secret Tower of Death.

    Though Qin Feng¡¯s power was off the charts, he did not have a gang in the City of Death. Thus, he was unable to im any property after assassinating ten bosses.

    Nobody expected Qin Feng to appear at the factory.

    Qin Feng walked over slowly and stopped about ten meters away from the bosses.

    ¡°So you guys have your eyes on this factory too?¡± Qin Feng asked coldly.

    Those C-tiers¡¯ expressions immediately changed.

    One of them looked at Qin Feng in horror.

    He was one of the men that sneaked outside Qin Feng¡¯s vi yesterday night. He was the one who certified that the ten missing men were dead after visiting their houses.

    Though there were no corpses to be found, they were certain Qin Feng was the culprit based on the dark rune remnants and faint inner strength trail left at the scene.

    Now, the brutal killer had suddenlye out of nowhere.

    The C-tier instinctively made the wisest choice out of fear. ¡°Hmph, such a lousy ce is not worth sacrificing my man¡¯s life. I am out. Retreat!¡±

    His underlings looked at their boss puzzlingly at the sudden change in attitude but they went away with him withoutint. About thirty men left the factory after the C-tier opted out.

    The other three C-tiers were shaken too. They were carefully weighing the cost and consequence in their minds.

    Of course, not every one of them believed that Qin Feng was the murderer.

    Besides, they were also very interested in Qin Feng¡¯s wealth.

    ¡°So what if we do? Your name is Qin Feng, right? Don¡¯t tell me you are thinking of taking over this factory as well?¡± One of the remaining C-tiers bawled.

    ording to Jin Fei earlier, the one who had spoken was called Chang Ming. He was a solid C-tier ancient warrior with great physical strength.

    ¡°Yes. I am interested in this factory. I would appreciate it if the three of you withdraw at once.¡± Qin Feng answered.

    ¡°Who do you think we are? Some goons who will just give you the ownership after you b some nonsense?¡± Chang Ming did not think much and blurted, ¡°Take out 10 trillion and I may consider handing the factory to you.¡±

    Qin Feng could not hold back hisughter. ¡°What kind of goon are you to make you think I would ept such a nonsensical offer?¡±

    The othersughed too and Chang Ming was exasperated that Qin Feng ridiculed him with his own words.

    ¡°You are so dead!¡±

    Qin Feng replied, ¡°Those who said that yesterday is no longer in this world today.¡±

    The other two C-tiers were stunned by what he said.

    Chang Ming, however, continued to mock Qin Feng, ¡°Don¡¯t be so full of yourself. I am not buying it. Let me call your bluff.¡±

    Since Qin Feng had proven that he was invincible among the D-tiers in the Secret Tower of Death, Chang Ming decided to challenge him personally.

    He did not use any particr art but simply charged at Qin Feng bluntly with his internal power concentrated at the front of his palm.

    The force of the palm was not only aimed at Qin Feng but encapsted Jin Fei in it as well.

    Qin Feng promptly made his move. He grabbed on Jin Fei and fell back speedily with Dragon Steps.

    Boom!

    The ground instantly shattered upon impact.

    Chang Ming was indeed a scary opponent.

    The D-tier subordinates could clearly feel the pressure oozing out from Chang Ming. The two C-tiers were in awe too.

    ¡®Chang Ming had once again improved!¡¯ They wondered whether the fact that he could progress so quickly was because of his simple mind.

    Chang Ming attacked again but Qin Feng moved a tad earlier this time.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, then ask those men when you see them in hell!¡±

    Qin Feng disappeared after he said that.

    Dark Shadow!

    In the next instance, he resurfaced right behind Chang Ming.

 Chapter 447 - Intimidation

    <h4>Chapter 447: Intimidation</h4>

    A fuchsia saber appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    The next moment, fuchsia magma collided with Chang Ming¡¯s internal force shield.

    Pop!

    It was as easy as popping a bubble. Chang Ming¡¯s shield burst instantly.

    Chang Ming was shocked. He turned and barely evaded the iing saber.

    Qin Feng was relentless and attacked again. Chang Ming immediately took out a golden spear, indicating that it was a weapon imbued with beast emperor runes.

    Furthermore, it was a legit C-tier weapon.

    Chang Ming perfused the spear with his internal power and raised it to block Qin Feng¡¯s attack. He had regained himself from the initial shock and intended to contest Qin Feng seriously.

    If possible, he would like to end Qin Feng¡¯s life here and now.

    Qin Feng charged in and they were soon tangled up in a fierce battle.

    The reason Qin Feng was able to kill ten people the night before was because he did so through a surprise attack.

    Against Chang Ming, the opponent was prepared and defended frantically after witnessing Qin Feng¡¯s ferocious attack.

    The repercussions of their battle were suffocating and forced back the crowds.

    Qin Feng still had a lot left in the tank, while Chang Ming¡¯s internal force slowly copsed impact after impact.

    nk!

    The two weapons came together time and again. All of a sudden, a terrifying radiance beamed out of Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Burning Sword re!

    Qin Feng had held back his power up till now. The de in fuchsia re mmed heavily on Chang Ming¡¯s spear.

    The spear melted at an observable speed and broke into half. That was the horrifying power of the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Ah!!¡± Chang Ming shrieked and let go of his weapon. Both of his hands were burned by the heat from the sword re. Dauntingly, both inflicted hands turned into bones instantly.

    The bystanders were stupefied seeing the result.

    Qin Feng seized the opportunity and continued to release his energy without hesitation.

    Boom!

    The re engulfed Chang Ming entirely.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡± Chang Ming tried to trigger his remaining internal force to resist the me. But it was futile as his arms began to turn into bones as well.

    Bang!

    Chang Ming stomped on the ground and fled backward.

    An honorable C-tier was forced to run away from a battle. It was such a disgrace.

    Anyhow, Chang Ming saved his life by doing so as Qin Feng did not n to pursue and give him the final blow.

    The crowd was silenced.

    Qin Feng¡¯s sight went through each of them.

    Those aptitude users who worked for Chang Ming looked down in fright and stepped back sheepishly. When they saw that Qin Feng did not take any further action, they, too, bolted with their tail in between their legs.

    Another thirty men were gone from the scene.

    Now, sixty of them were left. Qin Feng turned to them.

    ¡°Master Yuan, I am not going to turn on you just because of one tiny factory. You are free to have it.¡± One of the C-tiers threw the ball to Master Yuan and left hurriedly.

    Thest C-tier stood there, half angry, half nervous. His mind was racing to find a proper excuse.

    Qin Feng¡¯s sight fell on thest boss.

    ¡°Boss, this is Yuan Tian, a C5-tier ancient warrior...¡± Jin Fei did not continue as he realized it was no longer necessary. Unlike Chang Ming, C-tier bosses in this city often avoided getting involved in a battle.

    Qin Feng nodded and said, ¡°Master Yuan, I am really fond of this factory. I hope you don¡¯t mind passing it to me.¡±

    Before Yuan Tian could say anything, one of his underlings rebuked, ¡°Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to our boss like that?¡±

    Though Qin Feng had defeated Chang Ming, Yuan Tian was at an entirely different level. They wished to teach Qin Feng a lesson seeing his arrogance.

    More so, they were jealous of Qin Feng.

    Yuan Tian snarled and pped the ancient warrior who spoke senselessly. The poor guy was sent flying several meters back.

    ¡°Brother Qin, I apologize for not educating my dog well.¡± God knows how difficult it was for those words toe out from Master Yuan¡¯s mouth.

    However, the depth of Qin Feng¡¯s strength was immeasurable. What happened today showed that Qin Feng was no easy opponent. No one in the City of Death would dare to mess with him from this point onward.

    If Qin Feng wanted, he could have killed the eleventh C-tier in less than a day.

    ¡°We are leaving!¡± Yuan Tian did not wait for Qin Feng to reply and left with his men too.

    The tense situation outside the factory a moment ago was promptly defused. Only Long San¡¯s men were left there now. They looked at each other and wondered what would happen to them now.

    ¡°Those who wish to stay, I will give you what Long San had promised you before. But if you don¡¯t want to work with me, you are free to go!¡± Qin Feng did not make it hard on them.

    ¡°Really? We are free to walk?¡± Though they worked for Long San, not all of them are loyal to him.

    When one became stronger, naturally those on top woulde and recruit them. If they refuse the offer while not having any backings, then it usually spelled doom for them.

    It was just like how Master Cheng had recruited Qin Feng before. The only difference was that Qin Feng did not bow down to him, and Master Cheng was the one who paid with his life instead.

    Thus, when Long San was killed, the first concern his underlings had was not to avenge him but to find a way to survive in this unforgiving city. They did not expect Qin Feng to be so lenient to them.

    ¡°I always mean what I say. Besides, I have no room for useless subordinates!¡± Qin Feng affirmed.

    The D-tiers were clearly angered by Qin Feng¡¯s remark but did not rebut him.

    Though Qin Feng had defeated Chang Ming and probably was the culprit behind the ten assassinations yesterday, most of them were still unconvinced.

    After all, Qin Feng was only a D-tier and they would not unwaveringly serve someone at the same tier as them, no matter how outrageously strong he was.

    Qin Feng understood this too. He might have made those D-tiers at Shadong his subordinates but it was only until a few major battlester that they became united and acknowledged Qin Feng. To earn these people¡¯s trust simply by killing a few top guns was not going to cut it.

    In the end, most of Long San¡¯s men left and only two were willing to stay put.

    One was a one-eyed gunner known by the nickname Eagle Blind. His real name was Guo Guan and was at least fifty five years old. He was a D-tier but had a weak physique. He probably experienced multiple major injuries during his youth.

    The other one was Guo Guan¡¯s nephew named Guo Song. He was a twenty-nine-year-old D-tier ancient warrior.

    Two men were all Qin Feng needed.

    ¡°I will bear all the expenses of the factory. All you two need to do is to keep watch of the factory and prevent anyone from entering,¡± Qin Feng ordered solemnly.

    Guo Guan frowned. He was clearly undeterred by Qin Feng¡¯s imposing presence.

    ¡°You killed ten bosses yesterday, but this is the only property you came forth to im. I bet you have something unique to research on?¡±

    Qin Feng chastised, ¡°Don¡¯t poke on things when you are not supposed to.¡±

    Guo Guanughed and said, ¡°Well, I am just curious. After all, I do not work only as a guard here but I am also a recognized firearm engineer.¡±

    Qin Feng looked at him with great interest. He was surprised by the veteran¡¯s tenacity.

    ¡®He may be more useful to me than I thought.¡¯

    Seeing his persistence, Qin Feng revealed to him. ¡°Well. There¡¯s indeed something I wish to reverse engineer.¡±

 Chapter 448 - A Reserved Seat For You

    <h4>Chapter 448: A Reserved Seat For You</h4>

    Certainly, Qin Feng was referring to the parts that were looted from the Floating City of the Grans at the Longchuan mountain ranges, there were definitely some broken parts, and even some fully functional parts that could still be put into use!

    The reason behind Qin Feng¡¯s intention to own the factory was to support research on those items.

    The City of Death was filled with factories of all sorts, where the firearm factory was the most profitable one, and the most horrifying ones were those that involved special potions.

    Human experiments were entirely ungoverned at the City of Death.

    Most of the extremely effective strengthening potions that had major side effects were produced in the factory.

    Although Qin Feng was within the Dark Coalition, unlike when he was in the Human Alliance, he did not bother to question the Z Organization and diverted his attention to such matters.

    As soon as he took over the factory, he went all out on research on firearms, regardless of the horrifying oues and polluting effects that could cause massive mutations.

    ¡°As long as it is powerful enough, anything will do!¡±

    ¡°With these items that have such advanced technology, I would not tolerate inadequate results, or else, you will be recognized as trash and not deserve to live!¡±

    ¡°Increase the speed, no time shall be wasted!¡±

    Qin Fengmanded to speed up the operation of the factory.

    However, Qin Feng had no choice but to lower his expectations on the research work that would often be time consuming.

    It had been a week, Qin Feng¡¯s research was progressing smoothly, however, something bad had happened at Longchuan City.

    Chen Xiang was connected to Qin Feng¡¯s Bloodhuntermunicator.

    ¡°Ten forts were destroyed at Longchuan, all males were killed, and females are being enved, they are absolutely a bunch of b*stards!¡± Chen Xiang was infuriated.

    The Grans were too powerful.

    Although the Grans were extremely ahead with their technological advancement, however, they were rather simr in terms of physical capabilities. All soldiers were capped at C-tier, they were only king-tier and emperor-tier, and none of them had any outstandingbat energy.

    They shared simr reproductive patterns with the humans and they were able to reproduce quickly, however, although they seemed to be surviving well, the numbers of females were gradually decreasing, it was due to pollution, radiation, or perhaps natural selection!

    Hence, the Grans were aiming to capture more females as their ves.

    Chen Xiang and the others were equally infuriated by the situation.

    However, none of them could do anything, the Grans had already taken control of the outer part of Longchuan City!

    The situation had coincidently matched with Qin Feng¡¯s memory before his rebirth.

    ¡°Hmm, do not take the risk, and do not go back in there!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Chen Xiang answered, ¡°Of course not, I was just thinking if you were here, this wisdom tribe would not be so cocky!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled, ¡°Even if I am there, there is no way that I could handle tens of thousands of the enemies!¡±

    Although Bai Li might have the capability to do so, however, Qin Feng did not want to take the risk as the Floating City was too powerful.

    It had even put Gao Yukang to an instant death; hence, Qin Feng would never consider putting Bai Li under the same situation.

    ¡°Furthermore, have faith in the human race, the Grans will not sustain for that long, and it will also be a prolonged battle for them!¡±

    Due to the fortified defense of Longchuan City, the Grans were unable to instantly take down the city, hence, the battle would take at least a month, and only the A-tier aptitude users would be able to put an end to it.

    ¡°Hmm, understood, the Human Alliance is sending out an A-tier aptitude user, ording to sources, it might be the me Lord Cui Lian!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, indeed, before his rebirth, it was Cui Lian who had taken down the Grans and became the duke of the Floating City and travelled around the world.

    ¡°The situation will soon be safe, by then, all of you will have the option to return to Longchuan!¡±

    Chen Xiang let out a bitter smile. ¡°Long Chuan is too dangerous for us, and it would be a little taxing for us!¡±

    ¡°Which is why Zheng Qian needs your support, or perhaps, you can strive to be a C-tier!¡±

    The Longchuan mountain ranges were filled with D-tier ultra beasts that were much more powerful than the humans, hence, it was crucial to have support from C-tier aptitude users to sustain within battles.

    ¡°I will work on it!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, great, that¡¯s all for now, keep me informed on thetest news!¡±

    ¡°Affirmative!¡±

    Both of them ended themunication, and Qin Feng was left to his thoughts.

    ¡°The Floating City! Such a good thing to have!¡±

    As Qin Feng went deeper into the research work of the firearms, the more he realized how great the Floating City that the Grans had was!

    Unfortunately, with Qin Feng¡¯s current capabilities, it would be impossible for him to have that.

    While Qin Feng was deep in his thoughts, Jin Fei entered.

    ¡°Boss, a ck-robed man came with this written invitation, you are invited to participate in the Secret Tower of Death!¡± Jin Fei handed over the invitation to Qin Feng and continued, ¡°There is also something else conveyed by the ck-robed man!¡±

    ¡°Oh? What is it?¡±

    ¡°You have been allocated a seat within the tower! And you will get one percent share of the total profits from the casino!¡±

    Qin Feng could not resist his urge tough.

    Obviously, Qin Feng¡¯sst outstanding performance had showcased his overwhelming capabilities!

    Or else, the ck-robed man would not be there to extend such an invitation.

    The ultimate reason for allocating Qin Feng with this seat was to prevent him from partaking in it.

    Qin Feng turned the invitation card around and noticed that it was indeed only a viewing invitation.

    Hence, it was also a warning from the ck-robed men.

    ¡°Boss, do you agree with this?¡±

    ¡°Certainly, I¡¯m getting money without having to lift even a finger!¡± Qin Feng smiled and answered.

    Jin Fei was relieved. ¡°I was afraid that you might not be willing to forfeit the opportunity to gamble, and there might be another round! However, ehh, surprisingly, I am now a little unsatisfied!¡±

    Jin Fei seemed to be puzzled.

    He was raised in the City of Death, and he knew howplicated and dangerous it was to have ties with the influential parties within the city, anyone could easily lose their lives from it.

    Qin Feng¡¯s decision to give up such a great amount of profit had left Jin Fei in admiration.

    Sometimes, Jin Fei had also wondered, if he were to be as capable as Qin Feng, would he still be restricted to y by the rules of the others?

    However, Jin Fei would never understand that the purpose Qin Feng agreed to the term was to allow himself another chance in the tower, and have another opportunity for more rewards.

    In the same afternoon, Qin Feng entered into the tower with the crowd, and every boss who met with him was on high alert, and they stared at him with restraining fear!

    Qin Feng was a powerful opponent.

    If Qin Feng were to join in, some of them might even choose to not send in any henchmen to avoid losses.

    Furthermore, they were afraid of offending Qin Feng and ending up having a simr fate as the previous bosses.

    Fortunately, as soon as Qin Feng entered, he seated on his assigned spot, surprisingly, he did not intend to join in.

    The C-tier aptitude users seemed to be disturbed with mixed feelings, they felt relieved and puzzled at the same time.

    On one hand, they were relieved that they did not have to lose any of their henchmen, on the other hand, they were puzzled by the D-tier that was enjoying the treatment of C-tier aptitude users.

    The contest was much shorter than the previous one that Qin Feng had joined as most of the participants took in whatever they deemed valuable. It was a rather restrained and yet intense battle, and nobody was blocking the exit anymore, however, half of the total participants died!

    Qin Feng was not bothered and did not ce any bets, he immediately returned after it ended.

    ¡®There is no need to join anymore, Bai Li can bring me here directly!¡¯ Qin Feng had that in mind.

    It was on the same night, Qin Feng and Bai Li appeared within the tower again!

 Chapter 449 - Ability, Absorb!

    <h4>Chapter 449: Ability, Absorb!</h4>

    Qin Feng was at the tower again for the items that were unretrievable by the others, then he returned to his vi.

    Surprisingly, most of them were cores and furs of ultra beasts, and the item with the highest grade was a shattered B-tier beast king core.

    With that, it was already insanely horrifying!

    As soon as it was ced in hand, Qin Feng was able to feel the horrifying energy that was being embedded within!

    Qin Feng took a deep breath and absorbed it directly.

    The energy immediately merged into his body while his physical capabilities were constantly being enhanced.

    The constant killings and practicing of Qin Feng had driven the improvements of his internal strength, and he was just a little short from achieving C-tier, however, his physical energy growth had been halted.

    ¡°Killings would only build my internal strength but not physical capabilities, therefore, ultra beasts would have stronger physical capabilities than ancient warriors!¡±

    ¡°Ultra beasts would have enhanced physique; however, they arecking in internal strength, both features do note together!¡±

    ¡°It is a bigger trouble for aptitude users to have too little conscious energy, and it is also difficult to get them from high tier gunners, perhaps, moving forward, it will be necessary to collect some ultra beast cores!¡±

    Qin Feng pondered while his ability continued its work.

    Massive amounts of energy were constantly umted within Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Despite having a shattered B-tier beast king core, Qin Feng¡¯s tier did not move up.

    Fortunately, there was an abundance of those items.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    ¡°Absorb...¡±

    ¡°Absorb...¡±

    Every consumable item was being absorbed by Qin Feng.

    Then, Qin Feng felt that his physical capability had arrived at a turning point.

    In the next moment, Qin Feng¡¯s aura was exploding.

    It was no longer restricted and hidden, it was horrifying, and a glimpse of it was already sufficient to intimidate the others.

    Such majestic presence.

    D6-tier!

    Qin Feng had advanced to a higher tier!

    Crack!

    Continuous explosions took ce on his body while his aura began to consolidate.

    ¡°D6-tier, not enough!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately took out ten cubic meters of energy cubes.

    It was specially purified to contain an intense amount of energy that could promote growth on conscious energy and internal strength.

    Furthermore, it was alsoparable with some of the high-grade pills.

    The energy cubes were constantly produced by aptitude users for rapid consumption; hence, it was fixed at a constant price and had minimal fluctuations, and it was also recognized as a physical currency.

    Of course, Qin Feng was about to consume the energy cubes that he had taken out.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    The energy was instantly absorbed by Qin Feng, the evaporated energy cubes were like concentrated gases that were immersed into his body; then, it solidified into water, and flowed into his dantian.

    There were already ny-seven pools of solidified energy within Qin Feng¡¯s dantian, they were all from the days of killings that he had; hence, it would not be too exaggerated to presume that Qin Feng had undergone leaps and bounds of improvement in his internal strength.

    At that moment, the ten cubic meters of energy cubes had umted into a pool of internal strength within Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    ¡°More!¡±

    Another ten cubic meters of energy cube had disappeared.

    Then, Qin Feng took out the third batch.

    Within the blink of an eye, three hundred billion worth of energy cubes were being consumed!

    The amount of internal strength within Qin Feng¡¯s body had umted to its maximum level.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion, congeal!¡±

    Within seconds, a hundred pools of internal strength were being instantly solidified and sank underneath Qin Feng¡¯s dantian, then it formed into a pool of deep water.

    Liquified pool, internal strength advancement, C-tier!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength had reached new heights.

    There were still some remaining from the hundred pools of internal strength, another round increased the height of the pool by about ten centimeters.

    In ancient warrior terms, it would be recognized as a double pool of deep water.

    It was equivalent to the amount of internal strength being used by a C2-tier ancient warrior.

    Qin Feng¡¯s ability to absorb had allowed every of his internal strength advancements to top the achievements of all ancient warriors!

    There was no exception on it.

    A hundred pools of internal energy had multiplied into pools of deep water that was ten times of the amount, it was equivalent to the peak of the internal strength of a C-tier.

    In total, Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength had not changed, and it was the capacity of his dantian that had grown massively, and his capability had also undergone qualitative change!

    ¡°I am fortunate to have the absorption ability, or else, it would be impossible to gain three pools of water by absorbing three hundred billion worth of energy cubes, an ordinary ancient warrior might require ten years toplete the absorption, and with that huge sum of money, they would most probably opt for pills!¡±

    ¡°Undamaged absorption ability is truly overwhelming!¡± Qin Feng felt satisfied with every usage of his absorption ability, for him, it was the greatest gift for his rebirth.

    Without wasting any time, Qin Feng continued his practice on Godwill As, Overcast Dragon, and others.

    Qin Feng had also gone into ability runes research.

    There was still room to magnify the explosive energy of his ability runes.

    Qin Feng would need to utilize such abilities to battle against greater threats in the future.

    Since then, Qin Feng had been absent from the Secret Tower of Death for an entire month, however, with the items obtained from the tower, he had been achieving steady improvements in his capabilities.

    Throughout the month, his two trillion worth of investment in the firearm factory had also secured a huge sess for him, the research work had produced an insanely terrifying machine.

    Due to the massive size of the machine, Qin Feng had even shifted the factory from its original location to a new location at the peak of the Death Valley.

    ***

    ¡°Boss, there is a test flight to be done at the factory today! The car is ready outside!¡±

    Jin Fei reminded Qin Feng with full respect; throughout the entire month of serving Qin Feng, Jin Fei had obtained the mantra to practice Overcast Dragon, and by utilizing the neigong, his capability had skyrocketed. Furthermore, he represented Qin Feng as his spokesperson in the City of Death.

    Certainly, it had been a month, and he was already able to drive!

    ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng nodded.

    ¡°Are we going to look at the new hover copter? It has taken quite some time, and I wonder what it would look like!¡± Bai Li was also eager to find out the oue of the research work.

    Qin Fengughed, ¡°It is not a hover copter!¡±

    ¡°Oh? I will definitely need to take a look!¡± Bai Li answered.

    Jin Fei opened the door for both of them to enter, and he continued to drive into the City of Death, after a short while, they had arrived at the exit of the city.

    The exit was strictly monitored by guards; however, they were immediately alerted by the appearance of the car and were afraid to cause any trouble.

    Jin Fei immediately took out a small pouch and threw it onto the desk of the guards.

    Tickets were required to pass through the exits of the city, and nobody could be exempted from it, not even C-tiers; those who thought that they could be treated differently would often end up with deaths that were associated with unknown reasons.

    Of course, one could still choose not to pay, however, it would be best to not return to the city anymore.

    Therefore, everyone would try not to vite the rules.

    Although it was not the first time for Jin Fei to drive out from the city, he still felt excited as soon as they had passed through the exit.

    Soon, they transited intobat copters and flew out from the Death Valley, where they travelled in between both sides of the valleys.

    In less than ten minutes, there were rows of massive factories that appeared before the eyes of Qin Feng and the others.

    Bai Li was curious about the ce.

    Someone else was already there waiting for the helicopter tond.

    ¡°Mister Qin!¡±

    ¡°Mister Qin!¡±

    Of course, Qin Feng was weed by the operator of the factory, Guo Guan.

 Chapter 450 - Aircraft Launching Flight

    <h4>Chapter 450: Aircraft Launching Flight</h4>

    Despite having weaker capabilities, Guo Guan had always been a helpful aid for Long San with his widespread knowledge that could surpass the science researchers.

    He was the main contributor in the machine manufacturing that was ordered by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Mister Qin, I am confident that you will not be disappointed this time!¡±

    Guo Guan seemed to be assured by the oue of his work, and he was like a mad scientist that was obsessed with his experiments.

    He pressed gently onto the remote control that was in his hand, the rooftop of a factory instantly folded back, while the walls that they were facing began to curve and were stacked onto each other, the machine that was centered in the factory was revealed and showcased to everyone.

    Surprisingly, it was an elliptical aero-dynamic bodied aircraft!

    ¡°This is the result of our research, an aircraft that is three hundred meters in length, forty meters in height, has fouryered decks, and is capable of carrying up to a thousand passengers!¡±

    ¡°Of course, this is not amercial aircraft for guests, and it has its own extremely powerful firearm systems!¡±

    ¡°Centered with the most powerful central cannon,bined with three sub-canons, and thirty impact cannons, it is also equipped with countless numbers of openings that will allow additions ofrge caliber firearms to take on closebat!¡±

    ¡°It is also equipped with solobat openings, of course, for space saving purposes, I am only usingbat aircrafts that are onlypatible with spatial rune equipment.¡±

    ¡°Distance travelled by thebat aircrafts would usually be calcted in hours, however, with the strong hovering capability of the aircraft, it would be calcted in days.¡±

    ¡°Furthermore, the consumption is highly affordable, with such top-tier transporting equipment, you can be anywhere in the world!¡±

    Guo Guan could not resist his urge to exin and showcase every feature of the aircraft.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and took a nce at the time shown on hismunicator, and he interrupted Guo Guan¡¯s exnation.

    ¡°Alright, enough of the features, it is better to take a look myself!¡±

    Guo Guan was enjoying his time exining the features, after all, it was his first flight on the aircraft, obviously, he was bouncing off the walls.

    ¡°Alright! Boss, this way!¡±

    Guo Guan led the crowd and entered the aircraft.

    It was well equipped with all sorts of facilities, the luxurious amodation on the highest deck was definitely for Qin Feng and Bai Li, there were still other four suites avable for guests, or it could also amodate other higher management personnel.

    There were also single rooms and dorms, locked up rooms for ves, main operation room, and other facilities.

    Despite its small size, the aircraft had definitely put every avable space to full use!

    Perhaps, warships that were travelling the ocean would look simr to this!

    Then, Qin Feng went into the cockpit that was filled with countless buttons and dials, furthermore, it was also equipped with conscious energy sensing facilities that were specially prepared for gunners.

    Guo Guan took a seat on the pilot seat and instructed another E-tier aptitude user to take on the co-pilot seat, soon they were about to take off.

    Such a massive machine would certainly require a strong gunner to drive out its full capabilities.

    Qin Feng was assigned to themanding seat, however, there were not any controlling options for him.

    It was genuinely the spot for themander, however, at the moment, it was still a sweet spot to observe.

    However, the spacious seat was enough for both Qin Feng and Bai Li to sit together.

    Jin Fei found a corner seat for himself.

    ¡°Preparationpleted, your instruction please!¡±

    Guo Guan informed Qin Feng that he was ready for the take off.

    ¡°Let¡¯s fly to the east for a while!¡± Qin Feng casuallymanded.

    Guo Guan also casually turned on the aircraft.

    It was a very stable aircraft that could even keep a bottle still without any swaying, it ascended from the ground and began to fly up to the sky.

    Despite its limited speed, the overall flying experience was veryfortable and there was no interruption of unpleasant noise.

    It was all because of the massive engine that was provided by Qin Feng, and it was from the Floating City!

    Indeed, it was such a waste to mount the engine of the Floating City into an aircraft.

    Then, the aircraft went full speed toward the east direction, coincidentally, there was a bunch of E-tier flying ultra beasts.

    Guo Guan did not n to avoid them, and he reacted with an arrogant suggestion, ¡°Boss, should we take these ultra beasts down?!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled, and he did not wish to reveal Guo Guan¡¯s intention.

    ¡°Attack!¡±

    ¡°Affirmative!¡±

    Guo Guan immediately controlled the side wings to initiate the weapons, there was a glimpse of shining light and the flying ultra beasts were instantly prated by the lights and killed.

    There were more than three hundred of them, and they covered arge area in the sky; usually, even the D-tiers would choose to avoid shing with such arge group of ultra beasts.

    However, it had only taken about ten minutes to wipe them off, and it had definitely showcased the powerfulbat system of the aircraft.

    Then, Guo Guan sent down another twobat aircrafts to collect the loot!

    Of course, it was rather time consuming to collect the loot as the aircraft would need to descend to hover at twenty meters above the ground, it was about the height of a building with six floors, even the nts from outside of the windows were easily reachable.

    In terms of its features, it was an all-rounded and perfect aircraft.

    As Guo Guan was the one who had manufactured the aircraft, it would be logical for him to think that he would be the captain of the aircraft, and Qin Feng would only be his boss, or themander above his position.

    Guo Guan had even imagined himself in the future, flying the aircraft, and nothing could be in his way for his legendary achievements, and he would be like Sail King from the ind nations!

    Amid his wild imaginations, the aircraft was alerted by a sudden beeping siren!

    Guo Guan was shocked, he thought that there was something wrong with the aircraft that could put him in an embarrassing situation, however, he immediately realized that it was not the case!

    At that moment, Qin Feng and the others were also alerted by theirmunicators.

    ¡°Beep beep beep, attention, head toward 1078-meter, spatial rift has been identified!¡±

    ¡°Beep beep beep, attention...¡±

    The aircraft had received an alert that shocked Guo Guan, he did not expect to have such an unfortunate encounter.

    ¡°Combat aircraft return to the aircraft, full speed!¡±

    As soon as Guo Guan had given his order, he then realized that Qin Feng was there, he instantly turned around and tried to please Qin Feng. ¡°Boss, we should retreat now, rifts have appeared!¡±

    Qin Feng was no longer feeling casual about the flight experience, hemanded, ¡°Since it has appeared, let¡¯s just take a look, if it is just a small one, take it down and we will leave!¡±

    Guo Guan wished to curse silently on Qin Feng¡¯s decision. Although he was already in the Dark Coalition, he was still acting as if he was still in the Human Alliance, it was contradicting for him to risk his own safety and care for the others at such a crucial time.

    However, rifts in the wilderness varied in terms of their severity, as spaces around the City of Death had always been stable, hence, there should not be any worrying concerns.

    With that in mind, Guo Guan calmed himself down.

    However, he was struck by a scene that immediately changed his expression!

    From a thousand meters ahead, white clouds were absent from the soul-soothing blue skies, a giant rift had appeared.

    A pitch-ck rift extended across the sky in a horizontal shape, and it was more than three hundred meters in length.

    The massive scale of it was extremely horrifying.

    Then, the rift widened, as if a mouth was opening wide in the sky.

    A bizarre looking creature crawled out from the rift.

    Everyone was alerted by theirmunicators again.

    ¡°Beep beep beep, detection of D-tier beast emperor ahead, you are 1078 meters away from a D-tier beast emperor!¡±

 Chapter 451 - Self-served Ultra Steak

    <h4>Chapter 451: Self-served Ultra Steak</h4>

    Guo Guan¡¯s face instantly turned grim!

    It was a D-tier beast emperor. They had no way to take on a beast that strong.

    Guo Guan wanted to flee but he was piloting an aircraft right now; so, he could not just do whatever he wanted. Besides, Qin Feng was still watching him from behind!

    Thus, Guo Guan forced a calm demeanor and turned toward Qin Feng. ¡°Boss, should we flee? It¡¯s a D-tier beast emperor!¡±

    Yet, all he got was a calm reply from Qin Feng, ¡°Flee? Why?¡±

    He was waiting for this very moment!

    To others, this ultra beast was nothing but a massive cmity, yet to Qin Feng this was like a massive ultra steak that was serving itself to him directly.

    Qin Feng knew what was going to happen in the future. Thus, naturally he would also know what kind of ultra beast would appear at the exact time and location.

    Qin Feng did note to the City of Death solely for the Secret Tower of Death even though the gains he acquired from it was something to grin about.

    It was the same with this dimensional rift.

    Qin Feng took a long look at the dimensional rift¡ªit was getting bigger and bigger; in just the blink of an eye, it grew to thirty meters in height.

    To the others that were onlooking, it felt as though the dimensional rift had be a gigantic, wide mouth, intending to swallow the aircraft whole.

    ¡°Gulp!¡±

    Guo Guan swallowed nervously as he stared at the rift.

    He was no longer a child. However, he was not getting stronger or braver. He had never seen a D-tier beast emperor before.

    Only the C-tiers would dare to take on this kind of ultra beast. Not only that, it would take only the best of the C-tiers to take it down.

    And now, he was going to face this kind of monstrosity head on?

    This caused great anxiety to Guo Guan.

    Meanwhile, the dimensional rift had widened to an even bigger size now. As it was widening, a massive silhouette crawled out of the dimensional rift.

    The silhouette was so huge that it could easily be three-storeys tall. This thing looked like a giant turtle that was a dozen meters in height.

    Booom!

    After crawling out of the dimensional rift, the giant turtle fell on the ground. It fell on its back, struggling to get back up with its four feet.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Several giant turtles crawled out of the dimensional rift again. Of course, only a few of them were lucky enough tond on four feet.

    Without hesitation, Qin Feng ordered, ¡°Attack!¡±

    Guo Guan was stunned after hearing this.

    Qin Feng frowned as he saw the other giant turtles crawling toward each other and aiding their brethrens to stand firm on their feet.

    Qin Feng immediately walked toward the E-tier pilot and carried him out of his pilot seat, and then sat on it.

    The E-tier pilot was shocked when he saw this, not knowing what to do. All he was thinking was that Qin Feng should not have been reckless even if he was anxious. If he pushed the wrong button or keys, the aircraft could explode!

    Yet, Qin Feng did not meddle with the controls. Instead, he put on a set of eyepatches and a helmet.

    That was a set of equipment linking to one¡¯s consciousness.

    In an instant, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness merged with the aircraft. He felt as though the wings and engines were now his body, and that the weapons had be his limbs.

    In a pinch of focus, Qin Feng fired his two cannon shells at his targets.

    These were solid, non-energy based shells. Thus, they were not as high-tech as the calvaries. Yet, these babies were still quite destructive.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    The fired cannon shells darted through the air and curved down onto two ultra beasts.

    Indeed, these turtles were all beast emperor type. And there were eleven of them in total.

    These were Decamillennium Turtles, or in short ¡°Deca Turtles¡±. And as their names implied, each one of these monsters had lived for over ten thousand years.

    These turtles were giant warriors that were quite formidable in the water. However, they did not evolve to have water based runes on them; thus, all they had were sturdy turtle shells and powerful jaws.

    Thus, when they left the waters, these Deca Turtles were nothing but easy targets!

    Boooom!

    Booom!!

    Massive explosions instantly turned the two Deca Turtles over on their backs.

    Whoosh!!!! Boooom!!

    And another shot from the aircraft, turning another Deca Turtle over.

    Qin Feng¡¯s attacks were carefully calcted, aiming all his shots at the turtles¡¯ feet.

    Thus, in mere minutes, the rest of the Deca Turtles were now all facing the sky with all their feet in the air. They could not move at all now, posing no threat whatsoever to humanity.

    Jin Fei, Guo Guan and the E-tier pilot¡¯s jaws were rolling on the ground as they watched this.

    Indeed, it was possible to do this. Yet, to actually do this, it would require a mix of sharply-tuned skills and luck.

    Was this guy a gunner?!

    So, Qin Feng was not just an ability user but also an ancient warrior that double-majored in skills? He could even shoot like that?

    The more Guo Guan looked at it, the more mysterious Qin Feng was to him.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft flew closer to the beast emperors, hovering hundreds of meters above them. The Deca Turtles¡¯ massive bodies were so close to him that he could almost kiss them.

    Of course, Qin Feng was not trying to observe the turtles in close range. He was intending to absorb the turtles. And he feared that he might not be able to do it properly from afar.

    When he got close, Qin Feng focused his thoughts as several rays of energy burst out.

    Pssst!!

    The energy rays fell toward the Deca Turtles¡¯ heads. The turtles seemed to have sensed danger and instantly pulled their heads back into their turtle shells.

    Thus, all the energy rays hit on their shells instead, causing no damage to the turtles.

    However, Qin Feng had foreseen this and had prepared a hand for it.

    ¡°Refract Shot!¡±

    His consciousness turned into a massive mirror and led the energy rays to burst toward it. As the rays hit on the mirror, it directed them toward the Deca Turtles.

    Thus, the energy rays had been shot straight into the holes of the turtle shells. Then...

    Booom!!!

    The turtle shells exploded. Flesh and shell fragments darted out miles into the air, giving one a glimpse of just how powerful the explosion inside the shells were. Naturally, this had hurt the Deca Turtles tremendously.

    ¡°Refract Shot! It¡¯s a Refract Shot!¡±

    Guo Guan¡¯s eyes were so widened that it felt as though his eyeballs wanted to climb out of his eye sockets to watch closely what was going on outside.

    Refract Shot was a high tier technique amongst the D-tier aptitude users. However, it was quite difficult to master. Even to this day, there were only a handful of C-tiers who knew how to do it.

    And the reason was simple, really.

    The projectiles that could be used for Refract Shots were often energy beams. And the beams were not only strong, they were fast¡ªmaking it difficult for one to control their aim.

    Nheless, this was a really valuable technique to master. Refract Shot could alter the projectiles¡¯ direction, making it quite difficult to predict their trajectory. If one were to use this in a gunfight, it could end an opponent¡¯s life before he even sees where the shots came from.

    Not only that, if the enemies were also using energy beams, the Refract Shot users could also deflect the oing attacks too, making them virtually invisible in a gunfight.

    Of course, as mentioned earlier, to master Refract Shot would require a lot of training. If one¡¯s focus was not honed to perfection, it would be almost impossible to pull it off.

    ¡°Refra... Refract Shot...!!! How... How did Mr Qin do it? How could he have such powerful focus?!¡± that E-tier pilot cried out in disbelief.

    ¡°Idiot! Boss is an ability user. So, it¡¯s natural for him to have this kind of focus!¡±

    Guo Guan, too, was in awe at the disy of Refract Shot. However, it did not take long before he realized that Qin Feng was an ability user so he quickly showcased his brownnosing toward his boss. Of course, Qin Feng had no time to entertain him.

    As the main cannons and sub-cannons lit up again, the aircraft started to rain another round of shots from above.

    Psssstttt....!!!!!

 Chapter 452 - Decimating The Turtles

    <h4>Chapter 452: Decimating The Turtles</h4>

    Energy rays rained down from the sky at a rate that was quite difficult to follow with mortal eyes, dazzling every onlooker that was trying to observe the battle.

    Guo Guan widened his eyes in disbelief as he watched Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft maneuver. It felt as though this man was doing something impossible for a human being every single minute at the pilot seat.

    The whole aircraft was about three hundred meters in length, equipped with several heavy duty main cannons, thousands of sub-cannons and other weaponries. It would take a lot of focus for Qin Feng to pull this off.

    Yet, Qin Feng did not seem to be strained by the ordeal of piloting the aircraft using his consciousness.

    ¡°Thanks to Godwill As, I have acquired the art of multi-tasking via training. No one can top my skill in multi-tasking!¡±

    Qin Feng seemed to be quite rxed as he said this.

    ¡°Boss, let me help you!¡±

    Seeing that Qin Feng had already beaten the beast emperors to a pulp, Guo Guan hurried to one of the controls and took control of parts of the aircraft.

    However, as he merged his consciousness into the aircraft, Guo Guan could feel a very terrifying presence.

    This terror... it felt as though it was an enormous, never-ending abyss staring into his soul. This was a rather powerful consciousness that he was sensing.

    Guo Guan was a gunner. As such, he had keen and sensitive sensing ability. Qin Feng had great powers hidden within him but he had been actively hiding his powers, resulting in Guo Guan not being able to sense them until this moment

    Right now, Guo Guan felt as though he was facing a tremendously powerful ultra beast... an overwhelmingly powerful beast emperor.

    If his guesses were correct, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness and powers had already reached that of emperor level!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng took a nce at Guo Guan¡¯s consciousness. He felt as though he was looking at a weak, feeble child. The poor gunner could be easily crushed by his consciousness if he wanted.

    However, Qin Feng had taken care to provide some controls for Guo Guan. He actively let go of the sub-cannons on the left side of the aircraft and pulled Guo Guan¡¯s consciousness to them!

    The force of the pull was so great that Guo Guan could not reject it at all. He felt as though he was a toddler being pulled around by an adult straight to the left side of the aircraft.

    Guo Guan let out a dry smile as he took control of the sub-cannons and started attacking.

    Of course, his attacks were not as great as Qin Feng¡¯s. All he could do was to perform direct shots at the Deca Turtles¡¯ obvious weak spots.

    Again, perhaps it was an attempt to be considerate to Guo Guan, Qin Feng flew the aircraft lower¡ªall the way to sixty meters high. If the Deca Turtles were to turn their bodies, their tummies might actually hit the aircraft.

    Still, these giant turtles could not do much to hurt them.

    As Qin Feng¡¯s energy beam rained down again, a Deca Turtle¡¯s body was pierced through.

    Then, an enormous energy burst out of the turtle¡¯s body, feeding themselves back to Qin Feng.

    It felt as though a huge mouth was widening up as it devoured the Deca Turtle¡¯s energy.

    In an instant, Qin Feng could feel that his body had gotten stronger again. His heart was beating stronger and livelier than before.

    He could even feel that his lifespan appeared to have been extended too.

    The Deca Turtles were a rare kind of ultra beast. Their cores could prolong human lifespan.

    One core could raise one¡¯s lifespan by ten years!

    That was why many people were killing one another to grab these resources.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were beaming withughter.

    There was no way he would let others acquire these cores.

    Although increasing his own lifespan did not mean that he could avoid other kinds of untimely demise, still Qin Feng did not want to miss this opportunity.

    As the aircraft kept firing at the turtles, the onlookers could see very clearly that the aircraft¡¯s left cannons and weapons were not as efficient as the others.

    However, since the Deca Turtles were all turned over and incapacitated, there was no need to worry about them attacking back. These ultra beasts were no threat to them whatsoever.

    ¡°Guh...¡±

    Qin Feng had devoured another Deca Turtle... and another... and another...

    In just half an hour, all eleven Deca Turtles were ughtered. At the same time, Qin Feng could feel that his power had been increased by a great deal!

    Thest time he got to raise his power level like this was about a month ago.

    Yet, this time he was able to absorb eleven beast emperors in one go. The energy that he got to devour was quite huge. Thus, it was natural for him to feel a major jump in his own power.

    The battle was now over.

    Qin Feng took in a huge breath before descending the aircraft, all the way to a dozen meters above the ground!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go down. We have loads of materials to harvest!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    The others seemed to have awakened from their awe after hearing what Qin Feng said. They quickly got ready and got down from the aircraft.

    There were about, including Guo Guan, a hundred men on the aircraft. There were around thirty E-tier aptitude users and the rest of them were just janitors, cooks and cleaners.

    As such, it seemed unthinkable for them to have all the aptitude users leave the aircraft, leaving it undefended. Not only that, they did not even know what these giant turtles were called. These things were so enormous that each one of them looked like a huge vi. If they were to climb into the turtle shells, it would seem as though they had entered a massive building.

    Bai Li raised her hand and focused her Psionic power. In an instant, the beast emperors¡¯ cores, each a meter wide, appeared on the ground!

    The cores had rims of golden radiant on them, attracting the eyes of the ones who were looking at them. And there were eleven of them in total.

    Bai Li raised her hand again and moved the cores into her spatial rune equipment.

    ¡°Quick, harvest the flesh. We need to get them boarded onto the aircraft! What? We don¡¯t have enough containers? Then what are you waiting for? Get the hover copter and buy more of them. The nearest market should be minutes of flight away! Go!!¡±

    Guo Guan excitedly ordered his underlings to work. The others, at the same time, started to clean up the area with tools in their hands.

    ¡°These turtle shells can be melted and made into rune equipment. And you can cut them open vertically like this. It¡¯s easier to get their flesh this way!¡±

    The Deca Turtles had a lot of goodies on them. Qin Feng did not want to waste an inch of their corpses. Meanwhile, he also needed to be careful to not expose Bai Li¡¯s spatial dimension. As such, Qin Feng assigned everyone to dissect the Deca Turtles¡¯ shells.

    Bai Li, together with the rest of the crew, started to dissect the turtles and opened up their shells, cutting them up to pieces of three meters wide as Qin Feng put them all into the spatial rune equipment.

    Qin Feng had too many of these equipment on his hands anyway. So, it would be a waste if he did not use them here now. If there were loot that did not look particrly interesting to Qin Feng, he would toss them into the Battlegod Tomb. Xue Xingfu could handle those for him.

    Thus, Qin Feng took out one spatial rune equipment after another as he filled them up with loot.

    Suddenly, an aptitude user let out an excruciating cry and started to roll around in one of the turtle shells. His body had turned as red as blood!

    ¡°Wha... what is happening?¡±

    The others in the crew were shocked when they saw this.

    Qin Feng too took a look at the scene before letting out a cold smirk.

    He raised his hand and used his Psionic power to throw the aptitude user out of the turtle shell.

    For a while, the aptitude user kept on rolling on the ground painfully. Then, a surge of energy rose up from his body.

    This was an F-tier aptitude user. In the City of Death, people like him tended to only get janitorial jobs. Usually, they were cannon fodders in the slums. With their abilities, they could bully themoners who had no powers but due to them being weak it was not umon to be ughtered by the stronger users.

    Yet, this person¡¯s presence suddenly experienced a huge burst. And in an instant, he turned into E-tier!

    Still, despite the increase in tier, this aptitude user seemed to have suffered a great deal. His body had swelled up a lot¡ªit looked as though his whole body had be a filled balloon and he could burst into pieces at any time.

    Qin Feng clenched a fist of internal force and released it.

    ¡°Pffft!¡±

    The aptitude user¡¯s head instantly broke from his neck and shot one meter high up into the sky. Blood burst out of the aptitude user¡¯s neck like a mini fountain of blood.

 Chapter 453 - The Creeping Eyes

    <h4>Chapter 453: The Creeping Eyes</h4>

    Everyone watched with a surprised face.

    It was quitemon for a newly beheaded corpse to have blood gushing out. Yet, the blood was fountaining for quite an extended period of time.

    ¡°What... what the hell...¡±

    Guo Guan looked at the blood fountain that was bursting from the corpse in shock.

    Qin Feng, meanwhile, focused his consciousness on everyone at the scene.

    In an instant, everyone felt as though they were being red at by a really powerful ultra beast, freezing them in fear. Many of them were breathing heavily as their backs started to bend over, seemingly struggling to kneel down before Qin Feng.

    ¡°This is the flesh of D-tier beast emperors. Do you think you could take on these things¡¯ power without proper procedures? Get back to work. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll reward all of you ordingly. But no more funny ideas or else you¡¯ll suffer a fate worse than death!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were shing with a fierce glow.

    That F-tier aptitude user had sneakily taken some blood from a Deca Turtle and drunk it in one gulp!

    There were tons and tons of flesh and blood left over by the Deca Turtles. And that aptitude user was from the slums. Some people from the slums tended to be filthy thieves who would take advantage of any situation they were in.

    Still, if Qin Feng wanted, he could have helped the aptitude user to dissolve the berserking energy in his body. It was quite simple really¡ªeven Guo Guan could do the same. By doing that, he could help the aptitude user to acquire great power and he himself could get some friendlyworks in the city.

    However, Qin Feng was not one who would allow others to take advantage of him. It was simply impossible for him to allow that. Hence, he killed that little twerp without hesitation.

    And he had made an example out of that F-tier aptitude user. Seeing this, the others forfeited any selfish ideas and started to cautiously harvest the beast emperors¡¯ corpses.

    These things were prized loot. However, the culture within the City of Death was quite different than the ones outside. The good stuff was only reserved for the strong. Without the consent from the strong, it was a crime for the weak to collect these goodies.

    Guo Guan¡¯s underlings were quick to return with their hover copters. Now that the equipment to store these Deca Turtles¡¯ flesh were ready, everyone went to work at full speed.

    Nheless, these beast emperors¡¯ flesh and blood still had a strong stench, luring the other ultra beasts toe forward. They thought that these were dinner.

    Most of the people in the scene were low tier aptitude users. Thus, when they saw the ultra beasts, they were so afraid that they froze up in fear¡ªsome of them could not even stand properly with their shaking feet.

    ¡°Hol!!!¡±

    A Swiftwind Wolf crept over after giving a long howl. These wolves were wind type E-tier ultra beasts, formidable assassins in the wild. Naturally, being wolves, they tended to work in packs. This one was most certainly a scout.

    Guo Guan¡¯s face turned grim when he saw this.

    ¡°Boss, let¡¯s retreat!¡±

    Although there were still a lot of materials to harvest, Guo Guan felt that it was about time to turn tail. The ability to resist one¡¯s greed was the secret to living longer in this world.

    ¡°No! Keep on working. Hurry!¡± Qin Feng calmly ordered.

    Then, Qin Feng vanished into thin air.

    In the next instance, Qin Feng had appeared next to the Swiftwind Wolf and shed his Verdant Emperor Saber diagonally upward. The Swiftwind Wolf¡¯s head fell almost instantly.

    ¡°Growl... Howl!!¡±

    A series of howls could be heard from the distance.

    The Swiftwind Wolves had good noses and possessed the power of the wind. More importantly, they were team yers. Right after Qin Feng had in the Swiftwind Wolf¡¯s scout, the rest of the pack immediately knew what happened!

    Suddenly, there was a huge hurricane blowing up from the horizon. It felt as though there was a massive wall of wind closing in on them at great speed!

    Qin Feng squinted his eyes to look at the oing storm. With his consciousness, he could see just how many wolves wereing their way.

    It seemed that there were over thousands of them! And not only that, some of them were D-tier beast generals and a beast king!

    So that was why they dared to march onward despite sensing a great threat from Qin Feng!

    Guo Guan could not say anything this time. But he did not think that Qin Feng could handle an army of these buggers!

    ¡°Bo... Boss!!!¡±

    Yet, Qin Feng did not seem to care. Suddenly, a pair of blue, fiery wings appeared on his back! Then, the fearless man darted straight to the air and toward the wolf pack!

    He wanted to face them head on!

    Guo Guan could not help but feel that Qin Feng had lost his mind.

    Those were over thousands of Swiftwind Wolves!

    Even the C-tier aptitude users would do their best to avoid shing with an army of beasts like this!

    However, Qin Feng did not intend to do that.

    ¡°Come and get it!¡±

    A smirk appeared on Qin Feng¡¯s face as he flew straight to the wolves.

    When the Swiftwind Wolves saw Qin Feng, they immediately activated their wind runes without hesitation.

    Powerful gusts started to swirl up around him.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body started to sizzle with internal force. When the wolves¡¯ windnded on his body, loud cracks could be heard in the air but Qin Feng¡¯s body did not sustain any damage at all.

    ¡°Howl!¡±

    Swiftwind Wolf King was enraged when it saw this. It opened its jaw and shot a powerful Wind Shear Vortex at Qin Feng. These attacks were so powerful that an ordinary human could see them with their bare eyes. And they could tear hills to pieces in seconds too!

    Still, Qin Feng did not evade it. Instead, he raised his hand.

    ¡°Hellfire Ball!¡±

    A huge fireball, one that was over five meters wide, appeared above his hand and flew straight at the Wind Shear Vortex!

    Booom!

    The two attacks shed and exploded. Flickers of fire flitted in the sky with the wind like red, crimson leaves.

    The flittering fires were no ordinary fires too. Hellfires were quite difficult to put out. Much like maggots that had gotten a hold of bones, it was quite difficult for one to get rid of them when these fires hadnded on their bodies.

    In an instant, the Hellfire had rained down upon the Swiftwind Wolves.

    From afar, Qin Feng felt like he was watching huge fireworks exploding in the air and its sparks flittered down. And then, waves of fire bloomed out on the ground as the Swiftwind Wolves yelped painfully.

    Qin Feng raised his hand again.

    ¡°Decaying Rain!¡±

    The skies suddenly turned dark and gloomy, almost as dark as the cloak of night. Then, ck-colored, heavy rain started pouring down onto the Swiftwind Wolves. The wolves¡¯ painful yelps turned into excruciating cries.

    Their hides and bones started to wither and dpose. Such was the power of the Decaying Rain.

    Thousands of ultra beasts? So what? They all perished almost in the blink of an eye by Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    Guo Guan and the others watched the battle with their jaws rolling on the ground; they could not believe what they had just witnessed.

    ¡°Wow, it¡¯s no wonder these aptitude users are so prideful. They could kill off thousands of ultra beasts in an instant!¡±

    With great power like this, even if he did not go out of the city and ughter ultra beasts for the Dark Coalition, the coalition would still treat him like royalty.

    Besides, if an aptitude user like this were to go berserk, the City of Death could turn into Ruins of Death overnight!

    As everyone was in awe and deep in their thoughts, Qin Feng¡¯s work with the Swiftwind Wolves was done.

    After witnessing Qin Feng¡¯s might, the Swiftwind Wolf King quickly turned tail and fled. Yet, in less than a second, Qin Feng had already caught up to it. As a fuchsia re shed in the air, Qin Feng had cut the beast king down with his Verdant Emperor Saber!

    As the Swiftwind Wolf King fell lifelessly on the ground, a surge of energy was absorbed into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    It was not much but it was enough to help Qin Feng ascend to a higher tier. Now, he was a D7-tier aptitude user!

    In just a month¡¯s time, Qin Feng had already gotten the power of eleven Deca Turtles and a beast king, giving him a huge leap in strength. Qin Feng was very satisfied with this result.

    And Qin Feng¡¯s ascension to a higher tier was also witnessed by everyone who was watching from afar. They almost went numb from the shock of witnessing a series of miracles!

    A momentter, there were still a few hordes of ultra beasts marching toward their direction. The corpses of the Deca Turtles were, after all, a delicacy that was quite difficult for these ultra beasts to give up. Needless to say, Qin Feng had ughtered them all too.

    Meanwhile, the C-tiers that were stealthily hiding from afar were watching with great envy, seemingly about to strike at any time!

    The City of Death was not far away. As soon as the dimensional rift opened, the city too had caught wind of it and sent their men to check up on the phenomenon. These scouts, when they arrived, saw Qin Feng at the scene attacking the Swiftwind Wolves but they did not dare to help him.

    And they were also quite shaken when they saw all of the dead D-tier beast emperors.

    These were the cores and flesh of the Decamillenium Turtles.

    If given the opportunity, all of them would jump out to grab them all for themselves!

 Chapter 454 - Have You No Shame

    <h4>Chapter 454: Have You No Shame</h4>

    Naturally, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had noticed these people in the shadows.

    He let out a smirk.

    These people were smart to not leap out and rob them. Well, even if they did that, Qin Feng would not mind killing more today. He could absorb their internal energy this way.

    A momentter, the aircraft had departed.

    The aptitude users that were hiding in the dark saw the machineries and got quite curious about them. After all, they werete when they got here¡ªthey only got to witness Qin Feng taking out the wolves, not how he bombarded the Deca Turtles with the aircraft.

    The aircraft was not able to fly into the City of Death. So, as usual, Qin Feng parked it in the factory again before heading back to his vi with Bai Li to rest.

    It was then, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator started ringing.

    It was Chen Xiang.

    ¡°Commander, Longchuan City has fallen!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Qin Feng was surprised to hear the news.

    If he remembered it correctly, in the timeline before he was reborned, Longchuan City would still be standing by this time. How could it fall to the hands of the enemies?¡±

    That was the city where most of the important figures in the authorities lived!

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Didn¡¯t they have an A-tier aptitude user? How did the city get attacked? And has the A-tier aptitude user not arrived yet?¡± Qin Feng asked all of his questions in one go.

    Chen Xiang shrugged and answered, ¡°Cui Lian was there but he was murdered!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    This time, Qin Feng waspletely shocked!

    Chen Xiang, not intending to beat around the bush, continued on, ¡°They used that energy ray that killed Gao Yukang. And Cui Lian was too careless. He floated to the air and tried to use his consciousness on them, asking them to surrender. Yet, they took him down in one coordinated shot...¡±

    Qin Feng was so speechless after hearing this!

    Was Cui Lian retarded?!

    It was quitemon knowledge by now that Gao Yukang died this way. And now he was giving them the chance to pull the same killing blow on him?!

    Or perhaps, Cui Lian did not know who Gao Yukang was¡ªmost A-tier aptitude users usually did not care about the death of one C-tier.

    Nheless, the Grans¡¯ technology was quite impressive.

    Qin Feng remembered that in the timeline before he was reborn, Cui Lian was able to sneak into the Floating City and murder a lot of people there. And yet now, why had he be so thick and reckless?

    Perhaps, the one that changed it all was Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was a D-tier aptitude user. And yet, he was able to stop the Grans¡¯ invasion.

    This gave the public a general perception of the Grans¡¯ strength¡ªweaker than a D-tier.

    At the same time, Cui Lian was an A-tier aptitude user. He could obliterate an army of C-tiers. As such, he was not afraid of the Grans that were supposedly so much weaker than him.

    Thus... he was shot down by the Grans in one go.

    ¡°So, how does the Human Alliance intend to handle this?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know. However, I think even the A-tiers would not dare toe anymore. So, the alliance would most probably use the human wave attack?¡±

    Using the human wave strategy would mean that there would be a lot of people dying in the battle. This meant that the alliance was desperate.

    ¡°Or, they could just give them thend?¡±

    This meant that the alliance would just allow the Grans to settle in Longchuan while the humans moved out of the city.

    To the humans, there was not much loss if they did this. After all, Longchuan was just a city on the frontlines. And they had a lot of other cities like this one.

    However, these were not something Qin Feng needed to worry about. Instead, he was thinking about the Floating City.

    The Floating City... this was such an attractive ce. It had a mobile fortress and powerful machineries. If he could acquire them, his personal strength might not increase by a lot but his personal army here could benefit from them.

    They could literally go anywhere with no bounds.

    Back then, due to Cui Lian being still around, Qin Feng did not intend toy his hands on the Floating City. However, now with Cui Lian gone, no one was going to take down the Floating City.

    If this were the case, this meant that Qin Feng had a chance to take it for himself.

    Of course, to do that, Qin Feng needed to raise his strength more.

    Well, that did not take long though!

    ¡°Keep an eye on Longchuan for me. Especially the Floating City!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Yes, sir!¡± Chen Xiang acknowledged.

    After they finished talking, Qin Feng pulled his attention back to the situation at hand.

    In a brief scan with his conscious energy, Qin Feng was able to see the eleven Deca Turtle cores in his training room.

    ¡°These would be enough for me to ascend once more!¡±

    Thus, Qin Feng put his hand on one of the cores.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    In an instant, Qin Feng¡¯s body was strengthened once more. A surge of power flowed in his body as his heart beat firmly. Each heartbeat was like the sound of drums.

    Although Qin Feng was still at the peak of his prime, he could feel that his body had grown past the supposedly ¡°prime¡± part of his age. All the cells in his body had be rejuvenated!

    His lifespan was extended again.

    Qin Feng quickly checked with his consciousness and learned that his puberty stage had been extended. Now, his body would experience puberty and continue to develop until he was twenty years old instead of eighteen years old.

    This also meant that his fully matured adult form would be around fifty years old.

    The potential within Qin Feng¡¯s body had gotten bigger and deeper now. He could develop his own strength naturally even more.

    And that was not all. He would not stop with just one core.

    Thus, the Deca Turtle cores got absorbed into Qin Feng¡¯s body one by one.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body had now been enhanced to its full potential. As such, absorbing these cores again would just extend his lifespan¡ªit would seem quite wasteful to others. Still, Qin Feng did not hesitate and absorbed them all.

    Getting a longer lifespan was something no one would reject.

    As such, Qin Feng did not wait until he was in his elderly age. Instead, he absorbed them all now.

    In an instant, his body¡¯s strength grew stronger and stronger.

    Vo!

    He was now D8-tier!

    He had ascended twice in just one day!

    It was not umon for people to advance several tiers in one go. So long as they had a lot of good resources, it was not impossible for one to leap from D-tier to C-tier in an instant.

    Walking out of his training room, Qin Feng felt really refreshed. Now, he was nning his next destination.

    He did not intend to stay long in the City of Death. This dreadful city was just one of his stepping stones.

    Suddenly, Jin Fei hurried into the hallway from the living room. When he saw Qin Feng, he anxiously reported, ¡°Boss, we have some rather... unfriendly visitors. Ms Bai is handling them right now.¡±

    The smile on Qin Feng¡¯s face immediately faded as he walked into the living room. The atmosphere there was quite intense. Bai Li was suppressing the five visitors with her powerful presence.

    ¡°Ms Bai,e on now. Let¡¯s y nice so we all get along!¡± a C-tier aptitude user opened his mouth, ¡°My offer was a fair one. I am offering 300 billion credits for just one beast emperor core. It is a fair price, if I would say so myself. And you¡¯ve got eleven cores. Come on. What¡¯s the harm in selling us just one or two of them?¡±

    ¡°Yeah. And this is the best deal you could get. 300 billion credits is the maximum price you can get in the market.¡±

    Bai Li looked at them coldly. ¡°Even if I sell you ten of them, the most I would get is 3 trillion credits. How pitiful. What? You think I don¡¯t have this kind of money?¡±

    The five visitors were tongue-tied after hearing Bai Li¡¯s words.

    ¡°Ms Bai, if you want to keep on living here in the City of Death, it would be best for you to share things. It¡¯s not proper manners to be this selfish!¡±

    Bai Li responded, ¡°These cores are my hard-earned loot. So, it¡¯s natural for me to just use them myself. And now you want to grab them from me? Have you no shame?¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled at Bai Li¡¯s humorous description of the situation at hand.

 Chapter 455 - Opposition Must Be Killed

    <h4>Chapter 455: Opposition Must Be Killed</h4>

    With Qin Feng¡¯s chuckle, the others naturally noticed his presence.

    ¡°Mr. Qin! How arrogant you are!¡± A C-tier said in a tone that dripped acid, sitting down with one leg over the other and not standing up.

    Qin Feng walked over and stood beside Bai Li, holding her shoulders as if he was supporting her, and sneered at the C-tiers.

    ¡°Get up and get out!¡±

    Qin Feng was not nning on being polite at all.

    These people came to buy the Deca Turtle¡¯s crystal core, not to say that he did not have one now but even if he did he was not nning on selling it.

    The five C-tiers¡¯ expressions suddenly fell, they did not expect Qin Feng to be so merciless.

    ¡°What? You want me to force you out?¡± Qin Feng let out a chillingugh, his consciousness was getting stronger and stronger as it reached a terrifying height that began to put pressure on these C-tiers.

    This was the will of a beast emperor.

    The faces of these C-tiers began to pale, but they did not n on letting this opportunity slip from them and were thinking of something else to say.

    At this moment, Jin Fei burst through the door.

    ¡°Boss, there¡¯s a guest from the city duke¡¯s mansion!¡± A flustered Jin Fei said.

    Then, a ck-robed man who clearly had the presence of a C-tier aptitude user walked in.

    The other C-tiers saw this obvious signal and were caught off guard, they all stood up.

    The ck-robed man swept his gaze across the C-tiers and even through the cloak, he could guess the intention of these other C-tiers.

    The man then spoke in a deep voice, ¡°I have something to discuss with Mr. Qin, the rest of you cane back tomorrow if you have any business with him!¡±

    The City of Death was like the city duke¡¯s own home, so these people understood that the ck-robed man had the same intention as they did. They were here to set boundaries, but they themselves had no way to do it.

    But the thought of the arrogant Qin Feng not being able to act arrogant made them pleased at his misfortune and all gave him a mischievous look.

    ¡°Oh, since it¡¯s someone from the city duke¡¯s mansion then we¡¯lle tomorrow!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s farewell for now, we should not be dying the duke¡¯s business!¡±

    These people, who were originally like stubborn taffy, all suddenly dispersed.

    Now, only the ck-robed man remained.

    He looked at Qin Feng and said, ¡°Hand over all the Deca Turtle¡¯s crystal cores!¡±

    Qin Feng put on an indifferent face and responded coldly, ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    The person did not expect Qin Feng to be so ignorant and sneered, ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t think just because you¡¯re some kind of untouchable miracle that can defy all the odds that you can be so selfish. The City of Death kindly took you in, it¡¯s time that you show some appreciation!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯ve been in the City of Death for so long and have gained a lot. The first time you used your tricks to get yourself arge pile of money, the city duke turned a blind eye. Consider that a mercy from thew!¡±

    ¡°Those who are acquainted, take out those cores and honor the duke so you may survive in the City. Otherwise, you will die if you provoke the duke!¡±

    This ck-robed man¡¯s words started to sound like a threat after thatst statement.

    Qin Feng let out a sarcastic huff, ¡°That¡¯s the funniest joke I¡¯ve ever heard, the City of Death having mercy. Since when did the City of Death understand what mercy is?¡±

    ¡°Andw? Since when did the city havews?¡±

    ¡°As for whether or not I have the core, whether I live or not, that¡¯s none of your concern!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze became absolutely chilling.

    The rules in the City of Death were different from that of the Human Alliance¡¯s.

    It was said before that if the weak were to gain treasures, they would be watched. Only the strong deserved good things.

    Right now, Qin Feng was considered as part of the weak.

    Unfortunately, the weak would also resist and if they had the power to resist, they might be a piece of iron that could not be bitten off!

    Qin Feng¡¯s voice rang out again, this time carrying a murderous intent.

    ¡°That¡¯s because you¡¯re not going back!¡±

    He punctuated that sentence with a violent strike, mming his palm toward the ck-robed man.

    This man had no idea that Qin Feng would attack and suddenly, he was furious. He was strong enough to be an agent for the city duke and Qin Feng dared to attack him.

    Powerful internal force erupted into the surrounding area and the man also raised his palm.

    Boom!

    The two¡¯s internal forces mmed against one another and in that instant, the surrounding sofas and coffee table all turned into fragments and Jin Fei was tossed out with this powerful wave of energy.

    They found themselves at a stalemate with their palm strikes, but at that moment silver light suddenly appeared all around the ck-robed man.

    Bai Li unexpectedly pulled a whip out of nowhere, the man did not even realize when she did it as she whipped at his body.

    Fwip, crack, crack, crack, crack!

    The internal force around the man dissipated instantly and a spatial crack appeared behind him.

    He quickly began to retreat.

    Pop pop pop pop!

    Cracks appeared all around, it was better if the man had not moved as it looked like he had been attacked by a spear, his abdomen perforated with five holes.

    The ck robe was stained with blood and became even more tattered.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and a beam of darkness shot out toward the figure.

    It was a Dark Ray.

    Under the cover of powerful Dark runes, the aura of the ck-robed man was suddenly weakened.

    Now, regardless of whether he was a powerful C-tier, the most powerful disy of strength that the ck-robed man could unleash was only D-tier.

    After being shrouded by such weakness, the ck-robed person realised that the situation had turned sour and the face under his cloak finally changed.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you dare!¡±

    He uttered a threat, but he did not hesitate to move and bolt straight for the door.

    He knew that if he did not run now, he would die.

    Just before he reached the door, his form shifted and instantly found himself facing Qin Feng again, appearing right in front of his attacker.

    It was Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability.

    At this time, Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber was already in mid swing.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    The head of the man was sent flying high.

    While everything seemed to move slowly, in reality the start till the end of the fight onlysted about a minute. Qin Feng and Bai Li had a tacit understanding of one another, unleashing a sudden, unexpected outburst that could not be defended against.

    The ck-robed man instantly died.

    Jin Fei was injured, but it was not fatal. At this time, he struggled to crawl over and saw the ck-robed man¡¯s body drop to the ground.

    A huge wave of horror washed over his body.

    As bold as he was, as someone who would have countless future achievements, he would have never thought of taking on one of the City of Death¡¯s duke¡¯sckeys.

    After all, the presence of the ck-robed men were deeply rooted in the hearts of the city¡¯s inhabitants as they exuded mystery and fear.

    ¡°Boss, you, you... how could you kill him?!¡± Jin Fei trembled as he spoke.

    Qin Feng seemed extremely calm.

    ¡°Why can¡¯t I kill him?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s... he¡¯s the... he¡¯s from the city duke¡¯s mansion! The city duke! The duke is going to get offended!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a chillingugh, ¡°Opposition must be killed! I don¡¯t care if he¡¯s a city duke, the skies and seas are wide. I wonder if he can cover the sky with his hand?¡±

    Jin Fei was stunned.

    Qin Feng¡¯s self-confidence being revealed like this made Jin Fei feel embarrassed.

    Even the fear that the ck-robed men and the city duke originally had over him was instantly shattered by Qin Feng.

    The fear was gradually reced by a firm gaze.

    ¡°I understand, Boss. What¡¯s the next step? Destroy the body?¡±

    Qin Feng simply said, ¡°Move!¡±

    Jin Fei was confused.

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    ¡°The next step is to leave of course! Are you waiting for a B-tier toe knocking or something?¡±

    Jin Fei¡¯s mouth was agape, he thought that Qin Feng was someone who could back up the amount of pride he had but now he learned that Qin Feng was a murderous escapee!

 Chapter 456 - B-Tier Incoming

    <h4>Chapter 456: B-Tier Iing</h4>

    ¡°But how are we going to get out? The City of Death is currently locked down!¡± Jin Fei said worriedly.

    Qin Feng gave Bai Li a nce, who then lifted her hand and caused a crack of silver light to appear mid-air as she opened up a spatial passage in front of them.

    Jin Fei was shocked when he saw this!

    Although he knew that Bai Li possessed a spatial whip, he did not expect that she would be able to make spatial passages with a wave of her hand.

    He stepped through it in a daze and found himself standing in front of the factory outside of the city.

    This still was not very far from the City of Death, the city duke could catch up to them at any moment.

    Qin Feng scanned the area with his consciousness and found that Guo Guan and Guo Song were both inside the aircraft. One of them was practicing in the training room while the other was inspecting machinery.

    He poured his consciousness into their minds.

    ¡°I n to leave the city immediately. Do you two want to go with me?¡± he said, ¡°Hurry up and make a choice!¡±

    After saying that, Bai Li instantly took him and Jin Fei to the control room.

    Guo Guan jumped,pletely unaware of what was going on.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter Boss, why are you leaving all of a sudden?¡±

    Jin Fei immediately said, ¡°The city duke sent someone to grab the Deca Turtle¡¯s crystal core, but Boss didn¡¯t agree to it!¡±

    Such things were verymon in the City of Death. Guo Guan never had such incidents before but Qin Feng was letting him make the decision.

    Originally, Guo Guan was just waiting for his retirement in the City of Death, but that was before. Qin Feng built the aircraft. If he went with Qin Feng, then he would be driving the aircraft most of the time.

    It could be said that this kind of aircraft was Guo Guan¡¯s ultimate offense and absolute defense.

    This kind of question would only have one answer.

    ¡°I¡¯m naturally following the boss of course!¡±

    At this time, Guo Song rushed over and quickly asked what was going on.

    After Guo Guan exined, Guo Song naturally went along with it and did not hesitate to join Qin Feng.

    Even if Qin Feng was just a D-tier now, it would not be long before he had a breakthrough into C-tier.

    They recognized his strength.

    ¡°Then, let¡¯s set off now!¡± Qin Feng said before immediately clicking a button to open up the map and pointing at a location, ¡°To Psipur!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Guo Guan quickly set in the coordinates and they began their journey.

    Psipur was not in China¡¯s region. After the apocalypse, their civilization regressed for almost a hundred years due to their jungle conditions. All established settlements were tribalistic in nature and they had also established a system based on heredity. The chiefs were the strongest of them all and would gain the lion¡¯s share of all the resources.

    In terms ofnguage, it was difficult tomunicate effectively with them but it was a ce where the Dark Coalition and the Human Alliance could enter.

    There was no other reason other than the fact thatmunicators had no signal there.

    As such, the Bounty Hunter Network could not operate there and the Human Alliance went there because the best spirit herbs were sold there.

    Qin Feng did not n on going there because he wanted to hide or buy herbs, it was because he could remember from his past that there was opportunity there.

    As he got stronger, the ces he could go to gradually increased.

    Psipur was such a ce.

    As the aircraft lurched forward, a siren began to sound within half an hour.

    ¡°Boss, there¡¯s a copter right behind us!¡±

    The aircraft was not as fast as the speed of a hover copter. It was arge machine afterall.

    Qin Feng looked at radar and realized that there were five hover copters hot on their tail.

    He instantly spread out his consciousness.

    The people operating the five hover copters all felt a tingling sensation as they felt themselves getting scryed on.

    Up to thirty people had been deployed in the hunt for Qin Feng.

    Not only that, there was a B-tier in the centermost hover copter.

    After this person felt the influence of consciousness, he immediately opened his eyes and unleashed a powerful aura. The burst blocked out Qin Feng¡¯s further attempts to scry.

    However, this person would not do much against Qin Feng.

    That was because he was an ancient warrior!

    Qin Feng could not find any useful information, but that would not stop his movements.

    He shooed away the E-tier gunner in the co-pilot seat before sitting in it and putting on a consciousness controller.

    From that instant, the entire ship felt like it was part of Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Right after that, an rm sounded.

    Thebat hover copters began tounch their attack and five incredibly powerful missiles were shot toward his aircraft.

    He did not even activate the protective shield, the machinery under the aircraft was quickly exposed and also shot out five intercepting missiles.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    mes erupted from the explosions all around them!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness locked onto the five hover copters around them and sent out another volley of missiles which were intercepted again.

    The hover copters were not foolish and stopped their spray and pray attempt.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face remained stoic, save the small smirk that was slowly creeping up the corner of his mouth.

    When the missiles collided with one another, his consciousness surged and the aircraft¡¯s secondary cannon popped out and unleashed a beam of bright light.

    The beam travelled quickly and hit a hover copter in the blink of an eye.

    By the time the pilots realized what was going on it was already way toote!

    Ohm!

    Their shields immediately hit its threshold. It could hardly maintain itself for more than a second before the protective shielding was broken through and the beam speared through the hover copter.

    Boom!

    One hover copter was taken down!

    Even the people inside were seriously injured.

    Qin Feng¡¯s attacks were fast, the moment the first one was destroyed, the second one followed.

    The pilots of the hover copters were all C-tier gunners, and could not believe what they were seeing when they saw Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    ¡°Consciousness Refraction?! How is that possible?¡±

    Refracting shells was something they understood, gunners could control their projectiles with their mind.

    Refracting energy beams? That was impossible for them!

    When they tried to avoid the energy beam, Qin Feng used his consciousness to reflect the beam from one direction back toward its target. They could avoid the first attack but not the second one!

    They were taken aback by this situation.

    Kaboom! Bang! Boom!

    Three more hover copters were destroyed. Now there was only one left and that was the one carrying the B-tier!

    ¡°Trash. All of them!¡±

    The city duke¡¯s face hardened.

    ¡°Rush at them! Full speed ahead!¡¯

    The duke of the City of Death was furious, but so long as the hover copter could get close enough to the aircraft, he could jump from it andnd on top of the aircraft. He believed that if that happened, then everyone in the aircraft would die within a few minutes.

    He had no doubts about his strength.

    The C-tier piloting this hover copter was extremely talented, being able to keep his cool even under these stressful situations where hisrades were being blown up left and right. He skillfully flew the hover copter with an uncanny agility.

    However, with all other four hover copters being destroyed and no more additional firepower, Qin Feng naturally directed his attention to the remaining target.

    He pointed all of the aircraft¡¯s weapons toward thest hover copter.

    The next moment, he unleashed a full volley of everything the aircraft had at his target.

    The target had to exhaust every option, shielding, deflecting missiles and every maneuver before finally being blown up!

    The B-tier naturally would not die from something like that and the city duke directly fell out of the hover copter.

    Immediately, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness locked onto his opponent.

 Chapter 457 - The Regretful Death of a B-Tier

    <h4>Chapter 457: The Regretful Death of a B-Tier</h4>

    Although the city duke had blocked off Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness, he still could not defend entirely against him. Qin Feng might not be able to find any useful information about the duke but he could still pinpoint his location.

    The corners of Qin Feng¡¯s mouth twitched and his consciousness surged.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    The main cannon of the aircraft emitted a brilliant light.

    At this time, the city duke fell from the destroyed hover copter with an immensely strong internal force shield wrapped around him!

    In the next moment, the city duke felt a deadly threat.

    He was still surrounded by smoke and mes. He could not see the danger with his eyes. He was an ancient warrior with a powerful consciousness and strong perception, but he still could not ¡®see¡¯ things that were too far away.

    A beam of light suddenly shot through the smoke and instantly hit the city duke¡¯s body.

    Even his immensely strong internal force shield was instantly shattered before the light speared right through his body.

    In the thick smoke, a figure dropped from the sky.

    Qin Feng piloted the airship and flew it forward, flying above the area where the city duke was.

    Numerous electronic scanners allowed them to quickly find the body.

    There was a gaping hole in his chest that was still smoking from the attack. The body had been caught by a branch of a huge tree and was hanging there, still staring at the sky.

    When the corpse appeared on the scanner, Guo Guan¡¯s eyes widened and he could not believe it!

    ¡°That¡¯s... that¡¯s...¡±

    His tongue was in a knot! He did not know what to say.

    ¡°You know them?¡± Qin Feng took off the consciousness controller.

    ¡°He... he...¡± Guo Guan¡¯s voice trembled.

    Qin Feng then said, ¡°Looks like that really is the city duke! I didn¡¯t kill the wrong guy!¡±

    The corner of Qin Feng¡¯s mouth turned into a smirk.

    ¡°What?!¡± Jin Fei and the other gunners all stared at the dead body with wide eyes. Then an absurd idea appeared in their heads.

    This, this killed a B-tier?

    By using this very aircraft?

    Goodness! This was not something that people could even imagine.

    How strong was a B-tier? One could raze a city with the flick of a hand but now this one was dead in the wild, his body hanging on a tree.

    Qin Feng ignored the shock of these people and immediately ordered, ¡°Bai Li, bring up the corpse. Let¡¯s see if the city duke has anything good on him!¡±

    It was a big boss after all.

    If it were someone else, they would have been very excited after killing the City of Death¡¯s duke but Qin Feng remained calm, even when he had never done this in his past life!

    Bai Li¡¯s consciousness shifted and a spatial rune appeared. Then, the body of the B-tier ancient warrior suddenly appeared on the aircraft.

    The energy in the other¡¯s dantian had notpletely dissipated yet and Qin Feng quietly absorbed it while he was pretending to search the body.

    When an ancient warrior had reached C-tier, their clusters of internal force would change from being like a ssh of liquid into a pond. When they reach B-tier, that pond would be ake!

    A hugeke. One could only imagine how powerful this man¡¯s internal force was.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion instantly absorbed twenty segments of that pool into his body. His internal force was now thirty times stronger than someone of the same rank, that was the equivalent of 3kes, which was like a B3-tier ancient warrior.

    But he had not condensed this power yet. He was powerful but his physical body was not able to show his inner strength. He was still D8-tier in terms of power.

    He was not too far away from C-tier now!

    Qin Feng flicked a finger and hell me burned the body of the city duke, quickly turning it into ashes.

    What remained were only a few inner armor and his spatial rune equipment!

    ¡°Bingo!¡±

    After a little investigating, he found five more spatial rune equipment. This city duke really was very rich!

    Of course, if anyone could kill Qin Feng now, it would be normal to find more than a dozen spatial rune equipment on him!

    Qin Feng peered into it and was shocked by what he found.

    The city duke had more than 30 trillion in just energy credits! Not to mention, there were different kinds of crystal cores and materials.

    ¡°Huh, why did youe after me, city duke? If you didn¡¯t, you might still have had the chance to enjoy all these treasures.¡± Qin Feng said.

    Guo Guan and the others just stared at where the city duke used to be. Qin Feng was still speaking like normal and they had no clue how to express their feelings.

    ¡°Boss, maybe he was doing it for the sake of saving face. You killed his subordinate and challenged his authority, so he decided toe out himself to teach you a lesson!¡± Jin Fei said.

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°So we did everything we could then!¡±

    Guo Guan¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that no one would have thought of it!¡±

    For the City of Death¡¯s duke, a B2-tier ancient warrior, would killing a D-tier aptitude user not be as simple as squishing an ant?

    Who would have thought that this ant carried with it a lethal toxin and bit back, killing the duke instead.

    ¡°Alright, stop crowding around here and clean this up. We¡¯re going to keep moving!¡±

    The surrounding people moved, but in their minds, Qin Feng had already reached the mountain¡¯s peak and ascended into godhood!

    ¡°Boss, we¡¯re going back to the City of Death now?¡± Guo Guan asked.

    ¡°Why go back?¡±

    Qin Feng had never thought of going back.

    Guo Guan said, ¡°But boss, you killed the city duke. If we go back, we can inherit his position as the City of Death¡¯s new duke. Then the entire city would be ours!¡±

    These thoughts would excite people, infinitely inting one¡¯s desires.

    The City of Death was too profitable.

    From gambling in the Secret Tower of Death to even a ticket needed to enter the city.

    The whole ce was a money making machine.

    ¡°The body¡¯s gone. I say I¡¯ve killed the duke of the City of Death, would other people buy that? Even if they did, wouldn¡¯t other Dark Coalition peoplee for me? We just killed a B-tier from the City of Death, do you n to kill another one? And what if they send more than one?¡±

    Guo Guan hung his head dejectedly as if he was just sshed with cold water.

    That made sense.

    Although Qin Feng killed the City of Death¡¯s duke, it was because of luck for the most part!

    If another B-tier were toe, it could be impossible to seed.

    There were still other factions established by other B-tier bosses around the City but they did not raise idlers or make colonies. They were a group of aptitude users working together, facing down the Human Alliance from time to time, and raiding their loot transports.

    But that did not mean these people were weak.

    On the contrary, there were quite a few B-tier aptitude users among them.

    These people were all staring covetously at the City of Death. If Qin Feng went back to take the position of city duke, would he not get headhunted?

    If that were the case, why bother with all the trouble?

    Thinking of this, Guo Guan made a decision. So long as he followed Qin Feng, all would be well.

    The aircraft resumed its journey and finally arrived at Psipur after four days!

 Chapter 458 - Psipurâ€™s Crisis

    <h4>Chapter 458: Psipur¡¯s Crisis</h4>

    Kong kong kong!

    Someone knocked on the door of Qin Feng¡¯s luxurious room.

    However, he ignored it as he was still in the training room, absorbing the internal force of the B-tier ancient warrior.

    20 clusters of internal force werepressed into 4 clusters.

    Heposed himself and walked out of the training room.

    By then, Bai Li had already opened the door.

    ¡°Jin Fei said that we¡¯ve arrived at Psipur, but if we keep going forward we¡¯ll end up passing the Psipur¡¯s sentry towers. He¡¯s asking if we should keep going or not!¡± Bai Li said.

    Qin Feng flipped on hismunicator and issued amand.

    ¡°Find a ce tond!¡±

    ¡°Roger that!¡± Guo Guan replied.

    The channel these two were on was the aircraft¡¯s ownmunication channel.

    There were many people on the aircraft, but there was not enough food for everyone, so stopping for some resupply in Psipur was in order.

    After finding a safe ce tond outside of Psipur, Guo Guan immediately ordered the men on board to release beast repellent powder in the surrounding area to ensure their safety.

    Qin Feng took Bai Li with him and got off the ship.

    Compared to the oppressive environment of the City of Death, the outskirts of Psipur was almost like paradise on Earth.

    ¡°We¡¯ll take a break here, and send someone ahead to buy some supplies. We left so quickly that we did not have time to prepare anything!¡± Qin Feng said.

    When the people on the aircraft received the news, they all began to move. Jin Fei did not idle and volunteered to join the mission and to head off to Psipur to buy supplies.

    Not long after the group left, Qin Feng suddenly felt the ground beneath him shake violently, causing the trees to sway.

    Guo Guan, who was also outside, was taken aback by the situation.

    ¡°Earthquake?¡±

    Yes, it indeed felt like an earthquake.

    Qin Feng was a little shaken!

    ¡®How could it start now? It should be at least a week or so before that would happen!¡± He thought, but he did not slow down.

    ¡°Get back to the aircraft!¡±

    The people who came out to spread the beast repent quickly ran back into the airship and Guo Guan began to raise the aircraft.

    As soon as they left, the ground stopped shaking again.

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just a small earthquake?¡± Guo Guan did not understand what was going on.

    ¡°Hold your position. Assess the situation first and don¡¯t lower the aircraft!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Right!¡± Guo Guan nodded. Although human beings had evolved into a powerful state, they were still afraid of natural disasters.

    As such, in order to avoid any incidents, the aircraft had to stay levitated!

    Qin Feng had a lot of capital, this kind of energy consumption did not even phase him.

    An hourter, Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft received an iing call from Jin Fei, who reported that the road was blocked.

    ¡°Boss, the road¡¯s blocked. There¡¯s a small bug wave heading toward Psipur. What¡¯s weird is that they¡¯re all plow worms!¡±

    Plow worms were basically gigantic earthworms. They could be found anywhere and the strongest ones were E-tier.

    E-tier plow worms were also very scary. If these monsters were to enter a city, they could break its foundations within a day.

    What Jin Fei found as strange was that these creatures did not live in groups.

    Qin Feng immediately understood when he heard the news. It seemed that he had not guessed wrongly.

    That event really happened! Perhaps he had just witnessed a sign of it.

    Qin Feng clearly remembered that in the year before his rebirth, something important happened to Psipur.

    A huge spatial rift appeared underground, near the city.

    Rifts could appear anywhere, even underground.

    Not only that, a type of mineral was also squeezed out of the rift.

    This kind of mineral was very valuable, at least on Earth. They were called Gaea Crystals, and just a nail-sized piece would be worth 1 billion!

    These squeezed veins would cause earthquakes to ur and countless amounts of insectoids to appear after.

    These insectoids all had the ability to burrow through the earth, destroying thend!

    The underground outside of Psipur ended up bing a massive passage, extending in all directions that eventually led to the spatial rift in the middle.

    As such, more and more insectoids appeared in Psipur, but more and more people arrived as well because of the crystals.

    As such, fiercebat arose between the two forces. Combat that was as intense as Longchuan¡¯s.

    It was not until three yearster that someone would get caught by some irond ants and be brought to the center of the undergroundbyrinth that they had discovered the location of the hidden spatial rift and reported it to the Human Alliance.

    Since there were no more Gaea Crystals at that time, the Human Alliance sent a space stabilizing device topletely solve the issue there.

    And now, it seemed like the problem had just begun.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to force your way through, I¡¯ll see to this myself!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Okay, thanks Boss!¡±

    Letting Jin Fei force a way through on his own, Jin Fei did not have the guts for it.

    The E-tier plow worms were really strong and too big, he did not dare try to fight one.

    After ending the call, Qin Feng issued an order to Guo Guan.

    ¡°Keep afloat, Bai Li and I will go and meet up with Jin Fei!¡±

    He then took out the Sky Dweller and flew out.

    After only five minutes of flying through the air, they could see Psipur¡¯s outline. The walls were made out of giant trees which were very strong and released an aura like tear flowers did that deterred ultra beasts. There were few beasts that would try to harass Psipur¡¯s walls.

    And now, the ground swelled a thousand meters away from the city. One by one, the worms moved through the earth and the sentry tower that was close enough to notice was wrapped up by one and began to copse.

    ¡°Aah! Help! Someone help me!¡±

    The sentry was only an F-tier aptitude user, very weak in terms of strength. He had only been sent to man the tower.

    Now that disaster was on the horizon, he was unlucky person number one.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Sky Dweller swooped in, its cannons shing.

    Bzzt!

    Two rays of light shot out.

    Boom boom!

    The light rays instantly sliced through the plow worm, causing it to break in half from the middle.

    The two sides were still moving as if they were individuals. They sensed danger and immediately burrowed back underground.

    The sentry tower was temporarily relieved from the crisis.

    However there were more of those worms moving around underground. Earthquakes would ur at any time.

    If one were to observe more closely, they would notice that the ground had be uneven. The burrowing of the plow worms would make people think that the ground had been loosened.

    As such, they naturally could not have discovered the secrets underground.

    ¡°Bai Li, sense whether or not there¡¯s a spatial rift underground!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Bai Li closed her eyes then nodded. ¡°There¡¯s a small spatial rift that¡¯s fusing to the underground!¡±

    As expected!

    Now, fusion was only one step. This kind of fusion took time and did not happen in a day!

    Communicators were not popr in Psipur, this meant that even if there were an ultra beast outbreak then Psipur would not have received news of it.

    Because Qin Feng shot out the artillery fire, the watchman from the sentry tower felt extremely grateful toward his savior and desperately tried to hail him.

    Qin Feng lowered down a rope and rescued the man.

 Chapter 459 - Ah Psaiâ€™s Invitation

    <h4>Chapter 459: Ah Psai¡¯s Invitation</h4>

    ¡°Thank you, thank you sir!¡±

    After the man crawled onboard and saw Qin Feng and Bai Li, he started shivering, not expecting Qin Feng to be so tall in stature.

    Besides, someone who owned a hover copter like the Sky Dweller must be a wealthy man.

    ¡°Do you know how to pilot a hover copter?¡± Qin Feng asked in a low voice.

    ¡°Huh? Ah, yeah yeah!¡± The watchman quickly nodded. While he was only an F-tier, he was a gunner as well and had piloted hover copters before.

    Qin Feng stepped aside and allowed him into the pilot seat before jumping right out of the hover copter¡¯s cabin door.

    ¡°Ah! Sir! What are you doing?!¡±

    The person asked Bai Li in a shaky voice, after all a monster wave had broken out below!

    They were all E-tier ultra beasts with terrifying strength, and they were Plow Worms, their movements unpredictable. How could Qin Feng just have jumped down?

    When Qin Fengnded on the ground, a giant plow worm noticed him and opened its maw, trying to swallow him whole.

    But, due to his speed and agility, there was no way that these worms would have been able to even touch the corner of his clothes!

    Then, mes burst out into the sky.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    The surrounding one hundred meters were enveloped in mes.

    ¡°Skreeee!¡±

    The horrible mes caused these worms to scream the moment they made contact.

    The plow worm was huge and it was hard to get a lock on to one due to how it moved but it had low defense. After Qin Feng¡¯s Hellfire Carpet blew up around him, it immediately burned them into ashes.

    When he moved, the mes moved with him. No nts grew where he walked and he had no openings for attack.

    His consciousness was locked onto the ground below.

    ¡°Found it!¡±

    He did not miss a beat as he immediately used his consciousness to control a very small crystal which had been pulled from the plow worm¡¯s tunnel, to the surface and gently floated it into his hands.

    It was a yellow nail-sized crystal, which contained an immense amount of energy

    Gaea crystal.

    In fact, the abnormal behavior of these plow worms were also caused by the gaea crystals. While they were plowing through the earth, they could have swallowed the crystals and evolved.

    Many of the plow worms that Qin Feng killed had swallowed these crystals before, but they had not digested it yet. When he burned them all with hellfire, all that remained were these crystals and he took all of them away.

    In just a moment, Qin Feng had eradicated an extremely dangerous monster tide with his powerful ability!

    The gunner¡¯s jaw dropped, his eyes widened.

    ¡°A master ability user!¡±

    Qin Feng was without a doubt the strongest ability user that the gunner had ever seen.

    With a flick of his hand, there were mes covering a hundred meters around him. The huge worm tide could not bear this fire and were all burned to ashes.

    Just as the gunner was staring in ck-jawed awe, another sentry tower in the distance finally noticed a problem and sent out a red signal.

    This signal was actually a firework that could be only seen from the city.

    Qin Feng raised his hand to signal for the hover copter to descend and at this time, a hovercraft soon appeared.

    ¡°Boss!¡±

    It was Jin Fei! He had not been far from the area, so naturally he witnessed the entire thing.

    ¡°Send this sentry to a safe ce ahead and thene back!¡± Qin Feng ordered

    ¡°Right!¡± Jin Fei nodded

    The sentry was extremely grateful. ¡°Thank you, Sir, thank you!¡±

    This man did not just save him, but seemed to care for his well-being. Such a high-ranking person made him so excited that he did not know what to say!

    Qin Feng ignored the sentry and went back with Bai Li.

    After arriving back on the aircraft, he took out the gaea crystals he collected. He had a total of eleven pieces.

    The size between the pieces differed, the small ones were about the size of thumbnails, while the big ones were the size of fists.

    A fist-sized gaea crystal would have been worth up to tens of billions.

    The price of these items could be raised up to hundreds of billions due to how valuable they were.

    In fact, the originally estimated price of the gaea crystals were decided due to their plentiful urrence up until they ran out.

    If the topic were about the gaea crystals on Earth alone, their price could be increased by dozens of times. What was more, it was something that no aptitude user could refuse.

    For an ability user, they could evolve their ability core and increase the size of their Mutant.

    For ancient warriors, if they wanted to get from A-tier to S-tier, there needed to be a change in quality in which the gaea crystals became apulsory item.

    How could this item not causepetition between people.

    Beep beep beep!

    Hismunicator rang, he opened it to see that Jin Fei was calling him.

    ¡°Boss, Psipur¡¯s city duke wants to send someone over to thank you for your help earlier!¡± Jin Fei said.

    ¡°Oh?¡± Qin Feng thought about it for a while and said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be overter!¡±

    ¡°Bai Li, I¡¯ll be going out for a while, you can rest on the airship!¡±

    ¡°Why won¡¯t you take me there?¡± Bai Li asked curiously.

    ¡°That¡¯s because the chief of Psipur is an old pervert. I¡¯m afraid if he falls in love with you I¡¯d have to kill him!¡±

    Bai Li said with a bright smile, ¡°Then just kill him and we¡¯ll be the chiefs instead!¡±

    ¡°Okay, that¡¯s enough from you.¡±

    ¡°Got it! I was just kidding!¡± Bai Li did not mind, she would y nice and stay put!

    Qin Feng got off the aircraft, taking Jin Fei and Guo Song along, and headed off to Psipur.

    From a distance, they saw that Psipur¡¯s walls were made out of the wood from giant trees.

    Due to the year-long hot weather, the soldiers guarding the city did not have on much other than a grass skirt around their waist.

    Not only that, but when one enters the city they could also see that the women here were the same, only covered pieces of fabric.

    After they saw aptitude users they would immediately kneel on the ground as a manner of greeting.

    Such an atmosphere was terrible, Qin Feng did not want Bai Li toe here.

    Psipur¡¯s patriarchal system meant that women had a very low status. He was afraid that Bai Li might be asked to wear more exposing clothes, which meant that more people would gawk at her. That meant he would actually have to start murdering again!

    Besides, he did not want her to see such a scene.

    Soon, under the guidance of an informant, Qin Feng arrived at Psipur¡¯s castle where the chief resided.

    The chief of the city was called Ah Psai. That was just a moniker, all of the chiefs had their own titles.

    Ah Psai had dark skin, his body was small and round with a pot-belly. However, this man was no pushover. He was a wood ability user and was a C-tier.

    If someone were to look down on him, then the consequences could be deadly!

    Ah Psai was very good at making poisons!

    Qin Feng knew that after the gaea crystals appeared, Ah Psai, who was closest to the source, immediately mustered up arge collection of them and was afraid of people discovering his hoard. As such, he poisoned arge number of people before he was finally exposed.

    After all, the situation where nes were melding together was quite spectacr.

    Even then, the chief did not stop and kept killing people until he was listed as a wanted criminal by the Human Alliance.

 Chapter 460 - A Mountain Out of Nowhere

    <h4>Chapter 460: A Mountain Out of Nowhere</h4>

    ¡°Wee, my distinguished guest. It was thanks to your help that we could handle this rare urrence of the beast horde. I have prepared a small gift as a sign of gratitude. Hope you will like it.¡± Ah Psai signaled for his man to hand out the gift to Qin Feng.

    It was a wine that was filled in an elegant crystal barrel. Of course, this gift did note cheap.

    The wine was brewed using special spirit fruit found in Psipur City. One bottle of this was priced at a few ten thousand in the outside world. One barrel might be worth at least 10 million, which happened to equal the reward for killing an E-tier plow worm.

    ¡°Thanks, Chief.¡±

    Ah Psaiughed heartily. ¡°I wonder why an aptitude user of your caliber is here in Psipur? Perhaps you are also interested in the treasure rumored to be hidden in the heart of the mountain ridge?¡±

    ¡°To be honest, that¡¯s exactly my purpose here.¡± Qin Feng admitted calmly.

    Jin Fei and Guo Song were not told anything and thought that was the true objective of Qin Fenging to Psipur.

    Ah Psai¡¯sugh became louder and he said, ¡°Haha! Then I hope you get what youe here for!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his cup and drank merrily with Ah Psai.

    But on the inside, Qin Feng had long seen through the chief¡¯s true skin and scoffed at his pretentious generosity.

    There was only danger lurking in the mountains of Psipur. All the fake news about the hidden treasure was purportedly spread by none other than Ah Psai himself.

    For instance, there was a record on the battle iming that an F-tier had infiltrated the mountains before. He discovered a bone in the process, which heter found belonged to an A-tier beast emperor and earned a few ten billion.

    Another case recorded that a small expedition team went into the mountains and came across rare wild herb there. The team members turned against each other for the herbs and all ended up dead inside the mountain and were never seen again.

    Information like this was aplenty from multiple sources but Qin Feng knew they were all just smokescreen.

    A diversion created by Ah Psai. He did so because Pispur did not belong to the human alliances. He was afraid that some powerful aptitude user might fancy his colony and rob it from him.

    Thus, he diverted these aptitude users¡¯ attention by iming that there were treasures in the mountains.

    If needed, he would even go as far as to poison the visitors to protect his throne.

    Simply put, the chief of Psipur was a narrow-minded man. He clung tightly onto the position and did not want to surrender it to anyone.

    Qin Feng did not expose the man. After all, he had his own Aircraft outside of the city and had no interest in moving in.

    Ah Psai suspected nothing or perhaps he did not see Qin Feng as a great threat. Hence, he did not poison Qin Feng¡¯s wine.

    It mattered not whether Ah Psai applied the poison or not. Because anyone who entered the mountains almost always encountered miasma that was highly lethal to humans. Qin Feng would not live long anyway if his intention were really those fake treasures.

    These incidents were revealed when the Human Alliance finally decided to hunt down Ah Psai for his crime.

    But this had nothing to do with Qin Feng. Different people had different means to gain power. In exchange, they needed to prepare to face the potential consequence.

    Eventually, what goes aroundes around.

    After the feast, Qin Feng did not stay for long and returned to his aircraft.

    Ah Psai¡¯s subordinate reported back to Ah Psai immediately after he escorted Qin Feng back to the aircraft.

    ¡°Chief, I don¡¯t think that guy has any ill-intent against our city. But he owns an aircraft that I have never seen before. It looks rather high-tech.¡±

    The subordinate then showed Ah Psai the aircraft through amunicator.

    Themunicator technology of course had long reached Psipur City. He just never allowed it to poprize among his people. He had to keep people in Psipur uninformed about the outside world to maintain his authority.

    Ah Psai saw Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft and was drooling over it. But then he shook his head regrettably.

    ¡°It¡¯s too huge. We have no use for it even if we raid it from him now. Just wait and see what he is up to.¡±

    ¡°Roger!¡±

    ***

    After Qin Feng returned to the aircraft, he ordered his members to walk around freely and hunt as they like. He also gave them permission to keep the rewards.

    People from the City of Death were mostly penniless. They were especially motivated when allowed to earn extra ie.

    Even Guo Guan had picked up his gun and walked toward the mountains.

    Qin Feng did not touch the gaea crystal in the meantime. He wanted to let it umte first then only harvest them altogether.

    The next morning, seismic movements once again erupted from all directions. The quake area was evenrger this time and it approached Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft fast.

    The highway near Psipur hadpletely copsed as a result of the shock.

    Numerous insectoids emerged from the ground and once again formed a monster wave.

    Qin Feng reached the frontline earlier as always.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    Qin Feng burned the insectoids rapidly. He wanted to prevent the gaea crystals from being swallowed wastefully by the monsters.

    However, it was hard for Qin Feng to spread his consciousness too deep into the solid ground. Hence, he could not really grasp the actual situation underground.

    Still, Qin Feng was able to garner more crystals than he did yesterday.

    The same thing repeated on the third, fourth, and fifth day...

    Qin Feng continued to pile up the crystals and umted up to a trillion by the end of the fifth day.

    On the sixth day, an unprecedented earthquake broke out and shocked everyone.

    It was midafternoon and the shockwaves reached as far as Psipur City. The residents there were deeply terrified and fell into chaos.

    Qin Feng stood on top of the aircraft and looked at the far side.

    Jin Fei, Guo Guan, and Guo Song were baffled by what they saw on the horizon.

    An elevation raised from the ins out of nowhere.

    The giant mountain spanned as far as the eyes could see. Dense energy emanated out from the abruptly appearing mountain and chased numerous monsters nearby toward Qin Feng¡¯s direction.

    Jin Fei rounded his eyes. ¡°This, this is...¡± He once again felt overwhelmed and waspletely oblivious about the situation around here.

    The number of insectoids bursting out from the mountains was atrocious.

    ¡°Stay here. Bai Li, let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng did not have Bai Li by his side in thest few days. After all, the battles before werergely effortless. However, this here was on an entirely different scale now.

    The gaea crystals emerged in arge quantity along with the mountain¡¯s appearance.

    ¡°Quick! Gather as much crystal as possible,¡± Qin Feng said to Bai Li.

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    It might be difficult for others but this was just a piece of cake for Bai Li.

    Qin Feng began to climb the mountain. The peak was still elevating and a lot of rocks were rolling past him.

    He suddenly spotted a basketball-sized crystal not very far ahead.

    Qin Feng rushed to it the first time.

    This was when a bulge appeared on the ground and sent a crystal high up into the air.

    A giant plow worm emerged from the bulge and directly swallowed therge crystal into its stomach.

    The plow worm transformed instantly after it consumed the giant size crystal. Its initially soft exterior was now covered by a shell. Scales began to extend out from the shell and its head also transformed drastically from having a huge maw into a featureless face.

    The monster had evolved on the spot. It became exceptionally daunting aspared to before. From an E-tier, the plow worm had directly evolved into a D-tier beast king.

 Chapter 461 - Ah Psai Blocked the News

    <h4>Chapter 461: Ah Psai Blocked the News</h4>

    Qin Feng was exasperated that the monster beat him to it.

    He raised his hand and drew the Verdant Emperor Saber from his spatial equipment.

    sh!

    A powerful beam was unleashed from the saber and it was scorching like magma.

    ¡°Chirp!¡±

    Even though it had reached D-tier, the attack was still too much to bear for the plow worm. The earth-type shell that it had just acquired instantly shattered under the attack.

    The monster shrieked painfully and attempted to escape underground.

    ¡®Don¡¯t you dare run away from me!¡¯

    Qin Feng maneuvered the fire runes with his consciousness.

    ¡°Hell Magma!¡±

    The ground under Qin Feng instantly turned into a pool of magma.

    The plow worm cried hysterically with half of its body submerged inside the magma. The scale on its shell was melted away by the blistering magma.

    Its body jerked continuously and the plow worm was nearing its end within a few minutes after its glorious evolution.

    Qin Feng gave it the final blow with his saber.

    ¡®Die!¡¯

    The plow worm was cut into half and the struggling upper part froze and dropped into the magma pool as well.

    Qin Feng triggered his consciousness and retrieved two crystals out of the pool.

    One of them was of course therge gaea crystal, while the other one was the energy core of the beast king.

    A thin outeryer had been absorbed from the former but the power was already great enough to turn an E-tier into a D-tier beast king.

    Qin Feng kept the two crystals in his storage and looked up again. The mountains had gone even higher. A lot of clods slid down the hill as a result of the upward momentum. More gaea crystals were unearthed as the soil slipped. The insectoids were all over the crystals as soon as they surfaced.

    ¡°Chirp!¡±

    An iron beetle engulfed one piece of gaea crystal and transfigured rapidly. Its body turned from ck into silver, then gold, and finally became crystal clear.

    A D-tier beast emperor. This monster must have eaten something extraordinary.

    Qin Feng could not care less about the scattered crystals and charge straight at the D-tier beast emperor.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was almost equivalent to B1-tier now. Besides, his Verdant Emperor Saber was a God¡¯s weapon and extremely sharp. Thisbination was more than enough to finish off the D-tier beast.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    A ring fuchsia beam unleashed from the saber and prated the crystal beetle with ease.

    Before the emperor beast had the chance to showcase its supremacy, it was killed instantly by Qin Feng¡¯s saber. The gaea crystal and its power core were snatched by Qin Feng.

    Other than that, the Beetle Emperor¡¯s pure life force also flowed into Qin Feng after it was killed.

    Within the short time Qin Feng used to kill the beast emperor, various insectoids on the mountain experienced the same transfiguration as the crystal beetle. In that short span, ample beast generals, beast kings, and at least a dozen of beast emperors were shaped on the mountain.

    The concentrated group of high-level beasts would petrify any E-tier aptitude user.

    Even a D-tier aptitude user would find it hard to move and be suffocated by the immense pressure.

    Qin Feng knew that it was only a matter of days before C-tiers would begin to start roaming this mountain. By that time, this ce would be dered a forbidden area and only true elects could set foot on this mountain.

    This was why Qin Feng did not bring along Jin Fei and the others. They would not survive this horrendous swamp of insectoid for more than half an hour.

    Qin Feng was no longer busy looking for gaea crystals. He just started killing all the evolved insectoids because they must have engulfed the crystal, saving him the trouble.

    ¡°Decaying Rain!¡±

    Instantly, a dark cloud appeared above the mountain and covered almost half of the area.

    A pair of blue-med wings appeared behind Qin Feng. He ascended and hovered in mid-air while scanning the insectoids that kept popping out from the mountain ground.

    Even an armadillo had evolved into a ten-meter-long beast. The beast king swerved about recklessly and stampeded numerous smaller insectoids.

    As a monster, its size did give the armadillo a lot of advantage. But it also presented itself as an easier target under the corrosive rain.

    ¡°Fiery Rampant!¡±

    A straight line of fire appeared on top of the beast king, which had been greatly weakened by Decaying Rain.

    ¡°Blooming me!¡±

    The crimson me above it bloomed in multiple directions and one of the me swords instantly cut off the monster¡¯s giant head.

    Poof!

    Its blood spilled all over the ce.

    Qin Feng had no use of the beast king corpse and burned it into ashes using hellfire. All that was left were its power core and the gaea crystal that had yet to be digested by the armadillo.

    He could not stop killing after that. The maddening ughter went on endlessly.

    The earth continued to elevate until it became a high in. It did not stop expanding and was about to turn into a mountain ridge.

    The monsters around the area continuously consumed the enriched crystal and turned into powerful beast kings and emperors. They came out from the underground hurriedly to avoid being buried but unbeknownst to them, a more dangerous foe was waiting for them in the sky.

    Qin Feng killed any beast that came into his sight for 24 hours straight. The mountain ridge was still expanding and the ce where Qin Feng was at had be the center of the continuous mountains.

    Nobody woulde to disturb him here.

    Of course, his whereabouts were still known to those observing him from the aircraft.

    ¡°Our boss is invincible!¡±

    ¡°I am greatly inspired after watching him fight. Unfortunately, the monsters he is facing are not too powerful. Otherwise, we might get to see some of his best ultimates!¡±

    ¡°I wonder how strong he would be if he were to fight 100%?¡±

    The people in the aircraft watched the annihtion excitedly.

    ¡°Only people like Qin Feng could survive in such a dangerous ce.¡±

    ¡°I agree. Look at Psipur¡¯s troop. Didn¡¯t you see how they were being chased back to his warm castle?¡± Jin Feimented in an admiring tone.

    The others nodded. The quake could be felt as far as Psipur so Ah Psai had sent his men to check on the situation. Unfortunately, they could not even cross the first wave of insectoids.

    They did not understand what was happening. After they went back, they even cautiously constructed a defense line in front of their city in preparation against the monster horde.

    To their surprise, the monsters did not go near their city at all but lingered around the newly-elevated mountains.

    Not only that but those D1-tier monsters suddenly transformed into D6-tier overnight. They would probably enter C-tier if given another day.

    A theory slowly formed in Ah Psai¡¯s bewildered mind.

    ¡°Something special must have urred near the mountain range.¡±

    With this thought in mind, Ah Psai immediately sent a team to hunt down a D-tier beast king. The team fought painstakingly to finally take down one D-tier insectoid. From the corpse, they had sessfully retrieved a small piece of gaea crystal.

    Ah Psai reflexively warned his team not to leak the news out of Psipur.

 Chapter 462 - Psipur Holy Mountain

    <h4>Chapter 462: Psipur Holy Mountain</h4>

    Hence, the outside world was not informed about the strange phenomenon that urred near Psipur on the first day.

    However, other dominant tribes near Psipur had of course nted their own informants inside the city so the news eventually broke out after one day.

    Now, almost every aptitude user knew that gaea crystals had emerged abundantly near the remote,wless territory. This was a resource that even an A-tier would yearn for.

    Those who got the news wished to rush there immediately.

    However, A-tier aptitude users were usually a ruler and could not travel spontaneously.

    Thus, only those of B-tier or lower coulde to Psipur. Nheless, ranked officers such as Guang Wei that was entitled to defend Longchuan could not leave their position as they wished.

    As such, B-tiers were scarce too while C-tiers were aplenty.

    D-tiers, needless to say, were the main force, but their impact was also the most minimal.

    This was because the monsters that came along with the elevated mountains were at least E-tier and above. They would instantly evolve after engulfing the rich gaea crystal.

    For D-tier aptitude users, monsters that could instantly turn into D-tier beast kings were disastrous.

    It would be days before the other aptitude users reached here. Qin Feng was the first to the scene so he had earned plenty.

    The mountains just kept growing. Ah Psai¡¯s men were blocked at the perimeter while Qin Feng continuingly piled up his crystal collection. The number of insectoid kings and emperors he had killed were beyond count.

    On the third day, arge crowd began to gather at the Psipur mountains.

    ¡°Bai Li, let¡¯s head back!¡± Qin Feng came out from his killing mood and contacted Bai Li with his consciousness.

    Schwaff!

    Bai Li appeared right next to him immediately. Even Bai Li was tainted by soil after plowing through soil collecting gaea crystal non-stop for three straight days.

    Qin Feng knew that the number of crystals they had amassed was only about 10% of the total mine.

    With more aptitude users gathering, Qin Feng feared that he might be the consensus target again if people were to realize that he had been mining freely in the mountains way ahead of everyone.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li returned to the aircraft.

    He took a long shower to cleanse himself from bloodstain and dirt. He went to the cockpit afterward.

    ¡°Captain!¡±

    ¡°Captain!¡±

    Everyone was nodding to Qin Feng. They had all witnessed Qin Feng¡¯s battle prowess from the aircraft in the past three days. They looked at him with great respect.

    Because he had killed too many monsters, the shower did notpletely rid the bloody smell on his body. The smell was an umtion of different beast kings and emperors. The remaining aura was still pretty deterring.

    ¡°What¡¯s the current situation?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Jin Fei answered hastily, ¡°Ah Psai from Psipur has the mountains surrounded. He said that this is their Holy Mountain and people who dare to invade recklessly would be punished. Our men did not set foot in it and only hover around the perimeter. He can¡¯t stop us from the ground anyway.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Qin Feng nodded. The name ¡°Psipur Holy Mountain¡± had indeed been used since the olden days but this did not mean that it belonged to Psipur city.

    ¡°More and more aptitude users have gathered around here today but most of them are D-tiers. They only wander around the perimeter like us. These groups are probably scouts and I believe there would be more toe since the news is all over the battle now.¡±

    ¡°Then let¡¯s wait for another day. I believe they will be here soon,¡± Qin Feng said. He was expecting the C-tiers. These people would definitely be here when the situation became out of control.

    Qin Feng rested for a day and as he had predicted, five C-tiers arrived alongside a new group at the mountain base the next day.

    ¡°Ah Psai, it¡¯s inappropriate for you to seal off the mountain this way. We are all free topete for the natural resources there. I am here with direct orders from my B-tier superior so please don¡¯t make things difficult for us,¡± One of the C-tiers argued.

    Ah Psai was definitely enraged but he concealed it and replied politely with a smile, ¡°These peaks are a part of the Holy Mountains since our ancestral times. Foreign people are forbidden to enter because it¡¯s too dangerous there. I am doing this out of concern for everyone¡¯s safety. If you insist, I will only allow C-tiers to pass to minimize casualty.¡±

    The amount of resources lost would be less if the number of people allowed to enter was restricted. If each C-tier brought along fifty men with them, then twenty C-tiers would mean a thousand men. The mine would be emptied quickly with so many people ravaging the area.

    These people were aptitude users, after all.

    The C-tiers scanned the area using consciousness and were slightly taken aback by the number of beast kings and emperors in there.

    ¡°You are right. After all, we shouldn¡¯t let our underlings take the risk. If so, then only the C-tiers will be going in.¡± The C-tier agreed to the proposal and asked their D-tiers to camp somewhere nearby.

    Ah Psai¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred when the five C-tiers went past his barricade.

    To him, these resources were rightfully his and these people were here to steal them. He was thinking of a way to eliminate them.

    Ah Psai¡¯s thinking might not be entirely wrong in the current world but the only problem was that he was too weak to do as he wished.

    Qin Feng heard their exchange and he approached Ah Psai after the five C-tiers had entered the mountains.

    ¡°Hi, Ah Psai!¡± Qin Feng greeted the chief.

    Ah Psai was slightly startled being called out when he still had his infuriated expression on.

    He recognized Qin Feng almost immediately. ¡°Mr. Qin! You are here to ess the Holy Mountain as well?¡±

    ¡°Yea!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    Ah Psai did not try to conceal his displeasure this time. ¡°Mr. Qin, this is not a ce that youe and go freely. Going in as a D-tier is no different from suicide. Please listen to my advice as a friend and don¡¯t go in there.¡±

    It sounded like a warning more than advice.

    Qin Fengughed it off. ¡°I am determined to go no matter what. But then, it would be rude of me if I go in forcefully. So I am willing topromise and pay you 10 billion as an entrance fee. What do you think, Chief?¡±

    Qin Feng was doing this for a reason.

    Indeed, there was a risk for D-tier to enter the Holy Mountains. But when there was such arge group of D-tiers, they could still conquer the mountains easily with C-tiers leading them.

    Qin Feng knew that Ah Psai was being wanted by the Human Alliance after he assassinated the C-tier aptitude users. His exile then led to the opening of the mountains to D-tiers.

    In other words, Ah Psai was an ideal barrier to fend offpetitors. Ten billion was not an amount that many D-tiers could fork out. As a result, the number of people entering the mountains could be conveniently controlled using Ah Psai¡¯s greediness.

    Qin Feng would not mind letting Ah Psai y the bad guy role this time.

 Chapter 463 - Entrance Fees

    <h4>Chapter 463: Entrance Fees</h4>

    An idea soon lit up in Ah Psai¡¯s calctive mind.

    If he were to charge entrance fees of 10 billion per person, then one hundred aptitude users would earn him 1 trillion!

    This would surely be a lucrative business since the gaea crystal was such a rare and limited resource at the moment.

    Ah Psaiughed satisfyingly and said, ¡°Mr. Qin, I like your suggestion. Since we are friends, I am willing to amodate and let you through.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. To him, 10 billion was not a significant amount. He casually took out one cubic power credit and passed it to Ah Psai. Whether Ah Psai would have the chance to spend the money was not of his concern.

    Qin Feng entered the Holy Mountains while Ah Psai did not stop his activity on the outside. He recruited arge band of construction workers to build a wall surrounding the mountains.

    The walls were poorly constructed. Ah Psai only needed a symbolic structure to mark his territory. Arrow slits were introduced to the wall at short intervals and Ah Psai had also applied poison at spots he deemed vulnerable.

    Even though the mountains were still elevating and the wall structures were being destroyed constantly by the upliftingnd, Ah Psai kept the construction going on and on.

    Nevertheless, his method did work. Ah Psai could not stop the C-tiers but the price of the entrance fees did discourage the majority of the D-tiers.

    Some D-tiers needed the crystal desperately. They had reached the bottleneck for a long time and would require external help to improve. Otherwise, they might not attain C-tier for the rest of their lives. Such aptitude users had no choice but to pay the exorbitant fees.

    Hence, Ah Psai¡¯s business grew exponentially.

    More and more people had entered the Holy Mountains by now.

    ***

    At a random location inside the mountains, Qin Feng was battling an insectoid beast king.

    The dark runes had sapped out most of the monster¡¯s life force. Qin Feng swung his sword and cut the beast king into half.

    ¡®Thirty-first!¡¯ Qin Feng counted silently.

    Beast king at this tier was no match for Qin Feng now. It would not even be counted as a fight but rather a one-sided ughter.

    Hellfire burned brightly and incinerated the insectoid corpse into ashes. The crystal core and gaea crystal were the only things that remained after the burning.

    This was when a figure came flying in, stopped short mid-air, andnded right in front of Qin Feng.

    The person was wearing a set of dark-red battle suits and carrying a broadsword on his back. Even his hair was dyed red and his eyes were bloodshot. His vibe spelled boastful and cunning.

    Qin Feng immediately recognized the man. His name was Yuan Hongfei, a wanted aptitude user from the Dark Coalition. There was a bounty on his head in both the Bounty Hunter and Dark Hitman Network.

    ¡°Surrender your possession and I will let you live!¡± Yuan Hongfei said arrogantly. His eyes belonged to those of a killer.

    Actually, Yuan Hongfei was going to kill Qin Feng anyway even if he did as he was told. He loved giving his victim false hope and especially enjoyed the despairing look on them when he ended their lives.

    Yuan Hongfei had begun to imagine the way his opponent would yield and back off cautiously.

    His pleased expression quickly evaporated when he found out that Qin Feng had ignored his threat entirely and packed the two crystals into his spatial equipment.

    ¡°Can¡¯t you hear me? I say put down the two crystals and I may let you live!¡±

    Qin Feng said nothing and pointed his Verdant Emperor Saber at Yuan Hongfei.

    Yuan Hongfei was stunned. He did not sit well being threatened.

    ¡°Son of a b*tch! Know your ce, you lowly D-tier!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered. ¡°On the count of three.¡±

    Yuan Hongfei was infuriated. ¡°You are nothing more than a bragger. Let me teach you a lesson!¡± He promptly unsheathed the broadsword on his back and swung it down toward Qin Feng.

    The broadsword was extremely heavy. Yuan Hongfei used a great deal of internal strength to maneuver it. A force that was capable of cleaving a boulder came crashing down on Qin Feng.

    ¡°Evade or die!¡± Yuan Hongfei was determined to kill the narcissistic brat.

    Qin Feng did not evade but only bent his wrist slightly upward.

    The move seemed effortless and did not appear to be able to resist the iing heavy attack.

    The two internal forces collided. Yuan Hongfei¡¯s internal force immediately melted away like snow exposed to sun rays. The sharp me on the Verdant Emperor Saber hit the broadsword and easily sliced through it.

    Yuan Hongfei rounded his eyes in surprise. The broadsword was made of C-tier beast king materials. It was a silver light rune equipment and it was impossible to break it that easily.

    Unless the opponent was using a C-tier beast emperor weapon.

    However, Yuan Hongfei did not notice any gold radiance on the saber.

    There was only one exnation left.

    ¡®God¡¯s weapon!¡¯

    Only such a weapon had no tier restriction.

    Yuan Hongfei¡¯s greediness wasid bare on his expression. ¡°So what if you possess a God¡¯s weapon. It will be mine after I defeat you with my internal force!¡±

    ¡°Die!¡± Yuan Hongfei directed his internal force onto his palm. He evaded Qin Feng¡¯s saber andnded multiple attacks on Qin Feng.

    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Yuan Hongfei veered around Qin Feng agilely and tried to stifle his opponent with brute internal force.

    However, after more than ten hits on Qin Feng¡¯s Qi armor, it was Yuan Hongfei that began to lose strength.

    Qin Feng smirked and said, ¡°Save your energy and just die. That way, there will be more internal force left for me to absorb.¡±

    Yuan Hongfei finally realized Qin Feng was not an ordinary D-tier.

    Being a member of the Dark Coalition, Yuan Hongfei had a rich experience in life-and-deadbat. His instinct told him that it was time to run if he wanted to live.

    It caught Qin Feng by surprise that Yuan Hongfei had chosen to flee so decisively. But he could never outrun Qin Feng.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Boom!

    Qin Feng covered a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

    Yuan Hongfei dashed with all his might but he could feel that a dark aura was breathing down his neck.

    A dark ability hit Yuan Hongfei, which instantly took away all his senses. His mind was clouded and rooted him on the spot.

    Qin Feng grabbed the short window of opportunity to catch up. He slid the saber right through his prey¡¯s neck and beheaded Yuan Hongfei. He then stuck out his arm and the headnded precisely on his palm.

    ¡®Another bounty earned.¡¯

    Qin Feng grinned and turned back to get onto Yuan Hongfei¡¯s body.

 Chapter 464 - Inevitable Clash Between Opposing Factions

    <h4>Chapter 464: Inevitable sh Between Opposing Factions</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    The headless corpse had been drawn over by Qin Feng, and the internal strength embedded within had fueled him with arge amount of strength.

    Followed by a dash of me that merged with the corpse, the runes were sessfully captured by Qin Feng.

    All of it was done in mid-air, and uponpletion, Qin Fengnded on the ground.

    The ground was flooded by surging insectoid waves, and Qin Feng was instantly surrounded as soon as he hadnded.

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    The D-tier insectoids had no chance against Qin Feng, his Hellfire Carpet swept across the ground and instantly turned them into ashes.

    However, the ongoing waves of insectoids seemed to be unending.

    ¡°Wait a minute, these insectoids seem to be escaping!¡±

    Qin Feng was alerted and went in the opposite direction.

    While being surrounded by Dark Shadow, Qin Feng travelled across uneven and bumpy hills for about five hundred meters while remaining undetected, and the scene ahead caught his attention.

    Surprisingly, it was a horrifying C-tier insectoid beast king.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t expect to see a Steel-Armored Snail King!¡±

    Without any doubt, it was transformed from a steel-back snail that had no other capabilities than its outstanding defending capability, with just one gaea crystal, it could hold its defending ground with its enhanced capabilities.

    The erged Steel-Armored Snail King had grown up to the height of a three-floor building, it was like a vi enforced with an indestructible shell. Furthermore, its powerful water ability had equipped it with mental toxin.

    It was the reason behind the escape of all other insectoids.

    However, Qin Feng held onto his footsteps and intensified his dark presence by anotheryer to further conceal his presence and remain undetected by the others.

    Surprisingly, someone was already fighting against the Steel-Armored Snail King.

    However, it was obviously an unfavorable fight.

    There were already two corpses that were lying on the ground, while another four people were still battling against the snail king.

    However, it was clear that they were from different groups.

    One of them was about to escape from being attacked by the snail king, however, the other three blocked the escape.

    It was surprising to Qin Feng that he was able to recognize all three of them.

    One of them was Lei Ying.

    Whereas the other two had participated in the ambush against him, it was Han Chengming, a C-tier aptitude user, and Liu Bei from the Dark Coalition.

    It was unexpected to see them together.

    Lei Ying seemed to have his arm recovered, obviously, he must have utilized rare treasures, or perhaps it was an external limb that was connected by using gic technology; for the aptitude users, such technologies would only cost a small portion from their fortune, however, it would take a toll toward their capabilities.

    Being an ability user himself, with his conscious energy, Lei Ying could easily grow another pair of limbs at any time!

    However, it was unexpected to see Lei Ying there, indeed an inevitable sh between opposing factions.

    At that moment, cursing was heard from the one who was being ambushed by all three other peoplebined with the insectoid beast king, he could barely hold on anymore.

    ¡°Lei Ying, you will pay for this!¡±

    Obviously, Lei Ying did not bother about the cursing and chuckled, ¡°I am afraid that those who have cursed me in such a way could probably form an army, however, why am I still alive and well now? Cheng Dacheng, can¡¯t you just stay put and wait for your recovery, why are you still out here?¡±

    It was Cheng Dacheng who was being ambushed, the chairman of the Dacheng Group.

    Cheng Dacheng was heavily wounded by Lei Ying¡¯s powerful thunder ability, even his nervous system was damaged, and it was impossible to heal the injuries with ordinary items.

    As his capability was greatly reduced, the appearance of the gaea crystal had struck him with the idea that it would be a good opportunity to rush over and get it for his own recovery.

    From Lei Ying¡¯s view, it would only be a relief for him once had killed Cheng Dacheng, an enemy that he had startled previously, and obviously, it was more than once!

    ¡°Han Chengming, I have already spread the news about your filthy cooperation with Lei Ying and the Dark Coalition to put me in harm, you would want to have a good exnation on this!¡± Cheng Dacheng threatened his opponent.

    Han Chengming seemed hesitant; however, it did notst long.

    After all, he had already been involved with Lei Ying for too long to be exempted from the situation.

    Furthermore, birds of a feather flock together, they would only cooperate because they were of the same kind!

    Han Chengming was also a cheat and a hypocrite.

    ¡°Cheng Dacheng, you will be killed by the ultra beast, and it will have nothing to do with me; what do you mean by Liu Bei, I do not know him; although he is not fighting us, how will that prove that we are joining forces? Your ims are baseless, and even if you are to bring it up, nobody would care!¡± Han Chengming gave his bold and confident answer.

    Cheng Dacheng was left with despair as he knew clearly about the future oues.

    Furthermore, nobody knew about Lei Ying¡¯s recent cooperation with a powerful B-tier, Guang Wei; hence, he was bing more and more arrogant and nobody could stop him.

    Perhaps, my death would finally arrive today?

    Cheng Dacheng was hopeless and dissatisfied, he had yet to take his revenge on Lei Ying, how could he still allow Lei Ying to take his life?

    It was at that moment; everyone was alerted by a sudden noise.

    ¡°Oh? No idea who it is, but I bet you don¡¯t mind if I kill this person?!¡±

    All four of them turned around simultaneously and were shocked by the person who was standing about twenty meters away.

    It was a very close distance, and surprisingly, the presence of the person was unnoticed by all four of them.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    Lei Ying cried out immediately with his eyes wide.

    Qin Feng let out an evil grin, and it was spooky.

    The next moment, he had disappeared again.

    Han Chengming immediately shouted, ¡°Be careful!¡±

    It was unknown who should be aware of the threat, however, he had a strong feeling that something bad was about to happen to someone!

    Despite knowing that Qin Feng was merely a D-tier, it was still impossible for him to get rid of his fear toward Qin Feng.

    It was at that moment, a shadow appeared right behind Liu Bei.

    ¡°You have overestimated yourself!¡± Liu Bei was enraged and excited by the threat.

    Being a member from the Dark Coalition himself, Liu Bei was a brutal person that would willfully ughter the innocent, and Qin Feng was also his targeted victim. However, the appearance of the Grans had forced them to scatter and escape, hence, he did not have the chance to take action toward Qin Feng who had been staying within Longchuan, an area that was protected by the powerful B-tier.

    It was surprising for him to encounter his opponent here.

    Liu Bei was on the edge of his seat to find his prey that had escaped before.

    Without even turning his head, Liu Bei immediately initiated a deadly attack and stabbed his weapon toward the back.

    If his opponent did not dodge, it would definitely pierce through the internal strength shield of his opponent and result in a kill.

    Surprisingly, Qin Feng did not dodge.

    ¡°A kill secured!¡± Liu Bei felt assured, the next moment, he was shocked by the resistance that he had felt on his arm, and it was like a mud pool that was drawing him in.

    The internal strength shield of his opponent was overwhelming.

    Liu Bei had the same encounter when he killed a B-tier ancient warrior in the past.

    ¡°How is this possible?¡± Liu Bei was struck by the question, the next moment, he was alerted by an echo from his internal strength shield.

    Pow!

    Liu Bei¡¯s internal strength shield had shattered!

    ¡°No!¡±

    Liu Bei immediately generated force from his legs and jumped out.

    ¡°Trying to escape?¡± Qin Feng sneered as the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand instantly glimmered with a fuchsia glow.

 Chapter 465 - A Free Head For You

    <h4>Chapter 465: A Free Head For You</h4>

    The glimmering light had instantly caught up with Liu Bei.

    Liu Bei turned around while raising his hand and embedded it with his internal strength shield.

    Boom!

    A deafening booming sound was heard, the next moment, Liu Bei had already been tossed away.

    Both of his hands were charred into coal ck color, he was devastated and no longer resembled the characteristics of a gifted and mighty figure of a member from the Dark Coalition!

    Qin Feng pursued further, while Liu Bei let out an enraged roar as he tried to dodge Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    ¡°Come and save me!¡± Liu Bei shouted.

    Obviously, both Lei Ying and Han Chengming were being alerted by the scene, surprisingly, none of them had reacted to it.

    Qin Feng had also slowed down his movements, like he was taking a stroll in the park, and it was an intentional action to torture Liu Bei and prolong the process of killing him!

    Certainly, Liu Bei also realized that with Qin Feng¡¯s powerful capabilities, it would be a piece of cake for him to take his life.

    However, Qin Feng did not choose to do so, and he was humiliating him!

    It was like how they had teased Cheng Dacheng.

    The switch of position was too quick and Liu Bei was definitely unable to ept that the tables have turned!

    ¡°Are you guys pretending to be dead?¡± Liu Bei was infuriated.

    Han Chengming was about to make his move, and Qin Feng mocked with a sarcastic sneer, ¡°Yo, and now you know each other?¡±

    Lei Ying reacted instantly and let out an enraged roar, ¡°Qin Feng, you are now a fugitive, you are not supposed to behave so arrogantly, do you think you can get away with the pursuit?¡±

    At that moment, both of them were about to strike together.

    Qin Feng¡¯s reaction was faster.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡± A m that was embedded with the internal strength of a B-tier ancient warrior instantly hit Liu Bei.

    ¡°Pfft!!!¡± A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from Liu Bei¡¯s mouth, his arrogance andcency with his own talent had diminished, he knew that he was a dead duck.

    ¡°Chairman Cheng, how about a free head for you?¡± As Qin Feng made his offer, he immediately raised his leg and kicked Liu Bei toward Cheng Dacheng, Liu Bei was being treated like a ser ball.

    With the sudden interference from Qin Feng, Cheng Dacheng felt relief as he was no longer restricted by the others, and Qin Feng¡¯s action of kicking Liu Bei over was like sending his enemy to his doorsteps.

    Without any hesitation, Cheng Dacheng immediately pierced forward with his spear on hand.

    Poof!

    A deadly hit had prated into Liu Bei¡¯s heart.

    The arrogant and disdainfully proud talent from the Dark Coalition had died in such an unexpected way.

    Before Lei Ying and Han Chengming could strike, Liu Bei was already dead!

    It had instantly be an awkward situation.

    It was supposed to be a confirmed winning situation with two opponents from both sides, and one of them was a D-tier.

    Surprisingly, the C-tier aptitude users were no match against the D-tier freak and the tides had turned.

    Qin Feng let out a cold sneer, ¡°Chairman Cheng, mind to take another free head from me?¡±

    Cheng Dacheng was consumed by his urge to kill.

    ¡°Lei Ying¡¯s filthy head? Sure, why not?!¡±

    Qin Feng instantly disappeared into the shadows and attacked toward Lei Ying.

    Boom!

    Lei Ying was immediately smashed by a punch on his cheek, his face was twisted and all of his teeth were broken while he was tossed away in spinning movements.

    Pow pow pow!

    Qin Feng continued his smashing and Lei Ying had no chance to defend himself.

    Knowing that he had no chance of withstanding Qin Feng¡¯s attack, Lei Ying was scared out of his wits.

    Meanwhile, Han Chengming who noticed the unfavorable situation had immediately decided to escape!

    However, Qin Feng did not have any significant hatred that would drive his pursuit to hunt down Han Chengming, hence, he was able to escape sessfully.

    Unfortunately, Lei Ying did not have the same luck!

    Lei Ying was instantly smashed and wounded to an unrecognizable state!

    Qin Feng sneered, ¡°Lei Ying, Chairman Lei, how does it feel? When you were still at the Conscious Realm of the Human Alliance, have you ever thought of having to face such a situation today?¡±

    Lei Ying broke out in a cold sweat.

    Ever since his departure from the conscious realm, Lei Ying had never thought that Qin Feng would ughter his way out and escape from Guang Wei¡¯s pursuit, not to mention the defeat that he had to face now.

    Hence, Lei Ying could never be assured of his safety and stretch his influence into the Four Cities of the North Sea, not until Qin Feng was dead.

    Lei Ying had such a feeling that if he were to be the governor of the Four Cities of the North Sea, Qin Feng would definitely hunt him down.

    ¡°Chairman Cheng, this is for you!¡± Qin Feng was about to extend his hand to grab Lei Ying.

    It was at that moment, a sudden quake erupted from the ground!

    Another unexpected earthquake had erupted at such a crucial moment.

    All of a sudden, the ground underneath Qin Feng and Lei Ying cracked and red-up a giant gap between them.

    The grounds were broken by the earthquake, however, the scene from the exposed underground had drawn everyone¡¯s attention, surprisingly, it was and filled with gaea crystals!

    Lei Ying had only managed to take a nce of it, the next moment, thunder began to shroud around him.

    Earlier, Qin Feng¡¯s action was too fast and Lei Ying was unable to react and concentrate his conscious energy to initiate runes, hence, he had to suffer the punches from Qin Feng.

    If it were not because of the precious items that he had consumed, Li Ying would have already been punched to death by Qin Feng¡¯s attacks!

    Hence, Lei Ying would never have forgo such a great opportunity to escape.

    ¡°Thunderstrike!¡±

    Within the blink of an eye, Lei Ying was surrounded with a purple glimmer that was in a Z shape, he sprinted for over a hundred meters away without any hesitation while being shrouded by ayer of silver glow.

    Surprisingly, he had escaped by using spatial runes!

    Lei Ying was only able to exhale in relief as soon as his vision had recovered.

    ¡°I am free, I am still alive!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, you will pay for this!¡±

    ¡°Were those gaea crystals? There seems to be a lot of them underneath the rifts!¡±

    Lei Ying could not constrain his dissatisfaction and jealousy, if it were not because of Qin Feng¡¯s appearance, the gaea crystals would have been his!

    Actually, Lei Ying was right, before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, Lei Ying had leveraged the huge amount of wealth to pump up his capabilities.

    Even Liu Bei, Wang Jian, Liu Yi, and Han Chengming were supposed to benefit from the wealth, however, Qin Feng¡¯s appearance had totally changed their fate.

    Wang Jian had died, Liu Yi had separated from Lei Ying, Han Chengming had escaped, while Liu Bei had been killed by Cheng Dacheng.

    All of them had brushed past the opportunities that they were supposed to have!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was delighted by the great amount of gaea crystals underground.

    Cheng Dacheng had also witnessed the exciting moment.

    ¡°Ay, Brother Qin, your help is much appreciated!¡± Cheng Dacheng shouted to remind Qin Feng that he had only killed Liu Bei, and the Steel-Armored Snail King was still alive!

    However, Qin Feng did not bother about it and immediately jumped into the rifts.

    He stabbed his Verdant Emperor Saber into the soil and dug out the gaea crystals.

    Qin Feng was swift in his actions, within the blink of an eye, all gaea crystals around the edges were excavated from the soil.

    However, the insectoids were also coping up with his high speed of action.

    They were alerted by the natural born sensing ability bonded with the gaea crystals and immediately flocked toward the scene.

    The opening of the rift was rather small, it was only about two meters in width and thirty meters in depth, hence, within a short moment, the space waspletely blocked by the insectoids!

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his conscious energy, and the entire rift opening was immediately shrouded by Hellfire Carpet.

    Every insectoid that came were all dead.

    Qin Feng filled his hands with internal strength again. ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    Walls within the rift were being wildly scrambled by the golden dragon w, and all of the hidden gaea crystals were exposed.

    Qin Feng had gone wild in collecting the gaea crystals.

    It was at that moment, the surroundings glimmered under the reflections of water that was sprinkled into the rift, and the Hellfire Carpet was being put out by the sprinkles.

    Qin Feng immediately hid into the giant hole that was excavated by the dragon w and cranked up his internal strength shield to its maximum level.

 Chapter 466 - Instantly Overturned

    <h4>Chapter 466: Instantly Overturned</h4>

    Qin Feng extended his conscious energy to the surroundings.

    It turned out that Cheng Dacheng had escaped from the Steel-Armored Snail King, and the snail did not pursue further, instead, it had gone into the rift.

    Poisonous water waves had instantly filled the rift.

    It was immediately neutralized by Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield.

    However, he was stuck in a deadlock situation that might eventually lead to his death.

    Qin Feng swayed his Verdant Emperor Saber in spiral movements and began to excavate the soil.

    The soil was pressured by Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength, and he was able to find a breakthrough spot from a tunnel.

    The Steel-Armored Snail King was still releasing abilities into the rift, at the same time, it had also sensed Qin Feng¡¯s presence.

    It turned its giant body around and directed water runes toward Qin Feng.

    Swoosh!

    Waves gushed in the direction of Qin Feng.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately blinked to a different location to dodge the wave, he continued to activate his conscious energy and initiate fire runes, then, he pointed his finger.

    ¡°Magma Pir!¡±

    Boom!

    A giant magma pir instantly appeared underneath the snail king and pushed it upward.

    The solid outer shell of the snail king was incredibly hard and imprable; however, its soft body would appear during its movements; simr to other ultra beasts, having unbending outer skin would also reduce their defense capabilities.

    It was impossible to stay on par with Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities.

    The attack had instantly wounded the snail king that had its heavy outer shell stuck in between the rift.

    However, ultra beasts would usually have their own ways to escape, it immediately activated the water flow to float itself up.

    The move was already expected by Qin Feng, and he already had his Verdant Emperor Saber overflowing with a horrifying amount of internal strength.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Unidentified amounts of realistic magma rays moved and shed around constantly to seek for kills.

    The C-tier beast king was unable to cope with the heavy attacks from Qin Feng, its body was shed into pieces!

    Furthermore, the C-tier beast king was already wounded from the ambush by Cheng Dacheng and the others, hence, it was unable to perform with full capability.

    In less than twenty attacks, Qin Feng had already killed the Steel-Armored Snail King.

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    mes erupted and burned off the corpse of the snail king, and two giant crystals immediately fell off from the burnt ashes.

    One of it was a basketball-sized C-tier water energy core, while the other was a gaea crystal that was twice the size of a basketball; the snail king had been devouring for the past three days and it would only take another short period of time for it to transform into a beast emperor.

    In other words, if the retrieval of gaea crystals and annihtion of the insectoids were not performed quick enough, the Psipur Holy Mountain might be more horrifying.

    It might even be a restricted area in the future.

    There was only a window of a month to obtain gaea crystals from the area, once the timeframe hadpsed, it would only be possible to obtain the crystals by fate gambling and life risking!

    Qin Feng casually gathered the items into his spatial rune equipment and continued to jump into the deep pit again.

    The water flow within the pit had disappeared along with the death of the Steel-Armored Snail King, and Qin Feng resumed with the excavation.

    Scents that were released from the death of the snail king was like a warning sign for the insectoids to refrain from closing in on the area, and it had enabled an easier excavating job.

    Although the insectoids were afraid toe, the humans were not.

    A shadow appeared in the rift, it was Cheng Dacheng, the chairman of the Dacheng Group that had returned.

    ¡°Mister Qin, I have to thank you for your helping hand earlier!¡± Cheng Dacheng was grateful and thanked Qin Feng.

    Both of them worked together for theirmon enemies.

    It was fortunate for Cheng Dacheng to have Qin Feng¡¯s presence that had facilitated his escape.

    Qin Feng paused his task on hand and immediately took out his weapon as soon as he saw Cheng Dacheng¡¯s presence.

    ¡°Chairman Cheng, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t ept your appreciation, if it weren¡¯t because of you, there could even be the appearance of beast king-tier insectoids!¡± Qin Feng mocked and answered.

    It was a total hoax for Cheng Dacheng to position himself as the innocent one.

    Being a C-tier himself, Qin Feng was not disappointed by it at all, after all, who would not turn into a cunning fox once they have achieved such heights? Not even the capable ones could avoid such traits.

    ¡°Keke, I believe you have misunderstood me, Mister Qin, I was also in a desperate situation that has forced me to escape from the snail king!¡±

    Qin Feng casually swayed his Verdant Emperor Saber. ¡°The others might believe in you on this, for me, it was just an old chestnut!¡±

    ¡°Mister Qin, what do you mean by this?¡± Cheng Dacheng was puzzled by Qin Feng¡¯s vexatious behavior.

    How could he just overturn it into a hostile situation in just a short moment?

    Did things not go well earlier? He had even gifted Liu Bei¡¯s head that was being set with a huge amount of bounty on the wanted-list.

    ¡°Nothing much, just that we do not know each other, and I am now a fugitive being wanted by the Human Alliance, and prefer not to have any other people around me; hence, please make your move, Chairman Cheng!¡±

    Cheng Dacheng was irritated.

    ¡°Mister Qin, we were still cooperating earlier, how could you say that we do not know each other? You are simply being hical, are you nning to take all of these treasures by yourself?!¡± Cheng Dacheng spoke with dissatisfaction.

    Qin Feng raised his eyebrow. ¡°Cooperation? Have you misunderstood the situation Chairman Cheng? I was the one who have saved your life, and I have yet to mention about your hostile reaction to my kind favor! How could you still think that you should get your share on these treasures, shouldn¡¯t I deserve all these? In contrast, Chairman Cheng, you are being too greedy to ask for your share on these gaea crystals, you¡¯re just being thick-skinned and unashamed!¡±

    After all, the gaea crystals were highly sought after by everyone.

    Obviously, Cheng Dacheng was still hoping that he could get something out of it!

    Meanwhile, an instant urge to kill was exploding from Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    ¡°Chairman Cheng, do you wish to go for the easy way, or the hard way? Bear in mind, I was being forced into the Dark Coalition, and I am not required to take any responsibility for your death!¡±

    Cheng Dacheng was immediately shocked and took a few steps back.

    Qin Feng¡¯s past attacks had left Liu Bei and Lei Ying with no choice but to suffer the beatings, it was impossible for Cheng Dacheng to ignore such an intimidating threat.

    He was definitely an evildoer.

    ¡°After my return, I must find out about this little kid that hase out from nowhere!¡± Guang Wei had prevented the spread of Qin Feng¡¯s powerful battle results, hence, his heroic deeds were being covered up.

    Therefore, it was impossible for Cheng Dacheng to find out about Qin Feng¡¯s origin.

    ¡°Alright alright alright, I will leave now!¡± Cheng Dacheng immediately agreed.

    Qin Feng was satisfied by the answer and added on, ¡°Of course, if there is no other harvest for you, I can spare you some at a good discounted price!¡±

    ¡°Keke, well, I¡¯ll thank you for that in advance, Mister Qin!¡±

    If Qin Feng were still with the Human Alliance, Cheng Dacheng would have pointed out his injuries as an unashamed excuse to ask for his share of the treasures.

    However, it was unexpected that he was with the Dark Coalition, and what does it mean that he was being forced into the Dark Coalition?

    Curiosity began to take over Cheng Dacheng¡¯s mind.

    ¡°If I were to find out who¡¯s behind this, I swear that I will not spare their lives! They have spoiled my source of wealth and affected my survival!¡± Cheng Dacheng expressed his dissatisfaction while he was being careful to not put the me onto Qin Feng and only directed his mings onto those that had forced Qin Feng into this!

    After Cheng Dacheng left, Qin Feng continued with the retrieval of the gaea crystals.

    Rescuing Cheng Dacheng was only a coincidental oue that came along when taking care of Liu Bei and halting Lei Ying¡¯s n, how could that amount to him demanding for a share on the loots?

    How could that be possible?

 Chapter 467 - Meeting Xu Qing Again

    <h4>Chapter 467: Meeting Xu Qing Again</h4>

    After gathering all the gaea crystals, Qin Feng continued to hunt insectoid beasts on the Psipur Holy Mountain. Qin Feng had been roaming on the mountain for days, raising his kill count of the insectoid beasts to an astonishing number.

    In just a dozen days, his kill count was much higher than any ordinary C-tier aptitude user¡¯s kill count in a year.

    And due to this, the insectoids¡¯ growing rate had been slowing down¡ªthey were all hunted down before they got the chance to evolve.

    This in turn caused the insectoids to get less and less threatening, leading to an increase of aptitude users.

    Now, there were B-tier aptitude users, resulting in the supply of insectoids to not be able to keep up with the aptitude users¡¯ demand!

    Naturally, the gaea crystals were also getting less and less in number. Most of the crystals left were all deep inside the gaea. And these crystals were mostly acquired by the insectoids.

    ¡°It appears that it¡¯s time for me to go.¡± Qin Feng scanned around and noticed there were at least several dozens of C-tier aptitude users observing him.

    And in front of Qin Feng, there was a D-tier emperor beast that he was engaging with at the moment.

    These C-tiers wanted to gang up on him after he had killed the emperor beast¡ªto ninja away some easy loot.

    However, they had second thoughts and started to hesitate after witnessing how powerful Qin Feng¡¯s attacks were.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber glinted sharply as he cut down the D-tier emperor beast.

    As the huge insectoid monstery on the ground lifelessly, Qin Feng immediately activated his Absorption Ability and started to devour all its energy into his body.

    Vroom!

    In an instant, Qin Feng¡¯s body had been strengthened yet again!

    He was now D9-tier!

    He only needed to ascend one more tier to C-tier!

    Qin Feng had absorbed an obscene amount of energy in the numerous days he roamed on the mountain. The amount of energy that was rumbling in his body was insanely high!

    As Qin Feng¡¯s power increased, his powerful presence leaked out in an instant, stunting the C-tiers that were hiding the shadows!

    ¡°This kid... no wonder he could defeat an emperor beast despite still being D tier. His body is an emperor type I see.¡±

    ¡°Just where did this monstere from? He is so insanely strong! Considering his age... could he be a Hero ss?¡±

    ¡°Gosh, he¡¯s already D9? He¡¯s really close to C-tier now. Although it¡¯s just one more tier, this kid isn¡¯t some ordinary chum. It¡¯s best for me to stay away!¡±

    Thus, most of the C-tiers retreated. Nheless, there were still a few of them tailing Qin Feng.

    After collecting his loot, Qin Feng started to head downward, seemingly leaving the Holy Mountain.

    Qin Feng had gotten most of the good stuff from Psipur Holy Mountain already. As such, there was no need for him to keep on being there and fight for the small, meager amount of loots left.

    Yet, the C-tiers seemed to have misunderstood the situation after seeing Qin Feng leaving.

    ¡°This kid has just ascended his tier. And now he¡¯s leaving in a hurry. Could he be running away because his power isn¡¯t stable yet?¡±

    ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s afraid? He has probably used up all his energy after fighting that emperor beast... so he¡¯s now tired?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve followed him for so many days. There¡¯s no way I¡¯m going to let him go!¡±

    Thus, they continued tailing Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng frowned and opened his mouth.

    ¡°I¡¯ll have you know. There are consequences if you continue following me!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s voice was sent far and wide through his internal force. His words were like roars of thunder rolling in the sky.

    The ones who followed him, however, did not seem intimidated. Realizing that they had been exposed, some of them decided to jump out and attack him.

    ¡°So be it!¡±

    Qin Feng did not hesitate in releasing his conscious energy. Magma Pirs instantly enveloped the idiots who wanted to jump him.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    In just the blink of an eye, the four men who tried to attack him were now burned to ashes. They were ancient warriors and aptitude users. And yet, none of them couldy a finger on Qin Feng.

    The only one left who was not quick enough tounch his attack gulped down his saliva as he saw this.

    Cold sweat rolled down his forehead and back.

    After giving him a cold look, Qin Feng turned and started to walk away.

    Ten minutester, the heavy-built C-tier stood up slowly from his hiding ce. Being a C-tier, his body was quite heavily trained and powerful. So, there was no way he was feeling cramps from squatting in the bushes for a long time. Instead, he was intimidated by Qin Feng¡¯s cold look.

    ¡°Just... just where did this monstrositye from?¡± The C-tier blurted out as he felt grateful for escaping a horrible death.

    A few momentster, Qin Feng had reached the entrance of Psipur Holy Mountain.

    Ah Psai was not really that great of a man. Yet, he was quite good at setting up camps. After building up the walls, he was able to earn quite a huge sum of money. Most of these D-tiers did not have many opportunities in life; but if they got lucky, they could be swimming in sess.

    It was then, Qin Feng could hear some noisesing from the entrance. Qin Feng had keen hearing and sharp eye-sight, thus it did not take long for him to notice that there was a row of powerful people at the entrance.

    ¡°B tier!¡± In a nce, Qin Feng was able to tell who they were. And not only that, when Qin Feng saw one of them, he recognized that he was an old acquaintance.

    ¡°General Xu Qing!¡±

    It was General Xu Qing from Longchuan.

    Psipur Holy Mountain was such a blessed ce. Qin Feng did not expect to see friendly faces in the area!

    Meanwhile, Xu Qing too saw Qin Feng from afar. After a short moment of surprise, he walked slowly toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Xu Qing approached him. ¡°Qin Feng, I¡¯ve been trying to contact you via themunicator a few days ago but I could not get through. It¡¯s so good seeing you here.¡±

    ¡°Contact me?¡±

    Qin Feng gave Xu Qing a surprised look.

    Xu Qing nodded. ¡°After I left, Longchuan was in trouble again. There was no one calling the shots in the city; so, I was hoping to ask you about it!¡±

    It would seem that Xu Qing did not know what happened to Qin Feng.

    However, it made sense too. To Xu Qing, Qin Feng was more of a concerned citizen that he could get news from. Thus, Xu Qing did not give it much thought when he could not contact Qin Feng.

    Suddenly, Xu Qing¡¯smunicator started to beep. After checking hismunicator, Xu Qing had a huge shock.

    ¡°What the hell happened?! Why are you being hunted by the bounty hunters? And you¡¯re now a criminal in the Human Alliance?¡± Xu Qing asked.

    Qin Feng calmly replied, ¡°This is General Guang Wei¡¯s doing.¡±

    A stern look crept up on Xu Qing¡¯s face.

    ¡°Just what on Earth happened?!¡±

    Thus, Qin Feng told him everything that Guang Wei had done. Guang Wei¡¯s dirty businesses would be revealed to the world one day anyway. As such, there was no need for Qin Feng to help him maintain his good name. If Guang Wei had the guts to do all these bad deeds, he must also have the courage to face the consequences.

    Xu Qing¡¯s face turned grimmer and grimmer as he heard the news.

    ¡°So, in short, he used some trickeries to force you out. And shortly after that, Longchuan fell?¡±

    Xu Qing knew what Qin Feng could do.

    If he were not given intel about this, Xu Qing might not have given it much thought. Now that he had learned about what happened, Xu Qing slowly realized that it was Guang Wei and Lei Ying that caused all these ruckuses.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°I have very limited knowledge about Longchuan¡¯s attack. So, I hope you¡¯re not pinning this on me.¡±

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you seek me out for help?¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°General, being forced out is my personal problem. I can handle it on my own.¡±

    Xu Qing¡¯s face turned grim and asked, ¡°Qin Feng, be honest with me. Do you still intend toe back to the Human Alliance?¡±

 Chapter 468 - Reaching C-tier

    <h4>Chapter 468: Reaching C-tier</h4>

    Qin Feng was not Xu Qing¡¯s underling. If he went to Xu Qing, things might be solved quite quickly. However, this would not feel as good as him handling things on his own.

    Qin Feng was not going to rely on anyone for every small, meager crap thrown his way.

    And not only that, Qin Feng could use this newly acquired ¡°wanted¡± status and venture to the Dark Coalition. And he actually gained a lot from going to that dreadful coalition¡¯s territory.

    After hearing Qin Feng¡¯s answer, Xu Qing saw the calm demeanor on Qin Feng¡¯s face. Xu Qing could not help but to feel that Qin Feng had a disdain for the Human Alliance so much so that he thought seeking his help was not worth it.

    Nheless, Xu Qing continued on, ¡°We must take out all these bad apples in the alliance. If we let them roam around freely, there would be more and more good men like you being forced out.¡±

    Qin Feng shrugged. ¡°It does not matter to me if you bring them to justice. But in the future, there will be people begging me toe back.¡±

    The others in the scene did not know much about the situation; and they did not know who Qin Feng was. So, after hearing his words, they started to get pissy.

    ¡°You¡¯re just a D-tier aptitude user. And you¡¯re saying that the alliance would beg you toe back? What a joke! Just who do you think you are?¡±

    ¡°Oh, you think you¡¯re such a big shot? If you¡¯re so good, you won¡¯t be forced out!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! How dare you talk to General Xu Qing like this?! The general was giving you face just by talking to you. You better watch your tongue!¡±

    These people seemed to be really triggered by Qin Feng¡¯s attitude.

    Qin Feng took a cold look at these people and said, ¡°You have my word, General. Let¡¯s wait and see. As for you all, talk to me when it happens!¡±

    After saying this, Qin Feng left.

    ¡°Sigh. Qin Feng...¡± Xu Qing wanted to persuade Qin Feng further but it was toote ¨C Qin Feng¡¯s qinggong was so good that he vanished without a trace in mere seconds.

    The others were shocked when they saw this. Yet, after recalling what he said, they pulled up their long faces again.

    ¡°What a jerk!¡±

    ¡°Heh, it¡¯s just a bluff. Anyone can bluff. He will be running on his tail in no time!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s still young. He will see that the world is harsher than he thinks!¡±

    Xu Qing too did not expect to see this happen. And not only that, he had a hunch that something big was about to happen. Yet, this was just a hunch. He could not really point out the logic as to why he thought this was a short moment of peace before a storm kicked in.

    As for his underlings, Xu Qing knew they were just trying to defend him; so, he did not want to punish them.

    After all, Qin Feng was just a one-time ally. Sure, the man was really tough. Yet, if Qin Feng was unwilling to return to the alliance, there was no need for Xu Qing to keep trying to persuade him toe back.

    ¡°Okay, men! Let¡¯s go!¡± Xu Qing ordered and marched forward.

    His underlings too stopped with their chatter and quietly followed Xu Qing into the Psipur Holy Mountain.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng had gotten back to his aircraft.

    ¡°Guo Guan, fire up the engine. We¡¯re leaving!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Boss!¡±

    Guo Guan sheepishly acknowledged him.

    In the past few days, Guo Guan did not go to Psipur Holy Mountain. Still, he could feel a huge amount of stress on the airship¡ªthere were a lot of people on the ship, so it was not umon for a D-tier like him to be there.

    However, Guo Guan was quite surprised to see people from the City of Death here.

    After all, they were the ones who had murdered the owner of the City of Death!

    Other than that, many of them were quite interested in the aircraft and wanted to steal it for themselves. Thankfully, Bai Li was there to guard it; or else, the aircraft would have long been stolen.

    This ce was a really nerve-wrecking ce indeed!

    ¡°Boss, where are we going this time?¡± Guo Guan asked.

    Qin Feng ordered, ¡°Set course to Longchuan Mountains!¡±

    Guo Guan was surprised after hearing this. ¡°Boss, if you¡¯re heading to the Longchuan Mountains to hunt ultra beasts way before this, I would not object at all. But a month ago, a highly intelligent group moved into the mountains. It¡¯s dangerous to head there now!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°Yeah, I know. This aircraft¡¯s weaponry was robbed from those people!¡±

    Guo Guan was surprised again¡ªthis was the first time he heard about the origin of this aircraft¡¯s weaponry.

    ¡°Alright, Boss. Let¡¯s go. Wherever you go, I¡¯ll follow!¡±

    Guo Guan realized that perhaps his boss had some n in mind. Besides, no one would actively decide tomit suicide.

    Thus, Guo Guan turned the aircraft around and headed straight to the Longchuan Mountains while Qin Feng headed back to his luxurious room on the aircraft.

    It was time for him to train in silence again.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body had been strengthened all the way to D9-tier now. It would take just a little more for him to reach C-tier!

    Qin Feng had reached D9-tier just by killing a lot of insectoid beast kings and emperors in the past few days. And he had not used their cores yet!

    Qin Feng waved his hands and the cores started to move toward him.

    Thud! Thud! Thud!

    The cores came in all sizes. And there were a lot of them. If the crew saw this, perhaps they would go mad from their greed.

    To Qin Feng, however, these cores had only one use¡ªfor absorption.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    As the cores disappeared one by one, Qin Feng¡¯s body was strengthened gradually.

    A momentter...

    Boom!

    A powerful surge of energy gushed out of Qin Feng¡¯s body!

    C-tier!

    Everyone on the aircraft instantly felt a terrifying presence on board and started to tremble in fear. Yet, to their surprise, the rm was not sounded.

    ¡°Wait, isn¡¯t this our boss¡¯s aura?¡±

    As the presence started to fade away, Jin Fei instantly realized that it was Qin Feng.

    ¡°What? Our boss is now a C-tier? I thought he was still at D8?¡±

    ¡°Oh, this is nothing. When he first came to the City of Death, he was still D5!¡±

    ¡°He leaped from D5 to C-tier in just two months? Unbelievable!¡±

    To most people, even if they were given a lot of resources and a really sacred, serene ce to train, their progress would still be very slowpared to Qin Feng¡¯s.

    Thus, to them, it was quite difficult for any ordinary person to ascend five sub-tiers in just two months. In fact, it was quite difficult for them to even reach one sub-tier in a year!

    This was the difference.

    The difference between an ordinary man and a genius.

    ***

    At the luxurious room, Qin Feng let out a long breath.

    His body had been strengthened to C-tier, giving him immense power.

    Right now, even if Qin Feng was still not able to defeat a B-tier, he could now defend himself from them!

    Then, Qin Feng took out his gaea crystals.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    The power from the crystals instantly leaked out and gushed straight into Qin Feng¡¯s dantian.

    Now, the walls of his dantian had be really sturdy. Not only that, it had also been expanded greatly, making it possible for it to store a lot of internal energy.

    ¡°Nice!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes glimmered with joy.

    These gaea crystals were one of the great treasures that he did not get to acquire before he was reborn.

    And now, just by using a small amount of these, Qin Feng has acquired a huge amount of internal energy. If he were to use more, his power would be quite terrifying!

    ¡°Absorb! Absorb! Absorb!¡±

    The gaea crystals were constantly being absorbed into Qin Feng¡¯s dantian, fueling it further.

    A huge gaea crystal, one that was as big as a basketball, was enough to expand one-tenth of his dantian¡¯s current storage. And if he were to absorb ten of those, his dantian would be two times sturdier than it was.

    In other words, if Qin Feng wanted, he could make his dantian hold two hundred times more internal energy than most people on the. Even the B-tier aptitude users did not have such great supply of internal energy.

 Chapter 469 - Returning to Long Chuan

    <h4>Chapter 469: Returning to Long Chuan</h4>

    Still, Qin Feng was not satisfied.

    ¡°I have so many gaea crystals and I¡¯m stopping when my dantian has only grown twice as huge? How is that enough?¡±

    ¡°Those overpowered geniuses at Dragon Capital... all of them have dantians that are several times stronger than this. I¡¯ve even heard that in some powerful ancient warrior families, they even have their own unique, powerful neigong secret techniques!¡±

    ¡°They had to train since they were three years old. They had started training their neigong techniques. Most of them have already trained for ten years when they reached 16 years of age and ascended to D-tier. Their dantian could store several times more internal energy than any mere ancient warrior!¡±

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, came from one of the satellite towns in an underdeveloped city. It was quite rare for them to have any D-tier aptitude user; but whenever there was any aptitude user rising up, those tended to be really powerful.

    Nheless, it was amon phenomenon for Dragon Capital to get at least 10 D-tiers in a year.

    ¡°So, I¡¯ll keep absorbing!¡±

    He had harvested this many gaea crystals after all. If he did not use them all, what would he need them for? And Qin Feng had a lot of them too¡ªafter all, he was one of the firsts to climb up to Psipur Holy Mountain. As such, Qin Feng could afford to absorb one hundred of them without batting an eye.

    In the following days, Qin Feng kept absorbing the gaea crystals like a mad man. And thus, his dantian had grown ten times sturdier than that of an ordinary man. His dantian had now expanded to its maximum potential, and there was no way it could grow anymore.

    ¡°My dantian is now ten times sturdier than before. I suppose even those people in Dragon Capital can¡¯t achieve this!¡± Qin Feng nodded to himself in satisfaction.

    However, he did not intend to stop absorbing. He started to focus his consciousness at the Diamond Starglobe. As the gaea crystals were being absorbed, the Diamond Starglobe too was expanding rapidly.

    Compared to their effects on the dantian, the gaea crystals had more chemistry with the consciousness crystal cores.

    ¡°I see. That¡¯s why Xiao Bai has been hugging and nibbling on them all day. So, that¡¯s why!¡±

    These gaea crystals were indeed invaluable treasures. These were so beneficial to the aptitude users.

    Thus, Qin Feng kept on absorbing while the aircraft kept on moving forward to its destination.

    ***

    After the invasion of the Grans, the Longchuan Mountains finally started to be able to enjoy a little bit of peace. The Grans were an intelligent race; thus, they did not take up space in the mountains. Instead, they decided to move into the towns and cities that humans built.

    Now, there were Grans everywhere in the ten colonies. Some of them even kept humans as their ves. They had also taken up residence in Longchuan City ¨C the original ce where those high-tier aptitude users lived.

    The whole ce had now fallen to their hands entirely.

    Different civilizations had different concepts of what was valuable. Therefore, when the Grans explored and plundered the city, they were overjoyed to find countless priceless materials that the humans thought to be useless andmon in the area. One of the most precious things were the spatial stones.

    Thus, they kept plundering and plundering, increasing their wealth tremendously day by day.

    Due to them focusing their attention onnd now, there were only one-tenth of Grans on the Floating City now. Some high ranking Grans even piloted their own unique aircraft and ventured out toplete missions!

    ¡°Guo Guan, halt. We¡¯ll stop here.¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Yes, Boss! I have a document containing the recent intel in the area.¡± Guo Guan handed a document to Qin Feng. The document detailed the recent changes in Longchuan.

    There were still other Human Alliance cities in the Longchuan province. However, the Grans did not seem to intend to invade further, resulting in a stalemate between the two factions.

    However, the Human Alliance had lost one A-tier Aptitude User from the fall of Longchuan City. This was quite a great loss.

    ¡°Right. I¡¯ll head out tonight. All of you should get some rest!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Certainly. I¡¯ll let the others know. So, you want to head out to do some hunting, Boss?¡±

    ¡°Hunting?¡± Qin Feng smiled. ¡°Well, maybe. You could say this is a hunt indeed!¡±

    A few hourster, the night started to cloak the massivendscape of Longchuan!

    And in this environment, Qin Feng, who had dark abilities, felt great power surging in his body! Now, after absorbing two-third of their supply of gaea crystals, Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s crystal cores had been expanded to at least ten times than before.

    Theirbat prowess had certainly grown to horrifying levels!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    ¡°Now I can pinpoint a precise location and teleport us there!¡± Bai Li¡¯s power had advanced a lot. So, naturally, she was very happy to bring Qin Feng to his destination.

    In no time, they had zoomed past the entire Longchuan Mountains and reached Colony Three.

    And then, they kept on moving forward and arrived straight at Longchuan City.

    As they raised their heads, they could see a massive city-like structure hovering above Longchuan City. This was the ¡°city¡± that threatened the Human Alliance, the reason why the high-tier aptitude users dared not go near Longchuan City¡ªthe infamous ¡°Floating City¡±.

    Whoosh!

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng and Bai Li had teleported onto the Floating City.

    The lower half of the Floating City was a half-globe while the upper part was a massive t area withyers of towering structures and houses, giving a sphere shape from afar.

    The Floating City was so huge that it could easily house around 100,000 people. However, at this moment, the Floating City had only around 10,000 people in it.

    Thus, when Qin Feng and Bai Li teleported into the city, they were able to appear straight into an empty house, thus not seen by any Grans.

    This was why Bai Li¡¯s abilities were so great. As Bai Li scanned their surroundings once more, both of them vanished into thin air again before reappearing again in a massive room with devices and screens¡ªa room that looked like a control center.

    This control room was even bigger than the one in the aircraft. There were a lot of buttons and analogs. And more importantly, there were a lot of Grans moving about in the room.

    It was quite obvious that they were now deep inside the Floating City!

    ¡°Who¡¯s there?!¡±

    A Gran let out an ear-piercing screech.

    This was expected. After all, they did not expect Qin Feng and Bai Li to appear in the Floating City¡¯smand center!

    One of the Grans was a man with a pair of wings on his back, d in a colorful robe, emitting a powerful aura that was akin to a C-tier beast emperor¡¯s. This must be the general thatmanded the Grans to invade Longchuan City!

    ¡°Humans! Humans!! Kill them!¡± The Gran general pointed at Qin Feng and Bai Li and ordered.

    The other Grans immediately whipped out their weapons and took aim at Qin Feng.

    However, in the next moment, everything went dark.

    Then, excruciating cries could be heard everywhere.

    The Gran general could not utter another sentence before being cut down by Qin Feng with his Verdant Emperor Saber!

    In an instant, several Grans were in!

    Then, Qin Feng activated a few devices of the Floating City.

    Piloting the Floating City was quite different from piloting the aircraft. However, this was no problem for Qin Feng because he did get to pilot a Floating City replica in his previous life. So, he knew what buttons to push and which levers to pull.

    Not only that, there were also a few devices and controls that could only be activated via conscious energy.

    Usually, this would require a lot of people to coordinate together to perform proper control of the massive city.

    However, this was not necessary when Qin Feng was there.

    After connecting his consciousness to the controls, in an instant countless cannons were activated and started to charge up.

    All these cannons were aiming at Longchuan City.

    The Grans that were guarding the night at Longchuan City raised their heads in surprise as they saw the silver ray beaming up in the night sky. It was the Floating City, charging up its cannons!

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? The Floating City has activated its weaponry!¡±

    ¡°What are they doing? Are they nuts?!¡±

    ¡°Arghhhhhh!!!!!¡±

    Their confusion was never answered. All of them vanished and turned to dust as huge pirs of white beams rained down from the sky.

    Qin Feng had taken control of the Floating City and bombarded Longchuan City!

    Tens of thousands of Grans were now dead!

    Meanwhile, the rest of the Grans that were still active on the Floating City were all petrified as confusion and fear overwhelmed them!

 Chapter 470 - Impossible Feat

    <h4>Chapter 470: Impossible Feat</h4>

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why are we attacking our own people?¡±

    ¡°Whose order was that? This is impossible!¡±

    ¡°Quick! To the control room!¡±

    The Grans rushed to the control room anxiously.

    Yet, as they were on their way to the control room, countless auto-defense weaponry started to rain hell from above!

    In the past, these weapons would be attacking the intruders and enemies. Now, they fell to their own weapons.

    Qin Feng took control of the city¡¯s defense system and started to ughter the rest of the Gran poption.

    In just 20 minutes, the rest of the Grans, about 10,000 of them, were all ughtered by their own weaponry. It was a massacre!

    Then, when there were only a few Grans left cowering in fear, Qin Feng then piloted the Floating City away from Longchuan City.

    At the same time, the Human Alliance drones that were keeping an eye on Longchuan City too picked up on what was going on there. Several aptitude users rushed straight to the scene and were shocked to see what they found.

    In an instant, the news spread like wildfire.

    ¡°The Floating City has retreated?¡±

    ¡°And Longchuan City was destroyed?! What? And over 50,000 Grans were ughtered?!¡±

    ¡°Who did this?¡±

    Deep down, they knew this was definitely not the work of the Grans. They would not murder their own people.

    And half an hourter, they were now sure that the Grans had been defeated.

    The Floating City had bombarded Colony One to Colony Ten¡ªall of these colonies had fallen to the hands of the Grans. So, with all of these colonies being bombarded to ash, this meant that the Grans werepletely wiped out.

    Everyone was stunned when they received the newste in the night.

    The Human Alliance quickly sent their B-tier aptitude users to rush to the scenes for a quick surveince. If it were true that the humans had taken control of the Floating City, this meant that the dreaded city in the sky would not attack them now.

    Meanwhile, the Floating City did notpletely move out of the Longchuan province¡ªit went to the mountains and allowed an aircraft tond on its central za. A few minutester, the aircraft crew got down and stepped onto the city.

    ¡°Boss... Boss! Wow... so, this is your hunt?!¡± Guo Guan was shocked as he looked around him.

    It was totally out of anyone¡¯s expectation that Qin Feng was able to do this impossible feat in just a few hours!

    This was the first time Guo Guan stood on the Floating City. It was quite difficult for him to believe that he was now standing on the Grans¡¯ Floating City¡ªif you were standing at the edge of the city, the whole ce looked almost identical to a city filled with skyscrapers.

    Guo Guan was excited to see this unworldly technology!

    ¡°Alright, men! You can tour the ce some other day. Now, let¡¯s gather up the corpses and throw them off the city!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Yes, Boss!¡±

    Thus, the crew started to clean up the city while the Floating City flew to Longchuan City¡¯s Colony Three and hovered there.

    In less than an hour, a hover copter flew straight into the airspace of the Floating City.

    With a sharp look, Qin Feng could sense who was in the helicopter.

    ¡°Huh, so he dares toe, aye?!¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    Without hesitation, Qin Feng activated the Floating City¡¯s weaponry and started firing at the hover copter.

    Pzzzt Pzzzt!!!

    A shower of powerful beams darted straight at the hover copter, forcing it to fly out of the city¡¯s airspace.

    Having just narrowly escaped from a horrible death, the faces of the aptitude users on the hover copter had all turned as pale as a sheet.

    They had witnessed how the Floating City had in an A-tier fire-type ability user in an instant. They knew just how powerful this massive city was.

    Then, they tried to get near the city again. After all, the Floating City had aided humans to take back Longchuan City. So, the ones in the city could not be their enemies.

    Still, another shower of energy beams was shot at them again. The gunner that was piloting the hover copter was so afraid that he felt as though his limbs had gone numb.

    Then, he saw a message and opened his mouth, ¡°General Guang Wei, someone is requesting a videomunication from the Floating City!¡±

    Guang Wei beamed up with a smile. ¡°So, it¡¯s true that someone has robbed the Floating City from the Grans. They have destroyed the Grans. They have done great deeds for the humans!¡±

    Guang Wei could not wait to leave Longchuan province due to its shortage of resources. However, he was stuck there. After the higher-ups received news that he had fled amidst the battle, they had given him a stern warning.

    There was no way he could flee from the battlefield for a second time.

    So, when he heard that someone had seized and taken control of the Floating City, it was like a god-sent help that Guang Wei desperately needed. He was eager to thank the person who helped him with his predicament.

    ¡°But Sir, he was attacking us earlier!¡± One of Guang Wei¡¯s underlings, a C-tier, anxiously said.

    Guang Wei lowered his head and pondered before saying, ¡°Perhaps he did not want us to get close to the city yet. This is the Floating City, after all. There are so many people who want to own such a massive flying treasure. So, it¡¯s a natural response.¡±

    Everyone on the hover copter felt a throb of envy in their hearts!

    Who was it? Who was the person who now owned the Floating City? He was so lucky!

    ¡°So, he means us no harm. He could not just send a message to us and then kill us. Or else, he would have already shot us down as soon as we appeared in their air space. This is just a gentle tap, asking us to not bother them!¡±

    Guang Wei¡¯s voice was cold and calm.

    ¡°Establish themunication, pilot!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± The gunner activated themunicator after receiving Guang Wei¡¯s order.

    Then, a man appeared on the screen of the hover copter¡¯smunicator.

    A man that Guang Wei least expected.

    Guang Wei¡¯s smile froze the instant he saw the man on themunicator.

    ¡°You?! How could it be you?¡±

    The man was a youngster. A really young man.

    That was Qin Feng.

    ¡°General Guang Wei, long time no see!¡± Qin Feng smiled.

    It was quite amusing to see Guang Wei¡¯s face now.

    The person he wanted to thank right now was the person he had forced out¡ªQin Feng!

    How was he going to thank him? Not only that, Guang Wei felt that Qin Feng was trying to shame him via thismunication.

    What a really huge p to the face!

    Another C-tier underling, who did not know who Qin Feng was, smiled. ¡°Ah, so this man is an acquaintance of our great General Guang Wei. This is good news. Hey, were you the one who took control of the Floating City and wiped out the Grans?¡±

    ¡°Yes, that was me!¡± Qin Feng answered calmly.

    The C-tier said respectfully, ¡°Dear mister, you have done a great deed for the Human Alliance. The authority would definitely reward you for this!¡±

    Qin Feng started tough. ¡°Oh no, I¡¯m a wanted man in the Human Alliance, with my bounty ordered by General Guang Wei. I dare not receive such rewards. Besides, I¡¯ve already been to the City of Death a while ago... so I suppose you should consider me as part of the Dark Coalition now.¡±

    The C-tier was surprised to hear this.

    Qin Feng smirked, ¡°General Guang Wei, do you intend to kill me now and collect my bounty? No? Then how about this? Let¡¯s reverse the role. I¡¯ll do the killing, and the target is you. What do you say?¡±

    Guang Wei¡¯s face turned grim.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re not kidding, are you?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned cold instantly.

    ¡°Joking? Guang Wei. When you wanted me to pay the unfair price of 5 trillion, when you put a bounty on my head, were you joking too? If you weren¡¯t joking back then, why would I joke with you too?¡±

    As he was talking, the Floating City¡¯s cannons started to charge up and fire!

    ¡°Ahhhh!!¡± The Gunner screamed as he quickly turned the hover copter around in fear, trying to evade the energy beams.

    Qin Feng controlled the Floating City and kept on pursuing them, not intending to let them go.

    Guang Wei¡¯s face was as pale as a ghost¡¯s.

    ¡°What¡¯s... what¡¯s going on? General Guang Wei, was that man your enemy, Sir?¡±

 Chapter 471 - This Guy Seems To Be Guang Wei

    <h4>Chapter 471: This Guy Seems To Be Guang Wei</h4>

    Enemy? Was he not an enemy?

    It was not just that the situation had been turned on its head so quickly, but it had barely been a few months before the person returned!

    The original thought had been that it would not be too hard to kill a D-tier, it would be like crushing a bug.

    Now it seemed like they had offended a powerful enemy.

    Gunners piloted the hover copters but they were not enough to get out of the Floating City¡¯s attack range. If the Floating City were not really aiming for them, how would they have been able to avoid its relentless artillery fire?

    Just a barrage of covering fire and they would easily be shot down.

    ¡°Stop talking nonsense and run!¡± Guang Wei¡¯s face was as white as a sheet, feeling like he was being suffocated.

    ¡°Run? I need to be able to run first!¡± The gunnermented, then he looked like he just had an epiphany and said, ¡°General Guang Wei, what level is this enemy? If he could control the Floating City then it means we could do it too, if his control isn¡¯t that refined then General, you could rush toward the Floating City and the machinery would not be useful against you then!¡±

    Better than staying here and being bombarded.

    Guang Wei¡¯s eyes lit up at the idea and his heart beated with adrenaline.

    Qin Feng¡¯s original strength was only D-tier. It was hard to gauge his strength in this current situation but it could be presumed that he would not have improved very much in this short amount of time.

    Perhaps it was Qin Feng¡¯s girlfriend who had the space ability that allowed him tounch a surprise attack and take the Floating City.

    There was no need to say that Guang Wei guessed it correctly!

    ¡°That¡¯s right! You keep trying to avoid him. I¡¯m going in!¡±

    His eyes glinted, his morale had been improved.

    ¡®That¡¯s right, Qin Feng could deal with the Grans but he couldn¡¯t deal with me, otherwise, why would he have escaped with his girlfriend? If I beat him, doesn¡¯t that mean that the Floating City is mine?¡±

    The more he thought about this, the more riled up Guang Wei got. Even his normally cold demeanour had a touch of brightness that showed that he was excited.

    In the next moment, with a surge of consciousness, his body transformed into a small storm of ice.

    ¡°Hoo!¡±

    The small ice storm was pushed forward by the wind, scattering in all directions as it was blown toward the Floating City.

    Then the storm got bigger and bigger until it became a blizzard. Above the Floating City, a massive amount of snow appeared as if it was going to cover the whole thing in the blink of an eye.

    Guang Wei had changed into snow and actuallynded on the Floating City!

    Previously, the Floating City had a protective shield and the Human Alliance sent countless bombardment runs to destroy it but they were all fruitless attempts!

    But now, he had managed to arrive using such an obvious method!

    Not only that, the Floating City had stopped firing.

    ¡°Hmph, must have seen me and is trying to get an emergency rescue, and he stopped firing because of that!¡± Guang Wei thought, feeling very pleased with himself.

    ¡°Qin Feng, this has to be the dumbest thing you¡¯ve done!¡±

    Guang Wei extended his consciousness, wanting to find Qin Feng¡¯s location and control the Floating City.

    However, just as his consciousness spread out, a silver light appeared twenty meters away from him.

    Then, two figures appeared

    He felt a scorching heat rush to his face in an instant.

    The snow falling onto the city instantly melted.

    Guang Wei narrowed his eyes.

    ¡°C-tier! How is that possible?¡± Guang Wei wondered if he was hallucinating.

    How long did Qin Feng leave for? He was now C-tier!

    ¡°General Guang,ing in uninvited is bad etiquette!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are wanted by the Human Alliance and I am here to arrest you, we are beyond invitations now.¡±

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°You¡¯re right, but that depends on whether you can actually arrest me. General Guang, for yesterday¡¯s hatred, I¡¯m going to be repaying them in full today!¡±

    During the time in the Human Alliance¡¯s consciousness world, after being targeted by Guang Wei and then chased down, it was impossible to not be angry at the situation.

    Naturally there were grievances, and from grievances came revenge!

    ¡°So, you still want revenge? That¡¯s one of the worst jokes I¡¯ve heard this year. Let¡¯s see what you have then? That C-tier ability? It won¡¯t be enough!¡±

    As he spoke, ice-blue runes began to appear around him, forming into the silhouette of a phoenix.

    ¡°You¡¯ll know once you have a taste of it!¡±

    Qin Feng also unleashed his consciousness, runes floating up into the air and fanning out into the shape of a peacock.

    ¡°How could a peacockpare to my Ice Phoenix!¡± Guang Wei was filled with confidence, his consciousness surged and the Ice Phoenix soared.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and gently pushed forward, the Blue me Peacock then rushed forward.

    The two quickly collided, pping their wings to strike one another.

    The Ice Phoenix lowered the temperature of the Blue me Peacock, while the Blue me Peacock rapidly burned through the ice, causing its attacker to quickly melt.

    As the two shed, their final impact against one another ended in a resounding explosion.

    Shards of ice and mes were sent scattering.

    ¡°How is that possible?¡±

    Guang Wei could not believe it.

    Qin Feng¡¯s ability was as powerful as his.

    At that moment, Qin Feng mobilized his consciousness again.

    Several Blue me Peacocks appeared beside him.

    Guang Wei¡¯s eyes widened.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hands and pointed at his target.

    Guang Wei felt that the situation had turned for the worse.

    ¡°Icy Phoenix!¡±

    However, with the speed at which he condensed his runes, he was too slow and obviously could not do it like Qin Feng who unleashed ten in a single moment.

    The Icy Phoenix could take on one Blue me Peacock but there were nine more iing!

    ¡°Trail of Frost!¡±

    In a split second, Guang Wei retreated with the Blue me Peacocks still chasing after him.

    ¡°Ice Wall!¡±

    A massive wall of ice appeared in front of him.

    Boom boom boom!

    Three Blue me Peacocks mmed into it, instantly knocking down the wall.

    Guang Wei had only run for about a hundred meters.

    There were still six more behind him, rushing after him like targeted missiles.

    He continuously unleashed abilities to try and stop these attacks, but he could only release abilities while he was running away.

    The transfer of abilities took time!

    Even Guang Wei could not bear such an intense transfer.

    What was more, he suddenly realized that he had reached the edge of the city.

    There was nowhere left to go!

    ¡°Skcraw!¡± A Blue me Peacock rammed toward his position.

    Boom!

    Guang Wei was immediately sent flying.

    Meanwhile, the gunner who thought that Qin Feng had been already defeated by Guang Wei was cautious piloting his hover copter and his eyes lit up when saw a figure fall off the Floating City.

    ¡°Wow. General Guang¡¯s really fast!¡± said the pilot with admiration.

    The person who had been sitting behind General Guang earlier had a feeling of suspicion, but then he was shocked and began to panic.

    ¡°Hey? Wait... That man, that seems to be General Guang Wei!!!¡±

 Chapter 472 - A-tier Regent

    <h4>Chapter 472: A-tier Regent</h4>

    It was originally thought that Guang Wei was going to take the Floating City, but who could have expected him to get kicked out of it after no more than five minutes.

    ¡°What are you waiting for? Go grab the General!¡± Another C-tier quickly yelled.

    ¡°Ah, right right right!¡± The pilot snapped out of his daze and hurriedly flew the hover copter toward Guang Wei.

    Guang Wei¡¯s injuries were not serious, but the impact still shook up his innards.

    Most importantly, it was obviously unwise to try and fight again.

    Qin Feng¡¯s growth was too scary!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng stood at the edge of the Floating City, staring downward as his internal force transmitted his voice.

    ¡°General Guang Wei, how does it feel to be hunted down?¡±

    This sound made Guang Wei angry, but he almost fainted from getting the air knocked out of him.

    The gunner and the other C-tier looked in Qin Feng¡¯s direction, only feeling that they were looking at something that was unattainable and unfathomable.

    Otherwise, how could he have defeated Guang Wei so easily?

    Theirmunicators also began to rang and what just happened to appear was Qin Feng¡¯s wanted status on the Bounty Hunter Network.

    Obviously the person in front of them was not really a member of the Human Alliance, but a criminal.

    However, after hearing the conversation between Qin Feng and Guang Wei, both the gunner and the C-tier looked at each other and knew that there was a deeper history in this kind of situation.

    They both felt like a pair of bystanders that were roped into this madness.

    No matter, they could not just ditch Guang Wei and run.

    At this time, Guang Wei stood on the edge of the hover copter, ring at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re stubborn. You¡¯ve also made a great contribution this time, if you correct that attitude of yours then I wouldn¡¯t mind canceling your wanted status!¡± Guang Wei said in a menacing way.

    Guang Wei rationalized that if they could not be beaten, then maybe they could be reasoned with.

    ¡°Oh? Then you¡¯ll find a few more reasons for me to give up the Floating City? General Guang Wei, you¡¯re pretty good at nning but I¡¯ve been duped once, so why would I fall for it the second time?¡±

    Guang Wei¡¯s face flushed with anger.

    Duped?

    Qin Feng was only saying it lightly. Thest time Guang Wei demanded Qin Feng hand over his girlfriend¡¯s whip and a sum of money, did he not only not pay up, but also ran away?

    He said it like he was the one who suffered a lot!

    ¡°Qin Feng, you attack me now and you¡¯ll bepletely breaking off from the Human Alliance. Have you never thought of the kind of consequences you¡¯ll be facing?!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a frostyugh, ¡°An A-tier person can get killed by the Floating City¡¯s artillery. What are you going to do? Send an S-tier?¡±

    That was simply impossible!

    Guang Wei racked his brain, until finally giving into anger.

    However, he had already discovered that Qin Feng was invincible.

    ¡°What on Earth do you want?!¡±

    At this time, words were powerless.

    That was because Qin Feng had proven everything with his strength.

    ¡°What do I want? It¡¯s simple, General Guang Wei. You make everything clear to the public and give me justice, as forpensation...¡± Qin Feng smirked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted 5 trillion in the beginning? After I get back the money I have in my personal ount when it gets unblocked, youpensate me with 5 trillion instead! Of course, I took the Floating City all by myself. Don¡¯t me me for not being civil to whoever wants to get involved!¡±

    Guang Wei was ashen-faced.

    If the situation were known, then Guang Wei would get punished. Of course, when the strong were respected, the punishment would not be too serious. It would just be reputation and property that would suffer from it.

    It was just that Guang Wei could not give out 5 trillion.

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t you dare extort me!¡± Guang Wei could only struggle at this point.

    ¡°General Guang Wei, was that not the price you gave me? You think I¡¯m extorting you? You should be regretting your past behavior!¡± Qin Feng said coldly.

    Guang Wei wanted to tear off Qin Feng¡¯s mouth.

    He was being too unreasonable!

    Guang Wei did not think about how he had been before. What about the fact that he was unreasonably merciless?

    Qin Feng was only going in a tooth for a tooth.

    Only after he had proven himself to be stronger did Guang Wei realize this.

    ¡°Fine, after a few days I¡¯ll send someone over to give you an answer!¡± Guang Wei said, but he was nning to gather a few B-tier friends of his toe and assassinate Qin Feng.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll be waiting. I hope that you¡¯ll give me a good answer, General.¡± Qin Feng said. ¡°You can go now!¡±

    As they were high up in the air, Qin Feng used his internal force to carry his voice. The pilot naturally heard what he said and sank into his seat in relief, immediately turning around to leave.

    As for Guang Wei, he was still standing on the hover copter. His lower half was frozen over with ice, otherwise he would have been thrown off.

    Even so, he had to face the violent gusts of wind until he lost sight of the Floating City. Only then did he walk back into the cabin.

    ¡°Do not report this to the Human Alliance, I¡¯ll handle this situation myself!¡± Guang Wei said in a serious tone.

    The C-tier next to him trembled and finally opened up his dry mouth to say, ¡°General Guang, I¡¯ve just uh... I¡¯ve already passed the news on and...¡±

    Guang Wei immediately had a bad feeling!

    ¡°And what?¡±

    ¡°And...¡± The man gulped before continuing, ¡°And just now, I passed on the conversation between you two to the Human Alliance. Someone should have reviewed it by now!¡±

    Guang Wei did not look impressed.

    Then, hismunicator started to ring.

    [Human Alliance Notice: General Guang Wei, please use the consciousness connector to enter the Consciousness Realm!]

    Not only that, hismunicator began to ring again and again.

    Fu Wenjue: ¡°General Guang, I can¡¯t hide what happened before anymore. I¡¯ll admit my mistakes to the Human Alliance, I¡¯m very sorry!¡±

    He Liming: ¡°The plot¡¯s been exposed. I want to see how you exin yourself, and as for dragging me into this... If I¡¯m getting punished too, just you wait!¡±

    Wang Zhou: ¡°You forced Qin Feng to leave the Human Alliance? You know he saved my life before, are you trying to make me lose face?¡±

    Xu Qing: ¡°Guang Wei, you told me to not listen to the other side but how are you going to exin this now?¡±

    However, these were not the most important.

    Fu Wenjue and He Liming were both people who reviewed Qin Feng when he was trying to be governor of the Four Cities on the North Sea and they had little to do in this matter.

    Wang Zhou owed Qin Feng a favor and Xu Qing only cared about the situation.

    It was the next person that gave Guang Wei chills!

    Shang Han: ¡°General Guang Wei, I hope you can give me an exnation!

    Shang Han, an A-tier aptitude user, was thepanion of Cui Lian, who had died in an artillery bombardment during their attack on the Grans.

    This person was the one directly in charge of Bai City in the northern area of the Huaxia District.

    Based on her position, she was basically minister of war, and was incredibly strong.

    ¡°Regent Shang Han, please listen to my exnation!¡±

 Chapter 473 - Vindication

    <h4>Chapter 473: Vindication</h4>

    ¡°Exin to me? I¡¯ll listen to your exnation but I¡¯m sure that everyone else here would like to hear it too! Come to the Consciousness Realm!¡±

    Shang Han¡¯s words carried amanding tone.

    Not every A-tier served as a regent, but one who did had great status and great strength.

    Backing Shang Han was an extremely old ancient warrior family that produced an S-tier aptitude user about two centuries ago.

    They had oncemanded a power that wouldpletely dominate the sides of battle.

    Guang Wei did not dare refute at all and immediatelyplied.

    It was just that he naturally would not be able to bear the consequences alone.

    Guang Wei wanted a way out for himself.

    He turned to hismunicator and quickly dialed for Lei Ying.

    Lei Ying also quickly epted the call.

    ¡°General Guang, it¡¯s ratherte. What¡¯s your order?¡± Lei Ying had been injured, so he had been on retreat recently. Although Qin Feng had taken the Floating City and destroyed ten colonies, the time was only 2 o¡¯clock in the middle of night.

    When Guang Wei heard Lei Ying¡¯s tone, his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Lei Ying did not know about the situation with Qin Feng.

    That was even better!

    ¡°Upper Consciousness Realm, there¡¯s going to be an announcement!¡± Guang Wei said in a serious tone.

    Lei Ying did not know what was going on, but suddenly thought of something and asked tentatively, ¡°Could it be about the governor of the Four Cities?¡±

    After all, this was the only reason these two people were talking to one another.

    It was just that, after he had seen how quickly Qin Feng¡¯s strength was advancing, on the contrary, Lei Ying had not been paying much attention to the Four Cities on the North Sea.

    Guang Wei maintained his serious tone, ¡°When I say you¡¯re up then you¡¯re up, what nonsense is this, I¡¯ll tell you when it¡¯s time!¡±

    He was a B-tier aptitude user, he had enough power to crush people like gnats. Even the arrogant Lei Ying dared not refute him. He responded quickly and put on a consciousness connector.

    For aptitude users, their physical fitness had been greatly improved and most of their sleep time was taken by practicing. Although 2 o¡¯clock in the morning was rtivelyte, there were more aptitude users in the Consciousness Realm.

    As soon as Guang Wei entered, he saw the notification on his terminal.

    Guang Wei took a deep breath and epted the invitation on the notice. His vision blurred and when he regained sight he found himself in a huge auditorium this time.

    In the very front of the auditorium, arge chair had appeared. Shang Han sat in the center of the chair, her face devoid of emotion.

    She was a in looking woman, but her eyes held an enigmatic gaze as if she had seen the heat of the world and was tired from it. Her hair was meticulouslybed and she wore a gorgeous specially madebat uniform.

    On her chest was a very special badge!

    A-tier, Regent.

    Those that appeared beside her happened to be familiar people.

    B-tier aptitude users, Wang Zhou, Fu Wenjue, He Liming and so on. There were more than thirty ability users in the North.

    These aptitude users could be anywhere in the world, but so long as they were using the consciousness connector, they could get here.

    From the seating positions, only Guang Wei was sitting opposite them.

    Moreover, there was only one table and chair, but he also felt that he was being watched.

    That was because there were hundreds of C-tiers behind him.

    When he took a closer look, he realized that these were all C-tiers that participated in the battle against the Grans¡¯ invasion.

    This included Zheng Qian, who was still the deputymander of the Fengli Mercenary Troop.

    Then, even Lei Ying was here.

    Everyone had arrived.

    Shang Han had appeared early and after waiting for 10 minutes, everyone would have quickly responded.

    There were even people that did not receive the invitation who joined. The auditorium continued to expand and the seats automatically increased.

    However, Shang Han did not wait any longer. After seeing that Guang Wei had arrived, she immediately said, ¡°Now, let¡¯s announce the contents of this meeting!¡±

    ¡°The city of Longchuan fell, and 3 hours ago the Gran invaders, a Wisdom Tribe, were all wiped out by an unknown person. This person took control of the Floating City, which makes this a special case. As such, we will be discussing this person who suddenly appeared. How are we going to deal with it? After all, the Floating City... can kill even an A-tier person!¡±

    Everyone else became alerted.

    The Lord of mes, Cui Lian, an A-tier fire ability user, was killed by the city.

    There was no sadness on Shang Han¡¯s face, she still remained very calm and it seemed rather cold.

    While Shang Han was Cui Lian¡¯s partner, this partnership, to put it bluntly, was merely superficial. It was a marriage of convenience. In fact, Cui Lian had several lovers and Shang Han would not have settled with Cui Lian either.

    Both of them were too strong!

    However, Shang Han had to do what needed to be done.

    This was not just about Cui Lian.

    ¡°Let¡¯s take a look at this!¡±

    Shang Han did not say more and directly put up Qin Feng¡¯s information.

    A 3D projection appeared, allowing everyone to see what he looked like.

    Of course, there was not any information about him in the past few months and most of the information about him only existed after his awakening.

    [Qin Feng]

    [Date of Birth]: New Century 201 November 8th

    [Parents]: N/A

    [Address]: Three Cities Along the Sun-Chengyang City-Chengbei Colony-Orphanage

    [Date of Awakening]: New Century 217 June

    [Mission Record]: 217.9.8: Passed the G-tier aptitude assessment!

    The mission details came in one after the other, including the battle at Zimu Mountains, the battle in Han Town, the battle in Pinyun Colony and as the records continued, it showed that Qin Feng continued to get stronger.

    By February of 218, Qin Feng had arrived in Shadong Town and was certified as a D-tier aptitude user.

    Everyone was amazed.

    That speed was too fast!

    At this time, Zheng Qian waspletely shocked.

    ¡®I¡¯ve always known that the Boss was young, but I didn¡¯t expect that he has only been awakened for a year? He¡¯s only 17 years old?¡¯

    Now there were only two words in Zheng Qian¡¯s head to describe Qin Feng¡ªa miracle*!

    A divine miracle!

    However, this kind of talent left behind a disgraceful final message in the Human Alliance.

    [Record] 218.5.3: Qin Feng is suspected of dying major war affairs and causing the Human Alliance to lose thousands of aptitude users. The circumstances are serious. This case has been reviewed and is being investigated. He absconded in fear of crime, and is hereby wanted!

    Since then, Qin Feng had been removed from the Human Alliance!

    Everyone¡¯s faces were a mix of emotions.

    Shang Han said in a serious manner, ¡°Before this, Qin Fengpleted three rounds of siege and suppression missions. The first time, he killed 200 enemies. On the second mission he eliminated more than 2800 enemies. And the third time, he killed around 500 enemies in a single attack, there¡¯s even video evidence! With such a record, how did you review the case of him dying war affairs?¡±

    Shang Han¡¯s voice hit everyone¡¯s hearts.

    Suddenly, a person stood up.

    ¡°That¡¯s all nder!¡±

    It was Zheng Qian!

    Zheng Qian finally understood what happened!

    Qin Feng, her boss, managed to gain control of the Floating City.

    Although she was not sure how he managed to do it, he had always been so mysterious that nothing seemed impossible to him.

    And now, all of this was vindication!

    Trantor¡¯s Notes: The direct trantion from the original text describes as ¡®Proud Son of Heaven¡¯, or a simr divine/god-like equivalent.

 Chapter 474 - Final Voting

    <h4>Chapter 474: Final Voting</h4>

    Qin Feng had the capability to fight Guang Wei.

    He used his own power to create the current situation.

    Zheng Qian felt extremely happy.

    She could also recall what Qin Feng had said to her before he left.

    ¡°How they drove me out today, I¡¯lle back and drive them out the same way!¡±

    Qin Feng did what he said he would do!

    After hearing Zheng Qian¡¯s words, everyone directed their attention toward her.

    She felt that she had been locked onto by countless consciousnesses and was a little bit nervous but when she thought about Qin Feng she felt as if these people were not that scary after all!

    After all, what they could not do were things Qin Feng could do!

    And he was her superior, her patron. Her boss!

    In that instant, Zheng Qian¡¯s heart was full of determination.

    Shang Han asked, ¡°Are you someone with inside knowledge?¡±

    Zheng Qian immediately stood up and bowed to Shang Han. ¡°I am a C-tier ancient warrior who just recently ranked up this year, Zheng Qian. I serve as the deputymander of the mercenary troop created by Qin Feng. At that time, when the incident happened, I was next door to Captain Qin. The Human Alliance had sent a C-tier to give the captain a consciousness connector...¡±

    She did not hesitate to ry the entire story, especially mentioning how Guang Wei, Lei Ying and the dead Li Zishan partnered together to attack Qin Feng.

    Shang Han¡¯s face gradually became ghastly, in fact, she had already known about these things!

    And off stage, a pale-faced Lei Ying finally understood what was going on.

    Qin Feng had turned the situation on its head!

    The trouble that he caused was too great. The alliance wanted to find out what happened to Qin Feng before that and reconcile with him. Naturally, it was to find the culprit who wronged him and make thempensate him.

    And now, it was naturally Lei Ying who was the culprit, and Guang Wei of course!

    Lei Ying wanted to escape but soon a wave of consciousness locked onto him and a set of seats immediately appeared next to Guang Wei, where he himself instantly reappeared.

    His own consciousness was locked onto and imprisoned. If Lei Ying wanted to escape by force it could only cause irreparable injuries.

    It was toote to run now!

    The first thing was to see how the punishment would go. Nobody was going to die anyway, so the punishment would not be too serious.

    Lei Ying could only endure with gritted teeth.

    ¡°So all this happened in the Consciousness Realm? The people who received Qin Feng at that time,e out and exin!¡± Shang Han said.

    He Liming immediately stood up and said, ¡°Three months ago, Qin Feng nned to take over the position of governor of the Four Cities on the North Sea due to Wang Zhou¡¯s rmendation. However, back then, General Guang Wei rmended another person. He was inferior to Qin Feng in every way and used...¡±

    He Liming proceeded to go on and exin the events of what urred during that time and then pointed to Fu Wenjue and said, ¡°General Fu was also there at that time. He can prove that I opposed it, but General Guang Wei insisted on doing it his own way. Afterward, they warned me to not make things worse. That¡¯s about it. I didn¡¯t report this matter to the alliance, which means I am also responsible!¡±

    Fu Wenjue felt like he was going to cry.

    At that time, he dragged He Liming into the waters and now He Liming had shoved him into a river.

    He felt like both sides had no humanity!

    ¡°General Fu, is there anything else you would like to add?¡± Shang Han looked between the two.

    ¡°No, no!¡± Fu Wenjue said with a dry mouth.

    ¡°Right, now that the truth of this matter has been revealed, Qin Feng has indeed been wronged. ording to the regtions, his wanted status on the Bounty Hunter Network must be taken down and his personal ount restored!¡±

    Shang Han directly used her authority to restore Qin Feng¡¯s identity.

    ¡°However, this matter is not over!¡±

    Shang Han looked at Guang Wei and Lei Ying, along with Fu Wenjue with cold regard. ¡°Qin Feng has been falsely used, so naturally apensation must be paid in order to satisfy him. Otherwise, the pilot of the Floating City could join forces with the Dark Coalition. That would be the biggest joke of the century and I won¡¯t even have a job anymore!¡±

    Everyone nodded, giving Qin Feng his identity back was one thing, but finding a way to calm him down was another.

    ¡°Now, let¡¯s take a look at this!¡±

    Shang Hand yed another video. It was actually the dialogue between Qin Feng and Guang Wei while they were on the Floating City.

    This conversation also verified the things that He Liming and Fu Wenjue had said before as true. Not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s request was also frankly voiced.

    All this was recorded via drone and passed on to Shang Han.

    Among those C-tier aptitude users, it had also caused an uproar.

    While Qin Feng did not know many C-tiers, a lot of C-tiers knew about him.

    Cheng Dacheng, Han Chengming and Zheng Qian were naturally familiar, and there were several others who had seen Qin Feng¡¯s military exploits. He had wiped out too many Gran invaders!

    Such a person was being falsely used and extorted for 5 trillion at the time, and He Liming failed to mention this.

    Now, even they felt angry!

    If everyone were the same as Guang Wei, due to power and privileges, they could easily do this to anyone else at will. Who knew whether or not they would be next.

    The fox mourns the rabbit¡¯s death. Without lips, the teeth get cold!*

    B-tiers and C-tiers needed to look out for one another!

    Shang Han spoke again. ¡°Now everyone, let¡¯s discuss whether Qin Feng¡¯s request is reasonable or not so that it can be approved!¡±

    Many B-tiers began to speak.

    ¡°I think it can be approved!¡±

    ¡°Money aspensation seems reasonable!¡±

    ¡°Yes, I¡¯m afraid Qin Feng might want other punishments, like kicking Guang Wei and Lei Ying out!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, no matter how powerful and how much of a genius Qin Feng is, he isn¡¯t entirely faultless. The way I see it, it¡¯s best if we ept whatever is beneficial. Thepensation shouldn¡¯t be so much, just give half of it! Who here has never used their privileges? This is uncalled for!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng is basically trying to give the Human Alliance an ultimatum, that¡¯s too arrogant of him!¡±

    ¡°Figure out the situation, we don¡¯t even have good internal coordination. Now, Qin Feng¡¯s been wronged and not being given an exnation? Well, that¡¯s a bit disappointing, isn¡¯t it? Can the Human Alliance even develop further?¡±

    Gradually, the quarrelling began to spread throughout the crowd.

    Guang Wei felt relieved when he saw this scene!

    Obviously, there were still people on his side. After all, everyone had used their status before but Guang Wei crossed the line this time and the most important reason was that Qin Feng was too powerful.

    If it were not for his strength, Guang Wei would not be judged.

    Since everyone was still arguing, naturally, this matter would be settled through voting!

    ¡°Alright, everyone has their own opinions. We shall begin voting. A-tier aptitude users will have one veto vote. A vote from B-tier aptitude users counts as ten votes and C-tier aptitude users will have one vote. The voting begins now!¡±

    ¡°Whether to pay Qin Feng¡¯s request of 5 trillion forpensation!¡±

    ¡°Agree!¡±

    ¡°Agree!¡±

    ¡°Disagree!¡±

    ¡°Disagree!¡±

    Guang Wei and Lei Ying were both tense as they watched the poll data rise and fall.

    Their facespletely drained of color.

    Even Lei Ying, someone who was a C-tier ability user, was trembling all over.

 Chapter 475 - Heavy Penalty

    <h4>Chapter 475: Heavy Penalty</h4>

    When threatening others, he did not think that 5 trillion was a lot. After all, Qin Feng had probably earned that much during battles.

    But when it fell onto himself, 5 trillion would knock the air out of him!

    The number of votes rose steadily and finally reached an approval rate of 80%!

    Shang Han nodded and announced the punishment: ¡°Guang Wei will pay 4 trillion while Lei Ying will pay 1 trillion. You may mortgage items to the alliance to retrieve the money. You have a day¡¯s time!¡±

    Guang Wei put on a gloomy expression while Lei Ying¡¯s body swayed and he almost copsed onto his knees.

    Even when he had always boasted about how much money the Leitang Organization had, 1 trillion was the equivalent of all of his property.

    Shang Han¡¯s voice rang out again. It was obvious that this ruling was not over.

    ¡°As General Guang Wei abused his power, he is to be removed from his rank as a general. The voting begins now!¡±

    ¡°Agree!¡±

    ¡°Disagree!¡±

    ¡°Agree!¡±

    ¡°Disagree!¡±

    Guang Wei¡¯s face soured, but the increase in votes was not as egregious asst time.

    After all, Guang Wei was still a B-tier powerhouse. After so many years serving in the Northern region, his business contacts should not be underestimated. Most people believe that thepensation price was fair, but being stripped from his rank was a different thing.

    Soon, the results came out and Guang Wei was not dismissed as a general.

    Shang Han seemed to have expected this result, she nodded and said, ¡°The position of general for Guang Wei will be temporarily preserved!¡±

    He let out a sigh of relief.

    ¡°Other punishments will be carried out now!¡±

    Shang Han obviously did not n on letting Guang Wei go that easily.

    After all, Guang Wei was responsible for her partner¡¯s death. If Guang Wei were not punished, she would feel like it was unreasonable.

    Sometimes, only those who were truly strong would have the absolute right to speak.

    ¡°Other penalties will be imposed as stated. For a year, all of General Guang Wei¡¯s subsidiaries would be halted and any task rewards will be reduced by 50%!¡±

    Guang Wei¡¯s face turned pale.

    Shang Han¡¯s eyes were cold, and she continued, ¡°Punishment: Fu Wenjue, for a year, your subsidies are reduced by 30% and any task rewards will be reduced by 30%!¡±

    Fu Wenjue was taken aback, then smiled bitterly. He did not expect to lose all of the minor benefits he had gained back then, having to vomit all of them out. It was a year of resources, gone!

    ¡°Punishment: He Liming, even when you conducted yourself virtuously, you are still guilty. For half a year, your subsidies are reduced by 10% and any task rewards will be reduced by 10%!¡±

    He Liming thought himself to be innocent of crime, but he also knew that this was all Guang Wei¡¯s fault, so he naturally started hating him.

    ¡°Punishment: Lei Ying!¡± Shang Han¡¯s attention fell onto him.

    That person was not an employee of the Human Alliance and did not serve as governor or general so there was no statement about subsidiaries.

    Lei Ying was just a president of the Leitang Organization. The Human Alliance had very little control over these people.

    However, she knew just the way to deal with him.

    ¡°For a year, Lei Ying and his forces will have their task rewards reduced by 50%!¡±

    Heavy penalty!

    It could be said that the entire Leitang Organization had been brought to damnation because of Lei Ying¡¯s actions.

    No member of the group would want to turn in their tasks at the halls only to realize that they were getting half of the rewards back.

    Even when some of the Leitang members had physical properties and illegal side businesses, how many people could be amodated by these resources?

    How would these kinds of unbnce work out?

    And if their resources were to be reduced, the number of people who were dissatisfied would gradually increase. Leitang would be unable to provide sufficient resources and the entire organization would copse!

    This trick was truly vicious!

    ¡°The sentencing is over. Now, I require a representative to negotiate with Qin Feng. Would anyone like to volunteer?¡± Shang Han asked.

    ¡°Let me go!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡±

    There were actually two people who spoke up.

    One of them was Wang Zhou, who owed Qin Feng a favor. Of course, the two of them did not owe each other anything due to the rmendation. In the end, Qin Feng was screwed over by Lei Ying and Wang Zhou felt as if his reputation was on the line if he did not do anything.

    The other person turned out to be He Liming.

    He had audited Qin Feng and tried to speak in his defense but was ultimately useless in changing the situation. He still felt as if he could win Qin Feng over.

    After a divine miracle had ured, it should not be ignored but befriended instead.

    ¡°Yes, we will discuss thister. Meeting adjourned, you may all leave now!¡± Shang Han said.

    Then, Shang Han invited Wang Zhou and He Liming to have another round of conversation.

    ¡°This time, tell Qin Feng that his money will be given to him by the other parties, along with the position as governor of the Four Cities!¡± Shang Han said. This can be both his reward andpensation.

    Wang Zhou and He Liming nodded.

    However, Shang Han clearly had another order.

    ¡°What do you two think about the Floating City?¡±

    The two were surprised at the same time, but they both had the same idea of course.

    The Floating City could kill even an A-tier. Who would not want such a powerful weapon?

    What was more, the Grans obviously had technology that far surpassed their own. If it were studied, then even more powerful weapons could be made.

    Ability users were the strongest, but they needed to be awakened. Ancient warriors were strong as well, but they were restricted by physical strength.

    As for the gunners, even a child could kill someone if they had a gun.

    Gunners were the only profession that could be mass produced.

    This could change the current state of mankind!

    ¡°The regent wants to get the Floating City from Qin Feng?¡± Wang Zhou said.

    Shang Han thought for a while and said, ¡°Although Qin Feng is very young, he is hard to read. He was swindled by Lei Ying and with his skills could have easily assassinated the man but he didn¡¯t. It¡¯s almost as if he had expected this day toe!¡±

    ¡°Yes, if he really did kill Lei Ying, then the situation would be different!¡± Wang Zhou said with a sigh.

    He Liming thought for a moment. ¡°I don¡¯t think he wouldpromise so easily!¡±

    He saw Qin Feng once in the Consciousness Realm and could already guess his intentions!

    Shang Han nodded. ¡°In the video, even as a C-tier he could manage to suppress the B-tier Guang Wei. He is vain and arrogant, I doubt he would hand the city over so easily. Ask him for cooperation, to share resources and provide technology. Tell him that we¡¯re ready topensate him for it!¡±

    ¡°Right!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s fine by me.¡±

    All three of them thought that this idea was pretty good!

    ***

    On the Floating City, Qin Feng stared at the horizon as the sun slowly began to rise. However, his thoughts flickered quickly through his mind.

    ¡®Guang Wei and Lei Ying, the both of them might get punished but the Human Alliance wouldn¡¯t severely punish such a strong person. At best they¡¯d get a small fine or something.¡¯

    ¡®I don¡¯t need to pay attention to those two. The most important thing right now is how the Human Alliance is going to treat the Floating City!¡¯

    ¡®If they think they cane here and just take it, then they really have their heads in the clouds!¡¯

    A bright glint appeared in his eyes.

    If the Human Alliance did try to take the city, he could just easily leave with it.

    At this moment, hismunicator started to ring.

 Chapter 476 - Establishing Organization

    <h4>Chapter 476: Establishing Organization</h4>

    Qin Feng lifted his hand, it was a message from Zheng Qian. She did not make the call out of consideration that Qin Feng might have been sleeping.

    Zheng Qian could not wait until the next day to share the good news with Qin Feng.

    ¡°Noted.¡± Qin Feng replied. The oue did note as a surprise to him.

    ¡®So... I still have one more day?¡¯ He smirked. It was indeed a piece of encouraging news.

    Qin Feng took out his originalmunicator and switched it on. It had be functional again.

    Not only that but the consciousness connector had alsoe alive now.

    Qin Feng linked up the connector and instantly entered the Consciousness Realm.

    Inside the realm, other than thergest Huaxia office building of the Human Alliance, there were also an auction house, battle ring, etc. The realm wasparable to arge city.

    Even every person that had ess to the realm owned a house there. The aptitude users had collectively formed argemunity here.

    Qin Feng did not go to other ces and went straight to the Human Alliance office.

    The ce was open for 24 hours and the weakest staff here was at least an E-tier. Being served by these people was also considered a privilege.

    ¡°Mister, how can I help you today?¡± Consciousness did not require sleep but there were usually not many customers around this hour. The receptionist immediately sat up straight and looked at Qin Feng with a polite smile.

    ¡°I wish to register an organization!¡± Qin Feng conveyed his intention.

    ¡°Sure. You need to mortgage 100 billion assets to build an organization. Should I startpiling your assets now?¡± The receptionist asked.

    Such a financialption was a tedious process since it epassed assets of all kinds, including real estate, ie, etc.

    To establish an organization was not an easy task.

    Though no rule forbade a D-tier to build an organization, the amount of assets needed was not what a D-tier could afford.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to do so. I will pay with cash.¡±

    ¡°Eh? Alright!¡±

    The worker immediately helped Qin Feng to sign up for an organization ount. Qin Feng then transferred 100 billion as a mortgage. Though it still belonged to the organization, Qin Feng had no right to withdraw or use it. In other words, 100 billion capital flow had been locked dead even before the organization began its operation.

    ¡®What a wealthy young man!¡¯ The staff thought.

    ¡°The money is already in. Please give me the name of your organization.

    Qin Feng answered without dy, ¡°Fengli!¡±

    ¡°The name is not taken so I will proceed with the registration ordingly.¡±

    Qin Feng did not stop after he registered the organization. He logged out from the Consciousness Realm and realized it was already five in the morning.

    Qin Feng called Xue Xingfu through themunicator.

    Xue Xingfu was woken up by the super early ring and cursed the inconsiderate caller. He had no choice but to answer when he saw that the caller was his boss.

    ¡°You sure are lively all the time.¡±

    Qin Feng seemed to always contact him to discuss matters around this hour.

    ¡°Boss, what do you need?¡± Xue Xingfu asked urgently.

    ¡°I will be sending you some samples. These are going to be mass-produced in the factory I have recently set up at North Sea Desert. I will allocate 100 billion to you for publicity. Make sure the news reaches every corner of the northern region.¡±

    Xue Xingfu was puzzled. ¡°What product are you publicizing?¡±

    Qin Feng smiled and announced calmly, ¡°Fengli Organization, thergest firearms supplier!¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Xue Xingfu was even more confused than before. Since when did Fengli turn from a mercenary troop into an organization?

    Qin Feng did not give Xue Xingfu a chance to ask another question and ordered, ¡°You only have one day.¡± After that, he sent all the details on the firearm samples to Xue Xingfu.

    Xue Xingfu got up and read through it. He was deeply amazed.

    ¡®A cheap D-tier handgun that could be controlled merely through consciousness?¡¯

    ¡®A sma ster that could kill a C-tier beast emperor?¡¯

    ¡®Aircraft design? My god!¡¯

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s breath became shorter each time he turned the page and found a new product.

    He was wide awake now. Together with him was the Fengli Mercenary Troop that had gone under the radar for some time now.

    Everyone had received thetest update. Qin Feng¡¯s name had been cleared and he was no longer on the wanted list.

    ¡°Quick! Get your ass up and working now. I need the advertisement and words out in the cities by today!¡±

    They must achieve the goal set by Qin Feng¡ªto make Fengli Organization the biggest firearms supplier in the northern region.

    In one day, Xue Xingfu managed to make a big deal out of the few samples Qin Feng had sent to him and had the news be the hottest topic in town!

    ***

    Ring!

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator was ringing non-stop.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are back atst! I am going to return the captain position to you now.¡±

    ¡°Zhou Hao, thanks for your hard work while I was away.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I am just relieved that you are finally back.¡±

    Zhou Hao re-registered Qin Feng¡¯s name back into the troop and quickly switched back the captain position to Qin Feng.

    The change of personnel had of course drawn the attention of the other members of the troop.

    ¡°Captain is back!¡±

    ¡°Great! Captain has returned safely!¡±

    ¡°We sure felt insecure when you were away!¡±

    Qin Feng received a warm wee. He realized none of the original members had left the troop during his absence in the past few months. He was gratified by their loyalty.

    ¡°Once the operation is on track, I will give out bonuses to everyone.¡± Qin Feng promised.

    ¡°Thanks, Captain!¡±

    ¡°Eh? I think we should call him president now!¡±

    ¡°Haha! That¡¯s true. Captain has reached C-tier now too!¡±

    There was a huge disparity between a troop captain and an organization president, especially in terms of status quo and wealth.

    Qin Feng was no doubt proud of his own achievement. He againforted the troop members before hanging up. But themunicator rang again not long after.

    It was a call from Xu Qing. Qin Feng immediately picked it up.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are really unpredictable,¡± Xu Qing said.

    Qin Feng used only about ten days to conquer the Floating City. Before that, some C-tiers on Xu Qing¡¯s side still chastised Qin Feng for being arrogant. None of them could say another word now. The p on the face hade sooner than they expected.

    ¡°It¡¯s just a matter of time. I am right where I should be now,¡± Qin Feng said confidently.

    ¡°Such confidence. But I guess it¡¯s appropriateing from the mouth of someone who had imed the Floating City!¡± Xu Qingughed. Qin Feng clearly stood out from other people of his age.

    ¡°But you have to understand such a sudden surge of fame would only invite jealousy. Many people would be targeting you, now that you have taken down Floating City,¡± Xu Qing warned.

    Qin Feng had of course thought of it too. That was why he had taken a series of actions as precautionary measures.

    ¡°Thank you for your kind advice.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t wish for there to be any misunderstanding between you and the Human Alliance in the future.¡±

    One time was enough. They could not afford to push such talent away from the Human Alliance again.

    But powerful people usually loved to hoard resources. Shang Han probably would not give up going after the fortunes easily.

 Chapter 477 - Governor Badge

    <h4>Chapter 477: Governor Badge</h4>

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry General, I know what to do.¡±

    ¡°Okay. As long as you are aware.¡± Xu Qing thought that Qin Feng would give in so he did not talk further. He had done his part to remind Qin Feng.

    The conversation ended shortly after that. Qin Feng turned off themunicator and immediately went to bed.

    Those who were looking for him could only wait now.

    ***

    When Qin Feng was finally awake, it was already noon. Xue Xingfu did not remain idle during these hours. He had even constructed the basic structure of the organization and amassed a few hundred orders from different parties. The necessary resources to start running the organization had been put in ce by Xue Xingfu.

    Qin Feng did not need to worry about anything on the business side. He was bombarded by ample advertisements as soon as he switched hismunicator back on. Xue Xingfu did a brilliant job in publicizing the direction of the newly established Fengli Organization.

    A new organization rarely set out to do firearm business. After all, this faction had long been monopolized by the Wanzong Organization. It was almost impossible topete with Wanzong¡¯s capitals and resources.

    But Qin Feng could because he had developed a novel technology, which Wanzong could not replicate. This immediately diluted half of the market that was originally dominated by Wanzong.

    Wanzong could not do anything to stop Qin Feng because it was not a technology that could be imitated overnight.

    Of course, the actual product was still not out in the market yet but Qin Feng¡¯s personal wealth was sufficient to cover the entire startup cost.

    The news quickly reached the powerhouses such as Shang Han, He Liming, Fu Wenjue, and Xu Qing.

    Even Guang Wei and Lei Ying had heard.

    ¡°This young guy is truly admirable,¡± Fu Wenjue was amazed after he saw the advertisements.

    Of course, Qin Feng was using it as his leverage.

    He did not keep the technology to himself. Neither did he surrender it to the Human Alliance nor Shang Han. Instead, he was offering it to everyone at a reasonable price.

    Shang Han had no reason to ask Qin Feng to hand over the Floating City now. The presence of the Floating City had be an open secret under Xue Xingfu¡¯s effort. If she insisted on forcing Qin Feng to give up the city, then she would most certainly receive bacsh not only from themoners but also people who bought the firearms from Qin Feng.

    This would greatly tarnish her reputation, especially when she was a well-respected A-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°Regent, are we going to continue with our n?¡± He Liming asked.

    Qin Feng¡¯s action hadpletely caught Shang Han off guard. ¡°No. We can just buy it from him.¡±

    She initially wished to monopolize the technology but Qin Feng had beaten her to it. Now, she would never know whether the weapon Qin Feng hadmercialized was the strongest version or not.

    Xu Qing and his subordinates were stunned by the unexpected development too.

    Xu Qingmented helplessly, ¡°I thought he would surrender the city to Shang Han and make her his backing. This is truly unexpected...¡±

    ¡°General, though he does benefit greatly by doing so, is it really wise and worth it to offend the regent?¡±

    There was no love lost between Xu Qing¡¯s men and Qin Feng to begin with. After Qin Feng had sessfully toppled the Grans, their bitterness toward Qin Feng only grew stronger out of jealousy.

    Qin Feng¡¯s sess had exposed their incapability and short-sightedness. Hence, they would never acknowledge his action.

    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t think Shang Han would be offended. This is just Qin Feng telling the world his stance.¡±

    ¡°What stance?¡±

    ¡°That he would not bow to anyone for protection.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s...¡± Xu Qing¡¯s subordinates did not know what to say. They did not know whether Qing Feng was being smart or pompous.

    Xu Qing thought about it and said, ¡°Perhaps, he is stillcking confidence over the Human Alliance after what happened. With his current status and influence, he will be weed wherever he goes.¡±

    Firearm dealers had a greatmand of power in the modern world.

    Gunners were the easiest manpower to nurture among aptitude users, after all.

    ***

    The next afternoon, Fu Wenjue and He Liming had arrived at the Floating City subsequently. Qin Feng did not invite them to visit the Floating City but led them to the aircraft underneath it. He could easily finish them off with a st from the energy cannon of the Floating City.

    Though the two visitors were aware of the risk, they had no other choice but to follow Qin Feng.

    The inside of the aircraft was grander than they expected.

    ¡°Have a seat, Generals!¡± Qin Feng waved and signaled for the two generals to sit down. He had prepared tea for them.

    ¡°This aircraft is pretty decent. I am tempted to order one now.¡±

    ¡°I agree. It provides stealth even for arge troop and it¡¯s suitable for living in the wild too.¡±

    ¡°Exactly.¡±

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°It seems I have just gotten myself another two purchases!¡±

    ¡°Good things will always attract buyers.¡±

    The three of them chatted randomly and got to the main point after a while.

    ¡°Qin Feng, we know that you have been through a lot. The regent had called for a hearing and voted to free you from all the false usations.¡± Fu Wenjue said.

    He Liming was even more direct. ¡°You can connect to the battle now and im 500 billion from the Human Alliance into your personal ount as yourpensation.¡±

    After that, they informed him regarding the punishment of Lei Ying and Guang Wei.

    Qin Feng already knew about that. Zheng Qian had been following news about Lei Ying closely because of Gao Yukang.

    Lei Ying had lost almost everything in one day.

    He had to mortgage most of his equipment and current assets. His businesses near the Four Cities of the North Sea and Three Cities along the Sun had all been auctioned out. In this way, he managed to gather a few hundred billion and minimize the loss.

    Since Lei Ying knew that the Leitang Organization was going to go bankrupt soon, he had the E-tier and D-tier aptitude users under him fork out 100 million and 1 billion, respectively.

    He nned to use the money to prevent his members from leaving the organization. Some did stay because of the money, but many were disgusted by his actions and decided to cut ties with Leitang forever.

    No matter what, the once prosperous Leitang hadpletely copsed overnight.

    ¡°I am content with the decision.¡± Qin Feng nodded. At least, he had achieved his goal.

    Sometimes, death alone was not miserable. True misery was like what had happened to Lei Ying. He was well and alive but had nothing left.

    Besides, Lei Ying had been heavily injured by Qin Feng several times and he was not as strong as before now.

    ¡°Great. Now, onest matter.¡± He Liming turned solemn and took out a box. ¡°Qin Feng, I, as a representative of the Human Alliance from the Hua Xia region, officially appoint you as the governor of the Four Cities. I hereby present you the governor batch.¡±

    It was the same badge that Gao Yukang had before.

    A C-tier governor badge.

 Chapter 478 - Expanding Feng Li City

    <h4>Chapter 478: Expanding Feng Li City</h4>

    The two B-tier generals did not stay for long after handing over the badge. The cannons of the Floating City were still aiming at the aircraft after all.

    After they left, Qin Feng looked at the badge and sighed quietly.

    He had finally reached C-tier and gained the governor position. He was even given the badge without having to go through the C-tier aptitude test.

    This time, he finally fulfilled what he had promised Gao Yukang.

    ¡°Members of the Fengli Mercenary Troop, we will gather at Niumeng City at once. We are going to arrange a funeral and pay Governor Gao hisst respect,¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Zheng Qian could not hold back her tears when she heard the order. They had waited for this day for too long.

    Qin Feng acted swiftly and the funeral was held three dayster in Niumeng City.

    The city was once again flooded by a few hundred D-tier aptitude users.

    From fifty mercenaries of the Fengli troop to the management of the Four Cities as well as representatives from various ancient warrior families, many had attended to pay respect.

    Gao Yukang¡¯s body was rtively whole. His perforated chest had been filled and he was dressed in an army suit to cover the lethal wound.

    The news of Gao Yukang¡¯s death was only known among the high-ranked officers. Some D-tiers might have been told about the incident, while most E-tiers had heard nothing of it.

    The crowd watched in silence as Gao Yukang was being buried.

    The attendees were dazzled not by the scale of the event but the host behind it.

    Qin Feng walked up the stage after the ceremony. The C-tier governor badge pinned on his chest was eye-catching,

    ¡°From today onward, I will seed the role as the governor of the Four Cities of North Sea under the direct order of Regent Shang Han...¡±

    Qin Feng was only making a simple announcement but everyone under the stage knew that the power distribution in the North Sea had been greatly reshaped.

    ¡°He is the sessor? How is that possible? A C-tier at this age!?¡± D-tiers from the Hou family were shocked.

    ¡°Who would have thought?¡± Members from the Tieh family appeared gloomy as well. They nced at each other and were nervously considering what to do next.

    Both the Tieh and Hou families had offended Qin Feng at one point in the past.

    They could never forget how the Xue family was being single-handedly dismantled by Qin Feng.

    Of course, Qin Feng could not destroy the two righteous ancient warrior families like how he had dealt with the Xue family, which was linked to the Dark Coalition. However, it would be hard for them to fawn the new governor.

    In contrast, the Yang family was happy to see the coronation of Qin Feng since they were in a rtively positive rtionship with the new governor.

    On the other hand, the dukes of the four cities were also discouraged by the announcement and could only smile bitterly. From Gao Yukang to Qin Feng, both were young prodigies that made a name for themselves at such a young age. Even if they could reach C-tier one day in the future, the chances were still razor-thin for them to oust Qin Feng from the governor spot.

    Unless something unthinkable were to happen to the governor, just like how Gao Yukang was killed unexpectedly during a mission.

    Yet, the sessor was not chosen among the four dukes but a more promising outsider.

    If something were to happen to Qin Feng, the higher-ups could always find someone else to fill in, like how they had put Qin Feng into Gao Yukang¡¯s position. The chance would never go to the four dukes. Moreover, none of the dukes believed that thunder would strike the same ce twice.

    What Qin Feng had done was ridiculous and he definitely deserved the appointment. It was destiny calling.

    ¡°Governor, this is my contact. I will directly report to you in the future.¡±

    ¡°Here¡¯s mine, Governor.¡±

    ¡°Governor, we will follow your lead from now on!¡±

    The four dukes approached Qin Feng to congratte him while confirming their city¡¯s direction in the future under the new governor.

    ¡°I am not going to make a drastic reform and will not interfere with your governing. Just continue the good work you have been carrying out all this while.¡± Qin Feng was clearly reluctant to get involved with bureaucratic matters of the other cities.

    The most vital task at hand for Qin Feng was to develop the surroundings of the new Shadong town. He wanted to build up a real super city so naturally, the four cities were way down his priority list.

    ¡°Look for me at Shadong town if you need me.¡± Qin Feng said and returned to the base with the Fengli Mercenary Troop.

    Niumeng was once again a quiet town after the funeral. Shadong town was theplete opposite.

    In just a few months, the surroundings of Shadong had undergone a total transformation.

    The town was no longer encircled by endless deserts. Instead, paddy fields were seen at every corner of the town. The soil had be fertile and the air was no longer shrouded by sand. It had turned from a hostile ce into a lively residence!

    On top of Shadong town, the Floating City hovered majestically while monitoring the activity around the town. It was certainly a daunting presence and no one was daring enough to stir trouble in this ce with the Floating City watching.

    Chen Xiang and Gao Li who came from Shadong could not believe their eyes when they returned to their homegrown town.

    ¡°Captain, I don¡¯t think the name Shadong suits this ce anymore,¡± Chen Xiang joked, ¡°I see no moving sand* around here!¡±

    ¡°I agree. Why don¡¯t we change its name to Fengli colony? That would resonate better with our organization¡¯s name. Shadong is in the past.¡± Gao Li echoed Chen Xiang¡¯s suggestion.

    Xue Xingfu was right by Qin Feng¡¯s side. Qin Feng had brought back a lot of pleasant surprises this time. All these had sessfully materialized into profitable businesses. Xue Xingfu believed that the business would keep on expanding and the resources would keep rolling into their pockets.

    ¡°The name Fengli has been used for a small colony the president built in the past.¡±

    ¡°Oh, I forgot about it entirely. But since our president is now a governor, it¡¯s fine to just let the small colony go.¡±

    They discussed frantically as Qin Feng was immersed in his train of thought.

    ¡®Since I am now the governor of the North Sea, I should no longer hold onto the mayor position of the Three Cities. It¡¯s time for me to transfer the position to someone else. That ce is no longer suitable for further development anyway.¡¯

    ¡®But I cannot let go of the Zimu Mountains just yet. My garden is still there, and then there¡¯s this fissure to be dealt with. It¡¯s time for me to go back to Fengli colony and settle the problems I have left behind.¡¯

    Qin Feng had left Fengli colony for about half a year now. It was time to head back and check on it.

    This was when Bai Li voiced her opinion in a crisp voice, ¡°Why don¡¯t we call it Fengli City? If this ce is going to be the headquarters of the Fengli Organization and where the governor will reside, isn¡¯t it too stingy to call it a colony?¡±

    Everyone was stunned when they heard Bai Li and turned to Qin Feng.

    Expanding Shadong Town did not require a whole lot of money but the poption, defense system, and weaponry were the major problems.

    All this required Qin Feng¡¯s approval.

    Qin Feng looked back at them and chuckled, ¡°Why are you all looking at me? Go and do it now.¡±

    Xue Xingfu immediately replied, ¡°Yes, President!¡±

    ¡°Haha, Fengli City, that¡¯s not bad!¡±

    Everyone was inspired. They might not have followed Qin Feng for long but they knew that they were witnessing the rise of a legend.

 Chapter 479 - An Old Friend

    <h4>Chapter 479: An Old Friend</h4>

    Inside the slums of Chengbei colony.

    A female figure was seen dragging a garbage truck in a narrow alley.

    Even though it was a hot summer day, the girl still wrapped herself in a long sleeves cloth and did not expose any inch of her skin. One of her legs was fixed on a cheap metallic prosthetic.

    She flipped the garbage truck over, and a decaying body fell out from it. The girl was not startled by it. In fact, she was a little intrigued by what she had just found.

    She searched through the body quickly. Unfortunately, there was nothing valuable found on it. Her excitement immediately vanished, and she continued to pige through the alley impassively.

    No matter how many times the streets were being cleaned up, it could not rid itself of the rotten odor that had permeated into every corner of the slums.

    Two guys paced wobbly toward the girl from the other end of the alley. The girl hastily looked down and avoided eye contact.

    The two did not n to let her loose easily. They cornered the girl quickly. One of them snatched her hat away rudely.

    There was a pretty face hidden underneath the hat.

    ¡°Haha. Just like I told you. One he good looking girl!¡±

    ¡°Too bad she is a cripple!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t mind as long as other parts of her are still intact, hehe!¡± The guy spoke vulgarly and reached in to grab the girl¡¯s chest.

    The girl took out a de and bellowed, ¡°Leave me alone!¡±

    ¡°Look at that! A pepper! Just the type I love!¡±

    ¡°You wish to have another leg broken? I can help you with that!¡±

    The two ruffians closed in and were not deterred by thedy¡¯s weapon.

    The girl panicked but she pretended to be ruthless.

    ¡°Let me warn you. The mayor of Fengli colony is my ssmate. He is very powerful... He is... He is an E-tier aptitude user! Don¡¯t you dare touch me!¡±

    The two ruffians hesitated and stopped moving. But soon, one of them sneered, ¡°If your friend is a mayor, then why are you picking up garbage here?¡±

    The other guy also rxed and mocked, ¡°ssmate? Is he in the same ss as you during primary school? Who would remember a cripple like you after he has awakened? Stop making up connections that you don¡¯t actually have!¡±

    The girl was rattled after her lie was seen through. In that short instance of zoning out, one of the guys had grabbed onto her shoulder.

    Hermunicator was instantly smashed and she had lost the only thing that would allow her to call for help.

    ¡°Lady, be obedient. I will reward you after this!¡±

    ¡°We will kill you if you don¡¯t listen to us!¡±

    ¡°Let me go! Scram, you two pathetic scums!¡± The girl shouted angrily but she was unable to free herself from their grip.

    This was when a luxury hover car stopped at the end of the alley. Then, a tall figure came flying in.

    The next moment, the two ruffians were sent flying backward, smashing onto a wall.

    ¡°Yang Qian!¡± Qin Feng was infuriated when he saw Yang Qian¡¯s pity state.

    Yang Qian was indeed Qin Feng¡¯s ssmate. Nheless, since Qin Feng had been reborn at the point in time after his awakening, their friendship in primary school went way back to his previous life.

    Other than Zhou Hao and Chen Ming, Qin Feng actually did not remember much about the other ssmates. He had even forgotten some of them.

    From Qin Feng¡¯s perspective, those things had taken ce more than a few decades ago.

    Because of his rebirth, their fate had all been altered radically. Their reunion turned into an ambush by the Dark Coalition. Consequently, Yang Qian¡¯s future strayed from being a promising teenager into a disabled person.

    When Qin Feng decided to return to Fengli, he had decided to at least pay Yang Qian a visit. It shocked him greatly to see Yang Qian¡¯s current situation.

    ¡°Qin... Feng!¡± Yang Qian called out his name after hesitating for a while. After all, Qin Feng had changed a lot too since theyst met, which was one year ago.

    Yang Qian would not believe that the person standing in front of her was the Qin Feng she knew. Other than his face that did not change much, his height, figure, and vibe were an entirely different entity now.

    Behind her, the two ruffians scrambled to their feet and groaned in pain. Qin Feng did not wish to terrify his old friend so he did not immediately kill the two ruffians.

    ¡°Spare my life!¡± The two ruffians went down on their knees to beg for their lives after having a taste of Qin Feng¡¯s power.

    They were both stunned when they saw the badge on Qin Feng¡¯s chest.

    ¡°F*ck! Who are you trying to fool? C-tier? Why would a C-tiere to this slum? That must be fake!¡±

    Yang Qian looked at Qin Feng and she, too, gasped in disbelief.

    The badge on Qin Feng¡¯s chest was indeed representing C-tier.

    Faking an aptitude user badge would be punished heftily if being caught.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you...¡±

    ¡°Whether I am a C-tier or not, do you think the two of you can defeat me?¡± Qin Fengughed coldly. He then turned to Yang Qian. ¡°How should we deal with them?¡±

    Yang Qian looked back at him and said determinedly, ¡°Kill!¡±

    Qin Feng was a little surprised by the answer.

    Yang Qian kept her voice low. ¡°They have seen your badge. It¡¯s best to shut them up.¡±

    Qin Feng initially nned to let the two ruffians go but Yang Qian was the one who had suggested killing them here. From Yang Qian¡¯s expression, Qin Feng realized this old friend that he did not really know in both this and his past lives was not as vulnerable as he had thought.

    More so, Yang Qian might have gone through some really dark moments in her life.

    Qin Feng¡¯s unfortunate past disappeared the moment he was awakened. He now remembered that he was living the exact same life before he was sixteen years old.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s kill them.¡±

    Qin Feng snapped his fingers and ignited two fireballs. The fireballs erged gradually in the ruffians¡¯ eyes and eventually burned them alive.

    The two men did not suffer for long.

    Despite knowing that Qin Feng was going to kill them, Yang Qian never thought that it could be done this easily and horrifyingly.

    ¡°That¡¯s scary, Qin Feng. We all thought that you had only awakened the ancient warrior ability. It was too chaotic then for me to realize that you also possess the fire ability. Of course, I have seen a lot of your battles through some of the PR videos.¡± Yang Qian sounded calm when she mentioned the tragic reunion back then.

    A lot of things that might seem unfortunate in other¡¯s eyes may no longer matter to the victim. Let bygones be bygones. What was the point of clinging on to the loss when one could still live on with dignity?

    Qin Feng asked, ¡°Zhou Hao and I have given you money. Why are you still in such a state now? Are you being oppressed?¡± He recalled another old acquaintance of his¡ªXiao Jing.

 Chapter 480 - Reunion

    <h4>Chapter 480:</h4>

    <h4>Reunion</h4>

    The unfair treatment from Xiao Jing¡¯s parents had led her to take part in ultra beast hunting in the wilderness, which had then set her path to be an ancient warrior.

    Could Yang Qian have also faced the same situation?

    Yang Qian felt ufortable and reluctant to exin further, she added on, ¡°This is not a good ce for us to have a conversation, let me buy you something!¡±

    Qin Feng showed no signs of disagreement and nodded

    Both of them exited from the alley, Qin Feng opened the door for Yang Qian, and she seemed to be a little awkward.

    ¡°Just a couple of streets away, let¡¯s just walk, and there is dirt on my clothes!¡± Yang Qian said.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it! Get in!¡± Qin Feng answered in amanding tone, while Yang Qian subconsciously agreed and followed Qin Feng¡¯s instructions.

    As soon as Yang Qian got in, she noticed that there was another person at the passenger¡¯s seat.

    It was Bai Li.

    ¡°Hello!¡± Bai Li smiled at Yang Qian.

    Yang Qian was caught in a surprise by Bai Li¡¯s smile, as she had not seen such a beautiful female in her entire life, and she even felt embarrassed for herself.

    Qin Feng introduced them, ¡°This is my girlfriend, Bai Li, my ssmate, Yang Qian!¡±

    Bai Li nodded. ¡°I have seen her before!¡±

    A bell rang in Qin Feng¡¯s mind, it was during the ssmates gathering where Bai Li was still in thebat backpack.

    ¡°Yes!¡± Qin Feng nodded.

    Yang Qian did not expect Bai Li to recognize her, from her own memories, she could not recall any of her past encounters with Bai Li, and even if they did meet each other, she would never forget about it.

    The car travelled at a high speed, and within the blink of an eye, Yang Qian immediately pointed out: ¡°Ay, we have passed it, this is the right street, yes, this is the ce!¡±

    The morous and fancy looking hover car stopped at the entrance of a small-sized stall, and it had caught everyone¡¯s attention.

    Then, Qin Feng exited the car with the others and found their seats at a roadside stall.

    Yang Qian immediately felt bad that she was not able to host Qin Feng and Bai Li at a decent ce, and both of them seemed to be outcasts in the surroundings.

    However, Qin Feng seemed to be quite familiar with the ce and immediately ced his meal orders, and as soon as the dishes were served, he immediately continued the conversation with Yang Qian.

    ¡°What happened, how did you end up like this? Why didn¡¯t you go to the Fengli colony?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Yang Qian felt awkward in having to express herself, she began to exin, ¡°I did not use any of the money that was given by you and Zhou Hao, and I do have my own reasons for my return!¡±

    Qin Feng hinted at Yang Qian to continue.

    Yang Qian did not want to trouble Qin Feng with her own injuries that had heavily burdened her family with a huge sum of expenses for her treatment. Ever since they had be aptitude users, Qin Feng and Zhou Hao handed over a sum of money to her, and to her, it was indeed a huge amount of money.

    Of course, to Qin Feng, a hundred thousand from each of them was not a huge sum at all.

    However, for any ordinary person, they could forget about having two hundred thousand as it was already impossible for them to umte a hundred thousand throughout their entire lifetime.

    Yang Qian continued, ¡°Zhou Hao told me that there is a spirit herb that could restore amputated limbs, and I am saving up for that!¡±

    Hence, she did not spend any of the money that she received from Qin Feng and Zhou Hao, and she had even kept it as a secret from her parents, she would only use it if she were to encounter any opportunity to purchase such a spirit herb.

    Qin Feng stared for a short while.

    ¡°Do you know how much such a spirit herb costs?¡±

    ¡°No, I don¡¯t, I was not told by Zhou Hao either, however, I do believe that it could easily be worth millions, or perhaps tens of millions! I believe that I would have the chance to purchase it!¡± Yang Qian answered.

    Indeed, Yang Qian had epted the fact that those were the difficulties that she had to face.

    However, it would also be urate to describe her as a stubborn person that would not give up on the final hope that she had granted herself. Perhaps it was being granted by Zhou Hao, regardless, it was still an unrealistic and unachievable goal for an ordinary person.

    It could possibly cost a fortune for any C-tier aptitude user to achieve restoration of amputated limbs, and it was a luxurious wish for any D-tier aptitude user to do so.

    For those who were below E-tier, they would have to live with such conditions for their entire life, it was because they would have lost their ability to earn, and they could never get their hands onto such items.

    Coincidently, Qin Feng had such an item under his possession, it was the flesh from the Deca Turtle.

    For any ordinary person, it was an extremely expensive item.

    ¡°You do not need to be here to earn for yourself!¡± Qin Feng frowned. ¡°There are simr opportunities at Fengli!¡±

    Yang Qian let out a bitterugh and exined, ¡°I do know that, however, it would be too much for me to receive such a favor from all of you, I am now a nobody, and we no longer share the same status anymore, it would be impossible for me to return such favor, also, I was told about something!¡±

    Qin Feng remained silent and Yang Qian continued, ¡°An aptitude user was found dead in an alley, and someone had profited a huge sum by picking up his spatial rune equipment, although Fengli is a good spot, however, without the presence of any highly ranked aptitude users, it is overly calm and peaceful, and I am more familiar with Cheng Bei!¡±

    Qin Feng was left speechless.

    ¡°How often do you think you will have such a lucky encounter?!¡±

    ¡°There is still hope, and this job pays well too.¡± Yang Qian answered.

    Yang Qian was able to earn better and she would rather not have a proper job that allowed her to remain presentable, as it would most probably be assigned to her by the others out of their sympathy toward her situation.

    Yang Qian was trying to preserve her own integrity.

    Qin Feng instantly felt moved by the harsh reality that had hit hard on the skinny girl.

    It seemed to have brought up his old memories.

    Qin Feng had always been a top performer in school, despite Yang Qian¡¯s shorings in her training and below average results, she had persisted in her effort and never gave up on herself.

    Qin Feng sank deep into his thoughts for a moment before he continued, ¡°Yang Qian, I might have been involved in the past attackunched by the dark organization!¡±

    ¡°How could that be?!¡± Yang Qian was puzzled as there were still unsolved questions that she had on the attack.

    After all, Yang Qian was just an ordinary person.

    ¡°During that time, the dark organization had reached out to Zhao Yuanyuan to n for the capture of the ability users to be their experiment subjects, and actually, I was already awakened with abilities during the first day of the awakening potion injection; hence, if I were to speak up, things might have end up differently.¡±

    ¡°If you had revealed yourself, you might also be in danger! You were right to make such a decision! Furthermore, it was just an assumption!¡± Yang Qian answered. ¡°Life in this world is filled with all sorts of unfavorable uncertainties!¡±

    However, Qin Feng knew that it had all happened before his rebirth, and Yang Qian was not the victim of the case.

    Despite having the ability to change the fate of the others, the unfortunate situation of the others did not bother Qin Feng enough to have him feel sorry for them.

    After Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, the most innocent and severely impacted would definitely be the me Lord, Cui Lian, however, the death of the A-tier aptitude user did not even bother Qin Feng at all.

    Aptitude users were constantly struggling and seizing opportunities to survive the end times.

    Qin Feng was agreeable with resource looting and fighting for opportunities.

    Perhaps, humans would often have a forgiving heart when it came to the weak and unfortunate ones.

    Furthermore, it was crucial for Qin Feng to maintain an uninterrupted mental state for his practice, he did not wish to have Yang Qian as an imperfect w that could jeopardize and affect his mental state. Regardless of the magnitude of it, it could still possibly pose as his weak point.

 Chapter 481 - Restoration of Amputated Limbs

    <h4>Chapter 481: Restoration of Amputated Limbs</h4>

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°Let¡¯s just assume that I am defying the uncertainty! I am supposed to be responsible inpensating for your loss! Yang Qian, my purpose of being here is to provide you medicine that will allow the restoration of your amputated limbs!¡±

    Yang Qian who was still feeling rxed earlier was immediately struck dumb.

    ¡°Qin, Qin Feng, are... you serious? Do you really mean it? Can I really have my leg restored? Yang Qian stuttered in disbelief and asked.

    Qin Feng assured her with a nod and continued, ¡°Or else, I would not be here to look for you!¡±

    Qin Feng had nned to take the matter into his own hands; however, he did not expect to meet Yang Qian in such a battered state.

    Of course, he was grateful that he was there, or else, Yang Qian could have died on that day itself!

    ¡°Qin Feng, I, I do not know how I should thank you, I, I might not be able to afford this!¡±

    Yang Qian was instantly stunned by the surprise, she was overwhelmed!

    Qin Feng did not expect any requite from Yang Qian, neither did he need it.

    He would even feel bad if Yang Qian were to insist on paying him back!

    However, Qin Feng clearly knew that Yang Qian needed to move on from her current state.

    ¡°With such an item, you will have better physical attributes for your ancient warrior practice, and if you were to be an aptitude user, you could easily afford this!¡±

    It was Qin Feng who had caused Yang Qian to suffer the loss of one of her legs.

    Under Qin Feng¡¯s interference, Yang Qian would have the opportunity to advance from being an ordinary human to an aptitude user, and it would mean a world of difference for her.

    It was up to her whether to perceive it as a loss or a great sess!

    ¡°Qin Feng, from now on, I, Yang Qian, will serve you with all my life!¡± Yang Qian gritted her teeth and promised.

    Although Qin Feng was not anticipating it, however, moving forward, he would certainly have a new add on to the list of his loyal followers.

    Qin Feng requested that Yang Qian get herself ready and wait for him at the Fengli colony.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng and Bai Li continued their journey toward Chengyang City.

    Qin Feng¡¯s main purpose was to meet with Bo Tianyang, the mayor of Chengyang City.

    As Qin Feng was nning for the transfer of Fengli colony, he had to coordinate the mayor position handover, and Bo Tianyang had already expressed his agreement during their previous call. In fact, Chengyang City had been overshadowed by Qin Feng¡¯s talent to drive the rise of Fengli at such a high speed.

    Hence, Bo Tianyang was in favor of Qin Feng¡¯s request and his tactful way of handling the situation.

    He did not care about the ownership of the resources from Fengli colony.

    The Fengli colony was initially located at a non-strategic location, and if it were not because of Qin Feng, the colony would just be another ce that was simr to the size of Han Town. Hence, it would be favorable for the management level to limit resources allocated to the colony.

    Instead, the size of the previous Fengli colony had already expanded way beyond the perimeters of a small-sized colony!

    Qin Feng and Bai Li walked into the management building of Chengyang City.

    Everyone gave them their undivided attention.

    Qin Feng approached the front reception and asked, ¡°May I know where the mayor¡¯s office is?¡±

    ¡°Ah! It... it is on the thirtieth floor, mister, please hold on, let me show you the way up!¡± The receptionist was struck dumb by Qin Feng¡¯s presence and had even forgotten to check on the appointment schedule.

    Or perhaps, it was not even required.

    It was because Qin Feng was much more powerful than the mayor.

    The badge on his chest had showcased his ranking that was even higher than the mayor.

    Along the way, Qin Feng¡¯s presence had even shocked some of the aptitude users to the point where items were falling off from their hands, they were walking into walls, and many more bizarre scenes were uring!

    After all, they were all struck dumb by the situation!

    Even the D-tier badge worn by Bai Li had topped the highest ranking within the Chengyang City, powerful figures were rare in the Three Cities along the Sun, the mayor was the only D-tier, and the city could hardly afford to have more of them.

    Hence, how could the crowd not be shocked by the presence of Qin Feng and Bai Li?

    The elevator rose up to the thirtieth floor, and as soon as the door was opened, Bo Tianyang was smiling in a restless manner while beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

    ¡°Mister Qin, you are here, wee, wee!¡± Bo Tianyang weed him repeatedly.

    ¡°Mayor, no formalities, please!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    Bo Tianyang bitterly smiled as he also wished not to have such formalities, if possible, he even wished to ignore Qin Feng¡¯s call earlier.

    How impactful could this young talent be? From thereon, they could just be on their own and not cross paths again, hence, Bo Tianyang did not really care about it.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s unexpected reappearance as a C-tier had shocked everyone.

    ¡°My pleasure, I was being told earlier that, Mister Qin, you have a slightly different badge now!¡± Bo Tianyang prompted Qin Feng to further borate.

    Unless a D-tier aptitude user was directly assigned under a C-tier, or else, it would be rare for them to find out news about those that were ranked C-tier and above.

    The Three Cities along the Sun was too confined within its own to receive news from the Four Cities of the North Sea!

    ¡°Hmm, I am assigned as the governor of the Four Cities of the North Sea, which is why I am here to let go of the position of the mayor of Fengli colony!¡±

    After all, both of them were at different locations and Qin Feng did not want to take up multiple positions at once.

    ¡°Mayor of the Four Cities of the North Sea!¡± Bo Tianyang opened his eyes wide and instantly noticed that he had overreacted, he immediately calmed himself down.

    Both of them continued with the conversation while walking, soon, they had entered into the meeting room, and Qin Feng was nning to leave as soon as the documents were signed.

    ¡°Governor Qin, what are your ns for the Fengli colony, do you have any favorable candidates in mind to take over?¡± Initially, Bo Tianyang was nning to take over the underground ck market, although he might not run it as well as Qin Feng did, however, he could just entrust someone there to mimic the previous practice and reap a significant amount of profit from it.

    However, his intentions were diminished as soon as he met with Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng had several people that came across his mind, he then made a decision. ¡°Let¡¯s have General Han Jian, the captain of the Chengbei colony garrison troop, take up the position!¡±

    ¡°Alright, it will be him then!¡±

    Bo Tianyang did not hesitate and immediately agreed to assign Han Jian with the position, and Han Jian would definitely be dumbstruck by the sudden decision.

    Qin Feng exited from the management tower, he did not use his hover car, instead, he activated his Sky Dweller and returned to Fengli.

    Three dayster!

    At an undergroundboratory within the Fengli colony.

    Bai Yi was formting potions while Yang Qian was already anesthetized on the operating station.

    Being an ordinary human, Yang Qian was facing a totally different situation as Lei Ying, as he was a powerful figure that could control energy within his body to fuel the energy required by the restoration of his limbs.

    A bite on the flesh of the Deca Turtle could easily rip apart the entire body of an F-tier aptitude user, what would happen to the body of an ordinary person?

    However, Qin Feng and Bai Yi had channeled the energy toward restoring the limbs of the body, hence, it was a smooth and safe surgery.

    ¡°Chairman, you are really being very generous with the blood of the Deca Turtle, it is indeed a rare and beneficial ingredient!¡± Bai Yi was only involved in the research work and did not have any idea of Qin Feng¡¯s financial background at all, or perhaps, nobody within the Fengli Organization had ess to such information.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it, how is the experiment going? What is the rate of sess for the experiment of Lin Wuyi¡¯s advancement? Qin Feng asked.

    The previous ambush toward the Sand Eagle n, and also the Z Organizationboratory that was spearheaded by Yan Shuo had provided Qin Feng¡¯s research work with a huge amount of information that drove their research to a greater height.

 Chapter 482 - Prodigy Tournament

    <h4>Chapter 482: Prodigy Tournament</h4>

    Qin Feng had an abundant of D-tier beast king cores, and he also had plenty of beast emperor cores, however, there was a limit to the amount of energy that a human body could withstand, hence, Lin Wuyi was unable to achieve the strong physical attributes required to host the beast emperor core.

    Therefore, Qin Feng had picked a beast king core for Lin Wuyi¡¯s transformation, despite knowing the risk that was associated with it, Lin Wuyi had agreed to it!

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, brother, there is still about sixty percent of sess rate, which is already very high!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, if any threat arises, we would rather stop the surgery!¡±

    ¡°Understood!¡±

    After the conversation with Bai Yi, another thing came into Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    Qin Feng took out his consciousness connector and entered into the Consciousness Realm.

    ¡°Information retrieval, Z Organization!¡±

    With the authority of a governor, Qin Feng was allowed to ess all sorts of information that he did not have a chance to ess before his rebirth.

    Before his rebirth, he was just hired as a soldier that did not hold any managerial position in the Huaxia area of the Human Alliance.

    Soon, the information was presented to him, and there were just a few pages of them.

    Qin Feng immediately frowned.

    How could this be?!

    Qin Feng knew that the information that he had reported was a lot more than this.

    He immediately moved on to search for other information.

    ¡°Yan Fang!¡±

    Yan Fang was the younger brother of Yan Shuo, who was also the experiment subject of a D-tier beast emperor experiment. As Qin Feng was the one who had captured Yang Fang, he should be able to lead him to other clues. However, Gao Yukang had taken Yan Shuo away and handed him over to the department that had been focusing on investigations rted to the Dark Coalition, and there were no new findings from the long period of investigation.

    Soon, Qin Feng¡¯s next findings caught him by surprise!

    Surprisingly, Yan Fang was already dead.

    The findings showed that it was three days after the position handover to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was not informed about it, and Gao Yukang did not pay attention to it as well, hence, the case had remained undiscovered!

    ¡°Alright, seems like the Z Organization had already infiltrated into the Human Alliance!¡±

    Qin Feng knew, right from the beginning of his investigation, that those scientists that had boldly imed that the Z Organization was not part of the Dark Coalition were most probably influenced by some sort of powerful aptitude user that had spearheaded the entire plot.

    And once again, the clue was disconnected!

    However, whether it was the Z Organization tattoo, or the potion that had mass produced mutant experiment subjects, every clue was still traceable, and Qin Feng had already gathered a significant number of findings to further his investigation.

    ¡°I will eventually find out everyone that is behind this!¡±

    Qin Feng exited from the Consciousness Realm.

    Time passed by, soon, both Yang Qian and Lin Wuyi¡¯s surgeries werepleted.

    Yang Qian experienced a massive change within her body, to an ordinary human, it was like being suddenly gifted with a rare treasure, which was the ability to fulfill the requirement to practice the ancient warrior disposition.

    Meanwhile, Lin Wuyi had seeded in advancing to D-tier and it had brought new hope to Gao Li and the others.

    Qin Feng had to excuse himself from the post-recovery training as he still had other things to handle.

    ***

    At the top of the Zimu Mountains.

    Qin Feng entered into an underground dark garden.

    The garden was cultivating countless amounts of dark spirit herbs, fruits, and flowers, all of them were not hidden because they were rare and precious treasures.

    Not only that, they were all deadly and poisonous.

    However, the highest rank among them was only D-tier, and none of them would contribute any significant effect onto Qin Feng that was growing rapidly.

    ¡°I have built the dark garden and shrouded it with energy isting barriers to contain the dark breath from spreading, or else, it might be harmful to the others, if I were to leave it, this ce would definitely grow as a potential threat!¡±

    ¡°After all, these dark rune spirit herbs might not be necessary for the others, they might be wary of them, or perhaps those that have bad intentions might use them for their wrongdoings and create chaos!¡±

    ¡°However, it is too troublesome to transfer all of these!¡±

    Qin Feng walked among the dark garden and sensed the countless amount of dark breath shrouding around him, the spinning of the Mutant had also be faster.

    ¡°If that is the case, then I¡¯ll just absorb all of them!¡±

    Whether or not the spirit herbs and fruits were ripe enough or whether the flowers had fully bloomed, they were all embedded with dark elements, and Qin Feng had decided to absorb all of them!

    Qin Feng went ahead with his decision and arrived at the first floor of the garden; his ability exploded.

    Qin Feng¡¯s current capability could only be described as horrifying, as soon as his absorption ability exploded, it was impossible for the lower rank spirit herbs to withstand such magnitude of absorption.

    Within the blink of an eye, the healthy-looking nts were instantly drained and withered, there was no water or spirit aura left.

    A tiny spirit herb could only contain tens of runes within it, and whenpared to the size of Qin Feng¡¯s Diamond Starglobe, they were even finer than dust.

    However, with the massive scale of the garden, it would still be possible to umte them to a significant amount!

    Also, Qin Feng¡¯s capability had drawn in dark elements from the soil and they were all gushing toward him.

    The soil that was rich in dark elements had now turned into ordinary soil, even losing all of its minerals.

    If anyone were to enter the ce, they would not be convinced that they were in a garden!

    Qin Feng continued to go through everyyer of the garden and absorbed every dark rune that was avable.

    All of a sudden, a ck flower appeared on Qin Feng¡¯s Diamond Starglobe.

    It was simr to the situation when Qin Feng first obtained the emperor core of the Blue me Peacock Emperor!

    Surprisingly, Qin Feng had obtained a new inheritance!

    Qin Feng raised his hand and a ck lotus-shaped flower appeared on his hand; it was embedded with a massive amount of horrifying energy.

    He clearly knew that if he were to lose control over the lotus, the entire Fengli colony could possibly be turned into a city of death.

    The wild and violent energy was indeed threatening and horrifying!

    Qin Feng immediately imposed his conscious energy control onto the Diamond Starglobe, bit by bit, the lotus was being recalled back into his conscious energy space.

    ¡°Phew!¡± Qin Feng felt an instant relief.

    ¡°Such a powerful flower, let¡¯s just name it as the Doomed Flower!¡±

    Qin Feng had named his newly acquired skill!

    Only then, Qin Feng exited from the dark garden. He had aplished the final task on his list so he was no longer bothered by it as he went ahead to make thest announcement.

    ¡°Inform the people on the uing collective migration that will take ce three dayster, changes will ur within the management level, and those who are willing to follow us to the new Fengli City will be awarded with double special treatments!¡±

    The news was instantly spread across the Fengli colony and was twisted into varied contexts.

    Despite the varied news that had shifted everyone¡¯s focus from the official announcement, however, everyone was certain that the mayor of their colony had sessfully advanced as a C-tier boss.

    The rank of C-tier was much higher and more powerful than the mayor of Chengyang City.

    A city built by such a powerful figure would most probably be guaranteed with a secured, peaceful and well-fortified environment.

    Therefore, most of the people would rather forfeit the safe environment of Fengli colony and leave together with Qin Feng, surprisingly, eighty percent of all of the people decided to leave.

    It was an unexpected oue for Qin Feng; however, it was also a showcase of trust from the people toward him!

    Then, Han Jian came forward with his own people for the mission handover.

    Although Qin Feng had led eighty percent of the people to leave Fengli, however, Han Jian was still very grateful to Qin Feng for the well-structured environment that he had left behind. Han Jian could just begin with his work and not worry about the groundwork.

    However, Qin Feng was surprised by another person that hade along with Han Jian.

    Surprisingly, it was Deng Nian, the principal of the university!

    ¡°Can I help you with anything Principal Deng? Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°I do have something to tell you, Governor Qin, have you heard about the Prodigy Tournament?!¡±

 Chapter 483 - A C-tier Wanted To Participate

    <h4>Chapter 483: A C-tier Wanted To Participate</h4>

    Prodigy Tournament?

    Qin Feng was a little surprised when he heard this. He did hear of the ¡°Prodigy Tournament¡± before he was reborn¡ªa time when he was an A-tier aptitude user. He had even gone and watched the tournaments as a spectator.

    These tournaments, to be honest, were actually a stage for the huge groups and organizations to scout out and recruit talents.

    Nheless, the ones who would be epted first into these tournaments and ranked quite highly were still the young warriors who came from rich, powerful families. However, to the others who were not from these renowned ancient warrior families, this was a great opportunity for the talented yet unknown youngsters to show off their abilities to the powerful families and organizations in hopes of getting employed by them.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard of it.¡± Qin Feng nodded.

    ¡°Governor Qin, may I suggest that we put Lu Meng on the list to participate in it?¡±

    Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this.

    ¡°What has this got anything to do with Lu Meng? Well, if she wants to participate, there¡¯s no reason to stop her.¡±

    Deng Nian¡¯s eyes widened as he responded, ¡°Well, Lu Meng and her family decided to follow you to Fengli City. I thought you would know about this.¡±

    Deng Nian was quite amazed by this¡ªLu Meng¡¯s father was the richest man in the Chengbei colony. And yet, he decided to follow Qin Feng. And on top of that, Qin Feng did not seem to be fazed by this information.

    ¡°I honestly did not know this. However, if this is what you want, I¡¯ll talk to Lu Meng right away!¡±

    After saying so, Qin Feng flipped out hismunicator and establishedmunication with Lu Meng.

    ¡°Lu Meng, Director Deng is looking for you.¡±

    It was true that Qin Feng did not know about all this. And frankly speaking, Lu Meng was not his underling now. The only other thing that connected him and her was their rtionship in the university, and even then Lu Meng was his senior!

    ¡°Ah, Director Deng is looking for me? Alright, hold on... I¡¯ll be there right away!¡± Lu Meng hung up after saying so.

    Ten minutester, Lu Meng had arrived. And she was not alone¡ªZhou Hao was with her.

    They were wearing their E-tier badges on their chest.

    Qin Feng knew Zhou Hao had ascended to E-tier. However, he was quite surprised to learn that even Lu Meng had ascended to E-tier too!

    As Deng Nian was discussing the matter with Lu Meng, Qin Feng pulled Zhou Hao to the side and asked, ¡°Since when did Lu Meng be an E-tier?¡±

    Sure, Lu Meng was quite gifted but she was also quitezy and loved to procrastinate. She was also na?ve and impulsive. If she did not put extra effort in training, it was quite impossible for her to have reached E-tier.

    Zhou Hao said, ¡°Hey, I did not y favourites. All I did was sell some good stuff to her. Her dad¡¯s money was almost dried up from the purchase!¡±

    ¡°Well, if she¡¯s going to be my little brother¡¯s wife, I wouldn¡¯t mind if you give her more.¡± Qin Feng teased.

    Zhou Hao anxiously replied, ¡°Hey, it¡¯s your ¡®big brother¡¯s wife¡¯!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at Zhou Hao in the eyes and asked, ¡°So, you¡¯re sure? Lu Meng is the one?¡±

    It was almost certain that Zhou Hao¡¯s future would be as bright as the sun if he were to follow Qin Feng in his path.

    Lu Meng was quite an adorable woman but she was not really that good looking. When Zhou Hao progressed further in his path, there would be more women that were much more beautiful than Lu Meng appearing in his life.

    Nheless, to Zhou Hao, Lu Meng was the one.

    ¡°Of course! When we arrive at Fengli City, Lu Meng and I are going to have a wedding! And yet now, this Director Deng wants Lu Meng to participate in some stupid tournament!¡±

    ¡°Ah, I see. But you know... this tournament isn¡¯t a bad one to participate in. Would you not consider participating in it with Lu Meng?¡±

    Qin Feng looked at Deng Nian. It seemed that poor Director Deng was trying his best to persuade the girl to participate in the tournament.

    ¡°Lu Meng, you¡¯ve been with the school for 2 years now. I¡¯ve also agreed to allow you to graduate early. Now this is the time for you to make our school shine! You must take part in this!¡±

    ¡°But Director... don¡¯t you have Gao Linghan?¡±

    ¡°Gao Linghan is going to be twenty years old by October!¡±

    ¡°E-tiers are just there to apany the main yers. Even if he isn¡¯t twenty years old, he would still not be able to participate in the trials!¡±

    ¡°Yes, and that¡¯s why you could!¡± Director Deng smiled as he looked at Lu Meng.

    Lu Meng frowned¡ªshe walked right into that one herself.

    ¡°Director,e on. I¡¯m about to get married!¡± Lu Meng pleaded.

    In this world, as soon as one¡¯s abilities were awakened when they were sixteen years old, they had practically reached the age of consent, allowing them to get married. In some colonies, the governments there even provided an allowance if their citizens could produce offspring¡ªthis was to prevent their citizens from killing off their own babies to avoid facing financial burdens.

    ¡°You should put priorities in your career. You¡¯re an E-tier now. It doesn¡¯t matter if you marry a littlete. Come on, you should think for the long-run!¡±

    Lu Meng rolled her eyes and said, ¡°If I participate in this tournament, I would need to engage in fierce mortalbat with the other participants. Even if we are able to get five spots for our colony, when we step into Chengyang City, we still need to fight those famous ancient warrior families there. And if I am able to proceed from that, I still need to take on the ones from Sea City and Fu City. And let¡¯s say I manage to fight them off, I still need to fight with the others from other states, then the trial is over. But that¡¯s where the real fight begins, in the north! I don¡¯t think I can survive even the first round, so why should I participate at all?¡±

    Lu Meng had a point.

    If you knew that there was no way to win this, why participate?

    Thus, the more she heard about this, the less interest she had in participating.

    However, Qin Feng suddenly remembered something.

    ¡®If I¡¯m not mistaken, the grand prize for this tournament is going to be a region for a strong warrior!¡¯

    And this region was one that could produce great treasures¡ªit could be some highly advanced technology, secret cultivation methods, or rune equipment. Besides, he did hear that there was some god-tier equipment buried deep in this unknown region.

    This unknown region could have been a resting ce for some deceased S-tier aptitude users in the past. As such, the temptation to acquire their legacies was quite huge for Qin Feng!

    Thus, Qin Feng opened his mouth, ¡°Director Deng, is there any limitation in the participants¡¯ power for this tournament?¡±

    Deng Nian was surprised when he heard this. ¡°What limitation?¡±

    Qin Feng beamed up with a smile. ¡°I mean, can a C-tier participate?¡±

    Everyone looked at Qin Feng as their jaws dropped on the floor.

    Han Jian asked in surprise, ¡°Governor Qin, you¡¯re not intending to participate in this tournament, are you?¡±

    This man was a governor and a C-tier. And yet, he wanted to participate in the Prodigy Tournament?

    Was this man intending to bully the other contestants for fun? How could these people have any chance when facing Qin Feng?

    ¡°Yeah, is there any problem?¡±

    ¡°Well...¡±

    Indeed, the rules did not say that he could not participate.

    ¡°So long as you¡¯re below the age of twenty and an E-tier, you¡¯re allowed to participate... but...¡±

    Han Jian had never seen any participants with such power.

    If one were gifted enough, after his awakening, one could reach F-tier in half a year.

    However, it was quite difficult to go higher from there on.

    If one were to reach E-tier when he was seventeen years old, then he would be considered a Hero ss. And then, ascending from E-tier to D-tier in a year was quite impossible to do. It was considered extraordinary for one to advance from E-tier to D-tier in two years.

    Thus, even if one was neen years old and was a D-tier, he would still be considered a Hero ss. Yet, it was quite impossible for one to reach C-tier before twenty years old!

    Qin Feng was just seventeen years old. And he had already ascended to C-tier.

    This young man was not a Hero ss.

    Because whenpared to ultra beasts, The Hero ss was the equivalent of the King ss.

    Qin Feng was more than that¡ªhe was an Emperor ss.

    ¡°If there¡¯s no problem, then consider me in... well, it¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll do the applications when I get back to Fengli City!¡±

 Chapter 484 - Behold! The Floating City!

    <h4>Chapter 484: Behold! The Floating City!</h4>

    ¡°You... so, you were actually being serious!¡± Zhou Hao¡¯s jaw was rolling on the ground.

    He was a C-tier and yet he wanted to participate in this Prodigy Tournament? Even Zhou Hao had no interest in taking part in this.

    It would take months before one could go through all the trials.

    Even though Zhou Hao was just seventeen years old, he had already ascended to E-tier and acquired some authority. And not only that, Qin Feng trusted him and gave him a lot of tasks.

    He had no time to take part in this stupid tournament.

    Yet, he did not think that someone as important and as busy as Qin Feng would want to participate in this. Zhou Hao was totally surprised and had no idea how to respond to this.

    ¡°Yeah, the prize is good and we could use this to scout out some good people.¡±

    ¡®If I get to meet some strong talents that I recognize from the future, I could recruit them.¡¯ Qin Feng thought to himself.

    Lu Meng, after hearing what Qin Feng said, too had her interest piqued. ¡°Then maybe I should participate too after all. Zhou Hao, what about you? Let¡¯s take part in this together?¡±

    Seeing that even Qin Feng wanted to take part in the Prodigy Tournament, Zhou Hao began to think that perhaps this tournament was something important, thus he nodded. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s do it!¡±

    However, before Deng Nian was able to jump in joy, Lu Meng opened her mouth again, ¡°We¡¯ll register only after we reach Fengli City. We¡¯ll represent the city.¡±

    Deng Nian was so pissed that his beard almost stood up on its ends.

    He thought he had finally persuaded Lu Meng to take part in the tournament, and not only that she had also roped her fianc¨¦ in! And yet, they did not intend to register here!

    ¡°Gov... Governor Qin... could you...¡±

    Qin Feng shrugged. ¡°This is Lu Meng¡¯s decision. I can¡¯t change that.¡±

    Seeing that there was no way to salvage it, Deng Nian sighed, ¡°Oh well... our school has never had people participate in the Prodigy Tournament anyway. I shouldn¡¯t have thought about being a part of this in the first ce.¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°Come on, Principal. There¡¯s still a way. If you build a school or university at Fengli City, I believe you¡¯ll have some Heroes in your school right away! And then, you could send someone to represent your school!¡±

    Deng Nian raised his head and looked at Qin Feng. Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were beaming with a radiance of reassurance. He was not joking¡ªQin Feng was indeed asking him earnestly.

    Although Qin Feng and Deng Nian started off on the wrong foot due to their powers, as Qin Feng had gotten stronger, the less ufortable it was for him to meet Deng Nian.

    Meanwhile, Deng Nian was now a little afraid of Qin Feng.

    It felt as though he was facing his natural predator.

    This, however, did not affect Deng Nian¡¯s judgement. Qin Feng was now a powerful C-tier aptitude user, and he was now asking his school to join his city.

    At Chengbei Colony, both Zheng Yang and Deng Nian were E-tiers. This meant that whenever there was a need to coborate, due to the difference in authority, Deng Nian would always be at a disadvantage.

    However, Qin Feng was a C-tier. It was quite natural for anyone to bow down to someone more powerful than him. It was the norm in this world. And this was also the natural instinct of a species.

    ¡°Hahaha, I suppose... I still have some vigor in me to build one more school!¡± Deng Nianughed.

    ¡°Then, I wee you with open arms, Principal Deng!¡± Qin Feng smiled after hearing his answer.

    ***

    Three dayster, everyone began their migration after they were done with packing up.

    Everyone was both excited and anxious. After all, every time they migrate, despite the great benefits that awaited, they would need to face various kinds of dangers on the road.

    They were humans. And to the ultra beasts, their scents were like a dinner bell. After sensing this many prey, the ultra beasts would definitelye for a hunt!

    ¡°How many aptitude users are defending us? There are so many of us!¡±

    ¡°Indeed. But it¡¯s alright, Governor Qin is with us!¡±

    ¡°How long do we need to travel before we reach Fengli City?¡±

    Many were discussing as they gathered at the entrance of the Fengli colony. Yet, after a long wait, they did not see any vehiclesing their way.

    ¡°Is the train here yet?¡±

    ¡°Hey, it is very expensive to ride on a train! But I heard it¡¯s quite safe though!¡±

    ¡°Hold on, if we are going to ride on a train, we should be at the station outside of the colony!¡±

    ¡°So, you¡¯re implying that we¡¯re riding the hover copters? Be realistic. Look around you. There are at least 40,000 to 50,000 of us here!¡±

    As the man said so, he saw that his friend was looking behind him with his mouth wide open.

    Then, the sky suddenly turned dark, as though something enormous had covered it up.

    The man instinctively lifted his head and then he saw it. A huge, massive machine was already above him, hovering in the sky.

    The trains and hover copters were really small now whenpared to this thing.

    It was the Floating City!

    The major city descended from above the clouds; hence, no one saw iting. As the Floating City got closer and closer, the people below werepletely shocked.

    ¡°Wha... what the hell is that?!¡±

    ¡°Is this a machine made by us, the humans? I¡¯ve never heard of this thing ever!¡±

    As they were totally floored by the city¡¯s appearance, the Floating City had now descended so close to the ground that they could see the cannons. They were so close that they found it to be very difficult to breathe.

    If this were the weapons of their enemies, they would definitely have wet their pants.

    When the city was just about a hundred meters above, it stopped.

    If it were to descend further, it would have crushed the buildings at the entrance.

    Nheless, the Floating City was already covering almost half of the colony. In fact, if the Floating City wanted to cover the whole ce, it could do it with ease!

    Han Jian, who was handling the security, was also shocked when he saw the Floating City.

    Originally, he was quite pleased and proud after hearing that Qin Feng had rmended him to be the mayor of this colony. He was so proud that he was disying some snobbish behaviors around his fellow people in the colony.

    Yet, after seeing the Floating City, that sense of superiority had now vanished!

    ¡°This... this is so unreal!!¡±

    Even though he had ascended to E-tier, Han Jian did not have any ess to any intel about the Floating City.

    Suddenly, the Floating City let down its folding esctor down onto the colony. The esctor was so massive that it hadpletely covered the fourne road. Of course, this esctor was still quite small aspared to the entire Floating City. It felt as though the elevator was just a tiny hair from its body.

    ¡°Please line up and get on the elevator. No pushing!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s voice was sent far and wide via the speakers; everyone in the Fengli colony could hear his voice.

    After hearing his voice, the people down there started to move again. Adhering to Qin Feng¡¯s words, they stepped onto the elevator one by one. As they ascended higher and higher and reached the Floating City, they felt as though they had arrived to a whole new world¡ªa city that was floating in the sky, a world that they had never dreamed of ever.

    In just a dozen minutes, tens of thousands of people had all boarded!

    Then, the Floating City ascended to the skies after it had retracted its Folding Esctor. When it had finally ascended higher than the clouds, the Floating City then flew toward the Four Cities of the North Sea!

    The rest of the people who decided to stay behind at the Fengli colony watched as the Floating City flew into the horizon. They could not help but to feel a deep sense of regret in their hearts!

    If they knew this, they would have also chosen to go to Fengli City too!

    ¡°C-tiers... Are all C-tiers this powerful?¡± Han Jian thought to himself.

    As he stared at the Floating City flying away, his impression of Qin Feng had be something akin to a giant.

    The speed of the Floating City was quite fast. It only spent three days and two nights to zip across two states from the Fenglii colony to Fengli City.

    Meanwhile, at the Four Cities of North Sea, the Prodigy Tournament was being held. Unlike the ones being held at the Three Cities along the Sun, there were at least ten spots for the event. Of course aside from that, the renowned families would still have their own booked spots.

    Qin Feng had a lot of underlings today. And more importantly, those underlings were not recruited by him personally. It was those D-tier Fengli Mercenaries that recruited all these E-tiers.

    Not only that, the ones who had recently joined the Fengli Organization were tough yers like Jin Fei. And Qin Feng had assembled ten of them into a team.

    They had heard that Qin Feng was interested in participating in the Prodigy Tournament.

    Back in the days, these tournaments were held in Niumeng City. Now, Meng Lin suggested that they organize it at Fengli City.

    Qin Feng did not object to this, naturally.

    ***

    Mid September.

    The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Seven hover copters were carrying ten talented youngsters toward Fengli City from different directions.

    In the hover copter, a young man, aged around eighteen to neen years old, looked out to the surrounding areas snobbishly. ¡°Fengli City? Heh, it¡¯s just a town. Shadong Town. It was destroyed once and lost its value. What? Just because they have a new Governor they are a city now?¡±

    These people did not have a lot of regard for the governor. This was because this hover copter was carrying the Tiehs¡ªa renowned ancient warrior family.

    The leader of this family was a C-tier aptitude user.

    Gao Yukang was indeed powerful but even he was suppressed by these renowned families and not able to expand his influence.

    Hence, to these people, Qin Feng¡¯s expanding influence and poprity was like a taunt to their families.

    ¡°Tieh Chen, shut up!¡± the only D-tier Aptitude in the scene shouted, ¡°I will let this slide since we are still on the hover copter. You better behave when wend in Fengli Cityter, or else!¡±

    This was someone Qin Feng knew¡ªTieh Lei!

    Back at the Battlegod Tomb, he stopped him. Qin Feng yed Xue Jinkuang when he was still a D-tier. And now, in a rather short time, Qin Feng had ascended to C-tier. Hence, it was quite easy to imagine just how powerful Qin Feng was right now.

    Holding the Prodigy Tournament at Fengli City was in a way a friendly gesture from them to Qin Feng.

    Back then, when they held it at Niumeng City, the revenue that they got from selling the tickets would be split among the ancient warrior families. And it was not a fair share too¡ªthe more powerful and renowned a family was, the more dough they got.

    At the same time, these youngsters had been training even before their awakening. Some of them had acquired powerful physiques long before they experienced their awakening, enabling them to train neigong. Hence, after awakening, they had even more power than before.

    It was quite easy for them to ascend to E-tier before reaching twenty years old.

    Of course, it was still quite difficult for them to reach D-tier in a leap. It might require the whole family to pool in their resources to push just one of them to do that.

    And no family would do that. Not especially when their elders were still around.

    It was not worth it for them to do that just for a Hero ss.

    Originally, this season¡¯s Prodigy Tournament¡¯s biggest winner would have been the Xues¡ªspecifically Xue Yuan. Now that Xue Yuan was dead and the Xue family had gone to ruins, the other families now had some breathing room.

    Now, the most talented youngster was Tieh Chen from the Tieh family. Even though he was still neen years old, he had already reached E3-tier. Not only that, he was also considered a prodigy.

    Thus, the boy was getting a little snobbish and too prideful for his own good.

    ¡°Uncle Lei, why are you afraid of that Qin Feng? If you talk like this in front of other people, this would have disgraced our family!¡±

    ¡°Is your pride more important than your life? And don¡¯t mention that name like that!¡± Tieh Lei replied sternly.

    Tieh Chen zipped his mouth and sulked. This Uncle Tieh Lei was such a boring old fart!

    ¡°What a boring trip. This ce isn¡¯t anywhere near as great as Niumeng City. I might need to be careful during the fights so I don¡¯t identally breathe in sand!¡±

    Tieh Lei smirked to himself as he stared out the window. Then suddenly, his face froze!

    A huge wall had already been built around the city. And in between each thirty meters of the walls, there were crystal cannons installed on them. And behind these walls, there were several massive pieces of green, lush paddy fields.

    To add more, the towers were installed quite tightly together near the walls. These towers too had crystal cannons, always on the watch for any ultra beast.

    After a few miles of paddy fields, there was anotheryer of walls.

    This was quite usual to see in this world. The cities and towns were always on the works to renovate and expand their walls.

    However, this Fengli City had over a dozenyers of walls. This totally surprised everyone!

    Just how big was this Fengli City?

    They had flown across the walls for three whole minutes, and yet there were still paddy fields. And quite curiously, there was not a single ultra beast found across the massive desert.

    Then suddenly, a huge city leaped into view from the horizon.

    They were now inching closer to the main city entrance. And they saw it¡ªthe signboard that had on the words ¡°Fengli City¡±!

    The city gate was about fifty meters wide. There were also severalnding zones built at the city entrance too. And on each of the hover copternding pads had huge words printed on them¡ª¡±Made by Fengli¡±!

    Tieh Lei took in a deep breath.

    ¡°So, Fengli Organization has begun manufacturingbat hover copters now?¡±

    ¡°This... this is Fengli?¡± Tieh Chen could not help but feel that he was pping his own face a moment ago.

    Eat sand? This whole ce was basically a huge oasis in the middle of the desert!

    The agents that were assigned took them to check in at the hotels, showing warm hospitality along the way. And that night, in order to prevent other participants from sabotaging them, no one stepped out of the hotel at all. Yet, they were able to witness just how developed the city was just by looking out of the windows.

    Then, when daybreak came, Fengli City sent Han Nuan to wee their arrival.

    ¡°Prodigies from Niumeng, I wee you! I¡¯ll now bring you to the arena. Thebatants from Fengli have been eagerly awaiting you!¡± Han Nuan smirked.

    The others did not pay much attention to her smirk and boarded the vehicles, going straight to the arena.

    It was Qin Feng that designed this arena. He used the knowledge he had from before he was reborn to design the arena to make the arena as huge and majestic as he could. If he were going to construct arge arena, he might as well construct the biggest Colosseum in the world.

    He had even constructed several smithies inside the arena, giving it ease to expand further in the future. Thus, naturally, the prodigies were totally floored when they saw the arena.

    However, they were able to pull back their attention and focus on the tournament quickly.

    ¡°Combatants, please draw a ballot here to determine who would be your opponents. There would be three rounds. The ones who lose would be eliminated from the tournament immediately!¡±

    The arena required thebatants to draw the ballots themselves so that there was no fraud in the selection of their opponents.

    And Tieh Chen had drawn Number 1!

    ¡°Heh, what if I¡¯m the first one to fight? I don¡¯t think there is anyone that can handle me.¡± Tieh Chen smirked.

    It was then, the gigantic screen in the arena showed:

    ¡°Round 1. Tieh Chen VS Qin Feng¡±

 Chapter 486 - Sent Flying In Just One Strike

    <h4>Chapter 486: Sent Flying In Just One Strike</h4>

    Tieh Chen looked around him and realized that he did not know who this person was.

    After all, he was forced to participate in the trial of the Prodigy Tournament. And Fengli City had no colonies¡ªso there was no need to fight among themselves because there were no different factions inside the city. Every single participant was personally selected by the city. Hence, the other families did not have intel about their opponents at all.

    Tieh Chen stepped into the ring as the energy shield covered up the ring, isting the noises and energies from outside.

    This was necessary to avoid meta-ying the ring. If an experienced warrior were to be allowed to instruct the participants and hint them about the enemies¡¯ weaknesses, it would not be a petition¡± anymore.

    Still, as the people from other families and the leaders of the four cities saw the name on the screen, they could not help but feel that something was off.

    ¡°Qin Feng? No way. Could it be a young man with the same name as him?¡±

    ¡°It must be a coincidence. The governor wouldn¡¯t participate in a small game like this!¡±

    ¡°But, the governor¡¯s age is quite young too... right?!¡±

    Everyone looked at one another in surprise.

    Meanwhile, the host of the arena started to introduce the information of the twobatants.

    ¡°First, let us look at thebatant here. Tieh Chen! Neen years old and an E3-tier. His specialties are Arctic Kick, Gale Palm and Plum Sword Technique. Tieh Chen is considered to be the most talented participant in this season of the Prodigy Tournament. He¡¯s the best of the best in the Four Cities of the North Sea!¡±

    Great praises for Tieh Chen sounded over and over again via the speaker.

    Then, another silhouette appeared. It was a young man, around the height of 190cm, well-built but a little thinner than Tieh Chen.

    He had a whitebat suit on, with two golden words printed on his back¡ª¡±Fengli¡±.

    Everyone who participated in this trial all wore this uniform. As such, there was nothing unusual about the young man when he appeared in the scene.

    The host opened his mouth again.

    ¡°Alright, now on to the otherbatant. Qin Feng! Seventeen years old and had only just awakened his aptitude a year ago. As for his true strength... let us not spoil it for now.¡±

    The host was an experienced MC in tournaments like this. Thus, he knew how to spice things up at the right time. And of course, he knew this ¡°Qin Feng¡± was the mayor of Fengli City.

    Yet, when he saw the data, he was quite speechless too.

    It was written that Qin Feng was a C-tier. Yet, it was quite difficult for him to mention this.

    Not only that, Qin Feng had already organized a bet for this fight. The odds for Qin Feng were not really high nor low, but if you bet on him you would definitely win back your money. Yet, the ones who did not know who Qin Feng was would definitely put their bet on Tieh Chen.

    This was like trying to scam these people, right?

    The ones who knew Qin Feng were all from the Fengli colony. Some of them were also locals of Shadong Town. Yet, there was still arge number of the audience who did not know who Qin Feng was¡ªmost of them were mercenaries and citizens from other cities. They knew who Tieh Chen was but not Qin Feng.

    Thus, the bet on each of thebatants were tied at a high number.

    ¡°Tieh Chen is going to win this!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Tieh Chen is a Prodigy that was specifically trained for this. He is already an E3-tier when he¡¯s this young. I don¡¯t know who that Qin Feng is but since the host isn¡¯t mentioning his strength at all... it must be because he¡¯s too weak, I think!¡±

    ¡°Fengli City is a newly built city. They don¡¯t have a prodigy!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, but you should at least have an E-tier strength. If not, you aren¡¯t allowed to participate. This seventeen-year-old is quite talented too!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, this Qin Feng might win this. But his odds aren¡¯t really good. There¡¯s no need to bet on him!¡±

    As the audience debated on the matter, the ones who knew who Qin Feng was quietly put their bets on him.

    The host opened his mouth again. ¡°Now, let¡¯s put our hands together for our judge today. Mr Chen Xiang, a D3 aptitude user!¡±

    In an instant, apuse echoed in the arena.

    D3 aptitude users were quite powerful.

    ¡°Then, here is Yang Mao, an elder from the renowned Yang family! A D1 ancient warrior!¡±

    After introducing the two judges, the host said, ¡°Now, let the fight begin! Let us see who will win this fight!¡±

    As Qin Feng stepped into the ring, Tieh Chen looked at him snobbishly.

    He frowned. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you wearing your badge?¡±

    Qin Feng took a cold look at Tieh Chen. ¡°Nah, I¡¯m afraid my badge might scare you!¡±

    Qin Feng was right though. His badge was C-tier after all!

    However, his words were like a taunt in Tieh Chen¡¯s ears!

    ¡°Hahahaha! You¡¯re an arrogant little brat, aren¡¯t you? What? You¡¯re stronger than me? I¡¯ve never even heard of your name before!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°After today, you will. And you will tell others about me too!¡±

    Tieh Chen rolled his eyes, ¡°No need. I don¡¯t need to know the name of a loser. It will be an insult to my ears!¡±

    It was quite obvious that Tieh Chen was looking down on Qin Feng. Meanwhile, Tieh Lei was about to lose it when watching this!

    ¡®Do you not know who this man is?! How dare you show him this much arrogance?! He could murder the sh*t out of you by just lifting a finger!!¡¯

    Luckily, Qin Feng did not intend to kill the boy.

    Meanwhile, the speakers started to sound the countdown.

    ¡°Counting down... 10, 9, 8...¡±

    ¡°3, 2, 1! Fight!¡±

    ¡°Eat this! Tyrant Squall Palm!¡±

    Tieh Chen was quite prideful and snobbish. He did not intend to waste too much time on a ¡°small fry¡± like Qin Feng. To him, his real opponents should be the Hous and Yangs. Only the true strong warriors qualified to fight him.

    Thus, he intended to kill Qin Feng off in one strike. He did not want to waste too much internal energy on him¡ªwhich led to him using a really powerful technique in the first instant he got.

    He did not even use his weapon on Qin Feng!

    As internal energy formed a powerful gust of wind, rushing straight at Qin Feng, thetter raised his head calmly and raised a finger.

    In an instant, a small ray of potent energy obliterated the Tyrant Squall Palm¡¯s energy in a straight line!

    It seemed like the potent energy had prated the Tyrant Squall Palm¡¯s attack andnded onto Tieh Chen¡¯s shoulder.

    Tieh Chen felt a really terrifying internal energy instantly sting him off his feet! He was lifted off the ground by at least twenty meters!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng did not even move an inch from where he stood.

 Chapter 487 - Itâ€™s In The Details

    <h4>Chapter 487: It¡¯s In The Details</h4>

    Those not in the know kicked up an uproar.

    ¡°What, what happened? That was too fast!¡± The host quickly said. In fact, he knew what was going on but he had invited over two D-tier aptitude users to be judges, so naturally he wanted them to have some of the spotlight.

    ¡°A w. The opponent found a w in the Tyrant Squall Palm and defeated him in one move!¡± Yang Mao immediately followed up with an answer. ¡°Of course, such ws are difficult to find in life and death situations, the contestant Qin Feng seems to be very strong!¡±

    Yang Mao was going to go on but there were things that he did not want to bring up..

    Was this a situation where one was very strong? Or perhaps too strong?

    The others watched with bright eyes and a myriad of expressions. A C-tier facing an E-tier, that was too overpowering.

    Meanwhile, there were quite a number of people who knew about Qin Feng in the audience, ¡°To be honest, fighting the governor has its benefits. At least the weaknesses in your technique could be highlighted and avoided in the future!¡±

    ¡°Yes! It¡¯s a great opportunity for ancient warriors!¡±

    ¡°That kid¡¯s so lucky to get directed by the governor!¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡±

    Everyone did not sympathize with Tieh Chen, but instead was admiring him.

    On the other hand, the still en-site Tieh Chen felt like he was going to pop a blood vessel.

    ¡°A coincidence! This has to be a coincidence, we¡¯ll go again!¡±

    Tieh Chen picked himself up, gathered his internal force again and rushed toward Qin Feng, unleashing all kinds of powerful moves. Qin Feng did not hesitate, breaking through everything that was thrown at him with one move. What was more, E-tier aptitude users did not have internal force shields, he was basically taken down with one hit over and over again. After getting knocked down four to five times, he could not stand back up anymore.

    For the others, it seemed like a kind of lesson, but for Tieh Chen, it was like his neen years of reputation as a genius was shattered.

    If he could not get up, then he would keep falling down. If he did get up, he would rocket through the sky.

    It was a pity that Qin Feng indeed had not heard about any powerful individuals from the Tieh family before his rebirth. Or maybe, because of Xue Yuan, all of these astounding people were killed!

    As such, he did not have any pressure when dealing with Tieh Chen, of course he had to restrain himself and control his strength appropriately or else he might fatally injure Tieh Chen with a jab.

    The battle ended quickly, Tieh Chen did not even have enough strength left in him to get back up as hey on the ground for ten seconds. When the timer quickly counted down, the match was over!

    Although Qin Feng defeated Tieh Chen with only a few moves, it still made the unknown audience burst out with cheer. Of course, there were some who called Tieh Chen garbage, those were the ones that bet on him!

    When the energy dome cracked open, Tieh Lei immediately rushed into the arena to check on Tieh Chen¡¯s situation.

    Although there were no internal injuries, Tieh Chen had a bloodied nose and his cheeks were swollen. This kind of an embarrassment was a blow to the Tieh family¡¯s name.

    While deep down he was afraid of Qin Feng, Tieh Lei still confronted him, ¡°Governor, don¡¯t you think what you¡¯re doing is uneptable? How is it fair to everyone else if you¡¯re participating? This is against the rules!¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Qin Feng was about to leave, but he turned to look at Tieh Lei and suddenly asked, ¡°Am I under twenty years old?¡±

    ¡°...Yes!¡± Tieh Lei helplessly admitted.

    Not only under twenty, he was only seventeen. He only awakened a year ago.

    What kind of monster was this?!

    ¡°Am I above E-tier?¡±

    ¡°You... are!¡±

    Tieh Lei had no choice but to admit it.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°Since I¡¯ve met the requirements of the tournament, naturally it means that I can participate. Is there anything wrong with that?¡±

    ¡°Well, you can get a ce directly. You don¡¯t need topete with other people!¡± Tieh Lei said, especially when he had let Tieh Chen participate because Tieh Chen wanted to go to see the Dragon Capital, but ended up being taken out in the first round.

    This was too much for the Tieh family¡¯s reputation!

    ¡°It¡¯s neither unfair nor against the rules. I¡¯m also a member of the Four Cities, I¡¯m not going to use my position for personal gain!¡± Qin Feng took Tieh Lei¡¯s own words and threw it back at him.

    Tieh Lei was speechless.

    As Qin Feng walked away, Tieh Lei could only help the helpless Tieh Chen off the ring.

    When passing by thepetitor¡¯s seats, everyone was fervently discussing that match.

    ¡°Sir, who is that Qin Feng guy?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, how could he beat Tieh Chen!¡±

    They were looking at their senior expectantly and Tieh Lei looked back at them with mixed feelings, listening attentively as he thought about the puffed up, arrogant things he said back then and ended uping back with a defeated warrior.

    Heughed bitterly, grimacing as he said, ¡°In the next two rounds, if you meet that guy, just forfeit the match!¡±

    ¡°Why? Just because Tieh Chen was defeated doesn¡¯t mean he¡¯ll defeat everyone else, right? Ability users have their protective shields when they¡¯re E-tier!¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡±

    The senior shook his head. ¡°Even with a shield, you won¡¯t hold against him. Do you know who he is? That person is the new governor!¡±

    The people in front of him fell silent, they thought they were hearing things.

    ¡°Governor? Wouldn¡¯t that mean he¡¯s... C-tier?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s seventeen years old! How is... how is that even possible?!¡±

    ¡°Wait, if he¡¯s actually governor then, oh man I think I¡¯ve just wasted my time!¡±

    ¡°Pfft!¡± Tieh Chen could still hear this on the sidelines, and he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

    He was not terribly injured, but he was so enraged that he ended up coughing up blood.

    The tournament continued on. There were forty matches on the first day that took the whole day to finish.

    Of course, for a normal person it might have been exciting but Qin Feng felt that this whole thing was absolutely boring.

    On the second and third day, he did not even fight. Those who were randomly selected to fight him actually had the intention of going up and asking him for pointers.

    Unfortunately, he did not participate at all.

    But this kind of non-participation made his opponents not want to step into the ring and choose to forfeit the match in fear of offending a C-tier.

    Nobody would want that to happen!

    It was not surprising that Qin Feng was ced in the top ten.

    Zhou Hao and Jin Fei were dark horses, directly representing the Four Cities in their battles and along with Qin Feng, the Fengli colony had selected three people.

    And from the Four Cities, the three big ancient warrior families only had one person who was selected.

    Among those families, every one of them had solemn faces.

    ¡°This Qin Feng. He¡¯s doing it on purpose. In the past, our families said that it was possible to gain eight ces but now we only have three!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s in the details, he¡¯s checking and bncing power!¡±

    ¡°Is he really not afraid of the family head?¡±

    ¡°No...I don¡¯t think that even phases him!¡±

    In the end, they could only sigh and deliver the news to the family heads who were away.

    After waiting for a few days, the news that they received made them feel helpless.

    The Four Cities on the North Sea hadpletely changed since Qin Feng¡¯s appearance.

 Chapter 488 - Onward to Beihua City

    <h4>Chapter 488: Onward to Beihua City</h4>

    However, after seeing the awards that Qin Feng handed out to the ten participants, people kept their thoughts about him to themselves.

    Well, he handed it out to nine people since he naturally did not need these things.

    The rewards he gave were very direct, with 5 billion per person and opening up the Fengli colony internal trade system. They could buy ultra beast energy cores with this money.

    5 billion was enough money to buy an E-tier beast king energy core.

    Such a reward was too extravagant for these ancient warrior family people.

    And for the prodigies that came from the Four Cities on the North Sea, it felt like a golden opportunity.

    They could not believe that something this good could happen to them.

    Some people went ahead and bought beast king energy cores and some traded to enter the Battlegod Tomb and learn its martial techniques, such as the Third Level of the Overcast Dragon technique and so on.

    Although Qin Feng¡¯s methods were stubborn and even wrathful, it could be said that he was too wealthy!

    ¡°We¡¯re so lucky to have this kind of governor!¡±

    ¡°Haha, I remember they only gave each person a rare E-tier spirit herb! We also got some money to trade for some techniques but the highest point of training would only take us to D-tier!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no way this can bepared to that!¡±

    In fact, it was quite normal. In the yesteryears, the ancient warrior families were the majority but when it came to Gao Yukang handing out awards, it would be a strange moment if he were to start being generous. He also rarely cared about these things. Usually it was up to the ancient warrior families to arrange these events.

    Now, Qin Feng was arranging the event. One C-tier was apletely different thingpared to four D-tiers.

    After this incident, there were even geniuses from the Four Cities that came to seek refuge in Fengli City. Qin Feng¡¯s generosity had attracted quite a number of talents.

    ***

    In the Battlegod Tomb, Qin Feng was training Zhou Hao and Jin Fei.

    ¡°An E-tier does not have enough power, you need to improve yourself as soon as possible!¡±

    An E-tier could only function as support, even in the next Northern Region Competition they could suffer a loss and Qin Feng did not want that to happen.

    ¡°The Northern Region Competition is only a month away. If I give everything I¡¯ve got during practice I can reach E3-tier!¡± Zhou Hao stated.

    Jin Fei did not say much other than, ¡°I can reach E5-tier!¡±

    The fact that these two could take on others was not due to their strength, it was because the true obstacle in their way was Qin Feng. They were naturally not satisfied with their rate of growth and as a result theirbat effectiveness was not strong.

    It was not good to spoil things with excessive enthusiasm.

    Jin Fei and Zhou Hao were physically powerful and their bodies were durable. What Qin Feng felt was not enough, were these two¡¯s tiers.

    ¡°You need to reach at least D-tier!¡± Qin Feng said.

    The other two both furrowed their brows.

    ¡°Even if I let Xiao Huang eat D-tier energy cores, I still wouldn¡¯t reach D-tier. That¡¯s just way too much!¡±

    Reaching from E2-tier to D-tier within a single month sounded like a terrifying idea.

    The dantian had limited capacity and it was not easy to umte it. What was more, D-tier was a big thing, the transformation of an ancient warrior¡¯s gas-like internal force into the D-tier¡¯s liquid-like internal force was a massive gap!

    An ancient warrior might never be able to achieve that breakthrough and if they were to strain themselves too hard, their training might regress.

    This was an entirely different level.

    Then, Jin Fei¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up, ¡°Boss, does it mean you¡¯re going to let us use...that?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s that¡¯?¡± Zhou Hao asked in confusion.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Yes, the gaea crystal should broaden your dantian and make advancing easier!¡±

    He intended to give Zhou Hao and Jin Fei some gaea crystals!

    This kind of thing naturally could not be given to everyone, so after plundering it Qin Feng did not mention it to everyone in the mercenary group when he came back.

    Guo Guan, Guo Song and Jin Fei were the only ones who knew, and their lips were sealed.

    Jin Fei had long coveted it, but he knew that he had to contribute to something before he could say he deserved it.

    And thepetition could be regarded as a contribution, Qin Feng would naturally issue a reward

    ¡°Thanks, Boss!¡± Jin Fei was extremely excited.

    ¡°Gaea crystal? You mean the stuff that the B-tiers are fighting each other for? This... the value is too high!¡± Zhou Hao was now hesitant.

    Qin Feng patted him on his shoulder. ¡°Right now it¡¯s a fight for survival. Last time I just happened to pick it up as I went along, it¡¯s not as expensive as you think!¡±

    Jin Fei added, ¡°Boss might not have some other things but he definitely has a load of gaea crystals!¡±

    The two went to the Treasure Vault of the Battlegod Tomb, which hadpletely be Qin Feng¡¯s warehouse. The collection here was only one-tenth of Qin Feng¡¯s true hoard.

    More of it was stored in Bai Li¡¯s space!

    Qin Feng handed Jin Fei and Zhou Hao a basketball sized gaea crystal. After they absorb it, their strength would increase by leaps and bounds!

    Of course, the only ce they could practice in was the aircraft!

    After a day off, Qin Feng set off with a group of people.

    Although the aircraft was not as big as the Floating City, it was still a sight to behold. Compared to a hover copter, it was much more obvious, and the rumbling and sounds it made could be felt and heard by the startled people that it flew over.

    Several teenage geniuses from the Four Cities crowded around the windows. They were looking at the scenery outside of the aircraft, and the smaller aircrafts flying behind it.

    Those weremissioned by Xue Xingfu, the goods had arrived and he was going to sell them.

    ¡°My goodness, how much does this airship cost? The Fengli Organization is so strong!¡±

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s strong! It¡¯s the governor¡¯s organization after all, it¡¯s stronger than whatever Dacheng Organization or Leitang Organization that¡¯s out there!¡±

    The discussion was kicked into full swing.

    ¡°Hmph, bumpkins!¡± A son from the Hou Family snorted.

    ¡°Who are you calling a bumpkin? Like you¡¯ve ever been on this aircraft!¡±

    ¡°Oh keep talking! If you don¡¯t want to be here then you can ride a hover copter to Beihua City!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! The exit¡¯s right there, you can jump off anytime!¡±

    The Hou Family member¡¯s face turned red immediately, but he could not say anything to refute.

    Who would want to try and board a hover copter when they were this high up? This boy just did not like the other four that were talking back.

    The status of the ancient warrior families in the Four Cities had dropped significantly. How could they have not sensed all these prodigies?

    When the Hou Family child had nothing more to say, the four changed subjects to talk about Beihua City.

    ¡°They say that Beihua City is as big as a city that existed back before the apocalypse. You can drive a hover car and it would take you two hours before you would reach the other side of the city!¡±

    ¡°Such a city must be very prosperous!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s the regent¡¯s city after all. We would see a lot of strong people there!¡±

    Beihua City was thergest city in the Northern Region. It was also where Regent Shang Han was stationed all year long!

    The center of the entire Northern Region.

    The Prodigy Tournament would only hold the finals in November. Before that, Qin Feng, being the organizer of the Four Cities Trials, had to fight against the prodigies of sixteen other states from more than sixty cities before ten were selected.

    That was why they were going to Beihua City.

 Chapter 489 - Trying Your Might

    <h4>Chapter 489: Trying Your Might</h4>

    The aircraft kept moving forward and eventually reached a dependent city near Beihua City.

    There were eight other cities around Beihua City. It was said that those cities used to be small colonies that grew as Beihua City gradually developed. They were spread out in an octagonal shape, surrounding the main city.

    This particr city was called Mingguang City and Qin Feng wanted to stop by here first.

    He lowered the airship into the wilderness, where someone was already waiting for him.

    ¡°Wee, you must be the Fengli Organization¡¯s president, Mr. Qin Feng. It seems that the youth are really promising!¡±

    ¡°Good day, Mr. Mu Jin!¡±

    Qin Feng shook hands with the other person.

    Mu Jin was a B-tier aptitude user. He did not have an organization but he had a powerful mercenary group, which was about the same as the one that Qin Feng remembered before his rebirth. This mercenary group was dedicated to serving him, and their most valuable asset was Mu Jin¡¯sbat prowess.

    Besides that, an airship would be a good ce to house his logistic staff. That was why he ordered one from Qin Feng.

    Along the way, he had already sold three aircrafts. This would be thest one he was delivering!

    ¡°Mr. Mu, allow me to show you the internal workings of this aircraft!¡± Guo Guan said, waving his hand as an invitation to let Mu Jin on board.

    Mu Jin nodded.

    Just as they were moving, Qin Feng suddenly noticed a blue spot that had appeared on Mu Jin¡¯s face. His expression darkened in an instant.

    This blue spot was the same as aser guided crosshair from a sniper rifle, only that it was more discrete and radiated consciousness.

    It turned consciousness into a straight line, so that it would be easier to conceal it from consciousness detection!

    ¡®Either it¡¯s here to kill me or kill Mu Jin!¡¯ The thought shed through Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    However, when the blue spot stopped for half a second and did not shift, Qin Feng knew that the shooter was aiming at Mu Jin!

    C-tier gunners were rare, but it did not mean that they did not exist and it was terrifying when a gunner had reached B-tier.

    It meant that this type of gunner had at least broken past their consciousness cultivation and weapons that surpassed normal technology.

    And these weapons could not be manufactured by factories at all. They could take down people from thousands of meters away.

    Qin Feng subtly began to manipte his internal force.

    At this moment, an extremely powerful beam of light suddenly appeared from the top of a mountain that was thousands of meters away and was headed directly toward where they were.

    However, as Qin Feng was standing opposite Mu Jin, his rising internal force expanded one meter away from its wielder and intercepted this beam of light.

    It was then that Mu Jin¡¯s pupils shrank from the bright light as it impacted against Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shield.

    Pop!

    His internal force shield was instantly shattered with a soft pop, scattering like broken spider webs.

    This attack was extremely powerful.

    ¡°Take cover!¡± Mu Jin realized that they hadnded themselves in a bad situation and ordered everyone around him to find a ce to hide.

    When the distant shooter realized that nobody was hit, they sent out three missiles.

    These missiles were covered in dark runes that constantly disced their location, bringing up after images that made the missiles hard to lock on and easily hidden

    Of course, it was naturally impossible to avoid Qin Feng¡¯s detection.

    He raised his hand and a hand cannon appeared in his hands as he aimed it at the sky.

    Boom boom boom!

    Three consecutive shots were sent out, knocking down the dark rune-covered missiles but there was a cloud of darkness that also fell along with it.

    ¡°Oh no!¡± Mu Jin yelled abruptly.

    But his words came toote.

    ¡°Looks like you¡¯re in some deep trouble!¡± Qin Feng said with a serious tone.

    ¡°Yes, you can go on ahead. These people are from the Dark Coalition, they¡¯ve had some disagreements with me in the wild and now they keep trying to kill me. I just didn¡¯t expect them to be so bold as to attack me near a city!¡± Mu Jin said. He was a B-tier but he still got caught off guard, that made him a bit flustered.

    Of course, the aptitude users who would dare go after him would definitely not be considered small fry, and they definitely had a B-tier among them.

    ¡°No need, when the customer is in trouble I will naturally help deal with it!¡± Qin Feng stated.

    Soon, the ck cloud rolled toward them. Mu Jin had been affected by this cloud before and instinctively backed away.

    Qin Feng started to walk forward instead.

    ¡°Come back! That¡¯s a dark ability that will make you weak and useless inbat!¡±

    Qin Feng turned a deaf ear and a whirlwind began to form around his body.

    The whirlwind picked up all of the dark runes and he absorbed them into his brow.

    The thing Qin Feng was least afraid of were dark runes.

    When the darkness dissipated, the people within were instantly exposed.

    At least three B-tier aptitude users came in for an ambush.

    They were very surprised that Qin Feng actually took care of the dark cloud. Mu Jin himself had a lot of high level items but none of them would have been effective against the cloud.

    Mu Jin glowered when he saw the three.

    ¡°Gu Chang, Qi Yan and Guan Xuangdong! It really is you!¡±

    These three people were some of the strongest ones in the Dark Coalition. Their bounty stacked up to the trillions in the Bounty Hunter Net.

    However, if someone did not have enough strength, they could not ept their bounty.

    That was why Qin Feng¡¯smunicator did not ring.

    Qin Feng frowned momentarily, then said, ¡°The gunner¡¯s not here! Bai Li, go and have a look!¡±

    ¡°Okay, do you want me to grab them?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, grab them. Their weapons are pretty good!¡±

    The two were speaking tantly to one another, Mu Jin could not believe the sheer audacity that he was listening to.

    The enemies, Gu Chang and Qi Yan, stood on the opposite side with dark expressions on their faces.

    ¡°Where¡¯d this kide from? Speaking so openly. Talks big too.¡±

    ¡°Only C-tier? Did you think that a governor position means that you can be arrogant?¡±

    The three did not hold Qin Feng with much regard, only considering him as an arrogant child.

    At this point, even Mu Jin thought the same.

    ¡®Could it be that Qin Feng has a secret weapon? After all, hispany makes guns. Maybe, he¡¯s only saying this to get their attention so he can st them with his aircraft¡¯s cannons?¡¯ Mu Jin thought with suspicion.

    But, he then saw that Qin Feng was raising his hand and generating arge dark rune from his palm.

    ¡°Excellent timing, now I can test how powerful my newly-learned ability is!¡±

    Mu Jin was stunned, but he was already cursing in his mind.

    ¡®Damn it Qin Feng, have you lost your mind? They¡¯re B-tier!¡¯

    Qin Feng naturally could not hear Mu Jin¡¯s thoughts, even if he did, he would not have taken them seriously.

    After all, his current internal force and dantian capacity was an ungodly amount, so what if they were B-tier?

    Qin Feng had nothing to fear.

    ¡°Apocalypse Bloom!¡±

 Chapter 490 - Thatâ€™s Just Overkill

    <h4>Chapter 490: That¡¯s Just Overkill</h4>

    Naturally, Qin Feng had not lost his marbles. Although the newly created Apocalypse Bloom was only just a dark element rune, it suddenly became a new kind of ability whenbined with all the other runes from the Hellstone.

    Since the Hellstone was an S-tier item, Qin Feng still had not absorbed it until now.

    That was why it was possible for him to create a new move that was more powerful than C-tier.

    When he raised his hand, a lotus flower appeared in his palm. Shadows concentrated themselves onto the lotus as it began to bloom.

    The surrounding light seemed to be getting drained away by this lotus.

    The surrounding people¡¯s vision dimmed and they felt a terrifying aura spread out as they watched Qin Feng with high alert.

    With a push of his hand, he tossed the lotus upward. In an instant, it looked as if a dark cloud had manifested above his head.

    Then a petal detached from the flower and drifted down toward Guan Xuangdong, who was standing at the edge.

    This man was obviously an ability user, and he realized that something was not right.

    The petal looked like it was going to be slow, mainly due to its size. Something that big probably would not be very quick, but it turned out to be the opposite and came crashing down on him.

    As an ability user, he was not very fast to begin with and the width made it hard for him to escape!

    ¡®I¡¯m not buying it! He¡¯s only just a C-tier ability user!¡¯

    As this thought ran through Guan Xuangdong¡¯s mind, he mobilized his consciousness and a torrent of water suddenly appeared around him.

    This wave rushed out violently, racing toward the sky as if shot from a geyser.

    Boom!

    The two abilities collided with one another!

    While it looked like the ck petal became thinner, it was still falling down and it ended up covering Guan Xuangdong¡¯s entire body.

    ¡°Huh? No effect?¡± Guan Xuangdong did not feel anything different and let out augh, ¡°Looks like you were just trying to trick us!¡±

    He did not feel like he was hurt, but everyone else that was looking at him had shocked expressions on their faces.

    Before that, Guan Xuangdong was a thirty year old man but his facial features had changed drastically. There were more lines on his face and his skin seemed to be sagging a bit more.

    To say that he looked like he had suddenly aged ten years was no exaggeration.

    When two other petals fell down, Gu Chang and Qi Yan quickly backed away without saying anything.

    However, it was toote for them to retreat.

    Internal force warped around their entire body, but the ck petals revealed their true power. Their protection was instantly burned away as the petals fell onto them.

    The two did not really feel like anything was off, other than their bodies suddenly feeling weaker. When they looked at their hands, they saw that the originally muscr arms of theirs were wrinkled and had liver spots.

    The two were instantly deprived of their vitality.

    ¡°No, run! Run away!¡±

    These two could not resist Qin Feng¡¯s strange new ability and ended up using qinggong to get out of his range.

    The attack on Gu Chang and Qi Yan were obviously stronger than the attack on Guan Xuangdong. To him, the other two aged twenty years in an instant, which was extremely frightening. This was the moment that he realized that something was wrong and his heart skipped a beat.

    However, he was obviously not as fast as the other two.

    He then had an idea and began to run toward Qin Feng¡¯s direction.

    If he could kill the one controlling the ability, then the dark runes would dissipate!

    Guan Xuangdong was not far from Qin Feng to begin with and he began to mobilize his consciousness again!

    ¡°Water Dragon Style!¡±

    This was an ability that even E-tiers could learn, but with improvements in strength, increase in runes used and better control over consciousness the abilities that carry the dragon¡¯s name with them would have no limits on how powerful it could get.

    As for Guan Xuangdong¡¯s ability, his dragon grew multiple heads. The five heads spread out and attacked Qin Feng from all directions.

    However, Qin Feng did not run away. His internal force was still as smooth as a mirror¡¯s surface.

    ¡°Qin Feng, get away!¡± Mu Jin eximed.

    Even he himself did not dare to directly take on Guan Xuangdong¡¯s water abilities.

    When the water dragon was already in front of Qin Feng and collided with his internal force shield, it turned into a stream of water and flowed away.

    The other heads came in one after the other but they were all met with the same fate. Qin Feng¡¯s body did not even budge.

    Not only did the water dragon dissipate, Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was still holding.

    It shattered itself trying to break through his shield.

    ¡°Impossible!¡± Guan Xuangdong could not believe what he was seeing as despair floated into his vision.

    Another petal had fallen.

    ¡°Aaah!!¡±

    He let out a loud roar, his consciousness constantly mobilizing waves of water. This was no longer a callous attack like thest one but instead a frantic all out attack.

    The water ability and the dark ability shed

    Such a scene was terrifying to behold. Water enough to fill wholekes sshed from Guan Xuangdong, rocketing into the air as people began to evacuate.

    Those who had already made it to the airship were staring with wide eyes, gulping hard as they felt cold sweat drip down their backs!

    ¡°Although the main cannon of the airship can kill a B-tier, but if it gets caught off guard by one, even its size wouldn¡¯t be able to save it from beingpletely perforated!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! This is way too strong! So this is B-tier!¡±

    ¡°But, if a B-tier is forced to act like this then wouldn¡¯t that mean the president is...¡±

    The thought entered everyone¡¯s mind.

    Would that not mean that Qin Feng was stronger?

    On the airship, the other young geniuses were even more shocked to the point of speechlessness. Even the Hou family and Tieh family¡¯s people had their mouths glued shut!

    They might have been dissatisfied with Qin Feng before, but now they were absolutely terrified of him.

    However, this fear was about to reach its apex.

    Even though Gu Chang and Qi Yan ran away, they were still brushed by the petals from the Apocalypse Bloom. They aged twenty years again in an instant and looked like they were seventy to eighty years old, but they still had internal strength in their bodies which allowed them to escape.

    Guan Xuangdong was still en-scene and he was not so lucky.

    The Apocalypse Bloom began to release more petals, first one, then three, as more and more began to fall.

    The lotus spread out the petals to everywhere in its range. The whole scenested for five minutes.

    Guan Xuangdong could not even hang on for one minute.

    He turned from a young man to a middle-aged man, then an old man, and finally began to start dying. Even with his immense power it still was not enough to save himself from death.

    He even used several life-saving items but those prove to be useless as he eventually met his demise.

    Even after he ceased to be, the Apocalypse Bloom continued. His body turned into a dried up corpse and then became a skeleton until that too turned into dust. If there were no clothes and rune equipment left behind, it would have been impossible to know that this was where a B-tier aptitude user once stood.

    The Apocalypse Bloom finally stopped

    Qin Feng thought about it for a while and then said, ¡°Well, that was a waste!¡±

    It was like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer! An absolute overkill!

    Mu Jin, who was behind Qin Feng, could not believe what he just saw.

 Chapter 491 - Passing Through?

    <h4>Chapter 491: Passing Through?</h4>

    Mu Jin could clearly detect that Qin Feng was a C-tier, not an A-tier.

    Actually managing to kill a B-tier and still retain that rxed look on his face as if he had just wasted energy.

    This was a situation that Mu Jin found to be a little uneptable!

    It was then something more despairing happened.

    As soon as Qin Feng stopped, another figure suddenly appeared. It turned out to be the stunning beauty that looked soft and weak, Qin Feng¡¯s little girlfriend had returned!

    Before he started fighting these three people, Bai Li disappeared. Now after Qin Feng¡¯s ability had stopped, she returned with the person she caught.

    The silver whip had trapped the gunner in a space, as if he was ced inside a meterrge silver box. His whole body seemed distorted.

    Some of his bones might have ended up snapping in the process, it was hard to tell which ones.

    ¡°He¡¯s the one that shot at us just now! Oh, I¡¯ve also taken his spatial rune equipment, there¡¯s a lot of good things in there!¡± A piece of rope was wrapped around Bai Li¡¯s finger. She flicked it twice, causing the silver stone at the end of it to spin.

    It was definitely the spatial rune equipment of a gunner!

    ¡°Hmm, let me see. If there¡¯s anything good, I¡¯ll get Guo Guan to research something new!¡±

    Even though the gunner was locked inside the space, he could still hear what Qin Feng was saying and he glowered at him.

    Qin Feng then said, ¡°Mr. Mu, this matter is your business after all. Consider this person here as a present!¡±

    He waved his hand at Bai Li to signal for her to release her prisoner.

    Bai Li released the gunner, revealing that his legs had been broken so he could not run away. Now that he had no machines to use, he did not seem so threatening.

    ¡°Who the hell are you? Why can¡¯t you mind your own business?¡± The gunner did not know who Qin Feng was at all. Right now, all he had seen was a C-tier unleashing an unexpected burst of power and he knew that they were definitely not nobodies, but he was not happy about dying without at least getting some answers.

    Qin Feng looked at him with cold regard. ¡°Since you ambushed Mr. Mu, you¡¯d know what he¡¯s here for, right? You should have paid more attention!¡±

    The man studied Qin Feng¡¯s appearance and the badge on his chest. It was then realization struck him, and the situation finally became clear to him.

    ¡°You¡¯re that president from Fengli, Qin...¡±

    Obviously the gunner did not know Qin Feng¡¯s name very well.

    Qin Feng did not care either way.

    He ignored the shocked gunner, looked at Mu Jin and said, ¡°Mr. Mu, let¡¯s continue, so you can see if you like this aircraft or not!¡±

    ¡°No need, President Qin, I owe you big time!¡± Mu Jin directly transferred the remaining amount to the Fengli Organization¡¯s ount.

    ¡°But the inspection of goods is a necessary business affair. Guo Guan, take Mr. Mu along for an inspection!¡±

    ¡°Of course, President. Sir,e have a look, it wouldn¡¯t take much time. Oh right, the aircraft has cells and its defenses are quite good. Would you like to try it out?¡±

    Guo Guan gestured in the direction of the B-tier gunner.

    The gunner red at Guo Guan. He was an official B-tier but he was getting put in a cell by a D-tier. Talk about a tiger getting bullied by a dog.

    ¡°Haha, good idea, good idea!¡±

    Mu Jin let out augh before picking up the gunner with his consciousness and bringing him onto the airship.

    As for Gu Chang and Qi Yin, they had already run out of sight.

    Mu Jin did not really want to do an inspection as his heart was not on the aircraft anymore. Even after azy sweep around, he felt satisfied that he had gotten a good deal out of this.

    The most important thing was not just him getting rid of a major enemy, but also making friends with someone as powerful as Qin Feng.

    Obviously, Qin Feng had already been regarded as an ally. His ability to take down B-tiers while being a C-tier was simply too incredible, his power was too strong.

    Of course, there was a stronger thought in Mu Jin¡¯s mind.

    When he hurriedly returned from the aircraft, he made a sincere invitation.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know if Mr. Qin has any thoughts about Beihua City¡¯s Northern Abyss. If you do, I can bring you there!¡± Mu Jin said.

    The Northern Abyss was a fairly well-known alternate ne in Beihua City. Two hundred years ago when the world began to end, the ground split open a giant hole and countless creatures with dark auras poured from it. Their strength was terrifying to behold.

    Shang Han was stationed in Beihua City just to suppress this.

    ¡°Maybe I¡¯ll check it out if I have time!¡± Qin Feng replied, tactfully refusing Mu Jin¡¯s offer.

    The other party obviously wanted to cooperate with him.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s current strength had almost reached the strength that he had as a mercenary lord in his past life, even if he was only C-tier right now.

    With such power, he could make a breakthrough anywhere but he was not a suitable partner with anyone else. More often than not he found himself at odds with others when trying to share the spoils.

    Mu Jin had a very good idea. He had taken a fancy to Qin Feng¡¯s power. The Apocalypse Bloom was simply a power for mass destruction, very suitable for the Northern Abyss. Unfortunately, Qin Feng was not as keen as Mu Jin.

    ¡°Hah, alright then I won¡¯t stay any longer!¡± Mu Jin was as sly as a fox, reacting to Qin Feng¡¯s excuse and feeling a little disappointed.

    This Qin Feng really left people speechless.

    Thest time he took a C-tier to the abyss, they were eternally grateful to him.

    Qin Feng on the other hand rejected him! Just how on Earth did he get so strong?

    ¡°Nice working with you!¡± Qin Feng reached out to shake Mu Jin¡¯s hand before saying goodbye, and the two went their separate ways.

    Once the ce hadpletely calmed down, drones began to quietly retreat from a distance away.

    In the office building of the Human Alliance in Mingguang City, a B-tier blinked his sore eyes to rx himself.

    ¡°Who is this guy? He killed Guan Xuangdong so easily!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s ability was too powerful, and they were not far from Mingguang City, which caused its rms to sound and startle the city duke.

    He got rid of Guan Xuangdong like swiping dust away, for the Mingguang City¡¯s duke this felt like a big deal.

    Where did this persone from?

    ¡°That... Duke, I think I recognize that person!¡±

    ¡°Oh? Who is he?¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s called Qin Feng, from the Four Cities on the North Sea!¡±

    ¡°Four Cities? Why did hee here from so far away?¡± The city duke obviously could not figure it out.

    ¡°This guy established an organization that sells aircraft, like the one we saw in the video. Maybe he¡¯s just here to deliver it!¡±

    ¡°Oh, he¡¯s just passing through!¡± The city baron let out a sigh of relief and waved his hand dismissively. ¡°Right right, we¡¯re not gonna worry about this anymore. The Northern Prodigy Tournament is going to be held here soon. There are going to be more aptitude usersing through. Pay attention and don¡¯t get tricked by the Dark Coalition!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Duke!¡±

    The City Duke of Mingguang City thought that Qin Feng was only passing through, but he did not expect him to also be taking part in the Prodigy Tournament. When he saw that Qin Feng was participating, his jaw almost dropped off!

 Chapter 492 - Arriving at Beihua

    <h4>Chapter 492: Arriving at Beihua</h4>

    They reached Beihua in less than half a day after passing by Mingguang City. Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft was too big to be allowed in the city. He parked the aircraft outside and led the contestants into the city.

    Beihua City wasrger than they had initially imagined. Walking through the bustling main street was telling enough about the city¡¯s prosperity.

    The strength of a city could be judged based on the residents in it. Ever since they walked into Beihua, they had not seen any deserted area or slums.

    This meant that the people here were living afortable life. There was no oppression inside the high wall, at least on the surface.

    Such a scene was scarce in the post-apocalyptic world today.

    It all boiled down to the amazing leadership of the A-tier elect here. Shang Han was a ruler that was very particr about regtion and discipline.

    Contestants from the sixteen regions had all pre-registered for the Prodigy Tournament and they had been arranged to live in the same hotel.

    ¡°Here are the room cards. If you don¡¯t have any further questions, then you¡¯re dismissed. It¡¯s up to you whether you want to walk around or do some light training.¡± Qin Feng passed the card to Jin Fei and thetter distributed the card to everyone else.

    One of the youngsters from the Yang family chipped in, ¡°Governor, why don¡¯t you bring us with you to tour around the city? This ce sure is full of powerful aptitude users!¡± They would feel safer with Qin Feng around.

    Qin Feng gazed at him and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you bring along your servants so they can pamper you?¡±

    The young master¡¯s face reddened instantly. He thought Qin Feng would not mind showing them around the famous Beihua city since the Yang family was on good terms with the governor.

    Apparently, Qin Feng did not have the slight intention to babysit them. The young master certainly had thought too big of himself. Qin Feng was treating the Yang family nicely simply because of their general ethic. It did not mean he would tolerate their childishness.

    ¡°Dismiss!¡± Qin Feng said sternly.

    The rest of them looked at Qin Feng cautiously, then went separate ways with their luggage.

    Jin Fei excused himself politely, ¡°President, I will take my leave now.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I have somewhere to go too. See you!¡± Zhou Hao was prepared to leave too.

    ¡°I will be at the certification hall with Bai Li. Ring mymunicator anytime if you run into trouble,¡± Qin Feng was obviously treating Zhou Hao differently than others.

    ¡°What trouble would there be? I am going into the Battlegod Tomb to practice while there¡¯s still time, unlike those brats.¡± Zhou Hao shook his head. ¡°Go do your things and don¡¯t worry about me.¡±

    Zhou Hao did not tell Qin Feng that while thetter was busy attending to the corporate business, he had talked to the other prodigies in hopes of broadening hiswork and gathering more allies. However, he soon realized there was amunication gap between him and the other young prodigies despite their close age.

    These young talents were indeed excellent fighters but all they knew were theory and knowledge from the books.

    On the other hand, thanks to Qin Feng, Zhou Hao had been constantly exposed to the outside world. That brought out the hidden potential in him. Not only that, he had been entrusted to look over the colony whenever Qin Feng was gone.

    Simply put, Zhou Hao had long stepped into the real world fighting for survival while those youngsters were still being delicately protected inside a bubble.

    Nevertheless, interacting with them allowed Zhou Hao to understand how lucky he was.

    The number of resources Qin Feng had given him in the early days had already surpassed what these young masters were getting from their respective families. Not to mention that Qin Feng now possessed an ample amount of gaea crystal.

    ¡®I will never let Qin Feng down. I am willing to do anything to keep up with him. This is the only way to repay his trust. First, I am going to conquer D-tier as soon as possible!¡¯

    ***

    Qin Feng did not loosen up when Zhou Hao was working hard. He did not need to be assessed and was directly awarded the C-tier badge since he was appointed as a governor. However, Bai Li was not given the privilege.

    Since they were free now, it was about time for Bai Li to take the qualification exam.

    Inside the Beihua aptitude user certification hall.

    Bai Li passed the assessment and test with ease. It was time for her to take on the mission.

    ¡°There are five sealed rifts around Beihua City. You can choose either one to enter. To pass the test, you are required to kill at least fifty normal C-tier beasts or one C-tier beast general!¡±

    The number of beasts to be killed would be fewer the higher the tier went. This was because C-tier beasts were extremely dangerous beings.

    ¡°Hubby, which one should we choose?¡± Bai Li looked at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Northern Abyss.¡± It was the most dangerous spot.

    ¡°Okay. I choose the Northern Abyss!¡± Bai Li said to the staff.

    The person frowned. ¡°Missus, I advise you to change to another rift. The Northern Abyss is extremely dangerous and may not be suitable for you.¡±

    Bai Li shook her head and insisted. ¡°It¡¯s all the same to me. I am choosing this.¡±

    ¡°Well...¡± The person was reluctant to let Bai Li through knowing how deadly the Northern Abyss could be.

    An aptitude user queued up behind Qin Feng said, ¡°Have you ever heard about that ce? It¡¯s the worst ce possible you could ever imagine. The abyss was only conquered after some hard-fought battle led by our old mayor.¡±

    Qin Feng and Bai Li turned to him out of courtesy.

    The aptitude user was immediately captivated and locked his sight onto Bai Li. He could tell that Bai Li was pretty by ncing at her side-face but it was even more stunning when he looked straight into her face.

    Moreover, both her hair and iris were silver in color. Though she might have dyed the hair, it was also possible that she adopted the color through some unique neigong.

    In short, her otherworldly beauty had deeply astonished him.

    ¡°There are also B-tier monsters and B-tier beast emperors lurking around the abyss. Bumping into any of those would be disastrous. It¡¯s better to be careful!¡± The aptitude user was trying to look for a topic.

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows and moved in front of Bai Li.

    ¡°Thanks for your advice. But we have made up our mind!¡± Qin Feng said and signaled for Bai Li to take the ess card.

    Bai Li turned and talked to the staff but the aptitude user refused to give up. He continued his babble, ¡°Why are you putting your partner onto such a dangerous path? What are you plotting? Don¡¯t tell me you are trying to get her killed so that you will inherit her fortune!? How can you be so cruel?¡±

    Qin Feng was slightly amused by the stranger¡¯s gibberish.

    ¡°Will you let your other half die if she is as beautiful as my wife?¡±

    The guy looked at Bai Li¡¯s back. Even her back figure was such an eye-pleaser.

    ¡°Of course not!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right! I won¡¯t too!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°It¡¯s done! Let¡¯s go!¡± Bai Li said and gave Qin Feng a smile.

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    They ignored everyone else and walked away holding each other¡¯s hand. The aptitude user was still mesmerized by Bai Li¡¯s smile and only regained himself after the couple had disappeared into a corner.

    ¡°I am going to the abyss too!¡± The aptitude user mmed his assessment pass angrily on the desk.

 Chapter 493 - Northern Abyss

    <h4>Chapter 493: Northern Abyss</h4>

    ¡°Good day, Master Chui Yang! As you wish!¡±

    The surname Chui was very special in Beihua City.

    The family was once the dominant force in this city because they were led by a powerful A-tier aptitude user¡ªThe Fire Lord Chui Lian. It was well respected across the continent in Qin Feng¡¯s past life.

    No one would have thought that Chui Lian¡¯s life would be unexpectedly taken in an ident. Ever since his passing, the family plunged from being the most prestigious family in Beihua into a declining, no-longer-relevant faction.

    The reason the family was still holding a ce in Beihua was thanks to their A-tier elder, who was more than one hundred years old. Thus, people in Beihua city, especially those from the middle and lower sses, would still give face to the Chui family despite them falling out of favor.

    ¡°Young Master, do you need to find more men to go with you?¡± A B-tier aptitude user known as Liu Yue asked. He was sent by the family to make sure that Chui Yang would pass the C-tier assessment safely.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. We are not exploring deep. Just follow the couple from earlier.¡± Chui Yang waved his hand impatiently.

    ¡°Okay. Please get into the car, Young Master. We will head out of town.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    The two men got into a hover tank. It would take half an hour to get out of the town. Once outside, they would need to take the hover copter to reach the destination.

    Chui Yang initially thought that it would be easy to catch up to Qin Feng. To their surprise, the two unknown aptitude users were driving a more powerful vehicle. They elerated to max speed but could hardly shorten the gap.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Silver Bolt and Sky Dweller were no longer the same vehicles from when he first bought them. Guo Guan had reced the turbo and hover system with more powerful units. Their speed probably would not lose to the fastest car and chopper in the market.

    Inside the Sky Dweller, Qin Feng frowned slightly as he could sense they were being followed.

    ¡°Hubby, why are those two from before following us? Should we shake them off?¡± Bai Li asked.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine. Just let them be.¡±

    ¡°Okay. I don¡¯t sense any hostility from them anyway.¡±

    ¡°Of course there isn¡¯t. They are just being curious and probably coveted by your beauty!¡± Qin Feng shook his head.

    Sky Dweller traveled safely through the sky. The sky and the ground around Beihua City were being constantly swept. That was because it would be terrible if a war were to break out here. There were simply too many rifts around the region. To use a space stabilizer to secure this area was no longer an option.

    The hover copter flew on for another twenty minutes and a hundred-meter-tall wall came into sight. The wall was painted pitch ck.

    ¡°We have arrived!¡± Qin Feng said and descended the Sky Dweller.

    The Northern Abyss was located among valleys and it was a humongous spatial tunnel that spanned about a hundred meters wide.

    Till today, humans were still unable to find a spatial stonerge enough to seal off this ce.

    As such, they opted for the only feasible alternative, which was topletely iste the spatial tunnel. They moved mountains around it and built arge wall between the gaps. Furthermore, the sky was sealed with a special barrier to imprison the beasts inside a man-made giant fortress.

    The beasts arriving from this rift were not highly intelligent. They came to Earth through therge tunnel and would soon figure out that this ce was another limited habitat with scarce resources. Most of the mutated beast would thus return to their own worlds after a short while.

    This method had sessfully contained the abyss for fifty long years.

    The massive wall was filled with dense dark runes. It was a safety measure to hinder the beast from perceiving the condition outside of the fortress.

    The only entrance was being guarded by an elite army. The captains here were all B-tiers. These people nced at the hover copter briefly and immediately got back to their duty.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li alighted and walked toward the gate.

    ¡°We are here for the C-tier assessment.¡± Qin Feng spoke and asked Bai Li to disy her mission card.

    ¡°Only the two of you?¡± The guard looked at them curiously. He was apparently unconvinced by Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s capability.

    ¡°More than enough,¡± Qin Feng replied confidently.

    The B-tier aptitude user found Qin Feng¡¯s answer funny but he did not say anything.

    ¡°We just let a party through earlier. You have to wait here until there are ten candidates.¡±

    Qin Feng did not protest and waited patiently. Chui Yang and his bodyguard reached not long after. They were still short of heads. However, the B-tier aptitude user seemed to recognize Chui Yang and his bodyguard.

    ¡°Master Chui, Mr. Liu!¡±

    ¡°Good day, Captain Yang Pi!¡±

    ¡°Are you here for the C-tier mission?¡± Yang Pi was baffled. He quietly wondered what brought the C-tier candidates to the abyss today. ¡®Don¡¯t they understand how dangerous this ce is?¡¯

    ¡°Yes,¡± Liu Yue answered. Chui Yang, on the other hand, was busy trying to strike a conversation with Qin Feng and Bai Li again. He was more courageous this time with Liu Yue by his side.

    ¡°Hey bro! What a coincidence!¡± Chui Yang said insincerely.

    Qin Feng was not fond of a rich kid like him. It was easy to tell that the young man was a descendent of a well-known family since the B-tier guard treated them so differently.

    ¡°Coincidence or not, I think you know best,¡± Qin Feng replied coldly.

    ¡°Haha. I am here to make sure the two of you don¡¯t throw away your life this easily. Why not tag along with us? It¡¯s safer to have a B-tier aptitude user around!¡±

    ¡°Thanks for the offer but no thanks.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t reject me so quickly. Let¡¯s ask for thedy¡¯s opinion. I haven¡¯t gotten your name yet, too!¡±

    Unfortunately, both of them were not enthused to talk to him.

    The B-tier guard felt a little awkward, while Liu Yue was unhappy with their attitude. ¡°Know your manners. My young master is being kind and has offered to help you. It¡¯s one thing that you don¡¯t appreciate it. But now you are just being rude. You should at least tell us your name!¡±

    Qin Feng pulled a long face and chastised him, ¡°You aren¡¯t worth my politeness.¡±

    Liu Yue frowned out of anger. ¡°Watch your tongue, young man.¡± He did not expect a C-tier to be acting so arrogantly in front of him.

    Yang Pi did not want trouble, at least not in front of the gate. There were surveince drones around this area. Besides, Qin Feng¡¯s badge showed that he was a governor. It would be extremely troublesome if something were to happen to him under his watch.

    ¡°Calm down. I will give face to Master Chui and open the gate for you all. You can settle your dispute in there.¡± They could do whatever they wanted once they were inside the abyss. He could not care less.

    ¡°Fine!¡± Liu Yue was infuriated. Chui Yang, in contrast, was stiffened by the heated exchange. He only wanted to get acquainted with the beautifuldy and never thought that the situation would escte like that.

    Qin Feng did not mind since he wanted to enter the abyss as soon as possible.

    Yang Pi took out four palm-sized bronzenterns and handed it to them. ¡°The Northern Abyss does not have much light. This runic equipment would light up to thirty meters around you. It also helps to repel the weaker beasts and keep you safe from being mobbed by the beasts. Finally, it also serves as a recorder to help you register your kill count and exchange for resourcester. To rent this, you will need to first deposit 50 million. It¡¯s up to you whether you want to take it or not!¡±

 Chapter 494 - Mission Accomplished

    <h4>Chapter 494: Mission Aplished</h4>

    Qin Feng had no problem with the visibility issue but he was enticed by the device¡¯s recording function. Besides, he did not wish to raise suspicion so he took twonterns.

    Chui Yang and Liu Yue took two as well.

    Yang Pi opened the gate once both parties had deposited 100 million.

    Every time the gate was to be utched, the guard needed to haul in the dark ability to first mask the opening so that the beasts inside would not notice.

    But the guards could not guarantee that those who entered might not immediately bump into a beast near the entrance. They would only have luck to me if one were killed this way.

    After all, one should already be aware of the enormous risk beforeing to the Northern Abyss.

    The four of them went through the gate and the light in their surroundings immediately dimmed significantly.

    The bronzentern was the only source of light inside the abyss.

    Nheless, Qin Feng was not at all bothered by the low visibility.

    His ability allowed him to see clearly in the dark.

    The mountains extended as far as the eyes could see. There were no tall trees around and even the ground waspletely dark. No vegetation was within sight. Arge fortress stood tall behind Qin Feng to enclose the entire region.

    The walls were built to even the height of the surrounding mountains. A powerful force field that was usually used to shield human cities could be seen extending from the top of the wall. Instead of providing protection, this force field was used to contain the danger within this region.

    From inside, even the force field was pitch ck. Color was non-existent inside this dark world.

    Creak! Dong!

    The gate closed up and dissipated some energy resulting from the impact. The slight disturbance did not escape the heightened senses of nearby beasts.

    These mutated beasts looked obnoxious. Each measured about 2.5 meters with their skin covered by slimy mucus. The beasts had tiny eyes and disproportionallyrge fangs. Four of their limbs crawled agilely through the ground with their back humps high.

    These beasts sniffed around and suddenly dashed toward the four neers.

    ¡°I heard some movement. Stay alert, Young Master,¡± Liu Yue warned his young master and nced at Qin Feng scornfully. He wished to see how the arrogant young man would react in this situation.

    To his surprise, Qin Feng seemed rather rxed.

    ¡°Can you still see?¡± Qin Feng asked. The darkness might not trouble him but could still be a hindrance to Bai Li.

    ¡°Not a problem.¡± Bai Li nodded. This was nothing to Bai Li, a formidable spatial beast.

    The beasts were closing in fast as they spoke. Its nasty head appeared abruptly as soon as the beast entered the illumination range.

    ¡°Ah!!¡± Chui Yang eximed out of surprise.

    Liu Yue immediately came in front of Chui Yang and was prepared to stop the beast.

    However, Bai Li acted faster. A silver whip appeared in her hand out of nowhere and sheshed it right at the iing beast.

    Woosh!

    The whipnded on the beast and instantly tore the beast¡¯s flesh. The whip then coiled around its head and beheaded the beast after a strong pull.

    Poof!

    Blood sshed out from its decapitated neck and stained the ground. But not long after, the ground would turn ck again.

    Chui Yang and Liu Yue were both dazzled.

    They could not believe a powerful C-tier beast had just been killed with such ease. Its life ended within seconds, before both of them could even react.

    More beasts appeared from the dark now.

    Bai Li whipped her weapon and took care of several beasts in one fell swoop. Not only that but Qin Feng and Bai Li were also marching forward casually into the unknown darkness.

    Chui Yang and Liu Yue did not think much and followed them. Qin Feng did not stop them either.

    Qin Feng paced forward and did nothing. More beasts gathered around them as they went deeper. C-tier aptitude users usually navigated along the wall instead of walking straight into the beast herd.

    They were almost going downhill now!

    ¡°Thisdy... How could she be so strong?¡± Chui Yang watched Bai Li and knew deep down that he was no match for her.

    Liu Yue was even more embarrassed. He had mocked Bai Li and Qin Feng before, which was biting back at him now. Bai Li alone was enough to put down the flock of beasts running at them.

    More so, Bai Li had killed fifty beasts within half an hour after they entered the abyss!

    ¡°I havepleted my mission!¡± Bai Li said and turned off the recording on hermunicator.

    ¡°Great!¡± Qin Feng nodded and turned to Chui Yang, Liu Yue. ¡°Aren¡¯t you two here to take the exam as well? The beasts wouldn¡¯t kill themselves for you.¡±

    Chui Yang had lost his interest in Bai Li altogether. He doubted that Bai Li was only a C-tier after witnessing how she had taken care of the beasts so easily.

    ¡®Thisdy must be hiding her true strength. Even then, her prowess is still way beyond my league. I should not mess with her.¡¯

    Chui Yang reckoned it was best to distance himself from Bai Li. He had nothing to withstand thedy if she decided to shut him up with force.

    However, his respect and fear were only directed toward Bai Li and not Qin Feng.

    ¡°That¡¯s none of your business!¡± Chui Yang said to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°You are right. However, if you don¡¯t leave now, I am afraid that you may not be able to leave at all.¡±

    ¡°What are you saying? Are you threatening my young master?¡± Liu Yue stepped up imposingly and questioned furiously.

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°It¡¯s just a friendly reminder. If you don¡¯t want to listen, fine by me.¡±

    A saber came into Qin Feng¡¯s hand as he spoke.

    Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The fuchsia me on it burned brightly. Qin Feng then shed the saber upward and a blinding radiance soon ascended into the air above.

    The fuchsia ray spread out and lit arger area. beasts within three hundred meters instead of thirty meters had all be visible now.

    Chui Yang was shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s reckless action. ¡°What are you doing? Are you insane?¡±

    ¡°Stop wasting time with this guy. Let¡¯s run, Young Master!¡±

    Liu Yue picked up Chui Yang by his shoulder and stomped on the ground. The reverse momentum immediately sent them backward by a few tens of meters.

    ¡°Eh! How about...?!¡± Chui Yang turned back to nce at Bai Li. He wished to bring Bai Li along. But it was toote. From the light of the saber, Chui Yang could see that hundreds of beasts were lunging at Qin Feng simultaneously.

    Chui Yang¡¯s face turned pale and he could not muster another word, but he kept turning back to see what was happening.

    The most unthinkable event unfolded in front of his very eyes.

    Qin Feng did not run. He was calm like still water one second and in the next moment, he swiped his sword rapidly in a perfect circle.

    Sword re!

    zing fuchsia rays suddenly exploded following Qin Feng¡¯s motion and sliced all the jumping beasts in half.

    Horrifyingly, the light from the saber had attracted more and more beasts toward him.

 Chapter 495 - Abyss, or Slaughterhouse?

    <h4>Chapter 495: Abyss, or ughterhouse?</h4>

    It soon turned into a recurring cycle. Qin Feng kept his movements minimal while Bai Li did not get involved at all. It was like Qin Feng and Bai Li had switched roles from earlier on.

    ¡°They are the beasts here!¡± Chui Yang could not find any other words to describe them.

    Qin Feng did not care about the two spectators and continued his massacre.

    Ever since they had decided to relocate Fengli, Qin Feng had not been hunting for a long time till today. Parallel training through normal means could hardly satisfy his appetite as an aptitude user with the Absorption Ability.

    Hence, he was determined to kill as many beasts as he could since such a chance was hard toe by nowadays.

    Numerous beasts were continuously drawn in by Qin Feng but he kept on ying them down. The corpses began to pile up under him. Qin Feng could feel an ample amount of energy being absorbed into his body through his legs.

    ¡®This is awesome!¡¯

    C-tier beasts were clearly different from D-tiers. The amount of energy avable for absorption in the former greatly exceeded that of thetter.

    The key was Qin Feng¡¯s glimmering Verdant Saber. It served as a beacon in this dark world that continuously drew more beasts to him.

    ¡®Kill! Kill them all!!¡¯

    Qin Feng¡¯s saber sliced through the air tirelessly and cut down one after another beast crawling out from the abyss.

    ¡°Howl!¡±

    A figure clearlyrger than the other beasts emerged. It was a beast general judging by the volume of its aura. That was not all, two other beast generals subsequently revealed themselves right behind the first.

    Liu Yue and Chui Yang watched in horror.

    Though the C-tier beast general was not as scary as a beast king, a normal C-tier aptitude user would still find it difficult to face a beast general alone.

    They wanted to see how Qin Feng would fight three generals at once.

    Qin Feng was not bothered by their abrupt entrance. He waited andunched his attack only after the three beast generals charged at him.

    ¡°Magma burst!¡±

    Qin Feng triggered his conscious energy and directed a stream of magma right at those beast generals. He followed through andunched his saber.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    The me looked more like viscous magma and instantly tore apart the general¡¯s hardened skin.

    In a sh, Qin Feng¡¯s saber had cut through the beast numerous times before it could react.

    For Qin Feng, it only took slightly longer to finish off one beast general aspared to a minion.

    To an outsider, the powerful C-tier beast general seemed toothless in front of Qin Feng. The truth was, the beast did not be weaker. It was Qin Feng that was inhumanly strong!

    As time passed, Chui Yang and Liu Yue¡¯s legs began to numb after prolonged squatting. When they looked at theirmunicator only then did they realize that they had watched a C-tier battle for an hour straight.

    ¡°This person must be a well-known aptitude user. He is too strong. Not even a B-tier could do what he did. Besides, his understanding of ancient martial arts is... out of this world.¡± Liu Yue said with mixed feelings. He was envious and looked more embarrassed than ever.

    He regretted looking down on Qin Feng earlier on.

    Chui Yang nodded grudgingly as well. He had to admit Qin Feng was truly outrageous.

    ¡°Forget it. These two are not someone we can mess around with. Uncle Liu, let¡¯s move to another spot and work on my mission.¡±

    ¡°Okay. Young Master, let¡¯s go this way.¡±

    ¡°After you.¡±

    The two of them left Qin Feng¡¯s hunting ground and began to search for their prey. Probably because Qin Feng had attracted most of the beasts to him, the number of remaining beasts became scarce. They managed to found a lone beast rather quickly.

    It took Chui Yang a great deal to finally kill a single beast. It hurt him to recall how dominated Qin Feng and Bai Li were against the same C-tier beast. Though his life was not threatened in the process, the time to finish one battle was extremely long inparison.

    After half a day had passed, the bronzentern glowed differently to remind them it was night time soon.

    Not only would the beasts¡¯ power grow significantly during the night, but the force field around the region would be enhanced too. It was extremely tough to withstand the growing pressure inside the abyss during the night even for a C-tier. Hence, thentern served as a signal to warn the users, asking them to abort the abyss as soon as possible.

    Qin Feng did not n to disobey the retreat call. He sheathed the saber and used his consciousness to chase away the beasts that tried to chase after him.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were not the only ones retreating at this time. There were about fifty users at the front gate when they arrived.

    Creak!

    The gate opened once again and the gathered aptitude users walked out swiftly.

    Surprisingly, no beast was seen pursuing the departing group like it usually would. Yang Pi remained vignt despite the rare quietness from inside and shut the gate immediately.

    ¡°Please return your bronzentern so we can record the kill count and point reward.¡±

    The small crowd queued up in an orderly fashion. Though most of them were B-tiers, they had no conflict with each other. Some even began to exchange information while waiting for their turn.

    Everyone needed info on how to navigate safely through the ever-dangerous abyss.

    The Northern Abyss was not only a ce full of fallen beasts but numerous elects had also paid their lives in it.

    Hence, to minimize the number of casualties, most explorers would tacitly tell each other about what they found and where they had gone on that particr day. This could also increase the chances of their body and runic equipment being found if any misfortune were to happen to them in the future.

    The aptitude users submitted their scores one by one. Chui Yang was from the famous Chui family so the others let him go first.

    ¡°Nice job, Young Master. You had killed 12 beasts today!¡±

    The beast inside the Northern Abyss usually moved in groups. If the candidate did not enter the abyss in a group, then it would spell doom for the aptitude user.

    In other words, the most important thing was not how to kill the beast, but how to locate and kill a lone beast.

    Chui Yang was lucky that most of the beasts he found were alone. However, he was not at all delighted because he knew the real reason behind this ¡°luck¡±.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing spectacr!¡± Chui Yang forced a smile.

    ¡°At this rate, you wouldplete the C-tier mission in five days. Allow me to congratte you in advance,¡± Yang Piplimented Chui Yang as he tried to fawn the influential young master.

    Chui Yang paid little attention to him. ¡®How many beasts did he kill, I wonder.¡¯

    This was when he heard an exmationing from the adjacent line.

    ¡°Fifty in one day? Where did shee from?¡±

    Everyone turned to Bai Li.

    The materials gained by killing the beasts in the Northern Abyss had little market value. Yet, the reward was very lucrative.

    A C-tier beast was equal to 1 point, and 1 point was equivalent to 100 million.

    Cumtively, fifty beasts were equal to 5 billion. Though it was not a big sum to a C-tier, the number could add up handsomely to 150 billion in a month. That was more rewarding and less risky than trying to kill a D-tier beast emperor!

 Chapter 496 - Itâ€™s Him

    <h4>Chapter 496: It¡¯s Him</h4>

    After all, moving outbound would often involve establishment of mercenaries that would take up a significant portion of loot for the distribution to the troops. Also, it had to be spearheaded by capable leaders to go against powerful ultra beasts.

    Powerful figures would often have their own worries, and Gao Yukang was an exceptionally outstanding figure that outshined the others.

    Anyone could easily stumble into the death trap, and not even the powerful figures could defy such an unfortunate destiny.

    Everyone was focusing on Bai Li and her D-tier badge, she was undoubtedly there to take part in the assessment.

    From her appearance, she looked like she was a new aptitude user, and was underage.

    Furthermore, her gorgeous look had attracted many to peek at her.

    It was at that moment; everyone was shocked by a sudden exmation.

    ¡°Is... is your bronzentern faulty?!¡± An examiner cried out loud.

    Everyone else looked toward the examiner.

    Qin Feng was standing right in front of the examiner.

    ¡°Thismp belongs to you; shouldn¡¯t you know better?¡±

    ¡°But, your points!¡±

    ¡°Is there anything wrong with the points?¡± Yang Bei noticed that Qin Feng was talking to a staff and he could not resist the urge to find out what was happening, after all, Qin Feng was the one who had disrespected Chui Yang.

    ¡°Sir, take a look!¡±

    The bronzentern was handed over to Yang Bei by his staff, he examined it and was instantly struck dumb, he could not believe his own eyes.

    The white number disyed on the bronzentern was five thousand two hundred and neen. Furthermore, there was a number sixty eight in green, and twelve in purple!

    The two numbers that were disyed at the end represented kills of beast soldiers and beast generals.

    All of them were disyed together on the bronzentern.

    It was already shocking enough to have someone achieve such horrifying results by spending a month in the Northern Abyss, not to mention Qin Feng had only entered for not more than six hours.

    Also, how could Qin Feng achieve such results within the Northern Abyss that had restricted the use of massively powered weapons?

    Yang Bei took another look at the bronzentern for confirmation and he realized that there was nothing wrong with it.

    ¡°Mr Qin!¡± Yang Bei sounded hesitant and yet respectful as the numbers had not yet been verified as genuine. However, there were endless possibilities to it and Yang Bei was not prepared to take the wild guess.

    ¡°There is nothing wrong with this bronzentern, however, therge number would certainly bring a high number of points umted. As such, it would definitely be troublesome for me to note down such a high number, would it be possible for me to examine it further?¡±

    Qin Feng looked at Yang Bei and said, ¡°How would you like to examine further?¡±

    Yang Bei then requested, ¡°You should have all of the ultra beast materials with you, can I take a look at those materials?!¡±

    ¡°No problem!¡±

    Qin Feng did not reject the request.

    Bai Li received a nod from Qin Feng, she moved away from the crowd and stood at a spacious spot, she raised her hand and a spatial rift appeared. Then, a terrifying amount of materials began to pour out from the rift.

    Materials from C-tier ordinary ultra beasts would usually only be worth around a million. All of these materials were probably worth merely five billion in value, yet the scale of it was massive.

    Furthermore, it was difficult to imagine the number of kills to have been able to obtain such a huge amount of materials.

    Every B-tier and C-tier in the crowd were instantly struck dumb.

    Yang Bei did not even release his conscious energy as he knew that it was impossible for Qin Feng to fake points like that.

    ¡°Would this be enough?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Yang Bei immediately wiped off the sweat on his forehead and eximed, ¡°This will do! This will do!¡±

    Although Yang Bei was also a B-tier aptitude user, the amount of ultra beast materials was too overwhelming, and he unconsciously looked at Qin Feng, highly alert.

    Although he was still a C-tier, he was definitely not an easy opponent to take on.

    ¡°Let¡¯s proceed with the point registration!¡±

    ¡°Sure, right away!¡±

    ¡°Beep beep beep!¡± Qin Feng¡¯smunicator had immediately received a sum of special military points, the disy was then automatically switched to the battle exchange page that was solely owned by Beihua City.

    Qin Feng had umted more than 6,000 points in total. Any ordinary C-tier would require three months to have such an achievement, yet he was able to do it in a day, and it was an extremely huge amount of wealth!

    ¡°Oh, I did not expect the Armor of Vajrayana to be avable!¡± Qin Feng said as a glimmer shed across his eyes..

    The grand inner armor was one of the well-known God Weapon armor.

    The origin of it was unknown, however, its exorbitant defense energy would at least be ranked on the same tier as any A-tier item.

    Of course, the required exchange points were also extortionately high!

    Surprisingly, it would require a whopping 50,000 points.

    ¡°That¡¯s not much!¡±

    For Qin Feng, it was definitely a good trade!

    As soon as everything was settled, Qin Feng did not stay back any longer, he immediately activated his Sky Dweller and returned back to the hotel at Beihua City with Bai Li.

    Qin Feng brushed and cleaned himself, and as he sensed around, he noticed that the prodigy contestants that came from the Four Cities of the North Sea and those that were from the ancient warrior families were not in the next room, even Zhou Hao and Jin Fei were not there as they were practicing within the battlegod tomb.

    There were only two prodigies that were practicing in the room.

    Qin Feng kept both of them in mind and decided to continue on with his observation, if possible, he would recruit and raise them under him.

    An organization would require more than one powerful leading figure to raise and build up the grassroot members of the organization. Furthermore, Qin Feng was destined to form an organization but not lead it by himself.

    Qin Feng was like a wolf, and to be specific, he was like a werewolf! It would definitely be someone else that had to spearhead the organization.

    ***

    On the other hand, Shang Han had returned to Beihua City from a special unknown region, the thin amount of energy on the Earth was felt by her, it had caused an obscurity and she was feeling rather lost.

    From the discoveries in other regions, humans had found a highly habitable ce on the other end of the spatial rift, and it was also a perfect ce for practicing. However, it was a ce where humans would be too weak and insignificant.

    To the powerful ones, it was a ce that was much stronger than the Earth.

    However, the incredibly high amount of practice by the humans would still be meaningless if they could not preserve their home as a livable ce.

    There were too many bonds and memories that fueled the intention of the powerful ones to preserve and protect the Earth.

    However, it was still too taxing to be handled by only one person!

    Shang Han rubbed the center of her eyebrows and went ahead to activate hermunicator.

    ¡°Yuan Hao, is there anything important today?¡±

    A young man appeared in themunicator, he was a C-tier from Beihua City and he had an aim to be an incredible B-tier, of course, he was still one of the powerful figures that served under Shang Han.

    However, he held a great amount of authority as he was also serving as the Chief Secretary for Shang Han.

    ¡°Regent, there are not many movements from the ultra beast today, and for the moment, there are no death reports of aptitude users!¡±

    Shang Han nodded; the status was satisfying enough!

    ¡°However, there is something else!¡± Yuan Hao added.

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°A C-tier had entered into the Northern Abyss today and taken down more than five thousand C-tier ultra beasts in one go, beast soldiers and beast generals were also taken down, and it had only taken about five hours and forty minutes!¡±

    ¡°What? Are you sure it was a C-tier?¡± Shang Han was taken aback by the news.

    ¡°Yes, also, you might even know this person!¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡±

    ¡°ording to the information shown, his name is Qin Feng, the newly appointed governor of the Four Cities of the North Sea!¡±

    ¡°How could it be him?¡±

 Chapter 497 - Extremely Conceited

    <h4>Chapter 497: Extremely Conceited</h4>

    Shang Han was the one who had openly held the conference, and she would definitely remember Qin Feng. However, it was still surprising to her that, within the short period of time, Qin Feng had alreadye to Beihua City and showcased his mighty and matchless energy level.

    ¡°How could he be so powerful?!¡± Shang Han gasped in shock.

    Shang Han knew that Qin Feng had annihted the Grans and taken over their Floating City, however, it was only because of Qin Feng¡¯s willingness to seize the opportunity.

    If someone else had attempted earlier, the sess might have already been imed.

    Unfortunately, nobody dared to do so!

    Ever since Qin Feng had taken down the Floating City, Shang Han had even thought about Guang Wei and those B-tiers that had fought at Longchuan, they seemed to be just a bunch of trash, and even a C-tier could take care of matters that they deemed to be impossible.

    However, based on the situation, it was definitely not the case.

    Qin Feng¡¯s capability was too overwhelming.

    ¡°How did he achieve it?¡± Shang Han seemed to be mumbling to herself while Yan Hao remained silent as he also had a hard time trying to figure out the shocking incident.

    Afterall, Qin Feng and him were both C-tier aptitude users, it would be impossible for him to achieve the same results as Qin Feng.

    ¡°Do we have any video recordings?¡± Shang Han asked.

    ¡°No, we do not!¡± Yuan Hao shook his head.

    Shang Han did not dwell on it and she continued to give her order, ¡°Hmm, don¡¯t worry about that, keep an eye on this, we could still put him to good use for the Far Woond monster wave in half a month!¡±

    ¡°Affirmative, regent!¡±

    ***

    Although Qin Feng was not aware of Shang Han¡¯s idea, he had a feeling that his growing capabilities was about to surpass his A-tier capability before his rebirth.

    He was no longer afraid of encountering any B-tier aptitude users, and he was even capable of escaping from an A-tier.

    ¡°I should now prepare C-tier beast king or beast emperor cores!¡±

    Although Bai Li had yet to start consuming C-tier beast king cores and the amount required was still unknown, Qin Feng could already afford to spend any amount of money he wanted. He had moved on from his previous state of restricted spending limit.

    Afterall, Qin Feng already owned an organization that had exclusive ess to machines from the Fengli Organization, and those machines came with high amounts of profits.

    ¡°Let¡¯s explore deeper tomorrow!¡±

    Early next morning, Qin Feng led Bai Li to submit her mission and im her C-tier aptitude user badge, hence, both of them were already qualified C-tier aptitude users!

    They had also epted a series of missions to explore the movements of the Northern Abyss, they were also able to carry on with their besieging mission simultaneously. Hence, their scores were umted directly from Yang Bei.

    Time passed by swiftly and it had already been five days, Qin Feng had been spending his days in the Northern Abyss and only returned to the hotel at night.

    Meanwhile, prodigies from all major states had arrived.

    It was bustling with noise and excitement to have one hundred and sixty contestants from six major states to be there with their coaches and leaders.

    In contrast, during Qin Feng¡¯s departure, most of the families did not send out any additional manpower, surprisingly, the team from the Four Cities of the North Sea only had eleven contestants.

    They had the least amount of manpower among all, and it was perhaps because most of the families were confident in the capability of the team!

    For the other states, they only had D-tier, at most, C-tier aptitude users, and most probably, it was due to the difference in terms of status of the prodigies.

    However, would it be possible for the leaders to be more powerful than Qin Feng?

    Every duke from the Four Cities of the North Sea and the three ancient warrior families agreed that it was impossible.

    Hence, just before themencement of thepetition, contestants from the Four Cities of the North Sea were still at a rxed state.

    However, right after Qin Feng¡¯s return and entrance into the lobby, there were already conflicts that involved several groups of people.

    The restaurant of the hotel was at the first floor and the entrance was located at the left section of the lobby, which was why Qin Feng had an opportunity to be the witness.

    Furthermore, Qin Feng had seen that Jin Fei and the others were among those who were being blocked at the entrance.

    Meanwhile, the young master of the Hou family was already angered and dissatisfied. ¡°Why are we not allowed to dine in? Who do you think you are?¡±

    The person who was guarding the entrance sneered and answered, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter who I am, our young master dislikes dining with the others, all of you shall wait for him to finish before you can enter!¡±

    ¡°How dare you?!¡±

    ¡°How could you just y by your own rules? This ce is not owned by your family!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, this is too much, who would be willing to only have the leftover food from your young master?¡±

    Although it was a buffet style restaurant and technically there should not be any leftover food, the person who was guarding the entrance behaved arrogantly and seemed to imply that everyone else only deserved to have leftover food from their young master.

    Certainly, the other prodigies would despise such arrogant behavior.

    ¡°Huh, dissatisfied? For your information, our young master is the direct line of descent from the Han family of the Hanchuan state, and our master, Han Mou, is an A-tier powerful figure, do you all think that you deserve to be treated equally as our young master and dine together with him? Do you all really think that it is possible?¡±

    The crowd that was apanied by coaches that were supposed to have above average capabilities, and they wished they could just teach the D-tier a lesson for behaving so arrogantly.

    However, they were immediately stunned by the background of their opponent, they instantly stopped talking back to the person that was from the Hanchuan state!

    Obviously, the sixteen states from the northern region were also recognized differently ording to their weak and strong capabilities.

    For example, governors from the Three Cities along the Sun were holding nothing more than their titles, none of them were really passionate about their position, neither did they have the capability to hold such a position.

    They were only revered by those that were from the Three Cities along the Sun, however, those that were not from the city would only recognize them as employees.

    Meanwhile, the Four Cities of the North Sea ranked third in the list of sixteen states.

    Powerful states would often stand out from the weaker states with their abundance of resources, and their valorous leaders with powerful capabilities. Despite being situated in the northern region, the A-tier governor from the Hanchuan state had topped the list and even had close contact and frequent cooperation with Shang Han.

    The environment of the Hanchuan state was well preserved by the valorous and powerful governor that had shown immense dedication being stationed at the state. Therefore, newly raised prodigies from the state were also powerful andpetitive.

    Furthermore, the so-called young master was surprisingly the son of Han Mou!

    Everyone was instantly muted and had to contain their anger!

    It was at that moment; everyone finally had the chance to witness the appearance of the person who had just finished dining and was walking out from the restaurant.

    The crowd was even more afraid as they saw the D-tier badge on the person¡¯s chest.

    Surprisingly, it was an aptitude user who had already achieved D-tier before reaching twenty years old.

    Furthermore, an intimidating aura was also being exuded, and it resembled the presence of an ability user!

    In the northern region, a D-tier aptitude user that was under twenty years old would certainly be recognized as an outstanding prodigy!

    It was a true depiction of Hero ss.

    Han Jun walked out from the restaurant, he frowned in displeasure andined with a deep voice, ¡°What is the fuss about? Can¡¯t I just have a peaceful meal?!¡±

    The D-tier who saw Han Jun immediately went ahead to exin the situation and tried to appease him. ¡°These are just blind people that do not know who you are, please stay calm, Young Master!¡±

    Han Jun gave a cold stare and belittled everyone in the crowd.

    ¡°Just a bunch of trash!¡±

    Everyone remained silent and held on to their anger, and even the young master from the Hou family who had not been mocked in such a way had to clench his fists and suffer the embarrassment from Han Jun. It was because he did not have the capability to go up against such an opponent by himself and he could only hope for the others to take the lead.

    Unfortunately, nobody dared to do so!

    ¡°It would be great if that person were here!¡± Without realizing that he was there, the young master of the Hou family thought about Qin Feng.

    It was the young master of the Hou family who had been hinted by his sixth sense, he turned his head around and instantly saw Qin Feng and Bai Li standing at the end of the queue.

    The young master was delighted and shouted in surprise, ¡°Governor!¡±

 Chapter 498 - D-tier Talent Han Jun

    <h4>Chapter 498: D-tier Talent Han Jun</h4>

    The surprised shout had drawn the attention of the crowd toward the Hou family, meanwhile, several other young prodigies had also noticed Qin Feng¡¯s return.

    ¡°Governor, you are back!¡±

    ¡°This is great, Governor, this little brat is being too arrogant, you have to give him a lesson to remind him who is the real prodigy!¡±

    They looked at Qin Feng like he was their savior.

    Certainly, their words had definitely pushed Qin Feng under a risky spot; Han Jun looked at Qin Feng and examined his appearance, he noticed that Qin Feng was not wearing any badge on his chest, hence, he could not identify his tier.

    ¡°So-called governor? Keke, all of you seem to have faith in him?¡± Han Jun obviously doubted Qin Feng¡¯s title.

    Qin Feng did not bother to exin too, and he had already witnessed the scene that had happened earlier.

    ¡°What is so special on the menu of this restaurant? Is there anything here that is worth trying? Qin Feng looked at his own people as he knew that it was just merely conflict triggered from dissatisfaction.

    ¡°But...¡± The crowd was obviously still dissatisfied.

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°What¡¯s with the hesitation? I have heard that there is a premium restaurant at Beihua city that serves the fresh meat of B-tier beast kings, and yet, all of you are here to fight for a ce that only serves canteen meals, stop being a frog at the bottom of a well, and don¡¯t even mention that you are associated with me!¡±

    It had only taken a couple of sentences from Qin Feng to disparage Han Jun¡¯s arrogant act.

    The rude and unreasonable act to dominate the restaurant had beenbelled as a low-grade and inferior act.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, these affordable meals can never be better than the expensive dishes, why suffer when we can have better options!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, these are just merely food served by a canteen, and it tastes weird.¡±

    ¡°The treat is on me; let¡¯s all have a great meal together!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll take care of the bill too!¡±

    ¡°Haha, everyone, let¡¯s go together!¡±

    Everyone seemed to have found the perfect way to deal with their anger toward Han Jun and also avoid any direct conflict with him, everyone enjoyed the mocking and trashing as they fell back and started to belittle him.

    Qin Feng saw the reaction of the crowd and he was about to turn around and leave, and it was at that moment where Han Jun was enraged.

    ¡°Do you think you can just leave like this?¡±

    Of course, Han Jun would not allow Qin Feng to have such an easy way out, he activated his consciousness and raised a wild gust. However, he did not aim to attack Qin Feng directly, instead the gust lifted a dish tter from the restaurant and it was aimed at Qin Feng.

    Obviously, Qin Feng would not be harmed by the tter, his internal strength shield rose and blocked the tter.

    Although Qin Feng could easily control and confine the attack with his conscious energy, he did not want to expose too much of his capabilities. Hence, he had resorted to such an unexpected move!

    The tter smashed onto Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield and scattered on the ground. The metal piece fell and hit the ground with a loud ng.

    The gleeful expression on everyone¡¯s faces disappeared as they were stunned and shocked by the scene.

    Instantly, the crowd turned dead silent.

    Han Jun¡¯s voice was heard again.

    ¡°So-called governor, what¡¯s with the disrespect? It was just a little treat from me, how could you reject it? You will have to finish those by today, or else, you are not allowed to leave!¡±

    Obviously, Han Jun was trying to teach Qin Feng a lesson.

    Qin Feng sneered as he was surprised by Han Jun¡¯s lowly act.

    ¡°Young Master Han, if you enjoy it so much, you can have it all for yourself, I am not interested! Furthermore, nobody can force me to stay if I do not wish to!¡± Qin Feng sneered.

    ¡°Well, try me!¡± Han Jun was infuriated even more; he raised his hand and held up a small-size tornado!

    Qin Feng did not even bother to look, he turned around and began to leave.

    Han Jun was consumed by his wild anger, his ability exploded and he controlled the tornado into producing a sh of wind. The wind sh was whipped toward Qin Feng¡¯s back.

    Pow pow pow pow pow!

    The wind sh mmed onto the internal strength shield while horrifying energy was dispersed into the surroundings, everyone around was pushed back by the wild gale.

    Obviously, the E-tier aptitude users were incapable of withstanding the wild attack from an infuriated D-tier aptitude user.

    However, Qin Feng certainly did not fall into that category!

    Being a C-tier himself, Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield was insanely solid and the wind sh had no chance of doing any harm toward him.

    Even with Qin Feng exposing his deadliest weak point to his enemy, Han Jun had failed to do any damage from behind Qin Feng.

    It was because he could not even pierce through his opponent¡¯s internal strength shield!

    Meanwhile, the battle had drawn attention from the management of the hotel to approach and calm Han Jun down, Qin Feng and the others had already left the lobby!

    The remaining prodigies that were left being had no idea how to perceive the situation.

    Although Qin Feng had defied Han Jun, they were still unsatisfied as Han Jun should have been even more severely punished for his actions.

    ¡°Governor, why don¡¯t you just teach him a lesion, with your capability, you can definitely do it!¡± The youngster from the Hou family was obviously disagreeing with Qin Feng¡¯s approach.

    Qin Feng sneered and replied, ¡°Well, you can only rely on the others to vent out your anger.¡±

    The young master of the Hou family was instantly exposed, he immediately stomped his feet and tried to deviate the truth with his false ims. ¡°Perhaps you are afraid of his dad!¡±

    Zhou Hou instantly threw out a punch and left a ring of bruises around the eye of the young master of the Hou family.

    ¡°I have had enough of you, those words that you have just said, I bet those are intentional? So that Qin Feng will fight Han Jun, the son of an A-tier aptitude user, why don¡¯t you take on the fight yourself? Do you really think that the A-tier is a fool? What are you plotting? Do you want to trap the governor? If so, I shall just kill you!¡±

    Indeed, Qin Feng was unafraid of any A-tier, however, Qin Feng did not wish to gain any enemies to protect a bunch of people that did not deserve his protection.

    If the same case were to happen to Zhou Hao, Qin Feng would definitely go all out without any hesitation to give Han Jun a hard time so that he would regret his actions. Even though Zhou Hao was also frustrated, he was not bothered to take matters into his own hands.

    Surprisingly, the Hou family had the evil intention of setting a trap for Qin Feng so that he would be roped into a big mess!

    Qin Feng sneered, ¡°You better watch out, or else, if I were to find out any of your sly moves, you will definitely regret it!¡±

    Qin Feng was definitely not there to please and conform to someone else¡¯s n!

    However, Qin Feng kept his promise and brought everyone to a premium restaurant for a feast. Of course, there was not any B-tier beast king meat to avoid causing indigestion, only dishes of around D-tier were ordered to suit everyone, and everyone gained a significant amount of energy from the meal.

    Meanwhile, the young master of the Hou family did not enjoy any of it, he stared coldly at Qin Feng, to him, Qin Feng was afraid of Han Jun.

    Of course, his dissatisfied expression was not pleasing at all, however, the others were not bothered by it!

    After the meal, everyone returned to the hotel, and thepetition was going tomence the day after tomorrow!

    Qin Feng did not bother to have any preparation for thepetition, upon his return to the hotel, he checked on the battle for his own points.

    In the past five days, Qin Feng¡¯s points had spiked again; he had already umted 60,000 points.

    The first day of their venture into the Northern Abyss only began during noon time, and Qin Feng and Bai Li fully spent the past few days in the abyss. Naturally, it would reflect in the points he had gathered.

 Chapter 499 - The Vengeful Guang Wei

    <h4>Chapter 499: The Vengeful Guang Wei</h4>

    ¡°Redeeming Armor of Vajrayana!¡±

    ¡°Now I still have 10,000 points. I¡¯ll redeem a C-tier beast emperor core for Bai Li!¡±

    Qin Feng ced another order!

    ***

    Meanwhile, a furious voice echoed in a high-end vi in the middle of Beihua...

    ¡°Who grabbed the Armor of Vajrayana?!!¡±

    If Qin Feng were here, he would have recognized this voice. This man was Guang Wei.

    Guang Wei was punished by the Human Alliance. After his allowance was taken away, Guang Wei had not been eager in fulfilling his responsibilities at all. Naturally, Shang Han knew about this. Thus, she had totally given up on having any expectations from him and stopped giving him any missions.

    Besides, Longchuan had now been totally bombarded to nothingness by Qin Feng. Since the Grans were not showing up in the area anymore, there was no need for a B-tier to be there when the alliance rebuilt the city.

    Therefore, Guang Wei decided to return to Beihua!

    Despite not having his allowance anymore, he could still earn a living by hunting ultra beasts. Yet, due to his punishment, every hunt could only him 50% of what he had earned before. Hence, after working his ass off for half a year, he could only umte 50,000 points.

    Guang Wei did not know Qin Feng was in the city due to him heading to a different Secret Territory¡ªthe Far Woond. He had spent nearly a year trying to get the points that were necessary to redeem the Armor of Vajrayana while Qin Feng only needed a few days.

    However, due to this, Guang Wei finally knew that Qin Feng was here!

    ¡°Qin Feng? So, that brat hase to Beihua?¡±

    Reading the message that his underling sent him, Guang Wei was so pissed that he was about to lose his mind. A thick murderous intent fumed out of his cold, icy face!

    ¡°Perfect. This is just perfect! I was thinking of visiting your base and you¡¯re now here, messing with me!¡±

    Nheless, Guang Wei knew that he could not take on Qin Feng alone. Still, no matter how powerful Qin Feng was, there was no way he could handle thebined might of several B-tier aptitude users, right?

    Thus, Guang Wei activated hismunicator and started to contact some people.

    After all, Qin Feng was not some schmuck¡ªhe was a governor now, an official authority figure in the Human Alliance.

    If the Human Alliance were to find out that Qin Feng was murdered, this time it would not be just a p on the wrist for Guang Wei.

    As such, Guang Wei contacted three people in one go!

    One of them was part of the Human Alliance while the other two were from the Dark Coalition. With thetter being involved in this, if anything went awry he could always put the me on the Dark Coalition.

    It did not take long for the three people to agree to Guang Wei¡¯s plea. The guy from Human Alliance owed Guang Wei a favor while the ones from Dark Coalition were moved by the potential gain from this assassination.

    ¡°Qin Feng has a lot of goodies on him. His Burning Sword, Bai Li¡¯s Spatial Whip... and there¡¯s the Armor of Vajrayana too!¡±

    ¡°However, it is such a waste that we can¡¯t take his personal terminal. He has a lot of money in his ount!¡±

    The money he had was not just hundreds of billions now. In fact, he had a few dozen trillions in his ount. This was a massive score for any B-tier Aptitude User.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you have yourself to me for all this!¡±

    ***

    Qin Feng did not know he was now being targeted.

    In less than fifteen minutes, the items had arrived at Qin Feng¡¯s door at the hotel. He had now acquired the Armor of Vajrayana!

    Due to Earth being a total wreck right now, the dimension around the globe was quite unstable. There were a lot of ess points to different dimensions. Thus, if one were lucky enough, he could acquire all kinds of treasure on this. Other than the super advanced technologies and super ancient overpowered weapons, one could also acquire these extremely sturdy armors too.

    After being refined over and over again, the Verdant Emperor Saber had now ascended to the God Weapon tier. However, Qin Feng would not stop refining it. He wanted it to be the strongest weapon in the world.

    And this Armor of Vajrayana was a really rare armor, one that Qin Feng remembered from his past life. The armor had another name, called the ¡°Armor of Yamaraja¡±. When the wearer of the armor was under the threat of dying, the armor would morph the wearer into a ghastly state, aiding him to escape to safety.

    Of course, other than that unique property, the Armor of Vajrayana was also very sturdy. There were not many weaponries that could leave a dent on it.

    For example, with this armor on him, Qin Feng would not even need to fear anything when facing the Floating City¡¯s cannons!

    This was also why even though Guang Wei could only gain 50% of his hunts, he was still eager to keep on hunting to get his hands on the Armor of Vajrayana. This was his only counter-measure for Qin Feng¡¯s Floating City!

    ¡°Good!¡± After dripping his blood onto the Armor of Vajrayana, allowing it to recognize its master by blood, Qin Feng put on the armor. In an instant, the armor morphed and turned invisible.

    What a fascinating sight.

    As the master of the armor, Qin Feng could feel that his skin and bone were now shielded by ayer of energy that could withstand all sorts of punishment from every weapon.

    ¡°What a pleasant surprise this is!¡±

    Qin Feng knew about the armor¡¯s unique properties before he was reborn. Yet, until now, he was finally able to fully understand that the rumors about it were all true.

    ¡°Bai Li, this crystal core is for you!¡± Qin Feng handed a box to Bai Li.

    Opening the box up, Bai Li saw a crystal core that was big as a basketball in it. Not only that, the aura that was emitting from the crystal core was so powerful that it was quite difficult to breathe around it.

    However, Bai Li did not seem to be affected by it at all. She took it up in her arms and licked on it. In an instant, the core¡¯s surface started to melt. Bai Li¡¯s ability to absorb these cores was extremely powerful!

    Nheless, it was really tiring for her to hug this core andpletely lick it clean. Thus, a dark dimensional rift appeared in between Bai Li¡¯s brows and devoured the core in under a second.

    ¡°So? Aren¡¯t you ascending yet? I¡¯m hoping to know just how many more crystal cores you need.¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°I¡¯m keeping it in my consciousness so it could be absorbed over time. I¡¯ll need only a day for it to bepletely absorbed. Hmm, if I have another twenty cores like this one, I should be able to ascend!¡±

    ¡°20? No problem!¡±

    Right now, Qin Feng could acquire 10,000 points in a day. As such, this would take only twenty days for him to redeem this many cores for her. It was not a hassle.

    However, if the others knew that Qin Feng was redeeming these beast emperor cores for Bai Li to absorb, they might be so shocked that they would fall unconscious.

    This was also why many did not dare to keep these high-end contract beasts. The amount of resources needed to satisfy them was too insanely high!

    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll tag along in your hunt tomorrow!¡± Bai Li said.

    ¡°Sure, kill as many ultra beasts as you like!¡± Qin Feng said, ¡°There are just too many ultra beasts in the Northern Abyss. What a frightening ce!¡±

    Qin Feng dide to Northern Abyss before in his previous life. When he was here back then, he was already a B-tier. And despite bing a B-tier, he almost lost his life in the Northern Abyss too.

    This was not because he was weak at the time. Instead, this was due to the relentless waves of ultra beasts that were flooding toward him.

    It did not matter how much he killed... even though his kill count racked up to as much as fifty thousand ultra beasts in a day, when he ventured into the Northern Abyss the next day, there were still endless waves of ultra beasts showing up.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that there are A-tier aptitude users who died fighting in the abyss. Perhaps I should explore further to check it out!¡±

    Qin Feng made up his mind.

 Chapter 500 - They Knew Him

    <h4>Chapter 500: They Knew Him</h4>

    Qin Feng kept his word and brought Bai Li to the Northern Abyss the next day. Yang Bei was not surprised to see him again¡ªQin Feng was a loyal customer of this ce by now, and he had been doing great every time he visited the abyss. Yang Bei would, instead, find it weird if Qin Feng did note.

    ¡°Mr Qin, wee back. I¡¯ll open the gate for you!¡±

    Qin Feng was quite early today. However, there were three other people that had arrived earlier than him. Of course, Yang Bei was more than willing to open the gate for him. He was willing to zoom past those three other people and open it for Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng, Bai Li and three other people stepped into the abyss as soon as the gate was opened. Qin Feng did not know when he stepped through the gate that there was another group of men who had waited twenty minutes before going through the gate.

    This group of men was led in by Guang Wei.

    Two of these men were from the Dark Coalition. However, right now they had put on ayer of human-skin mask and activated some stealthy skills, which had fooled Yang Bei.

    Although Yang Bei was a B-tier, those two Dark Coalition men were also B-tiers. On top of that, they had Guang Wei, a renowned warrior in Beihua, apanying them. Thus, it was quite understandable for Yang Bei to not see through their disguise. Besides, Yang Bei did not know the dreaded history between Guang Wei and Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, after entering the Northern Abyss, Qin Feng and Bai Li went straight to work!

    Qin Feng was ying ultra beasts as he was walking deeper into the abyss. He was not in a rush but he was able to venture deeper into the Abyss than usual this time.

    Nheless, the ones that were tailing him had a lot of trouble thrown their way.

    After stepping through the gate, they needed to locate Qin Feng¡¯s exact location first. However, the Northern Abyss was a dangerous ce. As such, they could only rely on some small traces that were left behind by Qin Feng¡¯sbat.

    They needed to track him down and handle the ultra beasts that were attacking them.

    Still, Guang Wei was a B-tier aptitude user. As such, it did not take long for him to detect the traces that Qin Feng left behind.

    Guang Wei was a cautious man. He was also confident that Qin Feng was still weaker than him. He did not know that Qin Feng was already a whole new, different man since thest time they met.

    ¡°Hmm?¡± Qin Feng felt a sting of conscious energy from behind. It was short and brief, like a short consciousness scan when one scans the area for ultra beasts. Usually, he would think it was nothing. But this time, he had noticed the line-up from the other side.

    Everyone¡¯s conscious energy was unique. It was like their own signature. Combatants could recognize each other¡¯s conscious energy if they paid attention to them.

    ¡°Guang Wei!¡±

    Hence, Qin Feng could recognize that man¡¯s conscious energy right away.

    ¡°I¡¯m not surprised that he is in Beihua City. The only thing is, I wonder if he purposely came here?¡±

    ¡°Could it be that he¡¯s here to find me?¡±

    ¡°Heh, how interesting. If you want to tail me, I¡¯ll let you!¡±

    Guang Wei had carefully cloaked his presence using his conscious energy, thinking that he could fool Qin Feng. He did not know that Qin Feng had already noticed that they were following him!

    Not only that, Qin Feng had also recognized the men that were with Guang Wei. These men were all people that he knew. Two of them were from the Dark Coalition¡ªthey were Gu Chang and Qi Yan, the assassins who attacked Mu Jin in Mingguang City.

    After their sh with Qin Feng thest time, their powers had decreased drastically. Now, they needed a lot of cash to purchase materials that would aid in prolonging their lifespan. Thus, when they heard that Guang Wei had a big job for them, they agreed without hesitation!

    As for the other person, it was also someone that Qin Feng knew¡ªLiu Yue, Chui Yang¡¯s bodyguard! This man was an old friend of Guang Wei¡¯s, and not only that he also owed Guang Wei a huge favor. Besides, this time he heard that the target was a mere C-tier so he did not give it much thought and agreed to help him.

    They were still quite far away from Qin Feng. Due to not being ability users, they did not even have Qin Feng in their sights. As such, they did not know who their target was.

    Qin Feng let out a cold smirk.

    Qin Feng did not bother to conceal his traces now. Originally, he wanted to venture deep into the Northern Abyss but now he hadpletely forfeited that n.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go a little deeper. It would be troublesome if we have witnesses!¡±

    Hence, Qin Feng headed straight into the deeper parts of the abyss.

    Of course, Guang Wei and his goons had the same idea.

    ¡°Let¡¯s attack himter. We¡¯re still close to the walls. It would be a pain in the as* if there are other aptitude users in the area!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no rush. In fact, the deeper we go, the more ultra beasts would appear. This man would soon find it difficult to handle them and turn tail. And then, we¡¯ll jump him. He¡¯ll surely die from that!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha! You¡¯re funny. He¡¯s just a C-tier aptitude user. There¡¯s no need to be scared of him!¡±

    ¡°If he¡¯s some ordinary C-tier schmuck, I wouldn¡¯t havee asking for your help. Be cautious!¡±

    ¡°Sure! You¡¯re the boss. So, you call the shots!¡±

    Then, they walked further into the abyss for another half an hour. Now, there were no traces of other aptitude users!

    It was then, Guang Wei¡¯s eyes widened with joy.

    ¡°Quick! That brat is now facing a beast king! We¡¯ll jump him when he¡¯s handling that monster. He would die not knowing what hit him!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    All three of his goons were ancient warriors. As such, they held Guang Wei by the limbs so they could drag him to the scene quickly.

    It was just within one thousand meters. It only took three minutes for them to reach the scene. It was then, they saw a young man battling a beast king.

    It was Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not think that he would find a beast king. He wanted to lead Guang Wei further into the abyss and now this beast king was blocking his way. Might as well kill this thing too then!

    The beast king was also quite powerful¡ªit was a C3-tier, about seven meters in height and twenty meters wide. It was essentially a giant.

    Clenching his fists, Qin Feng hurled out his Fire Dragon Style. In an instant, scorching fire began to burn the ultra beasts. The heat of the fire was so high that the surrounding air was distorted!

    Guang Wei was surprised when he saw that Qin Feng was able to toy a beast king around. Was this brat not just a C-tier? How could he be able to do this?

    At the same time, a grim expression clouded the other three men¡¯s faces.

    ¡°Guang Wei, are you sure this is the man you want to kill?¡± Liu Yue stared at Qin Feng, who was taking his sweet time fighting the beast king. The man did not seem to be threatened by this beast at all!

    He had seen Qin Feng y ultra beasts before. But this was the first time seeing him killing a beast king. This Qin Feng... his powers were totally something beyond Liu Yue¡¯sprehension!

    Gu Chang and Qi Yan jumped when they saw Qin Feng too.

    ¡°Him! It¡¯s him!¡±

    They could still remember theirst fight with Qin Feng. The memory was so clear that it felt as though the fight happened only yesterday. This man was able to kill a B-tier aptitude user with ease!

    Not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s Apocalypse Bloom was like a curse to Gu Chang and Qi Yan.

    The reason they took on this job was to earn money to heal their wounds. And yet, they needed to face this overlord again?! They could almost see the road to hell paved right in front of them now!

    ¡°You know him too?¡± Guang Wei and Liu Yue looked at them curiously.

    Gu Chang let out a bitter smile. ¡°Yeah, we do know him. Just who the hell is this guy?¡±

 Chapter 501 - The Permanent Solution

    <h4>Chapter 501: The Permanent Solution</h4>

    ¡°He¡¯s just the governor of a small backwater state. He isn¡¯t a big shot!¡± Guang Wei grumbled.

    Guang Wei thought that these men were scared of Qin Feng¡¯s authority background. As such, he tried tofort them.

    More importantly, he saw that these men were hesitating. He could not have that! He could not face Qin Feng all by himself. It was too risky!

    Liu Yue smiled bitterly. ¡°Even if he has no background at all, this man is already a powerful monster!¡±

    He could still remember how Qin Feng destroyed the ultra beasts. Liu Yue knew he could not take on this man.

    Gu Chang whimpered, ¡°Look, if this is the target, I want out. I¡¯ll transfer your money back to you. All of them!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m out too. I don¡¯t want to mess with him!¡± Qi Yan opened his mouth too.

    Guang Wei stared at these men with confusion. How could they chicken out in thest minute like this?

    ¡°You are all B-tiers. How could you be afraid of someone this small? Come on, there are four of us. There¡¯s no way we can¡¯t take him down.¡±

    After hearing this, Liu Yue was still hesitant.

    Gu Chang said, ¡°We teamed up with Guang Xuangdong to take on this man before. And guess what? Guang Xuangdong was killed by him with just one hit. Both of us were heavily injured by him!¡±

    Liu Yue and Guang Wei were shocked when they heard this.

    Of course, they knew of Guang Xuangdong¡¯s death. This man was a B-tier after all. However, they would have never guessed that he was killed by Qin Feng.

    Liu Yue had made up his mind this time, ¡°Guang Wei, it¡¯s true that I owe you a favor. But this doesn¡¯t mean that I intend to repay it with my life. I¡¯m out!¡±

    Guang Wei clenched his teeth, unwilling to let go of this golden opportunity, ¡°No, I want him dead! You all can have every single treasure that¡¯s on him. That de in his hand alone is a God Weapon. And I¡¯ve got news that he has the Armor of Vajrayana on him too! You can literally earn billions... no, trillions by killing him!¡±

    ¡°Besides, he killed Guang Xuangdong. That means he has everything Guang Xuangdong had on him! He must have! I bet he did not have time to sell everything off him yet!¡±

    ¡°Reconsider this! Sure, he¡¯s strong. But that also means that he has in a lot of ultra beasts too. He has lots of treasures on him. There¡¯s nothing but benefits in killing him. Come on, there¡¯s always risk when ites to business!¡±

    Guang Wei¡¯s words were really tempting. The three men were struggling hard when they heard his proposition.

    Suddenly, a voice crept into their ears.

    ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s got a point there. Why are you hesitating?¡±

    This voice scared the crap out of the four of them. Guang Wei and his goons raised their heads and saw the man standing about twenty meters ahead of them.

    It was Qin Feng!

    The beast king was still roaring painfully from afar. Yet, it was not Qin Feng that was attacking it¡ªit was his Fire Dragon. Qin Feng was, from the start, standing near them and had heard everything they said!

    A cold smirk curved up on Qin Feng¡¯s face as a sharp murderous re beamed out of his eyes.

    ¡°Why stop? You were in a meeting, right? Go on.¡±

    All 4 of them trembled when they heard this. Gu Chang was the first to open his mouth, ¡°Mr Qin, no that¡¯s not it. I would never n to kill you. I was tricked by Guang Wei!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! I did not know the target was you! If I knew, I wouldn¡¯t havee!¡± Qi Yan cried out loudly too.

    ¡°You!!!¡± Guang Wei red at these two men furiously. These snakes! They sold him out at thest minute!

    However, Qin Feng gave them a cold scoff, ¡°You¡¯re from the Dark Coalition. I don¡¯t need reasons to kill you. Your reasons don¡¯t interest me!¡±

    Gu Chang and Qi Yan were shocked when they heard this.

    But it did not take long before they understood the situation at hand. Indeed, it did not matter why they were here. The Human Alliance and Dark Coalition were not on good terms, and thus even if they had trulye in peace, it would not have mattered at all.

    Both of them started to tremble as cold sweat rolled down their backs.

    ¡°Mr Qin... look... we apologize for the incident earlier. We were wrong. How about this? I¡¯m willing to pay a hefty sum to make amends!¡± Gu Chang started to plead for their lives.

    ¡°Oh?¡± Qin Feng raised a brow, ¡°Then pay me 1 trillion!¡±

    This was not a huge sum, really. Gu Chang and Qi Yan were B-tiers. It was not umon for D-tiers to own tens of billions under their names. Hence, it was quite usual for a C-tier to have over thousands of billions under his name.

    As for the B-tiers, this would be quite clear if one were to take a look at Guang Wei¡¯s ount. He was able to pay 4 trillion to Qin Feng forpensation. Even though it cost him quite a fortune, it was within his ability to pay that amount.

    As such, even though it would burn arge hole in their banks, Gu Chang and Qi Yan were able to pay the 1 trillion.

    ¡°Deal!¡±

    ¡°Do the transfer now!¡± Qin Feng took out hismunicator and sent them his bank ount number.

    A few minutester, Gu Chang and Qi Yan each transferred 1 trillion over to him.

    Easy money!

    A smile crept up on Qin Feng¡¯s face as he leaped onto the two men and started attacking them!

    Qin Feng was lying about letting them go. Qin Feng let these two flee thest time because he found it too much of a hassle to chase them. However, this time, he did not intend to let them go.

    Of course, he would not let Guang Wei go either!

    In just a split a second, Qin Feng had cut open Gu Chang¡¯s and Qi Yan¡¯s stomachs with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Ahhh!!¡±

    ¡°Pffff!!!!!¡±

    A fountain of blood burst out of the men¡¯s mouth as their waists were shed open. The rune armors that they were wearing were destroyed in an instant! If it were not for the armors, they would have been cut in halves!

    The two men did not die right away; but their bodies were now gravely injured. As Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy flushed through their veins, their organs were nowpletely crushed.

    ¡°Qin Feng! You... this isn¡¯t what we agreed upon!¡± Qi Yan cried out angrily.

    Qin Feng let out a cold smirk. ¡°Every trick in the book is fair y, buddy. Besides, we¡¯re in two opposing factions. If I keep my word to you, that would mean I¡¯ve betrayed the Human Alliance.¡±

    Qi Yan coughed up more blood after hearing this.

    After seeing this, Guang Wei growled out loudly, ¡°My friends, there¡¯s no means of escape now. Let¡¯s just work together and kill Qin Feng! You might still live this way!¡±

    As soon as he finished saying so, Guang Wei quickly attacked. In mere seconds, thick dark clouds started to cloak the sky before a storm of hailstones rained from above!

    Countless holes formed as the hailstones hit the ground!

    Still, Qin Feng waspletely unharmed as he zipped between the hailstones! It would be impossible for any ordinary human to do this; but Qin Feng was a man with sharp calction and powerful consciousness capabilities.

    Qin Feng activated his Fire Dragon Style and struck at Guang Wei.

    ¡°General Guang, you have been caught working together with the Dark Coalition to attack a state governor. I hereby dere that you have betrayed the Human Alliance!¡±

    Guang Wei¡¯s face turned grim when he heard this.

    He did not think that his personal vendetta against Qin Feng would be the trigger of him being treated as a traitor of the alliance.

    He had never thought of betraying the Human Alliance ever!

    Still, Qin Feng did not mind making the matter as big as possible. This was the perfect, valid excuse for him to kill off this vermin that had been in his way all these time.

    Sure, he was not scared of Guang Wei. However, the Fengli Organization was now expanding rapidly. He could not risk Guang Wei being out there and calling in favors to hurt his friends.

    It was best for him to kill him off right now and settle this once and for all!

 Chapter 502 - Steamrolling B-tiers

    <h4>Chapter 502: Steamrolling B-tiers</h4>

    Qin Feng moved quickly, his actions were a blur. Around him were all B-tiers, their consciousness control and their reactions were impable.

    Unfortunately, none of them could touch Qin Feng.

    He was too fast!

    When he reappeared, he was face to face with Guang Wei.

    Boom! He struck, mming a fist towards Guang Wei¡¯s head.

    Internal force violently flowed out, but in that instant, the ce where Guang Wei once stood was reced by a chunk of ice!

    It could even be called a small iceberg!

    Crack!

    Qin Feng¡¯s fist collided with the iceberg and immediately smashed right through it.

    The shattered ice immediately rebounded toward him, turning into spears that were going to jab into him.

    Guang Wei had already retreated!

    ¡°What are you waiting for? You want him to kill someone first before you start fighting? Guang Wei eximed.

    Gu Chang and Qi Yan nced at one another and made up their minds. They pumped internal force through their bodies to seal their wounds before stepping forward into battle.

    When two more joined in, Qin Feng¡¯s three assants formed a triangle around him.

    As for Liu Yue, he hopped 100 meters back, obviously not nning to participate in this fight between them!

    ¡°Came to die?¡±

    Qin Feng sneered and raised his hand to call upon his Fire Dragon that was 100 meters away. It rushed forward and instantly surrounded his body. The frost around him instantly began to melt, like winter giving way to sunlight.

    ¡°Together at once!¡± Guang Wei yelled, continuously mobilizing his consciousness.

    The sky turned white as countless snowkes began to fall. It was a strange sight to behold in the dark Northern Abyss.

    The aptitude users in the distance also began to take note of this scene!

    If an ability user was fighting this hard, could it be that they had encountered an ultra beast that was truly terrifying?

    Should they help?

    Some hesitated, others rushed forward to see what was going on.

    Meanwhile back at the scene, Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was extremely powerful, it was not inferior in any respect whenpared to what a B-tier aptitude user had. It could be said that he had them beat in the raw power his internal force could unleash.

    It was the end of the line for Gu Chang and Qi Yan, what Qin Feng was facing right now were merely their death throes. A desperate struggle to the death.

    He simply could not let these two win!

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was activated, his body sting out a violent gust of wind as the earth-shattering roar of a dragon filled the air. His internal force sted away all of the ice and snow that was around him.

    He quickly dashed toward Gu Chang.

    ¡°Qin Feng, taste my de!¡± A longsword appeared in Gu Chang¡¯s hands. When internal force was poured into it, it shed a bright light into Qin Feng¡¯s eyes. A sudden sh of light that would dazzle anyone nearby.

    Qin Feng remained calm, managing to close his eyes and using his consciousness to lock onto Gu Chang.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡± Qin Feng raised his hand and an incredibly bright violet light burst out.

    ¡°Aurora Burst!¡±

    Gu Chang exploded into a flurry of countless light des,pletely surrounding Qin Feng as if he was about to sh him into ribbons!

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s violet light smashed right through these des and scattered them!

    In the next moment, the Verdant Emperor Saber appeared in front of Gu Chang.

    Chunk!

    With that soft sound, Gu Chang¡¯s sword was cut in half and he was left stunned and dumbfounded.

    The remaining des of light wavered before dissipating as Gu Chang¡¯s head slid from his shoulders and rolled onto the ground like a ball!

    Gu Chang had been in!

    Qin Feng unleashed a force in his hand and a vacuum force drew Gu Chang¡¯s body into his grasp.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    A boundless internal force poured into Qin Feng¡¯s dantian.

    Now that his Dantian had expanded tenfold, it was easier to absorb internal force. Gu Chang was also a B2-tier ancient warrior and possessed tworgeke-like pools of internal force in his body. When they were absorbed into Qin Feng¡¯s body they became twenty pools of internal force.

    Although he had not condensed and consumed it, it felt like his strength had increased by a lot!

    After a few battles with two sides using powerful moves, nobody expected one side toe out unscathed and another to get their head separated from their shoulders!

    When Qi Yan saw this, his eyes widened and he immediately tried to make a run for it!

    He did not want to die!

    But this time, Qin Feng did not n on letting him go!

    ¡°Running away? Maybe if you didn¡¯t try to you would have lived longer!¡± Qin Feng said as a beam of darkness shot out from his hand.

    A Dark Ray.

    Qi Yan was seriously injured already. After getting hit by the Dark Ray, his body suddenly felt extremely weak!

    Qin Feng dragged Qi Yan to his side and pressed his palm into the lower part of his opponent¡¯s back, right where the dantian was before internal force began to gush out from it.

    Qi Yan was not as strong as Gu Chang, but he had 13 pools of internal force that were all drained away by Qin Feng.

    Qi Yan¡¯s eyes widened, feeling like he had be a crippled man.

    ¡°Uh... oh...¡± Qi Yan tried to say something, which Qin Feng thought of as him trying to ask for mercy but there was no chance for that at all.

    ¡°Impacting me!¡±

    Boom!

    Bits and pieces of what used to be Qi Yan were sent flying with the explosive force. His torso waspletely gone, leaving what hardly counted as limbs and his head that flew hundreds of meters away beforending right next to Liu Yue.

    Liu Yue felt a chill down his spine, despite the surrounding cold.

    Guang Wei frantically began to attack Qin Feng!

    But all of his attempts were useless, none of his attacks could even break through Qin Feng¡¯s internal force protection.

    One step at a time, Qin Feng began to approach.

    Now, Guang Wei felt scared.

    ¡°No. You can¡¯t kill me. That¡¯s impossible!¡±

    Guang Wei yelled as his body transformed into snow.

    Rune Shift!

    In this form, Guang Wei was invincible and could not be caught.

    Using the wind and snow around him to his advantage, he could easily escape.

    ¡°Since I can¡¯t find you, I¡¯ll burn away this blizzard!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness surged and the ground beneath him turned red.

    ¡°Terraform Magma!¡±

    This was the most terrifying form of the Magma technique!

    Every bit of ground within a few hundred meters was turned into magma. The snow that fell into the magma instantly disappeared!

    There was still a dark cloud in the air, constantly billowing as snow fell from it but it did not dare descend into the certain death that was the ground.

    Among this cloud of snowkes was definitely Guang Wei.

    ¡°Another!¡± Qin Feng mobilized the fire runes and the sky changed colors in an instant.

    The dense white clouds above suddenly turned into an unnatural red.

    As if it has started to burn.

    Then, the clouds actually began to catch fire.

    ¡°Meteor Swarm!¡±

    If Guang Wei had unleashed hail, then Qin Feng had unleashed ming meteorites.

    ¡°Aaah!¡±

    A scream rang out from the blizzard as a figure appeared.

    It was Guang Wei!

    In the blink of an eye, arge meteorite mmed into Guang Wei¡¯s chest

    ¡°Guh!¡±

    He coughed out a mouthful of blood, unable to control his body as he fell toward the magma below.

    A figure could be seen floating above the magma and arge amount of white mist appeared from where the figure was as it struggled, bobbing on the surface.

    Then, finally, all was quiet.

 Chapter 503 - Witness Testimony

    <h4>Chapter 503: Witness Testimony</h4>

    Well, it was silent save for the sound of bubbling magma that is.

    And the beast kings from before were killed off too!

    Qin Feng raised his hand and attracted a number of spatial rune equipment, ultra beast crystal cores, fur and bones toward him, and they were then pulled into his spatial rune equipment.

    ¡°I wonder what kind of treasures those three were carrying. When ites to killing, small efforts yield huge profits!¡±

    He let out a chuckle.

    That chuckle, that grin sent shivers down Liu Yue¡¯s spine.

    When Guang Wei was speaking earlier, the way he was riling things up almost made Liu Yue want to have a shot too!

    And now, he was dissuaded from how negatively the situation turned out.

    ¡°What happened? The guy who died just now was Guang Wei!¡±

    ¡°You, why did you kill Guang Wei?¡±

    ¡°Who is this guy? How dare he pull something like this in the Northern Abyss and kill Guang Wei! That man was a recognized general in the Human Alliance!¡±

    Among these people, there were a bunch of B-tiers, but there were also plenty of C-tiers and none of them dared to speak up against Qin Feng.

    However, they did not n on idling about.

    The other B-tiers were all on their guard against Qin Feng, locking onto him and waiting for the slightest misstep before they could pounce on him!

    Qin Feng seemed very calm despite his situation.

    ¡°I was hunting ultra beasts just now. General Guang Wei joined forces with two members of the Dark Coalition and tried to kill and rob me. Naturally, I¡¯m not going to let that happen. Besides, he allied himself with people from the Dark Coalition, which only consolidated his bad intentions. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve done anything wrong by killing him!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s... that¡¯s only your word¡±

    Qin Feng responded, ¡°It¡¯s not just my word, I have someone else to prove it for me!¡±

    He turned his gaze onto Liu Yue.

    Liu Yue shuddered, locked in ce.

    ¡°Looks like Elder Liu is here too!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s Liu Yue from the Cui family!¡±

    ¡°Mr. Liu, you were here just now. What happened?¡±

    As he was swarmed with questions, thoughts flickered through Liu Yue¡¯s mind.

    ¡°Think carefully about what you¡¯re going to say next, Mr. Liu!¡± An internal force transmission fell upon his ears and caused him to break out in cold sweat. He looked at his surroundings and saw seven B-tier ancient warriors. Their expressions did not change.

    None of them had heard Qin Feng.

    Was his internal force already that unfathomable?

    Liu Yue kept rolling thoughts through his mind, but he knew that he absolutely could not offend Qin Feng.

    ¡°Indeed I was here just now, but I have some doubts myself. Whether it¡¯s true or not, it will be known soon!¡±

    He pretended to be calm, then reached down to pick up the head and a piece of the shoulder of a corpse and wiped its face.

    The mask it wore fell away to reveal the head¡¯s appearance.

    ¡°That¡¯s Qi Yan!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s the Dark Coalition¡¯s Qi Yan! Though he looks a bit older than before!¡±

    ¡°They said that Qi Yan got injured when he fought against Mu Jin earlier! So it was true!¡±

    Everyone had something to say, but they all recognized Qi Yan when they saw the head.

    ¡°Previously, I entered the Northern Abyss with Guang Wei and met these two mysterious folks, which was why I followed them. I didn¡¯t expect them to attack Governor Qin, and I originally wanted to help but now that the governor is safe there shouldn¡¯t be any trouble!¡±

    Liu Yue had taken up a polite tone, even using the title of ¡®Governor¡¯.

    At this moment, the others began to regard Qin Feng in a different light.

    This kid was a governor!

    Why had they not heard of him?

    Maybe he was the governor of some backwater state, otherwise, how could he be C-tier?

    With this revtion, this matter was not something they could take care of.

    One was a general and the other a governor. They were both members of the Human Alliance¡¯s management. What they did not understand was how a C-tier could have taken on and taken down three B-tiers.

    Just what was this kid¡¯s secret?

    The people who could not figure out what happened ended up saying, ¡°It¡¯s a misunderstanding, Governor Qin!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Governor Qin was also a victim! What a disaster!¡±

    ¡°General Guang Wei...I can¡¯t believe it!¡±

    As everyone spoke, they have all made up their minds.

    Among them were a few people who were there when they casted their votes in the Consciousness Realm. They were all C-tiers and they did not dare speak out.

    But at the end of it all, it was not what happened that was important. After all, it was only the result that mattered.

    Qin Feng was alive, while Guang Wei was dead.

    ¡°Since there¡¯s nothing wrong, then you should all leave!¡± Liu Yue wanted to turn big problems into small problems, then small problems into nothing at all.

    Although some still had doubts, none of the people present were allied with Guang Wei so they all left!

    Soon, only Qin Feng and Liu Yue were left!

    Liu Yue felt that his throat was dry and had cold sweat dripping down his face. He was left alone with Qin Feng when he should have left with the others!

    ¡°Well said, Mr. Liu. Remember to repeat what you said here when someone from the Human Alliancees to investigate!¡±

    There was a mild threat in Qin Feng¡¯s tone.

    Qin Feng did not really want to kill someone to shut them up and Liu Yue did not hold any grudges against him. Neither would Qin Feng be so merciless.

    Liu Yue heaved a sigh of relief at Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    ¡°Thank you Governor Qin, rest assured I know what to do!¡±

    ¡°Right!¡± Qin Feng nodded.

    Liu Yue was still a little worried and exined, ¡°I was deceived by Guang Wei, truly. I didn¡¯t know that you were the person he wanted to kill. Otherwise I wouldn¡¯t havee here, you have to believe me, Governor Qin!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter anymore. I didn¡¯t kill you now and I won¡¯t kill you in the future!¡±

    ¡°Ah, thank you, Governor Qin!¡± Liu Yue felt extremely grateful, but deep down he only felt an unmeasurable fear for Qin Feng.

    This was a person who killed as easily as he could write, someone who did not really care about people¡¯s lives!

    Originally, he thought that Qin Feng was slightly stronger. Now, he told himself he had to go back and run a background check on this person. When the time came, he did not want to offend this dragon.

    ¡°You can go now!¡±

    ¡°Of course, of course!¡±

    Liu Yue scurried off and went back to look up on information about Qin Feng. What he found shocked him.

    ¡°The Floating City that killed the master is now in his hands...¡±

    Liu Yue felt a wave of anxiety wash over him and he decided to send a voice message to Cui Yang.

    ¡°Young Master, I found the aptitude user we met before. He¡¯s called Qin Feng. Young Master, we shouldn¡¯t provoke him. He killed Guang Wei today...¡±

    The news had already reached Shang Han¡¯s office before Liu Yue had even started doing his background check!

    Qin Feng was still in the Northern Abyss, continuing to further explore its depths.

    More powerful ultra beasts started to appear, soon more beast kings and even beast emperors began to appear!

 Chapter 504 - Puppet Beast Army

    <h4>Chapter 504: Puppet Beast Army</h4>

    Qin Feng went on to have an exhrating rampage, but about an hourter hismunicator started to beep.

    It was from a number he did not recognize, but the number began with 000. That could only be a public line from the Human Alliance.

    He naturally epted the call.

    On the opposite end of the call was a handsome young man with a C-tier badge on his chest!

    ¡°Hello Qin Feng. I am Shang Han¡¯s secretary, Yuan Hao!¡±

    Qin Feng narrowed his eyes the moment he saw who he was speaking to. This man was the mouthpiece for Shang Han¡¯s external affairs.

    ¡°Hello Secretary Yuan! What¡¯s up?¡±

    ¡°Yes Governor Qin, Regent Shang has made an appointment to meet with you at 3 o¡¯clock this afternoon!¡±

    That was not surprising. Shang Han would have received news about Guang Wei¡¯s death by now. It would have been strange if he were not contacted.

    He just did not expect a face to face meeting.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll note that down!¡±

    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll see you this afternoon!¡±

    ¡°See you this afternoon!¡±

    The two did not drag on the call and promptly hung up, but Qin Feng was not aware that Yuan Hao called Shang Han¡¯s number right after the call ended to report his findings.

    ¡°Regent, Qin Feng is still in the Northern Abyss. I¡¯ve just contacted him, and during our call I saw that he might have been fighting the beast emperors in the deeper parts of the Northern Abyss!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    Shang Han¡¯s voice suddenly rose up, unable to control her surprise.

    While a D-tier beast emperor could be killed by a hunting party led by a C-tier, such a thing was impossible in the Northern Abyss. It was not a ce where weapons of mass destruction could be used and there was no way to ambush the ultra beasts. If one wanted to hunt down a C-tier beast emperor, they would need a team of more than five B-tiers to do so.

    Even then, lives would still be at stake and the more people that went, the less profitable the turnout would be.

    That was why the beast emperors of the Northern Abyss would be taken on by the A-tiers instead.

    Where there was a C-tier beast emperor, there would be B-tier ultra beasts. That was how Shang Han¡¯s father died deep in the abyss.

    She did not expect Qin Feng to be so bold and powerful.

    After going through the original content of the negotiation, she decided that she would have to change it.

    Qin Feng was not someone that would yield to force!

    ***

    In the Northern Abyss, Qin Feng loaded the massive carcass of the ultra beast into his spatial rune equipment.

    ¡°This ce is close to the B-tier ultra beast territories. I¡¯ve never been here before my rebirth.¡±

    After all, Qin Feng would have been stationed at the international border at this time.

    ¡°Let¡¯s have a look!¡±

    Qin Feng expanded his dantian and his consciousness, his internal force was strong and that meant that he had all the more reason to feel confident about himself.

    B-tier ultra beasts gradually began to appear and Qin Feng started to approach with caution.

    ¡°Dark Ray!¡±

    A bolt of darkness crashed into the body of an iing B-tier ultra beast, making it lethargic. Qin Feng could feel that there was an even greater energy transfer than before.

    This was several times stronger than a C-tier ultra beast.

    Upon realizing this, he heartily charged into battle with relentless attacks. Within ten minutes, the beast had died in his hands.

    The speed obviously did not satisfy him.

    Thinking for a moment, his consciousness was mobilized.

    Some special runes fell onto the ultra beast¡¯s body that was on the ground.

    In an instant, the B-tier ultra beast shuddered and came back to life.

    A Corpse Puppet.

    Qin Feng always had the ability to control corpses, but he had never used it before. After all, he could kill most ultra beasts with his own hands.

    However, in order to explore the deeper parts of the Northern Abyss, only A-tiers could have been able to take on the B-tier ultra beasts here. Qin Feng being able toe here on his own was already a powerful feat.

    It was still a good way to go to look for a few things to turn into puppets, just in case!

    Soon, Qin Feng set out toplete the task he gave himself and started fighting B-tier ultra beasts with the intention of turning them into Corpse Puppets.

    His army gradually expanded, going from single digits to eventually double digits.

    B-tier ultra beasts were not small. Even twenty of them could have been considered as a massive team!

    ¡°Hahwooo!¡± A B-tier wolf-like ultra beast appeared. When it saw the rotting ultra beast corpses, it lunged forward, mouth slobbering at the ripe scent of rotting flesh.

    Only now, the tables had turned.

    Qin Feng manipted the bodies to surround the wolf-like ultra beast. The creatures that advanced did not fear death and knew no pain. Rushing forward all fangs and ws, biting and scratching.

    The wolf-like ultra beast let out a yelp as its flesh was torn and its blood misted the air. In the blink of an eye, it had been eaten by the other ultra beasts!

    Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability shrouded the wolf-like ultra beast and added it to his army of puppets.

    The time spent had been greatly reduced!

    After absorbing the energy from the ultra beast, Qin Feng felt that his physical form had grown in power again.

    ¡°Carry on!¡±

    The way Qin Feng controlled these ultra beasts was far beyond the skills of even the most talented beastmasters. As his numbers grew, he found himself having to almost walk sideways through the Northern Abyss.

    A few hourster, when he checked the time, he learned that it was almost 2 o¡¯clock in the afternoon!

    ¡°I think I¡¯ll stop here for today!¡± Qin Feng thought, then killed the rotting ultra beasts and pulled out the energy cores. It was a shame that the flesh and blood of these ultra beasts were too rotten to be salvageable!

    However, they still gave him energy on their second death. At this moment, Qin Feng¡¯s strength skyrocketed again!

    C1-tier!

    It had only been seven days since Qin Feng came to the Northern Abyss, such a rate of growth was indeed very fast!

    Once he was satisfied, he called Bai Li via his consciousness.

    ¡°I¡¯m ready to go back!¡±

    ¡°On my way!¡± As soon as Bai Li¡¯s consciousness responded back, she was already by his side. The two then reappeared outside of the gate. Without waiting for other people to enter, Qin Feng contacted Yang Bei.

    ¡°Wow, why are you so early today Mr. Qin?¡±

    The news about Qin Feng killing Guang Wei had not reached Yang Bei yet, neither did he know that Qin Feng was summoned by Shang Han.

    ¡°Well, something happened!¡± Qin Feng said but did not exin any further as he handed the bronzentern to Yang Bei.

    Yang Bei had recorded down Qin Feng¡¯s numbers before. He would not be phased by Qin Feng¡¯s daily points, but today, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

    There were extra words on thebel in addition to the points that he had seen before. The numbers marked on it were the amount of B-tier ultra beasts that he had hunted.

    Qin Feng had actually started hunting B-tier ultra beasts!

    The numbers were not as much as his previous kills, but it definitely was not something to overlook when the numbers were around 300!

    A B-tier ultra beast gave points that were a hundred times more than a C-tier ultra beast¡¯s!

    Qin Feng¡¯s points today were the same as the points he got yesterday.

    Not only that, Bai Li handed in her ownntern and also gained up to 10 thousand points. The way that they were gaining their wealth was terrifying to behold.

    Qin Feng did not have any family or any kind of background. He was not burdened by anything and that meant that the rewards he received were exclusively for himself.

    After earning 60 million points today, Qin Feng exchanged them for six C-tier beast emperor crystal cores!

    It was a shame that he had to participate in thepetition tomorrow, that meant that he could note back. For Qin Feng the rank-up addict, that was basically a slow burning torture!

 Chapter 505 - Meeting With Shang Han

    Chapter 505: Meeting With Shang Han

    Returning to Beihua City did not take much time, and Qin Feng retreated back to the hotel so that he could wash off the stink of rotting corpses that clung onto him.

    No matter how much he cleaned, the continuous killing had naturally caused a stink of blood in the air that lingered around him.

    The amount of ultra beasts he had killed recently was just too much.

    ¡°You should wait here, I¡¯ll go meet Shang Han. She¡¯s an A-tier aptitude user, I¡¯m afraid she might know what you are!¡± Qin Feng said to Bai Li.

    ¡°Then go, I¡¯ll stay in the hotel and practice!¡± Once Bai Li had her hands on a C-tier beast emperor core, it was difficult to keep her away from it.

    ¡°Okay, wait for my return!¡±

    ¡°Mhmm!¡±

    After saying goodbye, Qin Feng headed toward the city¡¯s center and arrived at the Human Alliance¡¯s office lobby.

    When he reported himself to the front desk, he was told to go up to the 66th floor.

    Soon, Qin Feng was face to face with Shang Han.

    Shang Han was a woman in her forties, but due to her practice of ancient martial arts her internal force was extremely pure and the pools in her dantian had reached a point where it could bepared to the sea.

    As such, Shang Han had the appearance of a woman in her twenties. She had an ordinary appearance but the air about her was definitely one of the most extraordinary things Qin Feng had ever felt, other than Bai Li¡¯s of course.

    After all, it was an A-tier aptitude user!

    ¡°Greetings, Governor Qin!¡±

    ¡°Hello, Regent Shang!¡±

    The two politely shook hands before Qin Feng was directed to sit down.

    Shang Han had a grim look on her face, the best she gave Qin Feng was a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth that could have passed as a smile.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard the news. What the hell happened, what happened with Guang Wei?¡± Shang Han wasted no time in her questioning

    Qin Feng replied, ¡°Since you have already received the news, then you ought to know what happened then Regent Shang. I don¡¯t have anything new to exin!¡±

    Shang Han naturally understood what happened, she had already sought out and gotten her answers from Liu Yue.

    Liu Yue would not dare lie to Shang Han! He even told Shang Han about Guang Wei¡¯s murderous ns.

    The subject about Guang Wei was truly irrelevant.

    ¡°With your strength, Guang Wei was no match for you. So what if you killed two people from the Dark Coalition, but what¡¯s the deal with killing Guang Wei?¡±

    ¡°Guang Wei was the one who wanted to kill me, should I not be fighting back? If he wants to kill me, then naturally I¡¯ll kill him in self defense! Regent Shang, I¡¯ve already gone to the Dark Coalition before. Does the Human Alliance intend on making me do it again?¡±

    ¡°Can¡¯t you see the bigger picture?¡±

    ¡°Oh? At this point, you can always try having a chat with Guang Wei¡¯s ghost!¡±

    Shang Han learned that Qin Feng did not intend on being cowed, nor would he feel as if he had done something wrong.

    After all, Qin Feng had already told the situation about Guang Wei and the Dark Coalition to the rest of the world!

    Besides, dead men told no tales.

    ¡°Fine, I won¡¯t ask about Guang Wei¡¯s death anymore. Let¡¯s talk about something else!¡± Shang Han said with a serious tone.

    ¡°Sure!¡± This was the original reason why Shang Han asked for Qin Feng, but he had no idea what Shang Han intended to do with him.

    ¡°Guang Wei was a general and naturally had his own army. There are at least 20 C-tiers and 500 D-tiers under hismand. A strong force that now has no one to lead them after Guang Wei¡¯s death. Since you¡¯ve proven that you¡¯re strong enough to take down Guang Wei, then you should be able to deal with these people. They are in your hands now!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned, his brows furrowing.

    He was not keen on taking on more subordinates, especially not those whose loyalties might still lie with the man who tried to kill him.

    Then he had another idea. If he could subjugate these people, then he could still stay in Mingguang City and throw caution into the wind!

    As for whether or not these troops would leave, that would be up to them. It had nothing to do with Qin Feng!

    ¡°Sure!¡±

    ¡°The legion used to be called the Guang Wei Legion. You can change that nameter if you wish, but once this legion has been handed to you the industrial portions of it would be taken back by the Human Alliance. This is something that you can¡¯t refute!¡±

    Legions and industries went hand in hand. It would be impossible if it were only the Human Alliance that was supporting the legions.

    ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be a problem!¡± Qin Feng did not need the money, not to mention he had already drained Guang Wei of all his assets after thatpensation of 4 trillion!

    All of the properties the legion might have had would have been mortgaged long ago!

    ¡°There¡¯s more. It is predicted that a beast wave is going to happen in about a week from now, in the distant forest that¡¯s west of Beihua City where spatial rifts frequently ur. This task was originally Guang Wei¡¯s but it¡¯s yours now!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡± Qin Feng agreed again. When he came to Beihua City, he never once experienced an iing beast wave. If it were something to be worried about then it would be a terrifying enough beast wave that he could devour more energy from.

    Shang Han was taken aback when she heard Qin Feng¡¯s blunt answers. She expected him to shirk these duties!

    To think about it, Qin Feng probably did not care if he brought Guang Wei¡¯s Legion into that forest. He was not under any threat, that meant that he would not care.

    Shang Han then added, ¡°And remember to control the amount of casualties!¡±

    Qin Feng was stunned but he did not make any excuses and promptly responded.

    Other than Qin Feng¡¯s difficult attitude at the beginning, the rest of the talk went smoothly and Shang Han found herself pleased with his attitude.

    Geniuses were always rebellious, but that kind of pettiness could be used. She did not care much about it.

    Shang Han¡¯s time was precious. She let Qin Feng go as soon as their meeting was over. Qin Feng did not stick around and immediately returned to the hotel.

    Unexpectedly, he ran into a person he had previously met before. Han Jun.

    Han Jun red at Qin Feng with contempt. Previously Qin Feng had said some words to him that stopped him from backing down, which meant that he did not want to see him!

    ¡°Governor was it? Thepetition is tomorrow, I hope you end up drawing me. Then I can show you who truly is the strong one!¡±

    Qin Feng nced at him and said, ¡°We¡¯ll see.¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Han Jun sneered and turned away to leave.

    When Qin Feng returned to his room, he called Zhou Hao and Jin Fei to him.

    ¡°So, what¡¯s the recent progress on you two ranking up?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Zhou Hao spoke up with excitement, ¡°My dantian has doubled and the rate of my internal force absorption is much faster. The most important thing is that after my dantian has been erged, I can contain more energy. If I reach E9 tier then I should be able to hold up to 20 pockets of gaseous internal force, so it¡¯d be easier to condense that into a more liquid state!¡±

    ¡°How manyyers now?¡±

    ¡°Seven!¡± Sevenyers were the equivalent of an E7 ancient warrior, not bad.

    ¡°What about Jin Fei?¡±

    ¡°I have nineyers!¡± Jin Fei said.

    ¡°Very good! So long as you don¡¯t meet a D-tier during thepetition, you should be fine with nineyers!¡±

    Before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, Jin Fei was a genius. Now, he left the City of Death, spending a few years less there and had the resources to cultivate his skills.

    His future potential was huge!

    Jin Fei had more natural talent that Zhou Hao did.

    ¡°I will definitely get a ce!¡± Jin Fei immediately said.

 Chapter 506 - Thatâ€™s Completely Unreasonable

    <h4>Chapter 506: That¡¯s Completely Unreasonable</h4>

    Zhou Hao was slightly nervous as he said, ¡°Thispetition doesn¡¯t allow the use of contract beasts, otherwise I would definitely win!¡±

    ¡°Such a thing definitely wouldn¡¯t be allowed, but we won¡¯t need to worry about that once we reach Dragon Capital!¡±

    Whether it was arms and armor of an aptitude user or their contract ultra beast, they were an extension of the aptitude user¡¯s strength.

    In Dragon Capital, those were not prohibited, and by then thepetition was not just any otherpetition.

    In Beihua City, Shang Han would select the talented ones for training and guidance before sending them to Dragon Capital. If they were lucky, they might even be rewarded by Shang Han.

    Not to mention, a set of E-tier or D-tier silver light rune equipment was indispensable.

    However, so long as Qin Feng was around, when Zhou Hao and Jin Fei had reached D-tier, he would start taking out his beast emperor materials and prepare gold light rune equipment for both of them.

    ¡°In any case, give it everything you have. I hope you two can get a ce each!¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Zhou Hao and Jin Fei both nodded their heads.

    After that, Qin Feng began to train those two in their ancient martial arts, pointing out the ws in their techniques as time quickly ticked away.

    ***

    The next morning, everyone arrived at Beihua City¡¯srgestbat arena via the hovercraft that was arranged for them.

    The ce was already packed by then!

    Even in Beihua City, there were plenty of strong people there along with the addition of the multitude of lower tier aptitude users from the other cities.

    The crowd was simply too much!

    It was all E and D-tiers!

    But most of these people were adults, those who were graded in the Talent ss by the arena system often had quicker cultivation speed in addition to being more powerful.

    Those in the Talent ss could single-handedly challenge ultra beast generals and those graded in the Hero ss could challenge beast kings!

    At the same time, they would be invincible in the face of any adversary and had the confidence to face any foe, be it only one or hundreds!

    This was what it meant to be in the Talent ss!

    As such, among these people there would be those who were worth observing and benefitting from.

    The stands were filled with these kinds of people, there were no empty seats!

    These people were strong and their gazes were all on the contestants like searing spotlights. After all, their consciousness and perception were strong.

    The people of Beihua state started to feel anxious.

    Naturally, the opening scene of the tournament was thepetitor line-up.

    People from every state walked with their banners raised high the moment the host introduced them before passing through the entrance and walking to the contestant¡¯s stand.

    ¡°The first state to appear today would be the state of Hanchuan!¡±

    A C-tier aptitude user led the iing with arge g raised over their head. The g bore a pair of attention-dominating words that read ¡®Hanchuan¡¯!

    Not only that, the host naturally gave Han Jun a special introduction.

    ¡°There¡¯s a rising staring from Hanchuan, no more than 20 years old and he¡¯s already D-tier. Here he is folks, Han Jun!¡±

    The audience was awestruck!

    ¡°This kind of genius definitely would get into Dragon Capital!¡±

    ¡°Of course! There¡¯s high hopes for a D-tier!¡±

    ¡°Hey, that¡¯s pretty good!¡±

    The host continued with the introductions. There were three other D-tiers ahead of them, including Han Jun.

    One was Du Wa from the Xingmang state and another was Lee Wangshen from the Chongyuan state.

    The Four Cities on the North Sea had be the North Sea state after the new Fengli City had been established. That meant that the North Sea no longer had only four cities.

    ¡°Next up we have the Talents from the North State state!¡±

    Qin Feng and the rest appeared.

    The one holding the banner in front of them was Bai Li.

    She looked very young, if it were not for the fact that she had a C-tier badge on her chest people would have mistaken her for a contestant.

    What was more was that her appearance startled many. A devastating, overwhelming beauty that made people forget to breathe. Even when the North Sea state¡¯s contestants were all seen there was a moment of silence that filled the arena.

    What followed was a great uproar.

    ¡°Who, who is that? She¡¯s... she¡¯s so pretty!¡±

    ¡°A goddess, and a C-tier too? She¡¯s an aptitude user from the North Sea? That state¡¯s supposedly the second tost in strength but how could there be someone like that from there!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m going to the North Sea in the future!¡±

    At that moment, many people wanted to join the North Sea because of Bai Li¡¯s appearance.

    Qin Feng¡¯s ears picked up on the words that were tangled into a rowdy cacophony around him and his expression became gloomy. Should have known not to use Bai Li as their representative!

    But he only had 11 people in total. If he did not ask Bai Li, then who would he ask?

    The B-tiers in the stands were also shocked as they looked at each other.

    ¡°That woman looks familiar!¡±

    ¡°Uh, no duh? How can you forget a face like that? She¡¯s Qin Feng¡¯s girlfriend, the guy who hunted down a hundred thousand ultra beasts in the Northern Abyss!¡±

    One person suddenly spoke up and pointed toward the arena, ¡°Wait. Look at the North Sea team. See the guy in the middle? Is that Qin Feng?¡±

    The surrounding B-tiers shifted their attention and found Qin Feng.

    Bai Li¡¯s cement was a strategic masterpiece. Her appearance was too distracting, that was why they did not pay attention to Qin Feng!

    They were all taken aback the moment they saw him!

    Qin Feng did not have an aptitude user¡¯s badge. Even when he was out hunting ultra beasts in the wild, he did not have on a badge. People eventually knew that it was just a habit of his.

    They had originally believed that he did not want to wear the badge because the C-tier badge was not worthy of his strength.

    But now it seemed that he was basically a wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing.

    ¡°Hey. How can someone who can kill a B-tier participate in the Prodigy Tournament?¡±

    That¡¯s... isn¡¯t thatpletely unreasonable?

    ¡°More importantly, shouldn¡¯t it be that he¡¯s not more than 20 years old?¡±

    Everyone was silent for a moment.

    Although they could not detect how old a person was and Qin Feng did not look that old, he was tall and had a stoic face. If someone were to say that he was seventeen nobody would have believed it!

    Until now...

    The truth, the naked truth was right in front of them!

    And the truth was terrifying!

    Among the stands, whether it was Mu Jin or Liu Yue, these two people who had a previous close encounter with Qin Feng could not believe their eyes.

    ¡°President Qin. He... he actually came to participate in a children¡¯s tournament? Could it be... He¡¯s less than twenty years old, for real?¡± Mu Jin recalled the moment where Qin Feng unleashed the Apocalypse Bloom and destroyed the B-tier ability user he fought as a chill went down his spine.

    ¡°Gulp!¡± Cui Yang swallowed hard and said, ¡°Uncle Liu, thank you for telling me not to mess with Qin Feng. That person really is terrifying!¡±

    It might not be a very big deal now, but in approximately two years¡¯ time Qin Feng might have reached A-tier by then.

    Cui Yang was worried that he would suffer in the future after he had offended Qin Feng.

    ¡°I just hope he¡¯d forget about me when he gets older and leave me alone!¡± Cui Yang prayed quietly.

    Liu Yue could only nod in agreement.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng naturally did not know what these people were thinking but he felt that there were many eyes peering at him from some high-level VIP seats in the stands.

    He raised his head to scan the windowed VIP viewing room and soon the peering eyes immediately withdrew!

    Qin Feng did not care and took the people of the North Sea to the waiting rooms.

 Chapter 507 - Man versus Boy

    <h4>Chapter 507: Man versus Boy</h4>

    Thepetitionmenced quickly.

    Among the 160 teenagers, not everyone was like Han Jun, who had a father that was an A-tier aptitude user.

    Most did not even believe they could ever make it to the Dragon Capital in their lifetime.

    ¡°I must do my best so that people would notice me!¡±

    ¡°Regent Shang is not here yet. I hope I canst until theter stages.¡±

    ¡°There is no other way aside from winning. It¡¯s my only chance to obtain more resources.¡±

    All the teenage contestants began to tense up.

    Yet some were here only for the sake of participation. For instance, the contestantsing from the Three Cities along the Sun. Other than three E-tiers, the others in the team were mostly ipetent F8 and F9 tiers. One of the three E tiers was Lu Meng, who was recruitedst minute to represent the Sun state after she was defeated in the North Sea qualification trial.

    Finally, thest state that always finished at the bottom three along with the Sun and the North Sea was known as Xueyuan. This state was situated near the north pole and was covered in freezing snow all year. There were only tworge cities in this state with underwhelming resources.

    The contestants from Xueyuan were all E-tier aptitude users. However, none of them was E3-tier or above. Their overall strength was not as great as the current North Sea team but they were queued in front due to better standingst year.

    ¡°What¡¯s the deal with the North Sea state this year? Has someone risen among the Ancient Warrior families there?¡±

    Knowing your enemy was the first key to victory. Everyone was gathering intel to understand theirpetitor better.

    Most importantly, it was extremely peculiar that there was suddenly a C-tier captain in one of the bottom three teams. That caught everyone by surprise.

    C-tier in a less developed state like the North Sea was an overpowering existence. More than half of the teams that took part in this tournament were led by D-tier captains.

    Suddenly, everyone had their attention on the North Sea state. Some regretted not researching Qin Feng earlier.

    The resource owned by a C-tier should never be taken lightly.

    Nevertheless, if they learned the truth about Qin Feng, they would most likely be in despair.

    ¡°The tournament begins now!¡±

    There were eighty matches set for the first day. One matchsted about an hour and ten matches would be held simultaneously. It would take four hours on each half of the day for all battles to be concluded.

    Five minutes before the first round, the list of the first twenty contestants was unveiled. Participants from the same state usually would not meet on the first day.

    ¡°Oh, I am one of the first twenty? Alright then.¡± Qin Feng moved to his arena as shown.

    Another person walked up to the stage at the same time as Qin Feng. His opponent was slightly older than him. Most teenagers in this tournament were one or two years older than Qin Feng, but that was only on the surface.

    Deep down, Qin Feng was already a well-grown man.

    ¡°North Sea?¡± The person saw Qin Feng¡¯s uniform and immediately felt rxed. He said cheerfully, ¡°How lucky! I will have a good rest after beating you. I can save my best for the second round tomorrow.¡±

    Qin Feng was amused. ¡°Sure. Have a good restter.¡± The question was whether he could do it on his hotel room bed or on a hospital bed.

    The opponent thought that Qin Feng had admitted defeat and could not be more at ease.

    Still, he was intrigued and asked, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you wearing your badge?¡±

    Qin Feng did not answer the question and the countdown had already begun.

    ¡°Oh, I figured it out. Don¡¯t tell me you are an F-tier aptitude user? That must be the reason why you are embarrassed to put on your badge. There is nothing to be ashamed of. Look at those idiots from the Sun cities. They don¡¯t mind showing their badge even though they are just a bunch of losers. You should learn from them!¡± The person babbled incessantly and did not realize that Qin Feng¡¯s demeanor had turned stone cold.

    Though he did not represent the Sun state, that ce was still his birthce.

    A person could never choose his parents and where he or she was born. ming one¡¯s failure on his or her growing environment was an act of cowardice.

    A hero would never sumb to an unfortunate childhood.

    Gong!

    The sound of the bell signaled the start of the battle.

    ¡°Alright, kid. I will give you a chance to strike first. It must be hard on you toe this far if you don¡¯t even get a chance to prove yourself. I am giving you an opportunity now.¡±

    ¡°Thanks!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°No problem... Ah!!!¡± The person suddenly shrieked in horror. Qin Feng made his move when he was still talking.

    Qin Feng did not use any mind-boggling skill. He just casually raised his hand and unleashed Dragon m.

    Even though he was only using a tiny fraction of his true power, Qin Feng¡¯s excellent motor control and great inner strength still made the attack look unstoppable.

    Qin Feng¡¯s opponent was a prodigy too. He could at least tell that Qin Feng¡¯s attack was extremely dangerous.

    ¡°Ah!!! Hold it!!!¡± The guy used every ounce of energy he had but since he was only an E-tier, he could not even muster a proper internal force shield.

    Qin Feng¡¯s attack came too suddenly and was more powerful than he had expected. He was unable to withstand the attack and was mmed down hard on the stage.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    The teenager puked out blood and passed out on the stage with multiple open wounds. He could no longer continue!

    The umpire at the side of the covered arena was stunned and only began to countdown a few secondster.

    ¡°10, 9, ...¡±

    The prodigy would lose if he did not get up now! But he could hardly focus as the immense pain had drained everyst drop of energy away from him.

    ¡°This is impossible. I am a prodigy... Why? You... You purposely concealed your tier!¡±

    Qin Fengughed it off. ¡°I never admitted that I am an F-tier.¡±

    The prodigy was deeply frustrated.

    ¡°By the way, don¡¯t talk too much the next time you are facing a beast. You would have been long eaten!¡±

    A prodigy that had been well protected their entire life was extremely fragile in real-life battles.

    The countdown ended without any surprise.

    ¡°Qin Feng, win. He will advance into the next round!¡±

    Qin Feng won easily and walked down the stage. Most of the audience were baffled by how quick the battle ended. But their focus was quickly swayed to other matches that were still currently ongoing.

    Only those B-tiers that had paid attention were astounded.

    ¡°This is humiliating!¡±

    ¡°They are not at the same level!¡±

    ¡°He is bullying the poor guy in broad daylight!¡±

    ¡°Should we tell the regent?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s alright. Let¡¯s see what else he is capable of.¡±

    ¡°What are the odds if I bet on Qin Feng to win the tournament now?¡±

    The betting on any given game might not be very rewarding but betting on who would be the champion on the first day might provide a handsome return. The opening odds for any contestant on the first day was 1:64.

    Some B-tier aptitude users were enthused and secretly ced their bets on Qin Feng.

 Chapter 508 - Outrageous Bet

    <h4>Chapter 508: Outrageous Bet</h4>

    ¡°So if I bet 1 trillion, I will get 64 trillion in return?! That¡¯s insane! Anyway, since the bookmarker agency is directly under the regent, it¡¯s better not to make such a huge bet.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think the regent will mind if I bet 100 billion.¡±

    ¡°I will bet 100 billion too.¡±

    One hundred billion might be considered a small bet for a B-tier. Most of them were rich and those who hunted regrly at the Northern Abyss knew Qin Feng was the real deal.

    So when numerous B-tiers bet on Qin Feng at the same time, the money had snowballed into a total of 10 trillion. The bookmarker would need to pay out 640 trillion if Qin Feng did win the tournament in the end.

    It was an amount not even Shang Han could afford.

    The manager of the arena was baffled when he saw the outrageous betting amount. ¡°This is weird. The ones who made a bet were all B-tiers. Do they know something that I don¡¯t?¡± It¡¯s not odd for a B-tier to bet that kind of money. But why on earth were they all betting on the same contestant?

    ¡°Check out this Qin Feng from the North Sea, now!¡±

    However, the manager was unable to gather any relevant information after some B-tier users purposely shut down the news regarding Qin Feng within thework.

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s nothing. Or maybe it¡¯s some sort of match maniption.¡± Either way, this was extremely abnormal.

    ¡®Should I inform Regent Shang about this?¡¯ The manager was contemting but he quickly decided against the idea. The absence of Shang Han clearly showed that she had zero interest in a tournament involving only D-tiers and below.

    ¡®There would be no issue as long as this person doesn¡¯t emerge as the champion.¡¯ The manager made up his mind and quietly rearranged two names on the second-day contest.

    Indeed, Shang Han did not show up for the rest of the day. She is a very busy ruler. There was no point in wasting her precious time watching some lowly D-tier battle that took ce every year.

    In terms of recruitment, she had entrusted the task to Yuan Hao. He was responsible to absorb new blood from the tournament with great potential.

    Thus, Qin Feng¡¯s true identity was not revealed on the first day. He did not stay at the venue after his match but went straight to the Northern Abyss.

    He used the same method as the day before to hunt down another B-tier.

    Yang Pi wondered whether Qin Feng would one day exterminate all the beasts inside the abyss.

    Though it would be an encouraging development, Yang Pi was not entirely happy about it.

    ¡°At this rate, you would have enough crystal cores to reach B-tier in less than two days.¡±

    ¡°Yea. It¡¯s easier than I thought!¡± Bai Li replied.

    ¡°We have been through some hardships, after all. We are much stronger than before now.¡± Qin Feng¡¯s current power was on par with that of before he was reborn. He relied more on his Absorption Ability to devour high-tier beasts then, which made him an ordinary A-tier.

    Now. he was a hero-ss C-tier.

    ¡°You would have toe on your own tomorrow. Thepetition mightst the entire day,¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°No problem.¡± Bai Li was no longer the na?ve fox that knew nothing about the human world. She could take care of herself now.

    Qin Feng arrived at the arena early the next day. After the first day, three contestants from North Sea were eliminated while none from the Sun state had survived.

    Some were capable but did not have luck on their site.

    More unlucky contestants would be kicked out on the second day.

    The morning round would yield 40 winners, while half of them would then be sent home in the afternoon. The final daypetition would then decide the ten finalists of the tournament.

    Qin Feng¡¯s first match of the day was against an E-tier. He sparred with his opponent for a while before putting him down for good. He did not wish to attract unwanted attention.

    As the number of matches was reduced, only five battles were held at the same time in the afternoon. Qin Feng was once again drawn to fight in the first round of thest 40.

    ¡°Oh? My opponent is Han Jun?¡± Qin Feng smiled. He was apparently pleased with the draw. Him meeting Han Jun here meant that Zhou Hao and Jin Fei would have one less fiercepetitor on their path to the final ten.

    Han Jun was one of the only three D-tier ability users in this tournament. He inevitably became the center of attention and many spectators turned their heads when he got on stage.

    Qin Feng walked out from the opposite of the ring after him.

    The force field ascended and shielded them from being disturbed by the crowd¡¯s noise or external conscious power.

    ¡°It¡¯s you! I thought that your name was Zhou Zhang?¡± Han Jun had of course recognized Qin Feng. He did not pay attention to the name after he figured his opponent was not Du Wa or Li Wangshen.

    It surprised him when he saw Qin Feng on the stage.

    ¡°I don¡¯t always go by that name.¡± Qin Feng replied.

    Han Jun was curious but he did not say anything. It did not matter at this point.

    No matter what his true name was, Han Jun believed he had foreseen his opponent¡¯s fate.

    The corner of Han Jun¡¯s mouth rose with confidence.

    ¡°I had given you a chance to kneel before me previously and you refused. Now it¡¯s time to beg for mercy.¡± Han Jun was provoked by Qin Feng before and he was eager to get revenge.

    Qin Feng returned the favor and mocked, ¡°I returned to you what you deservedst time. Do you wish to experience it all over again and kneel before me, calling me papa instead?¡±

    ¡°Screw you! Do you know who my father is? How could you disrespect him?¡± Han Jun red at Qin Feng coldly.

    To Han Jun, Han Mou was not only his father but also his most reliable protector. Anyone who dared to disrespect his father¡¯s name must be taught a lesson.

    Qin Feng jeered, ¡°Are you ten years old? Why do you always bring up your father¡¯s name? Grow up, p*ssy.¡±

    ¡°You!!!¡± Han Jun was infuriated. This was when the bell was rung.

    The match had begun!

    Han Jun was provoked and he immediately triggered runic power with his consciousness.

    Suddenly, a gale began to howl inside the arena.

    ¡°I am going to kill you today, trash! Let¡¯s see whether the dirty mouth of yours can still talk when you are dead!¡±

    The gale copsed into a tornado and the winds spun like high-speed des that would churn your flesh and bone into pieces upon contact.

    ¡°Go! The Art of Tornado!¡±

    Its power was almost the same level as Terraform Magma.

    The audience eximed seeing the skill. It was no doubt an eye-catching technique that would dazzle themoners.

    But some were scared by it.

    ¡®Isn¡¯t this too much for a human opponent? Wouldn¡¯t it tear the other guy into pieces?¡¯

    The manager of the arena was equally shocked. ¡®That is a gruesome move even by Han Jun¡¯s standard. What is he thinking? It would be my fault if this young kid were killed here.¡¯

    The battle between Qin Feng and Han Jun was no coincidence. It was rigged by the manager to prevent Qin Feng from bing the champion.

    Han Jun was one of the most gifted prodigies in this tournament and he would be an ideal stumbling block.

    However, it never crossed the manager¡¯s mind that Han Jun would immediately use a killer move against Qin Feng.

    That was going way overboard!

 Chapter 509 - The Attendance of Shang Han

    <h4>Chapter 509: The Attendance of Shang Han</h4>

    When the audience did not think anyone would have survived the ferocious attack, they were stunned by what happened next.

    Qin Feng, of course, would not allow the attack to hit him. It would be shameful if he were unable to dodge the attack. After all, Qin Feng was a C-tier aptitude user.

    How would a C-tier hero that could kill a C-tier beast emperor be touched by Han Jun, a mere D-tier prodigy? Their strength gap was enormous.

    Poof!

    A shiny light shield appeared abruptly around Qin Feng.

    The wind des hit on the light shield but did not leave a scratch on it.

    Instead, the des were shattered instantly and dissipated back into raw wind runes.

    ¡°Eh?!!¡± The audience on the grandstand once again eximed in awe.

    They did not expect Qin Feng to actually release an internal force shield.

    ¡°Internal force shield! He is a D-tier!¡±

    ¡°He has hidden himself well all this time!¡±

    ¡°Who is going to win?¡±

    ¡°Though both are D-tiers, I will still bet on the ability user. That guy is obviously an ancient warrior!¡±

    The unexpected turn of events got everybody into a heated debate. But the noise did not reach the twobatants on the stage.

    Han Jun was out of ideas once Qin Feng had equipped the internal force shield.

    Qin Feng resonated his voice with internal force, ¡± Young Master Han, I will let you attack me freely for ten minutes. If my shield breaks within that time, it¡¯s your victory. If not, I will make my move.¡±

    ¡°F*ck you!¡± Han Jun did not appreciate Qin Feng¡¯s offer. He felt that he was being looked down upon.

    ¡°I only need one minute to defeat you!¡± Han Jun bellowed and dispersed his tornado.

    The tornado ability might be useful for AoE but it was wasteful if there was only one target.

    The reason Han Jun had used the Art of Tornado to open the match was to petrify Qin Feng.

    He wanted to show off too. Indeed, the audience was deeply astonished judging by their expressions.

    Unexpectedly, Qin Feng was able to withstand such a horrific skill.

    ¡°Try this!¡± Han Jun concentrated his conscious power. In the next moment, a translucent mini cyclone appeared on his palm.

    ¡°Go!¡± A Gale Dragon howled and charged at Qin Feng.

    The dragon traveled through the air rapidly, carrying a vicious force. Those D-tiers and below cried out in bewilderment.

    ¡®Can he stop it this time?¡¯

    Qin Feng was unmoved. His expression remained bizarrely calm.

    The next instant, the Gale Dragon impacted hard on Qin Feng¡¯s shield. However, the expected fly out did not happen. Qin Feng stood steadily on the spot while the wind-type ability once again dissipated.

    ¡°How is this possible?¡± Han Jun bawled. He had enormous confidence in his own skill. ¡®How could his shield remain intact after two sessive attacks?¡¯

    ¡®He must be faking it to y mind games with me. I cannot be swayed. He won¡¯tst through my subsequent attacks!¡¯ Though Han Jun was an arrogant teenager, he did receive proper battle teaching from young from no less than a hundred masters. Through them, he had learned to stay calm no matter what happened in a battle, and thus he was able to regain hisposure.

    Despite having both of his abilities failing to put down Qin Feng, he was enraged but remained poised.

    ¡®Again!¡¯

    ¡®Again!¡¯

    ¡®Take this!¡¯

    Han Jun released one after another powerful skill. The weaker audience could hardly keep up.

    Nevertheless, no matter how hard he tried, nothing he did worked. Qin Feng did not move an inch and his internal force shield remained unscathed.

    Han Jun started to panic.

    The audience was no longer eximing every time Han Jun unleashed an attack either.

    Han Jun was Han Mou¡¯s son. But such a powerful prodigy was unable toy a mark on his opponent¡¯s internal force shield.

    There was only one exnation. That guy was on an entirely different level.

    At the same time, the manager of the arena was extremely nervous too.

    ¡®This... What should I do now?¡±

    The manager was still feeling sorry a moment ago. Now, all that was left was terror.

    There was no need to feel sorry for him at all. Han Jun was never going to touch him at this rate, left alone kill him!

    This was when another uproar broke out from the crowd.

    It was not directed to the match but to the seat on the highest grandstand. It was built on the other side of the arena designed specifically to house the VVIPs, including the higher ranking officers in Beihua or the rulers of the northern nations under Human Alliances.

    If Guang Wei were still alive, then he would no doubt be sitting there now too.

    There were only several men up there before with their subordinates sitting on the second row. But a person was seen sitting on the middle spot now.

    ¡°Regent Shang!¡±

    ¡°Good to see you here, Regent Shang!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the regent. She is here!¡±

    All the aptitude users in the arena were excited to see Shang Han.

    Despite the distance, the aptitude users could still make out the serious stance of Shang Han and the A-tier badge on her chest. They were deeply enthused.

    Nobody dared to probe her using conscious energy. They watched her admirably.

    Shang Han could feel the passionate sights and raised her hand to acknowledge the crowd.

    Beside Shang Han stood a B-tier aptitude user named Tian Yi. He was a general who was newly promoted to rece Guang Wei.

    ¡°How are the prodigies this year? I heard that Han Mou¡¯s son is here again this year?¡± Shang Han spoke softly.

    Han Jun was neen this year. He was at E7-tier inst year¡¯s tournament, which was considered excellent for his age. Yet, it was not enough for him to be selected to go to Dragon Capital.

    It was different this year. He had a high chance after attaining D-tier.

    Tian Yi replied with reservation, ¡°He did. In fact, he ispeting at arena three now.¡±

    ¡°Oh? I wonder how he has improved in this past year?¡±

    Shang Han turned to the third arena and saw Han Jun¡¯s threatening attacks.

    ¡°He has indeed reached D-tier. At least he didn¡¯t waste his talent for nothing.¡± Shang Han nodded calmly.

    But she immediately frowned puzzlingly. Though Han Jun seemed to be on the upper hand, his breathing was shallow and disoriented. That showed that he was panicking. Besides, his trembling body also indicated that he had overused his abilities.

    ¡®What is happening?¡¯ Shang Han was a little baffled. ¡®Who is his opponent?¡¯

    The opponent must be quite strong if he was able to push Han Jun to this state. Her sight fell on the other figure on the court.

 Chapter 510 - Direct Qualification

    <h4>Chapter 510: Direct Qualification</h4>

    The figure was side-facing Shang Han as well. His position had not changed since the beginning of the match. This was intended to give those on the grandstand a good view of him.

    Shang Han immediately recognized the person opposite Han Jun.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Shang Han¡¯s eyes almost popped out.

    ¡°Why is he on the stage?¡± Shang Han asked subconsciously.

    Yuan Hao had no answer for her.

    A figure ran up and stumbled into the room. He was bathed in sweat and looked about to weep.

    ¡°Regent! It¡¯s catastrophic!¡±

    Shang Han was startled. She had rarely heard the word ¡°catastrophic¡± ever since she had be a regent.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Shang Han turned to the man and realized it was the manager of the arena.

    The manager immediately uttered, ¡°Regent, the contestant who is fighting against Han Jun on the third arena has 10 trillion betted on him to be the champion. The odd... the odd is...¡± The manager almost cried and could not muster another word.

    Shang Han had a bad feeling about it. ¡°Just say it. What¡¯s the odd?¡±

    ¡°Six... sixty-four!¡±

    Shang Han almost fainted.

    ¡°How dumb are you to ce such a high betting odd on Qin Feng?¡± Shang Han scolded.

    ¡°Regent, I didn¡¯t... I didn¡¯t know that he is that strong! The North Sea team always sat at the bottom in previous years. No matter how good he is, there¡¯s no way I could imagine him beating a D-tier!¡±

    Who would have thought that even Han Jun was no match for Qin Feng?

    ¡®Are we really going to have to pay out such arge amount to the betters?¡±

    Shang Han was beyond mad. ¡°You are one hell of a moron! Don¡¯t you know that the newly appointed governor of the North Sea has the exact same name, Qin Feng? Get out of my sight! You are fired!¡± Shang Han wished she could just tear the idiot in front of her into half.

    The manager was bewildered. Not only him but those B-tiers inside the room were not aware too. Everyone was stunned by the revtion.

    ¡®Qin Feng? Governor? So it means he is at least a C-tier?¡¯

    At the same time, Han Jun was exhausted on the stage. His face was pale and he had emptied all of his conscious energy.

    Regardless, Qin Feng remained untouched. He did not even lose a single bit of his internal strength.

    ¡°Too bad, times up...¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    Han Jun was trembling out of rage but he was too exhausted to retort.

    ¡°My turn!¡± Qin Feng said and raised his hand slightly.

    Everyone now had their eyes fixed on Qin Feng. His internal force shield was no doubt sturdy. But they were not convinced just yet. They were waiting for him to showcase his attack.

    Doubt and anxiousness began to seep into Han Jun¡¯s angry mind. Judging by Qin Feng¡¯s unbreakable internal force shield, Han Jun knew that his opponent possessed enormous internal strength. He would notst a single attack.

    Han Jun slightly regretted his actions now.

    Wind-shield!

    Wind-dash!

    Han Jun executed the two abilities to enhance his speed and attack.

    Qin Feng merely flicked his finger. The tiny moment resulted in outward energy waves. The waves behaved like rippled water and spread rapidly right toward Han Jun.

    The energy waves finally hit on its target¡¯s shield.

    Crack!

    The Wind-shield sank inward like it was just pounded by a heavy attack.

    It was just a wave!

    Poof!

    The Wind-shield shattered instantly and the wave hit right on Han Jun¡¯s body.

    Boom!

    Han Jun was immediately sent flying and collided with the light shield surrounding the arena. Arge ripple rippled through the light shield, indicating how powerful the attack was.

    ¡°Woah!¡±

    ¡°No way!!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s crazy!¡±

    Numerous audiences eximed in disbelief.

    It was too easy for Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°I understand now. It wasn¡¯t any particr ability but rather pure internal force!¡±

    ¡°Though I have heard that D-tiers could liquefy their internal strength and materialize it, this is the first time I am seeing it with my own eyes!¡±

    ¡°What the hell!¡±

    The umpire was rooted too.

    ¡°Hey, start the countdown now,¡± Qin Feng reminded him.

    ¡°Oh, that¡¯s right! 10, 9, 8, ...¡±

    It was not actually necessary. Han Jun would not be conscious after such a brutal attack.

    Though the attack seemed fierce, Qin Feng had controlled his attack precisely so that most of his internal force was transferred to the light shield when Han Jun hit the barrier. Thetter was not heavily injured but he would not be able to continue in this tournament anymore.

    The result of the match was a surprise to most people.

    This was when a voice came out from the grandstand. Everyone in the arena could hear it clearly.

    It wasing from Shang Han. ¡°Be quiet, I have something to announce!¡±

    ¡°Regent!¡±

    Everyone got up from their seats and bowed to Shang Han. It was a voluntary gesture of respect. It wasrgely owing to Shang Han that they got to live without worry inside the city.

    Shang Han waited until everyone quieted down. Other than Han Jun on the ground, every person inside the arena including Qin Feng were looking at her. She was rather displeased with what was going to be said next but she had no choice. Shang Han almost fainted when she thought about the booker money that she might need to fork out in case Qin Feng became champion.

    She was forced to cheat her way out of this.

    ¡°Let me introduce you to the contestant on the third stage. His name is Qin Feng. At age 17, he is the brightest prodigy from the Northern region!¡±

    The silent audience once again fell into an uproar.

    ¡®The guy who beat Han Jun effortlessly is only 17 years old? Which means, he was only awakenedst year!¡¯

    ¡®Perhaps he is a genius that began his training under a legendary ancient warrior family since three years old? That would exin his otherworldly prowess!¡¯

    The audience began to construct their own hypothesis.

    Qin Feng was baffled and did not understand Shang Han¡¯s purpose.

    Shang Han continued, ¡°Moreover, Qin Feng is now the governor of the North Sea. He is a certified C-tier aptitude user!¡±

    The news sent a shock right through the crowd. People were rendered speechless by the bombshell.

    ¡°Governor Qin has proven his worth in this match and I believe he will be exceptional in the Huaxia Prodigy Tournament thising November!¡±

    ¡°He is no doubt the strongest prodigy in the Northern region now. His skill is simply far too superior to other contestants in this tournament. To protect other seeded contestants, I hereby announce that Qin Feng is directly qualified for the final ten. Is there any objection?¡±

    Nobody would object to that. It was a no-brainer for Qin Feng to be selected into the top ten based on his tier. It was not like anyone in this tournament could put up a fight against him.

    ¡°It seems that everyone is okay with the decision. Congrattions Qin Feng, you are in the final ten now!¡±

 Chapter 511 - Meeting

    Chapter 511: Meeting

    Shang Han was the first to apud and the audience followed suit. They were cheering the C-tier aptitude user, who may win it all at Dragon Capital. After all, the other contestants, no matter how powerful they might be, would just be D-tier at max.

    The crowd was in ecstasy. They were honored to have a C-tier prodigy representing them this year.

    ¡°Besides that, since Han Jun has performed well in the face of an overpowering opponent, he will be automatically qualified too.¡±

    The audience reckoned that it was a just decision. Han Jun had done well. It was not his fault to lose the match when his opponent was one tier above him.

    ¡°To give other prodigies a fair chance, Han Jun and Qin Feng¡¯s qualification will be considered as an exception. The tournament will proceed as usual and the other ten qualifiers will be decided from the remaining contestants. The twelve of them will then be sent to Beihua training camp to decide who are the final ten representatives that will join the tournament in Dragon Capital.¡±

    The audience thought it was a reasonable arrangement but B-tiers who had betted could onlyugh bitterly.

    Though Qin Feng had qualified, he would not be crowned champion as Shang Han had made it clear that he was an exception.

    Shang Han then ordered, ¡°Resume the matches!¡±

    Actually, other matches did not stop because contestants inside the shield had no idea about the drastic turn of events that had just taken ce. Those who had justpleted their matches exited the stage in a haze.

    The paramedics went up the stage immediately and carried Han Jun down on a stretcher. Qin Feng also descended the stage quickly.

    Shang Han was relieved after the matter was dealt with. But she was still a little embarrassed that it had to go this way.

    ¡°Return all the bets by the B-tiers on Qin Feng! Bunch of trouble makers!¡±

    Yuan Hao was amazed by Shang Han¡¯s flexibility and quick thinking. The regent had cleverly avoided the need to pay a huge sum of money convincingly. Of course, he was going to deliver the regent¡¯s message to those B-tiers who had caused a fuss.

    ¡°Qin Feng, to the grandstand.¡± She directly messaged Qin Feng.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Qin Feng was not surprised to receive the message and directly went up to the grandstand. He was ushered by Yuan Hao at the door.

    ¡®This man here is the biggest trouble maker of them all. He killed Guang Wei and now he is here in the Prodigy Tournament. Why is a man of his caliber interested in a tournament for the kids? He would have no use of the tournament rewards anyway.¡¯

    ¡°Have a seat.¡± Shang Han pointed to the seat beside her.

    Qin Feng sat as told.

    ¡°Why did you join the Prodigy Tournament?¡± Shang Han questioned.

    ¡°I came as a contestant. I want to represent Beihua. That¡¯s the rule, right?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s answer caught Shang Han off guard.

    Shang Han thought that Qin Feng came to Bei Hua to expand his influence and business. She was even more certain when Qin Feng killed Guang Wei. She saw it as a premeditated move by Qin Feng to eliminate apetitor at Beihua.

    But Qin Feng now imed he was here wholeheartedly for thepetition.

    ¡°What¡¯s the point of you participating in this tournament? You are just putting yourself in the center of attention.¡± Shang Han said.

    At first, Qin Feng¡¯s purpose here was to see whether there would be any potential prodigies that he could recruit under his wing.

    He did not mind which position he ended up in the tournament.

    But now that Shang Han had questioned him, Qin Feng felt that he should be gunning for the top spot. He now remembered that the winner of the Dragon Capital Tournament would be given the ticket to enter a secret dimension.

    ¡°I am an ambitious teenager who can¡¯t wait to make a name for myself!¡± Qin Feng said half-jokingly.

    Shang Han had never viewed Qin Feng as a teenager. Both his prowess and future development had shown that he was a rising elect.

    Perhaps he was already one of them.

    ¡°Then it seems I have somehow done that for you today?¡± Shang Han said mockingly.

    ¡°Should I thank you, then?¡±

    ¡°Please stop messing around. Don¡¯t you know the B-tiers could have seen through your true strength easily? They even collectively betted ten trillion on your head!¡±

    Qin Feng finally understood why Shang Han said those words in public just now. ¡°So that¡¯s why.¡±

    No wonder Shang Han praised and directly qualified him in the open. She simply did not want him to continue in the tournament.

    Otherwise, Shang Han would go bankrupt losing those bets.

    ¡°These people are truly inconsiderate. How could they take advantage of Regent Shang?!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Shang Han was still fuming, ¡°This will not happen if you didn¡¯t join the tournament in the first ce. You are nothing but trouble!¡±

    This prodigy was such a despicable trouble maker.

    Qin Fengughed and replied, ¡°But I helped you to wipe out the Northern Abyss. I believe this contribution alone surpasses thousands of B-tiersbined?¡±

    He was not wrong in that sense. Shang Han¡¯s expression finally rxed a little.

    Qin Feng, despite his unruly actions, was no doubt a great help to Shang Han.

    ¡°Don¡¯t waste your time here tomorrow. Follow me to Far Woond. A beast horde is looming. I am going there to investigate tomorrow,¡± Shang Han ordered.

    ¡°Yes, Regent.¡± Qin Feng obeyed.

    Far Woond was an extremely dangerous location. Asking an ipetent ability user to enter the ce was no different from murder.

    Shang Han had always scouted the ce alone in the past.

    After they arranged the meeting time, Shang Han promptly left the room and Qin Feng returned to the arena. The final match took ce in the afternoon and he chose not to go to the Northern Abyss that day.

    There were only 18 contestants left after the second day of thepetition. Other than Jin Fei and Zhou Hao, everyone from the North Sea team had been eliminated.

    Without any suspense, those teams that were usually at the lower end of the ranking had all their contestants eliminated from the tournament. The North Sea was the unexpected underdog this year.

    Qin Feng took a look at the other 16 contestants. If they were lucky and avoided the two D-tiers, then Jin Fei and Zhou Hao would have a high chance to qualify for the tournament.

    The next morning, Qin Feng did not stop by the arena and went straight to the rendezvous point.

    Inside the hovercar, Qin Feng said to Bai Li, ¡°If Shang Han figures out your true identity, I will immediately tell her the truth. We will leave at once if she wants to harm you.¡±

    ¡°Is it okay?¡± Bai Li hesitated. Qin Feng worked so hard to finally return to the Human Alliance. If they were to flee again, Bai Li felt that there¡¯s too much for Qin Feng to give up.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Don¡¯t worry too much. We will decide after seeing Shang Han¡¯s response.¡±

    Bai Li gave it a thought and nodded. ¡°Okay. We will not back down if she is being aggressive. I might be a beast but I am a kind-hearted one!¡± The mutated beast also came in all sorts of forms. Not all beasts were malicious and savage.

    Bai Li¡¯s dependence on Qin Feng was totally understandable because there were simply too few spatial beasts out there. More so, most of them lived in solitary. Qin Feng was her only family. She would not mind how others viewed her, be it another human or her own kind.

 Chapter 512 - Far Woodland Rift

    <h4>Chapter 512: Far Woond Rift</h4>

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will be here, and I will not let you feel aggrieved.¡±

    ¡°Well, I do believe that you won¡¯t!¡± Bai Liughed and answered.

    ¡°Even if you were to suffer any unjust treatment and if we can¡¯t fight against it, can¡¯t we just run away? The sky is the only limit, is there anywhere that we can¡¯t be?¡± Qin Feng pinched Bai Li¡¯s nose.

    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Bai Li brightened up and her eyes sparkled, to her, she was still at a young age, and she had only been here for a year!

    From her inherited memories, Bai Li felt that space beasts were just travelers, however, she was willing to sacrifice herself for Qin Feng and stay on this Earth that was of a weaker existence.

    She was also prepared to leave if she had to, and she would bring Qin Feng to roam the other regions and explore and experience the endless number of extra dimensional regions.

    Nobody could stop her!

    ¡°Beep beep!¡±

    The hover car in front glimmered and began to move forward, Qin Feng tweaked the settings to follow along. As there were others to clear the path, the cars were able to move at high speed and arrive outside.

    Then, everyone exited from their cars and switched into abat hover copter.

    ¡°I suppose you are Miss Bai Li? My pleasure to meet you!¡± Shang Han looked toward Bai Li, and she was instantly shocked.

    Despite having already browsed Bai Li¡¯s details that were sent to her office desk, Shang Han still thought that Bai Li was too gorgeous and perfect.

    She was young, beautiful, well-mannered, and there were no ws at all.

    ¡°Nice to meet you, Regent Shang!¡±

    Both of them shook hands.

    Shang Han nodded while feeling slightly unsettled, however, she ignored her feelings. It was almost like an automatic reaction; she did not want to look at Bai Li any longer, the longer she looked, the more inferior and ashamed she would feel!

    ¡°Let¡¯s get into the hover copter. To get to the Far Woond, it will be a two hours ride!¡±

    ¡°Hmm!¡±

    Besides Qin Feng and Bai Li, there were also four other B-tier aptitude users that went along, and one of them was a B-tier gunner-cum-pilot.

    Yuan Hao escorted Shang Han right beyond the exit of the city and returned, with his capabilities, he was still unable to go into the Far Woond.

    The hover copter travelled in the sky for two hours, it had then arrived at the border of the Far Woond, and as soon as the hover copter entered into the area, it was immediately targeted by several gigantic flying ultra beasts that rushed toward its direction.

    ¡°Poof poof poof!¡±

    Light rays instantly exploded and annihted the flying ultra beasts.

    The B-tier gunner was insanely violent with his attacks!

    Soon, they flew past the outer region of the Far Woond and entered into the inner part, there was a giant rift that had appeared on a skyscraping mountain.

    It was like the rift had hollowed the giant mountain; however, it was not a spatial rift but more like a giant hole that could devour every creature and might even churn out horrifying creatures from it.

    Shang Han began to exin the situation as Qin Feng might not be aware of what was happening.

    ¡°This rift is actually a spatial rift that was formed within the giant mountain, since its formation, it was already this huge, it is hundreds of meters in height and approximately three hundred meters in width, extremely horrifying!¡±

    Shang Han pointed forward and continued, ¡°The space is located at an extremely fragile spot, and even the instation of the space stabilizing device was unable to prevent the annual explosion of the spatial rift, the magnitude of explosion varies in its level, and of course, not every explosion would lead to massive burst of beast waves, there might even be no creatures at all!¡±

    However, the probability of that happening was rather low.

    As Shang Han was exining, two Vajra Apes appeared from the inner rift of the giant cave of the mountain!

    They were gigantic B-tier beasts that were more than twenty meters in height, and they were about the height of buildings with six floors.

    Dong!

    Dong dong!

    Every step of the beasts caused intense quakes to the surroundings and scared every small-sized ultra beasts around the Far Woond, and they were all shocked as they scurried away.

    Shang Han noticed how bad the situation was.

    Surprisingly, the beast wave had yet to explode and there was already the appearance of two B-tiers, it seemed to have indicated that the uing wave would be extremely dangerous.

    ¡°Bai Li, is there anything that you can sense?¡± Qin Feng asked Bai Li from his conscious energy.

    ¡°Hmm, the inner space of the mountain has been fully devoured, there is a rift that stretches to about hundreds of meters within the mountain, and it is connected to this giant cave!¡±

    Bai Li had fully captured the spatial surroundings.

    Meanwhile, Shang Han had instructed the hover copter to prepare fornding!

    It was a safending on a t surface, all seven of them began to walk into the giant mountain.

    When viewed from afar, the rift was like a scenery, and as soon as they got closer to it, the more they realized how tiny they were.

    Dong dong!

    The thunderous footsteps began to close in on them, it was the two Vajra Apes!

    ¡°The beast wave has yet to begin, however, if we were to allow these two B-tier ultra beasts to roam around the Far Woond, they might still cause trouble and rm the other ultra beasts, let¡¯s kill them!¡± Shang Han ordered.

    ¡°Yes, Regent!¡±

    Everyone nodded in agreement as they began to take their position and followed behind Shang Han.

    Shang Han took the lead, soon, they hade before the Vajra Apes, to the apes, Shang Han was even smaller than the size of their thumbs!

    However, Shang Han was a qualified A-tier ancient warrior.

    She had much stronger capabilities than the ultra beasts.

    The next moment, Shang Han was already holding a sword in her hand!

    ¡°Everyone, be careful!¡±

    All of a sudden, Shang Han¡¯s figure had disappeared.

    Qin Feng was alerted and immediately shifted his vision toward the ankle of the ape, a glowing sword that was overwhelmed with internal strength had exploded into attack.

    Poof poof!

    The glowing sword had instantly slit opened the muscles of its opponent, and the cut was deep enough to expose the bones as fresh blood gushed out like spring water.

    ¡°Ah ah ah!¡± The Vajra Ape let out a deafening howl as it was in great pain and its body tumbled onto the ground!

    The fall of its giant body had allowed the others to take advantage of that and follow up with their attacks.

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    ¡°Wood Tangle!¡±

    Massive ability instantly exploded from an ability user, tens of giant trees shot up rapidly while the stems swirled into vines that entangled around the body of the apes.

    Shang Han¡¯s shadow disappeared again, and all of a sudden, she was already at the neck of the Vajra Ape.

    Poof!

    Shang Han hadnded another sh on the ape.

    ¡°Roar!!!¡± The Vajra Ape was startled and shocked, its fierce struggle brought down the trees around it; Shang Han had failed tond a deadly attack to take down the ape.

    The Vajra Ape was agitated as it wanted to free itself from the entanglement, it mmed its palm onto the ground and formed a pit that was about the size of an adult.

    Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

    The aptitude users swiftly dodged the m and began to follow up with their attacks and assaults!

    Of course, Shang Han was still taking the lead with her attacks.

    Qin Feng analyzed the scene and began to take action.

    ¡°Dark ray!¡± A ray of dark light was channeled and instantlynded a deadly hit onto the Vajra Ape, it began to struggle less and became powerless.

    Qin Feng drew out his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    A ray of fuchsia light shot out and prated tens of meters before it pierced onto the skull of the Vajra Ape.

    The Vajra Ape who was no longer struggling red furiously at Qin Feng without noticing that its skull had already been prated!

    It was fortunate enough to have the others to pin down the target, or else, it would still be difficult for Qin Feng to take the beast down within such a short time!

    ¡°Aow aow aow...¡± Meanwhile, the other Vajra Ape who was standing hundreds of meters away was alerted by the fight, and it immediately went berserk and rushed toward the fight scene, the earth quaked and everyone could not even stand still on the ground.

    The ape was consumed by its anger as it clearly wanted to tear down everyone at the scene.

 Chapter 513 - Into The Rift

    Chapter 513: Into The Rift

    Qin Feng released his ability for another round of attack.

    The dead Vajra Ape was shrouded by a dark ability that had turned the corpse grey in colour, it was no longer as lively as it was before!

    ¡°Arise!¡±

    All of a sudden, the dead Vajra Ape opened its eyes that were filled with dark light and crawled up.

    Qin Feng took a leap and jumped onto the shoulder of the ape.

    ¡°Roar!!!¡±

    Despite the ape having risen from the dead, the other ape who was before him knew clearly that it was a dead body, showing that they were not low-intelligence beasts!

    Amidst the growling, both Vajra Apes rammed into each other.

    Shang Han and the others did not expect such a scene to ur at all, and they had no choice but to take a few steps back to avoid being identally wounded by the fight between two of the gigantic creatures.

    Qin Feng controlled the Vajra Ape to lock the arm of its opponent with its massive strength, and decayed flesh began to fall off from the corpse.

    Although summoning dead creatures would ensure that they were unafraid of death, one of the disadvantages was its incapability to sustain fights with its decayed flesh and skin, and the only indestructible part of the dead body was its solid bone structure.

    However, it would already suffice to serve its purpose!

    Qin Feng stood on the shoulder of the Vajra Ape while the opposing ape was only tens of meters ahead.

    ¡°Dark ray!¡±

    A ray of light instantlysered onto the body of the opposing Vajra Ape.

    The ray was at least a meter in thickness, and uponnding onto the body of the target, it immediately formed into a dark shield that shrouded around the target¡¯s body. The dark light was also embedded with an energy reducing ability that would drain the target¡¯s energy, the target would then be defeated by attacks from the dauntless dead puppet controlled by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s saber immediately exploded with glittering lights.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    There were no horrifying battle skills anymore, instead, Qin Feng¡¯s saber flickered and prated into the chest of the Vajra Ape.

    A blinding fuchsia light shed with its extremely horrifying temperature.

    A charred smell lingered around the surroundings, which was then followed by a pleasant barbeque smell.

    ¡°Aow!¡±

    The Vajra Ape let out a miserable shriek as it was shocked by its overpowering opponent.

    Most importantly, it had wounded itself.

    The Vajra Ape immediately got the shock of its life and immediately let go of the arm of the dead puppet, and it was about to flee.

    It was at that moment, the other aptitude users responded, there was another strike from the wood ability user.

    ¡°Vine Garrotte!¡±

    All of a sudden, a vine that was a meter in thickness and more than a hundred meters in length had risen up to the sky and was tangled around the body of the Vajra Ape.

    The Vajra Ape roared instantly and the vine was immediately broken.

    Qin Feng took advantage of the short period of dy and controlled the puppet corpse to rush forward again and forced its body onto the target.

    Qin Feng raised his hand as a ray of terrorizing fire appeared.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    ¡°Aow...¡±

    The Fire Dragon howled and mmed its attack onto the chest of the Vajra Ape.

    The same burnt spot had instantly turned pitch-ck, while the Fire Dragon prated into the opening, and even its tail had disappeared along with it.

    Upon the disappearance of the Fire Dragon, the Vajra Ape stood frozen still with a giant hole on its chest that was about a meter in diameter, the deep wound had exposed its charred flesh and bones from the inside, and even its heart had disappeared!

    The Vajra Ape was also dead!

    The surrounding was silenced, and only the sound of broken boughs and noises of escaping ultra beasts were heard. However, to the aptitude users, the battle had alreadye to an end.

    Qin Feng raised his hand again, while dark ability shrouded the dead Vajra Ape and its body began to go through the same decaying process and transformed into a corpse puppet.

    ¡°Although both of the Vajra Apes are B-tiers, however, they were only ordinary B-tiers that would not have any valuable materials, let me just turn them into puppets and follow us into the cave, it would be more secure for us!¡±

    Qin Feng exined to the others.

    However, who would actually?

    Those were only B-tier ultra beast materials, at most, they would only be worth about twenty million.

    However, it would definitely make someone¡¯s blood run cold to have reinforcement from a B-tier ultra beast!

    Among the B-tier aptitude users in the crowd, there was only one of them that had gone to the Northern Abyss and knew about Qin Feng battle results. However, none of them had witnessed Qin Feng in actual battle before, now, they had all seen it for themselves!

    ¡°Both of these ultra beasts were solely killed by you, you can do whatever you want, furthermore, the exploration would definitely be safer if we have two of these ultra beast puppets!¡± Shang Han was also delighted.

    Afterall, the human body was too fragile and small!

    As soon as Shang Han expressed her views, the other aptitude users also responded in kind.

    ¡°It is such a pleasure to meet with you, Governor Qin, not only are you an aptitude user, surprisingly, you are also an ancient warrior!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Governor Qin, you are a dual aptitude user, this is so rare and unexpected!¡±

    ¡°A young hero indeed!¡±

    Those were the aptitude users that would only uphold their superior status when they were around low rank aptitude users.

    Although Qin Feng was still a rank lower than all of them, hisbat energy was indeed overwhelmingly terrifying!

    Everyone was impressed by Qin Feng.

    Of course, they felt much more assured and rxed now.

    It was because they were apanied by a powerfulpanion.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough, let¡¯s go!¡± Shang Han ordered the others to not continue with theirpliments toward Qin Feng and begin to enter into the cave.

    Everyone was to step onto the shoulder of the corpse puppet, Qin Feng stood together with Bai Li and Shang Han also stood on the left shoulder of the puppet, while there were another two people on the other puppet.

    Despite the massive body size of the puppet ape, it was still moving fast enough to reduce everyone¡¯s travel time, and at the same time, they were also able to reserve their internal and physical strength.

    Soon, everyone had arrived inside a pitch-ck cave.

    For Qin Feng, the environment was still the same as it was outside. Certainly, Bai Li and the other five people also had no problems with such an environment as they were all B-tier and A-tier aptitude users that had already consumed spirit herbs that would allow them to see in the dark.

    All seven of them were not equipped with any equipment to light up the surroundings, right after they had entered into the cave, they had also slowed down their breathings to prevent drawing any attention from ultra beasts in the surroundings.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng began to analyze the environment of the surroundings.

    The surface of the wall was silky smooth, it was like a t tofu being excavated at one go, and there were no signs of repeated fabrication at all; Qin Feng knew that it was formed by the instant opening of the spatial rift, where the rocks and soil within the cave had beenpletely devoured.

    At that moment, thepact soilyer had no signs of possibly copsing except for some stone fragments that would fall whenever gigantic creatures passed by.

    There were also aggregates that were scattered around the uneven concave-shaped ground.

    However, apart from the first entrance, the inner part of the cave was in an irregr shape and it had even been divided into three major rifts that were extended into deeper parts of the cave.

    The B-tier gunner analyzed a scanning device and exined, ¡°Both of the Vajra Apes were from the rift in the middle!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s take a look!¡± Shang Han urged.

    Qin Feng remained silent and coordinated the Vajra Apes to move in.

    It was at that moment when noises of apparent gulping were heard from the surroundings.

 Chapter 514 - Shang Hanâ€™s Regret

    <h4>Chapter 514: Shang Han¡¯s Regret</h4>

    ¡°It is the Lycanthrope!¡± Shang Han was stunned as she said in a deep voice.

    During every resistance against the annual beast wave, they were able to identify every ultra beasts that had appeared.

    Qin Feng had also heard the noise, a bunch of spooky creatures had appeared from the dark, they were abination of human and devil.

    They had the lower body part of a Lycan and upper body part of a human, their eyes were blood-red in color, while every one of them were about two and a half meters in height.

    Most importantly, every Lycanthrope had the capability of a C-tier!

    Meaning to say, they wereparable with the Grans.

    Of course, the Lycanthrope had a lower wisdom level and would easily go wild in excessive killings, therefore, they could be easily lured and killed by heat weapons.

    However, the most terrifying feature of the Lycanthrope was their reproductive ability.

    A pregnant Lycanthrope was able to give birth to a pack of small Lycanthropes every three months, and it would only require half a year for the small Lycanthrope to be warriors; with sufficient amount of food supplied, the tribe would easily expand at an insanely fast pace.

    For humans, it would take at least sixteen years to cultivate a warrior.

    ¡°Kill!¡± Shang Han ordered them to kill without any doubts.

    Everyone did not hesitate and jumped down from the body of the Vajra Ape to call down a ughter onto the Lycanthropes.

    Certainly, all of the B-tier aptitude users had to be highly capable to join Shang Han in such an exploration!

    ¡°Let me take the lead!¡± Qin Feng controlled the Vajra Ape to storm the front and tanked against the Lycanthropes, therefore, the B-tiers would only need to take care of those opponents that were missed out.

    The gigantic Vajra Apended a massive punch onto the chest of a Lycanthrope, and it was instantly crushed dead.

    Dead!

    The Lycanthrope let out itsst breath and all of its reddishplexion and natural glow faded from its body; Qin Feng was able to clearly sense abination of conscious energy and internal force energy that had merged into his body.

    ¡°Does this Lycanthrope give conscious energy?¡± Qin Feng was astonished by the ability of the ultra beast that was able to provide him with conscious energy, indeed, it was rare to encounter such an ultra beast.

    ¡°In this case, let¡¯s kill them all!¡±

    Qin Feng had to get close enough to be able to absorb the energy, hence, it was best for him to take down all of them quickly.

    Qin Feng jumped down from the Vajra Ape with his Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand.

    The saber was swung and it was shed onto a Lycanthrope.

    ¡°Aow!¡±

    The Lycanthrope raged with a roar as it extended its ws and tried to grab onto Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Although it had toughened ws, it was unaware of Qin Feng¡¯s saber that was razor sharp and indestructible.

    Poof!

    Qin Fengnded the sh without any hesitation and secured the kill.

    Qin Feng was moving at an extremely high speed, when he had alreadypleted his fifth attack, only then did the first Lycanthrope begin to fall onto the ground with its body shed into half!

    The kills were swiftly done by Qin Feng, and the raging roars from the Lycanthropes were constantly heard.

    They had juste out from the rift and it was definitely an out of the blue disaster for them to face such an attack and be hunted down mercilessly.

    ¡°Roar!!!¡± The Lycanthropes roared.

    ¡°Roar roar roar roar roar!¡±

    The roars were constantly heard!

    Shang Han seemed to be troubled by the situation, while the other four B-tier aptitude users remained alert to the attacks from the surroundings.

    The beginning part of the rift was already packed with such dangerous beasts, and what would the situation be like in the deeper parts of the rift?

    Soon, the B-tier aptitude users began to feel something unusual.

    ¡°What is happening? How could he still stay calm and unpressured when facing such an enormous number of Lycanthropes?!¡±

    ¡°Something is not right!¡±

    ¡°Is it because of the two Vajra Apes that he has?¡±

    Despite the doubts, the B-tiers would rather have such a situation where they could just easily handle the opponents one by one.

    It was extremely crucial to remain focused during battles, hence, the B-tiers were certainly unable to witness Qin Feng¡¯s merciless massacre at the frontline.

    Before arriving at Beihua, Qin Feng had already fought the Grans during the Longchuan battle, and before his rebirth, he had already encountered countless numbers of battles that had equipped him with seasoned experience to tackle all sorts of ultra beasts. Hence, the regr-sized Lycanthropes were not much of a threat to him.

    Every sh was equivalent to a swift kill!

    The fishy smell of blood flooded the entire area.

    The Lycanthropes began to experience transformation where their eyes turned blood-red color, fur began to shoot up, and their capabilities were doubled.

    Qin Feng remained unbothered by the transformation, and as he sensed the growing numbers of the Lycanthropes, he swirled his Verdant Emperor Saber around, his battle skills exploding!

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    All of a sudden, tens of Lycanthropes were impaled by a stretch of me that had extended more than ten meters in length, engulfing mes slit across them and instantly killed all of them.

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng had chosen to ughter his way into the pack of Lycanthropes with his tormenting de.

    All of the Lycanthropes had certainly seen Qin Feng who was butchering all of them, they began to rush toward him with their sharpened ws.

    Screech!

    An ear-piercing noise echoed in the surroundings, while Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield vibrated for a short moment and returned to its stable state.

    Despite being ambushed by five Lycanthropes, Qin Feng had not suffered any harm from the simultaneous attacks at all.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng spun his body while his de circled around him, instantly killing every Lycanthrope that was around him!

    The Lycanthropes were like meek little sheep and Qin Feng was like the wolf that was after the herd of sheep.

    Within a short moment, Qin Feng had taken down every Lycanthrope that was in the deeper parts of the rift, meanwhile, the actions of the Vajra Apes had also stopped.

    On average, each B-tier had secured four to five kills for themselves, and they thought that if they could keep the pace they would be able to annihte the entire tribe soon.

    As soon as thest Lycanthrope was killed, howling was no longer heard in the surroundings.

    Then, a pool of crimson me rose up before the gigantic Vajra Ape.

    The massive engulfing mes had consumed everything in the surroundings, and finally what was left was a core that was about the size of a cobblestone. It orbited and fell into someone¡¯s possession, and it was no other than Qin Feng.

    All of the humanlike creatures would have their own cores, however, most of them only had the energy level of a C-tier beast soldier; at most, each of them would only cost five million, and four hundred of them would only cost two billion.

    However, due to Qin Feng¡¯s excessive spatial rune equipment space, it would be better to just keep them and let Xue Xinfu take care of them!

    The growth in trade amount would not only bring massive profits, it would also build up credibility and reputation.

    However, every B-tier was shocked dumb by Qin Feng¡¯s action.

    ¡°Governor Qin, have you killed all of the Lycanthropes? One of the aptitude users asked.

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°All of them are dead!¡±

    mes perished and darkness reimed the surroundings, however, everyone was able to see clearly that there were only ashes left on the ground, nothing else.

    All of a sudden, everyone was stunned and silenced!

    Shang Han took a few steps forward, and she could hardly identify the numbers of Lycanthropes that were there.

    ¡°This mission also offers umted scores reward, and it would be the same as hunting in the Northern Abyss, due to the high risk associated, the scores will also be doubled! How many kills have you obtained?¡±

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°There are four hundred and thirty-five cores!¡±

    Shang Han paused for a moment and continued, ¡°Great!¡±

    No wonder it was such an easy exploration, it was not because of the retreat of the Lycanthropes, but because they were all killed by Qin Feng!

    It was done within such a short amount of time, and they did not even realize it!

    The other B-tiers were shocked and in disbelief.

    While Shang Han was the only one that had immediately regretted her decision.

    ¡°Shouldn¡¯t have said that, anyways, this would be a big price to pay!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s continue!¡± Shang Han had no choice but to clench her teeth and fulfill her promise, and she could only expedite the progress of the exploration in hopes that there would not be any overpowered ultra beasts anymore!

 Chapter 515 - The Power of Dimension

    <h4>Chapter 515: The Power of Dimension</h4>

    Although the dimensional rift at Far Woond was not as big as the one at the Northern Abyss, the former¡¯s stability was much more vtile than thetter.

    The rest of the journey was not as smooth as Shang Han expected. There were more and more ultra beastsing their way the further they ventured.

    Luckily, Qin Feng was able to tear open a huge path along the way, like a tracker opening up its way on a snowfield.

    ¡°I¡¯m grateful that you¡¯re here, Governor Qin. If it were not for you, we would not be able to reach here so quickly. If it were only me and the others, we would need to fight our way non-stop for 3 days to reach here.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, Governor Qin is so strong. I¡¯m a B-tier and yet he¡¯s stronger than me. I¡¯m feeling so ashamed of myself!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s been 8 hours. I suppose we¡¯re really close to our destination now!¡±

    Everyone was overjoyed when they looked at their progress. Usually, if they were to venture into the Far Woond non-stop for 8 hours, they would all be totally worn out. However, this time they were able to zip through the ce with Qin Feng¡¯s aid. As for those materials and points... they did not think much of it¡ªthey now value their lives and progress more than those material things.

    The only one who would feel the pain of it was Shang Han.

    ¡°We¡¯re close!¡±

    Hearing this, Shang Han let out a sigh of relief.

    Qin Feng¡¯s undead army had expanded to a vast number in the span of 8 hours. Right now, Qin Feng did not even need to attack himself because the undead army would ughter anything that came their way. As of this moment, most ultra beasts that were in were all B-tiers. Thus, Qin Feng¡¯s points skyrocketed within a short period of time, reaching nearly 40,000 points!

    If Shang Han knew about Qin Feng¡¯s daily kill count, she might need to worry about whether Beihua City would have enough prizes to reward him.

    ¡°We¡¯re here!¡± A B-tier gunner cried out loudly when he saw the detector in his hand starting to beep.

    Shang Han quickly pulled out her lighting equipment.

    In an instant, their surroundings were now lit up.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator too was sounding its rm. However, what he saw with his own eyes was much more shocking than the sounds of his rm.

    There was a massive rift, about a few hundred meters wide, in this underground cave. It was like a massive entrance to the infinite abyss below. If they did not light up the ce to check their surroundings, they might have fallen straight into it.

    Suddenly, a silver beam red from the depths of the rift before a red, monstrous head poked out and leered at them.

    ¡°It¡¯s a Pyric Wyvern!¡±

    This ultra beast had a powerful aura, one that was as strong as a B-tier. And not only that, it was also a beast king!

    ¡°Be careful!¡± Shang Han cried out loudly.

    As soon as the wyvern saw Shang Han and her crew, it immediately widened its jaw and breathed a fume of fire at them. The fire breath was so powerful that it instantly vaporized the hundreds of monster corpses that Qin Feng was controlling earlier.

    However, thanks to the sacrifice of these undead creatures, Shang Han and the B-tier aptitude users were able to leap backward to evade the attack!

    The Pyric Wyvern extended its head further out of the rift, showing its long, massive neck. Its body that was still behind that rift was probably extremely gigantic!

    ¡°We can¡¯t let it out!¡± Shang Han¡¯s voice trembled as she barked out her order. As soon as she evaded the fire breath, Shang Han immediately dashed forward to the gigantic beast.

    She must y this Pyric Wyvern, no matter what it took!

    Still, if she were to enter the rift... who knew what other threats could be waiting for her on the other side of the rift?

    And it was then, a silhouette zipped past Shang Han like a strike of lightning.

    Whip!

    A loud whipnded on the gigantic rift and sparked a bloom of silver res!

    Then, severalyers of dimensional runes appeared around the rift and forced it to close¡ªlike an extremely sharp knife shing through the rift.

    The huge wyvern head that was posing a great deal of threat suddenly stopped moving!

    It was Bai Li! She had used her dimensional abilities to cut the wyvern¡¯s head off!

    The area was brimming with dimensional energy. As such, Bai Li was like a God in this area!

    In fact, Bai Li was able to use her dimensional powers that were as small as her fist to tear out an S-tier¡¯s arm when she was in her growing state. Now, she had grown much stronger than that.

    Thud!

    The wyvern head dropped to the ground, with its eyes still wide open.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Feng ordered the Vajra Ape that he had tamed with his conscious energy. The ape quickly rushed forward and grabbed the wyvern¡¯s horns. After struggling for a few seconds, the ape carried the massive wyvern head over its head with its strong arms.

    ¡°Pfftt...¡±

    Blood was still spraying out of the wyvern head¡¯s neck.

    Qin Feng took out arge water tank, as huge as two meters wide, and filled it up with the wyvern¡¯s blood.

    In an instant, a vigorous energy gushed out and spread through the area!

    ¡°It¡¯s... it¡¯s the blood of the Pyric Wyvern!¡± Shang Han¡¯s eyes widened with joy as she saw this.

    The blood of the Pyric Wyvern was a highly-prized treasure!

    Qin Feng too did not expect to acquire such a treasure and ughter a B-tier Beast king in this trip.

    Not only that, Qin Feng knew that there would be a crystal core hidden inside this B-tier beast king¡¯s head.

    A B-tier beast king core could him 200 billion in one go!

    As such, it was quite expected for the other B-tiers to look at him in envy now¡ªall these prized materials would not go to their pockets because the one who did the work was Bai Li.

    ¡°Dear Governor Qin, I would like to purchase that blood of the Pyric Wyvern from you, is that alright? I¡¯ve recently gotten stuck in my training progress and this would definitely help me to smooth it out. Don¡¯t worry about the money. I can totally afford the price!¡±

    ¡°Governor Qin, I want to buy some from you too!¡±

    ¡°Me too! Me too!¡±

    Two ancient warriors and a gunner pleaded to Qin Feng excitedly.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°I can only sell you a total of 2000 milliliters. I need it for other uses myself!¡±

    Two thousand milliliters could fill only a kettle. Yet, to most people, that was already more than enough. However, this was a B-tier wyvern blood after all. Qin Feng did not want these people to re-sell it to others, which couldplicate matters for him.

    It wasmon for one to get into trouble if the public knew that he was keeping a prized treasure to himself. Qin Feng had run into various kinds of trouble due to keeping those D-tier Deca Turtles. This one was a B-tier, which would make the matter worse for him.

    ¡°Yes, this is enough!¡±

    ¡°Yes. We know the rules. This is more than enough for me!¡±

    Qin Feng traded the blood with them on the spot. By selling these to them, each kettle of wyvern bloodted him a few trillion.

    The B-tier beast king was a prized treasure indeed.

    After handling the crew¡¯s greed for the wyvern blood, Qin Feng asked Bai Li to put the rest of the wyvern blood and the wyvern head into her pocket dimension.

    It was then the crew started to observe Bai Li.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t know Ms Bai was so strong!¡± Shang Han said curiously. She took a good look at Bai Li with a keen interest.

    In response, Bai Li beamed up an exquisite smile at her.

    ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing. I have a God Weapon with me. That schmuck Guang Wei chased me and Qin Feng out because of this baby!¡±

    Bai Li presented Shang Han her spatial whip. The weapon had a silver glow on it, showing its qualities in dimension maniption.

    Even though she had read about it from Yuan Hao¡¯s report, this was the first time Shang Han got to witness the whip¡¯s powers. She could now finally understand why Guang Wei did what he did.

    Thus, to her ears, Shang Han felt that Bai Li¡¯s words had a thread of cautious hostility, seemingly testing to see if she would be a threat to her and Qin Feng.

    However, unbeknownst to Shang Han, Bai Li was merely trying to shift Shang Han¡¯s attention away from her by presenting the weapon.

    And in a way, she was sessful in doing so.

    As for the others, they had all heard of Qin Feng¡¯s fame and reputation. Yet now, they saw that he also had a girlfriend who was as beautiful as a goddess, making them even more envious of him.

 Chapter 516 - The Greedy Vixen

    <h4>Chapter 516: The Greedy Vixen</h4>

    ¡°Since this is a God Weapon that could manipte dimensions, I wonder if... if this thing can seal this whole ce up? If the rift in Far Woond is gone, that would mean we¡¯re all safe, right?¡± the Wood ability user asked.

    As soon as everyone heard this, they all looked at Bai Li expectantly. Their hearts started to beat fast.

    This ability user was right. In fact, his idea was even better than what Shang Han had in mind!

    If they could seal up this rift, would that mean that they could also do the same to the other rifts too?

    If this could be done, that would mean Earth could finally return to its former peaceful state and not be invaded by all kinds of dimensions.

    As everyone was excited by the idea, Bai Li wasmunicating with Qin Feng using her consciousness.

    ¡°Should I tell them?¡±

    ¡°Do you think you can fix this ce up when the dimensional energy is so vtile here? Can you seal it?¡±

    ¡°Yes, I can. But in doing so, there¡¯s a huge price to pay. It would be much easier for me to just morph this ce into something simr to the one in Northern Abyss.¡±

    ¡°Alright, tell Shang Han that you can turn the ce into one that is simr to Northern Abyss!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Theirmunication was done very quickly¡ªthere was no need for speech as they weremunicating telepathically. The whole conversation was done in the blink of an eye.

    To the others, it seemed like all Bai Li did was nce around briefly before realizing something and looked back at them. Bai Li announced loudly in an exaggerated tone, ¡°After I¡¯ve acquired this God Weapon, I¡¯ve spent a lot of time researching it. So, I am quite confident in my skills in regards to dimensions. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that I¡¯m now a Master of Dimensions!¡±

    Hearing this, even Shang Han got excited. Ignoring her reputation as an A-tier aptitude user, her attitude toward Bai Li was now more humbling, ¡°Indeed, Mistress Bai. We¡¯ve seen what you could do earlier. We are so amazed!¡±

    Bai Li was able to y a B-tier beast king in less than a second. This was more than enough to prove to them that she was indeed incredibly capable in manipting dimensions.

    Bai Li nodded to Shang Han. ¡°Far Woond¡¯s situation here is far moreplicated than the others. In fact, the ce is like a massive void... let¡¯s say that Earth is a Secret Territory itself. Then, the whole ce should be round in shape, right? However, inparison, Far Woond isn¡¯t entirely round in shape. It has a massive whole that is knotted firmly with another whole dimension!¡±

    ¡°Even though the area inside the void is constantly fixing itself, the area outside is always tearing itself apart. That is why the size of the rift keeps changing in size!¡±

    Everyone nodded their heads after hearing this. Although they too had some understanding behind the workings of dimensional runes, no one was entirely sure of how the whole thing worked. Thus, to them, Bai Li¡¯s understanding of the art was rather uniquely fascinating to them.

    ¡°Then, is there a way to fix the void?¡± Shang Han asked in a concerned tone.

    Bai Li answered, ¡°I can fix the region and maintain it. However, we don¡¯t have the dimensional rune for this ce. The runes have been lost for a long time now. I¡¯m not a dimensional aptitude user myself, so it¡¯s quite impossible for me to seal the ce up with the whip alone.¡±

    Bai Lipletely denied that she could seal up the unknown region. Shang Han and the others did not doubt her at all.

    Even though they were a little disappointed in hearing this, they felt that this could not be helped. The task was too phenomenally difficult anyway. If Bai Li could indeed fix all the dimensional rifts, this would be astonishing news to the whole world! This would mean that she could save the entire human race!

    This was also why Qin Feng did not want to expose Bai Li¡¯s ability to anyone before she had a full grasp of her abilities.

    Nheless, Qin Feng also did not intend to not do anything either.

    After seeing everyone¡¯s obvious disappointment, Bai Li beamed up with a sly smile, ¡°However, I¡¯ve been to the Northern Abyss. This whole ce is maintained fairly well. I think I can morph Far Woond into something simr to the Northern Abyss. However, this would mean that we¡¯ll need to expand the Unknown Region to three timesrger than what it is now.¡±

    Making the regionrger would make it much easier for Bai Li.

    After hearing this, Shang Han¡¯s eyes widened with joy. ¡°Mistress Bai, please go ahead and make it into an Unknown Region simr to the Northern Abyss. If you need anything, just say the word. The entire northern Human Alliance would do everything to support you!¡±

    Bai Li nodded. ¡°Alright, if that¡¯s the case, I¡¯d like to have 180 C-tier beast emperor crystal cores and 50 B-tier beast emperor crystal cores. Oh, and also I¡¯d like an A-tier... hmff mmfffff!!¡±

    Qin Feng quickly put a hand on Bai Li¡¯s mouth to stop her from saying further.

    Wow... this greedy little vixen... she had the guts to ask for so many things in return!

    ¡°Hahahaha! She¡¯s just joking, guys. Don¡¯t mind her!¡± Qin Fengughed.

    Shang Han looked at them and said with a serious tone, ¡°Stabilizing Far Woond is for the good of Beihua City. Doing so can also ensure the safety of the entire north side of our country. So, this is noughing matter. We don¡¯t have that many C-tier beast emperor cores in our warehouses. But we could still part 50 cores for her. As for the B-tier beast emperor cores, I could hunt them myself. Still, we¡¯ve got 10 of them in our warehouses. Would these be enough to satisfy her needs?¡±

    Qin Feng was so speechless. He did not think Shang Han would agree to this seriously.

    However, it did not take long for him to realize that Shang Han probably thought that Bai Li wanted to use the crystal cores to stabilize the dimensions¡ªshe did not know that Bai Li only wanted to snack on those.

    Bai Li pulled Qin Feng¡¯s hand away and rolled her eyes. ¡°Well, this should be enough, I suppose!¡±

    Shang Han let out a sigh of relief. Even though spending these would bring some red on Beihua City¡¯s ledger, this small loss could notpare to the loss of many lives of aptitude users every year.

    If she could make Far Woond into an Unknown Region like the Northern Abyss, Beihua City could use this to gain more benefits in the future!

    ¡°Sure. I¡¯ll get my men to get the items for you as soon I get back. Oh, do you need more manpower, Mistress Bai?¡±

    Bai Li waved her hand and said, ¡°Nah, there¡¯s no need to call others for help. They¡¯re all too weak. I only need Qin Feng with me.¡±

    It was quite obvious that Bai Li did not think too highly of the others, including Shang Han and the four B-tier aptitude users.

    The four B-tier aptitude users were feeling quite awkward at the time. If Bai Li were to say this before entering Far Woond, they would certainly be enraged by this. However, now that they had witnessed what Qin Feng and Bai Li could do, they could not say anything to protest her.

    ¡®This Bai Li... no wonder she doesn¡¯t seem to have a care in the world at all on the road. I thought she¡¯s just a sweet little flower vase that Qin Feng decided to bring along! And I thought he wasn¡¯t treating this seriously!¡¯

    ¡®Looks like Bai Li is already used to Qin Feng being so powerful. It¡¯s understandable that she¡¯s looking down on us...¡¯

    ¡®What a pair of powerful love birds!¡¯

    Everyone mumbled quietly in their heart.

    Qin Feng opened his mouth tenderly, ¡°It¡¯ll be all on Bai Li in the next few days, no worries. I¡¯ll guard the rift over here. You may send some men here to help with the guard duty 3 dayster.¡±

    ¡°Sure. But are you sure you could morph the whole ce into an Unknown Region like the Northern Abyss?¡±

    After all, there were a lot of ultra beasts in Far Woond. Shang Han might need to send an army over to help keep the peace after these three days.

    ¡°Of course. We can begin at any time!¡±

    The guard duty or peacekeeping in the new Far Woond could be handledter. However, their expedition today was over.

    Still, there was no way Qin Feng could allow Bai Li to stabilize the riftpletely. If she did that, there was no way he could exin the need for the crystal cores Bai Li asked for earlier.

 Chapter 517 - Unexpected Beastly Feast

    <h4>Chapter 517: Unexpected Beastly Feast</h4>

    Regardless, they were able to get some unexpected benefits from this expedition. At the very least, they were able to secure some snacks for Bai Li!

    Qin Feng suggested that the crew head back to avoid unexpectedplications. The others agreed too¡ªthey understood that Bai Li did not seem to think too highly of them.

    Even though they felt disgraced, there was nothing they could do other than acknowledge it. It was true, after all, that Qin Feng was so much more powerful than them!

    After they had gone back via the hover copter, the clock had already struck 6 o¡¯clock in the evening. The final round of the Prodigy Tournament was now probably over too.

    Qin Feng was quite surprised to learn that the champion was Li Wangshen from Chongyuan state. Jin Fei, on the other hand, was able to defeat Du Wa and got himself second ce.

    Zhou Hao was doing quite well himself too¡ªseizing himself the sixth ce in the ranking.

    Nheless, the result was still quite a shocker to most. There were at least two E6batants from Hanchuan state, and yet they were all kicked out of the rings.

    It would seem that luck was also part of the equation in winning in the tournament.

    Qin Feng had given Jin Fei and Zhou Hao a lot of resources. If both of them trained day and night after this, it was a matter of time before they ascended to D-tiers.

    ¡°Now that we¡¯ve solved Bai Li¡¯s nutritional needs, let¡¯s have a look at what else I can redeem with my points!¡±

    Qin Feng took a good nce at the menu. Beihua was a city that had been established for nearly 200 years, so it had quite a lot to offer.

    Even though there were a lot of people redeeming items constantly, their warehouse would still have enough to restock everything.

    Their resources were seemingly endless as a result of umting them up consistently in thest 200 years.

    After giving it a good scan, Qin Feng could not find anything better than the Armor of Vajrayana that he got on him. There were still a few great weapons and armors but they did seem to be suitable for him.

    As for those C-tier and B-tier Rune Equipment that were made from ultra beast materials, Qin Feng could just craft them himself.

    ¡°I¡¯ll look at the abilities that they are selling then!¡±

    This was probably the only thing Qin Feng needed on the menu now.

    ¡°Oh, they have Fire Wall!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s eyes lit up with joy.

    Fire Wall was a defensive skill that would form a barrier of fire around the user. The user could manipte the fire that was lit around from within the barrier to his liking. Other than that, the more runes one had, the wider the barrier could extend.

    This was a really powerful Fire-type ability. If the user was a Fire-type ability user, he could even turn himself into a humanoid of fire.

    As for the user¡¯s foes, they would bepletely under his mercy within the Fire Wall.

    Qin Feng could still remember that he died in an ultra beast¡¯s Electric Wall before he was reborn.

    ¡°I wonder if this Fire Wall could fight against that ultra beast¡¯s Electric Wall!¡±

    Qin Feng took a quick glimpse at the points needed to redeem the ability¡ªit cost 80,000 points. However, Qin Feng smirked as he looked at his own points.

    ording to the rate in Beihua City, a B-tier ultra beast would him 50 points, beast soldier 500 points, beast general 5000 points, and beast king 50,000 points. Besides, Shang Han agreed to a double-rate boost before venturing into Far Woond.

    So now, even though Qin Feng had only 40,000 points with him, Bai Li had over 100,000 points herself!

    Shang Han did not dare to take away Bai Li¡¯s points earlier since she needed her help in stabilizing the rift.

    As such, Qin Feng summoned Bai Li over to redeem the Fire Wall ability.

    Then, Qin Feng took a look at the Dark-type abilities... and regretfully, there was no Dark Wall on the list.

    Still, this was expected. Dark-type ability was rare. It was quite difficult to find a Dark-type or Light-type ability user in the world after all.

    Seeing that there was nothing that interested him anymore, Qin Feng decided to stop redeeming items and asked Bai Li to take out the Pyric Wyvern¡¯s crystal core while waiting for the items to be delivered to him.

    This crystal core was huge, about a meter wide. And there was a powerful energy swirling fiercely inside the core.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his ability and absorbed the crystal core into his consciousness. The power of the Pyric Wyvern instantly flooded into him, strengthening his conscious powers.

    Booom!

    In less than a second, Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was boosted to a new height¡ªhe had ascended to C1-tier.

    However, that was not all!

    Boooom!

    C2!

    Boooom!

    C3!

    He ascended several times in one go! His ascension speed was so phenomenal!

    Not only that, he could make arge number of fire runes flood into his Diamond Starglobe.

    Now, there was a huge fiery dragon on the surface of the globe. This was not the dragon Qin Feng knew from the oriental culture¡ªthis dragon was more like the wyvern from the western culture.

    And it was very gigantic too!

    He had acquired a new ability. This ability was about the same as the Fire Dragon Style; but this one had a powerful Fire Wyvern Breath that could cover an extremely wide area in hellish fire. This skill would be perfect for pinning down enemies from a high ground.

    Knock Knock Knock!

    Someone was knocking on the door.

    Bai Li quickly went ahead and opened the door to receive the item.

    It was a ten-meter long fire-type beast skin.

    ¡°Huh, it¡¯s huge!¡±

    Qin Feng was surprised to see the ability. He did not study much about abilities before he was reborn. However, he knew that it was not easy to learn an ability.

    ¡°Luckily, I have my Absorption Ability!¡±

    Thus, he activated the ability again.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    The fire runes on the beast skin started to be absorbed into Qin Feng¡¯s Diamond Starglobe. The Fire runes started to form a massive diagram that emitted fiery energy.

    This ability was quite difficult to master. An ability user could learn when he was at C-tier but it was so difficult to master that even a B-tier would find it hard to use it properly.

    As Qin Feng was learning and training his new ability, there was a massive change behind the Far Woond rift.

    The Pyric Wyvern¡¯s head was cut down as soon as it poked its head out to the other side. From the size of the giant head, it was not hard for one to imagine just how gigantic its body was¡ªit was probably as huge as a mountain!

    The blood that was spilling everywhere from its now cleanly cut neck had a lot of benefits not only for humans but also to ultra beasts.

    Thus, right now there was a huge crowd of monsters surrounding the Pyric Wyvern¡¯s corpse¡ªthey were all trying to get a bite of the beast king¡¯s flesh.

    After gulping the wyvern¡¯s meat down, the ultra beasts began to mutate and they became stronger!

    As the smell of blood fumed in the air, a herd of powerful Bloodfrenzy Bulls rushed over to the wyvern¡¯s corpse.

 Chapter 518 - Crisis At The Border

    <h4>Chapter 518: Crisis At The Border</h4>

    These Bloodfrenzy Bulls had incredible strength and traveled in herds. They quickly drove away lower level ultra beasts that wandered nearby, wanting to enjoy the food for themselves.

    But soon, a pride of C3-tier Luminous Lions stepped onto the scene. These lions stood on top of the food chain, and even the Bloodfrenzy Bulls were considered as their prey.

    As such, the bulls could only abandon their meal and scatter!

    A C-tier Bloodfrenzy Bull king took the lead and charged right into the spatial rift while the others stampeded behind it to follow suit.

    The lions ignored the delicious looking bulls and tore into the Pyric Wyvern.

    Then, a venture ofrge ming birds appeared to drive the lions away.

    Most of these ultra beasts had passed through the spatial rift in the Far Woond.

    On Earth, the cracks deep underground were getting overwhelmed and started to get bigger and bigger.

    The rift was unstable, as more and more ultra beasts rushed through it started to grow in size.

    Eventually,rger ultra beasts began to pull themselves out of the rift.

    These ultra beasts came in all manner of freakish forms that went againstprehensible geometry but they were incredibly powerful. As they entered Earth, the rift was split open even further in their wake.

    The weakest among these ultra beasts were C2 tier and even more powerful ultra beasts continued to pour from the rift.

    A beast wave had unexpectedly broken out while everyone was underprepared!

    The Far Woond rift was like arge mouth that could not stop vomiting, the ultra beast numbers continued to rise as they spread out in all directions.

    The powerful ultra beasts drove away the weaker ones before extending outward. Now, they hade to this strange world not necessarily to seek its destruction but to find food.

    When there were not enough things for them to hunt down, they would naturally start viewing humanity as a snack as well.

    While Qin Feng had been sleeping soundly, a shrill rm started to sound at 4 o¡¯clock in the morning and spread throughout the city.

    ¡°Beep beep! Attention all aptitude users. A beast wave has urred in the Far Woond. Please go there immediately!¡±

    Qin Feng was startled and immediately got out of bed. Bai Li did the same, waking up as well.

    Bai Li had gotten used to this kind of atmosphere due to her familiarity with the human lifestyle, even though these kinds of threats did not truly worry her!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng quickly pulled on hisbat uniform while Bai Li slipped into an easy-to-wear dress and jumped out of the window along with Qin Feng.

    The two of them instantlynded on the roof of the building next to the hotel.

    ¡°Beep beep! The air ban has been lifted. Requesting all hover copter owners to arrive as soon as possible!¡±

    Qin Feng opened up a space and pulled out the Sky Dweller.

    At this time, Beihua City was still bustling despite the early morning!

    Beihua City was huge and the aptitude users in it were also the pinnacle of the Northern Territory. It was not a safe ce, but it was able to be established thanks to the protection of these aptitude users.

    They were all heroes, brave warriors in their own right.

    One by one, they quickly mobilized and hopped onto rooftops.

    However, not all of them had hover copters.

    It was not because they were not rich enough, but it was because they did not have arge enough spatial rune equipment to keep one in.

    Of course, for a B-tier aptitude user. Something like this was a necessity.

    Chuf chuf!

    A hovercopter flew up into the air and opened its cabin doors before dropping down adder.

    The hover copter flew at a very low altitude and by the time thedder was less than ten meters away from the rooftop, a bunch of aptitude users had already bounced forward to scale up into the hover copter.

    This way the hover copter could carry as many passengers as it could while staying in flight before flying away.

    Qin Feng pushed a button and the Sky Dweller flew into the sky.

    ¡°Bai Li, lower thedder!¡±

    ¡°On it!¡±

    Bai Li looked at the other buttons in the hover copter¡¯s cockpit and managed to understand the critical situation, pressing the button that lowered thedder without a moment¡¯s hesitation.

    Soon, there were aptitude users scaling thedder.

    Beihua City¡¯s sky was filled with hundreds of hover copters!

    Counting the amount of people they carried, one trip to the Far Woonds would have them drop off up to a thousand people.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Sky Dweller very quickly umted up to twenty people, but they naturally did not have any ce to sit in. Bai Li sat in the co-pilot seat while the others were in the cabin. Some people onboard came over to thank Qin Feng for the journey but were surprised to learn that he was a C-tier aptitude user.

    However, their more pressing issue was the beast wave outbreak.

    ¡°Any news from the front?¡±

    ¡°Got it right here. Ten minutes ago there was a beast wave sighting, but it was thought to be only about a hundred or so at first and nothing worth worrying about. It started to increase again after the first one was wiped out by artillery fire. The garrison there felt that something was wrong and asked for reinforcements!¡±

    ¡°Increase? By how much? Don¡¯t tell me this is going to be a waste of time!¡±

    These kinds of things were not umon, since the battlefield was constantly changing.

    ¡°That news was ten minutes ago! Now the garrison reports up to a number around two thousand something! Surveince drones have been sent out and whole herds of them! Who knows if they would rush over!¡±

    ¡°Whoa! Looks like the Far Woond beast wave is fiercer today!¡±

    ¡°Get ready!¡±

    Everyone had a grim look on their faces as they checked the surveince footage that the drones had uploaded and began to analyze what they were seeing.

    ¡°Bulls? I¡¯ve fought them before, aim for their stomachs and their sides!¡±

    ¡°Luminous Lions, a kind of lion-like ultra beast that can emit a strong dazzling light which can disorient your vision and move very fast! Best we bring some protective eyewear. No... best we avoid confrontation entirely!¡±

    ¡°Spirit Stalkers, best you stay away if you have a weak consciousness!¡±

    ¡°Fire Rocs, flying ultra beasts have appeared!¡±

    This analysis was absolutely necessary. They were facing C-tier ultra beasts and these aptitude users were only C-tier.

    They had no chance in a solo confrontation with even one of those beasts.

    It was best to fight the ones they were good at and avoid any weaknesses, or they would be as good as dead!

    Qin Feng stayed quiet. These ultra beasts were no match for him at all.

    But with the appearance of the Fire Rocs, the drones had nowhere to hide. As self proimed lords of the sky, flying things naturally drew their attention and would be destroyed.

    The Sky Dweller was given modifications such as an aircraft power source and technology from the Floating City After leaving Beihua City, Qin Feng kept on elerating.

    ¡°Yo bro, this is a kickass hover copter! Is it modified?¡± A gunner onboard noticed his surroundings and felt like he had to ask.

    ¡°Mhmm!¡± Qin Feng only nodded, he did not speak due to the fact that he was piloting.

    Whoosh!

    Another hover copter was left behind by Qin Feng.

    As they passed by, the aptitude user passengers could see the faces of the other pilots in the other hover copters from behind their reinforced ss windows.

    One hover copter suddenly elerated, as if trying to race Qin Feng.

    However the gap between the two hover copters was just too big.

    Qin Feng passed hover copter after hover copter, showing no signs of slowing down.

    The passengers in his hover copter secretly had a refreshed feeling in their hearts. It was kind of entertaining to watch the faces of the other pilots who ate their dust, frustrated at the fact that they could not catch up.

 Chapter 519 - The Dazzling Sky Dweller

    <h4>Chapter 519: The Dazzling Sky Dweller</h4>

    Swish! Swish! Swish!

    One by one, the hover copters were all left behind by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Sheesh, where did this second-rate machinee from? Going at that speed is suicide!¡±

    ¡°How dare he overtake me? Is my title of ¡®Rocket King¡¯ for nothing?¡±

    ¡°Oi! The nerve! What? You think your machine¡¯s better than mine?¡±

    Many of the overtaken aptitude users were actually gunners, who immediately refused to ept this defeat and began to elerate.

    But they would only end up eating Qin Feng¡¯s dust whenever they tried.

    Within a moment, Qin Feng became the leader of a line of hover copters.

    Not everyone in the Sky Dweller¡¯s cabin was enjoying the outside view. One of them suddenly said, ¡°This is the Sky Dweller, I¡¯ve used one before. It¡¯s fast but light and can¡¯t carry any missiles but how is this one so fast?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s probably modified!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s pretty cool, I mean if this machine¡¯s used in actualbat then it should be able to quickly make an escape!¡±

    ¡°We should ask how this thing was made when we get back!¡±

    Everyone¡¯s previously grim looks began to rx a little.

    With Qin Feng¡¯s eleration, they ended up reaching the border in about 15 minutes instead of the usual 40 minutes!

    The others naturally sped up to try and catch up but the hover copter was fast and the best they could do was maintain visuals on the tail end of the Sky Dweller.

    ¡°Twreet!¡±

    The air was abruptly filled with bird song.

    Everyone¡¯s expressions fell.

    ¡°Ultra beasts!¡±

    The consciousness and perceptions of everyone onboard quickly spread out and soon found the target.

    It was flitting about in the air ahead, below it was the Far Woond¡¯s border wall!

    All they could see in the distance was a moving ck blur. When internal force or consciousness was used in their attempts, they could see that the beast wave was on the move and was attacking the walls.

    The flying ultra beasts would also swoop down from the sky at any moment, one managing to scoop up a border guard from Beihua City during its diving attack!

    ¡°Aaaah!¡±

    A despair-filled wail rose in the air.

    The border guard was then quickly torn to shreds by the flying ultra beast while the plummeting scraps were snatched up by other surrounding creatures.

    It was at this moment that some of the ultra beasts noticed Qin Feng¡¯s approaching Sky Dweller and immediately rushed over.

    The aptitude users in his cabin started to turn pale.

    ¡°Giant Elder Eagles, C5 tier!¡±

    Of all the present aptitude users, there were only two that were C5 tier. What was more, humans could not normally defeat ultra beasts that were the same level as they were all by themselves.

    Now that twenty or so of these things were flying at them, the sense of fear overwhelmed them.

    ¡°We need to run! Turn around!¡± Fortunately, there were other teams behind them. As long as they could turn around and regroup for abined attack then they still had a chance at ensuring their safety!

    But that was their idea, not Qin Feng¡¯s.

    He did not slow down and continued forward at top speed.

    Meanwhile, the gunners in the other hover copters that refused to admit defeat were naturally taken aback by the scene they were witnessing.

    ¡°Haha, that kid in the front went so fast that he encountered ultra beasts first! Why don¡¯t you fly back to Daddy and let him take care of it?¡±

    The other gunners were also gloating at this supposed misfortune.

    ¡°What¡¯s the point of going fast? How are we supposed to evennd in that?¡±

    ¡°Is that kid nuts? He¡¯s still going forward? I can see it now, the broken debris of a hover copter. I feel sorry for the unlucky guys onboard to have met such a nutcase!¡±

    Meanwhile, back on the Sky Dweller.

    An aptitude user with ring eyes stepped forward into the cockpit to confront Qin Feng.

    ¡°Are you insane? That¡¯s a C5 tier ultra beast. We need to turn back, this hover copter¡¯s model¡¯s only known for speed and it doesn¡¯t have any shields...¡±

    Before he could finish, he saw a brilliant blue sh of light from the cockpit window.

    This blue light burst out and very quickly struck a Giant Elder Eagle.

    The eagle was absolutely massive. It was twelve meters tall and had the wingspan of fifteen meters. It was about as big as the Sky Dweller. No wonder people thought that the Sky Dweller stood no chance, it was too big!

    However, this ray of light pierced through the eagle¡¯s body in an instant and tore through two other eagles that were flying behind it.

    Three birds with one shot!

    The Giant Elder Eagles did not even struggle as their bodies plummeted to the ground like stones, their aurapletely gone.

    The aptitude user who came to reprimand Qin Feng was dumbfounded.

    The other aptitude users felt like they had a lump in their throat,pletely at a loss for words.

    ¡°Brace!¡±

    Qin Feng called out and the Sky Dweller abruptly shifted to the left.

    Then it unleashed another blue ray of light.

    There were four other Giant Elder Eagles flying in a single file formation, with one of them somewhatgging behind. After the three in front of it were destroyed by the blue ray, it looked like the fourth was not quick enough to avoid the beam, seeming as if it had deliberately mmed into the ray and proceeded to get its head blown off!

    The passengers in the Sky Dweller managed to stabilize themselves, using internal force to hold themselves to the cabin floor and maintaining their bnce.

    Woosh!

    The Sky Dweller began to do a barrel roll.

    By then, the other Giant Elder Eagles had noticed Qin Feng¡¯s presence. These rays of light were too powerful, the light was very bright and this thing had killed off seven of theirrades, how could they just let Qin Feng get away?

    ¡°Skree!¡±

    A Giant Elder Eagle pped its wings and rushed toward the Sky Dweller like a cannonball.

    Qin Feng immediately tried to draw out the distance between them before firing out a beam of energy.

    Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!

    In the blink of an eye, seven of those eagles were plummeting toward the ground.

    Such urate calctions were amazing, but what really shocked people was the power of his energy cannon.

    A condensed beam capable of piercing through the enemy with ease. It had to have at least the power of a B-tier. How else would it be possible to kill seven ultra beasts in one go?

    After the seven eagles fell, the sky no longer seemed to have that overcast feeling to it. Now there were only four to five eagles left. They shrieked as they saw Qin Feng¡¯s Sky Dweller and scattered in all directions.

    ¡°Heh,¡± Qin Feng smirked and the side cannons on both sides of the hovercopter roared to life.

    This time, what appeared was not an energy cannon but tracing missiles.

    A total of five missiles locked onto exactly five Giant Elder Eagles.

    The Giant Elder Eagle did not have the same powers as a gunner did. They could not redirect ballistics. The best they could do was fly faster, but the missiles were even faster as they caught up in the blink of an eye.

    The missiles collided with their targets in an instant.

    Psst!

    When the missile burst, there was no fiery explosion, instead there was a glow of prismatic light. After the light faded, the Giant Elder Eagle seemed to be encased in crystal before its crystallized form shattered!

    ¡°A Dposition Cannon!¡±

    Everyone looked at Qin Feng in amazement.

 Chapter 520 - Iâ€™ll Speak For Myself

    <h4>Chapter 520: I¡¯ll Speak For Myself</h4>

    A dposition ster¡¯s high rank meant that it was a very advanced piece of technology. The dposition cannon was naturally more powerful but it came with a massive drawback.

    Unless there were no better alternatives, it was better off not being used.

    That was because there would be no loot left to pick up after it hits a target.

    When Qin Feng used the dposition cannon, each st cost 50 million and 5 would have cost 2.5 billion. He fired them off without even so much as blinking.

    This kid could not possibly be a new and rich upstart, right?

    Everyone in the cabin muttered amongst themselves, but their attitude toward Qin Feng was changing for the better. Although thatst move may have seemed a bit foolish to them, the previous moves he did were very impressive and efficient.

    Qin Feng quicklynded on the hugending pad, the other hover copters that were following him started to simultaneously arrive.

    When they saw him rush ahead earlier and take down about 20 Giant Elder Eagles, anyints that they would have had about him before were dispelled.

    The border was at war and it was a desperate situation. Was there anything more important than killing ultra beasts and defending a country?

    They even had a sense of admiration, thinking that Qin Feng was decisive and skilled.

    ¡°Everyone, we¡¯re here. Get off the hover copter!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s voice rang out.

    The people in the cabin felt as if they had just snapped out of a dream.

    By now they realized that the cabin door had already been opened.

    ¡°Ah! Right, right!¡±

    ¡°Yo, my dude, your gunner skills are pretty impressive. Here¡¯s an idea, you and I should team up!¡±

    ¡°Hey, be considerate. Add me in too!¡±

    Everyone looked at Qin Feng with admiration and naturally wanted to fight alongside Qin Feng.

    With such a gunner as their support, they would be able to kill plenty of ultra beasts.

    ¡°Everyone, get off first. I need to store the hover copter!¡±

    Qin Feng started to stand up.

    Everyone was confused for a moment. Store the hover copter?

    When Qin Feng was already outside of the cabin, the other aptitude users who needed to get out of his way started to spill out of the hover copter.

    He raised his hand and put the Sky Dweller away.

    After he had done so, the other hover coptersnded and their cabin doors opened one after the other.

    ¡°Huh, it¡¯s actually Qin Feng!¡± A B-tier said when he saw him, then thought, ¡®why is he everywhere?¡¯

    However, not everyone recognized Qin Feng. Not everyone had gone to the arena and watched the Prodigy Tournament. Sometimes, the life of an aptitude user was a very busy one.

    ¡°You¡¯re not going to be air support? Why did you put your hover copter away?¡± A passenger from his hover copter asked.

    ¡°Man, don¡¯t tell me that was just some one-time heroic moment. Did you use up all your energy?¡±

    ¡°How did you modify your hover copter?¡±

    ¡°Where can I buy something like that?¡±

    Qin Feng did not stop for conversation this time, ¡°When the battle is over, go to the Fengli Organization and you can modify yours to be like mine!¡±

    ¡°Fengli Organization?¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡±

    ¡°Oh yeah! I think I saw an ad about it a while ago!¡±

    The people who knew Qin Feng held back theirughter. After all, Qin Feng was genuinely rmending his group but after thinking about his origins, they felt that everything seemed logical. Qin Feng did take over the Grans¡¯ Floating City and the Fengli Organization sold firearms!

    The gunners among them made a mental note to get some modificationster. There were other aptitude users who had also nned to buy a hover copter, it would be a saving grace to have that kind of speed when trying to escape in the wilderness.

    At this moment, there was a roar in the distance. Everyone did not ask for details and immediately went toward the wall.

    It sounded like it was only a hundred meters away!

    Qin Feng and Bai Li moved side by side and in the blink of an eye the two were once again ahead of the group.

    He did not unleash a great power either, but he moved at an astonishing speed. When his Dragon Steps were activated, there was nobody that could keep up with him.

    Some of the C-tiers found that incredible, but the B-tiers did not try to challenge that since they knew who he was.

    Instead, they were more curious.

    ¡®Previously, Qin Feng had always gained a lot from the Northern Abyss, I don¡¯t know what his true strength is!¡¯

    ¡®I want to see how powerful this guy is!¡¯

    ¡®If he performed like how he did in the Northern Abyss, I¡¯m pretty sure he can deal with this beast wave all by himself!¡¯

    While everyone had this train of thought, Qin Feng did not think that he would be able to deal with a monster wave all on his own.

    The power of a single individual was limited.

    The strongest among the humans had a primary task when fighting a monster wave: Take out the biggest and strongest things in said wave. It was to prevent the stronger ultra beasts from wiping out the weaker humans.

    That was the only way to deal with a beast wave.

    The moment Qin Feng leapt over the border wall, he discovered a powerful presence within the beast wave.

    It was a ten meter tall savage looking bull that was charging forward despite the constant artillery bombardment, it was already a hundred meters away from the wall.

    With the size of this bull, a hundred meter charge would lead to more than just an impact!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was mobilized in a sh and a huge burst of me appeared above his head. The me continuously expanded and in the blink of an eye it reached a diameter of ten meters.

    It was as if there was a molten floating above his head.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    He thrusted both hands forward and sent the molten rushing outward.

    Whoosh!

    The fireball exploded as it collided with the bull¡¯s body.

    The bull was only a C2 beast king and Qin Feng already had the consciousness of a C3 beast emperor. Against the bull, the results were crushing.

    As the molten mmed into the bull beast king, it dug its hooves into the ground as if to brace itself but ended up getting sent flying backward. There was a huge gorge left in the wake of the impact, along with a charred corpse.

    ¡°Nice!¡± The highly stressed gunners who had been sting at the beast king cried out their praises and looked for the new attacker.

    To their horror, they saw Qin Feng, an ability user, jump off the wall and fall into the iing beast wave.

    They were reeling. Should an ability user not be standing on the wall and firing out abilities left and right?

    Was this guy insane? Did he jump down tomit suicide?

    But they could not stop Qin Feng at all, they could only helplessly watch Qin Feng as he sank into the sea of ultra beasts.

    Qin Feng went in deep without backup and suddenly a group of ultra beasts smelled the scent of food.

 Chapter 521 - Beast Wave Outbreak

    <h4>Chapter 521: Beast Wave Outbreak</h4>

    Within a single night¡¯s time, they had been driven away and hurriedly rushed into this ce, a world entirely unlike their own. They wanted to eat, but were attacked and had already been enraged!

    Seeing the meal that was Qin Feng appearing in front of them only tempted them to approach.

    ¡°Murrr!¡±

    With a heart-stopping bellow, about five bulls rushed toward Qin Feng while other ultra beasts surrounded him in a tight circle.

    ¡°Die!¡± The ming Verdant Emperor Saber appeared in his hand with a sh of fuchsia light.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Swish!

    A ming de of light up to 10 meters long swept out and spread like a peacock¡¯s fan, destroying all of the enemies in front of him as if they were made of paper!

    He killed as he moved, tossing the beasts in his path on their backs as they opened up like bloody fountains before reaching the Bloodfrenzy Bull King.

    ¡°Chop!¡±

    He swung the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The beast king felt a great danger and let out a loud bellow as it tried to avoid the blow.

    Itsrge body was obviously not flexible enough!

    Pfft!

    A huge b of flesh was shed off from its body.

    The Bloodfrenzy Bull King boasted an incredible defense, even the shells that bombarded him only managed to singe a few of its hairs but Qin Feng easily broke right through it.

    The bull let out a roar and charged toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    He became so fast that he could not be seen with the naked eye and leapt to the bull king¡¯s side.

    With both feet touching the ground, he stomped hard.

    Boom!

    The ground cracked and he leapt high, instantly reaching the same height as the Bloodfrenzy Bull King.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was thrusted forward and pierced a hide that was as thick as the border¡¯s fortifications.

    Pfft!

    The saber sunk all the way in, leaving only the hilt still sticking out

    ¡°Out of my way!¡±

    He nted a foot on the beast king¡¯s body and grabbed his saber before dragging it all the way down.

    Qin Feng¡¯s actions made a huge wound that split open instantly.

    He had reached the side of the bull that was near its stomach area. His weapon was about a meter long and when he cut down he parted the skin and split open the bull¡¯s belly!

    Blood instantly gushed out. Qin Feng fortunately had his internal force to defend himself but the gushing blood spilled forth into the air. Nobody could see Qin Feng due to the blood shower blocking their view.

    It was then the bull¡¯s innards started to slip out from its wound.

    ¡°Muurrrr!¡±

    That attack was a heavy blow to the beast king!

    It let out a pained bellow and endured the severe pain. Its head snapped itself toward Qin Feng¡¯s direction, swooping its horns toward him.

    In a life or death situation, the awkward lumbering body of the Bloodfrenzy Bull King suddenly became more agile.

    This blow almost looked as if it was going to hit Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Qin Feng unleashed a fire ability, not to the sides but went upward instead before dropping down.

    He immediately managed to avoid the attack.

    His hands started to get shrouded in a horrible force of dark energy.

    ¡°Dark Decay!¡±

    Arge patch of darkness shrouded the lower body of the Bloodfrenzy Bull King, where the wound was opened up.

    It had already be an exposed weak spot and the bull was barely clinging onto life, having no way of resisting Qin Feng¡¯s rune based attack. The stench of decay clung to that raw power of an Emperor, eroding the insides and draining the bull¡¯s vitality.

    The corruption continued to spread as the bull, unable to withstand the pain, copsed to the ground on its side!

    The Bloodfrenzy Bull King indeed had a strong defense, otherwise Qin Feng would have killed it in a single attack after using one of his finishing moves, but instead he had to use multiple attacks before his opponent would be weakened.

    The following battle was much easier, Qin Feng¡¯s weapon burst into a burning light before he managed to sever its spine once the darkness had severely weakened it. The Bloodfrenzy Bull King was a hardy one indeed, but it ended up being the one who took itsst breath.

    In just five minutes, Qin Feng had in a beast king.

    Qin Feng was used to such a record, but this was surprising for many who witnessed it.

    Soon, something that filled them with more dread appeared in their field of vision.

    The beast wave naturally did not only have two sides, there was also a pride of C3-tier Luminous Lions. Their golden bodies and bright manes made them all shine brilliantly, with their Pride Leader shining as if a miniature sun.

    The destructive force of a Luminous Lion was greater than a Bloodfrenzy Bull¡¯s. It moved quickly and used the light around it to conceal its movements. It was a tricky opponent for the average B-tier.

    However, the Pride Leader was currently bound around the neck by a young girl with a whip. The whip she had was no more than three meters long, but once she had activated her ability the whip turned silver and grew a hundred meters long. After the lion was entangled, she did not kill it and instead looked in Qin Feng¡¯s direction.

    When Qin Feng killed the Bloodthirsty Bull King, the young girl waved her hand and the Pride Leader crashed down in front of him.

    Needless to say, this girl was none other than Bai Li.

    Crack! With a tug of her spatial whip, the Luminous Lion Pride Leader¡¯s head was removed from its neck and it copsed in front of Qin Feng.

    He pretended that the Pride Leader was not dead and went ahead to stab it in the forehead.

    The Pride Leader did not understand just how did it manage to provoke a C-tier beast emperor before it was in.

    Of course, the main reason Bai Li did not kill it immediately was so Qin Feng could absorb the Pride Leader¡¯s energy after its defeat.

    Now with the force of two beast kings inside him along with some parts of the B-tier Pyric Wyvern beast king, his body¡¯s strength had finally achieved a breakthrough.

    C2-tier!

    Due to the recent battles, Qin Feng¡¯s rank-up speed had increased rapidly.

    At this moment all the surrounding soldiers and aptitude users broke out into cheers.

    This scene was a huge boost to their morale. Originally there was this unrelenting feeling of dread, but now that was washed away by the feeling of survival, the battle was won!

    ¡°Dead! The beast kings are dead!¡±

    ¡°Chaaarge!¡±

    ¡°Onward! Force these beasts back!¡±

    The crowd roared and surged into battle.

    Qin Feng followed in the carnage, quickly and cleanly killing any ultra beast he came across.

    However, not everyone on the battlefield had the same strength Qin Feng did. Some C-tier aptitude users were unfortunately in by ultra beasts, crushed and broken where they stood or torn to pieces in an instant without so much as leaving behind a corpse.

    There would always be death in a beast wave, what Qin Feng could only do was kill every ultra beast as quickly as he could until these things were forced to retreat.

    After half an hour, the terrifying beast wave finally retreated.

    By then, there was a steady stream of troops arriving. Arge number of D-tier and E-tier soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, build cannons and send out drones to scout ahead.

    ¡°Beep beep!¡± Qin Feng was not tired, but before he could even sit down and catch a breath hismunicator began to beep.

    Drone footage could be seen from the notification.

    The person in charge of the Far Woond border, a B-tier general, suddenly called out.

    ¡°Everyone, get ready! Another wave of ultra beasts is iing! ETA 10 minutes!¡±

    Beast waves were never solved in just one wave, especially when there was bloody fighting. The scent of death and blood would only cause more ultra beasts to approach.

 Chapter 522 - Taking The Initiative

    <h4>Chapter 522: Taking The Initiative</h4>

    The fresh blood had attracted arge number of ultra beasts.

    It was like a rolling snowball that continued to get bigger as it rolled downhill, gathering until there would be no snow and in this case no ultra beasts left.

    But such a thing was improbable.

    As long as there were ultra beasts pouring out from the rift, the situation would only snowball out of control.

    Below the wall, countless numbers of ancient warriors were engaged inbat.

    An ultra beast burst out from the multitude of monsters and tried to bite down on a C-tier.

    When the C-tier saw the ultra beast appear, his internal force instantly erupted and made his body sturdier.

    ¡°Bastard, I¡¯ll kill you!¡±

    His axe glowed with an intense light as it chopped into the ultra beast¡¯s body.

    A swing that would have originally caused severe damage only just managed to make a gouge that was half a meter long.

    For this ultra beast, it was hardly considered as a serious injury. Instead, it managed to enrage the creature.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The ultra beast rushed forward at a horrifying speed!

    ¡°Crap!¡±

    The ancient warrior wanted to retreat but he knew that his speed was no match against this ultra beast.

    ¡°Ah, a beast soldier! A mutant ultra beast! Someone help...¡±

    Just as those words left his mouth, the ultra beast whooshed up to him and crunched down on the C-tier ancient warrior¡¯s mid section with itsrge jaws.

    There was a sound like breaking ss as his internal force shield shattered into pieces.

    Following that was a sickening crunch of bones snapping, a right proper C-tier had unceremoniously died at the jaws of an ultra beast.

    This scene was constantly reying itself throughout the wide battlefield below the walls.

    Qin Feng knew that there was nothing he could do.

    Even before his rebirth, such a scene would happen again and again whenever there was a massive beast wave.

    Humanity would lose hundreds of thousands of its own just to hold back the ultra beasts!

    The people who have died in front of Qin Feng¡¯s eyes may have reached tens of thousands, if not then thousands at least.

    Such a scene tinged his vision with red and himself seething with rage.

    Before his rebirth, when he was still weak enough to fear the attack of a beast soldier from a pack of ultra beasts, Qin Feng had no time to feelpassion for the fellows around him during the times of crisis.

    And now, he believed that he had the ultimate power to do something about it!

    He let out a frustrated cry before saying, ¡°It can¡¯t go on like this! I¡¯ll seal the crack in the Far Woond, everyone stay back and hold them off for as long as you can!¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking he started to charge forward.

    Whatever ultra beast that came in his way fell like wheat to a scythe.

    He was rushing straight toward the Far Woond.

    The defending B-tiers and C-tiers, along with the soldiers on the walls were stunned by this act.

    They could not understand how there would be anyone bold enough to take the initiative of running straight into something as terrifying as an iing beast wave

    Would not a move like that be basically an uglier suicide?

    ¡°What is he doing? Is he crazy?¡±

    ¡°Get back here!¡±

    ¡°Who is that guy? He sure talks big, talking about going into the Far Woond like that!¡±

    Those people loudly eximed.

    However, some B-tiers had a bright glimmer in their eyes.

    ¡°Qin Feng, if it¡¯s him then... it¡¯s possible!¡±

    A B-tier muttered to himself.

    There was a group of slightly younger people, about in their thirties, behind him. They had reached C-tier and had be an exceptional team. When one of them saw how their boss was staring at Qin Feng his heart beat rose and he felt a twinge of jealousy.

    ¡°Who does that guy think he is? He¡¯s going to that rift in the forest? What a joke, more like he¡¯s just afraid of the ultra beasts and has deserted, right?¡±

    As he said this, the others around him also started to have doubts.

    The B-tier in front of them frowned and turned to face them angrily. ¡°Shut up. If Qin Feng says he can do it then it can be done. None of you are qualified to criticize him!¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡± The C-tier who spoke up before was confused, but looking at how serious his boss was told him that it was not a good time to be joking. ¡°Yes Boss, but... who is that guy?¡±

    Who was he?

    This B-tier did not even know how to introduce Qin Feng.

    The governor of some backwater state? Guang Wei¡¯s killer? A kid genius? Or the powerful person that could enter the depths of the Northern Abyss ande out earning ten thousand points per day?

    Such a person really was amazing.

    Just as he was about to start talking again, the sky abruptly changed colors a few thousand meters away.

    Boom!

    There was a deafening explosion before mes burst into the sky

    The Far Woond had plenty of trees, with the tallest ones reaching up to twenty meters. These mes that soared into the air were much higher than those, reaching up to thirty meters tall and spreading up to one hundred meters wide.

    There was a permeating sense of dread that filled the atmosphere.

    Some B-tier ability users, especially the fire ones, suddenly eximed when they saw the scene.

    ¡°Fire Wall! It¡¯s a Fire Wall!¡±

    At this time, Qin Feng was a kilometer away.

    He thought about taking the initiative to attack but he did not expect another iing beast wave to appear a kilometer away.

    These ultra beasts were incredibly fast and powerful, they even had the ability to shroud themselves with dark runes and avoid detection.

    If these beasts were allowed to reach the border, Qin Feng believed the line might copse.

    Not only that, once these Shadow Leopards crossed the border and reached Beihua City, thebination of heavy traffic and sprawling buildings would mean they had plenty of hiding ces. That would mean that thousands of people would wind up as these creatures¡¯ dinner.

    That was why Qin Feng did not hesitate in diverting his course and crashing down among them from the sky.

    He almost parted this pack of Shadow Leopards.

    After that, massive fire runes began to appear around his body.

    In an instant, a Fire Wall that reached up to several hundred meters exploded from his body and covered the Shadow Leopards.

    Thousands of Shadow Leopards were engulfed by Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    The mes rocketed into the air, reaching up to thirty meters in height and the ground turned into magma. Magma pirs erupted from the boiling ground and many fire dragons swam through theva.

    The Fire Wall was not just a simple barrier, it could bebined with a number of other abilities.

    That was why the more runes someone possessed, the stronger this attack would be.

    The whole army of Shadow Leopards was destroyed in an instant.

    A bunch of C-tier ultra beasts could not possibly be a match for a C-tier beast emperor, and right now Qin Feng had the power of a beast emperor.

    Once every ultra beast around him had been destroyed, only then did he call back the Fire Wall.

    Calling upon the Blue me Peacock Wings once more, Qin Feng quickly ascended and returned back on track.

    Meanwhile, back at the border, the B-tier finally said, ¡°Who is he? All you need to know is that he¡¯s someone destined to be one of the strongest in the future!¡±

    The originally jealous C-tier sullenly watched the distant Fire Wall disappear and Qin Feng who was flying further and further away. His face felt hot, like someone had recently just given him ps on his cheeks, hot with pain!

 Chapter 523 - The Center of Attention

    <h4>Chapter 523: The Center of Attention</h4>

    Qin Feng, who was being used of being a deserter a moment ago, had single-handedly exterminated an entire wave of beasts in the blink of an eye. There were at least a few thousand beasts in this single horde!

    The turnaround happened all too quickly.

    Soldiers on the city walls were exhrated after seeing Qin Feng¡¯s ability. They were mostly made up of E or F tiers. The majority of them had no hope of reaching D-tier for the rest of their life, let alone achieving Qin Feng¡¯s level.

    They might not know how good Qin Feng was or how unreal it was for a C-tier to possess such tremendous power.

    But they did feel the glimpse of hope that Qin Feng had brought to them.

    ¡°So this is the true strength of an ability user. The beasts were wiped clean in just a single blow!¡±

    ¡°We need more elect like him here!¡±

    ¡°Mr. aptitude users, show us more of your power! Exterminate those beasts!¡±

    The soldiers shouted at other aptitude users with worshipful sights.

    Though the other aptitude users knew such reverence stemmed from Qin Feng¡¯s heroic act, and that the soldiers were probably worshipping Qin Feng and not them, they still could not help being motivated after hearing the cheers.

    ¡°Okay, my turn next!¡±

    ¡°These beasts are nothing in front of my power. Tornado!¡±

    ¡°Earth Dragon!¡±

    ¡°Tsunami!¡±

    Normally, ability users would use the least possible effort in a battle like this to save their consciousness. They needed to reserve some strength to deal with potential unforeseen circumstances. Who knew what kind of unreal beast might pop up the next instance?

    At the very least, they would need enough energy to keep themselves alive. They always felt that minions in beast hordes such as this one were not worth their all-out effort.

    However, under Qin Feng¡¯s lead, these aptitude users had shaken off their mental shackles.

    One after another powerful ability was being unleashed. The terrific potential of an entire troop of ability users was finally in full disy today.

    The strongest post-apocalyptic job ss, the ability users, revealed their ferocious maws.

    Instantly, those beasts that were ravaging earlier were being tamed by the unceasing abilitiesnded upon them.

    ¡°Warriors, charge!¡± Not to be outdone, the ancient warriors triggered their enormous inner strength.

    They fought ferociously without holding back.

    The battered beasts had no strength left to resist and were being run over mercilessly.

    A battle that initially may drag on indefinitely was wrapped up in less than half an hour thanks to the sudden burst of attack.

    Everyone was deeply enthused. Though many had exhausted their consciousness and stamina, the satisfaction of the battle greatly outweighed the lethargy.

    Most importantly, such a worn-out battle had sessfully minimized casualties. More soldiers and aptitude users had survived the horde than expected.

    After that, some beasts still appeared sporadically but they were easily dealt with by other defenders.

    Most aptitude users now set their sights on themunicator. That was the only channel for them to get a vision of Qin Feng.

    Drones released by Beihua city were now tracing Qin Feng¡¯s movement and synchronized the recording onto everyone¡¯smunicator.

    Ten thousand meters away from the border, Qin Feng dashed forward determinedly.

    It took him three hours to reach Far Woond using a hover copter previously. It would take a lot more time now that he was on foot.

    As he marched forward, more beasts appeared in front of him.

    A loud bang erupted in front of him. Qin Feng¡¯s irises shrank and he looked toward the source of themotion.

    It was a horde of Demonic Goliath.

    These goliaths were not very bright. Their IQ was lower than that of a three-year-old child. However, they were born lusting for blood and kills.

    Each goliath stood at five-meters tall, whereby a human adult would normally only be at its knees¡¯ height. More horrifyingly, some goliaths could even grow as high as ten meters.

    The group of hideous goliaths wasing at Qin Feng aggressively. The primitive weapons in their hands were already stained with blood. Several beasts were seen fleeing frantically in front of them.

    Apparently, they had been killing incessantly along their way here.

    ¡®C6-tier Demonic Goliaths!¡¯ Qin Feng nced at them coldly. This Far Woond was certainly full of surprises.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng once againnded with force. But this time, he did not release Fire Wall.

    There were about two thousand goliaths in sight. Nheless, they moved in a cluster and did not cover too many grounds.

    Thus, Qin Feng decided to use another signature ability of his.

    ¡°Decaying Rain!¡±

    All of a sudden, a dark pir raised from Qin Feng¡¯s hand and broke through the cloud. It turned the cloud dark and dimmed the sky.

    The Demonic Goliaths nced up but saw nothing other than the suddenly appearing dark clouds.

    Hence, they did not slow down and continued to pace forward uniformly.

    Qin Feng did not hesitate and brought the cloud lower.

    The Decaying Rain did not hold for too long and began to bathe thend underneath it. The area soaked by the rain was instantly corroded.

    Poof!

    A giant tree instantly wilted after it contacted the rain and recoiled into deadwood.

    ¡°Ahh!!¡±

    Goliaths began to shriek out of pain. Their skin was corroded wherever the raindrops hit.

    ¡°Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!¡±

    Miserable screeches were continuously heard.

    Even some drones that flew into the vicinity were melted by the rain. Other drones at farside could not get a clear view of the goliaths but could still transmit the terrifying ability through to themunicator.

    ¡°It¡¯s a dark ability! Qin Feng is a dual-ability user?¡±

    ¡°He is too powerful!¡±

    ¡°Can he stop the goliaths?¡±

    The other aptitude users who were watching the transmission held their breaths.

    They watched nervously as some goliaths at the perimeter of the ability area lunged out hysterically. Bloods and perforating wounds were seen all over their bodies.

    These goliaths fled in all directions after they escaped the ability as if they had just experienced a dreadful assault.

    Only about a hundred goliaths had managed to escape. Most beasts were still trapped under the cloud.

    Ten minutester, the dark cloud finally disappeared. Two figures shot into the sky and continued to charge forward. The two blurry silhouettes were clearly Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    While the ce that was supposed to be woond was now emptied. Thend was entirely ck and it seemed like a mud pool or a horrifying abyss.

    Other than that, there was nothing in there. Not a single sign of goliaths, as if they had never existed.

    The elects at the border had no words to describe their current feelings.

    After a prolonged silence, a B-tier finally spoke, ¡°Prepare for battle. I can see a few dozens of goliathsing our way.¡±

    Not many were worried by that statement and remained unmoved.

    A few dozens of goliath? There were at least a few thousand C-tiers and more than a hundred B-tiers around. Who cared about the goliaths? They were not the primary concern now.

    They were more intrigued to see to what extent Qin Feng could go. ¡®Does he really n to enter Abyssal Rift?¡¯

    Qin Feng, of course, was a man of his words.

 Chapter 524 - Legion of the Deads

    <h4>Chapter 524: Legion of the Deads</h4>

    Qin Feng continued to move toward the rift. More and more beasts came across his path. Their tiers ranged from C5 to C9.

    The ranking might have meanings to other people, but to Qin Feng, they were all equal. Equally squishable.

    Because he was an emperor.

    Even a beast that ranked seven tiers higher than him would not be his match.

    After traveling for a day, Qin Feng had only reached half the distance.

    The number of monsters that got past Qin Feng becamerger andrger too. The defenders at the border were facing immense pressure.

    Nheless, none of the aptitude users at the wall was seenining. They knew aspared to them, Qin Feng was experiencing ten times the danger and pressure. The beast horde had urred too suddenly this time around. Almost the entire Far Woond had been conquered by the never-ending beast wavesing through the rift.

    ¡°This is bad! It¡¯s getting dark soon!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng is still inside the woond. It is too dangerous out there in the night!¡±

    ¡°Have you guys forgotten that Qin Feng is a dark ability user? Maybe the night would be at his advantage!¡±

    They were all praying that Qin Feng would be safe.

    If something were to happen to him, the border would only be more fragile defensively. The Far Woond had now be a crowded colony for the beasts.

    As the night arrived, Qin Feng became stronger and stronger thanks to the mountain of beasts that he had killed along the way.

    Some beasts had gone dormant during the night but it was now the nocturnal monsters¡¯ turn to wreak havoc.

    Soon, Qin Feng came to face a few B-tier beasts.

    ¡®If they are appearing this far from the rift, I bet more beasts would turn up as I get closer. It will waste a lot of time if I keep on fighting them.¡¯ Qin Feng¡¯s mind spun rapidly. ¡®It¡¯s time to give the old trick a rerun!¡¯

    Qin Feng quickly set his eye on a B-tier Mammoth.

    The mammoth was thirty-meter in height and measured at least fifty-meter long. It moved like a walking skyscraper.

    Itsrge body signified that the beast was probably very durable and vigorous.

    ¡°Bai Li, destroy its brain!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li and Qin Feng were at least a thousand meters away from the mammoth. The beast did not see them, or it did not care since Qin Feng and Bai Li were two measly C-tiers and too tiny in size for its appetite.

    Suddenly, the mammoth appeared to quiver slightly. Unbeknownst to it, a wound had opened up in between its eyes.

    It was Bai Li¡¯s doing.

    A spatial rift was created inside the center of the mammoth¡¯s skull and mashed the beast¡¯s brain.

    Spatial ability was definitely scary.

    Boom!

    The mammoth instantly dropped to the ground.

    No matter how powerful it is, the mammoth could never escape such an entric attack.

    Schwaff!

    Qin Feng and Bai Li closed in and saw the yellowish sma spurting out from the wound in between the fallen mammoth¡¯s eyes.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and dark runes began to gush into the beast¡¯s head through the open wound.

    A whileter, the mammoth got back on its feet. But there was no sign of life in its eyes. It was simply a lifeless puppet.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li rode the mammoth and began to stomp the woond.

    As they charged forward, Qin Feng would kill the C-tiers while using the same method to turn the B-tiers into his puppet.

    Not long after, Qin Feng had amassed a respectable legion of zombie beasts!

    In the dark, the drones continued to film the progress with night vision cameras, and people had lost the mood to continue watching Qin Feng¡¯s heroic march. After battling through the entire day, most of them were dead beat and desperately needed a rest.

    Those who took over the night shift, on the other hand, were not told that a crazy man was currently running deep into the woond to get to the rift.

    Qin Feng was now closer to the rift than ever. Around him, a few hundred B-tier beasts were clustering the mammoth and stormed on impressively. He was finally at the cave entrance when the first light of the day broke out.

    The aptitude users who got their rest hastily turned on themunicator the first thing upon waking up.

    Inside Beihua, Shang Han stayed awake the whole night deploying troops to strengthen the city defense. She sighed in relief when she realized it was already dawn.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Qin Feng now?¡±

    Yuan Hao checked the surveince video and saw Qin Feng entering the rift with a huge legion of zombie beasts.

    ¡°Master Qin Feng has just entered the rift of Far Woond!¡±

    ¡°Gosh! He made it after all! But what does he n to do there? Don¡¯t tell me he is going to guard the rift and stop the monster froming out?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s hard to tell. Who knows what kind of monster might turn up next?¡±

    Shang Han was rather worried too after she learned about the news.

    ¡°Even if Qin Feng manages to stabilize the rift there, we are still unable to send him reinforcement at the moment to seal off the ce like the Northern Abyss! What is he thinking?¡± Shang Han said.

    After a short pause, Yuan Hao suddenly spoke, ¡°Maybe Master Qin Feng is right. Taking matters into our own hands may be the best solution. Otherwise, we will never free ourselves from this threat.¡±

    ¡°So what are you suggesting?¡±

    ¡°Why don¡¯t we push out a little into the woond and build a new wall further from the current border? We can then slowly extend the wall and runes around the Far Woond. This way, we could definitely seal the ce up in about ten days!¡±

    The Far Woond was actually a rtively smaller area aspared to the Northern Abyss. But it was still easier said than done. It would take a lot of effort to move the troop into the beast-filled Far Woond at its current state, let alone build a wall in there!

    Of course, it was still a usible suggestion regardless of the colossal effort needed to execute it.

    Shang Han looked solemn. She was making a difficult decision.

    Then, she finally nodded determinedly. ¡°Prepare the troops. Once we get news from Qin Feng, we will go all out. I willmand the army myself.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Regent!¡± Yuan Hao answered unwaveringly.

    Inside the rift, Qin Feng actually did note across a lot of beasts.

    Most beasts had immediately left the cave once they reached Earth. After all, the cave was too small for therger monsters. Thus, Qin Feng had only met some sporadic minions inside the cave. They were crushed mercilessly by Qin Feng¡¯s B-tier zombie legion.

    A journey that ought to be dangerous in others¡¯ perception was actually quite easy from Qin Feng¡¯s perspective.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li reached the ce they had been to before but the middle of the path was currently engulfed by arge spatial rift.

    A rift did not always open horizontally. The one in front of them opened up in a weird, disoriented 3D structure.

    It was nothing like what they had seen before.

 Chapter 525 - Speaking of the Devil

    <h4>Chapter 525: Speaking of the Devil</h4>

    ¡°Bai Li, can you close it this time?¡±

    ¡°You bet!¡±

    Bai Li did not take out her whip this time.

    The weapon actually held her back. It was actually a disguise to conceal her true power.

    Her whole body glowed in silver light and her hair drifted up.

    Silver runes began to surround the dark rift in front of them. The rift gradually shrank in size.

    The cave area that was initially engulfed by the rift slowly revealed itself. There was no sign of copse but Qin Feng was not paying attention anyway. He was focusing solely on the spatial rift, fearing any unexpected circumstance that might ur when Bai Li was using her ability to close the rift.

    Well, speaking of the devil.

    Though the rift had be substantially smaller under Bai Li¡¯s effort, it still left an opening at about three hundred meters wide. They then heard an angry roaring from within the rift.

    Following the roar, the head of a familiar figure suddenly busted through the rift.

    It was another Pyric Wyvern.

    Judging by its aura, this wyvern was a beast emperor.

    A B2-tier beast emperor, which ranked ten tiers higher than Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng had never felt so threatened. He shouted, ¡°Bai Li, we gotta run!¡±

    Even Bai Li was startled by the sudden entrance of the beast. ¡°No, it¡¯s too dangerous to stop now.¡±

    The rift would recoil and be highly unstable if she were to halt the process now. It might extend evenrger than before in that case.

    The head of the Pyric Wyvern alone was around fifty meters wide. They could foresee how huge its body would be.

    In front of such a tremendous beast, Qin Feng was just another powerless human.

    He was still too weak to take on such a colossal being!

    ¡°Charge!¡± Qin Feng knew the top priority now was to protect Bai Li so he immediately sent in his zombie legion.

    The beasts obeyed its master¡¯s orders and charged at the wyvern¡¯s head fearlessly.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The Pyric Wyvern bawled and spitted fire through its mouth. The me was like scorchingva and instantly incinerated the entire legion.

    The heatwave expanded and blew straight at Bai Li.

    Qin Feng immediately stepped in front of her and maneuvered fire runes into his hands.

    Fire Shield!

    Promptly, a three-meter-high giant fire shield appeared in front of Qin Feng and split the iing heat waves sideways.

    However, Qin Feng could still feel the heating from the other side of the shield. He even had his internal force shield on but could barely withstand the burning sensation. The beast emperor was truly formidable.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand and tried to poke the emperor with his fire ability. The Fire Dragon went against the heat current and swiftly crashed on the monster¡¯s jaw.

    Nheless, the attack had little effect. The scale on the wyvern¡¯s head remained unscratched following the impact.

    The Pyric Wyvern twitched slightly as it turned its sight on Qin Feng, a pesky worm that was still moving around annoyingly.

    Its huge eye was evenrger than Qin Feng standing straight. The wisdom within its eyes belonged only to a creature with great intellect.

    As if it was mocking Qin Feng for using a fire ability in front of the true master of fire runes.

    ¡°This won¡¯t cut it.¡±

    Qin Feng was simply trying his luck. Now he knew his fire ability waspletely handicapped.

    If Bai Li were to use her spatial ability on the wyvern when it was crossing the rift, they might have a chance to cut its head off. But that strategy did not seem to be possible at the moment.

    Qin Feng could only do his best to keep the wyvern from hurting Bai Li.

    ¡°Dark Laser!¡±

    A force of concentrated dark runes was shot at the wyvern emperor. Simultaneously, the Hell Stone beside Qin Feng¡¯s ability core began to spin insanely quickly.

    Ten times amplification.

    Instantly, the dark rune force was boosted and sted on the wyvern emperor.

    The red-glowing scale on the Pyric Wyvern suddenly dimmed a little after it took the hit. This indicated that the beast had been weakened.

    ¡®This might work!¡¯

    Hell Stone was, after all, an S-tier product.

    At the same time, the Pyric Wyvern was shocked after sensing that its power was being taken away. This greatly enraged it.

    It was just like how a human would want to squash a mosquito after they got bitten.

    ¡®How dare you challenge me, pity little worm!¡¯

    The Pyric Wyvern was mad! It pushed itself through the narrow rift and stretched its front w out of the rift.

    About eighty meters of its body was out of the rift now. It was only less than fifty meters away from Qin Feng and Bai Li!

    In such a close distance, the wyvern could easily blow Qin Feng away with a sneeze.

    ¡°Get you fat a*s back in there!¡±

    ¡°Dragon Step! Dragon m!¡±

    Qin Feng stepped forward courageously to face the wyvern andnded his palm on the wyvern¡¯s face.

    The palm attack instantly evaporated tenyers of internal strength pools from Qin Feng¡¯s dantian. In other words, the force unleashed is equivalent to that of a B-tier ancient warrior.

    Immediately, a thirty-meter-high golden dragon w appeared out of Qin Feng¡¯s palm and mmed hard on the wyvern¡¯s head.

    Boom!

    Upon the impact, the B-tier Wyvern emperor was forced back by a step. That was about twenty to thirty meters backward, which was good enough for Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    ¡°Bai Li, how long more?¡±

    Bai Li knew they were trapped in a dire situation now and was rushing the spatial rune output.

    ¡°Three more minutes! Hang on!¡±

    ¡®Three freaking minutes?! That¡¯s too long!¡¯

    Qin Feng looked at the B-tier beast emperor. This was a monster that even his A-tier old self would not challenge alone.

    But after he was reborn, such an encounter where he was forced to face far greater opponents had happened numerous times.

    Qin Feng¡¯s sclera turned pitch-ck.

    ¡®Well, let¡¯s do this then!¡¯

    His physique, internal strength, and conscious power had all been pushed beyond his limit.

    ¡®Come out!¡¯

    Qin Feng summoned a horrible thing out of his consciousness realm. A pure ck stone materialized in front of Qin Feng.

    The stone spun rapidly and was emanating dark runes at all times. It was like a condensed of dark force!

    It was none other than the legendary Hell Stone.

    ¡®Fly!¡¯ Qin Feng pointed his finger at the Pyric Wyvern!

 Chapter 526 - Demolished Mountains

    <h4>Chapter 526: Demolished Mountains</h4>

    If the Hell Stone were to drop naturally, the result might be cmitous.

    But if it were being controlled, the stone could serve as a mighty weapon.

    The original owner of this terrifying item named it the Sacred Stone of Darkness.

    After spending a year with the stone inside his body, Qin Feng clearly understood why the Hell Stone was called a sacred item.

    This was his final trump card to stop the Pyric Wyvern Emperor.

    The rich dark runes around the materialized Hell Stone were all under Qin Feng¡¯s control. In the blink of an eye, the small stone expanded rapidly as it flew toward the Wyvern.

    One meter, to two meters, then inted to ten, twenty meters...

    It was thirty metersrge when it finally hit the beast emperor.

    Boom!

    The dark stone forcefully pounced the mighty B-tier emperor back into the rift.

    Arge band of dark runes immediately surrounded the wyvern and drew the life force away from every cell of the monster.

    With a single hit, Qin Feng could sense that arge chunk of energy was gushing into his Diamond Starglobe through the dark runes, which then spread down to his limbs.

    The energy pool of a B-tier beast emperor was no doubt colossal. It was too much to bear for Qin Feng at his current tier.

    Obviously, one hit was not enough to scare the beast emperor away. But Qin Feng had bought enough time.

    Three minutes had passed.

    ¡°Seal!¡± Silver light once again burst out around Bai Li. The oncerge opening was now only a thin line of about a hundred meters wide.

    Grey materials were seen on four corners parallel to the narrowed rift. These were the spatial stones that sparked the urrence of the rift.

    ¡°Phew!¡± Bai Li retracted andnded back on the ground.

    This was when both of them saw the dark rift ripple and a horrible creature soon appeared on the outside.

    It dashed out unbelievably fast, like a cannonball caught in a fire. It was none other than the Pyric Wyvern.

    Theoretically, therge-size wyvern would not be able to pass through the rift after Bai Li had shrunk it thin.

    Unfortunately, beasts above the emperor tier normally know shapeshifting.

    Hence, it was not difficult for the Pyric Wyvern topress its body to be smaller than the rift opening and pass right through.

    The wyvern moved too quickly for Bai Li to react.

    ¡°Back off!¡± Qin Feng shouted and both of them retreated rapidly.

    Qin Feng got a better look at the Pyric Wyvern¡¯s full body as he fell back.

    The beast¡¯s entire body was covered in mes. It looked like a giant lizard with a long tail that upied more than half the size of its body. The fire scorched vibrantly along its tail.

    The Pyric Wyvern changed back as soon as it came out of the rift. Shapeshifting was a very demanding technique. The bigger the change, the more energy it would consume.

    Maintaining shapeshifting for a long period of time may help in the micromanagement of one¡¯s energy but a B-tier beast emperor had no such need. They often run over their enemy through brutal force. A beast in the pinnacle of the food chain would hardly face any crisis that might urge them to sharpen their skills.

    Thus, the wyvern did not hesitate and canceled its shapeshift instantly. Its colossal body was suffocating.

    Its body was ten times the size of its alreadyrge head. Qin Feng estimated that the monster at least measured five hundred meters long.

    That was about the size of tworge city squares.

    Even though Qin Feng and Bai Li had backed off by two hundred meters with one jump, the Pyric Wyvern closed the gap in one step and could kill them anytime.

    Bai Li acted reflexively and covered them with spatial runes without being told. They disappeared from the spot the next instant.

    When they reappeared, they were already out at the top of the mountain.

    The entire area suddenly quaked violently.

    A tremendous power was looming underneath them. Qin Feng held Bai Li¡¯s waist andunched to the air with a pair of blue me wings on his back.

    Boom!

    The power sted through the mountain peak like a volcano eruption. Magma erupted from where they were standing earlier up to more than three hundred meters into the sky.

    Qin Feng was shocked.

    Once the magma pir subsided, the peak was shattered into pieces after the damage.

    Even the mountain began to crumble due to the cracks caused by the powerful eruption. A giant beast slowly crawled out from the mountain ruins.

    As soon as the drones caught the signal of the B-tier Pyric Wyvern, its warning signal beamed rapidly and the message was transmitted quickly back into the base.

    ¡°Beep! Beep! Beep! Great biological force detected ahead. Danger level, S tier. A-tier aptitude users, please head to the location immediately!¡±

    The danger level was not determined based solely on the beast¡¯s tier but rather its threat to the surrounding colony. A B-tier beast emperor could wipe out Beihua in seconds if it were not stopped in time. So it was understandable that the Pyric Wyvern was being graded as an S-tier threat.

    Shang Han who had not napped for more than 20 minutes opened her eyes as soon as she heard the warning.

    She stood up decisively and put on heavy armor as she walked out. This time, she had to take matters into her own hands.

    ¡°Elite guards, follow me!¡±

    ¡°Roger!¡±

    In less than a minute, at least fifty B-tier aptitude users had gathered behind Shang Han as she walked out from the building.

    It was one hell of a troop. Everyone was ready to kill.

    In the center square of Beihua, numerous individuals in white robes stood under the giant spatial stabilizer and worked painstakingly. After a while, the spatial stones and beast cores were well aligned.

    ¡°The spatial scaffold is set!¡±

    ¡°The spatial tunnel is formed!¡±

    ¡°Opening!¡±

    ¡°Positional test, check!¡±

    ¡°Drone position, check!¡±

    ¡°Prepare to transport!¡±

    ¡°Regent! The tunnel is good to go!¡±

    Once the tunnel was secured, Shang Han and her troop marched impressively into it.

    Humans actually already possessed substantial knowledge about the usage of spatial runes. However, it was still challenging for it to be used consistently. This was because a single tunnel would consume a lot of precious energy.

    Shang Han and co. disappeared once they stepped through the spatial tunnel.

    On top of the Far Woond rift, Qin Feng and Bai Li were hovering in the air. Qin Feng watched the giant Pyric Wyvern and delivered an order to his crewmate through themunicator.

    ¡°Open a spatial tunnel and send Fengli Aircraft over!¡±

    ¡°Roger that!¡± Guo Guan, the captain of Fengli Aircraft, punched the button in response.

 Chapter 527 - Formidable Feng Li Aircraft

    <h4>Chapter 527: Formidable Feng Li Aircraft</h4>

    A thousand meters away from the rift, a spatial tunnel of about ten meters wide appeared abruptly. Swiftly, one after another elect with a powerful aura walked out from it.

    It was Shang Han and her troop. The weakest among them was at least B2-tier. Though a B2-tier might be instantly crushed by the B2-tier beast emperor, it was considered safe with Shang Han leading the line.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Shang Han shouted with great internal force and her sound traveled far. Eventually, it reached Qin Feng¡¯s ears.

    ¡°Bai Li, over there!¡±

    Bai Li immediately held Qin Feng and they instantly teleported about a thousand meters.

    Schwaff!

    The two of them appeared instantaneously in front of Shang Han.

    It took Shang Han by surprise. She thought that they were trapped by the wyvern and did not expect them toe to her so effortlessly.

    ¡°So this is the power of spatial rune!¡± Even Shang Han was amazed by the unparalleled ability.

    The Pyric Wyvern roared ragingly after Qin Feng and Bai Li vanished into thin air. The beast swung its tail and copsed more mountain ground around it. As a result, a huge pothole, where the cave originally resided, was revealed and the stabilized rift inside immediately caught Shang Han and everyone¡¯s attention

    Shang Han was astonished. ¡°The rift... It has been stabilized?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    ¡°Okay. Then let us focus fire on that freaking beast!¡± Shang Han could not wait to ughter the beast emperor.

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    The five hundred meter long Pyric Wyvern rushed at them intensely.

    ¡°Long-range bomber, on my mark!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Commander!¡± Five gunners responded.

    But this was when Qin Feng chipped in, ¡°It would not be necessary.¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    They did not understand why Qin Feng said that but in the next moment, they saw arge spatial tunnel open in the sky not very far from them.

    The spatial tunnel was at least three hundred meters wide. It was evenrger than the rift that Bai Li had sealed earlier. The rift blocked the sun and greatly impaired the visibility around the area.

    ¡®What¡¯s the matter? Perhaps the rift has not been properly stabilized, thus resulting in the opening of another rift?¡¯ Shang Han was distressed and concerned. She could not imagine the consequence if another gigantic spatial tunnel from a different dimension was created.

    The spatial runes in Far Woond were highly vtile. Maybe closing one would trigger the opening of more dangerous rifts!

    Just as Shang Han was still bothered by the possibility of a second rift, what happened next had her and the elite guards baffled.

    A huge aircraft came right through the spatial tunnel. On its side, there were two golden words¡ªFengli.

    The aircraft had a sleek design. It slid out from the tunnel smoothly and the tunnel immediately closed up after that. Within seconds, numerous guns were seen extending out from the aircraft body. Its main gun in the middle had a ten-meter-wide muzzle.

    Then, white lights were seen whirling around the guns¡¯ muzzles and gradually concentrated into blinding blue energy balls.

    Zap!

    The sound of a heavy turbine was heard and right after that, the blueser was shot out across the air.

    Thesernded straight down to none other than the ferocious Pyric Wyvern. The beast was stopped short and retreated after it was hit. Arge perforating wound was seen on one side of its body.

    The cut was so deep that its bone was left bare. Some parts of the bone were even melted by theser.

    Lub dup!

    The Wyvern¡¯s internal organs had also been exposed. The pumping sound of its beating heart could be heard even from afar.

    One strike was all it took to heavily injure the B-tier emperor.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    Understandably, the Pyric Wyvern was enraged. But in its roar, one could tell that there was also a sense of panic.

    Boom!

    mes began to cover the Pyric Wyvern¡¯s body as a form of self-defense.

    ¡°Okay. It¡¯s hunting time!¡±

    Qin Feng was the first to dash out.

    Shang Han regained herself only after she saw Qin Feng move.

    Those B-tier gunners finally understood what Qin Feng meant earlier.

    Their firepower had indeed be unnecessary with the aircraft hovering above them.

    Shang Han quickly followed behind Qin Feng.

    ¡°Gravity Punch!¡±

    Shang Han raised her fist. Strengthened by the heavy runes amplified through her armor, her punchesnded down like raindrops.

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

    Numerous heavy punches were thrown at the Pyric Wyvern. Shang Han¡¯s internal force could prate the exterior armor and reach the internal organ of the target, including the brain.

    A beast¡¯s strength usually grew proportionally to its size. But the human size was generally fixed so they could only turn to maximizing their internal force.

    The higher tier an aptitude user got to, the area and force of his or her attack would be exponentially greater too.

    Qin Feng had reached A-tier before so he was aware of such a logic.

    He did not use the Hell Stone this time. It had been retracted back into his consciousness realm.

    Qin Feng concentrated his internal force and unleashed an attack that was on par with Shang Han¡¯s punches.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    A dragon w of about fifty meters in size appeared in the air and mmed down mightily on the wyvern¡¯s side body.

    The sharp tip of the w directly mped onto the open wound on the wyvern.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    The Wyvern shrieked desperately.

    Fire spilled out from its wound along with fresh red blood.

    ¡°Die now, filthy beast!¡± Shang Han continued to pounce. Other B-tiers joined in on the battle too. They attacked whenever the beast was distracted by Shang Han and Qin Feng¡¯s merciless assaults.

    The Pyric Wyvern continued to roar angrily. The ground that it stood on had been turned into a magma pool. Despite that, the injuries on its body kept piling up while the human fought tactically to avoid being harmed by the wyvern¡¯s ineffective counter.

    As a result, the powerful B-tier emperor was eventually exhausted and sumbed to the joint attack by multiple human elects.

    Boom!

    Therge body finally fell to its death.

    Scorching magma around its body disappeared rapidly. The fire runes were retracted back into the monster¡¯s be. Qin Feng knew it was a sign that the runes were returning to the monster¡¯s ability crystal core.

    The scene around this area had changed drastically too.

    The woond was initially upied by a mountain range that ran beyond the horizon. Now, the ce had been mostly ttened after being wasted by the Pyric Wyvern.

    Everything the eyes could see had turned charcoal ck. It was the color of molten rock formed after the magma had hardened up. The mountain where the rift urred had disappeared as well. Only a thin line of the stabilized rift was seen hanging in the middle of the air!

 Chapter 528 - Alluring Rewards

    <h4>Chapter 528: Alluring Rewards</h4>

    ¡°Phew!¡± Shang Han panted heavily from her intense consumption of internal strength, being an A-tier herself, it would at least take a week for her to recover from such a huge energy drain.

    Hopefully, there would not be any horrifying ultra beasts anymore!

    Meanwhile, she looked toward Qin Feng with an idolizing smile on her face.

    ¡°Qin Feng, Bai Li, we are so lucky to have you here!¡± Shang Han expressed her gratitude.

    Not only did Qin Feng counter the Pyric Wyvern Emperor with the attacks from Fengli Aircraft, he had also yed a crucial role during the post battle that followed.

    Shang Han was also saved by Bai Li¡¯s teleport several times to get away from being severely injured.

    Surprisingly, even after the battle against the beast emperor, there was only a small number of people injured, and nobody had died from the battle.

    It was a huge sess!

    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, Regent!¡± Qin Feng answered with a delighted mood and a thin smile.

    Shang Han looked toward Qin Feng and was about to continue with herpliments, however, she was instantly shocked by the view and immediately paused.

    Shang Han was surprised by Qin Feng¡¯s low energy consumption, and he seemed to be having a blushing healthy look.

    ¡®Could it be that Qin Feng had arger pool of internal strength than mine? How could it be possible?¡¯ Shang Han sank into her thoughts and was struck dumb by the impossible.

    In fact, although Qin Feng did not have the same amount of internal strength as Shang Han, as soon as the Pyric Wyvern Emperor was killed, Qin Feng¡¯s body had soaked uprge amount of energy, it had almost filled up half of his physical strengthen, and he was about to achieve C3-tier!

    Certainly, Qin Feng¡¯splexion would definitely blush from such horrifying amounts of energy replenishment.

    Without knowing Qin Feng¡¯s mighty Absorption Ability, Shang Han decided to set her doubt aside and bring up something else to Qin Feng. ¡°Could it be that the Fengli Aircraft is currently on sale by your organization? If so, I would like to have ten of these with the same specifications!¡±

    Certainly, Shang Han was serious about it.

    However, Qin Feng shook his head helplessly and answered. ¡°The Fengli Aircraft had been modified from the operating system on the Floating City that was affected by the spatial passage during the firstnding of the Grans, hence, it is equipped with such a massive amount of output force that is notmonly found in other ordinary aircrafts that are on sale. However, it is still an overpowered output to put it against a C-tier beast emperor!¡±

    ¡°Operating system of the Floating City?¡± All of a sudden, Shang Han reminisced about Cui Lian, an A-tier aptitude user who had been united with her in their marriage, she seemed to be able to remember the moments when the recordings were being transmitted back, the body that was being prated by white light rays was still vivid in her memories.

    ¡°No wonder it looks familiar to me!¡± Shang Han let out a bitterugh, then, she insisted with her unwavering will, ¡°Although it might be overpowered to have it go against a C-tier beast emperor, it is still quite useful, more importantly,pared with any ordinary hover copters, its massive capacity to bring along aptitude users during attacks will still be a great feature to have! I¡¯ll ce my order!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°Alright, Regent, your order will be prioritized!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll look forward to the delivery!¡±

    In fact, the massively sized aircraft was indeed a good fit for the beast wave,pared to other light-weighted hover copters, it was more intimidating. At least, unlike ordinary hover copters, the aircraft could still withstand the insane crushing force of ancient giant hawks.

    With his memories from the past ten years, Qin Feng certainly knew his selection of machines to cope up with battles in the future.

    Right after the deal was done, Shang Han continued with her offer, ¡°This round, I will still grant you the double scores, and you can have sevenyers from all of the materials obtained from this Pyric Wyvern Emperor, and I will have the remaining threeyers, what do you think?¡±

    Certainly, Qin Feng had umted a significant amount of achievement scores from the battle, without any doubt, he had contributed a lot!

    Although it might cost Shang Han a huge amount, she did not hesitate to fulfil her promise at all!

    The B-tiers that were behind were left with no choice but to remain silent as Qin Feng¡¯s capability was too overwhelming and he had contributed the most, therefore, everyone felt that it was unnecessary for them to im their share.

    Hence, the amount of loot that was left for them was greatly reduced.

    Of course, there were still dissatisfactions among them.

    ¡°It would be impolite for me to reject this!¡± Qin Feng felt that it was only right for him to redeem his share, after all, he earned it by himself and he did not care about others¡¯ thoughts!

    Hence, Qin Feng selected the core, blood, and a portion of flesh and dragon scales from the Pyric Wyvern Emperor for himself.

    The remaining was left behind for Shang Han!

    The beast emperor core was certainly the most valuable item from the beast emperor, and a single core would already cost half of the total worth of the beast.

    ¡®Well, I can certainly speed up my enhancement with my mighty Absorption Ability, however, I should do it gradually to firm up my foundation.¡¯

    Qin Feng was nning to absorb the beast emperor core slowly.

    ¡°Oh yes, Qin Feng, Bai Li, right now, I have a favor to ask!¡± Shang Han then said.

    ¡°Please go ahead, Regent!¡±

    ¡°The Far Woond beast wave eruption would mostly likelyst up to half a month, although themencement has been brought ahead and the spatial passage has been stabilized, I would still hope that you can station your people here to deter the appearance of much stronger ultra beasts, until the beast wave is over that is!¡±

    Shang Han was serious about the matter, meanwhile, she had also looked toward Bai Li simultaneously.

    She could still remember the moment when Bai Li wiped out the spatial rift instantly and annihted the beast king ultra beast.

    Despite not knowing the reason behind the release of the beast emperor ultra beast, Shang Han would still acknowledge Bai Li¡¯s powerful capability.

    ¡°Of course, I will not let you be alone, I will retain some of my people with you to defend against the enemies, should there be any undefeatable enemies, there will still be spatial passage avable for immediate escape!¡±

    ¡°If that¡¯s the case...¡± Qin Feng was interested to take up the offer from Shang Han.

    After all, even if Qin Feng had chosen not to stay within the Far Woond, he would still have to go to the Northern Abyss to face the same situation.

    Shang Han noticed Qin Feng¡¯s doubt and presumed that he was unwilling to take up the offer.

    ¡°Qin Feng, with your umted points from the previous mission, you will at least have three hundred thousand points that allow you to exchange with anything you want, it seems like it will be quite a huge sum for me to pay!¡±

    Despite the fact that the payout was definitely a pain in the neck for Shang Han, she would still have to endure it and focus on the crucial task of building up the Far Woond.

    Hence, Shang Han clenched her teeth and gave her offer, ¡°I do know that you might not be interested in the items from point exchange, however, I can grant you with higher ess during your exchange, and there might be something that you might want to have!¡±

    Shang Han essed hermunicator, soon, Qin Feng was alerted by his beepingmunicator.

    Qin Feng raised his arm and browsed through the exchange page of Beihua City, his ess was instantly granted to a higher level that enabled him to top up his exchange limit from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

    ¡°Fifty years ago, a foreign meteornded on Beihua City, it was a fire element meteor that was named as the Sacred me Meteor by the aptitude users, it was the meteor that had allowed me Lord Cui Lian to advance as an A-tier aptitude user!¡±

    Qin Feng looked into the exchange list that showcased the hologram of the Sacred me Meteor that was about the size of a fist, and it was emitting an endless number of fire runes.

    Surprisingly, it was simr to the attributes of the Hell Stone.

 Chapter 529 - The Great Undead Army

    <h4>Chapter 529: The Great Undead Army</h4>

    Such an item would at least be ranked at S-tier, and it was a much higher rank than the Armor of Vajrayana that was worn by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng looked at the points, and the required points to exchange for the item was set at five hundred thousand.

    However, to Qin Feng, it was nothing.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take on the mission, however, I do not need any of these people to remain here!¡± Qin Feng nced through the B-tiers.

    Shang Han was struck dumb, and she continued to voice out her disagreement, ¡°Although you do have capabilities that are higher than the B-tier aptitude users, however, what if there is appearance of ultra beasts that are simr to the B-tier beast emperor? You could still use some of their help!¡±

    Qin Feng thought differently. ¡°It is unnecessary, I do not want them to share the points!¡±

    The B-tiers who already had grudges against Qin Feng were agitated by the straightforward statement from him, anger was seen on their faces while all of them red at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you might be very powerful, however, do you really think that you can handle all tens of thousands of enemies by yourself?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, you are being too arrogant, do you really think that you are already an A-tier?¡±

    ¡°Although the aircraft might help in withstanding some of the attacks, the B-tier beast emperor could still tear you into pieces, by that time, you will not have time to react and defend yourself!¡±

    ¡°Save the effort, since he does not appreciate our help, we can just exclude ourselves from this mission, this little brat will definitely regret his decision!¡±

    All of the B-tiers were infuriated by Qin Feng¡¯s behavior!

    Qin Feng red at the B-tiers without raising his head, and his Verdant Emperor Saber was instantly drawn out.

    Everyone was struck by a cold chill that ran down their spines.

    They thought that Qin Feng had had enough of them and was about to teach them a lesson.

    In their minds, they knew that Qin Feng had killed Guang Wei, hence, they were being extra cautious about Qin Feng¡¯s action.

    Qin Feng was being very disrespectful toward all of them.

    It was at that moment, Qin Feng swayed his saber and aimed his kill toward a far distance.

    A ray of fuchsia glow exploded and instantly pierced through the skull of a C-tier ultra beast.

    It was an unlucky C-tier ultra beast to crawl out from the spatial rift right after the death of the Pyric Wyvern Emperor, it was left stranded on a t area without any shelter to take cover; with the lingering scent from the dead corpse of the beast emperor, it was instantly alerted by the danger of the surroundings and was about to escape.

    Obviously, Shang Han and the other B-tiers were dposing the corpses and were not aware of the appearance of the ultra beast.

    Unexpectedly, it was Qin Feng who secured the kill with an instant attack that had annihted the C-tier ultra beast!

    Then, a ray of dark light shrouded around the ultra beast and summoned it to Qin Feng¡¯s side.

    ¡°Regent, it seems like you have missed out on this one!¡±

    The dead corpse of the ultra beast was still lingering with its dead scent while most of its capabilities still remained, the blood red eyes were ring at the crowd.

    Everyone was struck speechless.

    Shang Han broke the silence and continued, ¡°Right, I have forgotten that you do have the puppet control ability, however, I will still station five B-tier aptitude users here as your support, and they will not act and storm the front unless you allow them to!¡±

    ¡°If you insist, your call!¡±

    Shang Han insisted on leaving five people with Qin Feng as she had to be extra cautious when it came to matters rting to the entire Far Woond border.

    Despite all five of them who were amazed by Qin Feng¡¯s skills, they still had hard feelings toward him and even wished for the appearance of a horrifying ultra beast so that Qin Feng would suffer a hard time!

    Shang Han then led the remaining B-tiers toward the Far Woond border, discussions on setting up the perimeters of the Far Woond had already begun during the journey on the hover copter, and decisions were instantly made.

    Meaning to say, after all those years, it was Shang Han¡¯s first approach to resolve the threat of horrifying rifts in the area.

    Hence, she had even involved herself in the ground operations and ultra beast hunting to ensure thepletion of the facilities.

    It was also the most secure option to ce Qin Feng at the frontline of the Far Woond rift.

    There was a constant stream of appearance of C-tier ultra beasts, and as soon as they were killed by Qin Feng, they were being summoned by dark abilities as puppets to continue the ughter and contribute to the growing number of the undead army.

    From the first day, the undead army only had a thousand troops.

    Then, it had ballooned to two thousand, three thousand, and even five thousand!

    It had already been a week, and Qin Feng had already dominated his conscious energy control onto ten thousand undead puppets.

    It was at that moment, Qin Feng realized that his conscious energy had arrived at a bottleneck stage.

    Meanwhile, all five aptitude users that were sent by Shang Han expressed their intention to excuse themselves.

    What else was there for them? Were they supposed to witness Qin Feng¡¯s summoned army and his wastages?

    To them, the undead army summoned by Qin Feng were flesh of ultra beasts that were not meant to be collected, in other words, it was a huge temptation for them to just witness the ten thousand C-tier ultra beast materials and not be able to own them.

    However, ultra beast hunting was no longer the profit earning method for Qin Feng as he could just benefit from the profitable operating cycle from his organization.

    Furthermore, to him, wealth was just numbers.

    Qin Feng had something else in mind!

    ¡°The powerful conscious energy would still eventually be restricted by its limit! Also, it was the Godwill As that had allowed me to urately dominate my conscious energy onto such a huge number of ultra beasts!¡±

    Qin Feng resumed with his approach, he eliminated and reced the wounded and less powerful puppets to newer ones.

    Soon, Qin Feng endured the toiling work and consolidated his undead army to a majority of C8-tiers, and more than a thousand B-tier ultra beasts.

    The massive capacity of the undead army could easily annihte and take down an entire city.

    The unexpected Far Woond beast wave that hadmenced in advance hadsted for half a month, with exception on the first round of casualties, the remaining period of the beast wave was in total control. The Far Woond was in an extremely safe state and uninterrupted by any ultra beasts.

    It was because all of the ultra beasts were being intercepted and contained by Qin Feng within a one-kilometer radius of the Far Woond rift.

    The drones were also there for information transmission and situational backup, however, the aptitude users noticed that they were no longer needed as soon as they had seen the horrifying undead army.

    ¡°Qin Feng was the one who killed Guang Wei, and yet still received such special treatment from Regent Shang; from my previous presumption, I thought that it was a retaliation move from the regent against Guang Wei¡¯s mistake that had caused the death of Fire Lord Cui Lian, however, it seems like...¡±

    ¡°Regent Shang still has her sharp and merciless point of view, and if Qin Feng were to remain in Beihua City, he would certainly be an influential figure in the future!¡±

    ¡°Perhaps, a horrifying wave of influence is in the making!¡±

    Of course, despite the views from the B-tiers, they were only being cautious toward Qin Feng, and none of them had the intention to suppress him from moving forward.

    Obviously, the first reason was because of Qin Feng¡¯s horrifying capabilities, and secondly, Qin Feng had no intention of shifting his Fengli Organization to Beihua City at all.

    Some of the ancient warrior families had also joined the discussion.

    ¡°Qin Feng has yet to be a threat, despite his strong capabilities, he does not have enough C-tier aptitude users under him to push for greater achievements.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, he is just a single powerful person, it does not mean anything, and there is nothing to be worried about.¡±

    ¡°However, if he were to achieve B-tier, his capability might even surpass the regent!¡±

    ¡°Perhaps, such a Hero ss would most likely remain at the Dragon Capital!¡±

 Chapter 530 - Establishing Far Woodland

    <h4>Chapter 530: Establishing Far Woond</h4>

    Despite the wild guesses from the others and Qin Feng being put under the spotlight, Qin Feng remained unbothered by the others¡¯ views.

    In fact, it was Qin Feng that had caused the advancemencement of the beast wave during his first exploration into the Far Woond rift. The dead corpse of the Pyric Wyvern Emperor had triggered the explosion, which was then followed by the regr ultra beast migration.

    Hence, the duration of the Far Woond beast wave was much longer than expected!

    Itsted for about a month.

    Within the month, Qin Feng¡¯s kills on ultra beasts had spiked tremendously along with his points.

    Soon, there were about ten thousand B-tier ultra beasts that had appeared, whenbined with C-tier ultra beasts, there were two hundred thousand of them in total.

    The Far Woond rift had turned into a ughter ce, the greyish-ck solidifiedva-ash ground had also been covered with fresh red blood.

    ¡°Nobody is harvesting this ultra beast, quick!¡±

    ¡°Drag it away, and don¡¯t stay close to the battlefield, are you not afraid of dying?¡±

    ¡°Quick, the aircraft from the organization is here, move up the cargo!¡±

    There were three aircraft that had arrived at the edge of the Far Woond rift, the massively sized aircrafts equipped withrge conveyor belt and warehouse were meant for cargo shipping, and it was there to ship ultra beast materials that were obtained by Qin Feng.

    Although Bai Li might have unlimited space for usage, it would be inappropriate to reveal such capabilities. Knowing that the materials would require processing, Qin Feng had decided to allow Xue Xinfu, E-tier aptitude users sent from the Fengli Organization, professional harvesters, and even some of the ordinary people to help with the material processing.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    A deafening roar echoed in the surroundings as a gigantic ultra beast exited from the spatial rift.

    Qin Feng activated his conscious energy and identified a group of ultra beasts that was at least ranked at B-tier, he immediately rushed toward the direction and forced all of his energy onto the ultra beast that had juste out. He was then being aimed at by a sh attack from a gigantic ultra beast with its swordlike arm, the ultra beast that had juste out did not even have the chance to have a clear view on the surroundings and it was instantly annihted.

    It was like a scapegoat that had sent itself onto the path to death.

    ¡°This is the fourteenth kill of the day, however, from the frequency of the appearance of the ultra beast, it seems like the Far Woond beast wave is about to end!¡± Guo Guan stood before Qin Feng and pointed out humbly.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right, fortunately it is about to end as the Prodigy Tournament will begin in several days!¡±

    ¡°Beep beep beep!¡±

    Qin Feng checked on hismunicator and answered the call.

    Shang Han appeared before him.

    ¡°Qin Feng, the protection barrier will be activated in half an hour, the aircrafts from your organization have to evacuate earlier!¡±

    ¡°Understood!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, watch out on your timing!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    The call ended and Qin Feng looked toward the group of workers who had rushed toward the dead corpses again, they were ignoring the horrifying bearings of the puppet army and were fullymitted in their dposing job while smiling.

    The beast wave had earned Qin Feng a great fortune.

    ¡°Prepare for closing, everyone has to return to the aircraft after dposing this ultra beast!¡±

    Qin Feng instructed using his internal strength, it had allowed everyone within the radius of tens of thousands of meters to receive the instruction.

    ¡°Affirmative, Director!¡±

    Almost everyone shouted and acknowledged the instruction.

    They were even ignoring the fact that Qin Feng might not hear from their low volume shouting.

    However, everyone had great reverence and adoration toward their director, the one who had single-handedly hunted down such a great number of ultra beasts and their valuable materials.

    Soon, thest ultra beast dposition had ended within twenty minutes, and everyone had stepped onto the aircraft.

    Meanwhile, there were no new ultra beast appearances from the rift anymore.

    The beast wave has ended, and any other new ultra beast appearance would only ur by random idents.

    Qin Feng looked toward the undead army that he hadmanded for the past month and activated his conscious energy again.

    Without any signs, the undead army was swept across by a wave of turbulence.

    Swoosh!

    A C8-tier puppet ultra beast was the first to take the hit from the turbulence, its gigantic decayed and withered body instantly copsed onto the ground, ashes scattered around as energy began to leave its body and its bone structure shattered into pieces.

    Whoosh!

    The ultra beasts were like dominos that copsed simultaneously.

    Even those B-tier puppet corpses were only left with their skeletal structure.

    It was an extremely astonishing view, and it was like the true depiction of thend of buried bones.

    Qin Feng waved his hand and countless numbers of energy cores flew up.

    The remaining energy from the ultra beasts that were polluted by dark energy had consolidated into cores that were formed on their chests, it was the cores that hadmanded the corpses to continue with their battles.

    Also, the cores were thest bits of wealth that the puppets could provide, and Qin Feng would certainly not miss out on those.

    Qin Feng collected ten thousand energy cores for himself and then entered into the aircraft.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng gave his order, meanwhile, instructions were given by Guo Guan to all of the gigantic hovering aircrafts to ascend simultaneously.

    The gigantic aircrafts could even be seen from a far distance.

    Shang Han noticed the aircrafts that had ascended and gave herst order.

    As soon as the aircrafts had risen up to the sky, the giant city wall from afar had alsoe into sight.

    The insane construction process for the past one month had resulted in city walls that were a hundred meter in height that stood around the Far Woond rift, the walls were even equipped with countless numbers of defense barrier projectors.

    At that moment, the projectors shot out explosive energy simultaneously that formed into light rays that intertwined and circled around each other, a quarantine wall was then gradually shaped.

    The skies within the Far Woond rift had turned pitch-ck as countless amounts of dark energy swarmed the entire area.

    The presence of dark energy within the Far Woond rift would absorb every source of energy in the environment, regardless of flowers and nts or ultra beasts.

    Such energy would gradually transform the environment into a barrennd, and it would be like the Northern Abyss rift.

    By then, ultra beasts that appeared would disfavor the inhabitable environment and begin to leave the area. However, with such a passive approach, it would at least take ten years, twenty years, or even hundreds of years for sess.

    Compared to ages ago, the control that the Northern Abyss had was already much better, however, it had still yet to achieveplete prohibition of ultra beasts.

    Qin Feng kept his serious expression as he stood in the aircraft and surveyed the Far Woond rift that had been turned intoplete darkness.

    There were still a lot of undiscovered massively-sized rifts!

    When would the rifts be totally controlled?

    Qin Feng pondered and sank into deep thoughts; he knew there would not be any major changes within the next ten years.

    However, would his rebirth bring changes to all of these and overturn the oue?

    ***

    The aircrafts departed from the Far Woond rift and indicated the totalpletion of the mission given by Shang Han, Qin Feng had chosen to exchange his points for the Sacred me Meteor that he wanted, and he had taken away an important item from the treasure vault of Beihua City.

    To the entire Beihua City, it was considered a huge loss!

    To Shang Han, it was all worth it to hand it over to Qin Feng.

    However, to the Cui Family, it was an unfortunate event for them to lose their family-inherited Sacred me Meteor that had consistently allowed them to awaken aptitude users.

 Chapter 531 - Honorary Mayor

    <h4>Chapter 531: Honorary Mayor</h4>

    At the moment, Shang Han could also be reducing the influence of the Cui family in Beihua City. However, despite knowing this, the Cuis did not dare to say anything about it.

    On top of that, Shang Han even held a massive feast after the Far Woond was found. And she had ensured that this feast would be held every year too. Every time there was a session of ultra beast wave, many warriors would die fighting these beasts. Thus, she needed an event to gather everyone to redistribute loot and authorities.

    However, there could only be one winner this year¡ªQin Feng!

    During the feast, everyone wore finely made suits and brought their beautiful girlfriends.

    As they danced to the music, it would appear that no one remembered all the deaths and danger that were happening all around them in this post-apocalyptic world.

    The ones who attended the feast were mostly B-tiers. There were a few C-tiers at the scene; however, most of them were merely underlings who tagged along with their B-tier superiors.

    Other than that, there were also many photographers in the feast. They came from the Public Rtion Department of Beihua City¡ªit was their job to spread the word about the efforts of fighting off the ultra beast waves to the general public.

    This was not just a duty of spreading news but also to reassure the citizens that danger had passed and they were in good hands.

    Suddenly, a huge cheer could be heard from the entrance. The photographers sharply picked up on it and rushed to the main door with their cameras.

    A couple walked through the door and into the main hall. Although they both had C-tier badges on their chests, they were the most good-looking couple in the scene.

    The man was tall and handsome like a Greek god while the woman was stunning and exquisite like a goddess. As they stepped into the hall, their appearance seemed to have dulled everything around them.

    ¡°Look! It¡¯s them! Quick, get a good shot of them!¡± An editor of the Public Rtion Department urged.

    The photographer was amoner. It was quite hard to find someone who knew how to use these machines and gadgets. This young man had recently gotten his awakeningst year but there was no unique power awakened in him.

    ¡°Editor, these two are just C-tiers. What¡¯s the point? Because they¡¯re good looking? Is that it?¡±

    The editor smirked. ¡°See? This is why you¡¯re just a low-ranked schmuck and I¡¯m an editor. How did you survive this long in the department by being so ignorant?!¡±

    ¡°Fine... Fine!¡±

    Still not understanding what the deal was, the photographer raised his camera and pointed it at the C-tiers. However, all he did was just simply point it at them and did not make much effort to get a good picture of them.

    Then, suddenly, he saw something that was beyond hisprehension.

    A group of high-ranked B-tiers walked toward the C-tier couple to wee them passionately.

    ¡°It¡¯s CEO Qin!¡±

    ¡°Governor Qin! Ms Bai!¡±

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re here early! Come, take a seat! We have a lot to catch up on!¡±

    In less than a minute, Qin Feng was led to a table and sat together with Beihua City¡¯s top generals, nobles, and the renowned ancient warrior families.

    The only one that left the table was Shang Han.

    Shang Han walked to the stage of the hall and started reporting on the recent battle.

    ¡°In the recent Far Woond ultra beast wave, we managed to y 220,000 C-tier ultra beasts, 32,000 C-tier beast soldiers, 134 C-tier beast generals, 18 C-tier beast kings, 2 C-tier beast emperors, 20,000 B-tier ultra beasts...¡±

    Slowly, she revealed the numbers.

    It was obvious that the little photographer knew what these numbers meant. His eyes widened as he realized that the number of kills seemed to have doubledpared tost year.

    In the past, it was not difficult to contain these ultra beasts in front of the rift. Many would wander out to the Far Woond territory and start wreaking havoc in the area. This was why civilians were forbidden to enter it.

    ¡°So many ughtered ultra beasts! I wonder what the casualties were like?¡±

    It was then, Shang Han reported, ¡°As for the casualties, we lost 381 Beihua City soldiers!¡±

    This casualty happened during the time when Shang Han led the soldiers to contain the ultra beasts inside Far Woond.

    ¡°What?! We only suffered one twentieth of casualtiespared tost year! How?!¡±

    The photographer was stunned when he heard this.

    However, he got his answer almost instantly¡ªShang Han continued speaking to the microphone, ¡°This great victory is all thanks to one man. He¡¯s the main person who did all the work to contain this round of ultra beast wave!¡±

    Then, a video was projected on a screen behind her.

    It was the video of Qin Feng ughtering the ultra beasts in Far Woond. It featured how he annihted the ultra beasts with various skills¡ªincluding his Fire Wall!

    Not only that, the video also featured Qin Feng working together with Shang Han to take down the Pyric Wyvern.

    It was a mere 30-second video. However, it featured all the best moments in the expedition.

    All the horrifying ultra beasts were decimated almost instantly by Qin Feng.

    Of course, the video did not show how Qin Feng reanimated the dead ultra beasts and took control of them to fight the remaining waves. It was quite difficult to ask themon, ignorant public to understand the dark ability. Besides, this was also Qin Feng¡¯s trump card. As such, it was best to not reveal it to the public.

    As the video ended, many C-tiers andmoners who did not get the news were shocked.

    Then, Shang Han continued on with her report on Qin Feng¡¯s achievements¡ªhe alone had ughtered 8 waves of ultra beasts. Not only that, he was also the one who had in the beast soldiers, beast kings and beast emperors.

    ¡°Thus, I hereby announce that Qin Feng is, from here on, the honorary Mayor of Beihua City!¡±

    A loud, mix of cheer and gasp roared and echoed in the hall.

    In fact, even Qin Feng was surprised to hear this.

    However, it did not take long for him to calm down and understand why Shang Han did this.

    The ¡°Honorary Mayor¡± was just a title with no authority and responsibility to the city. It was a title as equivalent to the elders in the ancient warrior families. All the title gave him was additional ie and some poprity. And the only responsibility the title would ask of him was to aid the city when it was in danger.

    This title would do nothing to limit him from continuing to do his own thing; and it brought more honor and glory to him as a person!

    Hence, Qin Feng did not mind Shang Han¡¯s spontaneous decision and walked to the stage to receive the honor.

    Under the bright lights, it was clear as day that Qin Feng was a really young and youthful man.

    To many, he seemed like someone who had walked out of a page of fairy tales.

    Although he was made only an honorary mayor, this meant a lot to others. Beihua City was the heart of the northern region and Shang Han had always been the mayor of the city. The one below her¡ªthe Vice Mayor was the now deceased Cui Lian.

    As such, with Qin Feng bing the honorary mayor of the city, this meant that he was now considered a priceless asset to the city. He was now a noble amongst the nobles!

    Many B-tiers were feeling sour from this decision but they still epted it begrudgingly. How could they object to it? If they wanted to object, they would need to prove themselves more useful than Qin Feng. And as for now, not one of them could do it.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I would like to express the greatest gratitude from Beihua City!¡± Shang Han took out a special badge and handed it to Qin Feng, with everyone in the hall as witnesses.

    He was now the Honorary Mayor of Beihua!

    ¡°I was merely fulfilling my duty as a member of the Human Alliance, Regent Shang.¡±

    As Qin Feng humbly epted the badge, the people started to cheer for him.

    It did not take long before the news spread to the public like wildfire, shocking the whole city.

 Chapter 532 - Dragon Capital

    <h4>Chapter 532: Dragon Capital</h4>

    Just who was this Qin Feng?

    Well, he was a prodigy that had recently made his appearance at Beihua City. And now, word had it that he was the one who stopped the ultra beast wave¡ªand he did it alone.

    The man was an absolute beast!

    After hearing this news, many felt as though they were listening to a fairy tale.

    ¡°No way? That Qin Feng?¡±

    ¡°Could it be it¡¯s just a guy with the same name?¡±

    ¡°Holy Cow! This guy is only a C-tier!¡±

    Everyone¡¯s jaw was rolling on the ground.

    In a short time, Qin Feng was now a household name. The ones who were wary of Qin Feng, thinking that he might actually make his way to Dragon Capital for the Prodigy Tournament, now did not know what to expect next.

    If Qin Feng were to venture to Dragon Capital, it would be a good oue for them. However, if he were not able to attain the glory he wanted and came back to Beihua City, there could be a huge tremor in the current distribution of resources in the city.

    Still, when they thought about it, there was no way Qin Feng would not be able to perform when he went to Dragon Capital.

    In the tournament, most of the participants were merely D-tier!

    It would be a piece of cake for Qin Feng to beat them.

    In fact, it would be like an adult bullying toddlers.

    ***

    After the feast was over, there was very little time left before the next match in the Prodigy Tournament. There was only one-day left. Thus, Shang Han activated the city¡¯s long-distance teleportation device and brought ten men with her to Dragon Capital.

    Back then, this was all Cui Lian¡¯s job.

    Originally, Shang Han wanted to just assign a B9-tier aptitude user to Dragon Capital on her behalf. However, this was Dragon Capital¡ªa ce where A-tiers and B-tiers were literally everywhere.

    On top of that, Qin Feng was part of the team on this trip. As such, Shang Han decided to go to Dragon Capital herself.

    After beaming their conscious energy into the device, the aptitude users were able to activate the Dimension Runes before a huge,plicated dimensional tunnel started to bridge the two cities.

    Voom!!

    As a sh of silver light beamed up, a dimensional portal appeared before them.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Shang Han was the first to step into the portal. Then, it was Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s turns before the other nine members tailed behind.

    It was dark inside the portal. There was no light source whatsoever; however, everyone could feel a tenacious pressure pressing on them from all directions.

    And then, in the blink of an eye, they were able to see a huge za appearing before them¡ªthey had now stepped out of the dimensional tunnel.

    There was nothing in the za. Not a soul or transportation at all.

    However, Qin Feng knew this was the teleportation zone just outside of Dragon Capital. He turned around... and there it was¡ªa gigantic construction appeared before his eyes. From afar, the structure looked like a rising eastern dragon. The structure was so tall that it seemed as though it was indeed a real dragon, trying to fly up and shear through the sky.

    ¡°Whoah!!¡±

    The nine other members cried out in astonishment when they saw this.

    ¡°So... So this is Dragon Capital?¡±

    They did not expect that the Dragon Capital would be shaped like a real dragon!

    It was then, a man walked toward the group from afar. He appeared to be a B-tier, wearing a unique uniform¡ªan indication that he was part of the patrol units of Dragon Capital.

    ¡°Identifications, please?¡± The man opened his mouth as he scanned the group. When he saw the D-tier and C-tier badges on their chests, he could not help but frown.

    However, when he saw Shang Han, his brows curved up in surprise. ¡°Oh! Greetings, Regent Shang!¡±

    There were only four regents in the Huaxia region¡ªeach taking up their own territory in the north, east, west and south side of the region. As such, it did not take long for the B-tier patrol to recognize her.

    ¡°Greetings. I¡¯ve brought the participants for the Prodigy Tournament. Here¡¯s their identification.¡± Shang Han answered before showing the patrol some digital documents.

    After a brief check, the patrol nodded. ¡°Identification verified. Here¡¯s the Entry Pass for the Dragon Capital. Every transaction inside the city is done via Power Credits. In order to gain entry into Dragon Capital, you¡¯ll need to pay 1000 Power Credits.¡±

    1000 Power Credits was equivalent to 10,000,000. These participants were all D-tiers; hence, they had the money. In less than a minute, they all took out their wallets and paid the fee. In less than a second, the number ¡°1000¡± appeared on the Entry Pass.

    ¡°Okay, you may now enter. Just following this road will do. It will lead you straight into the city!¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Shang Han waved a hand and summoned a hover tank. Seeing this, Qin Feng too summoned his Silver Bolt so Bai Li, Zhou Hao and Jin Fei could ride with him in the same ride.

    The others too summoned their own transportation. These were all prodigies after all ¡ªit did not matter how lowly their background was before this, right now they could all afford to own their own hover tanks¡ªeven Han Jun had his own ride!

    ¡°Wow, the fee to enter Dragon Capital is so expensive. Now I understand why people say that the living cost inside Dragon Capital is really high!¡± Zhou Hao took a good look at the Entry Pass in his hand before putting it in his pocket dimension.

    ¡°That¡¯s Dragon Capital for you, my friend!¡± Qin Feng gave him a casual response and did not say anything further.

    When they entered the city, they would know just how different this city was!

    ¡°Still, Dragon Capital is quite a ce! Even a patrol is a B-tier. It seems that there are a lot of powerful people in the city!¡± Jin Fei said.

    Qin Feng responded with a smile. Again, this was the Dragon Capital. If one did not have powers as great as that, it would be very difficult for one to live in Dragon Capital.

    Qin Feng activated Silver Bolt¡¯s lock-on system and had it follow Shang Han¡¯s tank. As time went by, Zhou Hao and Jin Fei had stopped chatting as they realized just how long it took for them to even get near the city.

    Even Bai Li was surprised to see how long the journey was. She poked out her head to check the end of the road.

    Despite how near it looked, it took half an hour for their vehicles to get near the city.

    As they got closer and closer, the structure they saw from afar was now no longer a dragon.

    It was now a gigantic, fortified wall. The wall was so huge that it seemed like it was extending endlessly to each side of the horizons.

    And each of the dragon¡¯s ¡°scale¡± was actually massive, imprable boulders.

    From the looks of it, it was unthinkable just how gigantic Dragon Capital was.

    Raising their heads, they could not see just how tall and wide the city was.

    Qin Feng looked at his friends and opened his mouth, ¡°No one knows just how huge Dragon Capital is. However, I do know that Dragon Capital is around 3000 meters tall. Each 100 meter is a level. The higher you go, the more powerful the people are!¡±

    ¡°What??¡± Zhou Hao and Jin Fei were bewildered by Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    This Dragon Capital... it was a mortifying ce indeed.

    Qin Feng beamed up with a smile. ¡°The leader of Dragon Capital is Long Ting. She¡¯s currently 130 years old and an S-tier ancient warrior. There¡¯s also another leader¡ªDu Nian. He¡¯s 150 years old and an S-tier earth-type aptitude user.¡±

    ¡°The Dragon Empress and Heavy Earth Emperor!¡±

    Zhou Hao suddenly blurted out their titles. He could not believe what he had heard. To him, these two were myths in their hometown. And yet, his friend was telling him that they were real.

    As they got closer and closer to Dragon Capital, Zhou Hao and Jin Fei were petrified by what they had learned.

    The city itself was already so majestic and mortifying. Now, just how powerful were these two persons if they were the ones who founded the city?

    ¡°Dragon Capital!¡±

    A smile curved up on Qin Feng¡¯s face as he mumbled the city¡¯s name, ¡°It¡¯s been a while!¡±

 Chapter 533 - Doves Donâ€™t Mate With Crows

    <h4>Chapter 533: Doves Don¡¯t Mate With Crows</h4>

    Before experiencing rebirth, Qin Feng had been to Dragon Capital a few times.

    This was indeed the center of the entire Huaxia¡¯s government. It was more of a fortress than a city.

    There were countless A-tiers in the city and most of them did not originate from Dragon Capital itself. When they were in the city, they were not able to acquire special treatments at all like they would outside of the city¡¯s walls.

    Qin Feng was a king amongst the mercenaries. He hade here to Dragon Capital back then because it could offer countless missions and contracts. When he first came here, Qin Feng too felt excited.

    Now, this was all just some unique scenery to him.

    Finally, their vehicles had arrived at the entrance¡ªa fifty-meter tall gate. Looking from afar, this gate appeared to be just like the other massive scales of the dragons.

    ¡°Dragon Capital monitors everyone digitally who enters through the gate. So, all you have to do is sh out your identification and scan at the entrance.¡± Shang Han informed everyone via the vehicles¡¯municators.

    As they got closer, the hover tanks lowered down to the ground and zipped into the gate. Shang Han¡¯s vehicle was the first to enter. She rolled down her tank¡¯s window and shed out her silver card.

    It was quite apparent that Shang Han¡¯s card was different from the others¡ªQin Feng¡¯s and the others¡¯ were white in color.

    As they scanned their identification, the gate let them through. The vehicles then drove through a passage after the gate. Everyone thought that there would be another long drive through in that fifty-meter wide passage again and be weed by artificial lights in the encased city. However, as their vehicles got in, their eyes widened in amazement.

    The first thing they noticed was that there was sunlight. Despite the city¡¯s turtled up structure, they could see the bright sky from inside the city.

    Of course, Qin Feng knew this ¡°sunlight¡± and ¡°bright sky¡± were fake.

    ¡°What you see above is the result of the heights of artificial climate technology in Dragon Capital. The city could maintain artificial sunlight and rain via crystal cores. On top of that, thend here is brimming with heaven and earth spirit aura. When they install special runes and diagrams at great expense of crystal cores, everyone who is born inside the Dragon Capital has a 100% chance of being awakened with abilities!¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

    100%?

    When they recalled, the ones in Chengbei colony only had 15% rate of awakening.

    Qin Feng continued with his exnation, ¡°Amongst the awakened, 30% are aptitude users. And every one of them could awaken ancient warrior talents. This is why every single citizen of this city is a capable warrior!¡±

    Zhou Hao and Jin Fei felt great pressure after hearing this.

    Meanwhile, Bai Li looked around and said, ¡°Oooh! The environment here seems cozy!¡±

    Jin Fei mustered a bitter smile. ¡°Not just the environment. The people here seem very happy. Look. Every child and elderly that our vehicle passed by were showing genuine smiles andughter. ¡±

    Jin Fei was from the City of Death.

    Every single person in that city lived cautiously. They needed to be aware of their surroundings because every soul around them could mug or murder them for a penny. A joyful city like this was like a fairy tale for him.

    ¡°Yes, you are right. To many, this city is heaven. There is no danger whatsoever in here!¡±

    As they were talking, clouds started to envelop the sky before a light drizzle started to shower the city. Under the artificial sunlight, an arc of rainbow formed above them as the drizzle continued to lightly shower on them.

    The scenery was quite rxing.

    Thus, no one talked in the vehicle again as they continued to drive for another ten minutes before reaching a majestic hotel.

    As their vehicles parked outside, they got down and walked into the hotel.

    This hotel was, of course, where they would be staying.

    As they were checking in, a man walked out of the lobby¡¯s lift. He stopped and took a look at Qin Feng and the others.

    ¡°Oh? Shang Han? Is that you?¡±

    Qin Feng instinctively looked at the lean, skinny man who was giving Shang Han a sly look.

    Qin Feng frowned.

    He did not know this man. However, he was sure this man was an A-tier.

    This would mean that this man was already gone when Qin Feng ranked up to be an A-rank back then.

    ¡°Ah, it¡¯s General Ge!¡± A glimpse of annoyance could be seen on Shang Han¡¯s face before she forced up a smile to greet the man.

    This man was Ge Lang¡ªan ancient warrior from the west region of Huaxia. Needless to say, he was quite powerful too. In fact, he was as strong as Cui Lian.

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯re leading this group of kids yourself? Ah, yes. Of course. Cui Lian had recently passed away. And now you¡¯re a widow, eh? Hahaha! Hey, how about I marry you? Perhaps then, I would aid you in managing the north for you, aye?¡± Ge Lang¡¯s joke was sleazy and unfunny.

    On top of that, it was very disrespectful.

    Even though Shang Han and Cui Lian did not really love one another, he was still her husband. Instead of giving her some words offort, this sleazebag tried to take advantage of her.

    Shang Han pulled up a long face after hearing this.

    Not only her, the prodigies too were enraged by his words. However, they dared not to call him up on it because he had an A-tier badge pinned on his chest.

    ¡°Heh, is it General Ge? You know, I wonder if you¡¯ve heard this saying before?¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    ¡°Oh? What saying?¡± Ge Lang instinctively looked at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Doves don¡¯t mate with crows!¡±

    After hearing Qin Feng¡¯s roasting, the prodigies who were standing behind him started tough out loud. Even Bai Li could not help but to burst intoughter too.

    Shang Han was now more rxed as she nodded to Qin Feng, indicating that she appreciated him standing up for her.

    She was a powerful regent. However, she was also a woman. No matter how strongly she protested, she would still not be treated seriously.

    Ge Lang, on the other hand, red at Qin Feng furiously¡ªit felt as though his aura was going to explode in his face!

    ¡°What a little brat! How dare you talk to me like that? Do you not know who I am?¡± Ge Lang barked out furiously as he unleashed a powerful wave of auric pressure on Qin Feng.

    Booom!

    Seeing this, Shang Han too unleashed her own aura. In an instant, the two powerful auric waves shed with one another.

    ¡°General Ge, I could say the same to you too. How dare you insult me like this? Do you not value your own life? You know, I could murder the sh*t out of you because of your insolence!¡±

    Shang Han¡¯s murderous intent was clear as day.

    As the two powerful A-tiers were locking eyes with one another, freezing the air around them, everyone else in the lobby was so scared that they dared not make a sound. Even the receptionists were shaking profusely in fear.

    It was then, another person walked into the lobby.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on here, huh? Oh, it¡¯s Regent Shang. C¡¯mon now, the matches have not even started yet. It¡¯s not nice to fight right now.¡± A soft, warm voice rippled through the air and cut off the two tenacious auras.

    It was a middle-aged, fair-skinned man with an elegant vibe.

    This time, Qin Feng recognized who this was.

    This man was, in the time before Qin Feng was reborn, one of the strongest men in the south¡ªthe A8-tier Nangong Shi.

    However, with a quick nce at Nangong Shi¡¯s chest, Qin Feng realized that he was still at A3-tier. Perhaps, this man was still climbing steadily to the A8-tier in the next nine years. He also noticed that Nangong Shi was a water-type aptitude user¡ªthe calming voice that cut off Shang Han and Ge Lang¡¯s auras was a water-type aura.

    Ge Lang and Shang Han retracted their auras; however, Ge Lang did not seem to have let Qin Feng go. He red at Qin Feng. ¡°Hehe, Shang Han. I¡¯ll let you go this time. But! You¡¯ll have to hand me this brat! I¡¯ll discipline him for you personally!¡±

 Chapter 534 - Iâ€™ll Teach Him A Lesson For You

    <h4>Chapter 534: I¡¯ll Teach Him A Lesson For You</h4>

    ¡°Before you teach any lessons at all, I suggest you go wash that vulgar mouth of yours!¡±

    Shang Han raising her brows meant that she was about to take action.

    Obviously, Qin Feng required her protection.

    At this time, a young man with a prideful look on his face who stood behind Ge Lang suddenly said, ¡°General, you can stay your hand. Wouldn¡¯t this person happen to be a contestant in the Prodigy Tournament? It just so happens that everyone needs to go and train, we could swap pointers with each other!¡±

    The young man stared at Qin Feng with a challenging gaze, feeling delight in his heart as he believed that this was his moment.

    That was because he saw how Shang Han was defending Qin Feng due to him helping her speak.

    As for himself, so long as he helped Ge Lang take down Qin Feng then he would naturally gain Ge Lang¡¯s trust and be treated favorably.

    There were other youths behind Ge Lang who started to talk as if in a rush, afraid that they might fall behind.

    ¡°That¡¯s right General Ge, you can stay your hand because I¡¯ll do it!¡±

    ¡°Kid, don¡¯t be arrogant! How dare you speak to an A-tier that way, I¡¯ll teach you how to behave!¡±

    The North Sea prodigies on Qin Feng¡¯s side gave the West Region strangers weird looks.

    Nan Gongshi quickly said, ¡°Don¡¯t be like this! Why is everyone so fired up!¡±

    Just as he finished speaking, he heard two people say in unison, ¡°Fine!¡±

    These two were actually Shang Han and Ge Lang.

    Ge Lang let out a shoulder-shakingugh, ¡°Shang Han, it¡¯s your words. If you lose, then you¡¯ll admit you¡¯re a widow! By then you¡¯ll be marrying me!¡±

    Shang Han¡¯s eyes glinted with a piercing icy stare. ¡°And if you lose, you¡¯ll admit you¡¯re a toad and leap one round around the Dragon Capital just like a toad!¡±

    Qin Feng thought that Shang Han¡¯s bet was not ruthless enough, the other person was basically being a bully while she was being merciful.

    However, it did not seem like a huge bet, everyone knew that this was about the matter of keeping face and whoever lost would have a hard time.

    Of course, the stares between these two were full of hatred.

    Obviously the grudges between them were only getting bigger!

    The North Sea prodigies had only just gone through formalities and had not even checked into their hotel yet, but they all walked out together.

    Along with Nan Gongshi, who just shook his head and followed after the rest.

    After all, this was the best way to witness the strength between the two teams.

    Everyone in the Dragon Capital practiced martial arts, there were all kinds of martial arts based venues located almost everywhere. They were also the most weing ces. They did not have to walk very far, as there was arge martial arts hall just fifty meters away.

    The hall was a huge building and was defended by several E-tier security guards.

    The moment the staff saw a group of people, they instantly knew that Ge Lang was the one leading them.

    After all, the hall had been booked by Ge Lang for the next three days.

    ¡°General Ge Lang is here. Ahem, for these other two sirs, are you training together? I¡¯ll make the arrangements immediately!¡±

    When the staff saw Shang Han and Nan Gongshi, their eyes drifted to the A-tier badges on their chest.

    ¡°No need, they won¡¯t be training here. Just arrange abat ring for me!¡±

    It turned out to be apetition!

    ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll arrange that immediately! Distinguished guests! This way please!¡±

    Having said that, the staff led the crowd to an elevator before taking them down underground. There was an area that was a hundred by a hundred meters. It had a function that allowed it to project holographic images. While the projections had no physical effects, it could be used to simte different kinds of environments.

    For example, arge tree could be generated to block someone¡¯s line of sight or be used as an ambush spot.

    But these were all used to train E-tier aptitude users. Qin Feng and the rest were at least D-tier, they all had stable internal force and had no need for this kind of training.

    Without a backdrop, it was only argebat ring with a circle of seats around it. That was where everyone sat down.

    Qin Feng stepped into the ring.

    Ge Lang nced over to the prodigies beside him and picked someone out. ¡°You¡¯re up!¡±

    This person did not say anything about fighting before, but he definitely looked like the strongest one.

    ¡°Don¡¯t hold back and fight like your life depended on it. Just don¡¯t kill him!¡±

    Ge Lang used his internal force to transmit the message, the conversation between these two would not have been heard by anyone else.

    His chosen fighter was unruly and rebellious. While he respected Ge Lang he was no sycophant, he was obviously a young man with absolute strength.

    ¡°Just leave it to me General Ge Lang. There¡¯s three days left before thepetition, so I¡¯ll put him out for three whole months!¡±

    Ge Lang was in a good mood after those words and added, ¡°Once it¡¯s done, you¡¯ll be rewarded handsomely.¡±

    ¡°Oh, then congrattions in advance for marrying a lovely wife, General Ge Lang!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, that olddy? A lovely wife? When I take her down, she¡¯ll know just how powerful I am!¡± There was a trace of nefariousness in Ge Lang¡¯s eyes. Shang Han was not a very beautiful woman, but her status was too high. He wanted to humiliate her.

    After that, the young man did not dare say anything else. He understood that Shang Han was an A-tier and he had to be very careful when speaking about such things.

    Soon, he stepped into the ring and stood in front of Qin Feng.

    ¡°West Region¡¯s Yangzhang state¡¯s Ai Duo! A D3 ancient warrior, a pleasure!¡±

    Ai Duo was obviously one of the strongest prodigies from the West Region.

    In the North Region, even their strongest, Han Jun, could only reach D1 tier after a month of cultivation and ranking up. The others had only just entered D-tier.

    But a D3-tier had actually appeared in the West Region, no wonder Ge Lang was so confident this time.

    However, they would have never imagined that a freak like Qin Feng would appear in the North Region.

    ¡°North Region¡¯s North Sea state, Qin Feng!¡±

    Qin Feng replied, but did not announce his tier.

    He still was not wearing his aptitude user badge, and that was the scary thing about him.

    Ai Duo frowned, realizing that Qin Feng did not announce his tier but he decided to not ask.

    After all, in his mind, no matter how strong his opponent was they could not be stronger than him.

    The West Region was rich with spirit herbs. Ai Duo identally ate a powerful spirit grass that was ranked as S-tier, it stunted his talents but its power still remained inside his dantian, the cultivation of it yet to bepleted.

    But the energy this herb provided improved his power by leaps and bounds.

    He felt that he would not be any less powerful than Qin Feng.

    ¡°Make your move!¡±

    Ai Duo went into a stance that put him on guard against Qin Feng. If his opponent was an ability user, then he would also be ready.

    Qin Feng raised his hands. He felt that it was meaningless for him to step into a ring like this, but he did not want Shang Han to get humiliated, which was why he was not too fierce in his attack.

    He clenched his right hand into a fist and burst out with a punch. The internal force surrounding him seemed to condense into a solid substance.

    The shadow of a fist rushed toward Ai Duo¡¯s face.

    ¡°What?!¡± Ai Duo¡¯s eyes widened, seeing that this shadowy fist wasing in at an incredibly high speed.

    He knew that this was not any kind of martial art move, but an outburst of internal force, even then the internal force in this punch was too much!

    ¡°Aaahhh! Block it!¡±

    Ai Duo¡¯s internal force erupted, injecting his arms with internal force before bracing them together for the iing impact.

 Chapter 535 - Defeated In The Blink Of An Eye

    <h4>Chapter 535: Defeated In The Blink Of An Eye</h4>

    This powerful wave of internal force eventually reached Ai Duo.

    Crash!

    There was a clear popping sound as the internal force protecting Ai Duo shattered instantly.

    The fist-shaped internal force attack collided with his body.

    Boom!

    He was sent flying from the blow.

    The massive surge of energy sent him tumbling fifty meters away before he crashed into the edge of the ring

    The hall did not turn on its energy field, which meant that the internal-force-shattered Ai Duo crashed into a pir that stood at the edge.

    Boom!

    The sting sound rang out again and this time it was the sound of the pir behind Ai Duo shattering.

    He got up and patted himself down, only to find out that he had sustained no damage at all.

    But did that mean that Qin Feng¡¯s attack was not strong?

    No, it was the opposite. Qin Feng¡¯s attack was so strong that he could even do it with ease.

    It instantly smashed through Ai Duo¡¯s internal force like a freight train, destroying the pir behind his opponent and sending him flying out of the ring.

    That all happened in the span of three seconds.

    Meanwhile, Ge Lang¡¯s taunting smirk still had not left his lips, still looking at Shang Han with an impish look on his face. By the time he turned his head to watch, there was a loud noise and Ai Duo was sprawled on the ground outside of the ring!

    ¡°You lost!¡± Qin Feng said.

    There was a bitter taste in Ai Duo¡¯s mouth as he stared at Qin Feng with a cross of shock and amazement in his heart. Not only did he lose, but he had inexplicably lost.

    He was a D3 ancient warrior, just how powerful was this guy? Not even a D4 or a D5 ancient warrior was that strong!

    ¡°Haha, General Ge, I look forward to seeing you hop around the Dragon Capital. Don¡¯t forget to take a video for me to enjoy!¡± Shang Han snickered.

    ¡°What just happened?¡± Ge Lang had yet to process what was happening in front of him.

    ¡°General, Ai Duo was defeated!¡±

    ¡°Defeated? What a joke, how long was that? Didn¡¯t I just turn my head for a second? He lost? They call this a genius? A prodigy? What absolute garbage!¡±

    Those who originally wanted to get in Ge Lang¡¯s good books all cowered and did not dare speak. He was absolutely enraged at this point.

    ¡°General Ge, ept the loss in this bet you¡¯ve made, unless it¡¯s something you can¡¯t afford to lose!¡± Shang Han sneered.

    Ge Lang¡¯s expression shifted into a grim look. ¡°Who said that I can¡¯t afford to lose! It¡¯s just hopping, so what? You think I won¡¯t do it?¡±

    With a kick of his legs he bolted away, from the looks of it he really was toad hopping about. Then again, it was at the speed of an A-tier ancient warrior, so who could really see it?

    This scene could only be properly tracked by Shang Han and Nan Gongshi, even Qin Feng and Bai Li could only vaguely make out a blurry shape.

    Shang Han expected Ge Lang to be dishonest in this bet, but he did not even blow the issue out of proportion. After all, he was going to get this bad mood out of him!

    ¡°Qin Feng, thank you. Today, I owe you a favor!¡± Shang Han said.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression remained neutral as usual. ¡°If all things that require such little effort could be swapped for favors then the favor of an A-Tier is too cheap!¡±

    Shang Han had developed a more trusting attitude toward Qin Feng by now. After all, she was moved when he came forward to help her.

    After that, she did not leave the martial arts hall. On the contrary, she stayed and rented the ring. Everyone, including Qin Feng, was listening to her instructions.

    ¡°In the Prodigy Tournament, the finals aren¡¯t battles against other people but it¡¯s apetition to y ultra beasts!¡± Shang Han exined.

    Everyone knew this part, this was the kind of tournament that was aired to a massive audience each year.

    ¡°Those who want to ughter these beasts need to enter the Dragon Gate Tower of the Dragon Capital each year. In fact, the Dragon Gate Tower is a secret realm in the center of the Dragon Capital. In addition to other prodigies, there are other people who willingly climb the Tower as long as they pay a fee. The Tower naturally flourishes each year!¡±

    As the others nodded, Shang Han continued, ¡°The truth is that all the ultra beasts you¡¯ve seen the prodigies face before are all fake. The Dragon Gate Tower is made by technology, the ultra beasts you kill won¡¯t be real ultra beasts, but energy projections. What they use is exactly like the holograms they have here. Now you need to train yourselves to be familiarised with these projections. Three days should be enough for that!¡±

    After that, Shang Han activated the hologram projectors and the hundred meter wide arena suddenly manifested the wilderness, with trees and rocks as well as a pack of ultra beasts.

    In the next moment, this pack of beasts suddenly charged forward.

    The prodigies were all caught off guard and immediately activated their abilities or internal force to resist this iing wave, seeing the images shimmer as their attacks only hit thin air.

    The projections shed red from the impact.

    ¡°Beep. Insufficient force used to repel attack!¡±

    The ultra beast then pounced forward and a projection bit down onto the neck of a prodigy.

    The prodigy let out a yelp but when he touched his neck he realized that there were no wounds.

    Then a voice rang out again.

    ¡°Beep. Clearance failed. Eliminated!¡±

    Shang Han turned off the projections and said, ¡°It¡¯ll be just like this, now, let the trainingmence!¡±

    Now that the prodigies could expect what wasing, they immediately passed their next encounter.

    Even Qin Feng started to experiment.

    When an ultra beast charged at Qin Feng, he shed at it with the Verdant Emperor Saber. With just one attack he managed to destroy the projection.

    He seemed to be extremely rxed, his attacks were strong, regardless of speed or strength.

    It was not so easy for the others however.

    The projection was not real so they could not control the intensity of their attacks. If it were too low, then they could not repel an attack, if it were too high then it would be a waste. After only one hour of training, they could feel their energy draining away extremely quickly!

    ¡°Right now you need to control the amount of power you put into your attacks, the Dragon Gate Tower isn¡¯t any different from this. If you want to scale the Dragon Gate Tower you¡¯ll need more power! So learn to control it!¡±

    Shang Han was instructing from a distance.

    Everyone gave it their all in their training.

    Except Qin Feng, who stopped training and bade Shang Han goodbye before deciding to explore the Dragon Capital.

    After one month of intensebat, Qin Feng¡¯s murderous aura was still very strong and he needed to find a soothing environment to rx in.

    As such, with Bai Li at his side, he wandered around the Dragon Capital to do some shopping and even picked up some street food during their adventure. There was a sense of peace that washed over his heart.

    Of course, this kind of leisure onlysted for one afternoon. After that, Qin Feng retreated back to the hotel and shut himself in.

    Countless crystal cores were absorbed and turned into his energy.

    As one got stronger, it became harder to strengthen the physical body. Fortunately, the kind of empowerment that Qin Feng experienced was different from the usual, suffice to say he was basically a humanoid ultra beast.

    Three days went by in the blink of an eye and Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength was almost about to reach C3 tier.

    It needed just a little bit more to advance, but the Prodigy Tournament was about to begin!

 Chapter 536 - The Dragon Gate Tower

    <h4>Chapter 536: The Dragon Gate Tower</h4>

    On that day, a very lively opening ceremony was held.

    The prodigies from all four regions,bined with the D-tier prodigies in the Dragon Capital numbered at more than a hundred people.

    Many of the D-tiers in the Dragon Capital were under twenty years old. Even the strongest among them had reached D6-tier. As such, the other prodigies from the other regions were all overshadowed by them!

    The central za of the Dragon Capital was extremelyrge. There was a multicolored tower in its center that shone with a unique light. If one looked up, they would only see the blue skies above.

    Qin Feng felt as if he was like a frog at the bottom of a well at this moment. He could only look up at the sky above and would never get out for a lifetime.

    Perhaps, humanity was just like this. Most people could only live behind the walls due to the threat of ultra beasts.

    While the Dragon Capital was divided into ten differentyers, it did not mean that it was the same as a normal building. Its most central area was hollowed out, spreading out at a kilometer wide with the special Dragon Gate Tower situated in the middle of it.

    The Dragon Gate Tower was shaped like a miniature version of the Dragon Capital. It had a glittering lusture, as if it was covered in golden scales. Each scale was in fact a door.

    There were a hundred doors that were wrapped around the Tower and as they cleared the levels the Tower¡¯s scales would light up.

    At this moment, the prodigies all approached the Tower!

    ¡°Who do you think is gonna win?¡±

    ¡°What kind of question is that? The Long family showed up, young master Long Gan would definitely win!¡±

    ¡°Long Gan¡¯s only eighteen years old this year and he¡¯s already a D6 aptitude user. He just reached D-tierst year. Maybe he wants to surprise people, which was why he didn¡¯t participate in the preliminaries.¡±

    ¡°Yeah but Ji Ran¡¯s also here too. It¡¯s going to be a really intense battle this year!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t forget, Zhuang Sen is good too. He has a D-tier ultra beast!¡±

    ¡°Three D6s can definitely climb to the top!¡±

    As for the other participants from the other regions, they were only here to increase their knowledge. It could be said that they were justing along for the ride.

    Naturally no one paid attention to the rest, since they were not in their home ground and everyone was unfamiliar with them. That naturally meant that they did not have a warm reception.

    These prodigies knew that they would not be as powerful as the other prodigies from the Dragon Capital.

    The gap was just too big.

    ¡°Now, contestants enter the Dragon Gate Tower!¡±

    All of a sudden, a hundred something contestants took a step forward and entered the Dragon Gate Tower.

    Qin Feng put on arge windbreaker. Since the current weather had that November chill in the air such an outfit was not umon, but nobody noticed that this windbreaker also had a snow-white little five-tailed fox inside it.

    It was Bai Li who had turned into her beast form.

    Not only that, besides Qin Feng, there was also something perched on Zhou Hao¡¯s shoulder. The Golden Ant Queen that exuded the aura and majesty of an ultra beast king.

    The secret realm of the Dragon Gate allowed all the means an aptitude user had, that included contract beasts.

    Qin Feng looked to his left and he could see a prodigy far away who was riding on arge white tiger.

    That was also a D-tier beastmaster.

    This meant that if Qin Feng were to expose Bai Li, he would not look out of ce!

    ¡°Begin!¡±

    Going with the call, Qin Feng began to walk straight ahead.

    He immediately felt a force putting pressure onto his body, squeezing him before he entered the Dragon Gate Tower.

    When his sight resumed, Qin Feng found himself inside the realm and this realm seemed to contain an immeasurable amount of energy.

    There was a kind of ripple that he could feel wash over him, as if peering into his very being.

    Bup.

    He could hear a strange noise as a breeze blew past his neck.

    Qin Feng flicked his hand and the Verdant Emperor Saber appeared in his grasp in an instant. With a quick sweep, he dispatched the ultra beast that came out to ambush him.

    A multi-colored tiger was immediately cut in half by his attack.

    After the tiger was yed, instead of bleeding it transformed into a stream of energy that flowed into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    There was no sign of this energy escaping from him.

    Of course, other people did not have an absorption capacity as powerful as his and were only able to absorb one-tenth of the energy from the force that made up these ultra beasts. It was still pretty amazing.

    The absorption was much faster than the process of absorbing energy from crystal cores over a period of time.

    At this moment, the prodigies of all four regions, the Southeast, the North and the Northeast that had not experienced the Dragon Gate Tower before were all excited.

    ¡°No wonder the guys in the Dragon Capital can get strong so quickly, just so long as you can challenge the Dragon Gate Tower and keep going forward. It¡¯s like that story about the carp that leapt over the Dragon¡¯s gate in order to ascend into a Dragon!¡±

    ¡°Kill the ultra beasts! Kill them all!¡±

    ¡°If this goes on, I¡¯ll get a rank up right?¡±

    The prodigies were very excited.

    If they kept hunting down and killing ultra beasts, more and more ultra beasts would be unleashed upon them. Meanwhile on the outside, the Dragon Gate Tower disyed scenes of the fighting inside the tower as well as the gates connected to the scales as the golden lights on them winded upward.

    ¡°Look! Young master Long Gan¡¯s light had reached one third and would soon reach the second floor!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s fast! They just started five minutes ago!¡±

    ¡°There are others who are pretty quick too!¡±

    They had not yet noticed that one of the lights was gradually scaling upward in an unhurried fashion, as if it was encountering zero obstacles.

    That was Qin Feng¡¯s light!

    In the secret realm, Qin Feng hunted and killed the ultra beasts as he moved forward. He eventually found a white jade staircase and continued to press on. His surroundings changed and more ultra beasts began to appear in his way, wanting to consume this human in a single bite.

    While these ultra beasts were made of energy, the damage they could do was definitely real if they managed tond a blow on their targets.

    This was not any kind of hologram projection.

    What was more, Qin Feng¡¯s strength was in the C2-tier. Which meant that the ultra beasts that he faced would be tuned to match his C2 tier and would increase in numbers as he battled on.

    Among the prodigies in the tower, they were all trying their best.

    Only Qin Feng was moving forward unhindered, Bai Li did not even need to step out.

    Soon, the stairs gave way to a t tform. When he stepped onto the tform, a transmission suddenly rang out near Qin Feng¡¯s ears and a virtual disy appeared in front of him.

    [Beep. Clear time: 13 minutes, First Level of the Dragon Gate Tower. Opening leaderboard, your current ranking is : 4!]

    Qin Feng was not in a hurry and was obviously behind the prodigies who were D6 tier.

    This was what he wanted. The Dragon Gate Tower was only just a test, what truly mattered was at the top of the tower.

    The realm only opened once per year. The Dragon Capital forbade other people from entering and only allowed prodigies to enter, which greatly increased the sess rate.

    Qin Feng did not need to reveal his true power, he just needed to make it to the top ten and that was it.

    He stepped onto the white jade stairs again and another group of ultra beasts rushed in to attack him.

 Chapter 537 - Only a Chapter 2-Tier

    <h4>Chapter 537: Only a C2-Tier</h4>

    Qin Feng fought through the iing horde of ultra beasts in an unhurried pace!

    Meanwhile outside the realm, several A-tiers were also in a building around the za, watching everything that was happening.

    There even was a screen directly broadcasting scenes in front of them. What they were seeing now was not going to be aired to the public, whatever was recorded would be edited to focus on the uniqueness of each aptitude user before being aired throughout Huaxia as publicity for the Prodigy Tournament.

    Especially at the end where the participants received their awards.

    That was how the Dragon Capital attracted the talented ones.

    Even if someone only managed to pass one floor, the rewards they would gain would still be incredibly extravagant. For example, if they were to pass the first level, they would earn 1 million power credits.

    That could be converted to about 10 billion usable currency.

    For a D-tier, this amount of money was beyond imagination. Not to mention, this was only the reward forpleting the first level.

    Basically speaking, any prodigy would be able to obtain it.

    The higher one climbed, the more resources one would be able to get.

    ¡°This time, Zhuang Sen, Ji Ran and Long Gan will definitely be able to reach the top floor. I can¡¯t say for the other prodigies. Have there been any prodigies appearing in your four regions?¡±

    A Dragon Capital A-tier aptitude user was the one who asked.

    Although the four regions were not as prosperous as the Dragon Capital, they had a high poption and any grassroot genius was going to astonish people.

    Nan Gongshi shook his head and said, ¡°We haven¡¯t found any good sprouts on our side!¡±

    The person in charge of the Eastern region, arge swarthy dark-skinned man said in a deep voice, ¡°The Eastern region¡¯s conditions have not seen much improvement. As you know, it¡¯s a difficult time and there hasn¡¯t been a prodigy there for years!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not right, prodigies should aim for the top. If they reach the top floor they would receive a huge amount of rewards and when you return, you would be able to push the Human Alliance of Huaxia into another level!¡±

    Therge man smiled bitterly. ¡°The regent¡¯s children and kin all went, you forgot to mention that they did note back.¡±

    Climbing to the top was like the carp that leapt over the Dragon¡¯s gate, but the risk factor was equally just as high.

    Among all of the prodigies that went, even if only one out of ten would survive it would still be considered as impressive!

    Nan Gongshi quickly changed the subject, turning to Shang Han instead and asking, ¡°I heard Han Mou¡¯s son is in there. Think he¡¯ll make it?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯d doubt it. He¡¯s only D1 tier!¡± What¡¯s more, after being beaten by Qin Feng, he had lost all of his arrogance. As the situation got more and more dangerous, it was likely that he would voluntarily give up and fall back.

    Shang Hang did not mind that, this time the Northern region¡¯s prodigies were not what she had expected!

    ¡°Oh yeah, what about Ge Lang¡¯s team?¡± Someone piped up and asked Ge Lang.

    The corner of Ge Lang¡¯s mouth twitched. Had it been like before he would have readily showed off, but after getting one of his own taken out by Shang Han¡¯s prodigy he lost his me.

    ¡°There¡¯s this one guy, D3-tier. Not sure if he¡¯s going to make it though.¡±

    The people around him had a glint in their eyes.

    ¡°D3 tier is already really good, there¡¯s a possibility!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, after Zhuang Sen and the others who have good background and high talent!¡±

    ¡°Without a lot of resources, reaching D3 below the age of twenty is amazing!¡±

    Everyone was going on about how impressive Ai Duo was.

    It would not have been bad if he had not faced Qin Feng earlier, Ge Lang would have been extremely proud of him time and time again. Now, he just felt embarrassed.

    When he saw Shang Han with a smug smile on her face, a teasing look that only goaded Ge Lang into getting angry.

    ¡°However, Shang Han¡¯s team not only has Han Mou¡¯s kid. This time there¡¯s another guy who¡¯s also really powerful.¡±

    Ge Lang turned everyone¡¯s attention back to Shang Han again.

    Shang Han let out a light chuckle before casually saying, ¡°They¡¯re alright, they¡¯ve just awakenedst year!¡±

    Everyone was suddenly feeling energetic.

    ¡°Awakenedst year? Based on the calctions that would only make 18 months beforeing to attend the Prodigy Tournament! That¡¯s incredible talent!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, even a D-tier this year would have needed at least 2 years of training before they could make it here!¡±

    ¡°What level is this prodigy now? Don¡¯t tell me you broke the rules to bring them here!¡±

    Shang Han just smiled and said, ¡°Their rank¡¯s not bad, they have the power of a C2-tier!¡±

    ¡°Oh, yeah that¡¯s not bad, being only C2...Huh? Hang on, what? C2-tier!¡±

    The one speaking was left with his jaw hanging open.

    ¡°Shang Han, you¡¯re joking right? You mean D2-tier?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s C2-tier!¡± Shang Han said, not wanting to say any more about this matter.

    Although Shang Han was shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s strength, he was just such a monster.

    And to think that this monster appeared in her own territory, crushing all the other prodigies in its wake. Even now, he was the Honorary Deputy Mayor of Beihua City. One of her own. That was an incredible feeling!

    As for the rest, they were all shocked. Even Ge Lang looked like he had eaten something foul, his face turning pale.

    C2 tier?

    That was like some kind of divine intervention!

    Qin Feng did not know what was going on outside, so he kept his slow pace and killed ultra beasts one by one. He could see that the others ahead of him were struggling to climb the steps.

    He had a stable position in 4th ce and Ai Duo, someone he recognized had managed to reach 10th ce.

    Although Ai Duo was defeated by him in a single blow without receiving any damage, his defeat was so inexplicable that it only strengthened his mental resilience.

    Upon seeing that Qin Feng was in 4th ce, he gritted his teeth and frantically chased after him.

    ¡°It seems that Qin Feng isn¡¯t as strong as I imagined. If not, he would have surpassed the Dragon Capital¡¯s prodigies!¡±

    ¡°In other words, he¡¯s only a D5 tier aptitude user! Hmph, I haven¡¯t used my trump cards just yet, I will beat this opponent!¡±

    ¡°Faster! I need to go faster!¡±

    While Ai Duo¡¯s ignorance made him fearless, Han Jun on the other hand felt immensely frustrated when he saw that Qin Feng was only in 4th ce.

    ¡°Bastard, you¡¯re clearly a C-tier why the heck are you hiding it and staying in the 4th ce?¡±

    ¡°Why aren¡¯t you crushing thepetition? Show off your power!¡±

    ¡°This time I came here only for the experience so I don¡¯t need to work so hard. Otherwise, I would have been overshadowed by Qin Feng!¡±

    Thinking of this, Han Jun naturally reserved his strength. His speed gradually began to decrease, not wanting to use up all of his energy.

    Of course, Han Jun was only one of the few people who were like that. There were many others still trying as hard as they could, even if they knew that they would not reach the top level.

    These prodigies could only keep going up in an effort to prove themselves.

    First level, second level!

    Third level, fourth level...

    In the blink of an eye the top people had reached the seventh level while the rest were on the fifth and sixth level.

    Qin Feng was naturally on the seventh level as well. There were arge number of ultra beasts here and their ranks had reached the terrifying point where all the ones that were spawning were beast kings.

    For Qin Feng, this was not enough.

    ¡°Looks like the first and second levels were probably simrly leveled ultra beasts. Their ranks will increase once every two levels, beast soldiers, beast generals and beast kings! Those facing them would be normal aptitude users, elites, generals and kings!¡±

    Therefore, the one who could truly reach the top would be the Emperor!

 Chapter 538 - Who Is in First Place?

    <h4>Chapter 538: Who Is in First ce?</h4>

    ¡°Then let me see just how many people can make it through!¡± The corner of Qin Feng¡¯s mouth twitched into a smile, his heart began to beat with excitement.

    It was because he could not underestimate the potential futures of prodigies that were his age. These were some absolutely top-grade people.

    He did not slow down and continued to fight. The seventh floor was cleared very quickly!

    Onward, to the eighth level!

    The third ce Ji Ran looked at the scoreboards and noticed that she had dropped to fourth ce, her heart palpitated with shock.

    ¡°Who is this Qin Feng guy? He was behind me the entire time, and now he went past me!¡±

    She had originally nned to rest up on the seventh floor before continuing, but after seeing that Qin Feng had surpassed her and that she had regained about one third of her internal force, she gritted her teeth and stood up.

    She had to keep going.

    ¡°He definitely isn¡¯t someone from the Capital, that means he¡¯s from one of the four regions. I¡¯m a Dragon Capital native, born and raised, if I lose to someone like that it¡¯ll be the joke of the century! Hmph!¡±

    Being one of the prodigies of the Dragon Capital, she naturally had an air of arrogance.

    Even if she gave it her all, she still could not keep up with Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng had reached the ninth level in the blink of an eye!

    The ninth level was the boundary. Only those truly powerful enough would be able to reach this point.

    Everyone in the building that was watching the video all paid close attention to Qin Feng. They had noticed that he was different from the rest.

    The ultra beasts that appear in the Dragon Gate Tower were scaled to match the tiers of their opponents. Qin Feng was indeed C2 tier, but even that would not have been enough of an advantageter down the line.

    Ever since the beginning, Qin Feng had been having it easy. He hardly used much martial arts when trying to take down anything.

    Especially now, even on the eighth floor, Qin Feng did not slow down. As he maintained his pace, the others were still struggling to keep up.

    That was the main reason he ended up surpassing Ji Ran.

    ¡°This is way too easy for him!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I first thought him being C2 tier at such a young age was just a tall tale but, I didn¡¯t expect him to be this strong!¡±

    ¡°If someone like that makes it through the Dragon Gate Tower...¡±

    ¡°Whew...¡±

    Everyone could not help but take in a breath, but at the same time they felt fired up.

    When something like this happened, who would not be as excited?

    Back in the Tower, Qin Feng easily passed through the ninth floor.

    Meanwhile, in another simr space, Zhuang Sen directed an exhausted white tiger to halt, stopping and panting.

    He had absorbedrge amounts of energy into his body and had achieved a breakthrough.

    ¡°We need to speed up, then we¡¯ll be able to catch up to Long Gan!¡±

    Zhuang Sen lifted his head to look at the rankings, wondering what Long Gan was up to and whether he would make it to the tenth level.

    If there were no movements that could only mean that Long Gan was resting.

    When he checked the board, he was immediately surprised by what he saw.

    ¡°What? How did I drop down to third ce? Qin Feng? Where did this guye from?¡±

    He was annoyed, he had always been rivals with Long Gang and now, someone from who knows where had arrived to challenge him.

    This was uneptable.

    With that in mind, Zhuang Sen stepped into the tenth level.

    At this point there were only three people who had reached the tenth floor.

    It was Qin Feng, Long Gan and Zhuang Sen!

    Preparation for the Prodigy Tournament took an excruciatingly long amount of time but the real deal only provided seventy two hours of experience, three whole days.

    For a D-tier aptitude user, three days and three nights of sleeplessness was nothing.

    This kind of constant battling was necessary training for potential major wars.

    The prodigies had managed to reach the top within only 23 hours.

    Many spectators were surprised by this oue when they returned after a day.

    ¡°Long Gan and Zhuang Sen have reached the top floor!¡±

    ¡°Dark horse, there¡¯s a dark horse. A Qin Feng from the Northern region. That guy is definitely a top grade prodigy!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s currently ranked at number 2, does he want to stabilize in first ce?¡±

    ¡°G-gone....He¡¯s gone past!¡±

    Countless people watched as the dragon scale that represented Qin Feng lit up on the outside of the Tower. It had surpassed Long Gan!

    Everyone was stunned by this moment.

    This waspletely unexpected.

    Back within the Tower, on the tenth level, Long Gan was still moving at a calm and steady pace with no intention of looking at the leaderboard.

    He was the strongest among his peers in the Dragon Capital. He was powerful and considered to be a miracle. Zhuang Sen regarded him as a rival but Long Gan never thought of Zhuang Sen as such.

    His eyes were set on goals much further away.

    That was why he used less than twenty four hours to reach the top of the Dragon Gate Tower, breaking the records and stepping onto the top floor.

    There was a bright portal at the end of the white jade stairs. It was a spatial passage.

    Long Gan quickened his steps with excitement. The ce that he did not reachst year was finally in front of him.

    It was very spacious and judging from the range it was about the same size as the interior of the Dragon Gate Tower. His ears could even pick up the sounds of exmation a hundred meters away.

    This meant that he had returned back to Earth.

    His surroundings werepletely white and there was a spatial passage in the center of the area.

    Not only that, there were already two people here.

    One of them was an A-tier aptitude user who was the guardian of the Dragon Gate Tower, Long Gan recognized him. The other one was actually a young man.

    Long Gan suddenly felt his throat be dry.

    ¡°Master Long! Congrattions on being the second one toplete the Dragon Gate Tower!¡± The guardian said, but when he announced his congrattions he said so in a strange tone of voice.

    Long Gan fought as hard as he could in order to achieve first ce, he did not expect that he would get overthrown by a dark horse.

    This young person was Qin Feng!

    When he saw Long Gan, his eyes lit up with recognition.

    Long Gan, the strongest prodigy and a direct descendant of the Long family of the Dragon Capital. ording to his lineage, the mayor of the Dragon Capital, Long Ting, was his grandmother.

    By now, the Long family would have reached its sixth generation.

    Besides that, the Long family had many talented people in it. Long Gan was going to be the most powerful.

    Before his rebirth, Long Gan had already been reported to have reached S-tier. That meant that none years from now Long Gan would be an S-tier aptitude user!

    Such a high ranking and powerful person was actually participating in the Prodigy Tournament. Qin Feng found that thought to be quite insightful.

    Meanwhile, Long Gan was thinking more than Qin Feng.

    ¡°I¡¯m...I¡¯m second?¡± He looked around but found nobody other than Qin Feng.

    He was a little confused.

    ¡°Who is in the first ce?¡±

    The tower guardian¡¯s eyes shed with sympathy as he pointed to Qin Feng. ¡°He is in the first ce! Qin Feng from the North Sea state of the Northern Region!¡±

    Long Gan¡¯s eyes immediately locked onto Qin Feng.

 Chapter 539 - Hapless Prodigy

    <h4>Chapter 539: Hapless Prodigy</h4>

    It was truly a surprise.

    Not longter, another door beamed with shes.

    A person came right out of it. He was riding a tiger, which emanated the aura of a D-tier beast king. The man was none other than the prodigal summoner, Zhuang Sen.

    Qin Feng remembered him too.

    ¡®Zhuang Sen, the man who poprized the summoner ss in the future. It all started with his Sacred Tiger breaking through the Emperor ss and evolving into Deity ss. Though he would only reach the A-tier, his power is equivalent to that of an S-tier because of his formidable contracted beast.¡¯

    As Qin Feng recalled Zhuang Sen¡¯s achievement, he subconsciously rubbed Bai Li¡¯s fur, who was lying on his folded arm.

    Once he had attained A-tier, he would have Bai Li evolve into Deity ss too.

    Zhuang Sen nudged his beast once he entered the tower and the Sacred Tiger leaped graciously through the air. Theynded right in front of the three persons that were already there.

    Zhuang Sen acknowledged the other two with a slight nod and fixed his gaze on Qin Feng.

    ¡°So, you are Qin Feng?¡±

    Long Gan had not checked the rankings at all during the race. But Zhuang Sen had been peeking at it throughout after he was overtaken by Qin Feng. He wanted to reim his position.

    Surprisingly, Qin Feng even overtook Long Gan at thest minute and passed the test first.

    In other words, Qin Feng was the indisputable best prodigy this term.

    ¡°I am. It¡¯s nice to meet you,¡± Qin Feng replied politely.

    He was a man in his second life. If he had not reimed his lost talent in this reiterated life, there was no way he would ever get the chance to interact with these top prodigies.

    Perhaps due to the hardship he had experienced in his past life, Qin Feng was a man with confidence now. He would not bow down to or tter the others just because they were going to be respectable elects in the future.

    He believed he would be at that level someday too. Probably, he would even reach it earlier than these so-called prodigies in this reborn life.

    ¡°Er... Nice, nice to meet you. My name is Zhuang Sen.¡± Zhuang Sen initially talked to Qin Feng from a rivalry standpoint. But to his surprise, Qin Feng had greeted him back politely. Such a friendly gesture had the summoner stuttering.

    Though he still felt an imbnce emotionally, Long Gan was back to himself on the outside. He appeared calm and greeted, ¡°Hi, I am Long Gan.¡±

    ¡°Hi!¡±

    They shook hands and Long Gan finally asked the question that had been bothering him, ¡°Your surge is definitely a surprise to all of us. What tier are you at now? Why don¡¯t you carry a badge with you?¡±

    Zhuang Sen was eager to know the answer too.

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°I am just trying to be low-key and avoid attention.¡±

    Zhuang Sen and Long Gan were speechless. Not that he would attract more attention than them, who were probably the highest tier at D6 in thispetition.

    ¡°That¡¯s not right. Prodigies like us are destined to be the center of attention. There¡¯s no need to avoid that!¡± Zhuang Sen said.

    Long Gan nodded in agreement. ¡°The attention usuallyes from the envious ones. There¡¯s no need to be bothered by them. You should always disy your true capability. Not only is it a way to fend off unnecessary battles, but it¡¯s also a sign of respect to your rivals!¡±

    Long Gan would not let it go easily until Qin Feng had revealed his rank. He could not ept losing to aplete stranger that came out of nowhere.

    Both Long Gan and Zhuang Sen were guessing that Qin Feng must have used some special trick to win the race. For instance, he might own a God Weapon or overpowering runic equipment.

    However, it was not like Long Gan and Zhuang Sen werecking such items. They had carried a fair share of great items with them in this tournament.

    Qin Feng felt that he no longer needed to hide. After all, not many would make it to the top of the tower.

    ¡°You are right.¡± Qin Feng took out his badge and pinned it onto his chest.

    Zhuang Sen and Long Gan were baffled when they figured out the truth. The tower guardian was the only one unsurprised as he had known it beforehand.

    C-tier!

    It was a C-tier aptitude user badge.

    Qin Feng spoke again, ¡°Let me introduce myself again. My name is Qin Feng. I am a C2 aptitude user and currently the governor of North Sea state. At the same time, I am also the president of the Fengli Organization. Feel free to inquire if you are interested in buying guns or hover aircrafts. It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you both so I am feeling generous in giving out a 20% discount on any item.¡±

    The two of them were still searching for words to respond.

    Qin Feng had yet to certify his tier but he was already a C2. After the D-tier, it became extremely difficult to even raise a sub-tier. They were considered fast after attaining D6 at this age, but Qin Feng was even more unbelievable!

    Furthermore, he was also a governor and a president at the same time!

    As a prodigy, they had been working their butts off 24/7 to rise through the ranks. How on earth did Qin Feng manage to squeeze out time to work on not one, but two important positions?!

    How did he achieve so much at such a young age?

    As they were lost for words after listening to Qin Feng¡¯s surreal resume, the spatial tunnel blinked once again.

    Apparently, another prodigy had passed the test.

    It was Ji Ran. She was only 19 years old and wasrgely considered the most talented female prodigy in her age group. None of the princesses in the entire Dragon Capital could match with her. She might not be better than Long Gan and Zhuang Sen but she was not that far off either.

    Ji Ran was excited to see the four men.

    She was infuriated when Qin Feng first passed her. When Qin Feng overtook Zhuang Sen, she had almost given up. But as soon as Qin Feng beat Long Gan as well, Ji Ran could not wait to see the disappointed faces of her two fiercestpetitors.

    Thus, she was pacing toward them with a lightened mood. However, when she was close enough to make clear of the alphabet on Qin Feng¡¯s badge, hopelessness once again suffocated her.

    After a long while, Ji Ran was finally able to squeeze words out of her mouth. ¡°You, you are a C-tier?¡±

    ¡°C2, to be exact. He is pending certification.¡± Zhuang Sen corrected her.

    Ji Ran could not help but curse loudly. ¡°How did you even train? How old are you? Where the hell did youe from?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s outrageous strength greatly intrigued Ji Ran.

    Qin Feng looked back at her and recalled her future.

    Ji Ran was no doubt a capable aptitude user. If he remembered correctly, Ji Ran would be an A-tier in about six years. Qin Feng had even joined forces with her several times in the past.

    She had three ex-husbands but none of them had lived long.

    The Ji family was different from the Longs. They were just a small family in Dragon Capital. To boost their family reputation, Ji Ran was used as leverage and forced into political marriage again and again. The strong ones were usually those facing the most dangers in this unforgiving world. After she lost three husbands, Ji Ran¡¯s personality had twisted drastically, and was no longer the straightforward teenager Qin Feng was seeing now.

    ¡°I am your age. As for my training, let¡¯s just call it a personal secret of mine.¡± Qin Feng did not tell them he was actually only seventeen years old. In fact, his actual age was much, much older than the rest of them.

    ¡°Damn! Stop being so stingy!¡± Ji Ran was obviously dissatisfied.

    The tower guardian finally faked coughs to announce his presence. ¡°Candidates, I suggest you take a good rest after the long battle. There would be a surprise for the four of you six hours from now.¡±

    Theyplied with the tower guardian¡¯s suggestion and immediately went into meditation to restore their internal strength.

 Chapter 540 - Ruin in an Unknown Dimension

    <h4>Chapter 540: Ruin in an Unknown Dimension</h4>

    It was not at all easy to conquer the ten levels, even for these prodigies. Two hourster, another prodigy from Dragon Capital called Pang Ruo emerged through the tunnel. He was only at D4-tier and obviously not on the same level as Long Gan. Nheless, he was no less one of the outstanding prodigies around here and left nothing behind to reach the top.

    One could only work harder whening up short in talent.

    Another person emerged after another three hours. It was the aptitude user from the Western Region¡ªAi Duo!

    Ai Duo rushed toward them and was equally baffled when he saw the badge on Qin Feng¡¯s chest.

    The tower guardian peeked at Ai Duo and said, ¡°There¡¯s only one hour left. Get rested quickly.¡±

    Ai Duo did not understand the meaning behind it. He was only an average talent and Ge Lang would not have told him much.

    Despite having doubts, Ai Duoplied too and quickly entered meditation to restore his stamina.

    Another hour passed and no one else stepped onto the tenth level after Ai Duo.

    Though Zhou Hao and Jin Fei were pretty good, they did not cut it in the end. They still had a lot to improve on and would perhaps fare better next year.

    Other notable candidates from the Northern region that had been ced with high expectations such as Han Jun, Du Wa, and Li Wangshen were also still stuck at level 8. It would not be possible to ovee thest two levels in such a short time.

    ¡°So there are six candidates this year. Not too bad!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s even a C2-tier among you. This year is going to be interesting.¡±

    ¡°I agree. Let¡¯s see their performances in the next stage.¡±

    The top brasses were paying close attention to thepetition.

    When the time was up, the tower guardian opened his eyes and said, ¡°This is called the Tower of Dragon Gate because it symbolizes your first test before you get to leap through the gate and evolve.¡±

    ¡°Every year this time, a special dimension would be opened here. The qualified prodigies, like you all, are allowed to enter and explore it.¡±

    ¡°But once you face insurmountable danger, please immediately return through the waymark. All of you are the future pirs of the Human Alliance. Your life is too precious to be thrown away this young. Always remember this, there is nothingpared to your future and your value to the people who need your protection.¡±

    The tower guardian lectured them solemnly. Six of them listened attentively and nodded gravely in response. They were then given not one but three beacons as an extra precaution.

    After that, the tower guardian was seen pressing a button. Abruptly, they realized that the space above them had opened up like a blossoming flower.

    A strong gale thrusted violently through the opening. Normal people would have been blown away by the wind. Even the air in the surroundings had be thinner. The clouds had seemingly gotten a lot closer to the ground as well.

    Qin Feng felt a sudden gush of energy plummeting down from the sky. He looked up and saw silver radiance gushing downward gradually like a waterfall captured in slow motion.

    Powerful energy was constantly being emanated from the spatial rift. The energy was so great that it immediately flooded the entire tower.

    Qin Feng could visualize the energy as if it were being poured into the Dragon Capital. He finally understood why the Dragon Capital architecture looked like the shape of a giant bowl. It was designed in such a way so that the outpouring energy from the rift could all be retained within the city.

    Qin Feng wasted no time and activated his ability.

    Absorb!

    Instantly, the still swirling energy was being forcefully pulled toward Qin Feng and assimted by him.

    Qin Feng¡¯s physique became even stronger.

    His skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs were absorbing the natural essence greedily.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng directly broke through into the next stage under such a tremendous source of energy.

    C3-tier! He could hardly hide his bursting aura.

    Apparently, Qin Feng was not the only one that had been promoted.

    Long Gan, Zhuang Sen, and others might not have been absorbing as much energy as Qin Feng but their strength had improved substantially too.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Three of them had sessfully made the leap and attained D7-tier. It was marvelous how they managed to reach the D-tier threshold to C-tier at such a young age.

    Prodigies were always given the best opportunity to seed.

    Nheless, they did not get to enjoy the moment for long. In the blink of an eye, a spatial tunnel in the shape of an oval ne formed on top of their heads.

    ¡°Get in now!¡± The tower guardian shouted.

    Ai Duo and Pang Ruo had benefited greatly from the energy flux too. They had reached D5 and D4 tiers respectively. All six of them could not wait to gain another tier. They jumped straight toward the tunnel without any hesitation.

    As soon as Qin Feng entered the dimension, he could sense the horrifying turbulence around them in this unknown dimension. The others must have sensed it too as their faces contorted into grimaces after passing through.

    They were unable to talk in here but there was no hindrance tomunicating using their conscious power.

    ¡°Let¡¯s hold onto each other. We need to work together!¡± Long Gan shouted in his mind and grabbed Ji Ran, who in turn took Zhuang Sen. Others were too far from them, as Ai Duo and Pang Ruo clung together and formed another group.

    Qin Feng was the lone corner that formed a triangle with the other two groups. He floated freely inside the whirlpool of energy and observed the others quietly. He realized that he was the only one that was not being dragged around involuntarily by the turbulent whirlpool inside this strange dimension.

    Rather than joining forces with others, Qin Feng preferred to stay alone. As such, he pretended that he was trapped too and approached neither group.

    A few secondster, they fell into total darkness and the surroundings had drastically changed when they opened their eyes again.

    A great gravitational force fell on Qin Feng. This ce was obviously not earth. A non-aptitude user would have been crushed in such a ce.

    Qin Feng moved his hands and feet around and quickly adapted to the heavier downforce.

    He looked around and saw a ruin not very far away.

    A gust of wind passed through and a faint blinking light underneath the sands caught Qin Feng¡¯s attention.

    Qin Feng walked toward it and the outline of the item quickly appeared in his consciousness realm.

    ¡®It¡¯s a rune equipment!¡¯

    Qin Feng was enthused. The equipment waspletely different from those made by a human¡¯s hand. It was far more exquisite. Under the equipmentid an eerie skeleton.

    This was when a force emerged out of nowhere and was wrapped around the runic equipment. It then took the appearance of a wraith that was roughly three meters tall.

    Schwaff!

    The wraith suddenly lunged at Qin Feng without any warning. Swords formed through supernatural power might be as deadly as a real sword.

    Qin Feng frowned and raised his hand.

    Boom!

    His internal strength was released and hit right on the wraith¡¯s sword.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng had only used one percent of his full strength but that was already equivalent to the force of a normal C1-tier attack. However, that only managed to shatter the wraith¡¯s sword.

    The flimsy-looking wraith was actually as strong as a D5-tier beast general.

 Chapter 541 - Pureblood Human

    <h4>Chapter 541: Pureblood Human</h4>

    However, such a being would not be enough to threaten Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng triggered his internal force and put the wraith in its ce. The skeleton wrapped by it could not stand the impact and scattered immediately as well.

    The runic equipment was the only thing that remained and abruptly dropped to the ground.

    ¡®Can¡¯t believe this has D-tier silver equipment¡¯s defense despite its level. This is good stuff.¡¯

    The runic equipment was not wrapped in silver light probably because it was made differently. But its material was of top quality for sure.

    Qin Feng put the item into his spatial equipment and marched on.

    This was when he heard a humming sound. His ear traced the source and his consciousness instinctively focused to the side.

    However, his conscious probe was unable to extend beyond a hundred meters.

    ¡®This dimension not only has high gravitational pull but conscious power is also being highly restricted here!¡¯

    Qin Feng decided to approach the sound. When he was only about a hundred meters away from the source, Qin Feng held his breath subconsciously due to the peculiar scene unfolding in front of him.

    In front of him, it was still the same ruin. There were copsed buildings everywhere. The roads were mostly destroyed and covered by sand and dust. But in front of him, there was a corner of a sophisticated machine that clearly stood out from the surroundings.

    Around the machine, there were a few odd-looking human-like creatures.

    Qin Feng could hardly rte them to humans.

    On one side, there were five in a group. These creatures had deep blue hair and were half-naked. Their lower body was wrapped with a type of silk fabric. It gave a false sense of transparency but Qin Feng was unable to see through it.

    Opposite them was another group of buff creatures. They stood on two legs but their gums were lined with sharp fangs. There was even a tail with a different color on each of their backs.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    One of the tailed creatures was shouting. It was probably just a meaningless taunt. The creatures on the other side were not daunted and nced back coldly.

    From the disyed emotion, Qin Feng immediately understood something.

    ¡®They are an intelligent species!¡¯

    Soon, the conscious power between the two groups began to collide.

    ¡°The Sea Tribe still hasn¡¯t given up on thisnd? Dream on if you wish to obtain the power of Sacred Armor using that frail body of yours. Your lot will probably be all dried up then. Hahaha!¡± The tailed creatures were obviously mocking the species with blue hair.

    ¡®Sea Tribe? Are they an intelligent species from the sea?¡¯ Qin Feng thought to himself.

    Numerous species from all kinds of dimensions had visited Earth when spatial rifts began to appear on the. Qin Feng had seen a lot in his past life. Though the two types of creatures in front of him were indeed different, it was not the weirdest he had evere across.

    ¡°Pfft, Dragon Tribe... What are you going to do with the armor? Open a hole in it so it could hold your disgusting tail?¡± One of the proud sea creatures replied sarcastically. The eyes of the Dragon Tribe creatures instantly boiled with anger.

    ¡°Let¡¯s eat them alive!¡± Arge-sized member of the Dragon Tribe dashed out first.

    At the same time, one of the sea creatures flicked his finger and sent out a snowy pearl. It was not aimed at the closing in dragon-borne but on the machine.

    The next moment, they could all sense that something had been woken up, including Qin Feng.

    Several balls of energy umted rapidly and transformed into a few tens of wraiths. The wraiths then flocked the living figures around them.

    ¡°Run!¡± Those from the Sea Tribe shouted and summoned a wave under their feet. Carried by the waves, they got away by a few tens of meters instantly.

    The dragon creatures were caught by surprise and trapped by the wraiths.

    ¡°Filthy fishes!¡± One of the dragon creatures chastised angrily.

    ¡°Stop ranting and kill the Shades!¡±

    The dragon creatures spoke in their ownnguage after the sea creatures were gone. Qin Feng could not understand what they were saying after that.

    But he hadprehended enough judging by their conversation earlier.

    These creatures from the Dragon and Sea Tribes must havee to this dimension with the same purpose. They were looking for something known as the Sacred Armor.

    The wraith formed from an energy cluster was called Shades. It seemed that they would emerge whenever a valuable item was touched in this dimension.

    ¡®Does this mean that the machine could be retrieved once these dragon-borne clear off the wraiths?¡¯

    Qin Feng thought about it and decided to look around for more treasure in this wastndter.

    Just as he turned around to leave, he heard an angry roaring from his back.

    Qin Feng did not need to turn back to know that he must have been discovered by the dragon-borne.

    The dragons stopped roaring and one of them sent him a message through telekinesis.

    ¡°Who are you? Show yourself now or I will crush you with my jaws!¡±

    Qin Feng stopped moving and decided to see what they had to say.

    He showed himself and that caught the dragons by surprise.

    ¡°Pureblood human?¡±

    ¡°Human means human. What do you mean by pureblood?¡± Qin Feng asked with a frown.

    ¡°Hahaha! I bet you areing from a dimension where it has not been plundered yet. Now, why don¡¯t you tell me your dimension locale and I will give you a reward in return?¡± The creature was enthused.

    Qin Feng could tell that the Dragon Tribe had ill intent toward the human race. From their tone and how they had treated the Sea Tribe, Qin Feng was also sure that the Dragon Tribe was probably ravagers.

    They were probably the same kind as those intelligent creatures that had invaded Earth before. As such, Qin Feng gave them a cold shoulder.

    One of the Dragon Tribe creatures made a low voice as if it was saying something while fighting the Shades. The creature that wasmunicating with Qin Feng, on the other hand, had opened up his maw.

    ¡°Sorry. My mate is not a patient man like me. I have no choice but to capture you first and ask the questionter.¡± It lunged at Qin Feng before he finished talking.

    Its limbs were well built and his punches came as fast as the wind.

    The dragon-borne was tall and had considerable weight. It was not easy to move and punch so agilely at this dimension that had greater gravitational force than Earth. Qin Feng estimated that the creature was at least a C1-tier. He reacted promptly and countered the attack with his punch.

    A fist for a fist.

    Boom!

    The energy dissipated as the two punches met and both fists came together. A crisp cracking sound was soon heard.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡± The creature shrieked in pain. It could not believe its fist had beenpletely mutted after the collision.

    Qin Feng confirmed his hunch after the encounter. His opponent was roughly a king-tier C1. He was far superior as a C3-tier emperor.

    He did not stop there and followed up the attack with both of his hands grabbing on the creature¡¯s wrists. Qin Feng then crossed both hands and yielded another cracking sound.

    The opponent¡¯s shoulders were dislocated by Qin Feng easily in two swift motions.

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

    Qin Feng¡¯s handsshed out furiously fast and shattered the dragon-borne¡¯s hands and shoulder des in the blink of an eye.

    He then returned a message through his consciousness.

    ¡°Now tell me, why are you calling me a pureblood human?¡±

 Chapter 542 - Guardian

    <h4>Chapter 542: Guardian</h4>

    ¡°Argh! Come over here and kill the human now!¡± The creature bellowed.

    Despite Qin Feng¡¯s clear dominance, this creature from the Dragon Tribe had refused toply and stared at Qin Feng unbendingly.

    Itsrades clearly heard its cry and looked over in Qin Feng¡¯s direction. The oue of the encounter was not how they would have expected.

    ¡°Retreat first!¡± One of them shouted and fled decisively.

    The others ran with him and covered more than one hundred meters within seconds. The Shade did not move as quickly and returned to the machine after losing track of the Dragon Tribe.

    This was when the Dragon Tribe creatures turned back and surrounded Qin Feng.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    They did not say anything and assaulted Qin Feng simultaneously. They did not seem to care about the one held hostage by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng sneered and let go of the defeated creature. He prepared his stance to brace for the iing attacks.

    Five creatures came in all directions topletely shut down Qin Feng.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion! Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng triggered his internal force and generated a great pulling field around him. The five assaulters were being involuntarily dragged toward Qin Feng. They were being pulled off course by the abrupt force and their five-man formation was no longer intact.

    Qin Feng pumped his internal force and leashed out a force equivalent to that of a B-tier aptitude user.

    He slid forward and approached one of the creatures. Then he hit the target with his elbow.

    Dong!

    Qin Feng¡¯s elbow hit right at the creature¡¯s chest.

    Crack!

    Following the bone-shattering sound, the creature spewed blood and flew out.

    Qin Feng maneuvered his force field and pulled in another dragon creature near him.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s heavy punchnded right on its face. The creature was sent back flying with most of its sharp fangs detached from its mouth.

    The same happened to the rest of them. Qin Feng wasted little time and energy to put down all five assaulters.

    They were just a bunch of toothless dragons!

    The creatures could hardly ept the fact that they were being beaten so easily by a single human.

    Roar!

    Almost instantaneously, they transformed into a giant lizard and roared exasperatedly.

    This was obviously their true form.

    Qin Feng was shocked to witness the transfiguration.

    ¡®So these are actually C-tier beast kings? Is this not an intelligent species but rather a mutated creature that has taken the human form?!¡¯

    At the same time, Qin Feng did not waste time and summoned his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Sword re!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s de instantly caught fire. Any form of defense was futile in the face of this God Weapon.

    Nheless, Qin Feng was facing five ferocious dragons at the moment. Their true form was at least three levels tall. The surrounding ruins were further destroyed as their bodies became incredibly huge.

    The human form had seemingly suppressed their true power. They now looked and feltpletely different than before.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression turned serious. Those five were all beast kings. Even Qin Feng would need to deal with this carefully.

    ¡°Fire Wall!¡±

    All of a sudden, a re burst out around Qin Feng.

    The five beast kings were burned by the fire but that only made them more aggressive. They wished to tear Qin Feng into pieces.

    However, Qin Feng had cunningly hidden within the Fire Wall. The bright burning me made it difficult for the creatures to locate Qin Feng.

    ¡°Roar!!!¡± The five beast kings growled helplessly.

    ¡°Seal!¡±

    Qin Feng used his consciousness to activate the fire trap. Numerous fire dragons emerged from the wall and drowned the weird-looking dragon creatures in a sea of fire.

    The struggling and groaning of the dragons could be heard afar. But gradually, the noise died down into an eerie silence.

    ¡°Disperse!¡±

    Qin Feng held out his hand and the me danced back into his palm and disappeared. There were only five charred corpses left at the ce where the wall was initially set.

    The five dragon creatures could not be more dead.

    Under the control of his mind, one after another fist-size power core burst out from the dragon¡¯s chest and flew to his hand.

    This unique creature might not have as many precious materials as other dragon or wyvern species but their power core was prettypact.

    After that, Qin Feng paced slowly toward the only dragon-borne alive¡ªThe one who got beaten the hell out by him earlier.

    The dragon-borne was terrified when it saw Qin Feng approach him.

    In its entire life, the human race had always been viewed as a pathetically weak species. The dragon-borne had never thought that one day he would be afraid of a human.

    Qin Feng used telekinesis to deliver his question once again. ¡°Now, I think you will be more than willing to answer my question?¡±

    ¡°Yes! Yes! What¡¯s the question again?¡± The dragon-borne apparently did not pay attention to Qin Feng¡¯s question earlier.

    Qin Feng had to repeat his question but this time he did it in an even colder tone.

    The dragon-borne answered quickly, ¡°Human is a very mysterious species among the dimensions. Their genes allow them to deliver offspring with most of the intelligent species. Some species may be very powerful but can¡¯t reproduce properly. So, they would extract the human genome or their talent to merge with their own. For instance, we, the Dragon Tribe, are created in such a manner. But the mixed-blood usually has the same fertility problem as their forefather. So pure-blood humans are our most precious samples.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face was stone cold. He had never heard of such nonsense in his past life.

    But he was just amoner back then. His biggest achievement was surviving the wild and attaining A-tier with his own effort. It was never his privilege to enjoy the type of resources and opportunities that he had in this life as a prodigy.

    He might not be as powerful as he was in his past life at the moment but this new privilege had allowed him to learn more about different dimensions at a much younger age.

    ¡°You are saying that dimension inhabited by a human is usually the target by most other tribes or species? What usually happens to this dimension then? Are they all your ves in the end? Or are they just a source of DNA material that you can kill at will?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s voice became sterner and sterner.

    Qin Feng had just been reborn for one year. He now remembered that as time passed on in his previous life, more and more intelligent species arrived on Earth and enved the humans. They usually kept the female and killed most of the male.

    This realization enraged Qin Feng.

    ¡°How is that possible? The human species, as I said, is rather mysterious. Some are very weak but there are also those being protected by guardians. We usually won¡¯t be able to touch thetter.¡±

    Other species usually had equivalent power between individuals when they grew up. For instance, all Grans were C-tier at adulthood. They could only get stronger by evolving into general, king, or emperor.

    But humans were different. They could grow indefinitely into A or even S-tier.

    Then again, before a human had been awakened, they were extremely fragile. Even the lowest tier mutated creature could kill a normal human with ease.

    This was in fact peculiar in the eyes of other species.

    ¡°Guardian?¡± Qin Feng mumbled. He suddenly thought of Long Ting and other S-tier aptitude users in the Human Alliance.

 Chapter 543 - The Perished Land of Soul Tribe

    <h4>Chapter 543: The Perished Land of Soul Tribe</h4>

    However, Qin Feng now knew that S-tier was far from enough.

    Another memory jolted back into Qin Feng¡¯s mind. He estimated that three years from now, another human tribe from a different dimension would arrive on Earth and offer protection.

    Qin Feng was only a B-tier at that time and was not a member of the Human Alliance¡¯s management. He heard that the Human Alliance had gone through a long discussion for this and finally epted the offer. But after signing the treaty, a lot ofmoners had mysteriously gone missing following that.

    The Dark Coalition took the me in the end.

    Thinking back now, Qin Feng suspected that perhaps the elects from Human Alliance were the ones that had sold themoners in exchange for protection?

    Pureblood humans seemed to be very valuable to other species. They were useful ves and experimental subjects.

    Qin Feng¡¯s mood could not be any gloomier.

    He continued to question, ¡°How do you guys discover and travel to an unknown dimension? Besides, I believe your dimension is prone to invasion too. How do you prevent others from targeting your world?¡±

    The dragon-borne was a prodigy in his own world, one that was much more advanced than Earth. Qin Feng¡¯s question was just textbook knowledge to the creature.

    ¡°Each dimension exists solitarily from others unless the world is undergoing drastic transformation. This will sync the world with other dimensions that share a simr spatial frequency, which creates a window of instability in that world. This is when spatial travelers could find and probe it.¡±

    Qin Feng immediately linked this to the Grans¡¯ invasion. They must havee to his world this way.

    The dragon-borne did not stop there. ¡°You mentioned invasion, but this is usually done very, very carefully. Any world undergoing transformation would not be short of horrible creatures. If your dimension has such a powerful human like yourself at its early stage of transformation, then there¡¯s nothing to be worried about.¡± The creature ttered Qin Feng in the end, hoping that he would spare his life for being cooperative.

    Qin Feng smirked and posed some other questions, including what a Shade was and where it came from. The dragon-borne could not answer most of the questions when it came to this dimension.

    In the end, the dragon-borne could not escape his ultimate fate.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng twisted the creature¡¯s neck and ended its life.

    There was no way Qin Feng would let it walk. The dragon-borne knew that he was a pureblood and the Dragon Tribe seemed pretty strong. It would be disastrous if he brought this message back to his world, then Earth would be in jeopardy.

    ¡®Long Gan and others are pureblood too. It would be cmitous if they were to be seen.¡¯

    ¡®Then again, they have ample of beacons with them so it would not be a problem to get away safely. Besides, they are born in Dragon Capital so they must have known a lot more than I do. As for Ai Duo, he is with another Dragon Capital prodigy so they should be fine too.¡¯

    Qin Feng believed they would be fine and had another far more pressing concern filling his mind.

    After the Grans army was exterminated by him, he had been paying close attention as he was worried that his action might invite more Grans onto Earth, even though Bai Li had erased the spatial tunnel connecting the two worlds.

    The dragon-borne might have indirectly provided an answer. The reason that the Grans might not being again anytime soon could be because they had given up infiltrating such a high-risk dimension after the humiliating defeat.

    But since Earth was currently undergoing spatial transformation, could it mean that more threatening species would emerge on Earth in the future?

    This was unquestionable. Qin Feng had heard about a lot of stories in his past lives. He now knew most of those folklores were probably real.

    ¡°Immortal. Our dimension iscking an immortal!¡± Qin Feng murmured. ¡®Could I be one then?¡¯

    Qin Feng did not want to be a superhero. But he did not want to see his friends and people from his city being used as experimental subjects either.

    Just like how he loathed the existence of Z Organization.

    Qin Feng took a deep breath and calmed himself down. ¡®No matter what, this doesn¡¯t sway from what I have been working to achieve all this while. I will just continue on this path that I have paved.¡¯

    He ceased his wild yet meaningless thought andnded his sight on the machine fought over by the Sea and Dragon Tribe earlier. Qin Feng flicked his finger to send out a tiny wave of internal force that hit on it.

    Energy burst out from the machine and materialized into Shades.

    There were at least a few dozens of them before but only eight remained now thanks to the dragon-borne creatures. Qin Feng used his fire ability to diminish them all at once.

    ording to the dragon-borne, these Shades were remnants of a once-powerful tribe.

    There was a highly-advanced civilization in this dimension in the distant past. The tribe that ruled this civilization was called the Soul Tribe.

    The Soul Tribe excelled in honing soul power, which was equivalent to consciousness in today¡¯s term. However, they had frail physique so they invented all types of rune equipment to protect themselves. Their technology had developed rapidly thanks to their powerful consciousness.

    Nheless, they could not prevent extinction in the end. This ruin here was probably their capital in the past.

    Everything around here was destroyed, but the souls of the tribe had persisted. They lingered around here endlessly, forming a special dimension that only opened at a certain time under certain circumstances.

    The technology, bio advancement, and consciousness training method of this ce were being heavily sought after. The most precious item would probably be the Sacred Armor the Dragon and Sea Tribe had mentioned during their argument.

    ¡®I wonder why the Sacred Armor matters so much. But that¡¯s probably not something I can get my hands on. Let¡¯s focus on avable resources at hand.¡¯

    Not many would benefit from ancient martial arts or consciousness development. In contrast, technology could change a lot of things at so many different levels.

    At the very least, Qin Feng was currently the president of the Fengli Organization so he valued technology, gun, and artillery development.

    He would have no trouble selling new technology to everyone but the same could not be said for secret arts.

    Thetter involved too many hidden agendas and it might aggravate the upper echelon.

    Qin Feng patrolled around the machine and surveyed it. He then grabbed one corner of it and pulled the machine out forcefully.

    The machine was more than ten meters long and it looked like an oval public transport. It was clearly broken in half.

    ¡®This is probably a vehicle.¡¯ Qin Feng asked Bai Li to store the machine in her space.

    After they were done, Qin Feng nced at a corner of a deserted building. He did not say anything and walked on.

    The few figures in the corner were petrified as they met Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°The human, he saw us right?¡±

    ¡°No doubt. He definitely did. He didn¡¯t even break a sweat taking care of so many dragon-borne at once. Are all elects from the human race this powerful?¡±

    ¡°Luckily he didn¡¯t have any interest in us!¡±

    ¡°We should keep a distance the next time we see him!¡±

 Chapter 544 - Massive Shade

    <h4>Chapter 544: Massive Shade</h4>

    The several Sea Tribe creatures were alerted by the vibrations from the battle, they assumed that it was the powerful presence from the machine that they had moved earlier, and perhaps they might even take advantage of the situation to their own benefit.

    However, it was a totally different scene from what they had in mind.

    The Sea Tribe creatures were reluctant to show themselves.

    Of course, Qin Feng had sensed their presence; however, since they had not shown themselves, Qin Feng did not wish to expose them either.

    Due to the suppressed conscious energy and the horrifying gravitational system of the region, Qin Feng had decided not to use his Sky Dweller and Silver Bolt.

    However, the situation was much more dangerous than Qin Feng¡¯s expectation.

    Perhaps, it was due to the numbers of the tribes being much greater than the number that Qin Feng had expected.

    A short momentter, Qin Feng was able to identify the appearance of some intelligent species, some of them were those that had invaded Qin Feng¡¯s region before, hence, they were instantly recognized by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Skeletal Fiend Tribe!¡±

    Qin Feng looked toward the group of creatures that were in charred-ck skin color, and had piercing bones that had extended out from their spines.

    They were battling against the Shades with their elongated blood-red spines on their hands, and their waving attacks had crushed the Shades into pieces.

    ¡°It is a C2-tier emperor!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately surrounded and concealed himself with ayer of dark runes. Although he was unafraid of such an opponent, it was unnecessary for him to be involved in such a time-consuming and meaningless battle.

    Then, Qin Feng was also surprised to see Wraith Devils, Sky Feather Tribe, Necrosoul Tribe, and others.

    Most of the intelligent species were still maintaining their human forms, and only some of them were exposed in other forms, however, their numbers were unexpectedly high.

    They were merely a hundred meters apart from others.

    Of course, encounters of different tribes would eventually lead to on-the-spot battles, and it had intensified the blood stench around the abandoned spot.

    Qin Feng continued to roam around with his dark ability and looted on some technological items, and it was impossible for the other tribes to detect his presence.

    Without noticing, the sky had gradually turned dark.

    It was a pitch-ck night without any stars above in the sky, it was like a deadly sky.

    Everyone that Qin Feng had encountered earlier were all hidden, Qin Feng had also sensed the unusual atmosphere and immediately entered into a half-copsed tall building.

    It was unknown how long the Shade tribe had died, however, the building still remained intact, from the facade of it, it used to be a building with more than thirty levels. Yet, there were only eight levels left, and it could be the battle that had left the ce to be a barrennd, there were no signs of any nts around.

    Qin Feng stepped into the dusty building that had not been visited by anyone for years, he swept across the surroundings with his internal strength and cleared up a clean spot.

    Bai Li jumped out from Qin Feng¡¯s embrace and stretched her body, then she turned into her human form while wearing a dress and a pair of high heels.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng looked out from the window while being hidden in the dark, it was already another world.

    Rays of white glow appeared and roamed around in varied sizes.

    Surprisingly, all of those were Shades.

    It was not a problem for Qin Feng to view in the dark, also, the semi-translucent and glowing Shades could easily be seen.

    Qin Feng initiated his internal strength to fill his pupils, he was able to observe the external surroundings more clearly.

    Then, he was prompted by an idea and immediately reached out to hismunicator.

    Although it has lost its connectivity, the camera recording was still functioning well, Qin Feng immediately recorded the surroundings.

    If the sizes of the Shades were in ordance with the treasures controlled by them, it would be easier to identify their treasures during daytime as all of the Shades would recede!

    Of course, Qin Feng was not the only one who had thought of such an idea.

    However, not everyone had such dark ability as Qin Feng.

    While he was still recording, battle waves were heard from a building that was a hundred meter away.

    Every Shade on the street was alerted and immediately turned and drifted toward the torn down building.

    Instantly, screams, roars, and scared noises were heard.

    Boom!

    Walls of the building were shattered into pieces while several dashes of shadow rushed out from the building.

    The body size of the tribe was shorter and they were only slightly above a meter in height, they had well-built physique and bulgy backs, and they were travelling very fast!

    ¡°Bane Frogmen!¡±

    It was an intelligent species that had visited Earth before, from Qin Feng¡¯s previous encounter, he was familiar with the tribe although he had not seen them often. Obviously, they were not powerful enough to invade the region where Qin Feng was at, and there were only several of them that hade.

    However, the Bane Frogmen were all exposed.

    Unfortunately, even if they were to freeze their movements, their lingering scent and their noises would easily expose them from the surroundings.

    The frogmen sprinted at high speed and started going toward the direction Qin Feng was at!

    Qin Feng was instantly shocked as he realized that his arrival earlier was seen by the frogmen!

    Their intention was to have Qin Feng cover their backs.

    The frogmen were speeding up and about to arrive at the building where Qin Feng was at!

    ¡°Pss!¡±

    A ray of ck light was shot out from the window andnded on the dusty ground, and a corroded hole was instantly formed on the ground!

    One of the frogmen immediately stopped, however, the Shades that were behind were still chasing after them and showed no signs of slowing down.

    With that in mind, the frogmen made a wild choice to continue to rush forward.

    However, within a split second, Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability had alreadynded onto the body of the frogmen.

    The first shot was a warning, and the second shot from Qin Feng was aimed for the kill.

    As soon as the frogmen were hit by the ck light, their speed was greatly reduced and they were soon caught by the Shades, horrifying energy exploded andnded onto the frogmen.

    Certainly, the frogmen would notpromise to be a sitting duck. However, Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability was too powerful and it had greatly weakened their capability to fully perform theirbat energy, they were only left with half of their total energy.

    ¡°Wa! Wa!¡±

    The frogmen let out their raging roars and showcased their deep hatred toward Qin Feng, however, they had no choice but to be hunted down by the Shades.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯s pupils gradually widened.

    He noticed that the frogmen that were killed by the Shades did not suffer much injuries, however, all of their energy had disappeared while the Shades had gained a little more in size, and their translucent body glowed even brighter.

    Surprisingly, the Shades were able to absorb energy from the body of the intelligent species.

    Could it be the reason for the massively sized Shades?

    Meanwhile, a glittering light was seen from afar.

    It was from a very far distance, as if it was at the end of the visible distance, it was a hollow shadow that was about to extend into the clouds, it was extremely vague and like a translucent jellyfish in the waters.

    ¡°Such a big one!¡±

    Qin Feng was struck dumb.

    How many people had it killed to achieve such heights?

 Chapter 545 - Second Encounter of Wraith Devil

    <h4>Chapter 545: Second Encounter of Wraith Devil</h4>

    Before Qin Feng could observe more, he was already discovered by countless numbers of Shades, and all of them had converged into the building.

    Qin Feng frowned as he was irritated by such troublesome situations.

    ¡°Should we leave?¡± Bai Li asked, with her spatial ability, it was impossible for the Shades to cause any harm to them.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s leave!¡±

    Qin Feng had the chance to kill all of the Shades, however, by killing them, Qin Feng could only gain himself energy and nothing else.

    If so, it would be better to leave the ce.

    Bai Li held onto Qin Feng¡¯s hand while both of them were shrouded by silver light and instantly disappeared from their spot.

    After several glimmers, Bai Li had arrived at another building.

    Qin Feng cleared the area with his conscious energy again and settled down.

    Hismunicator was being set up as a drone while the surroundings were being concealed with dark ability, and Qin Feng had decided to only check on the surroundings the next day.

    Qin Feng took out his sleeping bag from his spatial rune equipment and got himself some good rest. After all, since the Dragon Gate Tower, Qin Feng had not rested for more than thirty hours!

    Whenpared to Qin Feng, the situation for the other talent sses were more pitiful as all of them were either too afraid to get some rest or constantly running away and hiding.

    ¡°This ce is too scary!¡±

    ¡°But we have obtained too little, no way!¡±

    ¡°It would be great if Qin Feng was with us earlier!¡±

    ¡°He must be unwilling to be with us, look at us now, we are truly a burden!¡±

    All of them were feeling hopeless, however, they could only conform to it as their capabilities were too weak!

    Most of them had the capability of a C-tier talent ss as they were all pureblood human beings from Dragon Capital, however, they were in great danger when preyed upon by other tribes.

    Fortunately, they were at the outer part of the final battlefield of the Soul Tribe, although there were not many precious items around, it was a less dangerous location.

    Hence, they were actually quite lucky.

    A day passed by, clouds began to appear from the edge of the sky, Qin Feng opened his eyes and got up swiftly, he was already fully awake.

    He walked to the window pane and looked toward the Shades that were slowly disappearing.

    Qin Feng grabbed onto themunicator and selected thest recording andpared it to the first captured scene, as expected, he noticed that the routes that were taken by the massive Shades were almost the same.

    Qin Feng had only been there for a day, yet, he had already obtained important information about the Soul Tribe at the City of Death.

    Although the sky was still dark, it was obvious that someone was already moving around.

    Bai Li was still sleeping, however, as soon as she felt Qin Feng closing in, she turned herself into a little fox.

    Qin Feng carried Bai Li, zipped her in and jumped down from the window.

    Meanwhile, several bizarre looking intelligent species creatures were also walking out from the ruined building.

    As soon as they saw Qin Feng, they were all struck dumb and astonished by his presence.

    Of course, they had seen Qin Feng jumping down from above, however, they had not sensed Qin Feng¡¯s presence throughout the entire night, therefore, it would only prove that Qin Feng¡¯s skill was way beyond their level.

    All of them were irritated by Qin Feng¡¯s presence.

    If Qin Feng were to have any bad intentions, he would have already seeded with such a sly move!

    However, they had remained vignt throughout the night and Qin Feng did not intend to take any action either.

    Both parties stared at each other as they crossed paths, and none of them had the intention to escte the situation further!

    Qin Feng ran out, soon, he had arrived in a ruined building.

    The building waspletely destroyed, it was like there was nothing left behind. However, Qin Feng a Shade with an intense aura the night before, and it was right there.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was drawn out and swiped upward!

    Crack!

    Although the building was not built from concrete and steel, Qin Feng was still able to cut through it!

    Qin Feng went deeper to discover the reason that had caused the copse of the building, everything underneath his feet was unrecognizable, perhaps, it could be a bed from hundreds of years ago, or it could be a dining table.

    However, it would most probably be skeletal structures.

    Soon, an extremely rigid Shade appeared!

    It was about the size of a human body, and it also had facial features as well as limbs with horrifying flexibility.

    Swoosh!

    A shadow dashed across quickly with a speed that one could barely react to.

    ¡°Impacting me!¡±

    Qin Feng identified the shadow and immediately predicted the location of its next appearance, a ring-shaped me ability was instantly formed and sted toward the direction.

    The next moment, the shadow was hit, the white glowing light flickered and screaming from the soul was heard.

    ¡°I do not ept this...¡±

    The message was sent across via conscious energy, although the Soul Tribe was dead, however, it seemed like its conscious energy had remained.

    However, it should be considered dead already.

    With the limited space of the surroundings, Qin Feng was still able to keep up his speed, and it was even more threatening to the Shade.

    Surprisingly, the Shade activated its wind ability and travelled at lightspeed.

    Both sides were trapped in a dazzling and confusing battle.

    The powerful Shade had suffered the attacks from Qin Feng and its glow began to dim down.

    ¡°Poof!¡± Qin Fengnded a final sh and annihted the Shade.

    Meanwhile, an item that was wrapped around by the Shade had finally fallen on the ground, Qin Feng did not expect to see a piece of special-looking metal.

    It was only about the size of a palm; how could it host such a great amount of energy?

    Furthermore, Qin Feng sensed the presence of wind runes from the metal.

    ¡°Wait a minute, could this be...¡± Qin Feng gathered his thoughts and injected his conscious energy into the metal, a buzzing sound was heard from the metal as it floated into the air, Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy had then entered into a scene of howling gales.

    It was not Qin Feng¡¯s first encounter of such a situation as it was simr to the existence of the Godwill As.

    Unexpectedly, it was a technique for practising!

    Of course, it was a conscious energy practice technique for wind runes.

    ¡°Amazing!¡±

    Qin Feng was amazed and immediately inserted the metal piece into his space, then, he walked out from the building and headed toward another ce.

    The entire city was already under broad daylight, and countless numbers of intelligent species tribes were searching among the ruins.

    Qin Feng went ahead and moved toward another ce, surprisingly, someone was already there!

    It was a Shade that was even more horrifying with its intimidating energy presence, it was five meters in height and two meters in width, and surprisingly, it was surrounded by three wraith devils.

    However, all three of the wraith devils only had the capabilities of a C1-tier emperor, and it was difficult for them to sustain in facing against the Shade that was much stronger.

    ¡°This is not working, let¡¯s retreat!¡±

    ¡°Damn it, this Shade definitely has something great inside, at least, he would have three different techniques and also the Soul Tribe overcast!¡±

    ¡°Only if we can survive to obtain it, simr to us, the Soul Tribe also practices their souls, and our skills will not work very well against the Shades, why not...¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    The first wraith devil shouted and the remaining two followed and escaped quickly, the giant Shade was left behind and fell back into the rift of a building.

    Qin Feng gave a cold stare and sneered, he then turned around and walked away.

 Chapter 546 - Plotting

    <h4>Chapter 546: Plotting</h4>

    However, Qin Feng had only taken several steps and the wraith devils that had escaped earlier were back, instantly surrounding Qin Feng.

    Obviously, they did not leave, and had even concealed their presence by using dark runes.

    However, it was definitely an unrefined trick to pull in front of Qin Feng, a person that had already obtained the Hell Stone.

    ¡°Huh, surprisingly, a human tribe is not tricked by this!¡±

    The eyes of a wraith devil were flushed with blood-red color as they did not require human genes for their reproduction, they would only recognize humans as their meal to strengthen themselves.

    Hence, three of the wraith devils had already prepared themselves for battle as soon as they saw Qin Feng.

    However, they were nning to trick Qin Feng into battling the Shade to drain out both of their capabilities, surprisingly, Qin Feng did not fall for it and their n did not seed.

    ¡°Will anyone ever fall for such an inferior trick? Are all of you still at the intelligence level of a three-year-old?¡±

    Qin Feng sneered.

    All three wraith devils were enraged and they were consumed by their intensified bloodlust.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    Without much nonsense, three of the wraith devilsunched their attacks separately with their ws embedded with dark presence, and they pounced toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng swirled with his Verdant Emperor Saber on hand and faced against all three of them.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Unidentified amounts of realistic fuchsia re sparked and exploded.

    One of the wraith devils could barely dodge the horrifying re and got scratched, the unbearable pain had it instantly react with a miserable shriek.

    ¡°Bastard!¡±

    The wraith devil let out an infuriated roar, however, without any avable physical body for them to take over, they could onlyunch their attacks from their actual forms.

    One of the wraith devils hid in the ground and intended tounch its attacks toward Qin Feng from beneath.

    However, Qin Feng had too many skills up his sleeves!

    Boom!

    Qin Feng instantly turned the ground into molten magma, the hidden wraith devil was instantly exposed and shrouded by fire energy magma, and a continuous blood-curdling screech was heard.

    ¡°Kill him! Quick!¡±

    Massive amount of dark energy exploded and surrounded Qin Feng, it was about to corrode into Qin Feng¡¯s body and even tried to block his vision.

    However, all of those were actually useless against Qin Feng.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng swung his saber behind him andunched a series of horrifying battle skills.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    Within a split second, zing mes were channeled up to the sky and mmed onto the wraith devil that was releasing dark energy.

    The wraith devil did not expect Qin Feng to be able to trace him down, and it could only go all out in defending against the horrifying battle skills that were approaching.

    A gigantic and intense spiral was formed before him, and it was actually the devourer of dark energy.

    However, there was a limited capacity for such an energy devourer.

    Within seconds, Qin Feng¡¯s zing sky skill had already pierced through the energy devouring ck spiral, it was crushed and exploded into a fuchsia glow that mmed onto the body of the wraith devil.

    Boom!

    The wraith devil was tossed far away and mmed onto a tall building.

    Surprisingly, the wraith devil did not pierce through the building that was built by the Soul Tribe and had only left a giant pit onto it.

    However, the soul of the wraith devil had already been tremendously drained out, and it fell into the tall building.

    Qin Feng ignored the wraith devil as he rotated his Verdant Emperor Saber and forced a stab onto the ground, the de of the saber was submerged into the magma.

    ¡°Ah ah ah ah ah!¡±

    A wraith devil let out a wild roar while a conscious energy wave fluctuated and dispersed into waves that echoed to the radius of a hundred meters away.

    However, Qin Feng who stood at the center point was not affected by it at all!

    His conscious energy was much more powerful than the wraith devil¡¯s.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng slightly shifted his Verdant Emperor Saber and sted out a strong energy force.

    It halted the conscious energy fluctuations of the wraith devil.

    One down!

    Dark mist continued to linger in the surroundings while the remaining wraith devil was still undecided whether or not to continue the attacks toward Qin Feng.

    After all, one out of the other two partners had already died while the other one was heavily wounded!

    However, Qin Feng did not intend to show any mercy, he sprinted forward in light speed as he waved his Verdant Emperor Saber continuously.

    The wraith devil immediately reacted and defended against it.

    Dang!

    Dong dong!

    Kang!

    Both of them were caught up in the intense battle, despite the desperate attempt at defending itself, the wraith devil had no chance to escape from Qin Feng¡¯s assassination.

    Poof!

    Qin Feng had at least pierced his saber into the wraith devil¡¯s body hundreds of times.

    Qin Feng had already improved from years ago, and he was no longer confined by his options of skills!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was embedded with a horrifying amount of energy.

    ¡°Ah ah ah ah!¡±

    The wraith devil was forced into a dire and desperate state, and since escaping was not an option anymore, it turned around and pounced toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng immediately stabbed his saber through the body of the wraith devil, and the pitch-ck body faded even further.

    However, the wraith devil had already gotten close to Qin Feng, it was right before Qin Feng and was in the midst of pouncing toward him.

    ¡°Assimtion!¡±

    The wraith devil released a great amount of energy.

    Meanwhile, as the wraith devil got closer to Qin Feng, a translucent and glossy barrier was already formed a meter away from him.

    Internal strength shield.

    Vroom!

    The shield reacted with a repulsive energy that instantly disseminated the internal strength that was released by the wraith devil!

    The wraith devil instantly disintegrated like a moth that had flown into the mes.

    Ding!

    A soul pearl was congealed and formed, and it was the ultimate essence from the wraith devil.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and grabbed onto it, while another soul pearl flew out from the magma ground, the magma had since then diminished and the charred ck ground was left exposed.

    Qin Feng shifted his focus toward the tall building, within the short moment of dy, the wraith devil that had barely survived had managed to escape!

    ¡°The conscious energy radius is too small, so troublesome!¡±

    Being categorized under the soul system as an intelligent species, the wraith devil was obviously unaffected by the horrifying gravitational force of the region, hence, he was able to escape at such a high speed, he had already escaped to more than five hundred meters away and Qin Feng had no chance of catching up with him.

    ¡°Forget about it!¡±

    Qin Feng had no interest in going after the leftover victim, he returned to the rift and threw a me into it to agitate the Shade that was still hiding inside.

    The Shade was able to react violently under the siege of the wraith devils, however, it was unable to withstand Qin Feng¡¯s fire ability and it was immediately annihted.

    Qin Feng obtained some metal tes again, as mentioned by the wraith devils, it was the Soul Tribe overcast.

    Then, Qin Feng continued to sweep across the surroundings, and every giant Shade that had appeared during the recordings were all targeted by Qin Feng¡¯s raid!

    Amidst the raid, there were also other unweing tribes that hadunched their attacks toward Qin Feng, however, they were all ughtered by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng had a fruitful harvest throughout the day, and his capability was exposed to many in the surroundings.

    After all, noises from battles were disruptive to the surroundings and would eventually draw attention from the others, despite the limited mental strength radius of five hundred meters, some of the others were still able to sense Qin Feng¡¯s presence.

    Qin Feng was always the winner.

    Nightfall had descended once again.

    Qin Feng had already found a suitable spot for himself, however, within a short moment, he was alerted by the appearance of another group of people that hade to the same building.

    Furthermore, they were there for him.

 Chapter 547 - The Weak Work for the Powerful

    <h4>Chapter 547: The Weak Work for the Powerful</h4>

    Qin Feng sat on a bed in the lotus position. With the aid of dimensional runes, carrying a huge bed with him was hardly an issue at all.

    Of course, Qin Feng had already detected the presence of these people when they approached him. Still, they were also quite cautious when approaching Qin Feng, trying to pose as little threat as possible as they got closer.

    ¡°Hello! My name is Bai Yu. I¡¯m a Celestial! We¡¯re quite simr to your species in terms of gics!¡±

    The one who approached first was a C1-tier.

    She had an Eastern Asian face but long, golden silky hair. Her entire person seemed to be radiating warm light as she beamed up a friendly smile.

    There was a pair of energy wings, formed using light-type runes, on her back.

    A frown was pinched on Qin Feng¡¯s brows as he shot a cold look at her. ¡°If I remember correctly, Celestials can retract their wings at will. Don¡¯t you know that I¡¯m a dark-type aptitude user? You¡¯reing in here unting your light-type energy so nonchntly... aren¡¯t you worried that I could be offended by it?¡±

    Bai Yu was surprised when she heard this. She quickly retracted her wings, fearing that Qin Feng might turn hostile immediately.

    Then, she looked at Qin Feng curiously. The Celestials were revered by the human race¡ªthey even called them ¡°Celestials¡±, implying that these winged people were a race that stood above them. The radiance that was showered from their wings was considered most exquisite by most humans.

    Nheless, Qin Feng was a dark-type aptitude user; hence, this way of showing friendliness had no effect on him at all.

    ¡°My apologies. I¡¯m used to having my wings out. Of course, we could use them for battle too!¡± Bai Yu said softly.

    Qin Feng let out a cold smirk. It was already night time. This girl was showing her wings openly like an airhead. What was she thinking? Hoping to attract Shades over?

    ¡°What¡¯s your business here? Shoot!¡±

    Bai Yu smiled warmly. ¡°We both belong to the humanoid species. Now that thisnd that once belonged to the Soul Tribe had opened up, there are countless Prodigiesing here to fight for the Sacred Armor. I thought you and I could work together...¡±

    However, before Bai Yu was able to finish, Qin Feng rejected her without hesitation.

    ¡°Not interested!¡±

    His conscious energy too was disying a determined rejection to her.

    ¡°Err...¡± Bai Yu was stumped after hearing this. Come on now! She had not even told him about her proposal!

    ¡°Look, please don¡¯t reject this so quickly. You should know... there are many more enemies lying ahead. There are the wraith devils, the Devil Tribe, dragon-borne, blood-borne... they are all nasty adversaries, you know!¡±

    These were not just the ones in this ce. In fact, there were a lot more of the intelligent species present here. And they were quite powerful too. If one wanted to pull this through, forming an alliance with one another was a safe way. Many who fought alone were either quickly left behind or killed.

    ¡°I only work together with the strong. I might meet more people in the future that are a lot stronger. So, for now, I intend to do this solo!¡± Qin Feng responded coldly.

    ¡°Are you saying we¡¯re not strong?¡±

    Bai Yu¡¯s face instantly turned grim. The warm friendliness was now gone; now, there was a snobbish demeanor cloaked on her face.

    She was a Celestial, the race that was revered by many. If it were not because Qin Feng looked strong, she would not talk to him so warmly.

    ¡°Oh, and you¡¯re saying you are?¡± Qin Feng smirked. He saw through her fake friendliness from the start; thus, he decided to reject her outright. He was not interested in bing a pawn for her.

    ¡°Alright then. I¡¯ll be expecting you at the depths of this wretchednd. Now, try to stay alive before the actual fight for the Sacred Armor!¡±

    After exchanging heated words, Bai Yu turned and walked away.

    Qin Feng did not even spare her another look. After putting down hismunicator to record the surrounding areas, Qin Fengy down to rest.

    Fortunately, the Celestials like Bai Yu did not seem to have any intention of giving him any trouble for now despite him rejecting their invitation to team up.

    ***

    Meanwhile, at the Dragon Capital... The Prodigies that ventured here had all acquired a lot of prizes and were allowed to train in the city¡¯s training grounds.

    Jin Fei and Zhou Hao did quite well. As such, they got to train there too. As for the A-tiers, their attention was mostly directed to the ones who were at the top of the Dragon Gate Tower.

    In less than eighteen hours, there was already someoneing out from there. And it was not just one, but two people stepping out.

    And these two were Ai Duo and Pang Ruo.

    These two were still rather weak so they could only venture around the edge of the tower. When night came, the ce got even more perilous. As such, they left the tower in less than twenty four hours.

    Pang Ruo¡¯s family came to pick him up. The items that were in his hands were, of course, digested by now.

    As for Ai Duo¡¯s items, those were already booked by Ge Lang.

    If it were not for that, these people would not have invested so much in raising the prodigies.

    ¡°Ai Duo, hand over the stuff. We can appraise and see how much we could give you when we see it. If there is any Secret Technique Scroll from the Soul Tribe, we could sell them on the for you. Don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll you a good price!¡±

    Ai Duo did not know just how valuable these items were; hence, he handed them over. And yet, the money he got from those was so much that he felt dizzy when seeing the number. These things were worth a few trillions of power credits!

    Ge Lang did not hesitate at all when making the transaction. He had promised to aid Ai Duo after all. Also, he also wanted to ensure that Ai Duo had plenty of money so he would not be financially disadvantaged.

    Ai Duo was, of course, overjoyed for receiving this gigantic paycheck.

    The onlookers were looking at them with envy.

    After Ai Duo left, the other A-tiers approached Ge Lang to congratte him.

    ¡°Generael Ge, nice haul today, huh?¡±

    Ge Langughed out joyously before settling down, ¡°No no, please. These belong to the West Region Human Alliance. These are not mine.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I suppose. However, since it belongs to the alliance, that means we all get to share!¡±

    ¡°If you find anything good in the future, be sure to give us a discount, yea?¡±

    ¡°Right! Perhaps your discovery this year would help us a lot!¡±

    As they were chatting away to kiss Ge Lang¡¯s ass, these Soul Tribe members found that most of the items were machineries. Some of them were even enchanted with runes. As such, these could certainly improve humans¡¯ lives.

    However, there was no way that Ai Duo could finish researching these alone. And he got to earn a lot of cash by selling these out in one go too.

    Of course, the ones who really benefited from these was not him. It was never him.

    Real powerful people did not need to lift a finger¡ªthey always acted behind the scenes, like a puppeteer.

    On the third day, Long Gan and the others were also back. Naturally, their haul was even bigger.

    They had three members after all. As such, they could aid one another in killing, ughtering and raiding in there. If it were not for them being surrounded by other species, they could get even more loot than this.

    All three of them were affiliated to their own families. As such, they gave their loot to their families.

    The only one who had note out yet was Qin Feng!

    ¡°Qin Feng ascended at thest minute. He is a C3-tier now. With that strength, he could get even more loot than these guys!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, when hees out, Shang Han could buy these loot from Qin Feng if she wants to!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, but who knows how long he canst in there?¡±

    The A-tiers spected as they looked at the tower, hoping to see any signs of Qin Feng¡¯s return.

    However, the fourth day came and went... the fifth day... sixth...

    And yet, Qin Feng did not return.

    Even Shang Han was worried after seeing this.

    ¡°Qin Feng is strong indeed. He probably ventured to much more dangerous areas... could he have been in by the other intelligent species?¡±

 Chapter 548 - Letâ€™s Work Together for Now

    <h4>Chapter 548: Let¡¯s Work Together for Now</h4>

    As everyone was worried for him, unsettling rumors about Qin Feng¡¯s demise started to spread.

    Of course, the ones who really worried for Qin Feng were not the A-tiers¡ªit was Jin Fei, Zhou Hao and the employees of the Fengli Organization.

    This was a trip into another dimension; as such, they could not reach Qin Feng¡¯smunicator. With how massive the Fengli Organization was now, they had a lot of enemies inside and outside of theirpany.

    During his training at Dragon Capital, Zhou Hao was pulling a long face as his intense aura splurged out of his body. His Golden Queen Ant was pping its wings on his shoulder, ready to strike at any time.

    ¡°Get them all on a cklist. When Qin Fenges back, make sure to submit it to him. Let¡¯s have these ungrateful bastards fired!¡± Zhou Hao was furious.

    The one who was sitting opposite of him was Xue Xingfu.

    Xue Xingfu sighed, ¡°Although our dear chairman coulde back with good results every time, this time he¡¯s heading to the Secret Territory of Dragon Capital. No one knows just how dangerous the ce is!¡±

    ¡°Xue Xingfu! Don¡¯t tell me even you don¡¯t have faith in him? He¡¯s only been gone for a few days. Don¡¯t give me this bullcrap!¡± Zhou Hao was getting more and more agitated as he heard what Xue Xingfu had to say.

    Xue Xingfu shrugged. ¡°No, I¡¯m just worried for him. You know, it¡¯s reassuring to have him around to cover for us when ourpany goes around making so many enemies. But now with him away, I feel so insecure!¡±

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s ¡°power¡± was merely his wealth¡ªhe did not have much training despite having recently ascended to D-tier.

    As for Zhou Hao, he had been steadily getting more powerful via training. His potential was rather limitless at this rate.

    ¡°Then I want you to stop this demotivating talk from now on. Bai Li is with Qin Feng right now. So, nothing wrong can happen. And since people think that we, the Fengli Organization, is a thorn on their sides, then we¡¯ll downsize and make the organization limited to a small size with elites. We didn¡¯t really have the thought of hiring so many goons in the first ce. Now, go and fire those bastards!¡±

    Although firing a lot of employees in one go could result in a huge scandal, Zhou Hao did not care much about it right now.

    To him, it was these ungrateful bastards trying to stir sh*t up.

    ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll do just that.¡± Xue Xingfu nodded.

    After they disconnected theirmunicators, Xue Xingfu continued dealing with the management in the Fengli Organization while Zhou Hao continued on with his training to make himself stronger.

    If he was too weak, he would not be able to keep up with Qin Feng. If he could not keep up, he would not be able to help Qin Feng defend his empire.

    As such, he had to work harder.

    If he did not work harder, how was he any different than a useless trash?

    ***

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng had ventured close to the Soul Tribe¡¯s ruined city.

    The center of this city was apparently the main ce where most battles happened. He could find high-leveled and high-powered guns along the way on the road.

    In this area, every enemy was at least around C3-tier. And every one of them was a King-tier!

    Some of them were Emperor-tier too!

    If it were not for Qin Feng¡¯s powerful dantian and internal energy¡ªones that were even stronger than B-tiers, he would have definitely been defeated in no time.

    ¡°Bai Li, how¡¯s our surroundings?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Hmm, there are 123 people around. Their Shade levels are high too. Most of them are in stealth mode right now.¡± Bai Li answered.

    Qin Feng frowned upon hearing this.

    One hundred twenty three enemies? There were simply too many of them!

    Still, this was also expected. After all, almost every single loot that could be found here had huge research value or were highly-prized treasures.

    Luckily, Qin Feng was no weakling. And he had Bai Li on his side too.

    Unlike Qin Feng who had to kill and devour the ultra beasts actively, Bai Li could store crystal cores in her dimension and digest them passively. Hence, she was able to ascend much faster than he could.

    Now, she was already a C6-tier beast emperor. She was the most powerful entity among all the creatures in the scene right now.

    ¡°Well, when the fight begins, it would not just be these 100-ish people. There could be moreing our way. After all, there are a lot of people aiming for the Sacred Armor!¡± Qin Feng calmly analyzed the situation at hand.

    He saw something floating in the air from a distance¡ªit was a silver glove.

    He could sense that this thing was definitely an equipment with great power!

    In just a week, Qin Feng was able to analyze and understand the area over here. These kinds of Sacred Armors were quite rare. In fact, the Soul Tribe only had twelve Second-grade Sacred Armors and one Top-grade Sacred Armor back then.

    Even though this was a glove, there were already many prodigies crowding over, waiting to grab it.

    Still, Qin Feng knew that there was a thirty-meter tall Shade roaming in the area. It was able to move swiftly and devour several prodigies¡¯ soulsst night.

    Now, all everyone was doing was stare at the ce, trying to suppress their overflowing desire for the treasure.

    Right now, no one dared to be the first toe out. Moving out early would only get themselves killed, which would then mean that they would not be able to nab the treasure back home alive.

    Hence, right now there was a stalemate.

    Suddenly, a silhouette walked out from the shadows.

    It was the Celestial¡ªBai Yu!

    There were also four other female Celestials tailing her too. Every one of them was emitting strong presence, showing proof that they were quite powerful too.

    However, there were also other entities that were much more powerful than these five. For one, there was a C5-tier member from the Ironvein Tribe!

    This guy was around five-meter-tall and had a full body seemingly formed with steel. Not only that, he was able to conceal his information by shift-shaping his body¡¯sponents into rocks. Despite his great size, no one dared toe out and confront him, allowing him to survive for this long.

    Bai Yu knew that there were a lot of people hiding in the area. Her conscious energy perked up and rippled through the area with a message she wanted to inform everyone.

    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, it would be a waste of time for us to keep on with this stalemate. How about we form an alliance? Let¡¯s y this Shade first. Then, we will start fighting for the Sacred Armor fair and square.¡±

    ¡°Fair and square¡±? Right.

    Everyone knew that at the very least they would not be able to win against that C5-tier Ironvein Tribe member.

    Seeing that no one was stepping out to ept her invitation, Bai Yu continued persuading, ¡°Besides, if we form an alliance here, we could also keep out other intruders that arriveter. If they did not participate in ying this Shade, they have no right to fight for the Sacred Armor. I believe no one here wants theters toe and nab the prize, right?¡±

    ¡°If you intend to not join me, then fine. Stay here and continue to waste your time! However, if youe out now and join me, perhaps we could form an alliance in the future too. This would mean we could do a lot more together, you know!¡±

    Still, this still meant that in the end the Sacred Armor would still belong to the one with more people on their side.

    However, there were about twenty in total who walked out of their hiding ces.

    Seeing this, there were more and moreing out too.

    Qin Feng took some time to think about it before saying, ¡°Perhaps we should check it out!¡±

    ¡°Sure!¡±

    Bai Li nodded in agreement.

    If it were nabbing the prize in a battle royale, there was no way she would chicken out from it! She was in fact a professional in doing so!

    Qin Feng retracted his dark-type energy and walked out from his hiding with Bai Li.

    Both of them were small in size and number but no one dared to look down on them.

    Bai Yu too had noticed Qin Feng.

    She had tried to extend an invitation to form an alliance to Qin Feng but he rejected her outright back then. As such, she had a bad impression of him.

    ¡°Huh, I thought this dude said he doesn¡¯t want to work with weaklings? And yet, now he has stepped out and epted it!¡±

    Of course, she knew that Qin Feng stepping out to join her ¡°alliance¡± right now was not for her sake.

    The thought of him still not thinking highly of her made her even more agitated than before.

 Chapter 549 - A Coordinated Hunt

    <h4>Chapter 549: A Coordinated Hunt</h4>

    Moreover, when Bai Yu saw Bai Li she felt even more furious than before.

    Oh, so he did not want to work with her because he wanted to find someone more beautiful than her?!

    ¡°This b*tch! She must be just another weak flower vase!¡±

    Bai Yu had no good impression of Bai Li at all.

    However, right now every single person who stepped out was agreeing to her public call for alliance earlier, so there was no way she could refuse working with Qin Feng.

    Not only that, Qin Feng had be something of a celebrity in thest few days. As such, after seeing that even Qin Feng had seemingly agreed to this alliance, many felt that this alliance was a usible solution to their problem at hand.

    At the very least, they did not want to be Qin Feng¡¯s enemy right now.

    And with him in the alliance to deter theters, there was no way they would have the chance to fight for the Sacred Armor after the Shade had been in.

    Thus, more and more were stepping out of the shadows. There were now more than hundredsing out to join Bai Yu.

    After waiting for about five minutes, seeing that no one else wasing out to join her, Bai Yu opened her mouth again, ¡°From now on, everyone here now is a member of our temporary alliance. Even though this alliance would be dissolved after we defeat that Shade, if there are anyters that want to grab the Sacred Armor or attack one of us here, we should all work together again to fight them off!¡±

    Of course, she did not mention what should happen after the Shade was dead. Everyone knew what should happen anyway.

    ¡°Certainly.¡±

    ¡°Okay, you have my word!¡±

    ¡°We are all prodigies here! As such, you can trust all of us here! We will keep our promise!¡±

    Thus, the alliance was formed.

    The first to dash forward was the C5-tier Ironvein Tribe creature. He dragged his massive stone hammer on the ground, umting momentum, before tossing it straight at the silver glove.

    Booom!!

    Before the stone hammer was able to hit the silver glove, a powerful energy appeared instantly next to the equipment, sending a terrifying shockwave rippling across the ruins.

    Then, a huge Shade appeared before everyone.

    It was about a hundred meters in height and thirty meters wide.

    Its feet alone were about thirteen to fourteen meters wide.

    To add on, most Shades did not retain their current form for a long time. Thus, if it wanted, it might be able to grow evenrger than this.

    Whooosh!!

    The Shade raised its arm and pped down its gigantic palm onto the prodigies! Qin Feng was one of them too.

    ¡°Internal force shield!¡±

    Qin Feng quickly rowed up his internal energy to form a sturdy barrier around him while stabbing his Verdant Emperor Saber upward.

    Booom!

    Five Prodigies around Qin Feng were covered andpletely crushed by the gigantic palm

    ¡°Pfff!!¡± A prodigy spewed blood before slumping down.

    This Shade was too powerful!

    ¡°Argghh!!¡± A prodigy perked up his energy and stabbed it straight at the massive palm

    Feeling his and Qin Feng¡¯s attacks, the Shade let out a furious roar and raised its palm up again.

    The prodigies¡¯ attacks on the Shade were like a human hitting on the ground. Sure, the ground¡¯s soil might have been ttened by the human hand; however, there could be stones on the ground too.

    This meant that the prodigies could have been hurt by this attack while doing very little damage on the Shade.

    The attacks did not hurt much. However, it provoked the Shade.

    Shades were simple, emotional-reactive creatures. Their attack patterns were mainly reactive too.

    Hence, in the next instant, another wave of terrifying energy rushed straight at them.

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng knew he could block this attack forcefully. As such, he quickly moved away from the spot, evading the attack. A prodigy was not able to move away in time. In an excruciating cry, he was enveloped in that powerful energy wave!

    Thankfully, he had several powerful, sturdy equipment on him, allowing him to survive the attack!

    Nheless, this also meant that he had revealed his trump card. Not only that, he had now endured great damage and could be potentially retaining grave wounds.

    Thus, without hesitation, he quickly waved out a dimensional portal and fled the scene.

    Several people noticed this. However, no one stopped him from fleeing.

    After all, with him gone, this meant that they would have one lesspetitor to fight againstter on!

    As the prodigies attacked the Shade again and again, they started to struggle against the enormous monstrosity.

    Booom! Boooom!

    ¡°Argh!!!¡±

    ¡°Gosh, that hurts!¡±

    Boooooooom!

    With the noises of battle rocking and echoing in the ruins, more and more powerful attacks and skills were being used.

    Having activated his Fiery Peacock Wings, Qin Feng darted straight to the sky as he charged up his dark-type energy.

    ¡°Light of Death!¡±

    In an instant, the Shade¡¯s shoulder was enveloped by Qin Feng¡¯s dark runes. As its shoulder started to disintegrate, Qin Feng was able to absorb a significant amount of its energy.

    The Shade roared painfully as it grew an additional arm on its back and hurled a p toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    In an instant, a massive Fire Dragon appeared before the Shade and entangled the massive arm, allowing Qin Feng to fly away.

    Thus, with thebined strength of the prodigies, the gigantic Shade became weaker and weaker!

    ¡°Good! This darn monster is about to die!¡±

    ¡°I better get ready then!¡±

    ¡°Heh, no way! I¡¯ll kill all of you! The Sacred Armor is mine!¡±

    Unlike their careful attitude earlier, the prodigies had now started to be agitated.

    This Sacred Armor was something much more powerful than the other God Equipment. As such, it was quite natural for them to be excited over it.

    Thus, they began to strike at the Shade with stronger attacks.

    Qin Feng too was not letting up. His eyes were fuming with fire as he leered at the Shade¡¯s sheer body.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    A potent energy gushed out of his Verdant Emperor Saber!

    Booom!

    Thus, the Shade waspletely destroyed by Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    The Shade¡¯s body began to disintegrate into countless light particles and dissipate into the air.

    Qin Feng, of course, started to absorb them into his body, further strengthening himself.

    His conscious energy instantly rose up as he felt a surge of energy flowing in his body.

    His consciousness had now ascended to C4-tier.

    In an instant, Qin Feng was able to extend his consciousness to scan arger area around him and realized that there were about five hundred prodigiesing their way.

    Suddenly, a pir of silver light beamed up to the sky as soon as the Shade died.

    This silver light was even brighter and wider than that of the Shade, almost a hundred meters wide. Not only that the Shades that were hiding in the area too were lured to them by the silver light.

    The prodigies were too upied with the thought of fighting for the Sacred Armor and did not notice this ring phenomenon.

    ¡°Roaar!!¡±

    Countless Shades dashed to their location in the next moment.

    What a terrifying sight!

    The Prodigies were shocked when they saw this!

    ¡°Qui... Quick! We have to run!¡±

    With hundreds and hundreds of Shadesing their way, these prodigies did not dare to stay and fight. If they stayed, the only thing that awaited them was the never-ending waves of Shades¡¯ attacks.

    ¡°No!!! No, I can¡¯t leave! I must have the Sacred Armor!¡±

    ¡°The armor... If I can get the Sacred Armor, I could flee away via my dimensional portal! Yes, it¡¯s possible to do that!¡±

    Many prodigies had this idea. Hence, the prodigies who were about five hundred meters away quickly dashed forward into the light.

    In an instant, the whole ce was as chaotic as hell.

    Within this blinding silver light, no one was able to see and detect exactly where this silver glove was. As such, all they could do was fly around in the light to search for it.

    The silver light pir was not really huge too. As such, everyone started to fight among themselves as they rammed into one another!

    It was then, a terrifying dimensional energy rained down from the sky and devoured the silver light¡ªBai Li had finally shown her hand!

 Chapter 550 - Taking Advantage Of The Chaos

    <h4>Chapter 550: Taking Advantage Of The Chaos</h4>

    Nobody could figure out where the Sacred Gauntlets were, not even Bai Li. As such, she started to open up small spatial rifts, sticking her hand into them to go ¡®fishing¡¯.

    As for the prodigies of the other tribes, some were trying to hide while some were charging forward and fighting for their lives!

    When Bai Li¡¯s spatial rift spread out to about fifty meters, the white light of the Lesser Sacred Armor finally disappeared.

    ¡°Got it!¡± Bai Li felt the Sacred Armor appearing within her space and immediately contacted Qin Feng via her consciousness..

    ¡°We start looting, after all its chaos everywhere. If we leave now it¡¯ll look suspicious!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Oh I get it! We¡¯re taking advantage of chaos!¡± Bai Li smiled before beginning to stay close to Qin Feng, guarding him from anyone that mighte to attack them.

    The moment the white light disappeared, the prodigy closest to it was immediately the subject of scrutiny.

    ¡°He took the Sacred Armor!¡±

    ¡°Hand it over and you won¡¯t die!¡±

    ¡°Nonsense! Charge him!¡±

    The consciousness rolled like a violent storm, heavily disorienting the mind. The prodigy was absolutely confused and found himself suddenly being attacked from all sides.

    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t! I didn¡¯t take it!¡±

    It was unfortunate that nobody believed him.

    As numerous attacks were thrown in his direction, he did not even have time to use his spatial beacon before total annihtion.

    He hadpletely turned into Bai Li¡¯s scapegoat.

    Crack!

    A bolt of lightning crashed into the prodigy¡¯s body and another prodigy that knew martial arts delivered a swift punch.

    Boom!

    In an instant, the prodigy¡¯s corpse was turned into ash.

    Seven or eight spatial rune equipment was revealed.

    Of course, any top-tier prodigy would naturally carry more than one spatial rune equipment, it would not be enough to carry their things. It was just that nobody knew which one contained the Sacred Armor.

    ¡°Mine!¡± A wyaird snatched up the spatial rune equipment and quickly looked through them with his consciousness but he could not find the Sacred Armor.

    ¡°Damn! Not here!¡± Just as he looked up, he found himself getting mobbed by the others around him.

    ¡°Go away! There¡¯s nothing here!¡± He called out via his consciousness but just like thest guy, nobody bothered to listen!

    Qin Feng smirked, at the same time, he reached out with a dark ability. He crippled the prodigy¡¯sbat effectiveness.

    Under siege from all directions, the prodigy could not hold himself from coughing up a mouthful of blood.

    ¡°Just take it!¡±

    He raised a hand and quickly threw away the spatial rune equipment.

    ¡°Don¡¯t believe him! Who knows which one he threw?¡±

    ¡°Attack!¡±

    ¡°Die!¡±

    This group was absolutely bloodthirsty. For a moment, they did not seem to care about the Sacred Armor and killed whoever they saw, fanning the mes.

    The entire area had be a bloody mosh pit, blood misted the air and the wind carried the scent of death.

    Qin Feng could feel the absorption ability feeding on the energies of the dead. These prodigies were not normal people, each one that died was as if he had killed a beast king and because of this he hoped that this carnage would continue.

    Hundreds of powerful individuals fighting against one another. The scene was terrifying.

    When he snatched up four or five spatial rune equipment, he immediately got targeted by other prodigies.

    A bloodthirsty prodigy of the Wild Tribe rushed over and viciously mmed a fist onto Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shield.

    Boom! His internal force trembled and seemed to have gotten weaker from the impact.

    Just as quickly, theyers reapplied themselves and remained intact.

    Qin Feng sneered, swinging the Verdant Emperor Saber and shed at the Wild Tribe prodigy.

    Dong dong dong!

    As he fought, seven or eight people around him began tounch their attacks.

    ¡°Get away from him! Die!¡± Bai Li eximed, cracking the whip in her hands as spatial rifts appeared around them. The prodigies were taken by surprise, using their energy to seal the rifts so they would not get hit by this attack.

    Qin Feng bore the brunt of the attacks from seven people and began to wildly swing his weapon.

    ¡°Blooming me!¡±

    Fwoosh!

    A fuchsia light erupted outward as the prodigies tried to defend themselves from it.

    Pfft!

    One prodigy could not defend himself and instantly became a dried husk the moment Qin Feng¡¯s fuchsia light hit him.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng swung his saber and the person immediately turned into ash, dropping all six spatial rune equipment into his hands.

    The surrounding prodigies were enraged.

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s got a lot of good loot on him!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, it¡¯s him! Use this chance to get rid of a strong enemy!¡±

    They cried out with fury when they saw Qin Feng.

    ¡°Fire Wall!¡± Qin Feng put on a chilling grin as he unleashed his ability.

    But these were prodigies, none of them were easy foes.

    ¡°Thunder Wall!¡±

    ¡°Water Barrier!¡±

    The ones who could use runes activated their strongest abilities as well.

    The warriors were not weak either.

    ¡°Martial Enchantment: Unstoppable Force!¡±

    ¡°Martial Enchantment: Speed of Light!¡±

    ¡°Martial Enchantment: Immovable Object!¡±

    The Ironvein Tribe member that followed Bai Yu around earlier unleashed a terrifying aura around him, taking on a form that resembled a moving fortress as it charged directly toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s grin widened as the runes formed into a vortex in front of his brow.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    In an instant, a terrifying-like orb flew out from between his eyes and suspended itself above his head.

    It was the Sacred me Meteor.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Wall began to quickly expand from a hundred meters range!

    Two hundred meters, three hundred meters, four hundred meters!

    Even the prodigies that were hiding before were shrouded by Qin Feng.

    The others who were using simr abilities were overpowered by his attack despite their powerful attacks.

    ¡°Die!¡± He pointed toward the Ironvein Tribe prodigy.

    Boom!

    The Sacred me Meteor shot forward, crashing into the Ironvein.

    The fortress-like body of the Ironvein shook as if it had been hit by a cannonball bombardment. It began to crumble from the attack as it got consumed by the mes and reduced to ashes.

    More than a dozen spatial rune equipment fell from his hands and Qin Feng scooped it all up with a wave of his hand.

    He raised his hand and sent the Sacred me Meteor flying around, nobody could withstand the force it carried in its wake.

    All became but ash.

    In just a moment, six died.

    None of them went down easily, trying to use their trump cards in order to save themselves.

    None of it proved strong enough to defeat Qin Feng! It was useless!

    They all saw the horror that was Qin Feng.

    ¡°Impossible! Run away! Flee!¡±

    ¡°He can¡¯t be beaten!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s just a human! How is he so strong?¡±

    The prodigies could not believe it, but they knew that it was impossible for them to fight back and began to make their escape, their eyes full of unwillingness to do so.

    All of them possessed a level of pride, but what was pride when it got crushed under Qin Feng¡¯s boots?

    Qin Feng just killed a good number of them.

    These prodigies had proven their strength, if they wanted to escape he did not bother chasing after them.

    He had already gained a lot from just looting the battlefield and killing off a few that tried to face him.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    He receded the Fire Wall and left the area with Bai Li.

 Chapter 551 - The Sacred Gauntlets

    <h4>Chapter 551: The Sacred Gauntlets</h4>

    Qin Feng still had Bai Li by his side, he could go wherever he wanted to because of that and ignored the countless attacking wraiths around him, disappearing from the battlefield in an instant.

    The prodigies who remained did not know who was holding onto the Sacred Armor. As soon as someone looked suspicious they would immediately get attacked by those around them. It was only because of the iing wraiths that they calmed down and joined forces to defend themselves.

    It took around three hours before the battlefieldpletely winded down.

    Qin Feng had disappeared to a safe spot long before then. With a flick of his hand he revealed up to 30 extra spatial rune equipment and deposited them inside the Battlegod Tomb.

    Back at the Fengli colony, when Xue Xingfu received these new items for the first time he wanted to know just who was behind them.

    The first thing he did was call Zhou Hao.

    Zhou Hao was still training in the Dragon Capital, cultivating his growing strength.

    ¡°Keep this a secret. Find those who aren¡¯t loyal to thepany and boot them out first!¡± Zhou Hao said.

    ¡°I was thinking the same thing!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good. Do some snooping around first and you can tell the Madman when hees back!¡±

    Xue Xingfu nodded. He was old but his mind was still sharp. He thought that people who were valuable should stay and be controlled. Unfortunately he did not have the strength to actually suppress these people.

    As such, it was best if he started doing some cleaning up!

    There were some people who hade out of admiration, but some others still had ulterior motives. Those kinds needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.

    He had no idea that Qin Feng, the person that he and Zhou Hao put the most faith in, had gone looking for Sacred Armor!

    Speaking of which, Qin Feng originally thought that once he escaped from those wraiths that the armor would stop shining. He did not expect it to still be glowing brightly even though it was inside Bai Li¡¯s space. That meant that it could not be taken out.

    However, he quickly thought of a way.

    Qin Feng gave Bai Li the Magical Tesseract and asked her to put the Tesseract into her space before throwing in a few random ingredients to mix everything together.

    After all, things that were made inside the Magical Tesseract did not give off any glow and looked simple and inconspicuous!

    Bai Li meticulously studied her space and after a while she decided on adding in some Dark materials. The moment the gauntlets were retrieved they did not give off any bright white light, they had be a pair ofpletely ck gloves.

    Qin Feng picked up the gloves and closely inspected the so-called Sacred Armor.

    ¡°It¡¯s actually made of metal? Could it have been manufactured?¡±

    He slipped the gloves onto his hands.

    The gloves seemed to have a mind of their own, instantly pressing against Qin Feng¡¯s hand but not so that it would feel tight or suffocating. It felt like ayer of film that coated his hand and this coating felt natural, like he had been born with it, as if there were no gaps between his hand and the material of the gloves.

    But then, a huge amount of force was suddenly felt.

    When this force erupted around his palm area and entered his body, Qin Feng felt pain suddenly spread throughout his body.

    This force did not flow with his meridians, nor did it seem to integrate into his body. It was like a wild series of explosions, causing massive damage.

    At that moment, Qin Feng felt as if his hands were about to get crushed. He was lucky that his physical form was durable enough that he was able to withstand this pressure.

    ¡°What kind of power is this? Damn it!¡± He did not expect something this dangerous to happen.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    He activated his ability and quickly used it to absorb this frightening force. His ability could even absorb this kind of power.

    Surely enough, within Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness, the ne of thought rotated as the dark absorption ability activated and began to consume the frightening chaotic energy that was in his body.

    Such energy was an extremely pure form of the heaven and earth spirit aura that he was familiar with and it seemed like it could be transformed into any kind of energy.

    Qin Feng used it to strengthen his body, adding to his physical strength. He soon learned that his cells did not have the capacity to allow the rampant growth that this energy was generating.

    He decidedly used it to surround the source of his consciousness. Due to this, his consciousness began to grow but this power came as quickly as it left.

    The amount of growth his consciousness experienced was as if he had spent an entire month meditating with the Godwill As, which was considered as a lot.

    He looked back to the gloves again and understood why this armor was so unique.

    The Soul Tribe¡¯s armor was like a special high-powered energy converter that could convert consciousness into any kind of energy and unleash it.

    Even though Qin Feng believed that it might not be as strong as most believed, something like this needed some testing.

    When he raised his hand, a silver light burst out from the center of his palm. This light had the same power as a crystal cannon, but it had a special puncturing effect to it.

    ¡°Amazing!¡± With this thing, he did not have to carry around heavy artillery cannons and if something like this could be mass produced, then who would not want something like it?

    However, something like this should remain rare.

    ¡°But, it doesn¡¯t feel strong in my hands. I don¡¯t have much use for it. Bai Li, you keep it. Next time some creep tries to get close to you, just give him a p and you¡¯ll send him flying off into the horizon!¡±

    Qin Feng took off the gloves and handed them to Bai Li.

    As for the frightening force, it was actually energy that had been stored within the Sacred Gauntlets over a long period of time. The gloves could gather and unleash energy several times its original power, that was why the prodigies were fighting tooth and nail to obtain it.

    However, Qin Feng was not interested in this kind of item. His internal strength was enough for him and he felt like it was not necessary to keep it.

    It felt like it was right for Bai Li, and she would not be exposed as a spatial ability user.

    She was very happy to receive the Sacred Gauntlets and even activated the Magical Tesseract to change the gloves¡¯ appearance to look like a pair of ckce gloves. Now they looked more like decorative clothing,pletely unrecognizable from the object that the prodigies were willing to kill each other for.

    ¡°These gauntlets are very valuable and I can make use of the remaining energy inside it. That being said, these just upped mypetitive level!¡±

    Qin Feng thought that it was a shame there were not many of these things left nowadays. There were still plenty of treasures out there so he did not feel too bad about it.

    Four days passed in the blink of an eye, Qin Feng joined a few raid parties during those times as they journeyed into the Perished Lands. Combined with the prodigies of the other tribes, they numbered up to tens of thousands.

    After experiencing enough bloody battles, Qin Feng and Bai Li quietly left.

    What they did not expect was that the ce they had set up camp was actually the base camp of a bunch of allied prodigies and among them was someone that Qin Feng recognized.

    Bai Yu!

    Qin Feng¡¯s brows shot up and instantly used Dark Shroud to envelop himself and Bai Li, quietly releasing his consciousness.

 Chapter 552 - The Divine Star

    <h4>Chapter 552: The Divine Star</h4>

    Even with that Ironvein Tribe powerhouse dead, it did not seem to affect Bai Yu at all. In fact, her group had grown in size since then.

    Qin Feng felt a bit of admiration for the woman¡¯s methods.

    Of course, besides her methods she also had her powers. She was from the Celestial Tribe and was naturally born with the ability to manipte light runes. This kind of being, should they exist in the Human Alliance, would be ssified as an ability user as well as a different title: a Cleric!

    Her light ability was extremely powerful, a single st of it could scour a man to the bones. The prodigies theypeted against were strong but not immortal, they fell in line to Bai Yu¡¯s call and developed a mutually beneficial rtionship.

    At this moment, the group was not fighting anyone. They had instead settled down to rest.

    ¡°These people are all so green. Don¡¯t they remember the most important info about the Perished Lands?¡± Bai Yu used her consciousness to speak.

    A C4-tier dragon-borne snorted in a cold, arrogant fashion and quickly replied with his consciousness.

    ¡°The Perished Lands will only exist for 15 days. After 15 days, the space gets locked. Even if you want to get out, you would have lost your chance by then. Today is thest day!¡±

    ¡°By that time, the Sacred Armor would have chosen a new master. What I don¡¯t know is just who will be the one seeding!¡±

    ¡°Even if we don¡¯t seed, we¡¯d be fine. If we did seed then the Sacred Armor would be ours!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned when he heard the exchange. He was among those people that did not know this information.

    Bai Li flicked her hand and the two teleported away, disappearing and reappearing in an abandoned building. After scanning his surroundings, Qin Feng was relieved to learn that there was not anyone else around.

    ¡°The people from the Dragon Capital are really unreliable!¡± Bai Li huffed. She had naturally heard the exchange between Bai Yu and the dragon-borne. After all, it would have been difficult for both races tomunicate normally, that was why they could only use their consciousness!

    ¡°It¡¯s not that they¡¯re unreliable, it¡¯s just that nobody¡¯s made it this far before!¡± Qin Feng said. ¡°Even though the Dragon Capital has prodigies, they are all D-tier since a C-tier would be impossible. The stuff they found in the outskirts were top-notchpared to the current technology Huaxia has, some of them haven¡¯t even been figured out yet!¡±

    Of course, there would always be some gains once every year. That was why the Dragon Capital was very advancedpared to the other regions.

    As for the objects that the other regions receive, they would all be hand-me-downs from the Dragon Capital!

    ¡°True. Weaklings will never know these secrets!¡± Bai Li said inly. As she grew, Bai Li¡¯s concept of life had been gradually affected. What she inherited from the Spatial Behemoth was just inheritance. What truly changed her was her environment.

    By now, she understood what it meant to respect the strong. It was all about natural selection. Survival of the fittest.

    ¡°Since we know about this now, I suppose we¡¯re going to have a great show to watch tonight!¡±

    Later in the afternoon, Qin Feng did not go out hunting. He stayed put and rested.

    The people who were bustling about would have exhausted most of their energy. By the time they had settled down for the night to recuperate they would not have enough power to bepetitive.

    The sky eventually turned dark and a strange starry nightscape filled the sky. It waspletely different from what Qin Feng would have seen on Earth.

    This was a different realm after all.

    Even day and night had their differences.

    The Shade started to slowlye out in the dark and began wandering aimlessly, unsure of what to do.

    Qin Feng stood by his bed and watched the strange scene outside.

    It had been half a month since his arrival but he was close to the center. Very close.

    It felt as if he would touch that giant Shade if he reached his hand out.

    The thing was humongous, reaching up to the clouds above, like arge moving fortress. With how close it was, it was impossible for it to have noticed them.

    From where he stood, he estimated that the creature was about one hundred meters in diameter. Humans really seemed like ants inparison to these things!

    This was the being that guarded the true Sacred Armor. It was contained inside its body.

    Helmet, chest piece, greaves, sabatons and gauntlets.

    It looked like a piece of high-end cutting edge technology from the future. It shone with a silver light, as if it was swimming in energy.

    Qin Feng had gone to the center during the day out of curiosity but could not find any sign of the Sacred Armor.

    It seemed like the Sacred Armor would only appear during the night.

    The huge Shade wandered aimlessly, nobody daring to get close to it. This was a force that the prodigies did not have the power to deal with.

    The Shade Behemoth was such a powerful being that it far surpassed all the others of its kind, it had to be at least S-tier in strength.

    Qin Feng had dared to challenge B-tier beast emperors with his C-tier powers but he did not dare try to fight an S-tier creature.

    It was a massive gap.

    He watched it intently, feeling anxious.

    Two hourster, a white light suddenly appeared in the dark. It was a light that shot straight down from the sky.

    It seemed that this strange realm also had a moon, but it had been covered by dark clouds. Now that the clouds had cleared, the moon naturally began to cast its light.

    It was a moon that carried bad omens.

    All the Shades were kicked into a frenzy and rushed toward the moonlit area. Qin Feng could even hear them roaring in his consciousness.

    ¡°Divine Star!¡±

    ¡°The Divine Star has appeared!¡±

    ¡°Light! I must get stronger. Stronger!¡±

    As they began to swarm toward the light, he noticed that the ones that bathed in it seemed to solidify.

    ¡°What is this light? Does it actually enhance the Shades? If they¡¯reposed of consciousness with the items they surround considered as carriers, would that mean this light could directly enhance one¡¯s consciousness?¡±

    Whatever it was, it was definitely something worth checking out.

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart beat faster as he watched, not wanting to miss a moment.

    Shades of different sizes were fighting one another to get ess to the light but none of them couldpete with the gigantic Shade he saw.

    The terrifying Shade Behemoth.

    The huge Shade shoved all the other Shades away and some Shades that were too weak to resist were absorbed into its body.

    That meant that the Shade Behemoth did not just carry the Sacred Armor. Its body was holding other things as well.

    Finally, the huge Shade stood under the beam of light and as the light seeped inside its body it became motionless and seemed to be frozen in ce.

    ¡°Now¡¯s our chance!¡± A voice suddenly rang out from the darkness. What followed was an armyposed of prodigies.

    These prodigies seemed to not fear death, avoiding the other Shades and dove headfirst into the behemoth¡¯s body.

    They did not even try to attack, they just went in.

    Qin Feng could clearly see the glowing wings on Bai Yu¡¯s back pping, carrying her aloft as she led hundreds of prodigies toward the Shades.

 Chapter 553 - The Belly of The Shade

    <h4>Chapter 553: The Belly of The Shade</h4>

    At that moment, Qin Feng did not show a trace of hesitation!

    ¡°We¡¯re going too!¡±

    He wrapped an arm around Bai Li¡¯s waist before unfurling the Blue me Peacock Wings, soaring out of the decrepit building he had been hiding in.

    There was no point in using Bai Li¡¯s teleportation, everyone was paying attention to their point of arrival after all.

    It was at this point that the prodigies who were unaware of what was going on realized that something impossible was happening. The ones who were charging straight into the Shades were not because they had gone mad.

    The Shades did not just sit around either. They would start to look for prodigies that were too far from the pack. For those prodigies that did not have a way to escape, they would definitely get surrounded and piled onto.

    Qin Feng¡¯s flight speed was not fast enough. Soon he found a fair number of the Shades drifting his way, trying to surround him and cut him off from his path.

    ¡°Fire Dragon!¡±

    A massive ming dragon zed a straight path forward, breaking through the iing Shades as Qin Feng followed after it. With the way clear he blitzed past more than a hundred meters in a single st.

    In the blink of an eye, he found himself getting closer to that terrifying massive Shade Behemoth.

    As he got closer, he began to see less of the creature¡¯s features as his sight was filled with something that looked like an ocean¡¯s worth of water trapped behind a flimsy film.

    When he pushed his head in, it felt just like he had plunged himself into water. What surrounded him was not water though, it was actually some kind of seemingly endless energy.

    He was not clear if he was feeling the power from the Divine Star¡¯s light or the Shade Behemoth¡¯s own body.

    He did feel that the energy around him was constantly being cycled through by his body. If he stayed here to cultivate then he truly would exceed beyond his normal progress.

    The problem was, who would want to think about meditating at a time like this?

    About twenty meters away from him was arge piece of metal. From what he understood, this piece of metal was a very special kind of material.

    Of course, it was a kind of metal that caused what it had been made into to get stronger as its user got stronger.

    As he tried to get closer to the item, he realized that his speed had plummeted greatly and the Blue me Phoenix Wings on his back were starting to flicker.

    He looked at the other prodigies who had also begun to stop using their abilities and were using their physical power alone to move around.

    ¡°I see, if that¡¯s the case then I don¡¯t need to worry about anyone else!¡±

    While Qin Feng might not be the most knowledgeable in this environment, he knew that nobody could match his body¡¯s raw power.

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    He activated his internal force, sending ripples through the water-like energy around him as he zipped toward the object. Within the blink of an eye, he had the metal in his grasp.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to! We should split up!¡± Bai Li called out.

    ¡°Okay, be careful!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry! I¡¯m not a little kid!¡± Bai Li waved her hand dismissively before going the opposite direction.

    Qin Feng trusted in Bai Li¡¯s own strength. For one, it was hard to pin her down thanks to her teleportation and if she encountered any trouble she could just reappear by his side.

    The two parted ways and went off to grab the items that were scattered around them.

    A dragon-borne spotted Qin Feng and revealed rows of sharp serrated teeth as it opened its mouth. Its eyes glowed a bright red in the gloom around them.

    ¡°Haha! Little human boy, wormed yourself into a trap eh? Since you¡¯re here now, you have to die!¡±

    The dragon-borne rushed toward Qin Feng as if like a missile, sending violent ripples through the energy surrounding them.

    When they were outside, the little human Qin Feng was a massive threat due to his abilities but in here, where abilities were diminished and everyone had to rely on their raw physical powers, the dragon-borne naturally thought it had a chance in taking on Qin Feng.

    Dragon-borne were always superior in strength.

    Boom!

    A fist came flying in. Normally it would have just been a normal punch but due to the energy around, the force of the blow had wrapped the fist with a small whirlpool.

    Within the Shade Behemoth¡¯s body, it was more obvious when someone activated their powers.

    ¡°You want to die? Fine by me!¡±

    Qin Feng also raised a fist. He was a meter shorter than the Dragon-borne he faced and his opponent¡¯s fist was three times his own size.

    However, what was terrifying about him was the power that he could unleash.

    As the two fists collided, they could hear a painful ear-grating sound.

    Crack!

    The Dragon-borne¡¯s finger bones had been crushed and there was a dent where a joint used to be. Blood began to pour from the open wound.

    ¡°How?¡± The Dragon-borne¡¯s face was contorted with a mix of disbelief and pain.

    Qin Feng did not stop and exin. He unleashed his murderous aura. If someone was going to kill him, he was not going to let them go.

    Boom!

    He delivered a punch into his opponent¡¯s stomach. While the dragon-borne was strong, it was not as fast as Qin Feng!

    It was about as durable as a C3-tier beast emperor, but no matter how strong this dragon-borne was, Qin Feng was on an entirely different level.

    Upon impact, its stomach concaved and the organs inside were crushed by Qin Feng¡¯s attack!

    His opponent curled up like a shrimp would and Qin Feng delivered another swift punch, this time directed toward its heart!

    Crash!

    It was as if a giant hammer had just mmed into its weak point.

    Blood gushed from the dragon-borne¡¯s mouth as its heart was smashed into paste, its eyes starting to lose their glow.

    Three strikes. It only took Qin Feng three strikes to take down the dragon-borne!

    Its overconfidence had turned into its downfall within a matter of minutes.

    The others that saw this scene quickly fled the area, none of them decided to try and fight Qin Feng anymore.

    The dead dragon-borne quickly began to dissolve, its body, the energy within and the cosmetic clothing it had on all began to fade away. The only thing that remained was its equipment.

    Qin Feng collected the items before continuing on his way.

    As he continued to loot, he encountered another batch of challengers. Not all of them were trying to fight Qin Feng and those who tried to kill him were killed in return.

    ¡°There¡¯s a lot of treasures in here. The kind that even the prodigies would want!¡± All Qin Feng had to do was move a few meters ahead and he would find things floating around, being pocketed by prodigies left and right.

    After an hour¡¯s time, the things within the Behemoth began to lessen and the numerous prodigies began to gather.

    This was the Shade Behemoth¡¯s central core.

    By now, there were tens of thousands of prodigies all gathered around the area.

    As Qin Feng saw the amount of powerful prodigies around him, his eyes widened.

    They were prodigies from all manner of ces, people that Qin Feng would have never even imagined meeting before his rebirth.

    They were all gathered here because of one thing.

    The Soul Tribe¡¯s most powerful God Weapon, the Sacred Armor.

    A countless number of rune equipment floated around the Sacred Armor like the rings of a. The sheer amount of spatial rune equipment that flowed through the area shone with a silver light, making it resemble a small gxy.

    It was just that there were too many people around the Sacred Armor!

    Up, down, left, right. They were everywhere!

    The people surrounding the armor were staring intently at it but nobody made a move.

    Suddenly, a consciousness transferred a chilling voice that boomed with malice.

    ¡°Mung, test the Sacred Armor¡¯s power for me!¡±

    Everyone looked to where the transmission hade from and saw a prodigy of an unidentifiable tribe grab someone else and throw them toward the Sacred Armor.

    ¡°Wait! Nooo!¡±

 Chapter 554 - The Top Prodigiesâ€™ Plot

    <h4>Chapter 554: The Top Prodigies¡¯ Plot</h4>

    Qin Feng realized something when he witnessed this sudden turn of events.

    That person was violently shoved forward with enough force that they would cough out a mouthful of blood. Even if they tried to escape, it was already toote. They were being dragged in by a strange attracting force around the Sacred Armor.

    The Sacred Armor then turned into a silver liquid and wrapped itself around this person¡¯s body.

    Soon their body began to glow with the Sacred Armor¡¯s light.

    ¡°Aaaieee!¡±

    The person started to wail as if they were experiencing excruciating pain.

    Qin Feng naturally knew why that was happening!

    He felt pain when he put on the Sacred Gauntlets before, it was due to the energy perfusing* into his body. No matter how talented a prodigy was, the body¡¯s cells would still have their limits.

    It was like pouring water into a balloon, but the result of the continuous pouring would only end with an explosion.

    Sure enough, the prodigy trapped by the armor only remained alive for five more seconds before exploding!

    A bloody mist appeared around the Sacred Armor before it was dissolved by the energy surrounding them. Armor and spatial rune equipment that used to belong to the prodigy flew out before they were added to the circle of loot that spiraled around the Sacred Armor.

    The other prodigies gasped out loud.

    They did not expect something like that to happen.

    The Sacred Armor was too powerful.

    Qin Feng believed that once something like that happened, none of the other prodigies would even dare try to approach the armor. It would soon be clear to him that he had underestimated them.

    That or perhaps it was the prodigies who were the ones underestimating.

    ¡°Go, my thralls! Drain the Sacred Armor of its energy and when it runs out it will be mine!¡±

    Once themand rang out, a person with ssy eyes and a dazed look immediatelyunched themselves toward the Sacred Armor.

    Qin Feng turned his head to the direction of themand.

    It was a Wraith Devil, a C4-tier.

    ¡°Khui!¡±

    That was the Wraith Devil¡¯s name.

    There were about three hundred people gathered around him. These people might have been normal before but their eyes were now entirely pitch ck. It was obvious that they were all possessed by the Wraith Devil.

    Of course, this kind of possession was different from the Wraith Devil that Qin Feng had fought before. A high-level Wraith Devil could separate its soul and take possession of multiple bodies at once!

    The act of taking control of three hundred people at once was really shocking!

    Such power!

    Khui sent someone forward and plunged them into the Sacred Armor. This person was not very strong but he did not feel pain. They might as well have turned into a corpse the moment they were possessed.

    It took only three seconds before they exploded and turned to ash. Their equipment proceeded to join the circle of loot.

    However, Khui did not continue. It only sneered and spoke through consciousness.

    ¡°So, are you all going to just watch? If only I put in all the effort and then wouldn¡¯t it be bad if someone elsees in to scoop up my prize?¡±

    Qin Feng frowned. He had not expected any of this to happen. It seemed like there were things he was unaware of.

    At this time, another voice came.

    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll go next!¡±

    A being wrapped in ck robes pointed its finger at another person nearby, causing their eyes to roll into the back of their head before descending toward the Sacred Armor.

    Qin Feng was taken aback when he saw that this being actually had a pair of bony hands.

    Not only that, they were clearly another dark ability user.

    ¡°Bonewraith Tribe!¡±

    They were a special tribe who was well known for their proficiency in casting abilities.

    The person they sent ahead only managed tost for six seconds before dying.

    Suddenly, the ones who had the power to decide the life and death of the prodigies around them began to show themselves, using all kinds of strange methods to send fodder toward the Sacred Armor.

    What surprised Qin Feng was that even Bai Yu was smiling, her consciousness transmitting the words:

    ¡°Are you all willing to walk through the fire for me?¡±

    The people in her team were shocked by what was happening but the moment they heard her voice they had an abrupt shift in thought. Their eyes burned with a fanatic fervor and felt as if nothing could go wrong.

    ¡°Of course!¡±

    ¡°For you, I¡¯d be willing to die!¡±

    ¡°You saved my life, so now it¡¯s yours to take!¡±

    Bai Yu let out a loudugh, her consciousness¡¯ voice no longer holding a gentle tone as she pointed at the Sacred Armor.

    ¡°Then go!¡±

    A figure suddenly plunged into the Sacred Armor and the scene repeated.

    At this moment, Bai Li took the opportunity to reappear next to Qin Feng when nobody was paying attention to her. She saw Qin Feng¡¯s stunned expression and said, ¡°Those people were saved by Bai Yu¡¯s light runes. The runes remain inside their bodies, changing their emotions and making them trust that woman wholeheartedly in an instant!¡±

    ¡°So, they have an ability to charm people?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    The light ability had many more uses than initially thought.

    ¡°Yup. In the other nes, this is called the Divine Word. Those who are considered enemies by the user would be purified and destroyed by the Divine Word, while those considered as friends would be healed by it! It¡¯s all up to how the ability user uses it. That being said, it¡¯s an A-tier ability!¡±

    ¡°Looks like everyone¡¯s been hiding their aces!¡±

    As Qin Feng considered the situation, the other prodigies all began to back off. After all, these prodigies seemed to have made preparations.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li also started to pull back. Who knows when these people would turn their attention to them.

    The other prodigies of the other tribes began to transmit their consciousness.

    ¡°Curses! These people were nning this!¡±

    ¡°Does that mean they¡¯re going to get the Sacred Armor this time?¡±

    ¡°These preparations seem solid. It might work this time!¡±

    ¡°Uneptable, the Sacred Armor¡¯s going to be gone just like that?¡±

    ¡°No, just you wait. I will be the one who wins!¡±

    Just how many people think so?

    Qin Feng knew that although they were using this method, the Sacred Armor was so powerful that nobody would be able to withstand it. However, the moment the method bore fruit, the prodigies who were not in this n to begin with would start rushing toward their supposed prize.

    ¡°This ispletely different from what I had thought!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up.

    He did not want the Sacred Armor, all he wanted was the energy stored inside it.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know how much power the Sacred Armor can generate, if it could let one person take on ten thousand.¡±

    As he thought about it, he made up his mind.

    Rather than let people exhaust the energy, why not he go in first? It was an extremely risky move but Qin Feng knew that if he could control the energy inside the Sacred Armor, his strength was destined to soar.

    The physical power of a C3-tier was not enough. It was not enough!

    He had to get stronger!

    In the next moment, Qin Feng let go of Bai Li¡¯s hand and charged toward the direction of the Sacred Armor.

    By then, another prodigy would have exploded from contact with the Armor!

    Qin Feng took advantage of the split second where nobody was being sent forward and rushed over.

    All seven of those prodigies, those who were part of this body snatching plot, were all shocked by what was happening.

    Trantor¡¯s Note: Perfusing/Perfusion is the process of fluid passing through the circtory system. (Yikes

 Chapter 555 - Bottomless Dantian

    <h4>Chapter 555: Bottomless Dantian</h4>

    ¡°It¡¯s Qin Feng! What is he thinking?¡± Bai Yu was shocked.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it a little too early to snatch the Sacred Armor?¡± Kui sneered and said.

    He, too, believed Qin Feng would notst long.

    They were not at all worried about another person getting into the mix. The n was set into motion as soon as they stepped into this ce. These prodigies were the best of the best and hade here numerous times. They had thought of such a n after numerous failures and this was their best bet to obtain the Sacred Armor. They were not nning to return empty-handed this time.

    The releasing of internal power had be extremely difficult inside this ce. They were having a hard time controlling other prodigies at the moment. But when they thought about the potential reward, they gritted and persevered.

    They were doing this for the ultimate prize¡ªthe Sacred Armor.

    But they could not im it just yet. The Sacred Armor was still too powerful and would assimte them instantly.

    A lot of prodigies hade here in previous years trying tond a hand on the trophy. But now, everyone was backing off as they did not wish to be used by the top-tier prodigies as cannon fodders.

    Qin Feng was just a small wrinkle in their grand n.

    But soon, they realized it was not as simple as they thought.

    ¡°It¡¯s already more than ten seconds!¡±

    ¡°Why is he not dead yet?¡±

    ¡°Fifteen seconds!¡±

    The person inside the Sacred Armor was unusually tranquil. He did not move and did not shriek like those before him. The counting had gone beyond twenty seconds.

    ¡°How is that possible?!¡± The top-tier prodigies were bbergasted.

    Qin Feng, who was being surrounded by the Sacred Armor, was actually in deep pain.

    Nevertheless, he was prepared for it this time so it was not as torturing as the one with the Lesser Sacred Armor.

    Ability¡ªAbsorb!

    In his consciousness, Qin Feng¡¯s Diamond Starglobe spun frantically to absorb the colossal energying in from the Sacred Armor.

    ¡®This is ten times scarier than the Lesser Sacred Armor!¡¯

    Qin Feng was shocked too. But his face was masked by the helm so the others were unable to see his terrified expression.

    Qin Feng could feel that his physique that had been strengthened a few folds over could no longer sustain the massive energy of the Sacred Armor, even after the energy had been tamed by his absorb ability.

    ¡®This won¡¯tst!¡¯

    Qin Feng directed the energy out from the Starglobe to strengthen his consciousness.

    His conscious realm vibrated vigorously and its power expanded continuously.

    Vast energy was required for his emperor-tier consciousness to grow. But after being perfused continuously by the Sacred Armor¡¯s seemingly endless energy flow, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness evolved instantaneously.

    He attained C5-tier consciousness in only thirty seconds.

    Those puppets from before had experienced numerous thirty seconds and did not deplete much of the Sacred Armor¡¯s energy. The force continued to pour into Qin Feng.

    ¡®It¡¯s still not enough. My assimtion is too slow aspared to the influx of energy. My body is going to explode if this goes on.¡¯

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression was contorted but his mind functioned rapidly to look for a solution. He needed to get himself out of this.

    Luckily, other than his physique and consciousness, there was anotherpartment where he could store the energy.

    ¡®This way!¡¯ A stream of excess energy flowed down his body, entering arge meridian that entered straight into his dantian.

    He could turn this energy into his internal power.

    Ever since he obtained the gaea crystals, Qin Feng¡¯s dantian had erged by ten times its original size. It now had enough space to amodate a huge number of force pools.

    After he arrived at Beihua, other than absorbing the internal force of Guang Wei when he killed him, Qin Feng¡¯s internal power had been growing steadily based on the self-recycling of Asteroid Assimtion.

    At the moment, he possessed 37 pools of internal power.

    It wasparable to the internal force of a B3-tier aptitude user.

    ¡®Let me see whether you can fill my dantian then!¡¯ Qin Feng was spirited.

    Qin Feng had never thought that such a day woulde when he first got the gaea crystals. He wondered whether his dantian could amodate the energy from the Sacred Armor.

    ¡®I would very much like to see whether my dantian is deeper, or your energy stronger?¡¯

    Dong!

    The first flux entered his dantian and immediately formed an energy pool.

    No. 38! 39! 40!

    A pool had formed in a matter of seconds. But Qin Feng¡¯s dantian was like a bottomless pit.

    One second after another, Qin Feng had been wearing the Sacred Armor for more than a minute now.

    Those conspirators controlling other prodigies in the dark as well as other intelligent species that were hiding far were stunned by what they were witnessing.

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible. He is still holding on after a minute!¡±

    ¡°How could a mere human sustain the energy flux from the Sacred Armor? It gets stronger over the years and is probably way beyond the endurance of a C-tier by now!¡±

    ¡°He is still going on. One minute and a half already!¡±

    ¡°Two minutes!!¡±

    Everyone was dazzled as they fixed their sights on the middle spot of the Sacred Armor. The vibrating armor proved that the person in it was still alive.

    Three minutes!

    Four minutes!

    Five minutes!

    The time passed quietly. Qin Feng was like the only person left in there. Everyone else was just watching in awe and did not make a sound, as if they had forgotten to breathe.

    It had simply taken too long.

    Nobody knew when the energy from the Sacred Armor would be bottomed out. Some were hoping that the person inside the armor would burst because of the gargantuan energy.

    But nothing changed.

    If he could withstand one minute, perhaps he could stay inside for another ten minutes.

    ¡°It still hasn¡¯t burst!¡± Restlessness began to creep in among the conspirators. ¡°Will he take ownership of the Sacred Armor if this goes on!?¡±

    ¡°Easy! Even if he obtains the Sacred Armor, we will just kill him and rob it from him then.¡±

    ¡°As if it will be that easy. Have you forgotten about the previous battle? It¡¯s a disaster with so many prodigies around. We wouldn¡¯t know who is going to sneak in and steal the armor away!¡±

    They did search for the Lesser Sacred Armor after the fight from before but because it was too chaotic, they could not find the culprit in the end. Any prodigy on the scene with a piece of decent spatial equipment could have easily snuck it out and hid it.

    ¡°Besides, do you really think we can defeat the owner of the Sacred Armor easily?¡± The others realized the severity of the matter after receiving this message through consciousness. It was their n to deplete the energy of the Sacred Armor through sacrifices. They certainly did not wish to see someone im the ultimate prize right under their nose.

    ¡°Then we have to do it now! Kill him!¡±

    Bai Yu¡¯s killing intent blew off the chart.

    ¡°Charge!!¡± Her followers rushed out promptly in response to the order.

 Chapter 556 - Claiming the Sacred Armor

    <h4>Chapter 556: iming the Sacred Armor</h4>

    This was when a gorgeousdy appeared in front of them withser rays bursting out from her palm.

    Blitz!

    Theser instantly reduced the frontline prodigies into ashes.

    A cruel expression could be seen on Bai Li¡¯s perfect face.

    ¡°Whoever gets near, dies!¡± Her aura as a C6-tier beast emperor exploded to deter those who wished to harm Qin Feng.

    ¡°What the hell!?¡± Bai Li¡¯s strength outssed everyone, including those from foreign dimensions, there.

    It was extremely difficult to level up once you enter the C-tier. Bai Li must be below twenty years old if she was allowed in here.

    This time, Bai Li did not try to hide her aura. This allowed others to finally realize that she was not just another intelligent species.

    ¡®She is actually a beast that has taken the human form!¡¯

    A mutant beast would need to amass energy throughout numerous ages to be such a terrifying existence like her.

    ¡°She, she is... a human-form beast! The only way she could be in here is through contracting to a human. This means...¡±

    They looked toward the Sacred Armor and immediately understood.

    ¡°This is Qin Feng¡¯s contracted beast!¡±

    Bai Yu got even more hysterical. Earlier, she could still tolerate Qin Feng for rejecting her offer. But right now, he had tantly meddled with her n.

    ¡°It¡¯s just a mutated beast. Which one of us here is not a certified fighter that could single-handedly handle a beast? Why should we be afraid of a single beast?¡±

    ¡°Kill her!¡± Kui ordered with little hesitation. Prodigies under his control lunged simultaneously toward Bai Li.

    Once again, the puppet troop was turned into ashes by the Lesser Sacred Gauntlet in Bai Li¡¯s hand.

    The conspirators took notice instantly.

    ¡°It¡¯s the Lesser Sacred Armor, the gauntlet!¡±

    ¡°She is the one that had taken it!¡±

    ¡°A Sacred Armor is difficult to tame but the Lesser Gauntlet is right in front of us! What are we waiting for?¡±

    ¡°The Lesser Sacred Armor is mine!¡±

    All the prodigies were drooling over the suddenly revealed gauntlet.

    Prodigies from other tribes that were wary of the conspiratorspletely lost it when they saw the gauntlet. They threw away their cautiousness and rushed toward Bai Li aggressively.

    Bai Li was quickly being surrounded.

    Theyunched all sorts of martial arts and abilities toward Bai Li.

    Blurry lights and ample runes meshed into a chaotic muddle that shrunk toward Bai Li.

    ¡®Child¡¯s y!¡¯

    Bai Li ripped apart space and appeared on the other side instantly.

    The numerous attacks from the prodigies missed the target entirely and hit on assaultersing from the opposite end of the circle.

    Bai Li retreated safely while the attackers had a taste of their own medicine. In face of iing attacks, all the prodigies unleashed their strongest counter with no scruples.

    Kill, or be killed! Everyone cared about only one thing¡ªthe Lesser Sacred Armor!

    The seven to eight persons in the dark who controlled the other prodigies could no longer sit back and do nothing.

    A mysterious shadow appeared abruptly behind Bai Li as soon as she came out from her teleportation portal.

    ¡°What a beautiful body. It¡¯s mine now!¡±

    The Wraith Devil emitting strong conscious power attempted to engulf Bai Li¡¯s soul.

    Bai Li suddenly turned her head around. There was a mysterious glimmer within her silver irises.

    The glimmer sted and hurt Kui. His clone shrieked and popped, leaving behind a trace of ck smoke.

    Two hundred meters away, the real Kui groaned as his soul felt the impact.

    He did not expect his clone to be destroyed by Bai Li so easily.

    ¡°What kind of beast is this? How could she be so strong?¡±

    However, thanks to Kui¡¯s attack, the others once again locked on to Bai Li.

    ¡®I need to hold them back!¡¯ Bai Li was very anxious. She had no idea what happened to Qin Feng. All she could do now was buy him more time.

    It was endless hunting, escaping, and hunting again.

    Bai Li¡¯s pretty face had been tainted with blood. Her silver eyes had seemingly turned red too.

    After the massacre, even the blood scent began to seep into her bones.

    This was when an unusual activity urred in the center of the Shade.

    The horrifying energy that emanated from the Sacred Armor from earlier had disappearedpletely!

    Not only that but the surrounding structure began to copse after the vast energy vanished. The energy from the water wave instantly evaporated.

    The humongous Shade began to bubble and slowly disintegrate.

    More so, the star ring formed by aggregated runes had lost its holding power and began to disperse randomly.

    The sudden change stunned everyone, which then exploded into amotion.

    ¡°The Sacred Armor has been tamed!¡±

    Yes, the Sacred Armor had been tamed by Qin Feng.

    Fifteen minutes, nine hundred secondster, Qin Feng finally absorbed all the power held within the Sacred Armor.

    It was terrific!

    Qin Feng examined himself and realized his physique had reached C4-tier, his consciousness C5-tier, not to mention his internal strength.

    He estimated it to be 987-foldrger than an ordinary C-tier ancient warrior¡¯s now.

    Qin Feng¡¯s dantian was now bloated with internal power. He couldpress it anytime now into a pool of internal power like that of a B-tier, or directly breakthrough into A-tier by further refining and expanding the pool into a sea of power. He had only used one and a half years to reach the same height he once was in the past life.

    He now possessed formidable power.

    Qin Feng opened his eyes and saw that more than a hundred prodigies were cornering Bai Li.

    ¡°Bai Li,e to me.¡± Qin Feng¡¯s call rang in Bai Li¡¯s mind.

    ¡°A second!¡± Bai Li replied and disappeared in a band of silver light.

    Those prodigies had gotten used to Bai Li¡¯s sudden disappearance after fighting her for ten minutes. They did not panic after she vanished. Instead, they calmly traced her relocation.

    However, in the next moment, a horrifying aura leaked out from inside the Sacred Armor.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and apressed energy beam began to gather on his palm. It was the size of a ping pong ball at first but grewrger andrger.

    One meter, two meters, ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters!

    In the end, its diameter expanded up to fifty meters in less than a second.

    The giant energy ball was then ejected right at the spot where Bai Li wasst seen.

    It was where most prodigies that had attacked Bai Li earlier were still at.

 Chapter 557 - Exterminating Top-tier Prodigies

    <h4>Chapter 557: Exterminating Top-tier Prodigies</h4>

    Blitz! Blitz! Blitz!

    The re sustained for several seconds, then it shrunk and dissipated gradually. The prodigies that were crowding the area earlier had been wiped clean.

    Other prodigies from various tribes that were still alive were overwhelmed by the brutal carnage.

    One skill was all he needed to bring down a hundred men within seconds.

    The potency of the Sacred Armor was suffocating.

    ¡°Die!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was overflowing with killing intent.

    He might have exterminated a few hundreds of them but more prodigies wereing.

    Their powers were recovering after the Shades began to copse. The water wave surrounding them that had been restricting them gradually evaporated, releasing them from the chain.

    ¡°Kill him and get the Sacred Armor!¡±

    ¡°The Sacred Armor will be mine!¡±

    ¡°Even if we are not getting the Sacred Armor, the spatial runes in there were left behind by past generations of prodigies. We must get those back!¡±

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    A muddled fight was imminent.

    Bai Li was being domineering again after seeing that Qin Feng was fine and no longer needed her protection.

    ¡°Scram! These are all mine!¡±

    Bai Li raised her hand and called out a spatial rift. It swallowed up those spatial rune devices plunging to the ground.

    Spatial rune devices were ipatible with each other, meaning that it was impossible to store a piece of rune equipment in another piece of equipment. But Bai Li¡¯s storage space was nothing like spatial rune equipment. It was more like a secret territory.

    Just as how the Battlegod Tomb could amodate other spatial rune equipment.

    Therge rift captured almost 80% spatial rune equipment. The remaining equipment scattered around and engrossed prodigies from all tribes.

    Nheless, prodigies that had no interest in the constion prizes were lunging at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not have Bai Li¡¯s instant teleportation. In just an instance, Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield was pounded by hundreds of assaults.

    That was not the end of it. More powerful prodigies were still rushing in from behind.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield broke for the first time ever since he became C-tier.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Qin Feng was flooded by another round of bombardments.

    However, when the abilitiesnded on Qin Feng, or more precisely, on the Sacred Armor, they did not harm Qin Feng at all. All the attacks only budged the armor slightly.

    The defense of the Sacred Armor was off the chart.

    Nevertheless, although the Sacred Armor could block off all the attacks, Qin Feng could still feel the aftershock of the impact. He felt squeezed and blood seemed to gush out from his throat.

    Though the Sacred Armor might be tough, it was not invincible.

    The real threat finally reached in front of Qin Feng. These powerful prodigies released their deadliest attack aiming at Qin Feng¡¯s head and heart.

    Luckily, there was only so much space around Qin Feng. No matter how many had gathered around him, only a few at the front-most could have touched him.

    Qin Fengughed out loud.

    ¡°Suit me!¡±

    Qin Feng was called a lunatic in his previous life. That was because he was exactly one that had no fear, not even in the face of death.

    He did not even need his Verdant Emperor Saber. The gauntlet of the Sacred Armor generated forces on the fly.

    One of the closest prodigies attacked Qin Feng with the weapon in his hand. It did not shake Qin Feng in the slightest. Qin Feng¡¯s fist grewrger andrger in his eyes.

    Boom!

    The head of the prodigy from a foreign tribe exploded following the punch. Blood spurted out from his beheaded neck.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability operated immediately and turned the energy of the deceased prodigy into his own. It was as if fresh blood was being injected into Qin Feng to repair his battered body.

    He killed a prodigy topletely offset the damage done by hundreds of prodigies.

    The assaulters were not deterred when they saw Qin Feng retaliate. They kept up with the attacks with little hesitation.

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    ¡°Kill! Kill! Kill!¡±

    They were shouting. They were bellowing. Everyone had gone hysterical.

    Qin Feng¡¯s back was stabbed by numerous sharp weapons. He did not reconstruct his internal force shield but instead tightened his shoulders. The small movement generated enough vibration from the Sacred Armor to push off those on his back.

    Qin Feng then moved extremely fast, faster than the eyes could follow. All the others could only glimpse a white sh.

    Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!

    One after another prodigy¡¯s head exploded.

    ¡°Who are you guys killing?¡± Qin Fengughed deviously. ¡°Keep iting!¡±

    His enemies were prodigiesing from different kinds of dimensions.

    Some might have invaded Qin Feng¡¯s world before while some might be looking down on humans from a different level.

    ¡®I am going to be an immortal, one that terrifies every living being in all these dimensions!¡¯

    Qin Feng looked fanatic. Under thaty utter confidence and egotism.

    If he could defy death and be reborn, then perhaps it was his destiny to defy the norm.

    Qin Feng killed on mercilessly.

    But the enemies were seemingly endless. They lunged at Qin Feng non-stop and the Sacred Armor had turned crimson due to the bloodstain.

    A horizontal kick from Qin Feng sent five prodigies flying. Another hand-chop burst the head of another unknown prodigy.

    One kill, two kills!

    Ten kills, a hundred kills!

    A thousand kills! Two thousand kills!

    Qin Feng used neither his Verdant Emperor Saber nor any spectacr art. He danced around the enemies and killed at will solely based on his physical strength.

    The prodigies were growing obsessive, too. The more Qin Feng had killed, the more the Sacred Armor allured them.

    They did not believe this was Qin Feng¡¯s strength but rather the Sacred Armor.

    This was also the first time anyone was this close to getting the Sacred Armor.

    Many had tried and failed in years before. Everyone reckoned that the Sacred Armor must have surpassed any type of weapon or item.

    Whoever owned it would be instantly promoted to elite status.

    So the prodigies charged on relentlessly. They were blind to the risk of death. Those in front believed their skill would be the one that was going to end Qin Feng¡¯s life. Those at the back believed that Qin Feng was still alive because it was not their turn yet. As a result, nobody had given up on attacking yet.

    Due to space constraints, Qin Feng could deal with one batch of challengers after another instead of facing them all at once.

    Those conspirators from the start were the only ones calmly assessing the situation.

    ¡°Though it is ying out a little differently than we thought, the general oue is the same. We only need to kill that human. These other prodigies are useless! And they call themselves our equivalent?¡±

    ¡°Get the Sacred Armor and teleport out immediately. We can¡¯t afford to fail this mission.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s about time to intervene. They are probably thinking the same.¡±

    The conspirators finally revealed their fangs.

    ¡°The Sacred Armor has to be mine!¡± Bai Yu¡¯s mind was transfixed entirely on the absolute power she would achieve once she had the Sacred Armor. One after another light ball returned to her from those puppet prodigies she was controlling earlier. As the light balls fused back with her, her strength swelled exponentially.

 Chapter 558 - The Disappearance of Sacred Star, The End of Perished Land

    <h4>Chapter 558: The Disappearance of Sacred Star, The End of Perished Land</h4>

    In the blink of an eye, Bai Yu¡¯s tier had gone up to C5. A formidable aura radiated out from her body.

    She spread her wings, which had at least a ten-meter span and sprung at Qin Feng.

    Holy Words¡ªAnnihtion!

    A light pir descended from the sky and shone on Qin Feng. He immediately felt a burning pain.

    This was the first time an ability had sessfully hurt Qin Feng this far into the battle.

    Qin Feng noticed the caster through the light. He saw the same frantic expression on Bai Yu¡¯s face.

    ¡®You are underestimating me if you think that this can kill me.¡±

    Qin Feng sneered.

    These conspirators could really have obtained the Sacred Armor if Qin Feng did not intervene. Qin Feng had sustained the violent gush of energy from the Sacred Armor for fifteen minutes long. Even if a prodigy could onlyst for three seconds in there, they only needed to sacrifice about three hundred prodigies to tame the Sacred Armor.

    This calction was sound. But they had no idea what kind of monster Qin Feng had be after the fifteen minutes of energy influx.

    It was an insurmountable power that a sound mind could neverprehend.

    Qin Feng flipped his palm upward and a long fuchsia saber promptly appeared in his hand.

    ¡®Let me show you the gift this Sacred Armor has granted me!¡¯

    To Qin Feng, he benefited the most from the internal force the Sacred Armor had given him instead of its durability.

    He directed the internal force into the saber in his hand. The Verdant Emperor Saber was a God Weapon. It vibrated as energy was being infused into it as if it was groaning upon the sudden influx of energy.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Qin Feng shed with his saber. At that moment, the saber exploded into a fuchsia re that blinded everyone nearby.

    Driving by Qin Feng¡¯s internal force and the motion momentum, the fuchsia re shed through the air up to a hundred meters far.

    All living creatures within the fan-shaped area in front of Qin Feng were cut into half.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    Bai Yu¡¯s face was frozen. She looked down and saw a terrifying scene. Her lower body had been detached and was free-falling to the ground. Blood droplets could be seen floating up from the neatly cut cross-section.

    ¡°No!!!¡± Bai Yu shrieked in disbelief and plunged desperately. She soon caught up to her lower body and activated light-type ability.

    Her two halves reattached instantaneously.

    ¡®That¡¯s amazing! Celestials are no doubt an exceptional light-type tribe. No wonder they called themselves that. But could you sustain this?¡¯

    Qin Feng¡¯s saber once again erupted. This time, his stance was even more daunting than before. He brought the saber over his head and swung it downward.

    A fine line emerged vertically on Bai Yu¡¯s frozen face. The body could no longer ligate back. It broke into half and fell lifelessly to the ground.

    The top prodigy from the Celestial Tribe, who might have been the one to dominate the world in her future, had been mercilessly cut down by Qin Feng.

    She was not the only prodigy Qin Feng had destroyed. His eyes quickly scanned for his next target and soonnded on Kui!

    ¡®Die!¡¯

    Qin Feng generously drew out his enormous internal force.

    ¡°Blooming me!¡±

    The blooming fire melted Kui who wanted to approach Qin Feng. Even his soul was torched by the unforgiving sword re.

    No matter how strong Kui was, he was no match to Qin Feng that now owned the internal power of an A-tier.

    ¡®To hell, all of you!¡¯

    Qin Feng looked up and screeched to exert his dominance.

    ¡°Damn!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s absurd! Run!¡±

    ¡°He has been hiding his true power! We must leave now!¡±

    The assaulters finally realized Qin Feng¡¯s unreasonable strength.

    Qin Feng had been fighting them with bare hands earlier. They thought that his power was granted by the residual energy of the Sacred Armor. Once the energy was used up, Qin Feng would only be a turtle in a shell.

    They could not be more wrong. It was clear now that Qin Feng had been reserving his power and was only toying with them.

    ¡°Run!¡±

    ¡°Leave the Sacred Armor. The most important thing is to stay alive now!¡±

    ¡°Please, don¡¯t kill me, please!¡±

    The prodigies fled in panic with tails in between their legs.

    Qin Feng¡¯s main targets were those deviant conspirators that had been controlling other prodigies to achieve their own goal. These were the biggest threats to humans. He wished he could exterminate everyst one of them.

    If the dragon-borne knew that he was a pure-blood human, then there was no reason to believe that these people were not aware.

    What if they tried to locate his dimension? What kind of cmity would they stir on earth?

    Qin Feng was thirsty for blood. ¡°Bai Li, lock this dimension up. We can¡¯t let any of them leave.¡±

    Bai Li did not say another word and did as told.

    Abruptly, a silver dome appeared above the area and spanned about a thousand meters wide.

    This was the area covered by thergest Shade. All the prodigies had been gathered in here. Hence, none of them could leave now.

    Qin Fengughed maniacally andunched the final massacre.

    ***

    The Sacred Star was still hanging peacefully in the sky. In stark contrast, the ruins of the Soul Tribe were filled with bloodshed. A formidable conscious power kept throbbing inside the ruins.

    After a while, everything returned to quietness.

    After four hours of killing, not another living soul was seen in the center area besides Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Coincidentally, the Sacred Star that appeared abruptly in the sky began to shrink rapidly.

    As the star degenerated, a weird distortion began to disturb the dimension. Many might not understand what was happening but they clearly remember the warning,

    ¡°One must leave this ce before the Sacred Starpletely disappears. Otherwise, one would be trapped forever inside the Perished Land. More so, the body would deteriorate and one would gradually be turned into a Shade by thend.¡±

    Qin Feng was not informed but he had heard about it. Besides, there was nothing left to be done here.

    ¡°The dimension is closing up!¡± Bai Li warned. Regardless, she could still travel out freely even after the dimension had been locked down. She did not mind if Qin Feng wished to stay here to continue plundering the desertednd.

 Chapter 559 - Return to Dragon Capital

    <h4>Chapter 559: Return to Dragon Capital</h4>

    Qin Feng gave it a thought for two seconds and said, ¡°Transfigure now. We will be heading back.¡±

    The Perished Land would still open up in the future even after the Sacred Armor had been removed. This dimension would probably exist for a few more centuries.

    Qin Feng would need to report some of his findings here when he went back to Earth. One of the vital pieces of information was regarding the fifteen days¡¯ restriction. It would raise suspicion if he were to stay in this dimension longer than that.

    Besides, Qin Feng could sense that a new form of energy had urred as soon as the Sacred Star had dimmed. This infectious energy had Qin Feng worried about his body being corrupted if he were to stay any longer.

    ¡®No matter how powerful an individual was, it would not be able to overthrow the naturalw of a dimension. It¡¯s meaningless trying to challenge the inevitable.¡¯

    Qin Feng was looking poised. There was something different in him.

    He had clearly transcended after this battle. That included both physical and mental transformation.

    Qin Feng took off his Sacred Armor and put on a normal battle suit. With the mini-beast-form Bai Li in his arm, he activated the spatial waymark.

    ***

    Fifteen days had passed since the opening of Dragon Gate Tower.

    In the past fifteen days, the expectation at the beginning had gradually turned into doubt and finally settled as a disappointed sigh. Most believed that the extraordinary prodigy from the Northern Region had fallen into the unknown dimension.

    Even those who still held hope could not stay and wait indefinitely.

    This included Shang Han, who had been summoned on the sixth day. There was a breach in one of the spatial tunnels at the north and she was called to suppress the invasion.

    Thest elect that actually cared about Qin Feng was forced to leave the tower.

    In contrast, the insiders of the Fengli Organization remained confident about their leader.

    After all, Qin Feng had transferred a lot of spatial stones into the tomb just a couple of days ago. This proved that he was still very much alive.

    At the top of the Dragon Gate, the A-tier tower guardian was meditating cross-legged. He had reached a bottleneck and could only improve slowly through persistent training day after day. Thus it mattered very little where he trained himself. In fact, the quietness and natural essence of the Tower Gate provided him with an ideal training ground.

    Of course, this ce also allowed him to collect intel about prodigies with great potential. The Dragon Capital would not risk losing any prodigy.

    Suddenly, there was a disturbance in the spatial runes. The next moment, a spatial passage opened up in front of him.

    The tower guardian was first stunned, then immediately thought of something and waited excitedly.

    Just as he anticipated, a self-possessed teenager walked out through the portal.

    To be precise, he was still a juvenile at seventeen years old.

    He was none other than Qin Feng.

    ¡°It¡¯s you! You made it back! Great! That¡¯s a relief!¡± The tower guardian was obviously pleased seeing that Qin Feng had returned safely.

    Then, he was astonished when he realized the transformation in Qin Feng.

    C4-tier! Qin Feng was only a C2 when he first arrived at Dragon Capital. He had reached C3 here after absorbing the energy downpour from the rift. Now, he must have encountered a rare opportunity inside the unknown dimension, which propelled him into C4-tier.

    It was insane. This kid had evolved twice in the span of half a month.

    ¡®At this rate, he would certainly surpass me one day if he could stay alive.¡¯

    The tower guardian was envious of Qin Feng¡¯s limitless potential. Nheless, he was even more respectful of Qin Feng¡¯s possible height in the future.

    From this moment on, he viewed Qin Feng as an equal.

    ¡°I hope I didn¡¯t betray your trust.¡± Qin Feng said humbly.

    ¡°What are you talking about? You are probably the first prodigy that managed tost this long inside the dimension. I am eager to know what are the rewards you have brought back with you. I am representing my family to offer you an alliance!¡± The tower guardian tried to rope in Qin Feng at the first chance he had.

    Qin Feng had never participated in such apetition before but as a contestant brought in by Shang Han, he knew what was the appropriate thing to do. ¡°I have to ask Regent Shang¡¯s opinion on this. It would be disrespectful to make a decision without her consent.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s true.¡±

    ¡°Of course, I will report my experience there to the Human Alliance.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s great. The Human Alliance will reward you handsomely for your contribution. You will get what you deserve.¡±

    Rying the information to the Human Alliances was no different from reporting to Dragon Capital. In the end, the families in the Dragon Capital were the ones who would benefit the most from it.

    But it was still rather insignificant ifpared to the resources in Qin Feng¡¯s hand now. The tower guardian understood that he could not force Qin Feng if he did not wish to share his loot.

    The tower guardian guided Qin Feng to exit the Dragon Gate. Qin Feng realized he was being probed once he stepped out of the tower.

    He was not bothered and went straight to the hotel where Shang Han had booked a room for him earlier.

    Just as he nned to take a nap, hismunicator rang in untimely fashion. It was from Shang Han.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I can¡¯t believe that you are finally back! What took you so long? Anyway, I am d that you are fine!¡± Shang Han was jubnt. Qin Feng had been trapped inside the dimension for too long. She was worried the whole time.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you have confidence in me after seeing what I am capable of?¡±

    ¡°My bad. I should have trusted you more. But other prodigies normallye out after two to three days. It¡¯s hard not to doubt when you didn¡¯te back after so long.¡±

    ¡°So, it¡¯s my fault now?¡± Qin Feng asked rhetorically.

    Shang Han was in a good mood but she spoke solemnly, ¡°Qin Feng, your outrageous strength is the exact reason why I am so worried about you. The stronger you are, the tougher your enemies will be. Nothing is guaranteed. Not now, not in the future.¡±

    ¡°You are probably the standalone prodigy now. You certainly understand that the tallest sprout is also the easiest to break. If possible, I hope that you can stay low for now and spread your influence quietly. Wait patiently for a few years, then shock the world when you are truly ready.¡±

    Qin Feng understood Shang Han¡¯s concern but he could not care less about it.

    Shang Han was hoping that he could huddle up safely in a remote ce and emerge only after he had at least reached B-tier, if not A-tier.

    However, that went against the very fundamental of his method to strengthen himself. His Absorption Ability required powerful opponents to fulfill its potential.

    Besides, there was no reason for him to stay low.

    Shang Han had no idea about the enormous benefits he had gained in this journey.

    Qin Feng was extremely close to B-tier now!

 Chapter 560 - Arduous and Thankless Task

    <h4>Chapter 560: Arduous and Thankless Task</h4>

    Qin Feng remained calm and there were not any major changes in his facial expression.

    ¡°Regent Shang, if that¡¯s what you are thinking, I might have to disappoint you!¡±

    ¡°I knew it!¡± Shang Han was not surprised by the answer at all!

    Qin Feng did not go on further on the topic and shifted the focus to something else. ¡°From my encounter, I have obtained some new technologies from other regions, however, with my current capability, I do not have extra manpower resources to analyze such items, hence, I am proposing a cooperation with you, Regent Shang!¡±

    Certainly, Shang Han was extremely delighted, Qin Feng¡¯s news was her exact expectation.

    Of course,pared to the others, it was a partnership with Qin Feng and not a trade, and it was a special treatment only for Qin Feng.

    It was because of Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities and his status of being a powerful figure.

    However, Shang Han still added on, ¡°For the long amount of time that you have spent in the region, you must have obtained a huge number of items, if any influential parties from the Dragon Capital were to offer you an opportunity for cooperation, you should also engage in discussion with them!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and indicated his acknowledgement.

    Both of them exchanged some other information before the call was ended.

    Then, hasty footsteps were heard from the outside of Qin Feng¡¯s door.

    As expected, Qin Feng was then alerted by knockings from the door.

    Bai Li reached out to the door and it was Zhou Hao and Jin Fei.

    ¡°Little Feng! You are safe!¡± Zhou Hao was relieved to find out that Qin Feng was safe, however, he then acted in an unusual manner and eximed in exaggeration, ¡°You have advanced to a new tier now!¡±

    Qin Feng patted on Zhou Hao¡¯s shoulder and answered, ¡°You are doing quite well too, surprisingly, you are a D1-tier now!¡±

    To advance a tier higher to be D-tier within half a month was definitely an impressive speed of advancement!

    ¡°Jin Fei is doing quite well too!¡±

    Qin Feng took a look at Jin Fei who was standing beside him, obviously, both of them had been notified by the news and rushed their way there!

    ¡°Chairman, such an unfortunate and disgraceful event!¡± Jin Fei expressed himself.

    Qin Fengughed, as it was the same brief response that he had given to the tower guardian of the Dragon Gate Tower! However, Qin Feng knew that Jin Fei meant what he had said, and it was his genuine appreciation toward his cultivation.

    Both of the youngsters were full of potential, and in the future, they would be the helpful assistants of Qin Feng.

    ¡°Good, very good!¡±

    After they had greeted each other with excitement, obviously, there were serious matters that they had to discusster. Zhou Hao briefed Qin Feng on the internal matters such as the instability among the members, aptitude users that were worried, and also the ancient warrior families that were itching to act.

    Although the recordings from the Prodigy Tournament werepiled and broadcasted to keep everyone informed that Qin Feng was the top-tier Hero ss, however, everyone was worried by Qin Feng¡¯s dyed return from his training within the unknown dimension.

    ¡°It was all because of the absence of a powerful figure to fill in the top post!¡± Qin Feng had already expected such a situation; therefore, he had been dedicating his effort to cultivate Zhou Hao and Jin Fei under him.

    Although Zheng Qian and Chen Xiang were C-tiers that were avable within the organization, they were the Fengli Mercenary members that were independent from the Fengli Organization, and Zheng Qian and the others had not been to Fengli City before.

    Overwhelming expansion would often cause unstructured and unsteady foundation.

    ¡°I will take care of theseter!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, since you are back, everything will be easily resolved!¡± Obviously, Zhou Hao felt much more relieved.

    ¡°Do not spread the news about my return first!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    As soon as the conversation with Zhou Hao, Jin Fei and the others had ended, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator was flooded with alerts. At a quick nce, Qin Feng knew that those influential figures from the Dragon Capital, Western, Eastern and Southern regions were contacting him via hismunicator.

    Some of them were even directly connected to hismunicator and he could barely cope with the sudden spike inmunications.

    Zhou Hao and Jin Fei noticed Qin Feng¡¯s unavability and excused themselves.

    Despite the hassle of entertaining everyone that had approached him, Qin Feng did not reject any of the powerful figures with their proposal for coboration. Being an elder himself, Qin Feng did not want to iste himself from the others, with his past years of experience before his rebirth, he was already honed with well-rounded skills to handle matters by himself.

    ¡°Elder Long, hmm, I know, but I have just returned, and I have yet to find out about those interesting items!¡±

    ¡°Oh? General Nangong, yes, if possible, you will definitely be in my list of coborating partners!¡±

    ¡°Exactly, I have yet to get any rest, alright, I will definitely keep you informed!¡±

    All of themunications were handled by Qin Feng in an organized manner, while some were handled by messages, and all of them were invited to a reception three dayster to discuss the distribution of the loot together.

    However, there were still some that did not appreciate it at all.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are still young and do not have much experience, I can help with the unorganized items, I do have quite some handy people that are specialized in armory, of course, I can also help with you with the valuation on the abilities and battle skills of yours!¡±

    Qin Feng scoffed deep down but retained his calm expression, and even the caller from the other end of themunicator was unable to notice any difference in his emotions.

    ¡°Well, that is so kind of you Lord Chu, however, I have already decided to hold a conference three dayster, so that it will be fair to everyone else!¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this a good solution for your problem? Why not take it? Perhaps, in another half an hour...¡±

    ¡°Ah, sorry about this, Lord Chu, I have anothermunicationing in, please wait for a while!¡±

    Qin Feng interrupted the conversation and immediately switched themunication and ended the call with Lord Chu. Without any doubt, he had then cklisted the caller in hismunicator.

    If the caller were to contact Qin Feng again, the call would constantly remain on hold.

    ¡°Do you really think I¡¯m a fool?¡±

    Qin Feng could not stop sneering at the lord of the second-tier family from the Dragon Capital, being an A5-tier himself, he was trying to achieve his wild schemes by scamming Qin Feng into it. Hence, it was reasonable for Qin Feng to react in such a rude way.

    It was merely a glorified way of asking Qin Feng to first contribute the items for his own benefits, and the items could even be taken away and kept hidden from Qin Feng.

    How could Qin Feng possibly allow such a scenario to happen?

    However, Qin Feng was not in a hurry at all as most of the major ns were already in contact with him, and those who intended to y out their tricks would have to keep an eye on the other ns.

    ¡°Interesting, even if I were to coborate with any of the ns, the focus of the oue will still be on the profits, and isn¡¯t that still a threat for me?¡±

    ¡°Even after the coboration, the annual bonus, resource sharing and utilization of technological advancements will still put me under a dangerous spot!¡±

    ¡°However, a one-off trade will discontinue my profitable rtions with the ns and those that did not manage to get anything would even suspect that I have retained some of the items for myself, and I might even be assassinated!¡±

    ¡°It will also be impossible for me to keep it all for myself.¡±

    ¡°Such a tricky situation!¡±

    However, it was obvious that Qin Feng did not care much about such a problem, he knew that Shang Han was on her way and she would arrive in three days, it was still early and the best option would be to first get enough rest and strengthen his capabilities!

 Chapter 561 - Butterfly Effect, Fengli Crisis

    <h4>Chapter 561: Butterfly Effect, Fengli Crisis</h4>

    When Qin Feng was still figuring out which project from the Dragon Capital research he should sell, and which technology should be retained, a deserted wilderness within the high mountains was connected to a Mirage Sanctuary.

    The sanctuary existed long ago, however, the organization that had owned it for two years was still unable to open it up.

    Finally, as an aircraft bombarded the outer barrier of the sanctuary with powerful energy light waves, the barrier exploded and was opened up!

    ¡°Great, it¡¯s open, finally open!¡±

    ¡°Damn, the money was well spent!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, the newly established Fengli Organization has already raked in the huge profit, wouldn¡¯t it be agitating if this attempt fails again?¡±

    ¡°Forget about that for now, hurry up and search inside, finally, there should be some precious items inside!¡±

    A group was discussing as they made their way into the sanctuary and searched for loot.

    There were two C-tiers, eight D-tier aptitude users, and more than fifty E-tier assistants that were present at the scene, and all of them had entered the sanctuary.

    It was a sixyer sanctuary, and the firstyer had to be opened by using pure energy, then, followed by internal strength, machinery energy, and the fourthyer had already been opened.

    All of those that had entered knew that the higher theyer, the better the items would be, and upon entering the thirdyer, they had already obtained technology-improvised battle armor that was suitable for the usage of E-tier aptitude users!

    The fourthyer would definitely be D-tier items, and they might even find C-tier, or B-tier items from the fifth and sixthyer!

    It was the same reason that had constantly drawn attention from the Red Sun Corp toward the ce, and they had even sent out C-tier aptitude users.

    ¡°Leader Tian, we didn¡¯t expect to find D-tier items here, and there are a lot of precious metals!¡±

    ¡°Energy cannon, advance armory?¡±

    ¡°Haha, so much, great, with these, the armory advancement of the Red Sun Corp will skyrocket!¡±

    The crowd quickly took action and gathered all of the advance armories as they were about to bring them back to discover the possibilities for production.

    However, both of the C-tiers obviously had no interest in the items, and they had quickly gone ahead to explore the nextyer.

    As soon as they had arrived at the nextyer, they were stunned by the barrier that required conscious energy in order to open, and both of them were ancient warriors.

    ¡°Hey, wait a minute, look at this shape!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with it?¡±

    ¡°This looks familiar with the Jade Cape that was ced at the center of the secondyer!¡±

    ¡°What? Tian Yan, are you sure about that?¡±

    ¡°How could I be wrong, think about it, take a look, surprisingly, that item is supposed to be the key for the fifthyer!¡±

    When the secondyer was first opened, the E-tier Jade Cape was ced at the center, and it was a tier higher than the other F-tier items, however, how would that prove its value? For the C-tier ancient warriors, it was a worthless item.

    Also, as they had to be there for a long period, putting on the bulky Jade Cape would only have little effect on their conscious energy regeneration, who would be that stupid to bring along an unnecessary green shell?

    It was indeed an unnecessary and low-priced item; hence, it was already sold to a low-tier aptitude user from another city.

    ¡°Wen Hai, it was handled by your people, quickly look for it!¡± Tian Yan seemed to be worried as it had already been a year, and it would most probably be very difficult to trace back to the trade, during such times, the death rate was too high, and if someone were to get killed somewhere else while equipped with the item, it would definitely be impossible to track it!

    The news had returned quickly as the investigation that went through everyyer waspleted in less than half a day, and they had managed to track down the Jade Cape.

    It was sold to Fu City where a procurement personnel had bought it with a cheap price for storage enhancement purposes. However, more than a year ago, it was traded to another person.

    ¡°Who¡¯s that person?¡±

    ¡°Leader, it was a person named Qin Feng, yes, the chairman of the Fengli Organization, and also the governor of the North Sea state!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡±

    Tian Yan and Wen Hai instantly knew who Qin Feng was.

    After all, the artillery that was used to open the fourthyer was bought from the Fengli Organization.

    The person rying the news continued, ¡°Also, from the news that we have gathered, Qin Feng has already achieved C-tier and it would be unnecessary for him to put on the Jade Cape, and we would expect him to award it to his people; hence, we had been performing our discreet inquiries at Fengli City and have even bribed a high level personnel. However, there is no news about Qin Feng awarding the Jade Cape to anyone, and it was also not found within the internal warehouse of the Fengli Organization!¡±

    At that moment, both of their eyes glittered.

    ¡°It must be the cape, Qin Feng must have found it, and it has allowed him to have such a tremendous spike in his capabilities!¡±

    ¡°Yes, must be it!¡±

    Both of them regretted their decision in selling that item at that time.

    ¡°Leader, listen to me, Qin Feng has recently participated in a Prodigy Tournament at the Dragon Capital and he is stuck within a secret territory, he would most probably not survive from it, and the internals of the Fengli Organization are controlling a smaller secret territory that has a warehouse that is only essible by genuine high-level personnel, perhaps...¡±

    Perhaps, it was within it!

    With that in mind, the eyes of Tian Yan and Wen Hai glittered again.

    The true capability of the Fengli Organization had solely relied on Qin Feng, and nobody else, without the presence of a formidable chairman, the others that were left within the newly-established and small-sized organization would definitely be unable to withstand any attacks!

    ¡°I¡¯ll go by myself, Wen Hai, you shall hear from me!¡± Yan Tian made a firm decision.

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Both of them were ancient warriors, Tian Yan had been practicing battle skills that were specialized in assassination, hence, Wen Hai was assured that Tian Yan would definitely seed in the operation!

    Little did Qin Feng know that his establishment of the Fengli Organization, and his mastering on the technology of the floating city had caused the Red Sun Corp to open up the sanctuary two years earlier, and it had then led them to himself.

    The so-called Jade Cape was actually the Godwill As!

    A crisis was about tond on the Fengli Organization that was already facing its trials and hardships!

    ***

    At the Dragon Capital, in a ten-level residential tower that was close to the clouds in the sky, the atmosphere was still filled with an abundant earth spirit aura. It was a perfect living environment, it would even allow an unawakened youth to be able to directly practice ancient warrior practices.

    A groundbreaking conference was being held within the most prestigious andvish hotel.

    Even at the Dragon Capital, it was extremely rare for a conference to be attended by a bunch of A-tiers.

    After all, the A-tiers were the top tier personnel of the hierarchy within the Dragon Capital.

    However, all of them were there, and it was all because of one person.

    It was because of Qin Feng.

    It had been three days since Qin Feng informed the Human Alliance of the Huaxia region about The Perished Lands, meanwhile, the Dragon Capital who had owned the Dragon Gate Tower for so many years was just informed about the actual news.

    The Prodigy Tournament that was participated by all tribes that had an entry barrier of C-tier, the rise of the Shades, the danger of nightfall, the Sage Stars and the fifteen-day restriction, all of them were precious intelligence for them.

    Meanwhile, the most awaited scene was about tomence.

    Qin Feng had invited all of them to witness his introduction on every item that he had obtained, and nobody would want to miss out on those precious items!

 Chapter 562 - Traitor

    <h4>Chapter 562: Traitor</h4>

    During the conference, Qin Feng stood and looked down from the front, it was attended by more than a hundred influences of varying sizes.

    Due to the massive size of the Dragon Capital, it was under the influence of at least nine elders, and one of them was a house lord.

    Hence, the distinctive trait of the Dragon Capital was its dense poption.

    ¡®Among these people, I will only target thirty coborations in the end, and some of them are totally unnecessary.¡¯

    Qin Feng sneered deep down, the short-sighted families were like hungry wolves that preyed on Qin Feng as they looked at him, in fact, as Qin Feng looked at them, he was totally unbothered.

    Qin Feng would not care about such families as they would soon be eliminated by the fast-pacedpetition within the Dragon Capital.

    ¡°From my recent exploration, I would like to present to you a total of one hundred and forty-eight advance technology parts, and about thirteen ability practicing skills that will be published for public practice, and I will be selling all of these items at the Human Alliance!¡±

    ¡°As for the hundreds of advanced technology items that vary in technological capability, I do hope all of you would gauge your own capability and act diligently!¡±

    The crowd below eximed, although they had expected Qin Feng to have obtained a lot of items, however, the actual number was way beyond their expectations.

    Qin Feng was not bothered by the discussion among the crowd and went on, ¡°I have already passed on three of them to Regent Shang, the remaining hundred and forty-five will be divided among the major families, at maximum, each would only get five and it would also depend on the research capability of the respective family.¡±

    ¡°Meanwhile, my rules are simple, contend with your own financial ability, I will not withdraw any of the amount as it will be used to fund your research projects and the post-production work. However, technologies from the research work will bemonly shared and I will get twenty percent of the profits, if any of you disagree, it would be better to not join in.¡±

    ¡°Of course, just to be clear and courteous with each other, the mutual development project willst for three years, throughout the years, if I were to die of unexpected reasons, every developed technology will be directly published to the Dark Coalition!¡±

    It was also dered as a threat.

    The crowd seemed to be worried by such an arrangement, and a family leader from a major family voiced out, ¡°Mister Qin, I¡¯m afraid your approach would be unfavorable for some!¡±

    What if some of the families that had failed in contending were to join forces with the Dark Coalition to take Qin Feng down, would that not be a secured win for them?

    Qin Feng remained calm and continued, ¡°Therefore, for those who are thinking of ying tricks, please be reminded of the widespread technology secrets that I have on hand!¡±

    With that, some were able to understand Qin Feng¡¯s intention.

    Being on the weaker side whenpared to the other major families, Qin Feng was not entitled to have such mutual technology sharing. However, on the other hand, he had huge potential and it was different from Ai Duo and the others.

    Also, he had gotten an important piece of information for the Dragon Capital, and it was equivalent to a huge contribution, at least, he should be able to enjoy the special award and treatment.

    Hence, Qin Feng had earned his stake to table out the terms with all of the influential parties.

    However, the shape of the future was still unpredictable.

    Undoubtedly, by securing the coboration with all major families, Qin Feng would be the final winner. Would it not be better for the ns to stop Qin Feng¡¯s growth by killing him and taking control of the technologies?

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s threat had precisely aimed onto their lifeline, he was unkible, or else, he would then transfer the technologies to the Dark Coalition.

    On the other hand, for those ns who could not get their hands on the technologies, they would have to consider if they were to kill Qin Feng, what sort of technologies would they get?

    Even if they were able to obtain it, the research on highly destructive skills would not seed immediately, could it take a year, two years, or three years toplete the research work?

    Capabilities of the Hero ss were usually immeasurable by normal terms, with Qin Feng¡¯s pace, he would only require half a year to achieve B-tier, hence, it would still be possible for a B-tier to go against an A-tier!

    By then, would it take an S-tier aptitude user to kill Qin Feng? First, such a person had to exist!

    All of a sudden, the crowd sank into mixed emotions as they looked at Qin Feng.

    It was a plot!

    The aim was to buy time!

    However, Qin Feng did not spare them any more time for consideration and showcased all hundred and forty-five technological parts, of course, all of those were handpicked by Qin Feng, they were useful, but not too useful.

    However, the prices varied ording to the sizes, with the disintegration that was already applied, it was impossible to pull any sly moves.

    Some of the capable families were already gauging on the five slots that they were allowed to take.

    ¡°From now on, auctioning for item number one!¡± The auctioneer that was hired by Qin Feng began with the first hammer.

    Despite the infighting and hidden torrential rush among the crowd, Qin Feng still had control over the situation.

    He stood at the backstage with his arms folded as he witnessed thepetition among the powerful figures of the Dragon Capital. However, he seemed to be unbothered by it.

    After all, he had been through every situation and would not be affected by such an insignificant matter!

    ***

    In Fengli City, Xue Xingfu had been worried for the past few days, actually, he should be able to get some good rest.

    ¡°Fortunately, these people are not informed, wait until the chairman is back, all of you shall pay for it!¡±

    The trade between Qin Feng and the families from the Dragon Capital was major news, however, it would never be discovered by the distanced and generally weaker states from the North Sea as they were intentionally blocked from essing such information.

    However, for the past few days, with his keen sense from being an unscrupulous businessman, he seemed to be perceiving the situation as the calm before the storm.

    ¡°Beep beep beep, unusual alert!¡± The sudden news instantly shocked Xue Xingfu as he sat up straight in his chair and looked at the screen.

    The system of the floating city was equipped with all sorts of functions that were unknown by the outsiders, for example, the function that was controlled by Xue Xingfu was a threat detection system that could scan through Fengli City to observe the life maic field of all lifeforms.

    The system would prompt its alert if there were death counts that exceeded the value of three within the timeframe of ten minutes, after all, under Qin Feng¡¯s management, Fengli City would rarely have any fight scenes.

    However, from Xue Xingfu¡¯s observation, the death count had already hit six within the timeframe of two minutes.

    Xue Xingfu immediately activated the surveince system and locked in on the view within Fengli City, it was at the official residence of Wang Chen, the Patrol General of the city.

    It was a scene under the nightfall where ughter was carried out by a shadow, Xue Xinfu was immediately infuriated and blood red veins were seen around his pupils.

    ¡°Traitor!!!¡±

    Xue Xinfu roared in anger!

    ***

    In a banquet hall, Qin Feng had underestimated the intricate rtions among the families of the Dragon Capital, and in the end, there were approximately forty-seven families that had entered into partnership with him.

    Of course, Qin Feng was quite delighted for the whopping twenty trillion that he had raked in.

    However, the numbers were still rather small and it was iparable with Qin Feng¡¯s previous profits.

    ¡°Thank you everyone foring today, and I do hope everyone will return with satisfaction!¡±

    Then, the dishes were being presented. However, some did not appreciate it and excused themselves with upset expressions, and some discourteous ones had even exited abruptly, just like House Lord Chu.

 Chapter 563 - The Red Sun Corp Attacks!

    <h4>Chapter 563: The Red Sun Corp Attacks!</h4>

    Of course, the forty-seven families that were working together with Qin Feng were also congratting Qin Feng.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator started vibrating. He quickly took a look at the message on it before pulling a long face.

    This was the first time Qin Feng showed his furious side like this. The people around him could feel a terrifying conscious energy pouring out of him.

    It was obvious Qin Feng was pissed!

    ¡°My apologies, everyone. I have something to attend to. Please, do enjoy yourself!¡±

    After excusing himself, Qin Feng walked out of the feast and called Bai Li. And then, in front of everyone, Qin Feng activated the spatial runes and teleported away!

    Qin Feng headed straight back to Fengli in one leap! He went back to Fengli without considering if he would offend any of those powerful people in Dragon Capital.

    The spatial runes were coordinated beforehand; it was not really a secret technique or anything so it was not a big deal in showing it in front of so many people. The runes¡¯ main purpose was to send Qin Feng straight back to Fengli in one jump.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng did not bring Bai Li with him because there was no need to. When Fengli was founded, the higher floors were designated as residential areas¡ªwhich meant it had the best defense system in the city.

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep!¡±

    Hismunicator started to beep.

    Qin Feng quickly epted the call.

    ¡°I¡¯m back. How¡¯s the situation?¡± Qin Feng tried his damndest to calm down on the call. It felt as though a tsunami was about to strike from his tone of voice.

    ¡°I¡¯m currently monitoring the situation. So far, there are no more casualties.¡±

    ¡°Good!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately hung up as dark runes enveloped his body and Bai Li, who had warped to Fengli on her own.

    Atop of his ceiling, Xue Xingfu was paying close attention to the monitor at the Control Center. Although he knew that Qin Feng was back, he did not waste any time to find him. Despite the immensely high-tech that the Floating City had, it still could not detect where Qin Feng was. Well, it was understandable. If the Floating City could detect him, it would not have been taken over by Qin Feng so quickly back then.

    Right now, he had something more important to do¡ªto find and lock onto the iing enemies so that he could fire away the city¡¯s weaponry when Qin Feng gave the order.

    He was paying extra care in searching for the enemies because he did not want to harm the friendlies.

    After merging with the shadows, Qin Feng moved swiftly. In no time, he had arrived at Wang Chen¡¯s home.

    This vi was quite huge. Naturally, there should be a lot of guards too. However, right now, the main entrance was littered with the guards¡¯ corpses. The ones who did this did not even bother to hide the bodies or erase the evidence, leaving the gate wide open.

    Qin Feng quickly rushed into the vi.

    Meanwhile, Wang Chen was suppressed on the floor. He was a capable gunner. Yet, he was pinned to the floor before he was able to flip out his guns.

    This was all possible because the foe was a C-tier aptitude user¡ªTian Yan from the Red Sun Corp!

    After travelling for several days, he had finally reached Fengli City. Having bribed some people on the inside, he was able to uncover some crucial intel. And from these intel, Tian Yan chose Wang Chen as his first target.

    Of course, the reason Wang Chen was targeted was all due to that certain someone who epted the bribe.

    ¡°Zhao Xiang, you son of a bitch! If it weren¡¯t for the president, you would have died at Han Town! And yet, you dare to betray Fengli City now?! So you think you can just betray us after gaining some power, huh? What an ungrateful mongrel!¡±

    Wang Chen cursed at the traitor loudly.

    Zhao Xiang was one of the youngsters who Qin Feng had brought with him from Han Town. At first, he was quite indecisive but still got rmended by Qin Feng to be a general of Fengli colony¡¯s outer defense army.

    Yet now, he had betrayed Qin Feng!

    It was not because he did not know just how much potential Qin Feng had¡ªhe was merely dissatisfied with his current position.

    ¡°Wang Chen, the hell are you talking about? When I first came to Fengli, I worked my ass off. I worked the hardest and yet got the least benefit. You got all the favourite treatment at the colony while I am risking my hide defending out there! Has anyone asked me how I feel about that?!¡±

    It took only one year for the lively young man to change.

    ¡°And now, after arriving at Fengli City, all of you have great reputation, position and wealth. As for me? I only get to be a lowlymander of a squad? I don¡¯t even get to be in any position with actual power and influence!¡±

    Zhao Xiang was quite mad at Fengli City. It took him a year to ascend to E3-tier from F-tier.

    Wang Chen knew Zhao Xiang was irrational, magnifying the minor issues. Now, every small problem was a huge one in Zhao Xiang¡¯s eyes.

    At first, Zhao Xiang was just an F-tier. He was quite weak. As such, after being rmended to be a general, he felt as though he had chosen a wise, good ruler. He always said to Wang Chen that he was thankful for his luck in meeting such a good ruler.

    However, right now Zhao Xiang treated all those ¡°benefits¡± as reasons for his betrayal.

    What a joke!

    ¡°You¡¯re an aptitude user. If you want more authority, just keep improving yourself and be more powerful. Now you¡¯re ming everyone for not giving you a good position despite being so weak?!¡±

    ¡°Bullsh*t! If I have the same talent as you, I would work hard too. Yet, I¡¯m not as gifted. Hard work pays? Pfft! Only fools would believe this!¡± Zhao Xiang roared out furiously at Wang Chen.

    It was true though.

    Aptitude users would be powerful only if they were born gifted. If not, all they could hope for was good luck and opportunities.

    The unlucky ones would not be able to climb higher no matter how hard they work. Hard work would only pay off if they were lucky enough to be on the right path.

    As such, not every hard worker had their efforts paid off.

    ¡°Then, you can scram! Open your stupid eyes and take a good look at me! Do I look like someone who¡¯s born with a talent? And yet, I¡¯ve climbed all the way here. If all you want to do isin, then you can scram! What a weakling! A coward! All you know is to enjoy life and nothing else!¡± Wang Chen bellowed at Zhao Xiang angrily.

    ¡°Oh, I will kill you! Do you think I don¡¯t have it in me to kill you?!¡±

    After seeing the two men exchanging heated words, Tian Yan had reached the limit of his patience.

    ¡°Shut the hell up!!¡±

    The sheer force of conscious energy of a C-tier ancient warrior overwhelmed the E-tier ancient warrior and D1-tier gunner in mere seconds. The pressure was so powerful that Wang Chen found it difficult to breathe.

    ¡°So, you¡¯re Wang Chen? I give you one chance to live. Give me the Battlegod Token and be my guide in the Battlegod Shrine. If you refuse, I¡¯ll kill you.¡±

    Zhao Xiang said, ¡°Mr Tian, this Wang Chen has a foul mouth. Let¡¯s just kill him and be done with it. If you want a guide, I have a better candidate. That little wh*re Liu Jing is the right one for the job. Or, if you want, we could even get Xue Xingfu. That little brat is the Vice-governor of the city!¡±

    Tian Yan frowned after hearing this. It was quite apparent that he too was annoyed by what Zhao Xiang had suggested. To him, killing someone was as easy as lifting a finger. However, if he could notplete his goal in a short time, this would trouble him a great deal.

    Right now, he came to Wang Chen not because he was the best person to be a guide in the Battlegod Shrine but because Zhao Xiang had a personal vendetta against Wang Chen.

    After realizing this, Tian Yan felt as though he was being used as a tool.

    ¡°Shut up!¡±

    Tian Yan scolded Zhao Xiang before facing Wang Chen again, this time with a much more powerful, forceful tone, ¡°If you don¡¯t want more people dying in your Fengli City, I suggest you do as I say. Don¡¯t y dumb with me. No tricks. No games. Stalling me will do you no good. And if you think your friends from the Floating City would attack me then you¡¯re wrong. I¡¯m standing right next to you right now. So, if they open fire, you¡¯ll die too.¡±

    An enraged expression crept onto Wang Chen¡¯s face.

    It was quite obvious now that this C-tier aptitude user knew the real reason behind him bantering with Zhao Xiang.

 Chapter 564 - A Change of Circumstances

    <h4>Chapter 564: A Change of Circumstances</h4>

    Wang Chen was indeed trying to stall for time. And he was not stalling for the Floating City.

    Tian Yan opened his mouth again, ¡°As for that governor of yours, don¡¯t you know this saying? Distant water cannot quench a fire nearby.¡±

    However, as soon as he finished saying those words...

    ¡°Are you sure about that?¡±

    This was not said by Wang Chen. Of course, this was not from Zhao Xiang¡¯s mouth too.

    It was someone else.

    Zhao Xiang felt a clench of despair after hearing that voice. His heart started to beat furiously as tremendous nausea started to overwhelm him. It felt as though he was falling straight into the bottomless abyss.

    He quickly raised his head to check his surroundings. However, he saw no one around him.

    ¡°Who is it?!¡± Tian Yan too was surprised.

    However, he could not sense anyone else nearby.

    If this was not caused by an illusion, then this could only mean that his foe had stronger abilities in stealth than him.

    As soon as he realized this, Tian Yan felt a shiver down his back as a swift palm approached him from behind.

    Tian Yan was shocked as he turned around.

    He saw an extremely young man inching closer with his palm, exerting extremely powerful force!

    Qin Feng was already behind Wang Chen in split seconds right after striking Tian Yan to the air.

    St!

    Tian Yan got sent straight to the vi¡¯s wall. The vi was constructed with special materials, thus it did not crumble after enduring such a powerful force. However, all the decorations and paintings on the walls fell to the floor.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    Tian Yan spitted out blood as he tried to stand up.

    Qin Feng only used one percent of his internal energy. However, it was enough to injure Tian Yan.

    ¡°So, how¡¯s the taste of that ¡®distant water¡¯, huh?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s voice floated into Tian Yan¡¯s ears, like a whisper from the devil.

    Struggling to stand still, Tian Yan tried to use his own internal energy to calm the boiling energies that were squalling in his organs. Cold sweat started to roll down on his forehead.

    ¡°Who... who are you?!¡± Tian Yan raised his head and asked.

    Qin Feng rolled an eye at him. ¡°Hey, I only struck your back. Not your head. Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯ve be a retard from that attack! Are you really sure you don¡¯t know who I am?¡±

    Tian Yan stared at Qin Feng¡¯s overly young face... and then, he understood something.

    ¡°Qin Feng! You¡¯re Qin Feng! But aren¡¯t you...¡±

    ¡°Dead? Or stuck at the unknown dimension? Heh...¡± Qin Feng did not continue on with his words. His smirk was clear as day and it was quite easily understood what the situation they had on hand was though.

    Perhaps trying to beg for forgiveness or scared so sh*tless that his legs felt weak, Zhao Xiang quickly kneeled on the floor.

    ¡°Boss... Boss! I¡¯m sorry. I beg for your forgiveness! Please. I¡¯ve done a lot for your organization, so please let me go! You have got to believe me. I was threatened by this man. I did not intend to betray you on purpose!¡± Zhao Xiang crawled to Qing Feng¡¯s feet and begged like a dog.

    However, Qin Feng did not seem moved by his words.

    He raised his Verdant Emperor Saber and swiped lightly across Zhao Xiang¡¯s neck.

    He did not waste time talking to him. Qin Feng did not even waste his energy to look at the traitor.

    If it were not for Qing Feng, Zhao Xiang would have died at Han Town. This guy had followed him and ascended to E3-tier in a year. Was that not enough for him?

    If he worked harder, there could still be room for his power to keep on growing. Other than that, if Qing Feng had gotten more powerful personally, financially and politically, his followers would still have benefited from it anyway!

    However, not many could remain firm and honest with their position. There would always be someone bing envious and jealous of another anyway.

    Zhao Xiang¡¯s face froze as his head fell off from his neck and onto the floor. There was no blood spilt though¡ªthe open wound was cauterized by the de¡¯s fire.

    After witnessing Qin Feng ying Zhao Xiang in the blink of an eye, Tian Yan¡¯s eyes shrank in astonishment.

    He did not even give his underling any chance to defend himself. This man must be someone who had a heart made of stone, one that would not waver under any circumstances. This man had no weaknesses!

    And that strike earlier... Tian Yan knew he could not win against Qin Feng. He was injured by a simple attack from him, there was no way for him to fight back now!

    ¡°Run... I must run!¡±

    Tian Yan turned and ran without hesitation.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s cold voice followed him like a ghost.

    ¡°Oh,e on now. You¡¯re running now? Isn¡¯t it a bitte to do that now? Besides... do you think you cane and go as you please in my turf?¡±

    The anger in Qin Feng¡¯s voice was very apparent.

    Qin Feng did not say anything when he killed Zhao Xiang. However, he was quite pissed.

    Even if Zhao Xiang was not satisfied with his position in Fengli, there was no way he would pull such a traitorous move if Tian Yan did not show up.

    A young man who followed him from the beginning was now being lured to betray him. This was not just an issue in regards to his governance. This was personal to him.

    And thus, it was unforgivable for him!

    He did not even utilize his dragon style. All he did was use his powerful physical capabilities and he had already caught up to Tian Yan outside of the vi. Despite using all of his powers and getting away for about seven seconds, Qin Feng suddenly appeared next to him with tremendous force and momentum!

    This time, Tian Yan had made his preparation and charged up his internal energy for defense. He was a C-tier, so he had a lot of internal energy in him.

    However, these C-tier powers meant jack sh*t to Qin Feng¡¯s attacks!

    Posh!

    His internal energy shield was crushed in just one strike!

    Qin Feng then hurled a kick on Tian Yan¡¯s thigh.

    ¡°Arggh!!¡±

    When Tian Yan entered Wang Chen¡¯s vi earlier on, he had sealed the dimension in the area using his internal energy so that noises would not spread out to the outside. Right now, he did not care to do preparations like those anymore.

    Tian Yan¡¯s loud, excruciating cry woke up the residents in the higher levels of Fengli City.

    In mere minutes, countless people rushed out from their vis to find out what was happening.

    Yet, when they saw what was happening, they all stopped and watched in awe and excitement.

    Qin Feng¡ªthe one who literally owned Fengli City and Organization was now back!

    Booom!

    As another attacknded, both of Tian Yan¡¯s legs were nowpletely crushed.

    ¡°Arghhhhhhhh!!¡±

    Tian Yan¡¯s internal energy flooded out from his body as he unleashed every power and martial art that he knew in ast ditch attempt to save himself.

    However, to Qin Feng, these ¡°powers¡± and ¡°martial arts¡± were nothing but a joke.

    ¡°Weak. Weak!! How dare someone as weak as youe and make a mess in my turf?! In my Fengli City?!¡±

    As Qin Feng said sternly, he struck out another two kicks and crushed Tian Ya¡¯s limbs. Now, the man could not move ever again.

    Right now, all that Tian Yan felt was fear.

    It felt as though Qin Feng was literally the incarnation of the devil himself. When he was locked on by this devil, there was no hope of fleeing away.

    ¡°President Qin... Look, it¡¯s all just a misunderstanding. Misunderstanding!¡±

    ¡°Ha!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a dryugh.

    ¡°Misunderstanding? So, you¡¯re saying that because of a misunderstanding you came to Fengli City and killed over a dozen men? And not only that, you also stepped on one of my city¡¯s higher-ups, all because of a misunderstanding?¡±

    Qin Feng raised his foot and aimed it at the man¡¯s chest.

    If he stepped onto his chest right now, Tian Yan would definitely die a horrible death.

 Chapter 565 - A Shifty Underling

    <h4>Chapter 565: A Shifty Underling</h4>

    Right now, Tian Yan was at the edge of death under Qin Feng¡¯s foot.

    ¡°Tell me!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s loud, stern voice shook Tian Yan to the core of his soul. The fear and terror that he was feeling was now multiplied even more.

    ¡°President Qin, it¡¯s a misunderstanding. I swear! I¡¯m just here to recover something the Red Sun Corp has misced a while ago! That¡¯s it!¡±

    Tian Yan struggled as he squeezed out the name ¡°Red Sun Corp¡±, hoping that this would make Qin Feng think twice and let him live.

    In the Human Alliance, an organization could only rise up by being endorsed by C-tier aptitude users.

    And some of these organizations were quite well-known.

    One of them was the Red Sun Corp. This one, though, was not a C-tier endorsed organization, and it had not been for quite some time now. It was now a B-tier endorsed organization.

    ¡°Oh, Red Sun, you say?¡± A blink of intrigue shed in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    He could guess what Tian Yan was after now.

    The man was after the Godwill As. Still, he could not understand why the Red Sun was two years early.

    If he could not understand why, Qin Feng could still interrogate the information out of this man.

    When Tian Yan saw that Qin Feng had pulled back his foot, he thought he was safe. However, before he was able to celebrate it, Qin Feng had pressed his palm on his dantian.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Brooooom!!!

    A huge hole was formed on Tian Yan¡¯s dantian as his internal energy was being absorbed by Qin Feng.

    In that instant, all four pools of his internal energy in the dantian were constantly sapped away.

    Tian Yan¡¯s face turned pale as his entire body shook tremendously.

    His limbs were all crushed. Now, his dantian was severely injured by Qin Feng too.

    Still, to a C-tier ancient warrior, these were mere scratches. They only needed to rest for two to three months to heal uppletely.

    And Qin Feng did not intend to allow him to recover from his injuries. By sapping away his internal energy, Tian Yan would have lost his powers and descended to something even weaker than an F-tier.

    Nheless, Qin Feng still left some drops of internal energy in him; this was done so that Tian Yan would not die right away.

    Tian Yan widened his eyes and cried out in a panic, ¡°Nooo!!! My... My internal energy! What happened to it?! What have you done to me?!¡±

    Qin Feng did not bother to answer his questions. Instead, he waved at Bai Li.

    Bai Li then stepped out from the shadows and stood next to Qin Feng.

    Tian Yan did not know what awaited him next. He felt something much worse than death was about to happen to him though.

    ¡°No! You can¡¯t do this to me! Do you know who I am? I am a member of the Red Sun Corp! Our president Hong Lie is a B5-tier ancient warrior!¡±

    Tian Yan hoped that this would stop Qin Feng from doing what he was about to do.

    Still, Tian Yan did not know just what Qin Feng had been through. So what if the man was a B-tier aptitude user? Qin Feng had murdered the sh*t out of these people before.

    Nheless, despite the news of Guang Wei¡¯s death that had shook Beihua City, it onlysted for a while. In fact, killing a general from the Human Alliance, despite him working together with the Dark Coalition, was not enough for people to forget and forgive this quickly. The truth was, the news was suppressed quickly by Shang Han.

    Everyone at Dragon Capital now knew that Qin Feng was a prodigy. However, did they know that Qin Feng was the one who yed all those other prodigies in the Perished Lands?

    They thought that Qin Feng could notst that fifteen days. Yet, Qin Feng was able to aplish something that no one had been able to before. Even the A-tiers thought he was just a mere newbie.

    Besides, that incident on top of Dragon Capital was only known by several inner circles. Most people outside did not know what happened.

    Thus, the ones who knew about Qin Feng all feared him. As for the ones who did not, this was due to the bliss of ignorance!

    ¡°Bai Li, ask him why he needs that thing.¡±

    Colorful light radiated from Bai Li¡¯s eyes as she looked at Tian Yan. The man was now weaker than an F-tier ancient warrior; so, it was quite easy for her to make him sing anything she wanted to hear.

    As expected, Tian Yan told them everything he knew almost immediately.

    Now, Qin Feng knew everything.

    ¡°How unexpected. Due to me, things have changed so drastically!¡±

    Qin Feng knew that during the timeline before he was reborn the Red Sun Corp used every favor and resource they had to expedite the 4th level of the unknown region. Many organizations knew about it.

    Despite how much of a low profile they kept, news about them finding Jade Cape and the Godwill As was known by a select few.

    The mayor of Fu City was merely a D-tier at the time. However, the governor of the Three Cities along the Sun was a C-tier and was linked to another organization whose president was a B-tier aptitude user.

    Thus, the two organizations shed.

    Right now, the Red Sun Corp¡¯s target had changed and was directed at Qin Feng instead. Now, there was no telling what they were nning next!

    Still, no matter what happened, Qin Feng had no need to fear them. He would just take them on each time they threw something at him.

    Thus, Qin Feng raised his hand as a surge of internal energy burst out of his fingers and prated Tian Yan¡¯s skull!

    Tian Yan died in one shot, eyes wide open!

    The people that appeared around Qin Feng were all higher-ups in the Fengli Organization.

    Some of them did not personally know Qin Feng. This was also the first time they had seen Qin Feng kill someone. And they were so in awe when they saw that he could kill a C-tier aptitude user so easily.

    They were so overwhelmed with awe and fear that they stood around him silently, not daring to say anything.

    Qin Feng raised his head and looked around him. Despite not having done anything wrong, the crowd did not dare to look at him in the eye and lowered their gaze.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back. We¡¯ll hold a meeting tomorrow. Attendance ispulsory!¡±

    After saying this, Qin Feng walked away with Bai Li, leaving Tian Yan¡¯s corpse on the ground.

    Wang Chen coughed out some blood as he approached Qin Feng.

    ¡°Boss!¡±

    ¡°Go home and rest. Let¡¯s talk tomorrow when you feel better.¡± Qin Feng said as he lightly tapped on Wang Chen¡¯s shoulder. A string of gentle, warm internal energy flowed into Wang Chen¡¯s body, healing any internal injury that he had almost instantly.

    Feeling much better now, Wang Chen nodded. ¡°Alright. I¡¯m d you¡¯re back, boss. There isn¡¯t anything I want to say other than this!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded before walking straight back home.

    This night, despite the fact that their boss had finallye home, no one dared to visit and disturb Qin Feng at his home!

    Standing atop of the highest building in the city, Qin Feng looked at the view below him. The Floating City kept floating menacingly above his head.

    Bai Li stood next to him, wondering what he was looking at or what was on his mind.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You¡¯re upset that Zhao Xiang became a traitor?¡± Bai Li asked.

    Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°Yes... and no!¡±

    ¡°Oh? You humans are soplicated. If it¡¯s yes, then yes. If it¡¯s no, then no! Why make it so difficult to understand?¡±

    Qin Feng put his hand on her head and rubbed her silky hair gently. ¡°There¡¯s something that is still too early for you to understand.¡±

    Then, he looked at the massive Fengli City below. ¡°I could kill a B-tier easily. I could take on an A-tier now. Yet, despite owning Fengli, I don¡¯t have anyone under me who¡¯s at least B-tier. C-tiers are also quite limited under my reign!¡±

    ¡°Hence, despite the city¡¯s and organization¡¯s rapid development, they could not keep up with me. This has resulted in many having some funny ideas and wanting to grab Fengli for themselves. It¡¯s like Fengli is a massive, delicious cake and many have the idea of eating it whole... but they could not because they couldn¡¯t devour it in one bite! Now, they are getting increasingly anxious as the cake grows bigger and bigger!¡±

 Chapter 566 - Hong Lieâ€™s Thoughts

    <h4>Chapter 566: Hong Lie¡¯s Thoughts</h4>

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    Bai Li harrumphed, much like how a discontented little girl would. ¡°Exploiters? Fengli is ours, not someone else¡¯s. Who gave them the right to try and exploit us? We ought to just drive them all away!¡±

    Qin Feng was surprised by her tone but ended upughing from how dumbstruck he was.

    ¡°You¡¯re right. We should drive all the greedy people away!¡±

    ***

    December came and brought with it snowkes and a cooler climate that made many shrink their necks and shiver.

    Fengli City had only been established for about a year and it was its first time hosting an end-of-yearrge scale conference.

    That day, the originally rapidly expanding Fengli Organization had half of its staff members dismissed. With the internal part of thepany facing such a drastic shift, the remaining staff began to be more alert. They had to be more careful about themselves if they wanted a future in this organization.

    Shares were changed in thepany after Qin Feng injected some of his own liquid assets into the mix and ended up owning 95% of the shares. Some of the original management shares were either lowered in returns or given back to thepany. After all, thepany had an Iron and Blood policy*.

    Qin Feng stood behind the podium of the conference hall, looking at the others below.

    These were the ones recruited when the Fengli Organization was first established. They would always stay in the city and be the city¡¯s backbone in the future.

    He started to speak. ¡°Among you, there are many who are seeing me for the first time. Of course, I hope that this wouldn¡¯t be thest time you do.¡±

    ¡°Fengli will continue to grow in the future and these contributions might not be yours!¡±

    The sentence was blunt and had no other meaning behind it!

    ¡°Remember, if you don¡¯t want to work under me then you can leave.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t hold any other thoughts. Those who are capable, who are strong, would naturally have a higher status. Organizations like ours would always have the next generationing up first!¡±

    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to fall behind, then train yourselves and fight harder! If you¡¯re just watching videos and not working hard then what¡¯s the point of it?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t have a lot of time to manage all of you much. Just be more self conscious and I won¡¯t leave you behind!¡±

    Qin Feng exuded a terrifying presence from his body but he did not unleash his strength to coerce these people or use his consciousness to suppress them.

    This was all just him.

    And it was enough to shock everyone present.

    Qin Feng gave everyone another look before withdrawing and stepping off.

    ¡°Dismissed!¡±

    He quickly disappeared without a trace. It was only when he was gone that people could recollect themselves.

    ¡°That¡¯s our president? The governor of the Four Cities on the North Sea?¡±

    ¡°He wasn¡¯t unleashing any kind of aura, but I couldn¡¯t look directly at him when he was up there. Is that what it feels like to be around someone powerful?¡±

    ¡°Ugh, having the president personally reprimand us is embarrassing! This can be counted as the management¡¯s negligence!¡±

    ¡°Get stronger. Train harder. If we can¡¯t keep up with the president then someone¡¯s going to end up recing us!¡±

    Everyone had their own thoughts but they were all nervous after being reprimanded by Qin Feng. After thinking about all those who had been kicked out, those who remained did not dare to rx.

    Qin Feng remained in Fengli City and only spoke to those in the Dragon Capital via hismunicator. After all, things had already been carried on and the contract had begun.

    Compared to the other aptitude users in Fengli, there was a ce that Qin Feng found morefort in.

    Fengli¡¯s soleboratory. Most of the people here were scientists who were just ordinary people.

    A scientist was an upation many ordinary people strived for.

    Although they would not be as unscrupulous as the life of an aptitude user, it was a lucrative job and if they were recognized then they would be living a good life.

    What was more was that this job had the lowest chance of getting randomly killed by people!

    By now, Qin Feng¡¯sboratory had expanded exponentially, there was even a small basement that functioned as an underground research level.

    Besides researching mutants, it was also where machinery was being engineered.

    ¡°How goes the advanced C-tier beast king experiments?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re still at a 50% risk factor. We don¡¯t have enough data and we can¡¯t do live experimentation!¡± The head scientist had been changed recently but that was not important.

    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about keeping live specimens!¡± Qin Feng said in a serious tone. ¡°We¡¯re different from the Dark Coalition. If you want data then I¡¯ll go out and find some for you. Until then, just do your best!¡±

    ¡°Yes, President, Sir!¡±

    Qin Feng went on to inspect the mechanical research wing and introduce to the scientists there the technology that he had picked up while he was in the Perished Lands for them to research on before leaving.

    After that, he called his contacts in the Dragon Capital to look for another piece of information.

    The Z Organization!

    ¡°Back then, I couldn¡¯t find the whereabouts of the Z Organization. Could it be because I knew too little?¡±

    After being reborn as a prodigy, Qin Feng learned that the results of being in a different circle of aptitude users were vast.

    Like the Dragon Gate Tower. Without the status of being a prodigy, you could not enter at all and if you missed it then you would have missed a once in a lifetime chance.

    Now he had contacts with all kinds of people of different families in the Dragon Capital. The personalwork management made things very efficient.

    Information took time, so all he could do now was just wait patiently!

    ***

    On the third day after Qin Feng returned to Fengli City, the news of Tian Yan¡¯s death had been confirmed by Wen Hai and passed into Hong Lie¡¯s ears, a B-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°What? You say it¡¯s Qin Feng?¡±

    The president of the Red Sun Corp rapidly blinked his eyes when he heard the news from Wen Hai.

    Although he had not been in Beihua City for a long time due to him clearing ultra beasts on the battlefield but since he was B-tier he would eventually end up knowing things that people of his caliber would naturally know.

    Wei Hai did not know what was riling up Hong Lie so much but he bit the bullet and said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him!¡±

    ¡°Ridiculous!¡± Hong Lie said angrily, ¡°He¡¯s a prodigy, a prodigy that made it past the Dragon Gate Tower. Do you know what that means?¡±

    ¡°Sir, we, we just thought that he might be dead and even if he wasn¡¯t dead, it was just to get a few things. Who would have thought that he would personally return and kill Tian Yan!¡±

    ¡°Bullsh*t, he¡¯s the president of Fengli. You pull someone¡¯s legs, wouldn¡¯t they kick back? If someone tried to touch you, you think I¡¯d just stand by and watch?¡±

    Wei Hai was stillpletely oblivious and remarked, ¡°Sir, how can hepare to you? He¡¯s just a C-tier of some backwater state!¡±

    ¡°Shortsighted!¡± Hong Lie angrily yelled but realized that there were things that he could not tell his subordinate. Such as the fact that while Qin Feng was C-tier, he could still kill B-tiers.

    ¡°You don¡¯t need to follow up on this matter anymore, I¡¯ll handle this myself! Remember, don¡¯t try to act smart otherwise in the end you wouldn¡¯t even find out how you died!¡±

    Once he was done talking, Hong Lie used his contacts to seek out Qin Feng so he could make reconciliation.

    *Trantion: ¡®Iron and Blood¡¯ was part of a speech given by Otto von Bismark in September 30 1862. It means a focus on manpower more than anything else.

 Chapter 567 - Letâ€™s Work Together

    <h4>Chapter 567: Let¡¯s Work Together</h4>

    Inside Fengli City.

    Perhaps it was due to Qin Feng¡¯s return that the atmosphere of the city experienced a drastic change. Work efficiency had doubled and everyone was holding themselves with strict discipline with no thoughts of doublecrossing or inherent cheekiness.

    Qin Feng did not care if this was just an act for his sake or that these people already had this in mind. The ones he had knocked off were already knocked off, if things had remained like before then it was not his fault forcking mercy!

    ¡°Beep beep beep!¡±

    Hismunicator rang, it had been busy these few days. Qin Feng did not even look at who was calling and epted it immediately.

    He was a little surprised by who was calling after he epted the call.

    ¡°General He!¡±

    Qin Feng eximed, brows raised with doubt. Why would He Liming be calling him?

    He Liming was one of the people that audited Qin Feng when he applied for the position of governor for the Four Cities on the North Sea. He was also the one who refuted Guang Wei back then.

    Unfortunately, Guang Wei seeded in the end and Qin Feng was marked as a wanted criminal.

    Regardless, Qin Feng still had a very good impression of the man!

    He was just caught off guard was all.

    ¡°Governor Qin! I hope you¡¯ve been well since west met?¡± He Liming smiled faintly. He did not carry the arrogant tone higher-ups used when speaking to those that ranked lower than them in the way he spoke, putting himself and Qin Feng at the same position.

    Of course, it would be difficult to speak formally to Qin Feng. He Liming knew how tough he was, as well as how bold. Bold enough to kill Guang Wei and get out of the situation scott free. Whether it was schemes, power and status, Qin Fengcked none of them!

    ¡°I¡¯m fine. What¡¯s going on with you, General He?¡±

    ¡°Haha, I wouldn¡¯t be calling to just say hello!¡± He Liming quickly said before smiling, ¡°There¡¯s an old friend of mine who came to me and asked me to help me seek you out. If possible, he would like to meet you in the Consciousness Realm!¡±

    Qin Feng was surprised, what was so important that they needed to meet and talk about?

    Despite being surprised, he did not ask why. He Liming was only the messenger after all.

    ¡°You don¡¯t know who it is?¡±

    ¡°Not someone from the Northern Region! I think you¡¯d know them. It¡¯s a high-ranking member from the Red Sun Corp, Hong Lie!¡±

    The color of curiosity suddenly flickered in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°I see. For your sake, General He. I¡¯ll attend this meeting!¡±

    ¡°Haha, thank you then Governor Qin!¡±

    Qin Feng then took out the consciousness connector and entered the Consciousness Realm. He quickly received an invitation to enter a very special manor!

    It was Hong Lie¡¯s private space. Within the Consciousness Realm, such ces could be constructed for the sake of meeting guests.

    Hong Lie was already waiting inside!

    ¡°President Qin, good to meet you!¡±

    ¡°Oh, I¡¯m a little surprised to see you President Hong!¡± Qin Feng said and shook hands with Hong Lie. It looked like he was being indifferent but others might have seen him as not being enthusiastic.

    This was normal though. While Qin Feng and Hong Lie had no beef with one another, their subordinates hade into conflict after all.

    ¡°I assume you¡¯ve called me to use me, President Hong?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    It made sense. Qin Feng killed one of his C-tier subordinates. That alone would make anyone angry.

    That would be the same as the guy who almost killed Wang Chen, incited Qin Feng¡¯s fury and made him dare to offend a B-tier organization.

    ¡°Hah, how would that be possible? There must be some misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I¡¯mpletely unaware of Tian Yan¡¯s actions, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t have let him do such a foolish thing!¡± Hong Lie exined quickly.

    Qin Feng cocked a brow. He naturally understood what Hong Lie was doing, he was trying to calm things down.

    In that case, Qin Feng had no reason to continue being indifferent!

    ¡°In that case, I¡¯ve mistaken you as well President Hong!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve been impressed by you for a long time President Qin, it¡¯s time we get acquainted with one another!¡± Hong Lie said.

    Qin Feng seemed to be smiling. Hong Lie looked carefree and proud, and by now if the situation had gone differently he would have been coughing up teeth.

    He did not try to push the matter, what was in the past was in the past.

    Afterward, they spoke casually with one another. Originally, Hong Lie believed Qin Feng to be some stubborn brat and nned on skirting around his vtile nature. To his surprise he found out that Qin Feng was quite calm and collected. He did not speak much but when he did it enlightened people.

    Both the host and the guest were pleased.

    Soon, Hong Lie did not hesitate to reveal his second motive.

    Originally he had wanted to contact Qin Feng again before making the decision.

    Even though he had not noticed it, the few words that Qin Feng spoke were leading him on, unconsciously guiding Hong Lie.

    This kind of method, apart from Hong Lie lowering his guard due to Qin Feng¡¯s age, was also due to Qin Feng¡¯s cleverness.

    ¡°There¡¯s no point in hiding in President Qin. I sought you out for another reason. I wonder if Tian Yan had told you about the purpose behind him going to Fengli City?¡±

    ¡°A bit,¡± Qin Feng replied. He did not just hear a little, there was not much that Tian Yan had told Hong Lie but when forced by Bai Li, he revealed almost everything.

    Hong Lie was not surprised and continued, ¡°Well, I¡¯m looking for this jade cape that could grant the user ess to a hidden realm. I¡¯ve been holding the rights to this realm for a couple of years and it costs a lot of money to do so. I don¡¯t want to waste anymore time.If you don¡¯t mind, I was hoping that we could enter this realm together and split things at 40-60 percent?¡±

    Of course, Qin Feng would be the 40 and Hong Lie would be the 60!

    Such a n was already gouging into Hong Lie¡¯s side!

    ¡°Alright, I also want to see what this realm is about!¡± Qin Feng nodded in agreement. He did not care about how things were going to be divided. 60-40 was fair, even if it was 50-50 there still would not be much meaning to him.

    Qin Feng did this so that Hong Lie would not have any ideas of obtaining the Godwill As.In Hong Lie¡¯s mind the Godwill As was the key to unlocking this alternate dimension.

    Once they agreed on the terms, Qin Feng departed from the Consciousness Realm.

    ***

    Three dayster, Hong Lie was the first to arrive at the Red Sun Corp¡¯s hidden realm¡¯s entrance. There were also ten of his C-tier subordinates, including Wen Hai who was stationed here.

    ¡°Boss, you really n on just giving Qin Feng 40 percent of the gains? You¡¯re way too generous!¡± Wen Hai said with discontent.

    Hong Lie red at Wen Hai. ¡°Watch your mouth, do you think I don¡¯t know what I¡¯m doing?¡±

    Wen Hai did not dare retort. He and Tian Yan wasted two years preparing for this realm. Although he spent those years shut away and practicing, only appearing when he obtained good machinery, it felt like he was wasting those times away in prison.

    Then, Qin Feng suddenly came in out of nowhere and all of a sudden Wen Hai¡¯s gains were reduced?

    How could he not be nervous? Or have opinions about Qin Feng?

 Chapter 568 - The Hidden Realmâ€™s 5th Layer

    <h4>Chapter 568: The Hidden Realm¡¯s 5th Layer</h4>

    ¡°Rx. Once the realm is opened you won¡¯t be left behind!¡±

    Wen Hai only half-heartedly took in Hong Lie¡¯s words. Deep down, he was getting even more nervous.

    He did not dare say anything about it and could only hope that Hong Lie would not break his promise.

    At this moment, he noticed a small ck dot appearing in the sky¡¯s horizon.

    ¡°Boss! We¡¯ve got iing!¡±

    A gunner peered through his long-distance sights and quickly locked onto the iing ck object. They soon recognized what was approaching.

    ¡°It¡¯s a Sky Dweller hover copter flying at low altitude!¡±

    The Sky Dweller was well known for its speed, but it was not a major threat when it came tobat. The creation of the aircraft, which was an awe inspiring behemoth of the skies, was second to none whenpared to other kinds of machines.

    Just as the gunner finished speaking, he was surprised upon realization that this hover copter was flying directly toward them.

    This little hover copter sure had some guts!

    ¡°Boss, should we give them a warning?¡± The gunner asked.

    Hong Lie paused for a moment before quickly saying, ¡°No, he¡¯s here!¡±

    As for who ¡®him¡¯ was? Hong Lie did not say and everyone immediately went on high alert.

    Looking at the hover copter as it got closer, those on the ground began to feel an odd, indescribable sensation.

    ¡°I thought President Qin would be bringing a modified aircraft. I¡¯ve heard they¡¯re equipped with energy cannons like the Floating City!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s just a small hover copter!¡±

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s to show that he¡¯s friendly?¡±

    The hover copter finallynded while the crowd was buzzing with discussion. The moment it touched the ground, all discussion faded away.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li got out of the hover copter.

    He then proceeded to store the hover copter inside his spatial rune equipment. This meant that Qin Feng only brought two people here.

    This moment caused even Hong Lie to feel a little impressed by Qin Feng¡¯s boldness.

    He had killed Hong Lie¡¯s men and although he was cooperating now, there¡¯s a chance that Hong Lie might suddenly change his mind and decide to take him down. Qin Feng¡¯s side only had two people while Hong Lie¡¯s side had one B-tier, ten C-tiers and forty to fifty more D-tiers!

    ¡®Does this Qin Feng actually have that much confidence in himself? Maybe it¡¯s overconfidence?¡¯ Hong Lie guessed in his mind but maintained a weing posture.

    Regardless of what it was, Hong Lie had no ns to drop all cordiality.

    ¡°Did you wait for long?¡± Qin Feng asked, nodding.

    ¡°Ha, no no, we¡¯ve just arrived. Let¡¯s go together!¡±

    ¡°Okay, together!¡±

    The two did not dy with small talk either.

    Wen Hai quickly organized his people and opened up the hidden realm.

    Qin Feng could feel dark runes floating around in his surroundings and he could just about detect a hazy barrier forming into view.

    Even if they did not remove this barrier, Qin Feng could still feel the dark runes around him. After all, it was an old trick he knew.

    When the realm was exposed, it did not look very big. As the barrier disappeared, it revealed a staircase leading down into the void. There were four tforms in total and he could see the first to fourth level.

    ¡°President Qin, let¡¯s go!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s.¡±

    When they stepped onto the beginning tform, there were some raised podiums. It looked like those used to have items on them. Whatever they used to carry, they were no longer there.

    Qin Feng did not care much about it. The Red Sun Corp had gotten to this hidden realm before, so it was natural that they would have taken things away.

    Qin Feng took point and quickly reached the 4th tform. That was where he saw arge gate barrier.

    On this gate there was a dent like an upside down triangle, simr to the Godwill As¡¯ impression.

    He took out the Godwill As and manipted it with his consciousness, causing it to fly out and enter this indentation. It fit like a glove, as if it was always meant to be there.

    Woom woom woom.

    Energy burst out from the gate barrier and quickly entered the Godwill As. Soon, the barrier disappeared!

    Qin Feng inspected the Godwill As and realized that its energy had increased, speeding up its consciousness cultivation and had gotten more powerful.

    ¡°Haha, talk about twice the fortune! The jade cloak was only an E-tier item. Now it has reached C-tier, very fitting for President Qin¡¯s use!¡± Hong Lie said.

    ¡°Indeed!¡± Qin Feng put the Godwill As away and followed the rest into the new level.

    The 5th Level.

    Unsurprisingly it contained all sorts of C-tier materials. Seal spirit herbs, beast king energy crystal cores and even some special spatial rune equipment. While their refinement method was different and seemed a little strange but it did not hinder their power.

    The C-tiers of the Red Sun Corp were all very excited.

    ¡°What a great haul, President Qin, I¡¯ll get someone to audit this immediately!¡±

    ¡°Right!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded but he did not care about these. So what if it was C-tier equipment? He already had the Sacred Armor, why would these matter?

    His attention was drawn toward the 6th level. If they could open up that level, maybe it would have B-tier equipment. Regardless of its price or future use, such a thought made Qin Feng excited at the prospect.

    As if seeing through Qin Feng¡¯s n, Hong Lie obviously dropped his ns of sharing a 40 percent split.

    ¡°Thank you so much President Qin, everything has been ounted for!¡±

    Hong Lie put the things his subordinates handed over to him and passed it onto Qin Feng after putting them into a spatial rune equipment.

    Qin Feng gave it a passing nce and nodded. His eyes were still mostly glued to the 6th level¡¯s barrier. ¡°This realm has another level. Interesting, I wonder how many levels it actually has?¡±

    ¡°Haha, I too want to find out, but based on the data we¡¯ve previously collected. It looks like it only has 6th levels but I won¡¯t trouble you with this!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President Hong. I don¡¯t have any ulterior motives, I mean I¡¯m young and I recently awakened. There aren¡¯t a lot of hidden realms I¡¯ve seen before. If you don¡¯t mind I¡¯d like to stay behind and watch so I can increase my knowledge!¡±

    With how Qin Feng put it, Hong Lie could not just drive him away. Qin Feng did say that he had no ulterior motives, whether or not it was true was up to Hong Lie to believe.

    ¡°Very well. Then I suppose you can give me some advice!¡±

    Hong Lie was only saying this to be polite of course.

    When they approached the barrier, a crystal pir materialized in front of them.

    ¡°What is that?¡± Hong Lie asked

    Wen Hai had studied this realm extensively and hurriedly stepped forward to observe it. The others brainstormed suggestions but none of their theories stuck and they could not find out what purpose the pir served.

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just a roadblock? We can try chopping it down?¡± Wen Hai thought that it was something they could just break through with force!

    ¡°I suggest we don¡¯t do that!¡± Qin Feng warned apathetically.

 Chapter 569 - Raising The Price

    <h4>Chapter 569: Raising The Price</h4>

    Qin Feng pointed toward the crystal pir and said, ¡°That¡¯s a kind of consciousness crystal. You need to attack it with consciousness to be effective. If ancient warriors or another kind of attack hits it, then the energy stored inside would fire back toward the attacker!¡±

    Wen Hai was startled and quickly took a step back.

    Hong Lie was not sure if this was true or not when he heard it, but they would soon find out after some experimenting!

    ¡°Haha, thank you President Qin. If that gets opened up then you¡¯ll be rewarded for helping out!¡±

    Whatever these rewards were, Hong Lie did not specify but it would not be like the previously agreed 40-60 percent split, at most it would probably be just a few billions or so.

    Qin Feng did not seem to mind, he was just going to sit back and enjoy the show.

    He could remember that these kinds of crystals were used to create reflective shields and they were a godsend against ultra beasts that only used their physical strength. With these shields, their wielders were invincible in those situations.

    However, these crystals were rare and could be mined conventionally.

    At this moment, Qin Feng impishly nced at Hong Lie whose gaze swept through his men until he was pointing at a fire ability user, ¡°You go ahead and try!¡±

    Hong Lie had ten C-tiers under him. Six ancient warriors, two gunners and two ability users. The fire ability user was not the strongest one and Hong Lie was only using him as a test subject.

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± The fire ability user nodded and walked a couple of steps forward. He stared at the crystal as he mobilized his consciousness before attacking.

    It was a simple consciousness based attack, but the people around him could feel a strong wind kick up in front of the ability user. It carried no runes but a terrifying force that rushed toward the crystal¡¯s surface.

    The translucent appearance of the crystal pir made it look like it was extremely fragile. Consciousness attacks were best used against living creatures, but if one had a strong enough consciousness, they could st away crystals, solid rocks even, with ease using the amount of pressure they could put out.

    That was why the fire ability user was full of confidence!

    Soon something strange began to happen to the crystal pir. As the consciousness hit the crystal, the cylindrical object began to glow. It was not the whole thing that was glowing, only a portion of its lower half was and the glow was slowly moving up and disappeared when it reached five centimeters!

    The pir was about one meter in diameter and five meters in height. What good was a mere 5 centimeters?

    The ability user waspletely stunned.

    He reacted quickly and said, ¡°Boss, there¡¯s a reaction but the previous idea was wrong. The crystal needs to be trickle fed, I¡¯ll try again!¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Hong Lie nodded in response.

    The ability user mobilized his consciousness again, but this time instead of kicking up a violent st he slowly trickled his power into the crystal.

    The crystal began to glow again!

    Five centimeters, ten centimeters...

    Twenty centimeters, fifty centimeters...

    The ability user began to turn pale, his consciousness had reached its limits and he was starting to dry up!

    There was no way to go on, the ability user could only give up.

    ¡°Sir...¡± Even if he was a C-tier in front of his superior, he could not help himself from revealing a perturbed expression.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine! Don¡¯t force yourself!¡± Hong Lie had a foul expression on his face but he did not push the me on him. His subordinate had already done his best.

    ¡°Sir, I¡¯ll go this time!¡± The other ability user spoke up. He did not wait for Hong Lie¡¯s approval and unleashed his consciousness.

    At this point, the light from the pir had already dimmed. When the consciousness was released, the pir began to light up again but this time from the bottom once more.

    This was when the ability user¡¯s confident expression began to change.

    He was known to be twice as strong as the other ability user that was called up.

    It did not take very long for the pir to light up to about seventy centimeters before it stopped moving.

    ¡°What...¡± The ability user was embarrassed by this.

    ¡°Enough!¡± Hong Lie already looked very annoyed. He nced over at the two gunners who responded by lowering their heads. There was no point, gunners were not as strong as ability users when it came to the consciousness department.

    He glowered before walking toward the pir, raising a hand to strike it with internal force

    Then something shocking happened as the pir shed with light brighter than the glow that happened when the two ability users were interacting with it. The light condensed into a beam and shot out at Hong Lie.

    This happened way too quickly. Everyone could feel that this beam was just as strong as the B-tier Hong Lie.

    Color drained from Hong Lie¡¯s face.

    Boom!

    Hong Lie instinctively activated his internal force shield to protect himself, but his defense was instantly broken through, shattering his shielding.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Hong Lie cried out, trying to activate his internal defenses again but the consciousness had already touched him. He suddenly felt very dizzy, his body refusing to respond properly as he was left mostly paralyzed.

    ¡®Uh oh!¡¯ Hong Lie thought.

    ¡°The president!¡±

    ¡°Quick! Protect the president!¡±

    The people of the Red Sun Corp cried out. But it was toote!

    All of a sudden, a wave of consciousness rushed through the air!

    Qin Feng made his move!

    When this burst of consciousness was released, it collided with the energy that was going after Hong Lie. The two energies connected before canceling each other out.

    Hong Lie stumbled a few steps backward and almost fell to the ground.

    Qin Feng smiled as he approached Hong Lie and said, ¡°President Hong, even if you didn¡¯t believe me you should have asked one of your men to test it. The crystal has the ability to reflect any damage it takes, back to the attacker, depending on whoever is hitting it!¡±

    When Hong Lie was conscious enough he suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment and cursed in his mind, ¡®This kid deliberately made a fool out of me! He didn¡¯t say that before!¡¯

    He did not even stop to think that it was his fault for not asking.

    By now, Qin Feng decided to not stay and said, ¡°Looks like it¡¯ll take awhile before you and your men will be able to break into the 6th level, President Hong. If so, then I won¡¯t be staying, Fengli still has plenty of things that need my attention!¡±

    Qin Feng was going to just up and leave!

    Hong Lie¡¯s eyes quickly shifted about and his face was unreadable. He was hesitating.

    Soon, he made up his mind and put on a smile before loudly saying, ¡°No, President Qin. Not so fast, I wouldn¡¯t be bothering you for nothing. How about you and I work together to enter the 6th level?¡±

    ¡°Oh? I don¡¯t know how the contents inside would be distributed.¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Of course it will still be a 40-60 percent deal!¡± Hong Lie said.

    Qin Feng shook his head, unimpressed by this deal. ¡°I won¡¯t be unreasonable, let¡¯s make it 50-50!¡±

    Hong Lie almost swore out loud. Not unreasonable? That was basically raising the price!

 Chapter 570 - And Open Fire

    <h4>Chapter 570: And Open Fire</h4>

    Hong Lie had been holding onto the rights to this realm for two years and had the mindset of firste first serve. The idea of sharing a 40-60 percent split with Qin Feng would have been ridiculous, but one of his subordinates provoked Qin Feng and it was for a bunch of C-tier items that, in Hong Lie¡¯s opinion, seemed more important to Qin Feng but it was not so important for him!

    That was why he was so generous when it came to the 5th level.

    Now that they had reached the 6th level, there was obviously better loot. Now, Qin Feng wanted a 50-50 split, which meant that Hong Lie would suffer a huge loss.

    However, he continued with his previous decision. If he had to look for someone else then he would still have to give them incentives, and maybe haggle for the price of aid. Since Qin Feng was here, might as well let him try.

    Maybe Qin Feng would not be able to get it open!

    He did not expect Qin Feng to test his limits!

    This obviously made him start to hesitate.

    The other people were speechless when they saw the power that Qin Feng unleashed. He easily blocked a consciousness attack that would have taken out a B-tier aptitude user. They saw just how powerful he was.

    ¡®No wonder Boss called me an idiot. Qin Feng¡¯s power is incredibly strong! The boss couldn¡¯t have blocked that attack, yet this guy did!¡¯

    ¡®Don¡¯t know if the president is gonna ept those terms. Doesn¡¯t matter to me. If B-tier items appear then they¡¯d be useless for me!¡¯ Wen Hai thought to himself while the other C-tiers could not find the words and only continued to watch.

    Hong Lie gritted his teeth. ¡°You can go ahead and try, President Qin!¡±

    He had a n, believing that Qin Feng would not be able to reach the amount the crystal pir demanded. What was the harm in trying? If he did not make it, then not only would Hong Lie save ie, he would also be able to test the limits of the pir.

    ¡°Heh! Fine!¡±

    Qin Feng turned his head to look at the pir before his consciousness burst out.

    That being said, if the consciousness of the two C-tiers that Hong Lie brought along with him were small gentle streams, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was a vast torrential river.

    People could pick up a rumbling sound with their ears, but it was in fact the sound of his consciousness activating.

    The crystal pir began to light up and the light traveled up the pir at an extremely fast pace.

    In the beginning it was only one meter, then two, then three.

    In the blink of an eye, it reached all the way to five meters!

    Woom!

    The pir shuddered and the barrier behind the crystal pir began to open and thest level of the hidden realm was revealed to everyone present.

    There were so many things piled behind that barrier.

    Hong Lie did not know if he should rejoice at the obstacle being cleared or despair at the fact that he just lost half of the loot.

    ¡°President Qin, the next generation has really far surpassed us!¡± Hong Lie said with a hint of jealousy in his tone.

    ¡°Just a bit!¡± Qin Feng humbly responded to the other¡¯spliment, which only aggrieved Hong Lie even more.

    Hong Lie¡¯s men began to catalogue the items and Qin Feng casually said, ¡°That crystal pir is quite interesting, why not just give me that as part of the level¡¯s loot?¡±

    Hong Lie had calmed down by now and after hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words he thought about it for a moment before nodding cheerfully and said, ¡°Of course!¡±

    Wen Hai gave Hong Lie a puzzled look. While the pir may have been an object used to test any who approached, it definitely was something worthwhile. Maybe it could even be refined into a God Weapon?

    But it was Hong Lie¡¯s decision and Wen Hai had no say in this whatsoever. He did not bother speaking up either, maybe the president thought that the B-tier materials were more valuable than the crystal pir.

    Soon, when everything was organized and put away, and Qin Feng had obtained his end of the terms, he naturally said his farewell.

    ¡°I won¡¯t be keeping you then, President Qin!¡±

    Hong Lie smiled and said goodbye.

    Qin Feng waved his hand and summoned the Sky Dweller. With Bai Li in tow, they boarded the hover copter.

    Hong Lie waved at the hover copter as it flew off and walked toward it at the same time. He unconsciously began to walk faster as he got closer to it.

    In less than thirty seconds, Qin Feng¡¯s hover copter had taken to the skies but it had not yet disappeared from some people¡¯s view. Hong Lie and the others had already entered their aircraft.

    As Hong Lie moved forward, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and his eyes filled with murderous intent.

    ¡°Lock onto that Sky Dweller with the biggest cannon we¡¯ve got and open fire!¡±

    All his subordinates were taken aback by thismand, but suddenly delighted. They finally understood what their president was doing and why he was so easy to persuade earlier!

    ¡°Understood!¡±

    A C-tier gunner quickly started up the aircraft and pointed its main cannon toward the Sky Dweller. The hover copter was still within his range!

    The others were standing behind Hong Lie, waiting for the fireworks.

    ¡°President, you were secretly plotting against that kid!¡±

    ¡°I told you before, the president doesn¡¯t suffer losses. That kid just bit off more than he could chew, just because he¡¯s just a bit stronger.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, though I don¡¯t know how he¡¯d feel after getting killed by the machines of his own design!¡±

    Everyone was shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s power. In their eyes, he was a powerful threat. Of course they would not like him.

    Especially Wen Hai.

    Hong Lie let out a chillingugh, ¡°I was going to be civil but this brat crossed the line! That crystal pir is priceless, how could it just be exchanged for half a level¡¯s worth of loot? Now I want to see just how he can escape from this one!¡±

    Qin Feng was infamously dangerous and Hong Lie would never take him on in a direct confrontation.

    But now, he only brought a lone Sky Dweller here, nor did he bring any subordinates or an aircraft.

    His fleeing figure seemed so fragile, so unsuspecting. This caused malicious thoughts to spread through Hong Lie¡¯s mind.

    ¡®This is an opportunity. Qin Feng is a top prodigy. Once I kill him, there¡¯s no telling what manner of treasures he¡¯s carrying on his person!¡¯

    ¡®It¡¯s your fault for not being vignt!¡¯

    ¡®A fallen prodigy is just like the meteors that burn up in the atmosphere as they crash to the ground. No more worth than rocks!¡¯

    As Hong Lie thought to himself, the aircraft¡¯s cannon had been fully charged.

    Meanwhile, in the Sky Dweller. Bai Li furrowed her brows. ¡°That Hong Lie guy¡¯s nning to kill us!¡±

    Even when he was smiling and waving, there was no hiding that murderous intent in his eyes as he watched them leave.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°I¡¯ve known the moment that I asked to retrieve the pir.¡±

    ¡°Huh?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, that pir is a must have thing for the senior members of the Red Sun Corp. To have given it to me so easily would either mean that Hong Lie is stupid or nning something!¡±

    Bai Li could suddenly feel the fluctuations of energy, even from thousands of meters away.

    She sneered, ¡°Obviously, President Hong Lie has other ns!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s lips pulled into a sarcastic smirk. ¡°A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. I sold President Hong something that has a little w. He fell for it. I hope he doesn¡¯t regret what he¡¯s done!¡±

    At this moment, the main cannon of the aircraft manufactured by the Fengli Organization fired out a terrifying beam of energy. It crossed the distance of a kilometer in an instant and was about to reach Qin Feng¡¯s little Sky Dweller!

 Chapter 571 - Self-inflicted Consequences

    <h4>Chapter 571: Self-inflicted Consequences</h4>

    Just when Qin Feng¡¯s Sky Dweller was about to be blown apart, a transparent shield abruptly extended around the entire hover copter from its tail.

    The energy of the shield felt familiar. Qin Feng had used the same energy to unlock the sixth level of the sanctuary earlier.

    It was a C5-tier, emperor-ss conscious power.

    The consciousness shield that had materialized instantly turned the tables before the aircraft¡¯s crews from the Red Sun Corp had enough time to react.

    The powerfulser reflected once it hit on the shield and traveled straight down to the ground.

    The C-tier gunners on the aircraft were astounded.

    ¡°Consciousness reflection!¡± They did not expect it. This meant they had just missed a golden opportunity.

    Hong Lie¡¯s smile immediately vanished from his face. His eyelids fluttered as he bellowed angrily, ¡°Morons! Why didn¡¯t you realize your target, an ability user, is preparing a reflecting shield with that much conscious power? Are you guys stupid?¡±

    His rant did not change the fact in front of them.

    The two C-tier gunners were half-ashamed, half-infuriated. Their faces were all red.

    They both had infused their shot with consciousness too. Otherwise, they would lose the target once the Sky Dweller switches direction. Theser may be quick but a straight-line trajectory was always easy to evade.

    Nheless, it never crossed their mind that Qin Feng would change theser direction with a consciousness shield.

    In hindsight, they should have seen iting. Did Qin Feng not just show the prowess of his consciousness?

    This was when therge monitor showed a new development.

    After theser beam was deflected and went straight down, another screen appeared before theser hit the ground and changed its direction once again.

    This time, it was sent right back to where it came from.

    Everyone thought about the same name of the skill that had once made a formidable gunner famous.

    Consciousness Refraction!

    But no one had the time to utter the words.

    The attack came in too fast. The refractedser was right in front of their eyes and their ears were upied by the deafening rms.

    ¡°Beep! Beep! Beep! Warning! Warning! Dangerousser waves iing! The aircraft would automatically enter full defense mode! Insufficient energy! Insufficient energy!¡±

    The main cannon had been charged to its maximum capacity to kill Qin Feng for good. Under the gunners¡¯ modification, most defensive power from the aircraft had been exhausted in exchange for thergest possible attack power.

    Everyone understood the risk but nobody had raised it up. They did not think it would be an issue and were confident that the attack would destroy Qin Feng¡¯s hover copter instantly.

    Since there was not any other threat around them, the safety of the aircraft was the least of their concern.

    But as theser beam wasing straight back at them, they had only themselves to me for not reserving a trick up their sleeves.

    It was a horrendous and regrettable decision.

    A weak energy shield formed in thest minute around the aircraft but it was shattered almost immediately.

    Arghhhh!

    The two C-tier gunners shrieked desperately and unleashed their conscious power. Theirst-ditch effort to emte Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness reflection had failed miserably.

    Theser fired at full power was enough to kill a B-tier aptitude user. How was it possible for two C-tiers to stop it?

    Both of their faces turned pale and they dropped from the stool they were sitting on. But that was not the worst to happen to them yet.

    Theser beam had prated the lower deck of the aircraft. It went all the way and tore the flying warship apart.

    The next moment, theser beam turned into a terrible eruption.

    Boom!

    The aircraft exploded into a mushroom cloud in that instance. There was no salvation for the aircraft at this scale of the st.

    The after-impact could be felt a few thousand meters away but Qin Feng¡¯s Sky Dweller was long gone. He was watching it happen through a surveince camera.

    Qin Feng saved the images and sent them along with the videos he had recorded earlier to He Liming.

    Hong Lie had sought He Liming¡¯s help to resolve their previous dispute. But now the two of them had once again fallen off.

    Qin Feng collected the evidence to prove that he was not the one who betrayed the treaty first, and he thought that He Liming deserved an exnation.

    He Liming did not understand why Qin Feng had sent him the video because it did not really bother him whether Qin Feng and Hong Lie were friends or foes.

    But he was immediately intrigued after he watched the videos.

    In the video, Qin Feng and Hong Lie had apparently reached an agreement but in the end, Hong Lie had eaten his own words and decided to kill Qin Feng.

    Though Hong Lie was killed deservingly in the end, it was still a humiliation to He Liming.

    ¡°Beep!¡±

    Qin Feng received a call from He Liming not long after. He was expecting it and answered swiftly.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, I am sorry for the debacle. If I knew Hong Lie was such a person, I would never have vouched for him!¡±

    Qin Feng smirked and said, ¡°I hope this would clear things up. I am worried that you might think that I didn¡¯t honor our agreement after your intervention. I at least owe you an exnation.¡±

    ¡°Completely understandable. This is clearly not your fault but Hong Lie¡¯s. I will punish him ordingly if he survives. If he is dead, then he has asked for it.

    He Liming was on the lower end here. He understood that he now owed Qin Feng an apology.

    This was not some debt that he could simply write off by apologizing. He was forever indebted to Qin Feng now! Hong Lie had indirectly set him up this time.

    They chatted for a while more and hung up. Qin Feng¡¯s fury had calmed down after the call. He looked at the monitor onest time and ordered the crew to sail off.

    Amid the ze, a figure crawled out from the wreckage.

    It was Hong Lie! Hong Lie had survived the attack. Though theser could easily erase any B-tier organism, Hong Lie managed to escape in thest second. The weak shield and his two underlings bought him just enough time.

    He used up all his internal force to protect himself. Though he lived, the attack had nheless damaged his dantian and backtracked his tier by two levels.

 Chapter 572 - A Cold Body

    <h4>Chapter 572: A Cold Body</h4>

    It was a terrible price to pay.

    ¡°Qin Feng!!¡± Hatred shed past his eyes, but it could not diminish the fear in it.

    ***

    Qin Feng learned that Hong Lie was still alive a few days after he returned to Fengli.

    It was not that he did not think of going out there and finishing the job. However, there was much more to consider now that he was in a different position.

    Hong Lie, being a B-tier aptitude user, had a substantial influence as an organization president in the northern region. If he were killed, it would implicate those working under him greatly.

    Qin Feng did not wish to be too assertive. This would not be good for teamwork.

    Well... The word teamwork put a sarcastic smile on Qin Feng¡¯s face.

    Besides, Hong Lie would at least take half a year to recover from the injury he had sustained this time. He would not dare to provoke Qin Feng in such a state.

    Thus, Hong Lie was not Qin Feng¡¯s immediate concern now. He had his mind upied on another matter.

    ¡°Are you sure you got nothing?¡±

    ¡°Well, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe you. But it¡¯s just all too odd!¡±

    ¡°Alright, please continue to keep your eyes open.¡±

    ¡°Goodbye.¡±

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows after hanging up. The phone call he had made was to ask help from Dragon Capital to search for the Z Organization. He did not expect them to turn up empty handed.

    A few thoughts sprung into Qin Feng¡¯s mind rapidly.

    He had not heard of such an organization before he was reborn but mutant experiments carried out by the Dark Coalition had been running rampant recently. Qin Feng clearly remembered the special tattoo on its member, as well as theb at Fu City and the catastrophe at Shadong.

    Suddenly, he had an idea.

    ¡®Perhaps I have been overestimating them? Though it¡¯s easy for Dragon Capital to investigate the underground organization, their sights are usually set on those B-tiers or above! The Z Organization might not have grown into that just yet. They could be a dangerous force in the future, but right now, they are probably just a small faction waiting for the right time to strike.¡¯

    Qin Feng could not shake the Z Organization off his mind ever since he had been reborn. He trusted his own instincts and knew that he must find them.

    He contemted and decided to ask for He Liming¡¯s help. This time, he wanted them to narrow down the search and focus solely on the north.

    In less than half a day, He Liming brought him the news Qin Feng wanted. He Liming had been extremely helpful after the incident with Hong Lie.

    ¡°Governor Qin, I have a few intel regarding the underground organization that may be useful to you.¡± He Liming sent him several documents not long after.

    Qin Feng opened it and smiled satisfyingly.

    ¡°So, they are hiding in Xue Yuan all this while?¡±

    ¡°I believe so. Numerous organizations from the Dark Coalition have been active around the area recently. Fights broke off sparsely but did not alert the Human Alliance since that ce is awless zone, to begin with. But they have indeed grown more arrogant recently by openly practicing hical experimental trials on human subjects.¡± He Liming exined to Qin Feng while disying a friendly smile. ¡°Are these people and information the ones you are looking for?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s more than I have asked for. Thanks a lot, General He. This is extremely important, to me at least.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it.¡±

    ¡°Are you still overseeing the rebuild of Beihua? I have a small business going on there. I will ask someone to send you a small gift.¡±

    ¡°Sure, sure! Thank you!¡±

    They ended the conversation on a high note. Qin Feng then arranged for someone to deliver the gift to He Liming¡¯s residence. It was just a small gaea crystal the size of a cobblestone. However, this material was getting rarer and rarer now. Even Xu Qing had been exploring the crystal mine for months now, indicating just how valuable the crystal had be.

    He Liming did not have otherworldly strength but Qin Feng was fond of his demeanor and well-establishedwork.

    ¡®Perhaps I can recruit He Liming under my wing in the future.¡¯

    He Liming would be baffled if he knew what Qin Feng was thinking. A C-tier was plotting to have a B-tier as his future subordinate. Qin Feng was probably the only one with such an ambitious vision.

    Of course, Qin Feng did not act too imprudently. His interest now was entirely on the new information He Liming had supplied him.

    The organization currently resides in Xue Yuan State. They had been running multiple illegal experiments there to mutate human subjects, who were originally aptitude users of the Human Alliance.

    ¡®Xue Yuan is an even poorer ce than the Sun cities.¡¯

    But when Qin Feng thought about the giant beast that had given birth to Bai Li, things seemed to be moreplex than he thought.

    ¡®An elect that could capture such a powerful spatial monster would not be just a random John Doe living in such a slump.¡¯

    Besides, this Z Organization had been a little too resourceful, judging by how seamless their infiltration was into the Three Cities along the Sun, the Four Cities of North Sea, and now Xue Yuan state.

    ¡®It¡¯s best for me to go and check this out myself.¡¯

    Qin Feng departed immediately with little hesitation.

    ***

    It was the end of December. The more northern he went, the chiller it got. In Xue Yuan, half of the time in a year was spent in a snowy season.

    Even the convenient hover copter could hardly enter this ce.

    ¡°Such an ideal ce to hide the filth. It¡¯s so white on the surface but underneath it, everything is pitch ck,¡± Bai Limented softly. She was staring outside the windows with brooding eyes.

    At the same time, numerous people outside the car were trying to peek in.

    ¡°Sigh. A blizzard would cover up all the tracks. Pretty convenient for them.¡± Qin Feng resonated with Bai Li¡¯s words and scanned the surroundings.

    They had arrived in a very poor colony. Inparison, this ce was even worse than in Han Town. Qin Feng did not see any stabilizer around.

    What was this nonsense?

    Qin Feng also did not find any F-tier aptitude users in the crowd. Most of them were the poorest of the poor. The few rare G-tier aptitude users had be the indisputable overlord in this town.

    It was more like a vige built by refugees rather than a colony.

    There were only two cities in Xue Yuan state. One was known as Xue Yuan city, the other Winter Fort. The two cities were linked by a central highway. This highway was vital for Xue Yuan state as it was the only way the state was connected to the outer world. As such, it had unfortunately be a robbery hotspot targeted by the Dark Coalition.

    Eventually, aptitude users from the dark force and humans abducted by them from Xue Yuan or other ces began to gather around the highway and form a vige.

    This was the third vige they had passed through.

    Outside the window, a strong man hauled a shabby boy passed their hover craft. The sign of life had forgone the kid and ayer of frost could be seen on his face.

    The kid was dead. He had been killed by the merciless cold.

 Chapter 573 - An Unforgiving Land

    <h4>Chapter 573: An Unforgiving Land</h4>

    The man was ecstatic. He had probably found his lunch for today.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes grew colder than the blizzard currently ravaging the vige.

    It had been a while since Qin Fengst witnessed such a cruel scene.

    He had long lost touch with the bottom ss of the society after rising through the ranks meteorically in this second life.

    The only resolve these foragers in the wild had in order to survive, when there was no food during the winter, was cannibalism.

    There was no disgust or protest raised. People around here had gotten used to such a scene.

    More so, they were actually envying the guy. He had found a few kilos of meat to feed himself in the next few days.

    Qin Feng remained emotionless and stopped his car in front of a hostel.

    The high-ss Silver Bolt was close to a mythical presence to the vigers. They could not move their eyes away from the car as soon as it entered the area.

    Moreover, a few of them were already plotting to steal the hovercraft once Qin Feng had entered the hostel. They would do it even if it meant that they have to lift it with bare hands.

    Too bad for them, the car immediately vanished in front of Qin Feng after he lifted his hand.

    ¡°Aptitude user?¡±

    ¡°He has spatial equipment that could fit in a hovercraft?! How big would that be?¡±

    ¡°Where did this electe from?¡±

    Everyone fixed their sights on Qin Feng and Bai Li. The two were both wearing a thick windbreaker with their faces hidden under a scarf and hat. They did not see any aptitude user badges on them.

    Qin Feng purposely hid his badge to avoid unnecessary attention. With his young look and concealed aura, he looked at best an E-tier aptitude user.

    But this was already frightening enough to amoner.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li stepped into the hostel. The first floor was a restaurant but there were no customers there.

    They walked to the counter and saw a fortyishdy curled behind the front desk. She was very skinny and looked pale. Qin Feng reckoned she probably weighed less than eighty pounds.

    Qin Feng frowned and said, ¡°I need a room.¡±

    Thedy looked up sheepishly. It was a troubling sight that made people ufortable.

    ¡°Outsiders? Do you have food?¡± The owner asked.

    Qin Feng nodded. A lot of ces, especially rural areas, were still practicing the barter system. ¡°How much is it?¡±

    ¡°Ten-kilogram rice or twenty-pound frozen meat for one night.¡±

    Qin Feng took out a sealed bag. It was sophisticatedly made and the brand on it read ¡°Feng Li¡±.

    It was a pack of 10 kg of rice produced by Fengli Cty.

    Thedy owner was baffled as she had never seen such a beautifully packaged food in her entire life. She studied the package closely and managed to find the opening after a while. Revealed in her eyes was appetizing white rice instead of the rotting, second-grade product mixed with rocks she usually received.

    She immediately put on a smile and resealed the package. She hid the rice carefully under the desk and took out a set of keys, then led Qin Feng and Bai Li up to the second floor.

    Qin Feng was surprised to see that the ce was still using old-fashioned keys instead of a key card.

    Nevertheless, the room was okay considering how under-developed this ce is. The warmth of the room made them slightly morefortable than when they were outside.

    Of course, Qin Feng would not use the things prepared by the owner. Bai Li had already taken out and changed the bedsheet.

    The owner left them quickly. She probably could not wait to get a taste of the delicious rice from Fengli.

    ¡°Well, there goes my informant,¡± Qin Feng said.

    Bai Li removed the scarf and unveiled her beautiful face. ¡°Perhaps it would be better once we get into the city. We can go to the bounty hunter club and gather information there.¡±

    ¡°Hmm. You are probably right. Let¡¯s rest for a while before we depart again.¡±

    Though the weather had minimal effect on them, they had not rested well in the past two days. They had been on the road for an extended period of time and the cramped space of the hovercraft hardly provided anyfort.

    But before he got to lie down, ady¡¯s shriek and a man¡¯s cursing noise was heard from downstairs. Qin Feng furrowed his brows impatiently. Just as he wanted to block off the noise with his consciousness, he heard hurried footsteps approaching from the corridor.

    Knock! Knock! Knock!

    Qin Feng held Bai Li down. ¡°I will answer the door.¡± He opened the door and saw a weathered man at the door. He was overdoing his ttering smile.

    ¡°Do you wish to have dinner?¡±

    Qin Feng looked at him coldly. ¡°Are you the owner?¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes. I am the owner of this ce,¡± The person answered quickly.

    Qin Feng snorted and asked, ¡°What dinner do you serve here?¡±

    ¡°We have braised pork, ribs...¡±

    ¡°Braised what?¡±

    ¡°Pork!¡±

    Qin Feng was enraged and spoke grimly, ¡°I believe you are using human meat instead of pork meat!¡±

    The middle-aged man was the guy Qin Feng had seen dragging a boy¡¯s corpse earlier.

    Qin Feng did not care how they lived their life but he could not tolerate them trying to deceive him.

    They must have lived for too long!

    He released some of his internal power and the minute amount was enough to terrify themoner in front of him.

    The guy felt the pressure and knelt down involuntarily. He asked for mercy, ¡°Sorry! Please forgive me!¡±

    Qin Feng kicked the man and he was sent flying to the staircase at the end of the corridor. He might not die immediately but would not live past three days.

    Qin Feng did not immediately kill the man because he did not want trouble. He would be long gone by the time the man was dead.

    The so-called owner held his belly in pain and ran down the stairs hastily.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li managed to get some good sleep after that.

    The owner dared not show up the next day. Only thedy owner came out and saw them out with a smile. She had clearly been beaten and one of her front teeth was gone. It was hard not to pity her.

    ¡®People here are as unforgiving as the harsh environment!¡¯ Qin Feng sympathized with them but this is their reality. The choice was not on them to be born in this abysmal era.

    Just when they were about to leave, a series of quakes could be felt.

    ¡®Mutated beast?¡¯ Qin Feng tensed up.

 Chapter 574 - I Will Spare Your Life

    <h4>Chapter 574: I Will Spare Your Life</h4>

    His doubt was made clear once Qin Feng expanded his consciousness.

    He could ¡°see¡± what had caused themotion.

    There were a total of twelve aptitude users outside. All of them are gunners.

    The leader was an F-tier while the others were G-tier. They were all riding on a ferocious beast found only in Xue Yuan¡ªSnow Bear.

    The beast resembled the wolf Qin Feng had encountered in Chengbei before.

    The giant Snow Bear was three-meter tall when standing straight. They still measured about one and a half meters even when they were crawling on four feet.

    The bear had probably either been domesticated or contracted. They leaned down obediently with a heavy saddle ced on their backs.

    The aptitude users must have ridden on these bears to move around the snowy forest. This might be more convenient and faster than a normal car. But it was still iparable to a hovercraft.

    It was possibly the mostmon transportation in this state.

    This group had a wind mask on and uniformly wore a custom-made white battle suit. They appeared to be well-trained armed troops.

    All the vigers went into hiding as soon as the troop arrived.

    ¡°Eh?¡± Qin Feng scanned them with his consciousness and finally ¡°saw¡± themunicator exposed on one of the soldier¡¯s cuffs.

    ¡°People from the Dark Coalition!¡±

    Themunicator of the Dark Coalition was easily distinguishable from that of the Human Alliance.

    No wonder the vigers hid in panic.

    Qin Feng, in contrast to those vigers, was happy with their arrivals. He finally picked on the trail of the Dark Coalition after so many days.

    These low-tier aptitude users were unaware of Qin Feng¡¯s powerful consciousness and walked brazenly into his vision.

    ¡°Crap, it¡¯s the War Bear!¡±

    ¡°Hei Xiong* is here. Hide, quickly!¡±

    ¡°Dang it! Why are they here again so soon? I thought they had juste five days ago?¡±

    ¡°To the cer, quick!¡± The vigers bolted.

    Even though there were F-tier or G-tier aptitude users in this vige, none of them would stand up and fight for the people. It was ridiculous to Qin Feng how a vige of three thousand people had submitted to fear of a mere twelve men.

    It was pathetic. Qin Feng had no sympathy for those who refused to fight for themselves.

    The leading man opened up his wind mask. Heughed hideously as he saw that the vigers were running and hiding.

    ¡°Where are you guys running to? Hand over ten women now and I will leave in peace. Besides, surrender any valuables you have and don¡¯t try to hide it. You will be doomed if I am to find it out myself.¡±

    Qin Feng could feel the unrest among the vigers. Those families with female members were especially terrified.

    ¡°Haha! How rude for leaving me out here in the cold. If nobodyes out, I will ask my hungry bear here to go in and drag you all out one by one instead!¡±

    Hei Xiong tapped the Snow Bear beside him. The Snow Bear roared in response, disying the munched flesh still remaining in its mouth.

    It could be any type of meat. But in the eyes of the freaked out vigers, those were most probably human fleshes.

    Amid the silence, a person finally picked up enough courage and walked out. The person was a G8-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°Master Hei Xiong, please at least give us some time to fulfill your demand. Why don¡¯t you go to Li Qi¡¯s shop and rest while we are preparing?¡±

    ¡°Ah! Zhang Chuan! It¡¯s you. You are a smart guy. Why don¡¯t youe and work for me? I guarantee it will be ten times better than staying in this sh*thole!¡± Hei Xiong peeked at the G8-tier aptitude user.

    The aptitude user called Zhang Chuan was terrified and replied timidly, ¡°This lifestyle suits me more. I have little ambition and am content as long as I have enough to feed myself. This way, Master Hei Xiong.¡±

    ¡°Haha. Indeed, what else could you dream for in this slum? What a pity that you are always the one getting scolded and mocked at!¡±

    Zhang Chuan did not say anything but grimaced. ¡®Aren¡¯t you the main source of my misery?¡¯

    Led by Zhang Chuan, they walked down the main road and soon arrived at the only hostel in town. This was where Qin Feng lived.

    Li Qi was the owner of this hostel but unfortunately for him, he would be unable to wee his customers today.

    As they approached the hostel, an urgent chirping sound was suddenly heard from Hei Xiong¡¯s waist.

    Hei Xiong and the others were baffled. They had never heard and did not expect the little thing to ever shrill so desperately.

    The little creature hanging on Hei Xiong¡¯s waist was a unique beast. It was difficult to catch and was known as Silverthread Mouse. The small beast waspletely white with a silver line running down its spine.

    This mouse was extremely weak but had been surviving the unforgiving frost in for decades. They were extremely sensitive to powerful beasts and would shrill when they sense one nearby, including the remains of a dead beast.

    Hence, this mouse could be used to detect danger in the wild or search for valuable beast materials in a settlement.

    Hei Xiong was excited by the mouse¡¯s edginess. ¡°Well, well, well! It seems there¡¯s some good stuff in this ce after all!¡± Hei Xiong stepped into the hostel as he spoke and saw Qin Feng and Bai Li in there.

    ¡°Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!¡± The Silverthread Mouse shrilled even louder. The little mate was terrified.

    Bai Li was intrigued and looked at the mouse curiously. The mouse inside the cage could not bear the look and dropped dead instantly.

    It had been frightened to death.

    The Silverthread Mouse was hardly a G-tier beast. It had little power but was extremely sensitive to it. The mental shock it suffered locking sights with a C6-tier beast emperor was understandable.

    But Hei Xiong paid little attention to the miserable fate of his little pet. He, too, could barely move when he saw Bai Li.

    Bai Li did not belong to this dump.

    She had long silver hair that ran down to her shoulder, with a small red hat lying tidily on top of it. There was a white scarf wrapped around a neck. She was wearing a trendy coat of unknown materials. Her hands and feet were covered with leather gloves and boots, respectively. Coupled that with her beautiful face, it made her look like a painted figure rather than a real person.

    Such graceful appearance and demeanor were hard to resist, especially to a male.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Qin Feng snorted and stood in front of Bai Li. This was clearly to obstruct Hei Xiong¡¯s line of sight.

    Hei Xiong stared at Qin Feng angrily for his provocative action. He measured Qin Feng¡¯s attire and recalled the mouse¡¯s desperate shrill from earlier. ¡°Yo, a visitor from outside?¡±

    ¡°None of your business,¡¯ Qin Feng answered coldly.

    Hei Xiong was even more infuriated.

    ¡°Boy, know your ce. Surrender your valuables now and I will spare your pitiful life. You have your beautiful girlfriend over there to thank for my generosity.¡±

    *Trantor Note: Hei Xiong (ºÚÐÜ) in Chinese means ck bear.

 Chapter 575 - Warming Up

    <h4>Chapter 575: Warming Up</h4>

    ¡°Ah!¡± Qin Feng gave him an enigmatic smile and raised his chest like he was facing grave danger. ¡°Are you from the Dark Coalition? Don¡¯t you dare put your filthy hands on my girlfriend!¡±

    Qin Feng pumped his fist like an inexperienced adolescent.

    Hei Xiong was amused andughed mockingly.

    Zhang Chuan was anxious but he could not use telepathy to warn Qin Feng. He could only alert Qin Feng quietly by blinking his eyes repeatedly.

    Qin Feng had of course seen it but ignored him. This made Zhang Chuan even more nervous.

    ¡°Master Hei Xiong, judging by their outfit, they perhapse from arge city or a powerful backing. Better not to be too harsh on them,¡± Zhang Chuan advised.

    ¡°Powerful backing? What¡¯s their dealing to this small ce then? I don¡¯t care who the hell his father is. This is my ce and anyoneing here must bow to me!¡±

    Hei Xiong pushed Zhang Chuan away with his huge hand. His strength was greater than expected.

    Indeed, Hei Xiong was a gunner that should have little physicality.

    Nheless, though most resources in this state were hidden underneath the thick snow, it was still possible to improve drastically if one could dig it out. Over the years, Hei Xiong had managed to loot many materials either from the wild or robbed from the vigers. Hence, he was able to bulk up and he was pretty proud of it.

    All of a sudden, thedy owner suddenly yelled, ¡°Mater Hei Xiong, this kid is indeed rich. He paid yesterday¡¯s fees with ten kilograms of well-refined rice!¡±

    Bai Li looked at thedy owner puzzlingly, ¡°Why did you say that?¡±

    Bai Li did not understand thedy owner¡¯s logic but Qin Feng knew the reason behind it. An unfortunate person would sometimes develop an abominable side.

    ¡°Don¡¯t need to be bothered by her,¡± Qin Feng told Bai Li through their mental link.

    Qin Feng knew well that thedy held a grudge against them because she was beaten up for hiding the rice from Li Qi. She did not think she did anything wrong so the outlet of her hatred naturally fell on Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Besides, she wished to please Hei Xiong, hoping that thetter might reward her for the information she had given voluntarily.

    It was aughable thought. Amoner would never understand the world of aptitude users.

    Hei Xiong never had an interest in his rice. His aim was on the treasure Qin Feng might have¡ªthe one that had the Silverthread Mouse tremble and chirp in fear. That was the reason Hei Xiong was being so oppressive. Even Bai Li was only a supplementary reward to him.

    ¡°Stop bull-sh*tting. Let me see whether your bones are as tough as your words!¡±

    Hei Xiong stepped forward as he spoke and punched Qin Feng on the face.

    Qin Feng evaded dexterously. Hei Xiong¡¯s punches were aggressive but it could not catch Qin Feng at all. He threw his punches more desperately and his face turned grimmer.

    ¡°F*ck this!¡± Hei Xiong cursed and drew his gun. The ck nozzle aimed right at Qin Feng. ¡°Evade this, mother*cker!¡±

    A shot was fired from the nozzle.

    Boom!

    The loud gun noise shook the entire vige. Everyone was hiding in the dark but they shared the grieve. Another soul had fallen to the gun of the cruel bear.

    Unbeknownst to them, nobody was killed.

    In the hostel, Qin Feng had his palm raised up. A distorted bullet was stopped short in between his index and middle fingers. It was the bullet shot by Hei Xiong.

    Qin Feng then spun his fingers slightly and the bullets instantly turned into ashes.

    Everyone on the scene was bbergasted.

    Qin Feng stopped his faking and returned to his calm,posed self. His eyes were sharp and his posture no longer looked tensed or threatened. The imposing aura around him as an elect was at full disy.

    ¡°That was a good warm-up,¡± Qin Feng said leisurely.

    Warm-up? He was only warming up?

    Hei Xiong suddenly realized this would not end up good for him.

    Catching a bullet with bare hands and disseminating it with only a slight twitch were obviously skills that belonged only to an elite ancient warrior.

    ¡°What are you saying? Who are you?¡±

    Hei Xiong was stuttering out of distress.

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°Me? I am just a passerby.¡±

    That was not the answer Hei Xiong was expecting. He was asking for Qin Feng¡¯s identity and tier.

    Obviously, Qin Feng would not tell him.

    At the same time, Qin Feng flicked his finger and a dark me promptly appeared. The fire caught on Hei Xiong instantly.

    ¡°Ability user!¡± Hei Xiong eximed as Zhang Chuan watched in terror. The other gunners were terrified and backed off.

    These gunners were, in fact, lousy fighters. They were only slightly better than themoners after receiving the awakening shot. They used guns and contracted beasts to oppress the weak but did not actually have much battle experiences.

    Right now, they were traumatized by Qin Feng¡¯s fire. None of them took out their guns to retaliate.

    The me was small at first but burned ferociously once it caught onto Hei Xiong.

    Poof! Hei Xiong was wrapped in a ze and wailed in horror. He tried to tap out the fire but to no avail.

    ¡°Get out of my way!¡± Hei Xiong pushed hisrades away and rushed out of the hostel frantically. He rolled on the snow but was still unable to put out the fire.

    It was Qin Feng¡¯s hellfire, after all. It would not go away this easily

    The remaining gunners stared at Qin Feng warily. They bolted for the main door as Qin Feng began to march toward them.

    Qin Feng stopped at the front door and watched Hei Xiong roll around in mes.

    He raised his hand to retract the fire. The shirt on Hei Xiong had been burnt away, but his body remained uncharred.

    Hei Xiong looked at himself and was dumbfounded.

    ¡®I am still alive? How is this possible? The burning pain was real! Perhaps his ability is rather weak?¡¯ Hei Xiong looked at Qin Feng and did not know how to judge this mysterious outsider.

    This was when Qin Feng turned his hand and used the pulling force of Asteroid Assimtion to roll Hei Xiong over. He then frowned.

    ¡®This moron doesn¡¯t have it!¡¯

    Qin Feng was not showing off his ability. He burned away Hei Xiong¡¯s clothes on purpose to check whether he had the unique tattoo of the Z Organization on his neck.

 Chapter 576 - Leading The Way

    <h4>Chapter 576: Leading The Way</h4>

    Obviously, Hei Xiong did not have anything to do with the Z Organization, he was merely an ordinary gunner that took advantage of his capability to bring gangsterism to the area.

    Qin Feng was not disappointed either, as he was about to show the tattoo and ask Hei Xiong about it, he was struck by an idea and asked, ¡°Do you wish to live?¡±

    The offer had definitely prompted Hei Xiong, who was still trembling from Qin Feng¡¯s overwhelming capability, with a moment of realization.

    It was not that Qin Feng was not powerful enough, he was just being kind enough to spare his life!

    ¡°Master, it was my fault for not recognizing your mighty status!¡± Hei Xiong immediately kneeled down to beg for mercy and stopped acting tough, despite not knowing the true capability of Qin Feng, it was already intimidating enough to force him to conform to it.

    ¡°Well, recently, I am interested in a special medication, why not lead the way, and I will spare your life, how about that?¡±

    ¡°A special medication?¡± Hei Xiong was puzzled and shifted his vision toward Bai Li.

    Could it be that this aptitude user was facing problems in those areas? Was he looking for some medication to spice things up?

    His expression was unusual while the others in the surroundings also gave Qin Feng their weird stares.

    ¡°Well, Master, those medications that you need, I will get them for you right now, would you prefer a stronger dosage, or mild and non-harmful ones?

    The edges of his mouth twitched as Qin Feng realized that it was an awkward misunderstanding!

    ¡°I am looking for a medication that will promote mutation within aptitude users!¡± Qin Feng answered in a cold tone.

    Hei Xiong was struck dumb by the demand and tried to avoid direct eye contact with Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng sneered and continued, ¡°Seems like you do know the ce!¡±

    ¡°Well, Master, are you nning to siege them?! But there are powerful aptitude users among them, there might be presence of D-tiers that are equivalent to the duke of the Xue Yuan State!¡±

    Hei Xiong¡¯s fear was revealed as he described the presence of the duke, as it was impossible for him toe into contact with such mighty figures.

    ¡°Stop the nonsense, you just need to lead the way, why do you care about the things that will happen next?¡±

    ¡°Ah, yes, yes!¡± Hei Xiong was forced to bite the bullet and agree to the demand.

    Qin Feng saw that Hei Xiong had agreed to his demand, however, there was no immediate action from him, as Qin Feng raised his hand, mes were sted and pierced through the main entrance of the hostel and shot into it.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    A miserable shriek was heard andsted for a split second before the scene became absolutely quiet, however, every gunner that was capable of extending their conscious energy sensing to more than thirty meters had scouted on the situation and knew what had happened.

    Thedy boss of the hotel was struck by the mes and burnt into ashes.

    It had only taken a second for it to happen!

    It was too fast!

    The crowd was struck dumb and cold chills went down their spines as they were intimidated by Qin Feng¡¯s threat and showcase of power, meanwhile, it was also the price that thedy boss had to pay for betraying Qin Feng.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go! Lead the way!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand and summoned the Silver Bolt, and the appearance of such a luxurious looking hover car had further showcased Qin Feng¡¯s distinct status.

    Bai Li went into the co-driver seat while Qin Feng opened the door for himself, the gunners from the Dark Coalition trembled in fear as they stepped onto their own Snow Bears.

    Qin Feng seemed to have recalled something and looked toward Zhang Chuan.

    Zhang Chuan was alerted and immediately answered, ¡°Thank you, Master, I have not gotten your name yet, and be assured that your kind act will be repaid in the future!¡±

    Qin Feng remained unbothered and answered calmly, ¡°You do not need to know my name, however, an advice from me would be, if you wish to safeguard a ce, brace through and bear all consequences. If this ce means nothing to you, leave as soon as possible to raise your capability, it would be worth much more than wasting your effort! Perhaps, yearster, you might also be a mighty presence to take control of this small vige, by then, nobody would dare toe over to rob anymore!¡±

    Qin Fengpleted his words and finally entered into the hoverbat car, while Hei Xiong and the others were already on their Snow Bears, and they departed from the little unknown vige.

    Only Zhang Chuan was left behind, standing on the same spot like he had been struck dumb.

    ¡°Why would you speak so kindly to him?¡± Bai Li looked at Qin Feng as she was puzzled by his act of kindness, he had never treated any strangers so kindly before.

    Of course, Qin Feng was extremely generous toward his own people, after all, it was them that had helped him a lot to earn his huge amount of fortune.

    However, he would be very calctive toward strangers, and would not be bothered with any of their matters, except for those ordinary people that had zero threats.

    ¡°Well, he will be a powerful figure in the future!¡± Qin Feng chuckled and answered.

    Qin Feng did not expect to meet Zhang Chuan in such a small area, however, Zhang Chuan, the so-called powerful figure, was an extremely powerful B6-tier before his rebirth, he was at least on par with the capability of an emperor. While being stationed at the Xue Yuan state, he had then be the governor of the state and had even cooperated with Qin Feng to resist against the Xue Yuan ultra beast wave.

    However, he seemed to have just been awakened for two years, and was still nning to protect his birthce vige.

    ¡°If he were to leave there now, perhaps there might be leftover potential that could allow him to rush and achieve A-tier, however, it is all his own decision to make!¡±

    ¡°I do not understand at all!¡± Bai Li was confused and continued with another question, ¡°Why would thedy boss voice out on us; we were not threatening her at all!¡±

    ¡°She...¡±

    Qin Feng smiled and exined the nature of the human psychological patterns to Bai Li.

    Bai Li would eventually have to be exposed to the truths and lies of the humans.

    Despite her powerful capability, Bai Li was still vulnerable to the pretentious humans.

    Then, conversations of two people from outside the hoverbat car was heard, while several gunners were riding on their Snow Bears as they stormed through the piles of snow.

    Some would be envious, looking at the hoverbat car that was closely following behind, however, it was like a glorious looking sword hanging by the neck, and it was ready to cut down at any time.

    They were all forced to speed up in their travel and had to take on routes that would usually be avoided by other aptitude users.

    They have diverted from the main pathway and entered into a stretch of snow mountain region.

    From the two hours of rushing, all of them were short of breath.

    Initially, they had already arrived at the vige that Qin Feng was at, Hei Xiong and the others were thinking of looting the ce and enjoying themselves. However, they were not allowed to have any food or drinks, they had to continue with their journey past noon, the bunch of G-tiers and the F-tier were starving.

    ¡°Faster, we are just an hour away!¡±

    Hei Xiong and the others made haste, in their minds, they were nning to send the youngsters into the hands of the powerful ones, and they would be able to redeem their revenge.

    However, Hei Xiong was being careful to not spoil his n, an hourter, all of them stopped, hence, Qin Feng¡¯s hover car had also stopped.

    ¡°Master, the assembly point of the influential parties in the area is just right in front, it would be better to not drive there, and themunicator of the Human Alliance, put them away, they can¡¯t be discovered!¡±

    ¡°Hmm!¡±

    Qin Feng agreed and got down from the car, and switched to themunicator that he had used in the Dark Coalition.

    Bai Li had also found herself her recementmunicator. Furthermore, she had also shrouded herself in a dark cape to look secretive and to hide herself, among the dark influences, it was normal to appear in such attire!

 Chapter 577 - Traces and Clues

    <h4>Chapter 577: Traces and Clues</h4>

    Then, the crowd continued to move forward. With their traveling speed, Qin Feng and Bai Li left no traces on the snow path, and they were even traveling faster than Hei Xiong and the others.

    Soon, they had arrived at the entrance of a cave among the snowy mountain ranges.

    It was a secretive entrance led by twisted paths, where people from the Xue Yuan state, aptitude users from two of the major cities, and even the bounty hunters would avoid sieging!

    Qin Feng followed and walked into the cave, the surrounding was pitch-ck at the beginning, after some careful meandering for more than thirty meters, a shiny fluorite had appeared.

    Fluorite was a rare self-illuminating stone, a cheap item that was mostly used for lighting purposes.

    Meanwhile, the wall around the cave was embedded with countless numbers of fluorites that had revealed every part of the inner cave.

    Soon, they had entered a giant cave.

    From the appearance, it was a cave with length of a hundred meters, width of about fifty meters, however it was irregrly structured.

    Both sides of the walls were already rebuilt into towers of houses that were about eight levels in height, the inner structures of the houses were hidden from Qin Feng, however, the environment would not be too bad.

    There was a pathway from the central square that was connected to the end of the cave, and formed into a new cave, one could imagine that there would be another space on the other end.

    With the refined building materials and skills of the earth ability users, it would only take a short amount of time to build such an underground kingdom, however, the number of poptions within had still caught Qin Feng off guard.

    Groups of people circling around were seen on both sides of the path, some had even dominated a ce to disy some of their ability equipment, ultra beast furs, and most of them were spirit herbs.

    ¡°Xue Yuan Ginseng, spirit herbs aged for at least ten years, selling off at three million!¡±

    ¡°F-tier snow lotus, with the lotus seed still intact!¡±

    ¡°Untouchable grass...¡±

    ¡°Heaven Peak Fruit...¡±

    Callings from the sellers were constantly heard, of course, they were all stocked with valuable goods orrge amounts of goods, while most of them remained silent and alert while observing the people in the surrounding.

    ¡°Master, I have sent you the map of this ce, just in case you get lost in here, as this is quite a huge ce!¡±

    Hei Xiong opened hismunicator and transferred a copy of the map to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng took a nce and memorized the map.

    ¡°Hmm, bring me to the potion seller first!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Alright, alright!¡±

    Hei Xiong immediately led Qin Feng into the deeper part of the cave.

    Along the main path, there were several other caves that led to different paths, all of them were streets that looked alike, however, all of them served different purposes.

    Bai Li sniffed under the cape, as she was very sensitive toward spirit herbs, she was able to identify all of the herbs that were sold there. However, none of them were quality goods, and she immediately covered her mouth in dissatisfaction.

    Everyone was moving fast for the past ten minutes; however, they had only arrived at one of the caves, and surprisingly, it was a concave-shaped cave centered by a square of fifty meters in diameter, surrounded by rings of stairs, or perhaps, they were seats.

    A bunch of people was seated while surrounded by erged screens in the surroundings.

    It was a... battle arena!

    Qin Feng identified the situation.

    Then, Hei Xiong lowered his voice and pointed toward a far direction where the bet station was located.

    ¡°This ce is governed by Genesis, they are one of the most influential parties on the outer region of Winter Fort, we were told that their strongest alliance leader is a D-tier aptitude user, very powerful!¡±

    Qin Feng did not give any answer, if it was merely a D-tier aptitude user, he would not even be bothered.

    ¡°Are they selling those potions?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°They won¡¯t sell it to just anyone, as everyone knows that despite the strong effects of the potion, it also has its side effects, and using it will eventually cost lives!¡± Hei Xiong warned.

    Qin Feng nodded, he realized that not every member of the Dark Coalition were imbeciles. Although the potion would enable powerful capability enhancement, it would also consume the life of its own user.

    Also, not everyone would be willing to turn themselves into a half-beast human creature!

    Hei Xiong continued, ¡°However, there are pros and cons, the powerful effect of consuming the potion would secure the entry requirement to join Genesis, which is a great opportunity, look at that person down there, a member of the alliance!¡±

    Hei Xiong pointed toward a person who wasbating fifty meters away, it was an F5-tier aptitude user.

    With such capability, it would only require a slight internal strength output from Qin Feng to crush the person to death.

    However, as Qin Feng identified that person with his gaze, he was shocked.

    The capability that the F5-tier aptitude user had was rather violent, however, Qin Feng had noticed something beyond the talent of the aptitude user.

    It was the unique tattoo that was on the neck!

    The tattoo of the Z Organization.

    ¡°Genesis!¡± Qin Feng was struck by the sudden realization.

    Regardless of whether it was the headquarters of Genesis, or if it was another Dark Coalition branch of the Z Organization, finally, there were some clues that they had left behind!

    Furthermore, capability of a D-tier aptitude user would most probably be simr to Yan Fang¡¯s capability before his arrest, or Yan Shuo¡¯s capability after his transformation into a D-tier beast emperor.

    This time, they would not get away from Qin Feng.

    A wild crowd was shouting from below the stage, the name of the F-tier ancient warrior was called out.

    ¡°Kang Lai! Kang Lai!¡±

    Kang Lai was quite talented inbat, and the crowd was not disappointed, explosive attacks and violence that crushed the opponents were seen from his hands that had been constantly switching into wolf ws during the battle.

    However, from the expression of the audience, they were already familiar with the bizarre mutation, including the one that Kang Lai had shown!

    Swoosh!

    A wolf w was shed across the opponent¡¯s chest.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    Kang Lai¡¯s opponent let out a miserable shriek while fresh blood squirted out from the chest, the opponent looked toward the huge chunk of flesh on Kang Lai¡¯s hand and knew that the fate of death had arrived!

    ¡°Ah, don¡¯t kill me, Elder Kang, I¡¯ll give you money, I¡¯ll give you!¡±

    Kang Lai sneered and licked the flesh on his hand, and even tore a piece of flesh and dropped it into his mouth, it was then chewed and swallowed, his eyes were filled with blood-red color and his mighty bearings had even doubled!

    ¡°Hahaha, I would prefer to enjoy the moment when you struggle before death!¡±

    As soon as Kang Lai had ended his sentence, Kang Lai gripped onto his opponent¡¯s throat with his w and slit through it, fresh blood was squirted all around.

    The battle arena was pitch-ck colored, and the blood droplets were soon immersed into the soil on the ground.

    Perhaps, the ck battle arena was formed by the intense blood-red color of blood!

    Kang Lai¡¯s opponent had gradually stopped struggling, and Kang Lai had won the battle.

    The crowd burst into a mixture of cheers and curses, Qin Feng stared at Kang Lai as he directed his sentence at someone else, ¡°Alright, get lost, I¡¯ll spare your life for now, the next time I see you again, I cannot guarantee that I won¡¯t kill you!¡±

    Qin Feng was directing his sentence at Hei Xiong!

 Chapter 578 - Genesis

    <h4>Chapter 578: Genesis</h4>

    It was like a great pardon for Hei Xiong, and he immediately escaped with his people.

    Meanwhile, the battle on the arena had ended, obviously, Kang Lai had killed his enemy and secured the win of the elimination battle.

    As Kang Lai was not participating in the next round of battle, he had then left from the contestant aisle.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng and Bai Li looked toward each other and ck mist lingered around their bodies, however, the spooky scene was hidden from everyone else.

    It was Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability.

    With their poor capabilities, it would be impossible for them to notice Qin Feng¡¯s presence!

    Qin Feng and Bai Li tailed Kang Lai, both of them then disappeared within the cave city that was filled with massive dark influences, it was like their presence had never been noticed by anyone.

    Within a spacious room, Kang Lai was about to wash off the blood smell from his body, he was then blocked by two people that got into his way.

    Instinctively, Kai Lai felt the presence of danger that was closing in, even before he could respond to it, a person who wore a ck cape had appeared, a greater apprehension struck when a pair of glittering silver eyes were revealed.

    ¡°Bring us to the Z Organization!¡± Bai Li instructed.

    Kang Lai¡¯s soul waspletely under control, and despite the shock, his physical and mental response had taken over to give the first reaction.

    ¡°I do not know where the Z Organization is at!¡±

    Bai Li did not wait for Qin Feng to repeat and restated herself, ¡°Meaning to say, you do know about the Z Organization?¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    ¡°How are you rted to them?¡±

    ¡°The Z Organization is the headquarters!¡±

    The answer had triggered Qin Feng¡¯s interest even more to dig deeper into the case.

    Bai Li asked again, ¡°Who is able to contact the Z Organization?¡±

    ¡°Our leader, Chu Thirteen!¡±

    ¡°Great!¡± Qin Fengughed, finally, the true leader will be exposed soon.

    Bai Li nodded and continued, ¡°Bring us to your leader!¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Kang Lai obeyed themand and walked Qin Feng and Bai Li out of the room, and his body movements while walking in front were stiff and awkward.

    Despite the appearance of the cave that seemed to be just a massive battle arena, however, there were intersecting paths hidden on both sides, and it had an extremelypact building structure.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li followed Kang Lai from behind and went deeper into the cave.

    ¡°Since the Z Organization is the headquarters, if their location were to be found, who knows what sort of powerful opponent would appear!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s eyes sparkled, with his current level of internal strength, he was unafraid at all to go against powerful opponents that were much stronger.

    ¡°The Z Organization is really influential!¡± Bai Li added on.

    The main part of the Z Organization was focused in their research works, and they were also expanding their dark influences, simr to when Cheng Ming cooperated with the members from the dark influences, robbers beyond Fu City, and Guo Geng¡¯s Sand Eagle n.

    And now, Genesis was included!

    Qin Feng was amazed by the intertwining and confusing influences.

    Soon, Kang Lai had led Qin Feng before an entrance of a tall tower, two F-tier aptitude users were guarding it, and they were puzzled by Kang Lai¡¯s appearance.

    ¡°Kang Lai, you do not have duty today, why are you here?¡±

    Behind Kang Lai¡¯s glorious achievements and shy appearance, at that ce, he was only assigned to the role of performing patrol and misceneous chores.

    ¡°To meet with the leader!¡± Kang Lai dered.

    Both of the guards burst intoughter.

    ¡°Kang Lai, are you drunk, or are you on drugs?¡± Do you think you can meet with the leader whenever you want?¡±

    ¡°Yes, stop ying the fool, go away, it is inappropriate for you to block the entrance!¡±

    It was at that moment, Qin Feng took a step forward and answered, ¡°It is me, I want to meet with your leader!¡±

    Meanwhile, Bai Li released the restraint that she had forced onto Kang Lai, Kang Lai jumped up immediately and backed away quickly, and was even afraid to look at Bai Li.

    ¡°You guys, who are you?¡± What have you done to me?¡± Kang Lai was shocked, within a split-second thought, he realized the trick that was used on him ¡°Conscious energy control, how could both of you use that against me, what are your intentions?¡±

    Meanwhile, both of the aptitude user guards had sensed that something unusual was happening. With Kang Lai¡¯s reaction, both of them knew that Kang Lai was being controlled by these people, and they were after the location of the headquarters.

    Despite the headquarters of Genesis not being a highly restricted and guarded ce, and its location that was not a secret, the visitors were obviously having hostile intentions in using such a method to track down the location.

    ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Qin Feng sneered and answered, ¡°Just assume that I am a bounty hunter!¡±

    ¡°Bounty... hunter!!!¡±

    Both of the aptitude users had not realized that Qin Feng was there to seek trouble.

    What sort of organization were they? Genesis was an organization with dark influences, whereas the bounty hunters were part of the Human Alliance, and they would set bounty onto crimes.

    Within Genesis, most of them were criminals that had taken more than ten lives of others, therefore, would it not be provoking for the visitor to dere himself as a bounty hunter?

    Both of the aptitude user guards were instantly agitated by it.

    ¡°Little brat, are you tired of living?¡±

    It was extremely offensive to dere the identity of a bounty hunter right in front of the headquarters tower of the Genesis, also, their leader was still sitting right within the building!

    ¡°Kill him, such arrogance, is he digging his own grave?¡±

    Both of the aptitude users were angered and instantly threw out their punches toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng had no interest in entertaining the both of them, he echoed just a tiny bit of his internal strength, and it was already impossible for the aptitude users to withstand it!

    Boom!

    A wave rippled and expanded outward, both of the aptitude user guards were swept by it, both of them were tossed out and their miserable shrieks were heard.

    Crash!

    The ss entrance door was instantly shattered into pieces, it was from the internal strength that had expanded, and not from the energy of two of the aptitude users.

    Both of them were tossed into the lobby of the tower and mmed onto the ground that was covered with an unidentified amount of shattered ss pieces, their bodies were horribly mangled and they were about to die.

    A chaotic scene had instantly erupted within the Genesis tower.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Intruders!¡±

    ¡°Who is that? Who would be so stupid to cause such a mess within the Genesis tower?¡±

    ¡°Ring ring ring...¡±

    A beautiful looking G-tier female receptionist from the front desk of the first floor had immediately triggered the rm, and the surveince room from the tower had activated a simr warning signal.

    ¡°Intruders, quick, first floor lobby!¡±

    Meanwhile, at the first floor, Qin Feng was already surrounded by more than twenty aptitude users.

    Qin Feng activated his internal strength, and the echoed energy had instantly tossed all of them away.

    St!

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    ¡°Ya!¡±

    All of them were tossed and mmed onto walls, counter tops, and tables, they threw up blood and there were no clear signs of survivability.

    The only one that was not affected by the echoed energy was an E-tier aptitude user.

    Qin Feng raised his hand, while his Asteroid Assimtion was activated to explode and draw in suction energy, the E-tier aptitude user was immediately sucked over and held within Qin Feng¡¯s palm.

    ¡°Ah! Let me go! Let me go!¡±

    Despite the well-built physique of the E-tier aptitude user, he was struggling vigorously like a little chick, and was entirely controlled within Qin Feng¡¯s grasp.

    ¡°Your leader, which floor?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    As Qin Feng spoke, he began to churn out his internal strength, the horrifying and threatening energy was overpowering.

 Chapter 579 - Into the Headquarters

    <h4>Chapter 579: Into the Headquarters</h4>

    The E-tier aptitude user did not even know just how powerful Qin Feng was. All he knew was this man was emitting conscious energy that was much more potent and powerful than himself¡­ In fact, this man seemed more terrifying and powerful than their leader.

    ¡°On¡­. On the 8th floor!¡± The E-tier aptitude user instinctively replied.

    ¡°Thanks.¡± Qin Feng nodded satisfyingly and then clenched his fist.

    Crack!

    The E-tier aptitude user¡¯s neck waspletely snapped in under a second.

    Qin Feng threw the corpse to a side, like it was merely garbage, and walked toward the elevator!

    As he was pressing the button, there were people rushing toward him from two sides.

    However, when they saw the numerous corpses lying on the floor, they stopped and dared not move forward.

    ¡°You idiots! Stop him! If he goes up, the leader would hold all of us answerable to this ipetence!¡±

    As their squad leader bellowed angrily via themunicator, these men began to inch forward, thinking that it might be better to try their luck with shing with Qin Feng than invoking their leader¡¯s wrath.

    While waiting for the elevator toe down, Qin Feng took a nce at these men and smirked. ¡°You better note closer if you value your lives!¡±

    There were only a handful of E-tiers amongst these men. Most of them were just F and G-tiers.

    If Qin Feng wanted, he could ughter them by blowing a breath at them.

    Yet, to these men, what Qin Feng said earlier was a provocation.

    ¡°Men, let¡¯s teach this piece of sh*t a lesson!¡±

    One of them yelled out loudly and rushed forward with hispanions.

    As several weapons and powers were shed straight at Qin Feng, Qin Feng did not move an inch at all. These were merely low-tier pawns. He did not even need to use his Dragon Styles to take care of them.

    A smile curved on Qin Feng¡¯s face as he raised his hand. A surge of powerful internal energy burst out of his body, forming several energy des to sh everything around him.

    In an instant, everything within an arm¡¯s reach in front of him was shed!

    ¡°Pffft!!!!!!!¡±

    Necks, chests and heads were cut open before blood started to burst out of the open wounds.

    Thud!

    Eight heads dropped onto the floor!

    The other aptitude users¡¯ eyes were wide open when they saw everything. They could not believe what they had just witnessed.

    ¡°Goddamn you!!!¡±

    An E-tier aptitude user yelled out furiously after seeing Qin Feng killing so many people in one move.

    ¡°Growl!!!!!¡±

    The man¡¯s conscious energy instantly changed as silver hair started to grow out of his body. His ears began to grow longer as his nose was elongated.

    In an instant, this man had morphed into a monster, one with a snow wolf head and muscr body of a man. His knees were curved forward as his feet grewrger and crushed his own shoes.

    ¡°An experimental mutant!¡±

    Not only that, this mutant was emitting a conscious energy that was akin to that of a beast king¡¯s.

    Nheless, an E-tier beast king was still too weak to take on Qin Feng. This beast-man was no threat whatsoever to Qin Feng at all.

    ¡°Roaar!!!¡±

    The Snow Wolf Man let out a furious roar before leaping straight at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng punched out his fist, this time without utilizing any internal energy, with a smirk.

    The Snow Wolf Man was so fast that the other aptitude users could not clearly see his movement. And yet, Qin Feng¡¯s fist stopped mid-air andnded on a huge silhouette. They took another look and realized that his fist hadnded on the Snow Wolf Man earlier.

    Boom!!

    Qin Feng¡¯s fist was punched straight onto the Snow Wolf Man¡¯s stomach. Thetter¡¯s ws were still suspended mid-air, not quick enough to sh downward at his foe.

    ¡°Ugh¡­ Pffft!!¡±

    The Snow Wolf Man threw out blood before Qin Feng raised his leg and kicked the experimental mutant away. In an instant, the mutant¡¯s blood was sprayed onto the ceiling!

    An E-tier beast king experimental mutant, one that had histent gic potential awakened, was in almost instantly by Qin Feng!

    The others were so terrified that their legs were shaking non-stop. They felt as though their legs had turnedpletely limp and dared not move forward again.

    ¡°Ding!¡±

    The elevator had finally arrived.

    Qin Feng turned and looked toward the elevator. As the elevator¡¯s door opened, he could see the people inside too.

    He could feel almost immediately a surge of powerful energy bursting out from within.

    ¡°Pzzt!! Pzzt!!!¡±

    Ray after ray of energy bullets were fired at him as though they were an oing storm! There was no room for evasion at all. And these bullets were fired from dposition sters!

    Qin Feng lightly pinched his conscious energy and formed a barrier in front of him¡ªa barrier that could deflect energies!

    It did not matter if these were dposition sters¡¯ beams. If theynded on this barrier, they would be deflected back to where they came from.

    ¡°Arghh!!!¡±

    The men inside the elevator let out excruciating cries before dropping dead. They did not expect that Qin Feng was not only an ancient warrior but also an aptitude user.

    His barrier was formed so quickly that they could not respond in time.

    ¡°Poof!! Poof! Poof!¡±

    Hence, the men inside the elevator werepletely ughtered as they were dposed into shattering crystals.

    Even though the back of the elevator waspletely dissolved too, the elevator was still functioning.

    Qin Feng stepped into the elevator with Bai Li, who was still wearing her ck robe.

    ¡°Ding!¡±

    Qin Feng pressed on the button ¡°8¡±!

    The aptitude users on the 1st floor could only watch helplessly as the elevator¡¯s door closed up on them.

    Qin Feng was too powerful. To them, this man was something that crept out from a nightmare. There was no way they could hold him off.

    However, the ones at the Genesis¡¯ security center had witnessed what happened via the cameras. The head of the center yelled into the microphone, ¡°Stop him! We can¡¯t let him reach his destination! Stop him!!¡±

    As such, when the elevator reached the 2nd floor, the elevator stopped!

    It was quite obvious someone had controlled it from outside.

    As the elevator door opened, this time Qin Feng was the one inside. He took a look at the ones waiting outside¡ªthese were mere lowly thugs.

    It seemed that they too were prepared to fight him. Some of them were emitting conscious energies simr to that of beast generals and beast kings.

    With a closer look, not one of these people had any traces of human features. Some of them looked like wolves while the others looked like bears. There were also fox people in the crowd too.

    A smile beamed up in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Well, it would appear that we are in the right ce after all. I¡¯m now at the headquarters of the Z Organization!¡±

    Even if this was not the Z Organization¡¯s headquarters, Qin Feng was hoping that he could at least find theirbs.

    Suddenly, the experimental mutants outside of the elevator rushed toward them furiously!

    ¡°Kill!!!¡±

    ¡°I will crush you and feed you to wolves!¡±

    ¡°Die!!!!¡±

    They bellowed angrily as they hurled their sharp ws at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng, again, did not move an inch at all.

    A fox darted toward him with his terrifying energy ws, intending to tear out Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Snap!

    Qin Feng was, unfortunately for him, much faster and grabbed his neck in under a second before snapping it.

    ¡°Roar!!¡±

    An E-tier beast king bear mutant dashed toward Qin Feng with open arms, intending to grab hold of him so he could not move. However, by doing so, his chest was left wide open.

    Qin Feng hurled out his fist.

    Thud!

    Like hitting on a drum, his fistnded on the bear man¡¯s stomach, sounding a loud thud from the punch. Not only that, a powerful energy shaped like a fist burst out from his back as his stomach was hit.

    Qin Feng¡¯s punch was so powerful that itpletely crushed the bear man¡¯s heart!

 Chapter 580 - Pursuing Chu Thirteen

    <h4>Chapter 580: Pursuing Chu Thirteen</h4>

    To Qin Feng, these enemies were just small fries.

    Each one of them wasid waste by him one punch after another.

    As cheers and cries deafened down, everything outside of the elevator was now lying dead on the floor.

    After kicking a corpse out of the elevator, Qin Feng pressed a button to close the door and continued moving upward.

    However, as the elevator reached the 3rd floor, the door opened again.

    Qin Feng started to get impatient after seeing this!

    Meanwhile, the Genesis members who were waiting at the 3rd floor had already caught wind of how the ones at the 2nd floor werepletely wiped out.

    They gulped as they stared at Qin Feng anxiously.

    ¡°Stop him at all cost!¡±

    Suddenly, a loud voice could be heard from theirmunicator. And as they heard this, their faces turned grim.

    They recognized that voice. That was the voice of the leader of Genesis¡ªChu Thirteen!

    They immediately darted toward Qin Feng, seemingly prepared to give their lives away.

    Qin Feng, however, did not intend to waste his time on them.

    ¡°That guy wants to run!¡±

    ¡°Run? He thinks he can get away from me?¡±

    Qin Feng pinched his conscious energy again.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    In an instant, the entire 3rd floor was engulfed by fire! This me was unleashed by a C5-tier ability user. No one was able to endure it!

    ¡°Argh!!!¡±

    As loud excruciating cries echoed on the 3rd floor, the men who intended to ¡°stop Qin Feng at all cost¡± were burned to a crisp, paying a heavy price in their attempts.

    Qin Feng took a look at the elevator¡¯s ceiling and forcefully stepped on the ground!

    Crackkkk!!!

    Qin Feng shot upward midair as the elevator waspletely crushed by the pressure!

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were now running upward in the elevator shaft!

    The elevator, having sustained great damage, plummeted to the ground.

    Booom!!

    A loud noise could be heard below as the elevatornded on the ground.

    Even though it fell from the 3rd floor, it was still quite a distance to fall from above.

    Qin Feng did not pay any attention to the elevator and dashed straight to the entrance of the 8th floor. With a light push, the elevator door was forced open!

    A majestic, golden lobby appeared before him. Several low-tier aptitude users hid away, trying to get out of sight. Some of them even ran down to the lower floors, intending to flee away from Qin Feng.

    Of course, Qin Feng was not interested in pursuing them. They were not his main target.

    Qin Feng activated his Fire Dragon Skill.

    With the support of his tremendous internal energy, Qin Feng was now moving insanely fast.

    ng!!

    A sturdy, metallic door was rammed down! Qin Feng was now in the office of the leader; however, this ¡°Leader of Genesis¡± was nowhere to be found.

    ¡°Over here!¡±

    Bai Li, being a spatial user, was able to locate their target easily. If she wanted, she could reach the target in a wink of an eye.

    ¡°Don¡¯t catch him yet. Let him run and lead us to the big prize!¡±

    ¡°Roger that!¡±

    Bai Li activated her spatial rune equipment and warped them into a tunnel. This tunnel was connected to the office of Genesis¡¯s leader. Usually, one would need to find the secret switch to open the path. It would take a lot of time to find that switch even for a D-tier aptitude user; and by then, Chu Thirteen would have gotten away!

    Chu Thirteen did not expect a spatial ability user to be by Qin Feng¡¯s side though.

    Thus, Qin Feng and Bai Li were able to hop to the tunnel without finding the switch.

    Qin Feng had locked onto Chu Thirteen with his conscious energy!

    This man was a D8-tier aptitude user, making him almost as strong as Yan Shuo. However, Chu Thirteen did not sh with Qin Feng directly. Instead, he opted to flee from him.

    Why? Because Chu Thirteen knew who Qin Feng was.

    The Dark Coalition had always paid close attention to the Human Alliance. Every single prodigy in the Prodigy Tournament was on the coalition¡¯s hit list. The reason being that these prodigies tend to hunt down people in the Dark Coalition for glory, and thus for self-preservation, the Dark Coalition would put their names on the hit list.

    And this year, the Dark Coalition had already gotten intel about Qin Feng. The Human Alliance might not pay much attention to this new prodigy but many from the Dark Coalition had set their eyes on him.

    This young man¡¯s bounty was too high to pass on. This too meant that Qin Feng was a highly dangerous target when faced directly.

    Yet, due to this, Chu Thirteen intended to avoid confrontation with Qin Feng as much as he could.

    ¡°How horrifying! So, this is Qin Feng? I need to hurry! Hurry!!¡± Chu Thirteen kept running faster and faster, fearing for his life.

    Yet, no matter how hard he ran, Chu Thirteen could sense that Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was still haunting him, as though it had now clutched onto him.

    Qin Feng followed Chu Thirteen from behind slowly. There was no rush.

    Yet, he could sense that they were moving upward. This meant that Chu Thirteen was heading outside.

    If that was the case, Chu Thirteen would not be able to outrun Qin Feng. Yet, Chu Thirteen opted to do it anyway. This meant that he was either desperate or there was someone he could ask for help out there.

    Boom!!

    Chu Thirteen rammed open a door. Chilling wind and snow blew right onto his face as he kept dashing forward.

    In the next instance, Qin Feng felt that something was wrong. Chu Thirteen¡¯s presence was now gone!

    ¡°What...?¡±

    Qin Feng was surprised when he realized this. He quickly zipped to the entrance. It was merely three seconds after Chu Thirteen had reached the exit when Qin Feng appeared next to it.

    Leaping out of the exit, he could see nothing but white before him. The exit was right in the middle of a snowy mountain. There was nothing but snow in the area. There was no living creature to be found!

    Chu Thirteen had indeed disappeared.

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned grim after realizing this!

    He did not sense any dark powers in the area. As for the other types of powers, they did not possess stealth capabilities. So, how did Chu Thirteen get away?

    ¡°No, this isn¡¯t it.¡±

    Qin Feng was able to deduce an answer right away.

    If he was a wood ability user, then he would be able to blend in with the trees.

    It was like a water ability user who could run away via the rivers; or the ground ability users who could tunnel away to safety.

    There was nothing but snow in the area. This meant that Chu Thirteen would have merged himself with the snow!

    Without hesitation, Qin Feng activated his runes.

    ¡°Fire Wall!!¡±

    Hellish heat started to rise up as fiery mes started engulfing the surrounding area. Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Wall had set the white snowy scene aze in under a second!

    Boom!

    The snow started to melt as the fire scorched the ground.

    Within a thousand meters, Qin Feng could see a silhouette hiding sheepishly. It was a five-meter Snow Fox!

    ¡°Argh!!!¡±

    The Snow Fox cried out fearfully and started to turn tail. Chu Thirteen¡¯s mutant form was the shape of a fox!

    ¡°Aha! Found you!¡±

    Qin Feng smirked as fiery mes swirled around him.

    Qin Feng stepped out of the Fire Wall and zipped next to Chu Thirteen.

    Chu Thirteen had nowhere to run now!

 Chapter 581 - Z

    <h4>Chapter 581: Z</h4>

    Chu Thirteen let out a frustrating roar as the essence of a beast emperor fumed out of his body.

    Suddenly, dark clouds started amassing above him before arge amount of ice pellets hailed from the dark sky!

    If it was a fight between ordinary C-tiers, Chu Thirteen might actually still have a chance to win and get away. Yet, this time was different¡ªhis opponent was Qin Feng.

    As the ice hail rained from above, the ground was scorched by the Fire Wall. The ice pellets had all melted into steam before they were able to hit the ground despite the fire runes that were now not as charged up like how the Fire Wall was first casted.

    Even though the fighting stage was a snowy mountain¡ªa ce that was supposedly advantageous to Chu Thirteen, his attempt to fight back did nothing to turn the table.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Wall was able to suppress every other power in the surrounding area.

    ¡°Is this all you can do? You disappoint me!¡± Qin Feng was expecting some challenge as he thought that Chu Thirteen had called for help. Yet, all that he did was throw some attacks at him and tried to back away. This meant that there was no helping his way and all he was trying to do was flee!

    ¡°Qin Feng!!!¡± Chu Thirteen roared out furiously. His voice turned into a loud growl that was akin to a fox¡¯s as hepletely formed into a fox. His voice was now sharp and beastly; but his eyes were still sparkling with intelligence.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re now a C-tier champion! What¡¯s so great about hunting a small fry like me, huh? If you want money, I can give you twice the money they are paying you to kill me!¡±

    Qin Feng forced up a smile, seemingly amused by what he said, ¡°You think that I am on your tail because I want to collect your bounty? Seriously?¡±

    ¡°Are you not?¡± A glint of suspicion glinted in Chu Thirteen¡¯s eyes. ¡°If you¡¯re not, then what are you harassing me for? The snowy state of Xue Yuan has limited power and no influence on the world. Since when did we offend the great Governor Qin?¡±

    ¡°Limited power?¡± Qin Feng smirked. ¡°Sure, your Genesis is small fry. Yet, the Z Organization isn¡¯t. Their power and influence have reached far and wide!¡±

    Upon hearing this, Chu Thirteen¡¯s face turned grim. It was difficult for one to see the fear on his face though due to his beastly appearance now. Still, the fear that was drumming in his heart was quite haunting.

    He now knew why Qin Feng came for him!

    When he was learning about Qin Feng¡¯s background, Chu Thirteen knew about the origin of Fengli City. Before the city came to be, the ce was merely a town¡ªShadong Town.

    Someone from within the Z Organization once used this town to run some experiments, stirring a great deal of trouble there. However, they could not run the town down. Instead, they were faced with a surprising counter-attack; and Qin Feng was the catalyst of that counter-attack.

    Of course, Chu Thirteen could not admit to knowing any of this.

    ¡°The Z Organization? What organization is that? I¡¯ve never heard of it. Qin Feng... no, I mean... Governor Qin, I think there must be some mistake!¡±

    ¡°Mistake? Then, please do tell. What kind of drug are you selling, hmm? It¡¯s been half a year since we heard from you people and yet your tech has grown so much¡ªto the point where you¡¯re selling them?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s deduction was on point actually. There were too many experimental mutants that had appeared in Xue Yuan state. Right now, the ck markets in almost every colony were selling these drugs too. And unlike the fatal mutation procedures, most procedures were mostly sessful too.

    ¡°Drugs? If you want, I can supply them to you! For free!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Sure, I¡¯m quite interested in yourb too. Now, if you don¡¯t mind, I¡¯d like you to show me the way to theb!¡±

    Chu Thirteen clenched his teeth after hearing this. From the sound of it, Qin Feng did not believe his feign at all.

    ¡°Qin Feng...!! I¡¯ll never yield to you!¡±

    Chu Thirteen roared out furiously as the fur on his body stood on ends, fuming out terrifying aptitude aura.

    Several powers in the snowy surroundings were immediately activated by Chu Thirteen.

    ¡°How futile!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his arm and called upon a Fire Dragon to strike at Chu Thirteen.

    Chu Thirteen was mortified when he saw this; he quicklymanded the snow in the area to envelop him, forming a protective fortress.

    The snow fortress was shattered almost instantly as the Fire Dragon reached it.

    ¡°Argh!!¡±

    Bounded by the Fire Dragon, Chu Thirteen¡¯s silver fur waspletely burned as he started to lose control of his beast emperor form, slowly morphing back to his human form.

    Now, he waspletely restrained with his clothes almost burnedpletely, his skin almost charred by the extreme heat.

    Without the body of a beast emperor, there was no way Chu Thirteen could withstand Qin Feng¡¯s hellish me.

    Of course, Qin Feng had pulled his punches. Killing Chu Thirteen was so easy that it would have been effortless.

    Qin Feng pinched his conscious energy again.

    ¡°Come back!¡±

    The mes retracted back to between Qin Feng¡¯s brows.

    ¡°Preepzpp!!¡±

    Even though there was still some warmth on the soil, it quickly turned back into its frozen, icy ground after being blown by the freezing winds. However, unlike before, the ce was now scorched ck instead of snowy white.

    ¡°I see, so Mr Chu intends to keep his mouth shut. if that¡¯s the case... Heh!¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    This Genesis leader... he thought he could keep everything a secret?

    ¡°Bai Li!¡±

    ¡°Leave it to me!¡± Bai Li opened up her robe and lowered its hood, intending to walk toward them.

    Suddenly, a freezing wind blew past them before a ck-robed person appeared on the charred ground.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li immediately felt a chill down their spines as they stared at the ck-robed person silently.

    They could not identify this ck-robed person¡¯s power at all from his presence.

    This was quite mortifying. Due to his rich experience, Qin Feng could tell if a person was an S-tier. Yet, this ck-robed person... his presence was so... ordinary. It was as though he was nothing but an ordinary civilian.

    However, he was able to appear out of nowhere instantly.

    There was no way this person could be a powerless civilian.

    Then, the ck-robed person lowered his hood, revealing a youthful face.

    This man was young, probably in his 30s. He had a handsome face, with impable skin and long hair. He looked like an ordinary man that one could find in the midst of the vast poption of a city. Unremarkable and could easily blend in with the public.

    However, it was quite clear that there was something extraordinary about this man. His eyes... they were so mature, like there was a massive, deep pit in them. This man looked like he was much wiser than any old geezer that Qin Feng had met. It seemed that he had been through centuries of pain and suffering to acquire such brilliance and wisdom in him.

    He did not make a sound. However, he was showing great power and presence just by standing there!

    This man must be someone on the top.

    Qin Feng was startled by this man¡¯s presence, putting a hand in front of Bai Li to stop her from stepping forward.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± Qin Feng asked despite not knowing if he would answer him truthfully.

    ¡°Who am I? Well, it¡¯s been so long since Ist introduced myself to someone. So long that I have almost forgotten who I am.¡±

    Qin Feng frowned upon hearing this!

    However, the ck-robed man still answered with a calm voice, ¡°Of course, you could call me Z too.¡±

    ¡°Z!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes widened after hearing this name! His eyes were now locked onto this enigmatic, mysterious man.

    ¡°So, you¡¯re the leader of the Z Organization?¡± Qin Feng did not expect that ¡°Z¡± was a man, not an organization!

    If that was the case, just how powerful was this man? Or, just how impossibly influential was he?

    ¡°Heh!¡± The man nodded. He admitted!

    Qin Feng red at the man sharply. Although he knew that he would sooner orter reach the doors of Z, he did not think that he would reach them this quickly. This made Qin Feng very ufortable.

    However, Qin Feng quickly put these thoughts behind him.

    Before Qin Feng was reborn, he had lived 26 years. He was forced into nightmarish poverty at 16 years of age. All thanks to this man!

    Now that he had found him, Qin Feng wanted some payback!

 Chapter 582 - Zâ€™s Delusion

    <h4>Chapter 582: Z¡¯s Delusion</h4>

    Author¡¯s Note: Thest chapter was changed a little. I felt that as this story¡¯s major Boss character, their previous name was a little bit underwhelming so I¡¯ve decided to go with the codename Z and not use the original name.

    ***

    ¡°Why is it that you are adamant on going against my organization?¡± Z stared at Qin Feng with a pair of deep eyes that seemed to be able to pierce through anything with their gaze!

    Qin Feng sneered and said, ¡°With how your organization is, you still want me to spell it out? You abduct aptitude users for your experiments, you poison whole towns with your toxins and cause the death of tens of thousands of people. How would I not be against this kind of organization?¡±

    ¡°Technology can advance humanity by leaps and bounds, you can¡¯t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs!¡± Z said. ¡°Two hundred years ago, humanity was undergoing rapid development, they destroyed their surroundings, toppled whole forests and that brought them prosperity, then they started to fix the destruction they¡¯ve caused. Isn¡¯t that normal?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression remained unchanged, his voice was as cold as the wind on a snowy mountain.

    ¡°Fix? How? Can a murdered person be brought back? When the world was changed by the Great Rift Age, with the exposure to energy, countless poisons that polluted the world began to mutate. Can that be fixed? If people knew this was going to happen, they wouldn¡¯t have done it in the beginning!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, young man, don¡¯t stop progress just because some people are getting hurt in the process. If not, then how would humanity be able to face off the countless hordes of ultra beasts? When would they find their Immortal?¡±

    Qin Feng waspletely stunned.

    This was the second time he heard something like this from another person.

    The first time ¡®Immortal¡¯ was mentioned was when he faced off against that dragon-borne prodigy in the Perished Lands.

    As for this kind of thing, most people werepletely unaware of it.

    Those who knew this were either someone who had crossed paths with the aliens from the other tribes or an A-tier aptitude user.

    Could Z be an A-tier aptitude user?

    If he was A-tier, then why would he build his bases in backwater states like Xueyuan, Cities along the Sun, or the North Sea?

    These ces did not have a lot of resources.

    But these were not what Qin Feng wanted to know about.

    ¡°You mean, your experiments can produce an Immortal? Don¡¯t kid yourself, transferring the crystal core of an S-tier Beast God into someone¡¯s brain would make them an Immortal?¡± Qin Feng said mockingly but he was also trying to probe for information.

    Zughed as if he had just heard a good joke, shaking his head he said, ¡°What you just said was a failed experiment!¡±

    A failed experiment. Qin Feng¡¯s gaze went over to Thirteen¡¯s body.

    Z did not try to gloss it over and nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. He had always been a failure and that is irreversible!¡±

    On the ground, the dying but not dead yet Thirteen smiled bitterly.

    The reason he was called Thirteen was because he was actually the 13th experiment!

    However, the people present did not let their attention linger on Thirteen for long..

    Qin Feng had a solemn expression on his face as he stared at Z.

    ¡°Then, what is a sessful experiment?¡±

    As he asked, he suddenly thought of Han Nuan and those who survived Shadong Town¡¯s incident.

    It was not clear why, but Z was willing to answer Qin Feng¡¯s question, like a mad scientist excited to show the world his greatest invention.

    ¡°When mankind first entered the new world, it was as the textbooks said. In the beginning of the Great Rift Age, humanity conducted countless experiments and among them were the research on gic mutations. The mortality rate was too high and in the end humanity settled on using the awakening potion. However, the awakening potion also came with a high price!¡±

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows, if the Awakening Potion had any ws, he did not know.

    ¡°The awakening rate!¡± Z said.

    Qin Feng was stunned, he did not expect that answer.

    ¡°The awakening potion strengthens the body, allowing humans to evolve into two major specializations, ability users and ancient warriors. There are also gunners who are the second inparison! The chance of awakening is only one out of ten!¡±

    ¡°By our initial design, abilities and ancient martial arts are powers that could only be used by humans. The awakening rate must be 100%, then humanity can ascend beyond their current state, drive back the monsters and rebuild our home!¡±

    Qin Feng quietly stared at Z. At this time, the man¡¯s eyes were filled with madness that drew out the evil within him like a sinister fountain.

    ¡°What you¡¯re saying ispletely delusional!¡± Qin Feng spat.

    How could there be potions that turned everyone into aptitude users?

    ¡°Delusional? Haven¡¯t you noticed that all the other intelligent species that humanity has encountered aren¡¯t fragile and weak? They¡¯ve had strong bodies from the moment they were born. They¡¯ll inevitably reach a stage in life where their strengths reach an average. The difference lies in whether or not they¡¯re ordinary or a king or an Emperor!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He had never really considered this question before. For example, the Grans were all C-tier but their strengthy in whether or not they were soldier-ranked or king-ranked, so their statuses were different.

    ¡°That doesn¡¯t ount for everything. Maybe there are other races that are the same as us. The human race has an unlimited potential. An Immortal is something that¡¯s one out of a billion!¡±

    Z seemed to look at Qin Feng with admiration. ¡°Then if there weren¡¯t a billion to begin with, how could there be one?¡±

    Qin Feng was left speechless by this.

    It was a question of probability. Everyone knew that the more people there were who were awakened, the higher the chances of stronger people being produced.

    A small ce like Chengyang Colony only had about thirty to fifty people awakened each year. At best they only had about a thousand ancient warriors. It would be impossible for a D-tier to appear within the span of a decade in that ce!

    A ce like the Dragon Capital which had countless strong people, abundant energy and limitless resources could be called the perfect ce! The number of people who awakened there were a hundred times that of Chengyang¡¯s. Just within a month, a D-tier aptitude user would be produced by that ce. Each year, they would produce at least ten A-tiers.

    When Z noticed that Qin Feng had gone quiet, he let out a gloatingugh, ¡°That¡¯s why I want to poprize this potion, though not everyone¡¯s able to handle the potion like I do. Fortunately, 180 years of constant refinement has increased the current sess rate by a huge margin!¡±

    Qin Feng gawked at the man in front of him.

    One hundred eighty years? Is he saying that he¡¯s been experimenting for all this time?

    Was that the man¡¯s age? No, if they started experimenting when they were in their 20s, that meant that this man would at least have to be around two hundred years old.

    That meant this was someone who was the same age as the Dragon Capital¡¯s S-tier, Long Ting.

    That was unbelievable!

    Z seemed to have sensed Qin Feng¡¯s shock and the corners of his mouth began to slightly move upward. ¡°Qin Feng was it? The top prodigy of this year. I believe, based on your power, you can absolutely handle these kinds of potions!¡±

    At this moment, Qin Feng felt chills go down his spine.

 Chapter 583 - Spirit Champion

    <h4>Chapter 583: Spirit Champion</h4>

    Z looked at Qin Feng like how a predator looked at prey, shing a sinister grin from the corner of his mouth.

    That malicious madness of his waspletely exposed.

    Qin Feng could feel the hairs on the back of his neck rise, as for Bai Li, if she were in her ultra beast form, her hackles would be raised and furpletely puffed up!

    ¡°Can I decline this?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Z seemed a little surprised by Qin Feng¡¯s answer and chuckled, ¡°Why would you say no? This is a great experiment, Qin Feng, perhaps you may be the strongest in the future! An Immortal!¡±

    ¡°My path to bing an Immortal is step by step, not through the use of some sketchy shortcuts!¡±

    Z frowned and shook his head. ¡°You injected an awakening potion into yourself, doesn¡¯t that count as a shortcut? You know, since the beginning of the Great Rift Age, ability users were awakened naturally and ancient warriors needed to train from the moment they were toddlers. Change is inevitable, I just don¡¯t understand why you people are so repulsed by it!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s thoughts seethed. The man¡¯s potions warped human beings into inhuman creatures, not man nor beast and there was a high mortality rate. What kind of person would not reject it?

    Only a mad scientist like him, a man who held no regard for human life, nor anyone else for that matter, would ept it!

    Seeing that Qin Feng was not responding and had taken up a defensive stance, Z suddenly let out a cackle.

    ¡°Perhaps, once you¡¯ve seen my strength you would see the right way to go about things. For those that don¡¯t believe me, I always found this method most effective!¡±

    Qin Feng gritted his teeth, he assumed that Z¡¯s method was some kind of show of power or physical torture.

    At this moment, a strange aura finally began to billow out from Z¡¯s body.

    Qin Feng had not detected anything strange about Z¡¯s aura before and he seemed like an ordinary human being. However, he did not underestimate the man¡¯s power and thought that if he could not detect this man¡¯s strength then it meant he was facing something unfathomable and dangerous.

    Now, this strange aura had finally revealed itself.

    Above Z¡¯s head, a phantasmal figure appeared. It seemed as if it was made out of pure energy!

    It was not consciousness nor internal force. It felt more like it was abination of the two, melding into a different kind of energy.

    Z began to speak. ¡°Internal force has three stages!¡±

    ¡°Internal force can be like gas, gas into silk, then bing mist, then a cloud!¡±

    ¡°Internal force can be like water, then into a cluster, a pond, ake, then a sea!¡±

    ¡°Internal force can solidify, condensing into stone, condensing into a mountain, into continents!¡±

    His voice flowed as if he was reciting poetry.

    Qin Feng knew that he was talking about the internal force ancient warriors used, but he had never heard about stages that were above S-tier before.

    How could energy be like stone? Did the internal force crystalize? How did it then be like a mountain, or a continent?

    ¡°The dantian is like a fist, like a mill, like a house, like a pit, like a pond, like ake, like a sea, like an abyss, like the sky, like the gxy!¡±

    ¡°Abilities are stronger than ancient martial arts, iparable. In its final form, once someone has been awakened, their consciousness bes like a universe and their core bes like a. That is already the limit for ancient warriors!¡±

    ¡°Ultra beasts are huge, as tall as mountains, as big as inds. How can mankind, as feeble as they are, stand against such behemoths?¡±

    As he kept speaking, the auraing off from him got stronger and stronger.

    Qin Feng was forced to retreat, not even Bai Li dared to stay back and resist this aura.

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me this lunatic actually merged with a beast god¡¯s crystal core! That¡¯s something that can only exist in the A-tier!¡± Qin Feng said as he kept backing away.

    By now, the phantasm above Z¡¯s head gradually began to appear to be solidifying.

    Finally, once the phantasm hadpletely manifested, Qin Feng felt as if he was staring down an S-tier ultra beast.

    It had the antlers of a deer, the ears of an ox, the ws of an eagle, the body of a serpent and the scales of a fish!

    These were the characteristics of a true Eastern Dragon.

    This Dragon was entirely ck, and the snowy environment around them seemed to cause the creature¡¯s scales to bounce off the light reflected by the ice. The dim glow it gave off made it look like it was made out of obsidian.

    The most important thing though, was how big it was.

    Qin Feng¡¯s vision waspletely enveloped by this Dragon¡¯s winding body. It was as if the clouds above had warped themselves to amodate its shape, its body curled through the air, twisting and blotting out the sky.

    That was the most terrifying part about it!

    It was as Z said, like a sea, like a mountain.

    Something that could eclipse the Sun!

    Qin Feng finally understood what Z meant by how mankind could take on ultra beasts.

    ¡°I¡¯ve dubbed this kind of mutation as the Spirit Awakening! In the future, this will rece ancient martial artists and ability users. The strongest ss of them all, the Spirit Champion!¡±

    ¡°Now! Qin Feng, would you like to undergo the experiment? I¡¯m sure that you will be stronger than me!

    As Z spoke, the Dragon above their heads turned its massive head down to look at Qin Feng with a frightening gaze, as if ready to annihte Qin Feng if he did not say anything.

    He thought about Han Nuan and the others, and the people who had been poisoned in Shadong Town. Han Huan awakened with a new ability and that was the white pigeon!

    In fact, she had greatly improved in the passing year, her abilities had gotten far stronger and she could even manipte both Light and Wind abilities.

    Now, the thing that Z dubbed as the Spirit Champion was even more terrifying and it looked like it had already reached its final form.

    With such a terrifying ck Dragon, Qin Feng was certain that it was not just for show.

    But could Qin Feng say ¡®Yes¡¯?

    No way, he could not even say the word ¡®No¡¯!

    ¡°Run!¡±

    He eximed, and what he said clearly represented the current situation.

    Bai Li suddenly appeared beside Qin Feng and they were shrouded in never before seen silver light.

    Bai Li activated her spatial ability!

    Whoosh!

    The two instantly disappeared and reappeared a thousand kilometers away.

    What happened next gave Qin Feng a fright!

    He could no longer see Z, but he could still see the Dragon in the sky. It was still staring at him as if he had never moved to begin with.

    His heart skipped a beat!

    ¡°How¡¯s that possible?¡±

    Just how vast was the scope of this massive dragon?

    The thing was like the Moon itself, always there no matter where you go. Other than the passage of time, no matter how or where you moved, it was impossible to change the Moon¡¯s location.

    The strange situation just turned even more dangerous.

    ¡°Bai Li! Quick!¡±

    She did not wait for him to say anymore and had already unleashed the limits of her spatial ability, Constant sh.

    Swish swish swish swish!

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng and Bai Li appeared about ten thousand meters away.

    Qin Feng let out a sigh of relief when he looked behind them, the ck Dragon was nowhere to be seen. Only the endless sky was behind them.

    But all of a sudden the ck Dragon loomed into view. Its body spiraled as it flew through the air as it moved in pursuit of them.

    An eagle w began to descend from the sky.

    It came down with the force of a copsing mountain, a terrifying sight.

    Whoosh! Bai Li activated her spatial ability again and frantically tried to escape!

 Chapter 584 - Impossible Odds

    <h4>Chapter 584: Impossible Odds</h4>

    ¡°Kroom!¡±

    A roar came from behind them. When Qin Feng and Bai Li turned their heads to look, they saw the ck Dragon¡¯s w pressed down on the mountain that they were briefly on.

    In an instant, the mountain waspletely ttened by an immense force!

    Not only that, the entire mountain range began to shake. Countless peaks began to shudder, causing the snow that had umted on them to roll off and gradually turn into massive avnches.

    This was going to cause dangerous monster waves and natural disasterster but Qin Feng did not care about that at this point of time.

    Due to it realizing that it did not actually get Qin Feng, the head of the ck Dragon turned in his direction and locked onto its two targets again.

    ¡°Well, color me surprised. While I know that little girlfriend of yours is an ultra beast, it turns out that she¡¯s one that has spatial maniption! That¡¯s something that¡¯s really worth researching!¡±

    As someone who was experienced and refined, a being whose power level had reached that of Long Ting¡¯s, Z already knew that Bai Li was not a human.

    However, being a non-human meant that she had no experimentation value, if not he would have also tried to get Bai Li to participate in the experiment as well!

    Now that he knew about Bai Li¡¯s powers, Z began to change his mind.

    At this moment, Qin Feng could feel a sensation of anger rising in his heart.

    If anything were to happen to him, he would still remain calm. However when bad things were about to happen to Bai Li, Qin Feng had mentioned before that he would not be able to control his rage.

    He still knew that there was no way he could take on this enemy head on.

    The ck Dragon was a terrifying force!

    ¡°Hehe, a spatial ultra beast. They still use runes. Once a certain rune is strong enough to reach a certain level, even space could be sealed off!¡±

    As soon as he was done speaking, the ck Dragon unleashed a terrifying ability.

    It was an ability that Qin Feng was all too familiar with.

    The dark ability!

    The sky looked as if it had been polluted, quickly turning into an inky ck. Not only that, inky dark liquid began to rise up from all around them, closing them off entirely the moment the sky turned dark and locking Qin Feng and Bai Li into the space they were standing on.

    ¡°This isn¡¯t good!¡± Bai Li said with panic in her voice for the first time. ¡°My spatial ability has been disabled!¡±

    Although Bai Li¡¯s powers could not bepletely sealed away, the darkness around them prevented her from opening up a spatial passage that they could use to escape.

    It was then that the ck Dragon reached down with another w and reached toward the box of darkness it created around the pair, ready to crush them.

    The ws were more than enough to wrap around the dark box they were in!

    ¡°We¡¯re gonna have to fight!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes shed with defiant ferocity!

    He raised a hand, causing a helmet to appear that he quickly put on his head.

    He then let go of Bai Li¡¯s hand and raised both arms into the air!

    A dazzlingly bright white light erupted from Qin Feng¡¯s hands, his body even began to glow with some kind of aura.

    Hisbat uniform began to shift into a strange milky white light that seemed to constantly flow with an immensely powerful energy.

    It was the Sacred Armor!

    After Qin Feng obtained the Sacred Armor, he did what Bai Li had done with the Gauntlets and changed its appearance with the Magical Tesseract. He could not tweak the helmet much, so he simply put it away and did not use it.

    This set ofbat armor from the Perished Lands, a piece of highly advanced technology of a long lost race, was Qin Feng¡¯s only crutch and hope.

    ¡°Break through!¡±

    Qin Feng roared.

    The burning white lighting from Qin Feng¡¯s hands kept gathering and it became a massive orb in the matter of seconds.

    A huge orb, ten meters in diameter, was sted forward by Qin Feng.

    The white beam of light crashed into the Dragon¡¯s descending w.

    Boom!

    Shockwaves of energy were sent out as the two forces collided. The white light actually knocked away the Dragon¡¯s w and sted a hole through the ck box they were in, causing the Dark runes to dissipate in an instant.

    ¡°Run!¡±

    Without being told twice, Bai Li started to make a break for it.

    Once the lock was destroyed, Bai Li grabbed Qin Feng and the two disappeared again.

    He checked the armor¡¯s energy levels and saw that he had just used one tenth of the armor¡¯s power.

    After he had obtained the Sacred Armor, he still had not had a breakthrough in understanding it.

    It contained a powerful force, Qin Feng¡¯s dantian contained so much energy that it was also equally terrifying. After he put on the armor, he finally understood the best way to use it.

    The Sacred Armor was an energy storage system. Once it had stored energy, it could release it at a crucial time for a burst of heavy firepower.

    If he had to measure the energy storage in the Sacred Armor, he predicted that the energy the Sacred Armor could contain was ten times what he currently had.

    While Qin Feng¡¯s internal forcecked quality, he made up for it in sheer quantity. He was nine times stronger than an A-tier ancient warrior.

    The Sacred Armor was ten times stronger than that.

    That being said, the attack Qin Feng unleashed just now was the equivalent to that of an attack made by an A9-tier aptitude user.

    That blow was finally strong enough to resist Z¡¯s w strike.

    ¡°Need to find a way to buy time. Open up a spatial passage to the Dragon Capital!¡±

    Someone like Z was too dangerous, once they had reached the Dragon Capital, Qin Feng would feel a little safer.

    After all, that was where the Huaxia Human Alliance¡¯s strongest, Long Ting, lived.

    Making a spatial passage for Bai Li was easy, but it took a few seconds to open and Qin Feng did not have enough time for those few seconds.

    Boom boom boom!

    The ck Dragon caused another avnche, rousing countless ultra beasts and churning disasters.

    Z was inside the Dragon¡¯s body, controlling its movements and making it move forward. With how big the Dragon was, nobody would have thought that Z would be inside the Dragon. It moved so fast that nobody would have been able to catch a glimpse of the man floating within.

    The Soul Warrior that had such speed and such power was a shocking sight to behold.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯ve really surprised me!¡± Z said, ¡°ording to my information, although you can challenge higher levels you don¡¯t have the power to take on an A-tier. However, you¡¯ve still managed to do it, do the gods above favor you?¡±

    The madness in Z¡¯s eyes became more prominent, shining through the huge orbs of the ck Dragon he controlled.

    People like Qin Feng were the kind that Z was looking for as a test subject.

    Bai Li began to flee and Qin Feng unleashed the power of the Sacred Armor again, but he could notpletely deter Z¡¯s power.

    ¡°Does a Soul Warrior really not have any weaknesses?¡± Qin Feng asked himself with confusion.

 Chapter 585 - Show Me How Strong You Are

    <h4>Chapter 585: Show Me How Strong You Are</h4>

    The nkness in his mind quickly disappeared.

    After being reborn, Qin Feng rarely had times where he was at a loss. Most of the time, he knew what to do and how to do it.

    He was not a real teenager, he had the soul of a mature adult.

    There was no time to be lost, no time to hesitate. What he should be thinking about now is how to get out of this predicament!

    ¡°No way it wouldn¡¯t have any weaknesses, maybe I haven¡¯t found it yet, or I¡¯m not strong enough!¡±

    It was obvious that the Sacred Armor could allow him to deflect his opponent¡¯s attacks, but it would have been impossible for that to force Z to retreat.

    ¡°So that means that only the power of an S-tier could do it? Burst out the Sacred Armor¡¯s power all at once?¡±

    However, the Sacred Armor¡¯s energy was derived from Qin Feng¡¯s own power. It would take ten days topletely fill it up. It was only because his internal force was strong enough. If the other Wisdom Tribe prodigies managed to obtain it, they would not have been able to do what he did!

    ¡°If only I guessed before, I¡¯d have sted everything out in one go!¡±

    Qin Feng was filled with regret.

    ¡°Qin Feng, your strength really surprised me, but my patience has its limits!¡±

    When Z spoke, his voice sounded like thunder. As if the ck Dragon swirling above them was talking.

    Z had been chasing Qin Feng down like a cat toying with a mouse. However, with this mentality, the mouse had been running away despite everything and even tried to bite back, and this was gradually frustrating him. No one would have thought this would be a fun game after that!

    Qin Feng did not answer, who in their right mind would respond at this time? After all, everytime he escaped with Bai Li¡¯s teleportation, their surroundings were constantly changing and that did not really give him a good chance for conversation.

    Z¡¯s patience had really been used up!

    The Dragon hovering in the sky abruptly began to circle the air.

    He could not estimate how big its body was, but as it wrapped itself in a circle itpletely surrounded Bai Li and Qin Feng¡¯s location.

    The Dragon began to descend, crushing mountain tops and the snowyndscape.

    ¡°Roar....¡±

    The Dragon let out a sky-shaking roar, it moved shockingly fast despite its size. Its body stacked itself up intoyers and surrounded Qin Feng like metal bands.

    This time, Qin Feng would not be able to escape.

    ¡°Looks like if I¡¯m not tricky, you wouldn¡¯t be defeated. I wasn¡¯t nning on damaging you, so my experiment could be more perfect!¡±

    As Z spoke, the sound that came out from the Dragon was not as elegant and gentle as Z¡¯s voice as it opened its mouth.

    ¡°Wroo...¡±

    All of a sudden, thick ck liquid began to spray out from its maw.

    It was impossible to liken it to heavy rain at all, it was like there was a portal that had been opened at the bottom of the sea and the waters were rushing in to fill up this space. This was more terrifying than a normal sh flood.

    Hum!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength instantly reached up to 3 meters around him. He hugged Bai Li as their surroundings were plunged into darkness.

    This was without a doubt the most terrifying Dark ability!

    These effects might not be too damaging to Qin Feng, who possessed the Hellstone, but Bai Li was not immune to it!

    She was exclusively a spatial beast. If this dark ability eroded her body, it would have a massive impact on her lifespan. While she may be a C-tier beast emperor, she was still technically a teenager. Whatever damage she had sustained might be irreparable.

    The ck Dragon seemed to have be a metal barrel and the dark runes that swirled inside were like water, flooding Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    His internal force was rapidly getting consumed and he kept trying to replenish it. The internal force around them were their flood gates, constantly swirling around them.

    The situation had almost reached a desperate situation!

    ¡°The S-tier energy in my body isn¡¯t just from the Sacred Armor! It depends on if I¡¯m willing to use it!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze became firm for the first time after his meeting with Z.

    ¡°Fire Wall!¡±

    His surroundings were engulfed in a raging inferno!

    This me, in the sea of dark runes, was no different from a weak ember. Moments away from being snuffed out.

    ¡°Still resisting? There¡¯s also that so-called pride in those prodigies!¡± Z¡¯s eyes shed with disdain.

    What did they have? Great power? Unlimited potential?

    In Z¡¯s opinion, they had neither.

    They had the arrogance of youth. They were too young, unwise to how vast the sky before them was.

    Once they had reached his age, they would have learned enough secrets. Once people had their concerns, they would not be going forward.

    At the same time, Z admired Qin Feng. He could not wait to use him to make the perfect experiment.

    ¡°Z, you may be confident, but know this. Even a small spark can start a wildfire!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force vibrated, transmitting his voice.

    ¡°Haha! You¡¯re just a worm trying to shake a tree at this point, you don¡¯t have the power!¡±

    ¡°Oh really?¡±

    Qin Feng asked quietly and in the next moment his consciousness began to spiral wildly.

    A whirlpool was created from the center of his brow and a fiery red stone flew out from the whirlpool.

    As the stone flew out of the whirlpool, it became a little bigger but it was norger than the size of his fist.

    However, the power contained inside this fist-sized stone was extremely violent!

    This was the S-tier item that Qin Feng received in Beihua City, with Shang Han¡¯s approval. This S-tier item was the Sacred me Stone!

    Each S-tier item was absolutely terrifying!

    On the other side of the world, a little Hellstone that fell into a city could create an S-rank Emperor Corpse Lord. That meant that the fist-sized stone in Qin Feng¡¯s hand, with all of its terrifying energy contained in its center, could unleash unimaginable horrors!

    ¡°Let me see just how strong the so-called most powerful person that you¡¯ve created can be!¡±

    ¡°Is the Spirit Champion really invincible?¡±

    ¡°Open fire!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness held up the Sacred me Stone. Using it like a sharp awl, he smoothly pried open the stone¡¯s outer shell.

    Crack!

    There seemed to be a sound, a soft and hardly audible one. The Sacred me Stone, an S-tier item, was split in two. At that moment, a seemingly unstoppable energy instantly burst out as mes rocketed into the sky!

    The mes entered the Fire Wall!

    The Sacred me Stone¡¯s most prominent effect was to increase the power of the fire ability by ten times its usual strength.

    Qin Feng did not care about the insane destructive ramifications of what he just did. He overclocked the Sacred me Stone¡¯s power, making it reach beyond ten times its power, and now it was a hundred times, a thousand times in power.

    Boom!

    The Fire Wall instantly expanded, burning through the sea of darkness and evaporating the snow off mountain tops and melted the mountain rocks. The ground all around them was magma!

    The Sacred me Stone was an explosive.

    The metal barrel that the Dragon had formed into was getting destroyed by this explosion!

    Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

    This was the moment where the Dragon was perforated by the burning force!

    ¡°Z, show me how strong you are!!!¡±

    Qin Feng screamed out into the air.

 Chapter 586 - The Shattered Sacred Meteor

    <h4>Chapter 586: The Shattered Sacred Meteor</h4>

    Qin Feng bellowed angrily. He freed himself from the ck Dragon¡¯s shackles with a tremendous source of energy.

    Around them, snow mountains turned into magma and the flowing magma instantly melted the area into a in. The ce now looked like a boiling hot pot.

    The horrific energy gushed out continuously from Qin Feng¡¯s body. Even the mighty Z was sted away by the force of the S-tier sacred stone.

    Boom!

    Poof!

    Fizz!

    The fizzling noise was still clearly heard after Qin Feng chased away the dark runes. Remnants of the meteor¡¯s energy continued to rage in the surrounding.

    The giant body of Z that obstructed the light was now gone. Qin Feng could finally see the sky above and snow mountains afar again.

    ¡®Have I won? Is Z dead?¡¯ Qin Feng was thrilled. He expanded his conscious energy and found nothing.

    This was when the dispelled seawater once again rushed back.

    ¡°Hubby, be careful!¡± Bai Li eximed and immediately sheltered themselves with silver runes.

    Under the impact of the dark runes, the silver box covering Qin Feng and Bai Li was like a small boat in the middle of a raging sea. They were instantly carried by the wave to a few hundred meters away from the magma pool.

    Qin Feng hadpletely lost control of the magma. It was now just a dead pool of magma formed through the leftover energy of the Sacred me Meteor.

    In other words, Qin Feng had exhausted the Sacred Meteor in the previous attack.

    From the dark, invisible forces began to grab on the silver box protecting Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Shadow Bind!

    Qing Feng immediately recognized the ability.

    Bai Li¡¯s spatial technique was not amon ability. The fact that the Shadow Bind technique could hold onto the barrier made of spatial energy suggested that the skill was used by a high-tier ability user.

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart sank. It was not difficult to guess who this high-tier ability user might be.

    Within the darkness, a figure slowly emerged. It was none other than Z.

    Z¡¯s eyes were still perceptive as always as he looked at them emotionlessly. Qin Feng was baffled to find that despite the deep cuts on his hands and necks, no blood was seen flowing out from the wound.

    It made Z creepier than ever.

    Z was obviously enraged. But the angrier he was, the calmer he became. His killing intent was especially daunting.

    He did not speak a word but the dark runes around Qin Feng and Bai Li continued to press the silver box.

    Crack! Crack!

    Slowly, the silver spatial runes were being crushed. Z did not even move a finger.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡± Bai Li could not help but exim.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength flowed rapidly and formed a Qi armor around them as soon as Bai Li¡¯s spatial runes were destroyed.

    However, the internal force shield did not fare any better than Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability.

    ¡®Fine! F*ck this! Let¡¯s fight the hell out.¡¯

    Qin Feng had no idea whether Z was injured or how much power he still had in store. But he knew he could no longer back down at this stage.

    A whirlpool of energy was seen spinning in between Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Other than Sacred me Meteor, Qin Feng had another S-tier stone in his possession, which was the Hell Stone. This was known by some tribes as the sacred stone of dark power.

    Qin Feng would have no use of the stone if he was killed today. He would not think twice to destroy the Hell Stone too after he had lost the Sacred Meteor. If the power were strong enough to kill Z, perhaps the power core of Z would instantly upgrade him into B-tier.

    ¡®I will kill you here even if it costs me my life!¡¯

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng fully activated his innate ability¡ªthe power to absorb everything in this world!

    The next moment, the dark runes around him turned into sea waves that suppressed the force currently drowning him. These waves then thinned into a thread that prated through the internal force shield and fused in between Qin Feng¡¯s eyebrows.

    The dark runes that were allowed into the shield were energy that Qin Feng had tamed and could assimte.

    It was the only way Qin Feng could stop the attack now. His diamond starglobe spun frantically under the help of the Hell Stone, which maximized his absorption ability.

    In Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm, the size of the Hell Stone was shrinking fast. Normally, Qin Feng¡¯s ability would not be able to digest the sea of dark runes at such a rapid rate. However, his ability had been amplified drastically at the expense of the Hell Stone.

    It was like how the Sacred me Meteor could strengthen the Fire Wall by tens or hundreds of folds.

    The depletion of the Hell Stone allowed the runes approaching Qin Feng to be absorbed into his consciousness without limitation.

    Qin Feng¡¯s starglobe was densely packed with dark runes.

    ¡®What is happening!¡¯

    Z, who was infuriated, was stunned by the development. He was once again surprised by Qin Feng.

    The dark runes released by Z were powers that he had been amassing for the past hundreds of years. If Qin Feng continued to absorb the runes, it would be no different from how Qin Feng had used Asteroid Assimtion to rob others¡¯ internal strength.

    Z would not allow that to happen. ¡°Dispel!¡± Z had no choice but to relieve the attack.

    The dark runes reversed and returned into Z¡¯s body. Nheless, part of it had inevitably gushed into Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    ¡°Arghhhhh!¡± Qin Feng groaned in pain. It was like his head was about to explode.

    Such an aberrant absorption of dark force had gone beyond the starglobe¡¯s endurance.

    ¡°Hubby! Qin Feng! Please don¡¯t scare me! Get a hold of yourself!¡± Bai Li panicked and could not do anything to help. She resented the fact that she was not a B-tier beast emperor or A-tier beast god. The enemy would have been long defeated if that were the case.

    Qin Feng hadpletely lost the ability to fight at the moment. He put his life on the line to stop the ferocious attack.

    But was that the end of Z¡¯s attack? Of course not.

    Z raised his hand again with a great power surging through.

    A dragon w then appeared out of thin air.

    The w was simr to Qin Feng¡¯s secret technique, Dragon m. It also resembled the giant w of the ck Dragon earlier, only at a smaller scale.

    However, the w moved way faster and they had no ce to hide.

    ¡°No!¡± Bai Li cried out. A band of silver light appeared on top of her and split into a rift. The dragon w was promptly sent into another dimension.

    But Bai Li had miscalcted. One of the w¡¯s nails was cut off by the rift andnded heavily on her.

    Bai Li raised both of her hands and the Lesser Gauntlet protected her front.

    Pop!

    The Lesser Gauntlet shattered upon impact!

    It was life-and-death! The situation could not be direr.

 Chapter 587 - Mysterious Old Man

    <h4>Chapter 587: Mysterious Old Man</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°Bai Li!¡±

    Though Qin Feng was experiencing a severe headache, he was still aware of the surroundings. He shouted worriedly when he saw that Bai Li¡¯s final defense had been shattered.

    With ast-ditch effort, Qin Feng kicked his legs and lunged forward as hard as he could.

    Qin Feng managed to get Bai Li out of the way with his body¡¯s momentum.

    Boom!

    A horrific bang erupted from where they initially stood and the ground quaked violently.

    Qin Feng turned his head and saw a ten-meter deep, thirty-meter long crack left behind by the attack. If the same attack hadnded on Bai Li, she would be brutally injured even if she were to survive the assault.

    Qin Feng could not bear to imagine the consequence.

    He could not focus for long as the headache had intensified as a result of his recklessness out of desperation.

    Bai Li hugged Qin Feng with her wounded hands. There was only one way now¡ªRun!

    But Bai Li knew that Z would not let them get away easily. This was because the enemy¡¯s gaze was deadly fixed on her and Qin Feng at this very moment.

    Z was deeply annoyed for yet another failed assault.

    More cracks appeared on his raging face.

    ¡°Qin Feng, it seems that you refuse to go with me.¡±

    Qin Feng endured the pain in his head and sneered, ¡°I am not stupid.¡±

    Under his sleeve, Qin Feng had taken out a monster¡¯s core and began to absorb it. He wished he could restore his consciousness and internal force as much as possible.

    At the same time, Bai Li¡¯s voice sounded in his mind, ¡°Hubby, I still have a lot of beast cores stored inside my secret dimension. We can detonate them to distract him. Though it would not be as powerful as the Sacred Meteor, he is a lot weaker now, too!¡±

    Though it was a critical moment, Qin Feng believed it was not the end yet.

    The oue of this fight would be decided by the tricks they still had up their sleeves.

    Z spoke again. ¡°Such as shame. It seems I need to be more aggressive to make you listen.¡±

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were baffled.

    ¡®You are not being aggressive all this while?¡¯ It seems the depth of Z was even beyond Qin Feng¡¯s reach.

    Z raised his hand. The silhouette of the ck Dragon once again urred on his arm.

    The same atrocious scenario was about to rey.

    All of a sudden, the sky abruptly turned white. Though Qin Feng¡¯s body was immune to extreme heat or cold, he could not help but feel the chill in the air.

    It began to snow out of the blue. The Fire Wall ced by Qin Feng earlier seemed to be frozen as well by the unexpected snowfall.

    A man had silently arrived at the top of the snow mountain amid the unusual weather.

    Qin Feng did not notice how and when the person appeared. He just popped up without a sign.

    ¡°Z, enough with your nonsense. Stop forcing the poor child against his will.¡± The sound seemed to belong to an old man.

    On a clearer nce, the man was indeed aged. His hair had gone entirely white. He was wearing a fur coatmonly seen around the Xue Yuan area with his hands crossed and hidden inside the cuffs. He was buff but had a humpback like ordinary old folk.

    He could be easily mistaken as just another wealthy old man if he was seen on a street of a city. The fact that he could reach the mountain peak unnoticed indicated that he was not to be taken lightly.

    After all, Qin Feng did not even know how deep he and Bai Li had gone into the mountain area to escape Z¡¯s hot pursuit. The avnche and magma pool earlier had brought down a lot of C-tier or higher beasts as well.

    The old man survived all that and talked to Z in a carefree tone. He was obviously somebody.

    ¡°Hu San!¡± Z was slightly taken aback when he saw the old man. ¡°Get back to sleep and stop poking your nose into my business.¡±

    ¡°With all the noise you make in front of my house, how do you expect me to sleep well?¡± The old man took out a cigar and lit it.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression changed when he saw the cigar.

    Due to the evolution of the human body after doomsday, the ecstatic sensation brought by smoking tobo had reduced drastically. Hence, cigarettes or cigars were no longer in production in today¡¯s world. It became an antique that was owned only by a few prestigious nobles as collectibles.

    However, the smell of the cigar was unusually enchanting. Qin Feng could smell it even though he was some distance away.

    ¡®It¡¯s the Dreamer! Who is this old man?¡¯ The cigar is made from a special herb and would cost a fortune.¡¯

    ¡°Z, regardless of all the things that you have done in my turf, I have been extremely tolerant all this while. Don¡¯t try to push your luck.¡±

    ¡°Push my luck? Don¡¯t forget who I am doing this for!¡± Z was obviously agitated.

    Hu San flicked the ashes of his cigar and said, ¡°I have heard enough of your dreams. Not today, Z. Now, get out of my sight.¡±

    ¡°Who are you to order me around?¡±

    Hu San replied coldly, ¡°For I am the guardian of the North, and he is the prodigy of the North!¡±

    Z¡¯s face darkened.

    ¡°Are you sure you want to protect him?¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡±

    ¡°Watch him closely then. In exchange, I want another state.¡± Z sneered.

    Hu San sighed and said, ¡°You can have Hui Lu then. But remember, you can do as you please in the Dark Coalition¡¯s turf but stay clear from the Human Alliance!¡±

    Z smirked as if he was saying, ¡°That¡¯s not something you can control!¡±

    He turned and nced at Qin Feng and Bai Li. His smirk turned into a hysterical grin. It was especially horrific on his scarred face.

    ¡°I will give you three years!¡±

    Qin Feng gripped his fists tightly.

    Three years?

    Qin Feng was fired up. He would prove to Z that this would be his biggest mistake.

    Because Qin Feng believed that he could surpass Z in less than that.

    An energy burst out from Z¡¯s body. The silhouette of a ck dragon tail promptly appeared on his back. He ascended into the air and vanished in no time.

    They were finally safe.

    ¡°Thank you!¡± Qin Feng thanked Hu San. He now owed the mysterious old man his life.

    Not only that, but the old man even got him three years of safety. At least, he did not need to worry about hiding from Z all the time and could enhance his skill peacefully.

    ¡°You are more than wee. After all, you are an important prodigy for the Northern region. Anyway, I am deeply impressed by your courage and strength! What a fearless young man!¡± Hu San raised his hand while talking. A normal-looking hover copter appeared promptly.

    ¡°Come, I will see you on the way out of this ce. It would be bad if you two survived Z but are then killed by some lowly beasts.¡±

    Qin Feng and Bai Li stepped into the chopper as told. The mountains were indeed too dangerous for them at the moment. Their battle had disturbed the beasts in this area and many monsters were roaming about angrily.

    Besides, Bai Li was hurt too. Though it was not serious, Qin Feng would not wish to expose her to further danger.

    Last but not least, Qin Feng had a ton of questions he could not wait to ask the old man.

 Chapter 588 - Zâ€™s Identity

    <h4>Chapter 588: Z¡¯s Identity</h4>

    The internal decoration of the hover copter was unimaginative. Despite that, there was a built-in heater inside and the warmth instantlyforted Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    The old man looked even more ordinary after he had taken off his coat.

    Hu San started the conversation like they were close acquaintances. ¡°Qin Feng, I thought you were stationed at the North Sea. What¡¯s your business here? Why was Z on your tail?¡±

    Qin Feng stared at the old man as his mind was racing.

    This old man in front of him was more informative than he initially thought. Even those in high rank would not be this resourceful and know every single detail. He even knew who he was and where he came from.

    Perhaps the old man had paid attention because of his prodigy stature.

    ¡°I have been investigating about the Z Organization...¡± Qin Feng decided it was best to be honest and told him everything that had happened in Cheng Bei, Fu City, and Shadong Town.

    Hu San was joyfully serving hot tea to them initially. The old man¡¯s expression changed and shook his head when heard about the incident at Shadong.

    ¡°You are a persistent one. Just because one of your peers was kidnapped, you came all the way?¡±

    This was not only about the kidnapping. If Qin Feng were not given a second life, he would not know that the contrast between his two lives would be this huge.

    If his talent had not been taken away in his past life, his achievement, though might not be as high as his current potential, would not be just a normal A-tier in ten years.

    All of his misery in the previous life stemmed from the day his talent was being forcefully stripped by theboratory.

    But he would not tell Hu San about this.

    ¡°I have been getting new leads constantly and could sense a looming threat. That¡¯s why I continued to look into this,¡± Qin Feng exined.

    ¡°Threat? If I tell you that the main forces under Z are at best C-tier, will you still view them as a threat?¡± Hu San asked.

    Qin Feng frowned and said, ¡°How¡¯s that possible? He is at least an S-tier!¡±

    ¡°S-tier? Haha...¡± Hu Sanughed it off and drank his tea.

    But Qin Feng had already caught the hint. ¡®Don¡¯t tell me, he is bigger than an S-tier?¡¯

    ¡°Mister, may I ask who is this Z?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Z?¡± Hu San paused for a while as if he was looking for the right words. He then said, ¡°Before this era, this world was a prosperous ce. It all ended when the cmity happened, the day we call Doomsday now.¡±

    ¡°There was arge scale of the mutated beast invasion. Other than primitive weapons and some declining ancient warrior families, the timid humans had little strength and didn¡¯t stand a chance against the catastrophe. There was no Human Alliance back then. The world was divided into different countries, or nations. To save humankind, these once divergent nations decided to coborate and run all sorts of experiments.¡±

    Qin Feng was intrigued. ¡°You are talking about the mutation experiment!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Though in most records the experiments had all failed miserably, there¡¯s actually one sessful trial.¡±

    Qin Feng immediately knew where this was going. He continued, ¡°Z.¡±

    ¡°You are right. Z is the final alphabet and it symbolizes him being thest subject.¡±

    ¡°He was one of the researchers and had volunteered himself. His supervisor was the one who oversaw the project. In the end, none of the people in the facility survived. Z had turned into a horrific monster and he escaped with his supervisor.¡±

    ¡°Since the experiment was too unpredictable, the project was ultimately canceled despite Z being a sess, sort of. Besides, at about the same time, other groups had sessfully invented the awakening jab.¡±

    ¡°However, Z¡¯s supervisor refused to stop. He insisted that his research direction was right. After all, he already had a living example at his disposal, who is Z. So they both set up a newb and continued the experiment.¡±

    Qin Feng said in bewilderment, ¡°So Z had once belonged to the Human Alliance?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no such thing at that time like I have told you.¡± Hu Sanughed.

    ¡®That¡¯s true.¡¯ The Human Alliance had just been established about 150 years ago.

    In other words, Z was only a private organization in that era that believed mutation experiments could have saved humankind.

    ¡°After the invention of the awakening drug, S-tier elects began to emerge in just a few tens of years. The Human Alliance was then formed and the social structure underwent a drastic reform. Z¡¯s supervisor had long died then. But Z refused to give up and wanted to continue his mentor¡¯s experiment.¡±

    ¡°But his doing went against the ideology of the upper echelon.¡±

    ¡°Because he is working on a human experiment. Only the Dark Coalition would allow that.¡± Qin Feng said solemnly.

    ¡°That¡¯s not entirely correct.¡± Hu San, unexpectedly, shook his head.

    ¡°Eh?¡±

    Hu San asked Qin Feng, ¡°Did Z tell you about his goal?¡±

    Z was definitely a talker, but Qin Feng did not remember exactly what he had said. In fact, Z struck him as delusional.

    ¡°Z wished to turn every human being into elite aptitude or ability users.¡± Hu San revealed the answer.

    ¡°He did mention that.¡± Qin Feng nodded. He could still remember the maddening look on Z¡¯s expression when he said that.

    Hu San continued, ¡°The elects and leaders are enjoying the power in their hands right now. They wouldn¡¯t like Z¡¯s ideology. They don¡¯t even care about improving the awakening drug. To them, themoners should stay ignorant and powerless. That¡¯s their only way to hold firm onto their positions.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression changed.

    He looked at Hu San and wondered whether the old man was being serious.

    Sadly, Qin Feng was unable to refute Hu San¡¯s words.

    The strong ruled in this post-apocalyptic world. No ruler would like to see their thrones threatened.

    Qin Feng¡¯s power had rocketed quickly since his time in Chengbei colony. When he reached E-tier, he was a threat to the mayors. After D-tier, he was a threat to the dukes.

    Now at C-tier, he had be a governor. Would those above him not be wary of him as well?

    If Z¡¯s experiment were to seed, then everyone had a chance to be awakened. Not only that but people could obtain both ancient martial art and ability. It would be a groundbreaking development!

    Such a thing had never crossed Qin Feng¡¯s mind. ¡°But what does this have to do with Z¡¯s subordinates?¡±

    Hu San exined, ¡°Z has never swayed from his original intention despite his conflict with the upper echelon. If he wishes everyone to be strong, then he would only execute the experiment onmoners instead of awakened aptitude or ability users. That¡¯s why his subjects are all C-tier or lower.¡±

    Qin Feng had been wondering why Z only established a smallboratory in a remote ce like Chengbei or Xue Yuan if he was an S-tier. It was extremely easy for an S-tier to take control over arge territory.

    His perception hadpletely changed after meeting Hu San. Qin Feng had never met anyone like Hu San in his past life. Hu San¡¯s power remained unknown but he must be at least an S-tier.

    This old man was probably a hermit being told only in legends.

 Chapter 589 - Historical Conflict

    <h4>Chapter 589: Historical Conflict</h4>

    Qin Feng thought a lot more after this encounter.

    He reevaluated Z after learning more about this man, who was there from the very beginning of this era.

    But the change of perceptionsted only briefly in his mind.

    ¡°Mister, are you trying to convince me that Z is not a viin?¡±

    Hu San answered, ¡°I am not in the position to judge Z. I am telling you this so that you don¡¯t dwell too much on this matter. Anyway, I promised Z to make sure you don¡¯t go after him. So stop pursuing a ghost from the past.¡±

    Qin Feng was feeling disgruntled. Indeed, Z had warned Qin Feng not to meddle with his business before he left.

    Hu San had his reason for telling Qin Feng this. Qin Feng was a generational prodigy. Hu San was deeply impressed by him and hoped he could let this go. He was giving Qin Feng a reason to stop.

    ¡°So I am supposed to watch him expand his influence and do nothing? I know people on top have little interest in a small matter like this. But Z is a bomb waiting to explode. Is the Human Alliance really not going to take action? Should we just let him kidnap innocent people and conduct hical experiments on them?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°What if I tell you the Human Alliance allowed him to?¡± Hu Sanmented.

    Qin Feng was stunned.

    Hu San continued with a helpless smile. ¡°Of course, the Human Alliance didn¡¯t want him to continue the experiment. However, do you really believe anyone can stop Z?¡±

    It seemed rather impossible.

    ¡°Thus, the Human Alliance is willing topromise. After they had the new order in ce, the Human Alliance decided to allow Z to use criminals with felony charges as his experimental subject. That way, Z was considered being sided by the Human Alliance for their mutual interest.¡±

    ¡°Eventually, Z had a huge breakthrough in his experiment. He refined his method and finally produced the first batch of mutants. Z would of course keep monitoring his subjects but now an issue arises. Who were these mutants before that?¡±

    Qin Feng answered with a hoarse voice, ¡°Criminals.¡±

    Hu Sanughed satisfyingly and did not say another word. He had made his point clear enough.

    Z used criminals as study subjects and would not kill them after the mutation.

    These criminals, though still being monitored by theb, were now indirectly released as Z¡¯s subordinate.

    Their uwful nature did not change. Worse still, they acted more brazenly than before with the new power given to them.

    Qin Feng sometimes wondered whether Z¡¯sboratory was the origin of the Dark Coalition. But he had given up on looking for the answer. The Dark Coalition was a general term used by those who did not wish to live under the Human Alliance¡¯s shadow. Z¡¯s activity, on the other hand, had beenrgely restricted in the Northern region. Perhaps he did not have much to do with the Dark Coalition.

    More so, if Hu San was right, then the mutants probably did not work directly under Z¡¯smand. He might be the initiator, but his hands were clean.

    After all, Qin Feng was not being directly abducted by theboratory but by people who were disguised as mercenaries in his past life.

    Qin Feng burst outughing, sarcastically.

    ¡°This is not what I am expecting, and the truth left me speechless. But at the very least, I finished what I came here for.¡± Qin Feng said. He then changed the topic. ¡°I hope to let this go too but it¡¯s impossible. However, I am not the one who messed with him, he is the one who refused to let me go.¡±

    First thing first, Z wished to use Qin Feng in his experiment.

    Besides, there were things that Qin Feng could not tell the old man.

    Hu San might be powerful but he could not foresee the future, no matter how great a man he was.

    Z¡¯s experiment took about a hundred years to finally reach a breakthrough. Unquestionably, he was going to seed soon.

    Before Qin Feng was reborn, there were a mass number of mutants in the Dark Coalition.

    In fact, those saved by Qin Feng in Shadong Town had awakened a Spirit Champion like Z. Z was probably still unaware of it.

    Qin Feng had no intention to let him find out.

    ¡°Mister, I have onest question,¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Yes?¡±

    ¡°During my battle with Z, did I hurt him? Why did his body crack that way?¡±

    Qin Feng wished to gather as much information as possible since he had decided to fight Z. The most important thing to ask was obviously Z¡¯s weakness.

    Hu Sanughed. ¡°Of course he was hurt. Do you know how powerful the st was? However, those might just be minor injuries. As for the cracks all over his body... I am not so sure!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. Hu San¡¯s answer might not have cleared his doubt but it was more than enough.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine. At least I know how much energy would hurt him now. Eventually, I will be able to find a way to defeat him!¡±

    Hu San was baffled. ¡®This kid really wants to defeat Z this badly? Not that you can find something as powerful as the Sacred Meteor every day you know?¡¯

    The old man kept the thought to himself and instead encouraged Qin Feng, ¡°If you can really defeat Z, then I will treat you to my best tea then.¡±

    Not longter, the hover copter slowed down and began to descend. They had crossed the border and the choppernded on the main road between the two cities.

    Qin Feng alighted the hover copter. Before he left, he turned to Hu San and again asked, ¡°Mister, you said you will give Z Hui Lu earlier. Do you mean he is allowed to set up ab there? So hisbs are only at these few ces?¡±

    Hu San nodded and said, ¡°As an S-tier, Z is considered obedient. Don¡¯t you think so?¡±

    ¡°I see. I promised you that I won¡¯t touch theseboratories. However, I will continue to purge those who belong to the Dark Coalition from these three states. I believe Z doesn¡¯t really care about his subjects.¡± Qin Feng smirked and decided to double the bounty on the Dark Coalition members in Hui Lu. This way, many would be willing to do the job for him.

    Qin Feng immediately turned around and left in his hovercraft before Hu San could say anything.

    ¡°What an ignorant brat!¡± Hu San murmured to himself, not knowing whether he should feel angry or amused. ¡°But he is really something, this Qin Feng.¡±

    It was difficult to imagine how a C-tier could withstand Z¡¯s multiple assaults. A lot of his abilities were unbeknownst to Hu San too.

    ¡°Perhaps, I might be surprised again three yearster.¡±

    A sudden blizzard soon stormed thend. A few moments after that, both the old man and the hover copter hadpletely gone out of sight.

 Chapter 590 - Crisis at Winter Fort

    <h4>Chapter 590: Crisis at Winter Fort</h4>

    Qin Feng looked at Bai Li after he had set the hovercraft on an automatic course.

    ¡°Have some sleep. How¡¯s your hand?¡±

    Though he was busy talking to Hu San in the hover copter, Qin Feng did help Bai Li to dress her wound simultaneously.

    ¡°I will be fine.¡± Bai Li waved her hands that were buried within a thick bandage.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°Doesn¡¯t it hurt?¡±

    Bai Li pouted and said, ¡°Of course it hurts.¡±

    The little fox never lied.

    It pained Qin Feng to see Bai Li getting hurt. ¡°Just wait for me to get stronger. I swear I will have Z begging for his life.¡± Qi Feng promised.

    Bai Li resonated, ¡°I will scratch him mercilessly with my ws when that timees.¡±

    Both of them looked at each other and broke intoughter. A joke was always an antidote to a heavy heart.

    They theny on their respective chairs and tried to get some rest. However, Qin Feng was unable to fall asleep.

    ¡®This matter has haunted me the most after I was reborn. I finally got a conclusion today. I can now concentrate on training, and defeating Z would just be a matter of time. So, what is my next move?¡¯

    Numerous memories from his previous life gushed back into Qin Feng¡¯s mind. He had a hard time picking his next destination.

    Before he could make up his mind, the rm inside his hovercraft sounded.

    Warning! Warning! C-tier beast king detected at about 20km from here. Please avoid contact. Please avoid contact.

    Qin Feng woke from his light sleep. He reached for the rm and switched it off. The sonar of the hovercraft had detected the whereabouts of the mutated beast.

    Winter Fort, where Qin Feng was heading, was at around that distance too.

    ***

    At the same time, the rm had sounded all across Winter Fort. The hapless D-tier aptitude user inside the mayor¡¯s office was deeply shaken.

    ¡°Send overbat hover copters to stall the C-tier beast-king. Drive it away from the fort. Do it with your dying will!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Mayor!¡±

    ¡°I will report to the Human Alliance and ask for reinforcement if the beast gets nearer than 10km. Turn on the force field when it is only 5 km away!¡±

    ¡°Roger!¡±

    ¡°Hope it can be stopped!¡±

    The mayor did not unveil his quiet wish, which was hoping that elects from the Human Alliance would reach sooner.

    He could call for help but only God knew when the Human Alliance would send over a B-tier aptitude user.

    There were a few tens of cities and colonies across the entire Northern region. Each town had its spatial waymark set up in Bei Hua city. Anytime when there was an emergency, B-tiers could use the prepared waymark ande to the rescue. This was one of the many reasons why there were so many B-tiers being stationed at Bei Hua.

    However, no B-tier might be avable at the time of emergencies, or the B-tiers would have arrived a few minutes toote.

    A few minutes was more than enough for a beast king to trample over a loosely defended city.

    The hover copters had been dispatched from the fort.

    Being a city of a backward state, Winter Fort was even weaker than Chengyang City. The ten hover copters that they owned belonged to the previous generation.

    The pilots were the best man they could afford¡ªfive E-tier gunslingers and 5 F-tiers. It was hard to fathom how they were going to stall the beast. They would be terrified by its aura long before reaching the beast.

    But they did not have a choice.

    Suddenly, the surveince drone picked up a motion on the ground. It was a hovercraft.

    Oddly, the hovercraft headed straight at the beast king with no intention of slowing down.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Is the craft¡¯s rm system malfunctioning? The driver has probably not been warned!¡±

    ¡°Send a warning over. Sound the systemic rm!¡±

    ¡°I have already done that. But he didn¡¯t slow down!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the driver? Seeking suicide?¡±

    They were troubled by the hovercraft¡¯s movement. The beast king still had not discovered Winter Fort. If they were so lucky that the beast were to turn directions midway, Winter Fort would escape this crisis unscathed.

    However, if someone panicked during his or her escape and steered toward Winter Fort, then it might draw the beast king¡¯s attention to the fort. This was not in everyone¡¯s best interest.

    Nheless, they were once again baffled by the development.

    The hovercraft was getting closer and closer. The car did not slow down and they could see the front seat window had been lowered. A man wearing a helmet was seen as he extended his arm out.

    It was none other than Qin Feng. His head was still hurting and he was in no condition to battle. He nned to get some rest in Winter Fort but he happened to find out that a beast king was also heading the same way.

    Qin Feng peeked at the hovercraft surveince camera and figured that there were only about two hundred minions following the beast king. These minions were not all from the same species as well.

    ¡®I guess they are here because of the avnche earlier. Sigh. I am partly responsible for this so I guess I should deal with it.¡¯

    With that in mind, Qin Feng closed in and was only about five hundred meters from the flock.

    Qin Feng could now get a clear look at the beast king. It was a giant swine.

    The C-tier beast king swine stood at twenty-meter-high. More terrifyingly, its bucktooth alone was estimated to be at least ten meters long, which seemed to be made from frozen ice. Its long body was covered by thick white fur. Qin Feng would not have recognized the creature if not for its signature nose and protruding fang.

    ¡°A beast king evolved from Snowfur Swine!¡± This beast habituated a lot of areas in Xue Yuan. They are mostly ssified as E-tier past maturation. It wasmon for some of them to grow into C-tier since nutritious herbs were everywhere up in the snow mountain.

    Dong! Dong! Dong!

    The trees fell wherever the swine trampled over. It was not on the highway yet but would soon reach the sentry tower and the greenhouse ntation of Xue Yuan state. It was only a matter of time before it would reach Winter Fort.

    Nheless, this was as far as the beast could get.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and a white glow appeared on his palm. In the blink of an eye, the glowing spot inted into a glowing ball containing vast energy.

    Blitz!

    A white radiance suddenly erupted.

    It was the Sacred Armor!

    There was 3/10 power left in the Sacred Armor. It might not be enough to kill Z but would have no problem terminating a C-tier beast king.

    The whiteser instantly prated the swine¡¯s body and opened up a big hole through its tough skin.

    The ravaging beast came to an abrupt stop. A whileter, its giant body trembled and fell to the ground.

    Boom!

    The ground shook, flustering the minion flock to flee for their lives.

    C-tier beast king, killed!

 Chapter 591 - Massive Loss

    <h4>Chapter 591: Massive Loss</h4>

    ¡°I¡¯ll get the materials; you should just stay in the car!¡± Qin Feng told Bai Li.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just pack them up directly!¡±

    ¡°Stop using your ability, get some rest!¡±

    ¡°Oh, alright!¡±

    Sometimes, although light injuries were still tolerable for Qin Feng, however, he would still protect his little fox from being injured!

    It did not matter if Bai Li did not understand Qin Feng¡¯s intention.

    Qin Feng released his dark ability to shroud around the hover tank, it then gradually disappeared and faded into the shadows on the ground and hid itself from the detection of the drones.

    Qin Feng entered into the forest, most of the ultra beasts had fled, while some that were found by Qin Feng ended up being reaped by his de.

    Qin Feng slit opened the swine and put it into the Battlegod Tomb, such a giant beast would definitely fetch a good selling price.

    Qin Feng returned and dispersed the dark ability, and continued to drive forward.

    Meanwhile, rows of drones flew ahead and aligned themselves, like they were giving their salutes.

    Within the office building at the city centre, the mayor of the Winter Fort urged, ¡°Quick, connect me to themunicator of this master!¡±

    During specialbat situations,municators would be avable for public connections tomunicate with every region, and by searching in a smaller radius, it was still possible to identify and direct themunication to one person!

    Beep!

    Qin Feng¡¯smunication flickered and he was alerted by a floating notification on the screen, the avatar of the mayor of the Winter Fort was automatically shown.

    ¡°Master, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of all people from Winter Fort for your help!¡± The caller expressed the thankful message in excitement.

    Qin Feng took a nce at the caller and noticed the D-tier aptitude user badge that was worn, and he immediately knew what that was about.

    ¡°I was just passing by, and it was a handy wipe out, however, you may also reassign me with a mission!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    ¡°Yes, yes, I will definitely submit this!¡±

    ¡°Hmm!¡±

    ¡°Master, are you looking to rest in the city? I do have an exclusive vi that is ready to serve special guests!¡±

    Qin Feng evaluated the situation that he and Bai Li were in, and he epted the offer with a nod. ¡°Alright, send the location, just leave the key behind, I hope that my rest period in Winter Fort will not be disturbed by anyone!¡±

    It was necessary to remind the opposite side, for such an underdeveloped and remote city, Qin Feng¡¯s C-tier capability was definitely too powerful, and many would wish to be backed by Qin Feng¡¯s huge support and strive their way toward sess.

    Qin Feng did not want to spare his time for any of those people while he was still injured.

    ¡°Yes, definitely!¡± The mayor of the Winter Fort nodded immediately.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave it to you!¡±

    Qin Feng concluded and ended themunication; hismunicator number and name were then sent across to ease the battle achievement submission procedure.

    Meanwhile, the mayor of the Winter Fort had immediately submitted the battle achievement request to the Human Alliance, with the avable recordings, the submission had gone smoothly.

    However, as soon as the submission was done, the mayor of Winter Fort was struck dumb. ¡°Ay, this name, why does it sound familiar?¡±

    Aptitude users from the lower tiers were greatly distanced from those who were above C-tier, and they could only get an inkling from any of their friends or rtives that had seeded as C-tiers.

    It was also the same for the mayor of Winter Fort who had been stationed at the fort and not been to the frontline before. There were not more than three C-tier aptitude users that he hade into contact with before, and one of them was the governor of the Xue Yuan state.

    ¡°Ah, lord, this person, isn¡¯t he Qin Feng?¡±

    ¡°Nonsense, I am aware that he is Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°No no no, the champion of the Prodigy Tournament, the first hero ss of the year, Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°What? He is... too powerful!¡±

    Actually, when they first saw the hovercraft that was passing by, they thought it would be at least be a B-tier aptitude user, or else, how could the C-tier beast king be annihted in just one hit, and they saw that Qin Feng did not use any weapons, he only used his hand.

    Instantly, Qin Feng¡¯s status had been raised to an exponential height, and they could only admire such great capability.

    Then, Qin Feng entered Winter Fort and located the vi that was provided by the mayor, he then settled down.

    Although Qin Feng did not suffer from terrible injuries, it was still a great loss for him, he had lost the Hell Stone, Sacred me Meteor and Bai Li¡¯s Lesser Sacred Armor was alsopletely destroyed!

    He had absorbed a massively-sized rune, despite his SS-tier potential, it was still extremely horrifying for him to take on such an overwhelming rune.

    However, for him, the greatest loss was to lose the Hell Stone that had been boosting his dark energy by tenfold.

    Regardless of the size of the Hell Stone, it was the unique maic field of the stone that mattered.

    ¡®Perhaps I should be on the other part of Earth, the city where the Meixi Alliance is located!¡¯ Qin Feng pondered.

    However, after experiencing the capability of Z, Qin Feng would be extra cautious when it came to S-tier aptitude users.

    ¡°With my current capability, I can¡¯t be there yet, so for me to go there, I should at least be a B-tier, and Bai Li has to be above B-tier, therefore, there has to be another ce!¡±

    Qin Feng gathered his thoughts on the appearances of unknown regions, secret territories, or perhaps precious treasures that were avable at that moment, however, his effort was in vain.

    The countless numbers of precious treasures would not appear simultaneously. It had only been one and a half years since Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, and the precious items would only appear in the next eight years. As Qin Feng grew stronger, the items would eventually be useless.

    ¡°If that is the case, continuing to the frontline would be a better option!¡±

    Once the decision had been made, Qin Feng organized the dark runes in his mind, and practiced his Asteroid Assimtion topletely restore his internal strength, it was then injected into his sacred armor to keep it filled up.

    Seven dayster, Qin Feng had recovered from his injuries, and Bai Li had also recoveredpletely. Her capability had also been raised to a higher rank, the intense battle had enabled her to further solidify her energy.

    Beep beep beep!

    Qin Feng was alerted by hismunicator.

    It was Regent Shang Han from the Northern Region.

    ¡°Qin Feng, have you been absent from defending the North Sea state?¡± Shang Han asked via themunicator.

    Qin Feng raised his eyebrow, he was surprised by Shang Han¡¯s question, however, he answered, ¡°Hmm, I¡¯m not there, what is the matter?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I thought it would be inappropriate for me to assign you with a mission if you have decided to defend the North Sea State, if that is the case, then I will just be straight forward!¡±

    Actually, Shang Han¡¯s question was pertaining to her concerns about the frontline location of the North Sea State, as the North Sea Dessert was at a crucial location that could trigger fatal annihtion to the Four Cities of the North Sea. Hence, it would definitely require a C-tier to be stationed there.

    At first, Gao Yukang did not need to return as there were other ancient warrior families that were stationed there.

    For more than half a year, Shang Han had not been able to figure out what sort of transformation that the North Sea Dessert had gone through, and she presumed that Qin Feng would remain at the North Sea State. Hence, she was surprised to see Qin Feng¡¯s battle achievement submission a few days earlier.

 Chapter 592 - Mission From Shang Han

    <h4>Chapter 592: Mission From Shang Han</h4>

    ¡®This little kid is definitely untameable, but it is unknown why would he go to the Xue Yuan State!¡¯

    Of course, regardless of the reason, Shang Han did not wish to voice out her doubts, and she was afraid that Qin Feng might feel that he was being watched.

    ¡°Governor Qin Feng, now, as the regent of the Northern Region, I officially assign you to a mission!¡± Shang Han gave her order with a serious expression.

    ¡°Yes!¡± Qin Feng was also alerted while he waited for the order from Shang Han.

    ¡°Governor Qin Feng, get to the Dusan Borders and Riwa Basin to take part in the clean up mission, details of the mission can be self-determined, and it shouldst for a month!¡±

    Qin Feng reacted with a surprised expression; however, it was not because of the mission that was assigned from Shang Han, but it was the exact same location that he was nning to go!

    Then, Shang Han awarded Qin Feng with some rewards and funds, it was about the same as the reward for a B-tier general; from Shang Han¡¯s point of view, Qin Feng¡¯s capability was much stronger than any B-tier general.

    If Qin Feng were to be rewarded as a C-tier, it would definitely be an unfair treatment for him to take up the excessive number of tasks for an inadequate sry.

    Shang Han was truly a generous superior!

    ¡°Affirmative, Regent!¡±

    ¡°Alright, you may now go to the nearest city, the waymark will be sent to you!¡± Shang Han ordered.

    ¡°I am now at Winter Fort!¡±

    ¡°Alright then, the item will arrive within thirty minutes!¡±

    ¡°Great!¡± Qin Feng nodded, he was then struck by an idea and asked, ¡°Regent Shang, do we also have hidden powerful figures in the Northern Region? For example... S-tier!¡±

    Shang Han was stunned and continued to ask, ¡°Why would you ask about this? Are you looking for a mentor to upskill yourself?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s just a random question!¡±

    ¡°We do have one, unfortunately, this powerful figure is not associated with dark abilities, fire abilities, and not an ancient warrior, but an ice ability user, S-tier!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s doubt was answered.

    As expected, Shang Han was aware of it.

    ¡°I see!¡±

    ¡°You, from your visit to the Xue Yuan State, could it be that you have already met with the powerful figure?¡± Shang Han was struck by surprise.

    Qin Feng nodded and continued, ¡°If you are referring to Master Hu San, then yes!¡±

    Shang Han stared at Qin Feng, and she was beyond surprised.

    ¡°Frankly, I do not know his name, and I haven¡¯t even met him before, it was myte father that had told me about him, within the Northern Region, Beihua City is not the most dangerous ce, but the Xue Yuan State, where there is presence of a horrifying ultra beast within the gigantic mountain ranges of the outer Xue Yuan State, fortunately, there is a guardian that has been living there.¡±

    ¡°That person is then regarded as the Icy Lake Grandmaster! I thought that it was the recognition of his capability to instantly freeze ake into solid ice, so it was actually because of his family name, Hu?¡±

    Qin Feng was also shocked as he did not expect Hu San to be regarded with such a title, knowing that Shang Han¡¯s father was an elderly person, the Icy Lake Grandmaster was undoubtedly from the early Great Rift Age.

    ¡°Could it be that you have received pointers from him?¡±

    At that moment, even Shang Han could not resist the urge to find out more.

    ¡°No, I did not, but I was actually saved by him, hence, I would like to find out more about my saviour, however, it was inappropriate for me to ask directly!¡±

    ¡°You lucky kid, you are really blessed with good luck!¡± Shang Han eximed and did not get to the bottom of it as the previous question had already crossed the line!

    The both of them remained silent, after the mission assignment, Shang Han did not have anything else for Qin Feng, and themunication was then ended.

    In less than half an hour, a D-tier aptitude user delivery person had arrived at Winter Fort via a spatial waymark from Beihua City.

    Only mission assignment for B-tier or C-tier aptitude users would be executed in such a luxurious way!

    After all, it would at least cost a hundred million.

    After receiving the spatial waymark, Qin Feng left his only message behind for the mayor of Winter Fort, and he brought Bai Li along. The spatial waymark was opened and extended to another location that was unfamiliar to Bai Li, however, Qin Feng knew it well.

    It was the ce where Qin Feng¡¯s life as a mercenary unit and the king of mercenaries began!

    Riwa Basin.

    It was constantly guarded by three B-tier aptitude users throughout the entire year, and when necessary, tens of B-tier aptitude users would arrive within a day for a clean-up mission.

    Meanwhile, as soon as Qin Feng¡¯s vision had recovered, he was already in an extremely spacious lobby, then, a ray of light appeared from the side while the shadow of a person walked out from the rift.

    ¡°Oh? Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°General Xu!¡±

    Qin Feng was able to identify the other person, surprisingly, it was General Xu Qing.

    ¡°Are you also being assigned with the clean-up mission?¡±

    ¡°Seems like General Xu Qing is assigned to the same mission!¡±

    ¡°If I knew Shang Han had sent you, I might not havee here, since you are able to handle the beast wave with ease, this should not be a problem for you!¡± Xu Qing patted Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder.

    Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°Insect waves are not the same as monster waves, here, nobody knows what would happen next, it is still a risky ce, to have General Xu¡¯s assistance here is a much better assurance!¡±

    ¡°Haha, I agree, while the weather and temperature are still changing, let¡¯s hurry up with our clean-up, and the springtime insect wave next year will be slightly weakened!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡±

    Both of themughed and walked out together.

    Soon, they were greeted respectfully by the doorperson at the entrance. At the frontline, not many would pay attention to news from the battle, furthermore, the Prodigy Tournament had always been viewed only by aptitude users that were below twenty years old. At such an age, most of the viewers were below D-tier.

    There, any random soldier that walked by would probably be a C-tier.

    ¡°General Xu Qing, this way please, and the two of you?¡±

    It was because Qin Feng and Bai Li were not wearing their aptitude user badges, the guard frowned and obviously did not know how to address the both of them.

    ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± Qin Feng took out his aptitude user badge and wore it, Bai Li also followed suit.

    ¡°I am assigned by Regent Shang for a mission to clean-up insectoids around the area!¡±

    ¡°Regent Shang?¡± The C-tier was surprised and stared at Qin Feng in an unexpected loathsome look, obviously, the C-tier did not believe in Qin Feng¡¯s ims.

    As an A-tier aptitude user herself, why would Regent Shang specially assign a C-tier aptitude user toe forward for a clean-up mission?

    Perhaps it was just an exaggerated hoax, indeed, it was hrious.

    ¡°Alright, you may have your own free time, General Xu Qing, this way please, a luxurious special guest room is ready at the third floor of the Human Alliance aptitude user lobby!¡±

    Qin Feng was caught betweenughter and tears, knowing that Shang Han had assigned him to enjoy the same treatment as a B-tier. His responsibility was to be stationed at the third floor of the aptitude user lobby, yet, he was just being told to fill in his own free time?

    Xu Qing heard the person, and obviously, he was stunned, his expression became serious and was about to begin with his beratement.

    However, Qin Feng immediately stopped Xu Qing and answered, ¡°General Xu Qing, this is perfect, I am nning to have some free time for myself, if there are any urgent matters, mymunicator is avable!¡±

    While the doorperson was still staring with a loathsome look, Qin Feng gave a hand gesture that symbolized the usage of themunicator. From the point of view of the doorperson, Qin Feng was bragging too much, and even worse, he was trying to falsify his rtionship with General Xu Qing!

 Chapter 593 - Dusan Basin

    <h4>Chapter 593: Dusan Basin</h4>

    ¡°Ay, Qin Feng? Don¡¯t go!¡± Xu Qing yelled immediately, but Qin Feng waved his hand and led Bai Li to the hover tank and left with it.

    Xu Qing was unable to stop Qin Feng from leaving, and it was impossible for him to grab onto Qin Feng and force him to stay!

    Unfortunately, he was a powerful assistance, but he had left in such an unexpected way.

    Meanwhile, the doorperson was also shocked and wondered if he had done something wrong.

    ¡°General Xu? If you need assistance from aptitude users, I can assign him to work under you!¡±

    Xu Qing frowned, however, he still maintained his well-behaved upbringing. ¡°What is your name? Which position are you holding?¡±

    ¡°Reporting to General, my name is Jiang Bo, and I am responsible for task assignment at the Dusan Basin battlefield!¡±

    It was the managerial personnel that the Human Alliance had been cultivating since the beginning, however, his capability and judgements had left Xu Qing speechless.

    ¡°Seems like you would have to strengthen your operations training!¡±

    With that, Xu Qing immediately walked away and did not want to borate more to Jiang Bo.

    ¡°Well... General, what do you mean?¡± Jiang Bo was afraid to walk away, he remained silent and followed closely behind Xu Qing until he had entered into the Human Alliance.

    ¡®Could it be that the little kid earlier was somebody significant?¡¯ With that in mind, Jiang Bo was caught with a shiver that went down his spine.

    While Xu Qing was browsing through the battle scenes from the Human Alliance, Qin Feng was also focusing on something else. The battlefield was different from Longchuan, within the Longchuan mountain range, most of the powerful ultra beasts that roamed around were D-tier beast emperors, here, most of them were C-tier ultra beasts.

    To be specific, they were all insectoids!

    Qin Feng brought Bai Li to settle down at a hotel, they were then connected to the region of the Human Alliance, soon, they were already browsing through the distribution map of the Dusan Basin.

    It was densely filled with ovepping colours that were closely joined together.

    All of them were representing insectoids!

    The Dusan Basin was still in the midst of its winter season. Despite its geographical location, the lowest temperature of the season was not low enough, hence, the activity of the insectoids was only slowed down by a little.

    If it was during the spring breeding season, the insectoid symbol would fill the entire screen with a huge coloured patch that left no gaps in between.

    ¡°Despite therge coverage of the Bloodline Insectoid this time, the location of the queen is also closer!¡±

    ¡°Emerald Praying Mantis, a bit risky!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s just avoid the Plow Worm region!¡±

    Qin Feng was familiar with every attack from the ultra beasts, hence, he was also able to differentiate the capabilities of the insectoids and those that should be prioritized in elimination.

    Soon, Qin Feng had a n in mind.

    However, ns would often be unable to cope with dynamic situations!

    Qin Feng and Bai Li rested for a short moment and went into the aptitude user lobby.

    It was filled with people from all sorts of backgrounds, and C-tier aptitude users weremonly seen.

    A linked city wall simr to Longchuan was also established there. However, there were only three defending forts, and Qin Feng was at the Dusan Central City!

    The other two cities were identified as left and right cities, and all three fortresses were aligned in a triangr shape.

    In such a fortification formation, the central city would be the most stressful one, if it were to be defeated, the rest would be left with the only option to escape.

    Qin Feng walked toward the workstation and looked at the flickering missions; he had then randomly received several insectoid killing missions.

    From the side, discussions from another small team were also heard.

    ¡°How was the harvest today?¡±

    ¡°eptable, just that the injuries were quite bad, we have an injured attacker!¡±

    ¡°Indeed, the gunners are weak!¡±

    ¡°However, it is necessary to have gunners at the Dusan Basin.¡±

    ¡°A newly established corporation has some firearms that are not bad, get more of those!¡±

    ¡°Oh? What are they called?¡±

    ¡°They named themselves as Fengli, and they have quite a lot of advertisements around!¡±

    ¡°Ah, I have heard about them...¡±

    Qin Feng overheard the conversation, he was surprised and felt that it was hrious.

    It seemed like his own brand had expanded quite a lot.

    With that in mind, Qin Feng was suddenly struck by another concern.

    He essed hismunicator and entered his message; he was about to get the Fengli Mercenary Troop to bring along the most powerful firearms and also armor made from repulsive crystals obtained from the secret territory to the Dusan Basin.

    Both of the mythical weapons would definitely securemendable results at Dusan.

    However, as soon as Qin Feng finished typing in the message, he was suddenly alerted by the flickering red light from hismunicator, and an important notification then appeared.

    ¡°An urgent mission, B7-tier aptitude user, published by Quong Po, recruiting one hundred C-tier aptitude users, mission reward: five thousand merits points, C-tier beast general core!¡±

    The surrounding crowd was also alerted by the notification, simultaneously, the crowd eximed in shock.

    The reward of five thousand merit points was definitely in abundance, ording to the C-tier ultra beast kills by Qin Feng, it would be equivalent to reward obtained from five thousand kills, and it could be exchanged with numerous adequate rune equipment. Surprisingly, a C-tier beast general core was also offered.

    If every C-tier present were to go after insectoids that were also C-tier, they could easily gain the upper hand. However, when faced against a beast general, it would require them to cooperate with each other while facing the risk of dying at any time, and the loot had to be distributed among the others.

    Quong Po was definitely giving a lucrative offer.

    A hundred of them were given out within seconds.

    ¡°It¡¯s him?¡± Qin Feng heard the name and he was surprised, however, Qin Feng was not sure whether it was the same person he had in mind.

    It was at that moment, two people hurried down from the second floor of the aptitude user lobby, it was Quong Po, apanied by another C7-tier aptitude user, it was Jiang Bo who had weed Xu Qing¡¯s arrival!

    Quong Po¡¯s age was about forty years old, however, it was inurate to judge the age of an ancient warrior from his physical appearance. In actuality, he could be ten to twenty years older.

    He had a slim and petite physique, he was about a hundred and seventy in height, whenpared to the others that had well-built physique like bulls, he seemed to be the outstanding one.

    Upon the appearance of the person, Qin Feng managed to instantly recognize his identity.

    Thousand Flying Knives, Quong Po!

    Qin Feng knew that the person was not at his actual height, it was actually affected by the practice of a special cultivation method.

    Furthermore, Qin Feng was somehow rted with Quong Po, the Magical Tesseract that Qin Feng had was owned by Quong Po before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth.

    Hence, it was indeed a coincidence.

    Meanwhile, the appearance of Quong Po had drawn everyone¡¯s attention toward him, everyone was focusing on the B-tier aptitude user.

    It was because the more the aptitude user practiced, the more time they had to spend, hence, every high tier aptitude user was idolized and revered by aptitude users from the lower tier.

    It was like D-tier aptitude users that looked up to the C-tiers, and C-tier aptitude users who had immense respect toward the B-tiers.

    Hero ss would be driven by their dominance and arrogance, and with their overwhelming capabilities, they would often neglect the pace of advancement of the ordinary humans.

    However, despite Qin Feng¡¯s capability that was on par with a B-tier, he was still wearing his C-tier aptitude user badge and remained being recognized as a C-tier, but he could not pay his respect toward that person.

    ¡°Everyone, I¡¯ll just be frank, I am going to head toward the thirteenth region to look for someone, if any of you think that you are capable enough, you may just ept the mission, and I will only wait for three minutes!¡±

    The three-minute wait began as soon as Quong Po switched on his watch, however, with such a lucrative reward tied to the mission that only involved looking for someone else, there would definitely be someone that was willing to take the offer.

    However, as soon as the location of the thirteenth region was mentioned, some hesitated.

    ¡°Thirteenth region? Isn¡¯t that the...¡±

 Chapter 594 - Entourage

    <h4>Chapter 594: Entourage</h4>

    The Dusan Basin was an insanely huge ce. Due to a severeck ofndmarks in the area, the ce was roughly divided into many different regions, with each region given a number. And right now, there was a huge den of poisonous monsters appearing in the thirteenth region!

    The Blight Butterflies!

    These butterflies were not powerful creatures. However, the pollen that their wings carried with them was highly poisonous to other creatures. To add more, these pollens were also potent hallucinogens.

    ¡°This ce is quite dangerous!¡± Many frowned after hearing where the ce was.

    ¡°Yea, I don¡¯t think I can handle this region too!¡±

    ¡°Just what kind of people are they recruiting for this task? No one can handle this ce!¡±

    As he watched everyone discussing the matter at hand, Quong Po¡¯s face turned grimmer by the second. He did not want to waste too much time here¡ªin fact, waiting for three minutes was already reaching the limits of his patience.

    Thus, he announced, ¡°I will tag along. But know this! I don¡¯t want some wimps who only know to cower away in battle in this mission. I want proper men who canplete this mission with me! If you¡¯reing, you better be an ability user. Why do you think I¡¯m offering so much money for this, huh?¡±

    After hearing what he had to say, everyone finally understood why the rewards for this mission were so great.

    ¡°Heh, General Quong! Don¡¯t you worry. I¡¯m a wood-type ability user. Although I¡¯m not too much of an outdoor fighter, I¡¯m quite good at locating people.¡±

    A man stepped out from the crowd and volunteered.

    ¡°That¡¯s Yuan Xiaoguang! Hmm, this guy¡¯s good!¡±

    ¡°Hey, maybe we should try out this mission too! There¡¯s like 100 men here. So, there¡¯s bound to be someone who we could work well together!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s do it!¡±

    As Yuan Xiaoguang joined in the party, the others started to tap on theirmunicator to join in the mission too.

    Quong Po took a good look at Yuan Xiaoguang and said, ¡°If we can find my daughter, I¡¯ll double your rewards.¡±

    Everyone was shocked after hearing this.

    Quong Po¡¯s daughter was missing?

    Qin Feng frowned as he saw many¡¯s interest was piqued in joining the party, seemingly not bothered by the dangers ahead.

    The thirteenth region was a perilous ce. Even Qin Feng himself did not want to step into that ce for training. And Quong Po wanted to bring over one hundred C-tiers into that ce? Who would be held responsible if anything went wrong?

    Quong Po was too reckless!

    Still, if he were to try to stop them, there was no way they would listen too! After all, Qin Feng was just one C-tier. There was very little one could do alone to change the course of action when the majority had made up their minds.

    Thus, after giving it a thought, Qin Feng too decided to join in. Well, it would not hurt to do a good deed once in a while!

    ¡°Bai Li, you¡¯reing too!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Bai Li quickly registered to join the mission too. As she finished fiddling with hermunicator, three minutes had passed. Even though not all one hundred men had joined in the party, there were more than half of them joining¡ªabout seventy eight men.

    ¡°Let¡¯s head out!¡± Quong Po did not wait any longer and led the party out of the lobby.

    As they stepped into the za outside, the C-tiers summoned their transports one by one. In less than a minute, over seventy hover tanks appeared in the za. Then, they all tailed Quong Po¡¯s hovercraft out of the city.

    In just 20 minutes, they had arrived at Dusan Basin. Due to its unique geography, this ce was filled with flora and fauna. Of course, other than the wide varieties of nts and trees, there were a lot of venomous insectoids too. Some of these insectoids¡¯ hives even had poisonous cankers nearby too.

    This ce was indeed dangerous¡ªeven more dangerous than the swamps.

    As the hover-tank parade flew through the huge grasnd, something appeared to be spooked!

    Whoosh!

    A bright light beamed up from below and enveloped a hover tank.

    nk!!!

    The hover tank¡¯s energy barrier was prated by the green light, cutting the tank in half!

    Creak... Booom!!!

    The hover tank exploded in an instant as it dropped on the ground!

    The hover tank behind it stopped, blocking the others behind.

    Qin Feng was behind that hover tank too; so, naturally he saw that green light too.

    It was a C2-tier insectoid¡ªEmerald Praying Mantis.

    This thing was about two-meter huge. Despite its small size, the mantis was quite powerful.

    Even though these creatures did not live as a colony, they tended to congregate in the same habitat. When one of them had appeared, there was bound to be several others showing up too!

    Meanwhile, the aptitude user in that exploded tank was thrown out into the air. Due to being a C-tier, his internal energy had formed a barrier and shielded him from the explosion, ensuring his survival.

    However, as he was thrown off, several Emerald Praying Mantises hopped out from the bushes too. When they hid in the bushes, due to their green-colored body it was quite difficult to spot them. However, as they leaped out, their bodies were sparkling with green shines under the sun.

    ¡°What?!¡± That aptitude user was shocked and went into a panic.

    Even though he was a C3-tier aptitude user, death was most likely inevitable when he was surrounded by five of these mantises.

    ¡°Tiger Leap!¡±

    The aptitude user yelled out loudly as his internal energy burst wildly. In thest moment, he did a flip mid-air and evaded a fatal blow.

    However, all he was able to evade was the first two attacks. There was a third shing his way...

    As an Emerald Praying Mantis waved its de toward him, all that awaited him was for his energy barrier to break and then... like his tank, he would be cut in half.

    Booom!!!

    Suddenly, extreme heat burst toward both of them. In an instant, a fiery energy beam pierced through the Emerald Praying Mantis¡¯s head, burning everything above its neck.

    nk!

    The scythe on the mantis¡¯s arm stillnded on the aptitude user¡¯s body. Thankfully, due to its wavering momentum, the de did not cut him open.

    Pwooosh!! Boom! Boom! Boom! Booom!

    Four fiery beams were shot rapidly, killing every single Emerald Praying Mantis that was trying to hunt down that aptitude user.

    It was then, the others finally realized what just happened and started to fire their tank¡¯s weaponry or their powers at the mantises. Some ancient warriors even hopped down from their tanks to do a quick reconnaissance.

    Thus, the Emerald Praying Mantises, especially the first one that cut down the tank, were blown to pieces.

    ¡°Phew! Thanks, mate! You totally saved my life back there!¡± The aptitude user approached Qin Feng to thank him.

    ¡°You¡¯re wee. We¡¯re teammates now. You¡¯d do the same for me too.¡±

    Qin Feng waved his hand at the aptitude user and leaped out from his hover tank to collect some Emerald Praying Mantises, throwing them into his pocket dimension.

    It was then Quong Po too had gotten down from his hover tank too. After seeing the dead mantises, he took a careful look around. After seeing that no one had died from the encounter, Quong Po breathed in relief.

    ¡°We¡¯re now in the outer areas of Dusan. But we haven¡¯t reached the thirteenth region yet. Nheless, this ce is still as dangerous as the other areas too. Come down from your vehicles. We¡¯re hiking from here. With our speed, we can reach our destination in no time!¡±

    ¡°Yes, sir! Come on, guys! Listen to General Quong!¡± Jiang Po called out to everyone loudly.

    Thus, Quong Po¡¯s entourage got down from their hovercrafts. In an instant, over seventy C-tiers and D-tiers had grouped together.

    It was like they said¡ªthe more people in a group, the more powerful and gutsy one would be.

    After all, there were many C-tiers with them too. Not only that, there was also a B-tier leading them!

    They feared nothing now!

 Chapter 595 - The Shinla Devils

    <h4>Chapter 595: The Shi Devils</h4>

    Quong Po was rushing ahead quite anxiously¡ªwhich was understandable since he was worried for his daughter.

    Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

    Quong Po¡¯s throwing knives darted out, swift like shooting stars, as they were journeying onward. The man was quite strong and powerful. Each knife hit precisely on the Insectoids¡¯ heads. Even if they had note out of their hiding, he was able to tell where they were by sensing their presence.

    This was how a B-tier rolled.

    After hiking for an hour, they finally reached the thirteenth region. The area had a huge ordinary-looking grasnd, much like in other areas. There were also countless beautiful flowers blooming in the area too; however, there was weird vapor fuming above these flowers, radiating and glinting the colors of a rainbow.

    As they saw the huge shrubs with the flowers about five hundred meters ahead of them, the party stopped their steps and put on their guard.

    ¡°I¡¯vee in a hurry so I haven¡¯t done much preparation for this rescue mission. If any of you have extra medicines and supplies, you can sell them to me. I¡¯ll delegate them to everyone.¡± Quong Po said out loudly.

    Jiang Po smiled. ¡°General Quong, you are already going to pay us the rewards. So, we could not ask you to do more than that. Leave these trivial matters to us. It¡¯s just some herbs and medicines. We can handle them.¡±

    After saying this, Jiang Po took out a pill and swallowed it.

    The others frowned as they looked at Jiang Po. What a bootlicker! Although they did not mind handling these things themselves, they did not like Jiang Po¡¯s brown-nosing attitude.

    Of course, they were not going to ask for money anyway when they shared their supplies. However, Jiang Po¡¯s words made it sound like they were all greedy hyenas. As they rolled their eyes at Jiang Po, they waved their hands and said the general did not need to worry about them.

    Many of them were C-tiers, meaning they all had great financial assets with them. Thus, it was quite natural for these guys toe prepared. Like Qin Feng, he always had some cleansing Lotus Seeds on him at all times. That was how they survived up until this point¡ªalways be prepared.

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave these to you all then. Let¡¯s go!¡± Quong Po nodded.

    The party of seventy men clenched their antidote herbs firmly in their hands as they ventured into the thirteenth region. As they walked slowly into the ce, Qin Feng suddenly frowned as he turned his head.

    ¡°Watch out!¡± Qin Feng took Bai Li¡¯s hand and walked into a shrub of flowers.

    Meanwhile at the top of a hill about one thousand meters away, several guns were aiming at the party.

    ¡°Oh, look! About seventy prey for us! Nice!¡±

    A curve of grin beamed up on the leader of these goons.

    One of the snipers frowned. ¡°The aptitude user behind the whole team seemed to have noticed us. Just now, I saw him ncing in our direction.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Diran has already used his conscious energy to conceal us. No one can see us.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, Diran was a prodigy back then. He¡¯s 28 years old this year and yet he¡¯s already reached C5-tier. His powers are not on the same level as the other ordinary aptitude users. He¡¯s at least a king-tier! These men would never see using!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, and that kid hasn¡¯t even matured yet. He might not even have pubic hair yet! Haha! This boy must be trying to woo that girl there!¡±

    ¡°How pathetic! He doesn¡¯t even know what danger lies ahead of him. Haha! Perhaps holding that girl¡¯s hand is all he could do before he dies!¡±

    These men started tough out loudly as they mocked at the ¡°kid¡±.

    Yet, they seemed to have missed one crucial point. This ¡°kid¡± was young indeed; but how did he reach C-tier and join this party? If this boy was a prodigy too, then he could very well also be a king-tier himself.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was thinking to himself as he tailed behind the party.

    ¡®Hmm, it seems that the rumor about Quong Po shing with the Shi Devils is true. Word had it that these viins cornered and murdered his daughter... Hmm, does Quong Po know what¡¯s going to happen? Heh, still... ughtering members from a dark organization outside of the Human Alliance could yield a lot of goodies!¡¯

    A curve of smile beamed up on Qin Feng¡¯s face.

    His real reason for joining the party was of course not just to rescue Quong Po¡¯s daughter¡ªit was because he remembered something from his previous life.

    Besides, his internal energy needed just a little push before he could ascend again.

    Ascending by killing enemies was always much faster than any rigorous training.

    Qin Feng needed to ascend fast. So, this was for the best.

    ¡°This ce is too huge! Let¡¯s split up!¡± Quong Po said.

    ¡°Wait, General Kong! I found something!¡± Yuan Xiaoguang announced loudly. Then, in an instant, several vines grew from the grass, carrying a piece of cloth.

    It appeared to be a dark crimson jacket, one that seemed to be made of good quality materials.

    Quong Po¡¯s face turned grim after seeing it.

    ¡°That¡¯s my daughter¡¯s jacket!¡±

    ¡°Found her!¡±

    ¡°Yay! Wow, so easy, huh?¡±

    The others did not expect things to go so smoothly. They were also relieved that they did not need to split up. After all, this ce was quite dangerous.

    ¡°Yuan Xiaoguang, where did you find this? Show us!¡±

    ¡°Sure, follow me!¡±

    The party then followed Yuan Xiaoguang into the deeper parts of the area. The mist grew thicker and thicker as they ventured deeper.

    Suddenly, in the mist, there was a faint glint of light.

    ¡°Wow! Pretty!¡± Bai Li¡¯s eyes glimmered when she saw it.

    A beautiful butterfly appeared before them. As it fluttered its pearly white wings around, it looked like it was dancing gracefully in the mist.

    ¡°Careful!¡±

    Everyone¡¯s face turned grim.

    It was a Blight Butterfly! The fabled silent killer in the thirteenth area.

    Then, several more butterflies appeared and danced together with the first butterfly. These Blight Butterflies were as huge as a washing basin. Their movements were not fast as they fluttered around gracefully, like they were dancing in a ball.

    Despite their frail appearance, these butterflies were C-tier insectoids¡ªall thanks to their poisonous pollen.

    After seeing more and more Blight Butterflies appearing and dancing together in the mist, all that everyone felt right now was terror.

    Even Bai Li was frowning when she saw this.

    Then, the mist around them started to get thicker by the second!

    ¡°We must act now. We can¡¯t wait it out or else we¡¯ll all be poisoned!¡±

    Some men were already feeling light-headed and quickly gulped down their antidote herbs.

    However, Qin Feng did not feel much effect from the Blight Butterflies¡¯ pollens¡ªthis was probably due to him having consumed cleansing Lotus Seeds before.

    Yet, these butterflies... they were so annoying.

    Thus, with a pinch of his conscious energy, Qin Feng summoned his Fire Dragon.

    Bai Li anxiously said, ¡°Hey, don¡¯t burn them all to crisp! I want to use some of these butterflies to make myself a pretty dress!¡±

    Bai Li stared at Bai Li speechlessly.

    ¡®Sometimes, it¡¯s quite difficult to understand just what Bai Li¡¯s thinking.¡¯

    Still, Qin Feng called back his Fire Dragon. It was a good idea to not reveal his hand for now. As such, he summoned his pocket dimension and pulled out a saber.

    It was not the Verdant Emperor Saber. It was just an ordinary rune saber.

    Still, the saber had some silver glints on its de¡ªit was the runes of a beast king.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Voooom!

    As his internal energy rushed into the saber, the silver de became sharper than before.

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    In less than a second, Qin Feng had dashed into the middle of the Blight Butterflies¡¯ ball.

    The Blight Butterflies seemed to have been spooked as they fiercely fluttered their wings.

    ¡°Whooosh!¡±

    In an instant, wild winds started to blow!

 Chapter 596 - Splitting Up

    <h4>Chapter 596: Splitting Up</h4>

    Fierce wind blew as the Blight Butterflies slowly and forcefully fluttered their wings. These butterflies were using wind runes!

    Thud Thud Thud Thud!

    The wild wind crashed onto Qin Feng¡¯s energy barrier but they could not break it. Qin Feng¡¯s energy barrier was formed from his internal energy, after all. And his internal energy was quite powerful now.

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng had reached the Blight Butterflies and his dended on a butterfly in one swing. This sh had one percent of his internal energy in it¡ªthus, the Blight Butterfly was cut in half like butter.

    This was easy for Qin Feng; but it was quite impossible for the others to do that.

    After all, his one percent of internal energy was like one-tenth of the internal energy of any other C9-tier. Even though everyone in the party were of different tiers, they would usually opt to conserve their internal energy unless needed. To them, their internal energies were quite limited.

    Qin Feng, however, had a lot of internal energy to spare.

    Pffft! Pfft! Pffft!

    Qin Feng yed three more Blight Butterflies in the next second.

    After witnessing him doing this with ease, the others were stunned. Since when were Blight Butterflies this weak?

    Thus, an ancient warrior stepped forward and shed his sword at the butterflies too. However, his energy barrier was crushed to pieces as the C-tier insectoids¡¯ wind desnded on him.

    Kreeesh!

    One of the wind desnded on his body, cutting his body open and sending him flying into the air! His blood started to drip out of hisbat suit. In a few seconds, potent venom started to spread across his body.

    White foams started to bubble from the ancient warrior¡¯s mouth as hey on the ground motionlessly.

    The Blight Butterflies¡¯ poisonous pollen was no joke!

    ¡°Be on your guard! Don¡¯t rush in recklessly!¡± Quong Pomanded.

    Then, he started to inject his internal energies onto his throwing knives before hurling them out.

    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Several dozens of throwing knives darted out and shed through the air, pinning a dozen of the annoying butterflies.

    The others were delighted when they saw this. They had a B-tier with them; so, there was no need to worry too much.

    After recovering their confidence, the aptitude users started to calm down.

    Indeed, these Blight Butterflies were terrifying. However, they were no weaklings either. Thus, they worked together to attack the insectoids and kill them one by one.

    After a few minutes, the butterflies were all yed.

    The unlucky ancient warrior too was saved after one of the aptitude users injected him with his antidote.

    After the battle, everyone naturally noticed Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities. This boy was able to kill more than thirty Blight Butterflies alone, showing that he was quite formidable. Even Jiang Po, who looked down at him, was staring at Qin Feng with his mouth wide open.

    ¡®No wonder General Xu Qing was trying to recruit this young man. He¡¯s really good!¡¯

    As he was thinking to himself, Jiang Po started to feel a sting of jealousy. Qin Feng was strong and powerful; so, it was quite natural for Xu Qing to take notice of him. Yet, he had served all these generals earnestly all his life! And the general never praised him, ever. This made Jiang Po upset.

    Of course, given the situation at hand, Jiang Po could not afford to entertain these thoughts. He quickly collected the loots and handed them to Quong Po before continuing to journey on.

    Bai Li, on the other hand, was pouting. The Blight Butterflies were all collected by Jiang Po and now in Quong Po¡¯s hands! Noo!! Her butterfly-wing dress!!!

    ¡°Hey, chin up. When weplete our mission, we could ask him for the materials. Even if he doesn¡¯t give them up, we could still head back to the markets in Dusan Central City. Surely there¡¯s someone selling these butterflies¡¯ wings. And it¡¯s quite usual for a raiding team like this to split their loot after the mission. See? We did the same too back when I was leading the ultra beast hunts. Remember?¡±

    Bai Li lightened up after hearing this. ¡°Hmph! Of course I know that. What? You think I¡¯m a child?¡±

    ¡°Well, you are actually still a child!¡± Qin Feng smiled.

    ¡°No... I¡¯m all grown up now!¡± Bai Li muttered to herself.

    As they were talking, Yuan Xiaoguang found another dark crimson cloth in the area. However, he had spooked another wave of Blight Butterflies when he picked it up.

    The party then spent a dozen minutes battling the butterflies.

    When they found the third dark crimson cloth, everyone frowned. They looked at one another, wanting to say something but dared not to.

    Seeing that these people were not talking, Qin Feng did not want to waste time anymore. He knew someone was watching them in the dark. If they kept on searching like this, this would yield very little result other than getting more Blight Butterfly materials.

    ¡°General Quong, something¡¯s off. Even if your daughter had identally stepped into the thirteenth region, there¡¯s no way her clothes would be shed to pieces like this. The Blight Butterflies don¡¯t have abilities to do that. Even if they could, there is no way they would leave the pieces of the jacket like this and not leave any trail of blood.¡± Qin Feng made his deduction to Quong Po.

    Yuan Xiaoguang seemed to agree, ¡°He¡¯s right, General Kong. I haven¡¯t found traces of blood so far. I¡¯m afraid this could be a trap!¡±

    Quong Po frowned. ¡°I¡¯ve received Quong Ting¡¯s message that she¡¯s stuck in the thirteenth region. However, there was no clue as to where exactly she was. Even if these clothes were not cut off by the insectoids, these could be the traces that Quong Ting left behind when she fled from them!¡±

    ¡°If I remember correctly, the entire thirteenth region is covered by themunicatorwork. General Quong, can you still detect your daughter¡¯s signal?¡± Qin Feng suggested.

    After hearing this, Quong Po¡¯s face turned grim. In fact, after receiving the message, he was not able to connect to hermunicator at all.

    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll head deeper into the thirteenth region and search for her. It¡¯s best that you bring the rest of the party out of the thirteenth region for now, Sir. They are all worn out.¡±

    It was true. Some of these men had started to show symptoms of hallucinating and not able to focus their conscious energy. It was clear that they were tired and starting to feel the effects of the thirteenth region¡¯s mist.

    Quong Po hesitated as he looked at his men.

    He had gathered this many people because he knew that the thirteenth region was quite huge. As such, with this many people, they could split up and search for his daughter. Yet, from the moment they found traces of his daughter until now, everyone was still sticking together. Despite that, they still faced a lot of trouble handling the Blight Butterflies.

    It had been three hours since they first stepped into the thirteenth region and they yielded no results. Not only that, these men were exhausted.

    Seeing Quong Po frowning, Yuan Xiaoguang suggested, ¡°How about I go with him? I could aid him in his efforts too.¡±

    Qin Feng took a nce at Yuan Xiaoguang. This man was a wood type ability user. With him by his side, traversing in the woods would be much easier. Due to the flora and fauna in the area, Yuan Xiaoguang might actually do better than Qin Feng at the right moments.

    Not only that, the fact that he couldmunicate with nt life meant that it would be easier for them to search for any clues of Quong Ting¡¯s whereabouts.

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Despite seeing Qin Feng¡¯s prowess inbat, Quong Po seemed to trust Yuan Xiaoguang more ¡ªafter all, it was him that found all those pieces of his daughter¡¯s jacket.

    Besides, Qin Feng was a neer in Dusan Central City. Compared to him, Quong Po had heard about Yuan Xiaoguang more since he had already attained some name for himself in the Dusanmunity.

    Meanwhile, a camera was recording everything in the shadows.

    It was an extremely stealthy tactical camera. Not spending much of his conscious energy to scout his surroundings, Qin Feng had not noticed it yet. Although Yuan Xiaoguang could talk to trees, these nt life was no human either¡ªso unless the trees knew about technology, they could not tell him about the camera.

    Thus, every single move that the party made was sent out to its recipients.

 Chapter 597 - Insidious Trap

    <h4>Chapter 597: Insidious Trap</h4>

    ¡°Looks like someone¡¯s foiled our ns. The situation hadn¡¯t gone as expected, and there¡¯s quite a number of people!¡±

    ¡°So what, who cares if there are more people? They¡¯re all justmbs for ughter!¡±

    ¡°The beast lure has been set, ready cannons!¡±

    ¡°At once!¡±

    ¡°Wait for them to trickle out a bit more, lest the Blight Butterflies don¡¯t get scattered so easily. We might have to wait for a few days before we can go in and collect the spoils!¡±

    ¡°Haha, yeah but they¡¯ve got a B-tier. We¡¯re gonna be rich!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve checked this Quong Po person out already, if he rushes out he¡¯s not going to be a problem for me!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, Diran you¡¯re basically a king-rank and more importantly, Quong Po¡¯s power just so happens to be conquered by yours!¡±

    ¡°A perfect n!¡±

    While these people waited for Quong Po to return, Qin Feng and his people naturally headed deeper.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    As his consciousness was mobilized, a patch of darkness suddenly appeared around them and covered up the three people. Their surroundings became hazy but the perception of the Blight Butterflies were greatly reduced.

    ¡°You¡¯re also an ability user!¡± Yuan Xiaoguang was slightly caught off guard!

    Qin Feng¡¯s previous fearsome disy was eye-catching, Yuan Xiaoguang would have never imagined that Qin Feng did not just use ancient martial arts. When the ability appeared and the Blight Butterflies were deterred, he knew that it was far stronger than the ones casted by other dark ability users.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°Always keep aces up your sleeve. Come on, we should hurry. Something¡¯s not right, I¡¯m worried that Master Quong might be in trouble!¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang chuckled nervously, ¡°If Master Quong is in danger, then I doubt we can do much!¡±

    Qin Feng did not seem to care but he did not refute Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s words either and continued to press onward.

    After reaching C-tier, their speed would improve as well. Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s consciousness was strong and he managed to keep up with Qin Feng, who was moving forward with Dragon Steps.

    ¡°There¡¯s one here!¡±

    ¡°Over here too!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s already too deep here, my heart¡¯s starting to pound. I feel like something bad is about to happen!¡±

    They moved quickly and in less than ten minutes, they found two pieces of abat uniform. However, they found no traces of Quong Po¡¯s daughter.

    By now even though they knew it was a trap, they had to see it through till the end!

    ¡°There¡¯s another one here!¡± Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s consciousness detected another piece of thebat uniform. It was hanging from a bundle of thorny vines. Yuan Xiaoguang pulled in a vine from a distance with his consciousness to pluck the piece of cloth away.

    ¡°Wait!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s expression shifted as he tried to stop Yuan Xiaoguang.

    It was toote, his consciousness moved too quickly and the controlled vine had already taken the cloth.

    On the cloth, an invisible thread snapped as it was plucked off. Suddenly, something hidden ten meters away from them quickly burst.

    Bang!

    The power of this explosion was not that great, it was only about three meters in diameter but there was no trace of fire in this explosion. The only thing that indicated its st zone was a dusting of white powder.

    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang was shocked!

    ¡°Beast lure powder!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately blurted out the name. This was a trick used by the Dark Coalition. He had encountered this before his rebirth, and this was the first time he was actually caught in one.

    Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s face was drained of color.

    It was unclear how strong this powder was, but he knew that he had made a dire mistake and this was the kind of mistake that could lead to his death!

    ¡°Run, we need to run!¡± Yuan Xiaoguang said.

    Qin Feng grabbed the other¡¯s shoulder and said in a hushed voice, ¡°Calm down, I¡¯m a dark ability user. What are you afraid of?¡±

    Qin Feng usedforting words. It was not very effective.

    The powder was carried through the wind and very quickly the entirety of the thirteenth region felt like it was being shaken up by people.

    At this moment, from a valley thousands of meters away, in an area packed with all kinds of what looked like massive silkworm chrysalis, burst out a swarm of Blight Butterflies.

    These butterflies were a sight to behold with their magnificent, fluorescent colors that seemed to make them glow.

    However, their numbers were constantly increasing.

    One thousand, two thousand...

    Three thousand, five thousand...

    They were starting to reach an unimaginable number.

    ¡°Run away!¡±

    Qin Feng and his group of three began to make a break for it.

    ¡®That Shi group is ruthless!¡¯

    If Quong Po and the others were here, even if Quong Po managed to escape, the others would not have made it out alive.

    ¡°Holy- that¡¯s a lot!¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s face had turned pale by now, his consciousness stretched all the way to its limit.

    By now, there was a strong wind blowing around them. Among that swarm of butterflies, a Blight Butterfly that was around five meters wide appeared.

    ¡°A Butterfly King, it¡¯s a king level insectoid beast!¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang was terrified beyond measure.

    For a C-tier, C-tier ultra beasts were already hard to deal with, let alone a C-tier insectoid beast king.

    One could kill a number of C-tiers in the matter of seconds, unless there was a B-tier present, it could not be defeated!

    Whoosh!

    Among the swarm, three more kings appeared.

    The aura of the insectoid king was already very oppressive. Yuan Xiaoguang felt that it was hard to take another step forward, and not only that he could feel his consciousness rapidly declining.

    Woom!

    Qin Feng ran to his side and immediately used his internal force to envelop Yuan Xiaoguang. This made it easier for Yuan Xiaoguang to recollect himself.

    By now, the three Butterfly Kings had already noticed Qin Feng and the others, and they immediately began to p their wings.

    A whirlwind was conjured out of thin air and within this swirling tornado, the powder that the butterflies carried were being mixed in. The tornado was full of toxins!

    Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s consciousness ¡®saw¡¯ this and he immediately shouted, ¡°Not good!¡±

    ¡°Verdant Giant Wood!¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s consciousness surged and behind them, a towering tree suddenly rose out of the ground!

    A C-tier ability user, although he was fleeing in a hurry, his true power was definitely not weak.

    As the tree reached more than twenty meters in the blink of an eye, it collided with the tornado.

    Boom!

    The tree waspletely shattered but this ability prevented the tornado from getting closer.

    It also attracted more Blight Butterflies.

    The speed of the fleeing three was not as fast as the butterflies.

    Or perhaps, Yuan Xiaoguang was not as fast as the butterflies and Qin Feng had not allowed Bai Li to whisk them away with teleportation yet!

    Qin Feng did not intend on continuing to run.

    By now, the butterflies were going to overwhelm them, looming over their heads like an unyielding tsunami about to crash into the beach and wash the people still on it away.

    ¡°Looks like you¡¯re going to have to wait longer for that skirt you wanted from Master Quong!¡± Qin Feng sighed.

    Bai Li locked onto the three beast kings and said, ¡°No worries, beast kings are better. Leave those three to me!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    As soon as Qin Feng was done talking, he stomped his foot on the ground and his consciousness abruptly burst forth.

    ¡°World Ame!¡±

    A huge roaring me suddenly burst out around him.

    Everything within a hundred meters turned into a world on fire. The ground was covered with magma that erupted upward, and soaring over these pirs were ming dragons and fiery birds!

    The world had been set ame!

 Chapter 598 - The Butterfly Emperor

    <h4>Chapter 598: The Butterfly Emperor</h4>

    The screeching whirlwind rushed over and was instantly consumed by the fire. The wind only blew to make the fires stronger, causing the World Ame to unleash an even greater power.

    A red cloud appeared in the sky beforerge gouts of me began to rain down from it, showering the Blight Butterflies with fire and even burning away the mist that lingered in the air. Everything was burned away by this intense heat.

    There were no more toxins in the air.

    The beautiful Blight Butterflies fell into the magma below and were burnt to a crisp.

    There seemed to be dozens to hundreds of them getting killed off each second!

    Being killed off at this rate meant that no matter how many butterflies there were, none of them would have been able to resist this level of annihtion.

    Qin Feng felt a continuous flow of energy seeping into his body, strengthening his physical form and consciousness.

    Although the Blight Butterflies were not physically strong, they definitely contained a lot of energy.

    Yuan Xiaoguang, who was standing nearby, waspletely dumbfounded by this. The only area that was not affected by the Fire Wall was the patch of ground they were standing on!

    He watched magma flow around him, the ming clouds above densely packed together as fireballs rained down from the sky. Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s attention eventuallynded on Qin Feng.

    As an ability user, he naturally knew how strong one had to be in order to be releasing such a powerful ability.

    ¡°This ability, World Ame, is just like World of Trees. Until now, I¡¯ve never understood the runes for World of Trees, not only that, it takes too much consciousness to control. How many seconds can he manage?¡±

    One minuteter, Yuan Xiaoguang thought he was almost done.

    Five minutester, he was looking at Qin Feng in a different light.

    Ten minutester, he was absolutely shocked.

    Qin Feng¡¯s power hadpletely exceeded Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s expectations.

    Among the mes, besides the Blight Butterflies, there was only Bai Li!

    She was shrouded with spatial runes, moving freely and unpredictably. In the next moment, she appeared next to a Butterfly King.

    Whap!

    The Spatial Whip struck, ripping open spatial cracks that had formed into arge ck mouth that swallowed the Butterfly King¡¯s abdomen.

    Crack!

    The wound caused by the spatial rift tearing away the Butterfly King¡¯s abdomen began to flow with a yellow-greenish liquid.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so pretty on the outside, yet so disgusting on the inside!¡± Bai Li said, unleashing her spatial ability as she continued to tear away at the Butterfly King.

    The two other kings came to attack, but she escaped once more.

    She instantly reappeared behind the injured Butterfly King, lifting both her hands to manifest a pair of beast-like ws with each grabbing onto the Butterfly King¡¯s wings!

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Riiip!

    The Butterfly King was split in half, its body torn asunder.

    Even its previously hidden crystal core had fallen out.

    Bai Li used two spatial des to slice off the Butterfly King¡¯s wings and sent its remains tumbling into theva below. The wings were then stuffed into her own space.

    Her ferocious battle was seen by Yuan Xiaoguang, and for a moment he could not believe what he was seeing.

    A beast king that could level a small city had been killed, just like that!

    It was not surprising. Bai Li was a beast emperor. Whether in terms of rank or species, there was no way that these kings could match her.

    Using the same method, Bai Li quickly dispatched the other two Butterfly Kings and stuffed the materials they dropped into her space.

    Once the three kings were dead, Qin Feng summoned up Magma Pirs to take down the butterflies that were fighting the fire dragons and fire birds. Half of the swarm had already been burned away.

    The butterflies outside were still rushing in like moths to a me that continued to burn no matter how many of them there were. An unyielding tide.

    All of a sudden, arger butterfly came into view.

    Its wings were ten meters long and was decorated with a beautiful pattern that webbed over its wings. They were pink with blue highlights, and were far more extravagantpared to the other butterflies.

    As it flew, it led countless butterflies toward Bai Li.

    ¡°Beast emperor!!!¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang originally thought that they had a chance of winning but right then, after seeing such a creature his legs became jelly.

    The pressure of the beast emperor weighed down on him. Even the mes around it seemed to recede.

    This was a C5-tier beast emperor.

    Only a little bit weaker than Bai Li, but still powerful in its own right.

    It was because of this female butterfly that the thirteenth region was so terrifying.

    Whoosh!

    The wings of the Blight Butterfly Emperor swept up a blue-colored whirlwind, kicking up the surrounding fog once again. Except this was not fog, it was butterfly scales.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s eyes suddenly turned red as he looked to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Run, quick! The Butterfly Emperor is here!¡±

    Countless images shed before Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s eyes. The moment the Butterfly Emperor appeared, Bai Li shed with it at the cost of her life. In the end, Qin Feng managed to kill it but sustained massive injuries to his body.

    Just as they escaped danger, a group of ck-dded individuals appeared out of nowhere and immediately killed the weakened Qin Feng, stealing the Butterfly Emperor¡¯s crystal core in the process.

    ¡°You! You actually killed him!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re not gonna get away!¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang roared and charged toward the people in ck.

    In reality, the person Yuan Xiaoguang was attacking was actually Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng knew that Yuan Xiaoguang had been poisoned and easily sidestepped his attack. His internal force burst forth and tapped the side of Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s neck.

    The man immediately crashed onto the ground and was out cold.

    Qin Feng dragged Yuan Xiaoguang back to where he originally stood with his consciousness and enveloped themselves in his internal force. The surrounding mes continued to burn, shing with the flurry of butterfly scales that came down on them like a blizzard.

    His line of sight was filled with flickers of white trying to overpower red, energies shing with one another.

    He finally locked onto the Butterfly Emperor¡¯s position.

    ¡°Bai Li, trap it!¡±

    Qin Feng called out.

    She naturally understood what he meant.

    ¡°Spatial Lock!¡±

    In an instant, the Butterfly Emperor waspletely sealed in a space!

    Qin Feng raised his hand and the energy of the Sacred Armor immediately burst out!

    Bzzt!

    A ray of light streaked through the me, piercing through the coat of white as it approached the Butterfly Emperor!

    Bai Li immediately released her lock.

    Boom!

    A burst of light shone through!

    The flurry around them seemed to stop, everything around them seemed frozen, even the powerful Butterfly Emperor in the air.

    It turned out, the powerful Butterfly Emperor was split in half!

    The Butterfly Emperor had been in!

    A terrifying energy flowed out and at this moment, Qin Feng felt a familiar aura emerge.

    His physical form had reached a limit and he had just ranked up!

    C5-tier physical strength!

    His consciousness had also skyrocketed, the surrounding mes red up with renewed intensity and burned away all the scales around them!

    The Butterfly Emperor¡¯s aura had disappeared and when the Blight Butterflies realized that something had gone wrong, they all fluttered their wings and scattered as fast as they could.

 Chapter 599 - Quong Poâ€™s Weakness

    <h4>Chapter 599: Quong Po¡¯s Weakness</h4>

    Even if these Butterflies wanted to escape, Qin Feng would not have let them.

    ¡°Dissipate!¡±

    Qin Feng called back the World Ame, extinguishing the fire around him and leaving his surroundings a charred wastnd.

    ¡°Bai Li, grab him!¡±

    He directed a finger toward Yuan Xiaoguang and Bai Li wrapped her consciousness around the ability user to carry him aloft. It was then Qin Feng unleashed his next move.

    ¡°Decaying Rain!¡±

    As his consciousness began to shift, dark clouds gathered in the sky and rained down a storm of ck inky liquid that drenched the bodies of the fleeing butterflies.

    Massive holes began to appear in their wings as they were eroded away.

    He pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber and charged at the flightless Blight Butterflies, immediately shing through the ones within reach.

    For a thousand meters, the ground was littered with the bodies of those butterflies and not far away was the home base of these creatures.

    Their nest!

    An insectoid¡¯s nest was thergest threat one could find in the Dusan Basin. Destroying one would yield a reward that was worth between 5 trillion to 10 trillion!

    This amount of money was the equivalent of the material received from ying a B-tier beast emperor.

    However, a C-tier beast emperor would require the joint effort of four to five B-tiers in order to defeat it. After the money was split, it did not seem like much. As for a C-tier, any kind of beast emperor was terrifying to deal with.

    As such, while Bai Li might make killing a beast emperor seem easy, anyone that tried to take on one alone or with just one of their friends would end up very dead.

    Qin Feng turned on hismunicator¡¯s video recording function and pulled out a few heavy artillery from his spatial rune equipment.

    Yuan Xiaoguang had been knocked out earlier, as such Qin Feng was able to freely use the Sacred Armor¡¯s power. It would be best if nobody found out about the powerful trump cards that he carried on his person.

    That was why he could not use the Sacred Armor if he wanted to film himself shooting the insectoids.

    ¡°This is my chance to advertise for the Fengli Organization!¡± The cannon Qin Feng pulled out was like a tank¡¯s cannon. The diameter of the gun spanned about one or two meters. It was big enough to squeeze a person or two into it.

    He loaded a two-meter long missile into it and aimed at the insectoid nest.

    With a squeeze of the trigger, the missile screeched its way toward its target.

    His consciousness elerated the missile just before it collided with the nest.

    The nest traveled one hundred meters deep into the ground and spread out into a wide area.

    ¡°Explode!¡±

    Qin Feng used his consciousness to detonate the missile.

    BOOM!

    An explosion rang out in the distance, like a p of muffled thunder as the ground in front of him began to copse inward.

    Rumble rumble!

    As the ground copsed, the insectoid nest waspletely destroyed.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    His consciousness moved and spread into the insectoid nest below, consuming the auras of the dying beasts deep underground.

    His physical body began to enhance, moving one-third closer to bing C6 tier while his consciousness had almost be C6-tier.

    ¡®Gunners will definitely be a powerful ss in the future!¡¯

    Qin Feng looked at what he had done and thought to himself, especially after he had acquired so much technology.

    Now that those A-tier families had begun to research ways to be more powerful, so why would he not do the same? Many extremely powerful firearms and weapons had already been produced by him.

    ¡°The problem is that the battlefield is hard to sweep through. Loot might be destroyed as well!¡±

    Special materials that contained runes were not easily destroyed, but since the insectoids had all been crushed underground and Qin Feng did not have any extra manpower to assist him, he could not retrieve them.

    ¡°Bai Li, scan for beast general crystal cores and retrieve them!¡±

    ¡°Understood!¡± She mobilized her consciousness over the insectoid nest while Qin Feng cleaned up the Blight Butterflies who managed to escape the destruction of their nest.

    At this moment, there was a distant explosion which surprised him.

    He scanned the location of the insectoid nest but could not find the st zone of the new explosion.

    Rumble!

    When he heard another sound, he immediately realized what just happened.

    ¡°Not good!¡±

    He turned his head in the direction and saw a thick column of smoke rising in the horizon. Obviously a battle had urred there.

    A battle covered by artillery bombardment.

    ¡°The Shi Devils!¡±

    Qin Feng knew it had to be them!

    ¡°Bai Li, let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng said with urgency.

    Bai Li waved her hand and caused more than sixty beast general crystal cores to appear in front of her. These were the ones that she managed to find and there were still more that were toote for her to seek out.

    Soon, Qin Feng and Bai Li, as well Yuan Xiaoguang in his still unconscious state, instantly appeared a thousand kilometers away.

    Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

    They had managed to cross a distance of a thousand kilometers with great speed.

    Within half a minute, they managed to reach the scene where the battle was taking ce.

    However, this was not a battle between the Shi Devils and Quong Po¡¯s group. It was Quong Po¡¯s group against a swarm of Blight Butterflies.

    Besides that, Qin Feng picked up a familiar scent.

    Beast lure powder!

    The Shi Devils had a very simple way of doing things. They used special bullets and long-range guns to attack. These long distance ammunition would be easily deflected by powerful consciousness barriers, as such those were not used. It was due to distance being the issue, meaning that the consciousness that guided them would be weaker and make them easier to deflect.

    As such, they used bullets that could not be blocked the normal way. When it was hit by an opposing force, they would instantly explode and scatter thick smoke, covering the area with beast luring powder.

    The insectoids lurking around would naturally be attracted by the powder. Even if Qin Feng had destroyed their nest, the Blight Butterflies were too numerous topletely destroy. So now, there were hundreds of people facing off against two hundred more Blight Butterflies.

    While this would not be dangerous for this group, it was at this moment that the Shi Devils revealed their fangs.

    With artillery bombing the area, Quong Po and the others did not have any breathing room.

    ¡°We can¡¯t keep going on like this!¡±

    ¡°Where¡¯s that gunner?¡±

    ¡°If we don¡¯t have any covering fire we¡¯ll get surrounded by these butterflies!¡±

    ¡°Those bastards!¡±

    The group¡¯s people cried out.

    Quong Po assessed the situation and gritted his teeth, ¡°You keep fighting, I¡¯ll kill those causing this!¡±

    Before everyone else could react, Quong Po had already cut a path and rushed over to those responsible for the bombardment.

    He needed to get rid of these gunners quickly!

    Of course, Quong Po was not without his selfishness.

    The opposition having nned this so meticulously, meant that they were the ones that kidnapped his daughter. Naturally, he wanted to rescue his daughter!

    As he rushed out of the ring of butterflies, he was intercepted by someone else.

    This person was the leader of the Shi Devils, Diran!

    ¡°Bastard, where¡¯s my daughter?¡± Quong Po roared.

    ¡°Oh? Your daughter? Killed her!¡±

    ¡°Then you¡¯ll die too!¡± Quong Po yelled, sending out flying knives bursting with internal force with his hands.

    Once these knives left his side, the internal force that controlled them were met with a force that overtook them, causing the knives to move as if they had a mind of their own and drained them

    of their internal force!

    ng ng ng!

    The knives collided with one another and fell onto the grassy ground, disappearing upon impact.

    Quong Po might be strong, but his weakness was too obvious!

 Chapter 600 - Superior Technology

    <h4>Chapter 600: Superior Technology</h4>

    Those kinds of knives were low level items that were used to assassinate weaker enemies, or take down opponents when they were weak.

    Once someone had reached the C-tier, whether it was a gunner or an ability user, their consciousness was a powerful deterrent against remotely controlled objects.

    ¡°Hah, what¡¯s this? Toys?¡± Diran let out a mockingugh.

    Quong Po was so angry that he could feel the blood in his body boil as it rushed to his head. He knew that this was a plot to get to him.

    ¡°If you think you can use your little tricks to take me down, then wouldn¡¯t that mean that you¡¯re underestimating me?¡± Quong Po sneered.

    After that, he did not put away his throwing knives and held them in his hands as if they were daggers.

    Diran¡¯s expression became serious. Although Quong Po was famously known for his throwing knives, and conceble weapons had too many limitations, it did not mean he had no other skills.

    As an ancient martial artist, no matter which martial style Quong Po was famous for, his internal force was unfathomably powerful.

    Whoosh!

    Quong Po¡¯s figure disappeared at an extremely fast speed before moving close to Diran.

    ¡°Not good!¡±

    Diran reacted quickly, runes bursting from all around him and surrounding himself with a thick earthen wall!

    Diran was an earth ability user.

    Quong Po¡¯s knives were wrapped with internal force, striking the wall with enough power to make it sound like explosives were going off outside of it. Very quickly, he had managed to dig a massive hole through the wall.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to kill you!¡±

    Quong Po swung his weapons toward Diran¡¯s neck.

    In the blink of an eye, Diran¡¯s body began to change and the parts of his neck that were struck instantly turned into yellowish sand.

    Quong Po did not look surprised, as if he had expected this and turned his head to look elsewhere.

    Earth ability users had the power to generate sand. If they had enough time to prepare, they could make a body double of themselves.

    What they were best known for was their ability to move the earth.

    They could hide underground and burst out at any time to fatally wound their enemies.

    Quong Po was on full alert. At this moment, a row of missiles shrieked over his head.

    His lips twisted into a snarl. He had no time to care about Diran, there were other enemies he had to deal with. However, Diran would not let Quong Po go so easily.

    ¡°Hehe, I may not be able to defeat you but I can hold you back. When the timees, when your subordinates and all the reinforcements they call are all dead, how would you be able exin all that to Huaxia¡¯s Human Alliance? If you let me kill you, then maybe we can get some value out of this?¡±

    ¡°Go to Hell!¡± Quong Po spat angrily.

    He was helpless in his current situation, he could not get rid of Diran at all. This man was not just a C-tier, he was a C-tier prodigy!

    This was someone who could defy all the odds.

    Of course, Diran did not have enough power to take down Quong Po. All he needed to do was stall him. Once everyone that Quong Po was with had been killed, Quong Po would be a sitting duck.

    Meanwhile, there was someone else who had been quietly approaching the battle.

    It was Qin Feng!

    He was hiding in the shadows, watching the battle between Quong Po and Diran. He knew that Quong Po had been ensnared by his opponent!

    The situation did not seem too serious. Even if Quong Po had been tangled up, he was not in any immediate danger of dying.

    Even if Qin Feng was not here, the Shi Devils would still fail in their attempts, and so long as Quong Po¡¯s alive, his daughter would still be rescued. As for how many aptitude users of the Huaxia Human Alliance had died during this battle, that waspletely unknown.

    That was the guilt that Quong Po carried. After all, it was him who caused this crisis.

    And now, the real threat was in the sky above them.

    Swish swish!

    At least a dozen missiles were flying through the air and the gunners currently being bombarded were unable to turn their immediate attention to what wasing toward them!

    ¡°Huh, that¡¯s pretty advanced tech they¡¯ve got. I wonder how thatpares to the current Fengli artillery!¡±

    Qin Feng pulled out a hand cannon from his space.

    The hand cannon was about one point five meters long and fifty centimeters in diameter. The back of the cannon was equipped with a device that charged it with energy!

    Not only that, the cannon looked like something out of a dream. It was made out of a translucent material which revealed its internal workings and other bits of tech thatprised its insides. However, if one were to look closely, they would see that nothing seemed to make sense. It would have been difficult to reverse engineer this kind of weapon!

    Qin Feng mounted the cannon onto his shoulder.

    nk!

    He twisted the muzzle, causing it to change shape and split off into smaller cannon barrels. Up to six of them.

    Hum!

    Qin Feng held down the charge button and within a second, the muzzle began to fill up with a blue light.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    He pressed the button again and six bolts of blue light shot into the sky.

    It looked like a bunch of energy beams that shifted into a column of light. Without any other energy to propel it forward, it managed to chase after the missiles in the sky!

    Energy in the form of light was extremely unstable. It was difficult to change its trajectory if it was not kept inside some kind of shell or casing. As such, a light beam that could be manipted by the consciousness without extra help was a groundbreaking discovery.

    The beam of light quickly streaked through the sky.

    ¡°What was that?¡±

    In a distance, the gunners were taken aback by the sight of these six beams of light flying through the sky. It was something they had never seen before.

    When they extended their consciousness to touch the beams of light, they were quickly pushed away by the violent force of the consciousness that controlled the beams.

    Under Qin Feng¡¯s control, these beams of light instantly hit the missiles.

    Boom boom boom boom!

    The missiles were shot down!

    The gunner that tried to push back Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness swore out loud, unable to ept what just happened, ¡°Where the hell did thate from? I don¡¯t believe one guy can stop so many of us!¡±

    Qin Feng waste to take action, the Human Alliance members were trying to survive the heavy bombardment and had no way of retaliating. Now that he had made his move, that would have confused the Shi Devils in the midst of chaos.

    Just as the gunner had finished speaking, a terrible thundercloud appeared from the area that was previously their st zone.

    Kroom! Crack!

    Suddenly, a terrifying storm formed in the sky and swept away all iing artillery and zapped those that it could not brush away.

    Dozens of shells were getting intercepted.

    The Huaxia Human Alliance members were naturally attracted by this deafening noise but when they looked up, they only saw clouds of smoke.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Is someone helping us? Who?¡±

    With their consciousness, they quickly identified Qin Feng to be the one who was helping them.

    The guy actually came back!

    At this moment, Jiang Po of the Huaxia Human Alliance looked at Qin Feng with astonishment.

    Even though they were surprised, that did not mean that the Shi Devils would just stop.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    ¡°Kill them all!¡±

    ¡°You still want to resist? I¡¯ll st you to pieces!¡±

    Another round of missiles soared into the sky, but this time their angles were slightly adjusted to fly straight toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Tch. These guys...¡±

    Qin Feng did not use the energy cannon this time. Instead, he used his consciousness like it was arge and locked onto the three iing missiles.

    ¡°Reverse!¡±

    In an instant, the consciousness originally guiding the shells was stopped!

 Chapter 601 - Saving Life

    <h4>Chapter 601: Saving Life</h4>

    The missile changed direction in mid-air and turned back to itsunch site.

    ¡°Sh*t!¡±

    ¡°Take cover!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s toote now. Brace yourself!¡±

    The members of Shi were caught off guard by the abrupt change.

    Some had fled, while others used missiles to stop the ones sent back by Qin Feng. A series of explosions rocked the hill they were stationed at.

    Pew!

    Through the ck smoke, missiles that were not hit fell rapidly toward them. It was toote to try to stop it now.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    The hill was heavily sted.

    Two members of the Shi group were badly injured. The others managed to sustain the attack thanks to their runic equipment.

    Qin Feng did not follow up on his attack because he knew that the enemy still had a trump card in their hands¡ªQuong Po¡¯s daughter.

    ¡°Bai Li, wake Yuan Xiaoguang up. Then go and check on the hostage. If possible, get her out of their hands.¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Bai Li transferred her energy to Yuan Xiaoguang through his neck. After thetter regained consciousness, Bai Li stuffed a cleansing Lotus Seed into his mouth.

    Yuan Xiaoguang swallowed the seed reflexively and poison in his body was immediately cleared.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡± His head was in a lot of pain. When he saw Bai Li, Yuan Xiaoguang was terrified because he clearly remembered that she was already dead.

    But he soon snapped back from his hallucination. He quickly grasped the current situation and got right back into the battle without asking any questions.

    Qin Feng was busy dealing with the Blight Butterfly as well.

    Click!

    Qin Feng pressed on the switch once again and changed the muzzle form. The internal mechanism twirled and transformed the barrel into one with multiple same-size muzzles like a beehive.

    He then pressed on the trigger.

    Ratatat!

    His energy cannon turned into multiple thinsers being shot out from the firearm. Before a Blight Butterfly could respond, the band of blue lights had already sted multiple holes through its body.

    Qin Feng burst into speed and strafed the area with his weapon. The Blight Butterflies could not withstand the shots and fell one after another.

    It was no doubt a weapon built for a massacre.

    Few tens of Blight Butterflies were exterminated by Qin Feng in a heartbeat. His timely help greatly relieved the pressure on the entire team.

    The other gunners were baffled as they had never seen such a cannon before.

    They were now imagining owning one themselves. That way, they could kill multiple beasts effortlessly too.

    ¡°Fire! Kill them quick!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s urgent call brought them back into reality.

    After exterminating almost half of the Blight Butterflies, Qin Feng left the rest to hisrades and sprinted up the hill.

    The spot where the Shi Devils were at earlier had fallen into total chaos. Among the disconcerted troop, Quong Ting, who had her suit torn apart, was visibly trembling in fear.

    Schwaff!

    Bai Li suddenly appeared right beside her. Immediately, spatial runes emerged and surrounded the two of them. They then vanished together in the blink of an eye.

    The gunner who was guarding Quong Ting was stunned.

    ¡°... The bait has been taken! Get her back!¡±

    ¡°F*ck! Who was guarding her earlier? How could you lose sight of her?¡±

    ¡°Stopining and start looking!¡±

    ¡°She is there!¡±

    ¡°How could they run so fast?¡±

    Bai Li did not get too far. She only teleported about five hundred meters away. Bai Li helped Quong Ting to untie the rope and wrapped her in clothes taken out from her dimension.

    Quong Ting was obviously traumatized. She might be a D-tier aptitude user but could barely stay on her feet now.

    ¡°Time to go!¡± Bai Li grabbed Quong Ting¡¯s shoulder and dragged her toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng saw them and sprinted to them at the same time.

    Shi had discovered the escapees and chased after them too.

    Inevitably, they finally came to a head-on encounter.

    Ratatat!

    Qin Feng aimed his cannon at his opponents and bombarded them with rapidsers.

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    Theser hit on the internal force shield of the front-most ancient warrior and was deflected at first. But the ¡°beehives¡± cannon could fire a few tens of energy bullets every second.

    The internal force shield withheld the barrage for another two seconds and was done for. The bluesers pierced through it effortlessly andnded on the ancient warrior¡¯s body.

    ¡°Eh?!¡± The ancient warriors sensed the danger and intended to retreat.

    ¡®It¡¯s toote for you to run now!¡¯ Qin Feng raised his right hand and elicited his internal force.

    Asteroid Assimtion¡ªPull!

    The ancient warrior had turned to run but was being hauled back uncontrobly. He was pulled to Qin Feng and his internal force gushed out as if the floodgate guarding his dantian was opened by force.

    ¡°My internal force! No!!!¡±

    It had been sucked clear by Qin Feng.

    ¡°C2-tier?¡± Qin Feng was clearly unsatisfied. A C2 ancient warrior had only two energy pools.

    It was like pouring a drop in the bucket.

    Push!

    Qin Feng exerted his force and pushed the ancient warrior away. The force was too great and directly shattered the poor man¡¯s stomach.

    Poof!

    The guy shrieked in pain and fell onto the grasnd.

    No one paid attention to him. Everyone else was busy lunging at Qin Feng.

    Two ability users struck first.

    Wood Tangle!

    Two thick vines sprouted up from the ground trying to wrap around Qin Feng.

    Iron Axe!

    The other ability user was a metal-type. A giant and heavy-looking ax had appeared right on top of Qin Feng.

    He would be badly injured if the ax were tond right on him while the vines rendered him immobile.

    ¡°Pfft! Child¡¯s y!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered and triggered his ability. Firebusted to life around him and instantly burned the vines down to dust.

    As for the ax, it would never catch Qin Feng no matter how fast it came crashing down.

    Blitz!

    sters of other gunners fired simultaneously at where Qin Feng was at.

    Qin Feng evaded dexterously and brought up his internal force shield.

    Ratatat!

    The ster in his hand fired back rapidly.

    Those from Shi were in great despair.

    ¡°Who is this guy? Is he a gunner, or an aptitude user?¡±

    ¡°He even has internal force shield! Is he also an ancient warrior?¡±

    ¡°Monster!¡±

    They did not have the slightest idea who they were up against. Such a battle was just a piece of cake to Qin Feng.

    This was nothingpared to the fiercepetition between the prodigies, as well as his near-death experience in The Perished Land.

    ¡®It¡¯s time to end this.¡±

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    All the ancient warriors within sight had their energy extracted by Qin Feng.

    Instantly, more than twenty ancient warriors were handicapped by Qin Feng¡¯s secret ability and unable to muster any resistance.

    Qin Feng paced forward as the lifeless bodies of the Shi group members dropped behind him.

    He was no less than a Grim Reaper.

 Chapter 602 - The Internal Force of a B-tier

    <h4>Chapter 602: The Internal Force of a B-tier</h4>

    ¡°Run, quickly!¡± The remaining members shouted in panic.

    It was easy to kill them but Qin Feng decided to spare their lives.

    ¡°Bai Li, can you keep watch for me?¡± Qin Feng yelled.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will keep you safe!¡± Bai Li immediately deserted Quong Ting and went to Qin Feng¡¯s side.

    ¡°Thanks!¡± Qin Feng replied and sat down on the ground. He felt safe with Bai Li guarding him.

    With his eyes closed, Qin Feng looked into himself and examined his dantian. Ample energy pools could be seen expanding steadily but there was a spot that appeared to be in dissonance. Those came from the energy Qin Feng had just absorbed from the ancient warriors of the Shi Devils.

    ¡°Ability, absorb.¡±

    The internal force began to orbit and strengthen his meridian. Reconcentrated internal strength flowed through his consciousness realm and was then recycled back into his dantian, forming one pool after another.

    In the blink of an eye, ten more pools had appeared in there.

    Qin Feng had managed to amass a total of 997 pools of internal force now. The force was still being pumped into the dantian and yet another two pools had materialized. His dantian was bloated with force.

    ¡®Merge!¡¯

    Qin Feng activated Asteroid Assimtion, which formed a whirlpool at the center of his dantian.

    The energy ponds were pulled in by it and merged with each other.

    Ten ponds would be enough to form ake-size force reservoir. Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength evolved in no time.

    The primaryke formed effortlessly, which meant that Qin Feng had officially stepped into the B-tier realm.

    After the firstke had formed, the remaining ponds merged quickly too. But Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength was simply too vast. It would take some time to convert all of them.

    At the moment, most of the Blight Butterflies had been taken down by the aptitude users. They were all now heading Quong Po¡¯s way.

    A grimace appeared on Diran¡¯s face. Hisrades had already told him about the current development through consciousness transmission.

    This mission was a total failure. They had suffered a great loss.

    ¡°Damn it!¡± Diran was livid. Ever since he became a top-tier prodigy and spent the past ten years climbing through the ranks, Diran had never experienced such a fiasco. This greatly irked him.

    ¡°I have underestimated you!¡± Diran said sarcastically. He evaded Quong Po¡¯s attack and sank rapidly.

    He was trying to flee by blending into the ground.

    ¡°Mr. Quong, you wouldn¡¯t be so lucky next time. We will meet again.¡±

    Though he might not get another chance after today, Diran still wanted to provoke Quong Po onest time.

    Quong Po was indeed enraged. Diran was only a D5-tier aptitude user yet Quong Po was always a step slower in their battle.

    Diran¡¯s final insult only added salt to his wound.

    However, seeing that others had begun to gather behind him, Quong Po could only keep quiet to preserve his pride. He watched on helplessly as Diran disappeared into the ground.

    ¡°Master Quong, are you alright?¡±

    Everyone was looking at him. Though he was in a bad spot, Quong Po was barely hurt. He waved his hand and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Any casualties on our side?¡±

    A water-type ability user stepped forward and said solemnly, ¡°We lost three aptitude users. Some of us are hurt but we are good otherwise.¡±

    Quong Po, though a little upset, was relieved that the loss was rather minimal.

    ¡°It¡¯s my fault for being careless. For the deceased, I will take care of their funerals and widows. Others will get their respective reward as promised too.¡±

    ¡°Master Quong, we knew the risk when we epted the mission. Don¡¯t be too hard on yourself. You should go and look for Miss Quong. She is in safe hands now!¡± Jiang Po stepped forward and said courteously as if he was the one who had saved Quong Ting.

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Quong Po paced toward Qin Feng¡¯s direction anxiously. Quong Ting had regained herself by now. She was looking curiously at Bai Li, then at Qin Feng who was meditating inside the bushes.

    ¡°Ting!¡±

    ¡°Dad!¡± Quong Ting¡¯s eyes reddened and she dashed right into her father¡¯s arm.

    Quong Po took a closer look at her. Quong Ting seemed fine except she was now covered in arge coat that clearly did not belong to her. He did not say anything and looked at her daughter sympathetically.

    Quong Po then turned to the other two persons nearby.

    Bai Li was currently checking the spatial equipment left behind by the dead Shi members. There were perhaps some valuables left inside.

    She immediately sensed Quong Po¡¯s sight.

    ¡°I owe you two a big thanks!¡± Quong Po gazed at Bai Li and was puzzled to find that she was only a C-tier. After all, he had witnessed first-hand how prominent this youngdy was on the battlefield.

    But then he thought about Diran and figured perhaps this beautifuldy was just another youngster with otherworldly talent.

    ¡°You are wee. We are just doing our part. This is a mission, after all,¡± Bai Li answered calmly.

    ¡°Good. You will get the pay you deserve for saving my daughter.¡± He obviously intended to reward them more than he had previously promised. However, Bai Li did not really care about it and nodded inattentively.

    Quong Po then turned to Qin Feng.

    ¡°This young man...¡± Quong Po could sense the fluctuating energy inside Qin Feng and he was stunned. The young man who was only a C-tier ability user not long ago had now owned the aura equivalent to a B-tier! How was that possible?

    Nheless, the fluctuation appeared only for a brief instant and disappeared quickly. Quong Po was puzzled and wondered whether he had sensed it wrongly.

    Obviously, it was Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability that had automatically concealed his true aura.

    ¡°My hubby is breaking through into the next stage. You all can leave first. We can get out of here by ourselvester.¡± Bai Li said as she kept thinking about the Blight Butterfly cores inside their nest.

    She was never wasteful no matter how tiny the power source was. There was still A-tier to achieve after B-tier. If they could not find a better power core then, these butterfly cores would do just fine.

    ¡°Dad, we should wait for them since they are my savior,¡± Quong Ting pleaded. She was very grateful to the two who had freed her from the viins¡¯ hands.

    ¡°Yes, Master Quong. We should leave together like how we hade together.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s rude to leave them behind after all that they had done for us.¡±

    Many echoed the decision to stay and wait. On a closer look, most who had spoken up were gunners.

    They were all enthralled by the ster used by Qin Feng to attack the Shi Devils. They wished to ask Qin Feng where to get it when Qin Feng had woken up.

    Gunners usually designed their own weapons even after they had reached C-tier. Though the chance of Qin Feng selling his ster was slim, they still wanted to give it a shot.

    After all, Qin Feng was concurrently a decent ability user as well as an ancient warrior. He should give other gunners a chance.

    While everyone waited anxiously, Qin Feng remained unmoved and finally opened his eyes half an hourter.

    The ponds inside his dantian had been reced by a denserke. The size of theke was ny timesrger than that of a normal B-tier ability user.

    Thiske gave Qin Feng the modal to gain newer heights.

 Chapter 603 - Quong Poâ€™s Astonishment

    <h4>Chapter 603</h4>

    <h4>: Quong Po¡¯s Astonishment</h4>

    ¡°Sorry for the wait!¡± Qin Feng had retained part of his consciousness to observe the outside world during his meditation as a precaution. Thus, he was aware of their conversations.

    People around him quickly said, ¡°It¡¯s not that long. d to see that you are finally done.¡±

    ¡°Congrats on your promotion!¡±

    ¡°You are exceptional for your age!¡±

    Everyone was trying to befriend Qin Feng. Qin Feng responded to each of them politely and handled it better than Bai Li¡¯s monotone response.

    Unlike the others, Quong Po remained perplexed. For a moment, he sensed that Qin Feng had entered B-tier. However, he now appeared as a C5-tier¡ªonly one sub tier higher than he was previously.

    This was naturally due to Qin Feng¡¯s dark-type ability, which could mask his true strength.

    For a C-tier ability user, it took at least one year to up one sub-tier. Some even spent ten years taking the next step. This greatly depended on talent, opportunity, and resources.

    Gunners on the spot did not n to let Qin Feng go easily. After the formal greetings, they went straight to the point and inquired about his weapon.

    ¡°If you all are really interested, you may contact my organization and ce your order. I am not in charge of this personally but I do have a channel to have them delivered to me immediately.¡±

    The channel Qin Feng had mentioned was obviously the Battlegod Tomb. This showed how important it was to have a privately owned secret dimension.

    Xue Xingfu could stock up the goods there directly from Fengli while Qin Feng could easily retrieve it wherever he was at.

    ¡°Mr. Qin already owns an organization?¡±

    ¡°You are the president of that Fengli Organization?¡±

    ¡°Fengli is well-reputed and has gained a lot of fame recently.¡±

    ¡°Well, some of the sters we offer may not be as powerful as the one in my hand,¡± Qin Feng exined.

    ¡°Hahaha! Understandable!¡±

    ¡°Do you take custom-orders? I am willing to sign a confidentiality agreement and a peace treaty with your organization.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. We are also willing to pay a premium price for limited stocks. We will never turn on Fengli after getting the weapon. You have my word!¡±

    The ster in Qin Feng¡¯s hand was one of the most powerful ones Fengli had produced. These were reserved only for Fengli¡¯s members. The ones on sale were all inferior products.

    This, of course, was to protect the organization. What if someone bought the powerful weapon and used it against them?

    More so, Qin Feng had ordered for the weapon to be downgraded substantially. A better version would then be released sequentially,ter on, amon practice used by businessmen.

    After all, they were the only ones dominating the technology now.

    Qin Feng had no intention to release his best weapons into the market. Regardless, the ones sold by Fengli would still be a lot better than those in their hands.

    ¡°Guys, we are still notpletely out of danger. I will head out first and do the scouting. Let¡¯s talk some other time.¡± He indirectly rejected their request.

    That was a perfect excuse. They still had a long way to travel back to the city. This was not the time to talk about business.

    They moved speedily as there were multiple injuredbatants in the troop. Despite this, it still took them several hours and an insectoid swarm clearing before they reached Dusan Central City.

    The aptitude users¡¯ attention had now switched from Qin Feng onto Quong Po. Thetter worked on hismunicator toplete the mission and confirmed the rewards.

    Everyone was satisfied with their rewards and left one after another. Only Yuan Xiaoguang, Qin Feng, and Bai Li were held back by Quong Po.

    ¡°I owe you three the biggest this time. Here¡¯s a small gesture of gratitude from me.¡±

    Quong Po took out two types of herbs and passed them to Qin Feng and Yuan Xiaoguang.

    The one given to Yuan Xiaoguang was a special nt that could enhance wood-type runes, while the ones handed to Qin Feng and Bai Li were two fruits that helped strengthen the physique. These items were equivalent to a C-tier beast king material.

    ¡°You want to eat this?¡± Qin Feng offered the fruit to Bai Li. Qin Feng did not need it since he could use his absorption ability directly on the beast to boost himself. Other than the cleansing Lotus Seed, most herbs had no use to Qin Feng.

    Bai Li sniffed it and shook her head in disinterest.

    Qin Feng thus put the two fruits into his spatial equipment. He then spoke freely seeing that people around them had disbanded, ¡°Master Quong, I believe your power was being suppressed by consciousness when you fought the guy from the Dark Coalition earlier. I might have a thing to help you ovee that in my possession.¡±

    Quong Po, who was about to leave, was stunned. ¡°What would that be?¡±

    Qin Feng took out the Magical Tesseract and briefly exined its function. He then emphasized, ¡°I am not going to borate how powerful an item would be after being processed by this tesseract. But rest assured, the item made by it would only match the consciousness of a single individual. On one hand, this is not good for business since I am unable to mass-produce weapons through it. On the other hand, it helps me greatly by prohibiting my enemy to gain control over my weapon.¡±

    For instance, as powerful as the Verdant Emperor Saber was in Qin Feng¡¯s hand, it was no different from a scrap iron if other people held it.

    Quong Po was intrigued. ¡°Is it as miraculous as you im it to be?¡±

    Quong Po¡¯s flying knife could easily be controlled by other ability users. Even some gunners could counter him easily.

    If he had this Magical Tesseract, did it mean that he could unleash his internal strength as he wished? This would ovee his only shoring.

    ¡°Give it a try and you will know.¡±

    Qin Feng handed the tesseract to Quong Po and said, ¡°So happen you have your flying knives with you now. Just ce the knife and some materials in it, then it will start forging.¡±

    ¡°That simple?¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. Quong Po calmed his excitement and took out a knife. He added another material and the Magical Tesseract whirred into action to modify the knife.

    When the flying knife re-emerged, it had lost its previous silver radiance and turned into a charred knife.

    Quong Ting could not help butment, ¡°What has your tesseract done to my dad¡¯s knife? This is made from beast king material but the radiance has disappeared.¡±

    The knife was indeed made of beast king parts. However, it was from a C-tier beast king and did not really cost that much.

    Quong Po had spent his entire life working on the flying knife technique. But recently he felt ancient art like such would soon be eliminated by the fast-progressing technology. He could do nothing about it.

    He no longer felt the same after today.

    ¡°Don¡¯t simply chime in if you know nothing about it,¡± Quong Po rebuked Quong Ting for herck of manners. He rarely disciplined her in public, not even after today¡¯s incident. But the tesseract was extremely important to him. Neither he nor his daughter could afford to offend Qin Feng at this point.

 Chapter 604 - Empty the Vault

    <h4>Chapter 604: Empty the Vault</h4>

    Quong Ting teared up after being scolded by her father. She felt aggrieved after all that had happened to her.

    Quong Po realized he had been too harsh and quickly exined in a softer tone, ¡°The color of the runic equipmentes from the chemical used to dissolve the beast material. In contrast, the tesseract would break down the material directly without any additives. This is truly an advanced technology that we have not seen before. I have to admit that this is very useful to a master of concealed weapons like me.¡±

    Quong Ting still felt dejected after listening to her father¡¯s exnation but decided to swallow her emotions.

    Quong Po then turned back to Qin Feng and said, ¡°Qin Feng, this tesseract is very important to me. Are you willing to sell it to me?¡±

    Qin Feng frowned and replied, ¡°This is equally vital to me too, Master Quong.¡±

    Quong Po was baffled. From his perspective, Qin Feng did not really need the tesseract. But that was only because he did not know how fast Qin Feng had and would evolve.

    To keep up with his ever-growing strength, Qin Feng needed the tesseract to further hone his Verdant Emperor Saber as well as other equipment. Though at the moment he had yet to fully utilize the tesseract, it was not an item he would sell off easily.

    ¡°Master Quong, the reason I am showing this is not that I want to offer it to you. I am just letting you know that such a thing exists and would probably suit your needs,¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°My apologies. You would be of great help if you are willing to help me make customized knives. Please, this is very important to me. Maybe we cane to an agreement? What¡¯s your price?¡±

    Since Qin Feng did not wish to sell it, Quong Po could only propose a trade for the products.

    But Quong Po did not know what the suitable price to offer was. This market waspletely in Qin Feng¡¯s grasp.

    Qin Feng thought about it and said, ¡°I don¡¯t wish to take advantage of you but if I charge you too little, then you might feel like you are owing me a favor. Let¡¯s settle on the market price¡ª20% of the price of the materials used.¡±

    This price had been fixed for a long time. A G-tier beast king material in Wanzhong auction would cost 5 million while turning it into a weapon would cost another 1 million.

    It now depended on what grade of weapon Quong Po wanted to make.

    Quong Poughed and said, ¡°That¡¯s fair. I think you have already been too generous.¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°Mr. Quong, you better give it careful thought. These new knives are going to be your weapon for the rest of your life, and theye without any apparent weaknesses. It would be a waste if you go back to C-tier materials.¡±

    Quong Po realized he had an important decision to make.

    Indeed, it would be best to use the finest materials if his knives would have no risk of being taken away by his enemy. After reaching B7-tier, Quong Po¡¯s vision had widened a lot too.

    Most aptitude users wished to use equipment made from materials under the same tier. However, it was easier said than done. This was because it was usually difficult for an aptitude user to defeat a beast king from the same tier.

    ¡°You are right.¡± Quong Po had clearly made up his mind. He then said, ¡°It¡¯s already quitete. Allow me to invite you two to have dinner with me. As for the tesseract, we will get to it tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Sure!¡±

    ***

    After dinner, Qin Feng and Bai Li returned to the hotel.

    Qin Feng took out the fruit given by Quong Po. Though Bai Li refused to take it, he insisted and pushed the fruit into her mouth. He took the other one and realized it tasted bitter and was hard to swallow.

    ¡°Little cunning fox. You knew the fruit would taste terrible. That¡¯s why you refused to take it!¡± Qin Feng pouted and then drank a mouthful of water.

    ¡°Yucky. But Quong Po is really generous. This fruit probably cost a lot in the human market.¡± Bai Li could now evaluate things and knew that this fruit was a rare find.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Quong Po had been a B-tier for more than thirty years. A concealed weapon is what made him famous but that is also his downfall. Since his weapon could be controlled by others¡¯ consciousness, he has been avoiding conflict with people and focused on hunting beasts instead.¡±

    You lose some, gain some. Though he could not absorb the beast¡¯s energy and evolve like Qin Feng, Quong Po still managed to climb through the ranks steadily and reached the respectable B7-tier after surviving one after another deadly fight with the beast.

    In fact, a beast would more or less leak out some energy after being killed. Even without absorption, being constantly exposed to the aura of a powerful beast would probably still help to strengthen one¡¯s power. That could exin why Quong Po could attain such a high tier by hunting beasts alone.

    ¡°I see. Sometimes I am confused. Why do humans like to fight against their own kin? It¡¯s not that you people have to fight over territory like beasts...¡± Bai Li asked.

    Beasts liked to fight for territory but humans were social beings. It was indeed true that they did not need to fight to the death as some species did.

    Qin Feng had no answer to Bai Li¡¯s question. But he still needed to exin the reality to Bai Li clearly.

    ¡°I believe it all boils down to self-interest. Quong Po might have a lot of wealth by avoiding conflict with people. But he would have won much more if he had chosen topete with others. Sometimes these things just develop naturally.¡±

    Qin Fengmented, ¡°Take Fengli as an example. I don¡¯t need to do anything now and could earn a lot by selling weapons alone. This will turn into a modal for me to buy other stuff to further improve myself. Most importantly, I could have all this without risking anything. The problem is, others would want what I have and live my life. That¡¯s why the president from the Red Sun Corps wanted to kill me so badly.¡±

    Bai Li nodded and seemed to have understood something.

    ¡°I see. You need to buy food for me, too! We have a lot of money now. I can also earn by myself now.¡±

    Qin Fengughed, ¡°That¡¯s why we are powerful.¡±

    While talking happily with Bai Li, Qin Feng had no idea Quong Po was currently emptying his vault because of his suggestion.

    Quong Po was rich but not one of the wealthiest. A few trillions of capital wasmon for a B-tier aptitude user. Nheless, it still took several years of saving and careful financial nning.

    Guang Wei immediately went bankrupt afterpensating 5 trillion to Qin Feng.

    The material Quong Po was buying was unimaginably expensive too.

    It was a B-tier beast emperor material.

    Dusan Central City was a dangerous frontline settlement. Thus, plenty of valuable resources could be found in the market. Just recently, an A-tier had killed a B-tier beast emperor¡ªan insectoid queen.

    It was a gigantic monster with an imprable shell.

    The material had since been put on sale but due to its giant size and exorbitant price, it was still hanging at Wanzhong¡¯s warehouse waiting for its buyer.

    Quong Po did not hesitate and spent 6 trillion on the shell and some of the finest power cores.

    Not only that but he also needed to pay Qin Feng 1.2 trillion the next day. Quong Po instantly became a pauper after spending sovishly on his future.

 Chapter 605 - Debt Cleared

    <h4>Chapter 605: Debt Cleared</h4>

    Quong Po had everything ready and waited for Qin Feng.

    Quong Ting was well aware that her rtionship with her dad was not considered great. She was already twenty three years old. The reason she could reach D1-tier was owed entirely to the resources supplied by her dad. However, Quong Ting was far from being a prodigy. She was just another ordinary D-tier.

    To qualify as a prodigy, not only did one need to reach D-tier before twenty years old, but he or she also had to be the most elite among their age group.

    Quong Ting naturally was not one of those elites.

    To keep Quong Ting safe, Quong Po had held her daughter close to him and brought her everywhere he went. She was always being protected and treated like a little princess, even though the ces Quong Po went to were usually very dangerous.

    ¡°Dad, why did you spend so much on the materials? Because of the flying knives? Who knows whether they are going to be good? The price is too high!¡±

    Quong Ting knew his father was loaded and would still have enough to support her. She just could not understand why her father was willing to spend all the savings on a few knives.

    ¡°You wouldn¡¯t understand even if I exined it to you. If this works out, I will be two or three times stronger than I am now!¡± Quong Po said excitedly.

    Quong Ting could not care less. All she cared about was their family fortune.

    ¡°So what if you be more powerful? All you do is kill beasts anyway. Your old knives are good enough,¡± Quong Ting ranted sourly, ¡°If you have the money, why don¡¯t you establish an organization instead?¡±

    Quong Ting¡¯s peers were mostly descendants of influential elects. They were usually pampered and rarely exposed to the wild as Quong Ting was. Her father was probably the only B7-tier Quong Ting knew that still needed to fight at the front line.

    ¡°It¡¯s easy for you to say,¡± Quong Po reprimanded.

    Quong Ting rebutted rebelliously, ¡°Didn¡¯t Qin Feng also create his own organization? He did it when he is just a C-tier!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s him being capable!¡±

    ¡°Capable? Alright, then I want him to be my bodyguard. Dad, use the money to hire him instead.¡±

    Quong Ting finally revealed her true thought. Though she was saved by Bai Li, she did not like her and was even envious of her. In contrast, she found Qin Feng very attractive.

    But to Quong Po¡¯s ears, Quong Ting was just being unreasonable.

    ¡°Do you know what you are talking about? Qin Feng is your savior and you want to treat him like a subordinate? And did you say hire? Do you really believe I can still afford him? I barely have any assets left!¡±

    ¡°Then don¡¯t buy the knives. Isn¡¯t your daughter¡¯s life more precious than your weapon?¡±

    ¡°What are you trying to imply? Have I not hired enough guards to protect you? How do you repay me? You disobeyed my order and ditched your bodyguards. Do you have any idea what might have happened to you if not because of Qin Feng? To rescue you from the Shi Devils, I gathered a hundred men to go to the dangerous frontline. Those merits I rewarded them are my hard-fought assets too. How much more money do I need to spend on you before you can start thinking for me and others instead?¡±

    Quong Ting had never tried to be considerate to others.

    She was old enough but had been spoiled by Quong Po since young. She had seen the brutality and darkness of society before but her father would usually deal with these ugly sides quickly.

    Over time, Quong Ting could no longer recognize the danger of the real world and became more and more fearless. She felt that every problem could be solved as long as her father was still around.

    Even after she was abducted by Shi, Quong Ting believed that her father would definitelye to her rescue.

    Somehow, she was right again.

    However, she had no idea about her miserable fate if Qin Feng did not intervene this time. Quong Po would still be able to save her but she would have a very different future.

    They were busy quarreling and did not notice the arrival of Qin Feng.

    ¡®All I wanted is to help Huaxia from losing a heroic frontline fighter. Unexpectedly, my action seemed to have changed the course of his future. I wonder how this would pan out eventually.¡¯ Qin Feng thought to himself.

    Quong Po became famous because of his Thousand Flying Knives. It would note true now that the Magical Tesseract was in Qin Feng¡¯s hand. That was why Qin Feng had decided to get involved, but things had changed beyond Qin Feng¡¯s control.

    ¡®Sooner orter, Quong Ting would stir trouble so huge that her father would not be able to handle. If not for Quong Po, she would already be dead by now. But I have nothing to do with this. I can¡¯t take care of them all the time. Helping him make a thousand knives would clear my debt on iming the tesseract before him. I no longer owe him after today.¡¯ Qin Feng announced his presence by releasing his internal force.

    Quong Po immediately sensed it and looked in his direction. He stood up and walked up to wee Qin Feng.

    ¡°I have all the materials prepared.¡±

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s start then!¡±

    Qin Feng passed the tesseract to Quong Po. Thetter immediately transferred the money to Qin Feng before he started using it.

    After that, Quong Po spent about an hour to construct one thousand B-tier beast emperor grade flying knives.

    ¡°Release!¡± Under his consciousness control, one thousand flying knives flew out from the tesseract and surrounded Quong Po. Soon, the entire room was filled with dark knives. Though they were without the usual gold radiance like on other beast emperor equipment, the knives still emanated a daunting aura.

    ¡°This energy... Fantastic!¡± Quong Pomented. He could not wait to fight an enemy now, be it human or beast.¡±

    ¡°Congrattions, Mister Quong!¡±

    ¡°This is all thanks to you!¡± Quong Po expressed his gratitude.

    They were both pleased with the oue of the trade.

    Qin Feng did not stop by for long and he went to the certification hall after that.

    Dusan frontline was a busy ce. The number of teams gathered here was plenty.

    Today, there was another party gearing to depart. The team was led by Xu Qing.

    Xu Qing examined his team list. There were at least thirty C-tiers. However, he still thought that they were heavily underwhelmed in this deadly Dusan warzone.

    Xu Qing saw Qin Feng as soon as thetter stepped into the hall.

    ¡°Qin Feng, here for a mission?¡± Xu Qing was enthused.

    ¡°General Xu!¡± Qin Feng greeted him and said, ¡°Ipleted a mission yesterday. I am here to collect the rewards.¡±

    Qin Feng came for the merits after they had annihted the Butterfly Emperor and insectoid nest.

    ¡°Why not join our mission? It¡¯s safer to move together.¡±

    ¡°Where are you nning to go?¡±

    ¡°The seventh region, Darkgold Giant Cockroach.¡±

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows and shook his head. ¡°I am thinking of the fifth region. I heard recently that hunting beehives are more rewarding.¡±

    Qin Feng told Xu Qing his n straightforwardly. He could not join them since their aims were different.

    But in others¡¯ eyes, Qin Feng was being arrogant for rejecting Xu Qing¡¯s invitation.

    A lot of C-tiers that followed Xu Qing had seen Qin Feng before. Their faces changed when they heard Qin Feng decline Xu Qing and say that he wanted to go to the fifth region instead.

    ¡°Beehives are more dangerous than the seventh region. Do you think you are an A-tier?¡± One of them mocked Qin Feng.

 Chapter 606 - Battle Achievement Vetting

    <h4>Chapter 606: Battle Achievement Vetting</h4>

    Although that person was speaking softly, it was still audible to those who were around. They were waiting to depart along with Xu Qing, and all of them turned around and stared in the same direction!

    ¡°Who is he? How dare he reject the offer from General Xu Qing?¡±

    ¡°Is he afraid of going to the seventh region? That is a made-up excuse for himself, such a bad excuse!¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t he Qin Feng? Who is he actually, why would Xu Qing know him?!¡±

    Some of them had joined the battle together with Qin Feng the day before, they would certainly know Qin Feng. However, none of them had been following the news of the Hero ss, and neither were they from the northern region, therefore, they would definitely be unaware of Qin Feng¡¯s capability.

    As soon as the unfavoured rejection had been raised, Qin Feng was immediately targeted with doubts.

    Qin Feng nced at these people, and was reminded of the time when he was searching for the gaea crystals, and those who followed Xu Qing.

    Ambitious, but dissatisfied with other aptitude users, yetcked capabilities.

    Those were indeed annoying characteristics.

    Xu Qing immediately red warningly at that person and admonished, ¡°What are you talking about? Are you neglecting all of mymands and turning a deaf ear? Apologize to Governor Qin immediately!¡±

    Qin Feng was holding a position within the Human Alliance, certainly, he would be seen differently by the others.

    Obviously, that person would not conform and ept the beratement, that person remained silent, and Qin Feng was not bothered either.

    ¡°General Xu, this is nothing serious!¡± Qin Feng answered calmly, not showing whether or not he was angered. ¡°I¡¯m heading over for my mission submission, talk to you some other time!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, alright!¡±

    Xu Qing could only allow Qin Feng to excuse himself.

    Qin Feng did not care about the stares from the others and went ahead to the front desk of the aptitude user lobby.

    ¡°Battle scores vetting!¡±

    ¡°Alright, you may now upload the recordings for vetting!¡±

    Qin Feng uploaded the recordings while the staff who was handling the vetting process did not pay much attention, the vetting process was handled entirely by the system. Soon, the vetting results were generated!

    ¡°Kills on C-tier Insectoid Blight Butterflies: Four thousand three hundred and twenty-three¡±

    ¡°Kills on C1-tier Blight Butterfly Elite Soldiers: Five hundred and twenty-three¡±

    ¡°Kills on C2-tier Blight Butterfly Generals: One hundred and twenty-eight¡±

    ¡°Kills on C3-tier Blight Butterfly Kings: Three¡±

    ¡°Demolishing C-tier Blight Butterfly¡¯s Lair: One¡±

    ¡°Total battle scores rewarded, fifty two thousand three hundred and fifty three, mary rewards: six trillion and twenty-one billion¡±

    The results were insanely terrifying.

    ¡°Mister, could you please hold for a while, allow me to perform the vetting again!¡±

    The staff answered with a trembling voice as she continued to manually perform the vetting process again, however, she was amazed by the results from the screens again.

    Actually, there was a main reason that had triggered her disbelief, as there was no news about any teams that were going to hunt down the Blight Butterflies, how could it end up with their being destroyed today?

    Were the Blight Butterflies not from the thirteenth region the most threatening ones? If the Blight Butterfly¡¯sir were to be destroyed, the district would be safe for at least a year, and it was definitely great news.

    Meanwhile, the vetting staff was giving Qin Feng her scorching nces.

    ¡°Is there anything wrong?¡± Qin Feng frowned and urged the vetting staff that had been staring on the recordings for ten minutes.

    ¡°Ah, nothing, nothing, Mister, I will publish your rewards now!¡± The vetting staff answered in a hurry while publishing Qin Feng¡¯s reward. Besides, during the number verification of Qin Feng¡¯smunicator, she had even added Qin Feng¡¯s number to her ownmunicator.

    She gave Qin Feng a lustful stare as she unintentionally opened her thick andpact winter jacket, she was only wearing a spaghetti top, revealing the deep cleavage on her chest.

    She smiled and answered, ¡°This is mymunicator, you are the hero of our Central City, and you are entitled for some other special treats, after your battle, you may call me, anytime...¡±

    Before the woman could finish her sentence, Qin Feng was pushed away by another person.

    Bai Li stood at the entrance of the vetting station with an icy-cold expression, staring at the chest of the vetting staff as her lips twitched. ¡°You are still at the level of a child, do you really think those would work in seducing others, have you ever seen the real deal?¡±

    Bai Li was about to unbutton her outer jacket.

    Qin Feng immediately held onto Bai Li¡¯s hand and stopped her. ¡°Stop it!¡±

    Bai Li let out a disgusted snort and lowered her hand, and she requested, ¡°Battle score vetting!¡±

    The vetting staff was interrupted by Bai Li, however, looking at the C-tier badge on Bai Li¡¯s chest, there was nothing she could say. She gave Bai Li a dissatisfied re like Bai Li was bullying the smaller ones.

    Indeed, it was the ¡°big¡± bullying the ¡°small¡±!

    ¡°Please submit your recordings.¡±

    Bai Li submitted her recordings.

    Soon, the vetting results appeared. Although it was not as impressive as Qin Feng¡¯s, one of the aplishments had even left the vetting staff speechless.

    ¡°Kills on C5-tier Blight Butterfly Emperor: 1¡±

    The vetting staff manually checked on it again and saw the recordings where Bai Li had single-handedly killed the Blight Butterfly Emperor.

    Again, the vetting staff was stunned for a minute.

    ¡°Are you done?¡± Bai Li asked.

    The vetting staff came to and immediately nodded.

    ¡°You have obtained battle scores of fifty thousand two hundred and thirteen, and it has been transferred to your personal terminal!¡±

    Bai Li mocked, ¡°What about my special heroic treat? Why did you skip that!¡±

    Qin Fengughed and continued, ¡°That¡¯s enough, you jealous little one!¡±

    Bai Li rolled her eyes and answered, ¡°Alright, I am just kidding!¡±

    The vetting staff was in an extremely awkward situation, but she was not done with her job yet, she immediately continued, ¡°Annihtion of insectoid wave and broodmother are required to be published, may I have both of your permissions to publish the recordings?¡±

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°No.¡±

    ¡°Alright, what about the names?¡±

    Bai Li took the lead and answered, ¡°Publish!¡±

    Qin Feng did not say otherwise. Meanwhile, as Xu Qing had managed to gather hundreds of volunteers who were willing to join him, the lobby was broadcasted with an announcement, and the map of the entire area that was aligned on the screens had changed to a different color.

    ¡°Ding dong! Battlefield updates from the thirteenth region!¡±

    A huge screen was disying the areas of the entire basin, including all thirteen regions and the borders, there were six colours in total that were indicating different risk levels, there were ck, purple, red, orange, yellow, and green!

    The ck region was the central region of Dusan, while the thirteenth region wasbelled as purple for its associated high risk, and the surroundings were all in red.

    However, the colorbel flickered and turned into an orangebel.

    It indicated minimal level of risk and was explorable by ordinary C-tiers.

    Everyone in the lobby was shocked and amazed.

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Ay? Wasn¡¯t a Blight Butterfly¡¯sir there, how could it have disappeared?!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s look at thetest announcements!¡±

    Two announcements appeared on the huge screen and rolled down along with its subtitles.

    ¡°C-tier insectoidir sessfully sieged: Sieger: C-tier aptitude user¡ªQin Feng¡±

    ¡°C5 beast emperor tier broodmother Blight Butterfly Emperor killed, killer: C-tier aptitude user¡ªBai Li!¡±

    All of a sudden, the lobby was filled with an unusual and spooky atmosphere. Other than those who were terrified and shocked as they looked toward Qin Feng, there were also others that felt sorry as they looked at the C-tier aptitude user that was following Xu Qing earlier.

    Meanwhile, there was another person in the lobby that was struck by a sudden moment of realization.

    That person was actually Yuan Xiaoguang!

 Chapter 607 - Hiring Yuan Xiaoguang

    <h4>Chapter 607: Hiring Yuan Xiaoguang</h4>

    Yuan Xiaoguang was with Qin Feng and Bai Li when they scouted for the internal situation of the Blight Butterflies, however, the beast lure ced by the Shi Devils had attracted the besiege of countless number of ultra beasts, he was then poisoned and hallucinated.

    As he was knocked down by Qin Feng, he would certainly not know what had happened. He was only awakenedter and found out that the mission had already been aplished, and he did not have a good sleep fromst night.

    He was genuinely unaware of how he had managed to escape from such a dire situation.

    Yuan Xiaoguang finally realized that it was Qin Feng and Bai Li who had killed the Butterfly Emperor and annihted the insectoids¡¯ir.

    ¡°Wait a minute, what is happening? Only the both of them, and I was out cold, how could they take down the insectoid emperor and itsir? Am I still affected by poison? Are these still hallucinations?¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang could not hold back on his intensifying doubts. However, he immediately frowned and wondered, ¡°No, if I were hallucinating, shouldn¡¯t I be the most powerful one? It must be me who had taken down the insectoid emperor and itsir, therefore, all of these are real?¡±

    It was certainly real, Yuan Xiaoguang¡¯s conscious energy was sensing everything, and it was different from when he was still experiencing hallucinations.

    However, the oue was indeed jaw-dropping, not to mention he had experienced it himself.

    Everyone in the surroundings had also sunk into an uproar.

    Xu Qing approached and could not resist his urge to clear the doubts.

    ¡°Were you at the thirteenth region yesterday and annihted an entire insectoidir?¡±

    Qin Feng nodded to affirm, ¡°Yes, upon our parting, I went there with Master Quong Po!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re such a capable person. Well, perhaps you could handle it alone, but are you nning to bring along anyone else to the fifth region this time?¡±

    Qin Feng paused for a moment and continued, ¡°Hmm, maybe just a few, to help in cleaning up the battlefield!¡±

    Xu Qing was left speechless, he was concerned about Qin Feng¡¯s safety in going into the battlefield alone, yet Qin Feng was only nning to bring along helpers to clean up the battlefield.

    Meanwhile, Bai Li nodded and answered, ¡°When we had annihted the insectoidir earlier, there were still some ultra beasts that had sunk into the ruins, and most of them were still unrecoverable!¡±

    The main reason was the restriction on time in cleaning up!

    Some of the aptitude users were alerted and they kept on listening.

    Could it be real? Perhaps a trip into the thirteenth region could result in lucrative rewards!

    ¡°Alright, alright, all of you may go, be mindful of your safety, and remember to report back to the aptitude user lobby by the end of the day!¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡±

    Qin Feng reassured in response and then walked out from the aptitude user hall; he then walked outside.

    There was exactly a gathering outside the aptitude user lobby of the Central City, it was made up of merely D-tiers, and some of them were only E-tiers.

    All of them were gunners that were hoping that someone could bring them to the frontline and try their luck for some battle achievements.

    However, they were the ones who were prepared to die at any time.

    Storming the frontline along with high tier aptitude users would not be an easy task either, they would still need to scout for the enemies and explore the path ahead. During risky situations, they might even be left behind by the powerful aptitude users, and fed to the insectoids.

    In other words, they were merely used as baits and scape-goats.

    What could they do more with such low capabilities?

    However, high risk would often yield high return, and the leftover items from the high tier aptitude users would already be equivalent to the reward if they were to put up a life-or-death struggle for half a year.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li walked out and the low tier aptitude users instinctively stared at them. As there was nothing for them to benefit from, their heads were then bowed down in disappointment.

    Most of them were D-tier aptitude users.

    While some of them were still E-tiers, and with their limited capabilities, they were far from qualified to enter the aptitude user lobby.

    ¡°Recruiting five E-tier aptitude users to the fifth region for a day to be responsible for gathering materials!¡± Qin Feng announced the offer.

    The crowd was looking at each other, while some of them were obviously doubtful of Qin Feng¡¯s offer, they were afraid that their lives might not be secured, or perhaps Qin Feng was just looking for a sacrificial scape-goat!

    All of a sudden, nobody was up for the offer.

    Qin Feng did not expect such a situation to ur.

    It was at that moment, a person rushed forward from behind to catch up with Qin Feng and answered, ¡°I¡¯ll go!¡±

    Qin Feng turned around, and he was surprised to see Yuan Xiaoguang!

    Qin Feng was between tears andughter. ¡°I am looking for an E-tier!¡±

    ¡°You can just assume that I am an E-tier!¡± Yuan Xiaoguang answered immediately.

    Qin Feng asked, ¡°Is your worth cheaper than an E-tier aptitude user? I am only looking for abor that is exchangeable with an E-tier beast general core.¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang was instantly stunned. ¡°Well, this is too cheap, I do not want much, just a C-tier beast general core to hire me, how about that?¡±

    With that being said, everyone else was instantly discouraged in taking up the offer.

    For Qin Feng, an E-tier core would only cost less than five million, and he had countless of them from his past ultra beast hunting where he could easily grab a handful of them, or else, he could just pay with energy cubes.

    Quong Po did not care about those either, he could just pay them with C-tier beast general cores.

    Furthermore, aptitude users could never kill and obtain beast general cores that were the same tier as them, hence, it was a lucrative offer.

    ¡°Not cheap, not at all, Master, count me in!¡±

    An E-tier aptitude user took the risk of offending Yuan Xiaoguang and cut off the conversation.

    An E-tier beast general core for a day, would it not be more than a billion in a month? It was like joining a massive scale battle.

    ¡°Master, count me in too!¡±

    ¡°Me too, me too!¡±

    Soon, Qin Feng was surrounded by a crowd.

    Yuan Xiaoguang immediately regretted his decision.

    ¡°Come to think of it, hiring you will not make a huge difference, it will just be another C-tier beast general core, fifty million, count yourself in!¡±

    With Qin Feng¡¯s current capability, he was definitely far ahead of other C-tier aptitude users, it was nothing for him. A C-tier beast general core would only be thest item that he would consider, although thebels of beast king and beast general only differed by one word, their prices differed by a thousand folds, and beast emperors differed by ten thousand folds.

    If Qin Feng were to keep that information to himself, the others would definitely be unaware of it.

    ¡°Alright, you too, and all three of you, let¡¯s go!¡±

    Obviously, all five people who voiced out earlier were selected, and all of them were over the moon.

    There were eight of them that entered into two separate hover tanks and left the Dusan Central City.

    As Dusan Basin had entered into its winter season, most of the ultra beasts were unwilling to move around, and their infrequent movements had allowed opportunities to take on a besieging formation. During the summer season, the insectoids would roam around the Dusan Basin and it would be forced into defensive mode, or sending A-tier aptitude users to destroy several of those newly-establishedirs.

    Therefore, the initial stage of entering the region was rather safe.

    Beep beep beep!

    Qin Feng¡¯s was alerted by hismunicator, it was from the temporarily formed groupmunication.

    ¡°Qin Feng, we are about to enter into the yellow region, should we still use the hover tank?¡± It was Yuan Xiaoguang.

    As seen from the map, Qin Feng and the others had already entered into the basinnd, and the yellow region indicated a certain level of risk around the area. However, the numbers of insectoids were still low and not rming.

    ¡°Move on!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡± Yuan Xiaoguang could only allow the hover tank to tail behind Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng activated his conscious energy to shroud the two hover tanks with dark runes.

 Chapter 608 - Target, Beehive

    <h4><i>Chapter 608</i>: Target, Beehive</h4>

    Yuan Xiaoguang then realized something. ¡°I have forgotten that he is a dark ability user, that¡¯s great!¡±

    However, for the next half an hour, it was no longer a great situation for him and he had to remain silent.

    Qin Feng¡¯s hover tank entered into the orangebelled region, he remained calm as usual while the other aptitude users who sat in Qin Feng¡¯s Silver Bolt could only act like they were calm.

    However, the tank continued to move forward, and Yuan Xiaoguang that was following behind became restless as his conscious energy was sensing all sorts of powerful presence around. Unfortunately, Qin Feng was not slowing down.

    Dark runes shrouded both of the vehicles to conceal them from the detection of other beasts. However, as they went deeper into the region, gigantic beasts that passed by would elevate the situation to be one of an extremely horrifying scene.

    ¡°Buzz buzz buzz!¡±

    There were at least tens of Bloodthristy Beetles that flew past, they seemed to be unweing and were different from when they were still at lower tiers. They were like small flying vehicles of about two meters in size that flew by in loud buzzing noise.

    They were also equipped with an extremely powerful capability of C1-tier, and each of them had ferociousbat power.

    They were indeed a bunch of horrifying beasts.

    ¡°Why are we still moving forward?!¡± While Yuan Xiaoguang was in the tank, an E-tier aptitude user began to stutter.

    His blood was definitely running cold!

    ¡°Who knows?!¡± Yuan Xiaoguang nced at the device and found out where they were. Shockingly, they had already entered into the high-risk area that wasbelled with crimson-red color.

    They had already infiltrated deep enough to get close to the base camp of the insectoids.

    It was at that moment, the hover tank that was leading in front suddenly stopped, Yuan Xiaoguang felt relieved, however, he was immediately struck by another round of tense moment.

    Although the location was still safe, it was surrounded by at least seven groups of insectoids, and each of them were formed by more than twenty insectoids.

    It was the C5-tier Dino Bee!

    Its gigantic body was at least two meters in size, and equipped with a spear-shaped tail, that moment became even more horrifying when they were surprised by another frightening discovery from the scanning device of the tank.

    He raised his head as he was afraid to use his conscious energy, he was not nning to use it either. With his physical eyes, he was able to identify a dense forest from afar, and a bee hive was hanging on a gigantic tree that was thirty meters in height.

    Every opening of the hive was at least two meters in width, and the extremely huge hive structure was the same as the height of a twelve-floor building, and Dino Bees were seen flying in and out.

    ¡°Bee hive!¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang was struck by immense fear and almost kneeled down to Qin Feng!

    Despite knowing that they were already extremely close to the high-risk region, Yuan Xiaoguang had never thought that he would actually be in such a dire situation, when he looked at the beehive that was hundreds of meters away, he was convinced that he was not going to survive!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng and Bai Li had already gotten down from their hover tank.

    ¡°All of you shall wait in the tank and wait for my order!¡±

    Everyone could only contain the fear within them and wait for Qin Fengmand!

    Qin Feng began to set up a turret.

    Soon, a translucent and glossy energy cannon was set uppletely, there were five of them, aimed at the beehive that was afar.

    ¡°Mister Qin, are you nning to...¡±

    Before the sentence could bepleted, Qin Feng had already pressed the button.

    The other E-tier aptitude users were struck dumb and their minds were nked out.

    Actually, what was a beehive?

    From their point of view, only an A-tier aptitude user would be able to take it down by themselves, as for B-tier aptitude users, it would require at least dozens of them whilebined with countless numbers of C-tiers in order to seed in the siege.

    What about Qin Feng? With everyone counted in, three C-tiers, and five E-tiers, was that a joke?

    ¡°Is he mad?¡±

    The question was unanswered as Qin Feng had already sted out the cannon, it shot up to the sky and drew across in an arc, aimed toward the beehive that was hundreds of meters away.

    The pointy cannon bomb had forced its way and prated into the centre of the beehive. Despite the massive size of the hive, it was not as concealed as those that were hidden underground, therefore, it was easily prated.

    Dong!

    A silenced explosion echoed, followed by multicolored shes that appeared and was seen by everyone who was at the scene. The beehive was pierced through, and unexpectedly, the gigantic hive was gradually crumbling and falling apart.

    m!

    Massive pieces of the hive structure detached from its main body and crumbled off.

    The beehive was disintegrated!

    Amid the chaotic scene, countless numbers of Dino Bees appeared. However, their solid outer scales had already been melted, even their wings were charred and burnt into ashes, and they could never fly again.

    It was a jaw-dropping moment for Yuan Xiaoguang, even an entire egg could fit into his mouth!

    How could the bee hive be destroyed by just that?

    Soon, Yuan Xiaoguang was troubled by another problem that erupted, as soon as the hive had fallen, countless numbers of charred ck Dino Bees flew out. Those that had their wings damaged could only crawl on the ground and head toward Qin Feng and the others with their crimson-red eyes.

    If their stares could kill, Qin Feng and the others would have already died countless times.

    ¡°Buzz buzz buzz buzz...¡±

    Unidentified numbers of Dino Bees followed the trail of wind left by the bomb and rushed toward them.

    The pitch-ck swarm was led by several bleeding bee generals, soon, a Bee King flew past the swarm and was aiming at Qin Feng for a kill.

    Qin Feng was unafraid of it, while an array of horrifying dark abilities appeared.

    ¡°Dark sh!¡±

    All of a sudden, everything was shrouded by the sh, including the surrounding sunlight, scenery, and even air, the lives of the Dino Bees that were storming the front were instantly drained out.

    m!

    Boom!

    The average-sized Dino Bees fell onto the ground, their entire bodies were covered by ayer of fatal smoke, and they had no energy left to struggle nor resist.

    In less than half a minute, all of the Dino Bees were dead.

    ¡°Control!¡±

    Qin Feng took control of those Dino Bees and intended to turn them toward those massively-sized Dino Bees. However, Qin Feng immediately realized that something was not right.

    Without bone structure support, the decayed insectoid bodies were only held together by their fragile outer scales. Upon their death, they were only left with their poisonous stings that were not viable in attacking their own kind.

    All of the dead puppets were soon attacked by other bee beasts and were destroyed.

    It was a huge consumption of energy that had resulted in a loss.

    ¡°Forget about it!¡±

    As Qin Feng made up his mind, he had already retracted the Light of Death. Although tens of Dino Bees were already dead, more of them were still storming forward.

    The overwhelming number of the bees had even covered the sky and blocked the sunlight.

    As soon as the Dino Bees flew up above Qin Feng, in the next moment, countless numbers of stings began to rain down.

    Poof poof poof poof poof poof!

    It was a rain down of poisonous stings.

    Bai Li moved forward, and an array of silver sh appeared, it was spatial maniption.

    A ck rift appeared before Qin Feng, and every poisonous sting that was about to hit him prated into the rift, while the remaining ones were deflected away from the rift and hit onto the ground.

    Apart from Qin Feng, Bai Li and the spots where both of the hover tanks were at, other parts of the ground appeared as if they were densely crowded with hedgehogs, spears that had hit the ground were covered with pitch-ck poisons.

    ¡°Ah ah ah!¡±

    It was aplete shock for Yuan Xiaoguang and the others, they thought that their bodies had been pierced through.

    Only secondster he realized that it was a false rm.

    It was truly a nail-biter!

    <h4>Chapter 609: Radiant Queen</h4>

    Endless waves of attacks did not harm Qin Feng in the slightest. Countless Dino Bees kept swarming down from above, ramming their bodies¡ªones that were as huge as small dinosaurs at Qin Feng.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy was quite powerful. Thus, naturally his energy shield was quite sturdy too. The bees¡¯ attacks could not leave a dent on his shield at all. Instead, these bees were ramming at him so hard that their wings were torn off. This was what Qin Feng wanted though¡ªto lure the bees down and render them immobile.

    The Dino Bees, despite having lost their wings, kept climbing up and crawled toward Qin Feng, seemingly determined to kill him.

    ¡°Magma Skill!¡±

    In an instant, a huge carpet of magma burped out of the ground in front of Qin Feng. In less than a minute, the ground had turned burning red.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Magma burst off into the sky, like a massive tsunami.

    Booom!!

    Loud explosion could be heard as another pir of magma burst off behind the first magma pir¡ªthis one went so high that it struck most of the Dino Bees that were swarming above in the sky.

    Pulling out his Verdant Emperor Saber, Qin Feng dashed forward to take on the C-tier beast king.

    Standing atop two hovercrafts, Bai Li yed all the Dino Bees that dared toe her way. As minutes went by, there was a hill of Dino Bees¡¯ scaffolded corpses next to the hovercrafts.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, was fighting with his foes furiously.

    ¡°Bzzzzzz!¡±

    As the bees pped their wings furiously, loud buzzing noises screeched into everyone¡¯s ears. Not only that, they could also smell a hint of fragrance. In that instant, Bai Li¡¯s eyes widened with joy. In the middle of the beehive, she saw an extremely beautiful Dino Bee, one that stood out from the rest of the bees, flying out.

    This one looked much smaller than the rest of the bees; but its body seemed to be covered in ayer of gold. Gold and tinum trims could be seen on its body as it buzzed its golden wings.

    ¡°Bzzzz!¡±

    Golden ray sparkled out of the bee¡¯s body and shone on the injured Dino Bees below. Suddenly, as though by miracle, these bees¡¯ wounds had all healed up. Even their long, spear-like venom stingers had grown back too!

    This one was the queen bee¡ªthe Radiant Queen!

    Although she was known as a ¡°queen bee¡±, her rank and designation had reached beast emperor rank, not a beast king. She was called a ¡°queen¡± because back in the days when humans first encountered and researched them, theybelled the leader of the hive as ¡°queen¡±.

    As the queen bee, her strength was quite formidable. In fact, when her golden ray hit Qin Feng, he felt as though his skin was being burned as his energy shield began to deplete steadily¡ªas though a bucket of energy acid had been poured onto his energy shield.

    ¡°Bai Li, I¡¯ll leave this to you. The others! Do your best to stay alive!¡±

    ¡°Wokay! Here Ie!¡±

    Bai Li leaped into the air, seemingly not using much power at all; yet, in just one leap, she had jumped across a dozen meters! And all the Dino Bees that tried to block her were all yed by her.

    As for Qin Feng, he kept on shing and shing his Verdant Emperor Saber to y every insectoid that escaped the magma.

    ¡°Get down! Get ready, guys!¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang had regained hisposure now. In fact, he wanted to join the battle too¡ªwatching Qin Feng and Bai Li taking on the Dino Bees was an extremely uplifting experience. Yet, he knew he could not head out and aid them. He was too weak to be of any help.

    Nheless, with his wood-type powers, he could still take on a few of these dreaded bees for a short while.

    ¡°Come to me! Colossal Tree!¡±

    As though reacting to hismand, a massive tree grew up from the dried ground and circled up all six of them in the middle, covering up and hiding their presence from the bees.

    And it worked. The Dino Bees stopped attacking them.

    ¡°Sir, could you open up a small window for us. We¡¯d like to see what¡¯s happening out there!¡±

    ¡°Yeah,e on! Show us what¡¯s going on out there!¡±

    The others eagerly nodded as they urged Yuan Xiaoguang to let them see what was happening outside of the tree barrier.

    ¡°Certainly!¡±

    Well, Yuan Xiaoguang too wanted to watch the fight. As such, he ordered the tree to form 6 small holes so they could see what was going on out there. If the other aptitude users were to see this, they mightugh at their cowardice. Yet, to these 6 men right now, the only thing they were interested in now was whether Qin Feng and Bai Li could defeat the bees out there.

    ¡°To be honest, I didn¡¯t think that things would turn out this way.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, even if those two can¡¯t defeat them, at least they destroyed their hive!¡±

    ¡°Geez, that¡¯s one hive, man. This thing is worth about five trillion, right?¡±

    Then, the five E-tier aptitude users started to sigh in admiration.

    As for Yuan Xiaoguang, his doubt from earlier was now totally gone. He was now sure of it.

    ¡°This is it. We could take out those Blight Butterflies because of these two. You should know... the butterflies¡¯ king was much more powerful than the Dino Bees¡¯ Radiant Queen. So, I suppose it¡¯s going to be a piece of cake for them this time too!¡±

    ¡°Holy crap! Just who are these two? I have never heard of them!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, and they look so young too!¡±

    Right now, Qin Feng did not know what these people were doing. He did not know just how much respect Yuan Xiaoguang had for him right now too. All he knew was that these men had now retreated to safety; so, he could give it his all to take on these monsters.

    Due to the bombardment earlier, there actually were not many Dino Bees left. At most, there were only about two thousand bees left. Of course, there were also the wounded ones lying on the ground.

    Now that their queen had joined the battle, these bees seemed to have regained their courage as they flew up to rejoin the fight. Even Qin Feng¡¯s magma did not seem to do much to hold them off now.

    ¡°Return!¡±

    As he pinched his conscious energy, the magma instantly retreated back underground. The ground had turned from burning red to scorched ck in a few seconds.

    ¡°Heh, let¡¯s see if you cane back to life this time?¡±

    Two pairs of blue, fiery wings burst out behind Qin Feng¡¯s back as he rose to the sky.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    One sh.

    In just one sh, five Dino Bees were cut in half mid-air before falling to the ground and to their deaths.

    Qin Feng kept on shing and shing. With each sh, more and more bees got diced and fell down from the sky.

    In less than a minute, a small hill of bee corpses started to form below.

    As Qin Feng¡¯s attack grew stronger and fiercer, the Dino Bees¡¯ number steadily dropped.

    The ones that were hiding in the Colossal Tree could do nothing but stare at what was happening, for the whole four hours.

    Meanwhile, Bai Li was already standingzily near them. It was evident that the Radiant Queen was dead too.

    Qin Feng struck out hisst attack and ughtered thest of the Dino Bees.

    It was a four-hour ughter. Not a ¡°fight¡¯¡ªit was a ughter.

    If it were the others, they would have been overwhelmed by these Dino Bees in under five minutes. Qin Feng¡¯s energy shield did not crack at all even after withstanding the bees¡¯ attacks for four hours.

    This young man was insanely powerful.

    ¡°Alright, guys. All clear! Come on out! Time to gather the materials. Be careful now! Don¡¯t get stung by their stingers. If you see any one of these still moving, give them thest blow too!¡±

    As Yuan Xiaoguang and the others came out from the Colossal Tree, they were so shocked when they saw just how many insectoid corpses there were on the ground.

    These were all money! Uncountable amount of money littered on the ground!

    Despite being a C-tier, Yuan Xiaoguang too felt as though his head was spinning from seeing so many insectoid corpses around him.

    When he decided to tag along, Yuan Xiaoguang was curious if what he witnessed before was just a hallucination from the Blight Butterflies¡¯ pollen. Even if it was hallucination, he was certain that he could aid Qin Feng with his wood-type powers.

    Well, he was able to aid him¡ªby collecting all the insectoid corpses with the tree roots...

    He... he did not expect that his job would be this easy under Qin Feng¡¯s team!

    As for the other members, they were overjoyed.

    ¡°Hahaha! I found some materials to refine my weapon!¡±

    ¡°Heh, materials for weapon refining? I found a beast general crystal core!¡±

    ¡°I found another too!¡±

    These five E-tier aptitude users kept on digging the Dino Bees¡¯ corpse pile, like children who were receiving presents during festivals!

 Chapter 610 - Kindness Returned With Ingratitude

    <h4>Chapter 610: Kindness Returned With Ingratitude</h4>

    Of course, these people were not like the ones in the City of Death. They would still honor the contract, not consumed by greed.

    Besides, these men were more cowardlypared to the thugs in the City of Death. After all, they now knew just how impossibly powerful Qin Feng was!

    It took Qin Feng four hours to ughter the bees and it also took three hours for them to collect the materials. When they finally finished collecting, the skies were getting dark¡ªit was winter; so, night came early.

    ¡°Let¡¯s retreat.¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Before leaving, some of them still used their conscious energy to scan the area again to double check. They were afraid that they had left anything valuable behind.

    It felt almost like they had gotten addicted to collecting the treasures!

    However, it took them a lot of effort to collect them too. Not every material from the bees was invaluable. The best materials were their venom stingers¡ªthese things were as hard as steel. Other than that, the bees¡¯ shells were so sturdy that they could make armors out of them. Even though the wings were quite fragile, they could be used to make air gliders.

    Still, to collect them, one would need to dissect them. And to dissect them, they would need to cut open their stomachs¡ªthese contained nauseous green goo.

    If Qin Feng were to bring these corpses back whole, Xue Xingfu and the gang would have to deal with the goo and it would dirty up the base.

    This was why Qin Feng wanted to bring some men with him¡ªso that he could handle dissection on the field. Not only that, he could also bring these back to the market to sell them.

    Of course, Qin Feng had burned everything else that he did not need. He could not risk leaving anything behind¡ªthe other ultra beasts could chow down on their remains and grow stronger.

    Thus, the eight of them retreated with joy that night.

    And out of pure coincidence, Qin Feng¡¯s team met up with Xu Qing¡¯s team.

    The seventh and fifth regions were quite close to one another. These two regions were zones that were slightly more dangerous than the others too. As the two teams met up and travelled back together, Qin Feng and Xu Qing started to chat using their internal energy. They did not mind if their teammates could hear them.

    ¡°How¡¯s the hunt today?¡± Xu Qing asked.

    ¡°Well, we¡¯ve got some progress! How about you guys?¡±

    ¡°We only got to clear a little of the area. It might take us about half a month topletely stabilize the ce.¡±

    ¡°Well, that¡¯s already quick enough in my book!¡±

    ¡°So, I wonder if you¡¯re interested in a team-up? With you by our side, we could do this a lot faster!¡±

    ¡°Nah, I still prefer to work alone.¡±

    As they were talking, the others only followed them from behind with their mouths shut.

    Xu Qing¡¯s underlings, naturally, thought that Qin Feng was a load of crap. Even though he had destroyed the hive, this must have been done using some super-powered weaponry, not with his own might.

    On the other hand, Yuan Xiaoguang and the others were baffled after hearing what Qin Feng said. He hadpletely wiped out the Dino Bees earlier and yet he said they had ¡°some progress¡±.

    Still, under normal circumstances, Xu Qing¡¯s method of handling this was the way to go. First, they needed to be wary of the insectoids so that they would note rioting at them en mass. After depleting their number to a certain extent, then they could strike out full force and lure out the emperor.

    Thus, usually, it would take half a month to kill one insectoid emperor. If they could kill three emperors during the entire winter, this was already the best result humans could pull off.

    And if they kept on doing this with three or four B-tiers holding several regions, they could then slowly but surely stabilize the whole region¡ªthey did not need to race against time because insectoids were not intelligent.

    However, Qin Feng was doing itpletely differently!

    He went straight to the hive. He did not care for the other pawns that he encountered along the way. And then, with a few shots of weaponry that no one had ever seen on any market before, he had annihted 90% of the hive. Then, all the rest was just dealing with the wounded pawns and the emperor and queen.

    His hunt was legendary!

    It went so smoothly that no one would believe it if they were to tell the story!

    The two transports brought the two groups, who had different perspectives in their heads, to Dusan Central City.

    ¡°Here¡¯s your rewards, gentlemen. And each one of you gets a bottle of the Dino Bees¡¯ honey. Remember to mix them with other materials first before gulping them down. With the honey¡¯s potent energy inside, your body would explode to pieces if you drink them as they are!¡±

    Qin Feng handed the crystal cores to the six men and then gave them each a bottle of honey.

    Of course, these were not the honey they got from within the queen bee¡¯s hive¡ªthose were already stowed away by Bai Li!

    ¡°Thank you, Sir. Are you still heading to the basin tomorrow?¡± An E-tier aptitude user asked.

    ¡°Yeah, if you¡¯re heading there again, could you bring us along again?¡±

    ¡°Sure. Let¡¯s exchange contacts!¡±

    Even Yuan Xiaoguang too called Qin Feng ¡°sir¡± as they added his contact in theirmunicators.

    After waiting for Xu Qing¡¯s team to leave, Qin Feng then brought Bai Li forward to inspect their loot.

    Ten minutester, a loud announcement was sounded in the aptitude user lobby.

    ¡°Ding Dong! The fifth region¡¯s status has changed!¡±

    The fifth region, originally a red zone, had now be an orange zone.

    ¡°Status of operation to disarm C-tier Bee Hive: Sess!¡±

    ¡°Leader of Operation: Qin Feng¡±

    ¡°yer of C3-tier Beast Emperor ¡®Radiant Queen¡¯: C-tier Aptitude User, Bai Li¡±

    The news shocked many who were in the lobby.

    Xu Qing, who had already gone back to the battlefield, too was speechless after hearing the news.

    Did Qin Feng say that he only had ¡°some progress¡± earlier? He was only being humble earlier!

    ¡°Geez, you can¡¯t trust this kid at all! What a dishonest troll!¡± Xu Qing shook his head and smiled, not intending to ponder upon it any further.

    Meanwhile, Quong Ting was weing guests at the aptitude user lobby; thus, naturally, she got the news too.

    ¡°This Qin Feng... is he really that strong?¡±

    A sh of idea glimmered in her eyes.

    ¡°If he¡¯s that strong... if I have a husband like that, the others would definitely envy me!¡±

    ¡°Dad can¡¯t be counted on... but I could count on Qin Feng. Not only that, I heard that his organization is fairly wealthy too!¡±

    She was mumbling to herself out loud¡ªthere were two C-tier aptitude users around her and they heard everything. They looked at one another before giving her a re of contempt. These two were bodyguards that Quong Bo had hired to protect her. If it was not for the money, they would not even want to waste time on her.

    They did not give her a piece of their minds though¡ªbecause someone as great as Qin Feng would not eveny an eye at her! Qin Feng would see through her greedy, deceitful feint as soon as she approached him. The young man was no idiot after all.

    Taking a sip of red wine, Quong Ting said, ¡°Still, there¡¯s a Bai Li always sticking close to him. She¡¯s a bother. You two, go get rid of her!¡±

    The two C-tier aptitude users frowned.

    ¡°Miss, it¡¯s best that youe up with other ns. We can¡¯t leave you alone. For your safety, we¡¯re under orders to stick close to you. After you got kidnapped thest time, General Quong got so pissed at us and ordered us to never have you out of our sights!¡±

    ¡°Tsk! You¡¯re so useless! How could you not be able to do such a small task?!¡± Quong Ting yelled at them furiously.

    Even after facing her wrath, the bodyguards still stood there, not moving a muscle. Seeing that she could not order them around, Quong Ting stormed out of the lobby and back into her room furiously.

    ¡°Heh, you think I can¡¯t do anything without you two? It¡¯s easy. Just having her killed would do!¡±

    Thus, Quong Ting switched on hermunicator and put up a fifty-billion bounty on Bai Li¡¯s head.

    It did not take long before someone took up the task.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you worry. We¡¯ll have her head in seven days!¡±

    Quong Ting smiled after seeing the message.

    However, she did not know that on the other side... this group of men, a group not from the Huaxia Alliance, was holding a meeting to deal with thistest bounty. If Quong Ting was here with them, she would definitely recognize them.

    These men were from the same group that kidnapped her before¡ªDiran¡¯s group, the Shi Devils!

 Chapter 611 - Traitor and Ambush

    <h4>Chapter 611: Traitor and Ambush</h4>

    The Shi Devils had been active in Dusan Basin for quite some time now, spreading far and wide in the area. The group was not just Diran and his goons¡ªin fact, Diran was just one of the lieutenants in the group.

    Being an organization in the underworld, they would not just let things slide after their asses were handed to them.

    ¡°Bai Li? Isn¡¯t this the girl that was with the boy who ruined our n?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I remember her. Thisss is so beautiful. How could we forget her? But when I think about it... I actually don¡¯t quite remember how she looks. Still, I know she¡¯s hot!¡±

    Diran said, ¡°She has a strong aptitude in conscious energy. Hmm, this is expected from people who have learned conscious energy control. This means that she¡¯s a really tough aptitude user!¡±

    The others did not seem to show much concern after hearing Diran¡¯s deduction. This did not change their n to take on Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    ¡°This is actually great for us. Boss might actually have an excuse to wage a war now. Man, look at her picture again, guys. This girl is mighty fine!¡±

    Diran smirked as he sent Bai Li¡¯s picture to their boss¡¯smunicator.

    The boss of the Shi Devils was, of course, Shi. He was not only an A-tier but also a psychotic murderer who had some perverted appetite for women¡ªhe loved to kidnap beautifuldies and rape them for days before chopping them into pieces.

    These maimed women¡¯s body parts would then be his ¡°collection¡±.

    Thus, after receiving Bai Li¡¯s picture, it did not take long for Shi to give Diran a reply.

    ¡°If she¡¯s a C-tier, call Faelog. Tell him to bring her to me.¡±

    Faelog was a B5-tier metal type aptitude user. He was quite powerful¡ªin fact, more powerful than Diran.

    Diran had no objection in bringing Faelog along. He thought that Qin Feng was just a gunner who knew a bit of ancient warriors¡¯ martial arts. Gunners were known to be weak against metal type aptitude users. That was why Diran thought that having Faelog with him was enough to take Qin Feng down.

    All he needed to do was to have Qin Feng and Faelog fight as he went and grab Bai Li.

    Thus, Diran met up with Faelog and recruited another twenty underlings to bring along for the mission. They took a quiet route, carefully treading through the thick forests of Dusan Basin near its Central City.

    Treading through the woods took them three days.

    In those three days, Qin Feng had been heading out to take out insectoid nests. And each time he went out, he seeded.

    On the third day, Qin Feng had already taken out four nests,ting him 20 trillion and 250,000 points.

    Meanwhile, Xu Qing took a lot of time in cleaning up the seventh region. During this time, the areas around him already had their statuses changed¡ªfrom red zones to orange zones. Xu Qing even joked that perhaps before he was able to take down the nest in the seventh region, Qin Feng would have cleaned up all the insectoid emperors around.

    These regions were numbered below ten¡ªmeaning that they were very close to the Central City. The nests in these regions were quite a pain to destroy and the authorities would need them to be cleared before spring. Yet, Qin Feng had almost wiped them clean in just four days.

    Even Shang Han was surprised when she checked in on Qin Feng¡¯s progress the other day via hermunicator. Although she knew that he was able to handle the ultra beast hordes alone, cleaning up the insectoid nests with this speed was very unthinkable!

    ¡°Ahem! You don¡¯t have to work this hard. Just sweeping up some nests that you think are a bother is good enough.¡± Shang Han said.

    ¡°Dear Regent, this is a little difficult for me to do... The ces that I¡¯ve been tend to have no grass to provide shelters for the ultra beasts. So, I¡¯m used to cleaning up everything I see to the best of my abilities.¡± Qin Feng smiled.

    This was true actually. The ces that he was stationed at before were quite barren. And he was not lying about his hunting habit¡ªif he had stayed in the Northern Region for a little longer, Qin Feng would have cleaned up most congregations of the ultra beasts there.

    Unlike the others, Qin Feng wanted to collect the ultra beasts¡¯ energies. If he needed this much energy to ascend, it meant that he had to kill just as many to reach his goal.

    ¡°Alright, alright... but don¡¯t overdo it. You don¡¯t want these ultra beasts to get desperate because of your heroics.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. They won¡¯t be a problem.¡±

    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll leave things to you over there. I¡¯ll prepare a feast for you when youe back. Of course, you¡¯ll get your rewards and points too.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Qin Feng responded nonchntly. He did not care for the rewards.

    These mary gains and points were not much use in other ces. Earning too much of these would not do him any good since Qin Feng had gotten all the things he wanted from the markets in Beihua City.

    However, Qin Feng might be able to get something different and useful in Dusang Central City with his newly acquired 200,000 points.

    Thus, another peaceful, restful night had passed. After walking out of the hotel, Qin Feng saw that Yuan Xiaoguang and the other five E-tier aptitude users were already waiting outside.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng raised his hand and summoned his Silver Bolt.

    As they all entered into their hovercrafts, Qin Feng heard someone calling from behind, ¡°Qin Feng, wait!¡±

    Qin Feng turned and saw Quong Ting standing next to him.

    Huh, what did she want now?

    Although Qin Feng had his doubt, he still stopped and greeted her out of courtesy.

    ¡°Yes, Ms Quong?¡±

    ¡°Oh, please. Just call me Ting Ting or Little Ting will do. You¡¯ve saved my life after all!¡±

    Qin Feng lightly frowned. ¡± Is there anything you need?¡±

    ¡°Where are you headed this time for your mission? Let¡¯s go there together!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned again¡ªhe did not want to bring a civilian with him. Even though she had two C-tiers with her, it would be quite bothersome to babysit someone in the field.

    ¡°The ce could be too treacherous for you, Ms Quong.¡±

    ¡°You haven¡¯t told me where you¡¯re headed yet. How would we know it¡¯s treacherous?¡± Quong Ting insisted.

    After giving it some thought, Qin Feng decided to tell her his destination, ¡°The second region.¡±

    Quong Ting¡¯s eyes lit up before she nodded and mocked up a disappointed look. ¡°Oh, I am heading to the first region... but we could still travel together before we part ways at the junction. Come on, let¡¯s go!¡±

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± Qin Feng answered coldly.

    However, he had a hunch that Quong Ting was up to something. Still, he agreed to travel with her¡ªif it was travelling out of the city together, there was no reason to reject her.

    A momentter, they had passed the green zones and about to enter the yellow zones; thus, they bid their goodbyes.

    After seeing that Qin Feng and his gang had ventured deep into the second region, Quong Ting quickly sent a message to the assassin via hermunicator.

    ¡°After you kill Bai Li, I¡¯ll pretend toe out and act like I¡¯m saving Qin Feng from you. Just pretend to fight back a bit and then run awayter!¡±

    Quong Ting thought that there was just one assassin working for her. So, her n to y the hero was perfect. When it was all over and done, Qin Feng would have owed her his life.

    This was a deceitful n but it was a solid one nheless.

    However, she did not know just who she had contacted to kill Bai Li.

    After receiving the message, a smile curved up on Diran¡¯s face.

    ¡°Heh, this woman is such a retard!¡±

    Of course, Diran knew his client was Quong Ting. He could not wait to see her face when she realized who she had hired to do her dirty job.

    ¡°Alright, boys! The littlemb ising!¡±

    After receiving his orders, Diran¡¯s goons went into hiding and got ready for the ambush.

    And Qin Feng¡¯s hovercraft was getting closer and closer to the borders between the first and second region!

 Chapter 612 - You Dare Take My Woman?

    <h4>Chapter 612: You Dare Take My Woman?</h4>

    As Qin Feng drove his hovercraft, he used dark runes to shield himself from being detected. Even so, he avoided running into insectoids or other ultra beasts so as to not cause a chain reaction.

    That was why he used his consciousness to seek out where these creatures were and used that knowledge to go to areas where they were the least popted.

    Through this method, he quickly discovered that it was not just insectoids that they should be worrying about.

    Everyone had a different aura, and the difference could be easily detected by one¡¯s consciousness.

    Qin Feng¡¯s brows furrowed slightly.

    He turned on hismunicator and said, ¡°There might be a fight happening soon. I¡¯ll get out of the car and deal with it, you can go ahead first!¡±

    On the other end, the originally rxed and carefree Yuan Xiaoguang sat up with alertness.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡±

    Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and stared in a direction as he spoke in a chilling tone. ¡°There are Dark Coalition people nearby.¡±

    ¡°What? Who?¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang was about to spread out his consciousness to investigate but Qin Feng quickly added, ¡°Don¡¯t act rashly, there¡¯s a B-tier among them!¡±

    ¡°Th-...¡± Yuan Xiaoguang was stunned. He was only C4-tier in terms of strength. Even though he was an ability user, there was no way he could match a B-tier inbat.

    After just a few days ofbat, Yuan Xiaoguang saw Qin Feng as more than just a simple employer. Even if he was in the same tier, Yuan Xiaoguang had never admired another person as much.

    He even believed that there was no doubt that Qin Feng¡¯s power would reach B-tier in the future. As such, he thought about joining the Fengli Organization.

    What he did not expect was encountering a problem like this one!

    But he had already made up his mind and it was way toote to turn back now.

    ¡°I¡¯ll stay back with you, the others can go ahead!¡± Yuan Xiaoguang said suddenly.

    No need,¡± Qin Feng said immediately.

    ¡°I can¡¯t leave you alone right now. I¡¯m a wood ability user, I may not have any use in hunting ultra beasts but there¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t do inbat against other aptitude users!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled, ¡°To be honest, I¡¯ll win faster if you weren¡¯t here.¡±

    Those words left Yuan Xiaoguang speechless.

    ¡°You serious?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m stopping!¡± Qin Feng said as he stopped the hovercraft, opened the door and walked out. As soon as that happened, several consciousnesses locked onto his person.

    Although Qin Feng covered the vehicle with dark runes, these runes were not invisible unless he was in a dark or shadowy area.

    This kind of ability was used to avoid being detected by the insectoids.

    That was why these people had long noticed the two hover cars, and the moment he stepped out of his vehicle these people instantly knew that they had been spotted!

    Bai Li hopped into the driver seat of the Silver Bolt, turned in another direction and immediately floored it.

    When Yuan Xiaoguang saw Bai Li drive away so tantly, he did not hesitate to drive off after her.

    The members of the Shi Devils had not expected this oue. Qin Feng stood in the grass, looking very alone.

    ¡°That woman didn¡¯t get out of the car!¡± Diran quickly said.

    ¡°You stay and deal with him, I¡¯ll go catch that woman!¡± Faelog said, and the man immediately sped off like a missile, with incredible speed.

    Diran was taken aback. The n he originally had was for Faelog to deal with Qin Feng while he grabbed Bai Li.

    However, he thought that Qin Feng was a gunner and did not think too much about it.

    He did not know how Qin Feng had killed more than twenty ancient warriors at the same time, he had to focus all of his attention on dealing with a B-tier master assassin.

    Qin Feng naturally sensed that Faelog had run off to chase Bai Li, but he did not give chase and let him go. It was better this way, Bai Li could easily deal with a B-tier. The most annoying thing was probably getting rushed at by several people at once. In the end, the E-tiers that had to clean up after Qin Feng were the most unfortunate ones.

    These were the people he had only known for a few days, but even then there was some form of camaraderie between one another. How could he let the people he hired get killed, would that not be embarrassing on his part?

    As soon as Faelog left, Diran and the others surrounded Qin Feng. Three of them were ability users and the remaining fifteen were all ancient warriors.

    There were no gunners!

    Diran was fully prepared this time, knowing that Qin Feng¡¯s guns were powerful he did not bring any gunners that could be exploited and brought ancient warriors instead. The n was as long as he could get close to Qin Feng, then he would surely kill him.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t expect this to happen, boy?¡± Diran¡¯s eyes were filled with murderous intent. Qin Feng¡¯s little stunt had caused him to lose his subordinates and drove his boss into an unyielding fury that was directed at him. If he did not find Bai Li, he was afraid of whatever consequences awaited him.

    But that was behind him, now was the time he redeemed himself by doing a good job.

    ¡°You¡¯re going to die here today. That¡¯s already considered quite a low price to pay. Your girlfriend won¡¯t be so lucky though. She¡¯ll be the Boss¡¯s woman soon. That¡¯s a shame, I¡¯m pretty sure she¡¯ll get split into pieces in just a few days!¡±

    ¡°Haha, maybe I can get the Boss to show some mercy and let usds have a taste too. Don¡¯t worry kid, we¡¯ll make sure your girly¡¯s never alone!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, maybe you should remember to mind your own business in the next life!¡±

    Everyone looked at Qin Feng with mocking gazes.

    Meanwhile, when Qin Feng met their gazes all he saw were corpses.

    ¡°Your boss? That¡¯d be Shi, correct?¡± Qin Feng said in a serious tone.

    Diran sneered, ¡°It looks like you know who you¡¯ve offended!¡±

    Shi was an A-tier aptitude user, well known and feared for his power. This was a kind of person that nobody would even dream of offending.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°He dares to set his eyes on my woman? It seems that he¡¯s been alive for too long!¡±

    Diran did not expect Qin Feng to say such things in this situation. He was basically asking to die.

    Perhaps it was hisst defiant words in the face of death?

    All of a sudden, a flicker shed past his eyes and Qin Feng¡¯s figure had actually disappeared.

    He reappeared again, this time in front of the ancient warrior that sounded the happiest when talking about Bai Li.

    The ancient warrior¡¯s pupils shrank. The C-tier¡¯s instincts told him that something bad was about to happen and called upon his internal force as fast as he could.

    Bong!

    A dull sound rang through the air as a fist crashed into his internal force. It was also wrapped in internal force. When the two forces met, his protection was instantaneously shattered.

    The fist turned into a palm which wrapped itself around the ancient warrior¡¯s neck.

    ¡°Ah!¡± The ancient warrior¡¯s face flushed red and his hands grabbed the wrist connected to the palm. He squeezed as if his life depended on it, adamant on breaking the hand that was choking the air out of him.

    It was a shame that the ancient warrior soon learned that the skin of what grabbed him was not the skin of a human, but something akin to the leathery hide of an emperor ss ultra beast. Something imprable.

    Qin Feng let out a chilling chuckle and his hand erupted with power.

    Ka-runch!

    A crunching sound came from the other¡¯s neck!

 Chapter 613 - Dog Eat Dog

    <h4>Chapter 613: Dog Eat Dog</h4>

    The ancient warrior¡¯s head was bent at an angle and his body went limp. With a flick of his hand, Qin Feng threw the man to the ground like it was a ragdoll!

    A powerful ancient warrior just had his neck broken by Qin Feng¡¯s hand!

    Even if one were to say that out loud, nobody would have believed it.

    C-tiers were powerful beings, they were not something that could be easily killed.

    ¡°What?!¡±

    Everyone was shocked from seeing this.

    Diran was also surprised, he had not expected Qin Feng to have such physical strength but he could not believe what he just saw. He thought it was a fluke and the ancient warrior was careless.

    ¡°Everyone, attack together!¡±

    Diran roared out themand and consciousness was quickly mobilized. The ground under Qin Feng¡¯s feet began to loosen and be sticky, even his body began to sink downward.

    ¡°Desert Trap!¡± Diran eximed.

    Qin Feng¡¯s legs were pulled into the sand beneath him and his body was stuck fast. These circumstances emboldened the people around him to attack all at once.

    A barrage of blows from swords, spears, staves and maces infused with internal force crashed onto Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    ng!

    An aura of light surrounded Qin Feng¡¯s body, deflecting the weapons that tried to pummel into him.

    ¡°He has internal force!¡±

    ¡°Ancient martial arts, he can use them?¡±

    Since Qin Feng attacked the ancient warrior with his internal force so quickly that nobody around him realized what he had done. The moment he revealed that he could use internal force, things suddenly began to clear up.

    This ancient warrior Qin Feng, definitely had immense power and internal force!

    ¡°Attack!¡±

    Diran cried out and the two ability users began to take action.

    ¡°Combustion Pearls!¡±

    A fireball around the size of a human head appeared in one of the ability user¡¯s palm and split up into ten more.

    Bang bang bang bang bang!

    The fireballs collided with Qin Feng¡¯s internal force and if it were any normal person, their defenses would have already been shattered. The man thatunched this attack was very urate, and powerful as well.

    However, when used against Qin Feng it certainly was not enough.

    Qin Feng smirked and unleashed his consciousness, pointing at the fire ability user.

    ¡°Combustion Pearls!¡±

    In an instant, a fireball appeared in front of Qin Feng. It was about 1.5 meters in diameter and hovered in mid-air. It wasrger than the surrounding people. From another¡¯s perspective, the fireball was giving off a menacing amount of pressure.

    ¡°Messing with fire in my face? Let¡¯spare mes then!¡±

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Following Qin Feng¡¯s direction, the fireball quicklyunched out and another one immediately took the ce of thest one before firing out as well.

    A string of ten fireballs suddenly appeared and flew outward!

    Whoosh!

    The fireball whizzed through the air and collided with the fire ability user.

    ¡°Aaah!¡± The ability user screamed in terror. He had no idea Qin Feng could use such a trick.

    What goes aroundes around. It moved so quickly that he had no time to react.

    Whoosh whoosh!

    One after another huge fireballs flew out and mmed into the ability user.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡± The ability user could not avoid every attack but still tried to escape. At that moment, a giant earth wall appeared behind him and intercepted the fireballs.

    This was the ability of an earth ability user.

    Boom boom!

    The fireballs sted the wall apart. If the ability user had not run away he would have died right there and then!

    Even though nobody else had died, the disy of abilities and internal force made the people surrounding him suddenly retreat in a fit of fright and did not dare rush forward.

    Despite their retreat, Qin Feng did not n on letting them go so easily.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!

    The ancient warrior who had crossed Qin Feng before suddenly found himself entrapped by him. The battle that urred a few days ago seemed to be reying itself.

    No matter how hard they struggled, they could not overpower Qin Feng.

    ¡°And you wanted to leave me in an open casket? nning on cucking me too?¡± Qin Feng let out a chillingugh. ¡°You think I¡¯d show mercy?¡±

    ¡°Yaaagh! I¡¯m not going down so easily!¡±

    The ancient warrior unleashed his internal force, concentrating all of it into the weapon in his hands and stabbing in Qin Feng¡¯s direction.

    ng ng ng ng!

    In this frantic dance of death, the weapon shed against Qin Feng¡¯s internal force but when he raised his hand and pointed forward, the man suddenly let go of his weapon.

    This waspletely out of his league.

    Pop! A thumb-sized hole suddenly appeared in the center of his head,as if something had drilled into his skull.

    The ones who tried to surround Qin Feng began to move even faster after that!

    Diran, who had no idea about Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities, no longer tried to take him head on.

    Just as these people frantically fled, a hover car drove in from the distance. It moved extremely quickly and appeared between Diran and Qin Feng, blocking him from advancing.

    The hover car looked very familiar, and that was because Qin Feng had traveled with it before!

    Afterward, Quong Ting and two bodyguards hopped out of the vehicle.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you alright? I brought people to rescue you!¡±

    Quong Ting said abruptly.

    The thing was, she had not noticed the current situation. Would Qin Feng have even needed her assistance?

    Quong Ting had not even finished talking before Qin Feng unleashed the power of his Asteroid Assimtion and crashed into an ancient warrior, draining away his internal force.

    ¡°Aaieee!¡±

    The ancient warrior let out a terrified scream before his body convulsed as if he had just been inflicted with a horrible disease. His eyes rolled into the back of his head and his mouth frothed. The most horrible thing that people noticed was that the man¡¯s body had begun to rapidly be thinner!

    Boom!

    After draining away his internal strength, Qin Feng immediately threw the man to the ground.

    The corpse fell right at Quong Ting¡¯s feet.

    ¡°Aaah!¡± Quong Ting screamed, momentarily losing her senses.

    But soon, she noticed Diran in the crowd.

    Diran was the one who kidnapped her thest time, how could she forget him?

    When enemies crossed paths, it was natural for emotions to fly. Quong Ting did not even think twice before ordering, ¡°That¡¯s the bastard that kidnapped me! Kill him!¡±

    The two C-tiers she was with did not act as their eyes reflected doubt. Obviously it was a coincidence that these people ambushed Qin Feng. How could it be? It had to be that these people had been hired by the very woman they were with!

    While they were not sure, Diran knew Quong Ting¡¯s identity. As he flicked his eyes toward her, he yelled, ¡°Quong Ting you b*tch! You¡¯re betraying us? You ordered this ambush!¡±

    Qin Feng narrowed his eyes as his attention turned to Quong Ting.

    In an instant, as things progressed, the idea appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s mind and everything became clear.

    No wonder he would suddenly meet Quong Ting halfway through.

    She was the one who had nned all of this to chase him down!

    What an ungrateful person!

    At this moment, Quong Ting shuddered all over as if she was being stared at by a savage beast. She was anxious. She wanted to be Qin Feng¡¯s savior. If she wanted to gain his favor she naturally could not let him know the truth, so she quickly argued, ¡°Qin Feng, they¡¯re talking bull! How could I do such a thing? Kill them quickly before they spread rumors!¡±

 Chapter 614 - Returning an Offence

    <h4>Chapter 614: Returning an Offence</h4>

    Quong Ting¡¯s words did not phase Qin Feng in the slightest. Even if she had not spoken up, he would not have let these people go either.

    The Shi Devils in the Dusan Basin were basically like parasites.

    They were not part of the Huaxia Alliance and fell under the jurisdiction of the Dusan Alliance.

    That was why these people were always around the Dusan Basin, looking to ambush and kill off members of the Huaxia Alliance. They treated everyone else like they were bloatedmbs and they themselves a pack of wolves.

    More importantly, the Dusan Alliance did not seem to care at all and even encouraged people to behave this way. That was because these people would sell the items they did not want to the struggling members at the bottom of the barren Dusan Alliance.

    It was a business that rewarded them with more money that they would usually make.

    Qin Feng never had ns to let this cancer continue, but he had also noted where Quong Ting clearly stood.

    That woman waspletely hopeless!

    He ignored her for the time being as internal force erupted under his feet.

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    The air around him whistled as he sped forward, his body shrouded in the tailless head of a dragon.

    In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng rushed past Quong Ting and caught up with the people who were trying to escape.

    By then, the ancient warriors realized how fast Qin Feng was. They had already moved up to a hundred meters away but he caught up with them in the blink of an eye.

    ¡°No, we can¡¯t outrun him!¡± The fire ability user from before cried out.

    He was not an ancient warrior, and even though Fiery Rampage allowed him to instantly avoid attacks it was not enough to carry him over long distances and he could not escape Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    ¡°Mr. Faelog! Save us!¡± The fire ability user screamed into hismunicator.

    What he did not expect was that the moment he called for help was the exact moment the B-tier metal ability user arrived.

    It waspletely different from what they had imagined, in truth Faelog was actually running away with his tail between his legs to save himself.

    His body waspletely coated in metal and it appeared dazzlingly shiny, however thebat uniform he was wearing as well as the other rune equipment he was wearing were all scratched up or damaged. He looked like he was wearing a beggar¡¯s rags.

    Whoosh!

    A gust of wind was left in his wake, in fact, it was Bai Li. She was hot on Faelog¡¯s tail.

    Although nobody saw the battle between these two, there was no doubt that Faelog was the one who was losing.

    He suddenly spotted Quong Ting in the crowd and knew that she obviously was not an ally. Diran had warned him about her before.

    That was when he turned his attention directly onto her.

    Fwip!

    Countless bits of metal suddenly floated up into the air and rushed in Quong Ting¡¯s direction.

    ¡°Watch out!¡±

    Her two bodyguards cried out a warning, activated their internal force and leapt in front of her to stop this attack!

    But how could they be able to deter the attack of a B-tier ability user?

    Pop! Their internal force was instantly shattered and their bodies impaled with several bits of metal.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    The two were knocked down, coughing up blood as they copsed.

    ¡°Come here!¡±

    Faelog¡¯s ability was unpredictable. His metal runes turned into a metal chain that wrapped itself tightly around Quong Ting and dragged her to his side.

    In the next moment, his metallic hand was wrapped around her neck.

    ¡°Don¡¯t move or I¡¯ll kill her!¡±

    Faelog said to Bai Li, his body shaking all over.

    Before he chased down Bai Li, he did not expect this woman to know spatial maniption. She hadpletely caught him off guard and immediately caused serious damage to his body. If it were not for him using Metallic Form to preserve his body, he would have otherwise died.

    Although he managed to save himself, Bai Li was too hard to deal with. She was skilled with using her spatial runes which prevented him from getting close to her and his body was almost destroyed by her Spatial de attack.

    He suddenly realized that he had bitten off more than he could chew.

    This woman was indeed devastatingly beautiful. Beautiful like how a rose was, but this rose had thorns and the devastating part was that these thorns were toxic. A poisonous rose indeed.

    The good news was that he had captured Quong Po¡¯s daughter. Originally he wanted to shame the man, but right now ckmail was good too.

    The problem was, Qin Feng did not listen to him at all.

    After activating Dragon Steps, he gained overwhelming speed. He appeared in front of the fire ability user in an instant.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    ¡°me Shield!¡±

    The fire ability user eximed in a frantic tone!

    Boom! The Verdant Emperor Saber came in once again.

    ¡°Elemental Form!¡± The ability user did not want to face the iing blow and turned into a roaring me before scattering in all directions.

    The ability was a more advanced version of Fire Shape. Qin Feng¡¯s World Ame had a simr concept to it. It was an ability that could not normally be dealt with by a single person.

    He knew about this ability¡¯s weakness though. That or in this situation, the way he did it was through brute force.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    He summoned a massive Fire Dragon which opened up its mouth and sucked in the fire that was attempting to escape.

    Soon, one of the mes turned into a human figure as it was drawn toward the dragon. He had to fight the dragon, otherwise if it were to consume all of his fire runes he would be dead.

    Boom!

    Kaboom!

    Fire was sloughed in all directions, igniting the grass below and quickly making the nt life in their surroundings wilt and turn ck. The Fire Dragon that Qin Feng summoned was extremely powerful and it totally consumed its opponent. Even when he fought desperately to save himself, it was all for nothing in the end!

    The fire ability user had been in!

    Pop!

    The charred corpse fell onto the ground and enraged Faelog to no end.

    ¡°I said stop!¡±

    Qin Feng did not stop at all and continued to fight.

    Faelog was so angry that all he saw was red.

    P-rak!

    Sharp metal ws dug into Quong Ting¡¯s shoulder and suddenly tugged at it.

    Her arm was torn off in an instant.

    ¡°Aaaaaiiieeee!¡± Quong Ting screamed with abination of fear and pain.

    ¡°If you kill another person, I¡¯ll rip off her other arm!¡± Faelog warned.

    Qin Feng did not even flinch. He was like a wolf in a herd of sheep and with a flick of the Verdant Emperor Saber another persony dead.

    This time, including Faelog, there were only nine people left in the Shi Devils¡¯ ambush crew.

    ¡°You!¡± Faelog red at Qin Feng, his other hand moving toward Quong Ting¡¯s other shoulder.

    At this moment, one of the two now severely injured C-tier bodyguards that Quong Ting brought along eximed, ¡°Mr. Qin, please save ourdy! For Master Quong¡¯s sake!¡±

    Qin Feng then stopped in his tracks and the rest took this moment to form up behind Faelog, afraid that Qin Feng would suddenly attack!

    ¡°Why should I save someone who has nothing to do with me? What kind of twisted morality is there in repaying an offence with virtue?¡±

    At this point, Quong Ting was in so much pain that she could not stop herself from crying and screaming as she begged for mercy.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I was wrong. It¡¯s just that I had a crush on you. I wasn¡¯t thinking about anything else. I¡¯ll do anything for you, I¡¯ll owe you for an eternity!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face twisted with disgust.

    ¡°You have a crush on me? You sent people to chase after me, your love is something special!¡±

    Trantor¡¯s Thoughts: Ah, young love. Nothing says ¡®I want to go out with you¡¯ more than sending elite assassins after your crush, am I right boys and girls?

 Chapter 615 - Bai Li is in a Bad Mood

    <h4>Chapter 615: Bai Li is in a Bad Mood</h4>

    ¡°No, that¡¯s not it! I didn¡¯t!¡± Quong Ting wanted to exin herself. She indeed did not give the order to chase down Qin Feng, instead her target was Bai Li.

    Qin Feng¡¯s rage faltered for a moment as heughed.

    ¡°Right, you didn¡¯t send them after me. I¡¯m guessing that these people¡¯s target was Bai Li?¡±

    Bai Li snorted and said, ¡°Are you stupid? Does that mean you¡¯re looking to die?¡±

    Faelog¡¯s expression twisted into a snarl.

    Obviously, Faelog felt as if he was the stupid one here.

    Quong Ting¡¯s face had turned as white as a sheet by now. It was uncertain if it was due to the blood loss or because she was afraid of Qin Feng.

    When he saw their faces, he understood what was going on and rage boiled within him once again.

    ¡°Lady, there is no way I¡¯d ept you. You absolutely disgust me!¡±

    Quong Ting had a B-tier father, as such she could have everything she had ever wanted. She was easily envious and greedy for pleasure. Even though her father was a powerful man, she still was not satisfied.

    Everything that had happened up till now was all Quong Ting¡¯s fault.

    Qin Feng cast a sweeping nce over the remaining Shi Devils¡¯ members and suddenly said, ¡°The Shi Devils? It¡¯s a powerful force in the Dark Coalition that should not be trifled with. In that case, I¡¯ll be going now!¡±

    He raised his hand and Bai Li immediately followed after him. The two immediately backed off and started to walk away.

    The members of the Shi Devils were stunned. Qin Feng said ¡®shouldn¡¯t be trifled with¡¯? He and his girlfriend could easily take all of them out!

    But he was suddenly calling it quits? What was going on?

    In truth, Qin Feng¡¯s line of thought was very simple. Quong Ting was Quong Po¡¯s daughter, and what did that have to do with himself? He did not want to affect the unusually brilliant results of an A-tier aptitude user, and the events of the day had already been concluded. Quong Ting was saved but it turned out she was a snake, he had decided to not care if she survived or not.

    He would kill people like her eventually, but right now he wanted these people to kill Quong Ting.

    Quong Ting¡¯s two bodyguards gawked at Qin Feng, but he did not care.

    This move had stunned everyone in the area.

    Diran nced over at Quong Ting and thought that this woman was not as useless as he had imagined, perhaps Qin Feng was afraid that she would be injured?

    Obviously, he had misunderstood the situation.

    ¡°Stop! You leave that woman behind, otherwise I¡¯ll kill Quong Po¡¯s daughter!¡± Diran said, feeling as if he had grabbed onto Qin Feng¡¯s leash.

    He had failed twice in a row, Diran could not imagine how Shi would punish him and right now he had to figure out a way to do one thing that could make his boss happy.

    This time, Faelog cursed and said, ¡°Shut it!¡±

    Could he not read the room? It was clear that Qin Feng did not care about the life or death of this woman.

    All of a sudden, a spatial passage cracked open between the two bodyguards.

    Previously, she had been kidnapped and lost her bodyguard at that time, then got herself controlled by others. She had no time to open up a spatial passage, but it was different this time.

    The two bodyguards were only heavily injured, their bodies were riddled with wounds and had metal bars poking out in painful ces but none of that damaged their important organs. They were still able to move.

    As soon as they activated the spatial waymark, a spatial passage appeared and out of that pitch ck void a person stepped out.

    Quong Po!

    ¡°Shi Devils, it¡¯s you lot again!¡± Quong Po immediately saw those gathered in front of him.

    All of the old passions and new hatred suddenly reignited in his heart.

    These people could not even beat Qin Feng and Bai Li in the first ce, now that Quong Po was here they had no chance in winning.

    This was the moment where Quong Ting saw her way out.

    ¡°Dad, save me, save me!¡±

    She screamed. One of her arms had been torn off, and when Quong Po noticed it his vision began to turn red.

    ¡°Bastards, I¡¯ll kill you all!¡±

    In an instant, his internal force erupted and thousands of small ck knives began spinning around him.

    These knives were quicklyunched toward the Shi Devils after being imbued with extremely powerful internal force.

    Diran¡¯s eyes shed with a trace of contempt, thinking that Quong Po must be delusional. He had defeated this man before and the man was still using the same trick.

    ¡°Fall!¡± Diran sent out his consciousness, trying to bring down all the flying knives.

    The moment his consciousness reached the targets, he realized that he could not control these knives at all. His vision was filled with countless knives falling from the sky.

    ¡°Gaaaah!¡±

    Diran let out a pained scream and in the next moment, the knives tasted blood. Diran¡¯s head began to bleed, a two centimeter long cut appeared and soon enough blood began to pour out of many more wounds on his body.

    Pffft!

    The king-level talent of the Shi Devils had been utterly extinguished.

    ng ng ng ng ng!

    The flying knives ttered against metal as the powerful internal force pushed Faelog back. With one swift leap, Quong Po managed to snatch Quong Ting back.

    Overwhelming power!

    ¡°How is this possible?¡± Faelog looked at his surroundings, even Diran had died. All of the C-tiers that were here before were now dead. They came as a group and now he was the lone lieutenant.

    Without even thinking, he turned tail and ran.

    This time a ck crack suddenly appeared within his sights. This crack seemed familiar, it was Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability.

    It was just that he was so distracted thinking about Diran that he did not notice it fast enough.

    The position he was in looked like he had just run into a revolving door of des that sliced through his throat.

    Pfft!

    His body still continued to run, but his head had already dropped to the ground!

    ¡°You think you can run away? I¡¯m not going to lose face over that!¡± Bai Li said coldly. She then quickly scooped up Faelog¡¯s spatial rune equipment.

    Her eyes shifted to Quong Po and Quong Ting with a chilling gaze.

    Quong Po was astonished. He could deter Faelog before, but that was because his opponent did not expect how powerful Quong Po¡¯s throwing knives were!

    However, Bai Li looked even stronger. She killed him with a flick of her hand!

    ¡°Master Quong, I¡¯m in a bad mood. While I¡¯m still in Dusan, I hope you can control your daughter and make sure she doesn¡¯t do anything else that¡¯s stupid or else the next head I¡¯m removing will be hers!¡±

    Bai Li did not bother being polite as she gave Quong Po a direct warning.

    ¡°Wait. What¡¯s going on?¡± Quong Po was surprised,pletely unaware of what had urred.

    Nobody answered him and Quong Ting lowered her head, unable to directly look at her father in the eyes.

    Quong Po immediately turned his attention to the two bodyguards.

    The two carefully nced at Qin Feng. He did not pay them any attention at the moment and was using hismunicator. Although he encountered a bad event on the way, the enemy had been in and he was naturally going to be on his way.

    One of the bodyguards retracted his gaze out of guilt and used internal force to transmit a message directly to Quong Po.

    Quong Po¡¯s face began to pale.

 Chapter 616 - Quong Poâ€™s Apology

    <h4>Chapter 616: Quong Po¡¯s Apology</h4>

    Two hover cars approached them from far. A group of people alighted from the vehicles quickly.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, Ms. Bai, are you two alright?¡±

    ¡°Is the assassin dead?¡±

    ¡°This man is one of the top fighters under the Shi Devils. I believe he is known as Faelog the Metal Madman!¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang was speechless. They were deeply terrified when they were pursued by Faelog earlier.

    Unexpectedly, Bai Li charged out decisively and overpowered Faelog in just a few swipes. They kind of guessed that Faelog was probably dead before they arrived at the scene.

    Regardless, it was still deeply shocking to see Faelog¡¯s lifeless body. After all, Faelog was not a random nobody but a mighty B-tier.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you alright?¡±

    ¡°We are fine. We will stick to the n. Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Everyone walked toward the hover cars.

    At the same time, Quong Po¡¯s expression becameplicated as he gazed at Qin Feng. He then turned his sight on Bai Li.

    After these few days, Quong Po finally grasped how powerful Qin Feng really was. After all, they had exterminated three insectoid nests in three days and brought down a beast emperor in the process. Their achievements were truly admirable.

    Quong Po was especially astounded when Bai Li managed to kill Faelog, a B-tier ability user that was determined to flee!

    Even Quong Po had given up on chasing because he did not believe that his flying knives could prate the assassin¡¯s metal body in time.

    But Bai Li executed the final blow with ease. It did not matter that Faelog was a B-tier ability user.

    Quong Po could hardly hold up a straight face. He said, ¡°Qin Feng, my daughter is at fault this time. Please ept my apology. To prevent her from creating any trouble for you in the future, I will have her sent back to the capital.¡±

    Qin Feng sneered. ¡°Master Quong, if she continues to behave so recklessly, you would eventually be the one who would suffer the dire consequences.¡±

    They already had enough trouble to deal with at the moment. Quong Ting should not be one of them.

    Quong Po sized Qin Feng who stood proudly in front of him. In the future, this young man was destined to be an elect. Even at present, Dusan needed someone like him to gain dominance over the ongoing war.

    Quong Po gritted his teeth and pleaded, ¡°Qin Feng, I am sincerely apologizing to you. Please just tell me what I should do. Is there anything you need? I can get anything for you!¡±

    Qin Feng rejected his plea, ¡°What do I need? What do you think that I need but can¡¯t get with my own hands?¡±

    Quong Po was silenced.

    Qin Feng was right. That was nothing he could not achieve with his current strength and power.

    Qin Feng looked at Quong Ting sharply. He reprimanded, ¡°Speaking of, having a daughter like her is such a nuisance. How dare she put a price on Bai Li¡¯s head through the? I have all the right to kill her based on this crime alone. But since you have pleaded for her, I would spare her life.¡± He released a force from his hand once he had finished talking.

    ¡°Hey!¡± Quong Po was shocked as he thought that Qin Feng was still nning to kill his beloved daughter. He promptly released an internal force shield to try to stop Qin Feng.

    But the internal force shield shattered instantly.

    Qin Feng¡¯s force did not stop and hit Quong Ting¡¯s stomach.

    ¡°Ugh!¡± Quong Ting groaned but did not feel a lot of pain. Nevertheless, her face turned pale rapidly.

    She looked down and did not notice any changes. But she knew that her dantian had been destroyed.

    Instantaneously, her internal force rushed out from her body.

    ¡°Argh! My internal force!¡±

    Quong Ting was not a particrly hardworking aptitude user. Her internal strength was stacked mainly through herbs and pills. However, that did not mean she did not treasure her internal force. Besides, it was not like Qin Feng only emptied her internal force through Asteroid Assimtion.

    He had brutally terminated any chance of Quong Ting bing an aptitude user in the future by wasting her dantian.

    In this world dominated by powerful aptitude users and ability users, Quong Ting had now been downgraded into amoner. She would still lead a decent life, but she would be forever trapped inside a cage. There was no way she could step out into the wild ever again.

    Quong Po¡¯s face grimaced in sorrow. He did not expect Qin Feng to be this cruel.

    His willingness to hire a hundred men to rescue his daughter showed that he cared about her a lot. Qin Feng¡¯s unforgiving gesture stunned him.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are going overboard!¡±

    Qin Feng nced back coldly. He no longer has the slightest respect for this man. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you think.¡± He then waved to the others, ¡°Get into the cars!¡±

    ¡°Yes! Mr. Qin!¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang and the others entered the hover cars quickly. They then disappeared from Quong Po¡¯s sight under the shade of dark ability.

    Quong Po was rooted to the ground. He could not bear to turn around. His mind was still haunted by how Qin Feng had destroyed her daughter¡¯s dantain, along with it her future.

    At this moment, Quong Po was simultaneously furious and fearful.

    ¡°Dad, dad! There¡¯s a way for my internal strength to recover, right? You will think of a way, right? Save me! I don¡¯t want to be crippled for the rest of my life,¡± Quong Ting begged pathetically while wailing.

    Quong Po suddenly felt dested looking at his good-for-nothing daughter. He said regretfully, ¡°You should consider the consequences before your actions, not after. All is toote now. Didn¡¯t you always tell me you like living in the city? I am sending you back to dragon capital now.¡±

    Once she had returned, she probably would not leave the capital for the rest of her life.

    ¡°Dad, please. I don¡¯t want to go back!¡±

    Pop!

    Quong Po knocked Quong Ting out with a swift swipe. ¡°Bring her back.¡±

    From today onward, Quong Po hadpletely given up on her daughter.

    ***

    On the other hand, Qin Feng did not stop his hunt. Owing to their ultra-modern weapon technology, they wasted no time and annihted the fourth nest.

    Along with the few users he had killed earlier, Qin Feng¡¯s physique and consciousness made another leap, and he had reached C6-tier.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, you have... progressed again. How is this even possible. I thought you had just advanced not long ago?¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang had been fighting alongside Qin Feng all this while. It had only been five days since Qin Fengst advanced.

    Qin Feng knew he was indeed proceeding at an unbelievable speed. The insectoids in this Dusan area were too concentrated, which rightly befitted his appetite.

    ¡°My internal strength has actually reached B-tier before this. But since I am a dark ability user, I can conceal my true aura. I also have great parallel training fundamentals, so the power that I usually disy is mostly my physical strength. Recently, I have gained a better understanding of my power through the constant battles. That¡¯s why my progression has also sped up a little,¡± Qin Feng minced up the truth with some smokescreens.

    ¡°I see!¡± Yuan Xiaoguang did not have the faintest idea that Qin Feng was actually bluffing.

    More so, he was enthused by Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    ¡°By the way, does Fengli still need manpower? What do you think about me being your right-hand man?¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang was volunteering himself. He was a little embarrassed about it, to be honest.

    But Qin Feng showed interest. He said, ¡°You have witnessed what I can do. I don¡¯t really need a bodyguard. However, my organization does need a troop leader. Are you interested?¡±

 Chapter 617 - Bai Liâ€™s Breakthrough

    <h4>Chapter 617: Bai Li¡¯s Breakthrough</h4>

    Yuan Xiaoguang was baffled but that was the truth when he thought about it. Judging by Qin Feng¡¯s capability, did he still need bodyguards? What did he need them for? To run at the beast king and beast emperor?

    No! He was totally fine hunting by himself. His power was well beyond everyone¡¯s wildest imagination.

    Qin Feng¡¯s future was extremely bright if he were to live on. He was simply too strong¡ªstronger than anyone Yuan Xiaoguang had ever met before. He would not believe it if he did not witness Qin Feng¡¯s heroism with his own eyes. The teenage ability user was a legend in the making.

    Hence, Yuan Xiaoguang licked his lips and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the pay if you don¡¯t mind me asking?¡±

    Qin Feng offered without hesitation. ¡°Three billion as a monthly sry with a special bonus. I will tell you what the bonus is after you have been hired.¡±

    inly speaking, the bonus was actually the ess to foods and herbs produced by the Fengli colony. For instance, Tear Flower was one of the few rare herbs that could only be found at Fengli since it required unique cultivation by C-tier wood-type ability users.

    Yuan Xiaoguang was stunned after he heard the wage amount. It was almost too good to be true.

    As of now, Yuan Xiaoguang earned only fifty million per day, which umted to one and a half billion if he epted missions every day. Qin Feng had directly doubled his maximum pay!

    Though he faced little danger fighting alongside Qin Feng thesest few days, there was no guarantee he would not encounter a deadly mission next time. Them being ambushed by the Shi Devils also showcased the enormous danger they were being exposed to everyday.

    ¡°Fengli City is a newly established settlement. There isn¡¯t a lot of hunting ground for the time being. Thus, it will be difficult if you want to earn extra ie once you relocate there. Please consider properly before epting my offer. Of course, I am going to recruit more of those who are tired of fighting to be stationed in my city once my parallel fundamentals reach B-tier.¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang could feel that Qin Feng was recruiting him sincerely based on how truthful he was. He did not have any concerns left and epted it whole-heartedly.

    ¡°President Qin, I am willing to serve under you!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded satisfyingly. The remaining five aptitude users looked at Qin Feng and offered themselves too. ¡°Mister Qin, does Feng Li have use for men like us?¡±

    Qin Feng thought about it and said, ¡°The sry for E-tier aptitude users would not be as high. Besides, I believe the reason you guys are here at Dusan is to challenge yourself and change your fate overnight. From the way I see it, it¡¯s still too soon for you all to move to Fengli at this stage.¡±

    They agreed with Qin Feng¡¯s opinion. It was too bad that Qin Feng could not offer them higher pay than Dusan. They would rather stay in the frontline in that case.

    After all, their level was still too low to have Qin Feng¡¯s acknowledgment.

    Nevertheless, they did not dwell too much on the matter. Qin Feng would still stick around Dusan for a while more. They would certainly earn plenty boarding on Qin Feng¡¯s train for now.

    Qin Feng did not ask Yuan Xiaoguang to depart immediately to Fengli City either. The enormous number of monsters he killed in a day would more or less benefit these Dusan soldiers who fought alongside him. It now depended on them whether they could make the leap.

    Another day, another insectoid nest near the second region got bulldozed over. Yuan Xiaoguang and the others had long gotten used to the unreasonable strength of Qin Feng.

    ***

    In the following half month, Qin Feng had destroyed almost all the red zones marked near Dusan Central City.

    At the same time, Xu Qing¡¯s troop had only just settled the nest near the seventh region.

    When they checked the map again, they would be surprised to find that most dangerous zones marked as red or purple had now been downgraded to orange.

    All the aptitude users on a mission returned and regrouped at the central city when night fell.

    On the second floor of the certification hall, a few B-tier aptitude users were resting in the lounge. This included Xu Qing, Quong Po, and several other B-tiers being dispatched here.

    ¡°In the past, each of us would be tasked to clear three nests, which would at least take us two months toplete the cleansing process. I can¡¯t believe we are done in such a short time this year,¡± One of the B-tiermented.

    Xu Qing replied bitterly, ¡°I targeted the seventh region when I first reported here. When we finally cleared the seventh region, I was bewildered to find that all the nests around me have already been taken care of. Mine was actually the only one remaining. I believe it would take an even shorter time to sweep the nest if he were to intervene.¡±

    ¡°He still doesn¡¯t n to stop?¡±

    ¡°Yes. However, the areas beyond have never been scouted before. Nobody has ever broken through the first barrier before Qin Feng.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s too dangerous. But he¡¯s probably the only one who could seed.¡±

    ¡°I think we can now sit back and rx.¡±

    ¡°Yeah. We can leave this ce earlier this year.¡±

    The B-tiers were full of praise when they talked about Qin Feng. They were d to be exempted from taking on the insectoid emperor. Not every aptitude user could kill a beast emperor as effortlessly as Qin Feng, and then gain enormous benefit from doing so.

    Normal aptitude users were wary and nervous about beast hunting, even the B-tiers were. Every mission was a matter of life and death.

    As such, they would rather stay secure in the settlement rather than head into the warzone.

    Only one of the B-tiers was not entirely amazed by Qin Feng. He silently sighed.

    The stronger Qin Feng got, the more defeated Quong Po felt.

    While these B-tiers were resting, Qin Feng and Bai Li decided to go deeper into the Dusan Basin.

    To avoid being seen, Bai Li used her spatial ability to teleport them far inside the basin area.

    No human had ever stepped foot in this area before. There was not any sign of movement here. The beast around this area had been purged by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng sprinkled beast repellent powder around them in preparation for the uing ritual.

    ¡°You may proceed,¡± Qin Feng said.

    The repellent powder was used as a precautionary measure. With Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability, their scents werepletely concealed.

    ¡°Okay. I will begin now,¡± Bai Li said and raised her arm. Silver radiance first appeared, followed by the opening of a spatial rift. Abundant energy came gushing out through the rift.

    This rift was used by Bai Li to store the power cores. She no longer consumed the power cores by chewing and swallowing. The cores were getting bigger and bigger, while Bai Li had been constantly maintaining her human form. It was no longer feasible for her to guzzle the cores as she did in beast form.

    It was equally convenient to extract the energy by cing the cores in a specialized dimension.

    The energy flowed into Bai Li¡¯s body continuously. Bai Li¡¯s aura began to ascend and be hard to contain.

    When Bai Li exerted her true form, an internal force belonged to a C9-tier beast emperor permeated through the air.

    Unknowingly, Bai Li had reached C9-tier, which was faster than Qin Feng.

    They were here now to allow Bai Li to evolve.

    In the city, no matter how powerful Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability was, he could not hide the aura of a B-tier beast emperor.

    It would probably cause panic in the city.

    Here in the Dusan Basin, they were free from surveince. Even if someone sensed the unusual aura, they would mistake it as the evolution of a wild insectoid.

    From the rift, massive energy emanated out continuously. Soon, Bai Li¡¯s umted aura reached a breaking point, and boom!

    She had achieved the breakthrough!

    A B-tier beast emperor was born!

 Chapter 618 - Sinla Clanâ€™s HQ

    <h4>Chapter 618: Si n¡¯s HQ</h4>

    Bai Li¡¯s astounding aura surged all the way up to the stratosphere. Beasts in the surrounding went into unrest sensing the formidable presence. The presence of a B-tier beast emperor was rare, after all.

    Kata-kata!

    Gwuf! Gwuf! Gwuf!

    Suddenly, abrupt footsteps were heard approaching. Amid the noise, Qin Feng could make out human voices.

    He immediately expanded his consciousness and quickly locked on a group of humans. This party was surprisingly strong. It was led by a B-tier with four C-tiers behind him. They were dashing through the forest.

    Though they were being shrouded by Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness, none of them realized it. They even started tomunicate through their consciousness.

    Hence, Qin Feng could distinctly catch what they were talking about.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? I thought we have swept this area clean? Why is there still a B-tier around? Judging by the horrifying aura, it could well be an emperor!¡±

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t feel like an insectoid.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps there¡¯s a new rift?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s hard to tell. If it¡¯s really a B-tier, then only the boss can deal with it.¡±

    ¡°F*ck! We have just set up this camp half a month ago and now it¡¯s time to move again. This is so frustrating. Hopefully, this is a one-time urrence.¡±

    These people then furtherined about how bad the current campsite was, and also mentioned the death of Diran and others.

    Qin Feng naturally knew who they were by now.

    Members of the Shi Devils.

    Qin Feng had heard about the Shi Devils in his past life. In that life, the Shi Devils got their hands on an herb like Tear Flower that could repel insectoids. This allowed them to set up their HQ in the middle of the Dusan Basin despite being densely crowded by insectoids. They then became awless trade center connecting Huaxia and Dusan.

    But they had yet to reach that scale. Qin Feng reckoned it would at least take another five to six years from now.

    In other words, the Shi Devils were just at their fetal stage now.

    Nevertheless, they were still a threat being led by an A-tier aptitude user.

    ¡®It¡¯s them! What a coincidence!¡¯ Qin Feng continued to lock his consciousness on them while concealing his and Bai Li¡¯s presence. Their internal forces slowly faded away.

    The troop from the Shi Devils had sensed it too. Despite the sudden disappearance of the emperor¡¯s aura, they still approached the area cautiously and did a round check anyway. They did not find anything out of the ordinary.

    ¡°It¡¯s probably gone!¡± The B-tier aptitude user spoke.

    The others were relieved.

    ¡°Do we need to stay here and observe?¡±

    ¡°No need to waste time here. Let¡¯s head back.¡±

    ¡°Okay. Let¡¯s have a drink once we are back.¡±

    Though it came to nothing, they rather have this than seeing a beast emperor.

    They had no idea they were being trailed by two persons¡ªor a person and a beast emperor to be exact.

    ¡®There will probably be a lot of loot once I exterminate the Shi Devils.¡¯ Qin Feng was already plotting in his mind on how to obliterate the n.

    Qin Feng looked at Bai Li. ¡°Do you think you can deal with their boss?¡±

    ¡°Depends. I am at B-tier now so probably I am good enough against an A-tier human.¡±

    Unless the opponent was a pinnacle prodigy. However, such talent was very umon. Diran probably came close but he, too, had sumbed to Qin Feng¡¯s supremacy and met his end.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°You will be fine. Shi is an A-tier ancient warrior. He has a massive internal force and mastered an evil art, which grants him super strength. However, when ites to fighting, he is probably not a very difficult opponent.¡±

    His tier alone was sufficient to fend off a lot of users. No one in Dusan had the time and courage to challenge an A-tier out of the blue.

    Qin Feng happened to have both.

    ¡°We have killed a lot of insectoids already. An opportunity is going to present itself soon in this area. After that, we will leave this ce for good. There¡¯s no better time to wipe the Shi Devils than now.¡±

    ¡°I am fine with anything. Just tell me what to do.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng had made up his mind. He and Bai Li continued to follow the group in the dark.

    The five men were actually solid aptitude users. But they did not realize that they were being followed at all. Soon, they had exited the dangerous zone.

    The ce was surrounded by a lot of trees. This geographical area was not marked in the map provided by Dusan Central City.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were fortunate that they did not step on anything. Camouged by the darkness, thend they had dashed through was actually a swamp covered by severalyers of wilted leaves. A lot of weird insectoids lived underneath it, while flocks after flocks of giant mosquitos lingered above the swamp surface.

    The people from the Shi Devils seemed to have passed through this ce countless times. They were familiar with the terrain and probably carried the herbs that repel insectoids. Thus, they could pass through quickly without much hindrance.

    They reached a solid ground not long after. The tall trees, firm ground, wooden wall, and sentry tower was telling enough that this was a small stronghold.

    Qin Feng no longer followed the few guys. He maintained the dark ability around them and went past the sentinels unnoticed.

    Once he was inside the stronghold, Qin Feng carefully spread out his consciousness without drawing any attention. He surveyed the entire ce thoroughly.

    He took a deep breath after he had finished looking.

    The entire camp had a total of more than three hundred C-tier aptitude users and seven B-tiers. There¡¯s a three-story wooden house that Qin Feng purposely avoided. His instinct told him this had to be Shi¡¯s residence.

    He did not know he woulde across Shi¡¯s HQ by ident.

    Other than members of the Shi Devils, Qin Feng also found a lot of ves living in this stronghold. They were being harassed and ved as the members pleased.

    During the night, the men were venting their excess energy on the girls. Dreadful screams could be heard all around the camp.

    In such a dark and sickening ce, Qin Feng furrowed his brows in disgust.

    ¡°Come here!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness quickly locked on a B-tier aptitude user.

    He was an ancient warrior with moderate ability. His wooden house looked better than the rest too. He was raping a girl and was entirely immersed. He did not notice a silhouette that had just entered his room through the opened window.

    The man finally noticed hispany when silver radiance popped up in his room. However, the surroundings had already turned pitch ck.

    ¡°Spatial Quarantine!¡±

    This was Bai Li¡¯s ability. Right now, the house had been transferred into a parallel dimension. It was now a secluded dimension and any battle in here would not be sensed by outsiders.

    Qin Feng was already standing behind the man as he raised his hand furiously.

    ¡°Dragon p!¡±

 Chapter 619 - A-Tier Ancient Warrior Shinla

    <h4>Chapter 619: A-Tier Ancient Warrior Shi</h4>

    The B-tier aptitude user roared as the golden hand mmed down. He rolled away to evade the attack. The two girls on his bed were not so lucky. They were smashed into meat paste by Qin Feng¡¯s merciless attack. Not only that but the bed was reduced to wood dust.

    ¡°Who are you?¡±

    The aptitude user still knew shame and covered his waist with a nket. He red angrily at Qin Feng and Bai Li. He was stunned when he had a clearer look at Bai Li.

    ¡°Humph!¡± Qin Feng snorted and said, ¡°The one who will kill you.¡±

    Qin Feng had been through a lot of challenges and was no longer the man who needed to try hard to kill Guang Wei in the past. His power had grown exponentially. Killing a B-tier was not a difficult task to him now.

    The aptitude user knew there would be no way out of this other than a battle to the death. He promptly set up his internal force shield.

    But almost immediately, the shield was shattered by Qin Feng¡¯s punch.

    Bam!

    Qin Feng¡¯s fistnded right on the man¡¯s shoulder.

    Crack!

    His vicle broke upon impact.

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    Qin Fengnded punch after punch. The B-tier aptitude user was unable to counter.

    Though the aptitude user was not as strong as Qin Feng, he still had a considerable amount of self-defense. Qin Feng was unable to finish him off in a single strike.

    Nheless, he eventually crumbled under the continuous attacks.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng ced his palm on the man¡¯s stomach. His internal force was instantly emptied by Qin Feng. The B-tier aptitude user¡¯s body began to twitch. Blood was seen gushing out from his mouth.

    After he was done with his internal force, Qin Feng put his hand on the opponent¡¯s neck and snapped it.

    ¡°Ugh...¡±

    His life was taken away instantly. The B-tier aptitude user died agonizingly.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and released fire to burn the aptitude user¡¯s corpse. Several pieces of spatial rune equipment dropped from his neck were collected into Qin Feng¡¯s pocket.

    Bai Li dismissed the quarantine once the corpse had finished burning. The outside world had no idea that a battle had just erupted here, nor did they know that a B-tier aptitude user had just been killed.

    ¡°Next one,¡± Qin Feng said coldly.

    Both of them disappeared into the darkness and continued to hunt.

    ***

    It was twelve midnight an hour after that. In such a dangerous world, people would normally stay indoors and rest during nightfall.

    However, as the chief of this n, he had every right to have people stay awake to attend to hismand 24/7.

    Inside the underground basement of his house, a youngdy was lying on a crimson bed. Her whole body was bruised and blood could be seen seeping out from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were rounded lifelessly. Both her legs and arms were bent unnaturally.

    She was dead¡ªmutted to death.

    Shi stood up and put on his sleeping robe. He walked toward the stairs.

    ¡°Boring~ What a fragile toy!¡±

    The young girl had just reached E-tier. She would have been regarded as a hopeful talent in some small colonies. However, she was degraded into a ything in Shi¡¯s hand. She suffered tremendously before ultimately dying in pain.

    No matter how strong a female might be, none had lived in Shi¡¯s hands for more than seven days.

    Recently, Shi¡¯s sadistic desire was getting out of control. He had tortured and killed seven teenagers in ten days.

    Shi contemted for a while and called a B-tier aptitude user.

    ¡®I will not rest well if we don¡¯t catch the beauty. How dare a C-tiery his hands on my man and get away with it? Do I need to do this myself?¡¯

    Shi squinted. He was talking about Qin Feng and Bai Li. Of course, he would not just sit and wait after Qin Feng had killed Diran and Faelog. He had his underling check on Qin Feng and learned about his background.

    First ce in the Prodigy Tournament, the governor of North Region North Sea State.

    Shi had to be careful when dealing with a person of such prestige. He might rm A-tiers in Dusan if he were to recklessly ambush Qin Feng and let him get away.

    That was why he did not make a move in the past ten days.

    At his position, he had been used to getting whatever he wanted. This sudden blip had greatly affected his mood. Consequently, he could only vent his frustration on the ves.

    That was why a lot of girls were killed in his hands in the past week.

    He made the call to have his subordinate check on Qin Feng¡¯s whereabouts after that.

    After it rang five times, nobody was on the phone. Shi¡¯s face twitched in disgust.

    ¡®Which b*tch is he hounding on?¡¯

    He made another call to another B-tier. Again, there was no answer.

    ¡®The hell?¡¯

    He chose to call the third person. It did not even go through this time.

    Three times a ¡°charm¡±. Shi realized something was up.

    He was an ancient warrior so he could not sense danger preemptively. But he could still perform some basic probing with his consciousness. He immediately unleashed his internal force to his surroundings and found out that one of the wooden vis slightly far away from his ce was now empty.

    ¡®That¡¯s weird¡¯

    Shi felt terrified for the first time ever since he had ascended to A-tier.

    ¡®How could a B-tier disappear just like that?¡¯

    Swish!

    Shi jumped out and dashed quickly toward the vi. He saw the destroyed room.

    He instantly knew who the enemies were.

    ¡°Ambush!¡± Shi bellowed infuriatingly. He infused his voice with internal strength and his thunderous roar jolted the entire stronghold.

    Immediately, numerous men were woken up from their sleep.

    At the same time, Shi did not stop looking. Soon, he found something in the vi near him. There was a room in there that he could not peek into no matter how hard he tried.

    ¡®Consciousness shield?¡¯

    Shi was shocked. He dashed toward it and tried to break into the room directly through the windows. His fists banged on the ss and shattered it. However, the room was still barricaded by ayer of silver radiance.

    Bam!

    Shi¡¯s hand was numbed by the impact. He could not destroy the silver shield.

    ¡®Spatial rune? Secret dimension?¡¯

    Shi immediately recognized what the silver wall was.

    Inside the enclosed dimension, Bai Li had also sensed the arrival of a powerful foe.

 Chapter 620 - Versus Shinla

    <h4>Chapter 620: Versus Shi</h4>

    The impact of Shi¡¯s attack could be felt inside the dimension.

    ¡°We have been exposed!¡± Bai Li warned, ¡°It¡¯s probably Shi.¡±

    The aptitude user who was wasted inside the room regained his desire to live when he heard the name.

    ¡°I will ask my boss to let you two live if you stop now. Otherwise, you would rather die than live in front of my boss,¡± The aptitude user bellowed desperately.

    ¡°Who gave you permission to talk?¡± Qin Feng pped his chest with his palm. More blood spitted out from the aptitude user¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°Since we have been exposed, remove the quarantine altogether. Stall Shi, I will be there soon!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Bai Li smiled confidently and said, ¡°You would not be needed. I can kill him by myself!¡± She was not boasting. After all, Bai Li was already a B-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°Retract!¡± Bai Li removed the spatial runes. The darkness around them promptly vanished and the room returned to its original state, except that one of the walls had been demolished.

    It was apparently Shi¡¯s doings.

    The aptitude user was spirited and rushed out frantically.

    ¡°Chief, save me!¡±

    He had been defending well throughout and Qin Feng had yet to find an opening tond the finishing blow.

    Seeing that now he had given up on defense willingly and exposed himself, Qin Feng did not waste the opportunity and drew his Verdant Emperor Saber without much hesitation.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    A fuchsia me burst into life and swung across the air like a ribbon. It instantly pierced through the fleeing aptitude user. Not only that but those standing outside, including Shi, were being forced back by the formidable power.

    Buzz!

    The heatwave of the zing Sky collided with Shi¡¯s internal force shield and generated a buzzing sound. Smoke could be seen rising from Shi¡¯s armor under the extreme heat.

    But the armor remained unscathed after the fire died down. The area that was slightly thinned by the attack had been restored by Shi using internal strength.

    This was probably the first time someone could withstand zing Sky.

    Qin Feng walked out from the big hole on the bedroom wall. Outside, Shi was tiptoeing on the front tip of a giant tree¡¯s branch. He watched coldly as his B-tier subordinate freefell to the ground from the room.

    He had lost an underling.

    An A-tier could not afford to lose too many subordinates. Every single B-tier was treasured.

    But now he had to watch one get killed in front of his very own eyes.

    That was not all. He thought about the empty vi and destroyed room. Apparently, Qin Feng had killed more than one B-tier.

    ¡°You two!¡± Shi stared at Qin Feng and Bai Li. His hunch was right. ¡°Well, well! Who would have thought!¡±

    Shi was near his boiling point. Based on his powers, he was the one who was supposed to capture Bai Li and kill Qin Feng by now, not the other way around.

    The current situation had gone far beyond his control. The reputation and forces he had gathered all these years were on the brink of demolition at this moment.

    The only thing Shi wanted now was to kill them both.

    With a slight push, Shi lunged forward and dived at them quickly.

    Qin Feng gripped his Verdant Emperor Saber tightly. This was the first time facing an A-tier after he was reborn. A battle rarely urred between A-tiers even in his past life.

    At this tier, the disparity was usually very thin. A battle between two A-tiers would not benefit anyone. Nobody wished to see their hard-earned power evaporate in a meaningless battle.

    The more you own, the more you fear losing.

    But Qin Feng had no fear. His fearlessness did not stem from his confidence in himself but in Bai Li.

    With Bai Li on his side, Qin Feng could go anywhere at any time. He could escape from any kind of enemy, be it beast or human.

    Of course, a maniac like Z was an exception. But how many Zs could there be on this earth?

    Thus, Qin Feng¡¯s confidence was sky-high.

    As Shi got closer, Qin Feng swung the saber in his hand.

    Massive internal strength was being infused into the saber, erging the saber by almost ten times its original size.

    Shi wanted to end the fight in one strike too. He took out his own weapon¡ªa huge machete. The heavy machete looked intimidating.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    ¡°Huff!¡±

    The machete came straight down carrying great force.

    ¡°Yeah, die now!¡± Qin Feng roared back. He took a step forward, stabled himself, and braced for the blow.

    Boom!

    The second floor of the vipletely copsed. Qin Feng had jumped up and met Shi in midair.

    nk!

    The two sabers collided as if two cyclones hade together.

    The impact of the crash rippled off and shattered the vegetation around them.

    Shi roared and hacked down again. Suddenly, a daunting dark light appeared. The force seemed to be able to cut through everything.

    Qin Feng could not evade. Not that he nned to.

    ¡°zing Sky.¡±

    His fuchsia ze came alive once again.

    The two forces collided and lit up a series of explosions.

    Everything happened within seconds. After the two skills, they descended to thend together and collided again as soon as they both touched the ground.

    Boom!

    nk! nk!

    Both of their internal forces were being exhausted rapidly. However, neither Qin Feng¡¯s nor Shi¡¯s internal force shield was broken.

    ¡®Just as I thought. My current power is still insufficient to kill an A-tier.¡¯

    He did fight evenly with the A-tier but his internal force was being dissipated at an unprecedented rate.

    Though he had 99 pools of internal strength, and the sum of internal forces was nine times greater than that of an A-tier, the way an A-tier and B-tier used internal forces were ultimately different.

    Moreover, the weapon in Shi¡¯s hand was rather formidable too. The Verdant Emperor Saber lost to it in terms of physical force.

    Qin Feng gradually lost his ground as the fight dragged on.

    ¡°Scram, brat!¡±

    Shi swung his machete and forcefully sent Qin Feng flying backward.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shield finally broke.

    ¡°Die now!¡±

    The murderous look on Shi¡¯s face was petrifying. He lunged forward and hacked his machete vertically. He wanted to cut Qin Feng in half.

    Qin Feng managed to reconstruct his internal force shield at thest moment.

    Bam!

    The machete hit on the shield and Qin Feng was once again sent flying.

    The vi near them had long been reduced into a ruin. Themotion inevitably startled other aptitude users. As they gathered up, only three B-tier users showed themselves. The rest of the B-tiers had been put down by Qin Feng.

    ¡°What happened? Who are these two rats?¡±

    ¡°Wait, thedy looks familiar! Oh! Oh! She is the one our boss wanted!¡±

    ¡°F*ck! Why are they here? Are they brave or stupid? They are so dead now with our boss fighting at full force.¡±

    ¡°Kill him! Kill him!¡±

    The members of the Shi Devils chanted enthusiastically while watching the battle.

    Qin Feng was once again sent flying by Shi¡¯s attack. Blood began to drip out from the corner of his mouth.

    ¡°Alright, my turn. He was mine from the beginning!¡± Bai Li stood in front of Qin Feng andshed out her Spatial Whip.

 Chapter 621 - Annihilating the Shinla Devils

    <h4>Chapter 621: Annihting the Shi Devils</h4>

    All of a sudden, Bai Li appeared in front of Qin Feng, and it had definitely caught Shi off guard.

    Then, an array of horrifying spatial energy exploded instantly, and the surrounding spaces around Shi had copsedpletely.

    Dark spatial energy had instantly pierced into Shi¡¯s internal strength shield.

    ¡°What is this?¡±

    It was Shi¡¯s first encounter with such an attack, he shouted instinctively, and soon, he realized that those were the attributes of the runes.

    ¡°Space, these are spatial runes, it was you!¡±

    The mysterious scene that was encountered by Shi earlier was surprisingly created by Bai Li who seemed to be just an insignificant aid!

    Shi looked at the woman that he had been longing for, however, the presence of a horrifying aura was lingering around her.

    Unfortunately, her actual capability seemed to be well hidden.

    As for the C-tier aptitude user badge that was on Bai Li¡¯s chest, it waspletely a hoax. Shi had obviously realized that the defensive power that was used by his opponent to block his attack was totally unachievable by a C-tier aptitude user.

    Bai Li answered, ¡°Is everyone at the campsite ready to die today?¡±

    The question was actually directed to Qin Feng!

    ¡°Why would you ask that?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°If so, I would not need to hold myself back!¡± Bai Li answered, with her current capabilities, she definitely had the confidence to annihte the entire small-sized campsite.

    Qin Feng chuckled as he swept his conscious energy across the entire campsite, perhaps there were still the presence of prisoners, but they were the minorities. Furthermore, they did not seem to be members from the Huaxia Alliance.

    Qin Feng decided to not be merciful, the more powerful he became, the more decisive he would be on those small sacrifices that he had to make.

    ¡°Go for it!¡±

    Qin Feng was also curious to witness Bai Li¡¯s full potential when she had the chance to go all out!

    Bai Li nodded, and in the next moment, her conscious energy extended infinitely. Then, the pitch-ck night sky was aglow with an array of abrupt silver shes.

    The silver lights streaked across thirty meters in length before stretching out and expanding, it was like a veil that was above their heads. The vige hill was originally a square area, with Bai Li as the centre point, the lights expanded to the edge of the hill area and descended vertically.

    ¡°Seal!¡±

    Bai Limanded, then, the entire campsite was suddenly quarantined by Bai Li.

    It was like the little room that was quarantined, however, the quarantine was now covering an entire area.

    It was at that moment where Shi was caught off-guard.

    Shi was surprised that the seal had covered the entire space.

    ¡°Spatial ability user?¡± Shi became highly alert of his surroundings and carefully assessed the situation.

    It was an uncertain situation, and the unknown would often be associated with fear.

    Meanwhile, as soon as Bai Li had quarantined the area in all directions, it allowed her to dominate the area.

    Meaning to say, the Spatial Quarantine was simr to Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Wall, but the Spatial Quarantine had greater coverage area.

    After all, Bai Li was already a B-tier!

    ¡°Copse!¡±

    Bai Limanded again as she pointed toward Shi.

    Shi was struck by an abrupt cold chill down the spine, without any hesitation, his qinggong skills burst forth and he was able to quickly dodge to another spot.

    Visible by the eyes, silver light was glowing on the initial spot where Shi was at, and it had covered an area of about tens of meters. Followed by the appearance of countless numbers of dark rifts, the same spot seemed to be struck by an inward copse.

    Then, trees, grasnd, and walls outside of the vis had all disappeared, and they were all sent to another unknown space.

    Shi felt instant relief that he was able to dodge that.

    However, Bai Li did not stop her attacks.

    She pointed her finger in a far off direction, and an unidentified number of spaces began to copse and then reversed back to its original form.

    Meanwhile, every spot that was attacked had been emptied, nothing was left behind!

    Shi seeded with several dodges, and as he stared at Bai Li, he was no longer drooling with desire, but filled with restraining fear.

    Shi was consumed by his urge to kill.

    If such a girl was untameable, the only way left was to kill!

    ¡°Don¡¯t you underestimate me, after all, I am also an A-tier! Even with your bizarre moves, your capability would not exceed B-tier, and I will kill you!¡±

    Shi let out an enraged roar and stopped holding back, all of his internal strength was released in an explosion.

    Horrifying torrential waves of internal strength gushed up to the sky while sweeping Shi along, and it was aiming to kill Bai Li.

    ¡°Sky Cleave!¡±

    The machete on hand was shrouded with an infinite amount of internal strength.

    Boom!

    Internal strength exploded and echoed.

    Bai Li raised her hand, a pitch-ck space appeared before her, and the internal strength of the machete was instantly drained out.

    Then, Bai Li¡¯s explosive energy was absolutely unrestrained.

    ¡°You shall disappear!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s surrounding was instantly struck by explosions, even the vi earlier was wrecked into ruins!

    It forced Shi to fall back.

    The battle in between the both of them had intensified once again.

    Meanwhile, the entire campsite was awakened from their sleep. They were aware of the changes in the surroundings, and they had clearly noticed the appearance of the horrifying enemies.

    ¡°Run, quickly!¡±

    Everyone was afraid of being the unfortunate ones affected by the battle, they began to run out, however, they realized that the barriers that were raised up along the borders were stopping them from moving forward.

    Qin Feng looked at them, despite knowing that the Spatial Quarantine created by Bai Li was extremely robust, however, repelling energy from external attacks would still add up to Bai Li¡¯s burden.

    Hence, Qin Feng would not allow such a scene to take ce any longer.

    ¡°It has been a while since I had such a cold-blooded massacre!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s thirst for kills and blood was glowing in his eyes.

    Then, conscious energy exploded in the same way as Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Wall began to spread across the grounds.

    Bricks on the ground began to soften and heat up, they were then turned into fiery red color!

    Trees were lit up by mes and the vis began to sink gradually as melted magma flooded the area.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    ¡°Help, help!¡±

    ¡°No, no!¡±

    Cries from the people echoed around as aptitude users wished they could escape up to the sky or hide underneath the ground. However, the entire space was restricted to below thirty meters in height, Qin Feng¡¯s fire dragon and magma could easily drown all of them.

    The base camp of the Shi Devils had been turned into hell!

    Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Wall was already capable of extending up to six hundred meters away,pared to his initial learning stage, the coverage had been doubled. Whenbined with Bai Li¡¯s spatial wall, it was a total massacre for everyone else, and none of them could escape from such a restricted space.

    ¡°We need everyone to retaliate, kill him, and we will be free!¡±

    ¡°Ah ah ah ah! Attack!¡±

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    Those that were enraged in roars were merely C-tiers, there were two B-tiers that were reluctant to make their moves as they knew of Qin Feng¡¯s identity.

    However, hesitation had led them toward their defeat, and they were still unable to reverse the reality of their death.

    Within the blink of an eye, all of them were drowned by the mes.

    Except for Shi, the entire Shi Devils group was annihted!

    Meanwhile, Shi was also heavily wounded, and as he gazed upon the campsite, it had already been transformed into a sea of melted magma. All the vis, greeneries, and everything else had disappeared.

    As for himself, he was still unable to escape from Bai Li¡¯s restriction, he had even secretly used a spatial waymark to no avail.

    ¡°If this is how it will be, then we shall all die together!¡± Shi let out an enraged roar.

 Chapter 622 - Dantian Self-Destruction

    <h4>Chapter 622: Dantian Self-Destruction</h4>

    Throughout the battle thatsted for hours, Qin Feng had ughtered everyone else, and the oue from the battle between Shi and Bai Li was already well-pronounced.

    After all, Bai Li was a beast emperor!

    Shi was stillcking a little on his capability. However, he was neither aware of Bai Li¡¯s powerful strength, nor of her identity, all he knew was that he had lost!

    Unexpectedly, a highly esteemed A-tier aptitude user had lost!

    It was at that moment, Shi was consumed by his vexations, anger, and despair.

    Since death was unavoidable, let all die together!

    However, as Shi was unable to get close to Bai Li, he redirected his aim and sprinted toward Qin Feng with his qinggong skills.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield intensified, and in order to withstand Shi¡¯s attack, his Verdant Emperor Saber exploded and released an array of horrifying and intimidating sword re.

    But Shi did not dodge and forced himself to take on the sword re from Qin Feng, as he got closer and was only ten meters away from Qin Feng, a loud and deafening explosion echoed from within his body.

    Boom!

    It was like something horrifying had exploded!

    It was Shi¡¯s dantian!

    ¡°No, self-destructing dantian!¡±

    Qin Feng was instantly struck by the idea. Meanwhile, his entire conscious energy was raised to a new height, and it was like the surroundings had slowed down altogether. The moment that was caught within Qin Feng vision was Shi that was sprinting over, with his abdomen that was self-destructing, a mixture of pale-white intestines and fresh blood was seen.

    The horrifying energy had then crushed onto every part of Shi¡¯s body, including every part of his bones, and every drop of his blood.

    The entire scene was slowed down and prolonged, as if he was seeing an elliptical energy body that had expanded infinitely.

    It was bing bigger and stronger!

    The energy body hadbined with Shi¡¯s vapourized blood, and it was sted toward Qin Feng, colliding onto his internal strength shield.

    Instantly, Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield was about to be overpowered by the st, and it was beginning to copse!

    ¡°Hold on!¡±

    Qin Feng roared as the internal strength from his dantian was activated.

    Ny-nine pools of internal strength were instantly drained out, gushing into Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield, thickening and solidifying it.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s body was still being forced and pushed back by the intense energy.

    Meanwhile, Magma Pirs, the fire dragon, and fire birds that were in the air were swept by the overwhelming energy and crushed into pieces like withered branches!

    Bai Li was also instantly bulldozed and tossed away, while Qin Feng was also being pressured and forced further away.

    ¡°Ah ah ah!¡±

    Qin Feng went berserk with his defence against the attack, pools of internal strength within his dantian were draining fast, the mighty output energy from Shi¡¯s self-destruction was stronger than his own capability by tenfold!

    The one-off exploding energy came with a huge price to pay, and its output was also overwhelming.

    Dong!

    Fresh blood dripped from the edges of Qin Feng¡¯s mouth as he had mmed onto Bai Li¡¯s Spatial Quarantine.

    The unbelievable amount of energy had instantly pushed Qin Feng to hundreds of meters away.

    Crack!

    A cracked opening was formed on the Spatial Quarantine, followed by an instant copse of the restrictive barrier, and the ravaging energy continued to spread across the area.

    Countless giant trees were swept away, insectoid nests were shaken; the calm and peaceful Dusan Basin was struck by chaotic havoc.

    Qin Feng was tossed away again for tens of meters, and his horrifying amount of internal strength reserve was also instantly drained out.

    ¡°Ugh!¡±

    Qin Feng threw up fresh blood as unbearable pain was felt throughout his entire body.

    Qin Feng was fortunate enough to have his sturdy physique to withstand the attack, or else, fresh blood would not be the only thing that he was spitting out!

    The horrifying energy st was finally over.

    ¡°Bai Li, Bai Li!¡±

    Qin Feng stood up to look for Bai Li¡¯s presence, he extended his conscious energy into the forest, and soon, he sensed Bai Li who could barely stand up by herself.

    ¡°How are you? Are you okay?¡± Qin Feng checked on Bai Li¡¯s injuries and noticed that her clothes were partly torn, but there were no serious injuries on her body. However, due to Bai Li¡¯s shapeshifting transformation, Qin Feng was not assured that Bai Li was genuinely unwounded.

    ¡°I am fine, what about you? I am sorry, I did not protect you well!¡± Bai Li immediately apologized, and she was feeling guilty.

    Qin Feng was relieved to see that Bai Li was not heavily injured, she only looked a little battered and exhausted, he then caressed her head.

    ¡°Stop ming yourself, don¡¯t you know that I can protect myself?¡±

    Bai Li pouted as she felt bad and med herself.

    ¡°We both agreed that I should be the one going against Shi, such an unreliable person, how could he just attack you?!¡±

    Qin Feng forced hisugh.

    ¡°Alright, you are an obedient child, and you are going against bad people, they would not be respectful to us!¡± When ites to the battle of life or death, who would still be respectful to their enemies?

    Bai Li was still behaving like a little child!

    Qin Feng caressed her hair while embracing her to calm her down, only then did Bai Li feel a little better.

    Meanwhile, the chaotic scene in the forest had escted, Qin Feng looked around and felt bad. If the ce were to be visited by anyone else, none would believe that there was formerly an established campsite!

    Hundreds of meters away from Qin Feng, at the spot where Shi¡¯s dantian had self-destructed, an unexpected elliptical pit was formed, and Qin Feng¡¯s fire runes were already erased by the overwhelming energy.

    There was even water flow emerging from the bottom of the pit. Obviously it had even reached the depths of underground water, and within days, it would turn into ake.

    However, it was great news for Qin Feng!

    The chances were that nobody would know that he had annihted the entire Shi Devils group, and nobody would recognize him as a heroic C-tier aptitude user that had killed an A-tier!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go! We should return quickly; the sky is about to turn bright!¡±

    Qin Feng looked toward the marble-white sky, surprisingly, it was already seven in the morning.

    The battle hadsted for almost the entire night, with their light injuries and the chaotic scene at the Dusan Basin, it was definitely not a wise choice for Qin Feng and Bai Li to remain there!

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go!¡±

    Bai Li brought Qin Feng along as they teleported away from their location.

    Three hundred meters away from the location that they were at, a shadow of a person appeared and walked out from the shadow of a tree. A mixed expression was seen on that person¡¯s face as he looked in the direction where both Bai Li and Qin Feng disappeared from.

    If Qin Feng were there, he definitely would have recognized that person, surprisingly, it was Quong Po!

    Since the night before, Bai Li was at the Dusan Basin and she had advanced to B-tier. As the chaotic scene was captured by the machines, B-tier aptitude users that were staying at the upper floor of the aptitude user lobby were all awakened, even A-tiers that were hidden had also appeared to get information about the situation.

    Different from Xu Qing and the other B-tier support forces that were sent forward, Quong Po had been stationed at the Dusan Basin for more than ten years, and it was a ce that he had fought to defend. Hence, nobody could stop him from entering the scene himself to find out about the situation.

    Ancient warriors were well known for their usage of concealed weaponries and other bizarre ancient battle skills, and his presence-concealing, and target-tracing skills had allowed Quong Po to track down the location of the scene. He was able to find the Spatial Quarantine that was created by Bai Li.

    Quong Po was definitely shocked by it, and he thought that it was the establishment of some secret territory so he decided to stay put and remain at a far distance to observe.

    Unexpectedly, he ended up witnessing such a scene..

 Chapter 623 - Completion of Support Mission

    <h4>Chapter 623: Completion of Support Mission</h4>

    Even the conversation between Qin Feng and Bai Li earlier was clearly heard.

    Now, Quong Po began to doubt his own ears.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li had just discussed how they have killed Shi together?

    It was a name that would never be mistaken by him!

    It was the nightmare of the Dusan Basin, the name of a powerful A-tier that held the most powerful dark influence.

    ¡°Regardless, a follow up investigation on it would definitely reveal the truth!¡±

    As Quong Po told himself, he swept his vision across the gigantic and deep pit, he then turned around and left!

    Qin Feng did not notice Quong Po¡¯s presence.

    When he was sweeping his conscious energy across the area, he was only focusing on Bai Li¡¯s location and the area beyond it.

    Furthermore, in the future, Quong Po would be one of the powerful A-tiers that had his own mighty skills. As Qin Feng was injured and worried about Bai Li, it was understandable for him to miss out on some of the other details.

    After Bai Li and Qin Feng left to return to the Dusan Central City, Quong Po ventured through the wilderness and countless numbers of insectoids on his return to the Central City. By the time he arrived, the sky was bright and it was already noon, needless to say he was exhausted.

    Xu Qing saw his return and immediately asked, ¡°What is happening to the high-risk region? Qin Feng had been clearing off the regions around the Central City for the past few days, and those insectoids have been greatly restrained, today, the drones have captured the migration of the insectoids!¡±

    It was definitely a butterfly effect triggered by the horrifying energy around the area that had created such a turbulence, and Quong Po knew that the giant pit was the proof of it.

    Insectoids around the area were shocked and began to spread out and migrate, they were like ovepping waves that continuously transmit and amplify their influence to the nextyer. Hence, insectoids at the outeryer were also troubled by the chaotic scene.

    Quong Po heard Xu Qing and was instantly struck by a question in mind as he said, ¡°Has Qin Feng decided on his hunt today?¡±

    It was already a daily norm for Qin Feng to do insectoid hunting and submit his mission the next morning, and every appearance of his would be associated with risk reduction of a certain location.

    They were even some that would purposely wait for Qin Feng¡¯s mission submission before their departure, and they would focus on those locations that Qin Feng had gone to in search of insectoid corpses that were missed out by Qin Feng¡¯s people, or perhaps it might even be a better ce for them to continue hunting.

    Qin Feng would be the one to enjoy the main dish and the other followers would benefit from the leftovers. Hence, they would follow Qin Feng with great reverence.

    Xu Qing heard the question and answered, ¡°Indeed, Qin Feng is absent today, I asked about it earlier, he is nning to rest for a day and not go out!¡±

    Quong Po seemed to be more puzzled, but he was more affirmed with his own presumption.

    ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s right, we all deserve rest time, let¡¯s give in extra effort for our clean up today, winter season is about to end, let¡¯s seize this opportunity and the Central City might have more survivors this year!¡±

    Quong Po answered, and he seemed to be favouring Qin Feng in his cover up speech.

    It was obvious that Qin Feng did not want others to know about what he had done.

    However, Quong Po understood what was going on.

    At that point in time, Quong Po had already deemed Qin Feng as an extremely horrifying figure!

    A C-tier going against an A-tier? Such a scene would not even appear in myths.

    Quong Po guessed that Qin Feng had hidden his true capability.

    Regardless of whether Qin Feng was looking to reveal himself as the one who killed Shi and redeem the glorious fame, or that he was looking to hide his achievement and keep it as a secret, Quong Po was not supposed to reveal it either.

    He kept his silence.

    ***

    It was a full day¡¯s rest for Qin Feng before he returned and joined the great siege army, and nobody else noticed anything unusual from him.

    Moreover, the purplebel on the map that indicated an extremely risky region was gradually changing. The greater the number associated with the region, the riskier the region would be. Some might even consist of several establishments of insectoid nests that required continuous clean up, it would then lead to moreplicated situations.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s pace of hunting had sped up the disappearance of the threats.

    As time flew by, Qin Feng had already spent a month at Dusan!

    It was another morning at the aptitude user lobby.

    ¡°Ding dong! Battlefield updates for the twenty-first region!¡±

    ¡°Sessful C-tier insectoid nest siege: sieged by: C-tier aptitude user¡ªQin Feng¡±

    ¡°C8-tier earth crawler beast emperor killed, killed by: C-tier aptitude user¡ªBai Li!¡±

    The broadcast echoed around the lobby, and although such announcements had been broadcasted for a month, there were still many that eximed out loud and were shocked by it.

    ¡°Another kill!¡±

    ¡°C8-tier, this Bai Li, what is her actual capability?¡±

    ¡°With such capabilities, how is she still using a C-tier aptitude user badge? Is she trying to make fun of us?¡±

    Everyone was mindful of Bai Li¡¯s growing capabilities and was impressed by it.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was still at the window counter, and the staff that had attended to him was coincidentally the same staff that had passed him the note when he had just arrived. She was looking at Qin Feng with immense reverence and admiration.

    Unfortunately, Bai Li was there so she was afraid of being overly proactive in approaching Qin Feng.

    However, the following sentence from Qin Feng caused her to raise her voice unintentionally.

    ¡°What? Master Qin, you want to submit your support mission? Are you nning to leave already?¡±

    Obviously, the support mission was the one that Shang Han had assigned to Qin Feng to provide support at the Dusan Basin for a month, and it had already been a month since themencement of the mission!

    Per the agreement, upon themencement of the support mission, Qin Feng would receive constant pay-outs from the Human Alliance in ordance to the duration of the mission.

    It was the same as when Xu Qing went to support Longchuan.

    Of course, Qin Feng was not receiving a lot from his pay-outs, as the battle achievements were in ordance to his tier, and Qin Feng was only registered as a C-tier, he could only be paid by the C-tier standards.

    However, as Shang Han had already assigned Qin Feng to a minimum standard of two insectoid nest demolitions within a month, he would be receiving exceptional pay-outs that were in ordance with B-tier battle achievement standards.

    Within the hunted kills umted by Qin Feng, he had already exceeded the target of his mission by tenfold.

    It had definitely secured the reward for him.

    However, the pay-outs did not matter to Qin Feng, as his main reason in submitting the mission for vetting was toplete the mission assigned by Shang Han and fulfil his promise.

    For the vetting staff, mission submission would naturally indicate withdrawal, after all, even if the mission had not been submitted, the pay-outs would still be released daily.

    Now, it hade to an end.

    Qin Feng was not trying to hide his intention either. ¡°Hmm, I have alreadypleted the support mission assigned by the regent!¡±

    The statement was like a dropping stone that had evoked a thousand waves!

    Their conversation was already drawing attention from the surroundings. Everyone had been paying their attention to it, and as Qin Feng answered with his intention to leave, everyone was shocked and could not resist the urge to look at him. Those that were about to go hunting had even stopped moving forward.

    They were all consumed by their burning desire to ask Qin Feng about his decision, and why he would leave.

    Jiang Po, the one who had attended to Qin Feng during his arrival, was among the crowd who was shocked upon hearing the news, and he immediately rushed to the second floor. Regardless of whether they were close to Qin Feng or not, every B-tier master had rushed downstairs.

    Meanwhile, since Qin Feng had already reassured the staff about his firm decision, the staff was afraid to further dy the request and went ahead to terminate the mission, and had even topped it up with additional rewards.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you leaving? Isn¡¯t there half a month left before the winter season ends?¡± Xu Qing asked immediately.

    Qin Feng also felt that the location was not bad, densely popted with insectoids that were suitable for hunting, and he was already close to breaking through C7-tier.

    But Qin Feng knew that he would have another better opportunity soon!

 Chapter 624 - Qin Feng, the Famous Prodigy

    <h4>Chapter 624: Qin Feng, the Famous Prodigy</h4>

    Nheless, Qin Feng could not tell anyone these reasons.

    Thus, Qin Feng said, ¡°I¡¯ve hunted for a whole month. I¡¯m getting tired. Besides, the situation here has improved vastlypared to when I first came here. I bet Dusan Central City would be safe in less than three years¡¯ time.¡±

    To people surviving in this apocalypse, having a safe haven within three years from now was basically a gift from the heavens!

    Xu Qing nodded and sighed, ¡°Yeah, you have done so much for the city here. You¡¯ve done the jobs of several B-tiersbined! And it¡¯s done in such a short time too!¡±

    Even Quong Po too sighed, ¡°Indeed. Dusan Central City thanks you, Qin Feng!¡±

    However, despite Qin Feng¡¯s great achievements, due to it being winter at the time and it was a slow season, all the A-tiers had left the city. If not, it would not only be B-tiers showing up in this crowd.

    ¡°Either way, if you¡¯re leaving, at least allow us to hold a feast for you! Let¡¯s party!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! Let¡¯s toast for more opportunities to get together in the future!¡±

    ¡°With you here, everyone feels a lot safer, Qin Feng!¡±

    The B-tiers had gathered around Qin Feng to celebrate his achievements in Dusan. People no longer rolled their eyes at him just because he was a C-tier.

    Because they knew that Qin Feng was someone far more powerful than a B-tier!

    Seeing the hospitality they were disying, Qin Feng had no reason to reject them. Thus, he brought Bai Li along to feast with everyone for the city¡¯s brighter, safer future.

    ***

    After the feast, Qin Feng activated his dimensional tunnel in front of everyone and teleported straight to Fengli City, North Sea State!

    Then, he sent his mission report to Shang Han. The list of achievements written in that report was so long and shiny that it almost blinded Shang Han.

    Meanwhile, a lot of A-tiers in the authority had also caught wind of Qin Feng¡¯s feat.

    Amongst the C-tiers, only the ones in the Dusan Basin knew how powerful Qin Feng was. There were so many C-tiers in the world fighting in the frontline. Thus, very few people took notice of someone who had recently gained fame in other regions.

    However, to the alliance... to the A-tiers who had authority in the Huaxia Alliance, this was great, exciting news.

    Shang Han¡¯smunicator started to vibrate just as Shang Han closed her eyes for her meditation. The person who called her was, of course, not some ordinary schmuck. The person was someone important in the alliance¡ªmeaning that this was someone whose call she could not just ignore.

    ¡°Hi, Shang Han! Long time no see!¡± As soon as she picked up the call, the person greeted her warmly.

    He was a man who looked old and frail¡ªthe wrinkles on his face and silver hair on his head seemed to tell a deep history of war against the ultra beasts. However, he was not as old as he looked¡ªin fact, he was about the same age as Shang Han! He looked really old because he had his life force and longevity deeply damaged from the countless hunts and battles with the ultra beasts throughout the years.

    ¡°If you¡¯ve got something to say then say it, Tung Yang! Lemme guess. You¡¯re calling to borrow one of my men, right?¡±

    This man was an experienced A-tier, like Shang Han¡ªTung Yang, an A3-tier water type ability user and the Eastern Regent of Huaxia Alliance.

    Tung Yang was surprised to hear that. ¡°What? There were others contacting you to borrow your manpower too?¡±

    Shang Han shrugged. ¡°You¡¯re not the first. About eight people came and talked to me about it. I can¡¯t even meditate and train in silence anymore!¡±

    ¡°They can borrow anyone for all I care. But, Shang Han... we¡¯ve been pals for decades now! Come on! You gotta lend me that new prodigy Qin Feng you got there!¡±

    ¡°Aha! I knew it!¡± Shang Han said.

    After hearing this, Tung Yang understood that the others too had their eyes set on Qin Feng.

    This was expected though.

    The Prodigy Tournament was only a few months ago. And Qin Feng had a glistening record of achievements in the Dusan Basintely too. They had heard just how powerful he was and they wanted him to go to their governed areas to help them.

    Tung Yang anxiously pleaded, ¡°Shang Han, dear friend, you know just how difficult it is in the Eastern Region here. There are battles after battles in the Ocean of Abyss during spring. Ick manpower over here!¡±

    Of course, Shang Han knew about this¡ªshe had heard himining about this almost every year.

    Humans had been struggling to survive the ultra beasts¡¯ attacks for centuries. These beasts kept attacking humanity throughout the year, every single season. Thus, the stronger a person was, the more responsibility he had to carry on his shoulder to take on these foes.

    If a person wanted to keep on fighting non-stop throughout the year, that person would realize that there were many ces that required assistance all year long, and that there were various dangers posed by ultra beasts everywhere.

    Shang Han gave it a thought before opening her mouth, ¡°I know about the problem with the Ocean of Abyss. However, Qin Feng is a fire type ability user. Having him by your side won¡¯t change the tide of battles over there.¡±

    ¡°I know that. But he is also an ancient warrior. And a prodigy too! I believe he can ovee these challenges!¡± Tung Yang insisted.

    Shang Han rubbed her eyebrows, feeling a persistent headache tingling in her head. Since when did she be Qin Feng¡¯s dear little secretary, huh?!

    ¡°Fine. I¡¯ll talk to him. There¡¯s still a month before the Ocean of Abyss starts ravaging the coasts. I¡¯ll do my best to persuade him to aid you. Still, you should know that prodigies need training in order to grow. We can¡¯t ask him to keep fighting on the frontlines like this!¡±

    Tung Yang shook his head. ¡°Now, this is why you have so many wimps who can¡¯t hold up a fight eating up your resources all these years, my friend. You can¡¯t have these prodigies and talents fight humans only! Real champions are forged in the fire of battle!¡±

    Shang Han did want to hear any of this. These people were not Qin Feng¡¯s superiors so they would not think much for Qin Feng¡¯s future. However, Shang Han was his boss. She needed to consider the young man¡¯s future and career.

    It was due to Qin Feng being a prodigy that made her care about what he thought and what he wanted for himself!

    Still, if she kept on yapping with Tung Yang, this would only turn into another fruitless debate about their philosophies.

    ¡°Okay, is that all? I¡¯ll hang up now. Bye!¡±

    Shang Han hung up and drafted a mission message before sending it to Qin Feng. Then, she made a direct call to him.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was checking the loot that he had acquired since the first day he officially joined the Huaxia Alliance.

    Beep Beep Beep!

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator started to beep.

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator was encrypted. And there was only one person who could call him.

    He looked at hismunicator. As expected, this was a call from Shang Han.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯ve got another client asking for your service. You know what? You better hire a secretary to deal with these invitations and give me back my peace and quiet!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled as he read the mission that was sent to him.

    ¡°Eastern Region? The Ocean of Abyss?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s smiling face turned serious after reading this.

    ¡°Huh, it¡¯s this ce...¡±

    The Abyssal Rift from before was just child¡¯s ypared to the Ocean of Abyss.

    ¡°Now this is a ce that I don¡¯t mess around in.¡±

    This was a ce that even Qin Feng had not been to before he was reborn. This was a ce where only true powerful champions could survive!

    Still, Qin Feng decided to ept the invitation. He only needed to join the hunt at the ocean after a month so this was not an issue for him.

    As for the other invitations, Qin Feng decided that they were not interesting enough for him to ept.

    After rejecting the other invitations, Qin Feng looked at the items in front of him!

 Chapter 625 - Upgrading Verdant Emperor Saber

    <h4>Chapter 625: Upgrading Verdant Emperor Saber</h4>

    Qin Feng had gotten a great haul of loot from his Dusan Basin visit¡ªhe had tons of materials from the hunt and at least twenty eight corpses of insectoid emperors. With these, Qin Feng¡¯s personal treasury could easily umte up to 50 trillion!

    The insectoid materials were priced a bit lower than the other ultra beasts in the market. However, due to the obscene amount of materials he had gathered, this would him trillions!

    Of course, Qin Feng could not get these trillions right away. Xue Xingfu could not process this many materials overnight after all.

    However, Qin Feng still had the money and points that he got frompleting his mission.

    The reward in cash alone was 170 trillion and his achievement points in the alliance had increased by 1,500,000!

    The Sacred me Meteor that Shang Han had redeemed for him cost him only 500,000 points. Now, he had 1 million points with him!

    ¡°The loss that we incurred during the fight with Z has finally been repaid by a little. Too bad there¡¯s no Hell Stone amongst the loot though!¡±

    Still, Qin Feng was able to redeem some items that were much more valuable than the Sacred me Meteor. The Sacred me Meteor was something only ability users could use; the ancient warriors tend to treat it as just another material.

    ¡°Myratonnium, Stygian Crystal of Inferno, and Grand-ripple Metal.¡±

    Yes. These three items were redeemed from the Huaxia Alliance market; and these cost him the entire 1,500,000 points that he got from the Dusan Basin.

    Myratonnium was a type of mineral that could add tens of thousands of Catties (1 Catty = 0.5 KG) of weight to the equipment it was forged into.

    The Stygian Crystal of Inferno was a pitch-ck crystal that was used to enhance weapons, enabling them to emit dark fiery mes when injecting the enhanced weapon with internal energy.

    The Grand-ripple metal was a type of metal that could fold internal energies that were injected into it by the thousands, enabling the metal wielder to attack enemies a thousand times in one hit.

    These three invaluable materials had a huge problem if one were to use them to enhance their equipment¡ªthey would cause their equipment to require huge amounts of internal energy to be used effectively.

    For example, for one to use the Grand-ripple metal, one had to keep injecting internal energy into it constantly. Each time it burst forth thousands of hits on his foe, the metal would drain a great deal of internal energy from the user too. If the user did not have enough supply of internal energy, the most it could do was hit the enemies one hundred or ten times.

    Perhaps there was already someone else forging a godlike weapon with this material. Still, this weapon would hurt the user as much as it would wound his foes. As such, usually no one would unsheathe it if things did not get desperate.

    However, Qin Feng had a lot of internal energy to spare.

    ¡°Let¡¯s hope these three materials synergize well.¡±

    After all, forging a weapon was not like fiddling with a set of Lego toys. If he did not have the Magical Tesseract with him, Qin Feng would not dare to mess with these godly materials.

    After putting his Verdant Emperor Saber into the Magical Tesseract, Qin Feng added some C-tier insectoid emperor shells into the tesseract too.

    It had been a long time since Qin Fengst enhanced his Verdant Emperor Saber. After all, the saber already had the Sun Steel infused in it¡ªthis had made it a fantastic weapon to use.

    However, with Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy raised to B-tier, the Verdant Emperor Saber needed an upgrade too.

    In no time, the original D-tier beast emperor materials had all been torn away as the new materials were fused with the saber. However, there was no visible change observed on the weapon.

    ¡°More!¡±

    Qin Feng put in B-tier beast emperor materials this time. These materials cost him 10 trillion. These materials were much more expensive than Quong Po¡¯s Thousand Flying Knives.

    The C-tier materials that he added earlier was just an attempt in building a sturdy foundation on the Verdant Emperor Saber so that it could absorb better materialster.

    As expected, the saber fused well with the new materials. It was now emitting a stronger presence than it did before.

    Finally, Qin Feng put in the three materials that were as valuable as S-tier ones.

    By using his conscious energy, Qin Feng was able to fuse Myriatonnium, the Stygian Crystal of Inferno and Grand-ripple Metal into his Verdant Emperor Saber. In a few minutes, the saber started to morph¡ªa shade of violet started to form on its de beforebusting into a dark me. The me that was burning on the saber was now much more focused and stablepared to the wildfire that burned on its earlier incarnation.

    ¡°Out!¡±

    Qin Feng pinched his conscious energy and pulled the Verdant Emperor Saber out of the Magical Tesseract. As he grabbed the hilt of the saber, a loud buzz of vibration could be heard!

    As Qin Feng held the saber¡¯s hilt, he could feel just how heavy it had now be. Yet, due to the saber that was still partly inside the Magical Tesseract, Qin Feng felt as though the saber was part of his own limbs.

    ¡°This is so insanely strong!¡±

    Even Qin Feng felt that he should not unsheathe this weapon whenever he was in a fight with another human being.

    Because whenever he shed it onto an enemy, it would definitely end his life in an instant!

    ¡°Still, whenever I use the Magical Tesseract to make other stuff, they all look greyish. Yet, the Verdant Emperor Saber looks more and more unique each time I improve it using the tesseract. I guess this saber is indeed special.¡± Qin Feng shrugged.

    He took out hismunicator and made a call to Liu Zhenshan.

    ¡°Uncle Liu, I need you to forge a new saber for me. You cane and retrieve the materials from me.¡±

    Liu Zhenshan was confused when he heard that. ¡°Sir, what kind of weapon would you like to wield?¡±

    Liu Zhenshan knew that Qin Feng had the Verdant Emperor Saber with him. He was the one who fused the saber with Star Steel back then.

    ¡°I need you to forge a saber with the leg of a C-tier insectoid emperor I have here. You may forge it anyway you like... just treat it like a casual practice would do.¡±

    Liu Zhenshan almost fainted when he heard that. C-tier insectoid emperor? Casual?

    Liu Zhenshan realized again that Qin Feng was not just some ¡°rich dude¡±. He was more than that! Qin Feng was not worried about wasting the materials he had. After all, he had twenty eight dead insectoid emperors in his vault. He would not care if he wasted just one leg of these insectoid emperors.

    As Liu Zhenshan was forging the weapon, Qin Feng did not go back to training. The Fengli Organization was on a stable, rapid growth. And Qin Feng did not need to manage them himself too. However, Qin Feng was not just the president of the Fengli Organization¡ªhe was the Governor of the North Sea State!

    The responsibility of this title was different from being a president of an organization. Besides, Qin Feng did not actually govern the state as he should have before too. Thus, it was high time that he fulfilled his responsibility to the state now.

    Qin Feng called the state¡¯s city mayors for a meeting. These people arrived at Fengli City at night.

    ***

    In a huge meeting room, several people with D-tier badges were lining up. These were all mayors and generals of various cities in the North Sea State.

    Amongst these people, Qin Feng knew a few of them¡ªlike, the mayor of Niumeng City, Meng Lin, and the vice-mayor of Qihan City, Han Yuanzhen.

    However, this time, Qin Feng was not the underling anymore. Now, it was Meng Lin and Han Yuanzhen¡¯s turn to look up to him, treating him as a superior.

    ¡°Why did the governor call us in? Have you guys heard any insider news?¡±

    ¡°No. I heard that the governor just came back from the battlefield. This is true. I¡¯ve heard it from inside the Fengli Organization.¡±

    ¡°Hey, is that rumor true? Did he y twenty eight waves of insectoids over there? And he earned a million points from that? I thought that was just a bluff!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s a C-tier. So, it¡¯s natural that he¡¯s insanely powerful. In fact, I¡¯ve never actually seen anyone as powerful as him!¡±

    ¡°Compared to the ones working in the Fengli Organization, we¡¯re like orphans!¡±

    ¡°Sigh. We¡¯re old now. They would not ept us if we apply to join in their ranks now.¡±

    People in the room started to chatter among themselves.

    Qin Feng owned the Fengli Organization. Thus, it was natural for him to train and mold powerful champions. However, Meng Lin and the others were part of the Human Alliance¡ªeven though they belonged to the same faction, their sries were not paid by Qin Feng.

    In fact, if Qin Feng wanted, he could even strip them all off their powers and rece them with his underlings in his organization.

 Chapter 626 - Qin Fengâ€™s Scheme

    <h4>Chapter 626: Qin Feng¡¯s Scheme</h4>

    These people were not allowed into the Fengli Organization because they were too politically seasoned. They were not a match with howrgely the organization worked.

    Like this time, when they were called in for a meeting, they started to throw wild spections behind what Qin Feng¡¯s intent was before listening to what he had to say.

    A few momentster, Qin Feng finally walked into the meeting room and sat on the chairman¡¯s chair.

    ¡°Everyone! Please be seated!¡± Qin Feng said.

    After seeing everyone seated, Qin Feng pondered for a short while before opening his mouth, ¡°Things are looking up in the North Sea State. Half of the North Sea¡¯s desert has now been turned into oases. There is also a huge decrease in the ultra beasts¡¯ number in the area. However, at the same time our resources have been vastly depleted too!¡±

    This was frankly quite unavoidable.

    In fact, to develop a powerful city, the best way was to own several entrances to several secret territories. The point was to be on the offensive instead of waiting for ultra beasts toe and attack them.

    And to do that, they would need more manpower. With more capable aptitude users joining the city, more taxes could be collected which then would be spent in developing the cities.

    However, the North Sea State did not have such advantages.

    Qin Feng continued on, ¡°Due to a huge climate change in the desert and cities growingrger and closer to one another, there was no need for the cities to construct walls to defend themselves. Yet, this also means that all the four cities are congregated together. Not only that, there are very few expedition teams to scout usefulnds for new settlements. To add more, there seems to be some mismanagement too. The ancient warrior families are avoiding taxes by abusing the privileges that they have!¡±

    These, however, were not the fault of these aptitude users¡ªthese were the problems that were all rooted back to Gao Yukang¡¯s governance.

    These people were associated with the Huaxia Alliance but they werergely uncontrolled by Gao Yukang. Meng Lin, for example, had to allow these ancient warrior families to abuse their privilege and get huge sets of benefits because they were too weak to stand up against them.

    If the ancient warriors were holding up their side of the bargain, things would at least be better. However, they did not. Whenever the ultra beasts came attacking, they justy back and watched, refusing to send their men toe to face these beasts. However, whenever there were some loot or benefits to share, they woulde and ask for their ¡°share¡±.

    With no one able to take on the ultra beasts and these schmucks robbing the government of all the money, no wonder the North Sea State was so weak.

    Of course, Qin Feng was not going to badmouth Gao Yukang. The man was dead. It was unwise to be disrespectful toward the deceased. Besides, Gao Yukang was the one who passed on his title to Qin Feng; so, he was grateful toward Governor Gao for this opportunity.

    Sure, there were a lot of things that Gao Yukang could not change during his service. However, Qin Feng could do what he could not!

    After hearing Qin Feng¡¯s analysis, everyone started to show some discontent.

    ¡°Governor, it¡¯s not that we don¡¯t want to collect the taxes. But most businesses are owned by these ancient warriors. They are quite powerful¡ªeven more powerful than our patrol units. There¡¯s no way we could tell them to get in line!¡±

    ¡°Yes, governor. This is hardly our fault. No one helped us in dealing with these leechers!¡±

    ¡°Some of these ancient warriors have C-tiers among them too!¡±

    Qin Feng took a slow sweep at everyone with his eyes, forcing everyone to shut up with his tenacious re.

    ¡°Are you done? It doesn¡¯t matter how it was back in the day. From today onward, these ancient warriors must pay their taxes. Send my message to them. If they dare to skip on even one cent, I¡¯ll go knock on their doors for a chat!¡±

    Qin Feng emphasized the word ¡°chat¡± when he said that.

    Would it be just a ¡°chat¡±? No one knew.

    However, these people of authority knew Qin Feng meant business now! When he first became the governor, he did not show these people his authority. Now, they had seen and felt it.

    Qin Feng continued on, ¡°I gave them one year for them to adjust to the new government here. So, I hope they know just who the boss is in the North Sea State!¡±

    This was a low-key threat but not toward anyone in the meeting room. As such, after hearing this, they felt a surge of confidence.

    To them, this was good news.

    ¡°Of course, Governor. We understand!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Governor! You¡¯re absolutely right in this. I¡¯ll do what you¡¯ve asked!¡±

    ¡°Hell yeah! It¡¯s about time!¡±

    Qin Feng waved his hand to signal for everyone to settle down. ¡°The biggest threat in the North Sea State is now gone. So, many aptitude users have ascended and improved in this one whole year. Now, we should do our best to prevent these new blood from moving out of our state!¡±

    Back then, the North Sea State had nothing but desert, and Shadong Town was a dog-eat-dog world. As such, even the Three Cities along the Sun would send E-tier aptitude users to help deal with the safety here.

    Now that things had changed, there were many more local aptitude users showing up.

    These aptitude users would need resources, money, ultra beasts¡¯ crystal cores, runes and scrolls to ascend and grow. If the North Sea State could not give them these, it was quite natural for them to leave and seek for better opportunities elsewhere.

    With these people gone, it would lead to the North Sea State losing power; and with less power, this meant less control for the government¡ªthest thing a governor would want to see.

    Thus, everyone in the meeting room now knew what Qin Feng wanted to announce.

    ¡°Boss, you mean to develop the North Sea State? To make our state stronger?¡± Meng Lin carefully opened his mouth, trying to uncover what Qin Feng was thinking.

    Still, there was no need to announce this outright. After Qin Feng had be stronger, he would start to feel that governing the North Sea State was not much of a challenge anymore. However, it would be very wasteful for him to just give it away.

    As such, Qin Feng now had three choices:

    One, to resign from his post and leave the North Sea State. He could earn more as a support general for the Huaxia Alliance.

    Two, apply for a transfer to be a governor of another state. However, this would mean that he could offend someone from another faction.

    Three, develop and strengthen the entirety of the North Sea State. However, in order to do so, he would need time and money. However, if things went well, the benefit would be tremendous.

    In the Northern Region, other than Beihua City, there was also Hanchuan State, where many capable aptitude users were born due to its plentiful resources. Compared to that, everyone from the North Sea State was so weak that they would bend whenever they passed by someone from another state. When he saw this, Qin Feng could not help but feel ashamed of this.

    Thus, Qin Feng chose the third route without hesitation and gave Meng Lin his reaffirmation, ¡°Yes. That is what I have in mind. That is why I¡¯m gathering all of you here to ask for your opinions.¡±

    After hearing this, everyone started to form their opinions and another wave of discussion had begun. Some of them were really giving proper analysis and suggestions on what to do to develop the state while some of them were just doing their darndest to secure some benefits for themselves. Qin Feng listened carefully to the former whilepletely giving thetter his cold shoulder.

    ¡°Alright, there¡¯s a good suggestion right there. Let¡¯s build a new city behind the four cities in order to umte the poption in the area¡ªright here!¡±

    Qin Feng switched on the big screen behind him and pointed at one spot on the map!

    As they looked at the map, they did not see the burning excitement in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Qin Feng knew that in less than half a month, a huge incident¡ªan incident of opportunity would happen on this very spot!

    That was why Qin Feng wanted to im this exact spot preemptively.

    Before he was reborn, Qin Feng remembered that in February, A.C (After Cmity Calendar) 219, Qin Feng was just a mere F8-tier aptitude user. He had no resource and power to do anything to grab this opportunity for himself.

    But now! He could with all the resources and power he had with him!

 Chapter 627 - The Balls that Squeezed Through Dimensional Rifts

    <h4>Chapter 627: The Balls that Squeezed Through Dimensional Rifts</h4>

    Everyone went straight to work after receiving orders from Qin Feng.

    The things that Qin Feng wanted done would usually require them half a year toplete. However, Qin Feng was a person who liked to keep things going and hated just sitting there and waiting for things to happen. Despite him not usually being stationed in Fengli, Qin Feng immediately brought a D-tier ground type ability user with him in the Fengli Dweller and went straight to the spot he wanted to start a settlement in the very next day.

    This ce was one of the outskirts with a lot of ultra beasts lurking around. It would usually take some time to clear them all out.

    However, Qin Feng was not some schmuck.

    When he was in the Dusan Basin, Qin Feng was able to sweep all those insectoids like it was nothing. In this area, the strongest ultra beasts were of E5-tier. Most of the ultra beasts here were just F-tiers.

    How could they take on Qin Feng? How could they withstand his attacks?

    After several waves of mes, Qin Feng was able to clean out an area to begin the construction of the new city¡ªincluding a huge area designated for farming. Many of the attacks Qin Feng unleashed included magma attacks, which then turned the soil in the area into a mineral-rich one that was vibrant enough for farming.

    Then, he asked the D-tier ground type ability user to bulldoze the terrain in the area so that it was t enough for city building.

    As these two got to working, the others in the four cities too were working their asses off. They kept gathering funds, manpower and surveying the poption in rural areas, etc.

    In this age and era, due to ack of tragedies happening now, there were a lot of people waiting for this opportunity¡ªthat someone of privilege and authority would give them mary opportunities and a chance to live within the safety of a city.

    In less than half a month, the city was built.

    The roads were spread across the city like a web, connecting to the closest city in the area¡ªQin City. There were countless people moving in and out of the city, filling the city with vibrancy of life.

    Atop of the city was a machine that allowed maniption of dimension and three huge aircrafts. The city was equipped with the best technology and defenses, making it basically a stronghold.

    Standing on a watchtower in the middle of the city, Qin Feng scanned around at the western side of the city. From time to time, he kept looking at the time disyed on hismunicator.

    Thankfully, no one noticed that he was acting strange. Bai Li, d in her dress that was made with Blight Butterfly wings, was hanging out next to him ying with her toy.

    Suddenly, a sharp signal could be heard from the dimensional device in the sky!

    Beep Beep Beep Beep!!!

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator too was sounding the signal as a loud, calm announcement could be heard from the hundreds of speakers in the city.

    ¡°Warning. Warning. A Dimensional Rift has been detected within the radius of 30 kilometers!¡±

    Thirty kilometers. That was really close to the city.

    It was quite usual for a city to install a dimensional device to stabilize the area while building a circle of watchtowers within twenty kilometers in radius from the center of the city. If it was thirty meters, it was like a half an hour drive in an ordinary car from here.

    However, if it was a hover car, they could reach there in ten minutes at full speed.

    Witnessing a Dimensional Rift opening up so close to them, the citizens felt as though the world wasing to an end.

    Meanwhile, the aptitude users in the city were surprised when they heard this.

    ¡°Quick! Send out the drones to scout the area!¡±

    ¡°We won¡¯t make it. It¡¯s just twenty kilometers. Just use the long-distance scanning!¡±

    ¡°Well? What are we waiting for! Start the scan!¡±

    Bai Li stood up and approached Qin Feng. ¡°So, is this the one you¡¯re waiting for?¡±

    Bai Li was no kid no more. Her cognitive abilities were now the same as any usual human being. In fact, with all those memories embedded and passed down to her via her DNA, she might actually be more knowledgeable and experienced than a reborn warrior like Qin Feng.

    She had always known that Qin Feng had some kind of ability to ¡°see the future¡±. To her, this was nothing unusual¡ªthe universe was a vast weird ce. There were many other creatures with the ability to see the future¡ªpredicting a disaster weeks before a human¡¯s machine could detect it.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and take a look. It must be a hell of a sight there.¡±

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go!¡±

    Bai Li activated her conscious energy and enveloped them in her silver dimensional runes before teleporting them to their destination in a burst of silver ray!

    Her ability to transport herself and others via her dimensional powers had now grown so much that she could teleport anything to as far as five thousand meters!

    This meant that she could reach the Dimensional Rift in just four jumps in the dimensional tunnel.

    When the whole city was watching from afar anxiously, Qin Feng and Bai Li had reached the rift in the span of ten seconds.

    In front of them was a huge, round hole appearing in mid-air.

    Not only that, there was already a sphere-like object squeezing its way half-way into this side of the dimension when they got there.

    The thing looked like a fiery ball.

    Bai Li looked at the huge hole in the air and recognized that it was the result of a forced attempt at tearing a huge hole in the dimension on the other side.

    ¡°Should I seal it up?¡± Bai Li asked.

    Right now, she was powerful enough topletely seal up this rift.

    ¡°No. I¡¯m waiting for them toe!¡±

    As Qin Feng was talking, the huge fiery ball had already gotten through and was about to enter this world.

    The fiery ball was huge, about forty-meter in diameter! The thing was dropping straight toward the ground from five hundred meters above! It was horrifying to look at!

    Booom!!

    In the blink of an eye, the fiery ball hadnded and sent out a massive shockwave. However, there was no tremor felt from itsnding!

    Standing on a high ground, Qin Feng could see that the split second before the ball reached the ground, it exploded and covered the ground in mes! Then, several hundred humanoids, in kneeling position, stood up from the fire. Their skin was crimson red with countless fiery cracks, like that of magma. One needed not to stand near these humanoids to see that there were mes burning on these small cracks on their skins. It was quite clear that these humanoids¡¯ body temperature was hot.

    It felt like he was looking at a group of self-immted fiery people.

    In fact, these ¡°fiery people¡± were muchrger than an average human being¡ªthey were about four meters tall, with sturdy solid muscles!

    They were the Cinderst Golems!

    There were several hundreds of Cinderst Golems standing down there. The weakest golem was a C8-tier. Some of the bigger ones were B-tier.

    Everyone in the city, including Zhou Hao and his friends, took in a breath of horror when they saw these horrifying creatures.

    ¡°Scan their energy levels, quick!¡±

    ¡°What are their tiers?¡±

    ¡°The strongest one is B1-tier!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    ¡°What should we do? Should we evacuate?¡±

    Everyone was panicking.

    B1-tier. That was a foe that they had never dared to take on.

    However, as everyone¡¯s attention was fixated on these Cinderst Golems, the sky started to crack again!

    Crack!

    Everyone could hear a loud crack, as though something huge had been broken. The people in the city moved their scanners to look at the direction it came from. Qin Feng and Bai Li too raised their heads to look at it.

    Another huge fiery ball was appearing mid-air, just like the one before.

    Not only that, the entire sky appeared as if it was going to crash down. There was no more familiar blue sky anymore. Instead, there were only silver rays everywhere as the huge, ck dimensional rift was pushing out another fiery ball. And then another... and another...

    In an instant, there were eight fiery balls in the sky.

 Chapter 628 - Cinderclast Golems

    <h4>Chapter 628: Cinderst Golems</h4>

    The sky was torn open, the damage stretching as far as the eyes could see.

    Everyone could only stare in horror as another eight massive rifts suddenly appeared and the fiery balls started to descend down from the sky, shrieking all the way as they came down toward the ground below.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    When the fiery balls exploded, the Cinderst Golems inside it began to spill out

    With these new additions, the Cinderst Golems had more than doubled in numbers!

    Everyone was starting to feel despair!

    Liu Xue let out a shrill, ear-piercingmand, ¡°Prepare the spatial seals, stabilize the rifts here!¡±

    The one in charge of managing the machinery, Wang Chen, was sweating bullets.

    ¡°We need five minutes to prepare spatial rift stabilizers!¡±

    ¡°Hurry up, hurry up!¡± Fengli¡¯s captain, Guo Guan was getting anxious.

    They did not have time to wait for five minutes.

    Up to thirty kilometers away, the sky looked like it had been broken into a sieve. After those eight fiery balls hadnded, it still was not the end of it. There were still thingsing out.

    The peoples¡¯ hearts were heavy.

    All of a sudden, some of them spotted Qin Feng standing on a slope.

    ¡°Wait, the president. The president and the vice president are still there!¡±

    Their gazes immediately shifted over to the screen and saw Qin Feng and Bai Li standing side by side as if they were enjoying a meteor shower. They were even chatting as if they were not in a dire situation at all.

    After seeing this, those who were still anxious suddenly no longer felt worried, as if all of their fears and doubts had been wiped away.

    ¡°The president can destroy an insectoid nest all by himself. They say that there are tens of thousands of insectoids living in a nest and their queens were at least emperor-rank. However, when we¡¯reparing them to these beasts, it might not be enough!¡± said a person who was still a little uncertain.

    Zhou Hao on the other hand seemed rather calm.

    ¡°It¡¯ll be okay. With President Qin here, all the problems will be easily solved. You must believe that there are people out there in this world who can make miracles happen!¡±

    Afterward, he sent a direct message to Qin Feng asking if they should lock down the space.

    Qin Feng very quickly issued a reply.

    Zhou Hao seemed more confident and said, ¡°Cancel the spatial stabilization and calm the civilians down. Call back the sentries twenty kilometers away and lock the city down. Gunners, grab your biggest most powerful guns and prepare for battle!¡±

    The moment Zhou Hao¡¯s voice rang out, everyone immediately snapped to attention and loudly responded with,

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    The senior staff began to mobilize quickly.

    One by one, the gunners grabbed their weapons and climbed onto the city walls, preparing to take on the newly appearing ultra beasts.

    Meanwhile, thirty kilometers away, Qin Feng watched the broken sky above as hundreds of fiery balls rained down from it!

    In other words, he could see thousands of Cinderst Golems moving in front of him.

    The good thing was the giant fiery balls in the sky seemed to have stopped and the sky was returning to its original state.

    The sky would return to normal, but that would take months before it would bepletely fixed.

    After all, this kind of destruction was the equivalent of getting a massive knife wound in your gut.

    That was not all, the space here was extremely unstable. It would eventually cause more rifts to appear, which meant more ultra beasts.

    ¡°Based on my memories, this has never happened before!¡±

    That was not surprising. Back then Qin Feng had never built a city. Naturally there was not an immediate investigation. When they were discovered, the Cinderst Golems had already consumed everything and became a huge threat to Qin City!

    ¡°Bai Li, seal the cracks!¡±

    ¡°On it!¡±

    Bai Li lifted her hand and countless rays of silver light flew out toward the sky.

    The twisted rifts in the sky quickly recovered with the help of this silver light, bing smaller and smaller beforepletely disappearing.

    The sky returned to its original blue shade, as if the giant fiery balls had never appeared.

    It did not take long for the Cinderst Golems to notice Bai Li and Qin Feng¡¯s presence.

    Perhaps it was because they sensed that these two were a threat and sent up ten golems over to deal with them, among them was a B1 Cinderst Golem.

    Boom boom boom!

    Their massive bodies meant that they were slow. It took them five minutes before they reached the hillside where Qin Feng and Bai Li were at.

    At that point, Qin Feng had already discovered that the remaining golems were all gathered under arge tree. One of the B-tier golems held up a scarlet me with two hands before cing it on the tree.

    The big tree was immediately turned into charcoal before he could even blink, but the fire still burned on it as the tree¡¯s leaves turned into flickering embers.

    The other golems spread out and searched their surroundings for objects. Whether it was grass or stones, they chucked them into the burning tree.

    As the tree burned, it continued to grow and in the blink of an eye the tree had grown from ten meters to twenty meters.

    They continued to add in more objects into the tree, even nearby ultra beasts that they managed to catch. All were tossed into the mes and burned to a crisp.

    A ming flower began to grow on one of the burning tree¡¯s branches before blooming into a meterrge fruit that quickly fell to the ground.

    As soon as the fruit met the ground, a small golem was born!

    That was the moment when all the golems began to cheer.

    They spread out again, even digging up the ground as they looked for more objects to add to the fire to make it grow even bigger!

    ¡°A Cinder Pine? Fire beasts are indeed a strange bunch!¡±

    Qin Feng thought out loud, and at this time, the Cinderst Golems who had set out to look for threats before had finally reached him.

    He pulled back his gaze and turned it toward the golems.

    When the golems saw Qin Feng their scarred faces all cracked into smiles, just like the ones who went out gathering.

    The B1-tier golem raised its hand and pointed forward, inciting the rest of the golems to charge forward as they tried to catch Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not move from his spot and pulled out a rune weapon that glowed with golden light.

    Naturally, he had asked Liu Zhenshan to make him a side weapon.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was his trump card and it was not something he should be using on every asion.

    This time, he did not use his Burning Sword Style, but pure internal force was added into the rune equipment, causing it to exude a powerful aura.

    The de swept forward.

    Ssskkk Rrrr!

    It sounded like a knife scraping against stone as the ferocious Cinderst Golems fell one after the other.

    They had their legs cut off, leaving only their upper bodies still functional. Yet, they did not seem to be affected by pain as they continued to attack Qin Feng, and some of them unleashed their fire-type abilities.

 Chapter 629 - The Floor is Lava

    <h4>Chapter 629: The Floor is Lava</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    A massive fiery ball, followed by seven or so smaller fiery balls were sent toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Start retreating!¡±

    Qin Feng said before channeling his internal force and blocking the iing fiery balls.

    Boom!

    The fiery balls might have seemed like a standard fiery ball attack, but he realized that it was actually a ball of magma and carried with it a massive force. Even if Qin Feng was prepared for the attack, he still let out a gasp when he tried to stabilize himself.

    If any ordinary ancient warrior were to meet these creatures, they would have stood no chance against such force.

    These golem might not be very smart and were not very fast, but their power in battle was nothing to make light about.

    The moment the fire attack hit him, even though it did not do any damage to his body, it also sshed onto the ground around him and turned the floor intova.

    Soon after, several fiery balls that missed their mark plopped onto the ground nearby and turned into more pools of magma.

    ¡°Raaagh!¡±

    The Cinderst Golem let out a roar as even the C-tier ones who were missing their legs began to advance with full force.

    Qin Feng did not hesitate and sped toward the monsters, shing off one of their heads.

    Only then did the huge body finally stop moving, and melted into a puddle of magma.

    The Cinderst Golem beside the defeated one immediately submerged itself into the magma and in the next moment it instantly transformed into a fiery giant. Its body reached up to three meters tall and burned with intense mes. Its fearsome visage twisted into a snarl as the giant plunged its hands toward Qin Feng.

    The giant¡¯s hands had an incredible reach and expelled fire all around it,pletely shrouding Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    His internal force was getting eaten away.

    This was the moment that the Cinderst Golem proved itself to be a dangerous opponent.

    Qin Feng smirked and suddenly dispelled the internal force around his body, and all of a sudden another gout of me burst forth.

    He too was a fire user.

    ¡°ming Cloak!¡±

    Ayer of me wrapped itself around his body, merging with other fire runes and increasing his fire resistance.

    He stepped onto theva and with a sudden surge of internal force, his golden de pierced through the skull of therge Cinderst Golem!

    Shunk!

    The Cinderst Golem immediately copsed to the ground, its body melting away intova and adding more of it to the ground.

    Soon after, three more golems rolled into the magma before instantly bing more powerful.

    They surrounded him in a triangr formation.

    For anyone else, this would have been an incredibly dangerous situation.

    However, Qin Feng did not try to hide and instead also burst into mes.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    ¡°Raaagh!!!¡±

    An inferno zed and wrapped around the three Cinderst Golems!

    The golems were naturally not afraid of fire, but they did not have the strength to resist the fire dragon.

    The fire dragon spun in a circle, wrapping its body around the golems and restricting their movement before tightening its loop, sending the three Cinderst Golems careening toward Qin Feng.

    His de flickered through the air.

    sh!

    Three heads dropped into theva.

    The magma pool began to expand even more, and even covered the remaining six golems.

    It was at this moment, something even more terrifying happened.

    Anyone with this inferno surrounding them would have already been burnt to a crisp.

    However, this inferno was also Qin Feng¡¯s weapon.

    ¡°Magma Pir!¡±

    Bang bang bang bang!

    The Magma Pirs erupted and by conglomerating the me runes he sent these Cinderst Golems flying up into the air.

    Even though the move seemed simple, the use of consciousness along with the ability of rune maniption was not an easy task.

    Not only that, this was supposed to be the Cinderst Golems¡¯ preferredbat environment!

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    Swish!

    A cold glint of light shone as another Cinderst Golem was beheaded!

    ¡°Another!¡±

    Qin Feng spun through the air, bouncing from the bodies as he swung for the kill with his golden runede.

    It was as if he was a well ced cannon shot, none of the golems managed to survive before dropping to the ground.

    At that point, the magma on the ground had already spread up to a hundred meters.

    ¡°Raaaagh!!!¡±

    The B1 Cinderst Golem let out a roar, its body beginning to grow.

    Originally he was the tallest among the group of golem, but with the empowerment of theva he grew up to twenty meters tall.

    The golem raised up its hands and mmed them down, sshing the magma forward and causing it to move like a tidal wave.

    If that wave ofva were to wash over anything, it definitely would not be good!

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes glinted, this kind of new ability was something he had never used before. This was pretty much the next level of the Magma ability!

    However, this was not the time to be thinking of such things.

    A pair of blue ming peacock wings sprouted from his back and carried him aloft, avoiding this iing wave.

    ¡°Magma Pir!¡±

    Boom!

    A huge bang sounded but the Cinderst Golem was too big, meaning that the Magma Pir move was not enough to knock it up into the air.

    ¡°Raaaagh!¡±

    The Cinderst Golem had its own moves. As soon as it raised its hands, a burst of magma rocketed toward Qin Feng at a high speed.

    He quickly formed a me shield with his hand to deter the blow.

    Both sides were trying to push forward only to get pushed back.

    These Cinderst Golems were stubborn ones!

    Whenpared to something like the insectoids, the insectoids seemed harmless and adorable. For Qin Feng, killing them was like ughtering chicken. These golems on the other hand were difficult things to get rid of.

    It was at this moment, Bai Li who had retreated a hundred meters away could not stand it any longer!

    It had been ten minutes since the beginning of the two¡¯s battle. It was considered a long time for Qin Feng, who liked his battles to be over quickly.

    As such, Bai Li found this uneptable.

    In that instant, a ck spatial rift appeared near the Cinderst Golem¡¯s neck. He had been focusing on Qin Feng and did not expect anyone else to join the fight. It had been chasing Qin Feng down through theva with considerable speedpared to its slow movement before its transformation.

    However, with how fast it was moving, it might as well have deliberately run its head into a de.

    Pop!

    The Cinderst Golem burst past the rift and his head slid off his shoulders!

    Boom!

    The massive head crashed into theva, sending up another crimson wave before sinking down into it. Then the huge body began to sink down into the bubblingva as well, joining its head.

    By this time, the magma had reached up to three hundred meters. Enough to cover up a za!

    Not only that, this magma pool had been gradually releasing fire runes, slowly cooling down at the edges. These fires were red hot and added to the searing heat of Qin Feng¡¯s own fire,pared to the previous fire runes he absorbed before.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    His ability core began to spin rapidly.

    Afterward, the magma seemed to have elerated in its cooling speed as streams of red energy flowed toward Qin Feng¡¯s body and embedded themselves in his ability core.

 Chapter 630 - High Profit Turnout

    <h4>Chapter 630: High Profit Turnout</h4>

    Qin Feng consumed all of the runes in the blink of an eye, leaving behind orange soil on the ground.

    Lying among the soil were several bright red crystals.

    These were crystals left behind after the Cinderst Golems were destroyed and due to the fact that these beasts all died in theva their energies merged together and left behind crystals that were about the same size as each other. There were about thirty of them in total.

    These crystals were the equivalent to a crystal core of a C1 tier fire type beast king and were worth about 30 billion each.

    How was this scary?

    How many golems were still out there? At least tens of thousands and they would all 300 trillion.

    Qin Feng had been busy in thest month, bravely facing death as he destroyed twenty eight insectoid hives. The spoils of warbined with the rewards he gained were about the same amount.

    For other people, getting rid of an insectoid hive was too difficult but killing a Cinderst Golem was easy enough.

    Not only that, the Cinder Pines that these beings were making infinitely increased the number of these golems.

    They were simply cash cows.

    Before his rebirth, the North Sea state became an area frequented by high-tier aptitude users because of this. This ce was originally upied by an ancient warrior family who first appeared near the Water Tower before countless B-tier bosses appeared and wanted a piece of the pie. Following that were the Dark Coalition¡¯s people who also began to appear in the area.

    After killing the golems and people dying in the process, the area became a massive magma field.

    Even after all the Golems had been wiped out it did not matter, the humans opened up a spatial rift right into their realm.

    Perhaps it was not because humans did not have the ability to fight, it was because they only fought to gain more profit.

    From what he understood, the most sessful attempts of humans invading other realms were those who had ample ess to spatial passages. Those were usually B-tier bosses ofrge organizations.

    What Qin Feng had to do now was control this spatial rift and be the one to reap the benefits.

    It was going to be bad news for the rest, because the moment Qin Feng got his hand on this resource there was no possible way that he would be willing to share it!

    Besides that, it was clear that the Golems were not very intelligent. As Qin Feng continued to hunt down the ones in his area until it was dusk, the main group never even sent one to go and investigate.

    For the Cinderst Golems, even if they died they would turn intova and allow those who were at least C1 tier beast kings to be able to consume the magma and be even stronger.

    As such, they did not fear death.

    Moreover, the Cinder Pines they made could spawn more golems.

    Qin Feng looked into the distance and activated hismunicator to contact the administration hall of the new city.

    When his image appeared on the big screen, many high ranking officials were awaiting hismand.

    ¡°Start up an aircraft and prepare arge number of freezing missiles. Restrict their movement and surround this intelligent species!¡±

    Upon hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words, everyone became more alert!

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll move now!¡±

    ¡°Move it, let¡¯s exterminate these things!¡±

    ¡°Where are the warehouse people? Go get the special cryomissles!¡±

    Arge number of people began to mobilize to board the aircraft and approached Qin Feng¡¯s position.

    Meanwhile, he took a helmet out from his spatial rune equipment and put it on.

    The Sacred Armor wasplete!

    ¡°Maybe we can go even faster like this!¡±

    He wrapped his arm around Bai Li¡¯s waist and leapt forward.

    The Sacred Armor unleashed its full force, causing Qin Feng to move so fast that he reached the Cinderst Golems¡¯ territory in the blink of an eye.

    Thirty meters away, he could see the shape of several golems moving about in the woods.

    They uprooted a big tree and lumbered away with it, nning on making the Cinder Pine even bigger.

    Qin Feng raised a hand and shot out a beam of light, transforming his internal force into pure energy.

    Boom!

    This beam of light instantly pierced through the head of one of the golems.

    Boom!

    The golem immediately copsed and turned the floor around it intova.

    At this moment, there were more than twenty golems in the area that immediately turned their attention onto Qin Feng. Their eyes lit up and all came at him with fang and w.

    ¡°Raaagh! Raaagh!¡±

    They continued to roar as they made their slow advance and eventually stumbled through theva pool, violently transforming into a different beast.

    Qin Feng did not need to experiment this time, that would be too much of a hassle.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    He unleashed beams of light from his hands and fired all around him.

    Bang bang bang bang bang!

    Several of the empowered Cinderst Golems suddenly had a hole blown through their heads.

    This caused more magma to spread to the surrounding area, forming into a huge magma pool that more Cinderst Golems hopped into.

    ¡°Yaaaah!!!¡±

    Qin Feng did not try to dodge as the Sacred Armor¡¯s energy floated into the air above him and unleashed a constant volley of attacks on these Golems.

    It was an endless ughter!

    By then, three aircrafts had already arrived on scene!

    They had detected this scene from their scanners earlier and even saw Qin Feng¡¯s battle. They had already put their blind trust in Qin Feng¡¯s strength.

    This crisis did not seem to be that big of a deal.

    However, when they truly arrived at the site many of the lower level aptitude users felt sick from the Cinderst Golems¡¯ aura and lost a huge portion of their control. Guo Guan had to pull back several kilometers before they were at a safe distance.

    Qin Feng sounded his orders again.

    ¡°Fire immediately, aim for the magma pools!¡±

    Inside the aircraft, Guo Guan ryed the order through the aircraft.

    Outside the aircraft, ck holes began to appear underneath.

    The low level aptitude users loaded the shells, managed the cannon¡¯s alignment and locked onto their targets.

    ¡°Fire!¡±

    Swish swish swish swish!

    More than a dozen missiles wereunched.

    There was already a huge patch of magma behind Qin Feng. The moment these missiles hit theva, it caused massive blooms of ice to erupt from the explosion and covered up to ten plus meters but the ice soon became mist and evaporated!

    After all, this magma pool was incredibly hot.

    With the application of the cryomissles, theva began to cool rapidly and Bai Li swept across the scene with her consciousness to sweep up the fire crystal cores with her space.

    The people on the aircraft could see all of this, but they were not able to detect more due to their distance. Whatever Bai Li picked up were definitely valuable objects.

    Qin Feng did not rush toward the Cinder Pine, instead he rounded the perimeter and took out as many Cinderst Golems as he could find. Within a few hours he had already hunted down more than five hundred of them.

    However, during this period of time more wood, stones and even ultra beasts had been added to the Cinder Pine.

    The tree was getting bigger and bigger. It had reached up to be more than eighty meters tall. In this wilderness, it soon reached the clouds. Of course, with how intensely the fire burned it would have instantly evaporated all the surrounding clouds close to it. There was no way moisture would exist near such intense heat.

    As the tree continued to grow, more and more Cinderst Golems were born.

    It could be said that what Qin Feng had hunted down in a few hours did notpare to the sheer amount that the tree continued to produce.

 Chapter 631 - Hou Familyâ€™s Decision

    <h4>Chapter 631: Hou Family¡¯s Decision</h4>

    The Cinderst Golems¡¯ territory was gettingrger andrger.

    When that Cinder Pine had reached about one hundred meters tall, it looked like it wasrge enough to blot out the Sun.

    Upon calcting this, a bad feeling began to seep into people¡¯s hearts.

    Of course, only Qin Feng looked rxed and not at all anxious.

    Everything was still under control.

    ¡°Pull back the aircraft and swap the crew, bring in another group of people!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Of course!¡± Guo Guan looked at those who managed to resist the pressure pushed on them by the ultra beasts¡¯ aura. They had been fighting for six hours and looked like they were about to copse. Naturally he was ready to set off and return.

    Due to having prior experience, the next captain would be Wang Chen and he brought along with him E-tier aptitude users.

    Following that were other D-tier aptitude users who were ready for action, and the most indispensable thing in the Fengli Organization were definitely gunners!

    Qin Feng had been fighting all the time. He was a resolute leader with a series of unyielding troops.

    Through this tactic, after three days, Qin Feng had hunted down and killed up to seven thousand or so Cinderst Golems.

    However, the Cinderst Golems¡¯ territory continued to expand. The surroundingnd around the Cinder Pine was originally tnd, but as its surroundings were constantly getting emptied out, not even soil was left untouched. The bit of tnd shifted to a small hill then became like a mountain.

    Everywhere else waspletely bare!

    The Cinderst Golems had spread their activities up to five kilometers away.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you don¡¯t need to fight like this. You can still ask people for help, if we¡¯re the only ones we can¡¯t take down those golems!¡± Zhou Hao said with a hint of worry in his voice over themunicator.

    Qin Feng smirked and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t given it my best yet. I¡¯m just keeping things under control. You want to know why for these past few days I haven¡¯t revealed the Cinderst Golems¡¯ crystal cores to you guys?¡±

    Zhou Hao obviously did not understand.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know! No matter how good something is, staying alive is also important. Don¡¯t overexert yourself!¡±

    Qin Feng said, ¡°It¡¯s almost the equivalent of a C1-tier fire-type beast king, it¡¯s worth about 30 billion...¡±

    ¡°30 billion, even if it¡¯s 50 billion...Eh? Wait, what did you just say? I think my ears are hallucinating!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled and continued, ¡°Every C-tier Cinderst Golem drops that kind of crystal core. The B-tier ones drop ones that are ten times or even twenty timesrger. You can calcte how much I¡¯ve earned these past few days.¡±

    Zhou Hao felt like his mind was short circuiting as he tried to envision the numbers, which only just flooded his vision. Not only that, when he tried to convert that number into power credits he felt as if he was floating through an ocean made out of it.

    He had a share in the Fengli Organization and the money he received from it was a terrifying amount, something that was impossible for a D-tier to own. That amount was only one out of a thousand of what Qin Feng earned.

    ¡°I need to sit down for a minute, I seem to have beenpletely blinded by money!¡± Zhou Hao felt like his mind was spinning at a hundred kilometers per hour.

    ¡°You should get some rest and try to calm down the residents of the new city. Xue Xingfu can¡¯te so all that is in your hands. You¡¯ve been busy for a long time, so don¡¯t worry about me!¡±

    ¡°...Okay, what the heck, now I see why you¡¯ve been working so hard because it¡¯s worth it!¡±

    ¡°Haha, of course it¡¯s worth it! This is big money!¡±

    Qin Feng was not tired at all. Every time he killed a golem, he gained back the energy to replenish his body and what he consumed added to the power of the Sacred Armor. He did not suffer much damage to his own body.

    What was more, it wasmon for him to be unsightly for long periods of time before his rebirth. Thest time he went to Dusan was not as ostentatious as it was now. Of course, nowadays his performance far surpassed people¡¯s expectations!

    As for now, Qin Feng had not unleashed his full strength just yet. He was managing it and waiting for something.

    People did not fight because they wanted to save the world, what Qin Feng was doing might be considered hical by all means but aptitude users were prone to taking on what the world threw at them as well as each other. It was not too different from that!

    He continued his hunt for four more days. All of the original Cinderst Golems that popped out from the sky had been killed off. The ones remaining were the new ones, hardly over two meters tall. They had not started growing yet.

    By this time, the spatial crack invasion had been going on for so long that other people had caught wind of it.

    The first ones to know were naturally the ancient warrior families.

    After all, these families were the streetwise locals at best and local tyrants at worst. With their direct lineagebined, they numbered about a few hundred people in total. These three ancient warrior families also had other disciples that depended on them and even then their subordinates were no more than organizations created by C-tier aptitude users.

    With the existence of these people who hade to experience what the new city had to offer, how could they not have discovered the crisis here?

    Within the Hou family headquarters, a meeting was taking ce. The head elder of the Hou Family, a C-tier aptitude user known as Hou Ming had returned to the North Sea state.

    ¡°Great elder, what I say is true. If they aren¡¯t good things then why would Qin Feng go out there and fight on for seven days in a row? Without taking breaks even?¡±

    ¡°This is indeed a strange situation. It¡¯s a pity that all the people we¡¯ve nted in the new city aren¡¯t very powerful and can¡¯t go out at all. However, from what they¡¯ve seen, the aircrafts flying over the city, the eight hour rounds and how they¡¯re all equipped with freezing missiles, missles that cost up to 20 billion each! If there wasn¡¯t any profit, why would Qin Feng invest so much?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, Qin Feng must have grabbed some kind of resource!¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t let him enjoy it alone and let him expand even further, what with him hovering over our heads all the time.¡±

    Everyone had something to say, and plenty of it wasced with resentment, envy and frustration.

    The rtionship between the Hou family and Qin Feng was not very good. In addition, when he took over the North Sea state he even started asking the ancient warrior families to pay taxes and that shocked Hou Ming.

    He also remained silent about Qin Feng¡¯s power. He understood that Qin Feng was an iron wall that they could not afford to take on!

    However, wanting everyone in the family to pay taxes was like tearing a chunk of flesh out of Hou Ming.

    Now that Qin Feng looked like he was gaining some benefits again, as the sensitive party in this rtionship, the Hou family did not want Qin Feng to have it easy. If the other party had benefits, it was natural to share with the rest.

    ¡°I¡¯ll investigate thister, maybe we can discuss this with the Tieh family!¡± Hou Ming said.

    The eyes of everyone in the room lit up, they were all only D-tier and they would never receive news from the front line. In their opinion, Qin Feng was only C-tier and their elder was a C-tier, and had been one longer than Qin Feng had been alive. Surely that would mean that Qin Feng was no match against their elder.

    They had wanted to teach Qin Feng a lesson for a long time. It would be best if their elder got rid of him, after that would the North Sea state not be an easier ce for them to continue living in?

    Hou Ming knew what these people were thinking of but could not bring themselves to say, he then asked Hou Yangjiao and seven other D-tier aptitude users to prepare to head out.

    Meanwhile, the Tieh family and the Yang family were also discussing this matter.

 Chapter 632 - Scheme and Be Schemed

    <h4>Chapter 632: Scheme and Be Schemed</h4>

    Tieh Yuanjiu, a C-tier aptitude user of the Tieh family, was also contemting. Below him, the D-tier elders of the family were anticipating his decision.

    ¡°Chief, why are you still hesitating? Since the predecessor of the Hou¡¯s family has invited us, why don¡¯t we go and have a look?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. This could be a fate-changing opportunity!¡±

    ¡°If we allow Qin Feng to keep growing, our family would eventually have a difficult time in the future too!¡±

    ¡°Whatever it is, we won¡¯t simply rock the boat.¡±

    ¡°Sigh! The North Sea used to be our turf. Since when have we be such a coward? How are we going to prosper here if this goes on?¡±

    The elders were divided in their opinions. There were two different perspectives. Those younger ones, such as Tieh Lei who befriended Qin Feng, did not wish to go against the governor.

    But Qin Feng¡¯s existence had greatly threatened the older folk¡¯s interest. This side favored going and wished to get a share of the cake.

    Tieh Yuanjiu spun the iron ball in his hand and finally dered, ¡°Since the Hou family has invited us, let¡¯s go and take a look. If they were to offend Qin Feng, we will just put the me on them.¡±

    Some nodded approvingly, while others epted the decision with a heavy heart.

    ***

    The Yang family was equally bustling at the same time.

    Yang Zhoutian had returned to the North Sea. His family hideout resided at Tangshan Mountain, near the foot of the mountain where the Blue me Peacock Emperor previously habituated. Though the strongest beasts here are only D-tiers, Yang Zhou would stille home every year in case a beast wave urred near the mountain areas.

    The reason why the Yang family had selected this location was the energy mine they had found here. Though the mine was small, it was filled with ample raw energy umted from the atmosphere. As long as they were based here, all the descendants of the Yang family could be nurtured by it.

    Thus, they could not afford to lose their headquarters.

    Inside the family hall, more than fifty persons had gathered to discuss the matter. The attendees included D-tiers and E-tiers as well.

    ¡°The Governor has fought by himself for seven days straight and did not call for backup. I believe he has his own reason. It¡¯s inappropriate for us to barge in right now.¡±

    ¡°The reason is he is trying to hide something valuable from us. We shouldn¡¯t let this chance pass.¡±

    ¡°We have to be very careful though. Our family has been maintaining a good rtionship with the governor. We better not screw this up.¡±

    ¡°We are just there to take a look. Take it as us voluntarily helping the governor to get rid of a threat. I believe there¡¯s no reason that he would reject our help.¡±

    ¡°Wait, the Tieh and Hou families seem to have left their base. They are probably going to the governor.¡±

    After they received the news, everyone turned to Yang Zhoutian.

    Yang Zhoutian smirked cunningly. ¡°Then, let them do the scouting for us. We will know the good and bad once they reach there. It¡¯s just a matter of a day or two, we won¡¯t lose a lot.¡±

    He made a good point. The others nodded without objection.

    Under close surveince by the Yang family, the Tieh and Hou family had rendezvoused and were headed toward the newly built city together.

    A few hourster, they passed through the city and reached the territory of the Cinderst Golem.

    Qin Feng had received the news right when they departed.

    From the perspective of the Human Alliance officers in Fengli, Qin Feng already had enough trouble dealing with the golems alone. They felt obliged to inform Qin Feng when they found out that someone was trying to jeopardize his mission.

    This time, it was Guo Guan who helped Qin Feng to cool off theva using the hovercraft.

    ¡°President, do we need to restrict their movement when they arrive?¡± Guo Guan asked.

    If it were needed, he would not hesitate to kill them all. To Guo Guan who came from the City of Death, those so-called prestigious ancient warrior families were just a bunch of clowns.

    Qin Feng, unexpectedly, smiled and said, ¡°Restrict them? Come on, they are here to help!¡±

    Guo Guan looked at Qin Feng oddly. Things were not as simple as it seemed.

    However, he did not ask another question and followed Qin Feng¡¯s order and did not take any further action. Besides, the territory of the Cinderst Golem was rather huge. The two families would not be so ignorant to show up in front of Qin Feng¡¯s face.

    They had purposely steered clear from Qin Feng and his hovercraft. Not even that but they also tried to conceal their presence with consciousness shields and dark runes.

    These tricks were not able to escape Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    He gave it a nce and ignored them. Instead, he told Guo Guan, ¡°Alright, we have been busy for a few days now. Though we failed to control the number, at least there are no more B-tier Cinderst Golems around. C-tiers have reduced a lot, too.¡±

    As for those two-meter-tall golems, though they were indeed stronger aspared to when they were just born, they were only at D5-tier at the moment.

    Guo Guan was again surprised by Qin Feng¡¯s decision. And again, he carried out the order and drove the hovercraft back.

    The Hou family was monitoring Qin Feng closely. They were puzzled when they saw Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft leave the scene.

    ¡°Predecessor, Qin Feng is leaving!¡±

    ¡°Eh?¡± Hou Ming was a little surprised.

    ¡°He has been battling for seven days, after all. He probably knows we are here and decided to pass the baton to us,¡± Tieh Yuanjiu guessed.

    ¡°I guess so...¡± Hou Ming could not think of any other exnation.

    ¡°We shouldn¡¯t slow down then. Let¡¯s not betray Governor Qin¡¯s trust!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, yea!¡±

    Actually, both of them had the same thought.

    ¡®Let¡¯s see what treasure he is trying to hide from us!¡¯

    They were both powerful aptitude users. But the golems roaming at the perimeter were all C-tiers. The D-tiers could only be found further in. To be safe, they ordered a gunner to lure a Cinderst Golem over.

    Thump!

    A golem stomped toward them sluggishly.

    Everyone was staying on high alert. Hou Ming was the first to attack,unching the two-meter-long stick in his hand.

    ¡°Shadowless Quell!¡±

    The long stick turned into one after another afterimage. His internal strength dispersed following the circling motion and whirled like a blender.

    Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

    The stick hit on the golem and raised sparks. Stones were seen falling off from the golem¡¯s shoulder thumped by the stick.

    ¡°Roar!¡± The golem stared at Hou Ming furiously and pped his giant hand down on Hou Ming. Thetter tried to block with his stick but was instead sent flying back. His internal energy shield hummed piercingly under the impact.

    ¡°Ironcleave Palm!¡±

    Out of nowhere, a dark giant palm came down andnded on the golem. The palm then proceeded to grip the golem firmly in ce.

    The other aptitude users quickly followed up and assaulted the golem with their respective melee weapons. The gunners also opened fire from a distance using D-tier frost bullets.

    Soon, the golem was unable to withstand the bombardment and faltered. A D-tiernded the finishing blow by cutting off its head.

    Unexpectedly, the dead golem immediately exploded the next moment.

    Those near the golem were impacted by the explosion and sted to the ground, which had promptly turned into ava pool.

    ¡°Argh!! Argh!! Argh!!¡±

    Painful shrieks were heard non-stop.

    <h4>Chapter 633: Ravaged</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Theva melted away the ancient warriors¡¯ internal energy shield very quickly. After all, these ancient warriors were only at D-tier. It was rather impossible to defend against theva of C-tier Cinderst Golems using a D-tier¡¯s shield.

    Luckily, theva stopped sshing after the explosion. The golem was truly dead.

    ¡°Up!¡±

    Hou Ming dragged the aptitude users bathed by theva away to safety with his long stick.

    These aptitude users had sufferedrge burn areas. One of them was heavily injured and could no longer fight.

    The turn of the event caught them by surprise. Hou Ming and Tieh Yuanjiu became more vignt.

    ¡°Why do the golems turn intovas after being killed?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. What¡¯s there to be collected in this case?¡±

    ¡°Predecessor, I saw that Qin Feng¡¯s hovercraft was not aiming the frost ster at the golem but theva on our way here. Perhaps there¡¯s a reason behind such action?¡± One of the gunners chimed in and cleverly proposed.

    ¡°We should give it a try!¡±

    Everyone fell back a little. Several gunners took out the frost ster and promptly fired at theva. The frost immediately vaporized theva upon contact.

    Theva pool dried up not long after. A breeze of cold wind cleared away the vapor and revealed the orange igneous rock underneath it. Within it, an egg-sized crystal beamed mesmerizingly.

    Heat was still radiating from the crystal. The ice around it melted much faster than the rest of the area.

    Hou Ming reached to it first. He caught the crystal core in his hand and quivered in excitement as soon as his fingers touched the warm stone.

    ¡°This core!!!¡±

    Tieh Yuanjiu walked up to him and stared at the crystal core too.

    ¡°This is impossible!¡±

    ¡°No wonder!¡± Hou Ming eximed, ¡°Now I understand why Qin Feng hid this from us.¡±

    Hou Yuanjiu understood why Hou Ming said so. The energy within the core was almost equivalent to a C-tier fire-type beast king. The price of such a core could go up to 30 billion in the market

    Besides, they only needed around ten minutes to finish off a Cinderst Golem. Though some of the D-tier aptitude users were injured in the process, it was because they still did not understand the golem¡¯s attacking nature.

    Overall, the golem was rtively easy to bring down. Not only that but the return was a hundred times more lucrative than other beasts of a simr level.

    For a brief instance, their eyes expressed greed. But it faded off quickly.

    After all, these beasts were all over the mountain.

    They quickly hid their true expression but were coincidentally having the same thought.

    ¡®It¡¯s better to work alone rather than share the loot with him.¡¯

    But Tieh Yuanjiu was unwilling to let go of the crystal core in Hou Ming¡¯s hand this easily.

    ¡°Governor Qin is rather selfish in keeping this to himself. Now that we have learned his secret, let¡¯s not waste time and keep hunting. This time, I should take the loot, okay?¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, naturally.¡± Hou Ming made no objections. They were going to work independently after this so he did not mind coborating for onest time.

    Without any dy, they had the gunners lure more golems over. Unexpectedly, they simultaneously attracted one giant and two smaller golems.

    The two small golems were only D5-tiers. To aptitude users, a different tier represented a different form. They believed that the two D-tiers would be exterminated quickly. They could then share the loot evenly with no dispute.

    ¡°Stall the big guy!¡± Hou Ming directed the order at Hou Yangjiao. They had little trouble facing the giant golem since it moved extremely slowly, to begin with.

    Hou Ming and Tieh Yuanjiu concentrated on the two smaller golems. They felt confident since they had grasped the weakness of the Cinderst Golems.

    The golem would die once beheaded.

    Almost simultaneously, they finished off the two smaller golems.

    Boom! Boom!

    Just as before, the golems exploded and turned intova. It then spread out into ava pool of about thirty-meter in diameter.

    Both of them were prepared for the explosion this time. They used qinggong to evade the explosions and lunged agilely toward the giant golem without any dy.

    The giant Cinderst Golem growled angrily when it saw that the two small golems had been killed.

    ¡°Rawr! Rawr! Rawr!¡±

    It paced forward aggressively and stepped onto the pool.

    Boom!

    A giant me soon emerged on the golem¡¯s body. It then extended its hands and wrapped them around Hou Ming and Tieh Yuanjiu.

    The giant hands that looked like fire were actually solid rocks underneath it. The fiery aura torched their internal energy shield.

    Crack! A crisp shattering sound was heard, like how a bulletproof ss was being cracked into a spider web shape.

    Poof!

    Surprisingly, their internal energy shields were instantaneously shattered.

    Everything happened too quickly. Before they could react, they were already surrounded by the fire. All they felt next was a burning sensation and enormous pressure.

    The giant golem¡¯s hands were gripping on their waists.

    ¡°Argh!¡± Hou Ming shrieked.

    The sound of fire crackling was heard. Hou Ming wore a C-tier beast king inner armor, which bought him some time to struggle.

    ¡°Let me go!¡± Hou Ming pulled his stick and infused his internal force in it. He then thumped the stick heavily on the golem¡¯s wrist.

    But the golem was entirely covered in fire. Hou Ming¡¯s internal force was offset by the me.

    On the other hand, Tieh Yuanjiu bellowed angrily too. He gripped the giant rocks around his waist and tried to pry them apart.

    It became a game of tug of war.

    D-tiers around them were stunned by the development.

    ¡°Quick! Stop standing around. Save our chief with frost bombs!¡± Tieh Lei yelled.

    The others reacted andunched the frost grenades frantically. This was not the time to worry about whether the bombs might hurt their chiefs.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The Cinderst Golem was currently unstoppable. A giant fiery ball appeared and intercepted the frost grenades midair. At the same time, he punched down and drowned the two C-tiers into theva.

    Gulp!

    Bubbles fizzled up from the burningva as if those were thest breath of their chiefs.

    ¡°Predecessor!¡±

    ¡°Chief!¡±

    The rest of the users were utterly stunned.

    Bam!

    The two hands of the golem had detached from its main body and pinned the two humans dead inside theva pool. The golem then turned to look at those D-tiers who had attacked him earlier and opened its maw.

    This Cinderst Golem was way more horrifying than the slo-mo golem from earlier.

    Bam!

    Lava poured out from the golem¡¯s mouth and drowned the D-tiers like a giant wave!

 Chapter 634 - We Canâ€™t Stop Someone Elseâ€™s Death Wish

    <h4>Chapter 634: We Can¡¯t Stop Someone Else¡¯s Death Wish</h4>

    Theva waved forward rapidly and instantly submerged more than ten users.

    The temperature of theva was extremely high. Most of the drowned users were ancient warriors, who tried to resist theva with internal energy shields. However, the shieldssted only less than a second and copsed. The scorchingva soon ran over their face and body.

    Runic equipment on them was being burned away rapidly and lethally exposed their bare skins.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    The users shrieked in horror but the shouting vanished rapidly. This was because theva had gushed into their throats.

    ¡°Gulp!¡±

    One after another user was charred by theva and fell to their deaths.

    In the blink of an eye, more than ten aptitude users were killed, including the Hou family¡¯s chief Hou Yangjiao, and the Tieh family¡¯s Tieh Lei.

    Those who escaped were gunners that attacked from long range.

    However, the giant golem did not n on letting them go. It raised its hand and a giant fireball abruptly zoomed toward the gunners.

    ¡°Argh! I don¡¯t want to die!¡±

    The gunners fired at the fireball while retreating desperately. They hadpletely forgotten about their predecessor and chief that were still trapped underneath theva pool.

    Boom!

    The fireball exploded and rocks in it dispersed everywhere. Three gunners were hit and immediately sustained serious injuries.

    ¡°Save... save me!¡±

    Unfortunately, another fireballnded, exploded, and sank the three persons.

    The C-tier Cinderst Golem was not something they could handle.

    Ssh!

    At the pool where Hou Ming and Tieh Yuanjiu were initially drowned, two figures emerged in terrible shape.

    They still had some tricks up their sleeves to stay alive in such a dire situation. Even so, they were both heavily injured as well.

    Dreadfully, the golem had finished dealing with the flies and was turning back to finish off the two main dishes.

    Roar!

    The Cinderst Golem once again extended its arms and grabbed on the two C-tiers¡¯ heads.

    Crack!

    Their necks were snapped with little resistance. Their death was certain this time.

    The pirs of the tworgest ancient warrior families in the North Sea had fallen gracelessly in the hand of the golem.

    In the end, the crusade that arrived mightily was left with only two escaping gunners.

    The Cinderst Golem did not stop there. It opened its maw and began to swallow the fire runes within theva. The rate of its absorption was even faster than Qin Feng¡¯s ability.

    The two cores from the smaller golems were consumed by the giant golem in the end.

    In that short span, the giant golem evolved from C6 to C7-tier. Not only that but more than ten corpses appeared on the ground after theva was gone. Miraculously, the bodies were not melted but were instead wrapped around by ayer of rock.

    The golem opened its hand and leashed out a fiery chain. The chain fastened the bodies up and the golem put the ¡°package¡± on its back. It then paced slowly back to where he came from.

    It finally reached the Cinder Pine after a twenty-minute walk. The golem stacked the bodies right beside the tree trunk. It did not take long for the bodies to catch fire and burn brightly.

    Intriguingly, a mysterious force began to merge with the giant Cinderst Golem.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The giant golem growled intensely. Its power skipped a few levels and directly reached B-tier.

    Furthermore, more than ten fruits were dropped from the Cinder Pine and transformed into mini golems.

    The sacrifice of other intelligent species seemed to elerate the growth of the golem¡¯s offspring.

    Such an evil ritual was captured by the drone and transmitted to Qin Feng¡¯smunicator.

    Even some higher-ups had seen the process too.

    They all gasped in shock.

    ¡°Qin Feng, should we intercept the two D-tiers that had escaped? More people woulde rushing once they hear the news!¡± Zhou Hao said.

    The others could not tell what the egg-sized crystal cores were from such a far distance. But judging by the excited looks on Hou Ming and Tieh Yuanjiu, anyone would understand it had to be something valuable. If the two D-tiers spread the news once they got out of here, a lot of desperados or valiant users would swarm this ce in no time.

    Qin Feng replied expressionlessly, ¡°Let them go. Why should we stop someone else¡¯s death wish? The more the merrier. It just means more fertilizer for the tree.¡±

    Fertilizer?

    They immediately thought about the scene where the golem sacrificed the human to the Cinder Pine.

    Did Qin Feng intend to use the aptitude users to nurture more Cindest Golems?

    What a terrible and inhuman thought!

    On the surface, Qin Feng mostly appeared as a gentle leader that often opted for a more lenient approach. Now only did they realize that Qin Feng had a dark side that they had never discovered before.

    Qin Feng could not care less about what they thought of him. He continued, ¡°I will name this city after Cinderst from today onward.¡±

    There was no objection raised.

    ¡°I will go to rest now. Wake me up if anything happens.¡± Qin Feng promptly left with Bai Li.

    ¡°Yes, Governor!¡±

    ¡°I will see you out.¡±

    ¡°Have a good rest!¡±

    The rest nodded and said nothing. But after Qin Feng had left, discussions buzzed up once again inside the aircraft. Out of sympathy, they paid close attention to the news the whole time.

    The Hou and Tieh families were naturally the first rocked by the news. The two C-tiers were one of the few remaining top-ss users in the family. They now only had two to three C-tiers guarding their base.

    They were in full panic mode.

    ¡°Qin Feng did this on purpose. He didn¡¯t warn us even though he knew how dangerous that ce is. He even left the scene when our troops arrived. What a heartless man!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s true. He has long wanted to rid us from the North Sea.¡±

    ¡°We cannot let him get away with this.¡±

    ¡°Put the news up on the battle. The price of a C1-tier fire-type beast king core is going to send the world into a frenzy.¡±

    They thought that this was the best way to handicap Qin Feng so they spread the news while ignoring the consequences. The news soon broke out and caught a lot of peoples¡¯ attention.

    Those inside the Cinderst City who was still awake had apparently received the update too.

    Some werepassionate enough to issue a warning about the enormous dangers of this ce. They kind-heartedly warned the users not to rush over recklessly unless they were a B-tier.

    However, their warnings werergely ignored. Worse still, their kind warning was being chastised.

    ¡°These people are from the North Sea. Is the governor there trying to monopolize the resource?¡±

    ¡°When will humans ever improve collectively when everyone is trying to hide the good stuff?! Do you know how many people would be saved when all users evolve together? This is no different from murdering the human race!¡±

    ¡°F*cking b*tches who only care about self-interest!¡±

    Of course, not everyone was as radical. Some agreed and felt that they should be more cautious dealing with unknown creatures.

    But seeing one radicalment out of ten was still pretty infuriating.

    ¡°We tried to warn them and this is their response?¡±

    ¡°Our boss is right. Why should we stop them if they seek death?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care anymore. If they want to be fertilizers so badly, so be it!¡±

 Chapter 635 - Chapter 7-tier Conscious Power

    <h4>Chapter 635: C7-tier Conscious Power</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng slept for 12 hours straight. Aptitude users generally had better recovery rates than normal people. It had been a while since Qin Feng had slept for this long.

    He felt rxed after the extended rest. More so, he could vaguely sense that his consciousness was breaking through soon.

    Without any dy, Qin Feng took out the fire-type crystal core equivalent to that of a C1-tier beast king and gripped it tightly.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    Instantaneously, the crystal core vanished in Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    To Qin Feng¡¯s surprise, the crystal core also contained the earth-type element. It flowed into Qin Feng¡¯s Diamond Starglobe along with the fire runes.

    ¡®My Absorption Ability has probably evolved after the Hell Stone was destroyed.¡¯

    In the past, Qin Feng needed to use the Hell Stone to convert the fire runes first before assimting them. Now, the conversion ability of the stone seemed to have merged with his Absorption Ability. Or perhaps, this had always been the unique nature of dark ability.

    Now, the fire runes could directly enter the Diamond Starglobe without any hindrance.

    ¡®This is great. There¡¯s even an earth-type rune now. I wonder whether I can use other runes this way.¡¯

    Qin Feng was enthused.

    He took out another ability core. This one was purple in color.

    Thunder type!

    This element type was the fastest and the most destructive force. It was even faster than the wind type. Qin Feng would benefit greatly if he could master this new ability.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    The ability core again disintegrated rapidly. Numerous runes flowed into his conscious realm.

    However, these runes could not be imprinted onto his starglobe. Instead, the runes were disseminated into the environment.

    It had failed.

    This meant that Qin Feng had wasted a valuable crystal core. But at least he had sessfully upgraded his tier¡ªC7-tier consciousness.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness spread out extensively to cover the entire city.

    If he molded the consciousness into a thin line, it could even extend up to ten kilometers.

    It was at this range that he saw a lot of hovercrafts currently heading toward the Cinder Pine way.

    Qin Feng retracted his consciousness. He fell into deep thought after the initial euphoria of breaking through passed.

    ¡®Perhaps this crystal core is a mixed-type? That¡¯s why I obtained an earth-type rune?¡¯

    ¡®I could obtain fire-type runes in the past because Hell Stonees with mutated fire naturally. Maybe there¡¯s a connection here?¡¯

    ¡®If I want to obtain other abilities, does it mean that I have to find mixed-cores that simultaneously possess fire runes or dark runes with other elements?¡¯

    Based on this logic, Qin Feng could probably control all elements one day.

    Nevertheless, such dual-type cores were extremely rare. It would usually be mutated spontaneously during development.

    But everything was possible in this strange world. Qin Feng vowed to pay closer attention in the future. If anyone could pull this off, it would be Qin Feng.

    If he wished only to advance at a normal pace, Qin Feng could easily upgrade now by swallowing a few more crystal cores. But Qin Feng¡¯s ultimate goal was to be Immortal. He was only at emperor tier now but some A-tier beasts could already be a deity.

    If that were so, there must be a deity ss among humans too.

    The more he considered, the more convoluted it became. Qin Feng had never met a beast deity in his previous life.

    There were so many things to consider. Way too many!

    ¡°Sigh! I should stop thinking about it. Let¡¯s go and check out the situation.¡±

    Qin Feng got up and did not see the little fox around. Something felt odd.

    He switched on themunicator and called Bai Li. After Bai Li answered the call, Qin Feng figured that she was currently inside the office.

    ¡°Why are you over at the office and not resting?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°I am not sleepy. Someone is looking for trouble here.¡± Bai Li rarely felt exhausted. Besides, Qin Feng had frequently asked Bai Li to rest in the aircraft throughout the past week.

    Qin Feng furrowed at the second sentence. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Who is looking for trouble?¡± Qin Feng said coldly.

    Bai Li answered, ¡°Probably from the Dark Coalition. A C-tier was here with some random guys and didn¡¯t pay for their meal. I gave them a good beating and threw them over to the Cinder Pine!¡±

    ¡°Hey, my little fox is unexpectedly capable!¡± Qin Fengplimented Bai Li with a grin.

    Bai Li raised her chin and said, ¡°Of course! They are messing with the wrong person!¡±

    Qin Feng almostughed out loud but he held it down. ¡°I will be there soon. You help me to take care of things over there first!¡±

    ¡°Okay. I am keeping a close eye over here.¡± Bai Li nodded with all seriousness.

    Inside the hall, everyone was looking at each other helplessly. They asked for Bai Li¡¯s help earlier and she proceeded to kill a C-tier aptitude user with ease.

    Within the next twelve hours, more ability users popped up in the city trying to gather intel about the Cinder Pine.

    A few hot-tempered users were being rude toward the citizens. Bai Li turned up and instantly beat them down. They needed to know who the boss was around here.

    Aptitude users had great responsibility so it wasmon for them to be arrogant towardmoners. Bai Li¡¯s unconventional act had surprisingly garnered a lot of praise and gratitude.

    Hence, Bai Li returned to the office building very much satisfied and waited for another troublemaker to show up in front of the surveince camera.

    After Bai Li flexed her muscles, aptitude users that came to the city started behaving better, especially the D-tiers.

    Even Qin Feng had praised her despite not knowing what happened in the city. Bai Li was especially proud of herself.

    After hanging up, Qin Feng went to shower and then walked out from the newly built vi. He reached the office of Cinderst City in less than ten minutes.

    Along the way, Qin Feng could see that the city had been set in motion. A lot of people were busy but putting up a bright smile. The life around here seemed to bemendable.

    This was owing to good confidentiality measures done by Qin Feng¡¯s management group. Though there was some chaos when the rift first appeared, things had turned back to normal in recent days.

    If the city was really in grave danger, the cmity would have long befallen them. But seven dayster and they had not heard the rm once. They reckoned it was probably not a huge threat.

    Life inside the city went on no matter how dangerous the outside world might be. People in here had seemingly forgotten about the dangerous creatures currently lingering around the border.

    They were happy enough to have so many aptitude users visiting the city. Ie had grown exponentially especially for restaurants and hotel owners. Aptitude users had always been generous despite being hard to please.

 Chapter 636 - Crowded

    <h4>Chapter 636: Crowded</h4>

    ¡®A greater boom ising for this city in the future!¡¯

    Qin Feng had reached the city surveince room as he thought so.

    One of the walls in this room was fully lined with monitors. They were showing the live feeds of the Cinder Pine from all angles.

    The pine might be conscious but it paid no attention to the drones. The Cinderst Golems were not very bright so they ignored the drones too. This allowed the humans to set up aplete surveince system.

    In the meantime, a few groups had entered the golems¡¯ territory.

    ¡°Another batch here to die!¡±

    ¡°Hmph. Those from the Hou and Tieh family did this on purpose. They didn¡¯t reveal the nature of these golems. This put others in grave danger!¡±

    ¡°I wouldn¡¯t have told them too. They have to bear the risk themselves.¡±

    ¡°These few over here are from the Dark Coalition. They didn¡¯t pass through our city.¡±

    ¡°Take note of them. Don¡¯t let them enter the city during restoration.¡±

    People in the room were exchanging words softly. They saluted Qin Feng when they saw him walk through the door.

    ¡°Governor!¡±

    ¡°President!¡±

    ¡°Have you rested well?¡±

    ¡°They are here already?¡± Qin Feng nodded back and asked, ¡°Help me to ring Xue Xingfu and ask him about the production of frost bombs. Is the production line set up? This is a good time to sell them!¡±

    Qin Feng had been secretive about this ce so there was no factory set up near Cinderst City. However, he had ordered Xue Xingfu to manufacture the bombs beforehand and had them delivered here. The high demand for this product here would boost its price by several folds aspared to the outside market.

    This would make a good business once the ce was crowded with aptitude users from all over the world.

    ¡°The first batch just reached not long ago. The promotion is already ongoing. The production is up and running too,¡± Guo Guan answered.

    Qin Feng was pleased as he nodded. The others greatly admired Qin Feng¡¯s business mind. He did not sell the end product, fire core, but instead supplied the tool, frost bomb. What a brilliant idea!

    Wang Chen walked over and said, ¡°Governor, the deaths of the chiefs of the Tieh and Hou family have been confirmed. It¡¯s only a matter of time that the two families will crumble now without a strong leader. Should we take over their businesses and assets? I heard that the Yang family is eager to do something.¡±

    Qin Feng frowned and said coldly, ¡°What arge appetite. Don¡¯t let them get any of it. Besides, ask them to pay up all the taxes they owe us.¡±

    Unlike the others, the Yang family was maintaining a good rtionship with Qin Feng. However, they had been testing Qin Feng¡¯s patience recently. For instance, they had not been very cooperative on the tax payment and kept dying. Now that there was an opportunity, they had the face to want a piece?!

    ¡®Am I Santa us?¡¯

    Them hoarding the resources was the major reason why the North Sea was so underdeveloped. Qin Feng would no longer tolerate such selfish behavior!

    ¡°Yes, Governor. I will deal with it now!¡± Wang Chen tended to the matters immediately.

    Qin Feng turned back to the monitor. After his twelve hours of sleep, the number of Cinderst Golems had expanded to three thousand. Furthermore, another one thousand golems had grown into four meters and entered C-tier. B-tiers had increased by twenty too.

    They must have caught more humans and sacrificed them to the sacred tree.

    The most troublesome part was that the golems¡¯ territory had erged by another one kilometer. Rocks and trees around the area were almost wiped clean.

    These golems had been working day and night and showed little sign of lethargy.

    The Cinder Pine had grown up to two hundred meters. As it grew exponentially, so did the number of newborn golems.

    ¡°Set three aircrafts to guard the city. Bai Li will stay here too. I will go do the sweeping alone.¡±

    ¡°Roger that, President!¡±

    ¡°Please be careful!¡±

    ¡°We will fully support you from the backline.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and went up to the rooftop. He then headed to the territory in the Sky Dweller.

    The humans inside the territory were still rtively sparse. But when he approached the Cinder Pine, Qin Feng saw that a golem was about to offer a human to the tree.

    The tree absorbed the life force from the human and erupted.

    It was like a glorious firework.

    Qin Feng stopped short as the Sky Dweller was a little too close to the tree.

    Numerous sparks from the burning tree sprinkled up to the air and then plummeted rapidly. It hit on the ground and did not transform into mini golems this time. Instead, the sparks turned into one after anotherrgeva pool.

    The emptynd immediately turned into arge scaleke filled with not water but red hotva.

    The Cinderst Golems seemed to like the new environment a lot. They eagerly jumped into theke and bathed in it.

    Qin Feng quickly turned to one of the smallerkes andunched a frost grenade.

    Theva pool was frozen rapidly and turned into orange soils. A quail egg-sized crystal core appeared in the middle of the frozenva.

    This was the concentrated energy of the spark. Allva spurted out by the Cinder Pine contained its energy. Once cooled off, the energy would crystallize into a core of this size.

    Though smaller, each core still contained enough energy to equal a C-tier core. Its price was one over five the golem¡¯s core, but still worth roughly 5 billion.

    Besides, these pools were not at all dangerous aspared to the Cinderst Golems.

    It was basically free to take.

    Qin Feng was perhaps the only one that knew this info right now.

    In his memory, this was exactly the magnificent scene he saw on the battle in his past life.

    Lava pools were all around the ce. Aptitude users threaded through thesekes carefully. Several Cinderst Golems might suddenly pop up from thekes if they ever let their guards down.

    Eventually, all thekes disappeared in the end and the Cinder Pine was also demolished. But it would take several months from now for that to happen.

    Right now, Qin Feng wanted to use this natural advantage to lure more people to this ¡°gold mine¡±. His purpose was to elerate the development of Cinderst City.

    A few months from now, Qin Feng believed that this ce would be a location even more popr than Longchuan.

    But that was in the future. Right now, he would gain as much profit as possible. After all, he was the first to start this gold rush in this life.

    Qin Feng surveyed the area from the top and saw a few figures after a halfp around the tree.

    These people were the Dark Coalition members they saw through the surveince cam earlier.

    Their aptitude user badges were ck in color. Themunicators on their wrists were different from the normal ones too. They did not bother to hide their actual identity and walked out brazenly. Their sights were set on none other than Qin Feng.

 Chapter 637 - Undesirable Kill

    <h4>Chapter 637: Undesirable Kill</h4>

    Obviously, those people did not know who Qin Feng was.

    Although Qin Feng was equipped with luxuriousbat armor that was made from the Magical Tesseract as well as the Sacred Armor, in the eyes of the others, those were absolutely not rune equipment. He was just seen as a gunner that had weaponries on each hand, a hand grenade and a dposing ster.

    There was only a C-tier badge on his chest, meanwhile, everyone from the group that approached were all above C3-tier.

    ¡°Little kid, did you just spend half a day here? Seems like a rewarding loot you have there!¡±

    The group that approached provoked Qin Feng as they realized that he was holding onto a dposing ster, obviously, they were a little fearful.

    Qin Feng frowned.

    He took a nce at those people and noticed that they were all aptitude users from the Dark Coalition, and it had instantly diminished his intention to maintain any act of politeness.

    Qin Feng raised the hand grenade on one hand while he aimed the ster toward his opponent and pulled the trigger.

    Boom!

    A frosty blue bomb was instantly sted out.

    Those people from the Dark Coalition were caught off guard by Qin Feng¡¯s bold move, and were instantly infuriated by his sudden attack.

    ¡°Little kid, you have got the guts!¡±

    ¡°This is just pure snobbery, take this...ah??¡±

    Among those people from the Dark Coalition, there was a C4-tier ability user, and two C2-tier gunners, and they thought that it was as easy as pie for them to take Qin Feng down.

    As soon as the bomb was sted out at a moderate speed, all three of their conscious energies tried to invade and interfere with the frost bomb and repulse it back.

    Unfortunately, as the bomb got closer, they did not even have the time to proim the first word of theirmand!

    Bad move!

    Their conscious energy was definitely iparable against Qin Feng¡¯s!

    ¡°Damn, what are you guys doing?¡± Several ancient warriors noticed that theirrades were bottlenecked with their reddened faces, yet the bomb was still closing in. They instantly realized that the situation had gone wrong and they began to yell at the top of their lungs.

    Meanwhile, their internal strength shields were instantly activated, and the frost bomb was just a blink of an eye away.

    Boom!

    The sound of explosion from the frost bomb was much more deafening than other ordinary bombs, the area was then shrouded with frosty ice that rained down like ice shards.

    The frost bomb that was used by Qin Feng was obviously different from thosemon ones that were widely essible. Despite its seemingly limited power, Qin Feng only needed one for every of his attacks to put off the magma pools, it was definitely overpowered!

    Swoosh!

    Crack!

    The constant chaotic icy shards rained down echoed along with angry curses from the others. Although it was already winter, the freezing effect from the frost bomb felt like it was colder than the surroundings by tenfold.

    All of a sudden, everyone waspletely frozen on their own spots.

    Their internal strength shields were crushed, the aptitude users were incapable of escaping. The gunners were frozen still, despite being equipped with countless numbers of bombs and versatile conscious energy, it was surprising that their fingers were unable to react and reach the triggers.

    Qin Feng raised up his dposing ster.

    Vroom!

    An array of glittering light sparked and formed into the shape of a fan as it swept across horizontally.

    ¡°Get out of my way!¡±

    Qin Feng mocked with an emotionless tone.

    There were already more than ten dead enemy bodies before him.

    Meanwhile, members from Cinderst City who were observing through the surveince recordings had witnessed the scene. Although Qin Feng¡¯s face was not clearly seen, they were all shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s machinery skills that had exploded instantly.

    It was quick, powerful, and unavoidable.

    All of them had been doubtful of the rise of professional gunners, and Qin Feng seemed to have done it effortlessly.

    ¡°Continue the surveince, stop the hesitation, if it was not because of such a great amount of conscious energy from the president, the bomb would have been taken over and repulsed!¡± Wang Chen exined.

    All of a sudden, the crowd came to a moment of realization and understood that Wang Chen was right.

    Qin Feng activated his conscious energy and collected all the runes from the dead members of the Dark Coalition, while their corpses were ignored and left on the ground.

    Qin Feng tried to make every second count and continued to seize small-sized magma pools; soon, the dead bodies that were left on the ground were discovered by the Cinderst Golems and taken away as offerings.

    For Qin Feng, the sudden fall of magma was definitely a free reward for him. However, the others had not noticed the difference in the magma, and all they cared about was the Cinder Pine that was idle and their opportunity to venture deeper.

    However, the next Cinderst Golem that they had encountered was totally different from those that they had encountered before!

    The ad hoc team that was formed by several C-tiers was just passing by a magma pool, the surrounding was dead silent, while the path was in poor condition and filled with potholes, but there was nothing else there to block their vision.

    They felt slightly rxed as they had not noticed the presence of any other creatures around.

    However, as they were about to walk past the magma pool, a sudden magma wave rose up and mmed onto them. They were drowned by the wave that was then drawn back, dragging them into the magma pool.

    ¡°Ah! No!!!¡±

    ¡°Run!¡±

    ¡°I do not want to die!¡±

    The few of them cried out, and without caring about the others, they began to run out as fast as they could.

    However, there were three gigantic Cinderst Golems that had appeared from the magma pool.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    All three of the golems were howling while mes were spitting out from their widely opened mouths.

    All three corners were targeted and the entire area was covered by mes that were spit out, there was no way for them to escape!

    Rune equipment was shattered, internal strength shields were destroyed, and the energy within their machinery shields were instantly depleted!

    In the absence of all of their defence mechanisms, all they could do was to wait for death toe upon them.

    Such bizarre and unexpected scenes were constantly repeated.

    There were less than seven teams that had gone to the territory of the Cinderst Golems, and there were about eighty of them, however, there were only about twenty of them who had managed to survive by keeping a safe distance and remaining cautious.

    The others were all dead.

    All of a sudden, everyone that hade with excitement felt like they were shamed and got a massive p on the face.

    The Cinderst Golems were indeed easy targets to kill, provided that they were alone and not within the magma area.

    Unfortunately, after the Cinder Pine had sted out the pools of magma, the people no longer had the chance to easily secure their victory.

    Qin Feng circled around the territory of the Cinderst Golems and he had seized more than a hundred magma pools in varied sizes.

    But it was impossible for Qin Feng topletely hide his movements from the others, the remaining teams that had fortunately survived also began to spread out and look for magma pools to secure their wealth.

    For the C-tiers, it would only require ammunition that was worth a billion to freeze a magma pool, however, the instant return from it was worth five billion, and it was not associated with any risk at all.

    It was a trade that could yield a return of a whopping five folds, who would not be tempted by such a lucrative deal?

    Hence, despite the significant death counts, the number of people that flocked to Cinderst City was still growing. Everyone was striving to be the first, and some had even started to acquire spatial waymarks so that they could be the fastest to arrive.

    Qin Feng certainly knew about the situation. Since it was still not too crowded, he continued with his ughter and tried to get as much profit as he could.

    The annihtion thatsted through day and night went on for twenty hours, Qin Feng had killed more than a thousand C-tier Cinderst Golems to put a halt on their growing numbers, only then he went back to Cinderst City to get some rest.

    Meanwhile, a powerful figure had emerged within the Cinderst City.

    A B-tier aptitude user had appeared.

 Chapter 638 - Probing of B-tier

    <h4>Chapter 638: Probing of B-tier</h4>

    Qin Feng was able to recognize the first batch of B-tiers that was there as they were stationed at Beihua City, the city had spatial waymarks that were used to support the other thirteen states. It was no surprise that they were first to be there as they had been panic buying spatial waymarks.

    Surprisingly, three of them were acquaintances that were well known by Qin Feng.

    Fu Wenjue, He Liming, and also the guardian of the abyss, Yang Bei.

    It turned out that all three of them were involved in practical missions. Fu Wenjue was heavily injured from a previous besiege mission, although he was still recovering, there should not be a problem for him in handling a C-tier ultra beast.

    He Liming had been staying within Beihua City for months.

    Meanwhile, Yang Bei had been stationed at the northern region abyss, and since Qin Feng¡¯s departure from the abyss, it had been exceptionally peaceful. Any brief investigation would definitely reveal that Qin Feng¡¯s excessive killings had transformed the northern region abyss into a quiet ce. Since Yang Bei was no longer needed there, he immediately took up the opportunity and left the abyss.

    However, as soon as they arrived, there were three gigantic aircrafts that were above in the skybelled with the name of Fengli, the appearance of the aircrafts had caught them off guard.

    ¡°Seems like Qin Feng is already here?¡±

    ¡°Why do I feel something unusual?¡±

    ¡°The North Sea state is under Qin Feng¡¯s territory, and it¡¯s normal to have his organization¡¯s aircraft here.¡±

    However, as soon as they had checked into the hotel, secret whispers between the staff were overheard by them.

    ¡°Oh my, did you see that? A B-tier aptitude user!¡±

    ¡°Wasn¡¯t that just an ordinary looking person? With one nose and a pair of eyes!¡±

    Three of them were left speechless by the conversation. However, it was understandable that themoners might not have seen any B-tiers in their entire lifetime. All three of them were much older and well-mannered, they would not be bothered about themoners.

    ¡°Stop this nonsense, they are all human beings. However, it is unclear whenpared to Governor Qin, who would be more powerful.¡±

    ¡°It has to be the governor, I have heard about Governor Qin going against B-tiers, and he could kill any of them easily!¡±

    ¡°So powerful!¡±

    ¡°Of course, or else how could he establish this city single-handedly? Some have even described the horrifying situation outside the city, and the governor was able to withstand the threat for seven days straight!¡±

    ¡°Feels like there is still a lot for me to learn, fortunately, the governor has built such a city, and from now on, we can be within the safe zone!¡±

    For a rural state that did not have any threats, even the appearance of a C-tier would already be considered as a rare asion.

    Ever since the residents that originated from around Cinderst City had moved into the city, it was definitely an eye-opening encounter for them. It was no wonder the two youngdies would be caught up in such a continuous chatter that was filled with excitement.

    Cinderst City was no longer the same, C-tiers were roaming around, and the number of D-tiers was in excess.

    With the presence of B-tier aptitude users, themoners who originated from small-sized colonies that had been fearful of E-tier aptitude users and looked up to F-tiers would no longer view them in the same way!

    It was an indication of the strengthening of the city.

    Of course, they were still being respectful toward the aptitude users, but there was not any fear, as it had been ovee by their strong sense of belonging. They would view them as their reliable support instead.

    And it was exactly because of Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, the three B-tiers who had overheard the conversation of thedies were shocked.

    ¡°Such a coincidence, this city, built by Qin Feng?¡± Fu Wenjue¡¯s expression turned as white as a sheet as he frowned and asked.

    ¡°It must be, we were also rushing over from Qin City, this city looks new and clean, and it is not connected to any spatial waymark!¡± He Liming was also struck dumb.

    ¡°What an inscrutable turn of events!¡±

    Yang Bai could only exim hisment on the chosen one, the one who had fate in his favor. Upon his return to the North Sea state, he was able to randomly establish a city where an unexpected opportunity had then descended from above.

    Was that not extraordinary luck? What could be more extraordinary?

    ¡°Let¡¯s get in touch with Qin Feng! Since we are already at his ce!¡±

    Among the three of them, He Liming was the closest to Qin Feng, therefore, he was the one who contacted Qin Feng¡¯smunicator.

    Qin Feng quickly answered the call, and he was not surprised to hear about He Liming¡¯s arrival.

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°Brother He, please wait for a short while, I¡¯ll be there right away!¡±

    Actually, Qin Feng had already been informed by his subordinates on the arrival of the B-tiers, however, Qin Feng did not mind about their intention on resource looting. He was just afraid of putting his old acquaintances in an awkward situation, hence, he had chosen not to reach out to them proactively.

    However, it appeared that all three of them were being transparent.

    The timing was just right, Qin Feng was not out hunting and within ten minutes, he was already at the hotel booked by the three of them. They were seated at the lobby while getting a grasp of the situation via theirmunicators.

    They had also immediately noticed Qin Feng¡¯s arrival.

    It had only been three months since theyst saw Qin Feng, however, now that they were meeting him again, all three of them were sensing immense pressure from Qin Feng.

    Three months earlier when Qin Feng was at Beihua City to stop the beast wave, he was only a C2-tier aptitude user.

    However, he had now achieved B-tier ancient warrior internal strength, C7-tier conscious energy, and his well-built physical appearance was already at C6-tier.

    There were at least four tier differences between C2 and C6-tier. As the B-tiers recalled, it had taken them more than tens years toplete the advancement journey, and surprisingly, Qin Feng had done it within four months.

    Such a talent was insanely shocking!

    ¡°Brother Qin, your current capability is really unpredictable!¡± He Liming immediately said.

    Qin Feng shook their hands and greeted all three of them, ¡°Brother, you look good, also Master Fu, and General Yang!¡±

    Fu Wenjue forced a smile and shook his head. ¡°You are really kidding me, I definitely do not look good now!¡±

    ¡°You are still able to move around freely, that is definitely good for you!¡±

    ¡°Haha, true, I feel fortunate to still be alive now!¡± Fu Wenjue seemed to still be traumatised by the past events.

    Qin Feng smiled and continued, ¡°Forget about the hotel, in this newly established city of mine, I do have some vis avable, I can permanently reserve one for all of you.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s a good idea, it really feels annoying to stay here, let¡¯s go!¡± He Liming did not hesitate to ept the generous offer, after all, they were different from other C-tiers. Also, the others might have different opinions on them if they were to be seen there, and they might be caught up in unnecessary problems!

    Qin Feng arranged a vi to amodate all three of them, and they then casually visited Qin Feng¡¯s manor, they seemed to have ignored the ongoing external threats.

    However, all three of them had still asked Qin Feng about his situation.

    Qin Feng was also truthful and direct, and they were then struck dumb by Qin Feng¡¯s answer.

    ¡°Surprisingly, the battle was publishing the truth, how could those ordinary Cinderst Golems produce C1-tier beast king ability cores? This is...¡±

    Qin Feng exined, ¡°Those are justmon items for B-tiers, but it is the total opposite for C-tiers, and it would solely depend on their luck; as the current geographical situation is stillplicated over there, the ce that was previously a heatnd is still hidden with unidentified number of dark influences. It could even be the grey area that is under the control of the Dark Coalition!¡±

    Hence, it was the reason that had driven the unbridled activities of the members from the dark organisations.

    He Liming frowned and eximed, ¡°It seems like this would not be a peaceful ce in the future, what are your thoughts, Qin Feng?¡±

    Actually, all three of them were concerned about Qin Feng¡¯s intention to keep the opportunity to only himself!

    With Qin Feng¡¯s capability, he could possibly do so!

 Chapter 639 - Human Offerings

    <h4>Chapter 639: Human Offerings</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s n was obviously to conquer everything by himself, but it was still not the right time.

    Therefore, Qin Feng exined, ¡°That Cinder Pine looks suspicious, it can devour anything, and after absorbing dead human bodies, it can even produce Cinderst Golems. In my opinion, in such a situation, the best way is to take it down as soon as possible to cut short the suffering!¡±

    All three of them were assured by the statement, it seemed like their trip there was not wasted.

    He Liming continued, ¡°That¡¯s great, I¡¯m afraid that there are a bunch of people that would like to gain some benefits from this!¡±

    Qin Feng understood the hint, but he remained calm in his answer. ¡°Yes, I only hope to eliminate the threat as soon as possible, nothing else!¡±

    The three of them carried on with their discussion, and perhaps it was because of the huge temptation, three of them could not wait to take a look outside. Hence, all of them went out without much of a dy.

    Qin Feng stood on the second floor of the vi, his expression seemed calm, but his heart was pounding.

    ¡°If only the situation is that simple! Perhaps, they are not expecting things to have evolved so drastically!¡±

    It had proven that all three of them were too na?ve.

    Gathering of people with different interests would often bring shes, and when profits were associated, killings would take ce.

    On the first day, He Liming and the others were swift in their killings, although they were not as powerful as Qin Feng, it was still easy for them to take down two hundred C-tier Cinderst Golems each.

    It was a whopping six trillion each day, when recalled in the early days of Quong Po, it was equivalent to all he had. Not only that, he would be left with nothing after the purchase of a B-tier beast emperor material.

    Meaning to say, with all that money, all of their rune equipment could be switched and upgraded to the next level.

    Such an upgrade would definitely bring shocking results.

    Also, it was just the first day.

    However, there were another five B-tier aptitude users that had arrived the next day.

    Another nine on the third day.

    Another thirteen on the fourth day.

    Within just four days, the Cinderst Golem territory was already packed with approximately thirty B-tiers, and it was insanely horrifying.

    Even at the Dusan Basin, during the peak season of the spring insectoid wave, there were only ten B-tiers present at a time!

    The Cinderst Golems were definitely valuable and highly sought after, however, there were only about ten thousands of them.

    What would be the solution then?

    A resolution was swiftly made by the B-tiers, the three-kilometre area would be equally divided, and each of them would have their own designated area to hunt.

    Any B-tiers that joined inter would have to fight for their slot.

    It was because not every B-tier would take part in the matter of upying territories.

    There were sixteen B-tiers from the Dark Coalition, fourteen from the Human Alliance, and the neers would have to fight for the territories of their opponents, and every encounter would then lead to the eruption of a battle.

    Under such aplicated situation, most of them were engaged into battle, although they were still being cautious and restricted, there were still two deaths that had urred.

    Within four days, the Cinderst Golem territory had be unexpectedly smallerpared to the previous three-kilometre radius, only the surrounding area of the Cinder Pine was left, and almost all of the Cinderst Golems had been killed.

    The grounds were devastated with unpleasant looking pot holes that were left from previous magma pools, and the aftermath of the disaster was revolting.

    B-tiers that had arrived earlier would have definitely benefited, and those that cameter could only hold on to their resentment and thepletely scavenged area.

    Meanwhile, within a private room of a luxurious hotel in Cinderst City, sixteen people had gathered together. Fourteen of them were B-tiers, and it was a contradicting moment when two of the remaining C-tiers were sitting on the chairman seats, they were none other than Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    ¡°Everyone, now that the Cinderst Golems have disappeared, only the Cinder Pine is left behind, with its current gigantic size of approximately three hundred meters in height, I often feel that evolvement of the oue would go out of control, why not we join our forces to take down the Cinder Pine?¡± Qin Feng suggested.

    Some of them agreed, while some of them were obviously unhappy about it.

    Although they knew nothing about the reward that mighte after the eradication of the Cinder Pine, however, they were certainly dissatisfied about the current situation.

    ¡°Governor Qin has his point, it is because of Governor Qin and Miss Bai that we are able to sustain ourpetition against the Dark Coalition. However, the Cinder Pine is a bizarre and rare encounter!¡±

    ¡°Yes, the Cinder Pine is able to grow by consuming offerings, surprisingly, it can consume anything as well. Perhaps if we move in and offer some rocks, it could even reproduce something else inrge amounts!¡±

    As soon as the sentence ended, everyone seemed to be intrigued by the idea, and some were even tempted to try it.

    However, Qin Feng let out a mockingugh and answered, ¡°Is that true? Perhaps all of you might not have noticed the sudden spike in temperature that has taken ce recently!¡±

    ¡°Oh? Has it?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think so, perhaps the beginning of the spring season is near!¡±

    It was only February, and the North Sea state would usually be at negative ten to twenty degree Celsius, it should be in its winter season with asional snow. However, the temperature had already risen to about positive ten degree celsius. Aptitude users who were unaffected by temperature change would definitely be unaware of it, but the clothing attire of themoners have changed.

    Bai Li had also taken the opportunity to change into her butterfly emperor long dress, and she looked even more stunning in it. Everyone present were B-tiers that knew her true powers, even those two B-tiers that had died were both killed by Bai Li.

    Qin Feng exined, ¡°To be honest, eradicating the Cinder Pine would be for a good cause, and I believe all of you are familiar with my girlfriend¡¯s capabilities and her excellent spatial ability. Even without it, we could still trail back to the previous traces of the rift to activate the spatial passage, bear in mind that it would be equivalent to exploring another unknown region, if that unknown region is also filled with such creatures...¡±

    By that time, they could kill as many as they wished.

    Hence, the B-tier aptitude users were a little convinced by the idea.

    It was at that moment; Qin Feng was alerted by the sudden beeping of hismunicator.

    ¡°Qin Feng, something bad has happened!¡± All of a sudden, Zhou Hao shouted.

    Qin Feng was stunned, and before he could ask further, Zhou Hao had already poured out everything that he wanted to say.

    ¡°It is the group from the Dark Coalition, they are bringing at least five massively-sized passenger hovercrafts, they are all filled with people, and they are now dumping them down in the direction of the Cinder Pine!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression instantly changed.

    ¡°Understood, I¡¯ll be there immediately!¡±

    Qin Feng did not hide that information from the others, and all of them were also shocked to receive such sudden news.

    All they had thought of was to throw in stones and trees, and they had missed out the idea of throwing in humans!

    However, the enhanced effect of the intelligent species on the Cinder Pine would undoubtedly be insanely impactful.

    ¡°Bai Li, let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng had no time to care about the varied views of the others, and he did not wish to continue the discussion with them either, he immediatelymanded Bai Li and teleported.

    Swoosh!

    Qin Feng and Bai Li had already left the hotel, they were instantly relocated to a pitch-ck surrounding in the wilderness.

    Under the dark sky, there was a brightly lit area at a far off distance, and when looked from afar, the umbre-shaped tree was still visible.

    Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh!

    Within the blink of an eye, Qin Feng had already gotten close to it.

    There were indeed five massively-sized passenger hovercrafts that were in the sky, they were about the same as the hover trains, one of them could carry at least a hundred passengers.

    The cabin doors of the hovercrafts were then opened up, and shadows of human bodies were being dumped continuously onto the Cinder Pine!

    ¡°Ah ah ah!¡±

    Horrifyingly miserable shrieks echoed across the night sky.

 Chapter 640 - Rescue

    <h4>Chapter 640: Rescue</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned grim when he saw what was happening.

    These human sacrifices might have been the people the Dark Coalition kidnapped from the viges in the area. It could also be their own people that were living in their own territories.

    To be frank, he knew about this incident before he was reborn.

    The Human Alliance, naturally, was disgusted by this and openly criticized this action. Over a dozen B-tiers¡¯ names were pinned on the bounty list and these poor sods were hunted wherever they went.

    Some of them even got chased out of the Huaxia Alliance¡¯s borders. And the B-tiers from the Human Alliance that were in the scene too were brought in for questioning and punished. Why did they not stop these murderers from doing what they were doing¡ªit was because they themselves wanted to hunt the Cinderst Golems. As such, they waited until the Dark Coalition was done with their human sacrifice offering before attacking.

    Resources were scarce.

    These golems were resources. And their materials were quite valuable.

    As such, these people from the Human Alliance had thrown away their good conscience after realizing that they had something to gain if they simply closed one eye, for just a short moment.

    And this time, Qin Feng had information about the location of the incident. And thus, he acted first and hunted the Cinderst Golems. Things were supposed to have changed.

    Yet, these Dark Coalition jerks still showed up and did things like this.

    Of course, this time they were not able to bring as many human sacrifices as he remembered. Qin Feng remembered from the report that they had at least brought five thousand people to sacrifice them to the Cinder Pine.

    Now, due to the limited time they had, they could not prepare that many human sacrifices.

    Regardless, the number of people they were throwing down there was still obscenely enormous. Qin Feng must stop them before the horrifying history repeats itself again.

    So, as soon as the Dark Coalition began their operation, Qin Feng acted right away.

    Fifty people were thrown down to the Cinder Pine¡ªtheir bodies were pierced through by the tree branches, killing them on the spot before the fire had even started burning their flesh. As the corpses were burning, a Cinder Flower had borne its fruit and dropped it down to the ground. New Cinderst Golems were born one by one.

    In a wink of an eye, about sixty Cinderst Golems had appeared before everyone¡¯s eyes. The B-tiers were overjoyed when they saw this. These human sacrifices were worth very little in their eyes. Thus, exchanging one worthless life for 5 billion was a very good deal.

    ¡°You human filth!!!¡±

    Qin Feng bellowed out furiously as he extended his Blue Fire Wings and darted to the sky.

    Of course, these B-tiers knew who he was. Their faces turned grim instantly when they saw him.

    ¡°Quick! Stop him!¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t allow him to ruin our n!¡±

    ¡°Just kill him. This kid is the governor of the North Sea State. That new city was also founded by him. After killing him, we could sacrifice an entire city to these trees! That¡¯s a whole lot of easy money for us, you know.¡±

    They knew that the Human Alliance did not have enough manpower to handle the safety of a small backwater ce like this.

    With the Human Alliance retracting their aptitude users from these ces and reassigning them to other much more dangerous areas, the Dark Coalition had more room to navigate around here. This included calling in more reinforcement.

    The Dark Coalition had a lot of time on their hands after all.

    ¡°Yeah! Let¡¯s kill him!¡±

    ¡°This moron came alone! What a golden opportunity!¡±

    ¡°This is what he gets for sticking his nose into others¡¯ business!¡±

    ¡°Well, to be fair, it¡¯s his job toe handle this ce¡¯s security.¡±

    ¡°Job? Only idiots would care about these stupid responsibilities!¡±

    Thus, sixteen men leaped into the air to face Qin Feng.

    ¡°Die!!!¡±

    The ancient warriors wielded their weapons as they leaped into the air.

    ¡°Stop them!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Bai Li instantly warped to the air and whipped out a dash of silver ray.

    ¡°Teleportation!¡±

    Whoosh Whoosh Whooosh!!

    Four B-tiers were teleported to the ground in an instant. They looked around and were surprised to find out that they were sent five thousand meters away from where they were. It would take them quite some time to hurry back to the scene.

    Bai Li snapped her fingers and a huge silver chest appeared in the air and boxed in three aptitude users.

    Then, she darted in the air like the wind, taking on a dozen men. Although she was not able to stop them all at once, Bai Li did buy Qin Feng enough time to fly toward the hovercraft.

    Cannon shells were fired at him as he got closer.

    However, in the blink of an eye, Qin Feng had vanished!

    ¡°Wha... What?! Where did he go?¡±

    The C-tier that was piloting the hovercraft panicked when he lost his target. Cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

    This man knew about how powerful Qin Feng was because he had spent some time in the area. The young man was, at first, a governor of this backwater state. Yet, after several people tried to taunt and bring trouble to his turf, these people had all suffered the consequences and were never heard of since.

    And now, as seconds went by, he saw that Qin Feng was able to fight B-tiers head on. Bai Li had already in two B-tiers in the fight too.

    The poor C-tier gunner would not want to take on a fearsome enemy like this.

    Now, seeing that Qin Feng had vanished into thin air, all he could do now was panic.

    Then, a loud explosion could be heard from ahead.

    Boom!

    The bulletproof ss of the cockpit was smashed into pieces before a silhouette zipped next to him.

    It was Qin Feng!

    ¡°Aaargh!!¡±

    The C-tier cried out in horror. He did not even have the time to pull out his weapon before the golden rune equipment shed through his head.

    Thud!

    His head rolled on the floor as soon as the golden saber shed through his neck.

    Wasting no time, Qin Feng quickly ran his fingers on the cockpit¡¯s keys. In no time, the hovercraft started to descend to the ground.

    Then, Qin Feng opened the cockpit door to scan the entire craft with his conscious energy.

    There were only five C-tiers onboard. Now that he had in the pilot, there were only four left.

    Whoosh!

    Qin Feng appeared behind a C-tier like a phantom and stabbed his golden rune sabre into the man¡¯s heart.

    Then, in a quick vertical sh, he was able to hit another C-tier ancient warrior.

    Crush!

    The ancient warrior¡¯s internal energy shield was crushed in an instant.

    ¡°Arggh! It¡¯s Qin Feng!¡±

    A C-tier cried out in fear as his internal force burst forth from his body. In under a second, green vines grew out of his body, wanting to grab Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng red at him with his conscious energy and sent a wave of mes at him. In a bat of an eye, all the vines were burned to crisp.

    As the mes were still ckering in the air, Qin Feng wielded his golden rune sabre and struck like the wind. His foes were blinded by the bright mes so they could not respond properly. Not only that, even if they could respond, Qin Feng was too quick for them to fight back anyway.

    Fwoosh!

    An aptitude user¡¯s neck was stabbed. Then, another. And another.

    Three men¡¯s necks were stabbed by Qin Feng like a meat skewer in one hit.

    Thest C-tier saw that the odds were now stacked against him; so, he opted to open the craft¡¯s door and jumped out. He was done. He was not going to lose his life fighting with this powerful governor!

    Qin Feng did not bother to pursue him. Instead, he ran out of the hovercraft and climbed straight to the roof.

    He took less than ten seconds to murder the crap out of the four men in the craft. As such, the hovercraft had only flown about ten meters during the time he killed all of these men.

    Qin Feng umted his internal energy and leaped into the air! It was a several dozen meters leap! And hended on another hovercraft.

    Then, he got to working again with great speed.

    Thus, the four hovercrafts all changed course after Qin Feng had taken care of the aptitude users inside.

    ¡°Heh! Qin Feng! So, you want to save these people, right? I¡¯ll see how you¡¯re gonna save this one!¡±

    An ancient warrior, who came running back from afar, shed a powerful strike at thest hovercraft that was trying to steer away from Qin Feng.

    nk!

    The hovercraft was shed in half!

 Chapter 641 - Feeding B-tiers to Cinder Pine

    <h4>Chapter 641: Feeding B-tiers to Cinder Pine</h4>

    Pzzzt! Crack! Pzzt!

    The Cinder Pine ignited from the explosion but was not damaged. However, the human corpses that fell out of it had all been devoured by it.

    A short momentter, about eighty Cinderst Golems walked out of the fire!

    Qin Feng was furious when he saw this. And yet, the B-tier still yelled out to taunt him.

    ¡°Come on! Go save them! I¡¯ll see how you save them. Qin Feng, you¡¯re just a little piece of dirt in the alliance¡¯s hierarchy. I¡¯ll tell you what. I¡¯lle again with another huge load of human beings and unload them all onto the tree too! Let¡¯s see how you¡¯re gonna stop me!¡±

    Qin Feng was nowpletely pissed.

    ¡°No, you don¡¯t need to. Because I won¡¯t give you this chance.¡± Qin Feng replied coldly.

    ¡°No need to? You mean you are the one that doesn¡¯t need toe, right?¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, no matter how strong you are, you can¡¯t handle this many B-tiers¡¯ attacks.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, you¡¯ll die today. Right here. Right now!¡±

    The other B-tiers that had rushed to the scene hovered in the air and surrounded Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Bai Li did not bother to do crowd control so these B-tiers that surrounded them did not know any better.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°Say, you like to do human sacrifices to the Cinder Pine, right? Then, how about you be the human sacrifice?¡±

    After saying so, Qin Feng¡¯s golden rune sabre disappeared from his hand before a helm appeared on his head.

    Vooom!

    A presence emitted out of Qin Feng. Suddenly, an invisible aura started to envelop Qin Feng and hisbat armor.

    Then, a weapon appeared in his hand.

    Its hilt was ck with its de emitting a fuchsia ray. Although they could not lock onto the de with their eyes and conscious energy, they could feel that the de was vibrating.

    Booom!!

    A powerful presence burst out of Qin Feng¡¯s body. Despite wearing heavy armor, Qin Feng¡¯s speed was insanely fast. Despite the B-tiers already having him locked on, they could not keep up with his speed.

    As he moved rapidly around them, his body had turned into a series of mirror images, dazzling the B-tiers.

    Even the guy who was taunting him earlier too felt tremendously threatened. He quickly summoned his internal energy to form a barrier around him as he took his massive shield from his back and hid behind it!

    This man was quite famous in the underworld. He had trained his body forcefully to the point where he had superhuman strength. The shield that was in his hand right now was actually his weapon too¡ªit was not just for defense but also used to incur deadly blunt damage on his enemies.

    It was then, he could feel that a silhouette had appeared before him. It was Qin Feng! The only one that was hostile to him right now was Qin Feng.

    His body responded before his mind did and rammed his massive shield at the enemy in front of him with a massive force!

    Booom!!

    A loud explosion could be heard in front of him. The silhouette slowed down to a halt and showed its real self¡ªit was indeed Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, took his dark fuchsia de and struck on the massive shield. The intensely powerful energy on the shield was obliterated in an instant.

    And then, the shield started to crack.

    The crack expanded and expanded in all directions... like a spider web.

    Finally, the B-tier gawked at his hand as his shield broke to pieces in it.

    ¡°Die.¡±

    Qin Feng swiped his newly enhanced Verdant Emperor Saber at this B-tier ancient warrior.

    Psssst!

    The internal energy shield was crushed in an instant.

    The ancient warrior panicked and directed the rest of his internal energy with his wailing hands, trying to stop Qin Feng from harming him.

    However, there was no way to stop his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Poof!!

    Blood sprayed out like a fountain as the man¡¯s arm was cut down like butter.

    The arm fell from the sky and straight into the Cinder Pine below. It was devoured almost immediately. The Cinder Pine started to wave around, seemingly happy that it could have this meal¡ªit seemed to prefer to devour this arm that the others.

    Thud Thud Thud!!

    Several flowers immediately bore fruits and turned into Cinderst Golems.

    Meanwhile, the battle in the sky was still going on fiercely.

    Qin Feng did not use much of his energy to clean up these filthy criminals.

    Suspended in mid-air, the B-tier ancient warrior could not utilize his leg muscles to run away. As such, all he could do now was watch Qin Feng approach him again with his saber and....

    Vooom!!!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was stabbed straight into his stomach. Due to the fierce vibration the de emitted, his wound was torn open, it becamerger andrger as blood kept spurting out.

    ¡°Ugh...ah... you....¡±

    The man seemed to still want to say something. However, Qin Feng did not bother to entertain him any further. He pulled out his weapon and zipped upward to the sky before crashing down with a kick.

    Fwoosh!

    Like a sandbag, the ancient warrior could do nothing but receive the strike in full blow before falling down from the sky and onto the Cinder Pine.

    The tree, as soon as it devoured the man, quickly produced more fruits and grew about ten meters in height.

    It was apparent that a B-tier was much more nutritious than one hundred men to the Cinder Pine.

    On the other hand, Qin Feng had killed a B-tier in less than three minutes.

    Of course, he was not going to stop there.

    All of these men... they needed to die!

    Thus, Qin Feng zipped straight to the B-tier crowd like a ghostly phantom.

    Three gunners immediately utilized their conscious energies to wield their guns and started spraying attacks at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Deflection!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was formidable. In a split second, their bullets werepletely stopped and deflected away from him.

    ¡°Gu... Guys! Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s kill him!!¡±

    A horrifying gust of wind blew past a B-tier ability user and formed a small, three-meter wide hurricane, with thousands of wind des swirling inside. If Qin Feng was trapped in it, he would be cut to pieces.

    ¡°Child¡¯s y.¡±

    Qin Feng shed out his Verdant Emperor Saber with his powerful internal energy¡ªhis internal energy formed into a massive de and cut the hurricane in half.

    In that short instance, four B-tiers rushed over and surrounded Qin Feng.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    ¡°Three-Smiley Foray!¡±

    ¡°Star sher!¡±

    ¡°Thousand Stabs!¡±

    Several attacksnded on Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy shield.

    Booom!!

    Only a few drops of energy on the shield was depleted. They could only leave a small scratch on it despite how hard they attacked.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy was too powerful for them to break through.

    ¡°Get lost!!!¡±

    Qin Feng bellowed furiously as he shed out his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Pwoof!!!

    The B-tiers¡¯ internal energy shields were instantly crushed.

    nk!!

    Their armors and rune equipment werepletely destroyed by the de.

    Then, Qin Feng warped behind one of these men.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    In one sh, half of the man¡¯s body was cut and torn to shreds.

    His body fell from the sky before he was able to whimper.

    There was no one that could stop Qin Feng.

    Kill! Kill kill kill kill!!!

    The Ancient Warriors werepletely in. In under twenty minutes, six of them werepletely killed!

    And the Cinder Pine kept growing and growing. Now it was already three hundred seventy meters tall!

    There were still ten B-tiers left.

    Some of them were finally afraid of Qin Feng.

    ¡°Re... Retreat!!!¡±

    ¡°Toote.¡±

    There was no way Qin Feng would let them go.

    He was going to feed them all to the Cinder Pine. This would save him a lot of time and effort!

    And thus, he kept going on with his massacre!

 Chapter 642 - Man-eating Tree

    <h4>Chapter 642: Man-eating Tree</h4>

    With Bai Li around to support him, there was no way these people could run away. As such, they were all killed and fed to the Cinder Pine.

    The hovercraft of the Fengli Organization had arrived after all that happened. They did not dare to use long-range support fire because they feared that they would disrupt Qin Feng. Qin Feng did not want them toe too¡ªif things went south, the B-tiers could hijack the hovercraft and then they would have a hostage situation.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be scared. We¡¯re here to help!¡±

    ¡°Thank goodness... we¡¯re saved!¡±

    ¡°Follow us.¡±

    ¡°Argh...!!! Don¡¯t... Don¡¯t hurt me...!! Huh? What... Um, well... We¡¯re from Cinderst City!¡±

    ¡°Yes, ma¡¯am. Yes. We¡¯re from the Fengli Organization. Come with us. There¡¯s no need to worry now.¡±

    After a few rounds of confusion, the people on the other hovercrafts were now rescued and brought onto their hovercraft.

    Meanwhile, reinforcement from the Human Alliance too had arrived.

    They werete¡ªeventer than the hovercraft. As such, they did not get to do any fighting. Still, even if they wanted to help Qin Feng to fight, they would not be able to do much anyway¡ªQin Feng was able to wipe out the whole group in minutes.

    These people had other things in their minds right now¡ªthe Cinderst Golems under the Cinder Pine.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, took Bai Li¡¯s hand and retreated.

    Even though he knew that feeding B-tiers to the tree would provide it with a great amount of nutrition, he did not think that it would grow so fast. Now, the thing was about five hundred meters tall!

    Right now, the B-tiers that had newly arrived felt a tremendous presence from the Cinder Pine. It was so powerful that it was so difficult to breathe near it.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you alright?¡± He Liming and the others walked toward Qin Feng.

    They opted to care for Qin Feng instead of hunting the Cinderst Golems right away for financial gains.

    They also saw the weapon in Qin Feng¡¯s hand. They saw that it could destroy B-tiers¡¯ weapons and armor. As such, this thing must be quite powerful and valuable.

    This thing... it could be a God Weapon.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine. We need to retreat a bit further.¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°I have a bad feeling about the tree. Trust me.¡±

    Three of them came early so that they could grab some hunts while they could. Now that they had hunted enough, there was no need to rush forward to hunt more. Besides, they understood what he meant by ¡°bad feeling¡±¡ªthey too had felt a certain heavy, creeping presence from the Cinder Pine. As such, they backed away with Qin Feng.

    As soon as they left the area, they could feel that the ground was shaking beforeva started to burst wildly in theva pool earlier.

    Ssh!!!!!!

    A crimson red root burst out of theva pool and flipped the soil around fiercely. This went on further and further, and before they knew it... Two-kilometer-wide of soil waspletely flipped by the root, pulling the other greedy B-tiers in it.

    ¡°Ahhh! What¡¯s going on??¡±

    An ancient warrior cried out in confusion.

    The ground continued to shake wildly as tree roots burst out of the soil. He wanted to jump away from it but several roots burst out from behind and grabbed him.

    Booom!!

    The ancient warrior unleashed his internal energy, intending to break away from them. The burst of his energy was so loud that even Qin Feng could hear it from afar.

    He kept bursting forth his internal energy. Again and again.

    ¡°It¡¯s Liu Ji!¡±

    Fu Wenjue apparently knew who that was and wanted to head out to save him. However, before he was able to leap out, Qin Feng pulled his arm.

    ¡°Don¡¯t. You won¡¯t make it in time.¡±

    He looked at where Liu Ji was again. The poor ancient warrior was nowpletely bound by the roots and being pulled toward the tree trunk. As he was pulled closer, a huge mouth opened up on the tree trunk!

    ¡°Gulp!¡±

    Liu Ji was thrown straight into the tree¡¯s mouth before it closed uppletely. A minuteter, the Cinder Pine did not grow taller, instead, its roots kept appearing more and more in the area, extending further and further.

    This was so horrifying!

    And it was not just Liu Ji. There were also other aptitude users that were trapped too. They thought that they could prey on some golems by arriving early. Instead, now they had be the prey.

    ¡°Qin Feng, should we ask for help from the A-tiers? This tree... this thing! It¡¯s so horrifying!¡±

    Qin Feng shook his head and switched on hismunicator. ¡°When will the Floating City arrive?¡±

    ¡°We¡¯re en route, sir. We should be there in half an hour.¡±

    ¡°Good!¡±

    Half an hour? Qin Feng could hold on for half an hour.

    There was no change in his ns.

    ¡°Look! It¡¯s moving!¡±

    ¡°Could it be that this tree is... an animal?¡±

    Fu Wenjue and the others panicked when they saw it moving.

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned grim.

    The B-tiers that were running away were fleeing toward Cinderst City. If they kept on going that way, Cinder Pine would reach Cinderst City in under five minutes!

    After all, the tree was very near the city. And it had grown humongous in size... and it was fast too.

    ¡°Don¡¯t run in that direction! If you want to leave, turn to other directions!¡±

    Qin Feng yelled out loudly.

    Yet, the Cinder Pine was too huge. Even if they wanted to, they could not outrun the tree roots. Also, these people did not care to listen to Qin Feng too.

    ¡°Bai Li, do it!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    In an instant, Bai Li vanished into thin air. Yang Bei and the others felt a chill down their spines when they saw this. They could feel that Qin Feng was not exactly in a good mood.

    ¡°Governor Qin, please stay calm. There¡¯s no need to kill one of our own!¡±

    Qin Feng coldly replied, ¡°I¡¯m just helping them to flee. Not kill them.¡±

    Well, that was the n. There was no guarantee if these people would oblige though¡ªthese people might have some other insidious n in mind.

    If they were to run into Cinderst City, the city walls could indeed stop the roots for a short moment. Then, these B-tiers could run away¡ªleaving an entire city as distraction for the demonic tree.

    Meanwhile, Bai Li¡¯s dimensional rune was activated around these people. In a wink of an eye, they were all sent to five thousand meters away and not anywhere near Cinderst City.

    However, this was enough for them to be free of the Cinder Pine¡¯s wrath. After seeing that they were safe, they retreated without hesitation.

    Without its prey, the tree had stopped its movement. Its trunk and branches were shaking slowly in ce, seemingly wondering where it should go next.

    At the same time, Qin Feng had already put away his Verdant Emperor Saber and taken out a hand cannon.

    ¡°You all can leave now. I¡¯ll distract the Cinder Pine.¡±

    ¡°No, Qin Feng! This is too dangerous!¡±

    The three men¡¯s faces turned grim after hearing this.

    They knew just how powerful this prodigy was. However, the Cinder Pine was too dangerous and enigmatic. They could not imagine just what kind of dangery ahead.

    And if Qin Feng died here, it would be a huge loss to the Human Alliance.

    Qin Feng was like any of them. To them, this young man could very well reach A-tier at any moment. In fact, he had a good chance of ascending to S-tier!

    Yet, Qin Feng did not give them time to think. He loaded his cannon and fired.

    Whooosh!

    An ice cannon ball darted thousands of meters away, apanied by a strand of white smoke, beforending on the Cinder Pine¡¯s roots.

    The Cinder Pine started to shake wildly as steam fumed off its roots. The tree now had made Qin Feng its new target.

    Creak! Creaak!!

    The Cinder Pine started to move again. This time it went straight toward Qin Feng.

    Seeing hundreds and thousands of roots moving this way, even Fu Wenjue felt a chill creep down his spine.

    Qin Feng fired another round of ice cannon ball at the Cinder Pine.

    This would not hurt it one bit but it was enough to get its attention.

    Thus, everyone kept looking at Qin Feng fire round after round of ice cannon balls at it, luring the tree away from civilization with great speed. They were so fast that even the drones could not keep up with them anymore!

    In the skyscrapers, all the aptitude users had be quiet.

    ¡°He¡¯s... a good governor.¡±

    An E-tier opened his mouth. He came from one of the small colonies that were fused to be Cinderst City today. After seeing what Qin Feng did for everyone, his eyes became teary red.

 Chapter 643 - Mysterious Champion

    <h4>Chapter 643: Mysterious Champion</h4>

    However, the sad atmosphere did not linger for long. The actual underlings of Qin Feng were the first to cheer up.

    ¡°Heh, what are you talking about? Like Qin Feng is going to die from that.¡± Zhou Hao said.

    ¡°You haven¡¯t spent much time with our boss. So, it¡¯s understandable. But this isn¡¯t a huge crisis. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Jin Fei nodded. He was the one who apanied Qin Feng when he fought his way out of the City of Death. As such, he knew just how powerful and capable Qin Feng was.

    Not only that, he had also witnessed how Qin Feng kicked many prodigies¡¯ asses. Thus, after seeing all that, Jin Fei worshipped Qin Feng.

    He believed that Qin Feng would be fine.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The governor is going to be alright!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! He¡¯ll be fine!¡±

    ¡°The governor hasn¡¯t even called for the A-tiers yet. So, this shows that he is confident that he can handle this.¡±

    After hearing theforting and reassuring words from the higher-ups, everyone started to feel better. Some of them even tailed behind Qin Feng in their hovercrafts and streamed the battle back to the city.

    The Cinder Pine¡¯s horrifying appearance on the screen had stiffened up the now lightened up atmosphere in the room. Although they had faith in Qin Feng, after seeing this creature they could not help but feel this intense fear.

    It was a lingering, mortifying fear. One that seemed to take root in their hearts and souls.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng kept on running and running as he lured the gigantic fiery tree to an open area.

    The ultra beasts in North Sea State were mostly weak. Thus, there were no other fearsome beasts in the area. Thus, when they ran to the open grounds, all the ultra beasts in the area immediately fled to safety.

    The Cinder Pine, on the other hand, had only one target¡ªQin Feng.

    ¡°This monster... it¡¯s quite fearsome indeed. Who was the one who killed this Cinder Pine before I was reborn... Hmm? Who was it?¡± Qin Feng tried to recall as he kept on running.

    The one who destroyed this fiery, monstrous tree... it was not Shang Han. It was not any of the A-tiers that were sent to support her back then.

    Still, information like this was ssified. Qin Feng¡¯s rank was too low to have the clearance to read the entire report. And when he finally got to A-tier, he hadpletely forgotten about this incident.

    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t need to rely on others. I could just try to take it on myself. Even if I cannot kill it, we can still defeat it using the Floating City!¡±

    After making up his mind, Qin Feng stopped running.

    ¡°Everyone on the hovercrafts. Stop broadcasting and back away by one thousand meters. Cut offmunication. I repeat...¡± Qin Feng used his conscious energy to send an order to the hovercrafts.

    Everyone on the hovercrafts was surprised when they heard this. However, it took only a few seconds for them to pull themselves together, ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±

    ¡°Stop broadcasting! All hands on battle station!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t peek!¡±

    ¡°Back away. One thousand meters!¡±

    Due to howrge the Cinder Pine was, it did not matter if they all retreated to one thousand meters away. They could still see it. However, Qin Feng now looked like a small tiny dot from a distance. Unless they used their conscious energy or internal energy to boost their eye sights, it was close to impossible for them to see him clearly.

    Of course, Qin Feng did not want them to see him. That was why he gave that order.

    He did not want too many people to know about his real powers.

    After seeing that everyone was far away, Qin Feng put away his hand cannon and pulled out his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Due to him stopping, the Cinder Pine had already caught up to him. It shook its burning branches wildly, as though it was letting out a huge roar.

    Creak Creack! Creaaak!!!

    Several tree roots extended toward Qin Feng, grabbing his legs firmly.

    Poooof!

    Qin Feng shed out his saber. The roots that got hold of Liu Ji like iron chains were sliced off like butter. Several roots were instantly cut off under the powerful fuchsia light emitted from Verdant Emperor Saber, leaving a huge hole between the roots.

    ¡°Move away!¡±

    Qin Feng kicked at one of the roots as he waved his Verdant Emperor Saber fiercely, sending the dim ck fuchsia ray of the de dancing around in the area gracefully.

    Poof! Poof! Poof!

    The Cinder Pine¡¯s roots were cut down again and again.

    Creaaaak!!!!

    The Cinder Pine shook its branches even more wildly now, seemingly furious at what Qin Feng was doing. Then, a fiery ray fell from the sky. It was the seeds of the tree. They were huge, like meteorites falling from the heavens.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    The fiery seeds all fell straight toward Qin Feng.

    Explosion immediately erupted around him as fierce mes enveloped him. The explosion was so powerful that even the hovercrafts felt the shockwave from it. It was so powerful that the hovercrafts were shaking violently, triggering the rm systems and emergency shields.

    Their jaws were rolling on the ground after feeling the explosion¡¯s shockwave. They could not imagine just how fierce and chaotic the actual fight that was going on there.

    Meanwhile, the explosion had left a huge, charred hole in front of the Cinder Pine. Then, a young man, dded in hisbat armor, rushed out from the smokes.

    It was Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was breathing heavily¡ªhe spent a lot of energy reinforcing his internal energy shield to survive that explosion. If it was not because of his sturdy Sacred Armor, Qin Feng would have suffered greatly¡ªhis skin might have been burned off entirely.

    Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!

    Several fiery seeds kept falling from the sky and toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng increased his speed, trying to evade the attacks. He quickly took a sharp turn and fired a round of ice cannon balls at the Cinder Pine.

    As the fiery seeds were all frozen up, Qin Feng quickly turned and ran. Then, he fired a few rounds of cannon balls at them again.

    Qin Feng kept on attacking and retreating.

    Half an hourter, the Floating City had finally arrived.

    The Floating City was a powerful weapon that could kill even an A-tier aptitude user. Now that Qin Feng had modified and improved it, the Floating City was even more powerful than it was.

    As minutes went by, the battle between Qin Feng and the Cinder Pine had be more and more intense.

    Even though the Floating City had arrived, Qin Feng did not let his guard down. Instead, he kept on trying his best to attack the gigantic tree. Yet, this thing was toorge. His attacks were not enough to take it down.

    Qin Feng was like a small ant on the fiery tree. No matter how much he munched on the tree trunk, it was never enough to cut down the tree.

    ¡°The Floating City is almost there!¡±

    ¡°Three more minutes. Hang on, Sir!¡±

    ¡°How¡¯s the governor?¡±

    Many people were worried for Qin Feng as Qin Feng gave the Cinder Pine everything he got.

    He knew just how powerful this thing was. This thing was the pinnacle of B-tier Beast Emperor. In fact, the Cinder Pine was almost as powerful as an A-tier. This thing was basically an incarnation of horror itself.

    Despite how powerful Qin Feng was, he was still not able to take it down.

    This thing was too huge!

    It was then, reinforcement turned up. However, it was not the Floating City.

    It was a man.

    He was young and tall.

    His eyes were blue in color, as though the entire ocean was carried in them. Nheless, this young man could indeed stir up a tsunami.

    Bai Li too had sensed who this was. Her face turned pale immediately and teleported straight to Qin Feng¡¯s side.

    Then, in the blink of an eye, Bai Li had brought Qin Feng thousands of meters away.

    If it were not for the hovercrafts being around, Bai Li really wanted to just grab him and turn tail¡ªrunning as far as she could.

    There were not many people that could spook Bai Li like this.

    Qin Feng too was shocked when he saw the man.

    ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±

    That young man raised his head and smiled at Qin Feng, ¡°Hi! Yes, it¡¯s me.¡±

    This young man... was Z!!

 Chapter 644 - Extermination of Cinder Pine

    <h4>Chapter 644: Extermination of Cinder Pine</h4>

    Z looked the same as before. After all, it had only been a few months ago when theyst met.

    Although Z had promised Hu San, the mysterious guardian, to relocate his organization away from the North Sea, the former had no obligation or whatsoever to abide by it.

    Would a powerful S-tier elect really restrain himself or herself from visiting a ce just because of some empty promise?

    That was practically impossible. Z made a promise not because he was willing topromise. Simply speaking, he cared little about it since nobody could really stop him from doing as he pleased.

    At the same time, Qin Feng thought of something.

    ¡®Perhaps, the mysterious man who was here in myst life was also Z?¡¯

    At that time, a mysterious elect had urred out of nowhere and disappeared quickly after taking down the Cinder Pine.

    Z seemed to be the most probable candidate now.

    Qin Feng furrowed his eyebrows after thinking it through. ¡®Doesn¡¯t it mean I owe Z a favor now?¡¯

    The North Sea was currently under Qin Feng¡¯s watch. Getting help from an outsider somehow tinged Qin Feng¡¯s nerve.

    Z¡¯s sight had now turned onto the Cinder Pine. His eyes were full of intrigue and curiousness as he watched the burning tree.

    That gave Qin Feng the chills. It was the same expression when Z was looking at Qin Feng¡ªThe sight of a mad scientist on an interesting study subject.

    Z said enthusiastically, ¡°This is such an extraordinary organism. I have never thought that a beast could strengthen itself simply by eating things. This is a rare experimental material that could probably help propel my research into the next stage!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face changed after hearing what Z had said.

    Humans, theoretically, could also strengthen themselves by consuming items like herbs and beast meat. But not many could actually swallow raw materials from nature or even other humans to boost up.

    Speaking of which, the Cinder Pine shared some simrities with Qin Feng and his Absorption Ability.

    Z continued. ¡°Fascinating, truly fascinating. My research is still far fromplete. If I can decode and acquire this ability, then in the future humans could probably kill the beasts and directly devour them to be stronger. In that case, a human could grow without any limit. That could ultimately devoid the need for mutation. There¡¯s enormous risk in tinkering with human genes, after all!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart sank as Z talked to himself. What Z said was exactly his ability.

    Z tilted his head and looked at Qin Feng. He then offered half-jokingly, ¡°Qin Feng, why don¡¯t you join me and help me with the research? I know there are a lot of mutants currently under you who are unable to break through!¡±

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows and answered back coldly, ¡°No thanks.¡±

    He did have underlings like that. The ones closest to him were Lin Wuyi and Han Nuan. At the moment, Han Nuan was doing okay but Lin Wuyi¡¯s development had been in jeopardy. Thetter could only evolve through experimental means, which came with tremendous risks.

    No matter what, Qin Feng would not work with Z. This man was not just a mad scientist, but also an elect with great power.

    Coboration with another user must be built on one foundation, which was that the two coborators must be at least equal in strength.

    There mighte a time when Qin Feng would have no choice but to coborate with him. That would only happen after Qin Feng had reached the S-tier.

    Z was not surprised that Qin Feng rejected him so quickly. He knew how cautious Qin Feng was toward him.

    He was just testing Qin Feng and suggested it randomly. The Cinder Pine was what really upied his mind now.

    ¡°Hehe! Forget it then. But I am taking that tree over there,¡± Z left behind those words and turned his back on Qin Feng.

    His aura changed rapidly and in the next instance, a giant ck wyvern appeared in the sky.

    It was Z¡¯s Spirit.

    The Cinder Pine was very powerful. It could move thend and shroud the skies.

    But Z¡¯s Spirit was not at all inferior to the Cinder Pine.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The wyvern spirit growled and dived at the pine.

    Sharp ws of the wyvern hinged on the tree and began to crush its branches. Sounds of branches breaking were heard consistently.

    The branches looked small from a distance but they exploded into a loud bang when they hit the ground. Each ¡°small¡± branch measured at least twenty-meter long and one meter wide. It was almost the size of amon trunk.

    Such a battle was horrific to the eyes.

    Qin Feng was astounded watching from afar.

    Z hid inside his spirit, which now seemedrger than the Cinder Pine. Each time itnded its ws, more parts from the pine were pried off.

    No one could or would intervene in the battle between two mammoths.

    ¡®Is this the disparity in terms of power, or more to size??¡¯ A question came into Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    He felt that his level was probably simr to that of the pine. But their size made all the difference.

    Qin Feng could destroy a mountain easily with his power but against the Cinder Pine, he could only approach from the perimeter and slowly remove the tree¡¯s wildly dancing branches and leaves.

    However, Z¡¯s Spirit ignored all that and struck straight to the Cinder Pine¡¯s core.

    Undeniably, Z was an S-tier aspared to Qin Feng¡¯s C-tier. But his size advantage was still enormous.

    In the future, Qin Feng would probably be even more powerless against arger beast like how it was today.

    However, Qin Feng quickly diminished the thought.

    ¡®Z must be showing this on purpose. He wants me to think this way. I have not seen him being this dramatic when battling with Hu San. Dream on if you think this can persuade me to be your experimental subject!¡¯

    ¡®So what if the Spirit is indeed more powerful? Who can guarantee that I wouldn¡¯t be a horrible monster in the future if I ept his offer? All the things that I have built up so far would be worth nothing if that¡¯s the case.¡¯

    Moreover, Qin Feng still had memories of all the major events taking ce in the next 8 years. This advantage alone would make Qin Feng the pinnacle of the human race!

    He refused to believe that his achievements would stop there. A stern and determined expression appeared on Qin Feng¡¯s face.

    This was when another behemoth appeared on the horizon.

    It was the Floating City.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng pinched Bai Li¡¯s waist. The white fox immediately used spatial runes to teleport both of them above the city.

    They swiftly entered the control room of the flying castle. The others had be used to Qin Feng¡¯s sudden appearance and were not surprised by his abrupt entrance. They were all observing the battle outside solemnly.

    Curiosity filled their eyes but none of them was talking.

    Those maneuvering the Floating City were the Fengli Organization¡¯s best gunners.

    Their allegiance to Qin Feng was absolute and they underwent the toughest training directly under Qin Feng. Unlike ancient warriors and ability users, they believed only Qin Feng could lead them into a bright future. That was why they were the most loyal group to Qin Feng inside the corporation.

    ¡°Lock on to the tree and the man over there. Prepare tounch an attack anytime!¡± Qin Feng ordered instantly.

    If the opportunity were to present itself, Qin Feng did not mind taking Z down together with the Cinder Pine.

    But Z did not give Qin Feng any chance. He was simply too powerful. Though the Cinder Pine was pretty strong, it had lost any ability to fight back.

    The giant ck wyvern spiraled down and mped on the Cinder Pine¡¯s trunk. It then ruthlessly tightened its grip.

    The roots of the Cinder Pine swung madly andshed on the wyvern¡¯s body. But it had failed to leave any wound on it.

    Instead, its trunk shrunk greatly under the wyvern¡¯s crushing grip.

    Crack! Crack! Crack!

    It sounded like its life was being sapped away gradually.

    Snap!

    On the surveince monitor inside the control room, the trunk of the mighty Cinder Pine was seen broken in half.

 Chapter 645 - Stand-off

    <h4>Chapter 645: Stand-off</h4>

    Z imed amanding victory in less than five minutes.

    The Cinder Pine¡¯s ravaging branches dropped down lifelessly. Its broken tree crown was stuck inverted in the ground. Burning sparks on it began to extinguish rapidly.

    The Cinder Pine had lost its life.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Floating City was hovering nearby when the giant Cinder Pine was killed. Energy from the pine dispersed in all directions and spread out to arge area. As a result, Qin Feng was able to absorb the scattered energy from the tree beast.

    The seemingly endless energy helped to boost both Qin Feng¡¯s physique and consciousness.

    Under such circumstances, Qin Feng made another breakthrough¡ªthe C7 tier!

    He never expected to evolve at this moment and had thus failed to withhold his aura. The sudden amplification of power filled the entire control room. Some of his subordinates were baffled as they looked at Qin Feng, while most were unable to raise their heads being pressured by the terrific force.

    His presence was too daunting to most of the lower-tier gunners.

    Without much dy, Qin Feng managed to retract his aura and stabilize it. The others looked up to him with great admiration.

    As for why Qin Feng had gone up a sub-tier out of the blue, the gunners inside the control room reckoned he must have been enlightened after watching the battle between the Cinder Pine and the mysterious man. Such a phenomenon would happen every once in a while.

    Only Qin Feng knew that this was thanks to his Absorption Ability. The power that gushed out from the Cinder Pine was simply too vast and had caught him by surprise.

    Above the Cinder Pine, Z controlled the ck wyvern to tear apart the remaining body of the Cinder Pine. He had found something in it.

    It was a giant, semi-transparent crystal. Within the crystal, one could see magma swirling in a lively manner in it. This was, without question, the energy core of the beast.

    After the Cinder Pine had been killed, the trunk burned for onest time and charred the entire tree. Branches were turned into ashes and carried away by the wind.

    However, some of the branches emitted red radiance after being burned. They looked like scarlet jades.

    Though this type of branch was not a lot rtive to the once giant canopy, the amount was still pretty substantial. Z steered the wyvern around the trees and collected some of it, then hovered still in mid-air.

    Apparently, he did not bring enough spatial rune equipment. That was the curb to every S-tier aptitude user. Even though one could bring multiple pieces of spatial equipment, there was still a limit to it.

    Nevertheless, he seemed to have collected enough materials for his experimental use.

    After that, the head of the ck wyvern turned toward the Floating City.

    Qin Feng had connected his consciousness to the connector of the city. Right now, he was the mind of the giant Floating City. Still, he felt an enormous pressure when staring at the wyvern.

    ng!

    The cannons of the Floating City extended out and aimed at the wyvern.

    However, Qin Feng had no confidence that such firepower was enough to defeat the wyvern.

    That was why he chose not to fire recklessly. This was perhaps the tensest situation he had even been in since he was reborn.

    Z raised his eyebrows. Instantaneously, his immense consciousness floated in and quickly locked onto Qin Feng.

    On the screen, Z within the wyvern could be seen smirking.

    The smirk could be a sign of contempt orpliment. They would never know because Z left immediately after that.

    Qin Feng¡¯s tensed body finally loosened up after the ck wyvern disappeared on the horizon. He managed to escape safely because Hu San was aroundst time. He knew Hu San would not be here to protect him this time. Who knew what someone like Z was thinking? He could easily break his three years promise and capture Qin Feng right now.

    Qin Feng understood that Z had left this time not because he was daunted by the Floating City, but he was honoring the promise he made to Hu San.

    All in all, this ended well for Qin Feng.

    ¡°Stay alert!¡± Qin Feng ordered and went down to the battlefield with Bai Li.

    The Cinder Pine¡¯s death had affected the forest around the area too. The once dense forest had been burned away by the fire. The branches of the Cinder Pine were all over the ce. The remains were still magnificent when gazed close up.

    The wildfire scorched violently, barring the low-tier aptitude users from entering the battlefield.

    The things left behind by the trees were alluring. It was the essence left behind by the Cinder Pine.

    In his past life, Qin Feng had heard that B-tier aptitude users used to fight feverishly for these scarlet branches.

    The same thing had happened then, where Z came out of nowhere and exterminated the Cinder Pine. Z was unable to im all the loot so the others could take advantage of it.

    In this life, Qin Feng was the only one who took advantage of it this time. He would not forgo the loots just because Z was his enemy.

    Besides, he did participate in the battle early on. He entirely deserved to im the rewards.

    ¡°Bai Li, take everything!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Bai Li followed his order naturally. All the huge branches were collected into Bai Li¡¯s limitless dimension.

    After they swept the loot, only ashes remained in the area. Qin Feng did not stay for long and retreated with his troop afterward.

    He returned to the Floating City and instructed the city to be steered back to Cinderst City.

    Most of the B-tier aptitude users had left Cinderst City. Some refused to give up and stayed to see whether the Cinder Pine would return. As for the members of the Dark Coalition, Qin Feng had killed most of them so there was not much influence left from the dark side.

    When the Floating City appeared above Cinderst City, it still stirred quite amotion despite the reduced visitors.

    The sky was shrouded by the behemoth. People waiting outside the Cinderst City looked up in amazement.

    ¡°Gosh! What is that?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a city! A city is floating in the sky!¡±

    ¡°It has Feng Li carved on it! Is this Fengli¡¯s property?¡±

    ¡°Floating City! It¡¯s the Floating City that killed me Lord Cui Lian!¡±

    Many aptitude users were shocked by the sudden appearance of the unnerving castle.

    It was a deadly weapon that could even kill A-tier aptitude users.

    Luckily, the Floating City did not arrive on top of the Cinderst City but stopped above the location where the Cinder Pine was previously rooted.

    Everyone was baffled and wondered what Qin Feng nned to do.

    Quickly, two aircrafts flew out of the Floating City and dispatched some men down to the field. They began to work painstakingly among the ruins.

    Walls were built.

    Houses were constructed.

    A giant za was formed quickly, too.

    Then, with Bai Li¡¯s help, a ten-meter high spatial portal was opened in the area.

    Through the portal, people could feel the fiery auraing out of it.

    They finally understood what Qin Feng was nning when the rift was opened.

    He had constructed a spatial tunnel.

    The series of actions happened too fast. Everything was wrapped up within one day.

    It was then the B-tiers realized that the spatial tunnel was probably connected to the tunnel where the Cinderst Golems had emerged from. This meant that at the other end of the tunnel, there would be tons of Cinderst Golems waiting to be hunted.

    Those remaining in the city could not stop drooling over the valuable crystal cores on the other side!

 Chapter 646 - Cinderclast Dimension

    <h4>Chapter 646: Cinderst Dimension</h4>

    An eightne road that connected Cinderst City to the outside world was constructed in half-a-day. A watchtower could be seen every one hundred meters. Each sentinel tower was equipped with multiple sters that covered all directions. In the sky across the in, drones were hovering everywhere.

    At the end of this road, there was a newly-built mini fortress.

    The small-sized fortress was only three-hundred meters in diameter. Crystal Cannons were set up along the building wall. The glimmer of the sters under the sunshine was especially intimidating.

    There was a sophisticated city floating above the fortress.

    A lot of people could recognize the city. It was the Floating City left behind by the Grans. Nheless, its fame was propelled after it sent an A-tier elect into his grave.

    The Grans¡¯ Floating City was now called Feng Li¡¯s Floating Castle.

    It was a formidable wonder.

    This ce was where Qin Feng had established the spatial tunnel links to the Cindercst Dimension.

    Right after it was built just a day ago, the first thing that Qin Feng set up was the weaponry system. Soon, other stores were introduced into the fortress, including hotels, hospitals, restaurants, merchants, etc. The speed of its development was unbelievably fast.

    The core of the fortress was centered at its middle square. A spatial tunnel fabricated by two spatial stones had been stabilized and could be activated anytime.

    Initially, many B-tiers and C-tiers had escaped from the town when the Cindercalst Golems disappeared and the Cinder Pine began to ravage uncontrobly.

    But one day after, the number of people visiting the North Sea had multiplied by several folds after the news was out.

    Despite that, there was not any update being leaked out from inside the fortress. A lot of outsiders wondered whether Qin Feng had already entered the dimension and gotten a lucrative gain.

    Though the outsiders were eagerly waiting, workers from Fengli had been working in stages to expand more around the perimeter. These were apparently constructed to be sold to the investors. Not only that but arge piece ofnd was also being transformed for cultivation purposes.

    Thends around here were once covered by moltenva, making the soils rich in minerals. After transnting Tear Flowers on this ground, there would certainly be a great harvest next spring.

    Weapons were only important to the aptitude user¡¯s market. The agricultural products from Fengli, such as wheat, rice, flour, on the other hand, could be sold to the entire North Region epassing an evenrger market.

    However, not everyone could put up with their stage-by-stage development. To some, the spatial tunnel was all that mattered.

    ¡°This Qin Feng is wasting our time!¡±

    ¡°We should charge in and investigate the spatial tunnel. How could he monopolize the tunnel for his own use?¡±

    ¡°Unfortunately, he has all the right. This ce is under his jurisdiction. This fortress is built by his corporation. So naturally, he has the final say.¡±

    ¡°What is he plotting?¡±

    They did have some answers in mind. Qin Feng either nned to ask for money or have all the resources for himself. If it was the former, they did not mind paying a little fee to gain ess to the tunnel. But if it was thetter, the B-tiers would not just sit idly by and let him have his way.

    Nevertheless, the B-tiers were not a hot-headed bunch. They were used to being cautious with this type of conflict and had sent in the C-tiers to investigate. Liu Hui was one of them.

    As the hovercraft passed by the fully weaponized watchtower, he was daunted by the extent Qin Feng had gone to to secure the ce. He was a gunner himself so he could tell the guns embedded on the towers were all at least D-tier.

    ¡®Qin Feng certainly did not hold back!¡¯ He reckoned in a ce like the North Sea, a normal sentinel tower at most only required an F-tier weapon. But Qin Feng had gone overboard and equipped the tower with D-rank!

    As they approached the fortress, Liu Hui realized what he saw before was only child¡¯s y.

    The Crystal Cannons on the fortress seemed to be C-tier. Some of therger cannons could even be categorized into B-tier.

    The closer he got, the more daunting the fortress became. He subconsciously slowed down his hover car and became more vignt.

    Liu Hui was stopped in front of the fortress. Guarding the gate was a C-tier ability user.

    He was Qin Feng¡¯s new subordinate newly recruited from Dusan¡ªYuan Xiaoguang.

    ¡°The fee to enter is 5 million. The lowest tier allowed is C5.¡± Yuan Xiaoguang was spirited when he finally saw a visitor. He had been sent to guard the gate the day before. It was a temporary cement, as his job here was to deliver the message and deter new visitors. He was a little upset when he did not get to flex his muscles at anyone on the first day.

    Liu Hui was a little unhappy when he heard about the rule. ¡°I am just one sub-tier lower. I am a C4-tier gunner. Could you please let me through?¡±

    ¡°One sub-tier makes all the difference. But if you are confident enough and think of yourself as highly as a prodigy, then I won¡¯t mind letting you in,¡± Yuan Xiaoguang said.

    Liu Hui¡¯s purpose was to gather information so he did not insist on entering. Instead, he began to chat with Yuan Xiaoguang.

    Yuan Xiaoguang was bored too so he did not mind thepany.

    ¡°What¡¯s Governor Qin¡¯s purpose of building this ce? I heard that there¡¯s already a tunnel activated inside. What will he do with it?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not something you should worry about now. Only B-tiers would be allowed to enter the tunnel.¡±

    ¡°For free?¡±

    ¡°Of course not! The fee would be 100 billion,¡± Yuan Xiaoguang answered carefreely.

    Liu Hui was almost choked by his own saliva. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

    ¡°Are you kidding me? How much did you say?¡±

    ¡°100 billion. Do you think it¡¯s a lot?¡± Yuan Xiaoguang raised his eyebrow. ¡°As you know, the crystal core of a Cinderst Golem is worth 30 billion in the market. Killing 4 golems will break even the fee. Now tell me again, do you think the price is too much for a B-tier?¡±

    Liu Hui was speechless. Indeed, it seemed to be worth it for a B-tier.

    However, there was something important missing in this seemingly ¡°wless¡± calction.

    ¡°How about the risk? The ce must be full of Cinderst Golems, withva everywhere. Who knows what other danger might be lurking in there? It would be a waste if the B-tier couldn¡¯t kill a single golem in the end!¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang snorted, ¡°Then it would be their own fault. These past few days, President Qin has entered and returned safely three times. The number of power cores he brought back could already be lumped into a small hill. If others can¡¯t do it, then it simply means they are incapable.¡±

    Liu Hui¡¯s head was spinning now. He was getting too much mind-boggling information at one go¡ªthe extravagant price of the ticket and the small hill of power cores Qin Feng had gathered in three days.

    ¡°Why are you asking anyway? Not that you can enter the dimension. You would be cooked before even setting foot in the dimension.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Not that I am here to get ess to the portal.¡± Liu Hui finally remembered his scouting purpose.

    ¡°How about this, I will pay you 5 million and you let me go in to take a look. I don¡¯t have the money to enter the tunnel anyway.¡±

    Yuan Xiaoguang thought about it and nodded. ¡°Fair enough. Go in then.¡±

    ¡°Thanks, bro!¡±

    Liu Hui paid the money and entered the fortress. He realized there was nothing unique inside the fortress, except for the two giant pirs at the center square used to activate the tunnel. Beside the two pirs was listed the rules for those who wish to ess it.

 Chapter 647 - A BunChapter of Wasters

    <h4>Chapter 647: A Bunch of Wasters</h4>

    Other than the 100 billion entrance fee, a B-tier aptitude user could bring along ten C-tiers to assist him or her. These helpers would not be charged. It made sense to Liu Hui now why Fengli charged 5 million first at the gate.

    ¡®They are trying to pry money from us C-tiers!¡¯ Liu Hui thought about it dejectedly. A B-tier could bring along ten C-tiers. If the C-tiers wanted toe in, then they would need to pay up at the front gate. Five million to exchange for a rare opportunity to fight alongside a B-tier.

    Would the B-tier subsidize or even absorb the payment?

    That was really hard to say!

    For a C-tier, such an opportunity did note by very often.

    Lui Hui was depressed. He might be able to sneak in this time but not next time. After all, he was just a C4-tier.

    Liu Hui decided to stay put inside the fortress. Even though the living fees might be high here, he could still afford it with his wealth as a C-tier.

    He then wasted no time and sent out the information he had gathered.

    Liu Hui was not the only one that had entered the fortress to do scouting. The news spread like wildfire and stirred an uproar among the aptitude users.

    One hundred billion was not a lot whenpared to the potential profit.

    Still, it was not an amount a B-tier could spend without concern.

    Besides, everyone knew who the biggest earner was in all this.

    Whoever controlled this lucrative dimension would have extrapting profit and resources in the years toe.

    That, without a doubt, invited a lot of jealousy. A lot of B-tiers would love to have a piece of it.

    ¡°We can¡¯t allow Qin Feng to monopolize this.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. A lot of people have joined the hunt of the Cinderst Golems. How could he im the ce for himself?¡±

    ¡°I believe Governor Qin will wee us to develop the dimension together. Such a good ce would undoubtedly draw unwanted attention from treacherous parties. It would be better to have more forces protecting the ce.¡±

    They found themselves some brilliant excuses and departed to the city without any dy.

    It was still Yuan Xiaoguang standing guard near the gate. He politely invited the B-tier into the fortress without charging them.

    Qin Feng, who was meditating in a secret room inside the fortress, opened up his eyes.

    ¡°So, they havee?¡±

    ¡°Yes. Eight of them. Don¡¯t seem particrly durable.¡± Bai Li curled her lips.

    ¡°We won¡¯t need to fight them if they are willing to listen.¡±

    Qin Feng stood up and walked out with Bai Li.

    The visitors did not wait for long before Qin Feng showed up.

    ¡°Congrats, Governor!¡±

    ¡°Governor Qin, the North Sea has been developing steadily ever since you were appointed. With the new Cinderst Dimension, the economy will take another huge step forward.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡±

    Everyone ttered Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng put up a gentle smile and said, ¡°Opportunity oftenes hand in hand with crisis. The appearance of Cinderst Golems and the Cinder Pine did catch me off guard. Luckily, we were able to eliminate them and set up the Cinderst Dimension passage. Through this, we could at leastpensate for the loss during the battle.¡±

    The few B-tiers looked at each other and replied, ¡°What is Governor Qin talking about? You suffered a loss? To me, you should be the biggest winner out of this!¡±

    ¡°True. But the defense of the North Sea is the weakest among all the regions. If the passage ever bes unstable and rips into a rift again, I reckon Cinderst City would be hit the hardest.¡±

    ¡°People from the Dark Coalition would not rest in front of this tempting fortune, too.¡±

    Qin Feng sneered but did not say another word. It was Bai Li who opened her mouth instead. She spoke out of curiosity, ¡°Dark Coalition? Haha! They were the ones killed and fed to the tree, right? They are stupid if they think they could ever threaten us with that kind of capability. I am not worried about them at all.¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s words were rather arrogant.

    Nheless, B-tiers who were on the scene right now were probably at a simr level with those Dark Coalition members. In fact, these fighters from the Human Alliance had not shown themselves when Qin Feng battled the Dark Coalition the other day. It was Qin Feng who had single-handedly defeated and killed the troublemakers.

    That made Bai Li¡¯s word irrefutable.

    More so, Bai Li was indirectly looking down on the B-tiers in front of her when she said those words. The faces of these B-tiers ckened quickly.

    ¡°Haha.¡± One of the aptitude usersughed embarrassingly and changed the subject. ¡°Even so, Governor Qin is still too young to stick around Cinderst City all the time. You would eventually need a coborator to help you look after this ce. Besides, everyone here today was involved in the defense against the golems. As such, we are here to lighten your duty this time too. We are happy to help, Governor.¡±

    Qin Feng had long known their intention. Hence, he was not very surprised when one of them spoke it out loud so shamelessly.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine. Even if I am not around, the Floating City above would suffice. I think everyone here certainly knows who the Floating City has killed in the past. I don¡¯t believe anyone will be bold enough to look for trouble here as long it is protected under Fengli.¡±

    Qin Feng had indirectly rejected their demand by saying so.

    All of a sudden, the situation became a little awkward.

    The B-tiers were clearly displeased. They discharged their aura out of anger and created enormous pressure against Qin Feng.

    They were trying to intimidate Qin Feng with their power. If Qin Feng was only a normal C-tier, he would probably already be on his knees.

    ¡°Qin Feng, a special dimension often has huge potential. It¡¯s inappropriate to hog it.¡±

    Qin Feng nced back coldly. ¡°I am not hogging it. Anyone can enter freely as long as they pay up. One hundred billion is not expensive considering the return. If you can¡¯t afford it, then why bother visiting in the first ce?¡±

    ¡°You are not the only one who discovered the rift!¡±

    Qin Feng rebutted, ¡°It¡¯s found in the North Sea right beside my Cinderst City. I can deal with it alone even if none of you came.¡±

    ¡°You can¡¯t just think about your own development. The Human Alliance should work together to fend off dangerous beasts. You are being selfish!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha!¡± Qin Fengughed out loud, ¡°What¡¯s the use of having so many wasters? I rather invest in myself and distribute my wealthter. You would probably thank my generosityter!¡±

    Bam!

    A B-tier mmed the table and stood up. The table shattered into pieces upon impact.

    ¡°Qin Feng, who are you referring to as waster?¡±

    Qin Feng smirked and replied, ¡°No one in particr.¡± He looked around, then spoke slowly, ¡°I mean each and every one of you.¡±

    ¡°You!¡±

    ¡°You are too full of yourself!¡±

    ¡°Do you really think we won¡¯t fight you?¡±

    All eight B-tiers stood up and seemed determined to fight.

    Qin Feng remained seated and red at them coldly. ¡°Are you sure? Think it through. Do you really want to fight me on my turf?¡±

    He pointed outside the window. Through the French window, one could see the cannons beaming grimly on the city wall.

 Chapter 648 - Battle Invite

    <h4>Chapter 648: Battle Invite</h4>

    The B-tiers only realized it now. The cannons were not only aiming outside but were pointing inward too.

    More so, the grade of the energy cannons was simr to that of the Bei Hua¡ªB-tier energy cannon.

    In other words, one st of this cannon was sufficient to put down a B-tier mutated beast, not to mention its effectiveness against aptitude users.

    More importantly, they had simultaneously heard the noise of cannon stretching out from the direction of the Floating City. Their consciousness and senses told them that those cannons were currently focusing on the room they were in.

    Silver radiance hovered around Bai Li. The B-tiers recognized the radiance to be spatial runes.

    They knew because she had used the same runes to teleport them a thousand meters away from the Cinder Pine in the previous battle.

    If Qin Feng were to really open fire, he and Bai Li could easily escape the room, while the others would have to sustain the merciless cannon sts.

    The situation was tense but restrained at the same time.

    One of the B-tiers bellowed, ¡°Qin Feng, are you sure you want to make all of us your enemy? You are just a C-tier. You better watch your appetite. Don¡¯t overestimate yourself.¡±

    Qin Feng refuted, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with having a big appetite? That¡¯s none of your business. I will share my gain where I see fit. But I won¡¯t allow anyone to rob what¡¯s rightfully mine!¡±

    Bai Li chipped in too. ¡°I have never seen someone as thick as you guys. Being righteous and all that. In the end, you are just trying to take advantage of my hubby. Don¡¯t you guys know shame?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? I will just be blunt with you. This newly discovered dimension doesn¡¯t belong to you alone, Qin Feng.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Even if you wish to hog it, you better have enough in the tank to do so.¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t forget that you are not in this all by yourself. You are still a part of the Human Alliance. We won¡¯t hurt you but if you insist on such bullish behavior, we would join up and punish your organization. All goods and weapons from Fengli will be boycotted and you will then know how unwise it is to go against the Human Alliance!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! It¡¯s stupid to offend so many of us at once!¡±

    They seemed to be persuading Qin Feng but were really just threatening Qin Feng to abide. They were testing Qin Feng¡¯s borderline.

    Qin Feng would not listen to them and refuted them one by one.

    ¡°Stop worrying about my tank. You should measure your own first.¡±

    ¡°Boycott my organization? You few clowns?¡±

    ¡°Unwise? If I don¡¯t do as told, then I am stupid? You think too highly of your own opinion!¡±

    Qin Feng seldom talked much. A lot of people who had crossed paths with him usually thought of him as a quiet and cold person.

    But today, he rose above the B-tiers all by himself, giving them tit for tat without losing any ground. In fact, his stance slightly overshadowed the eight aptitude users.

    Before he was reborn, Qin Feng climbed to A-tier from the grassroot level. Though he was not in the upper echelon of the Human Alliance, he was still very powerful and represented a lot of parties at that level.

    Especially when it came to the distribution of resources, he had to fight for himself and his parties¡¯ greatest interest.

    In terms of negotiating and arguing, Qin Feng knew a lot more than these people.

    The debate went on for another two hours and no one was convinced.

    At one point, the aptitude users thought that Qin Feng¡¯s stubbornness was beyond imagination. Their patience was exhausted after such a meaningless quarrel.

    Simultaneously, Qin Feng seemed to have lost his patience too. He yelled, ¡°Who do you think I am? Why should I do as you guys wish? Since you all im that I am not qualified and capable enough to take control of this ce, then let¡¯s make a deal. Three dayster, I will host a battle in the wild in just outside the city. You can forget about coboration if you can¡¯t defeat me within 100 rounds.¡±

    This was the biggest back down Qin Feng was willing to make after such a lengthy discussion.

    The B-tiers were spirited when they heard that. Three persons answered the call instinctively.

    ¡°Great, we were waiting for you to say this.¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are looking for trouble!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t beg when the timees.¡±

    The remaining users were infuriated too. But soon, a bad feeling crossed their minds before they were about to say the same thing.

    The grin on Qin Feng¡¯s mouth confirmed their worries. It did notst long on his face.

    ¡°If that is so, I will take it as a yes. The conversation just now has been recorded. I will submit it to the Human Alliance and ask them to be the judge. I also wee whoever else wants to answer the challenge.¡± He stood up after finished talking. ¡°Now, please leave the city at once.¡±

    The B-tiers finally realized they had been tricked.

    Qin Feng was ying them for two hours and refused to share the profit no matter what. He did that on purpose to exhaust their patience.

    As such, when he suddenly suggested a way in which they could coborate, these people subconsciously thought that Qin Feng had softened his stance.

    Most importantly, Qin Feng had said it in a way that undermined himself.

    ¡°Defeat me in 100 rounds.¡± It sounded like Qin Feng was not very good. Hence, they did not notice the blind spot hidden within the suggestion in the first ce.

    To be frank, these aptitude users could not put Qin Feng down even if they were given 1000 rounds, let alone 100.

    On the contrary, Qin Feng probably needed only ten rounds to kill the most powerful among the eight.

    They had been misled by Qin Feng and it was already toote when they wanted to back out. They had stepped right into Qin Feng¡¯s trap.

    Qin Feng had recording evidence in his hand. They would lose their reputation if they were to eat their own words now.

    Besides, Qin Feng was not just any random governor. He was the champion of the prodigy this year. A-tier regent of Dragon Capital, Shang Han, had heaped high praise on him. If they kept on pressing him, they might step on the tail of the upper echelon.

    As such, the eight users could only swallow their anger and left the fortress furiously.

    The news about the battle invites broke out after the meeting.

    ¡°New spatial tunnel? Cinderst Dimension?¡±

    ¡°The governor from the North Sea will hold an open invite and whoever defeats him could earn control over the dimension?¡±

    ¡°What a good opportunity! North Sea¡¯s governor? Governor of such a backward state is probably nothing to be afraid of.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps he is recruiting strong coborators to protect the new dimension?¡±

    ¡°Only a C-tier!? Luck is on my side!¡±

    There were still a lot of people that had never heard about Qin Feng in this world. Some people who had limited information thought that the lowly governor of the North Sea was only seeking powerful allies to protect the newly found dimension. They thought that it was a brilliant opportunity and headed to Cinderst City without thinking much.

    Qin Feng did not bother to exin and set up an arena near the valley just outside Cinderst City. Simply put, he had earth-type ability users tten the small hills and create a make-shift square.

    There was no audience seating. He also did not clear the wilderness around the arena so the beasts were still roaming freely nearby. When the day arrived, these beasts would be too frightened to stick around anyway.

 Chapter 649 - Latecomers Will be Denied

    <h4>Chapter 649: Laters Will be Denied</h4>

    Within a matter of three days, Cinderst City suddenly became extremely popr.

    Some B-tiers had left but that was a small number inparison to the other people that came in from all over. Besides more B-tiers, there was also a massive amount of C-tiers.

    These people had not heard the news, only rumors which had caused them to arrive.

    Such events were rare enough and these aptitude users would not want to miss this opportunity.

    Back then when Qin Feng was still an F-tier aptitude user, Han Town was a small colony which ended up getting swarmed by aptitude users because of the news about the Crystal Scarab. What was more, it was news about a different dimension.

    The aptitude users wereing in like tides.

    The valley where Qin Feng designated as a ce topete was jam-packed with the shapes and shadows of different people. Based on a rough estimate, there had to be at least three thousand C-tiers and two hundred B-tiers.

    The people gathered in the wilderness were not there because they wanted to hunt ultra beasts, nor because they were going to stave off a beast wave. It was because they came to watch apetition.

    It reminded people of something they would see in a history book, whichter caused plenty more people to flock to that historical site just to see it for themselves and eventually form into a massive crowd.

    On a hill, two B-tiers had furrowed brows. These two were acquaintances of Qin Feng.

    Fu Wenjue and He Liming!

    As for Yang Bei, due to his position, he left Cinderst City. Although he knew that there was a lot of excitement there, he also knew that the situation was impossible.

    Defeat Qin Feng in 100 blows?

    What a joke! It would be impressive if Qin Feng managed to not kill anyone who tried!

    Fu Wenjue and He Liming on the other hand had in fact been invited over by Qin Feng. They would get 3% of the earnings made by the entrance fee into the Cinderst Dimension. In other words, 100 billion tickets meant that they would get 3 billion each.

    What they were asked to do was merely guard the fortress, deal with real battles and defend the Floating City and other machinery.

    With such an offer, it was a lucrative deal that they could not refuse.

    That was how Qin Feng managed to coax these two B-tiers on board.

    ¡°If they actually cause trouble down there, I¡¯d have no idea how to deal with that!¡± Fu Wenjue cracked a wry grin.

    ¡°I just hope Qin Feng would take it easy on them!¡± He Liming replied, feeling a headacheing on.

    ¡°Heh, that sounds right,¡± Fu Wenjie nodded. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that if these people start taking turns for a fight, even Qin Feng would get tired!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng should have prepared himself, so let¡¯s just watch!¡±

    As the two spoke, the time was about 12 in the afternoon.

    It was the end of winter and they were just starting to see the early signs of spring. It was not cold nor was it hot outside and they were constantly sweeping their gaze across the crowd.

    At this moment, a fleet of aircraft in a formation flew into view.

    There were two words clearly printed on each one that said ¡®Feng Li¡¯.

    ¡°He¡¯s here, he¡¯s here!¡±

    ¡°Feng Li is the Governor of the North Sea state¡¯s own organization!¡±

    ¡°Aircrafts are so expensive! How do they have so many?¡±

    ¡°They sell these here, of course there¡¯s a lot!¡±

    More than a dozen aircrafts circled around the valley. One of the aircraftnded on a squarending pad in the valley and when its hatch opened, Qin Feng walked out.

    Many people actually recognized him, even more had seen pictures and videos of him before.

    Even then, when they actually saw him their eyes lit up with some kind of vigor.

    ¡°That¡¯s Qin Feng?¡±

    ¡°This year¡¯s prodigy? He seems so young, no more than twenty years old!¡±

    ¡°So what if he¡¯s a prodigy? Everyone knows that the strongest prodigy is at D-tier, he¡¯s just lucky enough to reach C-tier, but I don¡¯t see how great that is.¡±

    There were people who were surprised by Qin Feng¡¯s appearance and some who were skeptical of him.

    He ignored what people thought about him, got off the aircraft and looked around.

    In just that simple action, everyone around him felt a huge wave of consciousness sweep over them and made them involuntarily shut up and look at him.

    ¡°Since everyone is here, then you all must understand the matter at hand. A few days ago, a powerful spatial rift appeared within my territory. It¡¯s now temporarily under my control and those who are willing to participate can face off against meter on. Those who can beat me in 100 strikes can join me and have the loot split amongst them. The time limit is until 12 at night!¡±

    When Qin Feng finished announcing the rules, he then spat out four more words in a booming voice. ¡°Laters will be denied.¡±

    In other words, after this day if anyone tried toe through, Qin Feng would immediately eject them from the vicinity.

    These four words were powerful and were full of threat and decisiveness that told everyone present how determined Qin Feng was.

    Still, there were many people who were starting to kick up a ruckus.

    There were more than two hundred B-tiers present and they all frowned. They only had twelve hours. If that included everyone present it meant that everyone only had three minutes.

    This would not do at all but at the same time, the longer you wait the smaller a window you would have. This was not a situation where they could wait until the end and try to im victory.

    Still, they would let others go first. Nobody wanted to be the early bird in this match.

    Even if these people did not want to, there would always be brash people about!

    ¡°So, who¡¯s dueling me?¡±

    Qin Feng stood still before his aura burst forth, revealing that he was about C7-tier!

    Some of the C-tiers suddenly frowned. They were regretting their decision. Not everyone here was as strong as Qin Feng was.

    ¡°This guy, Qin Feng, never got his strength verified!¡±

    ¡°He has a C-tier aptitude user¡¯s badge and he¡¯s already C7 tier?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t he a prodigy? How is he so strong yet so young?¡±

    More and more people were suddenly full of bitterness.

    In this case, while some people were bothered, there were a few who were not.

    ¡°I¡¯m going!¡±

    A figure dropped in, the sign hanging from his chest was clearly visible.

    A C9-tier aptitude user!

    Boom!

    The moment he stepped on the ground his stomp immediately caused the earth beneath him to crack. Obviously this person was an ancient warrior.

    ¡°Yang Jing, C9-tier ancient warrior! Please enlighten me!¡±

    The ancient warrior said in a deep voice and immediately started the battle.

    Woom!

    Yang Jing¡¯s internal force burst forth and surrounded him, and it seemed incredibly solid. It could be seen that the man was in fact very close to bing a B-tier!

    ¡°Very well!¡± Qin Feng said cidly.

    When Yang Jing noticed that his opponent had not released their internal force at all he suddenly felt a twinge of anger, believing that Qin Feng was not taking him seriously.

    However, this could be good. All he needed to do was defeat this opponent and he would gain a huge amount of profit.

    His eyes glinted with sharp focus and struck forward, a terrifying force sting out from his palms.

    ¡°Tornado Strike!¡±

    Ancient martial arts flowed through him.

    Of course, this Tornado Strike was merely his first move. He was still guarded and vignt against Qin Feng.

    After watching Yang Jing attack, Qin Feng also made his move.

    An ordinary palm was stuck forward.

    Pang!

    Two bursts of internal force collided in the air.

    Yang Jing was stunned, his internal force was shattered and there was still this st of internal force heading his way.

 Chapter 650 - B-tier Gunners

    <h4>Chapter 650: B-tier Gunners</h4>

    Crash!

    Qin Feng only used one hand, but Yang Jing had to block it with two.

    The man could feel a huge amount of force pressing onto him, knocking his arms aside and forcing him to spread his arms apart.

    ¡°Gah!¡±

    Yang Jing let out a surprised shout.

    This time, Qin Feng shifted and took a step forward, raising his palm for another strike.

    Boom!

    The hand crashed into Yang Jing¡¯s internal force and in that moment his protection was immediately shattered.

    Yang Jing stepped back, shocked, raising his head to lock eyes with Qin Feng only to find that his opponent had struck out again.

    This was Qin Feng¡¯s third strike.

    In a moment¡¯s panic, Yang Jing could only infuse his arms with internal force in an attempt to block Qin Feng¡¯s palm strike.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng sted out his internal force, causing a powerful wave of it to crash into Yang Jing. A huge and powerful burst of his energy fell on his opponent!

    Yang Jing dug his feet ten centimeters into the ground but his body was still pushed back despite his effort, leaving deep gouges in the dirt below. After moving about three meters, he could no longer sustain the pressure and flew out, spinning through the air.

    ¡°Aaaah!!!¡±

    He could not control himself and was sent flying more than thirty meters outward before hitting the ground with a resounding thud. He could feel his insides twist and his arms were as swollen as tree trunks.

    ¡°Blurgh!¡±

    He coughed up a mouthful of blood and his aura seemed to have dropped a level.

    A serious injury!

    The audience was stunned silent!

    A C9-tier ancient warrior was defeated by Qin Feng, a C7-tier aptitude user, and he only hit three times!

    Everyone was unable to believe the situation and was dumbfounded by this.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and waved. ¡°Take him away!¡±

    The Fengli Organization¡¯s people began to drop into the field and were ready to take Yang Jing away.

    Meanwhile, although Yang Jing was heavily injured and unable to continue battling, he still could not believe how he lost. Not to mention, this waspletely different from what he had expected.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I¡¯m not strong enough to defeat you, yet you retaliate and injure me, what gives?¡± Yang Jing spoke in a disgruntled tone.

    Qin Feng red at the man and replied with sarcasm, ¡°Oh and I¡¯m supposed to wait for you to hit me a hundred times? Who told you I can¡¯t fight back if someone wants to defeat me? If you don¡¯t have the strength, then don¡¯t step up. Those who want to enjoy crab meat will have to get past the crab¡¯s shell, don¡¯t me yourself if you get pinched!¡±

    After he finished speaking he no longer paid attention to the man. ¡°Take him away!¡±

    ¡°Yes, President!¡±

    The group of Fengli employees that came down quickly rushed forward. Among them was the C-tier wood ability user, Yuan Xiaoguang, making it easy for them to carry the injured man away.

    Yang Jing was taken away, with the gouges left in the ground indicating that he had been there.

    Qin Feng did not let anyone repair that. After all, the battles might get more and more intenseter on. There was not any point in wasting the effort.

    ¡°Next!¡±

    Qin Feng called out, waiting for the next challenger to approach.

    He had shown an excellent example to those who thought that everything he had gained was just a fluke. Many C-tiers suddenly broke out in cold sweat, believing that they were the lucky ones.

    Good thing they did not step forward or else they might have ended up like Yang Jing!

    Qin Feng indeed never mentioned that he could not retaliate, and he could defeat his opponent to attain victory.

    However, for the B-tiers, this was not a good thing.

    ¡°Qin Feng you brat, he was waiting for us this whole time!¡±

    ¡°Of course it wouldn¡¯t be this easy!¡±

    ¡°I did some background check earlier and this kid can kill B-tiers and did it more than once. Not only that, he wiped out an entire nest of insectoids along with a C-tier insectoid king!¡±

    However, this news only indicated that Qin Feng had the strength of a B-tier but it did not exceed a B-tier.

    After all, those who were B-tier had the ability to take down a C-tier insectoid king anyway!

    And the temptation of another dimension was obviously something more alluring than the doubt they had.

    The people who came here, even some from the Dark Coalition under false identities, only wanted a piece of it.

    Finally, when it looked like there was no point in dragging it on, a B-tier stepped into the field.

    This aptitude user was carrying guns in their hands.

    ¡°Oh? A B-tier gunner?¡± Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.

    It could be said that among one hundred G-tiers, there would be one ability user, ten ancient warriors and the remaining eighty nine would be gunners. However in B-tier, there would be one gunner, ten ability users and eighty nine ancient warriors.

    Being this one percent meant that the gunners who had reached this level of power must have had an incredible control over consciousness, unique firearms and terrifying prowess.

    ¡°President Qin, it¡¯s a pleasure to meet you, I won¡¯t be usingrge weapons with high firepower but the two guns I¡¯m holding should suffice. That means you¡¯ll have to be careful!¡±

    As the gunner spoke, he had already raised the two guns in his hands.

    When Qin Feng saw the gunner¡¯s face his heart skipped a beat.

    This man was someone he recognized.

    The King of Guns, Jin Hao!

    In the future he would be an A-tier gunner, unlike no other in the world.

    This person had a powerful consciousness, which was also the reason why he became an A-tier.

    If Cui Lian was known as the me Lord, then one could only imagine just how powerful Jin Hao was if he had the title of ¡®King of Guns¡¯.

    He was someone Qin Feng did not expect to appear!

    When he thought about it, before his rebirth, the Cinderst Dimension attracted more than thirty aptitude users tobine efforts and split the loot. It was not clear if Jin Hao was among those people but with that in mind Qin Feng quicklyposed himself.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s do this!¡±

    Qin Feng did not n on hurting Jin Hao too badly. After all, he was only scaring the others away so he would not waste any time by beating down that C9-tier ancient warrior. Doing that would make them more self-conscious.

    Nobody issued the call to begin but the two moved at the same time.

    Jin Hao shifted one of his guns and burst out a wave of energy and formed arge enough to wrap around Qin Feng.

    Electricity crackled throughout this, and it was clearly made out of thunder and lightning runes. If he was caught in something like that his mobility would be greatly affected.

    Bzzzt!

    Therge fell to the ground and did not find its target.

    Qin Feng had long since disappeared!

    However, Jin Hao did not panic. He raised another hand and shot out another electric.

    His consciousness was powerful enough that he could lock onto Qin Feng while he was moving.

    However, there was a difference between locking on and wanting to attack.

    After a few attempts it was obvious that this was not going to work.

    Five shots. The gunner had been counting his moves. Jin Hao¡¯s eyes gleamed with seriousness.

    With a twirl of his guns, he began to pick up the pace. The guns no longer fired out electric webs but instead actual lightning.

    Bzzt pew!

    Purple crackling electricity was sent all over the field, momentarily causing those watching to jump.

    On both sides of the valley, the B-tiers were watching with concentration while the C-tiers were watching with amazement.

    This was a B-tier battle. Besides those that were able to follow and the B-tiers, it was difficult for many C-tiers to figure out what was going on.

    What they understood was that the powerful attack did not hit Qin Feng.

    Even as the lightning sted at Qin Feng¡¯s internal force, he managed to shrug it off as if he was walking in the park and was inconvenienced by a light rain.

    It had already been thirty strikes!

 Chapter 651 - You Can All Come at Once

    <h4>Chapter 651: You Can All Come at Once</h4>

    Everyone had their eyes on Jin Hao, anticipating him to continue.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    His consciousness suddenly burst forth and sent one of the grenades hanging from his belt tumbling to the ground, emitting a burst of darkness around him.

    Dark runes.

    Within this darkness, Jin Hao was going to use one of his special moves. This darkness was not only meant to deal with Qin Feng, it was to also conceal one of the aces up his sleeve.

    But for a moment, he was taken aback because Qin Feng had suddenly disappeared from his perception!

    ¡°How?!¡±

    He was surprised, but in the next moment, he could feel a terrifying and murderous auraing from behind him.

    Snap!

    Jin Hao quickly pressed a switch and a small energy shield unfolded on his back!

    Dong!

    Qin Feng flicked a finger and instantly shattered the energy shield and the st of internal force swept Jin Hao away.

    Jin Hao did not hesitate to quickly right himself with the help of the tech at the base of his feet and instantly propelled himself back, quickly squeezing the triggers of his guns.

    Weom bazzzzt!

    That was 50 moves already!

    A terrifying burst of sma spread outward, threatening to cover Qin Feng.

    At this moment, Qin Feng was bathed in thunder and lightning, looking like some kind of demigod.

    He did not look damaged at all. Sure his internal force flickered and he was even smouldering, but there was no trace of injury on him.

    The electricity dispelled the surrounding dark runes, exposing Qin Feng and Jin Hao. It was then Qin Feng charged forward to attack.

    Jin Hao naturally quickly moved up to dodge this attack. He did not know how strong Qin Feng was but he treated the boy as if he had the strength of a B-tier. As a gunner, he could not let anyone get close to him or else his guns would be useless.

    Krak!

    The energy from his guns began to rapidly rain from the sky.

    However, these were nothing against Qin Feng.

    Just when the battle was reaching its climax, Jin Hao stopped.

    He let out a bitterugh and holstered his guns.

    Everyone that was watching had no idea why he did that.

    ¡°100 moves!¡±

    Jin Hao had a helpless expression on his face. Within these 100 moves, Qin Feng had not been excessively violent with his attacks and he did not give Jin Hao any openings either.

    In this battle, Jin Hou must have suffered a massive loss! His two guns were very powerful but the most terrifying thing was probably how much they cost per shot. He must have used up to tens of billions in a single go!

    This was the life of a gunner.

    After hearing Jin Hou¡¯s words, everyone around him suddenly realized that in this short period of time the gunner had unleashed up to 100 moves.

    ¡°Wait, did he win? That¡¯s amazing!¡±

    Some people eximed and all around him the audience was in a stir, all cheering, even the C-tiers were excitedly apuding.

    Very quickly, someone called out a question.

    ¡°Hold on! It¡¯s not ¡®resist Qin Feng in 100 moves¡¯, it¡¯s ¡®defeat Qin Feng in 100 moves¡¯!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! What the hell are you people cheering for?¡±

    ¡°The battle was so fierce that Ipletely forgot. This Governor Qin is really a monster!¡±

    Due to the disy of strength, many people felt that Qin Feng was unfathomable and they hadpletely forgotten the terms of thepetition.

    Generally speaking, the strong would say ¡®Under 100 moves by my hand¡¯, which led to the fact that when Jin Hao announced that he had made 100 moves many of them had already considered that an incredible feat.

    In fact, the situation was theplete opposite.

    Jin Hao¡¯s consciousness could detect what everyone was saying and the mood of those around him. It was embarrassing. He turned to face Qin Feng and gave him a nod before starting to leave.

    At this time, Qin Feng activated his consciousness and spread it forward.

    ¡°Good sir, would you like to join the Fengli Organization? Our gunner group could use someone like you!¡±

    Jin Hao was taken aback, he did not expect Qin Feng to say something like this. He would admit that Qin Feng was very powerful, but not strong enough to reach A-tier. In fact, Qin Feng was not even B-tier yet and he wanted to rope him into his organization?

    Was this overconfidence?

    Qin Feng naturally understood that because of the alternate dimension he was able to get He Liming on his bandwagon, and he did not mind if someone else were to hop on as well.

    ¡°I know what you¡¯re thinking but after this is over, why don¡¯t you join me in the dimension I¡¯m excavating. However, I¡¯ll only give you 1% of our profits!¡±

    ¡°As for the decision to join the Fengli Organization, you make that decision when the timees!¡±

    With this, Qin Feng had given enough temptation!

    Jin Hao came to participate in the raid on the other ne. For him, Qin Feng¡¯s offer could not be refused.

    ¡°I¡¯ll think about it!¡±

    Although he had already been moved, Jin Hao knew that he would still have to pay a price if he agreed and decided to think about it.

    The conversation between the two¡¯s consciousness was brief but they took a few seconds to take down each other¡¯smunicator number.

    The other B-tiers who heard this were tempted as well.

    ¡°This Qin Feng, he says that whoever defeats him would be able to participate in the other dimension. In truth, it¡¯s to give other people a chance to disy their power. Whoever could match him within a hundred moves might still have a chance!¡±

    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then the sooner you get in there, the better it is. Are you waiting for others to take the lead?¡±

    ¡°No matter how good a cake is, it wouldn¡¯t be enough to feed everyone!¡±

    Everyone had their own thoughts, so even after Jin Hao left a few people hopped into the field as fast as lightning.

    At that moment there were more than five people in the ring.

    Among these five people, four of them were the B-tiers that had previouslye to Cinderst City.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes glinted with a cold light.

    ¡°Haha, Inded first!¡±

    One of them burst outughing.

    ¡°Then that means I¡¯m second!¡±

    ¡°How about we go in one by one?¡±

    Upon seeing this, the other B-tiers were speechless.

    These people actually came looking for a fight and were lining up for it.

    Just when they were also deciding if they should join in as well, Qin Feng¡¯s voice rang out over the field.

    ¡°Don¡¯t bother, you five. You can all fight me together!¡±

    There was still some bickering amongst them, and the B-tiers that he did not like thought they were hallucinating when they heard Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    What did that mean?

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re letting us alle at you?¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and said, ¡°I said that three days ago...¡±

    The five were taken aback, unsure what he was talking about but Qin Feng instinctively could not say anything nice.

    At the corner of his mouth, his mouth twitched into a sarcastic smirk.

    ¡°You¡¯re all trash, I¡¯d never cooperate with you!¡±*

    That made the five people furious.

    ¡°Qin Feng, prepare to die!¡±

    Hatred both new and old, suppressed anger, all broke out at once.

    ¡°Searing me de!¡±

    One of them quickly pulled out their weapon and aimed it at Qin Feng, unleashing a menacing ming de.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face hardened into an icy fierceness and his internal force broke out.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Trantor¡¯s Note: I feel bad for the one guy who wasn¡¯t part of the four that jumped down.

 Chapter 652 - Doubt

    <h4>Chapter 652: Doubt</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force had already reached B-tier, but it was ten times stronger than other B-tier ancient warriors in their peak form.

    He had concealed it before, only unleashing it when he was fighting beast emperors and disying that he could take them on.

    Now, he did not want to hide it.

    Boom!

    The internal force formed into an airstream that circled around Qin Feng, turning into a fearsome aura that spun outward to attack his attackers.

    The attacker¡¯s internal force was no match against Qin Feng¡¯s. The moment both internal forces collided, his attacker¡¯s defense was crushed by Qin Feng¡¯s power.

    ¡°Hyaaah!¡±

    All five people eximed as they activated their internal force to resist Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    The surrounding air became distorted and in the surrounding one hundred meters, those who were C-tier turned pale.

    At this distance, they could still feel this violent energy as if it was there. One could only imagine how terrible the battle truly was.

    Qin Feng was expressionless, this distortion of air that surrounded him made him seem as if he was taller.

    Even then, the other five who had been insulted earlier were still raring to go, their faces flushed with rage.

    They nted their feet onto the ground and stabilized their center of bnce with their internal force.

    But with the constant exertion of internal force, one person could not manage to hold on!

    ¡°Eee!¡±

    That person eximed as he was affected by Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion technique and flew out toward his opponent.

    In a moment¡¯s panic, the man¡¯s expression changed and stopped trying to resist as he injected his legs with internal force.

    As he rushed through the air, he increased in velocity as he flew toward Qin Feng and pointed his weapon directly at his opponent.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    The man roared, obviously intending on attacking Qin Feng and destroying him.

    With a flick of his hand, Qin Feng pushed out a st of internal force and instantly dispelled the internal force surrounding his attacker¡¯s weapon.

    He then grabbed his attacker¡¯s weapon!

    This weapon exuded golden light. It was obviously made out of beast king material and cost a lot. It looked like a C-tier beast king weapon.

    Of course, Qin Feng did not grab the man¡¯s weapon with his bare hands. He was wearing the gauntlets of the Sacred Armor.

    Suddenly his hand burst out a dazzling white light that rushed over the golden weapon.

    Crack!

    A crack emerged on the de and Qin Feng crushed it with his hand, shocking his opponent.

    Then he struck the man on the shoulder.

    Boom!

    It was not a fatal blow. Qin Feng was already showing mercy, and his opponent was wearing inner armor. However, with great strength he sent the man flying.

    ¡°Blurgh!¡±

    The B-tier ancient warrior threw up a stream of blood as he flew through the air.

    The others were struggling to maintain their footing but after seeing the first person advance instead of retreating they all reacted by rxing their bodies and then surging toward Qin Feng.

    Before they had even reached their target, they saw someone fly past them already in utter defeat!

    It was at this moment these four people realized that they were in for something horrible!

    At this point, they started to have doubts.

    ¡°You regret it now? Is there a chance for that now?¡±

    Of course there was no chance for regret!

    When Qin Feng sent the one flying away and saw four more appear after him, he did not hesitate to change the direction where his internal force rotated.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion, Repel!¡±

    A repelling force sted out and mixed with the attracting force earlier, causing the four people to shudder at the same time.

    ¡°Pfft! Blurk! Hurk! rgh!¡±

    All four of them coughed up blood at the same time, and flew back five meters before crashing to the ground and rolling twice before stopping.

    It really was embarrassing.

    In this scene, Qin Feng was the only one standing and everyone else was on their backs.

    This battle was even more shocking than the first.

    Following the silence, there was an abrupt uproar.

    ¡°Three moves, three moves again!¡±

    ¡°This time it¡¯s one against five!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s Qin Feng? Well-deserved reputation I¡¯d say!¡±

    The C-tiers were all excited but the B-tiers had different expressions.

    Qin Feng¡¯s power was far beyond their expectations.

    Meanwhile, back on the field.

    Qin Feng looked at the five people and said, ¡°You guys still want to fight?¡±

    ¡°I admit defeat!¡± One of the B-tiers said immediately. Qin Feng disyed internal force that he naturally felt could rival a B-tier ancient warrior¡¯s.

    The other four heard the man admit defeat and although they were reluctant, they too admitted defeat.

    These four were part of the people who went to negotiate with Qin Feng a few days ago. What they did not understand was that their attempts earlier ended up offending him.

    To them, he was just a prodigy and it did not matter how strong he was.

    So what if they offended a C-tier? If they teamed up they could take him on.

    But now they realized that such an idea waspletely naive.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    A B-tier said and turned to leave, having lost his figurative face.

    The others naturally left in embarrassment.

    The only person left standing in the field was Qin Feng.

    He looked around and called out again, internal force pouring into his voice and amplifying it so it would spread up to one hundred meters.

    ¡°Next!¡±

    There wasmotion in the crowd. The C-tiers gingerly looked at the B-tiers and the B-tiers were obviously conflicted.

    The four B-tiers who went down suddenly felt like they looked like clowns in front of everyone else.

    Qin Feng agreed to let thempete but there was no way he would have let them participate in entering the dimension.

    The others had their own worries.

    ¡°Why is Qin Feng¡¯s power so scary?¡±

    ¡°The first one, we can say he wasn¡¯t strong enough. The second one, he was going easy on him. Then he immediately crushed the third group of people. What¡¯s going on in his mind?¡±

    ¡°He must be looking for partners for cooperation, but what are the conditions?¡±

    ¡°Defeat him in 100 moves? This could only be ¡®not getting defeated in 100 moves¡¯!¡±

    All the B-tiers had lost their beaming faces.

    They were confident before, but now they were filled with doubt.

    The scene was silent for a whole minute, a stark contrast to the five people who had leapt into the ring to face Qin Feng.

    He was not in a hurry, but the B-tiers that have had enough of the atmosphere finally stepped out.

    Pop!

    Finally someone dropped into the field, it was a kind-looking middle-aged man.

    ¡°Governor Qin, your reputation is well-deserved. However, I am interested in this rift, so I hope I can cooperate with you!¡±

    He did not immediately strike down the smiling man and nodded.

    ¡°Begin!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    When the B-tier attacked, his moves were very fluid. It was extravagant in style and obviously the man was showing off.

    It was a shame that Qin Feng did not look like he was going to try testing the other man.

    It seemed like the second match had created an illusion about this whole event for these people!

    Qin Feng made his move.

    Whoosh!

    Pap! He struck out with a palm

    Boom boom!

    ¡°Aaieee!¡±

    With just three moves he sent the man flying, and utterly defeated.

    Qin Feng was not holding back.

    In that moment, the entire scene became quiet once again.

 Chapter 653 - Invitation from the East

    <h4>Chapter 653: Invitation from the East</h4>

    The man¡¯s attempt was obviously useless but after he was defeated, more B-tiers joined in.

    ¡°Qin Feng has upied this area, so naturally he wants to use his skills to snatch it away from others! I don¡¯t know the head nor tail of this all but I want to see if Qin Feng¡¯s everything he¡¯s said to be!¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t walk into a tiger¡¯s den without fighting a tiger!¡±

    ¡°Tch. I don¡¯t believe he¡¯s so strong. Paid actors. All of them.¡±

    ¡°Why don¡¯t we team up?¡±

    ¡°Team up? Not a bad idea!¡±

    These people stepped into the field when thest one was dragged out. There were three of them in total.

    ¡°Since Governor Qin challenged five other people before, you don¡¯t mind if we three try, would you?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t mind!¡± Qin Feng said with a mocking smile at the corner of his lips. ¡°Because it¡¯s useless!¡±

    These three had experienced Qin Feng¡¯s venomous remarks before. At this time, even though they knew that their behavior was probably uneptable, they still stepped forward.

    Bearing their frustrations, they all came in together. It was just a pity that these three would still get defeated by Qin Feng and be unable to keep battling because of their injuries.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    As soon as he called out, four more people appeared immediately!

    Qin Feng dispatched those who approached him and quickly swept the floor with them!

    ¡°Again!¡±

    ¡°Who else?¡±

    ¡°Nobody?¡±

    He fought wave after wave, from noon to night. At this time, half of the B-tiers had been spent.

    However, nobody seeded except for the second match.

    As the sky gradually darkened, the hearts of those who were left began to sink.

    ¡°You all know that in addition to being an ancient warrior, I¡¯m also a dark ability user. This darkness isn¡¯t going to be good for you!¡±

    The people who did not step in felt their mouths well up with bitterness!

    Until now, they have had no confidence at all and only now they were reminded that Qin Feng was also an ability user.

    Indeed, he was not only a dark ability user. He used fire as well!

    He could defeat everyone that came at him with ancient martial arts alone, what about abilities?

    Qin Feng waited for five minutes but there was nobody left.

    All of these people were retreating!

    He spoke in a booming voice, ¡°If nobody else ising, then that would be all for today. From now on whether it¡¯s Cinderst City or the Cinderst Dimension, I hope you will follow my rules. Or else...¡±

    Qin Feng did not continue on, but this was someone that would be worse than an A-tier if he was provoked.

    These people understood why the others could not take on Qin Feng, the guy had way too many aces up his sleeve.

    When he made sure that nobody else wasing and nobody was opposing him, as if quietly acknowledging his statement, he was satisfied.

    It was not wasted. He spent so much time fighting these people.

    With so many ancient warriors and ability users that came at him, he would have gotten even stronger if he killed them all.

    There were so many B-tiers, but in this spring season a lot of them were sitting idle. And if they did get killed, Qin Feng would be the most wanted criminal in the Huaxia Alliance.

    ¡°Well then. I wee everyone to my fortress and to the spatial rift.¡±

    After that, the aircraft that he exited from opened its hatch and he took to the air before hopping into the aircraft.

    Immediately afterward, all of the Fengli cannons were evacuated from the area and all that was left was a ruined battlefield. The people in the valley also began to slowly trickle out.

    Among them, the only person that was asked to cooperate with Qin Feng was the King of Guns, Jin Hao.

    The Cinderst Dimension was different from the Northern Abyss of Beihua City and the Far Woond.

    The ne was not dangerous and with Bai Li being able to control space, it would open when she willed it to and stay closed if she wanted it to.

    This spatial rift had be very profitable and it was ranked quite highly.

    That night, Qin Feng ushered in the first batch of customers. More than thirty people came along with three hundred C-tiers with them. The entrance fee collected up to 3 trillion in an instant.

    Those C-tier entrance fees were put into maintenance costs, enough for the maintenance of the fortress itself and swap out the guns whenever they needed maintenance.

    Jin Hao, Fu Wenjue and He Liming were all nervous. Good thing the B-tiers had just entered the dimension and did not really cause much trouble. On the contrary, Qin Feng and Bai Li were not worried at all. Qin Feng spent his time recovering his internal force.

    ¡°It¡¯s really not worth it to hit someone and not kill them!¡±

    Qin Feng sat cross-legged in the practice room. After fighting for an entire afternoon and challenging nearly up to a hundred people, even if his power was limitless his internal force was still consumed very quickly.

    The most important thing was that he did not have supplements!

    In the past, he fought and killed ultra beasts and as long as the ultra beast was killed and its energy diminished he could recover his lost strength and consciousness. This time, there was no such treatment!

    Fortunately, with the help of his Asteroid Assimtion he could absorb the natural energies around him very quickly. It only took him one night to recover.

    The following days had the dimension meet plenty of high-level aptitude users. Some left in embarrassment and some never made it out. Still, this was the cost of exploring an alternate realm, nobody would be able to get anything if they did not pay the price for it.

    Qin Feng wanted to enter it but soon he received some news.

    It was from the Eastern Region!

    Winter had passed and everything was recovering in spring, but this was the time where they had the least resources!

    And there was a beast wave outbreak!

    Last time, Qin Feng was in the Dusan Basin andpleted the winter siege mission. He then returned back to the North Sea state. By now, even those higher up officers knew about Qin Feng¡¯s possession of a dimension.

    By now, Qin Feng had already taken care of everything, and naturally people were looking in his direction.

    Qin Feng promised someone back then, Tung Yang, the regent of the Eastern Region that if nothing else was happening he would go to to the Abyssal Ocean.

    Tung Yang came forward and contacted Shang Han, but he could not follow up on his request. Same job equaled the same responsibilities.

    However, the task of seeking out Qin Feng had been given to his secretary Mn!

    Mn was not very powerful, but as a secretary her work was outstanding. She had already added Qin Feng¡¯s number to hismunicator and was always paying attention.

    Sure enough when she learned that Qin Feng had stabilized the Cinderst Dimension she immediately contacted him.

    ¡°Sorry to bother you at this time Governor Qin but the Eastern Region is in a veryplicated and dangerous situation right now. Fights are about to break loose on the Abyssal Ocean and the coast line has been blocked. On behalf of the Eastern Region, I sincerely plead for you toe and lend a hand!¡±

    Mn¡¯s words were those from the heart.

    Due to having the job of needing to keep tabs on Qin Feng all the time, Mn inevitably looked up for information on Qin Feng.

    What she found was very strange. Wherever Qin Feng went, all the ces had experienced a drastic change!

 Chapter 654 - Heading Toward East Sea City

    <h4>Chapter 654: Heading Toward East Sea City</h4>

    The North Sea Desert turned into an oasis?

    The Far Woond had turned into a fortress sanctuary.

    Since Qin Feng¡¯s annihtion at the Dusan Basin, even the borders were expanded for approximately twenty kilometres, and it was highly possible that there would not be any urrence of major beast waves in the next ten years.

    Would such an incident also transform the Abyssal Ocean?

    Mn¡¯s expectation was diminished by the wide ocean that came into her mind, and she only hoped that it would be a peaceful and safe year ahead!

    With a hopeful mind, Mn reached out to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not expect Mn to be in such a hurry, and it made him curious. ¡°How bad is the situation at the Abyssal Ocean now?¡±

    ¡°The Abyssal Ocean is now facing constant threats, and dying it is no longer an option anymore! The borders have already experienced massive tsunamis twice, and eruptions of waterspouts thrice!¡±

    Mn did not even wish to talk about the death counts, it was no longer necessary to look back into it.

    Qin Feng was aware of the severity of the situation at the Abyssal Ocean, but he did not expect so many eruptions to have already urred during the early spring season.

    Also, such a disaster was not a natural phenomenon, but it was due to the havoc incitement of horrifying ocean creatures.

    The affected ones would always be those unfortunate cities nearby.

    Hence, it seemed like Qin Feng had no excuse to turn a blind eye anymore!

    ¡°Alright then, I will depart for the East Sea City in an hour!¡±

    Mn was instantly delighted and immediately answered, ¡°I will send someone there to wait for your arrival!¡±

    ¡°Hmm!¡±

    Both of them ended the call, Mn immediately began with the preparation, while Qin Feng also initiated an emergency announcement.

    Even before Qin Feng had agreed to the request, he had already obtained the spatial waymark of the East Sea City. Therefore, he just needed to activate it and he would be able to immediately arrive at the city.

    However, it was obvious that he was nning to act alone.

    ¡°Bai Li, I am nning to go into the ocean by myself, I will count on you to take care of Cindest City temporarily!¡± Qin Feng told Bai Li.

    ¡°You can be assured that this is my territory, I doubt that anybody would dare to look for trouble here!¡±

    Certainly, Qin Feng believed in Bai Li, however, he still reminded her, ¡°You can go into the Cinderst Dimension to hunt for the Cinderst Golems and trade the cores with B-tier beast emperor cores, it will allow you to gradually increase your capability, and it is unfortunate that we did not seize the opportunity that we had with the Cinder Pine!¡±

    The most valuable part of the pine was taken by Z, and during the dying moment of the pine, its energy had allowed Qin Feng to experience physical transformation again. Therefore, one could imagine the horrifying amount of essence that the Cinder Pine had.

    With Bai Li¡¯s capability and her beast emperor form, she might be able to shake and influence the Cinder Pine.

    Hence, it was the reason for Qin Feng to have Bai Li go there and not restrict her growth potential.

    ¡°If that is what you want, I will go and get it!¡±

    ¡°Be careful, it is not a must to get it! It would be better to not sh with the others!¡± Qin Feng became worried again and said, ¡°If the sh is unavoidable, kill everyone, and leave nobody alive!¡±

    Bai Li had certainly taken everymand from Qin Feng seriously, and she immediately nodded.

    Qin Feng did not bother if he had educated a ughter demon by himself, as he just did not want Bai Li to be bullied!

    However, in order to keep the other B-tiers at bay, the best option was to have Bai Li stay behind.

    Qin Feng went ahead to instruct the others, and after everything else was in ce, the spatial waymark was then activated.

    Spatial conversion took ce immediately, and as soon as Qin Feng regained his vision, the surrounding sceneries, weather, and atmosphere had already changed.

    The surrounding temperature was at least twenty degrees warmer than the North Sea state.

    Although the North Sea state was going through spring, the average temperature was still about negative ten degree celsius. However, the Eastern region was already at fifteen degree celsius!

    Of course, aptitude users were not affected by the changes of weather. However, the presence of weather changes were still noticeable from their skin, and the humidified air had allowed humans to breathe in air that had more moisture.

    The East Sea City was a safe and secured city, therefore, simr to the Dragon Capital, the published spatial waymark was also located at the outbounds of the city.

    Upon Qin Feng¡¯s appearance, ady outside was instantly surprised.

    ¡°Governor Qin!¡±

    Qin Feng was alerted by the voice and looked toward thedy who was before him. She had appealing body features, and had on attractive leatherbat fatigues,bined with an innerbat vest that revealed her curves.

    She had curly hair that was let loose around her neck while she wore a hat on top, she definitely looked like an alluringdy!

    However, as Qin Feng looked at her, he only paid attention to the C3-tier badge on her chest, and he immediately looked away.

    ¡°Hi!¡± Qin Feng answered with a deep and cid tone.

    Thatdy identified Qin Feng and immediately approached with a lovely smile.

    ¡°I am He Jia, Secretary Ma has sent me to wee you!¡± He Jia extended her tender and soft hand.

    Qin Feng showed his respect and shook her hand once, and he immediately moved his hand away.

    ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s head toward the docks!¡± Qin Feng continued. He did not have much time to waste, therefore, he seemed to be straight forward with his intentions. Also, it was not his first arrival at the Abyssal Ocean.

    Whenpared to the others, he was much more experienced at naval warfare.

    He Jia was shocked and asked, ¡°Don¡¯t you want to rest for a little? I have arranged a ce for you at East Sea City, you may first enjoy for a while here!¡±

    As the word enjoy was mentioned, He Jia had even intentionally hinted with a lick on her lips.

    Obviously, it was a hint that she was part of the enjoyment.

    However, Qin Feng frowned as he gave her a stare and answered in a cold voice, ¡°Secretary Ma has requested for me to be here in such a hurry, it is definitely not about enjoying myself here!¡±

    Qin Feng had already agreed for the battle period to be half a month, unlike his time spent at the Dusan Basin, the support would not be as long as a month.

    From his recalled memories, there were still a lot of opportunities that he could seize, therefore, time was always precious to him.

    He Jia, who was rejected by Qin Feng, immediately felt awkward, as she did not expect Qin Feng to respond in such an emotionless way.

    However, as He Jia had already been reminded by Mn of Qin Feng¡¯s mighty presence and powerful capabilities, she was afraid of going against him or ying any mind tricks. She immediately answered, ¡°Well, let¡¯s head over to the docks now, I will arrange for the vessel toe over!¡±

    ¡°Hmm!¡±

    Qin Feng did not reject it as He Jia took out a hover car.

    ¡°Governor Qin, this way please!¡±

    Qin Feng took the backseat as the car cruised steadily along the main road and headed toward the docks.

    Half an hourter, the docks were already visible to Qin Feng, and it seemed to be bustling with noise and crowds.

    There were at least tens of colossal fleets that were parked along the docks, all of those were deep-sea vessels.

    It was exactly the most important tool to roam around the deep-seas.

    The usage of deep-sea vessels at the Abyssal Ocean was almost simr to the usage of Qin Feng¡¯s aircrafts.

    Also, aircrafts were non-essential options, but deep-sea vessels were mandatory.

    All of those vessels were also varied by their usages.

    ¡°Governor Qin, I have prepared for you the Ocean Phantom, a powerful and audacious deep-sea vessel for you to roam the Abyssal Ocean, it is able to withstand attacks from B-tier beast kings, and it is highly ranked for its travelling speed!¡±

    He Jia introduced Qin Feng to the vessel and asked, ¡°As for the crew members, you can just recruit them by paying them sries.¡±

 Chapter 655 - Favouritism?

    <h4>Chapter 655: Favouritism?</h4>

    Naturally, C-tier aptitude users were all around the area.

    On some of the battlefields, with Longchuan as an example, C-tiers were regarded as powerful figures that would be the crucial support for a team. However, at the Abyssal Ocean, C-tiers were just sources for core energy output, and they would be spearheaded by B-tiers.

    Unless they were lucky enough to not fall into any dangerous situations without the presence of B-tiers, it would definitely be a total annihtion for them.

    However, those C-tiers that were recruited would have already prepared themselves to be sacrificed in the battles. After all, most of the B-tiers would have their own crew members and they would certainly favor and protect their own people.

    Qin Feng walked up to the docks, soon he arrived next to the Ocean Phantom. The East Sea City affiliated deep-sea vessel had already been released, and it had a daily rental fee of one billion.

    However, He Jia did not intend to have Qin Feng pay for the fees; it was part of the special treatment for him to be there.

    In other words, Qin Feng was a support that was hired from external sources. Regardless of his battle scores in the battlefield, he was already allocated with a sum of secured sry pay-out!

    It was at that moment, a mighty presence closed in and caught Qin Feng¡¯s attention. He turned around and saw a B-tier that was dashing in his direction with strong momentum.

    ¡°Beauty He!¡±

    The person that came spoke in an unusual tone and sounded like an evil viin; he was staring at He Jia¡¯s chest like he could not wait to extend his hand and touch her chest.

    He Jia was immediately alerted and hid her smiley expression, she then said, ¡°Did not expect to see you here Mr. Bai Wei!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at Bai Wei who had a B3-tier aptitude user badge on his chest, and judging from his aura, he was an aptitude user.

    He Jia also had an interesting way of addressing different people, as aptitude users would generally address those from the higher tiers as masters, and it would differ ording to changes in capabilities and statuses, as well as standpoints.

    Being an officer from the Human Alliance in East Sea City, He Jia was also positioned as the general of military logistics.

    He Jia would certainly address officers from the Human Alliance as masters, and only non-official personnel would be addressed as mister or misses.

    ¡°It has only been a while since west met, what¡¯s with that awkwardness? Let¡¯s meet up next time.¡± Bai Wei let out an evilugh.

    He Jia¡¯s expression had turned sour, and as she nced at Qin Feng she noticed that Qin Feng¡¯s expression had not changed at all. She was then struck by a mixed feeling of relief and despair.

    She was very proud of her own looks and body features, however, it seemed like Qin Feng was not interested in her at all.

    Needless to say, He Jia did not keep up with her polite facade anymore. Even if they were closely rted, it was extremely rude to publicly talk to someone in such a way, and Bai Wei was definitely disrespectful toward her.

    Was he not a B-tier aptitude user? Indeed, he had disrespected her as a human being.

    ¡°Excuse me Mr Bai Wei, I am a little busy recently, I need to go on a trip into the ocean!¡±

    ¡°Oh? With the Ocean Phantom? I have been requesting to rent this vessel, but I was rejected by all of your excuses. Yet it is now avable for use again, wouldn¡¯t this be a little inappropriate?!¡±

    ¡°It has already been booked for the usage of outsource external support, please ept our apology on that!¡±

    He Jia responded with full respect, but it was obvious that Bai Wei was still dissatisfied. His actual intention there was not because he had seen He Jia, he was there to im the Ocean Phantom.

    It was a widely known fact that the Abyssal Ocean was extremely dangerous, and deep-sea vessels were the most crucial weapon for protection.

    After all, even the most powerful aptitude user would not be able to resist the surrounding effects from the deep-sea environment.

    ¡°Outsource support?¡± Bai Wei frowned in confusion.

    East Sea City was an extraordinary ce that was simr to Beihua City of the Northern Region, even Tung Yang, the regent of the Eastern region was living in the city.

    Under what sort of circumstances would an outsource support be required, could it be a famous powerful figure, or perhaps an A-tier?

    It was possible for that to happen too.

    ¡°May I ask, which master is being outsourced?¡± Bai Wei was also afraid of offending the wrong person, therefore, he had to ask to make sure.

    Meanwhile, He Jia took a subconscious peek at Qin Feng and felt that it was inappropriate to reveal him to Bai Wei.

    After all, despite being a C-tier, Qin Feng had powerful capabilities that were even recognized by Mn. She had even ordered He Jia to wee him with respect and not mistreat him just because he was a C-tier.

    However, he was still a C-tier aptitude user, and that might not suffice to convince Bai Wei.

    Bai Wei who was an old crafty crook had immediately noticed He Jia¡¯s expression and saw Qin Feng.

    He had a youthful look, with his height at about one hundred and ny, his height and handsome features were exuding a strong aura. Despite his young age, he already had the capability of a C-tier.

    However, all of those features were insignificant and meant nothing to Bai Wei.

    Yet, all of a sudden, Bai Wei frowned and looked at He Jia, he seemed to be annoyed.

    ¡°He Jia, are you nning to have the Ocean Phantom for your own use, and let your favourite pretty boy drive it?¡±

    He Jia immediately denied, ¡°Of course not!¡±

    ¡°Then what is this about? I do not see the outsourced support that you are talking about, why not introduce me to the master, maybe there is even a chance for our coboration!¡±

    Qin Feng was already getting impatient with the ongoing conversation, and as he realized that he was involved in it, he voiced out in a cold voice, ¡°Forget about it, I do not need any partners for coboration, at least not partners like you!¡±

    Bai Wei had been eyeing Qin Feng and he did not like his presence, he was immediately infuriated. ¡°Little brat, mind your words, how could you talk to me in that way?!¡±

    Bai Wei¡¯s conscious energy spiked and exploded, it was like a torrential tsunami that was pressuring toward Qin Feng.

    He was a water ability user, even during the surge of his conscious energy, a dash of blue lights had already started forming vividly.

    Bai Wei was quite powerful in his control of water runes.

    ¡°Mr Bai Wei, what are you doing...¡± He Jia reacted instantly and tried to stop the situation from escting.

    Although Qin Feng had powerful abilities, it was only when he was facing ultra beasts. He Jia was afraid that Qin Feng might lose out in the fight!

    However, would that happen to Qin Feng? Before He Jia could finish her sentence, her eyes were opened wide and she was struck dumb.

    Qin Feng had already exploded with a powerful aura and was overflowing with conscious energy, the energy was extremely hot and totally different from the water ability of his opponent.

    Fire runes drifted around but had yet to initiate their attacks, and they were like melted magma.

    Boom!

    The opposing conscious energy collided, a shapeless wave fluctuated and expanded into the surroundings, and it was extremely shocking to those who were there.

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    Bai Wei¡¯s body trembled as he was surprised by the repelled conscious energy, he was then struck by a sudden sense of dizziness.

    Fortunately, it onlysted for a short moment, he regained his consciousness, and the conscious energy from both sides faded out like a reversed tide.

    As both of them had already shed, everyone on the vessels and the docks were alerted. Several people from the crowd who knew that Bai Wei was a B-tier had even slowly moved closer, like they were enjoying a fight scene.

    Bai Wei was bewildered and instantly looked at Qin Feng in confusion, and he asked in a deep voice, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Qin Feng answered cidly, ¡°Weren¡¯t you just informed? I am the outsourced support that you were looking for!¡±

    Bai Wei¡¯s expression immediately sank along with his frustration, and his face seemed to be slightly twisted.

    But the expression took a sudden shift and Bai Wei burst into a greatughter.

    ¡°What happened to East Sea City? Outsourcing a C-tier aptitude user and also equipping him with the Ocean Phantom, what a joke. What about us that have volunteered ourselves to be here, does it mean we are worthless here? Or are you the younger generation of one of the major families?¡±

 Chapter 656 - Instant Purchase

    <h4>Chapter 656: Instant Purchase</h4>

    Although only the powerful ones would earn their respect during the end times, everyone was still seeking for justice in everything.

    Qin Feng was only equipped with a C-tier aptitude user badge, but he was already provided with the Ocean Phantom to ensure his safety in the ocean. It would certainly raise the sense of injustice among the others.

    Also, younger generations that were born into wealthy and resourceful families would definitely draw jealousy and hatred from the others.

    Despite facing a B-tier aptitude user, Qin Feng felt agitated in facing those little tricks, but he did not intend to exin himself.

    ¡°Whether it is a yes or no, how would that rte to you?¡±

    ¡°Why not? This vessel is avable for rent by everyone, why does it have to be you who takes it?! If you are capable, why not just purchase it?¡±

    Bai Wei was obviously trying to give Qin Feng a hard time.

    However, Qin Feng was instantly struck by the idea and answered, ¡°Alright!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, I knew that you could not afford it...wait, what did you just say?¡±

    At that moment, not only Bai Wei, everyone else was also struck dumb and looked at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng turned toward He Jia who had yet to recover from the shock and asked, ¡°This vessel, can I buy it?¡±

    He Jia immediately tried to signal Qin Feng with her eyes as she whispered via her internal strength, ¡°Governor Qin, don¡¯t fall for the provocation, the deep-sea vessel is different from other items, one of it would cost approximately one trillion, even the B-tiers find it difficult to purchase it!¡±

    Although He Jia had mastered her internal strength very well, the others were also proficient in theirs as well. They had sensed the hidden message that He Jia had sent to Qin Feng, without knowing the content of it, they were still able to guess it easily.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was frowning.

    Bai Wei began to mock andugh, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Did you just make a promise you can¡¯t keep, and you can¡¯t afford it?!¡±

    Qin Feng was unbothered by Bai Wei as he answered, ¡°Although I am a little surprised by the price, but for the sake of not having other problems, I¡¯ll purchase it. This deep-sea vessel is way below my requirement, it still requires modifications, and it is not worth the price!¡±

    He Jia¡¯s jaw dropped and she was slightly agitated by the statement.

    Actually, the Ocean Phantom was the most advanced deep-sea vessel avable, and it was a show of appreciation from East Sea city in weing Qin Feng with it. However, it was unexpectedly dismissed by Qin Feng, how disrespectful was that toward East Sea City?

    ¡°Governor Qin, are you kidding?! This vessel has yet to meet your requirement?¡±

    At that moment, He Jia was no longer using her internal strength to convey herself.

    Obviously, Qin Feng did not care about being overheard by the others.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°How should I proceed with the purchase? Let¡¯s move on with it!¡±

    He Jia was caught in between anger andughter, she exined, ¡°Governor Qin, if that is what you want, you may transfer the funds to me, and I will convey it to the higher management!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Without any hesitation, Qin Feng immediately transferred one trillion over to He Jia.

    For Qin Feng, that amount of money actually meant nothing to him.

    The amount of Qin Feng¡¯s wealth and assets had most probably surpassed Shang Han¡¯s by leaps and bounds.

    Meanwhile, when He Jia received the notification of funds received in her ount, she was rendered speechless and words could not describe the level of shock she was in.

    ¡°Governor Qin, are you serious?¡±

    ¡°Why not?¡± Qin Feng nced at He Jia as he took out hismunicator and reached out to the Fengli Organization.

    However, to Bai Wei, the interaction between the both of them was only seen as an act, and he even put on a mocking face!

    ¡°Are the both of you singing a duet? Would it be that easy to transfer a trillion? He Jia, are you really trying to sell the Ocean Phantom, just because of this little pretty boy?¡± Bai Wei warned.

    The only reason for Bai Wei to unravel himself in the scene was actually straightforward, he was only aiming for the permission to use the Ocean Phantom, and everything else was pretentious.

    He Jia did wish to continue the conversation with Bai Wei, and she merely answered, ¡°If you have any doubts, rify with the regent, Governor Qin has already transferred a trillion to me!¡±

    Then, He Jia looked at Qin Feng in confusion. She was lost. What sort of power did the young aptitude user have? What amount of wealth and assets did he have to allow him to just simply spend a trillion in such a luxurious way, just to buy a deep-sea vessel for modifications?

    ¡°Governor Qin, how would you like to modify the Ocean Phantom, do you need me to source for technicians?¡± He Jian asked.

    ¡°That would not be necessary, my people will be here soon!¡±

    ¡°Ah??¡± He Jia was puzzled by the statement, but soon, everyone felt the slight unusual change in the surroundings.

    An array of silver lights appeared and struck across the sky!

    The lights were very familiar looking, and those were actually spatial runes.

    Everyone was shocked, what was even more surprising was that they did not receive any danger alert from theirmunicators. Meanwhile the silver runes had activated a void opening, surprisingly, it was not a rift, but a spatial passage.

    Then, the passage expanded into a giant tunnel, followed by the appearance of a flying elliptical machine.

    Floating Aircraft!

    It had a silver-colored body revealed by the smooth outline that flowed through the gigantic body structure. As the machine gradually descended from the sky, everyone felt like they were being oppressed by a mighty presence from above.

    Finally, the aircraft had appeared from the void, followed by the closure of the spatial passage, while an eye-catchingbel was vividly disyed on it.

    ¡°Feng Li!¡±

    It was the Fengli Dweller!

    Beep beep beep!

    Qin Feng was alerted by hismunicator, and as he got connected, Guo Guan appeared in it.

    ¡°Boss, I have brought along more than a hundred technicians with me, not sure if that is enough!¡±

    ¡°Alright,e down and begin with the modification process! This is the one!¡±

    ¡°Alright,ing down right now!¡±

    Soon, the aircraft opened a passage to allow the exit of a group of people. They were aptitude users and ordinary humans, but they were all top-tier technicians.

    Then, they entered into the Ocean Phantom to begin with their inspection.

    At that moment, everyone was intrigued and focused on the scene. Regardless of whether Qin Feng had really made the purchase, or it was just merely a hoax, they were all interested to find out whether Qin Feng was able to modify the Ocean Phantom.

    Meanwhile, some of them recognized the aircraft.

    ¡°That seems to be the aircraft from the Fengli Organization!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, apparently only aircrafts from the Fengli Organization are able to perform long distance spatial passage jumps while extending it to arge perimeter!¡±

    ¡°How could it be so powerful? How much does the aircraft cost?¡±

    ¡°Not sure, perhaps it is only for their internal use, it has a lot of undisclosed technologies!¡±

    ¡°How much does this aircraft cost, I will definitely purchase it!¡±

    Surprisingly, those that were just there to enjoy the bustling scene had approached Qin Feng to inquire about the price of the aircraft.

    ¡°Interested in buying such an aircraft? For the model that has the spatial passage jumping feature equipped, it would be priced around a trillion. Also, the weaponries and defence systems that we provide are much better than the Ocean Phantom! Of course, it is not a deep-sea vessel!¡±

    Qin Feng took the opportunity to advertise for himself, and in actuality, he had already marked up the selling price.

    Older aircraft models would only be worth a hundred billion each, as for those equipped with spatial passage jumping features, it would not cost more than five hundred billion.

    However, responses from the others showed that it was not overpriced, and all of them were even interested in purchasing the deep-sea vessel models.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯s technician had alreadypleted the initial inspection.

    ¡°President, the inspection has beenpleted,pared to ours, materials coated on the outeryer of this vessel are extremely outdated, we rmend making a recement!¡±

    ¡°Rmendation to rece the energy protection systems!¡±

    ¡°Rmendation to rece the kic system!¡±

    ¡°Rmendation to rece the weaponry system as it is too outdated, parts of it could be reced!¡±

 Chapter 657 - Remodeling

    <h4>Chapter 657: Remodeling</h4>

    Everyone seemed to dislike this deep-sea vessel.

    Of course, they had not started any research on handling the deep-sea vessel¡¯s controls yet. That meant that they would need to research more technologies to handle that.

    Still, to aplish that, all they needed was to get in touch with some people who had the technical know-hows in all these.

    He Jia was speechless when she saw this.

    ¡°Is it really that bad though? This is one of the best deep-sea vessels that we have in East Sea City!¡±

    Guo Guan rolled his eyes at He Jia before saying to Qin Feng, ¡°Sir, let¡¯s just build our own deep-sea vessel. It will only take us 1 week to build one.¡±

    ¡°If we were to remodel this one... how long would it take?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Three hours.¡±

    ¡°I will only be staying here for half a month. We don¡¯t need to build a new one from scratch. We don¡¯t really have a lot of use for these vessels anyway. Let¡¯s remodel this one. When we have no need for itter, we can always sell it. I am sure there are going to be buyers that would want it.¡±

    ¡°Okay. Let¡¯s do it!¡±

    Without hesitation, Guo Guan brought his men down and started working.

    Meanwhile, He Jia was still stunned by their reaction. She was even more surprised when she heard that they were going to remodel the deep-sea vessel.

    ¡°Are... are you sure you can remodel it?¡±

    Qin Feng said, ¡°We are from Fengli. We are pros when ites to handling machinery. So, you best not underestimate our abilities!¡±

    After getting a lot of information from the Perished Lands, Qin Feng had been doing a lot of intel exchange with the Dragon Capital. As a result, they were able to acquire a lot of technology in that short amount of time¡ªin fact, due to this, theirpany had experienced a fifty-year technological leap in mere months.

    Fifty years¡¯ worth of technology meant a lot in this apocalyptic world. They now had a deeper understanding of the utilities of various materialspared to the otherpanies.

    Even though she felt very unconvinced that they could do it, He Jia decided to keep quiet. She wanted to see just what kind of magic Qin Feng could pull out from his hat.

    After all, she was not well-versed in machinery. As such, there was not much she could say about this.

    In that three hours, He Jia was not able to see just how much they changed from inside the vessel. However, she was able to see what was going on on the outside¡ªthey had taken down all the heavy metallic shells and reced them with silver-looking materials. Metal-type aptitude users had even enchanted some levels of runes on it and changed its exterior, making it look quite different from before.

    When they were done, the whole deep-sea vessel hadpletely changed into the shape of a big, silver fish with the name ¡°Deep-sea Feng Li¡± painted on it, covering the name ¡°Ocean Phantom¡±.

    After seeing this, He Jia was even more upset than before!

    Although she knew that it was quite normal for buyers to change the name of the vessels, the Ocean Phantom was still well-known as the deep-sea vessel that had garnered a lot of respect and fame in East Sea City. Now, in mere hours, they had wiped its name clean!

    He Jia could not bear to see this.

    Meanwhile, the onlookers were frowning and discussing this.

    ¡°Look! The exterior is so shiny! What are they nning? Getting discovered by the enemies?¡±

    ¡°After remodeling it this way, this deep-sea vessel would be a target in the ocean!¡±

    ¡°The Ocean Phantom had dark runes on its metallic shells. Now, I don¡¯t know what kind of metal this is. Never seen it before!¡±

    ¡°What a joke!¡±

    They started to question the vessel¡¯s new design loudly.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, did not mind what they were saying at all.

    He had faith in his own organization¡¯s technology.

    Thus, the three hours had passed and the Ocean Phantom had now be the new Deep-sea Feng Li.

    After giving it a quick scan with his conscious energy, Qin Feng found the new deep-sea vessel to be much easier on the eyes now. He pondered for a moment before concluding that they would need at least ten people to pilot this vessel.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°We¡¯re hiring crew mates right now. If you¡¯re a C-tier gunner, pleasee forward! We need ten of you!¡±

    The Abyssal Ocean was not like somewhere else. It was dangerous and the trip was going to be a long one. And the only ones who could do battle on the ocean were the gunners and aptitude users.

    Jin Hao, who had worked together with Qin Feng back then, too came from East Sea City.

    You would find no ancient warrior in this city.

    Different cities tended to breed different sets of ability users.

    After hearing that he was recruiting, the onlookers that were watching cheerfully were now as quiet as mice.

    A minuteter, a C-tier gunner stepped out of the crowd. ¡°Is this your ship, Captain? Are you the captain though, by the way? I mean, are there no B-tiers with you?¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°No B-tiers.¡±

    He did not care to exin that he was stronger than hundreds of B-tiers.

    As expected, after hearing his answer, the gunner frowned and left.

    It was apparent that this man did not dare to risk his life for a C-tier stranger.

    Qin Feng opened his mouth again, ¡°The fee will be 500 million a day!¡±

    This fee was ten times the usual rate.

    In the Dusan Basin, the rate that Qin Feng gave Yuan Xiaoguang was around 5 million¡ªthe same price as a beast general crystal core. This was the rate for an ordinary C-tier.

    If Qin Feng said he was willing to pay 100 million, there might still not be many who would join him. However, if he was paying ten times the rate of hiring, surely many would find this offer lucrative.

    And sure enough, many people began to take interest.

    Of course, Qin Feng was no idiot. He was not someone who was willing to swallow a massive loss on his part. However, if he could prove that his deep-sea vessel was an exceptional one by having someone navigate it, he could always hire another roster of crewter at a lower rate. And by then, due to the newly acquired reputation of Deep-sea Feng Li, many would kill to join him.

    At the same time, Bai Wei had an idea. He looked at one of the gunners behind him and said, ¡°Hey, fatty! You go! Join his crew and see how good his vessel is!¡±

    The fat gunner¡¯s face turned pale after hearing this. Still, he had no choice but to agree.

    Meanwhile, the other onlookers started to tease Qin Feng after seeing that no one was going to join him, ¡°Hahaha! Mr Qin! Look at you! No one is joining! How about this? I¡¯ll lend you some of my men. This will help you with your predicament, right?¡±

    ¡°Yea! And of course, you still need to pay us!¡±

    ¡°President Qin, if your vessel is that great, you can just build your stuff here and then rent it out. You¡¯ll earn a lot of money by doing this, you know. You see. There are so many boats offered by the Public Capital Corporation right there!¡±

    The Public Capital Corporation was a corporation that handledmerce logistics. The hover tanks that they rented out were of the lowest quality in the market.

    Despite that, they would one day expand and be bigger. Their huge earners would be the East Sea City¡¯s deep-sea vessels that they would establish in the future.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t mind lending me your men, it would definitely solve my predicament at hand. Thank you. I appreciate it.¡±

    After borrowing a few men from some B-tiers, including from Bai Wei, Qin Feng was able to gather ten men in his crew.

    ¡°Sir, would you want me to follow you?¡± Guo Guan asked.

    Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°The ocean is a perilous ce. Let¡¯s wait until you¡¯ve ascended to C-tier.¡±

    Guo Guan shook his head after hearing this. However, he had to concede and stay behind.

    He was now middle-aged.

    Despite the resources Qin Feng had delegated to him, Guo Guan knew it would take at least a year to ascend to C-tier.

    And by then... would Qin Feng still need a C-tier as his underling?

    Guo Guan felt that it was so hard to keep up with this dear president of his.

    Thankfully, he was a good technician.

    ¡°Then, are we going to establish a business to build deep-sea vessels?¡±

    Qin Feng said, ¡°Oh, that? Contact Xue Xingfu. If he deems that this business is profitable, you can start working on it.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±

 Chapter 658 - Technological Advantage

    <h4>Chapter 658: Technological Advantage</h4>

    A momentter, Qin Feng waved his men onto the ship.

    ¡°Governor Qin, I¡¯ll follow you too!¡± He Jia said.

    Of course, He Jia was still upset that they had butchered the Ocean Phantom. However, she was also worried that bad things would befall Qin Feng. She had quite a few spatial waymarks on her. As such, if things were to go south, she could activate them to bring him to safety.

    Qin Feng did not mind bringing one more person.

    ¡°Sure. Come on board.¡±

    Thus, including Qin Feng himself, twelve people went onboard the newly remodeled Deep-sea Feng Li.

    Seeing that the show was over, the onlookers left and went back to their own businesses. There were a few of them, however, who had gone onboard their own deep-sea vessels and started tailing Qin Feng. One of them was Bai Wei.

    Thus, five deep-sea vessels had ventured into the ocean.

    Qin Feng did not mind having others following him. Besides, it would take some time before reaching the Abyssal Ocean. As such, it was quite normal for other vehicles to travel together. In fact, it would be much safer for everyone to travel together.

    Who knew? They might be able to hunt something together.

    Qin Feng did not prepare a map. As such, he asked his crew, ¡°Do you have a map? Would you mind sharing?¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir. I have one right here!¡±

    ¡°I have one too!¡±

    The crew got together and shared their ocean maps.

    However, they were just C-tiers. As such, their maps were not very detailed. After taking a brief look, Qin Feng pointed at a location and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go here!¡±

    A gunner frowned after seeing this. His face had turned as white as a sheet.

    His name was Sun Tianyuan¡ªthe ¡°spy¡± that was sent by Bai Wei. The thing was... Bai Wei might not even know what his name was. He only knew Sun Tianyuan as the ¡°fatty¡±.

    He was quite young¡ªabout twenty two years old. And the fact that he was able to ascend to C-tier when he was twenty-ish years old showed that he was a genius.

    Yet, he did not have a good background. Many people were not able to deduce his actual age from his looks. And they could not determine his abilities too by looking at his face.

    Suddenly, Sun Tianyuan¡¯smunicator started to ring.

    Even though he felt bad for ¡°betraying¡± Qin Feng, he still sent out their destination to Bai Wei.

    After seeing their destination, Bai Wei¡¯s eyes lit up.

    ¡°Hahaha! Qin Feng! What a moron! I¡¯ve been to that ce before! That ce is littered with Devil Sharks! Let¡¯s see how you are going to survive this!¡±

    Sun Tianyuan, of course, knew about this ce. Yet, after giving it some thought, he decided to keep quiet.

    A few momentster, the deep-sea vessels had finally reached the deep oceans.

    This was not the Abyssal Ocean yet. However, due to it being spring, countless ultra beasts had been flocking together at the ocean, trying to hunt for food.

    Even though deep-sea vessels were terrifying machines, these low-ranked ultra beasts did not seem to care. Instead, they thought that the vessels were food! And thus, they rushed forward, attempting to devour them!

    Beep!

    Beep!

    Beep!

    The scanner kept beeping as seconds went by. However, the rm was not sounded. These ultra beasts were weaklings; so, the deep-sea vessels could handle them easily.

    However, it was quite unnerving seeing that many dots on the scanner.

    Behind Qin Feng¡¯s deep-sea vessel, there were about four to five vessels tailing him slowly. It felt as though they wanted to watch Qin Feng put on a good show.

    Qin Feng smirked, ¡°Connect the weaponry with your conscious energy. Prepare to fire!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±

    After responding, the crew connected their consciousness with the vessel itself.

    In an instant, they were able to see every single secret behind Deep-sea Feng Li. They were dazed from the confusion and awe that they felt after witnessing them.

    They had never seen these machineries before. They did not know how to use them.

    Qin Feng knew this. As such, he had connected to the machinery with them and showed them how to use them.

    In just a string of conscious energy, the vessel extended two cannons off of its shell and started to charge up energy.

    A few secondster, the yellowish energy started to turn purple in color.

    Then, Qin Feng pulled the trigger.

    Despite controlling the machineries with conscious energy, the gunners could hear a loud zapping in their ears.

    Then, the silver Deep-sea Feng Li shot out countless rays off to the ocean, lighting up the seabed. Not only that, they were underwater and water was a great conductor. Thus, in an instant, the vessel¡¯s cannons were able to wipe out the ultra beasts¡¯ horde in a blink.

    Yes. The entire horde was killed!

    Every single ultra beast that surrounded Deep-sea Feng Li was now dead.

    Every single life sign that was detected on the scanner was now gone.

    After killing the ultra beasts, Deep-sea Feng Li slowly moved forward, pushing the corpses away along the way.

    The deep-sea vessels behind them were astonished after witnessing this. They could notprehend what they had witnessed. All they saw was a sh of white ring out and all the ultra beasts were dead.

    ¡°Wha... What happened?¡±

    ¡°That was the Ocean Phantom¡¯s attack?¡±

    ¡°What weapon was it? I didn¡¯t see it!¡±

    ¡°This Qin Feng... could he be using his best weapon to save face?¡±

    ¡°Follow him! Quick! We need a clearer view!¡±

    They excitedly tailed Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, He Jia¡¯s jaw was on the ground after witnessing what happened in Deep-sea Feng Li.

    She did not connect to the vessel like the gunners. As such, all she could do was look at the monitor in the vessel. This meant that she had very limited view on what was going on outside. The most that she could see was about a few dozen meters.

    Yet, this was already enough.

    All the low-ranked ultra beasts were killed after a brief sh of light being shot out of the vessel. It was unbelievable!

    A momentter, He Jia frowned. ¡°Governor Qin, why did you waste all your energy on these low fries? The beasts in the Abyssal Ocean are much more powerful than these ones. You should lure them to the surface, like what deep-sea vessels are meant to do, and then kill them. If you use up all your energy here, we will not be able to handle the stronger ones in the Abyssal Oceanter.¡±

    Qin Feng did not say anything while the gunners instinctively looked at the vessel¡¯s energy gauge.

    ¡°What? How can this be?¡±

    ¡°The attack only used 1 out of 10000 of the energy reserve?¡±

    ¡°Perhaps they have improved the energy tank? So now, it can handle a huge energy output?¡±

    ¡°No. The energy consumption was just around 100 power credits of energy...¡±

    The way they measured power consumption was by the currency.

    And the attack earlier would usually cost more than 1 million power credits!

    And if they were to collect all the ultra beast corpses here, they could very well earn more than 1 million power credits!

    There were so many F-tiers and E-tiers, these corpses each would sell for tens of thousands of credits at least!

    And the attack only cost Qin Feng 100 power credits!

    He was able to earn a whole lot just by pulling a trigger in his vessel.

 Chapter 659 - Hunting in the Deep Ocean

    <h4>Chapter 659: Hunting in the Deep Ocean</h4>

    Of course, Qin Feng did not want to waste time to retrieve these corpses. It was just throwing away 100 power credits. It was no biggie.

    ¡°Full speed ahead!¡±

    Qin Feng did not bother to answer He Jia¡ªbecause she already got her answer after seeing that Deep-sea Feng Li was able to activate its elerator with no problems. In under a minute, the vessel had formed ayer of bubble around it before speeding forward.

    Ssh~!!

    After a few rounds of attacks, Deep-sea Feng Li was able to breach through several areas, killing waves after waves of ultra beasts. Everywhere it went, the ultra beast hordes had all been cleaned up to lesser numbers.

    The other deep-sea vessels, on the other hand, had activated their cloaking device to avoid the fishes and ultra beasts on their way to the Abyssal Ocean.

    ¡°Our vessel has a different kind of coating. So, what do we do now? Do we still kill our way into the Abyssal Ocean like earlier?¡±

    ¡°If we do that, it¡¯s going to be too wasteful!¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡±

    The gunners knew that Deep-sea Feng Li was different¡ªits power was on a whole different levelpared to others. However, killing everything that came their way just to reach their destination would be a lot of work.

    Suddenly, the silver coating changed its color into deep blue¡ªthe same color as the deep blue ocean.

    It felt as though the vessel had merged together with the ocean itself!

    ¡°What? What¡¯s this?¡±

    ¡°Look! The ultra beasts don¡¯t seem to notice us at all!¡±

    ¡°How could this be? Sir, I don¡¯t understand...¡±

    The gunners were dumbfounded at their situation at hand.

    Qin Feng felt that he owed them an exnation. ¡°This is a water-type coating. It has water-type runes fused in it and disguised as the ocean water. Not only that, it would send some forceful tides across the seabed, influencing the ultra beasts to stay clear of our path.¡±

    This was just the natural technological evolution that Qin Feng remembered from the time before he was reborn. In theter days when he was an A-tier back then, most deep-sea vessels had already forgone dark-type coating and had adapted to using water-type coating.

    Doing this not only made it easier for the vessels to travel under the sea but also increased their travelling speed.

    After giving them the exnation, Qin Feng raised the speed again.

    Due to every single vessel in the ocean here that was from the Human Alliance and also how dangerous the ce was, everyone had the best scanner installed on their vessels¡ªso that they could locate and rescue their allies when they were in danger. Still, despite how advanced their scanners were, the furthest that they could scan was just around twenty km away.

    Thus, when Qin Feng raised his speed, the other vessels behind too were able to detect it. And to their surprise, Deep-sea Feng Li was moving at an insane speed!

    ¡°Is Qin Feng trying to show off his speed?¡±

    ¡°Heh, maybe. Maybe he¡¯s just pushing his engine¡¯s limit. This would eat up a lot of energy from his tank!¡±

    ¡°Well, if he wants a race, it¡¯s fine by me!¡±

    The B-tiers too increased their vessels¡¯ speed.

    Yet, their vessels¡¯ speed was no match to Deep-sea Feng Li. The thing was too fast! No matter how much they elerated, Deep-sea Feng Li was still always moving in front. A momentter, it had zoomed twenty km away from them, resulting in them losing sight of it!

    These people were speechless when they saw this. Their machines were not able to handle this speed for a long time and were ringing warnings for energy conservation. Thus, they all slowed down.

    After all, moving at this speed was usually done when they were trying to escape from powerful ultra beasts. Not only that, if they kept on going at this speed, it would cost them their whole wallet when they got back.

    There was only one man who knew where Qin Feng was heading to¡ªBai Wei.

    ¡°Sure, the Ocean Phantom is powerful... but it isn¡¯t this powerful. Has this thing really been remodeled by him?¡± Bai Wei¡¯s eyes lit up as he urged his men to keep up the pace.

    ¡°Remember to stay cloaked! I don¡¯t want them to know that we¡¯re following them!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±

    It was quite normal for a vessel to remain cloaked even when there were other humans around because there were people other than the ones from the Human Alliance at sea too. Travelling openly without any stealth would expose them to potential predators from the Dark Coalition. And when they were detected by these human filths, there was very little chance of surviving.

    To die in the depths of the ocean was one of the worse because it was close to impossible for anyone to be able to locate your bodies in the sea.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Deep-sea Feng Li spent three hours to finally arrive at the Abyssal Ocean.

    The ce was pitch ck. They could see nothing but a huge veil of nothingness.

    Yet, this was enough to make everyone in the vessel feeling unnerved.

    They could not know just how huge the ultra beast that was going to show up was. They could not know where they would attack from.

    There was just too much uncertainty.

    Some of the D-tier ultra beasts here seemed to emit a presence that was much stronger than the ones onnd.

    Sun Tianyuan finally could not hold it in anymore.

    He knew where he was going. He knew how dangerous it was. If he did not do anything, it would not just be Qin Feng that died... he could die too!

    Thus, Sun Tianyuan asked in a shaky voice, ¡°Boss... I¡¯ve been to this area before. This... this ce... it has some really fearsome sea beasts. Perhaps we should head to some other ce... somewhere much safer than this?¡±

    Qin Feng took a nce at the man and saw that he was not lying.

    The guy was scared stiff.

    Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was very keen. As such, he knew that Sun Tianyuan was Bai Wei¡¯s underling. He did not mind himing along because he believed Sun Tianyuan would not dare to do anything to sabotage this trip.

    Still, he did not expect him to be such a coward.

    ¡°What kind of sea beasts are they?¡±

    ¡°They¡¯re... De... Devil Sharks!¡±

    Everyone in the vessel cried out in surprise!

    The Devil Sharks were C8-tier! Each one of these was beast general ss.

    Even the B-tiers dared not to touch these things. The reason being that these sharks tended to hunt together in a pack. When they detect blood, they would go into a berserk, escting their attacks!

    One mere deep-sea vessel was not enough to handle a whole pack of Devil Sharks.

    Yet, this seemed to have piqued Qin Feng¡¯s interest. ¡°Devil Sharks, you say? Oh, this is great. We could harvest their beast general crystal cores and earn big money from this!¡±

    The creatures in the Abyssal Ocean were all enormous. Their flesh and blood were worth a lot of money; but in order to take these back to port, one would need equipment that had pocket dimensions.

    Qin Feng did not bring Bai Li with him this time but he did bring some dimensional rune equipment. Still, he was worried that this was not enough to bring all the loot back!

    However, if it was Devil Sharks¡¯ cores... these would make it easier for him.

    After seeing that Qin Feng seemed to be underestimating the sharks, the gunners started to get worried.

    It was then...

    Beep Beep Beep!!

    The scanner started to beep out loud. It was an rm for detecting strong presence!

    The gunners quickly focused all their conscious energy to scan the area.

    He Jia was terrified to say the least as she stared at the monitor.

    And there it was. They saw it! An enormous silhouette shed before their eyes!

    ¡°It¡¯s them!¡±

    ¡°The Devil Sharks!¡±

    ¡°They¡¯re here! They¡¯re really here!¡±

    ¡°What should we do?!¡±

    They could see just how enormous the Devil Shark was just by looking at the huge ck dot on the monitor.

    This thing was eight meters in length.

    Although Deep-sea Feng Li was two hundred meters long and much bigger than the shark, they knew they were not facing just one of these things. There were a dozen more behind this one shark!

    This felt as though a little, juicymb had fallen into a wolves¡¯ den!

    Yet, Qin Feng was calm.

    ¡°What should we do? We attack it, of course!¡±

    In a pinch of conscious energy, Qin Feng had pulled the trigger!

 Chapter 660 - A Face Slap for Bai Wei!

    <h4>Chapter 660: A Face p for Bai Wei!</h4>

    Pzzt!

    A huge energy raynded on the Devil Shark, opening up a one-meter wide hole on its head!

    Even though the Devil Shark was strong, there was no way it could withstand a direct headshot!

    Every single gunner in the vessel was surprised by what they saw.

    ¡°What? How?!¡± He Jia¡¯s jaw was literally dropping on the floor.

    Qin Feng did not need to even head out to fight them. Just one cannon fire was enough to take out a Devil Shark?

    ¡°Well? What are we waiting for, gentlemen? Let the party begin!¡±

    ¡°Huh? Oh, right. Yes, Sir!¡±

    ¡°Aye aye, Sir! Charging up the cannons!¡±

    It did not take long for these gunners to pick themselves up and started wielding the vessel¡¯s weaponry. They were as excited as children getting new toys on Christmas.

    As for the terrifying, fearsome monstrosity that was terrorizing them earlier? They had now turned into live targets for these gunners.

    It was a massacre!

    The technology that Qin Feng had allowed him to wipe clean every ultra beast that dared to stand in front of him onnd. But he felt that using his weapons onnd was a whole lot of waste¡ªbecause he could just go down and kill them himself.

    Yet, this time he was in the ocean. Killing these sea beasts with his guns was faster than going out scuffling with them underwater.

    As these Devil Sharks were in one by one, Qin Feng activated his Absorption Ability and started to devour their energy. As minutes went by, his power began growing at an incredible rate.

    These sea beasts were powerful indeed! Qin Feng was very satisfied with these meals.

    Meanwhile, the surrounding waters had all been dyed red from the Devil Sharks¡¯ blood, resulting in more Devil Sharks being tempted toe closer. This meant that Deep-sea Feng Li had more targets to shoot at.

    And still, the vessel¡¯s energy tank was still very full and its attacks were still as powerful as ever.

    Booom!!

    Two Devil Sharks rammed on Deep-sea Feng Li.

    Feeling the huge tremor from the attack, the gunners¡¯ faces turned pale.

    Raaaw!!

    A Devil Shark opened its wide jaw, revealing its sharp teeth before munching on the vessel.

    The gunners¡¯ faces turned even paler than before.

    These Devil Sharks were infamous for their destructiveness. They were rumored to be even more powerful than the B-tier ultra beasts onnd.

    Even if this was the fabled Ocean Phantom, there was no way it could withstand these monsters¡¯ fangs!

    Voom!!

    Suddenly, ayer of golden barrier enveloped Deep-sea Feng Li. As a result, the shark¡¯s teeth were not able to sink through the vessel¡¯s metallic shell.

    ¡°Did... did the vessel just block its bite?¡±

    The gunners were overjoyed after realizing this.

    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t stop. Keep on attacking!¡±

    Qin Feng ordered as he pulled another trigger, sending a huge electric wave across the waters.

    In an instant, the massive Devil Shark flipped over to reveal its stomach¡ªthe thing was dead in under a second!

    ¡°Fire!¡±

    ¡°Quick! Kill all these mother-effers!¡±

    ¡°Kill! Kill! Kill! I¡¯ll kill them all!!!!¡±

    The gunners¡¯ blood was boiled in excitement as they kept on shooting and shooting. For an entire thirty minutes, the seabed was lit up with bright energy rays and dyedpletely red by the sharks¡¯ blood.

    Countless Devil Sharks¡¯ corpses started to float around as Deep-sea Feng Li was constantly hooking them and hurling them to the surface of the ocean.

    Perhaps due to the intense scent of death that was brought by the Devil Sharks¡¯ blood, the other sea beasts seemed to not dare toe closer. This meant that Qin Feng and his crew were able to head to the surface without issue.

    Countless corpses of the Devil Sharks floated on the sea, forming a small ind.

    Creak!

    As soon as the shuttle door was opened, everyone rushed out of the vessel to view the fruit of theirbor earlier under the water.

    They were overjoyed and excited.

    They had never thought that they could haul so much loot in just one battle.

    ¡°Quick. We need to dissect them now.¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Ah, yes. Come on,ds! Get to work!¡±

    ¡°Aye aye, Boss!¡±

    Ten gunners quickly rushed to the Devil Sharks¡¯ corpses and started to dissect them, keeping only the valuable parts and materials from the beasts¡ªespecially the fangs and crystal cores.

    As they were harvesting the materials, a deep-sea vessel closed in on their location from underneath¡ªit was Bai Wei¡¯s vessel.

    ¡°Boss! They¡¯re on the surface!¡±

    Of course, they could not rise to the surface. Or else, they would be seen!

    ¡°What are they doing? Why are they on the surface?¡±

    ¡°Ah! Boss! It¡¯s... It¡¯s... Devil Sharks!¡±

    One of the crew members of the vessel cried out in surprise.

    Bai Wei¡¯s face turned grim immediately. There was no way his vessel could handle the Devil Sharks now.

    However, when he checked the monitor, there were no sign of Devil Sharks at all. There was no rm from the scanner too.

    ¡°What the hell? There are no Devil Sharks!¡±

    ¡°No, Boss. I mean. Up there! Next to Deep-sea Feng Li! The Devil Sharks are all dead!¡±

    A gunner had released a drone to the surface to livestream whatever that Qin Feng and his crew were doing. He was shocked when he saw it from the drone¡¯s camera.

    After realizing that the others could not see what he saw, he quickly linked the drone to the main monitor of the vessel.

    Then, Bai Wei finally saw it.

    He wanted to w out his eyeballs and clean them and then looked at the screen again! There was no way this was true! He could not believe his eyes!

    However, all the Devil Sharks¡¯ corpses had already announced quite clearly what happened earlier.

    ¡°How... How in the hell...?!¡±

    Bai Wei wanted to watch Qin Feng make a fool out of himself. As such, he could not wait for him to reach the Devil Sharks¡¯ territory.

    He wanted to watch Qin Feng get chomped to pieces by these ferocious sharks.

    Yet, this was the result. The result that he least expected!

    In an instant, he felt that his face was turning as red as a tomato.

    What a massive face p!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was already done with their material harvesting.

    There were a total of twenty seven Devil Sharks.

    They were all on the higher spectrum of C-tiers. As such, their crystal cores and materials would them at least 150 million credits!

    Qin Feng distributed the loot fairly to everyone¡ªeach one of the gunners got two materials.

    And then, they threw the rest of the menial flesh materials into the vessel¡¯s energy tank, turning them all into the machine¡¯s energy.

    The gunners did not expect to earn so much in their first battle. They thought that Qin Feng would lose everything in this trip; yet, it all turned out differently.

    It seemed that they were instead the ignorant rednecks.

    ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s resume our hunt!¡±

    ¡°Aye aye, Captain!¡±

    Everyone responded to Qin Feng¡¯s order with respect.

    To them, his title of ¡°captain¡± was well-earned.

    After entering the vessel, Qin Feng took a nce in a certain direction and looked straight at the drone!

    ¡°Heh, what a fun bunch!¡± Qin Feng did not bother to entertain these clowns. They were the ones who wanted to follow him. If they were to suffer some cardiac shock from seeing what he could do, there was no way he was going to pay for their medical bills.

    Thus, the Deep-sea Feng Li descended into the ocean again.

    In the depths of the sea, these sea beasts were all powerful C-tier monstrosities. Each one of them could kill C-tier aptitude users with ease.

    Besides, someone needed to hunt them and clean up the ocean. If they did not do that, there would be waves after waves of sea beasts appearing and multiplying in the ocean. And eventually, they would be swept to the shore, terrorizing the civilians who live at the port.

    Qin Feng had seen something simr in Sea City before.

    And this phenomenon was even more dire at the Abyssal Ocean.

 Chapter 661 - Pirates

    <h4>Chapter 661: Pirates</h4>

    As precaution, the Human Alliance would send people here to clean things up every year. People who died or disappeared in the process were beyond count.

    The Abyssal Ocean was a ce just like its name suggested. What Qin Feng saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

    Qin Feng led his men back into the vessel. They nned to submerge once again.

    On the other side, men on Bai Wei¡¯s vessel were stunned. One of his subordinates asked carefully, ¡°Sir, are we still tailing them?¡±

    As he watched Qin Feng¡¯s submarine disappear from the sea surface, he shook his head. Bai Wei did not dare to explore an area full of Devil Sharks.

    ¡°Why should we? What benefit would I get?¡±

    There was indeed nothing left for him to pluck. As such, Bai Wei decided to turn back. He wondered whether Qin Feng would start manufacturing vessels in the East Sea. If so, he was willing to rent one even if it was expensive. The firepower of the vessel was something to behold.

    Qin Feng¡¯s vessel continued to wander in the unknown sea. A deep-sea vessel could stay under the sea for half-a-month without the need to replenish. However, Qin Feng did not n to stay here all day.

    Besides, the crew on board was hired at a hefty cost. He would need to rece them once they returned to the shore. Qin Feng did not mind spending the money but he was unwilling to help feed other people¡¯s men.

    Deep-sea Feng Li rampaged through the rough Abyssal Ocean. The C-tier gunners onboard were spirited and hunted eagerly.

    In less than half a day, Qin Feng had earned enough to cover the crew¡¯s sry and obtained ample materials.

    The vessel resurfaced again with the loots.

    Before they werepletely out on the sea surface, an rm began to ring on the scanner.

    ¡°It¡¯s an SOS signal!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s an unknown vessel detected by the sonar!¡±

    ¡°Sir, I suspect it¡¯s the Dark Coalition. What should we do?¡± The C-tier gunners were nervous.

    The vessels of the Dark Coalition were often custom-made and privately owned. As such, their ships were constantly upgraded and perfected. In contrast, deep-sea vessels of other aptitude users were usually rented. As a result, the Dark Coalition¡¯s vessels normally had a huge advantage over theirs.

    Hence, aptitudes users in the ocean often avoided confrontation with members of the Dark Coalition.

    However, right now, they had no other choice but to fight them.

    ¡°Are they pirates? Which faction do they belong to?¡± Qin Feng asked calmly.

    Power factions that were active around this ocean were only that few. Qin Feng could count them out with one hand.

    One of the crew members acted swiftly and dispatched a waterproof drone. It glided through the sea surface and transmitted the live-feed back to the submarine¡¯s disy.

    Qin Feng¡¯s crew immediately recognized the party this submarine belonged to at one nce.

    Sun Tianyuan immediately reported, ¡°Master Qin, it¡¯s the Sea Devil. They belong to a dark organization named none other than the Sea Devil. It was jointly established by three B-tier aptitude users. At least two B-tiers would be on board every time they are out on the sea. Their leaders are B4-tier ice ability user Chen Sha, B3-tier water ability user Wang Yangying, and B1-tier ancient warrior Yang Qian.¡±

    Sun Tianyuan¡¯s face turned extremely pale. He was trembling out of fear. The Sea Devil was one of the most frightening pirate groups in this Abyssal Ocean.

    Three B-tiers on one vessel was astonishing. They might not earn enough by hunting beasts but it was a different story if they were to hunt and rob other users.

    Members of the Dark Coalition were famous for their merciless and cruel nature. There was basically no escape once you bump into them.

    ¡°Governor, let¡¯s retreat now. Perhaps they still haven¡¯t detected us,¡± He Jia said nervously.

    The best way out of this was to stay unnoticed and flee as quickly as possible.

    Qin Feng frowned and said coldly, ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of? There are only two B-tiers. Ascend and st at them!¡±

    ¡°Er...¡±

    ¡°Sir, they will take revenge if we provoke them.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s unwise to do so. Guns are just... guns.¡±

    Guns could st beasts easily but were less effective against humans, especially when the opponents also had gunners onboard. The one who would win the shootout depended greatly on the skill level.

    Besides, no matter how powerful the energy ster was, it was only a weapon. A two-hundred-meter-wide deep-sea vessel was scary, but a B-tier aptitude user who could destroy a city easily was even scarier!

    ¡°Shut up!¡± Qin Feng ordered angrily. He expanded his consciousness and disced the members who were initially controlling the vessel. He took over the control and steered the vessel upward.

    Abruptly, a silver vessel emerged from the sea. The loot being dragged behind its tail was especially ring.

    On the Sea Devil, Yang Qianmanded the vessel to bomb a third-generation vessel¡ªthe Overlord 07. This vessel was rtively cheap and so its defense system was only average. Naturally, it became Yang Qian¡¯s easy target.

    While the prey was struggling to escape, it was to Yang Qian¡¯s surprise that they had called in reinforcement.

    Not only that, but the newly emerged vessel had substantial loot on its tail. They had probably stumbled across their battle by ident.

    ¡°Haha, what a lucky day! My crew, take the other vessel down too!¡± Yang Qinughed joyfully.

    But the next moment, the smile froze on his face. His expression then turned into great shock.

    ¡°F*ck!¡± Yang Qian cursed as he saw a blindingser flying toward them. The energy carried by the st was no joke. Yang Qian could sense that its power was strong enough to threaten their lives.

    Blitz!

    Theser struck the bullseye on the Sea Devil.

    The shield of the vessel was turned on at all times. It suddenly lit up brightly as if it was being recharged.

    But the radiance dimmed rapidly. In less than a minute, the force field protecting the vessel promptly copsed!

    Only scattered light remained around the shield. Theser continued to tear apart the air andnded on the outer shell of the submarine.

    Blitz!

    Immediately, the submarine was perforated by theser. More so, theser did not disappear before it traveled for another twenty meters.

    Boom!

    A giant explosion engulfed everything in front of their eyes.

    There were a lot of delicate instruments inside the vessel. Qin Feng was indeed aiming for the core of the submarine where most of the machinery was jam-packed.

    The explosion was traumatizing. A loud boom shook the sky and the sea. The after impact created sea waves as high as eight to nine meters.

    At the same time, the B-tier user on the pinned down Overlord 07, who was preparing to lunge forward and fight, was rooted on the deck. Behind him, his crew cheered uproariously.

    ¡°Ally!¡±

    ¡°Damn! What was with that st!? Someone is here to save us!¡±

    ¡°It was destroyed. They destroyed the Sea Devil! Woohoo!¡±

    These aptitude users eximed and shouted victoriously.

    But soon, they slowly regained themselves and asked with a shaking voice, ¡°Boss, should we retreat now?¡±

    After the explosion quieted down, an unnerving iceberg appeared out of nowhere. Around it were the wreckages of the Sea Devil.

    The scariest part of all this was the man standing on the tip of the iceberg.

    B4-tier ice ability user¡ªChen Sha.

    Unfortunately, the man on the Overlord 07 was only a B1-tier wind ability user. His name was Yu Yangtao.

    The power gap was obvious.

    ¡°We can¡¯t run. I am not going to leave the other ship behind. They have just saved us!¡±

 Chapter 662 - Where Did He Come From?

    <h4>Chapter 662: Where Did He Come From?</h4>

    As such, Yu Yangtao had little confidence. He was no way near Chen Sha¡¯s prowess.

    That was not all. The scary explosion was neutralized by Chen Sha with his iceberg. Then, he broke apart the iceberg and turned it into a make-shift boat. Another two powerful auras ascended from underwater.

    Both Wang Yangying and Yang Qian were here, too.

    Three B-tiers!

    Cold sweats began to appear on Yu Yangtao¡¯s forehead.

    On the Deep-sea Feng Li, the crew who cheered on earlier had gone silent. Their morales had been overwhelmed by deep fear.

    To them, B-tier auras were terrifying. They seemed to have lost control over their consciousness and body.

    ¡°What are we going to do?¡±

    ¡°Three B-tiers! Can we survive this?¡±

    ¡°Should we attack? The cannons on our vessel might be our only chance!¡±

    The C-tier gunners were scared and panicked. They had lost all theirposure.

    They could only turn to Qin Feng and ced their remaining, timid hope on him entirely.

    To their horror, Qin Feng had disappeared from the control room.

    He Jia was stunned. ¡°Where¡¯s Governor Qin?¡±

    Qin Feng had left without saying a word when they needed him the most.

    One of the crew members was flustered and shouted, ¡°Where is he? Don¡¯t tell me he had run and abandoned us here!¡±

    ¡°Shut up. Look!¡± Sun Tianyuan yelled back. His sight was fixated on the front window of the vessel. A man was standing proudly outside, on top of the submarine surface.

    It was none other than Qin Feng. He had walked out fearlessly.

    The crew members gripped their fists tightly, wondering what Qin Feng would do next.

    ¡°He wants to challenge B-tiers?¡±

    ¡°How? He is merely a C-tier!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s useless. Should we make a run for it?¡±

    Among them, He Jia was the only one who overturned her doubt into unwavering faith.

    ¡°I believe in Governor Qin. He is a man with power beyond our imagination.¡±

    The others could hardly agree with her sentiment. ¡°So what? The opponents are B-tiers!¡±

    ¡°Governor Qin might have hidden his true strength. Still, he is C9-tier at best. That¡¯s not enough to fight three B-tiers at once. Moreover, we are talking about Chen Sha here!¡±

    Chen Sha, a merciless pirate, a devil in this unforgiving ocean.

    Qin Feng was facing an emperor that had survived this ocean.

    The waves roared furiously. The vessel under Qin Feng and the ice under Chen Sha were wobbling.

    Their eyes met and they could feel the killing intent in each other¡¯s sight.

    ¡°I want to meet your master. What are you, a C-tier, doing out here?¡± Chen Sha¡¯s voice was filled with subtle anger.

    The loss of the Sea Devil Vessel was extensive. A deep-sea vessel cost at least a trillion. This was the first time Chen Sha had experienced such a huge defeat in his years of piracy.

    Chen Sha swore he was going to tear the person responsible for the destruction of the Sea Devil apart.

    Qin Feng replied, ¡°I am the captain of this vessel!¡±

    Chen Sha could no longer hold back his fury. ¡°Great! Since when did a mere C-tier be so fearless? But it matters not. I will know who¡¯s behind you once I take your life!¡± He boosted his conscious power. Instantly, snowy runes sprang up and spread rapidly across the sea.

    The runes instantaneously froze the raging sea. The ice stretched violently and reached Deep-sea Feng Li in no time.

    Aptitude users inside the vessel were terrified. They knew this was Chen Sha¡¯s ability barrier. If they did not retreat now, the vessel would be trapped inside the ice floe and their lives would be at Chen Sha¡¯s mercy.

    But since they did not receive any orders from Qin Feng, they neither retreated nor retaliated.

    Qin Feng did not hesitate and raised his equally powerful fire runes.

    Scarlet runes spread around the periphery of the vessel and boiled the seawater. The water eventually turned red and transformed into moltenva.

    Theva collided with the iing ice floe and...

    Boom!

    The two flows of energy crashed and created a deafening explosion.

    A thick fog ascended but was quickly blown away by the strong wind.

    Qin Feng kicked his legs and lunged forward. His momentum was so unbelievably huge that it pushed the vessel a few hundred meters backward.

    ¡°Pull out as far as possible!¡± Qin Feng delivered his order through his consciousness.

    The crew in the vessel was first stunned, then reacted instinctively. They did not expect Qin Feng to effectively resist Chen Sha¡¯s assault. Being freed from the predicament, they acted frantically to steer the vessel away from the scene.

    Chen Sha was even more infuriated seeing that the Deep-sea Feng Li was escaping.

    Qin Feng was somehow looking down on him.

    ¡°You think you can hold me back by yourself?¡± Chen Sha said and once again triggered his conscious power.

    Each ability user had his or her own Diamond Starglobe full of runes on it. These runes would turn into ability when released. Chen Sha¡¯s rune volume was apparently tremendous.

    Also, there was seawater everywhere. The water could be turned into ice anytime and used by Chen Sha. The geographical advantage boosted his ability by at least three more levels.

    From his perspective, he could ughter Qin Feng with ease.

    Instantly, the ice on the frozen sea surface was molded into one after another ice javelin and was shot toward Qin Feng.

    There was visibly no gap between the packed spearheads.

    ¡®Just some ice javelins!¡¯ Qin Feng sneered and triggered his Diamond Starglobe. Enormous fire runes appeared out of thin air.

    Though Qin Feng had zero advantage in this battleground, hepensated it with his seemingly endless fire runes.

    The runes had also turned into one after another fire javelin that was headed right at the iing icy rain.

    The two abilities collided.

    Bam! Boom! Bam! Boom!

    The ice shattered and the fire exploded.

    Chen Sha¡¯s face contorted into a grimace.

    The person in front of him was just a C-tier but time and again, he had sessfully nullified his attacks. This pissed him off.

    ¡°Again! Ice Cyclone!¡±

    Qin Feng did not back down.

    ¡°Fire Dragon!¡±

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    Two giant dragons of opposing elements rammed in midair.

    It once again ended in a draw.

    They fought feverishly on the sea surface and none refused to back down.

    But soon, they realized Qin Feng had not been going at full strength.

    Even under such conditions, his fire runes continued to assault Chen Sha and he gradually gained the upper hand.

    Not only were Chen Sha¡¯srades surprised, but Yu Yangtao, who initially nned to help, realized that there was no room for him to intervene.

    ¡®Jeez!¡¯ Yu Yangtoa gasped and muttered, ¡®Where did this guye from?¡¯

 Chapter 663 - Testing

    <h4>Chapter 663: Testing</h4>

    Others on the floating ice could no longer stand by.

    ¡°Chen Sha, let me help you!¡±

    A wave propelled an ability user forward.

    Yu Yangtao was concerned.

    ¡°Retreat with the vessel,¡± Yu Yangtao ordered and walked toward the exit of the submarine.

    ¡°Don¡¯t go, Boss!¡±

    Yu Yangtao¡¯s crew was different from those temporarily hired by Qin Feng. They had been through life and death with him for a long time. The most experienced one had been on board for ten years.

    They did not want anything to happen to their leader.

    ¡°Consider this as my bad luck. Without that person, we wouldn¡¯t have escaped anyway. I can¡¯t bear to turn my back on our savior like this. This is my fate and I shouldn¡¯t push it onto someone else. Otherwise, I would be tortured by my conscience for the rest of my life.¡±

    The eyes of Yu Yangtao¡¯s underlings became teary. They knew that nothing they said could stop Yu Yangtao now.

    Yu Yangtao walked out of the passage and came out on the sea surface.

    At that time, the two sides were already tangled up in an intense fight. Yu Yangtao bellowed loftily, ¡°Chen Sha, Wang Yangying, let me be your opponent!¡±

    A gale ascended and carried Yu Yangtao into the battlefield.

    Qin Feng frowned when he saw a stranger dash toward them aggressively. However, he did not pay him much attention.

    This was because Yu Yangtao could not have helped him if he came now. There was another B-tier waiting on the floating ice.

    ¡°Wow, we have a brave one here. You should have run while the nut head over there is stalling us. But since you have brought yourself to us, I will dly take your life and your ship.¡± Yang Qian chastised and infused his body with internal power. A burst of qinggong brought him straight to Yu Yangtao.

    Three versus two, the Dark Coalition pirate appeared to have the upper hand.

    The arrival of Yu Yangtao had only prevented the three B-tiers from targeting Qin Feng at once. However, it did not change Qin Feng¡¯s current situation.

    Qin Feng once again evaded the assaults of the two ability users and pulled out a distance.

    ¡®It seems fire ability is really ineffective here.¡¯

    Currently, Qin Feng¡¯s most powerful ability was Fire Wall. But on this ocean, the strength of the Fire Wall had been halved.

    Furthermore, even though Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was quite powerful, it was still only a C7-tier. Such conscious power was no match to his current internal strength and thus it could onlypete evenly with the two B-tier ability users.

    Even so, being able to fight on even ground was enough to frighten his two opponents, Chen Sha and Wang Yangying.

    Though startled, thetter had no choice since they had lost their vessel. Their only way to escape the Abyssal Ocean now was to kill Qin Feng and Yu Yangtao, then im their vessels. Or else, they would not survive more than an hour being exposed in this unforgiving sea.

    Ultimately, it was either their lives or Qin Feng¡¯s life.

    ¡°Water Dragon Style!¡±

    A roaring water dragon emerged from the ocean with four other dragons following closely behind it. Other than water runes, Wang Yangying could utilize seawater to strengthen his skill as well. In this arena, Wang Yangying was perhaps more dangerous than Chen Sha.

    ¡°Penta Dragon Bolt!¡±

    ¡°Roar! ¡±

    Five horrendous dragons surrounded Qin Feng¡¯s space.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see how you can escape now! You... What!?¡± Wang Yangying¡¯s eyes opened wide in disbelief. He only saw a blurred silhouette and Qin Feng had since disappeared from the spot.

    The two had seen and battled enough to exim almost simultaneously, ¡°Dark ability!¡±

    The next moment, even Chen Sha who was using ice ability could feel a chill down his spine. It was a hostile force that tinged his nerve and gave him goosebumps.

    ¡°Dragon p!¡±

    Qin Feng hadunched the attack!

    Chen Sha did not hesitate and sted his ice runes without reservation. All of sudden, he had turned into a giant ice sculpture.

    Boom!

    A loud noise was heard. The sculpture broke apart and dropped into the sea.

    Ssh!

    Giant waves stirred up, resulting from the ssh. Everyone could tell how great the brute force was to smash apart such a giant sculpture.

    In the sky, the dark runes around Qin Feng had not dispersed. What was more daunting was the strength of the p and the enormous internal energy flowing within him.

    ¡°Ancient warrior!¡± Wang Yangying eximed. But then he calmed down quickly and said in disbelief, ¡°That¡¯s odd. He is using dark runes at the same time. What¡¯s wrong with this guy? Is it runic equipment? A god weapon? A rare armor?¡±

    Before Wang Yangying could think it through, Qin Feng did not spare him any more time and dashed at him using extreme speed.

    Earlier, Qin Feng was barely testing whether his fire ability would still be effective here in the middle of the ocean. When he decided to get serious, there was no way these people could stop him.

    He was used to killing B-tiers back in Cinderst City.

    ¡°Argh!¡± Wang Yangying yelled and rallied the seawater to enclose him entirely.

    Qin Feng smirked and rammed straight through it.

    Boom!

    The loud noise was equally deafening as when the seawater was blown up. Qin Feng was like a human missile crashing into the sea. He was determined to im Wang Yangying¡¯s life.

    Tsunami!

    Wang Yangying realized that the seawater was unable to protect him so he decided to take Qin Feng head-on.

    This was when Qin Feng suddenly vanished into thin air, again.

    The dark runes covered his track wlessly. No one knew where he had disappeared to.

    ¡°Sh*t! Yang Qian, save me!¡± Wang Yangying did not think twice and ran toward Yang Qian¡¯s direction.

    Yang Qian was equally shocked. He fended off Yu Yangtao and dashed to Wang Yangying to protect him.

    Qin Feng appeared like a ghost and was immediately targeted by Yang Qian.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    The harpoon in Yang Qian¡¯s hand was aimed at Qin Feng. The gold radiance on the runic weapon coupled with his strong internal force could tear apart even the most ferocious beast.

    This was Yang Qian¡¯s secret ancient art.

    It was toote for Qin Feng to evade now. Nevertheless, he had no intention of avoiding it.

    A weapon appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s hand. It was an ordinary weapon with golden runes on it. Qin Feng used only a small fraction of internal force and it resulted in a force that bent space.

    Bam!

    Their internal forces crashed into each other first.

    The impact was so great that it even twisted the air in the surrounding. The two forces cancelled each other out and brought the two weapons closer and closer to each other.

    nk!

    Qin Feng¡¯s long sword finally met the opponent¡¯s harpoon.

    Crack!

    The harpoon shattered and the sword pierced straight at Yang Qian¡¯s internal force shield.

    Poof!

    The armor that looked imprable on Yang Qian promptly copsed upon contact. Qin Feng¡¯s long sword faced little resistance and stabbed right through Yang Qian¡¯s body.

    It prated urately through his heart.

    The ocean was stained red!

 Chapter 664 - Abyssal Oceanâ€”Glutton Leviathan

    <h4>Chapter 664: Abyssal Ocean¡ªGlutton Leviathan</h4>

    Everyone witnessing the kill was stunned.

    The time seemed to have stopped moving for a few seconds. Then, people standing on the ice broke the silence first.

    ¡°Master Yang!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡±

    None of them wanted to believe what had just happened.

    It was unmistakable that the badge on Qin Feng¡¯s chest read C-tier. His aura was not as overwhelming as a B-tier, too. However, their master Yang had died unexpectedly in his hands.

    Yang Qian¡¯s eyes widened. Blood came rushing out from his mouth. His face was contorted.

    He resented and refused to believe his fate. His soul deserted his body in the end, nheless.

    Yang Qian could not be more dead.

    Poof!

    Qin Feng withdrew the long sword slowly. Blood gushed out from the wounds.

    Without the support, Yang Qian¡¯s body plunged from midair.

    ¡°Save him!¡±

    ¡°Master Yang!¡±

    ¡°He can¡¯t be dead! Master Yang!¡± The pirates were in chaos.

    They did not just lose a co-captain. If Qin Feng could kill Yang Qian so easily, it would be even more effortless for him to kill the rest of them.

    It was hard not to fluster when your life was grasped in other¡¯s hands.

    Qin Feng¡¯s sight was set on Wang Yangying next. He was Qin Feng¡¯s initial target.

    Wang Yangying knew it too. He could feel the chill down his spine. The first idea that crossed his mind was run!

    ¡°Wave Roar!¡±

    Instantly, waves around him pushed rapidly to send him a hundred meters away. He tried to shake off Qin Feng¡¯s pursuit.

    Qin Feng was expressionless but his body reacted reflexively.

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    His powerful internal force propelled Qin Feng on the sea surface. Unbelievably, he moved even faster than the water ability user.

    He caught up to Wang Yangying in the blink of an eye.

    ¡°Die now!¡±

    Qin Feng shed down his long sword.

    ¡°No!¡± Wang Yangying cried out. The water shield around his body was crushed by Qin Feng¡¯s internal force.

    Wang Yangying wanted to evade but Qin Feng was simply too fast. The attack was aimed at Wang Yangying¡¯s neck but hit on thetter¡¯s waist when he jumped.

    Wang Yangying¡¯s internal armor was pretty solid but could not withstand Qin Feng¡¯s otherworldly strength. It cracked and shattered when met by the long sword, and Wang Yangying was cut into half the next instance.

    Without the water ability user¡¯s maniption, the raging sea gradually toned down.

    Qin Feng was only getting started.

    ¡°One more.¡±

    Though he had smashed the iceberg, Qin Feng knew Chen Sha was still alive. He might have plunged into the sea but Chen Sha should still have a lot of strength left.

    Thus, he expanded his consciousness to search for the B-tier pirate.

    This was when he suddenly sensed a fast approaching aura.

    It was perhaps the scariest presence Qin Feng had ever encountered, be it in this life or his past.

    A distraught figure suddenly broke out from the sea surface. It was none other than Chen Sha, who was clearly in distress.

    ¡°Ah!!¡± Chen Sha shouted and could not muster another word. Qin Feng knew something catastrophic was going to happen. There were not many creatures in this world that could make a B-tier this terrified.

    A pair of wings made of ice appeared on Chen Sha¡¯s back. It fanned frantically and flew higher and higher.

    At the same time, everyone could feel that the sky had dimmed substantially. The weather was rather good in this ocean today as they could still see the rare blue sky just a moment ago. In just a matter of seconds, the area was shrouded byplete darkness.

    Qin Feng knew it was the result of umting dark runes.

    Suddenly, the seawater split in the opposite direction. A giant ind emerged gradually from the split.

    The slow-motion was probably an illusion resulting from its gigantic size.

    It was a humongous creature beyond fathom.

    The part that was exposed above water already measured at three hundred meters. If Qin Feng was right, this might be its diameter.

    The diameter of its head.

    The monster opened its maw and seawater began to flow into its giant mouth.

    ¡°Ah!!! Ah!!!¡±

    ¡°Save me!¡±

    ¡°Glutton Leviathan! It¡¯s the Glutton Leviathan!¡±

    Those pirates on the ice floe, who were thinking about saving Yang Qian¡¯s body earlier, wailed amid the chaos.

    It was already toote to escape from the pulling force. The massive maw swallowed them alive.

    ¡°It¡¯s the Glutton Leviathan, run!¡±

    Yu Yangtao¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. He was using all of his energy running in such a dreadful moment. He was a wind ability user and had mastered the art of speed. Yu Yangtao controlled the airflow and sprinted with all his might.

    He covered Qin Feng with his wind runes when he passed by him so that thetter could escape quicker too.

    Qin Feng was baffled, too.

    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Qin Feng sprinted in the air trying to break out from the drawing force.

    Yu Yangtao did not expect Qin Feng to not know about the creature. He used his consciousness to shout back at him, ¡°It is one of the top beasts in this ocean, probably an A-tier beast emperor. It¡¯s a creature that is closed to evolving into a beast deity. The only oue meeting it is death.¡±

    There was no such thing as retaliation. The Glutton Leviathan¡¯s power in this ocean was absolute.

    Its strength wasid bare based on the name given to it by human beings.

    The Glutton Leviathan had its eyes fixed on Chen Sha.

    The monster must have chased Chen Sha up to sea level. Right now, its prey had flown to midair trying to escape the predator.

    He was clearly being delusional if he thought that he could run away.

    The Glutton swallowed the seawater in its maw and raised its head. It then growled ragingly.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    A powerful dark light burst out from its giant maw.

    Qin Feng immediately recognized the attack. It was the Light of Death, a beam with concentrated dark runes. Once hit, a living body would be weakened indefinitely and lose its life force gradually.

    The beam affected not only the general physique but down to every single bone and cell.

    In less than three seconds, Chen Sha who was shrouded by the dark light had lost all ability to run and descended lifelessly from the sky.

    ¡°Awoo!¡±

    The Glutton Leviathan opened its maw and gulped down the infamous pirate. Its giant body had nowpletely floated up to the sea surface.

    Three-hundred-meter wide coupled with more than a thousand-meter-long body length. Its existence surpassed even the craziest imaginations.

    A deep-sea vessel was like a powerless baby in front of this behemoth.

    As it was humongous, Qin Feng could not see the eyes of the beast up close, but he could feel that its consciousness had locked on to him.

    As expected, the creature opened its maw again and approached them.

    It was like a mountain hade crashing down from the sky.

    Whatever kind of runes or internal power was useless at this moment.

    The beast was too big, too fast.

    Awoo!!

    The Glutton Leviathan swallowed Qin Feng and Yu Yangtao in a blitz.

 Chapter 665 - A Passing Mercy

    <h4>Chapter 665: A Passing Mercy</h4>

    Then, seemingly content, the Glutton Leviathan sank into the waters and the surrounding darkness gradually disappeared following the creature¡¯s descent. The two surviving deep-sea vessels were left dumbfounded.

    That was because they had just lost their leader.

    Even He Jia was dumbfounded!

    ¡°What now? Governor Qin, Governor Qin was swallowed by the Glutton!¡± He Jia was horrified. She knew Qin Feng¡¯s identity and how talented he was. Now this person who Mn had specifically invited over had been killed by the strongest ultra beast in the Abyssal Ocean, on his first day out at sea no less!

    How was she supposed to ry this news?

    At this time, the people on the two ships had started to panic.

    He Jia felt lost but when everyone else was more at a loss when she suddenly calmed down.

    Someone needed to stay calm if they wanted to survive the dangerous Abyssal Ocean.

    ¡°Begin to retreat!¡± He Jia¡¯s trembling voice ordered.

    Back in the deep-sea vessel, the people onboard were still in shambles and were silent at that time.

    These people were not Qin Feng¡¯s subordinates and even though Qin Feng showed that he could take on two B-tiers andpletely convinced them of his worth, they had no sense of loyalty to him.

    Besides that, they had no way of managing a rescue.

    Many B-tiers had been swallowed by the Glutton before, even some A-tiers had fallen prey to it. Nobody had ever heard of anyone who came back alive.

    Qin Feng was already dead in their minds!

    The deep-sea vessels returned to where they came as they carried news as disastrous as an earthquake.

    ***

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng and Yu Yangtao had been washed inside the Glutton by a torrent of seawater.

    Its body really was too big, when the water gushed in Qin Feng felt like he had fallen into the sea. He was surrounded by seemingly endless seawater.

    Very quickly, he felt that something was wrong.

    It seemed that there was a massive amount of dark energy that was draining his internal force.

    In the water, Qin Feng saw Yu Yangtao¡¯s horrified expression.

    His body was shrouded in a Typhoon Ball but the ball was getting weaker and weaker as its edges were getting dyed ck. If this were to keep going, the Typhoon Ball would definitely be destroyed!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force exploded outward and with a twist of his form he parted the waters to reach Yu Yangtao¡¯s side. The internal force spread out over three meters and enveloped Yu Yangtao.

    Then, Qin Feng activated his dark runes and spread it as a thinyer over his internal force.

    This shield had a very small effect and might not even be able to withstand an attack from a B-tier but it hid the two people¡¯s auras and blocked off the other dark runes.

    It was a manner of deception, he managed to deceive the surrounding runes and make the runes believe that there was nothing left so that they would stop being attacked.

    ¡°Thank you, thank you!¡± Yu Yangtao was finally able to rx, but his face was an ashened grey and his body looked exhausted.

    He was affected by the dark runes after all.

    What made people even more desperate was the fact that there was no escape!

    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it!¡± Qin Feng said. This time he did not try to resist the water current surrounding them and after getting hit by arge impact force they eventually stopped getting tossed about after half a minute or two.

    It was dark all around and Yu Yangtao could not make out anything outside of the surrounding ten meters. Even his consciousness was being heavily suppressed.

    Qin Feng seemed more rxed. The dark runes here were densely packed together but they have be his vision aid. To him, everything was as clear as day here

    ¡°I don¡¯t even know your name but thanks for the assist. Sorry for the trouble!¡± Yu Yangtao said and said his name soon after.

    Qin Feng already knew Yu Yangtao¡¯s name by then. ¡°No need to be so formal. I saved you because we¡¯re all members of the Human Alliance. I don¡¯t hold any regard for people on the Sea Devil and you just so happened to be nearby. Now, this is just an ident!¡±

    Previously when Qin Feng said he would step out to save people, that group of men decided to make fun of him for it.

    Now, after Qin Feng said that, and seeing him kill two B-tiers, the ocean suddenly did not seem so scary.

    Yu Yangtao did not know who Qin Feng was because he had been out at sea for quite a while, half a month at least. It was hard to get a signal when you were out in the ocean and it could be quite secluded.

    He did not care about what was happening in the world, the Prodigy Tournament, and only got news from myths and legends that circted among his peers. He did not even know about the incident at Cinderst City.

    As such, for Yu Yangtao, Qin Feng looked like some kind of genius powerhouse or a child of one of those secretive families. He had a lot of guesses but he did not have the thought of asking!

    Who knew how long they would still be alive.

    At this moment, a ray of ice blue light appeared in Yu Yangtao¡¯s line of sight. He stared at it intently as he locked onto the direction with his straining consciousness and suddenly realised who it was.

    ¡°Its Chen Sha!¡±

    Yu Yangtao was surprised that the other person was not dead yet.

    However, it seemed like he was just barely hanging on.

    Qin Feng surged his internal force and approached the other person¡¯s side. What he found was Chen Sha¡¯s body floating through the water. He was surrounded by dark runes and the ice runes inside his body were getting eaten away.

    ¡°Save me!¡±

    When Chen Sha saw Qin Feng and Yu Yangtao, a glimmer of hope filled his eyes as if he had forgotten they had been fighting each other to the death before. Their positions hadpletely switched since their previous encounter.

    ¡°Save you? Hah, you¡¯re better off dead!¡± Yu Yangtao could not help but jeer at the man. If Chen Sha had not intercepted, they would not have been swallowed by the Glutton Leviathan.

    Qin Feng was expressionless as he said, ¡°Don¡¯t waste your breath on him. People like these, saving him is the same as a passing mercy!¡±

    With that said, Qin Feng curled a finger and burst forth internal force with a flick forward.

    Pfft!

    The internal force collided with Chen Sha¡¯s forehead.

    Chen Sha¡¯s body shuddered before light began to leave his eyes.

    Soon, without his consciousness holding everything together, the ice runes around him quickly melted away and his body was gradually corroded as his bones became visible. Then even the bones melted away as quickly as they appeared.

    Yu Yangtao shuddered, the hatred in his eyes was reced by despair.

    After all, Chen Sha¡¯s fate might be his very soon.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was not thinking about that. The moment Chen Sha died, Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability quickly activated and slurped up the energy from Chen Sha¡¯s dying body with the most important one being his consciousness.

    What Qin Feng soon discovered was that when Chen Sha died, the consciousness he consumed was much less than what he expected.

 Chapter 666 - The Gluttonâ€™s Treasure

    <h4>Chapter 666: The Glutton¡¯s Treasure</h4>

    ¡®Looks like the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s power is simr to my own Absorption Ability. Makes sense, after all, darkness is innately all-consuming!¡¯

    Even though its own absorption ability was very powerful, there were some things that could not be absorbed such as spatial rune equipment. Qin Feng swept out with his consciousness and within the sea water he detected that glittering silver spatial rune equipment.

    Almost instantly, Qin Feng looked revitalized.

    That was because he had discovered a whole bunch of stone-like objects nestled at the bottom of the sea water.

    The amount that he detected was absolutely shocking.

    There must have been hundreds of those all around.

    He immediately manipted his internal force to carry him down and used his consciousness to gather up the stone-like objects.

    A tightly packed stream of silver light slithered into Qin Feng¡¯s internal force and stopped in front of him.

    ¡°Whoa! These! These are...¡± Yu Yangtao was immediately shocked. He had never seen so many spatial stones before and it seemed like these spatial stones had been smoothed out by constant friction, despite that they contained items!

    ¡°These must be the belongings of the aptitude users that the Glutton Leviathan killed!¡± Qin Feng breathed, his eyes glittered at the sight in front of him.

    Those who were killed by the Glutton were about C-tier and among these aptitude users, some of its victims could very well be A-tiers as well.

    ¡°Yeah, but it¡¯s a shame that these things arepletely useless to us!¡± Yu Yangtao said solemnly. Their lives were in danger, what good were a bunch of trinkets?

    Qin Feng thought this funny and did not bother exining himself, instead he said, ¡°Since you don¡¯t have any interest in this, Sir. Don¡¯t mind me if I help myself!¡±

    ¡°I might not be dead now but that¡¯s because I was lucky enough to have met you. As for these things, I wouldn¡¯t be so brazen as to ask for them!¡± Yu Yangtao said.

    Qin Feng smiled, thinking that the man would probablyter regret his words.

    He pulled out hisbat backpack from his spatial rune equipment and packed all these spatial stones in it. He kept wandering through the sea water, collecting spatial stones wherever he went!

    He carried the backpack on his back, and while he was physically strong, eventually he started to feel a little bit weighed down.

    This was unimaginable wealth!

    Who knew how many people the Glutton Leviathan had killed these past years.

    ¡°So, how much longer can youst with your internal force, Brother?¡±

    Yu Yangtao observed Qin Feng for a while, thinking that Qin Feng was fulfilling a fantasy about being rich before he died but what he did not expect was that after ten minutes the internal force around them was still plentiful as if it was not being eaten away.

    This really surprised Yu Yangtao.

    ¡°It¡¯s enough to stay up for about ten days, probably even half a month!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Yu Yangtao waspletely bbergasted. ¡°You¡¯re joking!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the point of joking in this current situation?¡± Qin Feng said and within the span of his consciousness he could no longer detect any spatial stones. Still, he was not finished and pulled back his consciousness to pay attention to the most important matter at hand.

    ¡°What kind of ultra beast is the Glutton Leviathan? Where¡¯s its heart or its crystal core?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Yu Yangtao raised a brow. ¡°And you¡¯re asking this why?¡±

    Qin Feng naturally replied with, ¡°To kill it of course!¡±

    ¡°How... how would that be possible?¡±

    ¡°Nothing¡¯s in this world is impossible. We might not have been able to damage it on the outside since this thing is sorge and so powerful but once we¡¯re inside it it has no power against us. Naturally we¡¯ll have no problems!¡±

    Yu Yangtao was stunned by Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    But very soon he responded, ¡°How could it not have any power? The Glutton Leviathan is a deep-sea whale beast. It¡¯s huge and it has control over the dark ability as well as the water ability. We¡¯re in its stomach right now and seawater could wash us away at any moment. Not to mention if we touch its blood we¡¯ll die instantly!¡±

    Just as he finished talking a gush of sea water suddenly came down from above, along with a terrifying ten-meter long ultra beast.

    Yu Yangtao jumped at the sight out of fright, this terrifying ultra beast was a B-tier beast emperor.

    The B-tier ultra beast¡¯s body had been bitten in two and the moment it reached the stomach it was immediately being digested by the dark runes around them. Qin Feng did not hesitate to help himself, pulling out his Verdant Emperor Saber and carving away at the beast to collect what materials he could salvage. All that mattered was if the crystal core was still intact.

    Yu Yangtao could not help but admire Qin Feng¡¯s determination.

    ¡®Is this Qin Feng guy some kind of money addict?¡¯ he thought to himself.

    At this time, when the massive ultra beast dropped into the stomach, a viscous white fluid began to leak from the surrounding walls.

    Hsssss!

    The liquid melded with the sea water and seemingly melted it away. Not only that, there were several hard to digest fragments of deep-sea vessels still scattered about which were quickly getting melted away as well.

    Qin Feng¡¯s demeanor changed immediately.

    The dark runes he could deal with but this was something else entirely!

    This kind of stomach acid could digest everything except spatial stones. His internal force was getting quickly eaten away. If this continued on he could only persist for about an hour, let alone persisting for ten days and half a month!

    ¡°Even if we don¡¯t want to move, we have to do it now!¡±

    Qin Feng said as he grabbed Yu Yangtao and moved quickly.

    The stomach acid was stronger near the Glutton¡¯s stomach walls but Qin Feng had to get close to it.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber ignited with a dark fuchsia me before he used it to hack open a hole in the wall.

    With a sh, he cut arge gap in the stomach wall and pulled Yu Yangtao along as he jumped out. They were surrounded by red flesh and blood but after Qin Feng hopped out, his internal force was no longer being affected by the stomach acid.

    All of a sudden, Yu Yangtao and Qin Feng felt the space around them turn.

    What came after was a deafening roar that seemed to be right next to them.

    That must have been the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s roar.

    If it was just a roar, then it was nothing but this carried with it an overwhelming pressure.

    The Glutton Leviathan was close to that of a beast diety.

    This pressure made it hard for anyone to breathe.

    Qin Feng could feel his veins pulse beneath his forehead while Yu Yangtao began to shake violently as his face turned pale, reeling and on the verge of copse.

    ¡°Hold steady!¡±

    Qin Feng reached out to grab Yu Yangtao with one hand and the other plunged the Verdant Emperor Saber into the Glutton¡¯s fleshy walls.

    ¡°Ah!¡± Yu Yangtao let out a scream. Although he had grown to ept his fate earlier, suddenly he was too afraid to die.

    In his panic, he saw Qin Feng¡¯s face and suddenly a thought floated into his mind.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to die. If I follow this person then I will survive! I won¡¯t die. I need to hang on, hang on!¡±

    A B-tier through and through, pinning his hopes on some C-tier that they had just met for the first time. Nobody would have believed it if they heard such a thing.

 Chapter 667 - There Is Hope If We Stay Alive

    <h4>Chapter 667: There Is Hope If We Stay Alive</h4>

    But that just so happened to be the case right now!

    The Glutton tossed and turned in the ocean and Qin Feng did not know what disaster would ur on the outside but he knew that he and Yu Yangtao had just been affected by a massive amount of pressure whilst inside the creature.

    A terrifying presence to behold.

    However, Qin Feng and Yu Yangtao both adapted under this huge amount of pressure, or in other words they had to adapt.

    Yu Yangtao was drenched in cold sweat by then and said, ¡°Back then I¡¯ve heard in the Darkest City there¡¯s a special secret dimension that is holding back a horrible beast deity. The aura of this beast deity can stimte someone¡¯s potential and improve their consciousness. It sounded likeplete bullshit but I¡¯m starting to believe it now!¡±

    The Glutton Leviathan was not a beast deity but it was terrifying enough!

    ¡°This can indeed stimte potential, but not many people can bear it!¡±

    What Yu Yangtao did not know was that the pressure he felt was not the same pressure Qin Feng was under.

    After all, Qin Feng had activated his internal force and dark runes to form a shield around himself and even formed a consciousness barrier around him to prevent this terrible pressure. Even with his SS-tier consciousness potential, he could hardly withstand it all.

    If that fell on Yu Yangtao, Qin Feng was afraid that the man would then proceed to immediately ck out and everything would be over.

    At this time, Qin Feng looked back to the stomach wall and it healed quickly at a speed that the naked eye could see. The flesh around him squirmed as they began to close up and if that happened Qin Feng would bepletely trapped!

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid we¡¯re going to experience another quake, can you handle it?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°If our way to freedom means that we¡¯ll have to hack our way through the Glutton¡¯s body then I¡¯m ready for anything!¡± Yu Yangtao looked more energized as he replied to Qin Feng.

    Before this, he hadpletely given up hope and willingly epted his death. Now that he had seen it, he was naturally unwilling to give up.

    Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°If we dig through neither of us is going to survive!¡±

    ¡°Hah! I suppose you¡¯re right. We wouldn¡¯t be able to hurt the Glutton on the outside!¡± Yu Yangtao seemed cheerier than before as he continued, ¡°In fact, I don¡¯t think anyone is going to believe me when I say it. Countless people were eaten by the Glutton Leviathan and got dissolved by its stomach acid with no chance of survival. We had no hope of surviving all that but here we are! Still alive!¡±

    At this moment, Yu Yangtao was looking at Qin Feng with a gaze of astonishment and full of sincere admiration.

    All of these in front of him were made possible by Qin Feng.

    Yu Yangtao was swallowed by the Glutton Leviathan and as a result, when he arrived at the stomach most of his wind runes were corroded by its dark runes. He could not fight it and he would have been dead in less than ten minutes as despair filled his heart.

    But Qin Feng was alive and kicking now and his internal force had not weakened at all. If what Qin Feng said was true, then it was more terrifying!

    Yu Yangtao still had no idea what kind of person Qin Feng was.

    ¡®This person definitely isn¡¯t some random nobody, if we can escape then I need to do some checking. If able, when this person reaches B-tier, I want to be his deputy and repay this kindness!¡¯

    Yu Yangtao was already thinking about working for Qin Feng, ready to repay his debt.

    Immediately, Qin Feng raised the Verdant Emperor Saber and the two immediately dropped down. The surrounding space was quivering as flesh began to squeeze toward them.

    ¡°Levitation!¡±

    Yu Yangtao¡¯s ability burst out. Levitation was a very weak ability but at this very moment, it had its uses.

    The wind runes wrapped around them and allowed the two to float through the air and avoid hitting the fleshy walls of the limited space around them.

    In this case, Qin Feng naturally stabilized himself and the Verdant Emperor Saber erupted with power again.

    The weapon moved like a whirlwind, digging out chunks of flesh from the Glutton. Qin Feng did not waste the resources and quickly shoved some chunks of flesh into his spatial rune equipment.

    He quickly reached out to grab a stray piece and activated his fire ability, roasting the flesh before throwing it to Yu Yangtao.

    ¡°Eat some and replenish your strength!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Hahaha, this is the meat of an A-tier beast king!¡± Yu Yangtaoughed and his mood bid farewell to that despair that initially filled him, he even started to feel a little bit reckless and took a bite out of the meat. He felt a burst of energy blending into his body. The energy of the Glutton Leviathan made him feelpletely refreshed!

    That lethargic feeling brought on by the dark runes before seemed to have disappeared the moment the piece of meat was swallowed.

    Qin Feng also took a bite out of the sea beast¡¯s flesh and felt like he had eaten the best thing he had ever had.

    Now that there were so many around him, Qin Feng immediately started to eat as much as he could fit into his mouth.

    The most important thing was that unlike Yu Yangtao, Qin Feng¡¯s consumption was absolutely terrifying. After eating this meat, with the energy he gained even his internal force was slightly replenished, not to mention the dark runes!

    All of a sudden, Qin Feng began to sh more vigorously.

    Meanwhile, in the Abyssal Ocean, a terrifying storm had broken out. The Glutton Leviathan shrieked out as it tossed and turned, churning up massive waves that turned into tsunamis, tornadoes that formed into water spouts as all forms of disasters tore through the waters.

    Some unfortunate aptitude users were caught in such a situation and frantically tried to retreat.

    ¡°Aaah! It¡¯s the Glutton!¡±

    ¡°Run! Run away!¡±

    ¡°Retreat, retreat quickly! Defensive shielding at 200%, maximum speed at 200%! Move it!¡±

    A roar, a terrible ringing roar continued to st throughout.

    ¡°WaaaooooAAOOOaaoOOO!¡±

    When the Glutton Leviathan roared, it sted out its terrible aura for all of the world to experience. In a nearby deep-sea vessel, several C-tiers began to bleed from all of the orifices on their face as they copsed to the ground, leaving only one B-tier left standing along with a few who managed to withstand the powerful pressure.

    They held on and frantically tried to escape. Fortunately the Glutton Leviathan did not try chasing after them and allowed the submarine to escape a horrible demise.

    When these people managed to escape, they could not help but celebrate as they cried tears of joy.

    ¡°Boss, I thought I felt that something was off. The Glutton¡¯s cry. It sounded like it was hurt!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! That cry! It was a cry of pain!¡±

    ¡°Could it be that the Glutton Leviathan was attacked by another ultra beast? Yeesh! What could be stronger than the Glutton? The Hundred? The Devil Mountain?¡±

    The B-tier listened to these people¡¯s discussion before weakly waving a hand. ¡°I didn¡¯t see anything and I don¡¯t intend on seeing it either. We survived and that¡¯s already incredibly lucky. Stop thinking nonsense, hurry back so we can do repairs!¡±

    After this experience, everyone was extremely exhausted!

    ***

    Meanwhile, the Deep-sea Feng Li, along with Yu Yangtao¡¯s deep-sea vessel returned to the dock of East Sea City!

    After leaving the Abyssal Ocean, He Jia immediately ryed a message to inform Mn of the news!

    Only after they had docked, He Jia noticed that the Fengli aircraft Qin Feng left behind had not left yet and the Fengli Organization¡¯s people were still busy with something.

    Thinking of Qin Feng¡¯s death, this huge group would surely copse and they definitely had not heard of the bad news!

    As such, He Jia¡¯s face was deathly pale as she hurried forward to find Guo Guan.

 Chapter 668 - The Fengli Organizationâ€™s Attitude

    <h4>Chapter 668: The Fengli Organization¡¯s Attitude</h4>

    What He Jia did not expect was when she delivered the news to Guo Guan, the man did not look devastated at all. Instead he took a puff from his cigarette and scrunched up his brows as if in deep thought.

    ¡°So what you¡¯re saying is you didn¡¯t see President Qin die, you only saw him get swallowed by some sea beast?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not just any sea beast, I know this is hard for you but you need to understand this, the Glutton Leviathan is extremely powerful. It might as well have an A-tier beast emperor¡¯s power, maybe even a step away from a beast deity. Such a creature, even if an A-tier tried to face it they would wind up dead and Governor Qin is only C-tier!¡±

    Guo Guan raised a hand, cutting off the other person¡¯s increasingly panicked babbling.

    ¡°I know, but our President Qin Feng isn¡¯t just any normal C-tier!¡±

    He had been with Qin Feng for a long time and had a deep understanding of him.

    After that, Guo Guan opened up hismunicator and immediately called someone¡¯s number.

    He had to call a number a few times before he finally got through and when he did a silver-haired silver-eyed woman appeared on themunicator¡¯s screen. She was devastatingly beautiful and suddenly made He Jia feel extremely embarrassed the moment she appeared.

    This was no mortal!

    Guo Guan was already prepared, lowering his head and not looking at Bai Li¡¯s face but did so in a respectful manner.

    ¡°Sorry to disturb you, Vice President. I¡¯ve received some news over here and I just wanted to confirm something with you.¡±

    ¡°What is it?¡± Bai Li gave Guo Guan an odd look. She was not responsible for a lot of things so it was strange that someone woulde to her to confirm anything.

    The moment Guo Guan heard these three words, he suddenly seemed less tense, his expression more rxed.

    ¡°It¡¯s like this, today the President went out to sea and the aptitude user who went with himter returned saying that the President is in danger and has been swallowed by a massive ultra beast. We¡¯re not sure about the specific situation!¡±

    Bai Li frowned and said, ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Qin Feng¡¯s fine!¡±

    Guo Guan nodded, expressing his understanding.

    ¡°I understand, pardon me!¡± Guo Guan said.

    ¡°If you¡¯re worried, I can go and check it out!¡±

    ¡°No, it should be fine. I believe the president can handle it himself!¡±

    ¡°Okay, then I¡¯m hanging up!¡±

    When Bai Li hung up, Guo Guan seemed to be in brighter spirits and called someone else with hismunicator.

    He Jia stared at him nkly and immediately said, ¡°That¡¯s it? What do you mean? Who was that woman?¡±

    Guo Guan raised a hand to shush He Jia as hismunicator was picked up again.

    ¡°Old Guo? What¡¯s the matter?¡± The person on the other end was the modestly wealthy Xue Xingfu.

    ¡°Old Xue, it¡¯s like this. The President¡¯s gone out to the sea and disappeared. I¡¯m afraid we might have to stop operations here for a while!¡±

    ¡°Disappeared again? He really likes to make people ufortable. Come back and avoid getting any attention or else people will think ourpany head has actually gone and try to take advantage of us. Good thing Miss Bai didn¡¯t go out with him, these B-tiers are a pain in the neck!¡±

    ¡°Alright, understood. Business here will be suspended, I¡¯ll be withdrawing now!¡±

    ¡°Alright, see youter!¡±

    After that call ended, He Jia raised an eyebrow and said in disbelief, ¡°Mr Guo, you still don¡¯t believe what happened to Governor Qin? I saw it with my own eyes!¡±

    Guo Guan nodded and said, ¡°I know but you don¡¯t know President Qin. So, what you saw with your own eyes isn¡¯t necessarily the result of what you said, besides the President will be fine. Believe me, he¡¯ll be back in about a month, wait, maybe less than that!¡±

    ¡°How is that possible? Why would you say that? Is there any evidence to prove that he¡¯s alright? What you¡¯re saying is just guesswork and expectations! If things aren¡¯t what you think then it¡¯ll be toote by then!¡± He Jia said.

    She thought what Guo Guan had to do was inform the people of the Fengli Organization and the North Sea State to be fully prepared, and maybe disperse their business to prevent enemies from reaching their door.

    Guo Guan replied, ¡°We have our own criteria when ites to this. Don¡¯t worry about it and if you don¡¯t understand that then I guess we¡¯re done talking. I can¡¯t tell you more! It¡¯s a Fengli Organization¡¯s secret!¡±

    Such a secret was something that nobody should know of.

    But really, the secret was very simple and some people in the upper levels had already figured it out!

    Bai Li was as simple as a sheet of paper. She had only lived with humans for about two years and had a very short time to understand how the human society functioned. Eventually, there were going to be some slip ups!

    What was more, Bai Li did not seem to care at all and by now, neither did Qin Feng!

    Previously, he fussed over it because he was not strong enough. In the G-tier, possessing a contract with a beast king was pretty much a crime.

    By now, even A-tiers could not see through Bai Li and the S-tiers, who could, did not seem to care very much. Qin Feng had not been warning Bai Li as often to conceal herself either.

    What was more, there was one person who had known about Bai Li¡¯s true identity for a very long time now and that was Zhou Hao.

    The other people who had been in contact for a period of time would eventually notice that something was off.

    For example, the first time people met Bai Li they thought she had dyed her hair and was wearing colored contact lenses. However, Bai Li had never been seen dyeing her hair and it became clear that there was nothing covering her eyes either.

    There was also her spatial maniption, which was obviously not within the scope of control a human could have h.

    Not only that, when she sometimes revealed her aura the pressure she unleashed waspletely different from that of a human¡¯s.

    Gradually, the upper ss figured out that Bai Li was some kind of humanoid ultra beast and this beast had signed a contract with Qin Feng.

    As such, due to the contract if anything did happen to Qin Feng then Bai Li would be the first to know but she seemed fine, as if nothing had happened to the contractor at all.

    Of course, Guo Guan was not going to say this to He Jia.

    He quickly recalled his men. As for the Deep-sea Feng Li, he stopped caring about it and opened up a spatial rift to take his people back to the North Sea state.

    ***

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng who had no idea what was going on in the outside world was having his own crisis.

    His wanton destruction of the Glutton¡¯s insides was obviously causing it severe pain but likewise the creature eventually figured out what was causing this uncontroble pain in its body.

    Countless dark runes gathered and coalesced in the area where it suffered the most pain, trying to kill the thing that was the culprit.

    Like when a person was sick and their body¡¯s natural immune system would send out antibodies to deal with the virus.

    Around Qin Feng, a number of dark shadows appeared

    ¡°Wuu!¡±

    These phantoms took on the shape of the Glutton Leviathan, forming a hideous sea beast with a gaping maw as they pounced out from the surrounding walls.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was activated and a fire dragon was summoned around him to defend against these dark shadows.

    ¡°Tailwind Assist!¡± Yu Yangtao activated his wind runes and with the power of his wind runes added in, he amplified the strength of the mes and doubled the effectiveness of the fire dragon.

 Chapter 669 - A Devastating Strike

    <h4>Chapter 669: A Devastating Strike</h4>

    They did not have much room to maneuver around in and as such the battle constantly tore away at the Glutton¡¯s flesh.The fight carried on past seven or eight meters onward butpared to the thousand meter long Glutton Leviathan, that was nothing. It did not cause severely drastic changes to its body but it did suffer from unbearable pain.

    As time passed more and more dark shadows appeared, a seemingly endless tide.

    Yu Yangtao, who had originally recuperated, eventually reached a point where he could not continue!

    His power might have been B1-tier but his runes were finite and he needed time to recover!

    Qin Feng used a lot of his consciousness as well but with the power he had within him he was still able to keep fighting.

    ¡°Perish!¡±

    His Verdant Emperor Saber burst out a wave of dark fuchsia mes as the razor sharp de edge shed the iing shadows into pieces.

    In that moment, when the shadows in front of him were destroyed he saw a wall of flesh that he immediately brought his de down upon and cut arge circr piece out of it.

    ¡°Kriiyah!¡±

    Behind him, four more shadowy sea beasts burst out to stop him from moving while the wall in front of him unleashed another shadowy creature and prevented him from going forward.

    How could Qin Feng stop just like that?

    ¡°Burning Blossom!¡±

    He fought back, shattering the shadows behind him, and with another hand he unleashed a Dragon Strike directed at the ce where he was standing.

    Internal force shattered the dark runes around him and Qin Feng dug out a piece of flesh again.

    With Qin Feng running amok, the amount of flesh that he had collected in his spatial rune equipment weighed over a thousand kilos but as the Glutton continued to fight back Qin Feng could not linger around and the Glutton¡¯s powerful regeneration had also sealed up the hole that he made in its stomach.

    It was a tug of war battle.

    It depended on Qin Feng¡¯s destructive power or the Glutton¡¯s regenerative ability!

    ¡°We can¡¯t explore this ce at all. If this goes on, we¡¯ll definitely die! I¡¯m using too much energy!¡±

    It had been three hours and Yu Yangtao was at his reserves.

    He felt like he was about to copse.

    In this current situation, for Yu Yangtao, every moment was a struggle. In order to withstand the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s pressure he had to maintain his levitation on both of them but at the same time he did not feel it right to stand back and let Qin Feng do all the fighting.

    Sometimes it was hard to admit defeat but it was even harder to give up.

    ¡°Save your strength. You don¡¯t need to use abilities when I do, just keep levitation up!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Yu Yangtao took out a syringe containing cyan liquid from his spatial rune equipment. ¡°Give me half an hour!¡±

    Qin Feng knew what it was from the first nce. It was a quick recovery injection for wind ability users!

    The effects of this injection were very powerful, restoring runes and recharging consciousness. However, the drawback was that the effects would lessen the longer it was used on the body and overtime it could even affect someone¡¯s potential.

    But now was not the time to care about such things.

    ¡°Don¡¯t force yourself, just hang on!¡± Qin Feng also knew that it was not possible for him to kill the Glutton Leviathan in a few hours and it was necessary for Yu Yangtao to take the injection.

    ¡°I know!¡± Yu Yangtao gritted his teeth and injected the syringe¡¯s contents.

    Qin Feng ended up paying less attention to Yu Yangtao. There were more and more dark sea beastsing their way, which meant that he had to keep fighting like mad, killing everything in his way and resisting with his consciousness.

    He was basically doing the same thing over and over again.

    Yu Yangtao no longer used his abilities to fight the sea beasts and focused his attention on Qin Feng. Of course, he would not talk and interfere with Qin Feng¡¯s fights but the more Qin Feng fought, the more frightening it was to him.

    One hour passed!

    Two hours passed!

    Three hours passed!

    It had been nine hours since the two were swallowed by the Glutton Leviathan. Qin Feng did not look tired at all. The more he fought the bolder he became, Yu Yangtao did not even see Qin Feng ingest any elixirs. It was just him and his sword against everything that came at him.

    Naturally, Yu Yangtao did not know that Qin Feng recovered with each kill he had!

    The sea beast shadows had terrifying power but they were made out of runes and consciousness. Everytime Qin Feng broke through these runes he absorbed them into his body and allowed his consciousness to recharge.

    Besides that, as long as he could slice through the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s flesh, he could consume it and regain physical strength and internal force.

    In this state, Qin Feng could keep fighting for an unlimited amount of time!

    The Glutton Leviathan naturally would not be still as it also had the Absorption Ability. After being unable to digest Qin Feng, it could only eat other ultra beasts in the sea so that it could recover from its injuries.

    However, due to the pain and suffering caused by eating humans. It no longer dared to hunt down human beings.

    This led to plenty of deep-sea vessels fleeing the Abyssal Ocean. After a few hours of this ruckus they decided to flee the sea and did not dare to return.

    On the dock, He Jia, who found out about the news, was dumbstruck.

    ¡°Could it be that Qin Feng isn¡¯t dead? How is that possible?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s way too much of a coincidence. A few hours after Qin Feng had been eaten, all these weird things started to happen!¡±

    ¡°In that case...just what kind of person is Qin Feng?¡±

    ***

    Back in the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s body, Qin Feng was still struggling through the dark runes and killing everything in his way. The space around them was getting smaller and Qin Feng knew that if he kept going the Glutton Leviathan would finally adjust to him!

    It was just that the Glutton¡¯s body was too big and with this constant barrage of attacks it was still difficult to progress. After these few hours, Qin Feng was certain that he had not moved more than one hundred meters and he still had the chance of getting attacked by the Glutton and being sent back to square one!

    But for Yu Yangtao, Qin Feng hadpletely turned his world upside down.

    ¡°Take your time. We¡¯ll find it eventually. The Glutton Leviathan is big but it¡¯s only a few thousand meters long. Kill it!¡± Yu Yangtao was full of energy, watching Qin Feng with a creeping sense of admiration.

    He really did not know where this kind of demon came from.

    Qin Feng nodded and said, ¡°If the Glutton¡¯s stomach is at its lowest point and it¡¯s a sea beast that can use abilities, that means that its crystal core is inside its brain, not its heart!¡±

    ¡°Even so, its heart is still a weak spot!¡±

    ¡°Then, we will see!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness waspletely unable to detect what was outside, so he did not know where he was but if he wanted to destroy, his methods were too gentle!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber gradually reached the fever pitch of its dangerous power!

    In the next moment, the de¡¯s re shed through the air.

    ¡°Burning Skies!¡±

    The dark fuchsia mes shed through the air!

    With such a formidable force, the surrounding flesh was immediately torn apart, and the dark-rune wielding sea beasts turned into ash!

    All of the blood and flesh within a ten meter radius around him were carved away and a de that was ten meters long flew out!

    If youpared the Glutton Leviathan to a human, the pains in its stomach were like horrible indigestion but now it felt more like someone had taken a sharp knife and violently stabbed into it.

 Chapter 670 - Continuous Advancement

    <h4>Chapter 670: Continuous Advancement</h4>

    It was a formidable and deadly attack, but it was not the best option for Qin Feng!

    The energy absorbed from the attack was not as much as he would obtain from shing the wall of flesh.

    As long as the Glutton was not killed, it was still impossible to transform energy by burning the flesh using mes.

    However, it was the most violent approach avable!

    Meanwhile, Yu Yangtao was speechless and utterly shocked!

    All these while, Qin Feng was only utilizing a small fraction of his true capabilities?

    Boom!

    While Yu Yangtao was struck dumb, the world was overturned, and one could imagine that it was an overwhelming moment for Yu Yangtao!

    At that moment, arge pool of blood burst out suddenly from a flesh passage above.

    It was like a deluge that had instantly flooded the entire world, Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield immediately responded with screeching noises. It was obvious that the blood was embedded with horrifying amounts of energy.

    Qin Feng amplified his internal strength and activated an empty spatial rune equipment to draw in the insane amount of blood.

    It was extremely valuable.

    Meanwhile, Yu Yangtao also hurriedly drew in the blood. Finally, he felt that they would definitely survive the escape!

    Also, it would definitely be a shocking act.

    ¡°That must be one of the Glutton¡¯s veins!¡± Yu Yangtao pointed out while looking at the horrifying blood in the surrounding.

    Qin Feng nodded.

    ¡°That¡¯s right! Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng tip-toed, his entire body was elevated, while his internal strength shield resisted the pressure from the blood, he then managed to find the opening where the blood had gushed out.

    Qin Feng forced his way against the current.

    While both of them forced themselves into the vein, the Glutton¡¯s internal injuries were also recovering at a shocking pace.

    However, it was obvious that the Glutton was heavily injured, the energy drain had weakened its body, and it would most probably be the most painful injury that it had ever had since it became infamous!

    After that painful moment, even the pain that it had suffered earlier had disappeared, it was because Qin Feng and Yu Yangtao had already integrated themselves into the vein of the Glutton.

    Qin Feng was surrounded by dark runes that allowed him to hide his traces, he manoeuvred under the runes and even the Glutton¡¯s consciousness did not realize that the humans within its body were up to something more horrifying.

    Before the end times, the vein of an ordinary giant whale would already suffice to fit in a swimming infant, but the vein of the Glutton was almost the same as the size of a river.

    Within the rapid flowing arteries, Qin Feng and Yu Yangtao were drifting along with the high-speed flow.

    It had been more than ten minutes when Qin Feng was surprised by a sudden loud echo.

    Dong!

    It was like the entire world trembled along with the vibrations of the echo.

    Yu Yangtao immediately shouted, ¡°It¡¯s here, the heart!¡±

    Blood flow was all around, Qin Feng suddenly swam backward!

    It had been approximately a minute, and the true reason had finally appeared!

    Dong!

    Surprisingly, the heart of the Glutton would only pulse once every minute, but the massive force from the pumping heart had already trapped Qin Feng and Yu Yangtao within the chaotic flow. It was like they were constantly being pushed down by it.

    ¡°It¡¯s here!¡±

    Qin Feng took out a helmet and put it on!

    Instantly, the ordinary lookingbat fatigue was seemingly illuminating, and its entire body seemed to be in a naturallyplete state.

    The Sacred Armor had been fully assembled.

    Then, approximately ten horrifying energy spheres appeared around Qin Feng.

    The horrifying energy embedded within the Sacred Armor was capable of exploding into the same energy output as the full force attack from an A-tier aptitude user!

    Qin Feng had activated all of the ten energy spheres in all directions, they were everywhere around him.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Feng let out an enraged roar, the energy spheres then merged into the blood flow and ran wild.

    As the unmonitored source of energy collided with something else, it would then activate an instant massive explosion!

    It did not matter if Qin Feng was unaware of his exact location, as his attack would definitely trigger turbulence in the surroundings, and it was more destructive than the zing Sky style.

    At that moment, Qin Feng had maximized his conscious energy to the highest level!

    Boom boom boom boom boom...

    The massive explosions were almost synchronized together, Qin Feng felt the countless number of irregr currents that he had to barge through. The external of his internal strength shield was also sted by fresh blood and pieces of flesh, causing cracking noises.

    From the outside, the Glutton that was roaming through the borderless ocean was struck by a sudden shiver throughout its body, while blood gushed out from its eyes and mouth like overflowing waterfalls.

    Gigantic waves spiralled into rapid torrents while a stretch of ck clouds was formed above its head.

    The spiralssted for about five minutes before the body settled, even the horrendous waves were unable to flip the gigantic body that was like an ind. The torrential waves had then slowed down while the dark clouds gradually disappeared.

    Meanwhile, an unknown source of energy was fuelling a person that was within the body of the Glutton.

    It was exactly Qin Feng!

    Movements of the flesh in the surroundings were paused, while the pulsating blood flow was also slowed down, and Qin Feng who was submerged within the blood and flesh was only able to feel the rapidly dispersing energy.

    The dispersion was too overwhelming and even Qin Feng could not contain it!

    At that moment, Qin Feng could not hide his true potential anymore, and his Diamond Starglobe began to spiral in wild movements.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Within seconds, energy dispersed into the surroundings was pulled back by a reversed flow.

    It was like an invisible giant hand had taken control of the surroundings, absorbing the heaven and earth spirit auras while drawing them into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Walls of flesh in the surrounding were gradually reducing, while energy flow began to merge into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Qin Feng¡¯s aura was also slowly increasing!

    Boom!

    Within seconds, Qin Feng had achieved a breakthrough!

    C8-tier!

    It was just the breakthrough of the physical body, then, it was followed by a booming sound that echoed from within the body.

    Conscious energy breakthrough!

    C8-tier!

    Meanwhile, Yu Yangtao, who was beside him, was struck by a spine-chilling moment.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability had skipped him, or else, even though Yu Yangtao was a living person, the energy within his body and his lifespan would still be sucked away from him.

    Although he was not a part of it, being a powerful B-tier aptitude user himself, Yu Yangtao¡¯s consciousness was still strong enough to sense the changes that had taken ce in the surroundings.

    Also, without the mighty presence of the Glutton, he could finally extend his consciousness toward the surroundings.

    As the senses of the conscious energy became sharper, it would be more likely for it to sense changes in the surroundings.

    The blood that was drowning them was rapidly reducing, within minutes, both of them had finallynded onto an unknown spot of the Glutton.

    For the past few hours since they had entered into the Glutton¡¯s body, it was their first step onto solid ground!

    Qin Feng began to sit down crossed-legged. A spiral appeared between his eyebrows as blood was still flowing out from above and the surrounding walls, merging into the widespread ground that they were on. Soon, it was transformed into red powder and its energy was drained out.

    Boom!

    Another booming sound echoed within Qin Feng¡¯s body again.

    Continuous breakthrough!

    C9-tier!

 Chapter 671 - The Plunderers are All Dead

    <h4>Chapter 671: The Plunderers are All Dead</h4>

    Throughout Qin Feng¡¯s entire battle experience, it was his first encounter of double breakthrough; indeed, the physical and conscious energies of the Glutton were too overwhelming.

    The creature that was almost a thousand meters in length had the most powerful physical body that had ever existed.

    It had been approximately an hour when Qin Feng finally opened his eyes!

    After absorbing the energy left behind by the dead Glutton, Qin Feng was only one step away from achieving B-ter.

    Meanwhile, Yu Yangtao noticed that Qin Feng had opened his eyes and moved, he was like an awakened mighty beast.

    ¡°Qin Feng, congrattions!¡± Yu Yangtao eximed.

    Yu Yangtao knew that Qin Feng was a dark ability user that had mastered some sort of absorption ability. Although the same ability was also seen on somebody else, it was not as powerful as Qin Feng¡¯s.

    The ability to directly absorb physical matters and transform it into self-fulfilling energy was totally different from what he had seen before.

    However, it was undoubtedly the strongest ability that he had seen before.

    ¡°Thank you!¡± Qin Feng answered, he then looked around and continued, ¡°Let¡¯s head outside!¡±

    ¡°Ah! Alright, alright!¡±

    Yu Yangtao was also excited.

    Surprisingly, it had only been a little more than ten hours, and they had already killed the Glutton and were ready to return to the human world.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng had also reversed his internal strength shield, and obviously, Yu Yangtao no longer required his protection.

    ¡°Fiery Wings!¡± Blue mes appeared from behind Qin Feng while an extended pair of wings flew Qin Feng up.

    Yu Yangtao had also used his wind ability to follow suit!

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡± Qin Feng waved his Verdant Emperor Saber again, a cut slit through the wall of flesh that was a little stiff, and moisturized air was then channelled in.

    He had slit through the outer skin of the Glutton.

    The opening was sufficient for a human body to pass through, and Qin Feng then flew himself out.

    Meanwhile, ocean waves in the surroundings had calmed down. However, as they were still in the middle of the ocean, strong gales were still sweeping across, and the ocean sprays were still horrifying to look at.

    However, as he stood on the gigantic body of the Glutton, it was impossible for the ocean waters to hit his body.

    The buoyant force of the ocean water was extremely horrifying, even the expanded gases trapped within the body of the mighty Glutton would allow it to float in the air for some time.

    However, as Qin Feng slit opened the outer skin of the Glutton, the gases leaked, and Qin Feng clearly felt the sinking of the Glutton¡¯s body.

    The sinking was happening quickly.

    Yu Yangtao who was following closely from behind was immediately shocked by the scene.

    Meanwhile, from above the sky, a bunch of horrifying creatures were roaming around.

    ¡°Thunder Vultures!¡±

    Those creatures were more than ten meters in length, with their B-tier capabilities, they were like Pterosaurs that roamed around the sky.

    Also, they were densely packed together, there were about hundreds of them.

    Initially, those beasts were only recognized as a flock of little birds by the Glutton, but it had now died, and its dead body would undoubtedly draw thirst and attention from beasts around.

    At that moment, Yu Yangtao¡¯s sharp senses had noticed the appearance of a triangr logo on the surface of the ocean from afar.

    ¡°The Devil Shark!¡±

    Furthermore, the number of beasts gathering around had spiked.

    The blood of the Glutton was too enticing for the sea beasts!

    Qin Feng was instantly alerted by the situation.

    ¡°Gawk gawk!¡±

    The Thunder Vultures in the sky were hurting their ears with their unbearable noises. Also, they had sniffed and picked up the blood smell from the ce where Qin Feng had exited, they could no longer resist and flocked toward it.

    They were aiming for the flesh of the Glutton.

    How could Qin Feng allow that to happen? The outer skin of the Glutton was definitely a high-tier material, and its flesh was definitely a rare item, how could he allow those ultra beasts to possess them?

    Qin Feng instantly let out an enraged roar.

    ¡°Go away!¡±

    His Verdant Emperor Saber was shed across the air, a long stretch of dark fuchsia me was ignited and sted out!

    Instantly, three Thunder Vultures were halved.

    Thunder Vultures that were flying at lower altitude were immediately shocked and ascended higher, but those flying sea beasts were definitely not nning to leave.

    ¡°Gawk gawk!¡±

    The ultra beasts went berserk with their mixed noises, and it was disturbing to the mind.

    It was no longer a battle; it had escted to a war!

    If the situation were to get worse, it might even trigger a beast wave in the ocean.

    ¡°Qin Feng, let¡¯s retreat for now!¡± Meanwhile, Yu Yangtao was also unwilling to let go of the great fortune, but he knew that if they were to remain there, they could be drowned by countless numbers of ultra beasts!

    He had even sliced out some of the Glutton¡¯s flesh, but he no longer had the will to carry on.

    Realizing that the number of sea beasts around was growing, the moment of being a lucky survivor had also faded away, it was like he had gotten into another life-threatening situation.

    Yu Yangtao¡¯s day was utterly a roller-coaster ride.

    But Qin Feng certainly had a different thought.

    ¡°Those who dare to plunder from me are already dead!¡±

    Yu Yangtao bitterlyughed and continued, ¡°Well, you are referring to humans, but these are all ultra beasts!¡±

    ¡°The same goes to ultra beasts!¡±

    As Qin Feng spoke, his consciousness began to go wild.

    Qin Feng raised his hand.

    From Yu Yangtao¡¯s point of view, he was surprised by the horrifying dark runes that were forming on Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    Also, the formation of dark runes was constantly evolving, and it had gradually turned into a dark lotus.

    All of a sudden, every source of light from the surroundings was drawn toward the lotus. Visibility around the area was greatly reduced, but at the same time, horrifying presence was channelled out from the lotus and filling the atmosphere.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and seamlessly tossed the lotus up above his head.

    Within seconds, the lotus went through a sudden expansion and turned into a patch of horrifying dark clouds, it was floating in the sky.

    ¡°Apocalypse Bloom!¡±

    It was a dark ability that Qin Feng had not used for a long time!

    And its existence was definitely on par with the Fire Wall.

    However, the Fire Wall would be ineffective on the ocean. Although dark abilities were unavailing against the Glutton, it was definitely the ultimate death threat to other beasts, and nothing else woulde close in resisting against it!

    The giant dark cloud had transformed into a flower, and one of its petals had fallen off.

    It was a massive petal,parable with the body size of the Thunder Vultures, the moment when it had fallen down, all of the Thunder Vultures were shrouded by it.

    The petal had merged into the bodies of the Thunder Vultures and gone through them, and all of a sudden, they lost signs of life.

    It was extremely bizarre!

    After the first petal fell off, countless numbers of petals followed, and the Thunder Vultures were smacked down from the skies and flopped onto the ground like dumplings.

    ¡°This...¡± Obviously, Yu Yangtao had not expected that to happen, and he was struck dumb by the scene.

    Qin Feng¡¯sst ultimate skill to destroy the internal structures seemed to be fuelled by an endless amount of internal strength, it was already a shocking moment for Yu Yangtao. However, it was Yu Yangtao¡¯s first encounter with Qin Feng¡¯s true capability and his powerful strength.

    The appearance of the Apocalypse Bloom from above was intimidating, and the Thunder Vultures were annihted by the unexpected strike, they did not even have the chance to dodge it.

    But as the Thunder Vultures fell onto the Glutton¡¯s body, they added weight onto the body and increased its sinking speed!

 Chapter 672 - Dead Puppet Glutton

    <h4>Chapter 672: Dead Puppet Glutton</h4>

    ¡°Quickly collect the battle loot, or else it would be submerged into the ocean, and we will be left with nothing!¡± Qin Feng said hurriedly.

    ¡°Ah, yes!¡± Yu Yangtao immediately nodded, he then continued to release his wind ability and attempted to scrape off the outer skin of the Glutton.

    But it was an instant embarrassment for Yu Yangtao as he was surprised that his wind ability was unable to move any part of the outer skin from the dead ultra beast.

    Although the skin of the sea beast was not as rigid as the scales of some horrifying ultra beast, the imprable hide was still beyond Yu Yangtao¡¯s capability to destroy, even though he was a B-tier wind ability user.

    Hence, Yu Yangtao had no choice but to forfeit the external battle loot, he then returned into the body of the Glutton and more flesh was torn down.

    Obviously, Qin Feng had not stopped as well, his ability continued to rain down while his first priority was to rush toward the location where the skull of the Glutton was at.

    With his speed, it only took him three seconds to arrive at the skull.

    Qin Feng was swift in his movements, he stopped on the skull of the Glutton and pierced his Verdant Emperor Saber through the skin, revealing bones that were about the size of a house.

    It was covered by pale-coloured paste that could be easily identified by its appearance, Qin Feng cleaved himself into another tunnel and dug fifty meters in, only then was he able to see a massively sized crystal core.

    It was nothing simr to what he had seen before.

    Surprisingly, it was approximately a meter in diameter, all covered by dark runes and water runes, and as soon as Qin Feng got closer to it, his dark ability temptation began to stir up.

    Qin Feng cared about nothing else but the ability core, he then immediately inserted it into his spatial rune equipment.

    Then, Qin Feng rushed out from the skull of the Glutton.

    Every Thunder Vulture above the sky was dead, but the far surroundings were already packed with sea beasts that were running amok in tearing apart the body of the Glutton.

    They opened their mouths wide to gulp in the ocean water, and it seemed like they were filtering out the blood of the Glutton.

    However, all of their efforts in tearing the thick hide apart were still in vain.

    Yet, Qin Feng was capable of tearing it apart!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was waved and the hide was then punctured and slit opened, Qin Feng went wild sprinting and circling on the back of the Glutton

    After several cleaves from Qin Feng¡¯s saber, a huge chunk of flesh was torn down with fats still covering it.

    Nothing else could stop him from stuffing it into the spatial rune equipment!

    However, the Glutton¡¯s body was too big!

    Meanwhile, Yu Yangtao was bathing in blood, and as Qin Feng lifted up the hide from the surface of the Glutton¡¯s body, Yu Yangtao was immediately surrounded by fresh air. He then saw Qin Feng, and it was even more shocking for him to see the sea beasts that were lunging toward the Glutton to tear down its flesh.

    At that moment, Yu Yangtao no longer cared about his own safety, he was consumed by his own jealousy!

    Yu Yangtao¡¯s heart was utterly bleeding!

    If he was capable enough, he would definitely kill all of those sea beasts, those were all the flesh of the Glutton, and it was all money!

    However, the Glutton was too massive in size, even Qin Feng did not care about ousting the sea beasts, he only cared about securing as much loot as he could.

    Meanwhile, any sea beasts that would dare to plunder from Qin Feng would definitely be served with a sh from his saber, and it would be an instant death for the sea beast.

    Swoosh!

    The Glutton finally sank into the ocean, and even with Qin Feng¡¯s powerful capabilities, he was reluctant to battle against the sea beasts in the ocean.

    Yu Yangtao flew up, and Qin Feng also hovered in the air with his blue me wings as he gazed upon the sunken Glutton and paused in silence.

    ¡°This is so unfortunate, the sea beasts have benefited from the lucky catch, perhaps after this, in about one to two years, there will be the appearance of a new batch of beast emperors and beast empresses!¡±

    After all, the flesh of the Glutton was definitely a nourishing fuel!

    However, why would Qin Feng let the others benefit from his effort?

    ¡°Let¡¯s not give them what they want, even if we have to destroy it!¡±

    ¡°How do we destroy it?¡± Yu Yangtao shook his head, it would most probably take a long time to destroy the massively sized Glutton!

    But Qin Feng was suddenly struck by an idea, fiery passion erupted from his eyes.

    ¡°How could I forget about this!¡±

    With an idea in mind, Qin Feng¡¯s body immediately sank into an array of horrifying dark glow.

    The dark lights were constantly expanding.

    Qin Feng was shrouded by hundreds of billions of dark runes!

    Yu Yangtao was struck dumb as he looked at Qin Feng, he had to avoid the horrifying dark runes that were being channelled. He stood at about a hundred meters away from Qin Feng so that he would not be affected by the intimidating presence of the runes.

    Qin Feng was still expanding the presence of his dark runes into the seabed to cover the skull of the Glutton.

    It was then extended to its spine, four tiny limbs, and its giant tail.

    The stretch of dark light was about a thousand meters in length!

    A momentter, the entire body of the Glutton was shrouded by a bizarre and unusual energy!

    All of a sudden, the sinking body of the Glutton that had sunk for more than ten meters was instantly held still. Under the deceit of the massive ocean spray, even Yu Yangtao was unable to differentiate whether his eyes were deceiving him.

    The next moment, an array of frightening and intimidating aura exploded.

    All of a sudden, a horrifying giant fish head pierced through the waters and surfaced on the ocean.

    The eyes of the giant fish head were still bleeding, it had already lost its skull which was only left with a giant opening. Although it had only died for several hours, the blood that was shrouded by the dark light had turned into a dark burgundy colour, and it was even exuding the smell of a decayed dead body.

    ¡°Roar!!!¡±

    The Glutton opened its mouth wide and roared.

    Then, it began to move its head and tail and instantly shook off the surrounding beasts that were swarming around to consume its dead body. It charged around violently and rammed over those beasts, all of those creatures were then torn apart by its sharp teeth!

    The mighty and ruthless Glutton had reappeared.

    Qin Feng took out a giant bone from his spatial rune equipment and tossed it back down to cover up the skull of the Glutton, he then leaped down and stood on top of it.

    At that moment, the Glutton was no longer a wild sea beast, and it was only a dead puppet that was controlled by Qin Feng!

    That was right, Qin Feng had used such a method to recruit another valiant soldier for himself.

    Of course, he would then be unable to retrieve flesh from the Glutton¡¯s body, as it was already corroded by the dark runes. For humans, it was poisonous and unclean, and it would also decay along with time.

    However, Qin Feng did not care about that as he was unable to obtain it for himself either.

    ¡°Kill them!¡±

    Under the control of Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness, the gigantic body of the Glutton began to move, with every bite, sea beasts in the surroundings were being crushed like little children.

    All of a sudden, the surrounding had been turned into a sea of blood!

    The chaotic scenested for two hours before returning to peace, Yu Yangtao who was in the air while standing on a fish bone from the Glutton was struck dumb by the scene.

    ¡°Dark puppeteering, why did I not think of that, but... Qin Feng, if you were to tell me you would be able to rule the entire Abyssal Ocean, I would believe it!¡± Yu Yangtao was at a loss for words to describe Qin Feng¡¯s powerful capabilities.

    ¡°The body of the Glutton is too big, and my consciousness is falling low, find the right direction and let¡¯s take our reversed route back!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s head back first!¡±

    Yu Yangtao agreed to it, after all, as he had spent years roaming the ocean, he would just need to take a look at the time on hismunicator and the position of the sun to identify the direction to travel the oceans.

    Qin Feng controlled the Glutton and headed toward the identified direction.

 Chapter 673 - B-tier!

    <h4>Chapter 673: B-tier!</h4>

    When Qin Feng said that he could not control the Glutton Leviathan for long, you better believe him!

    Even though his conscious energy was indeed powerful, yet it was still not strong enough to control the Glutton Leviathan for too long a time¡ªthe damn thing was too enormous!

    Moreover, they did not know where exactly they were. The ocean was vast and enormous too; the Abyssal Ocean was not the entirety of the ocean. There were still a lot of areas in the ocean that humankind had not explored yet.

    After moving forward for half an hour, Qin Feng stopped for a breather¡ªhis conscious energy could not handle it anymore. His face was as pale as a sheet.

    Countless sea beasts were circting them and the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s lifeless body, surrounding them.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you should rest.¡± Yu Yangtao said.

    It had been close to twenty hours since theyst got any rest.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Okay, I will. You should rest too.¡±

    Although Qin Feng said that he was going to rest, he still released dark runes to conceal the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s body. Thankfully, the Glutton Leviathan was a dark-type sea beast, saving him a lot of effort in concealing it.

    Then, Qin Feng sat down in a lotus position.

    ¡®Although I have a C9-tier emperor level conscious energy, controlling this A-tier beast for half an hour is already the peak of my limits. The Glutton Leviathan is too huge!¡¯

    The gap in between the power of him and that of the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s was too great. Qin Feng could finally feel this by observing his totally dried up conscious energy.

    Right now, there were only two ways to resolve their current predicament.

    One, they could just abandon the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s body and move on. However, they could not find out where they were at the moment after travelling for half an hour. And without the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s terrifying presence to scare away the sea beasts, they could get swarmed as soon as they make the first step.

    Two, he could raise his power and ascend to B-tier. If he did that, Qin Feng might acquire enough conscious energy to continue controlling the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s corpse.

    Qin Feng decided to go for the second option.

    Thus, without hesitation, he took out the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s crystal core. This thing was about a meter¡¯s length and contained a lot of runes. The amount of runes in the crystal core was almost as plentiful as the ones he found in the Hell Stone.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng raised the crystal core and started to absorb it.

    Then, ck energy started to leak out of it and flow into Qin Feng¡¯s hands. Then, it went to his arms, shoulders, neck and finally to his head.

    A ck vortex was formed in between his brows.

    In less than ten minutes, Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy had all been recovered.

    Not only that, his conscious energy kept on increasing.

    Yu Yangtao, who was resting next to him, suddenly sat up as he felt a terrifying presence near him.

    ¡®Again! It¡¯s this feeling again!¡¯ Yu Yangtao felt as though Qin Feng had morphed into a humanoid ultra beast¡ªif he wanted to, he could open his mouth and bite him in half.

    Although it was indeed quite easy for Qin Feng to kill him if he wanted¡ªit would be as easy as stomping on an ant, Yu Yangtao knew Qin Feng was not going to do that.

    Nheless, Yu Yangtao could not help but to be wary around him¡ªmuch like how any living being would be wary around a predator that was on a higher level of the food chain.

    All Yu Yangtao could do was stare at Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, the crystal core was now shrinking to ny centimeters¡¯ in length while the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s body was experiencing a huge change too.

    Although the dark runes had tainted its flesh, the thing still had a lot of powerful flesh and blood in it. The fact that it could take on the undead puppets for so long meant that it had a really sturdy hide too.

    And now, as Qin Feng was absorbing it, the hide¡¯s color started to turn into that of grey. And then, when ocean tides crashed on the leviathan¡¯s body, the hide disintegrated and broke down into pieces!

    Its flesh and blood too started to dry up before turning into ckened ash.

    Qin Feng took the whole day¡ªfrom sunrise to sunset toplete the absorption process.

    Finally, he could feel that every single cell in his body was satiated.

    Booom!!

    He could feel a surge of power flowing in his body and then... he was now a B-tier! Finally, after having his internal energy reaching B-tier for so long, Qin Feng¡¯s physical body too had caught up to it. Now, he was a full-fledged B-tier ability user!

    A powerful, dominating presence leaked out of his body, overwhelming Yu Yangtao.

    ¡®B-tier?! Wait, this feeling... it¡¯s not just any mere B-tier... It¡¯s a prodigious B-tier?¡¯ Yu Yangtao thought to himself in surprise.

    Qin Feng¡¯s great power was quite apparent to Yu Yangtao right now. It seemed like his powerful presence was announcing it loudly straight to his face.

    And that was not the end of it.

    The crystal core had been shrunk to nearly ten centimeters in length.... and then...

    Crack!

    A crack split open on the crystal core before being crushed to pieces in Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy right now was so powerful that it had reached a new height. He felt as though he could use his newfound powers to control almost anything.

    Five minutester, Qin Feng opened his eyes¡ªthey were a pair of obsidian, pitch-ck eyes, as though they each contained a bottomless abyss in them.

    ¡°Phew!¡± Qin Feng breathed out a sigh of satisfaction, like he had eaten a good meal. Then, he blinked his eyes and concealed his dominating presence with his dark runes. Despite having his powers concealed, it was still clear as day that the young man was now a B-tier ability user!

    ¡°Congrattions, Sir... err, I mean, Qin Feng!¡±

    Yu Yangtao almost called Qin Feng a ¡°sir¡± before realizing that it might be a little too early and abhorrent for him to change his attitude toward Qin Feng right now. Nheless, it was also quite ufortable for him to just call Qin Feng by his name too.

    ¡°Thank you.¡±

    Qin Feng responded with a smile. He did not think thating to the Abyssal Ocean would result in such a great haul.

    After giving the surrounding area a scan, Qin Feng saw that the Glutton Leviathan had now turned into a massive pile of fish skeleton. All its flesh, blood and hide were now gone.

    ¡°Looks like we don¡¯t need to worry about the smell anymore!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Yeah, but its fangs are still very sharp. With it on our side, we don¡¯t need to worry about fighting against anything.¡±

    It was true. The Glutton puppet looked even scarier than before too.

    The beast¡¯s head was like a massive fish skull, with its sharp, terrifying teeth¡ªteeth that could cut and crush anything that stood in its way. When it was enveloped by dark runes, the white skeleton looked as though they had been painted ck.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng fired up his conscious energy and ordered the Glutton puppet to keep on moving.

 Chapter 674 - Powerful Underling

    <h4>Chapter 674: Powerful Underling</h4>

    Regardless, the way back home was still not going to be that easy. It was not just because of how perilous the Abyssal Ocean was but also other factors of risk one would expect travelling in the ocean.

    As they were moving forward, suddenly everything around them turned dark. Then, as winds blew violently, rain started to pour down from the sky.

    It was a storm!

    During the storm, Qin Feng and Yu Yangtao quickly hid in the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s gigantic skull. They could feel, again, just how huge the Glutton Leviathan was while also witnessing just how destructive a storm could be in the ocean.

    Right now, Qin Feng had only one option and that was to have the Glutton puppet dive deep into the sea and slowly move forward underwater. Yet, when he did that, they found an underwater rift. They were really close to being sucked into the rift.

    And... as they were trying to navigate around the thing, an A-tier sea beast appeared from within the rift.

    Qin Feng did not opt to fight with the A-tier sea beast. Instead, he ordered the Glutton puppet to flee, with them hiding inside its skull.

    From the first day Qin Feng was announced missing, he had spent the first day taking on the Glutton Leviathan, and then spent the next two days travelling on the ocean with Yu Yangtao before finally getting out of Abyssal Ocean.

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator finally received signals from the shore. There were a lot of messages and voicemails¡ªmost of them from He Jia.

    Since everyone reassured her that there was no way Qin Feng was dead, He Jia kept on with her efforts in trying to get in contact with him. Nheless, the amount of messages that she sent to him on the third day was much lesser than the days before.

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep!¡±

    He Jia was calling Qin Feng¡¯s number again. This time, hermunicator was not giving her a message saying that it could not connect to Qin Feng¡¯smunicator; instead, it was the sound that it had connected and was waiting for him to pick up.

    Then, she could hear a click from the other side. And then, a familiar face showed up on hermunicator¡¯s virtual screen.

    ¡°Hey, Assistant He!¡± Qin Feng nodded to He Jia.

    ¡°Governor Qin! You¡¯re alive!¡± He Jia was so excited that she almost cried out in joy.

    Qin Feng nodded again. ¡°Yeap. I¡¯m alive and well!¡±

    ¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean anything ill. I meant... I¡¯m so happy to see that you¡¯re alive! Are you hurt? Where are you right now?¡±

    He Jia threw a series of questions at Qin Feng before calming down and looking at Qin Feng.

    It had already been three days since theyst met and Qin Feng¡¯s skin seemed to have darkened a little from bathing under the sun. His clothes were still very neat and not torn or damaged at all.

    He Jia did not know that Qin Feng had the Sacred Armor on him; so, it was not possible for his clothes to endure any damage. And Qin Feng did not seem to be hurt or wounded too.

    ¡°I¡¯m now out of the Abyssal Ocean. As such, I should be able toe back to the dock soon. If it¡¯s possible, could you book a dock for me so that I coulde back in secret? I want to keep a low profile so that I would not cause a scene.¡±

    ¡°Ah! Is there something wrong?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s just say that I¡¯ve brought a trophy. You¡¯ll see soon enough. Alright, I¡¯m hanging up. I¡¯ve been away for several days now so I need to get in contact with my friends and underlings too.¡±

    ¡°Ah, alright. See youter, Governor Qin!¡±

    He Jia hung up before she was able to get her answers. However, it was certain that Qin Feng wasing back from the waters. As such, she went straight to the port.

    After hanging up, Qin Feng had contacted other people too.

    The first one was Bai Li.

    ¡°Oh, Hubby~ you¡¯re back! You look well!¡±

    ¡°Oh, am I not allowed to call if I¡¯m not doing well?¡±

    ¡°Teehee! Well, if you call me, I can teleport straight to your side. So, do you miss me? You¡¯re missing me, right? Hmm Hmm~ I knew it. You must be missing me. You¡¯re so clingy!¡±

    ¡°Okay, Okay! I do miss you!¡± Qin Feng smiled.

    ¡°Oh well, of course you do. So, do you want me to go to you right away?¡±

    ¡°I have an ability user with me at the moment. Perhaps we should meet at night instead.¡±

    ¡°Alright! And... I miss you too!¡±

    Hehe, she was still a cute vixen.

    ...

    ¡°Hey, Zhou Hao! It¡¯s me!¡±

    ¡°Haha, Qin Feng! You¡¯re back? I knew it. You¡¯re not going to die that easily. It¡¯s already like a norm for you to just go missing for a day or two!¡±

    ¡°Haha! How¡¯s the organization?¡±

    ¡°Nothing much happened. A few underground groups heard about you going missing and tried toe messing with us. They were all taken care of by our little Miss Bai.¡±

    ¡°Okay, got it! I¡¯ll hang up now. I¡¯ve got to speak to the others too.¡±

    ...

    ¡°Governor, good to have you back. The East Sea City¡¯s business is going well. So, should we resume the n?¡±

    ¡°Sure, go ahead. Have Guo Guan bring some men over. Oh, and bring in some techs too. Especially the one with Bio-mechanics!¡±

    ¡°Certainly, Sir!¡±

    ...

    After contacting everyone, Qin Feng could finally give it a rest. Meanwhile, Yu Yangtao too was contacting his underlings. After ending his call, his face turned really grim!

    During the time when he was missing, his entire organization was thrown intoplete disarray. In fact, the organization was now taken apart by his underlings who took a lot of the organization¡¯s money and had run away. Many ability users that he had crossed before were nowughing behind his back, and attempted to sabotage his organization further.

    His entire legacy was nowpletely ruined, leaving only 1% of its former glory!

    After ending his call, Yu Yangtao looked at Qin Feng. He recalled that they had a lot of rune equipment in his dimension pockets... and those great amounts of the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s flesh and blood.

    Perhaps things were not as dire as it appeared to be.

    Those flesh and blood alone were not only enough to restart his organization but also yielded a lot of earnings!

    Usually, managing a business required persistence and careful nning. It was the first time for Yu Yangtao to head out to hunt and thene back with a table-turning haul!

    After seeing Qin Feng hanging up, Yu Yangtao made a decision.

    ¡°So, you¡¯re expanding your business to East Sea City?¡±

    Qin Feng took a nce at Yu Yangtao and smiled. He could guess what he was thinking about.

    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m invested in doing business in the city. So, what¡¯s going on with you? You look horrible after making those calls.¡±

    ¡°Sigh. What else? There was news about me being dead. So, in just three days, my business... my entire organization is inplete ruins. Even many of my women had run away!¡±

    Qin Feng said, ¡°But you¡¯re still alive. You can still earn back what you lost.¡±

    ¡°Indeed. You know, I envy you. Your organization is so stable despite all those rumours.¡±

    ¡°If you want to, we¡¯d always wee you to join us.¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re... you¡¯re not kidding, right?¡±

    ¡°Of course I¡¯m not kidding!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha! Then... I¡¯ll be shameless for this once and apply to be under your employment then!¡±

    ¡°Oh, no. Please don¡¯t say that, Mr Yu. Your capability alone is enough to be the chief of operations of my branch in East Sea City!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha, don¡¯t you worry, President Qin! I¡¯ll not let you down!¡±

    The two men then extended their hands for a firm handshake. Qin Feng was calm but Yu Yangtao was extremely excited.

    Right now, this was different from the time with Fu Wenjue and He Liming. Those times, Qin Feng was merely working together with them. But this time! Yu Yangtao was going to be Qin Feng¡¯s first B-tier underling!

    This meant that Qin Feng¡¯s status and power right now had risen to a new height!

    ***

    East Sea Port.

    He Jia¡¯s hovercopter had arrived at high speed. She anxiously looked around and could not find Qin Feng anywhere yet.

    She let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that Qin Feng was not here yet, which meant that she was notte.

    Still, she could not help but feel nervous. Just when would this Governor Qin arrive?

    It was then, the port¡¯s rm started to screech like a wraith!

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep!!!¡±

    Then, He Jia¡¯smunicator showed a ck, terrifying warning.

    ¡°Warning: an A-tier beast emperor presence has been detected 20km away. Please retreat to safety!¡±

 Chapter 675 - A Shocking Return

    <h4>Chapter 675: A Shocking Return</h4>

    ¡°What?¡±

    He Jia did not anticipate something like this to happen. This was supposed to be the time when Qin Feng would be back. If he were to arrive at this time, would it not mean that Qin Feng would die once again?

    And then, He Jia remembered that Qin Feng said he was bringing a ¡°trophy¡± with him.

    ¡°Could it be...?¡±

    He Jia quickly contacted the port patrols and had them analyze just what kind of ultra beast that was closing in.

    Meanwhile, every single B-tier at the port was shocked as they quickly turned their deep-sea vessels back while preparing their cannons. They were now on the edge of their seats as they prepared to bombard whatever A-tier sea beast that appeared before them.

    All they needed to do was to hold out long enough for the Eastern Regent to arrive.

    He Jia was part of the authorities of East Sea City. Although she was just a C-tier, He Jia possessed great authority and ess. Thus, she was able to make use of the city¡¯s surveince camera and... she saw something that no other people was able to see¡ªsomething 20km away.

    It was a gigantic fish skeleton floating on the vast, blue sea.

    A freaky, horrifying fish skeleton! One that was so terrifying that when looked at, she could feel a creeping chill running down her spine.

    ¡°Wait. There¡¯s something on the top of the skull!¡±

    ¡°Zoom in!¡±

    ¡°Yes! There! Right there!¡±

    Not just He Jia, even the patrols had noticed it too.

    The two dots... they were... human beings!

    When He Jia saw this, she could not hold the excitement that she was feeling!

    ¡°It¡¯s Governor Qin! And the other one... that¡¯s Mr Yu who had also gone missing three days ago!¡±

    ¡°They¡¯re alive? Both of them?¡±

    ¡°Quickly! Stop the rm!¡±

    He Jia quickly ordered as the patrols sent out the message.

    It would take only ten minutes for any deep-sea vessel in this day¡¯s technology to traverse across twenty kilometers and Qin Feng was doing it while riding the Glutton Leviathan.

    5 minutester, the patrols could finally see the gigantic fish skeleton. After seeing it before their eyes, they could feel just how small they were.

    ¡°I am Commander Zhang Geng, from the East Sea City¡¯s Patrol Unit. Identify yourself!¡±

    Qin Feng, after detecting Zhang Geng¡¯s conscious energy, stopped the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s movement and had itpletely rise to the water surface.

    The giant fish skeleton was able to rise up really high. It was already now near the port so the seabed was not as deep as the deeper parts of the ocean. And the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s limbs were so huge that it even rose up from the waters, like four gigantic bone pirs!

    ¡°I am Qin Feng, the governor of North Sea State. I have the invitation to support East Sea City¡¯s efforts in fending off the sea beasts.¡±

    Yu Yangtao, however, yelled out loud, ¡°Commander Zhang! It¡¯s me! Yu Yangtao!¡±

    Zhang Geng was surprised to hear his voice. ¡°Mr Yu! I thought that you¡¯re devoured by the Glutton Leviathan!¡±

    News about the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s attack was spread everywhere in the city. They even had a list of the deceased out in the papers and Yu Yangtao was one of the deceased. Now that he thought about it, even Qin Feng¡¯s name was on the list.

    ¡°Hahaha! This is all thanks to President Qin! I¡¯m alive right now and it¡¯s all thanks to him!¡±

    It was apparent that Yu Yangtao was alive and well, and quite happy to return to East Sea City too.

    As Zhang Geng¡¯s boat got near to the Glutton Leviathan, the other patrol officers on the boat were overwhelmed by its presence, resulting in their faces turning as white as a sheet¡ªthey were all C-tiers.

    The Glutton Leviathan¡¯s skeleton was so enormous that it looked like a massive ind!

    Zhang Geng stopped everyone from moving forward and leaped onto the giant fish skeleton before walking toward Qin Feng and Yu Yangtao.

    ¡°So it is you two! Just what on earth happened back there? And what is this... thing?¡±

    Zhang Geng was a knowledgeable B-tier. So, after giving the monstrosity a look, he could kind of guess what was going on.

    ¡°So, is this Dark Puppeteering?¡±

    ¡°You guessed it right. This ultra beast is already dead. As such, I bought its skeleton back. I even made some modification to it so it will not pose any threat to anyone now.¡±

    ¡°Okay, I understand. I¡¯ll ask the patrols to abort the rm. Damn, you guys sure gave us a good scare!¡±

    Usually, when an A-tier ultra beast was attacking a city, they would need to call for the regent for help. Now that there was no problem, it was all good.

    Zhang Geng quickly stopped the rm, without giving much exnation.

    The ability users on the docks were confused as to what was going on. However, He Jia was the first to board a boat, going straight to the sea.

    Meanwhile, Zhang Geng still had other questions.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard Miss He say that you two were devoured by the Glutton Leviathan. How are you still alive? How did you escape it?¡±

    Yu Yangtao could not wait to tell everyone how Qin Feng defeated the beast emperor. However, he stopped at thest moment and looked at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng nodded and smiled. He was alright with the news getting out.

    Sometimes, it was better to not hide one¡¯s real power. In fact, when you have gotten so powerful, it was difficult to hide it for a long period of time anyway.

    ¡°Ahem. Commander, so what do you think of this puppet that we¡¯re standing on?¡± Yu Yangtao forced a calm demeanor despite being very excited.

    Zhang Geng was stunned for a second before asking, ¡°It¡¯s really powerful. From our analysis, this thing is at least an A-tier beast emperor. Is this Governor Qin¡¯s trump card?¡±

    ¡°Haha! This isn¡¯t a trump card. This is the skeleton of the Glutton Leviathan!¡±

    ¡°Huh?! What?!!¡±

    Zhang Geng was shocked when he heard it.

    Meanwhile, the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s skeletal body was slowly nearing the port, appearing before countless B-tiers at the docks.

    Many people were on edge, preparing to fight if it were to attack.

    Even though it was dead, the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s presence was too terrifying!

    Creak Creak Creak....!

    Several cannons were now aimed at the Glutton Leviathan.

    ¡°Wait. Hold your fire!¡±

    ¡°Huh? There¡¯s someone on it!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s Commander Zhang! And Yu Yangtao...? There¡¯s another guy too!¡±

    ¡°Holy sh*t! Is this Dark Puppeteering?¡±

    Everyone was in awe by what they were seeing, taking in breaths of surprise.

    Then, a small boat was seen speeding toward the Glutton Leviathan. And then, it did not dare to move closer when it was around one hundred meters away from it.

    ¡°Assistant He! Hi!!!¡± Qin Feng greeted He Jia as soon as he saw her.

    ¡°Governor Qin! Is this... Is this the Glutton Leviathan?¡±

    He Jia felt that she could pass out right away from the shock!

    Then, as Qin Feng rode the Glutton Leviathan and went closer and closer to the port, more and more people saw it and spread the news far and wide.

    One of the top ten most fearsome beasts was now dead?

    In an instant, everyone was overwhelmed by this shocking news, unable to respond. Then, they recalled the astronomical amount of money one would get from killing this thing...!!

 Chapter 676 - Astronomical Bounty

    <h4>Chapter 676: Astronomical Bounty</h4>

    ¡°Abyssal Ocean Bounty: Glutton Leviathan, 500 billion credits¡±

    Yes, that was right. The overlord that was ravaging the Abyssal Ocean¡ªthe Glutton Leviathan was worth 500 billion power credits!

    The Eastern Region¡¯s regent¡ªTung Yang had put it on bounty for many years so that the A-tiers would work together to take it down. Regretfully, no one was up to the task.

    Of course, other than the Glutton Leviathan, there were many more terrifying beasts in the wild ocean: the Hundred-w, Devil Mountain, Siren Botchling and many more. These were all terrifying overlords of the Abyssal Ocean. It would cost East Sea City an astronomical amount of money to pay the ones who imed all of the bounties.

    Common folks had long thought that it was impossible for anyone to harm these monstrosities, let alone kill them!

    Yet now, someone was able to pull it off. Thus, the news spread quickly across East Sea City like wildfire. And of course, even Tung Yang had caught wind of this and stormed out of his office with joy!

    Tung Yang was as busy as Shang Han with his daily responsibilities to the Eastern Region. Even though he had a full entourage of secretaries to aid him with these boring paper works, there was still plenty of work that glued him to his desk.

    Still, Tung Yang was still quite different from Shang Han because he was getting frailer as he got older. As such, he had long forfeited in continuing on with training his abilities and enhancing his powers. He felt that there was no point in training further if he was going to die soon.

    That was why the most training he did was to maintain his powers. He spent most of his time handling the governance of Eastern Region.

    Tung Yang did not really have high hopes for Qin Feng. Sure, the boy was a prodigy and a good fighter. Still, the kid was from the Northern Region¡ªhe was never a part of the Eastern Region anyway. He spent so much money to get him here merely because he needed manpower.

    However, now... things were different. He had apletely different perception of Qin Feng now!

    This boy had proven that he was powerful... extremely powerful! So powerful that he was worthy of the title ¡°Champion¡±! And a champion would garner anyone¡¯s respect no matter where he went.

    To add more, Qin Feng had done something no one had ever done before! Not even those A-tiers could do the same!

    He Jia received Tung Yang¡¯s message almost instantaneously when the news got out.

    ¡°Governor Qin! Regent Tung has requested for you to meet him in the city. You havepleted this great feat and he wants to hold a feast to celebrate your glory!¡± He Jia told Qin Feng excitedly.

    Being a manager who was assigned as Qin Feng¡¯s navigator and assistant, He Jia too would be rewarded for Qin Feng¡¯s achievements.

    Qin Feng knew that after he had in the Glutton Leviathan, the entire geopolitics of East Sea City and the ecosystem of the Abyssal Ocean would change drastically. Hence, it was quite understandable that Tung Yang wanted to meet him.

    ¡°Certainly. But may I request that he wait for a moment. Just half a day will do. I need to settle the Glutton Leviathan first.¡±

    ¡°Oh, okay. I¡¯ll let the regent know.¡±

    Thus, He Jia got into contact with Tung Yang.

    ¡°Regent, Governor Qin said he will need half a day before meeting you. He said he needed to settle the Glutton Leviathan first. It seems that after bing his Undead Puppet, the beast can¡¯t be too far away from its conscious-bound master.¡±

    Not only that, the Glutton Leviathan was a sea beast. Without the aid of water, its bone structures could crack and fall apart onnd. However, if it remained in water, the creature was basically a formidable battleship.

    Tung Yang understood it right away after hearing Qin Feng¡¯s reason. Thus, he said, ¡°Sure, no problem. And tell him to not dismantle the Glutton Leviathan. This thing is invaluable to the city... to the whole Human Alliance! This thing could still fight¡ªfor us! Tell him I¡¯ll meet him myself in 2 hours¡¯ time.¡±

    ¡°Ah!¡± He Jia was surprised to hear that Tung Yang wasing to meet him instead. She anxiously nodded. ¡°Understood, Regent!¡±

    As the two of them were on a call, Qin Feng had already ordered the Glutton puppet to move toward the dock. The monster¡¯s presence was so powerful and terrifying that the onlookers felt a lingering terror creeping out from the depths of their souls when they looked at it.

    ¡°Gulp!¡±

    A C-tier gulped down his saliva as he looked at the gigantic beast moving to the dock from a deep-sea vessel. When the B-tier next to him saw it, despite knowing that it was already under the control of Dark Puppeteering, he still could not help but feel frightened.

    ¡°What are you waiting for? Move our vessel out of its way!¡±

    Perhaps he was too nervous witnessing the monster, the C-tier¡¯s hand shook as he tried to fiddle with the controls and identally pressed the fire trigger.

    Boom!

    A cannon shell was shot into the air beforending on the Glutton puppet¡¯s head.

    Of course, the head was quite enormous in size. The ce the cannon shellnded was about one hundred meters away from where Qin Feng and the others stood. Qin Feng did not even try to deflect the cannon shell and allowed it tond on Glutton puppet¡¯s head and then onto its teeth.

    Kabooom!!

    The cannon shell exploded.

    The loud explosion struck fear in every ability users¡¯ heart in the vicinity, almost stopping their hearts.

    ¡°What the hell? Who fired that shot?¡±

    ¡°Oh my gosh, what an idiot!¡±

    ¡°Is the guy nuts? They dare to taunt a beast emperor?¡±

    Everyone started to get nervous. This could end up in a bloodshed if the beast was provoked.

    When the smoke cleared, everyone was dumbstruck when they saw that there was not even scratch on the Glutton puppet¡¯s mouth.

    Meanwhile, the B-tier ability user climbed out of his deep-sea vessel and used his internal energy to announce his apology, ¡°I¡¯m deeply sorry! It was an unintended shot. My pilot was scared stiff so he pressed the wrong button! I¡¯m so so sorry for that!¡±

    He was so horrified that he would do anything to prove his innocence. Of course, that C-tier would probably be skinned alive too after this.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I understand!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m really really sorry...!!!¡±

    ¡°Like I said, I understand. Don¡¯t worry about it!¡±

    Afterforting the deep-sea vessel¡¯s ability users, Qin Feng decided to not have the Glutton puppet dock to the port anymore. Instead, he asked Zhang Geng to help him to arrange an open water area to ¡°park¡± the beast.

    This would benefit him and the Fengli Organization too because this would also allow Guo Guan bringing in people to remodel equipment to make use of the space as a temporary warehouse.

    Of course, Zhang Geng did not see any reason to refuse this request. As such, he helped Qin Feng to secure a ce right away. He was very quick in contacting the port¡¯s authorities and logistics, fearing that if he acted any slower he might offend Qin Feng.

    A short whileter, the now puppeteered Glutton Leviathan was now resting calmly at its own spot.

    Despite it not being anywhere near the port now, its presence was still quite powerful so no one dared to go near the area.

    Suddenly, a dimensional portal appeared in the sky. The Fengli Dweller then flew out of the portal, bringing Guo Guan and his men, and arge amount of materials, to East Sea City.

    Seeing that the aircraft had arrived, Qin Feng brought Yu Yangtao onboard Fengli Dweller. Seeing this, He Jia quickly informed Qin Feng that Tung Yang was going toe meet him soon.

    ¡°I see. Alright, noted. I will meet Regent Tungter. I¡¯ve got to handle a few matters at hand first. See you around.¡±

    ¡°Ah! Alright. We¡¯ll see youter, Governor Qin!¡±

    As she watched Qin Feng leave, He Jia felt that they seemed toe from twopletely different worlds.

    Qin Feng was a man destined to be respected by the public; while she... she was just a nobody.

    On Fengli Dweller, Qin Feng, of course, could not have known what He Jia had in her mind. He had a lot of people counting on him to move forward. This was his way of life¡ªto always look forward and move forward. Never look back! That was how you maintain your momentum and confidence in dealing with any predicament thrown at you in life.

    Right now, Qin Feng needed to introduce two important men to one another.

    ¡°Guo Guan, this is Yu Yangtao, a B-tier ability user. He¡¯s one of us now. From now onwards, he would help us in our business in East Sea City. I¡¯d like to make him the chief manager of the Fengli Organization branch in this!¡±

    ¡°Mr Yu, this is the manager of our Research and Development Division. He has great experience in research and developing products. All the products that would be sold in East Sea City would all be developed by him.¡±

 Chapter 677 - Tung Yangâ€™s Wishful Thought

    <h4>Chapter 677: Tung Yang¡¯s Wishful Thought</h4>

    ¡°Hi, Manager Yu!¡±

    ¡°Nice to meet you, Manager Guo!¡±

    Their strengths differed greatly but they treated each other with the utmost respect.

    inly speaking, Yu Yangtao¡¯s role was to deter rascals and troublemakers. His strength as a B-tier was enough to dissuade other corporations from targeting Fengli. He would be the guardian of this ce once Qin Feng had left East Sea City.

    As for Guo Guan, he was temporarily relocated here to work on research and development. Oncepleted, he would immediately return to Fengli City. Since there was no conflict of interest, the two of them could co-exist harmoniously.

    They shook hands and chatted for a while. Then Guo Guan led Yu Yangtao into a room.

    ¡°This is the room I have prepared for you. You must be exhausted after drifting on the sea for so many days. Take a warm bath and have some rest. We will catch up on workter on. Don¡¯t worry about it for now.¡±

    ¡°You are right. I am in such a mess right and could use some rest. Thank you for the hospitality.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s Sacred Armor was unscathed but Yu Yangtao¡¯s battle suit had been badly corroded. He was currently wearing only a vest made from B-tier beast king material.

    He did look a little out of ce wearing such an outfit at this time of the year.

    After he helped Yu Yangtao settle down, Guo Guan went to talk to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Is the consciousness maniptor ready?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Yes. It can be activated anytime.¡±

    ¡°Now would be a good time. Once done, we will retrofit the Glutton with bio-engineering.¡±

    ¡°Roger that.¡±

    Guo Guan and Qin Feng immediately got down to business.

    Previously, Qin Feng had controlled a lot of beast puppets during the opening of the Far Woond Rift at Beihua City.

    However, the undead puppet would continuously consume Qin Feng¡¯s conscious power. Once he withdrew his consciousness, the puppet would immediately turn into a wasted carcass and no longer be usable.

    Some dark ability users did work on how to preserve the corpse, such as using a coffin or other means to protect the corpse. However, Qin Feng did not need to and would not go into that route.

    As powerful as he was, studying those would just be a waste of time.

    Nevertheless, he sometimes found it hard to part ways with a decent puppet when one had been found.

    After the prodigy tournament, Qin Feng had obtained a lot of ancient literature from The Perished Lands. From the record, Qin Feng learned that the Soul Tribe had been practicing such a technique for centuries.

    It was an extra pleasant surprise.

    Qin Feng had been to Dusan in between but insectoids relied greatly on their numbers rather than individual strength. They were too fragile to be turned into a puppet.

    The Glutton Leviathan, on the other hand, was a perfect candidate.

    Thus, Qin Feng had requested that the Consciousness Maniptor be made three days ago. Guo Guan had abandoned all other tasks and focused solely on rushing on the prototype these past few days.

    Qin Feng first opened up the Glutton¡¯s skull. With a robotic arm, Guo Guan then dropped a ball of around five meters in diameter into it.

    The ball was decorated by silver streams that shed periodically. It had future technology written all over it. It hovered inside the head and reced the monster¡¯s brain. Qin Feng then infused his consciousness into it and kept his aura in it.

    Then, he cut off his consciousness but the undead Glutton did not copse. It held up perfectly.

    ¡°We made it!¡± Guo Guan was excited. Once passing the first step, Guo Guan could foresee another behemoth that was going to be born in his hands.

    ¡°Great! You may start retrofitting it now. I¡¯m going to go shower first. The regent of the east shore might be hereter.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President.¡±

    Indeed, Qin Feng would not need to worry about Guo Guan¡¯s enthusiasm in this. After he returned to the aircraft, Qin Feng first cleaned himself up and meditated for half an hour.

    Beep! Beep! Beep!

    He Jia, who had been waiting near the port, gave Qin Feng a call.

    Tung Yang had arrived. He was waiting inside the Garrison Hall.

    The Garrison Hall was considered a smaller branch of Certification Hall. Aptitude users could conveniently ept andplete a mission here without the need to travel all the way back to East Sea City.

    But the mission Qin Feng had collected was too grand for the Garrison Hall to process. Qin Feng did n to go to East Sea City initially.

    He walked out from his aircraft. Though he had just been here for a few days, almost everyone recognized him after what happened in the past two hours.

    ¡°Governor Qin, this way!¡± He Jia jogged toward him and led him into the Garrison Hall.

    On the first floor Inside the hall, many aptitude users had gathered and tacitly gave way to Qin Feng when they saw him. This allowed Qin Feng to ess the lift with little hassle.

    He took the lift to the sixth floor and a majestic meeting room appeared in front of him when the lift doors opened.

    A person was seen sitting inside the room. He stood up when the lift opened.

    ¡°Governor!¡±

    ¡°Regent!¡±

    They shook hands and sat on thefortable sofa.

    ¡°Thank you for your contribution to the east region. You will get your reward when submitting the mission report downstairster. I will then hold a celebration banquet back in East Sea City. After youplete the supporting mission six monthster, I will then award you an honorable badge.¡±

    Tung Yang had his wish. It was no doubtmendable that Qin Feng had immediately made an impact. If Qin Feng wished to leave now, Tung Yang would not have any reason to stop him. But Tung Yang clearly hoped to retain Qin Feng here so that he could hunt down more beasts. It would be best if Qin Feng could stay for at least another six months.

    Qin Feng, naturally, understood Tung Yang¡¯s intention. He answered, ¡°This is my duty. As for the banquet, I am not the kind that likes such fanfare. There¡¯s no need for publicity too. But worry not, I will certainly stay long enough to earn my badge of honor.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha! Great! You are really an admirable young man. I am truly astonished by your capability at such a young age. Let¡¯s be honest, how did you manage to kill the Glutton? I hope you can satisfy my curiosity.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s actually not as difficult as you think. All that I did was...¡± Qin Feng told Tung Yang the entire process.

    ¡°Sigh. It¡¯s easier for you to say. Not many could have done what you did.¡±

    If surviving ten hours inside the Glutton¡¯s body was as easy as Qin Feng said, then other A-tiers would not have died facing it.

    There must be some hidden secret in between. But Tung Yang knew he should not poke any further since Qin Feng did not mention it.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you now have control over the Glutton. What¡¯s your next step?¡±

    Qin Feng frowned and looked back at Tung Yang. ¡°What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°As you know, there are still a lot of ferocious beasts on our wanted list here on the east shore. Each hunt brings a lucrative reward!¡±

    Qin Feng was speechless. This Tung Yang wanted him to fight all of them?

    To be honest, Qin Feng was able to defeat the Glutton Leviathan purely based on luck. It so happened that Qin Feng¡¯s ability could protect him from the Glutton while also hurting it.

    It would be a different ending if the monster that appeared was not the Glutton Leviathan but another beast.

    Qin Fen is not invincible. Even though he had jumped three tiers into the B-tier now, he would still have to run the next time he faced an A-tier beast emperor on the list.

 Chapter 678 - Retrofit Glutton Leviathan

    <h4>Chapter 678: Retrofit Glutton Leviathan</h4>

    ¡°Regent Tung, that¡¯s beyond my capacity. After I finish tinkering with the Glutton, I will bring it and patrol around its original habitat. Other than collecting resources from its original habitat, I have no other current ns.¡±

    ¡°I see. That would do then.¡±

    What Qin Feng said had indirectly shut the door on Tung Yang. Thetter knew he should not push his luck and force the task into a neer¡¯s hand.

    Of course, the meeting still proceeded smoothly and ended on a joyful note half an hourter.

    ¡°Qin Feng, since you have just gotten back, I should not disturb you any longer. Get some good rest. I expect to see more from you.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s stomach cramped a little. ¡®He is still on it?¡¯

    ¡°Okay, I shouldn¡¯t be stalling you any further too. You must have a lot of work to attend to.¡±

    ¡°Please!¡±

    ¡°Please!¡±

    They took the elevator and descended together.

    A lot of B-tiers on the first floor naturally recognized Tung Yang.

    ¡°Good day, Regent!¡±

    ¡°Regent!¡±

    ¡°Good to see you here, Regent!¡±

    The people around greeted him enthusiastically. Tung Yang only nodded and did not stop his march. Even if these people wished to befriend him, they had to see whether Tung Yang was willing to do so. Apparently, he was in a rush and nobody dared to stop him from leaving.

    Tung Yang headed straight to the exit. He took out thebat hovercopter when he was on the clear, and only turned back to acknowledge Qin Feng who was just stepping out from the Garrison Hall.

    ¡°Alright, Qin Feng, I will see you when I see you. You should get back and rest.¡±

    ¡°Safe trip back, Regent.¡±

    ¡°Bye!¡±

    Tung Yang boarded the hovercopter and the vehicle disappeared from everybody¡¯s sight quickly.

    Qin Feng naturally became the center of attention after Tung Yang left.

    ¡°Who is this guy?¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t know him? He was the one riding on the Glutton¡¯s corpse just now.¡±

    ¡°What? He was that guy? The regent came all the way just to meet him?¡±

    ¡°If you are the one who killed the Glutton, the regent wille all the way to wee you too. The price on its head is 5 trillion!¡±

    Qin Feng submitted his missionpletion report to the counter amid the frenzied chatters in the crowd.

    Officially, the report must include the report as evidence. If somehow no recording was made, then at the very least there must be photo evidence of the corpse.

    But right now Qin Feng only had the Glutton¡¯s flesh in his spatial equipment. He did bring back the skeleton to be examined. But nobody had seen the Glutton alive before. How were they supposed to verify whether the bones did belong to the almighty Glutton Leviathan?

    So Tung Yang¡¯s visit was not entirely meaningless. His presence itself was a sign of approval to Qin Feng¡¯s mission.

    [Beep beep! The mission has beenpleted. The reward has been transferred to your ount.]

    Not long after, Qin Feng received the notification where 5 trillion had just been added to his ount.

    ¡°I would like to take a B-tier certification mission.¡± Qin Feng requested the mission after he confirmed the payment.

    ¡°Noted. We will apply for you now.¡±

    The mission to certify for B-tier was rtively simple. Qin Feng was only asked to kill twenty B-tier sea beasts. The time given was ample too. He had one whole month toplete the mission.

    The higher the tier, the greater the power gap between human and mutated beast. Toplete a certification mission alone was close to impossible.

    However, to Qin Feng, this was just a piece of cake.

    Qin Feng returned to his aircraft after epting the mission and could finally have a good sleep.

    ***

    When night fell, moonbeams prated the aircraft window and imbued Qin Feng¡¯s gorgeous bedroom. This was when a silver gleam began to appear in the middle of the room. A rift opened up and a gorgeousdy walked out from it as if an angel had just descended.

    Bai Li pouted when she saw that Qin Feng was fast asleep but did not wake him up. She tiptoed to the other side of the bed andy right next to Qin Feng.

    In the dark, Qin Feng opened his eyes and drew Bai Li closer to his chest.

    ¡°Hihi!¡± Bai Li smiled and yawned. She gradually fell asleep right next to her master.

    Their understanding went beyond words. Their minds were connected ever since they signed the pact no matter how far apart they were. Sometimes, it was thepany that they needed the most.

    Qin Feng woke up in the afternoon the next day. Bai Li had already returned to Cinderst City when he woke up. He got out of his room and went straight to the restaurant to have his brunch.

    Coincidentally, he met Yu Yangtao halfway there.

    ¡°President, have you seen the Glutton?¡± Yu Yangtao was clearly excited.

    ¡°Not yet. I am on my way to have my breakfast.¡± Qin Feng looked at hismunicator. ¡°Wait, it¡¯s already lunchtime now. Do you want to join me?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± Yu Yangtao immediately agreed even though he already had his lunch. Yu Yangtao could not wait to ask Qin Feng all the questions that lingered in his mind.

    ¡°President, is our corporation technology so advanced? What¡¯s the technique used? I have never seen such a powerful tool.¡±

    ¡°You wouldn¡¯t know even if I exined it to you. Just be amazed by the final product. I may not be staying in the East Sea for long. The Glutton may very well be your warship in the future.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Yu Yangtao almost jumped up from his seat.

    Qin Fengughed. He ordered his meal, then looked out the window.

    The giant Glutton had changed beyond recognition now.

    Guo Guan had been perfecting the skeleton since the night before. It was still far from the finished product.

    The technique that descended from the Perished Land exceeded current technology by a huge margin. A lot of their theories went against current understanding.

    For instance, the machine that transformed the beast into an undead puppet required only its skeleton. It would first fortify the bone with a special material, then only embed the skeleton with artificial flesh. Ultimately, the skeleton would be turned into a bio-machine.

    Such man-made flesh was modified from beast materials. It was transparent and extremely durable. After synthesis, one cm thick would be strong enough to withstand the attack of an A-tier aptitude user once, not to mention its even greater resistance against B-tier.

    What Guo Guan was doing now was to construct a control room inside the Glutton. The remaining vacant space was then stuffed with this flesh.

    After a while, the new Glutton slowly took form. On the inside, there was a control room much like that in a deep-sea vessel. On the outside, the puppet was covered by numerousyers of the synthetic flesh and channels used for weapon instationter.

    In just a day, the new Glutton was even more daunting than when it was alive.

    Based on the outlook alone, one could tell that this bio-machine was going to be a deadly weapon.

    After all, the Glutton skeleton was at least a thousand-meter-long and three-hundred-meter-wide. This measurement was at least a hundred times the size of a normal vessel.

    An adult was probably only ten times bigger than a toddler. Such a behemoth would definitely strike fear into the heart.

    But what if one couldmand this behemoth? It would probably be the most exciting thing in this world, especially to an aptitude user living by the sea.

    That was exactly how Yu Yangtao was feeling right now.

    ¡°When will this ship bepleted? Are we going on another voyage soon?¡± Yu Yangtao could hardly wait any longer.

 Chapter 679 - A Third Hand

    <h4>Chapter 679: A Third Hand</h4>

    They did not have to wait long.

    The Glutton waspleted once its outer shell had been painted with another unique syntheticpound, whichbined dark runes with the hardest metal ability.

    The Glutton had been turned into a half-machine, half-monster behemoth.

    It might seem pretty awesome to an outsider, but only Yu Yangtao who was now a part of the organization knew just how terrifying the Glutton¡¯s value had be.

    The cost of retrofitting the Glutton was probably ten times the value of the Deep-sea Feng Li.

    Precisely, Qin Feng had spent 30 trillion on the Glutton. Nevertheless, he still had a profit since the reward for killing the Glutton was worth 50 trillion.

    Two dayster, Qin Feng and Yu Yangtao set sail on the Glutton.

    ¡°The Glutton is being controlled by my consciousness. The core of this bio-machine has beenpletely sealed. It would take an A-tier¡¯s strongest attack to destroy it, provided that the A-tier could first infiltrate the Glutton all the way into this control room,¡± Qin Feng began to exin the internal structure, ¡°Thus, I have absolute control over this machine. I am authorizing the second-tier control to you. You would have the authority to select deputy captains and other crew members, such as sailors and gunners.¡±

    ¡°Noted, President.¡± Yu Yangtao nodded modestly.

    There were currently more than a hundred C-tier gunners on board. Among them, five men were Yu Yangtao¡¯s old crew who did not betray him after he went missing. As for the few who had bolted with his belongings, Yu Yangtao had not been merciful. He was gone for a few days after returning to the port and came back with a bloody scent all over his body.

    Qin Feng paid little attention to the trivial details. He had arrived at the East Sea for six days now. Though there were some unexpected idents in between, he was still on course with his initial n. In fact, things had turned out far better than he originally anticipated.

    ¡°Set sail!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Yu Yangtao immediately connected with the Glutton through his consciousness. Under hismand, the beast moved responsively like a living creature.

    The Glutton¡¯s appearance was as daunting and majestic as ever.

    Soon, the behemoth had left the port and surfed toward the estuary.

    The other vessels stopped by and watched as the Glutton made its way into the open sea.

    Once it entered the sea, the Glutton exerted its aura and deterred all nearby sea beasts. This was in stark contrast to the first day Qin Feng had set sail.

    Yu Yangtao controlled the Glutton to head toward the sea area he first met Qin Feng.

    A flock of Devil Sharks had emerged there before. More importantly, that sea area was seldom explored. The area was probably at the perimeter of the Glutton¡¯s colony. Qin Feng had never expected to see the Glutton there.

    Thinking back, the Glutton Leviathan must have been startled by the vicious battle between Qin Feng and Chen Sha¡¯s crews. It made sense now why the Glutton had emerged suddenly and engulfed all of them.

    This time, Qin Feng feared no one boarding on a mammoth bio-machine.

    The giant Glutton swung its tail dexterously. The synthetic flesh made the beast look more like a living creature than a machine.

    Even its aura closely resembled it when it was alive.

    Of course, its inner space was inserted with numerous high-tech instruments. On the giant screen, the situations of the neighboring sea area were clearly on disy.

    Beep!

    Beep!

    Beep!

    Numerous beasts were detected on the radar. There were also several vessels about ten kilometers from them.

    But none of them seemed to have noticed the Glutton.

    ¡°Eh!? President, isn¡¯t that the Deep-sea Feng Li?¡± Guo Guan suddenly said.

    Since this was the Glutton¡¯s first voyage, Guo Guan had joined in too. Since the Glutton was extremely powerful, Guo Guan¡¯s safety was secured.

    ¡°What?¡± Qin Feng immediately scanned the vessel pointed out by Guo Guan and erged the disy.

    The slick-looking vessel was silver in color and was equipped with high-end instruments. It was indeed the Deep-sea Feng Li that Qin Feng had bought and modified.

    Qin Feng frowned and asked, ¡°What happened to the vessel when I was gone?¡±

    ¡°We left the scene immediately and didn¡¯t deal with the vessel. I believe Assistant He would know what happened to it.¡±

    ¡°Call He Jia over!¡±

    Though He Jia knew Qin Feng was not someone she could connect to easily, she decided to board the ship wishing that she could be in touch with Qin Feng more.

    He Jia was in the room soon after and was stunned when she saw the Deep-sea Feng Li on the monitor.

    ¡°The Deep-sea Feng Li? Why is it here?¡±

    ¡°That should be my line. By regtion, if our president had really fallen into the sea, the Deep-sea Feng Li should be listed under the East Sea and released for rental. But since our president has returned, why isn¡¯t there any exnation after so long?¡± Guo Guan questioned.

    Qin Feng had returned unharmed so his property should be handed back to him. Even if it was rented out, Qin Feng should at least im his fair share.

    ¡°But... But... The vessel was gone when you guys left. We thought you guys were the ones that have taken it back.¡±

    Guo Guan clearly disagreed. Though the Deep-sea Feng Li was not veryrge, it was not something that could easily be towed away by aircraft or spatial tunnel without being noticed.

    There was certainly something fishy going on.

    ¡°Great. Since none of you know what happened, then there must be a third hand involved in this.¡± Qin Feng said coldly and red at the Deep-sea Feng Li. ¡°I would like to see who dares to take advantage of me.¡±

    Apparently, someone must have stolen the vessel away when neither Guo Guan and He Jia was paying attention. That person even surfaced brazenly and hunted in this open sea using a stolen vessel.

    Of course, they had removed the Feng Li inscription on the vessel. But Qin Feng and his men would not mistake the only silver vessel in this region.

    ¡°Capture them once they surface.¡±

    ¡°Roger that, President.¡±

    The crew on the Deep-sea Feng Li did not know a cmity was about to befall them. They were still happily bombing a B3-tier sea beast. The beast was swiftly killed and they immediately hooked the body, then they dragged it up to the sea surface.

    ¡°Haha! Another one!¡±

    ¡°Brilliant!¡±

    ¡°This is such a great vessel!¡±

    Everyone on board was jubnt. A B-tier sea beast would earn them three hundred million.

    Though it might not be a lot, they could kill one every ten minutes. In one day, they could earn at least three billion. That would stack up to 1 trillion in one month.

    The wealth that a B-tier normally gained in one year, they could achieve within a month. No wonder the crew was highly enthused.

    Afterward, when the Deep-sea Feng Li finally surfaced, a B-tier aptitude user walked out from the hatchway.

 Chapter 680 - 100 Billion Rental Per Day

    <h4>Chapter 680: 100 Billion Rental Per Day</h4>

    The drone around immediately captured the person¡¯s face as soon as he came to light.

    It was the guy who had messed around with Qin Feng before trying to wrangle away the Ocean Phantom¡ªB-tier ability user Bai Wei.

    He walked out from the hatchway and severed the B-tier catch jubntly. He was, after all, a B-tier and immediately realized that something was not right.

    His consciousness had detected two drones above the water.

    Ssh!

    Two water arrows sprung out and smashed the two drones into pieces.

    Bai Wei then became more vignt. ¡°Come out and help me to split the parts. We might havepany!¡±

    Several men turned up from the hatchway. Among them was Sun Tianyuan, who was once Qin Feng¡¯s crewmate.

    They sped up the splitting process while remaining on high alert. They were currently exposed to great danger being outside of the vessel.

    As expected, a sturdy iron chain flew out from the dark.

    The chain was aimed to entangle the Deep-sea Feng Li.

    ¡°Great! I will show you the power of this vessel!¡±

    Bai Weiughed and stopped the chain with his consciousness.

    However, hundreds of chains appeared the next moment.

    ¡°What?¡±

    Bai Wei waspletely baffled. Even if this was an ambush from the Dark Coalition trying to force them to battle off the vessels, there were way too many chains!

    Besides, these chains came in a fan formation. This meant that the opponent¡¯s vessel was wayrger than the Deep-sea Feng Li.

    No matter how hard Bai Wei tried, he could not deflect all the iing chains. Not only that but the half-dissected beast and other C-tiers were being forced down into the water too.

    The chains were clearly made of high-tier materials.

    Some of the chains stacked together and began to pull. It seemed the opponent was ascending.

    ¡°How strong could they be? Bomb them at once!¡±

    Bai Wei bellowed. However, his crew did not seem to hear his order.

    Just as he wanted to yell at his men, he saw what had made them stupefied.

    A ck shell emerged from the sea surface. The shadow becamerger andrger until a horrendous beast was revealed in front of them.

    As the beast emerged, they could not see the other side of it, as if a mountain had just sprung up in front of them out of nowhere.

    If not because the behemoth was tied to chains that had assaulted them, Bai Wei would believe that they were currently being attacked by one of the most dangerous beasts in the Abyssal Ocean.

    Nevertheless, knowing that the ¡°thing¡± in front of them was not a beast did little to help their situation.

    The machine was an overwhelming titan in the sea. The Deep-sea Feng Li was timid inparison to it.

    ¡°Hi, Mr. Bai! I find it rather intriguing. Since when did the Deep-sea Feng Li be your property? You said you wanted to show me how powerful your vessel is?¡±

    Apparently, Bai Wei¡¯s words from earlier had been heard and the other side was mocking him with it.

    Bai Wei could not say anything to rebut.

    It was not difficult to fathom how powerful such a giant machine was. Though the Deep-sea Feng Li was not any random submarine, it was useless in front of the Glutton.

    ¡°Who... Who are you? Show your face!¡± Bai Wei could not stop trembling. Actually, he recognized the voice. As a B-tier ability user, his consciousness allowed him to sense a lot of things.

    Moreover, he had been stalking the Deep-sea Feng Li before and confronted Qin Feng. He would not have forgotten about Qin Feng¡¯s aura in just a few days.

    On the Glutton, a door opened up from the exterior of the bio-machine. Three people appeared out of it at the same time.

    They were Qin Feng, Yu Yangtao, and He Jia.

    Qin Feng red down at Bai Wei from a high point. The Deep-sea Feng Li had been dragged within 50 meters of the Glutton by the chains. Qin Feng could easily reach the vessel with a small jump.

    ¡°Qin Feng? How is that possible? Aren¡¯t you dead?¡± Bai Wei panicked because he had been caught red-handed.

    The news about Qin Feng¡¯s death was delivered to him by Sun Tianyuan.

    Thus, after He Jia had left, Bai Wei hijacked the Deep-sea Feng Li and killed the C-tier on board. He then sailed the vessel into the open sea. He even nned to dock in another board andpletely alter the vessel¡¯s outlook there.

    But the power source left inside the tank was still plenty. Bai Wei thought to put it into good use and began to hunt immediately. Because of how easy it was to capture prey; they had been doing it for five straight days. That was why none of them received the news that Qin Feng had returned three days ago.

    More so, Bai Wei was even gloating about the wealth left behind by Qin Feng. He wanted to sail all the way to the North Sea after this hunt and take over the Fengli Organization.

    To his surprise, not only was Qin Feng still alive but he had found him too. Bai Wei almost cried looking at the behemoth right in front of his face.

    ¡®What the hell is this?¡¯

    Qin Feng looked at Bai Wei¡¯s gloomy face and sneered, ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything to say now, Mr. Bai?¡±

    Bai Wei turned to Qin Feng. He remembered that Qin Feng was only a C8-tier ability user. Just as he contemted whether to take advantage of that, he was perplexed to see that Qin Feng was already a B-tier.

    Bai Wei cursed silently.

    It had only been six days. ¡®How has he jumped three levels in less than a week? Was he lying all this while?¡¯ This is pure absurdity.

    But one thing for sure, it was unwise for Bai Wei to provoke Qin Feng now.

    ¡°Governor Qin. President Qin. There must be a misunderstanding,¡± Bai Wei said shamelessly. He decided to act innocent. That was his only way out now.

    ¡°Oh? What kind of misunderstanding? How is that so when you are the one riding my vessel?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Bai Wei¡¯s face reddened. His sight quickly fell on He Jia.

    ¡°President Qin, I am not bluffing. I know the Deep-sea Feng Li would be listed for rent by the East Sea after you were wrongly reported as dead. You must know I have long set my eye on this vessel so I immediately rented it. I will fulfill the payment once we return to the port after this mission.¡±

    Qin Feng knew Bai Wei was trying to spin his way out of this. He yed along and sneered, ¡°Cut the trouble. You can pay me directly now.¡±

    ¡°That will work!¡± Bai Wei quickly nodded.

    Qin Feng continued, ¡°Alright. The charges would be 100 billion per day. The sum is 600 billion. Please transfer now.¡±

    ¡°What? 600 billion!? Are you kidding me!¡± Bai Wei was enraged.

    ¡°Too expensive? Then scram! I am taking it back now.¡± Qin Feng reprimanded Bai Wei.

 Chapter 681 - A Painful Lesson

    <h4>Chapter 681: A Painful Lesson</h4>

    Wandering without a vessel in the middle of the Abyssal Ocean was no different from suicide. Even a B-tier would not survive long in this merciless sea, let alone the C-tiers.

    Besides, Qin Feng¡¯s intention was only to teach Bai Wei a lesson. Thetter immediately sumbed once Qin Feng unleashed his imposing aura.

    Bai Wei gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Alright! I will pay!¡±

    Qin Feng revealed hismunicator. Bai Wei had no other choice but to pay up.

    ¡°Mr. Bai, do you still want to rent this vessel?¡±

    Bai Wei¡¯s face became even gloomier. He had to spend another 100 billion if he wished to continue using the vessel.

    Seeing that Bai Wei was clearly displeased, Qin Feng asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you unhappy with my organization¡¯s name?¡±

    Qin Feng pointed to the side of the vessel. The inscription there had been forcefully wiped off.

    Bai Wei naturally knew what happened. He was the one who scrapped the name off.

    He dared not retain the name after stealing the vessel. No matter how thick-faced he was, he would noty the evidence out so brazenly. Ultimately, he was still a member of the Human Alliance, not the Dark Coalition.

    Unfortunately, he was caught in the act by Qin Feng, witnessed by Yu Yangtao and He Jia. Bai Wei¡¯s face reddened. He was about to lose all his honor today.

    ¡°That¡¯s... President Qin, it was scraped one time we were battling the sea beasts.¡±

    ¡°Is that so? Speaking of, I believe you didn¡¯t pay any deposit when you rented my vessel. It cost me a fortune to upgrade and inscribe the vessel. To simplify things, let¡¯s fix the deposit at 500 billion. Since you are unable to keep the vessel in good shape, I will confiscate your deposit. In short, you still owe me another 500 billion.¡±

    Bai Wei¡¯s eyes were as wide as a cow¡¯s. He wanted to shred Qin Feng into pieces.

    ¡®How dare you ask for another 500 billion? How are you different from a robber?¡¯

    However, Bai Wei was unable to speak these words aloud. He grudgingly swallowed them back.

    He almost fainted out of rage.

    Yu Yangtao and He Jia were startled too as they looked at Qin Feng. They knew Qin Feng was furious and would certainly punish Bai Wei. They did not expect it to be this harsh.

    Qin Feng might be overdoing it and forcing Bai Wei to revolt.

    But then, perhaps that was exactly Qin Feng¡¯s intention. Qin Feng could have killed Bai Wei easily and rightfully so if thetter were to attack first. The things left behind in Bai Wei¡¯s spatial equipment were probably more valuable than the money Qin Feng charged him.

    Naturally, Bai Wei was aware of that fact too.

    Hence, he forced himself to calm down and said, ¡°President Qin, I will repair any damage done to the ship once I am back to the port. As for the deposit, I don¡¯t think it will be necessary. Show some mercy. Who knows we might switch positions in the future?¡±

    Though Bai Wei tried hard to hold down his anger, he was clearly gnashing his teeth.

    That made his plea sound more like a threat.

    ¡°Repair? I don¡¯t like used items anyway,¡± Qin Feng sneered, ¡°How about this? Since you like it so much, you can have it at a discounted price of 2 trillion. There¡¯s no need for the deposit as well.¡±

    Bai Wei was confused by Qin Feng¡¯s sudden generosity. Why was he willing to part way with such a powerful vessel?

    But when his sightnded on the machine under Qin Feng¡¯s feet, Bai Wei immediately understood. This unknown machine must be several times more powerful than the Deep-sea Feng Li. No wonder he would give up his old vessel this easily.

    ¡®Damn it! But if I do buy the Deep-sea Feng Li now, it will help me to earn back the money in less than two years. They can no longer use me of stealing the vessel too. This is an eptable trade.¡¯

    ¡°Alright, deal!¡± Bai Wei decided to buy the vessel despite costing him one-third of his wealth. At the very least, the vessel would help him find his footing in this ocean in the near future.

    Bai Wei immediately transferred 1.5 trillion to Qin Feng, then threw him a piece of spatial equipment that contained 50 million power credit in it.

    Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Alright. This vessel belongs to you from today onward. You can name it however you see fit. Just don¡¯t call it Deep-sea Feng Li.¡±

    Bai Wei murmured, ¡®I don¡¯t need you to remind me of that.¡¯

    ¡°I understand. President Qin, how about the chains...¡±

    ¡°Retract the chains.¡± Qin Feng waved his hand and the chains immediately loosened up and returned to the Glutton. Clearly, they were imbued with consciousness.

    ¡°See you again, Mr. Bai!¡±

    ¡°See you!¡± Though Bai Wei had a smile on his face, he was fuming inside.

    Qin Feng and his followers re-entered the Glutton. The opening on the wall twitched and turned back into a smooth surface like before.

    The Glutton descended quietly. The waves that resulted from its submergence sshed on Bai Wei that stood only 50 meters from it. Other C-tiers could not withstand the wave and were flipped into the water. The vessel with an unknown name now was being pushed back several hundred meters as well.

    It was like an ant against an elephant. The ¡°small¡± vessel was defenseless against such a giant machine.

    Inside the Glutton, Yu Yangtao asked, ¡°President, why did you sell him the vessel this easily? Didn¡¯t that bolster his strength in this ocean?¡±

    Though the Deep-sea Feng Li was no match to the Glutton, it was still better than the majority of other vessels. When Yu Yangtao was saved by Qin Feng, the Deep-sea Feng Li shot down the Sea Devil Vessel with only a singleser strike.

    Qin Feng exined, ¡°Now that you have understood the scale of our organization, don¡¯t you think we can invent and manufacture better vessels in the future?¡±

    ¡°Ah?¡± Yu Yangtao had never considered developing other vessel models after owning the Glutton. After all, no new vessel could surpass the Glutton¡ªthe pinnacle of technological marvel. But if it was designed to be rented out, Yu Yangtao remembered Guo Guan was indeed working on such a business at the moment.

    ¡°Deep-sea vessels in the future are definitely stronger than the old models. Though the Ocean Phantom is a solid machine, years of service must have taken a toll on it. A new vessel manufactured using Fengli¡¯s technology would only cost 1.5 trillion. The rental fees would only be around 20 million per day.¡±

    Guo Guanughed. ¡°In the end, others could use a newer machine with only 20 million, while Bai Wei needs about two years to regain the money he spent on the ancient submarine. If I ere him, I would definitely vomit blood.¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°This will teach him a lesson.¡±

    He Jia and Yu Yangtao could not help but sympathize with Bai Wei. Of course, there was more gloating than pitying.

    ¡°Okay. Let¡¯s get back to business. Continue to survey. We are about to enter the Glutton¡¯s territory.¡±

    ¡°Yes, President!¡±

    ¡°I will be around whenever you need me.¡±

    They immediately forgot about Bai Wei and went back to their respective positions.

    [Beep! A flock of Drill Marlin detected. Computing the poption count.]

    Beep! Calctionpleted: 817 Marlins detected.

    Qin Feng was excited when he saw the stats.

    ¡°It seems we can finish the mission in one day.¡±

 Chapter 682 - Rough Undercurrent

    <h4>Chapter 682: Rough Undercurrent</h4>

    Somewhere at sea, a piece of fresh meat was stuck into a metal hook on a chain and thrown overboard. Dozens of Drill Marlins smelled this delicious morsel and scrambled to chase after it.

    The Glutton, gargantuan yet hidden due to its dark runes, began to quickly move for the surface, faster than the Drill Marlins were actually known for.

    Gradually, they eventually reached the surface all the way from the deep ocean.

    The other end of the chain shifted as if it was being manipted by someone, someone who was shrouded in internal force that quickly went from the bottom of the ocean all the way to the surface.

    The moment they breached, a pair of ming wings exploded from this figure¡¯s back and carried him high into the sky, overlooking the waters below!

    Ding dong dong!

    The chain was pulled up and the bait left the sea!

    The Drill Marlins seemed to have sensed that something was wrong and one by one lept out from the sea. The sharp beak-like appendage at the end of their snouts were extremely sharp, as if they could pierce the heavens!

    p!

    A Drill Marlin jabbed into that piece of meat and dropped into the sea with its spoil.

    Other Drill Marlins swam over to enjoy this morsel.

    Since this moment, the originally calm sea was stirred into a whirlpool. Arge column of water gushed out and sent a marlin soaring into the air!

    Qin Feng pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber and his figure flickered briefly before appearing near the marlin and swinging his de!

    Pfft!

    A thin dark fuchsia line shed past it and what was left was the bisected corpse of a B3-tier ultra beast.

    Boom! Boom!

    Two more columns of water picked up a pair of marlins and sent them flying toward Qin Feng as he repeated the previous action.

    After three were killed in a row as the other Drill Marlins picked up on this nasty hunter. This time, without being swept up by a column of water, the group of marlins leapt out to stab at Qin Feng!

    Swish swish swish!

    The Drill Marlin fought in a manner thatplimented their dazzling speed. They were the deep sea¡¯s strongest assassins.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shook from the impact. Suddenly, he thought that he briefly heard the sound of his shield cracking just ever so slightly.

    He took a breath, not daring to take this lightly anymore and swiftly swung his weapon.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    sh sh sh!

    In the blink of an eye, twenty Drill Marlins were killed!

    Qin Feng turned off the monitoring system on hismunicator.

    The Glutton¡¯s cannons were prepared by now and they proceeded to unleash volleys that tore through the Drill Marlins.

    These fish were hardly Qin Feng¡¯s opponents.

    His power had reached B-tier. It was several times stronger than that of an A-tier aptitude user in their peakpared to before he was reborn.

    ¡°However, the further I go, the harder the next step bes!¡±

    He felt that even when hundreds of Drill Marlins had died and the energy they released was absorbed into his body, there was no sign of him getting stronger.

    Fortunately Qin Feng could feel that his cells had not yet reached their limit or else he would really feel helpless!

    After that bloody massacre wasplete, people moved out from the Glutton to collect the soils and Qin Feng returned inside the Glutton.

    The mystery of what used to be the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s territory was slowly being unraveled and while some horrible creatures of the deep continue to appear, the most important thing was the wealth of rare deep sea spirit herbs and extremely rare mineral deposits that were discovered.

    There was a lot of loot to be collected.

    ***

    Meanwhile, the news of the Glutton Leviathan being destroyed had been passed on. Everyone belonging to the Human Alliance in East Sea City and even the Dark Coalition¡¯s people, knew of the news and knew that this was an opportunity.

    ¡°The Glutton is dead. There won¡¯t be many ultra beasts approaching its territory which means that the ce should be safer. If that¡¯s the case, there¡¯s lots to be gained from exploring that area!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a lot of precious ancient coral at the edge of the area down there. If we can collect them we¡¯d surely be able to turn a profit!¡±

    ¡°Yeah but there¡¯s no such thing as a milk run!¡±

    However, a few dayster the deep-sea vessels that were manufactured by the Fengli Organization received a huge amount of praise. Many people ordered them, even some Dark Coalition members sent their orders incognito. The prospects of going out to sea had changed. Nobody could truly know who was who. There were even some reports of people saying that they ended up getting robbed by the Dark Coalition¡¯s people!

    Through this, East Sea City¡¯s deep-sea vessel scene hadpletely changed.

    But of course this was due to that hidden rough undercurrent sweeping through, invisible to the naked eye!

    Qin Feng¡¯s Fengli Organization¡¯s actions eventually got on some people¡¯s nerves!

    Such as the Public Capital Corporation!

    The corporation was a massive corporate body. Its top manager was an A-tier aptitude user!

    With how it was able to expand to its current scale in addition to its strength, suffice to say that the one at the helm of things was a true business-minded person. However, in the face of superior technology, no matter how amazing the advertising was, there was no way to get people to buy their products!

    Nobody was a fool!

    In a luxurious vi in East Sea City, a B-tier aptitude user stood in front of arge screen speaking respectfully to the man on the other side of it.

    This man looked to be 50 years old on the surface. Although he was well maintained, there were still some signs of aging on him.

    This could only mean that his true age was far older than what he looked like.

    Sheng Lian, an A3-tier ancient warrior, was about 120 years old and the patriarch of a famous and powerful family in the Dragon Capital.

    ¡°My lord, from what¡¯s been happening less and less people are caring about our lease. If this continues and the ships go obsolete, ships that cost hundreds of billions of dors...¡±

    This B-tier who was in charge of the Public Capital Corporation in East Sea City was Sheng Yufu!

    ¡°I¡¯ve truly underestimated this Qin Feng!¡± Sheng Lian held a steely expression but there was something dark in his eyes. Like a storm was brewing.

    ¡°Indeed, I don¡¯t know where he got his hands on such high-end technology, could he have mastered nar technology? Combined it with technology from other realms?¡±

    Sheng Lian furrowed his brow and a dark light shed in his eyes.

    ¡°It looks like Qin Feng has concealed a lot from us since the beginning!¡± He sneered.

    ¡°Huh?¡± Sheng Yufu did not understand what his patriarch meant.

    He had been stationed at East Sea City for quite some time. It was a lofty position, but he was not very strong. Suffice to say, he had a very easy-going job.

    He was not interested in the real internal affairs of Dragon Capital, all he did was count money every day.

    Sheng Lian did not try to hide it and said in a serious tone, ¡°During the Prodigy Tournament at the end of the year, Qin Feng stayed for half a month or so in the Perished Lands. After returning he sold a lot of tech. However, this tech is only used by a select few and that he even signed an agreement that would promulgate the entire science and tech world if he were to die!¡±

    Originally, he thought that this was meant to limit the smaller families. It soon turned out that this agreement would be his shackles!

    Sheng Lian had never expected that this little C-tier person would have today¡¯s achievements.

 Chapter 683 - Underwater Fissure

    <h4>Chapter 683: Underwater Fissure</h4>

    The Fengli Organization had been expanding rapidly with its inexhaustible funds and rapid technological improvements.

    If this continued on unrestricted, the Sheng family would suffer heavy losses!

    In this case, Sheng Yufu understood all of that.

    ¡°My Lord, in that case...¡± Sheng Yufu started to ask but his hands moved up to his neck area and wrung them, a murderous intent filled his eyes. However, Sheng Yufu furrowed his brow as if he had more concerns!

    ¡°Wait a little longer to see if Qin Feng is only nning to sell in East Sea City or if he has ns to expand to other ces!¡± Sheng Lian still had his hands full of other unrted issues.

    In East Sea City, while they said that they were losing money this was not necessarily true. Those deep-sea vessels had made their rounds and earned back what they expended, and their only issue was being expelled from the city.

    For the massive Sheng family, that did not impact it too greatly.

    However, it obviously greatly impacted Sheng Yufu.

    ¡°My Lord, I can see that Qin Feng has unchained ambitions! He¡¯s made a spatial-warping aircraft before! Now, if that thing should be the main focus of thepany, if something like that became popr, it¡¯ll directly threaten our line of business!¡±

    Sheng Lian red at Sheng Yufu and let out an aggravated ¡®Hmph!¡¯.

    Sheng Yufu¡¯s body shuddered and he stopped, not daring to speak.

    Sheng Lian said, ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re nning. It¡¯s already done, sell the vessels to the Ind Republic. They don¡¯t know about Qin Feng¡¯s technology, the news they receive is heavily censored. You¡¯ll definitely get them to buy. Yes it will be a huge loss! As for you, you¡¯re transferring to Guang City!¡±

    Guang City was the trading hub of the Public Capital Corporation. It was known for its vast oil reserves.

    Sheng Yufu nodded quickly and said cheerfully, ¡°Thank you, Second Great-Uncle¡±

    This time, he did not use the title of ¡®Lord¡¯ and referred to the other¡¯s seniority. Indeed the man would have been his second great-uncle if one looked at their family tree. Perhaps it was because of this rtionship that Sheng Yufu would get such treatment.

    Soon the Public Capital Corporation withdrew from East Sea City and the news was spread, causing people to be more alert.

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s keen business-mind moved quickly. He knew that causing such argepany to withdraw would bring many more problems to them and draw the interests of many people.

    Even if he was keen enough, this matter still was not his own choice to make. In the end, he still had to wait for Qin Feng¡¯smands.

    And Qin Feng was out in the Abyssal Ocean, unaware of such news.

    In the ocean, the Glutton hunted down whatever ultra beast came in its path. They never even stopped and went back for shore once. All of the beasts were swallowed, the water drained and their bodies harvested.

    Qin Feng stood in the main control room, his brow locked in a furrow.

    ¡®I¡¯ve been searching for ten days. The secret should be right here, but where is it?¡¯ He thought to himself.

    ording to his memory, March of 219 A.C., exactly at this time, the Abyssal Ocean erupted with a terrible force and caused many A-tiers to approach this stretch of the horrible ocean.

    It was here that they discovered a heavenly mountain.

    It rose out from the deep sea, pushing away sea water, and the surrounding coasts were suddenly assaulted by tsunamis.

    By the time the aptitude users arrived they learned that this was the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s own territory. The Glutton ate anyone that approached the area and eventually ended up consuming half of the mountain and evolved into a beast deity ultra beast.

    As such, since Qin Feng had already killed the Glutton, that meant that this divine mountain was going to be a handy thing to obtain.However, they had scoured the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s territory and he found nothing!

    ¡®Did I get the time wrong? Or is it that this event needed the Glutton Leviathan to trigger? If it¡¯s thetter then I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ve wasted a resource!¡±

    He had plenty of theories in his mind but he did not say them out loud.

    ¡°President, our storage is full. Should we head back to port for repairs?¡±

    They had been out at sea for ten days, and not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s support mission had expired!

    He remained silent for a few moments before finally saying, ¡°Let¡¯s return!¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Guo Guan spread the order down and the Glutton quickly made its return voyage!

    Qin Feng did this because he considered Guo Guan as a researcher and should stay behind in East Sea City for research and development. Then there was He Jia, that official from the Human Alliance. Sure she was just an assistant, but she was the secretary of the Eastern Regent. Who would care if she followed him?

    He Jia also had some regrets. Qin Feng hunted down a lot of ultra beasts and did things that needed more than ten B-tier aptitude users to aplish together. On his first day out at sea he killed the Glutton Leviathan and He Jia hoped that Qin Feng could do more.

    For example, hunt down the other ultra beasts on the list.

    It was a pity that Qin Feng did not seem to be bothered with that at all!

    As such, it seemed that his support mission hade to its end.

    ***

    Just three hours after the Glutton returned from its voyage, a bolt of lightning slid out from the bottom of the ocean where the Glutton¡¯s old territory was.

    This bolt of lightning was dazzling to look at and bore with it silver runes!

    What nobody noticed was that once this rift appeared, there was no darkness on the other side but instead it showed a mirage-like image of some kind ofnd mass!

    It was like a mirror, lying tly at the bottom of the ocean and that piece ofnd drilled its way out bit by bit from the crack as it joined the deep ocean.

    This event was something that nobody could find an exnation for.

    It was not clear if it was either soil or some kind of energy crystal that began to violently gush out, causing changes within the ocean. For a while,the ocean floor was a soup of chaotic energy.

    Thisnd mass continued to gather and it seemed to be breaking apart the sea bed by thousands to tens of thousands of kilometers.

    The sea water was pushed aside and the sea beasts felt a sudden change in their environment. Some fled the area while some approached it. It had be a scene of pure chaos.

    As the sea was violently moved, waves gathered up and formed into a massive tsunami headed for East Sea City!

    Qin Feng waspletely oblivious to all of this. A few hours ago he had already stepped onto East Sea City¡¯s docks!

    As he got off the vessel, it happened to be sunset and the sky was painted with a magnificent shade of rose.

    ¡°Everyone, take a break. You can go into the city. After resting for a day we¡¯ll be heading out again!¡±

    ¡°Yes, President!¡±

    ¡°Oh and your bonus has been doubled!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s normally cid expression shifted a little.

    ¡°Hurrah, long live the President!¡±

    ¡°Thanks President!¡±

    The C-tiers hired to be the crew all raised their voices in cheer.

    Of course, all of these matters were handed to Yu Yangtao to deal with as Qin Feng went to the Garrison hall.

    ¡°Submitting the task to promote to a B-tier aptitude user!¡±

    He showed his mission¡¯s video.

    Within three minutes, the video was reviewed and the staff he was talking to solemnly handed a box over to him.

 Chapter 684 - Incoming Tsunami

    <h4>Chapter 684: Iing Tsunami</h4>

    ¡°Congrattions, Master Qin!¡±

    Qin Feng took out the B-tier¡¯s aptitude user¡¯s badge. It had a simple pattern and looked like your average aptitude user¡¯s badge.

    He pulled off his own badge and peeled off the sign on top of it and separated the badge itself from its patterned frame.

    The frame of his badge represented him as a governor and it was easily recognisable.

    After returning the C-tier aptitude user¡¯s badge, hey the B-tier badge into his frame before finally putting it on. This was the badge of a high-level aptitude user.

    S-tiers were rarely born. A-tiers were stuck with the ministry business along the borders but B-tiers, wherever they were, had authority.

    Of course the effect lessened when the front-line was mostlyposed of B-tiers.

    Any other ce, anyone would feel that they had the power to shift even the sky above them!

    ¡°End the support mission!¡± Qin Feng said again, wanting to end the task because killing the Glutton Leviathan was also on record. This time, his performance was about as good as his performance in the Dusan Basin!

    However, the funds provided were iparable considering the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s extremely high reward.

    ¡°Alright! Please wait!¡±

    Just as the staff member was handling it, an rm suddenly sounded.

    [A massive tsunami is on its way, the wave is estimated to be 50 meters tall. All aptitude users begin preparations. The protective shield has been activated!]

    [Bibeepbibi, sea beast wave is about to break out. Everyone please pay attention, all aptitude users below C-tier must evacuate as soon as possible!]

    [Warning! Warning!]

    Numerous prompts began to ring frantically.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body shuddered violently and he looked at one of the monitors in the Garrison Hall.

    The equipment here had arge range and there were countless drones surveying the area that had a signal range of at least 200 kilometers.

    Now, he could already see that massive iing tsunami!

    Tsunamis were different from water spouts. If a tsunami reached the shore it could affect up to hundreds of kilometers or thousands of kilometers ind and East Sea City might get submerged.

    And from the looks of it, this tsunami did not look like it was going to slow down anytime soon!

    ¡°M-master Qin, do you still want to cancel your support mission?¡± The staff member nervously asked in an increasingly trembling voice.

    She was only an E-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°No need, you should leave now!¡±

    ¡°Ah yes, thank you Sir! Thank you!¡±

    The staff member immediately packed up their things and disappeared into a back room.

    Qin Feng stepped out of the hall and everything seemed calm outside, not a single cloud in the horizon.

    However, everyone knew that the tsunami was going to reach them in less than ten minutes!

    At the coast, the water levels were dropping and the tide had abruptly retreated. Qin Feng knew that if they were toe back again, it would bring the horror of drowning everything!

    There was chaos everywhere with aptitude users yelling,

    ¡°Get the evacuating people into the hover cars! Hurry!¡±

    ¡°The protective cover is going to turn on at any time!¡±

    ¡°Water ability users, start hauling ass!¡±

    ¡°Group the vessels together before they get crushed by crashing into each other,e on!¡±

    Qin Feng quickly moved through the crowds as he approached the Glutton Leviathan.

    The staff on the Leviathan had left long ago and only two people were left behind for routine management. Qin Feng activated the first authority and shifted the Glutton in a horizontal line at the bay, as if the massive creature could intercept the huge tsunami.

    Qin Feng roared, ¡°Deep-sea vessels of the Fengli Organization gather here! Immediately!¡±

    The vessels that were gathered at the pier quickly mobilized and lined up behind the Leviathan.

    While he was busy, a white line appeared on the sea¡¯s horizon.

    Then, a tsunami that must have been 100 meters loomed in like a terrifying maw, ready to swallow people up at any time.

    The atmosphere was immediately filled with a thick amount of tension.

    Qin Feng let the two aptitude users operate the Glutton and quickly arrived outside.

    ¡°Activate the protective cover! Quickly!¡± Zhang Geng¡¯s voice spread through the dock, hoarse from all of his previous yelling.

    Woom!

    Then, the A-tier city-wide protective shield was activated.

    A huge translucent lid covered the people¡¯s heads!

    The range of this protective cover was about 2000 meters butpared to the tsunami which they could no longer see the edge of, this was nothing at all!

    Now the docks were like a reef and it must meet thising tide.

    This was the coastline. If the tsunami rushed past it, it would attract more ultra beasts to rush toward East Sea City and if it reached there the results would be disastrous!

    ¡°Water ability users get ready!¡±

    Zhang Geng stood on top of the Glutton as it was the Glutton which was going to be the first vessel to meet this tsunami. As such, many more water ability users stood on it as well.

    Qin Feng was standing here as well but nobody cared that there seemed to be one extra person among them.

    The tsunami got closer and closer until it filled their range of sight with only dark blue. As it covered the sunset, it made people feel that the color was a pitch ck. The color of despair.

    In the matter of a few seconds, the tsunami was right in front of them.

    Boom!

    The massive tsunami collided with the protective shielding

    The shield that could defend against A-tier ultra beasts began to dim after the initial impact.

    ¡°Now!¡±

    Zhang Geng roared.

    ¡°Torrent Shift!¡±

    ¡°Torrent Shift!¡±

    ¡°Torrent Shift!¡±

    Many of the other water ability users roared out as well.

    Eight of them were B-tier, including Zhang Geng and there were more than forty C-tiers present. They all activated their consciousness!

    Blue runes emitted from the bodies of these ability users and rushed toward the iing seawater that threatened to overwhelm and submerge them.

    These terrifying waves were immediately parted but there was still water behind them.

    Boom!

    Something violently crashed into the cover, it was a huge ck deep-sea vessel!

    That was obviously a vessel from the Public Capital Corporation.

    Although the Fengli Organization dominated the market, they did not manufacture theirs very quickly and there were still some of Public Capital¡¯s vessels still in use.

    After seeing this huge vessel, all the water ability users fell silent. They knew that there were countless aptitude users still out at sea and there was no way ofing back. The unprecedented terror that was the tsunami would sink them.

    ¡°Move away!¡±

    Zhang Geng shouted.

    The vessel had already moved out of the way just as the sound came.

    Zhang Geng felt a huge consciousness!

    He unconsciously turned his head and saw Qin Feng¡¯s grim face and was shocked to see the dark blue runes emitting from his body.

    Qin Feng was using water runes.

    The Glutton was an aquatic ultra beast. It did not just have dark runes in its crystal core, it had water runes as well. It was an A-tier ultra beast that reached beast king level and borderline beast deity level. One could only imagine how many water runes it had.

    Back in Cinderst City, Qin Feng had absorbed some earth runes, but that was not enough to be used.

 Chapter 685 - When the Vision Appears, There Must be Treasure

    <h4>Chapter 685: When the Vision Appears, There Must be Treasure</h4>

    The water elemental rune had be Qin Feng¡¯s diamond starglobe¡¯s third color.

    ¡°Torrent Shift!¡±

    Qin Feng diverted the water flow, using it to carry the newly-appeared submarine and preventing it from continuing to crash into the shield.

    Suddenly, something dangerous appeared behind it.

    ¡°Ah! A Devil Shark!¡± A C-tier aptitude user screamed.

    This was a B-tier sea beast from the deep sea. It had a powerfully destructive presence in the coastline, all of the C-tiers were going to die.

    This Devil Shark had experienced some damage earlier but it was not fatally wounded. Merely a flesh wound.

    It violently mmed itself into the side of the vessel before twisting its body, opening its maw and crunching down onto the deep-sea vessel¡¯s hull.

    The deep-sea vessel either no longer had power or everyone inside it had died and did not release their energy shield.

    As such, a chunk of it was ripped out by the Devil Shark.

    A few corpses began to float out into the sea and this scene enraged every aptitude user that saw it.

    Even though everyone in that submarine was dead, the aptitude users saw the sea beast snuff out those people¡¯s final hope and found that unforgivable.

    ¡°Kill that thing!¡± Zhang Geng yelled.

    It was at this moment when a beam of darkness pierced through the protective cover!

    It instantly enveloped the Devil Shark and when it started to thrash about it struggles gradually got weaker and weaker, its strength ebbing away as its flesh dissolved and all that remained was a skeleton.

    A Death Ray!

    ¡°Torrent Shift!¡± Qin Feng willed his consciousness and shifted his attention to move the Devil Shark¡¯s corpse away as well as the broken deep-sea vessel.

    The aptitude users were still simmering with rage as they grieved for those of the simr ilk that were lost!

    Nobody said anything as theirrade¡¯s corpses were also carried away by the water.

    Time trickled past by the minutes, by three minutes, these B-tier aptitude users were already drained of their reserves.

    ¡°The water level¡¯s already dropped, hang on! Just hang on!¡± Zhang Geng eximed.

    However, while the aptitude users could hang on, the protective shield no longer could.

    Crack!

    The sound of breaking ss could be heard and the entire protective shield began to fade away.

    There was still sea water at least 20 meters tall and mming down toward them!

    All of the aptitude users paled and immediately activated their abilities.

    ¡°Water Prison!¡±

    ¡°Water Prison!¡±

    ¡°Water Prison!¡±

    It obviously was not the first time for these ability users and naturally they understood that this was the most useful move!

    Water Prison was an ability originally meant to restrain other people, a watery sphere that locked down their opponents. This moment they decided to use this watery sphere on themselves!

    In this case, when the tsunami hit them they could meld into the sea water and this would prevent them from getting harmed.

    Qin Feng on the other hand had apletely different idea from the rest.

    ¡°Turn on the protective cover!¡±

    Qin Feng used his consciousness to manipte the Glutton and instantly opened a new protective cover.

    Whoom!

    The protective cover was activated and covered these aptitude users. As the water crashed down onto them it made a massive crashing noise.

    However, all this water was not enough to phase the Glutton.

    Bonk bonk!

    The Glutton¡¯s protective cover and its colors began to dim.

    It managed to prevent the wave from crashing onto them.

    Zhang Geng was taken aback but quickly reacted.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    The water ability users quickly dropped their Water Prison and began to use Torrent Shift.

    However, this Torrent Shift was not as effective because the entire pier has been submerged underwater!

    Without therge protective shield, it was only a matter of time before the pier was submerged. Fortunately the effects were not terribly huge. However, as the neatly arranged vessels were in disarray, it was at this moment that the sea beasts attacked!

    The aptitude users could not fight back! They were too close to other vessels. If they were to fire, they might identally hit the rest.

    Fortunately, at this time the water levels dropped again to 15 meters. The Glutton managed to put up resistance against the first wave and the deep-sea vessels were still staying afloat instead of colliding and being destroyed!

    The most critical moment had passed!

    ¡°Get ready for battle!¡±

    Zhang Geng roared out an order again.

    This time, the water levels had dropped and after the tide retreated there were more subsequent issues!

    Sea beasts had washed up ashore!

    Too many!

    With how spread out they were it was only a matter of time before they approached East Sea City!

    They had not received a notice yet and naturally did notpletely evacuate. There were those who had been washed up onto the wharf and were hunting down the ultra beasts that had reached that area.

    The ultra beasts wereing toward the Glutton. With the number of enemies iing it had be the front line!

    ¡°Quick! There are B-tier ultra beasts in there!¡±

    ¡°Everyone group up! Start killing!¡±

    B-tier ultra beasts required a group of B-tiers to take down. Many were nervous about such beasts and when any of them showed up it was bound to cause plenty of casualties.

    And now, there looked to be many B-tier ultra beasts iing!

    Qin Feng pulled out his Verdant Emperor Saber from his spatial rune equipment. He could not conceal his strength any longer at this moment, he knew what was going to happen in the future and had to finish this quickly!

    When the Verdant Emperor Saber appeared, the de alone was enough to draw the eyes of the B-tiers around him.

    He kicked off with Dragon Steps and immediately reached the side of a B-tier beast.

    Chop!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber burst out into a ten-foot long me, instantly severing the spine of the sea beast and almost chopping it in half!

    Before the B-tier beast was even enraged it had already died.

    Qin Feng did not drop his momentum, with a push forward he soared toward a deep-sea vessel. It was being attacked by arge octopus. The B-tier on top of it was entangled by it and was unable to fight back.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber cut down, slicing away multiple tentacles and scattering those still wriggling everywhere.

    ¡°Fire Dragon Technique!¡±

    Qin Feng used his Fire Dragon to annihte the sea beast!

    After that, he shot off toward another vessel like a cannonball.

    Ten in!

    Twenty in!

    Thirty...

    All of the powerful sea beasts were killed by Qin Feng.

    At this time, the aptitude users who were saying their goodbyes to friends and family stared at Qin Feng with amazement. With Qin Feng here, these ultra beasts could not do anything at all!

    ¡°Stop staring and clean up the rest!¡± Zhang Geng shouted out and continued to give orders!

    ¡°Quickly, release a drone and see if there¡¯s going to be a second tsunami!¡±

    ¡°How is East Sea City, do you need support?¡±

    ¡°Regent, the situation has been handled!¡±

    As soon as that was said, the originally dark sky was suddenly illuminated by a white light.

    Qin Feng stopped fighting for a moment and looked to the horizon.

    The beam of light soaring into the sky attracted everyone¡¯s attention.

    When this beam pierced through the clouds, not only East Sea City, but all of the coast cities would have seen it!

    ¡°It has appeared!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression began to shift.

 Chapter 686 - The Appearance of Tung Yang

    <h4>Chapter 686: The Appearance of Tung Yang</h4>

    The reason for Qin Feng to remain on the ocean was because of his search for the Divine Mountain, and upon his unexpected return, the Divine Mountain had then appeared!

    The intervals were just within several hours.

    However, it was highly unlikely that he would be the first to enjoy the feast!

    ¡°But I was the one who killed the Glutton, there should not be any other powerful ultra beasts around this Divine Mountain area, this is also an opportunity!¡±

    However, he was stuck with the sticky situation and he could not leave, after all, there were too many ultra beasts!

    There had to be a clean up for the ultra beasts.

    Qin Feng looked toward the ocean that the Glutton was sailing into, ocean waves were still washing up, and countless number of sea beasts were still crawling onto the beach. If they were not stopped, Qin Feng would then be restricted there!

    ¡°It seems like I have to first take care of the situation here!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his consciousness, his diamond starglobe began to spin, and countless numbers of dark runes were churning out.

    Boom!

    A pir of dark light exploded from Qin Feng¡¯s body and shot up to the sky!

    The dark runes extended up to the sky and quickly dispersed, it was like a formation of spirals that was slowly expanding, forming into countless numbers of pitch-ck clouds!

    They were stretching up to a thousand meters!

    The other B-tiers were unaware of Qin Feng¡¯s intention, but their attention toward the glow from the Divine Mountain was redirected back toward Qin Feng!

    ¡°Decaying Rain!¡±

    Rain drops began to fall from the dark clouds and rain down into the ocean, regardless of the capabilities of the ultra beasts, they were all contaminated by the dark runes.

    Ultra beasts that were lower tier had died instantly and turned into undead puppets. With only a singlemand from Qin Feng, the undead puppets began to open their mouths wide and bite onto the surrounding ultra beasts to consume them.

    As there were still dark runes in the ocean, sea beasts that were injured with bleeding wounds would be more easily contaminated by it.

    All of a sudden, it was a bloodbath in the ocean, followed by an unidentified number of decayed corpses.

    Badoom badoom!

    The sea beasts were enraged, and as Qin Feng looked toward the ocean that was turned into a chaotic mess, the scene had spread to a massive area!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng had already made a huge contribution. With the undead puppet sea beasts being stopped, it would serve as a blockage to prevent the other sea beasts from ramping into the area. From within, the aptitude users would be able to annihte any sea beasts that stepped onto the pier!

    In the eyes of the others, Qin Feng¡¯s image had spiked tremendously and he was almostparable with an A-tier!

    ¡°This person, Qin Feng, where is he from, how could he be so powerful?!¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t he just a B-tier? Why does he seem to be more powerful than an A-tier?¡±

    ¡°Even if the regent is here, the oue might not evene close to this!¡±

    ¡°Regent, he couldn¡¯t even... ah, Regent!¡±

    An aptitude user was about to shame the regent for his inability to handle the situation when the shadow of a person then appeared and stood above the waters, and the presence was unnoticed by anyone else!

    Surprisingly, it was Tung Yang himself!

    Tung Yang chuckled and continued, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, indeed, I am incapable of putting on such a massive scale massacre!¡±

    It might not be because of Tung Yang¡¯s capability, but it was his perception that deemed it to be unnecessary.

    The consumption of consciousness was too big. Most of the ultra beasts that appeared on the shore were merely C and D-tiers, B-tiers were rarely seen, therefore, it seemed to be an overkill!

    Swoosh!

    Tung Yang rode on a wave and arrived beside Qin Feng, then stepped onto the Glutton!

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°Regent Tung!¡± Qin Feng nodded, he was unsurprised by the arrival of his guest!

    From the massive destructive waves, one would assume that all of the crops and ntations of East Sea City would be drowned and devastated. However, as there were not many ultra beasts that had invaded the city, the aptitude users from the city were still capable of defending it.

    However, the pier was still a dangerous ce, and there might be another wave of iing impact!

    Furthermore, with the energy barrier being attacked, it would take some time for it to restart, and it was necessary for Tung Yang toe forward and provide his support.

    ¡°How could your Glutton survive and withstand such a massive wave!¡± Tung Yang looked toward Qin Feng¡¯s Glutton and noticed that its massive body was actually being attacked by a huge number of ultra beasts, but with its sturdy and rigid outer shell, it was impossible for lower tier sea beasts to cause any harm to it. As for the destruction from the higher tier sea beasts, the Glutton was able to restore the damaged part to its original structure with its synthetic memory cells.

    Indeed, such a deep-sea vessel was equipped with technologies that were way more advanced than the current standards!

    Qin Feng heard Tung Yang and was struck by the idea, he answered, ¡°Should be fine!¡±

    Tung Yang smiled and nodded. ¡°Well, then let¡¯s go!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Qin Feng was swift in his decision. He knew that Tung Yang realized his intention of releasing the Decaying Rain earlier.

    He had to clean up quickly and then leave to find out about the secret behind the pir of light from afar!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng had left a positive impression on Tung Yang with his responsible move. He could have abandoned the ce and left immediately, however, he chose to honour the responsibility and persisted to stay.

    Now, Tung Yang was reluctant to take advantage of Qin Feng¡¯s presence and have him stay and defend the East Sea City coast. Upon the settlement of the incident, it would be impossible for both of them to get together for coboration, and there might even be a gap in between them!

    Qin Feng led Tung Yang into the Glutton.

    Meanwhile, there were several aptitude users within the Glutton that were alerted by Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness.

    ¡°All of you, immediately set the spatial waymark for departure, return to Fengli or Cinderst City, it would be safer!¡±

    Technicians that were based at the Fengli Organization were just average-skilled D-tiers. If it was not because of the mighty presence of the Glutton, it would be impossible for them to sail the ocean under such a dangerous situation and remain exposed at the ce that could easily bring fatality to them.

    Now that the pier was still conquered by an unidentified number of ultra beasts, and there was no way that they could return to East Sea City, they were only able to return to Fengli.

    ¡°Yes, President!¡±

    ¡°Affirmative, President!¡±

    They nodded and took out the spatial waymark to set the route to return.

    Only Qin Feng and Tung Yang were left in the Glutton, and Qin Feng reactivated the first authority.

    Consciousness instantly merged into the entire body of the Glutton.

    Even with minimal usage of machineries, the Glutton was a total fit to be used as an ordinary undead puppet. Of course, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was already sufficient to enclose its entire body, and the armories were also essible to him.

    ¡°Depart!¡±

    Qin Feng gave hismand, and immediately, the massive Glutton opened its mouth.

    Sea beasts that were crowding the outside world were all swallowed by the Glutton in a gulp!

    All of them were decayed sea beasts that were turned into undead puppets, it was like sending all of them to death, swallowed by the Glutton and grinded into pieces.

    It was the ultimate death for them. Energy was absorbed by Qin Feng, as they were once undead puppets, the ordinary ultra beasts were still able to congeal its energy core for collection.

    Finally, the pitfalls were resolved and all cleared for the Glutton to move forward!

    It moved at an extreme speed!

    In less than five minutes, a massive tsunami reappeared again.

    The Glutton did not submerge into the waters, it crashed through the wave with its massive body and was unfearful of any waves!

    Dong!

    A loud noise echoed throughout the entire area as the Glutton rammed through the tsunami and continued to move forward.

    Tung Yang was worried and frowned slightly but he still remained silent and did not stop Qin Feng. It was all clear to continue moving forward!

    It was because Tung Yang knew that there was a fortune ahead, waiting for him!

 Chapter 687 - Transformation of Divine Mountain

    <h4>Chapter 687: Transformation of Divine Mountain</h4>

    Sometimes, only the capable and powerful ones would be able to provide more protection to those that they cared for and keep them away from harm!

    Tung Yang held onto his worry for East Sea City but Qin Feng was not worried at all!

    Now, his only focus was to arrive at the destination as soon as possible.

    The Divine Mountain, a ce that could sanctify humans.

    The light pir had onlysted for half an hour before disappearing but there was a high probability that half of the entire had witnessed the scene.

    Especially the tens of the Human Alliance districts around the East Sea.

    Aside from the Huaxia Alliance, the Japanese Alliance, the Australian Alliance, the West Asia Alliance, the Philippines Alliance and the other alliances that were distributed along the massive Abyssal Ocean had seen the scene!

    For all of the alliances to arrive, the nearest one would only require five hours, and the most distant one would not take more than one and a half days!

    Sometimes, powerful A-tiers would directly cross the ocean without any problem.

    Underneath the deep ocean, countless appearances of rifts were all targeted and hunted down by A-tiers that were more powerful.

    By that time, they would no longer represent the Human Alliance, they would be there on their own to search for their own resources to fulfil their advancement to S-tier.

    ¡®Come to think of it, three yearster, Tung Yang would advance to S-tier, and it would most probably be caused by the appearance of the Divine Mountain!¡¯

    Qin Feng took a silent nce at Tung Yang. He was more affirmed to move on toward the destination, and he could no longer care about the associated risks!

    After several hours of moving forward, Qin Feng suddenly rose up in spirit!

    Meanwhile, the moon was already dotted on top of the dark sky. A horrifying storm seemed to be embedded within the endless ocean, but it was at that moment, a brittle white glow appeared and it seemed to be disseminated from something.

    It was like dazzling stars and a glowing moon!

    From afar, it was like a reflecting that had descended onto the ocean!

    Although it was still far away, Qin Feng had no choice but to slow down his travelling speed.

    ¡°Sea beast wave!¡± Qin Feng inhaled.

    Surprisingly, within such a short amount of time, the sea beast wave had already exploded!

    Of course, it was not any ordinary sea beast wave.

    Qin Feng activated the Glutton¡¯s hidden ability, a restricted perimeter was set around him, and more than a hundred surveince drones were released to fly out.

    The drones were too small as they were merely the size of a palm, they could never be in the food menu of the massively-sized sea beasts. Aside from some minor attacks from the sea birds, most of the drones were still in perfect state!

    Hence, Qin Feng had umted more images within a short amount of time.

    Above the waters, an unidentified number of sea beasts swarmed toward the direction of the Divine Mountain, they were rushing and thriving to be the first.

    Images from the drones had clearly revealed the features of the Divine Mountain, it was seen by both Qin Feng and Tung Yang.

    Ocean waters were mixed with mud, and reefs that were randomly stacked together had formed into a giant ind.

    Unexpectedly, the ind was already filled with towering trees and all sorts of creatures!

    While the Divine Mountain was still slowly expanding, Qin Feng noticed on the ocean waters that were filled with seaweeds, upon exposure to the air, their growth was then sped up. However, all of the seaweeds then soon wilted, turned into ash, and experienced regrowth again.

    Within only a minute, the same seaweed had already undergone its transformation four to five times, and a new species had finally appeared and was replenished with energy. Obviously, they were spirit herbs.

    Of course, the Divine Mountain was still constantly expanding, causing the existence of that ce to be temporary. However, the nts on top were experiencing dynamic growth!

    But the worst was yet toe.

    Countless numbers of sea beasts were swimming toward the Divine Mountain. Qin Feng was unaware of the situation under the waters, however, within seconds, a stingray had undergone rapid transformation.

    The stingrays had existed even before the A.C calendar, and now, they were all just C-tier sea beasts that had insignificant threat.

    But it seemed to have swallowed something unusual, and it was expanding at high speed!

    From a stingray that measured ten meters in length and about seven to eight meters in width, it had then elongated to three hundred meters and transformed into a mighty king of the ocean.

    Meanwhile, from the surveince of the drones, the stingray was like a carpet in the ocean, covered with evolving radiance on its back.

    Nheless, it began to move about in the waters. Surprisingly, it was gradually ascending from the ocean waters as it then flew up into the sky.

    Qin Feng felt like he was looking at a mythical Kun Peng!

    From amon looking C-tier sea beast, the stingray had experienced multiple breakthroughs, bypassing C-tier beast general, beast king, and then arriving at B-tier!

    It was different from tier-skipping advancement, and even its species was experiencing transformation.

    What about B-tier beast emperors? Countless numbers of seabirds were roaming the sky, all of a sudden, they flocked toward the fish that ascended up and tore it apart.

    It was a bloodbath on the ocean, triggering more battles among the sea beasts, fuelled by countless numbers getting into fights.

    An intimidating and massively-sized seabird had appeared in the sky.

    It was nothing like what Qin Feng had seen before. It had a body covered with jade green scales, pping physical wings on both sides that lifted it up, and a tail that was simr to a snake. It was the one that had torn the stingray apart.

    B-tier beast emperor!

    Qin Feng was aware of the existence of the horrifying creature, and it was about to advance to A-tier!

    Such a drastic change of situation had instantly silenced both Qin Feng and Tung Yang!

    Tung Yang was observing everything from the screen. Despite the shocking moment, there were still moments of joy that were seen from his eyes.

    He took a deep breath and continued, ¡°Qin Feng, the Glutton is definitely oversized, but for the both of us, we can still get up there, let me send you up to the ind! But it is a dangerous ce, and it is impossible for me to protect you all the way up!¡±

    With that being said, Tung Yang was clearly depicting his doubts.

    Qin Feng was indeed filled with growth potential, but benefits were still being prioritized by Tung Yang and he would still first consider his own advantage.

    Qin Feng chuckled and answered, ¡°Regent Tung, I am a dark ability user, if I intend to hide myself, I could even perform better than you. Let¡¯s just go separate ways from here!¡±

    Qin Feng was clearly aware of Tung Yang¡¯s concern, but being a B-tier himself, Qin Feng¡¯s capability might even be on par with an A-tier!

    Therefore, if they were to work together, it was still unknown who would be the onegging behind!

    Tung Yang was also stunned, as he was not expecting Qin Feng to answer in such a way.

    ¡°Are you serious? Are you really capable of doing it?¡±

    ¡°I do not need to lie to you, Regent Tung!¡±

    Tung Yang was assured by Qin Feng¡¯s unequivocal stare, he was then convinced that Qin Feng was telling the truth!

    ¡°If this is what you want, I will first make a move. After all, I have benefited from you, or else, this ocean trip will not be done in such a short amount of time!¡±

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°My pleasure!¡±

    ¡°When ites to benefits, everythinges with a price, if there is anything from the ind that suits you, I will keep it for you!¡±

    ¡°A million thanks in advance!¡±

    Qin Feng did not reject the offer, and did not deny his intention to go on his own search either; his collection of items could even be much more than Tung Yang¡¯s.

    ¡°Alright, I will have to make a move!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and activated the hidden passage. Tung Yang prated through and his body was transformed into liquid that was like the ocean water as he quickly sprinted forward.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was looking at the Divine Mountain and he seemed to be sure about his next move.

    From his consciousness, the contract was activated.

    ¡°Bai Li,e!¡±

 Chapter 688 - Summoning Xiao Bai

    <h4>Chapter 688: Summoning Xiao Bai</h4>

    ¡°One moment!¡±

    Transmitted through the contract, Bai Li had sent across her message. In less than ten minutes, a spatial passage was activated, and Bai Li had then appeared beside Qin Feng!

    Upon Bai Li¡¯s appearance, her petite little nose moved a little, and her eyes glowed.

    ¡°Something interesting!¡±

    After all, ever since Bai Li had be stronger, she had not reacted with such an expression for a long time!

    With such an expression, there was certainly something that had won her heart, the power of the Divine Mountain. There was definitely more to explore.

    ¡°An unknown region has suddenly appeared from here, something horrifying is inside, just be mindful of it!¡± Qin Feng warned.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I am here with you!¡± Bai Li immediately pped her hands.

    ¡°Of course, I will not be worried about you. First is to retrieve and keep the Glutton, it is an extremely huge target, and rather inappropriate to be used at this moment!¡± Qin Feng exined.

    ¡°Hmm!¡±

    Bai Li brought Qin Feng along and teleported out to the ocean surface. She raised her hand, and the massively-sized Leviathan was then merged into Bai Li¡¯s endless spatial storage.

    Qin Feng stood on the ocean surface. He was immediately noticed by an ultra beast as it opened its mouth wide and wanted to swallow him whole.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Bai Li snorted in frustration and immediately responded, a stretch of silver light arced across, and the gigantic ultra beast in the sea was sliced in half.

    Qin Feng nced at the sea beast that had already been torn apart by other sea beasts around, massacred into pieces. Without much emotion, he released his dark runes and shrouded Bai Li and himself.

    ¡°Lately you have been filled with the urge to kill!¡±

    Qin Feng made fun of Bai Li as she used to be reluctant to react when she was with Qin Feng.

    ¡°Ah? Is that true?¡± Bai Li asked curiously.

    ¡°Yes, you just reacted decisively earlier!¡±

    ¡°Maybe it is because of the recent frequent encounter of enemies!¡± Bai Li assumed that it was the reason behind it and nodded. ¡°I am always bothered by annoying opponents!¡±

    Qin Feng was humoured and giggled.

    ¡°It seems like the well-behaved and tranquil Xiao Bai is about to turn into a violent person!¡±

    ¡°Why would you say so, I am not a violent person!¡±

    The squabble continued for a while as Qin Feng led Bai Li to move toward the direction of the Divine Mountain.

    Both of them stopped at about ten thousand meters away. As they were getting closer, sea beasts around the area were also bing more powerful.

    ¡°Aow!¡±

    All of a sudden, a long howl was heard, a gigantic head of a snake rushed out from the ocean surface and aimed toward Qin Feng for a bite.

    Qin Feng instantly responded to the threat.

    ¡°Teleport!¡±

    It was the almost instant trigger of teleportation from Bai Li that had saved them from the deadly attack!

    Although they were in the dark, Qin Feng¡¯s vision was not restricted at all, and he clearly saw the horrifying creature that had appeared in the waters.

    ¡®What is that?¡¯

    Qin Feng questioned in his mind, and he did not expect anyone to answer his question.

    It was within his expectation that under the horrifying changes that had taken ce at the Divine Mountain, the appearance of any bizarre looking sea beasts would be possible.

    The sea beast that he saw was like a hydra, slowly retracting its skull back to its body that was shielded by an unexpected tortoise shell. The size of it was almost like a small ind, expanding up to a hundred meters wide. It was concealed by its intense dark color while dark mist was emitting from the surface.

    Surprisingly, it was a dark sea beast, and it would exin its ability to notice and pick-up traces of Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    ¡°Kill him!¡± Qin Feng loosened his grip from Bai Li as he took out his helmet and Verdant Emperor Saber from his spatial rune equipment.

    It was only a thousand meters away from the Divine Mountain, and they had already encountered such an unexpected creature. Areas closer to the mountain would be even more dangerous, it left Qin Feng no choice but to reveal his true capability.

    The helmet was put on and synced to hisbat fatigues, his entire gear had enhanced his overall mighty presence!

    It was the true form of the Sacred Armor.

    Qin Feng held onto his Verdant Emperor Saber and immediately struck with his first move!

    ¡°Dragon Steps!¡±

    Qin Feng descended at high speed from the sky. Whenpared with the majestic size of the ck tortoise beast, his body size was nothing, and his opponent¡¯s neck was tenfold thicker than his.

    Swoosh!

    Qin Feng stepped onto several points in the air, his body then redirected as hended on top of his opponent¡¯s neck.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    The glow from the ring sword had stretched for more than ten meters, instantly sweeping across the entire neck of the tortoise.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was engulfed in mes, an instant crackling sound was heard while a patch of ck scorched mark was formed on his opponent¡¯s burnt neck.

    Szz!

    Qin Feng was struck dumb instantly!

    The mutated sea beast only seemed to be a B2-tier beast king, while Qin Feng was capable of the internal strength output of an A-tier, how could he have not done any harm to his opponent?

    However, Qin Feng was not frustrated nor panicked, and his eyes had even begun to glow.

    ¡°So, this is from the transformation of the Divine Mountain? Very powerful indeed!¡±

    Meaning to say, every species that arrived at the Divine Mountain would undergo a total transformation, altering their features and strengthening them to be more powerful.

    However, it was not an appropriate time to admire the formidable Divine Mountain, as the ck tortoise already noticed that it was being attacked. It instantly reacted with a miserable shriek!

    Its massive neck rotated like the skull of a snake, it reversed itself and aimed toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Roar!!!¡±

    An enraged roar, and an array of massive glowing ck lights exploded from his opponent!

    Those were all abilities formed by dark runes, and they wereparable with the dragon breath!

    Qin Feng shifted his body to the left while his internal strength shield was coated with anotheryer of dark elements. It had then reduced the impact from the attack as Qin Feng escaped and dodged from the coverage of the dragon breath. He then got back closer to the neck of the ultra beast that looked like a giant python.

    ¡°We will see, how will you react to this!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber was no longer disseminating internal strength. His internal strength was redirected and fuelled into his body, strengthening his physical energy.

    Poof!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber then pierced through the outer neck skin of his opponent. It was struck deep, reaching the hilt of the saber.

    ¡°Open!¡±

    Qin Feng, with his Verdant Emperor Saber deep within, drove his body into it.

    The saber instantly tore the skin into a giant wound from top to bottom. The opening was more than thirty meters.

    With only a little more than a meter measurement, the Verdant Emperor Saber was still capable of stretching its cut to beyond its total length.

    With the embedding of all sorts of rare ores, the saber was transformed into a horrifying weapon.

    The tortoise let out a miserable shriek with its trembling skull, and its internals were also crumbling.

    It was due to the special features of Qin Feng¡¯s saber.

    With its weight, vibrations, and other sources of impact, the moment the Verdant Emperor Saber prated, it would cause an overwhelming amount of destructive force toward its target. Such forces could also be recognized as the maic field of the saber.

    The tortoise shook its skull twice, it could no longer withstand its copsing body as its neck bent and drooped down!

    Fresh blood burst out like an erupting fountain, and the ocean surface was contaminated with red color!

    However, it was still alive!

    ¡°Again!¡±

    Qin Feng aimed for the same wound opening, and his second attack was also added with exploding internal strength.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    The wound was instantly expanded to more than tens of meters wide, it had almost slit the dark tortoise¡¯s neck into half.

    Only then, the life of the dark tortoise ended.

    Qin Feng absorbed the energy from the dark tortoise. There was some sort of special energy that was present in the mixture that was merged into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Qin Feng knew that it was the energy from the Divine Mountain.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng did not intend to bring the massive tortoise shell with him. It would be a shame to sell off the dark element material that was rarely found.

    In less than five minutes, a majestic creature had already been transformed into ashes, but there was not any significant spike in Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities!

 Chapter 689 - Plentiful of Heavenly Jewels

    <h4>Chapter 689: Plentiful of Heavenly Jewels</h4>

    ¡°... that¡¯s a B3-tier beast king... and I haven¡¯t even felt the effects of its power?¡±

    Qin Feng was speechless.

    His abilities¡¯ foundation was way too strong by now. This had increased the amount of energy he could absorb whenever he used his Absorption Ability.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng moved onward.

    This time, it went on much smoother because there was no dark sea beast that was blocking his way. Thus, in no time, he finally reached the Divine Mountain.

    In an instant, a unique energy flushed into his body from the ground through his feet. Every time he took in a breath, he could feel surges of energy flowing in him.

    If the Dragon Capital was a jeweled haven, this ce was probably ten times more jeweled than that super metropolis!

    The energy that was flushing into his body from beneath the ground was so powerful that it could vehemently evolve any living creature at any moment.

    ¡°This energy...¡± It was quite apparent even Bai Li felt it too.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you going to be okay?¡± Qin Feng looked Bai Li with a concerned look.

    Bai Li shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m okay. It¡¯s just that... I can feel every living cell in my body bing very very excited! It¡¯s like they¡¯re evolving! But... the rate of them evolving is rather slow so there isn¡¯t going to be much change for now.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, this energy is really unique indeed. This Divine Mountain isn¡¯t going to be here long. However, the nts and flowers in this area could have absorbed its energy too. This means that the Divine Mountain¡¯s energy could be preserved in these nts. So, right now, the most important thing is to harvest these Heavenly Jewels!¡±

    ¡°This is my specialty. Let¡¯s go!¡±

    After replying confidently, Bai Li brought Qin Feng deep into the Divine Mountain.

    Of course, aside from the Heavenly Jewels, there were also other dangerously mutated nts and creatures too. Some of sea beasts had even experienced a massive change and evolution after being exposed to this energy for hours.

    Qin Feng even witnessed a youngling of an ultra beast that was freshly born that lookedpletely different from its mother!

    ¡°This energy could evolve and fundamentally change a species. Bai Li has stable and strong genes¡ªa sign that she had already experienced aplete and near perfect evolution. That¡¯s why she isn¡¯t affected much by this energy. But what about the humans? What about me?¡±

    Qin Feng closed his eyes and tried to detect any changes in his body.

    Hmm... There was not much of a change either.

    Perhaps, this meant that the human race was also a species that had experienced aplete evolution.

    ¡°Or perhaps, this is also the reason humans can have so many weaklings but also so many prodigies. Much like how the dragon folks in the unknown region said!¡±

    If the human race were that weak, then why did it have some prodigies appearing amongst its ranks?

    ¡°Hubby! Right here!¡± Bai Li grabbed Qin Feng¡¯s arm and teleported them to a massive tree branch.

    This tree was really huge¡ªit looked like a giant coconut tree, one that had a smooth trunk and severalrge leaves. Of course, it also bore some fruits.

    These fruits were giving off some really fine aroma and also emitting powerful energies.

    Creak!

    A fruit appeared to be now ripe, broken away from the tree branch as it fell to the ground.

    Qin Feng pinched his conscious energy and stopped the fruit fromnding on the ground at the nick of time before handing it to Bai Li, who then stored it in her dimensional pocket.

    ¡°Pweez Pweez Pweez!!¡±

    ¡°Kachak Kachak! Kachak Kachak!¡±

    A series of noises could be heard from below.

    Qin Feng lowered his head and saw a few ultra beasts that looked peculiarly weird as they were eyeing at him with their crimson red eyes.

    They were about one-meter in length, shaped like fishes. They crawled out of the water with their newly grown ws.

    These were fishes that had evolved and just gotten out of the water!

    These creatures¡¯ original wet scales appeared to have dried up and turned into hardened, stone-like scales. Their tails had also been lengthened via their evolution.

    Then, Qin Feng saw it¡ªthere were a few crushed fruits on the ground near these ultra beasts.

    It seemed that these creatures were rather upset at Qin Feng for robbing them off of their food source. Some creatures of therger variety were seemingly quite cross with him.

    ¡°Cleak!¡±

    An ultra beast tried to climb onto the tree, intending to fight Qin Feng to reim the fruit.

    However, after a few attempts, it fell straight to the ground¡ªits body was not fully evolved to climb trees after all.

    Yet, after seeing their brethren fall down, the other ultra beasts seemed to get even more agitated. They thudded their tails on the ground and continuously leaped up to seven to eight meters in the sky and hit the tree.

    Thud! Thud! Thud!

    The Ultra Beasts kept on hitting the tree, making it sway violently¡ªit seemed that they intended to shake the tree so that the fruits would fall down for them.

    Unfortunately for them, Qin Feng was there. There was no way he would allow others to take away what he wanted.

    ¡°Harvest them all.¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Bai Li thus waved her conscious energy and plucked all the fruits away while Qin Feng raised his hand and summoned his fire runes.

    ¡°Hellfire Carpet!¡±

    In a sweep, dozens of ultra beasts were engulfed by fire.

    Although they had just undergone their evolution, these ultra beasts had already be as strong as a C-tier. If they kept on feeding on these fruits, they might actually be a new powerful species.

    Qin Feng knew just how powerful this Divine Mountain was. As such, the tree was going to bear even more fruits.

    That was why it was best that he y these ultra beasts right now and be done with it.

    Of course, there could also be other ultra beasts that woulde hereter for the fruits but Qin Feng was not going to stay here for long. He was going to leave it all to fate.

    ¡°There¡¯s more here too, Hubby!¡±

    Bai Li brought Qin Feng to another location via her dimensional abilities again.

    ¡°Right here!¡±

    ¡°Oh, this side has even better ones! Let¡¯s go there next!¡±

    ¡°Ah! This fruit is so sweet! Teehee!¡±

    Bai Li kept bringing Qin Feng around happily, like a couple shopping in a mall.

    Meanwhile, there was another person that was having apletely different experience than the love birds.

    Unlike Qin Feng and Bai Li, Tung Yang did not have the ability to control dimensional runes. All he had were water runes. As such, he had to move around fighting ultra beasts and violent nts attacking him from all sides.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    A twenty-meter high, fifty-meter wide ultra beast was now chasing Tung Yang. This thing looked like a massive seahorse but with a bigger, stronger body and limbs. It looked like a prehistoric dinosaur!

    Not only that, this thing was powerful¡ªit was an A-tier beast king!

    Although Tung Yang was an A-tier ability user and regent, to take on a beast of this caliber he also needed to be a king type.

    Unfortunately for Tung Yang, his powers were just the equivalent of an A-tier beast general.

    That was why he had to run.

    He sped all the way to the shore and morphed into a stream of water, fleeing into the ocean.

    The seahorse looked at the ocean and turned away¡ªit appeared that after evolving, it had developed some contempt for the ocean.

    ¡°Goddamnit! It appears that I can¡¯t go here too. Perhaps I should try tond at another location!¡±

    Tung Yang shook his liquid head and moved around the ind, attempting to find a better ce tond.

    Qin Feng might not have guessed that Tung Yang, the man who had left much earlier than him, could not even get onto the ind right now.

    And as this was all happening, twenty meters away from the Divine Mountain, several deep-sea vessels were moving quietly toward it. Each of them had at least one or two A-tier ability users with them.

    It was the members of the other Human Alliances! They had already arrived!

 Chapter 690 - Obol

    <h4>Chapter 690: Obol</h4>

    The bottom of the Abyssal Ocean had begun to calm down.

    The, after all, still had limitations in size and space to allow just so many things to appear on it. A few hours after the huge crack had surfaced on the Earth, most of the areas that could not form a stable dimensional path had now been closed off.

    A few dozen hourster, the sky became white again as soon as the crack started to close up. The Divine Mountain was now no longer shaking while the beast waves had stopped.

    The ocean was now finallypletely calm.

    In the following hours, the A-tiers and B-tiers would then arrive to fight one another for loot and scraps.

    Outside of the Divine Mountain, other people from the Human Alliance had already left their deep-sea vessels behind and stepped into the Divine Mountain.

    ¡°Obliterating Thunder!¡±

    An A-tier ability user released powerful thunderbolts into the ocean, zapping countless sea beasts that were swimming within thousands of meters in the area.

    ¡°Swift Lightning!¡±

    Then, the ability user zipped across thousands of meters above the now paralyzed sea beasts. However, it did not take long before they recovered and then started to attack him.

    In an instant, hurricanes and tidal waves started to violently attack the ability user, forcing him to turn back.

    He was not the only one having a hard time getting near the Divine Mountain¡ªthe other A-tiers too struggled a lot before they got to step onto the Divine Mountain.

    At the same time, on the ind, Bai Li¡¯s ears twitched as she cocked her head to one side, seemingly trying to listen to something.

    Despite Bai Li too being an ability user, she was still by core a beast herself. As such, more often than not, she relied more on instincts to act.

    She knew that the others had already stepped on the ind without the need of using her powers and abilities.

    Of course, after spending so much time with her, Qin Feng had learned to read her bodynguage. As such, he too understood what the situation was and began to use his conscious energy to scan their surroundings.

    ¡°Someone¡¯sing!¡±

    It was already morning, with the suning out from the horizon.

    It was quite expected to see some people finally arriving on the ind.

    ¡°Hmm? It¡¯s Obol of the Philippines Alliance!¡±

    This person was known as ¡°the King of Thunder¡± in the Philippines Alliance. He was known to be quite prideful¡ªand his massive ego stemmed from his great power and strength.

    At the very least, his social status in the Philippines Alliance wasparable to the regents in the Huaxia Alliance!

    Obol turned his head toward a certain direction¡ªstraight in Qin Feng¡¯s location! His conscious energy was spreading out of his body like crazy.

    He had spotted Qin Feng as soon as hended on the ind.

    Qin Feng quickly withdrew his consciousness energy and enveloped himself in dark runes, concealing his whereabouts.

    Obol frowned and snorted, ¡°Hmph! A mere B-tier thinks he can just spy on me and then get away with it?¡±

    Then, Obol leaped up and sped toward Qin Feng¡¯s location.

    However, as soon as he moved forward for about a few hundred meters, he was intercepted by a few waves of ultra beasts. These ultra beasts had all evolved to near perfection now, and thus they could fight fairly effectively.

    As such, it was quite difficult for Obol to catch Qin Feng right now.

    ¡°Let¡¯s ignore the ones outside and head deep into the mountain. We might be able to find some ultra beasts that are more powerful!¡±

    Ignoring Obol, Qin Feng brought Bai Li further into the mountain to gain more loot.

    Time was ticking.

    As such, he needed to loot as much as he could before more people got onto the ind. In fact, right now there could already be some people lurking inside the mountain... and fighting them might be unavoidable.

    As long as you had the treasures that others wanted, you would be considered their enemies!

    Qin Feng had the memories from before he was reborn. If he could not get more loot than the others, his memories would all be wasted!

    The energy of the Divine Mountain was too great. After journeying inside, Qin Feng found that there were plenty of Heavenly Jewels everywhere.

    Teleporting around using Bai Li¡¯s abilities would have resulted in them missing these treasures¡ªand it would have been such a waste!

    ¡°In that case ...¡±

    Qin Feng eyed a B-tier beast king.

    Due to most of these creatures having recently evolved from sea beasts, most of them were still crawling on the ground, wagging their massive fish tails. From afar, they looked like giant lizards.

    Of course, some of them had evolved into venomous sea snakes.

    And this one? It was a massive, terrifying sea snake!

    It had beautiful, emerald green skin, indicating that it was rather venomous.

    Without hesitation, Qin Feng attacked it with a ray of white light that emitted from his Sacred Armor from the shadows!

    Poof!

    This light instantlynded on the giant serpent, pushing it back twenty meters, crushing the nts and grass around it along the way.

    When the light dispersed, arge crater appeared at where the sea snake was at. The sea snake swayed its tail nervously before settling down.

    ¡°Heh!¡±

    Qin Feng sneered and raised his hand again. A beam of ck light instantly covered the snake¡¯s wound. Then, its flesh started to rot.

    Pzzzt!

    The sea snake instantly got up from the ground! Despite how fatal Qin Feng¡¯s attack was earlier, this thing was still a B-tier beast king. It would not die so easily!

    The sea snake rolled around for a moment before lunging at Qin Feng as it widened its fanged, bloody mouth.

    ¡°Psst...¡±

    A mouthful of thick green fog dispersed out of its mouth and enveloped where Qin Feng stood.

    Buzz!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy formed a shield and blocked the snake¡¯s poisonous gases in the nick of time.

    However, he could feel that his internal energy was seething violently and decreasing in power over time when the gas hit on his shield. This showed just how poisonous the gas was!

    ¡°Die!¡±

    A silver ray whipped on the sea snake¡¯s wound and cracked it open. Its heart was crushed almost instantly. The terrifying sea snake was now finally dead!

    Qin Feng quickly moved out of the green poisonous fog and shone his ck beam onto the snake¡¯s corpse.

    The sea snake was supposed to be dead. However, as soon as the ck light was shone upon it, it slowly got up! Its body was now covered in ayer of ck scales¡ªit was now controlled by Qin Feng¡¯s Dark Puppeteering.

    Qin Feng had realized just how useful this skill was after using it in so many battles. As such, naturally, he would want to try to use it on the snake again this time.

    Thus, he ordered the undead snake to move forward as he and Bai Li tailed behind it.

    He then harvested all of the Heavenly Jewels within a two-hundred-meter radius. After that, he went to their of the other beast kings.

    Then, he obtained another beast king undead puppet.

    And then, repeat.

    By doing that, his undead puppet army was growing bigger by the minute.

    ***

    Meanwhile, the A-tiers were hunting ultra beasts around the ind happily.

    ¡°Whoah! What kind of herb is this? I¡¯ve never seen it!! It actually contains such arge amount of energy!¡±

    ¡°Stop, we can¡¯t absorb it here right now. Keep looking!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Someone came here? There are so many fruits already plucked clean?¡±

    Some people were excited, some were happy... And naturally, some of them were angry.

 Chapter 691 - Tung Yang Ensnared!

    <h4>Chapter 691: Tung Yang Ensnared!</h4>

    The signs of Qin Feng harvesting all the nts outside were quite apparent and obvious. Thus, it was rather quick for them to take notice.

    To these people, it meant that the next person they met on the ind would be the one who had harvested all these treasures. This in turn made all of them start to be greedy and murderous.

    Thus, it did not take long before these people started to sh with one another...

    This was quite unfortunate¡ªfor Tung Yang. Due to him not being able to get onnd several times, Tung Yang¡¯s progress was already severely stunted. And now, he was trying to get near the shore where Obol was at.

    Obol, on the other hand, had taken notice of Qin Feng¡¯s appearance on the ind. As such, he believed that anyone who was already on the ind must have a lot of Heavenly Jewels on them. If he killed these people, it would not only mean that he would be able to take all of these treasures for himself, it would also mean that he would have eliminated hispetitors.

    Obol was already an A8-tier while Tung Yang was still at A5-tier. When they met, Tung Yang knew things were bad for him!

    Therefore, Tung Yang did not hesitate and turned tail right away. Seeing this, Obol leaped up and fiercely chased after him.

    ¡°Hey, aren¡¯t you that regent from the Huaxia Alliance? What¡¯s your name again? Lemme think...¡± Obol¡¯s conscious energy was locked onto Tung Yang as he chased after him.

    ¡°Obol, what do you want?¡±

    Tung Yang¡¯s face was grim.

    ¡°What do I want? Tung Yang, if I remember correctly, this Abyssal Ocean falls under your jurisdiction, right? This means that you must be the first one to step onto the ind. I am meaning to ask... I¡¯ve set my eyes on a type of fruit just now and were you the one who took them?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re bullsh*tting me, aren¡¯t you?!¡±

    ¡°Oh, so you¡¯re not going to admit it? Hehe, there¡¯s no hurry. I¡¯ll make you admit it!¡±

    ¡°Swift Lightning!¡±

    With another split of lightning sparkling behind him, Obol had elerated his speed and caught up to Tung Yang!

    ¡°Hydro Dragon Strike!¡±

    Tung Yang quickly unleashed his powers but it was not to attack Obol¡ªinstead he used his own attacks to envelop himself in water and dashed straight at the ocean.

    ¡°Ten Thousand Thunder!¡±

    Suddenly, a massive dark cloud loomed above Tung Yang before thousands of lightning zapped down, covering every direction toward the ocean.

    If Tung Yang wanted to continue onward, he would definitely get hurt. He was three tiers weaker than Obol after all. As such, if he got hurt by the lightning strikes, it would definitely send him to the hospital wards for weeks.

    Thus, Tung Yang turned and changed his direction toward the forest.

    ¡°Raging Waterfall!¡±

    A huge waterfall fell from the sky and blocked Obol.

    Still, this could only force Obol to take a small turn and merely stop him for a few seconds.

    ¡°Kweeek Kweeeek!¡±

    A massive flying ultra beast seemed to have noticed that something was going on over here and flew straight toward them.

    It was a B7-tier beast king.

    Right now, Tung Yang had enemies on both fronts. It was bing difficult for him to move forward and retreat.

    All he could do now was to just turn toward another random direction and start running. There was no time for him to stop and carefully pick his route. Meanwhile, Obol was getting closer and closer.

    ¡°Hahaha! Die, Tung Yang!¡±

    Obol raised his electric-type rune weapon. Several electric currents zapped through the crystal that was embalmed on the equipment; from afar, it looked like he was wielding a lightning bolt!

    ¡°Pzzkaat!!¡±

    The lightning spear cracked and split in the sky beforending on Tung Yang¡¯s back!

    ¡°Arggh!!¡±

    Tung Yang let out an excruciating cry. Although he had already enveloped himself in a water bubble barrier, it was not enough to fully protect him.

    ¡°Water Healing!¡±

    Still, Tung Yang would not go down so easily. The real power behind a water-type ability user was not his fighting prowess¡ªit was his great healing powers!

    In a split second, Tung Yang¡¯s wound waspletely healed! Even his hair that was zapped to curls was also healed back to its original silky form.

    Still, there was no way Tung Yang could run away from his pursuer.

    ¡°Obol!! I won¡¯t forgive you!¡±

    Tung Yang clenched his teeth and intended to use his trump card. If there was no way of running, perhaps it was best for him to just turn back and fight.

    There was very little hope in surviving this though. Such were the results of battles between A-tiers. What more... this Obol was three tiers more powerful than him!

    He was not Qin Feng. In fact, it was quite a rare urrence for someone like Qin Feng to be born.

    What made his situation even direr was that Obol was a genius inbat himself.

    Suddenly, a massive sea snake appeared from the bushes. This thing was about two-meter wide¡ªa phenomenally huge beast indeed. Under normal circumstances, no one in the world would not have noticed it even if it tried to hide in a bush. Yet, none of them noticed it¡ªnot even the flying beast noticed the sea snake before it lunged out of the bush.

    ¡°Kweeek!!!¡±

    The flying beast seemed to think the snake was its food. As such, it got excited and flew down to kill the sea snake.

    However, the sea snake did not seem to care about the flying beast. Instead, it lunged straight at Obol!

    Pooof!!

    It spewed a green fog and enveloped Obol, who immediately backed off anxiously.

    Grrooom!!

    Suddenly, tremors could be felt on the ground. It was apparent that there were countless ultra beasts moving in the forest.

    After giving it a scan with his conscious energy, Obol¡¯s face turned grim.

    ¡°Beast kings! Why are there so many beast kings here?!¡±

    Then, he looked at the sea snake. This thing seemed to be battle hardened. This made his face even grimmer than before.

    ¡°Dark Puppeteering? Who¡¯s doing this? Is it Kounsat?¡±

    ¡°...¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll let you go for now! Consider yourself lucky this time!¡±

    Obol yelled out to Tung Yang before deciding to run away. However, when he looked at Tung Yang, it was as if the man was looking at him like he was already dead.

    Katchaaa!

    Wielding a full body of lightning, Obol dashed miles away while the sea snake and flying beast fought fiercely.

    When the other ultra beasts appeared, the flying beast had already been torn to pieces.

    Having just escaped from a gruesome fate, Tung Yang immediately pulled up his guard again. However, after scanning his surroundings with his conscious energy, Tung Yang immediately felt d.

    ¡°Qin Feng! It¡¯s you!¡±

    ¡°Regent Tung, are you alright?¡±

    Qin Feng was actively releasing his conscious energy toward Tung Yang so he knew it was him. A few secondster, Qin Feng appeared before Tung Yang.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m alright. That dreadful Obol! He¡¯s such a jerk!¡±

    Qin Feng kept quiet with a smile on his face¡ªhe did not feel the need to curse a person behind his back.

    ¡°We can¡¯t use ourmunicators here. Not even our Consciousness Connector works over here. So, it¡¯s quite expected for the other people from other alliances to want to take advantage of us.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, you don¡¯t seem surprised at all!¡± Tung Yang let out a bitter smile. He could still remember when he was younger he thought every faction within the Human Alliance was going to be united under one banner and help each other out in this post-apocalyptic world. He was too na?ve back then.

    ¡°Regent Tung, perhaps you should harvest the materials you need around us. With that, we could provide you our support too.¡± Qin Feng suggested.

    Tung Yang¡¯s face turned red after hearing this. He abandoned Qin Feng earlier after all. And speaking of supporting, he was a superior and a regent¡ªhe should be the one who did the supporting.

    Yet, after seeing dozens of B-tier beast kings under Qin Feng¡¯smand, Tung Yang could not find any reason to reject his offer. Still, it would be so shameful for him to ept the help of someone supposedly weaker and ranked lower than him.

    ¡°Alright, then!¡±

    Saving face was one thing; but it was quite obvious that Qin Feng was indeed powerful.

    As such, Tung Yang gave up in preserving his face and agreed to ept his help.

 Chapter 692 - The True Undead Puppeteer

    <h4>Chapter 692: The True Undead Puppeteer</h4>

    Of course, Qin Feng was not offering his help out of kindness. He was just hoping that he would not cause a string of butterfly effects that would lead to much bigger chaos.

    Before he was reborn, Tung Yang was not going to arrive at the Divine Mountain this early. Instead, he was supposed to be at East Sea City, handling the flood crisis.

    And Qin Feng did not know whether Obol would eventually be at odds with Tung Yang.

    However, if he caused the death of the Eastern Region¡¯s regent, things would then swirlpletely out of his control.

    The two men had connected their consciousness together via a smallmunication device that Tung Yang gave Qin Feng. This was a device that was rather simr to the one he acquired in the Perished Lands. It could connect two people¡¯s consciousness within tens of thousands of meters!

    Thus, they split up again.

    Qin Feng kept on hunting ultra beasts and then subjugating them into one of his Undead Puppets. With their and Bai Li¡¯s conscious energy, they were able to detect a lot of treasures and Heavenly Jewels from miles away.

    Meanwhile, Obol had retreated from where Qin Feng was earlier at the speed of a lightning. The other ultra beasts that appeared in front of him were of course no match for him; so, even though he was not able to rob the harvested treasures from Tung Yang, Obol was still able to hunt all these ultra beasts and harvest their materials for himself. As a result, he too had looted a great haul from this trip.

    ording to the history that Qin Feng knew, other than the death of the Glutton Leviathan, there was also another incident¡ªone that involved the birth of a group of S-tier ability users.

    And one of these people was Obol.

    Ascending from A8-tier to S-tier in just a day, this also meant that the power one could harvest from the Divine Mountain was plentiful and insanely powerful!

    Obol was quick to detect another source of energy. He could tell by just sniffing the air¡ªit was the scent of death! The scent was one of rotting flesh, one that would make one nauseous when smelling it.

    This was the scent of ptomaine!

    And this was not something that any mere Undead Puppeteer could control!

    Obol turned his head and saw the rotten flesh on the ground. A strange feeling crept up his mind as he slowly followed the trail.

    He could feel that someone was standing still within five hundred meters. It was as though he was waiting for him.

    It seemed that that person had already detected Obol.

    However, Obol was not able to detect this person¡¯s presence because he was a dark ability user.

    ¡°Kounsat!¡±

    Obol saw a skinny man dressed in a ck robe. From afar, he looked like a skeleton.

    ¡°Obol!¡±

    The man looked at Obol as several Undead Puppets started to congregate around him, seemingly prepared to block Obol¡¯s attacks. His eyes were glittering with greed, most likely thinking of murdering Obol on the spot to obtain whatever treasures the man had on him.

    This was the A-tier dark ability user that Obol thought about when confronting Tung Yang earlier¡ªKounsat!

    ¡°So, you¡¯re here... If you¡¯re here, then who was the one I met earlier?¡± Obol took a look at Kounsat and noticed that he only had five Undead Puppets with him.

    There was also a humanoid, dressed in a ck robe, following Kounsat. Obol knew that this ¡°humanoid¡± was not a person¡ªit was Kounsat¡¯s strongest Undead Puppet. When he was alive, the man was an S-tier ancient warrior from the West Asia Alliance. After he died, Kounsat dug him out secretly and made him his puppet. Due to this, Kounsat was now hunted by the West Asia Alliance¡ªwhich led him to join the Dark Coalition.

    Kounsat had since done numerous inhumane experiments and research within the Dark Coalition¡¯s territories.

    Looking at Kounsat¡¯s five Undead Puppets, Obol realized that these were merely the level of beast generals. The only one that he was wary of was just the S-tier ancient warrior puppet and Kounsat himself¡ªwho was an A1-tier ability user. Still, if he wanted, he could just strike him down here and then¡ªObol could just kill the skinny, frail man in one hit. Without their master, the other puppets would fall as well.

    However, Obol did not feel that they needed to fight.

    ¡°Hehe, you won¡¯t believe it if I tell you. Just now I was hunting the Eastern Regent of the Huaxia Alliance. And then, I met a dark ability user. He was able tomand a dozen ultra beasts in the forest over there!¡±

    Kounsat¡¯s eyes shrunk as he stared at Obol.

    ¡°Seriously?¡±

    ¡°What do I have to gain by lying to you?¡±

    Kounsat¡¯s eyes were now glittering with joy. Obol knew this man had hunted down numerous dark ability users in the past. His reason was mainly because he wanted to rob the others¡¯ Undead Puppets. This was like how the gunners would challenge one another to get their guns.

    Kounsat¡¯s puppet was S-tier. As such, it was natural for him to worry that there could be others that would rob it away from him. This was also why Kounsat had killed many dark ability users that had potential to be strong.

    Obol¡¯s motivation was to have Kounsat get rid of the threat near Tung Yang for him.

    ¡°Hehe, if you¡¯re interested, they were heading that way. Don¡¯t thank me. Just think of this as me looking out for a friend!¡±

    After saying his piece, Obol left in a split of lightning. Kounsat, still standing there, red in the direction that Obol was pointing at and ordered his Undead Puppets to head toward Qin Feng¡¯s location.

    They were still far apart at the moment; and there were also countless other dangers in the Divine Mountain. Thus, when Kounsat was able to get to Qin Feng, three hours had already passed.

    Despite Kounsat being an A-tier dark ability user, Qin Feng was the one who spotted him first.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had already grown so much after all. And with him gathering so many dark runestely, it was a piece of cake for him to detect Kounsat.

    ¡°Ah, it¡¯s Kounsat from the West American Dark Coalition!¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    ¡°This is just great. I¡¯ve been meaning to find you to avenge myself from my previous life. And now, you¡¯reing to me. How quaint of you!¡±

    Before he was reborn, Qin Feng was the King of Mercenaries. He had been to numerous parts of the world. Sue to the West American Alliance and Huaxia Alliance being parted by just arge pool of ocean, after ascending to A-tier Qin Feng had journeyed to the West American Alliance a lot of times whenever something huge happened. It was then, Qin Feng and Kounsat had shed a lot of times. If it was not due to Qin Feng still retaining one percent of his Absorption Ability, he would have died in his heads at least eight hundred times.

    Kounsat was one of his nemeses in Qin Feng¡¯s previous life.

    ¡°Perhaps I should prepare a proper wee for this old friend!¡±

    Qin Feng thus ordered hundreds of his Undead Puppets to be enveloped under his dark runes, exposing only five of his weakest puppets¡ªones that were only as strong as beast generals.

    Qin Feng knew Kounsat had a habit of killing other dark ability users. As such, when Kounsat saw him, he would definitelye and try to kill him.

    Qin Feng wanted to show a little bit of his hand as bait.

    This also meant that Obol was quite a cunning fox himself. He did see that Qin Feng had at least thirty Undead Puppets. Yet, he told Kounsat that he only had ¡°a dozen¡±. Nheless, a dark ability user that could control ten to twelve Undead Puppets was already a threat to Kounsat.

    Now, as Kounsat moved onward, he was able to detect Qin Feng¡¯s presence.

    ¡°Oh? He¡¯s here?¡±

    ¡°Hmm? He¡¯s just a B-tier? And only five puppets? This is different from what Obol said earlier. But if it¡¯s just a B-tier, this means that he has probably expended too much energy!¡±

    ¡°Hehe, well too bad, kiddo. It¡¯s a bad day for you today because you¡¯re going to face me!¡±

    Kounsat did not even realize what was wrong with the situation at hand at all. In fact, he even made a rationale behind the difference in the number of Undead Puppets that his opponent had.

    And he kept on moving forward to confront Qin Feng!

 Chapter 693 - Trapping Kounsat

    <h4>Chapter 693: Trapping Kounsat</h4>

    Kounsat believed that he was several tiers stronger than Qin Feng. As such, neither did he suspect that Qin Feng had already discovered him, nor that he was actually walking straight into a trap.

    To him, it was entirely logical that Qin Feng could not sense his presence.

    Qin Feng smelled the decaying odor in the air when Kounsat was within a hundred meters of him. He faked a perplexed expression and gazed into the distance.

    Though Kounsat was concealing his body using dark runes, the odor of his puppet could no longer be masked.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression instantly changed. He turned around and sprinted away without much hesitation. Kounsat¡¯s undead puppets naturally pursued him closely.

    ¡°Haha! It¡¯s toote for you to run now!¡±

    Kounsat cackled and unleashed a gush of dark runes.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Darkness immediately engulfed the forest.

    Qin Feng¡¯s speed slowed down tremendously after being surrounded by the thick dark fog. Kounsat approached him speedily riding on a giant undead puppet.

    There was only a thirty-meter gap between them now.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Fengmanded five of his undead puppets to halt the assaulter.

    ¡°Hahaha! How na?ve you are to maneuver a puppet in front of the true puppeteer. Your undead puppets are nothing but a joke to me.¡±

    Kounsat was being cocky. Hemanded four of his puppets. Though at a numerical disadvantage, Kounsat¡¯s corpses rapidly ripped apart Qin Feng¡¯s puppets. The most dangerous weapon of Kounsat¡¯s puppets was the ptomaine.

    ¡°Hahaha!¡± Kounsatughed boastfully.

    ¡°You are probably one of the top prodigies in the Huaxia Alliance. The fact that you could control the B3-tier beast general at B-tier speaks a lot about your potential. Unfortunately, your opponent is me. You would not have met me if you had stuck your ass at Huaxia.¡±

    Qin Feng stopped his frantic escape and turned around. Despite the darkness, Kounsat could clearly see the smile on Qin Feng¡¯s face.

    Kounsat froze when he confirmed that Qin Feng was indeed smiling.

    ¡°Actually, B3 beast generals are not the only puppets I can control.¡±

    Qin Feng ryed the message through his consciousness. A bad feeling crept into Kounsat¡¯s mind.

    Qin Feng triggered his conscious power and the darkness surrounding him was promptly dispersed. The forest came back into vision with a telling difference.

    Unbeknownst to Kounsat, they were now encircled by more than a hundredrge-sized undead puppets.

    ¡°Look over here, these are B1-tier beast kings. Those there are B3-tiers. Here, these are B6-tier beast kings. Wait a minute, what are we seeing here. It¡¯s a B5-tier beast emperor!¡± Qin Feng pointedstly at the strongest puppet he had spent a lot of effort capturing.

    Kounsat, who had been watching, was blown away.

    ¡®I was tricked!¡¯

    The degree of Qin Feng¡¯s conscious power must be unbelievably high judging by the number of powerful puppets he managed tomand. Even Kounsat could not have control of so many powerful corpses at once.

    If Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was this vast, then it was impossible for him to not realize that Kounsat was approaching earlier. In other words, Qin Feng had purposely lured him in.

    The beasts besieging them proved just that.

    ¡°Who, who are you?¡± Kounsat bellowed through his consciousness, ¡°Obol and you must have colluded and lied to me!¡±

    Qin Feng was surprised to hear the name but it was not entirely unexpected.

    ¡°You trusted Obol? I am his enemy. He would be pleased to see the two of us exhaust each other and be the third dog who runs away with the bone.¡±

    Kounsat¡¯s face contorted into a scowl as if he was yelling, ¡®How dare you deceive me, Obol!¡¯

    But then, his face quickly twisted into an ugly smirk. ¡°Since we have amon enemy now, we should work together against him instead. We are both dark ability users so it¡¯s not ideal to harm each other and fulfill Obol¡¯s wish. If you wish, I can teach you the way of corpse ptomaine alchemy. That will increase your puppets¡¯ threat into a whole new level!¡±

    ¡°To be honest, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s all that difficult to kill you first then only turn on Obol. Why should I coborate with a weakling like you? You must be considered an elect in the West American Alliance. Unfortunately, you have bumped into me. You wouldn¡¯t be in such a predicament if you had stuck your ass in West America.¡± Qin Feng answered sarcastically through his consciousness. These were simr to what Kounsat had said to belittle Qin Feng earlier.

    That obviously infuriated Kounsat.

    ¡°Boy, do you think I am really afraid of you? Die now!¡±

    A horrible creature suddenly hopped out from the shadow behind Qin Feng.

    It was none other than Kounsat¡¯s humanoid puppet. The undead puppet was S-tier and extremely powerful.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shield broke instantaneously.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength was so great that even an A-tier ancient warrior would need at least eighteen hits to shatter his shield.

    Shockingly, the shield copsed instantly in a single attack by the undead puppet.

    Nevertheless, the small knife in the hand of the puppet stopped short right before it cut through Qin Feng¡¯s neck. It was only one cm away from beheading Qin Feng.

    ¡°Hey, have you forgotten that I am a dark ability user as well? Moreover, I am a better puppeteer than you!¡±

    In a split second, Qin Feng had already infiltrated the S-tier corpse with his consciousness and took away Kounsat¡¯s control over the puppet. The puppet immediately stopped moving.

    Qin Feng possessed a B-tier beast emperor¡¯s consciousness and had the potential of SS-tier. On the other hand, Kounsat was only an A-tier ordinary ability user. If not because of his dark ability and the corpse of an S-tier ancient warrior, he could not have been this bullish for so many years.

    Kounsat knew exactly what his weakness was. That was why he had not been merciful against other dark ability users.

    But today, he finally faced the worst possible situation.

    Today must be his unluckiest day.

    ¡°Tear him apart!¡± Qin Feng triggered his consciousness and numerous puppets immediately swarmed on Kounsat.

    ¡°No!!!¡± Kounsat shrieked in pain. Five beast puppets rapidly tore him apart. Even the scary corpse ptomaine could not stop the aggressive puppets. Kounsat¡¯s dark ability had no use in front of Qin Feng. He tried to escape through the air but Qin Feng had five flying beasts waiting for him in midair too.

    The escape-proof trap was designed specifically for Kounsat.

    A few minutester, Kounsat was shredded into pieces. Qin Feng absorbed the remaining energy dissipated from Kounsat¡¯s corpse and was disappointed to find out that it did not even match that of a beast general¡¯s ability core.

    Blitz!

    A current went through Qin Feng¡¯s specialmunicator. Then Tung Yang¡¯s voice was heard. ¡°Qin Feng, why did I hear someone screaming from your side? Are you in a fight?¡±

 Chapter 694 - The Most Precious

    <h4>Chapter 694: The Most Precious</h4>

    Qin Feng smirked as if nothing had happened. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Just a rare beast.¡±

    ¡°Alright, nudge me whenever you need my help.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Qin Feng hung up. He decided against telling Regent Tung about Kounsat¡¯s death.

    Kounsat was a far more difficult opponent than Obol. Tung Yang would think too much if he knew Qin Feng faced little resistance in killing Kounsat.

    The regent would probably be upset and doubt his own ability.

    Besides...

    Qin Feng raised his hand and a golden chain appeared in front of his eye. There were a total of twelve pieces of spatial equipment hanging on it.

    Each of the spatial equipment was at least one hundred meters cubic in size. In it stored the materials Kounsat had been collecting his entire life. It would not be difficult to imagine how lucrative the total loots were in twelve of them. More importantly, since Kounsat was a Dark Coalition member, his wealth was off the record. His entire asset was stored in the form of power credits.

    In short, Qin Feng had just inherited the entire fortune that belonged to an A-tier ability user, which was worth at least a few tens of trillions.

    However, Qin Feng was more interested in the S-tier puppet.

    He lifted the robe covering the puppet¡¯s face.

    ¡®It¡¯s him, the God of Carnage!¡¯

    This person was an infamous S-tier around Western America. Even his descendants had substantial influence in the alliance over there. No wonder Kounsat was always on the wanted list.

    Though the God of Carnage was only a corpse now, S-tier aptitude users unquestionably still possessed a very strong physique. There were even rumors saying that their bodies would not decay for centuries.

    Qin Feng snorted at those baseless tales. It had only been two hundred years since the first rift urred. How could people possibly know that the body would still be intact after centuries?

    ¡®Luckily Kounsat did not introduce ptomaine to this corpse. Otherwise, I would not be taking it.¡¯

    Qin Feng used his consciousness to scan the interior of the spatial equipment and almost vomited.

    Kounsat was sick. His spatial equipment was mostly upied by corpses and numerous kinds of poisons or unknown disgusting liquids. Only a small fraction of the space was used to house beast materials.

    Qin Feng withheld his revulsion and pulled out a coffin from one of the storages. Hemanded the S-tier corpse to lie down in the coffin and put it right back into the same spatial equipment.

    He then ced the entire chain into his pocket.

    Because of Kounsat¡¯s sudden visit, Qin Feng¡¯s mind was now brought onto another person.

    ¡®What a cunning guy this Obol is. No matter how my fight with Kounsat had turned out, he did not lose anything.¡¯

    ¡®No matter what, B-tiers like me would still be at a disadvantage among the A-tiers.¡¯

    ¡®If that¡¯s so...¡¯

    Qin Feng gave it some thought and then ced several materials into the Magical Tesseract. He made two robes simr to that of Kounsat¡¯s, then passed one to Bai Li and wore the other one.

    ¡°What are you doing? Are you pretending to be the guy that you have just killed?¡± Bai Li looked at the robe peculiarly. She put it on despite not liking the design.

    ¡°This is just to avoid trouble. It would be a plus if we can trick Obol.¡± Qin Feng smiled deviously.

    ¡°That would be nice!¡± Bai Li thought that Qin Feng¡¯s idea was good.

    They had the ck robes on and were further shrouded by dark ability. An outsider could hardly detect their true strength. Besides, they were also surrounded by numerous dark beasts. No one would suspect that they were actually just B-tiers. Tung Yang, who was perhaps the only one that was aware, also would not expose their disguise if he were to see them.

    ***

    Time flew by quickly. It had been one whole day since the opening of the rift and the appearance of the Divine Mountain. The beast horde along the coast had gradually subsided. People cared more about the light pir that had broken through the sky.

    Because they knew it was in the direction of the Abyssal Ocean, some aptitude users gave up on investigating.

    Of course, not everyone was deterred by the location. A-tiers and B-tiers from all around the world had gathered near the ocean.

    The number of users on the Divine Mountain had increased exponentially over time.

    Qin Feng belonged to that group that was too afraid toe in his past life.

    Moreover, most of the information he gathered then were stories posted by others on the battle. God knew how true those stories were.

    Besides, the news was quickly overshadowed by other major eventster on. To Qin Feng, it was just another bizarre incident in this world that had nothing to do with him.

    Things changed drastically in this present life. The Divine Mountain had everything to do with Qin Feng now.

    Currently, there were about two hundred horrendous beasts around Qin Feng. Five of them were beast emperors, eighty were beast kings, and the rest were beast generals.

    This number of beast generals and beast kings could hardly be found in other locations. This was the Divine Mountain, where legends were destined to be born.

    Beasts evolved continuously on this holynd. That was why rare breeds like generals, kings, or even emperors were rtivelymon here

    ¡°It¡¯s at my limit. But I think this amount will do.¡± Qin Feng had maximized his conscious power usage. He retained 10% of it as a precautionary measure. Furthermore, he could always replenish his lost conscious power through his Absorption Ability.

    Commanding these many beasts at once was indeed taxing. It was hard to me Kounsat for using only five B-tier beasts as puppets despite being an A-tier. It must have taken a toll on him to manipte an S-tier corpse. Kounsat evencked Qin Feng¡¯s ability to recover on the go.

    With this many bodyguards, Qin Feng could explore the mountain fearlessly now.

    Actually, Qin Feng had already greatly altered the beast demographic of this mountain. Because of his excessive hunting, a lot of beasts had been wiped off from the mountain surface. That had lessened a lot of burden from other A-tiers.

    With an easier andrger space to operate, the A-tiers cleaned up the mountain at a quicker rate too. Hence, the number of beasts dropped at an even more significant rate. The resources of the mountain were depleted rapidly in the hands of the A-tiers.

    Though Qin Feng knew what was happening, he could not do anything to stop it. He could not kill all the A-tiers that had entered the mountain.

    The only thing that he should do now was to approach the center of the mountain as fast as possible. He knew that the best treasure wasid there.

    The nearer he got to the center, the stronger he could sense a pure form of energy. The temperature around him was getting higher too.

    Finally, he came out from the forest and reached the center peak of the Divine Mountain. There was a natural giant pit there.

    The structure was not apparent from afar.

    Miraculously, the pit was filled with golden sand.

    ¡®Glittering Gold Sand!¡¯

    Qin Feng could barely hold down his excitement seeing the sand.

    This precious item was being passed down generation after generation by some ancient families.

    Qin Feng remembered that a small bottle of this gold sand was auctioned after the battle at the Divine Mountain ended. Its value bloated to 1 trillion and yet numerous C-tier families were wrestling for it at all cost.

 Chapter 695 - Glittering Gold Sand

    <h4>Chapter 695: Glittering Gold Sand</h4>

    A few thousand billion was perhaps all a C-tier family possessed. These families were surrendering their entire family fortune in exchange for such a small amount of sand.

    Qin Feng was a rtively low-ss loner then. One trillion was not the amount he could ever dream of earning his entire lifetime.

    Not that he would have any use for the sand, anyway. The Glittering Gold Sand was a militarymodity rather than an asset.

    This sand could change the energy core of an area.

    The reason why Dragon Capital could be themand center of Huaxia was because the energy core there was the most powerful.

    With the sand, Qin Feng could now build a second Dragon Capital.

    ¡°Bai Li, quick. Collect all of them.¡±

    Bai Li shook her head and said, ¡°That¡¯s impossible. This material would make my spatial runes copse.¡±

    Qin Feng was startled as he looked at Bai Li.

    Bai Li exined, ¡°Though my spatial runes are powerful, there are still things that they can¡¯t contain. This material did exist in my inherited memory. I can absorb them slowly and thus increase my storage little by little, but it would not be possible to collect all of them.¡±

    It was entirely out of Qin Feng¡¯s expectations.

    ¡°Then how much can you carry?¡± Qin Feng asked quickly.

    Bai Li answered, ¡°Let me finish. This unique material has a great mass and not many materials can hold them. But since they are exposed in the opening, they would react with the surrounding elements and create materials that wouldplement them. We can deposit such elements into the Magical Tesseract and turn them into a bottle for the sand.¡±

    ¡°I see. That¡¯s unheard of.¡±

    Though Qin Feng was considered knowledgeable, he had only been an A-tier for two years in his past life before being reborn. He would not have learned everything in hisst life.

    Luckily, they had Bai Li¡¯s inherited memory to the rescue.

    Qin Feng used his consciousness to scan the area and quickly discovered a transparent material lining the edge of the sandpit. He now knew that the crystal bottle holding the sand in his memory was not crystal but this new element.

    Qin Feng unsheathed the Verdant Emperor Saber and sliced arge piece of it. He then inserted the material into the Tesseract and produced a giant bottle.

    He then tried to move the bottle with telepathy but realized that the bottle was heavier than he thought.

    ¡°Argh!¡± His conscious power was defeated by the weight of the bottle.

    ¡°This material is rather heavy too. You cannot use such arge piece at once.¡±

    Bai Li raised his hand and cut a much smaller piece using her spatial runes. She then put the material carefully into the Tesseract, which resulted in a box the size of a small pail. She did not try to control it with her consciousness. Instead, she bowed down and transferred the sand into the box with her bare hands. It seemed like a strenuous effort.

    Qin Feng knew that though Bai Limands spatial ability, her physique as a mutated beast wasparable to himself despite her appearance. Even she found it taxing to move the sand.

    This material was truly remarkable.

    ¡°I understand. How about this, you make the container and I will do the filling. Then you transfer the box into your spatial dimension.¡± Qin Feng decided to split the task to speed up the process.

    Otherwise, he could not hoard the sand all by himself when others arrived at the center. Besides, he wanted to hide from others the fact that he owned so much Gold Sand.

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Qin Feng spread his beasts and released a powerful dark ability to shroud the area.

    If anyone were to approach the area, the puppets and the fog would deter them. If they insist on breaking through, then Qin Feng would not hesitate to kill them.

    As such, Qin Feng and Bai Li collected the sand restlessly for two straight days.

    ¡°Ugh!¡± Qin Feng moved the sand painstakingly near the pit. His arm muscles had inted a lot the past two days. The repetitivebor seemed to have enhanced his physical strength greatly.

    Still, they had only removed less than one-tenth of the total. It was simply too slow.

    Moreover, they could hardly fend off the outsiders now. There were already three A-tiers who had discovered the dark fog lingering at the center of the mountain but were chased away by Qin Feng using the puppets. One of them was only scared away after Qin Feng deployed the God of Carnage.

    Attentions over the fogged area were intensifying as time passed.

    ¡°Kounsat is still hogging the area. He must have found something.¡±

    ¡°This is a Divine Mountain. There must be unthinkable treasures hidden in the center area.¡±

    ¡°We should coborate and chase him away.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. So what if he has an S-tier puppet? Kounsat himself is very weak. We can kill him easily as long as we contain the S-tier puppet.¡±

    ¡°Yea, agree!¡±

    Five A-tiers immediately joined up and prepared to break through the puppet barrier set up by Qin Feng.

    As he finished loading another box, Qin Feng clearly sensed imminent danger.

    Bai Li became vignt too.

    ¡°There are five A-tiers iing. They are here to kill.¡±

    ¡°I sensed it too. Well, I guess that¡¯s it.¡±

    Qin Feng nced at the remaining sand inside the pit. He was reluctant to leave them behind. This was probably the first time he was unable to hog everything ever since he was reborn.

    Nheless, he had no choice but to escape now.

    Qin Feng did not want to expose himself. It was unwise to attract unwanted attention. The best way to umte wealth and power was to do so quietly.

    ¡°Retreat!¡± Qin Fengmanded and gathered all his puppets in one ce. He then ordered them to self-explode.

    The bodies of the death puppets eroded but an energy core once again condensed at the center of the puppet crowd. This undead puppet army relied on this core to sustain theirbat powers.

    Qin Feng wasted nothing and absorbed the energy core into his conscious realm.

    He and Bai Li then took down their robes.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Bai Li¡¯s spatial runes covered the two of them and they promptly teleported to the perimeter of the ind.

    Afterward, five A-tiers arrived at the center with ease.

    They finally found the Glittering Gold Sand after the fog dispersed.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Kounsat? Has he run off?¡±

    ¡°The puppets have self-exploded. There are traces of spatial runes too.¡±

    ¡°D*mn! He fled so decisively. By the way, this thing here must be very valuable.¡±

    ¡°Take it, quick!¡±

    The A-tiers did not hesitate and got to work immediately. Soon, they too realized that the sand was immovable using their conscious energy alone. As such, they could only start collecting with their bare hands. That was when they realized how heavy the sand was.

    The small bottle of sand Qin Feng saw in his previous life was not a tiny amount leaked by the upper echelon. In fact, that was exactly the amount an A-tier could manage. Not many aptitude users, including ancient warriors, could match Qin Feng¡¯s otherworldly physique, after all.

 Chapter 696 - Blasting Spatial rune equipment

    <h4>Chapter 696: sting Spatial rune equipment</h4>

    Of course, none of them knew that the sand had to be first contained using the special element. They directly loaded the Gold Sand into their spatial equipment and the result was conceivable.

    Boom!

    A spatial rune equipment sted and created a spatial rift that opened up to a hundred-meter long.

    Herbs and fruits inside the spatial rune equipment dropped out from it, while the A-tier user was killed on the spot by the rift¡¯s ripping force.

    The rift came and went rapidly. All that was left were the items in it, as well as ample power credits.

    Based on its volume, one cubic meter power credit was equivalent to one hundred thousand power credits, which tranted to ten billion in cash.

    That person¡¯s spatial equipment contained at least 30 trillion power credits. The explosion sted the power credits the size of two to three hundred cubic meters high into the air.

    The unexpected development caught the eyes of everyone on the ind.

    It was unusual to see a spatial rune equipment go off like this. The credits burst out from the equipment refracted the light and resulted in glimmers all over the sky above the center peak. Everyone realized that something huge must be going on up there.

    Qin Feng was at the shore near the foot of the Divine Mountain. About a hundred meters from them was another group of people. They were five B-tiers from the Huaxia Alliance.

    They watched the anomaly excitedly but immediately dropped their heads down.

    ¡°There must be treasure up there.¡±

    ¡°I believe those are power credits. Don¡¯t tell me there is a power credit mine inside the mountain!?¡±

    ¡°Who knows? Everything happening here is unreal.¡±

    ¡°Unfortunately, that¡¯s beyond our reach. We are barely staying alive at this perimeter.¡±

    ¡°Be careful, beasts areing our way. We can no longer fall back. The beast in the ocean is far scarier. Come, over here.¡±

    The party left in a hurry with tails in between their legs.

    Truth be told, only A tiers were qualified to join the war in the center region.

    Qin Feng looked up toward the explosion site. Someone must have stored the sand directly into his/her spatial equipment. The st petrified Qin Feng. If not because of Bai Li, he might have faced the same terrible fate. It would be silly to die in such a way in this second life.

    The A-tiers loitering around the Divine Mountain had gathered at the center region because of the explosion. Tung Yang was one of them.

    Tung Yang met two other A-tier ability users there who Qin Feng knew from before.

    They were the group leader of the north and west region at the Dragon Capital Prodigy Tournament, respectively¡ªA3-tier water ability user Nangong Shi and A3-tier ancient warrior Ge Lang.

    At the moment, Nangong Shi was still not the regent of the north, while Ge Lang had always been a general.

    Since Nangong Shi was a water ability user, he was the first who answered the SOS call when the danger urred in the east. He used a spatial waymark to first travel to East Sea City, then departed to the Divine Mountain in a deep-sea vessel. Thus, he reached the ind only a few hourster than Tung Yang and Qin Feng.

    Ge Lang arrived a littleter than Nangong Shi. They scattered around the ind and had not met each other until now.

    In fact, Ge Lang was the first batch that had reached the center peak. He was one of them who wished to kill Kounsat badly.

    Besides the giant pit, one of the first six users there was dead. The other five had long split the belongings left behind by the dead A-tier. Tung Yang and Nangong Shi did not ask about the dead man or his possessions. Instead, they both looked at Ge Lang.

    ¡°Hi, Ge Lang!¡± Nangong Shi greeted him.

    ¡°General Ge, you are here too!¡± Tung Yang waved hi to Ge Lang too.

    ¡°Hi, there! I didn¡¯t see you earlier. Nangong is here too.¡± Ge Lang greeted back.

    ¡°What happened just now? Such a bigmotion,¡± Nangong Shi asked. Tung Yang listened attentively beside him.

    Ge Lang answered gratingly, ¡°Earlier, it was Kounsat, the dark puppeteer from the Western American Alliance that shrouded this area with a dark ability. Not only that but he also had hundreds of beasts surrounding the region. I gathered a party and tried to break through but he ran before we reached him...¡±

    Ge Lang then spoke about the sand inside the pit. He believed that ¡°Kounsat¡± must have taken away a substantial amount after hogging the ce for two full days. Apparently, the dark puppeteer knew how to transfer the sand safely. The five of them became more cautious with the sand now that an A-tier had paid his life for it.

    Tung Yang found something odd in Ge Lang¡¯s description.

    ¡®Hundreds of monsters? Dark ability? That sounds a lot like Qin Feng. Have they seen him around here?¡¯

    Qin Feng had killed so many monsters that he had single-handedly reduced one-fifth of the beasts on the ind.

    Meanwhile, A-tier beasts that were untouchable had been detected by the human adventurers and were consciously avoided.

    With more and more A-tiers joining the expedition, even the A-tier beasts were being hunted now. So currently, the ind was not as dangerous as it was in the beginning.

    Tung Yang was busy collecting herbs and got further and further away from Qin Feng. He was unable to keep track of Qin Feng¡¯s whereabouts constantly since thetter could conceal himself with dark ability.

    Since the danger level of the ind had gone down drastically, there was no reason for Tung Yang to keep following Qin Feng.

    Tung Yang immediately suspected Qin Feng after he heard Ge Lang¡¯s story.

    ¡®If Qin Feng really was behind this...¡¯ Tung Yang could not begin to fathom how strong Qin Feng actually was, or how far he would go in the future.

    ¡°General, are you sure you the person you saw was Kounsat?¡±

    ¡°I am pretty certain. If not because of the S-tier puppet he controls, I would have long killed him and need not ask for help from the others.¡±

    Though Ge Lang was boasting, the S-tier puppet he mentioned cleared Tung Yang¡¯s doubt.

    ¡®S-tier? Then it¡¯s probably not Qin Feng...¡¯

    Tung Yang shook away the idea.

    ¡°Whatever it is, he is lucky to get away this time. The more pressing issue we have now is how the hell do we move this thing? I only managed to put in a handful of this sand into my spatial rune equipment. One spatial rune equipment can only hold that much?¡±

    ¡°How much spatial rune equipment do we need then to empty this pit?¡±

    ¡°It irks me more now thinking about that bastard Kounsat.¡±

    Right now, none of the A-tier dared to touch the Glittering Gold Sand recklessly. They were busy studying how to bring the sand home.

    This was when Tung Yang switched on the small device Qin Feng gave him before.

    ¡°Qin Feng, where are you now?¡± Tung Yang asked.

    Qin Feng received the call and wondered, ¡®Has he found out?¡¯

    ¡°I am at the east side of the mountain. What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    ¡°I suppose you are aware of the situation here at the center.¡±

    ¡°Yea, I did see it. What happened over there?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s some good stuff here. You shoulde join us. But leave your puppets behind. This ce was barricaded by a dark ability user earlier, he had hindered others for two days. You may raise suspicion and hostility from others if you carry the puppets along.¡± Tung Yang paused for a while, then continued, ¡°However, worry not. I have another two A-tiers on my side too. I am confident that A-tiers from other regions won¡¯t harm you under our watch.¡±

 Chapter 697 - The Sound of Song, the Sound of Crying

    <h4>Chapter 697: The Sound of Song, the Sound of Crying</h4>

    Qin Feng listened to what Tung Yang had to say and did not think it was odd. Instead he felt another kind of emotion, and he soon realized what this feeling was.

    Tung Yang wanted to return the favor to Qin Feng for saving him.

    On the surface, Qin Feng¡¯s strength might only seem B-tier and it was unwise to bring him into the thick of things as someone of that perceived strength would have just been cannon fodder.

    However, with Tung Yang here nobody dared to try anything!

    This was the overwhelming suppressive force of an A-tier!

    Qin Feng¡¯s thoughts shed through his mind before replying, ¡°That¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll use my dark runes and get over there soon!¡±

    ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll be waiting!¡± Tung Yang said.

    The two ended the call and Qin Feng took Bai Li with him as they went toward the central area.

    He slowed himself down and after twenty minutes they arrived at a giant pit. This time, hundreds of people were gathered here. In addition to some A-tiers, there were powerful B-tiers in the area as well, some of them were here to shadow the A-tiers.

    When Qin Feng and Bai Li appeared, they soon saw Tung Yang and headed over.

    ¡°Regent Tung!¡±

    Tung Yang beamed a kind smile and looked at Bai Li curiously. ¡°Who is this?¡±

    ¡°She is Bai Li, my girlfriend. She rushed over here earlier!¡± Due to Bai Li not showing up in the previous battle Tung Yang did not know about Bai Li¡¯s existence so he was a little confused.

    However, there were two people nearby that were both taken aback.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±

    These two people were Nan Gongshi and Ge Lang!

    ¡°Lord Nan Gong and General Ge!¡± Qin Feng greeted them but he did not receive them warmly and was only being polite.

    Nan Gongshi said with surprise, ¡°Qin Feng, you... you¡¯ve reached B-tier?¡±

    ¡°Fortunately I¡¯ve got the chance to visit the Abyssal Ocean and managed to rank up!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    ¡°Haha, and what a great opportunity that was. This kid managed to kill a highly ranked A-tier beast emperor in the Abyssal Ocean!¡±

    ¡°What? Which beast emperor was it?¡±

    ¡°The Glutton Leviathan, it¡¯s dead now but... even after its death it was transformed into a deep-sea vessel! Qin Feng has a bright future and his organization is quite impressive!¡± Tung Yang had originally wanted to mention the incident with the undead puppet but he decided to keep this matter a secret and quickly changed the subject by expressing his appreciation.

    While the people from the other alliances were not sure what Tung Yang was on about, it was clear to them that he was proud of Qin Feng. Perhaps he was optimistic about his subordinate and if so then the other A-tiers naturally would not embarrass Qin Feng.

    On the contrary, Ge Lang¡¯s heart was beating uncontrobly fast at this time.

    ¡°How can this be? This kid¡¯s getting strong so quickly? It hasn¡¯t even been half a year since the Prodigy Tournament until now!¡±

    This was somethingpletely unbelievable.

    Moreover, Qin Feng had slighted Ge Lang before and with how fast he was developing it was inevitable that Ge Lang was going to fall into a crisis.

    ¡®Last time he challenged me and helped that wench Shang Han. Now that he¡¯s stronger, would he try to show off in front of me?¡¯

    A sinister light glinted in Ge Lang¡¯s eyes as if he was trying to think of ways to get rid of the supreme prodigy that was Qin Feng.

    However someone soon interrupted Ge Lang¡¯s thoughts!

    That was because people recognized what the Glittering Gold Sand bore. After all, everyone present was well informed and everyone knew that for many things they had to rely on each other. While spatial rune equipment might not be able to carry such things then what else would be able to?

    These crystals quickly attracted many¡¯s attention. It was peculiar that such a thing could carry the heavy sand without being burdened. Besides that, the crystals had a malleable shape. What people could do was wrap the crystal¡¯s shape into a bowl before putting the sand in, closing up said crystal andpletely concealing the sand¡¯s aura.

    They even took out their spatial rune equipment for testing and realized that even though the amount of sand they collected had exceeded the usual limit, there seemed to be nothing wrong.

    At this time, they had found a surefire way to carry it!

    Furthermore, the people present were powerful individuals. With the level of their consciousness they had they quickly figured it out.

    ¡°So, it¡¯s like this!¡± Tung Yang said when he saw this scene and secretly chided himself for not having thought of that earlier.

    ¡°What strange contradictions that coexist with one another! It seems that the saying ¡®Using softness to ovee strength¡¯ can be quite literal!¡± Nan Gongshi said.

    ¡°Stop talking nonsense, lets collect this quickly!¡± Ge Lang said.

    ¡°Oh, right, Qin Feng you should have this as well,¡± Tung Yang said, ¡°Take this as a reward for defending the East Sea City!¡±

    Tung Yang winked mischievously, this old man was a sly one.

    He was not thanking Qin Feng for ying the Glutton Leviathan, he was thanking Qin Feng for scaring off Obol.

    ¡°Okay, thank you Regent!¡± Qin Feng said.

    After that Qin Feng asked Bai Li to shape the crystals into a bottle, but this time the bottle was only about the size of a perfume vial!

    This greatly saved up on materials and Qin Feng was not stingy. He distributed some to Nan Gongshi and Ge Lang which seemed to improve Ge Lang¡¯s mood a little.

    ¡®That¡¯s it. Qin Feng must have been using Shang Han as a stepping stone and he¡¯s actually showing me some respect. Perhaps I¡¯ve misjudged this junior!¡¯

    It was just that Ge Lang had not said anything, there was a feeling deep within him that did not want to offend Qin Feng.

    That was because Ge Lang understood that Qin Feng was a powerful prodigy, someone that might as well be the emperor-level among the human race. In this case, the current B-tier that he was could challenge much greater things.

    Ge Lang was in no position to challenge Qin Feng. He would not have been strong enough!

    As such, he made the excuse that Qin Feng was not intentionally trying to offend him and let his grudge go.

    Then, several people came over to the central area to frantically dig up the sand. Although the energy here was the richest, nobody knew why no ultra beasts had approached the area and everyone was at peace.

    Qin Feng had a feeling that these kinds of treasures might cause gic shifts that were too much for such beasts to handle!

    If that were the case then if ultra beasts did not approach it meant that these things could bring with them good fortune and ward off danger!

    However, this calm onlysted for a few hours. It was not because the sand had been fully collected, but that they were heavy and difficult to collect, so it would take them a long time!

    Only a few hours had passed and they had barely scratched the surface.

    At this moment, Bai Li¡¯s ears perked up and listened for a moment before saying, ¡°You guys hear that?¡±

    Qin Feng was confused. ¡°Hear what?¡±

    ¡°Huh, it sounds like singing, but it also sounds like crying!¡±

    When that was said, Qin Feng did not react yet but Tung Yang stood up so fast that the air around him made a swishing sound. His expression was strangely serious!

 Chapter 698 - History has been Changed

    <h4>Chapter 698: History has been Changed</h4>

    ¡°Not good!¡± Color drained from Tung Yang¡¯s face!

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Nan Gongshi and Ge Lang both asked at the same time.

    Tung Yang was shrouded by a gloomy expression as he said, ¡°It¡¯s the Siren Cherub!¡±

    This name had a terrible legend in the Abyssal Ocean, not to mention it was a bad omen.

    It was not as horrifying as the Glutton Leviathan but all of the deep-sea vessels that encountered it were sunk. Hearing its name being said made several people turn pale.

    At this time, two kilometers from the Divine Mountain, a baby could be seen floating on the ocean¡¯s surface.

    It had delicate snow white skin, sea-blue eyes and long golden hair. Anyone who saw this baby would undoubtedly agree that it was an adorable little girl. Besides that, this baby¡¯s lower body was covered in golden scales and had a fish-like tail! It was essentially a mermaid!

    However,pared to her seemingly soft body, her hands had sharp emerald ws that were so sharp that they looked like they could slice through rocks!

    Besides that, this adorable baby was actually a giant!

    The baby was ten meters long from head to tail-end and her baby-like head was about three meters wide. What a terribly scary creature!

    ¡°La~¡±

    She sang beautifully, lulling the sea beasts around her to close their eyes and fall into a deep slumber!

    That was not so bad. What was bad about this slumber was that it couldst about half a month to a year, maybe even forever. During this time the sea beasts would either starve or get eaten by other sea beasts.

    After swimming for a while, the Siren Cherub seemed like she had seen something and her expression changed to that of an unhappy one. Maybe she just saw a very ugly fish.

    ¡°Waaaaa!¡±

    The Siren Cherub opened up her mouth and started crying. The sea beasts up to a kilometer away opened their now bloodshot eyes and immediately started attacking each other.

    This was the Siren Cherub¡¯s special move!

    An A5-tier beast emperor that had a horrifyingly vast consciousness and a dangerous charming ability!

    The charming ability was not so dangerous when it was at low levels, but when it had reached the level that the Siren Cherub had, whoever had such power could control beasts up to a thousand meters away with their voice.

    When she sang, she lulled people into an endless sleep. When she cried, everyone fell into madness!

    When encountering this ultra beast, those aptitude users often fought each other to the death!

    It was a dangerous beast no doubt!

    Not even A-tier aptitude users could resist the Siren Cherub¡¯s call for long!

    When Qin Feng heard the words, his expression fell.

    History has changed!

    Qin Feng had not heard about the Siren Cherub appearing in this part of the ocean before but when he thought about it, it was only natural.

    That was because the Glutton Leviathan was dead!

    Once the Glutton Leviathan had died this area was no longer owned by anyone. It was normal for other powerful sea beasts to try and expand their territory.

    ¡°What do we do now?¡± Ge Lang looked at Nan Gongshi and Tung Yang. The other two looked around them and saw that there was still so a huge amount of sand remaining, they were unwilling to leave.

    ¡°With the amount of A-tiers present, maybe we can deal with the Siren Cherub!¡± Nan Gongshi said.

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that in this scenario if the A-tiers can¡¯t resist it we¡¯d have more enemies to fight when we try to kill each other!¡± Qin Feng said coldly.

    He had already made preparations if he were to run into the Siren Cherub. If it were to appear he would immediately crush his spatial waymark and return back to Fengli City.

    ¡°You better prepare for evacuation!¡± Qin Feng warned.

    It was at this moment that the entire Divine Mountain shuddered.

    Boom!

    The Divine Mountain had emerged from the bottom of the sea. Its surface had been at the mercy of ultra beasts and spirit herbs burrowing into it and while it looked to be solid its internal structure was actually very weak.

    As such, this violent seismic shake causedndslides in many ces.

    However, people did not pay attention to this seismic activity. That was because they could feel a terrible force.

    Qin Feng poured energy into his feet to stabilize himself and rushed to the edge of the huge pit.

    He quickly stepped onto arge tree and looked into the distance, noticing a small ind approaching.

    ¡°The Devil Mountain!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart skipped a beat.

    The Devil Mountain was not like the stingrays that Qin Feng saw, or better known as devil fish as a collective term for those kinds of ultra beasts. The Devil Mountain was one of a kind and in truth nobody knew what kind of monster it was.

    It was a title that only belonged to the ultra beast in front of him!

    An A4 tier beast emperor that was a step away from bing a beast deity. One of the top ten terrifying monsters in the Abyssal Ocean.

    The Devil Mountain was twice the size of the Glutton Leviathan, which was evidence enough for how scary this thing was.

    Its body was draped in a collection of ck stones, giving it the appearance to that of a mountain!

    And it had already beached itself on the Divine Mountain¡¯s shore.

    These A-tiers did not hear the Siren Cherub¡¯s singing, nor had they heard about the legends of the monsters that lived in the Abyssal Ocean.

    However, all it took was a quick whiff of the Devil Mountain¡¯s aura for them to realize just how terrifying this beast was.

    On the shore, countless B-tiers screamed in terror as they tried to escape. They did not expect that when the Devil Mountain was moving it would ssh up sand from its body to cover these B-tiers. In an instant, when they were buried by the sand they turned into stone and became motionless. The Devil Mountain went over and subsumed these B-tiers into its body, turning these B-tiers into its nourishment.

    However, this was far from over.

    An extremely loud roar came and when Qin Feng turned to look on the other side of the mountain he saw a terrible flesh-colored beast float up to the surface nearby.

    The beast had orange spots on it that functioned as its eyes underwater and it had five-meter thick tentacles that numbered more than a hundred!

    Its body was rtively small, with only a diameter of a hundred meters which made it roughly the size of a children¡¯s yground, but its tentacles could extend up to a thousand kilometers.

    ¡°The Hundred-Armed Glob!¡±

    Qin Feng naturally recognized what was happening!

    The three beasts of the Abyssal Ocean had unexpectedly arrived at this point.

    ¡°Ll!¡± The Siren Cherub¡¯s voice gradually got closer, its transparent waves of mind-bending energy twisting into people¡¯s minds.

    ¡°Brwweh!¡± The Hundred-Armed Glob did not seem to back down and twisted its hundred arms together as a blue light burst into the air.

    Boom!

    The Devil Mountain also rushed over, its body scattering its dark sand and spreading it out into the air.

    For a moment, transparent waves, blue light and dark sand collided together.

    These three forces shed and there seemed to be no immediate victor.

    They were fighting each other,peting.

    It was just that under this kind of overwhelming force, the aptitude users on the Divine Mountain were faced with a massive amount of pressure!

    ¡°Oh no! Righteous Barrier!¡±

    ¡°Aura Domain!¡±

    Everyone¡¯s faces paled as they quickly activated their aura domains.

    ¡°World Ame!¡± Qin Feng released his own ability of course but this time the range was very small, only about five meters wide just to counter this iing power.

    He quickly took out his spatial waymark and his consciousness surged into it.

    It was a shame that the moment the spatial waymark was broken, no spatial passage appeared.

    It was blocked!

    The pressure outside was just too much!

    Trantor¡¯s note: These few ocean chapters have only drawn out my darkest nightmares. The deep ocean scares me.

 Chapter 699 - The Clash of The Emperors

    <h4>Chapter 699: The sh of The Emperors</h4>

    However, all of this also meant that the other aptitude users had no means of escaping as well!

    ¡°Everyone group up! Otherwise we¡¯re going to get killed by these things! Maintainbat effectiveness and only take action when necessary!¡±

    ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll team up!¡±

    ¡°Okay, I agree!¡±

    ¡°Agreed!¡±

    The A-tier aptitude users quickly ryed their thoughts to one another with their consciousness. They knew that this was not a time for them to fight one another. If they wanted to survive they had to team up!

    Now, the B-tiers had their backbone.

    An A-tier and ten B-tiers could take down a B-tier beast emperor.

    However, an A-tier could not possibly take on an A-tier ultra beast, let alone an A-tier beast emperor!

    But among the people present, many of them were powerful individuals. They had reached a level where they might pose a mild threat if they worked together. If hundreds of them worked together, they might be able to hang on.

    They did not need to fight the monsters, all they had to do was to escape this ce and that would be enough!

    Qin Feng dropped down from his perch on the tree and returned to Tung Yang¡¯s side. This time everyone had abandoned their previous doubts and were standing together!

    Hundreds of people did not take up much space and one of the ability users activated a barrier using water runes.

    Then other ability users poured their consciousness into the barrier to strengthen it.

    ¡°Open!¡±

    An A-tier ancient warrior unleashed his internal force and with him as the center many people melded into this internal force and used their own to spread its protection.

    With twoyers of defense, the B-tiers were less tense but the atmosphere was still nerve-wracking. They still could not open a spatial passage and had to get far away from this ce.

    Those who were not in the central area were the least fortunate. Especially the ones near the coast, all of the B-tiers on the coastline were dead or dying.

    All of a sudden, a loud screech was heard.

    ¡°Kraaaaw!¡±

    A seagull flew out from the Divine Mountain, this seabird had dark-blue feathers and each father seemed to be as sharp as a knife. As it spread its wings, it did not seem very big but it was a powerful beast nheless!

    An A7-tier beast emperor!

    ¡°Kraaaw!¡±

    With another loud screech the seagull suddenly grew from only being the size of ten meters to three hundred meters!

    All of a sudden the sky was filled with only the sight of dark-blue feathers!

    Size-changing was a skill that could be learned when an ultra beast was a beast king.

    However, this skill was only used on special asions. The Glutton Leviathan was able to use such a skill, but it naturally preferred to be at its maximum size and dominate everything within its territory as the king of the sea.

    The same went for the Devil Mountain and the Hundred-Armed Glob.

    The Siren Cherub was only ten meters in size as it lived on small inds. That was enough for it to deal with thend-based ultra beasts!

    The Dark Blue Seagull decided to make its home on the Divine Mountain. Since there was not much space for it tond it shrunk itself down. However once the battle erupted and it was disturbed by it, it naturally expanded into its maximum size!

    It circled around and soared toward the Siren Cherub.

    With how big its body was, the Siren Cherub wasparable to that of a small bug. Easily destroyed with a single peck.

    At this time the Siren Cherub also changed her body and took on the form of a one-hundred-meter tall giant.

    ¡°Ll!¡±

    A deafening voice burst out to attack the Dark Blue Seagull.

    The Dark Blue Seagull¡¯s body shuddered but it quickly woke up and continued its dive.

    The Siren Cherub stretched out her ws and grabbed the wings of the Seagull as it descended. The force of the grasp sent feathers that were two meters long flying through the air as blood flowed like a waterfall from the Seagull¡¯s wounds.

    The Siren Cherub was more than capable of using things other than its consciousness to kill something and was not to be underestimated.

    Of course, the Seagull that was infused with the energy from the Divine Mountain was not something to be scoffed at. It immediately brought its sharp beak down onto the Siren Cherub¡¯s scalp and tore off pieces of her long hair, sending blood sttering.

    ¡°Waaaah!¡± The Siren Cherub began to bawl.

    Blood began to fill the eyes of the Seagull as it bashed its beak onto its target over and over again, unable to control itself as the two battled for their lives.

    The Siren Cherub¡¯s skin might seem to be delicate and soft but it was something that could not be easily damaged.

    Meanwhile, from the forest came a loud roar as a huge Tyrannosaurus-like Tyrant Drake burst out to attack the Devil Mountain!

    Boom!

    Boom boom boom!

    The battle between the two caused the mountain to shake and the earth cracked

    Ka-rack!

    A crack ripped through the base of the Divine Mountain.

    The crack started to get bigger and bigger.

    ¡°Levitation!¡±

    An A-tier aptitude user activated wind runes to make everyone around her float upward.

    At this time, the entire mountain shook violently. Ultra beasts began to flee and aptitude users rushed toward the central area to seek shelter.

    However, the shelter they sought was about to be a nightmare.

    The Hundred-Armed Glob had made it to shore.

    Fortunately, as it was halfway through, a green burst of light surrounded it and people realized that the green light that blocked it came from a massive mutant nt.

    Since the nt had not reacted until now, it attacked neither humans nor beasts, the aptitude users had no idea that such a powerful creature existed in the Divine Mountain. People even thought that it was safe enough to have rested on what belonged to this nt¡¯s body.

    Now, it was toote to be scared.

    The mutant nt unleashed countless vines as it shed against the Hundred-Armed Glob.

    The aptitude users suddenly felt rather uplifted as they watched these titans sh.

    ¡°It¡¯s better if they just keep fighting one another, we can take advantage of this situation!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! Keep fighting!¡±

    ¡°Should we try to leave now? We must take advantage of this!¡±

    ¡°No, this is an opportunity. A great opportunity!¡±

    The crowd suddenly split into two factions. Some wanted to leave while some wanted to stay.

    However, time waited for no man.

    After ten minutes, an ultra beast was defeated.

    The Dark Blue Seagull was not the Siren Cherub¡¯s match and was eventually killed by her. She managed to grab onto its head with herrge mouth and tore its head off using her sharp teeth before chewing it and gulping down. It was then she set her blood visage in the direction of the Divine Mountain!

    Whoosh!

    A wave up to twenty meters tall appeared and brought the Siren Cherub forward. She had no legs, only a fish-like tail. If it was going to fight then naturally it would prefer to stay in the water.

    The terrifying tsunami flooded half of the Divine Mountain.

    As soil was washed away, it merged with the seawater and turned the surroundings into a muddy brown.

    Meanwhile, the battle of the other two beast emperors was over as well!

    The mutant nt was no match against the Hundred-Armed Glob and was torn to shreds. The Devil Mountain violently mmed forward and sent the Tyrant Drake flying through the air.

    ¡°Look out!¡±

    ¡°Scatter!¡±

    ¡°Iing!¡±

    The Tyrant Drake was sent flying toward where the aptitude users were.

    At that moment, all they could do was spread out so they would not get crushed.

    Boom!

    The Tyrant Drake fell into the pit of Glittering Gold Sand.

    Its aura was gone

    ¡°A chance!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s eyes lit up and he burst forth his most powerful ability without a second thought.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

 Chapter 700 - The Crumbling Divine Mountain

    <h4>Chapter 700: The Crumbling Divine Mountain</h4>

    The energy released by the death of the Tyrant Drake waspletely absorbed by Qin Feng.

    However, when the overgrown lizard crashed into the pit the Divine Mountain finally suffered from irreparable damage.

    Krak!

    The originally cracked ground began to crumble and a huge amount of seawater began to flood in!

    The hole where the sand was did not have the best stability and with seawater flooding in they began to split into three different parts.

    The Divine Mountain was starting to copse.

    All of a sudden it felt like it was hit by an earthquake asndslides urred all around and everything started falling apart.

    ¡°Hrrooaar!¡±

    The Devil Mountain was the first to rush forward but its body was too big and crushed the surroundingndscape, causing the Divine Mountain to sink even more.

    The Hundred-Armed Glob was better than the Devil Mountain and was the first to arrive near the pit. It started to use its multiple tentacles to reach for the Glittering Gold Sand!

    It knew that these were good things to have. There were ultra beasts that could only remain as they were the moment they were born but these creatures, with how massive and powerful they were, had experienced lifetimes worth and all they needed was that chance to ascend to be a beast deity!

    A beast deity was the pinnacle of this world, a true overlord.

    ¡°Stop that thing!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t let him take those things otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!¡±

    Whether it was the Hundred-Armed Glob evolving into an S-tier or a beast deity, it was something that nobody wanted to see!

    If so the Abyssal Ocean would be an even more terrifying ce.

    ¡°Chaarge!¡±

    ¡°Attack together!¡±

    ¡°Attack!¡±

    The A-tiers roared with the B-tiers not too far behind as countless people rushed forward.

    There were at least one hundred A-tiers present and the Hundred-Armed Glob just so happened to have a hundred tentacles. One person could stop each tentacle.

    Its tentacles wrapped around the sand but fortunately it was not strong enough to easily pick the sand up. The tentacles became the targets that the A-tiers locked onto.

    ¡°Wind Dragon Howl!¡±

    ¡°Thousand Shimmering des!¡±

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    Abilities wildly burst forward and the Hundred-Armed Glob¡¯s tentacles were torn apart one by one!

    In just one round the Hundred-Armed Glob had suffered massive damage.

    After all, this ce was a gathering area for people of the Human Alliance and Dark Coalition from the surrounding East Sea. They were all elites as well, how could they be weak if they had reached the A-tier?

    As such, the powers that were unleashed were terrifying.

    However, they obviously underestimated the Hundred-Armed Glob.

    The broken tentacles on the ground still continued to squirm while the beast quickly sprouted new tentacles from its stumps and continued to attack. It was not certain if the tentacles were still moving because they had touched the Golden Sand but they were still a problem regardless as they attacked everything within reach.

    The scene was a mess!

    ¡°B-tiers clean up those tentacles. Hurry!¡±

    Those B-tiers, whether they were ability users or ancient warriors, all brought out their firearms. Nobody dared to step forward. Some of them could not even handle the pressure brought on by this beast.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness surged as darkness rushed out to envelop those tentacles.

    ¡°Absorb! Absorb! Absorb!¡±

    One by one the tentacles dried up and withered away. Nobody knew where that ability came from, but they were d that whoever used it managed to get rid of one of their problems.

    However, it was too early for anyone to be d.

    Boom boom boom!

    A huge figure loomed into view. It was the Siren Cherub that had grown in size with its size-changing power!

    ¡°Ll!¡±

    A series of songs merged into people¡¯s consciousness, piercing through their protectiveyer.

    Qin Feng suddenly felt drowsy, and the thought of going to sleep manifested in his mind. He forced himself to wake up and stay awake but he could feel his head getting heavier and heavier.

    Terrifying!

    Qin Feng was anxious, he was no match against an A-tier beast emperor. He only got lucky with the Glutton Leviathan.

    ¡°Oi!¡±

    A scream exploded in Qin Feng¡¯s right ear, shaking him out of his sleepiness.

    When he lifted up his head, he saw Bai Li next to him. Even if the others could not feel it, Qin Feng felt as if Bai Li was absolutely furious.

    Her voice contained her consciousness, which was sharp and otherworldly as it passed into Qin Feng¡¯s ears.

    Not only that, the surrounding B-tiers that heard this also began to wake up. However, the others all crashed to the ground in slumber, curling up like dumplings or falling from the sky.

    And down below was just seawater!

    The Devil Mountain swam over and in just a few minutes they were all going to be dead!

    At that moment, the people that Bai Li woke up were terrified and felt that they were extremely lucky. They looked at her with grateful expressions.

    However, they did not have time to be awed by her beauty as the Siren Cherub made her second move!

    It looked like someone had noticed Bai Li¡¯s ability and was not happy about getting her power broken through and changed her pitch.

    ¡°Waaah!¡¯

    The Siren Cherub wailed and roused the sleeping aptitude users from their slumber. Their eyes were bloodshot as they looked at the people that surrounded them.

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    ¡°Yaaaaagh!¡±

    ¡°Death! Death!¡±

    At the same time, the people that Bai Li had just rescued turned toward her and Qin Feng, looking like they were ready to attack him.

    Qin Feng felt a cooling sensation in the depths of his soul and that feeling made him feel refreshed.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    They could not stay here!

    Qin Feng could not fight these terrible beasts at all!

    At this time, the Siren Cherub¡¯s consciousness enveloped the other A-tiers.

    While the few hundred people could take on the Hundred-Armed Glob, they definitely could not take on the Siren Cherub.

    There was no way they could resist the consciousness of an A-tier beast emperor.

    ¡°Raaaaah!¡± Ge Lang let out a roar as his eyes filled with madness. He threw all caution aside and rushed toward the Hundred-Armed Glob.

    This time he attacked wildly without the thought of defense.

    The Hundred-Armed Glob grabbed its attacker and broke through his internal force.

    St!

    As it swung its tentacle, the man was reduced to a puddle of meat.

    ¡°Ge Lang!¡±

    ¡°General Ge!

    Nan Gongshi and Tung Yang were both shocked!

    It was not just Ge Lang that had been driven mad. At this moment, other A-tiers were either rushing at the Hundred-Armed Glob with wild abandon or attacking each other!

    Within a minute the A-tiers had lost up to ten people.

    ¡°Not good, we need to escape!¡±

    Even if only one-tenth of the people had died, that was enough to scare them and deter them from continuing the fight.

    A-tiers were a precious resource. The stronger one was the less they should so easily throw their lives away. There were a lot of things they were still responsible for.

    As such, they made their decision almost immediately!

    Retreat!

    All of a sudden, the A-tiers fled in all directions.

    Qin Feng was faster than they were and he was out of range of the Divine Mountain.

    What made people sigh a breath of relief was that the three beast emperors did not try to chase after them.

    Perhaps, it was because these beasts regarded humans as just humble flies.

 Chapter 701 - The Biggest Winner

    <h4>Chapter 701: The Biggest Winner</h4>

    ¡°Roar!!!¡±

    ¡°Whoa!!!¡±

    ¡°Vroom!¡±

    Finally, all three beast emperors met with each other at the centre of the Divine Mountain, an outburst of horrifying energy had urred!

    Crack!

    The Divine Mountain was instantly shattered into pieces. The ground disintegrated into sand dunes, flourishing trees sank into the ocean, and newly-transformed ultra beasts that had just adapted to thend were drowned in the waters, their miserable shrieks were heard.

    The three overlords of the ocean had created an endless number of tsunami waves and soils were flushed apart, like the entire ocean region was being trapped in a sludge!

    Qin Feng and Bai Li had run for more than ten thousand meters, they could no longer see the presence of the others around them.

    ¡°Bai Li, bring out the Glutton!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Bai Li released the Glutton, Qin Feng instantly entered and drove it into the waters.

    It went deeper and deeper.

    The massive Glutton was concealed by activated dark runes, and it was hiding within the deep waters.

    Qin Feng moved back closer to the battle scene of the three ultra beasts.

    Of course, Qin Feng remained under the waters.

    Meanwhile, it was clearly seen that the Divine Mountain had copsed and fallen apart, but there were still all sorts of rare ores scattered around. They had yet to be washed away by the ocean waters, Qin Feng controlled the Glutton and immediately swallowed all of the ores.

    Bai Li also walked to the skull of the Glutton. It was a secured spot to drain the ocean waters and retain transmitted items, and it was also the spot to eject trash!

    Bai Li activated her consciousness to quickly filter out the items and included them in the spatial storage. Among the items that were swallowed by the Glutton, there were also some unexpected corpses of aptitude users.

    It was at that moment, the Glutton sank unexpectedly, without Qin Feng¡¯s control, it had taken a deep dive of hundreds of meters.

    ¡°Got it!¡± Qin Fengshed his vision toward the target, and repositioned the Glutton with its skull angled upward and its mouth wide open.

    Meanwhile, an aggregation of golden gravels had already umted on the surface of the metal shield.

    Without any doubt, it was exactly the Glittering Gold Sand.

    The Glittering Gold Sand was extremely heavy, and as soon as other soil particles were blown away, they immediately sank into the ocean bed. Qin Feng¡¯s return was to get his hand on the sand.

    As long as the correct spot was located, he could just wait for the sediment consolidation of the Glittering Gold Sand!

    Qin Feng knew that before his rebirth, the aptitude users had battled against the Glutton. The Glutton had then swallowed one third of the Glittering Gold Sand and disappeared quickly, based on the situation, it seemed like the insane weight of the sand had caused the Glutton to sink into the deep sea!

    Also, the disintegrated Divine Mountain wouldter draw interest of powerful A-tier aptitude users to risk themselves toe forward and excavate the precious Glittering Gold Sand.

    It was a true depiction of excavating sand from the vast ocean!

    It was at that moment; Qin Feng was suddenly shocked and immediately raised his head.

    As he subconsciously lifted his head, he scanned his surroundings using his consciousness and was met with a horrifying scene.

    All three beast emperors were descending quickly in an unusual way.

    Qin Feng noticed that the Siren Cherub¡¯s stomach was massively bloated while wrapping its arms around a gigantic crystal embedded with countless amounts of Glittering Gold Sand. Its high descending speed was unstoppable in any way, even its wiggling tail was unable to slow it down!

    The situation of the other two ultra beasts was even more wilder.

    From underneath, Qin Feng had a clear view into the internals of the Devil Mountain. He was shocked by the unidentified number of mouths that were cracked open, centred by a mouth that was sized above a hundred meter in width. Its translucent cores were exposed from within and the presence of the Glittering Gold Sand was asionally seen.

    It was the same for Hundred-Armed Glob, with its flexible body, it had formed into an unexpected triangr form to descend at high speed. Countless numbers of tentacles floated up, it was like the hair of a human being when skydiving from high altitude, all of them were blown upward.

    The three beast emperors descended in swift movements!

    They had then noticed Qin Feng¡¯s Glutton and instantly targeted him with their consciousness, their eyes opened wide as they stared at Qin Feng.

    It was about seven to eight thousand meters below the surface of the sea, a horrifying ce within the deep sea. A thump then echoed, finally, the three beast emperors arrived on the ground.

    Then, all the three beast emperors held still and stared at each other, none of them dared to make a move!

    Qin Feng witnessed the bizarre scene and was instantly left speechless!

    However, without any doubts, he rushed toward the Devil Mountain!

    Among the three beast emperors that had sunk into the deep sea, the Hundred-Armed Glob was still equipped with hundreds of moveable tentacles that could threaten him. The Siren Cherub was definitely not an easy target to tackle, Qin Feng would definitely avoid battling against her.

    As for the Devil Mountain, it could only overwhelm its opponent with its massive body structure. Under such a restricted situation, it was definitely the perfect opportunity to strike!

    Under Qin Feng¡¯s control, the Glutton rushed beside the Devil Mountain. It was struck by the instant vibration that felt like the initial eruption of an earthquake, however, it was unable to manoeuvre around.

    Then, stones on top of the Devil Mountain began to rain down and were tossed onto the body of the Glutton.

    The external structure of the Glutton suffered the hit and was potholed!

    However, the Glutton could no longer feel the pain, and it would definitely not be bothered by it. Instead, it then opened its mouth wide and bit onto the tip of the Devil Mountain.

    Despite having solid stones covering the externals, the internals of the Devil Mountain were actually its flesh!

    The bite had instantly exposed the red flesh, and fresh blood squirted all around!

    ¡°Aow...¡± The Devil Mountain let out a miserable growl as its struggle began to intensify.

    However, when faced with the undead puppet Glutton, the Devil Mountain¡¯s capability was almost at the same level as its opponent¡¯s. Both of them were trapped in a deadlock and unable to cause any harm to their opponent. The situation had gotten worse when the Glittering Gold Sand was within their bodies, it was impossible for them to move around.

    Indeed, the sand was capable of transforming the ultra beast but it was a time-consuming process. At that moment, Qin Feng would definitely not allow his opponent to have such an opportunity.

    The massive Glutton was entangled with the gigantic Devil Mountain, they tried to tear each other apart with rage!

    Two hourster, the Devil Mountain was finally defeated. The deep sea was dyed red by the fresh blood and pieces of fleshes that were torn apart; sat inside the Glutton, Qin Feng¡¯s physical capabilities had spiked and he broke through B1-tier!

    Of course, with Bai Li¡¯s presence, only parts of the flesh of the Devil Mountain were absorbed, and the rest of them were retrieved and kept by Bai Li!

    While the remaining sand from the internals of the Devil Mountain was swallowed by the Glutton!

    Underneath the deep sea, three majestic giant beasts were sprawled on the sea bed and remained stationed, and as one of them was eliminated, the consciousness of the other two were rapidly activated.

    They were extremely irritated.

    Within the Glutton, Bai Li held onto the Magical Tesseract to create crystal vials, while Qin Feng retrieved and collected the Glittering Gold Sand that was before him.

    The amount was overwhelming and took Qin Feng more than ten days toplete the collection. Then, Qin Feng drove the Glutton and lifted it up from the ground.

    It had been more than ten days, and the external shell of the Glutton was already healedpletely. The Hundred-Armed Glob and Siren Cherub were terrified by its sudden movement.

    At that moment, Qin Feng experienced something that he had not expected.

    ¡°Urgh!¡±

    A vomiting sound was heard from the Siren Cherub, it had vomited all of the Glittering Gold Sand from its stomach, it then wiggle its tail and escaped in panic!

    Qin Feng was stunned by the moment for several seconds before he could react to the situation.

    ¡°Hahahahahaha!¡±

    Qin Feng burst out into greatughter as he had definitely not expected to scare the Siren Cherub away with his capabilities!

    However, undoubtedly, Qin Feng was the greatest winner of the trip to the Abyssal Ocean!

 Chapter 702 - Three-Way Lasso

    <h4>Chapter 702: Three-Way Lasso</h4>

    Qin Feng spent more than ten days once more collecting the Glittering Gold Sand. When Qin Feng was ready to make his move, the Hundred-Armed Glob who remained there was also on high alert.

    He was relieved and puzzled that Qin Feng did not wish to confront him.

    Actually, if it was not because of the Siren Cherub that had run away, it was impossible for Qin Feng to obtain such a huge amount of Glittering Gold Sand.

    Qin Feng knew that he was unable to win the battle against the Hundred-Armed Glob. Fortunately, he was also trapped and not able to move around, or else, it would be difficult to determine who had the upper hand in the situation!

    The massive Glutton then embarked on its journey to return to the East Sea City!

    Under the deep sea, the Hundred-Armed Glob was finally relieved and began to absorb the Glittering Gold Sand. In less than several years¡¯ time, he would most likely transform into a terrifying beast deity. Unfortunately, Qin Feng was unable to prevent that from happening.

    ¡°I wonder what happened to East Sea City?!¡±

    It had almost been a month since the copse of the Divine Mountain, and Qin Feng¡¯s whereabouts were still unknown. In order to not worry the people of the Fengli Organization, Qin Feng still kept up with his daily routine to toss something into the Battlegod Tomb. Without using anymunicators, it was the constantmunication method between him and the higher management of the Fengli Organization.

    However, it was unable to alter the power shift that had taken ce around the East Sea, something big had happened!

    The perishing of high-tier aptitude users.

    At least, Qin Feng knew that the Huaxia Alliance had lost an A-tier!

    ¡°Ge Lang... no wonder I have not seen such an A-tier before my rebirth, was he killed from this incident?!¡±

    When Qin Feng met with Ge Lang at Dragon Capital, there was not much impression on the person. Perhaps, that person had already disappeared even before Qin Feng¡¯s emergence.

    Now, the assumption was proven to be right.

    Aside from Ge Lang, the Huaxia Alliance had also suffered some other casualties. The West American, Australian, Japanese, and the Philippines Alliance had also suffered great losses.

    As for the B-tiers, only one out of ten of them survived.

    It had a major impact on the Huaxia Alliance.

    Of course, there was also a positive side to it, the emergence of the Glittering Gold Sand would soon contribute to the rise of an S-tier powerful figure from the Huaxia Alliance. Also, more newly raised B-tiers and A-tiers would be cultivated.

    Being an aptitude user was definitely a high-risk upation that was closely associated with potential deaths.

    However, when being provided with opportunities, they would then thrive for great sess!

    Amid his thoughts, Qin Feng¡¯s Glutton was already gradually closing in on East Sea City, close enough to receive signals from the city.

    ¡°Beep beep beep beep beep!¡±

    A series of undelivered notifications were received, Qin Feng opened them up and they were from Shang Han, Tung Yang, and even Nangong Shi was among them.

    ¡°Qin Feng, what is the situation there?¡±

    ¡°Have you been disconnected?¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, I was informed by your organization that you are safe, once you see this message, end the support mission, contact me. I will have someone send you a spatial waymark, I need you to be at Beihua City for something!¡±

    ¡°Remember, return immediately!¡±

    Those were all messages from Shang Han.

    With just a short moment of thought, Qin Feng already knew what was happening!

    Qin Feng paused for a while, he did not return Shang Han¡¯s call immediately, but he went ahead to go through the messages from Nangong Shi and Tung Yang.

    Since the appearance of the three beast emperors, everyone had scattered around to escape. Nangong Shi and Tung Yang were worried by the disappearance of Qin Feng, they suspected that Qin Feng was dead and immediately attempted to reach hismunicator. They even thought that Qin Feng had already returned to East Sea City.

    However, even those from Fengli were uncertain of Qin Feng¡¯s actual situation so they could only wait in patience.

    Fortunately, Qin Feng hadmunicated by using the Battlegod Token to assure Fengli that he was still alive.

    Messages from Tung Yang were merged into a lengthy chain, and Qin Feng had only briefly scrolled to the bottom to view them.

    ¡°Qin Feng, once you have returned, remember to inform me! Fortunately, you were there. Regardless of anything, I will still host a feast to celebrate for you, if it was not because of your great contribution, I would not be able to obtain so many items from the Divine Mountain, I have to express my great appreciation to you!¡±

    ¡°Remember to inform me upon your return!¡±

    Meanwhile, Nangong Shi was more straightforward with his intention.

    ¡°Qin Feng, with your achieved contribution, you can probably apply for the position of a general, if you are interested, please join us at the southern region!¡±

    Surprisingly, all three A-tiers were secretlypeting to exert their ownership onto Qin Feng!

    ¡°A B-tier would definitely qualify for the position of a general!¡±

    The general position of the Human Alliance was a difficult position to secure, it had to be rmended by three A-tiers and randomly reviewed by vetting members to pass through the application.

    Of course, even if Qin Feng were to reject Nangong Shi, either Tung Yang or Shang Han would still be able to secure Qin Feng with his vetting process.

    After all, there were definitely more than one A-tier in a state!

    Qin Feng pondered a while and messaged Nangong Shi to decline his offer. Then, he reached out to Tung Yang via hismunicator!

    Soon, Tung Yang picked up the call and he sounded a little excited.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you back? Did you injure yourself?¡±

    ¡°Thank you for your concern, Regent Tung, I am alright!¡±

    ¡°Alright, very well then!¡±

    ¡°Regent Tung, as for the purpose of this call, I am afraid that I have to decline your warm wee, there is something else that I have to take care of at the Fengli colony, everything that I have done was meant to fulfil the support mission!¡±

    It was Qin Feng¡¯s second time declining Tung Yang¡¯s offer.

    On the other end, the smile on Tung Yang¡¯s face faded away. After a moment of silence, Tung Yang had no choice but to express a sigh in disappointment.

    ¡°Qin Feng, do you understand my intention?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I do!¡±

    ¡°Then what is this about? Is it because of your organization? You can just shift the entire organization over here; this ce suits you better!¡±

    Qin Feng remained calm with his answer, ¡°Regent Tung, I am not a water ability user, and my capability on the ocean is still rathercking!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s most powerful capability was actually his ancient warrior skills, if he were to remain at the East Sea, it would then put an adverse effect on his energy.

    If it was not because of the appearance of the Glittering Gold Sand, Qin Feng would definitely not be there!

    ¡°But you have the Glutton with you!¡± Obviously, Tung Yang disagreed with Qin Feng¡¯s view.

    ¡°Relying on external forces would not be a viable long-term approach. I will keep the Glutton at the East Sea, my subordinate, Yu Yangtao will monitor it and use it to annihte ultra beasts at the East Sea, you can be assured of this, Regent Tung!¡±

    However, Tung Yang was unaware that the Glutton that he highly valued was actually not that important to Qin Feng, and he did not n to bring it along with him either.

    ¡°If that is the case, I will not force you to stay, for this support mission, I will be giving you a double reward!¡±

    ¡°Well, I appreciate that, Regent Tung!¡±

    Qin Feng did not hesitate and epted the offer!

    As soon as the conversation ended, Qin Feng had already driven the Glutton to the pier. A bunch of newly-arrived B-tiers were shocked by the horrifying gigantic ultra beast.

    ¡°What is this? An ultra beast? Why is the rm not triggered?!¡±

    ¡°The Glutton, it is really still alive!¡±

    ¡°Who is this person? What is this?¡±

    ¡°Who is he? ...he is Qin Feng!¡±

 Chapter 703 - Return to Beihua

    <h4>Chapter 703: Return to Beihua</h4>

    ¡°What? He is the famous Qin Feng?¡±

    Within a short period, Qin Feng¡¯s reputation had already arrived to a new height.

    Killing the Glutton, defending the tsunami, annihting the sea beast wave, and also exploring the Abyssal Ocean with Regent Tung Yang and returning safely.

    Regardless of which, those were all significant incidents that the others would find pleasure in discussing, and it could at least go on for one to two months.

    Most importantly, the beneficial oue of the exploding rift was already known by everyone.

    The naming of the Glittering Gold Sand had already been certified by the Huaxia Alliance. They had even found the usage method of it. Therefore, such an item with mass area enhancement would definitely bring countless beneficial oues to some of the families.

    As for Qin Feng who had participated in the battle, despite not obtaining the Glittering Gold Sand, he had probably gotten his hands onto countless numbers of Heavenly Jewels!

    All of a sudden, visions that were focusing on Qin Feng sparkled, as if they were thinking: ¡°How good it would be for them to have those precious items.¡±

    Jealousy, envy, everyone else felt the same!

    Qin Feng did not bother about their views; he entered into the garrison troop lobby and terminated the support mission.

    Although Qin Feng had not participated in the support for the past twenty days, Tung Yang had obviously acknowledged Qin Feng¡¯s presence at East Sea City and epted that he did not forgo his responsibilities.

    Furthermore, during the eruption of the tsunami, Qin Feng had yed a major role in annihting countless numbers of beasts with his dark ability. All of that was recorded with evidence.

    With Tung Yang¡¯s promise of doubling the rewards, the pay-out was in a huge sum.

    However, the amount was still iparable to Qin Feng¡¯s reward of killing the Glutton and his collection of spirit herbs from the Divine Mountain.

    At that moment, Qin Feng no longer cared about the sum of the pay-out.

    Along with his growing capability, Qin Feng had already exceeded the peak of hisbat energy level before his rebirth. He had even umted widespread influence and potential to bring himself unlimited possibilities in the future.

    ¡°Support missionpleted!¡±

    Then, Qin Feng sent Shang Han a notification!

    ¡°Beep beep beep!¡±

    As soon as the notification was transmitted, Shang Han immediately picked up the call.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you back?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, Regent Shang, I have alreadypleted the support mission, but I still have something else to take care of at the East Sea, I will return after an hour. I do not need any spatial waymark, I still have some with me!¡±

    Shang Han heard from Qin Feng and fully understood his intention, she was also extremely delighted by it.

    ¡°Great, Qin Feng, I will expect your return to Beihua!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, see you in an hour!¡±

    Qin Feng ended the conversation, then, he summoned Guo Guan, Yu Yangtao and the others.

    Of course, besides them, Yu Yangtao had regrouped a team of C-tier aptitude users. All of them originated from East Sea City, and they would be stationed there moving forward.

    The Fengli Organization provided the technical skills and facilities to them, they were all employed under Qin Feng.

    ¡°From now on, this ce will be handed over to you, I will also recall Guo Guan, I hope that you will not disappoint me!¡± Qin Feng exined slowly.

    Guo Guan was an older person who had followed Qin Feng to establish the subsidiarypany. Despite his below average capability, he had very high technical skills. He was considered to be favoured by Qin Feng, and Yu Yangtao thought that Qin Feng would make Guo Guan stay to bnce out the situation!

    Unexpectedly, Qin Feng nned to hand over everything to him alone.

    When looking into Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, Yu Yangtao was instantly alerted once more.

    Surprisingly, Qin Feng¡¯s capability had gone up again.

    From the short-lived support mission that hadsted less than one and a half month, Qin Feng¡¯s capability was bumped up continuously by four tiers.

    Such a horrifying and capable person, anyone that betrayed him would definitely end up with a tragic death!

    The oue would definitely be much worse than those C-tiers who had betrayed Yu Yangtao!

    ¡°You can be assured that, President, I will take good care of the operation here!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, if there is any identified danger, reach out to me at any time. However, may luck be with you and I hope that when you call, I am not in other secret territories or ces that are beyond the coverage of any signals!¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright!¡±

    Qin Feng handed over something else, and an hour was already up!

    ¡°I¡¯ll make a move now!¡±

    Qin Feng notified Yu Yangtao and then nodded toward Bai Li.

    Bai Li opened the spatial passage while Yu Yangtao was still there.

    Both of them then disappeared before Yu Yangtao, it was at that moment Yu Yangtao finally understood Qin Feng¡¯s intention.

    Since they first met, the young girl had been acting strangely, and it was surprising that she had such a shocking ability.

    If Yu Yangtao were to really betray Qin Feng, perhaps, even if he were to escape to the edge of the world, Qin Feng would still be able to hunt him down?

    ***

    Beihua City, since Qin Feng¡¯sst visit, it had already been half a year!

    There were not many changes, and as Qin Feng arrived at Shang Han¡¯s office tower, he was immediately sighted by the front desk and offered a warm wee.

    ¡°Deputy Mayor Qin, this way please, the Regent is expecting you!¡±

    Despite not appearing for half a year, Qin Feng¡¯s identity as deputy mayor of Beihua City was still remembered by those experienced office workers. He was immediately recognized as the young and powerful figure.

    ¡°Hmm! Do not follow me, I know my way!¡±

    Qin Feng waved and instructed the woman to leave, then led Bai Li onto the esctor.

    He had been there once, and could still remember the way.

    Soon, Qin Feng met up with Shang Han again.

    ¡°You have really achieved B-tier, and you seem like you are above that too!¡±

    Shang Han was a little emotional, she felt that it might only take several years for Qin Feng to surpass her!

    ¡°I have gotten a great reward this time, and I have already achieved B1-tier capability!¡±

    ¡°As expected...¡± Shang Han nodded and went straight to her point, ¡°With your capability and experience, you are now eligible to apply for the position of a general, and I have already helped you with it. Later on, we shall enter into the Human Alliance consciousness realm to put down a record!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    ¡°Also...¡± Shang Han was a little hesitant, but she still went ahead to speak up, ¡°Qin Feng, do you have some Glittering Gold Sand with you?!¡±

    It was Shang Han¡¯s true intention in looking for Qin Feng.

    Nangong Shi and Tung Yang had both benefited from the incident. Unfortunately, Ge Lang was already dead, and Shang Han was too far away to send people there, and it had caused them to miss out on the opportunity.

    If those were just ordinary items, Shang Han would certainly not be bothered, however, those were definitely not something ordinary.

    The Glittering Gold Sand was capable of transforming ordinary soil into a spirit mountain and evolving an ordinary small-sized colony into the next Dragon Capital.

    Which was why Shang Han asked about it.

    ¡°Hmm, I do have some with me!¡±

    Shang Han carefully watched Qin Feng speak and was instantly delighted, she immediately made up her mind and offered, ¡°I am aware that this might put you in a difficult spot, but, I do hope that you can trade some of the Glittering Gold Sand with me, let¡¯s have... the shares of Beihua City for exchange!¡±

    At that moment, it was Qin Feng who looked toward Shang Han with a stunned expression.

    Shang Han had definitely risked a huge bet on it.

    Shares of Beihua City would definitely cost a fortune to own.

    Furthermore, with control of Beihua City, regardless of the magnitude, the well-established city would definitely own valuable treasures that others could not offer.

    Qin Feng was a little tempted.

    ¡°Well, how much do you need?¡±

 Chapter 704 - S-tier Manuals

    <h4>Chapter 704: S-tier Manuals</h4>

    Shang Han gave him a number¡ªit was just half of what Qin Feng and Tung Yang harvested together. This was even less than the Glittering Golden Sand that Qin Feng secretly harvested himself. It was just a small drop of what he got from the Devil Mountain and Siren Cherub.

    Naturally, Qin Feng frowned. ¡°Then how much stock shares do I get?¡±

    Shang Han answered, ¡°5%.¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Qin Feng was obviously unsatisfied with this offer. ¡°This isn¡¯t a fair deal for me!¡±

    Shang Han, however, seemed to not agree. ¡°Beihua City¡¯s annual ie from tax collection is around 100 trillion. You¡¯ll be taking a five-percent cut, whichs you around 5 trillion. This isn¡¯t an ie that any mere B-tier could dream of earning in a year, you know?¡±

    Qin Feng said, ¡°But I have Glittering Golden Sand. These are valuable treasures. If I sell some of those that I have right now, I could at least get 1 trillion in total. But if I¡¯m signing this contract with you, I¡¯ll need to wait for twenty whopping years to get this amount of money. How is this a good deal for me?¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, I can also grant you greater ess in the city. Like, you could get your hands on the other treasures in our vaults. There are a lot of high tier martial art manuals in there.¡±

    ¡°Do I get to read even the S-tier manuals?¡±

    After hearing this, Shang Han was tongue-tied.

    Beihua region did not have many S-tier martial martial arts or power manuals. The ones that they had were limited¡ªand those were only granted to the ones with the highest authority. The city was built upon these things after all!

    To be even more specific, these S-tier scrolls did not really belong to Beihua¡ªthey belonged to the Shang family, the founders of the city.

    ¡°But you¡¯re still a B-tier. It¡¯s too early for you to touch S-tier manuals!¡±

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°Dear Regent, I didn¡¯t know that you think so poorly of me. But I am more than that. I give you my word, I won¡¯t need twenty years to ascend to greatness. In fact, I could ascend to A-tier within a year! And if that¡¯s the case, I cannot agree to this unfair deal.¡±

    Shang Han was stunned after hearing what he had to say. The expression that she showed, however, was not when one had heard a bluff. On the contrary, it seemed that she was moved and convinced by his words.

    Therefore, she clenched her teeth and replied, ¡°Alright then. I¡¯ll grant you ess to the manuals. But you are only allowed to make a copy of them and not to ever bring them out in the open. And after you¡¯re done learning them, you must destroy the copies at once and never teach them to anyone.¡±

    ¡°Certainly.¡± Qin Feng nodded. This was a fair request.

    After he was reborn, Qin Feng had only gotten his hands on just one S-tier manual, which was the S-tier neigong ¡°Asteroid Assimtion¡±. Aside from that, he was not able to find and acquire other S-tier manuals. Right now, all that he had were low-tier moves, like Sky Burning Sword Style and Dragon Steps. With his power growing so much recently, these moves were starting to feel insignificant and were not enough to wield the great power he held within him.

    Without his Verdant Emperor Saber, his formidable internal energy and years ofbat experience, Qin Feng would not be able to defeat any stronger enemies with just these moves.

    As such, seeing that they had finallye to an agreement, Qin Feng signed the deal. After signing the papers, Qin Feng was eager to visit the vaults to read the manuals.

    ¡°I thought of making you a general first. But... since you¡¯re so excited to get the S-tier manuals, let¡¯s go there first then!¡±

    Shang Han took out a blue stone and started to fuel it with her internal energy. Qin Feng could feel that the runes that were swirling inside were resonating the same way as his Battlegod Token did. A momentter, Shang Han gave Qin Feng another stone of the same kind.

    ¡°Bai Li, stay here. I¡¯ll be right back.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    After fueling their internal energy into the blue stones, suddenly a rune energy field enveloped them in an instant. Qin Feng was briefly blinded by the bright light that was emitted from the energy field; when he came to, they were already at another location.

    They were standing at a pavilion in the middle of a pond; there was a small pathway that led to another tall tower across theke.

    ¡°This is Beihua City¡¯s secret library. Inside, you¡¯ll find numerous scrolls and manuals that have recorded C-tier ancient warriors¡¯ martial arts and C-tier ability users¡¯ powers. The library has three levels. And the S-tier manuals that you¡¯re looking for are at the top level. We only have three S-tier manuals here.¡±

    Qin Feng frowned after hearing this. Only three manuals? This meant that he might not actually find a scroll that was suitable for him.

    When they reached the top level, Shang Han carefully took out the manuals and presented them to Qin Feng. When heid his eyes on them, Qin Feng could feel an intense pressureing from these books.

    This was expected since these manuals were made of S-tier ultra beasts¡¯ hides!

    Beihua City, like other cities, was built by S-tiers a long time ago. These S-tier manuals recorded the martial arts that these pioneers used in their time. They yed S-tier ultra beasts and used their hides to make these manuals so that they wouldst for centuries.

    As Qin Feng was reading the first book, he could feel the scent of the ocean from it. Qin Feng took a good look at the cover of the book¡ªthe title was ¡°The Benevolent Loch¡±.

    ¡°The Benevolent Loch is the S-tier neigong that we, the Shangs, have used for generations. The neigong is able to double one¡¯s internal energy reserves at a fast rate in the beginning. This is why the Shangs are able to be so powerful and have been reining in the Northern Region for such a long time. My father was able to ascend to A-tier before he was even thirty years old. People thought that he would have be an S-tier within the next ten years.¡±

    Yet, Shang Han¡¯s father did not live to see himself ascending to S-tier because he died fighting in the Northern Region¡¯s abyss.

    ¡°I... I am not as talented as my father. I only reached A-tier when I was forty years old. I was able to ascend to A5-tier at fifty-five now. The Benevolent Loch can improve your internal energy reserves very quickly in the beginning but the more you train the harder it gets. It¡¯s not like a walk in the park if one aims to ascend to S-tier. I might be able to do it in another thirty years¡¯ time. But... in this post-apocalyptic world... no one can say for sure that they could live for another thirty years.¡±

    When Qin Feng died in his previous life, Shang Han indeed had not reached S-tier too. He died around A.C 226; right now, it was A.C 219. That meant that seven yearster, Shang Han would still be at A7-tier. So, Shang Han was correct in her calction¡ªthat she would probably need to train thirty years to reach S-tier. Yet, it was difficult for anyone fighting at the frontline to live that long.

    ¡°Maybe you will need thirty years in the past. But this isn¡¯t the case anymore for you.¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°?¡±

    ¡°You now have Glittering Golden Sand in your possession.¡±

    Tung Yang was able to ascend to S-tier when he thought he had passed his prime. As such, naturally, Shang Han could do the same too. Besides, fifty-five-years-old was not all too old for one to continue climbing to greatness!

    Putting down the manual for ¡°The Benevolent Loch¡±, Qin Feng set his eyes on the other two manuals. This neigong indeed was not a match for Qin Feng. Besides, he had Asteroid Assimtion already.

    The other two manuals were striking techniques, one of which was a palm strike style while the other was a sword style. After taking a few nce, Qin Feng concluded that even they too were not suitable for him.

    This was so unexpected.

    Seeing that he had put down all the manuals, Shang Han was puzzled. ¡°Are you sure all of them are not for you? In my opinion, that palm strike style suits you quite well.¡±

    The palm strike style was a style that relied upon massive amounts of internal energy to overpower its opponents. So long as one had great reserves of internal energy, it did not matter if the user waspatible with it in terms of their internal energy elements.

    Still, Qin Feng decided that he should be content with what he had already. Learning too many skills might lead to one being a master of none.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright, Regent. There¡¯s something that I have in mind... and I think I know where to find the martial arts that is suitable for me.

 Chapter 705 - Examination to be a General

    <h4>Chapter 705: Examination to be a General</h4>

    Although he did not get to obtain any manuals that were suitable for him, Qin Feng still handed the Glittering Golden Sand to Shang Han¡ªthe deal was, after all, granting him the ess to view these manuals, not the ownership.

    A few momentster, they both went back to the office.

    ¡°Now that we¡¯re here, let¡¯s connect our consciousness to the Consciousness Realm. I would like to get all of these settled in one go.¡±

    Shang Han had a lot of matters to deal with as a regent; so, her time was limited and precious. The reason she did not send someone else to escort Qin Feng to view the manuals was because of how crucial and significant those were to the city and her family.

    Now that the matter about the manuals were taken care of, it was time to make Qin Feng a general.

    After connecting to their Consciousness Connector, Shang Han and Qin Feng were now in the Consciousness Realm of the Human Alliance.

    Standing at the road, Qin Feng could see the name ¡°Huaxia Alliance¡± printed on the entrance of arge building. It was then, he received a message.

    ¡°B-tier ability user¡ªQin Feng has been granted the privilege of bing a B-tier general of the Human Alliance under the rmendation of A-tier ability user, Regent of Northern Region¡ªShang Han. Do you ept?¡±

    Of course, Qin Feng pressed ¡°ept¡± immediately.

    Then, several B-tiers were summoned and requested to examine Qin Feng. It was more of an order than a ¡°request¡±; so, these men did not dare to reject it.

    Then, Shang Han brought Qin Feng into the building¡¯s lobby. The ce was quite majestically huge. Standing in the middle of the lobby, Qin Feng could see four people sitting on four really finely crafted chairs in front of him.

    On the left, was Shang Han. And the other three were, of course, all A-tier ability users.

    They were all A-tiers from the Northern Region¡ªHan Mou, the governor of Hanchuan state, Yang Long¡ªan elder statesperson of the Huaxia Alliance and the ex-governor of Xingmang state. and Liao Pingan, a general from the Northern Region.

    Shang Han was originally thinking of asking Han Mou and Liao Pingan to also give their rmendation to make Qin Feng a general. However, after Qin Feng got back, Nangong Shi and Tung Yang, to her surprise, already gave her their rmendations.

    ¡°Gentlemen, I would like to initiate the examination of Qin Feng to be a general. I thank you foring here despite your tight schedule. I¡¯m distributing Qin Feng¡¯s profile for your perusal right now.¡±

    Then, she gave everyone Qin Feng¡¯s profile, which detailed all his achievements.

    He was able toplete two support missions in the span of a short time. And every time, he was able toplete them with flying colors.

    There were twenty people who would do the examination. Each one of them had two points under their votes, which would total up to forty points. Then, each of the four A-tiers had twenty points under their votes.

    This meant that, if all three A-tiers vouched for him, Qin Feng would be a B-tier general right away.

    After taking a brief look at Qin Feng¡¯s profile, Han Mou frowned. ¡°Qin Feng? Isn¡¯t he the one who became the champion for the Prodigy Tournament? You know, the one who went to Dragon Capital as a candidate representing the Northern Region?¡±

    Shang Han nodded. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s him.¡±

    Han Mou immediately thought of his son, who keptining to him that he should have been the one who won the championship.

    Yet, when his son wasining, Qin Feng had already aplished so much! To add more, he had already ascended to B-tier too!

    This was quite amazing¡ªno one expected a prodigy like him to ascend to B-tier in such a short time.

    ¡°Indeed, he¡¯s really done a lot of impressive feats. But he¡¯s still young. He ought to be going out and training more. He¡¯s still, what, eighteen years old? That¡¯s too young to be a general. We need to be careful in deciding this because if we make a slight mistake here, it could mean a whole army getting wiped out. This is no child¡¯s y.¡±

    Shang Han was stunned. She did not think Han Mou would make such a statement. Even though Han Mou was an A-tier, he was still just a governor. This meant that he was, in fact, Shang Han¡¯s underling. As such, she was quite surprised to see him objecting her.

    Thus, Shang Han¡¯s face turned grim in an instant.

    ¡°There is no corrtion between age and capabilities!¡± Shang Han said sternly.

    Still, Han Mou did not seem to be intimidated and would not change his mind. In fact, he doubled down, ¡°In my opinion, he¡¯s just eighteen years old. He has so much potential in so many areas. How about we give this position to others first? This is much fairer to others.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean by ¡®fairer¡¯? What about Qin Feng? Is this fair to him?¡±

    ¡°Like I said. He¡¯s still young. He can wait for a little longer.¡±

    The other A-tiers looked at one another in surprise. They did not expect Han Mou to disy such an attitude; and they did not expect to see Shang Han and him fighting.

    In an instant, they started to hesitate too.

    Sometimes, it was best to read the room and follow the flow. Offending a powerful prick could mean a lot of trouble for them and their friends and rtives¡¯ careers.

    If they took Shang Han¡¯s side, Han Mou could cause a lot of petty yet destructive problems for them. However, if they took Han Mou¡¯s side, that would mean crossing the regent of the Northern Region. Still, when they thought about it, Shang Han would not openly try to harm them in any way due to fear of a ruined reputation.

    Therefore, they both started to feel that they should support Han Mou.

    Seeing the other two A-tiers starting to hesitate, Shang Han frowned even more bitterly. She did not think her n would be ruined by such an unexpected incident. She could not allow her ns to go to ruin and down the drain like this! She must do something!

    It was then, Qin Feng opened his mouth.

    ¡°If that¡¯s the case... Governor Han, it¡¯s been years that you¡¯ve been a governor of Hanchuan state. How about you retire right now so that the other people would also get a chance to be governor? You¡¯re an A-tier ability user! Instead of sittingfortably behind a desk, you should be going to the frontlines and take down the enemies of the alliance. Isn¡¯t it fairer this way?¡±

    Han Mou turned and looked at Qin Feng and smirked, ¡°I built Hanchuan state with my bare hands. How can anyone elsepare to me?¡±

    Qin Feng looked at him coldly. ¡°My achievements were alsopleted with my own hands. So, why can¡¯t I be a general? How many ultra beasts did I y? How many lives did I save? How can youpare to me?¡±

    Han Mou¡¯s face turned grim. ¡°Qin Feng, you dare oppose me?¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯m just stating the obvious. If you¡¯re so bitter about it, how about you stop chickening out andpare our achievements. Let¡¯s see who killed more ultra beasts? Hmm?¡±

    Han Mou clenched his teeth and could not say a word.

    Qin Feng¡¯s achievements were indeed something not anyone else couldpare. He had done something that was almost unthinkable. He had defeated the Glutton Leviathan¡ªan A-tier beast emperor. It was a beast that was indefinitely godlike. This alone was enough to beat several others¡¯ achievements that dare topete with him.

    Besides, Han Mou spent most of his life building Hanchuan state. This meant that he rarely left hisfort zone. ording to what Qin Feng knew before he was reborn, Han Mou¡¯s method of ascending to A-tier was not really all that honorable.

    To be an A-tier ability user, Han Mou had forcibly imprisoned a renowned pharmacist and forced him to make him illegal, powerful drugs that pushed his body to the limits, which then made him an A-tier.

    However, doing so would bring him several side-effects. One of which was that Han Mou had only half of everyone¡¯s internal energy. This in turn meant that he could not fight as effectively as most people.

    Due to this, Han Mou had cunningly refused to be an elder statesperson or general to avoid being assigned to the frontlines.

    Indeed.

    How could Han Moupare to Qin Feng?

 Chapter 706 - Elected as General

    <h4>Chapter 706: Elected as General</h4>

    Han Mou¡¯s face was really ck and grim. He felt humiliated. But when he thought about it... there was no way someone like him, who had passed his prime, would be able to take on Qin Feng.

    When Han Mou was thinking of a goodeback, Shang Han opened her mouth. ¡°Enough arguing. Time to vote! But everyone! You better vote really carefully. This is a new blood with great potential. I believe Qin Feng is going to be an A-tier in the near future. In fact, he might actually reach the S-tier before we reach retirement.¡±

    Shang Han swiped a good, slow look at the B-tiers.

    ¡°Now vote!¡±

    Han Mou was the first to vote. And he voted ¡°Object¡±. Qin Feng, however, was looking at Yang Long and Liao Pingan.

    The votes of the B-tiers were insignificant. However, these two¡¯s votes meant a great deal. If one of them were to vote ¡°Object¡±, it was enough to deter him from bing a general!

    It was then, Liao Pingan made his decision.

    He voted to support Qin Feng.

    ¡°Thest time during the battle in Beihua city. I was the general stationed there and yet I could not be there in time to aid the city. However, Qin Feng! You were there. And you were able to take on the B-tier beast king. You have great potential. In fact, I think you might even be more powerful than any of us A-tiers who¡¯re sitting here. I have no reason to push such a talented young man away.¡±

    Liao Pingan¡¯s words did more than support Qin Feng¡ªit reminded the others that Qin Feng was already a top-tier prodigy, who had the authority and could take on anyone above his rank. He was someone who had as much authority as any A-tier, or he might even be more powerful than them.

    As such, it would seem that supporting Qin Feng was actually the better choice.

    Han Mou stared at Yang Long coldly. Seeing this, Yang Long clenched his teeth and said, ¡°Perhaps Governor Han is right. Qin Feng is indeed too young. He still needs more training. So, let¡¯s not push such a heavy burden on the young man yet. Allow him to enjoy life a little more, hahaha!¡±

    And then, he voted ¡°Object¡±.

    In ordance with the Alliance¡¯s system, generals could only be elected once a year. If Qin Feng could not get elected now, he would need to wait for a whole year!

    Now, there was 40% of objection rate. If someone voted one more ¡°Object¡±, Qin Feng would lose his chance to be a general.

    Suddenly! The B-tier voters¡¯ became the most significant determiner in this election. They looked at one another and took a long, cold breath.

    ¡°So, what do we do? Do we vote for support or object?¡±

    ¡°Han Mou is so insufferable. He dares to object Regent Shang. We¡¯ll see just how long he can stay in power. I¡¯m not afraid of this prick. In fact, I¡¯ve been resenting him for a long time now!¡±

    ¡°If I support Qin Feng, this would mean offending Han Mou. If I vote to object, I would be offending Qin Feng. But... if I stand with Han Mou, this old fart might not even thank me for it. If I support Qin Feng, we might be able to be friends! And if he were to be an A-tier one day, this could mean a great deal of benefits for me!¡±

    ¡°Think! Just think, you guys! Qin Feng is the president of the Fengli Organization! If we vote for him, we might get a discount on their merchandise!¡±

    After whispers of debates, the B-tiers finally settled down and started to vote. Then, the rate to support Qin Feng started to rise.

    46%

    52%

    58%

    And then finally... there was only one B-tier left who had not voted. He looked around before clenching his teeth and voted ¡°Support¡±! Right now, it was quite clear his vote would mean a great deal. Everyone voted ¡°Support¡±; so, it was best for him to follow the trend.

    Besides, if he voted ¡°Object¡±, he would risk bing the one who ¡°ruined Qin Feng¡¯s chance to be a general¡±. And when that happened, he would not want to know just what kind of wrath Qin Feng would unleash on him.

    Hence...

    60%

    Qin Feng¡¯s support rate went up to 60%.

    ¡°Congrattions. Qin Feng passed the examination.¡±

    The system announced Qin Feng¡¯s win in a monotonous tone; yet, it felt like a victory roll for him striking back beautifully.

    This was the first time in the Northern Region history that there was a case where two A-tiers had objected and yet the candidate still passed the examination.

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    Han Mou pulled a long face and stood up before disappearing from the lobby, pulling his consciousness out of the Consciousness Realm.

    Yang Long, on the other hand, was stunned because he did not think things would turn out this way. After Han Mou left, he was the other person who had voted ¡°Object¡±. This made things really embarrassing for him.

    ¡°Haha! Okay, folks! I recall that I have something to take care of... Bye!¡±

    Yang Long swiftly left the lobby too.

    Then, all that was left was a looming atmosphere of celebration.

    ¡°Congrattions, General Qin!¡± Liao Pingan said to Qin Feng.

    ¡°I thank you, General Liao. I¡¯ll give you a proper visit to thank you.¡±

    ¡°Oh, don¡¯t mention it! We¡¯rerades in the alliance! I actually can¡¯t wait for someone like you to finally be a general. With that, I could have a few day-offs. Haha!¡±

    ¡°Of course! Don¡¯t you worry, Sir. I¡¯llplete all my missions. You¡¯ll see.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha! That¡¯s the spirit!¡±

    Then, the B-tiers started to crowd over to congratte Qin Feng, as though he had won a hard fought battle.

    ¡°Congrattions, General Qin!¡±

    ¡°Haha! Congrats, General Qin! You¡¯ve more than earned this title!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t forget to treat us to a feast!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded with a smile to everyone¡¯s congrattion and registered everyone¡¯s contacts via hismunicator. Who knew? There could be some of them in the crowd here that he could use one day in the future.

    Of course, Qin Feng was not a stingy man. After getting their contacts, he ordered the Fengli Organization to send them all a present to their addresses. Each of them got a B-tier beast king material.

    As for Liao Pingan? Qin Feng gifted him ten bottles of Glittering Golden Sand.

    ***

    After leaving the Consciousness Realm, Shang Han and Qin Feng were back in Shang Han¡¯s office again. Now, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator had been updated¡ªhe was not only a governor of a state but also a general of the Huaxia Alliance.

    This was not an achievement that any colony¡¯s general couldpare to.

    ¡°Han Mou, this little prick! I don¡¯t know what got into him! But thank God things went well in the end!¡±

    Shang Han was still disgruntled by what happened earlier.

    ¡°Perhaps he was just expressing his son¡¯s resentment toward me. That¡¯s why he¡¯s not fond of me.¡± Qin Feng said.

    Shang Han took a moment to recall who Han Mou¡¯s son was and then she finally calmed down, realizing what kind of trifling squabble Han Mou was on about.

    ¡°There are thousands of prodigies on the. And there are only a handful of them who would survive on the battlefield. He can¡¯t just take it out on someone else just because his son is a useless schmuck.¡±

    Even though she seemed to have calmed down, Shang Han still could not help but murmur to herself loudly.

    Qin Feng smiled after hearing this without saying anything further.

    After letting out her frustration, Shang Han summoned rune equipment to her hand and grabbed a unique looking badge.

    ¡°This is for you. It¡¯s been specially customized just for you. Thank God things did not go ording to what Han Mou wanted or else I¡¯ll have to wait for a whole year to hand this to you.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Regent!¡±

    Qin Feng took a good look at the badge after receiving it. It had an emblem of a B-tier general.

    This new position of power was much more versatile and powerful than his position as a governor!

 Chapter 707 - Fengli City Drastically Changes

    <h4>Chapter 707: Fengli City Drastically Changes</h4>

    This time Qin Feng could not excuse himself so he attended a grand celebration banquet and even recorded a documentary.

    This documentary was naturally about Qin Feng¡¯s battle exploits and his record of ultra beasts that he had hunted which led to him being awarded the rank of a B-tier general. The film would not only be broadcasted in Beihua City but it would also be broadcasted in all states in the Northern Region so that people would know that a new general had appeared.

    Of course, the amount of broadcasts obviously depended on the area¡¯s viewpoint of Qin Feng. Later, he learned that Hanmou did not air it a single time while other states only aired it two or three times. Only Beihua City and North Sea City broadcasted it the most.

    After three days, Qin Feng finally returned to North Sea City.

    It was springtime by then and the crops outside Fengli City were flourishing. Due to Qin Feng¡¯s changes the energy here was plentiful and the ce had been especially made to cultivate and grow spirit herbs!

    Besides that, Fengli¡¯s crops had be the best choice for upper ss people in many other colonies due to their reputation, taste and quality.

    ¡°Fengli City will naturally get stronger in the future. The children born here will be like those from Dragon Capital, the people would get more powerful as everyone would eventually be awakened, and this would lead to a better living environment. As people learn to defend themselves, casualties will lessen!¡±

    ¡°Fengli City will be a cradle for the strong in the future!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be enough to shake up the other nes!¡±

    On the same day, Qin Feng and Bai Li busied themselves as he used his weak earth abilities to carve out a treasure vault a hundred meters under his vi.

    A vault made with this kind of earth ability would easily be broken into by C-tiers, but whenbined with spatial runes and dark runes, the thing was extremely secure!

    After that he took out the Glittering Gold Sand.

    The Glittering Gold Sand that was ced into barrels was thebined amount that Qin Feng had collected from his first and third time, and the sheer amount filled up the vault.

    Even though the barrels were covered by the crystal lids, the energy of the sand would eventually trickle out and spread throughout the entire city!

    ***

    As night silently passed and morning came, a cry of surprise came from the balcony on the third floor of an ordinary residential area in Fengli City.

    ¡°Mom, Mom, tangerines! There are tangerines!¡±

    A woman was slightly confused but she cleaned her hands and walked to the balcony.

    On the small table on the balcony, the bonsai seemed to be bearing fruit. Golden thumb-sized tangerines could be seen dotting the small nt.

    This was the only thing that her husband had left behind.

    Her husband was only a G-tier gunner. Back then, he managed to obtain this spirit herb in the wilderness and treated it like his most precious treasure. He said that if he could take care of it well, they wouldter have enough money to take care of their child.

    Unfortunately, when the rift appeared her husband was gone, leaving behind her and her child.

    When the Fengli colony was established, she rushed here for the sake of survival and due to Qin Feng¡¯s welfare for the people she was able to raise her child.

    Then, the woman and her child went to Fengli City.

    Every time she moved, her life got a little better. However, she was still helpless and had to rely on aid, besides that it was difficult to take care of her child. After all, she was a rather weak person.

    However, once the spirit herb blossomed and bore fruit, the life in the future seemed to be full of hope!

    ¡°My dear, perhaps, your father has blessed us!¡±

    The woman¡¯s eyes were watery and finally could not help herself from weeping.

    ***

    Liming Orphanage, a ce preceded only by the Fengli School. Not only did Qin Feng build an orphanage in the city, he also had people specially design thend of the orphanage. Whether it was the roof or the surroundingnd, there was bound to be something edible nted there.

    Qin Feng clearly remembered that when he was young, there was a jujube tree near the orphanage. Each year the jujube tree would bear fruit and whenever that happened, it would be the happiest time for children of the orphanage like him.

    And they would take care of the tree too, because that was probably the only fruit they would be able to eat for free.

    In the morning, a thirteen year old boy climbed on top of the roof which was covered in ayer of soil. There was even a small Tear Flower nted in the center. So long as it was exposed to sunshine it did not require any watering.

    However, the Tear Flower worked well enough that there were bound to be weeds growing. They needed to do some weeding so that the peanuts that they nted would flourish and grow.

    Then, they would have something to snack on!

    As soon as he reached the roof, what he saw shocked him. The peanut nts that they nted had grown to one meter in height and even the soil seemed to be bursting at the seams. It was full of peanuts!

    ¡°W- How is that possible? Headmaster? Headmaster!¡±

    The boy cried out loudly, causing the other children to run out to see what was going on. When they noticed the obvious change, it stirred up quite a panic.

    Such a scene continued to y out throughout all of Fengli City.

    The TVs at home, the broadcasting screens on the street, the Fengli City personal and even personalmunicators shed with an iing flood of news.

    [We are now live to broadcast this piece of news. Last night the city governor established arge energy diffusion array in Fengli City which caused a rapid increase in energy throughout the city, affecting nt growth. If you encounter any dangerous mutant nts please inform the authorities as soon as possible. Aptitude users will be sent to deal with any issues!]

    [ording to the Fengli Organization¡¯s press release, as energy increases the physical fitness of people exposed to it will rapidly increase as well. In a few years, the chances of newborns and young people awakening will be greatly increased!]

    [After the energy has been diffused, Fengli City is experiencing three times its output!]

    [The following is a special broadcast. The following special spirit herbs have their seeds avable for purchase and can be nted at home!]

    Once that broadcast was over, the people rejoiced. There was no unhappy person in the entire city.

    In an ordinary family, the normal ie would be only around five thousand but once they purchase a spirit herb seed and these herbs or fruits were nted, they would be able to earn up to tens of thousands.

    Who would not be excited?

    For the people of Fengli City, this was a great deal. They did not know how their governor did it but for some people they thought that this whole thing was frightening!

    In a hotel, an E-tier person called someone on hismunicator with shaking hands.

    ¡°Lord, something is wrong. Qin Feng, I don¡¯t know what he did but the aura around Fengli City is catching up with the Dragon Capital¡¯s!¡±

    ¡°No, not aura. Its energy! A huge amount of energy!¡±

    ¡°This energy is really strange, it elerates nt growth! Not only that, it could even turn normal nts into spirit herbs. I¡¯ve just seen the news and found out that the peach trees nted in the park have started bearing spirit fruit and there are even people fighting each other to get some!¡±

    On the opposite end of themunicator, an elderly person kept silent before finally saying, ¡°I know the news, keep hidden and don¡¯t contact me carelessly. Keep your eyes on Fengli¡¯s science research facility!¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, I understand my Lord!¡±

    The person who hung up did not notice that the elder had a glint in their eyes.

    ¡°Qin Feng...The Glittering Gold Sand!¡±

 Chapter 708 - Unexpected Guests

    <h4>Chapter 708: Unexpected Guests</h4>

    The person who was on the other end of this call was Sheng Lian of the Public Capital Corporation.

    Thest time he gave up targeting Qin Feng, it left a knot in his heart, thinking that although Qin Feng¡¯s strength was huge the group was young after all and had only been active for more than a year. This must mean that his men were easy to bribe, there were opportunities to be exploited!

    As such, Sheng Lian dispatched an E-tier gunner, someone whose strength was not strong or weak, just enough that he could scope things out in Fengli City.

    The person who called Sheng Lian was that spy!

    Unfortunately, the spy had been there for a month and there was still no useful news.

    Sheng Lian knew that such things could not be rushed, corporate espionage could take up to eight to ten years!

    It was just that Sheng Lian did not know that the Fengli Organization had a profiteer like Xue Xingfu, some of the core secrets were held so tightly that nothing could be revealed. Moreover, how could Xue Xingfu not know that the otherpanies were gunning for their treasures?

    If anyone were to join the core of the group, a detailed investigation would be carried out that might even trace back to an individual¡¯s ancestors.

    Of course the spy told Sheng Lian of the sudden situation that sprouted all over Fengli City during this special moment.

    In the Sheng Manor in Dragon Capital, Sheng Lian was pacing back and forth.

    ¡°This Qin Feng must have gotten his hands on some Glittering Gold Sand. The item¡¯s effects are exactly what¡¯s happening!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Qin Feng returned safely from that mountain, how could he have not gotten some?¡±

    ¡°And it looks like he¡¯s buried the sand under Fengli City! Hahaha, how naive!¡±

    In Sheng Lian¡¯s eyes, even if it were to be buried, it should be buried in an area that only a high-level official in Fengli would know of, or a hidden realm, or some paradise, anywhere else that was a secret!

    Unexpectedly, Qin Feng boldly buried it under his city!

    ¡°In that case, I guess I¡¯ll help myself.¡± Sheng Lian smiled greedily, as if Qin Feng¡¯s Glittering Gold Sand had already fallen into his grasp.

    ***

    In the Battlegod Tomb, Qin Feng directly exposed the Glittering Gold Sand and ced it on the second floor¡¯s passage. This ce had long been converted into a special garden for spirit herbs, even the Pure Lotus had be something of amodity in Fengli.

    At this moment, as soon as the Glittering Gold Sand appeared, branches shook in the Pure Lotus Pond and newly born lotus flowers began to slowly bloom beautifully. It waster revealed that the lotus flowers were full of lotus seeds.

    Not only that, there was a golden lotus among those that had bloomed and it was particrly eye-catching. That must have been the evolution of the Pure Lotus!

    ¡°Nice, these effects are out of this world!¡±

    Qin Feng quickly collected the lotus nts and after the lotus seeds were taken away the Pure Lotuses withered away only to be reced by a new batch of blooming lotuses.

    Now, it looked like the golden lotuses upied one tenth of the blooming flowers!

    ¡°What does the golden one taste like? I wanna try!¡± Bai Li came over, pouting her lips.

    Qin Feng picked up a golden lotus seed and hovered it close to Bai Li¡¯s mouth, feeding it to her before he ate one himself.

    There was a kind of pure energy that flowed through him as it entered his mouth, traveling all over his body with an effect stronger than that of the normal lotus seeds. Something that seeped into his bones.

    ¡°I don¡¯t feel any changes,¡± Qin Feng said, although he felt that it was quite soothing eating these.

    Bai Li chewed on hers and said, ¡°You don¡¯t feel anything because your meridians are probably too wide. These golden seeds should be able to make your meridians flow better, maybe it even has healing properties!¡±

    ¡°Oh? Then we can get Xue Xingfu to try!¡±

    Xue Xingfu was someone who naturally took to business like a duck took to water, but his strength held him back.

    It had been half a year since the Prodigy Tournament and even Zhou Hao had scaled up three ranks in a row and reached D5-tier but Xue Xingfu had only just reached D-tier.

    This was the result of the umtion of resources. After all, Xue Xingfu did not need toy a solid foundation while Zhou Hao was the kind of person who was in the pursuit of bing a genius.

    Xue Xingfu was only an ordinary D-tier aptitude user and had spent many resources. One could only imagine how bad his talent actually was.

    However, Qin Feng did not give up on Xue Xingfu¡¯s training. After all, before his rebirth, he knew Xue Xingfu as an A-tier aptitude user. A boss should give his employees benefits.

    Xue Xingfu soon arrived.

    As soon as he entered, he could feel the change in the general atmosphere of the area.

    ¡°Chief, you should have said hello in advance, the PR team¡¯s very busy right now. If you wanted to pull off something like this you could have at least done it in the Battlegod Tomb!¡±

    ¡°If I put it in the tomb you wouldn¡¯t have agreed with me if I took the Glittering Gold Sand out!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Xue Xingfu was unabashed and put on a coy smile. ¡°How is that possible, oh President, how dare we refute your words? I support you, one hundred percent!¡±

    ¡°Then why would I still be talking with you people?¡±

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s face immediately fell.

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the sand in Fengli City is only a small portion. The main portion is still in the Battlegod Tomb!¡±

    Xue Xingfu was taken aback, then he asked very carefully, ¡°Boss, how much did you get this time? I didn¡¯t receive much news on this!¡±

    Qin Feng did not intend on hiding it from Xue Xingfu. He said that he had collected during the Kounsat incident and some at the bottom of the ocean. All of the sand was collected and ced inside the Battlegod Tomb!

    Xue Xingfu looked at all of the sand that was ced in a huge pit and quietly calcted in his mind. With his talent for business and his SSS-tier intellect, he still could not urately predict a price for these things.

    ¡°Not a drop of the sand can be sold, the poor man¡¯s crime is owning jade! People will be gunning for this!¡± Qin Feng said in a serious tone.

    Xue Xingfu regretfully retracted his gaze. ¡°Boss, you still took some sand out!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯ll look more magnanimous that way. After all, this will let many aptitude users know that I¡¯ve obtained these things and wille over in the future but once I exin that I¡¯m using these things they wouldn¡¯t have a reason to try and take them!¡±

    ¡°Clever, very clever. Looks like the president is exceeding expectations!¡±

    ¡°Stop bootlicking, try out this golden lotus seed for me!¡±

    At this time, the second batch of Golden Lotuses had bloomed and Qin Feng swiftly collected the bunch. After taking some, Xue Xingfu felt his meridians widen, making them more suitable for practicing ancient martial arts.

    It could be said these lotus seeds would enhance people¡¯s ancient martial arts potential.

    These sorts of things were priceless and now it would be an important resource for the leaders of the Fengli Organization in the future. The future was bright for thispany.

    After that, Qin Feng took the herbs he collected from the Divine Mountain and ced them in the Battlegod Tomb. After working for two days, he finally left the realm.

    The moment they reappeared, Qin Feng and Bai Li looked at one another.

    From what they could sense, it seemed like some unexpected guests had arrived!

 Chapter 709 - Invite Them Up Here

    <h4>Chapter 709: Invite Them Up Here</h4>

    There were two of them, both were B-tiers. In fact, one of them was an earth ability user and another was a dark ability user.

    If it were a high-stakes battlefield such as a ce like East Sea City, these people would not have gotten any attention.

    Fengli City was a ce that was pretty distant, one could call it a sanctuary. It was located far in the rear, nowhere near to any frontlines. Even though Qin Feng established the Fengli Organization here, the ones that were working around the ce were only C-tiers.

    As such, two B-tiers were bound to get a lot of attention here.

    What was more was that these two were making rounds underground.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? There¡¯s obviously strong energy here but why can¡¯t I find it?¡± The dark ability user cursed. He had a detector device in his hand that he was using to scan for energy levels, it wasmon to use such devices for mining expeditions.

    At the moment, the detector was picking up high numbers but what they were looking for seemed to be missing.

    The earth ability user frowned and at this moment, he was getting a bad feeling in his gut.

    ¡°We can try again, if we don¡¯t find anything, we¡¯ll stop here!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    The earth ability user changed directions but no matter where they turned, they could not find it!

    What they were looking for was where Qin Feng had buried the Glittering Gold Sand.

    Soon, Qin Feng discovered these two ¡®little thieves¡¯!

    ¡°Bai Li, invite them up here!¡± He had a ghastly grin on his face as he issued the invitation, but there was nothing weing about his tone!

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Bai Li raised her hand and runes erupted from her fingers as a two meter cube appeared before her.

    The silver light of the cube glowed before it quickly dimmed into dark space!

    ¡°Swap!¡±

    Bai Li activated it with a word, the darkness and silver light slowly disappeared and what was left in front of them was a two meter block of dirt.

    And then, one side of the block was broken as the earth ability user burrowed through and the two people now stood in front of Qin Feng.

    So these were the ones digging around under his vi.

    These two were originally digging underground but suddenly stopped feeling the weight of the soil and saw light shining through, surprising the dark ability user as well!

    ¡°What happened?¡±

    ¡°Where is this?¡±

    The two soon encountered Qin Feng and Bai Li as well as a magnificent view of the vi in front of them.

    Although they did not understand how they got there, at this moment when facing Qin Feng, they only felt guilt.

    ¡®Qin Feng!¡¯

    ¡®Not good, we¡¯ve been discovered!¡¯

    This thought popped into both their heads at the same time, and almost without thinking they turned to flee.

    ¡°Did I say you can go?¡± Qin Feng said in a deep voice, his terrifying consciousness bursting out.

    The force of his consciousness bore on these two like the weight of a mountain.

    ¡°Hng!¡±

    The two unleashed their consciousnesses at the same time in an attempt to resist this force.

    But how could they match Qin Feng?

    Qin Feng was definitely an emperor among the B-tiers, how could these two be able to face off against the emperor?

    In that instant, they knew that they were not going to be Qin Feng¡¯s opponents at all.

    However, they were not going down without a fight.

    ¡°Rock Slide!¡±

    ¡°Shadow Thorns!¡±

    Both activated their abilities in an attempt to counterattack.

    Bai Li raised her hand and a silver light floated in front of them. ¡°Move!¡±

    The light burst into arge rift that swallowed the iing rocks and small dark darts that were flung at them, going into unknown realms.

    ¡°This is my home, if either of you dare mess it up I will slice you into ribbons!¡± Bai Li threatened.

    The two could not be bothered and did not take Bai Li¡¯s threat to heart.

    ¡°Attack! Thousand Peaks!¡± B-tiers¡¯ powers were absolutely horrifying when activated.

    Krakooom!

    The vi shook as the ground cracked and earth violently burst upward into hills which ended uppletely destroying the building.

    The uneven small mountain range was enough cover for the B-tiers to make a break for it!

    It was just that they did not know that Bai Li was angry enough to consider eating them!

    ¡°You, you actually dare?!¡±

    Bai Li roared and her ability burst forth.

    ¡°Spatial sh!¡±

    In an instant, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of silver threads burst out and spread around the person¡¯s body.

    Pfft pfft pfft pfft!

    The silver threads turned ck, like they were extremely thin des as they gently slid over any object. The earth ability user¡¯s entire body froze.

    After only two seconds, cracks suddenly appeared on the person¡¯s body before he copsed like a house of cards and dropped to the groundpletely shattered.

    The B-tier earth ability user unexpectedly died just like that!

    His partner stared with widened eyes, he could hardly believe what was happening in front of him.

    At this time, Qin Feng did not want another B-tier running around causing havoc. Abilities with super wide brains were feared by any city.

    Kraak!

    Qin Feng¡¯s figure instantly appeared in front of the B-tier, putting his hands on the man¡¯s shoulder and suddenly pressing down!

    His internal force exerted a great destructive power on this man.

    Pfft pfft!

    The bones of his shoulder were definitely crushed by this move. ¡°Arghhh!¡± The dark ability user screamed, his voice piercing the air.

    At this time, a group of ability users appeared outside Qin Feng¡¯s manor. The earth ability user¡¯s outburst around Qin Feng¡¯s vi caught people¡¯s attention and even changed the surroundingndscape!

    Fortunately, Qin Feng looked fine. Meanwhile, the people who came here to cause trouble were on the ground.

    Qin Feng did not stop, he swung his hand toward the man¡¯s legs and with a single blow shattered the man¡¯s legs as well.

    It was a cruel move, but extremely effective.

    When the body was severely injured, one¡¯s consciousness would also be weakened. Qin Feng did not do anything else and nced at Bai Li.

    Her eyes began to shift as if there were gxies in them, an endless spiral that caused people¡¯s skin to crawl.

    ¡°What is your name?¡±

    Bai Li asked.

    The man¡¯s gaze was ssy, and in a daze he blurted out an answer.

    ¡°I am Sheng Hua!¡±

    At this moment, Bai Li had hypnotized the man.

    ¡°Sheng Hua? What is your purpose?¡± She pressed again.

    ¡°I... I¡¯m...¡± Sheng Hua was obviously in a weak state but he had very little resistance. He knew that this method of questioning was extremely dangerous to him.

    She could kill him at any moment.

    ¡°I¡¯m an elder of the Sheng family!¡± In the end, the man could not contest Bai Li¡¯s consciousness and the words spilled out.

 Chapter 710 - Contract Voided

    <h4>Chapter 710: Contract Voided</h4>

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li continued her interrogation and within a few moments the other party no longer needed probing.

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s the Sheng family of Dragon Capital!¡±

    ¡°Then why is it that you are here?¡±

    ¡°For... the Glittering Gold Sand!¡±

    As expected!

    With a smirk at the corner of his mouth, Qin Feng knew that these people had their schemes but he did not expect the first to enact them would be the Sheng family!

    He could not help but ponder what he should do about this.

    Kill him immediately, pretend to know nothing and not reveal anything.

    Or...

    Qin Feng eventually came to a conclusion.

    If it were back then, Qin Feng would still avoid this question but now it was no longer necessary.

    With his current strength and Bai Li, he was not afraid of any A-tiers. In that case, why should he avoid confronting them?

    Maybe it was time to let them understand who he was.

    Two years of hiding in the shadows, was it not all just for this day?

    Qin Feng dialed Sheng Lian¡¯smunicator.

    He had his number because it was left behind when Qin Feng and the Sheng family signed a contract regarding the technology he obtained in the Perished Lands.

    Meanwhile, Sheng Lian was wide awake. He naturally knew how precious the Glittering Gold Sand was and so even if a flurry of problems had passed he still had a sense of restlessness about him.

    At this time, the sound of hismunicator beeping made his heart skip a beat.

    He raised his hand and after seeing the number of who was calling his heart almost jumped out of his throat!

    It was Qin Feng.

    The air fell silent for a while and Sheng Lian hesitated to answer.

    The person calling seemed to be extremely patient, they did not hang up and were still dialing.

    Sheng Lian gritted his teeth and went through with this call.

    Qin Feng¡¯s young face appeared in the air.

    ¡°Hello, Lord Sheng!¡± Qin Feng said in a serious tone.

    ¡°He... llo!¡± The polite manners made Sheng Lian change his thoughts rapidly. Was Qin Feng not aware of his own situation? What was this call for?

    However, these kinds of coincidences did not exist.

    Qin Feng spoke again, his voice was chilling and without a trace of emotion, as if he was only here to inform him of something.

    ¡°Lord Sheng, you should recognize this person right?¡± Qin Feng shifted hismunicator to reveal Sheng Hua as well as the person who was cut up to the point where they no longer had a shape.

    Qin Feng¡¯s voice sounded like a hellish demon.

    ¡°Oh, pardon me, I didn¡¯t ask about the other one. He died miserably. I still hope you might recognize it, you¡¯re the one who sent him here after all!¡±

    Sheng Lian was silent for a while. After all, having been in a high position for so long, he had a disdain for such quibbling.

    ¡°Qin Feng, what is the meaning of this? Are you asking me for an exnation? Or are you nning a ransom, if it¡¯s not too much then I can provide it!¡±

    Sheng Hua was a member in the direct line of the Sheng family, and the other was Ke Qing, an elder not blood-rted to the family.

    As such, Sheng Lian was not too angry at that time.

    However, Qin Feng let out a cold chuckle upon hearing Sheng Lian¡¯s words.

    ¡°Hmph, Lord Sheng you¡¯ve got some nerve. Since you¡¯ve admitted to it then I won¡¯t go beating around the bush, Lord Sheng you have brazenly breached our agreement. After this, I will be voiding the contract with the Sheng family and dering it on the whole. Share that technology and research, and I will let Sheng Hua go for the sake of the Human Alliance!¡±

    Qin Feng hung up after he had finished speaking.

    Sheng Lian was stunned, he did not expect Qin Feng to be so methodical. When he thought of Qin Feng¡¯s words his face paled.

    Half a year ago, Qin Feng signed a contract with each of the families in Dragon Capital. It was indeed stated that nobody could act against Qin Feng, or the result would be the contract bing void, and the technology and research they had on them to be dered to the world.

    What Qin Feng had been giving the Sheng family was very good. In the past six months, the Sheng family had invested a lot into researching this tech. Once it was announced, would it mean that all that money and experience would be thrown away?

    ¡°Damn it Qin Feng!!!¡± Sheng Lian¡¯s expression twisted with anger. He thought that Qin Feng would threaten him with Sheng Hua, he never expected that Qin Feng would actually take advantage of the contract.

    Sheng Lian paced back and forth, thinking about wanting to reconcile with Qin Feng, but the incident in East Sea City made him veryfortable and he decided that there was no point trying to parley with him.

    ¡°He¡¯s really annoyed me, I¡¯m an A-tier, how could I still be worried about him?¡±

    Sheng Lian¡¯s face was pale.

    However, Qin Feng moved faster than Sheng Lian imagined.

    In less than ten minutes, the content on the Battle had attracted the attention of many aptitude users!

    [Huaxia Alliance Shares Research Information]

    [Fengli Organization and Sheng Family¡¯s Letter of Agreement]

    [Video: Sheng Family¡¯s Breach of Contract ]

    [Contract Voided, Research Results Broadcasted Online]

    [User At-Will Identification System for Download]

    [Multiple Research Results for Download]

    The content of the post was aplete mess, but the following downloads had kicked many people in power into a frenzy.

    Someone had unexpectedly announced such advanced results.

    At this time, everyone in Dragon Capital was shocked.

    Some A-tier aptitude users protected their own identities and would not easily gather except when necessary. However, the young people in the families, or some stewards and interested family members often met with one another.

    Now, such a sudden change had urred, these people gathered together through receptions, celebratory banquets and so on.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why did Qin Feng suddenly announce the Sheng family¡¯s technology?¡±

    ¡°Hasn¡¯t the video been released already?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t Qin Feng say he wouldn¡¯t announce anything unless he is dead?¡±

    ¡°Are you dumb? If Qin Feng were dead, he would have announced everything. In the contract with each family there are also certain conditions on conduct. The Sheng family dispatched B-tiers to carry out a misconduct. How could Qin Feng let that happen? They already breached the contract!¡±

    ¡°The heck is the Sheng family doing?¡±

    ¡°I heard that Qin Feng robbed them of the market in East Sea City!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve also heard that it¡¯s because Qin Feng got his hands on some...Glittering Gold Sand.¡±

    At that moment, everyone¡¯s faces turned pale.

    Huaxia had an abundance of resources. In the Great Rift Age, many times a spatial rift was not a crisis but an opportunity. Those who could seize the moment often soared above the rest.

    By now, those who had oncee out of those opportunities were in a retreat, which indirectly showed how much power they actually had.

    Qin Feng, as the one surviving B-tier, naturally gained a lot of attention.

    It was just that with how Qin Feng¡¯s going about things people were going to treat him with caution!

    ¡°Does this mean that the Sheng family is just an example of what might happen?¡±

    One personmented, with the others agreeing! With the Sheng family being negative reinforcement, the other families would not dare act up.

    ¡°But, is it worth it? Annoying Sheng Lian might not be good in the future for Qin Feng.¡±

    ¡°But...Qin Feng is already B-tier!¡±

    At this time, everyone seemed to be more alert with surprise and panic in their eyes.

 Chapter 711 - Dark Coalition Crackdown

    <h4>Chapter 711: Dark Coalition Crackdown</h4>

    Everyone in Dragon Capital knew that Qin Feng was a prodigy.

    Prodigies could ovee the challenges and boundaries before them, Qin Feng could y a C-tier beast emperor while being a C-tier himself and could even challenge a B-tier beast king. It was just that the markings of his badge made many people subconsciously ignore that.

    After all, in Dragon Capital, B-tiers were the mainstream powerhouses, the A-tiers made up the upper levels of hierarchy and the S-tiers were the strongest of them all!

    ¡°How is he that fast? Thest time he showed up he was only C2, right?¡±

    ¡°Who knows, maybe he never updated his badge before and he was concealing it. He has a dark type ability after all!¡±

    ¡°I wonder how it would look like if he fought other ability users!¡±

    ¡°He even survived a ce like the Divine Mountain!¡±

    ¡°They say he killed an A-tier beast emperor in the eastern sea, one that had almost advanced into a beast deity!¡±

    ¡°Is that for real?¡±

    The discussion about Qin Feng seemed to be endless, but there was one outstanding subject. More and more people had be aware of Qin Feng¡¯s strength and had been paying more and more attention.

    ¡°Looks like Qin Feng has a lot of confidence in himself!¡±

    This thought floated around in many people¡¯s heads, including Sheng Lian¡¯s.

    After the technology announcement that day, Sheng Lian was angry enough to cough out blood but did not take any action.

    Previously, he said that fighting Qin Feng was not a big deal but this time he did not dare to do such a thing.

    Later on, Qin Feng released Sheng Hua, who activated a spatial waymark the moment he was able to and returned to Dragon Capital. Due to his serious injury he was immediately taken away for treatment.

    Sheng Lian naturally arrived quickly.

    ¡°Why were you so careless to be caught by Qin Feng?¡± Sheng Lian did not care that Sheng Hua was injured and immediately went on with the questioning.

    Sheng Hua was lying in the hospital bed at the time in an extremely weak state. He felt embarrassed by Sheng Lian¡¯s line of questioning.

    ¡°My Lord, to be honest I don¡¯t know how Qin Feng discovered us. At that time, Li Keqing and I were moving around 100 meters underground. I used my dark ability to conceal us and Li Keqing was moving forward using his earth ability. Even if someone were to discover us, they couldn¡¯t have been able to catch us if they weren¡¯t an earth ability user!¡±

    Sheng Lian¡¯s eyebrows furrowed, this situation was moreplicated than he thought.

    ¡°100 meters? How is that... you have to borate!¡±

    Sheng Hua did not hide it either. He spoke about how he and Li Keqing suddenly appeared somewhere else as well as what happened to Li Keqing afterward, and how Qin Feng destroyed his legs.

    Sheng Lian was deep in thought for a moment.

    ¡°Did you feel any shift from spatial runes?¡±

    ¡°My Lord, I also have doubts because I found out that something was wrong and transmitted a message to Li Keqing. Originally, I thought of using a spatial waymark and using the earth ability to cause some destruction as our cover to buy us some time. However, my spatial waymark did not activate and Li Keqing... was dead!¡±

    Sheng Lian¡¯s expression became even more solemn.

    He never expected Qin Feng to be so strong, and even had a spatial ability which made it impossible for people to defend against him. If he wanted to fight back there was nobody that could stop him.

    ¡°My Lord, what should we do after this?¡± Sheng Hua asked.

    Sheng Lian was quiet for a while; as if he did not want to answer; and was thinking that Sheng Hua¡¯s role in this was not small and could not be ignored.

    Sheng Hua was special. He was a rare dark ability user and had been trained as a killer since his youth, as such he had done a lot of disgraceful things.

    Due to this, he was important.

    ¡°What do you think?¡±

    Sheng Hua spoke but with difficulty, ¡°My Lord, I think it is better if we don¡¯t continue provoking Qin Feng.¡±

    ¡°Eh?¡± Sheng Lian looked at the man with surprise. ¡°I thought that since you got slighted like this that you¡¯d want me to organize someone to get back at him?¡±

    Sheng Hua shook his head and let out a bitterugh. ¡°I think I¡¯m afraid of him!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s menacing prowess and Bai Li¡¯s strange ability made him not want to face them again and prayed that he would never ever have to for the rest of his life!

    ¡°Then... we will be letting this matter go!¡± Sheng Lian did not say much else to the man because he agreed with Sheng Hua¡¯s approach and even thanked him for being so forward.

    Otherwise, it would have looked really bad on the Sheng family¡¯s patriarch¡¯s part!

    ***

    These days, Fengli City was quite lively, the whole city was celebrating.

    Their way of greeting had changed from ¡°Did you eat yet?¡± to ¡°Did your ce bloom yet?¡±

    In short, this sort of joy meant that Fengli City was continuing to advance.

    Qin Feng was worried about something else at this time.

    ¡°B-tier beast emperor crystal cores, there aren¡¯t enough!¡±

    In this world, although the S-tier was the highest tier, the top of humanity were the A-tiers and the best they could do was hunt down B-tier beast emperors.

    The ones that A-tiers could produce were obviously not enough.

    Qin Feng was now very rich, so rich that he could basically rival a country!

    His trip to the East Sea State had him gain the spatial rune equipment inside the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s body, the reward money for the Glutton Leviathan, a collection of different spirit herbs, the Glittering Gold Sand and materials from the Devil Mountain.

    All of those valued up to a horrifying amount.

    He had a lot of money, but there just were not enough B-tier beast emperor crystal cores to go around!

    ¡°Eat the Devil Mountain¡¯s crystal core. That should be good enough for now! After a few days, we¡¯re going to the ck Dragon Auction!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±

    Qin Feng grinned, a faint hint of bloodthirst in his eyes.

    ¡°An auction of the Dark Coalition¡¯s forces!¡±

    Its location was in the ck Citadel!

    It was a hundred times more dangerous than the City of Death andparable to Dragon Capital in the Huaxia Alliance. Due to that, the oversea ind that it was on waspletely blocked off.

    That was truly a ce where the Dark Coalition existed!

    For a while, Qin Feng and Bai Li stayed at the Fengli colony. Due to Qin Feng reaching B-tier, the harassment they faced before in Cinderst City had simmered down!

    It seemed that during this time many aptitude users had begun to be truly afraid of Qin Feng because he had already touched that threshold of power!

    Once he reached B-tier, everything had changed!

    However, this calm would onlyst for half a month.

    In May, Shang Han called.

    Originally, this season was supposed to be a safe season and support tasks would not be delegated. Various regions had already passed their most troubling times.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I really want you to practice hard but this time it¡¯s a bitplicated, so I decided to ask you to step forward,¡± Shang Han said.

    ¡°What seems to be the issue that¡¯s bothering you, Regent Shang?¡± Qin Feng raised a brow.

    ¡°People from the surrounding alliances have invited us to crackdown an S-tier Dark Coalition member!¡±

    At that moment, Qin Feng¡¯s brows furrowed with concern.

 Chapter 712 - Helping the Amazon Alliance

    <h4>Chapter 712: Helping the Amazon Alliance</h4>

    ¡°Are they crazy? Sieging the S-tier forces?¡±

    There would definitely be S-tier aptitude users among the S-tier forces.

    What was the total number of S-tier aptitude users in the world? At most, there were about fifty of them that were recognized by names.

    The Huaxia Alliance was spearheaded by five S-tiers, guardians from the east, west, south, north,bined with Long Ting from Dragon Capital.

    But some of the S-tiers were hidden, some of them were rumored to be dead, or had returned from death.

    While the Dark Coalition actually had more S-tiers with them, Z was exactly the S-tier that had true hidden capabilities!

    One could imagine the horrifying capabilities of those S-tier dark forces that had already been discovered.

    ¡°Perhaps they are really crazy, the Amazon Alliance is the organizer, they are located in an area that is in constant chaos. ording to some sources, they have hidden ties with the Dark Coalition too!¡±

    ¡°The Amazon Alliance?¡±

    Qin Feng frowned in irritation.

    It was located at the western part of Huaxia, an area that was not evenrger than any states within the Northern region, but it was a densely popted area. Therefore, ultra beasts were heavily zoned out from the area, it had then slowly be a safer zone, but was constantly troubled by conflicts.

    Without threats from the ultra beasts, resources were exploited excessively, even iming the ownership on several hills would result in a fight.

    ¡°It is obviously a trap, why bother going?!¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°From the support request submitted, we were told that the S-tier Dark Coalition member is just one of the reference points, and the S-tier aptitude user will not return. It would be a good opportunity. They have also invited other Human Alliances in the surroundings, including the Japanese, Australian, West American and Philippines. All five forces will contribute two B-tiers each!¡±

    Qin Feng recalled all four forces in his mind and mocked with a sneer, ¡°Hmph, what is the intention of the Amazon Alliance? Aren¡¯t those the alliances that were at the Divine Mountain?!¡±

    Shang Han nodded and answered with a deep voice, ¡°It is the Amazon Alliance¡¯s idea. With the limited number of A-tier aptitude users, stationing them only at some resource points would be an overkill. We have lost a bunch of B-tiers at the Huaxia Alliance, and some of the ces have been left unguarded. Although the recruitment only requires two headcounts, it is definitely the Amazon Alliance¡¯s intention to sniff us out!¡±

    ¡°Understood!¡± Qin Feng nodded.

    It was necessary to only send out elites to participate in the support!

    Not because they were giving full cooperation to the organizer, but the first intention was to ensure that the elites were able to secure their own safety and return safely. The second intention was to not to be belittled by the others!

    Especially in such a mission!

    ¡°Well then, apart from me, who else will you be sending?¡±

    Shang Han answered, ¡°General Xu Qing!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned again and asked, ¡°Why is it still a Northerner?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a coincidence for the Northern region to be so far away from the East Sea, and we have suffered the least losses!¡± Shang Han exined.

    Despite the appearance of spatial waymarks that had allowed worldwide travel to be fulfilled by only a spatial passage, the East Sea was coincidently located at the far south, which was why most of the B-tiers from the Southern, Western, and Eastern regions were involved. In contrast, the Northern region which was located in the far north was absent and escaped the massacre.

    As a matter of fact, Shang Han¡¯s unspoken intention was due to Qin Feng¡¯s recent performance that had outshone the others. Everyone else would not have any doubts toward him, also, Shang Han would not have forgotten the opportunity to utilize her people.

    Come to think of it, Xu Qing was the one who was constantly sent out for support missions. Only when the others were discussing it, everyone had then voted for Qin Feng, hoping that he could take care of the matter.

    The entire movement was driven by a hidden influence from behind.

    Shang Han was not unaware, but her faith in Qin Feng had superseded her concerns.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are now representing me and the Northern region, do not let the others look down on us. But be careful, if there are any uncertainties, retreat immediately, understand?¡±

    Qin Feng squinted slightly and seemed to have realized something, he then nodded.

    ¡°Understood!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Themunication ended, Qin Feng began to pack up his things and informed Bai Li about the mission. She was required to be stationed at Fengli again.

    If any sudden threats were to arise, Bai Li could also locate Qin Feng immediately.

    On the next day, Qin Feng was all prepared. Someone had approached to deliver the spatial waymark. Qin Feng and Xu Qing agreed to depart at the same time.

    Qin Feng travelled through the spatial passage, and upon opening his eyes, the surrounding scenery had already changed.

    Qin Feng looked around and saw a devastated city from afar.

    To him, it was not even the size of a small-sized colony of the Huaxia Alliance.

    But Qin Feng remained still as he had been to the Amazon Alliance several times, he was clearly aware of the chaotic situation around the area.

    Two minutester, spatial fluctuations began to emerge around Qin Feng, followed by an activation of a spatial passage, and the appearance of a jacked man.

    It was Xu Qing!

    ¡°General Xu!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, haha, I should be calling you General Qin now!¡±

    ¡°Please don¡¯t, you can just call me Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°You too, stop calling me General Xu, just use my name, or Elder Xu works fine too!¡±

    ¡°I should still address you as Brother Xu!¡± Qin Feng was still being very respectful toward Xu Qing. Before rebirth, Xu Qing was an excellent and well-mannered general, and he had won Qin Feng¡¯s respect.

    ¡°Well, I shall then ept the entrusted respect of being addressed as an elder brother!¡± Xu Qingughed.

    It seemed to be an extremely dangerous mission. However, Xu Qing was surprisingly relieved by the apaniment of Qin Feng.

    Xu Qing looked around and his expression turned sour.

    Obviously, the surrounding was in a terrible state. Surprisingly, nobody was assigned there to take charge of the reception. It had certainly drawn instinctive doubts, rting the situation to something unfortunate.

    It was at that moment, a buzzing sound echoed. Twobat hovercopters appeared from the edge of the sky, and they were flying toward them.

    ¡°Seems like somebody ising for us!¡± Xu Qing said.

    ¡°Maybe not!¡± Qin Feng frowned and activated his consciousness; it was targeted toward thosebat hovercopters.

    Due to Qin Feng¡¯s powerful consciousness, even the opponents did not notice that they were already being targeted by a B-tier aptitude user.

    As soon as both of thebat hovercopters saw Qin Feng, they took an unexpected dive and swirled in the air to showcase their moves.

    To Qin Feng, it was definitely a provocative move.

    Swoosh!

    Swoosh!

    Surprisingly, they were aiming at the location Qin Feng and Xu Qing were at.

    Xu Qing, who was still a little doubtful of the situation, was instantly angered by the unexpected esction of the situation!

    ¡°What¡¯s going on, are they really attacking us?¡± Xu Qing was struck by disbelief.

    Via his consciousness, he noticed that the passengers on the hovercopters were merely E-tiers, how could they be so arrogant?

    ¡°They must be from the Dark Coalition; this is amon scene at the Amazon!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s activated consciousness was aimed at both of thebat hovercopters.

    Amidst the chaotic shouting of the aptitude users, both hovercopters instantly collided into each other.

 Chapter 713 - Against Qin Fengâ€™s Machineries?

    <h4>Chapter 713: Against Qin Feng¡¯s Machineries?</h4>

    Pow!

    Thebat hovercopters had raised their protective shields and blocked the attack!

    Both of them then turned around and intended to escape.

    ¡°Wanting to escape after provoking others? Really?¡±

    Qin Feng sneered and took out two hand grenades from his spatial rune equipment.

    Qin Feng gently pressed onto a button, and a ray of white beam was sted out from the hand grenade!

    Energy beam.

    It was shot out for more than a hundred meters away and instantly torched the external part of thebat hovercopter; the paper-thin energy shield was instantly torn apart.

    Compared to the impetuous and loud missile earlier, the energy beam was obviously more destructive, the impact caused by it was jaw-dropping.

    All of a sudden, thebat hovercopter was pierced through. Furthermore, as both of them were aligned one after another, the energy beam skewered both of them together like a candy stick.

    Szz szz szz szz!

    Ear-piercing noises were heard from the cracklingbat hovercopters. Finally, they were no longer capable of withstanding the destructive energy!

    Boom!

    Both of thebat hovercopters sparked and exploded in the sky, forming into giant mushroom clouds.

    Meanwhile, aptitude users that were trapped inside were merely E-tiers, they would certainly be dead!

    ¡°Such a broken ce, how dare those people act so arrogantly?¡± Xu Qing definitely had a bad impression of the ce.

    ¡°Not everywhere is like Huaxia!¡±

    Within the Huaxia Alliance, the dark forces had much lesser influence than the alliance. Also, they were afraid of being too high-profile within the cities of the Human Alliance, and they had to lie low.

    ¡°That¡¯s true, it¡¯s weird that we are not being weed by anyone.¡± Xu Qing was a little dissatisfied, however, he maintained his well-mannered behaviour and refrained fromining. He took out hismunicator and enabled the trantion mode, and he was about to contact Amazon.

    However, as soon as the call was connected, they were alerted by a beeping sound from the surroundings.

    Xu Qing and Qin Feng were ancient warriors that had sharp hearing, they instantly realized that it was from behind them. It was sort of muffled by something to conceal and weaken the sound.

    Both of them immediately turned around and stared with frowns on their faces.

    They realized that it was still the charred ground that they had seen earlier. However, when looked closer, it was supposed to be the waymark spot of the spatial passage where most of thebat hovercopters would descend and transform into hover cars before driving into the city.

    Hence, there used to be some buildings around, but they had all been devastated into ruins.

    Without their consciousness scanning around the surroundings that spanned up to a hundred meters in radius, both Qin Feng and Xu Qing did not notice the changes either.

    ¡°Reveal yourself!¡± Xu Qingmanded with a deep voice.

    Whoom!

    Soil was elevated from the ground, and a thin and weak teenager walked out from it.

    It was an E-tier teenager that was about seventeen or eighteen years old, from the runes that lingered around, he was an E-tier earth ability user.

    ¡°Greetings to you, I was sent by Master Lunes to wee both of you, my capability is a little weak and I needed some other methods to hide from the enemies!¡±

    Qin Feng and Xu Qing looked at each other in disbelief, Xu Qing transmitted with his consciousness, ¡°Is this the city where you belong? Or is this the enemy¡¯s city? Why isn¡¯t there any basic protection?¡±

    ¡°Keke, Master, this must be your first visit to Guangya City, this ce has always been this way, let¡¯s go, follow me to the city, it might be safer there!¡± The teenager exined.

    Xu Qing was bewildered.

    How could the two highly esteemed B-tiers not give the person any sense of security?

    Was that a joke?

    Qin Feng did not question any further, and he immediately took out his hover car.

    Qin Feng¡¯s hover car was a product from the Fengli Organization!

    It might no longer be considered as a hover car, but an aircraft that was unnoticeable from its appearance. The entire car was wider than a small-sized hover car, it looked more like abat tank with its silhouetted lines that were smoothly showcasing its attractive external look, and emphasizing its sleek and advanced attributes.

    The teenager was unable to hide his glowing eyes and his obvious fondness toward the hovercar. He was even afraid that dirt on his body might mess up Qin Feng¡¯s car as he carefully removed dirt from his body with his consciousness.

    Three of them entered the car, Qin Feng sat in the driver seat and fired up the car.

    However, Qin Feng was immediately alerted by beeping sounds from the scanning device in his car.

    ¡°Energy fluctuations detected, a thousand meters away from behind, please be on alert!¡±

    Qin Feng was caught by surprise!

    Meanwhile, the teenager turned pale with fear and was constantly turning around to check. There were more than ten hovercopters approaching, and missiles were already sted out beforehand.

    ¡°Ah!!! They are here!¡± The teenager panicked and shouted, ¡°Quick, hide in the city! They have powerful machineries with them, too many of them.¡±

    Xu Qing was instantly irritated by the situation.

    However, Qin Fengughed and epted the challenge. ¡°Going against my machineries?¡±

    Qin Fengunched the aircraft and altered its direction to go in a surprising reverse.

    Besides, Qin Feng had turned on a switch that enabled the car to transform quickly. Both sides of the car were added with a pair of unexpected wings, causing it to seemingly lose its sturdiness. Whenpared to an actual hovercopter, such an aircraft design was rather small-sized.

    Swoosh!

    The aircraft instantly lifted itself up and rose to the skies, even Xu Qing felt the intense thrust, not to mention the screaming teenager that was nailed down on the backseat.

    Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

    Three missiles barely brushed past the aircraft before colliding into each other as Qin Feng took over the controls with his consciousness.

    Szz szz szz szz!

    Multiple shots of light beams were sted out from the aircraft, and one of the hovercopters was instantly hit. Its protective ss was pierced through and the pilot was killed.

    Thebat hovercopter took a nted dive and it instantly exploded.

    Qin Feng pulled out a series of swift movements with his aircraft like an agile butterfly, manoeuvring among the tens ofbat hovercopters while gradually taking all of them down.

    It seemed like two was not enough so they sent another dozen? They were just giving out free kills to Qin Feng, how could he not fulfil their death wishes?

    Szz szz szz!

    Boom!

    Boom boom!

    It was a piece of cake for Qin Feng to ughter all of them, after taking down more than tenbat hovercopters, the remaining ones were nning to escape.

    Obviously, they had noticed that they were no match for Qin Feng!

    ¡°Still nning to escape? Would that really be possible?¡±

    Qin Feng was infuriated. His consciousness was activated asunch switches aligned on the control panel before him were all activated. All the monitoring screens were targeting onebat hovercopter respectively.

    There were eightbat hovercopters in total, all escaping in different directions. However, crosshair cursors on the screens were already locking on them.

    ¡°Die now!¡±

    Qin Fengmanded, and an instant white beam was sted out!

    Eight white energy beams were shot out simultaneously and they arced across the sky.

    The white beam instantly hit the targetedbat hovercopters that were at a far off distance, none of them were able to escape!

    Szz szz szz szz szz szz szz szz!

    Boom boom boom...

    All eight of thebat hovercopters exploded and were destroyed at almost the same moment.

    Meanwhile, the teenager who was sitting in the backseat was utterly shocked, it seemed to be a moment of total disbelief for him!

 Chapter 714 - City of War Zone

    <h4>Chapter 714: City of War Zone</h4>

    Qin Feng witnessed the crushing scene and gradually switched the mode of his machineries and departed toward the city. At the same moment, Qin Feng nced at hismunicator and identified the location that he was at.

    Greenlit City!

    Qin Feng was left speechless, how could that be recognized as a city? Was that not just a vige?!

    However, Qin Feng was aware of the hardships that were faced by other ces, he certainly understood that and remained silent.

    But the teenager was surprisingly excited and began to question more.

    ¡°Master, you have a powerfulbat tank, and it can even fly!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I call it an aircraft, but the energy consumption is still on par with any ordinarybat hovercopters!¡± However, Qin Feng did not exin further on its speed, as the travelling speed of the aircraft was double the speed of ordinarybat hovercopters!

    Obviously, Xu Qing was very keen to find out more about it as he asked, ¡°What is the price of it?¡±

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°One for fifty billion, if you are interested in it, you can have one for free, General Xu Qing!¡±

    ¡°Please don¡¯t, it¡¯s better for us brothers to settle our ounts without any bias. I will directly ce an order with your Fengli Organization, haha. Let me remind you, I am also considered a premium member with Fengli!¡±

    ¡°Haha, I shall then give you a friendly discounted price of eighty percent off!¡±

    ¡°That sounds good to me!¡±

    Both of them were having a joyful conversation while the teenager who was sitting behind was afraid of joining in.

    ¡°...this is so expensive!¡±

    An ordinarybat hovercopter with poor features would only cost a billion to own. When Qin Feng purchased his Sky Dweller at Shadong Town long ago, it was priced at six billion, and he was already seen by the others as crazy rich.

    Of course, the aircraft that cost a whopping fifty billion was definitely a jaw-dropping price.

    ¡°Expensive? Not at all, look at those scraps earlier, when faced against Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft, they couldn¡¯t even take one hit!¡± Xu Qing exined. ¡°Also, you can propose this to your master, if you think that the machineries of your opponents are powerful, just purchase your machineries from the Fengli Organization, wouldn¡¯t that then be a piece of cake for you to take down your opponents?¡±

    Xu Qing took the opportunity to advocate Qin Feng¡¯s machineries.

    Qin Feng chuckled and did not stop Xu Qing as he understood that it was his kind intention.

    However, if the people there really cared about their ce, it would not be such a devastated ce that had fallen into ruins.

    As expected by Qin Feng, the teenager shook his head and answered, ¡°The financial status of our city is near its deficit numbers, how could we possibly afford to pay such an expensive price? We are really poor, and we can only rely on donations from the powerful figures, why not both of you...¡±

    Qin Feng let out a disgusted snort and answered, ¡°This is not even my alliance, why would I donate?¡±

    The teenager was immediately silenced.

    The aircraft then entered into Greenlit City, and it was no longer tailed by people from the Dark Coalition. Qin Feng and Xu Qing had finally entered the city!

    As soon as the aircraft entered the city, it was eyed on by countless numbers of yearning citizens. Obviously, they were curious about the presence of some unknown highly-esteemed figures.

    Furthermore, some children who were barely surviving in the war zone appeared from a corner. They immediately stood in the way of the aircraft and kowtowed.

    All of them were emaciated and sickly malnourished, full of dirt, and seemed like they had just crawled out from an underground waterway. They were like emptied souls with bright green pupils simr to eyes of a wolf.

    Qin Feng remained emotionless as he lifted up his aircraft to a higher altitude and headed toward his destination.

    As the aircraft flew by, the children were shocked and stunned. They returned to the corner and acted like they were preparing for iing bombings.

    Xu Qing was instantly depressed by the scene and lost his joyful mood.

    Throughout his tireless effort of securing the safety of his own homnd, Xu Qing was unwilling to witness scenes like this where children were losing homes and apathetic adults were consumed by their own greed. It seemed like the entire city had sunk into a dead and perishing atmosphere.

    Of course, Xu Qing did not me Qin Feng for his actions, he was right to leave that ce earlier as they were running out of time.

    ¡°We have arrived, this is the ce!¡±

    The teenager said as they had finally arrived at a ce with ordinary looking residential buildings. It was an area filled with vis and surrounded by energy embedded railings, a bunch of armed gunners were guarding the area and the poor were afraid of getting close to the area.

    Qin Feng got down from the aircraft, stored his craft back into the spatial ring as he took a nce at the soldiers.

    They were armed with outdated firearms and worn-outbat fatigues; it was a pitiful scene to look at.

    The teenager went ahead andmunicated in hisnguage. With full respect, he then led Qin Feng to a vi.

    It was a crowded vi, filled with the smell of refreshing alcohol and delicious food.

    The teenager led Qin Feng and Xu Qing to a fat-bellied aptitude user who was still in a merry conversation with another person. The conversation ended as soon as Qin Feng came into sight.

    ¡°Governor, both of them are the emissaries from the Huaxia Alliance! Master Xu Qing, Master Qin Feng!¡± The teenager called out their names and turned toward Qin Feng. ¡°This is the governor of our Greenlit City, Governor Neil Bol!¡±

    ¡°Hi, pleasure to meet you! General Xu Qing, I have long heard about you, when I was informed that you would be here, I was very happy!¡± Neil Bol extended the warm wee with a handshake to Xu Qing!

    ¡°Nice to meet you!¡± Xu Qing epted the handshake with respect.

    ¡°So, you are the young talent General Qin Feng? From now on, I will have to witness your great deeds!¡±

    ¡°I will certainly not disappoint you!¡±

    Both of them shook hands.

    ¡°Please ept my appreciation, feel free to enjoy yourselves, and be reminded that those thugs might be here anytime!¡± Neil Bol cracked a joke.

    Qin Feng was not humored at all, he only responded with a nod to indicate that he was listening. In actual fact, he had already given the ce and people a good sweep.

    There were thirteen other B-tiers present, all dressed differently and equipped with badges of all sorts. However, it was obvious that representatives from all five alliances had already arrived, and three among them were from the Amazon Alliance.

    Even if the remaining representatives were unavable to be present at that time, as the major five alliances had already contributed ten headcounts in total, the Amazon Alliance would have to at least contribute a matching ten headcounts from their end too.

    Or else, the major five alliances might misunderstand themselves as pawn sacrifices for the Amazon Alliance, it would then inject disparity to the situation.

    Meanwhile, a short and small man walked over, reeking of alcohol. He seemed to have heard Neil Bol¡¯s statement and immediately reacted loudly, ¡°Keke, who would care about those from the Dark Coalition? Please be assured, Governor Neil Bol, I will be wiping the floor with them, and I¡¯ll show them the power of the ancient warrior sword style from the Japanese Alliance!¡±

    It was definitely an arrogant and conceited person.

    All of a sudden, machinery rumblings echoed and were heard from afar.

    The same chase was uring twice in a day, not only Qin Feng who had experienced rebirth, even Xu Qing was able to identify the familiar noise.

    Combat hovercopters!

    Furthermore, thebat hovercopters were travelling at extremely high speed!

    Buzz buzz buzz!

    Propellers were heard buzzing while Qin Feng was alerted by rms that were instantly triggered.

    In Greenlit City, countless children and adults instantly hid themselves in the air-raid shelters, and some of those spots were merely underground waterways.

 Chapter 715 - Itâ€™s Definitely a Trap!

    <h4>Chapter 715: It¡¯s Definitely a Trap!</h4>

    The only thing that was left was the enemies¡¯ hovercopter!

    Whoosh!

    Another missile was fired!

    ¡°Boom!¡±

    As the explosion erupted, the people in the area seemed to be unfazed. This seemed to have already be part of the norm in this war-ridden ce.

    However, the people from the Human Alliance did not expect things to be so heated. Neil Bol, who was already as drunk as a skunk, too was now half-sober from all the explosions. He raised his voice and cursed furiously to the sky.

    Although Qin Feng did not understand what they were saying, he too understood that they were already scrambling to get their weapons to fight back.

    Sure enough, Greenlit City started to fire their cannons and rifles at the enemies¡ªeven the vi area too had started to fire their weapons. They did not care if their attacks would engulf the other areas and injure the civilians at all when they opened fire.

    ¡°Sir, let¡¯s head out and check it out!¡±

    An aptitude user from the Philippines Alliance suggested with his conscious energy.

    Everyone too looked at Neil Bol, awaiting hismand.

    The enemies had struck his front door now. He must fight back.

    ¡°Alright! And I¡¯ve got you all here too! I believe that, in time, they will retreat after witnessing our strength!¡± Neil Bol invited everyone to walk through the door first before tailing everyone from behind.

    Qin Feng did not care about what Neil Bol was thinking about. He walked straight out of the door. For quite some time now, he was already quite pissed at the enemies for attacking the ce numerous times in a row.

    As soon as he walked through the door, Qin Feng saw that there were about fiftybat hovercopters hovering in the air. There were also two huge hover carriers¡ªthese things could carry about three hundred to four hundred men.

    Still, their fire powers were quite underwhelming in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes. It was like witnessing children ying cops and robbers.

    Meanwhile, Neil Bol¡¯s face turned grim when he saw this. He quickly sent his conscious energy hundreds of meters away to the hover carriers.

    ¡°Who is your leader? Do you guys have a death wish? How dare you send so many people here? Are you taunting us?!¡±

    In response, the enemies replied, ¡°Taunt? You were the one that destroyed 22 of ourbat hovercopters! If you don¡¯t pay for the damages, I¡¯ll level your Greenlit City to ruins!¡±

    Neil Bol instinctively retorted, ¡°Maul Goh? You¡¯re Maul Goh, right? What a dreadful vampire! You¡¯re such a dirty, greedy, despicable fool! Since when did I destroy 22 of yourbat hovercopters? If you want to scam money from us, I can tell you that we don¡¯t have money for you! Not even a cent! You better ask for a much reasonable price!¡±

    The others from other alliances looked at one another, struggling to keep a straight face¡ªthis scene was quite a weirdly amusing one to witness. Even the ones from the Japanese Alliance, who were usually serious and respectful, were staring at Neil Bol like he was some pitiful worm.

    Twenty twobat helicopters? Those would not cost much money¡ªit was like about a few dozen billion. Besides, Neil Bol did not seem to want to fight off these enemies at all. In fact, it seemed like he actually intended to pay them off...?

    So, this was how the usual Greenlit City was like? Being bullied by bandits?

    ¡°Hmph! They think they can juste and threaten us with equipment like these? What do they think we are?¡± A member of the Philippines Alliance was, however, not amused.

    Thus, in a pull of his conscious energy, he forcefully grabbed a dozen cannon balls in the air and hurled them back at thebat hovercopters.

    Seeing this, the hovercopters immediately activated their energy shields and blocked the attack.

    Maul Goh yelled out loudly, ¡°So... were you the one who was attacking us just now?!¡±

    Qin Feng was too quick in defeating the twenty twobat hovercopters earlier. As such, these bandits from the Dark Coalition did not know who was the one who defeated them. Now that they saw a person from the Philippines Alliance attacking them, he thought that it was them that were attacking them earlier.

    As Maul Goh was ring at everyone from his hover carrier¡¯s deck, another person walked out from inside¡ªa man who was about two meters tall with a full body of muscles. From afar, he looked like a walking, humanoid fortress.

    Qin Feng recognized this man.

    ¡°That¡¯s ¡®Steel Giant¡¯, the A-tier Sal Bar!¡±

    This was a member of the S-tier Dark Organization¡ª¡±Devil¡¯s Eye¡±. Sal Bar was an A1-tier Metal ability user. And he was insanely strong.

    This group of bandits had employed the aid of an A-tier!

    Nheless... All that Qin Feng did was take out a branch of their organization. So, how did this attract an A-tier over?

    This also exined why the enemies seemed to be so fearless in their attacks now.

    ¡°I heard that there are a lot of new kids joining the Human Alliance? Heh. That¡¯s good. It¡¯s been a long time since Ist ate a human-meat snack!¡± Sal Bar widened his mouth as heughed out loud, showcasing his metallic teeth for everyone to see.

    The short warrior from the Japanese Alliance started to feel frightened after seeing Sal Bar. In fact, not only him¡ªthe others too were feeling terrified after seeing the A-tier appearing.

    ¡°This... This is a trap... Hey, I thought you guys said that there aren¡¯t any A-tiers appearing in this region?¡±

    Neil Bol shook his head. ¡°No! No No No! We said that there is no S-tier. We don¡¯t even know that there is an A-tier amongst their ranks!¡±

    ¡°Damn it! So, you lied to us?¡±

    ¡°This is a misunderstanding! I assure you! Besides, we can solve this quite easily. All I need to do is pay for the hovercopters, that¡¯s all!¡±

    After hearing this, the people on the hover carriers started to nod their heads, seemingly agreeing to what he had said.

    ¡°Yeah, each person only has to pay a few trillion if we all fork up the money!¡±

    After hearing this, the others were so pissed they almost fainted!

    Those hovercopters only cost at most around a few dozen billion! And now, they needed to pay trillions for those crappy hovercopters?! What a joke!

    Yet, Sal Bar was not joking. In fact, this was actually what they had been doing all this while to Greenlit City. This was also why Neil Bol was so financially poor.

    Right now, even Xu Qing too was frowning. ¡°So, what do we do now, Qin Feng? I think this is a trap. Even the enemies knew that we wereing. Someone leaked this information to them.¡±

    When they travelled here, they were doing so on a low profile. Even when they were moving around, both Xu Qing and Qin Feng did not even wear their B-tier badges. And from what Sal Bar said, it seemed that they already knew that they wereing.

    ¡°Of course. It¡¯s quite clear now that there¡¯s a traitor in the Amazon Alliance. But if they think they can get away with doing this, they¡¯re so wrong.¡±

    Meanwhile, Neil Bol mocked up a terrified and panic look and asked everyone with his conscious energy.

    ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, let¡¯s just pay them. Word has it that this Sal Bar is really strong!¡±

    Xu Qing smirked. ¡°Sure. If you want to pay them, you pay. We can¡¯t meddle with the affairs of the Amazon Alliance.¡±

    ¡°Yeah! That¡¯s right!¡±

    ¡°If you want to please them by paying them, then do it yourself!¡±

    Suddenly, a teenager appeared next to Neil Bol. It was the same teenager who weed Qin Feng. He raised his finger and pointed at Qin Feng. ¡°He has money! And he was the one who destroyed Devil¡¯s Eye¡¯s hovercopters!¡±

    In an instant, everyone¡¯s eyes were on Qin Feng.

    Right now, no one wanted to pay the ransom. And no one wanted to fight an A-tier enemy.

    ¡°Then, he¡¯ll have to answer to what he has done!¡±

    ¡°Yes! He¡¯s the one who¡¯s responsible!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! We have nothing to do with this!¡±

    Qin Feng sighed at how quick they changed their attitude.

    However, a curve of smile beamed up on Qin Feng¡¯s face.

    ¡°Well, yes. Perhaps we can solve this.¡±

 Chapter 716 - Letâ€™s Just Kill Him

    <h4>Chapter 716: Let¡¯s Just Kill Him</h4>

    ¡°What?¡±

    Everyone stared at Qin Feng, wondering what kind of method he intended to use to solve this predicament.

    ¡°It¡¯s easy. Let¡¯s just kill him.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s answer stunned everyone.

    The man from the Japanese Alliance shook his head and grumbled, ¡°What a joke! That man is an A-tier!¡±

    The others too were shaking their heads and looking at Qin Feng like he was some fool.

    Of course, their discussion was also being spied on by Sal Bar. It was quite easy for an A-tier to listen in on the enemies¡¯ open discussion like this.

    Sal Bar sharply leered at Qin Feng. He felt that this young man was openly taunting him.

    ¡°Well, sometimes... it¡¯s better for me to show you weaklings a hand of mine for you to know your ce!¡±

    After saying so, Sal Bar raised his hand and summoned a gigantic metallic dragon, which then rammed at the vi¡¯s energy field straight from the sky!

    The energy field was, naturally, too weak against such an attack.

    Crash!

    The vi¡¯s energy field was shattered in an instant!

    Without a shield protecting them, the ability users felt as though an overpowering presence was staring down at them. An increasing anxiety started to loom in everyone¡¯s heart.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng too raised his hand and summoned his fire dragon.

    ¡°Roarr!!¡±

    The fire dragon seemed to be evenrger in size than the one that Sal Bar had summoned!

    Then, the two dragons rammed against one another!

    The metallic dragon started to melt and turn into liquid metal before falling from the sky.

    The dragon that Sal Bar intended to threaten the ability users was defeated by Qin Feng¡¯s dragon in just one blow?!

    Not only that, the fire dragon was now moving around in the sky, covering the hover carriers¡¯ and hovercopters¡¯ line of sight, shielding the ability users from them. As such, the bandits did not know that after the fire dragon had appeared, Qin Feng was already on the move and had left the vi.

    However, Xu Qing and the others saw him leaping to the sky and straight at the enemies. They were shocked to see him suddenly striking head-on. Qin Feng¡¯s body was enveloped in dark energy. Since he was now a B-tier, it was quite difficult for an A-tier to spot him.

    Using his Dragon Steps, Qin Fengnded on a hovercopter.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    In under a second, Qin Feng had cut the hovercopter in half using his Verdant Emperor Saber!

    With a light kick, Qin Feng then kicked down the ruined hovercopter, and darted straight at another hovercopter. And then...

    Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!!!

    Qin Feng cut down another five hovercopters using the same method.

    His insanely powerful internal energy allowed him tounch his attacks continuously without tiring him down!

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boooooom!

    As the hovercopters exploded below him, Qin Feng flew closer to the carrier!

    Then, when he saw Sal Bar...

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    A powerful sh was hurled straight out of Qin Feng¡¯s saber.

    Sal Bar stared at his attack as it got closer and closer.

    Thud!

    Sal Bar took a powerful leap to the air, crushing the steel floor that he was standing on.

    He actually decided to evade the attack instead of blocking it!

    And of course, the hover carrier could not evade Qin Feng¡¯s zing Sky. This also meant that Maul Goh was not able to evade the attack.

    ¡°Argh!!¡± Maul Goh instinctively summoned his internal energy and shielded himself against Qin Feng¡¯s zing sky.

    Still, this was not enough.

    His internal energy was too weak against it.

    ¡°Pfft!!!¡±

    The de¡¯s attack sliced open Maul Goh¡¯s shield and cracked open his skull almost instantly.

    Not only that, it kept on shing onward and cut the whole hover carrier vertically like it was butter!

    Everyone saw the ck crimson fiery sh from below!

    Five secondster, the fiery attack started to fade away as the people that leaped to the sky earlier were gone.

    Meanwhile, Maul Goh¡¯s headless body dropped down from the sky with the now destroyed hull of the hover carrier. Then...

    Booom!!

    The entire carrier exploded and was blown into pieces!

    This explosion was even bigger than the ones from the hovercopters earlier!

    After seeing this, the other hover carrier quickly activated its energy shield and began to retreat. Meanwhile, on a high-rise building¡¯s roof nearby, Qin Feng and Sal Bar were having a stare-down.

    Thud!

    A corpse fell from the sky and crashed straight onto the floor.

    Sal Bar took a quick nce at the body and recognized the body¡ªit was Maul Goh. This man was a B-tier. That was why he promoted him to be his assistant.

    And in one sh, this right-hand-man of his was dead!

    Sal Bar¡¯s face turned grim after seeing this.

    If he did not decide to bring Maul Goh along, this young man would not have died.

    Of course, Sal Bar would not me himself for his underling¡¯s death. He did not find anything wrong in him abandoning this underling earlier too.

    In fact, his first reaction was that this was all Qin Feng¡¯s fault.

    ¡°Arghhhhh!!¡± Sal Bar yelled out furiously.

    To him, this was originally a simple ransom routine. Normally, all they needed to do was threaten these weaklings a bit and they would pay them droves of cash!

    And now, a nameless weakling had ruined all his n.

    There was no way Sal Bar would let this go lightly.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to tear you to pieces!¡±

    Sal Bar¡¯s body instantly hardened and several steel spikes grew from it. Not only that, the hover carriers and ruined hovercopters were all slowly torn to metallic pieces and formed into long, sharp spears.

    They then hovered in the air and aimed at Qin Feng.

    Then, Sal Bar yelled out furiously and used his conscious energy to hurl all of them at Qin Feng!

 Chapter 717 - Clinging Like the Shadow

    <h4>Chapter 717: Clinging Like the Shadow</h4>

    Qin Feng too had activated his conscious energy and summoned a huge peacock that was made of blue fire.

    Not only that, the blue-fire peacock was as tall as thirty meters! When it pped its massive wings, it felt as though it had covered the entire sky.

    ¡°Screech!¡±

    Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!

    The blue-fire peacock shed with the oing metallic spears. A huge shockwave exploded the instant the peacock¡¯s chest was pierced by the metallic spears.

    Neither of them were actual spears or animal¡ªthey were just manifestations of runes. And fire runes would ovee metallic runes. It wasmon sense¡ªfire would melt metal.

    Thus, the metallic spears were nowpletely dissolved to nothingness.

    Sal Bar leered at Qin Feng with a long face.

    ¡°Just what are you?! Ability user? Or an ancient warrior?!¡± Sal Bar¡¯s consciousness barked furiously at Qin Feng.

    After witnessing Qin Feng¡¯s extremely devastating attack, he thought that Qin Feng was an ancient warrior. So, he was careful to evade every single attack that wasing from Qin Feng.

    And yet now, it was quite apparent that Qin Feng could use rune abilities too! This was so unbelievable.

    It was quite difficult for anyone to train in both of these arts at once. In fact, to reach B-tier in either field was already so great that no one had the time to train in both fields!

    And this man... Qin Feng... this man looked so young! He was practically just a boy in Sal Bar¡¯s eyes! How was this possible?!

    ¡°Well, do you think I¡¯ll tell you just like that?¡±

    In battles, it was best to not show your cards until the best moment had arrived. There was no way Qin Feng would foolishly tell his enemies his full-range of abilities.

    Seeing that Qin Feng was not opening up formunication, Sal Bar¡¯s face turned even grimmer than before. Now, he too had started to put up his guard.

    It seemed that he was not going to pull his punches anymore.

    ¡°Metallic Forest!¡±

    Sal Bar released a cloak of golden energy field. Then, suddenly, everything below under his feet¡ªthe buildings, items within the buildings were all turned into metal. Then, they soared up to the sky and extended toward Qin Feng, as though they wanted to fuse him into their metallic blend of blob.

    In just seconds, Qin Feng was going to be crushed into minced meat!

    ¡°Hmph. Fire Wall!¡±

    Qin Feng released his Fire Wall. In an instant, the whole building was engulfed in fire. In a matter of minutes, the floor had also turned intova!

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand and pointed at Sal Bar. Theva sshed up to a few dozen meters into the sky and crashed at Sal Bar like a tsunami.

    Pssstt!!!!!!

    Everything that was in theva¡¯s path was burned red, sizzling droves of vapor into the sky.

    Sal Bar¡¯s face turned pale. He quickly formed a steel wall in front of him and blocked theva attack.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand and again, this time, there were dozens of fire dragons that rose up from theva and into the sky. Then, they all plunged down straight at Sal Bar!

    All that Sal Bar could do was just summon his metallic dragon to shield him from this attack.

    Yet, Qin Feng¡¯s attacks kept raining down non-stop. It felt as though it was never going to end!

    ¡°Hehe, how about this?¡±

    ¡°And this attack?¡±

    ¡°Try this one for size!¡±

    ¡°Sal Bar! Hey, Sal Bar! Look out, man. Yeah, look out! I¡¯m going to burn all your hair now if you¡¯re not careful!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s fire runes were more in number than Sal Bar¡¯s supply of metal runes. To add on, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was that of a B-tier emperor. As such, he was almost as powerful as an A-tier.

    After exchanging blows like this for a while, it was quite apparent that Qin Feng had the upper hand.

    Witnessing this, the ones from the other alliances took in a cold breath. Qin Feng was not bluffing earlier. This man was serious when he said ¡°Let¡¯s kill Sal Bar¡±!

    But this Sal Bar was an A-tier! How could he, a B-tier, manage to take him on and pin him down like this?!

    Even the snobbish Japanese Alliance¡¯s ability user approached Xu Qing and asked, ¡°Just who is this young man? He¡¯s really strong. Is he one of the top guns in the Huaxia Alliance?¡±

    Xu Qing shrugged and beamed up a bitter smile. ¡°He¡¯s indeed the best of the best amongst our B-tiers. He can take on people above his tier and still not lose. Not only that, he could very well kill someone who is of a higher tier than him.¡±

    The Japanese ability user frowned, ¡°Look, I do see that he¡¯s quite strong. But it¡¯s quite impossible for a B-tier to kill an A-tier.¡±

    Even though they saw that Qin Feng had the upper hand at the moment, most of them still maintained that an A-tier would still be stronger in terms of consciousness and rune amount. After a long fight, Qin Feng would have expended all of his runes and then it would be his downfall.

    Xu Qing, however, shook his head. Even though he too was not sure that Qin Feng would be able to win this fight, Xu Qing still said, ¡°Right now, these attacks aren¡¯t his strongest strikes though.¡±

    ¡°Well, his saber technique is quite powerful indeed. I have never seen attacks like that. But he suddenly changed his fighting style into using abilities. So, this must mean that his saber technique is too energy draining to use for a long period of time, right?¡±

    Xu Qing just smiled and shook his head.

    He was telling the truth¡ªQin Feng was not just a saber master or a powerful fire ability user. He was a dark ability user!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Wall hadpletely surrounded Sal Bar.

    Sal Bar was basically standing on a building that waspletely melted to just its steel skeletons and foundation. Everything else had been burned and melted intova!

    Booom!!

    Theva started to rise quickly to the sky and was about to hit the roof!

    ¡°Alright! I get it! You¡¯re strong, hotshot! But it¡¯s impossible for you to kill me!¡±

    Sal Bar yelled out furiously.

    Despite what he said, Sal Bar was actually quite confused. Qin Feng was just a B-tier. Yet, from the looks of it, his powers and strength could very well be stronger than an A-tier!

    Nheless, Sal Bar still thought that Qin Feng could not kill him. There was never any chance for a B-tier to kill an A-tier. All he had to do was just wait it out¡ªhe needed to wait until Qin Feng had expended all his reserve of runes.

    Indeed, Sal Bar had used up a lot of his runes. But there was no way a B-tier like Qin Feng had greater rune reserve than him, right?

    ¡°Steel Fortress!¡±

    Sal Bar triggered his consciousness and morphed the steel structure that he was standing on into a massive metallic fortress. Now, he was shielded by steel walls that were at least ten-meter thick. There was no way the fire could hurt him now.

    More importantly, Sal Bar had left enough space within his Steel Fortress to use his spatial waymark. If things were to get really bad, he could always use these to escape. And to use his spatial waymarks, Sal Bar only needed a few seconds to activate them.

    At the same time, Neil Bol was watching the fight from afar with sweat rolling down his forehead. He did not expect that the Huaxia Alliance had someone as strong as Qin Feng.

    Suddenly, they noticed that theva had started to recede. Then, they realized that Qin Feng too had disappeared!

    Sal Bar, meanwhile, took in a deep breath after sensing that Qin Feng was not in the vicinity anymore. He quickly activated his spatial waymark.

    Yet, suddenly... everything around him turned dark.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Qin Feng had finally used his dark ability. Not only that, he had also appeared within the Steel Fortress!

    ¡°What the hell is going on?!¡±

    Sal Bar widened his eyes in shock. He wanted to check his surroundings but no matter how much he tried to look... there was nothing but darkness.

    Not only that, he also felt that he could not feel anything... he could not see, smell, hear... it was like he had lost all five of his senses!

 Chapter 718 - An Impossible Kill

    <h4>Chapter 718: An Impossible Kill</h4>

    Still, Sal Bar was an A-tier. He was quite experienced inbat. As such, it did not take long before he realized that he was under the influence of a dark ability.

    Thus, he quickly called upon his metal runes and spread them around his body, forcing the dark runes away.

    However, when he finally broke free of the dark runes... it was already toote!

    A terrifying de had already reached him! There was no way for him to evade it!

    ¡°Metallize!¡±

    All he could do now was to endure this hit! Usually, it was possible for him to survive this because he had a rather beefy body and sturdy metal runes. Even the weapons that were made from beast emperor materials could not harm him!

    Still... Qin Feng¡¯s de was no ordinary de¡ªit was a God Weapon.

    And at the veryst moment, Sal Bar realized that the de was not aiming at his body. It was instead shing straight at his arm.

    sh!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber cut the arm down like slicing a bar of butter.

    The sh was so fast that Sal Bar did not even feel pain at all when his arm was cut off. And then, he saw the wound. The bones at his elbow... they were allpletely crushed!

    ¡°Grand-ripple Metal!¡±

    Sal Bar instantly knew what was going on! This kid even had equipment that was imbued with this treasure?! Right now, Sal Bar did not feel any greed or envy toward the young man. All he was feeling right now was fear.

    ¡°Argghhhhh!!¡±

    The feeling of pain finally reached Sal Bar¡¯s brain after a few seconds. After crying out in pain, Sal Bar clenched his teeth and took a few steps back before controlling his metal runes to metallize his broken arm, stopping it from bleeding.

    It was then, Sal Bar realized that all his spatial waymarks and spatial equipment were gone!

    That sh... it was not an attack that was trying to kill him¡ªit was aiming to destroy his means of escape.

    And then, Sal Bar saw a burning saber and the young man who was wielding it right in front of him.

    ¡°How is it possible?! How did you get in?!¡±

    ¡°How? I came in when you were unleashing your ability, of course!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no such thing as ¡®impossible¡¯.¡±

    ording to what Qin Feng knew from his previous life, if Sal Bar knew that he was going to lose a fight, he would definitely try to flee.

    This was the real reason why he was so difficult to arrest or kill. He could shield himself with his imprable Steel Fortress and then use his spatial waymarks to flee. This was why Sal Bar was one of the hardest A-tiers to kill.

    Thus, when Qin Feng saw that Sal Bar was using his Steel Fortress, Qin Feng used his dark runes to hide his whereabouts while keeping on with his attacks with Fire Wall.

    That was how he got inside. Sal Bar¡¯s line of sight was blocked by his own skill¡ªSteel Fortress. Not locking on Qin Feng with his consciousness was also his mistake.

    And when the Steel Fortress was formedpletely, the dark surroundings within the ¡°fortress¡± made it even easier for Qin Feng to conceal his appearance.

    In other words, he had been hiding within Sal Bar¡¯s own shadows this whole time!

    After absorbing the Glutton Leviathan, Qin Feng¡¯s powers had gotten a lot stronger. Right now, if he wanted to hide, no one could find him.

    ¡°Sal Bar, about this reinforcement request from the Amazon Alliance... I don¡¯t know if you¡¯re working with them but you better haunt them for it after you die.¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    Sal Bar yelled out furiously, ¡°Don¡¯t think that you¡¯ve won just because you have the upper hand earlier! Don¡¯t forget that you¡¯re inside my Steel Fortress! I can kill by just lifting a finger!¡±

    Then, Sal Bar started tough. Like Qin Feng had stepped on a trap that heid for him.

    Suddenly, a huge axe dropped from above Qin Feng¡¯s head. And it was just the first axe¡ªthere were countless more axes dropping from above.

    Right now, both of them were stuck inside the Steel Fortress with no visible way out. This was indeed a death trap!

    However, Qin Feng smirked. ¡°Perhaps you should raise your head and have a look yourself?¡±

    Sal Bar was stunned after hearing what Qin Feng had to say. Suddenly, he found it really difficult to breathe. He lifted his head and saw a huge dark cloud falling toward him.

    It was not really a cloud¡ªit was actually a massive dark flower. And the ¡°cloud¡± was its petals.

    When he raised his head, the petal was already inches away from his head. There was no way for him to evade it.

    In an instant, Sal Bar¡¯s beefy body began to shrink. A few secondster, his muscles were gone and his skin started to sag away from his flesh. It was as if Sal Bar had aged rapidly by the second!

    ¡°What?! What is this?!¡±

    Sal Bar cried out in shock. Yet, the petals kept on falling on him.

    And then, Sal Bar had aged into a frail old man.

    ¡°Dark... Dark ability...!¡±

    Sal Bar finally understood what was happening. He looked at Qin Feng and his dark flower.

    This man was actually a dark ability user!

    ¡°.... you¡¯re a freak...!!!¡±

    Before Sal Bar could say anything further, he was buried in the dark petals. In a matter of seconds, he had turned into a skeleton and he crumbled.

    Meanwhile, the metal axes that fell toward Qin Feng were blocked by his internal energy barrier. As Sal Bar died, these weapons, together with the Steel Fortress, too had turned into metallic dust that was blown away by the wind!

    At the same time, the others who were watching outside were finally able to see the result of the fight.

    ¡°Ah! Qin Feng...¡± Xu Qing was surprised to see Qin Feng at first; but it did not take him long before realizing that it was all to be expected.

    The others, on the other hand, were staring at the scene with their jaws rolling on the floor. They were puzzled at how Qin Feng was able to appear inside the Steel Fortress.

    And where was Sal Bar?

    And then, they saw Qin Feng raise his hand and drop several spatial equipment on the floor. Next to the equipment was a massive skeleton that was d in abat suit.

    It was Sal Bar¡¯sbat suit!

    ¡°He did it! He killed Sal Bar!¡±

    ¡°Whoah!¡±

    ¡°Holy sh*t! How did he do it?!¡±

    ¡°A B-tier just killed an A-tier...!¡±

    They gawked at Qin Feng in disbelief. They could not believe their eyes!

    Meanwhile, one of them was about to shed tears of panic... that person... was Neil Bol!

 Chapter 719 - Let Me Give You a Hand

    <h4>Chapter 719: Let Me Give You a Hand</h4>

    The building was on the verge of crumbling as Qin Feng gathered the spatial equipment. He quickly leaped andnded on the adjacent building. Soon, the building copsed and buried Sal Bar¡¯s body with it.

    Qin Feng walked toward Niel Bol. He disyed a mocking smirk seeing the grimace on thetter¡¯s face.

    ¡°I am d to help, Master Niel Bol.¡±

    Niel Bol could hardly control his expression now. He attempted a stiff smile and said, ¡°Haha! Haha! Thank you so much, general from the Huaxia Alliance. I expressed my gratitude for your support.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. That¡¯s my duty here, to begin with. Since Sal Bar has met his end, I believe his base would not be heavily guarded now. We should ride this momentum and immediately demolish it once and for all.¡±

    Qin Feng talked through his conscious power. Everyone was intrigued by the idea.

    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡±

    ¡°Iply. With this general from Huaxia, we have no fear even if there is another A-tier opponent!¡±

    Niel Bol was almost in tears. ¡°That would not be necessary. Greenlit City is a lot safer now with Sal Bar gone. I wouldn¡¯t dare to trouble you all.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s no trouble. We are all here to provide support and should see this through,¡± Even Xu Qing began to tease him.

    ¡°But... But...¡± Niel Bol was looking for another excuse. Then, an idea came into his mind.

    He imed, ¡°But I don¡¯t know where his base is.¡±

    ¡°That would not be a problem.¡±

    Qin Feng took out his glider and flew forward hastily.

    The shadow of fleeing hovercopters belonging to Sal Bar¡¯s crew could still be seen near the horizon afar. Qin Feng glided through the air speedily and caught up to one of the choppers in no time.

    Qin Feng detached himself from the glider andnded on the front mirror of the hovercopter. He broke the mirror easily with his punch and dragged the E-tier pilot out from the cockpit.

    Then, he jumped back to his glider and returned to hispany with a new hostage in hand.

    The hovercopter without its pilot, on the other hand, plummeted and exploded when it hit the ground. The entire processsted not more than three minutes.

    The B-tier gunner peed his pants being red at by more than ten B-tiers.

    ¡°Speak now, where¡¯s your base?¡±

    ¡°Spare my life! I will talk! Our base is hidden inside a cave fifty kilometers from here.¡±

    Qin Feng perforated the gunner¡¯s head without hesitation after he had revealed the exact location of the cave.

    ¡°There, we got the coordinates now. Let¡¯s go!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s roll!¡±

    ¡°Everyone, listen to me. This is still very dangerous. What if there¡¯s an S-tier in there?¡± Niel Bol made his final attempt to stop them.

    Qin Feng maintained his smile but his words silenced Niel Bol for good. ¡°Based on the information provided by your alliance, it is imed that the Dark Organization does not have any A-tier ability users. We wouldn¡¯t be surprised if we find an S-tier there. However, judging by the uracy of your intel, I am pretty confident that we will not find any threat in the base.¡±

    As Niel Bol had lied once, nobody believed his words now.

    The B-tiers from other alliances now strongly believed that this was a conspiracy. Luckily, this conspiracy was ended prematurely thanks to Qin Feng.

    With the strongest fighter of the organization killed, the Dark Organization¡¯s base became an unguarded vault waiting to be extracted.

    Even if the base was an empty shell, they would still go since Niel Bol insisted that they did not.

    At the very least, they could kill a few more people to serve as a warning to the Amazon Alliance.

    It was unforgivable for the alliance to trick them.

    Members from the other alliances were pumped to vent their anger by killing.

    ¡°Go go go!¡±

    ¡°Destroy them!¡±

    They were stirred by Qin Feng and took out their respective hovercopters. Under Qin Feng¡¯s lead, they charged straight at Sal Bar¡¯s base spiritedly.

    At the front of the convoy, Xu Qing sat right by Qin Feng and expressed his admiration, ¡°I find it hard to believe how far you have improved in a year and a half.¡±

    When Xu Qing first met Qin Feng, thetter was still only a D-tier ability user. Of course, hisbat prowess was already through the roof among his peers at that time.

    Still, it was tremendous that he could rival an A-tier now and had even killed the opponent!

    ¡°I am lucky, I guess.¡±

    ¡°Luck? No, no, no! Luck will only carry you that far. This is definitely talent.¡±

    Qin Feng smiled back and did not say anything else. To him, it was entirely on luck that he coulde this far.

    Because without it, he would not have been reborn in the first ce.

    Everything that happened up to this point stemmed from that vital moment.

    Not longter, they had traveled about fifty km and found arge base built on a cliff. The rm inside the base sounded as they got nearer and nearer to it.

    Then, a protective shield ascended covering the entire base. It was a high-level defense.

    ¡°The base of a Dark Organization is better equipped than the main city of the Amazon Alliance!¡± Xu Qing said sarcastically.

    Qin Feng nodded and sneered. ¡°The Dark Organization would, of course, prosper when the alliance is in such a feeble state.¡±

    Qin Feng pressed a button and the cannon of his hovercopter promptly extended. It then fired aser of half-meter diameter straight at the force field.

    Blitz!

    The force field shield was indeed durable. Nheless, the shield had its upper threshold. Once the limit had been surpassed, it would inevitably crumble.

    Qin Feng¡¯s energy ster was naturally incredible. Being the chief of a technology organization, the weapon in his hand would no doubt be the best of the best. It led the current technology by at least ten years ahead.

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    Qin Feng alighted the hovercopter and shrouded the entire base.

    Instantly, Qin Feng caught the position of the three B-tiers inside the base.

    With an A-tier inmand, not many B-tiers would be required in a stronghold. The number of B-tiers, including Maul Goh, who was killed earlier, fitted the bill.

    One of the B-tiers realized that things were not looking good and quickly set up a spatial waymark.

    ¡°Trying to run? Don¡¯t even think about it!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand and a giant fireball abruptly appeared in midair. Guided by Qin Feng¡¯s conscious power, the fireball fell like a meteor carrying a long ming tail.

    Boom!

    The giant fireballnded on a decent vi and immediately turned it into a ruin. The aptitude user inside was not badly injured but the spatial waymark was disrupted by the fire runes and copsed after several nudges.

    The B-tier¡¯s face, which was covered in dust, showed that he was deeply traumatized.

 Chapter 720 - Qin Feng Would Stay

    <h4>Chapter 720: Qin Feng Would Stay</h4>

    Sal Bar was killed but his pawns had managed to escape. They returned to the headquarters frantically and spread the news throughout the stronghold.

    It was not any normal fort but actually a mining spot.

    This ce was rich in a special kind of element excellent for making runic equipment. That was the main reason why Devil¡¯s Eye had chosen this spot to establish their secret base.

    Unexpectedly, the seemingly well-hidden base was about to fall into the hands of a group of outsiders.

    This was not how things were supposed to turn out ording to what they were told. Their initial n was to kill the intruders, not the other way around!

    After Sal Bar was killed, the first thing that came to these B-tiers¡¯ minds was to pack up their things and make a run for it. However, as they tried to stuff the vast number of ores into the spatial equipment, the enemies hade knocking at the front door.

    Niel Bol would not have the gut to do this. The assaulters must be aptitude usersing from other human alliances. Possibly, the killer of Sal Bar was among them, too.

    Thus, it was not difficult to imagine how grim the B-tier looked.

    If Qin Feng knew what the B-tier was thinking, he would have agreed with his decision too. It was all but toote to regret now, though. The B-tier should have abandoned everything and escaped earlier.

    ¡°Some more!¡±

    Qin Feng smirked and raised his hand again. This time, there were five giant fireballs in the sky.

    Swish!

    The fireballs gushed through the air andnded consecutively on the B-tier. He was obviously an ancient warrior and resisted the ability with an internal shield.

    Boom!

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    The fireballs hammered his shield and trembled his internal force into turbulence. The non-stop battering forced him to bend down. The final blow inevitably shattered hisst line of defense.

    Luckily, there was not another fireball after his shield was broken. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, sparing him no room and time to react or escape.

    Asteroid Assimtion!

    Qin Feng ced his palm near the B-tier¡¯s abdomen.

    At B-tier, aptitude users normally did not fight with their physical skills. Internal strength was more destructive thus more effective, after all.

    Sensing that Qin Feng¡¯s palm had no trace of internal force, the B-tier user felt that he was lucky and was about to teach Qin Feng a lesson. Nheless, he soon realized that his body was no longer under his control.

    A great pulling force was generated from Qin Feng¡¯s palm and sucked the internal force inside the B-tier aptitude user¡¯s dantian.

    Immediately, the meridian flow of the B-tier turned haywire. He trembled uncontrobly.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion was stronger than ever. He had gathered a total of 107 pools of internal force from the time he attained B-tier internal force till now.

    After he had emptied the B-tier¡¯s dantian, he added another 3 pools into his reservoir. Of course, he still needed topress and refine the newly absorbed power into his own.

    The assimtion waspleted within three minutes. The B-tier felt lethargic and he was no better than an E-tier now.

    A slight move of Qin Feng¡¯s arm generated a powerful force that was transmitted to his hand. It repelled the fragile B-tier and sent him flying into ruins twenty meters back. His abdomen was crushed under enormous force.

    ¡°Ugh!¡± He vomited a mouthful of blood and took hisst breath a momentter.

    The repulsion force of Asteroid Assimtion was enough to kill the man with empty internal force.

    Qin Feng then raised his hand and burned the body away. He did not forget to collect the spatial equipment left in the ashes. He had killed a B-tier without much exertion. Others could not react in time to help the hapless B-tier.

    After that, the two other B-tiers in the base were surrounded too.

    Though the Human Alliance was at a numerical advantage, the B-tiers from Devil¡¯s Eye resisted hysterically out of desperation. In contrast, members from the Human Alliance fought rather cautiously and almost let the two B-tiers escape several times.

    Qin Feng quickly joined the fight and assaulted one of the B-tiers without hesitation.

    That person held nothing back when he saw Qin Feng loom near him. To overpower Qin Feng and in turn daunt the others from attacking, the B-tier unleashed his most powerful strike.

    ¡°Doom Punch!¡±

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    Their internal forces took different forms but were equally remarkable.

    The fist and the w met in mid-air.

    Boom!

    The two forces collided, which ended with the golden w snapping the fist, and hinged on the B-tier¡¯s internal force shield.

    Crack!

    The internal force shield was torn apart.

    Bam!

    Ultimately, the B-tier aptitude user was mmed by the attack with little protection. His battle suit was shredded andid bare the inner armor. That also did notst long and was smashed by Qin Feng¡¯s internal force.

    Poof!

    Blood flew out from the B-tier user¡¯s mouth.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng rode the momentum and gave the opponent no breathing room. He applied Asteroid Assimtion swiftly and dried up another B-tier¡¯s dantian.

    Simrly, this aptitude user was killed and burned by Qin Feng just like thest one. The loot was naturally taken by him too.

    The others should have made a move sooner. They were not going to be rewarded for being too careful.

    Finally, Qin Feng lunged toward thest B-tier. This time, after witnessing how efficient Qin Feng was in killing thest two, the other Human Alliance members acted more decisively. They killed the B-tier fast and split the loot.

    Qin Feng paced forward and secretly activated Asteroid Assimtion to consume the B-tier ancient warrior¡¯s internal force.

    ¡®Not bad. There are 12 pools this time.¡¯ Qin Feng was more satisfied with this.

    The current size of his dantian was unusuallyrge. He had to prepare in advance for future promotion into a higher tier.

    Qin Feng suddenly thought that the Amazon Alliance suited him well.

    There were a whole bunch of Dark Coalition members here advocating violence. Other than a few special ability users, most of them were ancient warriors. This ce would make an ideal internal force farm for Qin Feng.

    ¡°Qin Feng, there isn¡¯t any threat left around here. It¡¯s unbelievable how smooth this mission is,¡± Xu Qing said. He initially thought there would be some tough retaliation from the Devil¡¯s Eye. Unexpectedly, they wiped out the base almost instantaneously.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Regardless, at least it ended well.¡±

    ¡°Couldn¡¯t ask for more. We will retreat immediately after this. Something is fishy within this Amazon Alliance. How could such arge-scale mission involve only a few of us? We even need to deal with the mess ourselves. I can¡¯t even remember thest time I had to do this.¡±

    The mess Xu Qing referred to was the extermination of the lower-tier followers of the Dark Organization.

    There were still about ten C-tiers, seventy D-tiers, and more than five hundred E-tiers left. Some were even weaker, who probably worked as ves here.

    It would be a massacre if the B-tiers wanted to fight seriously.

    Those that had reached a certain height would no longer fancy killing the weak. After all, they belonged to the Human Alliance and not those frenzied lunatics in the Dark Coalition who kill for pleasure.

    At least, Xu Qing would not dirty his hands. As such, when the others were doing the cleaning up, Xu Qing only stood by and watched. The other B-tiers killed only some of the unlucky C and D-tiers while letting most of the rest escape.

    ¡°Let¡¯s return to Huaxia after informing the hypocritical Niel Bol,¡± Xu Qing seemed to loathe this ce.

    To Xu Qing¡¯s surprise, Qin Fengughed and answered, ¡°I have no urgent business back there. I will stay awhile more and gain some fortune here.¡±

 Chapter 721 - Continue to be a Bounty Hunter

    <h4>Chapter 721: Continue to be a Bounty Hunter</h4>

    Understandably, Xu Qing was a little baffled by Qin Feng¡¯s decision. He frowned and asked doubtfully, ¡°What¡¯s good in staying put? You might be targeted by the S-tier in the Devil¡¯s Eye after exterminating one of their strongholds.¡±

    Qin Feng said carefreely, ¡°S-tier? I don¡¯t think such a small matter would alert him or her.¡±

    Unless the S-tier was called Z.

    Qin Feng knew the S-tier behind the Devil¡¯s Eye. Though Qin Feng could not urately locate that person¡¯s whereabouts at this exact point in time, he was confident that the S-tier was probably in a specific dimension now.

    The spatial waymark of that prestigious dimension was also owned by a few S-tiers from the Human Alliance. Naturally, the Devil¡¯s Eye would need to pay close attention and guard their resource there.

    ¡°Even if the S-tier is not going toe, it¡¯s still too dangerous for you to stay here alone!¡± Xu Qing said.

    Qin Feng was an outstanding prodigy. He would definitely be given a position in Huaxia¡¯s upper echelon in the future.

    Xu Qin did not wish to see Qin Feng crumble too early due to his overconfidence and arrogance. That would be a great loss to the Huaxia Alliance.

    ¡°Great risk, great reward,¡± Qin Feng replied, ¡°The Amazon Alliance is where most bounty hunters gather at.¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me...¡± Xu Qing never thought that Qin Feng would choose this path. This was something only the mercenaries would do.

    Qin Feng nodded and continued, ¡°I¡¯m staying. It will benefit me greatly to fight more with other ability users. I am a dark ability user after all.¡±

    Xu Qing nodded in silence. He could now see why Qin Feng wanted to stay.

    He had long known about Qin Feng¡¯s identity as a dark ability user. That was why he was not entirely surprised when Qin Feng defeated Sal Bar.

    A dark ability user¡¯s strength could not be measured by themon tier used to rank other sses. That was because they possessed multiple unique abilities. One of them was the formidable Absorption Ability.

    Such an ability only existed in the legends. Only a few high-rank officers knew about it, and they confirmed it through the Glutton Leviathan. They suspected the skill had now been transferred to Qin Feng.

    However, it was extremely umon for a human to have such an ability.

    This skill was perhaps as rare as another S-tier ability, the Finger of Death.

    But what Xu Qing did not know was that Qin Feng¡¯s absorption was born with him and not taken from the Glutton.

    Qin Feng¡¯s absorption was even more powerful. He could consume basically everything from his target unlike any other dark ability user, who could only digest 1% of energy after acquiring the skill through training.

    Nheless, that measly 1% was enough to drive people into the dark path.

    That was why arge proportion of dark ability users had fallen to the dark side. They could kill without constraint there and absorb from others as much as they like.

    For Qin Feng, he did not need to focus solely on his dark ability because of another identity¡ªan ancient warrior. Besides, he could easily gain power by hunting down beasts with his ancient warrior skill.

    Yet, Qin Feng aimed to hunt ancient warriors this time.

    After they wiped out the stronghold, other B-tiers burned the whole area down to remove any evidence. This was to prevent the enemy S-tier from finding anything that would lead back to them.

    Then, they did not return to Greenlit City but left immediately after leaving a message.

    Qin Feng had left a private message to Niel Bol too. Themunicator tranted the message automatically.

    ¡°Master Neil Bol, is there anything else that I can help you with? I will always be pleased to lend you a hand. It so happens that I am rather free recently!¡±

    After Neil Bol replied to the others, he trembled reflexively when he saw Qin Feng¡¯s message. Qin Feng was the one who had killed Sal Bar. If the guy knew he had anything to do with Sal Bar under the table, Neil Bol could not even begin to think about what might happen to himself.

    Thus, Neil Bol immediately replied, ¡°Thank you so much, General Qin Feng. But I don¡¯t think we will need your help anymore. I assure you Greenlit is secure now after the Dark Organization was exterminated. Themoners can carry on with life without fear now.¡±

    ¡°Great. See you when I see you.¡±

    ¡°Sure! Sure!¡± But Neil Bol screamed inside, ¡®Hell no. I wish we will never cross paths again the rest of my life!¡¯

    Qin Feng could guess what was in Neil Bol¡¯s mind now but he could not care less.

    After seeing Xu Qing off, Qin Feng unlocked hismunicator and connected to the battle. He then clicked on the homepage of the bounty hunterwork.

    Qin Feng had attained the D-rank gold medal after killing a D-tier on the wanted list from before.

    The rank actually did not matter much. A kid could have brought in an S-tier head through trickery and be promoted to S-rank bounty hunter.

    The rank did not always represent one¡¯s true strength, but there was a positive corrtion most of the time.

    Beep.

    Qin Feng refreshed the page. ording to his current location, the information of a few thousand wanted criminals near Greenlit City jumped into his sight.

    Qin Feng filtered the criminals to B-tier or above.

    The man with the highest bounty, Maul Goh. One of the Devil¡¯s Eye¡¯s cadres in Greenlit City. He was found guilty for the following...

    Cumtively, Maul Goh was listed 3549 times. The total bounty was 182 billion.

    No one would simply challenge a B-tier for the money. There was too much risk in it.

    Still, that did not stop people from posting a bounty on thework. Once registered, the whereabouts of a wanted criminal, such as Maul Goh, would be established in the database and be essible at all times.

    A brave soul would eventually make a move. This was because the bounty was not the only money in y here. The target¡¯s properties would belong to the hunter, too, which was probably twenty to thirty times the bounty reward.

    Well, the top of the list, Maul Goh, had already died in Qin Feng¡¯s hands. His body was melted away by Qin Feng¡¯sva.

    Qin Feng had no interest in iming the bounty anyway. He scrolled through the list quickly and skipped another three B-tiers that he knew were dead. He finally sets his eye on a desirable target.

    No.7, Barten, President of the Bloodthirst Corporation. His criminal records are...

    Current location: Death Swamp

    Potential enemies: 2 B-tiers, 13 C-tiers, numerous D-tiers...

    ¡®A president of a Dark Organization? This will do!¡¯

    Qin Feng epted the mission and flew straight toward Death Swamp in his aircraft. The ce was located about forty km from Greenlit City. It was nearer than the Devil¡¯s Eye camp, only in a different direction.

    Qin Feng reached the swamp in less than half an hour when it waste into the night.

    He saw a small settlement around the swamp. The members of the Dark Organization were indulged in the nightlife.

    A horrifying grin appeared on Qin Feng¡¯s face.

    He moved dexterously camouged by the night. His consciousness had already locked onto a B-tier aptitude user.

    Inside a bar-like building, the B-tier ancient warrior was feeding food to his beautifulpanion. All of a sudden, the ce was covered inplete darkness.

    ¡°Sh*t! What¡¯s the matter? Why is the electricity out?¡± The B-tier ancient warriorined exasperatedly.

 Chapter 722 - That Qin Feng Killed Someone

    <h4>Chapter 722: That Qin Feng Killed Someone</h4>

    To Barten, it was a sign of disrespect when there was a disruption while he was having fun.

    He did not care whether it happened by chance or not.

    But soon, Barten knew that something was off. The word that came out of his mouth was muted. He could not hear his own voice.

    Barten rounded his eyes and realized all his senses¡ªsight, hearing, smell, and touch¡ªhad been taken away.

    Perhaps his sense of taste was lost too.

    ¡®Dark ability!¡¯ Barten immediately identified the cause of his condition and reacted swiftly.

    He was a B-tier, after all. Though he did not know who was so daring toy a finger on him, he could not care less.

    Barten tried to withdraw his internal power. This was when a hand tapped on his shoulder.

    ¡°You are right. It¡¯s a dark ability!¡± A voice rang abruptly in Barten¡¯s head. It clearly belonged to the owner of the hand.

    ¡°Who are you?¡± Barten replied but he did not stop mobilizing the internal force in his body.

    However, before he could muster a move, the opponent beat him to it first.

    ¡°You don¡¯t need to know me.¡± The opponentughed and an irresistible pulling force stemmed from the hand.

    Barten, who was directing his internal power, suddenly found that the qi in his body was going in reverse inside the meridian due to the pulling force. That messed up his energy flow and Bartenpletely lost control over his body.

    ¡°Argh! Argh!¡±

    Barten¡¯s eyes were getting bigger. He did not have any internal force to dispel the darkness shrouding his opponent. The only thing that remained seemed to be a hollow resonance that came straight from hell.

    Asteroid Assimtion!

    Qin Feng could match an A-tier now with his current power. The internal power of a B-tier could no longer resist Qin Feng.

    Barten might run amok in the Amazon Alliance but he was just a weakling to Qin Feng.

    After Qin Feng had taken in all his internal force, he grabbed his neck and twisted it with zero resistance.

    Crack!

    Barten¡¯s neck was snapped and he died resentfully.

    Qin Feng finally removed the dark fog. The two beauties were startled to see a man suddenly appear inside the room, especially when the stranger¡¯s hand was on Barten¡¯s neck.

    They immediately understood what had happened when they saw the gruesome look on Barten¡¯s face.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    ¡°Manughter!¡±

    The two girls shouted at the same time.

    Qin Feng ignored their shrieking and scanned Barten to look for spatial equipment. He soon found and retrieved them.

    Someone else inside the bar had run over to the room. They opened up the door and Barten¡¯s corpse was the first thing that came into their sight.

    Instantly, they felt a chill down their spine.

    Those who came rushing were all C-tiers. They had always relied on Barten. None of them dared to step up after their boss was dead.

    Their legs began to tremble uncontrobly as they backed off carefully. They kept their eyes on Qin Feng, worrying that the assassin might jump on them at any moment.

    Qin Feng did not have such intentions, at all, though.

    The few users turned around after distancing themselves and ran away frantically. It was like a beast was hounding them from behind.

    Qin Feng walked into the main hall of the bar steadily. Because the first few who encountered Qin Feng had run out shouting in fear, the others followed them out of the bar in panic despite not knowing what had happened.

    Qin Feng worked on hismunicator and connected to the bounty hunterwork of the Amazon Alliance.

    ¡°Barten has been killed. Someone maye over to check on his body. Remember to transfer the bounty reward into my ount.¡±

    As he reached the entrance of the bar, he was stopped by three B-tier aptitude users.

    They were the high-rank officers who belonged to the Dark Organization of the Death Swamp.

    The three users were baffled when they saw the badge on Qin Feng¡¯s chest. One of them talked to him through conscious power.

    ¡°My friend from Huaxia, why did youe all the way here to kill Barten?¡±

    ¡°For the bounty, of course.¡±

    The three B-tiers¡¯ faces changed immediately.

    They looked at Qin Feng with clear intention to kill.

    Killing for bounty meant that Barten had no grudge or whatsoever with this person in front of them. It was not worth it to fight an infamous B-tier for that little bounty money.

    There was only one possibility. This person was aiming for the spatial equipment from the start.

    ¡°Leave Barten¡¯s belongings and we will spare your life. Otherwise, don¡¯t you even think about leaving tonight.¡± One of the aptitude users red at Qin Feng. He was waiting for Qin Feng to refuse so that he could strike him down instantly.

    However, Qin Feng was tired of the mor. He was more of an action person.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion¡ªPush!¡±

    Within a few breaths, all the ancient warriors were killed on the spot.

    Qin Feng¡¯s lightning-quick strike shocked the subordinates hiding in the dark. They thought that their superiors would have no problem taking down a single enemy.

    After seeing such a terrifying scene, they lost all will to retaliate and fled decisively.

    Qin Feng walked to the corpses and imed their spatial equipment too. He took their pictures and uploaded them to thework as well.

    ¡°Another two troublemakers were killed. Don¡¯t forget to include the reward for these two as well. If they are not on the wanted list, I believe you guys will find a way. Don¡¯t try to skimp on it, or I would...¡±

    Qin Feng did not specify what he would do, but that would suffice. He then wandered into the Death Swamp.

    The Death Swamp was energy-dense and served as a suitable location to grow certain herbs. This was the reason Barten had chosen to have his headquarters set up here.

    Qin Feng had little use of the herbs. It would be a waste of time to collect them one by one. He had severalrge-scale botanical centers nurturing high-grade herbs established inside Fengli.

    But they did still have some uses for him. He would not waste them.

    He stood in the middle of the grasnd and released his consciousness, as well as the dark runes.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    The ability worked like a giant maw and sucked in the energy in the surroundings. As the energy gushed into Qin Feng¡¯s body, the low-grade herbs were the first to wilt, followed by the high-grade herbs.

    Qin Feng manipted and converted the energy into his internal force, which was then fused into his dantian.

    ¡°Burp!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s aura and internal strength were boosted tremendously after absorbing the natural energy for ten full minutes.

    He finally left after his appetite had been satiated.

    Not long after he was gone, C-tiers that had run earlier returned to the farm. They initially thought that a high-tier like Qin Feng would not pay attention to the herbs so they had turned back to collect the herbs.

    However, the scene inside the ntation stunned them.

    ¡°It¡¯s... all gone?¡±

    ¡°Who is this guy? He left nothing behind! Such a heartless scum!¡±

    ¡°All, these, herbs! My heart hurts!¡±

 Chapter 723 - Choking Out Niel Bol

    <h4>Chapter 723: Choking Out Niel Bol</h4>

    Qin Feng returned to Greenlit City and rested in a mostly still intact hotel. The person who came to open up for the day was initially furious, but after seeing Qin Feng they were very flustered. They did not expect a B-tier toe back and stay here.

    Moreover, this B-tier was obviously not from the Amazon Alliance.

    Meanwhile, the people on the Bounty Hunter Network in Greenlit City were kicked up into a frenzy.

    When they were stationed here, it was easy-going. A lot of tasks were impossible toplete but when one of said tasks waspleted all of a sudden, it frightened the whole lot of them.

    The video made its rounds and was inspected by three at a time. In fact, it had been looked at over ten times!

    ¡°Is this video real or fake?¡±

    ¡°I think it¡¯s actually real?¡±

    ¡°Boss, news has arrived. Barten was indeed killed along with three other B-tiers!¡±

    ¡°Gulp!¡±

    The head of this branch of Bounty Hunters found it hard to swallow.

    His power was only C-tier, but nobody in Greenlit City dared to touch the Bounty Hunter Network and at the same time, the bounty hunters were not bothered by anyone else.

    ¡°What should we do? Collect the body?¡±

    ¡°How? It¡¯s in the Death Swamp!¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t they say even B-tiers got killed?¡±

    ¡°What about C-tiers? You can¡¯t even count the C-tiers that were lost to that swamp with your fingers!¡±

    These people obviously were not willing to go.

    ording to the rules here, even if there was a video they needed to confirm that there was a body before they could issue the reward to Qin Feng, and at the same time use the ounts of those wanted criminals.

    That point was due to the fact that the Bounty Hunter Network was also afraid of retaliation. If only the ounts of wanted criminals could be easily closed and the money retrieved, where would retaliatione from after that?

    When Qin Feng was marked as a wanted fugitive he was within the Human Alliance. He was used of being a traitor and his ount was frozen. No one would dare to or could embezzle money from his ount.

    As such, these bounty hunters found themselves in aplicated situation.

    ¡°Move that ount, the news means that it definitely isn¡¯t a fake!¡±

    The others were relieved when they heard the news, obviously they were not willing to go to the Death Swamp.

    Soon, on the Bounty Hunter Network, the Greenlit City branch announced that Barten had been in along with several other B-tier aptitude users. Qin Feng¡¯s identity was revealed as well and due to this bounty, his name as a bounty hunter was also rapidly rising.

    Meanwhile, where the vis were in Greenlit City, Niel Bol had not slept until this point, afraid of amunicator calling him and asking what was going on in regards to Salbar¡¯s death!

    [Beep!]

    When hismunicator rang, Niel Bol instantly jumped up from the sofa but after looking at the number on themunicator he let out a sigh of relief.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why are you calling me at this hour?¡± Niel Bol sounded a little impatient.

    ¡°Boss, not good, the Death Swamp, the Death Swamp has been taken!¡±

    Niel Bol¡¯s eyes widened, almost as if they were going to pop out of their sockets.

    ¡°Who did this?¡± Just before one problem was over, another problem had appeared.

    The one who called Niel Bol obviously knew who Qin Feng was.

    ¡°Boss, it¡¯s that General Qin from the Huaxia Alliance!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡± Niel Bol almost coughed up blood from that announcement.

    Him again? Why had he not left?

    Qin Feng had almost driven Niel Bol insane.

    He hung up the call and after thinking about it for a moment he decided to call Qin Feng and dialed hismunicator!

    At that moment, Qin Feng was in his hotel room absorbing the energy that he had absorbed that day.

    The energy from the Death Swamp naturally did not need to be filtered out but the internal force absorbed by Asteroid Assimtion needed to be refined again.

    In one day¡¯s time, Qin Feng had in eight B-tier ancient warriors and one A-tier ability user, naturally the harvest was quite plentiful.

    However, when measured with Qin Feng¡¯s internal force, the internal force of the B-tier ancient warriors was only about 10 pools of force.

    Combined with the absorption of the spirit herbs from the Death Swamp, Qin Feng¡¯s internal force went from 107 pools of force into 130 pools. He was still far from his current capacity of 999 pools of force!

    ¡°When the Dantian can store up to so much, that¡¯s also a problem!¡± Qin Feng opened his eyes, feeling that it could not be helped.

    However, this helplessness he felt was the envy of everyone else and he knew that he would rather have this helplessness and would not give up this quest of umtion in pursuit of ranking up.

    [Beep!]

    Hismunicator rang and Niel Bol¡¯s number appeared on his screen.

    ¡°Heh, they only just received the news, what¡¯s the point of contacting me?¡± Qin Feng sneered and turned on hismunicator.

    Niel Bol appeared on the screen with a smile on his face, but the smile was forced. Seeing Qin Feng, he still pretended to be happy and said, ¡°General Qin, I¡¯ve just heard about your feat!¡±

    Qin Feng put on a humble expression and exined, ¡°In Huaxia, we call this ¡®getting rid of evil for the people¡¯. I know that Master Niel Bol would be very grateful for everything I¡¯ve done for Greenlit City. Of course, this was only something I saw as convenient, Master Niel Bol you don¡¯t need to be so moved!¡±

    The corner of Niel Bol¡¯s mouth twitched twice, moved? What did he mean, moved?

    But he would not dare make such a rebuttal and he could only nod his head.

    ¡°General Qin, I apologize for theck of good hospitality here. I hope you don¡¯t mind!¡±

    It was best if he did mind, if he minded it that meant he would not be staying very long!

    ¡°I don¡¯t mind, those like us who have great power would naturally want to make some contributions. It¡¯s only a bit of hard work after all. Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely work harder. Later I will be rooting out the Dark Coalition hidden within Greenlit City and make this ce more peaceful!¡±

    ¡°Wait...¡±

    ¡°Master Niel Bol, you don¡¯t need to thank me!¡±

    ¡°No...¡±

    ¡°Yes, I know what you¡¯re trying to say, Master Niel Bol. Needless to say, I understand!¡±

    ¡°I...¡±

    ¡°Master Niel Bol, you must be surprised. If you¡¯re so moved by this then maybe you can contact the Human Alliance about the degree of sess of my mission. Put in some good words for me!¡±

    Qin Feng gave a small smile, his mouth moved so quickly that Niel Bol was unable to say anything!

    More importantly, what Qin Feng said were all righteous and awe-inspiring words. Niel Bol was trying to prevent Qin Feng from killing the people from the Dark Coalition and now needed to find an excuse. The reaction would naturally be slower, and being one step behind he could not keep up with the other¡¯s rhythm!

    ¡°Alright, it¡¯s getting prettyte Master Niel Bol. I¡¯ve been fighting for the whole day and I need to rest. If you have anything you want to talk about, we can do that tomorrow!¡±

    ¡°Ah-¡±

    Before Niel Bol could respond, Qin Feng had already said good night and hung up on him!

    After that, Niel Bol felt that his words were stuck in his throat, unable to gulp them down or spit them out. That almost did to him serious damage!

    Meanwhile in the hotel, Qin Feng was in a good mood.

    ¡°So you want to lure me into a trap? Then, I¡¯ll make you walk around in circles!¡±

    For the other alliances, perhaps killing the Dark Coalition members was a good thing.

    However, for the Amazon Alliance that was obviously the opposite and Qin Feng, this predator, would take away their resources which would just be making things worse!

    Qin Feng was not someone to provoke!

 Chapter 724 - Extermination of Firework Mountain

    <h4>Chapter 724: Extermination of Firework Mountain</h4>

    In fact, there was a reason behind why Qin Feng was making a fuss about Niel Bol.

    He never expected the Amazon Alliance to try and entrap them. He was not sure if something like this had ever happened before his rebirth, but it probably did not.

    Otherwise, how could Xu Qing have escaped?

    Maybe he paid a huge amount of money for ransom or something.

    Qin Feng felt that he was the cause of this butterfly effect which led to this current situation.

    Since he hunted down and killed the Glutton Leviathan, the events at the mountain changed and the losses in the Human Alliance were worse than what happened before his rebirth.

    As such, this allowed the Amazon Alliance to harbor greed.

    Good thing Qin Feng tagged along this time otherwise the results might have been unthinkable.

    General Xu Qing was someone he admired very much and before his rebirth he considered the man as his savior. Although the man had been assigned a task, he still managed to save a lot of people and could not be stopped. This was a person worthy of admiration.

    If Qin Feng did note along, maybe Xu Qing would meet his end here!

    ¡°Since things have already been affected, then I should set an example and let these people know that members of the Huaxia Alliance shouldn¡¯t be messed with!¡±

    When a person¡¯s strength had reached a certain level, they would also gain a massive amount of authority.

    Due to the existence of S-tiers basically coercing different forces, the multiple factions within the Human Alliance was formed.

    However, it was impossible for just the S-tiers to run the whole show. With so many aptitude users acting as soldiers and heroes, it was a daunting task.

    Qin Feng was willing to turn himself into a weapon, and wherever this weapon pointed at he would send chills down his enemies¡¯ spines and strike fear into their hearts!

    He put away his thoughts and got ready to rest. Naturally, the next day was going to be the day of a massive battle!

    ***

    The next day, as soon as Qin Feng stepped out of the hotel he could feel eyes locking onto him.

    These eyes immediately flickered away, as if afraid that they would be discovered by Qin Feng. However, with how strong Qin Feng was, how could he not see the other¡¯s movements.

    Despite that, Qin Feng ignored it and unabashedly walked out, took out his aircraft and stepped into it.

    Secretly, a number of people began to send messages among themselves.

    ¡°The person hase out and is heading west!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s heading to Firework Mountain?¡±

    ¡°Hurry, tell the others to go there!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a field of spiritual energy there. Not sure what happened with the Death Swamp yesterday, but I heard it suddenly dried up. The news has already spread and I¡¯m afraid these people aren¡¯t going to give up!¡±

    ¡°Damn it, it¡¯s all money, who would give up?¡±

    These people were actually members of the Dark Coalition in Greenlit City that Niel Bol had contacted.

    While birds would die in pursuit of food, man would die in pursuit of wealth. How could these people give up on the wealth they had?

    Qin Feng hoped that would be so!

    After looking at the news on the Bounty Hunter Network, he had already nned to go therest night.

    In less than half an hour, he was already descending on Firework Mountain in the west.

    Just when his aircraft was about tond, it was attacked!

    ¡°Gravity Field!¡±

    ¡°Tornado!¡±

    ¡°Precious Lock!¡±

    Several ability users jumped out of the dark and began to manipte Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft, causing it to slow down drastically

    This sudden attack caused Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft to get locked in ce and the ambushers were overjoyed when they saw this.

    ¡°Attack! Attack!¡±

    In an instant, a series of artillery fire burst out and lit up that side of Firework Mountain with brilliant sparks.

    If it were not because of this mountain being an active volcano, thus being named Firework Mountain, Qin Feng would have guessed that this ce was named that because of the amount of artillery.

    Although there was a lot of artillery being fired at him, they had bad quality. The technology of the Amazon Alliance was extremely backward, their attacks were nothing to him!

    Still, he did not want the artillery to even touch his aircraft¡¯s protectiveyer.

    ¡°Reverse!¡±

    Qin Feng barked out the word and a storm of consciousness erupted from him.

    A powerful wave of consciousness instantly spread out, and those who were ability users felt as if a cold wind was blown over them!

    When the consciousness hit the artillery it was even better. The consciousness that originally manipted these weapons were pushed aside or even obliterated. In an instant, all of the shells went wild and flew upward.

    In the direction of Firework Mountain, the gunners who had just fired these attacks turned pale and broke out into cold sweat.

    Not only that, their eyes widened so much that they were about to pop out of their heads!

    They saw the artillery soar up into the sky as they changed directions, going from the base of the mountain to the peak.

    The artillery was getting closer and closer to the gunners!

    ¡°Oh!¡±

    ¡°Flee!¡±

    ¡°Run away! Run away!¡±

    The gunners shouted frantically.

    Whreeee...

    The shriek of the artillery indicated that they were getting closer and closer before they finally impacted against the mountain¡¯s peak.

    Boom, boom, boom, boom....

    The terrible sting sound seemed to go on for an eternity.

    As rocks were sted apart and their base was instantly destroyed, the ensuingndside came crashing down on where the gunners were. When they screamed for escape, none of them ended up making it as they were all buried under the rubble.

    If they were strong people, they would be able to survive. However, to make matters worse, Firework Mountain began to shake.

    Boom!

    The earth roared, magma spewed out from cracks in the earth as it flowed down in a terrible torrent.

    Obviously this kind of artillery would have triggered Firework Mountain to unleash its ¡®firework disy¡¯.

    At this moment, the three ability users that attacked Qin Feng were all fuming with rage.

    Those who died were their subordinates. The ce that got buried was where their base camp was. Now that it got ruined by Qin Feng¡¯s meddling, how would that be redeemed?

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    The three ability users shouted in unison.

    However, at this moment the aircraft suddenly shifted and turned into a racecar. Not only that, it put up an energy shield. The energy shield instantly defended against the iing attacks these three unleashed.

    Qin Feng floored the machine, immediately elerating and instantly sped toward the metal ability user.

    His Verdant Emperor Saber was already in his hand and he stretched it out of the window. Even if the ability user avoided his charge, they would not be able to escape his de!

    Pfft!

    As the craft passed by, one of them dropped!

    The ability user was bisected by the attack.

    The craft seemed to form a trail in the air as it moved.

    Pfft! Pfft!

    The other two remaining ability users died violently as well!

    B-tier, in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, meant that nothing was a match against him!

    ***

    Half an hourter, people from other organizations rushed toward Firework Mountain. At this time, there were still traces of damage that could be seen and volcanic ash covered the ground. However, nobody could feel a trace of heat, only the faint whispers of lingering fire runes.

    The energy here was so thin that it was almost imperceivable.

    Despite that, everyone knew that this ce was once originally beautiful and full of energy.

    ¡°Firework Mountain has been ruined!¡±

 Chapter 725 - The Last Stop

    <h4>Chapter 725: The Last Stop</h4>

    Qin Feng massacred the people in Firework Mountain. Him deflecting the artillery fired at him caused the Dark Coalition¡¯s people, approximately four to five hundred aptitude users, to get killed.

    In addition to the three B-tier ability users that tried to ambush him, there were twenty more C-tier aptitude users as well. He didn¡¯t let any one of them go and ughtered them as well.

    After that he used his absorption ability to consume the spiritual energy that flowed around the area as well as the massive amount of natural rune energy that lingered inside the volcano andpletely cleaned it out.

    It could be said that his absorption ability had turned the entire ce deste.

    Qin Feng did not feel bad about it, neither did he bother searching for the countless amounts of spatial rune equipment that was probably buried under the tons of rock he dropped on them and carried on.

    Two hourster, he arrived in another city belonging to the Amazon Alliance.

    An hourter, a B-tier Dark Coalition member was found and pulled out of the shadows. Following that was the death of two more B-tiers and eight C-tiers. Even D-tiers and E-tiers were not spared. The ensuing battle resulted in the tragic deaths of dozens of people.

    Another hour and a halfter, an A-tier Dark Coalition member was put down by Qin Feng. The sh was instantaneous, ending in the A-tier copsing to the ground.

    At two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Qin Feng found another member....

    Four o¡¯ clock in the afternoon...

    Six o¡¯ clock in the afternoon...

    Qin Feng ended up zing through seven of the Dark Coalition¡¯s bases in one day and the more he killed the more vicious he fought. Not only that, people noticed that Qin Feng¡¯s strength had increased!

    At this time, when night fell, Qin Feng set up a tent in the wild. It was summertime and the weather was not too chilly. Qin Feng had lit a campfire and was enjoying the meat of an ultra beast that he hunted down!

    ¡°Today¡¯s spoils ain¡¯t so bad!¡± Qin Feng was in a good mood as he roasted the meat in front of him.

    Those people were right. At this time, Qin Feng¡¯s power had significantly improved and he had reached B2-tier.

    Qin Feng did not just kill people, he took away resources just as easily. Most of them were absorbed by him and if that was the case, his strength would naturally soar higher.

    His physical prowess and his consciousness had both reached B2-tier!

    After his food was done, Qin Feng scarfed it down until his mouth was coated with oil. After that, he sat down crossed-legged and began to activate Asteroid Assimtion.

    In one day¡¯s time, the B-tier ancient warriors he killed,bined with the C-tier ancient warriors, were a number that could hardly be estimated.

    All of these needed to be dealt with to enable Qin Feng to be able to use the pent up energy.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    The converted internal force,bined with the energy he absorbed earlier that added another 20 pools of force.

    150 pools of force, that number was the equivalent to 1.5 times of what an A9-tier ancient warrior had!

    That was the reason why he unscrupulously fought the A-tiers he encountered.

    Not only that, throughout all of this, Qin Feng was caught up in the high of the ughter.

    ¡°This time, I can go all out!¡± Qin Feng grinned maliciously. He knew that the more he killed the more annoyed the Dark Coalition would be. Among the seven bases he rampaged through today, he saw a lot of depraved things!

    Female ve auctions, human experimentation, cannibalism and more!

    It made Qin Feng recall some very bad things before his rebirth.

    Perhaps this was the despair that wasmonly experienced by the people of this age, but Qin Feng did not wish to feel that despair again!

    The strong had their own way of living.

    The weak had their own way of survival.

    Once someone became strong, there was no way they would want to go back to being weak. It was an unimaginable concept.

    Qin Feng¡¯s cheerful mood eventually darkened into a chill before it shifted into murderous intent.

    He put out the me and crawled into the tent.

    He wanted a break, but this hunt was just beginning!

    The third day...

    The fourth day...

    The fifth day...

    Qin Feng changed locations every day, his whereabouts erratic, but the Dark Coalition had resources that it had to protect and as such he targeted those areas and ughtered everyone the moment he went there!

    Qin Feng¡¯s name became more and more infamous.

    The Amazon Alliance¡¯s territory was roughly about the same size as two states in the Huaxia Alliance. Their cities were dense and their poptions wererge, but it could not withstand such a ughter!

    That being said, Qin Feng had killed more than one hundred B-tier aptitude users which wasparable to the number of aptitude users lost to the Divine Mountain!

    That was something that no alliance could take lightly, not to mention the Amazon Alliance was a very small alliance!

    These five days had seemed to touch several people¡¯s bottom line!

    At this time, Qin Feng¡¯s rampage had taken him to one of the Amazon Alliance¡¯srgest cities.

    That city was ironically a city built by the Dark Coalition and it was known as the Wailing City.

    Qin Feng picked up a bounty which had a consistently high price with a full reward of that which tallied up to 139.01 billion and that bounty belonged to the governor of the Wailing City.

    An A7-tier ancient warrior, the Goddess of Evil, Kalinsha!

    Those who bore the title of godhood were naturally S-tier aptitude users and rumor had it that Kalinsha had rtions to several S-tiers. Whether that was true or not was up in the air, but someone who was a governor of one of thergest cities in the alliance meant that they were naturally a powerful opponent.

    Of course, her strength was on par with the horrible deeds that she had done!

    She had killed more than three thousand women!

    In the Great Rift Age, this was considered as a terrifying number!

    Women were necessary for breeding but in Kalinsha¡¯s eyes they were just toys for ughter and pleasure.

    What was even stranger was the woman¡¯s beauty. She had wless skin, a great figure, silky long hair and then some!

    Sometimes she just killed people for no other reason but the fact that she felt like it.

    The most horrible event revolving around her was her birthday when people from the Coalition sent her at least a hundred women and she ended up stringing those women up and personally cut them to bleed them out until they expired.

    Their blood drenched the Wailing City¡¯s governor¡¯s backyard garden, causing a dense growth of man-eating flowers there and exuding a powerful aura of spiritual energy. It also carried with it the lingering stench of blood and rotting corpses.

    This truly was a wretched city.

    As Qin Feng got closer, so did the rotting smell get stronger.

    ¡°This is even worse than Helltown! Disgusting!¡± Qin Fengined but continued to trudge toward the city.

    He herald darkness as he arrived.

    Now that Qin Feng had developed an infamous reputation in the Amazon Alliance, he detected a dangerous aura.

    It could be that many people were waiting to kill him!

    The Wailing City was Qin Feng¡¯sst stop. He was 100 percent sure that whatever was about to greet him was going to be a very great weing wagon.

    ¡°But, would that mean the more I go, the more interesting this gets? I want to know just who among these people, just who can stop me!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a sinister chuckle as the darkness that he shrouded himself with intensified. In the cover of the night, nobody expected that an uninvited guest had let himself in!

    What came next would be a cold and bloody wind blowing!

 Chapter 726 - Spatial Lockdown

    <h4>Chapter 726: Spatial Lockdown</h4>

    In the dark, the governor¡¯s mansion turned out to be very lively. From what it seemed, it was obvious that a party was going on.

    The governor stood amongst the crowd, her head held high like an arrogant ck swan, but at the same time it felt like one was looking at a ck widow.

    Her age was indiscernible, it had been twenty to thirty years since she became infamous. On the surface, the entirety of the Amazon Alliance was ruled by her!

    Of course, there were some S-tiers but they did not care about the superficial power struggles of the coalition.

    Qin Feng kept himself hidden, his consciousness swept around and discovered that there were three A-tier aptitude users in the governor¡¯s mansion and there were more than thirty B-tiers!

    These people were showering Kalinsha withpliments during this time.

    ¡°Thank the governor for her warm hospitality, if she had not taken me in I¡¯d be homeless!¡±

    ¡°Hahah, you sound pathetic, but that person from Huaxia is overwhelming us!¡±

    ¡°There has to be a way to get rid of him!¡±

    ¡°How? Let the officials do it? We¡¯d be aughstock with our ipetence!¡±

    These people were obviously worried about Qin Feng.

    Kalinsha held up her wine ss and bore a charming smile. ¡°Everyone, fret not, while he might be able to take on A-tiers, he¡¯s also expending a lot of energy!¡±

    ¡°I heard that in his fight against Salbar, he used the World Ame move. While his strength isn¡¯t so clear it must have used up a lot of his energy!¡±

    ¡°This time, we¡¯ve invited General Mercer and Lord Ralf over, he would not dare toe over!¡±

    Kalinsha¡¯s gaze fell charmingly on the two people beside her.

    General Mercer was a burly man that had a sloppily wornbat uniform, unbuttoned to expose his chest and his lush chest hair.

    On the contrary, Ralf seemed like a well-kept gentleman who had neat brown hair and a handsome face.

    When the others saw the two, they naturally offered theirpliments and were very confident in those two.

    Meanwhile, the hidden Qin Feng looked at the people around and regarded everyone in the room coldly.

    Three A-tiers would indeed be difficult to deal with.

    General Mercer was an A3-tier ancient warrior while Ralf was an A4-tier wood ability user. Both were very strong opponents.

    However, Qin Feng only needed to kill Kalinsha!

    Qin Feng was not in a hurry, and so he remained hidden in the dark.

    Time trickled by as the party went on for two to three hours. Kalinsha felt bored, her eyes began to drift as she seemed to be unable to bear it. She approached Ralf and whispered something into his ear.

    Ralf smirked and the two walked upstairs side by side.

    Downstairs, General Mercer¡¯s face had an unsatisfied look before he brutishly grabbed a maid and yanked her into his arms.

    ¡°Kalinsha, that b*tch. Actually liking those pretty boy toys. Do you women prefer pretty boys?¡±

    The maid was only an E-tier aptitude user. The reason she came to this party was so that she could meet a strong person. She did not expect someone like General Mercer to choose her. Though his actions toward her were kind of painful, the maid still put on a charming smile.

    ¡°No, General. I prefer the wilder ones!¡±

    ¡°Haha, you¡¯re not so bad!¡±

    Mercer did not leave then and proceeded to unbutton his pants in full view of everyone, looking very pleased with himself.

    Qin Feng sneered, he was toozy to deal with this assault on the eyes. He slunk away, his steps quiet as he merged into the darkness and slithered through the shadows.

    He scuttled upstairs, following behind Ralf and Kalinsha.

    The two quickly entered thest room of a corridor and disappeared. While the door was closed, their consciousness was still detectable.

    Qin Feng was worried about jumping the gun, and naturally decided to do some scouting first.

    While A-tiers were a bit tricky, this situation was much better than the one they were in previously.

    The moment these two got intimate, when their clothing were shed and were without the protection of their inner armor it was then that Qin Feng would guarantee that his Verdant Emperor Saber could pierce through both of them at once!

    He waited for twenty minutes before he took out the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    As soon as his de appeared, its intense temperature burned through the wooden door in front of him and the carpet on the floor began to burn.

    With a gentle flick of his hand, the door opened!

    However, a dazzling white light burst out of the room and flooded Qin Feng¡¯s vision.

    ¡°Hng!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a grunt, his eyes felt a stinging pain as he could not control himself from tearing up. This made him unable to see what was happening in front of him.

    However, consciousness would not lie.

    When he swept the room with his consciousness. Kalinsha and Ralf who he thought were about to get intimate were not making the bed rock at all. Instead they were neatly dressed and had on a full set of rune equipment,pletely different from the formal wear that they were wearing.

    Kalinsha resembled a female warrior when decked out in fullbat armor!

    Qin Feng chuckled as his consciousness was released.

    ¡°Looks like you were waiting for me!¡±

    This was the first time Kalinsha had seen the murderous demon that was Qin Feng she heard so much about from the rumors. His reputation had already spread around the entire Amazon Alliance.

    She did not expect him to be so young.

    ¡°What a shame, you are still very handsome but after today you¡¯re going to be a corpse!¡± Kalinsha said with a twinge of emotion.

    Ralf grunted in dissatisfaction, ¡°Kalinsha, you have me, he¡¯s just a pretty boy toy, what good is he?¡±

    Qin Feng was amused by the other man¡¯s words. Ralf had the audacity to call someone else a ¡®pretty boy¡¯ when that was the exact same thing Mercer had called him!

    ¡°Alright, cut the chatter. We¡¯ll soon know who¡¯s going to be a corpse after this fight!¡±

    The three¡¯s consciousness moved quickly. This exchange passed in only a matter of seconds before Qin Feng began to move.

    If he dragged it on, Qin Feng might be able to restore his eyes that seemed to be damaged by some light ability but Mercer mighte upstairs.

    He had to kill Kalinsha first!

    With that in mind, he rushed forward.

    Suddenly at that moment, familiar fluctuations appeared in all directions.

    Qin Feng could not see it but he knew what that power was!

    Spatial ability!

    This time, the entire corridor was shining with a silver light.

    Qin Feng was extremely familiar with what was going on!

    It was a Spatial Lock.

    ¡°Huh, quite therge investment in order to catch me!¡±

    These people¡¯s Spatial Lock was different from the Spatial Barrier that Bai Li was able to activate at will and required a lot of spatial stones to make.

    The money spent on this would have been massive!

    Kalinshaughed, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t be worried that you might run away? It¡¯s not a good idea to provoke someone as strong as you. If I just hurt you, then you¡¯d flee ande back in a day or two. What I like to do is solve things once and for all!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes began to clear up. When he opened his eyes, his vision was still blurred but he could see Kalinsha¡¯s shape so he locked onto her.

    ¡°Then perhaps, this space will also be your grave!¡±

 Chapter 727 - Whose Grave?

    <h4>Chapter 727: Whose Grave?</h4>

    When Kalinsha heard those words, she broke out intoughter.

    ¡°My grave? Qin Feng from Huaxia, this will be your grave!¡±

    As she said that, a group of people appeared at one end of the space, at the front of the stairs where Qin Feng walked up.

    His brows were furrowed. He could not help but harden his expression, these people did not just include Mercer but there were four more people.

    Indeed, all of these people were A-tier!

    ¡°You people have really underestimated me!¡± Qin Feng sneered.

    He did not expect Kalinsha to invite six people over. That, including Kalinsha herself, would mean that there were a total of seven opponents.

    Kalinsha saw Qin Feng not as an opponent but more like a walking treasury.

    ¡°Qin Feng, it¡¯s your fault for going overboard. You piged our resources and took it all for yourself. How could we let you go like this?¡±

    These people did not know that Qin Feng had the absorption ability and nobody in the Dark Coalition or groups that Qin Feng attacked were able to personally witness what he did. A majority of them believed that he had just stowed away these treasures!

    Those treasures must be on his person! If they killed him, that meant they would be richer than they ever were.

    That was why these people gathered together.

    ¡°You think that I¡¯m somemb that you can just ughter? Cut up between you and split up evenly? You¡¯re taking things for granted!¡±

    Qin Feng lifted up the Verdant Emperor Saber and shed a chilling grin. ¡°I want to see, just who can stop me!¡±

    When he took a step instead of going for Ralf and Kalinsha, he abruptly headed in Mercer¡¯s direction!

    Not only because these groups of people were in the way of the exit, but it was also because they were ancient warriors!

    Ability users were definitely the number one profession and even had a high chance of reaching A-tier.

    However, the sheer number of ancient warriors made up for their ranks..

    And coincidentally, ancient martial arts was Qin Feng¡¯s strongest factor!

    The five people were taken aback when Qin Feng rushed toward them but they quickly sobered up and unleashed their powerful internal force.

    Nobody dared to underestimate his power, if he could take on and kill two people at once then they would stand no chance in a one-on-one fight!

    Whooooom!

    Five plumes of internal force appeared, roiling with the force like the crashing waves of the open sea.

    Those who were A-tier had internal force the equivalent of a sea and their strength was incredible.

    Qin Feng¡¯s whole body was enveloped with internal force as well.

    The distance between the two sides got closer and closer!

    ¡°Blooming Steel!¡±

    The energies of the two sides collided together, causing a violent explosion as the energy spread all around them and formed into a hurricane.

    This hurricane also began to appear outside and even the reinforced concrete buildings would have been destroyed. However, they were suddenly wrapped up by silver runes before disappearing without a trace.

    Nobody was affected by the hurricane, and they attacked again!

    ¡°Kill him!¡± Kalinsha and Ralf jumped in from behind.

    Kalinsha threw out a chain. At the end of the chain was a sharp barb like a scorpion¡¯s tail which was inky ck in color. Something like that was obviously poisoned!

    Ancient martial arts were different from abilities, but they carried their own special properties.

    Some martial arts contained fire, some contained coldness and some were like poison.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion move had absorption properties and the Sky Burning Sword Style naturally used internal force to take on the properties of fire.

    Kalinsha¡¯s was obviously poison.

    As the sharp barb whizzed out it carried with it a foul corrosive energy as it pierced Qin Feng¡¯s internal force.

    Not only that, but two swords, a dagger, a spear and a quarterstaff mmed into his internal force as well.

    ¡°Shatter!¡±

    These people had fierce expressions on their faces, waiting for Qin Feng¡¯s internal force to shatter and allowing them to actually attack his body.

    But how could Qin Feng just let them shatter his protection so easily!

    His dantian quickly released internal force.

    He burned through 50 pools of internal force in an instant!

    This was the equivalent of a full force blow for an A5-tier ancient warrior. An immense force.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion! Repulsion!¡±

    In that instant, Qin Feng¡¯s internal force exploded and an invisible aura around him repelled the weapons that were intended to strike him. This invisible aura also mmed into his attackers¡¯ internal force.

    Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

    The internal force of six people was disrupted by this repelling force!

    ¡°I¡¯ll end you!¡±

    Qin Feng swung the Verdant Emperor Saber and instantly gave chase to those that were flung away. His target was Kalinsha!

    Her internal force had disappeared and it would take a few moments before she could use it to defend herselfpletely again. That being said, that was the most vulnerable moment for an ancient warrior!

    Qin Feng¡¯s figure rushed forward, ready for the kill.

    ¡°World of Wood!¡±

    This time, Ralf finally took action. Numerous nts with thorns appeared on the ground and if it were not for the Spatial Lock, the World of Wood would have burst out to hundreds of meters, making it impossible for anyone to escape!

    In an instant, Qin Feng was entangled by countless vines and wrapped into arge nt ball!

    Just before Ralf could even smirk, a terrifying burst of me rushed out and filled up the entire hallway!

    ¡°Volcanic Eruption!¡±

    Previously, Qin Feng had absorbed the magma of Firework Mountain and his runes formed a new ability. This time, ming hot magma burst out from his palms like a volcanic eruption. In fact, it flooded the entire passage!

    Kalinsha and Ralf were pushed back all the way to the end of the hallway!

    The remaining five people saw that Qin Feng had his back turned on them. Their eyes shed with murderous intent as they shed out with their weapons!

    Qin Feng turned around to defend himself, the Verdant Emperor Saber shing against several iing weapons.

    ng-tink!

    He managed to block two iing swords, not only that, one of them ended up getting broken in half by the Verdant Emperor Saber!

    ¡°Die!¡± Qin Feng swung horizontally as it burst into mes, unleashing zing Sky!

    The ancient warrior in front of Qin Feng immediately dodged out of the way but behind him there was another ancient warrior who was unable to avoid the attack in time.

    Pfft!

    The burning de brushed past the man¡¯s shoulder!

    Originally, he was relieved that the de did not actually hit him but soon that feeling disappeared as his face became twisted.

    Half of his face ended up getting smashed and a terrible gouge appeared on his shoulder.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber was really terrifying. With its upgrades, just a mere brush would look as if he had been attacked a thousand times, carving out a massive wound.

    Flesh had been cleaved from the side of his face, even revealing some of his teeth as a piece of flesh was chopped out from his shoulder.

    ¡°Aaiee!¡± The ancient warrior screamed.

    A murderous glint flickered in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, raising his unarmed left hand and pulling in a man.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion, Attract!¡±

    In an instant, the ancient warrior lost control of his body and flew toward Qin Feng.

 Chapter 728 - Black and White Ashes

    <h4>Chapter 728: ck and White Ashes</h4>

    Qin Feng seized the opportunity and identified the mistake made by his opponent. The ancient warrior was instantly dragged over toward him.

    The opponent was definitely shocked, while enduring the intense pain, a long sword was raised in hand and aimed toward Qin Feng, forcing him to stay back.

    However, Qin Feng did not even have the intention to dodge it!

    ¡°Vroom!¡±

    The long sword pierced into Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield, draining his internal energy at a shockingly high speed.

    The ancient warrior felt like the weapon was trapped in a sludge and sucked into it, it was extremely difficult to move forward.

    However, the internal strength shield was capable of nullifying other sources of energy but not iste physical matter. The only usage of it was to dy the oppressive energy from the opponent.

    Qin Feng¡¯s strong and unbending Verdant Emperor Saber had always been crushing the internal strength shield of the others. When the rune equipment of the othersnded onto his internal strength shield, it had then turned into a different situation.

    The weapons of Qin Feng¡¯s opponents did not stop moving forward, and his internal strength shield did not shatter either. However, the tip of the weapon was already right on top of Qin Feng¡¯s chest.

    ¡°Die!¡± The opponent was already slurring in speech, but still roared in rage.

    However, something else was faster than his weapon, it was Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    All of a sudden, internal strength exploded, the opponent¡¯s dantian began to leak, energy waves were rolling down and being absorbed by Qin Feng.

    Certainly, the opponent was instantly struck by the reversal meridian!

    However, it was aplex situation, the ancient warrior was not alone, and there was the presence of six others.

    ¡°Save him!¡±

    ¡°Take this opportunity to kill him!¡±

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    The others were yelling as their weaponsnded beside Qin Feng, finally, they had seeded!

    ¡°Boom!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield exploded!

    The weapons hadnded on Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    However, all of those weapons did not manage to pierce through Qin Feng¡¯s clothes.

    Furthermore, an array of glowing light surrounding Qin Feng had appeared and withstood the excessive impacting force!

    Other than the Sacred Armor, Qin Feng was wearing an additional inner suit of the Armor of Vajrayana!

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    Although it seemed like Qin Feng had not suffered any injuries, however, the simultaneous hit from all of the weapons on his body had still caused a massive impact on his internal organs!

    If it were not because of Qin Feng¡¯s physical capabilities that was on par with a B-tier beast emperor, he would not have withstood such a number of attacks from all of them.

    The others had noticed that their attacks toward Qin Feng were in vain. They then immediately switched their target, a dagger was aimed toward Qin Feng¡¯s neck at shing speed!

    Qin Feng raised his hand and tanked the attack with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Dang!¡±

    A crispy clear impact was heard, and the opponent had assumed that it was an evenly matched strike, but soon, he sensed the massive horrifying energy from his hand that was channelled along with vibrations. He could no longer hold onto the dagger on his hand!

    Crack!

    Surprisingly, a gap was cracked open on the dagger, followed by cracking noises, the dagger was then filled with cracked lines!

    ¡°Ah, my weapon!¡± The ancient warrior was infuriated, as it was his most precious treasure that cost him a fortune. Surprisingly, it was destroyed by Qin Feng within seconds!

    Qin Feng dodged the deadly attack, but the others obviously knew that they could not afford to lose such an opportunity, all of them mmed down their weapons.

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    Qin Feng snorted in disdain. He let loose of the ancient warrior. One third of the internal strength within his body had already been drained out, it was about four seas of energy, equivalent to forty pools of internal strength. It had regenerated a portion of Qin Feng¡¯s energy consumption earlier.

    As for the opponent who was in a meridian disorder state, even if there was still a slight amount of energy remaining, it could only secure his survival and was insufficient for him to continue with the battle.

    It was equivalent to one less opponent!

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡±

    All of a sudden, Qin Feng was already behind another person and dodged the besiege from the other four attackers.

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    Qin Feng stood behind an ancient warrior and shed his saber forward.

    However, all of them came prepared, and Qin Feng was in an outnumbered situation. Soon, all of them ganged up on Qin Feng and forced him back!

    Meanwhile, Kalinsha and Ralf had finally escaped from the magma and walked out.

    But as soon as they saw the situation, they were instantly struck dumb by it.

    At that moment, Qin Feng had already switched into another direction. Also, he was no longer in a deadlock by the simultaneous attacks!

    Qin Feng let out a mocking sneer from the edge of his lips. Being a dark ability user, a powerful figure hidden in the dark, how could all of them stop his manoeuvre.

    Now, the tables had turned!

    Thereafter, it was a one-man show!

    ¡°Let¡¯s see if all of you can withstand my ability!¡±

    A ck lotus had appeared within Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    The appearance had instantly sent cold chills down the spines of all seven of them who were there, and they had never been so terrified before!

    The intense presence of death lingered and filled the entire narrow corridor!

    Qin Feng raised his hand, the lotus floated up instantly and began to erge.

    ¡°Apocalypse Bloom!¡±

    The Apocalypse Bloom was originally massive in size, however, constrained within the limited space, the ability¡¯s explosion was contained within the entire avable space. All seven aptitude users were instantly shrouded by the boundless dark runes.

    ¡°Ah!!!!¡±

    The A-tier ancient warrior whose internal strength had been drained earlier was still unable to escape from his fate of being killed by Qin Feng!

    He let out his miserable shriek as his originally wounded shoulder and cheek decayed at high speed. Within a blink of an eye, the decay had affected his entire body, he panicked and immediately swallowed spirit herbs taken out from his spatial rune equipment. However, as soon as those spirit herbs were exposed to the air, all of their energy was instantly drained out too!

    All of a sudden, the A-tier aptitude user had turned into dried bones, and only rune equipment was left behind.

    It was a spine-chilling moment for all of the others.

    Internal strength shield was reactivated to repel the invasive dark energy.

    It was at that moment, Ralf exploded once more.

    ¡°Eternal Life!¡±

    An array of green rune energy fluctuations were immediately formed around Ralf, umted into a shadow of a giant tree, and he was then shrouded by it!

    He ran forward and covered everyone else within, the presence of the tree was full of vitality as it resisted against Qin Feng¡¯s Apocalypse Bloom!

    Meanwhile, Ralf appeared to be pale and worn out, but the full consciousness of the explosion still remained. He knew that as soon as he began to ck off, Qin Feng¡¯s Apocalypse Bloom would definitely devour all of them!

    Qin Feng also seemed to be troubled by the situation, his consciousness maintained control on the runes and resisted against Ralf¡¯s wood runes!

    It was at that moment, Kalinsha lifted up her hand as powerful energy exploded from the bracelet that she wore.

    ¡°Holy Gleam Fall!¡±

    All of a sudden, the bracelet dazzled with eye-piercing white glows!

    Qin Feng finally recalled the moment when he was attacked earlier. Unexpectedly, it was the god weapon bracelet that was capable of releasing all sorts of energy, simr to the features that the Sacred Armor would have!

    Also, the glow was deadly toward dark ability users!

    Both energy sources collided into each other, and a grey area was formed in between the ck and white collision. It was as if all of the energy within the area was diminished.

    It was even the same for spatial runes!

    ¡°Pa!¡±

    A gentle snap was heard, the spatial rune could no longer conceal the massive amount of energy and instantly shattered.

 Chapter 729 - Blood Mist, Unrelenting Massacre

    <h4>Chapter 729: Blood Mist, Unrelenting Massacre</h4>

    Several spatial stones that were embedded and hidden within the corridor were instantly crushed into pieces, forming into a giant range of densely filled tiny spatial rifts!

    Rumble!

    Walls began to fall apart, meanwhile, the rune collision between Qin Feng and Kalinsha had even overturned the roof!

    It was a house built with five floors, and all levels above the third floor were overturned. Tens of meters of building structures exploded and all of them were annihted.

    Amid the chaotic scene, Qin Feng could notunch his attacks. Several spatial rifts in the surroundings were expanding and closing in so Qin Feng could only fall back.

    Swoosh!

    Qin Feng activated his Dragon Steps, and flew up to more than ten meters in height. Yet, he still suffered several scratches from the spatial rifts, and the glow from his Sacred Armor began to dim down.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned sour!

    The Sacred Armor was surprisingly ruined!

    It was definitely detestable!

    Qin Fengshed his vicious vision onto the six people that were amid the ruins. At the same time, countless numbers of eyes were also looking back at him.

    ¡°Now!¡±

    Kalinsha was also in a blood rage moment where she wished she could tear Qin Feng¡¯s body apart!

    However, the call for action was not directed toward the five others, but it was meant for those who were outside.

    The mission to hunt Qin Feng down had just begun!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng finally saw the scene on the outside!

    Earlier, Qin Feng was in a Spatial Lock and was unaware of the ongoings from the outside. Now, it was all surrounded by aptitude users, and their numbers were horrifying!

    There were originally approximately thirty to forty B-tiers that were present at the banquet. Perhaps Kalinsha had hidden some of the others, in total, there were more than a hundred of them now.

    Furthermore, there were even C-tier aptitude users that were surrounding the outer part.

    There were about seven to eight hundred of them, densely packed together. Qin Feng felt that every C-tier aptitude user from the Dark Coalition of the Amazon was there!

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    There were at least tens of enraged B-tier aptitude users around, revealing their explosive consciousness.

    Qin Feng was surrounded by all sorts of runes, there were even two to three light runes that were formed into massive abilities!

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    ¡°Earth Dragon Style!¡±

    ¡°Wind Dragon Style!¡±

    ¡°Light Dragon Style!¡±

    An elemental wyvern sized about twenty meters in length whizzed around and shrouded the surrounding space that Qin Feng was in into aplete deadlock!

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The dragon roar echo was capable of numbing Qin Feng¡¯s hearing!

    An overwhelming number of ants was capable of devouring an elephant, and Qin Feng was the elephant that was about to be bitten to death.

    ¡°Fire Wall!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness exploded and engulfed him in mes. Kalinsha¡¯s banquet hall was lit up by magma that was spread across the ground, the building gradually sinking.

    Meanwhile, the elemental wyvern was being forced back by Qin Feng¡¯s wall, his consciousness and runes were also draining quickly. However, he was still consumed by his urge to kill.

    ¡°Release the wall, suppress him!¡± Ralf shouted in a weakened voice.

    The battle against Qin Feng¡¯s Apocalypse Bloom had consumed too much of Ralf¡¯s consciousness. Furthermore, fire abilities were originally the bane of wood abilities. Ralf had protected the other five persons, and he could no longer withstand Qin Feng¡¯s attack anymore!

    The double-floored building was about to sink, and Ralf felt that he should prioritize his escape.

    However, his intention was the total opposite of Qin Feng¡¯s.

    Escape? At that moment, how could Qin Feng allow him to escape?!

    Qin Feng activated his consciousness andunched a horrifying attack!

    ¡°Fire Dragon Style!¡±

    Tens of magma fire dragons rushed toward Ralf!

    ¡°Be careful!¡± The tall and sturdy Mercer blocked in front with internal strength shrouding his body, it was formed into a range of powerful energy fields.

    It was already beyond the coverage of an internal strength shield.

    Internal strength shield field!

    The range of the shield field withstood the attacks from tens of fire dragons summoned by Qin Feng and exploded instantly.

    Boom boom!

    The explosion tossed Mercer and Ralf downstairs, and they plunged into the magma!

    Pzz pzz pzz pzz!

    Rune equipment on Mercer and Ralf were lit up by mes, they were heavily injured by the me and felt the burning pain.

    ¡°What are you guys doing? Kill him quickly!¡± Kalinsha shouted again.

    Meanwhile, B-tier aptitude users that surrounded Qin Feng¡¯s fire wall had finally regained their conscious minds!

    B-tier aptitude users had less understanding toward shield fields or walls, however, there were still some talents or figures that had risen up long enough to understand them. Even if only one fifth among them couldprehend, there would already be more than twenty of them.

    They looked at each other and released their suppression toward Qin Feng¡¯s fire wall.

    The wall was instantly forced to shrink, while the remaining aptitude users also released their battle skill abilities, draining Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness and runes.

    It had be a to-and-fro tussle!

    Apart from Mercer and Ralf, Kalinsha and the other four ancient warriors exerted their shield fields within Qin Feng¡¯s fire wall and resisted against him.

    The battle had almost escted to a white-hot one!

    Qin Feng was draining a great amount of internal strength and consciousness, and at the moment he felt slightly exhausted. Furthermore, he knew that things would eventually end up to be unfavourable for him!

    ¡°Retreat!¡±

    Qin Feng reduced the coverage of the fire wall, in the eyes of the others, it was a clear indication that Qin Feng could no longer sustain himself!

    ¡°Ah!! Forward, kill him!¡±

    A bunch of B-tiers were thrilled and shouted.

    Qin Feng was also consumed by his immense urge to kill.

    The A-tier aptitude users were not easy targets, but to take down the others, was it not as easy as pie for Qin Feng?

    He instantly changed his target andunched his deadly attack toward a B-tier ability user.

    The ability user was suppressing Qin Feng¡¯s fire wall with a mighty water wall. The oue was obviously effective, but little did he know that Qin Feng would change his target and go for him instead.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    He opened his eyes wide and witnessed Qin Feng pierce through his water wall and close in for a deadly horizontal sh with the Verdant Emperor Saber in hand!

    An entire skull was decapitated and tossed up to the sky.

    Pfft!

    Fresh blood squirted and sprayed onto Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng went wild with his activated ability. The dead body of the aptitude user killed earlier was still warm, but it was then struck by the exploding ability from Qin Feng and transformed into a dried corpse.

    However, the others ignored the sacrificed dead body. They were consumed by their bloodlust, and several ancient warriors were already standing before Qin Feng.

    ¡°Mountain Shoving Palm!¡±

    ¡°Sky Shatter Split!¡±

    Ancient warriors unleashed their powerful internal strength and mmed their attacks toward Qin Feng.

    Vroom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield had risen again and withstood all of the iing attacks thatnded on it!

    ¡°Get away from me!¡±

    Qin Feng let out an enraged roar and swept his Verdant Emperor Saber across!

    Meanwhile, without any special skills and with only injection of internal strength, the Verdant Emperor Saber was embedded with an explosive fuchsia glow, disintegrating everything that it swept past!

    Kill!

    Kill kill kill!

    Qin Feng charged forward to kill, securing kills from each sh as fresh blood squirted onto his internal strength shield that had just coagted. It would then be vaporized by the internal strength as the amount of iing opponents surged. Qin Feng continued to kill all of them as their fresh blood sprayed onto him.

    It was like Qin Feng had been shrouded by blood mist.

 Chapter 730 - The Second Apocalypse Bloom

    <h4>Chapter 730: The Second Apocalypse Bloom</h4>

    Within just several steps, Qin Feng had already killed more than twenty B-tier aptitude users. His Asteroid Assimtion went wild swirling around, and the internal strength of all ancient warriors around were drained out by him. The dead ability users had also replenished his consciousness.

    However, Qin Feng was attacked by even more people. Internal strength and abilities were everywhere, and it had caused Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength to plunge quickly.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see how long all of you can remain in this!¡± Qin Feng showcased his merciless expression as his weapon in hand was attacking non-stop, he knew that the only way for him to survive was to get more kills.

    He killed to eliminate those dangerous threats, and another major reason was to heal his own injuries and regenerate hisbat energy.

    However, the others were also aiming to kill Qin Feng. As his internal strength shield was destroyed several times, countless numbers of abilities and battle skillsnded onto his body, causing his clothes to be more and more worn out.

    Qin Feng had even vomited fresh blood.

    For each time his protective shield was destroyed, Qin Feng would also suffer heavy injuries.

    However, those people were unaware of Qin Feng¡¯s equally powerful regenerating capability.

    Meanwhile, umted from the ughter, his internal strength had already been replenished to the level of a hundred pools.

    Qin Feng instantly disappeared from the ground.

    Dark abilities burst forth.

    ¡°Be careful!¡± Kalinsha shouted as the ring on her finger exploded with gleaming lights.

    All of a sudden, everyone in the surrounding was dispersed by the light, including their own shadows, and Qin Feng¡¯s shadow was also revealed by it.

    ¡°Where is he?!¡±

    ¡°Ah, Master Ralf!¡±

    ¡°Watch out!¡±

    Ralf red with his eyes wide opened. Struck by a cold chill down his neck, he had never felt such a deadly threat before, and it was approaching from behind.

    It all happened in a sudden, furthermore, Ralf was already exhausted!

    It was toote.

    ¡°Poof!¡±

    A dagger pierced through Ralf¡¯s stomach, followed by an array of brutal energy that tore his organs apart and crushed them into pieces!

    Ralf activated his abilities and countless green lights burst forth from within his body. His wound was healed at a visible speed, but obviously, the expanding wound was faster.

    The attributes of Qin Feng¡¯s weapon were too horrifying!

    Furthermore, how could Qin Feng allow Ralf to have the opportunity to heal?

    Qin Feng raised his hand as his Verdant Emperor Saber swished upward, drawing it away from Ralf¡¯s body.

    Meanwhile, Ralf¡¯s struggling movements had finallye to an end.

    A stretch of horrifying fuchsia marks were left on his face, and within seconds, Ralf had already been murdered by Qin Feng!

    Massive amount of consciousness was channelled out from Ralf¡¯s body, it had then replenished Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness that was almost drained out.

    Now that the battle had already persisted for an hour, Qin Feng seemed to be heavily wounded. However, Kalinsha had already suffered losses of two A-tier aptitude users, and an unidentified number of B-tier aptitude users!

    As soon as Ralf was killed, Qin Feng¡¯s urge to kill spiked to another new height!

    ¡°Let¡¯s try this again!¡±

    While saying so, Qin Feng raised his hand again.

    Apocalypse Bloom began channelling once more.

    Meanwhile, Kalinsha and the others realized that they were doomed.

    They had gotten their taste of the ability, Kalinsha¡¯s ring was still heated up by it. Ralf¡¯s consciousness was greatly wounded by it, and if it was not because of the ability, Ralf would not have not been so drained out. Qin Feng, then, would not have had the opportunity to secure the kill!

    ¡°Ah!!!¡± Mercer let out an enraged roar as he rushed toward Qin Feng with his tall and sturdy body. He was prepared tounch a suicidal attack and force Qin Feng to stop using the ability.

    ¡°Stop him, or else all of you will also die!¡±

    Kalinsha roared.

    The remaining five persons sprinted toward Qin Feng whileunching their most powerful attack.

    However, it was impossible for them to outpace Qin Feng in unleashing his ability. He lifted his palm, and the deadly Apocalypse Bloom rose up full-fledged again.

    At that moment, without spatial restrictions, the Apocalypse Bloom was at its full bloom state. Only then the others realized the true capability of the giant bloom, such a horrifying ability!

    Meanwhile, all five ability users got close to Qin Feng and unleashed their violent attacks.

    With the intense urge to murder in his eyes, Qin Feng seemed to be well-prepared for the moment.

    ¡°This will all end now!¡±

    As soon as the Apocalypse Bloom was released, the battle had already ended!

    Horrifying darkness fell upon the A-tier aptitude users and shrouded around them!

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Sight, smell, hearing, and touch, all senses had diminishedpletely.

    There was even a slight nk moment for everyone. Those ancient warriors did not have senses as sharp as the ability users, however, they still noticed the unusual moment and were alerted by it.

    They were struggling, and internal strengths were activated to repel against the dark abilities!

    Perhaps they only required one or two seconds to escape from the dark ability control, however, as stated by Qin Feng, it was toote!

    The descending of the Apocalypse Bloom had already taken ce.

    A petalnded on Kalinsha¡¯s body, and her internal strength shield melted like ice!

    The petal looked dimmer in colour, but when itnded onto Kalinsha¡¯s body, it was still grey in color. At that moment, bizarre changes had taken ce on her body.

    It was like Kalinsha had instantly aged for tens of years, her skin became loose, and her youthful look had turned pale and old. She looked like a wrinkly elderly.

    Kalinsha was originally an elder, just that her true appearance was finally revealed.

    For a woman, it was the cruelest treatment to have.

    ¡°Ah ah ah ah!¡± Kalinsha let out her miserable shrieks. She looked at her own dried out hands, trembling as she touched her cheeks. She could not believe what she was seeing.

    The others were also struck by a moment of disbelief.

    The youthful person earlier was transformed into an elderly!

    Mercer instantly reacted. At that moment, he no longer had the intention to continue his attacks toward Qin Feng, his first reaction was to run away and escape!

    If he were to run away from the coverage of the ability, he could at least survive. At most, would he not just forfeit several years from his total life span? His longevity could still be replenished by some supplementary Heavenly Jewels!

    However, would Qin Feng allow him to just escape?

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng activated the remaining internal strength that he had.

    All five ancient warriors that were surrounding him could no longer control their movements. They were forced to rush toward Qin Feng, their bodies were frozen still by the shield field!

    Qin Feng ced his palm on the dantian of two ancient warriors, and internal strength flooded into Qin Feng body, replenishing his own drained out dantian. It was then filled with a plentiful amount of internal strength.

    Both A2-tier and A3-tier ancient warriors had five seas of energy, and they contributed fifty pools of internal strength!

    Qin Feng changed his target again. Mercer, who was still struggling, began to settle down and remained calm. Wth his physique that was more well-built than Qin Feng¡¯s, he wished he could shrink himself into an unidentifiable ball to hide himself.

    ¡°General Qin Feng, please let me go, I am willing to offer all of my assets, please let me...¡±

    Qin Feng sneered, the only reaction that he gave was to continue his energy draining!

    Another fifty pools of internal strength!

 Chapter 731 - Massacring a City

    <h4>Chapter 731: Massacring a City</h4>

    Qin Feng pushed Mercer¡¯s massive body several meters away, defeating the A-tier ancient warrior.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy hadpletely healed by now. Although it was not as powerful as what he had, it was already quite powerful¡ªthe amount was almost as big as 150 pools.

    Right now, as his murderous intent perked up, Qin Feng leered at Kalinsha.

    ¡°Hehe!¡± Qin Feng smirked, ¡°I don¡¯t know if anyone would recognize your face when I¡¯m done with you. But it¡¯s alright. There is bound to be someone who would recognize you after they find your dead body anyway.¡±

    ¡°Noo!!!¡±

    Kalinsha widened her eyes as she cried out loudly. Then, her internal energy waspletely drained away before her head got chopped off.

    Thus, Qin Feng hadpletely yed all seven A-tier ability users.

    He raised his eyes and saw that within hundreds of meters his Apocalypse Bloom had killed dozens of B-tiers in the vicinity. A handful of B-tiers were still alive, yet struggling to keep on living. They were all aged into frail old people, doing their darndest to climb away from the influence of the Apocalypse Bloom.

    They still wanted to live!

    However, there was no way Qin Feng would allow it. Heh, they surrounded him and tried to kill him. There was no way he would let them live.

    Thus, Qin Feng let out a smirk and raised his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Pfft!!

    A head was chopped off and rolled on the ground. However, there was no blood bursting out¡ªit seemed that the man was already half-dead, with all his blood dried out before the de even touched his neck.

    Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

    Qin Feng strolled on slowly as he waved around his saber, as though he was simply taking a rxing walk in the garden.

    The C-tiers that were looking from the outside were shaking in fear.

    Other than the B-tiers, there were even more C-tiers that showed up to surround Qin Feng earlier. However, they kept a distance by using their abilities and long-ranged weapons. If it was not because of Qin Feng¡¯s powerful internal energy, he would have been bombarded into a hedgehog by now.

    Seeing that their leader was dead, these C-tiers did not dare to stay any longer.

    Of course, Qin Feng would not allow that.

    ¡°Oh, you want to leave? Where is that big ass energy that you were showing earlier when you surrounded me, hmm?¡±

    Qin Feng smirked and cut down thest surviving B-tier and absorbed his consciousness before walking straight toward the C-tiers. Right now, his presence and power were even more prominent than before.

    Well, actually, this was him showcasing his real power¡ªhe had been concealing his true power using his dark abilities from the start.

    Right now, after he had revealed his dominating presence, the others finally knew just how strong he was.

    This man was as strong as a B2-tier beast emperor. From afar, Qin Feng looked like a fearsome, ancient beast!

    Seeing this, the C-tiers felt even more terrified than before!

    ¡°Split up! If we split up, he can¡¯t catch all of us in one shot!¡±

    A C-tier screamed out to the others in desperation. However, as soon as he finished his words, he could feel that Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had locked onto him. In fact, every single C-tier too had felt that they were locked on by Qin Feng.

    The C-tier who suggested splitting up quickly turned tail and ran in a different direction. Yet, Qin Feng immediately emerged from his shadows; before he was able to react, Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber had sliced through his waist.

    Pfft!!

    The C-tier was cut in half almost instantly.

    The others, upon seeing this, started running too.

    ¡°Ahhh!!! Ruuun!!!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to die! I don¡¯t want to die!¡±

    ¡°He can¡¯t possibly kill all of us. Just keep running!¡±

    They were overwhelmed with panic. Of course, Qin Feng was not going to let them go.

    He still had a lot of internal energy reserve. As such, he opted to slice them down one by one without using his abilities. And after being locked on by his consciousness, the C-tiers could never outrun Qin Feng.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pffft!

    Qin Feng¡¯s de cut down the entire group like a tractor harvesting wheat. In a matter of minutes, the whole ce was painted red with their blood¡ªfrom the lobby to the entrance, and all the way to the town za. The C-tiers¡¯ excruciating cries could be heard throughout the city.

    No one dared toe out and see what was happening. Qin Feng was like a grim reaper, one that every living being feared.

    No one was able to escape Qin Feng. Some of the C-tiers even tried to activate their spatial waymarks. However, as they were activating them, they were killed by meteors that fell from the sky!

    The entire massacrested for three hours.

    It was now 4 am. The sky was starting to light up, revealing the bloodshed that was happening under the cloak of night earlier. After checking that there was no one left to kill, Qin Feng smirked and left.

    As soon as he left, a huge uproar could be heard from within the city.

    The citizens had some idea of what was happening in the night. Yet, they did not know just how severe the situation was.

    The owner of the city and every single authority of the Dark Coalition within the Amazon Alliance were in. Some people within the city and the Amazon Alliance could not sleep the whole night; yet, they did not expect to hear the news.

    Many within the Amazon Alliance knew about Kalinsha¡¯s n; they even secretly condoned it.

    They thought that Qin Feng would definitely be killed by Kalinsha, seeing that there were seven A-tiers joining the operation.

    Yet, they did not expect things to turn out this way.

    ¡°How could this be? They had seven A-tiers with them!¡±

    ¡°Dead? What do you mean ¡®dead¡¯? All of them?!¡±

    ¡°Holy crap! This Qin Feng from the Huaxia Alliance... he¡¯s like the devil. We must get rid of him now. If not, how could we and the Amazon Alliance survive within the Human Alliance?¡±

    ¡°But...¡±

    One of them hesitated for a moment before asking, ¡°Do we still have A-tiers to take him on?¡±

    Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

    The Amazon Alliance indeed did not have many A-tiers left that could handle this task¡ªthey had less than one hundred A-tiers left amongst their ranks. They could not afford to lose any of their remaining A-tiers within their alliance.

    Now that Qin Feng had in nine of them, that meant that they had lost one-tenth of their A-tiers. Besides, all of these A-tiers were members of the Dark Coalition.

    ¡°Or perhaps we could ask the S-tiers...¡±

    Before he was able to finish his words, everyone sat down quietly and with defeated looks.

    Would an S-tier be willing to do this favor for weaklings like them?

 Chapter 732 - The Wrath of an S-tier

    <h4>Chapter 732: The Wrath of an S-tier</h4>

    Nheless, they had no choice but to report this to the Dark Coalition¡¯s S-tiers.

    The Amazon Alliance had lost their S-tier three decades ago. No one knew where he went. Many believed that he was dead.

    Thus, in all these years, the Amazon Alliance fell under the control of Devil¡¯s Eye. They now answered to Eye Devil¡ªthe leader of Devil¡¯s Eye. No one knew the real name of Eye Devil. However, they knew that he was a powerful man. And to these people, power was everything; this was why they submitted to him.

    Meanwhile, Eye Devil was quite calm after receiving the news.

    This man looked quite young¡ªabout twenty years of age. He wore a simple, white robe that was decorated with golden flowers. This robe was not any mere robe¡ªit was a god armor.

    Eye Devil¡¯s body was radiating with light, warming anyone who was standing nearby.

    His eyes, however, werepletely ck in color¡ªhe had no sclera at all.

    ¡°Alright.¡± Eye Devil replied softly before raising his hand and shooting out a ray of light energy, ripping a dimensional tunnel in the space in front of him.

    He did not even bother to activate a spatial waymark¡ªall he did was tear a dimensional tunnel in front of him using his light powers.

    Thus, he teleported straight to the Amazon Alliance¡¯s headquarters in just one step. Then, he raised his head and looked at the sun that was rising in the sky. A huge eye ball then emerged from the clouds, scanning the entire area as though it was searching for something.

    Then, it finally locked onto its target and fired a beam of light.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was meditating in the wild. He had disrobed his Sacred Armor¡ªit was an armor that was made from the pinnacle of technology of the Soul Tribe so it had great self-reparation capabilities. This time, however, it was greatly damaged; so, it would need at least ten days to fully repair itself.

    Thus, Qin Feng changed into a normalbat suit and meditated to recover his internal energy.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng had an eerie feeling that someone was watching him. At first, it was just an asional eerie feeling. Then, this feeling got more and more intense.

    Qin Feng raised his head and saw a ray of light shining on him, seeminglying from the sun.

    After a short moment of thinking, Qin Feng understood what this meant.

    ¡°Ah, Devil¡¯s Eye. They have finallye out to the open!¡±

    Then, he could sense that an overwhelming, destructive force was crashing straight at him. It was so powerful that Qin Feng did not think he had any means to counter it.

    ¡°Bai Li!¡±

    Qin Feng cried out loudly using his consciousness.

    ¡°Spatial Passage! Now! Bring me back now!¡±

    Sensing the urgency in his voice, Bai Li immediately activated her spatial powers.

    Although both of them were quite far away from one another, to Bai Li this was just moving from one spatial point to another. As such, moving him from a great distance was not a problem for her.

    In an instant, a circle of silver ray emerged from beneath Qin Feng¡¯s feet. Then, Qin Feng fell straight into the Spatial Passage that appeared beneath him.

    As soon as he got into the Spatial Passage, the powerful light attacknded where he was standing.

    Booom!

    The attack punctured a massive hole, one that was hundred meters wide, at where Qin Feng was standing earlier.

    The hole was so deep that it reached the natural water source under the soil! In a matter of minutes, the hole had turned into ake.

    Eye Devil, on the other hand, was surprised by this turn of events.

    The huge eyeball stared at the newly createdke with disbelief. He knew that his attack did not kill Qin Feng earlier despite the great destruction it caused.

    This had never happened before. It was quite impossible for an S-tier to miss his target like this.

    However, Eye Devil was not going to let his prey go so easily.

    The huge eyeball started to look around again.

    It was not actually ¡°looking¡± but rather ¡°locking onto¡± its target using consciousness.

    Thus, Eye Devil was able to ¡°see¡± that his target had fled all the way to the Huaxia Alliance¡¯s turf¡ªto Fengli City!

    The eyeball was able to locate Qin Feng in his vi.

    Sensing that he had been locked on, Qin Feng¡¯s face turned grim.

    No way. Was heing this way?

    Qin Feng rushed out of his vi and looked to the skies. And then he saw a ray of light energy darting toward him at great speed.

    Bai Li, too, realized what was going on. Her stunningly exquisite face looked serious and grim as she looked at the sky. This was her and Qin Feng¡¯s home. She could not allow anyone to harm it.

    Thus, Bai Li raised her hand! A te of silver ray appeared in the sky before morphing into a huge, dark Spatial Tunnel.

    As the golden light ray got closer, the whole city was blinded by this overwhelming energy. Then, suddenly, a massive, ck ¡°hole¡± appeared in the air, relieving them from the blinding light.

    It took a few seconds for the citizens of Fengli to realize what was going on¡ªthey were under attack!

    Meanwhile, the golden light raynded on the Spatial Passage, which absorbed itpletely. However, a crack started to form around the ck spatial hole. Glitters of light escaped from the crack as it split wider by the second.

    Qin Feng, too, raised his hands now, concentrating his consciousness like never before to summon all his dark energy from his Diamond Starglobe. Then...

    Burst!

    ¡°Dark sh!¡±

    Although this was just a simple dark ability, Qin Feng knew this was the best method to counter the light attack. All he needed to do was focus all his dark runes and intensify his Dark sh.

    Thus, in an instant, Qin Feng¡¯s Dark sh darted to the air as it rapidly expanded to at least fifty-meter wide.

    Crack!!

    Bai Li¡¯s Spatial Passage had now beenpletely broken by the light attack¡ªjust in time for Dark sh to rush up to take it on.

    Booom!!

    A powerful shockwave swept across Fengli City¡¯s airspace. The whole city¡¯s rm system was sounded before the city began to shield itself with its barrier.

    The shockwave was so powerful that itsted for a minute.

    Eye Devil frowned.

    He was an S-tier.

    And his attack¡ªan S-tier¡¯s attack was blocked twice.

    This was, to him, a humiliation.

    Thus, he ordered his eyeball to shoot down a third golden ray!

 Chapter 733 - The Third Attempt Should be the Last

    <h4>Chapter 733: The Third Attempt Should be the Last</h4>

    The ray of light was striking swiftly from above; and this time, Qin Feng had no way to defend against it.

    He had used up all of his conscious energy earlier¡ªall of his dark rune reserves were all used up. If given enough time, he could recover the runes. However, at this moment, he could not recover quick enough to take on this light attack.

    Bai Li¡¯s face was as pale as a sheet too. She did not expect that the light attack earlier would be so powerful. The overwhelming attack reminded her of Z.

    The attack was an attack from an S-tier.

    ¡°Perhaps I could block it with my internal energy.¡±

    Qin Feng clenched the Verdant Emperor Saber firmly in his hand, preparing to burst out his internal energy.

    Even if he could defend against this attack, Qin Feng knew that this vi that Bai Li loved so much would be leveled to the ground.

    It was then everyone could hear a loud roar¡ªone that was like the roar of a dragon! Then, they could see a beam of ck light shining from afar; secondster, the ck light morphed into a terrifying ck dragon.

    Upon seeing this, Qin Feng¡¯s face turned grim. He had seen this dragon before¡ªit was Z¡¯s spirit. Not only that, this ck dragon came from Cinderst City.

    So, Z had not left the city yet?

    Or maybe he was still doing experiments in his turf again?

    Yet, right now Qin Feng could not care about these anymore as the ck dragon rose to the sky and swallowed the bright light that was darting at Fengli City.

    Then, the dragon flew up straight into the clouds. When it was in the clouds, Qin Feng could sense that Z¡¯s spirit had swallowed something mid-air. Then, he seemed to have heard something that was crushed, like a bottle of ss being smashed against a wall. After that, he could not sense Z¡¯s presence anymore.

    However, that lingering, eerie feeling that he was being watched was also gone!

    Realizing this, Qin Feng felt a tremendous weight off his shoulders. When he was finally rxed, Qin Feng could feel that his entire body was burning with pain.

    ¡°Devil¡¯s Eye. They¡¯re quite good!¡±

    Qin Feng did not expect Z woulde to his rescue though.

    ¡°Perhaps the man was indeed pulling punches when we butted heads thest time!¡± Qin Feng shook his head and smiled bitterly to himself. When he fought Z, he had lost two god items in one go! If it was not because of these trump cards, Qin Feng would be a goner the moment Z lifted his finger.

    ¡°Yay, the crisis is over!¡± Bai Li looked at Qin Feng. ¡°So, who¡¯s this baddie that was attacking you? I saw a big creepy eyeball in the sky. Ew!¡±

    ¡°It was the Devil¡¯s Eye¡¯s and Amazon Alliance¡¯s S-tier ability user.¡± Qin Feng said, ¡°I thought he was still staying in a different dimension. I didn¡¯t think he was already back. I suppose I¡¯ve indeed pissed them off real good this time, seeing that they asked him to take me down.¡±

    Qin Feng then beamed up a cold smirk. Indeed, the Amazon Alliance had good reasons to hate him because he had killed and plundered them so much.

    ¡°Thank goodness Z was here... but...¡±

    Qin Feng frowned when he thought about Z.

    If there was one person¡¯s favor that he did not want to owe, it would be Z¡¯s. Moreover, Z was still at Cinderst City. This very fact too was troubling him.

    ***

    The huge eyeball that was looking at Fengli City waspletely swallowed by the ck dragon. Eye Devil¡¯s darkened eyes suddenly turned even dimmer than before.

    On the surface, it looked like Eye Devil was merely frowning. However, he was already wounded from that dragon¡¯s fierce munch.

    Eye Devil felt a subtle wariness when he saw that some other powerful champion had shown up to defeat his eyeball. He thought that the Huaxia Alliance would not care if they lost just one mere general.

    Still, as the saying goes, ¡°The third attempt should be thest¡±. He had tried to kill Qin Feng three times and he failed all three times. Eye Devil could not help but to admit that this young man was indeed someone unusually capable.

    Thus, Eye Devil had lost interest in taking care of this matter anymore and contacted the person who sought his help. ¡°I¡¯m heading back. Leave that boy be. Don¡¯t call me again for trivial matters.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir! Understood, Sir!¡±

    The man wiped off the cold sweat that was rolling down on his forehead while trying to ponder what Eye Devil meant.

    ¡°He said ¡®Leave the boy be¡¯... what does this mean? Does this mean that even the Mr S-tier could not kill this Qin Feng from Huaxia?¡±

    The man jumped after thinking this. Thus, he quickly held an emergency meeting with the other board members in the Amazon Alliance.

    Eye Devil did not bother to give Amazon Alliance an exnation. As such, they did not know that Qin Feng had already gone back to Huaxia Alliance. Besides, even if he had gone back to Huaxia; so what? If he wanted to get revenge, he could always use his spatial waymark toe back.

    As such, they realized that things had gotten severe.

    ¡°No, we can¡¯t allow Huaxia¡¯s Qin Feng to live. He¡¯s too powerful and dangerous to be left alive. If he¡¯s allowed to live, he will keep on killing until we are all dead.¡±

    ¡°Resources! We can¡¯t have our resources be plundered like this. He keeps taking everything wherever he goes! I don¡¯t know how he even takes all of them like this!¡±

    ¡°What do we do now?¡±

    ¡°Or... maybe we could plead to have him removed? Let¡¯s stop trying to kill him. There¡¯s no way we could harm him. Even the A-tiers can¡¯t take him on! And even the S-tier doesn¡¯t want to put a finger on him...¡±

    ¡°But how do we have him removed?¡±

    After a long brainstorming session, some of them finally had some ideas. Thus, they drafted aint letter to the regent of Huaxia¡¯s Northern region.

    ***

    At Fengli City, the citizens had now gone back to their day-to-day life,pletely forgotten about the crisis.

    To them, so long as their governor was still with them, they would be safe.

    They did not know just how dangerous the situation was earlier. All they knew was Qin Feng had used his abilities to stop a crisis. As for the ¡°ck dragon¡±, they thought it was a secret weapon from the Floating City.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng received a call from Shang Han.

    ¡°Qin Feng! What the hell were you doing at the Amazon? They said you have in the citizens of a whole city! They want you to leave the Amazon Alliance!¡±

    Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was stunned. However, after a quick thought, a smirk beamed up on his face.

    ¡°But I was helping them! Sigh. I didn¡¯t think they would be so displeased with this.¡±

    ¡°Help? You were helping? What¡¯s going on here?¡±

    Shang Han had a lot of official matters to handle in her office. As such, she was not caught up with what was happening in the Amazon. Besides, Xu Qing had reported back and said the support mission was alreadypleted on the first day. She even praised Qin Feng¡¯s capability back then.

    However, she did not think that Qin Feng would stay in the Amazon and then cause such a ruckus.

    Qin Feng then told everything to Shang Han; but he did not tell her about Eye Devil¡¯s attack. He only exined that he sensed that there was a strong presence helping the Dark Coalition there, keeping intel about Z from her.

    After listening to what he had to say, Shang Han waspletely speechless.

    After a few secondster, she finally opened her mouth, ¡°So, you¡¯re saying that... you¡¯ve killed nine A-tiers from the Amazon Alliance. And then killed hundreds of their B-tiers and then thousands of their C-tiers??¡±

    Qin Feng let out a dry cough before correcting her, ¡°It¡¯s the Amazon¡¯s Dark Coalition.¡±

 Chapter 734 - Ransoming Good Grace

    <h4>Chapter 734: Ransoming Good Grace</h4>

    Shang Han was speechless. Even though these were people from the Dark Coalition, sometimes even they could help with taking care of ultra beast problems for the governments. More importantly, these people might actually have someone powerful backing them up.

    ¡°Sigh. Fine. Since this S-tier has decided to stop, these people probably would not hunt you down anymore. But you should stop with this nonsensical campaign right now. Don¡¯t go to the Amazon Alliance again, you hear me?¡±

    ¡°Of course I won¡¯t. Besides, there isn¡¯t anyone else that is worth killing there.¡±

    It was true. Qin Feng had killed every single powerful criminal that was active in the Amazon. There were still some left but these were quite powerful and cunning¡ªit would take him too much effort to find them. Besides, there was still an S-tier that wanted to take his life over there.

    Hearing this, Shang Han rolled her eyes at him. ¡°What? If there¡¯s still someone that is ¡®worth killing¡¯, you want to go back there still?¡±

    Qin Feng beamed up a smile. His body gestures seemingly affirmed that he would indeed still go back there to kill these criminal scums.

    Shang Han shrugged. ¡°Well, it¡¯s best that you stop now. I¡¯ve told them that I¡¯ve called you back to base.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Certainly. Oh, now that they have a lot of B-tiers in overnight... their faction would be weakened. It¡¯s high time for us to grab more territories between our and their borders. And I would like to have some bonus from this.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t worry. You¡¯ll get your bonus.¡±

    Although Shang Han was dumbfounded by what Qin Feng did, she was quite pleased with the results. In general, Qin Feng¡¯s actions had brought great benefits to the Huaxia faction.

    After hanging up, Shang Han sent some men to the borders to fight for more territories and resources. Qin Feng, on the other hand, asked Bai Li to handle their vi¡¯s visitors while he meditated.

    Qin Feng had killed a lot of people in the battles in the Amazon. As such, he had umted a huge amount of internal energy in his dantian. Out of seven A-tiers that he killed, six of them were ancient warriors. Although he had used up a lot of his internal energy reserve, Qin Feng still had three of these ancient warriors¡¯ internal energy in him. And these were about as huge as 150 seas too.

    And that was not all.

    He had also absorbed over hundreds of B-tiers¡¯ powers; and about seventy of them were ancient warriors. Then, there were the C-tiers. About 80% of the seven hundred C-tiers that he had absorbed were ancient warriors too.

    In other words, if Qin Feng did not digest these energies soon... his dantian might explode from overloading.

    These energies were also the reason Qin Feng kept on killing these Dark Coalition members¡ªhe needed a means to release them.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion... no wonder people consider this is an ¡®evil¡¯ neigong.¡±

    Regardless, Qin Feng did not regret learning Asteroid Assimtion.

    If it were not for this neigong, Qin Feng would not be able to take on so many ancient warriors.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his ability and started to absorb these internal energies that were crowding in his dantian.

    Perhaps the effort to absorb that took a great deal of effort, Qin Feng¡¯s head started to fume with vapors.

    After quite some time, he was finally able to separate the energies that he could and could not absorb¡ªhe absorbed the former while releasing thetter using his consciousness.

    Thus, his internal energy kept on increasing as minutes went by.

    One sea of internal energy.... two seas of internal energy... then, more and more energy umted in his dantian.

    When he was finally done, Qin Feng¡¯s dantian now had an increase of 300 seas of internal energy!

    Qin Feng opened his eyes and breathed out white, warm vapors.

    ¡°If I did not waste too much energy killing these people... I might be able to get a lot more than this. Sigh. Killing seven A-tiers is indeed a difficult feat.¡±

    ¡°Still... killing these people isn¡¯t as beneficial to mepared to killing ultra beasts. After absorbing so much internal energy from these people, I still haven¡¯t reached B3-tier yet! Hmm... still, it¡¯s a great way to increase my internal energy... yeah, I should be content with it. It¡¯s rare to have such a chance to get three times the amount of internal energy I got like this in one go after all.¡±

    Qin Feng walked out of his training room confidently. Yet, when he stepped out of his room, he immediately sensed that something was off.

    Qin Feng quickly activated his qinggong and rushed to the living room.

    Then, he saw him.

    A visitor.

    A visitor that he never wanted to see in his home.

    Bai Li was sitting next to this visitor in the living room. Thetter seemed to be having a good time on the sofa, already treating Qin Feng¡¯s vi like his home.

    ¡°Hey, little fox. Gimme more of this fruit wine! It¡¯s really nice!¡±

    Bai Li rolled an eye at the man. ¡°You¡¯ve gulped down 8 bottles of these. How are you not dead yet? Actually. Why don¡¯t you just die already? So, I can devour you. I bet your flesh can make me a lot stronger than I am right now!¡±

    ¡°Oh,e on. Is this how you treat the person who saved your life?¡±

    ¡°What you¡¯re doing is worse! You¡¯re ransoming us just because you did something good to us!¡±

    ¡°Sigh. How ungrateful... If I knew this earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have saved you.¡±

    Qin Feng walked toward them as they finished their conversation. He looked at this visitor straight in the eye¡ªit was Z. And as always, Z still looked young and handsome, still had that weary look in his eyes. However, right now, he looked quite rxed and less daunting than theirst encounter.

    He then looked at Qin Feng with weird glitters in his eyes.

    Qin Feng could not help but feel his body tense up. It was rather ufortable to be treated as a ¡°peculiar specimen¡± by this mad scientist.

    ¡°Damn, boi! If I haven¡¯t seen it myself, I wouldn¡¯t believe it. You could actually grow so strong in just half a year. I¡¯m starting to regret that I gave you 3 years before trying to acquire you again!¡±

    Qin Feng was able to ascend from C4-tier to B2-tier in 6 months. If given a little more time, he would have reached A-tier too.

    Right now, Qin Feng¡¯s potential was rather promising¡ªin fact, if he reached A-tier, he might actually be able to take on an S-tier!

    By then, would Z be able to have his way with Qin Feng? It might actually be a challenge to do so.

    Qin Feng frowned as he sat next to Bai Li. He patted on her shoulder, trying to calm the white fox down.

    ¡°How can I help you, Mr Z?¡±

    ¡°What? Would it hurt you to say ¡®thank you for saving my life¡¯?¡±

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°Your organization almost killed me back then. So, now that you saved my life, how about we call it even?¡±

    Even though his grudge was from before he was reborn, Qin Feng could not help but still feel bitter about it.

    Z did not bother to check whether Qin Feng was telling the truth and continued on chatting, ¡°A grudge is a grudge. A favor is a favor. They are two separate matters. Now, perhaps you would like to return the favor I did for you first, then seek revenge from me? Hmm? It¡¯s fairer this way.¡±

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°Sure. Tell me what you want. But I have the right to refuse!¡±

 Chapter 735 - Your Greed Knows No Bound

    <h4>Chapter 735: Your Greed Knows No Bound</h4>

    It was not like Qin Feng did not want to repay the favor. However, it had to be at least within his capability. Most importantly, Z was simply too dangerous. Qin Feng probably would not ept whatever Z was going to demand from him.

    ¡°After bringing back the Cinder Pine from your ce thest time, I had another breakthrough in my study. The sess rate of mutation has increased by a lot now. It will definitely suit you!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t ever think about it.¡± Qin Feng¡¯s face looked bleak. As he expected, nothing good woulde out of Z¡¯s mouth.

    Z¡¯s expression did not change after being rejected. He continued to ask, ¡°Then, why don¡¯t you give me some of your blood? I can create a clone easily from that.¡±

    Qin Feng sneered, ¡°Do you think the clone you make would have the same physique as mine? How could a clone bear your vicious injection? Besides, what makes you think I would give you such an important sample?¡±

    It would be easy to clone amoner. However, it was a different story when it came to awakened users. Ability users and ancient warriors had different gic and cellr make-up aspared to normal people. They could not be cloned using the normal means, and the clone would be soulless. These clones would need the originals to imbue part of their consciousness for them to be truly alive.

    As such, Z was not only asking for Qin Feng¡¯s blood but also part of his conscious energy.

    ¡°No to this, no to that. I don¡¯t think you are being sincere at all.¡± Z snorted.

    ¡°At least ask for something that I can really do. Anything about my body is out of the discussion.¡±

    Z nodded and said, ¡°Alright. How about this? Since you could handle a B-tier Cinder Pine previously, I bet you can do the same against an A-tier now that you have grown stronger. I want ten essence cores from an A-tier Cinder Pine.¡±

    Qin Feng rounded his eyes. ¡®This man¡¯s greediness knows no bounds!¡¯

    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t do even such a small favor. If so, 100 B-tier beast emperor Cinder Pines would do, too.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s grim face almost turned into a helplessugh.

    ¡°Z, are you going to wait for me here forever until I get you the essences?¡±

    ¡®100 B-tier beast emperor? Why doesn¡¯t he go annihte the entire Cinder Region?¡¯

    ¡°Come on. I am just maximizing my leverage here. The items I requested would only cost you at most 500 trillion. Am I, an S-tire, not worth that amount?¡±

    Qin Feng sneered, ¡°Not at all. I can only promise you 10.¡±

    ¡°That wouldn¡¯t cut it. At least 90!¡±

    ¡°20!¡±

    ¡°80!¡±

    ¡°You are talking as if the essence would grow like cabbage. Thirty is all I can give you.¡±

    ¡°You can use A-tier essence topensate. Seventy is my minimum!¡±

    They went back and forth and could note to terms. Qin Feng did not want to give in too much and refused to back down when the number reached forty.

    Forty Cinder Pine¡¯s essences were equal to the value of a B-tier beast emperor ability core, which was roughly 200 trillion.

    Of course, any problem that could be solved by using money was not a problem from Qin Feng¡¯s perspective.

    Still, this would be aborious task.

    Though a lot of B-tiers had visited the Cinderst Dimension, not many had sessfully killed a Cinder Pine other than the immature ones.

    In the end, Qin Feng would need to deal with the matter himself but he was rather upied at the moment.

    ¡°I have things to do right now. I will deliver the essence to you once I am done with it.¡±

    ¡°Okay. My experiment can still run for another month. I hope to get the things within a month.¡±

    ¡°Are you kidding me? The monsters are not standing there waiting to be killed. A month? I can only give you one per month. That¡¯s more likely.¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Alright, alright! One per month it is.¡±

    Qin Feng said again, ¡°You will receive the first core two months from now.¡±

    ¡°Now you are getting ahead of yourself. It¡¯s too long for me to wait.¡± Z then changed the topic. ¡°But, from what I heard, you killed a monster called Glutton Leviathan in the East Sea not long ago. I believe you still have the flesh of the monster? Give me some and I will tolerate the two months dy.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face could not be grimmer. He knew Z had him cornered.

    ¡°Fine!¡± Qin Feng said the word grudgingly. He swore he would hang Z up and bash him one day.

    Then, Qin Feng added Z¡¯smunicator contact. This was the first time Qin Feng had added an S-tier, and he never thought it would be the number of his nemesis. How ironic!

    ¡°Okay. Now that we are done, you should get going.¡± Qin Feng wanted Z to leave after handing him some of the Glutton¡¯s flesh.

    ¡°Haha, enough with your hostility. My research is advancing at lightspeed now. Feel free to find me once you think it through.¡± Z left after leaving those words.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face contorted into a grimace. Z was right. In Qin Feng¡¯s memory, the human experiment of mutation had indeed grown rampant around this period.

    He wondered how the future would look like this time, especially with the presence of the Cinderst Dimension and him providing the research materials to Z.

    Against someone as powerful as Z, Qin Feng could onlyply for the time being so that Z would not oppress him. He still did not have enough strength to defy Z.

    But Qin Feng believed such a stance would notst forever.

    ¡°What a terrible guy. Why did he order us around when he could do that easily by himself?¡± Bai Liined sullenly.

    Qin Feng sighed. ¡°It¡¯s normal. True, he may be powerful enough to get things done with little effort. In fact, I believe the reason he appeared in Cinderst City is that he has just visited the Cinderst Dimension.

    The Cinderst Dimension was vast, yet the number of Cinder Pine was rtively scarce. One would need to spend a lot of time searching for a high-tier Cinder Pine.

    ¡°To an S-tier, rather than wasting his own time doing suchborious work, it¡¯s better to let someone else do it for them.¡±

    That was probably what Z was thinking when he willingly helped Qin Feng to deter Eye Devil.

    Qin Feng had seen through Z¡¯s intention when thetter first brought up hunting out of the blue.

    ¡°No matter what, it¡¯s best not to owe him a favor. Otherwise, it would be hard to take him down in the future,¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°I see. But humans always say that there¡¯s never a forever enemy and benefit is always on top of everything. It seems that you, too, have things that you couldn¡¯t let go of.¡±

    Qin Feng rubbed Bai Li¡¯s forehead and said, ¡°I will talk about profit when I am on the same level with him. Right now, I have zero ground to negotiate.¡±

    Bai Li gave it a thought and nodded. ¡°I understand.¡±

    Of course, Qin Feng could coborate with Z now. However, Z could easily manipte him judging by the disproportion of their power. It was better to maintain the rtionship as it was.

    They did not waste any time further on this topic. After all, Z was gone and the terms were set. All Qin Feng had to do was hunt the Cinder Pines and return the favor.

    He had no time to worry about it just yet.

    Qin Feng switched on themunicator and contacted Xue Xingfu.

    ¡°It¡¯s time for you to report on the progress.¡±

 Chapter 736 - Mammoth Funds

    <h4>Chapter 736: Mammoth Funds</h4>

    Inside Qin Feng¡¯s vi at Fengli City.

    ¡°President, what¡¯s with the attack just now? It was no ordinary assault. Is someone trying to take down our organization?¡± Xue Xingfu asked carefully.

    This was probably the first time he felt unrest.

    At the same time, he was also perplexed by the task Qin Feng had given him.

    Qin Feng left about a week ago leaving behind massive amounts of resources. This included the bands of spatial equipment found inside the Glutton¡¯s stomach.

    Qin Feng had asked him to dump them in the market as quickly as possible to raise funds and changed all of them into power credits.

    Xue Xingfu was not concerned at first. But the sudden attack and Qin Feng¡¯s decision to collect funds raised his suspicion. He wondered whether Qin Feng had offended someone dangerous who he could not deal with and had to hide.

    If that were so, then the Fengli Organization as well as the entire North Sea would be in great chaos.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Just an elect from the Amazon Alliance. He is here because I ughtered a group of Dark Coalition members when I was there.¡±

    Not many knew about the news. If he did not publicize it, no one in Huaxia would even know the earth-shattering stuff he had done in Amazon.

    Qin Feng said it absent-mindedly and quickly changed the subject, ¡°How many funds have you gathered so far?¡±

    Seeing Qin Feng being Qin Feng, Xue Xingfu was slightly relieved. In fact, he had zero idea where this Amazon Alliance was.

    ¡®I should go and check it upter.¡¯ Xue Xingfu thought to himself. He then shook off his worry and began to exin to Qin Feng his result thus far.

    ¡°Boss, the number of goods you gave me was simply too vast. I had no choice but to be firing on all cylinders. First, we had a series of advertisements posted on the battle and then offered the spatial stones directly through thework. With our advanced spatial technology, we have set up multiple warehouses in different cities. This allows us to deliver the product to the buyer with minimal dy. Other than that, we have also employed several aircrafts as a mobile auction center that tours from city to city. This past week, we have let go of a good deal of stocks.¡±

    Xue Xingfu passed an ount statement to Qin Feng. It listed all the transactions only up to yesterday midnight. Trades were still ongoing as they spoke.

    Even so, the amount gained was still bewildering.

    Qin Feng would need to focus and scan the long string of numbers with his consciousness to get the general picture.

    ¡°Because it would still take some time topletely clear them off, I have decided to convert part of the money into power credits first. Here¡¯s the first batch.¡±

    Xue Xingfu handed over three spatial equipment. Those were ring-shaped spatial stones. The volume inside each of the stones was about 100 x 100 x 100 meters. They were considered the most spacious among small-scale spatial equipment.

    Right now, the 1,000,000 m3 space inside each of the spatial stones was fully fitted with power credits with no gap left.

    Three rings totaled 3,000,000 m3 power credits!

    How much money was in there?

    One cubic power credit equaled 1 million. In other words, there were 300 billion worth of power credits in these three small rings.

    Converting them tomon money meant that Qin Feng would be carrying 3,000 trillion with him.

    That was an absurd amount of funds.

    Though Qin Feng could easily gain a few hundred trillionpleting a mission at this stage, owning 3,000 trillion of cash flow was still pretty insane. Perhaps some of the A-tiers had also never seen such an amount in their entire life.

    Through years of umtion, B-tiers normally would reach roughly 5-6 trillion worth of assets, while A-tiers would at most amass a few hundred trillion. Shang Han was not joking when shemented that Qin Feng was earning more than she did, and she had said it multiple times.

    Anyone would go crazy obtaining this huge sum of money.

    Understandably, Xue Xingfu was nervous carrying such a huge burden with him. He was relieved when he finally handed out the rings to Qin Feng.

    But very quickly, Qin Feng threw him another pile of goods.

    ¡°These are thetest loot. Deal them out the same way too. I have only one week left. You have to speed up,¡± Qin Feng said.

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s head began to ache when he saw more spatial equipment. Employees allocated to sort the equipment and its contents alone were already up to a thousand people. One piece of equipment among therge pile would be enough to turn an employee¡¯s fortune overnight. However, no one dared to touch Qin Feng¡¯s assets.

    ¡°More? President, what are you nning to do?¡± Xue Xingfu asked.

    ¡°Nothing much. I am going to an auction.¡±

    Xue Xingfu was first stunned, then his eyes beamed with excitement. ¡°Dusk Dragon Event!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded.

    Xue Xingfu rubbed his hand and asked, ¡°Boss, you see... Am I...¡±

    Qin Feng nced at him and said, ¡°I will bring you when you are a B-tier.¡±

    Xue Xingfu was immediately muted. He was a genius in business management but a sloth in self-investment. He did change after meeting Qin Feng and had trained harder since, yet B-tier was still far beyond his reach.

    ¡°I have faith in you. Right now, I am not powerful enough to scare people off with my name alone. When I reach that height one day in the future, you will be free to go wherever you like.¡±

    Strength required time to build up.

    Afterward, Qin Feng asked about the overall operation of the organization. Though Xue Xingfu¡¯s business instinct was impable, Qin Feng could still provide Xue Xingfu useful insight using his memory of the future. This would prevent thetter from taking the wrong path with false promises.

    But the more he learned about the business, the more he was impressed by Xue Xingfu. He was especially blown away by the new battle business model created by Xue Xingfu. Wanzong had attempted the same idea before but logistic centering on Sky Pigeon posed a lot of risk and uncertainty. More importantly, the distance that a Sky Pigeon could travel was very limited.

    In contrast, Fengli used their one-and-only space jump technology to deliver the goods, which was far quicker and entirely safe.

    ¡°Sigh. We have just offended Public Capital not long ago, and now we are stepping on Wanzong¡¯s tail.¡± Qin Feng shook his head whileughing bitterly. Sometimes, being too outstanding was not entirely a good thing.

    ¡°President, then should we tone it down a little? Honestly, the things we auction out alle from the spatial equipment you have collected. This is a capital-less business for us either way. If we sell it at a discounted price, we would still earn a ton. However, this will inevitably displease ourpetitors,¡± Xue Xingfu said, ¡°Wanzong¡¯s general manager stationed in Fengli almost fainted out of anger when he knew what we were doing.¡±

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows. Wanzong¡¯s chief was unlike those from the Public Capital. He was a true S-tier.

    An idea came into Qin Feng¡¯s mind that lightened up his mood. He grinned and said, ¡°Contact Wanzong and tell them we are willing to sell them the goods at cost price.¡±

    Xue Xingfu had been selling them at a discounted price anyway. If Wanzong said yes to the offer, then this would be a win-win situation.

 Chapter 737 - A Win-Win Trade

    <h4>Chapter 737: A Win-Win Trade</h4>

    Though Xue Xingfu was a little reluctant to hand over the profit this easily to Wanzong, he believed Qin Feng¡¯s decision was for the greater good.

    The Dusk Dragon Event was going to offer a lot of unthinkable treasures. If Qin Feng could bring back a rare thing or two from the auction, it would benefit Fengli in the long run.

    ¡°Alright, I will contact them immediately.¡±

    Although Xue Xingfu had not been on good terms with the people from Wanzong recently, they were all businessmen, after all.

    Despite the conflict, theirmunication with each other was never truly cut off. On one hand, they relied on each other for information exchanged. On the other hand, they needed to keep in touch with what the other was up to recently. Exchanges betweenrge corporations involved a lot of mind games.

    With his broad connection, Xue Xingfu managed to contact more than ten representatives from the Wanzong side. However, none of them could take Xue Xingfu¡¯s offer.

    The amount of product Xue Xingfu had packaged together was simply too much.

    As such, these representatives needed to refer to their upper echelon. After the information was passed up several levels, finally an A-tier from Wanzong expressed his interest and wished to examine the goods.

    Qin Feng was beside Xue Xingfu during the back and forth and nodded when he heard the reply. He said, ¡°Tell him toe to Fengli City. I will meet him personally.¡±

    ¡°Noted!¡± Xue Xingfu quickly made the appointment. Both sides agreed to meet up on that very night.

    The person who arrived at Fengli City was someone Qin Feng knew. His name was Zong Qianli, the person in charge of Wanzong¡¯s business in the entire north region. His influence in the corporation was probably second only to their S-tier president, who was his father.

    Zong Qianli was at least fifty years old and above. Being an A-tier user, he could easily change his outlook with cosmetic herbs. He appeared a mature figure in his early thirties.

    Qin Feng walked up to him and shook his hand.

    ¡°Here is the CEO of my Fengli Organization, Xue Xingfu.¡±

    Xue Xingfu was only a D-tier but he showed no fear in front of Zong Qianli. Instead, the spirit in his eyes beamed enthusiastically. His hair was erected as if he was ready to bite off arge chunk from his opponent¡¯s body.

    ¡°Mr. Xue is very proactive recently, as I have heard. Honestly, if I don¡¯t get your call, we would probably suspect that Fengli is nning to take us down.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha! How could that ever happen when Wanzong has someone like Mr. Zong? It¡¯s still too early for Fengli to be Wanzong¡¯spetitor.¡± The eyes on Xue Xingfu¡¯s face narrowed as he put on a harmless grin.

    However, that was only on the outside. Xue Xingfu was destined to be one of the most sessful businessmen in the future. He would never be harmless.

    This here was a man who could scrape you clean, and you might still be willing to thank him.

    Qin Feng knew exactly what Xue Xingfu would be, while Zong Qianli was clearly intrigued by the two extraordinary men standing in front of him.

    In this current world, there were a lot ofbatants and little businessmen.

    Yet right now he was looking at an umonbination of an outstanding elect and a cunning businessman. It was really hard to guess how such abo would fare in the future.

    ¡°Haha, so you are implying that Fengli would indeed be ourpetitor in the future? Then perhaps we should be on guard.¡±

    ¡°Please don¡¯t be. You know I didn¡¯t mean that. We are now coborating for a win-win situation. So, let¡¯s be honest with each other.¡± The mind game had begun.

    They conversed cheerfully as if they had known each other for more than ten years. Xue Xingfu was undoubtedly a master of negotiation.

    Even though Xue Xingfu was the one mediating the conversation, Qin Feng had not been left out. Zong Qianli was eager to know about him too.

    ¡°I believe these loots were gained by Mr. Qin from looting the Dark Coalition organizations based near the Amazon, right?¡±

    Qin Feng was taken aback but remained calm on the outside. Wanzong as a business organization was indeed well-informed. He had only been back from the Amazon for less than a day. Even Shang Han knew little about his experience there, but Wanzong seemed to have grasped most of the info.

    He nodded and answered firmly, ¡°Yes. They are filthy rich. I believe you will be pleased with the things I have brought back.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s hard to believe. What a brilliant young man you are.¡±

    ¡°You are ttering me. This is nothing worth boasting about.¡±

    ¡°No, no, this is no ttery. I know you are the real deal. Do you mind sharing with me how you defeated so many high-rank users?¡±

    ¡°I would say luck ys a huge role. They have beencking sharpness and vignce for a long time. That¡¯s why my ambush was so effective.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s all luck. I know you fought your way into the most dangerous city in the Amazon Alliance.¡±

    ¡°About that. I just happened to pass by the city. I had no idea then. Again, lucky, as I said.¡±

    Their exchanges yielded little meaning. Actually, Zong Qianli wanted to find out more about Qin Feng¡¯s strength and ability through the conversation. This would be useful for his organization in the future.

    Yet, Zong Qianli realized he could draw nothing useful out of Qin Feng¡¯s mouth. Qin Feng might be all smiles and not as shrewd as Xue Xingfu, but his mouth was equally airtight.

    ¡®This Qin Feng is pretty sly too. Great, not as cunning, but still a fox, like Xue Xingfu nevertheless.¡¯ Zong Qianli knew he would not get more than he already knew at this point. Qin Feng¡¯s true strength was still a mystery.

    He understood that Qin Feng was a B-tier and that was all. The young president of Fengli did not leak even a tiny bit of his power all this while sitting in front of the A-tier Zong Qianli.

    In the end, Zong Qianli finally got some useful information.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, if I guess right, you n to attend the Dusk Dragon, right?¡± Zong Qianli asked using a surprised tone.

    The Dusk Dragon Event indeed was a ce full of treasures. But the risk was too high. He never thought Qin Feng would want to attend such a dangerous asion.

    Qin Feng had no intention to hide this from him and admitted straightforwardly, ¡°Yea. That¡¯s why I needed the funds. Mr. Xue over here has already prepared some for me. However, the more the better. Besides, we have no doubt brought some inconveniences to Wanzong earlier. I see this as an opportunity for us to mend our rtionship and achieve a win-win. So, please don¡¯t be too harsh in shing the priceter, Mr. Zong.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha. I wouldn¡¯t do such a thing!¡± Zong Qianli replied with a cold smile.

    ¡°That would be the best. Why don¡¯t we go and check out the stocks first? Mr. Zong, this way!¡± Xue Xingfu chipped in.

    Xue Xingfu led the way and brought Zong Qianli to the sorting warehouse. Everything Qin Feng had gathered on this trip had been moved there.

    When they arrived, all the items were being sorted out through different tunnels and evaluated at the end of the line. Other than some of the erratic items with unknown functions, most of these things that once belonged to an A-tier offered immense value.

    After that, it was time for the heated negotiation.

    Qin Feng followed them to back Xue Xingfu so that Zong Qianli could not overwhelm Xue Xingfu with the imposing A-tier aura of his.

    Their negotiationsted for seven hours straight. The deal was finally closed at 1,000 trillion.

    If the news of Qin Feng having a vast sum of power credits broke out, even an S-tier would be intrigued.

    Moreover, he was heading to the most treacherous ce on Earth¡ªthe ck Citadel!

 Chapter 738 - To the Dark Citadel

    <h4>Chapter 738: To the Dark Citadel</h4>

    The Dark Citadel was situated on an ind near the South Sea not too far from Huaxia.

    The ind was connected to the maind with a heavily guarded bridge. There was hardly any way to bypass the garrison and smuggle into the ind.

    More importantly, if one was caught entering the ind without permission, there was only one result that awaited¡ªa miserable death.

    Qin Feng did not really hide his desire to visit the Dark Citadel. Most of his cadre inside Fengli was informed, and now even Zong Qianli was told. However, Shang Han probably had no idea. She would definitely stop Qin Feng from going if she finds out.

    The Dark Citadel was full of unthinkable threats.

    Qin Feng did not rest for long. He departed quietly with Bai Li the next night.

    It was a clear night. The air was warm and damp.

    The sea breeze during this time was different from other seasons.

    Bai Li seemed to enjoy such scenery. She rxed with one hand holding on to the small fox mask on her face.

    Qin Feng by her side was wearing the same set of masks. His mask was the shape of a ck fox.

    They were currently queuing in front of the entrance of the Dark Citadel. The bridge was jam-packed with cars.

    The citadel would be bustling with guests around this time every year. Members of the Dark Coalition hidden in Huaxia would tacitly emerge here to join the Dusk Dragon Event.

    To most Dark Coalition organizations, the auction was only a side event. They were usually more eager about the appropriation meeting held after that.

    If two sides had an unsolvable conflict involving the B-tiers, then they would normally resolve it in this time and ce.

    Even if the negotiation were to break down, they coulde down with thest resort¡ªfight to the death. A problem would no longer be a problem when one of the conflicted parties was dead.

    Qin Feng¡¯s hovercraft finally reached the gate.

    A B5-tier guard stood there at the entrance. With such a reliable guard, even an A-tier could not have forced their way through.

    ¡°Which faction are you from?¡± The person asked and measured both of them.

    Qin Feng acted differently from his usual self.

    He was emitting B2-tier beast emperor aura. Such an imposing presence posed enormous pressure to anyone facing him.

    Besides, he had just ughtered arge band of criminals in the Amazon Alliance. A blood scent found only on a person who had killed numerous times oozed out from his body. An aptitude user with sharp consciousness could catch it easily.

    Hence, the guard was startled when he met eyes with Qin Feng for the first time.

    ¡°I am joining on my own.¡± Qin Feng camouged his voice into a deeper tone and threw a bag to the guard.

    The bag was quite heavy. There were exactly 2,000 power credits inside.

    When Qin Feng entered the City of Death, it only cost him 10,000 per person. He paid only 20 power credits then and now the entrance fees were a hundred times that.

    The Dark Citadel was where the true fighters were found.

    ¡°Give me two badges for visitors,¡± Qin Feng said.

    The man took a look inside the bag and could tell that the amount was right. He nodded. ¡°Sure. You know the rules in there?¡±

    ¡°Yea.¡± Qin Feng answered straightforwardly.

    After that, the person gave Qin Feng two visitor badges. Qin Feng did not put on his B-tier aptitude user badge since it would be an act of provocation. He and Bai Li pinned the visitor badge on their chest.

    Their hovercraft was promptly given the green light afterward.

    The fees would not be that high if one was entering as a member of a certain faction. More so, some infamous individuals could drive straight in simply by providing their names.

    However, on such a unique asion, there were actually ample members of the Huaxia Alliance attending the auction too. Participants in masks usually belonged to this group.

    Though sarcastic, members from the Huaxia Alliance were some of the most generous contributors to the Dusk Dragon Event every year.

    Qin Feng¡¯s hovercraft sped across the bridge and soon arrived at the well-known Dark Citadel.

    This was the paradise of crime, an ind second only to hell.

    ¡°We have to be careful in the next few days.¡± Qin Feng steered his hovercraft cautiously and stopped in front of a normal hotel. But at such times, even the most unremarkable hotel might have one or two A-tiers living inside. It would be rather unfortunate if one identally offended a quick-tempered powerful user during the stay.

    Qin Feng was not afraid of anyone but this was, after all, a city entirely under the Dark Coalition¡¯s control. The Amazon Alliance was considered a peaceful ce whenpared to the Dark Citadel.

    It would be shocking to find seven A-tiers in the Amazon Alliance but Qin Feng would not be surprised if there were seventy A-tiers around him now.

    They asked for a room and settled in without attracting much attention.

    Qin Feng connected to the citywork with his brand-newmunicator and checked thetest information on it.

    [The Dusk Dragon Auction would be held two days from now.]

    [The first round of auction offers ten god weapons and S-tier items.]

    [The Dusk Dragon Party has already begun!]

    [In seven days, the spatial waymark to Hell Ind would be opened. The tickets are on sale now.]

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were fixated on thest line.

    Hell Ind was the most attractive ce in this Dark Citadel.

    It was a stable dimension and would open at a fixed time every year. The dimension had gone on for more than ten years. The beasts there were perilous, with B-tier beast kings and beast emperors the most frequent urrences.

    For that reason, it served as the perfect ce to hunt for B-tier beast cores for Bai Li¡¯s consumption.

    At the same time, Qin Feng would progress quickly there too.

    It killed two birds with one stone.

    Qin Feng bought the ticket without any hesitation. The ticket price was ludicrous with each selling at 100 million power credits.

    Without question, this price was set for A-tiers. B-tier ability users were free to buy it too but nobody would collect their body if they were killed there.

    Of course, an A-tier was allowed to bring 10panions inside. As such, a lot of B-tiers would like to test their luck and hop on. They would be charged less at 10 million power credits going in with an A-tier. This pricing was simr to what Qin Feng charged for the Cinderst Dimension.

    The ticket was directly linked to themunicator. If the owner of themunicator were killed, his or hermunicator could be used by someone else to enter the ind.

    Thus, those who were unable to fork out the money would try to steal or rob themunicator, which led to battles of different scales inside the city.

    Qin Feng did not want any trouble so he did not step out of the hotel in the next two days.

    Despite staying in, he remained alert with the development and news around the city.

    On the third day after his arrival, the Dusk Dragon Auction had officially begun.

 Chapter 739 - Seeing Riches Causes Evil Thoughts

    <h4>Chapter 739: Seeing Riches Causes Evil Thoughts</h4>

    That day, Qin Feng finally stepped out of the hotel with Bai Li to head toward thergest shoppingplex in the Dark Citadel.

    The auction was like a massive arena fight, it was nothing short of a grand event.

    Qin Feng had previously bought a ticket but it would take more than just that to enter the Dusk Dragon Auction.

    ¡°Sir, the Dusk Dragon Auction stiptes that verification is necessary in order for entry. Please present your spatial ring, this device I have would be able to detect the amount of value contained inside your spatial rune equipment!¡±

    ¡°Sure!¡±

    Qin Feng took off the spatial rune ring from his hand and handed it over to the woman who was doing the verifications. With a quick wave of the device she had a number appeared.

    The woman was surprised then gently returned the ring to Qin Feng. Not only that, her voice had gotten much sweeter!

    ¡°Honored guest, thank you for your cooperation. In order to express our gratitude we specially prepared a private room to provide you with unique services. Here is your number card!¡±

    Qin Feng naturally epted it and nodded.

    Things were going as he expected.

    The Dusk Dragon Auction had been held for a very long time now, so much so that it had established its own method of operation. If someone showed that they had more than 10 billion credits they would receive a private room.

    The environment of this private room upheld secrecy, which was exactly something that Qin Feng appreciated.

    Besides that, he only took out a ring and that was already worth 100 billion power credits!

    He flipped over the number card and learned that his number was 1-85!

    In the Dusk Dragon Auction, the centermost point was the auction table surrounded by auctioneer seats which could hold up to a hundred thousand people altogether.

    That was surrounded by a ring of one hundred rooms that stacked up to six levels!

    1-85 meant that his ce was on the first level, regardless of distance or level, this was a decent spot to be.

    However, when Qin Feng entered, an aptitude user that entered before him was suddenly dissatisfied!

    ¡°What the heck? Howe he gets a private room but I don¡¯t? Are you looking down on me?¡±

    This aptitude user was pretty strong, ranking around A2-tier, but he seemed a bit unkempt as if he had just wandered out of some backwater area.

    Qin Feng gave the person a nce then chose to ignore him. He had never seen this aptitude user before.

    Either they had never interacted before or that this person had died long before Qin Feng became famous!

    Maybe the person died while on Hell Ind!

    Since he was looking at someone who should not be alive, there was no point in paying him any heed.

    When Qin Feng turned to ignore the aptitude user, the person would not ept that. Just when Qin Feng was about to walk away, he moved in front of him to intercept.

    ¡°Boy, you better show some damn respect, did you not hear me?¡± The aptitude user said in a serious tone.

    Qin Feng stopped and the corner of his mouth crooked up into a cold smirk. ¡°The people who¡¯d force me to show respect haven¡¯t been born yet!¡±

    ¡°Then, today I¡¯ll be the one to make you kneel!¡±

    Saying that, the ancient warrior swung at him.

    Qin Feng raised his hand, pouring internal force into his fist before it crashed into the other¡¯s fist.

    Neither of them unleashed their aura, neither did they strike out with terrifying power that would be enough to affect their surroundings.

    This punch was just a test.

    Of course, in the eyes of the ancient warrior, even if this was just a test, there was a chance he could kill Qin Feng!

    The moment the two fists met, they unleashed their internal force upon the point of impact!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force broke through the other¡¯s internal force and entered his hand.

    In an instant, he ripped apart the other¡¯s meridians and broke his hand¡¯s bones!

    With no internal force to protect it, the body was very fragile!

    ¡°Aaah!¡±

    The A-tier aptitude user cried out, but not just that, with just one punch from Qin Feng he was sent flying back four to five meters.

    He wanted to hold his hand but realized that the hand was misshapen. Its meridians had been broken and his bones fractured into pieces.

    Ever since he made a name for himself, he had never received injuries. Not only was he injured today, he was also injured by a young person who was supposedly B-tier.

    It was hard to believe that this could happen.

    Just when he was about to unleash his strength and try to kill Qin Feng, the members of the Dusk Dragon Auction had already appeared!

    This neer was an A-tier aptitude user and brought along several B-tiers. The person was something of a general in the Dark Citadel ; a force to be reckoned with; and functioned as a retainer.

    ¡°Exin to me what just happened?¡± The person asked in a deep voice.

    The verificationdy from before approached and began to exin the entire thing in a hushed tone, but there was no doubt that she was more biased toward Qin Feng.

    The A-tier general nced at the person who caused this fuss then at Qin Feng before smirking.

    ¡°There¡¯s always someone causing some kind of trouble during the Dusk Dragon Auction. I¡¯ll give you two options. Turn away and leave immediately, but be rest assured the Dusk Dragon Auction won¡¯t forget this.¡±

    Having said that, the A-tier general let out a spine-chilling bark ofughter.

    The person that made a fuss knew that he was not this general¡¯s match but when he heard that the Dusk Dragon Auction would not forget about it his heart skipped a beat.

    Then the general added, ¡°The second choice is to stop f*cking about and go to where you¡¯re supposed to go! If you have any problems with that, take that nonsense outside!¡±

    This meant that the other person should just take his seat at the auctioneer¡¯s ce instead of trying to fight Qin Feng for his private room.

    The general figured that this A-tier saw that Qin Feng had a weaker level but was carrying a lot of money. Seeing riches caused evil thoughts!

    Unexpectedly, he mmed right into a metal wall.

    The general turned his attention to Qin Feng with an inquisitive gaze and asked, ¡°Honored guest, what do you think?¡±

    Qin Feng replied, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just solve everything? Why bother asking what I think?¡±

    This general was only trying to smooth things over and Qin Feng could naturally see that so he was not bothered. This issue was considered temporarily resolved unless he was able to kill that person with his bare hands.

    He no longer cared about how things would proceed and began to leave, grabbing Bai Li¡¯s hand as he moved on.

    When the ancient warrior saw Qin Feng¡¯s behavior he felt the need to rush at the boy and kill him.

    However, he managed to restrain himself and growled, ¡°I suggest you never leave this ce, because the moment you step out of here I will tear you apart!¡±

    After saying that, the man turned around and left.

    Qin Feng did not take the man¡¯s threat to heart. After arriving at his private room, he found a booklet on his table. These kinds of things were only provided inside VIP rooms such as the one he was in.

    Among this catalogue were the ten mysterious divine treasures that he had heard about!

    He looked through the list and knew that there was only a small part of these items that were actually from other nes or realms!

    Most of these were loot obtained from killing other people!

    At that moment, Qin Feng suddenly saw something.

    ¡°They even have this one too!¡±

 Chapter 740 - S-Rank Item

    <h4>Chapter 740: S-Rank Item</h4>

    Although god armaments were a rarity, so long as something¡¯s power far surpassed the beast emperors of the same rank then those items could be counted as god armaments.

    For example, the Sacred Armor that Qin Feng wore was in fact only a B-tier god armor while the Verdant Emperor Saber was a B-tier super god weapon. Besides, it had been melded with some S-tier materials, it could still develop further. At that time, Qin Feng would have to hunt down A-tier ultra beasts!

    However, what appeared in front of Qin Feng was an S-tier item. More than that, it was something that he could use.

    ¡°The Sacred Water Stone!¡± Qin Feng looked at the above starting price and it was a full 10 billion power credits. It was unknown how much its buyout price was. This was a very attractive item for any water ability user.

    Something like that was the equivalent of the Hellstone and the Sacred me Meteor.

    After losing both Sacred Stones, Qin Feng was not at his full strength. It was only because of his previous training and step by step umtion of power that it made others see him as invincible.

    When it came to S-tiers however, he had no aces up his sleeve!

    ¡°I¡¯ll definitely have to seize this Sacred Water Stone!¡± Qin Feng now had an objective.

    After that he looked through the catalogue about the god armaments and eventually learned that none of them grabbed his interest as much as the Sacred Water Stone, or that they were entirely useless to him. He also looked through for some A-tier materials that he found were suitable to upgrade the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    As he continued the browse, the auction had begun!

    ¡°Wee to all distinguished aptitude users to the annual Dusk Dragon Auction!¡±

    ¡°Next, we¡¯ll be doing a warm-up round and carry out the first round ofrge scale auctioning! Roll the flick!¡±

    ¡°Now, the first wave of 100 items are officially on sale. With a 10 minute countdown, we will now begin the auction!¡±

    At this time, a group of women d in alluring outfits walked onto the auction stage.

    It was said before that the Dusk Dragon Auction was a lot like an arena, this ce wasrge!

    These women all held trays in their hands, taking their respective positions before lifting the red cloth covering these trays to reveal the rune equipment within. As the rune equipment contents were revealed, their auras burst forth.

    These were all for auction!

    Qin Feng found a virtual projection in front of him. Themunicator could be easily connected to it, allowing him to scroll through the hundred items. It gave him a clear view of what each item was, including their description. These items were scanned thoroughly with consciousness before people could bid on them.

    The first batch of 100 items were all materials of C-tier beast kings and above, there were even five beast emperor materials.

    These materials naturally ranged from a few million credits to tens of millions of credits.

    For Qin Feng, this was no big deal.

    However, for other B-tiers, these things definitely had value. For a B-tier to hunt down a C-tier beast king, such a task required a lot of effort. If they needed such things and could directly buy them then it would be much more worthwhile.

    Soon, all these materials were quickly sold out!

    ¡°10 minutes are up, onward with the next batch for auction!¡±

    The auctioneer jabbered out the items¡¯ names very quickly!

    After the third time, the auction had been going on for half an hour. People¡¯s enthusiasm had cooled a little, which was obviously something the auctioneer did not want to see.

    As an experienced auctioneer, how could there not be something to spice things up?

    ¡°Next up, please take a look at our first god weapon!¡±

    This first weapon also had quite a bit of history to it.

    What appeared in front of everyone was a scimitar.

    The weapon¡¯s de seemed to be made out of gold, dazzling those who stared directly at it.

    Qin Feng saw the scimitar and immediately blurted out its name.

    ¡°The Golden Fury Scimitar!¡±

    God weapons all had their own origins. While it was unknown who made some of them, whoever could master the use of these weapons would live on in legend.

    This was a weapon that once belonged to a famous A-tier general from the Southern Region. Unfortunately, this A-tier general died about a year ago!

    After the death of a powerful A-tier, his descendants were unable to inherit the items he left behind. Unless they were extremely powerful, they would not be able to use these items. It was possible that one of them decided to sell the weapon.

    Regardless, the moment the treasure appeared it kicked up a stir among everyone present!

    ¡°Now, the bidding starts at 3 billion credits and each price increase must at least be 100 million credits! Begin auction!¡±

    There were too many people and the big screen began to roll through the numbers as people cast their bids, rapidly increasing in numbers.

    In just one minute, the bid had reached up to 30 billion!

    ¡°Alright, the VIP in the VIP room 3-66 bids 30.5 billion credits!¡±

    ¡°VIP 10-488 bids 30.6 billion!¡±

    ¡°Number 6-13...¡±

    As people continued to bid, the scimitar eventually fell into the possession of someone in a private room with the final bid being 36.5 billion.

    Although the price was much higher than its bidding price, even so that kind of amount would not necessarily someone a god weapon. These were things that were always sought after!

    After the emergence of a god weapon, there was a rise in overall enthusiasm for the auction. The auctioneer unleashed the next batch, but it was obvious that the tier had been brought down to B-tier!

    Things continued forward and by the third hour of the auction, three god weapons had been auctioned and then the A-tier ultra beast materials finally showed up!

    Among these materials, there were mostly beast general and beast king materials. Only 5% were beast emperor materials.

    When these materials were disyed, the wild aura that they unleashed made the B-tiers sitting in the front dizzy and almost made a fool out of them.

    Especially the head of a Giant Boar Emperor which looked terrifying even when it was dead. Its massive head was three stories tall and its teeth jutted out from its lower jaws like spears, ready to pierce someone at any time.

    A-tier beast king materials had the starting bid of 10 billion credits, when converted into normal currency that would be 100 trillion which was a clear sign of how terrifying that value was.

    At this point, most of the B-tiers did not try to bid. It was unknown how many A-tiers were present at the auction but thepetition was not very intensepared to the previous auctions.

    In fact, many of them were sold off at surprisingly lower prices.

    Qin Feng bid for some beast king materials as well as some feathers from a zing Inferno Phoenix Emperor, which only cost less than 2 million credits.

    In the auctions of materials, there were even such things as unsessful auctions!

    At this time, everyone knew that they were about to enter today¡¯s highlight!

    There were seven god weapons left, as well as some special S-tier materials and even mystery items.

    Qin Feng did not pay attention to the previous events but he started to be more alert when the things he wanted were rolled in.

    ¡°Distinguished guests, the next item for auction is the Sacred Water Stone which contains countless numbers of water elemental runes. It can increase the power of water ability users by ten fold...¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness swept across the Sacred Water Stone. It looked smaller than the one that Shang Han gave to him before. It was no more than the size of a pebble, but the aura of water runes around was immensely thick.

 Chapter 741 - Seizing the Sacred Water Stone

    <h4>Chapter 741: Seizing the Sacred Water Stone</h4>

    Following the auctioneer¡¯s disy, the sacred stone was revealed from its sealed crystal box. Blue runes suddenly floated up into the air, not only that, they began to rapidly increase in number as the air around them condensed into water. From the looks of things, it was going to cause a huge wave!

    The auctioneer quickly closed the crystal box!

    This crystal box seemed to have a unique function, the sacred stone¡¯s runes gradually disappeared as they quietly floated back into it.

    This thing was not a fake!

    Such a disy only made people yearn for the effects after they seeded in bidding for it!

    ¡°Now, the auction for the Sacred Water Stone will begin. The starting price is 10 billion credits. Following price increases must at least be 100 million credits. Begin!¡±

    At this time the big screen pulsed with a series of numbers.

    Qin Feng saw the numbers jump up one by one and entered a number without hesitation.

    ¡°30 billion!¡±

    At this time, the others who were keying in their bids were issued with a notification that said,

    [The price you entered is lower than the current bidding price!]

    Just when they lowered their heads to key in their bids, the number on the screen had changed to 30 billion!

    ¡°A VIP room person again!¡±

    ¡°How rich and tyrannical, the auction just began and they¡¯re putting it at such a high price already!¡±

    ¡°No, this Sacred Water Stone is very important to me! I will not lose!¡±

    These people gritted their teeth and raised their bids!

    Upon seeing what they were doing, Qin Feng entered a number again.

    He did not want to waste time andpete with them 100 million by 100 million. For Qin Feng, all that was left were the credits.

    ¡°50 billion!¡±

    The price jumped up again by huge margin!

    At this point, most people would have given up when they saw that price!

    The auctioneer finally opened his mouth and said excitedly, ¡°Now, the guest from VIP Room 1-85 has bid for 50 billion. The going price is 50 billion, 50 billion, do we have anyone else?¡±

    A trace of hatred shed in the eyes of a man in the normal seating area.

    This person was Liu Hang, who had a confrontation with Qin Feng from before! Liu Hang was an A-tier and the head of an ancient martial arts family. However, because his family practiced dark martial arts they stayed away from the general poption and lived in seclusion. Due to not going out much, he rarely interacted with other A-tiers and having been the head of his family for so long he had developed a superiorityplex.

    When he came here, even though he knew that there were many strong people present he was not afraid of anyone. What he did not expect was some B-tier overwhelming him.

    Liu Hang was naturally unhappy, but he did not expect this B-tier to be such a difficult obstacle.

    ¡°That number. Isn¡¯t it that kid from before? I¡¯ll make you bleed!¡± Liu Hang recognized Qin Feng¡¯s room number at once.

    He raised a trembling injured hand and keyed in his bid!

    ¡°50.1 billion! Someone has bid 50.1 billion out of nowhere!¡± The auctioneer announced.

    ¡°VIP 1-85 raised their bid again to 51 billion!¡±

    ¡°51.1 billion!¡±

    ¡°Do we have more bids?¡±

    Qin Feng increased the price several times, raising it by 1 billion credits one at a time, after a few rounds the price had reached up to 57 billion credits!

    At the same time, Liu Hang also added 100 million yuan each time, raising the price that Qin Feng had to bid.

    ¡°57.1 billion! Number 7126 has bid for 57.1 billion!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned and his consciousness swept toward that seat. When number 7126¡¯s person fell into his line of sight he realized that it was the person who was causing trouble earlier.

    Looks like that guy had more money than he had sense.

    57.1 billion was not Qin Feng¡¯s limit, but the other one, an ancient warrior, would not need the Sacred Water Stone. Thinking of this, Qin Feng chuckled coldly and actually stopped adding to the price.

    ¡°57.1 billion, is there anyone else to increase the price? Nobody?¡± The auctioneer looked in the direction of VIP room 1-85. There were others who tried to peek in with their consciousness but the room was shielded against such acts. Nobody knew what Qin Feng was thinking and gave up after their attempted scan.

    The numbers on the screen did not scroll and it fell into a 30 second countdown.

    ¡°Alright. 57.1 billion going once!¡±

    The countdown reached 20 seconds.

    ¡°57.1 billion going twice!¡±

    Countdown, 10, 9, 8...

    Liu Hang was beginning to break out into cold sweat. The truth was that he did not have so much money on him, at most he had 40 billion, which was all of his belongings. He was only bidding to drive up the price, but now he realized that this farce was going to end in a tragedy!

    He was just asking for trouble!

    ¡°57.1 billion going thri-¡±

    The countdown had almost reached 1 but at that moment, the numbers on the big screen jumped.

    57.2 billion!

    It was obvious that Qin Feng had added the sum at the end.

    ¡°Phew!¡± Liu Hang let out a sigh, his heart almost leapt out of his throat but he was able to recollect himself and leaned back in his seat. His face was pale with fright.

    Fortunately the other party added money to the bid or else the result would have been unthinkable.

    Although Liu Hang did not hold anyone with regard he knew about the horror of the Dusk Dragon Auction. If he could not pay up, he would have to pay with his life.

    In fact, he understood that Qin Feng really wanted this item and this time he was only trying to scare him.

    But who would be able to guarantee that Qin Feng would be able to continue bidding?

    Liu Hang did not dare to try to test that again!

    As such, withoutpetition, the bid was set at 57.2 billion!

    Qin Feng had won the auction for the Sacred Water Stone.

    When the Sacred Water Stone was sent over, another item was taken out to be auctioned. While everyone was paying attention to that auction, someone appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s private room!

    It was the general from before that handled the scuffle between Liu Hang and Qin Feng.

    ¡°Congrattions on getting the auctioned item, Sir. You can have a look at it!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, took the crystal box and opened it.

    The Sacred Water Stone dropped into Qin Feng¡¯s hand, but with his consciousness suppressing it, it did not try to release a tidal wave like before. All of the runes were blocked inside the stone as if they were unable toe out.

    His consciousness was still able to sense that there were countless runes in it!

    Although this sacred stone was not as big as the ones that Qin Feng previously owned, it seemed to bear some more spirituality.

    ¡°Indeed, this is something I need!¡± Qin Feng nodded and handed a spatial ring to the general of the Dusk Dragon Auction!

    The money within was exactly 57.2 credits!

    As for the spatial rune equipment, it might as well be a gift. Whenpared to an S-tier item, that ring was nothing!

    When the general saw the money his eyes lit up and saw that Qin Feng¡¯s expression did not look reluctant before saying, ¡°Thank you distinguished guest for your patronage, if you are not in a hurry then perhaps you can wait for a moment. There will be a mysterious gift being offered at the end, it might be something you need as well!¡±

    Qin Feng raised a brow, a mysterious gift?

    That item was not recorded in the catalogue, but it was written at the top that there would be an elite grade treasure, it was unclear what it was!

    Originally, Qin Feng nned to leave after he had gotten the Sacred Water Stone. Now that he was told by the general, he was a little intrigued!

 Chapter 742 - A Mysterious Gift

    <h4>Chapter 742: A Mysterious Gift</h4>

    Later on, another line of god weapons were auctioned along with some high-tier materials. However, there were very few of them which were suitable for Qin Feng.

    He also no longer tried to bid.

    Of course, everything that was being auctioned were high quality objects, the one that stood out above the rest was the A-tier god weapon.

    It was a dagger that was auctioned for a high price of 135 billion in the end!

    Moreover, the person who won the bid was still in the audience. He had a bright expression on his face that was abination of excitement and satisfaction. After leaving his seat, he went backstage.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness fell on the other and recalled something about that aura.

    ¡°Is that him? Guan Jinhau!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at the man¡¯s seemingly young face. He did not look too old and must only be in his forties. For a type of person to be able to reach A-tier before the age of sixty would mean that he was definitely some level of genius.

    Not only that, this person altered the Spectre Motion Steps and sessfully developed the most powerful S-tier qinggong, the Phantom Shift!

    Based on the timing, the man had already seeded!

    Guan Jinhau had incredible potential, and he was known as one of the strongest killers by the Human Alliance.

    Since he was someone who killed, he kept his identity a secret. The face that he showed today might not be the same face that he would show the next time!

    The reason why Qin Feng knew that the man was here was because of the dagger in Guan Jinhau¡¯s hand.

    That dagger was very powerful for a god weapon. After Guan Jinhau obtained the dagger he went to the Philippines Alliance and sessfully assassinated an S-tier aptitude user with that dagger, breaking through their internal force shield!

    This event had terrible consequences. As a result, it made Guan Jinhau famous after that moment and people became familiar with his S-tier move, Phantom Shift.

    It was the same deal as Asteroid Assimtion, it was a dark martial art.

    Without Asteroid Assimtion, Liu Meng would not have be the demon that he was.

    Without Phantom Shift, Guan Jinhau would have never assassinated S-tier people.

    After Qin Feng traded the Glittering Gold Sand with Shang Han, he was offered three different martial arts training manuals but none of them were useful to him. At that point, the first thing that came to his mind was the Phantom Shift.

    That was because Qin Feng learned the Spectre Motion Steps at the start and was nning on improving it, but after he learned the Dragon Steps, he was not bothered anymore.

    Now that Qin Feng continued to get stronger, Dragon Steps would not be enough for him to keep up with himself.

    The Phantom Shift? That would be a better choice!

    ¡°Don¡¯t know if Guan Jinhau would be persuaded with money?¡± This was an S-tier technique and that made Qin Feng unsure, but he had to try. If it did not work there was always a violent alternative.

    Just as Qin Feng was mulling over this, the auctioneer¡¯s voice was heard again.

    ¡°Next up, we will conduct today¡¯s first mystery award auction!¡±

    The lights of the stage immediately gathered at where the ceremonydies walked through. As music rang through the entire area a graceful looking woman walked through.

    ¡°It¡¯s Fire Phoenix!¡±

    ¡°Is it her that¡¯s introducing this?¡±

    ¡°What is it? What treasure?¡±

    Everyone grew curious.

    Fire Phoenix was part of the Dusk Dragon Auction¡¯s elite. She was an A-tier known for her explosive temper, nobody dared to offend her. This time she was dressed gorgeously, her fiery red hair getting the most attention.

    She brought a tray onto the stage as she entered, and pulled off the red cloth to reveal the spatial rune equipment beneath.

    With a wave or her hand, a dark object fell to the ground.

    Boom!

    It made a loud sound as it hit the ground, people felt their feet tremble under them!

    A terrible aura suddenly washed over the area!

    The aura was horrible!

    However, people stared at the thing intently. It was a ten meter long horn that still had some blood lingering at its edges. The aura it exuded was suffocating.

    ¡°Hwroar!¡±

    A roar suddenly came from the dark object, it was not heard but it was felt. It was like a Dragon¡¯s roar and there seemed to be some dark energy leaking from the little scales that were still attached to it.

    This belonged to some extremely humongous draconic being.

    The auctioneer excitedly said, ¡°Everyone, this is the item for auction. An S-tier powerhouse managed to chop off the single horn of an A-tier beast deity!¡±

    ¡°Whoaa!!¡±

    The whole floor seemed to be boiling with energy from the audience.

    Not only that, even Qin Feng was staring at this horn with wide eyes.

    A beast deity!

    The horn of a beast deity.

    Any S-tier ultra beast that became a beast deity had achieved that by pure chance!

    It was like the Glutton Leviathan, while it was already massive, it needed to ess the extremely powerful Glittering Gold Sand before it could evolve into a beast deity. Would all of that not have required an extreme amount of luck?

    Once a beast deity had been created, even S-tiers needed to be cautious. Based on the strength of humans, they could only deal with beast emperors who were a lower tier than themselves. As for beast deities, that would depend on the person¡¯s skill!

    Just a lone horn could make so many people extremely uneasy. That was enough indication that such a beast deity was extremely powerful.

    It was unclear just which S-tier managed to defeat this beast deity.

    No matter what, Qin Feng knew that he had to get his hands on that horn!

    ¡°Something from a beast deity, if the Verdant Emperor Saberbined with that material it would surely get stronger!¡±

    ¡°Now, this beast deity horn¡¯s auction will begin! The starting price will be 100 million credits!¡±

    This time, the others did not even need to know what the minimal amount they could bid was because that was unnecessary. The 100 million credit price was just a means to goad people onward.

    The numbers on the big screen began to rapidly increase.

    10 billion!

    20 billion!

    50 billion!

    As the numbers wildly scrolled through the screen, they rushed to 80 billion in the blink of an eye.

    The numbers were still being refreshed.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng did not make any strong moves yet. He had a lot of money, but he did not want to let this dizzying frenzy cloud his judgement.

    ¡°This beast material came from a beast deity, before my rebirth I¡¯ve seen these things being auctioned before and they went up to 100 billion credits!¡±

    With that in mind, it did not take long before the price for ultra beast horn would reach 90 billion credits.

    That was the kind of wealth that would empty the pockets of any A-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°The price is now 91.7 billion!

    ¡°91.8 billion!¡±

    ¡°Is there anyone else? 91.9 billion!¡±

    The auctioneer eximed but the bidding pace was starting to slow down as everyone began to start thinking!

    At this point, Qin Feng finally showed his hand.

    On the big screen, the number instantly broke through 3 digits!

    Even the auctioneer eximed with excitement.

    ¡°100 billion! Someone has bid 100 billion power credits! VIP 1-85 has bid 100 billion credits!¡±

 Chapter 743 - It Must be Obtained

    <h4>Chapter 743: It Must be Obtained</h4>

    Some people thought that the room number sounded quite familiar.

    These were Dark Coalition people, they all had sinister schemes. Anyone who managed to purchase something, if they did not leave early then the treasures they carried on them would make them into a target!

    Qin Feng managed to seize the Sacred Water Stone for himself, in addition to Liu Hang¡¯s grudge against him. There were seven to eight people who tried to contest his bids earlier and they were paying attention to him!

    When Qin Feng made his move, these people casted strange looks in his direction.

    At this time, the auction¡¯s big screen had been disying Qin Feng¡¯s 100 billion credit bid for quite some time and remained motionless.

    It was then the auction proceeded into its 30 second countdown phase.

    ¡°100 billion going once!¡±

    The auctioneer hollered.

    ¡°100 billion going twice!¡±

    Nobody was trying to bid!

    If the previous time was because Qin Feng was messing with Liu Hang to teach the man a lesson, this time, it was because everyone else was afraid of Qin Feng¡¯s financial force!

    He had spent more than 50 billion credits for an item and he was still bidding, just how much money did this guy have?

    If someone had money like that, that meant they had to be powerful right? It might be an elite powerhouse, maybe even an S-tier.

    ¡°100 billion going thrice!¡±

    Ding!

    The auctioneer rang the bell. ¡°Congrattions to the VIP in VIP room 1-85 for winning the horn of the beast deity!¡±

    At this time, a thought shed through people¡¯s minds.

    Rich and imposing!

    At this time, Fire Phoenix stepped forward and put the horn away. The horrible suppressive aura disappeared.

    These people looked at Fire Phoenix¡¯s back with reluctance. There was no telling if it was because they were looking at her figure or because they were watching the beast deity horn get taken away!

    In less than two minutes, Qin Feng¡¯s door was knocked on again. After Qin Feng let the person in, it was not surprising that Fire Phoenix was the one to greet him this time.

    By that time, the second mystery item had already been revealed.

    ¡°Sir, this second item is also quite important. Why don¡¯t you stay for the next round and have a look? We can trade goodster!¡± Fire Phoenix said, subtly looking at Qin Feng as if she could see the profit and value on him.

    ¡°No, I¡¯m not interested in it!¡± Qin Feng said.

    The Dusk Dragon Auction¡¯s things were indeed beyond his expectation!

    In fact the next item that was being auctioned was the penultimate Glittering Gold Sand!

    However, this was not just a small vial¡¯s worth. What was being shown was considered plenty, the value was estimated to be about 100 billion credits.

    More importantly, the energy given off by this item was able to transform a normal family into an elite family.

    One could empty their coffers to obtain a beast king material, and maybe someday they would suddenly die and that material might get looted off them by someone else. It would be better to cultivate one¡¯s own family and continue onward.

    With that idea in mind, naturally, such an item was more popr.

    Soon, the frantic bidding began again.

    Besides that, it seemed that some people had been told beforehand that this item was going to appear and were just waiting for it to show up!

    What made them grateful was that room 1-85 seemed to have run out of money and would no longerpete with them. Otherwise there would be another enemy.

    It was just that they would not have known that Qin Feng had more Glittering Gold Sand than what was being offered for auction!

    At this point, Fire Phoenix felt a little surprised. Based on Qin Feng¡¯s exposed skin, along with voice and gaze, based on the outward appearance, this person seemed very young.

    ¡°Very well distinguished guest, then we shall begin our trade now. This is the item that you¡¯ve won the bid for!¡±

    Qin Feng took the spatial rune equipment that was being offered, swept through it with his consciousness and nodded in satisfaction.

    It was a good thing, a very very good thing!

    ¡°Here!¡± Qin Feng took out a spatial rune equipment which contained 100 billion credits.

    Fire Phoenix looked at the rune equipment and nced over at Qin Feng to meet his gaze. She was trying to size him up, the reason she came here was because she was aware of Qin Feng¡¯s strength. He was only a B2-tier and when they were verifying him they only found that he had 100 billion credits.

    That was why she was worried that the other party was unable to provide the money but it looked like Qin Feng was also concealing his strength.

    Qin Feng put away the rune equipment and then asked, ¡°By the way, what¡¯s the third item going to be? If you can reveal it that is. If it¡¯s something I don¡¯t need then I¡¯ll be leaving!¡±

    It was a wise choice, at that point everyone had their eyes on him!

    When Fire Phoenix heard Qin Feng¡¯s words, she could not help but almost ask, ¡®You still have money?¡¯

    Despite her fiery attitude, she was not that straightforward. After thinking about it for a moment, she said, ¡°The third item is actually rted to the horn that you just bought!¡±

    Qin Feng was taken aback.

    Then, his eyes seemed to be illuminated with some kind of light!

    If it was rted to the horn then it must be something more valuable than the Glittering Gold Sand!

    That could mean only one thing!

    A beast deity crystal core!

    Qin Feng returned to his seat!

    He was going to also ask Bai Li something but realized that Fire Phoenix was still at the door and decided to do thatter.

    ¡°Miss Fire Phoenix, thank you for your notice, I¡¯ll wait for a while before going then!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Very well then!¡± Fire Phoenix¡¯s eyes glinted, not expecting Qin Feng to be so wealthy that he would decide to contest for a beast deity crystal core.

    However, her curious thought was suddenly doused by what Qin Feng said next.

    ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, then you may go Miss Fire Phoenix. I still have some things I want to discuss with my girlfriend!¡±

    The smile on Fire Phoenix suddenly froze and her eyes seemed to burst into mes!

    Qin Feng was shooing her away? Was he not going to give her some face?

    Fire Phoenix could not believe this.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s gaze did not waver, not only that, the nearby Bai Li set her attention on Fire Phoenix. For a moment, Fire Phoenix felt as if she was being stared at by some kind of terrifying behemoth.

    Her fiery temper was suddenly unable to ignite and she could only blurt out, ¡°Very well, then I¡¯ll be leaving!¡±

    She left the private room and after closing the door, she was still wondering why she came out just like that.

    She barely realized that Bai Li had just unleashed her powerful consciousness in that instant.

    ¡°One can onlye across something like a beast deity crystal core like happy idents. Although it¡¯s very likely that there would be a beast deity found on Hell Ind, we might not be able to fight it just by ourselves. It must be obtained, and this item is naturally beneficial. You might need it to evolve into A-tier!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t have any issues, as long as I¡¯m able to absorb energy my genes would allow me to evolve into a beast deity. You¡¯re different, humans can hardly break into that level but you have the dark absorption ability and are very likely to seed! It would be best if we can get this beast deity crystal core!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I just don¡¯t know if 250 billion credits would be enough!¡±

 Chapter 744 - Horrifying Auction of Three Hundred Billion Power Credits

    <h4>Chapter 744: Horrifying Auction of Three Hundred Billion Power Credits</h4>

    ¡°Let me ask Xue Xingfu if he can bring more money over.¡± Bai Li contacted Xue Xingfu!

    Items sold to the Wanzong Organization were materials that were avable inrge quantities, and the Fengli Organization had retained some of those in their stock. It had been several days since Qin Feng left, the Fengli Organization had also begun to recover their financial resources, umting into a sum of avable funds.

    ¡°There are still 50 billion power credits avable!¡± Bai Li confirmed.

    ¡°Hmm, inform him to ce them into the Battlegod Tomb!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    Xue Xingfu immediately ced the spatial ring containing power credits into the Battlegod Tomb. After Qin Feng utilized the unknown region to obtain his item, he had then received a total of 300 billion power credits for himself.

    It should be enough!

    Meanwhile, the Glittering Gold Sand was already being contented to an inted 150 billion credits.

    It was the highest price point thus far.

    The A-tier god weapon auctioned at an insanely inted price was to capture the interest of the others, and the final mysterious prize was the ultimate surprise factor!

    Regardless of the beast deity materials or the Glittering Gold Sand, both were items that had drawn the attention of the crowd.

    The contenders had initiated a mad auctioning, but the sky-rocketed price had eliminated those who werecking funds. While most of them were members from A-tier major ns, there might even be infiltration of hidden members from the Human Alliance.

    Finally, the Glittering Gold Sand was auctioned at the price of 162.1 billion power credits.

    Although some of the contenders were disappointed, they looked forward more to the next item.

    Then, it was Fire Phoenix again who took out the next item.

    The appearance of the beast deity crystal core had silenced the entire auction house, the horrifying mighty presence had even oppressed the breathing pace of the crowd.

    If anyone were to face such an intimidating presence, perhaps there would not even be any intention to escape!

    ¡°Now, the final item for this auction, an A-tier beast deity crystal core, starting at 100 million, the bidding begins now!¡±

    Qin Feng did not hesitate and immediately keyed in his bidding price!

    100 billion!

    Meanwhile, notification sounds were heard from other spots of the auctioning crowd.

    [The price you entered is lower than the current bidding price!]

    [The price you entered is lower than the current bidding price!]

    [The price you entered is lower than the current bidding price!]

    All of them raised their heads and saw that the bidding price was already at 100 billion power credits. As the crowd did not expect anyone to begin the bidding with such a high price, the amount stopped there for several seconds, allowing everyone to see who the bidder was.

    1-85!

    But soon, the price was raised higher, obviously, the 100 billion price point was still not their baseline!

    However, Qin Feng was unwilling to go with the gradual price increase, and he keyed in a higher price again!

    200 billion!

    Most of the close contenders were then eliminated, as it was highly unlikely for those who were present to have 200 billion avable for them.

    Meanwhile, those who were in the private rooms were all shocked.

    ¡°1-85, who is this person? How could he be so wealthy?¡±

    ¡°Should wepete with him? We do not have much avable funds left, if we were to mortgage other items at the end of the auction, the Dusk Dragon Auction will only absorb half of the market price!¡±

    ¡°Damn it, how dare hepete against me, let¡¯s see how much he has!¡±

    Each private room was reacting differently, but they all knew that Qin Feng was a formidable opponent!

    They then raised the price again!

    Qin Feng did not hold back either, the beast deity crystal core was an important item for his future use. Also, with his current capabilities, it was impossible for him to defeat an A-tier beast deity. If Qin Feng were to achieve B9-tier without the beast deity crystal core, he would not be able to push for an instant breakthrough into the deity ss.

    By that time, how could he still call himself a powerful figure?

    Even worse, he would not have the capability to resist against Z!

    With that in mind, Qin Feng went all in for it!

    ¡°300 billion!¡±

    Meanwhile, other prices that were being keyed in were all rendered useless by Qin Feng.

    The spike in amount hade to a pause on the screen, nobody else was bidding anymore!

    ¡°Ay, such a rich and imposing person, can¡¯tpete against him!¡±

    ¡°Who is this person? Is he here to spoil the market?¡±

    ¡°Could he be rted to the Dusk Dragon Auction? However, if he is not, I still cannot afford to bid against the 300 billion!¡±

    All of them had given up.

    Although few of them were wealthy enough to carry on, they were afraid of losing to Qin Feng. Furthermore, they felt that the price point was not worth it anymore!

    Simr to the Glittering Gold Sand situation, the powerful figures were concerned about having to face the oue caused by their own whims and fancies. They were afraid to go further with it.

    However, Qin Feng was at a different standpoint, being the decision maker for his organization, he was the strongest among other powerful figures. He owned his own wealth, unlike other ancient warrior families or organizations that were structured by their hierarchical ssification of elders. Their shares were distributed simrly among those who had contributed their funds.

    Qin Feng had absolute authority!

    ¡°300 billion, anyone else?¡±

    ¡°300 billion going once!¡±

    ¡°300 billion going twice!¡±

    ¡°300 billion going thrice, congrattions to VIP room 1-85...¡±

    The auction master dered loudly. Meanwhile, the auction had thene to an end, some of the B-tiers began to leave while eximing that the world was filled with too many powerful figures.

    Wealth was actually in tandem with one¡¯s capability!

    The A-tiers sat steadily at their ces, they were waiting for those who were in Qin Feng¡¯s private room.

    Fire Phoenix came over again and passed on the item to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng held onto the A-tier beast deity crystal core. Upon examining it, he then passed all of the power credits to Fire Phoenix.

    She was even more surprised once she had calcted the total of 450 billion power credits that Qin Feng had used during the auction.

    She was initially waiting for Qin Feng to mortgage some of his other items, surprisingly, it was all paid in power credits.

    He was insanely wealthy!

    Of course, to Qin Feng, he had emptied all of his current assets during the auction.

    ¡°Sir, the Dusk Dragon Auction willpliment you with a safe passage for your exit. May I know if you would wish to leave now? Be assured that we will definitely secure your safety!¡±

    ¡°There is no need for that!¡±

    Qin Feng was totally ufortable with putting his own safety in the hands of others, and he immediately held onto Bai Li¡¯s hand.

    Bai Li smiled and said, ¡°We¡¯ll make a move now, see you next time, Miss Fire Phoenix!¡±

    With that being said, both of them glittered in an array of silver glow and instantly disappeared from their spot!

    Phoenix opened her eyes wide and eximed, ¡°How could this be?!¡±

    Spatial waymark releases were prohibited within the auction house. The purpose of the restriction was to prevent any sudden activation of spatial passage by any evil aptitude users to bring in arge crowd and overturn the entire Dusk Dragon Auction.

    Such an incident had actually happened fifty years earlier, it was considered the strongest siege movement from the Human Alliance toward the Dusk Dragon Auction!

    But now, how could both of them just leave under such restrictions?

    Not only Fire Phoenix, perhaps even those who were waiting outside would be disappointed!

 Chapter 745 - Incoming Assassin

    <h4>Chapter 745: Iing Assassin</h4>

    It was an iprehensible moment for Fire Phoenix. She walked out from the private room, and meanwhile, the crowd from the first and other floors were already there, wanting to find out more about the situation.

    The general of the Dusk Dragon Auction that appeared earlier was also struck dumb by the appearance of Fire Phoenix and immediately came over.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Aren¡¯t you supposed to bring the client to the secret passage?¡± The general questioned.

    ¡°The client left by himself!¡± Phoenix was unable to exin any further. ¡°A spatial waymark was used, and...I couldn¡¯t understand it!¡±

    The general was also shocked and answered, ¡°Such a powerful figure, he should have his tricks up his sleeves!¡±

    After all, he was a B-tier aptitude user that owned such a great amount of wealth. It was like a bolt out of the blue for the general of the Dusk Dragon Auction. However, being the organizer, they had to uphold their credibility and not strike back at their own clients to hunt them down. Otherwise, the Dusk Dragon Auction would lose all of their reputation!

    Regardless of their dark influences, if they werecking in regtions, it would still be impossible for them to hold the auction on such a massive scale!

    Meanwhile, as both of them spoke, some of the others could not hold it in any longer as one of them walked out and asked, ¡°What¡¯s happening, the guests from private room 1-85 are still inside? I am waiting to introduce myself, perhaps there might be an opportunity to coborate in the future!¡±

    The others noticed that the person had breached the subject, and they immediately followed, not allowing the person to conquer the centre stage alone!

    ¡°That¡¯s right, we are also keen to find out who the powerful figure is. How could one be so wealthy?!¡±

    ¡°There are plenty of opportunities for coboration!¡±

    ¡°I might have something that would interest them!¡±

    However, greed and bloodlust that were showcased in their eyes were clearly visible and noticeable.

    There were still some that frowned and noticed that something unusual had happened, as they had their experiences of bidding for highly priced items and using the secret passage to make an earlier exit.

    ¡°Is it empty inside, have they left?¡±

    Fire Phoenix was well aware of their intentions, as Qin Feng had genuinely left, she did not exin much either and nodded directly to affirm!

    ¡°That¡¯s right, the guests inside have already left, I¡¯m afraid all of you would be disappointed!¡±

    The crowd became extremely irritated and cranky!

    ¡°I wonder who the guest was? At least, let us know the name and look!¡±

    Phoenix answered, ¡°My apologies, guests that visit the Dusk Dragon Auction would not be identified by their names. As long as they are willing to pay, the rest is tolerable, as for their looks...I¡¯m afraid I am not allowed to reveal that!¡±

    ¡°Are you not allowed, or you just have no idea what they look like? I do know that it was a pair of male and female, the male was above one hundred and ny, equipped with a suit of greyish-ckbat fatigues and a ck fox mask. The female looked even more outstanding with her long silver hair, silver eyes, and a white fox mask! Also, their capabilities were merely B-tier!¡±

    The one who spoke was none other than Liu Hang!

    He was struck by a great shock that Qin Feng had spent 300 billion to bid for the beast deity crystal core, and he had to rush over!

    When he found out that Qin Feng had already left, he was obviously dissatisfied by it. Hence, he might as well just disclose the news, and if it were to lead to Qin Feng being killed, he would definitely be delighted by it!

    When the others heard it, they were already able to briefly recall in their minds. After all, when Qin Feng and Bai Li came, they were coincidently followed by the others. From those brief encounters, they were soon identified by the crowd.

    Some of those were still doubtful of the one-sided view. Also, if they had already left, they would just need to make it to the great bridge of the Dark Citadel to exit from the coverage under the space stabilizing device. By then, they would be able to use a spatial waymark to leave the Dark Citadel!

    Regardless, they had ced them into their wanted list, and they would definitely kill them if they were to meet them again. With the showcase of wealth that Qin Feng had pulled, he had already set himself to be targeted by many!

    Meanwhile, as the crowd dispersed, Qin Feng and Bai Li had already returned to the lodge that they were at before.

    Obviously, Qin Feng did not intend to leave, he had to take part in Hell Ind and look for Guan Jinhau for the Phantom Motion Steps!

    However, the moment Qin Feng returned to the lodge, he took out the Magical Tesseract.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was inserted into it, and Qin Feng carried out another round of enhancement.

    The newly bought A-tier beast king material was inserted in!

    The original B-tier material was gradually removed as those were items added onto the saber, but Dawnstar and other special materials were obviously irremovable!

    Then, Qin Feng injected in A-tier beast emperor material.

    Lastly, the A-tier beast deity input!

    A gigantic horn was inserted by Qin Feng!

    Roar!

    A dragon hum channelled out, and the entire Verdant Emperor Saber was no longer the same!

    If the saber was previously graded as a B-tier god weapon, now, it has certainly be an A-tier god weapon.

    Also, the weapon would definitely be worth more than Guan Jinhau¡¯s dagger, at least by several folds.

    Qin Feng activated his consciousness and drew out his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    By then, there were no external changes that had taken ce on the saber, but it had turned into a pitch-ck colour. Its mes were no longer fuchsia, and they had been totally transformed into ck mes!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was disseminating a terrifying presence into the surroundings.

    Qin Feng held onto the saber, and he felt that his internal strength was gushing out. It was because of the insane consumption amount of the A-tier beast deity material!

    Fortunately, it was made from the Magical Tesseract to naturally merge Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness with it, meaning that it was a god weapon that was specially made for him. If not, it would be extremely taxing to just manoeuvre the saber around!

    ¡°Now, the next target will be Guan Jinhau, but I have spent all of my money!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned a little, however, he was not any kind-hearted person either, the worst-case scenario was to defeat Guan Jinhau and just take it from him!

    Then, Qin Feng took out the Sacred Water Stone and began activating his consciousness, the stone had then merged with his consciousness.

    Runes of the stone were constantly devoured by his dark abilities, fuelling Qin Feng with more and more water runes.

    When Qin Feng was about to align the runes and master the water ability, he was alerted by a sudden presence of a murderous aura.

    The entrance door was suddenly opened up, and Qin Feng immediately opened his eyes, looking opposite him. A caped person with an unusual shadow had appeared, and a dagger was aiming toward him.

    Vroom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield instantly surged, but surprisingly, it took the attack from the dagger and was instantly shattered!

    It was no secret that Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield was formidable and extremely powerful!

    Qin Feng¡¯s saber was instantly drawn out, shing with the dagger!

    Dang!

    Both of them collided, the dagger was instantly tossed out, including the attacker that was holding it!

    After all, the erdant Emperor Saber was embedded with Myriatonnium that enforced it with massive energy, and it was impossible for a dagger to withstand it!

    However, the dagger had not suffered any damages. Surprisingly, it had only been tossed aside, one could easily recognize that it was an extraordinary item.

    It was an A-tier god weapon!

    Also, the dagger looked very familiar!

    ¡°Guan Jinhau!¡± Qin Feng was surprised and set his vision on his target.

    It was definitely a favourable encounter for Qin Feng and he did not even put in any effort to achieve the oue. He had not even started to seek for him, and yet he presented himself, delivering himself to his doorstep!

 Chapter 746 - Fulfilling the Task Without Killing

    <h4>Chapter 746: Fulfilling the Task Without Killing</h4>

    Guan Jinhau was struck by Qin Feng¡¯s attack and tossed away, he was caught off guard when his name was called out.

    He took off his cape and carefully evaluated both of them that were present.

    Both of them had already taken off their fox masks, revealing their faces, and they looked surprisingly young.

    ¡°You know who I am? Are we close? Just to let you know, I will not kill those who are close to me!¡± Guan Jinhau mocked with an evil grin from the edge of his lips. However, he was paying close attention to the situation with his eyes, not even loosening up for a bit!

    When Guan Jinhau looked at the dagger on hand, it was still experiencing its mad vibration. Although it did not shatter, Guan Jinhau¡¯s hand that was holding onto the dagger was trembling.

    It was totally unimaginable!

    Guan Jinhau was already an A3-tier aptitude user, how could he not win this fight against a B2-tier ancient warrior?

    Also, Guan Jinhau was definitely a talented person who had capabilities of an emperor ss.

    Qin Feng was also an emperor ss. However, he was backed by his overwhelming amount of internal strength, an aspect that waspeted among the ancient warriors, and the excessive amount of internal strength that Qin Feng had was insanely horrifying!

    ¡°You do not know me, but I know who you are!¡± Qin Feng smiled as he seemed delighted. ¡°Great, I was about to look for you!¡±

    ¡°Oh? What¡¯s the matter? Hiring me to kill someone else?¡±

    ¡°No, you have something that I need!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    ¡°What is it?¡± Guan Jinhau focused his attention and looked at his dagger, was the opponent aiming for his dagger?

    It had cost him 130 billion power credits to bid for it!

    However, for Guan Jinhau to locate Qin Feng in his own special way, it indicated that he knew Qin Feng was the one who had bought the beast deity crystal core. With the amount of wealth he had, if he wanted the dagger, he could have just bidded for it, why opt for the trouble to look for him?

    Of course, eradicating other illegal deeds was widely eptable by many, including Guan Jinhau.

    ¡°Hmm, I am nning to purchase the Spectre Motion Steps from you but I ran out of money. Fortunately, you havee to assassinate me, therefore, against my enemy, I will not show any mercy. Let¡¯s take the cultivation method as the offer for your apology!¡± Qin Feng offered.

    ¡°Pft!¡± Guan Jinhau could not resist his urge tough. ¡°Interesting, really interesting, is this my first time seeing someone who dares to speak to me in this way? Surprisingly, my cultivation method only suffices to apologize for my attempt to assassinate you? Who do you think you are? An emperor? A Huaxia Immortal? Hahahaha!¡±

    Guan Jinhau mocked with a sneer and answered, ¡°I am even capable of killing a S-tier!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, he believed in Guan Jinhau¡¯s statement, as he had really assassinated an S-tier!

    ¡°I do hope that you will still be able to hold onto such a statement!¡±

    Qin Feng tightened his grip onto the Verdant Emperor Saber, followed by an instant explosion of powerful and imposing aura.

    Internal energy surged to a suffocating and horrifying level.

    Guan Jinhau noticed that something was not right.

    ¡®This person, his internal strength, why is it so powerful, he is merely a B2-tier, why does it feel like it is way beyond the presence of an A-tier?¡¯

    Guan Jinhau was puzzled!

    However, to an assassin, the next viable move for a failed attempt of assassination would often be an escape. Guan Jinhau had always been careful to set himself a safe perimeter and not go beyond it.

    ¡°Haha, you are really good, kid, but I don¡¯t think it will be that easy for you to kill me. You do know that I am equipped with Phantom Shift, if I wish to escape, there is absolutely nobody in this world that can stop me!¡±

    Guan Jinhau instantly activated his Phantom Shift and was about to escape!

    Meanwhile, Bai Li, who was standing beside Qin Feng but was overshadowed by Qin Feng¡¯s massive consciousness, causing Guan Jinhau¡¯s to not notice her, was smirking.

    ¡°Is that true?¡± Bai Li winked, and let out a beautiful smile. ¡°In this world, there is also nobody that can escape from my concealed space!¡±

    As the answer echoed in the room where Qin Feng and Bai Li were at, the room was instantly filled with silver runes, followed by its expansion, enclosing the entire space.

    Spatial Lockdown!

    It was merely an eighty square meter room, even the living room and bedroom werebined into one shared space. After the lockdown, it was impossible for Guan Jinhau to escape!

    Guan Jinhau was also struck dumb. He rushed toward the spot that he had entered from earlier, he raised his hand and struck out an array of internal strength attacks!

    However, the spatial runes diverted the attacks to other spaces. The only viable method was if the opponent had the capability to tear the space apart, or else, it would still be impossible for anyone to escape from it.

    Guan Jinhau finally noticed that the situation had turned for the worst!

    Meanwhile, Qin Fengunched his attack from behind.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Within the limited space, Qin Fengshed out his Burning Sword re and filled the entire room, massive engulfing ck mes surged and raged in waves.

    ¡°Huh!¡± Guan Jinhau¡¯s eyes widened as he instantly jumped up and trailed the ceiling to move around!

    The height of the room was merely three meters, but the Burning Sword re that broke out was already beyond that height.

    Guan Jinhau forced himself to sustain his internal strength shield!

    To any assassin, it was crucial to remain unidentified to carry out their deadliest attack, some would even dismiss their internal strength shield during assassination to conceal their presence.

    It was an indication of absolute self-confidence, also like a teeter at the edge of a deadly cliff!

    However, the situation had left Guan Jinhau no choice but to do it.

    Qin Feng raised his hand andshed out another explosive sword re!

    Guan Jinhau¡¯s internal strength shield was instantly shattered!

    It was impossible for Guan Jinhau to sustain his internal strength against Qin Feng¡¯s.

    However, within the interval time gap, Guan Jinhau made an unexpected move and stormed forward.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    A stretch of faded shadows appeared in the air, like there were hundreds of duplicated Guan Jinhaus that were aiming to kill Qin Feng from all directions.

    The next moment, ringing sounds echoed in the room.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield began to vibrate, and all of a sudden, it shattered!

    But it was at that moment, Qin Fengunched another attack.

    ¡°Terraform Magma!¡±

    The magma release was not aimed toward the opponent but himself.

    All of a sudden, an area of two meters in diameter around Qin Feng was filled with magma, Qin Feng was surrounded by it, but he was not harmed at all!

    However, it was quite a horrifying restriction to Guan Jinhau¡¯s attacks.

    ¡°Kill!¡± Guan Jinhau was taken over by his bloodlust, internal strength merged into his dagger and was channelled into the magma.

    Internal strength repelled on the magma and burst into a magma wave, but Qin Feng did not suffer any injuries at all.

    It was at that moment, Guan Jinhau began his movements again. The Phantom Shift had allowed him to fade himself into vague shadows, and he was aiming a kill at Bai Li.

    ¡°Die now!¡±

    If Bai Li was dead, the surrounding spatial lockdown would certainly be released, the strategy that Guan Jinhau had in mind was not bad.

    The strategy was well thought of, and his movements were also carried out swiftly, but it was still detected by Bai Li!

    Bai Li raised her hand, lifted her whip andshed toward the sky.

    All of a sudden, countless numbers of tiny rifts were formed around Bai Li.

    Meanwhile, Guan Jinhau had already rushed through them!

    Poof poof poof poof poof!

    Several spatial rifts were stained with fresh blood that dripped onto the ground!

    Guan Jinhau¡¯s shadow movements had instantly stopped.

 Chapter 747 - Guan Jinhau, The Scapegoat

    <h4>Chapter 747: Guan Jinhau, The Scapegoat</h4>

    Guan Jinhau was fast. Really fast! However, it was this lightning speed of his that almost killed him.

    The man did not have an internal energy shield to protect him. As such, he was taking on these spatial runes with his own body. In other words, there was no way he could break through these.

    Thus, his body was cut open.

    Fortunately for him, the dimensional rifts did not cause any fatal wounds on him. Still, a piece of skin was sliced off from his scalp; one of his arms was cut and dislocated, leaving only a few threads of flesh and muscles connecting his arms and shoulders; his stomach was pierced while his gut was mostly crushed.

    There was another dimensional rift about ten centimeters away from him, dangling right at his throat. If he did not stop in time, it would have definitely beheaded him in a matter of seconds.

    ¡°Ugh... Warghh!!¡±

    Guan Jinhau threw out blood briefly before taking out medicines from his pocket dimension and swallowed them down.

    He did not dare to move an inch now¡ªthere were plenty of spatial runes around him. Qin Feng¡¯s saber was already sitting on his shoulder. Due to the saber¡¯s powers, hisbat suit and armor were already burning wildly. Even his cape was crackling loudly against the wind. This cape was a Sacred Armor tier equipment; and it was now on the verge of breaking down!

    ¡°Guan Jinhau. Perhaps you would like to give up the Phantom Shift now?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Guan Jinhau swallowed his saliva bitterly. ¡°So... you mean... you¡¯re not going to kill me?¡±

    After all, they both did not know each other. And right now, if Qin Feng swiped his saber just a little more to the left, Guan Jinhau was as good as dead.

    At the same time, Qin Feng did not really think of killing Guan Jinhau. Even though the man was a member of the Dark Coalition, Guan Jinhau had never killed innocent civilians. Many of his prey were high-tiered ability users that were not part of the Huaxia Alliance. Not only that, he was also famous for collecting bounties for the criminals from the Dark Coalition from all over the world.

    Therefore, Qin Feng was not going to kill him.

    ¡°Come on, man. You know that you don¡¯t have a choice though, right?¡±

    Qin Feng added one more sentence and then waited. He wanted Guan Jinhau to decide his own fate.

    Meanwhile, Guan Jinhau was struggling with his inner thoughts too. Qin Feng seemed to not be releasing any murderous intent. This meant that he could escape and fight another day. And... he could lie about the training methods of his Phantom Shift, resulting in Qin Feng being crippled from learning the qinggong.

    Suddenly, a voice crept into his ears.

    ¡°Look at me!¡±

    Instinctively, Guan Jinhau raised his head and saw a pair of eyes staring at him. They seemed so surreal, as though they held an entire gxy in them. The person¡¯s face was as beautiful as a goddess, yet now all that Guan Jinhau could do was stare at that pair of eyes with all his attention and consciousness.

    These eyes belonged to Bai Li.

    ¡°Tell me the methods in learning and training the Phantom Shift.¡± Bai Li ordered.

    Then, Guan Jinhau was startled at what his own body did next¡ªhis mouth immediately revealed everything he knew about the Phantom Shift to Qin Feng and Bai Li. At the same time, Qin Feng was listening to and recording the secret techniques of the Phantom Shift. As he was recording, Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were widened in joy, like a scientist who had discovered the answer to a problem.

    After all, Qin Feng had learned Disorienting Steps before and tried to improve it. However, he was not researching the right way, making it impossible for him to invent his own Phantom Shift.

    Right now, Qin Feng finally understood how the Phantom Shift worked. And that was not all... there seemed to be some secret behind this unique qinggong too.

    ¡°So, the Phantom Shift can be powered with my Phantom Cape, which could infuse shadowy powers to me that would allow me to hide within the shadows...¡±

    Guan Jinhau was struggling in taking back control of his body as his mouth kept spewing out all of his secrets. If he could, he wanted to bite his tongue and make himself mute forever, but it was toote. He could not imagine just how powerless he would be if Qin Feng were to take his Phantom Cape.

    A few momentster, Qin Feng already got whatever he wanted from Guan Jinhau. Not wanting to waste her conscious energy any further, Bai Li let him go. She even disarmed all her dimensional rifts too.

    Seeing this, Qin Feng too put away his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Thank you. You may go now.¡±

    Guan Jinhau stared at Qin Feng in disbelief. This man, after learning all the secrets of Phantom Shift, did not seem to be interested in taking his Phantom Cape away from him. Not only that, Qin Feng seemed to be satisfied with just knowing the secrets and techniques behind the Phantom Shift.

    Guan Jinhau also felt relieved that he did not decide to lie about the learning and training methods of the Phantom Shift. If not, when this silver-haireddy used her weird powers to force him to tell them everything again, they would know that he was lying. And if that were to happen, he might not be able to walk away alive.

    Seeing that Qin Feng and Bai Li indeed were letting him go, Guan Jinhau dashed out without hesitation.

    Now that Bai Li had disarmed all her spatial powers, when Guan Jinhau dashed out of the room he could feel several overpowering presences around him¡ªthere were A-tiers just outside of the room! And there were hundreds of them!

    ¡°What the hell?!¡± Guan Jinhau blurted out before dashing out even faster than before, ignoring that he was already heavily wounded. Nheless, right now the most important thing to him was to escape with everything he could¡ªeven if this meant that he could be crippled forever.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!!!¡±

    In an instant, Guan Jinhau morphed into dozens of mirror images and dashed toward every direction that a clock arm could point at!

    Phantom Shift was a technique that utilized a mix of qinggong and spatial runes. This was what made the Phantom Shift so unparalleledpared to other qinggongs.

    ¡°He¡¯s out!¡±

    ¡°Kill¡¯em!¡±

    ¡°Stop that piece of sh*t! Don¡¯t let him get away with the beast deity¡¯s core!¡±

    The A-tiers then began to chase after Guan Jinhau!

    ¡°It¡¯s not on me! You got the wrong guy!¡± Guan Jinhau yelled out loudly while trying to run away.

    Yet, these people did not believe him. These A-tiers could not see clearly who was the person that ran out; so, they thought that he was Qin Feng. There were only a few keen eyes that could see that it was Guan Jinhau. And... this made matters worse for him.

    ¡°That¡¯s Guan Jinhau! He¡¯s a legendary assassin! So, that young man must be dead by now!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, he¡¯s an A-tier assassin. A top-tier killer like him could kill a B-tier ancient warrior without problem!¡±

    ¡°After him! When we catch him, we can divide the loot!¡±

    Thus, the A-tiers were all led away by Guan Jinhau!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng and Bai Li had already teleported to the roof of a random skyscraper and were looking at them from above.

    There were a few A-tiers that were wary of what was going on; so, they went into the room to check. Naturally, they could not find Qin Feng there. Thus, they too had joined the chase for Guan Jinhau too.

    Of course, Guan Jinhau was not some schmuck that could be caught easily. He knew how to use the S-tier qinggong¡ª¡±Phantom Shift¡± after all. As such, he was still able to sessfully escape with his life.

    ¡°This is great. Guan Jinhau not only gave me his qinggong, he even helped me divert the attention of these hyenas. What a chap!¡± Qin Feng smiled.

    ¡°Teehee! This is what he gets foring after us. If he did not do this, he would not need to face this fate.¡±

    These A-tiers were able to locate Qin Feng and Bai Li earlier¡ªif Guan Jinhau could find them, it would not be difficult for these people of the same tier to do the same. Yet, they were locked out of the Spatial Lockdown as soon as Guan Jinhau attacked the couple. As such, all these A-tiers could do was wait outside of the room.

    At the same time, Bai Li knew how many people were waiting outside the room.

    This was why Qin Feng was not that surprised to see what happened after letting Guan Jinhau go.

    Still, there was one sharp consciousness that was locking onto Qin Feng and Bai Li.

 Chapter 748 - A Warning from an S-tier

    <h4>Chapter 748: A Warning from an S-tier</h4>

    ¡°Stop chasing after that one. The real one is over here!¡±

    A voice yelled out loudly to the crowd.

    It was Liu Hang. He had seen Qin Feng before; so, he knew how to differentiate Qin Feng¡¯s presence. After seeing that Qin Feng had disappeared into thin air, Liu Hang was already suspicious of what was going on. Thus, he quickly emitted his consciousness and spread it out to scan the area; and that was how he was able to lock onto Qin Feng that quickly.

    Having fought before, Liu Hang knew just how powerful Qin Feng was. Right now his hand was still wounded; so, he did not dare to go forward to face him head on.

    However, even if he could not take on Qin Feng, he could tell others about his whereabouts and have them attack him.

    Meanwhile, Guan Jinhau was not able to run too far from the A-tiers. His Phantom Shift was good at creating diversions, which would allow him to escape. This meant that his qinggong was in fact not any faster than the ordinary ¡°Disorienting Steps¡±; and thus, it was quite difficult for him to outrun all these A-tiers.

    After hearing that someone was calling out Qin Feng¡¯s whereabouts, Guan Jinhau too yelled out joyfully, ¡°Yeah! Not here! They¡¯re not here! They¡¯re over there!¡±

    One of the ability users quickly scanned their consciousness at the direction they were pointing at; sure enough, they were able to locate Qin Feng and Bai Li almost instantly.

    ¡°He¡¯s there! He¡¯s right there!¡±

    ¡°Hey, boy! Hand the beast deity core over if you want to live!¡±

    This person dashed toward Qin Feng at great speed, almost as fast as a split of lightning!

    This person was a lightning ability user!

    However, Qin Feng hugged Bai Li¡¯s waist and let out a cold smirk.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    Even though Qin Feng had just learned about this qinggong, he already knew about the concepts and techniques of the Disorienting Steps. As such, it did not take long for him to master it. To add more, Qin Feng had a lot of powerful internal energy within him; so, it was quite easy for him to activate the qinggong¡ªa martial art that relied a lot on the mastery of internal energy.

    Almost instantly, Qin Feng had already zipped too hundreds of miles away! Not only that, he had also left hundreds of mirror images behind that moved toward multiple directions!

    Guan Jinhau¡¯s mirror images were created from his Phantom Cape. When he fused his internal energy into it, the cape would create dozens of mirror images for him. However, Qin Feng¡¯s mirror images were created from his own dark runes. They were more in numbers; and their presence felt almost like the real person!

    After seeing Qin Feng¡¯s Phantom Shift, Guan Jinhau could not help but to yell out excitedly, ¡°Holy sh*t! What the hell?!¡±

    He could not believe his eyes.

    He could not believe that Qin Feng could use this skill only minutes after he first learned it. Not only that, Qin Feng did not have a Phantom Cape. As such, how did Qin Feng do it? Did he just create hundreds of mirror images out of thin air?

    And the most shocking thing to Guan Jinhau was...

    As soon as the lightning ability user got near to one of the mirror images, the ck humanoid silhouette turned back and grabbed him!

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    Then, the other ¡°mirror images¡± that were nearby dashed toward him with dark shadow-like sabers in their hands and attacked him!

    The lightning ability user did not expect this to happen. It was like a split of lightning was diving straight into a pool of ck ink! To add more, he noticed that his body was weakened by the shadows around him and could not move as agilely as he usually could.

    Pfft!

    A saber was stabbed into his abdomen. Then, in a matter of seconds, the wound was torn open rapidly.

    ¡°Argh!!¡±

    The lightning ability user¡¯s stomach waspletely ripped open, with his intestinespletely crushed.

    ¡°Lightning Form!!¡±

    The Lightning ability user activated an ability without hesitation. His body morphed into a cloak of thundering clouds and then crackled into multiple lightning zaps in various directions, trying to flee from Qin Feng¡¯s mirror images.

    Yet, these shadowy mirror images still kept on lunging at the lightning zaps, like they were performing rounds after rounds of kamikaze attacks.

    A few momentster, several lightning zaps werepletely taken out, leaving only one small lightning ball left.

    Pzzt!

    In a blink of an eye, the lightning ball morphed back into a human. The lightning ability user¡¯s mouth was bleeding; a huge hole was ripped open in his stomach.

    As he tried to flee away, the ability user kept unleashing lightning zaps to defend himself against the shadowy mirror images. Yet, this did not stop them at all!

    Pfft!

    A shadowy saber had cut down the ability user¡¯s head.

    Despite being an A-tier, he was no match against Qin Feng¡¯s mirror images.

    Right now, Qin Feng looked more like a fearsome killer than Guan Jinhau¡ªhe was able to use the Phantom Shift and kill an S-tier!

    After burning the lightning ability user to ash, Qin Feng turned briefly to collect his spatial ring and then left.

    As for the others, all they could do was stand and watch. After taking a deep breath, they quickly got blinded again with greed.

    ¡°Wait. That guy... the guy who got killed was the leader of the Eagle Hunter Guild!¡±

    ¡°His wealth is about 30 billion power credits, right?¡±

    ¡°This means that... that kid has robbed every cent of it by killing him!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s kill him! Then, we¡¯ll divide the loot!¡±

    Thus, they quickly gave chase. They did not stop to think about the consequences at all. Deep down, they believed that they would be the ones who were lucky enough to not be killed by Qin Feng.

    However, they did not dare to dash toward the direction of Qin Feng¡¯s shadowy mobs.

    As they were trying to give chase from a different direction, suddenly loud thunder could be heard from the middle of the Dark Citadel before a gigantic ck dragon rose up to the sky.

    ¡°Leave my ind!¡±

    A loud, deafening voice thundered in the area!

    Qin Feng took a nce at the ck Dragon Boulder. It was a unique building that was built as a unique rune mechanism. When there was any fierce battle happening on the ind, the ck Dragon Boulder would be activated to release that loud yell!

    A loud yell from an S-tier!

    This yell was a warning¡ªa warning that this ind did not belong to any lowly schmuck. In fact, it belonged to an S-tier ability user.

    Even though the A-tier ability users wererge in number, they did not dare to offend the S-tier ability user.

    ¡°Sh*t! This is that S-tier¡¯s ind!¡±

    ¡°I wonder if he¡¯s on the ind at the moment...¡±

    ¡°What do we do now? Do we just let that kid go?¡±

    ¡°Hey, look! he¡¯s fleeing out of the ind!¡±

    The A-tiers then quickly gave chase again.

    Qin Feng scoffed and turned back toward them. If they wanted a fight, he would give them one. Even though Qin Feng¡¯s tier did not ascend when he came back from the Amazon Alliance, his internal energy had tripled.

    He was no longer an ordinary B-tier that needed to carefully calcte his moves when facing seven A-tiers.

    Also, his newly improved Verdant Emperor Saber and Bai Li were enough to help him to remain undefeated when facing these greedy A-tiers.

    Whoosh!

    Several shadowy mirror images were still moving about. Even though the A-tiers did not know where Qin Feng had gone to, they knew that these mirror images could not stay far from the original¡ªthis meant that Qin Feng was still moving about with these mirror images.

    A few momentster, Qin Feng had finally flown to the ocean. Right now, he was in rtive safety¡ªaway from the Dark Citadel.

    And the number of A-tiers that were tailing him seemed to have also increased in thest few minutes.

 Chapter 749 - Fellas, Back Off

    <h4>Chapter 749: Fes, Back Off</h4>

    Qin Feng finally stopped moving around.

    In a matter of minutes, dozens of people were surrounding Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Back in the Amazon Alliance, Qin Feng had to fight seven A-tiers all at the same time. Right now, there were even more A-tiers that showed up here in the Huaxia Alliance.

    The Dusk Dragon Auction was held in a six-storey building. Each floor had about one hundred guest rooms. This meant that there were at least six hundred people that came to the auction. And B-tiers would not be able to participate in the Dusk Dragon Auction because most of them did not have 10 billion lying around in their vaults. As such, the participants were mostly A-tiers or members from organizations that had A-tiers at their backbones.

    As such, right now there were hundreds of A-tiers in the Dark Citadel. And out of these hundreds of A-tiers, about forty of them were surrounding Qin Feng.

    There were also over hundreds of B-tiers forming anotheryer of crowd about several hundred meters away from the A-tiers¡¯ reach; these B-tiers did not intend to watch the fight. To them, Qin Feng was just a B2-tier ability user; so, they were just there to watch a good show before dividing the loot after Qin Feng was yed by the A-tiers.

    Some of these people had their faces hidden behind disguises¡ªthey were most likely people that Qin Feng knew from the Human Alliance. In fact, Qin Feng could feel that several of their presences were rather familiar; this meant that he could have met them on a battlefield before.

    Nheless, right now it was quite clear that they were not friends or allies.

    Hovering above the ocean, Qin Feng looked at his opponents who were also doing the same above the sea waters; some A-tiers remained in the sky and looked at him from above the sky.

    ¡°Fes, I¡¯ll give you a chance. Back off hundreds of meters away from me or die!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s voice was loud but cold¡ªit felt as cold as the ever-freezing snow that had been umted for millennia on a snowy mountain.

    Not only that, he was also emitting a rather powerful murderous intent. This murderous intent was not something one could harness after killing a few thousand ultra beasts¡ªit was the kind that one could only acquire after walking away from tens of thousands of corpses.

    Qin Feng had in not just ultra beasts. He had in a whole city that was controlled by the Dark Coalition in Amazon Alliance.

    Some ability users gulped down their saliva, hesitating to be the one to strike first.

    Some of them even recognized Qin Feng.

    ¡°That¡¯s the Fengli Organization¡¯s President, Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°This man is a prodigy. He¡¯s a B-tier now... this means that he can take on A-tiers with no problem. Whelp, I guess I¡¯ll take the bench, boys!¡±

    ¡°... Well, I¡¯ll be damned. I¡¯ll back off.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard that Qin Feng has in seven A-tiers in the Amazon Alliance in one go. But... the A-tiers here are at least three times the number than that. Can he aplish the same feat here? Hmm... maybe I¡¯ll just sit on the sidelines and watch first.¡±

    Thus, five men backed off. There were still about three dozen people surrounding him, waiting to strike at any time. ring at these people who did not heed his warning, Qin Feng let out a cold smirk.

    ¡°Good. Now, as for the rest of you...¡± Qin Feng raised his hand. ¡°Die!¡±

    In an instant, a huge, ck flower appeared above Qin Feng¡¯s hand. It was the Apocalypse Bloom!

    The A-tiers stared at the flower as they felt a terrifying presence from it. This flower carried a tremendously potent power in it!

    Yet, these A-tiers were not totally intimidated.

    ¡°Heh, that¡¯s a bluff!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll see how you are going to kill me!¡±

    ¡°Guys, kill him!¡±

    Thus, the A-tiers unleashed their powers and abilities¡ªinternal energies, abilities, consciousness, everything they had!

    Suddenly, a ray of silver beam shed above everyone¡¯s head¡ªthis was a spatial ability.

    In an instant, these people were transported and gathered to the same spot; and then, a huge silver cube appeared within hundreds of meters nearby.

    ¡°Spatial Lockdown... Cubic sp!¡±

    Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!

    Silver rays instantly enveloped everyone and dissolved their attacks.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯s Apocalypse Bloom started to fall lower and lower. There was no way these A-tiers could evade it; so, all they could do was try their best to defend against it.

    Then, the Apocalypse Bloom¡¯s petals started to drop one by one.

    The people who were looking hundreds of meters away could not take their eyes off of what was happening.

    ¡°What the hell is that?¡±

    ¡°Is that some kind of spatial ability? So, did Qin Feng acquire some kind of god weapon?¡±

    ¡°Wow, these people are all trapped. Their asses are gonna be whooped!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s Cubic sp was like a gigantic rubik¡¯s cube, formed by twenty-seven smaller cubes inside. Each smaller cube could contain about two people inside. There was no way out for these A-tiers other than trying to endure Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s attacks.

    Now, Qin Feng and Bai Li had teleported into the middle of the Cubic sp. In the very middle, there was only one A-tier.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng swung his Verdant Emperor Saber. As the de cut open the A-tier¡¯s flesh, a ck me exploded from his wound!

    Qin Feng could kill seven A-tiers back then. And now, with his powers enhanced and wielding a strengthened Verdant Emperor Saber, Qin Feng could easily y this one A-tier. Not only that, Bai Li was quite eager to sink her teeth into this man¡¯s flesh too.

    This was going to be a massacre.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    The A-tier ancient warrior could not do anything against Qin Feng¡¯s attack. As such, he exploded into a thick veil of ck me and died right away!

    After briefly collecting the loot that he had dropped, Qin Feng went straight to the next cube.

    When one of the two A-tiers inside the cube saw this, he tried to attack. However, before he could do anything, Qin Feng had already grabbed his head with his hand and prated it with a steel chain, the same attack that killed the A-tier in the first cube.

    He too died almost instantly.

    Then, all that was left was the other A-tier. This A-tier, though, was already struck with a huge panic attack¡ªhe knew just how powerful Qin Feng was but seeing that there were many other A-tiers taking him on together, he thought he might stand a chance against him. Yet now, he and the others were separated from one another inside this weird, gigantic, silver rubik¡¯s cube.

    This meant that he was going to face Qin Feng alone. And he knew very well he could not take him on alone.

    At first, when he realized that there was another A-tier trapped with him, he thought that they still had a chance. However, when Qin Feng got near them, a huge hole was punctured in his partner¡¯s skull right away.

    This devastated him mentally.

    ¡°General Qin, look... it¡¯s all a misunderstanding. I was... I was backing away... and I thought I was already far enough. I didn¡¯t think I¡¯d be trapped here too...!¡±

    The A-tier took off his mask and revealed that he was indeed a member of the Human Alliance. This was one of the elders of an ancient warrior family. Qin Feng did not know this man; all that he knew was that this man was a stuck-up snob.

    Of course, there was no need to know who this man was after today.

    As such, without saying a word, Qin Feng activated the Phantom Shift and swung his Verdant Emperor Saber. Countless dark clones were seen dashing toward him, each had a saber in their hands.

    With the enchantment of his dark runes, Qin Feng¡¯s Phantom Shift was the real deal. Guan Jinhau¡¯s Phantom Shift could only create several illusions that were used to fool his pursuers when he attempted to flee. Qin Feng, on the other hand, could create ¡°phantom clones¡± of himself to kill his opponent with the same technique.

    ¡°Qin Feng! What... What are you doing?! If you kill me, you¡¯re killing one of your own! I could lodge aint about you in the Human Alliance if you do this, you know?!¡±

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°Oh? How are you going to do that when you¡¯re dead?¡±

    Thus, this man was killed too.

    When he wanted to kill, there was no way Qin Feng would allow his prey to live.

    Pfft!

    Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber cut open several wounds on the man¡¯s body before slicing his head off.

    Then, Qin Feng burned his body to ashes using Hellfire.

 Chapter 750 - Wiped Out

    <h4>Chapter 750: Wiped Out</h4>

    The man whose head that Qin Feng kept was someone that he was sure was from the Dark Coalition he had seen on the bounty hunterwork.

    This ancient warrior, however, was just a small corporation¡¯s president. There was not much loot he could get from him. And if he left his corpse lying around, there would be others that would use it against him within the politics of the Human Alliance.

    As such, it was best for him to burn his corpse whole.

    With that, even if some people suspected him, Qin Feng could just pretend that he did not know about it. Also, no one had solid evidence that he was the one who killed him too¡ªno one knew that this man was that president because he had his face covered behind a mask seconds before his death.

    Then, Qin Feng started to move from one cube to another again to kill every single A-tier that challenged him.

    Bai Li was too powerful. As such, even if these people were able to retaliate in time, Bai Li could still shuffle them around in a split second with her spatial powers. Not one of these men were able to survive this onught.

    A few minutester, Qin Feng had killed all of them¡ªabout thirty one men in there. When he walked out of the Cubic sp, his hand was carrying twenty six heads.

    The ability users that were looking on the outside did not know what happened inside. All they saw was a huge silver rubik¡¯s cube emerge and then Qin Feng and Bai Li dashed into the cube before the gigantic ck flower started to descend toward the massive cube.

    All they knew was some eerie scent of blood that could be sniffed from the sea as minutes went by.

    They were as clueless as a slime when they saw Qin Feng walk out of the Cubic sp, with a steel chain binding all the twenty six heads together in his hand.

    The A-tiers were all wiped out!

    And they did not dare to move a muscle, fearing that they would provoke Qin Feng¡¯s wrath against them next. Some of them started to back away, preparing to flee.

    A cold shiver ran down their spines as they breathed heavily.

    This Qin Feng was quite a terrifying monster. He could kill thirty A-tiers in one go!

    Qin Feng dragged the chained heads and leaped into the air. He did not activate the Phantom Shift this time. In fact, he did not use any ability at all other than the ordinary qinggong.

    He lookedpletely defenseless.

    Yet, no one dared to attack him.

    They backed away one step after another in the sky as Qin Feng approached them slowly.

    Then, he got closer. The B-tier crowd quickly split apart, leaving a path for him to go through. They moved rather quickly and were as quiet as mice, fearing that they would invoke Qin Feng¡¯s wrath.

    As Qin Feng flew away, he could feel that none of these men¡¯s consciousness dared to lock onto him. All they did was stare at him in awe as he flew away.

    Qin Feng stopped and turned toward them; these ability users¡¯ faces turned grim when they saw this.

    Letting out a smirk, Qin Feng summoned his hovercraft.

    It was too much trouble to fly back himself. He would rather use a machine to go home.

    As Qin Feng and Bai Li got onto the hovercraft, they tossed the heads into their pocket dimension before leaving.

    Seeing this, the five A-tiers that decided to back off earlier wiped off the cold sweat on their foreheads.

    ¡°Gulp!¡±

    Guan Jinhau gulped down his saliva and was thankful for his faith as he hid amongst the B-tier crowd.

    When everyone got backter, word about Qin Feng¡¯s feat on Hell Ind spread like wildfire.

    In just one night, everyone knew about how a B2-tier ability user had in over thirty A-tiers.

    Of course, Qin Feng did not care about these gossips.

    After heading back to the Dark Citadel, Qin Feng went straight back to the hotel. The people at the reception were quite shocked to see him alive and well¡ªhe was, after all, being hunted by dozens of A-tiers when theyst saw him.

    On the other hand, the owner of the hotel had caught wind of what happened. He was fearful of Qin Feng that he could almost worship the young man like a God, fearing that Qin Feng would murder the crap out of everyone if he was offended.

    After getting back into his room, Qin Feng started to meditate to digest the powers he had absorbed. Out of the thirty one A-tiers that he killed, there were twenty three of them that were ancient warriors. After absorbing their internal energies, his internal energy had grown by 900 pools in strength.

    Meanwhile, Bai Li was busy handling the loot. She took out the A-tiers¡¯ power credits and put them into her little ¡°wallet dimension¡± while tossing everything else into Battlegod Tomb, leaving Xue Xingfu to handle the rest.

    They acquired over 5 billion power credits from each of these A-tiers. As such, there was an increase of about 150 billion power credits in Bai Li¡¯s wallet now.

    This in turn meant that Qin Feng, who was utterly broke a while ago, was now rich once more.

    Qin Feng looked at one of the loot. It was a god weapon¡ªone of the goods that was auctioned earlier.

    ¡°Wow, these greedy c*nts!¡±

    These people even had their own god weapons. Yet, they still wanted to hunt down Qin Feng to get more treasures.

    If they were not this greedy, they would most likely be basking in fame and glory right now.

    Then, as he saw the sheer amount of money they got from killing those A-tiers, Qin Feng smirked, ¡°What good timing. Just when we are penniless, these people flocked to us to give us their power credits. Well, since it¡¯s not our money to begin with... let¡¯s use up every penny of these in the auction tomorrow!¡±

    Indeed, it was just the first day of the Dusk Dragon Auction.

    This was a five-day event. As such, there were still going to be more items to be auctioned in the uing days. After that, Hell Ind would appear.

    Thus, Qin Feng and Bai Li had a restful night in their room. After learning what Qin Feng did, no one dared to attack him that night.

    Meanwhile, Guan Jinhau had received about ten requests that asked him to assassinate Qin Feng. Of course, he had declined all of them.

    He still wanted to live. Qin Feng was able to learn his Phantom Shift in a matter of seconds. And that girl, that weird Spatial-powered girl!!

    There was no way he would try to assassinate these two again. Hell no!

    ***

    The next day, when Qin Feng arrived at the Dusk Dragon Auction, he could feel that over hundreds of eyes were staring at him.

    Some of them were looking at him in awe; of course, there were also many that were ring at him with hatred.

    Qin Feng scanned his surroundings and saw that the people who were leering at him with anger were B-tiers. The A-tier that was leading these B-tiers noticed that Qin Feng was looking at them coldly. He quickly broke eye contact fearfully and shepherded the B-tiers away.

    Bai Li frowned. ¡°These are from the Human Alliance.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°One of the people I killed yesterday was an elder from an ancient warrior family. Or, it could have been one of their family members. So, it¡¯s quite natural for them to hate me!¡±

    Of course, Qin Feng felt nothing wrong in killing these people yesterday.

    The post-apocalyptic world was a dog-eat-dog world. If one dared to show mercy, he would lose and forever be damned.

    As such, no one would hesitate to kill one another in this world.

    And if they wanted to kill someone, they should always prepare for the consequences.

    And speaking of consequences... Qin Feng spotted Liu Hang from afar. Qin Feng smirked and walked to him.

    Cold sweat was rolling off of Liu Hang¡¯s forehead when he saw this. He did not know if he should flee or hide.

    ¡°Oh? Weren¡¯t you the one who told the others to chase after me yesterday? Why did you not join the chase back then? Are you all bark but no bite, hmm?¡± Qin Feng smirked.

 Chapter 751 - The Opening of Hell Island

    <h4>Chapter 751: The Opening of Hell Ind</h4>

    Liu Hang¡¯s face reddened out of embarrassment.

    More peoples¡¯ sights were fixed on him now.

    It was just human nature. When the enemy was simply too powerful to be dealt with, people would begin to shirk the responsibility and me their misfortune on someone else. That could alleviate, at least partly, their helplessness.

    ¡°Yes, I remember now. He is the whistleblower.¡±

    ¡°If not because of him, my father wouldn¡¯t have meddled in this sh*t.¡±

    ¡°He is just using us as cannon fodder!¡±

    Everyone was now ring at Liu Hang resentfully.

    Liu Hang¡¯s red face slowly turned pale. Qin Feng sneered and did not n to stay involved. He did not even bother to give Liu Hang another look. He had something else in mind.

    Before he went on to dere his remaining fund, Fire Phoenix had reached him first.

    ¡°Sir, wee to our auction center again. Because of your previous spending, we have upgraded you to VIP. In the next few days, there¡¯s no need for you to go through the deration process again. Just enter freely and this number te will be reserved for you until the end of the auction.¡±

    Fire Phoenix took out a number te that had 1-8 written on it.

    A single-digit number te. It showed that Dusk Dragon held Qin Feng in high regard.

    Qin Feng epted the number te and walked to his VIP room following Fire Phoenix¡¯s lead.

    It was arger room aspared to the previous. The decorations were grander too.

    Fire Phoenix said, ¡°Sir, you are now one of our most prestigious VIPs. Hence, you would be told about the goods we are auctioning a day before. You can also bid before everyone else. Of course, that doesn¡¯t apply to items being auctioned out today. Besides, you would still need to outbid other prestigious VIPs.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. He then received the auction list from Fire Phoenix.

    There was nothing that drew Qin Feng¡¯s attention today. He had zero interest in weapons since he could easily make one using the Magical Tesseract anytime he wanted.

    He then continued to look at the list and realized that the B-tier cores sold by Dusk Dragon were mostly of great quality. They were at least B5-tier and above.

    That meant the better ones were to be expected in theing days.

    After all, this was the Dusk Dragon that had Hell Ind in its grasp.

    Before Qin Feng was about to ask about it, Bai Li held his hand.

    ¡°Hubby, this one is not bad.¡±

    ¡°Oh? Which one?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s sight followed Bai Li¡¯s finger on the list and found that the Dusk Dragon was auctioning a secret dimension.

    He did not pay attention earlier. After being pointed out by Bai Li, he scanned the territory again and realized it was not a usual area.

    The territory was way smaller than the Battlegod Tomb, measured at about 100m3.

    However, it had a special feature. Time passed quicker inside the dimension.

    One day on the outside equaled one year inside.

    Such a territory was very rare to find. One would only spend one day in real-time to achieve one year¡¯s worth of training inside. Any aptitude users who spent roughly ten days inside would metamorphose into a sturdy veteran while the world remainedrgely the same.

    With such an alluring feature, Qin Feng voiced the doubt in his mind, ¡°If this territory is so great, why is the starting bid only set at 10 billion? In fact, the cut-off price is also rtively cheap at 100 billion.¡±

    All the items disyed had a fixed cut-off price tagged to them. This helped the auction center to ess the actual value of an item.

    Fire Phoenix said, ¡°I dare not hide it from you. You would know it anyway after you enter the territory. First, several spatial rifts are present inside the secret territory and could not be stabilized using spatial stones. There¡¯s thus a huge risk of staying inside as it would copse anytime. More importantly, you still experience time the same way while you are inside, meaning that you will age rapidly in there.¡±

    Life might not be important to some people, especially in this miserable world. Many would rather exchange their life for great power and wealth.

    But to Qin Feng, he was only 18 years old and his potential was at its peak now.

    Spending his next vibrant ten years inside the dimension would not help him drastically at the moment.

    On the other hand, this dimension suited Bai Li extremely well.

    To a spatial beast, Bai Li was only a three-year-old pup.

    Her life was measured by thousands and thousands of years. Twenty years was nothing significant inparison.

    As for the spatial rifts, that was exactly the thing Bai Li excelled in.

    Seeing that Bai Li and Qin Feng had fallen into silence, Fire Phoenix immediately added, ¡°But there¡¯s still some use to the secret territory. For instance, you can grow herbs or fruits quickly there. Valuable herbs that usually require thousands of years to harvest would rippen in three years there. It¡¯s highly profitable.¡±

    Of course, the most important thing was to have enough energy in there. But the territory had no other upside other than the quicker time flow. Fire Phoenix knew what to avoid and only promoted the advantage of the dimension.

    Qin Feng nodded and said, ¡°Alright, I will buy it.¡± He then took out one spatial equipment full of power credits and passed it to Phoenix.

    After that, Qin Feng said, ¡°I scanned through your list and found a lot of B-tier cores. I would like to have one hundred B-tier beast emperor cores as well.¡±

    Fire Phoenix was slightly surprised by Qin Feng¡¯s splurging spree.

    ¡®Was he convinced by me and is preparing the cores to grow herbs in there? This is rather impulsive.¡¯

    ¡®Anyway, I guess the money is earned from killing others. That money doesn¡¯t belong to him, to begin with, so it wouldn¡¯t ache him one bit to use them for an experiment.¡¯

    Fire Phoenix found a sensible reason to exin Qin Feng¡¯svish spending.

    What she did not know was that Qin Feng intended to use the cores to nurture a beast deity instead of herbs.

    Phoenix promptly called out the storage list of Dusk Dragon and selected one hundred beast cores ording to Qin Feng¡¯s request. Since they were all ranked as beast emperor tier, the price was much higher than other cores avable in other markets. A hundred of the cores cost Qin Feng 80 billion in the end. His funds had shrunk by 80% in one bill!

    Yet, he was still wealthier than most of the buyers in the event.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li did not stay in the center after they received the territory waymark.

    Back in their room, Qin Feng passed the beast deity core he purchased earlier to Bai Li. ¡°Just try your best. Don¡¯t force it if you can¡¯t break through this time. We will have a lot of opportunities in the future. Take this core with you.¡±

    Qin Feng had no use of the core at the moment. It was better to give it to Bai Li so that she had a chance to progress into the next tier. He did not mind even if it failed. Qin Feng had a lot of ways to find beast deity cores in the future.

    For instance, the Hundred-w in the East Sea should have evolved by now.

    Bai Li did not refuse after Qin Feng persuaded her. She brought the core along with her into the secret territory.

    Three days after that, Qin Feng did not leave the hotel and did not visit the auction center either.

    Now, no one would dare to disturb Qin Feng.

    On the fourth day, Hell Ind had officially been opened up.

 Chapter 752 - Evolutionâ€”B3-Tier

    <h4>Chapter 752: Evolution¡ªB3-Tier</h4>

    [Beep! Beep! Beep! Take note. Hell Ind has officially been opened. The spatial tunnel would stay open for two hours. Those who have tickets please be prepared.]

    Inside a giant basement, most people were covered under a ck cloak or at least had a mask on. They kept their heads low to avoid being seen while carefully sizing up other participants in there.

    There were more people in here than at the Dusk Dragon Auction.

    Qin Feng put on the helmet of the Sacred Armor on top of a in white mask. He had his true aura concealed using dark runes.

    Nevertheless, the people around him could still tell that he was only a B-tier. A few A-tiers had bumped into him due to the crowded area, and one of them gave him a challenging re.

    Ironically, they were the same group that was afraid of Qin Feng earlier.

    A lot of users knew how to conceal their aura with the dark runes. In fact, many inside the halls were using it. But there was a small group of people who refused to hide their power. In contrast, they tried to deter others with their robust presence.

    Qin Feng merged into the crowd. He had actually bought two tickets but he knew he had entered alone when he scanned the newly bought secret territory with his consciousness.

    Bai Li was fast asleep in there.

    The first thing Bai Li did after they brought back the time territory was to stabilize the spatial rifts inside. She then swallowed all the beast cores Qin Feng had given her, including the A-tier beast deity core that Qin Feng purchased from the auction.

    After that, Bai Li returned to her original fox form and went to sleep.

    However, she had been sleeping for way too long. Though from Qin Feng¡¯s perspective only four days had passed, Bai Li had actually slept for four straight years inside the secret territory.

    Bai Li¡¯s fox figure changed from day to day too. The silver fur had be gleamer. Nheless, her body size remained roughly the same. Because she had been frequently staying in her transfigured form, Bai Li seldom used her real body in battle. Perhaps her body had adapted to that and had thus chosen to evolve in a path that suited her battle style.

    In fact, Qin Feng felt that her body was getting smaller. Regardless, she was bing stronger by the day.

    When Qin Feng took a peek on the first day, Bai Li had reached B6. She then elevated to B7 the next, and B8 on the third day.

    Right now, she has broken through B9-tier.

    Probably in one more day, Bai Li would evolve into an A-tier beast deity.

    ¡°Quick, it¡¯s our turn!¡±

    A person¡¯s voice came into Qin Feng¡¯s ears. He retracted his consciousness and continued walking.

    The weirdest part of this underground pce was its middle zone. There was a thirty-meter-wide vortex there surrounded by silver spatial runes, while its center was filled by both silver and dark intercting whirlpools.

    It was called the Vortex Path to Hell.

    The channel was only safe at this time every year. It was still essible at other times but it required more effort and money. Thus, on most days, only members from Dusk Dragon were allowed to go in.

    However, Hell Ind was a truly perilous ce. Allowing more users to enter annually would help lower the danger level of the ce. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Dusk Dragon members to enter the dimension safely and consistently.

    As such, opening the Hell Ind to the outsiders, especially the A-tiers, killed two birds with one stone.

    Soon, the person queueing in front of Qin Feng quickly jumped down the vortex. It was Qin Feng¡¯s turn next.

    Qin Feng jumped with little hesitation and vanished into the highway to hell.

    He could not see anything as everything went ck in front of his eyes. An invisible force in the surroundings carried him further and further away from the original dimension. He lost sense of time in there and after a while, or perhaps a centuryter, the surroundings finally began to take shape.

    A scorching sun appeared abruptly in the sky. The atmospheric temperature was probably around 40 degree Celsius.

    He found himself plunging from midair.

    Underneath him was a borderless forest. He did not know what to expect as he had yet to expand his consciousness sensor.

    He approached the forest rapidly in a free fall. He aimed at an extended branch andnded on it carefully.

    This was when a vine suddenly wrapped around his leg and dragged him down forcefully before he could react.

    Qin Feng¡¯s physique was considered among the most elite in the human world. A force that even he could not resist was unreal.

    Qin Feng immediately drew out the Verdant Emperor Saber and cut the vines.

    However, multiple vines emerged and wrapped around his body instead.

    The vines continued to drag him under the canopy. He could now see clearly the inside of the forest.

    A giant, vivid flower twenty-meter-long was blossoming on the ground.

    Because of its mammoth size, the patterns on the petal could be seen clearly. White fluffs covering the petal were actually sharp thorns. Bodies of beasts could be seen hanging on the thorn with some that had dposed into bones. It was not a pleasant scene.

    The vines came right out from this giant flower. It extended up to a few hundred meters.

    A mutated nt that equalled a B-tier beast emperor.

    Qin Fengmented his misfortune in facing such a horrible creature this early.

    Sometimes, a mutated nt was scarier than a beast. This was especially true for nts that had attained beast emperor or beast king tier.

    Qin Feng gave up on struggling. Though the vines had tremendous force, Qin Feng was still safely protected by the Sacred Armor. The poisonous thorn on the vines could not hurt Qin Feng too. It only wrapped around Qin Feng tighter and tighter and brought Qin Feng in front of the mutated carnivorous nt.

    The giant petals of the flower enveloped Qin Feng to swallow him entirely.

    The reverse thorn on the petals tried to pierce through Qin Feng. Not only that but it also secreted white mucus that carried a strong pungent smell. Even breathing it in might corrode the respiratory tract.

    Qin Feng had long held his breath. Being surrounded by vibrant scarlet petals, Qin Feng unleashed his equally violent consciousness.

    ¡°Fire Wall!¡±

    Fire runes burst out from Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm. The fire boiled the white mucus and scorched the scarlet petal next. Lava then spurted out underneath Qin Feng and set the entire nt on fire.

    The nt gave out a horrible shriek.

    It quickly unwrapped its petal and chucked up Qin Feng and theva.

    Theva erupted into the sky forming a fire pir greater than a volcanic eruption. All the vines constricted around the flower to protect it.

    Qin Feng was not going to let the nt go. The Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand was ready to strike.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    The dark re traveled more than twenty meters and cut off all the vines in half.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Wall continued to burn and swallowed the broken vines which were only half-dead. He moved like a harvester and removed the vines rapidly.

    The me ravaged the giant flower beast in the middle of the forest and turned it into a pile of ashes.

    Buzz!

    Qin Feng¡¯s conscious power elerated quickly.

    After multiple battles and absorbing numerous consciousnesses from other ability users, his conscious power had already reached the critical point of breakthrough. With the death of the carnivorous flower, Qin Feng¡¯s ability made another leap.

    B3-tier!

 Chapter 753 - Perilous Hell Island

    <h4>Chapter 753: Perilous Hell Ind</h4>

    Qin Feng began his journey in Hell Ind with a rewarding first kill. He was happy to gain the nt beast¡¯s wooden core.

    Other users might have already paid with their lives if they were the onesnding in Qin Feng¡¯s spot.

    Most participants would usually tie themselves with theirrades before jumping into the vortex to increase the chance of survival. Since the spatial tunnel would open up at a random spot each time, roughly ten percent of the total participants were killed on the spot the moment they entered hell ind.

    ***

    Three B-tier aptitude users came out from the tunnel and found out they were plunging toward a swamp.

    Luckily, they saw a small piece ofnd that they couldnd on.

    However, the nd¡± suddenly turned around and transformed into a giant crocodile head. The three users were instantly swallowed by the maw.

    ***

    On the other side of the ind, a few A-tier aptitude users descended near the foot of a volcano. To their horror, a me red double-winged wyvern flew right above them.

    The wyvern¡¯s size was not very huge but its aura spelled danger. It was an A-tier beast deity.

    The few A-tiers quickly concealed their aura but the wyvern had already seen them.

    The beast tilted its head and opened its maw. In the next instant, a scary fire breath came gushing out from its mouth and drowned the few A-tiers.

    ***

    Horrible incidents like this happened in every corner of the ind. However, there were also people with a better fortune¡ªthose whonded beside rare herbs, or deceased aptitude users from the past that left behind their lifetime possessions.

    As for Qin Feng, he was still searching his way inside the jungle.

    There were some herbs and fruits around him that might be lucrative tomon aptitude users. But to Qin Feng, who had adventured the Divine Mountain and filled the entire Fengli City with Glittering Gold Sand, this was nothing.

    Other than the flora, the forest was also crammed with numerous mutated beasts.

    After Qin Feng walked out from the carnivorous flower¡¯s territory, he was immediately assaulted by a pack of mutated beasts that looked like wolves. There were a total of twenty beasts led by a B4-tier beast king. Other beasts were B2-tier beast generals.

    Such a group of ferocious beasts could easily tear apart and feast on a party of twenty B-tier users.

    Unfortunately, they had crossed paths with no ordinary man.

    Qin Feng took care of business swiftly and threw the bodies of the twenty beasts into his spatial equipment. He continued on with his search.

    He was stopped regrly along the way and enjoyed the hunting.

    To a lot of users, especially to the members of the Dark Coalition, beasts were hard to deal with.

    However, Qin Feng preferred to fight beasts more than humans. Humans were more well-trained and excel in fleeing whenever the situation turned bad. Beasts would flee instinctively too, but they could seldom outrun Qin Feng and offer less ethical trouble.

    Powerful B-tier mutated beasts inside the forest could not escape Qin Feng¡¯s ughter, not to mention the fearless C-tiers that jumped at Qin Feng recklessly.

    Though the forest seemed to be borderless at first nce, Qin Feng walked out of it rather quickly.

    He focused his consciousness on a mountain right in front of him. In his perception, the mountain appeared to be a treasure.

    It was a rocky mountain with little vegetation. On a closer look, the rocks were no ordinary rocks but a very rare type of ore.

    ¡®Sulphuron Crystal! Such a huge quantity at that!¡¯

    Qin Feng was astonished. He did not n to leave before emptying the entire mountain.

    A palm-sized Sulphuron Crystal was equivalent to the value of a B-tier herb. How much would it be worth for a mountain of them?

    Qin Feng triggered his consciousness and began to move the rock into his spatial equipment painstakingly.

    When he had only moved several tens of crystals, an imposing aura suddenly came into Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness range.

    Not only that but the aura was approaching swiftly. Qin Feng soon saw a dark figure appear on top of the rocky mountain.

    The figure was about five-meter-long and two-meter-high. It looked like a giant train. Qin Feng looked closer and realized it was a giant sized ant.

    ¡®Now I know why. This is the nest of Sulphuron Ants.¡¯

    Sulphuron Ants were a very tough species of insectoid. Each individual ant possessed the power of A2-tier and above. Sulphuron Crystal was costly because it was the excess energy excreted by the insectoid after they had absorbed natural forces.

    A-tier beasts were the pinnacle of existence on earth. One A-tier beast could only be defeated by the coboration of ten A-tier aptitude users. How many Sulphuron Ants were there with these many Sulphuron Crystals?

    Amid his thoughts, the mountain began to quake.

    One after another giant head came out from the other side of the mountain. Qin Feng¡¯s usually unmoved expression finally changed.

    They were countless Sulphuron Ants swarming toward him.

    His consciousness told him there were even more ants crawling out from inside the mountain. There were at least ten thousand of them.

    ¡®Time to go!¡¯

    Qin Feng immediately ran without a second thought.

    This was not something he could handle alone.

    However, the ants refused to let him loose easily. The scent of Sulphuron Crystals lingered around Qin Feng, making him unable to get rid of the pursuing ants easily.

    Though the crystals were excessive energy excreted by the ants, they kept the crystals as their reserves. Thus, the rocks were still important resources for the entire ant colony.

    Qin Feng infiltrated their nest and was robbing their reserves. It was unforgivable.

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    No one would believe that a group of ants could tremble thend. But when the group of ants was the size of a truck convoy, then the scene was truly something to behold.

    Qin Feng was forced to turn back into the forest facing such an unstoppable force. The ants had no intention to stop and chased right after him into the forest.

    The giant ants trampled the trees and marched on furiously.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    ¡°Shadow Leap!¡±

    Qin Feng tried everything to shake off the ants.

    After he ran for a few tens of kilometers, only three Sulphuron Ants were left chasing him. Qin Fen was surprised that they could actually match his full speed.

    ¡®The rest are probably noting. If that¡¯s the case, I will kill them here.¡¯

    Qin Feng drew his Verdant Emperor Saber and turned back to fight.

    The Sulphuron Ants were tougher than he expected. They were A2-tier beasts after all.

    ¡°Dark Laser!¡±

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    ¡®Die!¡¯

    Qin Feng exhausted arge portion of his internal force to finally break the ants¡¯ resilient shells.

    Boom!

    He finally put down thest ant.

    ¡°Phew!¡± Qin Feng let out a deep breath looking at the three corpses around him.

    ¡®It¡¯s better to avoid A-tier beasts next time! Man, this is tiring!¡¯

    These beasts could resist attacks using internal power with their bodies alone. If not because of the Verdant Emperor Saber¡¯s unique property, it might take more out of Qin Feng to defeat them. He had exhausted a great deal of his internal strength.

    Qin Feng owned 560 pools of internal strength but the battle and killing three A-tier beasts already cost him 50 pools. It would be difficult to fully replenish the lost energy if this went on.

    ¡®Eh!?¡¯ Before he could rx, his consciousness caught another approaching beast emperor.

 Chapter 754 - My Formidable Bai Li would Gain Me the World

    <h4>Chapter 754: My Formidable Bai Li would Gain Me the World</h4>

    It was a B-tier tiger-type beast emperor that probably lived alone.

    ¡®What a scary ce this ind is. But this also means that there are more opportunities here. The number of beast kings or superior beings is not as plenty on earth or other dimensions.¡¯

    Qin Feng was not traumatized by the early pursuit. He marched straight toward the beast emperor fearlessly.

    Without surprise, the beast emperor became yet another of Qin Feng¡¯s captures.

    To others, Hell Ind might be a nightmare. To Qin Feng, it was a rewarding paradise.

    Time passed by quickly and night arrived in no time. Qin Feng stopped hunting as the sky darkened.

    His gain on the first day was baffling.

    Qin Feng had no interest in sorting out the loot. He dumped everything into the spatial equipment. If there were no ce left, he would then dump the equipment into the Battlegod Tomb. Xue Xingfu would know what to do with it.

    He found a cave shelter and had his dinner in there. He then went into meditation and replenished his internal strength with some herbs.

    Qin Feng reopened his eyes when the moon was high in the sky.

    Bai Li was still fast asleep. Qin Feng recalled something and took out a piece of special runic equipment.

    The equipment worked like apass. Hell Ind was only opened for a month. Due to spatial restriction, the return waymark was only avable at the location pointed by the equipment.

    This was meaningless to Bai Li. But Qin Feng still decided to pay the ce a visit.

    The reason Dusk Dragon set up the waymark there was that they had taken control over a very powerful mutated nt.

    The Ancient Wisdom Tree!

    ording to the archeologist, this long-living tree existed at least a hundred thousand years ago. It was listed as S-tier but posed no threat to humans. In fact, it might even give anyone training underneath it its Sage Fruit.

    Sage Fruits could be used to enhance consciousness.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness potential had reached SS-tier. In fact, he knew a variety of ways to further boost the potential. Unfortunately, he was either too busy to look for it, or the said method had no effect on his power.

    Actually, Qin Feng was not the only oneing for the Ancient Wisdom Tree. He knew a lot of participants had risked their livesing into this hellish ce for the exact same purpose.

    ¡®I have never thought that the ce would be this far from the entry point. It would take at least another half a month to reach there. This is if there is no dy in between. I wonder how many people can make it to Dusk Dragon¡¯s stronghold in one piece.¡¯

    Of course, none of this would be a problem once Bai Li wakes up. Even if Bai Li continued to sleep throughout, Qin Feng was confident that he would make it there somehow. It so happened that his physique was on the brink of breaking through B3-tier. Qin Feng did not mind the long walk as he could train along the way.

    ¡®But then, it¡¯s such a waste to leave so many Sulphuron Crystals behind.¡¯ Qin Feng frowned.

    Suddenly, spatial runes began to swirl around Qin Feng. Then, a figure walked out from the tunnel carrying a formidable aura

    It was a divine and untouchable aura, different from anything Qin Feng had encountered before.

    The silver gleam slowly faded away and the figure finally revealed her alluring poise.

    ¡°Bai Li!¡± Qin Feng called out. She felt like an angel that was getting further and further away from him.

    Fortunately, Bai Li retracted her sacred aura quickly and returned to her yful self.

    ¡°Look, am I prettier now?¡±

    Qin Feng held back his urge tough and said, ¡°Yeah, you are definitely getting prettier.¡±

    Bai Li furrowed her brows and said unhappily, ¡°You are lying! You haven¡¯t even taken a good look at me. Quick, look at me.¡±

    Bai Li made a full spin and only did Qin Feng realize that she was wearing a new garment.

    The garment had some history to it. Yet, it did not feel torn but was instead a little ethereal. The silver lining on the clothing made it more mysterious.

    It did not seem to belong to any dimension, as far as Qin Feng was aware.

    Qin Feng asked astonishingly, ¡°Where did you get it from?¡±

    Bai LI replied, ¡°It is passed down to me through my bloodline. I remembered where to get it as soon as I evolved into a beast deity.¡±

    Spatial Beasts were truly a magnificent species. This was a form of safety switch employed by the beasts to protect their offspring. Nevertheless, neither Bai Li¡¯s mother nor grandmother could achieve beast deity status.

    Though they were no doubt powerful, wandering through different dimensions constantly did still invite a lot of fatal risks. There was a reason why spatial beasts were so rare nowadays.

    ¡°What tier is it?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s probably an S-tier armor ording to the human standard.¡± Bai Li answered.

    Besides, since it was an armor customized for a beast deity, the armor was equipped with a transfiguration feature. It could change to any form ording to its owner¡¯s wish, making it more convenient than the Sacred Armor.

    ¡°Not bad, not bad at all!¡± Qin Fengplimented.

    As for its look, Qin Feng cared little about it aspared to its functionality.

    Bai Li realized she was wasting her energy trying to amaze Qin Feng with the garment¡¯s aesthetics. Thus, she promptly turned the ethereal gauze into a white battle suit contrasted by a silver lining. The suit looked very simr to Qin Feng¡¯s Sacred Armor.

    After that, Bai Li raised her hands and a silver glowing sphere appeared in her hand.

    Apparently, her bloodline inheritance had also given her a god weapon.

    Without question, it was an S-tier weapon too.

    ¡°This is called Chiliad Orb. It was formed through merging countless spatial stones. Even until now, it could still absorb spatial energy. Speaking of which, there are ample unused spatial runes on earth. I could collect them and perhaps upgrade the orb into SS or even SSS tier!¡±

    Looking at how Bai Li was enthralled by the god weapon, Qin Feng rubbed her hair and said, ¡°Whatever you wish.¡±

    Just a bit more, and he would be powerful enough to give everything Bai Li wished for.

    Of course, first, he would like to see how far Bai Li had grown now.

    ¡°You came back at the right time. I will get to see you fight tomorrow.¡±

    ¡°Why wait? I can show you now. Just tell me who you wish to kill. Now, I can do it easily with a snap of my finger.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha!¡± Qin Feng cackled. Looking at how boastful Bai Li was, Qin Feng could only picture the threat-less, cute aspect of the little fox.

    However, to other creatures, such wordsing out from a beast deity was equal to a death sentence.

    ¡°Okay! Then, let¡¯s go now. They chased after me for a long stretch today.¡±

    Qin Feng put out the fire in front of them and led Bai Li to the Sulphuron mountain.

    It was time for revenge!

    ¡°Take all the Sulphuron Crystals!¡±

    ¡°Piece of cake!¡±

    Bai Li raised her hand and the orb immediately flew out of her hand. It formed a parabolic curve around Bai Li, which began to expand infinitely.

    The glowing curve continued to spread out and sliced the mountain.

    Instantly, the entire mountain was broken in half. Bai Li then waved her hand and the top half immediately disappeared in a snap.

    This was a literal representation of moving mountains!

 Chapter 755 - Swept Aside

    <h4>Chapter 755: Swept Aside</h4>

    The hill where the sulphuron was on had disappeared, thend became as t as a knife¡¯s de.

    On this tnd,rge holes began to appear one after another. At that moment, countless Sulphuron Ants began to pour out from the holes!

    It was almost like an upsurge from a fountain that spewed darkness.

    They detected Qin Feng¡¯s aura, and there were only two people nearby. The Sulphuron Ants frantically rushed toward Qin Feng and Bai Li like a ck wave that threatened to drown them.

    Qin Feng tensed up his body as he was about to enterbat. After all, Bai Li was by his side. As long as her spatial barrier was able to separate these ants, then he could still fight!

    Just before Qin Feng started fighting, Bai Li waved the orb in her hands again!

    Qin Feng could feel the space in front of him suddenly copsing in an instant.

    The iing Sulphuron Ants looked like they were suddenly pressed down by some kind of force! Suddenly, they were bing as t as pancakes.

    It was a weird scene to behold.

    During this state, Bai Li withdrew her ability and released these Sulphuron Ants. The moment that ured was when Qin Feng¡¯s ability began to churn.

    In the next instant, a seemingly unending amount of energy was absorbed into Qin Feng¡¯s body from the corpses of the Sulphuron Ants.

    Sulphuron Ants had the toughest exoskeletons and being ant-type ultra beasts meant that their strength was a hundred times stronger than what they seemed.

    When this characteristic was turned into pure energy and added into Qin Feng¡¯s body, it meant that his body was full of explosive power.

    The body that was originally about to activate finally broke through its barrier and ascended into a stronger state.

    B3-tier!

    Qin Feng¡¯s aura swelled once again.

    At this time, more Sulphuron Ants began to emerge from the holes.

    Not only that, some of these ants had wings and marked that these were the beast kings whenpared to the usual beast generals.

    Boom boom boom!

    A loud sound rang out and the ground where the holes were immediately copsed as arger figure burst out from the ground.

    This Sulphuron Ant had a red body, an obvious difference from the other ants. It even had eight pairs of dragonfly wings on its back that made it dazzling and colorful.

    A3-tier Sulphuron Ant Emperor!

    This was definitely a formidable enemy. Although it was nothing as terrifying as the Glutton Leviathan or the other sea beasts, it was definitely one of the most powerful ultra beasts that Qin Feng had encountered since his rebirth.

    His previous encounter with the Glutton Leviathan was won through cleverness and guile. This time, this was a direct confrontation!

    The sheer presence of this beast emperor made it hard to breathe.

    At this time, Bai Li suddenly made a move.

    Whoosh!

    She disappeared from where she stood and fell onto the Sulphuron Ant Emperor¡¯s back.

    Shing!

    Four rays of light burst out and the Sulphuron Ant Emperor¡¯s eight pairs of wings were sliced through in an instant, falling down like glittering shredded yarn.

    The moment Bai Li waved her hands, she immediately removed her opponent¡¯s wings.

    ¡°Skreeeeech!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s action let the ant emperor know about her strength. This was actually a beast deity!

    Among the ultra beasts, they had a strict hierarchy. Conflict urred when they were hunting prey, or when they were contesting one another for spirit herbs for food. They would not dare challenge an ultra beast that was a rank above them!

    What was an emperor to a deity?

    The Sulphuron Ant Emperor immediately began to retreat!

    However, despite how hard it tried to run away, how would it have been able to avoid Bai Li, who had spatial ability?

    Bai Li raised her hand and pressed it down onto the ant emperor¡¯s head.

    Following Bai Li¡¯s movements, the ball of light naturally floated along andnded on the Sulphuron Ant Emperor¡¯s head.

    Countless cracks surfaced on its head in an instant, tearing open the ant emperor¡¯s head!

    As the spatial runes erupted, it instantly cut right through the head¡¯s armor and revealed the pale while flesh beneath!

    ¡°Sskkreeeehhhh!¡±

    The Sulphuron Ant Emperor let out a pained shriek, trying to get Bai Li off but there was nothing it could do.

    This battle had been doomed to this end from the very beginning!

    Qin Feng saw everything in front of him and was no longer alert nor had the desire to fight, instead he became rxed. He had seen Bai Li unt her strength like this before and clearly saw for himself just how powerful she was!

    ¡°Now where have I seen this before?¡±

    Qin Feng smirked as he remembered Xiao Huang who was still being taken care of by Zhou Hao. The other was also an ant queen, but it too was broken and battered under Bai Li¡¯s hand.

    He was not nning on keeping this ultra beast, so he did not say anything as Bai Li crushed her opponent¡¯s head.

    Boom!

    The huge body of the Sulphuron Ant Emperor crashed down, at this time the other Sulphuron Ant generals and kings smelled a special scent and swarmed toward the ant emperor¡¯s direction.

    As long as they could ess and consume the ant emperor¡¯s tough shell then they would be able to evolve into beast emperors, they would never give up!

    It was just that the moment they got closer, the entire legion was crushed into a paste by Bai Li¡¯s power!

    A battle without suspense!

    ¡°Hubby, what do you think? Am I good or what?¡± Bai Li said.

    ¡°Heh, amazing. My little fox is absolutely the most amazing!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Bai Li shifted her eyes and asked, ¡°Then, do you think I can beat that Z person now?¡±

    Qin Feng was taken aback.

    Unexpectedly, Bai Li was still thinking about defeating Z!

    ¡°To tell the truth, it¡¯s obvious that Z¡¯s Spirit Warrior martial arts is indeed strange. It should not be underestimated. Let¡¯s be on the safe side and be careful. The moment I reach A-tier, I can definitely take him on!¡± Qin Feng said.

    When Bai Li heard that, she pouted her lips in disappointment. In fact, she harbored a vengeful heart. The first time Z chased her down with the intent of killing them, the second time Z stole the kill of the Cinderpine away from them and the third time he ckmailed them, saying that they owned him a favor!

    Needless to say, Bai Li could not wait to get stronger now so she could brutally defeat Z!

    ¡°Haha, we still have a chance and it won¡¯t be for long. Let¡¯s pack things up and continue on!¡± Qin Feng said.

    As night time was no problem for Qin Feng and he did not feel tired for the time being, so he simply took Bai Li along and moved closer to the Ancient Wisdom Tree. Maybe that might bring him some benefits in advance!

    Bai Li did not continue debating about the issue with Z and started to pack up.

    What she did not realize was that when her back was turned, Qin Feng snuck a nce at her and smiled.

    He knew that she wanted to fight Z, but he wanted to vent too!

    In the end, this was the little fox¡¯s idea. Qin Feng decided that he needed to pick up the pace and not let the little fox wait for too long. Not to mention, when the time came, he wanted to let Z taste pain!

 Chapter 756 - Fire Dragon Mohrian

    <h4>Chapter 756: Fire Dragon Mohrian</h4>

    With a being like Bai Li, the two were able to rush their way forward. Wherever they went they left a trail of corpses in their wake!

    Qin Feng killed until it became pitch ck, previously it was said that Qin Feng had a bloodthirsty air about him, but now that aura was slowly being shifted into the smell of wild beasts¡¯ blood.

    With so many beasts being in, he was constantly getting sprayed at with fresh blood. Even with the aid of the Sacred Armor, this aura was one that could not be suppressed.

    As he racked up his kills, he began to give off a dangerous aura.

    Meanwhile, Bai Li did not have that kind of aura. Maybe her methods were too discreet or maybe it was the overwhelming beast deity¡¯s aura, but it was impossible for her to get tainted by the blood of the ultra beasts she yed.

    Her speed was unmatched, if it were not for them hunting down and fighting any beast they encountered along the way they would have arrived at Dusk Dragon¡¯s stronghold a long time ago!

    Even so, the speed of these two only took seven days toplete a journey that would have taken at least half a month.

    At this point, the space between Qin Feng and Bai Li was littered with ultra beast corpses. From the B-tier beast emperors alone, Qin Feng had imed the heads of up to no less than thirty of them and Bai Li even killed about seven or so A-tier beast emperors!

    The money Bai Li used to buy the crystal core had long been earned back!

    Not only that, Hell Ind had powerful beasts guarding hoards of very potent spirit herbs. As long as their living conditions were not too drastic, they would get picked up by Bai Li and ced into her space. It was also full of ultra beast crystal cores as well. Later down the line, Bai Li took some of these treasures out and ate them like they were fruit!

    ¡°Two hundred kilometers onward and we¡¯ll reach our destination!¡± Qin Feng scanned the map given to him by the Dusk Dragon group.

    Bai Li let out an affirmative noise but a sudden thought in her mind made her look up into the sky.

    At this moment, a ck dot appeared within their line of sight.

    As the ck dot got bigger and bigger, both of them could see it clearly. It was a blood red creature with a massive body that measured up to five hundred meters from head to tail. With its wings outstretched it looked as if it could eclipse the Sun.

    Qin Feng instinctively held his breath.

    Some creatures had be a local legend.

    The reason why the Dusk Dragon group had a foothold on Hell Ind was because their S-tier aptitude user came over and yed an A-tier beast deity, a ck dragon.

    The ck Dragon Stone in the Dark Citadel was reverse engineered using the dragon¡¯s scales.

    In fact, the most powerful beings on the ind would be draconic ultra beasts.

    At the same time, dragons lived on the ind due to the abundance of natural resources and were always on top of the food chain, allowing them to develop properly.

    In this moment the Fire Dragon folded its wings and plunged into the forest, causing a mountain-shaking tremor before rising into the air again. In its powerful hind paws, it clung onto a massive creature.

    It turned out to be a B8-tier Mammoth Emperor!

    This turned out to be the Fire Dragon¡¯s food.

    ¡°That must be what the Dusk Dragon group calls Mohrian!¡± Qin Feng breathed.

    An elite beast deity with extraordinary intellect would gain its own name!

    The Fire Dragon Mohrian was not very far from the Dusk Dragon¡¯s stronghold. After their S-tier killed the ck Dragon, they even made a deal with Mohrian.

    Of course, if there was a chance, they would try to kill Mohrian as well!

    At this time Bai Li shifted her eyes, perking up.

    ¡°Hubby, we can kill that and extract its beast deity crystal core. It has a fire type crystal core, no doubt it¡¯d be very useful!¡± Bai Li eximed.

    Qin Feng could not help himself from grimacing and said, ¡°Alright alright, don¡¯t think about trying to fight Mohrian. Its strength might be equal to yours, and right now the gain isn¡¯t worth the loss!¡±

    Bai Li was obviously unhappy. ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate spatial beasts! Nobody is the same level as I am!¡±

    Qin Feng quickly put a hand on Bai Li¡¯s shoulder, afraid that she might just charge forward.

    ¡°But Mohrian is a beast deity that¡¯s been around for who knows how long. ording to the Dusk Dragon, he¡¯s A5 tier. If we both were A-tier, then that¡¯d be alright! You have only just reached A-tier!¡±

    She had not even reached A1-tier yet!

    Bai Li was a little disappointed and checked the crystal cores in her space. Unfortunately, there were not enough A-tier crystal cores for her to reach A5-tier, there was not even enough for A1-tier.

    For now, she had to put the idea of taking on the huge Fire Dragon on ice for the time being.

    Qin Feng had no desire to try and take on Mohrian, taking Bai Li with him as they advanced forward.

    In Mohrian¡¯s territory, there were still many B-tier beast emperors. In fact, the mammoth that it had just in traveled in herds. Due to Mohrian appearing, the beasts began to stampede, and in their wild panic they began to rush toward Qin Feng¡¯s position.

    The bodies of these beasts were three-stories tall and they caused the ground to shake as they rumbled forward. Qin Feng and Bai Li were right in their path.

    What they saw were at least seven to eight beast kings and at least a hundred beast generals.

    The most important thing was that these mammoths were astoundingly powerful in a fight. Their tusks looked like they could pierce rocks and their speed betrayed their size.

    Boom boom boom!

    The mammoths rushed forward.

    Surrounding them were countless earth runes, violently shocking the ground below.

    All manner of things were trampled in their path.

    Qin Feng drew the Verdant Emperor Saber and rushed forward without hesitation.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    A mammoth could not stand against the force of the Verdant Emperor Saber and its huge head was cut off in an instant.

    Pfft!

    Blood sprayed out for more than ten meters, filling the air with its stench. This pungent smell filled the air, irritating the mammoth beast generals and turning their bloodshot eyes toward the culprit.

    The initial panic had dissipated and they knew that the Fire Dragon had left!

    As such, they directed all their hatred toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Bahruuuhaaa!¡±

    A Mammoth beast king roared andrge stones flew into the air before crashing down toward Qin Feng.

    Swish swish swish swish!

    Qin Feng activated Phantom Shift and easily weaved through the mammoth herd.

    Pfft pfft!

    It was like entering no-man¡¯snd with how the earth was shaking, but it was shaking due to the mammoths dropping to the ground!

    However, with the mammoths¡¯ huge body and their earth runes flying about, the skirmish kicked up dust and rock that made it impossible for anyone to see just what on earth was going on.

    At that time, there were people lurking in the outskirts of this battle.

    There were A-tiers and also some B-tiers.

    A few of them were inconspicuous, all wrapped up in dark cloaks and oozed a deeply chilling killing intent. All of their weapons were light des, some were daggers some were shortswords.

    These people could be judged from their temperament alone!

    They were murderers!

    However, it looked like they were obviously a makeshift team!

    ¡°Looks like prey has delivered itself to the door, how unlucky to actually meet a mammoth stampede!¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that a good thing? Once the corpse has been turned into meat paste all we need to do is collect their spatial rune equipment!¡±

    ¡°Hehe, if that¡¯s the case then its firste first serve!¡±

 Chapter 757 - The Tables Have Turned

    <h4>Chapter 757: The Tables Have Turned</h4>

    There were a total of four of them. These people hailed from different organizations, some were lone wolves and one of them was a member from the other Human Alliances.

    At this time of year, it had be their hunter¡¯s banquet.

    In Hell Ind, besides Dusk Dragon¡¯s stronghold, everywhere was safe. In the wilderness, the most dangerous thing was encountering other humans. That might cause a desperate fight at any time!

    These people were the model of boldness and ruthlessness. They were aligned with the Dark Coalition and they would fight tooth and nail until the end!

    However, among these four there was one person left who did not speak.

    His eyes were more sullen than ever, then he suddenly smiled casually.

    ¡°Haha, about that, I suddenly realised something. I¡¯ll be leaving now!¡±

    The other three were taken aback for a moment. There was a great opportunity in front of them, why did the other not wait?

    However, this one¡¯s movements and stealth methods were among the strongest of the four. With just the blink of an eye they hadpletely lost sight of him!

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why did Guan Jinhau run away?¡±

    ¡°Something¡¯s not right, that guy, didn¡¯t he say firste first serve? Did he rush ahead?¡±

    ¡°Guan Jinhau! You¡¯re a cunning one!¡±

    These people got anxious, starting to use their assorted stealth methods and rushed toward the heart of the battle.

    Even though none of them had the means to fight the mammoths, they had a few self-preservation techniques. More importantly, none of the mammoths realized that they were there!

    When they rushed toward the battle, Guan Jinhau, who was nning on leaving early, was dumbfounded.

    ¡°Are these people insane?¡± Guan Jinhau did not expect it at all. When he wanted to escape, everyone else ran forward to die!

    In the middle where the mammoths were fighting, it had be a terrifyingnd of earthen spikes. Rocks swirled like a churning storm above their heads, making it impossible for people to move through the air.

    It almost eliminated other beasts¡¯ means of escape. However, if Bai Li and Qin Feng wanted to run, no creature would be able to stop them. More importantly, Qin Feng did not need to escape.

    sh!

    ck me erupted from the Verdant Emperor Saber and pierced a mammoth¡¯s hide.

    At this time, the three killers thought that Qin Feng was making hisst stand, but they did not expect to see such a scene.

    Someone was challenging a group of ultra beasts all by himself, his feet moved like the wind and there were up to a hundred thousand phantom versions of them floating around.

    These people were dumbstruck.

    ¡°How is that possible? He knows the Phantom Shift?¡±

    ¡°He definitely isn¡¯t Guan Jinhau!¡±

    ¡°No way, Guan Jinhau didn¡¯te here at all. He was avoiding the battle. This is terrifying power!¡±

    Now, these people began to feel regret.

    However, the surrounding aura could not be felt from the outside and the moment they got in, they learned to their horror that they could not escape!

    Zzzzt!

    Sharp spikes burst out of the ground, trying to pierce them. Large cracks tore through the air, emitting some kind of attractive force that seemed to hold people down on the ground, trying to bind them!

    At this point, Qin Feng had noticed these people.

    ¡°Oh? Trying to take advantage of me?¡± Qin Feng immediately locked onto them.

    After a quick sweep, he recognized the identity of the other people!

    They were all famous killers!

    With that in mind, Qin Feng shed a chilling grin.

    ¡°You think me somemb? If that¡¯s the case then you will be my feed!¡± Qin Feng had been inbat for a long time. The Verdant Emperor Saber might be an A-tier god weapon but it still consumed internal force to use. He had exhausted a lot of his internal force, which was enough to fight the mammoths but when someone came over to deliver internal force to him, he would not say no!

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    In an instant, he separated hundreds of phantoms from the pack and rushed toward one of the killers in an instant.

    There were still Giant Mammoths around the killers and they were still hostile toward Qin Feng. Upon seeing him rush over, they unleashed their powerful earth abilities.

    Qin Feng surrounded himself with internal force, taking the blows. His internal force was strong enough that he would be able to withstand the force.

    However, the other killers did not have such resistance!

    ¡°Aaah!¡±

    No matter how strong that killer was, he could not survive such a barrage of abilities. He was damaged by some of the earth spikes and his body was affected by the earth runes which made him feel extremely heavy!

    Qin Feng used Phantom Shift to quickly approach, appearing next to the killer.

    A darkness washed over the man, making him feel weak.

    In the next moment, a palm was ced on his back.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    In that instant, the killer felt that his dantian had a hole broken through it and internal force was quickly flowing out!

    All this internal force was being absorbed by Qin Feng!

    An A3-tier killer, his three seas worth of internal force would be 30 pools worth of internal force. That would supplement the internal force that Qin Feng¡¯s dantian had used up.

    The moment the killer lost his internal force, he no longer had any power to resist!

    The resulting backflow in his meridians made him unable to control his body. Earth spikes burst through the ground again!

    ¡°Aaagh!¡±

    The killer let out a scream.

    Pfft!

    Earth spikes pierced through his body as it continued to rise, instantly tearing into the killer¡¯s corpse!

    A powerful A-tier killer was yed just like that.

    At this moment, Bai Li who had been hiding in her space made her move.

    It was a simple move, a dozen sparks of silver light appeared on the killer¡¯s body and when the others looked they naturally knew what those were.

    It was the killer¡¯s spatial rune equipment!

    This equipment naturally was not the killer¡¯s own equipment, they obtained these by intercepting and killing other people throughout the days.

    Now, all that effort was going to benefit someone else!

    That was because, since Qin Feng killed that guy, he could easily kill the rest of them!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had already been transferred onto them.

    These two suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

    ¡°Retreat!¡±

    ¡°Fallback Technique!¡± A killer called on his internal force to activate his stealth technique.

    At this time, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness could not lock onto him, and his speed was even more terrifying!

    Not even an S-tier ancient martial arts would be able to keep up with that speed!

    However, at that moment, a silver light appeared in front of him!

    In the next moment, the killer reappeared again and mmed right into Qin Feng¡¯s body!

    He was at a loss, he was just running away a second ago! How did he run into Qin Feng?

    Qin Feng knew why!

    Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability!

    These two had been together for about three years and had a tacit understanding on what either person wanted to do.

    Qin Feng did not even think and raised the Verdant Emperor Saber.

 Chapter 758 - Arriving At Dusk Dragonâ€™s Stronghold

    <h4>Chapter 758: Arriving At Dusk Dragon¡¯s Stronghold</h4>

    The killer¡¯s secret technique was still activated, his body bursting with energy as he rapidly sped away and moved past Qin Feng in an instant.

    After running for a few meters, his neck was suddenly detached from his body!

    Instantaneous death!

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion, Attract!¡±

    Qin Feng raised a palm and dragged the other¡¯s body back, causing the man¡¯s internal force to surge into Qin Feng¡¯s dantian!

    An A2-tier killer, the equivalent of 20 pools worth of internal force.

    All of the internal force he had spent earlier had been replenished, with a little bit of excess to spare.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡± Qin Feng activated his movement ability, evading the iing attacks from the mammoths and dashed to the third killer¡¯s side.

    The third killer could barely dodge the mammoths¡¯ attacks. Now that Qin Feng had locked onto him, he had no means of defending himself.

    ¡°Guan Jinhau! This is your fault!¡±

    The killer howled, unwilling to ept his current situation.

    Qin Feng raised a brow but he did not stay his hand and went on with cutting the killer down.

    At this time, Guan Jinhau, who had been watching the scene unfold, quietly cursed. He did not want to stay any longer and began to flee the area.

    ¡°You¡¯re the ones who want to kill people, what are you calling me out for? Now you¡¯re putting the me on me? That Qin Feng knows I¡¯m close by now, I need to run!¡±

    If other enemies were to appear, even if they were S-tier, Guan Jinhao was confident that he would escape with the use of Phantom Shift.

    Now that Qin Feng knew Phantom Shift and it turned out to be even better than his, his confidence was not what it used to be!

    ¡°It really is as the saying goes, ¡®A well-taught disciple will starve their master¡¯!¡±

    Guan Jinhau silently cursed again, but Qin Feng would never admit that he was qualified to be considered as a tutor!

    Qin Feng was not even sure if Guan Jinhau was nearby. After all, the man had been very careful in not getting too close to the area. It could be possible that the person saw Qin Feng¡¯s phantoms andmented about it.

    It was only based on intuition that he believed the man was nearby.

    After all, it wasmon for killers to do things like this.

    It seemed like Qin Feng was going to be the one benefiting from their efforts in the end.

    It did not exactly have that feeling like a fisherman¡¯s haul in terms of profit, but it would do. All of these people¡¯s stuff would line Qin Feng¡¯s pockets!

    After taking care of the three killers, Qin Feng turned his attention back to the mammoths. They were all ughtered like penned chicken!

    Gradually, these mammoths¡¯ numbers were sheared in half, resulting in a huge loss in their territories. There were not even enough of them to maintain the rock storm above!

    The scent of blood permeated the air, filling their hearts with a sense of panic as the mammoths began to retreat!

    One, two...

    Ten, twenty...

    The mammoths finally regained their senses and paid a heavy price for it. Now, they had no choice but to flee.

    Qin Feng did not pursue them. While these big guys may look like a cumbersome bunch, with the earth ability they basically skated across thend and were difficult to catch up to.

    ¡°Clean this up!¡±

    This time, Qin Feng was really helpless. These Giant Mammoths were too big. Before his rebirth he would have definitely spent his time chopping off their tusks and carving out their crystal cores, he would even work on skinning them.

    Fortunately, this time he had Bai Li. She stored them all away inside her space to be taken care of once they returned to Fengli City.

    That being said, this kind of harvest would have been otherwise impossible to umte on this Earth.

    After clearing the battlefield, Qin Feng and Bai Li went on their way.

    As they went past Fire Dragon Mohrian¡¯s territory, the surrounding beasts became lower and lower in terms of strength and rarely saw any A-tier ultra beasts. More C-tier beasts had started to appear!

    That was because they had reached the Dusk Dragon¡¯s territory.

    From a distance away, Qin Feng could already see the mountain top and on the peak was a lone pine tree.

    The Dusk Dragon¡¯s stronghold was in the centermost area shrouded by giant cypress and pine trees. It could even be said that these giant trees acted as the stronghold¡¯s shelter!

    The Ancient Wisdom Tree!

    ¡°There¡¯s good stuff!¡± Bai Li¡¯s eyes lit up immediately and began sniffing the air.

    Qin Feng smirked and said, ¡°The fruit of the Ancient Wisdom Tree is naturally a good thing. However, don¡¯t take those with force. They are given as gifts. If you annoy the tree then there would be dire consequences!¡±

    Qin Feng knew that if the Dusk Dragon could establish a city that rivaled the Dragon Capital and be the number one Dark Coalition force in Huaxia it meant that they had more than one S-tier.

    ording to urban legend, there were more than three, but one of them had already been crippled.

    It was an ability user. Once upon a time, he forcibly took a fruit from an Ancient Wisdom Tree. While he seeded, after he ate the fruit his intellect instantly plummeted into the equivalent of a single digit.

    The Ancient Wisdom Tree that rewarded its fruit would greatly enhance the talents of an ability user or an ancient warrior. It made it easier to be able to absorb the methods within their understanding, allowing them an easier time to master their powers.

    That being said, their intelligence was greatly improved as well.

    That was why these trees gained the name Ancient Wisdom Tree!

    ¡°Alright alright, I get it, but since I¡¯m so smart, the Ancient Wisdom Tree will definitely give me something!¡± Bai Li said.

    Qin Feng nodded. It was hard to stay, the tree¡¯s fruits affected everyone differently. Although the general effects were the same, there was always something else that would ur that would benefit each individual.

    He knew that the best effect was gaining twin elemental abilities.

    An ability user that mastered one element was impressive enough, managing to master another ability, other than the use of the Ancient Wisdom Tree, was something Qin Feng had not heard of before.

    ¡°This effect doesn¡¯t have any use to me. With the dark absorption ability, I can master other elements now!¡±

    Fire, earth, water!

    However, there was always an exception.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li finally reached the foot of the Dusk Dragon stronghold¡¯s mountain. At this time other aptitude users could be seen!

    Several A-tier aptitude users noticed Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    ¡°Eh? What good luck, looks like there¡¯s a pair of little B-tiers arriving!¡±

    ¡°Maybe everyone else is dead and they¡¯re the only survivors!¡±

    ¡°After we kill them, there¡¯s bound to be a lot of good loot on them!¡±

    All of these aptitude users were A-tiers. This kind of extortion was the norm here, it was the B-tiers¡¯ fault for being weak and letting themselves get bullied.

    At this moment, some of these people¡¯s moods changed when they saw the face of who was approaching.

    ¡°Are you out of your mind? Don¡¯t you see who that B-tier is?¡±

    ¡°Not every B-tier is the same! Beware, there are some iron walls!¡±

    ¡°Curses! It¡¯s that lunatic, move quickly, don¡¯t let him see us. If he remembers our faces from thest time we tried to ambush him, he mighte for revenge!¡±

    ¡°Go go go!¡±

    These people immediately turned tail and scuttled away, leaving behind those who had no idea who Qin Feng was. Even they did not dare make a move, even their originally scheming gazes had been turned away.

    Qin Feng ignored the other people, taking Bai Li along toward the Ancient Wisdom Tree.

 Chapter 759 - The Life Changing Sage Fruit

    <h4>Chapter 759: The Life Changing Sage Fruit</h4>

    At the Dusk Dragon¡¯s stronghold, apart from some houses in designated locations, there were no hotels because those were not needed.

    Everyone had set up little tents under the Ancient Wisdom Tree, to cultivate here and to live here!

    At this point, there were tents set up one after another under the Ancient Wisdom Tree but were positioned at a rtively safe distance from each other. Some tents were set up close together to take care of each other.

    It was just that everyone had their own suspicions and they were all on guard against everyone else.

    At this moment, Qin Feng happened to see a familiar face.

    ¡°Oh? What a coincidence, meeting this gentleman again!¡± Qin Feng smiled and walked over with Bai Li.

    Liu Hang forced his face into a smile, but it looked worse than if he were crying.

    He did not think this was a coincidence and even cried out in his heart, ¡®Why is he here again? This is basically a haunting that refuses to go away, stoping over to bother me!¡¯

    It was a pity that Qin Feng was unable to know his inner thoughts, not only that he maintained his smile and continued, ¡°Until now, I still don¡¯t know your name, Mister!¡±

    Liu Hang¡¯s forehead began to break out into sweat.

    ¡°No, no need to know my name. I¡¯m not acquainted with you!¡±

    ¡°Always running into one another is also a kind of fate. After a few times, you¡¯re bound to be acquainted!¡± Qin Feng chuckled, ¡°Also, I¡¯ve got something to ask if you don¡¯t mind. I see that there aren¡¯t many spaces around and your spot is not bad. Could you perhaps move aside and give me some space?¡±

    Liu Hang was here alone, but because he was A-tier everyone else set up their tents about twenty meters away from him. Qin Feng wanted him to move maybe about ten meters away, which meant that he would be able to set up camp here as well.

    How could Liu Hang disagree, although his heart roared in a frenzy, he was still terrified of Qin Feng!

    Especially because Qin Feng still had that murderous aura from before that had been amplified by the scent of ultra beast blood. It looked like he had seen plenty of battle on the road!

    This person was too strong! He should not be provoked!

    When he made his move, Liu Hang thought for a moment that his life was going to end.

    ¡°No worries, I was just about to leave, this ce can be yours!¡± Liu Hang hurriedly said.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°Are you turning your back on me, Mister? I arrive and you leave. That won¡¯t look so good. Don¡¯te back after you leave, or else that¡¯d look even worse on you!¡±

    Liu Hang¡¯s heart sobbed, he could not even try to leave.

    The way Qin Feng said that made him feel like if he did leave, he would not be able toe back. Liu Hang could note up with an excuse for that!

    ¡°Then, then I¡¯ll just move a little!¡± Liu Hang said, there were a thousand thoughts racing through his mind and none of them wanted to be neighbours with Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng had a reason for having Liu Hang stay!

    While he was not afraid of any A-tiers, with Bai Li at his side he could take on hundreds of people!

    However, this obvious waste of time and dy on his own affairs was so that he would stay in line and not provoke too many people, he did not want people to see himing off as aggressive.

    That way he would not aggravate the general public here.

    Liu Hang moved a little distance away while Qin Feng and Bai Li naturally set up their tent. For the next dozen days, this ce would be their home.

    Of course, during the day everyone would go out hunting. Only at night when it was quieter would it be suitable for cultivation. In that state, the Ancient Wisdom Tree would grant its fruit.

    At that time, the sun was beginning to set and it was slowly crawling into the evening. Aptitude users were gradually returning and some of them had started cooking.

    Qin Feng was also in a good mood as he chopped up a piece of Giant Mammoth beast king meat and put it on a grill as Bai Li stared at the side, drooling.

    After a delicious meal, it was night time!

    The Ancient Wisdom Tree gave off a faint glow and its fruit shone with a bright white light as they reflected across one another in the moonlight. In fact, these fruits looked like crystals.

    People began to lower their voices and sat down cross-legged. Ability users began to meditate, the ancient warriors channeled their internal force and the gunner, the only gunner, used a special consciousness training method to exercise their consciousness.

    Suddenly, amongst the crowd, a cry of rm came.

    A crystal fruit was falling.

    This happened at the very edge of the tree, where all the B-tier aptitude users were!

    The fruit drifted down slowly but nobody dared rush up to snatch it otherwise that fruit would turn out to be poisonous.

    At this time, a person was sitting cross-legged in the crowd as he was shrouded in the same light that the fruit was reflecting. Eventually, he felt something about him and saw theyer of radiance as he opened his eyes.

    Then, the fruit fell into his arms with a swish!

    The man¡¯s eyes widened, he did not expect to have such good luck!

    This was just a B1 tier gunner.

    Soon, he took a bite out of the fruit without hesitation. The A-tiers that got up and originally nned to go over to snatch it all stopped, but gave the person a sinister look.

    What followed was the man quickly letting out an exmation.

    ¡°The Consciousness Core! Is this the Consciousness Core? I- I¡¯ve be an ability user!¡±

    The man grinned from ear to ear, his face flushed with the color of ecstasy.

    It was very rare for a gunner to reach B-tier and impossible for them to reach A-tier without being exceedingly lucky and there were no weapons powerful enough for that.

    However, once one had obtained the Consciousness Core, things became different!

    This man could very likely reach A-tier in the future!

    ¡°The Ancient Wisdom Tree really is amazing, but only when you reach a certain amount of strength you would be able to obtain such an amazing item. Before my rebirth, even though I reached A-tier, I wouldn¡¯t daree to the ces owned by the Dusk Dragon!¡±

    Although the B-tier was on the other edge, after obtaining the Sage Fruit, an A-tier aptitude user swiftly approached. The two obviously knew each other, and their appearance was very simr.

    This must be a father and son.

    Moreover, these two people must have been part of the Dark Coalition considering that they did not bother trying to hide their faces.

    As a member of the Human Alliance before his rebirth, Qin Feng would not have dared to set foot in the ce even if he was a Mercenary Lord!

    ¡°That¡¯s naturally different now! I have to try too, and see if I can get a Sage Fruit!¡±

    Qin Feng sat cross-legged and thought for a moment before starting to meditate on the Asteroid Assimtion technique!

    For him, ancient martial arts was definitely his strongest power.

    Qin Feng calmed his heart and began to practice!

    While he had absorbed all of the three A-tier aptitude users he fought earlier, he used their internal force and exhausted it during the fight. Qin Feng¡¯s internal force did not get stronger, but it needed to be restored.

    This practice made Qin Feng momentarily forget himself. It took him four hours to regain his internal force and this was because the energy of the Ancient Wisdom Tree was abundant, allowing him to quickly recover.

    At this time, it was early in the middle of the night and Qin Feng had been sitting crossed-legged for four hours. His cultivation gave himself a floaty, energetic feeling. However, more importantly, Qin Feng still had not obtained a Sage Fruit!

 Chapter 760 - Bai Liâ€™s Encounter

    <h4>Chapter 760: Bai Li¡¯s Encounter</h4>

    From Qin Feng¡¯s experience before rebirth, he could already be considered as a top-tier hero ss.

    It was surprising that there were no fruits obtained from the Ancient Wisdom Tree.

    Qin Feng stopped practicing, he looked at Bai Li who was guarding beside him.

    ¡°Your turn now! I¡¯ll guard you!¡±

    It was impossible for anyone to practice at that ce without any safeguard, everyone had to prepare for any potential sneak attack from the others!

    Hence, while Qin Feng was practicing, Bai Li was only guarding by the side.

    ¡°Hmm, alright!¡±

    Bai Li sat down in ordance to Qin Feng¡¯s posture, cross-legged.

    Actually, it did not matter for ultra beasts, whether they were seated or lying down, both were viable.

    Bai Li had her own distinctive approach in practicing inherited from her bloodline, absorbing the essence of energy from heaven and earth, and she could even absorb energy from other spaces.

    An array of faded silver glow appeared around Bai Li, even the moonlight seemed to be drawn toward her!

    Immediately, the realistic moonlightnded upon Bai Li¡¯s body.

    When observed closely, it was definitely not moonlight, but light refractions from each Sage Fruit.

    Knowing that the Ancient Wisdom Tree was extremely massive, densely grown with fruits that were stubbornly clinging to it, such a great number of refracted lights was a rare scene.

    Bai Li seemed to have felt something, and immediately opened her eyes.

    ¡°Whruah!¡±

    The fruits were attracted by Bai Li, they pushed through the leaves and fell simultaneously.

    From a quick observation, the number was shocking, there were about fifty of them!

    Definitely horrifying!

    ¡°Whruah!¡±

    All of the fruitsnded into Bai Li¡¯s arms.

    Even Qin Feng was struck dumb by it.

    The translucent fruits were all filled with energy presence, when sniffed from a closer distance, the scent was pleasing, calming and refreshing for the mind.

    Liu Hang was the closest to them, he was stunned by the scene.

    The others let out their death stare toward Bai Li, filled with greed, and wishing they could rush forward and plunder from her.

    Perhaps they were staring too hard, Bai Li could no longer put on a wide smile and delighted look, her face turned serious to express her anger!

    She exposed her aura to the surroundings.

    The A-tier beast deity presence was intimidating, and it was suffocating for those who were around.

    Bai Li and Qin Feng were not wearing their badges, but their capabilities were deeply felt during their battle. With their surprising young age, the others totally did not expect Bai Li to have such powerful capabilities.

    Also, the beast deity presence was overwhelming and extremely horrifying, for some of them, it was a once in a lifetime encounter with such an oppressing aura. Some could not even identify that Bai Li was a humanoid ultra beast!

    Bai Li was carrying a huge bunch of fruits, she immediately grabbed some for Qin Feng, as if those were not extremely valuable fruits, and were just a bunch of peanuts.

    Qin Feng was betweenughter and tears.

    ¡°These are from the Ancient Wisdom Tree, take all of them, perhaps they don¡¯t suit me!¡± Actually, as long as the fruits from the Ancient Wisdom Tree were not forcefully taken, they could still be distributed to others.

    It was the reason that drove the intention of the others to plunder.

    ¡°This is a lot; we can share them in half!¡±

    ¡°You can have all of them, if I want them, I will get them by myself!¡± Qin Feng reaffirmed.

    Although Bai Li was indeed powerful, Qin Feng did not feel that his talent would not be on par with hers.

    Also, Bai Li¡¯s fruitful encounter had calmed Qin Feng down, he was no longer feeling fussy, instead, he had another idea.

    When Qin Feng insisted, she was aware of his intentions. Therefore, she took back those Sage Fruits and kept the excess in her space to save some for Qin Feng. She then began to consume some of the remaining fruits.

    Fruits that were cultivated from the powerful nt were extremely delicious. Bai Li squinted her fox eyes as she enjoyed eating the fruits, while the others could only stare with jealousy and hatred.

    But they were afraid of provoking Bai Li, from the aura that was released by her earlier, they felt that she was even more horrifying than Mohrian.

    Bai Li was certainly done with her practice, Qin Feng sat down cross-legged again, his second attempt was not to practice on ancient warrior skills.

    Qin Feng took out a spatial rune equipment from the Battlegod Tomb.

    Then, he took out several other books made from beast leather.

    The moisturized air was easily sensed from the surrounding, those beast leathers were all infused by the color blue.

    All of those were collected by Xue Xingfu under Qin Feng¡¯s orders, it was after Qin Feng had obtained the Sacred Water Meteor.

    With Xue Xingfu¡¯swork and connections, unless the requested item to exchange for was an A-tier resource, otherwise he could just easily buy over any B-tier battle skill abilities with money.

    Qin Feng was notcking in runes, he just needed the rune arrangements to be used for his abilities.

    ¡°The art of meditation!¡±

    The surroundings had vanished, only the consciousness realm was left behind, while the abilities within Qin Feng¡¯s hand were lit up by the glowing runes.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    Those water runes were all devoured by Qin Feng, most of those were owned by him.

    They gradually aligned themselves within Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness realm and were imprinted onto his consciousness starglobe.

    ¡°Water Shield¡±

    ¡°Blue Waves City Shield¡±

    ¡°Billow Strike¡±

    ¡°Tsunami Strike¡±

    ¡°Hydro Dragon Strike¡±

    ¡°Hydro Wall¡±

    The number of abilities was growing, and Qin Feng was picking up those abilities at jaw-dropping speed.

    Especially for the Hydro Wall, being an extremely powerful A-tier ability, it would at least take a B-tier aptitude user years to master, but Qin Feng¡¯s absorption had merged them into his consciousness starglobe.

    As soon as thest absorption waspleted, Qin Feng sensed something and opened his eyes.

    Meanwhile, there were already three Sage Fruits that had appeared before him.

    The moment he opened his eyes, the fruits descended into his hands!

    With the shocking number of fifty fruits obtained by Bai Li, Qin Feng¡¯s three fruits seemed very little, but Qin Feng was satisfied with it.

    To think about it, the Ancient Wisdom Tree was actually distributing ordingly. Bai Li was a massively sized spatial beast, while Qin Feng was just a human, and three Sage Fruits would already be sufficient!

    Qin Feng was very grateful too.

    Knowing that he had spent four hours earlier, Qin Feng was in discontent and felt that he might not have luck in his favour. As soon as he was rewarded with three Sage Fruits, he was definitely satisfied with it!

    As for Liu Hang who was beside Qin Feng and Bai Li, it was the toughest moment for him to witness.

    One of them was granted with fifty Sage Fruits from the Ancient Wisdom Tree, while the other one was granted with three. Although it was not much, it was still an encounter that the others had been yearning for!

    Therefore, Liu Hang was offended by the both of them!

    The threat from such enemies would definitely stir up their opponents, wondering if both of them would crush them any time they wanted.

    Liu Hang wanted to leave silently but he recalled Qin Feng¡¯s statement, he did not dare to make a move!

    The situation was best described as both ways leading to a dead end, there were no viable options at all!

    However, Qin Feng was only teasing him. Actually, he did not even care about his presence, he was just being paranoid about it!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng began to consume the first Sage Fruit!

 Chapter 761 - A True Quad Ability User

    <h4>Chapter 761: A True Quad Ability User</h4>

    The translucent Sage Fruit was actually very rigid and hard, but as soon as it was ced into the mouth, transformation of energy instantly took ce and circted to Qin Feng¡¯s entire body.

    Energy entered into Qin Feng¡¯s body and rushed to his mind, like he was led through void spaces and arrived at a consciousness realm.

    Furthermore, the core of the Sage Fruit did not transform into energy. It turned into a small-sized diamond, merging with the Sacred Water Meteor and circling around Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness starglobe.

    It had formed into apanion star!

    In the next moment, it was like Qin Feng had instantly known the usage of the starglobe.

    Water runes flew out from Qin Feng¡¯s Diamond Starglobe, merged with the small-sized diamond starglobe, and slowly turned into a fiery red starglobe.

    It was a pure and simplified sensation. Qin Feng felt that when his consciousness was focusing on the starglobe, he would then be a true fire ability user.

    ¡°Dual ability user, dual consciousness core, so this is it!¡±

    It was the same as Qin Feng¡¯s exnation earlier, the most effective oue from consuming Sage Fruits would be mastering dual ability usage.

    Although Qin Feng originally owned the fire ability, being a dark ability user himself, mastering and usage of the fire ability were still not refined enough. He had merely benefited from the variety of ability runes that he owned.

    However, he had truly grasped the essence of mastering fire abilities.

    It was at that moment, Qin Feng was prompted by an urge, he swallowed the remaining two Sage Fruits.

    All of a sudden, two diamonds then rushed into Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    Then, water runes were merged into one of the small-sized diamonds!

    The Sacred Water Meteor seemed to have felt something, it then swished toward the bluepanion star.

    Qin Feng¡¯s water rune ability was enhanced by the Sacred Water Meteor and spiked tenfold!

    Then, some of the remaining earth runesnded onto another diamondpanion star.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯srgest diamond starglobe was left in pure ck color.

    It was apanied by threepanion stars revolving around it!

    Not only was it an ability realization, with sufficient consciousness, Qin Feng could even release various energy simultaneously. If they did not repel, he could establish dual fields, triple fields, or even quad fields.

    It had definitely raised Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities, and his abilities were most probably not far from his ancient warrior skills!

    Quad ability user!

    Qin Feng was still indulging within the consciousness realm, but the others were already feeling a horrifying and suppressing aura from him. All of them were struck dumb.

    They were even more shocked when they realized Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s age, some of them knew that they were from the Human Alliance.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t he the newly promoted general from the Northern Region?¡±

    ¡°Seems like another powerful figure from the Northern Region has risen, with such capabilities,bined with the favour from the Ancient Wisdom Tree, his future will be filled with endless possibilities!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, Bai Li, the Fengli Organization, this is the rise of a new influence. However, I am just a B-tier aptitude user, am I even qualified to join them?¡±

    ¡°If I were to invest in Qin Feng¡¯s organization, would he ept the patronage?!¡±

    All of them were driven by their selfish thoughts, prioritizing their own benefits, and none of them realized that Qin Feng was no longer interested in dealing with the B-tier aptitude users. Why would he even care about funding from the A-tier aptitude users? Was that a joke?

    Qin Feng ¡®s organization was raking in fortunes every day; how could those people evenprehend?

    Most importantly, the main reason was Qin Feng¡¯s overwhelming individual capability!

    A night of practice had passed. During the day, perhaps it was due to the lights, fruits on the Ancient Wisdom Tree were no longer glowing. Noises began to fill the surroundings, everyone was no longer focusing on their practices, and all of them went out for ultra beast hunting.

    All of those were resources that could not be found on earth, but at the same time, the environment was much more unexpected and dangerous than the Earth.

    Also, most of them would not move too far away, their main focus was the Ancient Wisdom Tree. Their second priority was to plunder spirit herbs and fruits, and engaging in battle would be theirst resort.

    Qin Feng had a totally different set of priorities.

    After the besiege of the mammoths yesterday, Qin Feng had killed their tribe and regenerated himself with the absorbed energy. If the same number of mammoths were toe again, Qin Feng would then be able to advance to B4-tier!

    Qin Feng had only been at B3-tier for a short while, and he was about to advance further, it was all because of the densely popted ultra beast at Hell Ind.

    Under such circumstances, Qin Feng carried on with hunting, the bloody smell on his body continued to intensity and it became unwashable.

    One day, two days...

    Ten days, twenty days...

    Qin Feng could no longer keep count of his ultra beast kills, it was an endless ughter.

    Regardless of physical state or consciousness, he was about to arrive at a point of breakthrough.

    However, there were only three days left before he had to leave Hell Ind!

    ***

    In the dead of night, under the Ancient Warrior Tree, everyone was focused on practicing.

    Ever since Qin Feng and Bai Li had obtained such a great number of Sage Fruits, the practicing scene under the Ancient Wisdom Tree had resumed to its normal state. Only one person would be favoured by the Ancient Wisdom Tree and awarded with the Sage Fruit every three to four days.

    Two of those awarded B-tiers were even killed directly and their fruits were plundered.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were not rewarded with fruits anymore. However, by practicing under the Ancient Wisdom Tree, it had allowed them to fulfil their sense of connecting to their entire mind.

    New abilities were constantly mastered by Qin Feng. Other than water abilities, he had even absorbed some mammoth cores that were then umted into earth runes, allowing him to master Earth Dragon.

    However, both Earth Spike and Meteorite Fall of the Earth Wall required more earth elements.

    It was during Qin Feng¡¯s research on the earth runes, a beast growling echoed from the dark.

    The growling was too powerful, echoed from afar, but its prating sound was still easily noticeable.

    Dragon growl!

    ¡°This, this is Mohrian¡¯s sound!¡±

    ¡°Sounds very angry!¡±

    ¡°Could it be someone who has gone to kill Mohrian?¡±

    ¡°Who would be that bold, tired of living?¡±

    Everyone stood up and discontinued their practice, they then looked in the direction of Mohrian¡¯s spot.

    Some of them had already gone toward it, some of them were still hesitating and were a little worried.

    Meanwhile, people from Dusk Dragon that were being tasked to station at Hell Ind were also alerted, including Fire Phoenix who hade along.

    ¡°What is happening? Who is provoking Mohrian, is the person tired of living? Even with the establishment of a contract, those who invade into Mohrian¡¯s territory will still be killed!¡±

    Fire Phoenix was about to go toward the volcano. At that moment, there was already an unexpected fiery red dot that had appeared at the edge of the sky.

    Then, the red dot moved closer and closer.

    Fire Phoenix realized that the situation had gone bad, even as a fire ability user, her forehead was surprisingly sweating.

    The red dot was growing bigger, expanding across the sky, and it was Mohrian.

    Qin Feng immediately activated his consciousness and identified a shadow that was below Mohrian that was flying.

    It was the familiar Phantom Shift, sprinting toward the mountain¡¯s stronghold at high speed.

    It was Guan Jinhau!

 Chapter 762 - Desperate Guan Jinhau

    <h4>Chapter 762: Desperate Guan Jinhau</h4>

    ¡°Roar!!!¡±

    The Fire Dragon Mohrian let out an enraged roar, lifted up its skull, and suddenly spurted forward.

    A horrifying me pir was spurted out, aimed toward the forest down below, and everything was engulfed in zing mes.

    Amid the mes, countless numbers of shadows were drowned, but Guan Jinhau seemed to have some special methods that allowed him to dodge the attack from the Fire Dragon Mohrian.

    They were getting closer.

    Guan Jinhau panicked as he was unable to get rid of the attacks from the Fire Dragon Mohrian. It had left him no choice but to run in the direction of the crowd.

    He was about to get everyone involved in the dire situation. Furthermore, even Dusk Dragon would be drawn into it, which would then secure his own safety.

    But it was still unknown whether Guan Jinhau would put himself into another trouble with them!

    Why would Guan Jinhau care?

    Everyone had their own scruples, but when faced against one of the most powerful killers, Guan Jinhau had definitely ignored such concerns!

    Meanwhile, Fire Phoenix had realized the unusual situation, and immediately activated a protective barrier for the entire mountain¡¯s stronghold!

    The Fire Dragon Mohrian was almost within reach, its wings were pping on the sky like a gigantic fireball. Despite having the instion of the protective barrier, the zing heat could still be felt, even the barrier was rippling, and energy was draining fast!

    ¡°Mohrian, what are you doing?! Have you forgotten about our contract?¡± Fire Phoenix immediately channelled her message via consciousness.

    Meanwhile, Mohrian let out a raging roar and snarled furiously with its consciousness, ¡°Disgusting, how dare you say that I have forgotten about the contract, my treasure was stolen by humans!¡±

    Fire Phoenix immediately understood the situation and knew who Mohrian was referring to.

    It was not only Qin Feng that had noticed Guan Jinhau.

    Some of the others also knew who he was.

    ¡°He is insane!¡±

    ¡°Ridiculously bold!¡±

    ¡°Guan Jinhau, you are nning to drag us all into this!¡±

    Fire Phoenix was choking with anger, but could only channel across her message with consciousness to calm Mohrian down!

    ¡°This human is not one of us, if he has stolen from you, we will definitely get him and hand him over to you!¡±

    It was just a piece of cake to get Guan Jinhau, the key was to buy time and perhaps wait until the S-tier aptitude user¡¯s arrival to take over the situation.

    However, being a beast deity, the Fire Dragon Mohrian was mighty and powerful, how likely would it be calmed down with just several sentences from Fire Phoenix?

    ¡°All of you are provoking me!¡±

    Mohrian roared in rage, not holding back anymore. It did not care to continue to listen to Fire Phoenix¡¯s exnations, and a dragon breath was immediately spurted out.

    Horrifying magma exploded instantly, sting through Dusk Dragon¡¯s protection.

    The shrouding mes wereing from all directions!

    It would certainly not harm the Ancient Wisdom Tree, but simrly, the Ancient Wisdom Tree would also not provide any shelter to those people.

    Hence, all of the aptitude users began to escape!

    The Fire Dragon Mohrian descended from the sky. Its pping wings were like tornados, blowing away B-tiers that had lower capabilities, mming them onto rocky mountains. Their bones were crushed, not having any chance to fight against it.

    The Fire Dragon Mohrian was a beast deity, it was impossible for any of them to resist.

    Qin Feng did not wish to get involved with the mighty creature either, his main concern was to not reveal Bai Li¡¯s capabilities in front of those people.

    But as Qin Feng intended to leave, some of them stopped him from doing so!

    As the protective barrier was destroyed, Guan Jinhau was once again targeted by Mohrian. A great angered roar was heard, with oppressing and mighty fire runes, Guan Jinhau had no choice but to reveal himself. Surprisingly, he was right beside Qin Feng.

    Mohrian did not even hesitate for a bit and spurted out a fire beam!

    The fire beam would definitely harm the innocent others, Qin Feng knew that he could no longer dodge from it.

    ¡°Water Screen!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand, a thickened pool of water appeared in the sky and continued to extend upward. It had safely protected Qin Feng from the hysterical fire pir that was spurted toward him, the Water Screen acted as a shield while the attacks from both sides neutralized each other and formed into mists.

    The entire Dusk Dragon¡¯s stronghold was covered by the thick and misty fog.

    Under the misty fog, Qin Feng activated his Phantom Shift and escaped.

    Surprisingly, Guan Jinhau was also following Qin Feng¡¯s escape.

    Despite being blurred from getting a clear view, the Fire Dragon managed to focus its consciousness from behind and continued to target Guan Jinhau, and it was certainly still in pursuit of him.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng signalled his bloodlust from his eyes.

    ¡°If you continue following me, I will kill you!¡± Qin Feng threatened via his consciousness.

    Guan Jinhau panicked and would resort to any method that would help with his escape. Surprisingly, he had even hinted for help from his consciousness.

    ¡°President Qin, Elder Qin, please help me, just once, those items that I have gotten, you want half of them?¡± Guan Jinhau made an offer.

    Actually, Guan Jinhau had pulled out a sly move, he knew that Qin Feng alone would not be able to save him, and Bai Li¡¯s capability would be able to fill the gap.

    From the previous battle, if it was not because of Bai Li, he would not have been caught in such a difficult situation, Guan Jinhau knew clearly about Bai Li¡¯s ability.

    Spatial ability!

    If Bai Li were to lead his escape, would it not be a piece of cake to get rid of the pursuit from Mohrian?

    Now, Guan Jinhau could only pray for Qin Feng to fall for the lure!

    Obviously, Qin Feng was a little interested in Mohrian¡¯s treasure.

    ¡°What have you actually gotten from it?!¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°What else? From Mohrian¡¯s daily hunting, there were leftover crystal core corpses, sharpened horn and fangs, furs and scales. It is impossible for Mohrian to eat all of those! I have only taken a little from the Fire Dragon, it was all piled up into a mountain of trash! Who knew it would result in such great chaos?!¡±

    He was definitely trying his luck, knowing that even humans who stepped into the mountains or were identally found by Mohrian during its hunts would certainly be annihted. Not to mention, his intrusive move to set foot into the mainir was definitely him ying with fire, and it was ridiculously bold!

    ¡°How much have you taken?¡±

    ¡°Not much, only...only about thirty crystal cores!¡± Of course he would aim for the most valuable ones, thirty crystal cores varied in A and B-tiers, all of those were beast king or beast emperor cores that would cost a fortune.

    Meaning to say, if Guan Jinhau were to seed, those thirty A-tier beast emperor cores would be worth four hundred and fifty billion power credits, even after incurring the cost of his god weapon dagger, he would still have remaining bnce from it!

    Qin Feng let out a cold sneer, ¡°I believe the actual number is much more than this!¡±

    ¡°No, that¡¯s all I have!¡± Guan Jinhau immediately exined.

    ¡°Well, then I will have all thirty of them!¡±

    Guan Jinhau opened his eyes wide, to him, Qin Feng was definitely asking for too much.

    It was at that moment, the Fire Dragon Mohrian managed to catch up with them, it extended its sharpened w and swiped toward the three of them.

    They were escaping extremely fast, within several consciousnessmunication exchanges, they had already escaped for more than a thousand meters.

    Crack!

    A mountain top took the hit from the w and copsed, and Guan Jinhau narrowly escaped it.

    ¡°Ah, agree, I agree!¡± Guan Jinhau immediately sealed the deal.

    Qin Feng was swift and effortless with his dodging from the copse.

    ¡°Hand over the items!¡±

    Guan Jinhau had no choice but to take out a rune equipment with the items contained within it, and tossed it over to Qin Feng.

 Chapter 763 - The Furious Mohrian

    <h4>Chapter 763: The Furious Mohrian</h4>

    Qin Feng took a brief look and confirmed that he received thirty crystal cores. However, there were only twenty B-tier beast king and ten A-tier beast king crystal cores¡ªin other words, Guan Jinhau had definitely kept the really good stuff. These crystal cores that he received were worth only 11 billion power credits.

    Still, 11 billion credits were enough to ask him to save his life.

    Meanwhile, Mohrian was really pissed.

    Mohrian was not some low-level, unintelligent beast. It had lived for a really long time that seemed like eons to humans. Not only that, it had also made a pact with an S-tier ability user. Sometimes, when it was bored, Mohrian would even observe humanity with keen interest.

    Not only that, Qin Feng and Guan Jinhau were negotiating and talking via their consciousness. This meant that this made it even easier for Mohrian to understand what they were talking about.

    And these two puny humans were discussing splitting the loot! The loot that it spent a really long time gathering. Even though these things, like what Guan Jinhau said, were littered around like garbage, taking these things away from it was still stealing! This was a direct taunt toward this beast deity.

    This was why Mohrian was pissed. Really pissed!

    Besides, Qin Feng was using Phantom Shift too. Mohrian felt that since they were using the same weird martial arts, these two humans were definitely on the same team!

    ¡°Roaar!!¡±

    Mohrian¡¯s loud, furious roar rocked a huge wave of conscious tremors toward Qin Feng and Guan Jinhau.

    ¡°I¡¯ll shred you to pieces!¡± Mohrian barked.

    Right now, they had travelled across several mountains¡ªthey were now quite far away from Dusk Dragon¡¯s stronghold. The ultra beasts in the area were fleeing and hiding after sensing Mohrian¡¯s presence.

    ¡°Argh! It¡¯sing! It¡¯sing, President Qin! We have to run!¡± Guan Jinhau cried.

    ¡°Okay. Go on. You run.¡± Qin Feng replied.

    Guan Jinhau thought that Qin Feng intended to leave him behind, going against their deal. However, he then saw Qin Feng and Bai Li turn and face Mohrian.

    Guan Jinhau widened his eyes in disbelief.

    ¡®This guy... the president of the Fengli Organization... is he nuts? Even though he has received payment from me, there is no need for him to risk his life to make sure I can escape from this... right?¡¯ Guan Jinhau thought to himself.

    In Guan Jinhau¡¯s world, everything revolved around money. Everything was business; nothing was personal. This made him a really materialistic man throughout his life.

    However, right now he felt a fling of shame.

    He had never seen someone sticking to a deal like Qin Feng. This man was very professional!

    Then, Guan Jinhau shook his head and reminded himself to be more rational.

    Qin Feng did not intend to throw away his life to save his. No. This man was actually confident that he could take on Mohrian!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was heightened to a terrifying scale! Then, he unleashed two abilities at the same time!

    ¡°Apocalypse Bloom!¡±

    ¡°Hydro Wall!¡±

    As the Apocalypse Bloom slowly descended from the sky, Hydro Wall burst up from the ground below! The former was capable of weakening and speeding up the aging process of any living creature it touched; thetter, on the other hand, was able to form a massive ocean in a matter of minutes, drowning everything that it covered.

    Thus, Mohrian was attacked by two abilities at the same time!

    Instinctively, Mohrian tried to avoid the water and flew straight to the sky.

    However, as it rose to the sky, the Apocalypse Bloom¡¯s petals fell on its body and put out several mes that were raging on its body.

    ¡°Roarr!!¡±

    The fire dragon immediately recognized what this flower was. He had lived side by side with a ck dragon before on that ind.

    This was dark ability!

    Still, Mohrian was pretty strong. It had one of the sturdiest bodies alive on the! Thus, the petals had only done some damage to it and only lowered its powers by a few levels.

    Still, de-buffing the dragon this way would allow Qin Feng to fight it head on. Qin Feng was still a B3-tier ability user¡ªso, he needed Mohrian to be depowered.

    Still, the real threat was not Qin Feng¡ªit was Bai Li.

    Seeing that Mohrian¡¯s movement had slowed down, Bai Li quickly unleashed her powers.

    ¡°Spatial Crush!¡±

    She did not opt to use her spatial abilities to trap the dragon because there was no need to. Bai Li¡¯s abilities were as powerful as an A-tier¡¯s.

    In an instant, several beams of silver rays shed at Mohrian¡¯s wings, tearing open the dimension around it.

    Mohrian had never experienced or seen this kind of power before. Still, having lived for such a long time, it was able to tell that these silver rays were quite dangerous even to it.

    Mohrian wanted to evade the silver rays but its body was too big.

    When it pped its gigantic wings, they even got stuck into the splintered dimensional cracks in the air.

    ¡°Aarrgh roaar!!!!¡±

    Mohrian let out an excruciating cry.

    Its wings werepletely pierced, resulting in its scales being cut out, falling down to the ground.

    And that was not all, as it fell down, Mohrian dropped straight into Qin Feng¡¯s Hydro Wall.

    ¡°Ssh!!¡±

    ¡°Psssssst!!!!!¡±

    As Mohrian dropped into the water, the mes on its body touched and burned the liquid around them, turning them into vapors and steam.

    Naturally, Qin Feng would not let this chance slide!

    ¡°Oceanic Whirlpool!¡±

    A huge whirlpool formed immediately in the middle of the Hydro Wall. As the water spun rapidly, the huge force within the waters was able to rip any living creature apart.

    Bai Li, of course, would join in with another attack.

    sh!

    Bai Li¡¯s Chiliad Orb spun around before forming multiple dimensional cracks within the Hydro Wall. Now, the whirlpool was no different than a deadly shredder.

    In just seconds, Mohrian¡¯s massive body was cut over thousands of times, leaving countless wounds on its flesh. Not even its steel-like scales were able to withstand such punishment.

    In a few minutes, the originally blue Hydro Wall had been dyed red.

    The Hydro Wall was now soaked in dragon blood!

    Guan Jinhau gawked at what was happening in front of him in disbelief.

    ¡°No way... they¡¯re trying to kill Mohrian... they¡¯re trying to kill a beast deity?!¡±

    Of course, being a beast deity, Mohrian was no pushover.

    After sensing that if this kept on, it would definitely die from this, Mohrian let out a furious roar before morphing its body into a smaller size.

    Its gigantic body was now basically a hindrance when facing Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s attacks. As such, it decided to make its own size smaller. By doing that, Mohrian could dodge these pesky dimensional cracks. After all, despite how deadly they were, these dimensional cracks were stationary¡ªmaking it rather easy to evade when its body was not gigantic.

    A minuteter, Mohrian lookedpletely different from before¡ªit had now be a three-meter tall humanoid with dragon-like features. Its body was covered in crimson red scales while still keeping its dragon horns and tail. Despite being a humanoid, its legs were still bending forward like how they were when it was a full size dragon; however, its front legs had morphed into a pair of muscr arms, armed with steely fingernails that were at least twenty centimeters in length and could cut anything to pieces with ease.

 Chapter 764 - Senseless Battle

    <h4>Chapter 764: Senseless Battle</h4>

    Booom!!

    Mohrian instantly exploded its terrifying presence and zoomed out of the Hydro Wall!

    ¡°Roar!!¡±

    ¡°Human! Spatial brat! You two need to die!!¡±

    Mohrian¡¯s consciousness roared out agitatedly. After turning smaller, Mohrian¡¯s wrathful powers were condensed in his new humanoid size. This in turn made his offensive and defensive capabilities tenfold stronger than how he was earlier.

    The human-size Mohrian was basically like a miniature nuclear missile.

    ¡°Roaaar!!!¡±

    After another deafening roar, Mohrian dashed forward and tried to body m Qin Feng.

    ¡°Boooom!!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy shield was crushedpletely the moment he willed it out. Then, Mohrian¡¯s steely body struck straight at Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Qin Feng instinctively activated his Asteroid Assimtion. Even though he had gotten powers that were ten times stronger than the other ability users of his tier due to the use of Asteroid Assimtion, Qin Feng still retained the experience that he had from his previous life.

    And during that life, Qin Feng had to adopt risky fighting methods and not utilize internal energy shields¡ªinstead, he kept on fighting and absorbing his enemies¡¯ powers mid-fight to stay alive. As long as he could kill his foe and absorb their powers quickly, no matter how bad his wounds were, he could always recover from them.

    As such, right after his internal energy shield was destroyed, his body instinctively used the old strategies that it was used to.

    And thus, all his internal energy and conscious energy were activated at the same time, hardening his body the moment his and Mohrian¡¯s bodies crashed together.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was now as strong and as inhuman as an ultra beast¡¯s¡ªthanks to his extreme training methods.

    Thus, right now, his body was able to withstand this impact!

    ¡°Roarr!!¡±

    Mohrian roared out angrily again. It could not believe that this puny human could withstand its attack.

    As such, itunched another body m at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, too was provoked. It had been so long since he got the chance to brawl fist to fist like this. Therefore, even though his body was still aching from the impact, Qin Feng was quite eager to take Mohrian on.

    Boom!!

    Boooom!!!

    Crack!! Boooom!!!

    Two of them kept ramming at each other, again and again. The sounds and noises that came from the impacts were quite unbearable. One would feel the pain that Qin Feng must have felt after hearing this.

    Of course, no matter how strong Qin Feng was at the time, he was still a B3-tier human. There was no way he could win a beast deity head on.

    After several body ms, Qin Feng started to cough out blood. Thankfully, he still had plenty of internal energy to guard his organs. Or else, every single internal organ in his body would now have be mushed from all the impacts.

    Still, Qin Feng was not alone. He still had Bai Li by his side. After observing for a moment, Bai Li realized that Qin Feng was no match against Mohrian. Thus, she quickly waved her Chiliad Orb and trapped Mohrian.

    ¡°Spatial Compression!¡±

    The dimensional energies that were trapping Mohrian started to shrink and press it down. If Mohrian could not free itself soon, it would bepletely pressed into a piece of meat pie!

    Raising its head, Mohrian let out a long howl to summon a dominating fire attack, crushing the silver spatial rays that were chaining its body.

    When it was finally free of Bai Li¡¯s control, Mohrian saw that Qin Feng was hurling his water abilities at it again.

    Then, the fight kept on the same way like a cycle, with dark, fire, water and spatial runes colliding again and again in the battle. Every ce that they went had all been turned into ashened, barrennds.

    Trees werepletely burned.

    Oceans werepletely vaporized.

    Dark runes devoured everything in their path.

    And spatial runes had torn everything around them like cutting through butter.

    This terrifying battle had been going on for three whopping hours!

    Guan Jinhau, who was looking on the sideline, could feel that his internal energy was almost dried up from defending the lingering shockwaves that passed through him during these three long hours. And yet, Mohrian, Qin Feng and Bai Li still kept on fighting, seemingly still having a lot of energy in them.

    Of course, unbeknownst to Guan Jinhau, three of them were starting to feel weary from this drawn-out, senseless battle.

    Mohrian seemed to have gotten a bit exhausted from unleashing so much power in thest few hours.

    Bai Li¡¯s clothes were still intact, thanks to her spatial abilities; however, her hair was somewhat messy from the scuffle. Even her high heels were blown away an hour ago.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Sacred Armor was also severely damaged. Not only that, he had already used up a lot of rune equipment from his pocket dimension to heal his wounds.

    And after head-butting Qin Feng so many times, Mohrian¡¯s anger was now somewhat diminished too.

    Still, Mohrian was a prideful dragon. Its pride would not allow it to just let these people go. It should at least hurt them a little to teach them a lesson.

    Thus, Mohrian¡¯s consciousness locked onto Bai Li.

    Even though it would take some effort, the beast deity was more than capable of killing Qin Feng. However, Bai Li was there to defend the young man. And when it wanted to attack this little fox, Bai Li would use her spatial powers to flee away for a brief few seconds before re-joining the battle.

    However, this gave Mohrian some idea. Thus, it started tounch its powerful strikes again.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng had already expended a lot of his internal energy. He had also swallowed a lot of pills to recover his internal energy. Yet, when he was still recovering, Mohrian was striking at him feverishly.

    This resulted in him continuously backing away, trying to evade the fire dragon¡¯s attacks.

    When Bai Li saw this, she quickly dashed forward to protect him. However, it was then that Mohrian turned and attacked her.

    Its attack was lightning fast.

    Bai Li wanted to teleport away to evade the attack. However, she was worried that if she did that Mohrian would turn and continue attacking Qin Feng. Without her being there to protect him, Qin Feng could very well be struck down by this beast deity.

    As such, Bai Li decided to not evade this attack.

    ¡°Spatial Pallisade!¡±

    Bai Li raised her hand and summoned a wall of spatial energy in front of her.

    Mohrian was fed up with toying around with these two. As such, it fiercely shed open Bai Li¡¯s Spatial Pallisade with its steel ws and fire runes! Due to its height, Mohrian¡¯s w was shing straight at Bai Li¡¯s head!

    ¡°Bai Li, run!!¡± Qin Feng cried out loudly.

    Still, even if she wanted to, there was no way Bai Li could evade this attack!

    Right now, due to having just used her spatial runes, it would take too long for her to teleport away. As such, all that Bai Li could do now was to fly backward to attempt to evade Mohrian¡¯s ws.

    In a split second, Bai Li¡¯s petite body was engulfed in mes; her silver hair started to burn as Mohrian¡¯s ws were inching closer to her face.

    Suddenly, a surge of energy burst out from Qin Feng¡¯s body. A small ck hole formed on his forehead before a sapphire darted out of it¡ªit was the Sacred Water Meteor!

    Ssh!!

    A tremendous number of water runes sshed on Mohrian¡¯s body!

    The Sacred Water Meteor hit Mohrian before it was able to shred Bai Li to pieces!

    Not only that, the meteor was able to attack the fire dragon at its core!

    All that Mohrian remembered was it was knocked out hundreds of meters by waves after waves of water runes. Not only that, its own starglobe was flooded by the water runes too, putting out the mes that were burning on it.

    This was not just a sh between the fire and water runes. It was like the water runes were wiping out its fire runes to nothingness as seconds went by!

    The number of fire runes that Mohrian lost in that few seconds would require it to rest for at least a few hundred years to recover.

    Realizing this, Mohrian was overwhelmed by shock and anger.

 Chapter 765 - An Opportunity to Get RiChapter in One Night

    <h4>Chapter 765: An Opportunity to Get Rich in One Night</h4>

    Three hours ago, Mohrian¡¯s anger toward the humans had beenpletely put out after such a long battle. The powerful strike earlier was supposed to be its final attempt at getting at Qin Feng and Bai Li; no matter if it seeded or not, Mohrian had decided to stop after delivering that blow.

    Yet now, Mohrian¡¯s anger was lit up again.

    They had wounded its core. Now, this was personal!

    On the other hand, Qin Feng too was quite angry too¡ªhe was angry at how powerless he was. He felt that he was too powerless to protect Bai Li.

    And of course, he was quite angry at Mohrian too.

    Qin Feng now felt that Bai Li was right. Killing this A-tier fire dragon was probably a good idea. If they could pull it off, he could acquire enough energy and power to ascend straight to A-tier.

    Qin Feng¡¯s life thus far was paved with blood. As such, he might as well add this beast deity¡¯s blood to his collection!

    Therefore, Qin Feng retracted his Sacred Water Meteor and infused his Verdant Emperor Saber with his internal energy before dashing straight at Mohrian!

    Kill!

    He must kill Mohrian!

    Right now, the murderous intent that was fuming out of Qin Feng¡¯s presence was so overwhelming that it was terrifying to watch!

    Seeing that Qin Feng had retracted his Sacred Water Meteor, Mohrian too felt that there was no need to pull punches anymore. The rage and anger that it was feeling were not less than what Qin Feng had.

    Thus, the man and beast deity were shing in the air yet again.

    Qin Feng, Mohrian and Bai Li were the kind of creatures that could fight for several days without rest.

    And thus they fought feverishly for three days!

    The battle was so fierce that it had now brought them to apletely different region than where the Dusk Dragon¡¯s stronghold was at. Still, Qin Feng knew that sooner orter there could be some other humans that had detected their battle.

    Still, he did not care now.

    Right now, Qin Feng felt that hisbat prowess was growing rapidly. This was not the kind of growth that he experienced through absorbing and digesting others¡¯ powers¡ªthis was the kind of growth when one was slowly mastering one¡¯s skills via actual practice!

    Right now, Qin Feng was the weakest of the three in this battle¡ªhe was still a B3-tier ability user after all.

    Thus, when Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was starting to run dry, he decided to switch his strategy and opted to use his internal energy to continue on fighting. After that, when his internal energy too was running low, Qin Feng switched to brawling head on with his own body.

    If things got out of hand, he could still rely on his Sacred Water Meteor to perform a suicidal attack.

    During these three days, Qin Feng¡¯s rune equipment, pills, crystal cores and ultra beasts¡¯ flesh were rapidly expended. His Sacred Armor too was now almostpletely ruined.

    sh!!!

    Pffft!

    Seeing an opening, Mohrian swiped its ws at Qin Feng; as a response, Qin Feng instinctively activated his Phantom Shift and morphed into dozens of mirror image clones, dashing toward multiple directions.

    As the clones were running, a carpet of fire enveloped all of them. This had caused them to vanish into thin air, leaving Qin Feng facing Mohrian alone again.

    Not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s arm was wounded from the attack.

    This meant that his Sacred Armor waspletely crushed!

    Seeing this, Bai Li instantly zipped to Qin Feng¡¯s side and activated her spatial powers. In a sh of silver light, both of them were teleported away.

    Mohrian extended its ws and ripped a huge hole in the dimension in front of it. It was not a difficult feat for an A-tier beast deity to do this¡ªit was now almost as powerful as an S-tier ability user.

    Besides, this was not the first time Mohrian had to pull this trick to counter their teleportation¡ªQin Feng and Bai Li had done the same thing throughout their battle. Mohrian had to locate these two in the shortest time possible if it did not want to face a recovered Qin Feng.

    This time, when it arrived to where they had gone to, Qin Feng had already in a B3-tier beast general! The beast general¡¯s energy was being rapidly drained by Qin Feng, recovering his own energy. Not only that, as the beast¡¯s blood was slowly drying up, Qin Feng¡¯s wound was also healing rather quickly.

    Qin Feng raised his head and saw Mohrian. Without hesitation, they rushed toward one another and started to fight again.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was not as tough as Mohrian¡¯s; so, it was quite difficult for him to withstand the dragon¡¯s powerful strikes over a long period of time. However, Qin Feng was wielding his Verdant Emperor Saber. This thing had cut open Mohrian¡¯s steely skin, making the dragon bleed multiple times throughout their fight. This had, in turn, resulted in Mohrian needing to tread lightly when taking on Qin Feng.

    As such, even if its physical capabilities were tenfold stronger than Qin Feng¡¯s, Mohrian was not able to get an upper hand.

    Right now, Mohrian¡¯s body was covered in ayer of dark red. This was not the color of the fire dragon¡¯s shiny red scales¡ªit was the color of a mix of solidified blood and mud!

    This long battle was still a tie after being drawn out for three days!

    Mohrian let out a loud, furious roar again.

    This time, Qin Feng could sense that its anger was not directed toward him. It was, instead, directed at someone else.

    Then, in the next second, Mohrian shed open a dimensional hole and squeezed through it.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on...? Is it running?¡± Qin Feng frowned. Despite saying this, he could still sense that something was off.

    The dragon still had vigor in it. As such, it was quite unbelievable to see it running away at this moment.

    ¡°Should we follow it?¡± Bai Li asked.

    The silver fox¡¯s lovely eyes were clouded with exhaustion. From the moment of her birth until today, Bai Li had never had to fight something so hard before.

    Still, Bai Li was able to grow a lot from this three-day battle too. It felt as though she was baptized by this ferocious battle!

    ¡°Yeah, let¡¯s see what¡¯s up.¡±

    Qin Feng was not sure if he could still y Mohrian. However, he was curious to find out what was going on.

    Bai Li was able to locate Mohrian the same way it did to them earlier. This was, in fact, much easier for her because she had a natural aptitude for spatial abilities.

    In a leap, both of them saw that they were now in a different location. There were no clouds, no sky. Just red. Just dark, red light everywhere they looked.

    Squinting for a short moment to get his eyes ustomed to the new environment¡¯s light, Qin Feng found that he was in a ce filled with fire-type minerals around him. This was the kind of minerals where powerful fire-type ultra beasts lived.

    Qin Feng had never been here before but he could easily tell where this was¡ªit was Mohrian¡¯sir.

    Mohrian¡¯sir was within a cave of an extinct volcano¡ªthere was nova, only fire-type minerals within it. When he raised his head, he could see that the cave¡¯s ceiling was so high up that he felt that he was a little frog trying to measure how high the sky was.

    Suddenly, they could hear fearful cries from within their. It was the cries of terrified humans.

    ¡°Moh... Mohrian! It¡¯s the beast deity Mohrian!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s back!¡±

    ¡°Run! Mohrian¡¯s back! Run for your lives!¡±

    In a brief nce, Qin Feng was able to recognize who these ability users were.

    They were the same group of people who were visiting Hell Ind. It did not take long for Qin Feng to guess the reason these people were lurking in Mohrian¡¯sir.

    Mohrian was fighting him for three whopping days. This meant that itsir was unguarded during this whole time too. Therefore, it was quite natural for these people toe and try to loot something from it.

    Of course, they were not sure that Qin Feng could y Mohrian. However, this was the day that they were going to leave the ind. As such, they thought that they could try their luck at itsir before they left.

    This was an opportunity to get rich in just one night!

    Still, they had underestimated Mohrian.

    The beast deity could detect Guan Jinhau despite him being a master of stealth. And Guan Jinhau himself was not gutsy enough to actually step into Mohrian¡¯sir to steal something directly from it.

    Therefore, it was quite easy for Mohrian to know someone was stepping into its home.

    Now, these greedy fools had been found! They were doomed!

 Chapter 766 - Audacious Thieves

    <h4>Chapter 766: Audacious Thieves</h4>

    Although Mohrian was not able to defeat Qin Feng, it was more than capable of ying these people.

    The fire dragon dashed around in the cave and rammed several A-tiers to the air, crushing their internal energy shields to pieces. Without the protection of their internal energy, these people were sent flying to the air with blood gushing out of their mouths!

    Then, Mohrian wed at one of the ability users¡¯ head.

    ¡°Argh!!¡±

    The ability user let out a fearful cry as his internal energy burst forth, intending to defend against the dragon¡¯s attack. Yet, this was all a futile attempt.

    Pfft!

    His head waspletely crushed as mushes of his brain sttered everywhere.

    This A-tier was dead in that split second!

    These A-tiers were strong. However, sometimes they had to face something much stronger than them. And when that happened, they were as weak as a rabbit.

    Right now, they were rabbits when facing the furious Mohrian.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Mohrian roared feverishly as its body grewrger andrger, morphing back into its gigantic dragon form. It pped its massive wings and blew these people off bnce, causing them to fall down to the ground.

    These people did not intend to stay here long. In fact, they had only just arrived too. In two hours, the Dusk Dragon Auction would have started. As such, they thought that they could get some valuable treasures to sell from thisir before it began.

    When they stepped into the ce, they saw that treasures were basically littered everywhere they looked.

    There was a huge pile of treasures, like a small hill, in the middle¡ªit was actually Mohrian¡¯s bed. These mortals viewed this as a mountain of treasures, a life-time of fortune; however, to Mohrian, these weaklings were trying to destroy its bed! It could not allow these puny humans to touch its bed!

    Thus, it wanted to kill them all!

    As he was watching the fire dragon massacring these greedy A-tiers, Qin Feng tooy his eyes on Mohrian¡¯s ¡°treasure bed¡±. This thing was so huge, meaning that there were several years¡¯ worth of treasures in it. If these people wanted to take these things with them, they might not even have the means to move them.

    This was also why these people were fighting one another to the death to grab the crystal cores, the treasures that were much easier to carry home, when Mohrian arrived.

    Nheless, these people were now in by the dragon.

    ¡°Damn, I didn¡¯t think that while I was risking my life taking on this big fat dragon, these people were trying to take advantage of that.¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    To be frank, even if Qin Feng could not kill Mohrian, so long as he could drive the dragon away, these treasures in Mohrian¡¯sir should all belong to him.

    And these people intended to take advantage of him when he was doing all the hard work? There was no way he would allow that to happen. To add more, these people were from the Dark Coalition. This meant that he had even less incentives in caring about their well-being.

    ¡°Bai Li, collect all of them!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li eyed at the A-tier crystal cores¡ªthere were plenty of these things. These would satiate her appetite for a long time!

    Whoosh!

    In an instant, a hole appeared in the middle of the hill of treasures. Then, another appeared. And then another. It felt as though the treasure hill was being bitten off by a gigantic, invisible mouse.

    In just a few blinks of an eye, they could see the bottom of the treasure hill.

    Mohrian widened its eyes furiously. It was already back in itsir and yet someone still dared to steal from it?! How audacious of them?!

    Right now, there was plenty of spatial rune equipment, left behind by those greedy A-tiers, lying around their. So, in the midst of chaos, Mohrian could not guess that the ones who were doing the stealing were Qin Feng and Bai Li, who had concealed their presence with dark- runes.

    Overwhelmed by anger, Mohrian could not think straight anymore. All that it felt right now was that all these foolish, impudent humans needed to die!

    ¡°Roaaar!!!!¡±

    Mohrian spread its wings and let out a deafening roar! Its roar then echoed in the cave again and again. The A-tiers felt as though they were battered by tides after tides of tsunami made of sound. Some boulders that were hanging on the cave¡¯s ceiling were even rocked down by the dragon¡¯s roar.

    Then, they felt a powerful tremor on the ground.

    Boooom!!

    The ground was split open as hot, fieryva burst out from underground, swallowing the A-tiers whole!

    ¡°Arghh!!¡±

    Excruciating cries echoed in Mohrian¡¯sir as the A-tiers tried to escape.

    Seeing how chaotic it had be, Bai Li quickly used her spatial abilities to swallow another huge chunk of treasure before hiding under Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy shield.

    After shielding Bai Li, Qin Feng willed out ayer of Fire Wall around them.

    Then, in a few minutes, theva hadpletely swallowed most of the thieves. Some of the more capable A-tiers were able to dashed straight to the entrance; the rest of them, the B-tiers and the less mindful A-tiers, were all dead.

    Seeing that there were a few A-tiers who were able to escape from theva, Mohrian pped its wings and flew straight to the air. Then, it extended its fiery tongue and grabbed one of the A-tiers and hurled him into theva before keeping on with chasing the others who had scattered around in panic.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, was able to detect something peculiar.

    ¡°This... This presence...?¡± Qin Feng quickly dove straight into theva.

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    ¡°Fiery Rampage!¡±

    It was not easy to navigate in theva. However, after mastering his fire abilities, Qin Feng was able to move around while carrying Bai Li with him. Both he and Bai Li were now enhanced creatures that could withstand great punishment; so, they were able to handle theva¡¯s great heat.

    Then, Qin Feng finally reached the ¡°presence¡± that he detected earlier. Qin Feng recognized this thing the instant he saw it.

    ¡°Sacred me Meteor!¡±

    Qin Feng was overjoyed when he saw it. He did not expect to see a second Sacred me Meteor!

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his absorption ability without hesitation.

    Whoosh!

    The Sacred me Meteor was absorbed into his consciousness. This one was much smaller than what Shang Han gave him¡ªits size was about the same as the Sacred Water Meteor that he had. Still, it was still a ¡°Meteor¡± after all¡ªit still contained a tremendous amount of power.

    Qin Feng finally earned his prize from this adventure.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    As Qin Feng rose to the surface, his consciousness was able to detect countless corpses floating around. Bai Li waved her hands and collected them into her pocket dimension¡ªthey could search these bodies and acquire some treasures from them.

    A few minutester, they were finally away from theva.

    Mohrian and the surviving A-tiers were all gone. However, they could still feel the fierce, raving presence of the dragon in the air. When they stepped out of the cave, they could see the forest outside engulfed in mes.

    Qin Feng raised his head and sensed that Mohrian was heading toward the Dusk Dragon Auction.

    ¡°Those people were intending to lead this trouble straight to the auction. This time, they asked for it. No one can save them now.¡± Qin Feng said to himself coldly.

 Chapter 767 - A Torn Spatial Tunnel

    <h4>Chapter 767: A Torn Spatial Tunnel</h4>

    ¡°What should we do now?¡± Bai Li asked.

    Should they chase after the furious Mohrian, or run with the loot?

    Qin Feng looked at the exhausted Bai Li with great concern, and he himself was no better. Mohrian is not a beast they could easily kill now.

    They could defeat it, but it might require a great price to defeat the beast deity.

    More so, Qin Feng would not have found out about the existence of the Sacred me Meteor if not because of the sudden intrusion. Mohrian had obviously been absorbing the runes from the stone all this time.

    Mohrian could have faked a defeat and returned to its cave to lure in Qin Feng, then detonate the stone, like what Qin Feng had done to Z previously. No matter how powerful they were, Qin Feng and Bai Li would not be able to escape unscathed.

    Their opponent was a beast deity that had lived a long life. It must still have a trick or two up its sleeves.

    It was best not to pursue the beast if there was not a safe way to put it down quickly.

    Under such consideration, Qin Feng said, ¡°We should first return to the base of Dusk Dragon. It¡¯s time to return to the ck Citadel with them. We will have our chance against Mohrian in the future.¡±

    ¡°Humph! That filthy dragon. I swear I wille back and skin him alive one day!¡± Bai Li echoed. She admitted what Qin Feng said about Mohrian when they first met was right.

    Besides, neither side was able to gain an upper hand after battling for three straight days. It would be meaningless to keep the battle going.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Bai Li nodded and instantly teleported themselves into the Dusk Dragon stronghold.

    Everyone knew that it was about time to return to the ck Citadel. They sized up the people around them, wondering whether a fight would break out on the bridge of ck Citadel at such a vtile moment.

    The sudden appearance of Qin Feng and Bai Li caught everyone¡¯s attention. Complicated expressions were seen on everyone¡¯s faces when they recognized who had returned.

    It was the couple that had lured Mohrian away earlier. It was miraculous that they were still alive, just looking a little battered.

    The ability to escape Mohrian and return alive showed just how capable they were.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li had returned by leaping through dimensions. Thus, they had arrived earlier than Mohrian and those courageous yet rash aptitude users.

    Fire Phoenix was feeling uneasy. Her instinct told her something bad was about to happen. Regardless, she still opened up the fixated waymark as nned.

    ¡°Everyone, I hope that you have returned from a fruitful trip. The tunnel is opening soon.¡±

    Among the participants, some were being secretive and surveyed vigntly. Some, who liked to boast, were acting jubntly. They could not wait to return and tell everyone the fortune they had plundered from the ind.

    However, more were pulling a long face, with bloodshot and greed-imbued eyes. They had gained almost nothing from this trip, but would not be satisfied with leaving this ce empty-handed. They were probably going to create havoc once they went past the tunnel.

    No matter what their current state of mind was, most people had their eyes fixed on Fire Phoenix.

    People from Dusk Dragon had set up the spatial tunnel that took the form of a ten-meter wide gate. Such a phenomenal presence could be seen from afar, which served as a notice for aptitude users around the ind that time was almost up.

    This was when a giant roar pierced their eardrums.

    The crowd followed the direction of the roar reflexively and found more than ten aptitude users that were approaching fast in the sky. Behind them chased a daunting behemoth.

    The fire draconic beast, Mohrian.

    ¡°Why has Mohrian returned?¡±

    ¡°Someone must have provoked it!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s those who left earlier.¡±

    ¡°Why are we still standing here? It¡¯s time to run!¡±

    The aptitude users knew a disaster was imminent.

    Previously, Qin Feng had helped them once by distracting Mohrain away. The same trick would not work the second time.

    Moreover, no Dark Coalition member would care about others¡¯ life and death.

    None of them ran thest time because they had no ce to run to.

    This time, the crowd did not hesitate and rushed toward the spatial tunnel.

    Qin Feng reacted swiftly. He grabbed Bai Li¡¯s hand and entered the spatial tunnel in front of everyone using Phantom Shift.

    After Qin Feng escaped through the spatial tunnel, the rest followed suit and swarmed through the gate.

    Fire Phoenix was infuriated.

    She did not understand why these people had not learned their lesson and kept provoking Mohrian again and again. In the end, they expected Dusk Dragon to wipe their ass. How ignorant!

    However, it was impossible to terminate the spatial tunnel now.

    ¡°Go. Leave no one behind.¡±

    Members of Dusk Dragon knew that there was no other way. This stronghold was just a makeshift base constructed from wood. Their lives were way more valuable than that.

    As such, they abandoned the base and passed through the spatial tunnel too.

    The fleeing A-tiers were relieved to see the spatial tunnel. They scrambled through the tunnel, much like drowning men who have found a floating log.

    The tunnel might berger than normal but the gigantic Mohrian could not get through it.

    It would bar Mohrian and stop his pursuit.

    Besides, Mohrian had no idea where the tunnel led to. Due to different conditions, certain creatures that dominate their original dimension might be powerless when in a foreign world.

    However, Mohrian was exasperated.

    sh!

    His ws ripped the atmosphere apart and forcefully tore the spatial tunnel, creating a rift.

    The rift startled the beasts around Hell Ind. The aura that flowed in from the other side of the rift was fresh and alluring.

    Behind Mohrain, many beasts had run up the mountain too.

    Qin Feng was the first to reach ck Citadel.

    This was not where they first entered Hell Ind. They came out to a rural zone outside the ck Citadel. It was actually not very far from the bridge.

    Qin Feng looked up and realized they were still within the space stabilizing apparatus. They could not return to Fengli City immediately using a spatial waymark.

    Of course, such a rule did not apply to Bai Li.

    Many A-tiers came out from the tunnel behind them and fled in fear. They had all seen Mohrian from close range.

    Qin Feng did not return to Fengli City immediately. He led Bai Li to leave the area.

    Thest batch of aptitude users had emerged too.

    They were in an even more dire situation. Burnt marks could be seen all around their bodies. They suffered injuries when being pursued by the draconic beast.

    When they rejoiced for finally being safe, a distorted rift came crashing through the tunnel behind them.

    sh!

    It was as if the sky had been ripped in half. The spatial tunnel instantly turned into a hundred-meter-high rift.

    Argh!

    An A-tier that just came through the rift was immediately shredded into pieces.

 Chapter 768 - Massacre

    <h4>Chapter 768: Massacre</h4>

    A hideous draconic head extended out from the rift. The aura of a beast deity had arrived!

    The participants were used to the presence of the beasts in Hell Ind after spending considerable time there. But when the alien force perturbed the earth¡¯s atmosphere, residents around the area were deeply agitated.

    As a prosperous city, ck Citadel was densely popted. Numerousmoners inside the city made a living by serving aptitude users, making this an idealnd for aptitude users to call home.

    However, not all aptitude users in ck Citadel were A-tier users. More users fell in the C-tier or D-tier ranges. The power distribution here was actually simr to that of Dragon Capital, with each influential family having its own A-tiers. Still, the number of A-tiers would not exceed a thousand.

    How big a threat was the beast deity to the citadel in such a circumstance?

    The daunting pressure of the beast suffocated the entire ind.

    [Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!]

    Ear-piercing rms began to ring non-stop. Commoners could not withstand such pressure and exploded.

    G-tier and F-tier users, including those who were newly awakened, spilled blood and fell to the ground.

    Users below C-tiers, though they did not die instantly, had the will to live sapped out from their bodies.

    The entire city was stained by fresh blood.

    Mohrian had not even gotten started.

    The beast breathed fire that spread wildly, which rapidly torched thend within a thousand meters.

    The fire burned the wheat field, engulfed the buildings and roads, turning ck Citadel into a sea of fire.

    Numerous lives were blitzed away by the merciless me.

    ¡°Mohrian, stop!¡± Fire Phoenix bellowed. She was spooked to see her city in such a devastating state.

    She had contacted the S-tier through special means, but nobody knew when the S-tier would make it back to the citadel.

    In the meantime, aptitude users that did not belong to ck Citadel were fleeing in all directions. Mohrian tracked them down first and shattered them into pieces with its maw.

    Some did not try to leave the city but looked for cover inside the citadel. Mohrian spared no one and once again breathed fire ragingly.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    The buildings under attack exploded and crumbled to the ground. Mohriannded on the ruins and roared into the sky. He was clearly unting his dominance.

    ¡°Mohrian, stop at once or bear the consequenceter!¡± Fire Phoenix shouted desperately.

    Mohrian was pleased as it looked at the burning me and the struggling humans. He seemed to have finally vented his rage umted in the past few days.

    Mohrian guffawed. The beast boasted through its consciousness, ¡°Pathetic humans! I am going to show you the price of provoking an ultra-beast!¡±

    He rampaged through the city and brought down one after another high-rise building in front of him. People inside plunged to the ground and were then crushed by the falling concrete.

    It was worse than any natural disaster. It was Doomsday all over again.

    Fire Phoenix was infuriated. Other members of Dusk Dragon had gathered behind her. They were A-tiers, B-tiers, and gunners with heavy weapons on their shoulders.

    ¡°Attack!¡±

    They could not allow Mohrian to keep ravaging through the city.

    Numerous shots were fired by the gunner troop toward Mohrian.

    But the missiles had little effect on Mohrian. The sts resulting from the missiles were nothing more than tickling fireworks to the ultra-beast.

    The A-tiers charged forward fearlessly. They were the natives of ck Citadel and had their homes and properties established here. They would not let the destruction go on.

    ¡°Let¡¯s work hand in hand!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    ¡°Our duke is going to return soon. We have to hold it down before that!¡±

    Though they were members of the Dark Coalition, they understood that unity was the only way in front of such a deadly monster.

    In contrast, people who came for Hell Ind were only thinking about fleeing.

    However, they were the initiator of this cmity. Fire Phoenix would not let them go this easily.

    ¡°If anyone dares to run now, I promise you Dusk Dragon will chase you to the edge of the world after this. Now, stay and resist Mohrian with us, or you will face the wrath of our duke!¡± Fire Phoenix warned harshly.

    Those who were running trembled when they heard the word ¡°duke¡±.

    Everyone knew how powerful an S-tier was, and no one wished to be hunted by one.

    ¡°Fire Phoenix, how long more until the duke will arrive? Don¡¯t you try to use us as cannon fodder.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. This has nothing to do with us. Why should we stay?¡±

    ¡°me it on the true culprits. Find Guan Jinhau. He was the one who poked Mohrian first.¡±

    They were shifting the me and reluctant to fight.

    Fire Phoenix was furious. She raised her arm and constructed a scary fire w that stemmed from her shoulder. The giant fire-type crystal core on her arm was emanating a destructive force.

    Fire Phoenix appeared to be on the verge of exploding.

    ¡°My ability may be ineffective against Mohrian but it would be enough to kill you all easily. Now, either you fight with the beast, or fight me!¡±

    Other than Fire Phoenix, the fleeing group was rounded up by a few tens of aptitude users. Behind them, a few hundred aptitude users from Dusk Dragon and ck Citadel were rushing in too.

    Though mostly B-tier users, the absolute numerical advantage was enough to frighten the A-tiers.

    At the same time, ayer of white light was seening out from the stabilizer and covering the whole ind. The entire ind had been locked down spatially. Unless they could go across the bridge, no one could leave with the spatial waymark.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were unable to leave in time. They were currently encircled by several B-tiers.

    Of course, Qin Feng could have defeated them easily and run. But if the duke of Dark Citadel was really arriving soon, attacking the Dusk Dragon members would only provoke another S-tier.

    He had enough headaches dealing with Z and Eye Devil. Qin Feng did not wish to get another S-tier enemy.

    ¡®Guess we have no choice.¡¯

    Qin Feng said to Bai Li, ¡°Take out the Emerald ster!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li raised her hand and repelled the ability users around them. They were edgy, to begin with. So when someone made a move, they were eager to fight back.

    However, nobody acted when they saw the thing Bai Li took out.

    It was a daunting device.

    The base of the device was like a scaled-down tower. It stood vertically and the tinkering sound of a machine could be hearding from deep inside the ground.

    As for its main body, the cannon measured ten-meter-high and the cannon muzzle was at least five-meter-wide. The machine gleamed like a diamond and was thoroughly translucent.

    Emerald ster!

    The highest-spec cannon Fengli Organization possessed.

    Qin Feng immediately ¡°merged¡± with the ster. He was inside a man-sized fort.

    His consciousness was immediately enhanced by ten times. The muzzle steered right at Mohrian under the control of Qin Feng¡¯s consciousmand.

 Chapter 769 - S-tier, The Duke of Black Citadel

    <h4>Chapter 769: S-tier, The Duke of ck Citadel</h4>

    Mohrian was being bombarded by Dusk Dragon¡¯s soldiers at the moment.

    His gigantic body made him an easy target. On the outer wall of ck Citadel, more than ten A-rank Crystal Cannons capable of deterring A-tier ultra beasts were all aimed at Mohrian.

    The cannons fired simultaneously. As for the buildings around and survivors trapped in it, the Dusk Dragon could not care less now.

    Their priority was to stop Mohrian.

    However, even if the Crystal Cannon could kill an A-tier beast, it did not mean it was capable of hurting a deity!

    Mohrian was simply too powerful. The st from the cannons barely scathed its scale.

    Thesersnded on its body and exploded into one after another energy ripple. But the attack seemed to have only slightly dented Mohrian¡¯s durable scales.

    Blitz! Blitz! Blitz! Blitz!

    Multiple beamsnded on Mohrian continuously but yielded little effect.

    Not only that but the constant assaults only further enraged the beast deity.

    Its mammoth body ascended into the air. The entire city caught on fire once again after Mohrian leased a sizzling breath out of ire.

    None of the aptitude users dared to get closer to Mohrian now.

    In front of the beast deity, they could onlyment their own powerlessness.

    At the same, at a spot slightly further from the battlefield near the edge of the bridge, the A-tiers were eyeing Qin Feng as he was calibrating the Emerald ster.

    ¡°What¡¯s that? Is that a special energy ster?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible to defeat a beast deity with a machine.¡±

    ¡°You have seen how powerful the cannons are on the city wall. Yet, those were not even enough to hurt Mohrian.¡±

    None of them was optimistic about Qin Feng¡¯s shy weapon.

    Qin Feng did not care what they thought. He stood firmly inside the personal fortress and had his ster fully charged. A dark force began to amass in front of the muzzle.

    Qin Feng had infused the ster with dark runes.

    The Emerald ster was a formidable weapon. It was designed to amplify any power directed into it by ten times. The source of power could be elemental runes or pure internal strength.

    It worked in the same way as Qin Feng¡¯s Sacred Armor.

    The more powerful the shooter, the more devastating the st would be.

    Dark runes injected by Qin Feng into the cannon were soon transformed into a scary power sphere in front of the muzzle.

    The A-tiers around him were no longer talking. Their breaths were taken away by the horrific vibe surrounding the concentrated ball of dark energy.

    At this moment, none of them would dare to criticize the ster anymore.

    Blitz!

    The dark ball left the muzzle and flew out dragging a long tail, resembling aet.

    Controlled by Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness, the ball homed straight toward Mohrian.

    Mohrian sensed the threat and saw the dark photosphere as he turned around.

    In front of the great Mohrian, a five-meterrge sphere was considered timid. But the energy within the ¡°small¡± sphere was enough to raise Mohrian¡¯s alert.

    Instantly, Mohrian opened his maw and spat a fireball.

    The two energy balls collided.

    Boom!

    The fireball exploded.

    From within the explosion, the cket emerged once again.

    It was still at the same size before the collision. The fireball seemed to have not exhausted any of its energy. The dark sphere continued to home steadily toward Mohrian.

    It caught Mohrian by surprise that his fireball had little effect against the shot. It was toote for him to evade the attack now.

    The dark sphere hit Mohrian¡¯s neck.

    In that instant, everyone could see that the dark ball had diffused into the monster¡¯s neck.

    ¡°Aw!!!¡±

    Mohrian raised his head and neck agonizingly. The monster was clearly in immense pain. The excruciating shriek resonated loudly in everyone¡¯s mind nearby.

    Then, despite shrinking rapidly after passing through Mohrian¡¯s neck, the dark sphere continued to travel for another half a meter beforending on a building.

    The small sphere created a huge hole in the building upon impact.

    Bam!

    The dark sphere finally exploded. Rain in ck color dropped to the ground as a result and corroded themoners¡¯ bodies as they did not manage to take cover in time.

    Nobody paid attention to that because they were all gazing at Mohrian.

    A dark wound emerged and began to spread on Mohrian¡¯s neck. For the first time, Mohrian was heavily wounded by an attack from a human.

    However, Qin Feng sighed regrettably.

    He missed Mohrian¡¯s skeleton by a fraction. The monster would not give him another chance.

    The beast deity had suffered substantial injuries before when his wings were damaged by Bai Li¡¯s Spatial Crush. Now, Qin Feng¡¯s attack almost took his life. It struck fear into the monster.

    Mohrian was a beast with high intelligence. He recognized that he had been thoroughly defeated this time. Against such powerful foes, Mohrian would either have his revenge next time or not cross paths with them at all in the future.

    With the presence of Bai Li, a formidable spatial beast, Mohrian did not believe he could take revenge on them easily.

    At this moment, all Mohrian wished was to leave as quickly as possible.

    This battle had finallye to an end.

    This was when another rift appeared in the sky.

    A scarier aura leaked through the rift.

    ¡°S-tier! This is bad!¡±

    ¡°The duke! It must be the duke!¡±

    ¡°Our duke is back! We are safe now!¡±

    Some were scared and immediately set off running. These were the ones that tried to plunder the dragon cave and thus enraged Mohrian.

    The ones cheering were obviously members of Dusk Dragon.

    The sky was distorted. Following the arrival of the man, the world seemed to bend toward the will of his aura.

    He was the dictator, the king of this world, the god among men!

    Even Qin Feng was shaken by the S-tier¡¯s unparalleled aura.

    ¡®The Duke of ck Citadel, He Tianxing! An S-tier ancient warrior!¡¯

    But Qin Feng could not tell which sub-tier he was in. At that level, only users of the same tier could identify that. Qin Feng was still far from entering the S-tier even before he was reborn.

    He had only heard of He Tianxing in tales before this. Meeting him in person had Qin Feng realize just how unreal his power was.

    The duke of ck Citadel had his gaze fixed on Mohrian. Seeing the terrible state Mohrian was in, He Tianxing was a little surprised. He then cackled. ¡°Mohrian, my old friend. Are you here to give up on your life? If so, I will do as you wish.¡±

    As he spoke, he unsheathed the ymore on his back.

    The ymore was half a meter wide and 1.8 meter long. It was even longer than He Tianxing¡¯s height.

    He Tianxing raised the ymore, then released it. As the sword plunged, it becamerger andrger.

    Three-meter!

    Five-meter!

    Ten-meter!

    In the blink of an eye, the ymore had turned into a twenty-meter high concrete as it struck at Mohrian.

    Mohrian swung his tail frantically and met it with the sword.

    The loud clunk resulting from the collision had the nearby aptitude users¡¯ ears bleed.

    The duke and the dragon quickly shed into a fierce battle.

    But soon, Mohrian was being forced back. The beast deity no longer roared spiritedly. Instead, he chose to shrink his body and left decisively by tearing out another spatial rift.

    He had fled!

    The arrogant Mohrian had run away!

 Chapter 770 - Escaped from Black Citadel

    <h4>Chapter 770: Escaped from ck Citadel</h4>

    He Tianxing would not let go of this opportunity and chased after Mohrian¡¯s spatial waymark.

    All that was left on the scene was a demolished city, as well as the aptitude users that had just survived a cmity.

    ¡°Catch them!¡± Fire Phoenix roared and pointed at the aptitude users who had run far.

    These were the culprits responsible for this disaster. If not because of them, Dusk Dragon would not have suffered such a great loss. Their city was nearly wiped off from the map by the beast deity!

    The residents of Dusk Dragon were infuriated. They could not fight Mohrian but were more than capable of killing other aptitude users.

    They thrust forward at the fleeing crowds.

    Qin Feng had just retrieved his Emerald Cannon and was immediately jumped by a few aptitude users. The assaulters were ncing at Qin Feng greedily.

    To the assants, Qin Feng was in bad shape. His Sacred Armor had suffered great damage and he was only a B-tier. The local residents had no idea about Qin Feng¡¯s true strength. They were all targeting the cannon which was able to prate Mohrian¡¯s sturdy scales.

    In their opinion, Qin Feng was no more than a lucky gunner that had obtained a destructive weapon by chance.

    It was not that hard to put a gunner into his own ce.

    They would not care even though he had fought on their side just a moment ago.

    Such was the true nature of the Dark Coalition.

    Fire Phoenix is no different. She was thinking about snatching the cannon from Qin Feng too.

    Qin Feng was shown respect before because Fire Phoenix treated him as a wealthy buyer. Besides, Dusk Dragon, as an auction center, would not brazenly rob others on the surface to maintain their good reputation.

    However, things were different now. The Dusk Dragon Auction waspletely justifiable. If they could kill Qin Feng during the chaos, Qin Feng¡¯s possession would automatically be imed by Dusk Dragon, or even be hers.

    As such, Fire Phoenix did not stop her subordinates and let them kill as they please.

    A murky battle around ck Citadel soon began.

    Among those aptitude users right behind Qin Feng, around four to five of them were from the Human Alliance. They were overwhelmed, being surrounded by more than 100 A-tiers. It was close to impossible for them to escape by themselves now.

    As such, they gathered around Qin Feng.

    One of them took off his masks and revealed his aptitude user badge. He was actually a hardnose general from the south, and his name was Nan Gongshi.

    Nangong was the strongest family in the Southern Region. The elders of the Nangong family held a significant position inside the Human Alliance.

    Nan Gongshi had high confidence in his power. That was why he dared to journey to Hell Ind here.

    ¡°Qin Feng, let¡¯s get out of here together!¡± Nan Gongshi said.

    Of course, they would not want to rely on Qin Feng if they had a choice. But in this circumstance, only teaming up would enhance their chance of survival.

    Nheless, Qin Feng did not need anyone. He could easily escape by himself.

    The other four A-tier aptitude users revealed their identities too. They did not join in the plundering of Mohrian¡¯s treasure. They were in Hell Ind looking for herbs to breakthrough into the next stage. They had no conflict with Qin Feng.

    As such, Qin Feng was willing to give them a hand.

    ¡°Retreat to the bridge!¡± Qin Feng said and unleashed his ability.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Nan Gongshi answered. He fought with a Dark Citadel soldier before retreating immediately.

    Qin Feng covered them and was thest to leave. He triggered his conscious power and an insane number of runes gushed out from his blue Diamond Starglobe.

    ¡°Great Tsunami!¡±

    A wave ascended in front of Qin Feng and became bigger and bigger. The wave crushed toward the aptitude users that chased after him.

    This halted their pursuit as they tried to stop the vicious ability. However, their resistance was futile as the wave still engulfed them and blew them back a few hundred meters.

    Qin Feng pulled out arge breathing space. He was not inferior despite fighting one versus five.

    ¡°Chase him down. Kill him, useless morons!¡± Fire Phoenix¡¯s angry roar reached them through their consciousness.

    Rage was clearly visible on the Dark Citadel¡¯s A-tiers faces. They were either embarrassed being chastised by Fire Phoenix, or furious with Qin Feng¡¯s retribution, or both.

    They quickly chased behind the group up to the bridge.

    A few A-tiers that were running were caught up by the pursuers. They died resentfully being rounded up by several aptitude users.

    The entire bridge began to shake vigorously. The impact of a battle between A-tiers was not something the construction was designed to sustain.

    Out of nowhere, another five aptitude users joined in the pursuit behind Qin Feng. They were chased by a total of ten angry mobs now.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned cruel. He would not be afraid to kill.

    ¡®I will grant your dying wish then!¡¯ Qin Feng turned around and executed Phantom Shift.

    A few hundreds of shadows emerged and trapped the ten pursuers. They could not tell whether Qin Feng was hiding among the shadows. Worse still, the shadows were able to attack them like dark puppets!

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Another dark ability shrouded above them.

    Their hearts beat extremely fast as they amplified their vignce. The trapped A-tiers used every ounce of their internal power or runes to break out from the Dark Shroud.

    As soon as they regained their vision, they saw two of theirrades that had been beheaded while Qin Feng was holding his palm on another user¡¯s dantian. The ancient warrior¡¯s face was pale and his entire body was twitching. Internal force was leaving his body rapidly as it was being absorbed by Qin Feng.

    The pursuers tried to save the poor soul but Qin Feng immediately vanished from the spot with his peculiar qinggong skill.

    After a few rounds, all ten aptitude users were killed by Qin Feng.

    He had defused the danger.

    ¡°This way!¡±

    Qin Feng inevitably became the leader of the group.

    They finally ran out from the area covered by the stabilizer and had shaken off their pursuers. Nobody would stop them from leaving through the waymark here.

    ¡°You all leave first,¡± Qin Feng ordered. The other five did not hesitate for long and nodded. They knew Qin Feng¡¯s power as a generational prodigy was not something they could match.

    ¡°General Qin, I will forever remember this!¡±

    ¡°General Qin, let me know if you ever need my help!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m willing to lend my hand, whatever it is!¡±

    They showed their badge and none of them were considered as a weakling.

    ¡°Okay! Just go!¡± Qin Feng epted their gratitude open-heartedly. He would have good use of the return favor someday in the future.

    The five users made no dy and set off their waymarks respectively. They left in a blip.

    Qin Feng was the only one who remained.

    Just as he wanted to leave, something urred in the air once again.

    A rift was opened and the aura of an S-tier had returned.

    It was He Tianxing.

    However, he was not in his best shape. From the look on his face, it did not seem that he managed to deal the final blow.

    Still, the return of the duke had given the members of Dusk Dragon a great boost of confidence.

    All of a sudden, He Tianxing was receiving telepathic messages from almost everyone.

    Among the noise, Fire Phoenix¡¯s voice was the most prominent.

    ¡°Duke, catch this guy. During the auction, he...¡± Fire Phoenix purposely leaked Qin Feng¡¯s wealth to He Tianxing.

    Phoenix also knew about everything he did on Hell Ind. This included how he had fared equally against Mohrian after fighting the deity for three days, as well as all the beasts he had killed during his time there.

 Chapter 771 - Challenging an S-tier

    <h4>Chapter 771: Challenging an S-tier</h4>

    However, Fire Phoenix selectively did not tell the duke about Qin Feng¡¯s ability.

    Or maybe to her, Qin Feng would not be He Tianxing¡¯s match either way.

    He Tianxing was furious at the moment, too.

    Mohrian was a giant draconic creature. Though Hell Ind was huge, it was only considered a small ind rtive to that entire dimension. Strictly speaking, it was Mohrian¡¯s territory.

    Unfortunately for He Tianxing, even Mohrian has its own kin.

    He Tianxing chased after Mohrian into the dimension but was soon surrounded by a few A-tier draconic beasts. He even sensed the iing presence of an S-tier dragon. That forced him to give up on Mohrian and return to ck Citadel woefully.

    The first thing that came into his sight as he returned was the fierce battle between his people and the outsiders. The city had suffered a huge loss. med by Fire Phoenix, He Tianxing¡¯s anger boiled into an unstoppable killing urge.

    Qin Feng, who was targeted by the S-tier, felt a chill down his spine.

    This was not the first time Qin Feng had experienced such hostility.

    He felt the same sensation thest time Eye Devil wanted to take his life.

    Facing He Tianxing aroused a familiar feeling of unpleasant fear in Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng reckoned he had done nothing against He Tianxing. But judging by the chaotic scene, that was no longer important. At least He Tianxing would not care. The duke would only be interested in his possession now.

    He Tianxing started moving.

    The ymore in his hand dived right toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    Qin Feng initiated his qinggong skill and dashed away.

    He Tianxing was surprised to see so many afterimages of Qin Feng. Each of them had Qin Feng¡¯s image on it. It was difficult to tell where the real Qin Feng was hidden.

    However, such a trick might work on an A-tier but it would not confuse an S-tier for long.

    He Tianxing¡¯s ymore turned into a horizontal position and swept the battlefield.

    The radius reached about one hundred meters wide.

    Qin Feng¡¯s afterimages were wiped out by the attack.

    Poof!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy shield sustained the attack and instantly shattered. He drew the Verdant Emperor Saber and turned around to fight back.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    A hundred-meter-tall ck me thrust into the air and hit on the ymore pursuing Qin Feng.

    The two forces collided and forced Qin Feng to unleash his internal force.

    Ten pools of internal forces were equivalent to one sea of power. Ten seas of power were usually the internal force tank of an S-tier.

    Qin Feng triggered about one over five of his total internal force at once. That was about one hundred pools¡¯ worth of internal force.

    Luckily Qin Feng has broad meridians. Otherwise, he could not have released the enormous power without hurting himself.

    The powerpletely put out the internal energy on He Tianxing¡¯s sword.

    Not only that but the Verdant Emperor Saber had directly struck the ymore.

    nk!

    The ymore was bounced off Qin Feng¡¯s saber.

    He Tianxing¡¯s face changed immediately. He no longer looked at Qin Feng as a fly that he could squish easily. He was more angered than ever, gazing at Qin Feng with a stronger intent to kill.

    He Tianxing raised his hand as he intended to retrieve his ymore.

    Suddenly, a dark rift appeared beside the ymore and engulfed it.

    It was Bai Li!

    She robbed He Tianxing¡¯s weapon with her spatial runes.

    Though He Tianxing had the ability to tear out a rift spontaneously, it did not mean he could infiltrate Bai Li¡¯s dimension.

    Anything that went into Bai Li¡¯s dimension would hardly get out without her permission.

    Even Qin Feng was surprised by Bai Li¡¯s decisive act. He had only two words. ¡°Well done!¡±

    He Tianxing was no doubt a legendary elect. But he became famous because of his ymore, to the extent he was given the title of Sword Devil.

    Regardless of whether he still had other weapons, the ymore was definitely the most trusted weapon that had propelled him to the S-tier. With it taken away, He Tianxing¡¯s battle prowess would be tremendously shed.

    Qin Feng soon sensed a violent rageing from above him.

    ¡°Give me back my ymore! Or else...¡± He Tianxing bellowed.

    It was embarrassing for an S-tier to lose his own weapon. At this point, He Tianxing had decided to kill the two, no matter what.

    He Tianxing closed the distance within seconds. As a battle-tested S-tier ancient warrior, he naturally had mastered outstanding S-tier qinggong skills. He moved like a sh.

    In this case, no matter how fast Qin Feng is, he could not outrun He Tianxing.

    Neither was his internal force higher than He Tianxing¡¯s.

    More so, Qin Feng saw a peculiar scene.

    When He Tianxing wasing forth, his aura was intimidating. His internal force was visible to the eyes and materialized into one after another sword.

    Initially, the swords were stuck into the ground. However, as He Tianxing walked over, the swords shifted as well. Qin Feng could feel them but could not target them with consciousness.

    ¡®S-tier internal force field? Is this the effect of internal force solidifying?¡¯

    Qin Feng had no idea. He had never actually been attacked by a S-tier before, including before he was reborn.

    Qin Feng finally got the full experience of fighting an S-tier and understood how special aptitude users in this tier were.

    He Tianxing raised his hands. The silhouettes of swords immediately flew at Qin Feng.

    This was a true transformation of aura into a physical attack!

    Bai Li acted without hesitation. The space around them suddenly became obscure. The iing pressure was alleviated by Bai Li.

    The sh of the two forces yielded an overwhelming after-impact.

    The veins on Qin Feng¡¯s forehead throbbed rapidly. He knew this would notst long. Bai Li had battled for a few days straight. She must be exhausted.

    This was when an idea came to Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    Dong!

    After a dull thud, a ck coffin appeared in between them.

    The coffin was unable to withstand the impact and instantly shattered.

    A figure came out from the coffin.

    There was no sign of vitality on the figure, yet it possessed the aura of an S-tier.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Feng controlled the figure with his consciousness. The puppet covered in dark runes immediately lunged forward. The order it received from Qin Feng made it charge fearlessly at He Tianxing.

    It was none other than the S-tier puppet Qin Feng obtained after killing Kounsat at the Divine Mountain.

    This was the perfect time to use it.

    The puppet prated through the S-tier force field and approached He Tianxing silently. Then, a dagger perforated through He Tianxing¡¯s body.

    Poof!

    Blood was spilled.

    He Tianxing rounded his eyes. There was arge wound in his abdomen.

    Actually, He Tianxing had sensed the danger a tad earlier and tried to evade it. Unfortunately, the dagger still got him.

    ¡°Die!¡± He Tianxing roared. He raised his finger and pointed at the S-tier puppet.

    Instantly, a million swords emerged and crushed the puppet.

    He then looked up again and saw only spatial runes left at where his targets were earlier. Qin Feng and Bai Li had vanished without a trace.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    He Tianxing cursed and spat blood out of his mouth. His killing urge had peaked. However, he remained rooted knowing where the two had gone through the waymark.

    ¡°Great! Perfect!¡± Sanity was definitely not one of He Tianxing¡¯s strengths, yet he would not go after them recklessly.

    This was because the ce Qin Feng and Bai Li had escaped to was where he most feared.

    Dragon Capital!

    He had to stop his pursuit here.

    ¡°Who the hell are they!? I need information, now!¡± He Tianxing bellowed. At the same time, he wiped through the wound on his abdomen with his hand. The flesh repaired itself and did not look damaged from the outside.

    Only He Tianxing would know how bad he was actually hurt.

 Chapter 772 - Took Refuge in Dragon Capital

    <h4>Chapter 772: Took Refuge in Dragon Capital</h4>

    Qin Feng and Bai Li reappeared at the aircraft apron near Dragon Capital. Guards of the capital were alerted and immediately surrounded them.

    They were in extremely bad shape.

    ¡°Please disy your ID and badge!¡±

    One of the guards yelled, while a few tens of guns were pointed at Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    ¡°Stop. They are one of us.¡± An urgent voice came from behind.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li looked up and saw Nan Gongshi and the other A-tiers earlier.

    Escaping from such a tumultuous situation, these people would never run back to their turf first. The best option was obviously to take refuge in Dragon Capital¡ªthe safest ce for the Human Alliances and the most feared ce for the Dark Coalition.

    As such, Nan Gongshi and co. had just arrived ten minutes earlier than Qin Feng.

    ¡°General Qin, you are finally back. We thought something bad might have happened to you two,¡± Nan Gongshi said in relief.

    ¡°Good to see you two returning safely.¡±

    ¡°Nothing would happen to General Qin with his wit and capability. He must have been dyed by killing a couple more members of the Dark Coalition.¡±

    The five of them gathered around Qin Feng and Bai Li and chatted passionately.

    The sentinels let down their guards a little seeing that but did not retract their weapon.

    It was their duty to ensure the identity of any ier.

    Qin Feng did not make life difficult for them and took out his badge. Bai Li did the same.

    The leader of the troop scanned the badge with hismunicator. His expression rxed after the identities of Qin Feng and Bai Li were confirmed.

    ¡°General Qin from the North. Deputy Governor Bai from the North Sea.¡±

    ¡°At ease. They are allowed to enter.¡±

    The sentinels immediately retracted their guns. Nan Gongshi quickly said, ¡°General Qin, allow me to treat you to a meal in Dragon Capital. You must have been battered these past few days. It so happens that I have a few properties in the capital. You could have some rest there.¡±

    Of course, the others wanted to treat Qin Feng too. But they were not as influential and wealthy as Nan Gongshi, so they let Nan Gongshi make the invitation.

    Qin Feng was not entirely rxed. But after there was no sign of He Tianxing a couple minutester, Qin Feng believed that the S-tier duke was not fond ofing to Dragon Capital.

    The thought loosened up his tension a little.

    He gave Nan Gongshi¡¯s offer a thought, then said, ¡°If it is not of too much trouble.¡±

    Nan Gongshi replied jubntly, ¡°Of course it won¡¯t be. We have fought together, and the reason we are still standing here is because of you!¡±

    They could all tell that Qin Feng was as good as an A-tier now. His future would only be even brighter!

    Hence, it was only natural for Nan Gongshi to rope him in now.

    After he epted Nan Gongshi¡¯s invitation, Qin Feng took out his hovercraft and followed thetter¡¯s vehicle into Dragon Capital.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were both exhausted after the three-day intensive battle in Hell Ind. They sighed infort after sinking into their respectivefortable and soft seats.

    Bai Li broke the silence, ¡°Are we really safe? We have failed to cover our identities. He Tianxing would be going to the North Sea to seek revenge for sure.¡±

    Qin Feng frowned but then thought it through. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Z is still there now. He could be our shield. As long as He Tianxing does note personally, I would not worry about any assassin he sends over. We will go back to Fengli after resting here for a day.¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Qin Feng contemted the potential development and was further relieved the more he thought about it.

    ¡°Besides, if He Tianxing really wants to get his revenge, he would have to wait. We have both seen how the S-tier puppet injured him heavily.¡±

    ¡°Yea! It¡¯s not a minor injury. If I estimated correctly, a human body would need at least a month topletely heal from that,¡± Bai Li resonated.

    Qin Feng nodded and continued, ¡°If not because of the injury, he would havee through the rift no matter what. Not only because he is mad at me but also because of his ymore. It is an S-tier god weapon, which is undoubtedly his trump card. Also, the waymark of Dragon Capital is set far outside of the city. He wouldn¡¯t have let us go this easily with his pride as an S-tier.¡±

    ¡°If he dares toe, I would knock his teeth out!¡± Bai Li snorted proudly.

    Qin Fengughed and nodded in agreement. ¡°Yes, yes! My Xiao Bai is the best!¡±

    The atmosphere lightened up. There was still some time before they would reach Dragon Capital. Qin Feng set the car into an auto-pilot to follow Nan Gongshi¡¯s hovercraft. They both went to sleep on thefortable seats.

    Precisely, Bai Li went into a deep sleep immediately while Qin Feng was meditating.

    ¡®The S-tier puppet is indeed powerful. It¡¯s unfortunate that it was destroyed just like that.¡¯

    Qin Fengmented that one of his cards was burned for a battle that he could have avoided.

    Nevertheless, since he rarely relied on the puppet and it was picked up from Kounsat, he was not really disappointed. A puppet for their lives, worth it.

    Not to forget, Qin Feng had also imed He Tianxing¡¯s ymore in the process. Its value was no less than the S-tier puppet he had just lost.

    ¡®This ymore is the source of He Tianxing¡¯s resentment toward me. Since he wants to kill me, I wouldn¡¯t let him think that I can be bullied easily. This sword is not going back to him. Whatever it is, I can transform it into another weapon with the Magical Tesseract.¡¯

    God weapons like this would usually recognize their users. This was another reason why He Tianxing did not rush into action despite being exasperated.

    To He Tianxing, though he had lost connection with the sword for the meantime, he could recall the ymore anytime as soon as someone used it.

    Qin Feng, who had lost an S-tier puppet, would not let He Tianxing have his way.

    ¡®I shall sell this out. The ymore wouldn¡¯t remember its master once it has been reformed through the Tesseract.¡¯

    Qin Feng was convinced that this was an excellent idea the more he thought about it.

    If no one was willing to buy it, Qin Feng could still use it to exchange for treasures with the Human Alliance association. Though the rule allowed only return of lesser value, it would at least be something more useful than the ymore.

    Qin Feng had never seen the treasure collections in Dragon Capital before.

    As he was immersed in his own train of thought, the hovercraft entered the city. The Nangong family was a prestigious lineage in the Southern Region. The family was headed by an S-tier guardian. Hence, their properties in Dragon Capital were more than just a mansion.

    The hovercraft took the highway and went directly into the ninth level of Dragon Capital.

    This ce was very close to the cloud and full of natural energy. Children living or born here were more talented than the others. They were bound to be excellent aptitude and ability users after awakening.

    More so, after two hundred years, there were even babies secretly born naturally to be ability or aptitude users in some influential families.

    Finally, the hovercrafts steered into a manor. The ninth level of Dragon Capital was huge but had limited residents. They thought they had entered a paradise.

    Qin Feng scanned the area with his consciousness. He found that the other four A-tier aptitude users did not follow them. It seemed that this ce was not open to everyone.

    ¡°General Qin, we have arrived!¡±

    Bai Li woke up only when they had arrived. She came down from the hovercraft while rubbing her eyes.

 Chapter 773 - A God Weapon for Battle Points

    <h4>Chapter 773: A God Weapon for Battle Points</h4>

    It could be said that Nan Gongshi¡¯s hospitality was very well prepared!

    The entire area consisted of vis, Nan Gongshi brought the two to one of said vis where there was even a bath and a change of clothes ready for them.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li bathed themselves and finally returned to their former cleanliness. Bai Li changed into a dress, deciding not to wear the prepared traditional outfit.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Sacred Armor had been utterly destroyed and there was no possible way that it would have automatically repaired itself. He changed out of it and tossed it into a spatial rune equipment, putting on abat uniform out of habit.

    After washing away their exhaustion, they detected the aroma of cooked food.

    ¡°Come and get some food, the days spent on Hell Ind have given me hunger pains!¡± Nan Gongshi said in a yful manner.

    ¡°Don¡¯t mind if I do!¡± Bai Li chirped. As a greedy little fox, she was already tempted by food.

    Qin Feng sat down and began to eat. The dishes that Nan Gongshi disyed were all made from materials gathered from A-tier ultra beast generals. Combined with the chefs¡¯ output quality, chefs who have studied and practiced cooking all their lives, this was definitely not like Qin Feng¡¯s out-in-the-wild barbeques. This was the kind of food to savor.

    After fine dining and drinking, the three found themselves washed with fatigue. After such a stressful battle over a long time, Nan Gongshi did not have the energy to make any more small talks.

    He was very smart as well as there were long days ahead of them. Qin Feng epted his hospitality, which meant that these two now had some kind of a connection.

    Then, Qin Feng retreated to the room prepared for him.

    Bai Li was already in the soft andfortable bed, sleeping soundly.

    Qin Feng sat down cross-legged and focused on his dantian.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    The turbulent internal force from other peoplebined with the elixirs he frequently used and spirit herbs that were converted into internal force were all consumed by him.

    However, the battle against Mohrian as well as He Tianxing had him exhaust a huge portion of his internal force. The internal force inside Qin Feng¡¯s dantian did not increase, instead he required more time to replenish his lost energy.

    Qin Feng was not really bothered, he was tired and crawled onto the bed before fading away into a deep sleep.

    This battle really took too long.

    ***

    Qin Feng and Bai Li slept for a whole day and a whole night.

    In the matter of 24 hours, the Huaxia Alliance battle was boiling with the news!

    After all, ck Citadel was a city so strong that it rivaled Dragon Capital. They even had a few S-tiers defending it, with perhaps maybe even more S-tiers hidden in the shadows. They were among the leaders of the Dark Coalition.

    Now that ck Citadel was attacked by an A-tier beast deity and was almostpletely destroyed, how would there not be news about such an event?

    However, the news about Qin Feng shing with He Tianxing was not spread out. The rest of the people on that bridge were Dark Coalition members. The incident about He Tianxing getting attacked was naturally kept under wraps.

    Nan Gongshi and the others also did not know what kinds of earth-shattering deeds the already respected Qin Feng had done.

    Despite this, Qin Feng had be strong enough for them to value!

    He could instantly kill an A-tier!

    He could battle an A-tier beast deity for three days straight!

    After people heard of this, the thing that caused the most uproar was that Qin Feng was only B3 tier.

    Some people began to pay closer attention to Qin Feng and to the Fengli Organization.

    After sleeping for a while, Qin Feng recovered from his exhaustion.

    Nan Gongshi was not in the vi. This vi was specially made for Qin Feng with the purpose of entertaining him.

    Qin Feng got up and took a bath with Bai Li before heading out.

    ¡°Where are we going?¡± Bai Li asked curiously.

    ¡°To the Huaxia Alliance¡¯s headquarters!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    Bai Li nodded and flipped on hermunicator before starting to scroll through the clothing on disy in the battle. After spending a month on Hell Ind, she did not have the time to show herself off!

    Qin Feng activated the aircraft and piloted it toward Dragon Capital¡¯s fifth level.

    The most iconic building of the capital was a skyscraper. On the very top of this building wererge words that said, ¡°Huaxia Alliance¡±

    Bai Li had never entered the conscious world and did not know that the Huaxia Alliance building also looked the same in the conscious world. While you could enter it with a single thought and open up any conference room, it was not the case when it came to reality.

    When Qin Feng walked in with Bai Li, they saw that the first floor was densely packed with people. Tasks marked as E-tier and below were announced here and everyone on the floor looked very young.

    In Dragon Capital, aptitude users who were E-tier and below were all recently awakened people.

    Qin Feng took the elevator and reached the fifth floor.

    They saw arge screen as they stepped through the door, rows of names were being disyed on a grid along with a series of numbers following them. On the topyer of this grid were the words,

    ¡°Point List¡±

    This was where Dragon Capital calcted battle points and where such points could be exchanged for items.

    However, exchanging points for items could be done in the conscious world. The people that came here did note to swap for items, they came to swap items for points.

    Qin Feng, along with Bai Li, approached a not busy window.

    The receptionist behind the window was surprised, mostly from how young Qin Feng looked but very quicklyposed himself and saluted, saying with a smile. ¡°General Sir, what can I do for you?¡±

    ¡°I want to exchange items for points!¡±

    ¡°Very well, please disy your items and in ordance to the rules, the estimated value of the item will be converted into points with a 10% cut off and items can only be exchanged for other same level items that could be obtained with points!¡±

    ¡°Right, I understand,¡± If it were not done, then people could have just used a lot of F-tier items to swap for one A-tier treasure. The Dragon Capital¡¯s vault would long be empty!

    ¡°May I know the tier of the items you are exchanging for so I can get a professional appraiser, Sir?¡±

    Qin Feng said without hesitation, ¡°S-tier god weapon.¡±

    The others werepletely unnecessary.

    There was a huge amount of A-tier rune equipment inside Qin Feng¡¯s inventory. These were what he looted from dead aptitude users. However, if he traded them with the Huaxia Alliance, the items he would get back were the things that he already had or could obtain on his own!

    What he needed were S-tier items.

    ¡°Huh?¡± The receptionist was stunned, not expecting Qin Feng, a B-tier aptitude user, of all things, to have a sudden request for an S-tier god weapon.

    However, since the beginning of the Great Rift Age, in addition to horrible crises, there were people lucky enough to obtain all kinds of treasures. When the receptionist saw that Qin Feng was absolutely serious, there was a moment of hesitation before they said, ¡°Please wait a moment, Sir. I¡¯ll call an appraiser for you immediately, you may wait over there!¡±

    The receptionist took Qin Feng to a private room on the side.

    As they left, the people who were in the hall shifted their eyes and discussed in a hushed tone.

    ¡°That¡¯s one lucky kid!¡±

    ¡°He looks a bit familiar!¡±

    ¡°Wait! Isn¡¯t he that prodigy fromst year?!¡±

 Chapter 774 - Master Long

    <h4>Chapter 774: Master Long</h4>

    ¡°What? Last year¡¯s Prodigy? He¡¯s already a B-tier, how old is he? A twenty-year-old B-tier?¡±

    ¡°You guys really don¡¯t know who he is! That¡¯s Qin Feng. He should be 18 this year. He killed 30 A-tiers at the Dusk Dragon Auction beforeing back from Hell Ind!¡±

    ¡°Huh? Hell Ind? The guy actually had the audacity to go to a ce like that?¡±

    Everyone was surprised, some were full of admiration, while others wallowed in envy.

    Qin Feng knew none of this, he was waiting in a private room and after a while, a handsome and mature-looking man entered.

    The vibe that this man gave off to others was special.

    While he looked to be about thirty five or thirty six years old, upon closer inspection the glossiness of his skin made him resemble more of a twenty year old. He looked confident and at ease, frivolous to whatever the world could throw at him.

    That kind of princely nature,bined with his aloofness and the sense of superiority he gave off made him hard to ignore.

    When Qin Feng and this other man¡¯s eyes met, in that instant he knew that this man was no pushover.

    He had only seen that kind of gaze in one man!

    And that was Z!

    This person was very old!

    ¡°Hello, hello, number one prodigy. So lucky to be meeting you!¡± The man approached, reaching out to shake Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Hello, Sir!¡± Qin Feng responded to the handshake, he even instinctively used the man¡¯s honorifics.

    The man paused for a moment, momentarily raising his eyebrows as he nced over Qin Feng and the look on his face, then returned to his smile.

    The receptionist from before said, ¡°This is the S-tier appraisal master, Master Long! He will be appraising your items and estimating the value!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Qin Feng nodded his head.

    ¡°You may leave first!¡± Master Long asked the person to leave. They were only a D-tier aptitude user, the woman was only at the very baseline of cultivation and had not seen battle before. If there was an S-tier god weapon present there would be no way for her to resist the pressure brought on by such a powerful weapon.

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± The woman respectfully bowed and left.

    There were only three people left in that private room.

    ¡°Alright, Prodigy Qin. Let me see what kind of treasure you obtained from Hell Ind?¡± Master Long was obviously very curious.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°I got this from Dark Citadel. Hell Ind is sheer wilderness, you won¡¯t get any god weapons out there!¡±

    The other nodded in approval of Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    ¡°Bai Li, seal this space first!¡±

    Qin Feng did not need to say it out loud, but he was worried that Master Long might misunderstand him so he decided to voice out the order.

    Master Long did not refute and Bai Li acted to put this ce under a Spatial Lock.

    Suddenly, the surrounding area warped into a different realm. Not only that but here, it was as if they were inside Bai Li¡¯s space. Not even He Tianxing would be able to feel the presence of his sword here.

    Bai Li took out the sword from the space andid it out on the disy stand.

    The sword measured up to 1.8 meters long, and the moment it appeared it seemed to have realized it lost its owner and let out a low humming sound that gave everyone present goosebumps.

    Master Long was curious at first, but he was a bit more inattentive. At this point, his eyes widened as he got surprised.

    For many years, there had not been an incident such as this, he almost lost hisposure and audibly gasped.

    ¡°The Sky Demon Sword?¡±

    Was this not He Tianxing¡¯s weapon?

    Master Long immediately moved his face closer to inspect it, looking up and down before concluding that this was indeed the Sky Demon Sword. Nothing on it would have marked it as a fake.

    With that in mind, Master Long raised his head and looked at Qin Feng, he had a very strange expression on his face when he did.

    If even something like this could be obtained, would that not drive He Tianxing insane?

    However, as an appraiser, Master Long had some things that he could not ask!

    That made his mind itch.

    Despite that, he quickly recovered his professionalposure, politely coughed and said, ¡°This god weapon is indeed an S-tier god weapon. It is very powerful but it has an obvious issue. It is an attunement weapon and its current owner is an S-tier ancient warrior with a powerful consciousness. If you want to erase the trace of this attunement you¡¯d need at least an SS tier aptitude user! For someone like that to even do such a thing, I¡¯m afraid that would cost more than what this sword is worth!¡±

    Qin Feng naturally understood this but this problem was easily solved.

    ¡°I believe Master Long can feel it too. We created a space thatpletely istes the sword and temporarily seals it up. I also have something else...¡±

    Qin Feng took out the Magical Tesseract and exined its functions. Master Long¡¯s eyes lit up, not expecting Qin Feng to have so many treasures. He felt that this Magical Tesseract was more powerful than the Sky Demon Sword.

    When Qin Feng finished the exnation and continued, ¡°I can temporarily put the Sky Demon Sword up on the internalwork and wait until there¡¯s someone who can redeem it, then give me the points!¡±

    This was also counted as apromise.

    Mainly, that would also open up some level of authority.

    There was a limit when it came to trading items for points, but when normally carrying out tasks for the Human Alliance, there were no limits on the points that could be gained.

    Qin Feng was assigned two missions by the Human Alliance, one in Dusan Basin and another in the East Sea. Both missions were rewarded locally but theirpletion had been recorded by the Human Alliance in point umtion.

    However, the points he gained were those after conversion. Dusan Basin gave 3,400 and East Sea gave 5,200, which only added up to about 8,000.

    An S-tier item would cost up to at least a few million points which Qin Feng could not exchange for right now, but as long as he had a goal, the points would flow in naturally!

    However, Master Long did not agree with Qin Feng¡¯s suggestion and said, ¡± No, no, I¡¯ll ask someone to take this sword away immediately!¡±

    He turned on hismunicator and began to call someone.

    This time, half an hour passed before the other person hurried over.

    When the person was at the door, before Bai Li even had time to retract her space they had already made their entrance and stepped in.

    This man was about two meters tall and had an incredible physique, like some kind of metal tower. He exuded a tremendous amount of pressure.

    Qin Feng¡¯s pupils suddenly shrank!

    An S-tier!

    This was definitely an S-tier ancient warrior!

    ¡°Thirteenth Uncle, you called for me!¡± The man said in a deep voice.

    Master Long looked very happy and waved the man over. ¡°Little Yue Yue,e and take a look at this!¡±

    From what it sounded, it was a pretty ridiculous name* but Qin Feng was able to figure out the person¡¯s identity!

    ¡®If these two are uncle and nephew, both surnamed Long, then wouldn¡¯t this person be the strongest in the Long family¡¯s 25th generation, Long Yue!¡¯

    The Long family was an ancient martial arts family before the Great Rift Age, only their internal circles would know how long the family had been around!

    However, since the establishment of Dragon Capital, Long Ting was the duke of Dragon Capital. She was two hundred years old and had ims of being the Long family¡¯s 28th generation¡¯s strongest!

    Long Yue was her uncle!

    Although there were sometimes huge differences in generations and ages in such arge family, what Qin Feng was more concerned about was the fact that Long Yue called Master Long as his thirteenth uncle.

    ¡®Dragon Capital really does have crouching tigers and hidden dragons, even an appraiser is S-tier!¡¯

    Trantor¡¯s Note: Little Yue Yue in the original text was called ¡®Ð¡ÔÀÔÀ¡¯ which can be misheard as ¡®Ð¡ÔÂÔÂ¡¯ which trantes to ¡®Little Moon Moon¡¯!

 Chapter 775 - Wanzongâ€™s Spirit Chain Rend

    <h4>Chapter 775: Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend</h4>

    By now, Master Long had already told Long Yue about Qin Feng¡¯s Magical Tesseract and the Sky Demon Sword.

    Long Yue nced at Qin Feng, the face on this person was much too young and they did not have that wizened expression that Master Long had!

    ¡°How did you get the Sky Demon Sword? Even knowing that I just so happened to be missing a sword? I think that there¡¯s something fishy about this Magical Tesseract!¡±

    When speaking, Long Yue¡¯s baritone voice seemed as if he was putting out arge amount of pressure onto people.

    Qin Feng raised a brow as he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that you¡¯re missing a sword, but this sword was snatched right out of He Tianxing¡¯s hand!¡±

    Long Yue¡¯s deep set eyes locked onto Qin Feng. ¡°By you?¡±

    Qin Feng adjusted his jaw. ¡°By my wife!¡±

    Bai Li also looked at Long Yue with a displeased gaze as she said, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m not strong enough to snatch it away? You take out a god weapon right now and I swear that it¡¯ll disappear!¡±

    Long Yue¡¯s gaze fell onto Bai Li and sensed the other¡¯s aura. He was confused, then as if he just realized something, he reflexively raised his eyebrows.

    Although it had a human form, he was definitely looking at some kind of Spatial Behemoth, not only that it was at A-tier deity ss!

    Now he was fully convinced by this.

    As for Qin Feng calling Bai Li as his ¡®wife¡¯, he was not surprised either. In the end times, sometimes ultra beasts were more reliable than humanpanions, not to mention, Qin Feng and Bai Li probably had a contract!

    Nobody could exceed the amount of trust Qin Feng put into Bai Li!

    ¡°Well, in that case, what would you want to exchange for? You can swap for points or items!¡±

    This was exactly what Qin Feng needed.

    ¡°I want to take a look at the Dragon Capital¡¯s inventory first!¡± He said.

    ¡°Of course!¡± Long Yue immediately adjusted Qin Feng¡¯s authorization.

    [Beep Beep]

    In Qin Feng¡¯smunicator, the battle point exchange page popped up and showed that he had only a pitiful amount of around 8,000 points. For the S-tier items that were on disy, he saw that they cost up to millions of points and could not be exchanged for.

    He quickly scanned through everything on the list.

    S-tier god weapons, S-tier god armor, he even saw a few sacred stones.

    These things could be bought outside of this trade, and the thing Qin Feng did notck was money.

    However, he soon found a few that could not be bought outside!

    [Sr Cycle] S-tier ancient martial arts.

    [Boundless de Intent] S-tier martial arts style.

    [Apocalypse Star] S-tier machine blueprints.

    Qin Feng looked through them one by one, fascinated by many things.

    Dragon Capital was much more bountiful than the Northern Region.

    He could count the inventory of the Northern Region with his fingers but when he saw the inventory in Dragon Capital, he saw that there were hundreds of selections.

    All of these were umted over time!

    Suddenly, Qin Feng¡¯s attention was locked onto one martial style.

    [Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend] S-tier martial arts style!

    There was even an introduction for this style written under the name.

    [Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend was created by Lin Wanzong, a Dark Coalition monster, about 100 years ago. It allows one¡¯s de to condense their soul into it and unleash ten thousand strikes at once. Befitting spectral themed techniques, this ability can allow a single person to take on an army!]

    [P.S.: Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend needs a weapon built with a Soul-lock Stone in order to achieve its maximum effect!]

    A Soul-lock Stone was also an S-tier item. It had the unnatural effect of being able to steal the souls of ultra beasts and humans alike.

    After closely reading through Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend¡¯s description, Qin Feng finally pointed to the martial arts style and said, ¡°May I swap for this one?¡±

    While He Tianxing¡¯s god weapon was powerful, Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend was a martial arts style and when put intoparison, the martial arts style was much more valuable.

    Long Yue and Master Long were both taken aback.

    ¡°You want that one?¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡±

    ¡°Maybe consider something else? I mean, after Lin Wanzong created this martial arts style, there hasn¡¯t been anyone who has been able to properly learn it, even those who have studied this martial arts style for decades were unable to use this move to its greatest extent. Not to mention, a Soul-locking stone is extremely rare to find!¡± At this point, Master Long tried to persuade him.

    Long Yue added, ¡°Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend needs to absorb a lot of souls for it to be able to unleash its great power. Besides, Lin Wanzong was a murderous psychopath, I wouldn¡¯t rmend you pick up this skill!¡±

    Qin Feng then asked, ¡°Ultra beast souls, can¡¯t those be absorbed too?¡±

    Master Long was caught off guard by that question, but he remembered that Qin Feng was the number one prodigy. After this, he would have to keep a close eye on Qin Feng, even more so when he knew about Qin Feng¡¯s record!

    He had hunted down many, many ultra beasts.

    All of a sudden, it felt like Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend suited him very well!

    ¡°Are you sure about this exchange?¡± Master Long asked.

    ¡°Yes, I am!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    ¡°Very well, I will retrieve it for you,¡± said the appraiser.

    He left the room, exiting Bai Li¡¯s spatial lock and activated a special spatial waymark which allowed him to enter the Dragon Capital¡¯s vault and retrieve the manual for this martial arts style.

    Not more than three minutester, the martial arts style manual was in Qin Feng¡¯s hands!

    Qin Feng checked it for a moment and found that there were no problems, then he handed the Sky Demon Sword to Long Yue.

    Long Yue touched the Magical Tesseract and after learning about how it could be used, he thought for a moment, then started to insert S-tier materials into the Tesseract as if they did not cost him a lot of money to get in the first ce.

    It took a full hour before Long Yue changed this weapon. The moment it was taken out, a bright beam of light burst out from the de!

    Sching!

    A sword sh burst out, mming into the surrounding silver runes.

    Not only did this sh into the ground, this shpletely sliced through Bai Li¡¯s Spatial Lock.

    Of course at this time, her spatial lock would have had no effect.

    That was because He Tianxing¡¯s Sky Demon Sword had disappeared without a trace. The sword in Long Yue¡¯s hand had apletely new appearance!

    Not only that, borrowing the light of Qin Feng¡¯s Magical Tesseract, the sword raised in power again.

    ¡°This Magical Tesseract is a useful thing!¡± Master Long said before shaking his head. ¡°Forget it, on a gentleman¡¯s honor I won¡¯t ask you to sell that item!¡±

    Qin Feng then said, ¡°If necessary, I can lend you the Magical Tesseract at any time!¡±

    ¡°Alright, but I¡¯d need to make some preparations! Comee, add my contact number!¡±

    Qin Feng opened up hismunicator and added the other¡¯s number. At this time, he also learned of the appraiser¡¯s full name.

    ¡®Long Yunyi? I¡¯ve never heard of him, maybe it¡¯s been too long since this man¡¯s tales were told!¡¯

    However, considering that Qin Feng had never heard of the man before only made the appraiser more unfathomable.

    After all, even Long Yue referred to him as ¡®Thirteenth Uncle¡¯, and his rank was not too far away. This meant that this person had to have been alive for at least two hundred years.

    A person like that still alive and kicking in the Dragon Capital was a powerful representative!

    The two sides reached a consensus, this exchange was a joy for both the host and the guest.

 Chapter 776 - Glorious Return

    <h4>Chapter 776: Glorious Return</h4>

    ¡°Thank you Master Long and Sir Long Yue. I¡¯ll be leaving now!¡±

    Qin Feng bid the two farewell. Bai Li lifted the spatial lock after Long Yue had the Sky Demon Sword in his hands. By the time Qin Feng wanted to leave, he did not try to hide it and opened a spatial passage directly in front of them.

    The two had nned to directly leave Dragon Capital.

    After all, the news that Qin Feng hade to redeem an S-tier item had probably already spread!

    Qin Feng and Bai Li returned to Fengli City.

    Meanwhile, news was quickly spreading throughout ck Citadel.

    ¡°Duke, ording to the news Qin Feng was in Dragon Capital and sold the Sky Demon Sword. I¡¯m not sure if the news is urate or not, after all the Sky Demon Sword is a weapon that is bound to its original wielder!¡± Fire Phoenix reported anxiously.

    He Tianxing fell silent.

    Previously, he still had some vague indication of where the Sky Demon Sword was but he could not summon the sword back, as if it was in a different ne. That meant that just now, what just happened was that he hadpletely lost connection with his weapon.

    All of a sudden, He Tianxing was extremely mncholic as if he had lost the most important thing in his life.

    By the time the news came, He Tianxing was already mentally prepared.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine, I already know. You can go now.¡± He Tianxing said.

    Fire Phoenix was obviously a little confused when she saw He Tianxing¡¯s calm face. She could only regard that as her City Duke¡¯s enigmatic nature and did not dare ask anymore so she carefully started to depart.

    After Fire Phoenix was gone, He Tianxing¡¯s expression twisted in anger.

    ¡°Qin Feng!!!¡±

    He would remember that name.

    Just when he was about to get angry, a sudden pain struck through his abdomen. He Tianxing¡¯s face was now twisted in pain, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.

    He pressed the bandages on his abdomen as ck blood began to stain it.

    An S-tier Undead Puppet, the effects definitely were not something to scoff at. Otherwise, Kounsat would not have been able to hold off so many A-tiers for so long. Even S-tiers had to be careful with him!

    Kounsat was a master at corpse toxin. He Tianxing was fully capable of going to Fengli City and killing Qin Feng, but he was seriously injured and was a little wary of Bai Li¡¯s true identity, as such he did dare take action.

    ¡°Damn it, do I really need to find that Light God old coot to heal me?¡± He Tianxing held a hand over his wound, his heart pulsed with sheer rage.

    The moment one reached S-tier, it was difficult for them to get healed by ordinary ability users.

    However, when seeking out other S-tiers, things such as ckmailing was moremon than finding aid, that or something tricky would ur as another party became privy to your physical condition.

    S-tier aptitude users controlled massive powers and a huge amount of resources. This was a position that all S-tiers shared, but the allocation of resources depended on their strength!

    He Tianxing was hesitant to move!

    Compared to He Tianxing, Qin Feng was in a very happy mood.

    After getting rid of the hot potato that was the Sky Demon Sword, he managed to exchange it for a new S-tier martial arts style. He knew that the trip to Hell Ind had been different from what he nned, but the results were very good!

    After returning to Fengli City, Qin Feng naturally greeted the people to announce that he had returned!

    ¡°President, I heard that ck Citadel was attacked by a beast deity! Thank goodness you¡¯re alright!¡±

    ¡°Yeesh! Of course the president¡¯s alright! What are you worried about?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, with Lady Bai Li beside him, he¡¯ll be fine!¡¯

    ¡°After more than one month of Lady Bai Li not being with the organization I was worried that some B-tier lords woulde over and cause trouble!¡±

    ¡°If so, then I¡¯m more worried about A-tiers keeping their eyes on us!¡±

    Everyone had something to say, but from the way they said things it was obvious how important Qin Feng was to them.

    Qin Feng was the backbone of the entire organization.

    Of course, be it lone B-tier or A-tier groups. If someone dropped, then the group itself would eventually fall apart.

    However, with Fengliing up and up so quickly this was bound to cause people to worry.

    Qin Feng was also paying attention to this phenomenon!

    The Fengli Organization was way too young!

    ¡°Afterwards, I will be heading to Cinderst City. If there is anything, you will find me there!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Everyone was surprised, but there was no doubt that they were all extremely happy.

    Qin Feng being around and him not being around were like twopletely different scenes.

    Later, Xue Xingfu was called over by Qin Feng so they could both privately sort through the loot that he had picked up during his time on Hell Ind!

    ¡°This...all this is...¡± Xue Xingfu looked at the spatial rune equipment one after the other and randomly picked one up. This spatial rune equipment contained items of great value, not to mention there was a sizable amount of power credits in it.

    That was because all of this money was originally used for the Dusk Dragon Auction!

    Qin Feng said, ¡°Go to Zong Qianli, you can hand some of this to the guy. You don¡¯t need to rush the sales of these, take it at your own pace. However, I want them to provide an S-tier material. A Soul-locking Stone!¡±

    ¡°Soul-locking Stone?¡± Xue Xingfu remembered reading something about that kind of treasure then nodded and said, ¡°Understood!¡±

    As for how much that he needed to give to Zong Qianli, Xue Xingfu had already calcted the amount that would get him the greatest benefit!

    Qin Feng rested for about two or three days. During this period, Z did not appear but the deadline where they agreed upon when the Cinder Pine fell was fast approaching!

    As such, on the third day he had already gone to Cinderst City and reached the fortress that housed the entrance to the Cinderst Realm!

    There were more and more peopleing these days, there were even some d in cloaks and masks. There was no doubt that these people were from the Dark Coalition.

    However, people of Fengli City kept one eye open and one eye shut, not really caring too much about it.

    The aptitude users guarding the area, Jin Hao, Fu Wenjie and He Liming had a leisurely time.

    Bai Li¡¯s presence here before made the people here not want to underestimate the aptitude users defending the area. Even if she had left for more than a month, nobody wanted to act rashly.

    Only if they had heard the news about Bai Li having died out in the wilderness would they actually dare to try anything.

    Now that the two of them had returned, that was bound to draw attention.

    ¡°Oh no, that silver-haired witch is back!¡±

    ¡°Why do I get the feeling that her aura got stronger?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, seeing her I don¡¯t even want to lift my head, now I can¡¯t even look at her skirt! This feeling of wanting to kneel down and keel over, I hate it!¡±

    Although people were unhappy, they were helpless and feared Bai Li.

    This was the sheer pressure of a beast deity.

    Then Qin Feng appeared, making them remember things from before. Every news about Qin Feng being able to take on armies flooded back.

    ¡°The President of Fengli is back!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s him!¡±

    ¡°You probably don¡¯t know, but the President of the Fengli Organization has done a lot of good things!¡±

 Chapter 777 - Entering the Cinderclast Realm

    <h4>Chapter 777: Entering the Cinderst Realm</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s name got more and more famous, and his identity was always different.

    Now, he was a General of the Human Alliance, he could lift a finger and send the people who cause a scene on extremely dangerous missions. This case was in line with the saying ¡®resolution without drawing de¡¯.

    Therefore, these people would never dare to provoke Qin Feng again!

    Qin Feng did not bother with what these people were thinking and checked up on Fu Wenjue and the other two before they guided him into the Cinderst Realm.

    Although he technically owned the realm, he was not familiar with it. Fortunately, there had been countless peopleing to explore before. After all, there were a few simple maps provided.

    As soon as Qin Feng entered, he felt a scorching heat. Even being an aptitude user, this was something he could actually feel!

    The temperature of the surrounding air was above 40 degrees.

    When he looked around, he saw an orange sky and ckened dirt. He was surrounded by different tents scattered about, there was even litter on the ground. Not only that, there were some trenches dug into the ground further away but those looked like they were iplete. Their surroundings were extremely sparse.

    This was normal though, Qin Feng¡¯s Cinderst Realm was different from Hell Ind. It was fully open, Qin Feng did not leave any manpower within to defend it and allowed aptitude users to enter.

    The good news was that Qin Feng had long stabilized the spatial crack that led to the realm, as such the aptitude users that entered the area had eventually cleared out the ultra beasts surrounding the perimeter, making it temporarily safe.

    Qin Feng saw some people that were either resting here or preparing to go out with a hunting party.

    He took out his aircraft and brought Bai Li on board, heading out on the path designated by the map.

    The others turned their attention to these two strangers.

    ¡°That guy¡¯s got to be crazy, right? A hover car in the Cinderst Realm?¡±

    ¡°It looks strange! It could be a new model of aircraft from the Fengli Organization!¡±

    ¡°An aircraft is just asking for death! Don¡¯t they know how powerful the Pyrocrows are?¡±

    The Cinderst Realm was not just home to the Cinderst Golems or the Cinder Pine. Many people learned that the most troubling thing was not a Cinderst Golem, but in fact a flock of Pyrocrows!

    These kinds of creatures were only C-tier and their numbers reached about a thousand and above when they moved. Even if a team was led by a B-tier, they would end up being engulfed in mes. Aerial travel was not a good idea in this realm.

    However, this kind of danger was no issue for Qin Feng or Bai Li!

    They did not go very far before they suddenly attracted a flock of Pyrocrows.

    The Pyrocrows saw a lone aircraft and thought it was going to be easy prey, preparing a fireball in their beaks, wanting to knock it out of the sky for intruding on their aerial domain.

    They swooped down, moving as if a sea of fire was raining down from the sky.

    However, when they were about a hundred meters closer, Bai Li merely raised her gaze and let a trace of her aura leak out.

    ¡°Squawk!¡±

    The leading Pyrocrow was shocked and immediately scattered. The other Pyrocrows would naturally sense Bai Li¡¯s aura.

    A-tier beast deity!

    Among ultra beasts, the caste system was even more ingrained and they did not dare vite it.

    The aura of a beast deity, even if a little bit more was unleashed, it would shatter their souls!

    This fear was deeply ingrained, how would these Pyrocrows daree an attack now? They would rather try to grow a new pair of wings just so they could get further away faster!

    The neat formation of the Pyrocrows were thrown into chaos, bumping into one another as they tried to escape, nothing dared to stop Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft.

    In the blink of an eye, the aircraft flew past the flock of Pyrocrows.

    Through this way, Qin Feng went on unimpeded. He did not even bother using his dark ability to hide himself, ultra beasts fled as far as they could as he got closer.

    Gradually, they reached far beyond where the B-tiers have explored.

    However, there were some daring and artistically talented aptitude users who dared to enter dangerous areas and drew down what they saw.

    Three hourster, Qin Feng finally arrived at his destination.

    In the distance, a Cinder Pine that towered in the sky came into view. Its huge canopy was in full bloom. Not only that, under its dark trunk were exposed roots that were tightly grasped onto a massive red glowing boulder.

    Under this peculiar scene were a bunch of magma pools in all shapes and sizes, nobody knew how many Cinderst Golems were in there.

    ¡°Looks like this tree has reached the level of B5 tier beast emperor!¡±

    If it were not for the fact that the Cinder Pine sapling that came out of the Cinderst Realm consumed so many B-tiers, it could not have grown so quickly.

    Even though the ce where Qin Feng stood had abundant resources, allowing the Cinder Pine to reach its powerful state, yet it was in its early stage. Compared to the Cinder Pine he was looking at now, they hadpletely different levels of strength.

    This Cinder Pine was six to seven hundred meters tall. More importantly, the roots of the tree were all glowing red.

    Even without the support of the mountain below it, the Cinder Pine was still a towering peak.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s strength was different from what it was before.

    ¡°We¡¯ll make a move!¡± Qin Feng said.

    He opened the aircraft¡¯s door and walked out into the air, the Blue me Peacock Wings appearing on his back.

    Bai Li did the same, hopping through space.

    Qin Feng stored his aircraft in his spatial rune equipment and fixed his eyes onto the Cinder Pine in front of him, and his consciousness surged.

    Around him, waves of water began to churn.

    The waves gathered and grew in size to the point where the Blue me Peacock Wings could no longer maintain themselves and were extinguished as Qin Feng quickly swapped his abilities.

    A cloud manifested below his feet, holding him afloat.

    Water runes within the Sacred Water Meteor in his mind finally burst forth.

    It was like the opening of the flood gates, and like a waterfall had been held up in the sky for a moment before it came cascading down and crashed onto the ground.

    The waterfall was a hundred meters wide and felt as if the cosmic river had decided to bring itself down as itpletely enveloped the Cinder Pine.

    As the waterfall came down, the downward direction along with its size caused a resounding impact.

    Boom!

    There was a huge booming noise as the huge Cinder Pine was suddenly shaken and bent a little from the violent m, teetering so hard that it almost crashed into the ground.

    Psssssthsssst!

    Fire was extinguished as hot steam filled the air, even the water that hit the ground was instantly evaporated.

    However, this was not fire reacting with water, this was the force of two runes colliding and canceling each other out!

    ¡°Hrrruuuuuh!¡±

    The trunk of the Cinder Pine cracked open, revealing severalrge mouths as it let out a howl.

    The originally motionless tree suddenly began to move, shaking violently as if possessed by something.

    Meanwhile, the Cinderst Golems near the Cinder Pine felt their sacred tree¡¯s roar and began to crawl out of the magma, but they were suddenly swept aside by a huge current.

    These Cinderst Golems were no match for Qin Feng at all.

    It was at this moment that the huge waterfall was broken through! A glowing bright red crystal tree root pierced through the waterfall and was headed straight for Qin Feng!

 Chapter 778 - B4-Tier

    <h4>Chapter 778: B4-Tier</h4>

    It was a striking hit that would definitely pierce through Qin Feng and annihte him to a tragic death!

    However, Qin Feng was already totally different from before, he had steadily advanced his capabilities. Despite his highly contrasting physique, his overall capabilities were still on par with the Cinder Pine.

    Furthermore, Qin Feng was equipped with his powerful weapons.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was shed forward.

    An array of horrifying annihting force exploded from Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend, first level chain rend!¡±

    Although Qin Feng had onlypleted the initial level research on Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend, his strong natural born talent,bined with experience from his rebirth hadpensated for what wascking. Not only did his consciousness enhance from the Sage Fruits, but his understanding toward ancient warrior skills had also surged a little.

    First level chain rend was without any additional spiritual energy, but the output of it was even more horrifying than the Burning Sword re.

    Combined with the unique attributes of the Verdant Emperor Saber, the instant explosion had immediately broken several roots of the Cinder Pine into pieces.

    ¡°Still seems to be quite energetic!¡±

    With that being said, a swirling whirlpool was formed in between Qin Feng¡¯s eyebrows.

    Within the whirlpool, a clear blue stone emerged and flew out from the consciousness realm. Despite its small size, when looked carefully, it was like a giant.

    The Sacred Water Meteor.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Feng ordered the Sacred Water Meteor, and a horrifying wave instantly exploded, like an overflowing ocean. The massive amount of ocean water then poured down and even formed into a gigantic swirling water pir.

    The surface of the ocean would often experience formation of massive tornadoes, sweeping the ocean waters up to the sky, forming into horrifying draconic suction sts that contained shocking destructive force.

    Now that the Sacred Water Meteor had gained direct control of the ocean waters, swirling them into a hydra-dragon formation, the dragon then wrapped around the Cinder Pine and confined it within.

    Branches and leaves from the Cinder Pine were all swept up in the air. Although they were dampened by water earlier, their mes were still not extinguished.

    All of the ignition sources had disappeared.

    The massive crown of the Cinder Pine had been destroyed and turned bald by the water pir, the intense suction force had then pulled up the entire pine and swept it up to the sky.

    Roots that were even longer than its crown and trunks were trapped in a wild wobble within the water, and they looked like a bunch of wild dancing demons.

    Crack!

    Hit by the insurmountable forces from the vigorous twisting and bending, a cracking sound was then heard from the pine trunk of the Cinder Pine.

    The Cinder Pine was too massive in size, and the noises from the breakdown of the creature were extremely loud too.

    Crack crack crack!

    Barks exploded, roots slowly extinguished and faded, the giant rock that it had entangled onto had also been tossed away.

    Red glows on the roots of the Cinder Pine dimmed down and was greatly reduced, only several ignited tips were left!

    ¡°Retrieve!¡±

    Qin Feng recalled his consciousness.

    Ocean water waves withdrew itself and merged into Sacred Water Meteor, then sucked back into the centre in between Qin Feng¡¯s eyebrows.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    ¡°First level chain rend!¡±

    ¡°First level chain rend!¡±

    ¡°First level chain rend!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s shadow circled around the floating Cinder Pine, and multiple first level chain rends exploded.

    Such an S-tier battle skill would consume quite a significant amount of internal strength. However, after three explosions, Qin Feng had already moved away to the side of the pine!

    The giant Cinder Pine fell from the sky, struggles from the helpless roots were useless, the devastating fall was inevitable.

    Boom!

    The Cinder Pine crashed onto the ground. The impacted ground took the massive hit and it was like an earthquake had erupted as all Cinderst Golems were screaming out their miserable shrieks.

    Their sacred pine had copsed!

    Furthermore, the sacred pine that had fallen to the ground had broken into two from the centre.

    To the Cinderst Golems, it was the end of the world, but for Qin Feng, it was definitely a delightful moment.

    It was the death of the Cinder Pine, countless amounts of pure and concentrated energy exploded forth.

    Qin Feng¡¯s ability had certainly sensed the presence of the energy and began his rapacious absorption.

    The Cinder Pine was a unique creature that was filled with a massive amount of energy.

    With only the energy presence from its death, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had already been fully regenerated.

    Dong!

    Within the consciousness realm, his starglobes vibrated. A gushing energy had broken the limits, arriving at a new height!

    Consciousness B4-tier!

    The energy of the Cinder Pine had yet to bepletely drained out by Qin Feng, and his body was still swallowing it. Within a short moment, energy that was not gained from Hell Ind was now umted in Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was filled with explosive energy again.

    Physical strength B4-tier!

    With the amount of energy avable, Qin Feng could even transform and channel them into his dantian to replenish the consumed internal strength earlier.

    Not only that, Qin Feng was not exhausted from battling a B4-tier beast emperor, he had even be more energetic and stronger.

    The Cinder Pine was definitely a rare treasure!

    Qin Feng descended from the sky and went to dig out the core of the pine. There were still Cinderst Golems that intended to rush forward and kill him, they were all annihted by Qin Feng. The crystal cores that were left behind were definitely a cheap bargain for him.

    Qin Feng no longer cared about those worthless items, but he still wanted to umte them to a significant amount. The Cinderst Golems were crushed into pieces and collected, while the small branches from the Cinder Pine were all picked up by Bai Li.

    ¡°Z mentioned that the Cinder Pine is capable of absorption to strengthen itself, so I am collecting some for my own research!¡±

    If such capability were to be made avable for everyone, it would then be a difficult situation for the ultra beasts to survive.

    Even if the oue of the research would only be the same as Qin Feng¡¯s capability before his rebirth, it would still be quite powerful!

    With that in mind, Qin Feng and Bai Li entered into the aircraft and nned to continue with killing another Cinder Pine to obtain more specimens for their research.

    As soon as they had left far away, shadows of aptitude users began to appear.

    They were afraid of being noticed by Qin Feng¡¯s senses; hence, they were using a unique telescope that would not reveal their presence.

    ¡°Gone, they are gone!¡±

    ¡°That person, was that Qin Feng?¡± Isn¡¯t he a fire and dark ability user?¡±

    ¡°It was him, perhaps he has some unique methods to obtain other abilities. Water abilities being used at this Cinderst Region are really powerful!¡±

    Everyone began tomunicate via their consciousness, it had even resulted in quarrels, but some were already rushing toward the battlefield. There were still unwanted items that were left behind by Qin Feng, but for them, those were highly valuable items.

    Obviously, Qin Feng did not care about those!

    Qin Feng led Bai Li to another giant Cinder Pine and killed it. It was only a B1-tier that was not really powerful, and Bai Li had still not participated throughout the entire battle.

    Bai Li was back to the days where she was no longer required in the battles!

    Now that Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities had gradually improved, the enemies and the required level of understanding toward the explored world had also be stronger and higher. There were still some horrifying enemy encounters, fortunately, he was able to ovee all of them.

    All he needed to do was to be stronger to strengthen his solid foundation!

    It would not take him too long!

 Chapter 779 - Soul-Lock Stone

    <h4>Chapter 779: Soul-Lock Stone</h4>

    It was at the Cinderst Realm that Qin Feng had totally transformed into a water ability user. With his powerful capabilities, it had only taken him one day to wipe out two Cinder Pines that were discovered by the humans.

    But Qin Feng did not stop there, after killing both of the Cinder Pines, he had then returned to Cinderst City.

    ¡°I have prepared the items that you wanted!¡± Qin Feng opened hismunicator and sent across the message to Z.

    Owing a favour from Z earlier and the threatening signs from Z had pushed Qin Feng to clear the debts and return the favour to Z as soon as possible!

    ¡°Deliver them to myboratory!¡± Z answered.

    Qin Feng bluntly declined.

    He was no match against Z, but he had a three-year agreement with Z, and Z had even mentioned that some special methods were used to ensure favourable results.

    Hence, Qin Feng would definitely not go to Z¡¯s headquarters.

    ¡°Where do you intend to store them, I¡¯ll send someone to deliver them! You have to arrange someone for pick up!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    ¡°Alright, deliver them to the Mingsha City of Hui Lu State, remember to deliver them to the location, there will be nobody to get in touch with you beyond the city!¡± Z answered.

    Mingsha City? Z was really everywhere.

    Hui Lu State was the ce where Hu Shan had agreed to hand over to Z. Since then, he had been there. A major part of it was desert, but it was embedded with a lot of minerals underground that were worth a fortune.

    Presence of sandstorm had caused it to be an extremely dangerous and barren area. The endless desert was even embedded with several risky hallucinative sports.

    Mingsha City was the gathering spot for the members of the Dark coalition, hidden with the desert, unknown by others.

    However, those were not worrying issues for Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng had ess to the spatial waymark of Mingsha City.

    ¡°I¡¯ll get Bai Li to send them over!¡±

    Qin Feng passed Bai Li¡¯s number to Z and got Bai Li to help with the delivery.

    Z¡¯s intention to give Qin Feng a hard time had failed to the support rendered by the spatial beast, Z could only begin the research on the freshly obtained ingredients.

    There was another reason behind Qin Feng¡¯s refusal to meet with Z, something that he wished to have had been delivered by Wanzong.

    It was the Soul-lock Stone!

    ¡°Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend is still attached to the Spirit Saber, such a waste to allow such a great weapon to be turned into ashes!¡±

    Not only that, Qin Feng had obtained books recorded with sword style references. There was even a biography of the homicidal maniac that had created the sword style, some of those were added onter by others.

    During the death of Lin Wanzong, millions of spirits that were sealed within the weapon had broken out from the god weapon. The spiritual nature of the weapon slowly faded, and after several continuous battles, the weapon had finally transformed into ashes.

    Nobody knew the steps to reproduce the Spirit Saber because most of the god weapons were unique and distinct. Perhaps they were some leftover treasures from some unknown regions.

    Although some might have obtained the Soul-lock stone, it was still impossible for them to reproduce the Spirit Saber.

    However, the Magical Tesseract had allowed Qin Feng to skip the research on steps to reproduce the Spirit Saber!

    During the night, Qin Feng merged the Soul-lock Stone into his Verdant Emperor Saber. The saber was then enhanced with Myriatonnic Force, Hyper Fluctuation, Dark Burning Sword re, and the attribute of soul-lock was also added on.

    The next day, Qin Feng headed to the Cinderst Realm in high spirits.

    The airflow was still hot and unbearable. Qin Feng identified his direction and drove toward the opposite way. Surprisingly, he encountered a flock of Pyrocrows.

    The flock was obviously different from the one the day before, they were more powerful and in greater numbers. There were more than five thousand of them that flew across the sky, blocking the sunlight. mes fell off from their pping wings and could even form into raining mes.

    Pyrocrows weremonly seen in the region, or perhaps the arrival of the rift opening was crowded by them.

    Bai Li reduced her presence. As the Pyrocrows were from another flock, they would certainly not know of the presence of a beast deity.

    ¡°Wait a minute!¡± Qin Feng stopped Bai Li from annihting the flock of Pyrocrows with her presence!

    ¡°Hmm?¡±

    Bai Li was confused and looked at Qin Feng. She noticed that Qin Feng had set the aircraft to be in a floating state, the Pyrocrows then flew toward a crowd of people.

    The Pyrocrows were surprised by the provocation from the humans as they immediately opened their mouths and let out their annoying noises.

    ¡°Gawk gawk gawk gawk gawk!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield was protecting him,bined with his powerful consciousness, he was not hit by any of the Pyrocrows.

    Any other B-tier aptitude users would have already lost their heads!

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    All of a sudden, Qin Feng split his shadow into thousands of duplicated ones. Not only were they hollow shadows, their movements were also controlled by Qin Feng.

    His Verdant Emperor Saber on hand was only injected with internal strength, and his sword re had already extended to more than ten meters away. Dark mes shot through the flock of fiery red Pyrocrows, it was like a sharpened ck de that had been mercilessly pierced into the flock.

    The Pyrocrows were instantly annihted into pieces!

    Regardless of Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities or the strength of the Verdant Emperor Saber, both were too great a force for the Pyrocrows.

    The Pyrocrows began to fall. Surprisingly, another spooky shadow was torn apart and merged into the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    However, as the shadows got closer to Qin Feng, they had turned translucent again, like they had suffered another bite.

    Qin Feng was shocked.

    But he immediately recovered from it.

    ¡°It is an absorption ability!¡±

    Spirits were enigmatic and mysterious, hidden from the naked eye, and undetectable by consciousness.

    Unless special methods were being used, with the Soul-lock Stone being one of them.

    However, myths of rebirth from death and retaining theplete spirit were long disregarded by the people in the post apocalyptic world.

    Living in such end times was definitely a nightmare for some. Death was a better option, why would anyone choose rebirth?

    For Qin Feng, he understood more about the nature of the absorption ability. Perhaps it was spirits within ultra beasts that were being absorbed by him along with their energy. However, he did not feel remorse or emotional about it.

    A kill was a kill.

    However, he began to frown.

    ¡°I wonder, will this affect the capability of the spirit chain rend?!¡±

    Qin Feng pondered upon this, but he did not test on it immediately, and he continued with the annihtion.

    The entire flock consisted of five thousand Pyrocrows, Qin Feng could only kill thirty to fifty of them within a minute, and it took him ten minutes to kill all of them. Of course there were still some that escaped in different directions. Qin Feng did not bother to go after them either.

    Meanwhile, he was surprised by a circling dark presence around his Verdant Emperor Saber. Qin Feng could feel that it was not rted to its dark mes at all!

    ¡°Could this be the unrestricted state of the Spirit Saber?¡±

    Qin Feng waved his hand, injected his internal strength, and an array of dark traces appeared suddenly.

    Within fifty meters of a fan-shaped area, horrifying wailing cries were unveiled. There were even annoying screaming noises from the Pyrocrows, it was deafening!

    At that moment, even Qin Feng was shocked!

 Chapter 780 - Spatial Overlap

    <h4>Chapter 780: Spatial Ovep</h4>

    Qin Feng did not inject too much internal strength. The input was even much less than the burning sword re that had previously extended for more than ten meters away. However, such a shocking and horrifying mirage had urred.

    Furthermore, Qin Feng had only killed five thousand Pyrocrows, what if there were more, what shocking oue would it have?

    With that in mind, Qin Feng could not wait any longer!

    ¡°Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend, will this fuel my capacity to resist against S-tiers?¡± Qin Feng eximed in excitement.

    Sacred Dark Meteor, Sacred me Meteor, Sacred Water Meteor, S-tier undead puppets, all of those were items that could resist against S-tiers, but all of them would vanish after their usage!

    Qin Feng no longer needed a winning move for himself, instead, he needed a signature move.

    Wanzong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend seemed to be filled with great potential!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, continue!¡±

    Qin Feng stepped onto his aircraft and headed toward another location within the Cinderst Realm. There were stillrge groups of ultra beast spirits that were waiting for him!

    A month had passed, Qin Feng remained within Cinderst City. The Fengli Organization had also undergone fast-paced development. With Qin Feng¡¯s solid foundation and support, they had be bolder in their operations and were not as cautious as before.

    The North Sea State hadpletely fallen under Qin Feng¡¯s influence, even states Along the Sun were the same. The influence of the Fengli Organization was still constantly expanding.

    Compared with Qin Feng¡¯s hectic work, Z¡¯s experiment was rather smooth sailing.

    Something that Qin Feng was unaware of was that since themencement of the Cinderst Realm, Z had directly explored the region and did not sense any presence of S-tier unique fortunes. As such, the region was then abandoned and left to be hunted by the subordinates.

    However, it was too wasteful to assign A-tiers, but it was also impossible for assigned B-tiers to obtain pine essences from the Cinder Pines.

    As he had conveniently saved Qin Feng, he was delighted to have an extra henchman for himself and he left Fengli feeling satisfied. If Qin Feng were to return to Fengli with him as a covert, it would have harmed himself.

    Upon Z¡¯s departure, he had been investigating some regions and then returned to his ownboratory.

    Z¡¯sboratory was not located at any specific location, simr to the Battlegod Tomb that Qin Feng had controlled, it was a small-sized secret territory.

    However, low-end experiments or experiments that required human test samples would definitely be held outside.

    Z looked at his new batch of experiments while the researchers beside him looked at him in awe.

    ¡°Professor Z, it is a sess, another ten percent advancement. The current awakening rate has achieved fifty percent.¡±

    By referring to Qin Feng¡¯s life path before his rebirth, Z¡¯s experiment had also been sped up.

    Certainly, Qin Feng had yed an important role in being the evolving subject of experiment.

    As Qin Feng had partnered with Z, Z had returned to develop the Hui Lu State. He had even discovered some research talents that were undiscovered before rebirth. Furthermore, Qin Feng¡¯s return from the Perished Lands had sourced him with some resources as well as advanced methodologies and technologies that had set his path to explore further. Hence, his experimentation progress had also benefited from it and was spurred on.

    Z was very satisfied, but he had unintentionally recalled Qin Feng¡¯s previous statements.

    Initially, he did not care about the remaining fifty percent rate. However, Qin Feng was very upfront with his refusal, and it had driven his desire to make Qin Feng as his subject of experiment.

    ¡°This is not enough; it has to be a hundred percent awakening rate!¡±

    By that time, would Qin Feng then agree to be his subject of experiment?¡±

    Z was excited about the thought.

    As the other researchers heard Z, their burning excitements were then mmed by the cold reality. However, some of them smelled greed and were secretly delighted by it.

    Z¡¯s research oue was not secured by any non-disclosure protection. Those that were present were prominent and intellectual figures, some of them were only driven by the sole purpose of pursuing their research, while some wished to excavate more for themselves.

    Wealth, power, capability, all of those.

    Z¡¯s research could already provide them with a huge number of profits.

    All potions were sold to the people from the Dark Coalition. With injection modifications, their capabilities would be doubled, and it would definitely be sought after by many.

    Ordinary humans that were not awakened at the age of sixteen but still insist on pursuing the path of an aptitude user would most probably exhaust all of their family fortune to get their hands on a mutant potion from them.

    Hence, a giant loophole was formed to reap benefits from it.

    It was where Qin Feng had seen the overflow of mutant experiments before his rebirth.

    It was at that moment, a beeping alert was heard. Everyone looked at the screen¡¯s notification and raised their eyebrows in astonishment.

    ¡°Is it the rm from experiment base number eight? What is happening? Revolting subject experiment?¡±

    It was amon scene for them. After all, some of those experiment subjects that were captured by them originated from the Human Alliance.

    ¡°Number eight? I remember that there is a devourer that is being cultivated in it, is it inside?¡± Z instantly questioned.

    ¡°Ah, right, yes yes!¡±

    ¡°Correct, the cells are inside, still yet to be transnted onto the experiment subject¡¯s body!¡± The others were instantly alerted by the urgent situation, it was because materials on the devourer were all A-tier and above. Those researchers were also aptitude users themselves, and they knew how precious those materials were. Although Z might be a S-tier, some of those were rare items that were impossible to rece!

    It was because the devourer wasbined with Leviathan¡¯s cells by Z.

    Such an ultra beast would definitely not bring transformation to every human. However, Z often had two different approaches in his experiments in order suit his own high-level awakening, and to create mutant experiment subjects. Thetter could be utilized as his henchmen to scout for more treasures from different regions.

    The devourer was a parent cell, and the cells found on other mutants were all sourced from it.

    ¡°Let me check it out, it is a good opportunity to cultivate a new batch of creatures!¡±

    Z cared very much about his vow. A space was immediately torn apart which allowed him to instantlynd in experiment room number eight.

    In the next moment, Z felt a sense of spatial oppression that he had never felt before.

    Presence of runes gradually diminished from the air, and energy was drained to a low level. Z had even felt that his own energy was being locked and channelled away.

    He was shocked and confused. He did not care to examine the situation within experiment room number eight anymore as a space was torn apart once again.

    However, the space could only fit half of his body in, and the opening was still constantly shrinking.

    Without any hesitation, Z immediately dived in and one of his legs could not fit into it. It was instantly chopped off and left behind.

    Meanwhile, requests for assistance flooded the battle. Slowly, all news disappeared, but everyone knew that the Huaxia region, a city that was controlled by a duke that was at least an A-tier aptitude user, had fallen.

    Chongluo City was one of the top three cities from the Northern region, and it was somehow dragged into a dimensional ovep region.

    Furthermore, horrifying mutations had urred across the region, internal strengths and abilities were deemed unusable.

    Aptitude users were unable to unleash any form of energy. The city that had fallen into dimensional ovep had be heaven for ultra beasts and mutated nts.

    Unfortunately, all of them were unable to escape.

    ***

    Within Cinderst City, Bai Li had instantly received themunication from Shang Han.

    ¡°Deputy Governor Bai Li, as the regent of the Northern Region, I am assigning you to a special mission, I hope that you can head toward Chongluo City!¡±

 Chapter 781 - The Fettering Land

    <h4>Chapter 781: The Fettering Land</h4>

    There had been two urrences of spatial ovepping in thest two hundred years.

    The first time happened on an important highway of a city, which caused countless cars to go missing. Not only that, this incident also caused the disappearance of an A-tier. Naturally, this had caused great panic among the general popce.

    What made this phenomenon rather horrifying was that all spatial waymarks were rejected in these ovepping dimensions¡ªthus, resulting in people who were transported away by the spatial ovep to not be able to return.

    The ce was thus designated as a forbidden zone. Five years after the incident, the A-tier who went missing finally walked out of the ce. From the A-tier¡¯s point of view, he had struggled to live for ten years, causing his powers to be greatly enhanced along the way. However, all of his underlings that were following him that day were all dead.

    The second spatial ovep happened in the wild¡ªthis time in a mountain ridge. The phenomenon onlysted for three days. Yet, after the spatial ovep was over a huge horde of B-tier beast generals that was found flocking together in the mountains. These monsters¡¯ appearance resulted in the total destruction of the colonies around the mountain ridge and a C-tier city.

    Humans, of course, tried to fight back. Yet, the armies that were sent there were too weak to take on these beast generals. The general was killed along with thousands of his soldiers.

    Now, they were witnessing the third spatial ovepping phenomenon! And this time, things were much more dire than the previous two. This time, the spatial ovep happened inside a bustling, lively city!

    In thest two hundred years, humans were not able to figure out what caused the phenomenon. Since before the A.C Calendar started, humanity had always liked to research and figure out answers to mysteries via science and technology. If they could not do so, the most that they could do was theorize.

    Nowadays, the most popr theory amongst the scientists was that when spatial oveps happened, this meant that this specific spot of space and dimension had two different dimensions pressing against one another. When one of the two dimensions was stronger than the other, this would result in a spatial rift where the stronger one devoured the weaker one.

    Right now, humans were already practically living in hell. If there was another much stronger dimension overtaking their turf, things could escte to a muchrger, unbearable scale.

    After listening to what Shang Han had to say, Bai Li¡¯s face turned grim and she gave Qin Feng a look. Seeing this, Qin Feng gave her a nod.

    ¡°Regent Shang, I will head there at once!¡± Bai Li said.

    Hearing this, Shang Han felt relieved. ¡°The dimension around Chongluo City is quite eerie right now. We could not activate spatial waymarks over there. And even if we could activate spatial waymarks that could go there, I would not rmend teleporting there too. Therefore, I¡¯m sorry to say this but you will have to travel there without spatial powers.¡±

    Qin Feng raised hismunicator and answered, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Regent. We¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    ¡°Are you going too, Qin Feng?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡±

    ¡°This mission is really dangerous. The situation there is quite eerie to say the least. Many teams that we sent over have all gone missing. Many of them who got close to the city all lost their powers and abilities, and they could only fight using their fists!¡±

    Qin Feng felt that he had heard something simr before upon hearing this.

    Still, Qin Feng was not going to back down. ¡°If it¡¯s fighting with my fist, I can totally handle it. I have a god weapon with me and I have trained my body a lot since west met. Now, my body is as strong as a B4-tier ancient warrior.¡±

    Shang Han was pleasantly surprised when she heard this. At the same time, she could not help but to feel astonished at how monstrously powerful Qin Feng had be. It was already quite rare to see a prodigy learn and train both abilities and martial arts. And yet, now Qin Feng said he had also trained his physical capabilities too? Damn, was there anything that this young man could not do?

    ¡°Alright then. I¡¯ll be patiently awaiting your good news, Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    After hanging up, Qin Feng and Bai Li immediately got the information and data about the situation at hand from Shang Han via themunicator¡ªthis included the exact, geographical location of where Chongluo City was at.

    When he saw the picture of the city, the fleeting confusion that Qin Feng was feeling in his mind was now cleared off.

    ¡°It¡¯s the Fettering Land!¡±

    Of course, Qin Feng knew where this was since before he was reborned. However, he had never been to this part of the world. Still, he had never known that there was this city that A-tiers frequented in Hui Lu State back then. This was because before he was reborned, around A.C 219, Qin Feng was only an E7-tier. He had only risen up from the slums and walked out of North Sea State. Then, he spent a lot of time traveling to Shadong Town. In other words, he had spent a lot of his youth wandering in areas where E-tiers and D-tiers mostly flocked together.

    Thus, he had never been to Chongluo City.

    In fact, when he was strong enough to go there, the city was already no more. It was instead called the ¡°Fettering Land¡±. And he would have never thought of going to this ce.

    This was because the ce was quite a barren, perilous hellhole.

    Due to the spatial ovep that was urring in the area, abilities, internal energies, runes, consciousness and even the weakest guns could not even function within the Fettering Land.

    Thus, if one needed to fight off ultra beasts in this ce, one could only rely on their own physical bodies. Still, even though there were a lot of D-tier ultra beasts in there, there were also many B-tier ultra beasts roaming around too!

    Without their abilities, even the A-tier ability users stood no chance in taking on the D-tier ultra beasts. Without their powers and abilities, these A-tier ability users were as weak as the civilians.

    To Qin Feng, this ce was of course as dangerous as it was to the other ability users too. However, as mentioned before, he was much more powerful than them.

    ¡°We better head to this spot. By doing that, we could scout from afar and...¡±

    Before Qin Feng could finish his words, hismunicator started ringing. When he looked at it, he was surprised to see that it was Z that was calling him!

    Frowning, Qin Feng epted the call.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I have a task for you. If you can do it, I can call off that Cinder Pine¡¯s Essence deal we madest time.¡±

    ¡°Really?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s eyes widened upon hearing this.

    Right now, Z¡¯s face was also as grim as a brick. One of his legs seemed to be missing. The spatial force within the area was so powerful that it could cut off Z¡¯s limb!

    If he was an S-tier, this would definitely mean that he was gravely injured. However, he was Z. He was able to create spirit by experimenting on himself. Also, his experiment and research had all yielded sess, resulting in him being capable of using pure energies to materialize his own limbs from nothing.

    As seconds went by, sheer energy that was flowing out of his broken limb had slowly morphed into a new leg for him.

    Even though he was able to recover his body with ease, this did not mean that Z would still continue onward to scout the ce himself.

    Z was able to recognize that this phenomenon was a spatial ovep.

    Regardless, he still needed to save his devourer. This was the reason he called Qin Feng.

    After listening to what Z had to say and learning that his task had to do with Chongluo City too, Qin Feng felt that this was his chance to repay his debt to Z in one go. As such, he agreed immediately.

    Then, Qin Feng called up the authorities of Fengli to inform them where he was heading to before doing a spatial leap with Bai Li. In an instant, they had arrived in the wild from the vi.

    ¡°We¡¯re not there yet. But we¡¯re close. Be extra careful when moving around this area.¡± Qin Feng reminded Bai Li.

    ¡°Okay!¡±

 Chapter 782 - To the Rescue

    <h4>Chapter 782: To the Rescue</h4>

    When Bai Li activated her spatial tunnel again, they had leaped to another new area. From here on, they decided to not use a spatial tunnel and briefly blinked a few times ahead. And then, they finally saw their destination.

    Chongluo City looked like a mirage in the desert from afar.

    The original geographical areas and locations were still visible and existing. However, there were several gigantic trees appearing in the middle of the city, already rocking the skyscrapers down while countless ultra beasts roamed around.

    There was an eerie, silver fog looming in the air, making the ce felt like a fleeting, dreamy pce in the clouds.

    Meanwhile, there were also other humans surrounding a small ultra beast. And in front of them was a cloak of silver fog, with a C-tier beast king just a few meters ahead.

    ¡°Chase it in!¡± One of the ability users ordered.

    Then, a D-tier piglet beast was released by these ability users and chased into the silver fog.

    ¡°Squeak!!¡±

    The piglet beast rushed into the fog, which served as a curtain of barrier for the city. As soon as the C-tier beast king saw the piglet beast, it immediately locked its consciousness onto it furiously before lunging at it.

    Seeing this, the piglet beast turned and fled without hesitation.

    However, when the piglet beast went past the silver fog, trying toe back to this side of the dimension, it had vanishedpletely! Even the C-tier beast king too had vanished. It felt as though they had been teleported out of view!

    A momentter, they could see the C-tier beast king re-appear in view, seemingly having finished a meal and slowly walking back to where it was before.

    These ability users seemed to not be fazed by the C-tier beast king¡¯s reappearance. They appeared to have expected this to happen.

    The C-tier beast king was not on the same ne of existence as them. As such, they were not in immediate danger.

    Still, when they saw this, their faces turned grim.

    ¡°It¡¯s expanding again!¡±

    ¡°This time it¡¯s one meter! And it¡¯s expanding in all directions!¡±

    ¡°But it¡¯s only been 10 minutes though! How could this be?!¡±

    After listening to what they were talking about, Qin Feng understood that they were using the piglet beast and beast king to determine the rate of expansion of the spatial ovep.

    And from the looks of it, things were not looking good.

    Not only that, it seemed that they could do nothing to stop it too.

    ¡°It¡¯s here! The equipment is here!¡±

    ¡°Quick! Set it up!¡±

    ¡°Will this work though? After all, Chongluo City has its own dimension stabilizer. Yet, it still sumbed to spatial ovep!¡±

    ¡°We have no choice but to keep trying.¡±

    These ability users then quickly set up the newly arrived spatial device that they got. Still, this was mostly a useless attempt.

    Qin Feng knew that Z should already be in the area. He could be watching them right now.

    If using a spatial device could solve this, Z would have something that was much more powerful and technologically advanced than what they had. And yet, Z could not rescue whatever that he was trying to rescue. Instead, he opted to ask Qin Feng for help.

    Even Z could not solve this by the press of a button on his super machines.

    Meanwhile, he could see a group of people running out of the main entrance of Chongluo City. These people were wearing C-tier and B-tier badges, and wielding weapons in their hands. However, these weapons were not rune equipment, they were just ordinary sabers and swords that one could buy from any low-ranked shops for a few dozen in cash!

    They flocked together to shield a person in the middle. That person seemed to be quite weak. This must mean that this person was an ability user¡ªin the Fettering Land, an ability user was as weak as a kitten after all.

    ¡°Look! It¡¯s the Chongluo City¡¯s First Corp!¡±

    The ability users outside of the fog were quick to recognize who these people were.

    The most powerful person in Chongluo City was the A-tier ability user. However, he usually did not care about the internal matters of the city. He even ran his own business and earned money on the side. Bing the mayor of the city was merely a side-job for him.

    With a mayor like this, it was natural that the others would need to get stronger people to protect the city. And thus, there were other B-tiers too within the city to fill in the protector roles.

    Now, these C-tiers and B-tiers that were fleeing out of the city were mostly relying on the ancient warriors due to them not being dependent on powers and abilities. As they ran out of the city, they ran in random directions like mad men. After all, without consciousness to scan their surroundings, they were as good as blind when in the wild. Even though they were merely one hundred meters away from the ability users outside of the fog, all they could do was stare at the space ahead in despair.

    Qin Feng and the others did not know what these people saw inside the fog. Perhaps it was the view of the other side of the ¡°stronger dimension¡±. Perhaps it was a cloak of silver fog and nothing else ahead of them.

    It was then, the C-tier beast king started to move again. It had noticed that it had new prey!

    The ability users outside of the fog could feel nothing but helplessness.

    ¡°Quick! Come on, just set this damn thing up already!¡±

    ¡°We don¡¯t even know if this will work!¡±

    ¡°But we need to save them!¡±

    ¡°How are we gonna do that?!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! How?!¡±

    These people were overwhelmed with panic and desperation. However, they had no means to help their fellowrades who were trapped inside the silver fog.

    Suddenly, they sensed that someone was stepping toward the silver fog¡ªIt was Qin Feng. The ability users stared at him taking one step and another forward. When they realized that Qin Feng intended to step into the silver fog, their faces turned pale.

    ¡°What are you doing, kiddo?! Come back!¡±

    ¡°Stop! You can¡¯t go in there! It¡¯s too dangerous!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t do it! We can¡¯t lose anyone anymore, given the circumstances. Even if you go in there, you still won¡¯t be able to save them!¡±

    As the ability users tried to talk Qin Feng out of entering the ovepping dimension, the C-tier beast king had already lunged toward the ability users on the other side. The ancient warriors were too weak to hold it off. In just one powerful sh, the beast king was able to cut open the B-tier¡¯s body, leaving a few bloody wounds!

    The B-tier ability user widened his eyes with dread. He was a B-tier, damn it! Under normal circumstances, he could have in this C-tier beast king with ease. Heck, he could kill a thousand of these things. And right now, all he could do was stand there and watch this monster tear him asunder! And without his abilities, he could not even heal and recover his body!

    He was going to die!

    The B-tier had never had this thought shing in his mind so clearly before!

    Suddenly, he could see a silhouette appearing below as he was tossed to the sky by the beast king. It was a young man, wielding a saber that was spewing raging, ck mes. However, as soon as the silhouette became clearer in view, the saber seemed to have morphed into an ordinary saber.

    Regardless, the young man seemed to not hesitate at all when he dashed toward the beast king. He did not use any consciousness, martial arts, abilities... all he did was run toward them. And in five seconds, he had already reached them!

    It was Qin Feng!

    And the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand had lost its ck mes. However, it was still as heavy as ever. And most importantly, the saber still retained the effects of the Grand-ripple Metal!

 Chapter 783 - The Parallel Champion

    <h4>Chapter 783: The Parallel Champion</h4>

    ¡°Pffshht!¡±

    As the saber¡¯s de cut open its flesh, the C-tier beast king let out an excruciating cry before wildly rocking its body, flinging the young man up into the sky.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was at its peak condition due to the numerous physical enhancements he had gone through. As such, he took a flip in the air and then dove straight to the ground agilely. Without his consciousness and internal energy, he had to use his limbs to bnce himself when hended, creating a three-meter wide trench.

    If he were an ordinary human or an ability user that relied only on his powers, his palms would have beenpletely skinned off by now! However, thanks to his enhanced physique, Qin Feng only endured a scrape from the feat.

    Still, danger was still looming in the air.

    ¡°Roaar!!¡±

    The C-tier beast king let out a furious roar as it locked onto Qin Feng. There was a huge cut on its neck¡ªthe wound was much bigger than Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber¡¯s de. It was torn to a much bigger scale due to the properties of the Grand-ripple Metal.

    Despite the cut being around seven to eight meters in length, this seemed like a scratch to the C-tier beast king, which was as huge as a three-floor building.

    Seeing this, Qin Feng frowned. ¡°I should have gone for its head!¡±

    Indeed, if he opted to stab the beast¡¯s skull earlier, his Verdant Emperor Saber could have shredded its brain.

    Nheless, it was already toote. Now that the beast king was provoked and had locked onto him, it would not give Qin Feng a second chance again. In an instant, it swiftly lunged at Qin Feng and attacked him with its massive w!

    ¡°Ah!¡± The ability users let out a cry of shock.

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    ¡°Run! You¡¯re going to die!¡±

    Some of the ability users were female. Therefore, their despairing cries were quite ear-piercing, making the situation seem even more dire and depressing.

    ¡°Quick! We have to retreat!¡±

    ¡°But if we run, what about him? He¡¯s here to help us!¡±

    ¡°Sure, but he¡¯s about to die though!¡±

    The group started to fight amongst themselves. If this were under normal circumstances¡ªwhen they still had their powers, they would have gone ahead and saved Qin Feng. Right now, however, not even one of them believed that this young man could take on the beast king. They believed that Qin Feng would be smashed to pieces by the ferocious beast.

    Yet, things did not turn out the way they expected.

    Qin Feng swung his Verdant Emperor Saber feverishly. In a blink of an eye, a fountain of blood gushed out as the beast king¡¯s w was cut open.

    ¡°Argh!!¡±

    Then, with a terrifying force bursting out of his body, Qin Feng pushed his palm forward! The beast king then lost its bnce and was shoved aside! Seeing his opponent flinch, Qin Feng immediately shed out his saber again, slicing off half of the beast king¡¯s w.

    He did all this without any powers or martial arts. Just a simple sh with great brute force.

    Even though the Verdant Emperor Saber had only a one-meter de, Qin Feng was already capable of using it to destroy the beast king.

    The despairing group was now staring at this bloodied young man with awe. They did not expect things to turn out this way.

    They had fought all the way from the city¡¯s entrance; the fight along the way here was quite gruesome¡ªthey had encountered numerous ultra beasts and had to sacrifice a lot of theirrades to get here. Without their consciousness and internal energy, they felt as though they were as squishy as rabbits.

    And now, they had witnessed someone ying a beast king without any powers.

    This was so unbelievable.

    ¡°Yes! He did it! We¡¯re safe!¡±

    ¡°This guy must be a parallel-trained ancient warrior!¡±

    ¡°Quick! We must escort General Jiang over!¡±

    The group then looked around. There was nothing but thick woods around them. Not only that, they could also see a massive snow mountain in the distance.

    They then became quiet as despair overwhelmed them.

    Were they going to be alright? Could they still get back to their own world?

    ¡°Phew...!!!¡±

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng breathed out a mouthful of burning vapor as he paced his adrenaline. Usually, he was able to kill a beast like this with ease with his powers. He did not think he had to put so much effort to y a lowly C-tier beast king like this.

    As Qin Feng was wiping off the sweat on his forehead, the group of ability users approached him.

    After a brief nce at Qin Feng¡¯s badge, they instantly recognized his identity despite him being so bloodied with the beast king¡¯s blood.

    ¡°This guy is the governor of North Sea State!¡±

    ¡°Ah, this is that governor! He¡¯s so young but is already a B-tier! It must be him!¡±

    ¡°But isn¡¯t Governor Qin an ability user?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re such an ignorant dimwit! This is him!¡±

    As the group was celebrating that they had a B-tiering to their rescue, the B-tier ability user that they were protecting earlier came up to greet Qin Feng¡ªit was General Jiang Haolin, the general who was stationed at Chongluo City. This was actually the day for him to head out of the city to patrol the city borders with his patrol guards. When this spatial ovep phenomenon happened, he was already out of the city¡ªwhich would exin why he was able to escape the city.

    After detailing his escape, Jiang Haolin¡¯s face turned grim and he was depressed again. ¡°Thank you, General Qin. If it weren¡¯t for you, I would have died here.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for thanks, General. You ought to thank the regent for sending me here.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s voice was loud and cold¡ªsome of Jiang¡¯s goons were thinking of leaving him behind to save themselves. Several ability users, having heard him, lowered their heads in shame and did not dare to look at Qin Feng.

    They had lost their powers right now... they were afraid that Qin Feng would kill them.

    ¡°Regardless, you still saved my life. And for that, you have my utmost gratitude. It¡¯s such a shame that I can do so little at the moment; I cannot even activate my spatial rune equipment!¡± Jiang Haolin replied sincerely.

    Due to him being an ability user, Jiang Haolin was the weakest in the group right now. Right now, he could still retain some level of authority and garner some respect from his men; but if things were to go on for another few hours, he could be facing a parley of leadership!

    In this dog-eat-dog world, no one would want to protect a weakling.

    This was why, right now, Jiang Haolin¡¯s first concern was escaping this wretched dimension that made him so powerless.

    ¡°General Qin, I wonder if the regent has found a way to pull us out of this... ce? This whole area has changed so much. Could this be... the infamous spatial ovep?¡±

    Jiang Haolin was a well-informed veteran. As such, he knew about a lot of things that were happening in the world. He had also heard that previously an A-tier ability user was trapped in this spatial ovep world for ten whopping years.

    And everything that was going on near Chongluo City fitted the A-tier¡¯s description of the spatial ovep world.

    Jiang Haolin could not imagine staying in this dreaded world for a whole decade.

    Seeing the general¡¯s depressed state, Qin Feng said, ¡°Follow me, General.¡±

    Then, he walked to the direction from where he emerged earlier.

    Seeing this, the ability users gathered their spirits and followed him.

    A few stepster, they could see a square of silver light ahead¡ªit was a two-meter wide ¡°door¡± made of silver light.

    The ability users were overjoyed when they saw this.

    ¡°So, we can escape?¡±

    ¡°Yes! We can get out of this damn ce now!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s go! I don¡¯t want to stay in this godforsaken ce any longer!¡±

    They then rushed to the ¡°door¡± like excited children, as Qin Feng followed from behind.

 Chapter 784 - Preparation for a Rescue

    <h4>Chapter 784: Preparation for a Rescue</h4>

    Qin Feng did not mind too much about these people¡¯s intent of leaving him behind now. He took a look at Jiang Haolin, who returned his look with a bitter smile, as they walked through the silver-light door.

    As they emerged from the door to the other side, the ability users quickly flocked around Qin Feng joyfully,pletely ignoring their own general.

    ¡°Thank goodness we have General Qining to our rescue!¡±

    ¡°Damn, I didn¡¯t think General Qin had parallel trained so much!¡±

    ¡°And thank you too, Deputy Governor Bai!¡±

    They were rather thankful to Qin Feng and Bai Li¡ªthanks to this couple, they got to live to fight another day.

    Nodding his head, Qin Feng raised his hand and activated his consciousness to summon his water ability to wash the beast king¡¯s blood off him. Now that they were out of the spatial ovep zone, abilities and powers were functioning like normal again.

    Bai Li, on the other hand, was surrounded by a celebrating crowd. After all, her power to pierce through the spatial ovep fog was quite astounding to watch.

    ¡°Is there any way for us to solve this spatial ovep crisis?¡± Qin Feng approached Bai Li calmly.

    From what Qin Feng knew from his memory from before he was reborn, the problem with the Fettering Land was not solved for another ten years. Still, despite its continuous expansion, the Fettering Land had never grown out too much. So, at least for the moment, there was no need to worry that it would consume the Earth¡¯s dimension.

    Bai Li shook her head. ¡°The two dimensions are ovepping too tightly right now. It is almost like there¡¯s a lock! It would be really difficult to separate them. Especially when we¡¯re on the ¡®weaker¡¯ side. And the whole city has entirely fallen to that side too!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Then, you should stay here. The situation on the other side is so eerie and weird. We could not use abilities and consciousness in there. Even if you can manipte dimensions and space, you might not be able to escape from it.¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s face turned grim upon hearing this. This little fox had never encountered a problem that she could not solve with her spatial powers before.

    ¡°Indeed, there¡¯s always some dimensions that are free of the usual rules of the universe. In my inherited memories, I recall that there¡¯s a ce like this. Some call it the Fettered Realm. In this kind of world, I can open up a passage into it on the outside; but I am powerless inside it, making it impossible to open the same passage on the inside.¡±

    After pausing momentarily, Bai Li continued on, ¡°If I¡¯ve reached to the level of a Dimension Regtor, I could then use my spatial powers to dispel this other dimension away.¡±

    Qin Feng could not help but to associate a ¡°Dimension Regtor¡± to an SSS-tier ability user upon hearing it. And an SSS-tier being was mostly a theory, a myth. He had never even heard of the actual existence of such a being on this.

    ¡°Okay, I got it. Let¡¯s just put the means of solving the phenomenon aside and start gathering up supplies. We need sturdy, metal weapons. Perhaps some low-level guns too... Oh, we need food, water and old-world vehicles¡ªyou know, the ones that don¡¯t hover.¡± Qin Feng quickly came up with a n.

    High leveled and powered guns relied on runes.

    The hovercrafts and hovertanks relied on wind runes.

    If one were to bring these two into the spatial ovep zones, they were as good as broken steel.

    As such, it would be better for him to bring the old-world weapons to the other side.

    The others, upon hearing this, realized that the most important thing they ought to be doing right now was to head back to Chongluo City to rescue the people in there.

    ¡°Right! We¡¯re getting them right away!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll deliver them here as quickly as I can!¡±

    ¡°Call up the colonies¡¯ logistics, now!¡±

    They could gather these items from the colonies around Chongluo City. And due to it being the orders of two B-tiers, no one dared to ck off in delivering the goods and vehicles.

    However, they were then faced with another problem¡ªthey had so many cars but no abled body to use them! Qin Feng was just one person. And when he entered the Fettering Land, he could not use his consciousness to control this many cars. Unless he tied all of them with a rope, Qin Feng could not bring them into the city. And even if he did that, when he was attacked by ultra beasts, these defenseless cars would be destroyed within a second!

    A few secondster, two C-tier ancient warriors stood up and volunteered.

    ¡°General Qin, I have parallel trained for several years before. I believe I could be of some help to you.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, we could definitely be useful therepared to these other schmucks!¡±

    If it were not for Bai Li¡¯s abilities to force open an exit on the spatial ovep fog, these two ancient warriors would not be so brave in volunteering themselves.

    Right now, their task was to rescue civilians, not to ughter any ultra beasts that stood in their way. With Bai Li capable of providing an escape and Qin Feng being there to lead, there was nothing to be scared of.

    Besides, this was a golden opportunity to rank up in the alliance! It was quite difficult for parallel trained ancient warriors to earn their name in this world¡ªtheir internal energies were not strong and they had no conscious energies. When facing against ultra beasts, all they could rely on was their own enhanced physique.

    What would take a few seconds to end an ultra beast would take them an hour to do so.

    However, right now the other ability users were rendered powerless due to the spatial ovep phenomenon. Suddenly, they were the only ones with the best hope to take on anything dangerous in there.

    As such, this was their opportunity to make a name for themselves.

    Qin Feng took a brief look at these two before nodding.

    The others, due to Qin Feng and Bai Li being on their side, too were able to calm down and figure out a solution to their current predicament.

    ¡°Ah, of course! We should recruit other parallel-trained ancient warriors too! We need to get the ones who are at least at D-tier. The stronger the better!¡±

    ¡°Indeed!¡±

    ¡°General, I¡¯ll go get help from other cities!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll head to the colonies in that direction!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t forget to send messages to the HQ! And to the ability users¡¯ halls too!¡±

    Everyone started to get busy in preparing for what was toe.

    Jiang Haolin, who had taken enough breather, approached Qin Feng, ¡°General Qin, may I have a word?¡±

    Qin Feng nodded and followed Jiang Haolin to the side. Thetter then activated his consciousness to shield both of them in a conscious barrier. They were the only B-tiers in the area, so the others could not hear what their conversation was.

    ¡°There are still seven B-tiers in Chongluo City. There should be three of them in their offices. In the ability user hall, there is one stationed there too. As for the rest, they should be at their homes.¡±

    Jiang Haolin then detailed all their locations before stuttering in embarrassment, ¡°And... erm... I hope... I hope you could... perhaps... save my wife too... she¡¯s in the vi area...¡±

    Qin Feng looked at him thoughtfully. This man was only thinking about saving his wife now, huh? Why did he not go back to get her when he was near the city?

    Qin Feng shrugged. ¡°Sure. Still, there¡¯s no promises. She could be facing danger as we speak, you know.¡±

    Jiang Haolin¡¯s face was as pale as a sheet, ¡°I understand, General Qin. She¡¯s merely a D-tier... so it¡¯s quite possible that she¡¯s dead by now... but we practically grew up together. We¡¯ve been together for about 40 years now. If the city¡¯s gate was not sealed off by some weird, gigantic nts when I was patrolling outside... and my men wanted to retreat to safety... I would have gone back for her.¡±

    Jiang Haolin was rather powerless as an ability user inside the influence of the spatial ovep. So, with his men, who were still capable of fighting, other than retreating, there was very little he could do. Right now, he regretted not heeding his own will and heading back to save his family.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright, General. I understand. I¡¯ll do whatever I can.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded andforted Jiang Haolin.

    Then, Jiang Haolin added,¡± And...! If you¡¯re interested, we have a warehouse within the city, General Qin!¡±

    This warehouse was the same as the other cities¡¯¡ªthey contained treasures that the city¡¯s defenses had umted over the years. Of course, they did not have anything that was too fancy and overpowered. However, there were still a whole lot of treasures in it.

    It was impossible to bring them all out now. Still, he could still give them to Qin Feng as a form of gratitude.

 Chapter 785 - Danger Level Increased

    <h4>Chapter 785: Danger Level Increased</h4>

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows and said, ¡°Spatial equipment cannot be opened inside. If it¡¯s tooborious to carry the resources, I would rather prioritize saving the others first.¡±

    Jiang Haolin nodded and said, ¡°Without a doubt.¡±

    Actually, Jiang Haolin found it difficult to understand. After all, Chungluo City was not a low-ss colony but an A-tierrge-scale settlement. The ce was overflowing with wealth.

    Naturally, the most valuable treasures of this city were hidden inside the special dimension. It was all free for Qin Feng to take.

    Yet, Qin Feng was disdainful of the idea. Jiang Haolin wondered whether Qin Feng was really not interested, or was simply faking it.

    Qin Feng suddenly opened his mouth again, ¡°By the way...¡±

    Jiang Haolin raised his head. He thought that Qin Feng was going to ask about the treasures. All the righteous words he had said were just a smokescreen.

    Unexpectedly, Qin Feng said, ¡°Remember to have someone guard the perimeter. Do not let anyone else enter other than our own people.¡±

    Jiang Haolin was baffled.

    Qin Feng frowned and said, ¡°How did youe out? Have you forgotten how dangerous it is?¡±

    Ability users inside the city were currently as fragile as a toddler. They were not only exposed to the ultra beasts but might also be killed by other aptitude users.

    The aptitude users trapped inside the city did not know whether they could leave this ce or not. But that would not stop them from having covetous thoughts. They could kill those ability users above them and rob their spatial equipment.

    It was too tempting!

    Perhaps members of the Human Alliance would not do such an hical thing but those under the Dark Coalition would not care. If those ancient warriors that excelled in parallel training came running after learning the news, these ability users were justmbs waiting to be yed.

    Jiang Haolin finally came to his senses.

    ¡°Roger! I will arrange right away.¡±

    They were at about the same tier, but Jiang Haolin obviously viewed Qin Feng as the indisputable leader from that moment on.

    Soon, they had everything ready. However, only eleven ancient warriors expressed interest in joining. Nevertheless, Qin Feng believed that there were more toe since the mission had been posted online.

    But he did not wish to wait any longer. Qin Feng ordered them to enter first.

    Bai Li immediately opened up a spatial tunnel. Qin Feng entered with the others in an outdated battle vehicle that did not even have auto-pilot mode.

    ¡°Get the repellent powder ready. Be prepared to battle!¡±

    There were a total of eleven ancient warriors who traveled in five cars.

    Qin Feng stood on the first battle vehicle and opened the bag containing repellent powder.

    The powder was poured onto the ground as the convoy circled along the city perimeter.

    It was time-consuming work but it was necessary.

    Right now, the entire Chungluo City had fallen into this peculiar dimension. If this city were discovered by beasts, they would swarm this ce in no time and it would probably snowball into a beast wave. No matter how strong Qin Feng was, he would be helpless without internal strength and consciousness.

    He could leave anytime but the others would probably die here.

    ¡°General Qin, there¡¯s some movement.¡±

    ¡°Here theye!¡±

    The aptitude users were slightly panicked and uneasy. Without consciousness and perception, they could not even probe the level of the approaching beast.

    They finally got a good look when the beasts were close enough. It was a herd of C-tier cat beasts, probably leopards because they were moving extremely fast.

    There were no less than twenty beasts in the group.

    ¡°Get down!¡±

    Qin Feng led the way and jumped down from the backseat.

    The herd had discovered Qin Feng and co. too. They sneezed and lingered in disgust. It seemed that they had no intention of going near the humans.

    Undoubtedly, the repellent powder was working perfectly.

    Though the beasts were deterred by the powder, Qin Feng did not n to let them go. He would kill as many beasts as possible.

    Qin Feng charged at the beasts rapidly. He aimed at one of the leopards and hacked it with his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Poof!

    The powerful strike instantly beheaded the beast. It was still in running motion but only the body and limbs were moving forward. The body fell three meterster with blood gushing out from its neck.

    Qin Feng continued to swing his Verdant Emperor Saber. One after another cat beast fell under the ferocious saber.

    ¡°Awoo!¡±

    The beasts shrieked in an ear-piercing voice. They were obviously threatening Qin Feng as they moved even faster. The group tacitly surrounded Qin Feng and attacked him simultaneously.

    The first three beasts were shed by Qin Feng and had their chest ripped by the saber. Their ws were cut off but more beasts came after them.

    sh!

    Qin Feng evaded a vital attack but still felt the pain as if his back was being cut by a sharp knife. His battle suit was instantly shredded.

    The armor underneath the suit served its purpose well and protected Qin Feng¡¯s body from severe injuries. Besides, Qin Feng had a great physique so the assault was not lethal to him.

    But then, a horrible shriek was heard from not far away.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    One of the ancient warriors did not evade in time and got hit on the stomach. A long wound streaked across his waist. The runic inner armor was useless against the cat¡¯s devastating sh.

    The aptitude user¡¯s intestine was dragged out by the ws.

    The cat beast had bloodshot eyes. Seeing that the first attack hadnded effectively, it suddenly sped up and jumped on the C-tier ancient warrior. The user was ripped apart within seconds!

    It was not entirely surprising. An ancient warrior could only handle a beast that was a tier weaker to begin with.

    Moreover, these ancient warriors were further weakened without any internal strength now. They were only slightly stronger than the civilians.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face changed when he saw such a development. He turned to the cat and put it down quickly.

    Each time Qin Feng swung the Verdant Emperor Saber, a beast would be killed.

    The skirmish did notst more than twenty minutes. These cat beasts knew they were no match against Qin Feng and fled in fear. There were twenty of them initially and only five had managed to get away safely.

    But Qin Feng¡¯s party did not fare very well either.

    One of the ancient warriors was killed while three suffered major injuries. They could no longer fight.

    Qin Feng was beyond gloomy.

    Humans had no ce in the Fettering Land.

    ¡°Argh! I regret this!¡± One of the ancient warriors bellowed in tears. He was extremely frail after sustaining the heavy attack.

    ¡°Stop yelling!¡± Qin Feng ran over and wrapped the injured user¡¯s chest with a bandage. But before Qin Feng could finish, the aptitude user took hisst breath.

    His heart had been prated by the beast¡¯s attack.

    Qin Feng was stunned and stopped moving.

    The others were shocked too and became indecisive. They did not want to face the same fate.

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart was getting heavier and heavier.

    Zap!

    A spatial tunnel opened not very far from them. When Qin Feng began to circle the city, Bai Li was also following closely as a backup. They did not expect such a tragedy to happen so soon.

    ¡°Return to the city now. Tell them the danger level has increased. Only aptitude users with B-tier parallel training are qualified toe.¡±

    ¡°Yes, General Qin!¡±

    ¡°We will deliver your message, General!¡± These people replied gratefully. At least they did not need to risk their lives now.

 Chapter 786 - A Forsaken City

    <h4>Chapter 786: A Forsaken City</h4>

    The few ancient warriors rushed out quickly and had the message delivered. However, Qin Feng felt that external help would be hard toe by.

    This was a unique circumstance unlike anything seen before.

    ¡®No wonder the Fettering Land was forsaken so easily and turned into a forbidden area.¡¯

    The ce was too dangerous and the ultra beasts here were too ferocious. Unequipped humans had little chance in such a treacherousnd.

    Worse still, the strength of an ability user was greatly shed here, making survival even direr.

    Qin Feng started the car. He gave up on spreading the repellent powder and drove straight back to the city gate.

    ¡®The Huaxia Alliance would probably give up on Chungluo City after this.¡¯

    Qin Feng knew he had most probably guessed it right. That was exactly what happened in his previous life, as his memory recalled.

    ***

    In the meantime, there was indeed a heated debate on the outside world.

    Among those that hade out, Jiang Haolin was perhaps the one with the most urgency. Together with a few other B-tiers, they had reported thetest situation to Regent Shang. Shang Han had immediately called for help but the response was scarce so far.

    ¡°The ovepping between different dimensions this time is extremely peculiar. How are we supposed to fight in there when the alien dimension would disable consciousness and internal strength?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Everyone had seen what happened in there just now. We lost two valuable ancient warriors to a group of C-tier cats!¡±

    ¡°Honestly, there are not many ancient warriors that have B-tier parallel training in the entire Huaxia. Moreover, what if the next group of monsters were B-tier? Even B-tier ancient warriors wouldn¡¯t survive then.¡±

    Everyone was giving their opinions, which are mostly demoralizing.

    They tried to highlight how difficult the situation was. But the reality was, nobody wanted to get dragged into trouble.

    Jiang Haolin grew even more anxious. Chungluo City was not their home, so what happened to it was not their concern.

    ¡°There are still seven B-tier ability users inside the city. They are the elites of the Huaxia Alliance. We shouldn¡¯t give up on them just like that!¡± Jiang Haolin pleaded. ¡°Besides, we have General Qin to count on. With some extra help, we can definitely save everyone!¡±

    These B-tiers did not recognize Qin Feng earlier. After they learned of his identity, one of them immediately said, ¡°How many people are like Qin Feng in Huaxia? He is a generational prodigy. In my opinion, we shouldn¡¯t let Qin Feng take this much risk. He has the potential to grow into an S-tier aptitude user in the future.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. It would be truly a great loss to Huaxia if anything happens to General Qin!¡±

    These peoplemented insensitively.

    They would not be this ¡°rational¡± if the same thing were to happen to their city instead of Chungluo.

    Jiang Haolin was infuriated listening to them. However, he did not dare to talk back because this had gone out of his hand as well.

    One of the B-tiers, who sympathized with the concerned Jiang Haolin, suggested, ¡°Our regent has done all she could. The emergency order has been sent out as well. No matter what, this is not an easy request but a life and death matter. I think you should contact the old duke of Chungluo. If the reward is lucrative enough, it might attract some help. Moreover, the old duke might have enough connections to bring in an ancient warrior with A-tier parallel training.¡±

    Jiang Haolin was inspired by the idea. He immediately contacted the duke, Liu Chong.

    Liu Chong was very old. He was currently aliased under an S-tier. He had not returned to Chungluo City for a long time.

    Most of the residents in Chungluo had never seen him, nor did they know such a figure existed as their duke.

    Jiang Haolin received Liu Chong¡¯s reply only half an hourter.

    ¡°That¡¯s too much trouble. Just abandon the city then.¡±

    Jiang Haolin was stunned.

    From Liu Chong¡¯s perspective, this was a reasonable decision. Although he was the duke of the city, he had not been staying here for a long, long time. He had no sentiment for the city. It was developed by his subordinates without his involvement. Thus, he could not care less if anything happened to it. With his status, he could easily recruit other B-tiers and re-establish another city.

    As for the six hundred thousand civilians inside Chungluo City, that was even less of a concern to the aloof duke.

    The beginning of the A.C Calendar was not very different from an apocalypse. Human life was the least valuable thing in this era. In certain deprived areas, cannibalism was amon urrence.

    It was just one city and its people. This happened every year when the beast wave arrived.

    Nobody would have issues with Liu Chong¡¯s decision.

    But Jiang Haolin could not ept it. His wife was still inside the city. Hisrades that had fought alongside him for seven to eight years were still struggling there too. He could not believe that the duke had given up on them just like this.

    Instantly, Jiang Haolin resented Liu Chong for being such an irresponsible leader.

    This was when amotion erupted. Jiang Haolin immediately looked up.

    From within the thin silver fog, an opening appeared and a convoy drove right out of the gate. There were at least four to five hundred people hurrying out under Qin Feng¡¯s lead. They exited the city safely with the help of the repellent powder.

    After escorting the people out of the city, Qin Feng did not stay and disappeared back into the fog immediately.

    Jiang Haolin¡¯s eyes slowly changed. He was touched and really admired Qin Feng¡¯s action. In his mind, Jiang Haolin made a decision quietly.

    ¡®I heard that General Qin already has a lot of B-tier aptitude users working for him. He is also capable of hunting A-tiers. That¡¯s not very different from an A-tier aptitude user. Even Liu Chong can¡¯t bepared to him. No matter what, I should try to join the Fengli Organization after this. The only concern is that they probably don¡¯t need a subpar veteran like me.¡¯

    Qin Feng had no idea that his kind act would have moved the heart of an experienced B-tier ability user. He was still busy rescuing people.

    The city was in chaos. That did not prevent the people living at the edge of the city from noticing Qin Feng¡¯s car. Qin Feng gathered them and had them take the worn-out battle vehicle. When there were not enough seats, the citizens simply ran behind the convoy.

    Their lives were in jeopardy now. They would grab on any straw that came into sight.

    These people would be safe once out of the city.

    Qin Feng drove back and forth several times. He escorted out around five hundred citizens each time. Dusk came when Qin Feng had only saved around two to three thousand people.

    This was the first time Qin Feng felt a little despair after he was reborn.

    However, he did not stop moving. Once again, Qin Feng returned courageously into Chungluo City.

    Night had finally fallen. Inside the makeshiftmand center, it was getting even harder to monitor the current situation.

    ¡°We can¡¯t see the situation clearly now.¡±

    ¡°Wait for a while more. General Qin has brought along a re with him. He would set it off once he is out again.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s dark now. The re would attract ultra beasts!¡±

    ¡°Any ancient warrior here yet?¡±

    ¡°Nah! Everyone who has heard the call either imed that they are away or in the middle of a mission. All of a sudden, the ancient warriors in the Huaxia region have disappeared altogether!¡±

    ¡°Of course. Not that there are any benefits...¡±

    ¡°Shush!¡±

    Jiang Haolin sat dejectedly on the seat. He looked at the pitch-ck screen emotionlessly. The drone immediately lost connection after entering the city. The drones could only wander outside but the returned transmissions were all nk.

    Anguish slowly crept onto Jiang Haolin¡¯s face.

 Chapter 787 - Where are the Others?

    <h4>Chapter 787: Where are the Others?</h4>

    Inside Chungluo City.

    Qin Feng swung the Verdant Emperor Saber and killed one after another ultra beast.

    These beasts were in monkey form. Luckily, their power was only at D-tier. Qin Feng put them down without facing much resistance.

    But these monkeys were extremely aggressive. After Qin Feng killed one, another would immediately jump on him. They charged at Qin Feng kamikaze style.

    Qin Feng killed mercilessly along the way and massacred a few hundred monkeys. He was bathed in blood, which decorated him into a god of yer.

    The blood scent on him was nauseous.

    ¡°Sighhhh!¡±

    Qin Feng unleashed a long breath. Finally, he was no longer surrounded by monkeys. Peculiarly, nts that did not belong here began to vine around the buildings. One of the skyscrapers was pierced through in the middle by a giant tree. Half of the skyscraper had copsed. Perhaps another hundred souls had been lost there.

    Qin Feng had now entered a small area. More precisely, this ce was a slum. It was probably the poorest corner in this city. The skyscrapers were crammed closely to each other, leaving only a narrow space in between. The ground had little ess to sunlight. The area was littered with rubbish and it smelled bad. The odor had be even weirder now that it was mixed with the scent of the odd vegetations.

    Qin Feng did not mind who these people were. He shouted after he killed all the monkeys, ¡°I am an aptitude user sent by the Huaxia Alliance. Please gather down here at 6 am in the morning tomorrow. I will only wait for ten minutes. Those who arete will need to look after themselves then.¡±

    Qin Feng repeated the message twice more. He believed that they had heard him clearly in this pin-drop silence.

    ¡°Hoot!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s voice seemed to have attracted a beast. The monster dived from the sky and its pair of green eyes closed in on Qin Feng rapidly.

    It was a beast with the appearance of an owl.

    The owl¡¯s sharp w instantly grabbed Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder and dragged him off the ground.

    People hiding inside their room could clearly see what was happening outside with the help of the bright sunlight. Some of them snorted, ¡°This fe is trying to save us?¡±

    ¡°Why does he have to yell and lure the beast into this area? Is he trying to bring us down with him?¡±

    ¡°Why hasn¡¯t the Human Alliance sent help? Where are the city guards? These leeches who only care about money...¡±

    The civilians did not know what had happened to the aptitude users. They only knew that the city had suddenly fallen but the expected help did note. Not even the guards were organizing any sort of rescue operation.

    These helpless citizens could only hide. Those who had gone in the city¡¯s underground vault early had sealed off the ess. The ones that did not get in on time could only hole up in their own homes.

    Luckily, the beasts of this spatial ovep did not seem to understand the structure of the building. As such, they had yet to break into the houses and ughter the defenseless human beings. However, it was only a matter of time before they discovered the hiding ce.

    Right now, the refugees thought that Qin Feng was only a big talker. It was unrealistic to ce hope on him.

    As if to shatter their doubt, the owl suddenly shrieked in pain.

    Qin Feng amputated the w of the two-meter-tall owl with one clean swipe. He plunged to the ground as a result, but he calmly activated the glider on his back.

    Thest time Qin Feng had used this glider was when he was only a G-tier. Despite that, he showed no rustiness in maneuvering the glider andnded dexterously. In contrast, losing its w and the pain cost the owl its sense of bnce. The beast groaned painfully as it fell hard onto the ground.

    Qin Feng unequipped his glider and rolled to the side of the owl. He then decisively shed down his saber.

    The beast screeched for onest time and wentpletely mute afterward.

    Qin Feng was basically unscathed. He stood up and walked away graciously. Those who had doubted and mocked Qin Feng felt a p on their faces.

    Nheless, no matter how powerful this aptitude user was, he was just one person. They did not know whether it was wise to follow him since they were unsure of how many men Qin Feng had brought with him.

    Qin Feng did not n to save everyone, either. Besides, he still had Z¡¯s request to fulfill. He needed to work on that carefully. His current n was to wait for the outside group to disperse first before searching for the thing Z wanted.

    Before that, he would save as many people as he could.

    Qin Feng did not rest the entire night. He roamed the city and killed a ton of beasts. Fortunately, the strongest beasts that appeared inside the city were only C-tiers, which Qin Feng could still handle with ease.

    Yet, lethargy had caught up to him after the busy night. He only managed to cover around eight smallmunities. It was impossible to keep yelling everywhere he went. He could only hope the other survivors would see them and follow him once he had gathered enough refugees.

    Finally, Qin Feng stopped in a giant mall.

    Though he had lost his perception, Qin Feng could vaguely feel the movement inside the mall. The mess around the area was intentional and some simple defensive setup made Qin Feng believe people were hiding inside.

    The tempered ss door had been bolted dead. Qin Feng did not destroy it and jumped directly to the first floor. Though the doors here were shut tight too. This ce was safe from the beasts, for now. Qin Feng reckoned it would not be too dangerous if he just opened up a small entrance.

    Qin Feng began to crack the ss carefully with his saber.

    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± A low voice interrogated angrily.

    Qin Feng had flipped into the mall. One after another metal racks were arranged together as a make-shift barrier. He then saw a B-tier aptitude user standing guard in front of the rack.

    The user looked at Qin Feng defensively. After all, Qin Feng was covered in blood and it was unclear whether he was a friend or foe. Everyone had lost their control over conscious power and internal strength inside this dimension. The strong had be the weak, and the weak had be the strong.

    However, the user was stunned when he saw the badge on Qin Feng¡¯s chest. The sigil obviously represented a general of the Huaxia Alliance, which was only bestowed to a selected few.

    With a better look at the young face underneath the bloodstain, the aptitude user asked hesitantly, ¡°Are you, General Qin?¡±

    Qin Feng had be a household name in the North, especially after all the stunning feats he had achieved this past year.

    A-tier who did not hear of Qin Feng¡¯s tales in the Amazon Alliance and Hell Ind only viewed him as a potential useful subordinate.

    While most B-tiers could only be jealous of Qin Feng¡¯s top-notch prodigal talent.

    As such, it was not that surprising that the user could recognize Qin Feng.

    However, Qin Feng had no idea who the B-tier was.

    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s me. May I know who you are?¡± Qin Feng replied politely. He did not offer a handshake since both of his hands were stained by blood.

    ¡°Great to see you here! I am the deputy mayor of Chungluo City. My name is Guan Shan!¡±

    ¡°My pleasure!¡± Qin Feng nodded back.

    Guan Shan could not hold back his excitement. ¡°General Qin, are you here to rescue us? Where are the others?¡±

 Chapter 788 - An Overnight Transformation

    <h4>Chapter 788: An Overnight Transformation</h4>

    The ultra nts and beasts were currently running amok outside the building. Though Guan Shan was also an ancient warrior, he too had lost all of his internal power. He was now just slightly stronger than a civilian who knew some martial arts. As for his power, he had probably been downgraded to the C or D-tier.

    ¡°It¡¯s just me,¡± Qin Feng replied.

    The triumphant expression on Guan Shan¡¯s face vanished immediately.

    Guan Shan refused to believe what he had just heard. He could not care less about the dirt on Qin Feng now and grabbed the side of his battle suit. He asked nervously, ¡°How could you be alone? They shouldn¡¯t just send in a single person for such a huge cmity. There are victims everywhere around the city!¡±

    Qin Feng did not shake off Guan Shan. He knew that the guy must be extremely tense at the moment. Qin Feng tried tofort him and said, ¡°No doubt, the entire city has fallen. But you should also understand that there¡¯s not much the aptitude users outside can do when there¡¯s a shackle cast on consciousness and internal force within this dimension. Coming in here recklessly is no different from suicide.¡±

    ¡°So they would just give up on us like this?¡± Guan Shan wished to tear apart whoever had made such a decision.

    ¡°I have yet to receive an update. Hopefully, they will send in more help as we speak.¡±

    Guan Shan wanted to curse loudly. But he eventually loosened his grip. To calm himself down, he took several deep breaths.

    ¡°General Qin, forgive my impulsiveness. I am not ming you.¡±

    After all, it was not easy for Qin Feng to reach this deep into the city alone. That spoke about Qin Feng¡¯s capability.

    ¡°A flock of wolves cornered us into this building. Did you bump into them on your way here?¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. He had indeed exterminated a group of wolves on his way here.

    Guan Shan was relieved.

    The wolves were at about C1-tier difficulty. However, Guan Shan could not deal with them in his current state. He lost a couple of his men and managed to shake them off by retreating inside the building. Better still, they now had a powerful ally in Qin Feng, who did not seem to be bothered by the ferocious wolves.

    Though there was only one person, Qin Feng¡¯s presence still gave Guan Shan greater confidence. He did not dare to ask whether Qin Feng had what it took to rescue them all.

    Since Qin Feng was a B-tier aptitude user and had helped them chase away the wolves, the group naturally respected Qin Feng. They surrounded him as he walked in, passing him water and towels. A few beautifuldies approached him and wanted to help him wipe off the bloodstains.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. Rest as much as you can. We are going to break out of this ce tomorrow,¡± Qin Feng announced coldly, ¡°Find yourself a weapon if you want to live. Don¡¯t be a hindrance, and don¡¯t cry when we are escaping tomorrow. I will end your life myself if that happens.¡±

    Qin Feng nced at the crowd solemnly. Rather than putting your life in other people¡¯s hands, it was better to equip yourself in this dire situation. That would increase the chance of survival as a whole.

    A prettydy was obviously not daunted by Qin Feng¡¯s words. She said bashfully, ¡°General Qin, please take good care of me tomorrow. I am born weak. I don¡¯t think I can make it out without your care.¡±

    She thought that men would always be protective and tender toward a delicate beauty like her.

    Qin Feng was toozy to entertain her. He stood up and said mindlessly, ¡°Then perhaps you shouldn¡¯t be born at all. If you hope to rely on others, then it¡¯s better to die sooner thanter.¡± He pulled a carton of water along with him to another corner after he had finished talking. The girl was left standing in embarrassment, baffled with tears swelling up in her rounded eyes.

    Guan Shan was feeling vexed. He had his subordinate take the shamelessdy aside.

    Qin Feng showed no interest in interacting with others. He pulled two racks in front of him to block others¡¯ vision.

    His battle suit waspletely spoiled. He took it off and threw it aside. The pungent scent of blood was all over it.

    Qin Feng used the water to briefly clean himself. After putting on another set of battlesuit in his backpack, Qin Fengy down to get some rest.

    He could not activate his internal force, which meant that his most convenient recovery skill¡ªAbsorption¡ªhad also been sealed. The only way he could replenish his strength was through sleep.

    The rest of the night passed on peacefully.

    ***

    At dawn, as the first light broke the dark sky, the world seemed to be lit. At the same time, a new warning came through themunicator.

    Jiang Haolin did not get much sleep. He had only closed his eyes for about a few minutes before being alerted by the rm.

    ¡°What the f*ck?¡± Jiang Haolin yelled after he saw the same scenes through different drone lenses. He immediately ran out from themanding vehicle and reached the ce initially covered by grey fog.

    The ce was now covered by greenery.

    It was a bizarre situation. Some trees seemed ancient with multiple annual rings exposed on the outside. This was perhaps the result of the tree being located right at the border of the spatial ovep. Nheless, such a giant forest was not here the night before.

    ¡°What is this? Why are there so many trees here overnight? The dimension has just expanded by about ten meters, right?¡± Jiang Haolin asked.

    The others had also woken up after being shocked by Jiang Haolin¡¯s howl. They thought that they were under attack. But the problem at hand was much worse.

    Bai Li was also standing right by the silver fog. She looked unusually grim.

    ¡°Governor Bai!¡± Jiang Haolin ran to Bai Li. She was probably the most reliable person he could find now.

    Bai Li nodded to acknowledge him and nced back at the spatial ovep.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried? General Qin is still in there!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no reason to panic. It¡¯s useless to be worried for nothing. I trust my hubby.¡± Bai Li said.

    ¡°But...!¡± Jiang Haolin wanted to trust Qin Feng too. But he could not be as calm.

    The other B-tiers hade out from the cars too. They studied the area and together, they quickly made a decision.

    They suggested having Bai Li open up a passage and people would be sent in to remove the trees.

    Everyone agreed to the idea. They might be too afraid to confront the ultra beasts and join the rescue mission. But the trees did not seem to be dangerous.

    They needed to make a clear path through to the north gate. Though they did not know the actual situation inside Chungluo City, the least they could do was to make sure Qin Feng could find the original way back.

    Bai Li wasted no time and created a small passage. A stunning development took ce next.

    The vines and branches were vigorous. Before the humans could get in, the nts seemed to have sensed the opening and branched out from the rift.

    As soon as it contacted Earth¡¯s atmosphere, the nt began to grow uncontrobly.

    A huge branch bloated further up to two meters thick in a split second.

    ¡°Quick! Burn it!¡±

    ¡°General, the nt grew extremely quickly!¡±

    Bai Li furrowed her brows and had no choice but to cut off the passage. The branch was immediately cut. However, Bai Li had underestimated its vitality. Once the branch touched the ground, roots immediately emerged from it and the nt continued to grow at an insane rate.

    The ever-growing tree easily crushed a few aptitude users close by.

    The thorns on the tree were getting thicker and thicker while the leaves on the branches emerged profusely.

    The group finally realized it was actually a B2-tier ultra nt. How had they overlooked it?

 Chapter 789 - The Order is Given, Abandon the City!

    <h4>Chapter 789: The Order is Given, Abandon the City!</h4>

    ¡°Fire Dragon!¡±

    A massive fire dragon burst out, raising the surrounding temperature.

    The bright and intense mes burned away all of the thorny vines to ash.

    Jiang Haolin¡¯s ability destroyed the vines the moment his ability was unleashed but his expression did not rx, on the contrary it became more solemn.

    Bai Li¡¯s brow was also furrowed at this time.

    She knew that these vines had B2-tier strength but in the group that Qin Feng brought along, only he was the one who hadbat potential and he would not necessarily be able to fend off the vines on his own. This was a very dangerous situation.

    Everyone watched Bai Li intently. Qin Feng had not returned yet but the situation had turned out like this. This was something they did not seeing.

    What if Qin Feng could not get out?

    For everyone else, that would be a pity. For the Fengli Organization and for Bai Li, that would be a devastating blow!

    Nobody dared to say anything else!

    ¡°We¡¯ll wait!¡± Bai Li knew in her soul that Qin Feng was safe. She was not worried about his safety, she was worried about getting slowed down.

    As she spoke, she did not stop her pace. When she circled around Chongluo City she found out that it was surrounded by nts.

    It was through this that she realized that the situation was dire.

    Circling the city took Bai Li about half an hour, only to find that the number of people in the temporary garrison had decreased. Not only that, people were still calmly evacuating.

    After seeing Bai Li, these people did not dare look at her directly and quickened their pace.

    Bai Li immediately walked onto themanding tank.

    At this time, Jiang Haolin was eximing in a rage, ¡°You can¡¯t do this, the regent has not issued the orders yet, you can¡¯t just leave! There are still a lot of people in Chongluo City, you shouldn¡¯t just give up!¡±

    Even though he said that, his heart was filled with desperation. The first person to abandon the city was his city¡¯s duke!

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Bai Li¡¯s palm-sized face had a cold expression on it, she had already guessed what was going on.

    When the other people saw Bai Li their expressions tensed up, putting on smiles as they said, ¡°Deputy Governor Bai Li, I can¡¯t help out here so I won¡¯t waste any time!¡±

    ¡°I still have a mission, I need to go!¡±

    ¡°Oh no, the city I¡¯m supposed to be in charge of is under attack by some dark ability user, I need to go back with a spatial waymark. Deputy Governor Bai, you see, General Jiang isn¡¯t letting anyone go, his losses are his losses and my losses are also my losses!¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Bai Li understood now, letting out a harumph from her throat!

    After that, she stared down at these people, making them feel as if they were being stared at by a powerful ultra beast. Cold sweat dripped down their backs.

    ¡°Get lost!¡± Bai Li¡¯s voice was bitter and chilling, causing the others to run away as a wave of relief and joy washed over them.

    ¡°D-deputy Governor Bai! How... how could you just let them go like that?¡±

    ¡°What else can they do besides leaving? What a bunch of garbage!¡± Bai Li said with disdain. She wanted to save Qin Feng, she had a way to do so but would she really need people to slow her down?

    [Beep beep!] Bai Li¡¯smunicator rang, when she read the notification, it turned out to be from Shang Han.

    ¡°Bai Li, I¡¯ve heard the news, Qin Feng...¡±

    Bai Li cut Shang Han off and said, ¡°I can save Qin Feng, he¡¯s alright!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good. Then I don¡¯t need to worry, but the other people are...¡± Shang Han was getting a migraine about this. The B-tiers did not want to stay and a city was getting wiped out. This was a huge event.

    For the Northern Region, it was always natural disasters added with human cmities. In this era, there were too many of these.

    As such, Shang Han had decided to abandon Chongluo City!

    ¡°Bai Li, help Qin Feng get out of there! I¡¯ve already made ns to move the aptitude users from the area! I¡¯ll be counting on you for this!¡±

    Bai Li was not surprised by Shang Han¡¯s decision as she said, ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll handle the rest. Don¡¯t worry!¡±

    ¡°Alright, your merits and rewards will be plenty, but is there anything you¡¯d like to especially request for?¡±

    ¡°How many more A-tier ultra beast crystal cores do you still have?¡±

    Shang Han was stunned, evidently not as many as she thought.

    Bai Li pouted, before she could get her award she was already thinking about snacking.

    ¡°Fine, then I¡¯ll hurry off, you don¡¯t need to fuss about this ce!¡±

    ¡°Good, good, with you there I¡¯m not worried!¡±

    Shang Han quickly hung up the call, the worrying thing was that Bai Li was probably going to request for hundreds of A-tier ultra beast cores!

    When the call ended, Bai Li dialed another number and immediately called the Fengli Organization.

    ¡°Get me a few aircrafts and fly them over!¡±

    ***

    Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Feng was already preparing to get everyone out of there. He only had one person before, but therge truck he was driving would have only been able to hold up to about a hundred people.

    After clearing through a few districts, the people that Qin Feng could evacuate numbered up to thirty thousand.

    With so many gathered in one ce it was absolute chaos. At that moment, Qin Feng had dropped the idea of using something like a vehicle. That idea would not work at all.

    Moreover, it was at least an hour¡¯s drive to get out of the city.

    Guan Shan was armed to the teeth, while the people with him were also just as armed. Their bodies were even coated with beast repent.

    ¡°A few bags per person! Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng eximed.

    ¡°Right!¡¯

    Guan Shan carried five bags of beast repent and had those up his sleeves in case of emergencies. The same was true for Qin Feng while everyone else picked up about the same amount, some more some less.

    A group of people rushed out of arge shopping mall and managed to reach thest area where Qin Feng had designated yesterday.

    For Qin Feng, this stop was the sixth stop and by now, only a hundred people had shown up.

    His gaze looked up to the apartments and knew that there were probably still people in there, watching from behind the curtains.

    He tore himself away and coldly eximed, ¡°Women and children in the center! Everyone else, coat yourselves in beast repent. Be quick, you have ten minutes!¡±

    These people hesitated, however, one person asked in confusion, ¡°It¡¯s only you guys?¡±

    The day before, Qin Feng issued the order and people thought that at least a legion would arrive, they did not expect to only find Qin Feng all on his own.

    ¡°Yes!¡± Qin Feng did not hide it and responded immediately.

    The person¡¯s expression fell and he took a few steps back. ¡°No, I won¡¯t go with you!¡±

    And there were these people, they were hard to defend properly. They might even be thrown to distract the ultra beasts if necessary.

    ¡°I¡¯m not going either!¡±

    ¡°Me too!¡±

    ¡°These are the people that are supposed to save us?¡±

    Most of the people began to retreat one after the other.

    There was an ugly expression on Guan Shan¡¯s face, not expecting so many people to not have faith in them. The fact that they had lostbat effectiveness made him feel embarrassed.

    However, he did not say anything. Guan Shan hoped that maybe Qin Feng would not bring a single one of them along, these kinds of people were cumbersome bastards anyway!

    Qin Feng did not persuade them otherwise and said, ¡°The rest of you, follow me!¡±

    He did not stop moving, walking along as he let people ther on the beast repent and headed toward the city¡¯s exit.

 Chapter 790 - Fleeing From Danger

    <h4>Chapter 790: Fleeing From Danger</h4>

    In the second area, Qin Feng had already gathered a group of people around him and although they did not have much strength they could still be considered a force, resulting in most of the people following after him.

    Then the third, the fourth, the fifth...

    Their numbers increased and with Qin Feng being at the forefront he could no longer take care of those who were in the back.

    ¡°Ga-sha, ga-sha!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s ears suddenly picked up some unusual sounds.

    ¡°Hold on!¡± he said.

    The other people did not understand why, they were mostly ordinary people who were not used to strict obedience and were confused. Unsure of what was happening, many of them crowded forward.

    It was at this moment, a group of huge cockroaches skittered out from the dark corner of a street!

    These bugs were at least the size of washbasins. After the first one appeared, more and more started to show themselves and the entire street was suddenly swathed with a ck tide.

    ¡°Aaaieee!¡±

    A person let out a scream of panic as four cockroachestched onto his body, biting until they drew blood, leaving the man with wounds all over.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber swept out and the cockroaches in front of him parted like tofu, with a single swipe he cleared away four to five of them!

    ¡°All of you shut up and don¡¯t panic! It¡¯s just a slightly bigger monster, kill them!¡± Qin Feng shouted.

    These cockroaches were merely G1 ultra beasts, a creature this pathetic could be killed by an adult human as long as said human had a weapon.

    The problem was that Chongluo City might have been at ease for far too long!

    Some civilians had never seen such scenes before in their whole life, never seen bloodshed as they screamed in terror when they were injured. It was absolute chaos.

    Qin Feng could not help these people, he was only one man and there were too many cockroaches!

    On the other hand, Guan Shan¡¯s group was ferocious. With weapons in their hands they cut through the cockroaches. Even the several women who followed this group, because they were armed, let out high pitched screams as they killed whatever cockroach that got too close and melded into their little brigade.

    With the group being thrown into chaos, the noise carried a far distance. In this situation, a loud roar could be clearly heard.

    ¡°Grrrawr!¡±

    It was a tiger¡¯s roar. When Qin Feng quickly turned to the direction of the noise, a huge monster suddenly came into everyone¡¯s view.

    This ultra beast was at least two stories tall, the fur on its body was a fiery red and decorated with ck tiger stripes. It was a massive tiger.

    Such a beast could not bepared to a giant dragon like Mohrian in size but Qin Feng had noticed that the beasts in restricted ces like this were not very big!

    Despite this, with something thisrge appearing it was bound to have incredible strength.

    This was actually a B1-tier beast king.

    The Red Tiger King raised a front paw and pressed it down on a nearby human. It craned its head down and sniffed the human¡¯s body, seemingly wondering if this thing was edible.

    ¡°No, somebody help! Save me!¡±

    The pinned human let out a cry of distress.

    However, the others could not save him at all. His screams made the Red Tiger King¡¯s ears twitch, as if excited by the sounds of prey as it opened its jaws.

    With a light munch, the person¡¯s body was punctured and fell into the tiger¡¯s mouth.

    The Red Tiger King tilted its head, quickly chewed twice as blood spurted out from the corners of its mouth before it swallowed.

    It seemed to think that this was rather tasty and the giant red tiger pounced toward the crowd.

    ¡°Aaaaaaah! Aaaieee!¡± The surrounding people let out screams and ran toward the buildings on either side of the street. Nobody dared to deal with such a beast.

    However, the Red Tiger King¡¯s speed was extremely fast. How would these people have been able to outrun it? With another m of its paws, it managed to catch someone. This time it exposed its sharp ws, causing deep wounds on the person¡¯s body before they were shed in half by the ws.

    With how crowded the group was, some children were knocked over and trampled to death.

    Qin Feng was at the forefront of the group, running frantically.

    He moved extremely fast. In order to not collide with the rushing crowd, he hopped onto the abandoned hover cars lying on the street and made a loud noise.

    Boom!

    He stomped on top of a small hover car before kicking himself three meters into the air andnding on top of arge semi-truck. At this point, the Red Tiger King was within Qin Feng¡¯s attack range!

    Chop!

    Qin Feng grabbed the Verdant Emperor Saber, jumping from the semi-truck¡¯s trailer as he tried to sh the Red Tiger King.

    The Red Tiger King sensed Qin Feng¡¯s attack and its huge body dexterously leapt away. While it was moving, its tail viciously mmed into his waist.

    The tail was about ten meters long and besides the fur on it the entire thing was as thick as a barrel. When it came sweeping over, it was like arge python had crashed into him.

    Qin Feng was immediately sent flying.

    Boom!

    Krick!!

    He crashed into another hover car, the force of the blow made the hover car travel on for two meters before stopping.

    The giant red tiger turned itself around and gave chase, mming down with a w.

    Qin Feng tumbled out of the way.

    The hover car was reduced to scrap in a single p.

    At this point, everyone had already ran away. Only Qin Feng and the Red Tiger King remained fighting among the ruins of the street.

    Qin Feng¡¯s sturdy physical body allowed him to suffer severe injuries and not die. However, he too had to haggardly run away. The two battled from the front to the back of the street, locked in fiercebat.

    The Red Tiger King made another sudden leap but Qin Feng managed to get out of its way again. Thinking that its tail was more effective, the giant tiger swung at Qin Feng again.

    Even with the protection given by the god armor, Qin Feng¡¯s waist ended up ck and blue.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    Qin Feng spat out a mouthful of blood.

    He was injured on the inside!

    The Red Tiger King saw victory and was prepared to pounce toward Qin Feng!

    There was nowhere to hide!

    In the surrounding buildings, the people watched all of this unfold with wide eyes. Some people did not want to wait any longer, nobody knew whether or not the Red Tiger King would try to go after them if it managed to kill Qin Feng.

    Some of them slipped out through the back door or hopped out windows to get as far away from this ce as possible.

    At this time,Qin Feng saw that the tiger had arched its back as it was ready to pounce forward. His eyes suddenly lit up as he rushed two steps forward, then leaned his body forward and greatly lowered his height.

    Both of the tiger¡¯s huge ws flew over Qin Feng¡¯s head but did not manage to catch him.

    Even the beast¡¯s entire body sailed over his head!

    He quickly slid under the ultra beast¡¯s stomach.

    In the next moment, he raised the Verdant Emperor Saber!

    Pfft!

    The sound like a balloon being popped could be heard and soon following that was fresh blood, as some foul smelling mix of partially digested and digested food spilled out from the tiger¡¯s belly.

    Qin Feng hadpletely shed open the tiger¡¯s stomach!

    A huge wound about two meters long appeared, and even almost cut off the beast¡¯s private parts.

    The two staggered, and the Red Tiger King let out a distressed yowl.

 Chapter 791 - 1: Special Plants

    <h4>Chapter 791: Special nts</h4>

    Qin Feng quickly spun around and chopped with the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Pfft!

    A fiery-red tail was instantly chopped off.

    ¡°Whuu...¡± The Red Tiger King let out a high pitched yowl this time, and started running forward without looking back.

    He still had a wound along his stomach, even a bit of intestine could be seen slipping out. However, with the speed he was moving at there was no way Qin Feng, who had no internal force, would have been able to catch up!

    The Red Tiger King had ran away!

    Qin Feng had no internal force, naturally he did not bother giving chase. Since his opponent was forced into a retreat it was an obvious sign that it definitely was not going toe back.

    ¡°Assemble! Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng let out a roar.

    When these people saw just how tough Qin Feng was, their hearts felt a bit more at ease.

    ¡°This person is so powerful, he can definitely get us out!¡±

    ¡°After all, the one to die won¡¯t be me!¡±

    ¡°Quickly, don¡¯t fall behind!¡±

    A group of people ran out of the buildings and followed behind Qin Feng. He pulled the tiger tail he lopped off and slung it over his shoulder.

    A beast king¡¯s aura was very powerful. As long as the aura was present, other low-level ultra beasts would not dare to approach and attack them.

    Qin Feng could guarantee this if he had the tail with him.

    He turned his head and looked at the mess of a crowd. Among them were a few grown men, tall in height and broad in stature who naturally upied the space behind Qin Feng.

    If he raised a foot to kick one of them, even if he controlled his strength, he could send them flying for more than two meters away.

    ¡°Don¡¯t make me say this twice, protect the women and children. The men should be standing on the outer perimeter. Move it!¡±

    Even though Qin Feng did not have any consciousness or internal force, his words were filled with an intimidating power. His gaze was piercing as he swept through the crowd with narrowed eyes. These men cursed their luck in their minds, but they also had a guilty conscience. They gave up their positions and formed a circle around the women and children.

    Qin Feng began to lead the group out.

    Maybe the tiger tail was working,ter on Qin Feng no longer encountered any more ultra beasts. After walking for half an hour, he finally led the group out of the city gates.

    However, everyone was shocked when the outside scene came into view.

    ¡°Ah, what happened? Why are there so many thorn bushes outside the city!¡±

    ¡°This looks like a forest, that¡¯s not possible, my rice field¡¯s still there!¡±

    ¡°Then... what are we gonna do? Enter the forest?¡±

    Everyone was beginning to be at a loss, even Qin Feng¡¯s expression began to change.

    That was because when Qin Feng left yesterday, this ce was still empty and indeed this was Chongluo City¡¯s agricultural area. Now, it had been transformed into a forest of thorns.

    Even the car parked further away had been covered with thorns. The spatial passage that Bai Li was supposed to open was close to the spatial ovep, by now its position would be past the thorny forest.

    ¡°You people wait here, I¡¯ll check this out!¡±

    Qin Feng threw the tiger¡¯s tail to the ground so that he could still deter ultra beasts from approaching them.

    He held the Verdant Emperor Saber and slowly paced toward the forest. Deep down within him, he had a bad feeling about this.

    At this moment, seven or eight vines burst out from the forest, quickly trapping Qin Feng and dragging him into the overgrowth.

    He had no reaction at all.

    In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the edge of the forest and everyone else was left shocked.

    ¡°Gah, that sir wouldn¡¯t get killed, would he?¡±

    A surge of anxiety suddenly spread through the crowd!

    Guan Shan had started to turn pale as well. The speed with which the vines moved, the aura they conveyed when they moved, had told him everything he needed to know about the power of this ultra beast.

    He was looking at a B2-tier ultra beast.

    If he had internal force within him still, while he would not be able to deal with this ultra beast, escaping would not be an issue.

    But now, Guan Shan knew that escape was an impossibility, let alone trying to fight it!

    ¡°Back, fall back, to the city wall!¡±

    Everyone nodded in a hurry and followed Guan Shan to the city wall.

    Before Guan Shan left, he did not forget to grab the tiger¡¯s tail. In the blink of an eye, the crowd hadpletely retreated.

    ***

    An hour ago, the people from the Fengli colony had already arrived!

    After hearing that their President had plunged into an ovepped space, a highly dangerous ovepped space to boot, these people had a fright. However when they saw that Bai Li did not look worried at all, they calmed down a little.

    With Bai Li here, they could show a little backbone.

    ¡°Lady Bai, the President is already gathering people!¡±

    The person watching the scanners abruptly shouted.

    Bai Li walked over in an instant.

    ¡°That¡¯s a lot of people!¡±

    ¡°No problem, as long as hees out!¡± Bai Li said, ¡°Prepare the aircraft,sso and elevator tform!¡±

    ¡°Roger that!¡±

    The surrounding area had indeed been invaded by mutant nts, but there was no obstacle in the air and that made no difference to Bai Li.

    She also did not stop people if they wanted to leave, it would save her the hassle of inefficiency.

    She walked out of themand post, ready to fly up into the air and activate a spatial barrier from above.

    ¡°I¡¯m warning you, you shouldn¡¯t do that!¡± A voice said and when Bai Li turned her head, alerted, she learned that it came from Z!

    ¡°Why are you here?!¡±

    Z¡¯s eyes were filled with manic enthusiasm, excited to share his findings with literally anyone.

    ¡°This is indeed a wonderful ce, just now, I¡¯ve just discovered something!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Bai Li instinctively asked with her consciousness.

    It was just so that Z was going to share anyway, he eagerly took out a sealed bottle with a small vine inside it, it was tiny.

    ¡°The vines you destroyed earlier are very interesting!¡±

    Bai Li curled her lips, feeling a little impatient. She thought Z actually had something to say!

    She had no time to chit-chat with Z right now.

    However, Z obviously disregarded Bai Li¡¯s impatience and continued, ¡°Even if it¡¯s just a B-tier mutant nt, it can grow so rapidly in an instant. As such, while I was quietly collecting some of these I realized that this little thing has a very keen perception to energy. All it takes is a bit of energy to grow!¡±

    Z said this and released a bit of energy into the bottle and the unnted vine suddenly grewrger.

    Bai Li frowned and asked, ¡°What¡¯s that supposed to mean?¡±

    Z patiently exined, ¡°This anomalous ne is extremely extraordinary, unable to use consciousness nor internal force, but just a bit of energy would allow these nts to rampantly grow. That could mean that they have the capability to absorb energy into their bodies and these nts only need to absorb energy from the air.¡±

    ¡°This is also the reason why these nts could grow so big in one night. These nts are simply a treasure. If more can be extrapted from this, it may have a great effect on my experiments. Imagine, if this power could be merged with the human body, then wouldn¡¯t everyone be able to be an aptitude user?¡±

 Chapter 792 - All-you-can-eat

    <h4>Chapter 792: All-you-can-eat</h4>

    Bai Li was taken aback for a moment, thinking that such a thing might be possible.

    However, she quickly waved her hand dismissively as she said, ¡°Whatever, that¡¯s something for the future, right now I need to save Qin Feng!¡±

    Z was obviously unhappy with Bai Li¡¯s attitude, it was like he was talking to a brick wall. It was at this time that he actually missed Qin Feng being around.

    That was because Qin Feng had been secretly conducting research as well, minus the human experimentation. Although he had not said anything, he supported the development of new types of awakening potions.

    Despite Bai Li¡¯s impatience, Z spoke again. ¡°If you open a spatial passage, you¡¯re basically connecting the energies of two realms. Why are the nts here so lush? That¡¯s because you opened a spatial passage here yesterday, the energy seeped through it and caused the nts to mutate!¡±

    Z¡¯s words made Bai Li consider this for a moment.

    Thinking carefully, Z¡¯s theory sounded reasonable.

    ¡°If you open a spatial passage in the air, spiritual energy bleeding from it and all, wouldn¡¯t the nts grow up to reach the sky and by then the people might not even be saved!¡±

    Bai Li furrowed her brow at this point.

    There were still a lot of people in Chongluo City and she had been in human society for a long time, she did not want to give up on these people.

    Civilians might seem rather useless, but these people were the foundation of society. Without them cities would not prosper and there would be no next generation.

    Rewind a quick moment, suppose that Z¡¯s idea actually worked and people were able to fight, would that not mean whoever had the most people was the strongest?

    In short, if a passage was rashly opened and many people could not be saved, that was tantamount to a series of unending problems.

    However, it was at this moment Qin Feng had already brought the people outside of the city walls and gone on to investigate the nts.

    During the time spent for this conversation, he had already been dragged into the dense forest by the mutant nts.

    ¡°Eee!¡±

    Bai Li let out a cry, suddenly bing anxious!

    ***

    In the spatial ovep, Qin Feng was suddenly pulled into the forest with mutant nts wrapping around his body.

    He was not prepared for it the first time, but he was not someone to be trifled with!

    sh!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber instantly shed away at the mutant nt.

    However, this move only seemed to annoy the mutant nt as it violently wrapped itself around his body, arms and legs, hanging him from the air.

    His arm was pulled by a strong force, arge vine was tugging at him, but it was quickly chopped away by the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    He was still suspended in the air. Not only that, the mutant nt unleashed sharp thorns, trying to pierce through his skin and shredding hisbat uniform on the outside in the process.

    Qin Feng felt a severe pain on his skin. His skin wasparable to that of a B4 ultra beast and could not be easily broken through, for a while the two hung there in a stalemate.

    There was no way the vines could kill him and he could only shear away at some vines.

    The vines were growing more and more, reaching to wrap around Qin Feng¡¯s head at that point as it tried to break his neck and envelop his head.

    He had no internal force to support him, naturally this meant that he could not hold his breath for a very long time. He was in a crisis!

    Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and bit down!

    It did not matter for the absorption ability when it came to Qin Feng¡¯s body, regardless of whichever part it was, the bones, the teeth, all were strengthened.

    As a human being, he would naturally not resort to the means that the ultra beasts used but right now he could not help but be forced to do so.

    Fortunately, these mutant nt vines were not toxic. The vines that had just been shed leaked out sap that had a delightful fragrance!

    In the next moment, Qin Feng felt a sweet taste flow into his mouth!

    The sap quickly spread into his limbs, filling him with strength.

    A full day¡¯s worth of fatigue began to fade away, the pain of the thorns was disappearing.

    ¡°Good stuff!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes lit up as he watched the vinese in for an entangling attack again. Without hesitation, he bit down and consumed the nutrients of those vines.

    As for the nt it only lost a few vines but for Qin Feng it was a source of power.

    He started acting as if the Absorption Ability was activated again, beginning to eat voraciously.

    Boom!

    There was a booming sound that came from his body. While no energy rippled out this time, Qin Feng knew that his physical form had broken into the B5 tier.

    Not only that, the power that he held seemed to be integrated into his form in no time at all.

    Previously, Qin Feng only had a powerful physical form supported by internal force, the actual power of the body was not very clear. It was like a specially designed robot with reinforced steel, incredibly sturdy.

    Now, this robot had been repaired, its A.I. system refreshed and its joints lubricated.

    ¡°Come on!¡±

    Qin Feng curled his arms up and the dozens of vines wrapping around it suddenly felt more like noodles being picked up by a chopstick, entangling these vines around his arm in a circr motion.

    The vines had their limits and with Qin Feng so entangled, they quickly went taut. With a violent flick of his limbs he snapped these vines off.

    His body¡¯s outward appearance had not changed, but his strength was explosive as he fiercely ripped these vines into pieces.

    He raised an arm and shoved a piece of a vine into his mouth, biting onto it and quickly devouring it.

    While the vines made him feel pain before, once he had reached B5 tier he felt no pain nor itch.

    He continued to eat, not caring about the people outside.

    This mutant nt continued its bitter stalemate for half an hour. Chunks of its vines were ripped off left and right, and finally it began to show some instinctual fear and started retreating.

    However, there were still some vines that were entangled around Qin Feng. Even if they wanted to let go he would not allow it!

    He grabbed the vine and let it take him deeper into the forest.

    This had already surpassed the previously ovepped space, in a night¡¯s time the space had expanded once more and now Qin Feng had entered another dimension.

    However, he was not in a hurry.

    Whoosh!

    As the vines rapidly retreated, they finally came to an end and Qin Feng finally saw what the huge mutant nt looked like.

    It was a jade-white nt that was seven or eight meters wide and about ten meters in height. It looked like a bok choy in appearance and from between this bok choy¡¯s gaps were countless numbers of vines that were currently retreating back inside it.

    Qin Feng was instantly brought into the interior of this nt by the vines.

    An iparably rich fragrance filled his nose and it was much thicker than the sap from the vines that he had eaten before.

    The inside of this mutant nt was actually hollow but in the center of it the vines were all entangled to form a ball, constantly writing around something that was the source of this aroma.

 Chapter 793 - Total Chaos

    <h4>Chapter 793: Total Chaos</h4>

    Qin Feng released his grip on the vines, stepping on the jade-white mutant nt¡¯s leaves and lifted the Verdant Emperor Saber!

    He kicked his legs to get on top of the mutant nt, soaring up to about seven or eight meters high with the help of his strength as the Verdant Emperor Saber viciously slid down.

    Swah!

    The vines were extremely dense and when Qin Feng¡¯s de came down he managed to cut a massive hole.

    The chopped vines split in two, the rotational force sent some of the vines that Qin Feng chopped flying while some raised and waved in the air as a core was exposed.

    The center was like a stamen and had a translucent jelly substance.

    Qin Feng understood how mutant nts were like. This must be the most essential part of the nt, just like the Cinder Pine¡¯s heart.

    He cut across the translucent jelly with his saber.

    Whoosh!

    The vines that were iling around, ready to attack, suddenly fell limply to the ground.

    The surrounding bok choy-like leaves began to wither, losing their vitality in the blink of an eye.

    However, the jelly in his hand was still exuding an attractive aroma. He could not help but take a bite out of it.

    The thing immediately melted in his mouth and strengthened his body. He felt that his body was able to unleash some kind of explosive force, but it was unlike the previous time where he had his limbs bound.

    ¡°Hic!¡± Qin Feng let out a burp, this time he really did overeat.

    He looked at his surroundings, although countless vines had disappeared there were still many more vines growing, which made it difficult to figure out which part was the border.

    He started to head back, wanting to check out if the other city gates were also shrouded in thorns. He believed that Bai Li was watching him right now and as long as he could reach the border, Bai Li would be able to open a spatial passage.

    At this moment, a palm-sized spatial passage opened up in the sky. He did not feel it, nor did he realize it but it was the moment when a firework went off above him, causing him to raise his head to look.

    Boom!

    After the firework exploded, a ss bottle fell down from the sky with a small parachute.

    The parachute descended slowly, enough for Qin Feng to reach the position where it was going tond.

    He shattered the bottle, the handwritten note inside it described Z¡¯s experimentation and theory. In order to stop the entire city from being overgrown with nts, they suggested that Qin Feng gather everyone in the city square so they could all be brought out in one go.

    Bai Li had decided that half an hourter she would open a spatial passage and pick people up.

    Qin Feng waved his arms a few times to express his understanding and returned to the ce where he was at just now.

    At this time, the people on the city wall had alle out.

    ¡°General Qin, haha, you¡¯re fine, that¡¯s good, fine is good!¡± Guan Shan quickly said, feeling a little embarrassed as he said that. When Qin Feng was dragged away by the thorny vines he did not even think about trying to save him and even took away the tiger¡¯s tail. When you think about it, it was really embarrassing!

    ¡°Mhm,¡± Qin Feng replied nonchntly. He had the ability to defeat the thorns so he naturally would not ask other people to save him. As such, he would not care about Guan Shan¡¯s guilty conscience, as for what other people thought, it did not bother him at all.

    Qin Feng said, ¡°After half an hour, everyone will leave together. In order to avoid crowding and chaos we¡¯ll start now, line up!¡±

    The surrounding people naturally did not want to wait for another moment, especially the ability users among the aptitude users. They were extremely weak, who knew if they would be the next person to die.

    Upon hearing that they needed to wait half an hour, these people got a little impulsive and could not help but startining as voices were mixed together.

    Qin Feng suddenly roared, ¡°Are you done, what are you scared of? The fact that no ultra beasts woulde up and eat you? Shut your mouths!¡±

    However, the number of people that Qin Feng brought out still numbered about one to two thousand. Since he had no internal strength, the most that could have heard him were a few hundred people. Good thing these people were afraid once they heard Qin Feng¡¯s outburst of anger and quickly shut up. Not only that, they pulled aside people who were still talking to make them quiet. If they were to provoke an ultra beast, would that not be entirely their fault?

    One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred. These people quieted down, after all, even in the wilderness people still cherished their lives!

    ¡°I¡¯ll leave this to you!¡± Qin Feng said to Guan Shan, letting him line people up. Guan Shan naturally nodded and separated people by the hundreds, issuing themand that they were not allowed to shift around.

    Within half an hour, the noisy crowd was sorted out.

    At this time, the sky became dark and the people instinctively looked up, seeing a huge silver disc emerge.

    The inside of the disc began to shift into a darker shade and all of a sudden a cube-shaped metal box fell from above!

    Dang-ng!

    When the metal box dropped they learned that it was only about ten meters in height and width.

    ¡°Group one, group two, group three and four, move forward!¡± Qin Feng quicklymanded.

    With an area of a hundred square meters, Qin Feng was adamant about squeezing in four hundred people.

    When the box was full it was lifted up as it disappeared into the dark passage. Then, another box fell down.

    Qin Feng asked Guan Shan to take charge on the people¡¯s side as he watched the dense forest with caution.

    At first, there was not anything special happening to the forest, but soon there was a familiar sound as the trees began to shift.

    He observed for a moment and was shocked to realize that the trees were actually growing!

    Then, under a tree near the edge, a mushroom actually popped out. Not only that, this mushroom had a vibrant red color, which obviously meant that it was extremely poisonous!

    At this time, he did not dare step foot into the forest again.

    ¡°Hurry up, move faster!¡±

    Qin Feng urged.

    These people wanted to be fast too, but there were too many people. Even with four hundred people gathered properly, the order still needed to be issued about twenty five times. Not only that, with the opening of the spatial passage, the people close to the north gate had seen it and naturally knew what it was. It was peopleing to rescue them, so they rushed out of the buildings they were hiding in.

    Soon, these people ran out, yelling.

    ¡°Take me, take me away!¡±

    ¡°Hurry, let me go up! I¡¯m an aptitude user!¡±

    ¡°Scram, out of my way!¡±

    These people immediately messed up the previously organized lines. Everyone was scrambling to climb into the metal box, it was total chaos.

    ¡°Do you all want to die?¡± Qin Feng eximed in rage.

    Only this time, nobody listened to him. Those who cameter were all crowding forward.

    Qin Feng sneered and with the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hands, he viciously swung ahead. The head of an aptitude user flew from its shoulders in an instant!

    There was a spray of blood before it sprinkled down.

 Chapter 794 - Nobody Could Get Up

    <h4>Chapter 794: Nobody Could Get Up</h4>

    It was just a low level aptitude user with only E-tier capabilities, but obviously, that person was quite well known within Chongluo City.

    Perhaps a little tyrant from the slumps.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    ¡°Li Wen, he killed Li Wen!¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t that Minister Li¡¯s nephew?¡±

    The crowd looked at the abandoned decapitated head and was struck by cold chills down their spines.

    The kill had definitely triggered fear within them and put the chaotic scene to a halt, all of them were frozen still.

    ¡°I will kill anyone who dares to force their way through. I do not wish to repeat myself, it is better for all of you to get into the queue, or else, get lost!¡±

    At that moment, Qin Feng made use of violence to instil fear!

    The crowd was haunted by fear as they trembled, none of them dared to disobey Qin Feng¡¯s order. Guan Shan led a few other aptitude users to throw out punches and kicks toward the crowd that tried to push through the queue. Although they had not resorted to killing like Qin Feng, they were still being very harsh to those who disobeyed.

    Guan Shan was more desperate than the others.

    He observed Qin Feng¡¯s expression and knew that he could not voice out his intention to leave first.

    Hence, the only way for Guan Shan to leave the eerie ce was to arrange for everyone to leave.

    However, the more desperate he was, therger the crowd grew. When looking at the metal boxes that had left, the crowd realized that those were their only way to be rescued. Those who had rushed over were not just from the northern part of the city, the western, and eastern were also there. Even the southern crowd who was the furthest away had alsoe.

    An hourter, the crowd was not reducing, it had even grown bigger.

    Two hours!

    Three hours!

    A team walked out from the north gate, they were in a bloodbath, obviously heavily wounded. Since they were capable of surviving the journey, they were definitely equipped with powerful capabilities.

    Qin Feng nced through them and noticed that one of them was a B-tier aptitude user.

    However, as soon as the person came forward and saw the dead body on the ground, he was livid.

    ¡°Who killed Li Wen!!!?¡±

    That person was exactly the finance minister of Chongluo City, Li Yuanshan!

    Guan Shan heard the roar and was immediately alerted, he looked in that direction and noticed that it was really Li Yuanshan.

    Li Yuanshan had also noticed Guan Shan.

    ¡°Guan Shan, were you here? Did you see who was the one who killed Li Wen?¡±

    Although his nephew had always gotten himself into trouble, for Li Yuanshan, those were merely harmless deeds that would be of no great matter. With his capabilities and past endurances in achieving his aplishments, all he wanted was to provide a better future for his own child. Would he not also wish for his close ones to live a carefree life?

    It was an unexpected misfortune, he was toote in protecting his close ones, and he was not there to save him from being killed.

    Judging from the scene, someone had decapitated him using a sword.

    Qin Feng answered with his deep tone, ¡°It was me, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Li Yuanshan heard the answer and was instantly livid, how could someone who had killed his nephew still react in such an arrogant and righteous manner? He turned around and saw Qin Feng who looked ridiculously youthful.

    ¡°You!¡±

    Li Yuanshan was about to curse in rage and kill Qin Feng to release his anger, however he saw the simr B-tier badge that Qin Feng was wearing.

    Also, it was a familiar face.

    ¡°General Qin Feng!¡± He was clenching his teeth while calling out Qin Feng¡¯s name.

    But Qin Feng was unable to recognize Li Yuanshan. From his memories, there was no such B-tier general.

    Perhaps Li Yuanshan remained at the Fettering Land since the beginning, hence, Qin Feng would certainly not know about him.

    However, Guan Shan had only revealed to Qin Feng the identity of the dead person after he had killed him. Qin Feng was not remorseful about the death of the insignificant aptitude user, such a person deserved to be killed.

    ¡°Minister Li!¡± Qin Feng nodded.

    Li Yuanshan refused to ept the oue and questioned with a deep voice, ¡°I wonder, what sort of unforgivable act did my nephew do to have General Qin take the matter into your own hands?¡±

    Qin Feng answered without any emotions, ¡°Disobeying military order!¡±

    Since Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, he did not have such powerful capabilities before, and he had been through a lot. When he was questioned by Li Yuanshan, he immediately stated the usation.

    Aptitude users who belonged under the Human Alliance would have to adhere to the orders given. Although most of the orders would not make any major difference, when facing such a massive threat, such rules yed an important role.

    At that time, when Qin Feng was at the Longchuan battlefield, was he not also oppressed by the same pressure and forced to join the Dark Coalition?

    And now, Li Wen¡¯s offense was exactly disobeying military orders.

    If it were not because of his barbaric and reckless act, the others would not have engaged in such a riot. If it were to be worse, the crowd might swarm in together, a massive armed fight might be triggered, and the rescue mission would be prolonged for an undetermined period of time.

    ¡°Provoking disruption, asserting arrogant dominance, dyingbat aircraft, mortal crime!¡± Qin Feng listed out the offenses.

    It was too much for Li Yuanshan, he was livid with his bloodshot eyes. He was aware of the personality of his nephew and immediately connected the dots, Qin Feng had most probably killed his disobeying nephew to set out a warning to the others!

    When equipped with such capabilities, nobody would be simple-minded anymore.

    From Li Yuanshan¡¯s point of view, it was totally an insignificant issue!

    ¡°Minister Li, please stay calm, prioritize the rescue mission and allow the others to leave first.¡± Guan Shan advised.

    But Li Yuanshan had heard none of it.

    ¡°Speaking of rescuing, what about my nephew? This is utter nonsense. What do these people have to do with me? They are but a bunch of trash. My nephew is an aptitude user, why allow these ordinary humans to go up but not an aptitude user?!¡±

    Li Yuanshan looked at the long queue in front and shouted in rage.

    Despite suffering heartache from the death of his nephew, Li Yuanshan had noticed another underlying issue. With such arge amount of crowd, when would it be his turn to leave?

    Hence, he intended to stir up the chaotic scene to allow him to get ahead of the others and leave with the other aptitude users.

    Also, Li Yuanshan¡¯s capability had declined significantly, and he did not wish to go against Qin Feng.

    Guan Shan noticed that Li Yuanshan was pestering endlessly so he immediately rebuked with anger, ¡°Minister Li, what are you talking about? You are an aptitude user, but you were still an ordinary human before sixteen, and now that you are a leader from the Human Alliance, how could you express such statements, what is in your brain? Faeces?¡±

    Li Yuanshan sneered, pointing at Guan Shan¡¯s nose as he scolded, ¡°I dare you to bring this up to the higher authority. I am not wasting my time on this, who can stop me from leaving? With such capabilities in us, we should not waste our lives for these trash, we can just leave and allow us to create a better city and space. By then, we can have as many civilians as we wish!¡±

    Establishing the foundation of a colony could be done by purchasing fill-ins. If Li Yuanshan really intended to set up his own establishment, it would not take him too long!

    However, Qin Feng did not wish to witness that!

    Qin Feng¡¯s grin was as cold as umted snow on a giant snow mountain, the cold chills would strike deep into the bones.

    ¡°Perhaps there is something that all of you might not know, the Human Alliance has already abandoned this mission!¡±

    Qin Feng pointed to the location of the metal box again and loudly dered, ¡°This item was discovered by my research, without my permission, none of you are allowed to get onto it!¡±

 Chapter 795 - Viper Attack

    <h4>Chapter 795: Viper Attack</h4>

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you really trying to go against me? Do you really think you have the backing from Shang Han and can do whatever you wish? Chongluo City is not a ce for you to disy your atrocious behaviour!¡± Li Yuanshan roared in rage.

    Qin Feng did not hold back either, he said mockingly, ¡°Well, then let Liu Chonge and save you!¡±

    Being also an A-tier, both of them had several coborations before, but Qin Feng¡¯s impression toward that person was not that good.

    Selfish, merciless, ungenerous.

    There were not any other interactions since then, but Liu Chong was tied under a S-tier powerful figure. Despite his lowly characteristics, he was still able to survive quite well.

    As for Li Yuanshan, assuming that he was a favoured subordinate under Liu Chong, he had not disyed any respect toward Shang Han, not even addressing her as the regent!

    Compared to Li Yuanshan, Guan Shan was more fearful. Although Qin Feng did not reveal much, Guan Shan had already obtained quite a lot of information throughout the entire night interacting with him, including Jiang Haolin who was the first one who had escaped. It was obvious that he had been contacted by Liu Chong and Liu Chong had already confirmed that he was about to abandon the city.

    However, Guan Shan was unable to reveal the news.

    Meanwhile, as Qin Feng and Li Yuanshan were still going against each other and both of them showed no signs of conforming to the other, a raspy noise was heard from afar.

    Qin Feng was instantly alerted.

    Qin Feng stared at the forest far away. Meanwhile, Guan Shan was also looking in the same direction, he was shocked.

    ¡°What happened to the grasnd, was it at this spot?! Was it here previously?¡±

    There was actually a foresnd in front embedded with nts and wood, even Qin Feng was led into it before by thorns.

    But upon his return, Qin Feng had killed all of the thorns, and the forest was freed from the major threat.

    However, it was like the nts had suddenly appeared, and it had grown to the height of a human¡¯s calf!

    Furthermore, the intensifying raspy noise was bing scarier and more intimidating.

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    Qin Feng had already clearly seen the appearing figure, he was instantly shocked.

    ¡°Retreat, immediately!¡±

    Some of them were puzzled, dyed in their responses. After all, they were all waiting for their turn to leave!

    Qin Feng was harsh with his requirement. With such a huge crowd, forming into another ler would take more time, and it would also mean longer exposure to danger.

    With the presumption in mind, all of them were unable to escape the attack.

    A group of jade green vipers coiled and moved out from the bushes.

    The vipers were rather small in size. Whenpared with the giant pythons from the unknown region where Qin Feng and the others were at, they were just small snakes. They were a little more than a meter in length, about the size of two fingers in width, just like a slightly thickened rope.

    ¡°General, they are just small snakes, don¡¯t mind them!¡±

    People from the A.C Calendar were physically enhanced by strengthening potions, and as they were exposed to all sorts of horrifying ultra beasts, they were no longer fearful toward those creatures that seemed harmless and small.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, let me take care of it!¡±

    Several well-built men immediately stormed to the front, wanting to showcase their skills.

    ¡°Come back!¡± Qin Feng immediately shouted to warn them, knowing that the ovepped space had restricted their energy. It was most probably the same reason that had caused the ultra beasts to grow smaller in size. However, theirbat power was not weak at all, judging from the appearance of the small jade green snakes, they were obviously poisonous!

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s warning was toote.

    The small jade green snake was moving fast, in a swift and swooshing movement, one of the men was bitten on the arm that was stretched out.

    Poisonous fangs pierced through the skin, and poison was injected into his body.

    All of a sudden, green colour began to spread through the victim¡¯s wrist, that person opened his eyes wide and screamed.

    ¡°Ah...eh...woo woo woo...¡±

    The mouth of the victim stiffened as poisonous green colour spread across his entire body. He then fell onto the ground.

    Qin Feng¡¯s sharp senses had even noticed that the entire body was ttened, like a balloon filled with water that had burst on the ground.

    The victim¡¯s bone structure was even melted by the poison.

    Such powerful poison.

    ¡°Ah!¡±

    The others who were tempted to strike were instantly spooked out, all of them began to retreat backward.

    It was at that moment when more small jade green snakes began to crawl out from the bushes.

    Their number was growing.

    ¡°What are all of you still standing still for, run!¡± Qin Feng roared in rage.

    All of them were finally struck by fear, regardless of whether going backward was a viable move or not, all of them turned tail and ran.

    The jade green vipers instantly pursued and attacked.

    One person was tripped by the pushing crowd and fell onto the ground, and a small jade green snake instantly bit onto his calf. Within a blink of an eye, green poison began to spread as the victim stared straight at the attack. Without having the opportunity to scream for help, the victim was poisoned to death.

    Such a horrifying scene had spooked the others to run even faster.

    Qin Feng was thest to run with the crowd. He was besieged by about eight small snakes. They were swift in their movements, aiming to bite onto Qin Feng.

    However, being a B-tier aptitude user himself, Qin Feng¡¯s physical capabilities and movement speed were way above the poisonous snakes, a shing swordnded and halved all of those poisonous snakes.

    However, their numbers were still growing. Qin Feng was forced to fall back. Although their poisonous fangs were unable to pierce through Qin Feng¡¯s skin, Qin Feng did not want to risk himself with those poisonous attacks.

    He gradually retreated while the panicking others had already escaped into the city.

    ¡°Quick, close the city gates!¡±

    Li Yuanshan immediately shouted. While aptitude users, who were following behind, were definitely afraid of those iing snakes, they immediately went to close the city gates.

    All of them were originally from Chongluo City, they were well-versed with the structure of the city so they instantly rushed toward the triggers of the city gate.

    Crack crack crack!

    The giant city gate was closed up.

    ¡°Li Yuanshan, you are taking your own revenge, General Qin is still not up yet!¡± Guan Shan roared in rage.

    Li Yuanshan¡¯s intention was obvious, but he did not want to reveal it just yet. He immediately diverted with poor excuses. ¡°He is an aptitude user, can¡¯t he juste up by himself?¡±

    ¡°He would definitely be able to do so, but not now when everyone is disabled from using qinggong skills, how do you think he can escape from those ultra beasts?¡±

    If Qin Feng were to only focus on climbing the city wall, even if he was not dead, he would be severely injured from just a single bite from the poisonous snakes.

    But that was what Li Yuanshan had nned in mind, and he would definitely continue to act dumb!

    Qin Feng remained calm below the city wall and continued with the ughter.

    It was at that moment, a firework exploded in the sky as a small bottle tied to a parachute flew down to the ground.

    Followed by the shrinking and closing of the giant spatial passage!

    The spatial passage was closed up, and they were no longer able to escape!

 Chapter 796 - Reshuffle

    <h4>Chapter 796: Reshuffle</h4>

    A small bottle tied to a parachutended in the city. Several aptitude users rushed toward it and picked it up, which was then passed to Li Yuanshan.

    Judging from the scene, although Guan Shan was the deputy mayor, and Li Yuanshan was just a finance minister, his position obviously held more power.

    Meanwhile, writings on the notes seemed to have troubled Li Yuanshan. He was frowning and livid from the content.

    ¡°One dayter, the passage will reopen, General Qin will select those who are eligible to pass through, if anyone were to disobey the order, the spatial passage will not be opened again¡ªFengli Organization!¡±

    ¡°What is written on it?¡± Guan Shan approached and asked.

    Li Yuanshan held onto his burning urge to tear the note into pieces and disclose nothing to the others, but obviously he was not given the authority to decide.

    What if Li Yuanshan chose not to inform Qin Feng about it? The rescue box was controlled by someone from the outside, if they were to go against Qin Feng, the outsiders would certainly not save any of them!

    ¡°Guan Shan, tell me the truth, those outsiders, are they all Qin Feng¡¯s people? What about our people?¡± Li Yuanshan asked in a deep voice as he passed on the note to Guan Shan.

    Despite the loud quarrel earlier, Li Yuanshan knew that it was the moment where collective energy mattered and cooperation from everyone counted. He could not afford to incite anymore disagreements.

    ¡°Minister Li, it was inappropriate for me to tell you earlier, and I had to be harsh to you earlier. Now, we cannot afford to provoke Qin Feng anymore. Jiang Haolin has already escaped and informed the duke. However, judging from the situation, it seems like even the duke is unwilling to save us!¡±

    ¡°How could this be?¡± Li Yuanshan instantly clenched his teeth, he was in disbelief of Guan Shan¡¯s statement.

    Guan Shan forced augh, ¡°Why not, it is totally normal, you should have already felt it. Chongluo City is stuck in a spatial ovep with another dimension. Furthermore, it is an unknown eerie dimension, a Fettering Land, and that restricts the release of consciousness and internal strength!¡±

    Li Yuanshan was disgusted, he had some guesses in his mind, however, the actual oue had struck him with extreme despair.

    ¡°Has the alliance confirmed this? It is just the first day, are they really nning to give up?¡±

    ¡°Obviously, there will be no official confirmation on such a decision, the city would most probably be abandoned in silence! At least there is still hope in the situation now, from the past spatial ovep that happened twice, both of them had ended tragically. Now, at least Qin Feng¡¯s wife has control over some spatial ability to open up a spatial passage. What would happen next after entering it? There would be no ability users or ancient warriors, who else would be there to facilitate the rescue mission? It would even be an impossible task for the duke! Hence, it is the reason why we were abandoned!¡±

    Li Yuanshan was confused and indecisive. On one hand, he wanted revenge for his nephew very badly, on the other hand, he could not afford to provoke Qin Feng.

    It was at that moment, frightening screams were heard from afar. Both of them looked to the side and noticed that Qin Feng had already climbed up the city wall.

    It was an extremely solid and sturdy city wall, a city that was protected by A-tier aptitude users. Even the walls were carefully built by B-tier earth ability users, so the materials were extremely solid. Although the protection from the earth ability users might not be there anymore, even the stiff and unyielding materials were unmatched against the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    With just several cavities engraved onto the wall, Qin Feng had managed to climb up the wall.

    ¡°General Qin Feng, how is the situation out there?!¡± Guan Shang immediately asked.

    The others had also asked while keeping on with their tasks. As all of them looked outside, they were shocked and turned pale.

    They noticed that as time went by, the nts and wood were growing faster, and the numbers of the jade green vipers had grown, there were at least thousands of them.

    The crowd present was actually more than the number of the vipers, however, the capabilities of civilians were definitely no match against the ultra beasts.

    The ultra beasts were at about F2-tier, but the humans were weak and not awakened.

    ¡°Is there any mmable materials on the city wall, else, look for fuel, pour it down, me them to death!¡±

    ¡°Ah! Quick, go get some, light up the fire!¡± Guan Shan immediately ordered his people, and he was even assigning tasks to civilians.

    The civilians knew that it was a life-or-death moment, they were urged by the aptitude users and began to look around for fuel and mmable materials.

    Meanwhile, the jade green vipers were crawling up along the city walls, aptitude users were armed with weapons to cast the vipers away and items were thrown down onto those ultra beasts.

    A civilian witnessing the scene finally voiced out a question in mind.

    ¡°Aptitude masters, why not use your internal strengths, what about your abilities?¡±

    The question had also drawn attention from the others. When observed carefully, therge crowd was moving everywhere, and there was quite arge portion of the crowd that was equipped with aptitude user badges. After all, the city was always stationed with many aptitude users.

    Surprisingly, the aptitude users were mixing together with the civilians. If it was not because of the badges on their chests, nobody would have noticed their identities.

    All of them reacted clumsily to the battle, some of the aptitude users were even hiding behind civilians and staying at the most secured spots. They were unwilling to participate in the battle.

    ¡°Everyone is in the battle, why are you hiding behind a woman, are you even a man?!¡±

    One of the women voiced out in dissatisfaction.

    The man that was pointed out immediately raised his arm and pped the woman, he roared, ¡°Shut up, whether or not I join the battle is none of your business, who are you to judge me?¡±

    Actually, he was a coward in disguise, an E-tier aptitude user. In Chongluo City, he would not be considered a powerful figure, which was why she questioned him without fear. He was afraid of being exposed, if he were to be sent on a mission, would that not be a death sentence for him?

    However, the crowd that was initially unaware of the situation overheard from the quarrel between Li Yuanshan and Guan Shan.

    ¡°I overheard that our city is currently ovepped with another dimension, a city that has zero presence of energy. Therefore, the aptitude users are unable to use their abilities, even the ancient warriors are unable to use their ancient battle skills!¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°Is that true? Then, who will protect us?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t know, I noticed that some of them are still quite powerful!¡±

    The rumour passed on from one to another. The woman that was pped instantly realized that the man before her was a tiger that had lost his fangs so she immediately raged with anger.

    It was an unexpected situation that had caught everyone off guard. The truth was, everyone was irritated, anxious and desperately needed a way to vent out their feelings.

    They even felt that they would not survive the day, hence, the woman could no longer contain her sufferings of being bullied as she roared in anger, ¡°How dare you hit me, who do you think you are? I don¡¯t care who you are!¡±

    She was a plump and strong woman, approximately one hundred and seventy-five in height, and about two hundred catties in weight. She seemed to be a savage person, and she definitely had some talents up her sleeves that allowed her to gain such excessive weight during the A.C Calendar time.

    A palm that was about the size of a cattail-leaf fan was pped down, and the aptitude user was instantly dazed and could not even react to defend himself.

    The others who had witnessed the chaotic scene were all surprised by it.

    Aptitude users, such an honourable title, and they were definitely the rulers of the world.

    But now, the rulers had lost their ring of light, perhaps a reshuffle would soon take ce in the massive Chongluo City!

 Chapter 797 - The Powerless Ability Users

    <h4>Chapter 797: The Powerless Ability Users</h4>

    ¡°Move faster! What are you doing?! This is not the time for quarrels!¡± Qin Feng yelled out loudly.

    Having witnessed his bravery earlier, the civilians were still very respectful toward Qin Feng despite knowing that the ability users had seemingly lost their powers. Thus, the social structure that had been preserved for hundreds of years was not dissolved at that moment.

    The civilians quickly got to moving and did as Qin Feng told, making the fire burn even wilder than before below.

    These viper-like ultra beasts¡¯ poison was really powerful. However, no matter how venomous they were, these creatures still feared fire. Therefore, when they saw fire burning wildly near the walls, the vipers started to back away.

    Seeing this, Qin Feng instinctively nced at the forest nearby. He felt that a bigger disaster wasing their way from beyond the woods.

    Meanwhile, the fire was burning wilder and wilder. This in turn made the temperature around the walls rise higher, making it difficult for the elderlies and children to remain in the area.

    ¡°Retreat!¡± Qin Feng ordered everyone to retreat, forfeiting the walls.

    The situation was rather chaotic. As more and more civilians congregated in the area, things got confusing for the masses when they saw people starting to back away. At the same time, the ability users and ancient warriors, having lost their powers, could not use their voices to control the public, making things even more chaotic.

    ¡°Deputy Mayor Guan, what should we do now? Where are we going?¡±

    ¡°Yeah, that passage that opened earlier... will it open again? When can we escape?¡±

    ¡°Minister Li, I heard that the ability users have lost their powers. And where is the army? When are theying to save us?¡±

    Some civilians had started to question the authorities.

    ¡°Who told you that the ability users are now powerless, huh?¡± Li Yuanshan stopped and stared at the civilian.

    At first, the man was intimidated by Li Yuanshan. However, it did not take long for him to notice the wavering looks in Li Yuanshan¡¯s eyes. To him, this was the evidence for his conjecture; thus, he loudly asked, ¡°Well, are you powerless or not? You¡¯ve been outside the walls before. And not even one ability user around has used their powers till now. Are you people really still capable of protecting us? Don¡¯t tell me you are trying to escape alone?!¡±

    It was quite understandable for the civilian to be worried about this. If these ability users had lost their powers, this meant that they could not protect everyone like before. Still, these ability users still ordered them around like peons. If monsters attacked them right now, the civilians would be the first to die.

    And naturally, the lives of ability users were valuable to the Human Alliance. Therefore, usually, the alliance would be sending people over to save them. Right now, there were many ability users around, including Li Yuanshan and Guan Shan. This meant that a rescue team was definitely on its way.

    If they wanted to live, it was in the civilians¡¯ best interest to follow Li Yuanshan and Guan Shan around. Yet, they did not want to be ordered into the mouths of these ultra beasts.

    Now that they knew that these ability users were powerless, this meant that the public had gotten a hold of their weakness and did not need to fear them!

    Li Yuanshan realized something was off when he saw the looks on these peons¡¯ eyes. Their eyes were showing that they did not trust him. If they revolted now, it would mean that he would lose his authority overnight!

    When Li Yuanshan wanted to openly deny their im, everyone heard a loud voiceing from the front.

    ¡°It¡¯s not entirely urate to say that they have lost their powers. But it is true that the ability users cannot use their powers right now!¡±

    ¡°General Qin...!!¡± Guan Shan quickly gave Qin Feng a worried look.

    However, Qin Feng continued on calmly, ¡°So, right now, don¡¯t expect others to protect you. If you want to live, you need to have the will to fight! The will to fight for your lives! Don¡¯t rely on others. The best person that can save you right now is yourself!¡±

    Qin Feng was trying to motivate these civilians to buckle up to defend themselves. Right now, no one had the ability to protect them. So, it was true that they needed to fend for themselves at the moment.

    However, things were not working as well as he had hoped. Even though some civilians were able to pull themselves together after hearing this, many weak-willed civilians were getting more and more desperate after hearing his words.

    ¡°But we have done so much to give them all these riches! We¡¯ve paid so much taxes! And right now, you¡¯re saying that they cannot protect us at all?! And what do we need you all for?! Why should we all go out and fight? How could you ask us to do this?!¡±

    Qin Feng smirked at the man. ¡°You¡¯ve lived here for all these years. Who do you think were the ones who risked their lives to give you this peaceful, secured life? Who were the ones who ensured that no ultra beasts appeared in the city?¡±

    ¡°They have protected you for half a century. So what if they cannot protect you for just this once? Stopining and get yourself a weapon! Go out there and fight! Fight for your life! You know, this crisis could very well be an opportunity for you!¡±

    Qin Feng was able to recover his powers and abilities after devouring the mutated nts. As such, he guessed that perhaps this meant that these civilians could benefit from these nts the same way too.

    If these civilians could acquire powers from this dimension, would this mean that when they walked out of here they could also be ability users?

    This discovery could totally change the world. Thus, Qin Feng needed to be careful in handling this. Still, he too was hoping that this was a new opportunity for humanity.

    After listening to Qin Feng¡¯s words, the people who were more strong-willed were now calm. At the same time, the ability users felt rxed too because they felt that Qin Feng was defending them.

    Qin Feng approached Li Yuanshan. ¡°What was written in the message?¡±

    Li Yuanshan handed the piece of note to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng smirked after reading the message. This must be Bai Li¡¯s own way of protecting him.

    Thus, he quickly announced, ¡°Everyone! Gather in the city center! Tomorrow, someone would open up a passage and send you out.¡±

    Upon hearing this, the civilians finally calmed down. So long as they could leave this dreadful ce, they were satisfied.

    ¡°Minister Li, Deputy Mayor Guan, I¡¯ll leave these people to you. I need to head out to handle a special mission. I¡¯ll meet up with youter.¡±

    ¡°Where are you going?¡± Even though Li Yuanshan was not happy with Qin Feng, he did not want to see Qin Feng leaving at the moment. Their powers were all sealed at the moment. As such, they did not want to let go of the only person who could defend them.

    ¡°It¡¯s a mission from an S-tier. So, I must go.¡±

    Qin Feng used Z as his excuse without hesitation.

    Even though Z was an underworld figure, he was actually an ally to the Human Alliance.

    ¡°What?¡±

    ¡°S-tier...!! Oh my!¡±

    After hearing this, they had no choice but to let Qin Feng go.

 Chapter 798 - Important Research

    <h4>Chapter 798: Important Research</h4>

    Li Yuanshan and Guan Shan led the ability users and civilians to slowly move toward the center of the city while Qin Feng darted toward the west side of the city.

    At a secret spot of a backstreet, Qin Feng spotted a metal door in the middle of the road. The door was round in shape, like the iron cover for the sewers. There was some mud on top of it too when Qin Feng found them. These were usually disguised as the road around it used the earth abilities of an A-tier. Now that the dimension around was ovepped, the mud had lost its ability to camouge the door.

    Qin Feng opened the door and jumped into it. It was a long fall, about 30 meters downward before hended. After walking a few steps, he reached another door.

    There seemed to be multiple mechanical locks installed on the door; yet, when Qin Feng pushed it lightly, the door opened up!

    Under the influence of the spatial ovep, all these high-tech locks had all lost their uses! Even the traps behind the doors were totally unresponsive!

    Qin Feng faced no obstacles when he stepped into ab.

    ¡°Wha... What?! Who are you? How did you get in?!¡±

    A man in ab coat screamed as he pointed his weapon at Qin Feng¡ªit was a gun that even a G-tier could use. And more importantly, this gun could function without the use of runes.

    ¡°I was sent by Doctor Z.¡±

    This was the name Z told Qin Feng when anyone inside his own facilities asked. It was quite difficult for Qin Feng to call this human-monster a ¡°doctor¡± though.

    ¡°Ah, I see! You¡¯re sent by Doctor Z!¡±

    These ¡°researchers¡± seemed to have let down their guards.

    ¡°Yes, Doctor Z asked me to bring the Devourer with me. You shoulde with me too!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    However, the researchers¡¯ responses were totally out of Qin Feng¡¯s expectation.

    ¡°No, I¡¯ll stay!¡± An old researcher replied as he walked away.

    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m staying too! I need to resume my research on what I discovered this morning!¡±

    ¡°Yes! This project is going to rock the whole world! We¡¯ll be remembered forever in human history as great men!¡±

    Unlike the civilians out there, these people seemed to be excited and ecstatic in staying behind. Not only that, Qin Feng could see that all of them were ability users. Even that old researcher who walked away earlier was a B-tier ancient warrior.

    It was quite unsettling to stay in this Fettering Land. And yet, they were eager to stay behind?

    Qin Feng said, ¡°You can still resume your research when you escape. The most important thing is that you stay alive! Don¡¯t you get it? This whole ce has sumbed to spatial ovep!¡±

    Before Qin Feng was able to finish his words, one of the researchers shook his head impatiently. ¡°Of course we know what¡¯s going on. And this is why we stayed! There are so many fascinating things to study in this dimension! You have no idea how important our research is to the Human Alliance!¡±

    Qin Feng answered coldly, ¡°If you don¡¯t escape now, your research would probably stay here forever though. You should know that it¡¯s not easy to open an exit back to our world under this spatial ovepped circumstance!¡±

    Some researchers looked at one another, thinking that there was some truth in Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    Still, these were rather peculiar people. Indeed, they all had obscenely high IQ; but their EQ was quite low. As such, it was quite unrealistic to expect them to respond like ordinary people.

    A young researcher opened his mouth, ¡°If you can break through the spatial barrier ande here, you can definitely do the same to go out. Our research is very valuable! I¡¯m sure Doctor Z will support our decision when he knows about it!¡±

    Upon hearing this, Qin Feng too could not help but to be curious about what they were studying on.

    Thus, Qin Feng mocked up a cold expression and said, ¡°It¡¯ll take a great deal to break through the spatial barrier. As such, I¡¯ll need to bring all of you out tomorrow. If you insist on staying behind, then the research better be something really good! You can¡¯t possibly expect me to return to Doctor Z empty-handed, right?¡±

    Qin Feng had a few more lines prepared in his head to continue on convincing these quirky people. Yet, before he could continue, they all nodded their heads.

    ¡°Come with me!¡±

    The old researcher took Qin Feng¡¯s hand and led him into one of the rooms where they were running experiments.

    What Qin Feng did not know was that these researchers had been dying to share their research findings. However, they had all been trapped here the whole day, not able to tell anyone.

    Now that there was an outsidering, they wanted to show their findings to him¡ªalmost like showing off their new toys. They yearned for people to appreciate and praise them!

    Inside the experiment room, Qin Feng saw countless broken ss on the floor spread out around some ultra beasts corpses. It was clear that these ultra beasts were locked inside some kind of containment devices; and when spatial ovep happened, they broke out. Of course, the researchers were able to deal with it rather quickly.

    The researchers were surrounding and observing dozens of boxes very keenly. Qin Feng took a nce and saw that there were cockroaches in there¡ªthe cockroaches that were the size of a washing basin!

    Qin Feng said coldly, ¡°Did you make these?¡±

    He recognized these creatures. These were the same kind of beasts he encountered when he was rescuing Guan Shan.

    If these things came out of thisb, Qin Feng felt like ughtering everyone in theb! If Z asked, he could just say that the ultra beasts had killed them.

    Seeing that Qin Feng was interested, a researcher answered excitedly, ¡°Of course not! These creatures are so interesting! We wouldn¡¯t be able to see these things if we did note to this dimension!¡±

    ¡°This cockroach was just an ordinary cockroach. But we were feeding it a monkey that we killed from the forest a few days ago. Of course, it¡¯s not just this cockroach. We also tried it on these ones too. After feeding on its blood, these little ones had morphed!¡±

    He pointed at other boxes as he exined to Qin Feng¡ªthese boxes contained other insects likedybugs, mosquitos etc.

    These beasts had mostly evolved into Insectoids in the post-apocalyptic world. Nheless, they were still small andrge in numbers.

    However, right now, they had all changed. The mosquito was about fifty-centimeter in length! If this thing were to suck a human¡¯s blood, he would be dead within a minute!

    ¡°The cockroach has grown in size! Its strength was enhanced to a new height. It has developed ayer of sturdy shell! If my deduction is correct, this cockroach has evolved into a being as powerful as a razor-fanged infant!¡±

    ¡°And this mosquito... it has grown to this size in just a day... we tested it on...¡±

    ¡°This venomous beetle was about this size yesterday...¡±

 Chapter 799 - Reinforcing DNAs

    <h4>Chapter 799: Reinforcing DNAs</h4>

    The researcher kept on exining their research to Qin Feng. Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯s face was getting grimmer and grimmer. All the researcher did was reminding him of all those cockroaches that he saw the other day¡ªthese beasts appeared near some monkey corpses nearby!

    This meant that all those beasts that Qin Feng had killed earlier¡ªall those mutated nts and vipers, they would then be devoured and consumed by these insects, which would then mutate them into stronger, more powerful Insectoids.

    Qin Feng regretted so much in not destroying those ultra beasts¡¯ corpses that he had left behind earlier. The more corpses he left behind, the more dangerous the Insectoids that would be born!

    Nheless, there was not possibly anything he could do about it since he could not burn these corpses via his fire abilities.

    The researchers, not knowing just how severe the situation was out there, might cause another Insectoid wave if they were not careful!

    ¡°... and naturally! We theorized that this should work on other creatures of nominal size too. So, we captured an ultra beast. To be honest, if it weren¡¯t so weak, we could never have contained it.¡±

    The researcher then brought Qin Feng to another ce¡ªa room that contained a metallic cage. Inside the cage was a brown ape.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know if you have encountered this creature out there before. This creature resembles an ape and was originally about as powerful as a G1-tier. However, in just one day, it has grown to G5-tier. Not only that, it is developing to be a beast general! If we allow it to continue to grow, this ape would be totally uncontainable!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was shaking as anger overwhelmed him.

    ¡°What did you feed it with?¡±

    There were bones near the ape¡¯s feet. They were human bones!

    The researcher looked at Qin Feng in confusion before he replied, ¡°With what? Human flesh, of course! We collected the humans that were deceased recently and fed them to the ape. It¡¯s such a shame that we don¡¯t have any ability user¡¯s corpse. We do have a few mutants with us here but they were strong; so, they did not die in battle when facing this dimension¡¯s creatures.¡±

    Qin Feng was furious when he heard this. He could see that these researchers were indeed feeling some regret that they could not get a hold of some ability users¡¯ corpses for the ape. Even though they did not actively go out and kill people¡ªonly went out and gathered people who had recently died, Qin Feng still found it very difficult to forgive them.

    Of course, owing to the fact that they did not actively go out to murder people, Qin Feng decided to not punish them by ughtering everyone in theb.

    Nheless, Qin Feng felt that these people were all nuts. They were as crazy as Z!

    Well, it was quite understandable. These nutcases were all Z¡¯s underlings after all!

    ¡°Okay. I think I¡¯ve seen enough. Where¡¯s the Devourer? If you don¡¯t want to leave, I¡¯ll need to at least bring it with me.¡±

    Qin Feng did not want to stay there any longer than needed. If he were to know more of their crazy experiments, he might just start ying everyone!

    The researcher, on the other hand, seemed to still want to show more. ¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want to see our other research? There are still so many to show you! Some of them are sure to benefit humankind!¡±

    Then, he kept on talking, ¡°Do you know? These creatures¡¯ DNA can reinforce the human DNA!¡±

    ¡°Indeed, there seems to be no power at all in this dimension. But it is actually moreplicated than that. In fact, our powers and energies were sapped and absorbed by the animals and nts in this dimension. Every single creature in this world has the ability to absorb energy!¡±

    ¡°So, usually they would absorb each other¡¯s energies. But! Now that our world is merged with theirs, they have consumed the energy of our world. Due to the higher intensity of our energies in this world, their creatures evolved almost instantly after absorbing them!¡±

    ¡°Of course, we could also obtain powers by devouring and consuming them. It¡¯s like photosynthesis. These creatures have made our energies more potent after absorbing them. And more importantly, they made these energies much easier to consume and be incorporated into the human body. Still, most of what I¡¯m saying here is just based on theory. Too bad we could not get a hold of too many human samples to test the theory. However, a few members here have tried to test it on themselves.¡±

    ¡°Still, it would be best if we could get some ordinary civilians for our research. This would make it easier for us to determine if pure, ordinary civilians could evolve rapidly via consuming these creatures!¡±

    Of course, Qin Feng knew about this. He himself had consumed the energies from those mutant nts and it worked. Right now, he was probably the only real B5-tier ability user in this dimension.

    Nheless, he did not intend to help these mad scientists to prove their theories.

    ¡°Okay, okay! I get it. But I still need to bring the Devourer with me. If you¡¯re noting with me, at least bring someone to apany me so I could manage the beast.¡±

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Seeing that Qin Feng did not intend to stay and learn more about what theirb was researching on, the researcher nodded and summoned a person to his side¡ªit was a serious-looking young boy, about thirteen years of age. He had a full head of silver hair and wore a pair of sses.

    ¡°His name is Chu Fan. Don¡¯t be fooled by his ordinary looks though!¡± The researcher pointed a finger at his own head. ¡°This boy is a genius. He has even disyed signs of consciousness maniption without going through the awakening serum! Right now, he is the only person who can move items using his mind! It¡¯s really amazing to see that his abilities have not faded away even though this area has undergone a spatial ovep!¡±

    Qin Feng was surprised to hear this. ¡°So, can you use spatial waymarks?¡±

    Chu Fan pushed the pair of sses on his nose bridge and answered, ¡°No. My consciousness is a little different than yours.¡±

    Qin Feng was a little disappointed to hear that. If one could use spatial waymarks or spatial rune equipment, they could build a barrier around the civilians and extract all of them out of the Fettering Land in one go.

    Nheless, this was not possible right now.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡±

    Chu Fan nodded as another researcher handed him a small ss bottle. The bottle had an oxygen tank installed in it. When Qin Feng took a look through the bottle, there was a seal-like creature about the size of a mouse residing in it.

    ¡®So, this is the Devourer? Damn, it is just a small mouse!¡¯

    Still, Qin Feng was grateful that it was not something that was huge. If not, it would be a pain in the ass to bring it out of the Fettering Land.

    Chu Fan then brought Qin Feng to a tunnel. Qin Feng frowned as he realized that they were walking toward the direction outside of the city.

    ¡°We¡¯re going out of the city? Right now the entire city is enveloped in a spatial ovep. If we stray too far away, we might not be able to head back to the city center!¡±

    Chu Fan took a cold nce at Qin Feng and saw his badge and weapon. ¡°This is the path we usually take to go out of theb. We normally use this path to acquire the research materials.¡±

    Upon hearing this, Qin Feng did not stop Chu Fan from leading him further. He was curious as to where this path would bring them.

    A few momentster, they reached a door. Chu Fan pushed open the door and, sure enough, they were already out in the open.

 Chapter 800 - Chu Fan, the Revenger

    <h4>Chapter 800: Chu Fan, the Revenger</h4>

    Not only that, they were now in the middle of a farm! Qin Feng could still see the fire that was burning wildly from afar¡ªthis meant that they were somewhere near the ce he retreated earlier!

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned grim immediately. ¡°We can¡¯t stay here. We need to go right now!¡±

    The ce was outside of the city walls. Qin Feng had cut down a lot of mutated nts nearby earlier; so, there was a huge surge in the mutated vipers¡¯ poption in the area.

    Qin Feng actually knew that this was going to happen though. Every living being in this dimension was now brimming with energy. Therefore, the vipers would definitelye and devour these nts, resulting in them evolving to their ultra neast forms!

    Appearing right in the middle of this farm was like appearing in the middle of the enemy¡¯s headquarters on the battlefield. Chu Fan essentially brought them straight into the monsters¡¯ nests.

    ¡°Hahahahahahahaha!!!!¡±

    Suddenly, Chu Fan let out a maniacalugh.

    The boy was still young and had not awakened his abilities yet. However, right now he looked like a creepy ghost that could take one¡¯s life in a blink of an eye.

    ¡°I¡¯m free! I¡¯m finally free!!¡±

    Chu Fan cried out loudly as he pulled out his gun and fired at Qin Feng.

    Bang!

    The bulletnded at where Qin Feng was standing.

    Qin Feng was fast. No matter how talented a boy was, he was still a child. There was no way he could be stronger than Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng stared at the boy coldly. ¡°So, you did this on purpose? You purposely led me here?¡±

    Chu Fan¡¯s face was distorted with maniacalughter as he screamed at Qin Feng, ¡°Yes. Yes, indeed! You and those researchers! You¡¯re all Z¡¯s men! Z must die! You must die! You all must die!!! Die!!!¡±

    Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!

    Chu Fan then pulled the trigger again, and again, and again!

    The gun that he was using was an old relic from the old world¡ªthe ones that used gunpowder. As such, even though the boy was not trained in the arts of the runes, he could still use it.

    Nheless, without heightened senses and uracy, Chu Fan was not able to hit Qin Feng at all.

    Chu Fan¡¯s face turned grim as he lowered his weapon.

    Seeing this, Qin Feng stopped moving around and opened his mouth, ¡°It would appear that you have some grudges against Z. This is actually a good thing. I¡¯ll have you know that even though I¡¯ve received his mission, I actually am not affiliated to him at all. In fact, I¡¯m more of an enemy of Z¡¯s. He wanted to capture me and take my blood sample, and do experiments on me.¡±

    Qin Feng had plenty of ways to capture Chu Fan right now. However, when he looked at the frail boy, he could not help but see himself in him. Chu Fan reminded him of his past self¡ªthe time before he was reborn.

    And it was quite logical to see so many people wanting to kill Z. Z¡¯s immoral, evil research did not just involve Qin Feng back then after all.

    Chu Fan replied coldly, ¡°You¡¯re just a B-tier. And you say you are an enemy of Z¡¯s? What a bluff!¡±

    Qin Feng had no means of proving himself right now¡ªthey were in the Fettering Land, so he could not show him his powers.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to leave, I can let you go. All you gotta do is hand that Devourer to me. Nheless, I suggest you stick with me for a while. I can bring you somewhere safer.¡±

    However, Chu Fan appeared to not believe in Qin Feng at all. ¡°You think I¡¯ll be fooled? Besides, somewhere safer? Ha! I¡¯ll tell you what! This ce is the safest ce in the world. This dimension is perfect for me! The microchip that the researchers imnted in me does not work at all here. And their abilities and martial arts don¡¯t mean sh*t in this dimension too. But me? I can still use my consciousness. I can be the ruler of this realm!¡±

    As he finished his words, Chu Fan threw his hands in the air and emitted invisible, pulsating energy waves. A few momentster, Qin Feng could hear something rustling through the bushes behind Chu Fan.

    ¡°Be careful! There are poisonous snakes behind you!¡± Qin Feng cried out to warn the boy. However, it did not take long for him to realize that these vipers had all crawled past Chu Fan and started to surround him instead. These vipers had totally ignored Chu Fan!

    Qin Feng understood instantly what was going on¡ªthese vipers were now under Chu Fan¡¯s control.

    Perhaps the boy¡¯s consciousness had some unique capabilities to control ultra beasts without forming a contract with them. If that was the case, this would be a really powerful ability to have in the Fettering Land.

    If this was the case, then Qin Feng did not need to worry for Chu Fan¡¯s safety. Still, this little boy seemed to be quite determined to kill him though. Qin Feng felt that he needed to teach this brat a little lesson first¡ªif he was left unsupervised and remained so bloodthirsty, Chu Fan could grow into another one of those cold-blooded murderers in the Dark Coalition too.

    sh! sh!

    Qin Feng pulled out his Verdant Emperor Saber and cut a few vipers that lunged at him in an instant.

    This time, there was no need to take care of anyone near him. As such, Qin Feng could perform any attack without anyone pulling his leg. He slowly walked toward Chu Fan, wanting to restrain him.

    ¡°Argh!!¡±

    Chu Fan cried out in panic. The boy finally knew that Qin Feng was no pushover. He quickly took out a grenade and tossed it onto the ground.

    Pssst!

    In an instant, a screen of smoke enveloped the area¡ªit was a smoke grenade! Qin Feng quickly held his breath as he focused his attention to listen to every sound around him. Without his consciousness, Qin Feng could only rely on his five senses to determine the location of his foes.

    When Qin Feng got out of the smokescreen, Chu Fan was already gone!

    Qin Feng¡¯s face was so grim that he looked like he was constipated.

    He could notplete Z¡¯s mission now!

    Still, Qin Feng felt that perhaps Z would be more interested in researching the living beings in the dimensionpared to that small mouse in the bottle. In fact, his researchers¡¯ projects were quite promising.

    ¡®If they were to continue on with this study, it might actually change the world!¡¯ Qin Feng thought to himself.

    Still, seeing that there was no way toplete Z¡¯s mission now, Qin Feng decided to handle that task that Jiang Haolin asked of him earlier. Thus, Qin Feng turned and headed back to the city.

    ***

    After Qin Feng had left, Chu Fan walked out of his hiding among the bushes. Countless green vipers circted him as he carefully avoided the farm that they were at earlier.

    Chu Fan headed straight to the city gate.

    Then, he could smell fragrances of meat being burned to crisp and the stench of inmmable oil near the gate.

    ¡°Go!¡± Chu Fan ordered.

    The vipers, after receiving Chu Fan¡¯s consciousness¡¯ order, lunged straight into the fire one by one. Then, they entangled the dead, burned vipers in the fire and grabbed them.

    Chu Fan took out a dagger and skinned these dead vipers before he started eating them. He was eating them like he had not eaten for days!

    Of course, he was not hungry. These were not food that he was eating¡ªit was power!

    A momentter, he sliced a piece of the burned vipers¡¯ meat as he took out a bottle.

    ¡°Come on, baby! Bon appetit!¡±

    The small ¡°mouse¡±¡ªthe Devourer then raised its head to smell the meat that was handed to it before grabbing it with its forelegs.

    Then, it started to consume the meat.

    A few secondster...

    Booom!

    The bottle started to crack as the Devourer inside suddenly grew rapidly to the size of a palm.

    ¡°Yes! Yes!! Come on, baby! Eat more! Hahahahahaha!!!¡±

 Chapter 801 - New Awakening

    <h4>Chapter 801: New Awakening</h4>

    While the Devourer reared by Chu Fan was eating up those poisonous vipers outside of town, different events were happening at different locations around the town.

    Those people who were saved by Qin Feng had shuffled toward the city one after another as instructed by their savior.

    However, not everyone was able to arrive safely at Central Square. The city was too vast while cars were not a viable option due to the chaotic and crowded situation.

    There were not many people left in the slum area close to the edge of the city. But out of nowhere, there came a series of curses along with the sound of running footsteps.

    ¡°You b*tch! Keep running! Look at your obese body. That¡¯s breaking ugly!¡±

    ¡°Damn you, how dare you p me. You must be tired of living!¡±

    ¡°HAHAHA, let her run. Let¡¯s see how far she can go before she gives up!¡±

    Wang Qin was running madly in the alley.

    She was an ugly-looking woman. Standing at 1.75 meters tall, she had a bloated waist and her weight was around two hundred pounds. She was already running with all her might. The fats on her body were screaming exhaustion.

    Behind Wang Qin were four aptitude users. The most powerful among them was a D3-tier ancient warrior.

    The leader, who was clearly the most indignant among them, was an E-tier ability user. The redness in the shape of a palm was still apparent on his face.

    Earlier on the city wall, Wang Qin was caught in a fight with the four hooligans. She even pped one of them out of fear and confusion. Now, she had to face their wrath and mockery.

    She tried to run as fast as she could since she was familiar with the twists and turns of the slum area. Yet, she knew that the people chasing after her were just making fun of her.

    Wang Qin was filled with despair and resentment!

    She quickened her pace and entered a small supermarket.

    She was familiar with the supermarketyout. There should be a back door at the rear. She rushed in and kicked a shelf on her way in. The shelf fell and temporarily hindered her pursuers.

    They stopped abruptly and started scolding.

    ¡°You must be tired of living?!¡±

    ¡°Hmmph, this is really troublesome. It¡¯ll still be fun if you run properly. Now you are just forcing us to kill you.¡±

    ¡°Hehe. This pile of sh*t. I can¡¯t even look at her for another second. Just get done with her already!¡±

    As they spoke, someone among them had already taken their guns out and was ready to give Wang Qin a bullet to the head.

    Wang Qin was perspiring heavily. Strangely enough, every nerve in her body was jolted alive. She could almost sense the malicious intent of her pursuers through her hairs and pores. It seemed like everything had slowed down dramatically. She saw a row of shelves with some knives disyed on it. Without further consideration, she took out one of the sharper-looking ones.

    ¡®No big deal, we can just die together. These haughty aptitude users! It would be worth it if I can bring one of them to hell with me.¡¯

    Wang Qin¡¯s eyes were now filled with violent rage. She turned back, determined to put her life on the line.

    It was at this moment, there suddenly came a deep roaring sound.

    ¡°Rrrrrrrr...¡±

    The scent of blood rushed in through their nostrils. Only now they realized the messy state of the supermarket. The front door was forced through and there were bloodstains everywhere.

    By the time they realized the imminent danger, it was already toote. Following the sound, their sights went sideways with their eyes widening.

    A huge tiger was standing right at the corner of the supermarket.

    It was badly injured!

    If Qin Feng were here, he would recognize the tiger immediately because it was the same tiger that had its tail chopped off by him.

    Bang bang bang!

    One of the gunners fired the gun wildly. He got lucky with one of the bullets hit right on the tiger¡¯s eye.

    Or maybe not so lucky. The tiger went mad for being injured the second time in session. It sprang and bit off the E-tier aptitude user¡¯s head.

    A loud fighting noise ensued, apanied by the panicked screams of those aptitude users. Out of the four aptitude users, three of them died on the spot.

    The only survivor, the D-tier ancient warrior, was tangled up with the injured beast.

    Poof!

    The sword of the ancient warrior pierced right into the other eye of the tiger. However, the tiger had reached his stomach first and tore his abdomen apart.

    After that, the tiger turned to Wang Qin and pounced on her.

    ¡°Ahhhhh!¡± Wang Qin shrieked. She brandished the weapon in her hand wildly. The kitchen knife coincidentally hit the handle of the longsword put into the tiger¡¯s eye by the D-tier ancient warrior.

    Poof!

    The sword pierced deeper into the tiger¡¯s bone and prated its skull.

    Wang Qin was still brandishing the weapon with her eyes closed, unaware that the tiger was already dead. She continued attacking the tiger until blood sshed all over her face!

    It was only when she swallowed the beast¡¯s blood that she stopped her movements. An unprecedented power ran through her body.

    Wang Qin finally regained herposure. Yet, her eyes were beaming with madness. Staring at the knife she was holding, then on the dead tiger covered with blood, she thought of something outrageous but entirely possible.

    ¡®This feeling... Don¡¯t tell me...¡¯

    Wang Qin gathered herself up. She grabbed the D-tier ancient warrior¡¯s sword, pulled it out, then dived face first into the tiger¡¯s face and bit its eyes off.

    Eyeballs, blood, and the brain. She devoured everything greedily.

    A powerful force soon filled her body. Even her breathing rhythm had changed. Her strength was inted rapidly.

    G-tier...

    F-tier...

    E-tier...

    Wang Qin now possessed a power that she has never dreamed of. From an ordinary person, she hadpleted her transformation into an aptitude user.

    Wang Qin hurled the huge tiger¡¯s carcass and ran to the secret basement of the supermarket to hide.

    ¡°Haha, now that I am an aptitude user, why do I need to leave? I might conquer this ce one day!¡±

    She tore down a piece of meat, did not care that it was still raw, then chewed and swallowed it.

    ***

    Qin Feng used only two hours to arrive at the city center, which was much faster than the others. He soon reached the vi area.

    The vi area was usually as dreamy as a painting during sunset. Now it simply looked eerie. The once smooth and clean road was now broken and infiltrated by grass. All the luxury cars inside the area had be a pile of rusty metal. The people here were stranded and could not find a way out.

    Qin Feng walked to the vi area and was surprised to find that there were very few beasts around here. When he reached the most luxurious zone, he realized that beast repellents had been spread all around thepound. Besides, he also saw silhouettes inside the building.

    It seemed like the people here had already teamed up to protect themselves.

    Qin Feng stepped into the range of the beast repellent and had clearly caught the attention of the people inside the vi.

    Even without consciousness, Qin Feng could still sense the res and subconsciously looked up.

    He was met by a row of guns set on the window rail.

 Chapter 802 - The Second Mission

    <h4>Chapter 802: The Second Mission</h4>

    ¡°Someone is here!¡±

    ¡°Looks like a B-tier aptitude user!¡±

    ¡°I recognize him. He is the newly promoted general, who is also the governor of the North Sea. His name is Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°Retract the gun, now!¡±

    One of them ordered. Then, he opened the door and walked up in a rush.

    Just as Qin Feng had reached the gate of the vi, he saw that the main door was opened. A sturdy man walked out from it with two followers.

    Qin Feng scanned them and instantly figured that they were all B-tiers.

    ¡°It¡¯s nice to meet you, General Qin. I am Ning Xin, a general under the Human Alliance.¡±

    ¡°Good to see you here, General Qin. I am the team captain of the garrison in Chungluo City, Long Tao.¡±

    ¡°I am Zhou Ce.¡±

    ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± Qin Feng shook their hands. It seemed that all the B-tiers trapped inside Chungluo City had been found. They had managed to survive the unforeseen disaster.

    Not only that but they had also constructed adequate defensive measures. Unfortunately, they did not have enough force to help the others. The leader of the group was obviously the highest rank officer, Ning Xin.

    He, like Qin Feng, was a general of the Huaxia Alliance.

    ¡°Let¡¯s talk inside.¡±

    Ning Xin led Qin Feng into the vi and began to exin their encounter after the ovepping urred.

    ¡°I apologize for our ipetence. We are unable to organize a retreat in time after the ovepping happened. Not only because we have nowhere to run to, but also because we do not have the strength to go out.¡±

    He pointed at the two B-tiers behind him. Without a doubt, they were both aptitude users too.

    Both of them hadpletely lost the ability to fight. Without perception ability, they also could notmand the others effectively. If they tried something reckless nheless, it would put everyone into a very dangerous situation.

    ¡°I understand. Are all the vi residents here?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Yes, they are all gathered in here.¡±

    ¡°Great. I am here at Jiang Haolin¡¯s request. He asked me to save his wife. I wish to check on her condition,¡± Qin Feng said.

    The expression on Ning Xin changed immediately.

    Qin Feng instantly frowned and asked with authority, ¡°Why? Is there a problem?¡±

    Jiang Haolin was a well-respected man in this city. There was no reason these men did not know him and his spouse.

    ¡®Why the grim looks? Don¡¯t tell me something happened to hisdy?¡¯

    This was when they heard amotion break out from above. It was the sound of shattering ss. Then, a woman figure fell on thewn outside.

    ¡°F*ck you, b*tch!¡±

    A loud holler then rocked their eardrums. They then saw the owner of the voice jump down from the upper floor. Hended fiercely on the ground with force, creating a loud bang.

    This man was surely a master of parallel training.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes narrowed in on them. He first saw a man wearing nothing else but a boxer. Then, the half-naked man caught up to thedy quickly and grabbed her from behind. He crudely gave her a heavy p.

    Thedy was not a powerlessmoner, yet she was unable to match the man¡¯s brute physicality. All she could do was yell at the man, ¡°Zhang Wu, we have been blinded all these years to keep a disgraceful man like you as our personal bodyguard. I would rather die than be defiled.¡±

    The man cupped thedy¡¯s face and dislocated her jaw to prevent her from biting her own tongue.

    ¡°Hahahaha! I am tired of your dignity sh*t. Who are you keeping it for? Jiang Haolin has probably died out there. You would have long been feasted upon by beasts too if not because of me. I am only asking for some gratitude on the bed. Stop f*cking around with me, you b*tch! Who do you think you are?¡±

    Qin Feng walked out from the vi as the two were quarreling. He immediately figured out the identity of thedy after hearing the man mentioned Jiang Haolin.

    ¡°Lin Yuting?¡±

    Thedy looked up and sized Qin Feng up curiously. She then saw the men behind Qin Feng and threw them a resentful look.

    They had all watched her being dragged away just now and did nothing about. Nobody cared about a woman¡¯s fate in this circumstance.

    It was because Lin Yuting offered almost nothing to help their survival, while they were also unsure of Jiang Haolin¡¯s fate. Judging by the condition of the two hapless aptitude users, they believed Jiang Haolin had most likely been shredded out there.

    Qin Feng was infuriated once he confirmed thedy¡¯s identity.

    She was the one he was looking for. Now, the two tasks he thought were simple had turned awry. He never thought that he would fail both of them.

    It was upsetting.

    ¡°I need an exnation. Why are you guys tolerating suchwless behavior when these people need your protection the most? You can abandon those left outside but at least you should be taking care of the weaker ones in here! Even if Lin Yuting is not Jiang Haolin¡¯s wife, she is at least a D-tier aptitude user. How could you all allow this?¡±

    Before Ning Xin could answer Qin Feng¡¯s usation, the guy was clearly offended and chimed in first. ¡°Hey boy, you have no power over me here. The usual hierarchy doesn¡¯t work in your favor at this ce.¡± He was especially assertive after seeing Qin Feng¡¯s B-tier aptitude user badge and his lean build.

    Qin Feng nced at the guy named Zhang Wu. He did not have any clothes on him so there was no badge for identification. But he was bulky and his muscr frame oozed explosive strength.

    Qin Feng estimated him to be at least C5-tier or above. He reckoned Nin Xing would not be his match after losing his usual ability. He answered back sternly, ¡°Whatever it is, thew shouldn¡¯t be broken as you pleased.¡±

    ¡°So what if I do? I have saved everyone and you guys still want to order me around like a dog! I may have kept quiet in the past but I no longer need to now. I can have whatever I want here. If I want to sleep with her, I sleep with her! Otherwise, I will wreck all of you, one by one in the most excruciating way possible. Don¡¯t think I am joking. Aptitude users like you are worthless here.¡± Zhang Wu red at Qin Feng viciously.

    Qin Feng¡¯s anger was at full st. ¡°Great. What if I don¡¯t let you? Are you going to f*ck air?¡±

    ¡°D*mn! I am going to beat you to death!¡±

    Zhang Wu yelled angrily. Qin Feng was obviously a troublemaker. Right now, Zhang Wu was eager to establish his authority. He had managed to deter Ning Xin and the others earlier. Qin Feng¡¯s sudden rebellion displeased him.

    This B-tier brat that came out of nowhere was obviously not from Chungluo City. Nobody would care if he was killed in this nowwless city.

    Zhang Wu did not hesitate and threw Qin Feng a punch. Although he was sturdy, his speed was not diminished by his heavyweight build.

    Such a punch could easily break one¡¯s skull.

 Chapter 803 - Rules are Set by the Powerful

    <h4>Chapter 803: Rules are Set by the Powerful</h4>

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    ¡°Stop!¡±

    ¡°Zhang Wu, you are being unreasonable!¡±

    Ning Xin and the others hollered.

    But subsequent words were stuck in their throats when they saw what happened next. It was as if they had just been choked by a hard-boiled egg.

    From the outlook, Qin Feng appeared far thinner and weaker than Zhang Wu. But the apparently frailer Qin Feng did not draw his weapon but met Zhang Wu¡¯s charge with a kick.

    The kick was lightning quick. It reached Zhang Wu before the ancient warrior¡¯s fist touched Qin Feng. The powerful kickunched Zhang Wu into the air like a flying cannon.

    Boom!

    The force from the kick sent Zhang Wu flying. He glided through the air curling and was only halted by a giant tree twenty meters away.

    Crack!

    The remaining momentum of the kick was transferred to the tree and broke the tree in half.

    ¡°Urgh!¡± Blood came spurting out from Zhang Wu¡¯s mouth. Pieces of organs could be seen mixing with the blood. Qin Feng¡¯s kick had hurt him good.

    The bystanders stood stunned and did not know how to react. The oue was far from even their wildest imagination.

    After a weird dimension overrode their city, aptitude users had lost most of their capabilities while only a certain group benefited from such a drastic change.

    The parallel-trained ancient warriors.

    Parallel training was a painful and challenging process. Those who could undergo the training were usually very disciplined and harsh toward themselves. It was an extreme path one chose without another choice.

    High-tier martial arts and internal strength cultivation methods were rare toe by. Qin Feng was fortunate enough to regain the Absorption Ability after being reborn, but others needed to constantly look for good cultivation methods and upgrade patiently for the rest of their lives. However, there was also a particr group that showed no real talent the moment they were awakened. These unlucky ones were never going to be high-tier aptitude users. They just were not born to.

    Ancient art, like other skills, depended greatly on talent. Some simply were not shrewd enough toprehend higher-level arts, while some were born naturally with narrower meridian and thus could not build up their internal strength. For one reason or another, they were destined to fail in reaching the next level.

    Hence, it boiled down to one final mean¡ªparallel training. That was the only primitive cultivation method that allowed constant improvement for the uninspired ones. However, the process was extremely torturing.

    Ironically, such an agonizing effort still did not guarantee sess.

    Zhang Wu was a C7-tier aptitude user, but being a bodyguard to someone more influential was the highest position that he could ever achieve. Patrolling the vi residences was part of his duty, and he had long been having second thoughts about Lin Yuting. Of course, he was aware of his status quo and thus had never revealed his intentions.

    But when his position was reversed against the aptitude users, he thought his time hade. He loosened himself from the moral shackle and showed his true colors.

    However, he had fallen as fast as he had risen. He was as high as clouds just a moment ago but was now knocked back hard down to the ground by Qin Feng.

    ¡°It¡¯s true. Rules are set by humans. But you are still not powerful enough to be a valid yer,¡± Qin Feng rebuked.

    Hatred and fury flickered in Zhang Wu¡¯s eyes. He looked straight at Qin Feng but could not muster a word to refute.

    Because he knew Qin Feng was right.

    The strong ruled. Before Qin Feng was here, he was the strongest. That was why they obeyed him in exchange for his protection.

    But with the urrence of a stronger alpha, the rules set by Zhang Wu no longer counted.

    Zhang Wu resented that but knew his time of ruling was up.

    ¡°I will never forget today¡¯s humiliation.¡± Zhang Wu turned and ran away.

    Qin Feng did not stop him.

    Ning Xin was baffled that things had turned out this way. He could barely keep his lips together.

    Qin Feng turned to him. Ning Xin looked away instinctively due to a guilty conscience.

    No doubt, they had acquiesced on sacrificing Lin Yuting to please Zhang Wu. Now that Qin Feng had stopped the clown show and even saved Lin Yuting out of harm¡¯s way, theirck of principle and ipetence wasid bare under the sun.

    ¡°General Qin. We had no other choice...¡± Ning Xin said dejectedly.

    Qin Feng replied harshly, ¡°I am not the one you need to exin to.¡±

    Ning Xin understood immediately and turned to Lin Yuting, ¡°My dear sister, we are so sorry for not protecting you earlier. But as you are aware, we are in the middle of a crisis and we don¡¯t know what happened to Haolin. At the very least, Zhang Wu is a dependable man here. We thought you would be in good hands.¡±

    Lin Yuting obviously has a strong personality. She sneered and said with a cold face, ¡°Did I ever say I need to depend on someone else? I can live on my own just fine if you are not willing to protect me. But handing me out like an item is uneptable. So, stop calling me your sis. What a great price I had to pay to be called that.¡±

    Qin Feng admired thedy¡¯s staunch stance. He said, ¡°Jiang Haolin left the city yesterday. He asked me toe and rescue you. Sorry for the dy. I was stalled by other matters.¡±

    ¡°d to hear that he is okay.¡± Lin Yuting let down her guard. After the ovep took ce, Lin Yuting did not be entirely defenseless despite losing her internal strength. She was an ancient warrior, after all. She knew a few martial arts that did not require internal force to execute, thus was able to kill the assaulting beasts and escaped with the nanny. Of course, they had Zhang Wu¡¯s help along the way.

    She intended to thank Zhang Wu once they were safe, but what happened nextpletely threw her off guard.

    Ning Xin became excited after he heard Qin Feng¡¯s narration. He did not care whether Qin Feng was still offended by how they had treated Lin Yuting.

    ¡°General Qin, will the spatial tunnel still be opened up? Why didn¡¯t they start the evacuation from the city center?¡±

    After all, the city center was where most elects were at.

    ¡°At the beginning...¡± Qin Feng exined to them the difficulty of breaking out from this ovepped space. As for the spatial tunnel that opened up in the sky above the city, Qin Feng had never expected it too. He would not be too surprised if the tunnel connecting to the outside world could no longer be opened. The perimeter of the city had already been conquered by the mutated nts.

    Later, Qin Feng assured them that they would be leaving tomorrow. The trapped victims were relieved to hear that.

    Nobody wanted to stay in this terrible ce for another second. This was especially true for those who had their strength sapped away by the dimension. But for now, they could only wait patiently until tomorrow arrived.

    ***

    At the same time, outside the fog, people were busy building a stairway using ancient tools. Something that could supposedly be done by a metal-type ability user in a snap of the finger now needed to be constructed carefully with bare hands.

    They were trying to build a stairway that would reach the sky.

    If they wished to transport a city¡¯s worth of people, a metal box would not cut it.

    Thus, they had opted for the giant stairway.

    The stairway only had a basic frame without a proper base. Though there were fences on both sides, they were merely made out of thin wooden nks due to weight concerns. It might flip anytime hanging so high in midair.

    Since the stairway could not be made using any form of rune elements, they used normal alloy and hence its quality was only borderline eptable. Nheless, this was the best impromptu solution they could find in one day.

    The day passed by quickly with workers bustling around the stairway. They worked painstakingly and finally welded a four-hundred-meter-high foldable stairway.

 Chapter 804 - Stairway to Heaven

    <h4>Chapter 804: Stairway to Heaven</h4>

    The next day.

    It was the third-day Chungluo City had sumbed to the ovepped space.

    The city seemed to have reinvigorated slightly as the dawn chased away the night of mncholy. Nheless, the cityscape was vastly different aspared to three days ago.

    People who sought refuge in their own homes once again found the alien nts around them resuming to grow hysterically. It had now reached the height of two floors. Beasts that arrived uninvited during the night had sneaked out from their hiding to hunt.

    An increasing number of insectoids swarmed the streets brazenly as if they had imed the city their new home.

    Loathed by the disgusting, twitching worms, humans trapped inside felt nothing else other than despair.

    Then there were those who had fought through the night and exited the city before dawn. Together, they even survived the assault by the venomous vipers. News had reached them through Li Yuan Shan and Guan Shan. They learned that the spatial tunnel would once again open mid-afternoon. Not all was lost.

    They gathered at the said rendezvous point earlier than the promised time. Some had even hurried to the center square with little to no rest throughout the night.

    There was not a single lot around the city square that was left vacant. Numerous survivors had crowded the once spacious square.

    ¡®After today, this city is going to vanish in the history of time. People who chose to stay will not leave for a long, long time. But this is despair, but also a new beginning for them.¡¯ A mocking grin appeared on Qin Feng¡¯s face.

    If they had no courage toe out today, those who stayed would only keep waiting for help that would note. Still, they would rather die waiting than confront the beast.

    However, who knew what would happen when humans were being strained to the limit?

    At the end of the tunnel, someone among them mighte out of this predicament a transformed man or woman.

    As such, a new n started brewing in Qin Feng¡¯s witty mind.

    While he was indulging in his own little thought, the sun was getting nearer and nearer to the highest point. The tunnel would be opened anytime now.

    Soon, a silver light glimmered on the top of the city sky. Then, a dark spot emerged and expanded above them.

    After what happened yesterday, everyone was cheering excitedly when they saw the portal opening right on time again. They knew what to expect next.

    Yet, the metal box they anticipated did not ur. In its ce was a stairway made of alloy.

    The stairway was as crude as it could be. Bad marksmanship was evident all across the joint of the stairway. Some parts of the metal tes did not match the color of the rebar connecting them. Nheless, the stairway as a whole looked especially majestic in the eyes of the survivors.

    The stairway was dropped from four-hundred-meters-high. It becamerger andrger as it was being descended carefully through the portal. It was both intimidating and impressive at the same time.

    It was, figuratively, a stairway to heaven!

    Ssh!

    Something that was initially rolled up at the side of the stairway was snapped off. Arge canvas was released, and it pped in the wind. Four red-colored words shined brilliantly against the dark base.

    ¡°Made by Feng Li.¡±

    ***

    On the other side, the aircraft was letting down the stairway through the tunnel carefully. Little by little, they had a better look at the numerous small dots beneath them as the stairway approached the ground. The dots were all looking up at them eagerly.

    The people inside the aircraft understood what the stairway meant to the people below.

    On the screen, the drones had captured the excitement, relief, or teary eyes on the peoples¡¯ faces trapped inside the ovepped space.

    The technicians of the Fengli Organization soaked it in and felt a sense of pride.

    ¡°Our overnight efforts are worth it after seeing their response.¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t there a saying that we shouldn¡¯t unt when doing the right thing? Isn¡¯t the canvas a little too much?¡±

    ¡°Well, since the duke of Chungluo City didn¡¯t bother to care about his people, why can¡¯t we promote our organization? We are not going to serve them for free. This is not charity work.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. General Qin was the only one willing to carry the burden after the regent announced the mission. Where are the other B-tiers when he is risking his life there?¡±

    ¡°I couldn¡¯t agree more. General Qin is truly an admirable figure.¡±

    ¡°Of course, we have done our part too.¡±

    ¡°Gosh, I am touched by my own effort in this rescue mission.¡±

    Their efforts would save numerous lives today. It was truly a glorious moment.

    Though they were on a different dimension, they could almost hear the majestic sound made by thedder as itnded and stirred up dust on the ground.

    The aircraft released the rebar holding the stairway, which was now connecting the two worlds. On the topmost tform of the stairway, a C-tier metal-type ability user used his power to construct a connecting stairway effortlessly. It easily outshone the little polished stairway inside the ovepped space.

    The technicians grunted grudgingly, ¡°F*ck, welding work worth eight hours is nothing close to what he made in three minutes!¡±

    ¡°This is infuriating! Why am I not an ability user?¡±

    ¡°You wouldn¡¯t be a welder if you were an ability user!¡±

    They allughed light-heartedly.

    Abruptly, theirughter was cut short by the buzzer. Shocked, they immediately peeked at theirmunicator. The look on their faces spelled serious trouble.

    From the stream delivered by the drones, a group of beasts had just strolled out from the forest outside of the city. More and more monsters joined the parade and it quickly inted into an earth-shattering torrent.

    This did not take ce when the portal was opened yesterday. Unfortunately, it had quietly set off a ripple effect.

    The nts had continued to grow, and the beasts must have been startled as they loomed toward the city hungrily. It was just that all these had happened without being noticed.

    All hell broke loose when the spatial tunnel reopened. The scent of a different dimension acted like pheromones to the beasts. They were like sharks that had smelled blood as they swam thirstily toward their prey.

    ¡°Stop goofing around. Quick!¡±

    ¡°Now! Quick!¡±

    They began to tie the supply boxes and threw them into the spatial rift. Inside the boxes were first aids and G-tier guns.

    The aircraft suddenly became very busy and lively.

    ***

    Qin Feng did not at all feel they were overdoing it.

    The name of his organization had to be known in every corner of the world. Those affiliated with Fengli would be proud of such a moment.

    Of course, it caught Qin Feng by surprise that his men outside were being this thoughtful. Both the stairway and the canvas weremendable work.

    Guan Shan and Li Yuan Shan, who stood by Qin Feng, were astounded seeing the giant stairway. When they saw the words ¡°Feng¡± ¡°Li¡±, something unexinable tingled in their hearts.

    ¡®What exactly is this Fengli organization? How big-hearted do the members have to be that they would still happily promote the organization when their boss is doing such arduous and unrewarding work? These people surely know even the regent has ordered them to give up on the city?¡¯

    This organization, like its leader, had toughness and positivity written all over it

 Chapter 805 - Early Danger Warning

    <h4>Chapter 805: Early Danger Warning</h4>

    ¡°Follow the previous order, first team advance!¡±

    Qin Feng loudly eximed and the first team¡¯s people immediately started to move forward.

    All of these people were ability users Qin Feng had gathered, along with the aptitude users who were members of the families from the vis.

    This was not altogether inexcusable. The weakest among these people were only children. Among them, 80% were aptitude users. These people who stayed behind might not necessarily be able to help and if they did not leave then the Human Alliance could potentially lose a lot of aptitude users.

    As for the original garrison troops and the patrol corps, they were at the outermost perimeter and were organizing an effective defense.

    Pong pong pong!

    Shoes stepped onto steel, making banging sounds. As they climbed higher and higher, the peoples¡¯ hearts began to beat faster.

    Something that was made in a day¡¯s time was extremely crude, it made people feel as if they were going to fall off at any moment.

    Some children burst into tears and began bawling, their parents would have to drag them along as they climbed. The people in the back began to crowd over as it started to resemble a ck dragon that was continuously moving toward the vortex in the sky.

    Even if these people were ordinary people, after awakening their bodies have been improved. While the stairway was long, they were able to climb up in a single breath.

    At this moment, some crates appeared at the edge of the dark passage, following that was an explosion of red smoke.

    People who were still alive after the disaster were thinking about leaving soon, but were taken aback by the sudden change in situation. The expressions of the aptitude users began to change.

    That was because the red smoke bombs were issuing a warning.

    People here had no consciousness, no awareness and the crowd was noisy. This time Qin Feng did not have anything organized and nothing had happened to the people in a distance so far, but when the red smoke bombs were unleashed it meant that danger was iing.

    Boom boom boom!

    The parachute of these boxes opened up, the sign on the outside let the aptitude users know what it was.

    Qin Feng held up the loudspeaker and shouted.

    ¡°If you don¡¯t have a weapon, go grab a gun and get ready to fight!¡±

    He took out a pair of binocrs that was previously taken from a low-endbat uniform store and looked off into the distance.

    He, along with Ning Xin, Guan Shan and Li Yuanshan, had not left. They were all standing on top of two buildings in different directions. At this time, these four people felt that something was up and were looking through their binocrs

    From the concrete jungle, they could see an influx of ultra beasts!

    ¡°Uh oh!¡±

    Qin Feng did not know if these ultra beasts were caused by the backflow of energy generated when the spatial passage was opened or that they had already appearedst night.

    At this time, a cratended on Qin Feng¡¯s building.

    He kicked open the lid and saw what was inside. It was a self-assembled hand cannon.

    This kind of hand cannon was something that the Fengli Organization had designed. It was made from conveniently found G-tier materials but its real force was the equivalent of an E-tier attack. It was a weapon that the Fengli Organization had yet to reveal to the world.

    That was because if this kind of weapon were released it would definitely shake up the market and draw the attention of other people. Unless Qin Feng made it to the S-tier, this kind of arrogant approach would only make a lot of enemies.

    It was something he was aware of.

    Ka-cha, click, click!

    Qin Feng quickly began assembly andpleted it in half a minute.

    Ning Xin, who was near Qin Feng, gawked at his smooth motions.

    ¡°You should also carry a gun for emergency self-defense!¡±

    Qin Feng threw a rifle to Ning Xin and quickly assembled a powerful long-range sniper rifle.

    Within two to three minutes, he had already set up his gun and aimed it at the horizon.

    m!

    Although the silencer had reduced its noise, there was still an audible noise. From Ning Xin¡¯s binocrs, he saw an ultra beast getting a hole blown through the center of its forehead, bloody misting out from the back of its head.

    His eyes widened.

    ¡°So urate!¡± Even the gunners did not have their consciousness, relying on previously umted knowledge and their familiarity with guns as they eyeballed their shots.

    That shot was at least two kilometers away!

    If Ning Xin did not have his binocrs, he would not even have been able to see the movements of the ultra beasts!

    It was during this rueful moment that Qin Feng pulled the trigger again!

    m!

    Another ultra beast dropped to the ground.

    Qin Feng tightly twisted his brow into a knot, and his hands did not stop moving!

    There were too many ultra beasts!

    One person¡¯s power was very limited, but an early offense could buy them some time so that the ultra beasts might retreat after they catch the scent of blood.

    Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!

    The sound was near continuous.

    If Ning Xin had not been standing beside Qin Feng and staring off into the distance with his binocrs, he would have thought that Qin Feng was firing at thin air.

    The intersection a kilometer away had beenpletely drenched by a tide of blood, more than a dozen ultra beasts had been in.

    However, the ultra beasts were still advancing from all directions. By now they were finally discovered by the aptitude users guarding, making the guards more nervous than ever before.

    The ultra beasts were not that powerful in terms of strength. They were the same as the Green Vipers from before, most of them were around G-tier or F-tier ultra beasts and only a few of them were E-tier.

    In fact, this entire area was the territory of the lone Tiger King that Qin Feng encountered. Due to the Tiger King¡¯s death,bined with the aura being distorted by the ovepping space, other ultra beasts would have been attracted over.

    However,rger ultra beasts dared note, only because the smaller ultra beasts were not part of the Tiger King¡¯s food chain. The high level ultra beasts were afraid of dealing with the Tiger King, and had yet to determine whether or not the tiger was truly dead or not.

    This also gave Qin Feng and the other humans some breathing room.

    Despite this, without the support of abilities or internal force, the strength of these people were worrisome.

    Brraak-brrat-bbrt!

    A series of gunshots could be heard, sieving through the ultra beasts and causing blood to flow.

    However, the ultra beasts were fast. A group of monkeys instantly scaled a building, and they were intelligent enough to take notice of the aptitude users on the roofs and leapt onto the buildings.

    ¡°Hooo!¡±

    The monkeys hooted, abruptly grabbing a person and flinging them off the side of the building.

    ¡°Aaaaaaaagh!¡±

    The aptitude user screamed, he did not carry a parachute with him or a glider so he could not control where he was going in the air.

    Thud!

    With a muffled sound, the aptitude user instantly crashed to the ground and turned into a bloody pancake.

    The aptitude users on the buildings were suddenly thrown into disarray.

    The original suppressing fire had rxed a little, causing more ultra beasts to rush toward the crowd in the central square!

    Qin Feng turned his rifle muzzle and aimed it at another building.

    Tap!

    Arge monkey which had been unting its might instantly got one of Qin Feng¡¯s bullets flying through its head.

    Tatatatata!

    The bullets flew in one after the other. It did not take more than thirty seconds before all of the monkeys on the buildings were shot in the head!

 Chapter 806 - Manic Slaughter

    <h4>Chapter 806: Manic ughter</h4>

    These aptitude users were finally saved from their ordeal, but the intersection had ultra beasts rushing through by then.

    ¡°Aah! Open suppressing fire!¡±

    ¡°Help!¡±

    ¡°Aaaaieee!¡±

    These aptitude users were originally powerful people. When there was not any spatial ovep, they were living in Chongluo City which meant that they all had to be at least C-tier or D-tier!

    But now, they might as well be stunned cannon fodder, they could not withstand the ultra beast assault at all.

    Among the ultra beasts, fast moving wolves rushed over quickly. The one that took the lead was obviously an E-tier beast king, it was at least five meters tall and seven to eight meters from head to tail. Originally, this would have not been a problem, but today it was a tyrannical force.

    ¡°Aahwooo!¡±

    The Wolf King opened up its bloodthirsty maw and bit down on the loudest aptitude user it could find. With just one bite, only two lonely legs were left behind!

    The Wolf King chewed a few times before gulping the aptitude user into its abdomen.

    The other wolves leapt over the obstacles in their way and came down upon the humans. A few Grey Wolves tore into a human, sending chunks flying as a result.

    This scene reeked with the stench of blood and fear of death.

    Qin Feng loaded a missile, raised his arm and aimed it at the intersection.

    Scree!

    A low whistling sound came from Qin Feng¡¯s hand cannon as a missile was shot out, tracing an arc through the air and mming into the distant intersection.

    Boom!

    A loud explosion rang out as if the entire world had begun to shake, showing people the power of artillery fire.

    ¡°Awoo!¡± ¡°Wuuhoo...¡±

    Three or four of those grey wolves were sted apart by Qin Feng¡¯s attack, with two or three being extremely injured.

    Only the Wolf King deftly managed to avoid this attack, a pair of ruthless eyes swept across the field before locking onto Qin Feng.

    ¡°Let them retreat! Covering fire!¡± Qin Feng eximed.

    This time, Ning Xin¡¯s heart was drumming. If possible, he actually wanted to go ahead and leave instead of staying.

    He could not help but cry out in frustration, ¡°Leave? There are still so many people, leaving is impossible! Dammit, hurry up and fight! Kill the ultra beasts!¡±

    After he shouted out like that, he realized that Qin Feng had disappeared in the blink of an eye!

    He quickly looked down and saw a figure deploying a glider.

    Qin Feng had jumped down!

    The glider took Qin Feng as he flew toward the Wolf King.

    ¡°Wuu...¡±

    The Wolf King howled and then suddenly jumped. Its huge body stepped onto the high-rise building, moving as if it were flying. ording to its point of view, Qin Feng was a grasshopper that could easily be crushed under foot.

    The two collided in mid-air.

    On the roof of the tall buildings, all the other aptitude users stared at the scene with their hearts in their throats.

    There was no denying that Qin Feng was the strongest out of all of them. If he were to die or lose this battle, this would be an extremely devastating blow to them.

    He was carrying arge hand cannon in his left hand and the ck Verdant Emperor Saber in his right hand. His movements were extremely fluid.

    Whoosh!

    The glider on his back instantly retracted, preventing Qin Feng from being unable to control his body flexibly while in the air. As the glider retracted, his body suddenly dropped as he took the Wolf King face on.

    ¡°Whoo!¡±

    The Wolf King opened its jaws, as if it would swallow Qin Feng at any moment.

    Qin Feng raised his right hand, the Verdant Emperor Saber directed at the beast¡¯s bloody maw.

    Pfft!

    The weapon slid along the beast¡¯s mouth, shing inward.

    Thud!

    Qin Feng sailed through the air andnded on the ground. His legs hit the road and cracked the ground under his tremendous strength.

    The Wolf King was still soaring through the air. From one side, the Wolf King looked like it waspletely motionless. Only those looking at it from the front would have known that the Wolf King¡¯s body had been split in two!

    In just the time it took for one breath, the corpse of the Wolf King which had ceased movement in the air finally crashed down. Blood spilled everywhere on the ground. In an instant, people¡¯s spirits rose up.

    This was a huge morale boost!

    ¡°General Qin! General Qin killed the beast king!¡±

    People cheered like it was a significant victory!

    ¡°Don¡¯t celebrate too early, hurry up and attack. Don¡¯t let the ultra beasts rush over and protect the ones retreating!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s move! Hurry up!¡±

    ¡°Everyone on the edge retreat, find a building to hide in!¡±

    The crowd at the perimeter had already started to stampede, but these people had nowhere to go, there was no way out. There were ultra beasts everywhere, they were surrounded!

    On the stairs, the people naturally heard the sound of Qin Feng firing his missile. When the ground vibrated the stairway shook, causing the panicked screams and some people even fell off the stairway.

    However, nobody cared about them.They were all desperately running, desperately herding up as they knew that this was their final way out.

    Those who went out naturally saw what was happening outside. Especially the first B-tier aptitude user to step out. The moment they left the ovepped space and entered their original realm, they were full of power.

    The consciousness could be activated, the runes rose in a fit of joy. The stairway felt like a luxurious stairway to heaven.

    This was apletely different feeling from what was happening below, it truly let people feel what an aftermath was like.

    Meanwhile, in the ovepped space, things were getting heated.

    A thirty-meter wide stairwell into the sky. Even if it could let out fifty people per second, and if the process was not disrupted, one minute could let out three thousand people, ten minutes would mean thirty thousand people!

    But how many were there in Chongluo City?

    How many people coulde out in one day?

    The entire central square was densely packed, there were at least a hundred thousand and more there.

    But they were surrounded by ultra beasts.

    ¡°Back up! Back up!¡±

    ¡°Damn it, run away! Run!¡±

    ¡°Stop it!¡±

    The aptitude users roared out, letting the civilians move along first so they could leave as fast as possible, but the speed was not up to point.

    Qin Feng was at the edge of the crowd, frantically hunting down ultra beasts.

    His speed was extremely fast,pletely relying on his physical power to move around but it was impossible to catch him on the move with the naked eye. When he arrived at a ce, it was like a gust of wind.

    Wherever he went, all that was left on the ground were the corpses of ultra beasts!

    Still, Qin Feng¡¯s power alone was too small!

    The number of people in the central square had dropped by one third and the human defensive circle was constantly shrinking, more importantly, there were more and more ultra beasts rushing over.

    The human line could be torn through at any moment, rushing toward the crowd to rip them apart.

    At this very moment, life could be snuffed out in an instant!

    ¡°Yaaaaaaaagh!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was soaked in blood, only mechanically raising his arm, swinging and running, killing every enemy within his line of sight!

 Chapter 807 - A Mountain of Corpses, A Sea of Blood

    <h4>Chapter 807: A Mountain of Corpses, A Sea of Blood</h4>

    Qin Feng was a streak of devastation, tearing through flesh wherever he went as the scent of blood continued to permeate the air.

    The area that he passed through was starting to look like a winding creek of blood.

    His movements were very quick. When a person was just killed by an ultra beast, Qin Feng would charge toward it and obliterate the creature before disappearing with a whoosh.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s movements were not too fast and there were moments where he was seen by people. He was now drenched in blood, like a butcher void of emotions, no matter what kind of ultra beast it was he would kill them all without mercy!

    Surrounding the area where the humans were gathered, a ring had been formed, but between the area where this encircling ring was and the humans were, there was a river of blood!

    These were all Qin Feng¡¯s kills!

    Broken corpses with severed limbsid everywhere, blood, organs and minced meat were all clumped together in piles. The stench of blood was enough to make people nauseous.

    The people ran frantically, stepping onto the stairs that allowed them to escape into the sky. The footsteps stepping onto steel turned into a constant banging, but they could not suppress the roars of the ultra beasts.

    At this time, the people on the top floors of the surrounding buildings had gradually stopped their attacks. That was because there were ultra beasts everywhere and they had run out of ammo. Their attacks would have been in vain.

    What was worth celebrating was that it was not clear if Qin Feng managed to enrage the ultra beasts or because it was another reason, but these ultra beasts rushed to the square one after another and even ignored the humans hiding in other ces.

    The people who were hiding in basements, in their rooms, could only listen to the roars of the ultra beasts and pray for the crisis to pass.

    By now, the central square had seemingly shifted to feel like purgatory.

    ***

    Outside, as people continue to flee from that hellish ce, Bai Li and Z looked out of the window of an aircraft to observe the strange world below.

    At this time, Z¡¯s face bore a fanatical grin.

    ¡°Among these people, some of them have eaten the meat in there and be aptitude users! They could be really good research subjects!¡±

    Bai Li spitefully snorted, ¡°After opening the spatial passage again this time, I¡¯ll leave it open for a little while more. Whatever you want to research, you can go in there and see for yourself instead of experimenting with the people here!¡±

    Z disagreed. At this moment he was more interested in watching the countless ultra beasts that were rushing to the central square as he said, ¡°Unfortunately, if there weren¡¯t a limit on one¡¯s abilities within then I definitely would have investigated it myself. Imagine this, you open the spatial passage, and there¡¯s countless amounts of energy pouring into that world from that passage. That is the reason behind why the ultra beasts are being drawn over!¡±

    On that note, Bai Li did not deny that. In fact, the spatial passage had been opened for a long time. In fact one in the outside world could barely see with some kind of white mist in the area.

    This was not any kind of rune. It was energy.

    And those ultra beasts were rushing over because they were attracted by this energy!

    After so many days of research, Bai Li had cracked the space here and had a heavy handed method of forcing it open. However, she could not say how long this could be kept up.

    After this rescue, she still had to wait for Qin Feng to get out before discussing the next rescue n.

    ***

    Meanwhile in the ovepped space, as time passed the number of ultra beasts began to increase, while the number of people began to decrease. Qin Feng was moving all over, ughtering even more vigorously.

    The ultra beasts looked like a rushing river when seen from above the buildings,ing in from all directions.

    These ultra beasts were obviously of different species, but they did not attack each other. They only decided to go for the humans. It was only when the humans were dead that they would start fighting each other for food.

    ¡°We should leave too!¡± Lin Yuanshan said. The strength of these ultra beasts were not strong, but he found himself unreasonably terrified.

    This was already the scale of a small monster tide. Although this could only be considered about E-tier in terms of power, right now he had no ability to fight this and was getting anxious.

    ¡°That¡¯s not good...¡± Guan Shan started. This meant that they would be leaving Qin Feng behind to fight on his own, but at the same time, they were not of much help!

    ¡°What¡¯s not good, those who can work will do more. Do you think you can still help now?¡±

    ¡°This...¡± Guan Shan gulped, swallowing his words. It was true, there was absolutely nothing they could do to help.

    With that in mind, Guan Shan quickly raised his g and issued themand for retreat.

    Civilians did not have equipment, but these aptitude users had everything on them, even gliders on hand. Upon the signal of retreat, everyone suddenly became excited.

    They did not want to wait any longer. In fact, nobody wanted to die. It was just that because Qin Feng and the senior officers of Chongluo City were present that they did not dare defy their orders.

    Now that Li Yuanshan had issued the order, they could finally leave!

    Swish, swish!

    These people opened up their gilders and soared toward the top of the stairs through the air like a flock of huge birds.

    This scene was naturally seen by Ning Xin in the distance.

    It made him anxious.

    ¡°Qin Feng, prepare for retreat!¡± Ning Xin cried out via a loudspeaker.

    Almost everyone was already on thedder!

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were bloodshot at this point. Upon hearing Ning Xin¡¯s words, he stopped his stiff movement for a moment and raised his head, looking into the air. Those aptitude users had opened up their gliders and were retreating!

    He gave Ning Xin a hand gesture, it was the gesture to retreat! When Ning Xin saw this, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.

    People were retreating up the stairs. Even at the base of the stairs, there were no longer people, only an army of ultra beasts upying the area.

    When there were no more humans and only an ocean of ultra beasts, Qin Feng no longer held back and started ughtering everything in sight!

    He mowed through everything in his path like a whirlwind.

    In the sky, thest human had crawled through the stairs!

    Then, the ck passage quickly shrunk and began to close, leaving only spacerge enough for one person to enter.

    That person would be Qin Feng.

    However, Qin Feng did not immediately leave and continued to kill.

    Ultra beast bodies began to pile on top of each other,yer byyer, until it was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

    The blood that was but a mere stream had gathered to be ake.

    The central square had turned into a hellscape, blood seeped into the te and stained it with a dark red.

    Qin Feng did not know how many ultra beasts he killed. It could have been ten thousand, a hundred thousand, maybe more!

    No matter how many ultra beasts came, he would kill them all.

    This rescue operation could only save so many people and Qin Feng was unable to help the rest.

    One person¡¯s power was too little in such a confined space. Without the assistance of many people, the civilians could only rely on themselves or await their demise.

    Qin Feng was not a god, all he could do was shift things in a small direction.

    The originally overrun Chongluo City now had more than 100 thousand people rescued, right?

 Chapter 808 - Staying After the Disaster

    <h4>Chapter 808: Staying After the Disaster</h4>

    While Qin Feng had been ughtering, it was apletely different scenario in the world outside.

    As themunicator contained energy, once there was an ovepping space they ceased functioning but the moment they left, everything was restored!

    Aptitude users all had their strength restored and civilians could also contact other people, telling the others in a panic about their situation and the joy of being alive after all of that.

    They felt as if they had returned to where they were supposed to be and were able to gain a peace of mind.

    However this peace of mind soon brought along new worries.

    ¡°I can¡¯t reach my daughter¡¯smunicator, what should I do? Did my daughter note out with us?¡±

    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have let him go out, I just wanted to eat some barbecue. If he didn¡¯t go out, maybe we could havee out together!¡±

    ¡°Sir, when is the next rescue operation going to be?¡±

    ¡°Waaaah...I want my mommy, I want my mommy!¡±

    The chaotic sounds all blended into one.

    They had managed to escape their end, but their livelihoods were destroyed.

    The city that they lived in, Chongluo City, had always been known for its fairly high safe factor, and that had been established for over fifty years.

    That being said, the people born here were unaware of the dangers outside and had lived afortable life since birth.

    And now, the city had fallen. They had no more homes, no more houses, nond to call their own.

    There were deposits in theirmunicators, but these people had never left their own city before and did not know what the other ces were like.

    It was at this moment that a dialog box automatically popped up on theirmunicators.

    Messages were posted with advanced authorization.

    On themunicators¡¯ screens, someone who people saw as a breathtakingly beautiful woman appeared.

    ¡°Dear Chongluo City residents, I am the vice governor for the North Sea State of the Huaxia Alliance¡¯s Northern Region and I am specifically responsible for this rescue operation. On behalf of myself, I can only express my deepest sympathies for your experience. Later, we will contact the Zhongcheng Group¡¯s hover trains and take you to one of the three cities near Chongluo City! Choose any location!¡±

    ¡°You have another option, which is to follow the Fengli Organization to the North Sea State. The airships will take you to Fengli City free of charge. Aspensation for the disaster, the Fengli Organization will provide amodations and essentials and allow you to live tax free for the next ten years. Later, there will be a prompt on yourmunicators for you to decide!¡±

    After Bai Li¡¯s speech was over, everyone¡¯smunicator screens shifted into a selection screen with the names of three different cities near Chongluo City and one of those choices was Fengli City!

    These people did not even know where Feng Li City was!

    However, they recalled that when they were scaling the metal stairway they saw fourrge words tacked onto it which read ¡®Made By Feng Li¡¯.

    Not only that, when they raised their heads they could see four airships hovering in the air. They were huge and vast and the signs on them red brightly with two words, ¡®Feng Li¡¯.

    Whether it was before or now, they had this name deeply etched in their memory. So they made their choice, unless the other cities had people they could rely on, most of them chose Fengli City.

    Meanwhile, there was still another group of people. This group was different.

    Unlike the disorganized crowd, they were outside of amand vehicle. All of them were aptitude users and there were quite a number of them, going up to a thousand people.

    Of course, they followed by terms of strength. The weakest ones stood at the perimeter, but they were all E-tier. That meant that they were qualified to be there.

    There were D and C-tiers that made up the inner circle.

    From themand vehicle, six B-tier aptitude users stepped out.

    Jiang Haolin was the first to step out, followed by the first aptitude users to scale the stairs, Long Tao and Zhou Ce, and then finally Li Yuanshan, Guan Shan and Ning Xin who were thest aptitude users to exit.

    The surrounding atmosphere was filled with tension.

    ¡°Jiang Haolin, are you seriously going to betray Lord Liu? Are you bored of living?¡± Li Yuanshan asked in a serious tone.

    ¡°There¡¯s no betrayal. I just resigned, so there¡¯s nothing wrong with that right?¡± Jiang Haolin simply replied.

    Among the six people, he was the one who exited Chongluo City first and witnessed the most.

    Liu Chong gave up on Chongluo City, the regent gave up on Chongluo City.

    Only Qin Feng did not give up.

    He had made the decision, this time he would leave with Qin Feng.

    Besides, Jiang Haolin was not a member of the Huaxia Alliance¡¯s administration, he was just a patrol corps general. He was not the deputy duke like Guan Shan, nor a finance minister like Li Yuanshan.

    ¡°The duke also has situations that are beyond his power, don¡¯t you know? What¡¯s more you¡¯re the first one to escape, what do you have to say about that?¡± Li Yuanshan roared.

    Li Yuanshan bore a grudge against Qin Feng. Naturally, he did not like Qin Feng and did not want him to develop further, gaining more and more subordinates. In his mind, it was better if Qin Feng died in that ovepped space.

    Jiang Haolin let out a bitterugh and said, ¡°Yes, I can¡¯t refute the decision made by Lord Liu Chong, but without a single thought of returning? Obviously, he did not care about the people in the city, he did not care about aptitude users like you and I! You shouldn¡¯t be thanking your good luck, you should be thanking General Qin for not giving up, otherwise you would all be dead!¡±

    ¡°Jiang Bro, think about this again!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t be impulsive!¡±

    Long Tao and Zhou Ce both spoke up. Although rmingly dangerous, even if Lord Liu Chong was here what could he do, would he not be as powerless as them?

    As for Qin Feng, they were naturally grateful, but he was just a B-tier ancient warrior with parallel training.

    As for Jiang Haolin, who was also B-tier, he truly wanted to take refuge from the other person, they thought he had gone crazy.

    Why did they follow Liu Chong? Was it not because Liu Chong¡¯s resources could be easily essed and helped with their cultivation? Could Qin Feng do that?

    Jiang Haolin looked at the disapproving faces of these two and knew what they were thinking. There was a smirk at the corner of his mouth, these people did not know how powerful Qin Feng was.

    For this group of arrogant and defiant people who respected nobody but themselves, how would they understand?

    Just that moment, another voice chimed in.

    ¡°I¡¯ve decided to follow Brother Jiang!¡±

    It was Ning Xin!

    Ning Xin was really stunned by Qin Feng. He had heard some news about him, an ability user who was also an ancient warrior, wielding both fire and dark abilities. The weakest note about him was that he was the number one prodigy.

    More importantly, when the others were powerless, Qin Feng, being a parallel martial artist, still rushed into the danger zones to rescue people.

    In thest fight, Qin Feng¡¯s outstanding marksmanship was what stood out the most to Ning Xin.

    This person was beyond a genius, he was a straight up demon.

    Maybe Qin Feng was B-tier now, but it would only be a matter of time before he reached A tier. What was more, he might reach a level that they could only look up to but never see a trace of!

    S-tier!

    Ning Xin decided to ce his bets on him!

 Chapter 809 - Liu Chong Arrives

    <h4>Chapter 809: Liu Chong Arrives</h4>

    That being said, Ning Xin¡¯s decision stunned the people present.

    ¡°Boss Ning, what are you...¡± Zhou Ce gave Ning Xin a wary look. He never expected that Ning Xin would make such a decision.

    Ning Xing did not say anything else, but he was determined. As a result, that got the other two ability users to start thinking about it as well.

    ***

    In the ovepped space.

    On the central square, in ake of blood, there was only one person standing on that spot.

    The de in his hand did not have a trace of blood on it, but his entire person seemed to have been swimming in that bloodke, drenched head to toe in it.

    Blood dripped from the ends of his hair, dropping onto his clothes and mixing into the gore as it disappeared.

    ¡°Hu!¡±

    Qin Feng exhaled a foul breath, what he inhaled was still the pungent stench of carnage.

    He did not care though. Before his rebirth, there were countless battles like this. The blood had seeped into his bones a long time ago. It was a familiar taste.

    In Chongluo City, the ultra beasts on the surface had disappeared and there were bodies and blood everywhere.

    This battle had temporarily ended, there were no spatial rifts opening and there was nothing present that would attract other ultra beasts!

    However, the city was bound to be different!

    The corpses of the ultra beasts left behind might eventually be a nest for insectoids, allowing them to thrive in the future.

    It was a crisis of extinction.

    Qin Feng turned his head and swept around the city. No one seemed to be looking for help.

    Maybe they saw the beast tide and did not want toe out again, or think about trying to leave.

    It was because the fear of death made them give up on the opportunity!

    ¡°I¡¯ll go back first to clean up myself! Better bring someone over!¡± Qin Feng thought to himself. He also had many ns for an ovepped space.

    With that in mind, he lifted up his heavy feet and climbed up the stairs. From the start of the battle until now, he had exhausted a huge amount of physical energy and without the Absorption Ability he was not able to recover the lost energy.

    It was just an upward staircase and it took Qin Feng three minutes to reach the top. He looked very worn out. If he went up with his previous speed, he would have finished within a few seconds.

    Finally, after passing through the dark spatial passage, Qin Feng felt that everything had be different.

    Internal force and consciousness instantly returned to his body, or in better words, they were inside his body the whole time but they were sealed and unable to be used.

    Now, everything was back!

    Not only that, there was a humming sounding from the Verdant Emperor Saber at this moment and there seemed to be a drastic change!

    Before Qin Feng could investigate, a powerful aura came welling over, exerting its pressure.

    An A-tier aptitude user.

    It was not Qin Feng who could feel it, all the other aptitude users felt it at that moment as well.

    In the sky, someone was stepping through the air,ing from a ce not too far away.

    This ce was the spatial beacon site for Chongluo City.

    As they got closer and closer, some people recognized this figure¡¯s identity.

    Chongluo City¡¯s duke, Liu Chong!

    Previously, during the city¡¯s descent into chaos, he did note. Now that a few people had been rescued, he decided to show up!

    No matter how you looked at it, the arrival of this person would bring a great unforeseen event to many people.

    At this time, a group of people had already boarded Qin Feng¡¯s hover cars. This included a significant number of low-end aptitude users.

    These aptitude users were not very strong but there was hope for them in the future. Between them, they would be the ones to receive more news than the civilians.

    They knew that Liu Chong did not send anyone to rescue them, in fact nobody came to rescue them. Only the Fengli Organization did.

    Thatst stairway operation had given them a great impression about this group.

    Liu Chong¡¯s arrival drew the attention of many people at that moment. He too saw the situation and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Where is the person in charge? This decision you¡¯ve made, where are you sending these people?¡±

    On the airship¡¯s tform, Bai Li had already noticed Qin Feng, so she was the first to transmit the word to him and told him of her decision!

    Qin Feng did not feel that there was anything wrong with what she did and nodded in agreement. Only then he used his internal force to amplify his voice and announced,

    ¡°I am Qin Feng, the president of the Fengli Organization and I am responsible for everything here.¡±

    This time he did not use his title of a Huaxia Alliance General.

    That was because Liu Chong abandoned Chongluo City and Shang Han also revoked the mission. Qin Feng remained, representing himself while Bai Li represented the Fengli Organization when she arrived.

    He continued, ¡°I have ordered that the rescued refugees choose which nearby city they wish to go to, or they can choose to return to Fengli City with me!¡±

    Liu Chong¡¯s gaze fell onto Qin Feng, his brow furrowed and he seemed very displeased with Qin Feng¡¯s blood-soaked appearance.

    The blood on him was just the blood of low-level ultra beasts. So what if you ughtered so many, just so you can take credit?

    Liu Chong spoke with some discontent, ¡°Why should they go with you? They should all stay, as long as there are people here a city can be built after some time. After half a month, we can just build a new Chongluo City!¡±

    After all, Liu Chong also needed his subordinates. The people provided by his subordinates should preferablye from the city, otherwise he would have to spend more resources recruiting subordinates from other ces.

    Of course, when Liu Chong returned the most important thing he wanted to deal with was the six B-tiers aptitude users that escaped.

    That was what he cared about the most.

    If not a single one of them was alive, he would not even bother. If one person came out, he would think abouting up with some arrangements. If all of them came out, then not bothering with them was out of the question!

    ¡°As for you, I¡¯ll tell the regent about this mission to give you somemendation!¡± Liu Chong waved his hand dismissively at Qin Feng as if to wave away some beggar, as if trying to make him go away!

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression suddenly changed.

    ¡°I am here acting on behalf of myself and on behalf of my organization. I have the right to deal with the people I rescued and they have the right to choose if they want to stay or leave. This matter is not up to you alone!¡±

    Liu Chong angrily red at Qin Feng. ¡°Who do you think you¡¯re talking to? Who do you think you are to dare speak to me that way?¡±

    Qin Feng mocked in a lower tone, ¡°Who do you think you are? Chongluo City¡¯s duke? Your city is now in an ovepped space and has disappeared from this ne. If you want to show your worth then go ahead and go save the remaining people!¡±

    Liu Chong let out augh, ¡°You think once you rescue them you can control what these people are thinking? Then ask now, do they still want to leave?¡±

    Qin Feng replied, ¡°Fine, let¡¯s try that!¡±

    He lifted his head to Bai Li and said, ¡°Re-open the poll for everyone and show what their choices are!¡±

    Bai Li nodded and sent out the message without hesitation.

    This time, after thest choice, there was one more!

    That was to ¡®Rebuild Chongluo City¡¯!

 Chapter 810 - Whatâ€™s the Actual Capability

    <h4>Chapter 810: What¡¯s the Actual Capability</h4>

    There were options avable to go to Fengli City, other cities, or rebuild Chongluo City.

    Three options were given to everyone, even Liu Chong, the duke of Chongluo City, had received it on hismunicator.

    Furthermore, there was also an additional entitlement for selection.

    ¡°All of you can choose again!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s voice was channelled in every direction.

    She was not using any seduction abilities, but it was her natural born look that everyone looked forward to.

    Bai Li¡¯s beauty was unforgettable from the first sight. If it was not because of her ability that had blurred the impressions of the others, with only her appearance, she could have already achieved higher recognition than Qin Feng.

    Now that Bai Li had made the announcement, everyone seemed to have recalled Bai Li¡¯s look when she was announcing earlier.

    Meanwhile, the civilians and the aptitude users were presented with another opportunity to make their choice.

    The duke of Chongluo City was before them, but everyone was unfamiliar with his face.

    Especially for the civilians, or even the D-tier aptitude users, none of them were qualified to witness the A-tier aptitude user!

    ¡°Rebuild Chongluo City? Well...but there is free shelter at Fengli City,pared to rebuilding Chongluo City, perhaps the city would offer less job opportunities, I rather not do that!¡±

    ¡°There will be tasks assigned to us, and the benefits are still unknown, but the Fengli Organization is such a well-known entity, and it is developing quite well, it is better to go to Fengli City!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t care, I will select Fengli City!¡±

    ¡°I am not afraid of offending anyone, the duke would definitely not remember me, I am just a poor person, I choose Fengli City!¡±

    All of them had already selected Fengli City earlier. As soon as Liu Chong appeared, his voice was directly embedded with internal strength and channelled to everyone¡¯s ear. He sounded arrogant and righteous to his ims. It had caused unpleasant feelings toward many, but they were afraid of voicing out their anger.

    Qin Feng had already mentioned that it was his personal action, and the others were given the option to select for themselves.

    Some of them noticed that Liu Chong was there to im the ripe fruits!

    Qin Feng was the one who had rescued them, and Liu Chong only arrivedter to im his share on the rewards, like he was genuinely entitled for a free lunch.

    Furthermore, when looked at from a wider perspective, it was Qin Feng who had saved them. The Fengli Organization had saved them, and their saviour was still standing on the stairway blood-soaked, how could they not be grateful of the sacrifice?

    Hence, those who had selected Fengli City were more affirmed with their decision. All of a sudden, the percentage score of the first option surged higher, it was already above eighty percent.

    At that moment, those who were still undecided began to choose Fengli City. Even those who were still considering to head to other cities had re-evaluated their choice, Fengli City seemed to be a better option.

    Liu Chong¡¯s speeches and actions were likemands from a top position. He was unaware that since he abandoned Chongluo City, those people had left Chongluo City and the ovepped space. All of them no longer belonged to his city nor his civilians, they were a bunch of freemen.

    Everyone quickly made their choice, and the percentage was kept high above every other option. However, there were still some that assumed that opportunities in the emptied Chongluo City would be in abundance for them, and perhaps they might get their chance to be one of the elders.

    With such hope in mind, some of them hesitated for a long time and finally made their decision to pick the third option!

    However, the finalparison was still shockingly one-sided.

    To Fengli City: Seventy-four percent

    To other cities: Four percent

    Rebuild Chongluo City: Twenty-two percent

    Theparison left Liu Chong infuriated.

    It was exactly a p onto his own face.

    He suffered the same amount of embarrassment as the excessive confidence that he had earlier.

    It had only been several days, and unexpectedly all of them had switched sides. Liu Chong had no idea what had actually caused such a massive shift in those people.

    After all, all of them had lived there for many years!

    ¡°Great, alright alright alright, go, just a bunch of ants, I don¡¯t even care!¡± Liu Chong mocked emotionlessly.

    Meanwhile, several aptitude users exited from amanding truck.

    Liu Chong descended from the sky when he saw those B-tier aptitude users, and he was slightly relieved.

    ¡°d that all of you are alright, Ning Xin, gather the remaining people, let¡¯s rebuild Chongluo City!¡± Liu Chongmanded.

    Ning Xin immediately reacted with an unusual expression and looked toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng saw Ning Xin¡¯s expression and noticed that he had something to tell, he immediately reacted and got down from the stairway.

    Qin Feng had not cleaned up the bloodstains. Even if he had cleaned them up, perhaps he would still need to change his worn-outbat fatigues to cover up the torn tapes on his body, it was too much of a hassle for him.

    As soon as he got down, everyone in the surrounding gave way for a path to pass through, it was a showcase of their reverence, and also their fear!

    Qin Feng¡¯s blood-soaked shadow was intimidating the surrounding with his terrifying presence.

    Qin Feng moved forward, and his ear was embedded with internal strength that allowed him to hear Ning Xin. As Ning Xin saw Qin Feng walking over, he became more inclined to speak up, ¡°Master Liu, Chongluo City has been ruined. I have been striving for the city for years, now, I want to explore around.¡±

    During those years, in return for a stable and secure life, he had stayed and guarded the city for Liu Chong. It was indeed easy andfortable, but he still wished to go into battles, and fights. Perhaps he could have died, or perhaps he could have already achieved A-tier!

    Furthermore, from the option that he had selected earlier, he had already made up his mind to go to Fengli City.

    It was an undeniable fact.

    Among the others, Jiang Haolin had also made the same decision.

    Liu Chong could no longer stand it anymore!

    ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Liu Chong stared hard, an intense intimidating pressure exploded and oppressed Ning Xin.

    Ning Xin was immediately silenced as he fell back a few steps.

    It was at that moment, Qin Feng intercepted in between.

    ¡°Master Liu, hold on, there are civilians around, your oppressive aura might harm the innocent!¡± Qin Feng circted his internal strength and instantly nullified Liu Chong¡¯s oppressive aura, and it seemed to have been done effortlessly.

    However, Liu Chong was obviously livid. He no longer cared about those restrictions. In his angered response, ¡°Alright, figures, you are backed by an extraordinary person that you have recruited. It has only been days, and you have already influenced my subordinate to switch to your side!¡±

    Qin Feng answered in his calm and deep voice, without any intention to exin the rtion, ¡°It is their own choice, I am not interfering in any form, but I do believe they have made the right choice!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s first statement was not intended to exin the rtion, and neither was it supporting Ning Xin¡¯s decision in any way!

    But thest statement stated before Liu Chong almost seemed to be a provocation.

    Qin Feng definitely had the intention to influence his subordinates to switch sides.

    Liu Chongughed in anger, ¡°Have they made the right choice? You are just a B-tier aptitude user, and you are only able to enter into the ovepped space with parallel training. I would like to find out what you have up your sleeves to face off with me!¡±

    Liu Chong dered his menacing statement as he shifted his vision toward Ning Xin, and he looked threatening and fierce.

    ¡°I will expose to you the true capability of the person that you wish to follow!¡±

 Chapter 811 - Want to Test My Capability?

    <h4>Chapter 811: Want to Test My Capability?</h4>

    ¡°My capability? I don¡¯t need assurance from others, Master Liu, are you saying that you want a battle against me?¡± Qin Feng asked in a deep voice.

    Qin Feng was not afraid of any face-off against others.

    While Liu Chong was also in a fearless state, fuelled by his ignorance of his opponent¡¯s capability.

    ¡°Exactly!¡± Liu Chong put up a direct answer.

    Although there were a lot of rumours rted to Qin Feng¡¯s mighty battle scores, the details were kept from many.

    It was totally normal, as Qin Feng would not dere the details out loud by himself.

    His first battle with an A-tier aptitude user was at the Abyssal Ocean¡¯s Divine Mountain. There were only several that had returned, and none of them was aware that Qin Feng had killed an undead puppet beastmaster that could go against S-tiers.

    The second encounter was at the Amazon Alliance, the continuous loss of a great number of A-tier aptitude users had forced the Amazon Alliance to hide the news at all cost. The situation was only stabilized by summoning back assistance from other regions, even the S-tiers were about to get involved in handling Qin Feng.

    The third encounter was none other than the ck Citadel, where Qin Feng had killed thirty in one breath. He then continued with his venture into Hell Ind, another insurmountable ughter had then taken ce!

    All three encounters were hidden from the public eyes, even news about all of the incidents were concealed by the higher management.

    Since Liu Chong had been following an S-tier, he had not been following incidents happening in Huaxia. If it was not because of Jiang Haolin who had contacted him with a special method on the development of the situation, he would have note back.

    Hence, Liu Chong only knew Qin Feng from his recent years of rising up as a new talent. He was not even aware of Qin Feng¡¯s hero ss title fromst year, he would also not care about a B-tier that he could easily crush.

    Surprisingly, the B-tier was now provoking him!

    Liu Chong absolutely wanted to give Qin Feng a lesson.

    Bam!

    Liu Chong stomped on the ground; his entire bodyunched into the air as he flew up into the sky.

    Liu Chong¡¯s qinggong skill was showcased at its finest.

    After several breaths, Liu Chong had already arrived at the lower peak of a hill a thousand meters away.

    Qin Feng looked toward Liu Chong. He did not hesitate, it was a fight that he had to stand up to.

    He could afford to forgo several of the B-tiers that wished to follow him, but he could not afford to do the same to therger crowd.

    How would it be righteous for Liu Chong, who had done nothing, to juste dere his ¡°rights¡± and lead the crowd away?

    Qin Feng had definitely not seen such an unjustifiable deal before. Whether it was before his rebirth, or after, his temperament had not changed at all, he would definitely not lose out to such injustice.

    Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

    Qin Feng demonstrated his qinggong skills, transforming into an array of opaque shadows. Within several breaths, he had already arrived at the peak of a hill opposite Liu Chong.

    Both of them were at the peaks of lower hills, named as Sisters Hill, with their connected part stretched from the centre, forming into an M shape with an interval gap of about five hundred meters.

    It would be impossible for any ordinary B-tier to extend their attacks to the opposite side, but with the internal strength or ability of an A-tier, it was a piece of cake to crush the opponent from the opposite.

    ¡°Do you really want to fight me like this? Aren¡¯t you afraid that you might die in a horrible way?¡± Liu Chong warned emotionlessly using his internal strength.

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°You have no idea about my capability, are you sure you want to do this? I¡¯m afraid that it might not be a favourable ending for you, Master Liu!¡±

    Qin Feng sounded harsh in his answer, but he was also genuinely trying to persuade with kind intentions.

    Also, from the position where he stood, it was five hundred meters away, he had already decided not to face-off against Liu Chong in a hard fight.

    Or else, with only a slight impact from Phantom Shift paired with Verdant Emperor Saber, Liu Chong would have already died on the spot.

    ¡°You sure talk big!¡± Liu Chong was livid, his voice was embedded with internal strength, and it was humming like rolling thunder.

    Meanwhile, aptitude user witnesses at Chongluo city were struck dumb by the unexpected situation, their saviour that had saved them earlier was about to battle Duke Liu Chong.

    ¡°President Qin is about to fight Master Liu, is he able to win the fight against Master Liu? He is just a B-tier!¡±

    ¡°Although President Qin is only wearing a B-tier badge, based on his leaked internal strength, he is definitely above B-tier, and much more powerful than that!¡±

    ¡°But that is still not enough!¡±

    ¡°I have heard about President Qin, he seemed to have killed many A-tier aptitude users, but the news was not disclosed to the public.¡±

    ¡°If that is the case, would Master Liu be hurt? Also, Master Liu is backed by a powerful S-tier!¡±

    Discussions began to spark among the crowd, while Qin Feng who was on the field maintained his firm posture and dered, ¡°Master Liu, both of us are members of the Human Alliance, regardless of the intention, it would definitely be inappropriate for us to battle each other, why not we have an agreement?¡±

    Liu Chong answered with a cold voice, ¡°Isn¡¯t it toote to put a halt to this escted situation?! But I can agree with that, after all, it was Shang Han who sent you, and I am supposed to keep my respects to her!¡±

    Obviously, Liu Chong assumed that Qin Feng was trying to dodge the battle with his excuse.

    But Liu Chong also felt that Qin Feng was right, it was obviously inappropriate for them to engage into a deadly fight, even if Liu Chong wanted to teach Qin Feng a lesson, it was unnecessary for him to kill Qin Feng.

    ¡°Facing such provocation, I would just need to win the battle and re-establish my reputation to even greater than before, and it is also a good time to re-evaluate those subordinates!¡±

    Such evaluation would definitely include rationing resources to lower the supply!

    Especially to Ning Xin.

    Qin Feng saw that Liu Chong had agreed, he then nodded. ¡°If so, let¡¯s have the hills as our boundaries, whoever goes down will then lose!¡±

    Liu Chong epted the offer immediately, ¡°Deal, if you lose, you have to get lost and return to your so-called Fengli City. As for the reward for this rescue, since you have mentioned that it is your own decision, I will also not report to Shang Han!¡±

    Qin Feng did not care about those reward at all, he immediately continued, ¡°If you lose, you will no longer have the right to be involved with Chongluo City that has been struck by the spatial ovep.¡±

    ¡°Deal!¡±

    ¡°Recording done, then let¡¯s have a good fight!¡±

    Meanwhile, more than ten unmanned drones had already flocked toward the surrounding to capture the battle scene from all angles. Aptitude users were able to utilize internal strengths and abilities to observe situations from far away, but civilians were unable to do so.

    However, their battle would be directly broadcasted to everyone¡¯smunicator around the scene. They had even connected to the battle and immediately published the recordings, it had already been viewed by countless viewers!

    The reason was because it was a battle against an A-tier ancient warrior.

    In the entire world, A-tiers were highly ranked to their esteemed positions, and every A-tier would be symbolized as the presence of prestige and the highestmand.

    In the absence of S-tiers, A-tiers would be recognized as kings.

    The A-tiers were revered and upheld by countless numbers of aptitude users below their feet.

    Especially for ancient warriors, observing battles of powerful figures would allow them to understand further on battle skills.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I respect your courage, but I will not hold back on this!¡±

    Liu Chong looked toward the surrounding unmanned drones, and he realized that the battle would allow him to help spread his reputation far and wide.

    He raised his hand, a long sword was drawn, he then withdrew a ring from his spatial rune equipment and ced it in his hand.

    Then, he turned his wrist and pointed the sword toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Deca Kendo Strike!¡±

 Chapter 812 - Ultimate Battle Skill Showdown

    <h4>Chapter 812: Ultimate Battle Skill Showdown</h4>

    Deca Kendo Strike originated from the Huaxia Alliance ancient warrior system. It was a battle skill that would allow one to achieve S-tier.

    Even lower tier ancient warriors were able to practice Deca Kendo Strike. After all, the skill advancement was uncapped, releasing a sword was also one of the styles from Deca Kendo Strike, simr to releasing a hundred swords, or a thousand swords.

    However, in order to achieve S-tier battle skill for Deca Kendo Strike, it would require at least ten thousand swords.

    The battle skill was already long published within the Huaxia Alliance, and it was recorded that there were six people among the S-tiers that had mastered the skill. Long Ting was one of them, he was the duke of Dragon Capital, and figurehead of the entire Huaxia Alliance.

    However, He Tianxing, who had mastered duelling swords, had also mastered the same skill!

    Being a follower of an S-tier aptitude user, Liu Chong would definitely have mastered Deca Kendo Strike, and he had mastered it quite formally, even without achieving S-tier. His formidable Deca Kendo Strike would at least be above A-tier.

    At that moment, countless eyes were wide open, wanting to witness the powerful release of the battle skill. They were overwhelmed by emotions, it was like they would certainly be able to learn something from the battle.

    It was the highly regarded A-tier Deca Kendo Strike!

    At the same moment, the long sword floated before Liu Chong, faintly shivering while humming. The sword then expanded like a fan, shaped into hollow shadows, and the fan was at least made up from seven long swords.

    They then expanded outward.

    Humm humm humm!

    Tens of thousands of swords hummed altogether, striking everyone with goosebumps.

    Within several breaths, there were already thousands of sword shadows that were formed before Liu Chong. All of them were transformed into physical matter from internal strength, embedded with extremely powerful attack power, covering the sky and ground. It was even sufficient to crush its opponent¡¯s hill.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Liu Chong had great confidence in himself, it would only require a single strike for him to demolish his opponent¡¯s hill. By that time, Qin Feng would be left with no choice but to retreat.

    Sustained by the constant fueling of horrifying internal strength embedded into the kendo gust strike, it was like an oceanic amount of internal strength from an A-tier ancient warrior, approaching in torrential waves.

    The powerful gusty wave assaults were tant, although it was a thousand miles away, its presence was still unbearable.

    The crowd was worried for Qin Feng.

    But at the same moment, Qin Feng had also raised up his Verdant Emperor Saber in hand.

    The moment his Verdant Emperor Saber was drawn out, it was humming, like something was bothering it, wanting to be set free from its body, to glide out and fly away.

    When constrained within the spatial ovep, the Verdant Emperor Saber had not reacted this way, simply because it was unable to sense energy within the space.

    However, could it be that those ultra beasts that died within the space would lose their soul energy?

    No, it would still be there, and they were all absorbed by the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The Soul-lock Stone embedded on the Verdant Emperor Saber had firmly imprisoned the souls, while they were still trying to set themselves free and devour everything in sight.

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    Qin Feng embedded his internal strength into the Verdant Emperor Saber, it was his first time setting off his newly mastered S-tier battle skill.

    He did not control the number of souls within the Soul-lock Stone, all of them were activated altogether.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength was like a great flood that had broken through the dam, gushing down from above. Every soul was embedded with a slight amount of internal strength, and now, within Qin Feng¡¯s Soul-lock Stone, how many souls were there?

    The urrence of the spatial ovep had brought on a massacre to ultra beasts, tens of thousands had died, or at least eight thousand had died.

    All of a sudden, the sky and the ground faded from their original colour tone. An array of greyish dark colour exploded from Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber, when looked closely, it was made up from translucent hollow shadows of different ultra beasts.

    They were the souls of the ultra beasts!

    Qin Feng¡¯s dantianke was instantly emptied by more than half.

    Tenkes...

    A hundredkes...

    Three hundredkes...

    Roar roar roar!

    Hollow shadows became more solidified as the sky and ground continued to be discoloured. Howling gales swept across thend, at that moment, the witnessing crowd was struck by horrifying cold chills down their back.

    Such a terrifying battle skill.

    Those who were worried for Qin Feng were jaw-dropped as they stared on from afar.

    The battle between the two waspletely unrestrained.

    Humming kendo gust, howling soul shadows, both finally collided together.

    The kendo gust pierced through the spirit shadows, while the spirit shadows swallowed the kendo gust. Attacks from both sides were quickly nullified, and had they even umted into a massive explosion. Expanded internal strength then swept across nts on the hills, giant trees were uprooted, and grass and branches were blended into pieces.

    It was insanely horrifying.

    It was a jaw-dropping moment to witness such a destructive force annihting the ground to a perishednd.

    Then, the world-shaking entanglement had instantlye to an end, and the winner was immediately determined.

    Undoubtedly, Qin Feng¡¯s ultra beast shadows were too overwhelming, too horrifying. The kendo gust was oppressed by those growling hollow shadows as they swarmed and rushed toward Liu Chong.

    Liu Chong was instantly rammed out by the hollow shadows.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    Liu Chong vomited a mouthful of blood as his entire body was tossed up high and he rolled down the hill. The remaining souls were controlled by Qin Feng and mmed onto the peak of the hill!

    ¡°Boom vroom vroom vroom vroom!¡±

    The hill and the ground were shaken, and the entire hill was flushed by constant attacks. Soils were overturned, it was like andslide, and the peak was being destroyed.

    Dust gusted across while a cool breeze swept through, and the chaotic scene had settled down. The crowd witnessed that Qin Feng was still at his original spot, but the opposite Sisters Hill was trimmed off by more than ten meters in height.

    The entire peak was no longer in jade green colour, it was transformed into a dark yellow tone, and obviously it was because of the overturned soil.

    Halfway up the hill, a shadow of a person rose up, surrounded by an internal strength shield, but blood was trickling down the edge of his mouth.

    It was Liu Chong.

    ¡°Master Liu, you have lost!¡±

    The voice was channelled across and awakened everyone from the shock, an outcry was heard.

    Unexpectedly, Liu Chong had lost!

    An A-tier aptitude user, a person who had mastered the Deca Kendo Strike, a powerful figure who had mastered it to the essence, and yet, he had unexpectedly lost in the face-off against Qin Feng, and it was a crushing defeat.

    In Liu Chong¡¯s eyes, he was confused and disorientated, caught by mixed feelings of anger and terror, and struck by the pain from his internal injury.

    After a moment of silence, Liu Chong then spoke up.

    ¡°I admit to the defeat!¡±

    Liu Chong was almost clenching his teeth up to his back mr tooth, he swallowed the surging blood and made his statement. He knew that he had beenpletely defeated, and he had lost all of his reputation.

    The ce was heaven for the winner, and yet hell for the loser!

    Liu Chong raised his hand, and a spatial waymark was activated. He no longer cared about those who had chosen to stay and rebuild Chongluo City, without any hesitation, he stepped into the spatial passage and left the ce.

    As soon as he had left, people from the Fengli Organization immediately cried out their cheers.

    ¡°Fengli is victorious!¡±

    ¡°President Qin is victorious!¡±

    ¡°Long live President Qin!¡±

    Those who had decided to follow Qin Feng also smiled, they had made the right choice, and even betted on the correct fortune. In the future, they would definitely be led by a powerful figurehead. They just needed to follow his footsteps, and it would definitely be the correct move.

    The shadow of the blood-soaked person was then held high in their hearts, a person who they would admire, and a person that was untouchable.

    Meanwhile, news of the battle had taken over the battle. Every aptitude user of the Huaxia Alliance was shocked, and it had also triggered a wave of uproar.

 Chapter 813 - A Rise to Fame

    <h4>Chapter 813: A Rise to Fame</h4>

    ¡°Liu Chong is an A1-tier ancient warrior. A superbly talented champion. His Deca Kendo Strike is rather unmatched too! And yet, someone like him would lose to this kid?! Just who is this young man?!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t you know? That¡¯s Qin Feng! He¡¯s the prodigy fromst year!¡±

    ¡°Prodigy? Come on, be real! How could a mere young prodigy like that grow so much in just a year? To the point where he could beat Liu Chong?¡±

    ¡°Oh, you¡¯ve been missing out, man! Lemme tell you his recent feats...¡±

    Discussions and gossip started to spread like wildfire. Qin Feng¡¯s recent feats, as a result, began to spread vast and wide to various cities in just a day.

    The video of him beating Liu Chong had been watched by various ancient warriors again and again because it was a really good material for reference when one was to fight champions.

    Many were curious about the martial arts that Qin Feng used in the fight too.

    Just what kind of secret technique did he use to beat this A-tier¡¯s S-tier martial arts?

    Some ability users used their abilities and equipment to yback the whole fight in slow-motion. As everyone was impressed by the great disy of Qin Feng¡¯s skills, one person started to mumble to himself.

    ¡°This... looks like the fabled Wanzhong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend?¡±

    Many knew about this Spirit Chain Rend. It was from a tale that many told one another from hundreds of years ago. Every S-tier in the Huaxia Alliance was the talk amongst others in theirnds. Some of their feats were retold so much that it became something of an urban legend.

    ¡°Hmm, this does look like the Wanzhong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend. But... Qin Feng¡¯s Spirits looked more beastly while Lin Wanzhong¡¯s Spirits were all humanoids!¡±

    ¡°Well, this is quite understandable. Lin Wanzhong was a devil who murdered millions of people! This was how he perfected his Spirit Chain Rend¡ªby using human souls. This was also why so many S-tiers got together to take him down back then!¡±

    ¡°Wow, so Qin Feng has mastered this legendary martial art? That¡¯s impressive!¡±

    ¡°Indeed. And martial arts aren¡¯t good nor evil. It all depends on who uses it. Unlike that murderer Lin Wanzhong, Qin Feng utilized the souls and spirits of the ultra beasts that he had in. It just shows that when in the hands of a good man, a martial art has the potential to do good.¡±

    Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement. No one had a problem in Qin Feng using this so-called ¡°evil art¡± that came from a murderer.

    Nheless, there were still some people who were paying a keen interest on Qin Feng¡¯s mastery of the Spirit Chain Rend.

    ***

    On the 9th Floor of the Dragon Capital.

    Long Yue, Long Yunyi and a rather elegant looking woman were sitting together in a room, watching arge screen.

    ¡°It¡¯s only been a while since we parted. And yet, he has already mastered it!¡± Long Yunyi sighed.

    Long Yue nodded with a stern expression on his face.

    Meanwhile, a beam of smile curved up on the woman¡¯s face. ¡°So, this is Qin Feng, huh? Interesting!¡±

    ***

    In a fancy club in the Dragon Capital, dozens of n leaders were gathering for a dinner.

    Suddenly, they received a message before switching on a big screen. The screen showed Qin Feng and Liu Chong¡¯s fight.

    The joyous dinner turned into a dull torment.

    Their faces were all grim and pale.

    ¡°So... remember we said we¡¯d give Qin Feng 3 years?¡± One of the leaders opened his mouth.

    They all then recalled that moment. They could not help but feel the sting of irony on their faces.

    ¡°3 years? I thought he was just stalling for time after all those bluffs. Now that I think about it... perhaps it was him that gave us a chance to save our faces. He didn¡¯t even need 3 years. We can¡¯t even touch him after just one year!¡±

    ¡°That Fengli Organization is going to be a goliath corporation in no time.¡±

    Everyone then sighed in defeat. They were thankful that they did not openly cross Qin Feng at the time. They were thankful that they hesitated when they got the chance to cross him.

    If not, they would be totally ruined.

    Now, no one in their group dared to touch Qin Feng ever again.

    ***

    There was a cascade of tremors rocking the Huaxia Alliance and even the Dark Coalition.

    However, these were all not of Qin Feng¡¯s interest at the moment.

    After Liu Chong left, Qin Feng could finally rx and get back to his aircraft.

    However, as soon as he stepped into the aircraft, Qin Feng instinctively felt a surge of danger in the air. Every thread of nerve in his body was perked up for another fight to the death.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness immediately locked onto one person in the airship.

    That person too did not bother to hide his presence. Instead, he stood up and walked straight toward Qin Feng, approaching him as if it was just business as usual.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned grim. ¡°What the hell are you doing on my ship?¡±

    Z did not mind Qin Feng¡¯s hostility at all. Instead, he stood there and looked at Qin Feng¡¯s bloodied body with keen interest.

    Qin Feng¡¯s mouth twitched as he raged in anger, ¡°Do you think those ultra beasts could take me on? The blood is theirs, not mine!¡±

    A clear disappointment crept onto Z¡¯s face.

    Qin Feng did not want to entertain him at all. However, it was true that he still needed to report the results of his mission to Z. As such, he said, ¡°Wait here. We need to talk about that mission of yours.¡±

    ¡°Oh? But you haven¡¯t brought the Devourer back though?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a change in circumstances!¡± After leaving another word impatiently, Qin Feng walked into his private cabin to clean himself up.

    Despite having the blood washed up and having a change of new clothes, Qin Feng still could notpletely wash the stench and presence of ultra beasts¡¯ blood off him. If there were young children standing near him right now, they would all weep out in fear and pass out. Thankfully, there were no children around at the moment.

    Aftering back to the airship¡¯s lobby, Qin Feng noticed that Bai Li was not back yet. She seemed to still be busy handling the refugees.

    As such, Qin Feng sat on the sofa and had a stare-down with Z. These two were only acquainted for a short time but they were definitely not on friendly terms.

    A momentter, Qin Feng told Z about Chu Fan.

    ¡°This boy seemed to be someone you kidnapped. And he is very well-versed in the subject of spatial ovep. You better watch out because he will devour everything in his path ande back to seek revenge on you!¡±

    ¡°Chu Fan? I don¡¯t know who that is. Still, this boy seems to be a really interesting research sample. If he dares toe out of the spatial ovep, I¡¯ll definitely retrieve him for further research.¡±

    Qin Feng frowned. ¡°If this entire thing is not done under your orders, then can¡¯t you at least order your underlings to exercise some restraint?¡±

    Z did not seem to care at all after listening to what Qin Feng had to say though. To him, research and scientific advancement for mankind were the most important thing on this.

    Besides, a genius like Z was used to closing doors of opportunities wherever he went¡ªafter all, he was blessed enough to be a genius. Men like him were never short of opportunities.

    This was also why Z was so self-centered and severelycked empathy.

    ¡°Well, even though the Devourer is gone, I realized that this ovepped realm is quite a fascinating research subject. Perhaps we could get something much better than the Devourer too! Okay, a change of ns! I want you to bring some living samples for me from the ovepped realm. If you can do it, then I¡¯ll call it even. Oh, you¡¯ve also humiliated Li Xiao¡¯sckey earlier, right? If you want, I could help you deal with them if theye harassing you.¡±

    Qin Feng was stunned when he heard this. However, he quickly recovered hisposure and asked, ¡°Li Xiao? You mean that S-tier that Liu Chong swore allegiance to?¡±

    Z nodded. ¡°This man is a genius. A true genius in martial arts. He was the best prodigy I¡¯ve known in his younger days. Of course, he¡¯s quite wary of the emergence of other talented people because he does not want anyone to rece him. So, you better watch your six.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned grim.

    He did not know just how true Z¡¯s words were. However, he did not know any ¡°genius S-tier prodigy¡± whose name was ¡°Li Xiao¡±.

    Unless he did not use his real name when he was out in the world.

    Unless he used some other aliases.

    Li Xiao, S-tier, a genius.

    Then, a name popped up in Qin Feng¡¯s head!

 Chapter 814 - Prince Xiao

    <h4>Chapter 814: Prince Xiao</h4>

    ¡°Prince Xiao!¡±

    Qin Feng breathed out the name as though it was a spell incantation.

    Z nodded and smiled. ¡°Li Xiao is really powerful. The Li family once had a champion so great that he almost became a supreme champion. In fact, I don¡¯t know if that man is really dead or not.¡±

    Qin Feng stared at Z speechlessly.

    Information like this was something even the pre-reborn Qin Feng could not get a hold of.

    Z then looked at Qin Feng intently. ¡°So, you better get stronger quickly. If not, the Li family would definitely tryying you to waste. They would never allow another person to be the supreme champion!¡±

    Despite feeling great shock, Qin Feng mocked up a calm look.

    Humans would rise up selflessly to protect one another when in time of crises. However, in peaceful times, they would fight one another endlessly.

    In Chengbei colony, where Qin Feng came from, it was a rather small, unruly ce. When the rat swarm came, everyone did their best to stop the ultra beasts. Eventually, with thebined efforts of everyone in Chengbei, they overcame the crisis.

    However, after the rat swarm, when everyone finally got to live a peaceful life, the hard-earned peace was destroyed via numerous infighting.

    If Z¡¯s words were to be believed, an SSS-tier did appear in Prince Xiao¡¯s family before. And that person was the only person who got close to bing a supreme champion in thest two hundred years.

    SSS-tier. An existence so supreme that he was like an emperor amongst the S-tiers.

    Huh. Hence, this was why Li Xiao was called ¡°Prince Xiao¡±. This was quite a fitting name really.

    And if there was someone showing a great deal of talent and potential, perhaps far better than Prince Xiao, making him the much better candidate to be the supreme champion, would the Li family humbly ept this?

    Perhaps humans could co-exist with one another when they were equal. But now that this family had already gotten a taste of greatness, they would do anything to stop others from taking away the ¡°best¡± title from them. To them, ¡°being the best¡± was what defined them and their family.

    What a terrifying enemy!

    However, a momentter, Qin Feng beamed up a bitter smile. ¡°If you¡¯re thinking of using this as an excuse to lure me into agreeing to going through your experiments, you¡¯re dead wrong, Z!¡±

    Indeed, Z¡¯s information and intel gave Qin Feng a good scare.

    Still, when Qin Feng thought about it carefully, these were not really something to be fearful of. Qin Feng had the intention of bing a supreme champion after being reborn. There was no way he would be content with bing just a little stronger than who and what he was in his previous life. And to reach the greatness that he wanted, Qin Feng was already mentally prepared to face any impossible obstacles that were thrown his way.

    And this was all just his own ambition.

    And what was the reason for Z telling him all these obstacles to his ambition? It was quite clear that Z still intended to not give up on his ¡°spirit champion¡± research!

    With his ploy seen through, Z seemed to not feel embarrassed or discouraged, in fact he started to double down. ¡°Hey, I¡¯m not bluffing. Trust me! If you ept and participate in my experiments, you¡¯ll be even more powerful than you¡¯ll ever imagine! You might even be more powerful than me!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled coldly. ¡°If you¡¯ve got the time to say this to me, why don¡¯t you go and research those living creatures that have just appeared in the ovepped space? These things hold a better chance in awakening humankind¡¯s potential. Perhaps your dream of making humans unbeatable beings would be realized through this. Just give up on all those old research you¡¯re so obsessed with back then. Those aren¡¯t the right way!¡±

    And Qin Feng was speaking earnestly too.

    ording to what he remembered from his previous life, Z¡¯s research did not yield any actual results that he wanted. In fact, all that the research produced were more and more mutants that made the Dark Coalition stronger and stronger!

    However, things could all be changed.

    Due to Qin Feng¡¯s meddling, Z¡¯s research could very well change into something better for humanity! Qin Feng felt that the findings from within the ovepped space were something that were more suited and humane in awakening humankind¡¯s potential.

    Of course, it did not matter if Z wanted to pursue this research. Qin Feng intended to do it himself anyway.

    Regardless, Qin Feng was going to head back into the ovepped space anyway¡ªnot just to collect research samples for himself but also for Z.

    There was so much work to be done.

    Thus, Qin Feng summoned Bai Li over.

    ¡°How¡¯s things outside?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°It¡¯s mostly been handled. Most of them want toe with us. As for those who want to stay and rebuild Chongluo City... heh, there¡¯s no way we would ept them in our ranks again. If they have chosen that path, they better stick to it. Of course, if they want, I would send them to other cities. Or perhaps leave them all under the care of Li Yuanshan!¡±

    ¡°Hold on. The other B-tiers want toe with us too?¡± Qin Feng was surprised to hear this.

    Bai Li nodded. She was an A-tier beast deity; so, to her, it was quite normal to have a few B-tierckeys around.

    However, those B-tiers did not want to go with them because of Bai Li. Jiang Haolin, Ning Xin, Long Tao and Zhou Ce wanted to pledge allegiance to Qin Feng.

    After giving it a short ponder, Qin Feng made up his mind. ¡°Jiang Haolin will be stationed at Fengli City. The other 3 will be stationed at the Cinderst Region.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s your call!¡± Bai Li did not mind at all. She was indifferent with what kind of treatment these four people would have under their ranks. Still, she could tell who Qin Feng favored amongst the four of them.

    Jiang Haolin was the one that Qin Feng trusted. As such, he was sent to Fengli City.

    Although at first nce one would think that being sent to the Cinderst Region was the better deal due to the vast resources one could gather from that realm, Qin Feng¡¯s actual main site of operation was in Fengli City. In the city, they had Glittering Gold Sand. If Jiang Haolin was stationed there, he could rank up rather quickly.

    Then, Qin Feng added, ¡°I intend to covertly send a group of people into the ovepped space. To avoid detection, I intend to dig a tunnel and go there underground.¡±

    Bai Li understood what Qin Feng meant immediately. ¡°There¡¯s no need for all that trouble. Even though the spatial coordinates are a mess in there, I could still open up a crack as an entrance to that realm. So long as we could secure a coordinate from the other side, I could open up an entry point from here.¡±

    ¡°So, you mean... we could teleport straight into the Fettering Land¡¯s realm?¡±

    And, this also meant that they did not need to go to Chongluo City too. Just anywhere on the other side.

    Qin Feng nned to go there underground because he was worried that someone would detect them going to Chongluo City from the skies. However, the actual Fettering Land was not just the area around Chongluo City¡ªthe ¡°Fettering Land¡± was basically an entire parallel Earth that was on the other side of a dimensional wall. Therefore, if they wanted, they could just go into that realm from a different spot on this Earth.

    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve been studying this realm a lot when you¡¯re not around. So, it¡¯s quite viable.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s decided then!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately contacted Wang Chen¡ªan underling who had earned his trust.

    ¡°I need a group of unawakened civilians. The more the better. Sixteen years old or older. And they should be people who yearn to be ability users. More importantly, they must not be recruited against their will.¡±

    ¡°People who yearn to be ability users?¡± Wang Chen immediately recalled all those researchbs that Qin Feng had established and understood what he meant.

 Chapter 815 - Meeting Chu Fan Again

    <h4>Chapter 815: Meeting Chu Fan Again</h4>

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get on it right away!¡± Wang Chen replied immediately, not even questioning why Qin Feng asked him to get those people.

    Qin Feng nodded to himself after hearing Wang Chen¡¯s reply. This was a real subordinate that he needed¡ªsomeone who would do anything to fulfill his order, even if it meant doing something crossing one¡¯s own principles.

    If he could fully use this kind of subordinate, he could be the best kind of weapon in his organization, assuming that he did not overdo it and cut himself in the process.

    Still, Qin Feng believed that all of his subordinates would not do any inhumane things under his leadership.

    ¡°Good. Now, I¡¯ve learned that although this Fettering Land around Chongluo City is indeed a perilous ce, the ce actually does not affect the powerless civilians much. In fact, this could be an opportunity for people like them!¡±

    Qin Fen then briefly exined what was going on in the Fettering Land. This was done so that Wang Chen could do his job better. More importantly, he needed him to find volunteers.

    Yes, volunteers who were willing in participating in his research!

    He did not want to be the Second Z. If not, he would make a lot more enemies unnecessarily. He might not even know who had be his enemies due to the various consequences of reckless research.

    ¡°Certainly, President Qin!¡±

    After listening to Qin Feng¡¯s exnation, Wang Chen¡¯s mind was finally at ease. He quickly created a name list that fulfilled Qin Feng¡¯s requirement. After hanging up hismunicator, the first thing he did was contact Wang Cheng¡ªhis own little brother.

    Wang Chen¡¯s family had all moved to Fengli colony. His seventeen-year-old little brother was one of them. Their family had no need for one more gunner. As such, Wang Cheng nned to train to be an ancient warrior. This was also why he had been training so hard that he had be the top student in his martial art sses.

    Unfortunately, after awakening, it was revealed that Wang Cheng only had minimal potential ¡ªhis potential was so low that he could only be the lowest ranked gunner! Even though Wang Chen had acquired a lot of resources working under Qin Feng, he could only help Wang Cheng ascend to E-tier.

    Of course, Wang Cheng was still provided with one of the best guns avable in the colony by his big brother. This meant that even though he was an E-tier, he could still take on fierce ultra beasts with minimal aid.

    ¡°Little Cheng, have you ever thought about bing a real ability user. Like, bing an ancient warrior?¡±

    ¡°Of course I have! So, what kind of goodies have you found this time, Bro?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not a Heavenly Jewel. It¡¯s an opportunity. An opportunity thates with risks. You might need to go out and kill some ultra beasts.¡±

    ¡°By doing that, I can be an ancient warrior?¡±

    ¡°Yes. It¡¯s an opportunity given by our President.¡±

    ¡°Say no more, Bro. I¡¯m in! To be frank, if you said you wanted to give me some kind of Heavenly Jewels, I wouldn¡¯t ept it. I¡¯ve thought about it alottely and I¡¯ve epted that I might not be born for greatness. So, if it¡¯s some more freebies, I¡¯m going to reject them. But this time it¡¯s an opportunity. I get to work to get what I want! So, I¡¯m in! I¡¯ll do my best!¡±

    ¡°Good. Then, I¡¯ll put you on the list.¡±

    After hanging up, Wang Chen continued on sending out messages after messages, making calls after calls.

    ¡°Mr Li, how¡¯s it goingtely? I¡¯ll tell you what. I¡¯ve got a golden opportunity over here. One that could make you a legitimate ability user! What? How much would it cost you? Nah, no charge. What? You can¡¯t be thinking that we are short on cash right now, could you? No. I don¡¯t want your money. I want your resolve. Your dad¡¯s business has grown so much and yet you¡¯re not an ability user, which makes it very difficult for you to inherit his empire. Not only that, you can¡¯t join us, the Fengli Organization, without being an ability user too. So, I hope you would consider taking this opportunity, my friend!¡±

    ¡°Hey, Little Han! Do you still want to take your revenge? Great! I have an offer for you...¡±

    ¡°Gentlemen, this is a golden opportunity from our President! Do consider it! I can secure a ce for each one of you on the list!¡±

    Wang Chen was very efficient in his work.

    The Fettering Land was still a treacherous ce for civilians¡ªbecause when they stepped into this ce, there would be no ability users protecting them. They could only rely on themselves for self-defense. This was why Qin Feng asked Wang Chen to get people who were willing to participate. However, from the way Wang Chen worded it, this sounded like a ¡°golden opportunity¡± for all these powerless plebeians.

    If one wanted to rise to greatness, he better be ready to face some danger. If not, he might as well be a pleb all his life!

    Thus, as soon as Wang Chen¡¯s messages were sent out, a small storm was kicked up in his inner circle. In a matter of minutes, a thousand people had registered to participate in this experiment! If they were to announce this to the public, they could get billions of people taking part in this!

    After all, this experiment could make any powerless civilian into an ability user!

    Regardless, Wang Chen did not take everyone. Instead, he handpicked a few people who seemed capable of taking care of themselves inbat.

    While Wang Chen was getting volunteers for the experiment, Qin Feng stayed on the aircraft to handle various affairs that came with the migrating poption from Chongluo. 3 hourster, Qin Feng then asked Bai Li to open up the spatial tunnel.

    The sky was turning dark.

    Therefore, not many people noticed that there was a spatial tunnel opening up in the sky. Qin Feng darted straight into the tunnel and quickly sealed off the entrance of the tunnel, not giving time for the creatures in the Fettering Land to absorb any of the energies from this side of the world.

    ¡°Crunch Crunch Crunch!¡±

    After a few moments of hovering in the air, Qin Feng could hear some loud, eerie chewing from below. It sounded like some huge creature was chewing and devouring a lot of its prey in the woods.

    Qin Feng quickly held his breath to conceal his presence as hended on the ground. Even though he did not put much effort in presence concealment, due to not many people having their consciousness activated, Qin Feng was still as stealthy as a cat.

    After a few silent steps ahead, Qin Feng saw it¡ªa five-meter, chubby ultra beast with round ears and thick pelt. From afar, it looked like a big, fat bear!

    The ultra beast was sitting on a patch of grass, using its long tongue to lick clean the corpses and blood on the ground.

    More importantly, there was a young man riding on the bear¡¯s back.

    ¡°Growwl!¡± The bear¡¯s ears perked up as it instinctively sensed Qin Feng¡¯s presence.

    As soon as the bear saw Qin Feng, the young man on its back too had taken notice of Qin Feng and looked in his direction.

    ¡°Who¡¯s there?!¡±

    The young man¡¯s voice sounded childlike and yet aggressive.

    Qin Feng immediately recognized who that was.

    ¡°Chu Fan! It¡¯s me!¡± Qin Feng opened his mouth as he stepped out of his hiding.

    ¡°You!¡± Chu Fan did not expect Qin Feng to appear before him. ¡°I thought you¡¯ve already gone home? Why are you back?¡±

    Chu Fan¡¯s eyes were glittering with doubt. Despite that, his eyes did not radiate hostility like he did thest time they met.

    Chu Fan hated Z. He wanted to destroy everything that Z created. However, this did not mean that Chu Fan waspletely consumed by hatred.

    After observing for a whole day, Chu Fan could tell that Qin Feng was different. Everything he did in Chongluo City felt so different from Z¡¯s methods.

    To add more, Chu Fan was also able to determine Qin Feng¡¯s faction through a day¡¯s worth of observation¡ªthis Qin Feng belonged to a faction called ¡°Fengli¡±; and ¡°Fengli¡± was not part of Z¡¯s organization.

    ¡°I¡¯m just here to handle a few things... and a few words of advice, man. You¡¯ve seen their research before; so, you should know that it¡¯s a bad idea leaving these corpses lying around like this. In just one day, this whole ce would be swarmed with giant bugs!¡±

    Chu Fan¡¯s eyes glittered with interest before opening his mouth, ¡°You are so different from Z!¡±

    ¡°I did tell you that I¡¯m not with him!¡± Qin Feng answered with a bitter smile. ¡°Still, if I were you, I wouldn¡¯t be showing myself without making sure that I could take on my enemy!¡±

 Chapter 816 - A Newfound Ally

    <h4>Chapter 816: A Newfound Ally</h4>

    ¡°Mind your own business and leave me alone. What do you know? I am the one nurturing the Devourer. This world is tailor-made for me!¡± Chu Fan¡¯s eyes were consumed by insanity. ¡°As long as I stay here, I would be safe from Z. I am confident that in less than a year, the Devourer would be a beast deity under my cultivation.¡±

    To Chu Fan, this new world presented him with an opportunity of a lifetime.

    ¡°One year?¡± Qin Feng was baffled.

    That was pretty short. Even Qin Feng, who had grown with little hindrance ever since he was reborn, had spent three years to reach where he was at now.

    Though he had surpassed his old self in the previous life, he had yet to attain the same aptitude user tier. He was still not the A-tier that many would look up to without questioning his credibility.

    Nheless, Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°Even so, can you return to the real world without my help?¡±

    Actually, Chu Fan would not have met the Devourer if not because of Qin Feng.

    In Qin Feng¡¯s memory, Chungluo City had be an abandoned, wastednd in his past life. The entire city had been trampled to dust, without anyone living to tell the story.

    Besides, without Qin Feng, where else could Z find Leviathan¡¯s cells to create Devourer?

    It seemed that Chu Fang was really trapped in here now. He could never leave by himself.

    All these events were connected, which was instigated by a little p of the butterfly¡¯s wings.

    Chu Fan was stunned. An idea then quickly came into his mind and he blurted out, ¡°You said earlier that you are not with Z? The enemy of an enemy is a friend. Why don¡¯t we coborate then?¡±

    Once he teamed up with Qin Feng, then he could enter and leave this dimension freely. Chu Fan had witnessed what Qin Feng was capable of, be it the stairway or the spatial tunnel. He could tell Qin Feng had a huge team rallied behind him.

    Qin Feng was intrigued by the suggestion. ¡°If so, you have to at least show me your sincerity. As a general of the Human Alliances, I can¡¯t just sit and let the rest of the survivors suffer in here. They deserve to live even though they have no courage to escape. Since you would be staying here for a while, rescue them for my sake.¡± Qin Feng paused, then continued. ¡°As you are aware, the flesh and blood of these beasts could stimte human¡¯s potential and strengthen even the non-awakenedmoners. Why don¡¯t you help me distribute the flesh and train themoners in here into aptitude users? At least they would have a better chance to survive going forward.¡±

    It was better to give them the fishing tool rather than the fish.

    It would be impossible for Qin Feng to save everyone as he did before. After missing the first opportunity to escape, the remaining people would never muster enough courage to leave their temporary shelter. Rather than trying to convince them to leave, it was better to equip them with strength. They would then have the confidence to leave theirfort zone.

    Qin Fengmanded further, ¡°I will open the tunnel once a month. But beware. Each time the spatial tunnel is created, a beast wave would be triggered in here. You better hurry up.¡±

    Chu Fan was clearly unhappy with Qin Feng¡¯s bossy tone.

    ¡°Why are you acting like I am your subordinate? Who cares about those people?¡±

    Qin Fengughed it off. ¡°You are still not in the position to be my ally.¡±

    Chu Fan was obviously dissatisfied. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare look down on my Devourer. You have no right to talk to me like that here. Don¡¯t forget, your internal force and consciousness have no use in this dimension.¡±

    While they were busy talking, the Devourer was still feasting happily. Its body had continued to grow. Its ability to assimte devoured energy was no less than the Leviathan.

    Perhaps when Z created the beast, he had purposely focused on this particr attribute of the Leviathan.

    ¡°This thing? It¡¯s a rubbish licker at best.¡±

    ¡°What??!¡±

    Chu Fan clearly disagreed.

    But in the next moment, Qin Feng kicked his legs and charged at Chu Fan and his Devourer rapidly. The absolute speed had Qin Feng vanished from Chu Fan¡¯s sight.

    Chu Fan wanted to move the Devourer but the monster responded sloppily. Before he could react, his body had left the ground and was hanging in midair.

    His neck was being grasped, and the powerful grip dragged him off his footing.

    Then, Qin Feng kicked the Devourer.

    The tremendous force catapulted the Devourer into the air like a ball. The chubby Devourer rolled out a distance and hit on a building outside the square.

    Boom!

    The building shook off dust upon impact, then slowly copsed to the ground.

    It was a terrifying kick.

    Luckily, Qin Feng had purposely avoided the weaker part of the Devourer. Otherwise, the beast would not have survived the kick.

    ¡°This is the true strength of your Devourer, and it is weak as hell.¡± Qin Feng smiled mockingly. ¡°Now, do I have the rights?¡± He let go of Chu Fan.

    Chu Fan staggered before finally finding his footing among the corpses. His face was as ck as charcoal.

    ¡°You!!!¡± Chu Fan was infuriated. He mustered his unique consciousness to recall the Devourer and was relieved to find that his pet was well and alive.

    Nheless, he still resented Qin Feng¡¯s ruthless act.

    ¡°As I have said, I need one more year!¡±

    In which Qin Feng replied coldly, ¡°Then you better do as I tell you in this one year. Otherwise, why should I coborate with you?¡±

    Chu Fan did not like being threatened. ¡°Why did you let me go previously? I wouldn¡¯t have shaken you off if you didn¡¯t purposely let me.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps I just wished that Z had more headaches.¡±

    When Chu Fan had sessfully ran away, Qin Feng had indeedid his eye on this person. After learning about his identity, Qin Feng wanted to see just how far his hatred toward Z would carry him.

    After he was reborn, Qin Feng no longer resented Z as intensely as before. He was angry because of being blindsided. Now, he understood that his past predicament was not directly caused by Z, but by his leniency toward his opportunistic assistants. Still, Qin Feng would be more than happy to see Z¡¯s enemy grow and help him teach Z a lesson.

    Chu Fan would be a great candidate to start with.

    Watching from the third person point of view was better than the first person in this case.

    Chu Fan red at Qin Feng viciously. But he knew Qin Feng did not buy his saying of ¡°the enemy of an enemy is a friend.¡±

    Qin Feng would not ept empty promises. If you wished to work with Qin Feng, then you must first do something practical for him.

    ¡°What a nuisance!¡± Chu Fan was unwilling to take over such a burdening task. Nheless, it was not his choice to make.

    As for Qin Feng, he had no business here anymore and could focus on his own matters.

    ¡°I will take it as a yes. Looking forward to working with you.¡±

    Qin Feng smiled, then said, ¡°I am here to burn the bodies of the beasts. But since your Devourer would need as much food as possible, it can have them all. Remember, don¡¯t leave anything behind.¡±

 Chapter 817 - Investigated the Fettered Dimension

    <h4>Chapter 817: Investigated the Fettered Dimension</h4>

    ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Chu Fan gritted his teeth. That was exactly what he wanted to do. But after being ordered by Qin Feng, he was beyond irritated.

    Looking at Chu Fan¡¯s frustration, Qin Feng found it amusing.

    ¡°I will be leaving then. See you in a month.¡± Qin Feng left the central square after waving Chu Fan goodbye.

    Chungluo City hadpletely turned into an abandoned ruin. Because of a small-scale beast wave, it was more shambolic than before.

    Qin Feng found an old truck and steered it to bump away those wasted, once valued more than a few hundred million high-ss hovercrafts. He crushed all the way through the north.

    The engine howls of the truck startled the beasts and humans wherever it passed by. People who remained in the city had been traumatized by the beast wave and no longer had the courage to leave their vaults. They all thought Qin Feng must have been out of his mind to make such a ring tumult out there.

    Qin Feng, as usual, cared not about how others thought of him and did things his way.

    He banged on all the beastsing at him and left behind a trail of beast corpses.

    Eventually, the giant truck exited the ovepped area and entered the actual Fettered Land.

    ***

    On the outside, of all the people saved by the Fengli organization, some had chosen to leave together with them. They boarded the aircraft and were on their way to Fengli City.

    The rest stayed and waited for shuttles arranged by the Zhongcheng Organization.

    One of them was Li Yuanshan. He nced back at the less than ten thousand people who had to make the same decision as him, and suddenly doubted his own choice.

    His doubt mattered little, though. He would not surrender himself to Qin Feng anyway.

    Aspared to the people who stayed, those that had chosen Fengli and left through thetest portal technology earlier stirred envious thoughts.

    ¡°Argh! I should have chosen Fengli.¡±

    ¡°Liu Chong has left. Are we going to rebuild Chungluo or not?¡±

    ¡°Why didn¡¯t I choose Fengli?! When will the shuttles from Zhongcheng arrive? Would there be danger traveling by the route in the wild?¡±

    Fear toward the uncertainties lying ahead spread feverishly among them. Through their never-endingints, it was not difficult to tell that their loyalty toward the old Chungluo City hadpletely evaporated by now.

    Unfortunately, their future held not much of a promise too.

    As the transporters from Zhongcheng finally transferred thest batch of refugees away from the city, Chungluo had officially be a no-man¡¯snd. Nothing left in this forbiddennd was worth staying for.

    In stark contrast, Fengli City was more vibrant than ever.

    The poption of Fengli had multiplied overnight. The alreadyrge city in the first ce was being continuously expanded. It had now reached the fourth ring of the city wall due to the ever-growing constructions.

    Even so, there was hardly a vacant spot inside the city.

    In less than two years, Fengli City had developed into a great metropolitan little had first envisioned it to be. The joining of one B or C-tier would bring in arge band of followers. It then created a positive loop as more people would follow suit to be part of this prosperous city clearly in an upward trajectory.

    This was, however, probably asrge as the city could stretch. To spread the city past this point would require too much modification of thend in the wild. A lot of cities had thus restricted the maximum expansion at the fourth ring, including Fengli City.

    To further develop, there was only one way left¡ªsurrounding colonies.

    As such, ces that were once barren desert at the south of Fengli City had been transformed into threerge colonies. Its size was close to Chengbei colony, and they were named respectively as *Fengchi, *Fenghuang, and *Fengcheng colonies.

    At first, these three colonies served as the production line toplement the main industries inside Fengli City.

    Right now, on top of Fenghuang, arge aircraft was delivering the refugees to the colony.

    Underneath the Fenghuang colony hid a huge underground base. Bai Li, Wang Chen, and people handpicked by thetter had all gathered in there.

    ¡°Ms. Bai, these are all the peoples selected by me ording to the president¡¯s preference. For now, half of them are gunners who are battle-tested, while another half are all civilians. There are also more than two thousand backup names in my list, which could be called in anytime,¡± Wang Chen reported.

    ¡°Okay. Standby for now. We don¡¯t know when Qin Feng wille back with a suitable location. He hasn¡¯t responded so far.¡±

    ¡°If that is so, then I will have someone train the civilians first. This would at least prepare them for future battles.¡±

    ¡°Good idea!¡± Bai Li nodded. She then said, ¡°Have you prepared theb for Professor Z as told?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s done. I have it set up right next to ourb. Their activity there would be under surveince 24/7.¡±

    ¡°Great!¡± Bai Li nodded in satisfaction. Since Z wanted the resources from Qin Feng, and to restrain Z from doing nonsense or dangerous experiments in the future, Bai Li reckoned why not have Z work under their watch?

    It was better than having him experimenting in ces that they had no eyes on.

    Besides, if Qin Feng managed to exploit the Fettered Land first, then they would be in a favorable position.

    Qin Feng could use it as a chip to negotiate with Z as an equal rather than an inferior.

    They were now waiting only for Qin Feng¡¯s instructions. Bai Li would create a tunnel to connect the two dimensions as soon as Qin Feng¡¯s words returned.

    The waitsted for three days.

    ***

    Inside the Fettered Land.

    After Qin Feng drove the truck out of the city, he gave up on driving due to the bumpy road. He threaded through the outermost forest cautiously on foot.

    The forest wasrgely different from what he imagined it would be. He began to explore the Fettered Land.

    Without the protection of the dark runes, Qin Feng was ambushed by beasts every few minutes. It was a thrilling walk.

    He needed two days to finally trek through the forest. Argendscape opened up in front of his eyes.

    He was following a stream, which suddenly plummeted at about a hundred meters ahead of him.

    He quickened his pace and stepped on a giant boulder. Qin Feng looked down and realized he was on top of a waterfall.

    The waterfall plunged for at least eight hundred meters before it reached the bottom. A light fog was swirling around the waterfall. If the stream was a river, then this would be a majestic fall.

    Instead, it was just a stream less than two meters wide. The water flowed by calmly.

    ¡®It could have been once a wide river here.¡¯ Qin Feng made the assumption based on the old riverbed trail that measured about a hundred meters wide. Moreover, the stones at the bottom of the waterfall had a smooth surface, a sign of constant erosion by more powerful flows.

    Either the river had branched off, or perhaps thendscape had changed due to crust discement. Eventually, the great river had now been trimmed to a two-meter-wide stream. The water flowed down through the rock cleft and hardly made any notable sounds.

    The stream merged with a small pond at the bottom of the cliff. Qin Feng saw a herd of unicorns filling their thirst at the side of the pool. Most of them were D3-tier, with the head of the herd a D7-tier beast king.

    He then gazed up across the huge in that extended beyond the horizon. The grasnd in front of him was nurturing various species of ultra beasts, which scattered all around the robustnd.

    *Trantor¡¯s note: chi (³à), huang(»Æ), cheng(³È) correspond to red, yellow, and orange color, respectively.

 Chapter 818 - Awakening Warriors in the Future

    <h4>Chapter 818: Awakening Warriors in the Future</h4>

    Qin Feng had read about the scenery on earth before the end-times from some ancient literature. This ce looked just like how he had imagined it¡ªan undisturbed natural grasnd with its own unique food chain.

    Ability or ancient art was non-existent. There was simply just pure strength here generated from the most primitive motor¡ªmuscle.

    ¡®This ce should be full of energy but for some unknown reason, it has been tamed and locked up. But relying on brute force alone ain¡¯t that bad.¡¯

    The explosiveness of the beasts living here should not be underestimated. More importantly, their meats were a source of power that allowed its consumer to be awakened.

    That was such an alluring feature.

    Shwaff!

    Qin Feng spread the glider on his back and leaped down.

    He glided through the air like a giant bird. He turned his head back to have a better view of the waterfall.

    At its broadest, the waterfall once spanned about four hundred meters wide. Arge surface that was once scoured by the running water had now beenid bare, with polished stones that were seen lining vertically along the cliff. Qin Feng¡¯s sight traced down the waterfall and found a cave about three meters above the ground. The cave entrance was ten-meter-wide but it was too dark to make out the interior.

    Before Qin Feng could approach the cave, the unicorns underneath had noticed him first.

    Though the beasts appeared tamed and were most likely herbivores, it did not mean they would not react to a potential threat that had just entered theirfort zone.

    The first thing that came into the beasts¡¯ minds when they saw Qin Feng was to chase him away from their water source.

    As such, they began to gallop in parallel to Qin Feng while humming angrily, warning Qin Feng that he was not weed into their territory.

    Yet, despite the taunt, Qin Feng ignored them andnded on the other side of the pool. That was a form of provocation to the beasts.

    Neigh!

    The few unicorns did not sound pleased. They thrusted explosively to skip on a few boulders agilely beforending hauntingly in front of Qin Feng.

    One of the leading beasts then bowed its heads to have the horn aimed straight at Qin Feng. Without a second warning, the unicorn charged at Qin Feng fiercely. The pointed horn would have no trouble puncturing through an ordinary human frame.

    Qin Feng retracted his glider and side-stepped the iing unicorn. In a split second, the Verdant Emperor Saber had appeared in his hand and fell right at the unicorn¡¯s neck.

    Poof!

    The ying motion beheaded the snowy unicorn. Its white fur was quickly tainted by the out-gushing red. The head dropped to the ground and spilled more blood, staining the stones around the ground a velvet red.

    The scent of the blood startled the entire herd. The eyes of the surrounding unicorns were filled with vengeful bloodshot. They charged simultaneously at Qin Feng.

    The unicorns must avenge their kin!

    Crack!

    Temper was ring high among the herd, evident by the shattered rocks as the unicorns bolted through them.

    As they approached, one unicorn used the forward momentum to swing its back leg against Qin Feng.

    But Qin Feng¡¯s saber had reached for its legs a tad faster.

    Chop! Chop!

    The two hoofs were amputated, followed by a swift decapitation.

    Qin Feng set into motion.

    He was used to a physical fight. His physique wasparable to a B5-tier parallel-trained ancient warrior. His body strength even surpassed that of a beast emperor. Thus, Qin Feng was not intimidated by the beasts since he could easily overpower them.

    Qin Feng needed only ten-plus minutes to annihte the entire herd of unicorns. Not even the beast king could have Qin Feng¡¯s mercy.

    Blood was all over the stone. It slowly seeped into the water and turned the ssy pond murky.

    With the entrance of Qin Feng, this water would hardly be cleansed in the foreseeable future.

    Qin Feng surveyed his surroundings and decided to start with the cave he noticed earlier.

    The cave was modest in size. It was only three-meter-high and had an uneven structure, which suggested that it was formed naturally. Qin Feng reached the rear of the cave after about fifty meters in. There was a half-a-meter wide opening in there, which Qin Feng believed would lead to underground water.

    Qin Feng carved out a stone with his Verdant Saber to block the entrance. Then, he picked an area that was considered the smoothest.

    ¡®This ce will do.¡¯ The cave was the most suitable location he hade across the past three days to carry out his experiment.

    Qin Feng opened his bag and took out a few silver stones¡ªSpatial Runic Stones.

    But these stones showed little sign of potency in this dimension.

    Qin Feng returned outside and carried in the D-tier beast king¡¯s carcass on his shoulder.

    The unicorn¡¯s blood was dripped onto the spatial stones.

    This world had a simr energy field just like on earth, after all. But it had been consumed and stored inside the beasts around here. Qin Feng believed all of the creatures in this dimension had the runic energy bound to their flesh and blood.

    If Qin Feng¡¯s act was seen in his world, the observer would think that Qin Feng was performing some sort of evil ritual that required a blood sacrifice.

    At the same time, Bai Li, who had been resting in their original dimension while waiting for Qin Feng¡¯s call, opened her eyes abruptly.

    A silver gleam surrounded her and she was gone the next moment. Her figure re-emerged in the bunker underneath Fenghuang colony.

    The guard in there corrected their posture subtly when they saw Bai Li enter and saluted her.

    ¡°Ms. Bai.¡±

    ¡°Order the men to gather at Hall 0.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    Bai Li strode toward Hall 0 first after giving the order. It was tightly sealed at the moment and had not been opened ever since Bai Li had left three days ago.

    Bai Li unlocked the front door and the spacious Hall 0 immediately came into her sight. In the middle of it, several silver stones were radiating their gleams silently.

    These stones were embedded in an orderly fashion inside a three-meter-high and five-meter-wide rectangle.

    Something was clearly missing from the center of the rectangle te. There was an indentation there, which would fit a stone of simr shape to another spatial stone.

    Bai Li reached her hand out and a spatial stone slowly materialized on his palm. She infused the stone with her consciousness to mark down the spatial coordinates, then pushed the stone into the indentation.

    The move activated the door and sprang it open.

    The silver light around the door was contrasted by the endless darkness it had opened up to.

    The spatial tunnel waspleted.

    At the same time, the groups that Bai Li had requested earlier had also assembled inside the hall.

    The leader was Wang Chen¡¯s brother, Wang Cheng.

    ¡°Have your men carry these things over. He will know what to do with it.¡±

    Bai Li waved her hand and a few pirs appeared out of thin air. The pirs actually worked in the same principle as the rectangle te. Even the spatial stones embedded in it were the same. If someone probed it with their consciousness, then they would realize the spatial coordinates carved on the pir led back to this same Hall 0 under Fenghuang.

    ¡°Yes, Ms. Bai!¡±

    Wang Cheng led the one hundred men, along with the stone pirs, through the tunnel without any hesitation.

    They had been trained rigorously the past three days to prepare them for this moment. Even if they were not entirely prepared, they still had Qin Feng on the other side to guide them.

    Inside the Fettered Land, Qin Feng watched on as a hundred men walked out from the spatial tunnel.

    ¡°President, unawakened prospects, Troop 1, are here to report for duty.¡± Wang Cheng announced spiritedly.

    Everyone put down their belongings and lined up uniformly.

    These peoples disyed unwavering eyes. They did not know what the future held for them, but they all had a passionate optimism about it.

 Chapter 819 - Beyond Expectation

    <h4>Chapter 819: Beyond Expectation</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng was impressed by Wang Chen¡¯s brainwashing scheme. ¡®Unawakened prospects?¡¯ The name might not be appealing but it did the trick on these people.

    Qin Feng decided against saying anything motivational. He did not need to. No words could emte the challenge and exhration they were going to experience in the next phase of their lives.

    ¡°First, assemble the pirs,¡± Qin Fengmanded.

    They moved quickly and set up the new spatial gateway efficiently.

    This type of passageway was a technique yet to be mastered by the Human Alliance. It would shock the world if Fengli were to unveil such a groundbreaking invention to the world. But Bai Li had little interest in turning her skill into an asset. She was unaware that this technique was so valuable until Qin Feng needed it to connect the two dimensions.

    As for Qin Feng, he would not publicize it either. Why would he want to tell the world who Bai Li really was?

    Though some might have guessed Bai Li¡¯s identity, they could only specte as long as Qin Feng did not confirm it.

    As the new spatial gateway was set, the spatial stones Qin Feng had used earlier popped off quietly. The spatial tunnel copsed along with it.

    It did not bother Qin Feng. He could re-open the passage anytime by using the blood of the beast in this world on the new door.

    ¡°Wait here.¡±

    Qin Feng exited the cave and returned swiftly. He came back with the thigh of a beast in his hand.

    He went back outside again and harvested the thigh of the unicorn beast king this time.

    ¡°Have the meat grilled,¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Li Yue, you are up!¡± Wang Cheng picked a chef he knew.

    Li Yue was a fire-type ability user but he was only at G5-tier. His talent was subpar after awakening.

    He was given this opportunity because his sister was a manager in the Fengli Organization.

    Li Yue was an aptitude user, being a chef was never something he enjoyed working as.

    Though he did not understand why Qin Feng needed the meat to be cooked, Li Yue did not question senselessly and did what he does best.

    He skillfully set up a campfire and needed only a short time to roast the fine meats. The delicious smell of the cooked meat immediately filled the cave.

    Qin Feng sliced a piece of the meat and put it into his mouth.

    He chewed it and was delighted by its taste. The beasts here seemed to have directed the energy throughout their bodies. They did not have a crystal core like ultra beasts on earth. Instead, every part of their body could be turned into a ptable meal.

    Qin Feng could not get enough of it.

    The taste of the beast king¡¯s drum went without saying.

    Coupled with Li Yue¡¯s impable cooking, this meal was Qin Feng¡¯s best in the past three days. More importantly, Qin Feng could feel a flow of energy running through his meridian into his limbs and organs. Though subtle, it had indeed strengthened his body.

    But even the subtle change was significant. After all, Qin Feng was already a B5-tier ancient warrior. It was often not easy to progress at this stage.

    Qin Feng then sliced another piece, then turned to the orderly troop. They could hardly contain their saliva.

    ¡°These unicorn meats contain ample energy in it. From my observation, insectoids here have undergone a drastic transformation after consuming the unicorn carcasses. ording to thew of nature in our world, if a low-tier aptitude user consumes a high-tier beast¡¯s flesh or some Heavenly Jewels with violent energy, it would usually end tragically.¡±

    Qin Feng scanned them and realized his words had terrified most of them. They remained still but their widened irises and gulping throats betrayed their fears.

    ¡°However, for some unknown reason, this dimension has its pure energy contained or weakened. This is the reason why you guys are here. I wish to test whether this meat could be consumed by weaker ranks, and also whether it could enhance one¡¯s potential quicker. Your mission here is to adapt, hunt, and get stronger. I wish to see every one of you be a capable aptitude user. But in the end, it¡¯s up to your dedication.¡±

    This, after all, still came with a lot of risks.

    The insectoid might be a primal organism. Though they could transform after consuming the meat, humans as a moreplex organism might not respond in the same manner. Other than the human mutation experiment, there was no precedence that a human¡¯s form could be transfigured or modified easily.

    Despite Z having already tried feeding his subject with the beast¡¯s meat and found no repulsion, there were still too many unknown factors.

    What if there was still a tolerance limit? It was hard to predict whether the subject might implode due to excessive energy or turn into a horrible creature after consuming the raw energy.

    They simply did not have enough data at hand to dere it waspletely risk-free.

    But at the same time, Qin Feng also knew this was a golden opportunity for many people.

    As such, he wanted to see whether he could ¡°crash course¡± a group of aptitude users.

    If this worked out exactly as he envisioned it, amoner could easily be a D-tier aptitude user by eating B-tier beasts¡¯ flesh. That was impressive enough.

    Thus, he put his idea into action.

    Qin Feng sliced the drum meat personally and put it on a te.

    He held the te out, waiting for the first volunteer to im it.

    ¡°I would like to try, President.¡± Amoner named Han Mingwen emerged from the troop and walked past Wang Cheng.

    He was a nobody, not even a gunner. But he carried a blood feud with him.

    Han Mingwen wanted revenge. He had to be an aptitude user, whatever the cost. His ultimate aim was to be a bounty hunter and chase down everyst one of the criminals who belonged to the Dark Coalition.

    Hence, he did not hesitate and bit greedily. He did not chew much but the meat was probably the tastiest food he had ever put into his mouth.

    When the meat reached his stomach, a ring sensation sted off inside his body. The energy reached the tips of his limbs and dwelled in his bones. His frail frame bloated thoroughly as if energy was being pumped directly into his muscle and blood. He had never felt such vigor in his life.

    ¡°This... Is this the feeling of awakening?¡± Han Wenming looked at his body in disbelief.

    Qin Feng raised his palm and said, ¡°Punched my hand. I would like to test your power.¡±

    Without consciousness, Qin Feng could not judge Han Wenming¡¯s strength based on probing. But he could still distinguish the strength level of a punch or a kick based on physical contact.

    Han Mingwen did not hesitate. He reflexively threw a punch right at Qin Feng¡¯s palm.

    Pow!

    The punch did not stagger Qin Feng even a little. However, the force and speed of the punch could never be generated by a weakmoner.

    Even Qin Feng was baffled by the result.

    ¡°The strength of a G5-tier ancient warrior. If this was tested with the machine, I believe the punch would score around 2800,¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°How is that possible?¡± Wang Cheng and the other gunners were dumbfounded by the revtion.

    Han Mingwen was really just an ordinary man before today.

    After an ordinary person had received the awakening jab, their attack power was usually at most at around 50, which varied from individual to individual.

    If they could boost it to 100 within a month, then they could be a gunner. As for the ancient warrior path, it required a thick meridian and at least 300 attack power. Otherwise, they could only call themselves an apprentice.

    For G-tier certification, the first requirement was that the aptitude user had to reach 500 attack power. F-tier was ten times that number.

    To put things into perspective, Han Mingwen was already halfway to an F-tier after taking only one slice of the meat. It was unbelievable!

 Chapter 820 - Bloodshed across the Prairie

    <h4>Chapter 820: Bloodshed across the Prairie</h4>

    ¡°How do you feel? Can your body take it?¡± Qin Feng asked solemnly.

    Han Mingwen shook his head. ¡°I still have the appetite to eat a cow!¡±

    The energy spurt did not lead to any suffering. Han Mingwen gained the power of an aptitude user almost instantly with no apparent setbacks.

    Qin Feng felt relieved atst. He was once again astounded by the power veiled by this Fettered Land.

    If he could harness this concealed power, the day humans returned to the pinnacle of the food chain might not be long.

    But there was no need to rush. This n could be carried out slowly. Qin Feng was not entirely selfless. Before sharing it with the world, he needed to make sure he and his corporation would get the most benefit from it first.

    ¡°Eat them up. There are still some carcasses outside. Have them processed as well and make sure everyone gets a bite. As for the extra, send them back to the colony through the tunnel!¡±

    ¡°Yes, President!¡±

    Under Qin Feng¡¯s order, Wang Cheng swiftly distributed the tasks.

    The spatial passage was connected straight into a cave, so these people had no idea what the outside world looked like.

    As they exited the cave, the strong bloody smell changed the looks on their faces. The initial excitement had plummeted and turned into wariness. However, other than the carcasses lying around, there was no imminent danger within sight.

    ¡°Haul them in, cleanse the bloodstains, and sprinkle beast repellent around the perimeter!¡±

    ¡°Roger, Captain!¡±

    These men acted quickly. They were clearly still not a coherent group but none of them was cking. With the hard, honest work of one hundred men, the carcasses of all fifty unicorns were stacked in front of the spatial passage in less than ten minutes. They estimated the portion needed and retained only ten bodies. The rest was sent back to Earth.

    The person in charge of theboratory waiting on the other side of the door responded immediately. They took over the experimental materials and processed them on the spot. Half of it was sent to Z¡¯sboratory.

    Inside the cave, Li Yue once again demonstrated his exceptional cooking skills. Everyone else was busy with their respective responsibility too, especially Wang Cheng.

    Wang Cheng took a trip back to Fenghuang colony with several men. He went back to amass the necessities and packed them into spatial rings. He had the rings delivered into Hall Zero and ordered his subordinates to carry them over to the other side.

    These included shovels, metal tes, tanks, cannonballs, charcoals, cooking utensils, and so on.

    Meanwhile, while waiting for the beast to be cooked, several groups received the instruction to construct a temporary base.

    Without the participation of earth ability users, the fortress built by hand might crumble easily if they were to encounter a stampede. But Wang Cheng insisted on setting up one. He intended to establish as many safety measures as possible so that these men had the best chance to survive in this foreign world.

    Qin Feng was deeply pleased with Wang Cheng¡¯s performance. Wang Chen had found the right man for the job.

    ¡°I will leave the rest to you. Be aware of your own safety. I will scout the area further!¡±

    After Qin Feng left, the mood inside the cave became more rxed.

    Qin Feng was the president of Fengli, after all. Among them, only two had met Qin Feng before during the Prodigy Trial held in Fengli City.

    The rest had never met him in person, so they behaved prudishly. With Qin Feng gone, their tensed nerves could finally be loosened a little.

    ¡°Come and eat, the food is ready!¡±

    ¡°Doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s half cooked. These meats must contain an unbelievable amount of energy. Eating the raw ones might have a better effect!¡±

    ¡°Ah, this energy... It¡¯s incredible. Can I really be an aptitude user?¡±

    They were highly enthused

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng began to explore the wild.

    On this prairie, each poption made up arge herd. They gathered closely and hunted other beasts together. Herbivores simr to the unicorns were ample here. He also sighted wolf packs, tigers, and leopards. They might not be gigantic in size but their auras were for sure massive.

    He scouted the area briefly with binocrs and quickly came to a conclusion¡ªThis was not an ideal living ce.

    A small group of jackal beasts, maybe five or six of them, would be enough to eliminate the entire troop of Qin Feng¡¯s future soldiers.

    Qin Feng could not protect these people all the time. As such, the best solution was to bloodbath the whole prairie.

    However, it would be tedious to take out the herds one by one. Qin Feng would make theme to him.

    It would be a piece of cake. All he needed was just some beast lure powder.

    Although Qin Feng was aware that it was a rather brutal n, he had no other feasible option.

    Thus, he returned to the cave and asked Wang Cheng to prepare the powder.

    Learning that Qin Feng was asking for lure instead of repellent, Wang Cheng was baffled. But he was not in the position to question his superior¡¯s motive so he went and got it without saying another word.

    ¡°All of you can return to Fengli first. I will call for you when everything is ready here!¡± said Qing Feng.

    Wang Cheng gave it a thought and objected, ¡°We should stay. At the very least, we can help you carry the carcasses. Don¡¯t worry, we will take good care of ourselves and not be your burden!¡±

    Qin Feng did not reject the request. Wang Cheng and most of them were just civilians. It was better to introduce them to the harsh world sooner thanter.

    Of course, Wang Cheng had sprinkled a thickyer of repelling powder at the entrance of the cave.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, opened the lure beast powder at the edge of a puddle hundreds of meters away from the cave. The scent wafted instantly.

    A few years back when Qin Feng was framed by someone in Sea City, he had used Sea Extract to stimte the sea beasts. Naturally, he was not using the same type of pheromone this time.

    But they should all work the same.

    ¡®Now we wait and see whether the beasts in this dimension would fall for it.¡¯

    They emerged almost instantaneously.

    The hunters on this prairie were the first to approach. These wolves sniffed and looked toward Qin Feng. They were bemused as they did not see the prey they wereing for. They started to run wild. Qin Feng, naturally, became their only target.

    The wolves dashed at him.

    Without surprise, Qin Feng hardly broke a sweat and dealt with them effortlessly.

    Thud! Thud! Thud!

    The sound of frisking was heard approaching not long after the wolves were killed. It belonged to a group of herbivores.

    Qin Feng charged on and left no creature alive.

    Next to the winding waterfall beside the cave, Wang Cheng fired a crossbow and caught a wolf carcass neatly. The arrow pierced into the flesh and was stuck there.

    The end of the arrow was tied to a thick rope.

    ¡°Pull it back!¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    The civilians behind Wang Cheng immediately pulled the carcass back. Then, it was stacked aside and prepared for delivery.

    But their movements were too slow aspared to Qin Feng. When they finally pulled back the eighth body, Qin Feng had done ughtering another herd.

    The smell of blood gradually smeared the prairie. It intensified the lure and triggered more beasts to swarm over in his direction.

    Qin Feng¡¯s massacre began.

    On this prairie, the strongest beast was not even B-tier. Without any concern that would hold him back, Qin Feng was free to kill in thisnd as he pleased.

 Chapter 821 - One Month Later

    <h4>Chapter 821: One Month Later</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s massacrested up to one full month!

    He did not know just how many ultra beasts he had killed, if it did not number around a million, there at least had to be more than a hundred thousand in.

    The once lust and vibrant prairie from the previous month had disappeared, there were not many ultra beasts around but there were still plenty of mutant nts that people could research on.

    Within this month, countless materials were taken away from this Fettered Land by Qin Feng and in just a month¡¯s time the civilians in this team had all broken through into bing E-tier aptitude users, even the one capable gunner had broken through into D-tier.

    Such terrifying promotion would shock people.

    This experiment was undoubtedly a sess!

    Not only that, the second and third teams of the unawakened prospects had even expanded into thirteen teams. A total one thousand three hundred people stepped into the dimension and had established a self-sufficient tribal society here.

    Of course, E-tier and D-tier were the extent of these prairies, so the D-tiers, except for those in the management, left the dimension to officially join the Fengli Organization on the outside.

    The Fengli Organization was getting stronger and stronger as days passed, all of this was being done in secret.

    In one month¡¯s time, the deadline for Qin Feng and Chu Fan¡¯s agreement had arrived!

    In the cave, a group of people had painted the spatial gateway with fresh blood. These people often entered and exited through there, but the opening of the door today had apletely different meaning.

    Within this month, there was only one person who did not leave. That person was Qin Feng.

    By now, he was ready to leave. After all, he did not improve by much while he was in here.

    However, if there were creatures that were B-tier or above that appeared he would naturally return so he could add something that could improve himself.

    As for the unawakened prospect teams, they lost their most powerful warrior but they respected Qin Feng¡¯s choice and did not dare go against it.

    His month-long ughter had only made that bloody aura around his body even more intense!

    As the blood slowly dyed the spatial gateway red, silver light radiated from it and a ck spatial passage opened up.

    In full view of everyone, Qin Feng stepped into the spatial gateway and disappeared into the cave. They kept their eyes on the figure as he moved.

    After a month, he had returned to his original dimension again, at Fengli colony¡¯s Hall 0. A C-tier aptitude user was guarding the ce and when the passage opened up, she thought that someone hade out to gather supplies.

    However, when the figure walked out the aura that oozed from this person¡¯s body was overwhelming and the sight of this figure was enough to make anyone¡¯s mind go nk.

    After a pause for about eight whole seconds, the C-tier aptitude user stood up from her seat and eximed, ¡°Pre-president! You¡¯re back!¡±

    Qin Feng gave the C-tier a nce and nodded. ¡°Mhm! Zheng Qian, your strength has improved by a lot!¡±

    The person who guarded Hall 0 was naturally a trustworthy person. Zheng Qian was also the first C-tier to follow Qin Feng and was entrusted to him after the death of Governor Gao Yukang. Now that almost two years had passed, Zheng Qian¡¯s power had reached up to C5-tier at an astonishing speed, but it was not as good as Qin Feng¡¯s pace.

    ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to you, President. Without the resources you provided, I wouldn¡¯t have improved so much!¡±

    Zheng Qian¡¯s words were sincere. The resources provided by Qin Feng was not something that even A-tiers couldpare to.

    However, everything that Qin Feng distributed were things that he did not have to use. His strength was enough that even just a little bit of it would be enough for someone!

    ¡°Well, keep working hard...¡±

    Qin Feng was going to say more, but at this moment the Verdant Emperor Saber suddenly made a humming sound.

    After it made the sound, the weapon¡¯s aura vibrated as if there were countless souls shaking it, roaring and wanting to fly out.

    The souls sealed in the Soul-Locking Stone, after gaining energy, could be seen by Qin Feng.

    The auraing off from Qin Feng was scary enough, but now the Verdant Emperor Saber burst forth its own terrifying aura. Zheng Qian, a C5-tier aptitude user, was shaken to the core and rapidly backed up ten paces away. Her face was extremely pale with fright.

    Qin Feng furrowed his brows.

    After thinking for a moment, he opened up one of his spatial rune equipment.

    This was the spatial rune equipment with high-level materials that Wang Chen usually collected. It had C-tier beast king materials and above, but there were not many of these ultra beasts present. He only managed to kill up to thirteen in a month¡¯s time. Qin Feng pulled out a ck-scaled C3-tier Scaled Leopard Beast Emperor, cut off some of its scaled armor ting and took out the Magical Tesseract, cing the materials inside it.

    A few secondster, a simple scabbard with no runes on its surface appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s hands. He put the Verdant Emperor Saber into it and the roars and hums of the souls ceased immediately!

    The beasts inside the Fettered Land did not carry any energy signatures with them, but whether it was an ultra beast or a mutant nt, its toughness and strength were very high. The scabbard made from the fusion of these scales would suffice to temporarily seal his weapon¡¯s aura.

    However, he could clearly sense that the inside of the scabbard was beginning to crack. Although this was subtle, the scabbard would onlyst for about ten days before it wouldpletely deteriorate.

    The grade of these materials were too low!

    This would have to do for now.

    Without the Verdant Emperor Saber¡¯s aura, Zheng Qian felt rxed.

    It was no wonder that Wanzhong¡¯s Spatial Chain Rend was considered as a dark technique. Such power, with just a mere whiff of it, would send people into retreat as they break out into cold sweat!

    ¡°It¡¯s alright now!¡±

    ¡°Ah, it¡¯s fine President!¡± Zheng Qian quickly waved her hands. She was only affected by the sword¡¯s aura, she was not injured but in her mind her view of Qin Feng had only improved.

    When he saw that she was fine, he was relieved and then he called Bai Li through his thoughts.

    Almost instantly, a silver light shed around him and Bai Li¡¯s form appeared.

    They had not seen each other for a month and both had missed one another greatly.

    ¡°Yikes, you really don¡¯t know when to give up. You actually stayed in a ce like that for a month! Phew! You stink all over!¡± Bai Li eximed, starting to fuss over him.

    Qin Feng could not help himself fromughing, calling on the water ability to wash away the bloody stench from his body and seemingly refreshed soon after. However, in Zheng Qian¡¯s eyes, Qin Feng still reeked of danger.

    Bai Li seemed to not feel Qin Feng¡¯s pressure, immediately wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning in to sniff him before nodding in satisfaction.

    ¡°Okay, quit messing around. To Chongluo City!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li chirped a reply and waved at Zheng Qian before snapping her fingers and opening up a spatial passage in front of the two!

    The passage directly led to the outskirts of Chongluo City.

    The Fengli Organization airships had already arrived and the Fettered Land had extended outward by a few meters more. They had connected a new stairway and the metal ability users had formed a new passage as well.

    This day was a very important day for the aptitude users who were still alive in Chongluo City!

 Chapter 822 - The Passage is Open Again

    <h4>Chapter 822: The Passage is Open Again</h4>

    After one month, the people who survived until this time were less than one-tenth in Chongluo City.

    Chongluo City was arge city with a poption of one million. Last time, more than one hundred thousand people followed Qin Feng out and left behind nine hundred thousand people. However, it looked like only seventy to eighty thousand people had survived these past cruel intense months from the looks of things.

    The pressure of survival, scarcity of food, the city going into a standstill, the issue with food rations and not starving to death were the biggest problems.

    When people were fighting over the food that remained, they would have to leave their homes and had a chance of getting attacked by ultra beasts or killed by increasing numerous mutant nts.

    Once the rations were gone, the only thing one could do was spontaneously fight ultra beasts. It was life or death inside there.

    Under these circumstances, everyone who survived was not weak.

    The entire Chongluo City had been divided into three forces.

    One of them was Chu Fan acting under Qin Feng¡¯s orders.

    Within a month the Devourer had evolved into a D-tier beast king. Although Qin Feng had reached D-tier, they were definitely no match for a D-tier beast king. They were only normal parallel-trained D-tier ancient warriors.

    That being said, the potential for the Devourer was incredibly strong.

    As a result, Chu Fan, who had mastered the Devourer, gathered a team of five thousand people under him. Under this team, they could protect people and feed them as well. Overall, under Chu Fan¡¯s protection, there were eventually three hundred to four hundred thousand people who followed under hismand.

    In addition to Chu Fan, there was also a team that was led by a woman. This woman was the same one that killed the Tiger King that Qin Feng severely wounded.

    She was actually in her thirties. In aptitude user terms, she was really not that old but for civilians, she had reached the age where she had experienced a lot in her life that made her understand the hardships of life which only made her more vicious.

    After she hid away, she consumed the Tiger King entirely and left no trace behind. In the matter of seven days, the huge tiger ended up in her belly.

    Wang Qin¡¯s height suddenly rose up, her body looked like it had been pinched and stretched. She had lost weight.

    She was now 185cm in height, so she stood out among ordinary women. Due to her having lost weight, she looked young and beautiful but when it came to ordinary men she exuded absolute pressure.

    The people that Wang Qin rescued were all women, the team only had one thousand people and there were no aptitude users among them. They were all civilians and supported by the ultra beasts that Wang Qin hunted down.

    However, these women also had families and friends, so their team got bigger and bigger, gradually forming a team of up to twenty thousand people.

    The third force was the smallest team with only five hundred people, but it was the most powerful.

    It was the only C-tier parallel-trained ancient warrior, Zhang Wu¡¯s team.

    After running away for his life, Zhang Wu did not dare try to follow the Fengli Organization out a month before. He even felt that this world was one where he was all-powerful. He stayed behind and contacted a few former aptitude users. After organizing hunts and robbing resources, he discovered that the meat of the ultra beasts could increase a person¡¯s strength, so he naturally became fiercer and fiercer as he tried to rapidly increase his strength.

    Of course, Zhang Wu was a lustful man, so there were arge number of young and beautiful women in his team which totaled up to two to three thousand people.

    And then, there were teams of a few hundred people about, teams of a few dozen people, all scattered about the decaying, decadent Chongluo City.

    In just one month, nt growth had been rampant. Chongluo City was no longer a concrete jungle, but a city covered by lush vegetation. There were always ultra beastsing into the area, threatening those that tried to survive here.

    The most central location of Chongluo City still had people who regrly cleaned it. The Fengli Organization¡¯s stairway was the only hope they had to escape this ce.

    Especially with the team that Chu Fan had established, people had be more convinced that they would leave.

    And now, the grey sky above their heads started to be pitch ck and a silver light emerged.

    What followed was theunch of signal res so the entire city could see this happening.

    Within a month, the surviving humans had adapted to life here and even more of them dared to stand tall.

    ¡°Goodness me! The Fengli Org- The Fengli Organization is really here again!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, even if we die on the way there, we must reach the central square!¡±

    ¡°If I really do get out, I want to join the Fengli Organization. I don¡¯t care what position they put me in. I¡¯ll be happy to work for them all my life!¡±

    Countless teams made up their minds almost immediately and came out of their hiding spots, oveing obstacles and rushing for the central square.

    Chu Fan¡¯s team stationed at the central square also stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that such happiness woulde so suddenly.

    ¡°Mr. Chu! Shall we...leave?¡± Arge man asked, asionally ncing at the Devourer Chu Fan sat on top of in fear.

    It was different from the ultra beasts in this dimension, it had a huge body and looked like it was developing in the same way the Glutton Leviathan was. Its body had reached the height of six stories tall and was like a massive hill.

    There were no runes here, no abilities, so it naturally could not use size-changing. The Devourer¡¯s size could only get bigger and bigger.

    Chu Fan looked down at the people, each of them were so small to him. They had to raise their heads and shout loudly with anxious expressions and bright eyes. It seemed that even if Chu Fan refused, they would act in secret.

    Of course, he did not refuse.

    ¡°Order everyone to evacuate!¡± Chu Fan answered.

    Those people all cheered excitedly.

    ng! ng!

    In the ck passage, the metal stairway could be seen connected to the top of the original stairway. Some people even entered, holding tools to connect these two stairs together.

    Chu Fan added, ¡°Control the people properly first. Don¡¯t let anyone go up. Wait until the Fengli people are done with thedder and we¡¯ll go together!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Mr. Chu!¡±

    The person below replied loudly then went about to busy himself, but he could not hide his excitement, ¡®Finally, I don¡¯t need to listen to this brat any longer. He still looked out for us in the end, that was unexpected. Forget it, once we¡¯re back in the original world, whether or not he brings that Devourer creature, I¡¯ll stop bothering this kid!¡¯

    Although Chu Fan had saved countless people, sometimes he would feed the bodies of dead humans to the Devourer. In their eyes, they respected and feared Chu Fan, now that they could escape him, they were more than happy.

    At this time, nobody was thinking about staying in this ne. Only Chu Fan, standing on top of the Devourer, had a smirk at the corner of his mouth.

    ¡°Finally rid of these idiots!¡±

    In his line of sight, people had gradually begun to gather. The once quiet Chongluo City was bustling once again!

 Chapter 823 - The Cause of Ruination

    <h4>Chapter 823: The Cause of Ruination</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    After having fought tooth and nail for a month, most of the survivors had obtained the capabilities of aptitude users.

    However, their line of thought definitely was not about staying here and awakening into aptitude users.

    There were only ultra beasts here, nowhere was safe. As time went on, they would definitely end up dead. Instead, why not bring their new identities as aptitude users back into their original world?

    Back in the original world, even though they had the space stabilization device, that kind of protection was only temporary. Now that they had be aptitude users, their lives had changed entirely.

    Then, there were some people, even after a month¡¯s time, who were unable to awaken into aptitude users. For them, being alive was no better than being dead, especially the women that were in Zhang Wu¡¯s group. There was nobody that desired to return to the ordinary world more than them, not only that, there were a good number of aptitude users that were fanatically looking for a chance at revenge against him.

    However, due to Z, Chu Fan wanted to cultivate the Devourer while Zhang Wu felt that this world was his kingdom and wanted to stay, controlling the women under him so that they would not be allowed to leave.

    As such, throughout the city there was a series of shes and skirmishes.

    Chu Fan¡¯s group and Wang Qin¡¯s team quickly gathered. After the Fengli people had finished welding the stairway, they released a blue signal re to indicate that people could start moving and then let these people on one after another.

    The people below could not help but shout in excitement.

    ¡°Finally, I can leave this terrible ce!¡±

    ¡°Move it, hurry up!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t shove!¡±

    The crowd was noisy, nobody formed disciplined groups, just fleeing and running away.

    Fortunately, there were not as many people this time. People were running out from every part of the city, but there was a sequence to it. Already there were people who had arrived at the top and regained a new leash of life.

    Qin Feng was in the airship control room watching through drone surveince footage. People moved like ants, rushing out, wanting to leave the area.

    One person came out, ten thousand, twenty thousand...fifty thousand, sixty thousand!

    As time passed, almost 70% of the people had escaped. The aura of these people could be detected by the consciousness and what he found was surprising.

    Fifty thousand to sixty thousand people were gathered together. Even the weakest among them were G5-tier and the higher ones were C-tier in power.

    This was a powerful force, not only that, these people had no choice but to follow Qin Feng.

    Due to Qin Feng having won his bet against Liu Chong earlier, people were able to escape the ce but Liu Chong would not be able to interfere with the Fengli Organization, nor would he be able to participate in Chongluo City¡¯s affairs.

    Now even if Liu Chong regretted it and wanted to return, he could not!

    Qin Feng looked at these people as if he was watching the future formation of the Fengli Organization.

    He believed that once these people were out, the abandoned Chongluo City would gradually be a ruined Fettered Land!

    At this moment, the ovepped space was surrounded by a silver-grey mist as it violently shook. This shaking was obvious and could be seen with the naked eye. Even if Qin Feng could not hear the sound, the stairway connecting both ends shook and ttered, almost as if it was going to copse.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression suddenly fell.

    ¡°Get out, hurry!¡±

    As soon as he called out, Bai Li and he were already surrounded by silver light and immediately appeared over the ovepped space, near the stairway.

    At this time, those who had already escaped the ovepped space after reaching the top of the stairs were about to step onto the stairs created by metal ability users.

    ¡°Aaaaiee!¡±

    People cried out in terror, some had even fallen.

    Qin Feng unleashed his consciousness and managed to grab the few people who fell. They struggled for a bit but realized that they were no longer falling. At the same time, they breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully looked at Qin Feng who was floating in the air.

    Boom!

    He poured internal force into his hands and pressed them firmly against the side of the stairs.

    Suddenly the stairs stabilized, but the previous quake earlier caused the people in the ovepped space to fall off due to the vibrations. Here, nobody could save them. Amidst the screams, they crashed from a high altitude and became pancakes.

    There was chaos in the ovepped space.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? An earthquake?¡±

    ¡°Is it another beast wave?!¡±

    ¡°Run, what are you waiting for?¡±

    Those people pushed forward with everything they had, trying to escape.

    In the ovepped space, Chu Fan stood up in shock at the same time and looked around.

    Nothing in his surroundings had changed. The vibration seemed to havee out of nowhere, but the Devourer under him made a cry of distress.

    No beast wave was appearing, and even ultra beasts that hunted humans before fled one after another as if they had encountered a natural enemy, running away faster than anyone else.

    At this moment, at the outskirts of the northern zone, several buildings copsed.

    This could be seen more clearly on the outside.

    The Fengli drones quickly moved out and captured a terrifying scene. The Northern city wall had been broken through and had copsed. The earth on the ground looked like it had been turned over, as if there was a creature burrowing in the ground below. From the looks of things, it was a massive beast.

    This terrifying beast was massive in size. It caused destruction wherever it went, causing several buildings to copse.

    It moved full steam ahead, making a beeline for Chu Fan!

    ¡°Dodge!¡±

    Chu Fan ordered and the Devourer bounced up into the air as the ground vibrated again!

    As the Devourer left, the massive beast finally burst out of the ground.

    It was a terrifying creature with barbed scales all over its body, but this kind of beast was not umon in other dimensions.

    It was a Plow Worm!

    An absolutely horrifying sight.

    It was a kind of ultra beast that could attack from underground, emerging to swallow its victims whole and dragging them away without a trace. These beasts were scary enough when they had reached E-tier but when a beast like that were to reach D-tier, one was enough to threaten an entire city.

    Fortunately, this kind of beast did not have the potential to reach any higher than that. It was due to the fact that earthworms in general had very basic genes, being simple creatures and all. Before the Great Rift Age, the earthworm was an insignificant creature, easily killed off with just a mild squeeze.

    Now, this earthworm was terrifying. It was about fifty to sixty meters wide and while the Devourer was about six stories tall, it was only roughly twenty meters wide. The Devourer was arge beast, but the Plow Worm was able to gulp it down in one bite.

    Absolutely horrifying!

    This kind of stature, this kind of power, that could only be applied to A-tier ultra beasts.

    Even when the Plow Worm came all this way, its body was recognizable and could be estimated to be three kilometers long.

 Chapter 824 - Terrifying Beast Emperor

    <h4>Chapter 824: Terrifying Beast Emperor</h4>

    The Devourer jumped away as this Plow Worm reared its head and opened its mouth to bite down toward the direction where the Devourer originally stood. Under the drone¡¯s live broadcast, everyone broke out into cold sweat at this scene.

    The maw of the Plow Worm was like a dark cave. Inside that maw were what looked like dense rows of constantly rotating teeth. Whatever fell into its mouth would get crushed.

    However, the Devourer¡¯s speed was no match for the Plow Worm¡¯s.

    The Devourer jumped away and the Plow Worm was in hot pursuit. As its body squirmed and turned, arge group of buildings copsed to the ground, crushing hundreds of people to death.

    ¡°Noooo!¡±

    Zhang Wu eximed, the building he was in began to tilt but he could not get out in time. The body was sometimes a fragile thing.

    Soon his screams were drowned out by the rubble and nobody would have cared if he was among the dead!

    At the central square, the Devourer was finally caught as the Plow Worm grabbed onto the Devourer¡¯s leg.

    ¡°Skreeeeeaaaagh!¡±

    The Devourer let out a roar of distress. Even with itsrge body struggling with all its strength it could not break free.

    At this time, Chu Fan, who was on the Devourer¡¯s head, decided to let go.

    Arge colorful bird flew up into the sky, soaring over the Devourer at this urgent moment as it was getting eaten by the Plow Worm to pick up Chu Fan with its ws!

    Chu Fan¡¯s wisdom was unparalleled, while he was raising the Devourer, he did not forget to tame other ultra beasts. In a situation where there was no consciousness nor internal force, the sky became an area where nobody could ess. It was an entirely safe ce.

    After so many days, there were never any bird-type ultra beasts that approached Chongluo City but Chu Fan found a parrot that was kept by the wealthy. After feeding it ultra beast meat, he managed to raise it into this current state.

    A scarlet macaw with a three meter wide wing span, and while it was extremely weak inbat, it had no problems flying around with Chu Fan.

    ¡°Squawk! So heavy! So heavy!¡±

    The parrot called out with human speech, extremely loudly as well!

    ¡°Shut up and fly!¡±

    Chu Fan said angrily, his face looked extremely peeved.

    He lost the trump card to take on Z, but it was still possible that he could return to his original dimension!

    The huge parrot pped its wings, soaring into the sky to enter the spatial passage and escaped!

    However, its colorful feathers seemed to have attracted the Plow Worm!

    The huge Plow Worm swallowed the Devourer in one gulp. Even such arge creature would not cause the Plow Worm indigestion, to it the Devourer was nothing more but a snack.

    As it twisted its body, more and more buildings copsed. Amidst the dust filling the air, it leaned its body against the stairway.

    Kerrrack!

    The stairwell was instantly overwhelmed and it became scrap metal.

    Qin Feng, who had been originally stabilizing the stairs could no longer help but to let go.

    However, the Plow Worm slowly reared its head.

    For something that was three thousand meters long, a three-hundred-meter-height was nothing at all!

    ¡°Oh gosh! It¡¯s trying toe out!¡±

    The people on the outside were all surprised. In that instant, they started to scatter.

    ¡°Hurry up and close the spatial passage!¡±

    ¡°What are you waiting for, are you insane? It¡¯sing out!¡±

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s eyes glinted. It even looked like there was excitement in his eyes!

    ¡°Airships fall back as far as you can. Bai Li, send them away!¡± Qin Feng ordered before putting the final nail in the coffin after a pause, ¡°Let ite out!!¡±

    The people who were rescued did not know Qin Feng¡¯s strength. They all looked at him with wide eyes and disbelief, thinking that he was crazy and wanted to jump over to knock sense into him.

    However, they could not. With a wave of her hand, Bai Li sent them all away as a wide silver light appeared.

    In an instant, these five to six thousand people were all sent ten thousand meters away!

    The airships also flew away. In fear of a huge earthquake the moment the Plow Worm reached this dimension, they had to quickly move these people away.

    The Senior Officer that followed the Fengli Organization along this time was Wang Chen.

    This time, he mobilized the Floating City without hesitation.

    The survivors of Chongluo City who were chiding Qin Feng for losing his marbles suddenly felt a shift in their surroundings. The next moment, the sky above their heads turned dark and a huge city emerged from a spatial rift.

    The huge Floating City blotted out the Sun, casting arge shadow.

    Bai Li saw this and waved her hand again, sending the people on the ground onto the Floating City.

    Just as these people left the ground, the Plow Worm had already burst out of the spatial passage.

    The moment the Plow Worm appeared, Qin Feng had already recognized the beast¡¯s aura.

    An A-tier beast emperor!

    It was weaker than Bai Li, but it was still dangerous. It was a terrifying beastparable to the Glutton Leviathan!

    Qin Feng began to channel internal force from his dantian.

    ¡°Dragon w Hook!¡±

    In the beginning, Qin Fneg did not practice much after he figured out the Dragon m move. Heter did a bit of reading after he had returned to the original dimension. With his current strength and practicing B-tier techniques, he was able to master it in an instant.

    With simple moves, he had already made astounding progress.

    His hands were poised like that of Dragon ws as he channeled his internal force. Floating in the air, a pair of Dragon ws that was three hundred meters long began to appear.

    The Plow Worm had raised about a hundred meters of its body, but the three hundred meter Dragon ws emitted a golden glow as it hooked onto the upper half of the Plow Worm¡¯s body.

    ¡°Get out of there!!!¡±

    Qin Feng roared, internal force bursting forth as the golden Dragon ws hoisted up the Plow Worm Emperor!

    At that moment, the A-tier beast emperor¡¯s aura was exposed and spread up to hundreds of kilometers away. All the neighbouring cities started to re their emergency rms. The nearby Floating City had to activate its defensive shields so that the people on board would not get their internal organs damaged by the beast emperor¡¯s roars.

    The survivors saw all of this while on the Floating City from their long distance away, witnessing the three thousand meter long Plow Worm get ripped out of Chongluo City¡¯s ruins in broad daylight. It was a shocking sight!

    Qin Feng abruptly yanked the Plow Worm out and Bai Li followed up with her own move!

    ¡°Spatial Barrier, Cubic sp!¡±

    This was the second time Bai Li unleashed her barrier power. This time, she was A-tier, and being an A1-tier humanoid ultra beast she was already considered as a beast deity.

    In addition to the items inherited from the beast deities, the Chiliad Orb burst out with a never before seen light.

    Then, a massive cube that was a thousand meters wide appeared in the air.

    Qin Feng stopped channeling his internal force, taking the suspended Plow Worm and twisted his body before mming it down toward the massive cube.

    Afterward, the Cubic sp sealed itself and the space within started to fragment. The Plow Worm inside was instantly shed!

    ¡°Skreeeeee!¡±

 Chapter 825 - Systematically Destroyed

    <h4>Chapter 825: Systematically Destroyed</h4>

    The spatial barrier could notpletely block out the earth-shattering roar, the vibrations could be felt up to even a hundred kilometers away.

    As for the Floating City, its energy shields shook violently as people stared at the giant Tesseract in the sky with a mixture of fear and awe.

    Boom!

    The Cubic sp was shattered in an instant. The suspended giant creature fell to the ground in pieces.

    The crowd let out a cheer, that was because this giant beast had been sliced into different pieces!

    This kind of injury would have killed any normal ultra beast, but Plow Worms were different.

    All of its cells could be separated and be an independent creature. Even when they fell to the ground, they could escape in the blink of an eye.

    However, Qin Feng would not let any of these things escape.

    ¡°Fire Wall!¡±

    Qin Feng instantly unleashed a sea of mes. The huge sea of mes stretched on for thousands of meters and turned it crimson.

    The Plow Worm Emperor¡¯s body fell to the ground, but sunk into the magma and let out a pained screech!

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s figure split into a hundred phantoms, all rushing in different directions. His main body was rushing toward one of the parts of the Plow Worm that Bai Li had segmented.

    The body of the Plow Worm was only about one hundred meters away. After being split, it was already growing an opening for a mouth but the aura around it indicated that it had dropped to being a B5-tier beast king. Qin Feng¡¯s hand began to emit darkness.

    Apocalypse Bloom began to form in his hand.

    As it was formed in haste, the Apocalypse Bloom did not spread around too much but it enveloped the Plow Worm¡¯s body in an instant.

    From that moment, the B5-tier beast king¡¯s strength was engulfed by Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability and lost its vitality.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    He mmed a hand against the side of the beast and dark ability surged through it, spreading out like a hungry mouth that tried to swallow its prey whole.

    He felt an iparably powerful energy seep into his body. In an instant, it felt as if his physical strength had soared up by one level!

    After the Absorption Ability broke out, that particr segment of the Plow Worm Emperor¡¯s body was entirely drained by his ability and became a deting sack of skin with barbs on it.

    Qin Feng thought to himself that this time, he had ¡®eaten¡¯ quite a lot in a bite.

    He put the skin into his spatial rune equipment and once again unleashed the Phantom Shift.

    The sliced up Plow Worm Emperor was unable to burrow into the ground due to the Fire Wall that Qin Feng had put up, and could only kill him, the instigator.

    The Plow Worm Emperor still had some astounding attacks, managing to shatter Bai Li¡¯s Spatial Barrier but now that its power had been reduced, it had no way of forcing its way through another barrier!

    As such, it could only fight.

    Qin Feng did not give it the chance to, neither would Bai Li.

    After seeing that a section of the Plow Worm Emperor was about to snatch up Qin Feng, Bai Li activated her spatial ability and split the body into two down the middle.

    Rip!

    The Plow Worm was cut open, its barbed and rock-like outer shell peeling open and revealing its soft white flesh. As it was being baked by the magma, it released a meaty fragrance.

    Of course, the body was no longer alive.

    Now matter how powerful a Plow Worm was, when its body was split apart vertically, it would have been unable to regenerate from that kind of injury.

    Bai Li raised her hand and swept the meat away into her space.

    As they were being systematically destroyed, in the blink of an eye the Plow Worm¡¯s body only had three moving segments left. One was seven hundred meters, another was one thousand meters and another was five hundred meters.

    The others were all wiped out by Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s efforts.

    In the burning magma, the Plow Worm Emperor segments were getting roasted by Qin Feng¡¯s mes each passing moment. They were fighting desperately to kill him.

    The seven hundred meter long one was a B9 tier Plow Worm Emperor plunged into the magma before bursting out, trying to bite onto Qin Feng. However, it only managed to catch one of his phantoms.

    Boom boom boom!

    The only one that managed to still be A-tier that was a thousand meters long rolled forward, trying to crush Qin Feng with its body.

    A fire dragon burst out from under his feet, snatching him out of the Plow Worm¡¯s attack.

    The fire dragon circled around which led to himnding on the third one that was five hundred meters long, a B6-tier beast emperor.

    Due to the magma¡¯s high temperature, the sharp barbs on the Plow Worm¡¯s skin had melted away and be safe to stand on. Even its rocky exterior was starting to soften.

    He grasped the Verdant Emperor Saber¡¯s scabbard while the other hand gripped its handle.

    Wom!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber made a humming sound.

    In the next moment, the weapon that had be a powerful god weapon was unleashed.

    Kraaaauwh!

    Then, there seemed to be the sound of a thousand souls wailing as Qin Feng poured his internal force into the weapon, making the souls swell up before locking on and madly rushing at the ultra beast under his feet.

    ¡°Wanzhong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend, A Thousand Cuts!¡±

    A phantom shrouded with internal force mmed down and instantly tore a hole in the five hundred meter long Plow Worm Emperor¡¯s body.

    ¡°Skree-¡±

    The Plow Worm Emperor getting attacked by Qin Feng suddenly screeched and its body trembled violently, but when magma sshed against its wounds it doubled the damage!

    ¡°Magma Pir, Burst!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand and started to control the Fire Wall. Hundreds of Magma Pirs burst out from the ground and forcibly flipped the Plow Worm over to sink its wounds into the magma and burned them immediately.

    The Plow Worm continued to struggle violently before it eventually lost its life.

    He only felt another powerful force being integrated into his body.

    He could feel his body brimming with energy. Within a month, his continuous hunting and consumption of ultra beasts in the ovepped space were umting in his cells to a certain extent, and now they were all breaking out of their limits.

    Physical power, B6 tier!

    Qin Feng did not intend to just end like that.

    He stepped onto the body of the Plow Worm and activated his Absorption Ability. The flesh turned into a steady stream of energy that flowed into his body, strengthening him.

    This was a joyous feeling.

    Constant improvement every moment.

    In just a few moments, the five-hundred-meter long Plow Worm Emperor hadpletely turned into an empty shell and Qin Feng¡¯s aura swelled again.

    His gaze turned to the two remaining Plow Worms.

    While Plow Worms had low intellect, they understood what danger was and instinctively wanted to burrow into the ground, but that was no longer possible. There were only two ultra beasts left and both of them finally decided to try and flee.

    However, this was the wrong decision.

    Bai Li activated the Chiliad Orb in her hand and activated her spatial runes.

    ¡°Spatial Enchantment, Cubic sp!¡±

    In an instant, the kilometer long Plow Worm was imprisoned inside her tesseract.

    Meanwhile, dark runes were culminating inside Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Apocalypse Bloom!¡±

 Chapter 826 - Continuous Advancement, B7-Tier

    <h4>Chapter 826: Continuous Advancement, B7-Tier</h4>

    The Apocalypse Bloom exploded into a strong dark presence, while the massive ultra beast was instantly drowned.

    Ultra beasts from the Fettering Land did not use their energy, despite their limitless and massive energy sources, they were still wed by their limited growth potential!

    If it were a true beast emperor tier in existence, the Plow Worm Emperor would have definitely equipped itself with powerful earth abilities, fully utilizing its earth wall, striking through magma with its earth spikes. Even Meteorite Fall would be able to crush Qin Feng to death.

    But the Plow Worm Emperor was unaware of its capability!

    In consequence, it was just a preyed-on target.

    Qin Feng had not even used quadruple walls, only Fire Wall was used,bined with the Apocalypse Bloom, it was already enough to restrain his opponent to a deadlock.

    The life-energy stripping ability of the Apocalypse Bloom had drained the massive ultra beast to a poorly deprived state, its cells withered, and it was extremely vulnerable.

    Qin Feng¡¯s shadow split into hundreds and thousands of duplicated shadows. His presence was everywhere, slitting open the beast skin of the Plow Worm Emperor, while other shadow bodies merged with dark energy forcefully pierced into the body of the Plow Worm Emperor.

    The Plow Worm Emperor struggled with all of its energy.

    In the eyes of the outsiders, the magma had stretched up to thousands of meters, while the ultra beast that was trapped by the fire dragon magma was constantly finding ways to escape. The overwhelming energy was sufficient to bring on a total annihtion in one single flinch, if they did not stand on top of the Floating City, they would have been killed by the earthquake aftershock.

    However, that person still continued with the battle under such deterrent force.

    At that moment, every delighted lucky survivor that was turned into aptitude users was silenced, every bit of their joyful moment was stripped away.

    They still had a long way to go, not even close to bepared with ability users. At most, they were only equipped with ancient warrior disposition, while their ability to practice internal strength was still in a different context.

    In essence, regardless of the expanse of theirplicated thoughts, the first that came to mind was their reverence toward Qin Feng¡¯s powerful capability.

    A person that was acknowledged and revered by many!

    Beyond tens of thousands of meters away, the gigantic Plow Worm Emperor hadpletely fallen into the magma, Qin Feng took a step on it, and it was like every dark ability on his body had prated the body of the ultra beast.

    It was a wild and ongoing absorption.

    The body of the beast emperor was approximately eight hundred meters in length, embedded with the unique energy of the Fettering Land, it had allowed Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength to skyrocket continuously.

    At the same moment, from the other side, Bai Li¡¯s Cubic sp gradually routed, releasing every creature from within, all falling simultaneously. All of those were parts from the Plow Worm Emperor that was sliced by Bai Li.

    The slicing was thorough enough topletely transform the capability of the Plow Worm into a beast king. With not more than a hundred meter in length, they still looked like massive creatures, but to Qin Feng and Bai Li, those were scapegoats waiting to be ughtered!

    Crack crack crack crack!

    The Plow Worm ultra beast was sliced into parts of about a hundred meter each. Even without their heads and tails, they were already dropped into the magma and crackled like cooking ingredients that were dumped into a pot of heated oil for frying.

    Several shorter parts of the Plow Worm instantly lost signs of life.

    Qin Feng stepped onto the shell of the eight-hundred-meter-long Plow Worm and lifted his hand to wind up a magma wave.

    The wave then immediately drowned out the remaining bodies of the Plow Worm.

    At that moment, the gigantic formidable beast that was capable of generating unlimited duplicates to pose massive threats had diedpletely.

    Then, a massive amount of energy gushed out from the bottom of the magma.

    Qin Feng¡¯s ck Diamond Starglobe began to spin in wild movements, while its Absorption Ability exploded to its full capacity.

    Upon absorbing from the eight-hundred-meter-long Plow Worm Emperor, Qin Feng¡¯s energy was replenished again, and he hadpleted another transformation.

    B7-tier!

    His physical capability had already achieved B7-tier!

    Despite the short-spanned battle, Qin Feng was able to achieve multiple capability breakthroughs.

    Furthermore, upon theplete death of the Plow Worm Emperor, the remaining soul energy had instantly replenished Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness. However, perhaps it was because of the absence of abilities, the nourishing replenishment had not allowed Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness to achieve B5-tier.

    However, his Verdant Emperor Saber began humming.

    A massive soul was locked onto his Verdant Emperor Saber, while scattered hollow shadows were visible as they were dragged out from the magma. As their numbers umted, they had then formed into a soul energy body that was hundreds of meters in size.

    The energy body spiralled around Qin Feng while its tail connected to his Verdant Emperor Saber on hand.

    It was exactly the spirit of the Plow Worm Emperor!

    Qin Feng stood on the outer skin of the Plow Worm Emperor on the magma as beast spirit shadows appeared on his Verdant Emperor Saber on hand. The dark clouds in the sky were connected by dark abilities.

    His power was like a dictator of the world, marked deeply into the minds of everyone that had witnessed the battle.

    ¡°Revoke!¡±

    mes reversed, dark clouds dispersed, even beast spirit shadows on the Verdant Emperor Saber were sealed up by Qin Feng¡¯s scabbard.

    Everything was back to normal, the sky returned to its pale blue colour, the only difference was the remaining dark grey magma ashes left around the area.

    Qin Feng turned around and looked at the ovepped space, the sky stairway had copsed, and the city had been crushed into ruins.

    The scene was captured into Qin Feng¡¯s memory before his rebirth.

    ¡®Before rebirth, perhaps there was already the presence of such horrifying ultra beasts. In Chongluo City, there would not be more than ten thousand survivors!¡¯

    Qin Feng was deeply affected and did not continue with his actions.

    Simr to Qin Feng¡¯s assumptions, when Chongluo City had entered into the ovepped space, countless numbers of rescuers had attempted to save the city. However, they were not equipped with Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability and were unable to open up the ovepped space. They were even unaware that it was a Fettering Land inside.

    Hence, their hopes were not immediately crushed upon. Research continued for another two months, until the appearance of a gigantic Plow Worm Emperor thatpletely crushed the entire Chongluo City into ruins. They witnessed the entire scene themselves and finally abandoned the rescue attempt.

    Regardless of the number of survivors, they were intimidated by the presence of a beast deity that seemed to be at least beast emperor tier. They were afraid to explore further or to release such a horrifying creature, an ultra beast that might annihte them in the end.

    After Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, history had been changed. Bai Li¡¯s activation of the spatial passage had caused the reversed flow of energy from their region into the Fettering Land. It had then attracted the Plow Worm Emperor to descend one month earlier than expected.

    Undoubtedly, Qin Feng had saved at least twenty thousand people in total. The number of rescued survivors was absolutely iparable to the entire Chongluo City that was demolished before his rebirth.

    He had tried all he could, and he felt no qualms at all.

    The battle had ended. Qin Feng stepped onto the Floating City, there were about fifty to sixty thousand aptitude users looking at Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng looked at them and warned, ¡°Chongluo City has been demolished, the Fengli Organization will take charge of the arrangements for all of you, no refusals epted!¡±

    Of course, at that moment, nobody would refuse.

 Chapter 827 - Recruiting Chu Fan

    <h4>Chapter 827: Recruiting Chu Fan</h4>

    Even Chu Fan did not rebut Qin Feng¡¯smand.

    Of course, Chu Fan was easily identifiable with his apanying colourful parrot that was about three meters in size, and Qin Feng was able to locate the extremely intelligent child at one nce.

    Chu Fan was also looking at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng signalled with a hand gesture. Chu Fan noticed that and he slinked through the crowd, walking toward Qin Feng¡¯s direction.

    The Floating City was filled with buildings, but all of the survivors were not allowed to enter . They could only stand at the central square. Only after their return to Fengli City, would they be sent to their new colony, and only those who were allowed to would stay.

    Standing among the buildings within the Floating City, Qin Feng looked at Chu Fan who looked like a young adult and asked, ¡°What is your n now, do you still want to return to the Fettering Land?¡±

    ¡°Why would I go back? The Devourer is already dead, I am now alone, even if I am able to grow, there is no way for me to go against Z!¡±

    Chu Fan was being frank, while Qin Feng also had his own ns.

    ¡°Indeed, just you alone would not be enough to resist against Z. However, you have lost the Devourer, which is equivalent to your support, and what we agreed upon is now void. Now that I consider myself as your saviour, why not follow me and work for me?¡±

    Chu Fan closed his eyes, since he was trapped by the corporation under Z, he was already awfully disgusted by the governance of such leaders from the top. However, a wise person would often adapt to the situation, despite his outstanding intelligence, Chu Fan was alsopletely amazed by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was already so powerful, and from Chu Fan¡¯s understanding, Z was most probably even more powerful. Hence, even if the Devourer were to transform into a beast deity, he still might not be able to go against Z by himself!

    With that in mind, Chu Fan had a n for himself.

    ¡°General Qin, were you the one who supplied the flesh of the Leviathan to Z? Handover the remaining to me, and I will agree to your offer!¡± Chu Fan proposed.

    Qin Feng was surprised as he looked at Chu Fan. ¡°Are you still nning to cultivate the Devourer?¡±

    The Devourer¡¯s appearance and shape were slightly simr to the Leviathan, and one could easily imagine the originating owner of its cells.

    ¡°Of course, I need to admit, perhaps I will not be able to cultivate an S-tier beast deity devourer, but isn¡¯t it better to cultivate several more A-tiers? At least, I would need to have some backup ns.¡±

    ¡°I agree!¡± Qin Feng agreed, and the deal was nowpleted.

    Although all of those were just verbal agreements, there was nothing else better to constrain the world¡¯s aptitude users.

    ¡°Later, you will join the Fengli Organization¡¯sboratory, and you will be allowed to monitor Z¡¯sboratory progress and developments at any time. I do hope that you will provide me with a clear direction and proposal!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    Of course, theboratory was not set up at Fenghuang colony, but at the underground of Fengli City, and the scale was much bigger.

    The Fenghuang colony was dedicated to tackle the Fettering Land, and at the same time, it was also a disguise to control Z¡¯s movements.

    Fengli City¡¯sboratory definitely had the same facilities as the Fenghuang colony¡¯s, and even many more that the colony might not have!

    Chu Fan nodded in agreement, but still had concerns in mind.

    ¡°When I came out, I was seen by many, if people from the Z Organization were to find me, what should I do?¡± Chu Fan asked.

    For all those years that he had been in the Z Organization, he had held quite a significant position. Of course, it was not too high up.

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°How many times have you met Z, do you know him well?¡±

    Chu Fan was shocked and puzzled as he looked at Qin Feng, not knowing why he would ask such a question.

    ¡°I have only met him thrice, he was constantly performing experiments so I know nothing much about him!¡±

    Hence, Chu Fan did not know how powerful Z was.

    ¡°Z is a powerful person, one that is widely recognized within the entire region, but he is a mad scientist, as he is not threatened by anyone. He is fearless, and he is only into research, even if he is aware that some others want him dead, he would still ignore them.¡±

    It was why Z had looked for Qin Feng multiple times. Z did not care, or rather his character was different from the others.

    When Eye Devil wanted to kill Qin Feng just because he had killed several A-tiers, Z helped Qin Feng to stop him. Z did that even though Qin Feng had annihted his organization, and had treated him with huge disrespect. It was apparent that Z did as he pleased.

    ¡°Hence, even if he knows you are out here, or even if you want to kill him badly, he will not care. Even if he knows that I kept you here, he would still not take action!¡±

    Chu Fan was puzzled, followed by a sense of humiliation and anger. ¡°It is because he despises me!¡±

    Then, would that also mean Qin Feng was being despised?

    Qin Feng sneered coldly and answered, ¡°Then, you have to grow stronger, else, the others would not even care about your presence!¡±

    The statement had obviously fuelled Chu Fan¡¯s anger even more, but he kept it to himself, and did not express the irrational anger toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Understood, I will put in all my effort!¡±

    As both of them spoke, the Floating City had already arrived in Fengli City. Someone came to coordinate the arrangements and even Chu Fan was led to theboratory.

    The incident at the Fettering Land hade to an end, there was no need to be there for the moment, and Qin Feng had alreadypletely given up on the rescue. mission. Before he left, he had instructed Bai Li to open up the spatial passage to dump in some resource boxes, and had even left some guidance. If there were any survivors who were capable enough to walk out from the forest, they would definitely be able to arrive at the Fengli Organization¡¯s unawakened prospects¡¯ camp, and they would be able to leave.

    From the one-month prolonged duration within the Fettering Land,bined with the final major battle, Qin Feng¡¯s physical capabilities had improved and his consciousness was replenished, but it was also definitely taxing on his mental state.

    Qin Feng nned to get himself a good rest for several days.

    However, as he had returned to Fengli City, he definitely had to take care of some administration tasks. Early the next day, he was already at the governor¡¯s office.

    Email chains were sorted and reported back to him.

    ¡°Battlegod Tomb ntation Report¡±

    ¡°Fettering Land Exploration Discovery¡±

    ¡°Cinderst Region High Tier Cinder Pine Location Report¡±

    ¡°Fengli Organization¡¯s Previous Quarter Report and Future Development n¡±

    ¡°Experiment Laboratory New Research and Bold Assumption¡±

    ¡°Fengli City and Surrounding Construction Details¡±

    Each of those represented resources that were controlled by Qin Feng.

    The organization established by Qin Feng had experienced drastic changes.

    Qin Feng nced through the crucial information, took care of some documents, and flipped through some less important items; a document then caught Qin Feng¡¯s attention.

    ¡°Hero ss Selection Projected Name List, Submitted: Deng Nian!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at the report and unintentionally eximed, ¡°And another year has passed!¡±

    It wasst year when Deng Nian begged Lu Meng to be the substitute for Chengbei colony to take part in the Prodigy Tournament. This year, Deng Nian had already be one of the schrs in Fengli City¡¯s highest academy, and it was he who had prepared the hero ss selection projected name list. He was even the one who had organized the trial selection tournament.

 Chapter 828 - You Still Wish to Participate?

    <h4>Chapter 828: You Still Wish to Participate?</h4>

    For the past year, Qin Feng¡¯s capability had spiked tremendously. From the resource umtion process, the Fengli Organization had also grown to a state that was admired by many.

    As Qin Feng was the governor of the North Sea State, the situation had gradually changed. Along with the liberalization of the Cinderst Dimension, the newly-established Cinderst City had also be the fifth city of the North Sea State.

    Also because of the buried Glittering Gold Sand within Fengli City, the probability of awakened citizens within the city had spiked, and awakened aptitude users had experienced tremendous spikes in their capabilities.

    All sorts of talents had surged in the past year. Those ten people who were listed on the projected name list were none other than insiders from within the Fengli Organization, second generation of Fengli Organization¡¯s subordinates, and close rtives.

    They were led by Zhou Hao who had achieved D9-tier with his capability, even aptitude users from Dragon Capital would not have such an achievement.

    The remaining members were at least at D1-tier. Young and capable talents were found on the list. Even if they were to bepared against the list from North Sea State, or every participant below twenty years old from the entire Northern Region, perhaps they would still remain untouchable.

    However, those who had been rescued from Chongluo City got a little lucky. They had consumed high grade ultra beast flesh that sped up their advancement to be powerful aptitude users. Although they were not equipped with appropriate battle skills, it would still be possible for them to strive for unexpected sess with their strong and powerful physical capabilities.

    Hence, the uing Prodigy Tournament was still highly anticipated.

    It was at that moment, Qin Feng was alerted by hismunicator. He saw the caller¡¯s number and was not surprised at all!

    It was Shang Han!

    ¡°Regent!¡± Qin Feng connected hismunicator. Shang Han was facing him while seated in her office, the projected hologram fully depicted her august prestige.

    However, when looking at Qin Feng¡¯s background, Shang Han was a little surprised.

    She had known Qin Feng for a long time, and it was her first-time seeing Qin Feng being in such a ce, an office. Even Qin Feng had begun to work in an office?

    She knew Qin Feng as a person who would constantly be all over the ce, or staying at home to rest!

    Of course, Shang Han did not tease Qin Feng about that, and she directly went ahead and said, ¡°Qin Feng, about your rescue in Chongluo City, due to some reason, I decided to give up, but I did not expect you to carry on with it. Those that you have rescued initially are tied to your bet against Liu Chong, therefore I will not reward you for it as a Huaxia Alliance mission, but this time...frankly speaking, I did not expect that!¡±

    The report was only handed over to Shang Han yesterday, fifty to sixty thousand people had been saved, and an A-tier beast emperor ultra beast was killed. It was indeed a jaw-dropping deed.

    Would it not take more than a hundred A-tier aptitude users or an S-tier to take down an A-tier beast emperor?

    How much had Qin Feng¡¯s capability grown?

    Shang Han used to assign missions to Qin Feng without any hesitation. Now that she felt the pressure of Qin Feng¡¯s presence, it took a longer time for her to consider, and she had be afraid of casually assigning missions.

    Hence, she approached without any mission or assignment, and she just wanted to talk to Qin Feng about Chongluo City.

    ¡°I had to finish what I started, to me, those were not too difficult to handle!¡± Qin Feng gave a casual answer.

    ¡°Anyways, representing the Northern Region, I should still award you for your help, but I am still responsible for the cancelled rescue operation at Chongluo City. If those rescued survivors find out about this, perhaps they would me us for being cruel. Therefore, I personally would like to offer somepensation!¡±

    Shang Han sent across a copy of information to Qin Feng. Within it, there was a fifty trillion reward directly offered to Qin Feng.

    It was the same amount of reward that was given to Qin Feng when he had killed The Leviathan. Knowing it was the overlord of the Abyssal Ocean, the newly appeared Plow Worm Emperor would definitely not fetch the same reward value. Hence, it was Shang Han who had secured that for Qin Feng.

    Apart from the reward, there were also all sorts of military aplishments that would suffice for him to exchange with some B-tier equivalent God Armaments.

    Then, Shang Han gave out another ten trillion of funding,prising two trillion of appeasement cost and eight trillion worth of all sorts of materials ranging from G to D-tier. The massive amount would already suffice to establish an adequately capable city.

    When allocating the appeasement cost to all two hundred thousand people that Qin Feng had saved, each of them would bepensated with ten million each. However, the amount was not meant to be distributed directly, but to be passed on to Fengli City of North Sea State, or to be contributed to support the Fengli Organization in taking care of all two hundred thousand of them. The appearance of aptitude users in the future would also require support from it!

    Hence, it was the most lucrative part of being a duke of a city, or a governor of a state!

    However, to any ordinary duke or governor, it would definitely be a huge fortune, but they were definitely unable to obtain such a high amount of reward. After all, five billion was meant to be allocated to Qin Feng for killing the A-tier beast deity!

    ¡°Hmm, thank you Regent, for the reward, before I forget, I do have something to tell you!¡±

    ¡°Please!¡±

    ¡°Regent, can you please secure a spot for me to participate in the Prodigy Tournament?!¡±

    Qin Feng considered his own participation as he would definitely be undefeatable, but the pre-selection would already require a month. Even if he were to upy a slot, nobody in the North Sea State would argue on that; as there were only ten slots avable for the entire Northern Region, it would definitely be too unfair for Qin Feng to upy one slot for himself!

    ¡°You, you still want to participate in the Prodigy Tournament?¡± Shang Han was shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s request, why would he still care about the title of a hero ss, his position was absolutely above that!

    Qin Feng¡¯s aim for the hero ss title was essentially like a fight among the children, but Qin Feng...

    ¡°Ah, I have forgotten, this year, you are still under twenty years old!¡± Shang Han immediately recalled and realized, but at the same time, it was a rueful moment.

    Indeed, Qin Feng was way too young.

    ¡°Hmm, but if I am participating, I prefer not to be followed by unmanned drones to broadcast me on videos!¡± Qin Feng requested.

    ¡°Haha, if you are allowed to take part, why would you still go through the Tower of Dragon Gate? You should just go to the top of the tower, I willmunicate with the others on this, there shouldn¡¯t be any disagreement on this!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I will need to trouble you on that, Regent!¡±

    ¡°Just a small matter!¡±

    Both of them then moved on with the discussion. Shang Han did not have any mission assignment as Qin Feng would be required to go to the Dragon Capital in November. In other words, he would be on a holiday for the next several months, without any missions for him.

    Qin Feng had been extremely busy for the past year, Shang Han also felt that it was too much of a rush for Qin Feng. The main reason was regarding her concern earlier, Qin Feng had be too powerful, surpassing her and her position as a regent. It would be awkward if he were to decline any mission assignment. Even if it was not declined, there was no longer a lucrative mission assignment avable for Qin Feng.

    Hence, it was a right choice!

    However, although there were no mission assignments from Shang Han, Qin Feng did not let himself loose either.

    ¡°At this moment, that ce, it should have appeared!¡± Qin Feng pondered as he caressed the Verdant Emperor Saber on hand, while radiance reflected from his eyes!

 Chapter 829 - The Styx

    <h4>Chapter 829: The Styx</h4>

    North African Republic Alliance. This was a massive organization that was formed by several dozens of African ns in North Africa. The region there was rathercking in resources due to it being mostly desert.

    The only source of water they had was just a river; and this river was the reason many people and ns in this region had been warring against one another. There were always hundreds of people dying near the river every single day due to the infighting for water resources.

    Due to the high fatal rate around the location, the locals had a name for this river¡ªthe Styx.

    The Styx was about six thousand kilometers in length and remained as the longest river that existed on the.

    Many cities of different factions were built congregated along the river. And to be able to build a city along the river, one must be an ability user who was at least B-tier and above.

    Thus, unlike how the Huaxia Alliance spread out their cities and colonies, the cities here in North Africa tend to link to one another along the river like a long line. Not only that, each city was not huge in size¡ªthey were only as huge as the Chengbei colony.

    Nheless, it was still a sight to behold when one looked at these cities from the sky.

    The nightly sky was slowly brightened by thezy, morning sun. The cities, upon seeing the first sunlight, started to wake up from its slumber. Several people who were assigned to carry water into the cities picked up their equipment and walked toward the Styx.

    Suddenly, the air started to condense around them before everything they saw before them became distorted! In just a matter of seconds, the first few sections of the Styx sumbed to dimensional contortion.

    A huge dimensional rift then opened up above the Styx, swallowing half of the river.

    To add more, there were also countless smaller dimensional cracks that had opened up about hundreds of kilometers along the river.

    The civilians who were there to carry water cried out in fear.

    ¡°Cracks! It¡¯s the cracks!¡±

    ¡°Demons! It¡¯s the demons! The demons areing!¡±

    ¡°Oh no...! Is this another start of an apocalypse?¡±

    Their surrounding areas distorted and shifted as they were wailing in despair. The hills, roads, and the river seemed to be gripped and hurled into a grinder. Everything they saw had changed into a view of a nightmare.

    Meanwhile, the rm systems in the cities roared out loudly.

    Now, there was nothing but chaos in the Styx.

    ¡°Quick! We need to stabilize the dimension and space there!¡±

    ¡°Get the space stabilizer to the scene right now!¡±

    ¡°Look! What is that?! Is that blood?!¡±

    ¡°Oh my God!¡±

    The people in the cities widened their eyes as they witnessed what was going on via the drones¡¯ cameras.

    They saw blooding out of several, massive dimensional cracks.

    A momentter, they saw countless corpses falling out of the dimensional cracks and into the Styx.

    A few momentster, the Styx waspletely dyed red.

    And the dimensional cracks were still spewing out corpses¡ªcorpses that were dismembered and crushed to pieces.

    Human corpses.

    Other humanoid species corpses.

    Ultra beasts corpses.

    There were corpses everywhere they looked.

    A water ability user used his abilities to rock the waters in the Styx to bring up one of the human corpses to the shore.

    A brief examination on the corpse revealed that it had a finely crafted rune equipment on it. More importantly, these were spatial rune equipment.

    The water ability user quickly brought this corpse out of the water and took off all the equipment from it. His face was filled with joy when he saw the master-craft spatial ring equipment.

    This thing must have carried a lot of goodies in its pocket dimension!

    Upon seeing this, the others too started to n to get the most out of this phenomenon. They did not seem to care about whatever disaster that had happened or was about to happen. So long as they could get something out of this and then get away before anything bad happened, they did not care at all.

    Some ignorant, superstitious civilians knelt down and prayed feverishly to the sky, hoping that this was not going to be another cmity that would end the world again.

    Then, more and more blood and corpses appeared in the Styx.

    Things started to take a huge, interesting turn.

    ¡°My God! This corpse... he¡¯s wearing a God Armor, I think?¡±

    ¡°This ultra beast corpse... it¡¯s a beast king¡¯s corpse!¡±

    ¡°This creature... I think it¡¯s an S-tier!¡±

    More and more insanely powerful ultra beast corpses started to emerge on the river¡¯s surface.

    More and more human corpses that carried invaluable rune equipment appeared in the water.

    Seeing all these, greed started to ovee these people.

    Especially when words about the S-tier ultra beast corpses appearing in the Styx got out to the cities and to the world, more and more people started eyeing the Styx.

    They did not know if this phenomenon would keep going on. Or it would just stop happening after a day or two.

    If this phenomenon was a permanent thing, then the Styx had now be a priceless, treasure-hunting ground.

    Therefore, countless people started to make their way to the Styx.

    ***

    Above the source of the Styx river, a ck dimensional crack emerged.

    In these two days, there were numerous dimensional cracks like this one appearing and disappearing.

    Yet, this one was rather huge. It was a rare sight to see a crack emerging and bing sorge. Several ability users raised their heads, staring at the dimensional crack with excitement.

    However, it did not take long before they realized that this was not a dimensional crack¡ªit was actually a spatial tunnel.

    A huge aircraft that was about hundreds of meters in length flew out of the spatial tunnel.

    Many recognized from the ornaments that were decorated on the side of the airship that this was a vessel from the Huaxia Alliance. On the exterior shell of the airship, there were tworge Chinese words printed on it¡ª¡±Feng Li¡±. This was an aircraft belonging to the Fengli Organization!

    Standing inmand, Qin Feng looked at the Styx with passion burning wildly in his eyes.

    ¡°The Styx Battlefield!¡±

    This battlefield was not just a short skirmish that happened for a day or two. In fact, ording to what he remembered, this battlested for seven whopping years! And Qin Feng did not even know if this would ever end in the distant future too.

    Still, the fact remained that the Styx Battlefield was not a ce for the faint of heart. Only A-tiers were allowed here. And even these A-tiers needed to be extra vignt here too because there were rumors of S-tiers¡¯ appearance on the battlefield.

    Before being reborn, Qin Feng first made his name here.

    Now, he would be the one who takes the first bite!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Hearing Qin Feng¡¯smand, the aircraft flew into the massive dimensional crack in the sky. The people who were staring at Qin Feng¡¯s airship werepletely stunned when they saw this¡ªthey did not think that an airship could enter the crack at all.

    Still, upon seeing this, they quickly realized...

    ¡°If these blood and corpses came from the other side of the crack... could there be even more goodies on the other side?¡±

    Then, they started to get excited again.

    Qin Feng¡¯s action had caused a ripple of butterfly effects¡ªones that could change a great deal of things in the future.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft had ventured through the dimensional crack and entered the realm on the other side.

    This realm was called ¡°Blood River Realm¡±.

    ¡°Bai Li, stabilize the space around us. I¡¯ll shift the aircraft into stealth mode!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li replied in agreement.

    A few short moments after they had left the dimensional crack, they saw another one-meter-size dimensional crack ahead of them. If they kept on going forward, they would definitely crash into it.

    More importantly, the aircraft¡¯s tail had notpletely gotten through and into this realm yet. There was no means for them to do any maneuver in the sky to evade the crack ahead.

    However, as soon as the aircraft sounded the rm, the dimensional crack ahead seemed to have disappeared.

    The aircraft kept on moving onward. Then, a huge, crimson, bloodiednd appeared before them. The wholend seemed to have been dyed by the blood of humans and ultra beasts as their corpsesy lifelessly everywhere they looked.

    Qin Feng could feel a familiar presence.

    He could also feel that these corpses were still brimming with lingering life forces and energy ¡ªthe first battle on this side of the realm only happened very recently.

    Thus, he quickly activated his Absorption Ability.

 Chapter 830 - The Blood River Realm

    <h4>Chapter 830: The Blood River Realm</h4>

    This was practically heaven for Qin Feng.

    As soon as they got into the Blood River Realm, Qin Feng¡¯s body was now continuously fueled with the energies left by the dead in the area.

    ¡°Send a hover-ride down there. Remember! If you see any living creature, keep your distance and only engage in long-rangebat! Also, please wear your protective gears!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±

    Although these people did not understand why their President asked them to be this vignt, they still heeded to his order.

    And it was quite understandable for Qin Feng to be this careful too. He was one of the first to get the news about the appearance of the S-tier ultra beast corpses. Thus, despite how strong he was, Qin Feng decided to exercise caution.

    These people were also the best fighters that he could find too¡ªthey were B-tiers Jiang Haolin, Ning Xin, Long Tao and Zhou Ce had defected to him from the Fettering Land. Not only that, Qin Feng had also brought Jin Hao¡ªthe future ¡°King of Guns¡± with him too.

    Other than these five B-tiers, Qin Feng also brought a hundred of C-tiers with him. Still, in Qin Feng¡¯s opinion, they were as feeble as children in this realm. Despite that, the aircraft still needed deckhands, gunners and scouts. As such, Qin Feng still had to employ their services.

    A few minutester, about thirty hovercrafts flew down from the aircraft. These hovercrafts were all modified and remodeled. Each one of them were equipped with rune equipment.

    The people who rode on the hovercrafts were all ability users and gunners. When they got close to the ground, they quickly used their consciousness to order the hovercrafts¡¯ rune equipment to grab the corpses of the ultra beasts.

    The hovercrafts then flew around wildly, carrying the ultra beasts¡¯ corpses to the sky like vultures and throwing them into the pocket dimensions that their rune equipment had formed in the sky.

    In a matter of minutes, the hovercrafts had finished their job andpletely filled up their pocket dimensions to the brim with the ultra beast corpses.

    As for the human corpses, the hovercrafts carried them up too and put them into another specially made device before moving them to the aircraft.

    The members of the Fengli Organization were overjoyed as they watched this from the aircraft. This was like picking up free money from the ground. And there was plenty of free money everywhere they looked.

    Half an hourter, things turned downhill for Qin Feng and hispanions.

    Three huge aircraft had flown through the dimensional crack from behind, with fiftybat hover copters tailing behind them.

    They outnumbered Fengli¡¯s men by a lot.

    Still, the Fengli Organization¡¯s aircraft and hovercrafts were employing technology that was at least a decade ahead of these people¡¯s aircrafts.

    In themand, Jin Hao saw the logo on the oing aircrafts and said, ¡°Sir, it¡¯s the Altaar Corporation! They are one of thergest factions in the North African Republic Alliance. It seems that they have also brought Cleaves, an A-tier with them.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded.

    Of course, he knew who Cleaves was.

    This man was the future S-tier that reigned the Blood River Realm. Right now, Cleaves was still no pushover¡ªhe was a capable leader who could lead even other A-tiers in North Africa.

    Some men were meant to be leaders or monarchs from birth. No matter what path they took, there would always be people who were willing to bow before them. And there were also many that were born with the contentment of allowing others to lead them.

    ¡°Good. Ignore them. Focus on your tasks.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±

    Thus, the Fengli Organization kept on going forward and exploring. Wherever they went, the dimensional cracks that appeared around them werepletely wiped out. At the same time, some dimensional cracks kept emerging behind them as they moved forward. This meant that even if the Altaar Corporation wanted to give chase, they could never get to the Fengli Organization.

    On this side of the dimensional crack, the people on the Altaar Corporation¡¯s airships saw that there was a huge river here too¡ªa river that waspletely drenched by blood. However, most of the corpses had already been collected by the Fengli Organization¡¯s hovercrafts earlier. Even though there were still plenty of corpses showing and floating up from the river, these were not enough to satisfy their greed.

    ¡°Sh*t! We¡¯rete!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! All the goodies have beenpletely taken by those people!¡±

    ¡°Just who are those people?!¡±

    ¡°I think I saw Chinese words on their airship just now! They¡¯re from the Huaxia Alliance!¡±

    As soon as they heard the name ¡°Huaxia Alliance¡±, a conflicted look spread across their faces.

    The Huaxia Alliance was known as one of thergest alliances on the.

    Still, Cleaves¡ªthe boss of the Altaar Corporation, the fabled ¡°Son of the Sun¡± smirked, ¡°Ah, it¡¯s the smell of dark energies. How aggravating.¡±

    Qin Feng wanted to avoid the attention of the powerful creatures that resided in the Blood River Realm; so, he had covered his aircraft in dark runes.

    Cleaves was a light ability user. As such, he was able to detect Qin Feng¡¯s presence the instant they entered the Blood River Realm. Not only that, he could tell that the strongest person on Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft was just a B-tier.

    As such, he felt that he had the upper hand.

    Eyeing on Fengli¡¯s aircraft and hovercrafts on the screen, Cleaves licked his lips and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. Let them take as much as they want. This would save us a lot of energy. We¡¯ll wait until they collect everything first... and then... hehehe...¡±

    Cleaves¡¯s underlings immediately understood what their boss was nning.

    It was quite obvious that Cleaves was nning to rob the Fengli Organization. And he hadplete confidence that he could rob them clean!

    Cleaves¡¯s underlings then started to nod in agreement. Some of them even made fun of the Fengli Organization.

    ¡°Look. Their aircraft looks so pretty. Just what is that design?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Bro. It¡¯ll be ours soon enough.¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha! You¡¯re right! Let them work their asses off like bees first. We¡¯ll reap the benefitster!¡±

    These people seemed to think that they already had it in their bags.

    However, Cleaves did not intend to let his menze around doing nothing, ¡°These people have only gotten everything that floated onto the river¡¯s surface. There might be more stuff submerged underwater. Send down the water vessels. We still have some work to do.¡±

    ¡°Boss, I have a water vessel here!¡±

    ¡°I have one here too!¡±

    It was quitemon for people who lived near the Styx to own a few ships, boats and water vessels.

    A few momentster, their hover copters got close to the water and tossed down several boats and water vessels. Then, several metal ability users used their abilities to form massive metals to salvage anything they could from underneath the river.

    They were able to get a good haul out of it.

    ¡°Look! It¡¯s a beast king! A B-tier beast king!¡±

    ¡°Oh, good loot!¡±

    ¡°There are plenty of human corpses too!¡±

    They quickly brought up the corpses excitedly to take off the human corpses¡¯ rune equipment before tossing them into the river again.

    Meanwhile, Jin Hao showed a glint of regret. ¡°If I knew this earlier, I would have brought the Leviathan.¡±

    After all, if one wanted to conquer anything that was water-rted, no one could match the Leviathan.

    Qin Feng smirked. ¡°Bring Leviathan? For what? To submerge to your death?¡±

    Jin Hao looked at Qin Feng in confusion.

    However, before he was able to understand what his boss meant, Jin Hao heard an excruciating cry from afar.

    ¡°Arghhh...!!!!!¡±

 Chapter 831 - You Should be the One Who Gets Lost First

    <h4>Chapter 831: You Should be the One Who Gets Lost First</h4>

    Hearing these cries, Jin Hao quickly looked at the screen. Then, everyone was surprised by what they saw.

    On the massive boat from afar, the ability users were aguishly hugging their own heads. Their faces were contorted and bleeding in pain. One of them threw up blood and dove straight into the river.

    Some people were frantically hitting something on the deck. The corpses that they had salvaged from the river seemed to have turned into frightening creatures. One of these creatures even grew out several ten-centimeter long tentacles from the corpse¡¯s appendices before striking at a man nearby. The tentacles then extended and waggled into the man¡¯s mouth. A momentter, the many on the floor, wriggling his body in agony as arge amount of blood bled out of his body.

    Jin Hao stared at the screen in shock.

    ¡°What... What¡¯s going on?!¡±

    The others widened their eyes when they saw what was happening on the screen.

    They recognized these tentacle creatures.

    ¡°Those are Ichortoids!¡±

    The Ichortoids were low-tier insectoids. Most of the insect-like ultra beasts were, at most, G-tier. These revolting creatures tend to lurk in areas whererge amounts of blood and corpsesy around¡ªespecially when these corpses and blood were brimming with highly condensed energy.

    Ichortoids were weak against fire. To add more, without blood, these creatures would be dead in a rather short time. Their attacks were weak and pathetic; but they were deadly to awaken humans and G-tier ability users.

    Thus, the people from the realm Qin Feng came from did not pay much attention to these insects. The Ichortoids that they knew were at most about thirty centimeters long.

    However, the Ichortoids that appeared in front of them... these things were rather different than the Ichortoids that they knew.

    ¡°These are mutated Ichortoids. They are almost as powerful as C-tiers! But... but it¡¯s really weird. Our scanners did not detect them at all earlier!¡± Jin Hao¡¯s fingers danced feverishly on the keyboard as he scanned whatever that was happening on the Altaar Corporation¡¯s airships. He double-checked his monitors and scanners; but it seemed that they were not malfunctioning.

    ¡°These Ichortoids tend to use blood as their cover. It¡¯s understandable if you did not detect them earlier.¡± Qin Feng exined, ¡°This is why I¡¯m asking you all to never take off your protective gears.¡±

    Recalling Qin Feng¡¯s orders earlier, Jin Hao finally understood why his President was so cautious in this operation. He felt a chill down his spine after giving it some thought. If they were as careless as the Altaar Corporation, they would have also met with the same gruesome fate too.

    These were C-tier mutated Ichortoids! With just a few drops of blood, they could invade their bodies with little to no problem. The protective gears that Qin Feng gave them were covered in dark runes, which would make the Ichortoids think that they were not living creatures.

    However, the salvagers from the Altaar Corporation dove into the river and got themselves soaked in blood, resulting in all of them being infected by the Ichortoids.

    Witnessing whatever that was going on with his employees and underlings, Cleaves¡¯s face turned as grim as a crow. There were about sixty men on that boat and about twenty of them got infected by these Ichortoids.

    As the rest of the crew ran to the other side of the deck, the Ichortoids instructed their hosts to move closer to these people in order for them to get the rest of them infected.

    Thud!

    A massive, one-meter wide Ichortoid showed up from the river, ramming its body against a water vessel¡¯s shell. Then, it started to wrangle its tentacles around the vessel, seemingly intending to pull it into the depth of the bloody river.

    ¡°These imbeciles!¡±

    Cleaves could not hold it in anymore and finallyunched his attacks.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boooom!!

    Cleaves unleashed his abilities, hurling several rays of energy beams toward the Ichortoids. In an instant, the Ichortoids were burned to crisp. The ability users who were freshly infected finally stopped screaming as the Ichortoids that were tormenting them inside their body had all died from the energy beams.

    ¡°Light Rays! Vaporize!¡±

    In just one move, Cleaves was able to solve the crisis.

    However, after witnessing the danger of the Blood River, the rest of the crew quickly got onto their hover copters and flew away, abandoning their boats and water vessels.

    They did not want to risk encountering any more of these wretched blood-monsters anymore!

    To add more, despite Cleaves being able to solve the crisis, his entourage had indeed suffered some casualties. Five of the divers that were sent to the bottom of the river to salvage treasures had also been dragged down and were never to be seen again. It would not be farfetched to guess that these men were as good as dead too.

    Right now, not only did the Fengli Organization grab and was still grabbing all the avable free loots lying around, the Altaar Corporation could not even do any salvaging from the river for some earnings.

    Seeing how happy the people on the Fengli Organization¡¯s airship were in getting all the loot, Cleaves felt as though he was being belittled by these Chinese people.

    Thus, Cleaves sent his consciousness to Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft.

    ¡°Hey, boy! Your aircraft looks nice. And those hovercrafts too! I want all of them. If you know what¡¯s good for you, you better get lost. This isn¡¯t Huaxia Alliance¡¯s turf. You have trespassed your boundaries.¡±

    Initially, Cleaves wanted to keep Qin Feng around for a bit longer so they could rob them after they had finished collecting all the loot. Now that he had learned that there were some rather powerful Ichortoids lurking around, Cleaves had a change of ns.

    Even though they were all part of the Human Alliance, this did not mean that they got along well. They were only on the same page when it came to handling the Dark Coalition and ultra beasts. However, when they met in the wild or in other realms, they still tend to butt heads with one another.

    Upon hearing Cleaves¡¯s words, the members on the Fengli Organization¡¯s airships were feeling conflicted. Cleaves¡¯s presence was quite powerful¡ªthe man was an A-tier after all. If he wanted, he could just start attacking them and they would have no way of fighting back.

    The new recruits like Ning Xin were especially feeling conflicted on this too. Even though they knew that Qin Feng could defeat an A-tier like Liu Chong, they were still rather worried that Qin Feng might not be able to handle Cleaves¡ªit was well-known that Cleaves was as powerful as an A-tier beast king.

    Well, except Jin Hao.

    Jin Hao was smirking coldly at this so-called A-tier bandit.

    ¡°Sir, perhaps I should fire a shot at him? You know, to show him a little of our hand.¡± Jin Hao was a gunner. A B-tier gunner. Thus, he was quite well-versed in handling every single weaponry that was avable on the aircraft. And this aircraft was a rather advanced war machine¡ªthe fabled ¡°Fengli Dweller¡±, an aircraft that was remodeled based on the technology of the Floating City. Its fire power was nothing to scoff at.

    Qin Feng nodded before sending a word out to Cleaves using his consciousness, ¡°No, I think I won¡¯t. This realm isn¡¯t North African Republic Alliance¡¯s turf too, to be honest. So, why must I be the one who gets lost? If anything, you should be the one who gets lost first!¡±

    Upon hearing what Qin Feng had to say, Cleaves let out a belittlingugh, ¡°Hahahahaha! This is the funniest sh*t I¡¯ve ever heard in my whole life! You¡¯re just a B4-tier chump! And you¡¯re telling me to get lost? Just who do you think you are... F*ck!!¡±

    Before Cleaves was able to finish his words, a bright ray of energy darted straight at him from Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft. All he could do was react with a blurt of the F word.

    The energy beam struck and obliterated his energy shield in just one hit. It was like poking through a thin piece of paper with a knife!

    Booom!!!

    Then, Cleaves¡¯s airship was engulfed in a huge bang of explosion!

 Chapter 832 - A Human Ball

    <h4>Chapter 832: A Human Ball</h4>

    The explosion was huge and sudden.

    However, Cleaves was prepared for this. In the nick of time, he was able to zip out and escape from his exploding airship. Of course, all of his B-tier underlings were able to escape in time too.

    They hovered in the air and red at the Fengli Dweller furiously.

    A pair of radiant wings emerged on Cleaves back and enveloped himself in ayer of light barrier as he darted straight at Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft.

    He was moving at the speed of light. From afar, it looked like he had disappeared and then reappeared in front of the Fengli Dweller. This meant that he was now out of the Fengli Dweller¡¯s range of fire.

    He umted his conscious energy and formed a powerful energy in front of him. Then...

    Boom!

    Hundreds of energy beams were unleashed at the Fengli Dweller.

    However, right before these energy beams were able to hit the aircraft, a huge dimensional crack appeared in front of the Fengli Dweller and absorbed every single one of the attacks.

    The Fengli Dweller appeared to bepletely unharmed.

    And in the next instant, Qin Feng appeared above the aircraft.

    When Bai Li used her ability to absorb the energy beams, she had also sent Qin Feng up to the sky.

    Indeed, Cleaves was a powerful ability user. His powers were even more powerful than Qin Feng¡¯s.

    If they were to fight using just their abilities, Qin Feng was not a match against Cleaves.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s strength was not in his dark abilities. Instead, his trump cards were all in his internal energy! Unbeknownst to many, the young man was an absurdly powerful ancient warrior!

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    Unleashing his qingong, there were mirror images of Qin Feng everywhere one looked in the sky. Each one of them was covered in dark runes.

    Cleaves, being someone from outside of the Huaxia culture, did not recognize that this was actually a martial art. He thought that this was just a dark ability. If this was a dark ability, his light ability had the upper hand.

    Cleaves smirked and began to think about ways of humiliating this Chinese boy when he defeated himter.

    ¡°Radiant Advent!¡±

    A huge barrier of light instantly extended around Cleaves¡¯ body.

    Then, hundreds of sword-shaped light beams rained down from the sky, dispersing every single one of Qin Feng¡¯s mirror images.

    Regardless, when Cleaves was busy handling his mirror images, Qin Feng himself had already appeared behind Cleaves.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    umting internal energy in his palms, Qin Feng pushed out a powerful palm attack, one that was as powerful as the strike of a dragon¡¯s paw, at Cleaves.

    Booom!

    The light barrier around Cleaves dispersed in a huge quake! Not knowing what actually happened, Cleaves was struck and sent flying miles away. From afar, with his body still covered in light runes, he looked like a shooting star falling from the sky.

    At the same time, the light swords and barriers that were created by Cleaves vanished the instant he was struck!

    More importantly, Cleaves was sent flying far away from the Fengli Dweller, resulting in Cleaves not being able to seek revenge on his aircraft!

    Well, Cleaves was now so beaten into humiliation that he could not even think about retribution at all.

    Due to his abilities beingpletely dispersed, Cleaves needed time to regroup.

    However, Qin Feng had already activated his Phantom Shift again and was zooming straight at Cleaves with a powerful kick.

    ¡°Argh!!¡±

    Cleaves let out an excruciating cry before throwing up blood from his mouth.

    He quickly did a backflip in the air and pulled himself together.

    ¡°Holy Light!¡±

    A thick, blinding light descended from the sky and covered Cleaves, healing all the injuries he sustained from Qin Feng¡¯s attacks.

    Cleaves was known as the ¡°Son of the Sun¡± because he possessed the ability to quickly recover and heal his wounds using light runes. He was like an undying cockroach.

    Cleaves roared out in anger.

    ¡°Skysunder re!¡±

    A huge sun then appeared above Cleaves¡¯s head.

    The man was a ¡°King-ranked¡± A-tier. As such, it was not unlikely for someone like him to have mastered two types of runes.

    The power level of this ¡°Skysunder re¡± was even stronger than that of ¡°Radiant Advent¡±!

    Everyone in the vicinity could not help but squirm when faced against such an intense burning fire attack. It felt like if they got any closer they would all be burned into ash.

    Pssst!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy shield was sizzling loudly when shielding him against this powerful fire attack.

    Still, this was not enough to defeat Qin Feng.

    In a blink of an eye, Qin Feng vanished into thin air, leaving only a blurry mirror image¡ªthis time he did not use his dark runes at all.

    In a split second, Qin Feng had already appeared next to Cleaves.

    Having learned his lesson, Cleaves did not bother to raise his defenses. Instead, he opted to use his light-speed to flee.

    However, this was not enough to outrun an S-tier qinggong.

    Qin Feng was able to catch up to Cleaves again.

    Boom!

    Another palm strikended on Cleaves¡¯s back.

    Like a spinning wheel, Cleaves was sent flying miles away yet again. This time, some of his teeth were knocked out of his mouth while his face was badly swollen.

    After summoning another shower of Holy Light, Cleaves¡¯s wounds werepletely healed again. He was not able to regrow his lost teeth though.

    Licking the newly bare, toothless gum area in his mouth, Cleaves was so pissed that he thought he was going to explode!

    Funnily enough, Qin Feng did not even do much damage on him. All he did was just hit and send him flying far away like a ball.

    Cleaves was like a human ball, being pped and kicked around by Qin Feng.

    Nheless, Cleaves was an A2-tier ability user. The fact that he was now seemingly bullied by a B5-tier ancient warrior was an unbearable insult to him!

    ¡°This! Is! Impossible!! Die...!! Die!!!!¡±

    Even though Cleaves had lost his temper, all that was awaiting him were ps after ps from Qin Feng, sending him further away. It felt as though all Cleaves did in response was just healing his swollen face again and again.

    Cleaves¡¯s underlings, who originally wanted to rush up to aid their boss, did not dare to move a muscle upon seeing this. Qin Feng was too strong. No one dared to cross a fearsome foe like this.

    Thus, all these schmucks did was keep on watching their boss get humiliated again and again.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, actually did not intend to kill Cleaves. If he wanted him dead, the A-tier face-swollen bandit would be dead the instant Qin Feng unsheathed his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    An eye for an eye. Since Cleaves only wanted him to ¡°get lost¡±, Qin Feng then returned the favor¡ªby making Cleaves get lost.

    A few minutester, Cleaves was already pped and kicked closer and closer to the dimensional rift that they came from. Now, Qin Feng just needed to give him another push, Cleaves would be kicked out of the Blood River Realm and back to the shore of the Styx.

    Of course, Qin Feng did not waste his time at all.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    Another same, simple strike sent Cleaves flying backward again.

    It was then dimensional waves started to ripple around the dimensional rift before a huge aircraft flew through it.

    Thud!

    Cleaves¡¯s flying bodynded on the aircraft¡¯s energy barrier. In response to the impact, every single one of the aircraft¡¯s weaponry was pointed straight at the poor man.

    Then, a loud, manly voice could be heard in everyone¡¯s consciousness. His voice sounded surprised and rmed.

    ¡°Cleaves?! Is that you?! What the heck happened here?!¡±

    Then, the aircraft had fully gotten through the dimensional rift and into the Blood River Realm.

    There was a huge emblem on the aircraft¡¯s shell¡ªit was the emblem of the Gaia Corporation, another powerful faction from the North African Republic Alliance!

 Chapter 833 - A Collapsed Dimension

    <h4>Chapter 833: A Copsed Dimension</h4>

    Cleaves crashed on the force shield of the aircraft and put him to a halt. The momentum of the collision was too light to injure him. It was his pride and not his body that was hurt.

    ¡°I am fine,¡± Cleaves said grimly. He had lost the appetite to keep fighting.

    Despite ring at Qin Feng scathingly, Cleaves took no further action.

    From inside the aircraft, the ridiculed tone of leader Rocklin reached his consciousness. ¡°Then perhaps make way for the aircraft? Or else we would have no choice but to crush through you.¡±

    Cleaves¡¯s face turned bleeker. A pair of Radiant Wings materialized on his back and carried him higher into the stratosphere. Qin Feng could still sense his grudge. But seeing that he had lost the will to fight, the edge of Qin Feng¡¯s lips upturned into a grin.

    ¡®This kind of person always needs a beating toe to their senses.¡¯

    Qin Feng stepped back into his aircraft and continued to advance with his troop.

    When they were sparring, both the aircrafts had left the battlefield. However, Qin Feng¡¯s team had Bai Li in it. Wherever a spatial rift could open to, Qin Feng¡¯s team would have immediate ess to it.

    That was the most vital piece Cleaves¡¯s teamcks. If he wishes to find a footing here, Cleaves would need to haul in a stabilizer.

    By the time he found one, Qin Feng would probably have swept away all the good stuff, leaving behind treacherous monsters and worthless resources.

    Go for wool ande back shorn.

    ¡°Move on!¡± Under Qin Feng¡¯smand, the main aircraft and the thirty-airship fleet behind it marched on to explore the unknown region. Behind them, more and more neers had emerged.

    Many users from the North African Republic had long gathered near the Styx. After the news reached their ears, they rushed through the rift enthrallingly one after another. Ironically, ample living human beings were now hovering above the river to the afterlife.

    They could see the broad river under their feet as they carefully maneuvered through the small rifts spread across midair.

    The realm was shrouded by a faint crimson. On the first look, one would mistake the soothing red as the color on maple leaves during fall. Actually, these leaves grew on mutated nts that had absorbed the blood runes.

    That was the reason why this realm was named Blood River Realm.

    Qin Feng was the first to arrive, so naturally, he was the one that benefited the most. Seeing that it was temporarily safe, the others that followed quickly called for spatial stabilizing apparatus to be delivered quickly. But the time wasted in between only gave Qin Feng more luxury to harvest the resources with zeropetition.

    Inevitably, the users from the republic had their sights fixed on Qin Feng. They had even set up a private virtual meeting group among them.

    ¡°Where is that organization from? Is it Huaxia?¡±

    ¡°Damn it! He had most of the good stuff stolen away! Don¡¯t you have a stabilizer on your aircraft?¡±

    ¡°Why is he so well prepared?¡±

    ¡°I recognize the name. I heard that they are the biggest firearm manufacturer in Huaxia. Other than that, they also excel in research regarding spatial runes and different realms. That exins why they are so well equipped.¡±

    ¡°So it¡¯s them. I have heard tales about their president. It is said that he single-handedly eliminated most of the high-rank aptitude users in the Amazon Alliance.¡±

    Stories about him that seemed unreal daunted them.

    Except for Cleaves, who snorted at the rumors. If Qin Feng were really that scary, why did he not kill him just now?

    He quickly called out, ¡°No matter what, these rifts appeared above the Styx, our turf! We shouldn¡¯t stand by and let someone from Huaxia snatch it under our nose. To be frank, even I have lost a ship earlier. Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you that the Blood River down there is full of C-tier Ichortoids. If anyone is brave enough to descend and verify, be my guest.¡±

    The others did n to search the river. But indeed they had seen a shipwreck down there, which belonged to the Altaar Corporation. Naturally, they became cautious and did not go down immediately. Cleaves¡¯s words confirmed their worries.

    With that said, they once again had their eyes turned to Fengli¡¯s aircraft, this time with a more purposeful nce.

    ¡°Cleaves, are you suggesting...¡±

    ¡°You guys know damn well what I am suggesting. We should just get onboard their crafts and take back...¡±

    Before he could finish the sentence, numerous rms interrupted and sted their eardrums.

    [Warning! Warning! Arge number of spatial rifts have been detected. An unknown creature is approaching!]

    ¡°What the hell!?¡± Cleaves was startled.

    At the same time, Qin Feng had received the same warning.

    The numbers of emerging rifts refreshed rapidly on the radar. Information regarding the huge rift was also being disyed on the hologram.

    Bai Li unleashed her spatial runes and it immediately covered the entire fleet. Within this area, the realm was being stabilized by Bai Li¡¯s power and no rift could invade the zone.

    The airship that initially hovered right above the river had also returned near the fleet.

    Bai Li¡¯s realm was the only safe zone at the moment.

    Following the urrence of the rift, things kept falling out of it.

    There were soil clumps, trees, beasts, and even humans.

    As far as the eyes could see, a gigantic thunder broke the sky in half. Then, a giant city appeared abruptly like a mirage. The city then quickly crumbled and the entire establishment plummeted straight to the ground.

    One of the rifts nearer to them was pouring out water frenziedly. The water appeared brown and looked close to mud water. The water crashed on the hillside and devastated the vegetation on it, turned red along the way, and rushed into the river.

    Everything within sight seemed to tremble in front of the merciless natural force.

    Watching the imposing scene, Qin Feng¡¯s heart pounded in bewilderment.

    Spatial ovepped!

    After Qin Feng was reborn, what he experienced in Chungluo was an idental encounter. He had no idea that the Fettered Land was once Chungluo City.

    But after some research, he now had a deeper understanding of spaces and realms.

    Thus, he immediatelyprehended the current phenomenon.

    Not only that but the current ovepping incident seemed to be more severe than Chungluo City.

    The world was copsing right in front of Qin Feng. It was not the same asst time. Each dimension was unique in itself, so it was hard to predict what peculiarity would happen this time. He still did not have enough knowledge to exin everything.

    But he was certain about one thing, this was yet another golden opportunity presented to him.

    The rift was still ripping through the air. New species began to arrive through the spatial tunnel.

    Beasts¡¯ roars and humans¡¯ outcries from afar filled their world. The ¡°maple trees¡± lining the mountain also unveiled their ferocious fangs against the intruders.

    Amid the chaos, the frightened shrieks of the ability users from the North African Republic still sounded crisp and clear.

    Crack!

    A hovercraft was brutally ripped apart by a spatial rift.

    Boom!

    The craft exploded and left no trace behind.

 Chapter 834 - Intelligent Speciesâ€”Gorefiend

    <h4>Chapter 834: Intelligent Species¡ªGorefiend</h4>

    The users of the North African Republic panicked.

    There were simply too many spatial rifts popping up. They tried to maneuver through it but were eventually cornered. Most of them had to abandon their ships and flee.

    They were a little too far from the initial entrance now. It was hard to return to the original dimension in this chaos.

    Cleaves assessed the situation and decisively steered his only two aircrafts into Feng Li¡¯s bombing range.

    Jin Hao saw everything through the surveince monitor inside the aircraft and mocked, ¡°So-called the Son of Sun from that prestigious Altaar Corporation. A minute ago he was still begrudging our president and now he is taking refuge under our shelter?¡±

    Jin Hao then turned to Qin Feng, eagerly waiting for thetter to give the firing order. This time, it would not be on the same level as the earlier warning shot.

    ¡°Leave them be. Keep your eyes open and stay vignt.¡±

    Qin Feng spoke as he expanded his consciousness to probe the strength of the monsters dropping out from the unknown dimension.

    He knew exactly where they were heading. The ce ahead where the humongous city had fallen on was called the Bloodbath Warzone.

    An even more intensive battle must be ongoing near there right now.

    ording to the intel Qin Feng brought over from his past memory, the reason why the North African Republic chose the name Blood River Realm was because almost all creatures living here were bloodthirsty in nature.

    That was really unfortunate for beasts and humans that arrived here due to the dissolution of the boundary between dimensions. They came unprepared and unrmed. The blood-seeking creatures in this dimension killed everything that came across their paths mercilessly.

    The copse and ovep of a dimension usuallysted not in years but centuries. Creatures from the copsing dimension would only continue to flee through the rifts, thinking that it was their salvation. Tragically, they were just running from one hell into another.

    This was especially true for humans. Aside from being hit by the new reality of this ruthless realm, they also needed to fight off the beasts that came into this world along with them.

    The beasts were equally in a tight spot. As soon as theynded on the mountains, numerous bloody creatures would instantly surface and prate their skin. Once they had essed their blood vessels, the creature would cause the blood to backflow and kill the monsters.

    Instantly, the mountains were all covered in corpses and carcasses. Beasts that tried to escape crashed into the river, bing yet another floating corpse on it.

    Abruptly, a giant rift bigger than any rift before it shredded the sky. An intimidating creature flew out from it.

    ¡°Beast deity! It¡¯s the aura of a beast deity!¡±

    Jin Hao saw an explosive number climbing on the screen monitor. A creature had been locked on by the radar.

    A chimera of a cow and a horse was the best description to be used on this creature. All its hoofs and its tail burned brightly, while its body was covered by scales that looked as hard as y bricks.

    Its size was rtively small for a beast deity, probably because this was its transfigured form. The beast was ¡°only¡± five meters high and about seven to eight meter long.

    Though he might not be the biggest beast that had arrived in this world, it was definitely the most majestic one.

    As it descended and finally settled on one of the peaks, the beast deity surveyed the surroundings consciously, with a pair of eyes that had wisdom in them. It then paced forward leisurely. The river water that sshed on the beast was rapidly evaporated by the mes around it.

    The beast deity probably knew it had arrived at an extremely hostile environment. Rings of fire sprang into life and twirled around its body.

    It seemed to be wandering aimlessly, only stopping asionally and stomping its feet. Then, it happened.

    Neighhh!!!!!

    Along with the low hum, scales on its body beamed in yellow lights. The lights then detached and molded into the shape of a halo.

    Schwaff!

    About a thousand halos spread out from the beast deity at the center point. Half of them into midair while another half straight at the hillside of a neighboring mountain.

    In the next moment, the mountain was sliced in half horizontally. The top part began to slide down and eventually dropped into the river.

    The once cone-shaped mountain was turned into a mesa in just an instant! Maroonnd on the teau was exposed, with no life form found on it.

    The beast deity continued to hum eagerly. Other beasts, attracted by the call, rushed to the ten-thousand-meter-square tform out of survival instinct.

    ¡°Is that the Terraform Ability? That¡¯s absurd!¡± Zhou Che happened to be a B-tier earth ability user. He was enthused to see the beast deity burst into action.

    Terraform was neither a secret technique nor a ridiculously powerful skill. It could be mastered easily by a C-tier. However, the extent and magnitude of the skill was dependent on how powerful the caster was. Usually, only an A-tier could do what the beast deity did. Zhou Che managed to witness how the beast had arranged the earth element when it cast the skill. This would help him greatly in furtherprehending the fundamentals of Terraform.

    It was just like how a low-tier ancient warrior could be enlightened by watching high-tier ancient warriors fight.

    But Qin Feng was tensed up seeing the buildup. He had a bad feeling about what was going toe next.

    Poof!

    A water pir suddenly thrust up from the river like water fountains. It shot into the air, turned into dragon form, and sshed on the teau.

    The initially dry maroonnd turned into a pool of thick blood. Not only that but something was seen lurking within the viscous pool.

    Awoo!!!

    The beasts roared terrifyingly. All of them were hit by the water pirs. A human figure then appeared promptly at the front end of the water pir.

    The human figure was covered in blood and appeared in the form of liquid. Their heads remained connected to the water pir, which made them stand at about ten meters tall.

    Both its physical appearance and aura were equally intimidating.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes opened wide.

    ¡°A-tier, Gorefiend!¡±

    They were the intelligent species who ruled the Blood River Realm.

    Creaturesing from the copsing dimensions were turned into the nutrients of thisnd by them. They were actually a species being watched by the North African Republic Alliance. More precisely, once upon a time, the human alliances had joined forces to annihte this species. It ended with the Gorefiend being chased into an isted dimension to thrive without affecting the humans.

    The Gorefiends gushed onto the tform and tried to pull the beasts up there into the river. They wanted to bleed them clean and nourish the Blood River. These fiends had no fear as they even tried to bring down the A-tier beast deity.

    This was their turf, and it yed by their rules.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes beamed with exhration.

 Chapter 835 - Qin Feng the Wolf

    <h4>Chapter 835: Qin Feng the Wolf</h4>

    On one hand, it was the powerful A-tier intelligent species Gorefiend who had the habitat advantage. On the other hand, it was a mighty A-tier beast deity. The sh between the two titans had the world around them falling apart. Many innocent souls were implicated and dead bodies piled up at an insane rate.

    Beasts that tried to seek refuge under the beast deity were not spared. That only irritated the beast deity more and the battle became even more intense.

    In such circumstances, humans from the North African Republic were like petty ants that had identally stepped into a gruesome battlefield. Any misstep of the monsters would easily trample them to death. Not only that but they also had to be wary of the rifts.

    Aspared to the flustered users from the republic, those on the Fengli fleets were as calm as water. They stayedposed in their own position. This was because they had the utmost confidence in their leader, believing that he could protect them regardless of the predicament they were facing.

    Because of the ever-growing ferocity of the battle between the Gorefiend and the dual fire-earth beast deity, more beasts were tangled in and killed. Blood shed by the dead beasts only further strengthened the Gorefiend¡¯s power. It was a little too strong for even the beast deity to rival.

    Blood could put off the fire like water.

    ¡®This is it.¡¯ Qin Feng grinned. When shepherds quarreled, the wolf had a winning game.

    Qin Feng the wolf seized the opportunity and exited the aircraft.

    He triggered his runes and pointed his finger.

    A gloomy cloud appeared in the air and expanded continuously until it covered a hundred hectares ofnd. That was right above the teau sliced by the beast deity.

    Under Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft, Cleaves¡¯s eyebrows almost touched each other. Every nerve in his body was tingling with difort.

    Light and dark were natural antagonists to each other. Cleaves was most impacted when Qin Feng¡¯s dark runes erupted. But since he required Qin Feng¡¯s protection now, he could only keep the difort to himself.

    Nheless, he could hardly hold back his tremble and he was utterly embarrassed by it.

    Qin Feng could not care less how the person below him was feeling. After the cloud had taken form, it began to drizzle dark rain.

    It was none other than the Decaying Rain.

    This ability had evolved as Qin Feng¡¯s strength was enhanced and he amassed more dark runes. It was especially scary when a certain condition was met.

    ¡®Dark Bound, Myriad Corpses Descend.¡¯

    Ssh!

    ck raindrops descended and drenched the corpses on the ground. It turned the fresh corpses¡¯ fleshes, bones, and red blood into dark brown. Spots rinsed multiple times by the dark rain began to erode and left bare the bones underneath it.

    k! k!

    One after another dead beast began to crawl up.

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    Qin Feng pointed at the Gorefiend.

    Roar!

    The Gorefiend was enraged. Qin Feng¡¯s ability had contaminated its delicious cuisine.

    It required fresh blood to regenerate its power. Qin Feng¡¯s Decaying Rain killed the blood¡¯s activeness and cut the Gorefiend¡¯s energy supply.

    Not only that but the dead monsters all stood back up and were attacking it.

    That was unforgivable.

    The Gorefiend left the ground and hovered in midair. After it figured out the culprit, the Gorefiend stormed straight at Qin Feng. The Gorefiend could sense that Qin Feng was just a mere B-tier, something it could run over and wreck easily.

    But Qin Feng would not let that happen.

    Another figure appeared beside Qin Feng on the aircraft¡¯s deck. She was dressed in white and had a white light ball on her hand. Who else would it be if not Bai Li?

    Spatial Seal!

    She did not bother to use Cubic sp because it would have little use against the beast. She directly had the entire space sealed.

    Arge band of silver runes appeared like a thin gauze. The silver fog shrouded the mesa and sealed both the Gorefiend and the beast deity in it.

    The Gorefiend could not reach Qin Feng being trapped by the spatial skill.

    Not only was it tangled up by the dead puppets, but the beast deity would not let go of this opening too.

    Rawr!

    The beast deity roared and summoned meteorites within its Earth Wall. The meteoritesnded ferociously on the Gorefiend, smashing away the blood that formed its body.

    After the blood left the Gorefiend, it was either contaminated by Qin Feng¡¯s decaying rain or swallowed by his puppet to nullify its activity. Either way, the blood could no longer return to the Gorefiend and be used as its life force.

    The Gorefiend¡¯s aura was getting weaker and weaker. The beast deity who was also exposed to the Decaying Rain was equally debilitated. They had no other choice but to continue the battle. Luckily they did not think of setting aside their rivalry and breaking through Bai Li¡¯s spatial trap together.

    Under Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s maniption, both the creatures suffered considerable damage.

    Qin Feng controlled a giant beast to bite off the neck of the fatigued beast deity. Another beast wasmanded to engulf the Gorefiend and killed it offpletely.

    On top of the teau, only a few tens of A-tierrge-size undead puppets were left standing. They were equally battered with wounds all over their bodies. Bones were exposed on the outside, which only added to their eeriness.

    zing Sky!

    Qin Feng drew his Verdant Emperor Saber and ¡°killed¡± the undead that had just swallowed the Gorefiend.

    Poof.

    The undead puppet was cut in half and its heart exposed. Bewilderingly, the puppet¡¯s heart appeared red and was pumping vigorously.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness reached a basketball-sized bloodstone inside the heart and retrieved it. The stone was crystal clear and radiating vigor.

    ¡®Blood Concentrated Crystal! This is one hell of a core!¡¯

    Though Qin Feng had made a name for himself here in his past life, he did not have the chance to touch such a rare item then. The Gorefiend was imed by a few S-tiers thest time he was here.

    Now that he got his hand on the crystal, he finally realized the allure of it. Even his ability could hardly contain itself. He could not wait to feast on it.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng did not hold back and unleashed his ability.

    Rich energy emerged from the blood crystal. It was not made of runes but crude life force. The life force-fed Qin Feng¡¯s body and extended his lifespan for at least two hundred years.

    Other than that, there was another stream of conscious energy feeding Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm.

    As an intelligent species, the Gorefiend could stagger the aptitude users around it simply through a roar. It was not difficult to imagine how powerful its conscious energy could be. Moreover, the Gorefiend was clearly several tiers above Qin Feng¡¯s current strength.

    The influx of consciousness boosted Qin Feng¡¯s conscious mind significantly.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness broke through a bottleneck and directly attained B5-tier.

    The influx was still ongoing. The blood crystal in Qin Feng¡¯s hand shrank rapidly in size.

    Boom!

    It forced another breakthrough and upheaved Qin Feng¡¯s aura to a new level.

 Chapter 836 - The Blood River Battlefield

    <h4>Chapter 836: The Blood River Battlefield</h4>

    Qin Feng had yet to see an end to his upgrade. His consciousness had reached B6-tier.

    At this moment, the tremble of the rift had stopped and the surroundings had settled down. Only a fewrge cracks remained, as the world had now opened up to a new dimension through the fissure. This was probably permanent. Beasts were seen passing through the rift from time to time.

    Users from the North African Republic Alliance were watching Qin Feng carefully. After Qin Feng had undergone two quick upgrades, they promptly retreated.

    What monster was this?

    The fight earlier involved an A2-tier beast deity and an A-tier intelligent species. Yet, Qin Feng and Bai Li had won the fight almost effortlessly. Their skills even surpassed that of an A-tier aptitude user. It was incredible.

    Cleaves was especially baffled.

    ¡®What the heck? He is clearly an ancient warrior. I thought that the dark ability was on the shielding equipment? Why has it be his ability now, and with such power?¡¯

    Deep in his own thoughts, Cleaves realized that the surroundings had be stable. He quickly ordered his subordinates to fly the tworge aircrafts away from the protected zone under the Fengli Organization. He wished to distance himself from them as far as possible. After what happened, he would never again plot against Qin Feng.

    The reason he was still alive after the dreadful battle was thanks to Fengli¡¯s protection. Cleaves had to leave at the first chance before anyone from Fengli shamed him.

    Those in Fengli burst intoughter after seeing what Cleaves had done.

    ¡°That¡¯s enough. Stopughing and continue with the collection!¡± Bai Limanded.

    ¡°Roger, Ms. Bai!¡±

    Users of the Fengli Organization once again got back to work.

    As for Qin Feng, he pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber and observed it closely. Its soul remained dormant without the trigger of internal force. But Qin Feng could still see the saber assimting with one soul after anothering from underneath them.

    He shed the Verdant Emperor Saber and shred the A-tier beast deity to retrieve its crystal core.

    This beast deity was undoubtedly powerful. Unfortunately, it hade across the Gorefiend and Qin Feng today. It would not have died so easily if the horse-cow chimera was as strong as Mohrian.

    Some races were indeed superior to others by nature.

    ¡®Nheless, this core has enough energy for me to attempt A-tier and reach the god tier!¡¯

    This was currently the second god-level crystal core that Qin Feng had in hand. The Glutton Leviathan was close to a beast deity but still only a beast emperor after all. Those cores bought from the Dusk Dragon Auction had already been given to Bai Li. This core, by definition, was the first god-tier core Qin Feng had imed with his own two hands.

    The number of beast deities a dimension could sustain was usually very few. After all, there was a limitation of resources in each dimension.

    But now that this dimension had ovepped with other dimensions, Qin Feng could foresee that more beast deities would arrive here.

    Besides, beast deities that could escape a copsing dimension were exceptionally powerful too, most of the time.

    After he had taken care of business, Qin Feng raised his hand and dispersed the remaining dark force. The undead puppets crumbled immediately in response.

    He then flipped his consciousness and one after another energy cores shot out from the undead bodies.

    The decaying puppets had no use to Qin Feng. All he cared about was the refined energy of the beasts.

    In other words, everything on the teau created by the beast deity was imed by Qin Feng alone.

    Despite that, nobody raised an objection.

    In fact, they were secretly discussing another matter.

    ¡°Cleaves, why did you try to me us against this man just now? He is actually a dark ability user. Moreover, his puppeteering skill is perhaps the level of a grandmaster!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right! Even though we are in a different dimension, he would still have an enormous advantage with so many bodies lying around.¡±

    ¡°Horrible, extremely horrible. Have you seen his Myriad Corpses Descend? The amount of undead puppets he could control is almost the scale of a beast wave. There¡¯s no way we could have fought him and won.¡±

    ¡°You are a heartless bastard, Cleaves!¡±

    They collectively condemned Cleaves. Cleaves could only swallow it bitterly. He did not know Qin Feng was hiding such a trump card up his sleeve when they were fighting earlier.

    A normal B-tier ancient warrior was nothing to be afraid of. But a B-tier puppeteer? He could be as formidable as anyone if he owned an S-tier puppet.

    Luckily the besiege suggested by Cleaves was interrupted.

    Instead, the users from the republic were now greeting Qin Feng politely, trying to pry where this influential young prospect hade from. Qin Feng answered back big-heartedly.

    The Blood River Realm was a huge dimension. Qin Feng did note here just to pick up corpses. His ultimate aim was to hunt more Gorefiends.

    ¡°Steer toward where the rift had opened just now,¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    The entire fleet turned immediately ording to Qin Feng¡¯s will. They carefully harvested powerful beasts that they deemed valuable. Though they knew the realms and the runic equipment on them were protected by dark runes, they could not afford to lose their vignce. After experiencing the dimension copse, as well as understanding how scary the Gorefiends and Ichortoids were, these men were fully aware of the danger they were still exposed to.

    They continued to march. Half an hourter, their vision became broader as the mountain ranges on both sides had vanished abruptly. In its ce was a in in blood-red color.

    They could hear the uproar even from afar.

    Qin Feng surveyed the city from afar. It was clearly devastated with copsed buildings all over the ce. Humans there were battling frenziedly. They wore the same attire but were assaulting each other without the slightest sense of mercy.

    On a closer look, one side of them was stained in red with blood gushing out from their bodies.

    Humans were possessed by Gorefiend and had begun massacring the town.

    Blood River Battlefield!

    This ce was infamous in Qin Feng¡¯s past life. This ce housed perhaps thergest rift connected to the Blood River Realm. Humans continued to fall off it into the realm, with more and more of them being infested by the Gorefiend.

    After a while, the Human Alliances and the Dark Coalition had also gotten involved and further embroiled the situation. It was a bloody war.

    All of this was not only because of the Gorefiend¡¯s appearance but more to the treasure hidden inside the city rumored to be left behind by the royal family.

    S-tier god armaments were not too far-fetch in such a ce.

    ¡°I will go down with Bai Li. You guys watch each other¡¯s back!¡± Qin Feng said coarsely.

    ¡°Roger!¡±

 Chapter 837 - The Exploding Scepter

    <h4>Chapter 837: The Exploding Scepter</h4>

    Qin Feng stepped out of the aircraft, surrounding his body with internal force in an instant. Without needing him to say anything, Bai Li¡¯s body became partially translucent and she shifted herself into an alternate space to prevent blood from sshing onto her clothes.

    Gorefiends were extremely dangerous beings.

    Even though Qin Feng managed to kill an A-tier Gorefiend just now, to be honest, he would not want to take on another one like that in a direct confrontation.

    He quickly fell toward the edge of the ruins. The ground here was still a mixture of ck and red, some ces were still damp and blood was slowly seeping from it.

    Due to an entire city and a massive chunk ofnd having fallen there, the mutant nts here had been utterly ttened underneath and as more and more people continued to die the Gorefiends became more and more ferocious.

    Qin Feng¡¯s appearance was definitely different from the humans around him. They all wore long robes, some kind of archaic fashion, simr to the long dress that Bai Li was wearing. His being d in hisbat uniform obviously made him seem out of ce.

    However, in this chaos, nobody would care what Qin Feng looked like. However, when the blood-drenched people saw Qin Feng, they immediately rushed over.

    A male covered in blood struck his palm out and a torrent of blood crashed directly onto his internal force and was instantly rinsed away. He drew the Verdant Emperor Saber and immediately shed forward.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    No point using the Spirit Rend, he could at least kill a Gorefiend of this kind of power with one move.

    With just one sh, the Gorefiend-possessed human was cut at the waist, blood sshing everywhere in huge quantities.

    On the ground, the blood puddle quickly began to reform. A Gorefiend with a human-like upper body and a snake-like lower body crawled out andunched its attack at Qin Feng.

    The blood surged forward like ake that threatened to engulf him.

    He raised a hand as a huge fireball appeared on his palm, instantly expanding to more than three meters.

    Within Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness, was the Sacred ming Stone that he took away from Mohrian¡¯s Volcano, so fire runes were quick to condense and create the fireball in the blink of an eye before it was sent out.

    Boom!

    The fireball smashed through the wave of blood and mmed into the Gorefiend.

    ¡°Aaaaagh!¡±

    The Gorefiend screeched and arge portion of blood on its body was instantly evaporated, causing it to wither down into a smaller being roughly the size of a baby. Qin Feng moved forward and immediately pierced through his opponent¡¯s heart with a single strike.

    A powerful force spread out from his opponent and was devoured by his absorption ability, strengthening his physical form and his consciousness.

    He lifted his hand, and a Blood Crystalnded in his palm.

    After easily killing one, he continued to walk into the ruins and whenever he encountered a Gorefiend, he would kill it without leaving a trace. At the same time, he was looking for something.

    The ruins were vast, since it was originally a city and this city happened to be huge.

    Ignoring the destion and where it now stood, this city was probably bigger than the Dragon Capital.

    At this moment, a bright burning me appeared in the center of the city.

    ¡°Hwroar!¡±

    There came the sound of a Dragon¡¯s roar before it speared through the sky, reaching up a thousand meters in altitude. A spectacr sight to behold.

    However, this was just the shadow of a long ming Dragon.

    He could hear the surrounding humans start calling out to see what was going on, looking to the central area with excitement. Even the people who had fled earlier were starting to return.

    Qin Feng understood what this all meant!

    A legendary god armament had finally appeared!

    He knew about this legend, while some people said that it was a robe, others said it was a scepter. Qin Feng was not sure what it was, but there was no doubt that this item was obtained by an S-tier!

    And since there was no S-tier that had entered the rift yet, Qin Feng would naturally not let this go.

    ¡°Move!¡± He uttered quietly in his mind, Bai Li moved instantly and took Qin Feng forward about ten kilometers or more toward the center of the ruins.

    He was still about a good kilometer or so away from the centermost area. He stood on a tower that had yet to copse and surveyed the surrounding ruins.

    An old man wearing a me-red robe embroidered with a symbol that resembled the Sun and intricate swirls, a two-meter long staff currently held in his hands, was unleashing a powerful aura!

    ¡°S-tier!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes widened as arge wave of air blew toward him.

    ¡°Suppressing Barrier, go!¡±

    He suddenly formed a ten-meter wide Fire Wall around himself. A flood of magma spread out beneath him and five fire dragons hovered around him. The terrifying st of air crashed into the Fire Wall without affecting it.

    After the shockwave passed, Qin Feng released his consciousness. He ¡®looked¡¯ at his surroundings and saw up to a hundred A-tier humans.

    On the other hand, there was obviously one old man but he exuded the aura of two people.

    As he looked forward with his own eyes, he noticed from a kilometer away that the old man¡¯s white hair had turned as red as blood.

    He immediately understood what was going on, this person had actually been possessed by a Gorefiend.

    However, the S-tier was extremely powerful and did not die, continuing to struggle against the Gorefiend¡¯s control.

    However, it would only be a matter of time before this struggle was over. The blood around the old man was getting more and more dense and it looked like it was about topletely swallow the S-tier!

    ¡°Retreat immediately!!!¡±

    A st of consciousness was unleashed as the old man roared out, sounding like he was about to start destroying everything indiscriminately.

    The surrounding people were full of grief.

    ¡°Your Majesty!¡±

    ¡°Your Majesty!!!¡±

    ¡°Retreat! Hurry!¡±

    That old man sounded like he was losing control of himself, his voice getting distorted.

    Qin Feng did not know this man, nor did he sympathize with the people around him. The moment the man cried out, he was already on the retreat.

    He had already felt that the scepter in the old man¡¯s hands carried with it some kind of explosive energy and he had no choice but to start backing off.

    Boom!

    There was a huge explosion,pletely tearing through everything around it. Such a st would spread through ten thousand meters!

    Qin Feng could only retreat for about two kilometers. At this time, he was still in the st radius.

    ¡°Phase Shift!¡±

    Bai Li instantly dragged Qin Feng into a different space. He saw that everything around him had be blurry, looking at the world as if it was some kind of omniscient force and the only real thing was Bai Li next to him.

    The fires of the explosion, death and destruction, it all seemed so far away from him. When he looked to the ground, he saw that the st was vaporizing the ground and had formed a crater one hundred meters deep!

    The old man in the epicenter had caused his staff to explode, and the crystal tip hadpletely shattered.

    That person¡¯s bodypletely burned to ash under the high temperature. With the utter destruction of the outer shell, all that remained was the bright red figure within!

    The Gorefiend!

    The Gorefiend opened itsrge mouth, but its roar was drowned out by the noise of the explosion and nobody knew what was happening in there!

    Only Qin Feng did, from his god-like perspective, could see this.

 Chapter 838 - Divine Flame Imperial Robe

    <h4>Chapter 838: Divine me Imperial Robe</h4>

    In the end the Gorefiend turned into an orange-red shade, as if it had been burnt as it started to melt.

    The blood crystals inside its body began to fall out and drop to the ground. Unlike the mes set off by that imperial robe, a river of blood formed the moment it hit the ground!

    The S-tier Gorefiend waspletely different from the standard Gorefiend. Their crystal core was like a Sacred Stone, possessing a huge quantity of power. The blood quickly started to fill the crater, hitting the still burning mes and generating patches of blood-red fog.

    The clouds in the sky were starting to get dyed red. If it rained right now, the people in this ruined city would probably get wiped out.

    In therge crater, the blood got so heated that it had begun to boil due to the scorching aura but its power had dropped by a vast degree. At least, enough to the point where A-tiers could withstand it.

    ¡°Bai Li, quick!¡±

    Needless for him to say, Bai Li was already taking him through the bloody mist.

    She pointed a finger at the center of the bloodke and in an instant a basketball sized blood crystal exuding a powerful aura emerged from it.

    Qin Feng could not bear the temptation of such an aura and wanted to absorb it immediately, but he knew that he could not absorb the blood crystal right now!

    This blood crystal was in the S-tier, but Qin Feng¡¯s current state, even if it was beast emperor level, was only B-tier. If something this powerful was ingested, even if he had the Absorption Ability, there was a likelihood that he would implode.

    Bai Li could withstand such a feeling, as a spatial beast, she had a long life and was not constantly thirsting for progression in life. As such, she quickly put the blood crystal into her space.

    Without this aura, Qin Feng quickly recollected himself and his gaze fell onto something more important nearby.

    That precious god armor robe.

    This long robe embroidered with the symbol of the sun was constantly rising under the cover of mes. The raging fire and the aura of this S-tier god armor could be felt at all times.

    The moment Qin Feng appeared nearby it, he felt a hundred consciousnesses targeted and locked onto him!

    A series of exmations could be heard, followed by a roar from the consciousness.

    ¡°Who, who dares touch the Divine me Imperial Robe!¡±

    ¡°That belongs to our empire!¡±

    ¡°Get out if you don¡¯t want to die!¡±

    The threats carried at a resounding volume, but why would Qin Feng care? With his powerful consciousness, unwaveringly, he reached out to collect the item known as the Divine me Imperial Robe.

    The me Scepter might have exploded earlier, but it did not damage the Divine me Imperial Robe at all. Maybe because the robe was not affected by mes, that or maybe because it was just that powerful. There was no doubt that this was a fantastic treasure!

    Due to Qin Feng not working under any S-tiers before he was reborn, he had no idea who got this treasure back then.

    Now, it belonged to Qin Feng!

    In the next moment, a scorching aura exploded from Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    Boom!

    A terrifying me engulfed Qin Feng¡¯s body!

    The scorching heat felt like he was being submerged in magma from the center of the Earth, or like, he was standing on the surface of the Sun.

    Such temperature couldpletely burn any human being into a crisp.

    Qin Feng and the Divine me Imperial Robe formed into a massive sun beam, even Bai Li was forced to retreat thirty meters away.

    From a distance came the consciousness of a different group of people.

    ¡°Idiot, did you really think that the Divine me Imperial Robe was so easy to obtain?¡±

    ¡°Just die, the Divine Robe will not yield to anyone. For thousands of years, only His Majesty managed to control it. Those of royal blood could only keep it in their vaults. If one isn¡¯t a level eight pyrokic master, how could they afford to control the Divine me Imperial Robe?¡±

    If they meant level eight as in the S-tier then naturally it would have been impossible for Qin Feng to reach that.

    However, if they were simply referring to the strength of the fire runes...

    In the center of the sun beam, Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was scorched away as he was about to snatch up the robe, but when he felt that the object¡¯s heat was about to burn him, his fire ability was automatically activated.

    A shroud of me enveloped Qin Feng,pressing into a barrier to protect him from his surroundings and preventing the heat from harming him.

    However, he did not let go of the Divine me Imperial Robe, instead a spiral began to form between his eyebrows.

    The artifact was alive, especially items that had reached S-tier. They must have their own special requirements, otherwise they could not be controlled by whoever killed their wielders.

    This was the situation now.

    ¡°Taming you isn¡¯t easy!¡±

    As Qin Feng spoke, a red me burst out from the center of his brow. The Sacred me Meteor he discovered under Mohrian¡¯sir was rolling out its billowing fire runes, once again trying to protect him and fighting against the Divine me Imperial Robe.

    Not only that, in the vortex in Qin Feng¡¯s brow, twos began to rotate.

    Thergest ck crystal began to burst forth with a horrifying attracting force.

    The runes that threatened Qin Feng were gradually getting absorbed by this attraction and they involuntarily broke away from their previous arrangement to join Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness.

    Once in there, they no longer belonged to the Divine me Imperial Robe and instead obeyed Qin Feng¡¯smand.

    The second thing that was rotating was naturally the fire crystal core given to him by the Wisdom Fruit. This ming gem was starting to absorb the fire runes from the robe one after the other.

    In this state of ebb and flow, the runes around Qin Feng were quickly being absorbed and the burning force of the Imperial Robe was getting smaller and smaller.

    At the edge of therge crater, the humans who had thought that Qin Feng would be consumed by the Divine me Imperial Robe were all ck-jawed as they watched the miniature sun be more and more transparent before revealing the figure inside.

    In the end, the fire disappeared and the Divine me Imperial Robe could be seen morepliantly attached to Qin Feng.

    Its overwhelming me had disappeared and its terrible aura seemed to have been tamed. It had be an elegant and aesthetically pleasing article of clothing that was draped over Qin Feng¡¯s body. It even automatically turned into a size suitable for Qin Feng¡¯s figure!

    The god armor had attuned to its owner!

    ¡°How...how is that possible?¡±

    ¡°He actually attuned with the Divine Robe!¡±

    ¡°No, the Divine Robe is mine! I, too, will obtain it!¡±

    ¡°He is not one of us! He¡¯s a human from another ne, undeserving of the Divine Robe, let¡¯s take it back!¡±

    ¡°Get him!¡±

    Countless humans shouted out.

    However,pared to them, there were others that were faster.

    Boom boom boom boom boom!

    From the bloodke under Qin Feng¡¯s feet, five Gorefiends burst out from it and rushed toward him and Bai Li.

    More urately, they were going after Bai Li because she took away the S-tier blood crystal.

    All of these Gorefiends were A-tier. Before, one Gorefiend could take on a beast deity, but now that she was facing against five, her face had begun to turn pale.

    Only Qin Feng still carried in his eyes a thirst for battle!

 Chapter 839 - Three Domains

    <h4>Chapter 839: Three Domains</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness began to fluctuate, sending out a terrifying aura.

    The Wisdom Fruit gave Qin Feng three other abilities, fire, water and earth. At the same time it also raised his consciousness. His original power wasparable to that of a beast emperor, but by now he was three times more powerful.

    As a four-element ability user, the most powerful force he could wield was the power of the domains.

    ¡°First domain!¡±

    On the ground, fire runes began to gather, turning it into magma before it merged into theke of blood.

    ¡°Second domain!¡±

    In the air, boulders began to descend from a high altitude at extreme speeds. Not only that, they carried with them a ming aura which transformed them into fiery meteors and gained immense power.

    Boom boom boom!

    The fiery meteors crashed into the Gorefiends and knocked them to the ground, returning them to theke of blood. By this time, theke mixed with fire runes were no longer their territory.

    ¡°Third domain!¡±

    A ck flower appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s hand. As he gently sent it out, the blossoming me turned into arge Death Bloom before falling down.

    ¡°No, what is this?¡±

    A Gorefiendmented, their fresh blood seemed to have lost its life energy under the Death Bloom¡¯s influence. Combine that with the falling meteors and the burningke, under these three attacks they could hardly lift their heads.

    This was an apocalyptic scene.

    Of course, the Gorefiends were powerful and had not been wiped out by Qin Feng yet. They fought hard to avoid the meteors, dragging their weakening bodies forward before finally reaching Qin Feng¡¯s side.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    A Gorefiend suddenly exploded near Qin Feng, turning into a rain of blood that threatened to cover his entire body.

    Woom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force immediately burst out and the blood could not break through the protection to invade his body.

    The Gorefiend that turned into liquid naturally felt Qin Feng¡¯s internal force and roared out.

    ¡°I don¡¯t think you¡¯llst very long!¡±

    Fwhoom!

    The Gorefiend began to wildly attack, trying to break through Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shield and invade him. Not only would he be able to kill Qin Feng, he could then also control his body and then the Divine me Imperial Robe would be theirs!

    The Divine me Imperial Robe was notpatible with the Gorefiends, but they could control human bodies to use this god armor. There was also constant infighting among the Gorefiends, trying to see who would gain the most resources. By the time they reached S-tier, the world would be their oyster.

    As such, how could they notpete?

    Qin Feng naturally knew this, but how would that matter now? If people from his realm knew that such a god armor would appear, whether it was from the Human Alliance or the Dark Coalition, they woulde and fight him over it.

    Therefore, he understood this concept and could not let them seed before he did.

    That was because there was only one treasure and it would be his. Those who tried to take it from him were the equivalent of those who tried to kill him.

    He showed no mercy to his enemies.

    Qin Feng lifted his hand and powerful fire runes appeared under his feet and rapidly rushed upward.

    Seven to eight magma pirs burst forth to crash into the Gorefiend.

    Boom!

    Pssssshhhsst!

    Arge amount of blood evaporated into mist and the Gorefiend let out a scream, finally unbinding from Qin Feng and falling away.

    Several other Gorefiends that saw this immediately fled!

    One of them was positioned in the center of the Death Bloom and was hit by five petals. Its body started to wither, the blood on it drying up, revealing its two-meter tall body.

    He did not care about the other Gorefiends, grabbing the Verdant Emperor Saber with his hand as he burst out a gout of me.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    Internal force grabbed onto the fire runes and the Divine me Imperial Robe seemed to have some kind of reaction as it unleashed a terrifying me that blended into the zing Sky move to make it even more powerful and fearsome.

    The sword¡¯s aura burst out about two meters wide as Qin Feng crossed a hundred meters in an instant to attack the weakened Gorefiend.

    Boom!

    The Gorefiend was suddenly and violently flung into a patch of magma, screaming as it turned into a dried clot of blood due to being unable to withstand the hot temperature, turning into a pile of ashes.

    Only that blood crystal managed to remain, which Qin Feng quickly grabbed and ced inside his spatial rune equipment.

    After dealing with the Gorefiend, the others had escaped thousands of meters away and left Qin Feng¡¯s effective range.

    At this time, they also unleashed their own domain move.

    ¡°Sanguine Wall: Blood Terror Pool!¡±

    Several Gorefiends unleashed their attacks and in an instant, four pools of blood more than one hundred meters wide manifested around them before they crashed into Qin Feng¡¯s Domain.

    At this time, Qin Feng¡¯s Domain was evenrger than theirs and was about a kilometer wide. Four hundred meter wide pools of blood were not enough to make him waver.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Four hits. Where the domains collided, the runes began to break apart. The uniquely blood-colored runes as well as Qin Feng¡¯s fire, earth and dark runes were rapidly falling apart.

    ¡°Earth Spike!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his earth ability and violently attacked. The massive spikes that burst from thend pierced through the pools of blood and dispersed them. Magma flowed forward and immediately evaporated the blood.

    His body suddenly moved, shing to one side. The domain shifted with him and instantly enveloped one of the Gorefiends.

    The massive domain crushed forward, and the opposing Blood Terror Pool copsed!

    The body of the Gorefiend went from being more than thirty meters long to fifteen meters long, suddenly it was reduced to half its size!

    While these Gorefiends were A-tier, they were nowhere near the one that left the spatial rift. The one in the beginning was A8-tier, while the one in front of him was only A2-tier.

    Qin Feng had abruptly raised his consciousness power by two levels,bining that with the Divine me Imperial Robe his fire ability had improved exponentially. This Gorefiend was no match against him!

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    He brought along his Fire Wall and rushed forward with his sword out ready to sh at his opponent!

    The entirety of this fight, Qin Feng obtaining the Divine me Imperial Robe and killing off two Gorefiends, only took about five minutes. This passing of time allowed the humans who managed to resist the explosion of the scepter to regain their strength.

    ¡°No matter how powerful they are, the Divine me Imperial Robe needs a lot of consciousness to use! Everyone together at once, we¡¯ll take back the Divine Robe!¡±

    At that exmation, thirty people leapt up. All of them were A-tier aptitude users.

    Thirty different domain moves were unleashed simultaneously.

    The crystal core in Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness madly rotated to fend off against these attacks. At the same time, the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand was pumped with internal force.

    ¡°Looks like there are a lot of people looking to die!¡±

 Chapter 840 - Spirit Chain Rend Rampage

    <h4>Chapter 840: Spirit Chain Rend Rampage</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was as plentiful as there was water in the sea, when condensed together it was the equivalent of an S-tier.

    What was even more terrifying was that he had mastered an S-tier martial art.

    Martial arts that had reached S-tier could take down an enemy from thousands of meters away. Now, Wanzhong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend had be Qin Feng¡¯s be-all and end-all ace up his sleeve, not something to be used until the critical moment!

    After all, unleashing S-tier martial arts was an intensively taxing maneuver.

    Right now, Qin Feng had to use it.

    In all directions were people unleashing their domain abilities and they were all people who wanted him dead.

    As such, he would show no mercy.

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend, Ten Thousand Cuts!¡±

    Qin Feng felt that his dantian had a hole opened up in it and a pool¡¯s worth of internal force began to pour out.

    One pool!

    Ten pools!

    A hundred pools!

    Based on the power of an ancient warrior, ten pools could turn into one sea¡¯s worth and ten seas were the equivalent of an S-tier.

    This one attack from Qin Feng was absolutely on par with what could be unleashed by an S-tier ancient warrior.

    In an instant, the world seemed to have changed color.

    ¡°Kraaaaaaauuuuw!¡±

    His Verdant Emperor Saber let out a humming sound and then with the addition of Qin Feng¡¯s internal force, the phantoms on it solidified and became even more threatening.

    These phantoms wildly rushed out, crossing a hundred meters!

    Qin Feng swept his Verdant Emperor Saber in a semicircr sh.

    A Gorefiend happened to be within the attack range of the Ten Thousand Cuts Spirit Rend and in the next moment the energy sh carrying phantoms tore through its blood domain and crashed into its body.

    The feeling of getting ripped into by phantoms and what felt like its soul getting pulled away made the Gorefiend cry out in distress.

    The other humans nearby that were hit by such a move also had their barrier moves destroyed and were utterly crushed under the attack.

    Pfft!

    Humans a hundred meters away were instantly sliced through by the energy de and killed!

    Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

    One after another, Qin Feng took down five in a single attack!

    Boom boom boom!

    The others were pressing their barriers in from other directions and Qin Feng did not hesitate to shift his magma with his consciousness to pressure them!

    ¡°Again!¡± He roared, brimming with murderous intent, ¡°Spirit Chain Rend, Ten Thousand Cuts!¡±

    Wherever his de pointed, enemies were turned to ashes.

    Another hundred pools worth of internal force were spent in an instant in killing these people, but there was a huge amount of consciousness and energy flowing into him, causing his consciousness to soar in strength again.

    As such, the more he killed the bolder he became, and he became fiercer the more he killed.

    sh sh sh!

    When he unleashed the Spirit Chain Rend again he emptied out 300 pools worth of internal force, but at the same time, the surrounding humans were wiped out.

    There were originally thirty A-tier aptitude users but now there were less than half, and there was not even one Gorefiend left.

    ¡°Phu...hu...¡± Qin Feng¡¯s breathing became heavier. Him unleashing a huge portion of his internal force and manipting his abilities brought an unprecedented amount of pressure onto him, as if squeezing out all of his potential.

    ¡°Hahahaha, amazing!¡±

    His gaze fell onto the remaining people, and his bloodthirsty gaze made them all back away.

    But looking closely, their eyes were once again drawn to the Divine me Imperial Robe on him, greed glittering in their gazes.

    This Divine Robe represented their imperial strength. Whoever obtained it, whoever controlled it, would be an unparalleled being.

    The humans in this realm were different from the ones in Qin Feng¡¯s. Their lifespan was even longer and the previous owner of the Divine Robe was at least a thousand years old!

    The people that charged forward were all those who were loyal to His Majesty, and those hiding in the back were all people with hidden intentions.

    Now that their cannon fodder was gone, they had to take things upon themselves!

    ¡°Whoever wants the Divine Robe will do so by their own ability!¡±

    ¡°Chaaaarge!¡±

    ¡°I am the Divine Robe¡¯s rightful owner!¡±

    A god weapon or god armor would cause countless people to try and snatch it away at any moment.

    Qin Feng faced these people¡¯s challenges and those who rushed forward would only pay one hefty price!

    And that would be: Death!

    ***

    An hourter, the central area of the ruins was a chaotic scene to behold. What was left was a scorched piece of earth.

    Whether it was humans or Gorefiends, they were burnt to ash. Nobody would remember them having been here.

    Qin Feng had killed no less than a hundred people.

    In addition to those who had rushed up earlier, there wereter some humans who appeared while possessed by Gorefiends. Qin Feng kept hunting them down and killing them all.

    Now, nobody would show up in the vicinity of ten thousand meters. Qin Feng mobilized his consciousness and began to collect the spoils.

    Those A-tier blood crystals from the Gorefiends were only something S-tiers could dream about.

    Bai Li followed suit in cleaning up the battlefield, not only that, when she stood on top of a once luxurious looking but now half-copsed pce, she felt something.

    ¡°Qin Feng,e here, there¡¯s good stuff!¡±

    Bai Li called out.

    He did not have a single trace of blood on his body this time, but after the battle his aura was still quite murderous. People who sensed it would feel that he was extremely dangerous.

    Only when Bai Li called out to him, his expression eased a little.

    ¡°Huh? What is it?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s a sealing stone over here, that means that there¡¯s got to be something worthwhile in it!¡±

    ¡°Alright, move aside!¡±

    The sealing stones were very rare. It could seal away abilities and ancient martial arts. Consciousness and internal force would quickly break away when in contact with such things. This sealing stone looked like it was only sealing up one ce, and they were used to lock up treasure vaults and not attract people¡¯s attention.

    No wonder Bai Li was so excited when she found the stone.

    As strong as the sealing stones were, they were still affected by other things. For example, the impact of the mundane firearm.

    Therefore, Qin Feng helped himself, bringing out a hand cannon from his spatial rune equipment before mounting it on his shoulder and firing.

    Boom!

    The ruin was sted apart, bricks flying away and exposing the contents inside.

    ¡°Wow!¡±

    Bai Li eximed. There looked to be crystal coins cast from the pieces of power credit ore which looked to be currency unique to this realm.

    Not only that, there was arge number of energy crystal cores, ability cores, all piled up into a small hill.

    Qin Feng thought about the elderly fellow who died earlier that people called ¡®Your Majesty¡¯. It seemed like he had discovered the treasure vault of the royal family.

    Such a huge sum of power credits was like finding money on the floor. Indeed a great fortune!

    Bai Li on her own, busy like a bee, began to quickly store away these things.

    At this moment, a man dressed in a robe and exuding light runes slowly began to approach.

    There was no hostilitying from him and even the speed of the approach seemed to be controlled appropriately. Qin Feng naturally detected the man¡¯s presence.

    He turned to look at the other.

    The man stopped in his tracks.

    ¡°I...I¡¯m not here to be your enemy!¡± The person¡¯s consciousness quickly carried forward.

 Chapter 841 - Deemed as the Emperor

    <h4>Chapter 841: Deemed as the Emperor</h4>

    This person¡¯s body was not giving off any murderous intent, nor did he look like he had much confidence, but the clothes on him looked very luxurious and he was an A-tier aptitude user. Qin Feng could see that the people in this realm, or at the very least this ruined city of this kingdom, had well-off lives.

    However, due to this the person carried himself with a hint of arrogance and disdain.

    ¡°What is it?¡±

    If they were not his enemy, then they were naturally something else, so Qin Feng had to ask.

    When the man saw that Qin Feng was not raising his de or releasing his fire ability to attack him. He immediately bucked up, straightening his back and slightly raised up his chin. ¡°I am a member of the elder parliament of this country. I am Gong Ge. Now that everyone else is dead, I have automatically taken over as the head elder. Your strength is just a tad bit weaker, no way you¡¯d be able topare to His Majesty. However, you¡¯ve gained the recognition from the Divine me Imperial Robe. While the scepter has been destroyed, I deem you our newest emperor!¡±

    The man said reluctantly, as if he was being forced to announce Qin Feng.

    Of course, the phrase ¡®You are not strong¡¯ was something that was incessantlycking in conscience when said out loud!

    If Qin Feng was not strong then why did this man not try to rece him immediately?

    Qin Feng was a B-tier on the surface but his strength was absolutely viinous and unreasonable.

    Such a person ughtering a hundred people in one go, would that not be enough to prove his strength?

    Qin Feng then sneered and said, ¡°Since I¡¯m not strong enough, what¡¯s the point of you acknowledging me? And when did I say I needed your recognition?¡±

    He nced at the man, and this gaze made head elder Gong Ge feel like he had been seen through.

    ¡°If you can be your own head elder, then you can go ahead and do it on your own. Why are you looking for me? Is it because you¡¯re scared now? Afraid that a Gorefiend would pop out of nowhere to kill you so you want to cling onto some solid ground so you don¡¯t drop? Yet, how could I hang around such a terrible team-up with an attitude like yours? You¡¯re being ridiculous!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s words pierced through the other¡¯s ruse.

    Gong Ge was thick-skinned, but he suddenly looked flushed and could only sternly say, ¡°You can¡¯t do this, if you don¡¯t want to admit it then take off the Divine Robe. It belongs to us!¡±

    ¡°Yours? Alright!¡± Qin Feng said, actually starting to take off the Divine me Imperial Robe.

    He proceeded to casually toss it toward Gong Ge¡¯s direction.

    The moment the Divine me Imperial Robe left Qin Feng¡¯s grasp it immediately burst into a raging inferno and scorching temperatures rushed over as if standing next to the surface of the Sun, and their surroundings were covered by terrifying mes.

    ¡°Aaaaieee!¡±

    Gong Ge gave a high-pitched scream and fled a hundred meters away in a fit of panic.

    The Divine me Imperial Robe did not drop to the ground, instead it floated in the air as if suspended by some kind of invisible frame, waiting for someone to put it on!

    In this copsed realm, in this ruined kingdom, nobody could wear it anymore.

    Moreover, upon seeing this, Qin Feng figured out who had probably obtained the Divine me Imperial Robe before his rebirth.

    ¡®The Divine me Imperial Robe is a fire element rune equipment, a super god armor that has its own special attunement conditions. So the person that obtains it has to be an S-tier. Among the Dark Coalition in North Africa, that could only be the Hellfire God Aysahn!

    It was unknown if that person woulde across the North African Alliance and what kind of battle would ensue.

    Qin Feng did not really know much about that news, but he understood that the following events would undoubtedly be changed with his participation.

    At this time, he was unaware of what was about to happen in the future but he would not be letting go of his firste-first-serve ideology.

    ¡°What? Didn¡¯t I give it to you? Don¡¯t you want it?¡± Qin Feng chuckled coldly.

    Gong Ge looked at the Divine me Imperial Robe and knew that this object had basically be a hot potato.

    ¡°The Divine Robe has already recognized its owner. Doing that is useless. Besides that, you¡¯ve taken our kingdom¡¯s treasure. You... you can¡¯t go, you must protect me!¡± Gong Ge said in the end, unable to say anything else. He had made himself clear, he hade to Qin Feng for defense.

    This realm was too dangerous, more dangerous than he had expected.

    Especially now, who knew what was lurking in the dark, and whether or not Gorefiends would appear. An A-tier Gorefiend was not something that he would dare take on alone.

    Qin Feng¡¯s smile had be more of a mocking smirk, but he kept his sharp tongue to himself.

    He raised a hand and took back the Divine me Imperial Robe before saying, ¡°If you want me to protect you, then sure. After all, I¡¯m a mercenary, just pay me first!¡±

    He lifted a finger, levitating a crystal clear coin made out ofpressed power credits. ¡°This kind of money, 100 million and I¡¯ll protect you for a day!¡±

    100 million was indeed not too much, but just for one day this price was worthwhile!

    If the price was too high then he was worried that the other might not be able to actually pay, who knew what the prices were in this ne?

    Gong Ge¡¯s eyes lit up and his gaze fell onto the treasure trove again. As soon as he shifted his eyes he opened his mouth to say, ¡°You can take all of these gems, that¡¯ll be enough to protect me for a year...¡±

    Qin Feng flicked the coin that was called a gem toward Gong Ge, he infused it with internal force and caused it to soar by at extreme speed. As it broke the sound barrier, Gong Ge was shocked and quickly dodged out of the way, yelling, ¡°What are you doing!?¡±

    He sneered, ¡°Stopping you from daydreaming. This isn¡¯t your money. It¡¯s already mine. If you have money, then take it out, if you don¡¯t then I don¡¯t care!¡±

    These things were buried underneath the earth, if it were not for the old man blowing himself up and for Qin Feng using his earth ability to attack earlier it would not have been discovered. Such a trove would have been lost at the battle of the Styx.

    Therefore, the fact that this man wanted to use that money as payment for his own protection was really foolish.

    The man gritted his teeth, but he knew it was useless to try these tricks so he could only begrudgingly take out his own money to pay Qin Feng.

    Just when the two had reached an ord, a crack appeared in the sky again.

    This crack began to leak out water that carried a salty pang with it.

    This was not river water. This was sea water!

    Not only that, there were countless sea beasts that were beginning to appear from it!

    ¡°This... this is too dangerous. We need to move! If we don¡¯t, then... the water is too useful for the Gorefiends!¡±

    At this time, Bai Li was shifting through all the treasures as she red at Gong Ge. ¡°Why panic?¡±

    When she turned her head, her face was full of regret. ¡°Unfortunately, it¡¯s toote. If not, we could have taken these sealing stones away and turned them into prisons!¡±

 Chapter 842 - Surrounded

    <h4>Chapter 842: Surrounded</h4>

    Bai Li was still unable to stop thinking about it. Gong Ge was startled, but within a split second, changes took ce in the surrounding.

    They were no longer at the centre of the giant pit.

    Certainly, it was Bai Li who was behind it.

    During the copse of the ruins, all visions were blocked, and one could imagine the size of it. The explosion that took ce in the central region had covered quite arge area, but it was just one tenth of the entire location, there were still a lot of humans that had survived.

    All of them ran wild toward the outside and saw the appearance of the rift. The overflowing ocean, and the countless number of sea beasts that had dropped into the giant pit.

    They were still escaping, trying to survive, but the Gorefiend was still there, threatening their lives.

    ¡°Ah! Help, Elder, help me Elder!¡±

    One of the escaping humans saw Gong Ge and instantly shouted.

    That person might not know Gong Ge, but from the morous outfit Gong Ge was wearing, it must be from the Presbyterian church. Hence, he asked Gong Ge to help.

    However, when Gong Ge saw the blood stains on that person, he was also shocked and did not allow that person toe close to him.

    A Gorefiend had upied the body of a B-tier aptitude user, and it was certainly strong and dauntless. Combined with the control of the Gorefiend, Gong Ge definitely did not want to go face to face against it.

    But he had paid his money.

    With that in mind, he felt that it was reasonable for him to hide behind Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng activated his consciousness, two sources of totally inverted abilities exploded.

    ¡°Terraform Gush!¡±

    ¡°Terraform Magma!¡±

    All of a sudden, a water pir trapped the escaping human that was asking for help. His blood was quickly drained from his body and merged into the water pir. Although he was choked, after several breaths, the water pir automatically dispersed as several blood droplets dripped onto the ground.

    The human that was chased from behind was trapped by the Terraform Magma while being engulfed in mes.

    That person was about to shout, but the Terraform Magma had shrouded around him and his voice was totally confined within it.

    With Qin Feng¡¯s capability, he could easily skip the hierarchy and kill an A-tier. To Qin Feng, B-tier aptitude users were just as weak as a helpless chick, one that could be easily killed with just a pinch.

    The Terraform Magma had instantly killed the human that was contaminated by a Gorefiend. The trapped Gorefiend immediately let out a miserable shriek while forcing his way out from the magma, trying to escape.

    But how could he escape from Qin Feng that possessed S-tier qinggong skills?

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    Qin Feng went after the Gorefiend, in less than fifty meters, Qin Feng had grabbed his target. Due to the shing speed, it was like Qin Feng had grasped the body of his opponent within the blink of an eye.

    Poof!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber swayed in swift movements, and the targeted body was instantly halved. Surprisingly, the halved Gorefiend still intended to transform into blood and escape in two different directions, but the magma that had circled the entire area had diminished the Gorefiend¡¯sst hope.

    The Gorefiend waspletely dead.

    Meanwhile, the person that was escaping earlier found out that Qin Feng was trying to save him. Also, the escapee was instantly shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s capability to kill the Gorefiend in such a short amount of time.

    The escaping human was certainly not weak either, to be able to survive for that long, he would at least be above C-tier!

    Now that Qin Feng had demonstrated such a valorous kill of the Gorefiend, the escaping person was like a drowning person that had found a floating log, holding tight onto it.

    ¡°Thank you, thank you, Master!¡± That person did not know who Qin Feng was, but recognizing somebody that was more powerful as a master was totally appropriate!

    ¡°Hmm!¡± Qin Feng nodded and did not care much about that person as he led Gong Ge to move forward.

    Certainly, that person immediately followed him.

    Gong Ge held on to his question. It was obviously unfathomable, why was he required to pay for protection, but that person was not required to?

    He was unaware that Qin Feng was not that obsessed with money at all, his demand of money from Gong Ge was purely because Gong Ge had treated him like a fool, and he had to teach him a lesson. If others were to ask for help, Qin Feng would be more than willing to help.

    The reason was because of the potential of attracting the appearance of more Gorefiends, and it would allow Qin Feng to ughter mercilessly.

    ¡°Let¡¯s leave this ce, the ruins are piled with too many human bodies, blood is everywhere, and Gorefiends might appear at any time!¡± Qin Feng conveyed with his consciousness, Gong Ge and the other person immediately nodded. However, Qin Feng did not instruct Bai Li to release her spatial ability, and they were just slowly killing their way out.

    Gong Ge did not know that Bai Li was capable of using her abilities continuously, he obeyed themand as he thought that she was only able to perform it once.

    But as he turned and looked toward the central region, ocean water was still pouring down, and the water pool in the giant pit hadpletely turned blood-red. The horrifying scene forced Gong Ge to speed up, and he wished he could just rush out from that ce.

    However, his attire was too eye-catching.

    ¡°Elder, yes Elder Gong Ge!¡±

    ¡°Quick, gather up, let¡¯s rush out together!¡±

    ¡°Thank God, for allowing me to meet with our elder!¡±

    ¡°Save me, I do not want to die!¡±

    The refugees were reunited with their group, and their number was surging. Within a blink of an eye, Qin Feng was already leading more than fifty people. Their capabilities varied, and the most powerful one was only a B-tier aptitude user. Most of the A-tiers had died in the central region.

    Gong Ge wanted to take off his robe so badly. He did not want to be recognized, and he was even more desperate to leave the ce than the others!

    Unfortunately, the number of people was still surging, and as they moved outward, more humans were being invaded by the Gorefiends in the copsed housings. Fresh blood flowed out and the soil of the ruins was dyed red.

    When they were close to the edge, the crowd had expanded to more than three hundred people, but they were surrounded by Gorefiends from all directions.

    ¡°We are... surrounded!!!!¡±

    One person eximed with a trembling voice, filled with a little despair.

    The copsing region had caused the entire city to sink into an unknown region, and only aptitude users were able to survive. Most of the crowds of civilians had jumped off from the sky and fallen to their deaths, none of them were able to survive.

    They were buried in the ruins, and the remaining survivors would definitely not seek them. Only the Gorefiends would devour their fresh blood, and control their corpses to amplify their own energy.

    Hence, the massive amount of Gorefiend puppets was all in a bloodbath, and they were targeting the crowd that Qin Feng was leading.

    All of them were their final dinner to feast on!

    Killing those people was the most exciting revelry for the Gorefiends!

    Meanwhile, even Gong Ge¡¯s voice was trembling. Even with his A-tier capabilities, when facing thousands and tens of thousands of Gorefiends, there was not even a bit of hope left.

    ¡°What now?¡±

    Gong Ge looked toward Qin Feng, like he had deposited all his hope unto him. He had entrusted his life onto that person!

    However, not only did Qin Feng not express even a little sorrow, but he had a small smile on his lips.

 Chapter 843 - Still the Same Move

    <h4>Chapter 843: Still the Same Move</h4>

    From the devastated ruins, corpses in the bloodke began to rise. Not only the awful smell that lingered in the air, even the constantly overflowing blood from the buildings was depressing.

    Despite the uneven ground around the area, those that passed by had stained the entire area blood-red!

    The world was being invaded by Gorefiends, even the only remaining survivor had fallen into despair.

    As consciousness was expanded across the area, more and more Gorefiends were detected.

    Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand...

    Within the thousand-meter coverage of consciousness, it was densely-filled with the presence of Gorefiends that were invading human corpses.

    Not to mention that the Gorefiends were capable of multiplying their control onto seven to eight people. When calcted, the presence of the Gorefiends had definitely grown to three to five thousand.

    There was nowhere else to escape.

    Even the road ahead had already been dyed into red colour. None of them dared to step forward as now they knew that once they hade into contact with fresh blood, the only oue would be death!

    What do they do?

    It seemed to be a helpless situation.

    But at that moment, only Qin Feng was delighted by the situation!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness expanded to its limit, and the coverage was extended to the maximum.

    Three thousand meters!

    It was Qin Feng¡¯s limit at that time.

    Although his internal strength was much more powerful, when facing against Gorefiends from all directions, even his Spirit Chain Rend might not perform at its fullest potential.

    But there was still an undefeatable method for him to secure the win!

    ¡°Dark Wall!¡±

    As soon as Qin Feng activated the ability, a flow of intense and breath-taking runes began to explode from his body. It formed a dark light pir, instantly shooting up to the sky, and it was about a hundred meter in height.

    Also, immediately after it had struck into the sky and seemed to have touched the clouds, it was then dyed in ck, forming into oppressing dark clouds before evolving into a swirling vortex that was constantly expanding.

    The coverage was exactly three thousand meters.

    At that moment, even those that were following beside Qin Feng were spooked out of their minds. It was like the protector that they had been following was an unrivalled devil, he was like an untouchable and horrifying presence that they could not afford to offend.

    Gong Ge was a light ability user, he even wished that he could jump up and keep a far distance from Qin Feng.

    However, Qin Feng was too quick with his actions.

    The dark clouds and vortex had expanded up to three thousand meters. It then descended from the sky with the exact feeling of being suppressed by dark clouds that would destroy an entire city.

    The sudden descent had instantly surrounded every Gorefiend-controlled corpse within the radius of three thousand meters.

    Blood on the ground was instantly drained out from their life energy. It was no longer in fresh red colour. It had turned into dark burgundy red, slowly fading into dark brown, and then transitioning into the state of death and decay.

    While the blood remained within the body of the undead puppets, they began to wither, and their full-bodied flesh began to decay. Even those that were hit by the copsed buildings were no longer covered in blood, their white-coloured bones were revealed, like they had been dead for a long time.

    Presence of darkness filled the entire atmosphere.

    Qin Feng then finally proimed hisstmand!

    ¡°Myriad Corpses Descend!¡±

    The dark wall would most probably be the most significant deration for him to dominate the entire Blood River Realm, it was definitely an overkill move!

    An unexpected move to conquer the world!

    It was definitely impossible for the Gorefiends of the Blood River Realm to ovee the move.

    ¡°Aow aow aow aow!¡±

    Continuous miserable shrieks were heard from the puppets while their bodies were twisted, they had no choice but to escape from the puppets!

    They began to flee, but the saturated blood within their bodies was gradually contaminated by the dark presence. The further they escaped, the more dirt was left behind, and their bodies continued to shrink even smaller.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng would definitely not allow them to escape!

    ¡°Kill them!¡±

    Qin Feng gave hismand from his consciousness.

    Thirty thousand undead puppets moved their stiff limbs and wrapped themselves around the Gorefiends, allowing them to feel the presence of the wall while dying. They were able to feel the dark destructive force, and the feeling of being gradually decayed into rotten flesh.

    The entanglements between the undead puppets and the Gorefiends were the true representation of hell.

    Meanwhile, at the centre spot, there were a few hundred survivors that stood on top of fallen ruins that were covered by yellow soil. It was like their entire surroundings had been cleared off as there was no dark rune invasion. It was as if they were the forgotten ones that had be the favoured child of God, those that did not fall into hell.

    But they knew that the entire situation was controlled by the men before them.

    They were grateful to have the unexpected aid provided by Qin Feng, such a powerful figure, however, at the same time, they were struck by a different thought.

    Fear!

    Those that were saved by others might feel grateful at that moment, but it would notst for an entire lifetime.

    But when a person feared someone else, it wouldst forever!

    Qin Feng did not intend to purposely showcase his dark abilities, but it was the true depiction of his capability.

    It was the same reason for the Human Alliance to force most of the dark ability users into the Dark Coalition. Indeed, abilities unleashed by them were too frightening, too horrifying!

    If those humans were not Gorefiend-controlled corpses, Qin Feng¡¯s dark wall could have wiped out tens of thousands of human lives, and it would be uneptable by the Human Alliance.

    Meanwhile, the chaotic battle onlysted for a short period, and there were more than three thousand Gorefiends that were killed by Qin Feng.

    Confined within the dark wall, energy from all dead creatures were absorbed by the Absorption Ability. Even those dead humans that were controlled by Gorefiends would have remaining energy within their bodies, and all of those also benefited Qin Feng.

    All of a sudden, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness spiked again!

    Initially, Qin Feng regretted not absorbing consciousness from the Divine me Imperial Robe Elder and the S-tier Gorefiend, but now, all of those losses werepensated by therge volume of absorption.

    It was only the first day at the Blood River Realm, and Qin Feng had already experienced multiple breakthroughs.

    His consciousness had once again advanced to a new height.

    B7-tier!

    Such a breakthrough,bined with its explosive presence, had caused humans present around the scene to have greater fear toward Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng felt another advancement in his consciousness. His control within the three-thousand-meter radius had achieved another breakthrough.

    ¡°Explode!¡±

    Qin Feng controlled his dark runes and triggered explosions on all of those corpses, while an unidentified number of decayed corpses instantly fell to the ground.

    Of course, the follow up would be Qin Feng¡¯s move to summon countless numbers of energy crystal cores!

    There were at least three thousand blood crystals, and thirty to forty thousand energy crystal cores. All of those were concentrated and solidified from the corpses of the dead!

    Qin Feng gathered all of those into his spatial rune equipment.

    ¡°Retrieve!¡±

    Dark runes began to revert back to the sky in its counter clockwise swirling movement, merging into the ck light pir that was connected back to the centre between Qin Feng¡¯s eyebrow. The return to the consciousness realm was thenpleted.

    If it were not because of the decaying smell that lingered in the air, nobody would have believed that the scene was handled by one person.

    Danger had definitely been resolved!

 Chapter 844 - Wild Imagination

    <h4>Chapter 844: Wild Imagination</h4>

    Unidentified numbers of corpses were piled up on the ruins, even the ground was covered in pitch-ck colour.

    Sha sha sha!

    Walking footsteps were heard as all attention was diverted, some among the crowd were even caught by a great shock and started moving forward!

    But soon, they noticed that the moving person was actually Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng had already stepped out for more than ten meters away. He stepped onto the pitch-cknd. The colour was not from the original colour of thend, but the colour of dried out fresh blood, corroded by dark abilities.

    Qin Feng walked on it without any fear. After several steps, he noticed that nobody was following from behind, and he turned around.

    ¡°What now? Waiting for the other Gorefiends to catch up?¡±

    The three-thousand-meter coverage was definitely incapable of shrouding the entire ruin. Perhaps it could only cover up to one tenth of the entire area, and it was also possible for Gorefiends to be present at the uncovered areas!

    Then, all of those humans jerked back to their senses and instantly followed up.

    Qin Feng also began to move faster and led the crowd of more than three hundred people out from the ruins, and into a massive field.

    However, the external world was struck by a bloody massacre, and it had amplified the despair within those who had escaped from death. It was like their fortunate escape and fluctuating emotions that had led them into a living hell.

    However, Qin Feng was obviously prepared for it.

    ¡°Tectonic Barrier!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s earth ability exploded and earth runes rose from the ground, instantly establishing into a fortress that was more than twenty meters in height. It was like a tall tower being set upright on the field.

    The structure of the tower was in yellow, totally different from the surrounding blood-red colour.

    ¡°Just go up. If any of you are earth ability users, build yourself a room, at least you will be able to survive longer. I will be taking care of cleaning up the surroundings as I do not belong here. All of you should know that I can only provide my protection for a day, nothing more than that!¡±

    Qin Feng channelled from his consciousness.

    Qin Feng had remained silent all the time. As he was dressed very differently from everyone in the realm, all of the doubts they had were now answered, but it had also triggered the unavoidable fear.

    Qin Feng¡¯s hurried departure also indicated that they were still safe for the moment, and they did not have a reason to ask Qin Feng to stay. Gong Ge¡¯s expression changed as he sank into deep thoughts, but did not voice out to retain Qin Feng.

    Hence, Qin Feng left the fortress. The exhausted survivors felt that they were temporarily safe, and were finally able to rx and rest.

    ¡°Get up, this is not the time to rest. Earth ability users have to quickly build more rooms. We are not supposed to gather all of these people here. If the Gorefiends were tounch another attack, we would be choked to death here!¡±

    ¡°Enforce more control toward this earth fortress!¡±

    ¡°Release the water ripples, execute scanning procedures, get into action!¡±

    Gong Ge immediately assigned missions and conveyed the chain ofmand. None of them had anyints as Gong Ge was the most powerful person around, and he was the first person who followed Qin Feng. All of them believed that he had a special tie with Qin Feng.

    Some of them began to expand their territories to secure better living spaces, while some of them stayed close to Gong Ge and began questioning him.

    ¡°Elder, the outsider, who is he, how could he be so powerful?¡± As Bai Li was not involved, and she was dressed quite simrly to fit into their realm, they thought that Bai Li was a native. Now that they were unable to recall Bai Li¡¯s looks, they had unconsciously ignored her presence!

    Gong Ge exined, ¡°Should be a native from this realm!¡±

    ¡°How could he be so powerful, and what ce are we at actually?¡±

    ¡°Perhaps this is just a different ce, or an extremely dangerous ce. That person is here to train himself, and conveniently extended his help to save us!¡±

    ¡°I also feel the same way, we can ask for that person¡¯s help to bring us out from here!¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    The discussion intensified, while Gong Ge also had the same doubt in mind.

    For Qin Feng to be so powerful and capable of going against the Gorefiends, it was obvious that he was not with the Gorefiends. With such a messed-up situation, they must have arrived through a spatial rift and fallen into a realm that had the most dire situation. As long as they could leave the ce, they would still be able to survive.

    With that in mind, Gong Ge regained his confidence.

    He hummed and continued to exin, ¡°To be frank, I was the one who first met him. The reason for him to save me, it was because he is a mercenary. I spent a hundred million gems to hire him for protection for a day, which was what he had mentioned, and I suspect that he still wishes to be paid more. Also, it will definitely be a huge sum, and the remaining amount that I have now...¡±

    Gong Ge faked a troubled expression.

    Meanwhile, the others gasped in shock.

    A hundred million gems were definitely nothing to Gong Ge, but not for the others. Perhaps it might be affordable by a B-tier as it would only be one fifth of the total family asset. Some of them were even carrying the wealth of the entire n, and for them to pay that amount to save their own lives, it would definitely be worth it.

    But for those C-tiers, and D-tiers, there was only despair as they would definitely be unable to afford such an amount!

    ¡°Elder, that person, what is his expected amount, let us all contribute to it?¡±

    ¡°If he were to count a hundred million for each person, what about the others?¡±

    ¡°Look at the situation that we are in, can you try to be more selfless? How many more fellows do we have now?¡±

    There were only three hundred refugees that had escaped from the city, some of them felt sorry for the others and did not want to abandon those low=tier aptitude users!

    ¡°Alright, let me contribute the first ten billion, all of you can figure out the contribution for the remaining twenty billion!¡±

    The others hesitated a little but still nodded in agreement. There were more than fifty B-tiers present so four hundred million gems contributed from each of them would already suffice. However, the sum was almost the entire portion of their asset so they would definitely not pay for the entire sum. Hence, those C-tier and D-tier aptitude users that managed to escape were forced to fork out all they had. Not only that, formation into different teams took ce immediately. They were all led by those B-tier aptitude users, and of course, they were all spearheaded by Gong Ge.

    Hence, Gong Ge instantly gathered everyone under a giantwork of beneficial ties.

    Twenty billion gems were collected, but Gong Ge did not intend to genuinely hand over the entire thirty billion to Qin Feng. He was even nning to bargain a lower price with Qin Feng to lead their escape from the ce.

    Qin Feng did not capture the content of the discussion between Gong Ge and the others. Even if he had found out about it, he would still ignore it with total contempt.

    The reason was because the entire Blood River Realm was in the same situation. Where else could all of them escape to?

    Could it be that they would have to escape to the realm that Qin Feng came from?

    How could that be possible!

    Even if Qin Feng would agree to it, perhaps the other humans would disagree!

 Chapter 845 - The Appearance of an S-tier

    <h4>Chapter 845: The Appearance of an S-tier</h4>

    Qin Feng did not leave immediately after he had helped these people settle down. Instead, he prepared an ambush around the fort.

    The fortress was like a beacon in this world, beckoning any human survivor to venture to it. When the Gorefiends saw the humans running in the open, they would chase after them to the fort. Qin Feng, naturally, would then kill all of the pursuing Gorefiends.

    To the humans, this fortress was the only safe ce they could go. To Qin Feng, this was the best hunting ground. As long as he remained here, Qin Feng could keep on killing the Gorefiends.

    Of course, the Gorefiends were growing stronger too. They only needed blood to keep on growing. And when the world copsed, most humans that were stranded here were merely civilians who had little means of defending themselves. In a few quick strikes, these humans would die and bleed out a lot of blood. Hunting these weaklings was the Gorefiends¡¯ quickest way to grow stronger.

    Not only that, they could also multiply via cell-separation.

    Hence, even though Qin Feng had in numerous Gorefiends, their number did not dwindle at all¡ªinstead, their number went up!

    The members of the Fengli Organization did not dare to venture into the ruins. However, they could find a lot of ultra beast corpses around the ruins¡¯ edges. These corpses¡¯ blood had beenpletely sucked dry by the Gorefiends. As such, these bodies had little value to the Gorefiends.

    However, to the members of the Fengli Organization, these corpses were treasures. Therefore, they collected all these corpses. To them, the more they collected these treasures the better; this was why they hoped that the headquarters would send more people down to aplish this.

    Still, after witnessing how dangerous these Gorefiends were, the Fengli Organization deemed it too risky to send more people to aid them. After all, this ce was so treacherous that even A-tiers needed to be extra cautious when venturing the area!

    Nheless, these employees still kept on collecting and salvaging the corpses. They kept on working tirelessly because they knew this was all worth it. The ce was literally a treasure cove!

    In just one day, they had umted a great deal of treasures and sent them all back to base using their highly advanced aircrafts.

    The Fengli Organization was the winner yet again by the end of the day.

    Then, night came. The whole world was enveloped in pure, crimson darkness. Even the moon in the sky was red in color.

    Aside from that, there was also an eerie, hidden power that loomed the night, curing and repairing the nts that had been destroyed in the day.

    Looking at the spooky blood moon, Qin Feng realized that this entire phenomenon in the Blood River Realm was caused by this massive moon.

    And the logic behind this was something Qin Feng could never work out. It was beyond humanprehension why this could happen.

    On the second day, Gong Ge approached Qin Feng with a proposal.

    ¡°What¡¯s this? 1 billion credits? You want me to escort you out with this money as a reward?¡± Qin Feng smirked, ¡°In your dreams, mate. And lemme tell you. Your spections about this whole realm were all wrong.¡±

    If Qin Feng were some newbie who had juste to this realm, he would think the same like them too. However, Qin Feng had the memory from before he was re-born. As such, he knew that the entire Blood River Realm was like this¡ªmutated, red nts and Gorefiends.

    Right now, as another realm crashed into this world, this realm finally had some life breathed into it. However, these newly arrived creatures could not survive in this Blood River Realm. There was water. No food. No shelter.

    Right now, this fortress was not just a secured location for the humans, it was also a prison!

    ¡°Mr Qin, perhaps my money is a little low to ask this much of you. Would you help me if I pay you 2 billion? 3 billion? No... I¡¯ll pay you 5 billion credits! Would this work?¡± Gong Ge did not give up and kept trying to persuade Qin Feng. Of course, every time he raised the reward, he would then earn less from this venture, making it mentally painful for him every single time he raised the offer.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, was not interested at all. Instead, he outright rejected Gong Ge and left the ce the next day¡ªthere was another dimensional crack appearing on the other side of the realm and many ultra beasts were flooding in from that side. This meant that the Gorefiends would congregate to that side now.

    Still, thanks to the dark runes that were left scattered around by Qin Feng when he was ying the Gorefiends, the Gorefieds did not dare to go near the fortress.

    After Qin Feng left, Cleaves and his gang finally arrived too.

    When they saw these new machines¡¯ arrival, Gong Ge and his people were stunned. Their original realm did not have high-tech machines like these.

    After doing some investigation, Gong Ge and his men fell into despair again after learning that Cleaves too was an outsider.

    ¡°If everything outside has be like this, there¡¯s no way we could leave!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s just wait it out a little longer. At least we¡¯re safe here!¡±

    ¡°But... our food supply has reached an all-time low!¡±

    ¡°Sh*t! And we can¡¯t find anything that¡¯s edible in this realm too... when there¡¯s another dimensional crack, we must go out and hunt a few ultra beasts!¡±

    Hence, these people could only live on in this realm under such terrible conditions. The Fengli Organization was the first to discover their existence; so, under Qin Feng¡¯s orders, they sold some grains to these people with a steep price.

    Still, Gong Ge and his men were not entirely conned by Qin Feng. These grains contained a great amount of energy in them! Hence, the price was somewhat fair.

    ***

    A weekter, news about Blood River Realm spread like wildfire. There was news that the ability user that killed the Gorefiends had consumed the blood concentrated crystals and noticed that his lifespan had been increased!

    Upon learning this, every single high-tier hermit hade out of their hiding!

    No matter how powerful one had be, a short lifespan was still a human¡¯s greatest curse.

    Thus, no matter how rightful they felt that this entrance to Blood River Realm belonged to them, the North African Republic Alliance could not stop anyone from venturing into this realm.

    How could they stop these people? Every single one of these people were powerful behemoths that seemingly came from their deepest fears.

    At the Styx¡¯s shore, the people who were salvaging the corpses in the river suddenly felt a freezing chill in their surroundings. This was not an illusion. In fact, they saw snow starting to fall from the sky as the river began to freeze up.

    Then, from afar, they could see a grey-hair man walking on the frozen Styx. He looked like he was taking a rxing stroll on the river¡ªevery step he took was slow and nonchnt. However, each step brought him hundreds of meters forward. Everywhere he went, his surroundings were frozen like it was back to the Ice Age.

    Seeing this, the prospectors who were salvaging the corpses too stopped their tasks and stared at the old man. From afar, it seemed like they too were frozen solid too.

    They could not move at all upon seeing this man. It was like an instinct telling them to be fearful of this old man, like a deer staring at a train¡¯s headlight.

    The old man then walked straight into the dimensional crack from the Styx, without wearing any protective gear at all.

    Still, everyone felt that this old man did not really need the gears.

    Because this old man was someone perhaps stronger than an S-tier.

    If Qin Feng were here, he would definitely recognize this old man.

    They had met once.

    The old man was Hu San¡ªthe protector of the Northern Region!

    When everyone thought they could finally rx after seeing Hu San entering the Blood River Realm, they felt that the original freezing temperature had suddenly skyrocketed by several dozen Degree Celsius! The Styx was not frozen anymore. In fact, the river¡¯s water appeared to be boiling hot! Some people¡¯s clothes were even caught up in a ze.

    They quickly took off their burning apparels in shock.

    ¡°Argh!! It¡¯s so hot! What¡¯s going on?!¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s that...?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s... huh?! There¡¯s another one?!¡±

 Chapter 846 - Chu Fanâ€™s Theories

    <h4>Chapter 846: Chu Fan¡¯s Theories</h4>

    Then, the heat began to rise greater and greater. Suddenly, a fiery ball exploded in the middle of the river. Some prospectors that were standing nearby werepletely vaporized!

    In the thick fog of burning vapors in the middle of the Styx, they saw a man cloaked in wild, violent mes. The ice that was formed on the Styx waspletely vaporized alongside the river water around the man.

    ¡°Huh, that old prick is here? This old fart has woken up and walked out of his ice coffin. That¡¯s new. Is he finally not afraid of death?¡±

    The man had skin as dark as the ebony. He had a spread of ghastly grin on his face, showcasing his pure white teeth.

    Then, he went into the dimensional crack in one leap.

    After seeing the man leave, the prospectors and people who were on-looking by the river finally opened their mouths while trembling in fear.

    ¡°... It¡¯s the Hellfire Ifrit!¡±

    ¡°Ayshan! That man is definitely Ayshan!!¡±

    ¡°Should we inform the boss? Ayshan is here! It¡¯s gotten really dangerous now!¡±

    ¡°Perhaps... we should do that after an hour... who knows, maybe Hellfire Ifrit would just leave the entrance alone...¡±

    These men were overwhelmed by fear. They were afraid of this man¡ªthe most powerful entity in the North African Republic Alliance.

    A momentter, a few S-tiers too had arrived. There were some that were renown and infamous throughout the world; there were also some that were literally unknown to the world.

    Naturally, this news had spread quickly into the Blood River Realm too.

    ***

    In the Blood River Realm.

    Humans had worked together with the North African Republic Alliance to take on the Gorefiends and mutant nts in the bloodbath warzone. Inspired by Qin Feng, these people gradually had their own bases of influence in this realm.

    However, the Fengli Organization¡ªthe first group that ventured into this realm had already dwelled deeper into the realm and away from the bloodbath warzone. The Fengli Organization¡¯s aircraft had now journeyed so deep that they were looming above the Gorefiends¡¯ habitat.

    The resources around there were scarcer than the entrance of the realm; however, there was less fighting happening here.

    This, of course, was all expected.

    After a huge dimensional crack like that happening, this would inevitably have attracted the attention of many. And as many people congregated at the realm¡¯s entrance, battles would break out. This was why and how the bloodbath warzone was formed.

    And as more and more fighting happened, Gorefiends too had greatly multiplied in number. This meant that the Gorefiends had mostly flocked to the dimensional cracks and away from their original habitat.

    Still, even though there were not as many Gorefiends in this area, the mutant nts were still very vicious.

    Suddenly, a spatial tunnel was torn open in the sky before a small aircraft flew into view. The aircraft then approached Qin Feng¡¯s aircraft and docked into it.

    A group of men cloaked in whiteb coats walked onto Qin Feng¡¯s deck. These men were not particrly strong in presence; but they had a manic confidence spreading across their face.

    They were the researchers that came from Fengli¡¯s headquarters. And their leader was a young boy¡ªChu Fan.

    Chu Fan¡¯s small aircraft was a special model¡ªspecifically remodeled to be both a transport and ab. The purpose of Chu Fan¡¯s visit was to report on his research findings to Qin Feng.

    Flipping through the research papers presented to him, Qin Feng¡¯s face turned stern.

    Chu Fan was definitely a genius. He could very well be smarter than Z. The new awakening serum that he had developed was so effective that it reached 100% chance of awakening in normal human beings.

    However, there was something mentioned in the papers that bothered Qin Feng.

    ¡°So, you¡¯re saying that this serum isn¡¯t suitable for every human? And if I¡¯m reading this correctly, it would be better for them to just acquire their powers in the ovepped space? But this would mean that they would not learn to use their internal energy and consciousness¡ªawakening only their physical strength...¡±

    The ultra beast corpses that they had brought back were thoroughly studied. As a result, they discovered a unique mold on them. This mold could trap energy in it and change a human¡¯s body. When absorbed, the human body would be altered and attain the ability to absorb energies. They could then acquire energy by devouring anything that was brimming with energies or runes, resulting in the body bing powerful and resilient.

    However, there was a catch¡ªthis would only strengthen their bodies and awaken their physical potentials, but not awaken their internal energy and consciousness.

    The good part about this way of awakening was that one could keep on getting more and more energy like this without fail¡ªas long as they kept on devouring energy.

    Due to the mold¡¯s influence, no one could harness internal and conscious energies in the Fettering Lands.

    The researchers had an interesting hypothesis as to how this happened. They theorized that this mold had the ability to absorb and lock internal energy and runes within them in order to strengthen the physical elements of a living creature¡¯s body. It had gically altered every living being in the Fettering Land to be energy ckholes that kept on absorbing energies and runes around them.

    This meant that as long as the mold and the creatures they created existed in the Fettering Land, there would be no internal energy and runes found in the air. If one needed to acquire power, he would need to devour another living being.

    This was why the ability users and ancient warriors felt as though their bodies werepletely restricted¡ªas though their powers were chained up.

    What a depressing world!

    If they were to release this version of serum¡ªthe serum that was created from these molds... would it mean that a few yearster their own realm would be like the Fettering Land too?

    Chu Fan, however, was not too worried about the repercussions. He smirked, ¡°We humans are not even an overlord species in our own realm. Is there really any room for us to consider all these nuances? Just take all these theories with a grain of salt, alright? Think about it. Before the End-times, the human race was studying to learn about the lifespan of the sun. They feared that if the sun had exhausted its lifespan, the Sr System would then copse and humans would die along with it. Yet, before they could worry about that, the End-times happened. So, even if it could happen, we would never live to see the day our realm bes another Fettering Land.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps. But is there really no way to solve this?¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s an easy way to solve this. This is also why I¡¯vee.¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡±

    ¡°Spatial Ovep and Copse! It¡¯s a really fascinating research problem to dwell on! Why has our realm entered an era where dimensional cracks are appearing everywhere? Is this because of these energies being awakened in our realm? Or is it because these other realms¡¯ energies had spiked so much that it caused a massive energy imbnce in their worlds? This is all too fascinating to not research on!¡±

    Qin Feng was speechless after learning what Chu Fan had on his mind. Perhaps, this was the fervent passion of a scientist¡ªthe passion to discover the truth of the world!

    ¡°Well, you are free to research this on your own.¡±

    Qin Feng did not want to dwell on this topic with Chu Fan. If Z were here, he might actually react with smugness due to how much normie of a reaction that Qin Feng was disying here.

    Chu Fan too had seen Qin Feng¡¯s reaction. He lifted his face proudly. ¡°I still have some goodies that I¡¯ve brought with me though. Are you sure you¡¯re not interested at all?¡±

    Qin Feng raised his eyebrow.

    He did not urge or ask the boy to show it to him. Chu Fan had specifically brought the stuff here to show him. So, there was no worry that the boy would not show it to him.

    Chu Fan rolled an eye at Qin Feng before opening up his pocket dimension and pulling out a gun.

    The gun literally looked like a toy¡ªlike a water gun.

    There was a bottle-like cartridge loaded up in the gun¡ªinside the cartridge was some kind of blue-colored liquid.

    ¡°Technology can change a society. President Qin, you will not find any weapon better than this gun in this realm.¡±

    Qin Feng stared at the blue liquid for a moment. Then, a thought hit him.

    It was the blood coagnt!

    He did not think Chu Fan was able to invent this thing so quickly!

 Chapter 847 - The Frozen Hu San

    <h4>Chapter 847: The Frozen Hu San</h4>

    Chu Fan was indeed a genius.

    The blood coagnt was something simr to the ice bullets that Qin Feng had used against the enemies in the Cinderst Dimension. These things could freeze up blood and in turn make the Gorefiends frozen solid. This would thenpletely disarm these creatures and remove their abilities to infect humans.

    ¡°Not bad!¡± Qin Feng nodded and received the gun from Chu Fan.

    Finished with his report, Chu Fan decided to carry on with his research on the Spatial Copse. Before leaving, Chu Fan asked, ¡°CEO, are you sure you want to release this new awakening serum? Z seems to think there is a w in our research.¡±

    Qin Feng frowned.

    This serum could 100% awaken a human¡¯s abilities without side effects. And yet, Z thought that there was a w?

    Then, Qin Feng recalled how Z released the ck dragon.

    ¡°To be frank, I think so too. If humans were to rely only on their physical strength... it would make the species too weak.¡±

    And Qin Feng meant well too.

    He had trained his body to be as powerful as a beast emperor. He was already a very powerful entity. And yet, he still thought that he was not strong enough.

    His body was still human. Any de could still cut through him¡ªmuch like how no ultra beast could withstand the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Humans were still too weak. Weapons could hurt them; and only energies and runes were their strongest assets.

    Upon hearing Qin Feng¡¯s words, Chu Fan was stunned.

    A momentter, he pulled himself together and walked out the door.

    Before he closed the door, Chu Fan said, ¡°What a surprise. You and Z actually agree with one another!¡±

    Qin Feng was not surprised by this realization though.

    After all, awakening the entire human race was his dream too. And Qin Feng hoped that he could realize this in his lifetime.

    Beep! Beep! Beep!

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator sounded loudly.

    Qin Feng raised hismunicator and was shocked to see the name appearing on the screen. Next to the name was a big, ring ¡°S-tier¡±!

    Qin Feng immediately epted the call.

    Then, an ordinary looking old man appeared. Taking the smoking pipe out of his mouth, the old man breathed out a thread of foggy smoke.

    They had not seen each other for half a year. The old man seemed to have aged a lot during this time too.

    ¡°Mr Hu San!¡± Qin Feng greeted the old man respectfully.

    Hu San saved his life by defeating Z for him back then. He even helped negotiate with Z to give Qin Feng three years to live. Qin Feng owed Hu San his life.

    ¡°Qin Feng, do you have this thing?¡±

    Hu San raised his hand and revealed a crimson red crystal core about the size of a B-tier core.

    Qin Feng had never met Hu San before he was reborn. As such, he did not know just how many S-tiers had arrived at the Blood River Realm. Right now, it seemed that Hu San was the only one who had arrived.

    ¡°Of course I do! How many do you want?¡± Qin Feng did not beat around the bush. He had not much use for these blood concentrated crystals. There was very little these crystals could benefit him; however, they were quite invaluable to the elderlies.

    Other than the S-tier blood concentrated crystal, Qin Feng did not think he could acquire anything better for himself. He actually thought about selling the crystals when he got back home.

    ¡°You have a lot of these on you?¡±

    Hu San looked at Qin Feng in surprise

    Many had ventured into this realm. However, not many were killing the Gorefiends. On the contrary, many were killed by these bloody monsters.

    Other than that, this world had some rather fearsome ultra beasts too¡ªlike the C-tier Ichortoids, Vampire Bats and Blood Vultures.

    ¡°Yeah! I have five A-tier ones with me here. Other than that, I have around fifty B-tier ones too!¡±

    Hu San stared at Qin Feng in silence, as though trying to see through his mind and dig out his secrets.

    Then...

    ¡°Good! Good!¡±

    Before this, Hu San was trying to protect a new prodigy, hoping that this new prodigy would one day rise to be an S-tier. Of course, it was not easy for the Huaxia Alliance to foster a new S-tier.

    If he was not actively moving around the world, Hu San mostly spent his days in hibernation. Well, his body was forced into hibernation while still having his mind wide awake. He was too old and frail now. And there were some prevailing wounds that he had on him from years of fighting.

    After his body went into hibernation, Hu San sent his consciousness into the consciousness world to pick up on thetest news. So, naturally, he had learned a lot about Qin Feng¡¯s feats. Still, this was the first time he had witnessed the young man¡¯s achievement with his own eyes.

    ¡°I¡¯m not familiar with this realm, boy. Come find me! I¡¯m near that ruin¡ªnear that fortress. Well, I suppose that fortress was made by you too.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir! I¡¯ll head there right away!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately summoned Bai Li after hanging up hismunicator. In an instant, they teleported to the fortress.

    There were a lot of humans in the fortress. In fact, there was not just one fortress in the area anymore. The humans who came from Qin Feng¡¯s world too had built their own fortresses near his fortress.

    The humans from the North African Republic Alliance, on the other hand, built their fortresses in a straight line¡ªlike how they did alongside the Styx.

    He could see that many people were now camping around the fortresses. Some people were even using money to exchange for food. It felt as though they were not doing an expedition in a perilous realm anymore¡ªinstead, they were here for pic.

    Qin Feng saw that Gong Ge and Cleaves were warmly talking to one another¡ªperhaps these two were on friendly terms because they were both light ability users.

    After a quick scan of the area, Qin Feng noticed a patch of snowynd nearby. There was a small house in the middle of the snow. No one dared to get close to the snow. They could sense that cold, freezing aura that was radiating around the house and wanted to steer far away from it.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li quickly zoomed over and approached the snowy house.

    Other humans instinctively swiped their heads toward their direction!

    An S-tier tended to attract attention wherever they went. If one were able to get on their good side, they could acquire great power and wealth. However, if one were to offend an S-tier, it could invite wrath upon them.

    An S-tier was like the sun to these people.

    And no one dared to touch the sun.

    These people did not get to meet the S-tier in person. However, the freezing snow around the house that would freeze anything that got near was enough to discourage them from getting close.

    However, these people were shocked to find out that Qin Feng and Bai Li were unfazed by the freezing snow at all. Instead, they walked straight into the snowy house unharmed.

    ¡°Mr Hu San!¡±

    The moment they walked through the door, Qin Feng could see Hu San sitting on a chair. The old man was seemingly resting his eyes while ice enveloped his entire body. In fact, his entire presence was seemingly frozen up by the ice too!

    Then, Qin Feng could feel that there was another powerful presence, almost as powerful as Hu San¡¯s, nearby.

 Chapter 848 - An S-tier Troublemaker

    <h4>Chapter 848: An S-tier Troublemaker</h4>

    Hu San¡¯s lifespan was at its end! He did not have much time left!

    However, with the aid of the blood concentrated crystals, this could be solved!

    ¡°Oh? You¡¯re here?¡± Hu San opened his eyes as the ice that wasyered on his body began to melt.

    ¡°Yes. Thanks for waiting this long for me, Sir!¡±

    ¡°Heh, if chilling for this bit of time is considered ¡®waiting for a long time¡¯, then I¡¯d be worried about me having a bad reputation. Haha!¡±

    It only took three minutes for Qin Feng and Bai Li to get there after all.

    Qin Feng gave Hu San a modest smile. He had great respect for this old protector of the Northern Region. Then, he took out the fifty blood concentrated crystals and showed it to the old man.

    Even though he had heard it via themunicator, Hu San still could not help but to feel excited from seeing the crystals.

    These items should be enough to solve his problem!

    Then, he took a long pause before taking out a small box¡ªa small crystal box.

    And it was quite clear that it was not some ordinary crystal box. Qin Feng could feel raging energy vibrating out of this box.

    It was clear that this crystal box was made of pure energy.

    Inside the box was an eight-petal Snow Lotus. The lotus¡¯ presence waspletely sealed off by Hu San; but the leaves around the Lotus seemed to be brimming with life. From a distance, the flower looked like a lotus that was made by jade.

    Qin Feng, of course, knew what this lotus was¡ªthis was the Snow Jade Lotus, an S-tier herb!

    Hu San said, ¡°I¡¯ll trade this with your crystals.¡±

    ¡°Erm...¡± Qin Feng was stunned. Hu San was an S-tier champion so it was quite clear that he had plenty of resources to spare. However, this S-tier herb was a priceless treasure! This trade would benefit Qin Feng by a thousand fold!

    To make the trade a fair deal, Qin Feng should instead trade this lotus with his S-tier blood concentrated crystal. However, since he did not mention it earlier in themunicator, there was no reason to mention it now too!

    ¡°Sir, this lotus is too precious. This trade is too unfair on your end. Besides, you saved my life before and I haven¡¯t even repaid the favor yet. For that, I can¡¯t take advantage of you, Sir.¡± Qin Feng said earnestly.

    However, Hu San shook his head and replied, ¡°Repaying the favor? Bah! There¡¯s no need for that, boy. I saved you so that I could gain some karma. And sure enough, the karma is paying off right now. Don¡¯t worry about this lotus. I¡¯ve cultivated these lotuses myself and I¡¯ve had plenty of them for snacks. The lotus would not do much for me anymore. But these crystals would be a great help to me. So, I would consider this a good trade. You see. I am new in this realm and it¡¯s not really easy to hunt down these Gorefiends too... and there¡¯s not much fight in this old sack of bones now...¡±

    Hu San sighed.

    It actually was not that difficult to kill these Gorefiends. However, hunting them down would take a lot of energy. This would take too much time and energy, which he did not have.

    As such, even though this trade was seemingly unfair for Hu San, to him this was good enough because it would save him a great deal of time.

    Upon hearing this, Qin Feng finally epted it. This Snow Jade Lotus was quite valuable to him. At least, when ascending to A-tier, this lotus would be very useful.

    However, after giving it a brief ponder, Qin Feng added, ¡°How about this, sir? I¡¯ll give you a bottle of Glittering Gold Sand. This should at least cover some of those losses in this trade.¡±

    Right now, the most valuable item that Qin Feng could trade out was the Glittering Gold Sand.

    ¡°Oh? You have more of these goodies too?¡±

    Qin Feng smiled but did not admit it. Officially, Qin Feng had given all of the Glittering Gold Sand to Shang Han. Right now, even though everyone knew that Qin Feng still had the sand on him due to how rapid the development of Fengli City was, no one was able to find this treasure from his turf.

    Besides, Qin Feng had a lot of money on him; so, there was no point in selling the Glittering Gold Sand.

    Thanks to that, he could still hold onto it until this day.

    Qin Feng took out a huge bottle of Glittering Gold Sand. The sheer amount of energy that was brimming from the bottle gave some healing warmth to Hu San. Seeing this, Hu San did not reject, and epted them.

    ¡°Qin Feng, since you¡¯re here, perhaps you could help guard me for the moment.¡±

    ¡°Certainly!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded his head.

    Then, Hu San opened his mouth and swallowed the blood concentrated crystals.

    Although these crystals were rock solid, when put into his mouth, these crystals melted really quickly¡ªlike marshmallow.

    When they entered his stomach, Hu San could feel that these crystals had turned into pure life force that was absorbable by his body.

    Hu San¡¯s pale face instantly turned red and lively, like he had eaten some really good supplement. His humpback was starting to get straightened up too.

    The blood concentrated crystals were quite magical in healing one¡¯s body. It was not only able to prolong one¡¯s lifespan, it was quite easy to be absorbed. This meant a great deal to many ability users because not many had the same Absorption Ability that Qin Feng had.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li looked at one another before walking out of the snowy house. As soon as he walked out, Qin Feng could feel a ring presence nearing them.

    Then, the powerful heat raged at his face, almost like it was trying to melt the freezing snow behind him.

    In the next second, a ck man appeared in front of Qin Feng.

    ¡°Oh, look at what the cat dragged in? Hu San, what are you doing in my turf, huh? Are you here to be killed by me? It¡¯s been so long that I thought you have already turned into an ice zombie! Hahahahaha!¡±

    The man was cloaked in raging fire as he spread a revolting grin on his face, like he was trying to be funny. It looked like this was a mad man.

    And this man was indeed mad.

    He was the most powerful man in the North African Republic Alliance. Well, specifically the Dark Coalition in North Africa.

    He was Ayshan, the ¡°Hellfire Ifrit¡±!

    This man was trying to cause trouble for Hu San!

    Qin Feng immediately ordered, ¡°Spatial Seal, now!¡±

    ¡°Right away!¡± Bai Li quickly raised her hand and enveloped the snowy house with ayer of silver fog.

    Hellfire Ifrit Ayshan fell from the sky and stood in front of Qin Feng and Bai Li. He had sensed Qin Feng and Bai Li a while ago. However, he was too focused on Hu San. Now that Hu San¡¯s presence was concealed by the Spatial Seal, Ayshan immediately focused his attention on Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    When he saw Bai Li, Ayshan¡¯s eyes immediately showed lecherous intention.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned grim as he wielded his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°My apologies, Sir. Mr Hu San has something important to do so he can¡¯t entertain you right now.¡± Qin Feng spoke in a cold voice.

    Ayshan raised his eyebrow and looked at Qin Feng. The lecherous look instantly turned into one of belittling.

    He raised his hand in disgust, ¡°Heh, and just what kind of small prick are you?¡±

    Then, a massive fire dragon was summoned from his hand, which darted straight at Qin Feng.

    If Qin Feng stepped aside to evade this attack, the Spatial Seal behind him would immediately be smashed to pieces. Bai Li¡¯s Spatial Seal could not withstand a strike from an S-tier!

    As such, Qin Feng could not afford to evade this attack!

 Chapter 849 - Ayshanâ€™s Madness

    <h4>Chapter 849: Ayshan¡¯s Madness</h4>

    To Ayshan, Qin Feng as a B-tier aptitude user was no more than a brat.

    A brat that he could kill without reasoning.

    In his eyes, the fire dragon that he, an S-tier, breathed out easily would be a disastrous attack to the B-tier. Qin Feng would be powerless to withstand it.

    However, the reality was far from Ayshan¡¯s expectation.

    ¡°Hydro Dragon Strike!¡±

    Qin Feng triggered all his water abilities in that instance. Not only that but a shade of blue shone brightly in between his brows. It was the Sacred Water Stone he had gotten from Dusk Dragon.

    A giant water dragon emerged from Qin Feng¡¯s palm. Its color mimicked the blue of the sea and it emanated a destructive force.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Roar!

    The water dragon roared and twitched forward as if it was riding a strong wave. The two dragons collided in midair.

    Water and fire were by nature two contradicting elements¡ªwater could put out fire while heat could evaporate water. In that case, the winner would be determined by whose ability had more power.

    Apparently, Ayshan¡¯s spontaneous attack was inferior to Qin Feng¡¯s well-prepared Hydro Dragon in terms of power and explosiveness.

    Thud! Thud! Thud!

    The collision of the two contrasting skills resulted in a series of muffled explosions. Runes continued to be depleted from the two dragons and finally, they both shattered into pieces.

    Tiny mes fell around Qin Feng. Probably due to the ice rune remnants left behind by Hu San, the fire was extinguished before itnded on anything. Simrly, Qin Feng¡¯s Hydro Dragon sshed water after the collision. Water droplets rained around Ayshan, with a few drops wetting Ayshan¡¯s shoes.

    The proud, twisted face of Ayshan that was filled with jubnce a while ago froze when he saw the water droplet on his boots.

    His eyes popped out, all bloodshot. His mouth twitched, baring his white teeth along with the gum. Ayshan was like an uncontrolled beast ready to devour its prey.

    The surroundings froze under Ayshan¡¯s unconstrained aura. The entire space seemed to be distorted due to the sudden spike in temperature. The brown soil under them began to melt constantly like molten chocte. The soil then blended together intova.

    Such an intense aura was the signal of field activation.

    The overwhelming force of the S-tier deterred all living creatures within a thousand-meter radius from approaching.

    Of course, this ce had been void of living creatures due to Hu San¡¯s presence earlier.

    Bystanders beyond a thousand meters away watched in astonishment. Someone in between who recognized the S-tiers eximed, ¡°The Hellfire Ifrit is enraged!¡±

    ¡°Ayshan, the Hellfire Ifrit! He once drowned an entire city withva!¡±

    ¡°Who is his opponent? What terrible luck!¡±

    People from various corporations were gathered here to build the fort. But when the two began to fight, most of them rushed to their choppers and fled at once. Gong Ge¡¯s group was the only one who did not and could not leave.

    Currently, Gong Ge was standing beside Cleaves and they both gazed afar from the fort.

    ¡°The elect is as powerful as our lord. Jeez... Are there a lot like him in your world?¡± Gong Ge was obviously baffled. Ayshan¡¯s strength greatly surprised him.

    ¡°No. Elects of such degree are actually rare here. Qin Feng is out of luck today!¡± Cleaves said jubntly.

    Gong Ge equally gloated at Qin Feng¡¯s misfortune. ¡°This is great. He should indeed be taught a lesson for being so greedy.¡±

    Gong Ge was delighted. But actually, what had Qin Feng taken away from him? The 100 million power credits? The money had not only kept him alive but also granted him the means to survive here.

    Perhaps in Gong Ge¡¯s mind, he was the only rightful owner of the Divine me Imperial Robe, as well as the treasures that were hidden underground. To him, Qin Feng was the greedy intruder and he wished Qin Feng the most terrible death.

    Gong Ge was truly a weasel.

    However, reality did not pan out as Gong Ge imagined it.

    Ayshan¡¯s rage suddenly detonated after his ability was nullified by Qin Feng.

    His unbound anger materialized into a pyro field as he thrust his hand.

    The ground around him had beenpletely turned intova. Theva grumbled like waves and rushed violently straight toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were petty in front of theva waves. But they had no fear.

    All the way up to this point, they had faced a much more severe predicament than this.

    ¡°Water Enchantment: Sea Howl!¡±

    Water spurted out from between Qin Feng¡¯s brows. The skill howled to announce its arrival to the world. Qin Feng reserved nothing and unleashed his internal strengthpletely. His consciousness starglobe spun madly.

    Once again, water waves met with the fire waves.

    However, Ayshan¡¯s force won the sh this time. Theva evaporated the sea wave and rolled on.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were situated pretty close to Ayshan. They were going to be engulfed next as the sea waves did not even dy theva waves for a bit.

    But it was too na?ve to think that they would be defeated so easily.

    ¡°Spatial Switch!¡±

    Bai Li used her ability.

    A silver gleam appeared and in the next moment, Qin Feng, Bai Li, and the igloo behind them disappeared abruptly from the spot. A momentter, they reappeared a thousand meters away.

    Theva waves continued to rumble but its force was obviously insufficient to travel that far.

    Ayshan was again stunned to see that. He nced at Bai Li oddly, then guffawed at his realization. ¡°A human-form beast. Interesting! I could enjoy this a little longer before the toy is spoiled!¡±

    His consciousness spread quickly and everyone heard him.

    Qin Feng gritted in disgust. He vowed to kill Ayshan in the future. It was a misfortune to others for such a scumbag to possess the power of an S-tier.

    He was better dead.

    Of course, the most important thing right now was to stall him until Hu San hadpletely assimted the Blood Crystal. By then, Ayshan could no longer be as haughty as he was now.

    Ayshan¡¯s attack was getting stronger and crazier. He did not move an inch but used his ability and consciousness to transform the fluffy clouds into a fiery red. Then, fire began to ¡°rain¡± down from the sky.

    ¡°Earth Enchantment: Motherearth Crust!¡±

    Qin Feng did not sit back. The earth around him flipped up into the shape of a shield and enveloped them in it.

    A cunning smile immediately floated on Ayshan¡¯s lips. ¡°Woah! Boom!¡± Ayshan imitated the sound of an explosion.

    Indeed, as soon as the falling fire touched the crust, it casted a massive explosion.

 Chapter 850 - Reinforcement from the Long Family

    <h4>Chapter 850: Reinforcement from the Long Family</h4>

    The form of an ability was fixed once the runes were arranged in a certain way. It could not be altered easily, or else the casted ability would copse instantly.

    But this rule did not apply to an S-tier. They had learned enough to master the way of rearranging the runes while maintaining the ability¡¯s power.

    The sudden explosion would catch anyone by surprise.

    Ayshan was even crazier than Z. No matter what, Z would spare Qin Feng¡¯s life because he wanted Qin Feng as his experimental subject. That was why Qin Feng could always get away from Z unscathed.

    In contrast, Ayshan only wanted Qin Feng dead. Despite his status as a prestigious S-tier, Ayshan was not shy from using such an hical tactic.

    It was a killing blow.

    Qin Feng actually admired Ayshan¡¯s unsympathetic approach. He suffered greatly sustaining the explosion head-on.

    The moment the runes exploded, Qin Feng could vividly feel that his consciousness was starkly impacted too. The explosion seemed to have generated an echo in his conscious realm and shook the starglobe.

    In that instant, Qin Feng almost fainted.

    Such an attack would usually blow a normal ability user¡¯s head apart the moment it hit.

    But Qin Feng withstood it. The explosive shockwave brushed past three diamond starglobes and two elemental sacred stones before finallynding on Qin Feng¡¯s dark. It had lost most of its momentum then and was unable to crush Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm.

    Qin Feng survived the assault thanks to his mammoth conscious power. Even so, a lot of runes in his realms were blown apart in the process and lost from Qin Feng¡¯s diamond starglobe for good. He would need to remaster them if he wished to have the runes back.

    Abilities relied on the arrangement of its corresponding rune type. Without the rune, one could not execute the ability even if he or she knew how to cast it.

    This was only the damage in ces that people could not see.

    On the outside, the onlookers witnessed how the sudden explosion of the fallen fire had sted the earth shield into ashes. As the st wave was about to reach Qin Feng and Bai Li under it, Bai Li reflexively dragged the Chiliad Orb in her hand and ripped apart a rift on top of them.

    All iing impact, as well as the fire, was absorbed into the rift. Qin Feng, Bai Li, and the igloo did not suffer any physical damage.

    Bai Li pulled a long face. Rage burned brightly through her silver iris. She was obviously infuriated because Qin Feng was hurt.

    ¡°Qin Feng, will I be in trouble if I kill him?¡± Bai Li asked.

    Ever since Bai Li had evolved into a beast deity, her strength wasparable to that of an S-tier. Then again, it did not mean that she would definitely win the battle against one.

    But, at the very least, she stood a chance.

    Of course, every S-tier currently in the Human Alliance was an immeasurable asset. Killing one would have immense consequences.

    This Ayshan acted mental. In Bai Li¡¯s world view, Hu San was a good type of S-tier, while Ayshan was naturally a contrasting presence¡ªa viin, an enemy. Nobody would me her for exterminating such a scum.

    Bai Li was ready to move. Silver fur began to grow near the tip of her ears. Her fang became more apparent, while the fingers of her hands were getting sharper. Under her oversize gown, seven tails grew gradually as her aura quickly escted.

    She would need to use her deadliest form against an S-tier.

    ¡°No! Wait!¡± Qin Feng held Bai Li back. The buzz shrouding his mind had toned down considerably now. He did not want Bai Li to fight, especially in her true form. Though many might have figured Bai Li¡¯s identity as a contracted beast, they would view her differently once her beast form was unveiled.

    The dirty-minded people would look down on her and view her as a ything.

    Qin Feng would never allow that. If they really needed to kill the S-tier, then Qin Feng would do it.

    ¡°Later, send me behind him with your spatial runes. I will be the one who kills him.¡± Qin Feng knew this would be their final resort.

    With the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand, Qin Feng believed he could tear past any sort of difficulty.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Bai Li nodded. She had decided to teleport with Qin Feng at the same time but would emerge in front of Ayshan instead of behind him. That would draw the S-tier¡¯s attention onto herself and further guarantee Qin Feng¡¯s safety.

    They had both prepared to bet their lives on this final assault. Their battle intent was at the highest of all time.

    This was when two S-tier auras intruded the battlefield out of the blue.

    Two young-looking men came into sight. One of them was at least two-meter high with a burly figure. He did not look undersized even among the North Africans, who were generally sturdier.

    The other was much lighter. He carried himself tenderly, which matched well with his good-looking face. A gold-frame sses sparkled handsomely around his eyes.

    Humans had advanced tremendously to rid themselves of most diseases and ailments. Short-sightedness was one of them. An S-tier like him would not need a pair of spectacles. It was obviously just an adornment.

    The users from the North America Alliance did not recognize the two of them. They could only guess that they might havee from Huaxia judging by their skin color.

    Their figures gotrger andrger and they finallynded in between Ayshan and Qin Feng. It took less than five seconds from the moment they had appeared to reach in front of them.

    Qin Feng immediately knew who they were, even though he could only see their backs.

    One was the renowned elect from Dragon Capital¡ªLong Yue.

    While the other one was none other than Master Long, Long Yunyi.

    It was no surprise that they were here. Most elects in the Long Family were already in theirte years. Though they all looked young, who knew how long they had actually lived? Perhaps someone in the family was approaching the end of his or her life span.

    Even though they did not have an urgent need for the item hidden here, who could say they would not need it in the future? As such, it was entirely understandable for them to visit this ce. Qin Feng was actually more surprised that they were not here earlier.

    Long Yue stood in front of Qin Feng like a giant mountain. Qin Feng¡¯s battle intent thus toned down a little. Though he was unsure whether they had rushed here purposely to save him, Qin Feng hoped they would at least help him chase away Ayshan. After all, he had offered them the Sky Demon Sword before.

    Even one S-tier was overwhelming enough. Right now, just as the Blood River Realm was being exposed, four of them had shown up. The onlookers could hardly control their trembling bodies.

    But Qin Feng, who stood among the giants, was the one who felt closest to death.

    ¡°Ayshan, what are you trying to do? Do you n to kill a Huaxia¡¯s guardian? Don¡¯t you fear that I will take your life?¡± Long Yue¡¯s voice sounded like a giant gong. It contained internal force and could be clearly heard even at three thousand meters away.

    Ayshan¡¯s eyeballs turned rapidly. The hideous look on his face had subdued a little.

    If he was a normal S-tier, he would have been daunted by the threat. But Ayshan was everything but normal. He was a demon, a sick demon.

    ¡°S-tier from Huaxia? Stick your nose elsewhere. Have you two weaned? Let me teach you some respect!¡± Ayshan was again on the move as soon as he finished the sentence.

 Chapter 851 - The Battle between S-tiers

    <h4>Chapter 851: The Battle between S-tiers</h4>

    Theva waves rose again.

    Long Yue¡¯s face darkened. A pitch-ck saber came into his hand. He danced forward ferociously.

    Earth Splitter!

    The sh opened a crack twenty meter deep. The forceshed out for a thousand meters straight at Ayshan.

    Ayshan who had been static all this while finally moved his body. The attacking from an S-tier ancient warrior was something he had to respect.

    Immediately, Ayshan followed up with another attack. Their immense battle aura instantly altered the topography near the edge of the Blood River Battlefield.

    This was the supremacy of S-tiers!

    There was almost nothing they could not do or change.

    At the same time, Long Yunyi did not get involved. He took a step back and let the two fight freely. Through conscious connection, Long Yunyi greeted Qin Feng.

    ¡°Hey, my young friend.¡±

    ¡°Master Long!¡±

    ¡°Master Long!¡±

    Qin Feng and Bai Li greeted him politely.

    Long Yunyi sized up Qin Feng. He was clearly impressed and said giddily, ¡°It¡¯s been a while and you have improved dramatically. It¡¯smendable that you could actually withstand Ayshan. But I guess that¡¯s not too surprising. You have taken away an arm from He Tianxing before, after all.¡±

    Qin Feng had been tight-lipped about He Tianxing. Those who knew about He Tianxin¡¯s injury thought that he had recovered well from it. But losing an arm was no small matter. Those from the Long Family knew He Tianxing must have suffered greatly from the injury when they heard the news.

    Qin Feng believed Long Yunyi was beingplimentary. But he did not want to brag and wished to maintain a low profile in front of the S-tier. As such. he replied humbly, ¡°It was a coincidence then that I had a life-saving trump card. This time, I have no choice but to go up against Ayshan.¡± He then conveniently changed the topic. ¡°I was meeting with Master Hu San here. Ayshan suddenly showed up right at the critical stage. He clearly came with ill-intent. I could only try my best to stop him from interrupting Hu San.¡± Qin Feng believed Long Yunyi must recognize who Hu San was.

    Long Yunyi¡¯s expression changed slightly after listening to Qin Feng. He had obviously noticed the igloo. Despite that, the aura left behind by Hu San had been dispersed by Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s runes in the battle earlier. Thus, although Long Yunyi had his guesses, he could not confirm them. Qin Feng¡¯s words verified his doubt.

    He could nowrgely grasp the series of events that led to this point.

    Long Yunyi always put on a simper, which gave out a friendly vibe at all times. If he was not an S-tier, others would have mistaken him for a ssy businessman.

    ¡°Hu San is in a critical stage? Perhaps, if I am not mistaken, he has found the blood concentrated crystal? Is it as magical as it is rumored to be?¡±

    Qin Feng knew Long Yunyi was probing. He did not hide it and answered honestly, ¡°The rumor is true.¡±

    Long Yunyi nodded and asked, ¡°Do you have any left? Would you like to sell one to an old folk like me?¡±

    If not because of Long Yunyi¡¯s status and his perspicacious gaze that would onlye with enough vicissitude, Qin Feng would think that this young-looking man in front of him had to be joking.

    Just as Qin Feng was about to answer, he was interjected by the sudden entry of another S-tier¡¯s aura.

    This time, it was fairly close. This S-tier must have concealed his presence and stayed in the shadow all this while.

    But now, he announced his presence furiously.

    ¡°Long Yue! Isn¡¯t the saber you are holding my Sky Demon Sword!¡±

    Speak of the devil! The neer was none other than the lord of Dark Citadel, He Tianxing.

    After he suffered the injury, He Tianxing had healed rapidly but it left behind a minor side effect. It was nothing to an elect of his prestige. Yet, what if such hidden faults affected his judgment during a battle? In a real battle, any slight misjudgment would lead to an error, and an error would in turn lead to crisis.

    That was why he had alsoe here hunting for the blood crystal to eliminate the concern.

    Coincidentally, he bumped into the battle between Long Yue and Ayshan on his way. Though the saber in Long Yue¡¯s hand had beenpletely reformed using the Magical Tesseract, it still bore some of its original quality.

    He Tianxing immediately knew when he saw it. He could no longer contain his anger. It was embarrassing enough to have his weapon robbed by a B-tier brat. Now, his beloved weapon was almost beyond recognition and was in the hand of a nemesis. That was a tough pill to swallow.

    Long Yue was currently caught in a fight with Ayshan. He Tianxing could not find a more suitable time and ce to vent his anger.

    ¡°Ayshan, let me help you.¡±

    S-tier aptitude users mostly knew each other. They seldom get caught in a fight like this. Because their battle would often causerge-scale destruction to the surroundings. They could not afford to further deteriorate their already limited habitat on Earth.

    Now that they were in a different dimension, they had been freed from that concern.

    The bnced battle tilted heavily toward Ayshan after He Tianxing joined the battle. The gap between the S-tiers was minimal, to begin with. To handle two S-tiers at once was vastly difficult.

    Long Yunyi could no longer chat leisurely with Qin Feng. He had to help pin down He Tianxing.

    ¡°He Tianxing, your weapon was lost because of your own incapability. Why are you ming my nephew instead? Come, let me be your opponent.¡±

    He Tianxing was startled when he saw Long Yunyi. Apparently, he too feared the legendary Master Long.

    Regardless, he had little time to think and was forced to take on Long Yunyi¡¯s assault.

    In that instant, the attacks from all four S-tiers came together.

    Crack!

    Something in the nothingness seemed to have been shattered by them. A ck orb appeared in the center of the collision and ramped up rapidly.

    It was a spatial rift.

    The Blood River Realm had been extremely unstable. Now it had gone full-blown.

    The rift expanded infinitely and spread toward the four elects, trying to engulf them. The four S-tiers had no choice but to back off from the rift center.

    The rift extended greedily for a few thousand meters more and ripped apart the space-time on thend of this unstable realm.

    The four elects escaped to the air and looked at each other. Their urge to battle had cooled off rapidly.

    The altercation between them had caused an irreversible cmity. They tacitly agreed such a battle should stop at once.

    Promptly, a group of monsters rushed out from the rift. These were C-tier beasts. They were two-meter high and looked a lot like frogs. They were ck in color with dark green puncta all over their bodies. It was a disgusting creature.

    Gong Ge who was watching this from a few thousands meters away had blood sapped away from his face.

    ¡°Run! They are beasts from the Voodoo Forest!¡±

    ¡°The rift is connected to the Voodoo Forest? We are doomed!¡±

    Despair wrapped those left behind in this copsed realm.

    Voodoo Forest was the most dangerous region known to them. No one had ever set foot in their realm. It was said that countless venomous creatures breed there. The Blood River Realm was already a harsh enough environment to stay in. They could not imagine how deadly it would be now with the invasion of creatures from the Voodoo Forest.

    But no matter how bleak the future looked, survival instinct always kicked in first. Everyone ran at their first chance. This included Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    However, as soon as Bai Li¡¯s spatial runes were triggered, it attracted He Tianxing¡¯s attention onto them.

    ¡°You are here!¡± He Tianxing¡¯s killing urge zed high.

 Chapter 852 - He Will be Spared if He Stays Alive

    <h4>Chapter 852: He Will be Spared if He Stays Alive</h4>

    Seeing Qin Feng here opened up his old wound.

    He Tianxing acted swiftly when he saw that Qin Feng and Bai Li were nning to flee.

    His enormous internal force instantly dispersed the iplete spatial runes just released by Bai Li. Hence, Bai Li and Qin Feng could not escape in time.

    Actually, they might have already been gone if there were only two of them. With Hu San and his igloo, Bai Li needed to cast more spatial runes than usual. This gave He Tianxing enough time to intercept them.

    Qin Feng expanded his internal force shield to resist He Tianxing¡¯s attack. It exhausted the internal force in his dantian rapidly.

    Qin Feng might possess the same amount of internal force but its trait was vastly inferior to that of He Tianxing¡¯s.

    Besides, He Tianxing¡¯s attack was imbued with his fury. Qin Feng had little chance in front of the S-tier¡¯s wrath.

    Pop!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shield was crushed in an instant. He Tianxing¡¯s internal force was notpletely nullified and rolled on fiercely. Bai Li was unable to shield it in time.

    Bam!

    The forcended on Qin Feng and Bai Li and they both literally felt a punch in the gut. Their spines sustained enormous pressure.

    Bai Li had evolved into the physique of a beast deity. She was rather durable and should be fine.

    In contrast, Qin Feng no longer had the sacred armor with him. Though he had put on a god armor, it was designed only to withstand the ultimate assault of a B-tier beast emperor. It hardly had any protective effect against an S-tier ability.

    As such, he basically took in the attack with his entire body.

    ¡°Pfft!¡± Qin Feng spitted a mouthful of blood.

    ¡°He Tianxing, that¡¯s enough!¡± Long Yunyi yelled after he saw that Qin Feng was assaulted. He decided to intervene and protect Qin Feng.

    Long Yunyi was the one who helped to finalize the transfer of the Sky Demon Sword into Long Yue¡¯s hand. Benefited from the Magical Tesseract, Long Yue¡¯s strength had improved drastically after he gained the new weapon. They owed Qin Feng a big favor.

    Thus, they could not stand by and watch Qin Feng being bullied by He Tianxing.

    ¡°Hahaha! What do you mean by enough? I am just teaching the brat a little lesson. That¡¯s none of your business.¡± He Tianxing was not done. He had used almost 50% power in the attack just now. It surprised him that Qin Feng actually survived that.

    ¡®This brat has gotten stronger, again.¡¯

    The grudges between them could not be resolved without one side being killed. He Tianxing knew that he would need to do it now when Qin Feng¡¯s true strength was still only in its infancy.

    This time and ce presented the most ideal opportunity.

    He Tianxing struck again. Long Yunyi acted swiftly to intercept him.

    Boom!

    Something once again exploded in the air as the two giants shed.

    A mottled shadow urred behind both He Tianxing and Long Yunyi.

    The shadow looked like a half-transparent moon, only more colorful.

    Everyone watching the fight held their breaths.

    The two of them were serious about this. They had triggered the true aptitude of an S-tier many have only heard in legends¡ªinternal force neb!

    Rumor had it, after the internal force evolves into the scale of a sea, a user would need topress them into a more solid state to break into S-tier. Thepressed internal force would usually take a spherical form.

    The pattern of the neb was different from one S-tier ancient warrior to another. It epitomized their peaked ancient art.

    It was bewildering that they had gone this far for a B-tier.

    The neb sphere on He Tianxing¡¯s back had numerous scars that looked like sword marks. On the other hand, Long Yunyi¡¯s neb was more amorphous, with energy pulsating around it every now and then.

    Based on the marks alone, ancient warriors seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of ancient arts simply by watching it.

    It was an abstract concept that had a different definition in different users¡¯ minds. It was an experience that could hardly trante into words.

    One thing for sure, their battle was getting more intense.

    Crack!

    Another rift opened up in between them.

    The battle between S-tiers definitely surpassed people¡¯s imagination. Every single collision appeared to be earth-shattering. The rift opened up directly in between them, which forced both S-tiers to back off quickly in midair.

    Meanwhile, Bai Li and Qin Feng, who were stranded on the ground, were now surrounded by the monster herding from the Voodoo Forest.

    Worse still, with a deafening roar, a skeleton dragon carrying immense dark runes emerged from the newly opened rift.

    Those people that hade out from the copsed realm eximed in despair, yet again.

    ¡°Skeleton Wyvern from Spinesoul Land!¡± Another deadly ce from their realm.

    Two fatal zones were cracked open by the S-tiers sessively. The Skeleton Wyvern that came out was already a B-tier beast king, who knew what else might appear next?

    Long Yunyi said solemnly, ¡°He Tianxing, I believe you are here to look for jewels. Are you going to destroy this realm? If so, then do it.¡±

    He Tianxing nced at Long Yunyi dismissively. Nevertheless, he felt a faint throbbing pain in his old wound. He, too, did not wish to continue the tricky battle.

    But at the same time, he did not want to let Qin Feng go too.

    ¡°We can call a truce if you hand him over,¡± He Tianxing said.

    Long Yue¡¯smanding voice interjected, ¡°What a rapacious scum! My uncle is offering you a way out of this. Take it or leave it!¡±

    He Tianxing chided back mockingly, ¡°Then, let¡¯s continue our fight.¡±

    Ayshan watched them quietly and clearly enjoyed the conflict. At the same time, he had his eyes fixed on Long Yue and was ready to pounce anytime.

    Beneath them, the Skeleton Wyvern was thetest to join in the siege around Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Qin Feng did not let Bai Li attempt another escape. He did not want to further provoke He Tianxing.

    From others¡¯ perspective, Qin Feng had already suffered considerable injuries and was currently being attacked by wave after wave of monsters. Even if He Tianxing did not do anything, he would still die eventually if the situation dragged on.

    That was why He Tianxing had insisted on clinging on.

    Ayshan smirked. What he said next was full of malicious intent, ¡°Listen to me. Why don¡¯t we stop fighting? We should just watch when that brat is going to die. There would be no conflict once he has been killed, right?¡± Ayshanughed hysterically. Others¡¯ sufferings were nothing more than aedy to him.

    He Tianxing agreed, ¡°What do you say, Long elects? I like the idea. We should just back off and watch. You can¡¯t help and I won¡¯t interfere. If he survives, I will let this go.¡±

    Long Yunyi contemted. He Tianxing and Ayshan did not know what Qin Feng had done in the past. But he knew.

    The reason why the Long family knew about the Blood River Realm and arrived so early was that they had been following Qin Feng¡¯s activity closely.

    This young man that suddenly burst into the scene had been involved in almost every significant event in this past year. He always came out victorious and got the biggest winning share every time.

    Thus, the Long family was alerted when Qin Feng and the Fengli Organization traveled to this realm in a giant fleet.

    With a leap of faith, Long Yue and Long Yunyi decided to follow Qin Feng to this Blood River Realm and try their luck.

    Now, He Tianxing said that as long as Qin Feng could stay alive on the battlefield, he would let Qin Feng loose.

    This was feasible. Long Yunyi had enormous confidence that Qin Feng was able to pull through this. The only concern was that Long Yunyi did not know how badly injured Qin Feng was.

 Chapter 853 - Qin Fengâ€™s Maximum Power

    <h4>Chapter 853: Qin Feng¡¯s Maximum Power</h4>

    Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was still struggling with those ultra beasts. Despite that, he did hear the conversation between Ayshan and He Tianxing.

    Perhaps in the eyes of these two powerful S-tiers or even most people, it would be impossible for Qin Feng to win such a bet. But to Qin Feng, this was the lifeline he was waiting for.

    Nheless, Qin Feng did not reveal his true thoughts. If he carelessly expressed his confidence now, it would draw unnecessary suspicion from He Tianxing. In that case, he would never get to glimpse the moment He Tianxing would p his own face.

    They would deeply regret it when all was said and done.

    Qing Feng kept on brandishing the Verdant Emperor Saber, killing one after another beasting his way.

    The soul of the dead beasts would flow into Qin Feng¡¯s body, which little by little healed Qin Feng¡¯s wounds.

    The injury caused by He Tianxing had been substantially alleviated as well.

    Seeing Qin Feng¡¯sposure in dealing with the beast, Long Yunyi knew those beasts could hardly hurt Qin Feng for now. He temporarily set aside his concern.

    ¡°Alright, I agree!¡±

    He Tianxing sneered. He too realized Qin Feng might not fall so easily. That was why Long Yunyi had agreed to the bet so big-heartedly. However, his movement was currently being impeded by Long Yunyi. Since He Tianxing could not touch Qin Feng, he could only bet on his luck.

    Now he wished for more powerful creatures toe through the crack.

    As if He Tianxing¡¯s prayer was answered, ultra beasts emerged continuously from the rift. Both their level and size increased herd after herd. After the Skeleton Wyvern from earlier was brought down by Qin Feng through some effort, more ferocious beasts stepped over its body and lunged at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Up!¡±

    To prevent himself from being cornered by the beasts, Qin Feng raised his footing. He stood steadily on the little hill, like a boulder that stood stubbornly in the middle of the sea despite beingmbasted by sea wave after sea wave.

    Qin Feng wanted to stall for as long as possible.

    He did not know what kind of ultra beast would being out from the riftter. At least right now, he was not troubled by them. Once Hu San had finished assimting the blood crystal, then there would be three S-tiers on his side. He would have nothing to fear when that time came.

    The ughter carried on.

    Because of the endless killing, fresh blood spilled everywhere and lured more beasts to cross the rift. Even beasts belonging to this realm were lured by the blood scent. Beasts around this area, local and alien alike, were alling in Qin Feng¡¯s direction. They were triggered by Qin Feng and craved to shred the arrogant human.

    However, it was the beasts that always ended up falling under Qin Feng¡¯s saber.

    The killing continued after the moon¡¯s arrival chased away the daylight. Qin Feng refused to surrender despite the endless mob. One sh, one kill.

    If there was anyone who could single-handedly stop a beast wave, that person had to be an elect, and the beast wave must be a few tiers below his or her level.

    But nobody would believe a B-tier, with a single saber in his hand, could withstand such arge-scale B-tier beast wave for this long.

    Yet, such a miracle was currently unfolding in front of their very eyes.

    Awoo!!

    Amid the night, a staggering roar broke through the chaos. A pair of green eyes beamed in the night looking for its pair. The aura of A-tier beasts had finally arrived.

    Long Yue frowned upsettingly. It was a bad omen.

    ¡°I believe you guys from the Long family are men of your words, right?¡± He Tianxing reminded Long Yue.

    He was closer than ever to victory now, despite the long wait. It would be extremely pleasing to see his foe being torn apart alive by beasts in an exhausted, defenseless state. It was worth the wait.

    Not only that but He Tianxing would also be utterly delighted when the man the Long family vowed to protect was killed right under their helplessness.

    He eagerly anticipated the moment Qin Feng would fall on his knees.

    This was when the door of the igloo behind Qin Feng swung open.

    Hu San was surprised to find himself inside a sshouse. It was actually a spatial dimension created by Bai Li to protect the igloo.

    Realizing that Hu San hade out from the igloo, Bai Li immediately dispersed the spatial barrier. Commotion on the outside immediately reached Hu San¡¯s consciousness. The four S-tiers in the sky and the numerous carcasses on the ground were enough for Hu San to know that Qin Feng must have gone through hell when he was meditating.

    ¡°The hell happened out here?¡± Hu San murmured somberly. His hair was stillrgely white but it was different from before. It no longer carried a shade of yellow but was sparklingly snowy now. The wrinkles on his skin had straightened a lot too.

    More so, his hump was fixed and looked especially brawny. The blood concentrated crystal was indeed effective.

    Hu San had spent more time than he needed to fix some of his persistent ailments. He did not expect toe out to such a drastic change on the outside.

    Bai Li blinked impatiently when she saw Hu San¡¯s slightly confused face. She promptly briefed him about the current situation, ¡°The ck S-tier over there tried to stir trouble first after you went in. Then these two came to help. Not long after, He Tianxing joined the party as well.¡±

    Bai Li did not mention the bet, because it no longer mattered after Hu San had woken up.

    ¡°My little bro Qin Feng, it seems I now owe you another favor. Thanks a lot!¡± Hu San thanked him sincerely.

    If not because of Qin Feng¡¯s protection, Hu San could not have assimted the crystal undisturbed. Though he would not lose anything, he might have missed out on the best therapy in years.

    He could not thank Qin Feng enough. The young man must have put his life on the line trying to stop his nemesis Ayshan, a legit S-tier!

    Qin Feng finally felt the shackle on his shoulder loosen up after he heard Hu San¡¯s voice.

    ¡°Since you havee out, I no longer have to pretend,¡± Qin Feng imed casually.

    ¡°Oh?¡± Hu San was puzzled. He then saw Qin Feng begin to imbue the saber with his internal strength.

    The next moment, the saber started to wail. Along with the frightening wailing, numerous silhouettes erupted from the saber.

    They were the spirits trapped inside the Soul-lock Stone.

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    Qin Feng exhausted a hundred pools of internal strength. Amplified by the force, the spirits further expanded ten times.

    Then, Qin Feng made a half turn with the saber and swept the battlefield in front of him with the spirits clinging to it.

    All beasts within sight, including the A-tier, were exterminated by this S-tier ancient art.

    The roars, the footsteps, the buzz¡ªall of it was silenced by half.

    Onlookers from afar, S-tier in a stalemate midair¡ªhad been equally silenced.

    It only made the subsequent saber swing sound louder than it should be.

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    ¡°Second hit!¡±

    All the remaining beasts on the other half of the circle were cleansed this time.

    Behold, such was Qin Feng¡¯s maximum power!

 Chapter 854 - Foul Play from He Tianxing, Qin Feng Gets Injured

    <h4>Chapter 854: Foul y from He Tianxing, Qin Feng Gets Injured</h4>

    Qin Feng did not unleash all of his strength, he was only letting He Tianxing feel good about himself but once Hu San appeared, the S-tiers that were standing near Qin Feng had reached a total of three people.

    Then, Qin Feng no longer needed to hide it!

    Two des ughtered all the ultra beasts on the battlefield, Ayshan and He Tianxing¡¯s pupils shrank and their faces then turned pale.

    Obviously, they knew they had been yed!

    Qin Feng always had the strength to defeat these ultra beasts, but he did not reveal it, he was waiting for Hu San to appear.

    That way, he had naturally won the previous bet.

    But this result was not what He Tianxing wanted.

    Not only that, Ayshan and He Tianxing were likely to face retaliation from Hu San.

    Sure enough, Hu San was not a very forgiving person and he immediately started.

    ¡°You really want to try me? Did you...get bored of living?¡±

    As soon as he finished that sentence, a blizzard appeared over the mountain and dark clouds formed in the sky. Then, the violent wind and blizzard transformed into seventy to eighty snow dragons and flew forward!

    This kind of scene could only be considered as apocalyptic, those who present who were not S-tier had never seen the likes of this before and either felt extremely terrified or extremely excited.

    This was the power of an S-tier.

    Morever, Hu San was fierce indeed and his power had grown even higher. Seventy to eighty snow dragons immediately rushed toward Ayshan and He Tianxing¡¯s direction.

    The two fought back, managing to defeat the dragons but they were forced into a retreat.

    With one attack against two, Hu San actually won this fight.

    Ayshan saw how Hu San was and realized that the other¡¯s strength had reached even further. He felt unease in his heart. Combine that with two people from the Huaxia Long family being nearby staring at him, Ayshan turned tail and left without thinking.

    When they had reached S-tier, their ¡®walk¡¯ had also be a flicker of electricity or their body turning into me as they soared into the horizon.

    How could Hu San let Ayshan go? This person had wanted to approach him and cause trouble while he was healing himself earlier.

    If it were not for Qin Feng, Hu San would have really been in danger, he could not just let him go like this.

    Hu San gathered up the heavy snowfall and gave chase.

    A streak of red me and a streak of white snow soared through the sky, for a brief period the sky above was filled with mes and ice before drifting away, leaving only those who were thrilled to see the top people inbat.

    ¡°It seems that Master Hu has gotten much stronger!¡± Long Yue said in a low voice.

    Long Yunyi nodded, this realm was really capable of bringing out the unexpected in people, it was needed even among the S-tiers.

    If that was the case, the S-tiers shoulde over to explore the area and be stationed here!

    At least, they should have one from Huaxia!

    While these two were busy discussing who they should be sending over, the shocked He Tianxing in the horizon suddenly attacked violently!

    ¡°Qin Feng, prepare to die!¡±

    Before he knew it, He Tianxing had alreadynded on the ground. As a top tier S-tier, while his movement skills were not as strong as his martial arts, his internal force was extremely close to that of an S-tier¡¯s. He also had a sharp de in his hand, while it was not as good as his original Sky Demon Sword, it was definitely an A-tier weapon!

    The distance between He Tianxing and Qin Feng was only a hundred meters, this distance meant he was in a dire situation.

    ¡°Sky Demon de Technique, Ten Thousand Shade sh!¡±

    In an instant, internal force flooded out with chaotic force as the shadow of the sword flickered, and five hundred meters in front of He Tianxing, within the range of 120 degrees, were all covered by his attack.

    This ability was so he could kill Qin Feng.

    That boy¡¯s strength revealed that He Tianxing could not hold back, especially not against Qin Feng.

    A person who had mastered even an S-tier martial art at a young age was too dangerous.

    As for the bet just now, that wasplete nonsense. The Dark Coalition¡¯s people would not stop until they had reached their goals and there was no bottom line. An agreement, so what?

    However, his actions made Long Yunyi and Long Yue very angry.

    ¡°He Tianxing, you actually broke your promise, you barbarian!¡±

    ¡°You dare?!¡±

    The two were furious, but they could not stop He Tianxing¡¯s actions. Qin Feng and Bai Li were already shrouded by the shadow of He Tianxing¡¯s sword.

    Internal force blocked off the surrounding space and Bai Li did not have time to make a move.

    Woom!

    While Bai Li could not react, Qin Feng wrapped an arm around her waist and there was ayer of internal force around her.

    This was Qin Feng¡¯s internal force, buying them time for a moment!

    Bai Li used this precious time to burst out a dazzling spatial rune in an instant.

    However, Qin Feng could not defend against He Tianxing¡¯s attack with his internal force before, let alone the opponent¡¯s all-out ultimate move.

    The Demon Sword technique was very fast.

    With that speed, before people could even react, it had already made contact with the opponent¡¯s body.

    Crash!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was instantly shattered.

    Countless shadows were locked onto Qin Feng¡¯s body, as if he would be hit by the de no matter where he went.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    He did not give up, his body filled with internal force as the phantoms tried to dodge this attack.

    sh, sh, sh!

    Qin Feng¡¯s back was cut three times in an instant!

    Whoosh!

    Hisbat uniform was shed into pieces. The B-tier Armor of Vajrayana he exchanged for in the Northern Region, with the infusion of his internal force, formed a yellow light coating around him that covered his entire body.

    But now, under the overwhelming shadow of this de, even the Armor of Vajrayana was crushed.

    Whoosh!

    The Armor of Vajrayana that Qin Feng had on his body turned into powder and the internal force swelling inside it rushed out!

    Then, the endless de shadows fell again!

    ¡°Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s body took a barrage of attacks. While he was protecting Bai Li, her body was also cut twice.

    In the next moment, the two of them had appeared thousands of meters away,pletely leaving He Tianxing¡¯s attack range.

    Qin Feng initially ran forward a few steps before deactivating Phantom Shift, but he abruptly opened his mouth.

    ¡°Blegh!¡±

    He spat blood out of his mouth.

    His back was riddled with wounds, and he had been hit seven times by He Tianxing!

    ¡°Qin Feng!!¡±

    Bai Li screamed in a panic, not caring about her snow-white clothing as she too was bleeding. Both of them were injured. They were clustered together, like small animals licking their wounds after facing the same danger!

    ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡± Qin Feng gritted his teeth, his arm changed from holding Bai Li¡¯s waist to grasping her shoulder. This way, he could lean on Bai Li and prevent himself from falling over.

    Soon, he felt that Bai Li was also injured and the light in his eyes suddenly changed!

    When Qin Feng was injured, as long as the Absorption Ability existed, as long as he drew breath, he would survive.

    Bai Li was different. Her body was flesh and blood. She could still be injured and die.

    His heart was suddenly ignited with monstrous hatred.

    He suddenly turned his head and saw that He Tianxing had activated his movement ability to fly away!

    When an S-tier wanted to flee, nobody could catch up!

 Chapter 855 - Qin Feng Wants Revenge

    <h4>Chapter 855: Qin Feng Wants Revenge</h4>

    Long Yue gave chase, but this would not result in anything. It was impossible for Long Yue to even catch He Tianxing, let alone kill him.

    Long Yunyi also never expected He Tianxing to be so hostile toward Qin Feng. He did not care about chasing after that man, so he hurried to Qin Feng¡¯s side in a few leaps before taking out a jade bottle with a flip of his hand.

    A round pill was poured out and Long Yunyi was about to feed it to Qin Feng.

    This was something that could save a life!

    ¡°To Bai Li!¡± Qin Feng quickly stopped Long Yunyi and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡±

    Long Yunyi looked at Qin Feng¡¯s pale face, but with how confident he looked, he should actually be fine.

    At this point, Long Yunyi also felt pain. The item in his hand was a good treasure, and he was usually not willing to use it. If nothing happened, this item could be preserved!

    Since it was taken out, and Qin Feng had also spoken up, Long Yunyi could only hold out the medicine and could not take it back.

    ¡°Eat!¡± Qin Feng knew that whatever Long Yunyi had, it was bound to be something good so he was going to help himself. It was not those two¡¯s fault, but Long Yunyi and Long Yue were too light-hearted. If it were not for Qin Feng¡¯s own ability, he would have died there today!

    It was just one pill, it was probably going to get eaten eventually.

    Bai Li and Qin Feng¡¯s minds were connected, so she knew his thoughts and took the pill without hesitation.

    However, she only bit off half of the pill, the rest she pressed against Qin Feng¡¯s lips and fed it into his mouth.

    Long Yunyi felt extremely awkward standing nearby, feeling that this was a bit too much!

    ¡°Silly Xiao Bai, I¡¯m fine!¡± Qin Feng, after taking half of the pill, felt that the effects were very strong. At least the wounds on his back were no longer bleeding.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine too!¡± Bai Li said stubbornly. She was a spatial beast with a very strong body. Although she had suffered a very serious injury, her strong recovery ability would also make her better soon!

    Long Yunyi felt embarrassed, but this time he could not just stand around like this and said, ¡°You two hurry up and heal your injuries, now¡¯s not the time to talk!¡±

    ¡°Right!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, and did not hide from Long Yunyi, letting Bai Li take out a fresh piece of meat from her space.

    He was a dark ability user, everyone knew that so there was no need to hide it in front of Long Yunyi. He immediately grabbed therge piece of meat.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    Therge piece of meat immediately dried up and lost its vitality, while Qin Feng¡¯s back injuries, with such energy supplementing them, could be seen healing up.

    He used the flesh of an A-tier beast emperor to heal up his injuries.

    However, his internal force was still lost after that battle. Now, his dantian was dry, his currentbat effectiveness would probably be greatly weakened.

    If He Tianxing came back, Qin Feng might not be able to resist it.

    At this time, Long Yue and Hu San had also returned. When they saw that Qin Feng was injured, the two S-tier powerhouses had a trace of shame on their faces, especially Hu San.

    Qin Feng stayed for two days and one night in order to defend Hu San. After Hu San got better, his injuries healed, he immediately wanted to show off his power but left Qin Feng behind, resulting in him being attacked by He Tianxing!

    ¡°Young Qin Feng, I me myself for this! And this time, you¡¯ve protected me and I didn¡¯t repay you for it. Please ept this ancient mountain ginseng and I hope you will recover soon!¡± Hu San handed out an A-tier medicine of great value known for its potent healing. In fact, this was because he felt guilty.

    Not only that, Hu San said in a strict tone, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, next time I see He Tianxing, I won¡¯t let him go!¡±

    Qin Feng shook his head and said in a low voice: ¡°I will end He Tianxing myself!¡±

    He looked very determined. He did not look like he was making a joke, he seemed to have made up his mind in killing He Tianxing.

    Moreover, after this battle, nobody doubted that Qin Feng would have that strength in the future. Perhaps in less than ten years, he would be able to surpass He Tianxing!

    It was just that, that would happen ten yearster!

    ¡°That¡¯s something that will happen in the future. Now, it¡¯s best you try to avoid him. He Tianxing didn¡¯t seed the first time. It¡¯s very likely he¡¯lle back for you the second time, or the third time. You should go back and recuperate first, and then get your revenge when the dayes!¡± Long Yue said calmly.

    Those words meant that Qin Feng should leave the Blood River Realm. It really was not safe here anymore.

    He Tianxing was still here after all. If the Fengli Organization continued to stay, it was likely to be a target and might get attacked by someone who had no issue crossing the line like He Tianxing.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression was cold, but he did not refute, nodding in agreement.

    ¡°Then, I won¡¯t be staying for long!¡±

    Qin Feng took out the Battlegod Token. He nned to return to the Battlegod¡¯s Tomb. As for the Fengli airships, they could use their spatial waymarks to return to Fengli City.

    Of course, this was definitely not him abandoning the Blood River Realm.

    He would be back, and soon.

    Before leaving, Long Yue gave Qin Feng a piece of S-tier material known as adamantine. Due to its size, the value would not be very high but it was definitely something sought after by any A-tier aptitude user.

    ¡°I saw that your inner armor was destroyed by He Tianxing. You have a Magical Tesseract, you can have this piece of adamantine and make your own inner armor!¡±

    Hu San saw this and said the same, ¡°Magical Tesseract? You have such a treasure? Then, this is something you might need!¡±

    He took out an oval object the size of his palm. It was extremely hot. Not only that, the object was still vibrating very quickly, as if it was about to rush away at any time.

    An Extreme Shuttle Meteorite!

    It was a very good item.

    Qin Feng knew that Hu San was eyeing Long Yue¡¯s move. He only took out the ginseng, which seemed to be quite shabby, but there was really nothing on his hands that suited Qin Feng!

    It was only when Long Yue took out the material that Hu San remembered that he had something left.

    Qin Feng epted these willingly, this time he used great effort. These items could be regarded as the S-tiers making up for previous favors.

    Of course, this matter had nothing to do with Long Yue and Long Yunyi. These two were also taking care of the younger generation and Qin Feng had also inherited their care.

    ¡°Thank you Lord Hu, Battlesaint Long and Master Long, goodbye!¡±

    Qin Feng took out the Battlegod Token, grabbed Bai Li and disappeared in front of the three.

    ¡°Qin Feng¡¯s future has no limits!¡±

    ¡°If he didn¡¯t provoke He Tianxing, he should be able to shine even more. Now, he can only hide his power and bide his time,¡± Hu San said in a low voice.

    Both Long Yue and Long Yunyi did not bear pleasant expressions on their faces.

    Hu San did not know what rtionship Qin Feng had with Long Yue, believing it to only be his own fault. He did not expect that the two S-tiers would also feel angry, now he felt that he was not able to properly protect Qin Feng, a B-tier, and had lost face.

    Now, he could only let Qin Feng hide.

    But, unbeknownst to everyone, Qin Feng had never thought of hiding. He returned to the Battlegod¡¯s Tomb and his first thought was revenge, to kill He Tianxing!

 Chapter 856 - You People Are Making A Mess

    <h4>Chapter 856: You People Are Making A Mess</h4>

    In the Battlegod Tomb, Qin Feng started to prepare things for Bai Li, taking out countless expensive elixirs, spirit herbs as if money did not matter in treating her wounds and feeding her!

    With such a splurge, Bai Li¡¯s injuries became minor cuts. After resting up for one week, she would be alright.

    ¡°Qin Feng, what are your ns? Are we going to just let that He Tianxing go?¡± Bai Li was absolutely infuriated, as a beast deity, she had an extremely great amount of arrogance.

    ¡°No, we¡¯re going to kill him!¡± Qin Feng said with absolute certainty.

    He sat cross-legged in a meditative posture, but in his mind raced those violent and manic thoughts.

    Killing He Tianxing as soon as possible.

    In theory, if Qin Feng had reached A-tier, using the assasination tactics he had learned from Guan Jinhau, who was to say he would not be able to kill an S-tier.

    After all, Guan Jinhau seeded, who was to say Qin Feng would not?

    Of course, Guan Jinhau specialized in this kind of thing. Qin Feng had more methods of subterfugepared to him, more power, but less experience in assassination.

    However, experience could be made up for with raw power.

    While it was naturally impossible for him to be an S-tier immediately, it was not impossible to be an A-tier.

    He looked internally at his dantian. Due to that battle, the internal force in his dantian had been exhausted but the capacity was still at 500 pools worth in terms of pockets.

    He was halfway through with ranking up, but this definitely would not be easy to umte.

    The easiest way to do so was to kill.

    How much did he need to kill?

    For ancient warriors B5-tier and above, it would have to be around three hundred.

    However, for ancient warriors A5-tier and above, he only needed to kill thirty people!

    Was the opportunity not right in front of him?

    When the Blood River Realm appeared, S-tier powerhouses appeared again and again and an S-tier powerhouse usually had more than ten A-tiers as subordinates.

    In the Blood River Realm, taking down these people, let alone thirty, even three hundred or three thousand was possible!

    Of course, Qin Feng would not indiscriminately kill innocent people, but those from the Dark Coalition, especially Ayshan and He Tianxing¡¯s subordinates, did not need to think about it.

    As long as he had reached A-tier and his internal force had be a sea, he would not hesitate to take action and kill He Tianxing.

    After he revealed his n, Bai Li was ready to set out immediately.

    ¡°Calm down, let¡¯s wait a few days. We¡¯ll talk once your injuries have been properly healed,¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°I can go to the Flowing Realm to rest,¡± Bai Li immediately said, ¡°A gentleman¡¯s revenge can be best served cold, but a woman¡¯s revenge is best served piping hot!¡±

    Qin Feng was amused by Bai Li¡¯s y on words.

    ¡°Where did thate from?¡±

    ¡°From this eager vengeful heart.¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright, don¡¯t you worry,¡± Qin Feng¡¯s expression turned cold and filled with murderous intent. ¡°Even if you want to kill He Tianxing now, we need to get our stepping stones together first!¡±

    Qin Feng said, opening up the Bounty Hunter Network

    This time, he was going to scroll through the battle.

    The Bounty Hunter Network was established by the S-tiers. Previously in Niumeng City, the C-tiers would not be wanted but on the international scale, even S-tiers were likely to be on there, as it was a death list.

    Otherwise, why would Guan Jinhau assassinate an S-tier, just for the fame?

    Rewards, the things left behind after killing an S-tier, were all powerful temptations.

    So now, Qin Feng would do this too.

    He began to search based on his memory and some of thetest news secretly announced by the Bounty Hunter Network, quickly locking onto thirty people.

    These thirty A-tiers would not know what wasing in the future. They were even very happy that they were able to follow their S-tier powerhouses to explore the Blood River Realm, and even reap huge benefits there.

    Of course, some people had also noticed the blow the Fengli Organization suffered.

    Secretly, there were already countless rumors being passed on.

    ¡°Have you heard? The Fengli Organization has withdrawn from the Blood River Realm!¡±

    ¡°I heard, it¡¯s because someone provoked an S-tier aptitude user!¡±

    ¡°What? Isn¡¯t that a death sentence?¡±

    ¡°This Qin Feng, his journey was so smooth, he was bound to stumble eventually!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, now it depends on whether he can make it through. If not, then...¡±

    There were already quite a number of people who had begun to stare at the plumpmb that was Qin Feng.

    From the looks of things, Qin Feng was just about to receive a death sentence.

    ***

    Meanwhile, at the top of Dragon Capital, a majestic female voice called out with a harsh, steely tone.

    ¡°You people are making a total mess of it all!¡±

    Behind this woman was a three dimensional image of mountains and rivers. She was wearing a typical military uniform. The frame of her badge on her chest depicted a soaring golden dragon.

    What was more noticeable was the letter and number on this woman¡¯s badge!

    S. 8!

    At present time, this was Huaxia¡¯s strongest.

    The S8 ancient warrior, the City Duke of the Dragon Capital, the first ever in Huaxia, Long Ting!

    Long Ting had a majestic face, she maintained the appearance of a thirty year-old woman without a trace of wrinkles on her face and corners of her eyes. She was very beautiful, but she did not pass off as too young for it to be convincing.

    Her eyes were sharp, she had a gaze that made people want to surrender if she casted her nce on them.

    Long Ting¡¯s voice continued to ring. ¡°Qin Feng incidentally helped Hu San. You didn¡¯t support him, but you want hispany to abandon the great prospects of the Blood River Realm. What would the others say? Wouldn¡¯t people start having ideas about hispany? Just because of the leader of the Dark Coalition, wouldn¡¯t you as the strongest ones in the Human Alliance fight against He Tianxing? At least try to deter him?¡±

    ¡°You actually wanted Qin Feng to leave? Have him keep a low profile?¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you think he¡¯d feel terrible about this?¡±

    ¡°Just, just what were you all thinking? He is a member of the Huaxia Alliance. He gets bullied and seriously injured, he didn¡¯t even have anyone to support him. He just needed some of your things and then up and left?¡±

    Long Ting got more and more aggravated as she spoke.

    Qin Feng, asst year¡¯s prodigy, naturally had everyone¡¯s attention. This young man was really extraordinary. After all, they had never had a C-tier participate in the Prodigy Tournament under the age of twenty.

    However, Qin Feng did.

    After that, the Huaxia Alliance had been keeping tabs on Qin Feng. While Long Ting knew about the news surrounding him, she did not care too much.

    But now, she was absolutely shocked!

    He managed to survive He Tianxing¡¯s Sky Shadow Sword. Would that not be worthy of attention? So who should the future of the Huaxia Alliance be entrusted to?

    ¡°Hu San made a mistake, are you making a mistake too?¡± Long Ting scolded again.

    While she did respect her elders, but on key issues she was going to be resentful that people were not able to meet her expectations, and was impatient when it came to improvements.

    On the other end of themunicator, Long Yue and Long Yunyi were embarrassed by Long Ting.

    While Long Ting was indeed much younger than them, she was stronger than them. What was more, there was always bound to be a leader in the family.

    They were all born with a kind of decision-making ability, not like Long Yunyi¡¯s frivolous sloppiness, nor was it rigid like Long Yue¡¯s.

    Mang of Long Ting¡¯s decisions were extremely appropriate, and it was also because of her existence that Dragon Capital and the Long family could exist until this day.

    ¡°Then, what should I do now?¡± Long Yunyi said somewhat hesitantly.

    This great granddaughter of his was really amazing.

    ¡°It just so happens that I and the Fengli Organization have an agreement. This time, I will personally go there and I will send the Fengli Organization to the Blood River Realm!¡±

    Long Ting made up her mind and announced her views!

    She wanted to go there in person!

    This sentence shocked the two people on the other side.

    Long Ting had not left Dragon Capital for eight years!

 Chapter 857 - Long Ting is Here!

    <h4>Chapter 857: Long Ting is Here!</h4>

    Long Ting¡¯s outrage caused both Long Yunyi and Long Yue to me themselves, they indeed felt that they had done something uncalled for.

    However, in Qin Feng¡¯s mind there were no such thoughts. That was because he did not feel like he had to rely on certain S-tiers.

    In his past life, he became a mercenary lord all by himself.

    After his rebirth, even when he had be a member of the Huaxia Alliance, his contribution was definitely far more than the resources the Huaxia Alliance had used to cultivate him.

    Therefore, he had always believed that the Huaxia Alliance and he were only mutually beneficial and did not have that rtionship where either side was a subordinate.

    What was more, Qin Feng knew some basic principles!

    Between S-tiers, if you were not able to make a move then you should not make a move or else it would just be chaos.

    In the Blood River Realm, the S-tiers had only fought a few times and spatial rifts had been torn open as a result. After a few more times, that realm would implode.

    Therefore, Qin Feng understood what Long Yue and the others were thinking.

    However, Long Ting made her decision because she was afraid that Qin Feng would think too much of it.

    ***

    In the Battlegod Tomb, Qin Feng sat cross-legged with the Magical Tesseract floating in front of him. At the same time, he merged items one after another into it.

    The S-tier metals previously given by Long Yue and Hu San were added to form the primary alloy.

    A pair ofbat boots appeared in the Magical Tesseract.

    Due to being made of a special material, these boots had a different kind of shine to it, and the bright ming light made it look like it was about to fly off at any time.

    These were S-tier god armor-like boots, which would definitely increase Qin Feng¡¯s speed.

    However, with this dazzling color, even if Qin Feng added some other materials, when he infused it with energy there was no way of hiding its shine.

    And if Qin Feng was going to assassinate He Tianxing, it was best he made a suit of armor suited for stealth.

    Qin Feng took out the leather from the Glutton Leviathan.

    The Glutton Leviathan, as an A-tier beast that almost advanced into beast deity level, was not weak. The defensive power of its skin was even more powerful. Hepressed the leather and straight up made a set of beast king-levelbat uniforms, but this was in no way able topare with god armor. The difference was still too big.

    It should be enough!

    As Qin Feng rested in Fengli City, there were even more rumors from the outside. It seemed that everyone was starting to look down on the Fengli Organization.

    After offending an S-tier, it made the Fengli Organization uneasy. Some people also started to have some thoughts about thepany.

    They were like a pack of sharks, peeping at therge ship that was Fengli from below the water¡¯s surface, waiting for it to sink so that they could feed on its crew.

    On the third day of Qin Feng¡¯s return.

    In Fengli City, twenty kilometers away from the end of the construction zone of a huge road, arge circr spatial passage suddenly appeared.

    The legions stationed here were all unsurprised. This was Fengli City, it was the seat of thepany that studied airships that could spatially travel. They often saw rifts like this.

    It was soon that they noticed something strange, because this passage was a little bigger than what the airships used to open up. Not only that, it was a dragon boat that emerged from the dark spatial passage.

    While the Fengli Organization, which belonged to Qin Feng, was indeed the leading group in promoting spatial warping, it was not the only one.

    There were some people who had their own airships thirty years before Qin Feng did.

    This was a symbol of Huaxia.

    Many people recognized it.

    On that dragon boat, the character for ¡®Dragon¡¯ was depicted on it with a flourish!

    Dragon Capital, the Long family!

    It was known that as the top family of China, this family, due to having too many S-tiers, even had their own different realms where they lived in, in order to prevent some people from retaliating on them.

    Therefore, everyone in the Long family who appeared in the outside world had S-tier levels of strength.

    And the Dragon Boat represented the Long family. Once it appeared, it was likely to carry a powerful person.

    As soon as the Dragon Boat appeared, the garrison immediately reported it. Qin Feng, who was originally resting, carried doubts in his head as he also came out to greet this person.

    When Qin Feng arrived, he found that Xue Xingfu was personally receiving ady in a military uniform, paying her respects with a rather indescribable expression of excitement on his face.

    Xue Xingfu rarely showed such an unprofessional expression.

    At this moment, the woman seemed to sense Qin Feng¡¯s arrival and then smiled at him.

    ¡°General Qin, this is our first time meeting. I presume I¡¯m not interrupting anything?¡±

    This woman had grace yet was an intimidating force, she was trying to manage a gentle attitude toward Qin Feng.

    He also recognized the other person at this moment.

    It was actually Long Ting.

    ¡°Premier Long!¡± Qin Feng said, ¡°Premier Long, you shouldn¡¯t be presuming. Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling at Fengli!¡±

    Long Ting smiled, but did not pay much heed to Qin Feng¡¯s polite remarks.

    ¡°I¡¯m here this time mainly to let your Fengli Organization upgrade the Dragon Boat!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his brows, only to upgrade the Dragon Boat. Did Long Ting need to go out of her way to do it? Everyone knew that Long Ting seemed to have not left Dragon Capital for many years.

    However, he did not try to pry and asked Xue Xingfu to follow as he personally took Long Ting to upgrade the Dragon Boat.

    As for information leaks and things like that, would an S-tier even care about such things?

    Even if he let the other watch, they probably would not bother trying to figure it out!

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Premier Long to personallye. Mr. Xue, let¡¯s take Premier Long for a visit in person!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°It just so happens that the previous design blueprints and transformative blueprints have already been prepared, I can enter the factory for the upgrade immediately!¡±

    This transaction had been received two months ago, and cooperating with Dragon Capital¡¯s Long family was the equivalent of raising the prestige of the Fengli Organization.

    However, it was unexpected that Long Ting woulde in person.

    Xue Xingfu naturally did not think that the other person was here to keep an eye on the Dragon Boat, in fact, all this was because of Qin Feng.

    Sure enough, afterward, Long Ting spoke to the two in a gentle manner.

    ¡°The technology the Dragon Boat used was very sessful in its time, but every time it jumped through space it consumed a lot of energy. It requires a lot of manpower and aptitude users inside to operate. It¡¯s not something a C-tier aptitude user could ride! Though, in these past years there hasn¡¯t been a war so we haven¡¯t used it frequently!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s still Fengli¡¯s technology that is good and rtively stable!¡±

    ¡°Oh, is this a newly-invented energy cannon? It looks so powerful, very impressive!¡±

    Xue Xingfu worked hard in introducing Long Ting to all the things, she did not care about his lower strength and the two of them were fond of chatting with one another. The transformation of the Dragon Boat only took about two days.

    After the visit, Xue Xingfu did not try to make random arrangements because he did not know what Long Ting¡¯s next thoughts were but it was obvious that she had something in mind.

    ¡°General Qin, you suffered injuries before, are you alright now?¡± Long Ting asked.

    Qin Feng¡¯s injuries were healed by the time he returned. Now that Long Ting was inquiring, he had no intention of concealing it.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good. Now, the situation about the Blood River Realm rtes to a matter of arranging new resources. There aren¡¯t many people under Long Yue and Long Yunyi. If the Fengli Organization wants to hold on to this realm, I will be very supportive of it!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at Long Ting in the eye as she regarded him calmly. It was easy to understand what these two were thinking from just a nce!

 Chapter 858 - Making A Comeback

    <h4>Chapter 858: Making A Comeback</h4>

    Not much exnation was needed when talking to intelligent people.

    Qin Feng looked into the other¡¯s eyes and said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll head out again.¡±

    Long Ting also said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, He Tianxing and Ayshan can¡¯t touch you. These two people, I will have someone remove them from the Blood River Realm!¡±

    The words from Huaxia¡¯s top leader were never in vain.

    When she said that, what it meant was that she would literally use everything in her power to shove out He Tianxing¡¯s power.

    Sometimes, an S-tier was indeed the tyrant of it all, but in regards to allocating resources, one always needed subordinates.

    If Long Ting issued the order topletely block out He Tianxing and Ayshan¡¯s people. These two people would not be able to gain a foothold unless they killed everyone else. Even if they could stay, they would only have control over remote ces with less resources.

    Long Ting¡¯s words were a promise to Qin Feng.

    ¡°I will also join the clean-up crew, after all, this is a feud I caused!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Long Ting did not care how he would react, but looked at him with admiration.

    ¡°With you, I believe this will be finished soon!¡±

    The two had a pleasant exchange in the afternoon. Long Ting only stayed for three hours before returning to Dragon Capital. The Dragon Boat was left behind for its modification.

    It was just that Long Ting¡¯s arrival had already caused an uproar in the world outside!

    ¡°Is this news for real? Long Ting went to Fengli City?¡±

    ¡°What? She actually stayed in Feng li City for three hours? Long Ting, that woman hasn¡¯t left Dragon Capital for many years! What kind of high profile thing is this?¡±

    ¡°Premier Long seems to support Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°What for?¡±

    Others always felt that this was simply overkill.

    Qin Feng was not too bothered by it, but there were a lot of rumors that there was actually someone strong like Long Ting making a headway for Qin Feng!

    That was incredible!

    Originally, there were some people who had thoughts about thepany and they dropped their ideas of trying to take on the Fengli Organization!

    A storm ended before it had even begun.

    Qin Feng looked as if he was not returning to avoid the limelight, but was just injured and resting. Now, he was making aeback.

    Two dayster!

    Outside the Styx, one team after another was blockaded. If it was not a team with an S-tier leader, it was impossible for them to rush in. Even those with A-tiers were intercepted by the North African Republic Alliance.

    Cleaves upied the entrance to the Styx, joining forces with more than a dozen A-tier leaders. In front of him were seven to eight A-tier aptitude users.

    The two sides were in conflict, there might be fighting at any moment.

    ¡°Cleaves, don¡¯t be outrageous, this isn¡¯t your secret realm!¡±

    ¡°The entrance to the Styx is in my home. What can you do about it? This is my territory, fine I¡¯ll let the S-tiers masters in, but you people? Who do you think you are?¡± Cleaves said coldly.

    He had brought people from the North African Republic Alliance to seal it all down.

    The items inside the Blood River Realm were indeed very tempting. While this blockade could not prevent people from entering, it would at least stop those low-level aptitude users from entering to take advantage of the situation. The fewer people that were participating, the more people would get as a whole.

    Of course, the number of people entering the ce was not as low either.

    Cleaves had the innate advantage, with people from the North African Republic Alliance, they were stuck here. They did not charge any fees, they did not open up and they were not allowed to enter.

    This kind of selfish behavior was bound to arouse people¡¯s anger.

    At this moment, in the dark, some men in ck robes wearing nes decorated with fangs shed bloodthirsty grins.

    The ughterspears were a top Dark Coalition group in the North African Republic Alliance¡¯s territory, and even their boss was an S-tier ancient warrior. In this case, these people were as powerful as Ayshan¡¯s subordinates.

    ¡°Get ready, this is a good opportunity for us!¡±

    A man stuck his tongue out and licked his teeth, showing a hideous expression.

    Then, the energy from his dantian was infused into the spear in his hand before he violently attacked.

    At the same time as the attack, the man also roared. His internal force vibrated as the voice came from all directions.

    ¡°To hell with this nonsense, we¡¯re going in!¡±

    Whoosh!

    The spear flew out through the dark, piercing the air as it fell into the entrance of the spatial rift and mmed down in front of Cleaves and the others.

    All of a sudden, as if kicking a ho¡¯s nest, Cleaves also roared, ¡°You sons of b*tches, how dare you?¡±

    Those who had the ability to fight them were also caught off guard by this sudden change, but when Cleaves and the others attacked them they naturally had to resist. In an instant, everyone fought in a chaotic sh.

    The ughterspears hid in the dark, killing one person after another. For a while, the entrance to the Blood River Realm was in total chaos.

    At this moment, a dark spatial passage emerged in the sky.

    The passage expanded in the blink of an eye and was unprecedentedlyrge.

    This kind of spatial passage was, in fact, something many people had seen once or twice.

    As many people had obtained airships from the Huaxia region, they all had such functions. Every time he saw these people, Cleaves felt like he was going to get a migraine.

    However, Cleaves could not take care of either situation at the same time!

    However, after the spatial passage appeared, it was not the usual ovr airship that came out, but a bright yellow Dragon Boat.

    As for the Dragon Boat, perhaps a low-level aptitude user would not know what it meant but aptitude users A-tier and above knew what it was

    In an instant, their expressions changed.

    The Dragon Boat!

    That was the Dragon Boat that represented the strongest power in all of Huaxia.

    However, it was not over yet!

    After the Dragon Boat came through, the spatial passage did not close yet. One after another, airships flew out of the passage.

    One, two, three...There were actually seven in total.

    Moreover, these airships all showed the logo of a particrpany.

    It was due to these airships, at the very beginning, that incited the mad rush into the Blood River Realm. These people all knew whichpany it was!

    ¡°Fengli!¡±

    Cleaves stared at the airships.

    What¡¯s going on? Why did Qin Fenge back again?

    It was at this moment, a figure leapt out from the Dragon Boat.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    Countless dark shadows quickly spread out and rushed toward a spot on the ground.

    ¡°Aaaah!!!¡±

    ¡°What?!¡±

    ¡°Who?¡±

    A group of people panicked, but in the blink of an eye, a sharp de pierced through their internal force shield.

    Not only that, a terrifying aura surrounded the area.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Among these seven people, it was as if the dantians of the four ancient warriors had a hole punctured into them and something was wildly absorbing their internal force.

    In the blink of an eye, these four people slumped to the ground.

 Chapter 859 - He Tianxing in Anger

    <h4>Chapter 859: He Tianxing in Anger</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s attack was out of the blue, and those from ughterspear were definitely unprepared.

    Four ancient warriors mmed on the ground, only three ability users were left in shock.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    They were unable to determine what sort of trick Qin Feng had used. Although they knew Qin Feng was a B-tier aptitude user, they were still afraid to take the risk!

    One of them was even a dark ability user, and it had allowed this ability user to remain undetected and continue to stir up the chaotic situation from behind!

    Unfortunately, he did not know that Qin Feng was also a dark ability user.

    That ability user released masses of dark clouds to hide his escape from the vision of the crowd. However, as he was escaping from the dark clouds, a shing sword ray appeared, and the dark ability user was stabbed in the stomach.

    ¡°How...could this...¡±

    The A-tier dark ability user could notprehend the reason for his failed escape!

    Dark abilities began to deteriorate along with his heavy wound, only then he noticed the unexpected dark shadows around, and they were all embedded with dark runes that were more intense than his.

    It was a sudden realization for him; however, it was also the moment when he realized the cause of his own death.

    ¡°Poof!¡±

    A hollow shadow dashed across, while the skull of the dark ability user was tossed up, separated from his body and falling onto the ground!

    The remaining two ability users also let out their miserable shrieks as they were beheaded.

    Hundreds of hollow shadows began to slowly disappear and consolidate as one, followed by Qin Feng revealing himself to the crowd.

    Cleaves saw him and he opened his eyes wide again.

    ¡°Qin Feng, damn it, why is he back again?¡±

    Knowing that Qin Feng had already returned to Fengli, there should be nobody else to contest their resource loot. Unexpectedly, in less than a week, the person that had benefited from the initial bloom had returned again!

    Although Qin Feng had only been away for a week, he was undoubtedly the first to enter into the spatial rift and had profited the most from it. The reason was because, at that moment, countless numbers of dead ultra beast corpses were umted within the rift.

    Now, most of the corpses were dredged from the surface, while those corpses that were at the bottom of the Blood River required careful exploration.

    Ultra beasts that appeared within the rift would still need to be hunted down. Fengli would still eventually be able to easily profit from it, while the others were required to work hard topete.

    Therefore, resources that they had umted for a week were being pressured by countless numbers of aptitude users that contested in the Blood River Realm. Not to mention, with the suppression from the S-tiers, Cleaves¡¯ umted profit was not even one tenth of the total amount that the Fengli Organization had obtained.

    Now that Qin Feng had returned again, Cleaves would definitely be livid.

    ¡°Cleaves? Am I not weed? If it was not because of me, all of you could have been killed by them today!¡±

    Qin Feng conveyed the message via his consciousness as he picked up a ughterspear ne and tossed it over.

    The others instantly saw the logo of the ne, and they were shocked.

    Recalling the moment of the battle earlier, was someone secretly inciting chaos?

    Being part of the Human Alliance, Cleaves¡¯ people were still behaving appropriately. But those that were part of ughterspear would definitely not hesitate to wipe them out.

    ¡°This... hmph, killing everyone from the Dark Coalition, isn¡¯t it normal? Don¡¯t assume that you will be appreciated, I will still not let you in!¡± Cleaves amplified his harsh response.

    ¡°Is that so?¡±

    Qin Feng gave a casual answer, and he actually did not care about Cleaves stopping him.

    Qin Feng had only lightly touched his Verdant Emperor Saber, and four ancient warriors were already paralyzed on the ground with all of them beheaded.

    Then, intense mes were sted out in seven paths, incinerating all beheaded corpses of the Dark Coalition aptitude users from ughterspear. Certainly, Qin Feng was nning to keep the seven remaining skulls to im for reward from the bounty hunterwork. Some of them were evil crime figures that were hated by many, and perhaps they were also on the assassin wanted list. Qin Feng could easily im for double rewards.

    However, the seven skulls that were floating around him looked horrifying.

    Cleaves had a difficult time calming himself down, and he was already sweating.

    Qin Feng ced the skulls into his spatial rune equipment. Then, eight massive aircrafts were already closing in from the sky. They were led by the Dragon Boat that came with its pressuring and intimidating presence.

    ¡°Cleaves, I am here to deliver aircrafts for the S-tier master, are you sure you want to stop me?¡±

    Cleaves¡¯s lips twitched as he clenched his teeth, and reluctantly said, ¡°All of you can enter!¡±

    Aptitude users that fought with Cleaves were also making a fuss, they obviously also wanted to enter.

    Cleaves felt that if he were to continue to stop them, the crowd would only growrger. Hence, he decided to let all of them in!

    ¡°All of you are allowed to enter, but each of you will have to pay one billion power credits!¡±

    Although the A-tiers could afford the amount, it was obvious that the price that Cleaves had asked for was too much, and unreasonable. Also, they A-tiers were unable to bring along their subordinates, and they could only explore the region by themselves.

    However, when thinking of the life-extending blood concentrated crystals, all of them were tempted!

    Qin Feng did not care about the trades, he stepped up to the sky and flew into the Dragon Boat. All seven aircrafts then flew into the giant rift.

    Qin Feng sat down cross-legged in the aircraft as he devoured and absorbed the excessive internal strength within his body.

    Among those A-tier ancient warriors from ughterspear, two of them were A2-tier ancient warriors, one of them was an A4-tier, and the remaining one was an A5-tier.

    Upon thepletion of internal strength absorption, Qin Feng had gained extra forty pools of internal strength.

    Now, Qin Feng had already umted five hundred and fifty pools of internal strength within his internal strength dantian.

    Qin Feng¡¯s urge to kill was exposed, while the smell of blood began to intensify in the surrounding air. Perhaps, it was an indication for Qin Feng to unleash a massive ughter at that ce.

    The Dragon Boat travelled through the broad space, while many aptitude user witnesses were shocked by the presence of the airship. They thought that the most powerful woman from Huaxia hade!

    Some of the S-tiers were even informed.

    ***

    In an earth fortress within the Blood River Realm, a tall and well-built man suddenly threw a cup in hand and broke it.

    Crack!

    The crystal cup shattered and broken pieces scattered everywhere.

    ¡°How dare hee back?¡±

    He Tianxing was consumed by his burning urge to kill.

    Fire Phoenix was shocked and kneeled down before him, she was afraid that the treacherous man would harm the innocent.

    ¡°Go, gather up ten top-tier assassins for me, and assassinate Qin Feng!¡±

    He Tianxing gave hismand.

    Qin Feng had returned with the Dragon Boat, it had indicated Long Ting¡¯s stance in the case, and He Tianxing could no longer take matters into his own hands!

    However, he could still hire someone else to do it on his behalf!

    Qin Feng had to be eliminated!

    ¡°Yes, Duke!¡± Phoenix received themand and quickly left in fear.

 Chapter 860 - Gong Ge Seeking Refuge

    <h4>Chapter 860: Gong Ge Seeking Refuge</h4>

    On the other hand, as soon as Qin Feng returned to the Blood River Realm, he had immediately received reception from Long Yue who was stationed there.

    ¡°Qin Feng, looks like you have recovered from your injuries?¡± Long Yue asked.

    ¡°Hmm, much better now!¡±

    ¡°Not bad, you are still young and recovering fast. Now you can be assured that if He Tianxinges for you again, I will definitely not allow him to threaten you anymore!¡±

    ¡°Then, I shall first thank you, Battlesaint Long!¡±

    Both of them clearly knew what had happened, and Long Yue did not exin much about him asking Qin Feng to step back either.

    Those were already unimportant to talk about.

    The Blood River battlefield had already been divided by major influences, and the Dark Coalition had even infiltrated into their own region. However, as soon rifts begin to appear, they might probably swarm in altogether to hunt down ultra beasts or prey on Gorefiends.

    Within a week, the number of Gorefiends had plummeted significantly.

    Qin Feng did not know the exact location of the Gorefiends either. He only knew some of those ces that had a high probability of rifts urring and they were still undiscovered by others.

    Therefore, Qin Feng led his people from the Fengli Organization to maintain a constant distance from the Blood River battlefield. It seemed to be a little far away from the target location.

    ¡°Get down from the airship, establish earth walls, spray around the blood coagnt!¡±

    ¡°Yes, President!¡±

    Aptitude users began toe down from the airship. Not only had Qin Feng brought along B-tier aptitude users, he had also led a bunch of C-tiers that totaled up to about two hundred people.

    All of them would not take part in the battle, but they were all required to perform intelligence gatherings and loot collecting.

    Of course, there were risks associated with them, but Qin Feng did not have much choice due to his limited manpower avability.

    Soon, earth ability users had established a fortress and secured the initial simple defence measure, while the airship remained floating in the air to pose as a battle threat.

    ¡°President, an aptitude user master is looking for you! Although he is wearing a B-tier badge, I feel that he is most probably an A-tier.¡± A subordinate approached and reported.

    ¡°A-tier aptitude user?¡± Qin Feng did not know who that was, but his consciousness scan had immediately noticed that it was indeed a familiar acquaintance.

    Qin Feng walked out from the earth fortress and looked toward the person that was wearingbat fatigues, he was holding amunicator and had even cut his hair short.

    ¡°A rare visitor, Elder Gong!¡± Qin Feng mocked.

    This person was the first batch of elders that had officiallye into the Blood River Realm.

    ¡°Mister Qin, I am finally able to meet you!¡± Gong Ge saw Qin Feng and his eyes were brimming with tears of excitement.

    He had indeed suffered a lot the past few days.

    The aftermath of the battle between Qin Feng and He Tianxing had affected the natives that had travelled via the rift, and they had absolutely lost their ability to defend themselves. They had no choice but to stay away from the battle of the S-tiers so they had moved further away and settled down at the other end of the Blood River battlefield.

    However, as the neers began to grow, Gong Ge¡¯s position as an A-tier was being threatened. He was neglected by others and his living space had be smaller.

    Initially, Cleaves was nning to render his help as he was also a light ability user. But in a blink of an eye, Gong Ge was targeted by a Dark Coalition group. During the night, five A-tiers had worked together to annihte all two to three hundred people that were saved by Qin Feng earlier.

    Only Gong Ge alone was able to escape, and he had realized the difference of the humans that had newly appeared. He then directly killed one victim for the badge and put it on himself. He had even searched the victim¡¯s spatial rune equipment for clothes and other stuff.

    Only then Gong Ge was able topletely escape from his fate of being killed. Also, everyone had begun to keep an eye on those copsed regions. Even the Gorefiends would definitely not care whether he had hidden his true identity or not.

    Gong Ge wailed desperately as he forced Qin Feng to listen to his pitiable encounters for the past few days.

    ¡°Elder Gong, although I feel sorry for your encounter, please allow me to be direct. Seems like I am unable to help with your current situation!¡±

    ¡°No, dear mister, I clearly know about your capability. Perhaps you might need another helping hand, I am willing to serve you!¡± Gong Ge immediately began to promote himself.

    Compared to the others, Gong Ge definitely had faith in Qin Feng. Initially, he was about to coborate with Cleaves but he was immediately rejected.

    Gong Ge was too ambitious for Cleaves to work with, and coborating A-tiers would not necessarily mean equality. Most probably the reward would remain the same, but the profit would have to be halved.

    Hence, it was impossible for Cleaves to agree to it.

    But Qin Feng did not have the same concern, he could already resist a S-tier with his own capability. Even Gong Ge and Cleaves that were both A-tiers would not be qualified as his opponents.

    Such a person would not be an ideal partner, but would definitely be a loyal servant!

    Qin Feng instantly became interested in the proposal; Gong Ge was definitely an ambitious person. But Qin Feng was totally unafraid of such a person, he could just control this person by letting him know the dire consequences of betraying him.

    Also, Qin Feng was looking exactly for an A-tier to be stationed at the location.

    ¡°Considering your pitiful situation, I¡¯ll take you in temporarily. As for those Dark Coalition users that killed your people, let¡¯s go, let me get revenge for you!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    Regardless of whether the humans that appeared in the copsed region were tied to Qin Feng or not, he had already saved them before.

    They could be killed by any unfortunate event, but being ughtered mercilessly and robbed of their wealth was greatly despised by Qin Feng.

    Those who murdered shall be killed by others.

    Killing those murderers was the most effective way to stop them.

    Furthermore, Qin Feng would have to kill to advance his Asteroid Assimtion skill. It would not cost him anything to kill those Dark Coalition users.

    ¡°Ah? No, forget about getting revenge!¡± Gong Ge immediately weakened his tone. There were five of them, four ancient warriors and one thunder ability user. If Gong Ge did not run fast enough, he would have certainly been killed.

    Why would he still go back to them?

    How could Gong Ge act in such a dumb way?

    ¡°You don¡¯t believe in me?¡± Qin Feng mocked with a grimugh, ¡°You don¡¯t even have the basic trust in me, how will you prove your loyalty to me?¡±

    ¡°Mister Qin, not like this. To me, I don¡¯t think we need to take this risk!¡±

    ¡°To you, it is a risk. To me, it¡¯s just getting revenge!¡±

    ¡°Well...¡±

    ¡°Lead the way!¡±

    Qin Feng became harsh with his tone, while Gong Ge trembled as he realized that he had reacted in such a contradicting way. He then made up his callous mind and directly led Qin Feng there.

    ¡®It¡¯s not me who is sending you to die, don¡¯t me me for it. Is this really happening, it was so difficult for me to find this refuge. Why would he still send himself to die, is Qin Feng a brainless person?¡¯

    Gong Ge mocked deep down, but it was impossible for him to voice out his thoughts.

    Qin Feng did not use his airship, and he instructed Bai Li to be stationed at the same location. He then took an aircraft and led Gong Ge to head toward the location of the Dark Coalition group!

 Chapter 861 - Gate of Fear

    <h4>Chapter 861: Gate of Fear</h4>

    The Dark Coalition group that had annihted Gong Ge¡¯s people was none other than Ayshan¡¯s henchmen, and they were from the Gate of Fear.

    Ayshan was a mad viin that had his own corporation, but he often acted on his own and would only care about his subordinates whenever he needed them. Else, he would totally disregard them.

    Furthermore, it was normal for them to operate illegally as they belonged to the Dark Coalition. Being a Hellfire Ifrit himself, it was absolutely normal for Ayshan to eliminate any of his people without any valid justification.

    Which was why Gong Ge was terrified of him as he had further strengthened his presence at the Blood River Realm. As the number of people from the Gate of Fear grew higher, nobody was sure whether there were only five A-tiers with them.

    Both of them were indeed seemingly sending themselves to seek for their own death!

    However, Qin Feng did not care about that, he even hoped that more people from the Gate of Fear would be there!

    Now that Qin Feng no longer needed to protect Hu San, he even had the confidence to escape from Ayshan¡¯s attack.

    The aircraft glided across the sky above the maind of the Styx, while the fresh blood river and blood-red coloured nts were seen below.

    Every corporation distanced themselves far away from each other, as it was the best way to avoid conflicts.

    However, whenever profitable opportunities arose, they would immediately gather up for fights and killings.

    Suddenly, a small patch of rift appeared on the calm orange sky.

    ¡°Pow!¡±

    Spaces were then shattered.

    ¡°Beep beep beep beep, spatial rift detection, alert...¡±

    Qin Feng was alerted by the signal from his aircraft.

    Spatial copse began to ur ahead and was almost formed into shape, a giant rift then expanded across the entire sky.

    It was another appearance of a giant spatial rift.

    Followed by copsing pieces ofnd that fell off from the sky, crashing into the Blood River Realm and forming into mudflows.

    Ultra beasts surged and rushed out violently, while those that could not fly dived from the sky and instantly mmed to death on the ground. Those were absolutely fortunes that had descended from the sky.

    The reason for people from the Gate of Fear to upy the space was because of its ease of ess to the spot of loosened up space. Despite the danger of the location, it was definitely a favourable spot to be at.

    ¡°Coming, treasures areing!¡±

    ¡°Be prepared, hunt down any Gorefiends!¡±

    ¡°Be patient, wait for a little longer!¡±

    But not everyone was willing to wait any longer, some of those that had identified the spatial rift had already gathered around. Those from the Gate of Fear would definitely not allow them to im their share, and all of them stood up with their fierce and threatening looks.

    ¡°Get lost, don¡¯t you know who owns this territory? Do you wish to talk to our Hellfire Ifrit, he would be more than willing to tear all of you into pieces!¡±

    One of them shouted and warned.

    The others from the Gate of Fear burst intoughter.

    Aptitude users that had gathered around were obviously fearful of the presence of their opponent. They could only remain at their initial spot and wished for those ultra beast corpses to flow along the river to a distant location for them to scoop them up.

    From the sky, Qin Feng sneered as he looked at those people that were strutting arrogantly.

    ¡°You stay here and wait for the battle to end, then you can get someone over to clean up the battlefield!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Gong Ge did not understand what Qin Feng was about to do. But by the moment he had figured it out, Qin Feng had already jumped down from the aircraft.

    The crowd had grownrger by that time, people from the Gate of Fear did not even notice the person that had jumped down from the aircraft.

    Qin Fengnded on the ground and he was instantly shrouded by dark runes, his shadows then faded into the blood-red coloured trees.

    A person from the Gate of Fear was standing on a hill that was stacked up by an earth ability user. He was amplifying his voice with internal strength while instilling fear to scare people from other corporations or organizations away.

    He was pleased withcency, and even portrayed a viinous look that would irritate and leave the others with no choice but to beat him up to teach him a lesson.

    But everyone was afraid of Ayshan and would not risk going against the S-tier. The insignificant peanut from the Gate of Fear had definitely taken advantage of it to curse the others without any fear and threaten them to fall back.

    Of course, Ayshan was not actually there. S-tiers would definitely be exploring regions that were more dangerous. Only his name was being used to intimidate the outsiders, and he would only appear when the corporation faced any threats.

    Usually, their corporation would not receive any threats. Or else, the S-tiers would go after those who threatened them for revenge.

    Those were unspoken rules that were widely known. However, people from the Gate of Fear would never expect that it was the day where someone woulde by to break that rule.

    Qin Feng secretly rushed up to the hill!

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    Qinggong skills were initiated, but it did not cost much of Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength. His shadows split into ten duplicates and circled around the person from the Gate of Fear, and his opponent could not even reach to the edge of his sleeves!

    ¡°Who is it?!¡± The A5-tier ancient warrior that stood on the hill shouted out loud. In the next moment, his heart thumped.

    Phantom Shift was a famously known skill among those people.

    The S-tier qinggong skill that was acknowledged by researchers belonged to another legendary figure, a person that had managed to escape from He Tianxing¡ªan S-tier ancient warrior that was equipped with top-tier ancient warrior skills.

    ¡°Qin Feng!!!!¡± The spooked out A5-tier ancient warrior mentioned Qin Feng¡¯s name with unease. But the following moment, he was met with flickering fury des.

    ¡°Poof poof poof poof poof!¡±

    Five shes flickered and internal strength formed into ghost shadows, while simultaneous attacks embedded with dark rune presence wereunched. Those were the attacks that would definitely paralyze its victims.

    ¡°Ding!¡±

    The A-tier ancient warrior instantly released his internal strength shield to block the invasion of all five des.

    However, the hollow shadowsunched their attacks and immediately dispersed.

    They were originally non-physical matter.

    ¡°Ah! Be careful!¡±

    ¡°No!¡±

    ¡°Master Director!¡±

    People from the Gate of Fear cried out to alert the situation, but Qin Feng¡¯s speed was too fast.

    Qin Feng had already phantom shifted behind the A5-tier ancient warrior, only then the real Verdant Emperor Saber appeared and instantly shattered the internal strength shield of the aptitude user.

    That person was definitely adequately experienced as he was able to sense the vibrations from the internal strength shield and immediately escape.

    Unfortunately, Qin Feng was already prepared for it.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Horrifying absorption force exploded and forced the victim¡¯s body to remain at the same spot, and he even began to fall back.

    The victim could only feel his own body that was uncontroble. Even internal strength within his veins were reversing and the intense pain was unbearable.

    ¡°Ah ah ah ah! Save me, quickly!¡±

    The person shouted at those that were around, people from the Gate of Fear were furious and consumed by their own rage. They had no qualms at all and rushed forward as they held onto their internal strength embedded weapons on hand and waved toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was entangled with the A-tier aptitude user and definitely could not spare his attention to care about them. If they were able to seed in killing Qin Feng, it would definitely be a massive achievement for them!

    However as soon as they entered into the hundred-meter perimeter around Qin Feng, they then lost control of their own bodies. A massive field of internal strength was amplified and formed into a swirling vortex. All of their internal strength was drained out by the reversed flow of internal strength, and their veins were hurting in extreme pain!

    All of a sudden, more than twenty ancient warriors stood still on the ground with their bizarre poses. None of them could regain control of their own bodies, and they were tumbling everywhere!

 Chapter 862 - A Gory Battle Royale

    <h4>Chapter 862: A Gory Battle Royale</h4>

    Qin Feng smirked as he saw all these people who were there to provide free internal energies. He activated his Asteroid Assimtion and pulled these people toward him.

    ¡°Pch! Poosh! Poosh! Pch! Poosh!¡±

    His enemies¡¯ internal energy shields could not handle the force of Asteroid Assimtion and were broken one by one.

    Then, their internal energies began to flow out of their bodies freakily at a maddening speed.

    They had no idea what was going on. All they knew was the internal energies that they had trained for years to harness and acquire were now leaving their bodies like water in the gutter.

    The A5-tier ability user who was standing in the middle was grabbed by Qin Feng on the waist and his entire dantian was being drained like crazy.

    ¡°Repulsion!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his internal energy and created a massive repulsive force, which then tore the A-tier ability user to pieces.

    The other men too were sent flying away as they threw up blood. They were already dead when their bodiesnded on the ground.

    These people from the Gate of Fear were so boastful and prideful earlier; yet, they could never predict that they would lose twenty men in one hit. They were stunned when they saw Qin Feng kill their men¡ªthis young man seemed to not fear Ayshan at all.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you better behave! If you keep on attacking, I¡¯ll ask the Hellfire Ifrit to destroy your Fengli Organization!¡±

    One of the A-tiers from the Gate of Fear started to shriek out in panic.

    ¡°Sure, tell him toe!¡±

    A blink of murderous intent shed in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes as he replied to the man. His body flew up to the air, having activated the Phantom Shift, as soon as he finished his words.

    ¡°Stay... Stay away!!!¡±

    The ability user yelled out loudly, trying to warn Qin Feng to note any closer. However, that did not stop Qin Feng one bit.

    Seeing that his warnings were not yielding any results, the ability user quickly activated his powers as ast ditch attempt to save his own life.

    ¡°Electric Wall! Electric Lake!¡±

    He quickly formed a barrier that was made of electric currents, trying to stop Qin Feng from reaching him.

    Smirking, Qin Feng activated his consciousness.

    ¡°Fire Wall!¡±

    ¡°Boom!!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s Fire Wall burst out in front of everyone¡¯s eyes.

    Bzzt!!!!

    The two energy walls shed onto each other.

    In a split second, the violet electric barriers were torn open as a gush ofva flowed into the ability user¡¯s safe space before morphing into a raging fire dragon, which was carrying Qin Feng on its back, and lunging at the man.

    ¡°Pffft!!¡±

    The ability user was instantly beheaded!

    As soon as his head was cut off, the violet electric barriers were dissolved!

    The other members of the Gate of Fear started to flee for their lives when they saw this.

    It was then, a loud roar could be heard from the dimensional rift. Then, several massive ultra beasts walked out of the rift¡ªthey were all at least B-tier and above.

    ¡°Cro!!!¡±

    An ear-piercing bird shriek could be heard in the air before a ck-crow-like ultra beast flew out of the dimensional rift. This ultra beast was about a dozen meters¡¯ long and had a really loud voice.

    As soon as the crow flew out, its body began to expand and berger. In less than a minute, the crow had grown into a five-hundred-meter long massive bird. It spread out its wing in the air, blocking the sun from view!

    This ultra beast had an overwhelmingly threatening aura. It was so frightening that one would think it could devour them if the beast merely gave them a look!

    This ultra beast was a beast deity! A flying-type beast deity!

    ¡°Croww!!!¡±

    The ck Crow Deity let out another ear-piercing shriek. It was so loud that thebat hover copters¡¯ electronics were severely affected and led to them starting to shake around uncontrobly before crashing to the ground.

    Gong Ge was standing rather far away. As such, he was not quite as affected as the hover copters. Besides, he was riding on a hover-ride, which was an equipment that was much more technologically advanced than the hover copters. He quickly moved away in panic, trying to flee away from the terrifying ck Crow Deity. In fact, he was so terrified that he quickly looked for a secure ce tond before cowering in hiding. This was actually a smart move because as soon as the ck Crow Deity showed up, countless ck crows flew out of the dimensional rift and flocked to the sky.

    The ck Crow Deity seemed to not want to do any killing though. After shrieking out loudly again, it just zoomed high up to the sky and led its ck crow flock to another location far away.

    Qin Feng was surprised to see this flock of ck crows too.

    ¡°These crows are probably the infamous Blood Crow Flock. These creatures are not even native to the Blood River Realm... and damn, they even have a beast deity leading them too!¡±

    Thankfully the ck Crow Deity did not seem to have a blood lust yet. Perhaps this was due to it not having eaten anything in the Blood River Realm yet.

    At the very least, for now, everyone in the vicinity was spared their lives.

    Regardless, due to these men having nownded on the ground, they were now faced with not only the copious amount of ultra beasts and mutant nts but also the people from the Gate of Fear.

    Then, the ability users started to act!

    ¡°So what if you¡¯re from the Gate of Fear? Let¡¯s see just what you¡¯re made of! Fes! Let¡¯s get¡¯em!¡±

    ¡°You dare to attack us?! Are you not afraid of the great Hellfire Ifrit?!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s just bluffing. Even if you¡¯re killed, there¡¯s no way for the Ifrit to know who killed you. If he wants to avenge you, he would most likely seek revenge on Qin Feng, not us!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! Kill them! Then, these ultra beast corpses will belong to us!¡±

    ¡°Kill¡¯em!!¡±

    Then, a fearsome battle erupted.

    After seeing Qin Feng attack the Gate of Fear, these people had been emboldened to take on these criminals. Right now, they could kill all these people from the Gate of Fear and get a lot of loot. The best part? They did not have to worry about retaliation because Qin Feng would be the one who takes all the me.

    Qin Feng, of course, did not expect things to turn out this way.

    ¡°If you want to use me as a meat shield, then don¡¯t me me.¡± Qin Feng spoke coldly as his body was enveloped in dark runes.

    The ability users kept on killing and killing¡ªthey were now not just killing the members of the Gate of Fear but also the people who were trying topete for the ultra beasts¡¯ corpses.

    A B-tier beast emperor was struggling in the Blood River as countless Ichotoids emerged from the water and strangled it. In just minutes, the beast emperor had died.

    A B-tier ancient warrior, who was already waiting nearby, quickly lunged out of their hiding and shot his gun at the beast emperor. It did not take long before every drop of the beast emperor¡¯s blood began solidifying, killing the Ichortoids.

    The ancient warrior quickly approached its corpse in joy. However, as soon as he got close, eight other ability users unleashed their powers on him and murdered him in cold blood.

    After killing him, the others then started to fight amongst themselves to decide who should im the beast emperor¡¯s corpse.

    As the fight was going on, a ck shadow walked out of the woods and moved near the B-tier ancient warrior¡¯s lifeless body and absorbed the residue internal energy in it.

    Qin Feng moved around the battlefield out of others¡¯ sights using his dark runes and absorbed the dead ancient warriors¡¯ internal energies.

    If there were living ones that belonged to the Dark Coalition, Qin Feng also killed them without batting an eye.

    Still, even if every single one of the Dark Coalition¡¯s members were killed, the fight was not going to end!

    Right now, everyone in the scene only cared about the wealth that they could reap from this battlefield.

    They hadpletely forgotten about their duty to the alliance.

    They only cared about themselves right now!

 Chapter 863 - Seas of Internal Energy

    <h4>Chapter 863: Seas of Internal Energy</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Due to how chaotic the battle was raging on and the dark runes, no one noticed Qin Feng at all. Moving around the battlefield, Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy got stronger and stronger.

    600 pools of internal energy!

    650 pools of internal energy!

    700 pools of internal energy!

    Five ancient warriors from the Gate of Fear had given Qin Feng 200 pools of internal energies. Topping that up with other small meager internal energies that he could pick up here and there, Qin Feng¡¯s dantian was now brimming with internal energies!

    ¡°Devour!¡±

    Qin Feng started topress his internal energy. Before this, he only had 550 pools of internal energy¡ªthe ones that he had alreadypletely devoured and digested.

    Now, he was attempting topress the newly acquired internal energies. Hence, his overflowing dantian now contained around 630 pools of internal energies.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion was still running and he kept on absorbing the dead ancient warriors¡¯ internal energies around him.

    And there were too many of these dead ancient warriors. Qin Feng did not think that just one dimensional rift could solve his need for more internal energy.

    And this dimensional rift came very suddenly too.

    And these people here were too greedy for their own good.

    Thus, Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy kept rising.

    After a few rounds of absorbing andpressing, his internal energy had risen to 700 pools.

    Meanwhile, the battle was still going on. The ultra beasts¡¯ number had now grownrger than the humans who were present there as more and more Gorefiends snuck into the crowd, increasing human fatalities.

    Qin Feng could feel that his dantian was about to burst from absorbing internal energies. He needed to stop now.

    ¡°You cane out now.¡± Qin Feng used his consciousness tomunicate to Gong Ge.

    Hiding cowardly, Gong Ge could sense Qin Feng¡¯s presence. It would not be that difficult for him to locate Qin Feng due to him being a light ability user while Qin Feng was a dark ability user. However, he could only do that if Qin Feng revealed himself.

    Despite that, Gong Ge was able to realize that Qin Feng had killed several men from the Gate of Fear with ease and collected a lot of beast kings¡¯ corpses. Every time there was a battle, Qin Feng would participate in them, resulting in him collecting not just their powers and internal energies but also their equipment.

    Gong Ge felt that Qin Feng was such a mysterious, powerful entity. He was now more fearful of Qin Feng than ever before.

    ¡°Yes,ing!¡±

    Gong Gemandeered his hover-ride and moved to Qin Feng to pick him up.

    Qin Feng then activated the hover-ride¡¯s defense andmunication system before telling Bai Li to send some people over to collect the left-over resources on the battlefield.

    After that, Qin Feng began to meditate on the hover-ride.

    It had been a long time since hest felt his dantian being so full. As such, he needed to spend some time properly not justpressing but digesting them.

    Seeing that Qin Feng was notmandeering the hover-ride, Gong Ge did not dare to have any funny ideas too.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his internal energy.

    Then, he could feel as though his dantian was swirling like a massive whirlpool, mixing all the internal energies in it. It was like whisking all these internal energies that he had collected like whisking butter and dough in a bowl.

    This was not an easy feat for any ancient warrior.

    Ten pools of internal energy could be converted to one sea of internal energy. If one had not umted enough internal energy in his dantian, he might not be able to convert every one of them into seas of internal energy¡ªinstead they might all be dispersed into pools of internal energies again, resulting in his dantian not only not improving in power but also reversing in its potency.

    Qin Feng, however, did not have this problem. He had too much internal energy umted in his dantian right now. Hence, he could just convert them right away with no problem.

    Ssh!!!

    The pools of internal energies shed and mixed together violently before turning into a wide view of an ocean.

    In an instant, Qin Feng could feel that his power had risen up to another height!

    On the outside, he seemed to be the same B7-tier ancient warrior. However, on the inside, he was now someone who carried an obscene amount of internal energy for a B-tier.

    Gong Ge was so shocked to see Qin Feng¡¯s presence grow stronger and stronger. He was standing so close to Qin Feng that he could feel himself getting pulled in by Qin Feng every time he activated his Asteroid Assimtion.

    If Gong Ge was an ancient warrior, he would bepletely sucked dry.

    Even though he did not actually get harmed by this, Gong Ge was overwhelmed by fear¡ªthe fear of this young man.

    ¡®Could this Qin Feng be ascending his ancient warrior¡¯s powers? How could he be this strong?¡¯

    ¡®What? He¡¯s ascending again?!¡¯

    ¡®Phew... d that¡¯s over... whoah?! He¡¯s doing it again?!¡¯

    ¡®And again?! Just how many times is he going to do this?!¡¯

    Gong Ge¡¯s jaw was rolling on the ground. Qin Feng had assimted and digested his internal energy at least sixty times now! Not knowing just what was happening to Qin Feng, Gong Ge felt as though an invisible mountain was crashing on his shoulder as minutes went by.

    If it was possible, Gong Ge wanted to flee far away. Yet, he also noticed that Bai Li was already standing nearby. He and Qin Feng were now inside a sealed off dimension that Bai Li created!

    Qin Feng¡¯s overpowering presence was not detectable by others; Gong Ge, however, was able to feel every breath of it!

    After some undetermined amount of timeter, Qin Feng¡¯s raging presence finally started to settle down before his dark runes enveloped his body, concealing that terrifying, violent internal energy that was raging in his body. Now, Qin Feng looked just like any ordinary B7-tier ancient warrior.

    And now, only Gong Ge knew just how dangerous this young man was!

    700 pools of internal energies were nowpletely converted to 63 seas of internal energy.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy was now so powerful that it would give him a fighting chance against He Tianxing.

    ¡®Even though I used the gaea crystals to expand my dantian, I might only be able to contain about 100 seas of internal energy in it. Huh, pools and seas of internal energy are so different.¡¯

    Qin Feng beamed up a rxed smile after giving it some thought.

    Right now, he had achieved something that not many were able to do.

    Most A-tiers would need to spend an unspoken amount of resources to acquire just 1 sea of internal energy. However, Qin Feng had mastered the Asteroid Assimtion¡ªhe could rob others¡¯ internal energy with ease. As such, he did not have to go through that kind of difficulty to acquire the same amount of internal energy.

    Right now, Qin Feng had a hundred times more supply of internal energy than other A-tiers.

    Even though this was not like how he had thousand times more than the B-tiers and C-tiers back then, this was already more than enough. He should feel content.

 Chapter 864 - The Traceless Assassin

    <h4>Chapter 864: The Traceless Assassin</h4>

    Even though there was no concrete data to prove it, most people would assume that a twenty-year-old young man who had be a prodigy, reaching Emperor-tier when he was at D-tier, would eventually ascend to be an A-tier in the future.

    As for the ones who reached King-tier when at D-tier, they would easily reach B-tier.

    As for D-tiers who had about the same achievements would definitely reach C-tier.

    This was themon consensus in the public.

    Qin Feng was now harnessing not just a powerful physical body but also a potently dominant consciousness. Right now, he was stronger than the ability users who were in the same tier as him. His internal energy was about several dozen times more powerful than his fellow B-tiers!

    ¡°With this much internal energy, it should be enough for me to kill He Tianxing!¡± Qin Feng said to himself as he observed the overwhelming amount of internal energy in his dantian.

    Qin Feng was not sure just how much more powerful he had be; but right now, he was not nning on taking on He Tianxing head on¡ªhe wanted to assassinate the man. With the aid of Bai Li¡¯s spatial powers, it should be enough.

    Right now, if Qin Feng could find out where He Tianxing was staying, he could act right away.

    Of course, Qin Feng did not intend to let go of the great reaps of benefit staring at his face. Thus, he ordered the Fengli Organization to start working¡ªkilling the Gorefiends and grabbing the ultra beasts¡¯ corpses.

    And by the time the Gate of Fear¡¯s reinforcement came, Qin Feng and his men would have harvested everything they could and left. Well, these Dark Coalition¡¯s cowards would not dare to take them on to rob the loot too if given the chance.

    As for Ayshan, at this point of time, he did not have time toe to handle this B-tier boy. This B-tier was, after all, a really tough nut to crack.

    However, He Tianxing was already plotting a scheme to take Qin Feng down.

    ***

    In the middle of the night, at a tightly defended fortress under an evil-looking blood moon, ten shadows loomed over a throne.

    These shadows were top-ranked assassins!

    They had one reason to gather together here¡ªit was to assassinate Qin Feng!

    All of them were top-ranked assassins. So, naturally, every single one of them was prideful. They thought they could take any life with ease if they wanted to.

    To assassinate a person was not the same as fighting a person head on.

    ¡°This time the client is going to give us an S-tier treasure for killing this target. The client would bestow the treasure to whoever brings back his head. So, to avoid us killing each other to take out the target, perhaps we should take turns to kill him?¡± One of the assassins suggested.

    This man was quite a formidable assassin. Everyone in the room knew how to conceal their own presence, or at least make themselves seem as harmless as a civilian.

    Yet, this man knew just how strong he was¡ªhe was an A8-tier ancient warrior. He believed that no one was stronger than him.

    Despite that, he still tried to provide a peaceful way to resolve this situation. After all, the ¡°target¡± was not some weakling this time.

    As an assassin, any careless oversight would be fatal. As such, it was wiser to y it safe. This was a mindset that any assassin should have.

    ¡°Then, how are we going to decide who acts first? Do we have a quick friendly spar right here right now first to do that?¡± A cold voice replied.

    ¡°Or maybe we can decide this by throwing a dice?¡±

    ¡°Sure!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m okay with that.¡±

    ¡°Fine by me!¡±

    ¡°Agreed!¡±

    The ten men agreed with the method. In fact, all of them wished to act alone. Assassins rarely worked in a team. Indeed, when their target was drowning in waves of battle and chaos, it would make it much easier for them to take him down. However, right now it was backstabbing a fighter when he was taking on a dozen of opponents¡ªit waspeting to kill him first when there were nine other assassins trying to do the same! This would make this task tremendously more difficult than their previous missions!

    As such, it would be best if they could take turns to kill this man!

    ¡°Each person gets 10 minutes. If you can¡¯t kill him in less than 10 minutes, it would mean you¡¯ve failed and the next person gets his attempt. Whoever kills the target will get to leave with his head!¡±

    ¡°Sure!¡±

    Everyone nodded in agreement before activating theirmunicator.

    Then, they threw the digital dice in their device!

    ¡°89!¡±

    ¡°56!¡±

    ¡°19!¡±

    ¡°Sh*t! I threw a 2!¡± One of them cursed silently before switching off hismunicator. The others did not pay much attention to him¡ªeven if he said he got a 99, they would still need to take a look at his screen to check. Since he had thrown a 2, this would mean he was going to be thest to attempt.

    The A8-tier assassin was lucky enough to be the first one to attempt. Although he was not one to underestimate his target, he was confident enough that he could kill the target with no problem.

    He thought he had it in the bag!

    ¡°I¡¯ll be off then! See you guyster.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s a top-ranked assassin, man. He¡¯s the 5th on the ranking. Geez, that man is as good as dead now.¡±

    ¡°Who knows? Maybe the dude can stay alive for 5 minutes when facing him.¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I think the target¡¯s not gonna make it.¡±

    Everyone except the assassin who threw a ¡°2¡± earlier smirked. He muttered to himself, ¡°Hehe, so long Wu Hen. Don¡¯t worry, mate. These 8 other morons here will apany you to hell soon enough. Well, of course I¡¯m not going to attempt to kill this man. I¡¯m no idiot!¡±

    If Qin Feng were here, he would definitely recognize this man¡ªit was Guan Jinhao!

    Guan Jinhao was a top-ranked assassin. He had worn different kinds of masks, donned countless kinds of disguise and had several dozens of aliases as an assassin.

    This was why Guan Jinhao¡¯s alter-ego was able to be on the top of the assassin ranking.

    This was why Fire Phoenix sought him out for this mission.

    Guan Jinhao did not want toe at all. Thankfully, this mission had only 1 reward. As such, he could just feign interest and make sure the others went ahead and attempted on Qin Feng¡¯s life first. And if things went bad, he could always admit to his client that he could not do it and forfeit the mission.

    However, Guan Jinhao did not inform Qin Feng about this.

    He was an assassin. It was a courtesy to stick by the rules and not spoil the fun.

    As for these men... could they kill Qin Feng?

    Guan Jinhao smiled and shook his head.

    No way. There was no way anyone of them here could kill Qin Feng!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was meditating in a stone-made fortress, studying the Godwill As and training his consciousness.

    Then, his consciousness locked onto a humanoid silhouette.

    It was an assassin!

    ¡°Heh!¡± Qin Feng smirked coldly.

    There were not many people from the Fengli Organization in this fortress. Regardless, to protect his underlings, Qin Feng raised up ayer of dark runes to shield them.

    This ¡°shield¡± was formed by countless small dark-rune threads, enveloping the area by thousands of meters. It was night time; so, it would be quite difficult to detect these threads.

    Naturally, Wu Hen, being a top-ranked assassin, had already noticed these dark-rune threads.

    However, he did not seem to be aware of just how powerful Qin Feng was.

    And he had also underestimated just how far these threads covered the area.

    Being a cautious assassin, Wu Hen did not touch these threads at all; yet, there were other two assassins behind him who had already stepped on them!

    Qin Feng, of course, had also locked his consciousness onto them too.

    Right now, Wu Hen zoomed neared his target without activating his internal energy shield. He hadpletely concealed his presence.

    As soon as he reached the fortress, he quickly leaped to the air and snuck into it.

    He was now one with his own shadow. His body was as light as a paper, as nimble as a cat, as quick as the wind! There was no trace of movement left from every step he made!

    Wu Hen*, much like his moniker, was someone who left no trace in his actions!

    In seconds, his target was already in sight, merely a few steps away from him. The target was not protected by any internal energy shield too. His defenseless neck was so bare that it seemed like an invitation to slice it open.

    Calmly, Wu Hen swung out his weapon!

    Trantor note: ¡°Wu Hen¡± means ¡°traceless¡± in Chinese

 Chapter 865 - One Prey after Another

    <h4>Chapter 865: One Prey after Another</h4>

    The de met Qin Feng¡¯s neck and sliced through it with zero resistance.

    It came and went in a sh, leaving almost no trace behind. Wu Hen did not show himself during the ambush. His weapon was the only thing that was briefly revealed.

    His de resembled that of insect wings and was named rightly so¡ªan A-tier god weapon called Dragonfly¡¯s de.

    Yet, Wu Hen did not express joy after the sessful assault. Instead, he felt a knock in his heart.

    ¡®Sh*t!¡¯

    He was an experienced assassin. Though the Dragonfly¡¯s de was amazingly sharp, he could tell whether the knife had cut through its target or not.

    The cut felt eerily empty. Wu Hen closely nced at the meditating Qin Feng and it suddenly crumbled into earth runes.

    ¡®A mud clone?¡¯

    It was an earth ability.

    ¡®When did he cast it? Was he expecting the ambush and had the clone set up from the beginning?¡¯

    Wu Hen would never know the answer. Darkness swelled around him without warning and robbed his vision away.

    The abrupt change in less than 0.1 second would be enough to im his life.

    Wu Hen was aware of that and tightened his senses. He immediately felt an iing attack, probably that of a knife, and evaded it agilely. His A-tier qinggong skill made him almost uncatchable.

    Almost.

    After his internal force had been upgraded to A-tier, the area where Qin Feng could cover with his internal power was bizarrely huge. He quickly caught up to Wu Hen¡¯s movement.

    They confronted heatedly within the limited space. Dazzling skills erupted ceaselessly inside the small room.

    The fight was even after ten minutes had passed.

    Wu Hen grew restless. Qin Feng was tougher than he thought. He might be the one who gets killed if he lingered any longer. As such, Wu Hen decisively turned to the window and wanted to flee.

    He was surprised to hear the soft voice of ady.

    ¡°This is not a ce where you cane and go as you please.¡±

    Wu Hen tried to jump out the window but it did not feel right. Though it waste outside, the darkness he peered into was definitely not the shade of a night sky.

    ¡®This is... Spatial Seal!¡¯

    ¡°It seems that you did note alone. I shouldn¡¯t waste too much time on you!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion.¡±

    The irresistible pulling force disrupted Wu Hen¡¯s perfect motion.

    An assassin rarely built up internal energy shields.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber struck as soon as Wu Hen stopped moving.

    Poof!

    Wu Hen¡¯s head dropped to the ground.

    This marked the fall of an elite assassin.

    The Asteroid Assimtion was still running. Wu Hen¡¯s internal force was gathered by Qin Feng before it dissipated into the atmosphere.

    In the blink of an eye, eight seas of internal force materialized in Qin Feng¡¯s dantian.

    ¡°This guy is actually an A8-tier ancient warrior.¡±

    The A8 assassin might still be a threat if Qin Feng had not broken through. But since his internal force had reached the next level, A-tier ancient warriors with lesser internal force than him were no longer a danger. He could now easily overpower them using his Asteroid Assimtion.

    Before he could digest the internal forcepletely, another figure appeared in front of him.

    Here came the second assassin. However, he did not enter the sealed dimension voluntarily but was instead brought in forcefully by Bai Li.

    The assassin was clearly in shock. He could hardly conceal his own aura. A moment ago, he was still surveying where Qin Feng might be, and the next instant he was brought straight to face his target. It hadpletely caught him off guard.

    Not only that but there was a fresh corpse on the ground. He immediately recognized the beheaded Wu Hen.

    Qin Feng gave him no chance to collect himself and brandished the Verdant Emperor Saber mercilessly.

    Poof!

    Another clean swoop.

    Now, Qin Feng had grasped what their strategy was.

    One assassin after another, they were trying to wear him down sessively.

    ¡®So, this is how you guys wanna y this out? Cool. I will be here waiting for you, one by one.¡¯

    Qin Feng sneered and once again ced his palm on histest victim.

    The internal force in his dantian increased by another three seas.

    Qin Feng took his time andpressed the still vtile internal strength.

    He waited patiently for the next assassin that came knocking.

    In a small in outside the earth fortress of the Fengli Organization, another assassin rolled out after the previous one had been gone for some time.

    Ten minutes...

    Twenty minutes...

    Thirty...

    Seven roundster, only three remained.

    ¡°I have not heard anymotion in there.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. There¡¯s even hardly any sign of fighting. Perhaps Wu Hen seeded? So, the others just left after they went in?¡±

    ¡°Probably.¡±

    ¡°If Wu Hen failed, I still pity the target. One elite assassin every ten minutes, and he needs to fight seven of them straight with little intervals in between. Hehe...¡± The man gloated as he imagined the frustrated yet helpless look on Qin Feng¡¯s face.

    It was certainly rare to have so many elite assassins against a single target.

    ¡°Hehe...¡± Guan Jinhau chuckled listening to their ignorance. Naively, the other two thought he wasughing at Qin Feng.

    The less fuss there was, the more cautious they should be.

    Guan Jinhau felt that this was oddly familiar. Simrly, he was once trapped inside the sealed room and could not leave. Outsiders had no idea how the fight was going in there.

    Time passed by quickly. Another ten minutes was gone.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go together. I think the target has long been exterminated. I don¡¯t want to waste another ten minutes.¡±

    ¡°Sure. Grey-haired Guan, you want toe along?¡± The other man asked Guan Jinhau. Grey-haired was the code name used by thetter in this mission.

    ¡°I am a man of integrity. I will wait as promised.¡±

    The other two were scornful of him but did not say anything else. They entered the Fengli territory quietly.

    A minuteter, Guan Jinhau came out from hiding and left without much hesitation.

    ¡®Only morons would go in now.¡¯

    Guan Jinhau decided to abort the mission.

    Inside the fortress, another two corpses were added to the pile. Qin Feng was seen meditating calmly beside the casualties. His internal power had reached 80 seas.

    ¡°Thest one has escaped.¡±

    Bai Li came out from nothingness and informed Qin Feng.

    ¡°Oh?! A wise choice.¡±

    ¡°He was the one who sold you Phantom Shift.¡±

    Qin Feng did not expand his consciousness to avoid startling the enemy. But Bai Li had seen Guan Jinhau while hiding inside another dimension. Though the assassin had disguised using a different face and body shape, Bai Li had no trouble figuring out his true identity.

    Qin Feng was first stunned when he heard the name, thenughed bitterly, ¡°That¡¯s more cunning than wise.¡± He had no intention to chase after him.

    He had gained enough today. Guan Jinhau could live and deliver the news to the man who wanted his life. Qin Feng hoped the person would send more internal power sources his way.

    The more, the merrier. This way, Qin Feng could amass enough internal force to fill his dantian in no time.

 Chapter 866 - The Prodigies of Feng Li

    <h4>Chapter 866: The Prodigies of Feng Li</h4>

    The days following that were rtively monotonous. The battle against the beasts continued as new rifts kept emerging every other day. Besides that, other corporations were also still wrestling with Fengli for resources.

    Nheless, it was still a dull routine for Qin Feng due to theck of a worthy opponent.

    To him, only the S-tiers could be considered a woeful threat now.

    He Tianxing had not pursued him after what happened in the Blood River Realm. The Gate of Fear did mount all kinds of assault but Qin Feng trampled over them effortlessly. For some reason, Ayshan did not attack personally.

    Qin Feng did not know when Ayshan might lose his mind ande for revenge, but he was certain that He Tianxing would curb his wrath for now.

    Out of the ten assassins he had hired to kill Qin Feng, only one had survived because he himself fled. This inevitably unnerved He Tianxing.

    It was not that he had given up on killing Qin Feng, but that he had run out of viable means.

    He Tianxing had failed twice himself. If he were to strike again, Long Yue would not sit by and watch. Without much of a choice, he could only swallow his pride for now.

    ¡®I shall have my revenge after I cure my persistent wound.¡¯

    Since Hu San could recover from it, He Tianxing believed he could too. The most pressing matter at hand was to find the blood concentrated crystal. He would deal with other stuffter.

    As such, one month passed peacefully in a sh. Qin Feng¡¯s Fengli Organization had secured a firm footing inside the Blood River Realm within that time. Peculiarly, though they were the only corporation with the highest proportion of C-tier aptitude users, nobody dared to touch them.

    This was how the prestige of an elect was established.

    The elects might not need to do much. Their names itself was a deterring factor.

    In the blink of an eye, December once again arrived quietly.

    Qin Feng had failed to locate He Tianxing¡¯s whereabouts. Though he wished to continue searching for the opportunity to assassinate him, he had to put it to a halt.

    The Prodigy Tournament was just around the corner.

    ¡°I would need to go to Dragon Capital. Guard the Blood River Realm for me. I will return within half a month.¡±

    After all, the Perished Land would only open for half a month.

    The humans in Qin Feng¡¯s dimension were considered feeble on average. Technology was the quickest way to develop powerful soldiers and strengthen Fengli¡¯s position.

    Breathing the fresh air outside of Blood River Realm lightened Qin Feng¡¯s mood.

    He checked the messages in hismunicator, then contacted Shang Han.

    Shang Han¡¯s face immediately came onto themunicator¡¯s screen.

    ¡°Regent, regarding the Prodigy Tournament, should I go alone or go along with my team?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°You n to attend?¡± Shang Han asked in bafflement.

    ¡°Of course!¡± Qin Feng replied.

    Shang Han had underestimated Qin Feng¡¯s persistence over the Prodigy Tournament. Then, she thought about the hidden techs and immediately understood.

    The Fengli Organization relied heavily on technology for its business development. As such, it was only natural for Qin Feng to be allured by the undiscovered technology found in the Perished Land.

    ¡°It didn¡¯t cross my mind that you would leave your Blood River empire behind ande to Dragon Capital.¡±

    ¡°Bai Li would keep watch for me in Blood River Realm.¡±

    ¡°Ah! I actually forgot Bai Li is skilled enough to hold down a fort now.¡± Though Bai Li was certainly a creature that no one would easily forget, her overpowering consciousness would subconsciously influence others to ignore her presence. That was why it slipped Shang Han¡¯s mind for a moment there.

    ¡°In that case, juste along with your team as the mentor. Save me the trouble of sending someone over to escort them,¡± Shang Han answered Qin Feng¡¯s earlier question.

    ¡°Me? Mentor?¡± Qin Feng asked puzzlingly.

    Prodigies were important assets. As such, they were normally escorted by an A-tier aptitude user.

    Shang Han smirked. ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard? The North Sea has taken up seventy entries in this year¡¯s tournament. I will not be going this year. I will send you the pass and assign you as the team mentor sh leader.¡±

    Shang Han would not easily dispatch any mission to Qin Feng now. Especially after learning that Qin Feng had secured a strategic position in Blood River Realm, she would not force the task into Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    The Blood River Realm would always be the priority.

    Nevertheless, since Bai Li would be guarding the realm and Qin Feng was going to Dragon Capital anyway, Shang Han conveniently passed on the escorting task to him.

    More importantly, the best interest during every Prodigy Tournament was the reward that would be given to the qualified prodigies. However, since seven out of every ten participants were from the North Sea, with most of them under the Fengli Organization, what was there to buy?

    Everything would eventually be collected by the Fengli Organization.

    Hence, Shang Han decided to save her time and breath this round.

    Qin Feng knew it too. Thus, he epted the task with noints. He could not think of any excuse to shirk from the responsibility.

    After rifying the details, Qin Feng used a spatial stone and headed to Beihua immediately.

    The aircraft from Fengli that had delivered the participants to the qualifiers was currently parked at Beihua. Unlikest year, Qin Feng did not ask for a spatial tunnel this time. Instead, he informed the participants to board the aircraft.

    He waited for two hours until all the prodigies had rendezvoused.

    Qin Feng immediately recognized them.

    The strongest among them was no doubt Zhou Hao.

    Zhou Hao was now a C1-tier ancient warrior. The C1-tier badge on his chest proved that he had passed the certification mission.

    Unfortunately for Jin Fei, who was one of the top prodigiesst year, had passed the age limit to take part in the tournament despite being a C-tier now.

    Other than that, Qin Feng was shocked to find Lu Meng among the participants. She was only at D2-tier but every essory on her, from the equipped weapon to her teeth, was thetest technology developed by Fengli. This made her one of the top prodigies.

    Fengli City had undergone drastic advancement this past year too. The Glittering Gold Sand had propelled the talent and strength of those living there.

    Five other prodigies that caught Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were descendants of Fengli¡¯s high-ranked officers.

    They represented the future of Fengli City. This generation had exhibited immense talent at a young age. That coupled with the ample resources and dragon blood supplied internally through the Battlegod Tomb built them a solid foundation. They might not necessarily reach the emperor-tier but would definitely be king-tier one day.

    Laudably, they did not show the slightest arrogance despite their status quo.

    Then again, how could they be when the true prodigy of Fengli was standing right in front of them?

    ¡°President!¡±

    ¡°President!¡±

    ¡°Good to see you!¡±

    They greeted Qin Feng admirably.

    Qin Feng nodded back, then talked to Zhou Hao. ¡°Now that you are a C-tier, no one would stop you this time. Remember to bring back as many rewards as you can. Don¡¯t forget to carry a few more spatial equipment with you,¡± Qin Feng reminded him.

    With Zhou Hao around, Qin Feng no longer needed to spend time collecting the less significant technological pieces. He could concentrate more on exploring the Perished Land and look for things he had missed outst round. The best would be if he could find a way to manufacture sacred armor.

    Though the sacred armor was very durable, his armor was long broken. Besides, the more powerful Qin Feng got, the less useful the sacred armor became to him. However, Qin Feng thought that he had not tapped into its full potential.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. I have great help too.¡± Zhou Hao looked at hisrades and said confidently.

    This was when the other three prodigies showed up.

 Chapter 867 - They are All From Feng Li

    <h4>Chapter 867: They are All From Feng Li</h4>

    One of the three was someone that Qin Feng knew well.

    The young master of Hanchuan State, Han Jun.

    Han Jun had picked the right birth date. He was still two months short before reaching twenty years old. This would be hisst opportunity to join the Prodigy Tournament.

    After being beaten up by Qin Fengst year, he did not manage to pass the final challenge despite recovering in time. He attempted again this year but his overall strength had not improved much. He was still just a D5-tier.

    But that was sufficient to rival the prodigies from Dragon Capital. However, they did not expect they would face another strongpetitor in Fengli. The organization seemed to have focused a lot of their capitals in nurturing prodigies.

    In fact, Fengli was simply overloaded with wealth and resources.

    The benefits given by the organization were a lot better than other organizations or even local governments. The richness of supply meant that individuals¡¯ talents could be fulfilled with less hindrance.

    The two followers apanying Han Jun were rather ordinary. They survived the qualifier perhaps by luck, or perhaps due to a favorable matchup. All in all, they were fortunate enough to avoid being kicked out by Fengli¡¯s abundant participants.

    ¡°I will be the one leading the North Sea Prodigy Team this time. My current position is the Northern Region General of the Human Alliance. You can just call me General Qin.¡±

    The two new guys looked at each other in confusion. They had just heard him being called president. ¡®Why is he a general now? Who is this guy?¡¯

    Qin Feng continued, ¡°I will be in charge of your escort during this tournament, as well as brief you through the details regarding Dragon Capital. Let¡¯s board the aircraft first. If you have any guardian that wishes to follow, they are weed too.¡±

    The two guys were dark horses that did not expect to qualify, so they did not have anyone apanying them. Han Jun signaled and called for his hidden protector to follow them into the aircraft.

    The aircraft departed and jumped straight through the dimension. A momentter, it appeared above the Dragon Capital¡¯s spatial waymark.

    Thanks to Fengli¡¯s rapid development of spatial and avian technology, more and more users now owned their personal aircrafts. Thus, the guards at the waymark were not too surprised when the aircraft emerged out of the blue. However, aircrafts were not allowed to enter the capital center.

    Qin Feng had the aircraft parked right outside the capital. They still needed the vehicle to transport the prodigies back after the tournament.

    The transit from the entrance right up to hotel check-in was well arranged.

    But Qin Feng hardly had time to rest. As soon as he set foot into Dragon Capital, invitations from the family elders in Dragon Capital hade bombarding.

    Numerous elects wanted to book Qin Feng for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even supper.

    ¡°President Qin, Fengli has another C-tier representative this year. I guess you will be the ultimate winner again this time.¡±

    ¡°President Qin. Congrattions in advance! Are you still interested in my proposal for coboration?¡±

    ¡°President Qin! We had a great coborationst time. Should we discuss the details of what to do next?¡±

    In the past, Qin Feng was forced to set up treaty contracts with these family elders to protect Fengli. He had no choice but to share part of Fengli¡¯s revenue with them. Now, these elders would naturally wish to continue reaping benefits from him, seeing that Fengli had grown into a conglomerate.

    Qin Feng remained reserved to their requests. He, of course, had no intention to share profits with them for free.

    It was different now. Qin Feng had be strong enough to fear nothing.

    Hence, these people could no longer bully him into obedience.

    Behind him, prodigies from other families were concerned about yet another C-tier that had emerged from Fengli and exchangedments feverishly.

    ¡°What happened in the North these past years? Another C-tier? After Qin Feng, now Zhou Hao? This is absurd!¡±

    ¡°Wait a minute, Qin Feng still qualifies as a prodigy as well!¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t think he should participate this time. Isn¡¯t he a B-tier now? That¡¯s unfair!¡±

    ¡°ording to my dad, Qin Feng is probably invincible among the A-tiers too.¡±

    ¡°Luckily he is notpeting. Otherwise, we would not stand a chance!¡±

    They had no idea. Indeed, Qin Feng would not be climbing the Tower of Dragon Gate with them. But he would be waiting for them at the peak.

    ***

    The preparation period passed quickly. It soon came the day for the opening of the tower.

    At the top of the tower, Qin Feng was chatting leisurely with the tower guard. Last year this time, the guard was still a senior to Qin Feng. He had praised Qin Feng then and wished to convince Qin Feng to sell him the tech he brought back.

    Now, they talked as equals. They were discussing who among these prodigies would be the first to conquer the tower, while who had the greatest potential in the future.

    In a year, Qin Feng had reached the tower guard¡¯s level.

    ¡°C-tier Zhou Hao. He is from Fengli, right? Seems promising!¡± The guard said.

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°He is like a brother of mine!¡±

    The guard nodded, then changed to another prospect. ¡°This girl is interesting too. She has mastered the machines brilliantly. What are those guns she is carrying? It¡¯s pretty powerful!¡±

    Qin Feng agreed. ¡°Lu Meng has improved a lot.¡±

    ¡°You know her?¡±

    ¡°Ya. She is Zhou Hao¡¯s future wife.¡±

    The guard was astonished. He continued to observe the climbers.

    ¡°This guy is pretty good too. Wait, he is from the North as well?¡±

    ¡°Oh, that one. He is from Fengli too.¡±

    ¡°This ability user is good.¡±

    ¡°He is the son of my officer. His improvement ismendable.¡±

    ¡°How about that one?¡±

    ¡°Fengli...¡±

    The guard was silenced. Why did everyone that he pointed out came from Fengli? How many prodigies had Fengli actually produced?

    Qin Feng was no doubt showing off. He was a prodigy himself and his organization had just been set up two years ago. Nevertheless, they had spent a lot in developing next-generation talents.

    The outsiders might not understand but the insiders of Fengli knew how filthy rich Qin Feng was. Even if the number of prodigies doubled up, Qin Feng would still have no problem sustaining them.

    Soon, the first aptitude user that reached the tenth level had appeared.

    Without any surprise, it was Zhou Hao.

    ¡°Ah? Why are you here, lunatic!?¡± Zhou Hao looked at Qin Feng in shock. ¡°Is this the end? I thought we are going to another dimension?¡±

    Qin Feng red at him. ¡°I have special treatment. I will be entering the dimension too. But climbing the tower? No thanks.¡±

    Zhou Hao was speechless. ¡°You will go into Dragon Gate? Please don¡¯t. You are just crushing others¡¯ confidence. But since you did not join the tournament, I guess I have clinched the first ce in this tournament then.¡±

    The guard coughed as he heard that. He announced, ¡°Congrattions, Zhou Hao from the Northern Region. You are the champion of this year¡¯s Prodigy Tournament.¡±

    ¡°Thanks! But this no. 1 is rather undeserving.¡± Zhou Hao admitted big-heartedly.

    He would not have beaten Qin Feng if thetter participated.

    After that, a few more participants seeded in the Dragon Gate challenge. Aspared tost year, they were a lot more who passed this year¡ªa total of thirteen prodigies.

    Those Qin Feng metst year were not seen this time.

    This was entirely normal. Being a prodigy did not automatically mean that one could pass the Tower of Dragon Gate test. The ones that could ovee it must possess the strength of a king tier.

    These were the ones who would be A-tier or even S-tier in the future. The disparity of power also existed even among the most elite group of teenage aptitude users.

 Chapter 868 - Bias

    <h4>Chapter 868: Bias</h4>

    ¡°These youngsters are elects in the making.¡±

    Qin Feng measured their young faces. For some, their glorious achievements in the future jumped into his mind. But now they were only young pups tasting the real world for the first time.

    Despite that, Qin Feng had no intention to recruit them. Fengli had not beencking prodigies. He also did not need more subordinates at the moment.

    In contrast, two prodigies from the other regions were enthused when they saw Qin Feng.

    They were guessing whether Qin Feng was here to handpick an apprentice.

    But the idea only remained in their minds briefly.

    Qin Feng was still too young to look for a sessor. Besides, among those here, five of them came from Fengli.

    They were greatbatants. Two of them were even gunners. It was often rare for gunners to reach this stage. Their high-end weapons must be supplied by the corporation.

    They wondered whether they would have a simr privilege if they joined now.

    Probably not, left alone bing the beloved apprentice of Qin Feng like how they had imagined it.

    After another hour, no one else had set foot into the tenth level.

    The tower guard checked the tower for onest time and confirmed the finalists.

    Aspared tost year, this year¡¯spetition was far more fruitful. The number of qualified finalists was two times the numberst year.

    ¡°Perhaps your family member or someone you know has told you about the condition inside the dimension. But I will remind you again. Especially those who don¡¯t know anything about the Perished Land, listen closely.¡±

    Some of them already knew what the guard was going to say next. The prodigies from the Fengli Organization even possessed the map drawn by Qin Feng in their hand.

    Of course, some had never heard about it. This included the two prodigies that camest. They were all ears.

    ¡°Later, a dimension would be opened up. Remember, safety is the utmost priority. Here are three spatial waymarks that would allow you to return to Dragon Capital instantly.¡± The guard emphasized again. ¡°Remember, your life is above everything. The Huaxia Alliance would need your service in the future.¡±

    The prodigies were inspired listening to the guard¡¯s earnest lecture.

    As usual, the guard tower distributed the spatial waymarks. When it was Qin Feng¡¯s turn, he waved at him.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need it. I still have it fromst year.¡±

    The others were baffled and turned to Qin Feng.

    One of the prodigies from Dragon Capital could not help but ask, ¡°General Qin, are you going to join us in the rift?¡±

    The man naturally knew who Qin Feng was. He was a youngster so he closely followed the development of other youngsters too. After Qin Feng gained first ce inst year¡¯s tournament, many parents to the prodigies in Dragon Capital had frequentlymented that this guy would dominate thepetition for years toe.

    Unexpectedly, they did not see Qin Feng throughout the tournament this year. It was his ssmate that had joined instead.

    The guard exined beamingly, ¡°Qin Feng is qualified to enter the Perished Land. Since he is now B-tier, he is not required to go through the Tower of Dragon Gate. He is thus allowed to standby here as a prodigy while you all underwent the challenge.¡±

    They had no words for it. Qin Feng was shortlisted as a seeded yer from the beginning.

    ¡°Alright, time is almost up. Get ready.¡±

    When the guard said it was time, he was never wrong. He had been stationed here for years. He would not misjudge the time by a millisecond.

    Precisely as he had anticipated, the sky above them began to pour down silver glimmers. A familiar rift soon opened up.

    This was the second time Qin Feng witnessed this marvelous phenomenon, thus he was less amazed by it. Still, the vast energy gushing out from the rift was equally refreshing asst time, even though Qin Feng had strengthened considerably now.

    The guard who had been here every year in the past decade was also enjoying the shower of energy.

    Boom!

    Aspared to the past, Qin Feng was now more sensitive to the current of the energy. He vividly sensed the energy dashed into the center of the Dragon Capital and could not escape due to the unique topography of the city. It lingered around the capital and energized the atmosphere within.

    ¡®This energy isrge enough to spread through the entire capital. Even A-tiers could benefit from it. I guess it¡¯s fine for me to try to absorb it?¡¯

    Qin Feng was now B7-tier aspared to C2-tierst year. He reckoned he would not suck in all the energy inside the Dragon Capital.

    He did not hesitate for long and activated his ability.

    Absorb!

    Instantly, the energy that lingered idly around the capital seemed to be pulled in by arge whirlpool with Qin Feng as its center.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was like a gluttonous beast. He absorbed the energy greedily and his power bolstered gradually.

    His ability had improved significantly as Qin Feng grew. The extent of energy that his Absorption Ability could consume now was unimaginable.

    This was no different from plundering.

    ¡°Eh?¡± The guard tower vaguely saw the energy go into Qin Feng¡¯s body like a giant dragon. He did not know this was Qin Feng¡¯s ability and figured the energy perhaps favored the more talented prodigy. That was why it all went Qin Feng¡¯s way.

    What a huge bias!

    Prodigies usually benefited greatly from the opening and often evolved immediately. But this year, they could only gain one-tenth of the usual amount.

    In contrast, Qin Feng had umted a substantial amount of experience during the battle in the Blood River Realm. The influx of energypletely unleashed his potential.

    B8-tier!

    Both his ancient warrior strength and consciousness were upgraded.

    Boom!

    His powerful aura pushed the prodigies around him away. They lost control of themselves and rolled away like barrels.

    It was simply too intimidating.

    The guard tower was rendered speechless.

    At the same time, the rift slowly shifted into a round shape. The tunnel linking the Perished Land had been established.

    ¡°Get up now and get in!¡± The guard urged.

    The prodigies were anxious to do so, too. They simply could not. Qin Feng¡¯s aura was too powerful and they could hardly raise their fingers under such pressure.

    Luckily, Qin Feng quickly came to his senses and retracted his aura. He flung his internal power and carried the thirteen prodigies together into the spatial tunnel.

    Then, the turbulence struck them, trying to separate the group.

    ¡°Grab each other!¡± One of the prodigies spoke silently and grabbed the prodigies nearest to him.

    Aspared to them, Qin Feng was not troubled by the turbulence.

    Last year, he could already swim freely inside the whirlpool. Now, he could even counter the turbulence with his internal force alone.

    However, he had little interest in babysitting the entire group of prodigies. He gathered the eight prodigies with onest push and dispersed his protection on them.

    Without Qin Feng¡¯s protection, they immediately felt the real drag of the turbulence. Three of the eight did not react in time and were split from the group in terror.

    Five of them caught each other in time and held on tight in a group.

    Qin Fen kept five prodigies close to him¡ªZhou Hao, Lu Meng, and the three prodigies from Fengli.

    The whirlpool pulled them deep into the end of the spatial tunnel.

    When they could finally open their eyes, the surrounding was an entric ce they had never seen before.

 Chapter 869 - Intruder Spotted

    <h4>Chapter 869: Intruder Spotted</h4>

    ¡°It¡¯s so heavy.¡±

    ¡°The gravity in here is different from earth.¡±

    ¡°We can¡¯t release our consciousness as well.¡±

    The few prodigies quickly adapted to the new world. All the information about this ce was already given to them by Qin Feng. That was why they did not panic despite the bizarre unfamiliarity.

    Qin Feng also took a while to adjust to the Perished Land. It felt rather different thanst time now that his power level was different.

    A normal B8-tier ability user could detect an area of about 8000 meters.

    Apparently, Qin Feng was no ordinary ability user. With the help of Godwill As, Qin Feng managed to expand his consciousness up to seven times the maximum scouting area of other users.

    In other words, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness could probe as far as fifty thousand meters at max. Even when he was not overstretching his senses, every movement inside a thousand meters could still be within his grasp.

    Previously, like other prodigies, his consciousness was perturbed by the dimension and it robbed his ability to mentally inspect the world.

    He could no longer be stopped this time. Perhaps his conscious level had outgrown the imprisonment cast by this dimension. The Perished Land could no longer contain Qin Feng¡¯s vibrant conscious power.

    Qin Feng was pleased to find that he could survey arge area.

    ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s first set up the signal tower and see whether ourmunicators are functional here. Then, we will decide whether we should split up,¡± Zhou Hao suggested.

    The others nodded and took out a small transmission device that looked like a miniature tower.

    Based on Qin Feng¡¯s experience, themunicator was rendered functionless down here. But after a year of research, engineers from Fengli had sessfully retooled one of the devices Qin Feng had brought out from this dimension.

    They figured the device could be tweaked to match theirmunicators¡¯ frequency. In theory, it should work inside the Perished Land.

    ¡°It¡¯s up and running.¡±

    ¡°Is there a signal?¡±

    ¡°I have sent out a message. Did you all receive it?¡±

    ¡°Got it! It really works!¡±

    They felt more secure with themunicator working perfectly.

    More importantly, they came in with Qin Feng. Even though Qin Feng might not fight alongside them, he for sure woulde to their rescue when their lives were on the line.

    Qin Feng understood the thoughts of his prodigies and doubled down on it.

    ¡°I will go my way. In case you bump into things beyond your capability, contact me immediately.¡±

    ¡°Yes, President.¡±

    ¡°Understood.¡±

    ¡°Go now. I will be looking after them. Don¡¯t worry,¡± Zhou Hao said.

    Zhou Hao indeed had enough in the tank to secure everyone¡¯s safety. Besides, he still had the Golden Queen Ant as his backup. The contract beast had advanced into C-tier beast emperor recently. Zhou Hao was no longer the same fragile teenager that needed protection as before.

    ¡°Alright!¡± Qin Feng nodded and walked in the opposite direction.

    He went in the opposite way of the ruins, where the teenage prodigies would be headed.

    Without a doubt, there were a lot of treasures hidden inside the ruins. But Qin Feng had little interest in exploring the same ce again. Other than the sacred armor, he did not find anything that enthused him greatly there.

    He pondered what could be found at the perimeter.

    If this ce was a fragmented dimension, Qin Feng wished to see where the border was. If this was a or a massive continent, then perhaps Qin Feng could reach another city.

    That was the reason Qin Feng had chosen a different path.

    Besides, he only had fifteen days. There was too little time to explore an entire dimension. He had to move fast.

    Ground Bending!

    The earth ability could manipte thend underneath one¡¯s feet. Qin Feng bent the ground and warped the distance between two ces into the shortest path. In other words, he could leap to any ce his consciousness could reach with only a step.

    The ability was only best used during travel. This was not a viable skill to be used during a battle.

    Ground Bending was a low-tier ability among all earth abilities because it could be easily disrupted by internal force or more powerful runes. If one were intercepted when performing bending, he or she could lose a step and together with it his or her life.

    But it was a convenient ability for Qin Feng. Since his consciousness could travel as far as fifty thousand meters, Ground Bending was a very useful ability to move between very far distances.

    Along the way, all Qin Feng saw was a never-ending destion with no vegetation or any sign of life.

    At his speed, he could travel from the snowy mountain in the Northern Region all the way to the Dark Citadel at South Sea in two hours.

    Qin Feng strode tirelessly and walked for six hours non-stop.

    Thendscape did not change much in that span of time. Qin Feng did note to many mountains or rivers. He saw a destend everywhere he went.

    ¡®What an odd ce.¡¯ Qin Feng frowned disgruntledly.

    Then, another deserted city finally came into sight.

    Qin Feng was jubnt. ¡®My hunch is right!¡¯ He sped up.

    As he was approaching the edge of the city, Qin Feng saw several peculiar creatures fighting with a phantom.

    Qin Feng was stunned after seeing the familiar scene.

    He realized something and looked at hismunicator. As expected, the blinking signals on hismunicator showed that the signal towers were only thirty meters away. The five blinking lights confirmed that it was where he and his prodigies hadnded earlier.

    Qin Feng used only six hours to circle around the entire Perished Land.

    Heughed bitterly. ¡®This dimension is smaller than I thought.¡¯

    This was simply a tinypletely deprived of lives and resources.

    ¡®This can¡¯t be right.¡¯ Qin Feng refused to believe it. He could not shake off the weird feeling lingering in his senses.

    ¡®Maybe it¡¯s hidden underground?¡¯ A thought lighted up in Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    ¡°Earth Evasion.¡±

    Qin Feng wrapped himself in earth runes and sank into the ground.

    Ten, twenty, thirty meters...

    A hundred, two hundred, three hundred meterster...

    Qin Feng still wished to dive deeper. But his earth ability came to a sudden halt. He had reached a level where he could no longer manipte earth runes. That was because he was stepping on metals now.

    He could tell he hade to the right ce.

    ¡°Magma skill!¡±

    Magma sttered under his feet and quickly melted the metals away. The metalyer was thicker than he thought. Qin Feng¡¯s magma finally poked a hole through it after melting away fifty-meters thick of metals.

    The next moment, fresh air and heavier gravity hit Qin Feng at the same time.

    Not only that but Qin Feng also heard the sound of clockwork tinkering and sensed a constant fluctuation of conscious power.

    He raised his head reflexively.

    What he saw were the silhouettes of numerous giant phantoms measured at about thirty-meter-tall. They were all wearing Lesser Sacred Armor.

    The conscious frequency was still transmitting consistently like rippling waves.

 Chapter 870 - The Underground World

    <h4>Chapter 870: The Underground World</h4>

    It seemed that every robot here was wearing Lesser Sacred Armor.

    Following Qin Feng¡¯s appearance, all the robots raised their arms and locked onto him.

    Whooo...

    The center of their hands formed a ball of energy and suddenly the ball of energy extended into a beam of light. At that moment, a hundred beams of light rushed toward Qin Feng.

    There was no way to dodge it!

    Where the robots were standing was actually blocking all directions, front and back and no matter which angle Qin Feng went he would not be able to avoid these beams.

    He activated his internal force and did bother trying to dodge, immediately dropping down.

    Boom boom boom!

    Qin Feng took more than a dozen beams in one barrage, the others missed due to his sudden action.

    He spent one tenth of his internal force, its density weakening.

    He was not a person with a sea¡¯s worth of internal force. His protective aura was more durable than what he had before but it was not clear how thick it was whenpared to the time when he only had pools of internal force. Even just that attack could take away so much of it, if a hundred of these robots all fired at him at once, that would have broken through his internal force!

    ¡°Amazing!¡±

    Qin Feng previously only had the gloves of the Lesser Sacred Armor and gave it to Bai Li, but the gloves were damaged in the end.

    There were so many Lesser Sacred Armors in front of him, the blow from one wasparable to the full force attack of a C-tier beast king.

    This was a full-force attack, not a normal one.

    More than a dozen attacks stacking on top of each other would be powerful, not to mention a hundred of them.

    He could not let them keep on attacking.

    Qin Feng pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber from his rune equipment

    A fast battle meant faster thinking.

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was unsheathed from its scabbard, what followed was a constant humming sound, the shuddering of the spirits.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    He blitzed forward and appeared in front of a Lesser Sacred Armored Robot in the blink of an eye.

    This robot was very big, and the armor it wore was very flexible, however it could not cover all of its body.

    As the Verdant Emperor Saber was infused with internal force, it instantly pierced into a gap in the armor and connected with where the neck met its head.

    Crack!

    The robot¡¯s neck was broken and not only that, the Lesser Sacred Armor on its body flickered and dimmed.

    He could clearly feel a burst of energy being absorbed by the Verdant Emperor Saber, causing the robot inside the armor to copse.

    ¡°A soul!¡±

    The Perished Lands housed all kinds of machinery which had souls hidden in them, meaning that these robots had souls inside them as well.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber could absorb these souls.

    This also meant that was why the Lesser Sacred Armor, while being known as extremely powerful, was unable to withstand the attack and was instantly destroyed.

    He instantly understood the truth hidden in this ce, but meanwhile the robots were not distracted by his phantom mirages at all and immediately locked onto him as they primed the Lesser Sacred Armor¡¯s artillery again.

    Whooo...

    The energy cannons fired again!

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend, Reaping-Hundred!¡±

    Qin Feng swung the Verdant Emperor Saber, his body starting to turn as the phantom formed into a circle around him, ready to rush out.

    ¡°Hoo....¡±

    The phantoms wailed and a tidal wave of spectres rushed out toward the robots.

    He stayed his hand and released enough internal force to slightly break through the robots¡¯ Lesser Sacred Armor¡¯s defenses without damaging them, but the souls within the machines would get attacked by the phantoms.

    If he was dealing with ultra beasts or even ordinary humans, the effects would not actually have been effective.

    However, without the protection of the physical body, the Spirit Chain Rend was the ultimate counter for other souls.

    Bzzzzt!

    The bright energy on the robots turned dark before they all froze in ce.

    All the robots had been disabled.

    However, at this moment, a powerful burst of energy was released from the first robot which Qin Feng had decapitated.

    This was the energy of the Lesser Sacred Armor.

    This armor was able to store energy and once the owner had been taken out, it would release its stored energy and wait until a new master arrived before reabsorbing it.

    Now that these robots had lost to souls powering them, the energy of the Lesser Sacred Armors naturally burst out.

    This squall of power strengthened Qin Feng¡¯s physical form. With his current strength, he was able to absorb this energy without feeling like he was going to explode.

    Only this time, the sound of countless mechanical feet could be heard.

    On the streets outside, robots began to appear one after another.

    ¡°Intruder spotted. Target to be eliminated!¡±

    ¡°Intruder spotted. Target to be eliminated!¡±

    ¡°Intruder spotted. Target to be eliminated!¡±

    The robots appeared in groups, preparing to attack Qin Feng.

    This time, he took the preemptive action to quickly get away.

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    Internal force pushing the phantoms forward, sweeping over more than twenty robots and instantly disabling them.

    As he moved, more and more robots appeared to attack him.

    The more he killed, the more they appeared.

    When it was one hundred robots, he did not care about energy that was bursting out of the Lesser Sacred Armor.

    Now that there were two hundred robots, he had to use the Absorption Ability to speed up his energy absorption.

    However, in one breath he managed to kill 500 of them and this time the burst of energy made Qin Feng feel that his cells were unable to absorb it all quickly enough.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    The robots were huge, causing the roads in the Underground Kingdom to be heavily congested. Much to his convenience, it meant that he was able to hide among the robots, as the robots in the back could not advance!

    ¡°Rise!¡±

    Using his consciousness, he moved five hundred of those robots to close off the intersections of the road and prevented them from attacking.

    Furthermore, he realized the Lesser Sacred Armors were avoiding the buildings. These buildings were at least fifty stories tall, truly giving this ce the vibe of a concrete jungle and making the size of the Lesser Sacred Armor seem small. It also gave Qin Feng time to catch his breath.

    The overflowing energy was unable to nourish his cells, so he turned this energy into the purest form of internal force like he did years ago.

    In the dantian, his internal force was beginning to rise.

    ¡°Beep beep, reassessing for a new attack route!¡±

    The robots sent out a wave of consciousness and within less than a second all the robots stuck in the congestion started to fly into the air.

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

    There were at least five hundred robots flying in the air and after flying into the sky, these robots positioned themselves at all angles and covered all possible areas in a three dimensional space, there was no ce for Qin Feng to escape to.

    White energy began to condense!

    ¡°You asked for it!¡± Qin Feng gritted his teeth and raised the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The big deal was that if he left right now the energy would dissipate, and he was not going to hold back.

    ¡°Reaping-Thousand, Spirit Chain sh!¡±

    This attack soared into the air!

 Chapter 871 - Failure

    <h4>Chapter 871: Failure</h4>

    Tens of thousands of phantoms infused with internal force exploded over Qin Feng¡¯s head like fireworks.

    The five hundred Lesser Sacred Armor robots were all perforated by different phantoms and were disabled midair.

    Creak!

    The robots all folded up like dumplings before they crackled and soared toward the ground, causingrge craters upon impact. Some even crashed into the deactivated ones on the ground that he had positioned earlier.

    Finally, they hadpletely stopped.

    However, a weak whisper of consciousness managed to pass forward.

    ¡°Beep beep, threat level increasing. Requesting higher ordinance for defense!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was currently shrouded by a huge amount of energy and the transfer speed was shocking. If another batch of robots came rolling in he would not be able to handle it!

    However, when there were no other robots around, the fluctuations of that kind of special consciousness transference was easy to detect. He managed to catch something on the top floor of the tallest building. Without even thinking, his consciousness surged.

    ¡°ming Meteor!¡±

    The Earth and Fire ability was activated, forming arge meteorite that began to fall from the sky.

    Boom!

    The meteorite crashed into the building, instantly blowing it up, and that consciousness disappeared.

    Except for the sound of the crackling mes, there was no other movement around and it allowed Qin Feng to breathe a sigh of relief.

    However, after that, a new problem arose.

    His Absorption Ability quickly transferred the pure energy around him into his dantian and melded it into his internal sea. The seas were ever increasing.

    81 seas! 82 seas!

    In just one breath, his internal force was formed into two seas.

    Within less than a minute¡¯s time, the internal force inside his body had reached 90 seas.

    After a minute, his body obtained up to 100 seas of internal force.

    There was no way topress it due to it being pure energy.

    With Qin Feng¡¯s current capacity, if he tried to gather three more seas worth of force it would be very likely that he would burst.

    At the same time, he had entered a curious state.

    As the internal force in his dantian filled up, the Asteroid Assimtion move began to spiral.

    As an S-tier martial art, the Asteroid Assimtion technique had its own specious system and every time it reached a new rank it was extremely risky, but that was normal for those who practiced this technique.

    That was because the most terrifying thing about the technique was trying to suppress its violent outbursts of conflicting energy.

    However, Qin Feng also had the Absorption Ability and it managed to do a fantastic job at suppressing these violent bursts of energy.

    And now that the seas in his body hadpletely filled up his dantian, he had entered a new and unfamiliar state of existence.

    Regardless of before or after his rebirth, he had never reached this kind of breakthrough before.

    He unconsciously began to drift away as he sat down cross-legged, while his mind began to project image shes to him.

    In the battle between Long Yue and He Tianxing, the image of a bright full moon appeared behind them. Its surface was scoured with gashes that looked to be made by a de and had an irregr fluctuation of internal force.

    ¡®Is this apression?¡¯

    ¡®Ancient warriors start from the F-tier, cultivating internal force and absorbing invisible spiritual energies from their surroundings. Theypress this energy into internal force and turn it into a gas!¡¯

    ¡®The gas turns into a fog, the fog turns into a cloud, the cloud turns into a sea of clouds before condensing into liquid!¡¯

    ¡®The liquid bes a pond, a pool, a sea!¡¯

    That was what all ancient warriors knew.

    What about beyond that?

    Why were S-tiers so much stronger than A-tiers, they were at least ten times stronger and a terrifying force to be reckoned with.

    There were even many S-tiers that had had omniscience within their grasp, after all that Eye Devil managed to attack Qin Feng all the way from the Amazon Alliance while he was in Huaxia.

    So powerful, how was that possible?

    With such a drastic change, how could it happen?

    It definitely was not as simple as expanding the internal force into an infinite ocean, but a third kind ofpression.

    Internal force couldpress into a state like solid ice, transforming into a globe like the anomaly that Long Yue and He Tianxing had.

    As for the specious nature of the Asteroid Assimtion, Qin Feng felt like he had suddenly opened up a stairway up.

    ¡®Oh I see!¡¯

    ¡®No wonder the Asteroid Assimtion is so violent, Liu Meng didn¡¯t die in the end. He ascended into S-tier!¡¯

    ¡®Once the internal force bes a solid state, it would stabilize. The solid state wouldn¡¯t be unpredictable, but the internal force would develop a color pattern. The control over it bes different from what other people do as it takes on a different color. Once Liu Meng became an S-tier, it meant that his training in the Asteroid Assimtion technique wasplete!¡¯

    ¡®The Asteroid Assimtion technique is a dark martial art. If it fell into the hands of a person who would even hesitate a little when it came to transforming the state of their dantian within the body, the longer it took, the easier it would be for them to die!¡±

    ¡®On the contrary, if one goes full steam ahead, the faster they take to solidify their internal force, it would be harder for them to die!¡¯

    In fact, Qin Feng recollected that Liu Meng managed to reach S-tier in the matter of three years. With such a violently unpredictable internal force, how did the guy manage to hang on?

    Perhaps being cruel was only one aspect, luck, was also an aspect as well!

    ¡®I don¡¯t need luck, all I need is power!¡¯

    The thoughts shed through his mind, the surrounding energy was still filling his body and it made it difficult for him to think further.

    Qin Feng manipted the sea in his body, drawing out the power of ten seas and trying topress it.

    Ten seas was the amount possessed by those in the A-tier, but Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was more solid than theirs. Even with the same amount ofpression, Qin Feng had an easier and a higher sess rate when it came to ascending into the S-tier.

    After this period, his power would be greater than theirs.

    ¡°Compress!¡±

    He eximed as his body tensed up like arge hand that was holding onto and vigorously pressing down on the sea.

    Thepressing force increased and the seas were gathered up under Qin Feng¡¯s influences.

    Whoosh!

    Although they were pressed up against each other, even with the ten seas fusing together, there was no sign of them condensing into a solid state. What was more was that over time the seas began to push back outward, struggling with a repelling force.

    When there was no oppression there would be resistance.

    Since it could not bepressed, the seas gushed out.

    Boom!

    The force that he was originally manipting inside his body suddenly burst, crashing against his dantian and then rushing out of his body.

    In an instant, his face turned pale before his face suddenly turned red.

    ¡°Blurgh!¡±

    He coughed up a mouthful of blood and the aura on his body suddenly became much weaker.

    What Qin Feng did not expect was that he would actually fail!

    Ten seas worth of internal force all rushed out of his body and his dantian was injured.

    Fortunately he had used the gaia crystals to strengthen his dantian, otherwise it would have definitely been punctured.

    Ascending into S-tier would not be so easy. Many people tried to break through this step, but before they could reach the top they plummeted all the way down.

    Countless people have met their end like this!

 Chapter 872 - Frozen Star

    <h4>Chapter 872: Frozen Star</h4>

    However, there was a saying that even a step backward opened up vast opportunities.

    With 10 seas worth of internal force having left his dantian, it started to feel less crowded inside. The Absorption Ability was still continuing to churn the surrounding energy and because Qin Feng¡¯s body was injured, it was quickly getting repaired.

    If he were any ordinary person, Qin Feng¡¯s injury would have been stuck with him for the rest of his life and if there were no opportunities, it would have been impossible to recover in ten or twenty years.

    But right now, it only took a moment for Qin Feng¡¯s face to turn from miserable defeat to a flush of red and the internal force was quickly replenished.

    With the dantian under control again, his mind stirred, quickly starting to think.

    This failure was a wake-up call to him, telling him that things would not be so easy.

    ¡°What a mistake, should have known better than to try to condense my internal force so quickly. I should have asked my seniors for information first!¡±

    Right now, something like this was beyond his ability.

    Besides, he soon realized where his shorings were!

    ¡°I don¡¯t have a controlling method I can match this with. My awareness isn¡¯t powerful enough to suppress this energy and my consciousness hasn¡¯t yet reached S-tier, there¡¯d be no way to rece that!¡±

    ¡°External forces don¡¯t just need consciousness and awareness, some items can be used as supplements. Otherwise, those high level items wouldn¡¯t be priced so expensively. Those A9 tiers that are a step away from S-tier must all be looking for them!¡±

    With that in mind, Qin Feng took out two things.

    One was the S-tier blood concentrated crystal.

    Then, there was the eight-petal Snow Jade Lotus that Hu San gave him.

    He set his sights on thetter, knowing that this lotus was a powerful item with a great magical effect and it could even be used topress one¡¯s vitality and dy aging.

    Then, would it be able to condense internal force?

    When Qin Feng thought of this, he finally made the decision. Compared to the blood concentrated crystal, the snow jade lotus was obviously more suitable for him now.

    Click!

    He opened up that sealed box and in the next moment the cold air that was released from it almost froze him in ce.

    He wanted to use his fire element to get rid of this cold but decided against it. Not only that, he reached out to pluck off a lotus petal and gulped it down.

    His entire body felt like it was freezing up.

    The external force started to merge with his body and was manipted by him, and before it could transform into energy it was shifted toward his dantian.

    This chill came from an external source, and he did not have the intention of integrating it into his body. He manipted the chill as well as the ten seas¡¯ worth of internal force to form them into arge ball of ¡®water¡¯.

    The edges of this ¡®water¡¯ ball were beginning to freeze up due to the cold air.

    ¡°Compress!¡±

    With this force freezing it, the ¡®sea water¡¯ could no longer rush out and would not explode and rush out like before when it was gettingpressed.

    On the contrary, as the pushing force exploded, a small crystalline object finally froze over in the center of the ¡®water ball¡¯

    This crystal was really too small.

    For Qin Feng, what he saw was hope.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    With the pressure of outside forces, the ¡®ice¡¯ ball started to get smaller and smaller and the internal force became smaller and smaller as well as it transformed into a solid ice globe.

    Originally, gas, water and ice were just used to describe the forms internal force could take, but such a description was not literal. Otherwise if it was actually like water then it would have increased in volume when it froze.

    But now, this globe was getting smaller and smaller, and Qin Feng¡¯s dantian became like his conscious space. Inparison, his consciousness was much bigger.

    The first frozen internal force star was finally formed.

    His internal force solidifying meant that his internal force had reached the S-tier!

    In an instant, his aura changed!

    He still had some seas of internal force within him that had not been transformed, so his aura was sometimes faint.

    On one part, his aura of an A-tier ancient warrior was represented by his seas of internal force. The other part was not clear at all.

    The S-tier had their auras hidden, unless he released its pressure he would be just like how the elders were.

    Like how Long Yunyi was.

    That was exactly what Qin Feng had be.

    When he opened his eyes he looked into his dantian in a daze. The appearance of that frozen star represented his fate that had be different from what it was in his past life.

    This was a kind of transcendence.

    The never before reached S-tier seemed like it was at his fingertips now.

    Not only that, his nature remained clear. There was not any anomaly he could detect, so crystal clear would not be an exaggeration.

    It was uncertain what kind of reaction this state would generate.

    However, it was not over yet.

    He reached out again to pluck off another petal of the eight-petal Snow Jade Lotus and put it into his mouth.

    Like clockwork, he was going to condense the other 90 seas of internal force he had.

    He had no prior experience with this at all, and now he felt like he was grasping at rocks to cross a raging river. If he was seen by other S-tier ancient warriors or A-tiers who were cultivating to rise up in rank they would have said he was ridiculous and had his head in the clouds!

    When an ancient warrior condensed his first frozen internal force star, it would automatically rotate and absorb the surrounding internal force before gradually expanding.

    Compressing 10 seas worth of internal force was only the first step, the rest was a gradual process.

    Therger the frozen star, the higher its strength. Calcting based on its diameter, its first expansion would mean S1 tier, its second expansion would be S2 tier and so on.

    While the bigger the star meant the high level in terms of power, nobody had ever heard of condensing a second frozen star.

    Since he had not reached S-tier yet, what if Qin Feng wanted to make another frozen star? This would not be possible in the future. Once internal force entered his dantian it would get integrated into the frozen star and he would never be able to make another one again!

    There were only some legendary practitioners, or the impable members of those top strongest families who had been able to condense multiple stars and that was due to the umtion of countless A-tier resources.

    In the Huaxia Region, there had only ever been one person who managed to do it and he was deemed as a reserve for being the closest to the strongest in the region.

    Prince Xiao!

    The young patriarch of the Li n, currently an S-tier ancient warrior.

    He had condensed three frozen stars and was invincible in terms of strength whenpared to those of the same level and had very few rivals. It could be said that he was in a ce where he was very proud to be in, and nobody knew just how much natural resources he had used in order to reach that state.

    Qin Feng was not privy to any of these secrets and attempted to make another frozen star the same way he did the first, naturally condensing a second one.

    As he continued to do this, the process became easier as practice makes perfect.

    Eight snow jade lotus petals were eaten and eight frozen stars were made.

    However, while the rotation of the frozen stars would start absorbing the surrounding internal force the process was not very fast. After Qin Feng condensed eight stars, only 10 seas remained inside his dantian. This was due to the Absorption Ability constantly absorbing the surrounding energy and by the time he was done condensing he had already absorbed all of the Lesser Sacred Armors¡¯ energy!

    ¡°Now that my awareness has reached S-tier due to the creation of the frozen stars, I¡¯ll try again. Even if it fails it wouldn¡¯t matter!¡±

 Chapter 873 - Nine Stars In Rapid Succession

    <h4>Chapter 873: Nine Stars In Rapid Session</h4>

    With that in mind, Qin Feng¡¯s awareness was like arge hand grasped onto the ¡®sea water¡¯.

    Before that, his awareness was like a child¡¯s hand, unable to hold onto the ¡®waters¡¯ as it flowed from the gaps between his fingers.

    Now, he had a pair of giant hands, pressing one palm against another, and without much difficulty hepressed the remaining internal force into a frozen star.

    The ninth frozen star was a sess!

    The nine stars all lined up together and started to rotate within the dantian. Under these circumstances, Qin Feng did not need to make them rotate as they would naturally absorb the energies from his surroundings and continuously grow.

    ¡°Am I considered an S9-tier ancient warrior now?¡± He withdrew his attention from his dantian, feeling the strength in his body as the corners of his mouth slightly curved up, and he let out a joyfulugh.

    It seemed like this mistake was going tost for a while.

    He stood up from the ground and looked at the Lesser Sacred Armor robots all around, regardless of the Lesser Sacred Armor or the robots both of them had value.

    ¡°Store!¡±

    With his consciousness moving the robots along, they were neatly arranged and stored into Qin Feng¡¯s spatial rune equipment.

    This time Bai Li did not follow him so he carried abat backpack that was filled with spatial rune equipment.

    The items in the Perished Land were asionallyrge machines that required a lot of space.

    At this time, he looked down to the city below.

    Calling this a city was no exaggeration, as his consciousness spread out he detected countless skyscrapers rising out from the ground that seemed to contain advanced technology. There were some objects that he saw but did not know what they were for.

    However, even with his consciousness he still could not reach the edge of this city. One could only imagine how big it was.

    In the city, the most obvious building was the tall tower that he attacked earlier.

    In fact, thest wisp of consciousness had alsoe from that building.

    When his consciousness swept over, in the next moment, it seemed as if he was discovered and the previously dissipated consciousness started broadcasting again.

    ¡°Send for higher-level ordinance, exterminate!¡±

    In an instant, nine figures rocketed out of the building. These nine beings were notrge and looked to be probably around his height, their physical shape resembled humans. They wore armor on them that shone with a milky white light.

    Qin Feng was in a daze for a moment before he remembered what these things were!

    ¡°Sacred armor!¡±

    Indeed, it was not Lesser Sacred Armor, but actually True Sacred Armor.

    After he obtained the sacred armor, because its light was far too obvious he used the Magical Tesseract to transmute its appearance. This also caused him to quickly forget what the sacred armor had originally looked like!

    However, he would still remember its energy signature!

    And now, what happened to appear in front of him were nine sacred armors!

    It was said that the Soul Tribe had produced ten sacred armors in total, if that was the case, these nine were the remaining ones.

    Besides that, the only ones that wore them were machines.

    For Qin Feng, this was basically like a free meal ticket.

    Thinking of this, he did not hesitate to move his feet.

    The nine sacred armors locked onto Qin Feng, and their hands began to emit incandescent light.

    The powerful sacred-armored and highly perceptive robots started to aim at him.

    They even predicted his trajectory as he moved, the attacks suddenlying out and soaring toward his body.

    However, Qin Feng waspletely different from how he was previously.

    Whoom!

    With a hum, nine round frozen stars appeared behind him.

    Long Yue and He Tianxing¡¯s S-tier internal force impressions were like the full moon, glowing with a bright white light. In fact, the strongest and most pure internal force would be transparent.

    However, it was something they could not do. Their internal force and the force they absorbed were not pure enough and they might have used countless cultivation and improvement materials to reach S-tier. As they continued, their internal force globes would be like a bright moon.

    The more transparent the internal force, the purer it was. Nobody had seen any as translucent as Qin Feng¡¯s.

    The nine frozen stars behind him spread out like a peacock¡¯s fan before raising up a powerful defense.

    A transparentyer of internal force appeared, while it looked like it had substance that was about as thick as a hand it was not like that thinyer as before. Only the texture indicated its level of power.

    Right now, it was thick, and it was thick enough to make people feel despair!

    Boom boom boom boom boom!

    The beams mmed into theyer of internal force and his internal force did not budge at all. There was not a single crack on it and it felt as good as new, his body did not even feel any tremors.

    Although the sacred armor was powerful, it was only B-tier armor and by now it could not harm him.

    Qin Feng, with the infusion of internal force, ramped up in speed.

    Whoosh!

    In an instant, he appeared behind a sacred-armored robot

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber shed out, cleaving from top to bottom in a single swing, but he was careful to not destroy the sacred armor as the air current he sent out enveloped the robot.

    In other words, the Soul-Lock Stone in the Verdant Emperor Saber had absorbed the soul contained within the robot.

    His footsteps moved like lightning.

    One step, two steps...seven steps, eight steps!

    shing with every step he took, the eight remaining robots, as if like the light in a human¡¯s eyes, started to flicker before theypletely went out.

    Crack!

    The speed of each step seemed to be within a nanosecond, within just one second he managed to defeat all of the robots present.

    When these robots dropped from the sky and crashed into the ground a huge burst of energy erupted from them.

    By now, the Absorption Ability was not even needed. The nine frozen stars began to quickly plunder the surrounding energy.

    The stars gathered the energy into a halo but with all nine stars collecting the energy at the same time, it was impossible to grow in size so Qin Feng did not feel like a rank-up was on the way.

    Under his consciousness¡¯s influence, these sacred-armored robots were also swept into his spatial rune equipment.

    ¡°Do you think you still have time to run away?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s voice was cold, his figure resembling that of a phantom as he moved toward the building in the blink of an eye and stood in front of a robot.

    It was a very small robot. If it were not for its energy signature, Qin Feng would have thought it was an animal and not a robot.

    In front of him was a small fuzzy dog, frozen in its tracks, with blood-red eyes.

    Seeing that Qin Feng had stopped in front of it, the puppy let out a bark and turned around to run.

    In the next moment, the Verdant Emperor Saber almost mmed into the small dog¡¯s body.

    ¡°D-don¡¯t kill me!¡±

    The consciousness he had sensed earlier was quickly transmitted.

    Moreover, this consciousness did not have that rigid, mechanical feeling, but full of the emotion that sentient beings had.

    This was a unique alien machine.

 Chapter 874 - The Mechanical Sacred Star

    <h4>Chapter 874: The Mechanical Sacred Star</h4>

    In the Perished Land, the Shades had all lost their state of mind and they were scattered all over after they were broken, no longer deemed as being ¡®alive¡¯.

    Although the robot in front of him had a different kind of Shade energy, what was really the interesting part was its main body.

    Qin Feng quickly saw through the aura of this robot but it was obviously different from the ones he had faced. Of course, it should be called a robo-dog!

    ¡°Then speak, where is this and why are you here?¡±

    He started to tilt down his de.

    The robo-dog hurriedly said, ¡°This is Gwaxin City, I¡¯m a detective droid!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a frostyugh, ¡°A detective droid more intelligent than the sacred-armored robots? You¡¯re joking, right?¡±

    Murderous intent flickered behind his eyes, pressing down on the robot¡¯s consciousness and causing its body to tremble.

    ¡°Aaah don¡¯t kill me! I¡¯ll talk! I¡¯m Gwaxin City¡¯s Master-Mind Mainframe!¡±

    ¡°Master-Mind Mainframe?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up.

    That was something considered to be top-tier technology.

    Both itsputing ability and its adaptive capabilities were very powerful. Even more so, the mainframe of the Perished Land was bound to carry aplete data log of its technology.

    If this Master-Mind Mainframe was brought back, would it not be possible to make Fengli City advance at an even faster pace?

    With something like the Lesser Sacred Armor and the sacred armor, if those could be mass produced, then the rank-up rate would be absolutely horrifying.

    A C-tier person, with the help of the Lesser Sacred Armor, could leap up to having the same attack power of a beast emperor!

    The sacred armor could also help a C-tier catch up to a B-tier in terms of strength.

    With such a treasure appearing in front of him, Qin Feng was naturally delighted.

    At this moment, upon seeing the look on his face, the robo-dog¡¯s mechanical mind quickly churned and said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m very useful!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded, he naturally knew that the Master-Mind Mainframe was going to be very useful but there were still some things unclear or unknown to him that might pose some unknown danger, so he decided to start testing this object of unknown origin.

    ¡°You say you are the Master-Mind Mainframe, shouldn¡¯t mainframes be massive? How are you so small?¡± Qin Feng stared directly at the small robo-dog with a look of suspicion in his eyes. Of course, he also remembered that the sacred armor had a liquid form.

    While he did not underestimate the machine, parts of this robo-dog, such as its screws, looked to be just normal metal.

    ¡°That¡¯s the failsafe the Shades made for me. As the top mainframe, my consciousness is very powerful so in order to prevent me from getting out of control, or taking over others¡¯ minds, or developing independence and disobeying them, they merged me with the body of this mechanical dog. Your attack earlier killed me, this body is already a spare!¡±

    ¡°Your technology is based on merging souls with machines? What if the souls die? Then the machines can¡¯t be used anymore?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡± The robo-dog nodded. For it, this wasmon knowledge. However, Qin Feng did not know that.

    Qin Feng felt a little remorseful. In fact, those robots had been very useful, especially those sacred armor robots which were able to predict his attacks. They were very powerful.

    Now that the soul was dead, the machines would naturally be unable to start.

    ¡°Can¡¯t you reinsert a different soul?¡± He asked.

    ¡°With the Soul Tribe dead and no more Soul Power to go around, there¡¯s no way to do that!¡± The robo-dog replied.

    Qin Feng put aside that question for now and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Now that the Soul Tribe has been destroyed, do you still n on staying here?¡±

    When the robo-dog heard this, its eyes glowed with red light and said, ¡°I can¡¯t leave. It is a rule left behind after I was created. Unless the Soul Tribe erases that memory or if I change masters!¡±

    ¡°Change masters? Didn¡¯t the Soul Tribe perish?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s a matter of imprinting on the soul!¡±

    ¡°Then, that¡¯ll be easy!¡±

    He withdrew the Verdant Emperor Saber. The mechanical dog in front of him did not look like it was capable of fighting back, and if it tried to run away, he would not give it that chance to do so either.

    As his internal force spread out, he drew a contract magic circle on the ground!

    In the past, energy crystal cores were needed to support these but with the energy that Qin Feng¡¯s body had he could make tens of thousand of magic circles if he wanted to.

    He had only used this magic circle once, and that was on Bai Li.

    While the robo-dog was abination between a Shade and a machine, since it was really a Shade piloting the mechanical body, he believed that this contract was very possible.

    The robo-dog had no intention of running away. When it saw the formation of the magic circle, it looked as if it understood something.

    ¡°Go on in, I¡¯ll be your master from now on and bring you out of here. Of course, you don¡¯t really have another choice, got that?¡±

    He briefly raised up the Verdant Emperor Saber, a faint threat.

    After that, the robo-dog¡¯s previous hesitation suddenly disappeared and it quickly moved its mechanical paws to step into the magic circle.

    When Qin Feng activated the magic circle, his consciousness rushed into the robo-dog¡¯s body.

    He ¡®saw¡¯ that the soul from the other¡¯s body was incredibly bright, undoubtedly close to C-tier in terms of power. While it was rtively strong, he knew that even though the Soul Tribe could manufacture the powerful sacred armor, it had no way to break into B-tier by itself.

    That was the limitation of that tribe.

    As such, the robo-dog had a powerful soul but its body was far too weak and did not have anybat capabilities.

    When Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness collided with the robo-dog¡¯s soul, it scared the daylights out of it and forced it to retreat.

    Originally, based on its intellect, the robo-dog had initially nned to resist Qin Feng, but that idea was quickly dropped.

    Just as Qin Feng could ¡®see¡¯ into it, so too could the robo-dog see his soul.

    His consciousness was very powerful and intimidating, it was not something that the robo-dog could resist.

    As he explored the robo-dog¡¯s soul, he came upon a mark which he thought had been left behind by the robo-dog¡¯s previous owner!

    The owner in question had been dead for too long. The mark, the impression on the soul, was too weak. Qin Feng reached out and easily wiped it away.

    Then, his consciousness naturally left behind his own mark in the robo-dog¡¯s soul.

    ¡°Contract made!¡±

    At this time, it was like the robo-dog and Qin Feng had made a contract, but this contract was very different from Bai Li¡¯s.

    It was an envement contract!

    A very unequal contract.

    He also helped himself and directly read the robo-dog¡¯s memories.

    The huge amounts of data was naturally not what he needed. What he wanted to see was what was in the city, what treasures were left and where the machine factories were. All of these were things that he could take.

    While he had the robo-dog, thus obtaining all the mechanical blueprints, nothing could be produced empty-handed and making machines could take a lot of time. Thus, it would be better to just take those that had already been made.

    At this moment, Qin Feng ¡®saw¡¯ something in the robo-dog¡¯s mind. The existence of another machine.

    ¡°Is that... is that the Sacred Star?¡±

 Chapter 875 - Heading Toward Sacred Star

    <h4>Chapter 875: Heading Toward Sacred Star</h4>

    The appearance of the Sacred Star would be exactly on thest day of each activation of the Perished Land to release energy that was extremely beneficial to the Shades.

    After Qin Feng had seen the memories of the robo-dog, only then was he surprised to know that it was like a giant satellite.

    Like a man-made satellite, or perhaps a Soul-Tribe-made.

    ¡°How could the Sacred Star be so powerful?¡± Qin Feng was instantly caught by surprise.

    If such a unique star were to be brought back to Fengli City by Qin Feng, it would definitely be the best enhancement the ability users could ask for.

    Unfortunately, although it was a man-made satellite, it was still sized above thirty thousand meters. Hence, it was impossible for Qin Feng to ce it into his spatial rune equipment. Despite having enough spatial rune equipment setups, the storage was still insufficient.

    Qin Feng asked, ¡°Do you have any airships here that could arrive at the Sacred Star?¡±

    The robo-dog was surprised that Qin Feng had already begun to prey on the Sacred Star, and it shook its head, ¡°Although there are machines that could reach there with avable energy sources, the surrounding maic field around the Sacred Star would prohibit anything from getting close to it. Most importantly, there arebat robots on the Sacred Star equipped withbat armor that are even more powerful than the sacred armors!¡±

    Qin Feng was surprised.

    Although the sacred armors were extremely powerful, they were still B-tier advanced god armor that no longer suited him.

    It would definitely be better if there was something more powerful than the sacred armor!

    ¡°What is that?¡±

    ¡°Thatbat armor is named as the Dark Armor by the Shades as they do not know anything about theposite materials in it. Most importantly, it could absorb energy from the surrounding and not rely on any replenishment from the Shades. However, it was the same reason that had led to the banning of this Dark Armor as a forbidden practice!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned as he realized that those light spots were helpful for the Shades.

    ¡°Meaning to say, the Sacred Star is not actually absorbing energy but the Dark Armor is?¡±

    The robo-dog nodded, and then shook its head while exining, ¡°Indeed the Dark Armor is absorbing, but it is the Sacred Star¡¯s massive carriage that contributes to its weight. Without the presence of the Sacred Star, it will be impossible for the sacred armor to float in the universe!¡±

    Qin Feng continued with his question, ¡°But judging from the usage of the Dark Armor, it is definitely a sacred item. Why would it still be listed as a forbidden practice?¡±

    The robo-dog answered, ¡°Simple, the Dark Armor is capable of absorbing disunited particles, and it could also absorb souls. Putting it in human terms, even evil ghosts would find it unfavourable. Therefore, it is definitely a threat to us!¡±

    ¡°Got it!¡± Qin Feng nodded as he finally understood the entire picture.

    The robo-dog interrupted again, ¡°Hence, the robot that is equipped with Dark Armor is not connected by Shades. He is very powerful inbat, but has zero intelligence. You will definitely die if you go to the Sacred Star!¡±

    Qin Feng was able to take down the robot, and the crucial factor was the Soul-Lock Stone on his Verdant Emperor Saber. However, the robo-dog did not look favorably upon Qin Feng¡¯s capability.

    Qin Feng casuallyughed, ¡°Now that you mentioned it, I am even more interested!¡±

    The robo-dog still tried to persuade its newfound master to stop him from seeking his own death and putting it into the same trouble. Itpletely refused to seek trouble from the Dark Armor.

    But all of those persuasions were interrupted by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about the Sacred Star now, first move all of these items away!¡±

    Qin Feng began sweeping across the entire city.

    Being one of the intelligent species, the Shades also had their own buildings and developments to fulfil their needs.

    Every shop was scavenged by Qin Feng, including shops that sold cars, weapons, and robots.

    Even the hospital was not missed out by Qin Feng, although it was just there for the Shades to seek medical assistance.

    All sorts of items were collected topensate for thecking need that he had in his region, includingmp posts andrge disy screens.

    Qin Feng even had to utilize his qinggong skills to speed up the collection on such trivial matters.

    Therefore, it had taken Qin Feng approximately ten days to gather up every item around the city.

    Two more days were spent by Qin Feng in removing every machine around the factory area, and nothing was left behind.

    Including the first day when he arrived in the city, Qin Feng had spent thirteen days at the underground city of the Perished Land. In two more days, thend would be closed and it would then be impossible to get out.

    ¡°Alright, ready to go!¡±

    Qin Feng ced hisbat backpack on his back, the spatial rune equipment in it had not increased. Only the robo-dog that had been following Qin Feng knew what was inside, the numbers were too overwhelming and the varieties were too great a detail.

    Qin Feng sat on the backseat of a machine that looked like a small sized aircraft, while the robo-dog sat in front of the control panel.

    ¡°I can only send you to a location that is ten kilometres away from the satellite. The Sacred Star is actually constantly moving. When it arrives at the closest spot to the soul star, you would then have to be careful of explosive energy from the Dark Armor. It would be best if everything could be settled before the energy explosion from the Dark Armor!¡± The robo-dog suggested in a humanized way.

    ¡°Hmm!¡± Qin Feng answered even though he had already made up his mind.

    With his current capability, he might be able to go up against the Dark Armor so it would still be fairly easy for him to escape from it.

    The aircraft glided across the underground kingdom at high speed and then fled out from another exit. As it was flying high above the ruinednd, nobody would notice its presence.

    Soon after the airship flew out from the atmosphere of the soul star, it then entered into space.

    While urrence of major rifts had caused an exclusion of knowledge rted to space beyond the atmosphere, the main reason was due to the vast andplicated energy mix that had crowded the space. Some were even inappropriate for human body absorption as they would bring nothing but harm.

    Therefore, there was not much understanding of the world beyond the atmosphere, while the general understanding toward the universe was also confined to a poor and minimal level. Knowledge obtained from supernatural science was rather focused on mostly realm-rted elements and their causes.

    Countless numbers of realms, including the one where Qin Feng was in, were most probably parallelly aligned or ovepped. Energy was the main cause of conflict that would trigger an energy spike in a location. It would then lead to spatial rune vibrations and then drive the ovepping process topletion.

    It was in a simr state as the Battlegod Tomb.

    More scenarios were then discovered that helped in exining and understanding other cases. Perhaps in another hundred years, they would all be new mon rules¡¯ that required no exnations.

    The airship that was piloted by the robo-dog was more powerful than the aircraft that Qin Feng had modified. As soon as it entered into space, it was attacked by countless numbers ofser rays and unique energy.

    The airship was shrouded by an energy ring to defend it from the attacks.

    In the absence of weight, it could only rely on thrust to change its course of direction. It was constantly consuming energy cores or other materials with simrposites.

    Qin Feng had to move on by himself.

    Out in space, the entire universe was pitch-ck, apanied by a glimmering gxy from afar. Energy from some of thes was still channelling through although they were hundreds of millions of lightyears away.

 Chapter 876 - Dark Armor

    <h4>Chapter 876: Dark Armor</h4>

    Qin Feng looked around and seemed to have been enlightened by something.

    But that thought immediately disappeared before he could grasp it.

    Then, Qin Feng looked toward the Sacred Star.

    Despite knowing the surface area of the Sacred Star, it still resembled a massive steel beast. Furthermore, the surface was not totally barren and bald, energy receiving towers were established around it. They were even equipped with energy sting structures that looked like massive satellite dishes.

    For the moment, Qin Feng had yet to notice the presence of any robots.

    The airship was stopped and the robo-dog did not move it from the spot.

    ¡°Master, we have arrived!¡± The robo-dog reported.

    ¡°Hmm!¡±

    Qin Feng answered as his internal strength shield formed into an intensely thickened barrier around him. He opened the cabin door of the airship and jumped out.

    Internal strength was exerted and it pushed Qin Feng toward the Sacred Star.

    Radiating rays and energy of the universe were violently emitted toward him, while Qin Feng¡¯s frozen star spiralled unconsciously and absorbed the energy. But as soon as it entered into his dantian, his translucent frozen star was then discoloured by pollution. It was a mixture of white and grey colour, and some of the energy was uncontroble.

    Qin Feng was suddenly enlightened once more in regards to what he thought of earlier.

    ¡°Energy from the stars is indeed massive, but ordinary human being would definitely not survive in this ce. The only option is to resist with enclosed dantian and consciousness to prevent these energy invasions.¡±

    But it was different for Qin Feng.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng released his ability to absorb the polluted energy in his dantian, and then transformed those messy energies into purified energy sources.

    His body, internal strength and even his consciousness were nourished by it!

    It seemed like the advancement speed was even faster than being at precious locations like Fengli City or Dragon Capital.

    However, it was not the time for practicing. Qin Feng¡¯s main purpose was definitely to enter the Sacred Star and look for the Dark Armor.

    Internal strength surged and moved Qin Feng¡¯s body closer to the Sacred Star.

    Within the ten kilometres radius around the Sacred Star, Qin Feng began to feel the gravitational force from the star. Thending experience was simr to entering into another realm. But the surrounding sky was still pitch-ck as it was in outer space.

    Qin Feng¡¯s senses instantly captured the entire Sacred Star.

    ¡°This kind of sensation, it¡¯s something I wouldn¡¯t even dare dream of!¡± Qin Feng eximed.

    Before his rebirth, he was just an A-tier ancient warrior. He was only capable of expanding his senses to a ten kilometres radius when he had achieved A-tier.

    But when he achieved S-tier, he was then capable of expanding to a thousand kilometres.

    Such a massive coverage was absolutely terrifying.

    ¡°No wonder Eye Devil could attack me from such a far distance, but that was most probably a unique technique of his that I have yet to discover. Also, even if my senses are able to reach millions of meters away, I still cannot muster such attack power. That¡¯s why Eye Devil is positioned at such a high rank, having an absolute influence over the Amazon Alliance. He¡¯s basically a long-range annihtion cannon!¡±

    Qin Feng came to this realization and sighed a little before his senses quickly detected the presence of a robot.

    The robot was not moving, but half-squatted at a centre that was surrounded by eight towers.

    Needless to say, all eight towers were connected with extended ties to countless numbers of towers. They were formed into a uniquely chained maic field that could absorb rays from the universe.

    The pollution of radiating rays was much worse there, and the centre point was exactly where the Dark Armor robot was at.

    The Dark Armor robot was totally different from other robots.

    If it was not because Qin Feng knew that it was a robot, he would have thought that it was a human being. Itsmon facial features could easily blend into a crowd and have everyone forget what it looked like.

    The only bizarre characteristic was its unblinking eyes. It was not even breathing, and its body was not moving at all.

    From what his consciousness could sense, the robot indeed did not have any signs of life at all. There was not even the presence of any consciousness.

    Qin Feng retrieved his consciousness and stepped forward.

    His movements were sped up by his internal strength. Within a blink of an eye, he had arrived at the ten thousand metre radius from the Dark Armor robot.

    It was at that moment, the Dark Armor robot finally began to move. Countless amounts of data flickered before his eyes as his vision captured Qin Feng¡¯s presence.

    ¡°Intruder spotted, proceed to annihte!¡±

    ¡°Begin annihtion!¡±

    Almost immediately a dark light pir took form in its hand and was instantly shot out.

    The light pir was aimed exactly at the spot where Qin Feng was about to move toward, and it was another attack that Qin Feng had no chance in dodging.

    Superiorputing capability.

    Qin Feng was extremely shocked by such capability, but the attack meant nothing to him.

    Swoosh...

    The dark energy pir shrouded around Qin Feng and it was blocked out by his internal strength shield. With just a slight horizontal move, Qin Feng was able to immediately avoid the straightforward course of attack.

    Qin Feng rushed forward again.

    His Verdant Emperor Saber was already in his hand.

    It was rather inappropriate to use his Spirit Chain Rend at that moment, but not other skills.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    An array of mes instantly exploded and spanned across an area of hundred meters, instantly shrouding around the Dark Armor robot.

    Computing figures were again showcased before the eyes of the Dark Armor robot.

    ¡°Irresistible, estimated level of destruction thirty-three point eighty-one percent, retreat!¡±

    In the next moment, the Dark Armor robot instantly disappeared from the ground.

    Both Qin Feng and his opponent hadunched their attacks once, and Qin Feng had managed to grasp the key attributes of the Dark Armor robot.

    ¡°No wonder it is named Dark Armor, it is utilizing dark runes!¡±

    Unsurprisingly, dark runes were capable of transforming dead corpses into dark puppets, and part of the bizarre control was fuelled by soul energy.

    Despite being fuelled by such energy, the Dark Armor still did not have its own consciousness and could only use dark abilities that were readily avable.

    For example, some presence-concealing skills.

    It might be considered as quite high-level for others. Perhaps an ordinary ancient warrior would not be able to capture the Dark Armor robot. After all, such an opponent would not reveal their presence like an ordinary living human being.

    Unfortunately, such dark abilities were performed before Qin Feng.

    It was merely child¡¯s y to him.

    Qin Feng raised his hand; an array of imposing and vigorously aerated des was sted out.

    It was the zing Sky.

    The eyes of the hidden Dark Armor robot flickered again.

    ¡°Irresistible, estimated level of destruction...¡±

    In the next moment, the Dark Armor robotputed the same oue and retreated again.

    It was moving at lightning speed.

    Boom!

    zing Skynded on the ground and sted it into a deep pit. A tower that stood along the attacked path was cut in half, crashing to the ground.

    However, the shadow of the Dark Armor robot was no longer seen at its original spot.

    Qin Feng missed both attacks, but he incessantly continued on with them.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    Qin Feng was curious to find out what else the Dark Armor robot had up its sleeves!

 Chapter 877 - The Final Day

    <h4>Chapter 877: The Final Day</h4>

    When Qin Feng was about to pursue it, shiny light red in the Dark Armor robot¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Calcting attack pattern. Viable offensive measure verified.¡±

    In the next second, the robot was enveloped in ayer of dark runes before stepping into darkness.

    However, Qin Feng was able to see everything that the robot was doing. Any tricks that utilized dark runes were no use against him after all.

    Yet, the Dark Armor robot did not know this. Its ¡°offensive measure¡± was also probably just a protocol that was pre-programmed in its operating system.

    When it hid in the darkness, the Dark Armor robot¡¯s speed was greatly enhanced¡ªeven faster than it was before.

    When it was retreating from Qin Feng earlier, it was an attempt to evade his attacks. It was more of a means of minimizing damage, not a total retreat.

    Right now, the immense speed that it was disying was rather stunning to witness.

    In just a blink of an eye, it had emerged behind Qin Feng before shedding off a small piece of its dark armor, revealing a one-meter long de that was ring with rainbow-ish re.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    The de stabbed straight into Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy shield, instantly prating it.

    This attack was almost as powerful as a strike from an S-tier.

    However, Qin Feng was totally unharmed despite having his internal energy being prated.

    The de was stuck!

    The Dark Armor robot¡¯s eyes were ring with yellow glow again, trying to calcte its next move.

    Then, the de radiated a blinding re before exploding into pieces.

    Booom!!

    A massive explosion erupted, destroying every building within thousands of meters in the area. The explosion was so massive that even the robo-dog, who was ten kilometers away, was able to witness it from afar. All it was worried about at the moment was what would happen to itself if Qin Feng were to die from this.

    It was then, another powerful energy burst out in the explosion¡¯s ground-zero.

    It was a wave of terrifying me.

    A fire dragon appeared on the Sacred Star and rammed straight downward to the ground, crashing the attack away.

    This was Qin Feng¡¯s counter-attack.

    In that split second, Qin Feng almost got blown to pieces. Yet, he was able to unleash his fire dragon in the nick of time, negating the robot¡¯s powerful attack.

    After the fire dragon shed its attack to nothingness, the Dark Armor robot slipped into darkness again.

    The Dark Armor robot¡¯s attack pattern seemed to be mimicking the styles of an assassin¡ªalways looking for an opening before delivering a swift, lightning strike.

    Unfortunately, the robot was not able to take Qin Feng down at all.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, started to act more cautiously now.

    If this robot was moving like an assassin, with its high-tech weaponry and inhuman speed, one sliver of mistake could result in his head being chopped off.

    A robot assassin, geared with an A-tier super armor could very well murder an S-tier if given the chance. In a way, this robot was quite simr to Guan Jinhao.

    And right now, the Dark Armor robot had only one objective¡ªto kill Qin Feng, a B-tier whose only advantage was his immensely powerful internal energy. Thus, there was a possibility that the robot could indeed kill him.

    Therefore, Qin Feng too hid in the darkness, intending to fight the robot head on.

    Of course, the Dark Armor robot was still able to lock onto Qin Feng¡¯s whereabouts.

    ¡°Well, well, well! I guess I get to be an assassin for once!¡±

    Qin Feng then actively concealed his presence too.

    He was nning to assassinate He Tianxing in the near future. As such, he might as well do a little practice right now!

    Hence, both Qin Feng and the Dark Armor robot were moving stealthily in the dark, trying to take down their opponent in the next opening they saw.

    Then, they struck.

    From time to time, explosions erupted.

    Sometimes, one could see either one of them chasing another in the sky before slipping into darkness.

    The fight went on for the whole day.

    The robo-dog was able to witness from afar that Qin Feng was actually not at any disadvantage at all. In fact, after fighting for the whole day, Qin Feng did not disy any signs of fatigue; and there were a lot of times where he was really close to sessfully assassinating the Dark Armor robot.

    Still, Qin Feng did not deal the killing blow. He wanted to use the robot as a training buddy.

    And by fighting against the Dark Armor robot, Qin Feng¡¯s strength and skills as an assassin grew stronger and stronger.

    Meanwhile, the Sacred Star kept on moving too. In just a day¡¯s time, the Sacred Star was now really close to the Perished Lands.

    Suddenly, the Dark Armor robot stopped its attack and dashed toward another direction.

    Not understanding what was going on, Qin Feng gave chase.

    Realizing that Qin Feng was pursuing it, the Dark Armor robot sped up!

    Whoosh!

    The robot dashed into a huge device. It seemed to be some kind of energy emitting station.

    Then, the robot seemed to be brimming with energy. It had unleashed all the energy that it had been draining in the past fifteen days in one go.

    Then, a bright ray of light was fired around the device.

    This energy was what the Shades needed the most. Last year, the Shade that was geared with the sacred armor devoured other Shades. This year, there was no sacred armor for these Shades to wear. In just one year¡¯s time, these Shades had absorbed about twenty rays of these Sacred Star¡¯s light.

    Then, about thirty twenty-meter tall Shades climbed out of their hiding to bask in the light. Some of them even started to fight amongst themselves, trying to be the first to receive the light.

    Seeing this, the prodigies who were in the ruins right now quickly used this chance to hunt down more Shades to acquire the treasures that they were carrying.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, realized something.

    ¡°Hey, if the Dark Armor robot has unleashed all its energy... does that mean it is now just an empty shell?¡±

    And seemingly in an attempt to answer Qin Feng¡¯s doubt, the robo-dog piloted its airship andnded on the other side of the Sacred Star.

    ¡°Master, since the Dark Armor robot has unleashed its energy, it is now not as powerful as it was before. You can destroy it and take its armor!¡±

    ¡°Ah, just as I thought!¡±

    Still, Qin Feng had some other idea in mind.

    The S-tier puppet that he acquired from Kounsat was able to cut off He Tianxing¡¯s arm. And this robot here was actually much stronger than that puppet. Perhaps he could keep this robot as his puppet too? And then, he could use this against He Tianxing!

    ¡°Is there any way for me to acquire and control the Dark Armor robot?¡±

    The robo-dog immediately answered Qin Feng¡¯s question, ¡°No, there isn¡¯t.¡±

 Chapter 878 - The Scariest Things are the Prodigies

    <h4>Chapter 878: The Scariest Things are the Prodigies</h4>

    Qin Feng gave the robo-dog a cold nce. Even though it was in a machine body, the robo-dog could not help but feel a chill running down its Shade-based soul.

    The robo-dog did not know how to observe a human¡¯s emotions and feelings. However, it was able to trace the reason, via logic, as to why Qin Feng was not pleased with its answer.

    ¡°But... but! The Dark Armor robot hasbat records in its core. If you can take it off, you could then build a new robot and make it your servant.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯ll do!¡±

    Qin Feng took a look at the Perished Land. Due to the unique gravitational location the Sacred Star was at at the time, the Perished Land was above his head.

    Having raised his head, Qin Feng could observe that several fights had started from the emitted energy earlier.

    The energy was rather pure and potent; and it was converted into a form that only Shades could absorb.

    Noticing something, Qin Feng raised his Verdant Emperor Saber and fused his internal energy in it.

    ¡°Wanzhong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend...¡±

    Using his Spirit Chain Rend, Qin Feng activated several spirits.

    The ¡°spirits¡± that he activated had no consciousness and intelligence. However, they were still spirit-type creatures. After releasing them, these spirits quickly absorbed the energy that was released by the Dark Armor robot earlier.

    Not only that, these spirits covered the whole sky while absorbing the energies that were being unleashed by the energy-emitting device.

    Everytime Qin Feng activated his Spirit Chain Rend, the spirits that were originally trapped in the Rend would usually be harmed. Some of the spirits were so weak that each sh he threw would kill them instantly.

    Then, Qin Feng activated his Asteroid Assimtion to absorb them.

    By absorbing them, Qin Feng¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend then became much stronger each time he activated it.

    Meanwhile, in the Perished Land.

    The Shades realized that the Sacred Star¡¯s light was gone. These Shades were low-intelligent creatures. They were just some spirits that wandered in the Perished Land aimlessly and responded to the light because these lights seemed to be beneficial to them¡ªmuch like animals responding to the sight of food.

    As such, even if the light was suddenly gone, these Shades seemed to not be upset at all.

    However, the prodigies that were hunting these Shades could not help but to take notice of this sudden change in the environment. Some of them were first-timers in this area while some of them had been here before.

    Still, without the Sacred Armor, they were not too bothered by the appearance of the Sacred Star. All they knew about the star was that it seemed to have baitedrge groups of Shades to reveal themselves, and that was all.

    Zhou Hao spoke to his team after seeing that the light had disappeared.

    ¡°Stop the battle and prepare to leave. Qin Feng said that when the Sacred Star stopped its activity, this whole ce would be shut and sealed. If we don¡¯t go back now, there¡¯ll be no way home!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Lu Meng took out a super cannon and shot a st at a gigantic Shade.

    A crystal-like shell was bombarded straight into its body.

    Boom!

    The Shade exploded into nothingness in an instant!

    Naturally, whatever it was carrying all fell to the ground. Lu Meng was rather particr with her aim, ensuring that she would not destroy the treasures and items that the Shade was carrying.

    Of course, there was no need to worry even if they were damaged. They just had to take everything that fell out of its body!

    All six of them quickly swept across the battlefield and looted everything they could before activating their spatial waymarks and returned to Dragon Capital.

    Due to Qin Feng being a prior example, no one was worried even though Zhou Hao and his team had stayed in the Perished Land for fifteen days.

    They were not thest to return too.

    They noticed that there was one person missing; it was the leader of the Southern Region¡ªNangong Feiyang.

    This young man was the new challenger in the Nangong family¡¯s branch. He was able to collect a Heavenly Jewel by chance in the wild and had gotten his strength rapidly enhanced from E9 to D6-tier. This was how he was able to represent the Southern Region this year.

    However, he was still a newly ascended D6-tier. His strength¡¯s foundation was still not stable. And now, he had not returned yet even though the others had already retreated back to Dragon Capital.

    Other than Qin Feng, Nangong Feiyang was the only prodigy that had not returned yet.

    Of course, they did not need to worry about Qin Feng because he was already really strong. No one would need to worry about him even if he stayed in the Perished Land for a full year.

    However, things were quite different for Nangong Feiyang¡ªif he stayed there too long, he would definitely be dead.

    They could not help but feel that this young man had faced some kind of untoward fate.

    ¡°Perhaps Nangong Feiyang has gotten too bold due to his rapid growth. Damn... this boy. He should know that the scariest thing about the Perished Land is not the Shades! It¡¯s the other prodigies!¡± Nangong Shi sighed.

    Nangong Shi had predicted this would happen.

    The boy was indeed strong. With his D6-tier strength, Nangong Feiyang boldly stepped into the ruins and coborated with the Dragon-bornes to hunt down Shades for their treasures and resources.

    This young man, if things were not to go astray, would definitely be an influential leader for the Nangongs in the future.

    Meanwhile, seeing that the Sacred Star had started to dim down, Nangong Feiyang expressed that he wanted to leave.

    ¡°Guys, it¡¯s been a pleasure working with you all. Regretfully, I can¡¯t join you all next year. May we meet again someday!¡±

    To Nangong Feiyang, even though these temporary allies were not humans, they were much more dependable than his human allies. Qin Feng even abandoned them, making him venture in this realm alone.

    Perhaps his human allies would not expect that he would be so lucky to meet these dragon-borne allies!

    It was then, a tall Dragon-borne spoke using his consciousness.

    ¡°Nangong, I really wish to visit your realm. Would the ce you¡¯re visiting next wee people like us?¡±

    Nangong Feiyang frowned.

    Although this request was a sudden and weird one, Nangong Feiyang was thinking about whether it was appropriate for them to ask this¡ªhe was thinking about the unlikely viability for their visit to happen.

    ¡°My apologies, my friend. The ce I¡¯m going to visit next is sort of unweing to your people. However, you¡¯re always weed to visit my hometown in the Southern Region.¡±

    Although the Nangongs had residences in the Dragon Capital, their home base was still in the Southern Region. As such, Nangong Feiyang felt that it was more appropriate for him to wee his new alien friends there.

    Besides, it would be a bragging right for him to show his fellow Nangongs that he had some dragon-friends!

    However, the Feathered-tribe young man who was standing next to him replied with a sinister smile, ¡°Well then... we, too, are kind of unwilling to part with you, Mr Nangong.¡±

 Chapter 879 - Spatial Waymarks Missing

    <h4>Chapter 879: Spatial Waymarks Missing</h4>

    Upon hearing that, Nangong Feiyang responded with a smile, not understanding the situation at all. The feathered man then forcefully demanded, ¡°Nangong Feiyang, hand me your spatial waymark!¡±

    Nangong Feiyang was surprised to see his new friend acting this way.

    Then suddenly, he felt his body tensing up before it started to move on its own and handed three of his spatial waymarks to the feathered man.

    ¡°And the stuff that you acquired earlier?¡± The Dragon-borne said.

    Nangong Feiyang¡¯s face turned pale. He finally realized what was going on.

    However, he was powerless to stop his body from handing out the loot that he acquired earlier to them.

    All his hard work... this half a month¡¯s worth of work... they were meant to grant him a good life. And now, they were all for nothing!

    ¡°Let¡¯s split the goodies, shall we?¡±

    ¡°Sure! And the spatial waymarks too! Each one of us gets one!¡±

    ¡°Alright, when we reach this human realm, you better not fight with me!¡±

    ¡°Sure! Let¡¯s have a longsting, happy coboration!¡±

    ¡°Hahaha! I wonder just how many of them humans are there in this realm. I am quite sure that this species has no supreme champion at all due to how meek they are. Still, they make great ves though!¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡±

    ¡°We Dragon-bornes don¡¯t really want anything. Just give us their women. If you want to kill the men, be my guest!¡±

    These people were discussing happily as they distributed Nangong Feiyang¡¯s spatial waymarks.

    Then, they looked and smiled sinisterly at him.

    The Dragon-borne grinned widely before reaching his hands to Nangong Feiyang¡¯s neck, wanting to snap it.

    Nangong Feiyang¡¯s eyes widened in fear.

    He did not want to die.

    It was then, the feathered man smirked, ¡°Hey, don¡¯t kill him. Let¡¯s just leave him here and let him rot. There¡¯s no food in this Perished Land. So, with no means of going home, it¡¯s a matter of time before he dies of hunger here. Besides, I want to see just how funny it is for a human prodigy to die in agony like this!¡±

    Upon hearing this, the Wild Tribe man who was standing next to himughed out loudly, ¡°Too bad I can¡¯t witness it after we leave this realm though. Still, I bet it would be a really interesting sight to watch!¡±

    Although the Dragon-borne still believed that killing Nangong Feiyang right away would be the much better way, he opted to not do it to honor his friends¡¯ wishes.

    Besides, the Sacred Star was about to fade. As such, they really had to go now.

    Then, all three of them took out their own spatial waymarks and activated the spatial tunnel to their own home worlds. In one leap, they were all gone; and all three of Nangong Feiyang¡¯s spatial waymarks were taken to other realms.

    Perhaps, it would not take long before the first alien invasion urred in Dragon Capital!

    A few moments after that, Nangong Feiyang was finally released from their control. Staring at the barrennd around him, Nangong Feiyang could not sense any humans left in the area. Everyone had left.

    Of course, he could not leave. His waymarks had been robbed off him.

    ¡°I... I can¡¯t go home...?¡±

    Nangong Feiyang panicked.

    Suddenly, he recalled something before quickly searching in his pockets. A few secondster, he found an item that looked like a grenade from hisbat suit¡ªthere was an electronic screen on the ¡°grenade¡±.

    He quickly connected it with hismunicator and entered a few words. Then, a countdown of three minutes began.

    ¡°Quick... Quick!¡±

    Nangong Feiyang stared at the gradually dimming Sacred Star¡¯s light, hoping that this thing could do it before the final ray of these lights disappeared.

    If not, he could never return home ever again!

    And these three minutes felt like years to him right now.

    Meanwhile, as the Spirit Chain Rend swallowed all of the energies and star light, Qin Feng could feel that he had be stronger. At the same time, the Dark Armor robot had begun to move again.

    However, this time, the robot had lost its trump card¡ªall of the energies that it had absorbed were now gone.

    ¡°Bye!¡±

    Qin Feng shed out his Verdant Emperor Saber at the robot¡¯s head, chopping it off.

    Then, he used his consciousness to rip the Dark Armor off of the robot¡¯s remains.

    The Dark Armor started to morph into a pool of ck liquid and then into a ckbat armor in front of Qin Feng. Due to all of its absorbed energy having been released, it was now safe for Qin Feng to wear it, which he did.

    As the Dark Armor was put on him, Qin Feng concealed his presence¡ªif one did not see him with their own eyes, there was no way for them to use their consciousness to detect him.

    This was the power of the Dark Armor. It was quite expected, really. This thing was an A-tier armor, even more powerful than the sacred armor.

    After acquiring the armor, Qin Feng opened up the robot¡¯s remains and took out itsbat data chip.

    In a nce, he was quite surprised to learn about the chip¡¯s appearance¡ªit was made of Dark Gold! Not only that, he could also read it right away as soon as he held it in his hand.

    ¡°So, this chip is like the scrolls that have been crafted from the ultra beasts¡¯ hides. Hmm.¡±

    Thisbat chip was not just thebat data core of a robot; it was also a martial art scroll.

    To add more, the chip had not only recorded just one martial art but hundreds of them! From G-tier fist styles to the A-tier striking techniques! Every single one of them were techniques used by assassins!

    ¡°This is a treasure indeed!¡± Qin Feng kept the chip excitedly in his pocket.

    Finally, he had gotten what he came here for!

    ¡°The energy here is too turbulent to activate my spatial waymark. Let¡¯s return to the Perished Land first.¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    ¡°Yes, Master!¡±

    The robo-dog then brought the airship to him. Right now, the Sacred Star was rather close to the Perished Land; so, the Perished Land¡¯s dimension could be locked off if one mistake were made. Thus, the robo-dog moved quickly. In just five minutes, they had already gotten into the shielded area in the Perished Land.

    When they got through the barrier, Qin Feng waved his spatial waymark, intending to activate it.

    It was then, a massive explosion erupted in the sky.

    Several huge words emerged in the air.

    They were Chinese words.

    ¡°My Spatial Waymarks Are Missing! Save Me!¡±

    Qin Feng was surprised to see this. ¡°Oh, an S-O-S?¡±

    This was something that the Fengli Organization had invented awhile ago. They were grenades that could form energy words in the sky to deliver messages. The unique thing about these S-O-S grenades was that they would show words and messages in the air while concealing the explosion¡¯s energy, enabling other intelligence to see the S-O-S message while not attracting the ultra beasts.

    The S-O-S grenade could effectively show the message to people who were several dozen kilometers away.

    Well, right now, the most important thing was that someone was using this to call for help.

    And only the citizens from Qin Feng¡¯s home world would use this item.

 Chapter 880 - A Devastating Disaster

    <h4>Chapter 880: A Devastating Disaster</h4>

    ¡®Who¡¯s there? Doesn¡¯t look like Zhou Hao and the gang.¡¯

    First of all, it was impossible for Zhou Hao to clumsily lose his waymark. Besides, there were five of them. They could not have all lost their waymarks.

    Moreover, if so unfortunate that really happened, Zhou Hao could have already sent him an SOS message.

    ¡®I can¡¯t abandon a Huaxia prodigy here.¡¯

    Qin Feng ordered the robo-dog to descend the airship.

    Most explorers, including those from other intelligent species, were gone for now. Nangong Feiyang stood at one of the highest buildings but saw no humans within sight. Hispetitors from Huaxia were probably long gone.

    Despair grewrger andrger in his eyes.

    ¡°Is there no one around? Help! Help me please!¡± Nangong Feiyang growled hysterically. His pride as a proud prodigy had deserted him.

    He was a prodigy that had broken out from a branch family. His sudden emergence and unbelievable good luck had him a smooth sail until now, which fed his overconfidence. This setback had given him a huge blow.

    Nangong Feiyang now deeply regretted his own arrogance. He had his chance to group up with other prodigies but decided to work alone due topetitiveness. Now, he realized how foolish that decision was.

    Unfortunately, regret would not bail him out of his current predicament.

    Suddenly, he heard the sound of a machine whirring. An airship descended from the sky and entered his vision.

    Nangong Feiyang could not see clearly at first as his eyes were being blurred by tears. He hastily wiped away the tears and dripping mucus.

    A sound came out from the airship, confirming that he was not hallucinating.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Have you lost your waymark? What the hell happened to you...?¡±

    Qin Feng measured Nangong Feiyang closely and realized he was hardly injured. However, the weeping and the agony were not supposed to appear on the face of a neen-year-old prodigy.

    Nevertheless, Nangong Feiyang could not care less about his demeanor now. He shouted jubntly, ¡°General Qin! You are still here! Thank God!¡±

    Nangong Feiyang no longer viewed Qin Feng equally as a prodigy. He looked at Qin Feng fervently as if he had found his savior. He wished to hold his hand and never let go again.

    Qin Feng furrowed his brow in disgust.

    ¡°Answer my question!¡± Qin Feng stressed fiercely.

    Nangong Feiyang was startled. Out of embarrassment, Nangong Feiyang did not want to tell others what had happened to him. But after being pressed by Qin Feng, his final insistence crumbled and he told Qin Feng everything.

    ¡°My waymark was snatched.¡± Once he broke his silence, Nagong Feiyang could not stopining like a bullied child. He listed their offenses against him and spoke with deep resentment.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face could not be grimmer.

    Someone from a different dimension had taken hold of the waymark connecting to their world? Not only that but each tribe had taken one?

    A bad premonition struck Qin Feng after he remembered what happenedst year.

    ¡°Did you mention anything about Immortal?¡±

    ¡°Immortal? What¡¯s that?¡± Nangong Feiyang was clearly baffled by the question.

    It was not surprising that Nangong Feiyang had never heard of Immortal due to his rank and origin.

    Qin Feng thus asked using a different tone, ¡°When you fought them, did they try to pry about our dimension? For instance, did they ask who is the strongest person in our world?¡±

    Nangong Feiyang gave it a thought. He did not understand the rmed look on Qin Feng¡¯s face. Indeed, the opponents had asked something simr during their battle.

    In fact, now that he recalled, they had expressed enormous interest over the S-tiers in his world and repeatedly asked about them.

    ¡°They did...¡± Nangong Feiyang did not know why he sounded embarrassed. He realized he had perhaps spilled more than he should.

    Qin Feng pulled a long face after he received the expected answer.

    ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s return first.¡±

    Though he had said so, Qin Feng suddenly thought of something and turned around. His conscious power burst out and pierced right into Nangong Feiyang¡¯s head.

    Or more precisely, his conscious realm.

    Nangong Feiyang¡¯s brain buzzed loudly as he felt that his body was being controlled by someone else.

    This felt exactly the same as before.

    But in the next moment, he could sense that something that did not belong to his soul was terminated by Qin Feng¡¯s powerful consciousness. That immediately lightened him up.

    Nangong Feiyang immediately understood that it was perhaps a mental hint left in his soul by the prodigy from the Feathered Tribe. Otherwise, he would not have yapped away so many secrets so carelessly. He also would not have handed over his spatial rune equipment and waymark that obediently.

    When the hinttched onto his soul, Nangong Feiyang constantly felt like his heart was clenched by an unseen force. But because he had been under a lot of pressure ever since he entered the Perished Land, he did not think too much about it and med it on his stress.

    After Qin Feng helped him remove the hint, Nangong Feiyang finally recognized the source of his uneasiness.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng finally took out the spatial waymark this time. He imbued it with his internal force and created a spatial tunnel. After retracting the airship into his spatial rune equipment, the two men and a metallic dog walked through the spatial tunnel.

    They entered and exited the emptiness quickly. When they opened their eyes again, Qin Feng and Nangong Feiyang had reappeared at the top of the Tower of Dragon Gate.

    The guard, as usual, was waiting there. He was relieved to see them returning safely.

    ¡°Nangong Feiyang, your family has been worried sick. Nangong Shi has stopped by numerous times to ask about you. Luckily you made it back on the veryst day. Quick, you should call him now.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Mister.¡± Nangong Feiyang replied hastily.

    The guard smiled in return. ¡°But since you havee back sote, I bet you must have brought back a lot of loot. Remember, if you are interested in finding a buyer or a coborator, my organization will always open its door for you.¡±

    Nangong Feiyang¡¯s face slightly changed. He was embarrassed, indignant, and anxious all at the same time. He had actually brought back nothing.

    Pleading for help or even sympathy, he turned and looked at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng again noticed the same sight of reliance in his eyes and immediately had goosebumps.

    ¡®Is he neen years old or nine years old?¡¯

    ¡°Why are you looking at me. Not only have you lost everything, but what you did might have brought a disaster to our world.¡±

    Qin Feng switched on hismunicator. He did not contact Bai Li first since thetter had already been notified about his return through their soul bond.

    He had instead dialed Long Ting¡¯s number.

    Toot... Toot... Toot... Toot...

    Long Ting did not answer the phone immediately.

    Something strange then happened inside the Dragon Tower space. An unknown spatial tunnel abruptly ripped apart in the air.

    Then, a robust Dragon-borne emerged from the tunnel.

    An oppressive aura immediately hit those inside the tower.

    The aura of an S-tier!

 Chapter 881 - Kingâ€™s Command

    <h4>Chapter 881: King¡¯s Command</h4>

    Finally, Long Ting answered the call.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter, General Qin?¡± Long Ting¡¯s dignified face lit up the screen.

    Qin Feng did not have time to exin. He could only turn the camera of hismunicator toward the S-tier Dragon-borne and muttered coldly, ¡°You will find out very soon.¡±

    Without time to borate more, Qin Feng grabbed Nangong Feiyang and retreated frantically.

    ¡°Run!¡± Qin Feng shouted at the guard.

    The guard was stunned by the uninvited guest and bellowed, ¡°An alien?¡±

    Not only that but the alien had brazenly set foot on the Tower of Dragon Gate.

    The guard wished to chase the Dragon-borne back through the tunnel but was powerless in front of the S-tier. All he could do was to sound the rm.

    However, the Dragon-borne saw through his intention and would not give him a chance to do it.

    ¡°A man? You would have no use to us. Now, die!¡± The S-tier shortened the gap between him and the guard almost instantly.

    The Dragon-borne clutched the guard with his powerful grip.

    The guard finally understood why Qin Feng had fled immediately. He pumped internal force through his entire body in a panic to wield his internal force shield. His feet did not stop moving either and stomped the ground to initiate his qinggong skill.

    However, his response was a tad bit toote.

    The strength in terms of physique, speed, and power of an S-tier Dragon-borne was nothing a human had ever seen before.

    Pop!

    The internal force shield of the tower guard was easily punctured by the Dragon-borne, as if thetter was only poking a bubble with his finger.

    His finger did not stop there and moved on to strangle the guard¡¯s neck from behind.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡± A long sword came into the guard¡¯s hand. He reversed the sword into a back grip and stabbed the enemy behind him with all his might.

    It was ast-ditch assault. Even Qin Feng could feel the desperation from afar judging by the five seas worth of internal force discharged into the sword.

    Boom!

    Internal force and sword re exploded at once when the sword hit its target. It was an all-out attack that would damage both ends.

    The scales on the Dragon-borne were pierced through by the sword re. But that was about all the damage the guard tower could leave on the alien. It was nothing more serious to the Dragon-borne than a light abrasion to human skin.

    But it was certainly sufficient to enrage the Dragon-borne.

    Crack!

    The guard tower¡¯s neck was snapped. Not only that but his lifeless body was dragged back brutally by the Dragon-borne and shattered into pieces by his sharp ws.

    A well-respected A-tier aptitude user had fallen without much retaliation.

    Qin Feng was exasperated. His mind was fogged by revenge and irrepressible anger.

    Yet, he knew he could not turn back.

    Because one after another Dragon-borne hade through the tunnel. Unsurprisingly, they were all S-tiers.

    Second, third, fourth... A total of seven S-tiers.

    It was a devastating number.

    To any city in this world, seven S-tier enemies spelled immediate doom.

    Qin Feng nced at hismunicator screen and caught the dumbstruck expression on Long Ting¡¯s face. She had clearly sensed the S-tier aura that was vastly different from a human aptitude user.

    It was as if the Dragon-borne had appeared right beside her.

    In fact, the entire Dragon Capital was shrouded by immense pressure.

    Long Ting was not stunned for too long and growled, ¡°City guards, turn on the highest-level defense! Get the ninth-level force field up as quickly as possible! Do it immediately!¡±

    City guards stationed at Dragon Capital received the order first hand. They were actually the first group that was startled by the frightening S-tier aura.

    A momentter, a thick defenseyer began to scatter simultaneously from the top of the ninth and the bottom of the tenth level. This ultimately disconnected the twoyers and created an isted world from the tenth level onward.

    It was a force field that even an S-tier would not be able to break through. The force field was at least half a meter thick even at its thinnest point. The defenseyer consumed a massive amount of power credits every second it was on.

    This was basically a force field constructed by money.

    ¡°Every S-tier in Dragon Capital,e out and help fend off the enemies!¡± Long Ting¡¯s orders traveled into all ten levels of the city. It was like a queen, no, a king¡¯smand. No one could defy the call.

    Following the order, a spirited voice was first hearding from the manor residence at level ten.

    ¡°Let me give you a hand, Duke.¡± A cheerful old man with golden hair came into sight.

    S2-tier, metal ability user.

    If he had shown up in other ces, perhaps no one would recognize him. People would only take him as another brash parvenu.

    But people living in the tenth level were no ordinary citizens. They immediately recognized the old man¡¯s identity.

    ¡°Wan Shichang!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s old man Wan! He is probably counting money in his mansion!¡±

    ¡°Who cares! We should be d that he is in town at this difficult time!¡±

    Some aptitude users analyzed while they were retreating.

    Wan Shichang was the pioneer of the Wanzhong Organization.

    He was an experienced S-tier ability user and a celebrated tycoon in the Huaxia Alliance.

    However, that did not mean the enemies could be contained now. There were seven of them!

    ¡°Duke, I am going to try my best as a junior.¡±

    A handsome teenager arrived graciously with a fan in his hand.

    When he arrived, a lot ofdies that were fleeing could not help but turn back to nce at his attractive face.

    Li Xiao, Prince Xiao!

    ¡°Prince Xiao, you are being too humble,¡± Long Ting¡¯s voice reached them. She showed up not long after in battle armor with a spear in her hand. Her poise did not lose to any man. There were another two S-tier ancient warriors by her side.

    However, the two S-tier ancient warriors must have led a reclusive life before this. The others had never seen them before.

    Nheless, their outfits were eye-catching. They wore a loose robe with a cape. On the cape was written the word ¡°Long¡±.

    The two were actually members of the Long family.

    One of them was Long Yunyi while the other was an old folk, who was emanating a daunting aura.

    The Long family¡¯s depth was truly unfathomable. The fourth S-tier in the family had finally shown his face.

    ¡°Third elder, please remember that your life is what matters most. In the battle, you only need to help me stall one of them!¡± Long Ting said soberly.

    The old S-tier nodded and replied, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. I will take care of myself. Despite my age, I would not be defeated without giving the opponent a good fight.¡±

    ¡°Believe me, I will exterminate all of them before they can do that,¡± Long Ting dered imposingly.

    She had not disconnected the call. The seven S-tier Dragon-borne deepened her furrow.

    This was when a gorgeousdy with silver hair came by Qin Feng¡¯s side.

    Bai Li had arrived!

    Spatial Stabilization!

    Bai Li raised her hand and unleashed a powerful ability. Following that, the entire space within the tenth level steadied considerably. The spatial tunnel shrunk instantly, then vanished altogether.

 Chapter 882 - The Outstanding Dark Armor

    <h4>Chapter 882: The Outstanding Dark Armor</h4>

    If Bai Li had not secured the space in time, perhaps there would be the eighth and ninth Dragon-borne.

    Of course, sealing the space did not mean their work was done. They must kill the remaining Dragon-borne here and now. Otherwise, they could easily make contact with their original dimension once they got out from here.

    Long Ting witnessed and sensed what Bai Li had done. She was encouraged by it and her expression became more determined.

    ¡°We cannot allow them to leave. Kill them all!¡±

    The spear seemed to be almost fused with Long Ting as she charged toward the Tower of Dragon Gate.

    At the same time, Qin Feng teleported out by more than a thousand meters under Bai Li¡¯s lead. He used the momentum to fling Nangong Feiyang further away.

    ¡°Hide!¡± Qin Feng ordered.

    Nangong Feiyang scrambled to find his feet and fled desperately. A few stridester, he turned back bafflingly as he realized that Qin Feng was not leaving with him.

    Smash!

    The shortest Dragon-borne stood at least three-meter-high. One of them was even measured at four-meter by eye. The entrance was too short for them. They did not bow to exit but crashed past the door instead.

    Long Ting, Long Yunyi, the third elder from the Long family, Wan Shichang, and Li Xiao had all been standing-by near the tower.

    Not only that but up to a thousand A-tiers in the tenth level had also answered the call and besieged the Tower of Dragon Gate

    Inside the tower, numerous cannons at the center square had been loaded and were aimed at the seven Dragon-borne.

    Despite having their spatial tunnel shut, the Dragon-borne warriors did not panic. They could always return to their dimension with the waymark in their possession. Moreover, they were confident that no one in this world could stop their march.

    ¡°Kill them!¡±

    The seven Dragon-borne lurched at Long Ting and co.

    ¡°Dragonspear Art!¡±

    Long Ting growled and a fiery sun dawned behind her. It was her neb.

    Carrying her scorching breath, Long Ting charged forward like an airborne dragon. The spear in her hand turned into a meteor as Long Tingunched it. Its force seemed to split the air apart.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The aliens growled angrily. Their ws were their weapon and the thick scales on their bodies their armor. They did not fear Long Ting.

    Their aura escted rapidly. With that, their physique also got buffed up. From the already towering three-meter height, they further spurted into ten-meter giants.

    ¡°Rawr!¡±

    The angry Dragon-borne opened its maw and spit burning me.

    Boom!

    The two forces collided and exploded. It generated a terrible aftershock and toppled the A-tiers around the tower. If B-tiers were around, they would have fallen to the re-up.

    However, within a short instance after the explosion, Long Ting¡¯s long spear continued to pierce through the me unstoppably.

    The Dragon-borne did not expect this and was forced to evade. But it was toote.

    The spear gashed the Dragon-borne warrior¡¯s mouth, ear, all the way into half of his face. Blood dripped profusely from the wound.

    Long Ting heavily wounded an enemy in her first strike.

    The A-tiers were exhrated watching it. This was how their duke; their king should fight!

    The battle ensued as Long Ting took on three enemies alone while the other four S-tiers tried to stall the rest of the Dragon-borne. Such a battle was unseen and unheard of.

    The space-time around them appeared to be slightly distorted. However, thanks to the advanced stabilizing technology in Dragon Capital, in addition to Bai Li¡¯s ability earlier, the battle between the S-tiers did not unsettle the dimension like what happened in the Blood River Realm.

    Nevertheless, their destructive power was still pretty daunting. They had not yet pushed to their limit like the old man on the imperial robe at Blood River Realm, who turned the entire ruin into nothingness. Still, wherever the battle went, the structures around them crumbled instantly.

    The Tower of Dragon Gate was still man-made. It was built to stabilize the spatial tunnel above them. Now, it was falling apart. The central square was also crumbling, leaving only the transparent defenseyer below them.

    Most importantly, Long Ting¡¯sbat power was outrageous.

    Among the A-tiers, Qin Feng was the closest to the battlefield.

    ¡°Let¡¯s choose one to attack,¡± Qin Feng suggested.

    Bai Li nodded and surveyed the enemies. She was a beast deity now, so her senses wereparable to that of an S-tier aptitude user.

    But since an S-tier could in theory kill an A-tier beast deity, Qin Feng did not want to risk Bai Li moving alone. He kept her by his side to prevent any mishap.

    ¡°That¡¯s the weakest!¡± Bai Li pointed at the S-tier Dragon-borne Wan Shichang was battling.

    Indeed, he was the shortest among all after bursting his bloodline power. He stood only at eight-meter. Though his physique was sturdy and his speed was still far superior to A-tier, he was below average aspared to other S-tiers.

    He had probably just reached S-tier and not even S1 yet.

    On the other hand, Wan Shichang was an S2-tier aptitude user so the human side had an upper hand in this matchup.

    ¡°That¡¯s our target then.¡±

    Qin Feng gripped tightly onto his Verdant Emperor Saber. A dark aura began to shroud around them.

    ¡°This Dragon-borne is almost at the same level as He Tianxing. If I can kill this intruder, it means I can kill He Tianxing too.¡±

    Qin Feng wished to fight. But in the next moment, he calmed down and concealed his intense battle spirit.

    Then, a dark liquid emerged and bathed Qin Feng.

    It was the Dark Armor.

    Dark Armor had been released previously and was ready to use immediately. It crawled all over Qin Feng and then formed a fully dark armor.

    The ancient armor was exquisite in design. But no one would bat an eye because he was currently hidden by the dark. Besides, the Dark Armor was designed to help cover its user¡¯s presence.

    Qin Feng initially nned to activate the armor and assassinate the S-tier target quietly. To his surprise, the Dark Armor began to absorb energy from the battlefield once he put it on.

    As if it was insanely assimting the power leaked out from the S-tiers¡¯ neb.

    The attack power unleashed by the S-tiers was more dangerous than the solid-state neb but it could not be recycled easily. Thus, it was rapidly gathered by the Dark Armor.

    Besides, Qin Feng was neither a machine nor a phantom. The armor would deplete the energy of a soul but it had no harm on human flesh.

    Moreover, as an aptitude user that had internal energy beyond S-tier, he also had the one-and-only ability to absorb the energy around him. The addition of the Dark Armor amplified his ability and concentrated the energy around him by ten to a hundred folds. The rate of absorption improved considerably, too.

    While his internal force was enhanced, his physique was improving too.

    In other words, Qin Feng probably did not need to do anything and could still upgrade simply by strolling around the battlefield.

 Chapter 883 - Scary! Ten Thousand Cuts Spirit Chain Rend

    <h4>Chapter 883: Scary! Ten Thousand Cuts Spirit Chain Rend</h4>

    The Dark Armor was more powerful than Qin Feng thought, as if it was tailor-made for Qin Feng¡¯s assassination technique.

    If he could also master the ancient martial art recorded in the chip of the Dark Armorputer, Qin Feng¡¯s assassination would definitely be even deadlier. But time was against them now.

    ¡®This would do for now. Judging by my current power, killing an S-tier would not be too difficult if I time it right.¡¯

    Qin Feng erased his own existence and embraced the darkness, where no one could see or touch him. Not even consciousness could detect him.

    The fight between the twelve aptitude users remained intense. But the bnce had slowly tilted toward the Dragon-borne.

    The three Dragon-borne warriors battling Long Ting were witted veterans. They could sense Long Ting¡¯s resilience and admitted that she would not be defeated quickly. Hence, one of them decided to withdraw from the battle while the other two continued to stall her. The extra Dragon-borne measured the battlefield and was ready to intervene in one of the five remaining battles.

    Though the rest were no weaklings, it would be too demanding to have them handle two Dragon-borne at once.

    Even defeating one Dragon-borne seemed far-fetched. They could only hold the aliens back until more reinforcements arrived.

    Wan Shichang was considered vigorous for his age. Nevertheless, it took him to the limit versus the weakest Dragon-borne. He would be in grave danger if the extra Dragon-borne decided to pounce on him.

    Thus, he lured his opponent away from the main battlefield to build a safe distance.

    Coincidentally, he was headed toward where Qin Feng was hiding.

    ¡®Great!¡¯ Qin Feng was fixated on the iing Dragon-borne¡ªhis primary target.

    The dragon who had escaped from Long Ting¡¯s battle noticed Wan Shichang at the same time.

    If Wan Shichang knew that he himself was the weakest link, the Dragon-borne would also be intelligent enough to reach the same conclusion.

    The Dragon-borne charge forward ferociously. Apparently, he had decided to take care of Wan Shichang first.

    ¡°President Wan, be careful!¡±

    ¡°Get back!¡±

    The others noticed the danger and warned him urgently. A-tiers around the tower also wished they could rush into the battlefield to hinder the two Dragon-borne warriors from approaching Wan Shichang.

    The old man¡¯s life was too valuable. A giant conglomerate like Wanzhong was rted to too many sectors and too many individuals. They could not begin to imagine the recession that would hit Huaxia if the leader of thergest organization in the alliance was killed today.

    Wan Shichang could only retreat in the face of the double threat.

    Boom!

    A construction was demolished in the aftermath of the collision between the three S-tires. People staying too close to the edge were also injured by the recoil.

    ¡°Save the president!¡± About a thousand men from Wanzhong showed up. They were armed with numerous energy cannons and had all of them aimed simultaneously at one of the Dragon-borne.

    Blitz! Blitz! Blitz! Blitz!

    Thousands of sma beamsnded on the Dragon-borne battling Wan Shichang.

    The Dragon-borne was forced back by the bombardment. But his body was too durable and the attack only charred a few pieces of his scales.

    The other Dragon-borne took this opportunity to close in on Wan Shichang.

    ¡°Hahaha! Die now!¡± The Dragon-borne shrieked excitedly. Tinge of blood permeated through his eyes as his killing urge was about to be fulfilled.

    His attack caught Wan Shichang in a sh.

    Boom!

    It resulted in a strong vibration. Blood dripped out from Wan Shichang¡¯s mouth. He had suffered an injury.

    The Dragon-borne struck again.

    Qin Feng observed the fight closely. His eyes brightened up.

    ¡®Finally, an opening! This is my chance!¡¯

    Qin Feng lunged out from the darkness. Everyone¡¯s attention was caught by the figure that suddenly leaped out from the ruin.

    The single silhouette at the beginning first split into hundreds, then thousands more silhouettes.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    Qin Feng pushed his qinggong skill to the extreme. Most A-tier could not even tell one silhouette from another. All they saw was just a band of darkness. Those below A-tier even thought they were seeing ck-color fireworks erupt from the ruin.

    Only the S-tiers knew this was the result of formidable qinggong skill.

    The crowd of silhouette was all aiming at the Dragon-borne attacking Wan Shichang.

    That was right. Qin Feng diverted from his initial target and ambushed the stronger Dragon-borne walloping Wan Shichang instead.

    The Dragon-borne was too unfortunate, or perhaps Qin Feng was simply too lucky.

    After the Dragon-borne collided hard with Wan Shichang, he bounced back slightly and entered within a hundred-meter range of Qin Feng. To an S-tier, this was a terribly close distance.

    Though it only appeared within seconds, Qin Feng managed to grasp the precise moment when the Dragon-borne hadpletely released his power, while his subsequent strength was still only building up.

    This was the one in a million chance Qin Feng was waiting for.

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend, Ten Thousand Cuts!¡±

    Qin Feng did not hold back and unleashed his most powerful S-tier martial skill.

    The Spirit Chain Rend had been transmuted. Qin Feng managed to wield the skill¡¯s true potential better than its creator.

    This was because Qin Feng killed too many mutated beasts, while the creator had only killed humans.

    The human soul would never be stronger than that of beasts.

    Moreover, Qin Feng¡¯s souls had been strengthened by the Dark Armor earlier.

    Everyone could literally see the monstrous power being unleashed from Qin Feng¡¯s saber.

    Kaboom!

    The power exploded and it felt scarier than an S-tier¡¯s.

    The explosion resulting from the energy contained inside ten thousand souls was as notorious as one could imagine. The Dragon-borne hit directly by the explosion could not react in time as the ten thousand souls gushed through his body and shredded him.

    ¡°Ugh!!!¡± The Dragon-borne shrieked in pain.

    Behind Qin Feng, nine frozen stars shed past and amplified the ravaging spirits.

    ¡°Vanish from my sight!¡±

    Qin Feng swung his saber again. The powerful souls rumbled and crushed the Dragon-borne once again.

    No one noticed the quickly disappearing frozen stars behind Qin Feng. All they could see was the S-tier Dragon-borne finally sumbing to Qin Feng¡¯s ferocious attack. The alien body could no longer withstand and shattered into pieces.

    Boom!

    Blood and flesh were flying around but the energy contained within merged with nature.

    Though Dragon-borne were considered an intelligent species like humans, they were more like mutated beasts in terms of energy structure. As such, their energy naturally dissipated into the air after they were dead.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Dark Armor, frozen stars, and diamond starglobe went into action and assimted the energy greedily before it disappeared.

    Energy in Qin Feng¡¯s body once again skyrocketed.

    B9-tier!

    He could not hold back his aura entirely in the middle of a battle. The bursting aura had the people around him dumbfounded.

    ¡°B-tier? A B-tier aptitude user in the middle of the fight?¡±

    ¡°Who is he? How did he manage to kill the S-tier Dragon-borne?¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng! He is Qin Feng!¡±

    Some could recognize Qin Feng and eximed in bewilderment.

 Chapter 884 - A-tier

    <h4>Chapter 884: A-tier</h4>

    However, there was no time for pause during any battle, especially for Wan Shichang.

    Just when he was about to get seriously injured or maybe even killed, Wan Shichang saw Qin Feng¡¯s sudden arrival and brutal disposal of an S-tier. He could not help but let out a cry.

    ¡°Yes!!! You¡¯ve got a promising future kid, this old man owes you a favor, whatever you want just say it!¡±

    Although these words sounded pretty tacky at that time, Wan Shichang was quite the wealthy fellow.

    However Qin Feng did not respond to him.

    The Dragon-borne that Wan Shichang was facing earlier retreated because they were beaten by superior numbers. It suddenly attacked again with a surge of ferocity and desire to tear Qin Feng apart.

    ¡°I¡¯ll kill you!¡±

    The S-tier eximed as powerful energy surged and burst out from all over its body.

    Qin Feng put away his sword and activated Phantom Shift, causing tens of thousands of phantom images to scatter in all directions into the ruins.

    The Dragon-borne¡¯s body crashed down with the force like an atomic bomb, causing the ground within several kilometers to explode, revealing that the protection ced on the ground was nineyers deep.

    However, Qin Feng had disappeared without a trace.

    Although Wan Shichang was injured, he still rushed over to fight the Dragon-borne.

    Qin Feng lurked in the shadows and went back to observing!

    By now, everyone would have known of his presence and more people had their eyes locked onto where he had disappeared to, wanting to find his figure so that they could know what the timing of his next move was!

    But nobody could find him, not even the S-tiers, not even the Dragon-borne!

    ¡°Aaaargh!¡±

    A scream erupted from the battlefield, causing people to tear their eyes away from Qin Feng¡¯sst location to find its source. Long Ting¡¯s spear had pierced through the body of a Dragon-borne.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Long Ting roared, the tip of her spear burst out a wave of terrible force before it exploded.

    Just like that the S-tier Dragon-borne was yed by Long Ting.

    The situation of this battle had been turned on its head. Although it was still a five-on-five battle, Long Ting¡¯s ferocity and Qin Feng¡¯s elusiveness made the Dragon-borne¡¯s hearts sink.

    This realm was not as simple as they had imagined.

    And at this moment there was someone lurking in the dark, ready to pounce out and kill them at any moment.

    Naturally, the Dragon-borne did not know that Qin Feng was about a kilometer away from the battle where Long Ting was. When the third Dragon-borne perished, he once again absorbed its energy.

    Then, his physical strength skyrocketed again.

    Dragon-borne were notorious for their physical toughness. An S-tier powerhouse made Qin Feng¡¯s body instantly rank up again.

    This kind of promotion directly put him at the peak of B-tier, he was even about to reach A-tier very soon.

    His aura instantly leaked out.

    The Dragon-borne that were supposed to be fighting Long Ting suddenly turned their murderous gazes.

    ¡°You dare run after killing my tribesman?! Die!¡±

    With an enraged roar, the Dragon-borne quickly started to leap in that direction.

    The Dragon-borne¡¯s body was the same as a human¡¯s in a way that they could store internal force. When it brought its food down it released a powerful burst of energy that sent it soaring 100 meters forward. As it came down, the lower it was in altitude the stronger the iing attack would grow.

    When what was like the force of a mountain was crashing down, it was going to be difficult to get out of the attack radius if it hit the ground.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force immediately surged up!

    Whoom!

    His internal force was extremely dense, and as someone who had obtained S-tier internal force he was not afraid of facing the Dragon-borne¡¯s stomp attack.

    Boom!

    The surrounding buildings crumbled under the shockwave of this stomping attack.

    However, things were not so good on Qin Feng¡¯s end either!

    The energy in the surrounding area rushed into his body, causing his muscles to bulge.

    He was about to be an A-tier aptitude user.

    However, this was not a natural advancement. Everytime he ranked up he always needed a stable environment. What was more, when he was about to rank up he would use special materials so that he could reach the same strength as a beast deity.

    Otherwise if he evolved again things would not be so perfect!

    How could Qin Feng just ruin his foundation?

    His internal force resisted this stomp but the Dragon-borne continued its attack. Long Ting rushed over and crashed into the Dragon-borne so that Qin Feng would not get injured.

    He really was very strong and this battle gave Long Ting a whole new look at him.

    It was hard to imagine that someone could use their B8-tier strength to take down an S-tier Dragon-borne. Sure it was through the use of assassination, but that was enough to prove a point!

    ¡°Bai Li!¡± Qin Feng yelled. Without saying anything Bai Li had already activated her ability to transport him away from the area.

    Not only that, when the two teleported they reached an area that was ten thousand meters away.

    At this time, there were still plenty of humans seen evacuating on the streets. The ordinary humans who could not move their legs were forced to crawl on their bellies, otherwise if the battle swept over to them there was no doubt that they would be annihted.

    ¡°Let me enter your space!¡± Qin Feng said to Bai Li.

    When the battle was changing up, he had no time to waste in his rank up.

    Therefore, he decided to enter Bai Li¡¯s space which had an elerated pace of time.

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    When she opened up her space, he dove straight in.

    Upon entering, he did not dare to dy as he knew that time flowed very quickly here. At this time, his body was barely holding onto that explosive power and if it were not for him holding it in he would have had his breakthrough by now.

    However, his consciousness had not yet reached A-tier in terms of power and there was nothing suitable for him within his reserves.

    While this was risky, he was sure that there was not going to be a problem.

    In his hand were blood-colored crystals!

    The blood concentrated crystals!

    The blood crystal from that S-tier Gorefiend!

    This would be the most suitable thing for him!

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s diamond starglobe abruptly activated.

    The blood concentrated crystal transformed into mist, merging into his body and strengthening his cells.

    Under these circumstances his body underwent tremendous changes.

    In their saturated state, the cells absorbed more and more of that blood energy.

    This energy was something that strengthened his vitality.

    After the cells had absorbed enough, they began to split into more new cells in the blink of an eye and the original cells either burst or withered away as they were expelled from the body.

    Gradually, ayer of dead skin began to form outside of Qin Feng¡¯s body before it was joined by fresh blood and then the corroded, discarded blood.

    His inner body was gettingpletely refreshed.

    As if a shackle had been unlocked, his body let out a resounding roar.

    A-tier!

    Qin Feng¡¯s strength had finally returned to what it was in his past life!

    Even though at this time he was ten times, no, a hundred times stronger than he was before.

    However, it was not over yet!

    The blood concentrated crystal¡¯s energy did not cease and continued to ramp up.

 Chapter 885 - Unleashed Once Again

    <h4>Chapter 885: Unleashed Once Again</h4>

    If he had been somewhere around B-tier, the amount of energy that his cells were absorbing would have physically bloated him like a balloon before he would end up exploding like one.

    But now that he had reached A-tier, the cells in his body have gained arger capacity.

    Like a greedy behemoth, his aura underwent a terrifying change under that continuous absorption!

    An aura that demanded worship, akin to that of the gods, emanated from his body.

    The powerful energy instantly shattered the filth surrounding his body, emitting a bright light!

    His skin had be more delicate, his face firmer, and from whichever angle one looked he would look perfect.

    This did not mean that Qin Feng looked more feminine. It was a masculine version of beauty, solemn and majestic.

    Whether it was before or after his rebirth, everyone Qin Feng had met did not have this kind of temperament, but now that he owned it, he did not know about it.

    He had yet to realize his change, the blood concentrated crystal, just as he had reached the level equivalent to a beast deity, had been drained dry.

    When he opened his eyes, they had a glint in them. Even though he had not looked in a mirror, he felt that his aura was too powerful!

    From the surface, while Qin Feng was an A-tier aptitude user, his internal power was marked as S-tier.

    But this was not what he wanted.

    He began to recede his aura, the dark starglobe turned as a powerful dark aura shrouded his body and surrounded him with a kind of protection that concealed himself again.

    ¡°It¡¯s done!¡± He called out to Bai Li via the soul contract.

    Bai Li immediately opened up a spatial passage and Qin Feng jumped out of it.

    The time he had spent since entering that space was three hours. In the space that Bai Li controlled, time flowed with a ratio of 1:365. As such, when he came out, not even half a second had passed.

    Plus the time spent by Qin Feng and Bai Li moving and the time spent staying there for a moment, it all took one minute.

    On the battlefield, the changes were almost instantaneous. Before Qin Feng returned, Long Ting had killed another Dragon-borne.

    Now, there were only five of them left.

    Originally, the Dragon-borne were pretty confident in themselves and felt that they could take on the entire realm if they so chose to. After all, ording to the information they had, the strongest here was S-tier but they were very rare. What they did not expect was that five S-tiers would show up, along with a strangely dangerous B-tier aptitude user that had killed theirrade.

    If they dropped down into any other ce in Qin Feng¡¯s realm they might have been able to seed in their attempt to dominate mankind.

    However, theynded in Huaxia, close to Dragon Capital, where the strongest in the entire realm existed.

    What was more, there was another variable present!

    That was Qin Feng!

    The butterfly that was Qin Feng had changed too much. Perhaps Huaxia, or the entire Human Alliance even, would havepromised with a powerful being that had entered the human¡¯s realm and ended up selling off all of humanity as a result, but now that was not the case!

    At least, in the face of humanity rising up to face an alien invasion, there was one person that was outstanding.

    It was Qin Feng!

    The five Dragon-borne were not Long Ting¡¯s match, nor could they take on the others. If they continued to fight, she would take another down again and it was likely that they would face the City Duke of Dragon Capital one on one.

    ¡°Hrwoar!¡±

    The Dragon-borne cried out but the tone of it was strange. It was obvious that this was what theirnguage sounded like. Then, all five Dragon-borne started to move their feet and spread out in different directions.

    They were trying to escape.

    Long Ting suddenly yelled out, ¡°Don¡¯t let them run away! Everyone, block off the tenth level of Dragon Capital. No retreat, no surrender, make them stay!¡±

    Nobody could say for certain what would happen if they managed to escape.

    In fact, even without these Dragon-borne there might be other races appearing a few yearster, but Long Ting knew that she would not miss the opportunity to eliminate the danger.

    Therefore, there will be a fight till the end.

    As Long Ting¡¯smand ran out, a light shield came down. Energy was pulled from the central system one after another before the formed energy shield became extremely thick, sealing off the tenth level.

    The Dragon-borne were unaware of this. They were still trying to shake off the S-tiers that were hot on their tails.

    ¡°Stop them, no retreat, no surrender!¡±

    Rows of soldiers in garrison uniform formed up and raised the rifles they were shouldering.

    These energy weapons were very advanced and were even branded by the Fengli Organization. They were thetest batch of their most powerful firearms, and the Dragon Capital used its massive wealth to outfit its entire army.

    ¡°Fire!¡±

    The garrisonmander issued the order and energy beams formed into arge and covered one of the escaping Dragon-borne.

    The Dragon-borne was hit dead on and momentarily stopped.

    The Long family Elder running after it started to catch up.

    However, the Dragon-borne moved quickly, managing to evade the Elder¡¯s tackle and started to move again. He remembered the ones who attacked him, those people were now on top of a building.

    ¡°Die, whelps!¡±

    The Dragon-borne struck out his palm, and suddenly a huge dragon w made out of energy grasped onto the twenty-storey tall building.

    Boom!

    The building copsed as it was suddenly squeezed. Several A-tiers and B-tiers were caught in the dragon w!

    Pfft!

    With another squeeze of the dragon w, the people trapped inside were suddenly crushed like eggshells, turning into a bloody mess!

    ¡°Hahahahaha!¡±

    The Dragon-borne let out augh, then its body moved like lightning as it rushed toward the remaining garrison troops on the ground.

    How could the garrison had hoped to stop the mad force of an S-tier powerhouse, they were crushed into smithereens in an instant.

    ¡°Stop, beast!¡±

    The Long family Elder yelled with anger in his eyes, there was a trace of sorrow that could be detected from him. In a battle such as this, these A-tiers and B-tiers were cannon fodder that could die at any moment.

    The Dragon-borne was like a wolf that had entered into the midst of a flock of sheep, with a fang-filled grin, ughtering indiscriminately.

    ¡°Yes, this is what the battle is supposed to be, I¡¯ll kill you all!¡±

    The Dragon-borne let out a loudugh. The previous battle was far too awkward, but now, this killing and devastation filled him with glee, and looking at the rage-filled look on that Long family Elder¡¯s face made the Dragon-borne feel refreshed.

    At this moment, from a building behind him, a figure suddenly hopped out.

    The scales on the Dragon-borne suddenly spiked up, a sense of danger crept out from the bottom of its spirit.

    When he turned his head he saw a human d in ck armor.

    This was the human that assassinated one of hisrades earlier.

    Qin Feng was unleashed once again.

 Chapter 886 - Young Hero

    <h4>Chapter 886: Young Hero</h4>

    The S-tier Dragon-borne would have never imagined that the direction it was going was exactly where Qin Feng and Bai Li had been before. When he came out of Bai Li¡¯s realm, what he saw was the Dragon-borne running toward this area.

    ¡°You will pay the price for this ughter!¡± Qin Feng said calmly, but his calmness was like shimmering magma about to erupt. He was full of rage.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    His form moved very quickly, but he did not even activate Spirit Chain Rend.

    It was too hard to get a bead on him, after reaching A-tier his speed and strength had been greatly increased.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was a very powerful super god weapon. It was only when Qin Feng¡¯s ghostly figure approached that the assassination attempt began.

    However, the S-tier Dragon-borne had already sensed the iing attacker and moved to the side, trying to avoid any damage to its vitals.

    ¡°Pfft!¡±

    A fearsome arm covered in dragon scales flew into the air, blood spilling through the air.

    While the S-tier Dragon-borne had managed to avoid a fatal blow, its arm ended up getting chopped off.

    At this time, the two were at a very close distance!

    ¡°Aaah You will die for that!¡± The Dragon-borne was infuriated. At such a close distance, he thought that Qin Feng must have been doing a suicide charge. While he had lost an arm, he still wanted to kill Qin Feng.

    Sharp ws immediately shed in his direction, energy bursting out and covering the space all around Qin Feng, sealing him in that position.

    ¡°Not good!¡±

    The Long family Elder¡¯s expression dramatically shifted!

    In fact, at this time, he had hoped Qin Feng would note out. As a B8-tier aptitude user, Qin Feng could kill an S-tier. The future was limitless for young people like him and as such he should not die here.

    Not only that, but the other aptitude users felt their hearts tighten as they stared at the two fighting in the air.

    They all knew the reason why Qin Feng came out, it was to stop the S-tier Dragon-borne from ughtering more humans, but this attempt meant he was putting a lot of risk on his life.

    At this moment, Qin Feng became their savior, a hero.

    But such a young hero was about to die!

    However, at this moment, the expressions of these worried people hardened and slowly turned into doubt, surprise, and disbelief.

    Qin Feng was sealed by this Dragon-borne¡¯s energy, but he did not panic.

    The energy locking around him was just that, energy. Internal force was energy too and he felt that the energy within his body was leaps and bounds more than the energy inside the Dragon-borne!

    Since he could not avoid it, then why bother?

    ¡°Attack!¡±

    Qin Feng roared, the Verdant Emperor Saber in his handshed out.

    Hundreds of thousands of wailing phantoms burst out.

    The enemy¡¯s w was instantly shattered.

    Not only that, the power of hundreds of thousands of phantoms was also rushing forward.

    Qin Feng had activated his ultimate move.

    However, this trick had already been used once and the Dragon-borne was prepared. When he saw the phantoms rush out he opened his jaws and shot out a beam of bright light. In the next moment, he quickly dodged to the side and came around to rush at Qin Feng¡¯s nk.

    The speed of an S-tier was too fast. The A-tiers and B-tiers could not even see where the Dragon-borne was at all due to its speed.

    But Qin Feng could see clearly.

    Well, his awareness could ¡®see¡¯ clearly.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    He hid away in the mirages that Phantom Shift produced and the phantoms, under the infusion of the dark ability and internal force, wrapped themselves around the Dragon-borne.

    The situation had turned on its head!

    Everyone had their mouths agape as they stared at what was happening in front of them with disbelief.

    ¡°How is that possible? That Qin Feng is actually on par with an S-tier?¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, Qin Feng, keep going!¡±

    ¡°Kill him, avenge us!!¡±

    The garrison troopers roared out while others clenched their fists as they paid full attention to the battle. While they found it hard to believe, in their hearts, they too hoped Qin Feng would win.

    This was not the sess of an assassination, but the openly witnessed defeat of an enemy.

    At this time, the Long family Elder also gave chase.

    The two humans joined forces and the originally wounded Dragon-borne was barraged with attacks.

    ¡°Noo!¡±

    The Dragon-borne violently shoved them aside, rushing forward in a straight line. He did not n on dying just like that, maybe if he could reach the human onlookers he could kill them all or have taken them as hostages.

    All of a sudden, a silver light flickered out of nowhere and the Dragon-borne found itself trapped inside a cubic space.

    ¡°Spatial Barrier, Copse!¡±

    Bai Li pointed forward from a distance and the cube space started to crash down on itself.

    Boom!

    The side of the cube exploded as the S-tier Dragon-borne burst out, but his body was already heavily injured from earlier.

    With three people attacking him, he was exhausted!

    Whoosh!

    Then came that ghostly, auraless figure again. It was Qin Feng.

    He snatched away the Dragon-borne¡¯s body. After he flew away about twenty to thirty meters away, the body of the Dragon-borne was abruptly bisected and it fell from the air.

    Time seemed to stand still for a second, but it was immediately followed by a loud cheer from the people.

    However, these cheers were quickly drowned out by a huge vibration.

    This vibration was actually the energy shield shaking.

    ¡°Quickly, go and help!¡± The Long family Elder said. Now, he did not regard Qin Feng as just a prodigy, but as a trusted helper andrade like those in the S-tier.

    ¡°Bai Li, let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng hollered and Bai Li instantly appeared in front of him as the two quickly rushed off.

    In the blink of an eye, he caught up with another S-tier Dragon-borne.

    This was not the one that was messing with the energy shield but the weakest S-tier Dragon-borne that Wan Shichang fought earlier.

    Wan Shichang had been injured earlier but he was equally matched against this Dragon-borne. He could prevent the Dragon-borne from escaping but at the same time he could not kill it.

    When Bai Li and Qin Feng suddenly appeared, it scared the Dragon-borne, but when it realized these two people were only A-tier in terms of strength it immediately rxed, and at the same time was ignited with ferocity.

    ¡°You dare approach at that level,e, I¡¯ll fulfill your death wish!¡±

    The Dragon-borne did not recognize him. Qin Feng was the one that assassinated itsrade earlier.

    Although time had only passed by a few minutes in the outside world, Qin Feng waspletely different now!

    A-tier God-like power,bined with the assistance from the nine frozen stars, Qin Feng¡¯s strength had greatly improved.

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    The internal force of the frozen stars flickered as they spun madly and terrifying phantoms rushed toward the enemy.

    ¡°Aaah!¡± The Dragon-borne finally recognized Qin Feng¡¯s move and suddenly was at a loss.

    He wanted to turn around and escape, but now there was Bai Li, plus Wan Shichang and Qin Feng all three blocking his exits, he had nowhere to go.

    In the next moment, the other party was torn apart by the phantoms before copsing to the ground like a shredded ragdoll.

    ¡°Move it!¡±

    Qin Feng did not linger and Bai Li sped away after him.

    There were three more Dragon-borne left!

 Chapter 887 - Naming A Marshal

    <h4>Chapter 887: Naming A Marshal</h4>

    From a distance, Dragon Capital looked like an immensely huge dragon that was racing to reach the sky but all of a sudden a shocking explosion tore through the area near this dragon¡¯s ear.

    At this moment, an aura started to leak out of the originally sealed off area.

    The surrounding suburban area and colonies around Dragon Capital felt a sense of horror.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter? That¡¯s the kind of aura you¡¯d get from S-tiers fighting!¡±

    ¡°What is happening, is there something wrong with Dragon Capital?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the aura of the City Duke!¡±

    The stronger ones of the A-tier colony were all startled, even the ones who were a short distance away from the Dragon Capital¡¯s buildings had noticed the explosion.

    Boom!

    Countless amounts of tough concrete was sted apart and the energy field had beenpletely busted open. A half-human half-dragon being flew out of the hole at an extremely fast speed.

    It strode out, its immensely powerful body let out a strange hum before he sted off, slicing through the air akin to that of thunder and lightning.

    In the blink of an eye, the Dragon-borne had traversed 100 meters.

    ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡±

    There was a fierce look in Li Xiao¡¯s eyes, no longer did he maintain the visage of a gentleman. The Dragon-borne he was facing was not weak, but Li Xiao¡¯s ability was not as strong as Long Yunyi or Long Ting, and he ended up allowing this Dragon-borne to escape.

    If the Dragon-borne really were allowed to escape, it would mean that Li Xiao had not only done nothing to contribute in any way, but had allowed a cmity to ur.

    The consequences for a situation like this were far too terrifying!

    He must give chase, and kill this Dragon-borne.

    However, if an S-tier wanted to fight, the oue might result in a winner, but when an S-tier wanted to flee, there was nothing that could hold them back!

    The Dragon-borne roared in rage, his body grew bigger again, his thighs swelling to a point where they were as thick as Li Xiao¡¯s waist and each following step it took was very fast.

    ¡°Bastard, out of my way!¡±

    Li Xia also roared, three bright moons appearing above his head.

    He was already an S3-tier aptitude user, his bright moons were three timesrger than Qin Feng¡¯s frozen stars when he first formed them and had the same kind of explosive speed.

    The people in Dragon Capital stared at the two in astonishment as they were about to leave their line of sight.

    ¡°Stop him!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t let that Dragon-borne get away, the consequences would be unthinkable!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s over, there¡¯s no way to catch it. We¡¯ve provoked a terrible force. Are Huaxia¡¯s days numbered?¡±

    Some people who had thought further into the future were absolutely terrified.

    Whoosh!

    A fiery red figure jumped off from the edge of Dragon Capital and soared forward.

    It was Long Ting!

    Then, another figure followed out, it was Long Yunyi.

    Both of them had dealt with their opponents and left the remaining Dragon-borne to Wan Shichang and the Long family Elder.

    They hade out to chase after thest S-tier Dragon-borne.

    But it was moving too quickly, Li Xiao could not catch up and the others were too far behind.

    As the other people watched this scene, their attention was ced on the two figures in the front.

    In their hearts, they could only pray, Catch up! He must catch up!

    Perhaps their prayers actually worked. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of the Dragon-borne.

    No matter how fast the Dragon-borne was, it could not beat the speed of teleportation, and Qin Feng and Bai Li had already raced out.

    They had even blocked the path that the Dragon-borne was already heading toward.

    Li Xiao, who was still in the back, already knew who Qin Feng was. Although his subordinates had some grievances with this person, Li Xiao did not hold Qin Feng in any particr regard.

    When Qin Feng stopped in front of the Dragon-borne, even Li Xiao was impressed.

    ¡°Qin Feng, for the sake of the Huaxia Alliance, you have to stop him!¡± Li Xiao filled his voice with internal force to carry it forward.

    Of course, in Li Xiao¡¯s heart he knew, against the strength of this S-tier, if Qin Feng intercepted him head on it would likely spell his doom.

    But at this time, he was expected to make this sacrifice. Otherwise, if the Dragon-borne remained to open up a spatial passage it would likely spell disaster for them all.

    Qin Feng actually stood his ground!

    Everyone could see it. That this young man, while only just a prodigy, actually raised his fists.

    The Dragon-borne also saw the figure in front of him, but in the eyes of the Dragon-borne Qin Feng was not even a good barricade, at best he was a stumbling block.

    A kind of stumbling block that can be sent flying with a kick.

    With this in mind, the Dragon-borne went into a flying kick, wrapping himself in energy before pouncing forward.

    In people¡¯s minds, it was believable that the Dragon-borne would just keep going with its momentum as it kicked Qin Feng.

    The two got closer and closer!

    In the next moment, Qin Feng¡¯s fist connected with that Dragon-borne¡¯s thick foot.

    Time seemed to stop...

    Boom!!

    A huge sound sted into people¡¯s ears. The scene of battle was not what they expected, they imagined that Qin Feng would get sent flying.

    Above his head, nine frozen stars shed out and a terrifying amount of internal force flooded into his fist, no weaker than the S-tier Dragon-borne¡¯s energy, and burst forth.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body rushed backward, his legs making deep gouges in the ground.

    At the same time, the Dragon-borne¡¯s body was sent flying backward.

    And behind the Dragon-borne was Li Xiao, Long Ting and Long Yunyi!

    At this moment the aptitude users in Dragon Capital and countless family heads were looking with their mouths agape.

    Then, there was a loud roar.

    ¡°Sess?¡±

    ¡°Sess!!!¡±

    If the first voice was a question, the following uproar was the answer.

    Qin Feng seeded, he blocked it.

    This person, in one day, had created too many miracles.

    Nobody would have expected a B8-tier aptitude user to have assassinated an S-tier before getting a rank-up.

    Now that the person¡¯s level had reached A-tier, the energy he unleashed was no less than an S-tier¡¯s and even managed to take an S-tier Dragon-borne head on, striking out with a fist, and not losing.

    Four people surrounded the Dragon-borne and finally it was killed by Long Ting¡¯s spear.

    However, people¡¯s cheers, praise and excitement were all for one person now.

    ¡°Qin Feng! Nice job!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, that¡¯s definitely the number one in S-tier now!¡±

    ¡°Maybe even stronger than S-tier, how lucky we are to have a young person like that in Huaxia!¡±

    Qin Feng and Bai Li, along with Long Ting and the rest, returned triumphantly.

    Thest Dragon-borne had been defeated by the Long family Elder and Wan Shichang but nobody looked over there.

    They all looked at Qin Feng with excitement.

    When Long Ting saw such a scene, she felt moved.

    She filled her voice with internal force and called out.

    ¡°Dragon Capital was in grave danger and facing terrible consequences. With Huaxia¡¯s Northern Region¡¯s General Qin Feng¡¯s outstanding performance and great contributions, I hereby promote him to the Huaxia Alliance¡¯s Marshal as specialmendation!¡±

    After Long Ting finished speaking the crowd burst out into enthusiastic apuse. They felt like they were witnessing a flourishing age.

    Qin Feng had be the hero of the entire Dragon Capital.

    ¡°Marshal Qin!¡±

    One person called out, followed by the cheers of many.

    ¡°Congrattions, Marshal Qin!¡±

 Chapter 888 - The Meeting After Battle

    <h4>Chapter 888: The Meeting After Battle</h4>

    After the cheering ended what came next was not the song and dance of celebration, but the beginning of reconstruction after a disaster.

    Even then, people wanted to find the bodies of rtives, friends andrades among the ruins. To them, the following memorial service would be more important.

    This time, Qin Feng was a hero, and he received a great honor, but the benefits he would receive after battle would be so much more, unimaginably more.

    In a manor on the tenth level of Dragon Capital, the five S-tiers that participated in the previous battle were gathered together and there were two remaining A-tier aptitude users, it was Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Qin Feng had proven himself worthy of joining this meeting due to this strength and contributions in battle.

    ¡°Ahem, City Duke Long, whatever it is please be quick. I got hurt pretty bad and I need to go back to rest!¡± Wan Shichang said, massaging his waist.

    Of course, his gaze was greedily cast on the seven objects on the table surrounded by seven people.

    These seven objects were all slightly different, but they were gems all the same.

    These gems were roughly around the size of chicken eggs and exuded a silver light. With just a nce, everyone knew what these things were!

    Spatial stones!

    However, the size of the spatial stones Qin Feng had were iparable to something like that. These spatial stones were obviously a unique product of the Dragon-borne and from the seven Dragon-borne, only such things were found.

    Therefore, the space must be huge.

    Nobody could be certain about what was in there, but these would be given as rewards.

    Long Ting was not in a hurry to distribute them, asking Qin Feng, ¡°Why did those Dragon-borne appear at the Tower of the Dragon Gate just now?¡±

    Qin Feng hesitated. In fact, he had a good rtionship with Nan Gongshi. The incident with Nangong Feiyang was a catastrophe but if even he tried to conceal it, it would get found out eventually.

    As such, he quietly spoke about the situation with Nangong Feiyang.

    The other people present began to put on serious expressions, even the eager to leave Wan Shichang stopped looking like he was about to go.

    Seeing the looks on their faces, Qin Feng had something he had to say, ¡°When I participated in the Perished Landst year, I encountered a few prodigies of other species. That time they wanted to capture me and interrogate me for the location of the spatial waymarks, but I killed them all. I would like to know, does our realm have an Immortal! Can they protect us?¡±

    Long Ting¡¯s expression fell, she did not expect that such a thing happenedst year.

    ¡°The Immortal...¡± She had not nned on talking about this with Qin Feng, but his strength was indeed shocking and he was definitely qualified to learn such secrets!

    ¡°There¡¯s nothing as simple as the Immortal!¡± Li Xiao interrupted abruptly and narrowed his eyes as he looked toward Qin Feng. There was a slight trace of hostility appearing in his gaze.

    ¡°However, when Marshal Qin fought, I felt the presence of internal solid force. Could it be that he has obtained S-tier levels of internal force? Is that right?¡±

    Since this battle was really unexpected, Qin Feng used all of his powers. The frozen stars were not seen by everyone, not even the S-tier ancient warriors knew what pure internal solid force was actually like. It was only in these scenarios that they would feel there was something different about him.

    Qin Feng did not hide it and nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±

    When the others heard this, even though they felt like they were prepared for the answer, this was still very astonishing.

    Internal solid force was something equivalent to S-tier ancient warriors and how old was Qin Feng?

    Too young, even if he was awakened he had only been awakened for three years.

    A neen-year-old boy.

    ¡°I hope everyone will keep this matter confidential. Qin Feng is the future star of Huaxia and perhaps, the future star of this realm. I don¡¯t want to see any danger fall onto him on the road of future growth!¡± Long Ting said in a serious tone.

    ¡°It¡¯s only natural. I¡¯ve been very optimistic about our little friend Qin Feng!¡± Long Yunyi said.

    Wan Shichang chortled and said, ¡°Qin Feng I still owe you a favor. It¡¯ll be better to take you to see my vault in a few days¡¯ time, you can take whatever one thing you want!¡±

    Li Xiao narrowed his eyes but he maintained his aggression.

    He was hopeful of bing the Immortal, not only that, Dragon Capital knew about the Li family¡¯s avarice but in all respects, resources were still tilted in Li Xiao¡¯s way.

    That was so that they could cultivate the strongest in all of existence.

    Now, Qin Feng had emerged as a new force. He was worried in the future that the others would care for Qin Feng more.

    Even mercantile types like Wan Shichang were starting to care less about how he could make a profit out of this.

    One could only imagine how popr Qin Feng would be.

    Especially when everyone present at the scene now vaguely knew Qin Feng¡¯s internal solid force was not just one globe, but in fact several. It was just that they were not made clear in thest battle and Li Xiao did not want to ask about that.

    This was a secret Qin Feng would not tell and even if it was announced that he had multiple globes, what could he do? That would only spur Long Ting¡¯s favoritism even more.

    Long Ting knew it was the time to change the subject and said, ¡°Alright, other things now. We will discuss thister.¡±

    ¡°In this battle, Qin Feng and this girl, Bai Li, have put in a huge effort. He killed two S-tier Dragon-borne by himself and prevented thest Dragon-borne from escaping. This is a great feat.¡±

    ¡°Bai Li stabilized the space here, I believe that even if the Dragon-borne still have two spatial waymarks, they currently would not be able to enter the space here for the time being.¡±

    ¡°The standard spatial passage could deviate for up to a thousand kilometers. While we¡¯re not sure what their technology is like and unsure how long it would take for them to find our realm but as long as it can be dyed, then we will dy it as long as possible! So, these seven spatial pearls will be split, one for each of you!¡±

    In fact, all those present were S-tier and they naturally knew that Bai Li was actually a humanoid ultra beast. They also knew that she must have signed a contract with Qin Feng.

    So, instead of one pearl per person, in actuality Qin Feng would be getting two pearls.

    This was already the extra care and resource tilt for Qin Feng, someone with the strongest potential.

    This was the default of how the S-tier powerhouses functioned, they must have a sense of dignity and tolerance. The others had no objections.

    Qin Feng did not hesitate, he had no reason to be modest to ept something that he had fought desperately for to obtain!

    As such, he did not reject it and he would definitely not suffer for it!

    ¡°Wifey, make your choice!¡±

    The others might not know what was in the space, but Bai Li being a spatial beast would be able to discern the contents of these spatial pearls and knew which one was the most valuable.

    ¡°Then, I choose these two!¡± Bai Li raised her hand and used her consciousness to move two of the spatial pearls into her hands.

 Chapter 889 - Troubled Advancement

    <h4>Chapter 889: Troubled Advancement</h4>

    Both of the spatial pearls were definitely valuable items for Bai Li.

    Despite knowing that, all of the others would not voice their intention of having Bai Li hand over the spatial pearls.

    The remaining ones were distributed to the others and the meeting finally came to an end.

    Before leaving the ce, Long Yunyi came forward and asked quietly, ¡°Qin Feng, how many stars have you actually consolidated from your internal solid force?¡±

    Long Yunyi had only managed to get a glimpse of it and did not know the actual number of stars that Qin Feng had consolidated.

    Qin Feng assumed that Long Yunyi was trying to gauge his capability, and perhaps his internal energy was already on par with an S9-tier powerful figure. However, after seeing Li Xiao¡¯s internal energy full moon, Qin Feng was even more confused. It seemed like something was not right.

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°I have consolidated nine stars!¡±

    Long Yunyi was struck by a mixture of feelings, and eximed, ¡°I am not sure whether you should consider that as fortunate or not!¡±

    Qin Feng frowned and asked, ¡°Why would that be unfortunate for me?¡±

    From Qin Feng¡¯s view, now that he could release his internal energy and beparable against the majestic power of an S9-tier ancient warrior, why would Long Yunyi still have such doubts?

    Long Yunyi looked at Qin Feng¡¯s expression, and he could not resist his urge to ask, ¡°Could it be that you do not know about it? Li Xiao has strong abilities and understandings on neigong martial practices, he is a gifted and able person. With theplete support from the Li family, Prince Xiao is like being buoyed by the entire fortune from the family. But after all these years, he is still an S3-tier ancient warrior. The energy demand for his advancement is indeed too overwhelming. It is the same for all three of his internal energy stars, and whenpared to him, you are facing triple the difficulty!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Qin Feng looked at Long Yunyi in surprise. A moment of realization struck his mind, and he seemed to have understood something!

    ¡®No wonder when I was consolidating the stars, the internal energy stars were still absorbing internal energy from my dantian. If I were to only focus my consolidation on one internal energy star, I would definitely be an S9-tier powerful figure. But now, I am probably just an S-tier. However, I have nine frozen stars that the others do not have!¡¯

    Qin Feng reassured himself, but obviously he was not going to point out his own mistake.

    ¡°Other than an ancient warrior, I am also a dark ability user that is capable of a unique dark ability that allows me to absorb energy and advance quickly. Perhaps, my situation will be slightly better than Prince Xiao¡¯s!¡±

    Qin Feng exined the situation to Long Yunyi.

    ¡°No wonder!¡± Long Yunyi nodded in agreement. Everyone was curious to find out about the secret behind Qin Feng¡¯s shocking advancement speed. If it was replicable, it would definitely be a major advantage for anyone. It could even restructure the state of the Huaxia Alliance.

    By then, it would be an era overcrowded by hero ss, and talent ss would be regarded as dirt-cheap.

    Qin Feng had killed an S-tier in the battle, and it was no doubt that everyone would want to find out how he transformed from a B8-tier to an A-tier aptitude user.

    His secrets were meticulously released whenever appropriate, but it was impossible for the others to mimic them and achieve the same results. Hence, it would gradually discourage the others from spying on him.

    Dark ability users were indeed capable of absorbing energy from the others, but why would such people practice ancient warrior skills? And why would anyone build up their physical capabilities to be as powerful as Qin Feng?

    If Qin Feng were to expose his Asteroid Assimtion, perhaps the S-tier figures would be tempted to fight for such a powerful ancient warrior skill!

    Not that Qin Feng was afraid of them, but he did not want to cause too many deaths. Every one of his movements was like expanded butterfly wings. It might be alright for him to kill a G-tier ability user, but killing an S-tier would most probably be equivalent to causing a massive tsunami.

    Of course, Qin Feng was still aiming to take down some of those S-tiers.

    The idea shed through quickly and Qin Feng continued the conversation with Long Yunyi, their conversation was mainly about practicing ancient warrior skills.

    In the end, Long Yunyi asked the question about how Qin Feng managed to consolidate nine frozen stars.

    That was the exact moment when the line of defense to safeguard Qin Feng¡¯s secrets was stepped on.

    ¡°Not that I must find out about this, just that I am already an S-tier but I still have a lot of juniors that still have problems with consolidating internal energy. Therefore, perhaps there might be some experience that you can share!¡±

    Long Yunyi tried to sound as genuine as possible.

    Also, Long Ting had treated Qin Feng well earlier. He was allowed to make his selection on the spatial pearls, and he had epted the favour.

    ¡°I consumed arge amount of gaea crystals. Let¡¯s put it this way, I was the first one who discovered the gaea crystal mine and I made a tough decision to expand my internal energy dantian. Therefore, my internal energy foundation is much sturdier than the others. I have also obtained a Snow Jade Lotus from Master Hu San...¡±

    Qin Feng was not telling the whole truth as he described his process of advancement.

    Long Yunyi carefully listened and nodded. Regardless of whether it was the gaea crystals or the Snow Jade Lotus, those were easily obtainable by any S-tier.

    Also, they might even be very effective.

    Finally, Long Yunyi eximed, ¡°Perhaps all of these are not the main reason. Most importantly, you are both an ancient warrior and also an ability user. Hence, both your consciousness and internal energy control are extremely powerful. It has allowed you to consolidate such arge number of internal energy stars, perhaps you are just favoured by God!¡±

    ¡°Well, I can only thank God then!¡±

    It was a light cheerful conversation for both of them. When the conversation ended, Qin Feng then returned to the residence that was arranged by Long Ting.

    In other words, it would be Qin Feng¡¯s permanent residence from thereon.

    It was a manor.

    Although Qin Feng owned two major cities and controlled another four, he would certainly have his personal residence in each city. But after all, those were all located within cities. In order to amodate the needs of the major public, those residences would not take up too much surface area in their build-up size.

    But the tenth-floor residence in Dragon Capital was definitely different from the design of rowed vis. It was about the size of Qin Feng¡¯s dark hill at the Fengli colony, andpletely hidden from the sight of neighbours. Whenpared to the ce where Nangong Shi had arranged for Qin Feng, it was much better.

    The reason was because it was precisely an S-tier residence. Also, the surrounding neighbours were all S-tier figures.

    After all, Qin Feng was already a Marshal!

    Qin Feng led Bai Li to tour around their manor, only then they went back into the practice room where he took out the Godwill As.

    ¡°Master Long has given me a reminder. Perhaps, it is because of my formidable consciousness that allowed me to consolidate nine frozen stars, especially thest one!¡±

    With that in mind, Qin Feng began to practice on the Godwill As. He should definitely not give up on practicing such skills.

    Most importantly, Qin Feng was waiting for Long Ting to award him with the Marshal badge. Because of Qin Feng¡¯s shy performance, perhaps there were countless people that would want to enhance their ties with him. Qin Feng would rather focus on practising and not waste any time in socializing with any of those people.

    At the same time, Qin Feng also had his ns on something bigger!

    ¡°He Tianxing, wonder if you can still push me around now?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s eyes gleamed.

 Chapter 890 - He Tianxingâ€™s Location

    <h4>Chapter 890: He Tianxing¡¯s Location</h4>

    During night time, the main entrance of Qin Feng¡¯s manor was closed. Some that wanted to enter were even blocked outside.

    In the manor, Qin Feng wasmunicating with someone else.

    ¡°You were quick to escapest time, but you still took the mission to assassinate me. I am a little dissatisfied about it too!¡± Qin Feng had a light smile as he looked at a total stranger that had appeared on themunicator.

    However, Qin Feng had actually met with that person several times.

    It was Guan Jinhao.

    Guan Jinhao had switched to a different look while his capability rose by a little. He was also ranked higher in the assassin ranking.

    ¡°Haha, Marshal Qin, I would not dare to battle against you. With your powerful capabilities, you would just pinch me to death like an ant. Those people are like mayflies that have overrated their own capabilities!¡± Guan Jinhao frowned as he spoke, but Qin Feng still managed to pick up the hidden message. Qin Feng had only been promoted as a Marshal not too long ago, and he had carefully hidden the incident that urred within the higher management of Dragon Capital. In order to not cause chaos among the people, he had even kept the attack of the Dragon-borne as a secret from other regions.

    Qin Feng had not evenpleted the ceremony to be awarded with his Marshal badge!

    Qin Feng sneered, ¡°But you are doing well in obeying He Tianxing¡¯smand, and you followed his instructions toe!¡±

    ¡°Ah, aren¡¯t I not supposed to disobey my clients? I serve them like gods.¡±

    ¡°That right, why not talk about business?¡±

    ¡°Oh? Marshal Qin, you have just been promoted, and you are already taking good care of me!¡±

    ¡°Yes, I just need you to kill He Tianxing!¡±

    ¡°Pfft, ahem ahem ahem ahem...¡± Guan Jinhao was almost choked by his own saliva. He did not dare to take on the offer from Qin Feng. ¡°Marshal Qin, it¡¯s my fault, truly my fault! Why not offer something more realistic and I¡¯ll rmend someone else to you. I can assure you of a fair price and quality goods!¡±

    A dead man would always escape death, and indeed, Guan Jinhao began to sell off the others. It was like driving a light carriage on a familiar road, he had caused too many deaths for others that were in the same pursuit.

    Hence, he would always be the one who survived and ranked higher on the assassin ranking.

    Qin Feng was certainly pulling his legs, but he acted like he really meant it about the deal and asked in a cold voice, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t that allow you to sit back and enjoy the harvest, I want you to express your standpoint. Why not, you take charge in tracking down He Tianxing and report back, and I will hire another assassin by myself.¡±

    Guan Jinhao hesitated as his eyes darted about. Actually, it was a strenuous and unrewarding task to track down He Tianxing. If He Tianxing were to realize it, it would immediately signal to the S-tier that someone else was aiming at him.

    Guan Jinhao assumed that Qin Feng purposely wanted him to pursue the investigation. If Guan Jinhao were to offend He Tianxing, he would definitely be in trouble and Qin Feng would be delighted to witness that!

    But tracking down someone¡¯s traces was as simple as pie for Guan Jinhao.

    If he was unable to handle such a task, how could he still qualify as a top-tier assassin?!

    ¡°No problem, just leave it to me Marshal Qin!¡± Guan Jinhao reassured while tapping on his chest. To him, it was not a difficult task at all.

    Qin Feng certainly believed in Guan Jinhao. Otherwise, he would not have found Guan Jinhao and entrusted him with such a task.

    However, Guan Jinhao would never believe that Qin Feng was looking for an assassin. He was actually nning to kill He Tianxing by himself!

    Although the other S-tiers already knew about Qin Feng¡¯s S-tier internal energy capability, the others were still assuming that he was just an A-tier, and being the most powerful Hero ss would not necessarily guarantee he would have the same S-tier capabilities.

    Guan Jinhao was swift in his actions. As he was worried that Qin Feng might put him into a hostile position, he had then tipped Qin Feng off with news of He Tianxing.

    He Tianxing would be in the Blood River Realm, but only for the next few days. He would return to the Dark Citadel and even carry out a deal at the border territory of Huaxia.

    The big shot trading with He Tianxing was not weak at all, a top-tier member from the Dark Coalition of a small-sized Human Alliance. Also, an S-tier that was known as Voodoo Lord.

    Both of them had been trading with each other for a long time. Subordinates sent from the Voodoo Lord had killed countless people from the Human Alliance and looted huge stockpiles of resources. The Human Alliance that Voodoo Lord had originated from was too small and did not have many aptitude users that would consume such products. Hence, products that were auctioned from the auction house were sold back to He Tianxing.

    Initially, the trades were handled by subordinates from both sides. However, He Tianxing had offended the Long family in the Blood River Realm, and he was also injured from the conflict. The Voodoo Lord immediately took advantage of it and held back on the product delivery to He Tianxing. Even the asking price was raised to an unfounded level.

    If the trade were to be done at the initial price, He Tianxing would definitely want to meet up to bargain. The Voodoo Lord might even use it as an opportunity to sneak an attack toward He Tianxing to take out another viin.

    Regardless of the potential oue, He Tianxing would have to be there by himself and even release his explosive energy to threaten the Voodoo Lord. Otherwise, not only would He Tianxing lose his trading partner, he might even lose his own assets. If the other aptitude users were to view him as a frail target and gang up on him, it would only take one bite from each of them to chew off every bit from He Tianxing.

    ¡°The Ghaza Border? Hmph, He Tianxing, even God wants you dead!¡±

    The nearest major colony located near the border was Fiery Cage City, also essible by spatial waymark from the centre of the city for immediate backup. Unlike the other cities, dedicated spatial waymark shops were readily avable in Dragon Capital. Qin Feng would only have to purchase one from any of them. If he were concerned about safety, Bai Li could first take a look at the location of the waymark and it would be immediately reachable upon activating it.

    But there were only three days left, and Qin Feng definitely needed a full preparation.

    First, both spatial pearls obtained by Bai Li were required.

    ¡°How could it be filled with gems?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s jaw dropped as he looked into the storage of the spatial pearls.

    Within both of the spatial pearls, there were not as many gems as Qin Feng had mentioned. But the amount was not bad at all, even better with some collections of precious god weapons.

    ¡°This looks beautiful to me!¡±

    The edge of his lips twitched as Qin Feng looked at Bai Li who was excited in picking and cutting the gems.

    Bai Li rolled her eyes when she saw Qin Feng¡¯s expression. ¡°These were found from the spatial backpacks of other Dragon-borne, perhaps these are their premium currencies, and there are also some energy cubes. But, these two that I have chosen are definitely useful!¡±

    Bai Li hauled out a cape and passed it over to Qin Feng.

    Surprisingly, it was a luxurious looking cape, embedded with dark gems. When looked closely, those were cores transformed from dark runes, coloured in ck to showcase theirvish features in a subdued manner.

    Undoubtedly, the dark gem cape was definitely better than the one that Guan Jinhao had used to activate Phantom Shift.

    ¡°With this cape, my level of confidence in assassinating He Tianxing has grown to another level!¡± Qin Feng reassured himself in silence. It was definitely a treasure.

 Chapter 891 - Birth of S-tier God Weapon

    <h4>Chapter 891: Birth of S-tier God Weapon</h4>

    [Secure today¡¯s midnight topensate for yesterday¡¯s]

    ¡°Another one!¡± Bai Li took out more items. Aside from the huge bunch of S-tier materials, there was even an S-tier beast deity core.

    Unless there was an ultra beast that died naturally at the realm where Qin Feng was at, or someone had taken advantage of the battle between two S-tier beast deities, nobody would be able to get their hands on such an item.

    Qin Feng did not hesitate and immediately took out the Magical Tesseract and ced his Verdant Emperor Saber into it.

    The S-tier beast deity core and all sorts of rare materials were dumped in like worthless items. The Verdant Emperor Saber was calcined, and impurities were scalped off again for another sessful advancement.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber might not be the most powerful god weapon, but it was definitely the most stable among all.

    Despite constant advancement having scalped off impurities from the Verdant Emperor Saber, fundamental properties of matter were still retained.

    Since G-tier, its continuous advancements up to S-tier beast deity were all fuelled by top-tier materials.

    Now that the Verdant Emperor Saber had experienced another advancement, its formidable power had spiked by more than tenfold.

    Vroom!

    Verdant Emperor Saber was drawn out from the Magical Tesseract. The saber was no longer lit up by its modernized rune weaponry glow, but it was enhanced by a sense of unique appeal.

    Furthermore, along with the appearance of the Verdant Emperor Saber, the space around Qin Feng began to vibrate. Followed by the emergence of several spatial rifts.

    Crack!

    ¡°Is this? God weapon cmity?¡±

    Qin Feng recognized the unique scene, but actually, he had only heard of it from myths. ording to it, some god weaponry craftsmen that had crafted S-tier god weapons would then cause thunderous gale, rainy snow, and other unusual phenomena.

    Obviously, the Verdant Emperor Saber had met with the same situation.

    However, the other god weapons that emerged from it would not recognize their owners. But now, the Verdant Emperor Saber was still connected with Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness. It thennded into Qin Feng¡¯s hand with just a wave.

    In the next moment, thunder from surrounding rifts reappeared and struck on Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber on hand.

    Now that Qin Feng was holding onto his saber, he was certainly not struck by it.

    Aimed at the iing thunder, Qin Feng returned with a swift attack and the thunder was instantly shattered.

    Disseminated thunder split into tiny arcs that merged into the Verdant Emperor Saber. It was no longer destructive energy, but energy that enhanced its restructuring.

    Baptised by thunder, the formidable power of Verdant Emperor Saber had spiked again. Even a light flick would destroy the surrounding space.

    Qin Feng withdrew his Verdant Emperor Saber back into its scabbard.

    Wrah!

    The scabbard instantly shattered, it could no longer withstand the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Seems like another trip to the Fettering Land is requiredter to hunt down some powerful beasts, else, there would be no scabbard to hold this!¡±

    Qin Feng took out fur skin from the Plow Worm Emperor, and added on all sorts of premium material to craft out a new scabbard.

    But when the saber was reinserted back to the scabbard, another crack was formed. With such progression, perhaps it could onlyst for the next three days.

    But three days was already enough.

    ***

    Nightfall under the misty grey sky, and it was already midnight. Qin Feng put down the chip on hand, the one that had some assassination battle skills. Every of those were at least A-tier skills, and the most powerful one was the S-tier boosted qinggong skill.

    Different from the hallucinating Phantom Shift, the S-tier boosted qinggong skill was the ultimate formidable skill. During usage, movements would achieve time-freezing speed and were totally different from teleportation when being viewed from the naked eye.

    ¡°Rampage influx!¡±

    Energy flow within Qin Feng¡¯s body was reced entirely by internal energy, the instant speed up in movement was like a robotic figure.

    From the initial standing spot, Qin Feng had travelled to beyond a hundred meters away. Even his shadows still remained at the initial spot, like he was present at both spots.

    Swoosh!

    Qin Feng stood firmly on the ground. Even with his physical capability, he also felt the sore and numbness from the pumped-up muscles. One could easily imagine how physically demanding the qinggong skill was.

    The qinggong skill could only be practiced by an S-tier ancient warrior.

    Along with the gradual improvements on Qin Feng¡¯s physical capabilities, it then became easier.

    ¡°Ready to go now!¡± Qin Feng exited from the practice room. Bai Li saw his appearance and instantly jumped up from the couch with her glowing pupils.

    ¡°Are you ready? Let¡¯s go now, this time I will rain down chaos on He Tianxing.¡±

    He Tianxing had attempted to assassinate Qin Feng twice. Being a little fox that would always hold its hatred toward the enemy, Bai Li wished she could tear him apart. It was the day that she had waited for a long time.

    ¡°Leave it to me this time, you shall remain hidden. Just I, alone, would be enough!¡± Qin Feng caressed Bai Li¡¯s head.

    After advancing to A-tier, Bai Li no longer demanded only beast emperor tier cores, but also beast deity tier ones.

    Perhaps, the presence of an A-tier beast deity was extremely rare in the entire realm.

    It had caused the stagnation of Bai Li¡¯s advancement, she would definitely lose if she were to face He Tianxing.

    Bai Li was a little unwilling, but still nodded. ¡°Alright, I have faith in you! Our connected soul energy tells me that you have full confidence in yourself now!¡±

    ¡°I will never pursue anything with doubt!¡±

    Bai Li knew that very well.

    Indeed, Qin Feng always exceeded the requirement for those tasks that he had taken up.

    It was because of information gathered from others and his own experience before his rebirth that allowed him to know exactly what would happen.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Bai Li had already noted down the spatial waymark of Fiery Cage City; a spatial passage was then opened for Bai Li and Qin Feng to enter.

    Under the night sky of Fiery Cage City, a passage was opened at the spatial waymark in the region. Followed by a dash of silver lightning that quickly disappeared.

    Guards stationed at the central location were alerted.

    ¡°Did someone juste here?¡±

    ¡°No, something is wrong with your eyesight!¡± The other stationing guard looked toward the surrounding square that was brightly lit, nobody else was there.

    ¡°Ah, it must be my mistake.¡±

    Fiery Cage City was just a bordered city at Huaxia, and the most capable aptitude user was only C-tier. Surrounded by wilderness, the environment was fairly safe from any threats, nor was it located at the frontlines.

    However, a small-sized desert was located in the west. A deprivednd that nobody would care about.

    Who knew that the desert would wee such a powerful guest today!

    Bai Li space-teleported and quickly left Fiery Cage City, and went toward the Ghaza Border. It was exactly the deserted desert that nobody would care about.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng released his senses and he was stunned by the overwhelming findings that he obtained.

    ¡°A nine-hundred-kilometre range!¡±

    Qin Feng was located at a star, and the longest circumference was just forty thousand kilometres while the Northern Region only had a diameter of less than a thousand kilometres.

    Surprisingly, senses released by Qin Feng could expand to such great coverage.

    ¡°Is this the power of an S-tier? So, this is how the Eye Devil managed tounch such a long-ranged attack toward me back then!¡±

    ¡°No, perhaps it is also rted to our internal energy stars. Ordinary S-tiers would most probably only be able to reach an area of a hundred kilometres!¡±

 Chapter 892 - The Stealthy Assassin

    <h4>Chapter 892: The Stealthy Assassin</h4>

    Qin Feng began to limit his presence to a smaller radius. This would make the control of the concealment much easier and make his consciousness function more precisely. When he was doing this, others who had weaker consciousness than him would never be able to locate him unless he purposely let them. This method was, in many ways, simr to how the Eye Devil locked onto Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng, with his consciousness heightened due to his presence being reined in, was able to locate He Tianxing in a matter of seconds.

    Under the vision of his heightened consciousness, Qin Feng saw that He Tianxing looked like a massive, raging me¡ªone that burned much brighter than the others around him. Other than this big me, there was also another equally powerful presence next to him too.

    ¡°So, that must be the Voodoo Lord!¡±

    Although Qin Feng had already determined these two S-tiers¡¯ locations, both of them had not noticed his presence yet. After all, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness right now was much more powerful and potent than theirs.

    ¡°So, He Tianxing¡¯s only an S2-tier ancient warrior? Hmm... that Voodoo Lord seems to be a little weaker than him though... about S1-tier... he¡¯s an S1-tier ability user.¡±

    After a brief analysis, Qin Feng was able to determine their strength. Unlike the first impression where he felt that these two S-tiers were invisible and unbreakable, they were now creatures that he could assassinate.

    ¡°This way!¡±

    Qin Feng pointed in a direction before Bai Li teleported both of them away. After a few blinks of teleportation, Qin Feng was now about ten kilometers away from He Tianxing.

    They were really close to his target now.

    ¡°Stand by in your pocket dimension. I¡¯lle find you after I¡¯ve dealt with He Tianxing.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    After replying giddily, Bai Li¡¯s body began to turn invisible before blinking into her own pocket dimension.

    Qin Feng¡¯s presence, on the other hand, began to fade to almost nothing. It felt as though he was never there at all. Under the cloak of the dark runes, one would think that this was just a shade of shadows in the dark.

    Qin Feng began to move closer to his target again.

    Qin Feng¡¯s physical prowess right now was able to easily ovee the supposedly great distance of ten kilometers. To him, this was just a-dozen-second away.

    Meanwhile, He Tianxing had rendezvoused with the Voodoo Lord.

    They were meeting at a small ravine. It was a rather secluded location, a ravine that was about a hundred meters wide and twenty meters deep. If one had not entered the canyon and looked carefully, they would not be able to see them.

    Both of the S-tiers had their men stand guard at various areas of the canyon¡ªits entrances and the top of the hills.

    Still, these guards were just A-tiers. So, Qin Feng was still able to get past them with a little effort. In fact, he was able to see Fire Phoenix at one of the canyon entrances.

    Qin Feng could easily kill Fire Phoenix right now if he wanted to. However, he did not want to invite unnecessary attention to himself at the moment.

    Hence, without causing much suspicion from these A-tiers, Qin Feng zipped through them and toward his targets.

    Meanwhile, He Tianxing and the Voodoo Lord were using fallen trees as a coffee table and seats¡ªthey were having afortable tea time. Well, only the Voodoo Lord was the one who was drinking tea; He Tianxing had not touched his cup at all.

    The Voodoo Lord was known to be a master of poison. It would be too easy and amateurish for him to poison a cup of tea¡ªsomething not someone of his reputation would do. Still, He Tianxing was still not letting his guard down. This was why he had never drank the Voodoo Lord¡¯s tea every time they met.

    ¡°Hey, man. I heard your Sky Demon Sword was stolen by a little brat. And now it has be Long Yue¡¯s property. Is that true? Tch tch! This little kid is so gutsy!¡± The Voodoo Lord smirked.

    He Tianxing¡¯s attempt at killing Qin Feng in the Blood River Realm was already a well-known fact in the world. The Voodoo Lord was not just He Tianxing¡¯s business partner but also his rival; so, naturally he had some spies nted amongst He Tianxing¡¯s underlings. Of course, He Tianxing had also done the same.

    This was how the Voodoo Lord would know about the news.

    He Tianxing, upon hearing the Voodoo Lord¡¯s teasing, soured up a grim face. ¡°It¡¯s just a sword.¡±

    ¡°Hey, but your reputation and moniker were built upon that sword!¡±

    ¡°Voodoo Lord¡±, ¡°Eye Devil¡± and ¡°He Tianxing¡± were all monikers. Those were not their real names¡ªthese names were given to them by the public who feared the skills they were known for.

    He Tianxing was known to be a sword demon. Hence, his moniker was attached to the ancient legend of a swordsman and killer.

    He was someone as fearsome and infamous as the Voodoo Lord himself. And yet, this man was mocking him right now. He Tianxing could not help but be enraged by his words.

    ¡°So what? Perhaps you want to spar a few rounds with me? You¡¯ll see if I¡¯m really nothing without my sword.¡± He Tianxing replied.

    ¡°Oh, perhaps I might take you up on that invitation.¡± The Voodoo Lord smirked.

    ¡°Watch your mouth, Voodoo Lord! You don¡¯t want me as your enemy!¡±

    He Tianxing red his fiery eyes at his business partner¡ªhe was getting more and more furious with this man now.

    Seeing He Tianxing like this, the Voodoo Lord cackled inughter before replying, ¡°Hahaha! My friend, you know I¡¯m only joking around. I would never fight you!¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± He Tianxing still sounded unsatisfied with the Voodoo Lord¡¯s attitude.

    ¡°However, we might want to review our contract now. In recent years, there has been some turbulence in the market and economy on our side. It¡¯s not easy to do business anymore, you know? So, would it be alright if I take 10% of the earnings on your end?¡±

    ¡°One-tenth?! In your dreams!¡±

    ¡°Hey,e on. How about 9%?¡±

    ¡°No. I might consider it if it¡¯s 1% though!¡±

    After a little bit of tense negotiation, He Tianxing finally agreed on giving up on 3% of his earnings to the Voodoo Lord. This seemed to be not much but it was still quite a considerable sum of earnings.

    On the other hand, Qin Feng was lurking in the shadows, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

    It was then the Voodoo Lord flung his hand; a fling of dark beam was shot straight at He Tianxing.

    This beam was actually a shot of dark green poison.

    He Tianxing was rxed after finally reaching an agreement with the Voodoo Lord. He did not think the Voodoo Lord would suddenly attack him.

    Still, He Tianxing was still an S-tier. Hisbat prowess was nothing to be scoffed at. Thus, he was able to react in the split second and activate his internal energy shield, blocking the poison.

    ¡°Voodoo Lord! What are you doing?!¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha! He Tianxing! Stop pretending. If it were in the old days, you would never have forfeited any of your earnings and shared them with me! So... perhaps it¡¯s time to end our partnership. And I¡¯ll be taking over your ck Ind. Now, do rest in peace, my friend.¡±

    As soon as he finished his words, the Voodoo Lord shot out his dark green poison at He Tianxing again.

    He Tianxing, while blocking the poison, unsheathed his saber and attacked the Voodoo Lord.

    Qin Feng did not think things would turn out like this. Regardless, he remained still and quiet, not letting these two find out his presence.

    Qin Feng was able to observe that the Voodoo Lord did not disy much murderous intent¡ªit seemed that his intention was not really to kill He Tianxing but rather get more profits for his trade.

    Of course, He Tianxing could also see this. As such, he clenched his teeth and asked, ¡°Enough! Just how much dough do you want?!¡±

    ¡°Well... I want...¡±

    When the Voodoo Lord was about to open his mouth and ask for the 10% again, a silhouette zoomed down from the cliff above them!

 Chapter 893 - The Black Alp Overlord

    <h4>Chapter 893: The ck Alp Overlord</h4>

    Voodoo Lord was so shocked.

    How could they not notice someone like this when he had gotten this close to them?!

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, did not have his attention on Voodoo Lord. His attention was on He Tianxing, who was focusing on negotiating with Voodoo Lord. By giving Voodoo Lord his full attention, He Tianxing had left himself wide open for an attack.

    With the Dark Armor protecting him, there was no weakness underneath Qin Feng¡¯s ck robe.

    In an instant, Qin Feng leaped into the air.

    ¡°Rampage influx!¡±

    Having activated his internal energy, Qin Feng quickly leapt into the air using his newly learned qingong.

    Like Voodoo Lord, He Tianxing finally noticed Qin Feng.

    However, in the next second, Voodoo Lord¡¯s eyes shrunk in shock when he saw Qin Feng appear behind He Tianxing. What made this entire experience even weirder was that Voodoo Lord was not able to detect and sense his presence at all even after seeing his appearance before him.

    He Tianxing, of course, also could not sense his presence either.

    Qin Feng was moving too fast!

    Then, Qin Feng unsheathed and pulled his Verdant Emperor Saber from his ck robe. He Tianxing, in the split second, sensed the terrifying vibration that was ringing from the saber and turned around.

    However, as soon as he turned his body, he could feel his internal energy shield crack before everything before him spun wildly. The ground was above his head and then the sky rolled back up¡ªit went on for a few seconds before it finally stopped.

    And he saw it. A headless body standing before him. A body that seemed peculiarly familiar to him.

    Then, he realized that this ¡°headless body¡± was actually his before his consciousness gradually faded to nothingness.

    Psshh!!!

    A gush of overflowing internal energy raged out of He Tianxing¡¯s headless body¡¯s neck. Then, a star flew out of the corpse and into the air!

    This was the first time Qin Feng witnessed the death of an S-tier ancient warrior. The Dragon-borne¡¯s death was different and he was no S-tier. This was why he was rather surprised when he saw the internal energy star fly out of He Tianxing¡¯s body.

    However, it did not take long for him to recollect himself from the surprise.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    The internal energy star was then absorbed into his body as Asteroid Assimtion did its job.

    As the internal energy star dropped into Qin Feng¡¯s dantian, it was crushed into pieces and merged with his starglobe. Still, as the newly acquired internal energy was not entirely cultivated into Qin Feng¡¯s, the color and aura that they emitted felt quite different and ipatible with everything around them¡ªlike an oil spill on pure, white snow.

    Regardless, Qin Feng did not feel the usual berserk, uncontroble quake like how it was in the past anymore whenever he activated his Asteroid Assimtion.

    Of course, he did not try to properly digest the newly acquired internal energy either¡ªhe did not have the time because there was still another enemy in front of him.

    Yes, Voodoo Lord was still present and not dealt with!

    However, Voodoo Lord was basically mentally incapacitated by what he had witnessed. To him, killing an S-tier was nothing to bat an eye for. However, the ability to absorb an S-tier¡¯s internal energy star the moment he killed him to raise his power? This was too unthinkable and evil even at his paygrade.

    It was then, the guards that were stationed at the canyon¡¯s entrances came rushing to the scene.

    Fire Phoenix had arrived with her men too. She was shocked and tongue-tied when she saw He Tianxing¡¯s corpse on the ground.

    Right now, the ck-robed Qin Feng was unleashing an overwhelmingly terrifying presence in front of these criminals. This presence was so powerful and overpowering that everyone, including Fire Phoenix, felt as though they were being strangled by it.

    ¡®Could this be an assassin under Voodoo Lord¡¯s employment? No...! He had an assassin murder our master?! What should we do now? Can we still live and return home?¡¯ Fire Phoenix thought to herself.

    She was so terrified and stunned. She knew there was no way for her to escape¡ªQin Feng¡¯s presence was as powerful as an S-tier right now, so intimidating that she could not imagine she could escape him.

    Of course, if an S-tier wanted to kill them, there was no way for any of them to escape with their lives.

    However, Qin Feng had a different idea.

    He turned and looked at Voodoo Lord. ¡°From today onward, the Dark Citadel belongs to me. And you were right earlier, Voodoo Lord. It¡¯s a difficult time to do business nowadays. Perhaps you would like to forfeit 10% of your earnings and delegate them to me?¡±

    Voodoo Lord¡¯s wrinkled face twitched when he heard that.

    These were his exact words a few moments ago. And now, it was used against him. He wanted to p his own mouth so badly right now!

    Voodoo Lord realized that this ck-robed man was here to kill He Tianxing and if it were not for him fighting with He Tianxing earlier, this man would not be able toy a finger on He Tianxing at all.

    Besides, if this man could kill He Tianxing so easily... perhaps it would be equally easy for this man to kill him too!

    Right now, Voodoo Lord thought that his life was in Qin Feng¡¯s mercy!

    ¡°Certainly! Now, may I know your name, Sir? You see, it¡¯s easier for us to work together if I know who you are, right?¡± Voodoo Lord asked.

    Qin Feng knew Voodoo Lord was trying to find out his real identity. There was no way he would tell him who he was. As such, Qin Feng answered, ¡°I¡¯m actually new in town. Just call me ¡®ck Alp Overlord¡¯.¡±

    Qin Feng originally wanted to mix his and Bai Li¡¯s name and call it ¡°White Alp Overlord¡±. However, he did not want to invite trouble to her and the Fengli Organization. Thus, he changed it to ¡°ck Alp Overlord¡±.

    (Trantor note: in Chinese, the ¡°Feng¡± in Qin Feng¡¯s name means ¡°mountain peak¡± or ¡°alp¡±. Bai Li¡¯s ¡°Bai¡± means ¡°white¡±. The Chinese version of ¡°ck Alp Overlord¡± was ¡°Xuanfeng Mojun¡± (Ðþ·åÄ§×ð). And ¡°xuan¡± means ¡°ck¡±. Personally, I feel that this is actually Qin Feng¡¯s first proper brain work when it was time toe up with a name other than ¡°Fengli¡±.)

    Voodoo Lord frowned upon hearing what Qin Feng said.

    ¡®New in town? He¡¯s a newly ascended S-tier and yet I¡¯ve never heard of him? Could he be from a family that¡¯s as powerful as the Longs? Still, this guy calls himself an ¡®overlord¡¯. So, he should be on the Dark Coalition¡¯s side. Jeez, the Huaxia region is such an impressive ce. All these powerful families keep popping out! Perhaps it¡¯s a wise move to forfeit the Dark Citadel to him.¡¯

    Having made up his mind, Voodoo Lord bit his lips and answered, ¡°Okay. As you wish, ck Alp Overlord.¡±

    ¡°May we have a longsting, happy partnership!¡±

    ¡°... yes, may we have one indeed.¡± Voodoo Lord answered hesitantly, ¡°I¡¯ll send my underlings to you a few dayster with the contract. If you would excuse me, I¡¯ll have to go now. I have some other... pressing matters to deal with.¡±

    ¡°Sure. Please doe again!¡±

    Voodoo Lord red at Qin Feng¡¯s face. However, Qin Feng was wearing a mask so there was no way to see his actual face at all. It was a huge contrast between Qin Feng¡¯s emotionless mask and Voodoo Lord¡¯s bitter face.

    Screw this partnership. Please doe again? Voodoo Lord was not going to visit this ce ever again!

    After seeing Voodoo Lord and his men away, Qin Feng turned and faced Fire Phoenix and her underlings.

    ¡°Now, all of you! Bow before me and call me your master! Or else... Hehe! Well, I suppose your previous master is going to appreciate yourpany in hell.¡±

    Fire Phoenix¡¯s body trembled upon hearing what he said; her underlings were shaking in fear.

    Finally, they kneeled and vowed, ¡°Master, we swear our allegiance to you!¡±

    It was the only logical, rational choice for them.

    This ¡°ck Alp Overlord¡± was much more powerful than He Tianxing.

    Other than pledging their allegiance to him, what other choice did they have?

    Of course, Fire Phoenix did the same too.

    ¡°My name is Fire Phoenix. I swear my allegiance to you, My Lord.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Good! Now you! Yes, you! From today onward, you¡¯ll be the vice casten of the Dark Citadel. Just keep on doing what the previous management is doing. There¡¯s no need to change anything.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±

    Fire Phoenix was overjoyed when she heard this. She was a capable leader but she was not given full power over the Dark Citadel back then. Now, she not only had her life spared but also received full power over the Dark Citadel! As such, this was all good news for Phoenix!

 Chapter 894 - A-tier Marshal

    <h4>Chapter 894: A-tier Marshal</h4>

    They were too shaken by Qin Feng¡¯s power. Even Voodoo Lord had left in fear, there was no way for them to work up the courage to try to poke into Qin Feng¡¯s true identity.

    Qin Feng raised a finger and took away a ring from He Tianxing using his consciousness. After acquiring what he wanted, Qin Feng took a huge leap and vanished into thin air.

    Fire Phoenix did not notice that Qin Feng was already gone. After kneeling for five whopping minutes, she finally realized something was off. She then raised her head and saw that Qin Feng had already left. All that was left in front of her was He Tianxing¡¯s lifeless body.

    ¡°This... This ck Alp Overlord is too powerful. When he left, I did not sense his departure at all. He is a really terrifying man indeed!¡±

    Upon hearing Fire Phoenix¡¯s words, the others could not help but feel astounded.

    ¡°Then... Fire Phoenix... what do we do now?¡±

    ¡°Yeah! Do we do as he said?¡±

    Phoenix too was feeling conflicted about this. Thankfully, He Tianxing was feeling extra cautious this time when he wanted to deal with Voodoo Lord. As such, he had brought seven A-tiers with him¡ªwhich was one-third of the powerful users from the Dark Citadel. With this many A-tiers with her, they should be enough to be her witness.

    ¡°Of course. We¡¯ll do as he said and business will run as usual. We should also aim to make profits too. Or else... ck Alp Overlord mighte back and im our lives. When we head backter, it might be better for us to keep this all a secret... let¡¯s not tell the world and the others that He Tianxing is dead. We¡¯ll wait until ck Alp Overlord wants to reveal himself to the world; then, we¡¯ll tell everyone!¡±

    ¡°Good n!¡±

    ¡°We¡¯ll follow your lead then, woman!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! I suppose this is the best way to handle this!¡±

    After agreeing to the n, everyone took a nce at He Tianxing¡¯s corpse.

    After taking a short ponder, Phoenix decided to cremate He Tianxing body and bury his ashes in the ground. Luckily, Qin Feng only took a ring from He Tianxing¡¯s body¡ªhe did not take all the spatial rune equipment that he had on him. As such, Fire Phoenix took them down and divided them among her colleagues. After receiving the loot, these men would most likely lean more toward her from now on when there was any decision-making in the Dark Citadel.

    ¡°ck Alp Overlord must be someone who¡¯s extremely wealthy! All he took was just a ring. There are so many more treasures on He Tianxing but he did not touch them at all!¡±

    As Fire Phoenix and her men werementing about the mysteries around ¡°ck Alp Overlord¡±, Qin Feng was standing on a cliff about ten thousand meters away from them, carefully looking at the ring that he took from He Tianxing¡¯s corpse.

    The ring was in fact a spatial rune equipment, which held a lot more treasures in it.

    ¡°Huh, he is indeed the master of the Dark Citadel! He¡¯s got so many goodies in here!¡±

    He Tianxing¡¯s collection was about on par with the Dragon-borne¡¯s. However, Dragon-borne tended to collect any shiny stones or gems¡ªthis meant that many of their collections were mostly impractical in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes. Thus, he gave most of the Dragon-borne¡¯s treasures to Bai Li.

    However, He Tianxing¡¯s spatial rune equipment had a lot of stuff that Qin Feng found quite useful. Not only that, Qin Feng could feel that he had grown even stronger from assassinating He Tianxing.

    ¡®If I can take on an S-tier now, that means that I might as well visit that realm when I have the time.¡¯ Qin Feng thought to himself.

    After this, Qin Feng quickly headed back to Dragon Capital. No one, not even Long Ting, knew about He Tianxing¡¯s demise that night. No one knew that the leader of the biggest organization in the Huaxia region¡¯s Dark Coalition had died!

    The next day, Qin Feng was summoned to receive his badge. In fact, other than Qin Feng, the people who helped in arranging the retreat and the fighters who held off the enemies until thest minute had all received a badge to their names.

    Of course, Qin Feng was the one who received the highest honor¡ªa badge of honor that granted him the title of a Marshal. The badge was delicately decorated; there was a letter ¡°A¡± grafted on it. Even though it was not an ¡°S¡±, it would not take much time before Qin Feng received one¡ªwhen he really ascended to S-tier.

    Of course, this was the first time the Huaxia Alliance had an A-tier marshal.

    To be honest, Qin Feng¡¯s status was now much higher than Shang Han¡¯s.

    Still, Shang Han was no subordinate to Qin Feng because both of them belonged to entirely different chains ofmand. What made this ¡°marshal¡± title even more unique was that it brought Qin Feng a great deal of wealth and privileges but minimal amount of clear-cut responsibilities.

    Long Ting had only one task for Qin Feng.

    ¡°I believe you can take on an A-tier beast deity now. Take this¡ªit¡¯s the list that details every A-tier beast deity in the Huaxia region. I want you to eliminate one beast deity every year. Just one will do!¡± Long Ting sent a list to Qin Feng via hermunicator.

    Qin Feng did not reject the task. He could benefit from it a lot. More importantly, Bai Li needed more crystal cores to keep on ascending; this meant that Qin Feng would eventually need to hunt down these ultra beasts too.

    ¡°Good.¡±

    Long Ting nodded at Qin Feng. She was quite surprised to see how much Qin Feng had grown in such a short time. She was now certain that she made the right call to visit Fengli back then.

    ¡°Perhaps one day you¡¯ll be an Immortal. No one is able to get close to the level of Immortal. I hope that you¡¯ll rise to be one in the near future. If you need anything, please do let the Alliance know.¡± Long Ting said.

    ¡°I will.¡±

    After a few exchanges of words, they both hung up. Qin Feng then brought the Northern Region¡¯s prodigies onto an aircraft.

    Despite how chaotic the attack was, most people in Dragon Capital thought that it was just a massive attackunched by the ultra beasts. After all, even the S-tiers hade out and fought.

    ¡°Hey, Qin Feng! You participated in that defense too? What badge is that? I¡¯ve not seen it before!¡± Zhou Hao and Lu Meng approached Qin Feng when they saw his badge.

    Qin Feng smiled warmly. ¡°This is a Marshall Badge. I suppose it¡¯s the same rank as Long Yue¡¯s.¡±

    Zhou Hao and the others¡¯ jaws were rolling on the ground upon hearing this.

    Still, it was not too difficult for them to believe it too. After all, Qin Feng was indeed really powerful. It was not unthinkable for him to receive a badge of honor like that.

    Then, Zhou Hao and the others started to discuss the technology that they had acquired from the Perished Lands. Although they did not know what these technologies would do for them, they were reassured that they would receive 5% of the earnings from these technologies.

    ¡°Wow! If I find a weapon there, wouldn¡¯t that make me a billionaire?!¡±

    ¡°Ha! I¡¯ll tell you what! I¡¯ve found an airship this time!¡±

    ¡°So what? It¡¯s difficult to find a buyer who would buy an airship. I¡¯d say that you¡¯d earn more if you find just amunicator.¡±

    The young users happily and joyfully discussed their findings, unaware just what kind of cmity that had befallen on them earlier.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, had begun to rx. He felt as though thousands and thousands of tons of weight had been lifted off of his shoulders.

    ¡°Heh, young people! Well, it¡¯s alright. The less you know, the less your worry!¡± Qin Feng smiled as he looked at the robo-dog.

    The biggest winner in this expedition was Qin Feng himself!

    He did not only acquire the Dark Armor but also all the technology that came with the robo-dog. These discoveries would surely rock the world.

 Chapter 895 - The Arrival of S-tier Extraterrestrial

    <h4>Chapter 895: The Arrival of S-tier Extraterrestrial</h4>

    Qin Feng returned to Fengli with the robo-dog. He summoned Chu Fan back from the Blood River Realm and handed the robot to him.

    As for the nine sacred armors he gained from the expedition, Qin Feng distributed them to those subordinates closest to him.

    Xue Xingfu, Liu Zhenshan, Lin Derong, and Chu Fan were all benefited.

    These four officers were ultra-essential to Fengli now. Someone like Xue Xingfu was too weak abatant but very important as the main capitalist for the organization. Liu Zhenshan, who now took charge of all the manufacturing departments, was equally vital to Fengli too.

    Lin Derong was the dean of Qin Feng¡¯s orphanage. The old man was like a grandfather to Qin Feng. He would not allow anything to happen to his beloved senior.

    Chu Fan was more of a researcher than a fighter. Besides, he had also lost the Devourer. The sacred armor would serve well to protect him.

    The remaining five armors were given to soldiers. Wang Chen, Zhou Hao, and Jin Fei had enormous potential and were worth nurturing using the organization¡¯s best resources.

    On the other hand, only two B-tiers received the armor¡ªgunslinger Jin Hao and He Liming.

    Now that Qin Feng had brought back the robo-dog, as long as the materials to make the sacred armor are not too difficult to obtain, they could easily imitate and mass-produce the equipment. By then, everyone inside Fengli could have one.

    Moreover, the research team could perhaps invent new, more durable armor out of the technology before that. The development might head in a different direction in their hands.

    At the very least, Qin Feng had sessfully diverted Z¡¯s research direction.

    It was rare for Qin Feng to return to Fengli, and what were the odds that he happened to bump into Z!

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Z took out a test tube containing blue liquid. ¡°This is the new awakening drug that I have recently developed. The stability of the awakened spirit is 95%. Do you want to try?¡±

    ¡°You still haven¡¯t given up on making me yourb rat?¡± Qin Feng raised his eyebrow.

    ¡°I just want to show you how sessful my research is. Didn¡¯t you already recognize my research aim?¡±

    ¡°Perhaps, but I won¡¯t test it now.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s a shame. If you are more cooperative, I guarantee that you would have long been an S-tier by now!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at Z¡¯s sorry expression and grinned. ¡®You have zero clue about me.¡¯ Z would be baffled if he ever finds out that Qin Feng now owned S-tier internal strength of an ancient warrior. Not only that but he now had nine frozen stars.

    As they were talking, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator rang.

    The call was from Wang Chen.

    Surprised, Qin Feng said, ¡°Excuse me, I need to take this.¡±

    The ring came at the right time. Qin Feng had had enough of Z¡¯s insistence about his experiment. He walked away and picked up a call.

    ¡°President, I don¡¯t know whether I should tell you this,¡± Wang Chen said with concern.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Qin Feng replied.

    While he was on the call, hismunicator vibrated as the second, third, and fourth calls were iing at the same time.

    ¡®This is not going to be good.¡¯ Qin Feng furrowed his brows.

    Wang Chen hesitated and said, ¡°The Fengli colony sent in an SOS earlier. It was reported that a spatial tunnel was formed atop the Zimu Mountains. A group of skeleton-like creatures have arrived through it. They are too strong for the colony¡¯s defense and are ravaging through the settlement right now.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Qin Feng was shocked. Bai Li had already checked the area and personally stabilized the space-time around the area before. How was it possible that a rift could form with the presence of a spatial stabilizer?

    An idea came into Qin Feng¡¯s mind. He asked hastily, ¡°What¡¯s the exact strength of the skeleton creatures?¡±

    Wang Chen gritted his teeth, then said, ¡°ording to the radar, there¡¯s an S-tier among the group. Other creatures are mostly C-tier or above. The nearest colonies, Chengbei and Chengyang, have already issued a mass evacuation.¡±

    The invasion by such a horrible existence meant an immediate massacre across the Cities Along the Sun. Fengli would not survive that either.

    It would be toote to call for reinforcement from Dragon Capital now. The S-tier monster was perhaps already ughtering the first city it came across now.

    The Fengli colony was established under Wang Chen¡¯s watch. He contemted and eventually decided to ring Qin Feng.

    Though Qin Feng as an A-tier might not be able to exterminate the S-tier creature, they all knew about Bai Li¡¯s identity as an A-tier beast deity. Perhaps the presidentdy could do something about it.

    Those who had called Qin Feng after Wang Chen were probably asking for the same opinion and assistance. One of them was even sending him multiple SOS calls.

    ¡°I understand. Assemble a troop and depart with the aircraft. Do not get too close and bomb them from long range. Bai Li and I will travel there immediately to intercept the creature.¡±

    ¡°Roger that, President!¡±

    Qin Feng hung up and called for Bai Li through their soul bond.

    At the same time, Qin Feng skipped some of the calls and picked up two calls simultaneously.

    The callers on the other side were jubnt when they heard Qin Feng¡¯s voice.

    Qin Feng cut through the greetings and reassured them. ¡°Mayor Bo and Mayor Zheng, I will be there soon. In the meantime, gather your best man to help evacuate the locals.¡±

    ¡°Ah. Alright, we¡¯ll be right on it.¡± Zheng Yang said immediately.

    Bo Tianyang was relieved and touched too. ¡°Qin Feng, thank you so much!¡±

    Bai Li arrived beside Qin Feng while he was still talking. Those people did not just call Qin Feng but also Bai Li.

    Qin Feng said to Bo Tianyang, ¡°Thank meter. I will be heading there now. Keep in touch.¡±

    He hung up and was ready to depart with Bai Li.

    Z walked up to him and offered, ¡°Do you need my help? I am not asking for much. Ten A-tier blood crystals for one S-tier creature, how about that?¡±

    Aspared to looking for the blood crystal in the vast Blood River, stopping an S-tier extraterrestrial seemed far easier.

    Besides, Qin Feng did not need Z¡¯s help now.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine! We don¡¯t need your help. Let¡¯s go.¡± Qin Feng had no time to beat around the bush with Z. Bai Li heard Qin Feng and hastily set up the spatial tunnel.

    They stepped into the tunnel and disappeared immediately.

    However, Z was clearly not a man that would give up easily.

    ¡®I need to see how strong you have be now. To be able to kill an S-tier Dragon-borne huh...¡¯

    Such news would not skip Z¡¯s ears. It was up to him whether he paid attention to it or not.

    Of course, Z knew that Qin Feng had killed a Dragon-borne but was still unaware that Qin Feng had S-tier internal power. He postted that Qin Feng must have killed an S-tier with the help of other aptitude users. It would be vastly different from handling an S-tier creature alone.

    Moreover, an S-tier Dragon-borne was not the same as an S-tier extraterrestrial. Monsters were generally stronger than intelligent species.

    With his mind made up, Z searched through his spatial equipment. He found what he wanted and smashed the spatial waymark. Once he arrived at Chengyang City, he sped up using his spirit¡¯s power and reached the Fengli colony within three minutes.

    On the other hand, Qin Feng and Bai Li had reached the location that was supposed to be the Fengli colony.

    This was where Qin Feng took his first step. Whether it was the Hell Stone or the beginning of the Fengli trademark.

    Right now, it was simply a ce in hell.

 Chapter 896 - The Owner of the Severed Hand

    <h4>Chapter 896: The Owner of the Severed Hand</h4>

    It had only been four years since the day Fengli was first established. When Qin Feng was the mayor, and the time when the ck market was still operating here, this ce was bustling with people.

    But after Qin Feng left, most residents of the Fengli colony had gone with him too. The once glorified colony was only an empty shell now. Its poption had dropped sharply and did not recover much the past year.

    Aspared to the Chengbei colony, only the buildings here were newer. Its poption and ability of aptitude users were nowhere near its glory days.

    It was hard to imagine that such a cmity would befall the colony that had turned ordinary.

    Above the Zimu Mountains, zombie armies were swarming through the horrifying spatial tunnel.

    Decaying bodies, dark knights, ming skeletons were appearing one after another.

    A breath from any of these creatures could demolish a colony in the blink of an eye. It was scary to imagine what a thousand of them would do to the colonies¡¯ shaky defense.

    The zombie army seemed like a well-trained military troop. They did not ravage uncontrobly like wild beasts. Instead, most of them lined up tidily on top of the mountain while only about ten C-tiers were sent down to cleanse the human beings.

    ¡°Run!¡±

    ¡°Mama! I want Mama!¡±

    ¡°Why is this happening to us? Why would such scary creatures appear here?¡±

    Numerous people wailed in despair.

    These zombies did not need to purposely hunt down the humans. They spread their rotten aura to every corner of the colony simply by walking around aimlessly.

    Ady breathed in the rotten aura before she could cover her mouth and nose. Immediately, her eyes rolled as she fainted and fell to the ground. Her body then dposed rapidly. Not long after, her eyes reopened but there was no sign of life within. She stood and moved rigidly like a low-tier zombie.

    The evil runes spread through the entire town like a suffocating gue.

    On top of the zombie army, a bald man sitting on the back of a skeleton mammoth was watching coldly.

    The man was abnormally thin. There was no flesh between his skin and bone. Oddly, there was not a single wrinkle throughout the surface. His skin looked artificial, perhaps made from inflexible materials like bones.

    One of his hands was slim and pearl white, while the other one was asymmetrically green in color.

    He probed the entire Fengli City with its enormous aura. Clearly, he did not find what he was searching for.

    ¡°Move on. It¡¯s not here.¡±

    ¡°Yes, My Lord,¡± A dark knight by the Skeletal Sovereign side replied obediently.

    The army finally moved and descended from the Zimu Mountains. Anywhere they passed through, the corpses were infected by the rotten aura and turned into the sovereign¡¯s loyal followers.

    ¡°Wait!¡± The Skeletal Sovereign abruptly waved his hand and the army stopped short under his order.

    About ten kilometers away, a spatial tunnel was connected. Qin Feng and Bai Li then walked out from it.

    Qin Feng¡¯s senses immediately expanded. Even if they were separated by thousands of kilometers, Qin Feng would still instantly detect the sovereign¡¯s presence.

    Apparently, the Skeletal Sovereign had detected Qin Feng as well.

    ¡°Just as I have guessed,¡± Qin Feng said.

    Bai Li¡¯s consciousness had also confirmed their enemy¡¯s identity.

    At that time, Bai Li was still just a kit fox. She was the one who had shut the dimension. The Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s aura was too impactful so the impression was left in Bai Li¡¯s mind until today.

    ¡°The owner of the skeletal hand!¡±

    That was right, this was the same Skeletal Sovereign that was also looking for the Hell Stone previously. Qin Feng was only a feeble aptitude user then. It was pure luck that he could snatch the Hell Stone under the sovereign¡¯s nose.

    Though heter lost the Hell Stone in the battle with Z, Qin Feng would never forget about it.

    Unexpectedly, the Skeletal Sovereign hadnded in their dimension four yearster.

    The sovereign¡¯s consciousness scanned Qin Feng but could not recognize him. However, when he turned to Bai Li, he immediately recalled the little fox.

    ¡°You!¡± The Skeletal Sovereign was agitated. Its eyes turned into two balls of emerald fire, which seemed to burn everything in this world into nothingness.

    The Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s wrath was immeasurable after it had lost the Hell Stone along with its hand four years ago. But the spatial barrier created by Bai Li was hard to break through. In the end, the Skeletal Sovereign could only send in lower-tier creatures across to reim its treasure.

    However, they were quickly exterminated. The Skeletal Sovereign also had other problems to deal with then. Thus, it was four yearster when they finally met again.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li teleported near the Zimu Mountains in a sh. They floated in mid-air at the same height as the Skeletal Sovereign. Their eyes met and a gruesome battle was imminent.

    ¡°Surrender the dark sacred stone and I will keep your body in one piece,¡± The Skeletal Sovereign said.

    Qin Feng chided coldly, ¡°Return to where you came from and I will pretend I never saw you here.¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha, how arrogant!¡±

    The Skeletal Sovereign still had no idea who Qin Feng was. Moreover, the Hell Stone aura had beenpletely stripped off from Qin Feng. The sovereign thought that the human was here to stop him, or he was the little fox¡¯s helper.

    Regardless of who he was, whoever blocking his path deserved to be killed.

    ¡°Kill him!¡± The Skeletal Sovereign pointed at Qin Feng. The knight by his side lurched forward instantly on his skeletal mount.

    The horse ascended like there was an invisible nk in the air. Its soul burned brightly and reached Qin Feng¡¯s front within a few breaths.

    The dark knight was an A4-tier beast emperor.

    To other humans, this might be a horrendous creature. But to Qin Feng, this was just another monster that he could wipe out in an instant.

    Qin Feng raised his hand steadily. A frozen star appeared behind him.

    A sh of light shone through. The massive energy from a giant star slit the air apart.

    Poof! Upon being hit by the light, the dark knight shrieked in pain.

    Blitz!

    Like when ice met heat, the dark knight melted away rapidly.

    Then, another frightening energynded from the sky.

    Qin Feng controlled his internal strength and pressed down forcefully.

    Boom!

    It was like a hadnded on them. The zombie army was crushed instantly. All the C-tier monsters on the Zimu Mountains except the Skeletal Sovereign were exterminated by the assault.

    Qin Feng would not let any of the monsters escape. Even one going loose would be a disaster to the Three Cities along the Sun.

    While his army was being demolished, the Skeletal Sovereign did not even bat an eye. It could always summon more of them. These were just cannon fodders he had little care for.

    The Skeletal Sovereign kept its eyes fixed on Qin Feng and raised both of his hands.

    Crack! Crack!

    The next moment, a giant skeletal hand appeared out of thin air. Its sharp ws fell rapidly on Qin Feng.

    A few years ago, Qin Feng would still be daunted by the ws. He would thread carefully so that he would not waste this second chance given to him for nothing.

    But these ws were no longer worth worrying about. They were extremely fragile in Qin Feng¡¯s seasoned eyes.

    He raised his fist without hesitation.

 Chapter 897 - The Finger of Death

    <h4>Chapter 897: The Finger of Death</h4>

    Internal power was fluidly wrapped around Qin Feng¡¯s fist. He swung an ordinary punch and it collided with the giant skeletal w.

    The size difference between the two hands was enormous. None of the people living in the colony knew who Qin Feng was. However, the A-tier aptitude badge on Qin Feng¡¯s chest was assuring.

    Yet, nobody was betting on Qin Feng based on appearance alone. How was it possible for Qin Feng¡¯s tiny hand to withstand the mammoth Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s ws?

    Nevertheless, everyone was stunned by the development. Their gaze froze and their mouth stayed open. Some even wondered whether their eyes were deceiving them.

    After the collision, the giant w was halted in mid-air and did not move for another milliliter.

    Not only that but the ws appeared to be overrun by a more powerful force.

    Boom!

    A momentter, the skeletal w shattered in an explosion.

    ¡°Impossible!¡± The Skeletal Sovereign said intriguingly, ¡°How could a tiny human like you nullify my voodoo?¡±

    The Skeletal Sovereign rejected what he had just witnessed and promptly summoned two other ws. This time, the ws nked Qin Feng from both sides and intended to squash Qin Feng like he was an annoying mosquito.

    However, once again, the two ws exploded and shattered as soon as they came together.

    The dominance of Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength was on disy.

    After assimting the internal power of He Tianxing, each of Qin Feng¡¯s frozen stars had grownrger. Though he had yet to enter the S1-tier, every bit of increase in his internal strength was a radical improvement from before.

    If Qin Feng fought the Skeletal Sovereign using his consciousness, he would have lost immediately. But whenpeting using his internal strength, Qin Feng believed that even ten Skeletal Sovereigns would not be his match.

    ¡°Impossible! Again!¡±

    Boom!

    ¡°Again!¡±

    Boom!

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡±

    The Skeletal Sovereign was at the brink of madness.

    However, its ws were destroyed effortlessly by Qin Feng again and again. In the process, Qin Feng closed in little by little and was standing right in front of it now.

    Qin Feng raised his fist and punched the Sovereign fearlessly.

    The body of the Skeletal Sovereign turned into a shield. It was not particrly huge but looked heavy and tough.

    Bam!

    Qin Feng only managed to leave a crack on the shell. Qin Feng did not give up. This time, it was his turn to attack relentlessly. He threw punch after punch.

    After a few ten punches, the Sovereign could no longer hold on and flew out of the Zimu Mountains with its shield.

    Qin Feng chased on. They bothnded on a wilnd far from the settlement.

    That was exactly what Qin Feng wanted. He did not expect the Skeletal Sovereign to be this cooperative.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng¡¯s punches finally got through the bone shield.

    Unexpectedly, a dark beam came out from behind the shield and shot Qin Feng.

    The viscous beam first met Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shield and immediately punched a hole in it. The beam then hit Qin Feng¡¯s body and sent him flying backward.

    He stopped after about ten meters and dropped to the ground lifelessly.

    ¡°Hahaha! Not bad, not bad at all! Such a buffed up body would certainly make a prevailing dark knight!¡±

    The Skeletal Sovereign then raised his hand and another band of dark light shrouded Qin Feng. It was none other than the Dark Puppeteering skill.

    At the same time, Z had just arrived at one of the mountains and was witnessing everything. When he saw that Qin Feng was being beaten down by the Skeletal Sovereign, not only was he not concerned but the smile on his face became broader.

    ¡®Not bad. I arrived at the right time. You owe me big time after I save you here. I can use this favor to ask for several returnster.¡¯

    Nheless, the ck light did not rot Qin Feng¡¯s body. Instead, it was gradually being absorbed.

    The Skeletal Sovereign was shocked. He checked on Qin Feng and realized that the human was still alive.

    ¡°How is this possible?! How could you still be alive after getting hit by my Finger of Death?¡± The Sovereign bellowed in panic.

    Qin Feng raised his head and looked at the Sovereign coldly.

    His face was still pretty lifeless but after a while, vigor and redness returned to his face.

    ¡°So that¡¯s S-tier ability, the Finger of Death,¡± Qin Fengmented as he brought himself up.

    He was indeed caught by surprise. He did not expect that the Skeletal Sovereign was mustering the Finger of Death hiding behind his shell.

    More so, it was so powerful that even Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shield was pierced through.

    Of course, the Finger of Death was really only the width of a finger. All its energy was concentrated at the tip and could easily perforate the internal force shield.

    Possibly, none of the human¡¯s ancient defense art or internal force shield could withstand the Finger of Death.

    Of course, it had its weakness. The Finger of Death was a single-target skill and could only kill one person at a time.

    Unfortunately for the Sovereign, the Finger of Death only meant supplying Qin Feng with more dark runes. It did disrupt Qin Feng¡¯s life force at first, but Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability was powerful enough to digest the runes for his own use.

    Not only that but after he assimted the skill, Qin Feng had learned the ability too.

    Both the Skeletal Sovereign and Z were baffled by how Qin Feng had endured the attack.

    ¡°Do you still have any ultimates? If you don¡¯t use it now, I will be iming your body and turning it into an undead puppet!¡± Qin Feng returned what the Skeletal Sovereign had just said to him.

    The pale face of the Skeletal Sovereign twisted into a grimace. If not because of his bone-white color, the Sovereign¡¯s face was probably flushed now due to immense rage.

    ¡°World of Death!¡±

    With a bang, a barrier arose around the Skeletal Sovereign.

    The eruption of an S-tier barrier immediately shrouded the valley around them. It created a new dimension and established an isted territory.

    On top of the Skeletal Sovereign, a full moon appeared. Scriptures were seen carved across the moon. Part of it was ck and most was colored in grey.

    The grey-colored ones were also dark runes. It was used to control the skeleton.

    Qin Feng, being trapped inside the barrier, could not have walked out from it by himself.

    ¡°Careful!¡±

    Concern finally appeared on Z¡¯s face for the first time. He could sense death within the terrible barrier. If he could sense it from this far out, Qin Feng must be engulfed by it by now.

    Z believed Qin Feng¡¯s immense talent as a prodigy had allowed him to challenge an S-tier and battle like one. Regardless, his defensive prowess was probably still only A-tier

    Qin Feng could not have withstood the attack of an S-tier this way. The Finger of Death earlier was the ultimate proof.

    Nevertheless, Qin Feng survived in the end. Z had no idea how Qin Feng lived through that.

    However, when Z was ready to activate his wyvern spirit, Qin Feng who was standing in the middle of the barrier had also unleashed a powerful aura.

    Then, one after another pure frozen star materialized behind Qin Feng.

    Nine frozen stars formed a half circle and expanded gloriously behind Qin Feng.

 Chapter 898 - The Clash between Nebulas

    <h4>Chapter 898: The sh between Nebs</h4>

    The frozen stars were not just for show. It was the materialized form of Qin Feng¡¯s formidable internal strength.

    Up at the hill, Z¡¯s mouth turned into an O shape. He was beyond astonished.

    The Skeletal Sovereign within the barrier had misjudged Qin Feng¡¯s strength as well. Qin Feng hid his true power well.

    ¡°Damn!¡± The Skeletal Sovereign cried.

    It was already toote.

    ¡°Go!¡± Qin Feng stirred his internal force. The nine frozen stars ascended to the height of the grey moon. The internal force then transformed the stars into piercing arrows and charged at the moon.

    A greyish fog began to form around the moon to block the attack. However, it might be enough to resist one arrow but not the second or the third.

    Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

    The remaining eight arrows prated the grey globe. The domineering force scarred the neb brutally.

    The barrier around them suddenly turned shaky. The loss of grey runes caused some of the skeleton creatures that rose with the barrier to crumble instantly. The barrier was no longer tightly sealed too. Qin Feng had found multiple openings where he could exit the barrier immediately.

    But he would not leave when he was so close to victory. He pressed on with his magnificent frozen stars. The stars once again beamed dazzlingly with internal force.

    Upon reaching S-tier, the internal force bes a terrifying weapon. Most of the time, S-tier aptitude users hardly used their real body inbat.

    Crack! Crack!

    More fissure urred on the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s neb. The S-tier emperor had never been this terrified in its long life. Fear had taken over his once imperious eyes.

    ¡°No!¡± The Skeletal Sovereign tried to retract the grey globe, which was his conscious starglobe.

    When the globe was being released from its realm, it transformed into a neb that could easily demolish any aptitude user with a physique below S-tier.

    Unfortunately, the Skeletal Sovereign hade across an entric opponent.

    Qin Feng would not let the chance slip. He lunged toward the Sovereign carrying the nine frozen stars¡¯ enormous force.

    It was the final straw. The Sovereign¡¯s nebpletely shattered.

    Boom!

    The neb promptly exploded. Arge amount of grey and dark runes dispersed rapidly into the surrounding area.

    A bird-type beast flew past them and was contaminated by the runes. It instantly lost all its power as well as its flesh. Peculiarly, the bird continued to fly on despite only having its skeleton intact. Its eyes turned green and burned with soul fire.

    The dark rune would turn the whole poption of the Cities along the Sun into zombies or undead creatures if spread on.

    But in the next moment, these runes that surged to the air inverted more rapidly than they had initially erupted.

    In the middle of the valley, a whirlpool appeared in between Qin Feng¡¯s brows. All the escaped runes were pulled in by it.

    When Qin Feng was at G-tier, his ability could already absorb the runes on the Hell Stone. Though the Skeletal Sovereign was powerful, its starglobe was not as pure as the Hell Stone. To Qin Feng, he was just iming the dark core from yet another S-tier monster.

    But the amount of consciousness the Sovereign possessed was indeed massive. Simr to Qin Feng, the Sovereign must have killed a lot of monsters and imed their consciousness throughout its life.

    The assimtion of such broad conscious power significantly elevated Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm.

    Bam!

    Conscious level B9-tier!

    Bam!

    Conscious level A-tier!

    If Qin Feng was an ordinary aptitude user, such a mammoth amount of conscious power would have long ruptured Qin Feng¡¯s realm.

    Luckily, Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm was equivalent to the rank of a beast emperor. Unlike his physique, Qin Feng¡¯s realm could expand endlessly. In addition, Godwill As helped smoothen his leveling from one tier to another.

    Instantly, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness climbed to a new height. As if a God had descended to the human world, people watching him could not resist the urge to kneel down and worship him.

    Even Z needed to draw substantial energy from his body to resist Qin Feng¡¯s aura. Luckily, Qin Feng did not indulge in it for too long. This was the second time he attained A-tier. Qin Feng quickly regressed the aura and appeared ordinary again.

    However, the two that had witnessed his transformation would no longer view him as a normal human.

    The dark runes from the Sovereign¡¯s neb had beenpletely absorbed by Qin Feng. Even the remaining runes left by the destroyed barrier were snatched up. Otherwise, this ce might turn into a dark ce roamed by evil creatures.

    Then, Qin Fengid his eyes on the Skeletal Sovereign. It was still alive.

    Of course, it could hardly be called sovereign now. After its conscious globe was destroyed by Qin Feng, the once atrocious Skeletal Sovereign was just a wasted creature now.

    After years of umtion, the toughness of the skeleton¡¯s bone had evolved into A-tier. Though its physique was still considered high-end, it was no different than an ant in front of Qin Feng¡¯s power.

    S-tier was godly, while A-tier was mortal.

    ¡°As I said, return to your dimension and I will spare your life,¡± Qin Feng warned with an icy tone.

    The skeleton did not die immediately after its consciousness was mutted. It might look human but instead was an undead that could live forever. Otherwise, he would have long dissipated after his conscious realm copsed.

    ¡°I will retreat now! I will go back now!¡± The skeleton pleaded, ¡°Don¡¯t kill me, please. I didn¡¯t do this on purpose. I am just here looking for a lost item.¡±

    Qin Feng said, ¡°I see. The item you speak of, wasn¡¯t it taken by me?¡±

    The skeleton immediately regretted it. ¡®Why would I say that?¡¯

    But its soul flickered rapidly and the dejected skeleton responded, ¡°Do you want dark sacred stone? Don¡¯t kill me and I will give you mine!¡±

    Qin Feng red at him. ¡°If you have the sacred stone, why did youe all the way to my world looking for it? Don¡¯t you lie to me!¡±

    The skeleton was stunned and realized its lie was porous. It quickly corrected itself, ¡°No, wait! I mean I know where the sacred stone is. I can tell you and you can get it by yourself!¡±

    ¡°Really?¡±

    ¡°Yes! Yes!¡±

    Qin Feng did not bother with his reply and called out, ¡°Bai Li.¡±

    When they were talking, Qin Feng and the skeleton weremunicating through their consciousness. But when Qin Feng spelled out the two words, the skeleton did not understand thenguage and was dumbfounded. In the next moment, ady in a white robe appeared right by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Look at me!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s silver-ring irises peered straight into the skeleton¡¯s soul and took it over.

 Chapter 899 - Imprisoning the Skeletal Sovereign

    <h4>Chapter 899: Imprisoning the Skeletal Sovereign</h4>

    The Skeletal Sovereign was S-tier but whenpared to a beast deity, they both had their own unique capabilities. However, after Qin Feng smashed his consciousness globe, although the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s body was like an A-tier skeleton, he was at the lowest possible level to the point where it would be considered as cannon fodder.

    Not only that, his consciousness was even worse than ordinary people¡¯s.

    In that instant, the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s mind was taken by Bai Li.

    The Skeletal Sovereign reeled in horror, but everything he knew was revealed bit by bit under Qin Feng¡¯s interrogation.

    The history of awakening in the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s realm had obviously been longer than Qin Feng¡¯s realm.

    While there were not many resources and the ordinary people were not in any danger, there were only a few aptitude users. They had a high status and enjoyed the same treatment like aristocrats. The Skeletal Sovereigns dominated in this aspect, but that was the case of being the strongest.

    This meant that the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s realm posed no real threat to Qin Feng, unlike the Dragon-borne, which had to be crushed.

    As for the Hell Stone the Skeletal Sovereign spoke about, it was not obtained from a realm he knew.

    ¡°This eight hundred year old skeleton surely must know more things. Lock him up and we can take our time interrogating him!¡± Qin Feng said.

    This was obviously not a ce where they could take their time.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll shut him in my space!¡±

    Bai Li was the master of a realm which had a faster flow of time. Many treasures were ced inside it, which meant she obviously would not let the Skeletal Sovereign enter. However, she could separate things into different spaces, one that was dark with nothing inside it. Unless it was an A-tier beast deity, nothing would be able to break out of it.

    Besides, the Skeletal Sovereign did not need to eat. Putting him in her space was not a bad idea.

    Bai Li picked up the Skeletal Sovereign and stuffed him into a sealed space.

    After having dealt with this dangerous enemy, Qin Feng turned his attention to Z.

    Z had aplicated expression, he had never expected Qin Feng to show such strength.

    Not only that, when the nine frozen stars were on full disy and approaching him, Z felt a tremendous amount of pressure.

    ¡°Z, I have never been able to see through your strength, the Spirit Champion is powerful indeed but that doesn¡¯t mean abilities and ancient martial arts aren¡¯t strong as well. How about this, fight me and we will see who¡¯s stronger, after all wouldn¡¯t that be necessary for your research? What¡¯s the use of researching weak people?¡±

    Qin Feng mainly wanted to try again and see just what the difference was between him and Z now.

    Were the different powers they had really that different?

    He had been persuaded by Z¡¯s experiments, but now, he did not want to change.

    However, this battle was not something that Z wanted to think about.

    ¡°You¡¯ve progressed faster than I¡¯ve imagined. Very unexpected!¡±

    Qin Feng said with a grin, ¡°To be honest, my problem with you isn¡¯t very well exined. Whatever¡¯s in the past, I¡¯ll let it go! However, the issue between you and Bai Li can¡¯t be overlooked!¡±

    ¡°Her?¡± Z was taken aback, looking at Bai Li.

    Bai Li was also taken aback, looking at Qin Feng.

    ¡®Husband, are you trying to mess with him? With me as the opener?¡¯ Bai Li spoke to Qin Feng using their soul contract connection.

    He seemed to answer her question as he started to exin to Z.

    ¡°Four years ago, I found a human experimentationb made by your subordinates. Among the piles of ultra beast refuse, I found a newly born Bai Li. Her mother had already been killed by your people after they experimented on her. For humans, maybe ultra beasts are the enemy, but I look out for my own, and Bai Li is part of my family!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Z nodded his head, understanding the whole story.

    Standing on the top position of this operation, this was something he would encounter. Theboratory was something he established, the people within acting like barbarians, the people who got offended, the people who got taken away were at an uncountable number. Z could not care any less about it.

    However, when someone who they had offended managed to reach Qin Feng¡¯s level of strength, Z could not help but start caring.

    ¡°Then Miss Bai Li, what do you want?¡±

    At this time, Bai Li looked at Qin Feng, there was an inexplicable feeling making her heart beat.

    Maybe, this was what it was like to feel touched!

    Among ultra beasts, reproduction was based on instinct and once the cubs were born the amount of care they received was not the same as how humans treated their young.

    Even then, Bai Li¡¯s beast mother had not reached a level where she would inherit much. Among spatial beasts, their statuses and identities were different.

    And after Bai Li was born Qin Feng was the first person she saw, which led to her seeing him as her master and also a father figure.

    Now, he was seeking justice for her.

    Actually, Bai Li rarely thought too much about it. However, Qin Feng cared so he was sticking his neck out for her and even wanted to offend an S-tier powerhouse.

    ¡°What do I want? How about this, let¡¯s duel. However, it¡¯ll be two against one!¡±

    With that being said, Bai Li was already on the offensive.

    ¡°I never liked you back then, today I¡¯ll take this moment to beat you up!¡± Bai Li could finally get some payback from the time Z chased down Qin Feng and her.

    Back with He Tianxing, she did not have any time to do anything but this time she was not letting go of this chance.

    With this in mind, the three shed. The power released in this fight was not strong enough to break through the spatial barrier that was set up, but at the same time it was vast enough to send ultra beasts in the wilderness fleeing with haste.

    The battlested at least one day and one night.

    Bai Tianyang and Zheng Yang did not know that Qin Feng had already captured the Skeletal Sovereign and many people did not know that Z was one of the strongest S-tiers in Huaxia, so they thought that the battle had not stopped yet and they were frightened.

    When they submitted their support applications, both were rejected with the saying that only Qin Feng was enough.

    When they thought about it, the creatures that appeared were S-tier and Qin Feng was only one person, how could that possibly be enough?

    Bai Tianyang boldly approached the battlefield with caution. The surroundingndscape had been changed, people could not help but wonder what kind of power could do all of that.

    None of this was what his level of understanding could deduce.

    Boom!

    Another loud noise rang out, Bai Tianyang was thirty thousand meters away and he suddenly felt as if he was unable to breathe and did not approach any more.

    On the battlefield, Qin Feng put away the nine frozen stars on his back and the ck Dragon surrounding Z also disappeared.

    ¡°Someone¡¯sing!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°We¡¯re done? Good, instead of wasting time with you I can go back and do experiments!¡± Z said.

    For one day and one night, while they were all holding back, Z could not deal with Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Qin Feng had grown stronger than he had imagined. Unfortunately that meant that Z also knew that he could never try and seize Qin Feng to conduct experiments on.

    ¡°Even if the previous events have been written off, I¡¯m afraid I will still be meddling in whatever it is you do in the future!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Z was a little annoyed and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you meddling enough already?¡±

 Chapter 900 - Working Together Again

    <h4>Chapter 900: Working Together Again</h4>

    ¡°Now that I have the same level of strength as you, naturally we need to discuss again about how we should work together!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Z said, ¡°I cannot cooperate with you!¡±

    ¡°So you¡¯re going to give up the Fettered Land? With the direction your experiments are going, you seem to be very close to sess. Now you want to give up?¡±

    Z was obviously affected by Qin Feng. In fact, most of the time when Z was researching, he felt that the materials Qin Feng provided were often of great help to him.

    ¡°Z, ever since we started working together have there been any errors in the direction of the research I¡¯ve been pushing forward? On the other hand, your previous research was always harmful to others, and what was the need for that? You want the awakening of humanity, not its destruction, isn¡¯t this team-up necessary for the betterment of mankind?¡±

    ¡°How much do you want?¡± Z asked.

    ¡°What I want isn¡¯t any benefit, but the right to choose. I hope that we can make another contract again. Starting today, I want to have the right to choose within the experimentation group in the Z Organization. I can look through all the experimental projects and veto unreasonable experiments, also I want the right to see if the results of these experiments could bepleted in the future. If profits are being made then it will be divided based on a five to five ratio, we can discuss the materials,bour and salester!¡±

    However, Zughed, ¡°This seems beneficial to you. Your Fengli Organization doesn¡¯t seem to have a shortage in materials,bour or sales!¡±

    ¡°So in the end you¡¯re just invested in technology. Isn¡¯t that what you want? You¡¯re just a scientist!¡± Qin Feng said, ¡°And I am the president of apany.¡±

    Z thought about it, but he did not refute Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    He cared less about strength but more for experimentation, which was a respect that he held deep within his bones.

    Besides that, after meeting Qin Feng, apart from the initial unpleasantness at the start, the research that he had proposed was progressing rapidly.

    ¡°I don¡¯t seem to have any other choice!¡±

    ¡°This choice wouldn¡¯t be a mistake!¡± Qin Feng said.

    In truth, Qin Feng had changed much of history.

    Whether it was the Glutton Leviathan¡¯s organic material, materials from the Cinder Pine from the Cinderst Realm, along with the Fettered Land, the supergenius Chu Fan, or the Blood River Realm.

    Not only that, with his knowledge of the future, he prevented the Z Organization from carrying out their original ns of transforming humans. From Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth until now, the Dark Coalition¡¯s widespread experiments of creating mutant humans had also gradually faded due to his intervention.

    While Qin Feng did not know how to create an elixir that could awaken all of mankind, he had turned the wheel away from the wrong direction that urred in his past life.

    Z agreed to working together again, but this was not a time where they could stay around and chat.

    ¡°I¡¯m going to have to deal with the mayor of Chengyang City, do you want to leave or stay?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Z, the hidden S-tier of the Huaxia Alliance, had not really shown his face after showing up at Fengli and he did not intend on meeting anyone else any time soon.

    ¡°I¡¯m going back to Fengli first!¡± Z said immediately and disappeared after a few leaps.

    Following his departure, the vibrations of battle had settled. Qin Feng moved toward Bai Tianyang¡¯s direction.

    Bai Tianyang was hidden on a hill, his perception was not very strong but soon his eyes spotted two people slowly walking out.

    ¡°Marshal Qin, Miss Bai!¡± He immediately hopped out of his hiding ce. ¡°What about that terrible creature? Is it dealt with? Or...¡±

    Bai Tianyang paused, he quickly pulled back his words, ¡°I mean, I don¡¯t mean anything else by that, if it escaped then it escaped!¡±

    He did not want Qin Feng to think that he was ming him but when thinking about that S-tier creature Bai Tianyang felt that Qin Feng would not be able to deal with it.

    ¡°It has been killed!¡± Qin Feng said. As for the capture of the Skeletal Sovereign, it wasn¡¯t something that Bai Tianyang needed to know.

    The man was stunned for a moment, he did not expect Qin Feng to actually take down an S-tier!

    He looked at Qin Feng again with a trace of awe in his eyes

    ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good. Thank you Marshal!¡±

    Bai Tianyang was very grateful toward Qin Feng, but as a D-tier aptitude user he did not have anything of value he could thank him with.

    ¡°It¡¯s what I should do, no need to bother, Mayor Bai.¡±

    After saying that, Qin Feng said his goodbyes. Bai Tianyang naturally reported this incident to the Northern Regent and Shang Han passed it onto Dragon Capital. As for the military rewards that Qin Feng would gain, that would depend on what Dragon Capital decided to provide.

    He did not care about following events, instead he returned to Fengli City and entered theboratory.

    Z had already been waiting there.

    The two renewed their cooperation contract, which was more detailed than the previous one. Even Z¡¯s identity had been changed from a powerful man who was a deterring force into a researcher through and through, Professor Z.

    Z¡¯s underlings were not very happy about this, but with Z¡¯s overwhelming force they did not dare say anything.

    The strong was respected, and in terms of cooperation, it was that crudely simple.

    ¡°This experiment needs to be stopped, this one and this, and this too!¡±

    Qin Feng went through all of Z¡¯s experimental items and stopped the unnecessary ones.

    Even former small workshops were all immediately closed down. All the researchers, whether they were in Huilu state¡¯s or the Three Cities Under the Sun¡¯sboratories, hade to Fengli. In the vast North Sea Desert, now known as the Fengli Oasis, arger undergroundboratory was established.

    After turning an enemy into an ally, the Fengli Organization had a new link added to it. It made this infamous empire ever more so powerful, indomitable even.

    Once the contract had been signed, Qin Feng and Bai Li once again departed Fengli without saying a word.

    ***

    Western hemisphere, Meherz Empire.

    In the Western half of the world, only one Human Alliance called themselves by the moniker of ¡®Empire¡¯.

    In the evening, the setting sun shrouded a ruined city, casting not what people would call the golden rays of warmth but an elongated ck shadow, and filled the air with a frightening atmosphere.

    The whole city was silent, yet full of death and decay.

    On the damaged road, an aircraft flew close to the ground and gradually headed toward that terrible city.

    At the edge of this city, a few aptitude users were making their way back and were a little surprised when they saw where the aircraft was headed.

    ¡°Are you new here? It¡¯s going to be night soon, you can¡¯t enter Dead Silent City at night!¡±

    The ability user among them sent out a message with their consciousness.

    The aircraft stopped, and when itnded a young person walked out.

    This person was Qin Feng!

    Nobody would have thought that the newly appointed A-tier Marshal of the Huaxia Alliance was not dealing with Huaxia¡¯s A-tier beast deities, but hade all the way here to the Meherz Empire in the Western hemisphere.

    ¡°Is there a map for Dead Silent City? I¡¯ll pay with power credits!¡± Qin Feng spoke back with his consciousness and at the same time took out a small bag with 100 power credits inside it.

    The aptitude users in front of Qin Feng were all E-tiers. 100 power credits could be exchanged for at least 1 million dors. All that for a map. That kind of transaction was too worthwhile.

 Chapter 901 - Dead Silent City

    <h4>Chapter 901: Dead Silent City</h4>

    ¡°Power credits? You¡¯re really going to use power credits to buy?¡± The woman asked, this time she opened her mouth to speak.

    Looking at Qin Feng¡¯s hair color, he was obviously different from her blue eyes and blonde hair. She was just about to use her consciousness to trante but realized that Qin Feng was already speaking fluently, in the Meherz Empire¡¯snguage no less.

    ¡°Yes, the more detailed the map the better, give me the best ones that you have!¡±

    As a mercenary lord, Qin Feng had gone to many ces in his previous life and had done countless missions. What was more, for people nowadays, the growth of one¡¯s consciousness meant the increase of one¡¯s intellect, better learning speed and would even be able to to have impable memorization, being able to recall anything that they had learned earlier.

    ¡°Okay, okay!¡±

    The woman hurriedly opened up hermunicator and her twopanions did the same, rushing to send the map over to Qin Feng as if they would not receive the money if they were one step toote.

    Qin Feng received the map. It was a very detailed map and even some of the outermost areas had some special marks, these were the paths that these people took.

    He threw the ck bag in his hand toward the woman.

    ¡°Thanks, bye!¡±

    ¡°Goodbye!¡± The woman quickly opened the bag and was very happy when she saw the power credits inside. The other two watched eagerly and the woman then gave some to them.

    Soon she raised her head and looked around with suspicion.

    ¡°Where¡¯s that person from?¡±

    ¡°Man¡¯s popped off to Dead Silent City!¡±

    ¡°What? It¡¯s gonna get dark out, is he looking to die?¡±

    ¡°Who cares? From the looks, man¡¯s got more money than sense. With just one power credit in the Meherz Empire he can get the most detailed map, but he actually paid a hundred of ¡¯em.¡±

    The woman wanted to say something but she could not find Qin Feng¡¯s figure, so she gave up, regretting not adding the other person¡¯smunicator when she sent the map.

    Needless to say, her worries were unnecessary.

    Qin Feng just did not want to cause trouble, so he took off his aptitude user badge as he did not intend to expose his strength.

    Although Dead Silent City was owned by an S-tier Dark Coalition tyrant, this was still the Meherz Empire¡¯s territory and even the terrifying and powerful ultra beast that hid within the city was considered as one of their resources.

    He drove the aircraft and entered Dead Silent City without any issue.

    The Corpse Corps in the city looked as if they had not seen Qin Feng at all, minding their own business.

    With his Dark aura, the zombies thought he was one of their own, something that was even stronger than them, so they naturally would not try to provoke it.

    The deeper he went the stronger the surrounding zombies. Only F-tier zombies wandered around at the outermost part, but the ones within were constantly improving. After having piloted the aircraft for an hour, the zombies he encountered had reached B-tier.

    Dead Silent City was a city that got destroyed two hundred years ago when the Great Rift Age began, a Hell Stone crashed here andpletely decimated the city.

    The poption of the city in the beginning was not hundreds of thousands but instead millions. In the prosperous Meherz Empire, this lively city had a poption of 30 million people.

    Even after two hundred years of attempts to clean the city up, the zombies were still densely packed. Besides that, they no longer lived in high-rise buildings as they did before when they were alive. Instead they wandered the streets and alleys. There were also mutated creatures as well, the citizens back then liked to keep things like cats and dogs as pets.

    Now, they had all be powerful creatures.

    ¡°Let¡¯s get out and have a look, we should be able to find it soon!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°I¡¯m not going, it¡¯s gross here!¡± Bai Li did not like the presence of undead-type creatures. After so many years, this ce was simply a paradise of decay.

    Besides, since there was not any threat to Qin Feng here at all, Bai Li did not n to go out.

    ¡°Well, then you just wait here you vain little fox!¡±

    Qin Feng pinched her cheek and walked out on his own.

    He spread out his awareness and constantly probed the surrounding area but he could not find that strong being.

    The Skeleton Sovereign that had control over the Hell Stone.

    This sovereign was the one that used the Finger of Death to instantly destroy an S-tier ancient warrior.

    Now, Qin Feng had an idea on how to fight him.

    ¡®With my perception I can¡¯t find it? Maybe its dark ability is really powerful!¡¯ Qin Feng thought. Unless he also went out searching with his dark ability, he might not be able to find it.

    Even though Qin Feng was a dark ability user, he was only A-tier in terms of power. He definitely would not be an opponent for a Skeleton Sovereign that had possessed a Hell Stone for two hundred years.

    ¡°Since I can¡¯t find it, I¡¯ll just force it to show up!¡±

    Qin Feng raised the Verdant Emperor Saber and his body instantly disappeared before reappearing beside a powerful B-tier zombie.

    sh!

    The sword swept over and the zombie¡¯s head fell toward the ground.

    He did not stop moving his feet, continuing to move forward as he swept and shed with his de. One by one, the zombies fell by his hand.

    ¡°Kreeaaah!¡±

    As zombies died, the soul mes which had been imprisoned within their bodies for so many years rushed out and entered the Verdant Emperor Saber. Compared to the soul of an ordinary ultra beast, the soul of this long dead zombie was even more powerful.

    ¡°Hellfire!¡±

    mes enveloped the entire street, burning the zombies. The only part that did not burn was the concentrated crystal core in its body. After the mes burned it, it was refined and stored into Qin Feng¡¯s spatial rune equipment.

    Qin Feng forced his way through like a brutal warlord, burning and looting as he pressed forward.

    This kind of behavior was meant to provoke the Skeletal Sovereign.

    If the Skeletal Sovereign saw this, he would definitely attack Qin Feng to drive him away from his territory.

    At this time, the Skeletal Sovereign did not appear but there was another group of people outside of the city who noticed this.

    There was arge number of people in this group, at least hundreds of people. Among them, there were more than ten A-tier aptitude users and more than two hundred B-tier aptitude users. Most of them actually belonged to an organization.

    The Giant Organization.

    This was an organization of an S-tier aptitude user, among which the strongest was called the ¡®Armored Giant¡¯.

    ¡°Dad, what¡¯s going on, did someoneunch an assault ahead of time?¡±

    One of them was wearing a ck robe, and was even holding a ck scepter made from indiscernible material in his hand. On top of the scepter was a huge energy crystal core.

    The color of this crystal core was ck.

    This was a dark ability user.

    ¡°How could someone go at a time like this? The night is when the Skeletal Sovereign is at its strongest. Who would be that uncaring of death, actually going in there at this hour?¡±

    Armored Giant came back from other realms to obtain this Hell Stone for his son who had just ranked up to an A-tier ability user. The Skeletal Sovereign could not absorb the Hell Stone. As long as he could snatch it, it would belong to his son!

    Unexpectedly, someone acted faster than him.

 Chapter 902 - If Itâ€™s A Fight You Want, Itâ€™s A Fight Youâ€™ll Get

    <h4>Chapter 902: If It¡¯s A Fight You Want, It¡¯s A Fight You¡¯ll Get</h4>

    ¡°Since there¡¯s someone who¡¯s out there acting recklessly, let them fight first!¡± Armored Giant¡¯s son said with a chilling smile.

    Such a powerful person like his father did not even dare to risk going into Dead Silent City at night. Who was this audacious person, if he wanted to die then so be it!

    ¡°That¡¯s strange I don¡¯t feel any S-tier aura, could it be a foolish rookie?¡± Armored Giant was a little confused.

    It was only thirty kilometers away from the center of the city and Armored Giant¡¯s perception was an area of one hundred kilometers.

    He could perceive the direction of Qin Feng¡¯s battle, but Qin Feng¡¯s power was greater than Armored Giant¡¯s so he naturally would not get detected by him.

    With the range of Qin Feng¡¯s shroud, not even Bai Li would be detected by Armored Giant.

    That was why Armored Giant was confused.

    However, Armored Giant agreed with his son¡¯s statement and did not move, only looking at the mes zing in Dead Silent City.

    One hour.

    Two hours.

    Three hours.

    The moon was in the middle of the sky but the battle still went on as Qin Feng continued his rampage.

    ¡°Meow!¡±

    A meter long undead beast rushed out from the corner of a street at a high speed.

    Qin Feng¡¯s hairs stood on their ends as he felt threatened for a moment.

    This speed was too fast, even if he wanted to dodge he was just a littlete.

    Scrit...

    The sound of a cat¡¯s ws running down a wooden board could be heard, white marks were left on top of his internal force shield.

    Qin Feng did not manage to avoid the attack but if his internal force shield was not there to defend him he might have died.

    ¡°Amazing!¡±

    He unleashed his awareness and locked onto the ultra beast. This ultra beast was actually an A3-tier beast deity.

    Moreover, it seemed like it was able to reach this level because of its speed. It moved at a speed that people could not even react to.

    ¡°However, it became a beast deity at such a powerful speed, could it be that its physical body is actually pretty fragile?¡±

    Qin Feng thought, swinging out his de.

    However, this mutant cat beast deity was too fast and as the two shed against one another nobody was able tond a proper blow on the other.

    By the time a hundred moves had been made over the course of the battle, Qin Feng still could not defeat this cat-like beast deity.

    ¡°That¡¯s it!¡±

    He did not want to continue trying to outspeed his opponent and in the next moment a terrifying amount of magma burst out from around his body.

    In an instant, magma covered an area of three hundred meters around Qin Feng.

    ¡°First Domain!¡±

    The magma-coverednd caused the undamaged buildings to sink one after another before they were melted down by the heat of the magma. For that three hundred meters there was no more dark ce left to hide in.

    ¡°Mrow!¡± The cat-like beast deity abruptly yowled. As a beast deity, even if it was an undead creature, the power of its soul made it very intelligent.

    It was able to recognize when a threat was too great.

    With that in mind, the cat-like beast deity started to run away at an extremely fast speed.

    However, Qin Feng could not just let it get away like that.

    In the next moment, his whole body was covered by yellow earth runes and three hundred meters away, at the edge of his Domain move, mountainous peaks began to rise up.

    ¡°Second Domain!¡±

    The mountain peaks enveloped the Fire Barrier move but if it was just that then it would not have been a very powerful Domain move. Instead, there was a maic force surrounding the mountain peaks and the creatures near the mountain peaks suddenly felt very heavy.

    A high gravitational force.

    Then, in the sky, ming meteorites appeared, falling from the sky and crashing down.

    The cat-like beast deity slowed down due to the gravity forcing it down but not enough that it could be hit by the meteorites in the air.

    Still, the ground was covered inva, and Fire Dragons reared up left and right, burning its body and forcing it to run away to hide.

    ¡°Mrow!!!¡±

    The cat-like beast deity suddenly let out a shrill cry, which sounded very simr to a baby¡¯s cry, and that made people who heard it feel inexplicably creeped out. It struggled as it mmed into the mountain peaks, trying to force its way through the barrier.

    Both were A-tier deity level beings. There was no saying that one could restrain the other. It was not difficult for cat-like ultra beasts to escape if they tried to.

    Its attack momentarily halted its body and Qin Feng was finally able to seize the moment.

    ¡°Wanzhong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    In an instant, phantoms rushed out from the Verdant Emperor Saber and enshrouded the cat-like beast deity¡¯s body.

    The cat creature let out a yowl but as the phantoms tore into it, surrounding its body, no matter how fast it was it could not escape.

    Its shrill cries pierced through the sky but abruptly stopped

    Pfft!

    The cat-like beast deity fell into the Fire Barrier and as it died, its rotting body also started to burn away, leaving behind a fist sized beast deity crystal core behind that was picked up by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Oh? This beast deity crystal core has wind runes in it!¡±

    He looked at the crystal core with surprise, thinking about his abilities. He did not hesitate to squeeze out this beast deity crystal core!

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    Arge amount of runes and consciousness was integrated into Qin Feng¡¯s mind but as he got stronger, a beast deity¡¯s strength alone was not enough to promote him. Perhaps only an S-tier ultra beast could be able to make him reach a certain level in an instant.

    Just as he absorbed the crystal core, something seemed to have awakened in Dead Silent City.

    Outside of the city, Armored Giant, who had a vague uneasy feeling, stood up after Qin Feng unleashed the Spirit Chain Rend.

    ¡°It¡¯s here, there¡¯s indeed an S-tier¡¯s aura, but who is it? Someone who is actually stronger than my perception could detect? Are they stronger than me?¡± It was Qin Feng¡¯s aura but Armored Giant had never felt it before and did not know which powerful passer-by Qin Feng was.

    However, just as Qin Feng unleashed his S-tier move, another extremely domineering aura came over.

    Gradually, the corpses and skeletons within Dead Silent City gathered together and stacked on top of each other to form a giant.

    Boom!

    As soon as the fifty foot giant raised its foot, it crushed countless buildings among the ruins and approached Qin Feng¡¯s direction one step at a time.

    At this time, Qin Feng did not put away his Fire Barrier but the crystal core in his hand had already been absorbed.

    His attention naturally went to the Corpse Giant.

    A powerful S-tier aura rushed toward his face.

    ¡°Is that the Skeleton Sovereign? It¡¯s really powerful and seems more powerful than the other Skeletal Sovereign!¡±

    Creatures within different stages would obviously have varying levels of strength, the Skeleton Sovereign was no outlier.

    With the title of ¡®Sovereign¡¯, it meant that the Skeleton Sovereign was not only an S-tier ultra beast, it was within the king level.

    It was already very difficult to reach the S-tier and even then being at king level meant it was no surprise that nobody wanted to mess with such a being.

    ¡°Human, you have gone too far!¡±

    An echoing voice was transmitted via the consciousness from the Corpse Giant¡¯s body.

    It was indeed the Skeletal Sovereign!

    With Qin Feng¡¯s grip tight on the Verdant Emperor Saber, the frozen stars gradually appeared in the air behind him!

    The nine frozen stars were fanned out, unleashing the aura of an S-tier ancient warrior into the battlefield.

    ¡°If it¡¯s a fight you want, it¡¯s a fight you¡¯ll get!¡±

 Chapter 903 - Still A Dead S-tier

    <h4>Chapter 903: Still A Dead S-tier</h4>

    The Skeletal Sovereign was as intelligent as humans, if Qin Feng was trying to goad a reaction earlier, he did not react.

    However, Qin Feng killed off the cat ultra beast. If he continued to kill like that, then all the strong ones in this city would have been killed off.

    By then, the Skeletal Sovereign would be akin to sitting in a pce with no servants and no moreckeys to send after the foolhardy trespassers.

    That being said, Qin Feng¡¯s actions had provoked the Skeletal Sovereign and was exactly what he had wanted.

    His n was to lure the Skeletal Sovereign out, kill him and then take the Hell Stone for himself.

    He charged right for the Skeletal Sovereign.

    ¡°Rampage Influx!¡±

    His figure stayed in ce but that was only his afterimage. His real figure had already arrived behind the Skeletal Sovereign.

    ¡°Wanzhong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    Bringing the de down, it split the air and shed into the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s massive body.

    Boom!

    Although the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s Corpse Giant did not get chopped up, it staggered a few strides forward. The body could not maintain its bnce and looked like it was about to fall. In fact, the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s back was densely shrouded with the power of darkness.

    Qin Feng broke through this darkness and appeared at the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s side again.

    ¡°sh!¡±

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was vigorously swung forward by Qin Feng, each cut left a mark on the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s body. After several swings, corpses covered the ground as they fell from the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s body.

    ¡°Ghoul Rave Frenzy!¡±

    The Skeletal Sovereign cried out, and the dead zombies on the ground, even fallen chunks of flesh, were brimming with power. They crawled toward Qin Feng and enveloped hisyer of internal force.

    ¡°Blood Burst!¡±

    Boom!!!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was rattled by the flesh around it, and as it continued to face the vibrations the protection around him started to get thinner.

    Such a trick obviously could not be continued.

    ¡°Miniature Enchantment!¡±

    In an instant, Qin Feng¡¯s surroundings turned into a shrunken version of the World of Fire move but the temperature was higher, burning away the flesh around him. Now, there was no chance for the Skeletal Sovereign to attack him like that again.

    When he popped out though, the Skeletal Sovereign had already made preparations.

    ¡°Finger of Death!¡±

    A st of darkness, as if gathered from the moonlight, descended silently.

    If it were someone else, they would not have seen what the Finger of Death looked like, but for Qin Feng, he had mastered being in the dark.

    ¡°Finger of Death!¡± Qin Feng raised a finger and a beam of darkness erupted from it, crashing into the Finger of Deathing down from above.

    As the two rays of darkness collided with one another, no loud sound erupted and they immediately dissipated!

    However the spreading dark runes crushed everything around them.

    Without a sound, arge hole more than ten meters wide appeared on the pile of corpses on the ground. This was because both users¡¯ abilities were still in the air and the hole was just a remnant of that disy of force.

    ¡°Impossible! How do you know the Finger of Death!¡±

    The Skeletal Sovereign conveyed an inquisitive tone with his consciousness.

    The Finger of Death, at least in terms of controlling dark runes, was an elite move, but Qin Feng had been using ancient martial arts against the Skeletal Sovereign.

    Just when the Skeletal Sovereign was stumped by this, another aura suddenly entered the two¡¯s range of awareness.

    It was Armored Giant!

    He could no longer wait.

    ¡°Giant Burst!¡± Armored Giant roared, his body abruptly inting like a balloon.

    Although it was impossible to be asrge as the Skeletal Sovereign, being at least ten meters tall, it was up to the height of the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s calf.

    In addition to the body, another surge of power shed through the body, when it was done it was a full suit of armor ting. This armor, at first nce, was a God level treasure.

    ¡°Aaagh!¡±

    Armored Giant roared and charged forward, taking more than ten meters in one step and creating deep pits in the ground with each step.

    He was nning to rush down the Skeletal Sovereign, fighting in a close range could allow him to send the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s Corpse Giant toppling down.

    However, Armored Giant¡¯s speed was too slowpared to Qin Feng¡¯s.

    At this time, the Skeletal Sovereign was still reeling from the fact that the Finger of Death did not work. Without thinking, he fired off another Finger of Death but it was no longer directed toward Qin Feng and instead at Armored Giant.

    The Finger of Death was hidden in the darkness since it was a dark ability. Armored Giant had a bad feeling in his gut, his heart beat rapidly as he tried to stop his feet. However, the huge body was awkward to maneuver and he could not avoid it in time.

    Whoosh!

    The Finger of Death hit Armored Giant¡¯s head.

    Even someone in the S-tier, when facing such a powerful dark ability user, still would not be able to withstand a fatal blow.

    The next moment, Armored Giant¡¯s body rapidly shrunk. Not only that, his hair became grey then fully white and his skin was covered in wrinkles before quickly drying up, falling t on the ground.

    In just a few moments, Armored Giant turned into an old man and aged to death.

    ¡°Looks like my appearance in Dead Silent City didn¡¯t change anything, Armored Giant still died here!¡±

    And it was due to the death of Armored Giant and the power of the Skeletal Sovereign that nobody dared toe to draw its ire.

    Only now there was a person like Qin Feng who did not follow the logic people were used to.

    Qin Feng was not afraid of the Finger of Death. Once this move was proven to be useless against him, the Skeletal Sovereign could not face off against him.

    He swung his saber, unleashing two bursts of his S-tier ability. The Skeletal Sovereign seemed to have been weakened as he kept battering it with attacks, chopping off all the corpses that surrounded the Sovereign.

    Among the corpses, a ck crystalline skeleton appeared, and on top of its head was a crown iid with a ck stone.

    ¡°To me, seize him!¡±

    The Skeletal Sovereign screamed out in a fit of rage, the stench of death permeated the air and spread out more than ten thousand meters.

    Countless skeletons and zombies, undead of all manner of strength no matter big or small charged toward their direction. All directed to kill Qin Feng.

    Fwoosh!

    The ground was tossed aside as it split apart and buildings toppled over. A huge ultra beast emerged.

    Qin Feng¡¯s facial expression did not change a single bit.

    The Skeletal Sovereign suddenly had a bad feeling and this time the surrounding space solidified and formed into a box.

    In this box there was only the Skeletal Sovereign and Qin Feng. The other beasts and zombies could not enter.

    ¡°One-on-one, it¡¯s only fair!¡± Qin Feng brought up the Verdant Emperor Saber and mmed it down.

    Bai Li was still in the aircraft, but the crystal ball next to her shone as she manipted her Spatial Barrier.

    In that enclosed space, the Skeletal Sovereign¡¯s unwilling screams were soon heard.

    The Skeletal Sovereign that had controlled Dead Silent City for over two hundred years hadpletely been removed from this realm.

    The space dissipated and Qin Feng was still standing in the center, holding the crystal core and the crown in his hands.

 Chapter 904 - Dark Crown

    <h4>Chapter 904: Dark Crown</h4>

    Qin Feng put the crown on his head although he did not like the exaggerated look of it. Upon wearing it, skeletons and zombies in the surrounding stopped their movements.

    Qin Feng activated the crown with his consciousness.

    ¡°Wrah!¡±

    All zombies faced toward Qin Feng in synchronized movements and worshiped him, even the skeletons were lying prostrate.

    At the same moment, several hundreds of others came from afar. They were led by the son of Armored Giant¡ªGese.

    They braced themselves ining near as they sensed the disappeared presence of the dead Skeletal Sovereign.

    Due to the situation earlier, they did not manage to witness the death of Armored Giant.

    ¡°Father!¡± Gese instantly shouted like the sky was falling. Despite being an A-tier dark ability user, he was still far away from achieving S-tier. If his father really died, his movements in the Meherz Empire would be greatly restricted.

    After all, regardless of whether it was Armored Giant or himself, they had been lootingrge amounts of resources at all cost.

    Qin Feng did not know much about the Meherz Empire before his rebirth, and he was not aware whether Gese was still alive at that time. But Gese seemed to be at least thirty-five years old and had matured with a facade of grandeur. Qin Feng did not intend tofort him and was about to leave.

    However, obviously those people would not allow Qin Feng to get away.

    ¡°Put down the Dark Crown!¡± Gese wiped away his tears andmanded as he looked at Qin Feng from the back.

    Qin Feng halted his footsteps and looked at Gese from the side.

    ¡°Are you talking to me?¡±

    ¡°Stop the nonsense, isn¡¯t that the Dark Crown that you are wearing? It does not belong to you, put it down. Else, you will be hunted by the entire Meherz Empire!¡± Gese warned.

    Qin Feng was not in battle mode and only revealed his A-tier presence. Furthermore, he looked way too young.

    In the Meherz Empire, everyone had a tough and stocky build. Qin Feng looked just like an underage boy to them.

    With such an appearance, it was difficult for them to rte Qin Feng to the previous powerful figure. Maybe the killer who had killed the Skeletal Sovereign had left, or the Skeletal Sovereign, Armored Giant and the powerful figure had all died.

    Hence, Gese assumed that Qin Feng was one of them, it was just that he had arrived there earlier.

    ¡°Are you sure you are talking to me, and that your stance represents the entire Meherz Empire?¡±

    ¡°Of course, my father is a S-tier!¡±

    ¡°Your father is already dead!¡± Qin Feng relentlessly poked the wound of his opponent. He did not care at all as he was not rted to Gese at all. He was such a grown man but still shamelessly took pride in his father¡¯s achievements.

    But that sentence had obviously angered Gese!

    ¡°You deserve to die!!! Kill him!¡± Gese roared in anger.

    He was apanied by more than ten A-tier aptitude users so it should not be a problem for them to gang up against Qin Feng.

    But in the next moment, they were shocked by horrifying energy fluctuations that suddenly appeared around Qin Feng. Behind him, there were nine frozen stars that appeared one after another. Glorious rainbow-colored radiances appeared like they had been refracted through diamonds, and the magnificent scene was also apanied by an intimidating presence from a powerful figure.

    They were struck by the horrifying presence, and it was much stronger than when Armored Giant was alive.

    The forceful presence pressured those A-tier aptitude users that were itching to act, they were struck dumb and stood still instead.

    ¡°Come again? You want to kill me?¡±

    Qin Feng repeated the question with a casual tone.

    At that moment, no way would Gese dare to answer that question.

    ¡°No, no!¡±

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Qin Feng let out a disgusted hum. The reaction was like a deadened thunder that exploded by the ears of everyone around!

    Thump thump!

    The aptitude users could no longer withstand the presence anymore, and all of them kneeled down together.

    Even their backs were pressed down and they could only lie prostrate on the ground.

    ¡°You bet!¡± Qin Feng let out a cold sneer and walked forward, but his shadow rose higher and higher. Only then, they were surprised by the presence of an aircraft in the sky. It was an unfamiliar model to them, and they had never seen it before.

    Qin Feng entered the aircraft and did not want to waste his time with them, he then left the ce.

    The Meherz Empire was actually embedded with a lot of concealed talents, simr to the Huaxia Alliance that had its long history and myths. Perhaps before the A.C Calendar, there was a presence of unique powerful figures, top-tier SS or SSS figures. Qin Feng did not want to draw too much attention.

    As soon as Qin Feng had left, Gese gathered the spatial rune equipment of Armored Giant with dissatisfaction. Hemanded in anger, ¡°He must be from the Eastern hemisphere of the, go find out who this person actually is!¡±

    Those B-tier aptitude users were like silenced crickets that were shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s aura that was even greater than Armored Giant. Even though Qin Feng had already left, they were still fearful of him. They were afraid of triggering such a powerful figure or making any defamations behind his back.

    However, those A-tier aptitude users were driven by their own ulterior motives. Since Armored Giant had died, Gese was no longer qualified tomand them anymore.

    Being in an infuriated state, Gese did not notice the intentions of the others. But without the presence of the Skeletal Sovereign, the city was in an extremely dangerous situation. If there was another attack from an A-tier beast emperor, all of them would bepletely annihted.

    Without any choice, Gese could only hold back the cursing and lead everyone away from the location.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng had already returned to the Huaxia Alliance.

    Upon his return, Qin Feng re-entered into seclusion again. The Skeletal Sovereign core was absorbed, while the Hell Stone was excavated and absorbed into his consciousness realm.

    ¡°Too bad, this Hell Stone is too small. Also, the increase only has a marginal effect on my powerful ability!¡±

    If Qin Feng¡¯s capability were lower, one Hell Stone could absolutely amplify his dark ability by tenfold.

    Now that Qin Feng¡¯s capability had achieved A-tier deity ss, the increment was no longer the same. At most, he could only get double amplification while his abilities could almost achieve the same level as an S-tier.

    It could already be considered quite powerful.

    Upon the end of seclusion, Qin Feng exited and met with Xue Xingfu who had waited for him for a long time. He immediately began giving his report.

    ¡°President, look, should you return to the Blood River Realm again? ording to sources, the North African Republic Alliance is now in discussion about a peaceful division of the territory!¡±

    Initially, Xue Xingfu did not care much about things that were happening in the Blood River Realm. Located at such a far distance, the stretch was still too long even with the option to perform a spatial jump using aircrafts. Also, it was located within the North African Republic Alliance¡¯s territory and they were too irrelevant to ask for their share.

    However, Qin Feng did im his share, and it was a big bite.

    The crucial factor was no longer about the floating corpse materials from the ultra beasts, it was about the blood concentrated crystals!

    Such an item was vital for longevity and even the S-tiers were purchasing it at high prices. Xue Xingfu certainly knew about the lucrative profits from the trade, and a trader would definitely not let go of such an opportunity.

 Chapter 905 - A Share of the Cake

    <h4>Chapter 905: A Share of the Cake</h4>

    However, Qin Feng was already forced out once by He Tianxing earlier. Due to the Prodigy Tournament at Dragon Capital, his time was dyed further for more than two months. Without Bai Li¡¯s presence to defend, Fengli only managed to maintain its relevance with their formidable technology.

    Of course, the main reason was because He Tianxing was no longer there.

    ¡°What happened to Cleaves?¡±

    Being the most highly profited person in the entire Blood River Realm, Cleaves had defended the realm and be an S-tier. There was no doubt about hismitment toward the realm. But he was also second to none when ites to inciting problems.

    However, matters in regards to the Blood River Realm were indeed not handled appropriately since the beginning as Qin Feng was in a hurry to leave. It was necessary for him to make a trip back again to sort things out.

    Furthermore, with his current status, he would most probably already be excluded from the Spring Hunting Ground. Also, from what Qin Feng could recall, there would not be any major incident urring anytime soon.

    ¡°Well, then I shall make a trip there!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    Then, Qin Feng followed the main troops of the Fengli Organization and headed toward the Blood River Realm.

    Cleaves had invited the crowd to the region he established. The fortress was already built from steel and soil patches, and it was the most morous building avable.

    However, the presence of S-tiers was not seen and Cleaves had only invited A-tier aptitude users.

    Despite the vast fortunes thaty around the Blood River Realm, S-tiers would not station there for long term. Those who stayed were mostly A-tier aptitude users.

    Qin Feng arrived at the main entrance that was guarded by only B-tier aptitude users. The entrance was packed with a crowd that was moving around, but obviously everyone was above B-tier. Qin Feng was already equipped with his A-tier badge, and it had certainly saved him from unnecessary trouble.

    At approximately twelve noon, it was time. Every A-tier aptitude user had arrived and gathered.

    ¡°Close the door!¡± Cleavesmanded.

    High-tier aptitude users would not have inappropriate behaviour just because they had higher capabilities. Instead, they would adhere closely to the scheduled time as they all valued their own precious time.

    Those who were invited by Cleaves had arrived, of course there were also some that were uninvited.

    Cleaves stepped onto the stage andmenced the gathering, ¡°About the purpose of my invitation, I believe everyone is well aware of the vast undeveloped region within the Blood River Realm. All of us fought hard with each other for these ces, it would still be eptable if we were fighting the Dark Coalition. But recently I have noticed fighting within internal members of the Human Alliance, that¡¯s just utterly outrageous!¡±

    Cleaves stood up and said in a disapproving manner, ¡°Such acts are uneptable here; we should have fairpetition and divide the rewards among ourselves. Furthermore, we all serve the same S-tier master. Hence, fights like these should not continue on.¡±

    Cleaves¡¯ statement put everyone on high alert. They treated the beginning of the speech with total contempt, but the S-tier figure that Cleaves had brought up at the end of his statement forced everyone to pay close attention to him.

    If there was participation from an S-tier, they obviously had to shift their ns.

    ¡°Cleaves, what are you actually nning?!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, stop beating around the bush, just tell us what¡¯s on your mind!¡±

    ¡°If the conditions are eptable, of course we will give our support!¡±

    The crowd started to pipe up.

    Cleaves did not intend to keep his secret. A projecting screen was disyed, showcasing an area of tens of thousands of kilometres around the Blood River battlefield. Those were regions that were discovered by humans within the Blood River Realm.

    Everyone was shocked, they obviously did not expect Cleaves to have such a detailed map. But it had also clearly depicted Cleaves¡¯ wild ambition.

    ¡°Now, all of us here want to take part in the Blood River Realm. This map will be shared publicly to every powerful figure that intends to enter the realm, except for S-tiers!¡±

    ¡°Also, I will distribute this map today and sign a contract with joint affiliates. Anyone who breaks the contract will be sanctioned by everyone else!¡±

    ¡°Of course, those who wish to join inter for future developments will have to move their developments to other ces and we will have no say on that!¡±

    Nobody there was dumb and not able to see what was going on. Also, situations where everyone gets a share of the cake wasmonly seen inrge corporations.

    There were more than a hundred people in the crowd to share one cake. Only those who were present in the house would be eligible to get a slice, and those who came into the house from thereon would not get one. They would have to go to another house and bake their own cake.

    Of course, a self-made cake would not be better than a ready-made cake.

    Furthermore, not all ces in the Blood River Realm shared the same potential to have spatial ovep.

    Those who saw the map that Cleaves showcased nodded in agreement. Obviously, most of them were agreeable with the approach.

    However, there were some that had doubts.

    ¡°Cleaves, although this is amonly used method, how are we going to divide the territory?¡±

    Cleaves heard the question, and it was undoubtedly the most anticipated question.

    ¡°Let¡¯s divide it in ordance with capabilities as onlyrge corporations are capable ofing to the Blood River Realm. But A-tier aptitude users will be entitled to a hundred kilometre area each, S-tiers will be entitled to a thousand kilometre area each, and this will be applied to the entire corporation. As for those who do not belong to any corporations, they would have to be nominated by corporations to get themselves entitled.¡±

    Of course, those who were not associated with any corporations would only get a one-hundred-kilometre area.

    It might seem like a rather big area but for the A-tier aptitude users, an area of a hundred kilometres would not even make up to the area of a state in Huaxia.

    Before Qin Feng could voice out anything, the other people present burst into chaos.

    ¡°I have a good connection with Rowlyn Flora and Giant Helios. Considering the size of my corporation, I would have to get at least two thousand and seven hundred kilometres!¡±

    ¡°Do you consider that as a good connection? You have only briefly spoken with them, and you have been using that to your advantage for ten long years. That is definitely not your aplishment!¡±

    ¡°Why should we? Just because you have connections with an S-tier it doesn¡¯t mean anything. With my capability, I can easily handle five of them. Why should I not be entitled to five hundred kilometres alone?¡±

    ¡°How dare you disrespect an S-tier master, are you tired of living?¡±

    Obviously, it was not an effective way to convince the others.

    Qin Feng observed the crowd who were locking horns with each other with their red and angry faces. He was instantly humored by the scene.

    However, the chaotic drama would not end until someone stepped up to reinstate order. It could perhapsst for days and nights without any proper resolutions.

    At that moment, the crowd felt a sudden surge of horrifying presence that filled the surroundings. A shadow of a person slowly walked out from the stage where Cleaves was standing.

    Obviously, it was the shadow of a powerful S-tier.

    ¡°Is anyone dissatisfied with this suggestion?¡± The man spoke in a deep voice.

 Chapter 906 - Ten Attack Power to One Meter

    <h4>Chapter 906: Ten Attack Power to One Meter</h4>

    Those who saw that man were struck dumb.

    ¡°Fist God!¡± Those who recognized the powerful figure shouted in shock. Followed by the realization of their own mistakes, they were instantly silenced as they bowed down. Terrified like a junior student who was at fault!

    Fist God Gu Thai was a powerful figure from the North African Republic Alliance. Although not deemed as important as Long Ting, he was still almost equivalent to the snow region guardian from the Northern Region¡ªHu San.

    Obviously, he was there for a specific reason.

    ¡°I have approved the suggestion from Cleaves, there is no need to brag about your connection. I have seen more S-tiers than all of you. You may disclose the S-tier that has founded your corporation, or the position of the S-tier within your corporation. I will perform the evaluation myself. If there is none, adhere to the previous suggestion. Mission examination will be evaluated with the current standards and renewed every year!¡±

    Gu Thai made his statement and his eyes swept across the crowd. All of them bowed down and obviously did not n to refute.

    ¡°If there are no objections, then we shall carry on!¡±

    It was impossible for any of them to voice out their objections.

    Then, Cleaves began to carry on the examination. The first to be examined was a corporation wholly owned by Gu Thai.

    Surprisingly, it was called the Styx Corporation!

    Immediately, everyone frowned. The Styx Corporation was actually a newly established corporation.

    Also, the corporation consisted of Gu Thai and thirty-seven other A-tier aptitude users. Those aptitude users were all members from the North African Republic Alliance!

    Even Cleaves, Yefty and Gerald were included, also the Altaar Corporation, Gaia Corporation and Lightning Corporation. There were about seven to eight corporations of various sizes.

    Meaning that they were able to secure the most number of territories for themselves. ording to their level of strength, they would be entitled to the most resourceful ones.

    At that moment, everyone held back their anger and were afraid of showing it.

    After all, an S-tier was there preying on them, none of them dared to refute.

    It was a dinner with a hidden agenda.

    ¡®In the past, there was no Styx Corporation. Seems like my appearance caused some changes!¡¯

    Perhaps the major change was the speed up of people entering into the Blood River Realm, and also Cleaves not getting the major part of the benefits.

    Of course, Hellfire Ifrit Ayshan did not obtain the Divine me Imperial Robe.

    But the case of Ayshan was different from the current one.

    ording to statements from Cleaves and Gu Thai, from thereon, huge increment of A-tiers in any corporations would not add on to the expansion of their territories. Despite being the first person to encounter the fortune, Qin Feng¡¯s Fengli Organization only had one A-tier in their midst, and that was Qin Feng!

    Z was used by Fengli to draw attention. But in the end, they were only entitled to a thousand and one hundred kilometres. It was not what Qin Feng had wanted.

    With that thought in mind, Qin Feng then walked out.

    ¡°While it is not my intention to step on Fist God Gu Thai, I still feel that this is obviously an unfair approach!¡±

    Everyone was shocked by the appearance of Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness. Surprisingly, there was still someone that dared to speak up.

    Also, whether the intention was to step on him or not, the action of speaking up had already humiliated Fist God Gu Thai.

    Meanwhile, everyone looked in the direction of where the consciousness was channelled from and they saw Qin Feng.

    Cleaves was shocked and he trembled when he saw Qin Feng. He was still haunted by the fearful impression left by Qin Feng. As soon as he saw Qin Feng, he felt difort throughout his entire body.

    But soon, Cleaves felt the instant surge of joy within him.

    ¡®Qin Feng is such a fearless person. Fist God Gu Thai is a bad tempered person, yet he dares to speak up. Great, it would be great if he offends Fist God. He deserves a harsh punishment.¡¯

    Obviously, Fist God Gu Thai did not expect Qin Feng to stand up. Without any emotions, he held back the dissatisfaction he felt. But still, he had to retain the majestic grandeur of a powerful S-tier.

    ¡°What do you think, what would be a better way to achieve fairness?!¡± Fist God Gu Thai asked.

    Pressure from an S-tier secretly seeped its way through the crowd; some even began to tremble like they were about to kneel down.

    Qin Feng did not have any fear toward the oppressive pressure from the opponent and he did not react in the slightest.

    ¡°Simple, wasn¡¯t there an aptitude user who said earlier that he could take on five opponents at the same time? Let¡¯s take this to a fight!¡±

    The aptitude user that boasted about fighting five opponents felt the instant thump in his heart. He wished that there was an opening on the ground that he could drill into with his immense hatred toward Qin Feng. Why would he bring him into the fight?

    But nobody paid attention to the aptitude user. Everyone looked at Qin Feng, wondering what he meant.

    If it was a pure fist fight, could they win against the S-tier?

    Obviously, Gu Thai got what he meant.

    ¡°What a wild imagination!¡± Gu Thai mocked, ¡°You want to fight me?¡±

    Qin Feng casuallyughed, and answered without any fear, ¡°Both of us are from the Human Alliance, why should we harm each other. Let¡¯s do it the gentleman¡¯s way, why not go with the test machine?¡±

    Everyone¡¯s jaws dropped.

    ¡°We have such arge crowd, some of us are A9-tier, and some A1-tier. Obviously, A-tier is not a fair approach in terms of division especially for those who are more powerful. For a corporation, manpower means nothing. For me, I can easily handle five opponents. Even if all of you were to gang up together, perhaps I might still win!¡±

    Qin Feng was being straightforward. But the truth had obviously offended the crowd.

    Some of them still favored Qin Feng¡¯s approach earlier, but they were now angered by him.

    Gu Thai frowned as he pondered. With that being said, the crowd was unable to fight Gu Thai. Qin Feng seemed to have rebuked and offended him, but actually he had avoided putting him in an awkward situation.

    ¡°Tell me more, how do we set the perimeters?¡± Gu Thai ignored the others and asked again.

    Qin Feng went all out without hesitation. Since he had given such a suggestion, he obviously had his own ideas.

    ¡°Ten attack power to one meter, as simple as that!¡±

    ¡°Alright, ten attack power to one meter. I would like to see the output from all of you.¡±

    When facing a test machine, a new S-tier aptitude user could easily achieve five million attack power, S1-tier could achieve ten million. Although it would be a gradual increment, Gu Thai was already an S2-tier aptitude user. An ordinary punch from him could already output fifteen million attack power.

    Whenbined with secret skills, it would definitely be a piece of cake for an ancient warrior to output thirty million attack power.

    In terms of tenfold strength for a meter, thirty million attack power would be equivalent to three million meters, which was approximately three thousand kilometers. Hence, with the standard set by Gu Thai earlier, it would almost be the same output that Gu Thai was capable of.

    That was for an ordinary S-tier. But for an ordinary A-tier, it would be approximately one million attack power, equivalent to one hundred kilometers.

    The stronger the capability, the higher the amount of exchange. Certainly, it was the method agreed by all.

    There was no room for the incapable ones to voice out.

    The world would only honor powerful figures!

 Chapter 907 - This Machine Is Malfunctioning

    <h4>Chapter 907: This Machine Is Malfunctioning</h4>

    ¡°Anyone brought test machines? Bring them out!¡±

    These measuring devices were not something that could bemonly found on the market. However, these men here were all A-tiers¡ªso, they had a lot of rune equipment on them. Naturally, they also had some measuring devices that could be used to measure one¡¯s power.

    In a matter of minutes, five A-tiers had brought out their test machines while Qin Feng pulled out his much more sophisticated attack power measuring machine.

    After reaching S-tier, one could blow a whole city to dust with just a punch. However, these power measuring machines could absorb these men¡¯s power when they attacked them and then measure their power levels.

    Five power measuring machines were installed. They then registered their names ording to their organization.

    ¡°Sir Gu Thai, perhaps you could throw a punch at these machines for the Styx Corporation. Then, I could throw mine at the machine for the Altaar Corporation. When we do that, we could gain more territories!¡± Cleaves suggested.

    Gu Thai frowned. ¡°If you want to leave the Styx, you can always leave!¡±

    Gu Thai was already quite displeased when he heard that they wanted to divide territories this way. Yet, now Cleaves wanted to y games with him.

    If Cleaves wanted to gain territories for his own corporation like this, then who would manage Gu Thai¡¯s territories? These men were nning to use him to gain more benefits for themselves while he needed to handle the other S-tiers.

    There was no way he would allow that.

    ¡°Ah, I¡¯m sorry, Sir. I did not mean anything ill. Please don¡¯t be angry, Sir!¡± Cleaves quickly apologized.

    The other corporations did not say anything. They all thought that it was already a good deal for them having an S-tier on their backs. Besides, having too muchnd would stretch them too thin, making it difficult for them to manage theirnds.

    Gu Thai then unleashed his punch. He wanted to frighten the others and force them to quit. Thus, he charged up his internal energy while activating several of his powers and doubled the power of his punch.

    Thus, his fist, glowing with golden re, rammed onto the machine like a truck!

    Boooom!!!

    A shockwave rippled out around Gu Thai, pushing the people around him to the ground. The men who were standing further away too could not help but take a few steps back.

    Qin Feng squinted his eyes at Gu Thai. Indeed, this man was strong.

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep! Power Level: 39,000,000!¡±

    Everyone¡¯s jaw was rolling on the ground upon hearing the machine¡¯s report.

    ¡°Damn?! That¡¯s even more powerful than those guys by thousands of miles!¡±

    ¡°This is Gu Thai after all! He is so overpowered!¡±

    ¡°This punch could probably turn anything to dust!¡±

    Of course, the power level of a punch could not determine the exact range of Gu Thai¡¯s realbat prowess. The man had a few more tricks up his sleeves with years ofbat experience in him. Yet, due to how powerful his basic attack was, everyone could not help but to be impressed.

    Qin Feng too nodded his head. This Gu Thai was indeed a powerful man. He did not be the S-tier representative for the North African Republic by sheer luck.

    After Gu Thai had stepped away from the machines, everyone too came forward to measure their power levels.

    The A-tiers were already powerful entities themselves. However, their power levels were mostly around three million to nine million. No matter how hard they tried they could not reach beyond ten million. After all, even though A-tiers¡¯ attacks could reach one million, the most an A9-tier could pull off was just around five million in one hit.

    Right now, the only person who was uniquely different from the others was Qin Feng.

    This young man had been devouring energies when he was a G-tier, resulting in the energy in his body bing much more potent than others. Not only that, he had also devoured gaea crystals¡ªwhich then multiplied his powers by at least hundred times than they were.

    Right now, he had nine frozen stars in him. This would mean that his attack would be nine times more powerful than other S-tiers.

    After the others had finished their tests, it was Qin Feng¡¯s turn.

    ¡®My Asteroid Assimtion should be able to unleash power ten times its own level. My physical body is about on par with an A-tier beast deity. And I¡¯ve got nine frozen stars in me too!¡¯

    Of course, this was not just a simple multiplication. With thebined strength of his body and internal energy, it would mean one million times ten¡ªmaking it ten million more powerful than usual. And then, the Asteroid Assimtion and the nine frozen stars would multiply it by neen!

    This meant that Qin Feng¡¯s strength was already one hundred and ny million at minimum.

    This was so terrifyingly powerful!

    After reaching the S-tier, Qin Feng was finally an entity that could y an S-tier with ease.

    Although he did not have any skills and powers that were designed for an S-tier, his power level was nothing to scoff at!

    ¡®Still... if I go all out, this would make Gu Thai lose too much face. Perhaps I should not use all of my frozen stars. Hmm... maybe I¡¯ll just use 40% of my power.¡¯

    Thus, Qin Feng pushed out his palm in front of the machines.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion, Repulsion!¡±

    Repulsion could crush any living creature in a hit. However, due to Qin Feng¡¯s precise control, he did not unleash too much internal energy.

    Thud!

    Yes. A simple thud on the machines, making his attack seemed like a light shove instead of an attack.

    Yet, the machines¡¯ words were...

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep! Power Level: 40,000,000!¡±

    Everyone stared at Qin Feng in disbelief.

    Even Gu Thai was stunned with disbelief at first. Then, he red at Qin Feng furiously. Gu Thai finally understood why Qin Feng suggested dividing territories this way. He thought that Qin Feng only wanted more territories. He did not think that Qin Feng was a wolf pretending to be a sheep.

    Besides, by doing this, this would mean that Qin Feng was openly defying Gu Thai.

    In an instant, silence befell the scene as though the air had beenpletely frozen solid in the area.

    Honestly, if Qin Feng acted more humbly and dealt a thirty five million power level, Gu Thai would not be that pissed. However, he had dealt forty million¡ªa power level that was much more powerful than Gu Thai¡¯s. This would put Gu Thai in a rather difficult spot.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, did not think too much about this. He thought he was saving Gu Thai¡¯s face.

    Nheless, if things got worse from here, Qin Feng was not afraid to put on his gloves for a fierce fight. To Qin Feng, he was now an S-tier. There was no need to fear anyone. A coward had no ce in this post-apocalyptic world.

    Still, the others at the scene did not think he was someone who harnessed great power.

    ¡°What? This machine... is it malfunctioning?¡±

    ¡°Yeah... I guess. After testing so many times, they are nowpletely broken.¡±

    ¡°This machine belongs to him though! He could have done something to it to trick us!¡±

 Chapter 908 - Taste My Fist

    <h4>Chapter 908: Taste My Fist</h4>

    Everyone thought that Qin Feng had cheated.

    Looking at these men, Qin Feng snickered before striking at the machines again.

    Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep! Power Level: 40,000,000!¡±

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep! Power Level: 40,000,000!¡±

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep! Power Level: 40,000,000!¡±

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep! Power Level: 40,000,000!¡±

    His strikes were precise and collected, not wasting an ounce of energy. All of them came out with the result of forty million power levels!

    Seeing this, the others began to whisper amongst themselves, not knowing what to do next. Of course, they still did not believe Qin Feng.

    Still, even though Qin Feng¡¯s machine could be lying, the other machines were prepared by the others. There was no way all of them would lie for him.

    Seeing that this was his chance to get back at Qin Feng, Cleaves opened his mouth, ¡°Qin Feng! I know your Fengli Organization has developed a lot of super advanced technology! Is this one of your tricks?!¡±

    Qin Feng red at Cleaves coldly. This fool... did not he not have enough punishment from him?

    ¡°Then, what would you have me do?¡±

    ¡°Since Sir Gu Thai is here, and your score is higher than his, are you saying that you¡¯re more powerful than Sir Gu Thai? Do you dare to exchange blows with him?!¡±

    Qin Feng took a look at Gu Thai and asked, ¡°What say you, Mr Gu Thai?¡±

    ¡°Sure, why not? I am curious too just how powerful you are. I am just worried if you are too chicken to take a punch from me!¡±

    Gu Thai was eager to take on Qin Feng. If this young man was indeed as good as what the machines said, then he had no issues with him. However, if Qin Feng was indeed cheating, Gu Thai would not hesitate to crush this scammer to pieces with his fist.

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s do it.¡± Qin Feng answered.

    ¡°Get ready!¡±

    Gu Thai¡¯s body instantly glimmered with golden rays!

    If Qin Feng could really deal a strike that was about forty million, Gu Thai felt that he could unleash his attack without holding back. If Qin Feng could not take it, he would bepletely crushed.

    Booom!!!!

    Gu Thai unleashed his punch like a gust of hurricane!

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, stood there unfazed as he raised his hand¡ªjust like what he did to the power machines.

    Seeing this, Gu Thai got even more furious than before. ¡°You¡¯re asking for it, kid!!¡±

    Thus, he raised his punch¡¯s power in thest split second, making it much more deadlier than before!

    Booom!!!!

    Qin Feng¡¯s palm and Gu Thai¡¯s fist met!

    A ripple of shockwave was sent out to the surrounding area, blowing everyone off their feet and into the air before falling to the ground!

    ¡°Arrgh!!¡±

    When theynded on the ground, many spewed out blood.

    The shockwave was already that powerful... just how fearsome was the actual impact?!

    They struggled to get up with a hand on their chests, trying to recover their breaths, and took a look at the two men on the stage. Both of them were still standing there. Unlike what they expected, Qin Feng was not sent flying away. The young man was still there, not moving at all.

    It was then, some cracks could be heard from Gu Thai¡¯s arm before his sleeves began to twist and flitter to pieces.

    Silence befell the scene again.

    Qin Feng pulled back his hand and bowed to his opponent. ¡°I won.¡±

    Gu Thai¡¯s face was as grim as a ghost! He yelled out furiously, ¡°Bullshit! Here! Have another punch!¡±

    Then, a surge of power burst forth from Gu Thai¡¯s body. Now, his fist was overflowing with a golden aura! He hurled a punch forward, sending a powerful golden beam toward the young man before him.

    Still, Qin Feng seemed unfazed yet again.

    When facing He Tianxing, Qin Feng might still need to pay extra caution due to the man wielding a de. However, Gu Thai was just fighting him with his fist. As such, there was nothing for him to worry about.

    To him, Gu Thai was just ying with a toy gun in front of a grown man, who had a real revolver in his holster.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy shield formed in a split second, blocking Gu Thai¡¯s attack.

    Voom!!

    A loud gong sound could be heard when Gu Thai¡¯s fistnded on Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy shield.

    Gu Thai stared at Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy shield¡ªit was as solid as a rock. He had never seen a barrier as thick and sturdy as this one. By observing the internal energy shield, Gu Thai was able to determine that Qin Feng was not some mere A-tier. This young man was something much more powerful than an A-tier.

    Gu Thai, pulling a long face, lowered his fist.

    He would never yield to an A-tier. However, he had no problem admitting defeat to another fellow S-tier.

    Seeing Gu Thai like this, the others were stunned with disbelief. Some of them were even able to notice that Gu Thai¡¯s fist was wounded.

    Therefore, it was true that Qin Feng was as powerful as what the machines imed. He was so powerful that not even Gu Thai was able to crush him?!

    ¡°Mr Gu Thai, I hope this is enough to prove that I wasn¡¯t cheating?¡±

    ¡°Start assigning the territories. He did not cheat!¡± Gu Thai ordered before turning away and leaving. He had embarrassed himself enough; so, he did not want to stay here any longer.

    Witnessing this, Cleaves¡¯s tongue was tied to a knot. He could not believe it!

    It was then, Qin Feng red sharply at Cleaves. ¡°Can we assign the territories now?¡±

    A chill was sent down Cleaves¡¯s spine. ¡°Yes! Of course!¡±

    A few months ago, this Qin Feng was only as powerful as him. And yet now, he was already able to fight to a tie with an S-tier. This was too shocking!

    Then, he was a little hesitant when he was assigning the territories. Thankfully, the others from the North African Republic had started to assign territories themselves.

    It was the way the world worked here¡ªonly the powerful got more stuff. Since Qin Feng was the strongest here, he would be the first to pick. And he did not hesitate at all and imed the areas that had the most urrences of dimensional tremors. This would mean he had imed one-third of the whole ce.

    The Styx Corporation too had imed another one-third of the map.

    As for the others, they could only im the rest of the ce¡ªwhich were areas that were not as good. Still, they had gotten more than they could have bargained for in this meeting.

    After the meeting, many A-tiers contacted Qin Feng, wanting to rent his turf. Of course, Qin Feng rejected all of them.

    They thought that Qin Feng did not have enough manpower to handle that muchnd. They thought that he was just some mere A-tier who only had a few B-tiers with him.

    However, Qin Feng had recently returned from the Perished Lands. As such, he had something that the others did not know he had¡ªthe robots!

 Chapter 909 - Helian Mingjie

    <h4>Chapter 909: Helian Mingjie</h4>

    At the Blood River Realm, several airships had flown into view before releasing batches of robots.

    The robo-dog was acting rather quickly; with the aid of Chu Fan¡¯s research, he was able to manufacture a batch of fragile yet powerful robots.

    Thus, Qin Feng¡¯s turf was now filled with over three thousand robots from the Fengli Organization.

    Due to the fact that these robots were designed based on the Dark Armor Robot, they looked like humans. The men from North African Republic, when seeing these robots, did not know any better and thought that Qin Feng had so many underlings. Not only that, these ¡°underlings¡± were so hardworking!

    ¡°These people from the Fengli Organization... have they lost their minds?! They don¡¯t seem to care about their own lives!¡±

    An ability user gasped as he witnessed the robots dive into the Blood River to salvage the corpses.

    ¡°These people... they don¡¯t seem to emit any presence at all...¡±

    It was not that these ability users did not know about the possibility that these ¡°Fengli employees¡± were not human at all; yet, there was a huge difference of tech between the regions and many of them had never seen a robot before. As such, all they could do was watch and guess. Or else, they would not be so surprised to see these ¡°Fengli employees¡± beingpletely unfazed when the ultra beasts attacked them. These ¡°employees¡± were not only unfazed by the ultra beasts but also reacted with the most logical counter-attacks almost immediately.

    After assigning Wang Chen to the Blood River Realm, Qin Feng and Bai Li returned to the Eastern Region of their own world.

    ¡°Marshal Qin! You¡¯re here! I didn¡¯t expect you to actually visit us again so soon!¡± Tung Yang weed him with open arms.

    Well, of course Qin Feng would visit them again. It was Tung Yang who invited him again¡ªto help him to y the Hundred-w. Still, Tung Yang was not holding much hope. The invitation was sent out with a small glitter of hope that Qin Feng would respond. After all, Qin Feng was now someone of higher status than him.

    ¡°Oh, I¡¯ve participated and dealt a hand here back then. There¡¯s no way I¡¯ll leave things unfinished here, Regent Tung.¡± Qin Feng replied earnestly.

    Qin Feng was able to acquire the Glittering Gold Sand and Glutton here. Right now, he could acquire the Hundred-w and Siren Cherub. He did not know just how much these two monsters had evolved. There were reports that imed that the Hundred-w had evolved into a beast deity when it attacked eleven deep sea vessels. This attack had caused a great deal of loss to the Eastern Sea¡¯s ability users. If this kept on, they would not be able to take on the beast wave.

    Right now,pared to the Glutton Glutton back then, the Hundred-w was at least ten times deadlier.

    ¡°You have my greatest gratitude. If you need anything, feel free to tell us.¡±

    ¡°Alright. After killing the Hundred-w, I might need to have it imed as mine and use it to report to the higher-ups.¡±

    If Qin Feng only wanted money, Tung Yang could keep the Hundred-w and report this to the higher-ups himself, raising his record of contribution in the Human Alliance. However, if Qin Feng were to be the one who did the report, Tung Yang would have not much to gain.

    ¡°Oh, certainly. I¡¯m fine with it.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I think it¡¯s about time for me to upgrade my badge. I guess I¡¯ll send them a beast king¡¯s corpse too!¡± Bai Li said.

    Although Bai Li had already ascended to A-tier, she had not had the authority acknowledge it yet.

    Of course, hunting A-tier beast kings was not the job of an A-tier. As one grew stronger, the ultra beasts that they needed to take on would also get stronger too. As such, usually humans would have to work together to take on the ultra beasts that were on par with their ranks. So, if a B9-tier ability user wanted to ascend and get promoted, he would need to team up with four other B9-tiers to hunt one hundred A-tier ultra beasts. As such, Bai Li did not do this alone.

    Nheless, by having these ultra beasts in, these would already be counted as Tung Yang¡¯s achievements as a region¡¯s administrator.

    ¡°This time I¡¯ll bring along some people to help.¡± Tung Yang replied with gratitude.

    ¡°Sure, but there¡¯s no need for any of you to aid us when facing off the Hundred-w.¡± Qin Feng replied.

    The Hundred-w was different from the Glutton Glutton. Thetter was active under the sea; however, the Hundred-w was active on the sea surface.

    ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll stand back when it shows up.¡±

    Thus, Tung Yang summoned two A-tiers and seven B8 to B9-tiers to bring along the Glutton.

    Qin Feng knew who these two A-tiers were. Well, he knew them from the time before he was reborn.

    One of them was Lin Qiao. He was a middle-aged, veteran A-tier, not overly powerfulpared to other A-tiers but he was quite efficient inbat. He was a cautious man and would never participate in a battle that he had no chance of winning; this was also the reason he had a lot of underlings.

    Due to his cautious nature, there were very few casualties in every hunt Lin Qiao nned andmanded. Hence, people gave him a moniker¡ª¡±Casualty-less King¡±.

    The other B-tiers that came on board were not his underlings though. This was why Lin Qiao decided to just stand by and look in on this operation. In fact, he did not think that this operation had much chance of sess at all. Still, he was a man of few words. As such, he did not say much to object to this operation in respect to Tung Yang.

    The other one was Helian Mingjie. He came from a renowned ancient warrior family, aged around thirty five years old. He had recently ascended to A-tier and was considered a genius amongst his kin. Due to that, he was blinded by hubris.

    ¡°So, are you Qin Feng?¡±

    Helian Mingjie took a look at Qin Feng and his A-tier Marshal badge before a glint of envy shed in his eyes. He had never heard of any neen-year-old ascending to A-tier. It was quite unfathomable that someone could be a marshal at such a young age too.

    There was little news spread out from Dragon Capital in regards to why Qin Feng was honored with this badge. The only ones who knew the truth were the S-tiers in the Huaxia Alliance. As such, Helian Mingjie waspletely oblivious to Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities. He thought that Qin Feng was just a toy boy that Long Ting kept under her crotch.

    ¡°Before asking for someone else¡¯s name, perhaps you should introduce yourself first.¡± Qin Feng said.

    However, as Helian Mingjie was about to open his mouth, Qin Feng waved his hand and dismissed him, ¡°On second thought, forget it. I don¡¯t have time for this.¡±

    Qin Feng needed to head to the control room to attend to actual, proper work. He had no time to entertain some schmuck who knew nothing other than to be envious of others.

    This had angered Helian Mingjie.

    ¡°Just what do you mean by that, Qin Feng?!¡±

    ¡°General Helian! Watch your tongue in front of the marshal!¡± Tung Yang red at him.

    Helian Mingjie had recently ascended to A-tier. Although he was from an ancient warrior family that was on friendly terms with Tung Yang, the n was not led by an S-tier.

    Helian Mingjie did not think that Tung Yang would be angry at him and defend Qin Feng.

    Could this be because Qin Feng imed that he could kill the Hundred-w by himself?

    What a joke! No man could kill the Hundred-w alone! What a bragging jackass!

    ¡°I was just trying to be polite with Marshal Qin since we¡¯re going to work together. However, I didn¡¯t know that General Qin is such a difficult person to work with. Perhaps he¡¯s too powerful to see me as a person. If I had known this earlier, I would have saved my energy and not participated in this operation.¡±Helian Mingjie retorted with a slight threatening tone.

 Chapter 910 - An Opportunity to Learn

    <h4>Chapter 910: An Opportunity to Learn</h4>

    Helian Mingjie¡¯s words were clearly hinting that he would not help them at all now in this operation.

    However, all his words did was invite pity from Tung Yang. This kid... did he think that Qin Feng needed the help of someone like him?

    Still, Tung Yang did not want to say it out loud to embarrass the young man. After all, Helian Mingjie was still young, and he still had a lot more to learn and grow. He did not want to demotivate the young man.

    ¡°You¡¯re not here to help, General Helian. The reason I¡¯m bringing you out here is to give you some opportunities to learn.¡± Tung Yang sighed before following Qin Feng into the control room.

    Helian Mingjie was stunned and stood alone in the lobby. Then, he recollected himself and walked toward the control room. He wanted to see just what kind of joke Qin Feng would make himself out to beter!

    ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ll see what this Qin Feng could teach me!¡±

    Meanwhile, the Glutton was moving forward at a rather fast speed.

    It was spring. So, there were a lot of ultra beasts raging in the ocean. Although Qin Feng had killed so many of themst year, these monsters seemed to always find a way to recover their number ande back.

    It did not take long before the Glutton entered the red zone. Qin Feng gave the order to keep on moving without batting an eye. There were already several ultra beasts appearing nearby; however, they looked like babies whenpared to the gigantic Glutton.

    Thus, the Glutton kept on going onward, entering an area that humans had not explored before. The waters in the surrounding area were pitched ck, giving out an eerily terrifying presence.

    Roaaar!!

    An ultra beast let out a furious roar, warning the vessel to note closer. Then, it swam swiftly toward the Glutton, attempting to defend its own territory.

    The rm in the control room sounded as a red dot appeared on the radar.

    It was an A-tier beast general!

    Qin Feng connected his consciousness and controlled the half-flesh, half-machine Glutton.

    Roaar!!

    The Glutton let out a deafening roar, stunning the beast general. Seeing this, the beast general turned tail and attempted to flee.

    However, it was not fast enough.

    The Glutton opened its massive jaw, leading to the waters in the area flowing into its mouth. The beast general was forcefully brought toward the Glutton by the powerful water current.

    Crunch!!

    Then, in a single crunch, the Glutton had sunk its teeth and fangs into the beast general¡¯s body, prating its sturdy scales and body before sending a surge of dark runes into its body, rotting its body even further.

    Crunch! Crunch!!

    In mere seconds, the beast general waspletely chewed to pieces and sent into the Glutton¡¯s ¡°stomach¡±¡ªthe storage area of the vessel.

    After taking care of the beast general with ease, the Glutton kept on going.

    Witnessing all this, Helian Mingjie waspletely stunned. Then, he gave Qin Feng a belittling smirk.

    ¡°So what? It¡¯s just because you have a powerful vessel. If I also have a machine like this, I could be even greater than you.¡±

    Helian Mingjie looked around the control room in envy.

    Then, the rm sounded again.

    This time, there were twenty one red dots.

    ¡°Oh no, these are the Mountainous Tortoises!¡±

    The Mountainous Tortoises were beasts that were about six-floor tall, hundreds of meters in length. Although they did not stand a chance taking on the Glutton alone, if they couldbine their strength they might actually defeat it.

    Not only that, amongst the tortoises, there was also a three-hundred-meter long beast king.

    Seeing this, Bai Li said, ¡°There¡¯s no need to worry. Leave them to me. Oh, and remember to do a video recording of my battle. We could use it for my A-tier rank-up mission!¡±

    Tung Yang raised his eyebrow and wanted to suggest that she take down the beast king. However, before he was able to open his mouth, Bai Li had vanished into thin air.

    Lin Qiao, who was silent this whole time, was surprised too.

    ¡°This Miss Bai... is she strong? Can she take on the beast king? A beast king that has twenty minions around it?!¡±

    Even after witnessing the Glutton defeat the beast general, Lin Qiao still did not think that Bai Li could take on the beast king. After all, a beast king was much more powerful than a beast general. Still, Bai Li went out without hesitation. This had surprised him greatly.

    ¡°This woman has a death wish. If we were to anger the Mountainous Tortoises, we¡¯ll have no means of escape. Let¡¯s retreat now before it¡¯s toote!¡± Helian Mingjie suggested.

    Qin Feng coldly nced at him and said, ¡°If you want to go, just go. If you want to stay, keep your mouth shut!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m just stating the facts!¡± Helian Mingjie retorted.

    ¡°Stop talking.¡± Tung Yang spoke softly to Helian Mingjie. Now, he could not help but feel that he was making a huge mistake in bringing this brat along.

    ¡°Regent, Sir! I¡¯m saying this for everyone¡¯s good!¡±

    ¡°Stop talking!¡± Tung Yang raised his voice. The tone of his voice was not only stern but also filled with shame.

    Suddenly, a girl¡¯s voice could be heard from behind.

    ¡°For everyone¡¯s good? For what? What¡¯s wrong? Why are you fighting?¡±

    Helian Mingjie was surprised to hear that voice. He turned and saw Bai Li standing behind him.

    ¡°What? How... when did youe back?¡± Helian Mingjie was dumbfounded. He stumbled on his words when he posed his question to Bai Li¡ªhe intended to ask how long she had been standing behind him. It was very unthinkable for him to not sense her presence at all.

    Bai Li tilted her head and looked at Helian Mingjie curiously, wondering why he was so surprised. ¡°I was here the whole time!¡±

    ¡°Ah, I see. You did not leave to take on the Mountainous Tortoises then? That is a smart move, girl. Yeah, there¡¯s no way for you to take on so many of them at once. I thought we¡¯ve lost you back there. Good. If you want to rank up to A-tier, there are many other ways to do this. There¡¯s no need to act hastily.¡±

    Helian Mingjie spoke to Bai Li like a teacher, trying to teach her the ways to be an A-tier.

    Bai Li, however, looked at him even more curiously.

    Finally, Lin Qiao opened his mouth, ¡°General Helian, Miss Bai Li has already killed them!¡±

    Helian Mingjie thought he had misheard him. However, when he looked at Lin Qiao, he realized he was being serious.

    ¡°She did? Come on, this is not funny at all!¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s joking with you?! If you are too dense to read the room, why don¡¯t you look out the window and see for yourself?!¡± Tung Yang scolded, ¡°I told you to stop talking, didn¡¯t I? Have you not embarrassed yourself enough?!¡±

    Helian Mingjie took a look at the radar and saw that all the red dots were already gone. He quickly looked out the window and saw nothing but blood on the sea surface.

    Not even one minute had passed since he suggested a retreat.

    ¡°How?! How is this possible?! How did she kill twenty Mountainous Tortoises and their beast king in under a minute?!¡±

    It was then, Bai Li had sent the recorded video from one of the Glutton¡¯s terminals to Tung Yang.

    Tung Yang then purposely yed the video in front of Helian Mingjie.

    ¡°Well, perhaps it¡¯s also high time for us to do an inspection on Miss Bai Li¡¯s abilities. You two can be my witness of my grading.¡±

    This was one of the real reasons Tung Yang wanted to bring these two A-tiers with him¡ªto help rank Bai Li up to A-tier.

    In the video, the Mountainous Tortoises were swimming slowly and surely toward the Glutton. Suddenly, a white dressed girl appeared above them. She raised her hands and sent ten rays of silver beams into the water.

    Then, each of the silver beams burst into several dozen ck threads!

 Chapter 911 - Evolved Cherub

    <h4>Chapter 911: Evolved Cherub</h4>

    The silver beams continued to sprawl forward. The Mountainous Tortoises did not seem to be bothered by the white figure as they swam on unfazed.

    The silvery silky lights skimmed past the tortoises silently. They left no crack on them and disappeared into the tortoises¡¯ bodies.

    When Helian Mingjie began to doubt that the silver beams would have any effect, the tortoises were suddenly shredded into pieces. Even the seemingly imprable shells were dismantled.

    The ughter ended in less than ten seconds. Bai Li disappeared from the screen instantly and had probably returned behind Helian Mingjie right after that.

    Helian Mingjie was clearly embarrassed and baffled at the same time.

    ¡°So, what do you two think? Does she pass the test?¡± Tung Yang asked.

    ¡°Yes!¡± Lin Qiao nodded.

    ¡°This... Of course, she passed!¡± None of the previous candidates would have passed if such a performance did not.

    Helian Mingjie reckoned even he could not have withstood the silver beams. To be honest, he could hardly tell the ability used by Bai Li through the clip.

    After Lin Qiao and Helian Mingjie consented, Tung Yang passed Bai Li¡¯s qualification. He then took out a box and handed it over.

    ¡°Ms. Bai, I had this prepared beforehand. It¡¯s yours now.¡±

    ¡°Thanks.¡±

    ¡°How thoughtful, Regent Tung.¡± Qin Feng expressed his gratitude.

    ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Tung Yang replied with a big grin. Aspared to Qin Feng¡¯s willingness to return to the Abyssal Ocean, everything else Tung Yang did¡ªbringing along the examiners and the badge with him, was just a small courtesy. At the very least, his action showed that he indeed cared about Qin Feng. The test could still be carried out at East Sea Cityter on. But that would require Qin Feng and Bai Li to travel all the way there and Tung Yang wanted to save them the trouble.

    Bai Li took down her B-tier badge and pinned on the new A-tier badge. She looked at it, then looked at Qin Feng¡¯s badge. Without thinking much, Bai Li grumbled, ¡°Your marshal badge looks way better than mine. I should also get a marshal badge one day.¡±

    The words came out from Bai Li¡¯s mouth with peculiar certainty. Even Helian Mingjie, who had constantly ridiculed them, did not dare to talk back this time. He admitted, though reluctantly, that it would be a piece of cake for someone of her caliber to attain the marshal position.

    ¡®Why haven¡¯t I heard of someone so powerful before?¡¯ Helian Mingjie thought about it. But the more he pondered, the hazier Bai Li¡¯s image became in his mind. Though Bai Li was standing right in front of him, Helian Mingjie could barely call out her name now.

    ¡®Wait a minute!¡¯ A sense of fear struck Helian Mingjie. He finally realized how powerful Bai Li was.

    ¡®What an amazing consciousness masking effect. She is powerful enough to alter my subconscious thinking and impression. Thisdy is scarily dangerous!¡¯

    Helian Mingjie dared not look at Bai Li any further. Without purposely looking and thinking about Bai Li, thedy¡¯s image in his mind became slightly clearer. However, he could no longer recall Bai Li¡¯s face.

    Such an oue was enough to silence him.

    Qin Feng grinned mockingly as he looked at Helian Mingjie¡¯s bodynguage. Such an arrogant person was usually the one that conceded the fastest when they have met a far more dominant being. Tung Yang might tolerate him, but Qin Feng would not. Qin Feng wanted to let Helian Mingjie acknowledge his own inferiority.

    Though Bai Li¡¯s consciousness was indeed influential, it was not to the level where it would automatically affect the mind of those around her. The truth was, Qin Feng had asked Bai Li to do it, and he had taught Helian Mingjie a lesson.

    As he had guessed, Helian Mingjie was docile the rest of the way.

    In their journey after that, they met other giant beasts. Qin Feng controlled the Glutton to kill the weaker ones while leaving the tougher ones in Bai Li¡¯s hands. This allowed them to explore deeper into the sea.

    ¡°This is getting too risky. This is an area we have never ventured into before. We could bump into an S-tier sea beast here anytime,¡± Lin Qiao said with concern.

    It was normal to feel unsafe when exploring uncharted waters. Some more, Lin Qiao was the weakest among them.

    Not only Lin Qiao, but Helian Mingjie was also frightened by the unfriendly sea. Yet, he could not voice his fear as freely as Lin Qiao due to his pride. That, too, suffocated him.

    Not to mention the B-tiers on board. They now believed that the Glutton was actually a kamikaze squad on this trip.

    Tung Yang finally understood Qin Feng. ¡°I should have listened to you. Indeed, we are of not much help to you. Worse still, we are actually holding you guys back,¡± he said apologetically.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Let¡¯s turn back for now. The Hundred-w may be the sovereign in this sea, but it wouldn¡¯t be found so easily in this vast sea. Better luck next time.¡±

    ¡°I agree. Let¡¯s head back. Have other scouts continue to search for its trace. Inform us immediately once the beast has been found.¡±

    But in that case, the Hundred-w could have run away long before Qin Feng arrived at the scene.

    It could not be helped. When you pray for the beast not to surface, it would wreak havoc every other day. Now that they came out to hunt it, the Hundred-w was nowhere to be seen.

    Suddenly, the rm on the Glutton rang urgently.

    ¡°Sh*t! It¡¯s the Siren Cherub!¡±

    On the surveince monitor inside the control room, a giant baby could be seening at them.

    ¡°Don¡¯t panic. This vessel can block the psychic attacks by the Cherub. Its physical attack is also not powerful enough to break the Glutton.¡±

    Qin Feng did not expect to find the Cherub this deep. Since the Glutton was equipped with sensitive radar to survey the ocean around them, Qin Feng did not release his probing sense. Thus, they had detected the Cherub ratherte.

    Of course, he would not let it get away now that it hade to them voluntarily.

    ¡®Even the Cherub has evolved into deity-tier? If so, its core would suit Bai Li¡¯s appetite.¡¯ Qin Feng held his chin. He looked at the Cherub like it was a giant and juicy fruit.

    With his consciousness connected to the Glutton, the bio-machine moved responsively and bit on the Cherub.

    The beast was frightened and retreated. The attack had clearly upset the baby.

    A piercing cry spread from under the sea in visible waveforms. Unfortunately, such an attack had no effect on the lifeless Glutton. People inside the vessel were also protected by the Glutton¡¯s force field. Though they could still hear the wailing, they were not affected by its consciousness attack.

    ¡°For real? Its attack doesn¡¯t reach us?¡±

    ¡°The Glutton is undoubtedly the new king of this sea.¡±

    ¡°Marshal Qin, you really want to kill the Cherub? Can you really do it? The speed of the Cherub is still rtively fast.¡±

    Just when the rest of the eager passengers bombarded him with a lot of expectations and questions, the scanner in the middle of the control room rang frantically again.

    Numerous red dots wereing at the Glutton from all directions.

    These were all great beasts in this abyss.

    When they were within sight, Qin Feng found that their eyes were bloodshot but the beasts were not fighting off each other. Instead, they were all looking at the Glutton resentfully. It seemed that they were being hypnotized and had forgotten how scary the Glutton was. All they wanted was to bite the Glutton into pieces.

    ¡°It seems that the ability of the Cherub has gone to another level as well.¡±

 Chapter 912 - Slaying the Siren Cherub

    <h4>Chapter 912: ying the Siren Cherub</h4>

    The Cherub¡¯s previous ability was that its song could put its target to sleep; while its wail would drive other beasts crazy. As of now, it seemed that thetter had been upgraded into the maniption of other beasts to attack its target. That was a drastic improvement.

    Even though the Glutton was the sovereign of this sea, it might not survive being assaulted by so many great sea beasts at once.

    The number of sea beasts kept piling up. It had gone way beyond their imagination.

    ¡°Is this... a beast wave?¡±

    ¡°We are surrounded!¡±

    ¡°What should we do now?¡±

    The aptitude users on the Glutton began to panic. Among them, only those on the control seats remainedposed. They were all members of the Fengli Organization. These men knew Qin Feng more than the others. Worst case scenario, they still had Bai Li¡¯s spatial ability to count on.

    ¡°President, your order?¡± One of the aptitude users asked calmly.

    ¡°Retreat toward the surface. Fire at will!¡±

    ¡°Roger!¡±

    The gunslinger pushed on several buttons. A force field immediately glowed all around the Glutton. This could temporarily resist the attacks by the sea beasts. However, no force field would be powerful enough to sustain the attacks from so many beasts at once.

    Hence, the Glutton ascended to the sea surface rapidly.

    To the Siren Cherub, it seemed that the offender was trying to flee.

    Bawl!

    The Cherub urged the beasts around it. The bloodshot in their eyes intensified further. Not only that but some of the beasts had their power strengthened too. The sea beasts swam on hastily to catch up to the Glutton.

    Right now, even Tung Yang could hardly remain calm being pursued by a flock of agitated beasts.

    The next moment, being wrapped in a silver halo, Qin Feng appeared outside of the vessel.

    The camera on the outer shell of the Glutton turned to him almost immediately.

    Inside the deep sea, the internal force shield around Qin Feng was even thicker than that of the Glutton. Nheless, his figure was minute in the face of the giant sea beasts. His tiny body would easily be gulped by the beast with a single breath like nkton to a fish.

    ¡°When did he go out? Isn¡¯t he afraid of dying?¡± Helian Mingjie gazed at Qin Feng on the screen. He then turned to Bai Li and wondered why she did not go out instead. She would be of great help with her outrageous caliber.

    He got the answer not very long after.

    In the sea, a morous saber appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s grip. The seawater around him began to bubble as a result of the enormous internal energy emanating from the weapon. The ferocity of the saber stirred the water around it. Then, numerous spirits began to emerge from the saber¡¯s surface.

    Qin Feng swung his saber toward the iing beasts and took their lives almost instantly.

    World of Death!

    Qin Feng had learned this new barrier ability from the skeletal fiend. Dark aura danced in a lively manner and spread out with Qin Feng at its center. It infested all the beasts that had entered Qin Feng¡¯s death zone.

    Flesh on the beasts rotted rapidly and was washed away by the sea current in no time. The skeleton of the infested beasts remained intact and turned into an undead puppet.

    The puppets were no longer under the Cherub¡¯s influence. Instead, they turned to the other unaffected sea beasts with Qin Feng¡¯smand. Still, the number of undead puppets was rtively small and they quickly disappeared into the sea of beasts swarming at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was poised and he continued to brandish his Verdant Emperor Saber. More beasts sumbed to the Spirit Chain Rend and were infested by dark runes.

    The Glutton continued to elerate toward the surface. Qin Feng¡¯s figure became smaller and smaller until he was swarmed by the beasts. But soon, people on board heard the roar of a thousand spirits as Qin Feng re-emerged from the swarm imposingly.

    The seawater was tainted red, which quickly turned ck. Even the blood was corroded. Dark aura filled the entire sea region.

    Bawl!

    The Cherub was exasperated andmanded more beasts to chase after the Glutton.

    Qin Feng felt that the pressure around him had lightened considerably. He knew they were very close to the surface now. He could use that skill now.

    Rampage Influx!

    Qin Feng instantly went on a rampage. His speed increased rapidly and split the seawater around him in half. The great friction created by his high-speed charge created arge booming sound in the sea. He was now only about a hundred meters away from the Cherub.

    This was when Cherub finally got a good look at its enemy.

    Bawl!

    The giant baby wailed horrifyingly and retreated involuntarily. It finally recognized the devil in front of it.

    It scarred the Cherub when Qin Feng killed the Devil Mountain and snatched the Glittering Gold Sand from their hands.

    Besides, the instinct of the Cherub as a beast told it that Qin Feng was an entirely different monster now.

    If Qin Feng had remained the same person, the Cherub would not hesitate to open its maw and lurch at Qin Feng.

    Right now, the only thought it had was to run as far as possible.

    But Qin Feng would not allow it.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body went into another gear.

    Ramp up!

    Ramp up!

    Only Qin Feng¡¯s physique could have withstood the three sudden short bursts of speed.

    The speed boost propelled Qin Feng right to the Cherub¡¯s back.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber slit opened a three-meter wound on the Cherub¡¯s fishtail. Cut a little deeper and the tail would have been severed.

    Beasts that were chasing the Glutton had been called back by the Cherub. Now, they assaulted Qin Feng, frantically trying to stall him.

    But Qin Feng had no problem moving freely inside the sea with his enormous internal strength. He purposely stayed close to the Cherub so that the beasts could not attack him freely. He then triggered Phantom Shift and the beasts could only attack his afterimage heedlessly.

    As a result, more wounds opened up on the Cherub and it could do nothing about Qin Feng.

    Ra ra ra ra!

    With little choice left, the Cherub began to croon a soft tune. The wild bloodshot within the furious beasts¡¯ eyes gradually receded. They blinked mindlessly and went into deep sleep amid the hypnotizing tune.

    The soundwave of the tune did not reach Qin Feng as it was barricaded by his internal force shield. Even without the armor¡¯s protection, the luby would have little effect on Qin Feng¡¯s god-tier consciousness.

    Nheless, Qin Feng pretended to have his eyes closed. He rxed and floated freely in the sea.

    The Cherub was a merman so it could swim swiftly inside the water. Though there were a lot of wounds on its body, the Cherub did not suffer any other heavy injury other than the first cut.

    This was because the Cherub had seawater to protect its body. If it chose to run now, the Cherub could probably heal and get away to safety in time. But when it saw Qin Feng dozing off, the Cherub could not help its urge. It hesitated for a while, then decided to swim toward Qin Feng with its giant maw opened.

    Its sharp teeth could crack even the toughest shell. The tiny and transparent shield should not be a problem.

    But in the next instant, a glitter shone past its eyes. Its head was then cut into half by the merciless sh.

    Qin Feng opened his eyes and looked at the beheaded Cherub coldly. He extended his arm and a football-size crystal corended quietly on his palm.

 Chapter 913 - Long Tingâ€™s Request

    <h4>Chapter 913: Long Ting¡¯s Request</h4>

    The Cherub¡¯s tail was also cut off by Qin Feng. As for the top half, Qin Feng could not bear to collect a human-looking baby so he left it.

    ¡°Come out and hunt freely. These beasts are defenseless now!¡±

    Though the Cherub was killed, these beasts had been induced into a deep sleep and would not wake up for a long time.

    The Glutton halted its ascent. Below it was arge band of sea beasts waiting silently to be ughtered.

    The beasts werepletely defenseless. Everyone on board was jubnt seeing the easy prey and exited the vessel eagerly.

    When these beasts emerged in the sea, they were all once great monsters that struck fear in people who saw them. Now, they were just floating lifelessly around the aptitude users.

    At first, the humans worked carefully and quietly as they were afraid that the beasts might be startled. Soon, they became bolder as they realized no matter what they did or how much noise they made, the beasts remained deadly still and quiet.

    Hence, they no longer restrained themselves and harvested the beasts freely.

    Helian Mingjie noticed an A-tier beast king and approached it excitedly. He brandished his weapon but only managed to scratch its scale and leave a thin scar on it. The power gap was too huge. Helian Mingjie could not hurt the beast even in its sleep.

    It was like how an ant wanted to kill a human¡ªsimply impossible. The best he could do was give the A-tier beast king a tickle.

    Qin Feng swam toward him. Helian Mingjie¡¯s face reddened when he saw Qin Feng. Though Qin Feng had said they were free to dissect the beasts, everyone knew all these should belong to Qin Feng. Had he not threatened the Cherub enough and forced the baby to put these beasts into sleep, they were probably still in grave danger now, left alone being able toe into the water freely.

    Helian Mingjie already had a few A-tiers in his pockets before spotting the A-tier beast king. It was too greedy toy eyes on loot that was not rightfully his.

    More embarrassingly, he was too weak to im the reward and his action drew the attention of the true owner.

    Helian Mingjie wished there was a hole for him to hide in now.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I have to admit, I was wrong about you. You are an extremely capable fighter. I hope you don¡¯t feel offended by my previous ignorance,¡± Surprisingly, Helian Mingjie gave up his pride and apologized to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng thought he had heard him wrong.

    ¡®The arrogant Helian Mingjie is apologizing to me? Is this the same pompous man that I remembered from my past life?¡¯

    But when Qin Feng saw Helian Mingjie¡¯s reddened face, looking like a criminal waiting for judgment, he realized that the man was sincerely sorry.

    Perhaps, instead of shaming him, letting him realize the mistake that he had made was a better way to subdue the stubborn man.

    ¡°Alright. Apology epted. We should both let it go. Go and hunt the others. I will take care of this one.¡±

    ¡°Oh! Thanks!¡± Helian Mingjie quickly excused himself and turned to the other beasts. Before he could reach the next nearest beast, Qin Feng had already sliced the beast king into parts effortlessly. Helian Mingjie suddenly felt fortunate that he had only provoked Qin Feng with words, and thetter had forgiven him big-heartedly. Had he challenged Qin Feng to a fight, his consequence would be like the beast king.

    Though the battle between Qin Feng and the Cherub hadsted only roughly ten minutes, they took almost half a day to wrap up the rest of the monsters.

    Except for Qin Feng and Bai Li, thebor was carried on with lingering fear. Nheless, perhaps because the Cherub was roaming this sea, or perhaps the Cherub had summoned most of the great beasts within this region, no other sea beasts showed up during the process.

    When everyone¡¯s spatial equipment was filled, Qin Feng did not change his initial decision and continued on their return course.

    Everyone gained on this trip. Qin Feng had also passed the crystal core of the Cherub to Bai Li.

    ¡°I will assimte this inside my dimension. This crystal core would be enough for me to reach A1.¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s level had stagnated for some time now. A good opportunity for her to evolve had finallye.

    Having passed A-tier, the power difference between the beast deities would be minimal. But the higher tier would still be slightly stronger. More importantly, the only way to get closer to S-tiers was by leveling up consistently. S-tier was the pinnacle every beast deity wished to achieve.

    As for Qin Feng, despite absorbing the life energies from such arge mass of beast waves, he did not feel he was even close to the brink of upgrade. The amount he needed to level up was massive at this stage.

    After the Glutton had returned, Qin Feng went to the center to hand in his mission for the year. This way, he would be considered to have fulfilled his responsibility as a marshal.

    Unexpectedly, he still received a call from his superior, Long Ting.

    ¡°Marshal Qin! Great job! You killed an A-tier beast deity in your first hunt.¡±

    ¡°This is all thanks to Regent Tung¡¯s invitation.¡±

    ¡°Aspared to the beasts in the sea, the threat by those terrestrial deities is actually more pressing. Since you can deal with the ones in the sea, I reckon you will not have a problem taking one out from thend?¡±

    ¡°From the way you are asking, don¡¯t tell me you are giving me another mission?¡±

    ¡°Well, you are a capable man. Of course, it¡¯s all up to you. We are not allowed to reveal to the public what happened in Dragon Capital. Thus, you can actually use this hunt to aid your publicity. At least, those naysayers would shut their mouths once they witness what you can do.¡±

    The Dragon Capital invasion had been covered up by the authorities. Only a selected few had been informed of the whole incident. After the news that Qin Feng was elected a marshal broke out, a lot of powerhouses in other regions were not pleased. After all, Qin Feng was just an A-tier. The marshal position was usually limited only to S-tiers.

    Strong rebuttals came especially from those ancient families. They had eyed the small circle for a long time but never got the chance to enter it. How was an unknown A-tier teenager who came out of nowhere given it?

    If someone like Helian Mingjie was already giving Qin Feng a hard time during a mission, then it was not hard to imagine what would be the attitude of those more influential elects. It must be bad enough for Long Ting to make this call.

    Qin Feng contemted and answered, ¡°I have actually promised Regent Tung Yang to kill another beast. Once I hunt it down, I will publish the video.¡±

    ¡°Great! It would do me a favor to shut their mouths too. Come to Dragon Capital once everything settles over there, I will arrange a celebration banquet for you.¡±

    ¡°That would not be necessary. You know I don¡¯t like such asions.¡±

    ¡°Fine then. I am not going to force you.¡±

    After terminating the call, Qin Feng set sail again. This time, he did not bring along Tung Yang¡¯s men. Tung Yang tacitly did not send his men to follow Qin Feng either. That would only slow Qin Feng down, and dilute the loot that Qin Feng had no problem iming without help.

    ***

    Half a monthter.

    A clip with a high click rate became trendy on Huaxia¡¯s battle. The number of views had gone beyond five times the current poption on Earth.

    In the video, a man with a thick internal force shield who carried a saber came into vision. He stood courageously in front of a vicious beast.

    The beast ascended from the sea. Its body was not considered gigantic. The scary parts were its tentacles. Each of them was at least one thousand meters long. They twirled and twitched like dragons in the water.

    One tentacle could have sunk a vessel, or elicited a tsunami.

    A creature on top of the Abyssal Ocean food chain¡ªthe Hundred-ws.

    The atrocious creature¡¯s opponent was, surprisingly, a mere human.

    After a brief standoff, the Hundred-ws moved, and so did the man.

 Chapter 914 - Ill-Intent Ploy

    <h4>Chapter 914: Ill-Intent Ploy</h4>

    The human inside the clip brandished his saber at an imperceptible speed. He quickly severed through multiple tentacles of the Hundred-ws.

    But that was an insignificant loss aspared to its countless others that were still intact.

    It pounced toward the human from all angles, leaving little room to evade.

    Just when most of the first-time viewers felt that this was the end, the human burst into attacks.

    It was hard to tell how many times the human had swung his saber. Uncountable res shed across the screen, followed by the tentacles falling into the sea.

    The Hundred-ws shrieked either out of pain or fury. Waves high as the tsunami rolled up from the sea around them. But the attack did not seem to deter the man. His sturdy internal force shield could not be prated by the wave.

    The man moved in the air hastily. In the blink of an eye, he closed in on the beast and his saber once again exploded into blinding res.

    Along with each re, numerous spirits drifted out its tip. The spirits wailed as they charged at the monster. Instantly, numerous bite marks appeared on the beast¡¯s body, and the Hundred-w soon crumbled into pieces following the destructive attack.

    The video ended there at the ten-plus minute mark. It brought the world into a jolt.

    ¡°That creature, at that size, what¡¯s its tier?¡±

    ¡°I think it¡¯s called the Hundred-w. I saw the wanted poster and video of this beast when I visited the East Sea. I remember it is ssified as an A-tier beast emperor.¡±

    ¡°Was. This year, the Hundred-w¡¯s status was officially upgraded to a beast deity.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s impossible. If the beast is a beast deity, how could it be killed in just a few swipes? This is impossible even for an S-tier.¡±

    A lot of people voiced their doubts. But it was even more impossible to fake a video without being discovered using today¡¯s technology. The video had been verified and was real.

    ¡°Who is the person in the video?¡± More people asked.

    They would know the truth when they find out the identity of the person inside the video.

    Not many knew the reality, but there were also a considerable few that had witnessed the battle.

    Qin Feng stayed at the Abyssal Ocean for half a month and had been searching for the Hundred-w relentlessly. He even personally offered a bounty to whoever sighted the beast.

    This time, the Hundred-w had attacked arge fleet. When Qin Feng reached the scene, there were still several B-tiers and more than a hundred C-tiers who remained.

    That was how the video got to the public. It did not even include any video taken by Qin Feng¡¯s crew. That alone was enough to fulfill what Qin Feng had promised Long Ting.

    ¡°The man in the video is known as Qin Feng. I believe he is the president of an organization.¡±

    ¡°Is this organization still recruiting?¡±

    ¡°Is that true? I have heard about this Fengli Organization. They are a weapon manufacturer focusing on guns and aircraft production, right? I have never heard that their president is an S-tier ancient warrior. No wonder they have taken the world by storm.¡±

    ¡°The president of the Fengli Organization is only an A-tier. But apparently, he is in a different ss of himself. The guy reached A-tier while he is still just a prodigy.¡±

    ¡°He is not yet twenty? How did he do that so young?¡±

    ¡°Age is not the issue. He must be a transcendent talent that urs once in a century. That¡¯s the only logical exnation why he was able to ughter the Hundred-w this easily.¡±

    Aptitude users discussed and debated heatedly on the battle. Some even tried to analyze the art used by Qin Feng. Finally, a few elects with sharp eyes identified his attack to be the Spirit Chain Rend while his qinggong skill was Rampage Influx. Suddenly, these two arts became the most sought-after skills within the aptitude users¡¯ circle.

    The most amazing thing about Qin Feng was not how he achieved A-tier at such a young age, but that he managed to master two S-tier abilities simultaneously. It was absurd.

    The noise created on the battle was only a part of it. A lot of powerful aptitude users were upset when Long Ting honored Qin Feng with the marshal badge. Now, they had no basis to protest against it anymore.

    ¡°The head of a beast deity for a marshal badge,¡± Long Ting challenged them. She knew not many could do what Qin Feng did.

    This would somehow mute the voices of discontentment for a while.

    Naturally, Long Ting was extremely pleased with the oue.

    On themunicator, Long Ting could hardly hold back her grin. ¡°That¡¯s a nice video. Not only does it silence the doubters, but your dominance also provides a sense of security to the people. We humans need a hero. The Huaxia Alliance also needs a hero. Qin Feng, thank you for all that you have done.¡±

    ¡°This is my responsibility. It¡¯s my honor to carry it out the moment I receive the Marshal badge from your hand,¡± Qin Feng smiled and said, ¡°Of course, I couldn¡¯t say I did not gain benefits from it too.¡±

    The greatest benefit of all was none other than making the Fengli Organization more famous than it already was. The inner-circle had also been consolidated. Now, no one would be that stupid to leave or betray Fengli. It was led by a president that could kill a beast deity with ease!

    ¡°You deserved it.¡± Long Tingmended Qin Feng another time before hanging up. Qin Feng set the return course after the call.

    After Bai Li absorbed the crystal core from the Siren Cherub, she evolved to A1-tier as expected. Her consciousness only became more supreme.

    Qin Feng had also given Bai Li the crystal core of the Hundred-w. He hoped that the little fox could get to S-tier as soon as possible. To achieve that, Qin Feng would need more energy cores. But killing a beast deity was no longer an option, at least not in public.

    The first time might bemendable. But what if he killed more?

    When his achievement and poprity surpassed that of his superiors, what would they think? Would they still honor him earnestly with no qualm? Qin Feng highly doubted that.

    Hence, Qin Feng set his sight on another dimension.

    ¡®The most suitable dimension for me now should be Dragon Ind.¡¯

    Dragon Ind, or the so-called Aether Realm, was a massive ce. A tiny creature like a human could hardly survive there.

    But the S-tiers were all eager to explore the dimension despite the danger it posed. There were too many marvelous opportunities in there that could be of tremendous help to an S-tier.

    Moreover, there were multiple openings connected to Dragon Ind in the dimension Qin Feng was living in.

    Coincidentally, one of the openings was controlled by He Tianxing.

    The opening was hidden in none other than the Dark Citadel.

    Come to think of it, one month had passed since Qin Feng slit He Tianxing¡¯s throat. He wondered how the business in the citadel was faring now. It was time for him to show ¡°his¡± face.

    As such, he summoned Bai Li and informed Xue Xingfu that he was going on an expedition.

    ¡°Well, great timing. At least I know what to tell the overly passionate applicants now. You know what, even A-tiers are asking for a ce in Fengli recently!¡±

    Qin Feng knew this would happen. Like what Long Ting had said, the video had shaped Qin Feng into a savior. Like it or not, he now possessed immense influence.

    That was why it was not surprising that a lot of people hade knocking following his astronomical rise.

    ¡°Who contacted you? Let me see the list.¡±

    ¡°Here is the list.¡± Xue Xingfu sent Qin Feng a document. The applicants¡¯ names, CVs, experiences, and past battle records had beenpiled and listed neatly.

    Qin Feng scoffed as he scanned through the list. ¡°Reject all of them. We are too small an organization to house so many big names at once, especially when they have their backs on another huge tree.¡±

    These people more or less had a connection with other S-tiers. Their undercover was immediately blown in front of Qin Feng, a man who was living his second life.

    Joining Fengli was just a ploy. They certainly did not approach the organization with goodwill, which Qin Feng was sure of.

 Chapter 915 - Hapless Fire Phoenix

    <h4>Chapter 915: Hapless Fire Phoenix</h4>

    ¡°Okay, I will reject them all.¡± Xue Xingfu abided. He had already thought of a hundred excuses to deny their applications in his mind. The words used would be implicit yet irreproachable.

    ¡°You have never disappointed me. As for the B-tiers, you can absorb those you deem capable. Our business is expanding rapidly now. We can use some help,¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Alright, leave it to me.¡±

    Once the matters were all sorted out, Qin Feng headed south through East Sea City. Before he crossed the bridge leading into the Dark Citadel, Qin Feng disguised himself.

    The Dark Citadel did not look very different from a month ago. It was only February, which was still long before the auction wouldmence. Nheless, there were still a lot of neers entering the city to seek refuge under the Dark Coalition.

    Though the Dark Citadel belonged to the Dark Coalition, it did not mean that this was awless ce. In contrast, such an organized city that hadsted for decades must have its own unique rule of operation. Most importantly, the stability of this ce was owed hugely to the powerful man reigning this city, who could quash any retaliation even before it began.

    Fire Phoenix was sitting in her office and she leashed out a long sigh.

    Such helplessness had urred more often than not after He Tianxing was killed. He Tianxing was often away from the citadel even when he was alive, so this type of trouble was not new to her.

    However, at least she felt insured then. Now, the wait seemed to have no end. The anxiousness almost drove Fire Phoenix crazy.

    Thinking about the restless A-tier aptitude users only worsened her headache.

    They had not heard from the ck Alp Overlord for more than a month now. Many began to believe that the elect did not care about the wealth in the Dark Citadel after all. He had absentmindedly imed them under his wing and did not actually mean it. A few bold ones had even nned to run away from the Dark Citadel with their share.

    Fire Phoenix did not have this luxury. She was specifically named by the S-tier to stay and manage the Dark Citadel while he was away.

    ¡°Manager, the meeting willmence soon. Master Ming Hu is pressing for it. I...¡± Fire Phoenix¡¯s secretary was only a B-tier aptitude user. There was a clear handprint on his face. Apparently, he had just been pped.

    Fire Phoenix was infuriated when she saw the red mark.

    It was too much disrespect from Ming Hu to treat her man like this.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Fire Phoenix mmed the table and walked to the meeting room with the secretary. She barely missed the distortion at the dark corner of her office, where a figure in a dark robe appeared out of thin air.

    ¡°It seems Fire Phoenix is having a hard time.¡± Qin Feng had expected it. However, he would not havee to relieve her if not because of the Aether Realm.

    He did not have the slight interest to help a member of the Dark Coalition. Not only that, Fire Phoenix had exposed him to He Tianxing before and wanted him dead.

    If not because Fire Phoenix still had some use to him, Qin Feng would not hesitate to end her life.

    Qin Feng trailed behind Fire Phoenix into the meeting room. Strangely, no one around them noticed him. His dark ability had been enhanced dramatically through training, while also being amplified by the Hellstone. Even an S-tier could not see through his silhouette clearly now.

    The meeting room was fuming with cigarette smoke. Members of the Dark Coalition were unable to ess herbs like Dreamer and could only light lower-grade cigars. The cigarette smell muddled the air inside the meeting room, which suffocated the tiny ce with an unpleasant stink.

    Fire Phoenix frowned disgustedly. But this was how users from the Dark Coalition usually behaved¡ªruthless and unrestrained.

    Of course, when He Tianxing was still around, these people still disyed minimal respect even when He Tianxing was not present.

    They were simply unscrupulous now.

    Not only that but Ming Hu had taken the president¡¯s seat. Again, no one dared to sit on it when He Tianxing was still their head, not even Fire Phoenix. They usually sat on either side and left the main seat vacant during the meeting.

    ¡°Ming Hu, don¡¯t push it.¡±

    ¡°What do you mean? I can push even further. Do you want to try? Hehe!¡± Ming Hu measured Fire Phoenix¡¯s curvy body with a lewd grin.

    Fire Phoenix was enraged. ¡°You must be tired of living!¡±

    Fire runes sparked around Fire Phoenix. The extreme heat promptly vortexed around Ming Hu.

    An internal force shield appeared around Ming Hu to resist Fire Phoenix¡¯s raging aura.

    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s talk this through peacefully. Why fight against your own people? Stop it now, you two.¡± Another A-tier persuaded.

    ¡°Hey, I wish to talk in peace too. But thatdy over there refuses to cooperate. What can I do, Fateless?¡± Ming Hu said.

    Fateless was a well-known elect in the Dark Citadel. He gave himself the name not out of sentiment or a whim. It was simply because he viewed himself as a heartless businessman that only recognizes coins. There was no friend or kin in his world. Everyone and everything were just products with price tags. As such, he called himself Fateless, someone who had no fate with another human being in this world.

    He was a wolf in sheep¡¯s clothing. One could easily be tricked if not careful.

    ¡°If your peace proposal means embezzling the auction items, then there¡¯s no peace between us.¡±

    ¡°Fire Phoenix, stop being so stubborn. The Dark Citadel is in a power void now. If elects from Dragon Capital learn that our duke has died, they would immediately send an army here. These items would eventually be plundered then one way or another. Why don¡¯t we im them first?¡±

    ¡°You are already thinking about fleeing before the war even starts? You should probably leave now, coward!¡±

    Ming Hu retracted his lustful grin and put on a grim face. He red at Fire Phoenix and said viciously, ¡°Fire Phoenix, let me warn you. I am still talking to you like this because I am giving you face. If you don¡¯t appreciate it, my brothers and I don¡¯t mind getting into a war with you to im back what we deserve.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. We have been working painstakingly for the S-tier all these years. In the end, what do we get? I don¡¯t want to leave here empty-handed. I am not asking for a lot. Give me 5% of the total asset and you would not see me in the Dark Citadel ever again.¡± Another A-tier chipped in.

    ¡°Keep everything else. I have been taking charge of the mine near the maind all this while. Give that to me. That¡¯s all I am asking.¡±

    ¡°I want...¡±

    ¡°Split some for me...¡±

    It seemed that the thirteen A-tiers inside the meeting room hade to a consensus. They were determined to split the Dark Citadel¡¯s fortune.

    Fire Phoenix breathed heavily and angrily. Yet, what could she do?

    The worst scenario had arrived, inevitably.

    Phoenix could no longer control them, not with the name of the Dark Alp Overlord whom nobody knew of his origin.

    They were doing this even though some among them had witnessed how the Overlord killed He Tianxing. Apparently, they believed they would never see the Overlord in this Citadel ever again. Even if he did reappear, that would be long after they had disappeared with all the good stuff.

 Chapter 916 - Getting Rid of the Useless Ones

    <h4>Chapter 916: Getting Rid of the Useless Ones</h4>

    ¡°So if you all want to leave now and aren¡¯t afraid of the ck Alp Overlording for you, can you bear the fury of an S-tier?¡± Fire Phoenix calmly asked, perhaps, she was carrying out herst bit of responsibility!

    ¡°What S-tier, where? If there is any then can you bring him out? Fire Phoenix, don¡¯t go messing around. I¡¯ll say this again, that crap about the ck Alp Overlord? There¡¯s no such thing!¡± Ming Hu said, baring his fangs.

    In the next moment, internal force suddenly burst out of nowhere,ing in at an extremely fast speed. Ming Hu could not react at all as the internal force was driven right toward his head.

    Boom!

    Ming Hu¡¯s head exploded!

    There was no time for a reaction to defend himself at all, all that was left of this A-tier aptitude user was but a headless corpse left in the center seat.

    The grey matter that was expelled from the exploding head sshed onto the faces of other people, leaving everyone in a daze.

    In the next moment, fear gripped their hearts.

    They stiffly turned their heads to the direction behind Ming Hu where a man in ck silently appeared. Nobody had noticed his presence until he made his move.

    However, this person was now exuding a terrifying aura!

    S-tier!

    This was a frighteningly powerful being, the brutal method he had used also told the people present at the table this:

    He had just been provoked.

    ¡°Are the strengths of an S-tier worthless in this world? If I need to personallye over here and tell you what to do, then what¡¯s the point of me having you around?¡±

    Saying that, the man d in ck raised a finger and pointed at another person who had imed to have a very powerful ability earlier.

    ¡°If you want mineral veins, what does that have to do with me? You served the Sword Demon for so many years, you can have him pay your sry in Hell!¡±

    After saying this, pure internal force sted out from the finger.

    This was not some shy move, nor some ancient martial art.

    It was just simply internal force, but this internal force condensed and did not dissipate, as if it had substance, spreading out a powerful aura. It was not the internal force that was terrifying, but instead the pressure that prevented people from escaping.

    The person under attack widened his eyes as they were filled with horror. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to plead for mercy, but Qin Feng¡¯s movements were too fast and the internal force had reached the center of his brow!

    Boom!

    Another head exploded.

    This waspletely different from just now. What happened just now was unexpected, but now that everyone saw this man¡¯s attack, they knew that there was no escape. It was hopeless.

    ¡°The ck Alp Overlord!¡± Surprise appeared in the Fire Phoenix¡¯s eyes. She never expected the ck Alp Overlord to show up.

    ¡°He¡¯s the ck Alp Overlord!¡± The others were also shocked, but more so in a panicked sense.

    Some of these people had seen Qin Feng before, and some others had never seen him. Now, they had no doubt that he would be the one to decide who lived or died!

    ¡°If you want to take 20% of the Dark Citadel¡¯s wealth, do you deserve it?¡±

    With a turn of his finger, he turned to another aptitude user. He ignored the surprise in Fire Phoenix¡¯s eyes and the fear in the others¡¯. That was because to him these people were as good as dead. He did not bother talking to corpses.

    Whoosh!

    Internal force burst out into another beam.

    As soon as Qin Feng spoke, the man had already reacted. The energy on his body rocketed into the air and formed into a shield, but in the next moment that terrifying burst of internal force had already reached him.

    Pop!

    Without even slowing down in the slightest, Qin Feng¡¯s internal force punctured through the other¡¯s internal force. It did not even feel any resistance.

    This was due to the difference in the type of internal force, there was no way to make up for it unless the quality of the defending force was strong enough.

    And this person was not Qin Feng, nor a prodigy, just your normal aptitude user. There was no usible way in which they would have defended against an S-tier¡¯s hard-force attack.

    Boom!

    Internal force rushed into the head and then the force pushed outward, shattering the man¡¯s head. Bits and pieces sshed out like fireworks.

    Just as Qin Feng was speaking, he killed three people in a row.

    ¡°Master Overlord, please forgive me. Have pity on me and I will be your most humble servant for the rest of my life.¡±

    ¡°I have plenty of people who can do things for me, there¡¯s no need for people I can¡¯t trust!¡±

    Boom!

    ¡°Sir, Sir no! Don¡¯t kill me! Aaah!¡±

    Boom!

    Qin Feng, with an emotionless face, killed two more people.

    These two were the ones who were making the most noise earlier. He would not keep people like these around.

    There were eight people left in the room, all of whom were sweating profusely. Especially the one who was the most outspoken of the bunch, so terrified that his legs were shaking and his face as white as a sheet.

    He was fortunate that he seemed like a peacemaker before. In fact, what he really wanted was the Dark Citadel for himself. If he had said that out loud, the first person to have died would have been him.

    He was not sure if it was some nervous gut feeling, but after killing five people, he could have sworn that the ck Alp Overlord was looking directly at him.

    Now that this had turned out to be a bad situation, he knew that no matter how devious and clever his schemes were, there would be no way to challenge an S-tier powerhouse.

    Fortunately, it was only a brief nce.

    Qin Feng moved his hands and pped at where Ming Hu was sitting, corpse flying away and all.

    Fire Phoenix immediately understood the meaning and obediently ced a luxurious chair.

    He Tianxing was an unstable person, especially after being injured by Qin Feng, and was extremely violent. After having worked under such a master, Fire Phoenix had developed a razor sharp sense of observation and could quickly figure out intentions.

    Qin Feng was also satisfied with what the other was doing and sat down.

    ¡°Alright, now that the useless ones have been removed. You can continue with whatever it was you were discussing!¡±

    Previously, they were talking about how to split the Dark Citadel¡¯s wealth, but there was no way they could bring up that topic now. However, Fire Phoenix was very shrewd and started reporting the properties within the Dark Citadel and the profitable projects.

    These were indeed what Qin Feng wanted to know, but as an S-tier powerhouse he would not care much about them.

    ¡°So you¡¯re saying that there¡¯s nothing an S-tier aptitude user can use?¡± Qin Feng murmured.

    Fire Phoenix heard his question and immediately tensed up before answering cautiously, worried that she might invoke his dissatisfaction.

    ¡°There is, Sir. The Dark Citadel has gained a bunch of secret realms. One of the Hell Inds has an Ancient growing on it. Lord ck Alp might want to go take a look!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s interest was piqued. He remembered previously absorbing the element of wind which had been corrupted by dark energy. Maybe if he approached an Ancient he would obtain a Wisdom Fruit!

 Chapter 917 - Out to Get Sage Fruit Again

    <h4>Chapter 917: Out to Get Sage Fruit Again</h4>

    Fire Phoenix did not know what Qin Feng was thinking and quickly went on to talk about the profitable projects in the Dark Citadel.

    In the end, she hesitated and said, ¡°There¡¯s another ce, there is a spatial rift on a lone ind,st time the city- the Sword Demon often went there, and even suffered a serious injury from there once. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s in there.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes lit up, knowing that this must be the Aether Realm.

    Fire Phoenix finished exining everything and looked at Qin Feng, as if waiting for him to start making arrangements.

    ¡°Then, take me around for a look. Oh, also!¡± As if thinking of something, Qin Feng looked over at Fateless. ¡°Last time, someone useless was in charge of business, now it¡¯s your responsibility. I hope you won¡¯t disappoint me!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s words were pointed, obviously, this was a threat.

    Large beads of sweat appeared on his already pale face, but he let out a sigh. At least for now he would be safe.

    ¡°Master ck Alp, I will do the best in everything you¡¯ve assigned me!¡±

    ¡°I sure hope so,¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    He then turned to Fire Phoenix, in which she immediately understood what he meant. She then took the front, obviously taking Qin Feng to see those properties.

    The remaining seven aptitude users did not dare make any sudden noises, bowing down respectfully and lowering their heads, and were too afraid to even look at Qin Feng¡¯s back. Only when he hadpletely exited the room did these people dare raise their hands to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

    There was a pungent smell filling the air. After all, five people died here, but the atmosphere earlier was so tense that they all automatically ignored it.

    However, even at this time there was still a lingering fear.

    ¡°That was terrifying, just what kind of a person was that?¡± An aptitude user asked.

    ¡°No matter where he¡¯s from, better we don¡¯t provoke him.¡±

    ¡°Good thing we didn¡¯t create any trouble earlier or else we would be dead by now.¡±

    ¡°Fateless, looks like the ck Alp Overlord is optimistic enough about you that he gave you a job to do!¡±

    Fateless did not think this was optimism. He thought that this was a threat. The ck Alp Overlord was too terrifying. Dealing with such a person was like trying to skin a tiger.

    Perhaps saying that the regal ones were unpredictable was more appropriate.

    ¡°To be honest, the ck Alp Overlord is more terrifying than I imagined!¡± Fateless reminded the others.

    These people realized that Fateless had the wits scared out of him, just like they were. As such, they all just nodded.

    Fateless thought for a moment. Since the ck Alp Overlord had given Fire Phoenix full authority to act in Dark Citadel, he would not be given the duties of the other five dead people. The only purpose of him having done this was for checks and bnces.

    If the other party only trusted Fire Phoenix, Fateless thought that this was only a self-serving, powerful individual with no management skills.

    Trying to pull some tricks on a person like that might just work, but now that the ck Alp Overlord had proven to be more unpredictable than imagined, Fateless would not dare try anything and kept his little tricks to himself.

    Compared to the people who feared Qin Feng, Fire Phoenix had admiration and appreciation for him.

    If it were not for him, it would not just be the things that were messed up today. There might have been people conspiring against Fire Phoenix and she would have ended up dead.

    ¡°Master ck Alp, this is the Ancient!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at the unchanged Ancient and eximed, ¡°This is indeed valuable.¡±

    At this time, it was almost evening time. The sky was getting a little dark and the Ancient was already emitting a faint glow.

    He closed his eyes and started meditating.

    Meditation did not specifically require one to sit down cross-legged, he only spun his ability crystal core a few times. Due to the subtlety of his actions and his consciousness being more powerful that Fire Phoenix, she only felt a mysterious aura emanating from him.

    In the next moment, the Ancient exuded a shining white light, far stronger than before, even the fruit on it was shining.

    A crystalline fruit fell from the branches with a ¡®pop¡¯ and lowered itself down in front of Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Fire Phoenix opened her mouth wide in disbelief.

    She then quickly regainedposure, the ck Alp Overlord was an S-tier powerhouse after all and must be a person with great luck. Otherwise, how would he be rewarded with the fruit in such a short amount of time under the Ancient.

    They said seeing was believing and after seeing this, her admiration for the ck Alp Overlord grew deeper.

    Qin Feng looked at the fruit in front of him and reached out to pluck it out of the air. He was also very surprised but he kept it to himself. Nodding, he said, ¡°Not bad!¡±

    Putting away the fruit as he spoke, he did not expect that he would actually obtain another Wisdom Fruit.

    This meant that there would be another diamond ability core in his consciousness and he would have another ability to master.

    This was indeed very good.

    Fire Phoenix did not know what Qin Feng¡¯s thoughts were, only seeing how indifferent he was as he put the fruit away. She felt that the ck Alp Overlord was not any ordinary person and had more respect for him.

    ¡°Onward to the next ce!¡±

    Fire Phoenix took Qin Feng to look at the other properties. That being said, as a strong person having been around for so long, He Tianxing¡¯s assets were shocking.

    If Qin Feng was not the head of the Fengli Organization and knew the huge amount of wealth that the technology it produced brought, he would be ecstatic now.

    He Tianxing¡¯s wealth was ten times that of the Fengli Organization¡¯s current state. After all, the Fengli Organization had only been around for three years, it took time to umte capital.

    ¡°We will call it a day! Tomorrow, you¡¯ll take me to go see that rift!¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Fire Phoenix curtly replied, ¡°Sir, are you ready for some rest? I¡¯ve already arranged a ce to stay, it¡¯s a newly established manor.¡±

    ¡°Hmm!¡± Qin Feng nodded without saying another word. Fire Phoenix was indeed an excellent subordinate. When it came to this aspect, plenty of Qin Feng¡¯s subordinates had good judgment.

    Fire Phoenix quickly took Qin Feng to the newly established manor. There was good scenery, beautiful architecture, great food, beautiful women, everything one would want.

    ¡°I don¡¯t like crowds, tell these people to leave! You can leave now too!¡±

    Qin Feng was still wearing a dark helmet after all. If there were people around he would still have to keep his Dark Shroud up and he did not want to keep this up all the time.

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±

    Fire Phoenixplied with his wishes, thinking that this was a powerful man who was not a lustful individual. She felt fortunate, but at the same time a little regretful.

    After Fire Phoenix left, Qin Feng unfolded his cloak. Draped over one of his arms was a small fox. That was why Qin Feng only used one finger to kill people.

    The little fox in his arms yawned, stretched its back, shook its body for a quick moment before jumping off.

    In an instant, it assumed a human form.

    ¡°There are so many treasures here!¡±

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that he would own so many things! I already took them, do you want to absorb them now?¡±

    The treasure that Bai Li and Qin Feng were talking about was the A-tier beast deity crystal core.

 Chapter 918 - The Terrifying Dragon Island

    <h4>Chapter 918: The Terrifying Dragon Ind</h4>

    A-tier beast deity crystal cores were very valuable and He Tianxing only had three in his inventory. The crystal cores of other beast kings were piled up into a small hill and there was even an S-tier beast king¡¯s crystal core!

    With all of thesebined, they should allow Bai Li to quickly rank up.

    Qin Feng took them out and handed them to her. She investigated the crystal cores for a moment, thinking, ¡°If I want to absorb all these, I¡¯m afraid this would take a hundred years.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s three months, that¡¯s fine!¡±

    ¡°But didn¡¯t you say you wanted to go to that Aether Realm? He Tianxing was badly injured in that realm. It seems to be very dangerous, can you handle it?¡±

    Bai Li gave Qin Feng a look that said ¡®What would you do without me?¡¯.

    ¡°You should focus on yourself and quickly grow up! How could a man say he can¡¯t handle it?¡±

    Qin Feng booped Bai Li on her little nose.

    Bai Li pouted. ¡°Three months, that¡¯s a very long time. Won¡¯t you miss me?¡±

    Qin Feng stared at her, ever since he got that little fox, he never regarded her as a pet. She had always been the treasure closest to his heart. With how powerful she was, she was always one step ahead of him.

    Bai Li¡¯s intelligence and emotions had gradually improved, bing the one and only person who could influence Qin Feng.

    He sighed and gave Bai Li a hug.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright, no need to evolve then. Even if you be a little fox now, I would still protect you.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t need your protection. You¡¯re so weak, of course you still need my protection. Give me three months¡¯ time, don¡¯t go to the Aether Realm or whatever it is. Wait for me toe back and we¡¯ll go together!¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you!¡±

    Only then was Bai Li relieved, gulping down all of the crystal cores and storing them inside her own space before entering the Time Realm.

    Qin Feng had the spatial stone to that realm and could see Bai Li¡¯s state at any time. Bai Li could also appear next to Qin Feng whenever she left the realm.

    Seeing that Bai Li had fallen asleep after entering the realm, he did not follow what she had said to him, to wait for her to wake up.

    ¡°I can wait for anything, but the chance to grow in power is something I can¡¯t wait for. How could I fall behind?¡±

    The next day, Fire Phoenix took Qin Feng to a deserted ind out at sea; there was a barrier set up to prevent others from seeing this spatial rift.

    After all, this was a very important ce for He Tianxing.

    Fire Phoenix opened up the center of the barrier and led Qin Feng inside. As soon as he entered, he felt the energy inside wash toward him.

    The Fire Phoenix exined, ¡°The crack attracted our attention because of the high energy levels here that drew in many sea beasts, even breaking out into a few beast waves. So we came over to investigate, to see what¡¯s so different about this ce.¡±

    ¡°With such a huge amount of energy, the beasts inside that realm must have extraordinary strength!¡±

    The people from the realm Qin Feng was on became aptitude users due to the explosion of energy.

    A realm with more energy meant that it would naturally allow the existence of more powerful creatures.

    This had a strong rtionship with the energy in the surroundings.

    The two quickly reached the front of the rift and naturally there was nothing to see.

    ¡°I¡¯ll take a look inside, you can go back to the Dark Citadel first!¡± Qin Feng put on a curious expression. In fact, he was very interested.

    After all, he had never been here before his rebirth.

    ¡°Very well, be careful, Sir!¡± Fire Phoenix did not want Qin Feng to enter. Although, thinking back on the part where Qin Feng killed five people, the others would not dare attempt treason, so she did not say much.

    The most important thing was that Fire Phoenix did not dare stop Qin Feng¡¯s actions.

    Would Qin Feng¡¯s previous killings not be enough to teach them a lesson about offending S-tier powerhouses?

    Fire Phoenix bowed and left, and after Qin Feng saw that the other was gone, he stepped into the rift without hesitation.

    In the next moment, as if an eternity had passed, the power of space gradually receded and Qin Feng¡¯s perception recovered.

    What first entered his vision was a fluorescent ice blue.

    It was a cave but all of his surroundings were ice. It was not that the ice covered the cave. When he looked at it, it was all transparent. This was a world made out of ice and snow.

    ¡°The cial Mountain, it really is here!¡±

    This was not beyond his expectation because many S-tiers had entered the Aether Realm, and the first ce they always stepped into, no matter which entrance they entered from, would be a frozennd.

    In this ce, most of the creatures were Dragons and as such it gained the name Dragon Ind.

    Qin Feng suppressed his aura so creatures could not find him. He started to walk out of the cave. Due to He Tianxing having entered and exited before, there were traces of someone excavating here which had obviously been done by He Tianxing.

    Qin Feng followed the traces made and quickly walked out of the cier.

    A gust of whistling wind violently blew, it carried with it a vicious force which sted onto his face and caused him a burst of pain.

    This environment was extremely harsh, dozens of times more terrifying than the Cinderst Realm!

    ¡°Dragon Ind is really terrifying!¡±

    Not only that, just after Qin Feng was sted by the wind after leaving the entrance of the cave for a moment, he actually felt a tingling sensation on his fingers. This was frostbite starting to settle in, something he had not felt since bing an aptitude user.

    He quickly retreated into the cave and thought for a moment before changing rune equipment.

    He put away his dark cloak and dark armor, and instead put on the Divine me Imperial Robe.

    Once he was covered in red mes he left the cave. The wind and snow sting onto his face were still very powerful. As the cold wind blew, the mes of the Divine me Imperial Robe shrank and became dim but Qin Feng still felt that his body was warm and its effect was still great.

    He stepped into the snow, his consciousness was getting interfered by the storm and he could only stretch it out for a hundred meters.

    This was a powerful kind of suppression.

    After walking less than five hundred meters, he heard something roaring in the snow.

    A dark green creature gradually appeared in the snow-white world.

    This creature was not particrly huge, it was the size of a truck but it exuded a strong aura.

    ¡°A-tier beast king?¡±

    However, that was not the most terrifying thing about it. After he discovered the creature, it was as if he had opened a door as the sound of heavy footsteps gradually came from behind the dark green creature. One after another, ultra beasts stepped out of the billowing snow.

    Three, five, seven.

    There were a total of thirteen ultra beast emperors!

    It was obvious that they lived in groups!

    Not only that, behind them was an ultra beast that was two storeys tall that exuded the aura of a beast deity.

    This creature was the dominant force of this icy mountain, the Demonscale Drake!

    ¡°Can¡¯t mess with that!¡±

    Qin Feng made his decision in an instant.

 Chapter 919 - Battling the Beast Pack

    <h4>Chapter 919: Battling the Beast Pack</h4>

    However, the Demonscale Drakes also saw Qin Feng. While they were a hundred meters away, for beast deities or beast emperors, closing the distance was just a step away.

    Danger!

    The hairs on Qin Feng¡¯s body all stood up on ends.

    Flee!

    He quickly started to retreat!

    This was not the time or ce to start running off in a random direction. The ice fields were filled with danger, who knew what terrible ultra beast would be hiding under it.

    Qin Feng¡¯s objective now was to make it back to the cave before.

    While it was only a few hundred meters away, the distance was a matter of life or death.

    ¡°Rampage Influx!¡±

    Qin Feng mobilized the internal force within his body, not daring to have any reservations as a frozen star manifested behind him.

    His speed soared and he became one with the wind in the blink of an eye. Trying to get rid of the Demonscale Drakes like this was obviously impossible.

    Boom boom!

    The footsteps of the Demonscale Drakes were very heavy, but the ice sheets here had been subjected to these icy energy storms so they were definitely not any average iceyers. Qin Feng could feel slight vibrations under his feet, but it also let him know that he had not shaken off the Demonscale Drakes at all.

    Soon, Qin Feng returned to the cave.

    The cave was a crack that He Tianxing had dug open, but it was more than two meters tall and one meter wide so it was impossible for the Demonscale Drakes to enter.

    Boom!

    The Demonscale Drake at the head of the pack mmed into the crack in an instant but its body was stuck at the opening.

    Qin Feng turned around, his finger condensing with the power of death.

    ¡°Finger of Death!¡±

    Whoosh!

    A terrifying force of darkness was sent out and instantly hit the Demonscale Drake!

    The rich life energy on the Demonscale Drake quickly started to fade away.

    ¡°Wraaaoooh!¡±

    The Demonscale Drake roared in panic, its front ws pushing forward as if it was trying to eject its body out of the cave, but the Demonscale Drakes running up behind it mmed into its body, causing it to get stuck even more.

    With this dy, the Demonscale Drake could not escape absolute death and the power of darkness pierced through its body and caused it to lose all of its lifeforce, bing a corpse.

    ¡°Dark Puppeteering!¡±

    Qin Feng used his dark ability to manipte the Demonscale Drake.

    Its body began to rapidly decay as a green spectral me appeared in its eyes, the aura of its body hadpletely changed. Qin Feng was about to use the Demonscale Drake to attack the others before he heard a long groan.

    It was the beast deity Demonscale Drake!

    In the next moment, the others¡¯ ws had already shredded through his corpse puppet, causing Qin Feng to lose his aid.

    Afterward, there was a clicking sounding from outside of the cave. The Demonscale Drakes were actually trying to dig their way in.

    While these ciers were special, the Demonscale Drakes would only take a few minutes before digging him up.

    He could not just sit here and die!

    Qin Feng had already drawn the Verdant Emperor Saber and poured his internal force into it before unleashing a terrifying attack.

    ¡°Hundred Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    In the roaring blizzard, the howl of the spirits were mixed with the roars of the ultra beasts.

    Under this sudden attack, the beast emperors did not manage to resist it and fell down one after another as countless spirits tore into their bodies and ripped through their extremely tough scales.

    Qin Feng rushed out of the cave, charging for the first Demonscale Drake outside of the cave and shing at it.

    Pfft!

    Blood sprayed everywhere as a huge head rolled on the ground.

    The Demonscale Drakes roared in rage as three heads came down to bite Qin Feng at the same time.

    Qin Feng burst with energy again as his internal force formed a bubble around him. However, it was already feeling the strength of the drakes.

    For a moment, sparks flew everywhere.

    These were not actual sparks, but instead energy sparks.

    Since Qin Feng¡¯s internal force had reached S-tier, nobody could shake his defense.

    However, if a group of A-tier beast emperors could actually damage the defenses of an S-tier ancient warrior then it was a clear sign just how powerful these ultra beasts on Dragon Ind were.

    Although they had only just scratched the surface of Qin Feng¡¯s internal force, it was enough to be a threat to him.

    Moreover, this was not just a group of beast emperors. It was a group of beast emperors and a beast deity!

    Qin Feng retreated into the cave again as another Demonscale Drake dove into the cave, trying to crush him.

    ¡°Hrrwar!¡±

    The roar of the beast deity came again and the currently attacking Demonscale Drake quickly withdrew. Qin Feng raised the Verdant Emperor Saber, only having enough time to sh at his attacker¡¯s head, removing a chunk off it.

    The Demonscale Drake roared but it managed to survive, albeit with a heavy injury.

    ¡°These beasts are pretty intelligent!¡±

    Qin Feng understood that this beast deity was extraordinary and very intelligent, otherwise it would not have ordered the other drake to retreat.

    With the situation at a stalemate, the Demonscale Drakes no longer stretched their heads and started frantically digging the walls of the cier to open up space to catch Qin Feng.

    ¡°Looks like I really have to fight!¡±

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    Hundreds of phantoms burst out and Qin Feng mixed into this host of phantoms as they rushed out of the cave.

    At this time, the Demonscale Drakes noticed Qin Feng¡¯s phantoms and roared as they readied themselves to attack.

    Although the Demonscale Drakes were the rulers of this icy domain, they relied on their physical prowess. While they were strong enough to resist the chilling winds of this realm, they did not have any power to manipte runes and as such could not see through Qin Feng¡¯s dark runes.

    Together with the beast deity, they all started attacking fiercely. With a swipe of their palms, the shockwave spread out and extinguished the phantoms Qin Feng unleashed.

    Usually Qin Feng¡¯s Phantom Shift would be able to unleash thousands of phantoms.

    However, this ce was a troublesome one and Qin Feng could only unleash a hundred phantoms.

    Moreover, these phantomssted much shorterpared to the duration they had back in his original realm. The energy storm here was too powerful and it was limiting Qin Feng¡¯s strength.

    But it was enough!

    ¡°Yaaah!¡±

    Qin Feng dashed around at high speed, no scales could stop the sharp de of the Verdant Emperor Saber. As long as the de managed to touch the body of a drake a wound would be drawn.

    Fortunately, the Demonscale Drakes were not massive and Qin Feng could directly damage their muscles or strike the bone, even cut off their heads.

    The blood dyed the snowy white ground red.

    In the blink of an eye, three bodies had fallen to the ground.

    Since the attack until now, Qin Feng had managed to kill off five Demonscale Drakes.

    ¡°Hrwaar!¡±

    The Demonscale Drake leader was furious and after quickly circling around, found Qin Feng¡¯s position before charging directly at him.

    Qin Feng spun around and quickly reached behind the Demonscale Drake. At this point, the leader of the Demonscale Drake seemed to be infuriated,pletely ignoring itspanions as it madly crushed everything around it.

    As a beast deity, it managed to crush a weaker Demonscale Drake in an instant and then a huge wave of force rushed over, pressing down on Qin Feng¡¯s strength.

    Crik-creak!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shield made a dangerous sound, as if it was about to shatter.

    Crack!

    His internal force shield burst open but Qin Feng pointed the Verdant Emperor Saber in the Demonscale Drake¡¯s direction and thrusted forward.

    Pfft!

    The de pierced through flesh and drew blood but then a wave of powerful energy knocked Qin Feng backward!

 Chapter 920 - Massive Blizzard

    <h4>Chapter 920: Massive Blizzard</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s body crashed into a cier before stopping.

    The cier suddenly had a human-sized hole smashed into it. Although Qin Feng¡¯s body resembled a human¡¯s, it was no weaker than a beast deity¡¯s.

    He immediately climbed out of the cier and saw the blood-red eyes of the Demonscale Drake Beast Deity.

    It had been driven into a fit of rage by him.

    ¡°Hrrawr!¡±

    The Demonscale Drake Beast Deity roared and rushed in his direction. With such a massive force barreling at him, Qin Feng was forced to dodge again. At the same time, the Verdant Emperor Saber caused a series of shes on its opponent¡¯s body.

    Woom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force burst forth again, enveloping him and keeping him safe for the time being.

    In this kind of battle, the exertion of his muscles and internal force resulted in his aura starting to feel heavier than before.

    Compared to him, the Demonscale Drake Beast Deity was not feeling so well either. It had several de marks on its body, all caused by Qin Feng. With its excessive blood loss, it was getting weaker and weaker in terms ofbat effectiveness.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    Qin Feng burst out again, avoiding the Demonscale Drake Beast Deity¡¯s next attack. The two had been locked inbat for some time and had gotten familiar with the opponent¡¯s behavior. The drake knew that Qin Feng would hide in the surrounding shadows beforeunching an attack to wound it. The drake would definitely not let him get another chance this time.

    The beast deity suddenly stopped and nted its feet on the ground, a terrifying burst of energy erupted from its body and several phantoms disappeared.

    These phantoms were too weak, which also meant that none of them were Qin Feng¡¯s real body!

    Just as the Demonscale Drake was still thinking, it heard a woeful wail.

    Qin Feng¡¯s real body appeared next to the body of another Demonscale Drake Beast Emperor and as the Verdant Emperor Saber cut down it almost severed the beast emperor¡¯s body.

    He had once again killed a beast emperor.

    Now there were only six Demonscale Drakes left in the pack, including the beast deity.

    At this time, Qin Feng activated his ability again.

    ¡°Dark Puppeteering!¡±

    Dark runes burst out and enveloped the six bodies on the ground.

    Five of them were the ones Qin Feng killed while the sixth was the one that the beast deity killed.

    Qin Feng used Dark Puppeteering on a Demonscale Drake earlier before but it was ripped to shreds in the blink of an eye, but now it was different from before. There were six bodies on the ground and there were only five beast emperors remaining.

    As long as Qin Feng dealt with the Demonscale Drake Beast Deity with the higher numbers then he would surely win.

    The six corpses got up from the ground, the blood in their veins coagting as their skin turned into a duller shade and their eyes lit up with spectral me. They roared and charged toward the remaining Demonscale Drake Beast Emperors.

    The ultra beasts were now distracted with one another and there was no longer anything standing between Qin Feng and the beast deity.

    At the sight of such a situation, the Demonscale Drake Beast Deity was seething with rage. The members of its pack who followed it were dead and had been turned into undead puppets, attacking their formerrades.

    And the cause of all this was the tiny human in front of it.

    Being infused with rage, its attacks became more savage, but it was impossible to kill Qin Feng in this way. They were not too far away from one another in terms of strength and Qin Feng was only just slightly stronger due to his S-tier internal force.

    As time continued to trickle by, after an hour in front of the cave, the five remaining Demonscale Drakes had also been killed and turned into undead puppets.

    Eleven undead puppets surrounded the Demonscale Drake Beast Deity and under Qin Feng¡¯s relentless ferocious attacks, the beast deity was finally in by his hand.

    Boom!

    With the death of the Demonscale Drake Beast Deity, Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength had a breakthrough again.

    He found it very difficult to rank up. After killing the three beast deities, the Siren Cherub, the Hundred-w and the Demonscale Drake, his strength had finally be A1 tier.

    Having eleven beast emperor level undead puppets would suffice, beast deity material was hard to find. As such, he ced the beast deity¡¯s body into his spatial rune equipment.

    Now that he had a small army of undead puppets, his courage had also increased. He nned on going out to explore again.

    At this time, the energy storm outside suddenly intensified and the blizzard grewrger. Wind and snow blew onto Qin Feng¡¯s body, even managing to blow out the Divine me Imperial Robe¡¯s fire.

    Not only that, the soul mes on the undead puppets began to dim and Qin Feng felt that his consciousness was blocked by the powerful energy storm. He was caught off guard by this.

    ¡°Can¡¯t go on like this!¡±

    Dark Puppeteering was a powerful technique that allowed the maniption of a dead body, but if an ultra beast became a puppet without any special enhancements, its body would disintegrate after use, leaving behind only an energy core.

    Previously, Qin Feng obtained the S-tier assassin God of Carnage from Kounsat which had been specially made. He did not have time to study it and did not have the materials to replicate its effects, now he had even less time to do so.

    ¡°Quick!¡±

    Qin Feng thought as the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand was stuck into the cier.

    ¡°Burning Sword re!¡±

    Qin Feng was going to use his martial arts to dig through the cier.

    Due to his defense earlier, the Demonscale Drakes were unable to break in. Now, he started to expand the cavern in an instant!

    Fortunately, the cier¡¯s entrance was only two or three meters away from the outside, and while its entrance was narrow, its interior was much wider. In less than two minutes, Qin Feng had opened up the cavern and let the undead puppets inside.

    The snow outside had eclipsed the sky. In just two minutes, Qin Feng could feel his consciousness continue to weaken as the soul mes on the undead puppets were about to extinguish and the bodies about to fall apart.

    ¡°Indeed this is a dangerous ce, but it¡¯s also full of opportunities!¡±

    Just after entering, Qin Feng had taken down a beast deity and twelve beast emperors. Normally, this would have been impossible in his original realm, especially when Qin Feng knew that Dragon Ind had a huge number of these Demonscale Drakes.

    But for normal humans, an S-tier was way too terrifying!

    No wonder He Tianxing got injured!

    If Qin Feng had not been reborn, even if he became an S-tier in his past life, he would still be afraid toe to this ce without thinking first.

    Whoosh!

    The blizzard was going wild outside, although the cier offered protection against the energy storm, the winds still blew into the cave and made Qin Feng feel the biting cold.

    Crick-creak!

    He heard a sound and felt a slight vibration under his feet, but at this time it was obvious that this was not the footsteps of an approaching ultra beast. Instead, this was a feeling of the entire ground moving.

    ¡°The cier is moving?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression shifted.

    This was the characteristic of Dragon Ind. Although the cier was considered as argendmass, it would get moved under the terrible energy storms just like a huge ind. When it collided with other inds it would result in massive beast waves.

    When encountering such a situation, one must remember that would be the best time to leave.

 Chapter 921 - Devoured Blizzard

    <h4>Chapter 921: Devoured Blizzard</h4>

    Qin Feng was capable of leaving the ce, but not with those eleven Demonscale Drake undead puppets that he was controlling, they were immovable. The ciers were separable, but the spatial rift could no longer be stretched further apart.

    Qin Feng could only remain in the cave, and he had gradually regained the consciousness that he had lost earlier. Surprisingly, there was a slight feeling of enhancement.

    ¡°Could it be that the positive energy blizzard is capable of enhancing consciousness?¡±

    There was a lot of uncertain information for Qin Feng at Dragon Ind.

    Afterall, before his rebirth, he was just an A-tier. He had only heard about the danger and horror of Dragon Ind from other A-tiers. But why would many still go to the ind?

    ¡°There must be something that I don¡¯t know, perhaps this might be one of it!¡±

    With that in mind, Qin Feng sat down with crossed legs and took out the Godwill As to begin practicing.

    Advancement of his consciousness spiked; it was more than tenfold of the speed in his original realm.

    ¡°Just as I thought!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s senses were still sharp enough. As the energy blizzard swept across, his consciousness was diminished and multiplied at the same time.

    It was like honing knives; the honing would remove rusts and the de would be sharpened.

    ¡°Oh right, I still have a Wisdom Fruit!¡±

    Qin Feng took out the Wisdom Fruit from his spatial rune equipment. As he had experienced it before, he immediately swallowed it without any hesitation.

    The Wisdom Fruit turned into a translucent diamond starglobe and floated around the biggest dark starglobe in Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness realm. It then formed into the fifth ability core of the realm.

    The little diamond starglobe was embedded with weak wind runes, but it would already suffice for Qin Feng to absorb more of them.

    The energy blizzard was still ongoing. Qin Feng managed to sense countless numbers of horrifying wind runes that were drifting in the eye of the blizzard.

    Qin Feng was instantly surprised.

    The drifting runes were the same as energy from the dead that was disseminated into the air. Both were absorbable by the Absorption Ability.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Immediately, a swirling vortex formed and centred between Qin Feng¡¯s eyebrows. Wind runes from the surroundings were all absorbed by him.

    Within a slight moment, hundreds of runes were merged into Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness realm. Then, embedded into the newly formed diamond starglobe. It was then stained with a semi-translucent green colour!

    The absorption continued while wind runes were constantly drawn in by the absorption. Soon, windblow in the cave calmed down. Despite the constant low temperature, the wind was no longer blowing and the cold became more bearable.

    But obviously, it had yet to satisfy Qin Feng. He stood up and walked toward the entrance of the cave.

    Whoosh!

    An array of horrifying energy blizzards covered the outside sky in a snowy white color, the windblow had piled up snow at the entrance and blocked it. If Qin Feng did note and the horrifying energy blizzard were to be allowed tost at its full scale, Qin Feng might only be able to excavate a small path from it!

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng began to absorb runes from the blizzard, meanwhile another source of energy had also merged into Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness.

    Consciousness enhancement was the initial attribute of the blizzard. Now that Qin Feng had directly absorbed something beneficial for his energy, his consciousness would certainly spike by leaps and bounds.

    Affected by the raging blizzard, even the ciers were shifted along. But nobody had noticed that amidst the destructive blizzard, there was a tiny figure that was absorbing energy between heaven and earth.

    The absorption ured in just a small scale, like an ant that was ced on top of a cake. Perhaps it could not consume much, and it might even drown and die in it.

    As the absorption was carried on, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness became stronger and more wind runes were drawn in.

    Gradually, Qin Feng was surrounded by a pale-green shield.

    The Windshield.

    Although it was unable to resist the freezing breeze from the surrounding area, it was capable of blowing away piled up snow.

    The wind was constantly drawing in new wind runes to Qin Feng for his absorption.

    Soon, a swirling vortex was formed in the centre of his eyebrows. Surprisingly, a tensile force had interrupted the wind blowing around, forcefully drawing them into an absolute absorption.

    The pulling force was growing more and more powerful!

    Vroom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness arrived at a new threshold.

    A1-tier!

    During the advancement, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was at the most sensitive state and all his senses were activated. It was as if he was able to break through the istion of consciousness due to the energy blizzard and ¡°look¡± at the scene from the outside.

    But on Dragon Ind, there was only endless snow apanied by an unending amount of wind runes.

    However, his ¡°vision¡± had prompted him to activate his absorption ability again. Massive amounts of wind runes formed into a giant and shrouded around Qin Feng.

    The initial formation of the horrifying blizzard was like an ongoing airflow that had lost a major part of it to a huge bite. The intensity was reduced, it became disordered and ran amok in all directions. It was then slowly chipped off and the speed of the blizzard was gradually reduced. Surprisingly, it had lost more and more of its majestic grandeur.

    Dong!

    A loud collision was heard. As if something was hit and the wind became weaker.

    The heavy snow stopped, and the sky turned pale blue.

    Qin Feng opened his eyes.

    In the consciousness realm, time passed by slowly. But in actual fact, Qin Feng was already out of the cave and he had been standing for an entire day.

    Within his consciousness realm, the diamond starglobe that was initially translucent had transformed into an absolute green. Furthermore, rune movements on it were more rapid andrger than the fire runes that he had been managing for a much longer time.

    The majestic power between heaven and earth had greatly surpassed the control of humans.

    Those fire runes that Qin Feng had umted for so long were iparable to one percent of the runes generated from a single energy blizzard at Dragon Ind.

    Indeed, Qin Feng had only absorbed one percent from the total amount of runes. But he had already controlled thousands and tens of thousands of wind runes, and the amount was only second to the number of dark runes that he had.

    ¡°Being equipped with wind runes, it is much safer to be on Dragon Ind. But it is still very cold. Without the energy blizzard, my consciousness is able to explore the surroundings. Not sure how long this willst, but such great weather is a rare asion here!¡±

    Qin Feng controlled the Demonscale Drake undead puppets and walked out from the cave.

    Despite the full day and night of rune absorption, Qin Feng was still fully energized. He could not wait to take on a full-scale hunt for kills.

    Furthermore, the deadening thumping noise earlier was definitely not a false illusion.

    ¡°It was most probably the collision between ciers, perhaps a beast wave might happen soon!¡±

    The blizzard had stopped and it was certainly a great opportunity for the ultra beasts to be out hunting for food. Unlike the shes between ultra beasts on the ciers, powerful ones would prey on weaker ones for food. Qin Feng was not even required to take action, and the vast energy avable around would already suffice for his absorption.

    The wind stopped, and every noise became extremely clear and vivid.

    It was at that moment, Qin Feng sensed battle noises that came from the front. Aside from that, an extremely familiar presence was also channelled along.

    It was humans!

 Chapter 922 - An Encounter with Hu San at Dragon Island

    <h4>Chapter 922: An Encounter with Hu San at Dragon Ind</h4>

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Fengmanded with his consciousness as he sat on top of a Demonscale Drake puppet.

    All eleven Demonscale Drake puppets grumbled in rampage and moved closer to the battlefield at high speed.

    There were traces of snow blizzards left behind at the battlefield. It was not the same as an energy blizzard, but it was some sort of ability.

    Ice ability user!

    Furthermore, it was a person that Qin Feng was very familiar with!

    From a thousand meters away, Qin Feng had already recognized that person.

    It was Hu San!

    Hu San was apanied by more than ten aptitude users. Among them, two were exposing their massive auras, they were undoubtedly S-tier ancient warriors. The remaining nine people were all powerful aptitude users that were above A8 and A9-tier.

    But the entire group was amidst a desperate escape.

    They were all chased by a bunch of ultra beasts. Their sizes were not too huge, but their auras were shocking enough.

    In particr, there was one creature that unleashed its S-tier aura without restraint.

    It was a white bear that was more than three metres in height.

    ¡°Dragon Ind Ice Bear!¡±

    Also, there was a pack of snow wolves of twenty. They were more than two metres in height and five metres in width. Judging by their auras, they seemed to be at the beast emperor tier.

    More than twenty snow wolves from the remaining pack were all beast king tier, and they seemed to be less intimidating if they were to bepared with the Demonscale Drakes!

    Two other beasts that looked like seals were not moving fast. But judging from their gliding movement on the snow, they were obviously equipped with snow abilities.

    Such a team formation definitely spelled annihting disaster for humans.

    Among those aptitude users, only those A-tiers were more powerful than the others that were within the same rank. However, how should they rank themselves whenpared to those ultra beasts that were much stronger?

    Rumble!

    A horrifying rumble was channelled from afar, while Hu San was instantly shocked by his consciousness that had sensed those beasts.

    ¡°What are those? Beast emperors? Eleven of them???¡±

    ¡°Will today be the day I die?¡± Hu San said. He was initially a person that was about to die, but a lucky encounter at the Blood River Realm had extended his life. All these years, he had been in deep sleep within the icebergs. His encounter on Dragon Ind allowed him to grow stronger by surrounding himself with snow and energy during his deep sleep.

    But his encounter in the realm had also gotten him injured during the first exploration.

    Now that he had recovered, Hu San¡¯s first thought was toe back again. He had invited another two powerful S-tier aptitude users to join the exploration. One of them was Beitang Gan¡ªchief of the Beitang family, an ancient warrior family hidden within the Northern Region!

    The Beitang family had been isting themselves from the world. The doomsday that took ce more than two hundred years ago had almost annihted the entire ancient warrior family. Every descendant from the second generation after Beitang Gan was wiped off, only the third generation from the coteral descendants survived. Unfortunately, their natural born talents were unfavourable and it hadsted until now. Some even said that none of the remaining descendants were A-tiers.

    Therefore, Beitang Gan had always been keeping a low profile. Although he was an S-tier, he did not want to draw too much attention to the n. If he were to die, the family would be a huge chunk of meat left to be preyed upon by the others and they would be incapable of defending themselves.

    But Beitang Gan still hoped that there might be some life-changing treasures that could transform the bloodline of his own family.

    Another aptitude user was totally different from Beitang Gan, he was a member from a family that originated from the Southern Region, and the family was flourishing at its peak. Even the regent of the region originated from the family.

    The former chief of the n from three generations earlier of the Nangong family¡ªNangong Zeming.

    To be precise, the correct way of addressing him was that the current chief of the Nangong family would have to address this man as his great grand uncle.

    All three of them were extremely powerful. But they did not expect the situation to be so dangerous and horrifying.

    As for Qin Feng, he had already obtained news about Dragon Ind before his rebirth. However, only now did Hu San lead the others to explore the realm.

    If it was not for Qin Feng who had provided Hu San with the blood concentrated crystal, Hu San might have only been able to lead the exploration half a yearter.

    Due to the unfamiliar situation and the unknown news about Dragon Ind, they thought that the snow blizzard that stopped was an opportunity for them to reactivate their consciousness. They even thought that it was a good time to strike, but they were immediately trapped in a surprising besiege as soon as they came out.

    ¡°Wait a minute, why are those ultra beasts carrying the presence of death?¡± Beitang Gan was the first to notice the presence of death. He immediately looked toward the approaching ultra beasts with his eyes wide open!

    ¡°What is that? Look, on top of the ultra beast, is that a person on top?¡±

    With his domineering dark abilities added onto those undead puppets, Qin Feng could certainly diminish those spying senses from the surroundings. But amidst the rescue, he did not intend to purposely hide his presence. Combined with his fiery red Divine me Emperor Robe, he was right under the spotlight, and Beitang Gan had immediately noticed that.

    ¡°How could someone else be here? Could it be humans from an unknown region? Not sure if that is a friend or foe!¡± Nangong Zeming channelled the message with his internal energy. But their running speed was not slowing down, and they did not want to get close to the presence of those beast emperors.

    Hu San received internal energy transmission from both of them and looked at the pack of Demonscale Drakes.

    At first sight, he had already recognized Qin Feng.

    ¡°How could this be?¡± Hu San¡¯s first reaction was not because he thought he would be saved, but he was shocked and in disbelief.

    While Hu San was still being doubtful, he took the leap of faith and yelled out with his consciousness transmission.

    ¡°Qin Feng?¡±

    The devoted consciousness had transmitted his doubts, he was afraid to confirm what he had seen. But soon, a simr consciousness transmission was returned.

    ¡°Master Hu, let me help you!¡±

    Qin Feng rushed past with the group of Demonscale Drake puppets and mmed head-on into the pack of ultra beasts behind them.

    His initial direction was not aiming for an impact with Hu San and the others, but toward those beasts behind them. Although they were still a thousand metres away, the distance was absolutely nothing for those ultra beasts in rampage. They would easily close the gap within a few breaths.

    Boom!

    A Demonscale Drake mmed hard on the snow-white giant bear. In the next moment, the Demonscale Drake puppet under Qin Feng fell back. It could not even maintain its bnce and fell seated on the snow.

    ¡°Such powerful energy!¡±

    Qin Feng was shocked.

    ¡°Be careful!¡± Hu San shouted. Within the next moment, ten of the remaining Demonscale Drake puppets rushed into the pack of wolves.

    Except for the wolf king, the other ultra beasts were definitely no match against the Demonscale Drake puppets and they were all torn into pieces.

    Thend of snow was dyed red. Then, eleven Demonscale Drake undead puppets encircled the gigantic bear.

    Despite the ipatible capabilities of those Demonscale Drakes against the powerful S-tier beast, it was outnumbered and instantly the tables were turned.

    Now, those ultra beasts were the ones surrounded.

    ¡°Hiss!¡± Beitang Gan inhaled and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Who is this? When did we get an undead puppeteer in our alliance? To do this, how powerful do the dark abilities have to be?¡±

    Meanwhile, Nangong Zeming was struck with a bigger disbelief.

    Nangong Zeming could not believe that the person was the same Qin Feng he remembered!

 Chapter 923 - Out of the Frying Pan and into the Fire

    <h4>Chapter 923: Out of the Frying Pan and into the Fire</h4>

    The Nangong family had been keeping close ties with Qin Feng to sustain the business rtion between them and the Fengli Organization.

    Nangong Zeming was told by his junior Nangong Shi about Qin Feng¡¯s existence, an uing strong talent that had even earned himself the first hero ss title in the previous year.

    Initially, Nangong Zeming felt that Qin Feng needed room to grow and advance to be an S-tier in the future. But it was definitely not in the near future, perhaps ten years, or twenty yearster. Definitely not now.

    However, from what Nangong Zeming had seen with his own eyes, he was absolutely wrong.

    Qin Feng had demonstrated control over the Demonscale Drakes and resistance against the S-tier ultra beast. Such capabilities had surpassed Nangong Zeming¡¯s expectations.

    Meaning to say, Qin Feng was capable of withstanding them all together.

    All evaluations from the past were no longer relevant. They had to dump all of those from their minds and reevaluate Qin Feng.

    It was a person that could share the same stage as Nangong Zeming!

    His capabilities had even surpassed imaginations.

    Qin Fengmanded the Demonscale Drakes into a circling formation in the battlefield to restrain the white bear.

    The white bear was strong and capable. Not only did it have sturdy and imprable muscles, it could even spit out freezing snow.

    Solidified from ability runes, the temperature of the freezing snow was several times lower than the temperature of Dragon Ind. If the dead Demonscale Drakes were to be struck by the frosty breath, they would be instantly frozen still on the ground. If human flesh were to suffer from it, perhaps they would be transformed into ice sculptures.

    Fortunately, it was just an ordinary S-tier ultra beast.

    S-tier ultra beasts would have stronger physical qualities than A-tier beast deities. However, their killing approach was much weaker than A-tier beast deities. Therefore, it wasmon to have an A-tier beast deity killing an S-tier ultra beast.

    But simrly, an S-tier ultra beast could also take on different approaches. They could be on the oppressive side and dominate the beast deities that were ranked up high on the ultra beast hierarchy.

    Despite the desperate escape that Hu San and the others had to take on, they were still able to sustain for such a long time, and it was because of the presence of the three S-tier aptitude users.

    ¡°The Verdant Emperor Saber has been evolved by a great deal, there should be no problem in destroying the defence of this ultra beast!¡±

    Qin Feng observed the battlefield; there were already three Demonscale Drake Beast Emperors that had been struck and transformed into ice sculptures. If he were to hold on even longer, the situation would be very bad!

    With that in mind, Qin Feng shielded himself within the newly acquired runes. It had allowed him to be as light as a feather and flow along with the winds, he no longer carried any weight.

    Qin Feng focused his thoughts and his body began to move. Without him noticing it, he was already behind the white bear.

    Being an S-tier, physical qualities andbat talent of the white bear were adequately strong. But as it turned to Qin Feng, he had already struck with his saber.

    The white bear raised its arm and wanted to block Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    However, the sharpened Verdant Emperor Saber sliced through the white bear¡¯s arm.

    ¡°Such powerful defence!¡± Qin Feng was surprised. Although he had chopped off the palm of the white bear, the contact of the sh was totally different from what he had experienced before.

    It had always been like slicing bean curd, but the sh earlier was rubbery. It felt like it was sticking onto the Verdant Emperor Saber. If it was not because of the amplified attack feature of the saber, it could have been stuck in between its flesh.

    Roar!!!

    The white bear let out a miserable shriek. Qin Feng¡¯s attack had taken down one of its arms, how could it not howl in grief?

    The other w instantly reacted and wed toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield instantly exploded, and he was tossed out like a rubber ball.

    ¡°No, protect Qin Feng!¡± Hu San instantly shouted and the others immediately followed up with a formation to besiege the white bear.

    However, they were not equipped with any powerful weaponries. When their weapons collided on the fury skin of the white bear, it was like slicing on metal coils and they could not even nick it.

    Only the S-tier aptitude users were helpful in the situation.

    ¡°All of you fall back!¡± Qin Feng looked at those powerful A-tiers. They were unable to help in any way, and it would be worse if they were to hurt themselves!

    Despite the dissatisfaction, the A-tiers could only fall back. Only three S-tiers remained.

    ¡°Let¡¯s enforce restraint and let Qin Feng carry out the main attack!¡±

    Only Qin Feng could enjoy such privilege. It was impossible for any A-tier to have three S-tier aptitude users set up the restraint for them.

    With the additional three S-tiers, it became even easier for Qin Feng to handle the white bear. Soon, the reliable Verdant Emperor Saber beheaded the white bear.

    Death of the S-tier ultra beast was followed by the dispersion of its majestic aura. Finally, everyone was able to exhale in relief.

    Hu San wanted to quickly express his gratitude toward Qin Feng. But at that moment, everyone realized that the situation had be worse.

    All of them raised their heads and looked up to the sky. A pack of drakes with snow-white scales had appeared.

    ¡°White Pterosaurs!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Those White Pterosaurs were obviously clustered creatures, there were seven of them in total. With their beast emperor presence, they had drawn a howling gale to take over the sunny and cloudless skies. Their flying trails then slowly formed into cyclones that rained down icy snow to the ground.

    Qin Feng and the others stood on the bare and widespread ground, and they were an easy target to identify.

    ¡°Quick, stop talking, get onto the undead puppets!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately said.

    Everyone else prioritized thatmand and climbed onto the undead puppets. Qin Feng raised his hand and stored all the dead corpses into his space as he hastened the Demonscale Drakes onward.

    The White Pterosaurs had definitely identified the creatures on the ground, and they were diving down fast.

    ¡°Cyclone wall!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately set out an array of horrifying runes to shroud around those White Pterosaurs.

    The White Pterosaurs were not beast deities but beast emperors. Although Qin Feng was not afraid of them, it was obviously just the beginning of the chaos.

    Perhaps the beast wave would grow bigger.

    Now that Qin Feng was no longer alone, he would have to at least bring those people to a safe location.

    The cyclone wall exploded like a small sized energy blizzard cyclone, and it was extremely horrifying. Even the White Pterosaur Beast Emperors were affected by the wall interference and could not control their movements.

    However, it would not cause any harm to them. In reverse, it would anger those White Pterosaurs even more.

    Qin Feng had already anticipated that.

    ¡°Double walls! Fire Wall, Skyfire Fall!¡±

    Qin Feng activated his consciousness again, and countless fire runes were released from his body.

    Confined within the realm, fire runes were suppressed to the maximum. There were not even any fire elements present in the air. But Qin Feng was wearing the Divine me Imperial Robe, and the Sacred me Meteor in the consciousness realm was fully activated.

    Qin Feng¡¯s fire abilities were amplified and the explosive energy was tripled!

    All of a sudden, a fiery ming cloud rolled out in the sky and the mes fell into the howling gale.

    The wind had amplified the mes. In the next moment, both elements merged together and formed into more horrifying mes.

    The sky was brightly lit, the cyclone formed into a fire tornado and annihted the White Pterosaurs.

    ¡°Ow ow ow...¡±

    The White Pterosaurs let out a miserable shriek. The mes were their biggest fear, and they were about to fan their wings and escape!

 Chapter 924 - Rune Equipment Crafting Again

    <h4>Chapter 924: Rune Equipment Crafting Again</h4>

    This terrifying me was fatal to the cold-blooded creatures on Dragon Ind.

    ¡°Hmph! Want to flee? Not so fast!¡±

    Qin Feng waved his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    A vast number of spirits then overwhelmed three White Pterosaurs, stopping them in their tracks. Four White Pterosaurs, however, were able to flee with their heavily injured bodies. Qin Feng did not have the time to pursue them though. He had sensed that there were more and more ultra beasts swarming out from the ice mountain. Some of them were quite powerful.

    Qin Feng quickly beheaded the three White Pterosaurs¡¯ heads and tossed them into his pocket dimensions before rushing onward. The Demonscale Drake quickly ran away.

    Qin Feng, of course, was not going to lead the others into the ice mountain¡ªthere was a dimensional crack in there after all. If these people were to discover the construction site of the Dark Citadel, Qin Feng would not be able to exin himself.

    Right now, he needed to steer them away from these things or else there would be trouble. Thankfully, there were a lot of caves in the ice mountain. As such, he quickly dashed into one of the caves, attempting to use it as their temporary base of operation for now.

    ¡°Go in!¡± Hu San ordered.

    After ensuring that everyone had entered the cave, Hu San used his consciousness and blocked the entrance with a gust of snow before freezing them up. The three-meter thick snow had beenpletely frozen into ice.

    Right now, everyone was safe.

    The seven A-tiers were already exhausted and worn out. They sat down and meditated, recovering their internal energy and consciousness. Thankfully, the energies here were much stronger than the ones found above. As such, even though they had used up a lot of their energies, they were able to recover quickly.

    The S-tiers had not used up too much of their energies. Therefore, Hu San politely introduced each other to everyone. Qin Feng was surprised upon hearing their names. However, he was able to quickly recover and shook their hands politely.

    ¡°It¡¯s an honor to meet members of the Beitang family and Nangong family.¡±

    ¡°The honor is ours, Marshal.¡± Nangong Zeming responded respectfully. He had turned aplete 180 after seeing Qin Feng¡¯s true powers.

    Although Beitang Gan knew who Qin Feng was, he did not know that he was a marshal. Still, it was not difficult for him to believe this either¡ªQin Feng had shown them that he was indeed someone befitting of the title.

    ¡°Youngsters nowadays are so impressively powerful. What a pleasant surprise! It¡¯s really nice to meet you!¡±

    After introducing one another, Qin Feng brought out the S-tier bear¡¯s corpse, ¡°We¡¯ve hunted this ultra beast together. Let¡¯s split the materials on it.¡±

    As for the other ultra beasts, Qin Feng did not intend to split the loot¡ªhe was the one who took them all down.

    ¡°Marshal Qin, this should be yours. If it weren¡¯t for you...¡± Nangong Zeming responded politely, showing that he did not want to im the loot.

    Qin Feng waved his hand and stopped him from saying further. This loot was not just any mere loot. It was the corpse of an S-tier ultra beast. There was no way he could keep this valuable loot to himself when someone else had helped.

    ¡°Mr Nangong, let¡¯s put that aside. We have indeed killed this ultra beast together. I can¡¯t possibly selfishly im it for myself. If you¡¯re feeling ufortable, we could divide it by taking turns. If there¡¯re not enough materials for everyone, we could always top it up with other materials.¡±

    Upon hearing this, Beitang Gan was even more impressed with Qin Feng.

    ¡°Well, you¡¯re right. And there¡¯s no denying that this thing is indeed useful to us too. Still, the boy contributed the most in taking this thing down. So, Qin Feng, you should take thergest portion of the loot.¡±

    Qin Feng took a look at Hu San. Hu San knew that Qin Feng did not mind the loot at all. However, it was important for them to divide the loot in a fair manner; if not, it would be difficult for them to work togetherter.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright. Qin Feng, you pick first.¡±

    Qin Feng took a look at the dead, white bear. He knew that the most valuable thing on it was its hide. Thus, he harvested it without hesitation. Of course, this bear also had a crystal core in it but the size of the core was rather small. As such, the core¡¯s value was not as great as the hide.

    Hu San was an ice-type ability user. Therefore, he chose the crystal core. Then, Beitang Gan took its flesh and Nangong Zeming took its guts and kidneys.

    After dividing the loot, Hu San finally had time to ask Qin Feng his reason for being here.

    ¡°I¡¯ve also found a dimensional crack. And it brought me here.¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s another dimensional crack? Can we go through it? It looks like this crack has a different location than the ce we came from.¡± Hu San said.

    Beitang Gan nodded. ¡°Yeah. Still... this realm is too perilous to stay!¡±

    Hearing the three of them exchanging words, Qin Feng realized that even Hu San too had just begun his expedition here on Dragon Ind. Perhaps he did not know the ce as well as Qin Feng¡ªthe young man who was reborn.

    ¡®So, does this mean that Dragon Ind is stillpletely undeveloped and untouched? Then, I¡¯ll have the biggest advantage here!¡¯

    Qin Feng took a nce at the Demonscale Drakes. His biggest asset right now was still his ability to control undead puppets.

    Booom!!

    Suddenly, they could hear a loud noiseing from outside. Everyone¡¯s face turned grim in an instant¡ªthey could feel a powerful presence from the other side of the ice wall.

    Qin Feng, however, knew that this was just the beginning of the beast wave. When the two rivers met, there would be countless ultra beasts meeting together and battling to their deaths. This was the reason he came¡ªto harvest them in the aftermath.

    Still, it was quite unwise to go out right now. Qin Feng was wearing the Divine me Imperial Robe¡ªif he were to venture through that ice wall right now, he would be a walking target.

    Well then, it was time to use that bear hide that he had just harvested.

    Qin Feng took out his Magical Tesseract and put the hide into it. In a few seconds, a cape was made.

    Then, he took out the Wolf King¡¯s hide and the scales of the White Pterosaurs, and he put them all into the Magical Tesseract. In another few seconds, a brand new set ofbat suit, boots, gloves, hat and face mask were made. Of course, this new equipment was not as powerful as the God Armor, Dark Cape and Divine me Imperial Robe. However, they had something that these godly armor did not have¡ªthe ability to grant its user great cold resistance.

    After putting them on, Qin Feng noticed that thisbat suit was even warmer than the Divine me Imperial Robe! Not only that, thisbat suit waspletely white in color¡ªgiving him the perfect camouge in the snow.

    Everyone was surprised at how Qin Feng was able to craft his equipment on the spot.

 Chapter 925 - A Bigger Army

    <h4>Chapter 925: A Bigger Army</h4>

    ¡°If you need it, please feel free to use it.¡±

    When one¡¯s power had grown exponentially huge, there was no need to worry about others peeking into your secrets. Qin Feng handed his Magical Tesseract to Hu San and briefly exined how to use it.

    However, Hu San did not need to craft any item. The whole ce was brimming with ice and snow; so, this was practically his yground.

    Nangong Zeming, on the other hand, was quite interested in the Magical Tesseract. He picked some A-tier ultra beast materials and crafted a set of rune equipment like Qin Feng¡¯s to fend off the cold.

    Then, Beitang Gan and the other A-tiers too did the same and crafted new sets ofbat suits for themselves.

    After they were done with crafting, the battle out there did not seem to be stopping at all.

    ¡°Mr Hu, I¡¯d like to head out to have a look.¡±

    Hu San pondered for a moment as he looked at the Demonscale Drake.

    It was rather apparent that Qin Feng was a peculiarly powerful youngd¡ªan entity quite different from any of them.

    ¡°Alright. But please exercise caution when you¡¯re out there.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir. I¡¯ll establish a small outpost within one hundred kilometers. If you¡¯re in danger, you can contact me anytime.¡±

    Qin Feng had acquired a lot of technologies. Naturally, he had also acquired a lot ofmunication technology that could be installed to transmit signals to connect othermunicators. However, he was not entirely sure if it would work when an energy storm hit though.

    More importantly, by doing this they could prevent themselves from getting lost in the snow when battling the enemies. In other words, when they had installed an outpost with signal emission, it was like giving them an extra pair of eyes.

    ¡°Thank you, Marshal Qin.¡± Nangong Zeming said warmly to Qin Feng.

    Hu San then opened up an exit; Qin Feng rode his Demonscale Drake and headed out.

    When he got out to the open, Qin Feng noticed that just about one kilometer away, there were already ultra beasts fighting amongst themselves. There were already several corpses on the ground¡ªsome of them were the corpses of Demonscale Drakes.

    When ultra beasts fought, they usually determined their opponents by their scents and presence. Humans were small in size with a rather weak presence. Hence, they werebeled as ¡°food¡± by the ultra beasts. This was why if a human came out in the open, there was a high chance of him getting attacked by the monsters.

    As for the other ultra beasts, so long as they were not too powerful in presence, they would then dare to go up to them for a fight.

    Such was the way of the ultra beasts¡¯ life.

    There were eight Demonscale Drakes taking on twenty Giant Mammoths. There were also several weaker ultra beasts joining the fight, taking on the Demonscale Drakes.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Feng ordered his Demonscale Drake puppet and rushed into the battle.

    After being converted into an undead puppet, Qin Feng¡¯s Demonscale Drake¡¯s presence had beenpletely changed. However, it still looked like a Demonscale Drake on the outside. Seeing this, the Giant Mammoths quickly turned and wanted to defeat it too.

    Seeing this, Qin Feng raised a hand to summon a cloak of dark runes, which clouded the Giant Mammoths¡¯ senses. In the next second, Qin Feng had passed by the Giant Mammoths and rushed to the Demonscale Drakes¡¯ side.

    Then, huge excruciating roars thundered in the area as Qin Feng unleashed his dark runes, killing a Demonscale Drake. And thus, Qin Feng had converted another Demonscale Drake into his undead puppet.

    Qin Feng¡¯s target was the Demonscale Drakes, not the Giant Mammoths. Of course, he was not here to help the Demonscale Drakes to defeat the Giant Mammoths too.

    The Giant Mammoths unleashed powerful breaths from their trunks, blowing away the dark runes to recover their senses and sights. When they could finally see again, all that they saw was Qin Feng leading his undead Demonscale Drakes to take down the rest of the ultra beasts.

    The Giant Mammoths immediately rejoined the battle without thinking twice.

    Of course, there was no way that abined force of these weaker ultra beasts and the Giant Mammoths could defeat Qin Feng. After all, Qin Feng had now gained eight more powerful undead Demonscale Drakes in his party.

    Thus, Qin Feng yed the Giant Mammoths with ease. After that, Qin Feng devoured the dead Giant Mammoths¡¯ energies into his body, strengthening himself further.

    In his home world, it was quite difficult for Qin Feng to ascend. If he wanted to get stronger, he would need to devour a great deal of energy.

    Yet, right now, Qin Feng was able to get stronger and increase his powers in such a short time.

    ¡°Kill them all!¡±

    Qin Feng led his undead minions to continue the onught onto the rest of the ultra beasts.

    Booom!

    A Giant Mammoth dropped dead to the floor as neen undead Demonscale Drakes worked together neatly to take on the rest of the ultra beasts: five of them were blocking the ultra beasts¡¯ from aiding one another, three of them were doing crowd control to confuse their opponents while the rest of them attacked the ultra beasts that got singled out.

    In half an hour, the battle had ended.

    Blood could be seen everywhere in the snowy area. There were not many ultra beasts in the area; so, there was no more chaos urring. However, Qin Feng was not satisfied with killing these ultra beasts.

    ¡°Undead Puppeteering!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand andmanded twenty Giant Mammoths to rise from their deaths, joining his undead army. He did not really mind if he could not get their materials¡ªthe more undead minions under his employment, the safer he would be in this icy realm.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng led his undead legion and continued on with his expedition.

    Meanwhile, at the ice cave, Qin Feng had gone out for half an hour and there was no more noiseing from outside. Hu San and the others thus came out from the cave to check it out.

    ¡°The battle has stopped!¡±

    ¡°There¡¯s no ultra beast in sight!¡±

    ¡°But... just now we could hear the noises of battle very clearly! They must have fought here! Let¡¯s search the area. Their bodies could be nearby.¡±

    Although they were already S-tiers, the more realms they explored the more they realized just how weak and puny humans were. This had taught these S-tiers some humility¡ªperhaps they had be too humble because right now all they could think of was just to recover some corpses from the aftermath of a battle.

    It did not take long for them to find the battlefield¡ªQin Feng¡¯s Demonscale Drake had left a clear trail of footprints in the snow.

    And then, all they saw was frozen blood in the snow. And...

    ¡°No bodies! Not even one ultra beast¡¯s corpse!¡±

    ¡°Could it be....?¡±

    ¡°But there¡¯s no mistaking it! These ultra beasts were in. Perhaps they have been harvested.¡±

    And who could have done it? It was quite clear that it was Qin Feng who had done it.

    However, as they explored the battlefield, they found even more footprints in the snow, leading to a new direction away from the scene. Qin Feng¡¯s army had gotten bigger!

    ¡°This Qin Feng... he¡¯s getting stronger by the day!¡± Hu San sighed.

    Nangong Zeming nodded. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s time to bring him into the alliance.¡±

    Hu San nodded in agreement.

    Beitang Gan¡¯s jaw was rolling on the ground upon hearing that. Indeed, he was surprised as to how strong Qin Feng was and his means of controlling the dead. However, he did not expect Nangong Zeming to suggest that.

    ¡°Are you serious? It might not be a wise move... he¡¯s just an A-tier!¡±

 Chapter 926 - Peculiar Conscious Energy

    <h4>Chapter 926: Peculiar Conscious Energy</h4>

    The other A-tiers perked up their ears when they heard Beitang Gan¡¯s words. It seemed that even though they too were A-tiers, they were not able to be a part of the thing that Nangong Zeming intended to bring Qin Feng into. This made them feel rather uneasy and jealous.

    Unless Qin Feng had actually ascended to S-tier, no matter how much greatness he had achieved, there would always be people who would be envious of him.

    ¡°Enough!¡± Hu San raised his voice.

    Nangong Zeming said, ¡°He can do things that we cannot. This is good enough for me.¡±

    Beitang Gan finally understood Nangong Zeming¡¯s reasoning. Qin Feng was indeed much more powerful than him. Not only that, he was still young¡ªwhich meant that Qin Feng had great potential to grow even stronger than what they were seeing right now.

    Still, there was no need to continue on with this topic. This was not the right time to discuss it after all.

    ¡°So, what do we do next? Do we keep on following him?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s follow the trail for a bit. At least by doing this, we would not meet much danger ahead.¡±

    ¡°A sound n.¡±

    As they determined their n, suddenly a powerful energy burst out from afar, forming a massive cloak of light in the sky.

    ¡°What is that?¡±

    Hu San was surprised to see this. As an ability user, he could sense that the light was actually a force of powerful conscious energy. Yet, this conscious energy was quite uniquely peculiar¡ªit felt as though there was no consciousness controlling the energy at all.

    ¡°When there¡¯s a unique natural phenomenon, there must be treasures ahead!¡± Nangong Zeming said excitedly.

    Well, everyone in the scene knew this. As such, they were all quite eager to check it out. Thus, the A-tiers enthusiastically awaited for the three S-tier to give the call.

    ¡°We can take a closer look. But don¡¯t get too close. Perhaps it¡¯s something that is beyond our reach.¡± Hu San said.

    Indeed, it could be a treasure. He wanted this powerful energy himself. However, he had also sensed there was great danger ahead. Still, Hu San could not help but to feel that this was a great opportunity for him.

    Therefore, this was like a gamble. A gamble that would make or break him!

    ¡°Then, what are we waiting for? Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s footprints too were leading toward the light. As such, if they kept on going onward, there should be no hostiles in their way.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng had also noticed the light.

    ¡°What¡¯s that?¡±

    Qin Feng only knew a little about Dragon Ind from before he was reborn. As such, he did not really know much about what he would find on this ind. This was why he was rather startled to see this.

    Of course, he had also sensed the unique conscious energy from the light. In his consciousness, Qin Feng¡¯s starglobe had started to spin rapidly. His Absorption Ability seemed to be raging eagerly, as though it had found a delicious meal!

    This conscious energy had given Qin Feng a hunger to devour it.

    No matter what lied ahead, there could only be good stuff there!

    Thus, Qin Feng led his undead puppets and headed toward that way too. At the same time, the other creatures in the area too had begun to move toward the light.

    Qin Feng lifted his legs and ran toward his destination at full speed.

    Then, he saw them¡ªtwo snow foxes were running on the snow, each with seven tails. They both were A-tier beast deities.

    However, after seeing Qin Feng, the two beast deities did not seem to be bothered by him at all. Instead, they sped up and overtook Qin Feng, leaving fogs of snow behind their tails. If Qin Feng did not have extremely powerful consciousness, he would not even notice these two at all.

    Qin Feng kept on moving onward while the undead puppets tailed from behind. Although the undead puppets were quite fast as well, Qin Feng had to slow down several times to allow them to keep up with him.

    Thus, after travelling at high speed for half an hour, they had traveled for about two hundred kilometers.

    One could feel the effects of the light from afar; now that they were close to the energy source, it was quite apparent how it would affect them.

    Qin Feng could feel that his Absorption Ability had begun to devour the energy in the area, as though Qin Feng had already in ultra beasts in the area.

    The light was not as colorful as how it was when observed from afar. Right now, it felt as though the light was invisible, like a curtain of see-through fabric.

    Qin Feng stood on a tall mountain, looking at a massive ice fissure¡ªone that spanned for about ten kilometers and thousands of meters wide.

    There was an army of ultra beasts below and across the ice fissure. Thousands and thousands of them were A-tier ultra beasts; and they were at least beast kings.

    Their presence was so powerful that an ordinary ability user might explode to his death near these monstrosities.

    Booom!

    Two ultra beasts mmed onto one another, creating a shockwave of energy. One of them could not handle the impact and got mmed straight into the fissure.

    However, the ultra beast did not fall into the fissurepletely. Instead, a powerful energy lifted it up and held it in ce in the air.

    Then, a few secondster, the ultra beast¡¯s head exploded!

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes shrunk when he saw this. That ultra beast was at least an S-tier. And yet, it died just like that? What kind of energy was that?

    Still, despite how dangerous the energy was, the ultra beasts were still flocking toward it eagerly, as though they wanted to be as close to the fissure as possible. Yet, if they got too close to it, they would fall straight to their death.

    ¡°Could it be that... those ultra beasts that died... they consumed too much energy and exploded?¡±

    Qin Feng had seen this kind of energy over-consumption numerous times. He had seen it plenty of times before he was reborn. He had seen it again when he was in the Perished Land.

    It was not unheard of. It was quitemon for any living being to explode to pieces when they consumed too much energy for their bodies to handle.

    This also meant that there was definitely a treasure down there!

    Not only that, in order to grab a spot near the fissure, these ultra beasts had begun to fight amongst themselves, killing one another as minutes passed, leaving countless of their corpses behind.

    ¡°This is a good chance! Undead Puppeteering!¡±

 Chapter 927 - The Icebreaker inside the Frissure

    <h4>Chapter 927: The Icebreaker inside the Frissure</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s dark runes slithered across the snowfield through the dark like silk. They imbued into one after another dead ultra beast carcass.

    These ultra beasts, which had their blood frozen by the harsh cold, opened their eyes abruptly.

    A shade of aquamarine, the color of death, began to burn in their eyes. They stood up, shakily at first, and slowly ducked away from the horde charging forward.

    The other ultra beasts were too busy fighting for the best position possible. They were not bothered by the undead ultra beasts that were moving in a different direction.

    The number of undead puppets around Qin Feng increased exponentially.

    One on top of another, they gathered into arge legion around Qin Feng.

    When the number of puppets reached a hundred, Qin Feng could no longer hold back. He ordered the legion of undead soldiers to charge with him.

    ¡°Kill!¡± Qin Feng stood on a giant mammoth andmanded. He positioned himself in the middle of the troop and had the other ultra beasts protect him. Under Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness, these undead puppets marched quietly. They did not roar but their soul fire burned brightly, as if it was screaming in agony. Their bodies treaded vigorously under Qin Feng¡¯s will.

    Thud! Thud! Thud!

    Like a group of well-rehearsed soldiers, these puppets marched uniformly and easily caught up to a group of ultra beasts at the edge of therge horde.

    It was a pack of silver wolves that lived near the ciers. The pack had at least fifty members in it. That was the only reason they could fight with other ultra beasts. These wolves were too feeble to fight alone.

    But these weak creatures could muster little resistance against the evenrger group of undead puppets. They were instantly trampled down.

    One silver fox was about to be stepped on by an undead puppet. Spooked, the silver wolf desperately called out a half-transparent shield around its body. Nevertheless, the giant puppet pressed down and instantly shattered the fragile ice shield.

    Inevitably, the silver wolf¡¯s body was pinned deep into the snow. The giant puppet strode on, and did not bother to check whether the wolf was still alive. The wolf would have zero chance of surviving anyway. More puppets wereing behind the first one and they would assuredly step over the wolf¡¯s body.

    It was not that the zombie army could think by themselves and worked as a group. All of their actions were manipted by Qin Feng.

    He was monitoring everything from a vantage point. In case there was really any ultra beast that was so lucky and survived the stampede, his saber would finish the job.

    Qin Feng¡¯s legion charged on dominantly.

    Not only that but Qin Feng continued to expand his legion by converting some of the stronger ultra beasts that he killed along the way into one of his own.

    His consciousness was powerful enough to control a thousand beast emperors. Though S-tier ultra beasts were indeed more powerful, activating them meant that Qin Feng would lose control of the majority of the puppets. As such, Qin Feng did not intend to build an S-tier army. Moreover, the materials on an S-tier ultra beast were usually rare and precious. Turning it into an undead puppet meant it would waste its true value. Qin Feng was unwilling to do so unless the situation turned really dire.

    Gradually, Qin Feng and his troops were getting nearer the edge. The closer they got, the more active his Absorption Ability bes. His consciousness continued to expand wildly.

    Not only that but Qin Feng began to see crystalline snowkes materialize around him. ¡®Are these formed due to my absorption?¡¯ Peculiarly, the snowkes were not cold and could even be infused directly into his consciousness realm.

    Surprisingly, Qin Feng¡¯s diamond starglobe size had been erged. It was a subtle yet noticeable change.

    ¡®What are these? How can they alter the size of my ability core?¡¯

    Undoubtedly, the ability core would evolve as the ability user became more powerful. But this was different. The core simply gotrger in size without affecting the consciousness level.

    It was like how he had used the gaea crystal to erge his dantian by a few folds in the past. ¡®If my crystal core were to increase by ten times in size, would it also extrapte into my consciousness?¡¯

    The energy hidden within the frissure must be something more magnificent.

    Qin Feng continued to drive the puppets to open up a path to reach the edge of the frissure.

    The energy did not stop the probing of his consciousness. But other than raw energy, Qin Feng could not feel anything else down there. Since the ultra beasts were all rushing toward the edge of the frissure, Qin Feng reckoned it was best for him to see it with his own eyes.

    He controlled the mammoth to slowly approach the frissure. He was now right by the giant frissure. He looked down and saw nothing spectacr. It was just anothermon cier seen everywhere here.

    Qin Feng could not tell where the rich energy was oozing out from. More importantly, he did not dare to go down there.

    This was when his heart suddenly pounded. His sixth sense warned him of imminent danger.

    Qin Feng retreated reflexively. He abandoned the giant mammoth decisively and sheltered himself in the midst of the hundred puppets.

    As Qin Feng retreated, the edge suddenly went into a quake. The frissure that was already opened up by a thousand meters broadened once again.

    The sudden crust movement dropped the unprepared ultra beasts into the frissure.

    This time, the ultra beast did not explode.

    Qin Feng could crisply feel that the odd energy had once again arisen from deep under the crack.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes became wide open. In front of him, a giant icebreaker slowly ascended from the frissure.

    The ultra beasts that were floating near the edge of the frissure were exhrated when they saw the ship. They pped their hands and legs excitedly, trying to board the ship.

    Though the ship was prettyrge, it certainly did not have enough space to house all the ultra beasts trying to reach it.

    Hence, the reason why the ultra beasts were fighting to get a better position near the edge was probably to board the ship first.

    Qin Feng had his concerns. He did not know what might happen next. He could feel a huge risk lying inside the icebreaker.

    He went through a lot to get this second life. This was not a risk that he should take.

    This was when a familiar presence crept into his consciousness.

    He immediately followed it and looked through the ultra beast crowds.

    The man was Hu San.

    Hu San had seen Qin Feng too, but he did not ask for Qin Feng¡¯s help. Instead, he used Ice Morph and fought tirelessly through the crowded ultra beast.

    Though these ultra beasts lived near the ciers their entire lives, their mastery of ice-type ability was still way weaker than humans.

    Now that these ultra beasts were racing to board the ship, Hu San joined them and charged forward fearlessly too.

    Soon, Hu San had jumped down the edge and entered the frissure as well. The ultra beasts, who led the pack earlier and got into the frissure first, were mostly S-tiers. In other words, the closer Hu San was to the ship, the more danger he was exposed to.

    Qin Feng was baffled by Hu San¡¯s unwavering fighting spirit. Suddenly, he understood something. His thinking had taken a different direction too.

    ¡®Why should I be deterred just because I am living a second life? I am at a bottleneck now and can¡¯t get past this hurdle if I continue to hold back! I have already established a strong base, now it¡¯s time for me to spring high! Isn¡¯t this here the perfect tform for me?¡¯

    Shaking off hisst bit of doubt, Qin Feng ordered all his puppets to jump down the edge.

    An unknown power suspended Qin Feng in mid-air. Through his consciousness, Qin Feng ordered his undead ves to bump the other ultra beasts away and swam determinedly toward the icebreaker.

 Chapter 928 - Only One Single Ability is Allowed

    <h4>Chapter 928: Only One Single Ability is Allowed</h4>

    The closer he was to the icebreaker, the stronger the sense of danger Qin Feng felt. Numerous ultra beasts were scrambling to reach the ship. Those that were already on board were obviously the strongest among the pack.

    The fiercest battle happened all around the hull of the icebreaker. Monsters blocking the way would be engulfed instantly by the mass from behind if they did not have the corresponding strength to hold the front position.

    Hu San was an S-tier aptitude user, but he did not have any advantage against the sea of ultra beasts around him.

    A powerful ultra beast swung its tail andshed right at Hu San. The attack dispersed most of the snow energy wrapping around Hu San.

    Though Hu San did not immediately turn back into human form, he could barely maintain his Ice Morph now after losing a substantial amount of runes. His consciousness had probably suffered a great deal of damage too.

    ¡°Master Hu, don¡¯t overexert yourself. Come to me!¡± Qin Feng delivered the message using his consciousness.

    Hu San, despite wanting to reach the icebreaker on his own, recognized that he could not do it alone.

    Without many choices left, he turned and approached Qin Feng instead.

    Qin Feng was still busy fending off other ultra beasts with his undead puppets.

    ¡°Qin Feng, if I ever gain anything from this encounter, I will share with you 30%,¡± Hu San said as soon as he reached Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng, baffled by the sudden offer, looked at Hu San and asked, ¡°It seems that you know what¡¯s hidden inside this mysterious ship?¡±

    ¡°Yes. I think that an inheritance is hidden somewhere in there. Besides, it can only be imed by an ice-type ability,¡± Hu San did not hide the truth from Qin Feng. ¡°I could sense that something was calling to me. If not because of the voice, I would not have risked my life going through the ultra beasts.¡±

    Moreover, Hu San had tried his best not to depend on Qin Feng. To him, though Qin Feng was not an ice user, Hu San still viewed Qin Feng as apetitor. He did not want the young man to help him again and again. That would be unfair both to himself and to Qin Feng.

    Nevertheless, reality was harsher than he thought. If Hu San insisted on boarding the ship with his own power, then he could not escape sacrificing some of his power. That way, he probably would not be at 100% power after that. Who knew what other challenges might lie ahead?

    As such, Hu San admitted defeat and epted Qin Feng¡¯s favor. In return, he promised topensate Qin Feng with 30% of his own gain.

    ¡°I see. An inheritance, huh!¡±

    No wonder Hu San was the only other human around here. The old man could hardly resist the lure of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

    ¡°I have no idea how dangerous the inheritance could be. No matter what, it¡¯s toote to turn back now. I believe you can benefit from it, more or less.¡±

    ¡°Right.¡±

    They did not converse much after that. Qin Feng needed to concentrate on maneuvering his puppets. This was not the proper time for a talk.

    There were too many ultra beastspeting with them. Monsters that could approach the hull at this point were mostly S-tier and above. Even Qin Feng could not tell the true power of some of them.

    Fortunately, while Qin Feng was hesitating earlier, the strongest group had gone up the ship first. The remaining ultra beasts still struggling by the frissure were no match for Qin Feng¡¯s puppet legion.

    Qin Feng could now get a clearer look at the ship. There was a force field wrapping around the hull. It looked less like an icebreaker close-up. It did not have a cabin on it and looked more like a giant fishing boat, which did not even have a tent.

    To Qin Feng¡¯s surprise, ultra beasts that had boarded were lined up obediently. The ship was half-full by now.

    ¡°Open!¡±

    Qin Feng growled and the undead ultra beasts roared along with him. With one final burst, they reached the outside of the energy shield atst. His consciousness told him that he could transverse the shield but his puppets could not.

    ¡°Master Hu, after you!¡± Qin Feng said hastily and used his internal force to propel Hu San up to the deck.

    Then, Qin Feng triggered his consciousness.

    ¡®Explode!¡¯

    All of a sudden, the undead puppets around Qin Feng went into a chain explosion that created a massive shock wave. ultra beasts nearest to the puppet bombs were instantly reduced to dust. These included a lot of S-tier ultra beasts.

    Since they could not be brought onboard, Qin Feng did not want to waste his puppets, and so he maximized their usage with onest detonation. The energy of the ultra beasts killed by the explosion was naturally imbued into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Then, with his consciousness, the crystal cores of all the killed ultra beasts and undead puppets were retrieved. Carcasses of the dead ultra beasts were not wasted too and were directly pulled into his spatial equipment.

    After he was done, he finally lunged into the force field andnded on the deck.

    There were only a few spots left on the boat. Once he stepped on the deck, an unknown force took over Qin Feng¡¯s body. It did not hurt him but Qin Feng still subconsciously wanted to shake off the control. His act only intensified the controlling force and it vehemently guided Qin Feng to an empty spot, making him line up in an orderly fashion with other ultra beasts.

    Hu San stood right in front of him. But the old master could not move his head now. At least, Hu San could sense that Qin Feng had boarded the ship after him.

    Soon, after a few rounds of ferocious battles, thest few spots were filled by other ultra beasts.

    The full house ship suddenly elerated. Nheless, it moved steadily. They were plummeting fast into the frissure, but Qin Feng could hardly feel any turbulence.

    Not only that but the force field around the ship began to emit blue light. He felt like they were traveling into a different dimension, or perhaps a different time.

    A momentter, the blue light started to pervade the inside of the force field. One after another ultra beast began to disappear from his sight. Qin Feng felt the blue light run over his body. The unknown energy then entered his body and infiltrated his conscious realm.

    It felt real, yet like a dream. His physique began to degenerate, and his consciousness was being emptied at the same time.

    ¡®What¡¯s happening to my power?¡¯

    Qin Feng was shocked and in a panic. But his body could not respond to hismand. Even though he was not an S-tier yet, his power was scarier than one. However, that was still not enough to revolt against such a peculiar phenomenon.

    This was when he suddenly heard a faint conscious voice. This was probably the only conscious energy that remained in him.

    ¡®To ept the inheritance, you are only allowed to retain one ability.¡¯

    Then, the strange consciousness promptly sorted out the ability inside Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness realm.

    Dark, fire, water, earth, and wind. From abilities as simple as Dark Shadow, Fireball, to moreplex abilities like barriers, etc. were listed right in front of Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    Other than that, his ancient arts, such as Asteroid Assimtion, zing Sky Sword Art, Spirit Chain Rend, and Phantom Shift, were included too.

    ¡®Only one ability is allowed?¡¯

    Qin Feng had learned a lot of abilities since his rebirth. There were special abilities that involved rune rearrangement, while his ancient arts were pretty powerful too.

    ¡®A powerful ability would no doubt be very useful. But it would be meaningless if I don¡¯t have the physique and conscious energy to drive them!¡¯

    Qin Feng could tell that even his dantian had been emptied now. His consciousness was not lostpletely but it was only at the level of E-tier.

    The diamond starglobe was also only the size of an E-tier.

    Without internal power in his dantian, Qin Feng first excluded the ancient arts. Asteroid Assimtion was cool, but Qin Feng reckoned he would not meet any ancient warriors any time soon after this.

    ¡®If I have to retain one, there is really only one option.¡¯

 Chapter 929 - The Almighty Absorption Ability

    <h4>Chapter 929: The Almighty Absorption Ability</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng did not hesitate and selected his innate ability¡ªAbsorption.

    This ability was close to being invincible. As long as he could absorb other¡¯s abilities with this, he could regain his power quickly.

    Besides, the ability did not need any prerequisites. Qin Feng had been using it as soon as his conscious energy was awakened.

    After he pinpointed the ability, the now transparent conscious globe was left with a small blob of dark aura. It was none other than the dark runes for his Absorption Ability.

    The newly appeared diamond starglobe felt a little chilled aspared to before. Qin Feng immediately figured that it was an ice crystal core.

    There was little time for him to examine the unfamiliar globe. As soon as he made his pick, the blue light abandoned him and Qin Feng realized he was no longer on the ship. He had arrived at a new world.

    ¡®Secret dimension!¡¯

    Qin Feng studied the area closely once he realized where he was at.

    The ce appeared like a ssroom. In front of him stood ady with an unworldly white skin tone, which made her look rather eerie.

    A chilled aura emanated quietly around her.

    Qin Feng looked around and found more white figures like her. They were all female.

    ¡°Child, what¡¯s your name?¡± Thedy tried to talk in a soft tone. However, her face was stone cold as if she was collecting a huge debt from Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng reckoned this must be a test made by this dimension. He thought about it and answered, ¡°My name is Xuan Feng.¡±

    Thedy did not seem all that interested to know his name. She nodded and said, ¡°You transferred here in the middle of this semester. I¡¯m afraid that you might not be able to catch up on our sybus. I hope you can learn this ability in three days. Otherwise, you would not be qualified to enter the Snow Viscountess College.¡±

    As she spoke, she threw five pieces of beast skin to Qin Feng.

    Cold aura radiated from the skin surface.

    Qin Feng opened them and immediately saw ice runes swirling around them.

    With his consciousness, Qin Feng recognized that the white figures around him were just holograms created by another conscious energy. However, the five beast skins were real.

    ¡®Is this the inheritance? If so, Hu San would undoubtedly have the highest chance to seed.¡¯

    Elemental runes were part of the naturalw. Even if the secret dimension forcefully snatched away existing runes and conscious energy from the participants, the knowledge of rune mastery would not disappear. The body and mind would always remember how to assimte and control the flow of the runes.

    Hu San, being an S-tier ice ability user, would have no problem assimting these runes in their rawest form.

    Qin Feng examined the five beast skin scrolls and estimated that they contained up to five thousand ice runes. He was currently only at E-tier. To master everything in three days would require a prodigal level ofprehension and talent.

    Some ultra beasts and humans might not need to undergo this test. Apparently, Qin Feng did not have such privilege.

    ¡®I should give it a try anyway.¡¯ Qin Feng put his conscious energy into action.

    ¡®Ability, Absorb!¡¯

    Instantly, Qin Feng¡¯s ability erupted and engulfed the ice runes in front of him. His crystal core began to spin as the runes permeated into his realm. As if they had found a home, the runes merged seamlessly with his crystal core.

    Within a few breath cycles, all five thousand runes were absorbed by Qin Feng.

    All the snow girls around him stared at Qin Feng bafflingly. Not only that but the teacher figure also looked at Qin Feng with surprise.

    ¡°Well, well, your talent is truly exceptional. Alright, you are allowed to join our ss.¡±

    After that, the ¡°teacher¡± taught him a lot of things. Qin Feng realized he could not leave the ssroom by his own will. Time around him seemed to be speeding forward. It would only stop momentarily when the ¡°teacher¡± took out different skin scrolls from time to time.

    She exined the theories hastily. Some were extremelyplex but immeasurably useful.

    Qin Feng never knew that element and ability could be interpreted this way.

    If these theories and knowledge were to be brought back to the Human Alliance, it would revolutionize their current understanding of elemental runes. The schrs would certainly be shocked and enthused by the breakthrough in paradigm. It would bring greater hope to the future generation.

    Hence, Qin Feng listened with full concentration. Those that he could notprehend, he simply memorized them and had them imprinted in his consciousness realm.

    More than ten dayster, Qin Feng had obtained eight skin scrolls¡¯ worth of runes. At the same time, he had also mastered more abilities. He was now a D-tier.

    This was when time stopped moving once again.

    ¡°This is your final day in the ss. We will be having an audition at the graduation ceremony. The strongest among you will be rewarded. I hope you will try your best to perform well during the audition.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Teacher,¡± The girls around him answered emotionlessly.

    During these ten days, Qin Feng had understood a few things. From the fragmented information provided by the ¡°teacher¡± during the ss, this world probably existed a long, long time ago. This was probably a rey of a memory, experienced by thedy who had nted this inheritance.

    Such a dimension that inflicted shbacks was rathermon. Qin Feng immediately identified its true form.

    Now, it was up to Qin Feng to win the audition and acquire the inheritance. He would not be the lone participant.

    This time, Qin Feng finally got to exit the ssroom. He followed the ¡°teacher¡± to the field.

    Seats were arranged all around the field. On it sat row after row of identical snowdies.

    However, the participants on the stage were all kinds of ultra beasts. The audiences did not react ordingly to the anomalous scene. It was as if the ultra beasts were also their kinds.

    Qin Feng sat on his seat and immediately spotted Hu San.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are still around!¡± Hu San was a little surprised. But he soon found an exnation. ¡°As a prodigy, the principle of ice runes should not be too difficult for you to understand. At the very least, you are way smarter than these primeval ultra beasts.¡±

    Qin Feng frowned. He scanned the surroundings and realized only 90% of the ultra beasts that boarded the ship had survived the first test.

    ¡°So, understanding the runes is considered the first stage? Ultra beasts that do notprehend it could not have made it here...¡±

    ¡°Still, it¡¯s better than none. This inheritance has given them a new crystal core.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. I earned it too!¡±

    When he first entered the inheritance dimension, Qin Feng¡¯s physique and conscious energy had weakened substantially, as if his soul had entered a different body. Nevertheless, the ability core felt vivid and real. It was connected directly to his consciousness. This was perhaps a reward to everyone who managed to board the ship.

    If this was the most basic gift, what came next would be even more impressive.

    ¡®Hope that this won¡¯t take long. Otherwise, Bai Li might wake from her sleep.¡¯ Qin Feng murmured as his eyes were fixed on the arena.

    A light abruptlynded near him and teleported two creatures from the participant seats onto the arena. The first fight hadmenced.

 Chapter 930 - Dreamlike Inheritance

    <h4>Chapter 930: Dreamlike Inheritance</h4>

    Before Qin Feng could have a good look, the light switched to him this time. He was instantly teleported to the arena too.

    Snowdies sitting in the surroundings were not affected. The ultra beasts in the participant zone were still there too. Only those called to the arena had disappeared.

    ¡®Is this... spatial ovep? Who is the creator of this secret dimension? His or her skill is unbelievable!¡¯

    Qin Feng knew that even with his current power, it would be difficult for him to create an inheritance to such an extent. He would need Bai Li¡¯s help to aplish such a taxing feat.

    In other words, the owner of this dimension certainly possessed power beyond an S-tier. But Qin Feng had never met an SS-tier aptitude user before, so he was not 100% certain.

    On the opposite side of the arena, Qin Feng¡¯s opponent appeared just as he did. Luckily, his opponent this round was not Hu San. Otherwise, Qin Feng would be in a dilemma.

    Qin Feng actually recognized his opponent. He had seen it at the edge of the rift days ago. It was an S-tier Ice Drake. Of course, the drake was only a D-tier creature now.

    Its body appeared to have shrunk. Though not as huge as Qin Feng first saw it, its twenty-meter body length was still gigantic aspared to a human.

    The Ice Drake peered at Qin Feng scornfully. It seemed to recognize Qin Feng too. Near the rift, Qin Feng was the pesky little creature thatmanded a puppet legion to open a path for him.

    Here in the arena, Qin Feng was stripped of his army. As a single entity, Qin Feng was unprotected and exposed. Naturally, the Ice Drake despised him.

    Rawr!

    The drake roared and lunged toward Qin Feng imposingly.

    Undeterred, Qin Feng mobilized his conscious energy and created ayer of ice shield.

    Then, he raised his hand to summon a winter storm. The storm plunged toward the drake like an avnche.

    ¡°Great Avnche!¡±

    The ability ravaged the arena.

    Except for the first time, when the ¡°teacher¡± had taught him the basics of ice rune, in every subsequent time freeze, Qin Fen was asked to choose between different runic abilities.

    It would be unwise to pick randomly. The ¡°teacher¡± would set a time limit for mastering the chosen runes. If the participant could notplete in time, the participant would be disqualified immediately.

    Thus, the wiser ultra beasts, or even Hu San, always opted for the easier one. They did not dare to challenge runic abilities that were too difficult to master or they had never encountered.

    However, Qin Feng did not care. His ability was absorption, which could quickly digest the runes regardless of howplicated the ability was.

    The Great Avnche forcefully pushed back the Ice Drake. Thick snow submerged the drake and would suffocate it if the ultra beast did not escape in time.

    The Ice Drake would not go down without a fight. It hissed angrily and spat an ice crystal from its maw, which then diverged into a few tens of long spears.

    Qin Feng evaded the spears agilely. When he could not avoid it, he met the iing spear with an ice spear of his.

    Then, he cast another ability.

    This time, an ice prison appeared on top of the drake and mped down rapidly. It trapped the ultra beast in it and rendered it immobile.

    ¡°Dragon Roar, Ice!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his arm and an ice dragon lunged from his palm. It collided with the drake trapped inside the ice prison.

    Boom!

    The heavy collision sshed the snow into the air. In that short instance, it was difficult to tell whether the drake was alive or dead.

    Suddenly, the head of the drake emerged from the snow and opened its maw against Qin Feng.

    When the snow finally settled down, others could see that the drake had only half of its body left. The other half had been shattered by Qin Feng¡¯s ability.

    However, it still had enough strength to close in. To the ultra beast, this meant victory.

    Qin Feng, unfazed, set up a thick ice wall to shield himself from the drake.

    Bam!

    The drake bumped into the wall and started bleeding. Nheless, it did not stop its determination to break through the ice wall.

    Qin Feng tapped his palm lightly on the drake¡¯s head as soon as it emerged through the wall. But the drake sumbed to the immense strength and could not move at all.

    But Qin Feng did not actually retain his physical strength. He said coldly through his consciousness, ¡°You don¡¯t understand, do you? We are just an illusion created by our own consciousness. We are equivalent entities here. Your size, though daunting to look at, is meaningless here. Since you can¡¯t wait to die, I don¡¯t mind enlightening you before that.¡±

    After he finished the sentence, Qin Feng did not give the drake any chance and burst forth with yet another ability.

    Instantly, an ice ball condensed in Qin Feng¡¯s hand and it was then pushed into the drake¡¯s maw.

    ¡°Ice st!¡±

    Boom!

    The ice ball exploded and burst through drake¡¯s head. Its upper half blew up into pieces.

    Then, the other half of the ultra beast¡¯s carcass also disintegrated into light dots like a firefly and disappeared into thin air.

    Meanwhile, a light wrapped around Qin Feng and returned him to his seat.

    Now, only half of the participants remained in their seats.

    Fifty percent disqualification, that was a rather high percentage.

    Qin Feng peered at where Hu San was sitting. Unsurprisingly, Hu San had passed the first round too.

    After all, if Qin Feng, who was unfamiliar with ice ability, could beat his enemy using raw abilities, then Hu San as the master would use even less effort.

    When Qin Feng thought that the battle was going to continue, the ¡°teacher¡± appeared again with a mysterious grin at the edges of her mouth.

    ¡°Congrattions. You all have officially graduated from this college. As a parting gift, you are now given the chance to learn different abilities at the Frozen Pce. Remember, each ice pir there is carved with a specific runic ability. They are all free to be mastered. To what extent you could assimte them lies on your own fortune. Now, go!¡±

    Time around them suddenly sped up again. In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng found himself inside a great hall made solely with ice.

    Everything that happened in here was dreamlike. However, Qin Feng managed to withhold his sanity and did not immerse himselfpletely into this world or believe that it was real.

    A door was opened up. All the ultra beasts and the two humans swarmed in hastily.

    Once they were in, one after another ice pir began to emerge as told by the ¡°teacher¡±. The pirs were imprinted with ice runes. The ultra beasts gathered up to the pirs rapidly trying to understand what were the abilities hidden within the rune arrangement.

    However, these ultra beasts were initially S-tier creatures. They had ice runes on them and it attracted the runes from the pirs into their bodies.

    Though some of the runes still remained on the pir, the skill had be an imperfect arrangement.

    At that moment, the ultra beasts seemed to have understood that this was going to be another turf war.

    One had to secure a pir all to itself. Otherwise, the runes would be diluted and none could learn theplete ability.

    Roar!

    Suddenly, the ultra beasts charged at each other. The hall had turned into a chaotic battlefield.

    Hu San and Qin Feng were the only two who did not join in the brawl.

    They said nothing to each other but tacitly dashed deeper into the pce.

    Since there were so many ice pirs in here, why did they need to fight?

    Two snowy foxes saw them and decided to follow them into the deeper zone.

    These were the two S-tier snow foxes Qin Feng had met near the ciers from before.

 Chapter 931 - Devour Them All

    <h4>Chapter 931: Devour Them All</h4>

    Such was the true nature of wild beasts. Their intelligence was limited. They were too invested in iming territory and protecting what they perceived as theirs.

    As such, not many creatures improvised and advanced deeper.

    ¡°Snow Skate!¡±

    Qin Feng unleashed a qinggong skill. His body became as light as the snow and drifted forward carried by the wind.

    Hu San had sped up too. His consciousness actively examined the runes around him.

    ¡®This is the Frost Ring. I have learned this before.¡¯ Hu San stopped in front of an ice pir. He absorbed the runes from it rapidly. From the corner of his eye, he glimpsed that Qin Feng was still going further.

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t overexert yourself!¡± Hu San reminded Qin Feng. After all, Qin Feng was not an ice ability user. Though he had done well so far, Hu San did not think Qin Feng was capable of learning those high-end abilities.

    ¡®He is right. Perhaps the abilities further down require vast conscious energy to drive them. I should do this step by step.¡¯ Qin Feng halted after being warned by Hu San. He happened to stop beside an ability called Absolute Zero. He estimated it to be a C-tier ability.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    The frosty runes on the ice pir were instantly peeled off and merged into Qin Feng¡¯s ability core.

    The two foxes that came behind Qin Feng were stunned by what they saw.

    Qin Feng did not stop there. He paced toward another pir about ten meters away.

    ¡°Icetomic st¡±.

    ¡®I will take it! Absorb!¡¯

    Qin Feng moved on.

    ¡°Frosty Peak¡±.

    ¡®Absorb!¡¯

    Qin Feng was not picky and skimmed through one after another rapidly. He stopped at each pir only briefly and absorbed the runes from them efficiently.

    Hu San learned the ability rtively quickly and turned his head up. He realized that Qin Feng had gone even further than before.

    ¡®This young man. Didn¡¯t I tell him not to overdo it? Why is he so impatient? What if he can¡¯t learn them... Wait, what¡¯s that?¡¯ Hu San was dumbfounded after he witnessed how Qin Feng almost devoured the runes from a pir within seconds.

    Some of the runes on the pirs were carved on their backs. To understand the entire arrangement, it was best to circle around the pirs and assimte the runes in their proper sequence. However, Qin Feng was not bothered and sucked in everything, regardless of whether they were facing him or not, as soon as he approached the pirs.

    Hu San examined pir after pir behind Qin Feng and realized they had all been emptied out.

    ¡®Don¡¯t tell me he has learned them all?!¡¯

    Hu San was at a loss for words.

    Qin Feng did not stop his march and was not aware that Hu San was astonished by his exploit. He strolled on and finally found a key ability.

    ¡®Here ites. Ice-type ability domain, Snow World!¡¯

    An ability domain was a collection of different abilities. Once cast, it would create an isted world within the domain. Unless being challenged by a more powerful domain, the caster was usually safe within his or her own domain.

    More so, the caster was omnipotent within his or her own domain.

    This was something Qin Feng had been searching for.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    After absorbing the domain, Qin Feng once again explored deeper.

    Another domain came into his eyes.

    ¡°Ice domain¡ªUltimate Storm!¡±

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    ¡°Ice domain¡ªcier Strike!¡±

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng devoured everything along the way until the very end. He finally reached the edge of the pce that seemingly had no end.

    At the rear end of the pce, three giant pirs stood majestically there. The pirs were cluttered by numerous runes on them.

    Qin Feng nced at the middle one and immediately felt an endless chill.

    S-tier ability, ¡°Cold Whisper of Death¡±.

    It was an abilityparable to the Finger of Death. Once it had locked on to a target, it could instantly freeze its target.

    Qin Feng moved closer and absorbed it without hesitation.

    Massive runes seeped through the vortex between Qin Feng¡¯s brows, then merged into his crystal core.

    While he was absorbing the ability, the two Snow Foxes had run over too. They were obviously interested to learn what the final abilities were.

    They could only watch as Qin Feng was absorbing the most important ability.

    They proceeded to the remaining two pirs at the sides. However, theplexity of the abilities hindered them fromprehending them immediately. It was unlike anything the two foxes had seen before.

    While they were still working hard to grasp the rune arrangement, Qin Feng was done with the middle ice pir. He then moved to the pir on his left.

    The S-tier male fox was still trying hard. It picked its ear anxiously trying to figure out the meaning of the runes. However, his nervousness only made it more difficult than it already was.

    Soon after, a shadow approached him from its right. The fox could feel a fluctuation of energy emitted by an unusual ability.

    A powerful pulling force dragged the runes off the ice pir. They merged seamlessly into the vortex between Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    The male fox had its mouth wide open. It gazed at the floating runes greedily, but none of them belonged to it.

    While the male fox was still caught in shock, Qin Feng moved to the right pir next. The vixen was also trying hard. An ice rune drifted down from the pir, which was about to be absorbed by the vixen.

    Suddenly, the rune stream took a sharp turn in apletely different direction. The female fox was stunned. Its eyes followed the runes and found a human standing right by her.

    The runes suddenly splurged out from the pir and merged straight into Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness realm.

    The two foxes were dumbfounded. They then went into an infuriated rant.

    Rawr! Rawr!

    But they sounded more like quacks. The snow foxes were too exasperated and they attacked Qin Feng with ice abilities without thinking much.

    ¡°Ice Wall!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand and blocked the abilities. He also delivered a message via his consciousness to the two ultra beasts.

    ¡°I would not harm you since you two are fox ultra beasts. Do you really want to fight me? I have just learned three S-tier super abilities. Either one of them could easily put you two down.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness came with an intense killing threat. Hesitation filled the eyes of the two foxes.

    In the next moment, they replied through their consciousness.

    ¡°Don¡¯t ever again intercept. We will kill you.¡±

    ¡°Alright. Pick one. I am not going to interrupt this time.¡±

    The two foxes backed off cautiously. They moved to the secondst row and found an ability that also looked like a domain.

    Qin Feng let down his guard. The three S-tier skills were indeed powerful, but Qin Feng was only bluffing when he said he could cast them.

    In this dimension, Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy was limited to D-tier. At best, he could force out an ice domain but it was impossible to cast any S-tier ability. He was only trying to scare off the two foxes.

    Sparing them because they were foxes like Bai Li was just a convenient excuse. They were merely snow foxes, which was in principle totally different from Bai Li, a spatial beast.

    ¡®You can have two. I am going to snatch the rest.¡¯

    Qin Feng began to devour the rest of the pirs around him insanely. Other than the two upied by the snow foxes, he absorbed everything else.

    Then, Qin Feng moved to the third, fourth, and fifth rows...

 Chapter 932 - Next Test

    <h4>Chapter 932: Next Test</h4>

    Countless abilities were absorbed by Qin Feng and he could not even see the figure of the snow foxes.

    At this moment, he encountered Hu San.

    About half an hour after entering this hall, Hu San had mastered two of the abilities he learned before. Having a grasp of the bare minimum, he began to reach out toward other abilities, but he did not expect the pirs in the back to bepletely emptied out, with no trace of runes on them!

    Qin Feng appeared, making Hu San¡¯s eyes widen.

    ¡°Did you just go inside? Where are the runes here? Did... did youprehend* all of them?¡±

    ¡°Ah, well, no not entirely!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°That¡¯s fine, that¡¯s fine,¡± Hu San was relieved, but upon hearing Qin Feng¡¯s next words he was sent into a depressed mood.

    ¡°I left some for a pair of foxes, I couldn¡¯t beat them. Why don¡¯t we team up and we can go kill them together?¡± Qin Feng said.

    Hu San¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Perhaps, it would be better if we continued learning. I don¡¯t know how this realm will progress, so let¡¯s learn a few more abilities!¡±

    ¡°Makes sense!¡± Qin Feng nodded and began to walk toward the next pir. Hu San then saw how easily Qin Feng was absorbing the runes, like slurping up noodles, allfortable and rxed.

    Hu San could choose only one of the abilities and hoped that he would absorb them quickly. Otherwise, he was unsure how many abilities would be left.

    After Qin Feng had absorbed a few, he could no longer keep absorbing. That was because he realized that he already knew these runes.

    High level abilities wereposed of low level runes, developing from the simple toplicated in a step by step process. Qin Feng turned that around by absorbing the higher level difficulty abilities first, thus negating his need for basic runes.

    ¡°I have acquired a sufficient number of abilities. Master Hu, you can go on and learn this one, I¡¯ll protect you!¡± Qin Feng said.

    While he was being genuine, Hu San naturally did not refuse, but why was it that he had a twinge of envy within him?

    Qin Feng went on ahead, encountering ultra beasts in the one-third position of the hall. These ultra beasts had clearlyprehended the previous runes and wanted to gain more.

    A white tiger ultra beast saw Qin Feng standing in the center and roared with its consciousness, like a lord whosend had just been trespassed.

    Qin Feng did not hold back in the slightest. The ultra beasts were hispetition, so he started raising his hand to perform an Ice Lance Strike.

    He knew more advanced abilities. The consciousness of ultra beasts were only D-tier and their speed was greatly reduced. Their physical durability was no better than Qin Feng¡¯s. His Ice Lance Strike could not be dodged by his target.

    Pfft!

    The tip of thence pierced through the body of the white tiger.

    ¡°Icy st!¡±

    Boom!

    A huge explosion rang out as the white tiger was torn into pieces in an instant.

    Soon after, the white tiger¡¯s body dissolved into a white light, spreading out like a swarm of fireflies before disappearing from where it was. It had lost the qualification to ept the inheritance!

    With the death of this ultra beast, more ultra beasts came to attack. Seeing how audacious Qin Feng was, they roared out loud and wanted to tear him apart.

    At least a dozen ultra beasts rushed forward to attack, these ultra beasts were pretty intelligent and they all used ice abilities.

    Icy cold runes formed into an ability, surrounding Qin Feng.

    ¡°Snow World!¡± Qin Feng used his ice domain in an instant, covering the surrounding thirty meters and enveloping more than a dozen ultra beasts.

    Snow fell from above, a current of cold blew around and ayer of white snow covered the ground. More than a dozen ultra beasts were enveloped by the slush and the bone-chilling cold made their bodies more and more rigid.

    As more snow began to umte, the more stiff their bodies became, and they gradually lost consciousness. It was as if the world was plunged into nothing but a constant snowstorm and the creatures had been turned into ice statues as their bodies froze over.

    As the cold wind blew, these ultra beasts all copsed and melted into the snow as more than a dozen flickering lights floated into the sky.

    After taking down more than a dozen enemies in one go, the ultra beasts saw how ferocious Qin Feng was and began to retreat.

    While the ultra beasts were instinctually bloodthirsty, in the same way, it also made them sensitive to detecting the aura of death.

    Qin Feng¡¯s aura meant that he was too dangerous for them, so they did not dare to approach.

    Some ultra beasts still wanted to go past Qin Feng and slip in when his back was turned. He naturally denied this and simply raised an ice wall, dividing the hall in half.

    Roar!

    The ultra beasts roared in annoyance but paced around where they were, not daring to attack him and could only go study the pirs on either side in the one third of the hall. While these were still abilities to be learned, they were only C-tier in terms of power and there were too many ultra beasts. With not enough abilities to go around, everyone was bound to start fighting one another.

    When the ultra beasts first entered the hall, there were five hundred of them and now there were only two hundred or less left. After that fight, many of them were eliminated.

    Everything started to quiet down after Qin Feng raised up his ice wall and Hu San had begun to continuously learn abilities.

    There were some abilities he had learned before and there were some he could not quite get the hang of.

    While humans might not have very durable bodies and low consciousness, their learning ability was far greater than that of any ultra beast.

    If it were not for the viin that Qin Feng was, Hu San definitely would have gained the most.

    Of course, it was also because of Qin Feng that Hu San was quickly able toprehend the runes.

    Three dayster, all the runes on the pirs had disappeared.

    Among them, Qin Feng gained the most, followed by Hu San, then the two foxes and then some other ultra beasts.

    As the runes in the hall disappeared, the closed door of the hall finally opened up.

    Outside, the snowdies with ever expressionless faces looked at the entrance of the hall!

    Their gazes were filled with imperceptible expectations. It seemed that they hoped the creatures entering the halls could achieve good results.

    At this moment, the sky turned dark and darkness enveloped the ground.

    The snowdies suddenly screamed out in their consciousness.

    ¡°It¡¯s the Dark Demon God! The Dark Demon God!¡±

    ¡°No, no I don¡¯t want to get corrupted!¡±

    ¡°Quick! Close the temple doors, protect the children!¡±

    The door of the temple was closed and time began to elerate. After that, the doors suddenly opened up again.

    Countless snowdies appeared at the door, their eyes had turned pitch ck and their irises blood-red. Even the ice crystals and their white-jade bodies bore a darker tone.

    These snowdies started attacking with their teeth and nails, as if they had forgotten how to use their abilities.

    A white elephant was instantly scratched by a snowdy and its body was stained by dark mist. It trumpeted, but in a blink of an eye it turned into a dark creature and attacked the closest being next to it.

    These sudden changes made Qin Feng¡¯s mind ring out in rm!

    ¡°Is this the next test?¡±

    *Trantor¡¯s Note: The process ofprehending runes means you¡¯re learning them and pulling them into your body.

 Chapter 933 - The Frozen Age

    <h4>Chapter 933: The Frozen Age</h4>

    All the ultra beasts knew that they could not let these darkness-corrupted snowdies scratch them, so their remaining attacking method could only be through their abilities.

    Of the abilities they had learned, they only knew one type, and that was ice abilities.

    For a moment, the air was filled with a flurry of snow and ice, but the snowdies seemed to have a kind of resistance to the barrage of attacks and this made them very difficult to fight.

    However, this obviously did not include Qin Feng and Hu San.

    Both of them had a strong grasp over the advanced abilities so they were not afraid. Qin Feng fought as he retreated, unleashing a powerful ice attack.

    A huge cone made out of ice pierced the head of a snowdy. They were not invincible, when hit by such a deadly attack, she stopped in her tracks and copsed like a statue made out of snow.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s keen senses clearly detected that when the snowdy copsed, a burst of energy spread out.

    It was a very pure kind of energy.

    ¡°Wait a minute, everything here might be an illusion. Something constructed with runesbined together using energy. Killing these snowdies is like breaking down the stability of this energy. Maybe this is a test for the others, but I can absorb this energy!¡±

    Qin Feng nced to the side, specifically to the nearby Hu San. As for detecting the energy, Hu San did not have a strong sensitivity to energy like what the Absorption Ability gave to Qin Feng. When he knew that the snowdy would disperse into energy after it died he did not think too much about it.

    That was because Hu San did not have the Absorption Ability.

    Just like how a tiger¡¯s food was meat and how a goat¡¯s food was grass, a piece of meat would draw a tiger¡¯s attention because the food chain made things different.

    ¡®In that case, I¡¯ll help myself!¡¯

    Qin Feng thought as he unleashed his Absorption Ability and pulled that energy into his body.

    His consciousness increased significantly.

    Here, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was the equivalent of an ordinary human, but due to the Absorption Ability, advancement came very quickly.

    Not only that, the ultra beasts on the scene were also taking down the snowdies. As long as Qin Feng was close enough and consumed the energy being spread out after the snowdies died, his consciousness would increase.

    After more than a dozen snowdies were killed, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was instantly promoted to that of C-tier!

    However, he could only guarantee the safety of himself and Hu San. He did not care about the other ultra beasts. Not only did he not care, he would even secretly go over to sabotage them and cause those ultra beasts to get eliminated.

    The infected ultra beasts would also give him energy as well.

    The battle went on for three days and three nights, and Qin Feng¡¯s strength had already reached B-tier!

    While he was not affected as much, the consciousness of the other ultra beasts were already exhausted. Even Hu San had exhausted his consciousness.

    However at this time, Qin Feng was still killing ultra beasts. Within three days, the other ultra beasts had figured out his movement patterns and stayed as far away from him as possible. This meant that Qin Feng and Hu San had to handle most of the enemy snowdies.

    For Qin Feng, this hardly caused him any harm at all.

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t kill so many ultra beasts. I think there are tens of thousands of these snowdies. By the time all the ultra beasts have been killed off we wouldn¡¯t be able to pass this level!¡± Hu San said.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, these snowdies will be dealt with right away!¡±

    Qin Feng said as the next moment a powerful consciousness rose from his body.

    A-tier!

    After he had absorbed the energy of so many snowdies, he finally seeded in reaching the A-tier and his consciousness was enough!

    In the next moment, his consciousness mobilized terrifying runes!

    ¡°Frozen Age!¡±

    In the temple, on thest three pirs there were depictions of three S-tier abilities. The middle one was the Cold Whisper of Death, it was an ability like the Finger of Death but it could only kill one person at a time.

    As for the other two, one of them was the Frost God¡¯s Arrival, which was more like an ability that could greatly enhance the power of the user¡¯s ice abilities.

    There was another ability, called Frozen Age.

    This was an ice domain. It summoned up ciers all around, and being an S-tier ability, the range of this ability was extremelyrge.

    When Qin Feng burst forth with the ability under such circumstances, the terrifying ice ability immediately sealed off all the ultra beasts except Hu San.

    White frost spread out from the sides of Qin Feng¡¯s body, eventually reaching the body of an ultra beast next to him. The ultra beast was currently snarling as if it was about to attack a snowdy, but it was locked in ce and looked like a life-like statue.

    The frost covered the entire hall, then the snowdies were frozen in ce. This even reached outside of the hall, freezing the snowdies outside.

    The world created by energy waspletely sealed off by this ability.

    All of this did not go on for more than thirty seconds.

    The Frozen Age did not just bring with it the chill of ice, but the most important thing was that it worked as an effective blockade.

    After sealing off all the living beings, there was not a single trace of vitality left in them.

    ¡°Return!¡±

    Qin Feng did not maintain the Frozen Age for long and called the runes back to him.

    Those snowdies and the other ultra beasts all melted as if they were encountering a spring breeze. Their bodies seemed to be assimting into Qin Feng¡¯s abilities. After Qin Feng took back his runes, naturally these ultra beasts had all died.

    Then came an incredibly high burst of energy.

    Qin Feng activated his Absorption Ability to plunder this energy.

    He soon discovered that this energy was not like what an ordinary person would actually take in, otherwise it would be too easy to be an A-tier in the matter of three days.

    This energy was the key that could unlock Qin Feng¡¯s original consciousness.

    It was as if the energy absorbed in this world could be transformed into his consciousness and then this conscious power would increase by a hundredfold within the body.

    Now that Qin Feng possessed these energies, he regained control of his A1 beast deity level consciousness.

    In other words, besides the fact that he could not use his ancient martial arts and his five other types of abilities, his strength had returned.

    In the hall, besides there being Qin Feng and Hu San, there were actually two other ultra beasts. The snow foxes.

    The snow foxes had mastered two kinds of abilities from the back of the temple. One of them was a self-protecting, ice-resisting ability which was enough for them to barely withstand Qin Feng¡¯s S-tier move but it left them out of breath.

    However, whether it was Qin Feng or the foxes, they had umted energy. The foxes did not die immediately, and that was considered a stroke of good luck. It allowed them to survive the attack of the dark snowdies.

    At this moment, there was a burst of energy throughout the temple.

    The presence of a consciousness passed along.

    ¡°Protect the temple. You will be awarded. You are the Snow Tribe¡¯sst hope.¡±

    This energy gushed out and Hu San became C-tier under this energy¡¯s influence.

 Chapter 934 - Consuming the Realm

    <h4>Chapter 934: Consuming the Realm</h4>

    ¡°Maybe this is the trial this time, defeating the snowdies and achieving C-tier. Do they intend on using these checkpoints and going level by level to have someone reach S-tier, or maybe even beyond S-tier?¡± Qin Feng thought.

    In fact, whoever made this realm could not have expected how powerful Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability was, allowing him to reach A-tier ahead of time.

    With such a difficult requirement to pass, the ultra beasts would have to work together in order toplete this. However, Qin Feng alone had managed to kill off the squad of snowdies as well as other ultra beasts.

    Besides that, by now he believed that he was starting to understand something. All of these experiences must be the experiences of the person of this inheritance. In other words, it was probably a snowdy whose tribe was annihted.

    An intelligent species was actually annihted, and this snowdy left behind such a powerful inheritance. With that said, it would seem that she had reached a terrible height.

    Now that the reward was being given as arge gush of energy flowed out, Hu San and the two foxes quickly sat down in a meditative posture, wanting to absorb more so that they could unlock their abilities.

    For Qin Feng, his consciousness had been fully unlocked and when he started absorbing he could feel a true increase to his abilities.

    ¡°Absorption!¡±

    He began to consume the pure energy surrounding him.

    Using his Absorption Ability, the surrounding energy was integrated into his body. Hu San and the two little foxes did not absorb much at all as the surrounding energy disappeared.

    Just when they thought time was about to elerate and they would reach into the next phase, the marble on the temple¡¯s floor suddenly flew up and turned into energy before merging into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Everything in their surroundings unexpectedly began to melt a little and was absorbed by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. He was not aware that this was happening at all. He only felt that this wave of energy was really big, causing his consciousness to expand rapidly.

    That being said, Qin Feng had broken the bnce of this realm.

    This realm manipted people¡¯s consciousness and at the same time the energy that was being produced to generate the snowdy¡¯s experiences needed to be recycled after it was broken down.

    Qin Feng had consumed this energy, leading to the realm¡¯s copse. At the same time, he himself became an existence beyond the realm. After all, this realm¡¯s maniption powers were only up to C-tier in strength.

    It was like going through a game, Qin Feng was at the 90th level but the limit of the game was at the 50th. He hadpletely discarded all semnce of bnce.

    The realm waspletely destroyed because of this.

    Not only that, Qin Feng was still absorbing energy in the realm, causing it to copse away as more and more energy was being integrated into his consciousness.

    The surroundings quickly disintegrated. Hu San opened his mouth, about to ask him to stop but ended up keeping it to himself. This was Qin Feng¡¯s chance and he could not stop it.

    Meanwhile, the two foxes seemed to understand what was happening and lunged toward Qin Feng.

    By this time, the entire temple had been absorbed by Qin Feng to arge extent. Even Hu San and the snow foxes¡¯ bodies were melting into energy and being absorbed by him.

    Everything around him twisted together and formed into an icy blue.

    Only Qin Feng was left, sitting cross-legged as he frantically absorbed everything around him.

    An hourter, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness suddenly shot up and reached A2 tier!

    Ten hourster, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness jumped again!

    A3 tier!

    Five dayster, he advanced again.

    However, at this point, the surrounding blue light had also disappeared.

    As the realm imploded, Qin Feng¡¯s dantian and his real consciousness were all returned back to him!

    He suddenly opened his eyes as if he had detected something.

    What he noticed was that he was back on that big ship surrounded by ultra beasts, and at this time, the ultra beasts had also begun to open their eyes.

    Originally, that realm had an independent flow of time like the realm that Bai Li owned. Now that Qin Feng had broken the rules of that realm and caused its copse, all the ultra beasts on the ship woke up.

    His consciousness retracted to view at his consciousness cosmos and saw that in addition to his ability crystal cores for dark, fire, earth, water and wind, another one had appeared that was filled with the ice element. The ice ability crystal core!

    There was no doubt that that was what he had obtained.

    At the same time, other ultra beasts who opened their eyes also realized it as well. While these ultra beasts had powerful physical bodies, they did not have ability crystal cores. Now, they had all obtained one!

    However, at this point in time, these benefits were not the most important thing.

    The power that bound these ultra beasts before they awakened had disappeared!

    In other words, they were free to move around.

    The ultra beast next to Qin Feng had seen him in the realm, more likely, partially remembered seeing him sealing off the temple and preventing it from learning from more runes.

    It was even killed when the snowdies started attacking, because of him.

    When enemies crossed paths, rage was bound to boil.

    Roar!

    The ultra beast roared before a frost rune was formed in front of its head.

    After fighting in the hidden realm, they had managed to get used to this method ofbat in a very short amount of time!

    However, the attacking ice abilities were nothing serious to Qin Feng.

    Whom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s whole body surged with internal force again.

    This rune did not even touch his body and was melted away by the internal force.

    When the other ultra beasts heard the attacker¡¯s roar of rage, they eventually recognized Qin Feng.

    In the next moment, all of the enraged ultra beasts started rushing toward him.

    In that realm, they could not fight Qin Feng, but outside, since Qin Feng had the aura of an A-tier, the S-tier ultra beasts were extremely furious.

    After being cheated out of more power by this being from a smaller species, how could they not be angry?

    When he saw at least a hundred ultra beasts rush in his direction all wanting to kill him, Qin Feng was not shaken at all.

    ¡°You want to die? So be it!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness burst forth.

    ¡°Frozen Age!¡±

    The horrible incident that happened in the Snow Temple before repeated itself.

    That extremely cold frost spread out, instantly turning the ultra beasts around him into ice sculptures.

    These ultra beasts were all frozen in ce, unable to move. The ultra beasts that were below A-tier ultra beast deity level were instantly assimted by the ice. When Qin Feng retracted his ability, it would cause them to melt.

    Those ultra beasts above A-tier beat deity level were simrly frozen into ice sculptures, unable to move.

    An S-tier ultra beast struggled to free itself when it then saw Qin Feng ring at it.

    ¡°Still alive? Take this!¡±

    ¡°Cold Whisper of Death!¡±

 Chapter 935 - A Powerful Oneâ€™s Ability Crystal Core

    <h4>Chapter 935: A Powerful One¡¯s Ability Crystal Core</h4>

    The Cold Whisper of Deathnded on one of the terrifying ultra beasts.

    In an instant, an intense cold washed over the ultra beast¡¯s body. This time the chill began from the brain, making it freeze after it had died.

    While this ultra beast could resist the Frozen Age attack, the Cold Whisper of Death was an attack that concentrated all the runes that the Frozen Age would have used into a single body. It was something that could not have been stopped at all.

    In an instant, this ultra beast was turned into an ice sculpture. Even its body became translucent.

    This meant that the essence of life on this creature hadpletely disappeared.

    Dead!

    An S-tier ultra beast was in just like that.

    The other ultra beasts saw how violently the others had died and were suddenly shivering.

    This time, it was not because of the surrounding cold, they were feeling fear.

    ¡°Don¡¯t kill me! I surrender!¡±

    One of the A-tier beast deities immediately spread out its own consciousness, expressing its submission. It did not wish to die and saw this as the only choice.

    As for another ultra beast, it certainly did not think so.

    Among these ultra beasts there were powerful ones that would naturally not want to give up. They roared and attacked again. Their powerful frames could push forward even in the face of S-tier abilities being thrown at them.

    Suddenly, an ultra beast rushed forward.

    Qin Feng sneered and his consciousness surged again.

    ¡°Finger of Death!¡±

    A dark aura suddenly rushed out to envelop the S-tier ultra beast, its body suddenly became weaker, to a point where it could no longer reach Qin Feng and turned into a dried up skeleton.

    Not only that, the skeleton stood up, its eye sockets lit up with spectral fire.

    Kreeaah!

    The ultra beast let out a roar before blocking off two iing ultra beasts.

    There were more ultra beasts that tried to unleash their domains in order to resist Qin Feng¡¯s S-tier abilities and charged forward.

    ¡°So be it!¡±

    The starglobe of consciousness in Qin Feng¡¯s mind began to spin frantically.

    ¡°Second domain!¡±

    A ming light started to fall from the sky.

    ¡°Third domain!¡±

    A mighty squall blew forth and formed a tornado, merging with the fire runes dropping down from the sky as it grew bigger and bigger.

    In an instant, three elements joined together on therge ship. Ice, wind and fire.

    Among these three energies, ice and fire were notpatible. As the two mixed together, the surroundings became cold and then hot and the tough skin of the ultra beasts were unable to withstand it. Soon, cracks began to form on their hides.

    Due to the appearance of fire, the potency of the Frozen Age ability began to weaken. Some of the ultra beasts with no resistance to the Frozen Age attack stepped out one after another.

    They did not dare fight Qin Feng at all and immediately ran away. The ship was very big, so the ultra beasts ran to the bow. This left Qin Feng to fight on the stern.

    In reality, there were only a few hundred ultra beasts that dared to fight Qin Feng.

    When Qin Feng unleashed his domain abilities the S-tier ultra beasts also unleashed their own domain abilities in an effort to counter him. However, Qin Feng¡¯s domain was too powerful. Moreover, these ultra beasts were strong and their bodies were gargantuan. Qin Feng was facing down five at a time.

    When he took one down, he turned it into an undead puppet. In the blink of an eye, Qin Feng had gained five undead puppets which blocked off the ces other ultra beasts could go.

    At this moment, Hu San gasped and the other ultra beasts also started to stir because of the energy fluctuation.

    ¡°Qin Feng, stop fighting, let¡¯s go and see what that is?¡±

    With the transmission from Hu San¡¯s consciousness, the ultra beasts also felt something. At this moment, they felt that the energy around them had be thicker and thicker.

    The richness of the energy surrounding them did not feel like air, but it felt more like a liquid that was enveloping them.

    The purity of this energy was actually close to the purity of consciousness in the consciousness realm!

    They seemed to be soaring in an ocean of consciousness.

    The energy could bepared to oxygen, normally a person took in about 20% from the air around them but now that content had be 200%. If they took in that now, their strength would suddenly increase after a gulp.

    Qin Feng stopped his attacks. After his runes had dissipated, he saw the scene in front of him.

    The ship had been ¡®sailing¡¯ on the ground and there was a barely visible light that enveloped the entire ship.

    They were surrounded by blue light that resembled that of sea water, but it was not the dark blue shade of the ocean. It was an icy blue.

    This kind of light was transparent, it seemed like concentrated liquid energy constantly renewing itself. As the big ship continued to move forward, the scene in front of them finally shifted into a new one.

    A starglobe exuding wintery chills.

    Almost all of the ultra beasts stopped whatever they were doing and leaned against the sides of the ship, looking at the starglobe.

    The starglobe appeared rather small.

    It was about a hundred meters in diameter. Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was not wrong. It was only about a hundred meters in diameter and might not even be as big as some of the space stabilizing devices in his world.

    When his consciousness fell on it, he felt as if the starglobe was too big, that it was something of incredible size.

    That was because of the dense amount of runes packed within it.

    ¡°What is this? A Sacred Ice Stone?¡±

    Qin Feng had never seen such arge sacred stone before.

    Hu San gulped audibly.

    ¡°This, this kind of thing exists?¡±

    Hu San did not speak with his consciousness but Qin Feng naturally heard him.

    ¡°Master Hu, you recognize this thing?¡± He asked.

    Hu San had a concerned look in his eyes and then said, ¡°You are about to join the Human Alliance, letting you know what it is wouldn¡¯t mean much. This starglobe is the crystal core of the Immortal!¡±

    ¡°What?¡±

    Qin Feng could not believe it.

    This was the Immortal¡¯s crystal core?

    ¡°How is that possible, if this is the Immortal¡¯s crystal core then how could we be here? Have we entered the Immortal¡¯s consciousness cosmos?¡±

    If they were discovered by the Immortal would they not be dead?

    Suddenly, Qin Feng thought of something and his mind began to reel.

    ¡°Wasn¡¯t what we experienced before a kind of test? Could this be how the Immortal chooses their sessor? Yet, I destroyed the inheritance and nobody seemed to care!¡±

    Hu San nodded and said, ¡°You¡¯ve guessed it, this Immortal has already died!¡±

    Qin Feng was shocked.

    He did not know how strong the Immortal was, but looking at the ice starglobe in front of him he could now feel just how powerful that being was.

    If such a being could die, then Qin Feng had no idea what could have caused it.

    Besides, right now there were too many things he did not understand.

    That was because therge ship they were on was headed directly toward the ice starglobe.

    The energy surrounding them became denser and denser. Many of the ultra beasts forgot their fight and began to meditate. Later, more ultra beasts began to close their eyes as they envisioned runes in front of them.

 Chapter 936 - Plundering the Sacred Ice Stones

    <h4>Chapter 936: Plundering the Sacred Ice Stones</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    As the ship got closer, the surrounding energy became more intense. The protective barrier of the ship did not waver for even a bit, as it could fuel itself with consciousness and runes via absorption.

    If Qin Feng did not destroy the realm, that would certainly be the closest spot to receive the inheritance. It would only benefit those who had passed the test, and the others would only remain in a atose¡± state. Obviously, they would not proactively absorb energy from the surroundings.

    But now, every ultra beast in the ship had benefited from Qin Feng¡¯s effort!

    Qin Feng observed the situation and immediately stood at the stern. There was only Hu San behind him, and five S-tier undead puppets barriered before him.

    Qin Feng was relieved and began to absorb energy from the surroundings.

    Meanwhile, his absorption was certainly different from the others.

    Those who had mastered simr runes would be able to speed up their learning in the realm. Meanwhile, there were redundant runes that were not required and they were mixed up withplicated runes. Even those ultra beasts that had just obtained their ability cores did not have much consciousness, they could only absorb energy from it to strengthen their own consciousness.

    Qin Feng was different, and he did not need to learn those runes. During the inheritance test, there was still limitation in terms of consciousness. But now, Qin Feng¡¯s explosive energy was totally shocking.

    ¡°Ability, absorb!¡±

    A swirling vortex was formed in between Qin Feng¡¯s eyebrows, while a wild absorption drew in the icy blueke water from the outside. The Absorption Ability had drawn the water into the energy barrier of the ship. Then, they were merged into Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness realm.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness spiked. Meanwhile, the energy flow was embedded with energy that could fuel the growth of the diamond starglobe.

    Qin Feng plundered without any hesitation.

    Even the ultra beasts on the ship had clearly felt the greatly reduced energy.

    The ultra beasts were enraged again, and they wanted to kill Qin Feng.

    But at that moment, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness soared instantly.

    A4-tier!

    He had achieved another advancement.

    When he advanced, there was a terrifying burst of consciousness. It was like a shapeless and hidden giant beast that was suppressed at the bottom of everyone¡¯s heart. Qin Feng was just a weak human being, but his consciousness was as overwhelming as the consciousness of a giant beast.

    Qin Feng still continued plundering and showed no signs of stopping!

    A5-tier consciousness!

    Continuous advancement.

    At that moment, no ultra beast dared to attack Qin Feng again.

    They wished they could just kill Qin Feng on the spot, or else, Qin Feng would definitely annihte them.

    More importantly, the ship was already close to the ice starglobe.

    Of course, the gap in between was still about a thousand meters wide.

    The ultra beasts stared at the ice starglobe. In the next moment, an ultra beast activated its consciousness and extended for a thousand meters. It then took away a stone from the starglobe.

    The stone was as translucent as ice on the inside, and as pure as snow on the outside. Obviously, thebination showcased that it was a Sacred Ice Stone.

    The other ultra beasts knew that it was something valuable, and they could only get hold of it when they were close enough. All of them went wild in expanding their consciousness to pry those stones off the ice starglobe.

    Many ultra beasts ranked below A-tier beast deities had died in the battle earlier, but there were still about eight hundred S-tier ultra beasts and beast deities left. Only two hundred of them had consciousness that was strong enough to obtain those Sacred Ice Stones. Then, an array of small stones flew toward the ship.

    Even Hu San was very excited, and soon he had gotten himself a Sacred Ice Stone.

    Qin Feng did notpete with the others. He waited for the others to grab onto their own Sacred Ice Stones. Only then, his consciousness struck like a dragon, shooting out and getting closer to the ice starglobe.

    His consciousness was wrapped around the entire ice starglobe, but he soon realized its energy restrictive feature. It was like the energy storm when Qin Feng first stepped into the world. Hence, Qin Feng¡¯s formidable consciousness was scraped off again.

    With the consciousness that Qin Feng had, he could easily fiddle with objects of three hundred metres in diameter. But now, he could no longer do that.

    However, Qin Feng would not give up as he had a spatial rune equipment capacity that could fit the entire giant ice starglobe. How could he forfeit such a precious fortune that wasid bare before his eyes?

    Qin Feng transformed his consciousness into a giant palm. It grabbed onto the starglobe and pulled it toward himself.

    The other ultra beasts did not pay any attention to Qin Feng¡¯s act but Hu San was constantly focused on him. Qin Feng had demonstrated several bizarre and shocking acts, and they were also a little too forceful and recognisable.

    Meaning to say, Hu San had only seen Qin Feng in his low-profile mode. Now, Qin Feng was acting in a high-flown manner and he no longer hid himself with dark abilities.

    Therefore, Hu San had realized the extension of Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness. Surprisingly, the ice starglobe trembled for a little.

    Even Hu San¡¯s heart almost fell out.

    ¡°Qin Feng is such an evildoer!¡±

    Hu San had already felt the merciless consciousness restriction from the ice starglobe earlier. Nevertheless, Qin Feng still wished to directly pull it over.

    It was definitely a wild imagination. Surprisingly, Qin Feng managed to shake it a little. Although it was unsessful, it was already shocking enough.

    Indeed, Qin Feng did not seed in his attempt. It was an extremely heavy starglobe, and Qin Feng also felt that he managed to move it a little. Simr to moving the earth, it was absolutely impossible.

    But with Qin Feng¡¯s capability, he did not need to move the earth. He could just overturn the grounds that were covered within his consciousness.

    That trembling earlier had shaken the Scared Ice Stones, making them fall off from the starglobe. Surprisingly, there were about a thousand pieces of them in various sizes.

    Then, a thousand pieces of them were pulled back by Qin Feng consciousness.

    Other ultra beasts that had released their consciousness were agitated by the scene, and they wished they could beat him up brutally.

    They would not be offended if there was noparison.

    The first batch of Sacred Ice Stones were about the size of a fingernail each. They drifted on the icy blue water and swam back like small tadpoles.

    The second batch that cameter were like the size of a quail egg, and some of thoserger ones were about the size of a fist. There were more than a thousand pieces, and they looked just like arge shoal of sea creatures.

    Needless to say, it was such an eyesore!

    Of course, ultra beasts were not too sensitive with their feelings, but Hu San definitely got choked by it.

    ¡°Comparison with others would always bring discontent!¡± Hu San had only managed to get hold of one Sacred Ice Stone from those small tadpoles, and it was only one out of two hundred. It was like a dagger piercing Hu San¡¯s heart as hepared it with Qin Feng¡¯s reap.

    Meanwhile, the ship had stopped roving down and it gradually maintained its bnce. It circled around the ice starglobe and then began to rove up.

    Obviously, the ship was about to return!

    Qin Feng immediately seized the opportunity and activated his consciousness again to prey on more Sacred Ice Stones.

 Chapter 937 - Return

    <h4>Chapter 937: Return</h4>

    There was not even time for Hu San to envy Qin Feng. He immediately set his eyes on a Sacred Ice Stone and pulled it back.

    Qin Feng¡¯s reward was much more than the others. When the others only reaped twice, Qin Feng had already reaped thrice and the total number of his Sacred Ice Stones was about three thousand.

    However, the ship was gradually moving away and Qin Feng could not control it. He was not even sure if it would be destroyed. If he were to exit from it, would he be pumped with energy and explode like the ultra beasts from the frissure earlier.

    It was the ability core of an Immortal, and Qin Feng¡¯s foundation was too weak.

    ¡°No wonder this is called the Aether Realm, this is the ce for an Immortal. Perhaps before my rebirth, Hu San had actually obtained such a treasure and established his influence in this realm!¡±

    ¡°This is not a one-off trade after all, there will be encounters for future exploration too. There must be something else to be benefited from!¡±

    With Qin Feng¡¯s capability, he only needed umtion but not instant spike in his wealth. Hence, the reason for S-tier aptitude users to have so many subordinates was because of the vast realms under their control.

    Before leaving, every ultra beast stopped moving and began their energy absorption again. With Qin Feng¡¯s presence¡ªthe absorption devil, the surrounding energy was diluted and reduced to ground level as the ship gradually moved further away.

    The others were absorbing with their eyes closed but Qin Feng opened his eyes wide as he focused on his Absorption Ability, and he was the one who had witnessed the entire bizarre scene.

    Surprisingly, the ship was headed directly underground.

    It went through the initial stream of liquified energy, then into the deep-blue iceyer. Actually, it seemed more like a unique soil that gradually transitioned to a translucent iceyer, and sunlight from the outside was soon seen.

    Unexpectedly, the ship had taken ten days to exit from inside. Despite the limited speed, it was travelling at least twenty kilometres per hour.

    ¡°It is really like the diameter of a!¡± Qin Feng spoke with a deep voice.

    Meanwhile, Hu San had already woken up. After leaving the underground liquified area, energy sources became scarce again. The realm¡¯s surface was already near, and Hu San also stopped practicing. It was because those ultra beasts were about to leave the ship, and they might even face attacks from other ultra beasts.

    ¡°Once you are more knowledgeable about the system in the future, you will then find out more about it.¡±

    From the expedition, Qin Feng noticed changes in Hu San¡¯s behaviour and it was absolutely normal. However, Qin Feng felt that he had never heard Hu San speak about such an unfamiliar matter before his rebirth.

    Before Qin Feng could rify, the ship hadpletely surfaced on the ground. Then, their protective light barriers disappeared and a repelling force was heard from the ship. Without any hesitation, all creatures were tossed down from the ship.

    Then, the ship moved downward again. More importantly, there was no protective barrier around it. It had unexpectedly merged into the ciers and disappeared. Energy was sted out from the deep frissure again, and it was some sort of horrifying bizarre energy.

    Energy storm!

    It was the beginning of the energy storm.

    The energy that was sted out had seemingly shaken the world and the great frissure was gradually consolidating. More importantly, the energy storm was growing stronger and it was only moments away from the explosion of an annihting disaster.

    It was at that moment; other ultra beasts were preying on Qin Feng. Afterall, Qin Feng was the major winner. Also, he seemed very weak.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you all afraid of dying? Still provoking me?¡± Qin Feng dispersed his consciousness, and those ultra beasts obviously understood what he meant.

    It was like an enraged roar from an ultra beast trying to warn its opponents. Qin Feng¡¯s channelling consciousness had also revealed his oppressive pressure to those ultra beasts.

    At the same time, the pair of snow foxes had already turned around and merged themselves into the snow. They were the first to escape.

    The two little foxes were the only ones who had learned advanced abilities in the beginning.

    As the two ultra beasts had left, the others had no choice but to roar in dissatisfaction and leave as well.

    The storm became stronger after the ultra beasts had left, Qin Feng and Hu San could not stay any longer either. Both of them scouted for the correct direction and began to fall back.

    After several hours of travelling, Qin Feng and Hu San were both alerted by their ringingmunicators.

    ¡°Hu San, old dude, can¡¯t believe you are alright!¡± Beitang Gan immediately shouted.

    ¡°Haha, no worries, even the rewards are very fruitful!¡± Hu San answered with all smiles.

    ¡°That¡¯s great, that¡¯s great!¡± Beitang Gan felt relieved. There were not many like Beitang Gan who managed to survive, most of them were old folks that belonged to the previous era. Of course, they would care for each other and wish nothing but safety for their old peers.

    ¡°Well, what about Qin Feng? Is he alright? All of you will be rmending him to the Human Alliance!¡±

    Hu San thought to himself, ¡®Qin Feng is more capable than I am in keeping himself safe. He was the sole major winner for the expedition.¡¯

    ¡°All good, talk to you soon when we meetter!¡±

    After the catch-up, Hu San understood that the signaluncher that Qin Feng had released at the entrance was the best method for the others to identify their location in the great snow. Therefore, the others had set up a colony at the cave and hunted around the area for several days. Hence, Hu San decided to return to that area.

    ¡°Master Hu, I shall not follow you there. Before I came, I entered from another rift. It is best for me to exit from there, and I still have something else to take care of!¡± Qin Feng exined.

    Hu San understood that Qin Feng must have found a spatial rift, his purpose was just to explore for a little and it was just an unexpected opportunity for him. The return must be driven by his purpose to control the rift and incur it under his own resources.

    ¡°Alright, but after you are done, I still need to talk to you about something. So, just wait for me outside for several days. It would be best if you could wait at Fengli City!¡±

    Qin Feng felt that it had something to do with Hu San¡¯s purpose in looking for him earlier, and he agreed to stay.

    Then, Qin Feng and Hu San parted ways.

    Qin Feng followed the trail that he had taken earlier and returned to the cier. He had also found the ice cave that was under He Tianxing¡¯s control.

    Unconsciously, it had been almost a month in the ice realm. Although Qin Feng was not too exhausted, he was already a different person from before. The Fengli Organization had grown stronger and could not afford to lose such a leader.

    Hence, Qin Feng had decided to return for a quick rest before re-entering the ce. Furthermore, Hu San seemed to have something urgent for him.

    Fortunately, the rift on Dragon Ind was moving along with the cier under an unknown influence. Therefore, movements of the cier would not restrict entry points into it.

    Qin Feng stepped into the rift.

    The pitch-ck surrounding faded off, while all Qin Feng could feel was the instant transition into a surrounding with scorching heat. Heat waves blew along with the unique humid tropical sea breeze from the small ind.

 Chapter 938 - Human Alliance Notice

    <h4>Chapter 938: Human Alliance Notice</h4>

    He had returned from the icy realm, and he was surrounded by sceneries in diverse colours.

    Qin Feng looked at hismunicator, and within just a blink of an eye he had entered into the realm for a month.

    Also, time was immeasurable during inheritance. It was the first time where Qin Feng had encountered something unknown and uncertain after his rebirth.

    The unknowns were more horrifying. Qin Feng was not sure where he would be in the future.

    ¡°However, isn¡¯t the concrete foundation that I have now meant to be used against the uncertain future, and to secure higher chances for survivability?¡±

    Qin Feng clenched his fists.

    Then, Qin Feng removed the snow-whitebat fatigues. He put on his dark cape, dark armor, and also a helmet to hide his face.

    Dark abilities shrouded around Qin Feng¡¯s body. His aura had gradually recovered to an untraceable depth, prohibiting probing by others.

    Interestingly, Qin Feng¡¯s experience in the Aether Realm had promoted a sudden spike in his consciousness and he had already achieved consciousness coverage of an A5-tier. Even if the dark runes were not amplified, his high level of consciousness would already suffice to prohibit probing from others.

    Qin Feng flew out from the ind and secretly returned to the Dark Citadel.

    ***

    In an office within the Dark Citadel, Fire Phoenix was frowning as she examined the gathered intelligence.

    The opening time of Hell Ind for the month of June was about toe, and it was also themencement time for the Dusk Dragon Auction.

    In previous years, He Tianxing might not necessarily host the auction, but he would still enlist some items for the auction. Now that the Dark Citadel had changed its owner, the ck Alp Overlord had taken away those items instead.

    He had been untraceable for a month and Fire Phoenix was unable to get in touch with him.

    More importantly, he probably did not even want to properly operate the Dark Citadel. He just wanted to loot the ce empty and then toss it away!

    A month earlier, Fire Phoenix was still extremely grateful for the presence of the ck Alp Overlord. A monthter, the trust that had yet to umte was already slowly diminishing.

    ¡°Ay!¡± Fire Phoenix sighed unconsciously as she was struck by a sudden feeling that she had toward the uncertain future.

    It was at that moment, a dark shadow appeared by the window. It was like that person was already there long ago.

    ¡°Seems like you are not too satisfied with the task assigned by me?¡± Qin Feng spoke with a calm and casual voice.

    Fire Phoenix instantly stood up from the seat and looked at the person standing beside the window. She tried to hold back her trembling voice as she spoke. ¡°Lord ck Alp, you are back!¡±

    The voice had a mixture of fear and a slight element of surprise.

    Qin Feng thenmanded, ¡°Take care of these items for me!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand and tossed over a spatial rune ring to Fire Phoenix.

    Fire Phoenix unconsciously extended her consciousness to peek inside and saw the shocking amount of energy cores and ability cores within the space!

    All of those were obtained by Qin Feng from the Aether Realm.

    Also, they were mostly A-tier items. The Fengli Organization had developed good progress in selling technology rted items, but their core exchange business was still not as good as Wanzhong auction house.

    Not to mention, a tall tree attracts the wind. Afterall, Qin Feng was still not an S-tier, he hoped to not draw too much attention toward himself.

    ¡°Yes, Master, any item you have in mind?¡± Fire Phoenix asked.

    Certainly, after processing those items, they would be exchanged for items that were required by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Well, acquire as much as possible!¡±

    Qin Feng presented a list filled with S-tier materials that were extremely rare to find, items as rare as a Dawnstar.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber required more premium materials to advance further. Even with Qin Feng¡¯s wealth, there was no way for him to purchase those items and he could only slowly acquire them.

    ¡°Great!¡± Fire Phoenix agreed to it. ¡°This can be exchanged during the auction that will take ce three months from now. If this is urgent for you, it is also possible to get an instant arrangement!¡±

    ¡°No, I¡¯ll leave this for you to handle!¡±

    Qin Feng said so as his body slowly faded into the dark and disappeared without a trace. Fire Phoenix could not even sense Qin Feng¡¯s movements, she could only handle the task given by Qin Feng with reverence.

    Qin Feng hid his shadows but he did not leave. Instead, he changed into a suit of normalbat fatigue and entered into a hotel.

    He nned to rest for a short while. As for the decision to enter the Aether Realm or move on to other ces, it would be decidedter.

    However, Qin Feng had just finished bathing and rinsing in the hotel, he was then alerted by hismunicator.

    It was a surprising mail.

    An image appeared on the mail, showcasing a formal invitation to notify Qin Feng about joining the Human Alliance.

    ¡°What is this? Since when does the Human Alliance have a notice for members to join them?¡±

    Those who are born within the Human Alliance would automatically be considered part of the alliance. Also, Qin Feng was already considered a Mashal in the Human Alliance. The mail had indeed struck Qin Feng with confusion.

    It was at that moment, Hu San also reached out viamunicator.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you at Fengli City?¡±

    ¡°Not yet, do you need me to be there now?¡± Qin Feng understood little about it. The mentioned Human Alliance was definitely not the one he knew!

    ¡°Nevermind, no need to rush. I¡¯ll have someone deliver something to you at Fengli City, just have someone receive it. But you have to contact me beforehand, it will be easier for me to bring you in!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at the notice. Among the referrals stated, except for Hu San, there was also Nangong Zeming and Beitang Gan.

    All three of them were Qin Feng¡¯s guide.

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart burned with curiosity, he immediately answered, ¡°I will get back to Fengli right now!¡±

    ¡°Alright, you will understand this as soon as you get the item!¡±

    Qin Feng called the shots without any hesitation. He pinched a spatial stone into pieces and returned to Fengli City.

    Then, he informed Xue Xingfu and the others to take care of some matters. Half an hourter, he was approached by someone, and a card was handed over to him.

    It was a silver card made from energy materials. But it was actually embedded with spatial runes.

    Unexpectedly, it was like the Battlegod Badge, a spatial teleportation tool. It could lead to an unknown region, and it was not a one-off usage tool.

    Technological advancement of the earth had yet to have such manufacturing skills, all spatial stones were still on one-off usage standards.

    Qin Feng now understood what Hu San meant. No wonder Hu San mentioned that he would understand it as soon as he had gotten the item. It meant that Qin Feng was supposed to enter into the spatial realm.

    Qin Feng did not hesitate at all; he infused his internal energy and activated the card.

    In the next moment, a spatial passage was activated. Furthermore, the entrance was fit for the size of an ordinary human being. Not like those that were previously seen, in a circled ck hole or vortex shaped.

    Such a scenario indicated that it was meant to be used by humans.

    Qin Feng took his first step into it!

 Chapter 939 - The Real Human Alliance

    <h4>Chapter 939: The Real Human Alliance</h4>

    After he stepped through the entrance, in a brief moment, all that Qin Feng felt was nothing but darkness around him¡ªeven his consciousness wentpletely blind and could not sense anything at all. Then, all of a sudden, Qin Feng¡¯s senses and consciousness were working again. He was now in a different realm!

    ¡°Ugh! So heavy!¡±

    The first thing Qin Feng felt was that the gravity in this area was quite powerful¡ªso powerful that Qin Feng was forced to drop to his knees as soon as he arrived.

    Then, Qin Feng was attracted by everything around him.

    He was standing in the middle of a rather huge za, one which had over thousands of doors on it.

    Then, Qin Feng turned around and saw arge building in front of him.

    The building was radiating colorful lights, indicating that it contained countless runes in it. This building was probably constructed with some unique, sturdy minerals¡ªit was so strong and sturdy that probably not even S-tiers could destroy it.

    And on the top of the building, there was a unique conscious energy emitting from the top floor. It was not just some mere consciousness energy¡ªit was a massive sign made of conscious energy; the sign was announcing a name.

    When Qin Feng looked at the top floor from the za, he could clearly sense a familiar name from it¡ª¡±Human Alliance¡±.

    What made this ce more peculiar was that it felt as though everything around him was made of consciousness. It felt as though it was the consciousness realm that the C-tiers could enter.

    However, this ce was real.

    Voosh!

    A ray of silver light shed on a door next to Qin Feng. Then, a human walked out of the door.

    Voosh Voosh Voosh!

    Then, many humans walked out of the door and toward the building. All of them were emitting the presence of S-tiers.

    There were at least a thousand such humans walking through the door. However, there should not be that many S-tiers on Earth right now.

    Just what kind of organization was this?

    It was then, Hu San had found Qin Feng amidst the crowd.

    ¡°Qin Feng, there you are! Come! I¡¯ll help you register yourmunicator.¡±

    ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Qin Feng nodded his head before asking, ¡°Master Hu, just where is this? These S-tiers... they don¡¯t seem to be from our world.¡±

    Hu San nodded. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right. This is the ce where humans from various realms band together. In other words, this is the real Human Alliance. And only S-tiers can visit here.¡±

    Qin Feng already had some idea as to what this ce was earlier. However, after finally getting his answer, Qin Feng still could not help but to feel surprised.

    ¡°Various realms? Does that mean this Human Alliance here has already discovered all of the realms?¡±

    Hu San shook his head. ¡°No. Realms appear and copse every day. No one knows what realm will appear today and which one will fall tomorrow.¡±

    After taking a pause, Hu San asked, ¡°Qin Feng, after visiting that realm we have been to, have you not noticed anything?¡±

    Qin Feng was now a powerful entity. So, after visiting that realm, Qin Feng had plenty of thoughts and theories on what was going on.

    ¡°You mean... after an Immortal perishes, instead of dying, he would be a realm?¡±

    This was a bold guess. Yet, it was the most logical spection to exin whatever that happened back there.

    Hu San nodded. ¡°You are correct. After an Immortal perishes, his consciousness will expand exponentially, filling the void in the area with his energy¡ªa ¡®Big Bang¡¯ if you will, thus, giving birth to a new universe. ¡±

    ¡°That realm we visited was once an Ice-type Immortal. The countless ice runes that were in him had dispersed throughout the newly birthed realm, making everything in view nothing but snow and ice. However, the universe would eventually find bnce. As his powers and energies spread thin to the far edges, the world would gradually be nominal and gain a fair bnce of various types of runes, then new living creatures of various species would emerge. This would begin the cycle of life, on and on, until a new Immortal is born.¡±

    Qin Feng was so astounded when he heard this. Then, a question crawled up in his mind.

    ¡°But our world... there were no runes before the Great Rift. Why do we have runes now?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Hu San smiled bitterly. ¡°Well, just think of it as our world making itsst stand before exhaling itsst breath.¡±

    Qin Feng asked hesitantly, ¡°What... What do you mean?¡±

    ¡°Because our world is already copsing as we speak.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned pale upon hearing this. Indeed, he had learned about realms falling and copsing¡ªlike the realm on the other side of the dimensional crack in the Blood River Realm. However, he had never known about the real nature behind such a phenomenon.

    And right now, he finally understood.

    That realm was in the final moments of its lifespan. As such, it opened up a rift and connected to various realms as thest ditch effort to remain ¡°alive¡±. When it acquired the vibrant amount of runes from Qin Feng¡¯s world, it finally was able to gain some breath of life in it.

    And this was how realms came and went. Again and again.

    However, no one liked to see their own home world copsing to nothingness.

    ¡°The humankind is a peculiarly rare breed of species in all of the known realms. We are small in number but we are known to be highly intelligent, capable of high level learning, developing new technologies in a short span of time and learning various kinds of ancient martial arts. However, our kind is still prenatally weaker whenpared to other species that could just be born straight into immortality.¡±

    ¡°Regardless, if one wants to protect and maintain an existing realm, he must be an Immortal. Of course, this is no easy feat. However, there¡¯s still another way¡ªwhich is to ask other human Immortals in the Human Alliance toe to our world to help defend our world.¡±

    Qin Feng finally understood where they got the Immortal from before he was reborn. They most likely got the Immortal from this ce!

    ¡°Ah, I see! I understand now.¡±

    ¡°However, there¡¯s one problem with humankind¡ªwe tend to fight amongst ourselves all the time. So, it¡¯s not easy to ask a human Immortal from another realm toe over to help us. Not without a dear cost. Sometimes, the cost is so high that we can¡¯t afford to pay. This is why it¡¯s best that we can get our own Immortal.¡±

    ¡°Indeed.¡±

    They walked through the entrance of the building as they were talking. When he walked through the door, Qin Feng noticed even the inside of the building was quite gigantic too. There were various kinds of technologies on disy around him, emitting words innguages that he had never seen before via conscious energy.

    ¡°This feels like the Ability User Lobby!¡±

    ¡°Yes. There are over thousands of realms. Some are powerful, some are weak. The strong are unwilling to waste their time while the weak need protection. Thus, countless race wars have been started in the realms. All of these realms need help. Still, it¡¯s best that you keep out of these race wars. You might be a cannon fodder by participating in a war that is not yours to fight.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded in agreement. Not familiar with the politics and affairs in this ce yet, Qin Feng was not going to hastily ept missions here either.

    Hu San then stopped at one of the booths nearby, teaching Qin Feng how to register for a uniquemunicator and identification.

    After that, they needed to test Qin Feng¡¯s capabilities.

    There were of course unique testing facilities. These testing facilities were even more refined than the testing machines that Qin Feng had brought along to the Blood River Realm back then.

    Other than Qin Feng, there were other people nearby who needed testing. And he could sense that all of them were S-tiers.

 Chapter 940 - The Terrifying Damage

    <h4>Chapter 940: The Terrifying Damage</h4>

    Not only that, the man who was standing next to him was quite young¡ªabout twenty years old. It was near impossible for anyone to reach S-tier in Qin Feng¡¯s world at this age.

    However, in this ce, although there were not many men this young around, there were still quite a number of them in the vicinity.

    ¡°Liu Han, just rx and simplynd a hit.¡± Another older man spoke to the young man, Liu Han.

    Liu Han was already a confirmed S-tier; so, he did not need to put in too much effort in passing the test.

    ¡°Yes, Uncle!¡± Liu Han replied. Yet, he still conjured up energy with full attention. After all, the gravity of this realm was quite strong; so, he was worried that this would affect his result.

    The older man then turned and saw Qin Feng and Hu San. He opened his mouth in surprise. ¡°Oh, you¡¯re Hu San, right? The Hu San from that pariah realm?¡±

    Hu San had already noticed him from miles away earlier but he did not want to speak to him. He did not expect this man toe and speak to them. This man was about thirty five years old but he was already an S9-tier¡ªtwo tiers much higher than Hu San.

    The major difference between the two was their age.

    Hu San reached S-tier in his 60s. Then, in the span of the next two hundred years, he had already be a frail, old man. And to the others, this meant that Hu San was a talentless man¡ªa man who would not reach greatness no matter how hard he trained.

    And this led to the S9-tier man calling him as someoneing from a ¡°pariah realm¡±.

    An insult to Hu San and his world.

    ¡°Liu Long, stop with this pariah realm nonsense, will you? You do realize that this will be an offensive taunt to us when we eventually get our own Immortal?¡± Hu San retorted.

    Liu Long burst intoughter before keeping on with his belittling, ¡°But everyone from your realm is here, are you not? So, where¡¯s your Immortal, hmm? I don¡¯t see any talented people from your world around. Oh, and that Li Xiao? Just anyone from our family tree could beat him!¡±

    Li Xiao was indeed the hope of humankind. However, in the eyes of thousands of human realms, Li Xiao was not some impressive entity. His potential and talent were not the best in the eyes of the countless realms out there. Not only that, it was said that he only had a sliver of hope in bing an Immortal. It was not a guarantee for him to ascend to be an Immortal.

    And speaking of the Immortals, there were actually a few of them in the Human Alliance.

    They only had eight Immortals.

    Hu San was now in his old age; so, he had very little fight in himpared to his younger days. However, he could not help but feel offended by Liu Long¡¯s demeaning words.

    It was then, Liu Han hadnded a punch on the testing machine.

    Boom!!

    As his fist sank into the massive rock, a number jumped into view on the screen above!

    <ol start=¡±3928¡å>

    Hu San was stunned when he saw this; Qin Feng too, raised an eyebrow when he saw it.

    The way the machines here calcted their power levels was quite different from how Qin Feng¡¯s did it. 1 point was equal to 10,000 points of actual attack power. This meant that Liu Han had just dished out a punch that could deal 40,000,000 points of raw damage.

    Back at the Blood River Realm, Gu Thai¡¯s fist was able to deal a damage this powerful too. However, Gu Thai was a seasoned S-tier. This young man, however, had just recently ascended to S-tier and yet he already had this kind of power.

    ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m done with the test.¡± Liu Han said to his uncle before giving Qin Feng a haughty look.

    It was quite apparent that he had heard what his uncle said earlier. As such, he had used his full force to dish out that punch onto the machine earlier; if not, it was quite difficult for a recently ascended S-tier to ¡°simply¡± dish out that kind of damage.

    After seeing Liu Han¡¯s result, Liu Long nodded as a glitter of hubris curved up a smile on his face before looking at Qin Feng.

    Hu San was from a ¡°pariah realm¡±. As such, the man he brought was not going to be any good.

    ¡°My nephew here is from a subsidiary family of the Lius. He has been training since he was a boy. He¡¯s not the best in the family but this will do. Oh, and how about this boy you¡¯ve brought, Hu San? Come on, let us see how well he does in his test.¡±

    Liu Han raised an eyebrow when he noticed that Qin Feng was actually younger than him. Not only that, this ¡°boy¡± seemed to show some level-headed maturity in his demeanor.

    Still, so what if he seemed like a seasoned veteran. This boy was still from a ¡°pariah realm¡±. Even though he could ascend to S-tier, there was no way he was going to be any stronger than him. Thus, Liu Han curved up an orgulous smile at Hu San and Qin Feng.

    ¡°Master Hu, let me try.¡±

    Qin Feng smirked after seeing just how conceited the Lius were.

    Who said there was no way their world could not have birthed an Immortal.

    In the near future, he would definitely be that Immortal!

    As he thought to himself, Qin Feng conjured up energy in his body.

    A1-tier beast deity had about 1500 points of power in it. So...

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion! Nine Stars!¡±

    Booom!!

    Qin Feng fistnded on the machine, almost curving the metallic te inward as the entire machine shook immensely.

    Then, the number appeared.

    28531!

    Hu San was shocked when he saw the number. He did not know that Qin Feng had already acquired nine stars of internal energy. He did not know just what kind of neigong Qin Feng had learned. And right now, the result shown onscreen was the true carnage of his raw power¡ªone that was quite terrifyingly powerful!

    Qin Feng had only just ascended to A-tier at the Blood River Realm. And then, just by growing a little, Qin Feng¡¯s attack had already grown by 100 million!

    Liu Han and Liu Long¡¯s eyes were wide open as their jaws rolled on the ground.

    Qin Feng¡¯s attack was seven times stronger than Liu Han¡¯s. This felt as though his fist had not just punched on the machine but also on their faces too.

    Despite thinking that he was a genius, Liu Long could only dish out, at most, 90,000,000 points of attack when he ascended to S-tier back then.

    And more importantly, when Qin Feng dished out that punch, Liu Long noticed that Qin Feng did not seem to have exerted much energy at all¡ªno panting, no sweating. Like it was a piece of cake. How could this be possible?!

    ¡°Hahaha! It seems that our realm will indeed get our own Immortal soon!¡± Hu San beamed up a smile.

    ¡°Hehe, yeah! Congrattions to you, then!¡± Liu Long clenched his teeth before walking away.

    ¡°I¡¯ll remember this!¡± Liu Han red at Qin Feng before following his uncle out.

 Chapter 941 - The Missing SSS-tier

    <h4>Chapter 941: The Missing SSS-tier</h4>

    Liu Han was an extended family of the Lius. As such, his family did not have enough resources delegated to them by the main family throughout their known lives. Liu Han had gotten to where he was now all due to his sheer hard work.

    If Qin Feng did not perform as well as he did in the test earlier and had allowed Liu Han to shine, Liu Long might put in a good word for him and his family amongst the Lius, giving them more status and resources.

    However, this was all down the drain. Liu Long was probably going to berate him for being uselesster.

    To Liu Han, if it were not for Qin Feng, there would not be so many problems that he had to face. Thus, he threw Qin Feng a re and med him for all this.

    Of course, Qin Feng could care less about what Liu Han thought about him. He did not not only to save Hu San¡¯s face but also to tell others who might be watching¡ªthat their realm was not some weakling world that anyone coulde and step on.

    ¡°Is the result sufficient to pass?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°Of course it¡¯s enough to pass! If this result isn¡¯t enough, I don¡¯t think any other result is worth a pass.¡± Hu San replied.

    ¡°Good.¡±

    After logging in the result, Qin Feng received a card. After dripping a few drops of his blood onto it, the card morphed into his Identification Card, which he then inserted into his newmunicator. Qin Feng was now finally a member of the real Human Alliance. Of course, his identification stated that he was an S-tier ancient warrior, not the A-tier ancient warrior like what Earth recorded.

    After dealing with all these, Hu San began exining a few more things, ¡°In the realms that are known, humans generally hold four professions. There are, as you know, the ancient warriors, ability users and gunslingers. Other than these three, there is also the beastmaster. Beastmasters are the type that are in many ways simr to what you can do. However, the ultra beasts in our realm are too powerful to tame. As such, we could not introduce this profession to our world.¡±

    ¡°In our world, humans tend to congregate together. This is how our martial arts, qinggong and neigong, got widely spread in our society. There are so many of them that one should pay great attention in choosing the martial arts that are suitable for them. Of course, there¡¯s also the rune abilities. The need to choose the abilities is much less than the martial arts due to how abilities are awakened as well as the rarity of runes. Then, we have the gunneries. Guns are expensive and could be upgraded via technology. However, not many know how to manufacture their own weapons, so most gunslingers would just buy a gun from a gunsmith.¡±

    ¡°Beastmasters, however, are rather unique. They utilize consciousness to control ultra beasts and this requires a lot of conscious energy. Not only that, most of their methods are well-kept secrets amongst themselves.¡±

    ¡°I suppose, opening up the doors to various realms for you would allow you to acquire more resources and means of getting stronger.¡±

    Hu San then gave him further guidance on how the various realms worked. However, despite Hu San¡¯s greatest efforts, there was a lot of knowledge and techniques that existed in the multi-worlds that could not be taught¡ªthese required Qin Feng to go out there and experience them himself.

    ¡°One more thing.¡± A stern, serious look crept onto Hu San¡¯s face. ¡°If you see any champion from the Dark Coalition out there, do exercise caution.¡±

    Qin Feng was stunned.

    ¡°The Dark Coalition has a foothold out there too? But why are they at odds with us out there? Aren¡¯t they humans too?¡±

    Qin Feng thought that the Dark Coalition only existed in their world. He did not think they had also established some traction outside of their realm.

    After experiencing rebirth, Qin Feng had encountered He Tianxing, Voodoo Lord, Eye Devil and Ayshan. And he noticed that Hu San and other higher-ups in the Human Alliance did not seem to harbor much hostility toward these members of the Dark Coalition.

    Qin Feng actually thought that He Tianxing and the other S-tiers from their world¡¯s Dark Coalition were also members of this ¡°Real Human Alliance¡±, thinking that even though they were at odds in their own world, when stepping out they were all allies.

    After hearing Hu San¡¯s words, Qin Feng now knew that this was not the case.

    ¡°We and they... We don¡¯t share the same vision for humankind.¡± Hu San replied, ¡°After reaching our level of strength, it is rather difficult for anyone to change our views. When humans need to grow stronger, we would require resources to do so. The Human Alliance¡¯s vision maintains that we should never utilize the world¡¯s energy core¡ªlike the Immortal¡¯s core that you saw before.¡±

    Qin Feng began to understand what Hu San was talking about, ¡°So, you mean that the Dark Coalition does not care if a world is going to copse or not. They will use up the world¡¯s energy core and dry it up for self-serving reasons. Is this why they and the Human Alliance don¡¯t see eye to eye with one another?¡±

    ¡°Precisely. The people in the Dark Coalition are selfish. Some of them are mad men, purposely going to other human realms and drying up their energy cores, resulting in their worlds¡¯ copse. The Human Alliance believes in the natural order of things. And a world¡¯s copse should be a natural urrence, not one caused by men.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded in agreement.

    Then, Hu San summoned a hovercraft and brought Qin Feng away from the city.

    ¡°This is the central citadel. And our Earth is indeed a lower ranked world, like what Liu Long said. So, even if we have the money to buy a piece ofnd here, we are still too weak to attain it. Staying here will only make us theughing stock of others. This is why we established another small town about half an hour¡¯s journey away.¡±

    Hu San had already booked Qin Feng a ce in that town, so that he would have a base of operation here.

    The reason Hu San picked a hovercraft for means of transportation was because he was worried that Qin Feng might not befortable in interacting with other S-tiers. After all, in their world, Qin Feng was just an A1-tier.

    ¡°There are not many people in the town. Due to the high-tech that we use, you can find mostly robots serving visitors here.¡±

    ¡°I see.¡± Qin Feng answered, ¡°So, how many S-tiers do we have in our realm¡¯s Human Alliance?¡±

    Qin Feng did not have the full picture on this information.

    Hu San sighed, ¡°In our world¡¯s Human Alliance, there should be around two hundred eighty three S-tiers, eleven SS-tiers and... well, we had one SSS-tier before but now he has gone missing. He was once a member of the Huaxia Alliance.¡±

    ¡°The one from Prince Xiao¡¯s family?¡± Qin Feng had heard Z mentioned this before.

    ¡°Yes. Li Yuan, the Sword Saint. But... he has gone missing for over thirty years now. Perhaps... he has already passed away by now. There¡¯s still an SS-tier in their family. Prince Xiao is about to ascend soon; so, the Lis are quite influential and reputable in the Huaxia Alliance.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. Although he had butted heads with Liu Chong before, Li Xiao did not seem to harbor hostility toward Qin Feng at all when they worked together to take on the Dragon-bornes.

    Of course, they could probably still maintain this neutral rtionship while Qin Feng had not directly conflicted with Li Xiao¡¯s interest. Nheless, Qin Feng still needed to be careful whenever dealing with Li Xiao in the future. A family that could birth an SSS-tier was not one to be trifled with.

    Hu San then told Qin Feng to take a look at hismunicator to learn more about the world out here. Recalling the martial arts that Hu San had mentioned earlier, Qin Feng excitedly activated hismunicator to check them out.

    There were a lot of martial art manuals that were on sale. Qin Feng clicked straight to the S-tier arts without hesitation. He was surprised to learn that there were at least fifty thousand S-tiers avable.

    Each of these S-tier arts was rather rare in each realm. Even Dragon Capital only had about a dozen S-tier arts avable in their archive.

    However, there were fifty thousand of them on sale here?!

    However, the more Qin Feng read their introduction, the more confused he got.

    Why were all these S-tier neigong so unremarkably weak? The strongest neigong could only amplify one¡¯s internal energy thrice.

    Asteroid Assimtion could easily amplify his internal energy ten times from how it was!

    Qin Feng originally thought that he needed to find a better neigong after ascending to S-tier. However, it seemed that there was not even one S-tier neigong that couldpete with Asteroid Assimtion.

    ¡°Wait...!¡±

    Suddenly, a terrifying, bold hypothesis shed across Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

 Chapter 942 - Naming the Dimension

    <h4>Chapter 942: Naming the Dimension</h4>

    ¡®Asteroid Assimtion? Why is it called Asteroid Assimtion?¡¯

    ¡®Asteroid Assimtion is a skill that allows its user to withdraw internal strength from others. You could also call it power sucker or whatever name you see fit.¡¯

    ¡®Asteroid... Does this asteroid refer to the star within cores of realms?¡¯

    ¡®Asteroid Assimtion was once thought to be an evil art. It would drive its user insane and violent to kill and plunder internal force without restraint. However, since I also possess the Absorption Ability, I could nullify the mental influence of this art on me. As such, Asteroid Assimtion is no longer an evil art in my hand.¡¯

    ¡®Now that I think about it, this art probably belongs to the Dark Coalition. Not only that but it could very well be an art invented by an Immortal. Other than that, nobody would be arrogant enough to im that he or she could assimte stars.¡¯

    The more Qin Feng thought about it, the more he believed this. Asteroid Assimtion absorbed a human¡¯s internal force, which was then stored inside the dantian. When Qin Feng attained S-tier, his dantian transformed into a realm like his consciousness and housed frozen stars in it.

    Hence, Qin Feng postted that Asteroid Assimtion could also be used to harness the power from a realm¡¯s core (a star) in the advanced stage, which in some sense was simr to human dantian.

    This was undoubtedly a godlike art.

    It was not something Qin Feng had thought of before. Now that he knew how powerful this ability was, he would keep this secret to himself to the end of eternity.

    Everyone in the Dark Coalition would yearn for such a skill, while at the same time it was also a great threat to the Human Alliance.

    Qin Feng believed that the Human Alliance would not mind sacrificing him to eliminate a hidden menace.

    While the train of thoughts in his mind raced wildly, the hovercraft had reached its destination. It was a small town known only by number¡ªTown 14214.

    There were still ample vacant vis in this town. Hu San picked one for Qin Feng as his residence here. The card given to Qin Feng could ess a small spatial waymark portal inside the town so that he could return to the central citadel anytime.

    After settling down, Hu San told him the final purpose of today¡¯s series of actions.

    ¡°Qin Feng, the realm that we went to previously, is likely to be the ce where the Immortal had died. There isn¡¯t any human living there yet and I wish to develop it. This project is currently managed by me, Nangong Zeming, and Beitang Gan. Are you interested in participating?¡±

    Qin Feng was intrigued. He was, of course, interested to get involved in the Aether Realm. He was even thinking about absorbing the ability core of the Immortal.

    However, the Immortal¡¯s crystal core was beyond the capacity of the Asteroid Assimtion. Qin Feng wondered whether his innate Absorption Ability could assimte it. He could test it if the spatial ever reopened again.

    ¡°Master Hu, I am more than pleased. But, am I qualified?¡±

    Hu Sanughed, ¡°If you are not, then none of us are. We need you in there.¡±

    After that, Hu San notified Beitang Gan and Nangong Zeming through themunicator. They swiftly arrived at Qin Feng¡¯s vi.

    ¡°Marshal Qin, congrattions for joining the Human Alliance,¡± Nangong Zemingmended.

    ¡°Thank you!¡± Qin Feng replied politely. They took their seats and an AI robot served them respective beverages.

    They then discussed the details on the development of the uncharted dimension. This ranged from defense systems, spatial stabilizers, to spatial tunnel cements and future expansions, security structures, as well as manpower to be invested.

    In terms of manpower, Qin Feng had a limited supply. He thus invested more in money and machines.

    The return was naturally the loot retrieved from the realm, such as hunted beasts, mineral mines, herbs, etc. More so, Qin Feng would also be notified the first time when the spatial rift that led to the Immortal reopened in the future.

    In short, endless opportunities and benefits were waiting to be reaped.

    They came into a consensus rather quickly. Qin Feng and Hu San would take 30% of the profits, while Beitang Gan and Nangong Zeming imed 20% each.

    If there was no new blood joining, this contract wouldst for a year and be reallocated after that.

    ¡°Now, let¡¯s give this realm a new name,¡± Hu San suggested.

    Nangong Zeming said, ¡°There are a lot of wyverns and dragons on this snow ind. It is a treacherous ce. Should we just name it Dragon Ind?¡±

    Qin Feng nodded in agreement. After all, that ce was indeed called Dragon Ind in his past life.

    However, Beitang Gan held a different opinion. ¡°You only named the ind, how about the realm? The realm is constantly ravaged by a storm, why don¡¯t we call it the Feilian* Realm.¡±

    ¡°Why don¡¯t we call it Xueshen* Realm instead? This newly emerged dimension belongs to an ice-type immortal!¡± Hu San remarked.

    ¡°I think that name has already been registered in the Human Alliance,¡± Beitang Gan exined.

    ¡°It¡¯s just a name, after all. Let¡¯s stick to the Aether Realm. Who cares about whether there¡¯s a simr name out there or not? Not that we are going to report this to the Alliance anytime soon. This is still only an inhabitable realm at the moment. Chances are it could copse any time before we fully stabilize it.¡± Nangong Zeming said carefreely.

    ¡°Alright then.¡±

    ¡°Aether Realm it is.¡±

    ¡°I agree.¡±

    Together, they had decided the name for this dimension. This was all very new to Qin Feng. Exploring an unknown dimension, naming it, harnessing its resources, and more. He had now officially stepped into the center of power among the S-tiers.

    ¡®However, I am not an actual S-tier yet. My influence is limited only to the S-tiers that understand my true strength. A-tiers who have never seen me fight would not be willing to take me as their master. I should rank up and upgrade my tier as soon as possible.¡¯

    After the meeting, they split up and got to work. Qin Feng did not immediately return to Earth. He immersed himself in the newmunicator, wanting toprehend more about the Human Alliance.

    He was deeply interested in the various bounty missions posted on the web. However, the Human Alliance was a ce for true S-tiers. If he insisted on staying and exploring without Hu San, he could very well be cannon fodder here.

    Qin Feng decided that he should strengthen himself first ande back once he had reached S-tier. He finally put down the newmunicator and took out the Spatial Waymark card. It opened a spatial tunnel that led him back to Fengli City.

    ¡°Notify the managers that I would like to meet them in an hour¡¯s time. Those that can¡¯t make it should still attend through video conference.¡± Qin Feng sent the message to Xue Xingfu.

    ¡°Yes, President.¡± Xue Xingfu immediately passed on the order.

    The Fengli Organization was very different from the time it was newly established. The upper echelon might not necessarily be powerful users. In fact, Qin Feng was against giving B-tierbatants an important position in the management.

    At least, those B-tiers that joined from Chongluo City had been gradually dispatched out to other colonies under Qin Feng¡¯smand. They still enjoyed lucrative pay and benefits, but the resources given to them were not the best.

    In contrast, Xue Xingfu, Zhou Hao, and Chu Fan had be Qin Feng¡¯s most trusted right-hand men. Among them, Zhou Hao was the strongest at a measly C8-tier.

    *Trantor¡¯s note: Feilian (·ÉÁ®) and Xueshen (Ñ©Éñ) are representations of wind and snow deities, respectively, in Chinese mythology. Wind deity is alsomonly known as Fengshen (·çÉñ).

 Chapter 943 - Only One?

    <h4>Chapter 943: Only One?</h4>

    Other than Chu Fan, who was based at the Blood River Realm, the other two had attended the meeting in person. Half of the management team attended through video conference.

    ¡°I will be exploring and developing a new realm with several S-tiers in theing days. Thus, I am going to pull certain people, money, and tech support away from current operations.¡±

    Qin Feng immediately stunned the attendees with a straightforward announcement.

    Though they knew how strong Qin Feng was, he was still only an A-tier aptitude user.

    Indeed, the reason why the Fengli Organization could stand firm and flourish in this tumultuous world had Qin Feng solely to thank. He had not lost a single fight against their potentialpetitor or threat so far.

    In the Blood River Realm, Qin Feng weathered the punch from Fist God and sessfully retained control over the realm. However, he still had to share the resources with other A-tiers.

    Now, he was going to coborate with other S-tiers.

    That was an unexpected leap that came sooner than they thought.

    Qin Feng quickly borated on the condition of Dragon Ind. Though it was close to inhabitable, the amount of energy there was nothing Earth couldpare to.

    The managers who attended the meeting felt mostly uneasy rather than jubnt.

    They could hardly follow their president¡¯s pace. Qin Feng was advancing too fast.

    The Blood River Realm was already a mammoth step. But Aether Realm was on an entirely different level. The ultra beasts that roamed the realm were majority beast emperors. It was simply too dangerous.

    Most importantly, none of them could go with Qin Feng. There was not a single A-tier among the management group.

    It was also too short a notice to hire anyone of that caliber now.

    ¡°President, we don¡¯t have any A-tier in the organization. If we are only contributing money, I reckon the other parties would keep their promise since you are dealing with trustworthy S-tiers. My concern is that their subordinates probably wouldn¡¯t be too pleased.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right. Any form of coboration will only work if all parties are equal. We can¡¯t even dispatch enough B-tiers to the realm, let alone A-tiers!¡±

    ¡°Business-wise, this is not a safe investment. Don¡¯t we be made cat¡¯s paws!¡±

    They debated heatedly. With their organization¡¯s future on the line, they tended to expect the worst. No doubt, the S-tiers were all well-respected figures and the group for sure admired their aplishment. But when they were put in this position, it was difficult not to at least be wary of them and the true intention behind this too-good-to-be-true coboration.

    ¡°Don¡¯t judge prematurely, and no need to panic. I will stay in the Aether Realm for a while. Make sure you all catch up while I am away.¡± Qin Feng purposely nced at Xue Xingfu when he said that.

    Ten yearster, Xue Xingfu would be an A-tier after piling up enough resources. However, he was way behind schedule being a mere C5-tier now. His talent would not be worse than Zheng Lin, right?

    Qin Feng was certain that Xue Xingfu had not put in enough effort in this matter.

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s mind spun quickly and he immediately came up with an excuse. Heughed and said, ¡°This is not a pressing problem. Have you all forgotten about what Chu Fan is working on recently?¡±

    Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and nced at Chu Fan.

    On Chu Fan¡¯s desk, a robotic dog jumped up vigorously.

    ¡°I have been working hard these past few months to produce the first prototype of mecha controble by a human. It only requires a C-tier conscious power to unleash powerparable to an A-tier aptitude user,¡± The robo-dog spoke proudly.

    Chu Fan nodded and continued, ¡°So far, I have only built one. I am still finding a way to mass-produce it but the materials needed are simply too rare. A mecha of A-tier level would require an undamaged, well-preserved carcass of an A-tier beast emperor. Thebat power of the mecha depends solely on its maniptor. The result could be that of a beast deity, but could also be as pathetic as a beast general.¡±

    Judging by Chu Fan¡¯s perfectionism, he certainly considered such a prototype a failure.

    ¡°Only one? That would do for now!¡±

    Qin Feng surveyed the meeting table. Chu Fan was stationed at the Blood River Realm right now, while Xue Xingfu had to stay in Fengli City to look over the corporate business. Zhou Hao was also not a suitable candidate for the same reason.

    More importantly, they had to deal with S-tiers in Aether Realm on this trip. He had to bring along someone that was slick and sly at the same time.

    To be honest, Guo Guan and Guo Song were good candidates. Unfortunately, they once belonged to the Dark Coalition. Though they were clean now, Qin Feng did not want them to risk their lives. If they were ever recognized and killed by old foes from the Human Alliance for past grudges, then Qin Feng would lose two very capable subordinates.

    ¡°Wang Chen, I want you to go with me.¡± Qin Feng finally decided.

    Wang Chen was now a C7-tier gunslinger. Qin Feng believed he could reach B-tier in no time after he moved to the Aether Realm that was blooming with raw energy.

    ¡°Oh! Yes, Sir!¡± Wang Chen raised no objection and obeyed immediately.

    To prepare for their trip, Xue Xingfu immediately appropriated funds to manufacture energy sters and backup that Qin Feng and Wang Chen might needter. These matters wereter delegated directly into Wang Chen¡¯s hand.

    Qin Feng trusted his man and did not interfere with the preparation at all. Five dayster, he and Wang Chen finally departed to Xue Yuen State.

    If Hu San had not told him, Qin Feng would never have found Hu San¡¯s ce in this vast wilderness.

    This ce sat right next to the rift connected to Dragon Ind so Hu San could hibernate here after suffering the fatal injury and retained hisst breath thanks to the dynamic energy leaking out through the rift.

    But those were things in the past. After Hu San experienced the Inheritance left by the Immortal, his power had enhanced dramatically. From now onward, the fate of this old man would slowly be diverted away from what Qin Feng once knew.

    When Qin Feng arrived with Wang Chen, the other three groups had long been waiting. There were a total of thousands of people gathered around the entrance.

    Qin Feng scanned the crowd with his consciousness. There were only fourteen A-tier aptitude users, followed by about three hundred B-tiers and roughly seven hundred C-tiers. The B and C-tiers were probably brought over to help in constructing the base or stabilizing the realm. It was impossible to ask them to hunt there.

    When Qin Feng emerged, Beitang Gan¡¯s sight immediately fell on the young man beside him. He was stunned. ¡°Qin Feng, you only brought over one person? And his tier...¡±

    Beitang Gan frowned. ¡®Why did he bring a C-tier with him? At least ask a B-tier...¡¯

    ¡°One is sufficient,¡± Qin Feng replied lightheartedly.

    ¡°Alright, it is what it is. We will still treat you as equals and won¡¯t act in an unjust manner,¡± Beitang Gan promised.

    After all, their lives were saved by Qin Feng. Furthermore, Qin Feng was an official member of the Human Alliance now and had a bright future. It did not actually matter how many men he brought. They did not expect much from the A-tier, to begin with.

    ¡°Sure!¡± Qin Fen did not say much. On the other hand, Wang Chen was rather nervous. This was the first time he had met someone as daunting as Beitang Gan. The S-tier¡¯s impressive aura spooked him to the point where he did not even dare to stare at his shoes.

    Other than that, Wang Chen could feel the heated gazes from the crowd too.

    The B and C-tiers did not understand why Beitang Gan was talking to Qin Feng respectfully. Only the A-tiers were told that Qin Feng was one of the coborating parties.

    ¡°Is this guy named Qin Feng getting all the benefits for nothing? That¡¯s cheap!¡±

    ¡°Rumors say that he is pretty strong. I think he is just good at taming weak beasts.¡±

    ¡°I still don¡¯t understand why Hu San wants to coborate with him as an equal.¡±

    Some did not know about Qin Feng, while some had only heard about his story. They all concluded that Qin Feng was only lucky. They had never seen it so they did not know how dominant Qin Feng was.

    Hence, they all looked at Qin Feng with slight discontent. Wang Chen was inevitably being scorned too.

    This only piled on more pressure onto Wang Chen¡¯s already burdened shoulder.

 Chapter 944 - Mecha

    <h4>Chapter 944: Mecha</h4>

    After a while, Hu San came out from his hut. He first greeted Qin Feng, then announced, ¡°Since everyone is here, it¡¯s time to go.¡±

    Hu San led them into a secret vault where the rift was in.

    Qin Feng only had onepany, so they went in first. It was a different scenery this time.

    In his previous life, Qin Feng knew Hu San controlled one of the entrances to Dragon Ind. However, he never had the opportunity to visit the realm in this wilderness. There were no fortified defenses. This was the first time Qin Feng knew Hu San¡¯s key to the ind wasid bare under the vault. That was why Hu San¡¯s ce was constantly being attacked.

    On Dragon Ind, Qin Feng could sense that an energy storm was brewing. It was at about the same intensity the first time he visited the ind.

    ¡°It¡¯s so cold in here!¡± Wang Chen could not stop shivering.

    ¡°Put on the mecha. This is not a ce for C-tiers like you. You are no different from a baby in this unforgiving realm,¡± Qin Feng said.

    Wang Chen immediately took out the mecha. The first prototype stood at about twelve meters high.

    ¡°What is this?¡± Beitang Gan was stunned looking at the towering mecha.

    Qin Feng briefly exined the machine and exined that it still had untapped potential.

    Beitang Gan was intrigued. He said excitedly, ¡°Do you still have any of this? Is Fengli going to sell them?¡±

    The S-tier did not have many promising descendants or subordinates under him now. If this mecha worked as good as it sounded, he would not mind breaking the bank to own them.

    However, even if Chu Fan found a way to mass-produce them in the future, Qin Feng would not sell them. It would be the Fengli Organization¡¯s ultimate weapon.

    ¡°We only have one prototype so far. Besides, they are not for sale. My apology, Master Beitang,¡± Qin Feng replied honestly.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be. There¡¯s nothing to be sorry about,¡± Beitang said.

    Qin Feng did not want to offend Beitang Gan. When they were discussing their respective roles, Qin Feng had opted to contribute weapons and money, while Beitang Gan did not have a lot of assets so he could only supply manpower. As such, Beitang Gan would be stationed inside the realm most of the time. Qin Feng did not want Beitang Gan to think that he was being secretive, which might prompt thetter to pick on Wang Chenter.

    The rest of the troop came in sessively and they were all amazed by the mecha. As for Wang Chen, though he had no idea how he would fare now against other aptitude users, at least the mecha helped to barricade conscious probesing from the A and B-tiers. That alone was already a huge relief to him.

    Besides, it felt good to stand tall above everyone else.

    The crowd did not stagnate for too long and got rolling quickly. First, they had to construct a fortress that could at least defend against wild beasts.

    Based on previous battles and explorations, Hu San discovered that the frozen peaks around this ind could be used as a natural barrier to resist the energy storm. However, ice frozen by aptitude users or normal ice did not have a simr effect.

    That was why Hu San had requested for so many men. They were needed to excavate the special ice from the peaks to be used as their fortress¡¯s building blocks.

    The nearest peak to their location was about ten kilometers away. Nobody knew how dangerous it would be out there when the storm hit.

    ¡°I will go check out the location first with Qin Feng. You guys should stay here and protect the others,¡± Hu San said.

    ¡°Send those C-tiers back through the rift first. Have theme back in only when we have had the ice brought back here. The energy storm in here would be too strong for them,¡± Qin Feng suggested.

    ¡°That¡¯s true.¡±

    The C-tiers were too feeble in here.

    Wang Chen was in a much better spot aspared to the other C-tiers. He was not affected by the storm being encased inside the durable mecha.

    Hu San and Qin Feng then brought along more than a hundred B-tiers and walked toward the north.

    Along the way, they could hardly see beyond thirty-meter being shrouded by the raging storm. Other than the howling wind, their ears were basically deaf to other sounds too. With their conscious power also blocked, they were not very vignt against potential danger.

    The group advanced cautiously. They did not see any trace of a beast when they reached the first peak. Everyone was relieved.

    They then began to dig the frozen peak. They cut the ice block into the size of one-meter-squares each and packed them into spatial equipment.

    Five minutes after they started digging, the entire floor began to vibrate. The aptitude users who were immersed in theirbor finally sensed the terrifying aura.

    Within the storms, one after another giant ultra beast had approached them unknowingly.

    ¡°Ambush!¡±

    The aptitude users shouted in panic. They clumsily took out their weapons from their spatial equipment and gripped them tightly. They gulped nervously as they waited for the ultra beasts to emerge from the storm.

    They could now sense it crisply, meaning that the beasts were already close enough.

    A-tier beast emperor. There were more than ten of them.

    Roar!

    The A-tier beast emperors seemed to be battling something else.

    The aptitude users waited anxiously but the beasts never showed themselves.

    A momentter, the roars among the storm gradually quieted down. Nheless, they could still hear a series of thuds closing in rapidly. Finally, the silhouette of the ultra beast came into sight. What was more frightening was the cold-blooded, emerald eyes belonging to the ultra beast.

    The aptitude users were spooked and someone reflexively released an ability.

    A wind-type ability was released and hit on the giant ultra beast. It hardly swayed the ultra beast.

    ¡°Don¡¯t attack recklessly.¡± A sound came from the storm and was delivered directly into everyone¡¯s consciousness. The aptitude users were encouraged when they heard the sound.

    They then saw it. A man was riding on the back of the horrifying ultra beast.

    It was Qin Feng.

    Slowly, the ultra beasts that spooked them emerged one by one. There were a total of eight beast emperors. Peculiarly, they were all heavily battered and none of them had living force left.

    ¡°Undead puppets!¡±

    One of the aptitude users finally realized that the horrific ultra beasts had all been turned into dead puppets, while the puppeteer was none other than Qin Feng.

    ¡°Continue with your work. Don¡¯t worry, no beast will disrupt us now,¡± Qin Feng assured them and turned the beast puppet around. The puppets formed a half-circle around the aptitude users facing outward. They would immediately jump into battle the moment they were assaulted.

    The aptitude users looked at each other in bewilderment. They then sped up subconsciously. Though the undead puppets could indeed protect them, Qin Feng¡¯s words were oddlymanding. He sounded like a cruel supervisor watching over their progress and no one dared to ck off.

    However, the chatting never stopped in private.

    ¡°No wonder the Fengli Organization grew so rapidly these few years. This Qin Feng is unbelievably strong.¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t see Master Hu helping him. Did he deal with eight A-tier beast emperors all by himself?¡±

    ¡°Who would know what the hell happened just now?¡±

 Chapter 945 - Besieged by Ultra Beasts

    <h4>Chapter 945: Besieged by Ultra Beasts</h4>

    After digging up a certain amount of ice blocks, they nned to transport a portion back first so that the others could start off building the base.

    ¡°I will go back alone. Master Hu, stay here and protect them.¡± Qin Feng volunteered.

    ¡°Okay.¡± It was a good idea. Hu San would not get lost and he was the only one not afraid of the monsters lurking out there.

    Qin Feng carried almost a hundred pieces of spatial equipment with him and returned using the route where they came from.

    He did not face any trouble on his way back. By possessing both wind and ice-type abilities, the storm on Dragon Ind would not affect Qin Feng one bit.

    Qin Feng moved hastily and reached the base in less than five minutes. He did not approach the camp with his puppet to avoid stirring unnecessary panic. Instead, he parked his puppet about a hundred meters away and got back on foot.

    When he was near the camp, he saw a carcass surrounded by several aptitude users. They were dissecting it.

    ¡°Were we ambushed?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Nangong Zeming answered him, ¡°Just a small wolf. Must be separated from the pack. But even this young wolf is an A-tier ultra beast emperor. Your subordinate did well. He killed it quickly as soon as we spotted it.¡±

    Qin Feng looked toward Wang Chen. He was still riding the mecha and was talking to the others through the built-in speaker.

    Those surrounding him were all A-tiers. They no longer looked down on him. In fact, the A-tiers seemed a little wary when talking to Wang Chen.

    Qin Feng took out the ice block and asked them to beginying out the foundation. He then passed them the adhesive specifically designed by Fengli¡¯s research department.

    They wished to build a temporary main hall, then shield it with four city walls. Since they did not expect to house a lot of visitors, for the time being, they would only build a base the size of an athletic stadium.

    As everyone got busy, Qin Feng immediately dialed Wang Chen¡¯smunicator after the signal transmitter was set up.

    ¡°What did you do?¡±

    ¡°Nothing spectacr. These people are not convinced that I should be selected as one of the persons-in-charge here. So when the ultra beast came over, I fired a st at maximum charge.¡±

    The one-and-only mecha produced by Fengli, though was called A-tier mecha, was actually more destructive than an A-tier aptitude user as long as it was not dismantled by the enemy.

    A st at maximum charge was probably equivalent to an all-out attack by an A9-tier aptitude user. Furthermore, such an attack had a low cool-down time and could easily be reloaded in five minutes. All it required was the crystal core of an A-tier beast king.

    After Wang Chen killed the ultra beast, he got an ultra beast emperor crystal core in return. One king¡¯s core for an emperor¡¯s core was a lucrative exchange.

    ¡°Great job.¡± Qin Feng knew Wang Chen would not disappoint. That was the reason he had brought him along to the Aether Realm.

    Qin Feng then unloaded his spatial equipment and unloaded the ck boxes in it. These ck boxes underwent some erratic transformation and turned into droids.

    These C-tier droids were no good forbat. But after being inputted withmands, they could carry out the assigned tasks tirelessly. Qin Feng passed over the authority of the droids to Wang Chen before he got going again.

    Qin Feng had three thousand such robots in the Blood River Realm. Though he only brought over three hundred pieces this time, his robot army was clearly the more usefulborer than those C-tiers, who could not stay inside the realm for an extended period of time.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I will send the C-tiers back. They are useless here,¡± Nangong Zeming said.

    ¡°Okay. This ce is in your hands now. I will get back to the peak and bring back more materials.¡±

    ¡°Thanks for the hard work.¡±

    Qin Feng left them and returned to the icy mountain.

    After going to and fro the entire day, they had amassed enough materials for the base. The external walls were constructed and it was lined by crystal cannons powerful enough to deter even an A-tier ultra beast.

    Besides that, a force field was set up around the base. Once the force field enclosed the base, they were finally freed from the storm.

    The group finally realized that Fengli was indisputably the front runner in technological development. They had lost count of how many impressive devices Qin Feng brought into the Aether Realm.

    After the construction waspleted, the C-tiers could not wait to return to Earth while the B-tiers wished to stay.

    Though they could not hunt, the energy pulsating in the atmosphere of this realm was too alluring to pass on.

    ¡°You can stay if you want to. Let¡¯s first build more ces to amodate everyone. Earth-type users, you are up.¡± Hu San ordered.

    Wang Chen was definitely staying. Besides, he already had a room for himself.

    In his room, mechanical devices had taken up most of the space. Wang Chen was calibrating the radarm with Qin Feng giving him a hand.

    ¡°While I was in Fengli City, I could see everything within a hundred meters clearly up in the Floating City. The entire North Region seemed to be in my grasp. Now, all my senses are stripped and I ampletely blinded. I have not felt safe since I stepped onto this ind. President, I even heard that there are S-tier ultra beasts in here.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s true. But you will be safe as long as you stay inside the fortress. Even if this ce is breached, just remember to flee as far as you can.¡±

    ¡°Hahaha. Don¡¯t worry. The mecha can run pretty fast.¡±

    Coincidentally, the machine in Wang Chen¡¯s hand beeped loudly. It seemed to havepleted its test run. On the radar,rge and small scarlet dots began to emerge rapidly.

    Wang Chen¡¯s cheerful expression immediately changed. He watched the radar in disbelief.

    ¡°Is the machine spoiled? Why are there so many ultra beasts?¡±

    They were not ordinary ultra beasts. All of them were at least beast king and above.

    ¡°I will go take a look.¡± Qin Feng did not think that the machine was faulty. He believed they were besieged by monsters. But perhaps the monsters had never seen any structure like this before, or they had sensed the power level of creatures within the wall. Either way, they had approached cautiously and decided to surround the fortress first.

    Qin Feng got up to the wall. The aptitude user that was keeping watch was one of the men that followed Qin Feng to the mountain. He knew how strong Qin Feng was and no longer despised him.

    ¡°Why are you up here, Marshall Qin?¡±

    ¡°What¡¯s the condition out there?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    The aptitude user shook his head. ¡°The storm is still obstructing our vision. I don¡¯t think any ultra beast is staying out when the storm is this ferocious.¡±

    Indeed, the visibility was close to nil.

    But amidst the roaring wind, Qin Feng could hear a strange voice. He immediately yelled, ¡°Get ready for enemy assault. Gunslingers, get into your positions. Prepare to fire the crystal cannon anytime!¡±

    Hismand shook the entire camp. The three S-tiers came out from their rooms.

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Someone asked. Qin Feng ignored the question and stepped out of the fortress and into the ravaging storm.

    The further he went, the clearer the unusual sound.

    Qin Feng was certain now. It was wolves¡¯ howls.

    He paced on. A snowy wolf promptly came into sight. The white wolf was at least two-meter-high and four-meter-long. Qin Feng could tell that it was an A-tier beast king.

    The moment he saw the white wolf, another emerged, then another one followed.

    They were all white wolves. Without him knowing, Qin Feng had been surrounded quietly.

    Awoo!

    A creature out of sight urged the pack. In response, more than ten white wolves lurched at Qin Feng simultaneously.

 Chapter 946 - Extremely Dangerous Ultra Beasts

    <h4>Chapter 946: Extremely Dangerous Ultra Beasts</h4>

    While in the blizzard, Qin Feng did not hold back his strength. Nine frozen stars rose up behind him and unleashed a terrible pressure.

    However, the white wolves did not relent, barking before charging at him.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force became like a whirlpool and the white wolf that came into his range of attack was suddenly pulled in by a suction and its body caught in this twisting vortex. During this fight, this mistake equaled giving the enemy an opening for an attack.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber quickly swung out.

    Pfft!

    The while wolf had no way to avoid the attack and was immediately decapitated.

    Soon, under the pressure of the Asteroid Assimtion, none of the ultra beasts could get closer to Qin Feng and he defeated them one by one.

    White snow was stained with red blood, corpses were strewn everywhere.

    He also did not use the dark ability to turn these wolves into corpse puppets.

    Awhooo....

    The white wolves¡¯ howls spread in the wind. The scanner next to Wang Chen showed multiple red dots appearing and they were all headed toward one direction.

    He quickly locked onto Qin Feng¡¯smunicator and found out that these ultra beasts were actually running toward Qin Feng¡¯s position.

    No matter how strong he was, even when he was attacked by this many beast kings and beast emperors, there were two more that did not approach to test his strength. They sat in a distance, and no matter how they looked at it, Qin Feng was a vicious opponent.

    Wang Chen quickly opened up the regional channel. The signal transmitter that Qin Feng made was naturally in his possession and Wang Chen had one as well.

    In the next moment, Wang Chen¡¯s voice was broadcasted through everyone¡¯smunicator.

    ¡°President, ultra beasts are going at you from all sides. Come back quickly!¡± Wang Chen said urgently.

    This sentence, due to it being sent through the local channel, was heard by the others as well.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? An ultra beast siege?¡±

    ¡°I don¡¯t see anything, that blizzard¡¯s too thick. I can¡¯t detect what¡¯s going on!¡±

    ¡°Marshal Qin went out just now!¡±

    ¡°What do we do, do we go save him?¡±

    These aptitude users were obviously hesitant. Dragon Ind also had a day night cycle and right now it was in the middle of the night. Combine that with the blizzard sting at them outside, there was a chance that even if an S-tier went outside, they might note back!

    ¡°Stay on guard and update me on the ultra beasts¡¯ movements!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s words could also be heard via the local channel and people could even hear the roar of the wind, the enraged howls of the ultra beasts, and after his de had in one, their miserable whines.

    Qin Feng began to fight frantically. It did not matter if he was surrounded by a beast king or beast emperor, any one that got close would get in by a single swipe of his de and their blood sshing all over.

    When these beasts died, they continuously provided Qin Feng¡¯s physical body with power as he kept absorbing their energy.

    After reaching A-tier, the amount of energy that Qin Feng¡¯s body needed for advancement was really terrifying.

    His consciousness had jumped up five stages due to the Immortal¡¯s inheritance but after such a long time of umting power within his body, he was finally very close to transformation.

    He continued his ughter.

    There were more and more bodies on the ground, almost piling up into a hill as the scattering energy filled Qin Feng¡¯s body. It was so close, he was missing just a little bit.

    ¡°President, be careful, two frightening ultra beasts are heading your way!¡± Wang Chen¡¯s voice cracked over hismunicator!

    At this time, it was not only Wang Chen but also other aptitude users, whose hearts were in their throats.

    ¡°President, I can¡¯t see their power level on the detector. I think they could be... S-tier!¡±

    Just what was an S-tier level like? After all, the Earth did not have many S-tier ultra beasts appearing. Such a force couldpletely wipe out something like the Amazon Alliance. As a result, for what kind of power these ultra beasts had, the only way for their detectors to list them would be ¡®extremely dangerous¡¯.

    ¡°Where is iting from?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s words carried out, but very quickly he added, ¡°Nevermind!¡±

    He already saw them.

    It was two white wolves covered in ayer of icy blue fur. Their bodies were stronger and more powerful than that of a normal white wolf.

    One of them had a sleek body and strangely beautiful feeling to it.

    ¡°It¡¯s not you that killed my child. Out of my way, or I¡¯ll tear you apart!¡±

    When the consciousness swept forward, the she-wolf bore her sharp fangs.

    The first thing Qin Feng thought of was that young wolf that appeared in the blizzard earlier.

    It was just that Wang Chen had already killed it!

    ¡°I, too, will tear you apart. This is a world where the strong would eat the weak!¡± He would not sympathize with a mother that had lost her cub. It was because even their young were considered to be stronger than humans. Sympathy in this notion was for the weak.

    The strong did not need sympathy.

    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll just kill you!¡±

    The she-wolf spread a wave of rage with her consciousness, quickly opening herrge maw and sting out a terrifying Ice Dragon.

    This was an ultra beast awakened with an ability crystal core.

    However, Qin Feng quickly realized that this was not an awakening. This beast had gone through that inheritance before.

    Not only that, the male wolf also unleashed an Ice Dragon from his mouth.

    Two Ice Dragons spiraled out, blocking off the space around Qin Feng.

    He naturally was not nning on sitting there.

    ¡°Ice Dragon!¡±

    Another Ice Dragon whizzed out and crashed into the two other ones, as if grasping for new opportunities in a forlorn situation.

    The two S-tier white wolves stared forward with contempt, feeling that they were at their wit¡¯s end against him.

    In the next moment, Qin Feng unleashed his consciousness again.

    ¡°Ice st!¡±

    Boom!

    The massive Ice Dragon became a terrifying explosion. The shockwave mmed into the two Ice Dragons the wolves unleashed.

    This caused a chain reaction to follow. The fragments of the Ice Dragon disrupted the runes and caused them to also activate Ice st.

    Icy shrapnel scattered all over and the white wolves that did not engage were showered by the sharp pieces of ice, causing serious damage. Their blood flowed out but was quickly frozen.

    At this moment, three auras could be felt from a distance. It was Hu San and the others.

    They found out that Qin Feng was in danger, so they naturally could not ignore it. When they came out though, the two white wolves reacted violently.

    With bared fangs, consciousness was spread out.

    ¡°It¡¯s you!¡±

    In the blizzard, Nangong Zeming appeared. When that young wolf appeared the first one to intercept it was him, so he was tainted by a smell that these two S-tier ultra beasts recognized.

    These two beasts were about to pounce on Nangong Zeming.

    When Qin Feng saw that others were approaching, he pulled away his nine frozen stars but when he saw what the white wolves were doing he also tried to intercept them.

    His consciousness surged wildly.

    ¡°Cold Whisper of Death!¡±

    An extremely bright icy blue fell onto the she-wolf¡¯s body.

    Not only that, he raised a hand and a bolt of pure darkness with the terrifying aura of death streaked out and hit the male wolf¡¯s body!

    ¡°Finger of Death!¡±

    S-tier ability, double release!

 Chapter 947 - Bai Li Wakes Up

    <h4>Chapter 947: Bai Li Wakes Up</h4>

    Two S-tier ultra beasts were stopped in their tracks by these abilities.

    S-tier abilities could directly damage the ultra beast¡¯s body.

    However, even with an S-tier ability it would not necessarily mean the beast would get killed by it. An ultra beast¡¯s body was often far stronger than that of the average human¡¯s. If an ability like that hit a human, they would undoubtedly die.

    Qin Feng was not thinking about killing both in one go, when the two bursts of power stopped the wolves, his speed surged.

    ¡°Rampage Influx!¡±

    In an instant, his form became like the blizzard around him as he disappearedpletely with how fast he was going.

    Already he arrived in front of the she-wolf, the Verdant Emperor Saber infused with internal force as he shed down toward her.

    The she-wolf was frozen by the Cold Whisper of Death, and having no defenses at all due to her entire body being too stiff to move, she could not escape Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    Pfft!

    The S-tier she-wolf was decapitated in an instant.

    Awoo!

    The weakened male wolf wailed but before he could move, Qin Feng was already upon him.

    The male wolf still had the ability to fight back but its overall strength had declined and was unable to withstand Qin Feng¡¯s attacks at all.

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s de glowed with spirits that surrounded the wolf¡¯s body. In this close range, they started to tear into his opponent¡¯s soul and the already weakened wolf struggled in vain before beingpletely consumed by the spirits, all lifesigns ceasing.

    Two S-tier ultra beasts were in in the matter of moments.

    The energy spread into the surroundings and Qin Feng¡¯s ability allowed him to absorb the fleeing lifeforce and integrate them into his body, causing his cells to rank up.

    A2 tier!

    Qin Feng¡¯s physical power had increased again.

    The dark ability could not conceal Qin Feng¡¯s physical power, so from the outside his power was still detected to be A2.

    Therefore, Hu San, Beitang Gan and Nangong Zeming were all present to witness an A2 person with their own eyes take down two S-tier ultra beasts in one go.

    This was somethingpletely unprecedented.

    ¡°You can all go back, everything¡¯s fine!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Haha, with you here we don¡¯t need to worry. Just came to see if you needed any help!¡± Nangong Zeming said, but he had other things on his mind, ¡®When I go back I need to hold back some of my people. Better not aggravate Qin Feng, nor his people. If he were toe over to cut them down, it¡¯ll just take a single strike! Nobody can stop that!¡¯

    Nangong Zeming knew that he would not be able to stop him.

    At the same time Hu San and Beitang Gan had the same idea.

    With the two wolves dead, all the other white wolves scattered. Qin Feng put his spoils away and began to head back toward the fortress.

    In this fight, although the fortress did not get attacked, they had also learned that the terror here was far beyond their imagination.

    Therefore, all the A-tiers became more alert. The B-tiers, despite them practicing, did not have any defensive capabilities. If there was another battle and it reached inside the fortress all they could do was start running away.

    Being the only C-tier present, Wang Chen was at ease. Although the energy storm outside was powerful, it contained spiritual energy that even raised his consciousness. He focused entirely on cultivating himself so that he could put forth the best of his abilities on the field.

    ***

    After two months, Wang Chen finally achieved B-tier. His consciousness skyrocketed, allowing him to control multiplebat machines. On Dragon Ind, there was not a single being he could not crush at will.

    During the past months, Qin Feng had been out hunting.

    It was just that Dragon Ind did not have those immense kinds of beast waves, so Qin Feng¡¯s prey was limited. It was difficult to find ultra beasts in the blizzard since 80% of the ultra beasts had already been in by him.

    Over the days and months, he had umted so much physical power that he was almost at A3 tier. He was just one step away and by that time, Bai Li was about to finish her cultivation.

    Moreover, Dark Citadel was hosting its auction very soon. Qin Feng intended to go back to the citadel, the only person that knew of He Tianxing¡¯s death was Voodoo Lord but nobody knew if Voodoo Lord would decide to cause trouble during the auction or not regardless.

    Now that Dark Citadel was Qin Feng¡¯s property and it had collected plenty of valuable things, how could he just give that up!

    What was more, there was also one more thing that came to his mind.

    That would be the super beast wave that the Amazon Alliance suffered. On June 220 of the Great Rift Age, even before the Dark Citadel auction, the Amazon Alliance suffered a massive beast wave. Since they were neighbours with Huaxia, the wave also affected Huaxia¡¯s territories as well.

    ording to the statistics, more than three hundred colonies were destroyed along with five major cities. The death toll could not be estimated.

    Qin Feng was not the world¡¯s savior. He did not n on going there to save people, but because there were going to be many ultra beasts and that was exactly what he needed.

    Kill ultra beasts, get stronger.

    That was his way of getting more powerful.

    Therefore, after being on Dragon Ind for two months, when Qin Feng proposed to leave for the first time, even Beitang Gan was surprised.

    Moreover, he had grown to like Qin Feng. When he heard that Qin Feng was going to leave he started feeling listless. However, he quickly put these thoughts behind him as he was an S-tier aptitude user. It was not right that he had to rely on the strength of an A-tier, that would mean that even his mentality as a powerhouse had been defeated! That would not do!

    ¡°If you have things to do, then go. You¡¯ve got argepany and all and there¡¯s probably many things to do,¡± Beitang Gang said.

    ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll leave this ce to you. I hope you can take care of Wang Chen for me, Master Beitang.¡±

    ¡°Yes, I will.¡±

    Beitang Gan responded and regarded Wang Chen as a key person to be protected. After all, if Wang Chen actually died, he would not know how to exin it to Qin Feng.

    Sometimes, the influence of a powerful person would unknowingly seep into the hearts of every person. If it were any normal A-tier asking Beitang Gan to defend someone, his first reaction would be thinking that they were trying to crack a joke.

    That being said, Qin Feng was already strong enough for an S-tier to give face to.

    He left Dragon Ind and returned to Fengli City.

    Just as he returned to his vi in Fengli City, the secret realm key in his hand began to glow with silver light. A spatial tunnel was formed and Bai Li stepped out.

    After three months, Qin Feng had missed the little fox very much.

    Of course,pared to him missing her, Bai Li had not seen him for a long time. When she was sleeping, she was unaware of the passage of time. To her she had only been asleep for a long time and aftering to, her power had increased drastically.

    ¡°Did you miss me?¡± Bai Li saw Qin Feng and immediately rushed over, draping herself over his neck and nuzzling her small head against him.

    ¡°Of course, I did!¡±

    ¡°Hmph, you wouldn¡¯t dare not to!¡± Bai Li tossed her head before returning to her usual position, brows furrowing. ¡°Then, how did your strength increase by two levels? That¡¯s not right, it¡¯s only been three months. Did you secretly go to Dragon Ind without me?!¡±

 Chapter 948 - The Dark Immortalâ€™s Starglobe

    <h4>Chapter 948: The Dark Immortal¡¯s Starglobe</h4>

    Qin Feng could not help but smile. Of course, he did not want to hide things from Bai Li. He told her everything about what happened to him during the course of his time there.

    Originally, he thought that Bai Li would definitely get angry if he decided to act out on his own without permission but she did not care about these things.

    ¡°I knew you were gonna do this! Forget it, all that matters is that you¡¯re safe. We have a contract, so whatever you¡¯re doing I¡¯m able to sense it. This time, if you get into something dangerous, I¡¯ll definitely show up and beat the crap out of you!¡±

    ¡°In order to not have you beat me up, I¡¯ll also keep myself out of trouble!¡± Qin Feng said, his eyes softened. ¡°Thank you for your apaniment, Bai Li!¡±

    Qin Feng started out as an orphan, but ever since his rebirth he gained a better life, obtained a stronger level and saved his best friend¡¯s life. For him though, what really changed was the one who made a contract with him, Bai Li.

    This was his family. His partner!

    When Bai Li heard Qin Feng¡¯s words, she seemed to sense what he was also thinking in his heart. Leaning over, she gave him a kiss on the cheek.

    The two embraced, filling up the loneliness that they had been feeling for all this time.

    While talking, Bai Li suddenly thought of something. ¡°About the energy core of the Immortal turning into a starglobe, could it be the same with the starglobe that the Skeletal Fiend was talking about?¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I was waiting for you to return so I can properly ask the Skeletal Fiend. Last time I asked, it was pretty beat up, so it didn¡¯t manage to say a lot. That or it¡¯s actually hiding a lot of things from us!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Alright, this bastard actually thinks he can lie to us!¡±

    Bai Li stretched out her hand and in her palm, a ten centimeter by ten centimeter cube cage appeared and inside it was the Skeletal Fiend.

    The Skeletal Fiend did not shrink of course, it was just Bai Li manipting thepression of space.

    The Skeletal Fiend was like a frog under the well, if he had just looked he would see a massive Bai Li looking at him.

    However, when he saw that the surroundings had changed he was overjoyed, thinking that the spatial beast had died and caused the space to copse and he was finally able to escape.

    ¡°Hahaha, what a bunch of idiots, thinking that this can hold me down. Greed is the original sin, if only you didn¡¯t go to that starglobe then you definitely wouldn¡¯t have died, but who could resist such a temptation!¡±

    The Skeletal Fiend cackled out loud.

    Very quickly, consciousness sted over like a rumbling earthquake and sent him bouncing around all over before he was sprawled out on the ground.

    ¡°Sure enough, you didn¡¯t tell the truthst time!¡± Qin Feng said coldly.

    The Skeletal Fiend¡¯sughter immediately halted and when it looked at its surroundings, its eye sockets seemingly widened.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li wereparatively far too big, when he was not looking into the distance he did not notice the two people.

    From where he was, he thought that the space barrier had been dissolved, but it was not. It turned into a silver cage. He was still in the other¡¯s palm and all they needed to do was squeeze to kill him.

    Right now, the current Bai Li made him feel dread, so did Qin Feng.

    Click!

    The Skeletal Fiend¡¯s teeth shed as he mmed his mouth shut. If he was not a dead body, he would have been swallowing hard by now with cold sweat dripping down his back.

    Even though this was not actually happening, he was still visibly trembling. A sign of fear.

    ¡°Eight hundred year old creatures indeed have wisdom that we can¡¯t imagine. Now, can you tell us about the Immortal¡¯s starglobe!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°You know about it?¡± The Skeletal Fiend secretly knew that this was not going to go well.

    The Skeletal Fiend had lived for a long time, even maintaining a somewhat humanoid form. In fact, he too was a human back then.

    However, the human race was one with strong ambition. When the Skeletal Fiend was a human, there was no way he could be an S-tier. As such, he relied on extreme methods to transform himself into an undead form, thus achieving S-tier.

    As such, he sessfully became a member of the Dark Coalition and knew a lot of things that S-tiers did not know.

    Therefore, when the Skeletal Fiend saw Qin Feng and Bai Li, although they had great strength, they did not seem to be members of the Human Alliance so he tried to trick them as a form of revenge to get them both killed.

    The waymark of the that the Skeletal Fiend mentioned was the crystal core of a dark ability Immortal. It had not been dead for very long, only for a hundred years. Many in the Dark Coalition knew about this.

    However, in reality it was too dangerous.

    As an object of darkness, any lifeform that set foot on that starglobe would get consumed.

    The Skeletal Fiend did not dare approach it but in the void, he used a special method to blow up a region to retrieve a Hellstone from it.

    Since the explosive force he used was too powerful, a spatial rift appeared and the Hellstone crashed into Qin Feng¡¯s realm.

    Previously, when he told Qin Feng about the waymark, he was hoping that Qin Feng and Bai Li would have gone to such a ce. Even if they saw how dangerous it was and did not set foot on the starglobe, there were many Dark Coalition S-tiers that lingered around that ce.

    Whichever way, it was death.

    What was unexpected was that Qin Feng did not go.

    ¡°Fiend, you better be honest about what you know. Too many uses of soul absorption and that little speck you call a soul will burn up into ashes!¡± Bai Li threatened.

    ¡°What do you want me to say? I have told you everything I know!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled coldly, ¡°Of course, tell me if this Immortal has an inheritance or not, or that there is no inheritance at all and it is only just a ce of death?¡±

    The Aether Realm that Qin Feng was at before made it clear that the Immortal was indeed a snowdy. Snowdies did not have many desires, but after having her homnd destroyed by a strong being with dark abilities, her heart was stained with hatred.

    Hate did not blind her eyes or soul, she was still kind-hearted. So after she died, she left her inheritance in hopes that someone would obtain it and inherit her will to fight against Sky Demons.

    Therefore, this so-called Immortal that the Skeletal Fiend was talking about, what kind of creature it had been, what its identity was and what it did after bing the Immortal could be inferred. It was unclear if this was a kind of being to have left behind an inheritance or was it a being that did not want to be defiled by others even after death.

    The Skeletal Fiend¡¯s expression dropped as he looked at Bai Li.

    Due to her massive size, the Skeletal Fiend was unable to avoid her silver gaze. When he thought about mustering up soul absorption, he shuddered and decided to speak the truth.

    ¡°The Immortal was part of the Abyss Dragon species. After it died, it transformed into a massivendmass. The Immortal¡¯s crystal core is located on its head and it emits a powerful aura of death. Any living creature that approaches it would die!¡±

    ¡°So, I won¡¯t lie to you when I say this. Only I can retrieve the Dark Sacred Stone. I will get it for you and you will let me go. This is a fair deal!¡±

 Chapter 949 - Comparable to the Disaster that Happened 200 Years Ago

    <h4>Chapter 949: Comparable to the Disaster that Happened 200 Years Ago</h4>

    ¡°That¡¯s where you¡¯re wrong I¡¯m afraid. Maybe the previous version of you could still go and get it, but now...¡± Qin Feng did not finish his sentence but his meaning was clear enough. If he let the Skeletal Fiend go now with his current strength, he would not reach the Hellstone. He would not even be able to step on thatndmass!

    Besides, he had asked what he wanted to ask. The dark starglobe of the Immortal was not a ce that Qin Feng nned to go to, at least not with his current strength.

    ¡°Put it away!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li pped her hands together and the Skeletal Fiend was put away.

    ¡°We can check it out next time. I¡¯m afraid that this Immortal¡¯s inheritance is more dangerous than the snowdy one you¡¯ve been in. Not only that, Abyss Dragons are notoriously cruel beings, I doubt it would like anyone leering at its corpse.¡±

    ¡°Hmm, wait until my physical form reaches S-tier then we¡¯ll go! With how dangerous that ce is, nobody would get it!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Moreover, among the races within the countless realms, the human race had the strongest learning capabilities and the strongestprehension capability. That was why they liked to explore ruins of various powerful creatures. In that case, Qin Feng¡¯spetitors were humans.

    In that case, he was even less worried.

    He had fought on endlessly for three months, when he returned to Fengli he finally considered rxing. He had to handle a lot of umted work, attend many events he had to show up at, and carried out a series of announcements. He hoped that Fengli would grow more, and take in more talented B-tier aptitude users.

    Of course, Qin Feng was also waiting for a new piece of news.

    ***

    Great Rift Age, Year 220 June 3rd. A huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky and almost tore apart Earth¡¯s atmosphere.

    Qin Feng was doing an inspection on the surrounding colonies near Fengli City, but he sensed this almost instantly.

    Bai Li looked toward the West at the same time.

    The spatial fluctuations were shocking, as if something ominous and terrifying was about to happen.

    Qin Feng¡¯s pupils abruptly shrank.

    The spatial rifts.

    It was here!

    Bai Li¡¯s fox eyes were also widened, ¡°Spatial beast!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Qin Feng looked at her with surprise.

    Although he knew this was going to happen, back in his previous life in Year 220 he was just a D-tier aptitude user. He was sent to deal with a series of beast waves that the spatial rifts caused. As he was dealing with things around a small colony, whatever caused such an event was something unknown to him.

    Now, Bai Li said that it was a spatial beast!

    ¡°Is it the same species as you?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°No, spatial beast is just a general term, like how you people say feline ultra beasts. There¡¯s a difference between a tiger and a cat!¡± Bai Li said, ¡°It hasn¡¯t appeared yet, so I don¡¯t know how strong it is!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and see!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Alright!¡± Bai Li agreed in an instant.

    After reaching S-tier, Bai Li¡¯s consciousness had extended in range and had be stronger than Qin Feng¡¯s. She was truly an S-tier beast deity. Previously, Eye Devil could attack Qin Feng from anywhere, so Bai Li¡¯s consciousness could naturally generate spatial waymarks in a distance.

    Then, a spatial passage appeared. Bai Li and Qin Feng stepped through.

    In the next moment, they appeared at the border of the Huaxia Alliance.

    Looking up, that huge rift looked as if it had torn the sky open. Compared to what they could see at Fengli, this one was a breathtakingly terrifying sight.

    There was a small colony not far away and there were panicked screams and ring sirens. Even Qin Feng¡¯smunicator was buzzing because of the publicwork sending out urgent mission calls.

    However, with Qin Feng¡¯s current position, such tasks could naturally be directly rejected.

    Beep beep!

    Qin Feng¡¯smunicator rang and this time it was not from a public channel.

    It was from Long Ting.

    He quickly epted the call and when the virtual screen popped up, Long Ting¡¯s face appeared on the upper right corner, and appearing on other spots were the faces of S-tier aptitude users.

    Long Ting had started up a group call.

    ¡°Everyone, you should all be aware of the current situation. With the emergence of the massive rift this time, based on the records, this isparable to the catastrophe that happened 200 years ago. I¡¯m not sure what will happen next but be ready for anything!¡±

    The catastrophe two hundred years ago was the beginning of the Great Rift Age. It reduced Earth¡¯s human poption to less than 1%.

    Of course, during that time humanity had no way of fighting back. It was different this time.

    ¡°Now, all of you head for Huaxia¡¯s border. Those who can approach, ept the task and prepare for battle at any moment!¡±

    After saying that Qin Feng¡¯smunicator showed a disy of the border zone of Huaxia¡¯s territory.

    Long Ting marked more than a dozen locations in one go. The closest one to Qin Feng was more than thirty kilometers away. The main reason for that was because there was arge city there that needed manpower to defend and even organize an evacuation.

    Qin Feng pressed ept.

    On themunicator, everyone began to talk.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be over right away!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll be handling things here!¡±

    ¡°This crisis really is unprecedented. I¡¯ll call a few friends over, first we must defend Huaxia!¡±

    ¡°The rift seems to be over at the Amazon Alliance, their only S-tier seems to be Eye Devil!¡±

    ¡°Eye Devil might not guard the Amazon Alliance and decide to give up immediately. Those in the Amazon Alliance would be doomed!¡±

    However, these S-tiers could not care too much. They had Huaxia¡¯s own people to defend.

    The S-tiers of Huaxia all began to move out. There was one that epted the same task as Qin Feng, it was an S-tier aptitude user known as Fang Zhou.

    Qin Feng had never heard of Fang Zhou before, so he did not know who this person was and did not meet up with them. Bai Li moved forward and arrived at therge city on the border of Huaxia, Qingfong City.

    Qingfong City was situated on top of a majestic mountain. This made it easy to defend and difficult to besiege, making it a good ce for a city. The surrounding small colonies were built on the nearby hills thatplimented each other in times of crisis which they often faced deep within the mountains. Even though there was constant clean up, the surrounding beasts were generally powerful.

    As such, Wu Qingfong, the city duke and a B-tier aptitude user, had many C-tier aptitude users under him. In such a situation, he was still calm for the time being.

    When Qin Feng arrived, he directly burst through the spatial stabilization device with a spatial rift and frightened the rest. However, the city duke was quick to arrive to greet him, and when he saw Qin Feng¡¯s badge he immediately recognized him.

    ¡°Marshal Qin, thank you foring to help!¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re wee, it was Lady Long Ting¡¯s idea!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be blunt with you, Marshal Qin. Wait here for the moment. When the rift suddenly appeared the energy here fluctuated greatly. The ultra beasts are stirring and I need to gather my defenses.¡±

    Wu Qingfong¡¯s calm nature did not mean that he was not in a hurry.

 Chapter 950 - oid Locusts

    <h4>Chapter 950: Void Locusts</h4>

    Qin Feng responded after thinking for a moment, ¡°You¡¯d better make an announcement to get the people from the smaller colonies to gather here. Otherwise, when a beast wave really breaks out, I¡¯m afraid that those colonies would get overwhelmed, there wouldn¡¯t even be bodies left to collect!¡±

    Wu Qingfong looked at Qin Feng¡¯s serious expression and his heart sank a little.

    ¡°Would something like that really happen?¡±

    Complete evacuation was not something that was just said and done, it would cause a lot of changes!

    Post-disaster reconstruction required a lot of funds, and more people might starve as a result of their inability.

    ¡°It¡¯s better than seeing everyone get wiped out!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Understood!¡± Wu Qingfong went and issued themand. After half an hour, the S-tier called Fang Zhou arrived.

    This was someone who looked even older than Hu San.

    Since both of them epted the task that Long Ting personally issued and with both being part of the top tiers, Qin Feng shook hands with the other as they rested for a moment in Qingfong City

    ¡°This catastrophe looks much bigger than the one 200 years ago!¡± Fang Zhou said with a sigh, leaning against his seat and looking more like an old man with one foot in the grave. ¡°If it weren¡¯t for a change like this, I wouldn¡¯t havee out to take a look. Who would have thought that Huaxia would still have outstanding youngsters like you in it.¡±

    ¡°Master Fang, you are too kind!¡±

    ¡°Hehe, no need to be humble. I¡¯ve heard about you before, with you here, maybe I wouldn¡¯t even need to do anything. Could live a few more years!¡±

    ¡°If Master Fang requires it, I have some blood concentrated crystals for sale that I¡¯ve obtained from the Blood River Realm. Those might help you!¡±

    ¡°Haha, no need no need. Your kind intentions are noted!¡±

    The two had a pleasant chat. Qin Feng did not expect Fang Zhou to also know a bit about himself. He should have known to ask Hu San about Fang Zhou¡¯s background at the very least.

    Since the two were together, he might as well start asking now.

    At this moment, Bai Li sensed something and looked toward the horizon.

    ¡°It¡¯s here!¡± Bai Li manipted space runes and could sense what was happening on the other side of the spatial rift. The moment the creature moved, she felt it.

    As Bai Li called out, a huge ck w emerged from the ck crack in the sky.

    It looked like the leg of an insect.

    What quickly followed was a huge body more than ten meters long emerging, and it looked like an erged version of a locust.

    However, this locust radiated terror. It was covered in a silver glow and its exoskeleton looked extremely tough, as if it was made of diamonds. Each of this bug¡¯s foot was tipped with sharp barbs like razor-sharp des. The pair of crystal clear wings on its back were very shiny and seemed to be able to cut through space.

    As this silver locust dropped down, more and more locusts appeared around it in a dense swarm as they started flooding the sky.

    Their wings let out a droning buzz as they descended from the sky, seemingly flooding everywhere.

    ¡°Looks like this is going to be tough to deal with.¡± Fang Zhou sighed and said slowly.

    Qin Feng naturally understood the danger, otherwise it would not have reached so many cities. These ultra beasts were simply overwhelming!

    ¡°Void Locusts!¡± Bai Li¡¯s expression became solemn.

    ¡°What kind of beasts are they? Do they have any weaknesses?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Bai Li said, ¡°Throughout the countless realms, the Void Locusts have gained a notoriety. These ultra beasts would try to consume the energy core of the realm!¡± She stopped for a moment before adding, ¡°However, for us there might be one good thing because these Void Locusts don¡¯t like fire!¡±

    A blessing amongst misfortune, that was because the Earth Realm¡¯s energy crystal core was known to have a fiery attribute.

    After many years of development, the outeryer was formed from a merging of multiple different runes, thus creating a new world so that humanity could survive on it.

    ¡°One more thing about the Void Locusts, which is pretty scary!¡± Bai Li looked at the Void Locusts in the sky, her eyes shifting through their numbers which have grown to a countless amount.

    ¡°The realm that they enter would constantly have more openings to the void, eventually there will be a lot of ultra beasts showing up. That¡¯s how they hunt, only when they encounter a dangerous creature would they stop, but with these numbers ....¡±

    Qin Feng understood what she meant. From the looks of things there were at least tens of thousands of Void Locusts and each locust was around C-tier or more. The ones that were fifty meters long were about B-tier, those over one hundred meters were A-tier and there had to be about hundreds of those.

    At this moment, arger creature crawled out of the massive rift. It looked like it was more than three hundred meters in length. As soon as it appeared, its aura would spread out. This would be felt all over the world.

    It was an S-tier Void Locust Emperor.

    Ultra beasts that could manipte space runes were terrifying, Bai Li was a great example of that. Such an ultra beast couldpletely turn a realm on its head.

    At this moment, the locusts descended from the sky. Where theynded was indiscernible as it was too far for the naked eye to see.

    S-tier aptitude users could use their consciousness to perceive things, but the A-tier aptitude users could only use satellite imaging to see what was happening in the Amazon Alliance.

    Satellites all over the world have locked in on the direction of the Amazon Alliance. They saw locusts dropping down from the sky, somended in the wilderness and somended in the cities. As they fanned their wings, they tore open spatial rifts one after another.

    Ultra beasts started showing up one after the other and an intelligent one crawled out of a twenty meter tall rift.

    A Molten Giant.

    ¡°Who dares move my pce?!¡±

    The Molten Giant roared.

    After seeing what came out from the rift, the Void Locusts immediately went on the retreat and left behind only panicking humans.

    The Molten Giant could not find the enemy and stomped on the ground without hesitation. The entire colony came crumbling down as ordinary people wailed and were unable to defend themselves. The aptitude users started to flee as they were too weak to deal with an A-tier Molten Giant.

    These kinds of scenes were happening all over the Amazon Alliance, most of its territories were being overrun and were falling.

    This was when the members of the Amazon Alliance started calling out to the rest of the world for help.

    Qin Feng dialled Long Ting¡¯smunicator. He knew that Long Ting was very busy right now so he decided to send a text message.

    ¡°Madam Long Ting, I want to go to the Amazon Alliance to provide support. The Void Locusts must be killed before they reach Huaxia¡¯s border!¡±

    While his words were valiant, in actuality, he knew that the chance for him to rank up had arrived.

    With so many ultra beasts, it would be easy to reach the A3 tier!

    Soon, Long Ting sent back a reply.

    ¡°I approve!¡±

    What Qin Feng wanted was exactly those two words.

 Chapter 951 - Gathering of Powerhouses

    <h4>Chapter 951: Gathering of Powerhouses</h4>

    ¡°Master Fang, I will head toward the Amazon Alliance, and I¡¯ll leave this for you to handle!¡±

    ¡°Go for it, youngsters are always looking for challenges!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, challenges are necessary to secure the future in our hands!¡±

    Qin Feng did not care about the others. But he did not wish to be only associated with another powerful figure, risking losses of civilians from territories controlled by the Fengli Organization, and being enved.

    It was something that Qin Feng would definitely not tolerate!

    Therefore, the only way to avoid being ughtered by the others was to triumph as the powerful one!

    He would rather be the one who decided who to be sacrificed!

    Bai Li established a spatial passage amidst the ongoing attack from the Void Locusts toward the Amazon Alliance. The spatial stabilizing device already seemed dysfunctional, and the entire alliance was begining to disintegrate.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    Qin Feng stepped into the spatial passage.

    Qin Feng passed through pressurized spatial forces and stepped into a surrounding that was filled with cluttering and chaotic presence.

    It was in the middle of the wilderness and not a city area. But it was crowded with a lot of ultra beasts.

    It was because Bai Li had transported them to the spot right under the spatial rift.

    Now, an unidentified amount of Void Locusts was still descending from the sky.

    Krik krik krik!

    An A-tier Void Locust descended and instantly expanded its mouthparts while aiming to prey on Qin Feng who seemed small and weak.

    Before Qin Feng could react, Bai Li who was standing beside had already released spatial rays from her crystal orb on hand. The Void Locust was instantly sliced into pieces!

    Despite being rune ultra beasts, the Void Locusts were obviously equipped with stronger body features. Powerful and rapid flow of life energy surged after its death and was then devoured by Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability.

    It was not surprising for an ultra beast who roamed within spaces to have strong body features.

    However, Bai Li¡¯s act had obviously enraged the pack of beasts.

    Furthermore, to the Void Locusts, they were just two weak and small-sized humans.

    The ultra beasts swarmed toward them with their sharpened wings, slicing across the void and gliding past Qin Feng¡¯s surroundings.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s internal strength shield was insanely thick, and it was impossible for them to slice through it.

    ¡°Bai Li, let me show you a newly acquired ability!¡± Qin Feng told Bai Li as he began to activate his consciousness.

    Ice element skills would definitelye in handy when tackling such beast waves.

    ¡°Frozen Age!¡±

    All of a sudden, icy blue rays exploded from Qin Feng¡¯s body. Millions of runes overflowed and formed into a horrifying ice freeze.

    The ground was frozen, and all attacking and roaring ultra beasts were turned into ice sculptures.

    Exposed spatial rifts that were tied to ice element runes were also surprisingly affected and frozen. One could easily tell how cold the temperature was.

    The wide piece ofnd instantly turned pale-white. Ability users from around the world who were observing from the satellite were jaw-dropped and their eyes were wide opened.

    ¡°What was that?¡±

    ¡°That ice ability is so horrifying!¡±

    ¡°S-tier ability, that was definitely an S-tier ability, who was that? Which powerful figure was that?¡±

    The coverage expanded for ten kilometres with ten thousand meters in radius, and it was definitely an extensive coverage. Tens of thousands of creatures were trapped within the area that had turned pale-white.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was still feeling the energy in the air that surged from those dead ultra beasts. The Absorption Ability went wild in rotating motion and was almost formed into a vortex.

    Dead bodies of weaker frozen ultra beasts began to slowly fade away, like they were ice sculptures that had melted away.

    But it was still not enough.

    Although those weak ultra beasts were dead, their energy sources were too weak!

    Qin Feng raised up his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Without using Wanzhong¡¯s Spirit Chain Rend, Qin Feng injected with his internal energy and still managed to draw the de toward an area of a thousand meters away.

    All of a sudden, trees tumbled and a protruding stone on the mountain was sliced in half. Despite the strong will of life and constant resistance from those frozen ultra beasts, they were also halved.

    The energy absorption of Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability instantly spiked.

    His physical capability achieved another breakthrough and aplished transformation.

    A3-tier!

    Qin Feng followed up with several swipes with his saber andpletely annihted every enemy in the area.

    ¡°Retrieve!¡±

    Qin Feng retrieved his consciousness and ended the Frozen Age. But the remnants of snow still remained on the ground for a long time before spreading. Trees and rocks on the mountain still remained in the same state as it was during winter, and only those ultra beast materials were packed and brought away.

    Bai Li took the lead before Qin Feng. In just a short moment, they were already heading toward a different direction.

    Only the satellite surveince was left to urately record transformation on the ground. The Amazon Alliance seemed to have found their ultimate savior that could change their fate. The recordings were saved and then channelled tomunicators of humans within the Amazon Alliance.

    ¡°Fellowpatriots, hold on, an S-tier ability user is already here!¡±

    The recording was spread across widely and was even posted onto the battle.

    Now, not only those prominent figures who had control over the satellite surveince could view it. More aptitude users were also able to view the recording.

    ¡°No wonder people would only recognize S-tier as a powerful figure. With such explosive capabilities, it would be as easy as pie to annihte an entire city!¡±

    ¡°Who is this? Among those known S-tiers, who would have such an S-tier ability?¡±

    ¡°I know that Huaxia has a snow region watcher, judging by the distance, this should be him!¡±

    ¡°So powerful!¡±

    As S-tiers were notmonly known by aptitude users, any inferences would be easily believed by everyone.

    Ice element initially originated from a unique ssification, and its presence was very rare. As there were only a few that made it to S-tier, all of them assumed that it was perhaps Hu San.

    Despite the misunderstanding, it was still heart-warming for Qin Feng to be the first to provide aid to the dire situation. Although it happened in the Amazon Alliance, many S-tier aptitude users that were avable had already begun toe forward to help.

    At the eastern south side borders, a majestic and grandeur ancient warrior had appeared. An enormous pressure was mounted from the great cleaving axe on hand. The oppressive energy had broken the entire mountain into half and caused massive casualties toward the ultra beasts around.

    It was the S-tier ancient warrior from the Australian Alliance¡ªWest Lord.

    At the eastern side borders, a wave had climbed up to the hill and drowned out thend. Followed by sshes from each footstep, a woman with wavy ocean blue coloured hair stepped into the Amazon Alliance¡¯s territory while wearing a long robe.

    It was the S-tier water ability user from the West American Alliance¡ªGoddess of Ocean Vienna.

    At the western north side borders of the Amazon Alliance, another lightning ring had appeared.

    It was the S-tier lightning ability user from the Philippines Alliance¡ªLord of Lightning On.

    The powerhouses had appeared. Within a short moment, the exploding beast wave had already been annihted.

    Beast waves that took ce along the borders were not triggered by the Void Locust. It was the trembling spaces that had frightened those ultra beasts and slowly formed into a running beast wave that had the same destructive force. If those S-tiers were to ignore the situation, perhaps it might result in the destruction of countless numbers of colonies.

    However, now that Qin Feng had taken the lead, the oue would be different from before his rebirth.

    Now, all of those powerhouses were about to arrive.

 Chapter 952

    <h4>Chapter 952: Danger of Greenlit City</h4>

    Qin Feng was unaware that his leading action had caught the interest of others topete for their share.

    As the Void Locusts slit opened more and more rifts, the number of ultra beasts that came out also became higher. For Qin Feng, it was an ideal situation to his benefit.

    Therefore, Qin Feng simply ignored those Void Locusts. He only aimed for those ultra beast groups that were let out from spatial rifts triggered by those Void Locusts. He had even purposely let those Void Locusts go, so that they could attract more ultra beasts.

    As for the dire situation of the Amazon Alliance, it was out of Qin Feng¡¯s concern.

    Hence, the connivance of a powerful figure like Qin Feng had allowed the guing Void Locust scene to continue. The growing number of ultra beasts then eventually formed into terrifying beast waves.

    Qin Feng was at the frontline of every beast wave explosion.

    Meanwhile, Hu San had revealed himself at Huaxia and they found out that it was not him but Qin Feng who was roaming around the Amazon Alliance. However, the situation was too chaotic and nobody would care to rify on the actual identity of the powerful figure.

    At Greenlit City of the Amazon Alliance.

    A year ago, it was still a city in a war battle. Orphans and gangsters were all around.

    However, Qin Feng had brought along annihtion of the Dark Coalition and uprooted them from around the area. Every member belonging to the Dark Coalition waspletely ughtered.

    Now that Qin Feng had scrapped off more than half of the members of the Dark Coalition, Greenlit City had surprisingly be a purifiednd in the Amazon Alliance.

    Soon, civilians heard about the news and began to gather around. Despite theck of funding resources, the manpower avable there had slowly revived the development of the area.

    The duke of Greenlit City saw the opportunity and immediately invested in it for his own benefit. Hence, in just a year, it had be a newly rebuilt and prosperous top-tier city.

    But now, the top-tier city was under a beast wave attack.

    ¡°Hey, hey, quickly send in support, we can¡¯t hold it anymore. Do you all wish to see Greenlit City fall apart?¡±

    ¡°What? Lack of manpower? Find someone for me, where are those S-tier aptitude users?¡±

    ¡°Damn it, can¡¯t we just reach out to them? I am aware that I have no right to instruct them, but can I just beg them for a favour? There must be some way to reach theirmunicators!¡±

    ¡°Hey, hey...¡±

    Many of those signal towers established in the wilderness were destroyed and it was extremely difficult to channelmunication to the outside. Neil Bol was on pins and needles. For the past year, he had invested a lot into Greenlit City. It had also rewarded him with returns that he had never imagined before. He would certainly refuse to just give up on it.

    But the constant attacks of ultra beasts from the outside left him no choice. Cannon bombings were constantly orchestrated and they could only withstand for another two hours.

    Also, who knew when another powerful figure would arise and take on the beast wave.

    It was at that moment, Neil Bol was alerted by the rmingmunicator. His heart was thumping and he had prepared himself for the worst!

    ¡°Beep beep beep, alert, A-tier beast deity closing in. Two thousand one hundred and forty-one meters away from your location, please take cover!¡±

    It was only two kilometres away. As Neil Bol stood on the city wall, he could even feel the horrifying presence of the ultra beast.

    Followed by a vigorous beast wave, it was like a real ck-coloured wave. Grounds began to quake, earth was being stepped on, trees were being pushed down, while the oppressive beast wave was being unleashed to run wild.

    Among the beast waves, an ultra beast that was about a hundred meters tall was exceptionally noticeable.

    Terrestrial ultra beasts were usually not as huge as the sizes of sea ultra beasts. Hence, the hundred meter height of the ultra beast was already shocking enough.

    Surprisingly, it was a horrifying Rocky Mountain.

    Actually, it was also a creature with its own flesh and a type of mutated steel fibre tunicate.

    ¡°This, this looks like Devil Mountain!¡± A B-tier aptitude user mumbled.

    After all, the East Sea was far apart from the Amazon Alliance. But the splitting of the Divine Mountain by the Devil Mountain, Hundred-w and Siren Cherub that urredst year had killed many powerful figures from different alliances. As soon as the recordings were obtained, they began their research on it.

    This year, the Hundred-w and Siren Cherub were both killed by Qin Feng. Only Devil Mountain was still on the wanted list. Since its disappearance for more than a year, it was being marked as missing.

    All of them certainly did not know that the Devil Mountain had already died a year ago during the explosion of the Divine Mountain.

    The appearance of another lookalike creature of the Devil Mountain was even more horrifying than the one before. It hadpletely transformed into a beast deity and it was a moment of total despair for the people of Greenlit City.

    Neil Bol refused to believe what he had seen, and his heart started to falter.

    ¡°Attack with full force and stop it!!!¡± Neil Bolmanded as he took a few steps back, as if thinking if he should be the first to escape.

    It was at that moment, a pale-white background began to nket the area from behind the beast wave.

    It was the colour of white snow.

    It was definitely impossible to have snow in the month of June at the Amazon Alliance. Such an abrupt scene could only be exined in one way.

    It was ability usage!

    The snow storm began to expand its boundless borders, stretching up to tens of kilometres. The beast wave beyond Greenlit City was unexpectedly frozen still.

    Neil Bol witnessed the scene and he was over the moon.

    ¡°Hold on, the S-tier master from the Huaxia Alliance ising to save us!¡±

    Neil Bol certainly did not know that the person that hade was his long-time friend.

    From beyond Greenlit City, it seemed like the beast wave wasing to an end. Actually, it was right at the peak of it. Qin Feng descended from the air, while the exploding Frozen Age had frozen all of those creatures.

    The beast wave had taken ce for three days and Qin Feng had been holding onto the same hunting spot. Perhaps, the number of annihted ultra beasts had already reached hundreds of thousands.

    Regardless of the size, Qin Feng spared no chance for the survival of the creatures. His Verdant Emperor Saber on hand was humming as it was stained with even more souls.

    Although it was built with countless numbers of S-tier materials, the quality of its base material was still a little poor. It was already struggling to withstand the overwhelming number of souls.

    Qin Feng had nned to visit the Dark Citadel after the end of the battle as he wished to obtain more materials for the next transformation of his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Hence, Qin Feng had stopped using his Verdant Emperor Saber to hunt down ultra beasts.

    Boom!

    Ice ability usage within the Frozen Age was also amplified by several folds. Furthermore, Qin Feng had a horrifying amount of Sacred Ice Stones, about three thousand of them. With such amplification, the full release of them would probably be on par with the capability of an SS-tier aptitude user.

    Countless numbers of ultra beasts were torn into pieces. Several powerful A-tier ultra beasts were also impaled by ice shards and were put to irrevocable death.

    Only one creature was still marching forward and seemed to be unaffected by the snow storm.

    It was exactly the deity ss Devil Mountain.

    He crushed every other creature, sourcing nutrients from all of those crushed pieces. The Devil Mountain was getting closer and he had managed to arrive right outside of the city wall.

    ¡°Retreat, run!¡± Neil Bol shouted. Since the S-tier aptitude user had arrived, they only needed to protect their own fragile lives. The only way for them was to survive and wait for the next opportunity to strive again.

    Crack...

    The Devil Mountain crushed onto the city wall and instantly devoured it. Those who did not manage to escape were trapped into the suction pad of the Devil Mountain.

 Chapter 953 - An Old Friend

    <h4>Chapter 953: An Old Friend</h4>

    Qin Feng saw the scene and picked up a sense of foreboding. He instantly sped up and caught up with the deity ss Devil Mountain.

    The Devil Mountain was absolutely unaffected, except for some weather-beaten marks left on its stone mountain outer shell. The sturdy shell had protected him from the freezing snow and it remained unaffected by Qin Feng¡¯s Frozen Age.

    Every ultra beast had their own strengths. Being an ultra beast that came from the deep sea, the Devil Mountain had high resistance toward water and ice runes.

    ¡°Nothing the ice element can do? What about the fire element?¡±

    Qin Feng wondered to himself as his ability had already exploded.

    ¡°Doubleyer field, fire wall, magma world!¡±

    All of a sudden, the giant Devil Mountain was surrounded by fiery melted magma. His gigantic body that had crashed onto the city wall was struck by the fiery wall. He began to tremble and copse downward.

    The beast howled in grief, and it sounded like a bunch of ultra beasts roaring in rage. Also, it was like echoed noises from a valley, channelling trembling waves to strike everyone in the surroundings with a dizzy spell. Meanwhile, everyone within Greenlit City was running away. They knew that it was absolutely not a war that they could participate in.

    Neil Bol was running faster than anyone else. But soon, he realized that the Devil Mountain did not follow through and he was entangled and held back by someone else.

    Surprisingly, that person was not using ice runes but fire runes.

    Scorching magma slowly expanded as the fire dragon that rose up had entangled around the body of the Devil Mountain and was biting on the stone mountains. Amidst the drastic exchange of high and low temperature, all of those stone mountains exploded, greatly reducing its defensive capabilities.

    The Devil Mountain certainly did not give up. He sted out water waves and tried to drown those mighty mes. But the difference in terms of numbers of runes between both sides was obviously worlds apart.

    The Devil Mountain could only struggle to escape from his death.

    Looking from afar, Neil Bol¡¯s curiosity had gradually taken over and he began to put on a doubtful expression.

    ¡°Why does this presence seem kind of familiar?!¡±

    The appearance of a person would change, but not the presence. Neil Bol remembered Qin Feng¡¯s, although his presence had grown much stronger.

    It was at that moment, a glowing de exploded and shot up to the sky.

    ¡°zing Sky!¡±

    All of a sudden, a ming beam seemed to rend from the earth to the sky.

    Nine frozen stars appeared behind Qin Feng. His Verdant Emperor Saber was then embedded with internal energy as he activated the repelling force of the Asteroid Assimtion.

    The continuous channelling of energy had boosted the glowing saber to explode with insane attack power, and even the S-tier ultra beast would have to take cover from the massive explosion.

    The Devil Mountain felt Qin Feng¡¯s iing powerful presence, but its body was too massive to manoeuvre. It was impossible for it to dodge the hit.

    Wrah!

    The sabernded onto the Devil Mountain¡¯s body, he was then halved into two separate parts!

    He had certainly survived it, but both of his body parts were still trembling and squirming while trying to escape.

    However, Qin Feng was the true ruler within the fire wall. It was impossible for Qin Feng to let him escape from it.

    Glowing saber shed across and the energy core exposed from the centre of the Devil Mountain¡¯s body was dug away by Qin Feng.

    The Devil Mountain¡¯s life energy was rapidly deteriorating, and his flesh was soon burnt down by the magma. Surprisingly, the smell of grilled meat that lingered around smelled relishing.

    Bai Li jumped out from behind and retrieved the body of the Devil Mountain. The gigantic mountain then disappeared within the fire wall, and Qin Feng was the only one left behind.

    ¡°Retrieve!¡±

    Qin Feng retrieved his runes.

    In the next moment, boiling magma flowed reversely and transformed into red runes before returning into Qin Feng¡¯s body. The charred ck earth was then left exposed.

    Furthermore, icy snow covered up the area a thousand meters away. It was like a blizzard had struck the area and only snowy ground and white pines were left behind.

    Meaning to say, the S-tier ice ability demonstrated earlier was surprisingly under Qin Feng¡¯s control.

    All of a sudden, it was like they had seen their life savior.

    Thump!

    An E-tier aptitude user soldier kneeled down, forced his head onto the ground and began to speak. But soon, he realized that this person might not understand hisnguage.

    ¡°Thank you Master, thank you for saving my life!¡± The aptitude usermunicated via his consciousness.

    The aptitude user could not thank Qin Feng enough for saving him from his near-death experience. If it was not because of Qin Feng, he would have died earlier.

    The others were also awakened from the shocking moment and immediately expressed their gratitude toward Qin Feng. Everyone that had lower capabilities expressed their immense reverence while civilians in Greenlit City kneeled down together like they were afraid that their savior might not see it.

    Their sole purpose was to express their thrilled emotions.

    Being the duke of the city, Neil Bol forced himself to move forward and express his gratitude.

    ¡°Master Qin Feng, please ept my greatest gratitude. It has only been a year, and you have grown to be so powerful. This really caught me with surprise. Of course, I still can¡¯t thank you enough for saving my life!¡± Neil Bol expressed his grateful heart.

    ¡°Oh, Master Neil Bol!¡± It had only been a year, Qin Feng certainly still remembered Neil Bol. But he did not expect him to be here. Soon, Qin Feng noticed something and asked, ¡°Is this Greenlit City? You seem to be doing quite well here Master Neil Bol!¡±

    As Qin Feng had been tracking down the Devil Mountain, he actually did not pay attention to the geographical location of the area.

    It had only been a year, and the transformation of the area had caught him by surprise.

    Neil Bol was troubled by Qin Feng¡¯s question.

    Neil Bol was undecided whether to thank Qin Feng for his act of meddling in other people¡¯s business during that time or me him for causing him to lose everything and almost being penalized by the S-tier.

    Despite the mixed feelings in him, Neil Bol still sounded well mannered. ¡°Hehe, all thanks to you, Master Qin Feng. If it was not for you who helped me in eliminating the Dark Coalition members around, it was impossible for us to rebuild the new Greenlit City. It was all because of your great work, Master!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it, it was my responsibility to do so. Let me know if any Dark Coalition members dare to bully you in the future, I cane forward to help. However, I will onlye if there is a major threat. Let me know once you have decided to eliminate Eye Devil!¡±

    Eye Devil had attacked Qin Feng with three light rays, and the reason for his return was to get revenge for that.

    However, Eye Devil was an absolute ruler within the Amazon Alliance. Neil Bol felt that he was out of his mind. But at the same time, he had an unexpected gut feeling that Qin Feng might be able to do it.

    ¡®This must be a false gut feeling, I hope that he will not seed in this!¡¯

    Neil Bolforted himself as he weed Qin Feng into Greenlit City for a rest.

    Qin Feng had been constantly on the move for three consecutive days, and he was absolutely exhausted from it. For any ultra beast, the crowd in Greenlit City was definitely food that had gathered themselves together. The ultra beasts would eventually get closer to hunt them down. Hence, Qin Feng nned to rest for a day before continuing with his hunt.

    Neil Bol had prepared the most luxurious residence for Qin Feng to get his rest. On the second day, another beast wave urred.

    As time went by, the situation at the Amazon Alliance became worse. If not, the invasion would not have spread into the Huaxia Alliance borders before his rebirth.

    Afterpleting the annihtion of the new beast wave, Qin Feng was alerted by hismunicator again, it was Long Ting.

    ¡°Qin Feng, several powerful figures from other alliances are hoping that you could head over to help. Seems like they have not found any viable method to handle the Void Locust!¡±

 Chapter 954 - A â€œUselessâ€ A-tier

    <h4>Chapter 954: A ¡°Useless¡± A-tier</h4>

    There were indeed several S-tiers in the Amazon Alliance now. However, they were not there to help the Amazon Alliance to take on the beast waves. Indeed, they might y a few dozens of ultra beasts when they see them; however, those were not their real target.

    They had only one target¡ªthe S-tier Void Locust Kaiser.

    In thest two days, all four of the S-tiers were butting heads with the Void Locust Kaiser day and night. Yet, they were not able to do much damage to the monstrosity.

    Not only that, while they were taking on this dangerous entity, the people in the area did not seem to thank them at all. Instead, they had all flocked over to bow down graciously to Qin Feng, who had only been killing all those weaker, inconsequential ultra beasts, treating him as the savior of the Amazon Alliance.

    This had made the S-tiers quite unsatisfied, and they asked the Huaxia Alliance to order Qin Feng to join in their efforts to defeat the Void Locust Kaiser. So long as this S-tier monstrosity perished, the threat looming in the area would be gone; yet, this Huaxia kid did not seem to want to help them at all. This made the S-tiers think that the Huaxia Alliance did not have a proper outlook at the bigger picture of the problem.

    To be honest, Long Ting did not want to order Qin Feng around. She believed that Qin Feng would automatically step up to deal with the Void Locust Kaiser after assessing the situation in the area.

    However, to her surprise, Qin Feng did not seem to care at all.

    In fact, to Qin Feng, it was more beneficial to him if this Void Locust swarm kept on getting bigger, which meant that he could hunt down and harvest more of the ultra beast corpses. If the Void Locust Kaiser were to die, the Void Locusts might all run away and he would not be able to gain much from this.

    Still, after hearing the news and understanding what was going on in the area, there was no excuse for him to not join in the effort to take on the Void Locust Kaiser.

    ¡®Besides, I might need its S-tier material too. I can¡¯t allow others to acquire it.¡¯

    Qin Feng needed one more material to refine his Verdant Emperor Saber. The skull of the Void Locust Kaiser might be a good fit.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Lord Long Ting. I am actually about to head there now.¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Alright. However, please exercise caution. If it is not viable to kill it, we need you toe back alive.¡±

    Qin Feng was the hope for the Huaxia Alliance¡¯s future; so, she could not allow anything bad to happen to him.

    After hanging up, Qin Feng covered his consciousness over the entire Amazon Alliance. Although the Void Locust Kaiser could conceal its own presence or retreat into the void, there was no way it could hide from four people with S-tier capabilities. It was like a volcano erupting into the middle of the sky¡ªits own presence was too ring to miss.

    After locking onto its location, Bai Li activated her spatial tunnel before hopping into it with Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the city, the Void Locust Kaiser was flying in the sky. To people who did not know any better, they would think that it was being chased by S-tiers out of the city to avoid casualties. However, it flew there out of its own volition. Being an S-tier ultra beast, almost no one was able to force it to go wherever it did not want to go.

    West Lord let out a furious roar before swinging down fiercely with his gigantic axe. A sh of ck swipe red on the surface of the Void Locust Kaiser before it vanished into thin air and into the void.

    ¡°Damn it!¡± West Lord cursed out loud.

    This had happened ample times already; and there was nothing he could do to stop it from fleeing like this.

    ¡°Don¡¯t fret about it, big man. It seems that this isn¡¯t a problem that we can solve. Perhaps we should ask for an SS-tier to handle this. I heard Huaxia has one. His name is Li. We could ask them to deal with this insect.¡± Vienna said to West Lord softly.

    ¡°We did ask the Huaxia Alliance to send help. And yet, all they did was send an A-tier over!¡± On retorted grumpily. It was quite clear that On was not satisfied with the Huaxia Alliance¡¯s decision.

    They knew that Hu San was not in the Amazon Alliance. However, there seemed to be someone using S-tier abilities in the region to stop the beast waves. However, after doing a brief recon, they realized that it was just an A-tier ability user.

    ¡°He¡¯s just a weakling, useless A-tier. We can¡¯t have him join our battle. He is only strong enough to fight the beast waves down there!¡± West Lord grunted in dissatisfaction.

    ¡°I see. So, I¡¯m not weed here.¡± A fling of consciousness vibrated in their ears as two silhouettes darted toward them through a spatial tunnel.

    The three S-tiers were surprised to see this. They did not sense anyoneing near them. Even when this person had gotten close to thousands of meters, they still did not detect his presence and consciousness. If this man were sent there to assassinate them, he could actually do it without much problem.

    Qin Feng¡¯s appearance had given them a face p, especially West Lord. West Lord had begrudginglyined that the Huaxia Alliance had sent a ¡°useless A-tier¡± to their side. And yet, this ¡°useless A-tier¡± was able to get close to him without him noticing him at all.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, took a brief look at the three S-tiers. They were indeed powerful¡ªthe newly risen heroes that had ascended to S-tier in the past ten years. They were rather different from the ones like Fang Zhou.

    This was especially true for the Goddess of Ocean Vienna. She was so well-received by the public that she was almost an idol to them. There were over tens of thousands of fans, all willing to die for her.

    On was also an interesting character. He had an older brother named Obol¡ªthe A-tier ¡°King of Thunder¡± in the Philippines Alliance that Qin Feng had met before on the Divine Mountain.

    Regardless, they were still not strong enough to take on the Void Locust Kaiser. This monstrosity was, after all, a beast deity and was as powerful as Bai Li.

    Humans had limitations to their powers. Unless any one of them had ascended to the level of a deity, it would cost them dearly to take on a beast deity. Perhaps due to the Void Locust Kaiser seeing that the damage these three did on it was less than a scratch, it did not bother to even attack them.

    Thus, Qin Feng found it rather funny for them to im that they were ¡°doing their best to stop the Void Locust Kaiser¡±¡ªthese three were clearly not anywhere powerful enough to take on the S-tier beast deity. If the Void Locust Kaiser were to take them seriously, they would perish without a trace in mere minutes.

    Meanwhile, in the eyes of West Lord and his teammates, Qin Feng was a joke too. Just what could an A-tier do in a situation like this?

    West Lord was quite upset with Qin Feng¡¯s offending words. After taking a look at Qin Feng¡¯s badge, he coldly said, ¡°Was I wrong though? Just who do you think you are to want us to wee you? You¡¯re just an A-tier. You better get lost while I¡¯m still in a good mood. If that bug Kaiser appears and takes you, no one is going to save you!¡±

    Bai Li sniggered, ¡°Actually, you are the one who should run away. If not, when these locustse, there¡¯ll be no room for you to flee!¡±

    West Lord was pissed upon hearing Bai Li¡¯s words. Still, it was true that he could do nothing to harm the Void Locust Kaiser at all. Nheless, just what could an A-tier do to help the situation? Since when did A-tiers begin to act so arrogantly?

    ¡°Do you have a death wish?!¡± West Lord umted a gush of energy into his axe, wanting to swing it at the two haughty brats.

    However, Vienna was quick to stop him, ¡°Stop! We are all here to solve the crisis together, not kill one another. If these younglings want to fight, why not give them a chance? But if they were to die in the process, there¡¯s nothing we can do either.¡±

    Vienna seemed to be siding with Qin Feng and Bai Li; however, secretly, she was thinking of allowing these A-tiers to die fighting the fight they wanted to participate in so much.

 Chapter 955 - The Void Locust Kaiser

    <h4>Chapter 955: The Void Locust Kaiser</h4>

    Bai Li¡¯s haughty attitude earlier had indeed angered Vienna too. Nheless, she kept her cool and hid her cold, demeaning nature.

    ¡°Well, if you don¡¯t want to run away now, there¡¯s nothing I can do either.¡±

    Bai Li smirked before the crystal in her hand beamed out a sh of silver ray. In an instant, the silver ray had caught up onto the Void Locust Kaiser.

    West Lord and the others were surprised to see this. It did not ur to them that Bai Li could use spatial runes! The spatial runes were quite rare; in fact, up to this point in history, no human had found the means to locate a source for these runes too. On the other hand, there were a lot of ultra beasts that could use the runes¡ªespecially the spatial beasts.

    Afternding on the Void Locust Kaiser, the silver ray sshed out to form waves of silver ripples in the air, seemingly leaving the beast unharmed.

    ¡°Still no use at all!¡± West Lord opened his mouth and wanted to continue to belittle the brats before him.

    However, before he could go on, Qin Feng had already dashed onward to the Void Locust Kaiser.

    Of course, he would not be able to handle the Void Locust Kaiser¡¯s attack. The Kaiser was an S-tier beast deity while Qin Feng¡¯s body was only as strong as an A-tier beast deity.

    However, Qin Feng had S-tier rank internal energy, the entire nine globes of them.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion! Nine Stars!¡±

    ¡°Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    Fusing his internal energy in his Verdant Emperor Saber, Qin Feng unleashed all the spirits that had been absorbed from the beast waves earlier in one go! Right now, there were a million beasts dashing out of his saber! Howling of a million beast spirits could be heard echoing in the wild, spooking civilians in the area to the core of their souls.

    The Void Locusts that were flying around aimlessly suddenly let out a deafening shriek.

    Then, a massive spatial rift opened up in the sky, allowing a surge of energy to leak out of it before shutting up again.

    It took a few seconds for the S-tiers to realize that the one who shut and sealed the spatial rift was Bai Li, the girl dressed in white.

    And Qin Feng¡¯s Thousand Spirit Chain Rend hadnded on the Void Locust Kaiser¡¯s body. The Kaiser immediately took a leap backward as its body began to morph into ayer of ck. This was a sign that it was entering into the void and if it seeded, Qin Feng¡¯s attack would be wasted.

    Suddenly, everyone could sense a pair of invisible talons lunging out and clutching the Void Locust Kaiser, forcefully grabbing it out of the void¡¯s entrance. It was then, another one of Qin Feng¡¯s attacks had been unleashed.

    Seeing that it had no means of evading the attack, the Void Locust Kaiser was enraged as it let out a furious shriek before ramming straight at Qin Feng¡¯s Thousand Spirit Chain Rend! In an instance, the Void Locust Kaiser was able to crush the spirits to pieces.

    There were over thousands of beast spirits in that attack. The spirits that were crushed were mostly low-tier spirits. There were several sturdier spirits that survived the attack by the Void Locust Kaiser¡ªthese were mainly the spirits of the beast king, emperors and deities.

    There were over thousands of these spirits in the attack that Qin Feng unleashed. They had now surrounded the Void Locust Kaiser, ramming vehemently on its shell.

    These spirits were not just ¡°spirits¡±¡ªthey were also shes unleashed by the Spirit Chain Rend.

    As these spirits made contact on the shell, they turned into powerful shes and forcibly cut on it, leaving holes and deep cuts behind. Out of the dozens of powerful spirits, two wolf spirits were the most vicious¡ªthey actually left a massive hole on the kaiser¡¯s shell.

    The Void Locust Kaiser let out an excruciating shriek, showing that Qin Feng¡¯s attack had indeed harmed the creature¡ªthe creature that was impossible tond an attack on earlier.

    West Lord and the others had tried to attack it for two days but were not able to leave even a dent on it. And yet, Qin Feng was able to not only stop it in its tracks but also harm it.

    However, due to it being hurt, the Void Locust Kaiser was enraged. It red at the humans before it as the space around began to distort, sandwiching them like two massive enclosing walls.

    Not able to handle the extreme pressure from the spatial attack, the S-tiers leaped and backed away immediately.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng, who was in the middle of the battle, appeared to not be affected at all as several rays of silver light beamed around him¡ªBai Li was helping him fend off the spatial attacks with her abilities.

    Then, Qin Feng continued on unleashing his Thousand Spirit Chain Rend, forcing the Void Locust Kaiser to continue retreating. It was, after all, still a creature belonging to the insect-type. Insectoids were usually weaker whenpared individually to other beasts. They were usually able to survive and defeat enemies with their sheer numbers, not the power of one insectoid.

    The Void Locust Kaiser was indeed powerful. However, it was still no match for Bai Li.

    It might seem like it was Qin Feng who was the one dishing out the attacks that forced the Void Locust Kaiser to back away. However, in truth, Bai Li was the one that had been negating the insectoid¡¯s attacks, rendering them powerless.

    The problem was, Bai Li¡¯s abilities would also weaken Qin Feng¡¯s attack. Thus, in order to deal the damage that Qin Feng was doing right now, it would take him a great deal of internal energy to do so. Fortunately for him, he had arge amount of internal energy supply¡ªall nine starglobes of them.

    After fighting for three hours, the sky began to turn dark as night slowly encroached. Qin Feng¡¯s presence was getting more and more prevalent and yet difficult to lock onto. When night finally fell, Qin Feng¡¯s Phantom Shift made it impossible for the Void Locust Kaiser to locate him at all.

    Right now, the Void Locust Kaiser was severely wounded. Its silver blood dripped onto the ground again and again, which then solidified and became spatial stones.

    If things went on like this for a little while longer, the Void Locust Kaiser would definitely meet its demise soon.

    Knowing just what would happen if it were to stay and fight, the Void Locust Kaiser pondered for a moment before turning tail to flee away.

    ¡°Spatial Seal!¡±

    Bai Li unleashed her ability, intending to stop the bug from leaving.

    However, this time, the Void Locust Kaiser was determined to retreat from the scene. It rammed its head straight at the spatial barrier that Bai Li had formed, hurting its own head while crushing the Spatial Seal.

    Then, without hesitation, the Void Locust Kaiser quickly activated its spatial runes, blinking several times and sending itself thousands of meters away.

    Bai Li had used the same trick before to bring her and Qin Feng to travel a vast distance. However, it was rather difficult to switch to the fast-travelling skill midbat. To catch up to the insectoid at the same speed would be impossible for any ordinary ability user.

    The S-tiers were shocked when they saw this.

    ¡°We can¡¯t let it escape!¡±

    ¡°Quick! We¡¯ve got to catch up to it!¡±

    The S-tiers were anxious as they wanted to give chase. Qin Feng, however, had stopped moving.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need to go after it.¡± Qin Feng stopped Bai Li from activating her teleporting skill.

    ¡°Why are you not giving chase?! You were that close to killing it!¡± On asked.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you do it then? Your lightning is rather fast. Perhaps if you give chase now, you could actually steal the kill.¡± Qin Feng said.

    If a spatial beast were to flee, there was no one that could catch up to it. Thus, instead of chasing after it, it was better for one to wait for it to reappear and then finish it off.

    ¡°You! How can you be so reckless? We can¡¯t allow this creature to go around unchecked! Who knows how many humans it would kill when we¡¯re not looking?¡± Vienna spoke in contempt.

    ¡°You could always scout around to find it. But this time, you better contact me right away so we could actually kill it. Unless you still think that I, an A-tier, am still someone useless in this fight. If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯d save my breath and not bother looking for it if I were you.¡± Qin Feng said to the S-tiers before nodding to Bai Li.

    Seeing this, Bai Li opened up a spatial tunnel and teleported both of them away, leaving the tongue-tied S-tiers behind.

 Chapter 956 - Lava Crevice

    <h4>Chapter 956: Lava Crevice</h4>

    Originally, these S-tiers were here to earn themselves some fame and recognition. They did not expect things to turn out like this.

    However, they could not just retreat now. It would seem like they had fled from the battle after suffering a major defeat.

    After all, the Human Alliance was a huge organization. Many people in the alliance would know if they had signed up for a mission; this would mean that if they had gone back without finishing the job, they would be aughing stock in the Human Alliance.

    This was why they felt that they could not just up and retreat.

    Nheless, they also felt that they had signed up for a difficult task right now.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, did not seem to care at all and kept on ying the ultra beasts that appeared in the beast waves.

    Due to the Void Locust Kaiser having exhausted so many spirits from Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber, Qin Feng could now absorb spirits from the fallen ultra beasts again. To him, the Void Locust Kaiser had sort of be an excellent whetstone for his saber. At the same time, the Void Locust Kaiser had gone into hiding to heal its wounds, not daring to appear in front of humans after being beaten up by Qin Feng.

    Vienna and her teammates swept the entire area for three whopping days; and there was no sign of the Void Locust Kaiser. When they were about to give up, the Void Locust Kaiser emerged again. This time, it even destroyed an entire city.

    Qin Feng too had sensed its appearance.

    ¡°Let¡¯s take a look.¡±

    Bai Li opened up a spatial tunnel and brought Qin Feng into it.

    In a short leap, Qin Feng had now appeared about one hundred meters away in front of the spatial beast. There were wailings of horror and pain throughout the city that was ruined by it. Not only that, there was a huge rift that had opened up on thend.

    Qin Feng recognized this ce¡ªit was the Firework Mountain.

    The Firework Mountain was originally a volcano. However, after its fire runes had beenpletely devoured by Qin Feng, Firework Mountain had be a dead volcano.

    However, thend was slowly recovering as time went by. Due to the geographical changes that were made from Qin Feng¡¯s battle in the area, people began toe to this ce to form amunity¡ªmuch like how Greenlit City was revitalized after Qin Feng was done with the ce.

    However, this newmunity that was formed in the Firework Mountain had beenpletely destroyed.

    The mountain was crushed open, leaving a huge crevice. And the Void Locust Kaiser did not seem satisfied with the damage it had done and kept on ramming on the ground, creating a massive ravine. To the city that was built next to the dead volcano, it was a total disaster. Each ram from the Void Locust Kaiser felt like a Level 10 earthquake, which caused all the buildings in the city to copse. Many civilians were crushed to their deaths. The ability users that were stationed there werepletely powerless against the S-tier monstrosity.

    Qin Feng hovered in the sky as he gawked at Void Locust Kaiser ramming open a massive rift in the crevice¡ªthis rift looked like the one he saw underneath Dragon Ind.

    Qin Feng was quite surprised to see this.

    ¡°The energy that ising from it is so potent!¡± Bai Li said.

    Sure enough, there was a powerful energy bursting out from the rift that the Void Locust Kaiser had opened up.

    ¡°Watch out!¡±

    Qin Feng grabbed Bai Li¡¯s hand before zipping to the side, bringing both of them out of the way.

    Booom!

    The rift suddenly exploded! The dead volcano had erupted again, withva splurging out of the rift like fireworks.

    Qin Feng could sense a potent energy from theva, much like the terrifying presence he had sensed from Dragon Ind.

    However, this time the volcano¡¯s energy felt much more terrifying than the one he felt from Dragon Ind. Cold could knock you out without making a sound. Fire, however, could make your death as loud as a carnival.

    However, despite how loud and threatening this explosion was, the energy that came out of it was not as powerful as the one Qin Feng witnessed from Dragon Ind. Regardless, Qin Feng could still feel the energy overwhelming his body.

    When the S-tiers rushed to the scene, the Void Locust Kaiser also saw Qin Feng.

    Screech!!

    The Void Locust Kaiser hesitated for a moment before diving into theva.

    Qin Feng was surprised to see this.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t bugs afraid of fire? How could it go into theva?¡±

    ¡°Perhaps the starglobe¡¯s power is too weak to stop it. Besides, it could phase through anything if it wants.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go in too!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Thus, Bai Li summoned a ray of silver light to envelop her and Qin Feng before sending them both into theva.

    West Lord, Vienna and On reached the scene just in time to witness Qin Feng and Bai Li going into theva. Their faces turned grim when they saw this.

    ¡°They want to go into the core!¡± West Lord wanted to follow them but he stopped. He knew there was no way he could handle theva.

    Vienna too decided to not give chase. Although she was a water ability user and thus had a chance against the fierce fire, the great heat was too much for her. With this much heat and fire, any drop of water would be evaporated in less than a second.

    Thus, she sat down and began to meditate, absorbing the vibrant energy in the area.

    Although they knew that if these energies were depleted, this realm¡¯s death woulde sooner. However, if they did not absorb the energies that were seeping through the rift now, it would all still be wasted.

    However, On had a different idea. He clenched his teeth before leaping into theva; but as he got close to it, a pir of light emerged from theva and rammed him away.

    ¡°Ughh!¡±

    On threw up blood as his body plopped on the ground. Theva had burned him to a crisp.

    More importantly, despite his effort, On could not go near theva, much less enter it.

    ¡°How? How could they go down there but I can¡¯t?!¡± On felt so disheartened by how powerless he was.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li could enter theva because they used spatial runes.

    As such, even though Qin Feng had travelled through theva, he was not able to absorb any energy along the way.

    He looked around and noticed that the surrounding area was nothing but a shade of crimson red.

    And the Void Locust Kaiser was flying right in front of them.

    ¡°Attack it!¡±

    ¡°But it could also attack us!¡± Bai Li replied anxiously.

    ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡±

    Qin Feng had changed into his Divine me Imperial Robe. In less than a minute, ayer of barrier began to emerge around them.

    Seeing this, Bai Li worked up the courage to fling a beam of silver ray at the Void Locust Kaiser.

    In an instant, the silver ray exploded and enveloped the Void Locust Kaiser in ayer of spatial runes.

    Then, in a few silver ripples, the Void Locust Kaiser was kicked out by Bai Li¡¯s abilities.

    When it got out of the void, theva hit Void Locust Kaiser¡¯s body and began to burn it.

    Screech!!

    The Void Locust Kaiser let out an excruciating screech as it felt its body being burned and roasted.

    Then, a cube-like energy encased its whole body¡ªit had willed in a spatial cube to shield itself from theva.

    After seeing that it was now safe, the Void Locust Kaiser leaped into the void again. It threw an agonizing re at Qin Feng and Bai Li as the spatial cube around it disappeared.

    Qin Feng responded with a threat via his consciousness.

    ¡°Leave, or die!¡±

    This realm was Qin Feng¡¯s homeworld. He would never allow another dominating creature toe and endanger it.

    However, the Void Locust Kaiser did not respond well to his threat. It let out a furious screech before lunging at him with its silver spatial runes.

    This time, it was Qin Feng and Bai Li that were kicked out of the void.

    Qin Feng immediately activated his barrier to shield them against theva. Perhaps the fire runes in theva were almost as strong as Qin Feng¡¯s runes, the barriers could only handle them for about five seconds before the massive energy began crushing at Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness.

    Qin Feng felt as though his head was about to explode.

 Chapter 957 - Reborn From the Flame

    <h4>Chapter 957: Reborn From the me</h4>

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Energy in the surroundings was once again engulfed by Qin Feng¡¯s limitless appetite.

    ¡°Spatial Leap!¡±

    Bai Li cast the spatial skill and both of them once again leaped into the void.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you run!¡±

    The deeper they went, the more anxious Bai Li got. She never expected the Void Locust Kaiser to be this persistent.

    But it was entirely understandable. In such a realm nearing its demise, the energy core left by the Immortal would be at its weakest. This was the only time one could get near enough and snatch the core into their personal dimension.

    The energy emanated by the Immortal¡¯s core was absurdly powerful. If one could get hold of the core, then the fearsome power could be controlled like how one harnessed the energy engraved in a sacred stone.

    Qin Feng was not sure about the Void Locust Kaiser¡¯s intention. He only knew that the energy core might be destroyed if the Void Locust Kaiser were to recklessly rip a giant rift in there.

    If the core were to explode, then inevitably the blue star would instantly copse, too. Qin Feng would not allow it.

    ¡®Faster!¡¯ Qin Feng was growing uneasy. Before he even said anything, Bai Li had sensed the urgency and quickened their pace.

    However, both she and the Void Locust Kaiser were deity-tier spatial beasts. Bai Li could barely shorten the gap between them.

    When they were at the Aether Realm, the time needed to reach the energy core from Dragon Ind was more than ten days. Now that they were traveling through Spatial Teleportation, they had passed through thevayer in less than half a day.

    A different world came into sight.

    The center was filled with a translucent, amber-colored flowing liquid.

    The liquid was as viscous as molten metal. Infused by energy, the liquid radiated violently.

    In facing the dangerous and unstable substance, Qin Feng did not dare to let Bai Li attack the Void Locust Kaiser.

    If the Void Locust Kaiser decided to retaliate, Qin Feng did not know whether they could muster enough resistance without triggering the liquid.

    ¡°You can¡¯t pass through that. Give up now, or I will make you,¡± Qin Feng warned infuriatingly.

    The Void Locust Kaiser ignored him and continued to teleport forward.

    They had no other choice but to chase after it.

    Slowly, a starglobe came into sight.

    Even from afar, the starglobe looked humongous. The globe appeared idle. Fire runes flickered dimly and sparingly on its surface.

    It was a scarlet core. Instead of scorching heat, Qin Feng felt warmth as they approached it.

    More so, he felt connected to it.

    He was born on this starglobe. The core seemed to recognize that and was embracing him.

    Qin Feng was an orphan. This warmth must be how a mother¡¯s hug felt, he reckoned.

    Actually, he should not be feeling any temperature as he was leaping through an isted realm.

    But the unexinable, vivid sensation lingered.

    Qin Feng got a better look at the globe as they drew closer to it. The ice starglobe¡¯s diameter in the Aether Realm was at least three hundred meters wide. The scarlet starglobe in front of him had only ten meters left now.

    Without vast energy surrounding it, the core could be easily absorbed by an S-tier.

    It was no different for the Void Locust Kaiser.

    That was the reason why it was rushing here.

    Qin Fengmanded as he saw that the Void Locust Kaiser was getting closer and closer to the core.

    ¡°Attack!¡±

    Bai Li did not hesitate. Her spatial runes charged straight at the Void Locust Kaiser.

    The Void Locust Kaiser did not expect Bai Li tounch an attack this close to the core. It retaliated furiously.

    Spatial runes exploded within the realm. Qin Feng reflexively pushed Bai Li away.

    She managed to get away in time but Qin Feng was not as lucky. The shockwave hit Qin Feng and sted him as well as the Void Locust Kaiser out of the realm. They both plunged into the amber pool.

    Instantly, Qin Feng felt the water rippling through every cell in his body.

    Boom!

    A me ignited on Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Rapidly, the Divine me Imperial Robe on him was burnt away. His battle suit caught fire and disappeared in no time too. Even his Verdant Emperor Saber was on the verge of melting.

    Bai Li¡¯s eyes rounded in despair.

    ¡°I am fine!¡± A sound came through her consciousness.

    In the next moment, Qin Feng began to move inside the energy pool. He retrieved the saber into one of his spatial rings, then endured the infusion of the amber energy.

    He was indeed in pain as his cells were scorched by the amber liquid. But almost immediately, new cells proliferate to rece the destroyed old cells.

    The fire could be destructive, but could also nurture new life.

    Qin Feng¡¯s physique was already sturdy. Yet, the me seemed to have further reconstructed his body. His physique did not instantly level up but its potential was raised to a new, limitless height.

    He did not indulge in the upgrade for too long but hastily jumped into the air.

    ¡°Rampage Influx!¡±

    Qin Feng burst into speed andnded on the back of the Void Locust Kaiser. He grabbed its wings tightly.

    ¡°You can¡¯t run this time!¡±

    Chirp!

    The Void Locust Kaiser shrieked pathetically. In contrast to Qin Feng, it faced a different fate after being dropped into the liquid. The me had softened its outer shell considerably.

    Qin Feng did not draw his Verdant Emperor Saber. He believed in his physique more at this point.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng tore the Void Locust Kaiser¡¯s wing brutally. Silver-colored blood spurted out from the lesion and turned into spatial stone immediately.

    A normal beast would have dropped dead at this point. But being a spatial beast, the Void Locust Kaiser was far more resistant to all the other types of runes.

    But such resistance still had its limit. The beast was not invincible.

    Qin Feng extended his arms and grabbed on the next pair of wings. He tore off the rest of its wings.

    The Void Locust Kaiser was half-submerged in the amber liquid while being attacked by Qin Feng from the back. It wanted to trigger a spatial rift to escape but found that its power was being suppressed by even greater strength.

    Qin Feng stepped on its body and strolled to its head.

    In the next moment, he raised his fist and struck it right between its antenna.

    Crack!

    His fist was buried deep into the Void Locust Kaiser¡¯s head.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Qin Feng threw his fist relentlessly. He smashed the head into a mush until his entire body sank into it.

    The red liquid flowed down and was wrapped around the beast. It had lost all signs of vitality. The Void Locust Kaiser had stiffened into a giant spatial stone.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness rocked the space around him, signifying its upgrade!

    A6-tier!

 Chapter 958 - Return to the Surface

    <h4>Chapter 958: Return to the Surface</h4>

    Bai Li reached out to Qin Feng who was bathed by the flowing amber fluid. Worry was written all over her eyes.

    Qin Feng waved his hand and handed the body of the Void Locust Kaiser to her instead. He could not store the spatial stone in his own spatial equipment.

    Bai Li kept the giant stone into her dimension and once again extended her hand to him. She wanted to pull Qin Feng away from the dangerous-looking liquid as soon as possible.

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze fell on the fire core. He was having mixed feelings.

    The core made him feel at home. He now finally knew how warm and assuring a mother¡¯s touch was. Qin Feng swore that he would protect the core with all his might, no matter the cost.

    He took a final look, then grabbed Bai Li¡¯s hand. The contact immediately drew him back into Bai Li¡¯s dimension.

    Covered by the silver spatial runes, the amber me was immediately extinguished. Bai Li stared at him amusingly and poked his bare chest.

    Now only did Qin Feng realize that his battle suit, as well as the Divine me Imperial Robe, had been melted away by the me.

    Though hemented the loss of an S-tier armor, the Imperial Robe was not that useful since it could not fend off the core¡¯s energy anyway.

    Besides, he did gain something in this journey. Though he did not consciously absorb the runes from the core, some of them were imbued into his body.

    Through that, he had mastered a new fire-type ability.

    His consciousness immediately recognized the ability as re of Death.

    It sounded ordinary but Qin Feng believed its force had to beparable to that of the Finger of Death or Cold Whisper of Death since the three skills were named simrly.

    This alone was worth the trip.

    ¡°Let¡¯s return,¡± Qin Feng said. Bai Li held his hand and disappeared in a sh.

    They move speedily and cautiously. Bai Li did not want to expose them to danger on their way up.

    A day had passed by the time they returned to the original location. Other than the S-tiers led by West Lord, there were a dozen more ability users there. Fang Zhou, who Qin Feng had coborated with, was there too.

    There was also an S-tier who was in charge of the West Region.

    Finally, Qin Feng saw him. A familiar face, but he was a foe, not a friend.

    He was no doubt a handsome-looking man in his twenties. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle. His stare could almost poke a burning hole through a person.

    The snow robe on him was decorated by a pattern in gold. It glowed in a way that only an S-tier armor would have.

    Eye Devil.

    Eye Devil did not show himself when the fierce battle first broke out in the Amazon Alliance. Even though he was the strongest elect of this region, he did not care one bit about this ce because he was a member of the Dark Coalition.

    But the profuse core energy that leaked out from the rift opened by the S-tier Void Locust Kaiser had sessfully intrigued him. He came eventually and trained amidst the thick energy.

    The elects here had alle for the same reason.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s reappearance had caught their attention.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± The guardian of the West had met Qin Feng before and he greeted him.

    ¡°Pleased to meet you, Mr. Han Guangming!¡± Qin Feng nodded and led Bai Li over.

    Though they had little interaction before, Qin Feng knew him through the database stored in the Human Alliance town. In fact, he now owned the details of all S-tiers, especially those from Huaxia.

    This was not the time for formality. Han Guangming asked anxiously, ¡°Qin Feng, did you manage to catch the Void Locust Kaiser? How¡¯s the geo heart?¡±

    The location of the Immortal¡¯s energy core was known as the geo heart even before the end of times. Its name had been retained till this day.

    Qin Feng had made up the exnation on their way back. He said immediately, ¡°The energy in there is formidable. We can¡¯t get anywhere near it. After chasing it for a while, the Void Locust Kaiser wanted to turn back. We cornered it and forced it deeper down theva. In the end, it was killed by the scorching heat. I guess we kind of aplished the mission.¡±

    Qin Feng did not reveal that he had seen the core. If it was this easy to reach, the elites from the Dark Coalition would definitely be eyeing it.

    ¡°Great job!¡± Han Guangmingmended. Fang Zhou nodded delightfully too.

    West Lord, in contrast, was not as pleased. In the end, Qin Feng had once again gotten the benefits.

    ¡°How about the beast¡¯s carcass? You might have let it escape and you are lying to us.¡± On said grimly.

    On was thrown out when he tried to follow the Void Locust Kaiser and Qin Feng into theva crevice. He was clearly discontent that an A-tier was having better luck than him.

    Qin Feng red at On emotionlessly. He was not at all offended. Besides, On¡¯s outlook was ratherical right now after being ejected from the rift.

    Bai Li rebutted, ¡°You want to see the carcass? I can show you. But please don¡¯t tell me you want a piece of it. You have no right since you can¡¯t even touch the Locust¡¯s shell!¡±

    On gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I am not that shameless. Our contribution will be rewarded by the alliance. I just want to see the body for confirmation.¡±

    ¡°Do you guys concur?¡± Qin Feng looked at West Lord and Vienna.

    Since On had already said so, and they were both wary of Bai Li, they did not dare to object.

    Instinctively, they were intimidated by Bai Li. They knew she was a very different creature and yet, she was unusually obedient to Qin Feng. That was enough to deter them.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, we just want to see it to be sure.¡±

    ¡°If you are lying, then we will be in grave danger without knowing it.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded at Bai Li after he had their word. Bai Li thus opened her dimension and took out the Locust¡¯s carcass.

    The body had beenrgely melted by the core. It looked like a melting silver ornament. No one doubted Qin Feng¡¯s im now after seeing therge spatial stone.

    The oue was a huge blow to West Lord and others. They were disappointed that Qin Feng had indeed captured the Void Locust Kaiser.

    ¡°Alright, this is not the time to dwell on this. You can put that away,¡± Han Guangming said to Bai Li. He knew this belonged to Bai Li and Qin Feng. Even though he could not get it, he would not allow others to bully hisrade from Huaxia.

    Bai Li did as she was told. Qin Feng looked at the giant rift thoughtfully. It seemed the strata could not stop the core¡¯s energy from leaking out. It would be devastating if the rift was left unsealed.

    ¡°We should evacuate the people around here. I will have people seal this rift up,¡± Han Guangming said. This was his purpose from the beginning. He was an earth ability user.

    Apparently, not everyone agreed with his decision.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the things that are happening inside the Amazon Alliance.¡± Eye Devil opened his eyes. The gleam from his eyes immediately lit up the world around them.

 Chapter 959 - I Will Return Three Hits

    <h4>Chapter 959: I Will Return Three Hits</h4>

    Eye Devil was a light-type S-tier ability user. Ironically, he belonged to the dark side.

    This indicated that the ability learned did not necessarily portray one¡¯s will. True, a dark ability user would fall easily to the wrong side, but that did not mean that a light ability user could not be a hypocrite.

    Nheless, Eye Devil was not a hypocrite. He had always been this cruel. His unforgiving nature was the epitome of being cold-blooded.

    Eye Devil did not care what destruction the rift might cause. He only knew that this would greatly benefit him.

    Being an overbearing brute his entire life, Eye Devil had no room for reasoning.

    He was not afraid of the seven Human Alliances¡¯ users, or even Qin Feng who had just returned from the core unscathed.

    This was because Eye Devil was the most powerful among them. He had attained S9-tier and was only one step away from breaking through to SS-tier. This rift came at the right time and was vital to him.

    The rest of the aptitude users scowled out of annoyance. But it was futile to reason with Eye Devil.

    Qin Feng bravely stepped out.

    ¡°Eye Devil, I wonder if you still remember me?¡±

    Eye Devil turned to Qin Feng. Blinding lights immediately shone on him. An internal force shield in front of Qin Feng blocked the threatening radiance, enabling him to stare at the assaulter¡¯s eyes.

    Eye Devil was stunned by the sturdiness of Qin Feng¡¯s internal force shield. Not even an S-tier could cast such durable armor. But his face quickly turned emotionless again.

    ¡°I don¡¯t usually remember a nobody.¡±

    Qin Feng smirked. Not offended, he said, ¡°I hope you won¡¯t change your mind after today.¡±

    Eye Devil¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain. To him, this was a joke, a clown show.

    ¡°Do you need a lesson?¡±

    ¡°Well, you did that a year ago, remember? You hit me good, in fact, three times with your light beam. Not only that but another beam chased me all the way back to the Huaxia Alliance. My loss was rather substantial then. It¡¯s time for me to return the three hits.¡±

    Qin Feng was sent packing by Eye Devil helplessly during that fight. This was a good time to return the favor.

    Qin Feng¡¯s words reminded Eye Devil about him. A lowly B-tier aptitude user had be an A-tier in just one year. Such a leveling speed was indeed frightening.

    As a member of the Dark Coalition, Eye Devil knew he must crush the rivaling prodigy in front of him.

    To Eye Devil, only he deserved to be called a prodigy. The others were simply fakes.

    ¡°Since you want a quick death, I will make your wishe true,¡± Eye Devil said coldly. He would not allow Qin Feng to release his ability. A giant eyeball immediately emerged above him.

    The eyeball was actually the materialization of Eye Devil¡¯s ability core. It was wrapped by a specific god weapon. The weapon could condense the ability and amplify its power.

    The eyeball was half-close at first, which then suddenly opened wide. A blinding illumination burst out from it and pierced Qin Feng¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°Be careful!¡± Fang Zhou was concerned. He eyed the battle closely and was prepared to assist Qin Feng.

    The others, on the other hand, were having a different thought.

    ¡°What an arrogant kid! This is suicide!¡±

    ¡°How ignorant could he be to provoke Eye Devil so tantly?¡±

    ¡°He is better dead...¡±

    Qin Feng faced the light beams withposure and raised his finger. A darkser was shot out from it.

    ¡°One!¡± Qin Feng started counting. The darkser sliced the air carrying a vicious deadly aura. Everyone at the scene could feel the menace of the deadly strike.

    Fang Zhou¡¯s life force was weak, to begin with. When the darkser was cast, he subconsciously took a step back, being intimidated by the perilous and threatening death aura.

    In the next moment, light and dark, ck and white collided.

    In almost everyone¡¯s perception, light could disperse the darkness. But that was clearly a biased concept. When night arrived, darkness could easily engulf light too.

    Hence, when the two contrasting forces met, the winner would be the one with greater power.

    To the onlookers, Eye Devil was clearly the stronger one.

    Upon impact, the two beams dispersed silently. The world seemed to turn colorless, leaving only ck and white for a brief moment.

    This was when a calm voice and a blue swipe broke the colorless stalemate.

    ¡°Two!¡± Qin Feng struck again. His move was insanely fast.

    It was almost impossible to condense runes this fast, let alone an entirely different type of rune.

    The first strike was the Finger of Death. The second one was the Cold Whisper of Death.

    Even Eye Devil was caught off guard by Qin Feng¡¯s non-dyed attacks. He rapidly triggered his ability. The giant eyeball unleashed another beam but it was activated a little toote.

    The Cold Whisper of Death was only ten meters away now. While Qin Feng¡¯s skill was already at its peak, the God¡¯s Eye was only starting to gain momentum.

    Crack!

    The cold beam had frozen the light beam.

    Though the ice was melting continuously, in the end, the ice runes still managed to crawl their way onto the eyeball. It instantly froze up Eye Devil¡¯s energy core.

    In that instant, Eye Devil could only feel coldness imploding from within his soul. Even his mind was seemingly shutting down because of the ice runes.

    But soon, light burst out from his body. Heatparable to that of the sun immediately expelled the chillness.

    ¡°Three!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s voice was heard again. Almost simultaneously, terrifying fire runes crushed forward ferociously.

    The re of Death.

    From Qin Feng¡¯s first ability till now, only ten seconds had passed. He had cast three sessive S-tier abilities, each one as deadly as the previous one.

    Especially the final attack. On was spooked watching it. This was the same attack that repelled and burned him earlier.

    ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± On did not want to believe it. But the fact was undeniable.

    Ten seconds, three different rune types, three S-tier abilities.

    Now, they no longer thought Qin Feng was trying tomit suicide. Instead, they were eager to know whether Eye Devil could withstand the final assault.

    At the final moment, the white light within Eye Devil once again erupted.

    ¡°Infinite Light, Invincible!¡±

    A giant halo shrouded Eye Devil whole. The re of Death hit right onto it.

    Both were S-tier abilities, one a piercing spear while the other one a blocking shield. It was hard to tell which had the advantage.

    If there was any tiny wrinkle, then it would be on Eye Devil, who had sustained two sessive S-tier abilities before this. His scrambling defense was definitely not at its absolute best now.

    Boom!

    The me torrent poured in and pressured the light.

 Chapter 960 - Firework Mountain No More

    <h4>Chapter 960: Firework Mountain No More</h4>

    Crack!

    A fissure opened up through the light shield in front of Eye Devil.

    Then, the violent me devoured Eye Devil.

    The snow robe was the first to catch fire. The impact sent Eye Devil flying back to a hill thousands of meters away.

    Utter silence befell the scene, to the point where they could hear their own breathing.

    Their gaze fell upon the man on the far side. Eye Devil¡¯s body was charred. His usual elegance hadpletely abandoned him.

    Qin Feng spoke through his consciousness, ¡°Eye Devil, what do you think about my three attacks? Are theyparable to the light attack from your Devil¡¯s Eye?¡±

    Right after Qin Feng had finished talking, Eye Devil¡¯s expression changed, and he could no longer hold it in. He groaned and blood spilled over the edge of his mouth.

    His final attempt to preserve his mighty image had failed.

    Everything happened too abruptly. Eye Devil was at his limit after being hit by three S-tier abilities in quick session.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Eye Devil red at him resentfully.

    Qin Feng did not back down. To him, Eye Devil was no longer a far-fetched target. Now, he was just another loser he could easily trample over.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I will remember what happened today,¡± Eye Devil said bitterly.

    Qin Feng nodded and replied carefreely, ¡°That¡¯s what I did. You know where to find me whenever you feel like killing me.¡±

    Eye Devil was even more exasperated. Qin Feng mockingly hinted that what happened to him today was a consequence of his provocation.

    They were now tangled in a feud, much like the conflict between Qin Feng and He Tianxing in the past.

    However, they both tacitly knew that this was not the time to give it all. There would always be opportunities to assassinate the opponent in the future.

    Though unwilling, Eye Devil turned into a burst of light and disappeared disgruntledly.

    Him lingering around would only invite more enemies once they learned that he was injured. That was too much risk to take. Hence, he gave in and retreated from the rift.

    The remaining users were left speechless.

    Only five minutes had passed despite thepact sequence of events. It was truly unexpected to see Eye Devil flee in such bad shape.

    It was unreal. But Qin Feng was not at all surprised by the oue. He called out to Han Guangming.

    ¡°Mr. Han, let¡¯s get the rift sealed up. I will give you a hand. Whether it will be reopened in the future or not is not something we can control now. After sealing it, we should report it to the Human Alliance and have them safeguard it.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s words drew everyone back into reality.

    ¡°Ok! The best we can do is have a surveince satellite hovering over this rift 24/7. Unfortunately, this location lies within the Amazon Alliance¡¯s border. We have no jurisdiction to dispatch an armed force here.¡±

    ¡°That would not be necessary. Even an S-tier would not be able to get through it easily. My only concern is the constant leakage of the starglobe¡¯s energy through the rift.¡± Qin Feng said.

    Qin Feng meant no offense, but On felt insulted anyway. He announced coldly, ¡°Since there is nothing left for me to do here, I will excuse myself first.¡±

    On thought that Qin Feng was insinuating that he was the incapable S-tier that could not enter the geo heart. He was clearly upset but dared not chastise the man who had just forced back an SS-tier. Like Eye Devil, he could only exit bitterly.

    ¡°I have something else to attend to too. Goodbye.¡±

    ¡°I will leave first.¡±

    The other S-tiers withdrew one after another. In the end, only Han Guangming and Fang Zhou stayed back.

    ¡°Hehe. I am too old for this. This type ofbor suits you youngsters more. You two should work more.¡± Fang Zhou strolled away casually too after saying goodbye. Nheless, each step he took, despite seemingly unhurried, took him about a thousand meters away. In just a few shes, his figure was no longer in sight.

    ¡°Forget it. I have never counted on them from the start.¡±

    From the beginning, Han Guangming was here solely to shut the rift. In contrast, the others had arrived to see what benefits they could reap from this opportunity. Some even dreamt of hunting down the Void Locust Kaiser and harnessing the valuable materials on the beast.

    In fact, his burden had been lessened considerably since Qin Feng was willing to stay and help. Furthermore, thetter had saved him the trouble of confronting Eye Devil himself!

    Hence, Han Guangming¡¯s attitude toward Qin Feng had changed a lot too. He could not have summoned three different types of S-tier ability. Not only that but he also did not have the confidence in forcing back Eye Devil.

    Han Guangming believed that Qin Feng was destined to be different. There was no harm in befriending him now. Even though Qin Feng did not want to be part of his faction, at least the rtionship today could flower into a rewarding coboration in the future.

    Han Guangming set his focus straight and got to work. Thend began to quiver. Beneath the Firework Mountain, the city that was cut in half was moved to a safe distance under his earth ability.

    Then, a giantndslide crashed down from the mountain and covered the exposedva.

    Qin Feng triggered his ability too. He might be not as skilled and resourceful as Han Guangming in terms of earth abilities, but moving rocks and stones required little finesse. The mountain literally ttened out to cover the giant crack.

    This ce has turned into a in now. Firework Mountain had been wiped out from the map.

    After the finishing touch, Han Guangming returned to the Human Alliance, while Qin Feng decided to take care of the beast wave before leaving.

    The Void Locust Kaiser hade to open a giant rift near Firework Mountain because this ce was the closest to the core. After Qin Feng fended off Eye Devil, a lot of S-tiers from the Dark Coalition had actuallye to survey the location. They, of course, had the means to avoid the surveince satellite. But after digging deep, they had failed to detect any energy flow. Even the mantleyer had mysteriously vanished.

    The strata were ever-changing. A lot of people believed that the geo heart was the crystal core left behind by the Immortal. Thus, it was probably conscious and could protect itself. After its ess point was exposed, the core perhaps sensed the threat and promptly removed it.

    Qin Feng was relieved when he heard the news. His realm seemed safe, for now.

    ***

    The scary beast wave was frozen in winter weather. A few A-tier beast emperors fled frantically. However, even the rift that led them here had been iced. They had no way to run.

    Abruptly, they were killed by a bursting sword radiance.

    The giant bodies copsed to the ground. The flesh and blood fused with Qin Feng and propelled his physique to another level.

    A3-tier.

    At this point, Qin Feng possessed S-tier internal force, A6-tier conscious energy, and A3-tier physique. After his mass hunting, the beast wave that wrecked the Amazon Alliance had mostly settled down.

    After he killed the Void Locust Kaiser, this timeline must have branched toward another direction again. Qin Feng knew in thising year, the number of rifts around Earth would grow exponentially. This was perhaps a warning sign of pre-copse.

    Now, it was time to eliminate these threats.

 Chapter 961 - Flattery in Your Face?

    <h4>Chapter 961: ttery in Your Face?</h4>

    Perhaps, the first sign of the copse was the reason why Earth¡¯s Alliance wanted to find the Immortal.

    Now, everything had changed!

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. To the Dark Citadel!¡± Qin Feng said to Bai Li. He no longer wished to participate after the Amazon Alliance incident! The most important thing was that in a few days, the Dark Citadel¡¯s auction was about to begin.

    Fire Phoenix looked very uneasy. By using anothermunicator, she had been trying to contact Qin Feng, wanting him to go to the Dark Citadel.

    Of course, Fire Phoenix did not make that obvious, instead she reported on how much of the needed materials she had gathered.

    In that case, if Qin Feng wanted to use these materials to forge or craft anything he would naturally have to return to the Dark Citadel.

    On the Dark Citadel¡¯s bridge across the sea, group after group of people began to gather. Compared tost year, there were definitely more people.

    Three aptitude users were hidden in a car, watching the bustling city with greed shing in their eyes.

    ¡°Voodoo Lord, I don¡¯t know if the person described is actually as strong as you say!¡±

    ¡°Heh, maybe it was a fluke from the beginning. If you were to rush up, maybe they would get grinded to dust by you!¡±

    Voodoo Lord had some doubts in his heart, but this also meant that the fear that was left within Qin Feng was starting to fade as time passed and his ambition had grown.

    The location of the Dark Citadel was perfect indeed. In addition to the over-sea bridge that could connect to the inner powers of the Huaxia Alliance, there were several water routes around which could be nned into shippingnes at any time.

    For Shao Tai, the Boat King, this was just too good to pass up.

    Another S-tier who was present was an unattractive woman called Faceless Lord. It was not because she had no face, but because she could change through thousands of faces and was a top-level assassin.

    When these three got together, it was obvious that they were bound to start some trouble.

    This time, this was a scouting attempt.

    They nned to meet the ck Alps Overlord for a bit. If this person was really as strong as they say, maybe they could win him over, if not, then they could simply crush him.

    ***

    In the Dark Citadel office building, Qin Feng sat in the main seat and the A-tiers around him were carefully reporting the recent situation of the city.

    They had even listed some dangerous targets.

    ¡°Although Voodoo Lord is cooperating with us, he¡¯s probably secretly making his moves. The spies we have on his side say that he has disappeared!¡±

    ¡°This time, there¡¯s also Blizzard King, the Daoist of Heaven and Earth... These people wille and they are a great threat to us, but we can¡¯t just chase them away!¡±

    ¡°So we¡¯ll have to take more precautions!¡±

    Everyone around him had something to say about the topic.

    At this moment, Fire Phoenix spoke up. ¡°There is another person, this person is now our greatest enemy!¡±

    Qin Feng looked at Fire Phoenix. Although d in dark armor and a dark cloak, Fire Phoenix could feel that the ck Alps Overlord was listening attentively to her, even wondering who this greatest enemy was.

    Fire Phoenix spoke with concern. ¡°Everyone here should still remember the B-tier from the Huaxia Alliance that came herest year, Qin Feng.¡±

    At this time, everyone looked concerned as well, except Qin Feng who sat in the head seat that now felt ufortable. When it came to analyzing people behind their backs, he could not help but feel a little weird about analyzing himself behind his own back.

    ¡°The Overlord must not know! This Qin Feng isn¡¯t some small character!¡± Upon seeing that Qin Feng was not reacting, Fateless did not try to maintain his smug devil attitude.

    ¡°Thest time Qin Feng came over he was B-tier but he could resist He Tianxing without losing, and even manage to cut off one of He Tianxing¡¯s legs. However, in a year, he¡¯s managed to reach A-tier and get his hands on three S-tier abilities. His cast time for them is really short as well. If he reaches S-tier, he¡¯d be unstoppable!¡±

    ¡°Recently in the Amazon Alliance, Qin Feng managed to kill the Void Locust Kaiser and in the next five minutes he defeated Eye Devil, letting them escape with a loss. While it¡¯s said he¡¯s only an A-tier, he¡¯s definitely reached S-tier in terms of strength. If hees, then things definitely won¡¯t be good!¡±

    Fire Phoenix let out a sigh, ¡°What I¡¯m also worried about is that Qin Feng doesn¡¯t know that He Tianxing is dead. Those two have forged a hatred for each other. With his current strength, it should be expected that he mighte over to enact his revenge!¡±

    If it was not for the fact that these people did not know his true identity, Qin Feng would have thought that his Dusk Dragon Club subordinates were throwing ttery in his face.

    ¡°Oh, I know what happened!¡± Qin Feng said, then reassured the others. ¡°If hees here, then I¡¯m certainly going to make sure he can¡¯t leave!¡±

    Of course, Qin Feng would not appear as himself. There was no need to make things moreplicated, after all many people were still thinking that Qin Feng was dealing with the beast waves in the Amazon Alliance!

    He would have to be more careful. He Tianxing had not appeared for a long time and that would eventually make people start feeling suspicious.

    After all, Qin Feng did not understand He Tianxing. His activities did not just span throughout the realms but also within the Dark Coalition. This news could be kept for a while but it could not be kept forever. In this case, it would only be a matter of time before ambitious people start making their moves.

    Especially Voodoo Lord.

    He was the only who knew about He Tianxing¡¯s death.

    However, the present Qin Feng was different from the past Qin Feng.

    After the meeting, he went to the vi and stayed there to rest, and then Bai Li silently appeared and transformed into her human form.

    Being in the Amazon Alliance for almost a month, they have not had a good rest and were finally able to rx.

    Bai Li was browsing through a shopping website while Qin Feng took out the Magical Tesseract and went to the practice room.

    Then, the Verdant Emperor Saber, the recently purchased S-tier materials and the Void Locust Kaiser¡¯s body parts were all taken out andid out one by one.

    Qin Feng had retrieved the Void Locust Kaiser¡¯s ramming horn and ability crystal core. While humans were unable to manipte space using abilities, they could use materials from spatial beasts to make weapons to gain spatial powers.

    When Bai Li got a Spatial Whip, those B-tier aptitude users tried to take it for themselves. It only proved how popr such equipment was.

    Several materials were fused together, and strangely, the Magical Tesseract¡¯s changes were much slower this time.

    ¡°I thought that the Magical Tesseract has no limits, it seems that this Magical Tesseract is just an S or SS-tier god item!¡±

    The spatial crystal core gradually condensed and the colliding end of the Void Locust Kaiser¡¯s horns also softened as more essence was being extracted, and then the S-tier materials began to merge into the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    In an instant, a silver glow spread all over the Verdant Emperor Saber and thin cracks began to appear. These cracks did not appear on the de itself, but instead they were floating over the de like silver patterns.

    The me on the Verdant Emperor Saber shrank back and the ck mes were no longer exposed, but the souls contained inside screeched. When the spatial crystal core was merged in, many low level ultra beast souls were shattered.

    In an instant, the Verdant Emperor Saber shone brightly.

 Chapter 962 - Faceless Lord Rushes in

    <h4>Chapter 962: Faceless Lord Rushes in</h4>

    The current Verdant Emperor Saber had be an S-tier super god weapon.

    Something from an S-tier beast god in Earth¡¯s Alliance was considered as a unique material. That was because they did not have such a powerful ultra beast in their own realm to begin with and there were too few SS-tiers to throw around. Any aptitude user that had reached that position would rarely take risks.

    Therefore, the Verdant Emperor Saber¡¯s sharpness was almost unparalleled.

    Of course, Qin Feng would upgrade the Verdant Emperor Saber again in the future until it became an SS-tier super god weapon, or achieve the SSS-tier that was on par with an Immortal god weapon if possible.

    The de was taken out of the Magical Tesseract.

    It had gained a new trait that allowed it to ignore space, but the specific method to operate this would have to be tested inbat.

    Then, Qin Feng used materials from the Void Locust Kaiser to make a scabbard. Finally, there was a scabbard that could contain the Verdant Emperor Saber¡¯s power.

    ¡°I should make some more weapons, there might be more battlester on!¡±

    Qin Feng had the alter-ego of the ck Alps Overlord. There was a possibility that he would end uping into blows with other people, if that was the case then it would be safer to make some weapons.

    The weapons used to assassinate He Tianxing were obviously not suitable for now.

    He thought for a moment and took out the teeth of the two Wolf Kings he had killed on Dragon Ind.

    Fire Phoenix knew that he had gone to Dragon Ind and many wolf-type ultra beasts lived there. These two materials probably would not raise too much attention.

    Hebined them with some materials from the Void Locust Kaiser and some materials that Fire Phoenix had gathered to create a pair of snow white daggers.

    The two daggers had silver patterns on them, indicating that they also had spatial traits as well as the aura of an S-tier beast. Those two wolves were only beast king tier, not even close to beast emperor, but if Qin Feng did not conceal this aura it would be very easy for people to identify them as weapons made with S-tier beast king materials.

    While they were notparable to god weapons, their level of craftsmanship was definitely out of this world.

    Definitely a valuable pair.

    Qin Feng hung the daggers on his waist. At this moment, he keenly felt that three unique auras had invaded his territory.

    ¡°Unexpectedly, someone arrived just when I finished making things. Wonder if my daggers would get a taste of some blood!¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    ¡°Bai Li, you stay here. I¡¯m going out to meet an old friend!¡±

    ¡°That Voodoo Lord? Go ahead!¡± Bai Li waved her hand without so much as a raise of her head.

    When he was trying to assassinate He Tianxing, Bai Li would get worried, but now, while time had not passed for very long, these two had once again improved in power.

    If he was going out to kill He Tianxing this time, there was nothing to fuss about, the process of nning and caution could be glossed over.

    As long as he made his move, He Tianxing would die.

    So say, Voodoo Lord were toe, bringing three or five more, it would not matter. They were all the same to the current Qin Feng.

    ¡°When you buy something, send it to Fengli, don¡¯t send it here!¡±

    ¡°I know!¡±

    Qin Feng gave another look at Bai Li browsing through an online store and left.

    ***

    On the sea bridge, the three who had previously been in light conversation were now wearing gloomy expressions and were very unhappy.

    They were stuck on the bridge!

    Due to Qin Feng¡¯s return, the Dusk Dragon Club spread out the rumor that this year¡¯s auctioned items would be more plentiful than thest and be of higher quality, so everyone rushed to the Dark Citadel.

    The moment the number of people increased, that bridge had a strange scene that only happened during the peaceful times two hundred years ago.

    A traffic jam!

    Originally, when Voodoo Lord and the others saw such a scene, they were fantasizing about owning such a city in the future. They thought about how prosperous this meant the city was and how great it would be, but after two hours of being in a traffic jam, their faces shifted into foul expressions.

    After all, since they were already here would it not be too shameful to not actually try?

    This situation had really be a dilemma!

    Faceless Lord was the first to fold. ¡°Let¡¯s meet separately inside!¡±

    Faceless Lord was an assassin, so she was very good at hiding her tracks. This kind of situation where she was stuck on the road was disgraceful to her.

    ¡°Good idea, you go on ahead and see if that ck Alps Overlord is in there or not!¡± Voodoo Lord said.

    Faceless Lord nodded and got out of the car.

    Around her were others who had been stuck on the bridge. They decided to put away their hover cars and started walking toward the intersection. Faceless Lord¡¯s movements did not attract anyone¡¯s attention.

    There were five B-tier aptitude users who had locked down the bridge but the people locked on the bridge were hundreds of A-tiers. Still, nobody dared to make a move.

    When in the shadow of a famous person, one needed to be aware of who the lord of the house was before they tried whacking the dogs.

    Toe here, one had to understand the rules, if not, then an S-tier aptitude user would get provoked. He Tianxing¡¯s temper had always been terrible.

    People were charged before they could go in, and as a result there was a long line ahead of her. As people continued to pass by, Faceless Lord would still have to wait for half an hour.

    Being an S-tier, Faceless Lord naturally had unique privilege when out and about. Now that she was being hindered by five B-tiers she actually found this kind of ridiculous.

    Besides, she did not hold the ck Alps Overlord with any regard. Her form distorted and disappeared from where she stood as she instantly flew up into the air and over the toll booths blocking the road!

    These toll booths werepletely electronic and they needed someone to scan their badges before they could pass. Even with how powerful Faceless Lord was, she still had to scan her badge to pass. With scanning, the moment she rushed through an rm started to ring!

    Beep Beep!

    The sudden rm drew everyone¡¯s attention, as if they were surprised that anyone would be so bold as to try and rush in there.

    Voodoo Lord naturally saw Faceless Lord¡¯s actions from a distance and felt that her move was a bit foolhardy. However, once you have reached S-tier, you should already be capable of doing what you want!

    Even if these people found Faceless Lord, they would not be able to catch up!

    However, at this moment, a streak of darkness streaked through the air, approaching faster than the speed of Faceless Lord and was directly racing across her face.

    Voodoo Lord¡¯s eyes widened.

    He recognized this martial art.

    It was called Rampage Influx. When He Tianxing was killed, this was the move that his attacker had used.

    Now, it seemed like the person had gotten used to using it.

    The two figures instantly approached each other in the air.

    Qin Feng used an asssination technique, and Faceless Lord followed suit. These two looked to be at about the same speed but Faceless Lord believed that she was far more dangerous than her opponent.

    Qin Feng sneered, taking out his dagger and shing forward.

    Faceless Lord stared back with contempt and with a twist of her body, she produced a dagger in her hand to sh with the other.

    She had already seen it in her mind. The moment her and Qin Feng¡¯s daggers shed together, she would use the momentum of the blow to shift in another direction. Nobody would be able to stop her.

 Chapter 963 - Just Like This Person

    <h4>Chapter 963: Just Like This Person</h4>

    However, Faceless Lord could not sense Qin Feng¡¯s strength. He had concealed his aura and Faceless Lord only thought that this person was just an A-tier who had mastered an S-tier movement skill.

    But, that was all wrong.

    Not only Qin Feng¡¯s strength, the angle from which the dagger was attacking from was also wrong.

    The dagger shed with light and appeared in another location.

    Ignoring the constraints of space, the de shifted position in the blink of an eye.

    Pfft!

    There was the sound of fabric being cut, a very subtle noise.

    The two passed each other, Qin Feng had already started to descend from the sky toward the ground, but Faceless Lord moved like a kite with a broken wire. When the body fell on the ground, the cloak wrapped around it fell away, revealing that the body had been separated into two parts!

    Thud!

    The body hit the ground with a dull thump before arge amount of blood sprayed out. The head of this masked person rolled over to Qin Feng¡¯s feet.

    His hand filled with internal force, a wave of his hand destroyed Faceless Lord¡¯s mask and revealed the face under it.

    The face was a little contorted, the eyelids half closed, with disbelief and pain. Carefully inspecting the face, it was some ordinary looking woman and Qin Feng did not recognize it.

    It was without question that this person was an S-tier ancient warrior.

    He went over to Faceless Lord¡¯s body and quietly activated the Asteroid Assimtion move. The internal force starglobe in the other¡¯s body copsed and internal force rolled out to join Qin Feng¡¯s dantian, making his nine frozen stars grow even stronger.

    After that, he took away the body¡¯s spatial rune equipment and coldly said, ¡°Picked clean, these possessions will be sent to the auction house. The corpse will be hung at the bridge!¡±

    This was the Dark Citadel¡¯s old rule, in the event of such disturbances, the final oue was the same.

    The few B-tiers present did not expect a strong person to show up and help out, immediately killing the person that had vaulted over the toll booth. Although it was just a brief nce, they assumed that the person that tried to rush through was probably just some A-tier that was ahead of the curve.

    Of course, they would not have even imagined it was an S-tier. Otherwise, if that person had been killed in an instant, then what kind of strength was that ck-d figure in front of them?

    The end result was just shocking.

    The people who were manning the bridge¡¯s checkpoint rejoiced in their hearts when the person that suddenly appeared was not their enemy.

    ¡°Yes, milord!¡±

    Although Qin Feng¡¯s identity was a mystery, the tone he used was very much like a Dark Citadel native. The B-tier aptitude users present bowed their heads and began to deal with the body. On the bridge, the originally shimmering aptitude users all quieted down, not daring to make any rash moves.

    Qin Feng stood at the checkpoint. Even with the mask concealing his face, when his perception swept out it sent chills down people¡¯s spines and they all began to lower their heads in fear of provoking him.

    He let out a frostyugh, saying, ¡°Voodoo Lord approaches so mboyantly, why did you not inform me earlier so I could have shown you some hospitality!¡±

    He locked onto Voodoo Lord. There was this feeling, that no matter where Voodoo Lord goes, he would be found and there was nowhere to hide.

    At this time, Shao Tai, who was next to him, was extremely frightened. He felt incredibly stupid for havinge here.

    Was the person that could kill He Tianxing really that weak?

    With how strong Faceless Lord was, she died in an instant! There was also this man¡¯s attitude, he treated killing an S-tier like it was any other task, with no reaction whatsoever.

    That was why everyone thought that the person who died was just an A-tier!

    Now that such a person was staring at Voodoo Lord, Shao Tai wanted to turn around and leave, as if indicating that he was not with Voodoo Lord!

    ¡°Oh, right, there¡¯s someone else with you. Did youe to my Dusk Dragon Auction to bid? Wee!¡±

    As Qin Feng¡¯s perception swept through the crowd, it caused people to slowly move out of the way. The only ones that did not move were Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai, revealing their position.

    The others would soon realize that these two¡¯s power level was S-tier.

    At this point, everyone was even more pressed to not say anything.

    ¡°Heheh, looks like the ck Alps Overlord has gotten stronger. Something worth celebrating, truly. We¡¯re not here to bother anyone, after all, the Dusk Dragon Auction does not ask for identification. When you go to someone¡¯s city, you respect their rules, no time for shenanigans!¡±

    Voodoo Lord quickly responded via consciousness, which was considered as responding to Qin Feng¡¯s earlier guess.

    Qin Feng let out a chillingugh again, saying, ¡°You say that, but what¡¯s all this about then? Wasn¡¯t that person here with you people earlier?¡±

    After saying this, the surrounding people exploded with chatter.

    ¡°Voodoo Lord, isn¡¯t that an S-tier powerhouse?¡±

    ¡°The person that was with him, could it be that other guy just now? The person was S-tier too?¡±

    ¡°Who is that person then? He actually killed an S-tier just like that, I can¡¯t even begin to imagine his power!¡±

    Voodoo Lord was sweating all over, he did not know how to exin himself.

    At this moment, Shao Tai had an idea and he said, ¡°Faceless Lord had always been like this. These assassin types, always in a rush. Unexpectedly, she broke one of the ck Alps Overlord¡¯s rules and paid the ultimate price. We came because the ck Alps Overlord suddenly appeared and hasn¡¯t joined the Dark Coalition. I heard that the Overlord is very powerful in terms of the dark ability, so I invite you to the realm of Bahamut!¡±

    Shao Tai used Huaxia¡¯snguage and did not use consciousness to convey his message. Qin Feng nced at that person, and through the mask he could not see his face.

    ¡°And you are?¡±

    ¡°The Boat King of Munli Sea, Shao Tai!¡±

    This man¡¯s name carried a vast reputation. He was considered as the Dark Coalition¡¯srgest force along the coasts, the precursor to all piracy.

    There was another outburst in the crowd. Some people secretly began to back away, some were terrified. In fact, these people were actually the Human Alliance members in disguise.

    Qin Feng did not expect that Voodoo Lord would bring someone like this with him.

    When he shifted his nce to Voodoo Lord, Voodoo Lord broke out in a sweat again.

    ¡°So it¡¯s Boat King Shao, my bad, my bad!¡±

    Qin Feng said as his mind quickly churned.

    That was because this Bahamut ce that Shao Tai mentioned was exactly the realm that the Skeletal Fiend mentioned.

    The realm had been upied by the Dark Coalition members for a very long time. If someone wanted to go there, it was very likely they would sh with the Dark Coalition.

    If you were to go as a member of the Dark Coalition, you could avoid all that fuss.

    Of course, if there was going to be some conflict with these viins in the future, Qin Feng would not be worried.

    With that in mind, Qin Feng suddenly became interested.

    ¡°Since it¡¯s to discuss matters, then pleasee inside!¡± He said with an invitational gesture. At this time Fateless and Fire Phoenix had already heard the news and arrived. After Qin Feng invited them in, those two quickly opened the hovercar¡¯s door to greet Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai.

    However, Fateless stayed back and looked at the newly hung corpse.

    Faceless Lord, an S-tier assassin, was just killed by the ck Alps Overlord.

    He looked at the countless gawking people, knowing that the news today would spread its wings and soar all over the world.

    ¡°The Dark Citadel has had a change of owners, the new city duke is the ck Alps Overlord. Anyone who thinks otherwise will end up just like this person!¡±

    Fateless then pointed to Faceless Lord¡¯s body!

 Chapter 964 - The Train to Bahamut

    <h4>Chapter 964: The Train to Bahamut</h4>

    The aptitude users looked at the corpse that had been strung up, feeling terrified.

    ¡°Faceless Lord. They¡¯re the top assassin on the assassin! I heard that they achieved S-tier 10 years ago and then disappeared without a trace!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! That¡¯s gotta be them!¡±

    ¡°And just like that, they were killed! Then, just how strong is this new ck Alps Overlord?!¡±

    For a moment, these people thought of an SS-tier aptitude user and only felt more terrified!

    ¡°If the ck Alps Overlord has taken over the city, what about He Tianxing? Him too?¡±

    News blew up one after another, making these aptitude users extremely surprised.

    Especially the members of the Human Alliance. They came with masks on their faces and worry in their hearts, only to find that the Dark Citadel had changed ownership. Not only that, the new aptitude user that took over might be of SS-tier, how could they be at ease?

    Would this person start setting their sights innd?

    Would this set off another war between the Dark Coalition and the Human Alliance?

    This kind of thing was only going to give them groundless fears, as such they transferred the news to the Human Alliance to let the people in Dragon Capital analyze this.

    In the Dark Citadel, Qin Feng invited Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai to stroll around, but the remaining two people did not really seem into it.

    They had been thinking about the future before, but now they felt as if that was just some lofty daydream. With the ck Alps Overlord in the Dark Citadel, it was impossible to profit from here in the future!

    Qin Feng noticed the expressions of the two and mentally smirked before saying, ¡°It seems that the two of you have no interest in the Dark Citadel, so let¡¯s talk about something interesting then! I just recently came, to be honest, I¡¯m a rogue agent and not considered a member of the Dark Coalition. Of course, I haven¡¯t joined the Human Alliance for the time being and since you Dark Coalition people invited me over first, I decided that I might as well have a look around!¡±

    Rogue agents, or neutrals, did not belong to the Human Alliance and did not have any thoughts of officially joining the Human Alliance. They wandered all over the world, maybe doing tasks in the Human Alliance territory one day; dodging paperwork; and then on the next day run along with the Dark Coalition, buddying up with the criminals.

    It made sense for Qin Feng to use this identity as a cover.

    At this time, Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai felt that Qin Feng gave off the impression of someone enigmatic and impossible to predict. They had no doubts about what he said and took it at face value.

    If such a powerful being was within the Human Alliance, they would have known about it!

    ¡°Haha, this is a great honor. The Dark Coalition doesn¡¯t have many constraints and there are many other races. You can join whenever you wish. If the Overlord has nothing to do, then perhaps you cane with us!¡±

    Qin Feng did not n to leave immediately. ¡°What do you mean I have nothing to do? Doesn¡¯t the Dusk Dragon Auction need me to be the host? Or else any Tom, Dick or Harry or whatever random nuisance would show up to cause trouble. I¡¯m not a city duke who just lets people walk all over me!¡±

    Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai who had originallye to cause trouble had cold sweat trickle down their backs. They were mildly angered about being regarded as a ¡®random nuisance¡¯, but they knew that this was also his method of knocking a warning into them.

    Qin Feng smirked to himself when he saw the two¡¯s expressions, but on the surface he remained as calm as could be.

    ¡°We can make an appointment again after a week. It¡¯s better if you two stick around to enjoy the scenery, I¡¯d rmend the beach. The scenery there is great. There¡¯s also the Dusk Dragon Auction where there are plenty of great items you can purchase!¡±

    Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai really wanted to leave, but also thought that maybe the reason Qin Feng invited them to stay was to deliberately keep tabs on them.

    At that moment, they did not dare refute Qin Feng¡¯s words and agreed to remain.

    Qin Feng was not bothered about them after that. He was going to take this week to rest. Meanwhile during the auction, plenty of resources were sold. From the ones taken from the hunts on Dragon Ind and the ultra beast materials obtained during the Amazon Alliance incident. They were auctioned off and exchanged for new resources to supply Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s cultivation.

    Especially Bai Li, who had be an S-tier beast deity. If she wanted to develop further, it would be a huge investment!

    The Dusk Dragon Auction went off without a hitch, and during this time, Qin Feng noticed that about ten S-tiers hade over. This was due to the identity of the ¡®ck Alps Overlord¡¯. After the rumors spread out, many people thought that he was an SS-tier aptitude user.

    Such a strong person must have valuable things. As such, the S-tiers came one after another and they did note in vain. They all left with something they wanted.

    After that, many aptitude users went to the Ancient Tree Ind. After these people left, they would not return for another month and he did not need to worry.

    A weekter, Qin Feng picked up the beast-shaped Bai Li and hid her under his cloak before meeting with Voodoo Lord.

    It was necessary to bring Bai Li over. She could travel through any realm and if there was something wrong, they would also have a way out.

    ¡°This time we must first go to a realm connected to the Bahamut continent via a spatial rift. That is the Dark Coalition¡¯s temporary stronghold!¡±

    As Shao Tai exined the situation, Qin Feng listened, and also discovered the difference between the Human Alliance and the Dark Coalition.

    In the Human Alliance, blood was needed to make the badges and they were very strict about identity verification. Meanwhile the Dark Coalition was different, having very little emphasis on that.

    It was far more chaotic, and contained many different species. Among them were the Wraith Devil species, the Dragon-borne species and others that treated humanity like food.

    Fortunately, Earth¡¯s Alliances, whether it be the Human Alliance or Dark Coalition, have both agreed to not disclose information about their realm in order to protect it from harm. At the same time, they were not worried about these beingsing over and invading.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go then!¡±

    Shao Tai and Voodoo Lord smiled and nodded, but they were still extremely wary. The three stepped through a spatial passage and in the next moment, they were in another realm.

    The surrounding scenery came into view. In an instant Qin Feng felt as if he had stepped foot on the Floating City. He was surrounded by extremely advanced machinery, high rise buildings with shing advertisements and all. When he spread out his consciousness to check, he realized that this indeed was a Floating City.

    He did not expect this realm to have such advanced technology as well.

    Qin Feng took out themunicator provided by Voodoo Lord, and the moment he put it on, it was already connected to the regional channel which was broadcasting a message.

    Beep beep. Announcement. Ship D214 will be jumping in half an hour to a high danger zone, the Bahamut realm, please board as soon as possible!

    This news did not sound anything like exploring a new and dangerous realm. It sounded more like your standard announcement for boarding a train.

    Who would have thought that there would be such convenient transportation to a realm originally described to be dangerous by the Skeletal Fiend.

    ¡°Hah, we¡¯re right on time. There just so happens to be a ship. Come on, let¡¯s go!¡± Voodoo Lord said quickly with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

    Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, there was something slightly fishy about it but he did not look too much into it. Different situations called for different actions!

 Chapter 965 - Spatial Station

    <h4>Chapter 965: Spatial Station</h4>

    The three people rushed to the port, and Qin Feng saw the flying ship.

    Based on the technology that he had grown familiar with, the technology of that ship wasparable to the top technology of the Perished Lands and had even surpassed the technology of the Floating City.

    Qin Feng got on the ship and found that although they were headed to an extremely dangerous area, there were still a lot of people.

    Perhaps, there was something in the Bahamut realm that had these people¡¯s interests.

    The cost to board the ship was not expensive either, only a cubic meter of power credits was enough. Qin Feng paid the amount and boarded the ship with the rest.

    Half an hourter, the ship took off and soared into the air before initiating a spatial jump. As it shuttled through space, the scenery behind the windows immediately changed.

    It was a sky full of stars, just like the dark sky of the Perished Lands, filled with violent, unbridled energy.

    The ship blocked off this energy as it flew through the void. No matter how far someone looked, there would be nothing but the starry sky that dragged on forever. Eventually, andmass floating in this starry sky appeared within their line of sight.

    ¡°Look, it¡¯s Bahamut!¡± Shao Tai said.

    Qin Feng was naturallypelled to look.

    Due to how the ship isted energy, he could not feel what was going on over at the continent. All he saw was a pitch ck aura of death.

    ¡°It seems to have swelled a bit since thest time!¡± Voodoo Lord said before chuckling, ¡°That should be fine, that just means it¡¯s not that dangerous!¡±

    Qin Feng gave the continent a closer look. When they were further away, the outline of the continent looked like a giant lizard that existed on the Earth realm. It reminded him of a giant Western dragon.

    It far surpassed the size of any dragon he had seen. This was the corpse of a powerful creature, even in death it exuded a massive amount of runes and energy. It continued to attract matter, adding onto its size and getting bigger and bigger.

    Since he could not perceive it, he could only look at things from how it seemed and was not able to identify this specific energy.

    The ship did notnd directly on Bahamut, instead itnded on a Floating City. This spatial station was almost the same as his Floating City, it had an energy shield over it that allowed people to survive here.

    However, due to how cosmic energy was, the people who came here must have had the strength to reach S-tier. As for the service staff, they were naturally all machines.

    Qin Feng stepped off the ship and got onto the space station.

    ¡°I¡¯ll call my friends in a bit, they¡¯ll take us to the continent and there¡¯s a possibility that you¡¯d have to pay some resources for it!¡± Shao Hai said with a smile.

    Qin Feng did not understand this ce, but he knew enough that the kind of people Shao Tai¡¯s inviting probably would not mean well.

    But with Bai Li here, there would not be a problem.

    ¡°I¡¯ll be looking around on my own, call me when you need me!¡± Qin Feng said before turning to walk away.

    Voodoo Lord wanted to stop him but could not find an excuse, besides, if Qin Feng were to get more guarded against them then things might be impossible to pull off.

    Once Qin Feng had left, Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai could not stop the wide smiles on their faces.

    ¡°Is this going to work? Wouldn¡¯t this be too dangerous?¡± Voodoo Lord asked.

    Shao Tai¡¯s face shifted to a darker expression, but he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Even if it¡¯s dangerous, it has to be done. The ck Alps Overlord must be eliminated, he¡¯s not an idiot. He knows that we went to the Dark Citadel to scout out the city¡¯s location. Even if he doesn¡¯t show his true colors around us, if we let him grow, he¡¯ll threaten us in the future! It¡¯s better to get it right once and for all!¡±

    Voodoo Lord also thought the same. Most importantly, he had seen Qin Feng kill He Tianxing before, and after a few months since that encounter it was revealed that his strength was growing too quickly. An S-tier assassin died after just one sh and that sent chills down Voodoo Lord¡¯s spine.

    This also led to Voodoo Lord wanting to kill Qin Feng even more.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go then!¡±

    The two went off to find the person that Shao Tai was looking for while Qin Feng strolled around the spatial station.

    In fact, there were not many humans, but there were a lot of other species. Even with the number of humans around, they had all kinds ofnguages, so the only way tomunicate would be through consciousness.

    Qin Feng naturally could not collect information by eavesdropping, but this was obviously not a problem.

    He found a resting area, simr to a bar, and sat down.

    Soon he found a target.

    It was a pale-faced human, it seemed like he had his vitality sapped from him. He must have gotten injured.

    Qin Feng ordered two sses of wine and brought it in front of the man.

    ¡°Please, have a drink!¡± He said via his consciousness.

    The man had a sullen expression and upon seeing the ck-masked, dark-armored Qin Feng, his face got even fouler, filled with vignce.

    ¡°No need, go away!¡± The man¡¯s consciousness sted out with a warning that was filled with rage.

    ¡°Perhaps you need some of these!¡± Qin Feng took out a C-tier crystal core of a Gorefiend and dropped it into the wine. Gorefiends were full of vitality, perfect for treating injuries like what the man had.

    The man saw the Gorefiend¡¯s crystal core and felt the energy wafting from it. A sudden burst of light seemed to shine from his eyes, this was exactly what he needed right now.

    He raised a hand and reached for the ss. ¡°Then, what do you want?¡±

    ¡°Some news should be enough, of course, the more you say, the more I will provide!¡±

    Qin Feng lifted up a hand, revealing more of the Gorefiend crystal cores he had on him.

    ¡°Fine by me!¡±

    Since it was just some news, there was nothing to hide. It would only cost a moment of consciousness transmission and the man quickly chatted up Qin Feng.

    The spatial station was built in space because the people of the Dark Coalition could not live on Bahamut for a very long time.

    The Immortal Bahamut was a member of the Abyssal Dragon race, its death energy enveloped the entirend and people who went there would have their vitality sapped away at every moment.

    However, this energy had other uses.

    When Bahamut just died, the matter attracted by the energy and runes formed into the continent and continued to gain mass.

    At the same time, new mineral veins were also formed. The head of the giant dragon was considered to be the North part of thend, and nobody could set foot there. They could only crawl to the South part, the dragon¡¯s tail, to excavate the mineral deposits there.

    Among these minerals, the Annihtilite was an S-tier material that when integrated into weapons could give it properties of death that caused anyone hit by the weapon to start rotting away and its effectiveness was terrifying.

    Dark Sacred Stones would also sporadically appear on the surface but it was not as fast as just directly trying to obtain the Immortal¡¯s crystal core.

    This man had tried to set foot on the Northern part of Bahamut and ended up failing, receiving his injury.

    Moreover, traveling from the spatial station to the continent required the person to pass through the starry void. Extremely powerful S-tiers could withstand it, but it was far more efficient to conserve energy and go as a group, setting up a shield as they went.

    Or, if one had special items, they could step onto thend.

    This news was very important to Qin Feng, but after hearing all of it he did notpletely believe it. So after he gave the man a B-tier Gorefiend crystal core, he went on to question two more people for confirmation.

 Chapter 966 - Arriving at the Bahamut Continent

    <h4>Chapter 966: Arriving at the Bahamut Continent</h4>

    The findings corresponded with each other, and Qin Feng had even obtained additional intelligence.

    Not many were able to enter into the Bahamut continent, there were only eight to nine of them. Without exception, all of them were SS-tier powerful figures.

    With such capabilities, none of them were easy targets to be trifled with.

    Beep beep beep!

    Qin Feng was alerted by his newmunicator, only Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai knew about it.

    Qin Feng took a nce and confirmed it was exactly them.

    ¡°ck Alp Overlord, we have gathered the right person. You have to be here; we will be departing in half an hour!¡±

    ¡°Hmm, I¡¯ll be there right away!¡± Qin Feng identified the location that was transmitted to him and left the bar.

    Although there was energy istion within the spatial station, the internals were not too sturdy and battles were prohibited. If such rules were set by ordinary people, it would definitely not restrict any of the Dark Coalition members. However, it was an SS-tier aptitude user who hadid out the rule. The others were also reluctant to behave like a wanton there.

    Qin Feng arrived at the designated spot, and there were already nine people there.

    Without using his senses, Qin Feng already felt the powerful aura from one of them. It had definitely surpassed the level of an SS-tier aptitude user.

    Simr to Voodoo Lord, everyone else were also S-tiers. They varied in capabilities and tribe origins.

    ¡°Do you know the rules?¡± The SS-tier powerful figure asked.

    Qin Feng obviously did not know about the rules, and he looked at Voodoo Lord.

    Voodoo Lord immediately exined, ¡°This is Lord Zolls, he will be bringing us to the continent with a powerful ultra beast, but at a cost!¡±

    Qin Feng was surprised and secretly sneered.

    Zolls was absolutely capable of bringing people to the continent. However, it was obviously an impossible and risky favor to ask for.

    Zolls was not a human, and he originated from a tribe that was irreconcbly conflicting with the humans.

    He was a Wraith Devil.

    Because of that, Zolls had extremely powerful consciousness and he was capable of controlling dark runes. With the contract he had with an S-tier spatial beast, he was able to bring people to the continent.

    However, Zolls was a vampire that demanded daily fees from his passengers that he brought along. They were allowed to pay by exchanging their mining produce from excavations. If his passengers were to earn more, he would purposely stay there longer to drain out their wealth. It was even possible for him to take advantage of the others in a dog-eat-dog manner.

    Obviously, he was a person with a bad reputation!

    Qin Feng finally knew what Voodoo Lord had in mind to set him up for trouble!

    ¡°How much?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°An A-tier beast deity core!¡± Voodoo Lord answered.

    Although it would not be too much hassle for an S-tier aptitude user to take care of an A-tier beast deity, it was very hard to get one. Any S-tier would not casually give out such a rare item.

    However, among those who dared to be in the Bahamut realm, did any of them seem to be ordinary aptitude users? They were undoubtedly all highly skilled elites thatcked no courage in them, not to mention their ultimate secret skills that they had up their sleeves.

    ¡°Not much!¡± Qin Feng took out an A-tier beast deity core from his spatial rune equipment and passed it to Zolls.

    ¡°Not bad, everyone is already here,e in!¡± Zolls transmitted with his consciousness while raising his hand. The space around them twisted while a whale-like creature jumped out from the space.

    It was a spatial beast, a Shuttle Whale.

    Such creatures would only appear in groups, but they were rare and it was difficult to get them under control.

    The Shuttle Whale opened its mouth to allow everyone in. It was like entering into a house.

    Pop!

    The Shuttle Whale closed its mouth, but the view on the outside was still visible through gaps between its teeth. Soon, they had entered dimensional space.

    It took a leap and instantly flew out from the perimeters of the spatial station.

    Within the dimensional space, none of them could feel the horrifying energy from the universe. But they could see that they were closing in on the Bahamut continent. The wild energy became even more violent, and horrifying meteorites were falling.

    All of those were space objects and matter that were attracted by the Immortal.

    Without the Shuttle Whale, they would have to pay for a much bigger price to set foot on the Bahamut continent.

    Also, consciousness from the death of the Immortal still remained. The dead Bahamut did not want any desecration toward its dead body. Hence, spatial runes were very stable and disallowed any ordinary spatial waymark to activate spatial rifts. Therefore, waymarks recorded on spatial stones were totally useless there.

    Of course, it was a different scenario for spatial beasts. Regardless of whether it was the Shuttle Whale or a nine-tailed fox like Bai Li, they were able to open up the spatial passage.

    Travelling under extreme speed, the Shuttle Whale manoeuvred across the dimensional realm and got closer to the Bahamut continent. The vision of the passengers was blocked by the continent. They could no longer see the space sky, only the widespreadnd was visible.

    Uponnding, they became members of thend and were no longer outsiders.

    The Shuttle Whalended on the ground. Upon exiting from the dimensional realm, everyone immediately regained their senses.

    They were immediately surrounded by the vast energy between heaven and earth. Every breath that they took in was filled with intense energy.

    Thend surface was more powerful than the Aether Realm.

    However, the energy sources were causing difort. It was like submerging in water that had an overwhelming stench. An unknown number of dark energies with decaying effects was merging into their body.

    It was dark rune energy.

    Even dark ability users would not be able to cope with such decay, unless they were to absorb dark runes into their bodies.

    But the absorption speed might not be as fast as the speed of decay.

    Zolls did not care as his physical body did not belong to him. When it had decayed, he could just look for the next dead body to protect his soul.

    ¡°Here it is. Same rules, I will be right here every night to collect the fees. Those who can¡¯t pay, you will be on your own!¡±

    Zollsughed grimly and seemed to be hoping for them to fail in paying the fees.

    Of course, Zolls would most probably not give up easily to sustain the business. To him, those S-tier aptitude users were justmbs and their wools were as useful as ship tickets. It was definitely more profitable to recycle their usage, instead of killing them for a small amount of meat.

    However, he would also have some side hustle.

    Zolls gave Qin Feng a vengeful look without any disguise. To him, Qin Feng was already a scapegoat that was ready to be ughtered!

    The nine others had gone through the giant mouth of the Shuttle Whale. They were secretly observing the others before selecting their own direction and headed in different ways.

    ¡°ck Alp Overlord, let¡¯s work together?¡± Shao Tai offered.

    Qin Feng sneered and answered, ¡°Boat King Shao, thank you for your courtesy in bringing me here. I¡¯ll take it as a favor that I owe you. But I am also sparing your life for your unwee presence. It is also a way for me to return the favor of yours and we don¡¯t owe each other anymore!¡±

    Shao Tai was stunned. Qin Feng was speaking the truth as he had indeed used the route to the Bahamut continent as a leverage so that Qin Feng would gracefully spare his life. However, Shao Tai was ashamed to hear it in such a direct way.

 Chapter 967 - Aerolite

    <h4>Chapter 967: Aerolite</h4>

    Qin Feng noticed Shao Tai¡¯s expression and warned again, ¡°I hope that from now on all of you will not offend me again, this is thest chance!¡±

    Qin Feng felt that Shao Tai and the others might still be useful at some point. After all, he was not an actual member of the Dark Coalition. It was too much of a hassle for him to gather intelligence by himself, it would be a good idea to train some men for himself. But he would have to observe the loyalty of Shao Tai and Voodoo Lord.

    It was Qin Feng¡¯sst warning. If both of them were still unwilling to submit to him, he would have to kill them both.

    Qin Feng turned around and left toward the north direction.

    Once he was no longer visible to Shao Tai and the others, Qin Feng took off his cape. Xiao Bai jumped down from Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder and transformed into her human form.

    She frowned a little, as she obviously did not like the environment there.

    ¡°This continent is really powerful, I would get hurt if I were to stay here. I¡¯ll enter into the dimensional realm and follow you instead!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Bai Li faded into shadows and became semi-translucent, and she was even undetectable by senses. Of course, she was also unable tomunicate with Qin Feng. But with the contract between them, it was not a problem at all.

    Energy from the surroundings was constantly flowing into Qin Feng¡¯s body while bringing dark runes along. It was impossible for Qin Feng to activate his internal force shield to resist it. However, those runes were not harmful to Qin Feng at all.

    His dark starglobe within the consciousness realm was slowly spinning. Although it was spinning slightly faster than normal, it would not achieve its maximum speed. Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability gradually absorbed the runes that had entered his body and slowly started growing.

    Qin Feng expanded his consciousness into the surroundings. Different from the Aether Realm, there were no restrictions in consciousness scouting, but the excessively violent energy would still neutralize consciousness.

    However, it cost nothing for Qin Feng as his Absorption Abilitypensated for all those losses.

    ¡°Seems like my situation is much better than the others!¡±

    Qin Feng began to speed up.

    ording to the Skeletal Fiend, he did not find his Hell Stone from the northern region of the Bahamut continent. It was at a location from about one quarter of the entire continent, not even close to the central region. But the mining resources were already in abundance.

    However, he could no longer move forward with his current capability. Not because of the erosive dark runes, but it was because...

    ¡°Hehehehehe...¡±

    A sinisterugh was heard from behind Qin Feng, and Qin Feng reacted instantly at high speed.

    ¡°Berserk Air Prance!¡±

    All of a sudden, Qin Feng sprinted across like a shooting star and looked back.

    Without noticing when, not even detected by consciousness and senses, a spooky dark shadow had appeared behind Qin Feng.

    The capability of the dark shadow was around S-tier.

    ¡°Death Shadow!¡±

    It was one of the major threats on the Bahamut Continent.

    Death Shadows were a unique energy body that was perhaps rted to the remaining consciousness left by Bahamut. It would attack living creatures and remain undetected by any method.

    It was a major threat toward the S-tiers.

    ¡°re of Death!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness exploded while mes gathered on his palm. Followed by the most violent terraform explosion that sted out mes from the centre of the earth while shrouding around the Death Shadow.

    A miserable shriek was heard from the Death Shadow as its body was shaved into half. But its attack speed did not change at all, it immediately reacted with another wild attack and pounced toward Qin Feng¡¯s neck for a bite.

    Qin Feng dodged it with a sly move while drawing out a dagger from his waist.

    All of a sudden, glowing internal energy burst into two lines of attacks,bining blizzard and spatial slicing force in it. The Death Shadow was then sliced into three parts.

    But in the next moment, the shadows then merged back into one and pounced forward for another kill.

    Every Death Shadow was like an assassin that would be reborn limitlessly, and like a sticky entanglement that could never be loosened.

    Qin Feng¡¯s ability exploded again.

    ¡°Cold Whisper of Death!¡±

    All of a sudden, the shadow was frozen into a unique ice sculpture.

    Qin Feng had only heard about the Death Shadow and that was his first encounter. Its movements were untraceable and extremely quick, he could barely examine the look of it earlier.

    Now that the Death Shadow had been frozen, Qin Feng certainly had his chance to do so.

    ¡°Surprisingly, this thing is simr to Phantom Shift!¡±

    Under Qin Feng¡¯s control, Phantom Shift could be activated and formed into a countless number of dark shadows, provided it was supported with sufficient internal energy and runes. Therefore, it was how the Death Shadow performed, and it was even more bizarre.

    It was not urate to say that Qin Feng had frozen a creature. Actually, it was energy that he had frozen.

    ¡°Since this is just energy, why can¡¯t I just absorb it?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability exploded and was forced onto the ice sculpture as it began to absorb energy from within.

    A flow of energy instantly merged into Qin Feng¡¯s body, their energy was tenfold more intense than the energy that lingered in the air. His consciousness was umting fast.

    Being an A6-tier, arge amount of energy was required to fuel Qin Feng¡¯s rapid consciousness umtion.

    The Death Shadow was trapped within the monster-shaped ice sculpture of about two meters tall. Surprisingly, it had be smaller along with Qin Feng¡¯s absorption.

    Actually, Death Shadows were not really indestructible. With constant killing to scalp off its energy, it would then disintegrate. For other aptitude users, all they needed to do was to just run as the Death Shadows would just disappear after some distance of running.

    However, they were like pointy arrows that were hung above their heads. Nobody would know when the Death Shadows would return and appear again.

    Surprisingly, Qin Feng became interested in them and he hoped to encounter more Death Shadows.

    ¡°The information I got earlier was that there should not berge crowd gatherings, or else it will attract a lot of Death Shadows. I should have agreed with Shao Tai earlier!¡±

    Qin Feng chuckled as he joked to himself. He was not interested to continue with the sham gestures of politeness with Shao Tai and Voodoo Lord.

    It was at that moment when Qin Feng felt a sudden sense of threat. He immediately raised his head and saw a sparkling light drawing across the sky.

    It was an aerolite!

    And it was an extremely huge one.

    The Bahamut continent was in the midst of formation and its own energy was conflicting with violent energy sources from outer space. Such aerolites were unstoppable, and they were required exactly for the umtion and constant formation of the continent.

    The aerolite got closer to the surface of the ground, it then arced across the sky while being quickly broken down into pieces by the energy from Bahamut.

    Boom!

    In mid-air, the aerolite had already shattered into countless pieces and Qin Feng¡¯s expression immediately changed.

    ¡°Dawnstar!¡±

    The inner part of the aerolite was unexpectedly embedded with a dawnstar that was approximately one meter in diameter. It was absolutely impossible to have such a precious encounter at the Blue Star Realm.

    Of course, such an item would be a rare find in any realm.

    Boom boom boom!

    The aerolite mmed into the ground. The massive quakes had even produced rifts, while massive amounts of energy spread across like ripples that expanded in different intensities.

    Qin Feng¡¯s movement speed spiked instantly, and he was unbothered by the earth that was still quaking.

    He was not too far from thending spot of the aerolite. Those who had the closest proximity to the target would definitely be the first to benefit, and the dawnstar was a must have for him!

 Chapter 968 - Square Up

    <h4>Chapter 968: Square Up</h4>

    Qin Feng ran wild on the ground in random directions as energy surged within his body. The harsh environment that was unbearable for others was nothing to him.

    Soon, Qin Feng saw the aerolite that had dropped down and smashed a giant pit in the ground. Because of the twisted explosion earlier, the aerolite was shattered into more than ten pieces. The ground was filled with pot-holes, just like the surface of the moon.

    Due to the heat produced by energy friction, the aerolite was still transmitting high temperature to the surroundings. But the dawnstar embedded within was still clearly visible from the outside.

    Qin Feng jumped into the pit and quickly collected it.

    At that moment, another intense presence channelled through, and someone else had arrived!

    Qin Feng nced around and noticed that it was not another human but an Orc.

    The Orcs also originated from the Wisdom Tribe and their transformation was fullypleted. If it was not because of his ears on both sides that looked like a pair of upright wolf¡¯s ears and the tail that extended from behind, perhaps many would just think that he was just an ugly looking man with buck teeth.

    The Orc instantly hopped over when he noticed that Qin Feng was only slightly below two meters and thought that he was an easy target to bully.

    ¡°Get lost!!!¡±

    The Orc growled via his consciousness while striking his sharpened ws toward Qin Feng.

    Although he was warning Qin Feng to get away, he was actually trying to kill him.

    But Qin Feng¡¯s reaction was faster.

    Right after the Orc crossed the edge of the pit, Qin Feng had already shifted.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    Upon activating it, Qin Feng felt that his Phantom Shift had be handier. Indeed, it was the best ce to demonstrate dark shadows.

    Phantom Shift was released and the Orc could barely detect Qin Feng¡¯s movements, he was horrified by it. Knowing that it was on the Bahamut continent, who would not be terrified by the spooky Death Shadows?

    The Orc reached out to a ne on his neck, a giant golden femur bone then appeared on his hand.

    Judging by its aura, it was certainly not any ordinary bone. Surprisingly, the bone was from an S-tier beast deity embedded with massive power.

    The Orc swayed the golden femur bone in horizontal movements, aimed toward the spirit shadow before him and instantly shattered it into pieces.

    It was a great relief for the Orc to know that it was so easily destructible, and knowing that it was just a trick summoned by Qin Feng.

    The Orc immediately turned around and collided with two striking daggers.

    He had located Qin Feng!

    ¡°Die!¡±

    The Orc waved the bone again and pressed downward. From his point of view, his opponent was only using two tiny daggers. It was like striking a stone with an egg.

    But he had never expected that both of Qin Feng¡¯s daggers were also made from S-tier beast deity materials, and they would not break easily. Also, Qin Feng¡¯s energy output was extremely horrifying. Despite being an S-tier and inheriting the bloodline of the Lycanthrope, the Orc might still not win against Qin Feng.

    Boom!

    Both of them collided with each other. The Orc was then struck by an unexpected energy surge that forced him to take a step back.

    ¡°Right now!¡± Qin Feng struck again with his daggers that were transformed into bizarre shapes. Spatial restriction was disregarded and the strike had immediately arrived before the skull of the Orc Lycan.

    The Orc Lycan was shocked with his eyes wide open. Appalled by the strike, he immediately turned his head around.

    Swoosh!

    Despite dodging the deadly strike, the Orc Lycan had still lost one of his ears to Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    Perhaps it was the first injury that the Orc Lycan has had since he had ranked up into an S-tier.

    But Qin Feng also noticed that the senses and capabilities of the Orc Lycan were equally threatening. At least, he had the capability of an S-tier beast king and it was much stronger whenpared to Faceless Lord whom he had killed.

    Therefore, if Bai Li were to stay out of the battle, it would be quite a hassle to take him down.

    At the same time, the presence of another five S-tier aptitude users were closing in.

    It was not a good idea to continue with the sticky situation and the gains would not make up for the losses.

    Qin Feng red at the Orc Lycan, and the other party gave a vicious warning, ¡°Human, I will crush your body into pieces, just you wait!¡±

    ¡°Anytime!¡±

    Qin Feng reached a mutual agreement with the Orc Lycan before they rushed toward different locations and started locating dawnstars on the ground.

    However, Qin Feng immediately realized that the number of dawnstars was fewer than he had imagined. He immediately reminded himself andmunicated with Bai Li via their soul contract.

    ¡°Did you take up those items earlier?¡±

    ¡°Of course, continue to confront the silly guy, let me grab more of these!¡±

    ¡°We are out of time!¡±

    The remaining five aptitude users had arrived.

    Without hesitating, all of them strike toward Qin Feng who was holding onto those dawnstars. Qin Feng immediately released Phantom Shifts at a simr pace.

    But at that moment, Phantom Shifts were not used to kill but to grab more of those dawnstars that were on the ground.

    In swift movements, Qin Feng had soon gathered a major portion of all of the dawnstars. The remaining pieces were just about the size of a fingernail.

    Obviously, the S-tier aptitude users were still not satisfied with the leftovers regardless of how rare the dawnstar was.

    ¡°Kill this human, he was the first one here. He must have a lot with him!¡± The mouth of the Orc Lycan cracked open and revealed his vicious smile, like he was enjoying the moment where Qin Feng had to get himself out of a troubled situation.

    ¡°I could never fight against him with my capability, he was the first one here!¡± Qin Feng rebuked with another false im.

    The members of the Dark Coalition were extremely sceptical by nature and there were three humans among those five that were there. Although they knew nothing about Qin Feng, they believed that human beings were much weaker. Whenpared against Qin Feng, the Orc Lycan obviously had an upper hand.

    Immediately, the three humans rushed toward the Orc Lycan and wanted to kill him.

    ¡°Can¡¯t all of you see? My ear has been cut off by him!¡±

    The Orc Lycan was angered with his eyes blood-red.

    It was at that moment when all the three humans felt that something was not right. However, if they were to switch their aim to Qin Feng, they would risk offending another enemy. The more viable move would be to take down the Lycan first, then kill Qin Feng.

    Of course, all three of them did not know each other. If they could not have the same agreement on sharing the loot, they would have to fight each other again.

    Qin Feng took the opportunity to turn around and escape.

    The remaining two members from the Wisdom Tribe immediately followed him.

    Surprisingly, one of them was from the ck Feather Tribe. Different from the other feather tribes, they were born with acquired skills on dark abilities and not light abilities. They weremonly seen on the Bahamut continent.

    Another one was from the Cannibal Tribe. Grown up to two meters in height and a skull the size of one meter, it seemed like a magnified version of an infant.

    ¡°Humans, seems like a good meal!¡±

    It extended its tongue and licked its face, disgustingly staining its yellowish and fishy smell of saliva everywhere.

    A skull of an unidentified ultra beast then appeared on its hand. It was injected with energy while the upper and lower jaw of the skull began to move with crackling noises. Three cherubs then flew out from within with each of them having the capability of an S-tier beast general. Surprisingly, their flying speed was also much faster than the flying ck Feather Tribe.

    ¡°Devil Cherubs!¡±

    Qin Feng showcased his aversion and urge to kill.

 Chapter 969 - Slaughtering Devil Cherubs

    <h4>Chapter 969: ughtering Devil Cherubs</h4>

    Of course, Qin Feng recognized these things. The Cannibal Tribe was a race with rather stunted intelligence. However, they made up for theirck of intelligence with an insane rate of breeding. And from the tremendous amount of reproduction, sometimes a powerful entity could be born. And these people became the Cannibal Shamans¡ªthe ones who could convert and control Devil Cherubs.

    To create a Devil Cherub, one would need the souls of an intellectual species.

    Qin Feng once joined a battle in a dimensional rift to take on the Cannibal Tribe. He had seen how the entire poption of five cities got ughtered and turned into Devil Cherubs.

    These three S-tier beast general Devil Cherubs were probably made from over billions of lives of intellectual species.

    And from their appearance, these lives were most likely humans¡¯.

    Qin Feng slowed down and switched out his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Sweesh!

    The de raged out of the sheath, as though letting a loud, ringing roar.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was the most threatening weapon to any spirit-type creature.

    In a swift turn, Qin Feng faced his foes and swung his saber at them.

    A Devil Cherub widened its jaw, trying to bite the Verdant Emperor Saber. Of course, it was rather difficult for any creature, let alone a Devil Cherub, to destroy the Verdant Emperor Saber. However, if they could drip some of their essence onto the weapon, the weapon would begin to lose its purity and transfigure into something sinister¡ªa weapon that could turn on its master.

    Of course, Qin Feng knew this. However, his saber was not just any weapon. It was the Verdant Emperor Saber. And it was not that easy for one to pollute its essence.

    As the weapon and fang met, the spirits that were ensnared by the Verdant Emperor Saber lunged out to crunch their fangs at the Devil Cherub.

    The two gigantic beasts then scuffled mid-air, sinking their fangs into each other. This did notst long though...

    ¡°Aaaaaah!!¡±

    The Devil Cherubs let out an excruciating cry before beingpletely crushed by the Verdant Emperor Saber¡¯s spirits.

    In the eyes of the bystanders, it seemed as though Qin Feng had sliced the Devil Cherub into nothingness in just one sh.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    The Cannibal Shaman threw out a spit of blood from his mouth, seemingly injured from the attack too. This was due to the Cannibal Shamans and their Devil Cherubs being bound by blood and spirit. To them, the Devil Cherubs were like their arms and legs. If a Cherub was killed, it would deal a great deal of damage to their internal organs, as though their appendages had been amputated.

    It was then, two other Devil Cherubs too had caught up to Qin Feng. They swiftly zipped to his sides and surrounded him.

    Qin Feng swung out his Verdant Emperor Saber again, ignoring the Cherubs¡¯ skillful dimensional maniption.

    In an instant, the two Devil Cherubs were shed through like butter.

    Pfft!

    Both of the Devil Cherubs were cut in half and perished on the spot!

    ¡°Waarghh!!¡±

    The Cannibal Shaman cried out in pain as blood bled out from his eyes, nose, ears and mouth. Losing three Devil Cherubs in such a short time had obviously dealt an impactful blow on him.

    Seeing that Qin Feng was able to y three Devil Cherubs in less than a minute, the ck Feather Tribe man stopped giving chase. If Qin Feng was an easy target, it would be foolish of him to let a prey get away. However, it was quite apparent now that Qin Feng was a force to be reckoned with. And it would be foolish of him to take on this young man recklessly. In fact, it would be foolish to take on this young man at all.

    Meanwhile, there were a lot more people beginning to congregate at this spot. The dawnstars were, after all, great treasures. Everyone would want a piece of it.

    However, it would be bad news if this many people gathered together here.

    ¡°Hehehehehe...¡±

    Then, several specters appeared from the shadows while letting out their signature creepyughter.

    Qin Feng took a look at the specters that had emerged behind the Cannibal Shaman; the Shaman did not seem to take notice of these monstrosities at all.

    Well, there was no need to caution him about the specters either.

    ¡°This would save me a great deal of trouble, in fact.¡± Qin Feng smirked.

    Of course, there were also several specters emerging behind Qin Feng too.

    There were too many people gathering in the same ce. Thus, there were about a dozen specters appearing there at once.

    The more people gathered in the same ce, the more life essence that could be detected. The specters instinctively whiffed out these people like how a shark would detect a prey from the taste of blood in the water.

    And that was not all. The specters¡¯ number kept increasing over time, doubling in under a minute.

    Now, they had to deal with over twenty specters. And they needed to deal with them fast.

    Qin Feng quickly sheathed his Verdant Emperor Saber and whizzed away, evading a specter¡¯s attack.

    The ck Feather Tribe man quickly gave chase after seeing Qin Feng evading the specter¡¯s attack. When he got near, his body began to radiate ayer of ck mist¡ªayer of dark runes!

    The dark runes had unique properties that could allow its user to conceal his whereabouts. If one put in effort to master the runes, they could even hide their life essence too.

    After the ck Feather Tribe man concealed his presence, the specters immediately retreated to hunt for the others¡ªallowing him to flee.

    ¡°How na?ve!¡±

    Qin Feng smirked as he willed in ayer of dark runes onto himself.

    Qin Feng had already put on his Phantom Cape. As such, when thisyer of dark runes enveloped him, it felt as though the thin,ceyer of dark runes hadpletely concealed his entire existence. No life essence could be felt at all from where he stood, as though he had turned into air itself!

    Thus, in such a short time, the specters not only did not chase after Qin Feng, they actually started to flock toward the ck Feather Tribe man.

    ¡°Impossible!¡± The ck Feather Tribe man was so shocked to see this happening. His dark rune abilities were something he was born with. Their race was known for their innate abilities tomand dark runes at will. However, right now, his dark rune abilities were no match against Qin Feng¡¯s.

    He thought he was able to trick the specters to go after the young man. Yet, he did not expect the opposite.

    The ck Feather Tribe man quickly glided away at low altitude, trying to flee away. It was quite impossible to fly higher in the Bahamut continent due to the rampaging energies. It would take too much energy for one to fly at higher altitude. It would be especially true for the ck Feather Tribe man because he did not have enough energy to suppress his dark runes, they would turn on him instantly.

    To travel on this wretchednd was like dancing on the tip of a dagger.

    Although the ck Feather Tribe man had fled, this did not mean that the other S-tiers in the scene could do the same.

    The Cannibal Shaman had already been gravely wounded by Qin Feng earlier; so, there was no way he could stand a chance against the specters. Sure enough, the specters were able to phase into his body in a short time. Then, his life essence depleted like water down the drain while his body rotted rapidly.

    As the originally plump Shaman turned into a thin, frail man and fell to the ground, the essence of death began to grow stronger in the vicinity.

    Crack!

    The Shaman¡¯s body thudded to the ground and cracked into pieces. It seemed as though his body hadpletely dried up; there was nothing left of his body other than dust.

    An S-tier was felled just like that.

    Qin Feng, who was standing nearby, could see that the moment the Cannibal Shaman¡¯s body hit the ground, something else burst up into the air¡ªit was not the dust that got kicked up from the impact, but rather the conscious energy that the Shaman had left behind.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng quickly rushed to the Shaman¡¯s remains and began to absorb his energy into his starglobe.

    A lot of energy would be released when an S-tier died. As such, this was like a great feast to Qin Feng.

    In an instant, Qin Feng could feel that his consciousness had gotten stronger by a lot. He could feel that if he could get just a little more of these, he could already ascend to the next tier.

    Qin Feng then scanned his eyes on the S-tiers in the area.

    As the S-tiers were fighting vigorously with the specters, they could feel a chill running down their backs. They could feel that a sinister re had locked onto them.

    The ck Feather Tribe man too could feel it even though he had already gotten far away from them.

 Chapter 970 - The Awakened Claw

    <h4>Chapter 970: The Awakened w</h4>

    Due to being pursued and attacked by several specters, the ck Feather Tribe man¡¯s energy had been leaking out rapidly. He took a nce at Qin Feng who was standing right there¡ªhe could see the young man with his in eyes but could not sense his presence at all using his consciousness.

    Still, even though he could not use his dark-rune stealth trick to screw over Qin Feng, he could use it on the others.

    Hence, the ck Feather Tribe man quickly glided back.

    The other S-tiers who were fighting the Orc Lycan earlier were also being attacked by the specters. Things were already getting heated; but when the ck Feather Tribe man joined in with the specters pecking at his tail, things got even grimmer.

    The Orc Lycan that was fighting with Qin Feng earlier had already depleted a lot of his energy after taking on so many human S-tiers. He was nearly at his limits.

    ¡°Argh!!¡±

    The Orc Lycan let out an excruciating cry before more fur grew out of his humanoid body, morphing himself into a giant wolf. Now, his speed and power had reached a higher level. He intended to use his beast form to flee away.

    Unfortunately, there were also plenty of others who wanted to flee. Yet, no one could escape easily.

    The specters were not able to detect Qin Feng; but they were able to whiff out these S-tiers anywhere they went. In just a few minutes, these S-tiers were all gravely injured. Many of their faces turned as pale as a sheet, like their blood had been sucked dry. This was the sign of their life essence being drained away as the dark runes invaded their bodies.

    One of the human S-tiers could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground while screaming in pain.

    Qin Feng quickly zipped to his side.

    ¡°You¡¯re gonna die anyway. So, I¡¯ll make it easier for you and end your suffering.¡± Qin Feng raised his hand and willed in a heave of me at this ability user.

    ¡°Nu...! Noo!!!¡±

    The man was still trying to struggle to live in the end. However, before he was able to unleash his trump card, Qin Feng had already killed him.

    The poor man was drying from having his life essence being drained away, and then endured a killing blow by fire. One would wonder which death was worse.

    Still, Qin Feng did not have the time to wonder about this. He lifted his hand again and collected all the rune equipment and minerals he had harvested in his pocket dimension.

    Unfortunately, this man was an ancient warrior. As such, after Qin Feng had finished absorbing his internal energy, despite having felt his starglobe growing a little, he did not ascend to S1-tier.

    Right now, Qin Feng needed conscious energy more.

    Thus, he scanned around to look for another dying S-tier. Then, he noticed that the Orc Lycan S-tier was close to dying.

    ¡°Hmm, it¡¯d be good if I could kill him and gain some flesh power from him before his life essencepletely fades away.¡±

    Qin Feng then pulled out his dagger and infused his internal energy into it. After that, he vanished into thin air and zipped straight to the Orc Lycan.

    Pfft! Pfft!

    The dagger was stabbed into the Orc Lycan¡¯s eyes, hastening his death.

    ¡°Roaar!¡±

    The Orc Lycan let out an agonizing roar as hepletely lost his eyesight. As darkness loomed onto him, the Orc Lycan was going to be turned into a skeleton in minutes.

    ¡°I am a Hasth! My people will never let this slide! They will avenge me!!¡±

    The Orc Lycan roared out furiously with his consciousness before throwing up blood. The blood was green in color, sshing in Qin Feng¡¯s direction. Qin Feng wanted to evade it; but the blood seemed to have locked onto him, darting toward him even though he had moved away.

    Whoosh!!

    Qin Feng quickly activated his internal energy shield to block out the blood.

    Ssh!

    As the blood sshed onto the barrier, Qin Feng was surprised to see that it did not prate his internal energy shield. Instead, there was ayer of green energy covering his internal energy.

    ¡°Ah, the Blood Vendetta Mark? Now this is some interesting stuff.¡±

    Qin Feng finally understood what this was.

    This was a way some ns used to mark their mortal enemies before death. By doing so, their own people could identify their enemies and seek vengeance on said enemies.

    Still, Qin Feng was not worried about it.

    This mark would only work when he had stepped into the same realm as the n members that had marked him. Right now, this thing was not an immediate threat to him.

    Qin Feng walked onward and killed the Orc Lycan who was at hisst breath.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng then absorbed the Orc Lycan¡¯s flesh energy. Due to the other specters also absorbing the life essence and also the condition of the Bahamut continent, Qin Feng was not able to absorb too much of the energy before the corpse turned into a pile of ash.

    Seeing this, Qin Feng shrugged and picked up the rune equipment on the ground and walked away.

    The S-tiers had seen what Qin Feng had done. They were astonished to see that Qin Feng was able to kill two people and collect their equipment, all without the specters noticing him.

    This agitated them a lot.

    ¡°Human! If you keep doing that, you won¡¯t get away alive too, you know!¡± The ck Feather Tribe man yelled out loudly via his consciousness.

    ¡°Nah. I would not only live on; I would actually live a better life than all of you. And best of luck to y¡¯all, by the way!¡± Qin Feng mocked gleefully at him via consciousness too.

    ¡°Hey! Come on! Help out your fellow human brethren here! We did not attack you earlier!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, don¡¯t kill us!¡±

    There were only two human S-tiers left. As such, they tried to plead for Qin Feng¡¯s favor.

    The ck Feather Tribe man¡¯s face turned grim upon hearing this.

    ¡°Are you morons? Just now he killed a human too! Let¡¯s band together to kill him and escape!¡±

    Qin Feng took a nce at these people and he noticed that they seemed eager to ept the ck Feather Tribe man¡¯s proposal.

    These people from the Dark Coalition... their facial expressions were so adorably honest!

    Well, it was quitemon to find not just Dark Coalition members but also Human Alliance members betraying and killing each other in a battle like this.

    Qin Feng did not bother to defeat the others in the onset of the battle because he was usually the first to arrive to harvest the goodies. The others were fighting amongst themselves because they were envious of the firsters.

    Such was the way of the world¡ªthe capable would always invite the envy of the lesser ones.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    The ck Feather Tribe man glided toward Qin Feng, intending to kill him head on.

    Seeing this, the others too unleashed their attacks. However, they were not unleashing their best attacks. Despite that, the force in their attacks was no joke¡ªthey were still S-tiers after all.

    It was then, the area surrounding Qin Feng began to fade into a void. From the void, stepped out a young, beautifuldy.

    It was Bai Li!

    Bai Li activated her spatial abilities and pulled Qin Feng to safety.

    In the next second, the attacks exploded around the spot where Qin Feng was standing.

    Boom! Booom! Boom!

    A massive crater was created from the st.

    Creaak!

    Suddenly, a massive ck w extended out from underground, seemingly awakened by the explosion.

 Chapter 971 - Dragonspine Valley

    <h4>Chapter 971: Dragonspine Valley</h4>

    The w pped down and sent a dozen S-tiers falling to the ground. Their faces were as pale as a sheet. Then, their faces turned as ck as coal.

    A momentter, their bodies twitched around vigorously and moved around like zombies. Then, due to the specters¡¯ influence, their life essences were sapped away.

    Crash!

    Their bodies then turned into dust. As their bodies perished, arge amount of conscious energy fountained out in the area.

    However, Qin Feng did not dare toe out from his hiding from the void.

    The massive, ck w waved violently around again, trying to search for anything alive in the area. After seemingly having realized that there was no more life form around, it then retracted back into the ground.

    It was then, the conscious energy that came out from the corpses dispersed into the realm.

    ¡°Ah, what a waste!¡± Qin Fengmented.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright. There are still so many S-tiers around. There¡¯s bound to be some idiots that have a death wish.¡± Bai Liforted him.

    They then leaped out of the void and began to pick up all the spatial stones that were left behind by the departed S-tiers.

    S-tiers were rare, powerful entities in Qin Feng¡¯s home world. However, these entities could die at any time in this world. Even though these S-tiers were highly powerful and respected, they were notpletely invulnerable to harm and mortality.

    Still, due to them being strong and powerful, they did not tend to stop and be satisfied with what they had.

    After collecting the items, Qin Feng turned and decided to leave. He had already harvested a lot of resources for the whole day and the day was gettingte.

    Although the Bahamut continent was situated on a dark realm, there still was light that was able to pierce through the dark runes and seep to the surface.

    Perhaps it was like the saying, ¡°Where there is light, there must be shadow, where there is shadow there must be light.¡±

    As for where these lights came from, they probably came from another starglobe that was far away. Or perhaps there was a fire starglobe nearby.

    As the Bahamut continent moved about, night had finallye. This had raised the stakes for every living creature that was on the. After all, there was darkness everywhere they looked.

    Yet, Qin Feng did not intend to return to Zolls¡¯ Shuttle Whale. This would be foolish of him to expose himself to further danger. Perhaps Shao Tai was preparing a trap for him back there.

    ¡°Hehehehe....¡±

    The specters did not bother to slip back into the shadows and hovered around openly in the wild.

    It was already quite difficult for them to handle these specters in the day. Now, they were not only much more challenging to take on but they also gave a rather creepy vibe.

    Yet, when Qin Feng saw this, his eyes widened with joy.

    ¡°Good!¡±

    If he could kill these specters, he could absorb their conscious energy and ascend!

    Thus, Qin Feng willed up his conscious energy.

    ¡°Frozen Age!¡±

    In an instant, the area was covered in a thickyer of white, icy runes.

    A dozen specters were immediately trapped in the snow. They moved rather sluggishly, like wanderers who were lost in a snowstorm. However, they were specters, not people. They already had Qin Feng locked on and they were moving slowly but surely toward him.

    Qin Feng unsheathed his Verdant Emperor Saber and rushed toward them.

    These creatures were made of the conscious energy of the S-tiers. In some ways, they were like their ghosts. As such, the Verdant Emperor Saber was able to take them all down with ease.

    However, these specters were not self-conscious. Although they saw that many of their specter brethren had fallen, they kept on moving toward Qin Feng, intending to attack him. Although they were now hindered by the snow and ice, the specters were still quite threatening to any S-tier that got in their way.

    Too bad though. This man they were after was much more monstrous than them.

    And to Qin Feng, these specters were moving too slowly.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng shed a specter to pieces, releasing the dark runes and conscious energy it held into the air. He then immediately absorbed them all into his starglobe.

    After that, Qin Feng kept on shing the specters to their death, absorbing their energies as they fell one by one.

    Qin Feng¡¯s conscious energy thus got stronger the more battles he went through. On top of that, he could use the excess energy to recharge his Frozen Age along the way.

    Slowly, Qin Feng could feel his consciousness ascend to a bottle-neck.

    The specters were the continent¡¯s core. Thus, by absorbing them, Qin Feng could feel that his consciousness¡¯ ck starglobe was getting stronger each time he absorbed them.

    Boom!

    In an instant, a surge of calmness had risen in Qin Feng¡¯s mind. His consciousness had been expanded to a new height.

    He was now A7-tier.

    Qin Feng stopped and raised his head to look at the sky. The sky was slowly being lit up by radiating light behind the clouds¡ªhe had spent an entire night killing these specters; and daybreak had arrived.

    Still, Qin Feng was satisfied because he was able to ascend to A7-tier.

    ¡°Let¡¯s take a break.¡± Bai Li said as she walked out of the void.

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded.

    However, the ¡°break¡± should not be taken at this very spot though.

    Bai Li opened up a spatial tunnel and brought Qin Feng with her into a dimension where time moved differently. When they stayed in this dimension, they could take as long as they wanted to rest¡ªin here one day equaled one second outside.

    When they got out of the dimension, they hadpletely recovered.

    ¡°This time, let¡¯s head north.¡±

    Qin Feng needed to get his hands on the Hell Stone.

    Although Qin Feng¡¯s ice starglobe had only recently been established, he had about three thousand Sacred Ice Stones, making his ice-type abilities quite formidable.

    In fact, if he could get over thousands of Gems of Darkness, he would be even more powerful than he was now.

    Thus, Qin Feng kept on moving north while harvesting minerals in the day and killing specters in the night.

    Seven days went by.

    Zolls had arrived at the southern side of the Bahamut continent on his Shuttle Whale.

    Originally, there were nine ability users. Now, there were only six left.

    Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai were there too. Both of them were not obscenely powerful entities. Nheless, Voodoo Lord was quite a dangerous person who could use poison. Shao Tai was not some weakling too.

    Besides, they were not too greedy. Hence, they got a good haul.

    Still, after such a long time, they still could not find the ck Alp Overlord. The man seemed to have just disappeared into thin air. This made them rather fretful.

    After ordering some men into the Shuttle Whale, Zolls opened his mouth, ¡°I won¡¯t be here tomorrow. The Dragonspine Valley will appear soon after all. When I¡¯m back at the base, I will use some funds to send you guys home. If you don¡¯t want to follow me back now, I¡¯ll no longer be responsible for your well-being here.¡±

    ¡°Sir, we want to go back!¡±

    ¡°Yeah! The Dragonspine Valley isn¡¯t something we can handle!¡±

    The others¡¯ faces turned grim when they heard ¡°Dragonspine Valley¡± and were eager to go home.

    It was not Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai¡¯s first time here. As such, they knew exactly how perilous the Dragonspine Valley was.

    When they wanted to open their mouths to agree on going home, Zolls took a nce at them.

    ¡°Where¡¯s that human that you mentioned earlier? If he¡¯s noting, you two will then go to the Dragonspine Valley on his stead.¡±

 Chapter 972 - Shadowy Black Dragon

    <h4>Chapter 972: Shadowy ck Dragon</h4>

    ¡°Where¡¯s that human that you mentioned earlier? If he¡¯s noting, you two will then go to the Dragonspine Valley on his stead.¡±

    Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai¡¯s faces turned grim upon hearing this.

    The Dragonspine Valley was not a ce people of their level could handle. It would be a suicide mission!

    Still, it was toote. There was no way they could disobey Zolls.

    Now, they finally knew what kind of karma they were reaping by working with this man.

    ***

    Meanwhile, in the middle of the Bahamut continent, Qin Feng finally found a Hell Stone in a small hill.

    ¡°Aha! There¡¯s already a Hell Stone here. Looks like this is going to be a good haul!¡± Qin Feng tossed the Hell Stone into his consciousness starglobe before journeying on.

    Suddenly, he saw two silhouettes on two hills ahead. These were not the silhouettes of humans though.

    One of them had a pair of ck wings and a long tail¡ªit was a dragon-borne.

    The other one was about four meters¡¯ tall, with eight pairs of arms on his back. Each of his sixteen hands held different kinds of weapons.

    Qin Feng intended to explore every area avable in the continent. As such, he kept using his dark runes to conceal his presence to avoid getting into unnecessary fights.

    Thus, when he saw these two, Qin Feng quickly unleashed his dark runes topletely conceal himself.

    ¡°Eight pairs of hands, huh? That¡¯s an SS-tier Dopplehanded.¡±

    Qin Feng took a nce at the dragon-borne and inferred that since he appeared alongside this Dopplehanded, he must also be SS-tier.

    The real question was, why were these two here? And night was setting in too!

    ¡°Nuah, since we both can¡¯t get the treasure, how about we call it a tie today? The Dragonspine Valley is about to appear soon. If we keep on going on like this, it would be a loss for the both of us.¡± The dragon-borne said.

    ¡°Heh, nice try. How would I know you¡¯ll show up here tomorrow?¡±

    ¡°I swear upon my name, Drakao, that I will not do that.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s not enough.¡±

    ¡°Then, what would you have me do?¡±

    ¡°How about this? Both of us go to the Dragonspine Valley and work together to explore the ce. We might get lucky there.¡±

    Drakao gave it a short ponder and found that this was a good idea. Perhaps Nuah intended to find a partner from the start and he was lucky to meet him at this time.

    ¡°Certainly!¡±

    After reaching an agreement, the atmosphere was not as cold as before. Then, they unleashed their abilities to seal up the entire valley around them. Qin Feng could sense their actions and witnessed how the hills disappeared from his consciousness¡¯ detection.

    Then, he saw both of them leave the ce.

    They went in apletely different direction¡ªto the south.

    Qin Feng knew these two were too prideful to go against their words. As such, he came out of his hiding and headed toward the ce they had sealed off.

    ¡°Just what kind of treasure were these two looking for? Not even two SS-tiers like them could find it?¡±

    ¡°And... What is Dragonspine Valley?¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go check it out then!¡±

    When he reached the sealed ce, Qin Feng noticed that the two SS-tiers were really good at concealing the ce¡ªthey even used dark runes. This method was not efficient for Qin Feng. He too had the ability to manipte dark runes¡ªperhaps even more skillfully than them. The only thing he could notpete against was his consciousness level.

    ¡°Dark Shroud!¡±

    Qin Feng morphed into a shade of shadow and phased through the seal. Finally, he could see what was being hidden¡ªa small ck hill, made of dark runes. When he took a closer look, it looked like a massive dragon that was resting on the ground.

    Perhaps it had detected Qin Feng¡¯s presence, the dragon that was formed by dark runes locked onto Qin Feng before breathing out dark energy from its mouth.

    ¡°Roaar!¡±

    Qin Feng quickly stepped backward while shielding himself using his internal energy shield and dark rune barrier.

    It did not take long before the dark breath dismantled the dark rune barrier. Now, all that was left was the internal energy shield.

    Vooophmm!!

    ¡°Hang on!¡±

    Qin Feng willed up his nine starglobes and strengthened his internal energy shield by nineyers! Now, his originally ten-centimeter barrier had been reinforced to one-meter thick.

    However, the dragon¡¯s breath was getting stronger and stronger, continuing on to deplete Qin Feng¡¯s shield.

    When his internal energy shield was about to bepletely crushed, Bai Li extended her hand from the void and grabbed Qin Feng into it.

    In the next moment, the entire ce that Qin Feng was standing at earlier hadpletely turned into utter darkness.

    Inside the void, cold sweats were rolling down on Qin Feng¡¯s back. This was the first time he had witnessed exactly how dangerous an S-tier creature could be. He had underestimated his foe.

    ¡°No... this can¡¯t be. That was not an S-tier ability. There¡¯s no way an S-tier has such power!¡±

    Then, there was only one exnation left.

    It was an ability that was unleashed by an SS-tier...!

    It took about ten minutes before everything calmed down. What made this whole thing even more eerie was that the surrounding areas, aside from the obvious increase in dark runes, did not seem to be affected much by the dragon¡¯s breath earlier.

    ¡°This dark dragon¡¯s ability is probably a type of specter. A Champion¡¯s consciousness.¡± Bai Li said.

    Upon hearing this, Qin Feng finally understood.

    If this dragon was a specter, would that mean that killing it would allow him to master that ability?

    ¡°Let¡¯s pull back and observe from a distance.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    They then retreated away via the void to the spot where Nuah and Drakao met earlier. The seal was still unaffected.

    After observing for a while, Qin Feng noticed that this ck dragon seemed to be a blob of unstable dark energies¡ªhe could see dark runes hovering in and out of the dragon¡¯s body from time to time.

    This reminded Qin Feng of the runes carved onto the stone tablet in the realm of the Snow Ladies.

    Thus, Qin Feng carefully activated his Absorption Ability again.

    If this worked like he theorized, he could use his conscious energy as a bait to attract the runes. Sure enough, the runes began to be fished out by Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness. And he was able to fish out about one thousand dark runes in one go.

    One thousand dark runes seemed like a lot; but it was just a small portion from the ck dragon¡¯s body.

    Seeing this, a beam of smile curved up on Qin Feng¡¯s face.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    The runes were then absorbed into Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness before fishing up more dark runes from the ck dragon.

 Chapter 973 - The Dragontail Mountain

    <h4>Chapter 973: The Dragontail Mountain</h4>

    Qin Feng carefully absorbed the runes that escaped from the ck dragon. The silhouette of the dragon faded gradually as time passed.

    One hour...

    Two hours...

    Ten hours...

    The night had passed and out of nowhere, the ck dragon suddenly howled. Runes forming the dragon began to disperse and appeared to merge into the surrounding area.

    ¡®This is not happening.¡¯ Qin Feng would not allow it.

    With the dragon disintegrating, Qin Feng charged forward fearlessly.

    ¡°Rampage Influx!¡±

    He sped up and arrived at where the dragon was initially positioned rapidly.

    ¡°Absorb!¡±

    Qin Feng worked every bit of his conscious power to activate the Absorption Ability. The ability formed an invisible hand to trap the runes and prohibited them from escaping into the atmosphere.

    A whirlpool appeared between Qin Feng¡¯s brows. It swirled the dark runes and directed them into Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm.

    In less than ten minutes, the runes hadpletely rested in Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness.

    On his dark starglobe, a giant dragon stood on it and roared impressively. Its roar echoed through his realm.

    Qin Feng was thrilled by the feeling.

    After obtaining the ability, Qin Feng knew he had guessed it right. This was indeed an SS-tier ability.

    This was not something you would find on the blue star. As far as Qin Feng knew, even Prince Xiao¡¯s Li¡¯s family did not have any SS-tier ancient art.

    ¡®Sovereign Roar! This is terrifying. I can¡¯t cast this with my current conscious power. I need to at least reach S-tier first.¡¯ Qin Feng thought to himself.

    However, after he had absorbed all the dark runes, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had increased exponentially too. His consciousness tier had almost reached A8-tier.

    While he was deep in his thoughts, his absorption suddenly became active again. Something had caught its eyes.

    Qin Feng followed his instinct and raised his head. He found a crimson teardrop hovering in the middle of the hill where the ck dragon was earlier.

    ¡®This is...¡¯ Qin Feng was astonished. The blood drop was filled with enormous energy. This was surely an exceptional gem. Qin Feng immediately guessed its identity based on the ck dragon¡¯s aura earlier.

    ¡®The blood of Bahamut!¡¯

    One drop alone contained absurd power.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness elerated. The teardrop seemed to have its own consciousness and attempted to escape. But it eventually sumbed to Qin Feng¡¯s pulling force.

    Plop.

    The blood merged into Qin Feng¡¯s body. A powerful force immediately jolted throughout his body.

    Dragon blood had always been an elixir that could enhance almost any living being. Qin Feng had once benefited from dragon blood, which greatly improved his physique.

    The Immortal¡¯s blood had merely touched his skin and Qin Feng already felt an overpowering pressure.

    Absorption hauled the energy from the teardrop greedily.

    Qin Feng¡¯s physique immediately upgraded to A4-tier.

    But perhaps the blood had been wandering on this darknd for too long, or perhaps Bahamut had died a long time ago, despite being the Immortal¡¯s blood, it promptly disappeared after helping Qin Feng achieve breakthrough.

    Nevertheless, it was still a precious upgrade. Qin Feng¡¯s physique was like a ck hole now after being strengthened by the Geo Heart. The energy that could propel him from A4 to A3 was nothing short of significant. This showed how valuable that one drop of blood was.

    ¡®There could be more of this in here. I should head north. Better things are lying ahead.¡¯

    The first shade of light had smeared the dark sky. Qin Feng wanted to continue forward but suddenly remembered the conversation between the two SS-tiers.

    ¡®I should head to the Dragonspine Valley first.¡¯

    Qin Feng turned around and went back the way he came from.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was powerful enough to cover arge area. Oddly, he could not sense any aptitude user along the way. There was no sign of life within sight on this continent now.

    Although S-tiers were sparse here, such emptiness was rare. Qin Feng still did not bump into anyone past halfway.

    He did not know that Dragonspine Valley was too dangerous for most S-tiers. They would warily exit Bahamut on this day. S-tiers who did not run would only end up being caught and enved.

    SS-tiers were the only ones qualified to set foot there.

    Qin Feng raised his head and realized that the sun was shining unusually bright today. This indicated that something unusual was about to take ce.

    He took another long stride forward. He was now far from where the Shuttle Whale was parked.

    Suddenly, arge crowd entered Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness.

    There were at least a few hundred of them. They were all gathering at a towering peak.

    Qin Feng quickened his pace.

    When he was about a thousand meters away, Qin Feng could distinguish the aptitude users better. There were thirty to forty SS-tiers, while the rest were S-tiers.

    Another thing had caught his attention¡ªA peak that towered in the sky.

    ¡®What is this ce? Why is there a soaring peak here?¡¯

    Qin Feng could not reach the end of the peak through his consciousness. It was clouded by an opaque mist. Nobody dared to climb it at the moment.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng recalled the bird¡¯s-eye view of the continent when he was on the aircraft.

    From up there, the Bahamut continent looked exactly like a crouching dragon. Qin Feng was especially in awe of its magnificent stout tail.

    But once theynded on the continent, gravity seemed to work in a funny way here. Their sense of direction was jeopardized and the three dimensions had gone disarray.

    Qin Feng believed this peak could be the tail of the dragon he saw up in the air. That was the only exnation why the peak was this enormous.

    Then, 12 pm arrived, the time when the sun was the brightest. A warming force shone down from the peak and dispersed the cloudy mist.

    The aptitude users around the peak became spirited.

    ¡°It¡¯s almost time!¡±

    An SS-tier shouted. Though the other S-tiers seemed reluctant, they scrambled up the mountain obediently.

    Qin Feng did not want to miss the opportunity and followed behind them quietly.

    However, the moment he began the climb, dazzling energy befell him and melted away his aura gradually.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression changed.

    His dark ability allowed him to conceal his true identity. Nobody would have known that he was just an A4-tier ancient warrior. But the ability had been dispelled by the mountain and that was exposing him.

    It would do no harm in other circumstances. But being revealed in front of the SS and S-tiers was definitely not ideal.

    Indeed, a lot of people turned to the aberrant presence.

    Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai in front of him nced at Qin Feng at the same time. Their eyeballs almost popped out from their sockets.

    ¡°ck Alp Overlord? How¡¯s that possible!?¡±

 Chapter 974 - Exposed

    <h4>Chapter 974: Exposed</h4>

    Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai could not believe it. The man standing in front of them was the overlord that had killed He Tianxing and destroyed Faceless Lord with one skill.

    Yet, he was only A4-tier?

    ¡°That¡¯s not his true strength. His internal force had already attained S-tier. But since his physique is still catching up, his exterior aura remains at A4-tier.¡±

    Shao Tai was an ancient warrior himself. Thus, he immediately figured out the contradiction between Qin Feng¡¯s aura and his true strength.

    Voodoo Lord got the idea. But the fact had only deepened his fear toward Qin Feng. He wanted to kill him more than ever now.

    The young man had managed to destroy two S-tiers with an A4-tier physique. His future would only be scarier. They had feuded with him and were worried that he might seek revenge on them in the future. It would be best for them if Qin Feng were killed here and now.

    ¡°Master Zolls, that¡¯s the man we are talking about. Why not have him work for us?¡± Voodoo Lord quickly suggested.

    Zolls had naturally noticed that Qin Feng was equally baffled. Qin Feng was among the passengers that hade here on his Shuttle Whale. Zolls did not see through his disguise then.

    ¡°Interesting!¡± A sly smile came onto Zolls¡¯s face. His consciousness was locked onto Qin Feng.

    ¡°Come over here. If you perform well, I will consider rewarding you.¡±

    Even though Zolls mentioned a reward, the prerequisite was that Qin Feng had to be alive at the end of it.

    If Zolls intended to use him as cannon fodder, then Qin Feng¡¯s death was destined.

    Qin Feng was rooted at the edge of the mountain peak. His mind, in contrast, spun furiously.

    ¡°Hubby, let¡¯s leave at once,¡± Bai Li suggested.

    ¡°No, wait!¡± Qin Feng calmed Bai Li down. He stepped forward and moved toward Zolls.

    Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai were not the only S-tiers around Zolls. There were six other S-tiers around him. None of them seemed thrilled to be here, but at the same time, none dared to voice their reluctance.

    They were probably still safe, for now. Even when there was danger, Qin Feng was confident enough to improvise ording to the circumstances.

    Thus, Qin Feng decided to follow Zolls for now. He was eager to know what would happen next.

    Zolls was satisfied when he saw that Qin Feng was abiding by his order without any resistance. At least Qin Feng showed him enough respect.

    ¡°Let¡¯s move!¡± Zolls ordered them to continue climbing.

    The higher they climbed, the greater the gravitational force became. Not only that but the energy around them had be more tumultuous too.

    The raging energy pounded on them violently, forcing them to advance at a much slower pace.

    However, Qin Feng was certainly not one of them.

    His Dark Armor was designed to absorb energy from the universe, to begin with.

    They were moving as quickly as they could, but the peak seemed endless. They finally saw something different after climbing continuously for one hour.

    Multiple giant caves were seen on the peak. It was as if someone or something had poked a series of holes around the peak. Once they reached the peak, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness immediately caught more people on the other side.

    Other than the group he came up with, there were actually a few hundred more that had also reached the top of the peak.

    ¡°Go!¡± Zolls urged them. He sneered. ¡°If you guys do as I say, then perhaps you coulde out earlier in one piece. Otherwise, none of you will live to see another day!¡±

    They gritted their teeth and entered grudgingly.

    The light was sapped out as soon as Qin Feng stepped into the cave. They had seemingly entered a different dimension that was far more enormous than he thought.

    Besides, the energy level here was twice as thickpared to the outside.

    However, this ce was filled with rotting evil.

    Hehehe!

    A somber, eerieugh arose around them. It belonged to the resented specters.

    More than a hundred specters revealed themselves out of thin air. The specters must have sensed the presence of the SS-tier. They lingered aimlessly and did not approach the party.

    ¡°Who wishes to go first?¡± Zolls nced at the eight S-tiers maliciously.

    Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai were plotting to kill Qin Feng as quickly as possible. Thus, Shao Tai could not wait to suggest, ¡°This guy is only an A4-tier. He would be uselesster on. Let him go now and he would still have some use.¡±

    In fact, if Qin Feng was really that useless, then Shao Tai could be considered hopeless.

    Nevertheless, Zolls agreed with what Shao Tai was saying. He nodded and ordered, ¡°You will be the first.¡±

    ¡°Wait!¡± Qin Feng spoke through his consciousness. Shao Tai and Voodoo Lord became tense. They were worried that Qin Feng might use some gimmick to direct the arrow at them instead.

    Without the weird sunray, Qin Feng¡¯s dark runes were in action again. He could once again conceal his true form.

    But what had been exposed could not be reversed.

    ¡°You are not willing toply? You should know that I can kill you anytime and take over your body as I wish. Go immediately if you still treasure your life. If you do well, I will have someone rece you.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want toply. But this is my first time here. Do you expect me to seed without telling me anything? Should I just go and waste my chance?¡±

    Zolls was stunned. Qin Fenging here without knowing anything did surprise him.

    At least, he was still being reasonable and exined it to Qin Feng, ¡°Lure the specters and keep running for ten thousand meters. I will have someone rece you once you have seeded.¡± Zolls did not want Qin Feng to feel despair, so he suggested a change every ten thousand meters. But his consciousness became fierce and he warned Qin Feng sternly, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare y any tricks. Petty tricks always don¡¯t end well under my watch, remember that.¡±

    ¡°Alright, alright!¡±

    While they were talking, more specters had gathered and they were growing restless. Finally, the specters could no longer resist the temptation of human scent and charged at them.

    ¡°Go now, or I will kill you!¡± Zolls shouted.

    Even to an SS-tier, being surrounded by hundreds of specters in this dark ce was rather dangerous. That was why they needed a ry of cannon fodders.

    These specters would not pursue too far. However, they were everywhere in this pitch-ck darkness.

    Right now, a lot of S-tiers had been worked by their respective SS-tier abusers to lure the specters. In Zolls¡¯s group, Qin Feng was the first cannon fodder sent out. He did not tempt fate and ran obediently at the front to draw away the specters.

    After one week, Qin Feng had studied the behavior of these specters well. He had killed thousands of them during the night. This number chasing him now was not enough to dazzle him.

    That was why he seemed oddly rxed despite being hounded by arge band of shadows. Zolls did not bring along the Shuttle Whale and jogged closely behind him and the specters.

    Though the Shuttle Whale was also a spatial beast, it was not as skilled as Bai Li. The best it could do in this high-pressure environment was to open a spatial tunnel. It was Zolls¡¯sst resort to escape if things got dire.

    Like Zolls, other SS-tiers had something up their sleeves to get away in the direst of moments. But whether an S-tier could escape unscathedrgely depended on luck.

    Qin Feng continued to sprint forward. The surrounding was still shrouded by imprable darkness. However, it did not obstruct Qin Feng¡¯s vision. In fact, he could see clearer in here.

    Indeed, he was running through a valley. However, the sensation on the ground was a little different than a normal mountain route. There was also no vegetation around this valley.

    ¡®This ce is called Dragonspine Valley. Am I running on the spine of Bahamut now?¡¯

 Chapter 975 - See You Again

    <h4>Chapter 975: See You Again</h4>

    Qin Feng guessed it right. They were now in the center region of the continent. This was probably the route that led up to the dragon¡¯s brain, where the Immortal¡¯s crystal core was ced at.

    Since they were on the inside, the energy level was much more abundant than other ces on this continent. As a result, the specters roamed this ce wherever darkness went. Highly dangerous creatures, like the giant monster with sharp ws from before, would also emerge here during the night.

    It took a toll on those below SS-tiers to even move a step in here. Even the SS-tiers could hardly reap any benefits if they were to explore the cave unprepared.

    However, high risk oftenes with high rewards. More dragon blood that Qin Feng had obtained outside could be abundant here. There were also dark stones and dragon marrow hidden somewhere in here.

    As he ran, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness detected a special kind of ore. Though it was only as big as a fingernail, Qin Feng would not waste it.

    He suddenly elerated.

    Zolls and the others were baffled. They did not dare to speed up as Qin Feng did.

    ¡°What the hell are you doing?¡± Zolls growled. He did not know what Qin Feng was scheming.

    Unbelievably, Zolls actually could not catch up with Qin Feng even if he wanted to.

    That did not mean he did not have a hundred ways to kill Qin Feng. But there were too many specters following him. Taking out their target now would only turn the specters toward the main group.

    Qin Feng did not n to slow down. He extended his dark aura over to the ore. Then, he discreetly snatched the stone directly into his spatial equipment.

    Qin Feng then immediately slowed down to let the others catch up to him. His consciousness was delivered out at the same time.

    ¡°I havepleted 10,000 meters. It¡¯s time for a switch.¡±

    The other S-tiers immediately tensed up. None of them wanted to be the next lure.

    ¡°Master Zolls, I don¡¯t think he is exhausted yet since he could run that fast just now. There¡¯s still fuel left in his tank, why not let him continue?¡± Voodoo Lord suggested.

    Zolls was indeed displeased with Qin Feng. He did not like how the A4-tier kept challenging his patience. Voodoo Lord¡¯s suggestion was exactly what he wanted to hear.

    ¡°Keep running. I will rece you when I want to. You talk too much.¡±

    Qin Feng was calm on the surface but sneered quietly inside. He estimated the number of specters around them and reckoned that was still not enough to threaten Zolls. As such, he conceded and kept running.

    There were about 600 men inside the valley now. Some were running at the same pace as Qin Feng. After 10,000 meters, most S-tiers could hardly continue and began to plead.

    ¡°I can¡¯t continue. Switch!¡±

    ¡°Master, I have reached my limit, save me!¡±

    ¡°Old devil, if I die here, I won¡¯t let any of you live.¡±

    An SS-tier beside Qin Feng suddenly unleashed an attack. It was too fast for the S-tier to react and his leg was immediately cut off. The scent of blood stimted the specters as they swarmed toward the amputated S-tier instantly.

    The exhausted S-tier was already on the verge of being engulfed by the specters. The attack by the SS-tier only sped up his inevitable death.

    ¡°Go!¡± The SS-tier urged his subordinates and picked another cannon fodder to lead the way.

    As for those specters umted from earlier, they remained on the spot being hooked by the dying S-tier.

    It was a petrifying scene to watch. The other S-tiers ran harder as no one wanted to die in such a pitiful way.

    The SS-tiers were cruel and close to being inhumane. Another human was left behind as bait unsympathetically just because he no longer had any value.

    Qin Feng maintained a steady speed and did not ask for a switch again. He continued to run for another half an hour and ended up covering 100,000 meters. Because he was not reced, the specters amassed behind him grewrger andrger. It felt like there were at least four to five thousand of them, not counting those that ovepped with each other.

    The others had never seen a person who could endure this long and had gathered these many specters.

    Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai were palpitating as they watched the umting specters. Zolls also had a bad feeling about it.

    ¡°You are doing well. I will give you a chance to live. You can run back now. Whether you can leave this ce alive or not depends on yourself,¡± Zolls said.

    He would not kill Qin Feng like how the other SS-tiers treated their ves, because if Qin Feng were to copse, he would have arge army of specters to deal with. That was not a number he could escape unharmed.

    Besides, the next 10,000 meters had been explored by the other SS-tiers before. That was where the real treasures were. Qin Feng¡¯s true strength was still a mystery. Zolls did not want such an unstable threat to follow him there.

    The idea to activate Dark Shroud had just crossed Qin Feng¡¯s mind and Zolls had seen through his intention. Perhaps that was the so-called sixth sense.

    But Qin Feng did not mind. If he killed these many specters at once, his consciousness would certainly reach A8-tier.

    Thus, Qin Feng epted Zolls¡¯s arrangement without hesitation.

    ¡°Thank you for not killing me. I will see you again.¡±

    That was not out of courtesy. Qin Feng truly believed that they would cross paths again in the future.

    Zolls had been on his high horse for a very long time. It was not Qin Feng if he did not teach him a lesson in the future.

    Qin Feng turned around and let Zolls go this time. He disappeared from their sight, along with therge crowd of specters.

    After Qin Feng left, the others were momentarily relieved. But a new problem soon arose¡ªWho would be the second person to lead the way?

    Qin Feng could not care less about their strife. He broadened his senses after leaving. When he had gone to a safe distance, he freed his true power.

    ¡°Frozen Age!¡±

    Numerous abilities amplified by the Sacred Ice Stone were unleashed, generating a destructive force that froze all the specters instantly.

    Qin Feng then drew his Verdant Emperor Saber and killed them rapidly.

    Numerous dark runes and consciousness merged into Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm. It boosted his conscious power all the way up to the critical point.

    Boom!

    A familiar hum rang in his head, signifying that the threshold had been surpassed. Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was once again sublime.

    A8-tier!

    ¡®An Immortal¡¯s dimension is certainly full of encounters and opportunities.¡¯ Qin Feng could not be more satisfied. He believed that even breaking through S-tier was possible if he stayed here longer.

    After cleansing the specters, Qin Feng did not conceal his aura like he usually did. Instead, he bared his life force unreservedly. More so, he took out a crystal core that belonged to the Gorefiend and put it inside the pocket of his Dark Armor.

    The crystal core was also pulsing with vitality. As soon as Qin Feng took it out, shadows began to spiral up from the ground.

    The specters gathered up around him rapidly as they had never left.

    Qin Feng was on the move again.

    An activity that others despised, Qin Feng did it willingly and persistently. He wanted to lure as many specters as possible.

    Of course, he was headed in apletely different direction from Zolls and co. He did not want to be seen.

    Shortly after he began running, Qin Feng heard a raging roar. The sound was followed by an intense aura.

    ¡®Death Behemoth!¡¯

    Qin Feng reacted immediately.

 Chapter 976 - Shadow Split

    <h4>Chapter 976: Shadow Split</h4>

    Qin Feng was quick in acting.

    This was the third time he hade across the behemoth. He promptly erased his presence to hide from the pursuing specter, then probed carefully with his consciousness.

    However, when he reached the source of the howl, Qin Feng was disappointed to find that it did note from the behemoth. Instead, it was an inted specter.

    The specter was at least twenty-meter-high. It did not appear to have a special skill or unmatching speed. Nheless, it could constantly release specter minions out of its body. One of the SS-tiers was fighting it while the other S-tiers were diverting the minions. It was apparent that they did not fight in ord with one another. Most of them only gave minimal effort.

    ¡®The erged specter must have something valuable, like dragon blood, hidden in it. Otherwise, the SS-tier, who is not a dark type, wouldn¡¯t have thrown himself to it. He would gain nothing even if he killed the specter with this much effort.¡¯

    Even if the item did not suit or could not be used by the SS-tier, it could always be used as a trading chipter on.

    Qin Feng had learned that though the energy cube was the default currency in the Human Alliance, items of exceptional tier could be exchanged with another type of currency, which was the sacred stone.

    Qin Feng was considered wealthy after he had obtained more than three thousand sacred stones in a previous encounter. However, he did not use any of the stones to purchase anything. After all, very few arts could outperform Asteroid Assimtion.

    He reckoned the SS-tiers were here looking for Dark Stones, dragon blood, dragon marrow, or anything of simr value.

    It was said that dragon marrow was the most abundant, but Qin Feng had not found any so far.

    ¡®Well, it¡¯s fate that we meet here. Let me send you guys some gifts.¡¯ Qin Feng thought about it. Seeing the stalemate, and that the group could not do anything about the giant specter, Qin Feng retreated and took out the Gorefiend¡¯s core again.

    Soon, hundreds of specters gathered around him again.

    Although there were only three hundred shadows, it was thest straw that could easily run the group over.

    Qin Feng dashed toward the giant specter.

    ¡°Bai Li, give me a handter.¡±

    ¡°Okay.¡± Bai Li¡¯s answer resonated from his soul.

    Qin Feng¡¯s action came with considerable risk. Nevertheless, after running and exploring inside the valley for more than half an hour, he hadrgely grasped the topography of this Dragonspine Valley. ces that might be dangerous to others were like his backyard now.

    ¡°Rampage Influx.¡±

    Qin Feng charged out from the shadow.

    Raw! Raw! Raw!

    The death aura released by the iing specters finally caught the attention of the party.

    ¡°What the hell?!¡±

    ¡°Where did so many specterse from?¡±

    ¡°Stall them! Don¡¯t let them get near!¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s flee immediately! It¡¯s doomed either way. I am done with this!¡±

    These S-tiers were not a concerted group, to begin with. Naturally, they were conceited and fled selfishly when tragedy struck.

    The giant specter was on the verge of defeat. Qin Feng made no dy and released a powerful ability.

    ¡°Cold Whisper of Death!¡±

    Qin Feng pointed his finger and hit the SS-tier fighting the giant specter.

    A thinyer of ice was swiftly wrapped around the SS-tier. But the ice melted in an instant like his body was carrying a scorching me.

    More like his burning anger.

    ¡°How dare you!¡±

    His prestigious tier had failed to terrorize these unthankfulborers. No wonder he was furious.

    Qin Feng did not care about his bellow. He drew out the Verdant Emperor Saber fearlessly.

    ¡°Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    This was the first time Qin Feng was using this skill after he upgraded the saber. Nine frozen stars gleamed behind him. His internal force filled the de and the attack perforated right through the twenty-meter specter.

    Instantaneously, the specter twitched and started to disintegrate. The dispersion of the dark runes revealed a fist-size Hell Stone at its center.

    On the other side, the SS-tier had sessfully shaken off the Cold Whisper of Death. He lunged toward the Hell Stone, but the space in front of him suddenly distorted. Silver lights blinked in front of him and created an isted dimension.

    ¡°Spatial Barrier¡ªCubic sp!¡±

    The cube was obviously not used to trap the SS-tier. Instead, it locked the giant specter and Qin Feng in it.

    ¡°Absorption!¡±

    Qin Feng sped up. The whirlpool sucked the dark runes from the giant specter into his conscious realm rapidly.

    Immediately, Qin Feng sensed that he had mastered yet another new dark ability.

    ¡®Shadow Split?¡¯

    Qin Feng could perceive that this skill allowed him to create a loyal servant that was tailored based on his current strength. It was like having another contracted beast. He could order them around and Qin Feng¡¯s conscious power allowed him to create seven servants now!

    But if he could cast it this easily, then it should be just an S-tier but not an SS-tier ability. It probably would not be a game-changer at this stage.

    Qin Feng did not have the time to delve deeper into it. He refocused and pulled the Hell Stone into his consciousness as well.

    Crack!

    The SS-tier eventually managed to crack the spatial cube. The frost-stricken SS-tier was infuriated. He could not wait to rip Qin Feng apart.

    Both the giant specter and the gem hidden in it had disappeared from his sight now. That only added fuel to the fire.

    ¡°You must be tired of living. How dare you hijack me!¡±

    The SS-tier did not wait and lunged at Qin Feng furiously. However, his target suddenly turned into numerous afterimages.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    The images split and ran in all directions.

    ¡°Do you think you can escape me? Die!¡±

    The SS-tier raised his hand, channeled immense energy, then mmed it hard onto the ground.

    Boom!

    The ground quaked violently. However, the SS-tier was stunned to find that Qin Feng had disappeared, leaving only vaporizing dark runes behind.

    He insanely expanded his probe and was once again perplexed to find that six Qin Fengs were fleeing in six different directions.

    The elite¡¯s face was as dark as the color of the valley ground.

    Qin Feng had escaped right under his nose.

    ¡®This new skill is pretty useful, after all!¡¯

    Not only could the ability create a servant, but the user could also synchronize his or her aura with it. Besides, dark-type abilities were best in disguises, camouges, and disappearances. A weaker opponent could not even detect the servant, let alone distinguish the split from the real body.

    It was awesome.

    ¡®Besides, I can now investigate the valley more freely and efficiently with the servants!¡¯

    He made up his mind and resummoned his servants. Again, he released the seven servants and gave them one Gorefiend¡¯s core each.

    Qin Feng then instructed the seven servants to go in different directions.

    This way, he would not even need to run up and down the valley.

    Five minutester, he received feedback from two of them as they had both found the Death Behemoth.

    ¡®I now have seven cannon fodders at my disposal!¡¯ Qin Feng grinned and headed toward one of the two.

 Chapter 977 - Valleyâ€™s Current

    <h4>Chapter 977: Valley¡¯s Current</h4>

    This time, Qin Feng did not even need to show himself. Instead, he had his seven shadow splits, along with the four to five hundred specters, crush the battle. Other than the SS-tier who had managed to escape, the rest of the S-tiers from the Dark Coalition died on the spot.

    Qin Feng reaped the reward almost effortlessly.

    Qin Feng was not at all feeling guilty of exercising such a tactic that had little difference from cheating.

    ***

    Two hourster, Qin Feng had ¡°cheated¡± seven groups in total. So far, he had only found Hell Stones in all seven encounters. No sight of either dragon blood or dragon marrow just yet.

    Oddly, he realized that everyone had begun to shift toward the exit.

    ¡®Perhaps they have intel that I am not aware of?¡¯ Qin Feng suspected.

    He decided to tail one of the groups. They did not have anything worth ambushing. Thus, Qin Feng followed them quietly and gathered important intel along the way.

    The Bahamut continent was definitely not a friendly ce. Casualties had piled up to two hundred out of the six hundred who had entered the valley this time. The falling of an S-tier was amon urrence here. After all, death was amon theme in this unforgiving dimension.

    As it was somon, these people were extremely cautious, praying that the scythe of death would not swipe at them next.

    Just like the reason they would leave the continent, they were leaving the valley now because the sun was about to set.

    Qin Feng took note of the time. They had wasted half an hour hiking. Then, he led the way for another half an hour and wandered by himself for three more hours. If the time when they began the trek was near mid-afternoon, then it was probably close to 4 pm right now. The sunray was going to disappear soon. If they did not leave now, they would be trapped here for at least another month.

    If the Dragonspine valley was already this horrible during day time, it was not difficult to imagine how harsh it would be during night time.

    The dark runes in here were currently being suppressed by the sunlight. It would be extremely terrifying when the light fades.

    ¡®How terrifying will it be? Is it going to be more terrifying than the nights in the maind?¡¯ Qin Feng had no idea. But he had no fear with Bai Li by her side.

    ¡®But wouldn¡¯t it be better this way? No one would be around so there would be no SS-tier threatening me then!¡¯

    ¡®I can even upgrade my conscious power to S-tier here! I am sure of it!¡¯

    At that time, Qin Feng¡¯s Sovereign Roar would be unstoppable, not even by an SS-tier.

    After having these thoughts, Qin Feng made a bold decision¡ªHe was staying.

    ¡°I wonder if Shao Tai and Voodoo Lord are still alive. If they are not killed, perhaps they would stir up some trouble in the Dark Citadel!¡±

    Qin Feng could not care less about the unimportant Dark Citadel. Even if they had seen his true strength, they would not have guessed his identity as the president of the Fengli Organization.

    As time passed, the remaining aptitude users left the Dragonspine Valley one after another.

    Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai were indeed still alive. With Qin Feng alleviating most of their burden, Zolls¡¯s troop¡¯s fighting capacity was well preserved. Thanks to that, Zolls bagged quite a fortune this round. He even generously spared some to Shao Tai and Voodoo Lord.

    ¡°Judging by his capability, he has certainly escaped unscathed. You two, find him for me and bring him in next month. If not, I will know where to find you both, no matter which dimension you go to!¡±

    As he spoke, Zolls held his hand up. A conscious force soon struck the two, putting a grimace on their faces.

    ¡°Soul Mark.¡±

    Zolls tagged them and could now find them no matter where they were hiding.

    Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai cursed grudgingly on the inside. They finally understood the cost of coborating with an SS-tier on an uneven scale. They deeply regretted it, but it was all toote now.

    Qin Feng did not know that Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai did not get to return to the Blue Star Realm at all in the following month because Zolls wanted him.

    After they left, astounding changes began to take ce inside the valley.

    Ssh!

    There came the sound of water sshing in the dark.

    ¡®What is this?¡¯

    Qin Feng watched quietly with his consciousness stretched out to the furthest.

    This was when he saw a current.

    It rippled off from the depths of Dragonspine Valley. Qin Feng reckoned that it resembled a stream.

    Something was being carried by it.

    Figureless specters were seen hovering above the stream. Suddenly, they swarmed simultaneously toward a specific location.

    Their sounds became eerier with urgency in it. The specters pounced onto an object that was flowing along with the current.

    It was a Hell Stone.

    The first specter swallowed the Hell Stone, while the others tried to tear it apart. But such assault only resulted in them fusing with one another.

    This looked like a fusion more than a battle.

    Gradually, all the specters merged into a new giant creature.

    Unlike a soulless specter, this newborn at least harbored a raw and simplistic consciousness.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng realized that thisnd of death was notpletely void of life after all.

    This creature in front of him was the new life native to Bahamut.

    The specters were much like human cells. If undisturbed, they would naturallye together and breed a new form of life.

    Among the intelligent species Qin Feng had encountered before, the Cinderst Golem was the best example. They too were created from the assembly of fire elements.

    However, such an evolution would take a very long time. The visiting plunderer would not care to preserve them. Qin Feng would not either.

    He charged forward but was immediately met by a powerful force.

    ¡®This is...¡¯

    Qin Feng was taken aback. He did not sense anything when probing with his consciousness earlier. But when the current got closer to him, Qin Feng finally sensed it.

    The stream itself was liquefied energy. Although it is not as dense as an energy cube and was filled with dark energy, it fit Qin Feng¡¯s appetite just right.

    Besides, there were ample of them iing.

    ¡°Absorption!¡±

    Qin Feng no longer cared about the new creature or the Hell Stone.

    He gulped the energy flow insanely. Perhaps his opportunity to attain S-tier depended on this.

    Even though they were both Immortals, Bahamut was surely more powerful than the Snow Lady. Without proper protection, Qin Feng probably could noy reach the Immortal¡¯s core based on his current strength. But taking only a portion of Bahamut¡¯s energy was rewarding enough for Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was d that he had chosen toe here and stayed put.

    The whirlpool between his brows had been opened up more than ten times today. He engulfed the vast power gluttonously.

    His consciousness responded to the influx and improved rapidly. He believed he could reach S-tier in less than a month at this rate!

 Chapter 978 - Streamside Rampage

    <h4>Chapter 978: Streamside Rampage</h4>

    However, a stream that was only ankle deep would not be enough for what Qin Feng needed, so he continued on.

    The stream constantly flowed past Qin Feng¡¯s ankles, until it reached up to no higher than his thighs, then to his waist. The surrounding energy was packed to the brim, but also constantly pushing against him with extreme force.

    The stream was repelling him, trying to push him away.

    It was naturally impossible for Qin Feng to give up such a great opportunity for ranking up. His legs were like stone, standing firm.

    The surrounding specters, after seeing him, wildly rushed toward him. Even if Qin Feng activated his strongest Dark Shroud, it would not be useful now.

    Standing in the darkness, that distinct aura of life was very easy to recognize.

    Hwreee!

    Arge specter fell upon him, roaring and swinging out toward Qin Feng as he had invaded its territory.

    ¡°Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    Qin Feng remained where he had nted his feet, shing up and toward the specter as the nine frozen stars appeared behind him. That was because he knew that there would not only be just one spectering for him.

    As expected, more specters began to approach one after another.

    He stood his ground, killing whatever enemy that got close enough into his range.

    As he yed his way through the specters attacking him, he was also constantly and tirelessly absorbing energy. It would take ten days of this before he would properly reach A9-tier and even then going from A9-tier to S-tier would take some time.

    ¡°Looks like I¡¯ve been taking this for granted!¡±

    Qin Feng put on a wry smile. Although his consciousness was not on the same level as his physical form, the energy it used up was not little.

    ¡°Bai Li!¡± He called out, and from the darkness, Bai Li swept Qin Feng away from where he once was.

    After an entire night of his rampage, he was exhausted. The most important thing was that this kind of fighting could not replenish his internal force and restore his physical energy.

    That was because the specters he yed did not contain energy.

    He needed to rest.

    However, in that realm where time was flowing faster, there was no need to mention how much time had passed in the outside world. When Qin Feng reappeared, he was still in the water and two specters were near him.

    Before these specters could attack him, something happened.

    Whooosh!

    The water began to flow backward, going from being waist deep to being thigh deep. Qin Feng could feel the energy rapidly receding.

    Those specters seemed to linger along the water, fleeing and leaving him alone.

    Qin Feng also started to run.

    He used martial arts to move himself, naturally he would be faster than the specters but heter discovered that he could not keep up with the wave as he watched it recede without a trace.

    However, after the tide receded, Qin Feng stood in ce and stared at the things on the ground in amazement.

    ¡°Are... are these all Hell Stones?¡± He could not believe what he was seeing.

    It might have been an exaggeration if said out loud, but Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness could detect at least more than a hundred Hell Stones within a one-hundred-meter distance.

    These Hell Stones were like pebbles in a creek, lying on the stream bed. Now that all the water was gone, the stones were naturally exposed.

    Just when Qin Feng saw this, the specters in the area saw this as well and naturally they all tried to snatch them away.

    Another great battle ensued, Qin Feng was not nning on sharing as he grabbed all the Hell Stones he could fit into his arms.

    What a fortune!

    ¡°Don¡¯t know when another wave like this is going to happen!¡±

    That was something he was looking forward to.

    As he continued to walk forward, there was no trace of the water other than the Hell Stones that lined the ground.

    Up to a certain point, something ahead of him caused him to have chills run down his spine.

    Bai Li appeared from her space, sounding a bit panicked, ¡°Don¡¯t go any further. There¡¯s a terrible creature up ahead and his aura is tampering with spatial maniption. I can¡¯t open up another entrance into the space!¡±

    Without the entrance into her void, Bai Li would be unable toe out from there, nor would she be able to pull Qin Feng out of trouble should he be in a sticky situation.

    This might as well havepletely countered his ace in the hole.

    Qin Feng stared into the darkness. Some unknown monster out there caused his desire to explore to be ovee by reason.

    ¡°Let¡¯s try another direction!¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡±

    Considering that she did not want Qin Feng to be in harm¡¯s way, Bai Li naturally agreed.

    He tried traveling in other ces, but up to a certain point, he would always encounter a terrifying behemoth.

    His strength was only until this point.

    Although his consciousness was unable to extend across the entire continent, he had Bai Li. She could traverse through the realm and figure out which location they were in, for her it was a simple thing to do.

    ¡°We¡¯re currently in the center of thisndmass!¡±

    Of course, the underground of the center.

    He had guessed the origin of the name Dragonspine Valley and that was indeed correct but there was no dragon marrow here. All that was left was dark energy and that was far more valuable than dragon marrow.

    ¡°With my strength right now, the best I can do is pace around here. Last time I received the Sovereign Roar, that¡¯s already a stroke of good luck. That Behemoth didn¡¯t move. Now these ones should not be provoked!¡±

    These behemoths were in the SS-tier in terms of strength.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force was only S-tier, and that being said it was in the deity tierpared to the S-tier powerhouses. He could kill an ancient warrior in the matter of seconds and was only just a little bit weaker than an ability user of the same tier.

    When faced with SS-tier aptitude users, he could only defend himself but not contend.

    An A4-tier physical body and A8-tier consciousness had be Qin Feng¡¯s weakness.

    Such a level of strength could be identified by SS-tiers and exploited during an attempt to kill him.

    However, the moment Qin Feng hadpletely reached S-tier, even a strong SS-tier would have trouble facing off against him and those who were considered average would be easily defeated.

    ¡°This should be enough. Back to hunting specters to increase my consciousness. Too bad there¡¯s no dragon marrow or dragon blood!¡±

    ¡°With and full of death, of course there¡¯s nothing like that. Next time, we should go to a realm full of life!¡± Bai Li said.

    ¡°You¡¯re right!¡±

    Bai Li stroked her chin, saying, ¡°Come to think of it, while I¡¯ve grown up quite a bit, I haven¡¯t done any traveling through the realms. That¡¯s what spatial beasts are supposed to do, travel between realms. That is what a true spatial beast is.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze softened, he knew that Bai Li had stayed because of him.

    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll follow you!¡±

    The corners of Bai Li¡¯s lips curled into a smile. ¡°Of course.¡±

 Chapter 979 - Tidal Darkness

    <h4>Chapter 979: Tidal Darkness</h4>

    After the two had a conversation, Qin Feng once again started another disinteresting rampage. With all the dark energy covering the area, any normal person would quickly be twisted and start falling apart.

    Qin Feng had seen a dark ability user in the past, one with a powerful consciousness but also a twisted mind. His belief was that the world should be doused in darkness, that death was the only destination and humanity should perish and rot away until there were nothing but skeletons. In his eyes, that would be the most beautiful thing.

    There were many people like that. Darkness was something that corrupted the soul. Fortunately, Qin Feng had Bai Li by his side, as if she was the light that surrounded him and illuminated the dark.

    After more than ten hours had passed, he heard the sound of crashing and that familiar stream appeared again.

    This lifted Qin Feng¡¯s mood, it looked like this was something that happened every day.

    ¡°Looks like it¡¯s rted to night and day, just like the tide!¡±

    After his first time experiencing it, this time Qin Feng had found his momentum. He once again raised his consciousness in one night, and when the tide was low, his spirits were filled with a heightened urgency.

    He wanted to know where this tide came from, where it went and whether or not it would directly lead him to the Immortal¡¯s crystal core.

    Of course, Qin Feng was more careful this time.

    Whoosh!

    The tide of darkness receded and he frantically raced after it, but only after a kilometer, a pair of ultra beasts ahead of him noticed him.

    It was actually two SS-tier ultra beasts.

    Hisss!

    These two ultra beasts were serpentine creatures, the moment they saw Qin Feng their pitch ck eyes locked onto him and slithered forward like the wind.

    ¡°Rampage Influx!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s energy immediately burst forth and he started turning back.

    However, these two serpents did not want to let him go and actually raced after him.

    ¡°Shadow Split!¡±

    His body separated into seven versions of himself and ran in different directions with each of them activating Phantom Shift.

    A series of S-tier abilities and moves was unleashed one after another, just so he could escape.

    The giant serpents were bewildered by Qin Feng and chased after one of his shadows without bothering him again.

    This made him silently thankful, but he was also slightly disappointed. His attempt at investigation was once again foiled.

    However, he had begun to form another idea in his mind.

    He was not someone who gave up easily. Previously in the Snow Lady¡¯s Realm, he identally encountered the Immortal¡¯s crystal core and this time it made him think, did this dead Immortal not leave behind an inheritance and instead gave it up?

    Naturally, he was unwilling to ept that idea.

    ¡°Shadow Split can confuse SS-tier Death Behemoths because my entire body transforms into dark runes, but I can¡¯t maintain this form for a long time!¡±

    Now, he needed a way to solve this once and for all.

    He suddenly had an epiphany in the form of a very bold idea.

    ¡°Bai Li, I want to rest for a bit!¡±

    ¡°Come here!¡±

    Bai Li reached out with her hand and Qin Feng entered her realm where time flowed faster.

    When he entered, he did not immediately start taking a break. Instead he took out the Magical Tesseract.

    In the next moment, the center of his brow began to swirl as Hell Stones appeared out of it one by one.

    With two days worth of collecting, he had umted up to three hundred Hell Stones. Putting them together in a small bag, he put all of these Hell Stones inside the Magical Tesseract.

    ¡°Refine!¡±

    Although these Hell Stones were powerful, they were only considered as S-tier materials. While they could be used as they were, it was not umon for them to get smelted to make equipment instead.

    As such, rune equipment iid with these sacred stones was stronger than those created from crystal cores.

    Qin Feng only understood the concepts of what was strong in the past, but he never really understood why. Now, he understood that sacred stones were only things powerful people were able to provide.

    The Magical Tesseract was refining things very slowly and it was not as quick as before when it was being used to generate S-tier items, but this slowness was naturally eptable for him.

    His consciousness had been manipting the Magical Tesseract all this time and the process went on for a full day before the contents transformed into what he needed.

    Abat uniform more discreet than the Dark Armor.

    He swapped into thisbat uniform and encased his entire body with Hell Stone. Thispletely concealed his aura.

    More importantly, this item was made by the Magical Tesseract, meaning that it was connected to his consciousness, much like how a finger was connected to an arm. When Qin Feng wanted to hide his aura, this armor would serve as a stronger option than the cloak that he obtained from the Dragon-borne.

    The specters would not be able to detect Qin Feng¡¯s aura now, nor would they seek to attack him due to being attracted by the Hell Stones.

    Once everything was ready, Qin Feng left the realm and stepped back into Dragonspine Valley. After a hundred days ofbat, night fell and the familiar tide arrived again.

    This time, he chose to conceal his aura, and instead of fighting the specters he started moving upstream.

    The tide eventually went past his waist and reached all the way up to his chest. As the resistance against him got more and more powerful, the energy around him got stronger and stronger.

    He continued to move forward until it flooded over his head.

    This time, when the tide receded, he finally seized the moment.

    While this was notpletely literal, he let himself get taken by the tide, letting his body get swept away.

    ¡°Can¡¯t keep going forward, I won¡¯t be able to open up my space!¡± Bai Li became anxious.

    ¡°It¡¯ll be fine, even if you can¡¯t open it we¡¯ll be fine! This armor is made out of Hell Stones, the specters wouldn¡¯t be able to find me!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Bai Li hesitated for a moment, but decided to trust Qin Feng.

    He continued to drift along the tide, ultra beasts with terrifying auras appeared around him from time to time but Qin Feng was not discovered.

    After a long while, he came to a stop as the surrounding water disappeared, and he discovered a high slope.

    Hundreds of powerful creatures were on this high slope. Their bodies seemed more solid and from the looks of things they had a characteristic of something that existed in a ¡®living body¡¯. A soul.

    What attracted his attention the most was the fact that the ground was filled with Hell Stones.

    Fortunately, with his armor being made out of Hell Stones, he was able to blend into his surroundings perfectly. He stayed close to the ground and quickly collected the Hell Stones.

    The SS-tier Death Behemoths here werepletely different from the specters. Qin Fengy low on the ground as he continued to collect the stones.

    For him, this was a massive harvest.

    Not to mention, he had already gained back the amount used to craft the armor, even doubling in amount.

    In his moment of joy, the crashing sound came again.

    Water washed over the slope and crashed down, gushing toward Qin Feng¡¯s body. The unprepared Qin Feng could not brace himself in time and was washed away by the river.

 Chapter 980 - The Immortal Core

    <h4>Chapter 980: The Immortal Core</h4>

    Unable to do anything, Qin Feng was directly washed down the hillside.

    No matter how hard he struggled, the stream seemed to be bottomless. It dragged him along and three hours would pass before he could stand firm again.

    ¡°It looks like we¡¯re back where we were before, here I can open up space again!¡±

    As a spatial beast, Bai Li was very sensitive to spatial shifts so she immediately told Qin Feng where he was.

    ¡°Hm, that¡¯s fine. We¡¯ll continue tomorrow!¡±

    That was the only thing he could do, the water was proving to be putting up too much resistance. He moved forward with difficulty and could only reach until he was submerged up to his neck. After a night of absorbing energy, the tide came again.

    This time, when the tide was retreating, he returned to that slope and it allowed him to collect the Hell stones.

    Since there were powerful beasts that lingered around that slope, Qin Feng did not dare to try them. He could only continuously collect Hell Stones and manage to get a bit further before he was pushed away. Fortunately, he was able to return to that slope very quickly when the tide was low.

    After seven to eight days, Qin Feng drifted through and fro with the stream. The amount that he earned would drive anyone insane.

    His current consciousness possessed more than five thousand Hell Stones.

    In the stream, with only his head exposed, his consciousness continued to grow and finally reached a critical point.

    ¡°Almost, just a little bit more!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart roared, the whirlpool that was his Absorption Ability was swirling faster and faster.

    Suddenly the conscious realm made a clicking sound, as if it had entered a new state.

    A9-tier!

    Qin Feng had ranked up again!

    At this moment, the stream stopped washing over him and its current began to recede. He followed the current and traveled forward again.

    His consciousness had increased and it allowed him better perception of the dangers around him.

    One by one, he sailed past powerful Death Behemoths with S-tier auras.

    The tide suddenly rose and Qin Feng realised that he did not reach the slope this time. Not only that, while he could sense Bai Li¡¯s presence, the two could notmunicate with one another.

    He was rmed, his consciousness stretched out and he realized that he had entered a new ce.

    This was definitely not Dragonspine Valley, instead he had gone over that slope and reappeared on the other side.

    Not only that, the flowing stream had turned into a whirlpool that existed in the deep ocean. It swirled around enough to be a significant force but not enough to be too powerful in one direction.

    He felt as if he had just entered a vast sea.

    The surroundings made him suddenlye to a realization.

    ¡°Could it be that I have just entered Bahamut¡¯s brain!¡±

    When it came to reaching the level of an Immortal, after death, this was no longer considered as just a ¡®brain¡¯ but instead a limited existence that came from the realm of consciousness and this one was absolutely massive.

    However, there was one piece of information Qin Feng found to be very good news, which was that there were no Death Behemoths here.

    However, he was not out of the woods yet. He realized that he was unable to move and could only drift along with this vortex at the bottom of the sea!

    The scariest thing was that, with his current power, he actually felt very, very weak.

    He did not thrash about, maintaining a level of calmness and quietly soaking in the dark sea around him.

    The immense energy around him was getting absorbed..

    One day, two days...

    Three days, four days...

    Five days, six days...

    Nine days, ten days...

    Qin Feng no longer knew where he was drifting to, but his consciousness was constantly growing.

    In ten days¡¯ time, his consciousness had gotten infinitely closer to S-tier.

    The consciousness needed for A9-tier to reach S-tier was ten times of what was needed to go from A8-tier to A9-tier, but after drifting in this sea of energy for ten days, Qin Feng was getting close. It was a testament to just how abundant and powerful the energy was.

    At this moment, the drifting Qin Feng suddenly felt something different in his consciousness.

    He suddenly opened his eyes and the abundant energy around him could not stop him from viewing the world around him. In the distance, a massive entered his line of sight.

    ¡°The Immortal¡¯s core!¡±

    The Heavens would reward those who tried, he was actually here.

    Moreover, this starglobe was a shocking sight.

    The Snow Lady¡¯s ice starglobe was already huge enough, but maybe with the passage of time, energy dispersed and as time passed the ice starglobe got smaller and smaller.It was a three-hundred-meter in diameter Sacred Ice Stone.

    The one in front of him was nine hundred meters in diameter.

    Three times that of the ice starglobe.

    The waves pushed Qin Feng closer and closer toward the starglobe. His Absorption Ability became more and more frantic, as if he wanted to consume the whole.

    However, he knew that he could not do so or he would risk implosion.

    When he drifted closer, his constantly rising consciousness suddenly burst through a new height.

    S-tier!

    His consciousness suddenly increased to an innumerable amount, while strange changes happened in his conscious realm.

    Boom!

    The Sacred me Stone that he had before was the first to explode, turning into ming magma and falling onto his fire starglobe.

    The starglobe¡¯s surface began to expand in volume as a flood of magma was added to its mass.

    Boom boom boom boom boom!

    The more than three thousand Sacred Ice Stones contained in his conscious realm also exploded, forming into snow and then frost as it covered the ice starglobe, causing its size to instantly increase tenfold.

    The original size of this ice starglobe was about the same size as a fingernail, about one centimeter in diameter, but it had be ten centimeters in diameter!

    In an instant, Qin Feng sensed that this starglobe was only truly promoted to S-tier at this time, and he technically had ice abilities that had gone beyond S-tier.

    In fact, he had collected a lot of Sacred Ice Stones, whenbined it would definitely make the starglobe more than ten centimeters wide. However, the current explosion before the merge was to eliminate repeated runes and condense the extra ones.

    The starglobe became almost three times smaller than its initial size, but this was enough to mark Qin Feng as an S-tier ice ability user.

    He did not expect that this would be the case.

    ¡°No wonder people use Sacred Stones like currency, they are like power credits, you can directly use them to improve yourself!¡±

    ¡°Wait, then, what about my dark crystal core? What would that be like?¡±

    Surrounding the primary dark starglobe were tens of thousands of Hell Stones. They popped up one after another and then merged into the starglobe.

    The diameter of this starglobe started to wildly expand.

    However, this was not even close to satisfying Qin Feng¡¯s needs.

    The Absorption Ability surged forth again, as if expressing its will, as if wanting to consume the Immortal¡¯s core in front of him!

 Chapter 981 - Rising into S-Tier

    <h4>Chapter 981: Rising into S-Tier</h4>

    This, of course, was impossible.

    Qin Feng was unable to consume such arge starglobe, but under the influence of the Absorption Ability and his consciousness, the Hell Stones that surrounded the Immortal¡¯s core started to move and fly in his direction.

    It was just like that ice starglobe.

    Arge piece of Hell Stone reached his body before entering the center of his brow and exploding within his conscious realm, merging with his dark starglobe.

    The dark starglobe was increasingyer byyer, growing thicker and thicker.

    Qin Feng could not control his body, it seemed like there was some kind of orbit around the Immortal¡¯s starglobe. This allowed him to effectively collect all the Hell Stones that were on it.

    This time, he was absolutely unrestrainedpared to when he was on the ice starglobe, his consciousness was even stronger.

    It could be said that at this point Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness hadpletely reached S-tier, but again, the ck Dragon Bahamut was stronger than the Snow Lady, the starglobe farrger.

    Qin Feng suddenly shifted, snatching away even the broken Hell Stones on the surface, not nning to let any go.

    However, besides therger Hell Stones, all of these Hell Stones were ones which had been split up over the years and umted over time, and they were not inexhaustible.

    A bit of time passed and Qin Feng had spent one day around the Immortal¡¯s core¡¯s orbit.

    On that massive core, there were no longer any Hell Stones left.

    Still, he was extremely satisfied.

    His dark starglobe went from a centimeter in diameter to one whole meter in diameter!

    The volume of a sphere with one meter of diameter was one million times the volume of a sphere with one centimeter of diameter. It was unbelievable.

    One could only imagine how many Hell Stones Qin Feng had plundered

    As for the current, it was something even he could not control and it caused him to gradually leave the area. Then, his promotion into an S-tier ability user was finallypleted.

    There were levels of strength among S-tier ability users, the weakest ones only had an ability core starglobe of about two centimeters in diameter and it was filled with consciousness instead of Sacred Stones.

    Qin Feng suddenly obtained a dark core that was one meter in diameter, one could imagine just how strong that was.

    This did not mean he was the strongest. Many resource-rich species or descendants of the Immortals would naturally have obtained such resources and be even stronger than Qin Feng.

    ¡°Too bad I won¡¯t know when¡¯s the next time Hell Stones would be appearing on that dark starglobe!¡± He felt a pang of regret. He did not know when he would be able toe and excavate again, but he had an inkling that the umtion of such an amount must have taken tens of thousands of years!

    Now, the ce that attracted his attention only had energy left. After he had reached S-tier, while the energy from the Immortal was abundant, it no longer gave him that rush in feeling. He estimated that if he stayed here for one year then he would probably reach S1 tier, but that was too slow for him!

    Some people think that the ten years it normally took for an S1 tier to reach S2 tier was no time at all. Qin Feng thought that it was far too long.

    Perhaps, hunting and ying ultra beasts was the fastest way to go about it.

    With that in mind, Qin Feng had set his mind on a target once more.

    The water flowed in a peculiar direction and he orbited the core once again before being moved away. Ten dayster, he was finally shunted out of that sea and back onto that high slope.

    Wree...

    He once again saw the Death Behemoths.

    These creatures did not notice him at all and now he was not as worried about them anymore. If they tried to hinder him, he would not hesitate to fight back and try to kill them all.

    He had to follow the stream if he wanted to leave, so he did not do anything.

    Whoosh!

    Floating along the stream, Qin Feng soon reached the middle of Dragonspine Valley and at the same time, he contacted Bai Li.

    ¡°So d you¡¯re okay, but this time it was pretty dangerous. You¡¯ve reached S-tier and you said we¡¯d go on vacation together!¡± Bai Li said.

    Qin Feng was also happy.

    ¡°Yes, I remember there are some portals in the Human Alliance that lead to some peaceful realms with pleasant scenery, we can go and see them!¡±

    ¡°Yeah!¡±

    Just as the two were talking, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness suddenly sensed the auras of a few creatures.

    He realized that they were probably participating in the monthly expedition to the Dragonspine Valley.

    These people were not like how Qin Feng was, being able to absorb the energy in the water with the Absorption Ability without getting corrupted by dark runes. While the stream was a great energy boost for Qin Feng, for the others, it was considered a terrible disaster.

    ¡°I told you to not be so greedy for these things, it¡¯ll be dark soon and if the dark tidees then nobody is going back!¡±

    ¡°Oh, since you¡¯ve got time to start babbling, how about you start running!¡±

    ¡°Milord, don¡¯t leave us behind!¡±

    Two SS-tier aptitude users frantically rushed forward, there were eight S-tiers left behind them, not able to catch up to the SS-tiers in terms of speed.

    These two SS-tiers were ones that Qin Feng recognized.

    It was the pair that he encountered when he obtained the Sovereign Roar. Drakao of the Dragon-borne and Nuah of the Dopplehanded.

    It was possible that the two saw the benefit of working togetherst time they teamed up and decided to team up again. Unexpectedly, they got too greedy and did not have time to get out.

    The dark tide was naturally the stream that Qin Feng encountered. Based on the speed of the S-tiers, they were going to get hit by the water.

    Qin Feng rode the stream, it was going to reach these people¡¯s backs in a moment¡¯s notice. He did not say a single thing nor did the S-tiers notice anything.

    Ssh!

    The dark tide had reached these people¡¯s backs, and while the waters were only ankle deep, they acted as if they had encountered some kind of feral beast.

    ¡°Argh!¡±

    An S-tier aptitude user was instantly affected by the dark tide¡¯s water. His ankle could be seen turning ck and his whole person looked as if he had been drained of blood. He quickly lost weight and rapidly aged as his skin developed liver spots before turning into a dried up skeleton, copsing into the water.

    An S-tier had died violently, just like that.

    The others were absolutely terrified and ran for their lives.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness moved and took away the body¡¯s spatial rune equipment.

    There were only a few things in that equipment and he only found two Hell Stones, which were the only useful things to him.

    ¡°This is way too poor!¡±

    He tutted.

    Such was the situation. These S-tiers originally came here knowing that they were going to fight for their lives, and they knew that there was going to be possible danger. As a result, they would not have brought much, afraid of being robbed by others.

    The other seven S-tiers did not manage to survive either, Qin Feng also took away the equipment left behind among their remains.

    He followed behind Drakao and Nuah, very quickly leaving Dragonspine Valley.

    For a moment, he stood on the peak of the mountain and could see the greyish sunset in the distance as its light rays tinged the clouds with orange. It was about to be night-time.

    However, at this moment, the mountain was actually filled with aptitude users!

 Chapter 982 - Revenge of the Hasth Tribe

    <h4>Chapter 982: Revenge of the Hasth Tribe</h4>

    This was not too unexpected.

    Compared to the Human Alliance, the Dark Coalition¡¯s members were crueler and fought more viciously. Combat had be something ingrained deep in their bones.

    Everyone hade out of Dragonspine Valley, the injured left immediately, and that only left behind people who still had their bodies intact. They were waiting for the injured to appear.

    These people seemed to know that the dark tide wasing and there were still people who had not escaped.

    Unfortunately, to their disappointment, neither Drakao nor Nuah suffered any damage.

    These people were nning on leaving, but at this moment, someone else appeared on the top of the mountain.

    Before he left the dark tide, Qin Feng put on a set of dark armor and a dark cloak. While the clothes formed from the Hell Stones were indeed very useful in the dark, for everyone else it was a vast amount of fortune he had decided to wear on himself.

    An ordinary man was innocent until he got into trouble on ount of his wealth. That was the reality that Qin Feng understood.

    It just so happened that he obviously forgot one thing. The way he was right now had already been exposed.

    ¡°The ck Alps Overlord isn¡¯t dead!¡±

    This time, Shao Tai and Voodoo Lord, who had sessfully explored the Dragonspine Valley with Zolls, were the first to call out.

    The SS-tiers who came herest month also recognized Qin Feng. Last time when there was sunlight, the presence of darkness was muted and his A4-tier prowess was exposed and that drew other people¡¯s attention.

    Now, this A4-tier ancient warrior appeared behind Drakao and Nuah without so much as a scratch on him. People found that unbelievable.

    At the same time, they suspected that Qin Feng must have gotten his hands on some valuable items.

    Killing an S-tier was something they would not hold back on, but when it came to an A4-tier aptitude user, for them it would be as simple as crushing an ant.

    However, at this moment an even angrier voice came.

    ¡°So you are here!¡±

    The consciousness seemed to roar out, and a hulking Orc Lycan came crashing down.

    This was not an SS-tier aptitude user, not only that there were five S-tiers beside him and unsurprisingly, they were also Orc Lycans.

    Before they appeared, Qin Feng had forgotten that he still had the Blood Vendetta Mark on him left behind by the Orc Lycan that imed itself to be from the Hasth Tribe.

    Of course, that aura did notst very long within his dantian and it was about to lose its effect.

    If it were not for these Orc Lycans showing up, Qin Feng would really have just forgotten that the entire scenario even happened.

    ¡°And I thought it was some strong being that killed a member of my tribe. You¡¯vemitted yourself to death. I will tear you apart piece by piece, and let you know that the people of the Hasth Tribe are not something inferior beings like you can kill!¡±

    The Hasth Tribe member¡¯s howling consciousness was something that everyone could hear.

    Some people did not care, some were a bit envious. They all knew that the Orc Lycan was building up prestige with what he was saying.

    There were quite a number of strong members in the Hasth Tribe. Recently, they nned on encroaching onto Bahamut and it was rumored that they would bring in an SSS-tier aptitude user over. What was unexpected was that the tribe members were yed before their stronger members could even arrive.

    If they did not care, it was the same as giving people the impression that they were cowardly and that was absolutely not allowed.

    They were brutal people and they had wanted people to fear their name and be wary of them.

    The reasoning behind all of this eventually turned into pursuing the murderer, Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng looked indifferent, and he did not panic because of the arrival of an SS-tier.

    If they had appeared more than ten days ago or earlier and immediately attacked Qin Feng before he went up the mountain, then maybe he would be forced to run away in embarrassment or end up paying the price.

    However, everything was different now.

    ¡°Are you done talking? If you are then you can go and see your tribe then, but this time I¡¯m not getting stained by that putrid blood of yours, it stinks to high heaven!¡±

    Qin Feng taunted with his consciousness and in the next moment a dark aura erupted around his body.

    The runic energy made it hard for the S-tiers to breathe and it made the SS-tiers vaguely uneasy.

    The Hasth Tribe Orc Lycan saw how arrogant Qin Feng was behaving, and he was seething with rage. His hulking body rushed over and swung out with arge hand as a terrifying force gathered around it.

    It was a massive wolf w,rge enough to crush him with no problems at all.

    Since they had just arrived at the entrance of the cave, Drakao and Nuah were both also in the range of this massive w attack. They were victims of circumstance, but they did not dare say anything. This Orc Lycan from the Hasth Tribe was indeed powerful.

    The two dodge away instantly, avoiding the attack, but Qin Feng was unable to move away in time.

    He did not want to dodge either.

    The dark runes in the air were formed into a dragon¡¯s head, and in that split second the huge mouth opened up and dark runes burst out like a raging flood.

    ¡°Sovereign Roar!¡±

    HRAH!!!

    The dragon¡¯s roar rang out and instantly drowned out the SS-tier¡¯s w attack. This w attack was not particrly powerful, nor was it any martial art. It was just energy that the user had unleashed and wasparably different from the others¡¯.

    The Hasth Tribe Orc Lycan did not hold Qin Feng in any regard whatsoever.

    When the two¡¯s energies collided, the verdict was already set. As the w strike reached the Sovereign Roar attack, it was like a huge dragon facing off against a puppy.

    Just as the energy was knocked aside to who knows where, the roaring tide of darkness flooded toward the SS-tier.

    Boom!

    The aptitude user was suddenly sent flying, and he fell off the massive Dragontail Mountain.

    As for the other five Orc Lycans, they were originally following after the SS-tier thinking that after Qin Feng had been subdued, they could take their time in torturing him. However, they did not expect reality to give them a p on the face. It was Qin Feng who would crush them.

    ¡°Ah, I don¡¯t want to die!¡±

    ¡°Milord, save me!¡±

    ¡°No, my body!¡±

    How could five S-tier Orc Lycans withstand a move left behind by an SS-tier Immortal? They were submerged in that tide, and it was as if they were submerged inside the dark tide in Dragonspine Valley. They rapidly corroded and their life auras were snuffed out.

    All of these auras were integrated into Qin Feng¡¯s body, making him stronger.

    The energy of five S-tier Orc Lycans was like an ancient warrior¡¯s internal force. When Asteroid Assimtion was activated, it did not skyrocket his power, but it filled his dantian and made his frozen stars grow slightly.

    Everything happened in an instant, but it was shocking enough.

    ¡°He¡¯s the one who stole my chance!¡± At this time, Drakao and Nuah had this thought in their heads and they recognized the move that Qin Feng had disyed.

    The most important thing was that after leaving Dragonspine Valleyst month, they had alsoe to an agreement due to them liking their cooperation, and they had discussed the ownership of the Death Behemoth.

    When they got back, they found out that the Death Behemoth was gone and it was definitely taken by someone who had arrived faster.

    Now, the rightful master was found.

 Chapter 983 - Wraith Devil Spy

    <h4>Chapter 983: Wraith Devil Spy</h4>

    Only two options were offered before them.

    To kill, or not to kill!

    Sovereign Roar had stirred up immense fear within them. But if they were to join forces and not be tangled up with each other, they could still take down the Death Behemoth that appeared before.

    Qin Feng had mastered the Sovereign Roar. However, not only were they unafraid of it, they were angered by Qin Feng who had snatched their loot away from them.

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    Being a part of the eminent Dragon-borne inherited with the dragon bloodline, Drakao could not hold back anymore. For him, Qin Feng was just an insignificant character, how could he behave in such a provoking manner?

    Also, Drakao was one of the aptitude users that climbed the mountain with Qin Feng a month before. At that time, Qin Feng only revealed his A4-tier capability before him. He would certainly not be intimidated by such a weak physical capability from an ancient warrior.

    ¡°Indeed, the Sovereign Roar is very powerful. But you can only release it once and expose yourself to be ughtered by others. I will dig out your ability core.¡± Drakao roared in anger and sted out his dragon breath.

    But at that moment, a girl dressed in white appeared beside Qin Feng and instantly broke through space. A disc shaped spatial tunnel was formed, absorbing the dragon breath into it before disappearing.

    ¡°Spatial ability!¡±

    Drakao was shocked again.

    Fortunately, Nuah had also reacted!

    He disappeared into the shadows and moved beside Qin Feng while attacking him with eight different weapons on hand.

    ¡°Phantom Shift!¡±

    Qin Feng moved quickly and shifted to multiple locations to dodge the attacks from his opponent.

    Meanwhile, observers in the surrounding area were also shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s powerful ability. How could he handle the sudden besiege from both SS-tier aptitude users and remain unbothered?

    On the other hand, both Shao Tai and Voodoo Lord were jaw-dropped.

    Although both of them were members of the Dark Coalition, they were definitely not ignorant nor inexperienced.

    ¡°Dark abilities, ancient warrior skills, Phantom Shift, and also a gorgeousdy. This person. He is...¡± Those were significant evidence.

    The qinggong skill that Qin Feng demonstrated earlier was from Rampage Influx, and both of them had not witnessed Phantom Shift themselves.

    For the past year, there were only two people that had mastered Phantom Shift. It was a unique qinggong skill that was easily identifiable.

    Both were A-tier aptitude users that were capable of going against S-tiers, one was named Guan Jinhao, another was Qin Feng!

    ¡°He is Qin Feng! He is from the Human Alliance!¡± Voodoo Lord immediately shouted.

    However, nobody cared whether or not he belonged to the Human Alliance anymore. Actually, the Human Alliance was always weed by the Dark Coalition as they knew that they would be ughtered.

    Compared to the Human Alliance, the Dark Coalition was less restrictive and it would allow them to reap more benefits.

    ¡°Such a powerful body, I like it!¡± Zolls looked at Qin Feng affectionately, like he was his beloved one. Qin Feng felt the devilish look and was totally disgusted by it.

    Wraith Devils often behaved in such a disgusting manner.

    Zolls also felt Qin Feng¡¯s response, he thenughed and rushed forward.

    He must invade Qin Feng¡¯s body before anyone kills him, it was to secure a perfect body condition. Also, if he were to take control of Qin Feng, he would then master Sovereign Roar for himself!

    Zolls secretly appeared behind Qin Feng and tapped on his shoulder with one hand.

    Countless numbers of shadows were halted and Phantom Shift was interrupted, while both Zolls and Qin Feng stood still on the ground.

    Intense dark runes rose from Zolls¡¯ body, channelled through his arm and went into Qin Feng¡¯s body. A pool of dark mist then covered Qin Feng¡¯s skull.

    It was clearly visible that a thin opening was cracked open in between Qin Feng¡¯s eyebrows.

    Zolls¡¯ spiritual invasion had pried into Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm.

    However, would Qin Feng get caught so easily?

    Of course not. It was an intentional mistake made by Qin Feng.

    It was the morphed image of the Wraith Devil Zolls.

    Before the death of a human, the conscious realm would remain in a minimized state. It was impossible for Zolls, who was a spiritual shadow that was about one meter in height to fit into the consciousness starglobe of an S1-tier aptitude user that was only about ten centimetres in size. One could easily imagine the aftermath such a massive creature would cause.

    The destructive fluctuation would be like the arrival of a giant beast on a starglobe.

    As soon as Zolls swallowed the entire ability core, the consciousness and soul of the person would then be transferred and entirely incorporated into Zolls.

    However, as soon as Zolls entered and arrived there. He was struck dumb by the size of the starglobe that was about the size of his.

    ¡°This is impossible!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s physical capability was only A4-tier, he would require the consciousness of an S-tier to release Sovereign Roar. But unexpectedly, the size of the ability core was appalling and it was about the same size as his.

    External appearances of an ancient warrior would demonstrate physical capability, while the internals would represent internal energy performance.

    When backed by intense internal energy, one could output more powerful attacks.

    Ability users only showcased consciousness to the external view, while their internals would depend on their ability core. The higher the amount of runes possessed, the stronger they would be.

    However, it had never been expected that Qin Feng would be so powerful.

    ¡°I must thank you for being so generous!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness wrapped around his dark starglobe. His spiritual form stretched higher and appeared as a three-meter tall giant before Zolls!

    Although it was just three meters high in the minimized realm, Zolls¡¯s senses still perceived it as thirty thousand meters in height.

    ¡°Absorption Ability!¡±

    Ability explosion!

    The spiritual form established by Qin Feng opened its mouth like it was about to devour heaven and earth. It then took a bite of Zolls¡¯ spiritual form.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡± Zolls¡¯s anguished soul let out a miserable shriek. But the shouting was unable to stop Qin Feng¡¯s absorption. In a blink of an eye, the soul formed by consciousness was devoured by Qin Feng and his consciousness instantly spiked by one third of his total amount.

    It seemed like a prolonged period in the conscious realm. But in the outer realm, it was just a split second.

    Everyone thought it would undoubtedly be Qin Feng¡¯s death, and Zolls would benefit from it. But in the next moment, a vortex appeared at the centre of Qin Feng¡¯s eyebrows, followed by Zolls¡¯ miserable shriek and the incision of soul energy.

    Zolls was wounded to his core.

    Of course, Zolls had yet to reveal his backup n. Perhaps, he felt that he had already paid enough tribute to attack Qin Feng with half of his consciousness. Unexpectedly, he had lost half of his soul and hisbat energy had plunged greatly.

    Zolls was wounded, but Qin Feng was energized and he had replenished the consumed consciousness when releasing the Sovereign Roar earlier.

    In the next moment, a long sword appeared on Qin Feng¡¯s hand and a silver scabbard was instantly drawn out.

    ¡°Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    After drawing out the scabbard, hundreds and thousands of spirits sted out and drowned Zolls.

    Zolls¡¯s body was instantly disseminated by the glowing de, exposing his soul that had gone into a rampage!

 Chapter 984 - Slaughtering SS-tiers

    <h4>Chapter 984: ughtering SS-tiers</h4>

    In an ordinary world, Wraith Devils were capable of transforming into horrifying consciousness monsters.

    The original form of Zolls was at least above a thousand meter in size.

    However, when he was expanding at maximum capacity, he was submerged by the horrifying amount of Thousand Spirit Chain Rend that skyrocketed.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber and Spirit Chain Rend were both spirit-controlling elements.

    Before Zolls could continue with his miserable shrieks, his massive body had already submerged into countless spirits. Smoke sted up the sky from the peak of the Dragontail Mountain and shocked other SS-tier aptitude users in the area.

    Boom!

    SS-tier aptitude user, Wraith Devil Zolls, annihted!

    Qin Feng, annihting an SS-tier!

    Consciousness exposed in the area was absorbed by Qin Feng, fueling another spike to his own consciousness by one third of the total amount.

    Nuah was intimidated by Qin Feng¡¯s glowing de, he had to fall back and was afraid to get close. But he definitely did not expect Qin Feng to take Zolls down so easily!

    ¡°Hiss!¡± Nuah took a deep inhale and even thought of giving up.

    But Qin Feng continued to fight harder.

    ¡°Bai Li, trap them!¡± Qin Fengmanded.

    Bai Li immediately followed the order and released Cubic sp to trap Drakao and Nuah within.

    Qin Feng¡¯s follow up steps were extremely quick.

    ¡°Rampage Influx!¡±

    Qin Feng sprinted forward at high speed while an SS-tier aptitude user was fleeing in a crazy speed before him.

    It was the SS-tier Orc Lycan.

    Despite being besieged by three SS-tier aptitude users, Qin Feng was still able to take down a troublesome Wraith Devil. The Orc Lycan instantly knew that Qin Feng was the wrong target to mess with.

    With his current capability, he was even more reluctant to risk his life. As courageous as he was before, he seemed even more panicked now.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Cold Whisper of Death and other rted abilities were already capable of killing an S-tier. Of course, his Sovereign Roar would suffice to kill an SS-tier aptitude user. The Lycan could barely survive anymore as he had already used his life-saving skill during the dark tide earlier.

    How could Qin Feng let this opponent get away?

    His speed soared to pursue even faster.

    The pursuitsted long enough until both of them had unexpectedly gone down Dragontail Mountain.

    Meanwhile, night had fallen and those SS-tiers that wanted to enjoy the bustling scene also followed and went down.

    Chop!

    Qin Fengnded a sh.

    ¡°Aow!¡± The Orc Lycan transformed into a giant wolf and dodged the deadly hit from Qin Feng. But it still suffered a life-threatening wound on its back.

    He stumbled a little before the Orc Lycan continued to run again.

    ¡°Little brat, you are just an S-tier, don¡¯t overestimate yourself. Stop your pursuit right now, and I will spare your life and write off all of our previous conflicts!¡±

    ¡°Heh, who are you bluffing? I doubt that anyone would believe that!¡±

    Qin Feng was not a na?ve person, nor was he afraid of revenge from anyone.

    As long as Bai Li was with him, he could go anywhere he wanted.

    ¡°This is just your final struggle!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his other hand that was not holding onto the Verdant Emperor Saber, which was then followed by a frozen st!

    ¡°Cold Whisper of Death!¡±

    The Cold Whisper of Death ability that Qin Feng had used when he was still an A-tier was actually an S-tier ability. Now that he had be an S-tier that was much more powerful than an ordinary S-tier aptitude user, the powerful ability released could even affect SS-tier aptitude users.

    All of a sudden, icy snow covered the entire mountain peak that was pitch-ck. The SS-tier Lycan that ran in front was instantly frozen still and transformed into an ice sculpture.

    Crack!

    The Lycan struggle while being trapped within the ice sculpture, powerful battle skills were released to resist the Cold Whisper of Death. The frozen seal was then instantly broken and he was on the run again.

    Indeed, it was not deadly enough for him. But he had to reactivate energy within his body, which had worsened his injuries.

    Most importantly, Qin Feng managed to catch up to him during the short pause of his escape.

    Swoosh!

    Without releasing any battle skills, Qin Feng injected his Verdant Emperor Saber with internal energy. A glowing de then suddenly appeared.

    But as soon as the glowing de was released from Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber, it then disappeared from the sky. It was followed by an instant hit on the Orc Lycan¡¯s stomach.

    Poof!!!

    These creatures had metal-like skulls and bone structure, but their waists were exceptionally weak. Regardless of whether they were as capable as SS-tier aptitude users and equipped with formidable physical capability, there would still be some part of them that revealed their weaknesses. Furthermore, he was already badly injured.

    The glowing de pierced through his stomach and directly struck the heart of the Orc Lycan.

    As it was merged with spatial beast materials, the Verdant Emperor Saber was embedded with spatial energy that would neutralize most of the defense mechanisms.

    All of a sudden, the glowing de had impaled through the heart of its opponent.

    Boom!

    The Orc Lycan instantly copsed and energy began dissipating. Then, it transformed into the original Orc Lycan form from his giant Lycan shape. However, he was no longer as tall as when he first appeared.

    He tumbled on the ground like a battered beggar.

    A giant wound was exposed on his stomach, with his crushed internals and impaled heart.

    ¡°The Hasthi Tribe, will not...¡±

    The Orc Lycan seemed to have something else to say, but he was silenced by another dark ability released by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Finger of Death!¡±

    A finger was pointed toward the middle of the opponent¡¯s eyebrows, channelling dark runes onto his body. Then, his body began to decay at a clearly visible speed. Also, Qin Feng gathered the saturated blood for himself.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng conveniently absorbed energy from the opponent¡¯s body, merging into his internal energy to strengthen his frozen starglobe. Qin Feng had set himself a horrifying foundation, his next advancement would require much more than what he had obtained. One or two SS-tier aptitude users would certainly not suffice for his advancement.

    However, killing two continuously was somewhat fruitful for him.

    Now, not only did Qin Feng not seem to be exhausted at all, he was at an optimum state.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness shrouded around the entire mountain peak. Meanwhile, Drakao and Nuah managed to break free from the Cubic sp on the peak. As soon as they appeared, Qin Feng had already killed two SS-tiers.

    All of a sudden, both of them were scared out of their wits.

    ¡°Everyone, this is a spy sent by the Human Alliance. Perhaps he is eyeing the Bahamut continent. We must kill him to nip the bud!¡±

    Drakao began to rope in the others for support.

    At that moment, all the SS-tier aptitude users took steps back like they did not want to participate in it.

    More importantly, it was already night time!

    The final stray of light sank into the ground while mist began to form on the Dragontail Mountain. Horrifying giant beasts would begin to roam across the mountains of the Dragonspine Valley, and the aptitude users did not want to encounter them.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Nuah warned while carefully falling back. He stayed away from Qin Feng¡¯s vision and took a different route to retreat from the other side of the hill.

    Qin Feng did not pursue him.

    He was still incapable of restraining an SS-tier aptitude user that intended to leave.

    However, Qin Feng could still restrain the others from leaving.

    Qin Feng shed into the shadows and secretly appeared behind two S-tier aptitude users.

    Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai.

    Qin Feng had already retrieved his Verdant Emperor Saber and his hands were on both of the shoulders of Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai.

    ¡°Both of you, do you think you can still leave after finding out my true identity?¡±

    Qin Feng sneered. Since both of them had witnessed Qin Feng killing SS-tiers, they already had no intention to go against him. But they knew that it would not end well for them as they had already found out about Qin Feng¡¯s true identity.

    They were hoping that the other SS-tier aptitude users would gang up against him. But surprisingly, they chose to retreat.

    Both of them wanted to escape. However, never in a million years could they escape from the Bahamut continent without support from spatial beasts and SS-tier aptitude users.

    Now, they ended up in Qin Feng¡¯s hands.

 Chapter 985 - Soul Control

    <h4>Chapter 985: Soul Control</h4>

    ¡°No, don¡¯t kill me, Qin Feng. We won¡¯t tell anyone about this!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, I will pay you and provide you with resources, whatever you want. Just spare my life!¡±

    Both of them begged for their lives together.

    Qin Feng sneered, ¡°Frankly speaking, I do not n to kill both of you!¡±

    However, before both of them could have their moment of joy, dark runes began to surge from Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Horrifying dark runes were channelled along Qin Feng¡¯s arm and merged into the bodies of Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai.

    It was a familiar scene.

    The same method used by the Wraith Devil!

    Qin Feng had devoured a Wraith Devil, his consciousness soared to an insane level and he had even mastered the trick from his victim.

    ¡°Soul injection!¡±

    Powerful consciousness broke into the spiritual territories of both of the victims.

    Located in between the centre of eyebrows of the ability user and the dantian of the ancient warrior.

    A majestic figure appeared in the mind of Voodoo Lord; it was Qin Feng at three meters tall. Visualized in the minimized realm, ordinary SS-tier aptitude users were magnified to triple their size. If their true mass were to be considered, it would have already been multiplied to an excessive level.

    Voodoo Lord¡¯s soul was in the form of a tiny and weak green core. It was exactly like the size of a walnut that could be easily crushed into pieces.

    Qin Feng extended his finger and pointed toward the core.

    Then, an array of unique imprints was left on it. Voodoo Lord felt that he was no longer who he was, and he had been enved by Qin Feng.

    Simrly, Shao Tai had the same experience.

    Crack marks began to form on the dantian, allowing the invasion of Qin Feng¡¯s giant soul. Voodoo Lord¡¯s internal energy starglobe that was much smaller had no chance in resisting it, and Qin Feng instantly took control!

    Disregarding the seemingly lengthy process, only several seconds had passed in the outer world and Qin Feng¡¯s controlling hand had already returned.

    In the next moment, both Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai kneeled down before Qin Feng.

    ¡°My lord!¡±

    They seemed fearless and extremely sincere, like they were ready to risk everything for Qin Feng.

    Both of them were still having their original bodies. But from deep down in their souls, they had beenpletely controlled. None of them had any means of resistance.

    ¡°It is better to address me as the ck Alp Overlord from now on!¡± Qin Fengmanded.

    ¡°Yes, Overlord!¡±

    Both of them revered Qin Feng from the bottom of their hearts. They would certainly address him with his name, but only with an honourable title.

    ¡°Overlord, this ce is not safe. Although you were courageous enough to kill the powerful figure from the Hasth Tribe. But the Hasth Tribe has their eyes on Bahamut, and they will be sending an SSS-tier over here. It is better for us to take shelter!¡± Voodoo Lord suggested.

    During Qin Feng¡¯s battle against the Orc Lycan, he had also received a simr threat from his opponent. Now that he heard it again from the Voodoo Lord, he knew he had to do something about it.

    Qin Feng had achieved S-tier in both his internal energy and consciousness, the next requirement would be on his physical capability. Actually, the Bahamut continent was a strategic location to be stationed at as there were monthly expeditions into the internal territory.

    However, upon Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, he had been thinking of a perfect way of transforming himself.

    Taking on the path of an Immortal was much more horrifying than he had expected. If he was not strict enough, it would be an impossible level to attain.

    Hence, upon his sessful consciousness advancement to S-tier, Qin Feng¡¯s first priority was to increase his physical capability.

    Only by achieving an S-tier physical state, would he then be able to minimize the gaps within him and maintain the bnce.

    After the incident with the Hasth Tribe, Qin Feng had made up his mind.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, then!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    Shao Tai seemed a little bothered as he suggested, ¡°Since Zolls is already dead, Overlord, please wait for a moment. Let me see if there are any other SS-tier aptitude users that could bring us along!¡±

    However, the sun had already dipped below the horizon. Shao Tai recovered from the life-threatening moment earlier and he was a bundle of nerves as the feeling of unease struck him.

    ¡°No need for that, this is Bai Li, mydy. At all times, serve her like how you should serve me!¡±

    Shao Tai and Voodoo Lord immediately saluted Bai Li.

    ¡°It is still unsafe to return to the spatial station, let¡¯s return to the original realm directly!¡± Bai Li suggested.

    ¡°Agree!¡± Qin Feng nodded in agreement.

    Previously, the location was unreachable as Bai Li did not have the spatial waymark. From thereon, Bai Li could just open up the spatial passage at Qin Feng¡¯s will. Passing through the void would eliminate the involvement of the Dark Coalition.

    Then, Bai Li opened up the spatial passage to allow their return to the original realm.

    For their exit, Bai Li had selected a location in the Dark Citadel.

    It was their initial location when they left.

    Upon returning to the Dark Citadel during night time, the corrosive and oppressive dark runes from the surroundings had disappeared. But they also felt the disappearance of energy sources from the air.

    As they were used to the abundance of energy sources on the Bahamut continent, the return was like taking fish out of water. Breathing became difficult and their presence was disharmonious with the surroundings.

    Qin Feng looked at Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai, and hemanded, ¡°Now, just return to your area and dere your alliance with the ck Alp Overlord. From now on, your organization will be associated with the Dark Citadel, and resources should be submitted here!¡±

    Qin Feng did not even bother to specify his level of authority. They were totally submissive to him, like two puppets.

    ¡°Yes, Overlord!¡± Both of them immediately nodded.

    ¡°Go, you may excuse yourselves!¡±

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Both Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai left.

    The trip to the Bahamut continent was a fruitful one for Qin Feng. He had attained his identity as an ability user, and even consolidated a massive starglobe that wasparable to an SS-tier aptitude user.

    Now, he should get himself a good rest.

    As Bai Li suffered a long period of boredom, the return to their original realm was so exciting that she could not help whooping.

    ¡°Don¡¯t forget about your promise to go on a trip with me!¡±

    ¡°Of course, I have not forgotten about it. Take a short rest, and we will be on the move!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡± Bai Li nodded.

    Although he said rest, Qin Feng was still busy with something else. He activated hismunicator and gave out his chain ofmands.

    Qin Feng was no longer the same person that he was before. With the massive organization and resources under his control, he was no longer a single entity.

    ¡°Elder Xue, any recent incidents in the organization?¡±

    ¡°President, everything is in order. Do you need me to report my recent tasks?¡±

    ¡°No need for that, you may carry on and manage them!¡± Qin Feng answered.

    Then, Qin Feng made another call on hismunicator and it was immediately picked up from the other end.

    ¡°President, how can I serve you?¡± Wang Chen appeared on the opposite side.

    ¡°How is the progress on Dragon Ind? Any unusual incidents there?¡± The focus was on the fissure and the ship. Now that Qin Feng had achieved S-tier, his next visit would definitely yield more rewards.

    ¡°I am monitoring closely. But the appearance of the fissure has reduced, and I haven¡¯t seen what you told me to watch out for!¡±

    ¡°Got it, just continue on with your task!¡±

    Then, Qin Feng called Chu Fan and asked about recent issues on the experiments and the restricted realm. He even checked on the status of the spirit awakening potion for Z and other rted matters.

    Lastly, before ending the call, Qin Feng felt an unusual presence from the outside of the vi.

    It was Fire Phoenix and Fateless. Both of them noticed that the lights in the vi were turned on and they knew that it was the return of their master¡ªck Alp Overlord.

 Chapter 986 - Omnesflores

    <h4>Chapter 986: Omnesflores</h4>

    ¡°Come in!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Fire Phoenix and Fateless pushed open the door lightly and walked in.

    ¡°My Lord!¡±

    ¡°My Lord!¡±

    Both of them were reverent in greeting Qin Feng, with no bodynguage that could be construed as offensive.

    ¡°I see. So, the auction is over. Were there any troublemakers?¡±

    He Tianxing was dead, and the news of the change of the master of the Dark Citadel would spread far and wide. As such, it was natural that people woulde visit the Dark Citadel to check it out. And with an increase in visitors, there were bound to be troublemakers in the mix.

    Fire Phoenix shook her head. ¡°No. The visitors this year have been behaving well on the ind.¡±

    Fateless responded with some bootlicking, ¡°Indeed. Hell Ind and the Dark Citadel are ruled by the great ck Alp Overlord after all! So, obviously, no one dares toe here to stir up trouble!¡±

    Still, he was kind of right. Even Faceless Lord had died trying to bring Qin Feng down. No one dared to cross him now, especially on his turf. Doing so would mean one had a death wish. If one wanted to try taking on the ck Alp Overlord, they would need to consider if they had the ability to handle someone who could y an S-tier assassin in an instant.

    ¡°My Lord. I have received news that Voodoo Lord and Boat King Shao Tai are extending their invitation for coboration. Should we agree to it?¡±

    ¡°Sure!¡± Qin Feng was not surprised. In fact, this was something that he had pushed to happen.

    ¡°Yes, My Lord! And this is the result from the auction this time.¡± Fire Phoenix handed a document over to Qin Feng.

    Of course, the things that were listed on the document did not look much to Qin Feng, who once dwelled in the Dark Coalition.

    ¡°From now onward, I want you all to collect Sacred Stones and anything rted to that. Spare no expense in getting them. Oh, crystal cores too! Get as many crystal cores as you can¡ªespecially dark-type ones!¡±

    It was not difficult to acquire various kinds of crystal cores. With the aid of the Sage Fruit, Qin Feng could cultivate other types of rune abilities this way.

    The only type of rune abilities that he could not acquire was the light type. After all, Qin Feng was notpatible with light abilities due to his affinity to dark runes.

    Besides, there was a certain event that was about to happen in just a few months. Qin Feng did not want to miss it. After his reincarnation in this lifetime, Qin Feng could finally get his hands on reaping benefits from this opportunity.

    Although Fire Phoenix and Fateless did not understand what Qin Feng wanted to do, they still nodded and received his orders obediently.

    ¡°Alright. Now, leave me. I¡¯ll need to prepare for another journey that¡¯s a few days away.¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Yes, My Lord!¡±

    Fire Phoenix and Fateless replied meekly. They did not dare to disobey Qin Feng. And there was no need to ask their boss to stay on the ind too¡ªthe fact that they had a boss this powerful was enough to stop anyone from looking for trouble on their turf.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li rested a night on Hell Ind, then they left.

    Bai Li was quite curious about the Human Alliance herself. As such, she wanted to visit the ce. However, on the next day, Qin Feng had one peculiar problem. ¡°Would the Human Alliance allow an ultra beast to enter their lobby though?¡±

    Even though Bai Li looked like a human right now, at the core of her existence she was still an ultra beast. And there were bound to be a lot of strong human champions in the Human Alliance. As such, if she stepped into that ce, there was a 100% chance that she would be found out.

    ¡°It¡¯s alright. I don¡¯t really need to go to the Human Alliance. I can lock onto your dimensional coordinate. When you¡¯re there, so long as I infuse my being¡¯s energy into you, I can still sense your surroundings there.¡± Bai Li raised a hand and summoned a ray of silver beam onto Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    Qin Feng did not evade it. In an instant, he saw a silver fox¡¯s rune sign appear on his palm.

    ¡°This looks like the Blood Vendetta Mark the Hasth Tribe has.¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Heh, that? That stupid thing is useless. They can only detect their Blood Vendetta Mark via smell. Mine can be detected by me wherever you go!¡±

    ¡°Yes, yes, our Bai Li is the best indeed!¡± Qin Feng lightly swiped Bai Li¡¯s nose with his finger before taking out the silver card that could teleport him to the Human Alliance¡¯s headquarters.

    In a fling, the card had morphed into a spatial door. Seeing this, Qin Feng walked through it. Then, an unfamiliar vi appeared in front of him. It was weird. He had been here before and yet this looked so unfamiliar.

    ¡°Wee home, Master.¡± a robotic voice suddenly rang next to him.

    Qin Feng could sense that this robot was quite intelligent. Still, whenpared to the robo-dog from the Perished Lands, its conscience was still a few notches lower in level. Still, this was enough for it to serve its purpose.

    ¡°I want to find a realm. A realm with a good view to call home.¡±

    Qin Feng was not going to tell it that he wanted to go for a vacation. ¡°Vacation¡± was a foreign notion to him. Only civilians could enjoy a vacation¡ªonly people who had the free time and mood could do that.

    And Qin Feng felt that even though the people here had reached S-tier, they would still want to utilize the resources they had to prepare a good life for their families.

    ¡°Browsing. Browsing. There are 2134 realms that match your requirements. The top ten of these realms are the Xanada, Spherica System, Starbulous Lands...¡±

    Qin Feng took a look at the catalogue that the robot had prepared and took in a big breath.

    ¡°Xanada? The homeworld of an Immortal?¡±

    This realm was huge and vast. However, there was only one that could sustain life. And this was the Xanada¡ªthe home of Xanada Morine.

    Humankind had dwelled on this for three hundred thousands of years.

    Due to having the protection of an Immortal, the had an infinite amount of resources with nearly no danger at all. Right now, there were about 60 billion people living there.

    The was a peaceful, fruitful heaven.

    However, Qin Feng did not feel good about dwelling on a that had an Immortal. Although he would not do anything to offend the Immortal, there was no guarantee that things would not turn ugly at all.

    As such, Qin Feng crossed out the Xanada despite how much of a heaven it was.

    Then, as he read on, Qin Feng realized that the top ten were the realms that were protected by Immortals. This was quite understandable too. No other species and ultra beasts would dare to attack these realms. If they tried, they would not even be able to put a dent on these worlds¡¯ dimensional fortresses.

    Therefore, Qin Feng crossed them all out too.

    When he looked at the twenty-third one on the list, Qin Feng felt that this was the ce.

    ¡°Ah, the Omnesflores!¡±

    This realm did not only have just one¡ªthe Omnesflores. Instead, this world also had other dimensional cracks linking it to various kinds of realms too. There were others that could sustain life, and the was just one of the many.

    Nheless, Omnesflores was a rather unique.

    The was brimming with wood runes and energy, probably acquired from an obscenely powerful wood-type beast that died here. This resulted in a vast quantity of flora and fauna emerging on the, giving it a lot of life.

    More importantly, this realm had recently stabilized.

    A stabilized realm was not like a newly created realm like the Bahamut continent¡ªa realm that could be invaded easily due to not having much defenses. A stabilized realm was also not like a dying realm like Qin Feng¡¯s¡ªa realm that other creatures and species could also invade easily due to the realm weakening.

    Instead, a stabilized realm was so sturdy that its own natural spatial sturdiness could already prevent other low-tier ability users from getting in. No dimensional cracks could appear on it too.

    Thus, it was almost impossible to see any invasion from creatures from other dimensions.

    And of course, the most important thing of all¡ªOmnesflores was a rather beautiful.

 Chapter 987 - A Vacation with Bai Li

    <h4>Chapter 987: A Vacation with Bai Li</h4>

    ¡°Here!¡±

    Qin Feng had decided.

    Still, deciding to go was just the beginning. It was not easy to get permission to enter a realm because no realm would want an entity that was too powerful for them to handle to appear on theirnds. Doing so would mean destroying the natural bnce of their world.

    Thankfully, the Omnesflores was a realm that was quite epting of migrants.

    As such, Qin Feng took out hismunicator and sent out an application.

    Beep! Beep! Beep!

    ¡°Wee, S-tier ability user Qin Feng! Your application has been processed and approved!¡±

    Qin Feng took a look at the rules that had been sent to him.

    It stated that he needed to pay 20,000 power credits to enter the. And he could only stay for one month. During his stay, he was forbidden from killing any native settlers on the. Of course, he was forbidden from killing the innocent too.

    If he were to break the rules, the Human Alliance would issue a bounty on him.

    These rules were quite reasonable so there was no problem for Qin Feng to obey them.

    Then, Qin Feng keyed in the coordinate into the dimensional door of his vi, and in an instant it was now connected to Omnesflores.

    He walked through the door, and in a daze Qin Feng had arrived at a massive lobby. There were doors made of light around him. In fact, there were more of these doors than the ones he found in front of the Human Alliance¡¯s headquarters.

    Huh. As expected of the that had the highest migration rate.

    Even though he did not get to see the view outside yet, from the smiles on the people around him, Qin Feng could see that they lived rather happily in this realm.

    ¡°Hello. Are you Qin Feng, the S-tier ability user? I¡¯m your receptionist. If you may, please follow me toplete the arrival protocol.¡± A man meekly approached Qin Feng.

    Omnesflores was located in the Lan Xang Realm. There were over hundreds ofs that could sustain life; thus, they were all receiving immigrants from other realms all year round. As for Omnesflores, it was a that was being handled by an SSS-tier. Despite that, an S-tier was still a rather unique existence in itself. As such, they would usually send these S-tiers their own receptionist to wee them.

    ¡°Alright.¡±

    ¡°Mr Qin, if I recall correctly, there is a second visitor mentioned in your application. May I ask where she is?¡±

    ¡°Ah, my apologies. Give it a moment. She¡¯ll be here soon.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s... It¡¯s alright, Sir. There¡¯s no rush, Sir.¡±

    The receptionist did not expect an S-tier like Qin Feng to speak so courteously to him. As such, there was an anxious tone in his reply.

    A few secondster, a bright door of light emerged from thin air. Then, Bai Li leaped out of it giddily.

    When Qin Feng activated the dimensional door earlier, Bai Li had already determined the coordinate the door was leading to. As such, she just blinked straight through the door from where she stood¡ªmaking it seem like she had walked into the realm through the door on the other side.

    It was just a simple, fun trick that a spatial beast could do.

    ¡°That¡¯s her.¡±

    Qin Feng said as the gorgeous Bai Li hopped eagerly to his side and grabbed his arm.

    ¡°So, this is the ce?¡±

    ¡°Yes, it is. But first we¡¯ll need toplete the arrival protocol. Then, we can go out and y. Perhaps we can even get ourselves a tour guide. You know, to visit the ce using our five senses instead of consciousness, like proper tourists.¡±

    ¡°Sure! Visiting around using conscious scanning is so boring!¡±

    The receptionist did not understand a word they were saying. All he felt right now, however, was a great sting of envy. Qin Feng looked so young but he was already an S-tier. Right now, the receptionist could only ascend to E-tier.

    To top that off, Qin Feng even had a girlfriend of goddess-tier beauty! This was so unreal!

    ¡°Alright. We¡¯re all here. Let¡¯s go.¡± Qin Feng said to the receptionist.

    ¡°Ah! Of course! This way, Sir.¡±

    Afterpleting the paperwork, Bai Li also received amunicator that she could use on this. Qin Feng did not need a newmunicator because the Human Alliance¡¯smunicator could be used in a wide range of realms that were connected to them.

    Theirmunicators also had a trantion function¡ªthis would allow the locals to understand them when they talk to them¡ªthey only needed to fuse their consciousness into themunicator for it to work.

    After leaving the lobby, Qin Feng and Bai Li stepped out into the world.

    ¡°Mister, is this your first time here? Do you want flowers? If you want, I can also be your tour guide!¡±

    A boy carrying a few bouquets of golden roses approached them.

    ¡°I¡¯ll buy your flower. You don¡¯t have to be my guide though.¡± Qin Feng took out 10 power credits and gave them to him with a smile.

    The boy was shocked when he saw this.

    The conversion rate of power credits to the currency on Omnesflores was 1 to 40,000.

    Basically, Qin Feng had just handed him four hundred thousand in cash in one go! This much money would drastically improve his life!

    After hesitating for a moment, the boy shook his head. ¡°Mis... Mister! There¡¯s no need for this much money.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s alright, boy. In a few more years, your abilities will be awakened too. I¡¯m rooting for you.¡± Qin Feng said.

    Although the boy was d in a piece of clean clothing, Qin Feng could tell that his clothes were old and ragged. The boy would not wear something like that if his family was not struggling financially. And if his family was not struggling financially, the boy would not be selling flowers on the streets.

    ¡°Thank...! Thank you! Oh, thank you, Mister!¡±

    Qin Feng was once a member of the slums during his childhood. The boy reminded him of himself. Thus, there was no way he could just stand idly by and not do anything.

    ¡°Thank you, Mister!¡± the boy handed the golden rose to Qin Feng and asked, ¡°May I know your name, Mister? I will repay you in the future when I get the chance!¡±

    ¡°My name is Qin Feng.¡±

    Qin Feng did not hide his identity in front of the boy. It would take a great deal of time before this kid would ascend to S-tier. Perhaps he would never venture out of Omnesflores all his life too. As such, Qin Feng did not really expect the boy to repay him at all. Giving him his name was so that the boy would have a life goal to work toward.

    ¡°My name is Daybloom. Mr Qin, take this map. If you¡¯re touring around, it would be a great help to you.¡± Daybloom handed a map to Qin Feng. It was basically a tour-guide map.

    Taking a nce at the map, Qin Feng epted it and thanked the boy.

    Then, he looked around and saw a sea of flowers.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go there first!¡± Bai Li said eagerly.

    ¡°Sure!¡±

    Qin Feng summoned his hover-ride and left the ce with Bai Li, leaving Daybloom standing on the ground as he held dearly onto the power credits.

    In a few seconds, Qin Feng and Bai Li had reached the sea of flowers. There were various kinds of flowers around, blooming in various kinds of colors. The ce was so beautiful and peaceful.

    This was a ce like no other. They could never find a ce like this on Earth because there were already many ces being invaded by ultra beasts.

    ¡°Oh, look! There are also people here too! Oh, they¡¯re taking pictures!¡±

    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll take your pictures too!¡±

    Qin Feng took out hismunicator and took Bai Li¡¯s picture¡ªthe picture was badly taken. This was understandable. He had never taken pictures that needed to look good. All the pictures he had taken all this while were just for submitting reports toplete missions.

    ¡°Hahahaha! You¡¯re so bad at this! I¡¯ll do it!¡± Bai Liughed at Qin Feng as she called in a drone to take their pictures.

    It was a rare, peaceful moment that they both had to let off some steam.

    At night, Qin Feng and Bai Li went to a high-end hotel that Qin Feng had booked earlier. The ce had outdoor hot springs, where they could enjoy themselves in a hot spring while enjoying the pink-blue flowers scattered in the sky.

    Then, after having fun for a whole day, Bai Liy happily in the bathroom¡¯s bathtub, humming to a song.

    Qin Feng, too, was lying in the water next to her. He finally rxed all his nerves and muscles after so long. In fact, now that he thought about it, there was something peculiarly weird. The air felt sweet, rxing, and excitable. This smell... it came from Bai Li who was next to him.

    This was the smell of an essential oil she had used before hopping into the tub¡ªan essential oil that had aphrodisiac properties.

    Ah, well... this was a famous hotel for couples after all. And this was one of their best suites.

 Chapter 988 - Omnesflores Under Attack

    <h4>Chapter 988: Omnesflores Under Attack</h4>

    Still, this thing had little effect on Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Essential oils like these usually did its aphrodisiac magic by boosting one¡¯s reproductive potentials or boosting one¡¯s kidneys. This would not do much for Qin Feng due to how much he had enhanced his body.

    However, today was a different day.

    He had been doing non-stop hunting and training, umting stress for days. Qin Feng was reaching his limits. Deep down in his subconsciousness, he needed some means to let off steam.

    ¡°Bai Li, you¡¯ve grown so much.¡± Qin Feng said.

    Bai Li tilted her head and beamed up a smile. ¡°Oh, I believe I¡¯ve grown much more than you!¡±

    ¡°Well, you¡¯re not wrong.¡±

    Bai Li had been with Qin Feng for three years. They had always stuck together, rarely leaving each other¡¯s side. This had strengthened their bond like no other.

    At first, Qin Feng thought of her as just a small child, fooling around like how he would with a young sibling. Nheless, despite how much of a child Qin Feng thought Bai Li was, Bai Li was already not a child.

    Right now, no matter how you looked at her, Bai Li had apparently matured fully.

    Spatial beasts could live for a long time. Bai Li had been in the dimension where time sped up twice. Adding on to the two times she was in there, one would see that her age was already about 110 years old.

    Of course, to any spatial beast species, a 110-year-old was still just a ¡°child¡±.

    However, to humans, especially to S-tiers, she was definitely an adult now.

    ¡°So, now that you¡¯ve grown, we can do something else.¡±

    ¡°And what is this ¡®something else¡¯?¡±

    Qin Feng beamed up a mischievous smile. ¡°Do you want to know? Come kiss me first!¡±

    Bai Li did not think much about it. She did not think Qin Feng was about to turn into a bad wolf.

    ¡°Teehee, sure! You can just say it straight to my face if you want a kiss, you know?¡±

    Then, as the water in the tub rippled away from her snowy skin, Bai Li inched closer to Qin Feng and pecked his face.

    Qin Feng felt a soft, warm sensation from the exquisite girl¡¯s body, provoking hisscivious desire for her even more. Without haste, Qin Feng circled his strong arm around her waist and embraced her tightly as he pulled her in for a passionate snog.

    A fog of confused yet sweet sensation clouded Bai Li¡¯s eyes.

    ¡°It¡¯s okay. Don¡¯t be afraid, Bai Li.¡±

    ¡°Afraid? What is there to be afraid of?¡±

    Bai Li tilted her head curiously. Although she did not have the faintest idea of what was going on, Bai Li could still feel an eagerness throbbing in her chest.

    A cloud of delightful blush was smeared from her gorgeous face to the root of her delicate vicle, making her as stunning as the goddess of love herself.

    Seeing the defenseless yet willing Bai Li, Qin Feng could not hold it in anymore as he lowered his head for another longing kiss, before both of them coupled their flesh in a fierce carnage of desire, satisfying their sexual needs for one another in the tub.

    Then, an ovepping of fierce water sshing and Bai Li¡¯s dulcet moans of pleasure echoed in the bathroom on and on...

    ***

    It was another fine morning.

    There was no other season than spring in Omnesflores. As such, Qin Feng was woken up by the sweet scent of flowers blown into the hotel suite from the window.

    He had not slept so well since forever!

    ¡°Hubby! Wake up! Let¡¯s go out and y!¡±

    Qin Feng stretched out his handszily; multiple loud cracks could be heard from his body as his body loosened up from the stretch.

    Then, he rolled to the side and grabbed the chirpy littledy into his embrace.

    ¡°Hehe, look at you. So energetic, aren¡¯t you? Looks like I haven¡¯t worked hard enough to satisfy you, hmm?¡±

    ¡°Teehee, stop! It tickles!¡±

    ¡°Oh, I¡¯m just getting started!¡±

    Then, the lovebirds made love to one another again. It was not until noon when they finally had enough and ventured out of the hotel for another fun adventure.

    His time on Omnesflores was probably Qin Feng¡¯s happiest days to date.

    For half a month on Omnesflores, they visited all the tourist hotspots they could find. Bai Li was beginning to feel a sliver of boredom.

    ¡°Maybe it¡¯s time for us to go home?¡± Bai Li asked.

    ¡°Are you sure you had enough? If you want, we could still stay here a little longer.¡±

    ¡°Teehee, it¡¯s okay. I heard that it¡¯s better for us to take a vacation once in a while. If we keep on enjoying ourselves and expend all the fun, there will be no more fun to enjoy in the future!¡±

    ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s collect our things and head home. We can make more preparations for the next operation if we head back early too.¡±

    Thus, they headed back to the hotel to collect their things.

    ¡°Oh! Oh! Remember that golden rose? It looks so beautiful! We haven¡¯t seen one out there at all. Perhaps we could get some of its seeds and then we could nt it ourselves?¡±

    ¡°Sure, let¡¯s go ask around.¡±

    Qin Feng and Bai Li thus headed to the streets to see if they could still find Daybloom.

    However, due to how peaceful the was, Qin Feng had not been using his conscious powers at all in thest few weeks. After looking around for a dozen minutes, Qin Feng finally realized that he had not been activating his conscious scanning abilities.

    ¡°Wow, this is what peace feels like. How rxing!¡± Qin Feng smiled before activating his consciousness and started scanning the whole city.

    Then, he saw Daybloom selling flowers on a street about ten kilometers away.

    However, the moment he found the boy, Qin Feng also sensed something else. Bai Li, too, had sensed it as she raised her head and red at the sky.

    It was then, a crimson red meteor fell from the sky.

    It was not some mere meteor too. It was a huge one. Too huge!

    Nheless, these kinds of meteors would normally burn up as it enters the¡¯s stratosphere. However, the moment it entered the stratosphere, the meteor blew up!

    Booom!

    A crimson red dyed the bright blue sky, as if the sky was wounded and bleeding.

    Daybloom, who was hustling on the streets, raised his head and stared at the sky in shock. The golden roses fell to the ground as he shook in fear.

    ¡°Ahhhhh!! We¡¯re under attack!!¡±

    ¡°Run! Run for your lives!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s the Insectoids!¡±

    People on the streets hurried to the nearby buildings for shelter as they screamed in fear. Tens of thousands of Insectoids flew out from the meteor that exploded in the sky. Not only that, these Insectoids were seemingly led by a shape-shifting beast king!

    The meteor was merely their disguise to get close to the. When they left the meteor, these Insectoids¡¯ bodies got stronger and bigger.

    If these monsters went on and attacked Omnesflores like this, it could very well wipe out the entire fleet of their defenses on their satellites on the¡¯s orbit.

    ¡°Calling the First Fleet! We are under attack! I repeat! We are under attack!¡±

    ¡°Requesting for shield activation. Quick! Those disgusting centipedes areing!¡±

    ¡°Over! Request is granted!¡±

    Vrrooom!!

    A loud machine-like voice could be heard throughout the city before a sphere of force field enveloped the entire continent. Countless cities on the were shielded by the same force field.

    Meanwhile, the Insectoids had already fallen from the sky and were littered on the ground.

    They were Bloodlust Centipedes. As soon as theynded, these creatures rushed straight to the force field and chomped onto it. As seconds went by, they were able to tear through and breach into the cities as they began their mindless ughter on the local poption.

    Daybloom kept running and running. However, he was not fast enough¡ªa Bloodlust Centipede had wriggled its way to him like the wind.

    The Centipede was not even locking onto Daybloom. All it did was move on the streets and devour everything in its path.

    This was the first time Daybloom could sense his own mortality.

    ¡°Aahhh!¡±

    Daybloom screamed out in horror as he tripped and fell onto the ground.

    Seeing that its prey had stopped moving, the Bloodlust Centipede wriggled to the poor boy excitedly.

    Daybloom felt that he should close his eyes to avoid looking at the countless moving insect legs, or the terrifying jaw...

    But he was so terrified that he could not move even his eyelids.

    Then, in a daze, the boy saw them. The generous man, who bought his flower a few weeks ago, and his beautiful girlfriend...

    That was...

    ¡°Mr Qin...!¡±

 Chapter 989 - Laboring for the Seeds

    <h4>Chapter 989: Laboring for the Seeds</h4>

    Daybloom was not mistaken.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li had teleported in front of Daybloom when the giant Bloodlust Centipede was unting its maw ready to chomp down.

    Qin Feng held his hand up and unleashed a freezing aura. Ice runes soon spread through the centipede¡¯s body.

    The Insectoid was, after all, just a C-tier beast king. It could not withstand Qin Feng¡¯s assault. A basic ice-type ability was all Qin Feng needed to freeze the monster into a giant ice sculpture.

    ¡°Ice st!¡±

    The ice-runes promptly exploded under Qin Feng¡¯s order.

    It was a beautiful st. The ice sculpture instantly shattered into a crystalline firework. Qin Feng¡¯s furrowed brows were soothed a little when the hideous-looking centipede died in such a colorful way.

    A blood-red core containing immense energy dropped to the ground. Qin Feng took a nce at it. Like the Gorefiend¡¯s core, this core seemed to enhance vitality.

    But this was not the time for examining the core. More and more centipedes were heading their way now. After Qin Feng took down one of them, its blood scent had only attracted more of its kind.

    ¡°Mr. Qin...¡± Daybloom cried hysterically. He was terrified by the centipedes¡¯ demoralizing presence. Being an ordinary teenager that had yet to awaken, his guts were crushed by the intimidating pressure.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng ignored the Bloodlust Centipedes and had Bai Li carry Daybloom as they fled.

    Schwaff!

    They disappeared into thin air and immediately reappeared on top of a building.

    Bam!

    A few soldiers crashed the door leading to the rooftop. They were stunned to see three youngsters there and shouted, ¡°Kids, get inside and hide. Don¡¯t go too far from us. This building is safe for now!¡±

    They then ignored them and began to set up their weapons.

    These men were undoubtedly gunslingers.

    A few of them were suited up in a ten-meter-high mecha. Theyunched to the sky and opened fire toward the centipedes on the ground.

    Qin Feng was not interested and turned to Daybloom. ¡°The gold roses that you sold to us earlier are very beautiful. Do you still have its seeds?¡±

    Daybloom was baffled. He would never expect that to be the first questioning out of his savior¡¯s mouth. ¡®Why does he still care so much about the flower in this situation?¡¯

    ¡°I still have it in my house.¡±

    ¡°Then, please sell them to me. Of course, you can keep some for yourself.¡± The kid could be awakened anytime, or not at all. The gold rose might be his only means of living before that. Qin Feng had no intention of taking everything away.

    Daybloom was still in shock after facing death at such a close call. Although Qin Feng had saved him in the final moment, Daybloom still had no idea how powerful Qin Feng was.

    ¡°Okay. Once the army exterminates the centipedes, I will get them for you.¡± Naturally, Daybloom dared not reject his savior¡¯s request.

    Qin Feng did not want to get involved in this dimension¡¯s affair. Besides, the scale of this battle was child¡¯s ypared to those taking ce in Qin Feng¡¯s dimension. He said mindlessly, ¡°We don¡¯t need to wait till then. Tell me where your house is. We will go and retrieve it now.¡±

    Qin Feng then called up a map and asked Daybloom to point out the location of his house.

    Daybloom hesitated for a moment, then pleaded sincerely, ¡°Mr. Qin, aren¡¯t you an aptitude user? I don¡¯t know anything about you but you seem pretty strong. Don¡¯t you think fending off the monsters is more urgent than the flower seeds now? Mr. Qin, if you help them to resist the Bloodlust Centipede, then I am willing to hand you all my seeds. Otherwise... otherwise...¡± Daybloom was looking for the right words anxiously. But he could not find anything to threaten Qin Feng with. Daybloom did not have any bargaining chip to negotiate with Qin Feng, to begin with.

    Qin Fengmented when he saw Daybloom¡¯s righteousness and bravery.

    ¡®This kid is indeed a product of a peaceful world.¡¯

    In his dimension, people resisted beast waves simply because they wanted to survive.

    But in the eyes of Daybloom, such a battle embodied responsibility and heroism. He would even despise those that run away from it, which he probably deemed as cowardice.

    ¡°All right. Guess I have tobor myself a little for your seeds.¡±

    It was unwise for Qin Feng to take action here. After all, he was not a resident of this dimension. If he showcased too much of his power, it might startle the elects of this world. Qin Feng did not want to get tangled up in unnecessary disputes.

    But since he was only dealing with Bloodlust Centipedes within a city, Qin Feng believed it would not matter much.

    ¡°Shadow Split!¡±

    Qin Feng summoned his ten servants.

    He could already make seven splits when he was at A7-tier. Ten was an upgrade but that did not it was the maximum number he could manage now.

    This was because S-tier was not just a simple evolution. The leap from A to S was greater than any previous rank-up. It was doable if Qin Feng wished to summon another ten shadows.

    Most importantly, all these shadows were S-tiers too.

    Although the true power of the shadows was masked by the dark runes, their aura was still pretty daunting. The gunslingers and soldiers that hardly minded them earlier were all turning their heads toward them now. They were perplexed and looked at Qin Feng bizarrely.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    The shadows obediently split up in all directions. The nearest Bloodlust Centipede was right under their feet. It was a C-tier beast emperor. Its body spanned more than ten-meter-long and was two-meter-tall. The hovercrafts and aircrafts parked beside the road could hardly stop its march.

    Ratatat!

    The monster¡¯s leg poked through the tar road like it was made of sponge. A mecha-riding human dived toward the centipede trying to stall it, but offered little resistance.

    Poof!

    One of the centipede¡¯s legs prated the mecha shell and pierced right through the soldier.

    Hisrades lost their cool when they saw what happened. They rushed toward the centipede, wanting to avenge their fallen brother.

    This was when one of Qin Feng¡¯s servantsnded on the head of the centipede.

    To the soldiers, that was a suicidal move. But what happened next stunned them.

    Beginning from its head, rot spread through its body segments quickly. Its body lost its initial glimmer and turned greyish. Life force was abandoning the creature rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the monster had turned into a desated specimen.

    Qin Feng¡¯s shadow scooped up the centipede¡¯s core and jumped to the next target without any dy.

    Qin Feng¡¯s current conscious power could easily cover the entire city. All beasts¡¯ lives were diminished wherever his ten deity-tier servants went.

    On top of the building, the soldiers and Daybloom gazed at Qin Feng half-astonished, half-terrified.

    Qin Feng¡¯s atrocious skills indicated that he was a dark ability user.

    Such an ability was usually unwee in most dimensions.

 Chapter 990 - A Dimensional-Scale War

    <h4>Chapter 990: A Dimensional-Scale War</h4>

    Unquestionably, Qin Feng was very, very strong.

    In less than half an hour, his Shadow Splits had solved the crisis that threatened the existence of this city. Within that span, he had killed five hundred beasts, most of them C-tier beast kings.

    Through his consciousness, Qin Feng could no longer sense any centipedes around the city.

    ¡°Return!¡±

    Qin Feng recalled his servants.

    Along with their return came the blood-red crystal cores collected from the centipedes. Not only that but the life force garnered from the beasts had flown into Qin Feng as well. Although the energy did not enhance Qin Feng¡¯s physique even in the slightest, his innate life span did expand slightly.

    ¡°All right. I think we can go and collect the seeds now?¡±

    Hua Tianye would not say no to Qin Feng now.

    However, even though Qin Feng had exterminated all the centipedes within the city, there were still countless of them surrounding the city outside the force shield. Nevertheless, it had nothing to do with Qin Feng.

    Judging by how Qin Feng had to convert his consciousness into theirnguage through hismunicator, Hua Tianye reckoned Qin Feng was not an inhabitant of Omneflores. Thus, they had no right to ask for his assistance.

    ¡°Of course. My house is over here.¡± Hua Tianye pointed at the map.

    Bai Li followed his finger and nodded. Then, in a sh, the three of them promptly disappeared from the rooftop.

    Those soldiers eyeing them were staring into empty space now. They did not even realize how or where they had disappeared to.

    ¡°Do we need to report this? The S-tier elect could perhaps help us take care of the beasts outside the city.¡±

    ¡°These are only C-tier beasts. I feel that the S-tier is not very enthused.¡±

    ¡°He is probably just a tourist. He doesn¡¯t look like hees from Omneflores.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s scary. He is still so young. I thought that they were up here to take refuge. Luckily, he didn¡¯t mind what I had said earlier.¡±

    ¡°No matter what, just dial in the report.¡±

    The news was deliveredyer byyer to the upper echelon. Soon, the militarymand center of Omneflores was bustling with activity.

    Although Omneflores was colonized by humans, this was seldom at war. Even though the had some resources on it, it was rtively limited aspared to other dimensions.

    This was ced under the watch of an SSS-tier aptitude user, while the actualmander stationed here was an SS-tier wood ability user. Another four hundred S-tier aptitude users summed up the total battle force on this.

    Fortunately, the situation was not too dire. They might lose some men but overall, this was a battle they could still sustain. Such an invasion could be resolved within a week.

    ¡°An S-tier traveler? Leave him be!¡±

    As soon as the order was issued, the entire sky above Omneflores was taken over by darkness.

    Something had blocked the light from the sky.

    They looked up and sighted an overwhelming redness across the sky.

    ¡°It¡¯s a fungal sheath! A broodmother has arrived!¡±

    Judging by its scale, the arriving broodmother was probably an S-tier beast deity.

    Themander, Leafsoul, looked grim.

    ¡°Quick, gather all the S-tier aptitude users. We have to stop the fungal sheath from entering the!¡±

    The SOS call broke out immediately.

    ***

    Qin Feng, Bai Li, and Daybloom reappeared on a deste street.

    Although this was the second time Daybloom had undergone teleportation in one day, he was still astonished by the experience.

    ¡°Is this the ce?¡± Bai Li asked.

    ¡°Yeah.¡± Daybloom nodded and led the way.

    Omneflores¡¯s condition was much, much better than Qin Feng¡¯s dimension. After all, humans were the dominant species here. Thends here had yet to be fully utilized. There were not many skyscrapers around the city, making them rare and pricey properties to own. Most of the residences here were small huts like the one Daybloom lived in.

    Daybloom¡¯s hut was surrounded by high walls. Its garden was nted full of golden roses.

    Daybloom kept only a small amount of seeds and gave the rest to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng nned to nt them in Fengli City. It would be breathtakingly beautiful.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, this crisis will pass, right?¡± Daybloom asked carefully.

    ¡°Has Omneflores not experienced such an attack before?¡±

    Daybloom shook his head. ¡°This ce has never been on the front line of war. I have never experienced such a gruesome battle living here my entire life. Although soldier recruitment and battle arena did take ce frequently, this is the first time...¡±

    Daybloom was consideredposed if this was his first time at war.

    ¡°It will soon pass.¡± Qin Feng estimated that the S-tiers on this would have no problem dealing with an assaultunched by C-tier beast kings.

    But as soon as he made the guarantee, sunlight above them was shrouded by something. Qin Feng sensed the unusual aura and looked up. The same crimson came into sight and it spread rapidly across the entire sky.

    ¡°What the hell is that?¡± Even Qin Feng was shaken by it. He was not to be med since he had never experienced such a horrific invasion. This attack was worse than any beast wave Qin Feng had faced before.

    It was a force powerful enough to annihte an entire in an instant.

    ¡°Fungal sheath! The legend is real!¡± Daybloom shouted.

    At the same time, Qin Feng¡¯smunicator rang piercingly.

    The words of the message turned into consciousness and fused into Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm.

    Like he had guessed, this was an urgent conscription.

    The marshal of Omneflores, Leafsoul, was recruiting all avable S-tiers to join the defense. He even specifically mentioned the visiting S-tiers, hoping that they could give them a hand. Any help would be appreciated and awarded ordingly once the crisis had been solved.

    Qin Feng surveyed the sky again. The sheath had now engulfed the entire Omneflores. Qin Feng now understood that the shooting star from earlier was just a diversion to distract the guards, which allowed the broodmother to create a spatial tunnel without being noticed.

    ¡®I have never encountered an SS-tier broodmother deity before.¡¯

    It was a dooming presence.

    Nevertheless, Qin Feng remained spirited. He gained nothing by killing multiple C-tier beast kings. But killing an SS-tier beast deity would not only earn him rewards from Omneflores, absorbing the aura from the beast would also greatly enhance his physique.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng was determined.

    In a sh, Qin Feng and Bai Li disappeared from the street.

    Leafsoul had sent the conscription order to the Human Alliance as well. It was necessary because an SS-tier human could never defeat a beast from the same tier.

    To win this war, they at least needed help from an SSS-tier.

    Now, they could only wait for the reinforcement toe.

    But the broodmother would not be waiting. The invasion had begun and the beast wanted nothing but to tear the apart.

    The sheath descended and entered Omneflores¡¯s stratosphere.

 Chapter 991 - One Man Show

    <h4>Chapter 991: One Man Show</h4>

    Leafsoul appeared in front of the recruited soldiers.

    This was as dire as it could get. Though a wise man should avoid fighting an undefeatable battle, Leafsoul could not stand by and let the broodmother into the. Omnesflores would be destroyed the moment the Insectoids touched down. They had to be stalled at all costs.

    The battleship at the outer rim was already executing suicidal attacks under the marshal¡¯smand. From afar, the soldiers on the ground could see sparks explode across the fungal sheath from time to time. Each spark marked the noble sacrifice of a battleship and its crew.

    ¡°Everyone, reinforcement ising from the Human Alliance. But we shouldn¡¯t sit still and wait for someone else to save us. This is ournd and we should give it our all to protect it! Stop the Insectoids at all costs!¡±

    ¡°Roger!¡±

    ¡°To battle!¡±

    Most of them responded enthusiastically.

    The few who did not were, no doubt, tourists.

    Unlike his men, they would not be budged easily by his motivational speech. There was a simpler way to earn their service.

    ¡°The one who kills the most can select an S-tier god weapon from Omnesflores¡¯s vault.¡±

    This time, even the outsiders were drawn by the offer.

    Money always spoke the loudest.

    Qin Feng was not so different from the others. Of course, he still had other purposes in mind. But any extra reward was weed and would only make him fight slightly harder.

    ¡°Board the aircraft!¡±

    The soldiers boarded arge airship as ordered. It was three times the size of the hovercraft designed by Qin Feng. But its speed, defense, and stability were definitely beyond by threefolds.

    There were about two hundred S-tiers on board. Although there should be four hundred S-tiers native to this, half of them must be having other duties on the. Discounting those that might have fallen at the frontline, the number of S-tiers on board was considered ample.

    Other than the S-tiers, there were also three thousand A-tiers listed in the troop.

    Even though A-tiers were capablebatants, their fate was probably going to be cannon fodders in a war of such scale. That was exactly what Leafsoul needed.

    Bai Li was naturally considered as one of those A-tier expendables.

    She did not care and stood close to Qin Feng. The aircraft hardly vibrated when they felt the propulsion. The aircraft took off and rocketed toward outer space.

    The re created by air friction lit the sky shrouded by a sea of red.

    In less than five minutes, the aircraft had entered outer space. Argely covered in green appeared below them. That was the Omneflores.

    Then, Qin Feng nced up and saw the approaching sheath. He was a little daunted.

    The sheath was vast. Its surface could probably submerge half of the. It was horrifying to even imagine it.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    The aircraft tried to burn the sheath by directing mes at it. Behind them, numerous jets appeared and joined the battle.

    Bands by bands of Bloodlust Centipedes were killed in midair.

    However, the Insectoids seemed to have expected resistance. More powerful centipedes quickly filled the hole. They erged insanely and lunged at the aircraft.

    These were all A-tier Centipedes.

    No matter how powerful the mother ship was, it could not sustain the attack from high-tier beasts for an extended period of time. Although its firepower was great enough to fend off the A-tier beasts, it could not exterminate such a huge number of enemies at once.

    Due to its size and design, the number of sters and cannons on this ship was fewer than that of the Floating Castle. Even the Floating Castle could only handle a few A-tiers, not a beast wave of this scale!

    ¡°Charge!¡± Leafsoul bellowed and led the charge.

    The others soon followed him out of the cabin.

    A-tiers could fight in outer space, but with handicapped strength. Only S-tiers could unleash their full potential here like when onnd.

    Luckily, the universe energy in this realm was rather calm. Qin Feng¡¯s action was not affected too much in this zero-gravity space.

    The swarm of A-tier Bloodlust Centipedes in front of him were wayrger than the C-tiers he handled earlier. Each measured at least more than a hundred-meter long. Humans were insignificant in front of such a monstrous being.

    Facing more than a thousand A-tier beasts, the aptitude users held their breaths and gripped their weapons nervously. Despite the numerical advantage, the three thousand humans had little confidence going against one thousand centipedes.

    What was the use of outnumbering your opponent when the size disparity was this huge? Nothing was barricading them from the beasts in this space. They only had themselves to depend on.

    ¡°Internal force neb!¡±

    ¡°Whirlpool of Sea!¡±

    ¡°Volcano Burst!¡±

    ¡°Storming Realm!¡±

    The A-tiers unleashed their respective elemental domains. This could at least add ayer of protection. Besides, they were all taking cover behind the S-tiers. Otherwise, they would be crushed instantaneously.

    The S-tiers held their ground. They did not want to charge recklessly.

    Qin Feng had a different idea. The A-tier beasts were exactly what he came here for. In his eyes, these were valuable supplements that could enhance his bloodline and meridian.

    Since the others did not want them, he dly took them all for himself.

    Qin Feng charged forward determinedly. The other aptitude users, on the other hand, stopped marching forward when they saw him burst to the enemy front.

    ¡°What¡¯s he doing?¡±

    ¡°Where did hee from? Why is he acting so recklessly? This is not the time for overexertion!¡±

    ¡°He is not one of us. Perhaps someone from the Human Alliance!¡±

    Naturally, none of the local S-tiers knew Qin Feng. As such, none of them tried to stop him or went with him. Qin Feng was simply too close to the beasts now.

    When he was near enough, Qin Feng unleashed his conscious power without reserve.

    The released conscious power took the form of a beast. Dark runes burst forth from his conscious realm. Death¡¯s aura thickened above Qin Feng and shaped the consciousness silhouette into a giant dragon head.

    Then, Qin Feng triggered his consciousness, and the dragon opened its maw.

    ¡°Sovereign Roar!¡±

    Qin Feng used the SS-tier ability almost effortlessly. Even the SS2-tier Leafsoul might not be this crafty.

    The destructive force of the Sovereign Roar was jaw-dropping.

    Instantly, the sound waves of the roar spread out in a fan shape and materialized into perceptible dark waves.

    The dark waves engulfed the A-tier Bloodlust Centipedes. Without much resistance, the centipedes corroded rapidly like they were being bathed in strong acid. None of them could withstand the dark waves and drown altogether in an instant.

    Qin Feng¡¯s ability covered an unbelievablyrge area. Be it beast king, beast emperor, or beast deity¡ªall were swallowed by the dark waves and reduced into nothingness.

    It was overkill to use the SS-tier ability on these centipedes.

    After drowning the vast A-tier centipedes, Qin Feng¡¯s body swelled with the excessive energy, to the point where he wished to burp out the fullness.

    Bam!

    Qin Feng¡¯s physique had evolved to A5-tier!

 Chapter 992 - The Ruthless Broodmother

    <h4>Chapter 992: The Ruthless Broodmother</h4>

    The energy from the beasts¡¯ flesh was formidable.

    Darkness slowly dispersed into thin air. The crystal cores of the centipedes were all guzzled up by Qin Feng as well.

    This was the fastest way for him to toughen his physique.

    Qin Feng had merged his Absorption Ability with the Sovereign Roar. The fleshes of beasts engulfed by the dark runes would be immediately absorbed and refined, then infused directly into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    The Insectoid army surely did not expect this. Although the one thousand centipedes were just like one drop in the ocean rtive to the entire sheath, that amount was more than enough to take down the iing aircraft. Unbelievably, the centipedes were wiped clean in one fell swoop by a single human.

    Chirr!

    Another batch of Bloodlust Centipedes approached fast.

    This time, they came with a more menacing aura. More than half of this group were S-tier Insectoids. Qin Feng could even sense S-tier beast emperors among them.

    Leafsoul perspired anxiously watching the iing assault. He had the confidence if they needed only to hold back A-tier insectoids. But facing a group of S-tier insectoids, even he as an SS2-tier had to tread carefully. Unlike battling A-tiers, he did not hold an absolute advantage against so many S-tiers at once.

    ¡®Reckless!¡¯ Soul-Leaf almost spurted expletives. He held it back because he did not have the right to fault Qin Feng. As a guardian of Omnesflores, it would be inappropriate to me someone that had just killed so many Insectoids. Qin Feng should be regarded as a hero for his action, though he had invited a direr consequence.

    Nevertheless, the other aptitude users were not in the same position as Leafsoul. They had no dilemmas and showed no reservation in chastising Qin Feng.

    ¡°What¡¯s the point of showing off, moron!¡±

    ¡°We should stall the A-tiers instead while waiting for reinforcements. Now, who¡¯s going to stop the S-tier insectoids?¡±

    ¡°He is the one asking for trouble. He should be the one bearing the consequence, of course!¡±

    The S-tier aptitude users rebuked exasperatingly.

    People always feared greater force. S-tiers were no different. Despite their status, they reacted just like any human being would when it came to superior strength.

    They would start pointing fingers at others for their inadequacy out of rage and fear.

    Qin Feng only found their responseughable.

    ¡°Stay there and watch. I would be annoyed if you guys intervened!¡± Qin Feng sneered and ced his focus back on the iing enemies.

    He had just used the Sovereign Roar a moment ago. He could not create elemental runes out of thin air. After they were unleashed, it would take some time for them to be recycled. As such, Sovereign Roar was not a viable option for now.

    However, Qin Feng had sessfully condensed a coreparable to that of an SS-tier ability user. There was no reason why he could not construct a new ability spontaneously on the spot.

    ¡®This is the perfect time for me to test my new domain!¡¯

    It was a novel skill invented by Qin Feng. His inspiration came after mastering Phantom Shift, then Shadow Splits. This was the time to put the skill to a real test.

    In response to this thought, a dark pool spread out under Qin Feng¡¯s feet.

    The liquid was as thick and as dark as ink. It was calm and continued to expand up to a few ten thousand meters wide.

    The aura of dark runes was growing more intense every second. Those who chastised Qin Feng earlier now kept their lips shut tight.

    Qin Feng was a unique S-tier ability user beyond theirprehension.

    The skill looked exactly like a domain. But none of them had ever witnessed a domain that could cover such a huge area.

    What Qin Feng had disyed was not something that an SS-tier could have done easily, let alone an S-tier.

    The dark water reached the iing centipede rapidly. It did not stop there and continued to flood their legs.

    The Bloodlust Centipedes attempted to avoid the water by moving upward. But that was not going to stop Qin Feng.

    Up!

    In the next moment, numerous human-like silhouettes rose unnaturally from the pool.

    They were not Shadow Splits because Qin Feng did not imbue his soul into them. It was also impossible for Qin Feng to control ten thousand servants simultaneously.

    Instead, they were lifeless puppets maneuvered by the simplest consciousness control. They were created with only one purpose¡ªto kill!

    It was like the afterimages Qin Feng created when he triggered Phantom Shift. If the afterimages were in vapor form used only for diversion, then the silhouettes he created this time were the more concentrated, deadlier liquefied form.

    Kill!

    Under Qin Feng¡¯smand, the silhouettes lunged toward the Bloodlust Centipedes ferociously.

    The domain of Death, Phantoms Parade.

    SS-tier domain aplished.

    Qin Feng stood at the center of the domain. The initially calm dark water began to ripple violently. Small ripples then quickly intensified into raging waves.

    The silhouettes among the waves grewrger as the waves grew stronger. From its original human size, the silhouettes magnified to twenty-meter-high in the end.

    Bam! Bam! Bam!

    The silhouettes battled the centipedes fiercely. Although being dwarfed by the gigantic centipedes, Qin Feng¡¯s killer troop did not fall into a disadvantage. Their superior battle prowess made up for the size difference.

    Even though it was not a one-sided ughter, the battle still concluded rather swiftly in favor of Qin Feng.

    The insectoids had lost twice in a row. The broodmother was infuriated and called out piercingly. The fungal that was closing in on the Omnesflores turned up and targeted Qin Feng instead.

    ¡°Retreat!¡±

    ¡°Evade the sheath!¡±

    ¡°The sheath is super corrosive. Get away from it!¡±

    ¡°Mister, get back now!!¡± Some of the aptitude users were humbled by Qin Feng¡¯s otherworldly power and acknowledged him. They warned him out of concern.

    The fungal sheath was the Broodmother¡¯s domain. It could continuously heal Insectoids but to humans, it was highly corrosive. A nutrient to one was poison to another. Qin Feng¡¯s new domain, though equally deadly, might be unable to withstand such an overwhelming force.

    After all, the opponent was an SS-tier beast deity.

    Qin Feng might be unreasonably strong in human perspective, but it was not going to be enough against the even more ruthless broodmother.

    Indeed, Qin Feng could not defeat the broodmother on his own right now. However, that did not mean he had to run away with his tail in between his legs.

    Inside his conscious realm, his ice starglobe spun rapidly.

    ¡°Frozen Age!¡±

    The retrograded fungal sheath trying to swallow Qin Feng was suddenly frozen by an unannounced blizzard.

    The fungal sheath could indeed stretch to a far area. But Insectoids at its furthest edge were usually only B or C-tiers, making the periphery much less dangerous than its center zone. As soon as the S-tier Frozen Age arrived, its outermost rim around Qin Feng was immediately frozen.

    Crack! Crack!

    Arge piece of sheath detached from the main body. It became lifeless and the cold had frozen the Insectoids on it to death.

    The broodmother was deeply frustrated.

    Initially, the broodmother hid well within the sheath covered by countless intercted Insectoids. But right now, rage had gotten the better of the beast. It sensed that Qin Feng was just an S-tier human, a petty being it had easily destroyed and swallowed numerous times in the past.

    As such, it was determined to kill this one too.

    The broodmother thus came out from hiding by removing its Shapeshifting skill. Its hideous body grew scarilyrge.

    This was the first time Qin Feng hade face to face with such a ruthless creature. The behemoth was about thirty thousand meters long!

    It might be minute among the stars, but that was not something an even tinier human could deal with!

 Chapter 993 - Blooming Lord

    <h4>Chapter 993: Blooming Lord</h4>

    Qin Feng did not wish to face the horrible beast alone.

    ¡°Marshal Leafsoul, it¡¯s your turn now! Do you n to let me get all the credit?¡± Qin Feng bellowed.

    Leafsoul almost grated his enamel off for gritting too hard. He had no choice but to take on the toughest assignment.

    ¡°Prepare for the sh!¡± Leafsoul shouted.

    ¡°Marshall, leave the rest of the minions to me. I will not let any minion disturb your battle against the broodmother.¡±

    ¡°I owe you my thanks then!¡± Leafsoul¡¯s consciousness delivered his true feelings.

    Qin Feng did not dwell on whether he was being grateful or sarcastic. He continued to exert his consciousness and shattered the sheath from the perimeter, along with the numerous beasts on it.

    The S-tiers within his Domain of Death resisted rampantly.

    Qin Feng pressed on and absorbed their life forces with his dark ability. As a result, his physical strength grew exponentially.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s physique was once again upgraded.

    A6-tier.

    This was a gluttonous feast specifically prepared for Qin Feng.

    Right now, the broodmother was being held up by Leafsoul. Meanwhile, the fungal sheath carrying the Insectoids stormed at the human army.

    Qin Feng unsheathed the Verdant Emperor Saber. The profound god weapon emanated a terrifying aura by itself.

    sh!

    Millions of spirits gushed out from the saber andcerated a deep fissure across the fungal sheath. The powerful energy sted the fungal sheath away, forcing the sheath to coil back sideways. This cleared up the area around Leafsoul and the broodmother.

    Qin Feng fulfilled his promise. None of the Insectoids could approach the main battlefield.

    On the other hand, Qin Feng massacred the swarm insanely. Thousand Spirit Chain Rend, Frozen Age, and other S-tier skills were being unleashed unreservedly.

    He alone was more dominant than the entire army.

    While the others were astounded by his heroics, he was reaping a massive benefit.

    His physique could not stop evolving, and it broke through one level after another.

    A7-tier!

    A8-tier!

    A9-tier!

    Qin Feng had lost count of how many Insectoids he had killed. All of the killed beasts¡¯ flesh and crystal cores were absorbed cleanly by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s life span was being lengthened continuously. It must have extended beyond what others could ever imagine.

    After the endless massacre, though the Insectoid swarm was notpletely exterminated, only lesser beasts remained.

    Qin Feng had ughtered at least more than a thousand S-tiers and a few million A-tiers. He had annihted the most elite force brought by the broodmother.

    Otherwise, how could he upgrade so quickly?

    Now, there were only about ten thousand B-tiers and a million C-tier insectoids left. Despite the massive amount, they would not be enough to threaten the A-tiers aptitude users.

    Qin Feng did noty eyes on the lower beings. He needed a lot more energy to attain S-tier. Even killing all the remaining iInsectoids would not be sufficient to achieve that.

    There was only one option left.

    The broodmother.

    Qin Feng had only battled for three hours. However, Leafsoul was already at his limit.

    Within that three hours, reinforcements had arrived twice. Leafsoul was no longer the only SS-tier aptitude user at the scene. Without the help from another seven SS-tiers, Leafsoul would have been long gone.

    Numerous vines wilted in the space. The broodmother ran amok and crushed many of the human airships, as well as those S-tiers who were unable to avoid in time.

    Till now, the human side had suffered heavy casualties as well. Qin Feng counted and realized at least three hundred aptitude users had fallen, including more than fifty S-tiers.

    ¡°I should give them a hand!¡± Qin Feng murmured.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were only S-tiers now. He had indeed challenged A-tiers while he was a B-tier in the past. But at that time, he was backed by Bai Li, who was an A-tier then. This time, it was a much tougher opponent in entirely different circumstances.

    ¡°Finger of Death!¡±

    He did not have absolute confidence but still released the S-tier skill with little hesitation. The dark runes hit one of the broodmother¡¯s outer shells, which immediately turned ck and lifeless. But the spreading stopped at only one segment.

    There were at least ten thousand segments along the Broodmother¡¯s body. Unless Qin Feng could release ten thousand death beams at once, otherwise he would have no chance of killing the ruthless beast.

    But Qin Feng did not give up. Although he could not do it at once, he was going to repeat it ten thousand times until the monster had been killed.

    Besides, Finger of Death was not the only trick up his sleeve.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    He released Cold Whisper of Death and re of Death sessively. By the time hepleted the third attack, runes from the first attack hadrgely been recycled. He could use Finger of Death once again.

    One or two attacks might be insignificant. But after the tenth beam of death hit the broodmother, the cumtive damage finally caught the broodmother¡¯s attention.

    It examined its body and realized some of the segments were inflicted by alternating fire runes, ice runes, and dark runes.

    Expectedly, the broodmother was not very pleased. The infuriating beast identified the culprit immediately and charged at Qin Feng.

    It was probably the strongest thrust Qin Feng had ever seen. There was little room and time for him to evade when the behemoth rushed at him at full speed.

    That was why many had fallen.

    An ancient warrior might still have a slight chance to survive since most had mastered superior qinggong skills. The same could not be said about gunslingers or ability users.

    Naturally, Qin Feng was not one of them.

    Bai Li who hadid low so far tacitly teleported Qin Feng a few thousand meters away before the assault reached him.

    Although that distance was still rather short considering the broodmother¡¯s unreasonable size, it was more than enough.

    Qin Feng avoided the deadly assault and did not stop his attack. He had now sessfully caught the full attention of the broodmother and lured it away from Leafsoul. Thetter could finally take a breather.

    Leafsoul was certainly not amon ability user since he was elected as the marshal of Omnesflores. His power was close to the emperor¡¯s rank. If not, there was no way he could have survived in front of the broodmother for so long.

    Still, stalling was the best he could do. With Qin Feng¡¯s intervention, the circumstances had changed once again.

    Qin Feng released S-tier skills again and again. Leafsoul began to wonder how Qin Feng possessed such a great load of conscious power. As time passed, injuries began to pile up significantly on the broodmother.

    Six hours had passed since the discovery of the fungal sheath.

    This was when a flower object appeared on top of Omnesflores. It looked like a lotus seat but it was just a normal five-petal flower. Despite its normal size, the flower possessed entric power irrtive to its size.

    That proved only one fact¡ªthe neer was very powerful. The flower was like the power core of an Immortal¡ªNot necessarily thergest, but the brightest star.

    ¡°Blooming Lord has arrived!¡± The aptitude users were stunned. They gazed at the flower expectantly.

    She was wearing a pink robe. Her beauty was out of this world, maybe only slightly lesser than Bai Li.

    Blooming Lord did not disguise her presence like Bai Li. Thus, she was more eye-catching and grasped everyone¡¯s attention the moment she appeared.

    Qin Feng only peeked through the corner of his eyes, then concentrated back on the battle at hand. In a battle of life and death, there was no room for him to be careless.

 Chapter 994 - S-Tier Body, Perfect Evolution

    <h4>Chapter 994: S-Tier Body, Perfect Evolution</h4>

    The battle would not stop because of the arrival of other people. Other people might be stunned but Qin Feng did not want to die because of such a mistake.

    However, there was bound to be that one idiot that got too excited upon seeing Blooming Lord, resulting in them not being able to avoid the broodmother and was about to be swept away and smashed to pieces.

    ¡°Insectoid cur, face death!¡±

    Blooming Lord raised a hand and released a burst of flowers. The entire cosmos lit up with what seemed to be a meteor shower of flowers.

    The S-tier aptitude user who was about to die was swept away by the petals while other petalsnded on the broodmother¡¯s body. They sprouted and took root, piercing through the bug¡¯s carapace.

    Especially the ce affected by Qin Feng¡¯s Finger of Death, the petals had an easier time integrating themselves as if there was no resistance at all.

    Crack!

    The giant broodmother¡¯s body was severed by the waist.

    ¡°Huh!¡± Blooming Lord was a little surprised, not expecting her ability to end up resulting in this effect.

    However, she quickly noticed that there were wounds caused by other abilities dotting over the bug, but she did not expect this to be the doing of one person, and instead from a group of people.

    This made her feel that there should be rewards issuedter.

    Right now, what she wanted to do was naturally kill this broodmother.

    The countless flowers fell on the broodmother at hermand and the cosmos opened up for a sea of flowers. This broodmother would be fertilizer for the flowers.

    Screee!

    The broodmother let out a screech, a million C-tier centipedes rushed over to try and save it but were wiped out by the Human Alliance¡¯s supporting army.

    At this point, the dust of battle had settled.

    ¡°This is the strength of an SSS-tier? Powerful indeed!¡± Qin Feng watched Blooming Lord fight and all she did was unleash what looked like a domain move from the looks of their Sea of Flowers to bring down that terrifying broodmother.

    He had fought SS-tiers before, but the current version of him seemed to have no chance of winning against an SSS-tier aptitude user.

    It seemed like he was going to have to wait for a while before going back to Bahamut.

    At this time, the broodmother¡¯s aura was getting weaker and weaker, and every time its body struggled there would be nothing but sharp pain and it did not dare move.

    Qin Feng noticed this and his eyes lit up, then he and Bai Li suddenly moved.

    The two instantly appeared in front of the broodmother. At this time, the broodmother was opening its maw and screeching to get the other insectoids to rescue it.

    A great opportunity had just appeared in front of him.

    He knew that Blooming Lord had a clear chance of taking down the broodmother; what he had to consider now was the distribution of the spoils after the battle.

    Although he had shown great effort, the broodmother was not just taken down by him alone. There were others who participated, but their effects were too little. Qin Feng was not someone from Omnesflores, and he had always been different from the others. He had a feeling that this Blooming Lord was not going to end up giving him any good rewards anyway.

    If that was the case, he could not let this chance get away, so he could only y this selfishly!

    ¡°Sovereign Roar!¡±

    A huge and fearsome dragon head appeared over Qin Feng¡¯s head, and a tide of darkness was sted out with a roar!

    This dark tide was directly sted into the Bloodlust Centipede Broodmother¡¯s maw!

    This was a fatal attack. Qin Feng¡¯s Sovereign Roar was not an S-tier ability, but an SS-tier ability. This kind of move was something even those that had reached SS-tier might not even have.

    Dark energy had a terrifying destructive power. The tide instantly corroded the mouth and the throat of the broodmother as it entered. It spread even further, infecting its brain.

    The Bloodlust Centipede¡¯s crystal core was at where its brain was.

    What Qin Feng wanted to do was to seize the core!

    There was no doubt he could do this!

    The massive dark tide flooded over, killing the broodmother instantly and exposing the energy core, but it melted into the darkness.

    That was because this tide contained Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability!

    In an instant, an SS-tier crystal core was consumed by him.

    His physical strength rapidly increased.

    Last time, Qin Feng used the concentrated blood crystal of the S-tier Gorefiend so he could ascend to A-tier.

    Now, with the crystal core of the SS-tier Bloodlust Centipede Broodmother, he finally had a massive breakthrough.

    His physical strength had reached S-tier!

    Today, Qin Feng had be a true andplete S-tier aptitude user, no longer did he have any shorings.

    Perfect evolution!

    This kind of perfection made him ever closer in his journey to be an Immortal!

    At this time, the Bloodlust Centipede Broodmother hadpletely perished without an energy core and was left only with arge body drifting in the cosmos with many huge beautiful flowers growing from it.

    These were all caused by Blooming Lord.

    Blooming Lord was also taken aback at this time. This was the second incident since her arrival.

    ¡°Return!¡±

    The flowers gradually copsed and disappeared into the void, leaving only the body of a broodmother that was riddled with holes.

    When the broodmother died, that nket of growth naturally disappeared. This fungus was used to protect the Insectoids, C-tier insectoids absolutely could not travel through space.

    The death of an army of a million Insectoids was definitely a spectacle.

    The aptitude users present did not cheer with excitement, instead there was the inevitableughter of having a new lease of life and that had caused quite the ruckus.

    They quickly calmed down and looked to the strongest person present, the owner of Omnesflores, Blooming Lord.

    ¡°Thank you for defending Omnesflores!¡± The Blooming Lord said, her consciousness spreading out and carried with it a flowery fragrance.

    ¡°That¡¯s expected!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s always an honor to be helping Blooming Lord!¡±

    ¡°Seeing Blooming Lord today has shown me what beauty really is!¡±

    Everyone was showering her withpliments. Whether it was about her strength or her appearance, she just took in thesepliments and was perhaps a bit numb to them at this point. She just smiled and did not respond much.

    Then, her gaze fell upon Qin Feng. After all, that was the one who yed the Centipede Broodmother, although in the eyes of Blooming Lord, there was not a need for Qin Feng to jump in at the end.

    However, he did notpliment her, nor did he even look at her. Instead, his eyes were fixated on the Insectoid broodmother¡¯s corpse, brow furrowed as if unsure if he should open his mouth or not.

    The expression on his face was obvious enough that it could be seen from the first nce.

    As smart as Blooming Lord was, of course she would be able to notice it. There was no other reason why a corpse would be more interesting than she was.

    For a brief moment, she felt a little frustrated but quickly tossed away that strange feeling.

    Perhaps the little guy was from some low-level realm and did not know her name!

    ¡°Is this aptitude user from the Human Alliance? The broodmother was your kill, you can take half the corpse and exchange it for something you want in the Omnesflores Treasury!¡±

    ¡°Then, don¡¯t mind if I do!¡±

    When Qin Feng said he did not mind, he really did not mind. Immediately, he had Bai Li store the body.

 Chapter 995 - The Merits Couldnâ€™t be Counted

    <h4>Chapter 995: The Merits Couldn¡¯t be Counted</h4>

    When other people saw Qin Feng¡¯s actions, they all wanted to give him a whack as they felt that he was being disrespectful to Blooming Lord.

    However, there was no reason to do that. They just could not help but feel sullen.

    ¡°Damn, is that kid using that attitude so he can attract Blooming Lord¡¯s attention?¡±

    ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s gotta be because of that. That kid is so calctive!¡±

    ¡°However, his strength is incredible, although he¡¯s only an S-tier, no matter how you look at it he is stronger than Leafsoul. An absolute monster!¡±

    The others chatted amongst one another, their gazes going Qin Feng¡¯s way were full of scornced with a mixture of admiration and envy.

    He did not care about any of these, and he then found an airship and stepped into it. After battling for so long, Qin Feng had killed plenty and used up a lot of his consciousness and internal force, but his body had gotten stronger.

    As such, now all he wanted was rest.

    With him, a person who was not afraid of offending Blooming Lord, setting an example, other people did not want to stay on this any longer too.

    ¡°Everyone, this ce is not safe to linger in. Take the in creatures to exchange for your spoils and quickly board the ships to return to Omnesflores!¡± said Blooming Lord.

    The others were allowed to sweep up the battlefield and return to their airships.

    Then, the airships returned to Omnesflores, all concentrating on Petalbrook City, the¡¯s central city!

    That was because the person who established it was also called Petalbrook.

    There were still some Bloodlust Centipedes causing trouble on Omnesflores, but they were not very strong and he believed that this problem was going to get wrapped up soon. He did not n on participating. Although he had made it into the limelight, he knew that a human like him from a realm that did not have an Immortal would be easily measured by others when outside.

    He had made his y and taken advantage of the situation, he did not n on staying any longer and went on ahead to submit his task.

    What he did not expect was when he was submitting, he would encounter another problem.

    ¡°You¡¯re telling me, based on how many beasts I¡¯ve hunted, that would be how many I need to turn in otherwise it won¡¯t be counted for merits?¡±

    When the staff member saw the series of spoils that Qin Feng was issuing, it was not that he was looking down on Qin Feng, instead he found this absurd.

    ¡°Sir, it has always been a rule to submit the whole corpse of your kill in exchange for merits. If you want to sell them at a high price, you can choose not to get merits and go to the merchants outside.¡±

    This staff member pretty much just said: You are not handing out your spoils and you are asking for merits. If you turn around and go sell the corpses to a merchant, are you not basically just taking everything for yourself?

    Qin Feng really could not hand things over. He had consumed all the Bloodlust Centipedes, what loot would he actually have? Even though he recorded all of it, if there was no way he could receive any merits without spoils, there was nothing he could do.

    The flesh of the broodmother was very useful and Qin Feng naturally did not want to give it up.

    ¡°Forget it, if you don¡¯t wanna pay then don¡¯t pay. They probably don¡¯t have anything good anyway. You¡¯re already S-tier! We can go to another realm and adventure there!¡± Bai Li said.

    ¡°Yeah, then I¡¯m not trading!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°This rule¡¯s weird but it¡¯s weirdly kind of fair when I think about it, why is it that we don¡¯t do things like that on our end?¡± Bai Li did not quite understand.

    Qin Feng did not understand it either at first, but as the two stepped into the elevator and reached the first floor from the S-tier seventh floor, he finally figured it out when he saw the crowd of aptitude users outside.

    ¡°That¡¯s because they have too many aptitude users!¡±

    Bai Li still did not understand, so she tilted her head and looked at Qin Feng, as if waiting for him to exin.

    ¡°In our realm, the aptitude users are the ones with high status and there are too many ordinary people that need protection. Therefore, the civilians live humble lives, squeezed into thebor force and have to pay high taxes each month. The taxes are basically protection fees to ensure their survival in the cities!¡±

    ¡°Once a beast wave urs, that money would be pushed forward and rewards would be issued!¡±

    ¡°The city pays its taxes to the state, the state pays to the region and the region pays to the alliance. Layer byyer, it forms this reward based policy.¡±

    ¡°This kind of decision making ends up with the aptitude users obtaining a huge advantage over the civilians because of their admiration for them. For some smaller alliances, maybe in a few years they would get dragged under because they don¡¯t have a high poption and not enough to protect the people. Without taxes, the rewards would be scarce and those aptitude users are likely to leave that alliance for other ces.¡±

    It was like that for corporations as well, the boss was the one that gained most of the profit and the rest was split among the employees. These kinds of undesirable situations would definitely happen.

    Fortunately, Qin Feng was not like that, he had far too many things to earn money from.

    ¡°So, which one is actually good then?¡± Bai Li asked.

    ¡°The pros and cons depend on the situation. At the very least, we can¡¯t manage such a method right now! Look at this ce, besides the young ones, nobody needs anyone else to protect them. Everyone knows how to fight, they can take care of themselves.¡±

    Therefore, when everyone was an aptitude user, there was only the strong and the weak, not a split between the incapable and the capable.

    The strong would earn more, the weak would earn less, but their status remained the same.

    Of course, this method might suffer from corruption or embezzlement as it was not known where the materials would even go to or be used for and the prices start bing a little fishy. Nobody would know.

    At the same time, people here could choose to not spend the spoils on the army and sell them to merchants. That was the freedom they had.

    Bai Li nodded this time having figured it out.

    After all, their realm was too low in terms of power and could not make things fair. They could only let aptitude users take advantage of and exploit the civilians¡¯ lives.

    At this point, Qin Feng recalled Z¡¯s elixirs and suddenly felt that Z¡¯s original intentions and purpose were actually right.

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng nned to go back and think more about thister.

    The gates to this realm were also within Petalbrook City. After all, this was the heart of the realm. As long as Qin Feng left the Aptitude User Hall, he could find another spatial gate exclusive to the Human Alliance.

    At this time, Qin Feng came face to face with Leafsoul and Blooming Lord.

    ¡°Mr. Qin, where are you going?¡± Leafsoul inquired out of confusion.

    Qin Feng had just walked out of the Aptitude User Hall.

    ¡°About to leave!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Leafsoul did not respond for a moment, then said, ¡°Makes sense, the battle hasn¡¯t passed for long but it was very terrifying. Thank you Mr. Qin for your help, I will send someone to arrange for your rest!¡±

    ¡°I think you¡¯ve misunderstood me, Marshall Leafsoul. I¡¯m not going to rest, but I¡¯m nning on leaving Omnesflores. I was just here on vacation and originally nned on leaving today. Now that the situation here has been effectively resolved, I¡¯ll be on my way!¡±

    Upon hearing this, Blooming Lord and Leafsoul were surprised.

    ¡°Mr Qin, the results of this battle have not been evaluated yet, but you are leaving now? Do you not want to im your rewards? I¡¯ve heard from Leafsoul that the person with the most outstanding performance can open the secret vault to retrieve an S-tier god weapon. I have already approved this.¡±

 Chapter 996 - The Second Rejection

    <h4>Chapter 996: The Second Rejection</h4>

    Qin Feng remembered something like that, but if his merits could not be counted then he was not sure if the other¡¯s words actually could be ounted for. He could only tell the truth based on his own experience.

    ¡°I just came out from the hall. The corpses of the Insectoids I killed were destroyed by my ability. There is no way to count the results and I don¡¯t want to submit the broodmother¡¯s body!¡±

    ¡°Uh...¡± Leafsoul was obviously embarrassed, while the others were overjoyed.

    In fact, as long as the SS-tier broodmother was submitted then Qin Feng would have to be recognized as the number one hunter, considering that it was a broodmother.

    However, in his eyes, the broodmother was much more valuable than an S-tier god weapon.

    If it were another S-tier aptitude user that had obtained the SS-tier broodmother¡¯s body, if it was not them worrying about imploding if they were to absorb it, then they would be worried that other people might start eyeing them for it.

    Indeed, the best way was to exchange for a god weapon.

    It was a pity that Qin Feng was not like them, he had his Verdant Emperor Saber, which was not bad for a god weapon.

    As such, he decided to not go for the exchange.

    He made a decision that other people were naturally happy about. Without apetitor like Qin Feng, there was a chance that they could use the numbers that they hunted down in exchange for a god weapon.

    At this moment, Blooming Lord Petalbrook said, ¡°Even so, I still appreciate Mr. Qin¡¯s youthful prospects. I will personally provide an S-tier god weapon! While it¡¯s unclear which realm you are from Mr Qin, would you like to join Omnesflores?¡±

    What a tant solicitation!

    Qin Feng was currently only S-tier, but his power was not weak and had proven himself to be even stronger than Leafsoul. That was why Petalbrook was thinking about attracting him over.

    Everyone present could hear this, but Qin Feng was not having any of it.

    If it were other people, without their wild schemes and aspirations, when facing Petalbrook¡¯s proposal it would be considered as something they had been looking for, but it was not the case for Qin Feng.

    ¡°No, I think this is unfair to other people, and I¡¯ll be leaving soon so I don¡¯t n on staying on Omnesflores.¡±

    The others looked at Qin Feng with wide eyes, not expecting him to say such things.

    How could he be so callous as to deny Blooming Lord?

    Moreover, this was the second time he had turned her down.

    When he saw the other people¡¯s expressions, he added onest sentence, ¡°This ce doesn¡¯t suit me!¡±

    Leafsoul did not want Qin Feng to stay on Omnesflores. Since Blooming Lord was not often around, he was the one in charge. With Qin Feng¡¯s arrival, he felt that his status would very likely be threatened.

    With how straightforward Qin Feng was, Leafsoul immediately said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Qin must be a dark ability user, definitely not suitable for Omnesflores!¡±

    After that line, the words that Petalbrook was originally going to say were stowed. If she still asked Qin Feng toe with her, she would sound like a sycophant.

    ¡°Then, I won¡¯t force you!¡± Petalbrook said.

    ¡°Thank you, Blooming Lord. I won¡¯t dy you on calcting the battle merits. I¡¯m going now!¡± Qin Feng took Bai Li and started to leave. At this time, people finally shifted their full attention to Qin Feng and also saw Bai Li¡¯s appearance.

    In that instant, they were all stunned by her.

    After those two people left, these people came back to their senses.

    ¡°I¡¯ll say why that Qin Feng guy had the gall to reject Blooming Lord like that, he already has a beauty next to him!¡±

    ¡°That said, who wouldin about having too many beautiful people, that Qin Feng¡¯s a heartless one. How could he refuse Blooming Lord?¡±

    ¡°Hey, watch what you¡¯re saying!¡±

    As these words were blurted out, Petalbrook was still looking ahead, and she felt a little sullen.

    ¡°The one named Qin, I will remember you!¡±

    Although it was not necessarily hatred, Petalbrook felt that such a person would definitely do something in the future and that they would meet again!

    At this time, he had entered the spatial gate and returned to the Human Alliance. Bai Li went ahead of him and returned to the Dark Citadel!

    When Qin Feng returned to the Dark Citadel, she was already there waiting for him!

    ¡°Why did you drop your Consciousness Shroud just now? Feeling jealous?¡± Qin Feng pinched Bai Li¡¯s little nose. Her consciousness was extremely powerful, and under her Consciousness Shroud other people would ignore her presence and for a moment forget that she existed.

    Just before they left, she dropped the shroud and revealed her true face.

    In Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, it was like when a cat showed its ws as a demonstration to others and to prove that Qin Feng belonged to her!

    ¡°Hmph, good thing you stood your ground otherwise you¡¯d be sleeping on the floor today!¡± Bai Li said with a snort.

    ¡°Haha, since I stood my ground, do I get a reward?¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Then, I¡¯ll give you a kiss!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s it? How about you reward me some more!¡± Qin Feng reached out to try and hug Bai Li, she let out a giggle and started running away.

    The two started goofing around, as if they had not taken to heart the rejection of an SSS-tier aptitude user at all!

    As they settled back in their original realm, on the next day, Fire Phoenix¡¯s arrival made Qin Feng pull himself together.

    ¡°Overlord, the things you need have already been prepared but there isn¡¯t much of it!¡± Fire Phoenix wanted to apologize, hoping that Qin Feng would not punish her. Meanwhile, he had already picked up the spatial rune equipment that was presented to him.

    Searching through it with his consciousness, he looked inside and saw hundreds of crystal cores. They all had different levels and had different characteristics.

    Unsurprisingly, these crystal cores all bore the dark element.

    Dark Lightning, Dark Metal, Dark Wood Poison.

    He did not care about the amount so he did not think Fire Phoenix did a bad job and waved his hand, saying, ¡°You may leave. Oh, I¡¯ll be leaving again, but this time I¡¯m not leaving the realm. If there¡¯s anything, contact me!¡±

    ¡°Ah! Okay, okay!¡± Fire Phoenix quickly nodded. After the ck Alps Overlord came to the Dark Citadel, while his name was overbearing enough that nobody wanted to offend him, he hardly ever stayed in the city. When Fire Phoenix heard those words, she only had one feeling, ¡®Does that mean he¡¯s giving us his approval?¡¯

    She was about to cry with joy.

    While Qin Feng was not harsh with his subordinates, he was a very difficult person to impress.

    Now that he had given his contact information, that finally gave Fire Phoenix a peace of mind.

    After he saw off Fire Phoenix, he went to Hell Ind. At this time, the ind was not open but there were still people from the Dark Citadel cultivating there. When they saw Qin Feng, they stood up to salute him with respect.

    ¡°Overlord!¡±

    ¡°Overlord!¡±

    Everyone called out, nobody dared to be disrespectful.

    ¡°Yes, stand down, you can all go.¡± Qin Feng said in a serious tone.

    The crowd dispersed and he sat cross-legged under the Ancient and took out those double element crystal cores before absorbing them.

    Then, he started meditating!

    The Ancient began to glow again.

 Chapter 997 - Nine-Element Ability User

    <h4>Chapter 997: Nine-Element Ability User</h4>

    Perhaps Qin Feng was unique, perhaps it was the Ancient¡¯s rules, three Sage Fruits were dropped.

    He did not hide them from other people and immediately scarfed down the three fruits. In his conscious realm, three ability cores appeared just like before.

    Through this, Qin Feng hadpletely be a nine-element ability user.

    Light runes were something he did not wish to obtain, what he had now was enough!

    Although the size of the ability cores of each element were different, it would be simple to umte enough energy to get them to S-tier with Qin Feng¡¯s current financial resources.

    ¡®I don¡¯t know if there¡¯s any nine-element ability users in the Human Alliance!¡¯ He thought to himself.

    In three years time, he had walked through the paths that he did not before his rebirth. He had spent a lot of time, but at the same time it was not so much.

    His current strength was far beyond what his previous self would have imagined and he had seen a lot of things that he could not see before.

    The events of the Human Alliance, and the events on Omnesflores had broadened his horizons. He knew that he could no longer use his previous way of thinking to view the world!

    There was always going to be someone or something better out there.

    Qin Feng needed to work harder in order to reach the ce he wanted.

    He left Hell Ind and returned to Fengli City.

    He had not been in Fengli City for a while. As the Glittering Gold Sand was buried underground, there was an immense amount of energy in the surrounding environment which attracted countless people to visit, and more and more strong people began to show up.

    Fengli City continued to expand, and with it serving as a foundation, the surrounding colonies continued to increase in numbers.

    Qin Feng had quietly returned and only needed to send in a notice, he did not have to report to work.

    However, when he returned, people would naturally approach him.

    The first one to do so was Chu Fan!

    ¡°Is there anything important?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°The new awakening potion has been sessfully developed!¡± Chu Fan said.

    Qin Feng¡¯s spirits were lifted. Back then when he saw what Onmesflores was like, he saw what it was like if everyone was an aptitude user and wanted to ask Chu Fan about it when he returned. What he did not expect was that the other party would approach him with this exact topic.

    Chu Fan had been previously studying the mold found in the Fettered Lands and created an awakening potion, but Z believed that the potion had drawbacks.

    Especially if that potion did get released and all of humanity became awakened, it would only speed up the consumption of resources in their realm.

    He had been to the center of the Earth before and saw that the energy in the Earth¡¯s center was being exhausted. He thought that this method was inefficient so in the end, the people they were testing on who were more capable were sent off to cultivate in the Blood River Realm or the Cinderst Realm.

    What was more, when Qin Feng was on Omnesflores, he also participated in the battles in that realm and had gained an understanding of the gap between humanity and ultra beasts.

    The body type!

    As a human, it was impossible to learn Shapeshifting. Even if there was some kind of special ancient martial art or ability that could increase body mass, there was no way humans could be thousand-meter tall giants. How could one fight such terrible forces?

    Well, Z could.

    There was no doubt that Z was a genius!

    And now, Chu Fan had also begun to study this field.

    ¡°How is the effect?¡± Qin Feng asked impatiently.

    ¡°What¡¯s the effect you¡¯re asking about?¡±

    ¡°The rate of awakening of course, and if there are any abnormal changes or not.¡± Qin Feng wanted an awakening potion without risks, not Z¡¯s terrifying elixirs.

    Chu Fan said with excitement, ¡°The awakening rate had reached 98.9%. That¡¯s because of early stage failures, but now it has undoubtedly reached 100%!¡±

    He then introduced the effects of Awakening Elixir X to Qin Feng.

    Within the Fengli Organization, they had properly awakened Spirit Champions among their ranks left behind by the Z Organization when they attacked Shadong Town.

    This incident happened about two years or so ago and the most obvious example was the E-tier aptitude user who had been following Qin Feng since the beginning, Han Nuan!

    She was a gunslinger. After that battle, she obtained the physique of an ancient warrior and even awakened into a lightning ability user.

    Two yearster, her power had increased drastically, and she had be a B-tier aptitude user. She was now amander in Fengli City¡¯s Garrison.

    She also assisted Chu Fan and carried out a lot of experiments.

    ¡°We used some special scanning methods and found that in Han Nuan¡¯s sr plexus area, well I mean in the area where the dantian is found, there is something that resembles a conscious realm. This area contains the essence of energy that isn¡¯t internal force or consciousness. What appeared was her spirit, sh Thunder Swallow!¡±

    Chu Fan continued, ¡°It¡¯s like a special force generated by the soul. Right now, Han Nuan has created plenty of her own techniques and doesn¡¯t need mechanical assistance to absorb lightning type crystal cores and the consciousness within those cores are converted into what exists within her body.¡±

    ¡°Also, the energy that she unleashes would just linger in the environment instead of scattering!¡±

    Aptitude users unleashed their energy into the environment to cause damage and would then need to recover it. It was a cycle.

    The awakening potions produced from the research on the Fettered Lands would have to absorb energy and have them integrated into the cell. If the cell died, then the energy would disappear as well. This was not a cycle, it was destruction.

    Qin Feng knew that this new kind of awakening potion was the true, perfect awakening potion.

    ¡°Not only that, ability users and aptitude users can use this stuff too and can even greatly improve their powers. However, the ancient warriors, ability users and gunslingers of the past would all disappear. In the future, people would only know of the Spirit Champion, but as for what kind of spirit they would awaken, that¡¯s not something you can control! But there is no doubt that the stronger someone¡¯s potential, the stronger their spirit would be!¡±

    Chu Fan looked at Qin Feng with a bright pair of eyes, asking, ¡°President, you wanna try?¡±

    At this moment, Chu Fan and Z, people who were living juxtaposes of one another, seemed to be standing onmon ground.

    These two had seen Qin Feng, the person with the greatest potential, so they both wanted to know just what kind of spirit he would manifest!*

    However, this was something unique. Something at a level which could change the world, should that be pushed out now?

    Qin Feng also asked himself in his mind, did he want to try?

    ¡°No, wait a bit more!¡± He said.

    There was a slight smile on Chu Fan¡¯s face, it looked like a mocking one.

    ¡°Innovation¡¯s always being pushed away.¡±

    Whenever there was something new, there would be many people that were wary of it. Chu Fan thought that Qin Feng was like that as well, maybe even a little too timid. At the same time, he understood Qin Feng because he had everything everyone could have ever wanted and there was no need to risk himself.

    Besides, once they became a Spirit Champion, the dantian, their consciousness, and all that would disappear. Nobody knew, just what kind of spirit they would manifest?

    Qin Feng shook his head, saying, ¡°Perhaps one day I will try it, but not now!¡±

    ¡°Then, when would that be?¡± Chu Fan asked.

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze was firm, saying, ¡°When I have the ability to change the world, when I... be the Master of this realm!¡±

    *Trantor¡¯s Thoughts: Calling it now, it¡¯s a peacock. Those things are terrifying.

 Chapter 998 - Chu Fanâ€™s Second Research

    <h4>Chapter 998: Chu Fan¡¯s Second Research</h4>

    Indeed, announcing the awakening potion would bring great fortune to Qin Feng. However, considering the achievement that he already had, would it still be necessary to risk himself for that fortune?

    Actually, it was no longer important to him. Also, it might also cause unnecessary problems to Qin Feng.

    Quoting the same saying, there would always be someone else more powerful.

    Had the SSS-tier from the Li family really disappeared? Were there any other powerful figures that still existed in the realm?

    Qin Feng did not intend to announce it until he had the entire realm under his control.

    ¡°Understood, I will seal this experiment temporarily and not put it into mass production. Here is the only sample produced for you!¡± Chu Fan handed over a golden potion tube to Qin Feng.

    It was a beautiful looking potion tube, perhaps Chu Fan had dedicated a lot of his time and effort into it, and used the best materials that he could. Perhaps, disapproving the announcement of his own discovery was equivalent to denying his hard work and effort.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It will not be long.¡± Qin Feng reassured Chu Fan.

    Chu Fan chuckled like he did not care at all.

    ¡°Never mind, I do not need any reassurance. Actually, I prefer to research on some other projects instead. Projects like spatial ovep, etc. The detector that I have been working on with Holy Wolf recently is showing rapid fluctuations from the Abyssal Ocean. It is showing frequent energy spikes and intensified runes, perhaps there might be spatial ovepping there. You may want to take a look for yourself if you are interested!¡± Chu Fan seemed to have reminded himself of something else as he thenughed, ¡°The robo-dog nicknamed itself as the Holy Wolf and thought it sounded prestigious, haha!¡±

    Qin Feng did not care about how the robo-dog nicknamed itself, he was more impressed by Chu Fan¡¯s achievement.

    Indeed, an earth-shattering spatial ovep was about to form in the Abyssal Ocean. In the year toe, the Abyssal Ocean would be crowded by aptitude users of above S-tier, and roamed around by A-tiers.

    Although Qin Feng knew it was heaven for ability users before his rebirth, he had never been there before.

    Surprisingly, Chu Fan had managed to identify it with his detector!

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll check on thatter. I think this is an interesting experiment, just speak to Xue Xingfu if you need anything else!¡± Qin Fengmanded.

    ¡°For sure. The robot that we have researched is making a lot of money, I bet that Xue Xingfu would not dare to reject my research funding!¡±

    Qin Fengughed. Of course, it was his wish to see Fengli grow stronger, but the only thing that he did not wish to see was the growing of conflicts between the internal members.

    Fortunately, although they had different areas of expertise, they were all quite well-mannered to everyone else.

    Chu Fan had nothing else to talk about, and he then left for his long list of pending experiments that was dominated by spatial ovep research. Especially when Fengli City was located in the most strategic realm that most other influences did not have ess to.

    They had mastered spatial skills to an advanced level.

    Perhaps when Qin Feng became an Immortal, the realm would also open their doors to the Human Alliance and establish a spatial station.

    ¡°Since Chu Fan has already done the research, I will head there earlier!¡±

    Qin Feng had been keeping everyone else from finding out about the shocking secret of his rebirth. Nobody knew about it, not even Bai Li who was the closest person to him.

    He did not want to draw suspicion from the others. However, in order to gather enough resources to be stronger, he still had to do it sometimes.

    Regardless of whether it was at the Blood River Realm or the Aether Realm, Qin Feng¡¯s outstanding performance was too unpredictable.

    Before that, Qin Feng intended to head over there after the great rift explosion. However, Qin Feng felt that he could just use Chu Fan¡¯s research as a disguise for him from thereon.

    Also, the research could also bring more benefit to Qin Feng and allow him to find out even more than before his rebirth!

    Hence, after resting for several days, Qin Feng headed toward the East Sea City with Bai Li.

    The East Sea City had already been developed by the Fengli Organization into their second harbor, and it was housing a huge fleet of vessels.

    Other corporations were also aiming to take Qin Feng down. But they were restricted by their stagnant machinery advancements. Also, everyone knew that Qin Feng had just returned from the Perished Landsst year and he must have returned with some horrifying items that they could not imagine.

    Hence, most of the corporations had exited from the East Sea City and stayed away from posing as enemies to Qin Feng.

    Being the Mashal of the Huaxia Alliance who had also participated in the besiege of the S-tier Dragon-borne at Dragon Capital, everyone was being very cautious toward Qin Feng.

    At the harbor, an aptitude user from the Fengli Organization was breaking out in cold sweat while speaking to Qin Feng.

    ¡°President, should I announce the news now and order for their return?!¡±

    ¡°No need for that, just randomly pick a vessel and it does not have to be the Glutton!¡±

    Qin Feng was nning to drive the Glutton into the ocean, but he did not expect it to be rented out to someone else.

    It would not have been rented out to anyone. However, it was Tung Yang who had requested for the Glutton.

    As it was a request from the regent of the Eastern Region, it was unnecessary for the manager to inform Qin Feng before fulfilling the request. Also, the Glutton was made avable to be rented out.

    Tung Yang had only left for a short while, not more than half a day.

    As the rental agreement had already been signed, Qin Feng did not want to be the one to break the agreement. For him, the vessel was rather unimportant as he just wanted to save some energy.

    ¡°Yes, this way President, this vessel is ready to go into the ocean right now!¡±

    Once Qin Feng began to move forward, that person also felt the instant relief. Qin Feng was a highly regarded person within Fengli. Hence, it had put immense pressure on the aptitude user. Fortunately, the president was friendlier and more easy-going than expected.

    Qin Feng did not care about others¡¯ perception, as he only cared about Tung Yang¡¯s actions.

    ¡°Is Tung Yang out hunting? Or has he found out anything else?¡±

    Since Qin Feng¡¯s presence, every A-tier beast deity creature had disappeared from the Abyssal Ocean. But human exploration into the deep-sea area was still restricted in the Abyssal Ocean, not to mention that exploration was considered prohibited in the greater east ocean.

    With Tung Yang¡¯s capability, it was unnecessary for him to rent the Glutton to roam the Abyssal Ocean!

    Perhaps he was roaming beyond the perimeters of the Abyssal Ocean.

    There were probably S-tiers there, so Tung Yang still had to be careful.

    It was all Qin Feng¡¯s assumption so he did not make any wild conclusions. The vessel he was on did not travel into the deep sea, it was only gliding on the sea surface with the presence of Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability that prohibited attacks from ultra beasts.

    Beep beep beep!

    The scans of the vessel had received an alert.

    ¡°Identified unknown rift, warning! Warning!¡±

    Meanwhile, glittering lights were seen on the big screen. The colors were magnificent and gorgeous, abination of blue, green, yellow and all sorts of colors. It then slowly faded into red, purple, and golden color.

    The constant colour change covered a huge area. Even without the scanning alert and consciousness scouting, it was clearly visible with the naked eye!

    No wonder Tung Yang had ventured out, how could he not notice such an obvious scene?!

 Chapter 999 - Tung Yang Achieving S-tier

    <h4>Chapter 999: Tung Yang Achieving S-tier</h4>

    Qin Feng only brought Bai Li along in the vessel so that he had less to worry about as he braced himself for the wind and waves, and moved forward.

    Meanwhile, he had already left the Abyssal Ocean region and entered into a region undiscovered by humans.

    Qin Feng did not know whether the ce had yet to be discovered or not. After all, with the apaniment of any S-tier aptitude user, anyone could be there.

    However, most people were probably not familiar with the environment.

    Meanwhile, the light was still glowing in multi-colors at the horizon like an aurora. It was magnificent and dazzling to watch.

    As they got closer, they could clearly sense that it was not aurora, but an array of runes that had formed into a ribbon of colors.

    Wind element in green, fire element in red, water element in blue, and also other elements were drifting in the sky.

    asionally, there were also appearances of gleaming white and ck ribbons.

    Silver and pale golden glows were also shing in the sky. However, the golden glow that only shed for a quick moment was undetectable by consciousness scouting.

    It was the mythical spatial runes!

    It had never been mastered by any humans before, not even any ultra beast.

    Qin Feng ignored both of them as he could not absorb any of them.

    However, he still had high expectations for the others.

    These runes were tightly packed together. Ordinary runes would exist in gaseous form, whereas such runes existed in liquid form.

    As sacred stones existed in solid form, they were slightly more valuable. However, sacred stones would only appear upon the death of an Immortal, so Qin Feng was unable to obtain too many of them.

    Therefore, the rune waves were exactly the most desirable opportunity for Qin Feng to achieve S-tier for all nine elements.

    Even if the runes were to cover the ability cores and expand their diameters to two centimetres, it would still be worth it.

    ording to the S-tier aptitude users¡¯ structure, ordinary S-tier aptitude users could already achieve advancement by getting a two-centimetre-diameter ability core.

    Elites would be required to achieve three centimetres in diameter. General-tiers would need to achieve four-centimetre ability cores, six centimetres would be required for king-tiers, eight centimetres for emperor-tiers, and ten centimetres for the most powerful deity-tier.

    Hence, Qin Feng had already achieved deity-tier for his ice ability core. For his dark ability core, it was already immeasurable.

    However, those runes were clearly insufficient for Qin Feng to achieve advancement.

    It was at that moment; a giant vessel broke the surface of the ocean up ahead and emerged from the water. Then, a shadow of a human flew up from the vessel while drawing up torrential waves that seemed like they were being dragged up to the sky.

    The person on top was exactly Tung Yang!

    Unending amount of runes appeared from the rift while Tung Yang¡¯s consciousness spiked up, drawing in countless numbers of blue runes and merging them into his conscious realm.

    ¡°Is he advancing?¡±

    Qin Feng was surprised by Tung Yang¡¯s action. His aura was continuously surging, like he was about to experience advancement.

    Qin Feng¡¯s appearance had allowed Tung Yang to be the biggest beneficiary from the battle on the Divine Mountain. He had be even more powerful than before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth.

    From Tung Yang¡¯s other encounters, Qin Feng knew that he would achieve S-tier. However, he had definitely achieved it quicker than before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth.

    The oue was affected by Qin Feng¡¯s appearance.

    Tung Yang had gotten himself quite a lot of Glittering Gold Sand to increase hispetency. With the abundant resources he had, it was rather simple for his ability core to reach two-centimetres in diameter, and for him to advance to S-tier.

    Hence, it was definitely the ideal opportunity for Tung Yang. With the help of the Glutton, he had saved himself from being troubled by other ultra beasts and quickly arrived at the location. Unlike the others that had yet to discover the unusual scene, he had already secured the area under his control.

    Meanwhile, his consciousness was activated to absorb every blue rune ribbon from the sky. They were drawn in in waves, absorbed into Tung Yang¡¯s conscious realm and covering his ability core.

    At the same moment, Qin Feng slightly frowned.

    ¡°Tung Yang does not know about things that could happen within the rift and he has already begun his advancement here. This is a very risky ce to be at, especially during advancement of a S-tier. Energy from heaven and earth will be absorbed and trigger a great reaction, drawing interest from unknown creatures to destroy this ce!¡±

    When Qin Feng was still thinking about that, ripples had already begun to rise from the ocean surface, forming into a vortex.

    The vortex was not caused by another ultra beast, but Tung Yang who had triggered it. His energy absorption and forceful looting had caused such an oue.

    It had caused vibrations in the waters that could possibly channel signals out to arger area.

    Meanwhile, several groups of sea beasts were flocking in from afar!

    The group of creatures was up to forty meters in size. Although they were not too powerful whenpared to other sea beasts, they would roam around in groups. Surprisingly, there were hundreds of them, and each of them seemed to have A5-tier capability.

    Boom!

    A sea beast flew out from the water and leaped up to more than ten meters above the sky before mming down hard. At the same time, water waves were shot out by them and aimed at Tung Yang.

    As Tung Yang was still advancing, he certainly did not have time to care about those creatures. At that moment, the Glutton demonstrated its power.

    Powerful energy cannons were firing at the sea beast that leaped up. The sea beast was mmed back into the water and torn in half.

    Then, countless energy beams took care of those creatures.

    Qin Feng frowned even harder.

    ¡°If this goes on, things will turn into a disastrous situation!¡± Qin Feng murmured to himself.

    Although there were countless runes avable, the size of the rift would only allow a small tip from the total amount to flow to the opposite side. If the S-tier advancement were to depend on it, perhaps it would take four to five days.

    The long period of time implied room for idents to ur.

    Woo woo woo woo...

    An unknown noise was heard from afar. Then, an object that looked like a small ind appeared on the water surface.

    Surprisingly, the creature was even bigger than the Glutton.

    Judging by the presence, it was undoubtedly an S-tier creature!

    ¡°Seems like he still needs a little help!¡± Qin Feng was about to make his move. But all of a sudden, another person suddenly appeared from the direction of the Glutton.

    It was an S-tier with strong bearings, and it was an ancient warrior.

    ¡°Jiao Linhan!¡± Qin Feng immediately recognized the person.

    He was an S-tier from the Huaxia Alliance. Qin Feng did not know about his existence before his rebirth. However, upon joining the Human Alliance, he had seen him before in the list of the Huaxia Alliance.

    He was an ambitious up-anding youngster. But in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, he was just an ordinary person.

    However, he seemed to be helping Tung Yang with the trouble and Tung Yang would then owe him a favour.

    Qin Feng was still thinking about lending a helping hand, but it was no longer appropriate to do so.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go to the other side!¡±

    While the size of the spatial rift had covered a huge area, it was unnecessary for Qin Feng to stay there, and he could just enter from another location so as to not disturb Tung Yang.

 Chapter 1000 - Appalling Talent

    <h4>Chapter 1000: Appalling Talent</h4>

    But as Qin Feng was still thinking about it, another gigantic creature had swum over. Despite Qin Feng¡¯s skillful dark ability, the best that he could do was just hide his presence but not make the vessel disappear into thin air.

    The massive ultra beast was not nning to slow down at all. It was bulldozing forward and was about to ram onto Qin Feng¡¯s vessel.

    ¡°Bai Li, now!¡± Qin Fengmanded instantly.

    Bai Li shed into the shadows and appeared outside of the vessel. Three stretches of rifts appeared, a thousand meter length each, spanning across the borderless ocean. They were extended forward, and the massive S-tier ultra beast was left with nowhere to dodge!

    Poof poof poof!

    The S-tier giant beast was sliced by all three spatial rifts. It was an enormous sea beast from the ocean, but it had also made itself a giant target for the others to aim for. The giant beast had no chance against an S-tier beast deity at all!

    The sea beast was sliced horizontally by the whacking moves, spurting fresh blood across the ocean water. Perhaps it would be unnoticeable by the others, but not for Jiao Linhan, he was not just any average person.

    Jiao Linhan reacted swiftly as he injected his spear with internal energy and tossed it out. It prated the skull of the sea beast and pinned it down under the sea.

    ¡°Who is that?¡±

    Jiao Linhan shouted specifically in Bai Li¡¯s direction.

    Qin Feng controlled his vessel and slowly surfaced above the water.

    Fengli¡¯sbel was easily recognized by Jiao Linhan, but he was not sure who was the one inside.

    ¡°Master Jiao, nice to meet you!¡± Qin Feng walked out from the vessel and Bai Li was standing beside him.

    Despite being a haughty person, Jiao Linhan still paid extra attention to new talents around him. He was an ambitious person and would certainly want to rope in more people under him.

    Being a redoubtable hero, Qin Feng was definitely under Jiao Linhan¡¯s radar.

    ¡°I did not expect to see you here Mashal Qin, my pleasure, why are you here all of a sudden?¡± Jiao Linhan asked with doubt in his mind.

    He did not know if it was Tung Yang who had requested that Qin Fenge, or that Qin Feng hade because he was suspicious of Tung Yang who had rented the Glutton.

    Regardless of the reason, Jiao Linhan put aside the idea of roping in Qin Feng. Instead, he kept his guard high up against him.

    Qin Feng would certainly use Chu Fan as an excuse, it was part of his initial n after all.

    Even from thereon, it would still be a perfect excuse to use.

    ¡°I have someone who is doing spatial realm research under me who has detected rapid spatial fluctuations here. Since this ce is not too far away, I decided toe and take a look. I am also surprised by this encounter. Since I am already here, I¡¯ll just stay and help out for a bit. Let me embellish Regent Tung¡¯s advancement!¡±

    While Tung Yang was still putting all his effort in absorbing runes, he still had some energy to spare. He heard Qin Feng and expressed his gratitude.

    ¡°I shall thank you then, Brother Qin. After my advancement, I will treat you to a feast! We shall indulge in drinks and greatpany!¡±

    ¡°That is very gracious of you, Regent Tung!¡± Qin Fengughed and answered.

    Jiao Linhan heard the conversation andughed as well, ¡°Great, let¡¯s work together and help Tung Yang out. We can have another S-tier in the Huaxia Alliance!¡±

    Qin Feng would certainly not reject that.

    Both of them worked together and took care of every sea beast that came forward. Qin Feng did not reveal too much of his capability, and it was Jiao Linhan who outperformed him.

    ¡°Mashal Qin, your Fengli Organization is advancing quite well. However, it will be quite difficult to move to the next level. Currently, there are quite a lot of S-tiers in the Huaxia Alliance that have strong market presence and they will not conform so easily!¡±

    ¡°That is very true, Master Jiao!¡± Qin Feng answered calmly and did not go on further.

    ¡°It is fate that led us here to meet each other, you can reach out to me if you need anything. Although it has only been a while since my advancement, I still have lots of years ahead of me. My speed of advancement is not bad too, and if and whenever I can, I will surely help you!¡±

    ¡°Well, I should first thank you for your help, Master!¡±

    Jiao Linhan continued with his persuasion, but Qin Feng remained sitting on the fence with his answer.

    Jiao Linhan noticed his reaction and was annoyed by Qin Feng¡¯s disdainful attitude.

    But Jiao Linhan still had high hopes for Tung Yang. As long as he seeded in his advancement, he would stand by him and work with him in the future. That would also be useful to him.

    Most importantly, Tung Yang was still a new S-tier that could not match his capability with Jiao Linhan. Hence, Jiao Linhan would certainly still hold the decision-making position.

    Qin Feng was amused by Jiao Linhan¡¯s underlying agenda. Only those who were less capable would employ such immature and desperate measures.

    If Jiao Linhan was capable and powerful enough, why would he still employ such methods to secure his benefits?

    However, everyone had their own way of living their lives. Qin Feng certainly was not bothered about how others lived their lives; he only needed to mind his own business.

    Another wave of attack from S-tier sea beasts was put to an end. Meanwhile, the ocean water that they stood in was already colored by the fresh red blood, and the fishy smell would be channelled far away.

    The fresh blood would then trigger two different oues. First, there could be countless numbers of ultra beasts rushing forward to fight for the blood of S-tier sea beasts.

    Second, sea beasts would sense the presence of powerful S-tier ultra beasts and their deaths. They would then scatter and flee.

    A vortex had already formed on the ocean surface, but there were not many sea beasts that came from the surrounding area. Qin Feng assumed that the second expected oue had taken ce.

    ¡°Master Jiao, it seems like you can already handle this alone. Coincidently, I am also an ability user, and I would like to begin my absorption. Master Jiao, don¡¯t worry about me, my wife will be here for me.¡±

    Jiao Linhan rolled his eyes andughed, ¡°Of course, if Mrs Qin is in danger, I will definitely help.¡±

    ¡°Thank you.¡± Qin Feng answered. Actually, there was no need for Jiao Linhan¡¯s help when Bai Li was already there.

    Jiao Linhan secretly hoped that Bai Li would be overwhelmed by the situation and ask for his help. Qin Feng would not be able to maintain his arrogance then.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng flew up to the sky and arrived at the edge of the countless rifts.

    Rifts that formed above the ocean were uniquely shaped. Despite their heights of about the size of a palm, they were stretched to a thousand miles in length. Colorful lights were seen glowing from the rifts, cascading down beautifully.

    There was more than one rift that criss-crossed with one another. The variety of runes was sprinkled down in an array of ribbons, just like a waterfall that flowed down from the sky.

    ¡°Absorption Ability!¡±

    Qin Feng activated a vortex between his eyebrows. Then, ribbons from the surroundings were all attracted and flew in his direction.

    Green, red, blue, yellow, golden, icy white, purple, green, and ck colors!

    Ribbons of all nine colors flew in together.

    However, Qin Feng abandoned blue water runes for the other colors. All of them were absorbed into his conscious realm and merged into his ability cores.

    Runes covered around his ability cores gradually dyed the diamond starglobe with their respective colors. Then, followed by moreyers of coverage and the growth of its size.

    Meanwhile, Tung Yang who was beside was struck dumb. Even Jiao Linhan could not believe his own eyes, and thought that he was seeing things.

    They knew that everyoneprehended runes at different paces, and it was also closely rted to their capabilities and talents.

    But they had never seen Qin Feng¡¯s speed before.

    It was unheard of and unseen before. Such a shocking talent, could this be the mythical SSS-tier talent?

 Chapter 1001 - The Poachy Jiao Linhan

    <h4>Chapter 1001: The Poachy Jiao Linhan</h4>

    In fact, Qin Feng did not actuallyprehend any of it¡ªhe was actually absorbing them.

    Qin Feng did not absorb the water runes because he wanted to be considerate toward Tung Yang and not adversely affect Tung Yang¡¯s ascension.

    Nheless, this had already challenged Tung Yang and Jiao Linhan¡¯s existing perception of the world. On the other hand, Qin Feng had also caused a series of chain effects, resulting in the ultra beasts in the ocean to rage around.

    It was then, a re of rainbow beamed up on the ocean surface.

    ¡°It¡¯s the jellyfish! It¡¯s the S-tier beast emperor!¡±

    Jiao Linhan was not afraid of any S-tier beast general. However, if the foe was something much stronger than a beast king, he would not be able to handle them at all.

    Jiao Linhan also did not understand just how fearsome the ultra beasts in the ocean were. If they were on thend, S-tier beast emperors were still quite few in number in the red zones.

    Now, in the ocean, these things could pop up from under the sea at any moment, from any spot. This had caused Jiao Linhan to be afraid.

    Should he flee? Should he not?

    Meanwhile, Tung Yang did not have the energy to handle so many things. Right now, the others would have to face the ultra beasts.

    ¡°Bai Li, help him.¡± Qin Feng sent a message via consciousness.

    Even though he had ascended, the situation right now was still quite perilous to say the least.

    Tung Yang had used all his consciousness toprehend the ascension of his runes. If he were to fail, Tung Yang¡¯s consciousness would descend from his current level to around A5-tier. This would irreversibly damage his consciousness.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, was different¡ªhis consciousness had already ascended to S-tier. He also had experience in ascending to S-tier. This meant that it was not too stressful for him at all in this process.

    ¡°Okay!¡± Bai Li agreed without protest as she zipped toward the ring part of the ocean.

    At first nce, it looked as though the ocean was beaming up with colorful lights. However, the colors were all venom.

    Perhaps due to having sensed Bai Li¡¯s arrival, the jellyfish willed in a veil of jelly substance and lunged at Bai Li.

    As it leaped out of the water, runes began to rage around it, forming a force shield. If anyone were to be caught by the force shield, there would be no way for them to escape.

    ¡°Damn it! What are you doing?! Do you have a death wish!?¡± Jiao Linhan did not think that Bai Li would strike so fast.

    Due to him getting to know Qin Feng, he also knew who Bai Li was. Still, even though he knew that she was a very rare shape-shifting spatial beast, Jiao Linhan thought that she was, at best, an S-tier ultra beast. She was only very proficient in taking on other ultra beasts all thanks to her ability to manipte space and dimensions.

    An S-tier ultra beast taking on an S-tier beast emperor was nothing short of suicide.

    However, perhaps due to her being a spatial beast... Bai Li might still have a way to handle this...

    ¡°Ms Bai, there¡¯s still a way to deal with this! Don¡¯t panic! You just need to lead the beast emperor away...¡±

    Before he was able to finish giving his suggestion, Jiao Linhan was startled to see what was happening in front of him.

    Countless silver threads burst out of Bai Li¡¯s body; each of the threads then ripped open small dimensional cracks.

    Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh...

    Then, the dimensional cracks began to spin around like a hurricane,pletely trapping the jellyfish. In an instant, the jellyfish, due to not having sturdy physical properties, waspletely crushed to pieces.

    Qin Feng was not surprised at all.

    Bai Li was already as powerful as an SS-tier beast emperor. As such, it was within his expectation that Bai Li would be able to defeat an entity that was much weaker than herself.

    However, Jiao Linhan did not know this at all.

    ¡®So, a spatial beast is this powerful?!¡¯

    Jiao Linhan took in a deep breath as he had apletely new insight on how powerful Bai Li was.

    ¡®Damn. With an ultra beast like this on his side, he would be able to get any resources he wants!¡¯

    ¡®He is so lucky!¡¯

    A fling of jealousy red up in Jiao Linhan¡¯s eyes as he took a nce at Qin Feng. He was now nning to poach Bai Li to his side.

    Bai Li was able to take care of an S-tier beast emperor in under a minute and get Qin Feng an S-tier crystal core. Although the jellyfish was venomous, it was all consciousness based and emitted from the jellyfish itself. The crystal core was thus free of venom; not only that, it also housed a vast conscious energy, making it ripe for Bai Li to absorb.

    Therefore, after receiving the crystal core, Bai Li began to chew on the crystal core gleefully.

    The jellyfish, on the other hand, hadpletely melted away and dissolved into the ocean; so, there was no way to collect any material from it.

    Nheless, due to the venom that it had released onto the ocean surface, no ultra beasts would dare toe near this area for the moment.

    Seeing his chance, Jiao Linhan approached Bai Li.

    ¡°Ms Bai, I see you like to snack on ultra beasts¡¯ crystal cores?¡± Jiao Linhan asked.

    If she liked to eat these for her sustenance, Jiao Linhan could get some crystal cores from his collection to buy out Bai Li from her contract with Qin Feng. Then, he could sign a new contract with her.

    As for whether she could snack on the new crystal cores that he promised her, it would all depend on himter.

    Bai Li took a nce at Jiao Linhan.

    It was then Jiao Linhan realized that Bai Li¡¯s eyes were silver in color. This meant that she could see through a person¡¯s thoughts.

    Bai Li replied coldly, ¡°Yeah, I was able to ascend due to snacking on these. They were not acquired by me though¡ªit was all Qin Feng¡¯s doing. He has gathered over thousands of S-tier crystal cores for me. This was how I was able to ascend to SS-tier.¡±

    Jiao Linhan¡¯s smile waspletely frozen on his face. Over thousands of S-tier crystal cores? If he had this many S-tier crystal cores, Jiao Linhan too would have ascended to SS-tier after meditating for a decade or two.

    Jiao Linhan ground his teeth, thinking that Bai Li replied this way because she had seen through his thoughts of poaching her.

    ¡°Hehe, you jest! To ascend to SS-tier, one would need to spend a lot of resources. Qin Feng isn¡¯t so strong that he could hunt so many S-tier ultra beasts for you, is he?¡±

    Jiao Linhan was not giving up yet. He still assumed that Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s resource were all Bai Li¡¯s hard work.

    No one was so foolish to acquire so much resource just to ascend a pet.

    ¡°I wasn¡¯t kidding. It was all his work. Qin Feng¡¯s very strong, you know? He can y anyone by raising a finger. And when he does, we will have resources.¡± Bai Li beamed up a smile.

    ¡°Haha, don¡¯t worry, my friend! Qin Feng only kills people from the Dark Coalition. So long as you¡¯re not his enemy, Qin Feng would not kill anyone from the Human Alliance.¡±

    Cold sweat was rolling down on Jiao Linhan¡¯s forehead. To him, Bai Li¡¯s words were like a threat to him. However, he could not retaliate after recalling just how powerful Bai Li was.

    ¡°Hey, there are more ultra beasts over there. I¡¯ll head out for a round of patrol.¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s smile remained as she told Qin Feng telepathically.

    ¡°Oh gosh, no one believes it at all.¡±

    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s alright. The weak can never understand the strong after all,¡± Qin Feng replied.

    Right now, Qin Feng felt that being an ability user was a job that only got easier as he became stronger. When he had reached a certain height of power, the roads were all paved out for him.

    This meant that any resource that seemed beyond reach to others, it was a piece of cake for Qin Feng¡ªa cake that he could just reach out, grab it, and eat it!

 Chapter 1002 - SS-tier from the Dark Coalition

    <h4>Chapter 1002: SS-tier from the Dark Coalition</h4>

    Even though the crack was opened up further, the energy was still pouring out constantly. Thus, Qin Feng and Tung Yang could still absorb them.

    Three dayster, due to both of them continuously absorbing, the runes were not spread too far out¡ªwhich was why the other S-tiers did not notice them at all.

    After all, not many would have the time and interest to investigate the ocean out of the blue.

    After Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had also been showered by the energy for so long, the electric, metal and wood type runes had also been spread out to about two centimeters thick. Right now, Qin Feng should be at the S-tier for all the nine types of runes.

    At the same time, Tung Yang¡¯s power had also gotten stronger and stronger¡ªinching ever closer to being an S-tier!

    Then... finally...

    After he absorbed anotheryer of runes, Tung Yang ascended.

    Boom!

    As his consciousness soared up to S-tier, Tung Yang frowned as a sweep of mini whirlpool began to swirl in between his brows. It was a blue starglobe!

    This starglobe had a rather sturdy, powerful core¡ªmuch like a Sacred Stone. It gave out a vibe that would make one mistake it for an ocean!

    As he ascended to S-tier, Tung Yang was overwhelmed with power as his presence beamed up brightly to the sky! Everyone in the Huaxia Alliance and other members from other alliances in the nearby regions had taken notice of it.

    ¡°Someone has ascended to S-tier!¡±

    ¡°I wonder who that is?¡±

    ¡°This presence... It¡¯sing from the eastern sea. Perhaps it¡¯s from the Huaxia Alliance. Or from the Japanese Alliance.¡±

    ¡°Who¡¯s ascending right now? Is it from the Human Alliance? Perhaps we should go there. If we could kill this schmuck, we could earn a great deal of money.¡±

    Thus, with their agenda in ce, people from all sides began to move.

    At the same time, the runes in the ocean were also affected due to Tung Yang¡¯s ascension. The dimensional cracks that were usually not activated were now connected to one another.

    In an instant, the dimensional crack that they were at seemed to have its energy wed out.

    Suddenly, a hundred-meter wide dimensional crack appeared in the sky.

    Countless runes soared out of the crack, beaming out glittering rainbows in the area. The energy that appeared in the area was so ring and obvious that the S-tiers had all noticed it. As this was happening, several runes had fused in with the ocean waters, creating an image of wonder and destruction if one were to see this from afar.

    Tung Yang did not expect this to happen. These runes did not give off the impression that they were dangerous.

    It was then, a flow of fire runes fell down from the sky and were about to hit Tung Yang from above.

    ¡°Hydro Tide!¡±

    Not able to evade the fire runes, Tung Yang had to unleash Hydro Tide to push them away. However, the fire runes were rushing down from above endlessly like a running stream. Despite having ascended to S-tier, Tung Yang could not hold it.

    Nheless, Tung Yang waspletely surrounded by runes from all elements¡ªall except for water runes. So, there was no escape for him.

    Suddenly, a re of silver light beamed up around Tung Yang. In the next instant, he was teleported away¡ªhe was now thousands of meters away, looking at the residue silver runes from afar.

    Ady approached him¡ªit was Bai Li.

    ¡°Ms Bai, thank you for the rescue,¡± Tung Yang thanked her gratefully.

    ¡°Don¡¯t mention it.¡± Bai Li waved her hand as she focused her attention on the dimensional crack.

    Tung Yang moved his eyes to the same spot and asked in surprise, ¡°Where¡¯s Qin Feng?¡±

    The runes were quite powerful. If Qin Feng were still inside, he would be in great trouble.

    ¡°He¡¯s still absorbing runes in there.¡± Bai Li said as she willed up her consciousness and began to absorb some spatial runes from the surrounding area.

    ¡°He can¡¯t! There are just too many runes! If he can¡¯t absorb them fast enough, he¡¯d be hurt!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯ll be fine.¡±

    Then, Tung Yang recalled just how fast Qin Feng could absorb the runes. There was indeed nothing to worry about.

    Meanwhile, in the sky, several whirlpools were swirling in between Qin Feng¡¯s brows as countless runes were sucked into his core.

    This was what Qin Feng needed.

    Despite the vast amount of runes soaring up in the area, the core¡¯s expansion was rather slow.

    Still, whenpared to how it was a few days ago, it was indeed beginning to speed up.

    Regardless, as his core swelled up, he would need more and more runes to expand it. Even though it only expanded by just one or two centimeters in appearance, it had in fact increased by dozens in its mass.

    As Qin Feng absorbed the runes like crazy, the sky was now beginning to get clearer.

    Due to Tung Yang¡¯s ascension earlier and the appearance of the dimensional crack in the sky, many S-tiers had already noticed this from afar¡ªespecially the ability users. The bursting soar of runes was something they had been longing for a long time. There were not a lot of resources left on Earth after all; so, when there was something like this happening, there was no way they would give up on absorbing them too.

    However, it was quite unrealistic for them to zoom to the scene right away. Due to the vast amount of runes swirling in the area, the whole ocean had begun to act rather weirdly.

    There could be various kinds of cmity awaiting them if they travelled this way hastily¡ªblizzards, hurricanes, tsunamis, thunder sears, meteorites, or even fire ball showers!

    Due to that, it took three hours for the fastest person amongst the S-tiers to reach the scene. However, the ability users noticed that the soaring runes in the sky had all disappeared¡ªthey had all been absorbed by Qin Feng!

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯s cores were now about two-centimeter wide. Although they were not as thick as his ice core¡ªwhich was ten centimeters in width, they were already bing elite cores.

    Nheless, even though the runes were all gone, the dimensional crack was still there, pouring out rune ribbons constantly. The first ability user that arrived stared at this in awe.

    ¡°Has the Runic Realm connected with ours? This is such a golden opportunity!¡±

    The ability user yelled out excitedly.

    Meanwhile, Tung Yang and Jiao Linhan watched on quietly and cautiously.

    This newly arrived ability user was an SS-tier. And they knew all the eleven SS-tiers in the Human Alliance. This man was not one of them.

    In fact, this man was a member of the Dark Coalition¡ªEndo, the Violent Butcher. This Dark Coalition¡¯s SS-tier would probably think of eliminating members of the Human Alliance when he sees them.

    Endo, on the other hand, locked his eyes on Qin Feng who was absorbing the runes in the sky.

 Chapter 1003 - One Out of Nineteen

    <h4>Chapter 1003: One Out of Neen</h4>

    ¡°Heh, these runes ain¡¯t something a weakling like you can absorb. Scram!¡±

    Endo yelled out loudly with his consciousness.

    Endo was a powerful electric ability user. He was capable of inflicting the highest damage amongst all the ability users.

    His loud consciousness voice alone was like a threatening thunder attack to any S-tier.

    However, unfortunately for him, it was Qin Feng he was dealing with here.

    Qin Feng stopped absorbing upon hearing him. To Endo, it seemed like Qin Feng was going to flee from him. Tung Yang and Jiao Linhan thought so too.

    However, Qin Feng was not afraid of Endo. In fact, Qin Feng hadpletely drained the runes from the crack.

    ¡°No, you scram. And I¡¯ll leave your corpse intact.¡± Qin Feng smirked as his consciousness burst out, ready forbat.

    ¡°Hahahaha!¡± Endo burst out inughter as he thought that this was some kind of a joke.

    It could not be helped. He had not met a match for a long, long time. He was at the peak of the pecking order on Earth for quite some time now.

    There were only a handful of SS-tiers on Earth¡ªEleven in the Human Alliance and eight in the Dark Coalition.

    This meant that Endo was one of the strongest neen people on Earth. He could basically kill any alliance in the Human Alliance if he was in the mood.

    No one dared to say this to him. Not even a fellow SS-tier.

    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen anyone having a death wish like you, boy!¡±

    Endo pulled out his weapon¡ªa saber that resembled a butcher knife, one that sparkled with violet electricity.

    This was a god weapon too.

    ¡°I¡¯ll oblige then!¡±

    Endo pushed his weapon forward and shot out a ray of terrifying electricity at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not bother evading. Instead, he lifted a finger and shot out a ray of electricity too.

    Blitzzz!!

    The two electric rays met and shed before perishing into nothingness. Endo¡¯s attack was stopped rather easily by Qin Feng.

    However, Qin Feng had used up a lot of his electric runes. If he wanted to defeat Endo with electricity, it would be a daunting task.

    However, Endo could not sit idly by when his first attack ended in a draw like this.

    His face turned grim as murderous intent soared in his eyes.

    He thought he could just wipe Qin Feng off the with a thought. Now, Endo was all worked up. He was determined to kill Qin Feng today, no matter what it took.

    ¡°Heh! So be it! Myriad Thunder!¡±

    In an instant, the sky was cloaked by dark clouds before tens of thousands of lightning dropped from above and straight toward Qin Feng.

    Myriad Thunder was an SS-tier electric ability.

    ¡°Retreat!!!¡± Jiao Linhan yelped out loudly as he fled. There was no way he could handle an attack by an SS-tier. Not only that, he was afraid that Endo woulde for him after he had killed Qin Feng.

    Jiao Linhan did not want to die yet.

    On the other hand, Tung Yang was hesitating¡ªhe did not want to abandon Qin Feng. However, he knew he could not take on an SS-tier. In fact, he did not know if he could shield everyone using his abilities from the Myriad Thunder too.

    It was then, Bai Li leaped into action.

    She formed a spatial zone and shielded Tung Yang and herself within the spatial runes, blocking out everything from outside.

    ¡°It¡¯s a parallel dimension!¡± Tung Yang had never seen such an amazing ability before. All he knew was that he had nowpletely been pulled out of the dimension he was in, and was now in another.

    Bai Li did not respond to Tung Yang; instead, she directed her gaze on the battlefield.

    However, Bai Li did not look troubled at all¡ªshe believed that Endo was no match against Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng raised his hand when he saw the lightning bolts lunging at him.

    ¡°Frost God! Arrival!¡±

    As soon as he unleashed the S-tier ability that he acquired from the Aether Realm, Qin Feng grewrger andrger. To be exact, it was not his body that grew bigger¡ªit was the snow and hail around that enveloped him, forming a massive snow giant.

    The snow giant was about hundred meters in height, and looked almost like a god had descended from the heavens.

    He raised his fist and...

    Booom!!

    The fist punched the lightning bolts away and tore the dark clouds asunder as the snow giant¡¯s body was cracked into pieces by the lightning bolts!

    It was another draw!

    This time, however, Endo had used up a lot of his energy to strike. He was determined to kill this young man in front of him.

    ¡°Huh, is this all you got? If so, I might as well say adios to you!¡± Qin Feng walked out of the snow giant and smirked.

    ¡°Shut up and eat dirt!¡±

    Endo roared furiously as he unleashed his lightning bolts again.

    However, no matter how many lightning bolts were hurled at him, Qin Feng was able to crush thempletely.

    ¡°I see. You want a fast death.¡± Qin Feng said. He did not use his consciousness. Just words from his mouth.

    However, as he was about to strike, someone else appeared on the battlefield.

    This person¡¯s presence was quite familiar to Qin Feng. This meant that he knew this newly arrived ability user. It was not about Endo wanting a fast death¡ªit was because Qin Feng wanted to end this quickly so that there were no casualties.

    ¡°Sovereign Roar!¡±

    Countless terrifying dark runes emerged above Qin Feng¡¯s head, forming a massive dragon head.

    The dragon head widened its jaw and...

    Roaar!!

    A pir of dark energy burst straight at Endo.

    Hubris vanished from the furious Endo¡¯s eyes as terror overwhelmed him.

    ¡°This... This is an SS-tier power!¡± His consciousness yelled out loudly, almost deafening everyone in the vicinity. This time, however, his voice trembled in terror as he turned tail, preparing to run.

    Unfortunately for him, dark runes had flooded the area, crushing other types of runes around Endo. Without the ability to use his electric runes effectively, Endo¡¯s speed was drastically lowered too, hindering his escape.

    Then, as the massive tide of dark runes crashed down, Endo was dead.

    Endo was one of the strongest neen humans on Earth. One of the strongest in the pecking order on Earth.

    However, he was not even half as strong as the SS-tier, Hasth.

    As such, his death came as naturally as gravity pulled an apple.

    The life essence in Endo¡¯s body waspletely sucked dry, turning him into a set of skeletons as the dark runes swarmed back with a fling of conscious energy to Qin Feng¡ªit was Endo¡¯s conscious energy.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was at the verge of ascension after absorbing so many runes for days. His consciousness was filled with runes to the brim!

    And as Endo¡¯s energy got devoured... Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness ascended too.

    It was now at S1-tier!

    However, this was not a massive ascension for Qin Feng. As such, he could easily hide his ascension and level-up using his dark abilities.

    ¡°Cast off.¡±

    In a simple wave of hand, the dark runes had all been dispersed, and the dragon head was retracted too. Not only that, this fight had won Qin Feng some rune equipment that went into his pocket dimension.

 Chapter 1004 - Power Showcase

    <h4>Chapter 1004: Power Showcase</h4>

    Tung Yang and Jiao Linhan from afar had seen everything Qin Feng did.

    When Bai Li retracted the alternate dimension, Tung Yang still felt like he was in a dream.

    ¡°Qin Feng, when did you attain S-tier?¡± Tung Yang was stuttering. He then quickly shook his head. ¡°No, that¡¯s not right. You are actually S1-tier now?¡±

    Qin Feng did not expose his true ability before this. Most of the time, it was Bai Li who took care of things.

    Besides, since he progressed extraordinarily fast, Qin Feng had always obtained the certification only after he had leaped through several major tiers. It was no different this time. He had yet to get the badge on Earth after evolving into S-tier.

    Furthermore, he had passed the strength test before being epted into the Human Alliance. That made S-tier certification even less significant. Hence, Tung Yang was surprised to find that not only had Qin Feng reached S-tier, but he was in S1 territory now.

    More bizarrely, Qin Feng had killed Endo with his own hand.

    Endo was not a random nobody but a top-notch SS-tier aptitude user. Yet his life was ended by Qin Feng this easily?

    Such news would cause turmoil once it gets out.

    ¡°Yeap. By the way, I still haven¡¯t congratted Regent Tung for reaching S-tier!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Same goes for you!¡± Tung Yang replied with a bitter smile. No doubt, attaining S-tier was amendable achievement. But when it waspared to Qin Feng¡¯s record, it did not seem that impressive anymore.

    ¡°Regent, my hands were tied so I had no choice but to kill Endo. It would have unwanted ramifications if news of his death were to get out. Could you pretend that you didn¡¯t see anything and help me to keep it a secret?¡±

    Endo still had a lot of underlings loyal to him. There were at least nine S-tiers under the SS-tier elect. If they knew Endo was killed by Qin Feng, he would be in deep trouble.

    Though he was not afraid of any S-tiers, his concerny in the safety of the Fengli Organization.

    He would not be around all the time to protect the organization. At least right now, he nned to enter the Runic Realm.

    ¡°That would not be a problem. Nobody would believe me anyway!¡± Tung Yang promised.

    ¡°How about you, Master Jiao?¡± Qin Feng asked Jiao Linhan through his consciousness.

    Jiao Linhan was staggered by the abrupt request. He quickly came near with a ttering smile.

    ¡°Who am I to be called master? Please stop calling me that. I know nothing about what happened just now.¡±

    Jiao Linhan was not stupid. In fact, he feared Qin Feng more than anyone now.

    He tried to convince Qin Feng to work under him earlier. When Qin Feng rejected him, he had not been friendly to him since. What was more, Jiao Linhan had even persuaded Bai Li to leave Qin Feng.

    Thinking back on his actions, Jiao Linhan was embarrassed and wished to dig a hole to hide in.

    Luckily, Qin Feng did not seem to be offended.

    ¡°It¡¯s just a title. If someoneester, please remember to say that Endo has entered the rift.¡±

    The ability that Qin Feng had unleashed was formidable. Despite its destructive nature, the ability also came with natural camouge. No matter how powerful one¡¯s consciousness was, he or she could not have detected it from far as their perceptual ability would have been masked by Qin Feng¡¯s dark runes.

    As Qin Feng had foreseen, an aptitude user arrived not long after. He was none other than Qin Feng¡¯s partner, Nangong Zeming.

    Nangong Zeming was surprised to find them near the rift too.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to see you all here!¡±

    Qin Feng and the rest greeted him as well. The arrival of Nangong Zeming caught them by surprise too.

    Nangong Zeming sized them up closely. The aura that exploded from here earlier was abnormally vibrant. He immediately found the source.

    ¡°Regent Tung, congrattions on your upgrade!¡± Nangong Zeming said.

    ¡°I am not the only one. Qin Feng has reached S-tier too.¡± Tung Yang did not want to be put under the spotlight when someone more brilliant like Qin Feng was around.

    Nangong Zemingughed bigheartedly. ¡°I have worked with him to develop a dimension just recently. It doesn¡¯t shock me one bit that he has reached S-tier. He already had that in him when we first met. Besides, he is the only exception I know that was allowed into the Human Alliance before reaching S-tier. Now that you are also an S-tier, you should go and register your name under the alliance. I will lead you thereter.¡±

    ¡°Thanks!¡±

    ¡°Haha! Please don¡¯t take away my honor! I should be the one who introduces Tung Yang,¡± Jiao Linhan objectedughingly.

    ¡°Cool. Save me the trouble. Regent Tung, please don¡¯t me me for not helping you in the future!¡±

    ¡°No, no! Please don¡¯t say that.¡±

    After the initial small talks, Nangong Zeming finally remembered his purpose ofing here. He measured therge rift with concern. The jubnt atmosphere revolving around Tung Yang¡¯s promotion evaporated rapidly.

    ¡°This rift is scarier than the spatial beastst time. Is there a powerful beast around here just now? I sensed an unusual aura around earlier.¡±

    Tung Yang and Jiao Linhan tried to maintain a poker face. They wanted to keep the secret but were still too astounded to think of any pretense that could prevaricate Nangong¡¯s question.

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, wasfortable in his own skin. Endo was not the first SS2-tier he had killed, and would not be thest. Thus, his mind was at peace.

    ¡°Though the rift has been open for some time now, no beast has emerged from it as far as we know. Not only that, ample runes are oozing out from it. It is rich enough to enhance any ability user near it. As for the aura you mentioned, it belongs to Endo from the Dark Coalition.¡±

    ¡°The Violent Butcher? Are you guys alright?¡±

    Qin Feng continued to build on his lie smoothly. He said calmly, ¡°We are fine. He almost had us. Luckily I have a life-saving gem at disposal, which is ruined now. Endo left us after that and chose to enter the rift instead. He mentioned something about the Runic Realm. I guess he knows what hides behind this rift.¡±

    ¡°Runic Realm?¡± Nangong Zeming was shocked. ¡°Could it be...¡±

    ¡°Master Nangong knows where this rift leads to?¡± Tung Yang quickly changed the topic seeing that Qin Feng had made the lie sound usible. He did not want to discuss Endo anymore.

    Besides, he was eager to know what Runic Realm was. Was this dimension really as good as Endo imed?

    Qin Feng pretended that this was his first time hearing the name as well. In fact, he had little info regarding this in his past life. The only thing he knew was that such a giant rift existed in the ocean, and only an S-tier was allowed to visit.

    ¡°The Runic Realm is very different from the dimensions we know about. However, as an ancient warrior, I am not that well-informed either. All I know is that such a dimension is a blessing to ability users.¡±

    Endo had said something simr as well.

 Chapter 1005 - Runic Galaxy Realm

    <h4>Chapter 1005: Runic Gxy Realm</h4>

    ¡°So, what exactly is this Runic Realm?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    ¡°How should I put this... The realms we know so far are usually formed from an immortal¡¯s core billions of years after their deaths. However, couldn¡¯t there be a more powerful realm that originated from something else?¡±

    ¡°From the information that we have grasped, the lowest realms are entities like territories or walls, which could be constructed by elects or spatial beasts alone.¡±

    ¡°Then, an intermediate realm refers to those housing a single orrge continent that supports life within it. These are the ones formed after the deaths of Immortals.¡±

    ¡°Above that are superior realms, where humans have yet to find a way to detect its boundaries. It epasses numerouss or several continents. Some could even exist in the form of multiple ovepping dimensions.¡±

    ¡°Finally, there¡¯s the most mysterious type of realm being ssified as mythical. Amazingly, such a dimension is filled with materialized runes.¡±

    ¡°Mythical realms orbit randomly in the void like other dimensions. Due to its unstable energy fluctuation, it would often disrupt the space when colliding with another realm, thus creating a spatial rift. When an ability user enters it, they would for sure benefit enormously from the encounter,¡± Nangong Zeming exined with little excitement. In fact, a sense of disappointment could be felt within his tone.

    That was because Nangong Zeming was not an ability user. This Runic Realm had nothing to do with him.

    ¡°I never knew such an amazing ce existed.¡± Tung Yang was jubnt. From his perspective, this was a blessing given to him by God. He seized the opportunity and attained S-tier immediately. He could probably obtain more if he crossed the rift.

    But Nangong Zeming cautioned them.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know what the hidden dangers are. Besides, you just said that Endo has entered the realm earlier. It would be dangerous if you guys bump into him again inside. We should wait for more aptitude users and enter together. Unfortunately, currently, we don¡¯t have any SS-tier users around.¡±

    There were currently only two SS-tiers in Huaxia. One was an elder from the Long family, called Long Chen; while another one was Prince Xiao¡¯s father, Li Mu.

    Like Nangong Zeming, both of them were ancient warriors. They would not gain anything from the Runic Realm. More so, they might be harmed by the overly concentrated runes, like what happened to Tung Yang earlier.

    Nangong Zeming¡¯s concern was unnecessary because Qin Feng had killed Endo.

    Tung Yang was aware of this fact. He had no fear of a dead man and only wanted to explore the realm as soon as possible.

    ¡°Judging from what Nangong told us, this realm is definitely muchrger than our realm. Though Endo entered before us, chances are slim that we would meet him there. In my opinion, the risk is not as high. More importantly, abandoning such a great opportunity would be a huge blow to their confidence and pride as an ability user.¡± Jiao Linhan chipped in.

    He was speaking up for Qin Feng and Tung Yang. After failing to recruit Qin Feng as his underling, Jiao Linhan now tried his best to tter Qin Feng after witnessing his dominance first hand.

    Tung Yang and Qin Feng knew his intention. They dly epted his assistance.

    ¡°That¡¯s right. I am going in no matter what. As one of the leaders of the Human Alliance, I have the responsibility to stop Endo,¡± Tung Yang said righteously.

    ¡°I am willing to go with you,¡± Qin Feng resonated. Actually, they both knew that they would never find Endo there. The only thing that was waiting inside would be the treasures of the mythical realm.

    ¡°Alright then. Please be wary at all times. Also, please don¡¯t go too far from the entrance. Nobody knows how long this rift will persist. Spatial waymarks are useless in such a realm filled with runes. Unless you have a spatial beast... Wait, I forgot that you have Lady Bai Li tagging along.¡± Nangong Zeming grinned. He had given up on stopping them. ¡°Hope the three of you gain aplenty and soar high after this encounter.¡±

    ¡°Hope that you are right.¡±

    At the same time, they could sense more aptitude users approaching through their conscious probe. Qin Feng and Tung Yang did not want to waste more time. They bid farewell to Nangong Zeming and Jiao Linhan, then stepped into the rift determinedly.

    The time they needed to cross the tunnel seemed longer than usual. When their vision and senses came back to them, Qin Feng felt that he was sinking in mud.

    He realized that he was on top of a sea of fire runes. Thanks to his superior strength, the strong affinity between his own fire runes and the external ones, and his experience in Geo Heart, Qin Feng did not feel scorched despite being covered in mes.

    Bai Li was right next to him and appeared unaffected too. As for Tung Yang, he was about a hundred meters away from them being engulfed by vast emerald runes.

    ¡°Argh!¡± Tung Yang struggled mightily. He was helpless as the rune waves rushed him into a sea a thousand meters away.

    The redva pool, the green woond, and the blue sea¡ªthese were all the geographical edges neighboring the opened rift. Once they plunged into this realm, theva, trees, and sea immediately dissociated into their rawest forms.

    The rift above them was like a funnel. Elements around it from the other side kept falling into this world and disintegrated into runes.

    ¡°This ce is fascinating. The power is a little too rough, though.¡± Tung Yang¡¯s face was pale. He had just attained S-tier. Thus, he was still not strong enough to fully withstand the ferocious aura here.

    Qin Feng nced around and discovered that he could still see the gxy there. The raging energy from the gxy was several folds fiercer aspared to that outside Omnesflores.

    No wonder Tung Yang was strained. An A-tier would not have survived for a second here. They would probably be torn apart by the rune storm immediately.

    Qin Feng spread his consciousness to survey the surrounding area.

    His conscious probe expanded as far as it could.

    Amon S-tier had a detection limit of up to one hundred kilometers. Qin Feng, being a deity-tier elect, could detect ten times further away. After mastering all nine ability types, he could now view up to neen times a normal S-tier was capable of.

    But his mega vision was heavily impeded here. He could only manage two hundred kilometers, which was formidable considering the circumstances.

    He saw multiples made by runes hovering around in this realm. They varied in size and some even had runic organisms on them. He could see S-tiers everywhere. It was extremely dangerous but at the same time held a lot of promises.

    Qin Feng superimposed the image of the hovering runes to the edge of a star cluster.

    ¡®No wonder the S-tiers named this ce Runic Gxy Realm!¡¯

    This world was tied with Earth for seven years. The connection would probablyst for a long time.

    The energy and runes in this ce could perhaps help the depleting Earth dimension.

    ¡®Is this godsend for our world?¡¯

 Chapter 1006 - Nine-Element Deity Class Ability User

    <h4>Chapter 1006: Nine-Element Deity ss Ability User</h4>

    Qin Feng snapped out of his thoughts. The more important thing to do now was to strengthen himself by absorbing the runes around him.

    Ssh!

    A stream ofva spurted up andnded on Qin Feng¡¯s body. The runes around him began to behave aggressively when the extreme heat did not seem to bother Qin Feng.

    Theva began to reject Qin Feng as if it could identify him as a foreign entity. It was like adding a drop of water into a pot of boiling oil.

    ¡°me Build!¡±

    Qin Feng slowly transformed into a human torch. The transformation allowed him to merge better with theva around him.

    As such, theva no longer reacted violently. This gave Qin Feng an opening.

    ¡°Absorption!¡±

    Theva was gradually soaked up by Qin Feng. His ability core was strengthened little by little.

    ¡°I am going there!¡± Bai Li said and immediately jumped into a silver stream. It was clearly where the spatial runes were concentrated at.

    Bai Li had absorbed some of them earlier. Nevertheless, the number of runes leaked to the Earth¡¯s surface was only minimal, which did not help Bai Li much. It was a different story here. The vast runes were precious even to an advanced beast like Bai Li.

    Tung Yang faced the same problem as Qin Feng. He struggled in the blue sea and barely sustained the poundings. Through his consciousness, he sensed what Qin Feng had done and emted thetter¡¯s approach. After using Hydro Shift, Tung Yang integrated himself better with the sea of runes and could finally assimte them.

    It was a strenuous effort that squeezed almost all the stamina out of Tung Yang. This was because Tung Yang was also greatly affected by the energy storm from above.

    At the center of theva pool, Qin Feng had almost submerged himself entirely in it. The pulling force of the vortex between his brows grew stronger and stronger. Theva began to spin and whirled into Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm.

    Qin Feng dried up the three-hundred-square-meter pool in less than three minutes. His fire ability core had expanded to five centimeters in diameter.

    His surroundings turned into a void after the runes were emptied. Qin Feng sensed that the gxy force had begun to target him.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng¡¯s skeleton crackled under the pressure of the violent energy storm. Other people¡¯s bones might have ruptured under such immense force.

    Though theva pool was dangerous, the force from the gxy was obviously more threatening.

    ¡°Rampage Influx!¡±

    Qin Feng moved swiftly and hid inside the forest.

    It was the same forest Tung Yang had fallen into just now. However, Tung Yang was grappled by vines right at the forest¡¯s edge and almost could not get free.

    Besides the vines, a thick poison fog had also risen within the forest. The toxin was as lethal as an S-tier ability.

    ¡°Wood Shift!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s body immediately turned into a log. He mimicked the form of a tree and began to absorb the wood runes.

    Another person came through the rift while he was enjoying the supplement.

    A familiar face¡ªLord of Lightning, On.

    Following him, one after another ability user emerged through the rift. Some were caught in an ipatible rune pool, while others were lucky enough to fall right into their dominant rune type.

    Fortunately, these were allposed aptitude users. None were killed so far.

    Not longter, an ability user arrived at Qin Feng¡¯s region.

    The user looked at Qin Feng¡¯s ¡°tree¡± in awe.

    ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss. Find a ce for yourself and meditate quietly!¡± Qin Feng voiced through his consciousness. The visitor was none other than Voodoo Lord.

    ¡°Yes, My Lord!¡± Voodoo Lordplied obediently. This forest had plenty of runes to support two harvesters.

    However, after Voodoo Lord left, more aptitude users came into the forest. They immediately recognized the shapeshifted tree but none of them spoke to him. Instead, they followed suit to absorb the runes.

    Qin Feng did not want to expose too much of his true abilities. After all, he counted that at least thirty users had entered this Runic Realm.

    If half of them were ability users, then a quarter of the Human Alliance¡¯s S-tier ability users were in here at this moment. Of course, some of them probably came from the Dark Coalition.

    That was still too much exposure in Qin Feng¡¯s opinion.

    ¡°Regent Tung, I am going deeper. Do you want to follow me?¡± He already guessed the answer before he asked the question.

    As he had expected, Tung Yang rejected his offer through telepathy, ¡°Go ahead. I am already exhausted here. After a while more, I probably need to return to our realm first. It¡¯s safer for me to stay closer to the rift. Good luck to you and please be careful!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    After talking to Tung Yang, Qin Feng then turned to the silver stream Bai Li was in. The spatial runes were almost bottomed out by her. Bai Li¡¯s assimtion speed wasparable to that of Qin Feng¡¯s.

    More precisely speaking, she was not actually assimting the runes but simply packing them up. Bai Li had a personal dimension that could stock the runes forter use. In that sense, she could even collect the runes slightly faster than Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability.

    ¡°Bai Li, let¡¯s move on.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li immediately teleported to Qin Feng¡¯s side. They headed toward a ce with thicker runes following the fluctuation of the clusters.

    Qin Feng had mastered nine rune types. In other words, he could absorb anything except the light type. After Qin Feng had picked an ideal spot, Bai Li then searched for the nearest cluster filled by spatial runes. In this ce, Bai Li could move more freely with little hindrance in between the spatial regions.

    Qin Feng caused an immediate explosion bynding on a region ravaged by a thunderstorm. Simrly, he covered himself in thunder form and opened the whirlpool.

    Without reservation, he finished the thunder pool in about three hours this time.

    His Absorption Ability became more powerful in parallel to his enhanced ability cores. As such, it became easier and easier for him to absorb these runes.

    ¡°Next!¡±

    Qin Fengnded on a metal continent next. Numerous metals molded into the shape of swords and sabers, swinging in Qin Feng¡¯s way ferociously.

    The metal weapons were useless against Qin Feng. They were all melted and absorbed by him as soon as they touched his body.

    Boom!

    Bam!

    Stt!

    Ssh!

    All sorts of repulsion effects took ce whenever Qin Feng switched to a new region.

    The more runes Qin Feng absorbed, therger his ability cores became.

    After doing this repetitively for one day, other than his one meter dark core and ten centimeter ice core, his other cores had reached ten centimeter diameters as well.

    This meant that his other abilities had also reached S-tier.

    Such a rapid upgrade was awesome!

    This was when a curious sound reached his consciousness.

    ¡°Why have the runes here be thinner instead?¡±

    The question was raised by an SS-tier aptitude user.

 Chapter 1007 - Meeting SS-tiers again

    <h4>Chapter 1007: Meeting SS-tiers again</h4>

    The SS-tier was ady carrying a violent gale. ¡®One out of neen.¡¯ Qin Feng quickly grasped her identity.

    An SS-tier from the Japanese Alliance, Seinakawa.

    Without Seinakawa, the Japanese Alliance would never reach the height it was at now. This woman was touted to be the most powerful deity by aptitude users from the Japanese Alliance. Of course, it was just a boastful im.

    Then again, not every alliance had an SS-tier to boast about.

    Another two ability users appeared after her.

    Only SS-tiers could have advanced so far. They could be from either the Human Alliance or the Dark Coalition.

    Indeed, the first that came into sight was a man coated entirely in a ck, deadly aura.

    A dark ability user¡ªSinghnar, Grim Diablo.

    He had lived for so long that no one knew which faction of the Dark Coalition he actually belonged to.

    The one that appearedter had a body coated by metallic paint.

    His signature outlook made it simple for Qin Feng to guess his identity.

    A metal-type elect from the Meherz Empire¡ªRick, the Ster Steel.

    The Dead Silent City that Qin Feng had visited before was part of Meherz.

    The three SS-tiers simultaneously realized that the runes here were much thinner than the spots they had just passed through.

    ¡°Why is there an S-tier here?¡± Seinakawa raised her voice. After seeing Qin Feng¡¯s ck hair and ck iris, she asked impatiently, ¡°Which alliance do you belong to?¡±

    The Japanese Alliance¡¯s status in the Human Alliance was elevated thanks to Seinakawa. However, the number of S-tiers in the alliance was still sparse. Though Seinakawa had no recollection of Qin Feng, she was certain that he did note from her alliance.

    ¡°Huaxia!¡±

    A slight grimace surfaced and faded off quickly from the SS-tier¡¯s face.

    The territory of the Japanese Alliance was rtively small, and they had been eyeing thends of Huaxia for quite some time now. However, they could not find any reason to ask Huaxia to give up the territories. The two SS-tiers protecting Huaxia were not someone Seinakawa dared to provoke.

    Thus, she held a grudge against anyoneing from Huaxia.

    ¡°Huaxia has added another S-tier? Unbelievable.¡± The thought came straight out of Seinakawa¡¯s mind. Her emotion wasid bare, and Qin Feng could crisply sense the displeasure in her tone.

    She despised the growth of Huaxia despite them being under the same alliance. Seinakawa¡¯s narrow-mindedness made her a foe to Huaxia, Qin Feng thought to himself.

    Qin Feng ignored Seinakawa while quietly slowing down the speed of rune absorption. He needed to stay extra vignt in the face of Seinakawa, even more so toward Singhnar.

    That was because he was currently immersed in a dark, decayingnd. Dark waves of energy pulsed into Qin Feng¡¯s body continuously.

    Singhnar observed him disgruntledly.

    Though Qin Feng had considerably slowed down the absorption speed, it was still too fast from others¡¯ perspectives.

    At this rate, the dark runes on thisnd would be emptied in no time.

    ¡°Get the hell out!¡± Singhnar did not want to look for another spot because this ce seemed to be safe. He could simply kill the S-tier if he disobeyed his order.

    However, at this point, Singhnar did not know yet that he would soon regret his arrogance.

    Qin Feng did not want others to see his capability. That did not mean he would run away cowardly when others brought trouble to him.

    He had confidence in his current skill level. If anyone wanted trouble with him, they would get what they wished for.

    ¡°Come if you dare. Otherwise, get out of my sight,¡± Qin Feng warned coldly.

    SS-tiers were a rare breed. Only neen were present in their realm.

    Qin Feng had put one down earlier. He did not mind killing another.

    ¡°What did you say? Did I hear you right? Do you know who I am?¡± Singhnar mocked Qin Feng. He thought that Qin Feng was being recklessly ignorant in talking to him in this way.

    Rick, who had not spoken till now looked at Qin Feng in disbelief.

    Seinakawa was ring at Qin Feng as well. She had no intention to help Qin Feng. In fact, she quietly wished that Singhnar would kill him for her. That way, it would weaken the Huaxia Alliance¡¯s general battle strength.

    Qin Feng said what he had to say and turned away from Singhnar. He did not want to waste time on them and focused again on absorbing the runes. Though it was just a tiny change, the sensitive SS-tiers immediately noticed that the depth of the rune cloud had lowered by one millimeter.

    One millimeter of such arge area was equivalent to countless runes.

    Singhnar could no longer hold back his anger. Qin Feng¡¯s reluctance to leave as told was a challenge to his authority.

    Boom!

    Singhnar charged into the darknd. He was covered by dark runes instantaneously.

    ¡°What!?¡± Singhnar finally experienced first-hand the density of the rune sea. He had to resist the runes and the gxy force simultaneously with every ounce of his energy. As a result, he could only manage to absorb the dark runes bit by bit.

    That was actually the norm.

    Previously at Dragonspine Valley, most SS-tiers were scared of the dark waves inside the Immortal¡¯s realm as well. The death waves here were even wilder than that. This was not a ce where Singhnar could behave atrociously as he pleased.

    Qin Feng sneered. ¡°Do you still want to fight me now? Know your ce. I can kill you anytime I want.¡±

    Singhnar¡¯s face reddened out of fury.

    ¡®I am going to teach you a lesson once I have absorbed all these runes.¡¯ Singhnar vowed quietly. He did not dare to provoke Qin Feng now.

    The two other SS-tiers were bewildered to see Singhnar swallow his pride and do nothing despite Qin Feng¡¯s humiliation. They did not stay for long and went to their respectivepatible rune spots.

    A bnce was maintained between the four of them. They did not interfere with one another.

    However, aspared to Rick and Seinakawa, Singhnar was in the worst shape. His mind was clouded by anger, and his eyes were bloodshot. The dark force crept into his turbulent conscious realm and created a demon.

    However, before he lost grip of himself, the dark runes around him thinned rapidly.

    It was not easy for an SS-tier to be possessed by the mental demon, to begin with. As soon as the runes were trimmed, the dark energy stopped invading Singhnar¡¯s mind. That helped him to regain his sanity.

    Upon waking up from his blinding anger, Singhnar realized that there were not many runes left.

    ¡®When? How?¡¯ Singhnar was petrified. He had only been here for at most three hours.

    Singhnar raised his head and looked toward Qin Feng. He saw the vortex between Qin Feng¡¯s brow, and the final bits of dark runes were swirling into his conscious realm through it.

    Suddenly, Singhnar was wary of Qin Feng.

 Chapter 1008 - Bribing Qin Feng

    <h4>Chapter 1008: Bribing Qin Feng</h4>

    Singhnar suddenly hesitated as he turned his back on his previous decision and decided to not attack Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng did not n to punish Singhnar and instead traversed through the gxy. In a matter of moments he had crossed ten thousand meters andnded on anothernd of runes.

    Coincidentally, this was and of wind runes and it was also where Seinakawa was.

    It was a massive tornado that spanned up to tens of thousands of meters wide. There was something else within this tornado, those had to be Sacred Stones floating about in there. There looked to be about hundreds of them, otherwise thisnd would not have been formed.

    Seinakawa was approaching this with caution. When the tornado whizzed over, the des of wind being tossed out were too powerful. One misstep and the result would be getting cut in half.

    At this moment, Qin Feng came into view.

    ¡°Why is he here?¡± Just when Seinakawa was still trying to process that, Qin Feng could be seen plunging into the tornado.

    ¡°Does he want to die?¡± Seinakawa¡¯s eyes widened.

    Very quickly, she realized she was wrong. She was very wrong.

    Wind runes were very flexible and they were even more destructive. A de generated from the wind element could not be evaded even if the body was transformed into wind runes, so it was more difficult to deal with. As a result, Seinakawa was not very quick in absorbing the runes.

    But now, Qin Feng was standing there and instead of using the Wind Form move, he propped up his internal force.

    Seinakawa had never seen such a thing before, an S-tier ability user who unexpectedly had the internal force of an SS-tier ancient warrior.

    It looked way too dense.

    The tornado¡¯s area of effect could not do anything against him at all as Qin Feng simply walked inside.

    Then, a vortex formed at the center of his brows and a strong amount of power forcibly pulled thisnd of wind runes into his conscious realm.

    This tug of war turned the originally stabilized rotation of the wind runes into an awkward spiral, twisting strangely in an unnatural rotation.

    It was like a link in a chain was broken, causing the wind runes that formed the tornado to wildly blow around.

    Qin Feng strode forward through this turbulent wind and soon reached the center of the tornado.

    The eye of the storm was calm but what Seinakawa found uneptable was the fact that where Qin Feng stood was where the Sacred Wind Stones were located.

    ¡°A good find, looks like the closer you are to the Rune Gxy Realm¡¯s center the more Sacred Stones there are. It¡¯s really a waste of time to absorb liquid-like runes!¡±

    With that thought running through Qin Feng¡¯s head, his consciousness had already incorporated a hundred and thirty five Sacred Wind Stones of different sizes into it.

    Boom boom boom!

    The Sacred Stones burst and entered the wind ability core, causing it to expand in size.

    From the beginning till the end, it took him only about two hours, and the ce where this massive tornado had been was already destroyed as wind runes began to spread out, revealing only the vacuum of space.

    Seinakawa had an expression of loss on her face, unsure of what she should make of this. Condemn Qin Feng for snatching away her resources? Or force him to cough up some Sacred Stones?

    Neither of which seemed to be right.

    The scene of what unfolded was really shocking.

    This was not something that an S-tier ability user would be able to do at all.

    However, Qin Feng did not bother with Seinakawa and went off to another region. This time he hopped off toward a water one. That kind of rune field did not fit her at all, there was no way she would be able to enter it.

    As such, Seinakawa and Singhnar could only stare at Qin Feng in shock as he absorbed another region in the matter of two hours.

    ¡®Holy crap, did the Huaxia Alliance really pump out such a monster?!¡¯ These two were thinking.

    Not only was he a dark ability user, he manipted the elements of wind, water and even the internal force he exposed was just like an ancient warrior¡¯s.

    Was there anything he could not do?

    Seinakawa gave up the idea of looking for trouble with Qin Feng. In the Runic Gxy Realm, the things that were the most plentiful were rune fields. Seinakawa and Singhnar flew out dozens of kilometers before they found ces with the same runes. Meanwhile, their consciousnesses were keeping track of Qin Feng, seemingly wanting to see what other astonishing things he could do.

    Soon, he challenged their understanding again.

    Hepletely leveled all the rune fields and he did not leave a single one behind. He was not picky, moving onto the second, the third, the fourth...

    He could go to different kinds of rune fields, nobody could figure out what his ability core was like in his conscious realm and how massive it would be.

    Even Rick, who had been absorbing metal runes, was deprived of his resources by Qin Feng and was forced to go somewhere else.

    ¡°Things can¡¯t go on like this, we need to go talk to him. Someone moving through the gxy with that violent of a force isn¡¯t something we can stop. If the runes here all disappear then we¡¯re going to have to go somewhere else!¡± Seinakawa was the first one to speak.

    Although Singhnar was not a member of the Human Alliance, they were still part of the same realm and sometimes, there woulde a time where everyone had to work together.

    However, he did not want to deal with Qin Feng at all.

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you one of the strongest ones in the Human Alliance? You go tell him, why do I have to say anything! I¡¯ve still got S-tiers to fight over territory with!¡± Singhnar said.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go then!¡± Rick said. The Meherz Empire and the Huaxia Alliance were far away from each other and there was rarely any conflict between them. Besides, Rick did not think Qin Feng would be a difficult person to talk to.

    Besides, he was pretty sure that Qin Feng had no problems walking around in the central area if he wished without any harm done to him at all.

    ¡°Mister, can we talk for a bit?¡± Rick¡¯s consciousness reached out to Qin Feng¡¯s.

    ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± In his heart, Qin Feng already knew what Rick was going to say!

    During his previous snatch-away, he had already disyed his force to let these three SS-tier aptitude users know that he was not someone they could easily mess with but at the same time he was not an aggressive person. These people were just here to absorb energy from the rune fields and he did not care about them!

    ¡°It¡¯s like this, while this star cluster has a lot of rune fields and there are only four of us here, how about we share this peacefully and agree to not step into a field if someone is already in it. Alright? Of course, I know this might not be fair for you, but I have something here for you that might be useful.¡±

    Rick pulled out a spatial rune equipment and threw it in Qin Feng¡¯s direction. Qin Feng used his consciousness to scan its contents and found out that it contained the body of a standard SS-tier ultra beast.

    The only SS-tier ultra beast that Qin Feng had ever seen was the Bloodlust Centipede Broodmother. The other ones that he had wanted to hunt down, he had never had the chance to encounter.

    The one that Rick had given him was not just any average beast. It was a Titan Turtle. Its blood contained a vigorous aura that could increase one¡¯s vitality, it was very useful for ancient warriors.

    These were not expensive, but making things convenient for Qin Feng was enough.

    ¡°Sure!¡±

    He agreed.

 Chapter 1009 - Violent Force

    <h4>Chapter 1009: Violent Force</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    He decided to give up on this metal rune field, there were other ces to go and Qin Feng would not be the person to screw someone out of their deal.

    Upon seeing his behavior, Seinakawa and Singhnar started to rx but soon found out that after he had absorbed other rune fields, he arrived at where they were.

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you just agree to note to our rune field if you see us on it?¡± Seinakawa hissed through gritted teeth.

    Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, his expression was that of muted indifference.

    ¡°I promised him, I didn¡¯t promise you guys!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Seinakawa felt only anger piling up in her heart and even had an urge to fight Qin Feng so that she could crush this arrogant boy to death. When she thought about his rampant rune absorption and his dense internal force, she could only suck on her teeth.

    ¡°How can I get you to give up some fields?¡±

    ¡°Do what Rick did, take something out. Make it meaningful if you¡¯re making me give up such arge amount of resources!¡±

    The way Qin Feng said this made Seinakawa feel as if she was talking to a loan shark.

    When she was in other realms, it was not that she had never been forced to be subservient, in fact it wasmon that she would have to kowtow to someone superior.

    However on Earth she was definitely the kind that was one in a million. How would anyone be able to threaten a top-tier aptitude user?

    Now, there was Qin Feng constantly absorbing wind runes, causing the original rune fields to gradually disappear. If she missed out on these, then she would have to waste more energy looking around for more fields. She could only grit her teeth and pay the price.

    In this particr moment, Seinakawa despised Qin Feng, and judging from his character he would want something equally valuable in return so that she could peacefully absorb runes.

    ¡°Take this, that should be enough!¡± She raised a hand and tossed forward a massive three-meter-long crystal box.

    Qin Feng looked at the crystal box and within it was a wooden figure that was almost indistinguishable from the human shape.

    ¡°Wood King Ginseng!¡±

    This was an SS-tier king level mutant nt, and at the same time a top quality spirit grass.

    When one was at thest of their breath, just one wisp from this ginseng would instantly revitalize them. Lower levels would probably instantly explode due to the sheer amount of power.

    This kind of object could not be measured in merely mary value, but whenpared to a vast amount of wind rune fields, it was a small price to pay.

    He did not think there would be such a boon. He stowed the item away, feeling very pleased.

    ¡°You can cultivate here then!¡± Qin Feng said before turning around to leave. He crossed over a few rune fields, wanting to sabotage Singhnar along the way.

    When Singhnar saw Qin Feng, his first reaction was to just turn and move away.

    He did not want to cultivate here anymore and he did not want to be threatened by a lesser being such as Qin Feng. People in the Dark Coalition like him were used to being free and acting without restraint, doing whatever they want, whenever they want.

    ¡°Heh!¡± Qin Feng let out augh but he did not chase after Singhnar. Absorbing runes were more important.

    After that little incident, everyone truly coexisted in peace, but the other two also saw the terror that was Qin Feng.

    With the absorption speed of Seinakawa and Rick, they would take about half a month to absorb a rune field. Qin Feng could absorb one within two to three hours.

    In the Runic Gxy Realm, one could encounter a rune field every few kilometers. Looking around now, there were fewer and fewer rune fields, giving it a very lonely feel. The only ones that were left were Seinakawa¡¯s wind rune fields and Rick¡¯s metal rune fields.

    All the rest had been consumed by Qin Feng.

    Until this point, it had only been two days since the rift opened!

    Outside of that rift when the Runic Gxy Realm was named, it ended up attracting the attention of the Human Alliance on Earth as well as those from the Dark Coalition as well.

    Arge number of aptitude users wanted toe over to hone themselves. Due to the fact that the realm was situated in a dangerous ocean, B-tiers could not set foot on it at all but the A-tiers had already arrived!

    ¡°So many runes, this is truly wonderful.¡±

    ¡°With so many runes, I¡¯ll definitely reach S-tier!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s so rich here, the resources through that rift must be even better!¡±

    Many people thought so and the first batch of A-tiers stepped through the rift.

    After traversing through that rift for who knows how long, three A-tiers finally entered the realm.

    In the next moment, a violent force squashed down upon their bodies.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°Ah!! What is this power? No! Save me, save me!¡±

    ¡°No!!!¡±

    The three people cried out and used countless methods but none of their runes were released. The powerful and violent force tore the three people apart.

    Pop pop pop!

    Those three people exploded like human bombs.

    Such a scene surprised even the S-tiers aptitude users. The violent forces here were powerful but they did not expect the impact to be so great!

    However, soon these S-tier aptitude users also felt threatened.

    That was because the violent force was initially deterred by them but eventually it seeped into them and affected their bodies. Within two days, they felt it burrowing into their bones and it was getting harder and harder to resist it.

    Three days seemed to be the limit of the S-tiers.

    Therefore, while the Rune Gxy Realm was an ability user¡¯s paradise that did not mean they could stay in paradise every day.

    Tung Yang recently became an S-tier but after gritting his teeth and persisting for two days he could no longer endure the oppressiveness of the violent force. Finally, he followed the rift to leave the area.

    After passing through the rift, he reached Earth, a realm where the energy in the air was thin. The experience beyond that rift made him feel extremely relieved to be back.

    When he checked his body, only then did he realize how bad it was for him.

    In his consciousness, his ability core had reached up to the diameter of three centimeters, but physically he was like an old man in histe years. Most of his bodily functions were almost destroyed.

    Moreover, that force was still raging within him and he could only use his consciousness to constantly repel this violent force to get it out of his body.

    This process was extremely slow and it needed more than ten days before he could sessfully expel it all.

    In other words, an S-tier could only enter the Rune Gxy Realm twice a month.

    However, for those SS-tier aptitude users, their endurance was greater. After half a month had passed, Seinakawa and Rick were still absorbing the rune field they were on. The growth to their ability core was a delightful surprise to them. However, once the rune fields were smaller the violent force came in and they realized that their bodies were in a terrible condition.

    ¡°Can¡¯t go on like this, must leave!¡±

    The two quickly retreated. As for Qin Feng, they could on longer find him and did not bother looking for him.

    At this time, Qin Feng was still in the Runic Gxy Realm. The difference between him and everyone else was that he could absorb even the violent force.

    This meant that he could stay in this realm for an infinite amount of time.

 Chapter 1010 - A Thousandfold Gap

    <h4>Chapter 1010: A Thousandfold Gap</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    The Runic Gxy Realm went from being lively to lonely, but outside of the realm the uproar caused by the Runic Gxy Realm was not over yet.

    Countless ability users had congregated, trying to stabilize this rift and even form a spatial tunnel as they tried to connect the Runic Gxy Realm to the Earth Realm.

    With such a favorable circumstance, something that was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was something they did not want to let go.

    Qin Feng naturally knew that, in fact, the huge spatial rift would slowly close. However, in the end thanks to the efforts of countless ability users, a spatial tunnel of more than thirty meters in diameter was established. It became a sacred ce that S-tiers could enter once every month.

    Despite all this, it had nothing to do with Qin Feng at all. When people were trying to figure out how to further deter the interference caused by the violent force, he was still absorbing runes!

    As the diameter of his ability cores increased, the more resources were needed, and the time dragged on and on.

    ¡°It will take at least half a year before my ability cores reach one meter. In that case, my strength¡¯s improvement isn¡¯t particrly significant, because generating and mastering abilities also need a lot of time!¡±

    ¡°But, I have the Sovereign Roar and dark ability is my original ability. As long as my dark ability improves then the Absorption Ability will be enhanced too!¡±

    ¡°A bird in hand is worth two in a bush. Now, I should try my best to absorb dark runes!¡±

    Although Qin Feng already had the core of other eight ability element types, the speed of him absorbing dark runes was vastly greaterpared to other runes.

    Nobody was perfect though, Qin Feng did not have any way of absorbing the light ability, but he believed that if darkness was strong enough then even light would retreat.

    As such, he gave up on absorbing every rune field in sight and went off to specifically look for dark rune fields.

    Time passed as days went on.

    A monthter, the ability users joined forces to build a spatial tunnel.

    Two monthster, another SS-tier aptitude user appeared in the Human Alliance. The alliance was shaken up and the previous status quo would be broken as a result of this SS-tier.

    Three monthster...

    In the Runic Gxy Realm, who knows how far away in that runic gxy, two figures appeared on the edge of arge dark rune field.

    These two were Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    At this time, Bai Li¡¯s aura had also changed. She had be an S1-tier beast deity. This was a rare moment for Bai Li as she hardly ever advanced.

    Qin Feng followed the surrounding energy and gradually got closer and closer to ranking up. Thendmass in front of him was his chance.

    On this dark field, there were signs of life. These kinds of lifeforms were called Runic Ones.

    Every Runic One waspletely made out of runes and its strength would not be lower than SS-tier when it was born and would perhaps be even stronger. The creature in front of him was about ten thousand meters long and approximately in the SSS-tier.

    It was just that the behemoth was ignorant, it did not have a very powerful consciousness and waspletely unaware of the fact that somewhere in the realm, a human was trying to consume it.

    Qin Feng dropped down, the dark aura around him deceiving the weak consciousness of the Runic One. After all, this creature had not grown up yet, it was just an embryo.

    ¡°Ability, Absorb!¡±

    His ability began to spread out. Compared to the Runic One, Qin Feng was more like a greedy Behemoth that quietly devoured the rune field.

    The Field carried a huge amount of consciousness and runes which entered through Qin Feng¡¯s brow and caused his consciousness and ability core to suddenly expand.

    A bit of time passed and finally a wave of energy surged through his body.

    S2-tier consciousness!

    Three months and Qin Feng had ranked up again.

    He felt that his consciousness had doubled in terms of expansion and when he used it to look into his conscious realm he saw that his dark starglobe was of immense size.

    This starglobe could perhaps be stronger than Earth¡¯s core with howrge it was.

    An ability core that was ten meters in size was a daunting sight.

    The initial core of an S-tier was around one centimeters to ten centimeters and there was a distinguishable difference between normal ones and prodigies.

    With continuous improvement, when reaching S9-tier, the ordinary person would only have about ten centimeters and a deity-level strong person had an ability core of up to one meter.

    The minimum requirement for reaching SS-tier was having an ability core of one meter. That meant if someone were a deity-level S-tier then they could definitely be ranked up to SS-tier, but ordinary S-tiers could not ever sessfully rank up in one lifetime.

    Now, Qin Feng¡¯s ten meter ability core would astonish everyone.

    At this point, the ten times difference in size did not mean it was a tenfold difference in strength but a hundredfold difference, even a thousandfold gap.

    With his ascension, the Runic One in front of him waspletely consumed and a vacuum was formed which resulted in the violent force crashing in to fill the space.

    Even though his Absorption Ability was strong, it was not invincible. At this time, Qin Feng felt its pressure.

    ¡°Retreat!¡±

    He called out to have Bai Li draw him back, through a long distance in the Runic Gxy Realm before they reached a ce where the violent force was not so oppressive.

    At this time, Qin Feng finally rxed.

    ¡°That violent force was too powerful!¡± Originally he thought that he hadplete free reign, able to go wherever he wanted, but now there was an obstacle and based on his powers, he could only stay for a short time in the location where the Runic Ones resided.

    ¡°Should we swap to somewhere else to find rune fields?¡± Bai Li asked.

    Qin Feng thought for a moment before shaking his head.

    ¡°If we¡¯re going to look at our current position from the starting point, only by moving forward would we find a stronger rune field. However, that force was too strong and the rune fields around us aren¡¯t suitable for me to absorb anymore!¡±

    While he could find rune fields, this was like a shift in appetite after consuming an entire cow to now eating bean sprouts. This was something Qin Feng could not bear.

    ¡°Instead, we¡¯ll do this. We¡¯lle back after I have reached SS-tier!¡± Qin Feng thought.

    That was because, even though his ability core was bigger, if he did not strengthen his consciousness he would not be able to use it. If this went on, would he not be an aptitude user with a partial discipline?

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯ve been here for three months!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Mhm!¡±

    Bai Li responded and followed after him as they traversed through countless rune fields and returned through the spatial rift.

    With her strength, they only took three days before they reached the spatial rift. At this time, the area had changed greatly, the rift had shrunk but the spatial tunnel had been established and there were still many S-tiers cultivating on the rune fields.

    After Qin Feng and Bai Li appeared, the ability users were surprised.

 Chapter 1011 - World Famous

    <h4>Chapter 1011: World Famous</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    After three months, this was now the sixth time Tung Yang came here and during this period he had gone to the Human Alliance for certification.

    He also witnessed the promotion banquet hosted for the twentieth SS-tier aptitude user. Of course, even until now he had not mentioned that one of the SS-tiers was in by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Regent Tung! You¡¯re still training!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Tung Yang smiled dryly. ¡°No, I¡¯ve been here a few times and I¡¯ve never seen you once!¡±

    ¡°Hm, I was inside and only just came back!¡±

    Tung Yang did not know how to express what he had on his mind. Not even SS-tiers could stay there for a long time but Qin Feng managed to do so.

    However, if he could stay in there for so long, what was the reason for himing out?

    Thinking of this, Tung Yang felt stunned and was not sure of what to say.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re nning on entering the Prodigy Tournament again!?¡±

    It was indeed November and the Prodigy Tournament was about to begin again.

    If Tung Yang did not say it, Qin Feng would not have remembered. This year was indeed thest year for Qin Feng¡¯s age limit but at this point he was not particrly interested in it.

    He ttened the Perished Land and turned it upside down. He even took away the dark armored robo-dog, what other reason would he need to go there?

    That no longer suited him.

    ¡°None of that, I came back to do some renovating and then maybe go to other realms to do some training!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°That¡¯s good, that¡¯s good!¡± Tung Yang nodded his head. If Qin Feng went to the Perished Land again, he wondered whether or not the boy would end up swallowing the Perished Land¡¯s core.

    Tung Yang¡¯s cultivation was notplete yet, so he remained where he was as Qin Feng and Bai Li left the Runic Gxy Realm.

    Three months was enough time for people to understand the realm, A-tiers no longer approached the ce and once the rift was stabilized it no longer glowed with multiple rune colors. Qin Feng had nevere here before his rebirth, and all the peace and quiet of his surroundings strongly ovepped with what he had heard from word of mouth back in the days.

    The difference being he had benefited the most out of this.

    After Qin Feng came out, he decided to go to the Dragon Capital first to verify his S-tier identity.

    Although he had his identity authenticated by the Human Alliance realm, over there, there were as many S-tiers as there were dogs and SS-tiers wandered everywhere. There was no fanfare when he became an S-tier.

    However, on the Earth Realm, in the region of the Huaxia Alliance, Qin Feng¡¯s rank-up was bound to be like a massive explosion.

    This meant that Qin Feng was below neen people while standing over tens of thousands.

    Although these people were not necessarily Qin Feng¡¯s opponents, but from appearances, Qin Feng would truly be the strongest and stand at the top of the Huaxia Alliance¡¯s pyramid.

    ***

    In Dragon Capital, Long Ting¡¯s office received Qin Feng¡¯s application. Long Ting was not very surprised by this.

    Last time Hu San took Qin Feng to meet the Human Alliance, she also knew about it. In addition, his strength had already reached S-tier, what she did not expect was that he would dy until a yearter before he decided to reach S-tier.

    Now, when the two met, Long Ting realized that there was more about Qin Feng that she did not understand.

    ¡°You are probably the only person in the Huaxia Alliance, the entire Earth Alliance even, to be a person who knows both ancient martial arts and abilities to be an S-tier!¡± Long Ting eximed. In fact, she wanted to ask how powerful he was now but that line did not leave her mouth.

    Perhaps it was a strength that was iprehensible!

    ¡°Ma¡¯am you¡¯re exaggerating!¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not exaggerating. If you say it like that you¡¯re being too humble. You must know, too much humility is also a form of arrogance!¡± Long Ting joked and then said, ¡°When S-tier aptitude users are promoted, the most important thing is a worldwide announcement. Tung Yang has justpleted that and now you¡¯re the same. This is very good for the Fengli Organization, before this nobody had any intentions on the organization but now nobody would dare to provoke it!¡±

    S-tier aptitude users also knew that Qin Feng was not someone to provoke. Although they had nned on devouring the Fengli Organization, it was still rising too quickly. In the eyes of these S-tiers, it did not have the qualification to stand on equal footing with their own groups.

    In private, there were stumbling blocks and those were all business rted. Perhaps it could be the shes between some E-tiers or D-tiers, but with small skirmishes like these even if Qin Feng knew about them he could not do anything about it.

    But, as long as he had reached S-tier, the ones with the guts to be these stumbling blocks would retreat.

    ¡°I sure hope so! Oh, right, in that case, give Bai Li an S-tier badge too but you don¡¯t need to tell the Human Alliance.¡±

    ¡°That can be arranged, but in that case I¡¯ll have to ask you to hunt down some troubles that currently can¡¯t be solved! This should probably be easy for you but Huaxia currently needs more living space!¡±

    ¡°Naturally!¡±

    The two agreed to this exchange.

    Because of the appearance of the Runic Gxy Realm, there were many more people who had reached S-tier. While the people below did not know why, the ones in upper management definitely knew what a great opportunity this was.

    Then, Qin Feng¡¯s award ceremony was also broadcasted.

    Three months ago, Tung Yang had just been given the honor and the aptitude users on the battle, the Huaxia Alliance and even the civilians knew that Huaxia had gained another patron saint.

    Unexpectedly, only three months had passed and the S-tiers that had not appeared since thest ten years had actually appeared again.

    And this person was a never before seen S-tier that was below twenty years old.

    The civilians thought that this was a mistake.

    ¡°Qin Feng? Wasn¡¯t hest year¡¯s prodigy? He was selected as a prodigy for two years in a row, how is he an S-tier now?¡±

    ¡°Did they broadcast the wrong news?¡±

    ¡°I can¡¯t believe it, since when did the S-tier title lose its value? Last time, the S-tier that was announced was some old guy, but now it¡¯s some young buck?¡±

    Compared to these people, those of the Fengli Organization, the Northern Region and people of the North Sea State were even more dumbfounded.

    ¡°When did this happen? Our governor has actually be an S-tier aptitude user!¡±

    ¡°The president became a S-tier? Last time when he disappeared for three months, what was he doing?¡±

    ¡°Our president is just built differently.¡±

    As Qin Feng made a quick decision, he also told Xue Xingfu and the others in advance. However, Xue Xingfu did not have time to blow up the news. Even after he made the announcement, the people of Fengli could not believe it. Only when Dragon Capital officially announced it did these people finally realize it.

    Fengli was already different!

    That was all because of one person, Fengli¡¯s founder.

    That being said, Fengli was always getting bigger and bigger because of this person, but they never expected that they would reach this point.

    Qin Feng, now an S-tier aptitude user, had be world famous overnight!

 Chapter 1012 - Human Peace Contest

    <h4>Chapter 1012: Human Peace Contest</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Regarding Qin Feng¡¯s promotion into S-tier, it was truly explosive news. The North Sea state, the Northern Region and the Huaxia Alliance all broadcasted a wave of grand announcements that publicized much of his mission history and achievements!

    These things were something many civilians, even the people who were not on the same level, would not know. Therefore, when an S-tier aptitude user appeared, many were happy to witness it. They could see, from the city that imprisoned them, the wonders of the outside world as well as its many terrors.

    In recent years, he had killed plenty of beast emperors and beast deities. When the information was released it added onto the publicity of his title as Marshal. Due to his previous merits, he was only A-tier in strength and not many people actually wished to recognize him as such.

    And now, he absolutely deserved that name.

    While the publications were going wild, Qin Feng was not influenced much by it.

    Fame is fame, power is power, even if you are famous, what¡¯s the point of it if you did not have the power to back it up?

    He would not get blinded by external prosperity. After resting in Fengli for three days, he checked up on the progress of the organization and had Bai Li stay behind. He nned to go to the Human Alliance realm and look for a suitable realm that he could rank up in.

    His rank up on Omnesflores waspletely idental, but he sort of missed the feeling of hunting down Insectoids. Perhaps he could go to the frontlines of Omnesflores, that would be suitable for him to rank up.

    What he did not expect was that after he arrived, when he took out hismunicator to start searching he noticed that there was a notification about news from the inner circle.

    [ Human Alliance Aptitude User Qin Feng, greetings, honor to you for having received the invitation letter to be selected to enter the Human Peace Contest. If you are interested in participating, please select ¡®Enter Tourney¡¯ to participate in the selection! ]

    ¡°Human Peace Contest? What¡¯s this?¡±

    The name was way too in and tacking on the word ¡®peace¡¯ makes it feel like it was some kind of a friendly match.

    If this was the peaceful times before the Great Rift Age, it would have been considered as a spam notification but when in the Human Alliance, Qin Feng would have to pay attention to it.

    Afterward, he searched online for ¡®human peace contest¡¯ and the info he saw surprised him.

    Humanity was a race with the ability for unlimited expansion. As long as they had no enemies, the speed of their expansion was unfathomable, even always wanting to have more space and territory. They would conquer all the realms if they could.

    Even with such ambitions, their strength was not enough, not to mention, there were two opposing factions that made up humanity. The Human Alliance and the Dark Coalition.

    If both of these factions discovered a realm, it was possible that they woulde to blows and that might damage any cordial ties as well as the strength of some S-tiers.

    So gradually the Human Alliance and the Dark Coalition organized something that was called ¡®peace contest¡¯ in name but in actuality was a life-and-death event that decided whom the realm they had found would belong to.

    During these times, if Immortals fought it would surely cause a fuss. SSS-tiers were a precious resource and could not be used, SS-tiers were in the middle-tier of importance and would rather avoid such things.

    As such, the participation fell onto the S-tiers. Those who were considered to be deity-like in the eyes of those below them, and at the same time considered as negligible by those above them.

    If they fought it was not like the important ones were getting hurt, one of them dying would not be an issue either.

    ¡°Over 300 contests have actually been held? Isn¡¯t that over a thousand years?!¡± When Qin Feng looked at the history of this he had a moment of surprise which settled into a sigh.

    These years were counted based on the time of the realm that Qin Feng was currently on. The flow of time on each realm was not necessarily the same, but the feeling of time passing was not much different for realms that could house humans.

    Therefore, ording to the average days on the realm, a peace contest would be held every one thousand realm days but for Qin Feng that meant one every three years, and that had gone on for a thousand years.

    The people in the realm knew about this contest but nobody had ever entered it.

    There just was not enough qualification.

    Qin Feng was very interested in thispetition because the reward issued was very valuable.

    ¡°The final contestant would receive a realm based on everyone they¡¯ve defeated!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s eyes glinted with interest.

    He immediately checked on the numbers of explored realms.

    In the past three years, in the past one thousand realm days, there were up to four thousand five hundred twenty nine S-tier and above realms that had been discovered by the Human Alliance.

    Of course, this did not represent the total number of realms that humanity had discovered. That was because when some realms were discovered, if they were not found together by the Human Alliance and Dark Coalition then the information was carefully passed on behind closed doors.

    In fact, nobody knew that the realm that Qin Feng was in was a realm among those ¡®undiscovered realms¡¯. The amount of ¡®undiscovered realms¡¯ was immeasurable!

    The main thing was, when both sides discovered a realm and controversy arose then a peace contest was called for distribution.

    Moreover, the principle of this distribution was very violent.

    One S-tier represented the authority to distribute one hundred realms, once an opponent was killed or defeated, then the victor would gain the authority.

    In this peace contest, twenty three people would be sent from either side, and from two sides it added up to being forty six people. As for how a number fewer than four thousand six hundred realms would be distributed, that was for upper management to deal with.

    ¡°23 enemies, if I kill 5 then I gain 5 realms. Even if I don¡¯t kill anyone, as long as I survive, a realm discovered to be S-tier would be mine. This is a tempting reward indeed!¡±

    A realm said to be S-tier did not necessarily mean it had S-tier creatures living in it but it was a realm that could give birth to an S-tier.

    Just like the realm Qin Feng was in, it was not like any small hidden realm, its surroundings were brimming with energy.

    As long as it checked that category, there would always be resources there.

    With that in mind, Qin Feng had no reason to not participate.

    As such, he clicked participate.

    After epting participation, he saw that the conditions of the contest were very simple. In fact they were just like the trials Qin Feng had gone through when he first came.

    They were tests ofbat strength, the top twenty-three would be able to participate in the peace contest.

    When he looked at the deadline he saw that there were only three hours left!

    The time to go was now!

    Qin Feng immediately jumped into the central area through the spatial gates in the residential sector before entering the trial grounds.

    While there were three hours left, those who wanted to get tested had already been tested. However, there were still some who were untested grouped up in a bunch, and there were many onlookers.

    Due to the fact that these trials were to select the top twenty three, nobody would know the results of who had won until the end of it.

    Qin Feng looked at the results of the final trial.

    Ming Tianhao: Combat power 95239!

    He was shocked!

    In the beginning, with his Asteroid Assimtion and thebat prowess of having nine frozen stars, plus the body of an A1-tier beast deity, it had given Qin Feng thebat power of 28531 thest time he was trialed. From how he saw it, that was already the limit of the S-tier.

    ¡°There¡¯s always going to be someone stronger!¡±

    Qin Feng could not help but let out a rueful sigh.

    And thest top twenty three humans all hadbat power measuring more than 80000, which was terrifying.

 Chapter 1013 - Trial

    <h4>Chapter 1013: Trial</h4>

    Everyone knuckled down in observing the participants of the trial.

    ¡°Will anyone surpass Ming Tianhao?!¡±

    ¡°It is impossible to surpass Ming Tianhao. He has mastered seven solidified internal energy stars, and achieved the rare physical capability of beast-king-tier. Rumor has it that his internal energy should not be belittled, as he is capable of outputting sixfold of hisbat energy. Not many aptitude users are able to surpass such capabilities!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, Ming Tianhao is definitely the first. But the others can still try their luck!¡±

    ¡°The peace contest is too dangerous, the first-ce title might only be valid for now. Nobody knows whether they can return alive, and a true prodigy will not participate in this!¡±

    The crowd was in a long-winded bull session, while Qin Feng had also harvested a lot of intelligence.

    Humans had been reproducing and transforming for years. Most of the matters rted tobat energy were already documented in statistical data.

    ording to statistics,bat energy of S-tier aptitude users from S-tier to SS-tier would range from one thousand to five thousand basicbat energy. Of course, the numbers were recorded with reference to the Human Alliance.

    Combat energy of ultra beasts varied from beast soldier, beast general, beast king, beast emperor to beast deity. Whenbined with the humans, they would then be categorized into elites, generals, kings, emperors, and deity ss.

    When further broken down,bat energy could be differentiated by factors of two, four, six, eight, and ten to determine individualbat energy.

    Then, the number of internal energy frozen stars would affect the multiplication ofbat energy. The higher the ranking of neigong cultivation method, the greater the multiplication ofbat energy.

    In other words, thebat energy of ancient warriors was affected by three aspects. Namely, internal energy starglobe, physical capability, and neigong level.

    It would be easier to achieve growth in physical capability at the lower tiers, and the difficulty would increase along with the tiers. Even some powerful figures that aimed to be perfect in it had to give in.

    Ming Tianhao had seven solidified internal energy starglobes, physical capability of king tier with sixfold amplification and ovepping internal energy of at least sixfold of an S-tier. He was considered a destined talent ss from the Human Alliance.

    However, he was not supported by any prominent families. Else, he could just excuse himself from joining such apetition. Despite the peacefulbelling of the contest, it was filled with extreme danger. The fatality rate was as high as eighty percent!

    But the absolute control over several realms was very enticing.

    Qin Feng was trying to figure out hisbat energy.

    ¡°My physical energy was initially measured at A1 beast deity tier, but now I already have the capability of an S-tier beast deity. Basicbat energy will be ten thousand, ifbined with ninefold amplification from my internal energy frozen stars and tenfold amplification from Asteroid Assimtion, it will then be 190000bat energy!¡±

    It was twice Ming Tianhao¡¯sbat energy.

    Consciousness of the beast deity tier would also provide an additional tenfold amplification, not to mention his massive dark core and SS-tier ability.

    However, whenpared to ancient warrior internal energy,putation of ability was more extensive and visible.

    But dark ability users were not always weed by the Human Alliance, and it was because of the horrifying effects from theirbats.

    Since ancient warrior skills would be enough to serve the purpose, Qin Feng did not have to expose too much of his capabilities.

    There were still many ahead of Qin Feng waiting to take their tests. Actually, not every one of them were there topete for the twenty three slots. It was too risky and associated with a high fatality rate. Instead, they were there to showcase their impressive performance to some of the major ns or corporations. They would then earn themselves opportunities to join them and secure a better future.

    Especially at the end, many headhuntingpanies would be there. It would drive them to showcase themselves more.

    Hence, Qin Feng only had five minutes left for his turn before the trial ended.

    The person behind Qin Feng became a little anxious. Not every aptitude user would immediately strike during their turn, some of them needed to activate their greatest internal energy for the hit. Five minutes might seem to be plentiful, but it was not sufficient at all!

    ¡°Huh, you¡¯re just a S-tier? You might as well give way for me; you are absolutely hopeless in this! Didn¡¯t you see that everyone here is an S9-tier aptitude user?¡± That person urged while pushing with quite some energy in his hand, wanting to push Qin Feng away.

    However, Qin Feng was unruffled by the push.

    Qin Feng raised his eyes and looked at the man. Then, he stood frozen still on the ground, like he was struck by a spine-chilling moment.

    ¡°I¡¯ll just get one hit and I¡¯ll leave!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s answer was as calm as a toad in the sun.

    Before that person could answer, Qin Feng had already taken a step forward and thrown out his fist.

    His movement was squeaky clean and was held back by nothing. It was exactly just one hit, like he was just there to fulfil his participation.

    But at that moment, the numbers disyed on the machine before Qin Feng ran wild.

    Qin Feng did not use his Asteroid Assimtion and he had only activated nine frozen stars to strike the normal punch. But his S-tier deity physical capability would scare someone out of their wits.

    The numbers that ran wild arrived at more than ny thousand in a blink of an eye.

    Finally, Qin Feng¡¯sbat energy numbers were fixed at 91245.

    Beep beep beep

    The machine rang.

    ¡°Please verify your identity and confirm if you wish to submit the data!¡±

    Qin Feng connected hismunicator with the machine and entered his name. Despite different writings being used in the realm, consciousness was still readable and deciphered into understandable words. It was even associated with its unique serial number.

    Qin Feng verified his identity and confirmed his data submission.

    ¡°Congrattions, yourbat energy is ranked fifth in the trial, please wait for the other participants toplete!¡±

    Although the results shown on themunicator were just temporary, there was not much time left for the trial. With the result, it was safe to say that Qin Feng had nailed it.

    Qin Feng knew that he was entitled to participate in the peace contest.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng¡¯s machine alerted everyone that was paying attention to changes on the ranking. They were all struck by the shocking moment.

    ¡°Someone has ranked up to fifth. Oh my, I can¡¯t believe someone waited until thest minute to take action.¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng? Who is this person? I have never heard of this person before.¡±

    ¡°This serial number seems to belong to someone that has just joined the Human Alliance. It has only been months.¡±

    Everyone dished out to one another as they scanned across hundreds of machines to trace Qin Feng down.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng kept a low profile and stepped down, like it was not him who owned the record that had squeezed into the fifth rank.

    Some would favor fame, but some obviously despised it. Hence, it would depend on the mood of the record holder whether to announce the results or not. From the external view, nobody would know who was behind it.

    However, there was still someone that knew who it was. Obviously, it was the aptitude user that wanted to cut Qin Feng¡¯s queue.

    As Qin Feng stepped down, his S-tier badge on the chest was clearly visible. That person immediately broke out in a cold sweat upon realizing that even with the forceful push earlier, Qin Feng was unmoved by it.

 Chapter 1014 - Human Alliance Training

    <h4>Chapter 1014: Human Alliance Training</h4>

    Qin Feng was not bothered by him. Aggravating the others would only disy him as a narrow-minded person.

    Qin Feng left quietly and it had already been five minutes. The ranking was still unchanged. At the end of five minutes, the list of names was finalized.

    The only change was the twenty-third ce that was forced down to the twenty-fourth ce and disqualified from thepetition by Qin Feng¡¯s advancement.

    Then, Qin Feng was also notified by hismunicator that his spot was secured.

    The timing seemed to be just right.

    The grand finals were set to be held in half a month after the trial. For the next half a month, the twenty three of them would have to go through training.

    Qin Feng received a spatial waymark. He had to input the waymark for the spatial entrance of his location to disable the restriction from the other end. Qin Feng would then be allowed to enter into it and go through his training.

    Qin Feng paused for a moment and informed Bai Li via their soul bond before entering the glowing entrance of the central city of the Human Alliance realm.

    The spatial waymark was interconnected and it immediately changed its colors. The moment Qin Feng stepped in, it was like the surroundings immediately sank as countless amounts of adhesive energy merged into his body within just a couple of breaths.

    Qin Feng looked at the surroundings and noticed that it was an empty white space. The soil under his feet was simr to some sort of white jade material. However, Qin Feng was assured by his feelings that they were all energy.

    Energypressed within them was more intense than energy stones.

    However, Qin Feng was not the only one there. There were others, about four to five of them were already there.

    All of them were S9-tier aptitude users, with only one SSS-tier aptitude user that stood in front and seemed awkwardly unfit.

    That person seemed to have noticed that Qin Feng was staring at him, he looked back and said, ¡°I will begin to exin once everyone is here!¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. Actually, he knew that all of them were there to join the contest.

    Then, eight more people joined in. There were twelve ancient warriors in total. Finally, the SSS-tier aptitude user began to speak again.

    ¡°I am Shao Dongfeng. Congrattions to everyone who is shortlisted to participate in this peace contest. Some of you were previously cultivated from here, while some were unexpected candidates that joined in suddenly. For the next half a month, all of you will be practicing at the core of this realm to improve further. Of course, it is unnecessary for those who have achieved S9-tier to advance further as an SS-tier aptitude user. Even if you wish to, you have to wait until the grand final is over.¡±

    That person then summoned a massive object that seemed like a ship, and it was all made from white jade. Even Qin Feng could feel the horrifying energy that was on it.

    ¡°Get onto the ship!¡±

    Some were at loss and some were confused. But some were shrewd enough to react in joy.

    Qin Feng was able to guess from the brief exnation of the SSS-tier aptitude user that some of these people were seeded yers cultivated by the Human Alliance.

    But it was normal for that to happen in the peace contest that divided realms discovered by humans in the past three years. How could the Human Alliance not secretly cultivate their candidates for such an important event?

    For example, Ming Tianhao who ranked first had beast king tier physical capability, seven solidified internal force starglobes and internal energy of a powerful S-tier that differentiated himself from the others. If he really had risen to where he was all by himself, he would definitely need to fight his way through by hook or by crook.

    But yet, why would the S9-tier aptitude user that had such a bright future take part in such a riskypetition?

    There was only one possible reason, and it was because he was cultivated.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness and senses were much stronger than those people. He secretly looked across and noticed a youth that had a significant difference in capabilities from the others. Most importantly, he definitely had the physical presence of a king tier.

    It was most probably Ming Tianhao.

    Meanwhile, Ming Tianhao stepped onto the giant white jade ship without any hesitation.

    It seemed to be safe to do so and Ming Tianhao knew where the ship was heading. Furthermore, Qin Feng was on another ship before and it looked very simr to this one.

    Certainly, it was the ice ship that he had encountered at Dragon Ind.

    Hence, Qin Feng followed those participants that knew what they were doing and stepped onto the ship.

    The others also felt no threat from the ship and followed suit.

    Although Qin Feng was careful enough to hide his secret from the other participants, it could not be hidden from Shao Dongfeng. He looked at Qin Feng and found out about his true identity.

    But he still kept it a secret for the moment. Once everyone was in, he raised his hand and the jade ship then flew up.

    As soon as the jade ship was activated, a giant rift cracked open on the ground. The ship dropped in and sank into a countless number of rifts.

    Those who had witnessed it before remained silent. But the others were excited and amazed. Finally, an aptitude user could not resist the curiosity and asked, ¡°Master Shao, is this your ship? This is unbelievable!¡±

    Although it was their first encounter, judging by the course of direction, the S-tier aptitude users knew that the ship was heading toward the core region of the realm. But surprisingly, the small ship was already capable of reaching such a secretive location. It even broke through the ground directly and continued to move forward. They were shocked and gasped in amazement.

    Despite his arrogance, Shao Dongfeng was indeed a powerful figure that had control over hundreds of realms. However, even with such capability, it was still impossible for an SSS-tier to pull it off.

    ¡°This jade ship is a unique treasure and I am not capable of creating this by myself. I am just authorized to use it!¡±

    If it was not created by Shao Dongfeng, and he was just authorized by someone. Then, the answer to it was already as clear as day.

    ¡°So, this jade ship was made by an Immortal?¡± That aptitude user was obviously shaken up by the unexpected oue.

    Although Qin Feng already knew the answer earlier, he was still amazed by it. Also, the Immortal would most probably still be alive to authorize the use of the jade ship. Meaning to say, it was as easy as taking candy from a baby for the Immortals to arrive at the core of the realm.

    ¡°This seems to make more sense. With such capabilities, perhaps there is no need to look into cores from other realms for capability enhancement. There will be unknowns everywhere. Until one has actually achieved it, it will still seem like a far-fetched level to be at, no matter how hard they look up to it!¡±

    Just like when A-tier aptitude users and those who were below looked up to the S-tiers. They could never imagine the formation of solidified internal energy and massive ergement of the ability core.

    As Qin Feng was still thinking about it, the jade ship had already prated thend¡¯s surface and entered into the core region. Surprisingly, that ce was filled with congealed liquid in translucent milk white color.

    Undoubtedly, that ce was filled with energy.

    Qin Feng also noticed that the jade ship travelled much faster than the ice ship that he was on before.

    The obvious reason was because the ice ship was not controlled by anyone, while the jade ship travelled at full speed under Shao Dongfeng¡¯s control.

    In less than three hours, they were then able to see a massive starglobe.

    As white as jade, and as solid as moon rock. It was a starglobe with five hundred meters in diameter, and also the first internal energy starglobe that Qin Feng had ever seen.

 Chapter 1015 - Strengthened Asteroid Assimilation

    <h4>Chapter 1015: Strengthened Asteroid Assimtion</h4>

    Actually, the internal energy starglobe was not an urate representation. It was just named after the human¡¯s perception.

    Every ultra beast that was incapable of controlling runes and consciousness cores would still advance to be an Immortal. Upon their deaths, they would then form into starglobes.

    Meanwhile, the jade ship floated quietly in the area. Although the translucent and milk white colored liquid was outshined by the ring light, Qin Feng knew it was exactly the purest form of energy. With its purity, it could even build up an explosive force within the human body.

    ¡°All of you have fourteen days to practice here, try your best!¡± Shao Dongfeng told everyone as he also sat down with crossed legs. For him, it was also a precious location to practice.

    The others heard the advice and immediately sat down without making any noise. They began to turn up their neigong.

    Qin Feng did not want to stand out among the others, he followed the others to sit down with crossed legs. But he still secretly lingered his senses around to observe the others.

    It was a shocking scene to look at.

    Every ancient warrior was absorbing internal energy at a horrifying pace. Especially when they were in the dedicated ce, where they were allowed to activate neigong. The top of their heads, nose tips and surroundings were covered by ayer a white smoke. It was transformed into a sea of clouds and rolled into their bodies.

    However, all of them were not as powerful as Ming Tianhao.

    Ming Tianhao sat down with crossed legs and activated his neigong. He was then surrounded by liquified intense energy that flowed into his mouth and dripped into his dantian.

    The liquid droplets then formed into the shape of a flowing pipe of water and merged into his body.

    ¡®No wonder he could congeal seven starglobes!¡¯ Qin Feng was enlightened.

    He only took a quick look at it, and he was not jealous of it at all. Compared to their neigong, Qin Feng believed that his Asteroid Assimtion was much more powerful and horrifying.

    He was caught up in the moment because the realm that he was from was way too underdeveloped, and it was his opportunity to finally open up his eyes for greater things.

    ¡®Asteroid Assimtion is powerful indeed, but it is better to not expose the skills that seem to be structured from the Dark Coalition mindset. But since I am recognized as a shortlisted S-tier, many of them already have their eyes on me. If I still perform moderately with my neigong, I might even draw unwanted attention from them. I should just be straightforward about this!¡¯

    With that in mind, Qin Feng began to sit down with crossed legs, and he activated his Asteroid Assimtion.

    Asteroid Assimtion performed by an S-tier would no longer circte internal energy throughout the entire body, but churn the internal energy frozen star and draw in energy from heaven and earth.

    ¡°First cycle!¡±

    Qin Feng aimed to do it gradually, and the first frozen star was activated.

    At that moment, energy was suddenly robbed away from Qin Feng¡¯s surroundings. A ring of water then instantly formed around him!

    If Ming Tianhao¡¯s energy congealment was measured at about the size of a thumb, Qin Feng¡¯s energy congealment would be measured at the size of a wrist.

    Also, it was not channelled vertically, but circled around Qin Feng and entered directly into his dantian.

    Such a massive momentum would definitely draw attention from the others. Everyone then looked toward Qin Feng.

    ¡°Is this Qin Feng the one ranked at the fifth ce? That S-tier earlier.¡±

    ¡°Phew, his internal energy is surprisingly stronger than Ming Tianhao¡¯s.¡±

    ¡°What type of neigong is this, is this SS-tier? This little kid is so lucky, so jealous of him.¡±

    The crowd reacted differently, but all of them were being cautious as they sensed the surroundings. Energy from the surrounding had not been reduced by Qin Feng¡¯s great energy demand. Meaning to say, the energy source from the surroundings was limitless.

    Hence, the others¡¯ progress in practicing were not dyed by Qin Feng¡¯s powerful presence. Some of them even forgot about being jealous and were thinking of maintaining a close rtionship with Qin Feng.

    It was unwise to offend Qin Feng at that moment. Despite having the lowest capability, Qin Feng¡¯sbat energy was still a threat to them. Even if he were to output half of hisbat energy during the peace contest, it would still be a great help to them.

    With that in mind, they closed their eyes and resumed with energy absorption.

    Except for Shao Dongfeng that seemed bothered as he looked at Qin Feng, like he was nning something else. Only after two hours, he had no choice but to close his eyes.

    He wanted to talk to Qin Feng. But Qin Feng kept his eyes closed throughout his practice. Therefore, he had to wait until Qin Feng was done with it.

    Nobody knew that when those people were amused, Qin Feng was also struck by a frightening moment.

    ¡°Previously when I was practicing, Asteroid Assimtion did not absorb energy from heaven and earth as fast as it is doing now. How could it be so powerful?¡±

    It was the first time where Qin Feng felt he did not know Asteroid Assimtion well enough.

    Also, it was an inappropriate circumstance for him to reflect on that. Energy that had entered into his dantian had to be quickly absorbed.

    From the external view, Qin Feng¡¯s dantian was being fuelled by the liquid flow of energy that was about the size of a wrist. It was like a giant rift had formed in the sky and horizontally mmed down energy that could even drown the frozen star.

    The energy shrouded around the spinning frozen star and fuelled its rapid expansion.

    It was not in its purest form, but mixed with impurities that were in milk white color.

    If the energy were to transform into internal energy, it would lower the quality of Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy. For the others, it might be the purest form that they could ask for, but not for Qin Feng.

    Hence, the dark starglobe in Qin Feng¡¯s conscious realm began to spin as well.

    Qin Feng used to absorb internal energy into his conscious realm during his previous practices. It would circte around his body structure and strengthen his veins and physical body. Only then, it would roam into his conscious realm and leave the essence part of it in his dantian.

    But now, the dark starglobe had directly descended into his dantian realm. The dark Absorption Ability circted and instantly evaporated one third of the milk white colored liquid, leaving a limpid river behind.

    Aptitude users could never pull off this move before they achieve S-tier. Of course, nobody was as special as Qin Feng to be able to achieve two S-tier advancements for both of his dantian abilities, and summon his ability core to his dantian.

    Meanwhile, the horrifying starglobe with ten meters in diameter was way too massive whenpared to the nine other frozen stars.

    Although one third of the energy had evaporated, it could still cover the entire frozen star. In less than three hours, the frozen star had doubled in size and reached two centimeters in diameter.

    Qin Feng pondered for a while. He stopped the spinning of the frozen star and continued his practice with the next frozen star.

    Then, the frozen star began its wild spinning. Three hourster, its diameter doubled.

    Qin Feng used the same method again.

    Within just one day, Qin Feng upscaled his entire internal energy structure to another level!

    As the frozen stars grewrger in size, the growth became less significant. Most importantly, Qin Feng was afraid to go all in with his absorption.

    It was definitely an unpleasantly suppressing feeling!

    ¡°Wait until the peace contest is over and the realms have been distributed. I will open up my Asteroid Assimtion entirely and feel this horrifying neigong myself!¡± Qin Feng could onlyfort himself and continue with the absorption.

    However, despite slowing down his pace of absorption, it was still a horrifying scene for the others to look at.

 Chapter 1016 - Only the Powerful Win

    <h4>Chapter 1016: Only the Powerful Win</h4>

    Ten days had passed. Every ancient warrior kept on training non-stop, wanting to make themselves stronger than others.

    On the surface, they looked the same as they were before. However, in reality, their strength had already improved by a lot.

    Qin Feng was able to make all nine starglobes to be as thick as four centimeters by now. After all, the Runic Gxy Realm was the kind of ce that could give birth to an Immortal at any given time. It was a realm unlike the other lower tiered realms.

    ¡°Time¡¯s up. Let¡¯s go back!¡±

    Shao Dongfeng¡¯s voice woke all the participants up. res of brilliant light beamed up in their eyes before shying away into the depths of their irises.

    Shao Dongfeng, on the other hand, began sailing the jade ship back to where they came from.

    Three hourster, all thirteen of them were finally back.

    ¡°There¡¯s still one day¡¯s time. Rest well, everyone. Tomorrow will be your tournament. As for whether you are able to live to tell the tale, it¡¯s all up to you.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Sir.¡± Everyone thanked him graciously.

    Shao Dongfeng¡¯s eyes were fixed on Qin Feng before opening his mouth, ¡°Qin Feng,e. Let me have a word with you.¡±

    Shao Dongfeng raised his hand and opened up a spatial door for the others to leave. Seeing this, they kept quiet and left, not making any unnecessary inquiries.

    Qin Feng waited until the others had left before asking, ¡°What is it, Master Shao?¡±

    Shao Dongfeng forced up a friendly smile. ¡°Qin Feng, you have great potential. However, you¡¯re still too weak. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to survive in the tournament.¡±

    With a tick of intuition, Qin Feng could guess what Shao Dongfeng had in mind.

    Shao Dongfeng continued, ¡°I have a potion here. It can boost one¡¯s power tremendously. This should be enough to boost an S9-tier to be an SS-tier. Although you¡¯re not S9-tier yet, I suppose this potion should be able to help you to ascend to great heights. When you¡¯ve gotten enough power, you¡¯ll not have to worry about other participants¡¯ attacks anymore.¡±

    ¡°Thank you, Master Shao. But I can¡¯t ept this. It would be too unfair for the other participants if I were the only person who epts aid.¡±

    Shao Dongfeng smiled, thinking that Qin Feng was an easy-to-fool, na?ve, young man.

    ¡°Oh, no. It¡¯s totally fine. This is a norm in tournaments like this. Do you think you¡¯re the only one who¡¯d use it? Well, you¡¯re wrong. The others would use it too. In fact, it¡¯ll be unfair to you when the others have aids when you don¡¯t. Think about it. The only S-tier will be you while the others are going to be SS-tier. You¡¯ll die, you know?¡±

    Shao Dongfeng thought that Qin Feng would panic andined about how unfair the tournament was upon hearing this. This should lead to Qin Feng asking Shao Dongfeng to help him, which would then give Shao Dongfeng the chance to take advantage of him.

    Thinking of that, Shao Dongfeng smiled brightly before letting out a sigh, ¡°I don¡¯t me you for being here though. You were deceived by that advertisement. Nheless, it would not change the fact that you could die tomorrow. Fortunately, there¡¯s still time. You could still learn a few tricks to stay alive... I have a few tricks up my sleeves that I could...¡±

    Shao Dongfeng stopped as he waited for Qin Feng to beg for his help.

    However, Qin Feng beamed up a smile. ¡°Only SS-tier? Well, if they want to defeat me, it¡¯s not going to be an easy feat either. Even if it¡¯s an SSS-tier, they should also expect an excruciating struggle to take me down.¡±

    Qin Feng then looked at Shao Dongfeng intently.

    If it was three months ago, there was no way Qin Feng would say this. However, Qin Feng was a different man than who he was three months ago. With the behemoth of a dark starglobe he had in him, Qin Feng had gained the strength and guts to take on anything.

    ¡°So, Master Shao... I understand and appreciate your concern. But I still think I should handle this myself. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll be taking my leave.¡±

    After finishing his words, Qin Feng turned and walked through the spatial door.

    Shao Dongfeng did not expect this to happen. Qin Feng did not act ording to his n at all. Not only that, Qin Feng seemed to also think very lightly of his aid.

    ¡°Qin Feng, do you have a death wish? I could very well kill you here right now if you are so eager to die! And I could find some other people to participate in the tournament in your ce too!¡±

    ¡°Sure! You can try right now if you want.¡± Qin Feng smirked as he activated his dark starglobe.

    Shao Dongfeng did not expect Qin Feng to taunt him.

    A surge of anger raged in him.

    A prodigy? A participant?

    He could just rece this brat any time he wanted!

    Thus, a massive star appeared behind Shao Dongfeng as he charged up his internal energy.

    Then, suddenly, darkness clouded Shao Dongfeng.

    He could not feel anything. His sight, smell, hearing... all his senses were gone!

    ¡°What... What is this?!¡± Shao Dongfeng yelled out in shock in his mind.

    It had been so long since he felt a terror like this¡ªit was a long time ago, when he was taking on a dark ability user. Back then, he had to use all his might to be able to flee with his life.

    ¡°Is this... Dark Shroud?¡±

    Shao Dongfeng was so shocked that he was starting to doubt himself.

    Dark Shroud was just a simple dark ability. As one grew stronger, a simple dark-rune trick like that would not work on them.

    Unless their opponent was significantly stronger than them, or that this was an improved version of Dark Shroud.

    Still, this should not be something that Qin Feng, a mere ancient warrior, could do.

    As Shao Dongfeng was thinking to himself, his senses had recovered. He was only under the influence of Dark Shroud for 0.1 seconds.

    When he opened his eyes again, Qin Feng was nowhere to be found.

    Shao Dongfeng was tricked!

    ¡°Qin Feng!!¡± Shao Dongfeng yelled out furiously.

    However, Shao Dongfeng still felt a shiver crawling up his back. He felt as though his life was spared.

    If this was some other dark ability user, that person could very well assassinate him without leaving a trace of evidence.

    Just what was that ability?!

    Shao Dongfeng¡¯s face was as white as a sheet. ¡°Damn you, Qin Feng! Do you think you can escape me? Heh, so long as youe back alive, there will always be people after you!¡±

    In this world, only the powerful would win. Qin Feng was merely a participant. As such, it was rather impossible for him to safely secure all his prizes after the tournament.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng had already returned to the Central City of the Human Alliance safely. He was now safe¡ªShao Dongfeng, despite being an SSS-tier, would not dare to do anything here.

 Chapter 1017 - The Human Peace Contest has Begun!

    <h4>Chapter 1017: The Human Peace Contest has Begun!</h4>

    ¡°How many times had I done something like this back then?¡±

    Before he was reborn, Qin Feng had to resort to something like this to get away from trouble. He was too weak to put up a fight, so he had to flee.

    After he was reborn, Qin Feng was very strong¡ªwhich led to him getting a lot of treasures that others yearned to have too.

    Still, after his rebirth, Qin Feng had almost always given his opponents a huge p in the face whenever they tried to demean him and rob his treasures.

    Qin Feng was not afraid of Shao Dongfeng one bit.

    ¡°Wee. Are you Mr Qin Feng? I¡¯m assigned to escort you to your amodation in the hotel. The tournament will begin at 12 PM sharp tomorrow. So, it¡¯s best for you to get enough rest and preparation by then.¡± A woman approached Qin Feng meekly.

    Qin Feng took a look at the woman¡ªshe was an S-tier and was being quite respectful to him. She was most likely someone sent from the Human Alliance.

    Shao Dongfeng was not the authority. Things that he was trying to do were probably something others often did under the table. As such, Qin Feng would not have to pin the me on the authority.

    ¡°Sure, let¡¯s go. It¡¯s such good timing too because I¡¯m so tired.¡±

    ¡°Alright, sure. This way, Sir!¡±

    The woman led Qin Feng to the ¡°hotel¡±. Well, it looked more like a massive estate and manor. His amodation was one of the over fifty beautiful vis that were situated on thend.

    Qin Feng could feel some familiar presence in his surroundings. They were the participants that were with him earlier. Other than the ancient warriors, there were also ability users nearby too.

    Qin Feng did not care much about all these¡ªhe needed to rx and take a break.

    Suddenly, hismunicator began to beep. A vast amount of unreceived calls and messages kept flooding in.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking. But this tournament isn¡¯t like the one in our realm. It¡¯s a viciouspetition. And you went straight up without giving it much thought! Do you have a death wish?!¡± It was Hu San¡¯s message.

    ¡°Marshal! Your strength is well beyond my reach. I give you my greatest salutation.¡± This was from Tung Yang.

    ¡°If you¡¯re going to do it, then give it your best. But don¡¯t expect me to wipe your ass if you mess up.¡± This was from Long Ting.

    There were also other messages from people like Nangong Zeming.

    Qin Feng did not know that right after he entered the tournament, the SS-tiers in his homeworld had already seen his name on the result. They did not expect him to be able to dish out such power inbat.

    None of them were able to do something like that.

    They all knew just how scarce the resources on Earth were. As such, how could their realm produce a monstrosity like Qin Feng?

    Even Seinakawa, Rick and Singhnar were shocked to see hisbat prowess. They finally understood just what kind of people were worthy of visiting the Runic Gxy Realm.

    At the same time, they could not bring themselves to praise Qin Feng. They still thought that Qin Feng was an impulsive, idiotic brat who had a death wish. Nheless, they still kept their eyes on him, wondering if he could pull it off.

    There was only one day left before the contest began. As such, Qin Feng should be back by now.

    Many were curious about just what kind of man Qin Feng was; they wanted to get to know him. Some of them even wanted him to coach them a little, or perhaps teach them some of his secret techniques.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng did not care about all these. Instead of replying to the messages, Qin Feng muted hismunicator.

    What he needed now was a good night¡¯s sleep before taking on other participants and winning the realm.

    The protocol of the tournament had already been announced. After 12 PM the next day, they would need to enter an encased realm that would allow them to fight one another. They would be given seven days toplete the fight.

    Of course, anything could happen in those seven days. Not once in thest three hundred Human Peace Contests did it end peacefully.

    Due to this being a sh between prodigies, there were always cases where a whole group of people waspletely ughtered.

    As such, after ending the contest, there would always be one side that had their prodigiespletely wiped off, disgracing thempletely. This would, in turn, escte conflicts¡ªcontradicting what the Human Peace Contest was attempting to do.

    Qin Feng was also contemting whether he should kill everyone the moment he entered the ring.

    ¡°Well, I guess I¡¯ll improvise as things change.¡± Qin Feng gave it a final thought before snoring away on his bed.

    The next day, the participants gathered at 10 AM before heading to the arena in Central City.

    The arena was an enormous sight to behold. On the opposite side of the arena, there was a gigantic structure that looked like a bird nest, almost as big as a city.

    Thankfully, all the spectators who were there were S-tiers and above. As such, they could use their sharp consciousness to sense and view the fight.

    The twenty three participants had entered their own side of the arena.

    There were twenty three spatial doors located in the middle of the field. Qin Feng was assigned to the fifth door.

    Now, all they needed to do was wait for 12 PM toe.

    At a corner of the arena¡¯s spectator seats, about a hundred people were silently watching the scene. They only started talking when the participants entered the field.

    ¡°I see him. It¡¯s Qin Feng.¡±

    ¡°Huh, so it is him. I did not expect our realm to have someone this powerful.¡±

    ¡°Powerful? What use is there? Now, he¡¯s just going to be cannon fodder for these other stronger chaps.¡±

    Eight SS-tiers were sitting in the front row of these hundreds of people. One of them frowned, ¡°Ting, do you think he can make it?¡±

    ¡°Sixth Grand Uncle, I assure you. He¡¯s strong. But just how strong he is... I have not the faintest clue. Nheless, one thing is clear. He¡¯s already stronger than any of us in our realm.¡± Long Ting said respectfully.

    The man Long Ting addressed as ¡°sixth grand uncle¡± looked only about thirty five to thirty six years old. He did not look like an old man at all.

    This man was the SS-tier of the Long family¡ªLong Kong.

    At his side sat another SS-tier, Li Yuan of the Li family.

    Both of the Huaxia Alliance¡¯s SS-tiers hade out to witness this fight.

    ¡°So what? When he¡¯s there, all he¡¯s got waiting for him is being torn to pieces. Hmph. This is what hubris will bring him.¡±

    Long Ting raised her head and noticed that this consciousness voice came from Seinakawa.

    As an S-tier, Long Ting could not win this woman in a fight, so she could not say much to retaliate.

    ¡°Let¡¯s pray that he¡¯s going to be lucky.¡± One of them began to say prayers for Qin Feng.

    It was then, the spatial doors in front of the participants were lit up!

    It was time!

    Qin Feng charged up his internal energy to form ayer of barrier around him before walking through his spatial door.

    The Human Peace Contest had begun!

 Chapter 1018 - Stygian Abyss

    <h4>Chapter 1018: Stygian Abyss</h4>

    In a blink of an eye, Qin Feng found himself teleported to the middle of a jungle. There was a stutter of unique energy around him, shrinking Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness and scanning abilities.

    ¡°Hmm, I only have about ten thousand meters of scanning range. That means the others are probably going to have about a few thousand meters of scanning range then.¡±

    Qin Feng knew that this was a ¡°Secret Territory¡± or a ¡°Sanctuary¡± type realm. It was not aplete one¡ªmaking it only about a thousand kilometers wide.

    Still, the geography in the area seemed quite abundant in features. As such, even though it would not be difficult for one to detect an opponent here, it was also equally easy for one to keep themselves hidden.

    Right now, it all depended on who was stronger when facing an opponent.

    Usually, in this seven-day period, when a participant saw someone strongering for them, they would do their best to hide. All they needed to do was to protect their badge given to them and make their alliance reach top 100 in the ranking. This would win realm-wide resources for their world.

    And the best way to stay alive was to team up and work together.

    Meanwhile, a gigantic eye emerged in the sky to monitor the fight between the two sides behind the clouds and ry back what it was seeing to the Human Alliance.

    It was then, a cry of surprise could be heard from the Human Alliance.

    This Human Peace Contest was like the Prodigy Tournament. There were hosts that would narrate what was happening on the field.

    The eye had locked onto two persons. One of which was Qin Feng.

    The S-tiers from Earth began to tense up as they paid attention to the scene. Even Seinakawa anxiously rubbed her own fingers as she watched.

    About a thousand meters away from Qin Feng, an ability user had emerged¡ªan ability user from the Dark Coalition!

    A thousand meters. Even though it seemed rather far away, it was already too close a gap for one to escape from an ability user.

    ¡°Oh, participant number 5¡ªQin Feng has now gotten him in a pinch. He¡¯s just an S-tier ability user. So, if the field has suppressed his consciousness, he only has about hundreds of meters of scanning range. In this situation, there¡¯s a high likelihood that he would get caught by his opponent. Now, let¡¯s take a look at just who he is up against.¡±

    The host quickly swiped through the data before sending it up to the holographic screen in the sky.

    Everyone was sitting on the edge in their seats.

    Shao Dongfeng, who was sitting amongst the crowd, smirked as he looked at the scene with a fling of joy.

    ¡°Oh, no. That¡¯s Sakyaey. He¡¯s number one in the Dark Coalition, with abat power of 124,125!¡±

    Everyone widened their eyes as they heard this, feeling dread for Qin Feng.

    Shao Dongfeng beamed up a smile.

    ¡®I wonder if this kiddo likes this little present I prepared for him.¡¯

    Yes. This was Shao Dongfeng¡¯s doing. That spatial door was what he left for Qin Feng.

    Usually, the coordinates of where one appeared in the Secret Territory was chosen randomly by the participants via drawing lots. This was to avoid participants from teaming up too early.

    Still, it was rather easy for organizers to put someone they wanted on certain spots. Qin Feng had no one powerful enough to back him up; so he had to endure the same fate as the people who had refused to work with Shao Dongfeng¡ªbeing put on the most dangerous spot in the field.

    Sakyaey was powerful. He was, in fact, much more powerful than Ming Tianhao. In fact, Ming Tianhao could very well die if he were the one standing where Qin Feng was right now.

    Compared to Ming Tianhao, Qin Feng was a nobody. And nobody would care if he died in the first round.

    This was why Qin Feng had to face such injustice.

    From the holographic screen, everyone could see that the wood and soil were beginning to change and morph. Sakyaey was pulling something and it was not good for Qin Feng.

    He opened his mouth and swallowed a massive, ck worm. Then, energy swelled up in his body, giving him tremendous strength.

    Seeing this, the host reported loudly, ¡°Look! This is the fabled Giganum Marrow Devourer! Oh, how terrifying! After consuming this bug, Sakyaey¡¯s strength would be boosted all the way to SS-tier! This would mean...¡±

    Everyone knew what this meant¡ªit meant that there was no escape for Qin Feng.

    ¡°Let us see how Qin Feng would deal with his peril. Right now, he still has a chance to flee!¡±

    Unfortunately, Qin Feng did not run away. Instead, he walked straight toward Sakyaey¡¯s direction.

    ¡°Oh no! Qin Feng¡¯s scanning range is too weak. He can¡¯t detect Sakyaey¡¯s presence! If he keeps on going forward, he will be dead!¡±

    In everyone¡¯s eyes, Qin Feng was as good as dead.

    Not one person thought highly of Qin Feng. This was not unexpected¡ªQin Feng was the only one who had not ascended past S9-tier. And as of the moment, Qin Feng had no means of ascending himself in a short time.

    However, they got itpletely wrong.

    It was not that Qin Feng did not detect Sakyaey¡ªin fact, it was Sakyaey who could not detect Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s dark abilities hadpletely hidden him. As such, seeing that there was no one around him, Sakyaey took out the Giganum Marrow Devourer and ate it. So long as he had ascended to SS-tier, he could kill everyone¡ªincluding the ones from the Dark Coalition, and grab the prizes for himself.

    Qin Feng had already reached about hundreds of meters away from Sakyaey while he was trying to swallow the worm¡¯s tail.

    Qin Feng was so close to him.

    This close of a distance was fatal.

    Murderous intent red up in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes as dark runes swarmed around the area, masking him into the shadows¡ªspecifically, Sakyaey¡¯s shadows.

    Then, Sakyaey¡¯s shadow began to distort into a ck whirlpool, one that extended to hundreds of meters wide.

    Sakyaey did not seem to notice any of this yet.

    And just like that, he lost all his senses as he stood in the middle of the dark whirlpool.

    He could not see.

    He could not hear.

    He could not smell.

    He could not feel anything at all!

    ¡°Stygian Abyss!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s dark starglobe had already evolved so much. As such, there was no way he would not have mastered a new ability. And this was something he mastered in the Runic Gxy Realm.

    Stygian Abyss¡ªan SS-tier ability!

    Qin Feng had actually used this once¡ªto block Shao Dongfeng from striking at him.

    Now, he had unleashed itpletely on Sakyaey.

    Sakyaey had not even ascendedpletely to SS-tier yet, seeing that he was in the middle of eating the worm.

    Shao Dongfeng, an SSS-tier, had lost all his senses for 0.1 second. This meant that this ability would work even more effectively on Sakyaey.

    Qin Feng pulled out a saber and...

    Whoosh!

    A ring rainbow curved out of the saber¡¯s de as he shed forward, crushing everything hundreds of meters in front of him.

    What a devastating sh!

    Sakyaey just stood there without any reaction as the Giganum Marrow Devourer¡¯s tail was still dangling from his lips.

    Then, a whiff of wind blew his way.

    Sakyaey¡¯s head and the worm in his mouth both dropped off from his neck and to the ground.

    There wasplete silence in the jungle.

    No one made a sound in the Central City¡¯s streaming center and arena.

 Chapter 1019 - Precious Stimulant

    <h4>Chapter 1019: Precious Stimnt</h4>

    Time seemed to have been frozen at that moment. Everything went silent.

    Qin Feng was the only one not constrained by the stagnated time. He walked over to Sakyaey¡¯s lifeless body, not too rushed, not too leisurely either.

    Someone in the audience finally snapped out of the silence, and an uproar ensued.

    Shao Dongfeng¡¯s face stiffened.

    The lips of Seinakawa and Rick curled unpleasantly.

    Long Ting, in stark contrast, cheered with her fist high up in the air. She could not believe that Qin Feng, a teenager, was the one who qualified from their realm.

    Thementator finally found his voice too. ¡°Unbelievable! He really made it. Qin Feng, who is ranked number 5 in this tournament, has defeated Sakyaey, the highest-ranked user in the Dark Coalition! Not only that but Sakyaey was killed in a split second before he could react. What¡¯s that dark vortex? I have never seen anything like that in my life. Indisputably, there¡¯s onemanding winner in this battle¡ªQin Feng!¡±

    The battle onlysted for a few seconds, but the audience was captivated. None wasining that it had ended too abruptly. This was because almost everyone on the spectator seats was highly skilled. They understood just how amazing Qin Feng¡¯s prowess was.

    ¡°Is this Qin Feng a dark-type ability user? Wait, he was introduced as an ancient warrior earlier. He was using ancient art as well.¡±

    ¡°A dual-aptitude user. He must have mastered both. He is far superior to Sakyaey in terms of perception and conscious power. Thed must have covered himself in runes that could mask his presence. That exins why Sakyaey failed to detect his movement.¡±

    ¡°The young man activated a dark-type ability which probably blocked his opponent¡¯s perception ability from the beginning. When he was close enough, he caught the opponent off guard and killed him decisively.¡±

    ¡°Amazing! Absolutely brilliant! He is no doubt a generational prodigy!¡±

    Most audiences apuded Qin Feng¡¯s exceptional skills. Those with better eyes could roughly retrace what happened in that short period. As for the S-tiers that could not immediately grasp the quick action, they also understood how terrifying Qin Feng was based on the emcee¡¯sment.

    In the arena, Qin Feng had sheathed his Verdant Emperor Saber. After it was fused with the spatial beast¡¯s crystal core, theceration created by the saber became very powerful. Whenever he brandished the saber, it would inadvertently create a spatial rift. Despite being very useful in a battle, unsheathing it out of battle was a burden.

    Then, Qin Feng pulled in the internal force.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Sakyaey was an S9-tier ancient warrior. His internal force neb was at least nine centimeters wide. Being able to bypass Ming Tianhao was a testament to his power.

    Indeed, six orbsnded on Qin Feng¡¯s hand when he ced his pulling palm near Sakyaey¡¯s dantian.

    Crack! Crack!

    The orbs shattered and fused into his palm, entering Qin Feng¡¯s meridian. His meridian was unusually wide. The pieces immediately turned into an immense internal force that went straight into his dantian.

    ¡°Absorption!¡±

    The ability went to work and assimted the internal force. In the end, one-third of the force was expelled and the remaining was integrated into Qin Feng¡¯s nine frozen stars. As a result, the nine stars had expanded by a total of half a centimeter.

    ¡®Killing another aptitude user is still the fastest way.¡¯ Qin Feng murmured. He did not stop there. Watching through the huge eye on top of the arena, he seemed to be looking for something.

    It did not take him long. Qin Feng found the badge and imed it. He also took Sakyaey¡¯s spatial equipment.

    When he was prepared to leave, he remembered something and raised his hand. Instantly, a dark light shrouded the ck worm on the body¡¯s head.

    Qin Feng had neither seen nor heard about it before. However, after observing what Sakyaey had done with it, he knew that it must be very beneficial.

    If it was beneficial, then Qin Feng would absorb it.

    The worm was called the Giganum Marrow Devourer. This creature lived through multiple universes and realms. It fed on marrow but not human bone marrow. Instead, the worm consumed the ¡°marrow¡± of a, which could be usually found in the primary energy stratum.

    After hundreds of millions of years, the energy retained by the worm was gargantuan.

    A precious stimnt.

    Qin Feng absorbed the creature with his ability. Instantaneously, his physique¡¯s strength skyrocketed.

    Without any warning, Qin Feng¡¯s physique had broken through S1-tier.

    Based on his current strength, he would have to kill numerous powerful creatures to advance his physical level. Surprisingly, he had done so by absorbing the Giganum Marrow Devourer.

    ¡®Great stuff!¡¯ Qin Feng rejoiced.

    After absorbing the worm, Qin Feng picked a direction and moved on.

    Qin Feng probably would note across anyone soon on his current path. As such, the giant eye turned in another direction. He could still be seen on one of the screens, but the center stage had to be reserved for the fiercest battle at the moment.

    The ability users who had witnessed Qin Feng¡¯s battle envied his gain, especially those from the Blue Star. They began toment.

    ¡°What a waste! He absorbed the Giganum Marrow Devourer just like that,¡± Seinakawamented with strong jealousy. The worm was not something they could get in hand easily in their realm.

    ¡°The stronger he gets, the better his chance of survival in this match. I acknowledge his decision to upgrade quickly. The problem is whether he could get out alive seven dayster. Once he captures an unexplored realm, I wonder what kind of gems we could find in there,¡± the newly joined SS-tier earth ability user, Arus, chimed in.

    This man was the new SS-tier promoted in the Runic Gxy Realm. He was the twentieth SS-tier on Earth. That was what was generally believed. None of the SS-tiers knew that Endo had already been killed.

    ¡°Hehe. Even if he does capture a realm, it belongs to Qin Feng alone.¡± Long Kong knew what these people were plotting. Thus, he sneered and warned them to erase that idea.

    Should they not be clear of Qin Feng¡¯s strength now? They should hold back on their little plot. Snatching meat from a tiger¡¯s mouth was simply suicidal.

    Seinakawa and Rick had noments. They had witnessed first-hand how powerful Qin Feng was. Theymented because they disliked Qin Feng¡¯s dominating presence as a newbie.

    Arus had zero ideas. He had just upgraded and this was the first time sitting in the top echelon. As such, he was a little too full of himself.

    ¡°If he is willing to contribute the resources, we can push through SSS-tier faster. Wouldn¡¯t it be better for our realm?¡±

    Long Kong smirked. ¡°Why do you think he has to give up the resources to others? Can¡¯t he work toward SSS by himself? Don¡¯t tell me you actually believe he is weaker than any one of us here?¡±

    Arus did not dare to talk back this time. He silently cursed Long Kong and others for being cowards. He believed that the rest of them should be ashamed of themselves for not daring to im some resources from Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    Qin Feng was unaware of the conversation centered on him. Even before he had gotten anything, someone was already targeting his pocket.

    He marched on determinedly. Qin Feng was currently not on the path to rendezvous with his ally, but get closer and closer to the enemy¡¯s base

    Although Qin Feng had broken the deadlock, other users from the Human Alliance were not as lucky. In the three battles after Qin Feng¡¯s victory, two Human Alliance participants were forced to flee, while another one suffered grave injuries and died not long after.

    Consequently, the atmosphere in Central City subsided rapidly from the euphoria after Qin Feng¡¯s battle. The audience watched on nervously.

    ¡°This is bad. Qin Feng would soone across the Dark Coalition. This time, there are three of them!¡± Thementator announced suddenly. The already tensed crowd was strained as they stared at the scene that was now switched to thergest screen.

    They were already within ten kilometers of each other. The audience held their breaths as the two would sh soon.

 Chapter 1020 - The Savior

    <h4>Chapter 1020: The Savior</h4>

    Inside the arena, Qin Feng had actually detected the movement from afar.

    The location Shao Dongfeng had dropped Qin Feng was near the central region of the battle arena. If Qin Feng had picked a different direction, he would have a higher chance to meet contestants from the Human Alliance. However, his current direction led him straight into the enemy¡¯s base.

    At this stage, the opponents had already gathered in small groups while Qin Feng was still venturing solo.

    However, being outnumbered meant little to Qin Feng.

    The three approaching opponents appeared to have upgraded too. Qin Feng could sense that two of them were now SS-tier. His opponents would not forever remain in S9-tier as thepetition progressed.

    The same could be said about Qin Feng. His power might not have enhanced significantly, but Qin Feng was no longer the same person when he first met an SS-tier at Bahamut.

    Qin Feng could sense the opponents ten thousand meters away, but the three enemies could not feel his presence at all.

    Qin Feng strolled on confidently. He stopped when they were only about a thousand meters away from him.

    The three Dark Coalition members were moving too. They still did not seem to notice Qin Feng.

    This distance was close enough for Qin Feng.

    ¡°Sovereign Roar!¡±

    Qin Feng summoned a formidable amount of runes. Above his head, a giant ck star rose, which was followed by the emergence of a giant dragon.

    The ck dragon opened its maw. In the next moment, a dark flood sshed out from the dragon¡¯s giant mouth.

    A loud, deafening roar sounded.

    The flood submerged the forest and mmed on the three approaching aptitude users. It happened too suddenly for the three users to react in time.

    As such, they summoned their internal force shield and executed defensive charms to resist the flood.

    However, that was worse than fleeing.

    The dark runes squashed them. Charms were dispelled immediately and internal force shields on them were eroded rapidly. They did not even have the time to gasp or scream.

    The waves swallowed them alive.

    Even though they had the physique of an SS-tier, the turbulent dark runes destroyed them thoroughly. Not long after, three bodies swayed lifelessly among the waves.

    ¡°Retract!¡±

    The runes subsided back through the vortex between Qin Feng¡¯s brows. Three new badges appeared in his hands. The number of the corresponding realm was engraved on the badge.

    Each badge had its own unique mark, which symbolized a specific realm. At the end of thepetition, the owner of the badge would be gifted the realm as carved. This was nned ahead upon the agreement of the alliances.

    These badges could not be stored in spatial equipment. Qin Feng ced them in his backpack and continued to look for other contestants.

    Since he was now on the arena side belonging to the Dark Coalition, he came across another three-man party not long after. Without a doubt, he annihted them too.

    On the first day alone, Qin Feng had taken care of seven opponents. If he could stay alive until the end, he would be awarded seven realms.

    Qin Feng was not particrly thrilled. Rather, the audience in Central City was more excited than him.

    Many doubted him when he killed Sakyaey. Some believed Sakyaey was too consumed in absorbing the energy from the worm. That was why Qin Feng managed to assault him with ease.

    Those doubts hadpletely vanished now.

    Everyone watching recognized that Qin Feng¡¯s supremacy was real.

    His prowess was out of this world.

    Aptitude users from the Blue Star Realm hadrgely turned from being anxious and excited into silent and thoughtful.

    ¡°After this, maybe we should consider inviting Qin Feng into the meeting,¡± Long Kong said. He was obviously referring to the one meeting that involved only the highest-ranked users of Blue Star.

    The eleven SS-tiers at present were the usual attendees. Qin Feng would be the twelfth if he joined.

    With his strength, perhaps a lot of unsolvable problems in the past could be solved now.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t we wait until he reaches SS-tier?¡± Seinakawa was the first to raise an objection.

    The others remained silent as well. They were hesitant too. The resources on Blue Star were fairly limited. They would receive a smaller part of the cake if another user joined them.

    ¡°Besides, no matter how great he is now, he is still only an S-tier. If you have anything that needs his help, just give him an order! There¡¯s no need to pamper him like a king!¡± Seinakawa wanted to make her stance clear.

    Li Yuan sneered mockingly. ¡°Judging by his power, I would be embarrassed to ask for his favor usingme motives like ¡®for the greater good¡¯. Don¡¯t ask for help if you can¡¯t even provide the most basic remuneration. If one day he bes an SS-tier or someone even greater, you will face two times the humiliation.¡±

    Li Yuan¡¯s words pped those who silently agreed with Seinakawa.

    The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

    The contest kept moving forward. At this tier, it was entirely normal for them to not sleep for a few months. Seven days were not considered long. The contestants inside the arena hardly rested too. They were engaged in battle after battle.

    Later, Qin Feng met and exterminated another member of the Dark Coalition. He had umted eight kills on the first day.

    Besides that, three other aptitude users of the Dark Coalition had also fallen to the Human Alliance. But none was being killed as fast as those terminated by Qin Feng.

    The other contestants of Dark Coalition had no idea that such brutal fights had taken ce. They were also unaware that they had lost so manyrades in a single day.

    The remaining twelve Dark Coalition members were scattered around the arena; some had grouped up while others continued to move alone.

    On the Human Alliance¡¯s side, the casualties were less severe. Only five prodigies were killed on the first day.

    Ming Tianhao was unscathed. Not only that but he was joined by two other Human Alliance members. Their survival chance was boosted greatly as a three-man party.

    But the sense of security was immediately challenged the next day.

    They bumped into a group of five Dark Coalition members.

    A tough battle was inevitable.

    ¡°Run. We can¡¯t fight them now.¡±

    Even though Ming Tianhao was pretty strong, the Dark Coalition also had a few tough nuts in this year¡¯s contest. As far as he knew, at least three possessed battle powers greater than 100,000. If Sakyaey were in the group, Ming Tianhao did not have the confidence to defeat him.

    Hence, he decided to run instead of fight.

    Ming Tianhao might be overmatched, but nobody could stop him if he put all his mind on fleeing.

    As a result, the three Human Alliance users were being chased breathlessly by five enemies inside the battle arena. None of them tried to conceal their aura as they were dashing at full speed. One did not need great perception to sense the fluctuation of energy resulting from the pursuit.

    ¡®Oh!? Someone¡¯s there!¡¯

    Qin Feng stood on top of a hill. He powered his eyes with internal strength and saw several human figures shing past rapidly.

    ¡®Finally found someone so lively.¡¯

    Qin Feng grinned and chased after them.

    The aptitude users in Central City gazed at the screen closely.

    Thementator was especially animated.

    ¡°Ming Tianhao and co. are going to be saved now. Qin Feng is on the way! He is moving unbelievably fast!¡±

    At this moment, everyone ced their hopes on Qin Feng. He was the hero, the savior!

 Chapter 1021 - The Decision of Those Being Saved

    <h4>Chapter 1021: The Decision of Those Being Saved</h4>

    In such a contest, each death equaled a huge loss of advantage. As such, contestants from the same side were tightly knitted.

    The audience would grimace if a member of the Human Alliance was killed, while cheering jubntly when someone from the Dark Coalition was exterminated.

    Among the Human Alliance¡¯s participants, Ming Tianhao was ranked first in this year¡¯s match. He carried the greatest expectation at the beginning of thispetition. But right now, his limelight had beenpletely taken away by Qin Feng.

    After all, Ming Tianhao had not exhibited any meaningful battles on the first day. He had only met one enemy and did not manage to finish off his opponent after a prolonged battle.

    On the second day, though having gained two allies, he was faced with even greater opponents. Thedy of luck seemed to have abandoned him in this realm.

    Even though the Human Alliance had a better chance of winning thanks to Qin Feng, the audience did not wish to see more deaths of their future prospects. Everyone prayed that Ming Tianhao could get out of this pursuit alive.

    They turned to prayer because the pursuers were not easy opponents. The strongest among the five was called Arsha.

    An aptitude user with a battle power of more than 100,000, Arsha was more infamous than Sakyaey.

    Ming Tianhao could not shake him off.

    Luckily, Qin Feng was nearby and spotted them.

    That was enough to me up the audiences¡¯ suspense.

    Thementator said hurriedly, ¡°I was thinking whether Qin Feng would spot them. Then, would he help if he sees them? After all, there are too many of them. But my concerns were proven pointless. Maybe to Qin Feng, the more the merrier!¡±

    No doubt, the more enemies there were, the better his loot would be.

    ¡°Rampage Influx!¡±

    Qin Feng was too quick. Extreme speed required a strong body to sustain inertia and momentum. He was probably the only one that had his physique honed into S-tier deity level.

    That was why he was much faster than Ming Tianhao and Arsha. Qin Feng caught up to them about seven minutester.

    No matter how powerful the masking effect of his dark ability was, Qin Feng was exposed when he was within a hundred meters of them.

    The two groups were equally stunned by his sudden entry.

    Qin Feng had perfectly concealed his aura before that.

    ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡±

    ¡°Which team does he or she belong to?¡±

    Both groups had the same question.

    Inparison, the pursuers were calmer in face of the uncertainty. Even if the interrupter was from the Human Alliance, they still had the number advantage.

    In contrast, those from the Human Alliance had already been pushed to the limit. Adding another pursuer would spell their doom.

    Ming Tianhao searched frantically for a survival possibility. He did not manage to recognize Qin Feng¡¯s aura immediately because thetter¡¯s dark ability was too powerful.

    ¡°Stygian Abyss!¡±

    Without anyone noticing, thest man in the pursuer group was caught by Qin Feng¡¯s ability.

    In an instant, the ability user was put to a sudden halt. Darkness spread under his feet, while his eyes were shrouded by confusion. He had clearly lost his sight.

    Sensing the anomaly, Arsha turned his head back and saw hisrade being swallowed by darkness.

    ¡°Be careful, it¡¯s a foe!¡± Arsha shouted and vented his fire ability. The me ignited the Stygian Abyss.

    Rune collision could indeed be used to dispel an ability.

    Arsha believed that his ability was sufficient to oust the opponent¡¯s ability. He soon found out that his me was too timid to diminish the darkness.

    It was simple math. His fire runes were outmatched by the dark runes after the collision.

    Stygian Abyss was neither morous nor dazzling. It befell silently, and that was the scary part.

    From within the darkness, a figure emerged behind the trapped Dark Coalition member.

    It was none other than Qin Feng.

    He shook off the dark runes and unsheathed the Verdant Emperor Saber. He brandished the saber toward the pursuers without hesitation.

    Two other men of the Dark Coalition group had turned around and lunged at Qin Feng. The powerful force finally broke through Qin Feng¡¯s abyss and woke the trapped member.

    Even though the Stygian Abyss was pretty influential, the victim could easily be woken up if the disturbance was strong enough.

    The man immediately sensed the enormous power behind him. Without a second thought, he retaliated.

    First was his internal force shield. Then, he turned around as his fist burst into punches.

    Qin Feng disyed great resilience and sustained their attacks calmly.

    One against five.

    Ming Tianhao and co. who were busy escaping finally realized that the disruptor belonged to the Human Alliance.

    Hope rose in their eyes but their minds were wavering.

    ¡®Should we turn back and help?¡¯

    Even if they joined the battle, they would still be at a disadvantage. They did not have absolute confidence to defeat the Dark Coalition group.

    The three of them focused their conscious energy on the new guy. They immediately identified him.

    ¡°It¡¯s him!¡±

    Knowing that the user was Qin Feng, Ming Tianhao and his allies hesitated.

    If it were other aptitude users, they might consider throwing themselves back into the battle. But what could the weakest Qin Feng do? To the three of them, this was an unwinnable battle.

    ¡®What should we do?¡¯

    ¡°If we turn back now, we would have no chance of shaking them off. The oue would be dire. I suggest we flee now. In that case, we could at least protect three hundred realms for the Human Alliance. The others would not me us for making the wiser decision.¡±

    ¡°He is right. Qin Feng is too hot-headed. His actions are no different from suicide. Maybe he knows he has little to contribute, so he decided to sacrifice himself and buy time for us.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s toote to save him now. Let¡¯s go!¡±

    They consoled each other and sugar-coated their cowardice. None of them wanted to turn back now. Not long after, they disappeared rapidly from Qin Feng¡¯s perception range.

    Of course, they were aware that their action was caught through the huge eye above them. But such was the cruelty of this peace contest. Every contestant¡¯s ultimate goal was to protect the badge in their hand at all costs. Retaining the benefit of the Human Alliance was the topmost priority.

    Hence, Qin Feng was left behind to face the five enemies alone.

    ¡®No one can escape my abyss.¡¯ Qin Feng murmured coldly and raised his finger.

    ¡°Finger of Death!¡±

    A dark shadow appeared above Qin Feng. Following that, a destructive beam shot out andnded on the aptitude user just freed from the abyss.

    After being locked on by the Finger of Death, the aptitude user could not think of anything else other than the end of his life. His mind and body were incepted with the idea of death, which made him unable to evade the beam.

    Death arrived as he anticipated when the ability hit him.

    Instantaneously, the once-powerful S-tier stiffened on the spot. His body aged insanely and turned into withered bones rapidly.

    ¡°Die!¡±

 Chapter 1022 - You Survived?

    <h4>Chapter 1022: You Survived?</h4>

    The Dark Coalition contestants that besieged Qin Feng were dazed by Qin Feng¡¯s ability.

    Qin Feng¡¯s concealed aura would be exposed during the battle, no matter how well he had kept it hidden. To their surprise, he was truly just an S1-tier ability user.

    That matched with the intel they had collected on Qin Feng. The Dark Coalition had long noticed someone as special as Qin Feng.

    When he first showed himself, the five of them thought that Qin Feng was seeking suicide.

    What happened next greatly traumatized them.

    The ability released by the S1-tier was like a death sentence. Even witnessing it sapped the living desire out of them.

    If even their fighting spirit was stripped, then theypletely understood why the one being targeted did not move an inch when facing the death beam.

    Still, they were bewildered by the fact that such a dreadful skill wasing out from the hand of an S1-tier user. He should not be this powerful.

    They had no idea about the true terror of Qin Feng¡¯s dark starglobe.

    Qin Feng did not conserve his strength. He finished off the rest of the group quickly. Those that remained rooted were killed instantly by his ability, while those that charged at him fearlessly were killed as soon as Qin Feng brandished his formidable saber. The entire battle did notst for more than half an hour.

    The fleeing Ming Tianhao would never have guessed the oue. Neither did he know that the audience in Central City had begun to chastise his conduct.

    If Qin Feng were killed in the battle, the audience might not hold too much of an opinion against Ming Tianhao. Such a scene wasmon in this arena. The fallenrade would be regarded as an honorable warrior willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the Human Alliance¡¯s future. The audience would then move on quickly and continue cheering for the remaining contestants.

    However, Qin Feng had unexpectedly triumphed with his otherworldly strength. Thatpletely changed the tone of the story.

    If Ming Tianhao turned back and helped Qin Feng earlier, it would turn into a perfect counter move. The audience would sing praises for his bravery, while he could share the loot with Qin Feng.

    Nevertheless, there were no ¡°ifs¡± in the real world. Ming Tianhao had indeed run away and left Qin Feng behind. Theatrically, the man they thought unsalvageable had single-handedly defeated five Dark Coalition participants.

    Ming Tianhao¡¯s reputation in the Human Alliance would certainly depreciate after this incident.

    Qin Feng could not understand why the three Human Alliance users had run away after he showed himself. But he did not really care. He could keep all the badges to himself now.

    In the end, he found eight instead of five badges on the enemies. Apparently, they had killed three contestants of the Human Alliance before Qin Feng found them.

    Right now, Qin Feng probably owned the most badges among all contestants.

    With the most recent deaths, only seven contestants from the Dark Coalition were left. The seven survivors also began to grasp the dire situation they were in.

    Despite moving constantly, they always came across the Human Alliance contestants wherever they went. The Human Alliance group had grownrger by time, too.

    In contrast, the seven Dark Coalition members had failed to get in contact with theirrades, no matter how hard they looked.

    There was only one possibility¡ªThe disparity in contestant number had be toorge.

    Such a situation was not rare. It had happened numerous times in the history of peace contests. The bnce had tilted heavily toward the Human Alliances. That would exin the scarcity of the Dark Coalition members in this realm.

    Hence, the remaining contestants of the Dark Coalition tacitly decided to go into hiding.

    Meanwhile, the Human Alliance members had gathered up and begun to search for them thoroughly in the realm. They wanted to wipe the rest of the enemies off and snatch the remaining badges from them.

    In the end, the nket search uncovered several more contestants from the Dark Coalition. Qin Feng only managed to kill one more too, but failed to find any target after that.

    Soon, seven days had passed and the contest was officially over.

    The Dark Coalition was utterly crushed in this peace contest. Only three members survived the cleansing. One of them was pretty good and managed to hold onto three badges until the end.

    They only obtained five hundred realms out of the pool. The remaining more than four thousand realms were distributed among the users of the Human Alliance.

    Inside the arena, the badges on Qin Feng¡¯s hand gleamed in silver light. The light then turned into a spatial tunnel.

    Qin Feng stepped into it and figured that it must be the return portal.

    As the contestants were shown leaving the arena, the audience in Central City was looking forward to their return. At the center stage of the battle arena, a light portal was expanded. One after another contestant came out from it.

    Soon, the audience spotted the participant they were eagerly waiting for.

    ¡°Qin Feng, that¡¯s him! He¡¯s back!¡±

    The first audience that spotted Qin Feng shouted exuberantly. Even though he did not amplify his voice with conscious power or internal strength, about half the stadium could hear his excited cheer.

    The cheer was infectious. It appeared to have flipped a switch as louder and louder cheers began to pour into the arena.

    ¡°Qin Feng, well done!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are a hero! You deserve the No.1 spot of the S-tiers!¡±

    Gradually, the cheering converged into a uniform, rhythmic repetition.

    ¡°Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng!¡±

    Qin Feng walked out of the tunnel and did not expect such a heroic wee.

    He remained calm and quietly enjoyed the hurrah.

    Actually, Qin Feng was not too excited about being cheered. Humans needed a hero. They also idolized them. But what a hero truly needed was not just a few words of encouragement andpliment from the crowd.

    He understood that such worship was temporary, so he was not consumed by it.

    But it dide with some benefits.

    ¡®It seems that my performance in the peace contest has won me a lot of recognition. With better influence, it would be easier for me to deal with someone like Shao Dongfeng.¡¯

    ¡®But at the same time, it¡¯s troublesome to be this famous. I don¡¯t like to be overly eye-catching.¡¯

    Another contestant was perhaps more surprised than Qin Feng when he heard the cheer.

    That person was none other than Ming Tianhao.

    ¡®Why is everyone cheering Qin Feng¡¯s name?¡¯

    The arena was too vast. After escaping the pursuit, Ming Tianhao had not met many aptitude users, let alone Qin Feng.

    He scanned around the arena and noticed the unfamiliar figure.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you are alive?¡±

    Qin Feng nced at Ming Tianhao. Thetter was clearly blurred about the predicament he was currently in.

    ¡°Yes, I am still alive. Do you want me dead?¡±

    ¡°Hey, of course not. What are you talking about? Thanks to you, we can escape without harm. How about you? How did you manage to slip away? Haha! You must have something up your sleeves. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t show up and rescue us!¡± Ming Tianhaoughed big heartedly as if what he did to Qin Feng was nothing to be ashamed of.

    Qin Feng sneered. ¡°You don¡¯t have to apologize to me. I won¡¯t me you for running away. However, you do owe the audience an exnation.¡±

 Chapter 1023 - Inferior Resources

    <h4>Chapter 1023: Inferior Resources</h4>

    If it were any other ce, Ming Tianhao would not have needed to exin anything to the audience, but here in Central City there were too many aptitude users.

    They might not have the contestants¡¯ level of strength but everyone here was not weak.

    These people might be Ming Tianhao¡¯srades or even friends in the future.

    What would they think if they had seen his actions? If he drove friends away, then there might be a possibility that he would never get a chance to find a partner to cooperate with again.

    The exnation Qin Feng gave was an exnation to those that he would meet in the future.

    Ming Tianhao¡¯splexion was grim, but how his mood was did not affect the contest¡¯s proceedings.

    When the contest ended, everyone started to add up their brands of authority before randomly drawing the stones to the explored realms.

    Qin Feng was now number one and the first one to start drawing.

    He obtained seventeen realms, thergest number, but these realms did not have specific names, only their numbers. He did not even have any information about them.

    After the drawing, the already created spatial stones were delivered to him. From that day onward, he was the only human in those realms. He could coborate with other human organizations to develop the realm, even open up the realm and charge fees and so on.

    Following that was a lively celebration banquet, it was a kind of banquet where the strong came with their olive branch offerings with their intention of coboration in the obtained realms. Qin Feng did not even think much about that before immediately leaving, not nning on cooperation.

    As such, as the celebration banquet went on Qin Feng, the Number One, was nowhere to be seen, fouling the moods of many aptitude users.

    ¡°What kind of guy is this Qin Feng? Zero manners!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s some brat from a lower realm, you expect him to know etiquette? Though, next time he¡¯s seen he can be contacted. With so many realms he has in his grasp, he¡¯s bound to look for people to help out.¡±

    ¡°Send someone to contact him, this is something you should get a hold of before others do!¡±

    The distribution of realms, the meaning behind the peace contest, was so that the Human Alliance and the Dark Coalition could prevent humanity from getting consumed by infighting.

    However, after the peace contest ended and the Dark Coalition was curbed, what could not be curbed was humanity¡¯s avarice and desire for adventure.

    As the master of the realms, Qin Feng no longer had opponents in the Dark Coalition, but there were also Human Alliance members who wanted a peep at his resources. Just like Shao Dongfeng before, there was always going to be someone who wanted toe over to take a bite out of him.

    However, something like this had never happened after his rebirth.

    Who would dare try to take a piece of him? Would that not just be throwing their life away?

    Perhaps these people had not found Qin Feng, otherwise, death would have been at an arm¡¯s length away.

    Qin Feng had already gone back to Fengli City.

    It had been more than half a month since he entered the Human Alliance and until now he still had not told Bai Li about what happened. However, due to him having joined the contest, some S-tiers who knew Qin Feng had approached her with the news.

    Bai Li was not worried about Qin Feng at all, with his strength, victory was only a matter of time.

    And now the current issue the two would be trying to figure out was what to do with the seventeen realms they had just gotten.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and have a look!¡± Bai Li said enthusiastically. Without Qin Feng even activating a stone, she just nced at it and knew where the seventeen realms were.

    ¡°I don¡¯t know the meaning of these numbers, let¡¯s go to this one first!¡± Bai Li said as she opened up a spatial doorway.

    Qin Feng followed after her.

    After the two stepped through, the first thing they felt was shock.

    The surrounding energy here was too thin.

    Not only that, they were standing on barren ground, you could directly feel the violent oppressioning down from the cosmos, and the gravity under their feet was extremely light, as if they would soar with just a step.

    Spreading out his consciousness, he immediately understood what the realm was like.

    It was an inert ne, lifeless, and the only thing of value here were minerals. However, these things could be used to produce S-tier items. Qin Feng thought that if it were not for the fact that this ce had a central core, it would not have even been considered as an S-tier realm to be worth fighting over by the Human Alliance and Dark Coalition.

    What was there to even fight for here?

    ¡°Next one!¡± Qin Feng said immediately.

    Bai Li was also not very optimistic about the realm and she would rather go to the next realm, taking Qin Feng along. However, this realm was much smaller than the previous one and there were spatial rifts everywhere. It was likely to copse soon.

    This time Bai Li did not wait for Qin Feng to say anything before taking them to the next one.

    Among the seventeen realms, twelve of them were barren and had no practical uses whatsoever, and the three realms that did have life on them did not have very powerful creatures on it. The resources there were ordinary and were not evenparable to that of the Blue Star Realm.

    Thest two realms finally surprised Qin Feng.

    One of them was very simr to the Cinderst Realm, with scorched earth all over and some ces that were very rich with fire element based resources. This was a young realm, no different from the Divine Realm.

    The next realm that Qin Feng and Bai Li had just entered, they discovered that it was surrounded by countless Insectoids. With their strength, they were able to clear it up and discover that this was a base camp for Insectoids capable of traveling through the cosmos.

    The resources in this realm were already quite abundant.

    ¡°Looks like this random realm drawing deal¡¯s got a bit of a twist in it.¡± Qin Feng did not know if it had Shao Dongfeng¡¯s involvement or not but he knew that sometimes the Human Alliance would not be so generous.

    To sum it up, there were twelve inferior realms, three low-level ones, one intermediate realm and one high-risk realm.

    ¡°ces like these would not be good for development.¡± That was the issue Bai Li found with them.

    Qin Feng did not have any manpower, so ces like these offered him too little benefit.

    His thoughts flickered for a moment and he smiled. ¡°Why would I need to develop them? I¡¯d rather just consume them all and increase my body¡¯s power. Wouldn¡¯t that be even better?¡±

    What he said was what he did. Qin Feng asked Bai Li to return to the first realm they arrived at before activating their abilities.

    ¡°Dimensional Shift!¡±

    Qin Feng and Bai Li shifted into an altered dimensional space as their surroundings became permeable, and they began to traverse through the ground.

    Within an hour of phasing through ash grey earth, Qin Feng found that his surrounding aura had changed.

    There was only a pale-greyish liquid that seemed to flow extremely slowly. The energy here was not anything significant, as if it had lost all vitality.

    Bai Li continued forward until they found the core of the.

    The core of the was only eight meters in diameter, half the size of the Blue Star Realm¡¯s and without any lifeforce, and it was grey.

    Still, it was a coreposed ofpressed energy. Using their perception, they could sense its vastly oppressive force.

    At this moment, there was a bold person that wanted to tamper with it.

    Whooom...

    Qin Feng unleashed his powerful internal force, pulling free from the Dimensional Shift.

    His internal force pushed away the surrounding liquid and then there was a pulling force that began to madly absorb the surrounding energy.

 Chapter 1024 - Consuming Realms

    <h4>Chapter 1024: Consuming Realms</h4>

    What was squeezed out was the vtile effect of this pale grey liquid, and what was absorbed would be the energy from this pale grey liquid.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force surged forth as one of his frozen stars began to turn, forming a vortex.

    The surroundings quickly became the liquid form of energy that swirled around him as it was being integrated into his dantian.

    However, that was only the shifting of one star.

    ¡°More!¡±

    The second frozen star began to turn and the absorbing force doubled.

    Then the third, the fourth, the fifth...

    One by one, the frozen stars began to rotate as the suction got increasingly stronger. This kind of power caused the world around them to stir.

    This was not an exaggeration, the pale grey liquid around Qin Feng was originally stagnant but as it gradually began to flow it began to resemble a whirlpool.

    Under such circumstances, the entire internal space began to churn.

    This situation was like a tsunami that continued to gather an ever increasing force. Qin Feng did not know this, but the world above, due to these vibrations, the ground began to quake until cracks began to appear as the entire experienced a massive earthquake.

    The crust began to shift and stones began to rise up high. In a world without gravity, a bunch of them had already broken off and flown into the cosmos.

    This realm was unable to bear it and began to copse upon itself.

    At this time, Qin Feng encountered a critical moment while he was still within the core.

    The liquid was increasing in amount and it blended into Qin Feng¡¯s nine frozen stars, irrigating them. However, these energies had too many impurities in them and it was not even as good as the one from the realm he went to during the peace contest.

    ¡°Absorption.¡±

    The dark starglobe descended as it absorbed away the liquid and removed all the impurities. What was left was only the transparent color that water had.

    As a result, the energy immediately lost four-fifth of its volume.

    Only one fifth was left.

    At this moment, the eight meter in diameter core began to move under the constantly shifting water as it was being moved by the powerful force of the Asteroid Assimtion technique.

    Crack!

    A chip of stone broke off and followed the flowing water into Qin Feng¡¯s dantian.

    This was apletely solid internal force, and once it entered the absorption force of the dark starglobe, it began to scour it until all that was left was a transparent internal force stone before it was integrated into the frozen star.

    Crack, crick-crack.

    That was the sound of the continuing to break apart.

    In such a noise, Qin Feng¡¯s internal force stars began to get stronger.

    Boom!

    The internal force star could not bear the force of the constant turbulence of the water and the strong suction of the Asteroid Assimtion technique, so it ended up exploding.

    The suction force began to frantically grab onto the spreading internal force and Qin Feng¡¯s frozen stars began to visibly expand.

    Five centimeters... six centimeters... ten centimeters...

    Twenty centimeters... thirty centimeters... one meter.

    All nine stars grew together and after all the broken internal force stones were absorbed, Qin Feng¡¯s frozen stars actually grew up to two and a half meters.

    It was not just one star that was two and a half meters, it was all of them.

    As the¡¯s core disappeared, the water also began to dissipate.

    Boom boom boom!

    Qin Feng noticed that arge chunk of rock was crashing down toward his head, and cracks burst through the surrounding earth as the whole world came crumbling down.

    This realm was about to fall apart and disappear.

    All this urred in a matter of five hours.

    Although other people did not have the capabilities that Qin Feng had, at the same time, he understood one thing. As people got stronger and stronger, then the chances of the realm they were on surviving would be more fragile.

    Spatial beasts were the greatest enemy, but there were other ultra beasts that had capabilities to ruin a realm as well.

    ¡°Bai Li, the next realm!¡±

    Since these realms did not have humans on it, for the Human Alliance it was more or less just a resource to be consumed. As a result, he was going to help himself to them!

    Among the inferior realms, thergest core among them was roughly around ten meters in diameter and the smallest ones would be around five to six meter in diameter.

    After Qin Feng had used his Absorption Ability to take it all, what was usually left would be around one fifth of the size.

    In the first realm, his frozen stars changed from being four centimeters to two and a half meters, but as they gotrger the volume required to make a significant change also increased.

    Plus, the energy spread out amongst the nine starglobes that Qin Feng had so at the end of it all he barely reached about ten meters in diameter.

    But that was enough.

    Internal force stars were different to ability starglobes and it directly affected the rank.

    The Asteroid Assimtion technique could be improved.

    Of course, those in the past that practised Asteroid Assimtion were not as insane as Qin Feng was. He had gathered nine frozen stars. The conditions needed to even reach that level were difficult enough, much less find the amount of energy needed to improve them. His strength had increased by nine times and his internal force level hadpletely reached SS-tier!

    ¡°I¡¯m not sure if my strength now would let me take on an SSS-tier or not!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s eyes glinted with a faint light.

    He thought of Shao Dongfeng, but he was still calm and did not immediately think about going back to teach Shao Dongfeng a lesson. Instead, he called out to Bai Li.

    ¡°Take us to the Insectoid realm!¡±

    Cultivation must continue. Qin Feng had a feeling that this particr realm was something that the Human Alliance would conjure up plenty of excuses just to have a look at. However, with him as the owner, they could not say anything about it.

    In truth, did he actually own the realm? No, he was just given the right by humanity to develop it. The ultra beasts surely did not care whose realm it was.

    If someone wanted to sabotage him by luring a few spatial beasts here, it would mean that Qin Feng would have to avoid getting crushed as a result.

    This time, after passing through the spatial passage, Qin Feng and Bai Li once again stepped into the realm of the Insectoids¡¯ base camp.

    This realm was veryrge, hundreds of timespared to that of the Blue Star. The pressure inside this realm was very high, as a result the liquid energy under this¡¯s crust would be very powerful.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li inspected it and unsurprisingly found that this was what a wood-type Immortal would turn into after their deaths.

    That was why the entire was covered in trees, but because it was home to multiple kinds of Insectoids it was a ce full of toxic bugs.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness swept out, covering one percent of the¡¯s surface with that incredible range.

    He did not know how many Insectoids were present and how many creatures were still gestating

    His face did not show any sympathy as his eyes burned with the regard for these as nourishment for his growth.

    He quickly unleashed his consciousness and the center of his brow opened up. A dark star had entered this dangerous realm.

    Soon after, a billowing darkness spread all over the creatures on the surface at a frenzied pace.

    Insectoids died in great numbers. After they died, their corpses dried up and their physical energy went along with the vast consciousness that covered thend as it flowed into Qin Feng¡¯s body and nourished his body.

    ughtered a world, strengthened the body!

 Chapter 1025 - SSS-tierâ€™s Threat

    <h4>Chapter 1025: SSS-tier¡¯s Threat</h4>

    A monthter, the entire was already riddled with holes and it might be able to readjust itself. However, within a year the entire would not be able to return to its original state.

    Before, if it did not feel like constant springtime here, then it would be lush with shady trees.

    Now, all that was left was the ruination left by the corrupting darkness.

    Qin Feng ughtered the creatures in the entire realm and absorbed their life energy and strengthened his own body. In the end, his physical body improved four times in a row, reaching up to S5 tier.

    As such, on the surface he was only an S5-tier aptitude user.

    Meanwhile, his internal force had reached the standard of an SS tier, so did his ability cores. The only difference was his physical strength and the strength of his consciousness.

    ¡°Looks like we still need to go to the Human Alliance and see if there are any missions to hunt down void beasts!¡±

    Void beasts did not necessarily mean all spatial beasts. All creatures that could swim around in the violent radiation of outer space were called void beasts.

    They were very powerful creatures, a great destructive threat to the of the realm as they invaded realms to consume cores. Just one S-tier void beast deity would be enough to destroy the realm.

    And so, in order to deal with creatures like them the Human Alliance continued to fight back on the realms they were aware of and even issued missions for aptitude users to step forward.

    When Qin Feng first joined the Human Alliance, Hu San warned him to not ept such tasks. They were too dangerous for him.

    Back then, he did not have the strength to participate, but things were different now.

    He returned to the Human Alliance and checked the major tasks, but as soon as he turned on hismunicator notifications came pouring in.

    Countless people have been looking for him for more than a month.

    Whether it was the Huaxia Alliance¡¯s strongest, Long Kong, or the one who he had hostile interactions with, Shao Dongfeng, they had all left him messages.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I am currently in Blue Star Town, would you like toe out and meet me? I¡¯m only giving you seven days, if you don¡¯t respond then I¡¯ll go to your realm and have a look around,¡± Shao Dongfeng¡¯sst message came into view.

    That was a tant threat.

    Qin Feng looked at his feed and saw that the message was received about nine days ago, so that meant that Shao Dongfeng was still about one day away.

    His face shifted into a cold expression.

    ¡°Heh, don¡¯t know if my current strength is enough to kill him?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability did not improve, but he could probably confuse Shao Dongfeng for a moment.

    When he first saw Shao Dongfeng, he activated his Stygian Abyss before turning away and running. He also believed that he was not strong enough to defeat Shao Dongfeng, not even the Supreme Long Xiao could do it.

    Now, his strength has improved again. With his nine frozen stars having reached ten meters, that meant hisbat potential was terrifying.

    He did not know what aces Shao Dongfeng had up his sleeve but in terms of internal force he felt that he was not necessarily worse than Shao Dongfeng.

    This time, he had his own trump card.

    With that in mind, he did not think of escaping.

    He looked for the area left behind by Shao Dongfeng and left his vi, moving onward.

    Blue Star Town was the small town they were in. There was a bar here, all the service workers were machines but if aptitude users wished to exchange information they would sit here. Overtime, it became rtively lively.

    After Qin Feng joined the Human Alliance, due to his low tier but highbat effectiveness, he had a vague idea of what this ce would be but never really came here.

    What he did not expect was his first time to be like this.

    He pushed past the door. The inside of the bar was quiet, but the moment Qin Feng stepped in, he realized that there were a number of people there.

    Not just a number, a high number.

    There were at least seventy to eighty people.

    No doubt these were people all above S-tier in strength but there were actually SS-tier aptitude users sitting at the very front.

    Long Kong, Li Yuan, Arus, Seinakawa, Rick and so on were all here

    At this time, nobody dared to move. Some closed their eyes andposed themselves, others had anxiety shing across their eyes.

    There was only one person sitting at the edge of the bar and even though their back was defenselessly facing these aptitude users, nobody dared to attack.

    This was the force of an SSS-tier aptitude user.

    As Qin Feng entered, the eyes of the others suddenly shifted. Among them were people who naturally anticipated Qin Feng¡¯s arrival, but at the same time it had been six days and they felt hopeless. Nobody knew where he went.

    Now that he was here, the moment they saw him it was just like finding a life-saving rice straw.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s finally here.¡±

    ¡°Alright, I guess I won¡¯t die.¡±

    These people felt a great sense of relief. These past days, Shao Dongfeng kept them here in order to find Qin Feng and even used these people to coerce him.

    Now, he seeded.

    ¡°Here I was thinking that you weren¡¯ting?¡± Shao Dongfeng smiled.

    Qin Feng¡¯s expression was cold, there was nothing to smile about.

    ¡°I just came back from the realms I was awarded. I¡¯m not sure why the SSS-tier Master Shao wants to see me?¡±

    Shao Dongfeng heard Qin Feng¡¯s voice that had a mocking tone, his originally smug smile faded, and his gaze became imposing and threatening.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I¡¯m not sure if you know when to shut that mouth of yours. Don¡¯t you know what I am here for?¡±

    ¡°For those realms?¡±

    ¡°Smart, it¡¯s good that you know. In fact, I wanted to help you before, so that everyone on both sides would win, wouldn¡¯t that be better? There was no need to make things so concrete.¡±

    Qin Feng snickered. Sakyaey, the Dark Coalition member, chose rank-up items that were extremely precious. Shao Dongfeng gave Qin Feng an elixir with a massive side effect, not because he wanted to help him, but to cheat him.

    How could someone like that still be blustering about?

    Just because he was an SSS-tier meant that he could do whatever he wanted?

    Qin Feng suddenly burst intoughter and said, ¡°Then perhaps Master Shao would be disappointed. I¡¯ve absorbed the energy core of those realms and they have now be ruins.¡±

    Shao Dongfeng did not believe that at all, but looking at Qin Feng¡¯s expression made him solidify the disdain on his own face as he stared dead at Qin Feng.

    ¡°You can¡¯t be for real?¡±

    ¡°How can it not be real? These realms aren¡¯t inhabited by humans, nor do they have many resources. If the core is absorbed, then strength can be quickly increased. So, why not?¡±

    ¡°Bullsh*t, even if you absorb a realm that would take you ten to a hundred years and you absorbed neen realms? Qin Feng, don¡¯t fool me, you¡¯ll bite off more than you can chew!¡±

    However, these kinds of threats were ones that Qin Feng did not take seriously.

    ¡°If Master Shao doesn¡¯t believe me, then why don¡¯t we both go and take a look?¡±

    He proceeded to take out the spatial stones issued to him by the Human Alliance, holding it out as an invitation to Shao Dongfeng.

 Chapter 1026 - Whatever the Strong Say Goes

    <h4>Chapter 1026: Whatever the Strong Say Goes</h4>

    Shao Dongfeng stared at Qin Feng.

    The surrounding people also stared at him.

    These people had not seen an SSS-tier for many years but they had never had any hostile interactions with SSS-tiers

    Now, Shao Dongfeng was stirring up conflict with them and among those who were present, there were people who had not slept or had proper rest for seven whole days.

    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Master Shao doesn¡¯t want these realms?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    What Shao Dongfeng originally nned to do in the beginning was to gain something of value without doing much in return. Although Qin Feng¡¯s strength was impressive, he was not even an S9-tier aptitude user. In the end, even if he did not die, Shao Dongfeng would only lose out on one realm.

    However, Qin Feng did not know how to appreciate favors and rejected joining Shao Dongfeng¡¯s plot, instead he wound up killing off Sakyaey. When he obtained those seventeen realms, Shao Dongfeng thoroughly intensified that devil in his heart and desired to snatch away Qin Feng¡¯s resources.

    Now, his n had basically seeded as Qin Feng really did sumb as he had wished.

    The problem was that Shao Dongfeng felt a little uneasy.

    He could not figure out where this uneasiness came from.

    ¡°I know you can¡¯t pull tricks out of this one!¡± He let out a snarkyugh before opening up the spatial doorway and stepping through.

    Qin Feng sneered before looking at the rest.

    ¡°You guys didn¡¯t tell Shao Dongfeng about our realm, right?¡± he asked.

    Long Kong said in a hushed tone, ¡°We know the severity of this matter, how could we?¡±

    Seinakawa was very unhappy, no matter how she looked at Qin Feng she could not find a reason to like him and could not help but use him. ¡°You only think about being popr. Great, look where that got you. Troublehas rolled up to your door. Not only did you not want to cough up the things you got, you also riled up this big of a mess.¡±

    Qin Feng responded with a sneer, ¡°Then I should be like you, mediocre and passive for the rest of my life? Maybe someday, when our realm gets directly destroyed or conquered by other aptitude users, and people get sent off to worse realms to ve away on hardbour, that would be fine, right?¡±

    ¡°You¡¯re justing up with excuses for being irrational!¡±

    Li Yuan could not stand this anymore. As a member of the only family that ever birthed an SSS-tier, he knew the most about what an SSS-tier represented. Qin Feng¡¯s strength, in a matter of a few years, might really reach the SSS-tier.

    When that time came, their realm would be assuredly safer.

    Although this SSS-tier was not directly from the Li family, they knew one thing for sure: They were intimately interdependent. If Qin Feng had a hard time, then other people would have a hard time, and there would be no safe environment.

    Li Yuan scolded with a serious tone, ¡°What are you saying? Whatever the strong say goes. Qin Feng, if Shao Dongfeng really wants to upy the realms and deprive you of resources then you can report this to the Human Alliance. I also know a few SSS-tiers, all that¡¯s needed is to allocate them some benefits, then I can give you a head start.¡±

    ¡°Even if you do this, what would the difference be?¡± Qin Feng looked at the people present. He knew that these people could only do that because they were not strong enough, so they had no other way.

    ¡°Still, that Shao Dongfeng shouldn¡¯t be let off so easily!¡± Arus huffed. He had just recently be an SS-tier and that was a huge boost to his ego. Although he was not ranked the highest in the entire Human Alliance, he also bade farewell to a lower status.

    And now, reality had viciously pped him in the face.

    Qin Feng had a solemn expression, but he was not as indisposed as everyone present. That was because he had confidence and knew of a better way to deal with Shao Dongfeng.

    ¡°I indeed believe that whatever the strong say goes!¡±

    After he said this, he turned on his heel and began to walk through the spatial door.

    Everyone was shocked.

    ¡°Qin Feng, what are you doing?¡±

    ¡°He, he couldn¡¯t be...¡±

    They found this unbelievable, this kind of thinking was too bold.

    At this moment, Long Kong also started to step forward and entered the rift.

    The others were taken aback, and then Li Yuan also followed after him.

    At this time, the others quickly snapped out of it. No matter what happened, would they not find out if they went ahead to look?

    The conversation had only gone on for two or three minutes and Shao Dongfeng was still in that realm, staring at the shattered surroundings in a daze.

    Soon, Qin Feng appeared in front of him.

    In the void, there were countless broken continents floating around, along with the constant presence of violent cosmic energy that could seep into their bodies without hindrance.

    With this kind of force pressing down on, it would not take long for these bits of to crumble away and degenerate back into runes before scattering off into other realms.

    That ce had bepletely empty, would it still be called a realm? Perhaps, now that there were no more resources left, there would only just be the void.

    Shao Dongfeng saw that Qin Feng still dared to enter, and his eyes ignited with fury.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯ve really got some nerve to have destroyed this realm!¡±

    ¡°You call this destroy? I just absorbed the realm¡¯s core to let myself get stronger. Isn¡¯t that a normal thing to do? There weren¡¯t any humans in this realm either, so why not just absorb it?¡±

    The Human Alliance could not consume other realms at will if it was inhabited by human beings, but there was nothing said about the absorption of other realms. Not to mention, the realm they were in never had much value to begin with.

    For Shao Dongfeng, even if it had been consumed, there should still be a slice of the pie. Qin Feng instead consumed everything and encroached on his interests.

    How could he let this stand?

    ¡°What about the other realms?¡±

    ¡°Ate those too, you wanna have a look for yourself?¡± Qin Feng snickered before throwing out seven or so spatial stones. The spatial stones were instantly activated and turned into spatial gates. These were all the realms destroyed by his Asteroid Assimtion.

    Shao Dongfeng watched Qin Feng¡¯s demeanor and found this hard to believe. With how casually he just threw them out, it meant that these realms must be gone as well.

    ¡°Impossible!¡± Although he knew it in his heart, Shao Dongfeng could not believe it and did not want to believe it.

    It had only been a month since Qin Feng disappeared. How did he do it?

    ¡°Nothing is impossible. Since you don¡¯t seem to believe it, Master Shao, I¡¯ll prove it!¡±

    As Qin Feng spoke, a massive frozen star floated up behind his back.

    The frozen star was wless and obviously different from the white jade formed by other internal forces. The heavenly and earthly energies had no color, true internal force was transparent. However, other kinds of stuff existed within such energy, like the violent energy of the cosmos, and once absorbed that would change the color.

    When Qin Feng¡¯s frozen star was released, people could only feel that it was the purest form of power and it was also the most dangerous kind of energy.

    With such a pure internal force, when other people wanted to exert their internal force to have an effect on things, they would have to use five times the internal force Qin Feng would use.

    Besides that, it was not over yet.

    Behind Qin Feng, more frozen stars appeared one by one.

    The frozen stars were ten meters in diameter, just like the core of a low-level realm. That was shocking enough, but now that all nine cores had been revealed, it made people feel an immense amount of pressure.

    Qin Feng¡¯s sights were locked onto Shao Dongfeng.

    ¡°Master Shao, if I remember correctly... your strength seems to be only at SSS1-tier, right?¡±

 Chapter 1027 - Ahn Ping Prime

    <h4>Chapter 1027: Ahn Ping Prime</h4>

    Once someone became an S-tier aptitude user, one of the measurements of power would be the size of their internal force frozen star.

    The further one got in S-tier, the harder it was for one to be even stronger. The biggest reason for that was the massive gaps between the levels.

    When an S-tier aptitude user had just ranked up, through practising, they would quickly realize that their one centimeter in diameter internal force starglobe would quickly be a ten centimeter in diameter internal force starglobe. At this time, ancient warriors would be S9-tier, but if they wanted to be SS-tier then they would need a one meter internal force starglobe.

    With that, how wide was the gap?

    Terribly big.

    The moment they reach SS-tier, the requirement for reaching the next step would be easy. All they needed was to increase their internal force starglobe by ten centimeters.

    The moment they achieve an internal force starglobe of two meters, their strength would have already reached SS9 tier.

    When they wanted to reach SSS-tier, then they would need to get an internal force starglobe that was ten meters in diameter.

    The internal force starglobe of an SSS-tier would be ten meters in diameter, and the internal force starglobe of an SSS1-tier aptitude user was eleven meters.

    That was the size that Shao Dongfeng had within his body now, roughly at about seven hundred cubic meters of power.

    How was Qin Feng¡¯s, though?

    Each internal frozen star had about five hundred twenty three cubic meters, and he had nine internal frozen stars.

    Not counting the transparency of the frozen stars, if Shao Dongfeng wanted to be stronger than Qin Feng¡¯s internal force he needed at least seven internal force starglobes, but did he have that?

    Not even seven, his dantian only had one internal force starglobe.

    Even if it was a genius like Ming Tianhao, the reason someone would have so many stars would be to make energy easier to break down when they have reached SS-tier.

    Those who had reached SSS-tier did not need so many. In fact, in order to be an Immortal, only one starglobe that had reached one hundred meters in diameter was enough.

    Thus, when Shao Dongfeng reached the SSS-tier he had never thought about how many internal force starglobes he needed to support himself, but what was he seeing now?

    Qin Feng had nine internal force starglobes behind him. No, to say that they were behind him was not urate. With how big these starglobes were, Qin Feng looked like he was standing on top of a.

    At this moment, his power made people redden with shame.

    ¡°Master Shao, now, do you believe it?¡±

    The way Qin Feng asked his question was in fact him asking Shao Dongfeng to make the decision on whether or not he still wanted to rob Qin Feng¡¯s realms.

    He still had realms he had not absorbed and he definitely would not agree to cooperate with Shao Dongfeng.

    The veins on Shao Dongfeng¡¯s forehead throbbed. When facing the issue that was Qin Feng, he really wanted to say he did not believe it, but at this point, the situation was far beyond him.

    He knew that he had just kicked a steel wall.

    If he said he did not believe it, how would he still force Qin Feng? What could he force him with? Strength? His strength was not enough to match Qin Feng¡¯s.

    ¡°I believe it!¡±

    Shao Dongfeng gritted his teeth as he unwillingly spit out the words.

    This meant that he had given up on looking for trouble with Qin Feng.

    ¡°Oh, since Master Shao believes my words then I won¡¯t say much. There will be much time for thatter, perhaps we can reconvene next time, and talk about the past over a drink!¡±

    There was something in his words that seemed to indicate to Shao Dongfeng that Qin Feng remembered his arrogant im in bringing oppression to the people in his realm. He would not forget it.

    After he finished speaking, he did not continue nagging. They were all members of the Human Alliance, he did not have ns to strike out and cause a big scene right now.

    The next time there was a chance, he would not let that go.

    He stepped into the doorway he previously came through and left the realm.

    Long Kong, Li Yuan and the others who hade through thinking that there would be some big battle realized that what happened was a disy of martial prestige, but there was still that brow-raising, breathtaking feeling despite it all.

    Only when Qin Feng was there did they feel more at ease. Now that he had left, leaving them to face Shao Dongfeng, these people did not dare stick around as they quickly returned to the Human Alliance¡¯s bar.

    The only one left was Shao Dongfeng, who wiped sweat from his forehead as he noticed the seven or so spatial stones that Qin Feng had left behind.

    These kinds of spatial stones were the exact ones issued by the Human Alliance as reward.

    ¡°I still don¡¯t believe it, did he absorb all these realms?¡±

    He waved his hand and took these spatial stones into his grasp. In fact, he thought that Qin Feng did not take them back just to show him.

    Perhaps, Qin Feng really did do it but Shao Dongfeng was unconvinced, he still wanted to see it with his own eyes.

    The spatial doorway opened up, and Shao Dongfeng entered a realm. The brokenndmass had been bombarded by cosmic rays, and without a stable the current realm had already copsed.

    Another spatial doorway was opened, Shao Dongfeng continued his investigation.

    The third, the fourth, the fifth...

    He looked through all the eight realms in one go, and in each realm the core of theses ornd masses had already been destroyed.

    The more he looked, the more fear Shao Dongfeng felt.

    That was because if Qin Feng did all of this by himself, how powerful would he be in the future?

    If Qin Feng had more time or if he had more resources, would he then reach the SSS-tier? At this point who would be able to stop this man? Would Qin Feng retaliate against him when he got stronger?

    Shao Dongfeng inevitably fell into a state of panic after realizing he had offended someone who should not be offended.

    He immediately returned to the Central City of the Human Alliance.

    After thinking for a moment, Shao Dongfeng gritted his teeth and turned on hismunicator.

    There was an aptitude user of particr note, and this would be Shao Dongfeng¡¯s biggest trump card.

    Among the Human Alliance, there were many SSS-tier aptitude users. With how important something like the peace contest was, the fact that Shao Dongfeng could participate meant that strength was secondary. The most important thing was actually the background.

    Hismunicator had the number of one of the Human Alliance¡¯s Immortals.

    This Human Alliance Immortal was ranked number seven, named Ahn Ping. People called them Ahn Ping Prime.

    This Prime was someone who was around the same age as Shao Dongfeng. To be precise, they were ssmates and when their strength was low they were saved by Shao Dongfeng.

    Now, An Pring Prime had be an Immortal and Shao Dongfeng was greatly elevated above the rest as he naturally gained a lot of benefits.

    Shao Dongfeng felt that he had caused himself a blunder and had to seek out Ahn Ping.

    He must get rid of Qin Feng.

    Having appeared on themunicator, Ahn Ping Prime had a very ordinary face and wore ordinary clothes. All in all he looked like your average Joe.

    ¡°So you want me to go and get rid of the recent champion of the peace contest that brought a huge contribution to the Human Alliance?¡±

    Shao Dongfeng knew that what he was doing was a bit excessive. ¡°But if this person gets to grow, he would also threaten your status. Better to avoid future troubles.¡±

    Ahn Ping Prime said, ¡°I¡¯m asking you, are you sure you want me to do something? If I make a move, then after this I¡¯m done dealing with you!¡±

    Throughout all these years, Ahn Ping Prime had given Shao Dongfeng many things.

    As time went on, Shao Dongfeng became more and more unreasonable.

    ¡°Ahn Ping, this is just one little thing, why are you...¡±

    ¡°If it¡¯s just one little thing then you can do it yourself!¡± Ahn Ping said coldly.

 Chapter 1028 - Mission Assignment

    <h4>Chapter 1028: Mission Assignment</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Shao Dongfeng immediately realized that Ahn Ping Prime wanted to take the incident as an excuse for him to not provide help anymore. However, when he thought about Qin Feng¡¯s growth and the realms that he had torn down, Shao Dongfeng clenched his teeth and made up his mind to exterminate Qin Feng.

    ¡°Alright, deal!¡±

    Ahn Ping looked closely at Shao Dongfeng, reminiscing their close ties for all those years that seemed to have slowly disappeared from his memories.

    ¡°I will get rid of him, and I have nothing to do with you anymore.¡±

    Ahn Ping Prime ended the call, leaving Shao Dongfeng in a state of loss. But he did not regret his action, Qin Feng¡¯s threat was too big.

    ***

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng returned to the bar and met with the other aptitude users. They no longer recognize Qin Feng as a junior.

    They knew that Qin Feng¡¯s capability was more powerful than theirs. Upon certifying himself as an SS-tier, Qin Feng would be the most powerful person in the realm.

    ¡°Qin Feng, are you really nning to just let Shao Dongfeng get away like this? He might not go easy on you. He works for Ahn Ping Prime, and some say that Ahn Ping owes him a favor!¡±

    ¡°Oh?¡± Qin Feng was surprised. He did not expect Shao Dongfeng to have ties with a prime figure.

    However, Qin Feng did not reveal his true intention in eliminating Shao Dongfeng through his words. He was obeying the rules, as they both belonged under the Human Alliance.

    The others who were offended by Shao Dongfeng were hoping that the worst would happen to him. With Qin Feng¡¯s capability, he could absolutely ughter Shao Dongfeng and leave no chance for him to defend himself.

    But some of them still managed to stay calm.

    ¡°Why not just seek help from the upper echelon of the Human Alliance and resolve this? Shao Dongfeng will not disturb Ahn Ping Prime just because of this. It would be better for other SSS-tiers to intervene and mediate the situation!¡± Long Kong suggested.

    However, Qin Feng immediately shook his head and shrugged it off.

    ¡°Just let hime if he wants to. But all of you may report Shao Dongfeng. Or else, he might continue to do whatever he wants and vent his anger on all of you!¡± Qin Feng warned.

    ¡°Worstes to worst, we can just note back to the Human Alliance!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, this is better. With our capabilities, we are still a little weaker than the other members of the Human Alliance. Better for us to return to our own realms.¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, if you were to advance to the SSS-tier, things will be different for us.¡±

    All of them looked at Qin Feng with high hopes.

    ¡°I¡¯ll make it quick!¡± Qin Feng was only concerned about how fast he could achieve it, but not how hard he had to try. The reason was because Qin Feng already knew he could advance to the SSS-tier very soon.

    It was because of his Asteroid Assimtion and Absorption Ability.

    Then, Qin Feng parted with them. Now, the only thing he had to do was strive for constant improvement on his capability within the shortest time. There was nothing Shao Dongfeng could do about that.

    As soon as he had attained the legendary capability, he would no longer fear anyone.

    Qin Feng returned to his own vi. He looked through hismunicator, quickly found the contact of a person and sent his message across.

    Qin Feng had sent a message to Ming Tianhao.

    Ming Tianhao was not weak at all, just that he was a king-tier aptitude user trained specifically for the peace contest. His poor performance in the battle was due to Qin Feng¡¯s dominance in killing everyone else in it.

    In the end, Ming Tianhao only managed to obtain five realms and the realms were not that good either. The SSS-tier aptitude user who had cultivated him was very disappointed by it. Most importantly, Ming Tianhao had brought disgrace to himself.

    But Qin Feng had a reason to look for Ming Tianhao. It was because Ming Tianhao was backed by an SSS-tier that was definitely different from Shao Dongfeng.

    Ming Tianhao was notified by Qin Feng¡¯s message and immediately returned with a call.

    ¡°Are you sure you want to sell off these three realms?¡±

    The message that Qin Feng just sent across informed Ming Tianhao about his intention to sell off three of his realms. They were filled with inferior resources, but it was still possible for improvement through continuous cultivation.

    ¡°Of course, why would I look for you then?¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s the same question I had, why would you look for me?!¡± Ming Tianhao suffered a major loss to Qin Feng. However,e to think of it, they had no grudges with each other. It was only Ming Tianhao who had suffered a slight drop in his reputation.

    It might seem like Qin Feng had offended him. Instead, Qin Feng had saved him. Both of them were in an awkward situation, and Ming Tianhao could not understand the reason why Qin Feng was looking for him.

    ¡°Just assume that I have nobody else to look for. So, do we have a deal? If you do not have enough resources yourself, you can have others develop it along with you. But I do not have such patience.¡± Qin Feng exined.

    Actually, Ming Tianhao could not decide for himself. He had even handed over those five realms that he had to the SSS-tier that cultivated him and he was left with no resources at all.

    However, if it was a deal, perhaps the SSS-tier would value him differently, and Ming Tianhao thought that it was worth looking into it.

    ¡°How will this work?¡±

    ¡°Three inferior realms for ten junk realms.¡±

    ¡°Alright, let me ask for permission. I will get in contact with you again in an hour!¡±

    Instead of an hour, Ming Tianhao came back to Qin Feng within half an hour. He agreed to the trade with Qin Feng.

    ¡°These are the junk realm waymarks for you. We promise that we will not set foot in them anymore!¡± Ming Tianhao offered.

    The major problem of engaging in such a trade was the dispute of ownership after the deal was done. Nobody would want the previous owner toe back and im for the ownership and benefits associated with it. Ming Tianhao offered his assurance and hoped that Qin Feng would also offer the same to him.

    However, it was not necessary to have his assurance either. As Ming Tianhao was backed by an SSS-tier aptitude user, someone else would take action against Qin Feng if he failed toply.

    Qin Feng answered, ¡°Never mind. After all, I will absorb all of these realms very quickly. The core continent will copse instantly. There will be nothing left for you all.¡±

    Ming Tianhao was uncertain if Qin Feng did not understand what he meant, or he was just pretending.

    After the deal was done, Qin Feng and Ming Tianhao parted ways. But soon, Qin Feng was surprised by a notification.

    ¡°Aptitude user Qin Feng, it has been a while since you have joined the Human Alliance. Contributing to humankind is a necessary quality to have in every aptitude user. This is a special recruitment for you to join the Mangled Crater Realm in defending against the Void Insectoids. Time limitation, within seven days!¡±

    ¡°Mission assignment???¡±

    Qin Feng read the notification and immediately closed his eyes.

    To him, it felt like it was more than a coincidence.

    Because of the incident that happened with Shao Dongfeng, every aptitude user of the Blue Star Realm had returned to their own realm. Perhaps all of them would not return to the Human Alliance anytime soon.

    Qin Feng acknowledged the notice. Most importantly, Qin Feng was not given a chance to decline it.

    Upon activating the spatial entrance, Qin Feng returned to Fengli City.

    Qin Feng opened hismunicator and questioned Long Ting who had parted ways with him earlier.

    ¡°Is this mission assignment for everyone? I have just received an assignment to go to the Mangled Crater Realm, is that a very dangerous ce to be at?¡±

    Long Ting listened to the chain of questions from Qin Feng without butting in. With Qin Feng¡¯s current capability, Long Ting would have toply even if Qin Feng were to assign her to secretarial tasks.

 Chapter 1029 - Mangled Crater Realm

    <h4>Chapter 1029: Mangled Crater Realm</h4>

    ¡°There are definitely mission assignments, but most of them Are assigned to aptitude users that are in their first year of joining the Human Alliance. The main reason is for the expropriation of theirbat energy. As for the Mangled Crater Realm... I have never heard about it before!¡±

    Long Ting knew nothing about the realm. But she doubted that it was a trap.

    ¡°Qin Feng, just hold on. Let me check on this!¡±

    Although Long Ting only had average capabilities that seemed a little weak among those Human Alliance members that were above S-tier, there were still connections and intelligence sources that the Long family could use. After all, they had been in the Human Alliance for two hundred years.

    In less than half a day, Long Ting returned with news.

    ¡°Qin Feng, I was just informed that this is a new realm battle. Surprisingly, apart from you, arge number of aptitude users were also recruited. Perhaps this is just a coincidence.¡±

    The name Mangled Crater Realm seemed to be describing something rted with aerolites. It was filled with raging cosmos energy and a variety of aerolites. As the aerolites that descended at high speed were embedded withrge amounts of rare mineral resources, it was categorised as a top-tier resource realm.

    Nobody knew who had control over the realm. But it had already been opened up to everyone. The reason was because of the appearance ofrge amounts of Void Insectoids.

    Qin Feng had definitely not recruited himself into it.

    If anyone else had been recruited, it might seem like a coincidence. However, Qin Feng would never assume that it was just a coincidence. His intuition told him that it was a trap.

    But it was merely his gut feeling. Qin Feng did not have to tell Long Ting.

    After ending the call with Long Ting, Qin Feng changed his ns.

    ¡°Bai Li, how long will it take for you to go to these realms, devour the cores and advance to SS-tier?¡±

    Realm core was different from energy core. Although it was highly sought after, not everyone could get their hands on one. Not everyone was capable of entering into the realm core and devouring at high speed.

    That was for humans, but for void beasts, or even Bai Li who was a spatial beast herself, it was as easy as pie.

    The time required for advancement was even shorter than the time required to achieve S-tier.

    ¡°If I were to perform absorption and transform within the secret territory, it would not take more than a month!¡±

    As Bai Li had absorbed arge number of spatial runes from the Runic Gxy Realm, her capability had spiked, and the time required for her advancement was greatly shortened.

    Perhaps for many others, advancement of aptitude users would be more difficult when they had achieved greater heights. But for Qin Feng, it had be simpler as he got closer to his end goal.

    ¡°Take those realms for your advancement. This assignment is too much of a coincidence. In other words, my advancement journey has been obstructed again, and I can only deal with this head on. I will try not to put myself at risk for a month. Until you are out in a month¡¯s time, nobody can stop us anymore.¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    Bai Li agreed to it. She went ahead to devour all ten realms that were obtained through the exchange. She entered into the realm andy dormant where time flowed rapidly.

    Qin Feng took a rest for several days and did not go to the Mangled Crater Realm. Until the seventh day, he finally went to the headquarters of Human Alliance and entered through the glowing entrance of the mission.

    Upon his arrival, the secret plot that was aimed to kill him began to be unveiled.

    ***

    As soon as Qin Feng stepped out from the glowing entrance and entered the Mangled Crater Realm, he was weed by the freezing air from the surrounding area.

    The whizzing cold air diffused soil and grit across thend. The ground was in steel-grey color. There were some buildings around the glowing entrance and everything seemed to be built with simplicity.

    It was a newly established small-sized colony. Of course, it was popted with aptitude users above S-tier.

    Sha sha sha...

    Qin Feng heard something with his sharp hearing. Before releasing his consciousness, Qin Feng knew that the noise was not naturally formed.

    They were Insectoids.

    ¡°Enemy attacks!!! Prepare for battle!¡±

    An SSS-tier aptitude user walked out from a house in the colony. Hisbat fatigues were already covered in ashes, and there were even some scratches and traces of damages.

    There was only one reason for that. For him to suffer such damages, his internal energy shield or self-protective ability must have already shattered multiple times.

    Other aptitude users seemed exhausted from the battle. They were forced to remain vignt amid the tiredness as a slight amount of fear was noticeable in their eyes.

    Obviously, the energy was much more powerful than expected.

    ¡°What are you looking at? Get out there, stop fooling around!¡± An SSS-tier aptitude user who saw Qin Feng standing still on the ground while observing the others immediately yelled in dissatisfaction.

    Qin Feng immediately reacted and ran out along with the others.

    Soon, Qin Feng saw the enemy creature that he was about to face. At first nce, he took a deep breath.

    Surprisingly, these creatures were approximately twenty meters in height and a hundred meters in length. They were covered by ck metal carapace like a giant cockroach.

    ¡°Void beast armored star!¡±

    It was an ultra beast from the roach species. With theirrge number and extremely powerful defence energy, the armored star would devour soil and mineral resources from every realm. Most importantly, each of them from the massive tribe had the capabilities of beast generals, beast kings, and beast emperors.

    No wonder everyone was panicking.

    Meanwhile, everyone braced themselves against the beasts that were pressing forward.

    Moo...

    The animal call of the armored star sounded like a bull. Then, twelve of its legs began to move and run wild toward the colony. Even the legs were lined with hangnails that looked extremely vicious.

    ¡°Kill!!!¡±

    ¡°Stop them!¡±

    ¡°Be careful!¡±

    Screams were heard from the crowd, and everyone moved forward. Although the armored star was dangerous, the creature was packed with all sorts of treasures throughout its body.

    People would often be tempted to take the risk for an unimaginable amount of fortune. It would not change even if it was a giant moving piece of fortune.

    Qin Feng did not care about those items, and he did not want topete with the others.

    Although he did not want topete, it did not mean that the armored star would not look for him. After all, there would still be some careless mistakes when people were running for their lives.

    A giant armored star rushed toward Qin Feng; it almost had the capability of an S5-tier beast general. It was a gigantic one, with about twenty-five meters in height. It had already opened its mouth wide when it saw that Qin Feng was just a small and weak human.

    The giant mouth was filled with sharpened serrated teeth. It was not aligned horizontally but in a ring formation that seemed to have circled into more than ten rings. It was crucial for them to chew and break down sandy and rocky minerals.

    It was absolutely disgusting to have such an ugly mouthpart being aimed at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng raised his finger while a concentrated ck spot lit up on it. It had onlysted for a short moment before a pitch-ck light ray was shot directly toward its target.

    The thickness was measured at about a meter.

    ¡°Finger of Death!¡±

    A strong presence of death exploded and instantly hit on a deadly spot inside the giant mouth of the armored star.

    The glowing light prated through the armored star and shot out from the backend of its throat, as if there was no restriction at all.

 Chapter 1030 - Drafting Manpower

    <h4>Chapter 1030: Drafting Manpower</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    For Qin Feng, it was as easy as pie to take down such an ultra beast.

    While the others were still in their battle of life or death, all Qin Feng did was just raise his hand to kill those ultra beasts. It was almost impossible to miss such an overwhelming scene.

    Everyone present were aptitude users of S-tier and above, and their consciousness was all over the battlefield. There was nothing that they would miss out on at the scene.

    Qin Feng did not care about others¡¯ views. The only thing he cared about was the massive amount of energy embedded within the body of the armored star. It was being devoured and merged into his body.

    Qin Feng was tempted.

    ¡°This armored star only had its physical development maxed out, and its body is as sturdy as steel. After absorbing it, the result is surprisingly good.¡±

    Of course, it was just one armored star. But it was already equivalent to the level of absorbing physical energy from ten other Insectoids.

    But Qin Feng knew that he just needed to start small and umte to a greater amount. Only then, he would be able to enhance his physical capability. The only way was to kill, nothing else.

    The greater the physical capability, the more energy required. The absorbed energy would then be refined. It was no longer like before when core absorption could be used to directly enhance physical capability.

    He needed more kills, more fresh blood and flesh for his Absorption Ability.

    With that in mind, Qin Feng expanded his consciousness.

    There were at least a thousand armored stars detected via his consciousness. Of course, there were still members from the Human Alliance that were stationed here. There were about five to six thousand of them that were assigned for the mission there.

    However, all five to six thousand of them were positioned close to the colony to defend against the attacks of the armored stars. There were still more armored stars that were blocked by the others in the front line from moving forward, and they were totally ignored.

    Qin Feng noticed the situation and immediately took action without any intention to conceal it. His capability was already close to that of S2-tier, but hisbat energy could already pose a massive threat to an ordinary SSS-tier.

    The stronger he became, the less he cared about restrictions.

    ¡°Stygian Rush!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s shadows maneuvered through the dark at visible speed. He left his original spot and entered into the massive army of armored stars.

    There were more than two hundred armored stars around, densely crowded around the greyish-ck ground. Qin Feng then appeared in the centre.

    Dark ster was activated, while an array of horrifying dark presence shrouded around the area of thousands of meters.

    Compared to the body sizes of the massive ultra beasts, Qin Feng was just a small and weak figure. But his explosivebat energy dropped a bombshell.

    ¡°Dark wall!¡±

    Qin Feng had only released the mostmonly seen death wall, but it would already be enough to invade the bodies of the armored stars with an unidentified amount of overwhelming dark presence.

    Despite the extreme defence energy and imprable carapace that the armored stars had, they were totally useless when shrouded by the mighty dark presence.

    Under the influence of dark presence, all the armored stars fell dead on the ground.

    Qin Feng absorbed energy from the flesh and blood of those armored stars.

    ¡°This is still not enough...¡± Qin Feng was still dissatisfied, and he continued to release his dark ability.

    It was safe to say that thebat energy of Qin Feng¡¯s abilities was on par with an SSS-tier. Battles that would havested for a day werepleted in less than half an hour.

    But there were too many of them. Without Bai Li, Qin Feng did not want to clean up those armored stars. Hence, they were all sold to the headquarters of the Human Alliance.

    Just like when it was at the Omnesflores, military aplishments were redeemable using ultra beasts. Also, the Mangled Crater Realm allowed item exchange sourced from the realm with military aplishments.

    Undoubtedly, the ce was in abundance with minerals.

    Now that Qin Feng has already obtained SS-tier materials from the Broodmother Bloodlust Centipede, he only needed more precious minerals to upgrade his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    By then, his Verdant Emperor Saber could be upgraded to SS-tier.

    Several dayster, Insectoid invasions were constantly exploding within the Mangled Crater Realm. Humans were unable to move far and they were trapped within the colony. If the spatial entrance was not present, it would be as if they were being trapped in an isted ind.

    Meanwhile, an SSS-tier aptitude user felt troubled while remaining hidden in the dark.

    The SSS-tier aptitude user was Zhao Ge. He was assigned by Ahn Ping Prime to take down Qin Feng.

    However, he was shaken up by the overwhelming performance from Qin Feng.

    From thest several attacks of the Insectoids, Qin Feng did not make any mistakes he could take advantage of. Furthermore, with the number of ultra beasts that he had killed, his military aplishments had already entitled him to a lot of SS-tier minerals.

    After all, Qin Feng alone had more kills than the thousands of others in the battlefieldbined.

    ¡°With such capabilities, it is impossible to wait for him to make a mistake. Seems like I have to take a different approach.¡±

    The next day, Zhao Ge opened hismunicator and ordered a draft.

    Hence, every aptitude user from the colony stood at the central space and waited for Zhao Ge¡¯s order.

    ¡°It has been a while since we came. Every invasion into other realms that we had would always have problems with clearing out the natives. Seems like we are now facing a major hindrance.¡±

    ¡°The armored stars are not formidable creatures, but they are have a powerful capability to reproduce. I am nning to draft out some aptitude users to directly take down the armored star broodmother. I believe this will free us from this bottleneck situation.¡±

    ¡°Now, I expect active participation from everyone. I have decided to fork out a part of the SS-tier minerals avable to reward the person that can take down the broodmother at the end.¡±

    Zhao Ge¡¯s term was extremely tempting. But there were still many that remained uninterested.

    ¡°Master Zhao Ge, apart from the promised reward, allow me to ask, will you still participate in the battle? Or will you stay away from it?¡±

    Zhao Ge had only proposed a drafting. But he did not mention about leading the team himself. Perhaps he would still remain in the colony and contribute nothing to the fight!

    Throughout the past few days, Qin Feng had demonstrated his horrifying capabilities on the battlefield. Everyone had unequivocally acknowledged that he was as good as an SSS-tier aptitude user. Qin Feng dedicated himself toward the battle, instead, Zhao Ge was not involved at all.

    For Zhao Ge, he would rather leave the task of hunting down those creatures for the lower-ssborers that were ready to be sacrificed. Qin Feng was the only highly capable person that the others referred to as aparison against Zhao Ge. Hence, everyone else had extremely low confidence in Zhao Ge.

    ¡°I will definitely join in, of course. I am extending my sincere invitation to everyone. Oh yes, Qin Feng, are you in? In my opinion, you are definitely capable of taking down the broodmother, and we need a powerful figure like you.¡±

    Zhao Ge sounded like he was negotiating. However, was it even possible for an SSS-tier aptitude user to ept rejection? As soon as Zhao Ge had proposed the n, it was already as certain as the sun that rises.

    Qin Feng blinked and instantly felt that the entire plot to set him up had gone smooth as silk. It was absolutely wless.

    Zhao Ge¡¯s proposal was absolutely necessary to tackle the crux of the matter. Although there were still risks, as long as the armored star broodmother was an SS-tier beast deity, Zhao Ge¡¯s presence should already suffice to put it to bed.

    However, would Zhao Ge persevere until the end? Would he be a turncoat and abandon Qin Feng when he was hunting down the broodmother?

    With that being said, how could Qin Feng grant Zhao Ge¡¯s wish so easily?

    It would take another twenty days before Bai Li was out. Even if Qin Feng were to y for time, he would still have to drag it on for twenty days.

    ¡°Of course, I will join. But it is not that easy to get to the broodmother. In my opinion, let¡¯s clear off part of the armored stars. We will thenunch our attack against the armored starir a monthter!¡±

    <h4>Chapter 1031: Best Not to Hold Off</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Zhao Ge immediately frowned, an indication that he did not agree to Qin Feng¡¯s proposition.

    ¡°We have no time to lose! If we miss this chance, who knows what would happen in another half a month!¡± Zhao Ge said.

    Qin Feng exined further, ¡°But how is now our chance? Mr Zhao, we don¡¯t have the faintest idea of the location of the broodmother and its nest. We don¡¯t know how many Insectoids are out there too. It would be unwise to head out there without a n!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re scared? So, are you not with us?¡± An SS-tier ability user who was standing next to Zhao Ge stepped forward to provoke Qin Feng.

    However, there was no way Qin Feng would fall for his taunt. Besides, if he was really unwilling to go, no one would be able to stop him from staying put.

    ¡°My god weapon requires a few more materials to refine. I want to get some more minerals toplete the refinement process. I¡¯m sorry but I don¡¯t intend to fight in a war where I do not have enough winning chips in my hand. I¡¯ll need just one more month to prepare.¡±

    Zhao Ge raised an eyebrow and red at Qin Feng. He thought that this was a bluff.

    ¡°Alright, how about this? What materials do you need? Just tell us. I could provide you with whatever you need toplete that refinement. You can repay me with thebat scores that you earn by killing the broodmotherter. Will this do?¡±

    This was a good deal. It was quite reasonable, so there was no reason to refute.

    ¡°Yes, this will do!¡± Qin Feng nodded. He was smirking in his mind. Heh, if this excuse was not enough, he would stille up with another.

    Seeing that Qin Feng had conceded, Zhao Ge thought that Qin Feng was actually trying to bargain for a tiny bit of merit from the hunt, making the young man appear to be quite petty. This made Zhao Ge¡¯s view of Qin Feng a rather lowly one from thereon.

    Still, enough with the acting. Zhao Ge had also invited other ability users to be in the team. Well, in reality, there were only three ability users that were really on his side¡ªthey all knew what the real n was. When things go southter, they would only protect Zhao Ge and each other, leaving the others to die together with Qin Feng on the battlefield.

    ¡®If you want to me, me Qin Feng, you fools!¡¯ Zhao Ge thought to himself.

    A few momentster, Zhao Geng¡¯s underlings walked away from Qin Feng with grim faces¡ªQin Feng had asked for top-tier minerals. They had to take them out from their vaults for Qin Feng before they themselves got to use them.

    ¡°Oh, and remember I still need time to refine my weapon. With these here, I don¡¯t need a month¡¯s time now. But I would still need about 20 days. I¡¯m very sorry for causing this much trouble to everyone¡¯s schedule. So, to make up for it, I¡¯ll handle the defenses in the colony for the next 20 days. I¡¯ll help out in clearing out the armored stars too! Would this do?¡± Qin Feng asked.

    Zhao Ge¡¯s face turned even grimmer. ¡°Qin Feng, you can¡¯t do that.¡±

    ¡°I did say refining my weapon would require time. I thought I mentioned that just moments ago.¡± Qin Feng said while glinting up a confused look. ¡°If you¡¯re in a hurry, Mr Zhao, it¡¯s okay to depart first. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll catch up with youter. In fact, I¡¯ll do my best to kill all the armored stars too to repay your minerals.¡±

    Zhao Ge was extremely pissed.

    ¡°Don¡¯t push it, Qin Feng! Know your ce!¡±

    Seeing that Qin Feng and Zhao Ge were about to start a fight, the others started to gather together to calm both sides down.

    ¡°Mr Zhao, having Qin Feng improve his weapo would objectively make the fight easier. Waiting for him has merit.¡±

    ¡°We don¡¯t need to take on the broodmother right now. It would be better if we wait for another month and get more allies.¡±

    ¡°If we could get rid of some armored stars in the area, it could ease our minds when we handle the broodmotherter.¡±

    Everyone seemed to agree to wait for another month.

    Qin Feng was able to earn himself quite the reputation from the Human Peace Contest. Not only that, Qin Feng had also been working hard when facing off against the ultra beasts on the battlefield here.

    Thus, with both his reputation and actions spoken loudly to everyone here, the public was speaking in favor of Qin Feng. Besides, they believed that Qin Feng¡¯s proposition was within reason. Not only that, Qin Feng had aslo volunteered to defend the base.

    And there was indeed no need to rush it. Waiting for another month was not a problem for them.

    However, Zhao Ge had an unspeakable secret agenda; so, he began to panic.

    ¡°It¡¯s best to not hold this off. I can¡¯t wait for a month. Make it half a month.¡± Zhao Ge tried to concede to apromise.

    There was no way he would wait for a whole month. If he did that, he could not answer to Ahn Ping Prime.

    ¡°Sure, this would do too.¡± Qin Feng, too, had conceded.

    Half a month was good enough apromise for him. If things were to go south, he could still try to ask for another rain check. Besides, Zhao Ge could not openly kill him in public anyway.

    After reaching an agreement, Qin Feng brought the minerals to his quarters and took out the Magical Tesseract.

    ¡°After upgrading to SS-tier, I wonder if the Verdant Emperor Saber could still be upgraded.¡±

    Despite how powerful the Magical Tesseract was, it was bound to have a limit. The question was not whether it had a limit but just how far its limit was.

    Qin Feng took out his Verdant Emperor Saber and tossed it into the Tesseract. Then, he took out the materials of the Bloodlust Centipede and void beasts and threw them into the Tesseract together with the minerals he received from Zhao Ge.

    A short momentter, the Tesseract was able to separate most of the materials¡¯ unimportant substances.

    At this rate, the Magical Tesseract should be able toplete the refining process in another three months.

    Qin Feng did not have three months.

    However, he had other means to deal with this dilemma¡ªhe tossed the Magical Tesseract into a realm that was moving faster in time.

    A few momentster, the Tesseract came back; and a saber reflecting with crimson glints could be found inside the Tesseract.

    ¡°Good!¡±

    Qin Feng took out the Verdant Emperor Saber with his consciousness.

    Vooooom!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber let out a loud vibrating noise while unleashing a gush of bloodthirsty aura. The saber had evolved into a devilish saber.

    ¡°Now, with this saber with me, even the SS-tier Broodmother wouldn¡¯t stand a chance against me.¡±

    Qin Feng wielded the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand as he thought to himself.

    Now, all he needed to be aware of was Zhao Ge.

    In that half a month, there was a new ability user who had joined their ranks. This one was an SSS-tier; not only that, it was the Blooming Lord Petalbrook.

    ¡°Hey, Qin Feng! We meet again!¡± Petalbrook spoke to Qin Feng warmly.

    Right now, Petalbrook was in a different position. Back then, Petalbrook was the protector of her own realm at Omnesflores. Although she was renowned for her beauty, her real reputation came from her leadership. She was a capable general on the battlefield; and to her, Qin Feng was like a brother-in-arm who she had once fought alongside.

 Chapter 1032 - The Dishonorable Plotter

    <h4>Chapter 1032: The Dishonorable Plotter</h4>

    Qin Feng smiled. ¡°Wow, I never thought that I¡¯d meet the fabled Blooming Lord again. And here of all ces. Are you here to hunt down the broodmother too?¡±

    Petalbrook was stunned when she heard this. She was not here to take on the Insectoid leader. In fact, she visited this ce because she heard that there were a lot of minerals in this area. As such, she was there to bring some soil back to nurture some unique nts.

    ¡°You want to participate in that hunt? What kind of broodmother is it?¡± Petalbrook asked.

    ¡°I heard it¡¯s an SS-tier Armored Star Broodmother.¡±

    Qin Feng was not entirely sure himself. However, now that he had be this strong, he was not afraid of an SS-tier beast deity. Of course, there was also a chance that Zhao Ge had kept the actual strength of the broodmother a secret; this would mean that Zhao Ge had intended to send him and the others out to die.

    As such, when putting these into consideration, Qin Feng was indeed not sure just how strong the broodmother was.

    ¡°Oh, if it¡¯s just an SS-tier, I could help.¡±

    Thus, Petalbrook went to talk to Zhao Ge. Naturally, Zhao Ge did not want to involve Petalbrook; but if he rejected her help now, it would seem as though he was being unreasonable. As such, he reluctantly agreed.

    ¡°We¡¯ll depart in a few days.¡±

    Now that more and more ability users had joined the campaign, Zhao Ge had no choice but to make sure that hepleted his mission¡ªto kill Qin Feng.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng had also hunted down a lot of armored stars too, enhancing his physical power to nearly S6-tier. He needed just a few more physical essences to actually ascend to S6-tier though.

    If he could kill the broodmother, Qin Feng¡¯s power would surely be enhanced to that level.

    A few dayster, it was finally time to depart.

    There were now about one thousand ability users in the team, including two SSS-tiers in their ranks. About two hundred of them were SS-tiers.

    With this many capable fighters, killing an SS-tier beast deity should not be a problem.

    ¡°Depart!¡±

    Zhao Ge gave out the order with a grim face.

    He had a lot to answer to if the whole team were to get wiped here.

    Still, things had developed to this stage, so he could not go back on his n. As such, he had to go on with the n and allow this many people to die.

    Of course, Petalbrook was quite capable herself so he was sure that she would survive. And he was confident that his n was so solid that she would not be suspicious of him.

    Thus, Zhao Ge boarded his battleship with his mind at ease.

    The battleship then traveled through the greyndscape for five hours before arriving at a massive crater. The crater was about twenty meters in width. It was weird but not too remarkable¡ªthere were about hundreds of craters like this one about hundreds of meters away.

    These craters were the nests of armored stars.

    Zhao Ge scanned the area and said, ¡°There aren¡¯t any other bigger craters in the area. This means that the broodmother is dwelling underground now. You should know, the broodmother of the armored stars is very gigantic in size. When it has evolved underground, it tends to get stuck underground. This is good news because we can focus on wiping out the armored stars in the area first, taking her reinforcement away before we get to her.¡±

    Everyone nodded after listening to Zhao Ge¡¯s analysis. They knew this was how void beasts worked. When they could grasp its habitat and natural habits, they could definitely grasp its weakness.

    ¡°Everyone! Spread out and clean up the armored stars in the area!¡±

    Zhao Ge split the groups and ordered them to wipe out the armored stars in the craters in the area. He had also assigned Petalbrook to be in a different group while he had Qin Feng in his own team.

    Zhao Ge picked a crater and led his team into it.

    These craters had tunnels that were big enough for armored stars to move about one by one; but when a human travelled through it, it seemed so wide and big that they could fit in eight hovertanks.

    Zhao Ge picked an entrance and ventured through it. Qin Feng studied the ce carefully but did not notice anything peculiar. When he saw that Zhao Ge was so confident in walking onward, Qin Feng began to get cautious as he tagged along.

    Vooom Voom Voom!

    Loud vibrating noises could be heard from within the deeper parts of the tunnel as rocks started falling from the tunnel¡¯s ceiling. Apparently, there were armored stars moving toward them.

    ¡°Qin Feng, use your dark ability to weaken the armored stars¡¯ defenses.¡± Zhao Ge ordered.

    Qin Feng did not object. If Zhao Ge wanted to double-cross him, this was not the best time. Thus, he advanced forward and faced the oing foe.

    The armored stars had advanced toward the group, facing Qin Feng and the team. It widened its mouth with its razor fangs, prepared to bite their heads off.

    ¡°Finger of Death!¡±

    Without hesitation, Qin Feng dealt a fatal blow onto the armored star with his dark ability.

    ¡°Good work! Qin Feng, you¡¯ll be in the front, opening up paths for us.¡± Zhao Ge praised.

    ¡®Huh, Zhao Ge is probably trying to waste my conscious energy.¡¯

    However, Qin Feng had arge pool of conscious energy. If he kept on doing the same attack for ten straight days, he would still have a lot of conscious energy in him. Besides, killing these armored stars would actually replenish his conscious energy instead of exhausting it.

    Of course, Zhao Ge did not know about Qin Feng¡¯s real capabilities. His n was to have Qin Feng be off guard when getting all the glory of being the hero first before leading him to a tight spot where he would bepletely trapped in the Insectoid nest.

    A few momentster, they had reached a bigger space like a huge underground lobby. More importantly, the ce was crawling with armored stars.

    ¡°Be careful! It¡¯s a sub-hive.¡±

    The armored stars tend to reproduce at an insane speed. As the adults grew stronger from eating the resources in the nest, they would push all the weaker ones out of the nests¡ªthis meant that the armored stars that the humans faced on the surface were all defectives that could notpete for food in the nests.

    In other words, the armored stars in the nests here were much stronger than the ones they find out there. Each of them had the power of at least a beast king, about the strength of an S5-tier!

    ¡°Get ready. If this is a sub-hive, then the main hive where the broodmother resides should be nearby.¡± Zhao Gao ordered as he pulled out his sword.

    ¡°Deca Kendo Stroke!¡±

    Zhao Ge unleashed over thousands of shes at the enemies ahead in less than a minute.

    Qin Feng had seen this martial art before it was a martial art that Liu Chong had used before. The Deca Kendo Stroke was an S-tier martial art that was rather well-known amongst the Human Alliance.

    However, the Deca Kendo Stroke that Zhao Ge used here felt quite different from the one Liu Chong used.

    As the thousands of sword shes hit the armored stars, they began to get agitated.

    ¡°Qin Feng! Use your dark ability now! Use a Dark Wall!¡± Zhao Ge ordered.

    It was then, Zhao Ge umted a surge of internal energy and pushed it onto Qin Feng¡¯s back.

    Qin Feng frowned.

    So, Zhao Ge had finally shown his true colors.

 Chapter 1033 - The Armored Star Broodmother

    <h4>Chapter 1033: The Armored Star Broodmother</h4>

    After being pushed like that, Qin Feng fell straight into the nest.

    Zhao Ge¡¯s Deca Kendo Stroke was only unleashed with a slight portion of his own power, giving these armored stars only a tickle¡ªto provoke them to be alert. Then, he proceeded with his real motivation¡ªto push Qin Feng down to his death.

    However, he had miscalcted one thing¡ªthese armored stars were actually no match for Qin Feng at all. Well, Qin Feng, as he fell into the nest, did not intend to kill these armored stars at all though.

    ¡°Dark Shadow!¡±

    In a split second, Qin Feng¡¯s body was shrouded with his Dark Shadow. Having lost their sights on Qin Feng, the armored stars moved straight toward Zhao Ge.

    Qin Feng did not bother to check on these people. In fact, he did not really want to go through this hunt together with them at all.

    By focusing his consciousness to scan the walls of the nest, Qin Feng was able to find a crack that had winds blowing through it. Without hesitation, he stepped through it.

    Zhao Ge could backstab him anytime. As such, this was the exact incident that he needed to use as an excuse to leave him.

    Besides, if this broodmother was indeed an SS-tier beast deity, with his newly upgraded Verdant Emperor Saber, he could y it with ease. And by doing that, he could im the rewards of ying the broodmother all to himself.

    Thus, Qin Feng continued on exploring through the nest tunnels. Two hourster, he had reached a dead-end. When he tried to use his consciousness to scan the area to find the next entrance or exit...

    ¡°Hmm? What¡¯s going on? I can¡¯t scan the area?¡±

    Qin Feng took a look at the seemingly imprable rocks in the area. These rocks were rare¡ªthis was one that had plenty of rare metals and minerals after all. However, these ones could block out consciousness. This was new knowledge to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Wait... could it be...¡±

    Qin Feng put his hand on one of the rocks and unleashed his dark runes on them. The rocks then started to darken as its insides began to soften, crushing it from within. If these rocks were just ¡°minerals¡±, it would not have reacted this way. This meant that these ¡°rocks¡± were living creatures.

    ¡°Hufff!¡±

    Qin Feng took in a huge breath before extending his consciousness again. Now, even though there were still rocks and soil blocking his way, his consciousness could still travel far and wide. And the areas that could not be detected were also expanding in his conscious-mind¡¯s view¡ªplotting out a huge figure in his mental map.

    ¡°So, this thing... is the broodmother?¡±

    Qin Feng had never seen such a gigantic broodmother before.

    He felt as though the entire underground of this had beenpletely sucked dry by this broodmother.

    This was the raw power of a void beast. Just how powerful was it? This thing was not just an SSS-tier creature¡ªit could very well be an ¡°Immortal-tier¡± creature.

    ¡°Huh, I see. Shao Dongfeng is willing to go that far to kill me? Just what kind of resources or influence does he have that he couldy down such a huge stage to kill me? Or perhaps, it isn¡¯t him that¡¯s trying to kill me... it¡¯s...¡±

    Then, a name popped up in his mind¡ªAhn Ping Prime.

    If it was an entity like that, it was not unusual for Qin Feng to not be able to resist at all. Right now, all that Qin Feng needed to do was to decide if he wanted to leave or not. However, as Qin Feng peeked at the crater down there¡ªthe location of the currently motionless broodmother... His heart could not help but beat faster. This was the thirst of yearning for more power.

    If he could kill this broodmother, then his power would skyrocket exponentially.

    Still, this broodmother was so huge that if Qin Feng were to leap into its mouth, he would look like a tiny parasite to her. It was going to be rather difficult to harm such a titanic creature.

    Then, Qin Feng recalled how he yed the Glutton Leviathan.

    ¡°The more power and wealth I have, the more enemies I¡¯d get. Now that my existence itself has already threatened others¡¯ shady businesses, it¡¯s best that I grow into something they cannot afford toy a finger on!¡±

    A beam of determination glinted in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes as he unsheathed his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The de of the saber was glittering with silver rays¡ªhis Verdant Emperor Saber could now cut open the walls between dimensions.

    In just one strike, Qin Feng had prated the rocky walls.

    Despite how sharp his de was, Qin Feng could still feel that something extremely powerful was pushing back, making it difficult toplete the cut.

    This broodmother was so strong that its strength was nearing an Immortal-tier. If it did not merge itself with this realm, it could have shattered an SSS-tier to pieces if it wanted to.

    Qin Feng was like small bacteria to the broodmother; so, his attack was not felt by the Armored Star Broodmother at all. This had given Qin Feng a golden opportunity.

    Finally, Qin Feng was able to push himself through the rocky walls. It took him a great deal of time to do it though¡ªhe could only proceed less than two hundred meters within a day. Not only that, he probably had only entered the broodmother¡¯s skin¡ªnot into the flesh.

    On the other hand, Zhao Ge was able to finish off all the armored stars that went after him. The man was, after all, an SSS-tier.

    After killing all these enormous bugs, Zhao Ge looked around and saw no sign of Qin Feng.

    Of course, Zhao Ge wanted to be sure. He did not believe that Qin Feng would die so easily. Thus, he waited for a whole day for the expedition team to return.

    And he did not find Qin Feng amongst the crowd.

    ¡°Where¡¯s Qin Feng? I thought he¡¯s with you?¡± Petalbrook asked.

    ¡°Just now we got separated in the midst of battle. But he¡¯s quite powerful. So, he should be fine. For all we know, he could be still searching for the broodmother somewhere out there.¡±

    ¡°Perhaps.¡± Petalbrook did not suspect Zhao Ge¡¯s words at all.

    Then, the second day came and went. And ording to the expedition team, they still could not find any sign of the broodmother.

    This raised tension and confusion in the group.

    Then, some of them realized that the number of armored stars had begun to dwindle.

    Then came the third day... The fourth day... Still no sign of Qin Feng.

    Zhao Ge was now beginning to conclude that Qin Feng had indeed died.

    Petalbrook sighed and felt that it was such a waste for such a prodigy to fall in battle like that. To her, the young man was just a recently ascended talented rookie; so, other than feeling that it was a waste for the Human Alliance, there was nothing else that she was feeling.

    ***

    Meanwhile, in the body of the broodmother, Qin Feng had opened up another armored piece from the inside and began to devour its energy.

    These were not mere minerals. They were part of the broodmother¡¯s body, which contained enormous physical power.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s body began to swell as power brimmed up in it, enhancing its physical prowess and power.

    His body had now evolved to S6-tier.

 Chapter 1034 - The Ascending Broodmother

    <h4>Chapter 1034: The Ascending Broodmother</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s strength had also grown exponentially. He had dug for four days straight. If he had not sensed the entire body of the broodmother via his consciousness, Qin Feng would have also wondered if he was still at the broodmother¡¯s skin.

    Qin Feng swung his Verdant Emperor Saber again, cutting open the flesh around him.

    ck blood sshed around wildly after the sh!

    He had prated the flesh of the broodmother!

    Showered in blood, the Verdant Emperor Saber¡¯s de began to beam out blood-thirsty energy, like how when it first absorbed the essence of the Bloodlust Centipede. Wielding the saber, Qin Feng could also feel the excess of the energy channeled into his hand and body.

    Qin Feng, without hesitation, squeezed into the open flesh.

    This was different from the time when he was fighting the Glutton Leviathan. There was no resistance or attacks toward Qin Feng at all.

    Qin Feng smirked, ¡°Perhaps to her, I¡¯m too tiny to be a threat.¡±

    This was exactly what he needed though.

    As he turned his head, Qin Feng realized the open wound that he had cut open earlier had closed up, signifying the broodmother¡¯s rather fast self-recovering abilities.

    Inside the body of the broodmother, Qin Feng did not see much flesh. Instead, he saw a wide screen of blood everywhere.

    Insectoids were built differently from ultra beasts.

    Insectoids were, after all, insects. About 30% of their bodies consisted of blood lymph.

    Being inside the broodmother¡¯s body now, Qin Feng did not even need to move around. All he had to do was just hold his Verdant Emperor Saber and he was already feeling power that was strengthening his body.

    This felt even better than when he ventured into the Bahamut continent.

    Now that he could feel its power, Qin Feng was able to gauge the broodmother¡¯s actual strength. It seemed that this Armored Star Broodmother¡¯s power was not really at Immortal level. It was an SSS-tier beast deity that was nearing Immortal level though.

    ¡°Is this thing a hidden Immortal? Is it aiming to eventually be a... or rece the realm itself with its body?¡± Qin Feng shook his head with a smile.

    Insectoids had such a low intelligence that they did not know how to best utilize their power.

    Then, a grim expression crawled onto Qin Feng¡¯s face as he realized something.

    Right now, the Armored Star Broodmother had alreadypletely munched through the¡¯s insides. Its body might as well be the¡¯s core at this point. Due to it destroying the insides of the, the¡¯s core¡¯s energy had exploded, forming numerous minerals and resources on the outside.

    The broodmother was devouring the¡¯s energy from the inside. In fact, the realm¡¯s core was right next to the Armored Star Broodmother¡¯s mouth!

    ¡°Growl...¡±

    The Armored Star Broodmother widened its mouth and munched down the realm¡¯s core.

    The core was about five hundred meters in width, a rather huge one! Qin Feng had never seen such a huge realm core before. And now, it waspletely devoured by this broodmother!

    Without its core, the realm had lost the power to stabilize everything in it. Gravity had begun to dwindle in power as thend began to tremor.

    ¡°Oh, no!¡±

    Seeing whatever that was happening to the ground, Zhao Ge and Petalbrook¡¯s faces immediately turned grim. They both were SSS-tiers; so, they had great experiences throughout their lives. They knew that this was the sign of a realm copsing.

    ¡°Retreat!¡±

    Petalbrook yelled out loudly as she tossed a seed onto the ground. A few secondster, the seed had bloomed into a massive flower. The flower then reached the ability users around Petalbrook and held them with its petals before growing upward and out to the surface.

    However, the ability users who were not in her team were not as lucky as these men.

    Crack!

    A gigantic crack began to form from the south pole to the north pole of the, ripping the in half; the ability users who were still exploring underground werepletely crushed by this!

    They would not die immediately but this would still hurt like mad!

    By controlling her flower, Petalbrook had brought her team out to the surface. Her flower was quite a peculiar breed¡ªit was able to leap out of the soil and hover in the air, seemingly not needing any soil to live at all.

    Boom!

    Thend crashed open as the energy of the realm¡¯s core exploded out.

    ¡°Aaaargh!¡±

    Excruciating cries could be heard everywhere.

    This energy was meant to shield the core¡¯s shell. Its power was magnificently enormous and extremely destructive! With a slight scratch from this energy, some ability users were even crushed to ashes under a second! Some ability users who were much powerful, too, could not handle it¡ªthe power flushed through their body¡¯s system and overwhelmed it, bursting every single blood vessel. They died as blood bled out from all their orifices.

    Boooom....!!!!

    The realm kept on copsing. In a few hours, the entire realm had turned into a ruin. Then, a titanic-size Armored Star Broodmother emerged before them.

    The creature had ck, shining shell¡ªwhen it reflected the light from the stars nearby, it looked as though it was shining like a star itself. Hence, its name.

    Right now, there were only about a few hundred ability users left that could fight using their consciousness. Many survivors had already fled the realm after they realized that something was off.

    However, the rest of them stayed... Even if they survived, there was nothing they could do. They were too powerless when facing such a behemoth.

    ¡°This... Is this the broodmother?! It¡¯s going to evolve into an Immortal broodmother! This is not what I¡¯ve been told!¡± Petalbrook said in surprise.

    A broodmother that was about to evolve into an Immortal was not something to joke about. If Qin Feng had ventured on to take on this thing, there was no doubt that he was as good as dead now.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng was still absorbing energy inside the broodmother. At the moment, the sudden rise in the blood lymph of the broodmother had made it easier for Qin Feng to absorb its energy faster.

    Suddenly, the blood around him began to il around wildly as the entire insides of the broodmother began to tremble.

    The ability users who were facing off the broodmother too had noticed that something strange was going on. The creature was very nearly ascending to the Immortal tier. Yet, it had not after minutes had gone by. Instead, it was squirming around, seemingly in pain.

    Upon seeing this, Zhao Ge realized something.

    ¡°Petalbrook! The broodmother cannot handle the enormous energy that is running in its body. It¡¯s about to explode! We need to kill it right now, stopping its evolution in its path!¡±

    If this Armored Star Broodmother was in the middle of evolving into an Immortal, it could not afford to attack Zhao Ge at the moment. Not even if its enemies sent over hundreds of SSS-tiers at it.

    On the other hand, it was still an SSS9-tier beast deity.

    If one could y it right then, they could obtain an obscene amount of wealth and resources. Not only that, they could also obtain that realm¡¯s core.

    And if one could obtain such resources, he could be as rich as a country!

 Chapter 1035 - Crumbling Broodmother

    <h4>Chapter 1035: Crumbling Broodmother</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°Okay!¡± Blooming Lord agreed to join forces.

    Arge petal was unleashed along with her ferocious internal force. The petalnded precisely on the broodmother¡¯s body.

    Their attacks were nothing more than tickles to the Armored Star Broodmother. It barely stopped the monster¡¯s charge. But their harassment did make its course to being an Immortal slightly more difficult.

    Nheless, this slight dy was enough as thest straw they needed.

    Inside the broodmother¡¯s body, Qin Feng could feel the energy in its blood pulsing stronger and stronger.

    One of the cells beside Qin Feng finally yielded to the disproportionate power and exploded.

    Boom!

    The implosion marked the beginning of the broodmother¡¯s internal disintegration. The loud bang resonated loudly within the monster¡¯s vast body. A small st to one cell of the broodmother was equivalent to a deafening explosion to Qin Feng.

    Following the explosion, vital energy began to seep out from the deteriorated cell. Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption instantly reacted and pulled the energy into his body.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    The first explosion triggered a chain reaction. The energy inside the broodmother¡¯s body hadpletely lost control. The beast had absorbed too much energy, which was way beyond its maximum endurance. The explosive force was reduced as the burst happened right at the tip of intion.

    This outflow of energy was a great stimnt to Qin Feng.

    His physique strengthened considerably amid the explosion of the cells, which drastically raised his body temperature.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s physique evolved to S7-tier.

    However, he did not feel great about it. The power was too vast to his liking. Though it continued pushing his physique to a higher level, Qin Feng could not shake off the immense pain throbbing through his muscles.

    Pop!

    The crisp popping sound came from Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Some of his cells were beginning to burst too.

    ¡®Oh no!¡¯

    Qin Feng was shocked. He quickly sheathed his Verdant Emperor Saber. However, the highly concentrated energy did not stop diffusing into his body.

    It was overbearing.

    Qin Feng promptly stopped his absorption. He soon realized it was not a very good idea.

    Crack!

    Qin Feng¡¯s skin began to crack and bleed as soon as he stopped absorbing the energy. He was still exposed directly to the gushing force although he was not a part of the broodmother¡¯s body. Without the Absorption Ability, his body might have long been crushed by the wild turbulence.

    Qin Feng immediately reactivated the Absorption Ability. A ck giant sphere emerged above him. He tried to mitigate the energy around him with the force of death.

    He was in a tight spot. Unfortunately, his consciousness probe could not work properly in such a chaotic state. The tunnel he came in through earlier had disappeared from sight. He could no longer return to that spot since the non-stop explosions had pushed him further and further away along with the bloodstream.

    Being trapped helplessly within an irresistible force, Qin Feng was overwhelmed and finally recognized how insignificant human beings really were.

    The Armored Star Broodmother was crumbling from the inside. But at the same, it had not stopped evolving. The fate of the monster depended on which process¡ªdestruction or evolution¡ªwouldplete faster.

    Qin Feng was not more than a blood cell inside the monster¡¯s body at the moment.

    Boom!

    A deafening st erupted right next to Qin Feng¡¯s ears.

    Following the st, Qin Feng surged forward along with the blood flow. He was thrust into arger chamber at the end of the tunnel.

    Five minutester, he realized he had once again returned to the same spot.

    Boom!

    Another st, another cycle.

    ¡®I am inside the broodmother¡¯s heart!¡¯ Qin Feng finally understood.

    Insectoids only had a single loop blood vessel. That was where Qin Feng was trapped. The extreme speed made him feel dizzy. If he did not do something, he would lose control of himself and be shattered by the rapid current.

    The third time he was in the chamber, Qin Feng had the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand. Right at the moment when the heart was contracting, Qin Feng brandished the saber without hesitation.

    ¡°Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    The spirits countered the blood current and the resulting momentum slowed Qin Feng down. He moved sideways and finally found a wall of flesh after more than a thousand meters.

    He buried the saber into the inner wall of the broodmother¡¯s heart. Though the force was still pretty impactful, it was much more bearable than before. Qin Feng hung tight onto the saber and steadied himself.

    A moment earlier, Zhao Ge, on the outside, swung the ymore in his hand. Numerous internal force silhouettes came right out from the sword and lingered in the space.

    In one swift motion, he shed the ymore downward. All the qi around him obeyed the motion and struck straight down at the broodmother.

    Boom!

    The Armored Star Broodmother barely moved.

    Its shell was at least a thousand meters thick. It was beyond any human¡¯s capacity.

    Coincidentally, Qin Feng happened to unleash the Thousand Spirit Chain Rend inside the monster¡¯s heart when Zhao Ge struck.

    Triggered by the internal shock, the Armored Star Broodmother coughed up blood. The energy-rich blood was a precious gem to humans.

    Zhao Ge was encouraged.

    ¡°Quick, it is at its limit!¡± He shouted confidently.

    Blooming Lord released more and more abilities.

    Inside the broodmother¡¯s heart, arge globe was washed in by the rushing current.

    This was the the broodmother had just swallowed. It was disintegrating into the blood rapidly. Every time it shrank, huge energy pulsated out of it and rocked the surroundings.

    Once the globe reached its heart, the broodmother only needed to endure a little longer to fully digest the energy core and evolve into an Immortal.

    But Qin Feng¡¯s attack, though minimal, had still caused a tiny blight in its heart.

    The sudden, irregr palpitation developed into a bigger problem with the arrival of the globe.

    In the next moment, what was a tiny slit cracked unstoppably into arge fissure.

    Energy pulses from the escaped through the cut and ravaged the monster¡¯s organs. The internals of the broodmother were instantly smashed into a twisted mess.

    Lifeforce immediately abandoned the broodmother. Without any conscious power left, its sturdy defense was rendered useless.

    The seeds nted by Blooming Lord had fully covered the Armored Star Broodmother.

    ¡°Gctic Blossom!¡±

    Blooming Lord unleashed her ultimate SSS-tier ability.

    The nuclear explosion sted across the gxy. The powerful shell of the gigantic broodmother was shattered into pieces as if a dimension was crumbling.

    Suddenly, time seemed to have stopped ticking.

 Chapter 1036 - The Great Palm of an Immortal

    <h4>Chapter 1036: The Great Palm of an Immortal</h4>

    ¡®We made it?¡¯

    This was the first question that came into their minds.

    Then, the powerful st repelled everyone away by a few ten thousand meters. Even Blooming Lord and Zhao Ge could not close in on it.

    Power ripple began to form around the monster. At the center of the force field, a giant starglobe could be vaguely seen.

    It was the ability core consumed by the broodmother.

    The realm core was a translucent sphere. It wasrger and purer than the realm Shao Dongfeng had introduced to the contestants of the Peace Contest.

    This was an immeasurable wealth.

    Not only that but another spatial rift had urred promptly at the center. Then, a giant crystal core measuring at more than ny meters in diameter urred. It was clearly the ability core of the Armored Star Broodmother.

    The flesh of the broodmother floated around the space like satellites. They were rapidly transforming, being exposed to space radiation.

    If left untouched, the remains of the broodmother would certainly turn into a new continent after a year.

    Zhao Ge and Blooming Lord would not let that happen. These carcasses from the monster were all valuable resources. The exposure of a realm core was also a one in a million.

    However, due to the repelling force, they only got a glimpse of it and were immediately thrown away. Because of the rapid mass conversion, their consciousness was unable to probe the crystal core at the center region. Their vision was also hindered by the hovering fleshes, shells, andnds.

    Within the thick fragments, Zhao Ge and Blooming Lord did not realize that there was a human figure.

    Without a question, Qin Feng had survived.

    The moment the heart ruptured, Qin Feng yielded all his internal power starglobes. He surrounded himself with the ten internal ability cores and barely withstood the devastating energy. All the starglobes were damaged by the explosion and halved in size. Qin Feng had sustained a huge loss.

    But after the explosion, the bloating energy that almost crushed him earlier was no longer present.

    That turbulence was caused by the broodmother trying to assimte the giant ability core. After it was dead, Qin Feng could finally dismiss his Absorption Ability. The blood boiling in his body had cooled down substantially.

    Then, a gentler force started to umte in Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    The flesh of the broodmother¡¯s heart degraded into energy and fused into Qin Feng¡¯s body innately.

    It was non-repulsive, which helped to heal and restore Qin Feng¡¯s body damaged by the wilder force earlier.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s body evolved once again.

    S8-tier!

    The Armored Star Broodmother was on the verge of turning into an Immortal. Its vitality wasparable to that of a. Such energy was now flowing freely in space waiting to be harvested by Qin Feng alone.

    ¡°Absorption Ability!¡±

    He assimted the energy around him gluttonously.

    Boom!

    His body made another leap. S9-tier physique!

    Qin Feng was insatiable. His body consumed everything within a few hundred meters around him.

    Click!

    Something seemed to have been unlocked inside Qin Feng¡¯s mind. At that moment, Qin Feng could feel that his physique had ascended into a new stage. The feeling was impable.

    Finally, Qin Feng had reached the level he set out to achieve. Today marked a new milestone, as well as the beginning of another journey in his life.

    SS-tier perfect physique.

    Qin Feng had achieved perhaps the hardest upgrade of all his attributes.

    Unfortunately, the st earlier had pushed most of the broodmother¡¯s flesh more than ten thousand kilometers away. He would not go that far.

    That was because Zhao Ge and Blooming Lord were there.

    The territory key in Qin Feng¡¯s hand suddenly nged. It glowed in silver light and opened up a spatial door.

    From the other side of the door, a gorgeousdy came right through the portal.

    Bai Li¡¯s face came into sight.

    Judging by her aura, she had reached SSS-tier.

    ¡°Eh? Where is this ce? What have you done this time?¡± Bai Li looked around curiously. The flesh fragments floating around carried a pungent odor unique to the Insectoids. Bai Li could not help but wrinkle up her little nose.

    But when she saw the two giant ability cores, Bai Li eximed admiringly.

    The spherical ability core harvested from a crumbled realm could be easily stuffed into her spatial room. The eight-meter core belonging to the half-evolved broodmother was also considered half a realm core. The only thing was that it did not reach the standard of an Immortal¡¯s core. Still, its power was unbelievably huge.

    ¡°Long story. Take the two cores with you. We should leave quickly,¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li did as told and kept the two cores in her spatial dimension. She then took a scan around them. Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability had wiped out most of the nearest gems. Nheless, a lot of valuable resources were still dangling at further sites.

    After all, these were the remnants left behind by a soon-to-be Immortal.

    Suddenly, Bai Li¡¯s head turned toward a specific direction. She had clearly sensed something.

    ¡°A powerful human is approaching. He is ripping directly through space!¡±

    Qin Feng was stunned.

    This entire area was exposed to the rampant gctic force. Unless someone filtered out the force, it would be otherwise impossible to activate spatial runes in this ce.

    More so, ripping apart space should be something only a spatial beast was capable of!

    How strong could this human be, if Bai Li, an SSS-tier beast deity, had said so?

    ¡°Immortal!¡± Qin Feng grasped it quickly.

    ¡°Erase our spatial trace. Don¡¯t let him follow us.¡±

    He had guessed who the powerful user was. He must be the elect behind Shao Dongfeng¡ªAhn Ping Prime.

    ¡°Leave it to me. I am a professional,¡± Bai Li said. They then quickly moved into the alternate dimension.

    As soon as they disappeared, a giant palm appeared in the space afar.

    The palm blocked the lights from the stars. The handprint could be clearly seen even from Qin Feng¡¯s position.

    It then gripped and grabbed away a quarter of the cluttered fragments. Therge hand also ripped off the energy vortex created by the explosion.

    Qin Feng, inside the alternate dimension, was stunned by what he was witnessing. He could not imagine how a human could be this dominant.

    The palm was not a materialization of energy. Rather, it seemed to be a form of life.

    Z¡¯s spirit gave him a simr feeling, though he was not sure whether they were the same thing.

    Qin Feng did not have much time to ponder as Bai Li dragged him past the spatial tunnel.

    In the next moment, the palm gripped again and snatched another portion of the broodmother¡¯s carcasses.

 Chapter 1037 - The Missing Realm Core

    <h4>Chapter 1037: The Missing Realm Core</h4>

    Besides the Armored Star Broodmother, a giant human of ten-thousand-meter height had shown himself. The palm had grown beyond measure.

    Only two humans remained close to his feet. They were Blooming Lord and Zhao Ge.

    As for other users, they were forced to leave through the spatial tunnel after Ahn Ping Prime arrived.

    After four swoops, only a small portion of fragments was left at the scene. The giant body began to shrink.

    He did not reduce to the size of a normal human but maintained his height at about twenty meters. The Prime nced at Zhao Ge and Blooming Lord, frowning.

    The expression was especially intimidating due to his erged face.

    ¡°Have either of you taken the ability core and the realm core?¡±

    Blooming Lord and Zhao Ge immediately tensed up.

    ¡°Prime, we have only swept the perimeter and didn¡¯t go back in yet.¡±

    Blooming Lord was slightly more rxed inparison. Her father was one of the eight primes known by the name Forestral Prime. Ahn Ping Prime would not pick on her too much.

    ¡°The cores are gone? We still had a short glimpse of it before we were repelled. Perhaps they had disappeared through the rift in the central zone?¡±

    They had been pushed quite far following the explosion. With their vision blocked by the cloud of fragments and carcasses, they could not track the cores with either their eyes or consciousness.

    ¡°Alright, then.¡± Ahn Ping Prime did not say anything else after that.

    There was indeed a narrowing rift at the central zone. The cores had probably slipped into it just as Blooming Lord suggested.

    To Ahn Ping Prime, a realm core was not really that important. After all, an Immortal was near invincible.

    He would live forever and ever. The loss of a realm core did not bother him that much.

    Ahn Ping Prime ripped open a hundred-meter-long rift. He entered the spatial tunnel and disappeared from their sights.

    Phew!

    Blooming Lord and Zhao Ge were finally relieved.

    ¡®Oh yeah, we forgot to report about Qin Feng.¡¯ Zhao Ge thought about it. But all that was left were the scattered fragments. If Qin Feng was really inside the broodmother during the explosion, he must have disintegrated by now.

    A lot had died in this battle without leaving behind their corpses.

    Zhao Ge did not really care. Even users from the Human Alliance had grown a little heartless, especially those at Zhao Ge¡¯s rank. They had experienced way too many warzones in their lifetime. This time was no different from the past, and the next one would be the same.

    ¡°Blooming Lord, let¡¯s split the rest of the materials?¡±

    ¡°Of course!¡±

    They shared the remaining loot at a fifty-fifty split. Though Blooming Lord regretted not informing his father, it would be a loss to the Human Alliance if there were any conflict between the two Primes.

    The leftovers may be rubbish unwanted by the Immortal, but the remaining broodmother¡¯s fragments were treasures to the two SSS-tier users.

    ***

    Two figures appeared inside Qin Feng¡¯s vi at Fengli City.

    Qin Feng felt secure after finally returning to a familiar ce.

    ¡°You are definitely in something dangerous again. Even the Immortal came this time!¡± Bai Li stared at Qin Feng. If Qin Feng had not returned safely along with the lucrative rewards, she would have given him a good lecture.

    ¡°I never expected this to happen as well. I epted a specific mission recently...¡± Qin Feng told Bai Li everything he encountered.

    Bai Li did not need any evidence and concluded, ¡°This must be Shao Dongfeng¡¯s doing. Ahn Ping Prime did this on purpose. Zhao Ge was probably just a pawn. They probably lied to him too to lure you into the trap.¡±

    ¡°Guess so. I doubt Zhao Ge would have gone with me if he knew that the SSS-tier broodmother was about to evolve into an Immortal. Maybe even Ahn Ping Prime didn¡¯t foresee it.¡±

    ¡°Who cares. We have hoarded all the good stuff. If he finds out, the Prime would not let us off easily. I think you should not visit the Human Alliance anymore.¡± Bai Li stared at Qin Feng with her beautiful eyes. She did not like Qin Feng visiting the Human Alliance headquarter because she could not go there.

    There seemed to be a lot of unspoken rules that suggested that she and Qin Feng could not and should not be together. They were not of the same species and Qin Feng¡¯s world rejected her.

    Bai Li had never discussed this with Qin Feng, and thetter was not attentive enough to realize Bai Li¡¯s awkward situation. However, Qin Feng was very disappointed with the Human Alliance after this incident as well and decided not to return there.

    ¡°Just let them assume that I have died in the explosion.¡± Qin Feng nodded inpliance.

    However, he still had the obligation to inform those in Huaxia. The S-tiers would know what to tell the Human Alliance if they did not want any trouble.

    Qin Feng knew exactly who he could rely on for this.

    ¡°Marshal Qin, leave this to me. I will inform the rest of them. We are not so active in the headquarters now, so don¡¯t worry.¡± Long Ting ensured Qin Feng.

    ¡°You have my thanks.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s influence had grown considerably after his meteoric rise in rank. Before, it was Long Ting who would delegate work to Qin Feng. Now, their roles have been reversed.

    After the matter was settled, another problem troubled Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    ¡°What exactly is an Immortal...¡± He murmured.

    Qin Feng left the vi and went to Chu Fan¡¯sb. Z¡¯sb was right next to it.

    Qin Feng had now be more powerful than Z. Besides, Z¡¯sb was entirely funded by the Fengli Organization. All of Z¡¯s staff knew Qin Feng by now. They stopped their work and greeted Qin Feng as he stepped into theboratory.

    ¡°President Qin!¡±

    ¡°Good day, President. Are you here to look for Doctor Z?¡±

    The researchers had no idea that Z was an S-tier ability user. They just viewed him as a mad, but at the same time, visionary scientist.

    ¡°Pretend I¡¯m not here. I will look for him myself. Continue with your work.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s perception had already sensed Z¡¯s position. Z did not seal off the experimental ground. In fact, he was currently being surrounded by most of theb members. Qin Feng could see that he was inside arge transparent vessel. Numerous tubes connected to the vessel were delivering unknown liquid into it.

    Z was experimenting on himself.

    One of the liquids was gold in color. Qin Feng bet that it must be thetest version of the awakening potion. The other fluids were probably liquefied energy.

    Z noticed Qin Feng and raised his eyebrows. He curiously delivered a telepathic message to Qin Feng.

    ¡°What a rare guest. Why are you here today?¡±

    ¡°What are you doing this time?¡± Qin Feng did not answer him and asked another question instead.

    ¡°Are you beginning to have interest in my experiment? Great! You don¡¯t need to do what I am doing. Judging by the energy level in your body, you would only need to take a dose of the awakening potion to be perfected,¡± Z answered enthusiastically.

    ¡°I am not interested. But keep talking,¡± Qin Feng replied.

 Chapter 1038 - The Eternal Presence of an Immortal

    <h4>Chapter 1038: The Eternal Presence of an Immortal</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Z continued to talk since he had nothing else to say, ¡°Hehe. Let me be honest with you, you should have realized after so long that I could no longer train to upgrade by myself.¡±

    Z knew Qin Feng had eyes on him. He did not really care. The moment he epted Qin Feng¡¯s proposal, he knew that Qin Feng would eventually find out.

    He continued with a grin, ¡°However, you wouldn¡¯t be able to kill me. I have the same biological structure as that of an Immortal. I won¡¯t grow old, I can¡¯t be exterminated, and I will exist forever.¡±

    Z raised his hand as he spoke. The skin around his wrist suddenly turned ck. It twisted into a form of energy, which separated the palm from the forearm. The two parts remained connected by thin threads between them.

    ¡°You are saying that this is the body of an Immortal?¡± A storm rumbled in Qin Feng¡¯s mind.

    ¡°Yes. You thought that I am inventing a potion that would only awaken the full potential of a human body? That¡¯s not enough! I am trying to create an Immortal! Unfortunately, I am just a half-product!¡±

    Z revealed his weakness without any concern. He was a proud scientist, not a man chasing the peak of martial arts or ability. Thus, he spoke without constraint.

    ¡°You have not seen an Immortal, so I understand your confusion. Me and my mentor were lucky to witness the power of an Immortal in the past. They are different beings from us. It is possibly the greatest evolution a human could ever achieve. They are beyond death and their invincible body could be deformed and reformed at will.¡± Z said excitedly.

    ¡°Using this as our starting point, my mentor and I have done a lot of research. Sadly, my biological structure could be turned into an Immortal, but my power wouldn¡¯t evolve after a certain level. I am still looking for the reason behind it. You are different. Your absorption is otherworldly, so your spirit would definitely be outstanding. I believe you are going to be an Immortal one day!¡±

    Qin Feng rejected him, ¡°I don¡¯t need the potion to be an Immortal.¡±

    ¡°No, you don¡¯t understand. It requires a thorough, irreversible transformation of your life form. I heard that periodically, the old Immortals would bring the SSS9-tier users to a sacrednd to undergo the transformation ritual. Without the ritual, no one can evolve by themselves. Not you, not another human, not even other creatures! It¡¯s impossible without external stimtion!¡±

    Z said that confidently. Qin Feng suddenly remembered the Armored Star Broodmother that had exploded. Even something as powerful as it had died easily in the end. If the disintegration of cells was the so-called transformation ritual, then the broodmother had clearly failed the test.

    What type of ce then, could ensure the sess of such a high-risk ritual?

    This location must be under tight surveince by the Eight Primes. There was no way he could outlive the Immortals, or discover the location without them knowing.

    Qin Feng¡¯s biggest hurdle in bing Immortal thusid in Ahn Ping Prime.

    ¡°That¡¯s why I am going to create an immortal by myself. I am halfway there now, and you will be my other half.¡±

    Qin Feng sneered, ¡°You loathe me, and my other half is Bai Li.¡±

    Z was choked by Qin Feng¡¯s response. ¡°I am talking about the experiment!¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t put your hope in me. I see that your experiment is advancing well. Perhaps you will master absorption one day. With your Immortal¡¯s body, I believe the time wille soon.¡±

    Qin Feng knocked on the vessel a few times. He already had the answer. Though the path in front of him had be clearer now, he also understood the immense challenge he needed to face.

    But that would not stop his determination. Qin Feng would rid anything or anyone trying to block his path.

    Z stared at Qin Feng¡¯s back and felt helpless. Qin Feng had be even stronger than thest time they met. His life force was immeasurable now. Perhaps Qin Feng could indeed break through the barrier and reach Immortal rank by himself.

    That would not help his experiment at all. Z was on his own after Qin Feng rejected him yet again. Unfortunately, the physique of an Immortal was a blessing and a curse at the same time. The near-perfect form meant that it was extremely difficult to be altered or strengthened through external stimuli.

    ¡°That¡¯s a shame,¡± Zmented.

    ***

    After Qin Feng met Z, his troubled mind had been calmed considerably. He had no fear despite learning that Ahn Ping Prime was the biggest hindrance he would need to ovee.

    Qin Feng trained intensively in the following days.

    Fighting the Armored Star Broodmother had caused Qin Feng a huge loss. But it was nothingpared to his gain from the crusade.

    Little by little, the eighty-meter Broodmother¡¯s core and the three-hundred-meter Immortal¡¯s starglobe were absorbed by him.

    Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

    Only one-third of pure power was retained from the two cores. It was distributed evenly to the nine frozen stars, boosting the power of the stars into one-hundred-meter diameters.

    ¡®If I didn¡¯t get a glimpse of Ahn Ping¡¯s powers and hear the story from Z, I would have thought that I am close to an Immortal now.¡¯

    Qin Feng had gone to both inferior and superior realms. The former was normally a small with about a ten-meter radius, while thetter was like Bahamut and the Aether Realm.

    The power he obtained was thetter group.

    When an Immortal ceased to exist (God knows why), the internal world would expand into a realm. The core at the center of this realm was the so-called realm core. Humans generally regarded a one-hundred-meter radius as the separation between mortal and Immortal.

    At the very least, all the SSS9-tier ability users¡¯ cores were at most ny meters. That was the widely known bottleneck.

    However, Qin Feng came through and surpassed the boundary.

    ¡®Biological structure... Indeed, no matter how powerful my physique is, this flesh is still too fragile.¡¯

    Qin Feng suppressed the swelling joy of achieving a great feat. He knew this was far from enough.

    Though one of his nine frozen stars was already more powerful than most SSS9-tier ability users, his dark ability had weakened considerably.

    ¡®I can defeat an SSS-tier easily now. Why don¡¯t I revisit the Bahamut realm again?¡¯ Qin Feng was moved by this thought.

    Though the Human Alliance had forbidden its members from going, the Dark Coalition was not constrained by the restriction order.

    But before Qin Feng had made a decision, a message came through hismunicator.

    It wasing from the strongest elect from the Long family¡ªLong Kong.

    ¡°Marshal Qin, I bet it¡¯s easy for you to take care of a few SS-tiers now?¡± Long Kong asked rhetorically.

    Qin Feng was surprised. ¡®Does he need my help?¡¯

    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Qin Feng did not answer, implying that Long Kong was not wrong to suggest so.

 Chapter 1039 - Pinnacle Meeting of the Blue Star

    <h4>Chapter 1039: Pinnacle Meeting of the Blue Star</h4>

    ¡°Some people are having wild ambitions and trying to create havoc!¡± Long Kong grinned coldly, then he exined, ¡°You havee back for two months now. Afraid of being revenged by the SSS-tiers, our ability users have restrained themselves from going to the headquarter recently. Some still had their concerns and went to get intel from different sources. They found out that Shao Dongfeng had a lot of his resources reimed by Ahn Ping Prime, so they deduced that the former must have something to do with your disappearance.¡±

    ¡°No wall is impermeable. You were the champion of the Peace Contest. Some began to link your disappearance to Shao Dongfeng due to the feud between you two being exposed during the contest. They believe that Shao Dongfeng must have requested that Ahn Ping Prime exterminate you, and now the Prime is setting himself apart from Shao.¡±

    ¡°We are the only ones who know that you have survived the crusade. Some of the Dark Coalition members know as well. They are envious that you have hoarded all the loot and want a piece of it. They threatened to break the news to Ahn Ping Prime if you refuse.¡±

    It was out of Qin Feng¡¯s expectation that things would be thisplicated.

    Men¡¯s greed knew no bounds!

    These Dark Coalition members were courting death!

    ¡°I understand now. If they have a death wish, I will fulfill them!¡± Qin Feng said coldly. His urge to kill was boiling over.

    Long Kong was stunned. He sympathized with those who had provoked Qin Feng. Dark Coalition members were not the only ones meddling in this chaos.

    ¡°As for now, they proposed to have a pinnacle meeting. Since you are from Huaxia, they agreed to have this meeting at Dragon Capital. All SS-tiers from the Blue Star Realm have been invited. So far, 15 of them have agreed to attend.¡±

    ¡°15?¡± Qin Feng frowned. The situation was worse than he had imagined.

    The entire Human Alliance had a total of neen SS-tiers.

    When the Runic Gxy Rune was opened up, Qin Feng had killed one. The vacancy was quickly reced by a new SS-tier.

    This equaled twelve SS-tiers from the Human Alliance, and seven from the Dark Coalition.

    Even if all members from the Dark Coalition would attend, who were those extra eight? So, the Human Alliance members were also going to back the Dark Coalition¡¯s unreasonable demand now? If they were on Qin Feng¡¯s side, Long Kong would not have needed to ask for his attendance.

    Qin Feng finally understood the meaning of ¡°wild ambition¡±.

    These Human Alliance members might not have the intention to betray him, but they, too, wanted a piece of the cake. They resented the fact that Qin Feng had created a mess and gained all the benefits, while they had to bear the consequences with nopensation. This opportunity should not only fall to the Dark Coalition¡¯s hands.

    ¡°Alright. Inform everyone. I will be there in three days.¡±

    This might not be the first time Qin Feng was disappointed with his so-called ¡°allies¡±, but this was definitely the most exasperating one.

    ***

    Three dayster in Dragon Capital.

    The importance of Dragon Capital went without saying. Being the center of the Huaxia Alliance, this ce was always the most developed city in the region. They had the best armories and defense, as well as the highest number of high-tier aptitude users.

    But the residents in Huaxia had no idea what kind of existence they were having in town today.

    The time was very close to twelve noon. At the ninth level of Dragon Capital, all the SS-tiers had gathered inside a spacious meeting room. None wanted to miss this opportunity, especially when theirpetitors had all agreed to attend.

    As a result, all neen SS-tiers from the Blue Star Realm were here today.

    Creak!

    The heavy door was pushed open. A man strolled proudly into the room.

    The others sat up straight when they saw him.

    ¡°Sorry for the wait,¡± Qin Feng addressed the users from the Huaxia Alliance. Long Ting guided him to the main seat. There was a subsidiary seat beside it reserved for Bai Li.

    The rest of the aptitude users did not sit side by side. The left row was the Human Alliance, while the right was the Dark Coalition. So there were more people on the left than on the right. The members of the Dark Coalition were seemingly restless.

    Singhnar was especially nervous. He knew how difficult an opponent Qin Feng was after dealing with him in the Runic Gxy Realm.

    Besides, Qin Feng would only be more powerful now. He had gone through the Peace Contest and was given ample resources after emerging victoriously.

    Actually, Singhnar was the only one who voted against this operation. He did not even want to attend the meeting but yielded after being pressured by the other members.

    ¡°We can start now!¡± Qin Feng said.

    One of the Dark Coalition members furrowed his brows. The Human Alliance¡¯s side had fourteen members including Bai Li and Qin Feng. They were heavily outnumbered by two to one. Though he knew the members of the Human Alliance were not all on the same page, he still did not have enough confidence to challenge them.

    ¡°Wait, we still have one member left.¡±

    ¡°We have waited long enough. Don¡¯t waste our time anymore,¡± Long Kong sneered.

    ¡°There¡¯s still some time before 12!¡± The user rebutted.

    Qin Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, ¡°Who are you waiting for? I thought everyone is here?¡±

    Long Kong exined, ¡°I believe he means Endo. Perhaps you have never met him.¡±

    Qin Fengughed it off. ¡°Endo? Then we can start right away. He won¡¯t be here.¡±

    The others threw him a peculiar look. They did not understand the certainty in his tone.

    Qin Feng looked around and announced, ¡°I killed him!¡±

    ¡°What!¡±

    ¡°How¡¯s that possible?!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, do you really want us to leak the news out?¡±

    The Dark Coalition members were petrified and started panicking. Some SS-tiers among the Human Alliances were also gutted. They never expect Qin Feng to be this cold-blooded.

    They could not believe he went to kill Endo even before the meeting ensued.

    Only Singhnar held a different opinion. He recalled the lightning rune left at the entrance of the Runic Gxy Realm. A frightening realization came to his mind.

    ¡°When did you kill him?¡±

    Qin Feng looked at the familiar face of Singhnar. He considered him as an acquaintance.

    He no longer needed to hide it. Qin Feng answered him honestly, ¡°Right at the rift when the Runic Gxy Realm opened up.¡±

    The provoked members were stunned by his answer. Pin-drop silence befell the meeting room. Palpable breaths were the only sound that existed amid the restless atmosphere.

    If Qin Feng was honest, then the murder happenedst October. It was more than half a year ago. Everyone knew what Qin Feng had undergone after that.

    The scariest part was that Qin Feng could kill an SS-tier then without leaving any trace behind.

    In other words, nobody could leave today if Qin Feng wanted them to stay.

    They immediately regretted their action.

    ¡°It seems that none of you have any questions left. You may speak freely now that I am here. I heard that someone has threatened to report me to Ahn Ping Prime.¡± He smirked and looked to his right. ¡°Are you the one?¡±

 Chapter 1040 - The Dragon-Borne Return

    <h4>Chapter 1040: The Dragon-Borne Return</h4>

    The Dark Coalition member stared at Qin Feng, his entire being felt as if he was struck by lightning.

    When he looked into Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, it was as if he could see a cycle of starglobes, and thergest among them all was a dark starglobe.

    ¡°It¡¯s not me, it¡¯s not me!¡± The Dark Coalition member quickly answered, his back was drenched in cold sweat and he only felt relieved after he blurted out ¡®It¡¯s not me¡¯.

    ¡°Then, is it you? Or you, maybe it was you?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s gaze fell on them one by one. Those people of the Dark Coalition were previously, oh so arrogant, now they had be a fearful bunch.

    Finally, his gaze fell on Singhnar. Singhnar had long known how powerful Qin Feng was, and at this moment, he silently felt even more difort.

    After going to the rune fields in the Runic Gxy Realm, Qin Feng¡¯s ability cores had already be five meters in diameter, and that was terrifying.

    Little did he know that Qin Feng¡¯s dark starglobe had actually shrunk a little.

    Just when Singhnar was about to open his mouth to speak, all of a sudden Qin Feng and Bai Li both sensed something and raised their heads.

    Bang!

    In an instant, the spatial stabilization device exploded and then the members of the Human Alliance that were present began to hear an rm being red from theirmunicators.

    [Attention. There has been a violent tremor through space. A rift has been discovered in a vertical location 300 kilometers away!]

    Riip!

    Everyone could hear it. It was as if something had been torn apart.

    Qin Feng was the first to sprint to the side and look up into the sky.

    There seemed to be some kind of invisible energy blowing away the clouds in the sky. In the originally clear sky, he could see a massive rift tearing across it.

    It was three hundred kilometers away but it was clearly visible. One could only imagine just how vast it was.

    The entire Dragon Capital was in a panic.

    Those who were present at the meeting all had their hearts skip a beat.

    ¡°Could it be, could it be that Ahn Ping Prime heard the news so he came charging over...¡±

    ¡°Yes, it has to be. Great job Qin Feng, now we don¡¯t need to say anything. You can wait for your end!¡±

    ¡°Qin Feng, you asked for this!¡±

    The Dark Coalition members were obviously very relieved.

    However, the members of the Human Alliance had fear and panic on their faces, and they finally vented this feeling onto Qin Feng.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you¡¯re harming our realm!¡±

    ¡°If the Immortal wants to kill us, all they¡¯d need is just a snap of their fingers!¡±

    ¡°I knew I shouldn¡¯t have helped you hide this!¡±

    Those who did notsh out verbally also felt despair at this point in time. After all, the Immortal was too strong, they could not run now.

    The Immortals were people that could obliterate the entire realm with one blow.

    It was at this moment a loud dragon roar was heard from the rift above their heads.

    From the rift, a dragon¡¯s head was seen.

    The people present had seen such a thing before. This was a transformation technique of the Dragon-borne, which allowed them to turn intorge dragons.

    It was not Ahn Ping Prime.

    It was a Dragon-borne.

    However, this Dragon-borne carried with it a powerful aura. Even when it was tens of thousands of meters away in the sky, the people below found it hard to breathe. This was an SSS-tier being.

    The people present did not have anything to say, but those in the top of Dragon Capital burst out into a panic.

    ¡°Dragon-borne! They¡¯re back!!!¡±

    ¡°Just how strong is this guy, why can¡¯t I move? I don¡¯t even have the strength to resist this!¡±

    ¡°No, is Dragon Capital going to fall?¡±

    These people cried out in despair.

    ¡°Quick, activate the energy shield. Full defense mode. Do not let them in!¡± Long Ting called out, then Dragon Capital¡¯s defensive shield was activated once again.

    However, in the eyes of this SSS-tier aptitude user, this was nothing more than a joke.

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    With a disregarding snort, the huge ultra beast breathed out a gust of wind.

    The gust of wind turned into a massive dragon before it crashed into the defensive shield.

    It was like popping a bubble, and the extremely powerful shield around Dragon Capital copsed instantly.

    The diffusing energy swept across the buildings, sending tremors all over as the ground shook. The building that Qin Feng and the others were in was one of the first to experience this, and the ss windows instantly shattered.

    Whoosh!

    The energy blew over, making people unable to open their eyes. The SS-tiers were able to resist the st of air, but they could not stop themselves from getting blown back.

    The only one remaining in their position was Qin Feing, who was propped up by his internal force. Among this internal force was also Long Kong, Li Yuan and Long Ting.

    ¡°What is this?¡±

    ¡°Dragon-borne, how could theye to this realm?¡±

    ¡°Did you not hear what those humans were yelling about? The Dragon-borne hase here before!¡±

    Those who were not used to the Huaxia Alliance were also dumbfounded by it all. All they knew was that this was not Ahn Ping Prime, instead it was an SSS-tier alien force that hade to attack them.

    The Dragon-borne disaster of one and a half years ago had finallye.

    ¡°What a weak realm star, but this must be it!¡±

    The Dragon-borne¡¯s aura enveloped the entire Blue Star. Many people did not see the Dragon-borne but they could hear the noise he was unleashing.

    ¡°It seems that the elites of my tribe had all been in by you! You will all pay the price. Starting today, this realm is under the dominion of the Dragon-borne, and you, all of you have be our ves! If you resist, you will die!¡±

    A sound that rumbled like thunder sted all over the world. Even those on the other side of the Blue Star, where it was night time, could hear this noise. People were awoken from their slumber, and following that was utter panic.

    A ve to the Dragon-borne, everyone knew just how terrible that would be.

    After all, the Dragon-borne originated from the coption of evil beasts and humans.*

    Considered as sphemous by humanity, this kind of behavior had extended down the line. Dragon-borne attractions, even Dragon-borne females, were strongly attached to humans. It was pretty much instinctual.

    Now, there was a powerful Dragon-borne wanting to invade the realm, how could humans not fall into despair?

    Those who had never seen a Dragon-borne were people who were far too weak. They could only pray that the strong ones would rise up to kill this evil Dragon.

    However, the people in Dragon Capital felt crippling hopelessness.

    They could clearly feel that this was an SSS-tier Dragon-borne and most importantly, their realm did not have anyone that was an SSS-tier aptitude user.

    This was an existence that they could not possibly contend with.

    Why would God be so unfair, letting their realm fall into chaos again after experiencing the Great Rift Age and making things worse than before?

    Why could they not live in a peaceful ce?

    Why were they not defended by an Immortal?

    The people of Dragon Capital had no clue on how to fight back, and could only bear unwilling helplessness.

    ¡°The defensive shield, activate it again!¡±

    The spread of energy had caused too much damage to Dragon Capital. Long Ting roared out, carrying with her the presence of a generation of female generals.

    If everyone was despairing at this time, Long Ting could not despair.

    The signal interference to theirmunicators was too severe, Long Ting had to announce that using her consciousness to rouse the people in charge of the shields.

    However, her action obviously drew the attention of the strong Dragon-borne toward her.

    ¡°Huh, an ant, but they don¡¯t look half bad. I¡¯ll take that and have her bear my heirs!¡±

    The Dragon-borne reached out a hand.

    A terrifying hand made out of energy reached down from the sky.

    At this moment, the humans felt like they were like an ant at the edge of a cup and that Dragon-borne was like a giant who was going to crush them without regard.

    ¡°Look out!¡±

    ¡°Get away!¡±

    ¡°Defend the chief!¡±

    Everyone started to call out.

    Long Ting was their conviction, their leader. Nothing must happen to her.

    *Trantor¡¯s Thoughts: Oh dear, oh no, oh goodness...I¡¯m just happy our reality isn¡¯t like that.

 Chapter 1041 - The Superior Realm of the Dragon-borne

    <h4>Chapter 1041: The Superior Realm of the Dragon-borne</h4>

    However, Long Ting¡¯s subordinates, even those who were S-tier, might as well be trying to stop a runaway car with an arm.

    SS-tiers were even more aware of the difference in power between them and did not dare make any moves.

    Long Kong wanted to intercept but it was toote.

    At this moment, a ray of silver light suddenly appeared over Long Ting¡¯s head.

    This silver light was so fast that it was impossible to keep up with using their line of sight. The light instantly repelled the giant energy hand and rushed straight into the sky.

    People could see that the silver light kept going and flew into the edge of that spatial rift.

    At the same time, the powerful Dragon-borne realized that something was amiss and abruptly retracted his arm, but it was already toote.

    The silver light passed through the fleeting shadow of the Dragon-borne¡¯s arm and sliced something off.

    Whoosh!

    A huge meteor-like object fell down and crashed onto the top of a building.

    Boom!

    The meteorite stopped and it was at this moment people saw that it was actually a beastial w that had been magnified countless times.

    The people of Dragon Capital widened their eyes.

    Who?

    Who actually had the strength to cause effects on an SSS-tier aptitude user.

    The SS-tiers present all suddenly turned their heads and had their eyes locked onto a figure.

    It was a devastatingly beautiful woman, but previously these people had not seen her until now. When they thought about it, cold sweat dripped down their backs.

    This was the woman that was always by his side. ording to the tales, she was the spatial beast that Qin Feng made a contract with, Bai Li.

    Her strength was always a subject of debate.

    From what could be seen now, her true power was something that they could not imagine.

    ¡°SSS-tier!¡± Singhnar hissed out through gritted teeth.

    That idea also floated into the minds of the others.

    ¡°This realm is under my protection. If you dare show your ws again I will slice off your hand!¡± Bai Li¡¯s consciousness rose into the air as her aura skyrocketed. She had reached SSS-tier.

    ¡°Damn it!¡±

    The powerful Dragon-borne was extremely angry.

    He got careless, he did not anticipate Bai Li¡¯s attack and that ended up with him getting a broken nail.

    Just now he had been unting his power and had spouted plenty of arrogant things, but he ended up getting the equivalent of a punch in the face. How could he not be angry?

    ¡°You will die!¡±

    The Dragon-borne roared, then he leaned his body out as his neck stretched out to be ten thousand meters long.

    This meant that this being¡¯s body was at least fifty to sixty thousand meters long. What a terrifying size.

    Then, the Dragon-borne opened his mouth and unleashed a Dragon Breath.

    Moreover, he was aiming directly at Dragon Capital.

    If this move was allowed tond, then the entire Dragon Capital would be brought to ruins.

    In response, Bai Li suddenly transformed her body.

    Ever since she mastered Shapeshifting, she rarely transformed into her original form for battle. Though now, if she wanted to face off against the Dragon-borne, she naturally needed this body.

    A beautiful snow-white giant fox appeared in the sky above Dragon Capital, swelling rapidly.

    Compared to the Dragon-borne, Bai Li¡¯s body was much smaller, only about ten thousand meters in length. Her ten tails looked soft and fluffy, there were silver spheres attached to the end of each tail.

    ¡°Seal!¡± Her consciousness spread out.

    The ten tails moved simultaneously and a silver light enveloped the entire Dragon Capital.

    Under this light, the people in Dragon Capital found that the sky above them had turned greyish white.

    Those who were SS-tier aptitude users immediately realized what was about to happen.

    ¡°Dimension space!¡±

    What they did not expect was for Bai Li to be so powerful that she could drag the whole of the Dragon Capital into her dimension space.

    They had mixed feelings about all this. They knew that Bai Li was stepping up to protect their realm but on the other hand this meant that the Blue Star realm had to rely on an ultra beast for defense.

    How tragic was that?

    However, Bai Li did not continue to move, as if sealing away Dragon Capital was enough.

    ¡°No, we can¡¯t let that energye down, the other colonies...¡± Long Ting cried out, but in the next moment, she went ck jawed like a child seeing the city for the first time as she noticed a figure in the sky.

    At this moment, the world she now existed in was the dimension space, and it was devoid of color. Even then, she could still see that a human was flying out of Dragon Capital wreathed in a huge quantity of internal force.

    That person was Qin Feng.

    Bai Li would protect Dragon Capital, but had Qin Fenge out to defend against the attacks from that powerful Dragon-borne.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see how far my internal force has gotten!¡±

    The internal force surrounding him suddenly changed and became like a reflective surface.

    Qin Feng was also a gunslinger, but with how gunslingers currently were there was not a single one that could step foot into S-tier. Despite this, their techniques could be used at any time.

    ¡°Deflect!¡±

    The internal force¡¯s smooth mirror-like surface was hit by the Dragon-borne¡¯s Dragon Breath, and then was sent bouncing back.

    Whoom!

    The powerful energy reflected back, reversing its trajectory.

    ¡°What?!¡± The Dragon-borne could only st out another Dragon Breath again to sh with the iing energy, and as they collided they exploded within the void.

    The massive wave of energy tore through space, the blue sky that originally had a massive crack torn through it suffered even greater tragedy as it became riddled with holes.

    Qin Feng¡¯s face turned pale. He knew that no matter how powerful he was, as long as his opponent fought here, the Blue Star Realm would inevitably copse. That was how fragile it was.

    There was only one way, and that was to charge forward.

    He pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    His internal frozen stars began to melt and infuse the Verdant Emperor Saber with internal force. As its essence increased, reaching the S-tier, so did the power of its energy attacks.

    One cleave!

    That would part the heavens!

    ¡°Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    Energy burst into the sky.

    With this burst of energy, even the powerful SSS-tier Dragon-borne had terror fill his eyes. In his point of view this attack was the equivalent of an SSS9-tier aptitude user attacking with all their might. Even he could not resist it.

    He wanted to retreat, but the specters had already rushed forward, gone through his chest and sted at the rift.

    In an instant, that rift expanded again, but this time as it expanded it seemed to have opened a passage,pletely connecting the two worlds.

    From the point of view of the others, they saw the Dragon-borne get flung out and that rift was no longer pitch-ck. Instead, it had changed colors to resemble a neb that had a star in it.

    This seemed to be a very nearby star. When the Dragon-borne opened the rift, it opened into outer space so that their would be below it. Now, it waspletely clear for humans to see.

    It was just that seeing this brought with it a massive shock.

    What they saw weres about a hundred times the size of their moon, and that there were five of them in total, all connected together.

    Although the humans could not see clearly what it was like within that realm, the energy that was being transmitted through the rift let them know that that realm was akin to paradise.

    A superior realm.

    The Dragon-borne realm.

 Chapter 1042 - The End of the Great Rift Age

    <h4>Chapter 1042: The End of the Great Rift Age</h4>

    Qin Feng¡¯s stare was full of murderous intent.

    Since his own realm had suffered a blow in this battle, why not have a stroll around someone else¡¯s turf?

    An SSS-tier aptitude user could not stop Qin Feng¡¯s movements.

    Meanwhile, on the continent where the Dragon-borne resided, they looked up into space as a bright blue came into view.

    The was so beautiful that they could not help but gasp at the sight.

    There were only a few Dragon-borne S-tiers but they realized that something was wrong, so they flew off theirndmass and stepped off into space.

    At this time, Qin Feng had already stepped into their realm.

    The huge SSS-tier Dragon-borne had been seriously injured as the hole in its chest was bleeding profusely. Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber was infused with blood before he shed forward.

    Pfft!

    The head of the SSS-tier Dragon-borne was sent floating off into the cosmos.

    Within Dragon Capital, everyone who had been watching was staring with widened eyes.

    The lower-tier aptitude users roared with excitement. They were not aware that there was such a strong individual that had appeared in their realm.

    And those who were SS-tier aptitude users felt a chill go down their spines as panic filled their hearts.

    Especially the aptitude users of the Dark Coalition. They were frightened. Previously, when Qin Feng threatened them, they still had the idea to spread the news about him after leaving.

    Such an idea had disappearedpletely at that point. They did not dare expose their intentions toward him as they wiped away any plot and deception they had been brewing up.

    His strength made them scared beyond scared!

    It was at this time when Bai Li¡¯s ten tails moved again. The effect of the dimension space disappeared and Dragon Capital returned to the Blue Star.

    Then she gracefully lept up and flew toward the void. With a gente sway of her tail, the giant rift in the sky began to mend.

    The cracks that appeared in the sky began to disappear. Thest thing people saw of Qin Feng was him in the Dragon-borne¡¯s realm over their continent, just as giant draconic figures began to fly out.

    Some people could not help but worry about him being in danger, but they quickly realized that their realm was also in danger.

    The two Dragon Breaths that the SSS-tier Dragon-borne sted out had caused detrimental damage to their realm. Now, it was riddled with holes. Bai Li only sealed up the big one and did not bother with the rest.

    Then, she transformed into her human shape before she descended toward Dragon Capital.

    ¡°Lady Bai Li!¡± Long Ting called out to her from a low-rise building and bowed to Bai Li while she was still in the void.

    ¡°Thank you!¡±

    Long Ting said with sincere respect.

    If it were not for Bai Li, if it were not for Qin Feng, the disaster they faced today would have probably been the Blue Star Realm¡¯s final hour.

    ¡°Thank you, Lady Bai Li!¡±

    ¡°Thank you, thank you for saving us!¡±

    ¡°Lady Bai Li, my life is indebted to you. I wish to be of service!¡±

    A bunch of aptitude users called out, caught up in the moment¡¯s excitement.

    After surviving what would have been their end, they would naturally be excited.

    Even those S-tiers and SS-tiers were being respectful to her.

    She was stunned for a moment, but she was a fox who had seen the world. Quicklyposing herself and nodding lightly, she announced via her consciousness.

    ¡°As I said, this is my realm. It is under my protection. Nothing more, nothing less.¡±

    This kind of cool attitude made Bai Li satisfied with herself.

    However, she also had her own business to deal with and could not stay in the air forever. In a sh, she reappeared in front of Long Ting.

    ¡°This attack by the Dragon-borne had a great impact on us. In the beginning, the spatial beacon was leaked but I managed to seal it, but the seal was not absolute and it was broken.¡±

    Long Ting thought of the previous battle followed by the rifts being wiped out. Dragon Capital was indeed safe for one and a half years and it was only when the SSS-tier Dragon-borne made a move that the seals were destroyed.

    She quickly became rmed. ¡°Then, could you seal it again? Just look at the state of the Dragon-borne¡¯s realm, I¡¯m afraid that it is a superior realm and might contain an Immortal. Then our realm would really just be a clod of dirt that they can easily step on!¡±

    Bai Li confidently raised her small chin. ¡°That¡¯s what I¡¯m talking about. I can close off the rifts in this entire realm, except for the spatial passages that humanity has already established, but after that... After that, unless I unseal everything, the spatial beacons used to go to other realms or to return from them can¡¯t be used. What are your thoughts?¡±

    How important were spatial beacons? The easiest example would be the Dragon Gate Tower. If Bai Li started sealing, the Dragon Gate Tower would no longer open.

    There were many other things as well that would be simr to this.

    However, all the rifts also meant the rifts that existed on the frontlines. If there were no ultra beasts, then the entire human race would finally get some breathing room and maybe after a hundred years, humanity would finally regain its supremacy.

    This news thrilled people.

    ¡°About this...¡± Long Ting was really surprised but she knew that this was not something she could make a decision on.

    However, it just so happened today that all the SS-tiers of the Blue Star realm were present and they had a right to decide on this matter.

    ¡°Everyone, what do you think of Lady Bai Li¡¯s suggestion? Is anyone against it?¡± Long Ting transmitted this through her consciousness and those surrounding SS-tiers quickly started thinking about all the resources they had.

    ¡°Seal off all the rifts? You know that our realm is an inferior realm, the spatial rifts are a hazard but they are also a resource!¡± An SS-tier quickly retorted. There were indeed a few spatial rifts under hismand that had special qualities that he could enjoy on his own. Not establishing a spatial passage also meant that he did not have to share these resources. He then carefully exined himself, fearing that Bai Li would be unhappy, but after he finished exining he felt a twinge of regret.

    ¡°I agree with the sealing. For the Blue Star Realm, this is a good thing. Then, perhaps the true disaster would pass.¡± Another said with a smile, looking a little too supportive and perhaps even sycophantic. In reality, for these SS-tiers who had countless realms and countless resources, so what if the Blue Star Realm was destroyed?

    That usual saying ¡°Fend off ultra beasts¡±, was only something said to children.

    ¡°But there are some realms that would only open at special times. Must we give up on these? We hold few of them and the lower-tier humans need those to get stronger.¡± Another person warned.

    ¡°Then, we can mimic what the Human Alliance does and establish realm gates. If there are enough realm gates then what would be our limits?¡±

    ¡°Then suggest...¡±

    The Human Alliance began to debate amongst themselves and some were even talking about where the realm gates could be built. Obviously this was for the importance of resources in the future and these gates would require Bai Li to open them. These people just did not have that kind of power.

    However, with the entire realm currently being torn apart by rifts and these people continuing to discuss, it only proved that they were too blinded by profit.

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°You still want to make proposals now? We only need to pass one, which is to seal the rifts. Are there any disagreements?¡± Long Ting said.

    Several other people immediately became nervous and observed Bai Li¡¯s face very carefully. As for the people of the Dark Coalition, they had no right to speak at all. The matter that offended Qin Feng earlier had not been resolved yet.

    ¡°I agree!¡±

    ¡°Agree!¡±

    ¡°Agree!¡±

    The SS-tier aptitude users finally made up their minds.

    Within half an hour, the entire realm was ravaged with hundreds of holes and many rifts opened up with ultra beasts pouring in. With natural disasters happening all over, it seemed as if the realm had entered the beginning of another Great Rift Age.

    However, this day would in fact be the end of the Great Rift Age.

    Later generations would also mark this day as the beginning of the Realm Age.

    Soon, Bai Li once again released a silver light, and this light formed arge that wrapped around the entire realm. The rifts that had broken out in countless ces quickly shrank and faded away.

    Even the many cracks in the frontlines had begun to close.

    What Bai Li did not tell everyone was that, at this moment, she was the master of the realm. Even if spatial beasts wanted to enter, unless they could kill Bai Li outside of the realm, they could note in.

    And she had grasped onto every point of the entire realm, nobody could shake her position. This realm belonged to her.

    Even then who would want to oppose her? With her strength, she could already do whatever she wanted.

    ***

    Meanwhile, in the void, Qin Feng yed the powerful SSS-tier Dragon-borne with a single blow.

    Not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability burst out and the body of the SSS-tier Dragon-borne began to rapidly age, and under the influence of the violent energy of the cosmos, its ashes drifted away before disappearing.

    The energy contained within the enemy and the energy core were also absorbed by Qin Feng and incorporated into his dantian, replenishing what he had lost.

    At this moment, a group of aptitude users flew toward him, all of them were S-tiers or SS-tiers.

    When they saw the rift being closed up, and Qin Feng had killed one of their own, their blood boiled.

    ¡°Human, how dare you kill a Dragon-borne!¡±

    ¡°Kill him.¡±

    ¡°I will make him feel a thousand cuts.¡±

    These Dragon-borne rushed in all at once.

    They did not see who that Dragon-borne was and only knew that one of their own had been killed. If they knew that it was an SSS-tier, they would definitely not try to sh with Qin Feng.

    However, the ignorant had no fear and these Dragon-borne regarded humans as ves. Qin Feng¡¯s killing was the equivalent of challenging their status.

    This was something that could not be tolerated.

    Qin Feng also could not tolerate the Dragon-borneing down to the Blue Star Realm again and again.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber had been unsheathed and this weapon, which was now an SS-tier god weapon, was about to begin a new massacre.

    sh!

    His internal force fueled the weapon, causing an energy de to violently burst out into space. The S-tier Dragon-borne attacking him, the closest one facing him, was immediately killed before it could resist.

    These people, in his eyes, were no more than shapes without souls.

    Pfft pfft pfft pfft!

    The corpse of the S-tier aptitude user floated into the cosmos, its blood did not even scatter. The SS-tier Dragon-borne in the back widened its eyes and transformed into its form of arge Dragon.

    However, this de would not stop and continued to cut without hesitation.

    Rip!

    It was like the sound of a piece of paper getting torn, a very soft noise, and in the next moment the already dead Dragon-borne¡¯s body was split in two.

    The other Dragon-borne behind it was originally going to attack, but they began to panic when they saw this happen.

    ¡°What is this? SSS-tier aptitude user? An SSS-tier human hase.¡±

    ¡°Run, turn back, get reinforcements!¡±

    ¡°Scatter!¡±

    The Dragon-borne fled like bereaved dogs.

    Qin Feng watched these originally arrogant Dragon-borne breakposure, but his mind was not at peace.

    He remembered the Dragon-borne prodigy¡¯s unyielding behavior back in the Perished Lands.

    How, when the Dragon-borne invaded and just a few of their S-tiers made humans tremble in fear.

    This time, an SSS-tier Dragon-borne arrived at the Blue Star Realm, and the entire human race thought that it was the end of the world.

    Even though every time they defeated the invading enemy at the end, that was only because humanity had to react.

    Now, Qin Feng was the one taking the initiative, and as his strength increased, the others would also be afraid of him.

    ¡°That¡¯s why the strong are respected. As long as you can be strong, you can make the enemy tremble with fear instead of idly letting yourself get beaten!¡±

    The weak would be beaten. The strong would beat the others.

    Qin Feng would rather be an executioner than amb for the ughter.

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    He didn not show any mercy. The Dragon-borne would be in. Even if he did not overturn this realm, he would kill the Dragon-borne of this realm and force them to bow before him so that they would never dare toe back.

    He would let them know that this wall was one that they could not topple.

    Qin Feng chased after them.

    The S-tier and SS-tier Dragon-borne were naturally absolutely terrified, and it was obvious what their objective was. They were rushing toward the central.

    This was especiallyrge, it was full of energy and most importantly, it had more than one SSS-tier aptitude user!

    This was the central star of their realm.

    Whoosh!

    Qin Feng pierced through the realm¡¯s protectiveyer and as the cosmic energy around him weakened, he was able to amplify his perception without limits.

    As the nine frozen stars turned, it let his perception spread throughout the realm.

    He discovered that the technology on this was quite advanced. There were many ultra beasts as well, but most of them had been domesticated or were to be ughtered. Dragon-borne were spread all over the, and there were a small handful of other races. Most of them were humans.

    These humans were not particrly weak, perhaps they had lived here since they were young or perhaps they had been brought here by those stronger than them.

    They had rather nk expressions and their lives were miserable. They were used as reproduction tools and as entertainment for the Dragon-borne.

    This was the sorrow of the human race.

    Qin Feng¡¯s grip tightened on the Verdant Emperor Saber and his heart was filled with murderous intent.

    ¡°Today, I will do something that someone from the Dark Coalition would do!¡±

    As he said that, the internal force frozen stars appeared under his feet.

    One, two, three...nine!

    Then the frozen stars began to transmit internal force and merge into the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    On the de, a terrifying behemoth spirit began to manifest.

    There were no other phantoms, only one, and Qin Feng had never activated it until now.

    SSS-tier beast deity level, spirit of the Armored Star Broodmother.

    It was like that of aary satellite, but as internal force from the frozen stars was flowing into it, it began to expand again and again.

    Like a massive celestial body, imbued with pure energy, it suddenly burst out.

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    Boom!

    The energy-infused spirit roared out and sted toward the central of the Dragon-borne!

    Looking into the cosmos, it was like a bright de.

    Then...

    The star shattered!

 Chapter 1044 - Humans Fight Back

    <h4>Chapter 1044: Humans Fight Back</h4>

    Therge superior star of the Dragon-borne¡¯sndmass was attacked by internal forceparable to the energy of an SSS9-tier beast deity. This attack was made from an energy that was wlessly pure, and it resulted in a huge rift opening.

    That was not just some powerful earth-shattering move.

    The star broke and the stabilized space was broken, forming into a spatial rift.

    Some pieces of the ground started breaking off to fly off toward the rift in space.

    It was the end of the world.

    The Dragon-borne did not dare to imagine that such a thing would be happening to their world.

    However, at the same time, there was hope in the eyes of the races that were attached to or taken by the strong members of the Dragon-borne.

    In an open-pit mine meant to mine minerals, there was a group of humans. The strengths of these humans were not low, they were all A-tier aptitude users.

    However, they were overseen by an S-tier aptitude user. They knew thatpared to an S-tier Dragon-borne they might as well be ants.

    Their overseer had just disappeared. He seemed very angry as he rushed into the sky. These humans had been with the Dragon-borne for so long that they had mastered theirnguage. They had already heard the news without needing to hear it via consciousness.

    A human had invaded the realm.

    ¡°Is it true? Humans have really arrived? Could it be to save us? The Dragon-borne are so strong though, he might also be a ve.¡±

    This kind of thinking made those who had hope suddenly lose it again.

    They did not dare have excessive expectations.

    Not long after, the entire world started to shake violently.

    The humans immediately climbed above ground, feeling the earth beneath them shift and shudder as if a mountain was being flipped on its side.

    For many humans, spatial rifts represented the unknown, danger and death.

    At this point, the dull eyes of these humans suddenly regained their original spark.

    ¡°That damn wyrm isn¡¯t back yet and those spatial rifts are gonna reach this ce. If we get there, we¡¯ll be able to escape!¡±

    ¡°Move! What are you waiting for, figure it out while we run!¡±

    ¡°Is it because of that human? It¡¯s gotta be, gotta be! Make a break for it, we¡¯re free!¡±

    The humans who had been trapped here for years started to frantically run and scatter into some spatial rifts. Some rifts were still small and naturally they were sealed up after they entered, so the Dragon-borne could not follow them.

    It was not just humans that were running, even the low intelligence Trolls and other barbaric species that were enved began to run away.

    At this time, within avish pce of the Dragon-borne, a few human women survived the massive shockwave. They looked to the sky and began to cackle.

    ¡°Hahahaha, it¡¯s dead! That demon is dead!¡±

    One of these women was an SS-tier aptitude user. She was one of that SSS-tier Dragon-borne¡¯s concubines. She was forced to sign a ve contract with him, unable to make significant choices for herself no matter how strong she was.

    Now, she felt those shackles on her body disappear, so that could only mean one thing¡ªthat Immortal was dead.

    It was not just her, but the other two hundred human women who were forced into a soul contract felt it too.

    That Dragon-borne was finally dead!

    ¡°Free, I¡¯m free, I never thought that this day woulde!¡±

    ¡°Die you Dragon-born bastards, I¡¯ll kill you all!¡±

    These women went berserk and did not care if their surroundings were getting consumed by rifts or if it was the end of the world. For them, this was a day for revenge and they wanted to y any enemy that was in their way.*

    Throughout the continent, the humans started to fight back, and the Dragon-borne was in a panic.

    The was falling apart, violent energy was pouring in from the rifts and more importantly, their homes were getting destroyed.

    Everything was too sudden, too unbelievable.

    And those SSS-tier Dragon-borne did not expect that the massive attack that was sent out was something that they could not resist. Fortunately, the ce that Qin Feng attacked was the weakest unmanned part of the. Otherwise, these SSS-tiers would have been pulverized to dust.

    These people were all terrified, and in the next moment, their eyes widened in surprise.

    The next star shattering strike was different from that Armored Star Broodmother explosion. It was smaller in force but the attack had left the core of their realmpletely exposed.

    Thendmass had broken apart to a point where it was irreversible, but the core of the realm was something the SSS-tiers, even the Immortal, considered as an invaluable treasure.

    The remaining five SSS-tiers saw the realm¡¯s core and greed overwhelmed their fear before they seethed with rage.

    ¡°Do not let that creature touch our realm¡¯s core!¡±

    ¡°Stop him. He must not have much power left after unleashing such a devastating move!¡±

    ¡°That realm core is mine, don¡¯t any of you dare touch it or else I¡¯ll report you to the Supreme Dragon Lord!¡±

    They roared madly before bursting through the already unstable liquid energy to approach the core.

    However, there was one person that was much faster than they were.

    That person was Qin Feng.

    The first thing he did after his assault was speed toward the core.

    This was indeed the core of a superior realm. It was about two meters wide and was in the prime of its life. Now that the realm was getting destroyed, the star¡¯s fate was without a question.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s nine frozen stars began to rotate, and they unleashed a terrifying absorbing force.

    The nine stars quickly began to regain their powers.

    It was not just replenishment as they quickly returned to their original size at an extremely quick pace.

    The core in front of him began to shrink rapidly.

    The Dragon-borne that were closing in saw this and their hopes were shattered, then they started wildly attacking Qin Feng.

    The thing was, how could these Dragon-borne even be Qin Feng¡¯s match?

    Now that he had all nine frozen stars, nothing below an Immortal could take him.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    After killing one, he did not mind killing five more!

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion, Attract!¡±

    The frozen stars sted out internal force, and one of the Dragon-borne was unable to control their bodies as they were pulled in and were defenseless.

    In the battle between two SSS-tiers, one mistake would determine the oue. Not to mention, the gap between him and them was massive.

    Pfft!

    The heart of a Dragon-borne was pierced, blood spurting all over.

    The other SSS-tiers were so shocked that they were too afraid to step forward.

    They could only watch as Qin Feng madly consumed the core.

    With the Absorption Ability removing impurities, the energy of this realm would suffice to replenish him with the energy he spent on calling forth that single world-breaking strike.

    This meant that he did not actually gain anything at all.

    That did not matter to him. All he wanted was to destroy these arrogant Dragon-borne.

    *Trantor¡¯s Thoughts: Humans are space orcs. We¡¯ll rip you in half given the chance.

 Chapter 1045 - Destroy the Dragon-borne

    <h4>Chapter 1045: Destroy the Dragon-borne</h4>

    ¡°Charge!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s cry pierced through the air.

    This enraged scream was heard by the SSS-tier Dragon-borne present, they saw theirrades die and their hearts were gripped with terror.

    ¡°How could that be a human? He has to be a demon!¡±

    No other human would be able to do this, this human in front of them was obviously just SS-tier in terms of strength. At most he would be a beast deity of that caliber, but he could kill an SSS-tier Dragon-borne despite that.

    The Dragon-borne are not like humans, from the moment they hatched they were the equivalent of beast generals and had the potential to reach S-tier. Each of them could develop their bodies into the king level, otherwise how else would they be able to transform into huge dragons?

    However, right now they were being ughtered in seconds. This threw their original line of thinkingpletely out the window.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you dare approach, we won¡¯t count your crime of destroying our continent if you leave immediately. Or else our Immortal will chase you till the end of the universe!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a sneer, saying, ¡°From the looks of it, your Immortal isn¡¯t in this realm then. That¡¯s very good.¡±

    It was not that he was afraid of the Immortal, he knew that the Immortal would not take action on a whim. After all, the Immortal had many realms under their control and could not just defend one ce. Since they were not here right now, Qin Feng would keep killing until their rivers run blood red.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    His Verdant Emperor Saber tore through the cosmos. He no longer activated his Spirit Chain Rend, that would have been needless overkill!

    No more than a sliver of time flickered past, and all the SSS-tier Dragon-borne died violent bloody deaths under Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    If it were two SSS-tier aptitude users of simr strength, there was a chance that neither of them would be able to kill each other after three whole days of battle. A fight to the death between two beings of that power would have taken at least ten days to half a month.

    Right now, Qin Feng¡¯s overwhelming internal force was just too strong, being just under the Immortal, and killing these SSS-tiers was like butchering hounds.

    At this moment, a figure dressed in white appeared in the cosmos.

    After having dealt with the situation on the Blue Star Realm, Bai Li entered this realm.

    When he saw her appear, Qin Feng seemed to look like he was thinking of something before he made up his mind.

    ¡°Bai Li, use space runes and bring all the S-tier Dragon-borne from those four continents over here!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    She could sense his emotions, but in the end she still supported his decision.

    Not because she was a beast deep down, with no regards for right or wrong.

    It was simply because this whole thing was Qin Feng¡¯s choice.

    In a sh, Bai Li¡¯s silver light spread out to an immeasurable distance. In fact, she was enveloping the continents with it.

    Afterward, all the S-tier Dragon-borne with surprised expressions on their faces appeared in the void of space.

    There were at least thousands upon thousands of them.

    Qin Feng did not hesitate.

    ¡°Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    A hundred thousand phantoms flew out shrieking, even though the Armored Star Broodmother was not unleashed, this was enough.

    The thousand upon thousands S-tier Dragon-borne were crushed into a slurry.

    Their physical energy, as well as the energy contained within their bodies that was starting to scatter all around, was then absorbed by Asteroid Assimtion.

    The base energy was not much, especially after removing the impurities. Qin Feng could only use it to replenish the amount of internal force he had used.

    However, their physical energy was very abundant.

    Boom!

    His physical form broke through again and reached the SS1 tier.

    ¡°Take away their realm¡¯s core by any means necessary. Since we¡¯ve already offended them, we might as well destroy it all!¡±

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go ahead on my own. You stay here and wait for me!¡±

    Bai Li was not apassionate, gentle soul. She, too, demanded a great amount of resources.

    Bai Li was a spatial beast capable of destroying any superior realm. As the cores of these realms were all taken away by her, the four continents began their countdown to destruction.

    Qin Feng remained in the cosmos, waiting for her. At this moment, he could see arge number of humans flying out from the four continents.

    Among these humans, there were S-tiers who were leading them, following behind were arge number of A-tiers and B-tiers. There were some C-tiers but not many.

    Humans that were too weak were not suitable for reproductive purposes, as such the Dragon-borne sold them off like livestock.

    ¡°Sir, thank you for the rescue! I am Concubine Xia*...No, my name is Xia Mingxiao. How should I address you, Sir?¡±

    The one leading them all was an SS-tier human woman, she had an attractive appearance and wasparable to Blooming Lord¡¯s beauty.

    Her gown was not tattered, it looked rather luxurious and was studded with jewels. Qin Feng deduced the identity of this woman in an instant.

    She was probably that powerful SSS-tier Dragon-borne¡¯s favorite concubine.

    This kind of thing wasmon among Dragon-borne but as a human being, how could being controlled by anyone be a good thing?

    The contracts these people signed were definitely not benevolent contracts, they were ve contracts.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± He responded by transmitting his consciousness and saw that there were even more humans flying away from the copsing continents.

    Xia Mingxiao was the strongest among them and was also the favored concubine of the powerful Dragon-borne that invaded the Blue Star Realm. After the Dragon-borne died, she could feel her contract disappear, and she started her massacre. During then, Dragon-borne suddenly disappeared after getting shrouded in a silver light.

    Fortunately, with her strength, she was able to notice Qin Feng ughtering the Dragon-borne in the realm.

    So, she decided to head over to thank him, but she also had other purposes.

    Although there were spatial rifts everywhere, who knew what dangersy behind them? It would be like leaping into a tiger¡¯s den.

    With that in mind, she gathered the people to bring them here and pay their respects to Qin Feng.

    ¡°Lord Qin Feng, some of us here have nowhere to go. You saved us but we have nothing to repay you with. We are willing to be your humble servants.¡±

    Qin Feng did not think that these people would do such a thing, he could not help but feel moved. Even though his strength had reached SS-tier, there were few people he could truly rely on. Where would he look for them? In the Blue Star Realm?

    The Blue Star Realm had been stabilized and Qin Feng did not intend to continue his path of destruction. This was an opportunity.

    However, he did not n on epting everyone. He did not run a recycling center.

    ¡°I don¡¯t want to get bothered by these things. The captives who know their own realm can head back by themselves, as for the rest, I can let you live in one of the realms under my domain, but I will say in advance that I have very strict conditions. You choose!¡±

    The people did not know what to do and the chatter via consciousness began to be like white noise.

    But soon, this chatter was suppressed and Xia Mingxiao said with a chilling tone, ¡°Even if you want to leave, there is nowhere to go. Nobody has the time to wait for you. Lord Qin Feng has even less time for that. Let¡¯s go to his realm first and we will discuss thister!¡±

    Everyone went quiet, after all, Xia Mingxiao was the strongest human among them and she held a high status before. Back in the day, she used to n covert operations with the Human Alliance to try and get the Dragon-borne to turn on each other.

    With that, the humans all settled down, and at this time, Bai Li also returned.

    *Trantor¡¯s Note: The original word was ¡®ÏÄ¼§¡¯ (Xia Ji), the Chinese character ¡®¼§¡¯ is used to refer to concubines like a title.

 Chapter 1046 - The Uncrowned King

    <h4>Chapter 1046: The Uncrowned King</h4>

    Bai Li had a smile on her face. It was obvious that she had gained quite a lot.

    Soon after, the others also saw Bai Li, and their gazes became infatuated.

    Bai Li¡¯s appearance was so beautiful that it could topple countries and cities, and it made people gasp in admiration.

    However, on the continent of the Dragon-borne, this appearance was equivalent to the beginning of sorrow.

    However, they quickly reacted.

    Now, they were about to leave this ce, and the Dragon-borne continent was about to be destroyed.

    However, just as they were thinking about this, rumbling sounds came from all four continents. Then, the earth started crumbling, the energy was moving in reverse, and the realm started copsing.

    The four continents started to copse one after another, turning into ruins. The humans who came out first had their mouths wide opened. They did not expect such a thing to happen.

    ¡°It¡¯s been settled. What¡¯s going on with these people?¡± Bai Li asked.

    This was a voice that came from her consciousness. The others had also heard it.

    This time, it caused great waves of shock to rise in the hearts of these people.

    Did this woman mean that she was the one who caused the copse of these realms?

    ¡°The humans who have escaped want to find a stable realm to stay in for a while. Later on, open a passage to the Aether Realm!¡± he conveyed this via his consciousness, yet a thought appeared in his heart and it was transmitted to Bai Li, ¡°Open it further away from where people are gathered. It would be best if it¡¯s on the other side of the continent!¡±

    There was another benefit of the Aether continent. The wind and snow could iste consciousness. Although there were SS-tiers among these people, istion still existed. Unless the icebergs happened to move and fuse the two continents together, otherwise, it would be impossible for them to meet.

    ¡°Alright, got it!¡±

    Bai Li nodded and activated a huge spatial door which was at least thirty meters wide. It was very easy for these people to enter.

    ¡°Space runes!¡± Xia Mingxiao was immediately shocked when she saw the ability Bai Li released.

    Only spatial beasts could master space runes. Such ultra beasts were extremely rare in the universe. It was impossible for humans to have such an ability.

    Therefore, Xia Mingxiao was also certain that Bai Li was the human form of the spatial beast.

    Because of this, Xia Mingxiao felt that Qin Feng was even more unfathomable.

    Qin Feng was no longer using his ability. With the dark aura surrounding his body, Xia Mingxiao naturally did not know that Qin Feng¡¯s strength was only at SS1-tier. She did not even dare to imagine that Qin Feng had such strength.

    ¡°All of you go in. What are you waiting for?¡± Bai Li said via her consciousness.

    ¡°Yes, My Lady!¡± Xia Mingxiao hurriedly responded. As for Bai Li¡¯s identity and the copse of the four realms, even if she was a human-shaped ultra beast contracted by Qin Feng, Xia Mingxiao had lived on the Dragon-borne continent long enough to clearly know who she should and should not offend.

    Under Xia Mingxiao¡¯s instructions, the other humans also entered the Aether Realm.

    In the end, only Xia Mingxiao was left. She wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Clearly, she wanted to say something.

    After all, Qin Feng had not agreed to what she had in mind.

    Qin Feng nced at Xia Mingxiao and calmly said, ¡°Although the resources in this realm aren¡¯t bad, the living condition isn¡¯t too good. Once you are there, you will have to take care of everything on your own. With your capabilities, I¡¯m sure you can take them along with you if you want to leave.¡±

    Xia Mingxiao¡¯s eyes were filled with disappointment. It was clear that Qin Feng refused to ept these people as his subordinates.

    Xia Mingxiao mocked herself deep down. With her identity and strength, it was true that such an existence like him would not take a fancy to her. After mocking herself, she finally stepped into the spatial passage.

    Bai Li then sealed the spatial passage and erased all its traces. She also erased the spatial aura that was torn apart by her when she came.

    Moreover, all the Dragon-borne above S-tier had died. Perhaps some of the Dragon-borne prodigies knew the spatial waymark of the Blue Star Realm, but there was no way they would be able to break through Bai Li¡¯s spatial seal, nor would they be able to transmit the spatial waymark to their Immortal.

    Everything had already been destroyed in this shattered realm.

    ***

    In Dragon Capital, countless ability users were busy. Due to the previous attack of the SSS-tier Dragon-borne, the rift had copsed, and countless powerful ultra beasts had entered their realm. Not only that, when Bai Li sealed the rift, countless battlefields hade into contact with danger instead.

    Thus, the higher management of the various Human Alliances was gathering information to fill in the gaps.

    Only the SS-tier ability users were still in Dragon Capital, including the six members of the Dark Coalition. No one dared to leave.

    These people¡¯s expressions did not look too good. Although Qin Feng had saved the entire realm, in their hearts, they hoped that Qin Feng would die outside.

    ¡°He¡¯s back. There¡¯s a spatial passage, Lord Qin Feng should be on his way back now!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s great, Marshal Qin has returned safely.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s good that he¡¯s alive, it¡¯s good. He was too impulsive before!¡±

    Even though Qin Feng¡¯s strength was terrifying now, Qin Feng, who had been a prodigy for the past few years, was clearly known by the older generation S-tiers. They felt that Qin Feng was still young, and that he could not do things properly.

    Moreover, the S-tiers of Dragon Capital were all people from the Huaxia Alliance. On the surface, they wereining about Qin Feng¡¯s recklessness, but in reality, their sense of pride had soared tremendously. If they really were in front of Qin Feng, these people would not dare say anything.

    After returning to Dragon Capital, they finally stopped using their consciousness tomunicate. Bai Li looked at Qin Feng curiously.

    ¡°The Fengli Organization is alsocking people now. That SS-tier is also quite strong. Why did you send her away?¡± Bai Li also felt that these people were very suitable for the Fengli Organization, but Qin Feng did not say anything about it so she did not know what he was up to.

    ¡°These people are just strangers. Although I saved them, favors are for people with a conscience. Everyone is different. Perhaps some of them will be grateful, and some of them might even hate me. After some time, if these people still want to follow me, we can talk about it then!¡±

    There were definitely many people who were grateful to Qin Feng. However, was there really no one amongst them who did not want to change their life as a ve, and even felt proud about being a Dragon-borne underling?

    There would definitely be such people. That was the reason why Qin Feng did what he did to filter out such people.

    ¡°Although these people are quite strong, they have always been in ces like the Dragon-borne continent, I¡¯m afraid that their worldview and mindset are limited. These people can¡¯t be ced in important positions!¡±

    The biggest reason why Qin Feng was short of manpower was that he could not go to the Human Alliance headquarters. Moreover, he had just obtained the spatial rune equipment of the Dragon-borne elites.

    Even if these treasures were exchanged for seven or eight high-tier realms, it would probably be enough.

    However, Qin Feng could not manage all that. It would also be a waste of time.

    ¡°It seems that I can only ask Xue Xingfu if he is willing to go!¡±

    Just as Qin Feng was thinking about this, people started surrounding him. Naturally, it was Long Kong and the other SS-tier ability users.

    Now, all the elects in the entire realm were following Qin Feng¡¯s lead. They did not know what great things Qin Feng had done, but they saw Qin Feng beheading the SSS-tier Dragon-borne.

    Now, the other party had returned safely and had be the uncrowned king of the Blue Star Realm.

 Chapter 1047 - Best Subordinate

    <h4>Chapter 1047: Best Subordinate</h4>

    ¡°Marshal Qin, wee back!¡± Long Kong hurriedly greeted him.

    The others also expressed their concerns as Qin Feng became the center of attention.

    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about the changes Bai Li made. Maybe this is for the best. The Great Rift Era has been going on for two hundred years, and humans haven¡¯t been able to live in peace and prosper. We can see this as having a safe environment.¡±

    Long Kong quickly nodded. ¡°Some of the seniors of the Huaxia Alliance who came from the Great Rift Era do not have your contact information, but they would like to convey their thanks. You¡¯ve made a great contribution to the entire Blue Star Realm. You¡¯re a great hero!¡±

    Qin Feng shook his head. He did not dare to call himself a great hero.

    ¡°I just did what I was supposed to do.¡±

    ¡°Great heroes are acknowledged by those around them, and it is not something they would address themselves as. If you don¡¯t think you are one, it¡¯s fine as long as others do.¡± Li Yuan said from the side, and even his gaze wasplicated.

    Back then, did their Li family not also have a great hero? It was just that after he disappeared, they did not enjoy the top-tier prosperity and honor, and instead they quickly restrained themselves. Fortunately, the humans at that time were very weak. Otherwise, the Li family would have been buried long ago.

    Outside the group of people, there were some S-tier ability users. When they heard these words, they nodded in agreement. In their opinion, even if Qin Feng was not a great hero, he was still a legend that was worthy of being remembered by everyone.

    Amongst them, the Li family¡¯s prince, Li Xiao, was also looking at Qin Feng. From the previous peace contest to the current Dragon-borne ying incident, Li Xiao had already beenpletely convinced. He no longer had the thought ofpeting against Qing Feng. Of course, this kind of thought had now be a joke.

    ¡°Everyone, the overall situation has just been decided. There are still many things that need to be done. I also n to return to the Fengli colony.¡±

    When the others heard that Qin Feng was leaving, although they still wanted to chat a little more, there was indeed something going on in their own territories. In the end, they could only leave regretfully.

    However, before these people left, they looked at the few people from the Dark Coalition. Those few people now looked as if they were waiting to be judged.

    They did not dare to leave, afraid that Qin Feng would kill them with a raise of his hand.

    ¡°You guys should leave too. Our paths are different, and let¡¯s not conspire against each other. I only hope that you restrain your subordinates. Whatever you do, be it kill each other or plunder each other, don¡¯t let me find out that you are bringing problems to any of the colonies.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s words were equivalent to an imperial edict.

    These people hurriedly nodded and did not dare to go against it. From then on, the Dark Coalition and the Human Alliance on the Blue Star Realm had even more distinct identities. The people of the Dark Coalition did not dare to cross the line.

    ***

    Qin Feng returned to Fengli City and immediately found Xue Xingfu.

    Xue Xingfu did not know why Qin Feng was looking for him. However, the incident in Dragon Capital had blown up so much. Even on the other side of the Blue Star Realm, the rift opened by the Dragon-borne powerhouse could be seen, so Xue Xingfu naturally knew everything that had happened.

    The stronger Qin Feng was, the higher the status of the Fengli Organization.

    Now, Xue Xingfu was considering who to poach to make the Fengli Organization stronger.

    However, since those powerhouses hade, how would they obediently follow their management? When it came to earning money, Xue Xingfu felt that no one could beat him. However, with the arrival of the powerhouses, it would surely be easy for them to give instructions as they please on how to run the organization.

    ¡°Brother Xue, why are your capabilities still the same?¡± Qin Feng looked at Xue Xingfu and felt a little helpless.

    Xue Xingfu was still around level C5-tier at the moment. Those who had followed Qin Feng from the very beginning had already reached B-tier after five years. In a few years¡¯ time, these people might even be able to reach S-tier.

    ¡°Hehe, I¡¯ve been busy with thepany¡¯s matters recently.¡± Xue Xingfu¡¯s face turned red. He really could not bear the hardships of cultivation.

    Qin Feng felt helpless. ¡°You like doing business. Yet, what¡¯s the point of earning so much money if you don¡¯t buy resources and cultivate?¡±

    Luxurious clothes and fine food? That was the life civilians wanted to live, not ability users. As long as one became an ability user, the strong ones could have a ce in Dragon Capital, live in the highest-floor manors, and eat the fiercest ultra beasts.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have time, do I?¡± Xue Xingfu¡¯s face was a little bitter. ¡°I want to improve my capabilities too, but there¡¯s no other way. When I¡¯m busy here, there¡¯s endless work. After a project, there¡¯s a new project. How can I have so much time to cultivate?¡±

    Qin Feng shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s because you are just following me. If you¡¯re following someone else, even if you don¡¯t have the time, you have to squeeze out time to cultivate!¡±

    Before Qin Feng¡¯s rebirth, Xue Xingfu was still an A-tier ability user! Regardless of how strong he was, at the very least, his rank was there. Many people did not dare to be arrogant. He only had an A-tier ability user behind him, so if he did not have his own status, it was very easy for others to take full advantage of him.

    However, after Qin Feng changed Xue Xingfu¡¯s fate, Qin Feng¡¯s strength continued to grow. He revealed his powers and was undefeatable. This caused everyone to know Xue Xingfu. After this incident, even an S-tier and SS-tier would have to treat Xue Xingfu with respect.

    At this moment, Qin Feng did not know whether tough or cry. Xue Xingfu was probably the only person who had a decline in strength among all of Qin Feng¡¯s subordinates!

    However, Xue Xingfu obviously did not care about Qin Feng¡¯s words as he said, ¡°Everyone has different aspirations. Strength is strength. A person can¡¯t be judged by strength alone. I can also earn money. This is also my strength. Every time I participate in a project, I want to surpass my current self. Isn¡¯t this also working hard to improve?¡±

    Xue Xingfu was afraid that Qin Feng would think that he waszy. It was not that he did not like cultivating, but he was pursuing another direction.

    ¡°What you said actually makes a lot of sense!¡± Although Qin Feng said so, he was cursing in his heart. However, something clicked in his mind, and he smiled slightly as he said, ¡°However, the Blue Star Realm is still a smallmotion that has happened. I¡¯ll give you an opportunity to go to the Human Alliance¡¯s headquarters to take a look.¡±

    ¡°What headquarters?¡±

    Although Xue Xingfu was a top-tier merchant, his strength was still too low. He had no ess to the information at the highest level.

    Qin Feng had only heard about the Human Alliance¡¯s headquarters when he was still an A-tier ability user.

    Qin Feng then told Xue Xingfu about the Human Alliance¡¯s headquarters, and then told him his objective.

    ¡°But the Human Alliance¡¯s headquarters can only be essed by S-tier ability users.¡±

    ¡°President, you might as well not have said anything about it.¡±

    ¡°No, I have a way to raise you to S-tier in a short amount of time. Do you want to give it a try?¡± Then, Qin Feng told Xue Xingfu about the dimension where time flowed quickly. One year inside was equivalent to one day outside. This meant that even if Xue Xingfu were to use ten years to advance to S-tier, it would only be ten days by the time he came out.

    However, this was equivalent to wasting many years of his life. At the same time, there were endless boring days of cultivation.

    However, when Xue Xingfu heard this, his eyes instantly lit up.

    ¡°President, you have something amazing like that? You should have revealed it earlier! Isn¡¯t it just ten years? If I reach S-tier in this life, let alone ten more years, I want to live another hundred years.¡±

 Chapter 1048 - Visiting Bahamut Once Again

    <h4>Chapter 1048: Visiting Bahamut Once Again</h4>

    ¡°Have you thought it through? Focusing on cultivation is very boring!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Heh, isn¡¯t this also an investment? If I can reach S-tier in ten years, it would only be ten days outside. That¡¯s a great return in my books.¡±

    Moreover, without the interference of other things, perhaps Xue Xingfu could also be more focused.

    With this in mind, Qin Feng agreed to it.

    Xue Xingfu then went back to make some preparations. He was the most valued person under Qin Feng, and his status was even higher than Zhou Hao¡¯s. In addition, he controlled the overall management of the Fengli Organization, and he was already as wealthy as an entire country. Nurturing one S-tier was nothing to him, he could even nurture ten of them.

    Originally, these resources were all reserved for his descendants, but it was not something he should be concerned about right now. He could not possibly rush toplete everything in mind. Now that he had obtained ten years of extra time, Xue Xingfu brought all these resources with him. Then, he entered the dimension where time flowed extremely quickly.

    Qin Feng observed for a while and found that Xue Xingfu was really serious in his cultivation. Moreover, his strength was progressing rapidly. Qin Feng also found the key to this progress¡ªmany of the products Xue Xingfu was using were actually machines developed by Z and Chu Fan. For example, the nutritional cabin that waspletely built using money and resources. All he needed to do was sleep inside the cabin.

    Therefore, Xue Xingfu¡¯s strength would increase while sleeping. His actualbat power would probably be pitifully low.

    However, Qin Feng did not n to let Xue Xingfu be so powerful. If he were to train hard and neglect their business after ten years, that would be equal to Qin Feng lifting a rock and smashing his own feet.

    ¡°If I wait for him toe out and then go to the Human Alliance¡¯s headquarters for the trade, it will take some time. I can¡¯t waste time waiting.¡±

    Qin Feng also wanted to increase his own strength. He could not stay still.

    Z had once said that the Immortals would bring the humans to a unique realm. Otherwise, no matter what, other creatures would not be able to reach the Immortal tier. Qin Feng was also afraid that he would fail to advance. An existence as powerful as the Armored Star Broodmother had exploded and died in the end.

    Although Qin Feng¡¯s strength had always been several times that of other existences at the same level, facing death and the Immortals¡¯ stairway to heaven, he was still a little cautious. He nned to temporarily not increase the size of his internal energy frozen stars.

    Therefore, Qin Feng had given the four realm cores that Bai Li had obtained to her so that she could absorb them. However, she had to stop after reaching SSS9-tier, otherwise, Bai Li would also be in danger.

    ¡®The body of flesh and blood is not that easy to improve, but the dark starglobe can make up for it!¡¯ Qin Feng thought to himself.

    Qin Feng understood in his heart that the physical body was probably the key to bing an Immortal. Whether it was Ahn Ping Prime or Z, they were all changes in life forms.

    However, Qin Feng also knew that in terms ofbat power, a physical body could notpare to internal energy, and neither could internal energypare to abilities.

    Furthermore, in the previous battle, the diameter of the dark starglobe had shrunk by half, which really made him feel ufortable.

    Therefore, there was only one choice before Qin Feng.

    On the same day, Qin Feng handed the secret realm ring to Bai Li. After that, he left Fengli City alone and headed for the Bahamut Realm.

    ***

    With the passage opened by Bai Li, Qin Feng did not need any transit. He reappeared andnded directly on the Bahamut Continent. Not only that, he was also at the foot of the Bahamut Dragon Tail Mountain.

    It happened to be close to noon. The foot of the Bahamut mountain was full of people. Although a spatial passage suddenly appeared and a person dressed in ck had walked out, and he was even covered in dense dark runes, no one paid attention to him.

    The Dark Coalition did not monitor the identities of the people here, and this was the Dark Star so there were too many people with dark runes.

    Qin Feng noticed that the number of Orc Lycans had increased. It was probably rted to the SSS-tier Orc Lycan who came here.

    However, it had been so long since Qin Feng killed the Orc Lycan. The Blood Vendetta Mark had long been erased. These people did not know that Qin Feng had killed Orc Lycans.

    Qin Feng¡¯s current strength was close to the SSS-tier. He did not even need to wait for noon. Just as he was about to leave, a powerful presence came from afar.

    Qin Feng¡¯s perception swept over the other party, but the other party did not notice it at all.

    ¡°Is this the SSS-tier Orc Lycan?¡±

    This Orc Lycan was not very majestic. Perhaps, it had mastered some transformation techniques, so its body was only maintained at three meters tall. However, its thick hair, which looked like the back fur of a werewolf, was golden-ck in color and very dazzling.

    At the same time, this person was one of the few Orc Lycans who had awakened his abilities. His ability was naturally the dark ability.

    It was no wonder that such a person wanted to control the Bahamut continent.

    However, Qin Feng soon realized that there was a slight difference between this ce and his previous deduction.

    That was because when this Orc Lycan arrived, SSS-tier ability users appeared in all directions, even on the other side of Dragon Tail Mountain. For a moment, the auras of elites surrounded them.

    ¡°The Wraith Devil, the Cannibal Tribe, the Dark Feathered Tribe, the Night Corpse Tribe...¡±

    The other three were actually Wisdom Tribes that even Qin Feng could not recognize.

    Originally, Qin Feng thought that after he left, at most, the SSS-tier Orc Lycan woulde to this continent. Then, their tribe would dominate the continent, and the others would be chased away.

    Now, it seemed that when faced with resources, all tribes wanted a share. It was impossible for one tribe to dominate the continent.

    Moreover, Qin Feng had also neglected the attraction of such a high-tier realm.

    With the arrival of a few SSS-tier ability users, noontime had finally arrived. These SSS-tier ability users immediately climbed the mountain at an extremely fast speed.

    Qin Feng naturally did not want to fall too far behind and also followed them to the mountain peak.

    But this time, the attention of all the tribes present was on Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng frowned.

    ¡°Where did this onee from? Doesn¡¯t he know the rules? He¡¯s really not afraid of death!¡±

    ¡°Hehe, he thinks he¡¯s powerful, but he actually dares to go up the mountain now along with the other lords.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s going to court death!¡±

    After everyone said this, Qin Feng also understood. These SSS-tier elites had gone up the mountain ahead of time, which was equivalent to a rule that others could not break. With this, Qin Feng could be considered to have challenged the dignity of an SSS-tier ability user.

    As expected, the one closest to Qin Feng was a Cannibal Shaman. His strength was clearly much stronger than the one Qin Feng had encountered on the Bahamut continent.

    This Cannibal Shaman had not even released his Devil Cherub. With a casual raise of his hand, a ray of ck light descended.

    It was the Finger of Death!

    Qin Feng sneered and simrly raised his hand and pointed with his finger.

    However, it was not the Finger of Death, but an internal force finger aura.

    However, with his terrifying internal force frozen stars that wereparable to a Prime¡¯s energy, the power of his finger was also quite terrifying. It instantly shattered the Finger of Death of the Cannibal Shaman.

    Boom!

    The energy collided in the air and dissipated. The Cannibal Shaman revealed a shocked expression, and he quickly stopped in his tracks.

 Chapter 1049 - Everyone Has Treasures

    <h4>Chapter 1049: Everyone Has Treasures</h4>

    At this moment, not only did the Cannibal Shaman stop, the other SSS-tier powerhouses also stopped and looked at Qin Feng.

    This time, Qin Feng was the center of attention.

    ¡°Heh, looks like his physical body is not bad. He is a good choice as a substitute!¡± The Wraith Devil sneered. In the eyes of these SSS-tier powerhouses, Qin Feng was indeed nothing. However, following them here at this time was like a little rat trying to take a nibble of the cheese.

    It was naturally good to get rid of a little rat in such a convenient manner, so as to save trouble.

    The Wraith Devil opened its mouth wide, and instantly, a distorted ghost face shot out from its mouth. This was an existence formed by consciousness, and it then pounced on Qin Feng.

    This Wraith Devil¡¯s strength was only at the SSS1-tier, but the Wraith Devil was the most difficult to deal with, and no one dared to provoke it.

    If Qin Feng¡¯s power was still the same as before, he would not be afraid of this Wraith Devil at all. However, things were naturally different now. His energy core was only five meters in diameter now, while the SSS-tier¡¯s energy core had a diameter of ten meters. Qin Feng was at a disadvantage.

    It was not wise to use his power to sh with the Wraith Devil, but Qin Feng had too many tricks up his sleeve.

    In the blink of an eye, a saber with a sheath appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s hand. Then, Qin Feng drew his saber out of the sheath. In an instant, a powerful force spread out.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was drawn out of the sheath.

    ¡°Cut!¡±

    As he injected his internal energy into it, the spirits roared, and several characteristics of the Verdant Emperor Saber were activated, increasing the power of this ordinary saber.

    Pfft!

    With just one saber attack, the ghost face that had pounced in front of him and wanted to swallow Qin Feng dissipated.

    The SSS-tier Wraith Devil¡¯s face instantly turned pale.

    Qin Feng¡¯s method was too straightforward, cutting off the consciousness released by the Wraith Devil.

    The Cannibal Shaman from before had only used up some of his energy, whereas the SSS-tier Wraith Devil was injured.

    This scene had truly exceeded the expectations of all the humans and half-humans present. The sounds of discussion and ridicule from before had all quieted down, and the scene waspletely silent.

    They were all looking at Qin Feng, wondering if the Wraith Devil would go on a killing spree.

    However, to their surprise, the Wraith Devil did not make a move.

    When another SSS-tier elite saw all this, his cold voice sounded out as well.

    ¡°Looks like he¡¯s a capable one. You use a knife, I¡¯ll use a sword. Let me test out that knife of yours. If you seed, you may do as you wish!¡± This powerhouse was an existence that Qin Feng did not recognize.

    However, following this person¡¯s proposition, all the S-tier and a few SS-tier ability users behind all cried out in surprise.

    ¡°The Lord of the Stone Heart Tribe is about to make his move.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯ll definitely die if so!¡±

    ¡°However, I didn¡¯t expect that he would be able to survive the attacks of three elites and actually enter this ce. Is this even considered following the rules?¡±

    ¡°Rules? What kind of a joke is this? My Lord didn¡¯t say that he would bring people along!¡±

    These discussions quickly came to an end because the Stone Heart Tribe member had already made a move.

    The other party¡¯s strength was indeed strong, but what was even stronger was the sword in his hand.

    This was a sword that had been tempered for countless years. It was iparably heavy and had countless traces on it, but they were all very light ones. It did not seem to be damaged, but rather, it looked like a medal.

    The Stone Heart Tribesmen were born with a stone heart. They had sharp senses toward ores, and they would absorb countless ores. Eventually, the ores were stored in their hearts, brewing stronger ores, and then continuously inserting them into their weapons.

    Therefore, the members of the Stone Heart Tribe might not be strong, but their swords were definitely the strongest.

    Qin Feng did not understand this elite, but he knew the aura of the other party¡¯s sword. This was probably an SS-tier super god weapon, the same grade as the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The other party¡¯s attack clearly showed that he was extremely confident in his weapon.

    Of course, Qin Feng was more confident in the Verdant Emperor Saber. However, there were times when one could easily win, so why should one care about the means to achieving the end?

    Thus, without any hesitation, Qin Feng raised the Verdant Emperor Saber as well. In the next moment, internal energy was continuously infused into the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The power of the Stone Heart Tribesman was only at SSS3-tier, and his internal energy star had a diameter of thirty meters at most. However, it was impossible for him to release all of his internal energy when executing a move. At most, he could only release 1% of his internal energy. Otherwise, he would be powerless in the future.

    In such a state, Qin Feng used one-tenth of the energy of a frozen star and injected it into the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Whoom!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber shone brightly as countless characteristics burst forth.

    Ten-thousand-fold gravity, thousand-fold superposition, zing mes, space shattering..

    In an instant, the Verdant Emperor Saber and the sword shed. That Stone Heart Tribesman only felt a great forceing from his hand. Following that, the energy within the heavy sword was quickly disintegrated.

    ¡°Ah!¡± The Stone Heart Tribesman¡¯s hand trembled, and he could barely hold on to the heavy sword in his hand. Instead, he staggered several hundred meters backward before he managed to disintegrate this force.

    For a moment, the Stone Heart Tribesman¡¯s face turned ck.

    That was who the Stone Heart Tribesman was. If it were any other person, a great battle might have been unavoidable. However, the Stone Heart Tribesman was a person of integrity, and he would not go back on his words. He had just said those words. If he were to break the deal now, would that not be equivalent to smashing his own foot?

    ¡°Hmph!¡± The Stone Heart Tribesman snorted coldly. He was thinking that there was no harm in the other party following them up to the peak. If he was not an SSS-tier, it would be impossible for him to step into the center of the realm and snatch resources from them.

    However, the Stone Heart Tribesman had lost face because of the SS-tier ability user. He turned around and left, ignoring Qin Feng.

    The other SSS-tier elites looked at Qin Feng with deep gazes. It was as if they had kept a mental note of this guy. After that, they ignored Qin Feng and continued to climb forward.

    Seeing that no one was bothering him anymore, Qin Feng also climbed up. His speed was actually not slower than those SSS-tier elites. Very quickly, he saw that huge hole, and he stepped into it.

    The Dragonspine Valley had also undergone some changes. Under the probing of Qin Feng¡¯s perception, he felt that it seemed to have shrunk a littlepared to before, and the danger level was also higher.

    However, he did not want to pay attention to these things for now. Using his dark aura as a shield, he walked toward the interiors. He distanced himself from the other SSS-tier ability users to prevent these people from finding trouble.

    However, these people all had the same destination. Hence, half a dayter, Qin Feng met these people again.

    At this moment, the sound of water sshing could be heard. It was the arrival of the dark tide.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body waspletely made up of the Sacred Dark Stones. Even though the others were very strong, they were all blinded by the Sacred Dark Stones.

    At this moment, the first person started moving. The Night Corpse Tribe raised his hand and threw out a pitch-ck coffin. However, this coffin did not have a lid. The Night Corpse Tribe¡¯s SSS-tier stepped into it. Then, a semi-circr light barrier appeared above the pitch-ck coffin, covering the entrance of the coffin.

    Then, the coffinnded on the ck stream and went against the current.

    It was actually a small-sized treasure like an ice boat that could only carry one person.

    At this moment, the others also took out their various treasures andnded on the dark tide.

 Chapter 1050 - The Hand in the Dark

    <h4>Chapter 1050: The Hand in the Dark</h4>

    At this moment, Qin Feng also came to a sudden realization.

    ¡°For SSS-tier ability users, they already have the ability to absorb realm cores. However, they are unable to pry open the ground because they don¡¯t have the assistance of spatial beasts. However, there is actually a passageway in the Bahamut continent. This allows them to pass through unimpeded. No wonder these people are all here to split the resources!¡±

    Qin Feng, on the other hand, did not care. Perhaps without Bai Li, Qin Feng would not have been able to enter the other realms. However, Qin Feng had entered the Bahamut continent before, so he naturally could enter now.

    The stream rushed forward, and these people went against the current. Very quickly, they arrived at a tall mountain that Qin Feng had encountered before.

    Behind this tall mountain was the true interior of the realm core.

    The ground was piled up with Sacred Dark Stones, and on the hillside, there were terrifying dark spirit shadow monsters with dense auras.

    These monsters, in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes back then, were extremely terrifying existences.

    In less than a year¡¯s time, looking at it now, these giant beasts had all be prey that Qin Feng could kill at will.

    In the eyes of those SSS-tier ability users, these strange beasts were clearly very difficult to deal with. These people were different from Qin Feng. Qin Feng had used the dark stones to make a set of battle uniform, but those people had used treasures that could only be made by Immortals. After stepping into the core, they were unable to hide their auras. They were even attacked, unable to fight back.

    ¡°Who¡¯s going first this time?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s your turn, right?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll go, I¡¯ll go. But it¡¯s agreed that if there¡¯s no one to rece meter, you won¡¯t be able to live even if I die!¡±

    ¡°Alright, I got it. It¡¯s not the first time we¡¯ve worked together. Hurry up and go in!¡±

    After these people discussed for a while, the SSS-tier Wraith Devil took the lead as he controlled arge disc and flew past them.

    This forced entry immediately incited the attacks of the dark spirit shadows.

    These dark spirt shadows grew here. They were the remnants of Bahamut¡¯s will. Naturally, they did not want their core to be swallowed by others.

    The appearance of these SSS-tier powerhouses from different tribes was equivalent to entering the territory of wild beasts. These shadows began to attack visciously.

    Bang Bang Bang!

    The giant disc outside the Wraith Devil started to shake. The Wraith Devil¡¯s face turned dark. Then, it suddenly threw something outside.

    As soon as this creature appeared, it immediately expanded rapidly. The aura of fresh blood was very dense, and it was also very powerful.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    A miserable cry sounded. Following that, the human figure turned into a skeleton, and its body started melting.

    It was a human.

    The human was still very strong, at least at SS-tier. However, he could not even resist the dark tide, what more those giant beasts.

    However, the screams, pain, and struggle were enough to attract those dark spirit shadows.

    However, there were still one or two dark spirit shadows blocking the Wraith Devil. The Wraith Devil did the same thing again, throwing out living creatures one by one.

    Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and sneered. He sneaked into the stream at an extremely fast speed.

    He approached the Wraith Devil silently. The Wraith Devil did not notice him at all, and the others did not as well.

    The Wraith Devil¡¯s giant disc was on top of Qin Feng¡¯s head at a close distance. Qin Feng had never seen this thing before. He did not know what material it was made of or what ability it was made from.

    Qin Feng raised his palm and poured his internal energy into it. Immediately, a powerful energy was injected into Qin Feng¡¯s palm. Following that, Qin Feng raised his hand and pressed it on therge disc.

    Dong!

    With a muffled groan, the protective shield on therge disc immediately flickered.

    One had to know that although this kind of treasure could resist the invasion of the liquefied energy in the realm core, its true defensive power was not high. Qin Feng had also used a point to break through the surface. This palm strike had terrifying power. The bottom of therge disc under the Wraith Devil¡¯s feet instantly started cracking.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The Wraith Devil instantly turned pale with fear on his face. Looking at the cracks under his feet, he only felt a surge of cold air, and he was raging deep down.

    ¡°You guys tricked me!¡± The Wraith Devil¡¯s eyes were even more bloodshot. This was clearly his shuttle being attacked.

    He subconsciously locked onto the people behind him. However, he knew that now was not the time to fight, but to flee.

    Otherwise, even he, an SSS-tier ability user, would die in the core area of Bahamut which was still in its prime.

    The Wraith Devil quickly retreated. The others did not understand why, and were very surprised as to why he was escaping. Could it be that there was a terrifying existence ahead?

    However, it was not their first time here. No matter how strong they were, what kind of creature could appear? For a moment, they thought that the Wraith Devil was plotting something, and so they stopped him.

    This time, it was equivalent to poking a ho¡¯s nest.

    ¡°Get out of the way, or I will perish together with all of you!¡±

    ¡°What are you doing? If you leave now, you are basically causing problems.¡±

    ¡°It was you who made the first move!¡±

    At that moment, they were not able to clear the air. All of them became riled up, and the situation was chaotic.

    Only Qin Feng sneered and climbed up the mountain, then he stepped into the dark sea.

    Avoiding the perception of others, Qin Feng began to speed up again. He sped along the direction of the dark sea.

    Back then, Qin Feng could not even control his own body. But now, the energy he was releasing was internal energy. He could even use Rampage Influx in the dark sea. Naturally, his speed was fast.

    In less than an hour, he finally arrived at the realm core, where he once spent seven days and nights.

    This was still a huge. In the past year, those SSS-tier elites should havee frequently. However, the amount of dark stones that could be taken away was very small, so the size of this did not change much.

    However, it was different now.

    Because Qin Feng hade.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion, Repulsive Force!¡±

    A powerful airflow erupted and instantly smacked onto the dark starglobe.

    Boom!

    The dark starglobe trembled, and then the Sacred Dark Stones at the edges were scattered.

    ¡°Absorption Ability!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was like arge hand, grabbing all the Sacred Dark Stones in his hand and fusing them into the center of his brows.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    Qin Feng relied on the nine frozen stars in his body, so he directly used violent methods to smack the huge realm core in front of him.

    Under the impact of the energy, the dark starglobe was continuously being disintegrated as Sacred Dark Stones crumbled from it. Qin Feng greedily absorbed the Sacred Dark Stones that were falling from it.

    Crack!

    A ce in the core of the Bahamut realm instantly cracked, as if the earth had cracked. Then, as if the continent had fallen off, a huge te copsed.

    Qin Feng did not hold back at all. He swallowed, absorbed, and integrated this te into his consciousness cosmos.

    In this ce, the dark starglobe belonging to Qin Feng was continuously increasing. The diameter of the star could be seen expanding with the naked eye.

    The Sacred Dark Stones exploded into runes and were continuously integrated into Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness crystal core.

    From a diameter of five meters, it reached six meters, seven meters... ten meters!

    Qin Feng¡¯s ability had finally returned to its peak.

    Not only that, the devouring continued. Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness core had already started to exceed ten meters in diameter, rushing toward an evenrger volume.

 Chapter 1051 - Increase in Power Again

    <h4>Chapter 1051: Increase in Power Again</h4>

    Qin Feng continued to absorb the hellstones, and the giant starglobe in his body began to grow.

    The core of the Bahamut realm was still as huge as before. Qin Feng had only scratched the surface of it. After all, it was an unprecedentedly huge realm core, with a diameter of nine hundred meters.

    As he continued to plunder, Qin Feng¡¯s energy core grewrger andrger. As the energy core grewrger, the Absorption Ability became stronger and stronger.

    A day had passed, and Qin Feng¡¯s dark starglobe had already reached a diameter of more than twenty meters.

    At this moment, some unique light spots floated over from the dark sea. Qin Feng could feel that other creatures had been added to the pure dark liquid.

    It was those SSS-tier ability users from before.

    Qin Feng continued to pound on the realm core of Bahamut. The dark sea naturally fluctuated, and the airflow was even greater. As for the Wraith Devil from before, he had already been seriously injured and was forced to withdraw from this exploration.

    Due to the Wraith Devil going against him, everyone was more or less injured. As a result, entering the¡¯s interior was even more difficult. After wandering for a day, the energy in their bodies had almost been exhausted. Only then did they reach the center of Bahamut¡¯s realm core.

    They would not stay for too long. The pressure here was too strong, and it consumed a lot of their shuttles¡¯ energy. Every time, they would leave with some gains.

    ¡°Why do I feel that the realm core has be slightly smaller?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s starglobe with a diameter of twenty meters could not bepared to the in Bahamut with a diameter of nine hundred meters. It was nothing at all. However, the consciousness of these ability users was too strong. With just a slight scan, they could see the situation.

    However, they did not expect this to be man-made.

    ¡°The Bahamut continent is evolving. The realm core will also shrink bit by bit. This is very normal. Don¡¯t be bothered by that. Spread out and get to it!¡± The Cannibal Shaman said.

    These powerful people coulde together, but they definitely would not share the spoils of war equally. Therefore, they spread out and went to different ces to plunder the Sacred Dark Stones.

    The Cannibal Shaman also went to one ce. At this moment, an explosion sounded. Even on the shuttle, one could hear the sound. It was clear how terrifying this power was!

    ¡°Who is it?¡± The Cannibal Shaman was shocked. Everyone present was familiar with one another. However, these people who were so powerful, were also rather unreasonable.

    At this moment, the Cannibal Shaman saw a series of Sacred Dark Stones falling from the. The big ones were actually a meter in diameter. His eyes immediately widened.

    ¡°Haha. Who was the one whounched the attack? Since this is my spot, I¡¯ll not hold back!¡±

    The Cannibal Shaman¡¯s consciousness reached out of the ship and grabbed at the Sacred Dark Stones.

    But soon, the Cannibal Shaman realized that though his consciousness was wrapped around the Sacred Dark Stones, they did not react at all. Instead, the Cannibal Shaman¡¯s consciousness was hindered, causing his expression to change.

    It was as if a heavy object was about to fall to the ground, and when someone wanted to catch it, his wrist was dislocated instead.

    The Cannibal Shaman watched as the Sacred Dark Stones fell two hundred meters away from him and then disappeared. At that moment, the Cannibal Shaman saw a figure covered in Sacred Dark Stones standing in the tide of darkness.

    In that moment, the Cannibal Shaman widened his eyes.

    ¡°There¡¯s actually someone here!¡±

    The Cannibal Shaman felt a chill in his heart. After all, he had not seen this person before.

    Moreover, upon closer inspection, he realized that it was actually a human.

    Not only that, if he had not seen it with his own two eyes, the Cannibal Shaman¡¯s senses would not have been able to detect it. Either that, or the other party was stronger than him, or it was the other party¡¯s dark core that had already far exceeded the detection range of the Cannibal Shaman¡¯s consciousness.

    In short, no matter what it was, it was a very terrifying thing.

    At this moment, the Cannibal Shaman watched helplessly as Qin Feng floated in the dark tide. Then, the space between his brows opened up, and the surrounding water and Sacred Dark Stones moved into the space between his brows.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness swelled up, and he hadpletely advanced.

    SS1-tier.

    In a day¡¯s time, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness had increased by one tier.

    After all, this time, it was different from before. Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy was very strong now, and it was enough to withstand the dark seawater of the Bahamut realm. Unlikest time, when he had to drift along the seawater.

    Qin Feng absorbed the energy in the surrounding seawater to increase his consciousness. Simrly, he was also continuously absorbing the Sacred Dark Stones to expand his dark starglobe.

    ¡°Dragon m!¡±

    Qin Feng raised his hand and used the martial art he had learned when he was still weak. However, Qin Feng, who had nine times the internal energy of a peak SSS9-tier, used a terrifying Dragon m.

    Boom!

    The core of the Bahamut realm started to quake again. A hole was punched into the surface, and the Sacred Dark Stones were sent flying.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness went over again and grabbed those Sacred Dark Stones.

    It was repeated at an extremely fast speed.

    The Cannibal Shaman, who was watching from the side, was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a violent human tearing apart the core of a realm with his bare hands. Absorbing the ability core was as easy as drinking cold water.

    However, at this moment, he also had a thought. After Qin Feng took away most of the Sacred Dark Stones, he carefully stretched out his consciousness and took away some small broken stones.

    Qin Feng, who was floating in the sea, nced at the Cannibal Shaman. However, he did not make a move and continued to attack the realm core.

    However, by doing so, themotion it stirred up was too great. Some SSS-tier ability users came over curiously and saw Qin Feng sweeping up arge piece of Sacred Dark Stone and bringing it back.

    In Qin Feng¡¯s location, a portion of the realm core had already endured his attacks and formed a deep pit.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Who are you?¡± The Dark Coalition¡¯s SSS-tier ability user roared.

    This SSS-tier was the top-tier elite among the Orc Lycans.

    Qin Feng did not pay any attention to the other party. Just as he was about to pull the Sacred Dark Stone into the center of his brows, the Orc Lycan instantly became anxious. This piece of Sacred Dark Stone in front of him represented a huge fortune.

    He also wanted to have it, but now that it was in Qin Feng¡¯s hands, there was only one way, and that was to snatch it.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    This SSS-tier Orc Lycan brought his shuttle over.

    ¡°Are you here to court death?¡± Qin Feng looked at the SSS-tier Orc Lycan and raised his hand without hesitation.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng poured in his internal energy and struck the shuttle.

    At this moment, the Orc Lycan on the shuttle also raised his sharp ws and wed viciously at Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Buzz!

    Qin Feng instantly activated his internal energy shield. This energy shield expanded to an area of more than ten meters and was three meters thick.

    This was simply terrifying.

    Creak Creak Creak...

    The strongest ws of the Orc Lycan actually produced a metallic sound when they rubbed against the inner energy shield.

 Chapter 1052 - Rapid Advancement

    <h4>Chapter 1052: Rapid Advancement</h4>

    The Orc Lycan was totally regretting it.

    He should not havee over. He should not have been greedy. He knew that he had gotten himself into trouble.

    However, this person clearly did not intend to let go of the person who had provoked him.

    Qin Feng punched down again. Powerful internal force crashed into the shuttle¡¯s protective shield, instantly shattering it.

    The Orc Lycan¡¯s entire body also burst forth with energy, blocking the invasion of the surrounding dark seawater.

    He ran frantically in the direction of the Cannibal Shaman, hoping that the other party could save him!

    But the Cannibal Shaman had just seen how terrifying Qin Feng was, so he did not dare to provoke him. He urged the shuttle to turn around, and he fled.

    When the Orc Lycan saw this, how could he not understand? He gritted his teeth and took out something. He injected energy into his body, instantly isting himself in another space.

    This was a spatial secret treasure, something that could save his life. When the Orc Lycan activates this secret treasure, he could temporarily ce himself in another space.

    This method seemed very stupid, but it was very useful in this ce. This was because this space repelled the dark seawater. As the runes could not enter, the Orc Lycan could take out a spatial waymark or directly tear open the void and leave this ce.

    However, before the Orc Lycan could make a move, a sharp de pierced through the space and instantly pierced through the Orc Lycan¡¯s heart.

    ¡°Ugh...¡±the powerful SSS-tier Orc Lycan widened his eyes and looked in front of him unwillingly. The ce was still covered in silver light. It was a unique space within his secret treasure.

    However, where did this dee from?

    However, before he could think clearly, this saber took advantage of the momentum and shed upward. Without any obstruction, it instantly chopped off his head.

    Boom!

    The Orc Lycan¡¯s body exploded, and the space naturally copsed. Qin Feng withdrew the Verdant Emperor Saber. Asteroid Assimtion absorbed all the energy, replenishing his previous consumption.

    ¡°Using spatial techniques in front of me? Heh...¡±although Qin Deng did not know spatial runes, after spending so much time with Bai Li, his understanding of spatial runes was quite strong. Moreover, the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand had fused with the Void Locust Kaiser¡¯s crystal core, so it was very easy for him to destroy the space.

    This Orc Lycan had waltzed himself to his death.

    Qin Feng devoured the other party¡¯s physical strength and energy, then he continued to excavate the Sacred Dark Stones. At this time, although the other ability users¡¯ consciousness could not probe too far, they all knew what was happening here.

    ¡°Who is this person? Is this still a human? It¡¯spletely different from what I saw.¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s too strong, and the speed of his absorption is too fast. He is basically absorbing the Sacred Dark Stones. If this continues on, even the core of the Bahamut realm won¡¯t be able to withstand it!¡±

    ¡°So what? You¡¯re going to kill him?¡±

    This time, these ability users did not speak anymore. Qin Feng¡¯s strength was phenomenal. If they tried to kill him, it would be equivalent to sending themselves to their deaths.

    Thus, these people tacitly gathered on the other side of the core of the Bahamut realm to collect the Sacred Dark Stone. The remaining half was left to Qin Feng.

    In fact, at this moment, they also felt that today¡¯s trip was very strange. When they came, there were eight of them. Now, one was seriously injured and one had died. The remaining six were also terrified. They were all SSS-tier ability users. They might not even be so cautious when encountering an Immortal.

    This situation continued for a full three days. These ability users could not hold on any longer. They did not have that much energy, so they could not support the small-sized shuttle all the time. Thus, they nned to leave.

    However, before they left, these people all looked in the direction of Qin Feng. Only now did they realize that, unknowingly, this enormous dark had already be oval-shaped.

    Qin Feng had swallowed this realm core too ruthlessly.

    However, it was also because of this that these people did not dare to provoke Qin Feng and left one after another.

    Qin Feng also did not stop them. Now was not the time to care about these people.

    After these people left, Qin Feng was even more able to rx his limbs.

    As the dark starglobe becamerger, the Absorption Ability became stronger and stronger. Now, as long as Qin Feng struck down the flourishing world of darkness, he did not even need the guidance of his consciousness. Those Sacred Dark Stones flew in front of Qin Feng and entered the center of his brows.

    Not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was also rising.

    This was the territory of an Immortal. There was pure energy that could kill people. Qin Feng was continuously absorbing such energy. Naturally, his consciousness became stronger and stronger. It was almost one tier advancement a day.

    Half a monthter.

    In the dark sea, nine SSS-tier ability users brought small shuttles that could only be used by one person and entered the center of Bahamut.

    These people were all from the Dark Coalition, and they were also the powerhouses who had left thest time.

    Now, there were two more people in the crowd, and both of them were humans.

    ¡°Don¡¯t let me see that damned human, I¡¯ll definitely kill him!¡± The Wraith Devil¡¯s consciousness was extremely furious, and it was practically roaring.

    When the Cannibal Shaman heard the Wraith Devil¡¯s words, he cursed in his heart, he then retorted, ¡°That¡¯s impossible. It¡¯s been half a month, he couldn¡¯t have held on for so long. He might have left long ago. It¡¯s just that I don¡¯t know how many Sacred Dark Stones he had taken. Thinking about it makes me really envious!¡±

    The others were naturally envious as well. They were even thinking about whether they should join forces to kill this person first.

    However, no one had raised this suggestion yet.

    ¡°Eh? Isn¡¯t this a top-tier realm? Why is the energy inside so peaceful? It doesn¡¯t have much lethality,¡± one of the humans said.

    ¡°Impossible. Back then, that stupid Orc Lycan was unable to escape and was killed.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m not lying to you. Take a look at your own consumption. Isn¡¯t it a little less than usual?¡±

    That person also looked at his own shuttle. At this moment, he also discovered that the energy here had weakened quite a bit.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. This is a good thing!¡±

    These two humans were very happy, but the others felt uneasy.

    And as these people approached the realm core, this feeling became even more intense.

    At this moment, a terrifying aura came from the front.

    The hearts of these SSS-tier elites trembled.

    Up ahead, the core of the Bahamut realm had shrunk by a small circle, and its diameter had decreased by at least twenty to thirty meters.

    And in front of the core of the Bahamut realm, there was another man. Looking over, his aura was terrifying, and a dark starglobe had appeared beneath his feet.

    It had a diameter of a full one hundred meters.

    ¡°An Immortal?¡±

    Everyone had this question in their hearts. Could it be that the person in front of them had actually broken through and became an Immortal here?

    However, what was even stranger was that the consciousness that the other party was revealing was the aura of someone who had just advanced to the SSS-tier.

    Could a person who had just advanced have an energy core with a diameter of a hundred meters? This was what they could not figure out.

    However, such was reality.

    Stepping on the dark starglobe, Qin Feng hesitated whether he should continue to absorb it.

    The Absorption Ability was unprecedentedly powerful. His instinct even told Qin Feng that if he were to swallow this dark starglobe, he would obtain an iparably immense power.

    However, Qin Feng was hesitating!

 Chapter 1053 - Destruction of the Bahamut Realm

    <h4>Chapter 1053: Destruction of the Bahamut Realm</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°Before the Great Rift, there were many legends of ultra beasts on Earth. The Four Great Sacred Beasts, Ancient Vicious Beasts, and so on. Now that countless realms are adjacent to each other, those legends are often actual tribes.¡±

    ¡°One of the ultra beasts is called Taotie. It devours the world and is omnipotent. In the end, it devours itself.¡±

    ¡°If there is greed in the heart, it will seek its own destruction, just like the Armored Star Broodmother!¡±

    With this thought in mind, Qin Feng did not intend to continue. The dark starglobe under his feet also shrank and entered his consciousness realm.

    However, looking at the Bahamut realm core that was still more than eight hundred meters in diameter, Qin Feng smiled slightly.

    ¡°I can not devour it, but this realm core must be useful. I might as well take it!¡±

    With this thought in mind, Qin Feng raised his hand and took out the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    In the dark sea tide, the characteristics of the Verdant Emperor Saber were particrly obvious. The sea tide had been cut into a spatial rift, and the mes were zing with arge number of bubbles. There were also fluctuations that were continuously spread out due to the vibrations.

    Following that, Qin Feng injected internal energy into the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    A frozen star¡¯s internal energy was fused into the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    A huge ultra beast spirit appeared on the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The spirit of the Armored Star Broodmother was activated once more.

    Every time such a terrifying beast was activated, it would require a huge amount of internal energy. If the Verdant Emperor Saber were to fall into someone else¡¯s hands, if the person did not have an Immortal¡¯s power, there was no way the person would be able to use its strongest technique.

    Only in Qin Feng¡¯s hands could it unleash its terrifying might.

    ¡°Immortal Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    This move could no longer be called a Thousand Spirit Chain Rend because what Qin Feng had activated was only the Armored Star Broodmother¡¯s spirit.

    In the next moment, this spirit that had almost reached the level of an Immortal charged toward the core of the Bahamut realm, and with a loud bang, it exploded.

    The people on the shuttles in the distance widened their eyes when they saw that one-third of the massive realm core had actually been cut off.

    But soon after, these people were sent flying by the huge waves of the dark tide and could no longer see what was in front of them.

    In the middle of the tide, Qin Feng stepped forward and put the one-third of the realm core into his spatial rune equipment. Then, he shed down again.

    Another one-third of the core was cut down.

    In front of him, there was only a ck pancake-like existence left in the core of the realm.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    Qin Feng shed down again. This time, he cut the ck pancake into two. The center of the ck pancake was cut down, which meant that the core of the realm was broken.

    In an instant, the surrounding dark tide lost the suction force of the realm core and began to gush out. Thend and mountains on the Bahamut continent began to shake. ck volcanoes erupted and spewed out dense energy.

    At first, the people on the realm did not pay much attention to it. However, the people in the distant colony in space saw that the huge dragon-tailed mountain was beginning to copse.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on? The realm is beginning to copse!¡±

    ¡°Look, the surrounding stars are no longer falling toward the Bahamut realm.¡±

    ¡°Could it be that the SSS-tier has swallowed the realm? It must be. Damn it, why don¡¯t I have such strength?¡±

    These SSS-tier ability users were all extremely jealous.

    However, those SSS-tier experts felt bitter deep down.

    After they were pushed away by the dark tide, they discovered that the mountains and the earth was shaking. The Dragonspine Valley was beginning to copse. These people could only quickly flee. There was no other way.

    At the same time, the image of Qin Feng shing down a realm core appeared in their hearts.

    ¡°He¡¯s too powerful.¡±

    ¡°This person is a human. Do you two know him?¡± The Cannibal Shaman asked the two humans.

    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen him before, but could it be that he hasn¡¯t evolved into an Immortal? I must tell Manha Prime about this. Perhaps he would be interested!¡±

    ¡°Damn it. The Bahamut realm is so rich in resources, but it¡¯s destroyed just like that. I can¡¯t ept this!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s why we have to make him bleed even more. The resources of this realm were ours to begin with. We can¡¯t let him swallow them!¡±

    ¡°Pay attention to him in the future!¡±

    However, these SSS-tiers did not expect that Qin Feng was not a member of the Dark Coalition.

    At this moment, after Qin Feng swallowed the core of the Bahamut realm, he also used the same method as the Orc Lycan to iste space. After that, he activated the spatial beacon and returned to Fengli City.

    As for the Bahamut realm, it was considered to havepletely copsed. From now on, this piece of starry sky would also be silent and abandoned in an uninhabited corner.

    ***

    Inside Fengli City.

    Xue Xingfu had already left the secret realm for three days. When he heard that Qin Feng had returned, he immediately went to wee him.

    ¡°Haha, President, You¡¯re here. I Can¡¯t wait to go to the Human Alliance,¡± Xue Xingfu said. His strength was already at S-tier, and he was just waiting to show off his strength.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll give you the things. Do the necessary calctions.¡± Qin Feng thought for a moment before he continued, ¡°The people in the Human Alliance¡¯s headquarters are all above S-tier. Your strength is not good enough, so don¡¯t go too far. Do what you can. Buy some internal energys, life force items, and another goal...¡±

    Qin Feng felt that this goal was very difficult for Xue Xingfu to achieve, but trying hard was better than doing nothing.

    ¡°President, just say it. I believe that as long as it is something that can be solved with money, it would not be a problem.¡±

    Qin Feng smiled. Thinking about it, it made sense. What if Xue Xingfu really seeded?

    ¡°Go and find out how to be an Immortal. It is said that to be an Immortal, one needs to go to a certain ce. Where exactly is this ce? What is the realm beacon?¡±

    ¡°Immortal?¡±Xue Xingfu was also shocked. This was news that he had never heard of before.

    It was not that he did not know about Immortals, but he did not know that to be an Immortal, one needed to go to another ce.

    ¡°Alright, leave it to me. Information is also valuable. I should be able to buy this kind of information!¡± It was just that it would cost a lot of money.

    However, if this money could be exchanged for Qin Feng bing an Immortal, the benefits would be extremely terrifying.

    Therefore, Xue Xingfu treated this matter as an extremely important matter to do.

    Following that, Qin Feng handed over all the spatial rune equipment obtained from the Dragon-borne realm to Xue Xingfu to handle.

    With all these items, they should be able to buy dozens of inferior realms.

    ¡°My internal force frozen stars and the dark starglobe have already reached the required standard. The only obstacle to bing an Immortal is the strength of my physical body. But to strengthen my physical body, only the strength of the flesh and blood can do it.¡±

    ¡°Maybe I can find an existence like the broodmother.¡±

    After all, an Armored Star Broodmother had allowed Qin Feng to advance from S7-tier to SS-tier. Such creatures indeed had a huge aura of life.

    However, such creatures were not easy to find.

    However, there were records of these creatures in the Dark Coalition. After all, all creatures existed in a life of invasions and being invaded. The people of the Dark Coalition were also spying on the existence of other realms. These people were like locusts, ughtering regardless of the consequences.

    This made Qin Feng have a new idea.

 Chapter 1054 - Eternal Starry Sea

    <h4>Chapter 1054: Eternal Starry Sea</h4>

    Dark Floating City.

    This was a realm where there was an explosion of information. At every moment, countless realms were transmitting information.

    In a small tavern, a group of four people sat at a table. Two of them were Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    The other two people were Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai, whom Qin Feng had used soul control on.

    The two of them had respectful expressions, and even emotions that went beyond the binding of the contract.

    After all, Qin Feng had killed the SSS-tier Dragon-borne, and with his strength he was already considered the number one person in the Blue Star Realm.

    ¡°ck Alp Overlord, this information might be of some use to you.¡±

    The four of them were looking at the information on theirmunicators. Qin Feng and Bai Li were trying to find out more about the Dark Coalition. Although some of the missions and information that were released seemed good, there were many traps inside.

    At this time, Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai were of use. After all, they had been in the Dark Coalition for a long time. With Earth¡¯s resources and their strength, they were still alive after having lived for so long. They were old and cunning people.

    Qin Feng nced at the news that Voodoo Lord had mentioned.

    ¡°Eternal Starry Sea, look for information on the Giant Star Turtle Immortal, and hand it over to the Immortal?¡± Qin Feng did not see how this mission was better than his mission, but Voodoo Lord definitely had his reasons for saying so.

    As expected, Voodoo God said, ¡°Overlord, you wish to strengthen your physical strength. Turtle-type ultra beasts are exactly like this. If you encounter a that was once an Immortal, and if it contains a shocking bloodline aura, the Giant Star Turtle Immortal is an existence the size of a. There are countless giant star turtles on it, and beast deities are everywhere. You can go andpletely absorb them.¡±

    ¡°In fact, when an Immortal goes and kills the Giant Star Turtle, there might be some materials left behind. Even if it¡¯s just a little, it can be infinitely useful.¡±

    From this point of view, many ability users liked it very much. They had always lived under the protection of an Immortal. An Immortal ate meat while they drank soup.

    ¡°Is that so!¡±

    Qin Feng currently did not have the strength to kill an Immortal. After all, life forms were different. Even if his consciousness and internal strength had already reached the standard of an Immortal, there were also strong and weak Immortals. Right now, Qin Feng did not know the difference between the strong and weak.

    ¡°Yes, but this mission is also very dangerous.¡±

    Qin Feng had already thought of the that, but he did not say anything. He let Voodoo Lord continue.

    ¡°For this mission, those who go can inform the Immortals, but the Immortals might note immediately. The Giant Star Turtle Immortal is the size of a. It would be unimaginably huge. Others will definitely discover it.¡±

    Shao Tai had never had the chance to show off, at this moment, he hurriedly interjected, ¡°The so-called danger is also here. If you are discovered by others, that person can kill you and report to the Immortal. Moreover, when the Immortales, kills the Giant Star Turtle, then the rest willpete for the spoils of war together.¡±

    ¡°The rules of the Dark Coalition are kind of cruel!¡± Bai Li said.

    After all, in the Human Alliance, there was a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. However, in this ce, those who put in effort would definitely not earn as much as those who were ruthless.

    Since hard work did not necessarily earn much, as long as one killed others, they would be able to obtain something. Hence, killing became more and more prevalent.

    This was the cruel and harsh Dark Coalition.

    There was no need for any reason, it was just all about killing.

    However, to the current Qin Feng, as long as there was no conflict between him and the Immortals, and they did not attack him, how could the other members of the Dark Coalition be Qin Feng¡¯s match?

    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave this mission as an option. We¡¯ll see what else we can do.¡±

    The news was constantly being updated, and Qin Feng did not want to make a hasty decision.

    It was just that most of the subsequent missions were not suitable for Qin Feng. What he needed was to fight, and he needed a ce where arge number of ultra beasts were located. From the looks of it, hunting the Giant Star Turtle was indeed the first choice.

    ¡°Then let¡¯s go to this realm!¡± Qin Feng decided.

    Shao Tai provided a spacecraft to Qin Feng. The Starry Sea contained tens of thousands of realms, but they had a very long history, which meant that most of the realm resources had been exhausted.

    There were many ultra beasts and creatures. Without a spacecraft, it was difficult to find a ce to rest.

    Qin Feng epted the offer. However, Qin Feng did not n to let Voodoo Lord and Shao Tai go together with him.

    ¡°Umm... Overlord, the other SSS-tier elites would bring their subordinates. It¡¯s better to have more people to look for things!¡±

    The Immortals would announce the missions, and the SSS-tier elites would ept them. Then, the SSS-tier elites would bring a group of SS-tier ability users who would also bring along S-tiers.

    Under such circumstances, it was possible for an SSS-tier elite to have a team of more than one hundred people, but Qin Feng actually did not n to bring a single person?

    Qin Feng thought of the humans from the Dragon-borne realm, but if he wanted these people to join the Dark Coalition, he was not about to do that.

    ¡°There¡¯s no need. It¡¯s useless for all of you to follow me. If you encounter danger, you¡¯ll be courting death.¡±

    ¡°Then... Overlord, be careful!¡±

    What Qin Feng said was also the truth. It was just that Shao Tai and Voodoo Lord looked at the lonely spacecraft and felt a little sad.

    Qin Feng naturally could not feel this feeling at the moment.

    The Dark Coalition did not establish a fixed realm door, so the spaceships would bring people to a floating city in that realm first. This way, it was more flexible and hidden, and there were more choices.

    Qin Feng brought Bai Li onto the spaceship to the Eternal Starry Sea. Perhaps because there was a mission from an Immortal, there were many people on the spaceship this time. Qin Feng and Bai Li looked very inconspicuous.

    Two hourster, the spaceship jumped through the spatial passage and entered the Eternal Starry Sea.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li looked at this ce from one side of the spaceship. Their consciousness did not spread out. They could feel that this starry sea was active and had an extremely strong life force.

    ¡°There are a lot of realms that are nurtured in this kind of sea of stars. There are already a few that have passed by just now. We can just take them away directly!¡± Bai Li¡¯s eyes were sparkling.

    ¡°There should be powerful ultra beasts entrenched there. Otherwise, humans would have upied them long ago,¡± said Qin Feng.

    While the two of them were talking, a human-like person walked over from the side. However, his skin was as pale as lime. He was an Undead.

    Although he was called an Undead, in fact, he was using a special method to preserve his consciousness and soul. This was something done by zombies, corpses, and so on. There were quite a lot of dark runes on this creature. Perhaps he had also sensed the dark aura on Qin Feng¡¯s body as the person deliberately stopped in their tracks.

    ¡°You are hiding it very well. I can¡¯t tell, but has your strength already reached SSS-tier?¡± The Undead Tribe¡¯s consciousness transmitted over, but its gaze fell on Bai Li¡¯s body, which was blocked by Bai Li¡¯s consciousness. Naturally, it was weaker toward SSS-tier ability users. It had already been discovered that she was different.

    Especially her appearance which became a fatal attraction.

    Qin Feng frowned, but he quickly recovered and said indifferently, ¡°Almost.¡±

    The Undead Tribe member smiled. ¡°You only brought one person? Aren¡¯t you afraid of danger? You should know that the Eternal Starry Sea is a sea of ultra beasts. It¡¯s very difficult for humans to move in this realm. The strength of two people is too weak.¡±

    It was unknown whether it was the Undead Tribe member¡¯s Jinx, but after saying this, the rm system on the spaceship suddenly let out an ear-piercing whistle.

 Chapter 1055 - The Undead Tribeâ€™s Samou

    <h4>Chapter 1055: The Undead Tribe¡¯s Samou</h4>

    [Warning! The spaceship is under attack!]

    [Warning! Warning...]

    The rm of the spaceship sounded rapidly, but the passengers inside were very calm. They had long known that the Eternal Starry Sea was dangerous.

    The member of the Undead Tribe moved its lips with difficulty and revealed a malicious smile.

    ¡°Look, they¡¯re here. You guys have to be careful! Lady, do you want me to protect you?¡±

    Bai Li said coldly, ¡°Stay away from me, or I¡¯ll kill you too!¡±

    ¡°Ha!¡± The Undead Tribe member was not bothered by Bai Li¡¯s attitude. They chuckled and turned around to leave.

    At this moment, Qin Feng and Bai Li turned their gazes toward the window. They saw a group of ultra beasts floating by. They had goat horns on their heads, but their bodies were bat-like creatures.

    Each of these creatures was two hundred meters in size. To the ultra beasts in the Eternal Starry Sea, they were not huge, but there were over a million of them in groups.

    The spaceship could not resist them at all.

    Dong!

    Dong Dong!

    These ultra beasts glided in the universe and then crashed into the spaceship.

    Under the intense impact, the protective shield was shattered very quickly. The spaceship had already changed its direction and was running for its life.

    Bzzt!

    A vibration came from the spaceship, followed by a consciousness enveloping the entire spaceship.

    ¡°Those who want to stay, get off the spaceship. Those who don¡¯t want to stay and are afraid of death, return ande back again next time!¡±

    As he said this, the nearest passage had already opened up.

    The ability users who had been in the Eternal Starry Sea for tens of thousands of years were all at the SSS-tier. They were here for the mission of the Immortals, so naturally, they were not afraid of these ultra beasts.

    Thus, one by one, the ability users got off the spaceship. Qin Feng and Bai Li naturally also got off.

    The captain of the spaceship also hoped that this would be the case. If he let these ability users stay back to block the colony of sheep-horned bats, he would naturally be able to leave.

    By the time Qin Feng got off the spaceship, the other ability users had already alighted. In the void, humans were so tiny, but they were also very powerful.

    An SSS-tier ability user exploded with a powerful fire-type ability. The universe started to burn, and arge number of sheep-horned bats died.

    However, this action clearly angered the sheep-horned bats, and a terrifying army pounced on them.

    Yet, this was meaningless anger.

    A few SSS-tier ability users counterattacked. These sheep-horned bats that were only at the S-tier werepletely wiped out as they fled in all directions.

    Soon after, only the members of the Dark Coalition were left in the universe.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were not far from the crowd, but they could clearly feel the difference.

    It was no wonder Shao Tai was surprised that Qin Feng hade on his own. There were at least dozens of SSS-tier Dark Coalition members present, and each SSS-tier ability user was equivalent to a team. With a few thousand people spread out, Qin Feng and Bai Li were alone. It seemed like they were outnumbered and all alone.

    At this moment, the SSS-tier of the Undead Tribe from before walked over.

    Behind him, there were more than ten thousand people.

    These were not real people, but puppets of the Undead Tribe.

    The Undead Tribe was the strongest dark beastmaster, and they could also control humans.

    None of his subordinates had souls, but this number was very terrifying.

    The other SSS-tier ability users all froze when they saw this Undead Tribe member.

    ¡°Master Samou, if I knew you were here, I wouldn¡¯t havee!¡± An SSS-tier ability user said with a fake smile. For someone with this strength to call others master, this person must have something extraordinary.

    However, this ability user who used his consciousness to send messages was only joking. It did not matter even if he knew Samou was here.

    He was the only one who did not care as the others were all tensed up.

    ¡°Samou actually came this time. How troublesome!¡±

    ¡°Be careful, don¡¯t be targeted by him. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to save all of you. See those undead puppets under him? Those were all ability users in the past.¡±

    Not only were they ability users, but they were all S-tier ability users at that. Under Samou¡¯s methods, they gradually became his death legion.

    Perhaps Samou was not a great threat to the SSS-tiers, but he was a threat to the other SS-tier and S-tier users.

    ¡°Hehe, if you want to leave, then leave. What are you all standing around here for? Could it be that someone knows this human and is nning to stand up for him?¡±

    Samou looked in the direction of Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Previously, when he went to look for Qin Feng, he had only vaguely sensed that Qin Feng¡¯s dark power was very strong, but he also felt that Qin Feng¡¯s strength was a little weak. In his opinion, Qin Feng was definitely a person who was not very strong, but had hidden methods. That was why he came here to try his luck.

    Moreover, Bai Li beside him was a humanoid ultra beast. It seemed that she had lived among humans for quite a long time. Such a humanoid ultra beast definitely had a contract. As long as Samou killed Qin Feng and took over his body, this humanoid ultra beast was definitely Samou¡¯s.

    Thus, Samou¡¯s target from the beginning was Qin Feng.

    Hearing those words, the other ability users stepped aside, revealing the lone Qin Feng.

    ¡°I¡¯ve never seen him before!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s just a nobody. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been targeted by Samou.¡±

    ¡°His luck is really bad!¡±

    These people started discussing among themselves. Some of the weaker SSS-tiers did not want to provoke Samou so they left one after another. Those who stayed behind were naturally stronger, so they too wanted to watch the show.

    However, at this moment, Qin Feng looked at Samou and understood the other party¡¯s n. It was a joke to him.

    ¡°Ha, are you courting death? Initially, I didn¡¯t intend to do anything to you. Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll ept such arge army.¡±

    As he said this, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness burst forth.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was at the deity level. Even if Samou was slightly stronger than Qin Feng, he still felt that it was difficult to resist such consciousness.

    ¡°Anyone can talk big!¡±

    Although Qin Feng had deity level consciousness, Samou¡¯s strength was already at SSS3-tier. The diameter of his dark starglobe was thirty meters. He felt that this kind of strength was enough to crush Qin Feng.

    In the next moment, Samou¡¯s dark starglobe was summoned and pressed toward Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng sneered and also summoned his dark starglobe.

    At this moment, it was as if two miniature realms were colliding with each other under the control of their consciousness.

    However, at this moment, Samou already felt that something was wrong.

    ¡°What is this? How is this possible?!¡±

    The diameter of that enormous dark starglobe was far beyond imagination. It was probably a special ability core that only the strongest could possess.

    However, this illogical scene had appeared.

    Samou had walked toward death on his own volition, and his head was actually bleeding!

    He wanted to dodge, but it was toote.

    The dark starglobe between the two collided, and then the dark runes exploded, spreading throughout the entire universe.

    Samou was instantly pushed away by a huge dark rune. In the next moment, his head felt like it was about to split open.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±Samou screamed in pain.

    His dark starglobe was rapidly dissipating. His consciousness felt like it was bitten by someone. It was an indescribable pain.

    After the intense wave passed, Samou¡¯s mind went nk, and then his head exploded.

 Chapter 1056 - Human Tribe: Xuan Feng

    <h4>Chapter 1056: Human Tribe: Xuan Feng</h4>

    After Samou died, the soul mes in the eyes of the tens of thousands of undead puppets under hismand were extinguished. At this moment, a powerful consciousness swept across and controlled these undead puppets.

    In an instant, the undead puppets had gotten a new master.

    As for Samou, he was naturally as dead as he could be. Even his ability core starglobe was shattered, and Qin Feng put it into the runic space.

    After that, Qin Feng searched through Samou¡¯s spatial rune equipment. He immediately found an existence that looked like an spaceship, and he released it.

    This spaceship was veryrge, and there were more than thirty of them.

    Now, Qin Feng had subordinates and spaceships. Compared to when he came here, he was as poor as a ve, and he became rich overnight.

    He had Bai Li put the death legion in her dimensional space. Qin Feng was about to step on the spaceship, but before he left, he looked at the people from the Dark Coalition who were still watching.

    ¡°Now, is there anyone else who is interested in me?¡±

    If there was, he would kill another one.

    But obviously, these ability users did not have this intention.

    The SSS-tier powerhouse who was the first to call out Samou¡¯s name said, ¡°My friend, you don¡¯t look familiar. Did you just join the Dark Coalition? Let me introduce myself. My name is Qian Lan, Dora Tribe!¡±

    This tribe was imed to have the bloodline of God. Although with the advancement of technology, it was found that these people merely inherited the gic mutations of their ancestors when they were evolving. Perhaps it was some kind of valuable treasure, or perhaps it was the fusion of the flesh and blood of some ultra beast, in short, the inheritance of this kind of gene allowed the humans of the Dora Tribe to have golden hair and golden eyes. In actual fact, they were still humans.

    Qian Lan was obviously a powerful Dora Tribe member.

    ¡°Human Tribe, Xuan Feng!¡±

    Qin Feng naturally would not say his real name. Instead, he used a code name as his identity.

    ¡°Haha, it¡¯s a good experience to know a young elite like you. Do you want to travel together?¡±

    ¡°Forget it, we¡¯ll do things with our own capabilities.¡±

    Qian Lan¡¯s expression did not change. Heughed loudly and transmitted via his consciousness again, ¡°Then, let¡¯s do that!¡±

    As he said that, Qian Lan had already stepped onto the spaceship.

    The others also knew that Qian Lan would not make a move and was only testing him. After testing him, Qin Feng¡¯s name was also revealed. Naturally, they had no intention of staying.

    If Qin Feng thought that they were interested in him, would that not be courting death?

    However, as these people dispersed, the discussion did not stop.

    ¡°What¡¯s all that? I¡¯ve never seen him before. Could it be that he came from an unknown and powerful realm? His strength is terrifying!¡±

    ¡°And did you notice? Qian Lan said that he¡¯s a young elite. I took a look and saw that he is only twenty years old.¡±

    ¡°Such a human is simply terrifying. The realm he is in is definitely a mythical realm. There are probably many Immortals as well.¡±

    ¡°He is just a pure human. He shouldn¡¯t have such powerful strength!¡±

    These people were all guessing what kind of powerful background Qin Feng had to possess such strength. Little did they know that the realm Qin Feng lived in was already at its end.

    And the name Xuan Feng was also remembered by these top elites of the Dark Coalition.

    However, Qin Feng did not know these people¡¯s guesses. Even if he knew, he would be happy to see them think in this direction.

    The speed of Samou¡¯s spaceship was very fast, and the scanning system was also very powerful. However, no matter how powerful it was, it could not bepared to Bai Li.

    Bai Li was a spatial beast. Her consciousness might not be strong, but the range of her probing and her perception of the fluctuations in space were much stronger than that of humans.

    Of course, this kind of probing did not have an actual projected image, but she could sense the fluctuations of energy.

    Thus, after the others had left, Qin Feng put away the spaceship and traveled in space with Bai Li.

    ¡°There¡¯s a beast at this location. Its ability should be at the SSS-tier!¡± Bai Li pointed in a direction.

    ¡°Go and take a look. Whether it is or not, it¡¯s going to be useful.¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li opened a space-jump spatial passage. When the two of them stepped into it they were already in a different position.

    In an instant, they were three days away from their previous position, which required the most advanced technology of the Dora Tribe where Qian Lan was from.

    For Bai Li, it only took an instant.

    Soon, they found a huge ultra beast crawling on a dry and uninhabited, digging for something.

    ¡°Interster Rock Armored Beast!¡±

    It was a type of existence simr to the Armored Star, but it was not of the Insectoid Tribe, but a type of reptile. It was simr to a lizard, and its strength was not as strong as a giant dragon.

    However, a giant beast that had reached the SSS-tier was no longer weak, no matter how weak it was.

    It was just that the creature did not pay attention to Qin Feng because it did not notice him. Moreover, even if it did, the giant beast would not care about a small existence like Qin Feng.

    This was not something in its food chain. It was too small and not enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.

    However, such a weak existence had now be its terminator.

    Qin Feng raised his hand and summoned the dark starglobe. Following that, a terrifying ck light burst out.

    ¡°Finger of death!¡±

    The ck light instantly enveloped the body of the Interster Rock Armored Beast. Even the thick stone armor was unable to stop the invasion of the darkness. The power of death prated deep into its body and corroded its internal organs.

    ¡°Awu...¡±

    The Interster Rock Armored Beast let out a blood-curdling scream, but it was unable to withstand the attack. It could only roll on the ground continuously.

    In just a short moment, the powerful beast had already died.

    After absorbing the energy from the other party¡¯s body, Qin Feng could feel that his physical body had grown a little stronger.

    With just a dozen more of such beasts, he would be able to advance his physique to SS2-tier.

    ¡°Next!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Bai Li expanded her probe once more and brought Qin Feng to the next ce.

    It had to be said that the Eternal Starry Sea was extremely vast, but it was also full of dangers.

    This was the territory of the beasts. There was no ce for humans to settle down. However, every tribe had elites who would go and plunder thesends.

    ¡°In the past, I was passively beaten, fending off the beast waves, fending off the invading beasts!¡± Qin Feng thought of all the experiences he had in the Blue Star Realm.

    Compared to the present, his standpoint had already changed.

    ¡°Now, I¡¯ve be an invader, ughtering other ultra beasts.¡±

    ¡°So, perhaps there is no right or wrong in this world, only different standpoints. What I want to do is to be a plunderer, not an existence that takes a beating.¡±

    Qin Feng cleared away the ripples in his heart, ughtering all the ultra beasts he encountered.

    Time passed by quickly. Qin Feng killed more and more interster beasts, and he even encountered a tribal group.

    ¡°Domain of Death!¡±

    ¡°Phantoms Parade!¡±

    In a wave of darkness, these beasts were all ughtered.

    Dong!

    Qin Feng¡¯s body once again broke through the limits.

    SS2-tier physique!

    ***

    At the same time, the other ability users, who were searching within a designated area of the universe, felt that these few days of searching in the universe were very strange.

    ¡°Your Highness Qian, look, there are traces of battles that just happened a few days ago. It should be the SSS-tier Interster Rock Armored Beast.¡±

    Qian Lan looked at the image that was transmitted back and took a deep breath.

    ¡°Dark runes!¡±

    In his mind, Qin Feng¡¯s figure had already appeared.

 Chapter 1057 - The Giant Star Turtle Immortal

    <h4>Chapter 1057: The Giant Star Turtle Immortal</h4>

    In the universe.

    After seven days of ughter, Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength had improved once again. He had already reached the SS3-tier.

    Such a speed was truly heaven-defying.

    However, everything was due to umtion.

    The ultra beasts that Qin Feng had killed were all above SSS-tier. Among them, there was nock of beast kings and beast emperors.

    Such creatures contained a tremendous amount of physical power. If they were converted into energy and absorbed by others, the improvement would be extremely terrifying.

    Unfortunately, what those peoplecked was the Absorption Ability.

    And this Absorption Ability was the key to Qin Feng¡¯s sess. This innate ability was infinitely powerful, and was also increasing infinitely.

    ¡°Next ce!¡±

    ¡°Over here, there are quite a lot of energy fluctuations this time. It should be an entire tribe!¡±

    As Bai Li said this, she had already opened up a spatial passage. After that, Qin Feng adeptly stepped into it.

    The positions of the two people had changed, and they were very far away from their previous position.

    Qin Feng felt his vision go ck, and then it was lit up again. What appeared in front of his eyes was a dark green.

    This was filled with nts and was extremely beautiful. Its resources were definitely top-notch. Qin Feng even felt that the Dragon-borne realm was inferior to this giant star.

    Very quickly, Qin Feng discovered that this giant star was moving at an extremely fast speed.

    Such a fast speed was not obvious due to its huge size. However, with such speed, even Qin Feng would not be able to catch up.

    Such a situation made Qin Feng stunned for a moment, and then his heart was filled with joy.

    ¡°Giant Star Turtle!¡±

    He found it.

    It really was a giant star-like ultra beast. Not only that, on the body of the Giant Star Turtle, there were also countless Giant Star Turtles. They were all ultra beasts at the SSS-tier and below, and had not undergone any changes in their life forms yet.

    ¡°Let¡¯s hurry down, or we won¡¯t be able to catch up!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, with me here, how can we not catch up!¡± Bai Li said proudly. Then, she brought Qin Feng with her, and their bodies were enveloped in spatial runes. With a few shes, they had already arrived on the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s body.

    Speed was rtive. Once they had arrived on the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s body, no matter how the Giant Star Turtle was moving, Qin Feng would not be shaken off.

    Having stepped onto the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s body, if he had not seen it from a distance, Qin Feng would never have thought that such a star was actually an Immortal.

    The Giant Star Turtle roamed the universe. Not only that, Qin Feng also discovered that the Giant Star Turtle was absorbing the violent energy in the universe. Its rotations were also aimless. It just kept moving forward without stopping.

    It was no wonder the Immortals sent people to look for it. With the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s movement speed, no one knew where the Giant Star Turtle had gone to even though they knew its previous position.

    Even Qin Feng¡¯s current position was worlds apart from the position given when the mission was issued.

    ¡°With the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s speed, no one else should be able to discover it. Since that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll kill those SSS-tier Giant Star Turtles first. Otherwise, if the Immortales, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have a share.¡±

    With this thought, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness spread out. This blue was filled with tortoises. They were dark-green or yellow-green in color. Their bodies were as huge as dragons. Thergest was at least ten thousand meters, forming a mountain peak.

    Of course,pared to the Giant Star Turtle, this giant mountain was just a pattern on his back.

    Qin Feng quickly locked onto one of the targets.

    Qin Feng did not release the dark starglobe which was too eye-catching.

    To the Giant Star Turtle, Qin Feng might be just a passing speck of dust that hadnded on its back. However, if Qin Feng summoned a dark ability core with a diameter of a hundred meters, it would be equivalent to challenging the Giant Star Turtle.

    Qin Feng naturally would not do such a thing.

    However, Qin Feng would not hold back. At worst, he would bring Bai Li with him and run.

    Every time Bai Li was by his side, Qin Feng would always feel exceptionally at ease.

    ¡°Finger of Death!¡± A dark ray of light instantly shot out from Qin Feng¡¯s finger andnded on a huge mountain peak.

    The area where Qin Feng attacked immediately turned pitch-ck. Then, it spread out in all directions, like thick ink that was falling into the water, contaminating the clean water.

    The spread of the thick ink was equivalent to Qin Feng¡¯s Finger of Death, polluting the huge mountain.

    ¡°Wuu...¡±

    The Giant Star Turtle Mountain rose from its slumber and stuck out its huge head.

    At this moment, Qin Feng raised his finger again.

    ¡°Finger of Death!¡±

    The terrifying dark runes condensed again and exploded, hitting the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s head.

    This dark power quickly corroded arge hole in the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s head, and the Giant Star Turtle immediately cried out in pain.

    Rumble!

    Tremors came from the ground, and the Giant Star Turtle began to move, causing the ground to crack.

    Dong Dong Dong Dong!

    As if it was supporting a pir in the sky, the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s huge and thick legs propped up its body. Following that, the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s consciousness was locked onto Qin Feng.

    Boom!

    It lifted its leg and stomped down once again. All the light turned into shadows, making it impossible for anyone to escape.

    The Giant Star Turtle wanted to stomp Qin Feng to death.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was too small for the Giant Star Turtle. The Giant Star Turtle stomping Qin Feng to death was like stomping on an ant.

    However, at this moment, Qin Feng pulled out his Verdant Emperor Saber and immediately waved it.

    ¡°Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    A terrifying spirit shadow flew out and blocked the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s kick.

    The power from the saber was extremely terrifying. In the next moment, the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s foot exploded, turning into a bloody mess. Not only that, the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s body was lifted horizontally before it was flipped over on its back by Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng¡¯s current strength wasparable to an Immortal, so how could an ordinary ultra beast be able to block it? Even beast emperors and beast deities could not do it.

    Qin Feng continued to release his ability. The massive Giant Star Turtle was unable to resist at all, and very quickly, all of its flesh and blood were devoured by the dark ability.

    Qin Feng¡¯s physical body expanded rapidly, and the massive power of flesh and blood filled his body. Not only that, Qin Feng felt that his lifespan was increasing explosively.

    An SSS-tier Giant Star Turtle beast deity instantly caused Qin Feng¡¯s physique to break through once more.

    SS4-tier deity level physical strength.

    Qin Feng¡¯s strength and ability to resist attacks had increased exponentially.

    ¡°Not bad. With this speed, I will be able to reach SSS-tier by killing a few more Giant Star Turtles!¡±

    Just as Qin Feng was thinking about that, the entire world suddenly shook, and the distant mountain peaks also seemed to be moving.

    These were all Giant Star Turtles.

    Qin Feng had killed an SSS-tier beast deity. To the Immortals who roamed the universe or those who were sleeping, it was nothing. But to the natives of the entire realm, it was like Void Locusts descending upon the Blue Star Realm, it was the same thing as killing Long Ting.

    Thus, these beast deity moved out one after another.

    Boom!

    The ground beneath Qin Feng¡¯s feet began to rise up, propelling Qin Feng up along with it.

 Chapter 1058 - The Pursuit of an Immortal

    <h4>Chapter 1058: The Pursuit of an Immortal</h4>

    Not only that, the humongous Giant Star Turtles came forward one after another. They stretched out their heads and opened their mouths, wanting to bite Qin Feng.

    There were also countless earth and wood runes attacking Qin Feng.

    ¡°If we make too much noise, we might wake up the Immortal. Let¡¯s leave this ce!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li replied and the two of them instantly moved up ten thousand meters.

    However, this distance was only a step away for the Giant Star Turtles.

    The dozens of Giant Star Turtle beast deities were extremely furious and did not want Qin Feng to escape.

    Therefore, these Giant Star Turtle beast deities chased him all the way out of the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s territory and descended into the universe.

    At this moment, Qin Feng¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up.

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal did not stop at all. It was still like a, moving quickly as if it had abandoned its tribe.

    This was equivalent to sending these Giant Star Turtles to Qin Feng¡¯s mouth for him to taste.

    Qin Feng¡¯sbat strength could reach the level of an Immortal. No matter how many Giant Star Turtle beast deities there were, there was no way they could resist him.

    And at this moment, it was not just Qin Feng, Bai Li had also attacked.

    sh!

    Bai Li released a spatial rift, instantly injuring a Giant Star Turtle beast deity. Spatial beasts were naturally stronger than interster beasts.

    Qin Feng also took out the Verdant Emperor Saber, and the saber light exploded.

    ¡°Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    The activation of the Armored Star Broodmother¡¯s spirit required too much energy, but the spirit chain rend could be released together with ten million spirits.

    This move could release one-tenth of the internal energy of a frozen star.

    For an SSS-tier aptitude user, this release was equivalent to activating an extremely powerful martial art. After all, one-tenth of the internal energy meant that they could only release such power ten times in total, and they would then die without a doubt.

    However, for Qin Feng, he could release it ny times, so he was not worried about this at all.

    Tens of thousands of spirits whizzed past, entangling one of the Giant Star Turtles.

    The Giant Star Turtle¡¯s body was huge. Originally, the turtle-type carapace was the hardest, but because of the size of its head, in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, it was full of ws.

    Tens of thousands of spirits were wrapped around the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s head, gnawing on it.

    The Giant Star Turtle beast deity let out a painful groan and retreated back into its shell. There were still countless wood runes healing it, but they were powerless. Soon, its head was swallowed up.

    ¡°Absorption Ability!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s dark starglobe appeared under his feet. Then, the starglobe rotated and formed a terrifying absorption power.

    The Giant Star Turtle¡¯s flesh and blood merged into the starglobe and were infused into Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    Not only that, its flesh and blood were absorbed from the turtle shell, and there was also an energy core that was more than ten meters in diameter.

    ¡°Absorption Ability!¡±

    The Absorption Ability swallowed the core, and the energy was converted into internal energy, refilling the internal energy stored in the frozen star.

    ¡°Again!¡±

    Qin Feng let out a long cry and his powers burst forth once more.

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    Qin Feng shed one after another. It was aplete massacre.

    The flesh and blood of these Giant Star Turtles merged into Qin Feng¡¯s body. The crystal cores replenished Qin Feng¡¯s energy. It was almost as if he did not expend any at all.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body continued to expand explosively, even faster than when he was in the Armored Star Broodmother¡¯s body.

    The Giant Star Turtles were, after all, ultra beasts, not insectoids. Moreover, it was an ultra beast with powerful physical strength.

    In addition, Qin Feng¡¯s physical body was only that of a human. Even if it continued to evolve, it was still weakpared to the Giant Star Turtle.

    Qin Feng was d that he had advanced his internal energy and ability core first. Otherwise, how could it have gone so smoothly?

    Boom!

    Boom!

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength began to grow continuously. When he hunted the tenth Giant Star Turtle, his physical strength had already reached SS9-tier.

    However, at this moment, Qin Feng felt a terrifying aura of life appear in the distant universe.

    It was an existence that was like a dragon and snake. Upon closer inspection, it was the head of an infinitely long Giant Star Turtle.

    That aura of life was extremely familiar. Qin Feng had seen it more than once. One time, it was the attack of a true Immortal.

    This meant that the impending aura was actually the attack of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal.

    ¡°Careful!¡± Bai Li cried out in rm. Then, she quickly retreated with Qin Feng.

    That special life form, the dragon-snake energy body, opened its mouth wide and bit down on four or five heavily injured Giant Star Turtle ultra beasts. Then, the energy body seemed to be like a passage, circting rapidly and taking the Giant Star Turtles away.

    However, one of the Immortal¡¯s energy bodies did not leave. Instead, it looked at Qin Feng. Then, the head twisted and charged over.

    Qin Feng felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, making him shudder in fear.

    Bai Li¡¯s ability runes filled the surroundings and moved at an extremely rapid speed. However, the energy body of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal was getting closer and closer.

    The continent that was originally far away had once again returned to their sight. The Giant Star Turtle had returned!

    Qin Feng had not only killed one of the Giant Star Turtle beast deities on his body, he had killed so many of them. If this had happened to Qin Feng, he would not have been able to forgive it either.

    The ones that had been killed might have been a member of this Immortal¡¯s tribe or a child. No wonder the Giant Star Turtle was so angry that it came to chase after Qin Feng.

    If Qin Feng had killed an S-tier Giant Star Turtle, perhaps he would not have these problems.

    However, there were no ifs in this world. Qin Feng had overestimated the Immortal¡¯s tolerance level.

    In fact, if someone were to go to his realm to kill Long Ting, Qin Feng would also be furious.

    ¡°Looks like I can only fight it head on!¡±

    Seeing that he could not outrun the Giant Star Turtle, Qin Feng decided not to run.

    ¡°Contact that Immortal. I¡¯ll hold him off for a bit.¡±

    ¡°Be careful!¡± Bai Li put Qin Feng down and instantly shed to the side to send a message to the Immortal.

    On Qin Feng¡¯s side, his consciousness suddenly exploded and the dark starglobe appeared beneath his feet. In the next moment, the starglobe formed a monstrous ck tide, forming a terrifying giant beast.

    ¡°Sovereign Roar!¡±

    A furious roar shook the entire universe.

    ¡°Roar!!!¡±

    The ck tide shot out crazily, colliding with the giant dragon-snake-like head.

    In the past, Qin Feng had released this ability countless times. His enemies would definitely be drowned in the dark runic tide, and then their flesh and blood would be stripped away, causing their bodies to be weak.

    However, this time, Qin Feng did not feel any physical power being stripped away. On the contrary, it was like runes colliding with each other, trying to annihte each other.

    Bang!

    Two waves of energy exploded one after another.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was instantly sent flying by a massive force, speeding through the universe.

    ¡°Hmph!¡±

    Qin Feng suppressed the taste of blood in his mouth with a muffled sound. If it was not for the fact that his physical body had advanced by another level, Qin Feng¡¯s injuries might have been even more severe.

    The dark starglobe started dimming as well.

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal¡¯s energy body was quickly filled up, then it rammed toward him once more!

 Chapter 1059 -

    <h4>Chapter 1059: Battle of Energy</h4>

    So powerful!

    Qin Feng could feel the attacks of this special life form. They were so overwhelming that he could not dodge them.

    He could only face them head-on!

    The dark starglobe was still recovering, so Qin Feng could not use it. However, he still had the Verdant Emperor Saber and Spirit Chain Rend!

    Therefore, in the next moment, an ability frozen star appeared under Qin Feng¡¯s feet. Then, energy was extracted from the frozen star and injected it into the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The Armored Star Broodmother spirit in the Verdant Emperor Saber was released.

    ¡°Chirp!¡±

    The ghost let out a sharp roar and collided with the dragon-snake energy life form.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng did not feel the suppression from the energy in this attack because the extremely powerful Armored Star Broodmother spirit had instantly cut off the dragon-snake energy life form.

    Based on the current standards, if one had an internal force starglobe with a diameter of one hundred meters, that person was an Immortal.

    The Spirit Chain Rend Qin Feng executed mobilized one frozen star. Its power wasparable to an Immortal¡¯s attack, and it could forcefully sh open a top-tier realm.

    Although an Immortal was powerful, it was not invincible. Its life form allowed it to not die, but its opponent¡¯s attack could still be blocked.

    ¡°Even an Immortal isn¡¯t invincible!¡±

    Just as he was thinking about this, the Immortal seemed to have been angered by Qin Feng. Its original body was getting closer and closer. Then, with a sudden shake, countless Giant Star Turtles on his body were thrown out into the universe.

    It looked as if a huge spacecraft carrier had spit out countless small spaceships.

    Then, a portion of the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s continent-like body turned into energy. It looked like a huge foot.

    It lifted the foot and stepped on Qin Feng.

    At this moment, Qin Feng felt as if a-sized existence was suppressing him. Once again, he could not avoid it!

    Qin Feng summoned another internal energy frozen star.

    ¡°Immortal Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    The Armored Star Broodmother¡¯s spirit expanded once again and soared into the sky.

    Qin Feng¡¯s second internal energy frozen star rapidly melted.

    Boom!

    It was as if the entire universe was about to be swept away by this energy. In an instant, Qin Feng was jolted by this energy as he plummeted downward.

    At the same time, one of the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s front legs instantly exploded, and the energy life form vanished.

    For the Giant Star Turtle, this did not mean that it was injured. It only meant that its energy had been depleted. However, this was precisely the most dangerous thing for it.

    If its energy was depleted to the lowest level, its life would be over.

    The Immortals would not age or die. Even if the energy life form left the Immortals with only a trace of energy, it was still the strength of the Immortals. However, if the energy was drained and dissolved, they would die without a doubt.

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal¡¯s energy had already been depleted by a fifth.

    ¡°I want to see how long you canst!¡±

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal and Qin Feng released energy attacks. If Qin Feng were to be drained of all his energy, he would die without a doubt if the Giant Star Turtle Immortal touches him.

    However, if the Giant Star Turtle Immortal¡¯s energy were to be depleted, Qin Feng might not be able to do anything to him.

    With this thought in mind, the Giant Star Turtle had to kill Qin Feng.

    As energy was injected into its front w, a giant turtle leg that was originally broken was once again filled up. Its power was not weakened at all.

    Boom!

    This attack once again descended from the sky.

    Qin Feng once again summoned his internal energy frozen star.

    The Armored Star Broodmother spirit was once again released to block this attack.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng was once again smashed down.

    This was an empty universe, notnd. Otherwise, Qin Feng would have long prated the¡¯s core.

    However, this time was no different from the previous two times. Qin Feng was still not dead.

    The Giant Star Turtle attacked again.

    Qin Feng blocked again!

    The fourth time!

    The fifth time!

    The sixth time!

    Qin Feng only had three internal energy frozen stars left, while the Giant Star Turtle Immortal only had two-fifths of his internal energy left.

    At this rate, if the Giant Star Turtle Immortal were to release a fourth attack, Qin Feng would definitely die.

    However, the Giant Star Turtle Immortal hesitated.

    He had never seen such a tenacious human. His body was clearly so small, just like a speck of dust, but he could erupt with such powerful strength.

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal stopped its attacks and began to absorb the violent energy in the universe to recover its body.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were focused when he saw this, and then he burst forth with great speed.

    ¡°Rampage Influx!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s speed instantly soared, and he crashed into a group of S-tier Giant Star Turtles that were floating in the void.

    ¡°Domain of Death!¡±

    In an instant, the area where Qin Feng was in was turned into a death trap. Countless Giant Star Turtles fell into it and were corroded by the darkness.

    Qin Feng¡¯s power could not break the Immortal¡¯s attack, but it was still very easy to kill these S-tier Giant Star Turtles.

    It could even be seen as a massacre.

    In an instant, tens of thousands were killed and injured.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    ¡°Absorption Ability!¡±

    The two great cultivation techniques absorbed madly. The absorbed power could not increase the strength of the physical body by much, but the recovery of energy was extremely fast.

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal which was floating in the universe and absorbing the violent energy was instantly furious.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal stuck out a terrifying energy head and crushed down again.

    ¡°Bai Li!¡±

    Qin Feng shouted, and then Qin Feng¡¯s body immediately disappeared from the spot.

    When he reappeared, he was already one hundred thousand meters below.

    Boom!

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal appeared once again, crushing the spot where Qin Feng had just stood. Along with the pressure of the energy, the Giant Star Turtles, which were originally not dead, were dragged into the mess and crushed into pieces.

    Not only that, these dregs that were broken into pieces after death were hit by the impact and sent tens of thousands of meters away, coincidentallynding in front of Qin Feng.

    In reality, how could there be so many coincidences in the world? All of this was already in Qin Feng¡¯s calction.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Among this group of Giant Star Turtles, there were at least a dozen SSS-tier Giant Star Turtles.

    The physical bodies of these Giant Star Turtles might have been shattered, but the energy cores were not. Qin Feng used Asteroid Assimtion and absorbed all of these energy cores.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy frozen stars instantly recovered by four.

    As long as there was recovery, Qin Feng could fight a long battle.

    ¡°Bai Li, any news on the Immortal?¡± Qin Feng asked via their soul contract.

    ¡°No news.¡±

    This was very normal. Weak people would work for the Immortals. The Immortals would not care if those who worked for him were to die.

    Just like this time, even if someone discovered the Giant Star Turtle Immortal, so what? There might be a group of people following behind the Giant Star Turtle Immortal, and arge number of people might even die. However, these SSS-tier ability users still had to follow.

    This was the tragedy of the weak. The weak did not have the right to speak, and they did not even have the right to decide their own life and death.

    ¡°I remember that the person who issued the mission this time is called Qian Mu Prime!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s him. Why?¡±

    ¡°He should be from the Dora Tribe. Try to sense where Qian Lan is. If we can¡¯t sense him, we¡¯ll go look for him!¡±

 Chapter 1060 - The Immortal Escapes

    <h4>Chapter 1060: The Immortal Escapes</h4>

    ¡°Good!¡±

    However, the two of them were indeed too fast, and Qian Lan was too far behind.

    Bai Li could only move at an extremely fast speed and backtrack, hoping to find Qian Lan.

    Even if she could not find Qian Lan, Bai Li would still go to the side of the SSS-tier ultra beast. She would directly kill the ultra beast, allowing Qin Feng to absorb the other party¡¯s energy crystal core to recover hisbat strength.

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal thought that Qin Feng had lost all his energy, so he released another terrifying attack.

    ¡°Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    The Armored Star Broodmother¡¯s spirit burst out again.

    But this time, the power released by the Giant Star Turtle Immortalpletely crushed the spirit.

    Qin Feng used this martial art too frequently. Even if his internal energy could withstand it, the spirit was fragile. After a few attacks, it could not withstand it anymore. Now, it waspletely shattered!

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart sank.

    The Armored Star Broodmother Spirit Chain Rend was the only method Qin Feng could use to withstand the Giant Star Turtle Immortal. If this was all gone, Qin Feng would definitely be heavily injured in the next exchange.

    Moreover, although the Giant Star Turtle Immortal had suffered some losses, in reality, its life was not harmed. The Immortal¡¯s life was indeed different.

    ¡°Found him!¡± Bai Li suddenly said. In the next moment, she brought Qin Feng through the void. After a few shes, they saw a huge spaceship.

    It was Qian Lan¡¯s spaceship.

    Qian Lan¡¯s spaceship was moving. The scanners immediately sounded the rms.

    Then, they saw a huge oval-shaped star on their scanners. It was getting bigger and bigger.

    Under the double scanning of the scanners, the huge star got closer to them.

    ¡°The Giant Star Turtle Immortal!¡± Qian Lan¡¯s eyes immediately lit up.

    However, in the next moment, he felt the Giant Star Turtle Immortal¡¯s suppressing aura and instantly felt extremely ufortable.

    ¡°Leader, look quickly. In front of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal, is that the human we met before?¡±

    On the screen, an area was quickly magnified.

    Previously, they were only able to scan the Giant Star Turtle Immortal. Now, after zooming in countless times, they saw that there were two people running wildly in front of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal.

    One of them was the human who killed Samou!

    ¡°Not good! Retreat!¡±

    Qian Lan immediately shouted, and the spaceship began to vibrate crazily as it ran at high speed.

    However, how could their speedpare to Bai Li¡¯s, and Bai Li was only barely on par with the Giant Star Turtle Immortal.

    ¡°Run! Speed up! 200% speed!¡±

    Qian Lan shouted. Then, he activated a spatialmunicator and connected his space to a specific space of his choosing. He raised his wrist and sent a message.

    This message was sent to the Immortal of the Dora Tribe.

    With Qian Lan¡¯s age, it was normal for him to call this Immortal patriarch.

    However, the patriarch did not reply. This time, Qian Lan had also be anxious.

    ¡°Damn it, this human is trying to harm us.¡± Qian Lan¡¯s subordinates immediately cursed.

    However, Qin Feng had the spatial beast Bai Li. These people could not harm Qin Feng even if they wanted to.

    But if they could not do that, they could do something else.

    ¡°Do a quick scan. Didn¡¯t we pass by a spaceship just now? Go find them. We¡¯ll find scapegoats too!¡± Qian Lan said loudly.

    The eyes of everyone in the spaceship lit up. Then, they quickly changed their direction. They turned around and went in the direction of the spaceship they met before this.

    In less than two hours, Qian Lan finally found the other party.

    On the spaceship, the rm sounded at the same time. The subordinates of the SSS-tier powerhouse immediately jumped up in excitement.

    ¡°Boss, we found it. It¡¯s the Giant Star Turtle Immortal!¡±

    ¡°Wait, it¡¯s not sleeping. Someone provoked it!¡±

    ¡°It¡¯sing toward us. Run, run!¡±

    The people in the spaceship immediately roared. The previous scene was seen once more. These people also joined in on the escape.

    At this time, the area they stepped into was also the area where many SSS-tier ability users had previously explored. The Giant Star Turtle Immortal did not hide its tracks. Its aura spread throughout the universe, and more and more SSS-tier ability users had arrived.

    However, after they arrived, what greeted them was the fury of the Immortal.

    Dong!

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal angrily released its energy life form, enveloping an entire fleet with each move.

    Boom!

    An explosion sounded, and all the ability users in the fleet died.

    Among them, there was one SSS-tier ability user, dozens of SS-tier ability users, and over a hundred S-tier ability users.

    However, these people were all humans or humanoids, and their bodies were not very big. Therefore, to the Giant Star Turtle Immortal, they were only the size of dust.

    It was just that these specks of dust were different from the previous speck of dust.

    Qin Feng was really too troublesome. The Giant Star Turtle Immortal chased him all the way here, but he could not do anything to Qin Feng. Now, others of the same size hade, but they were killed in one move. A lot of excess energy exploded into the surroundings, and the spaceships that were swept away were all destroyed.

    At this moment, the Giant Star Turtle Immortal also realized that it was not the humans that had be stronger. It was the fellow who had provoked him earlier who was strong.

    ¡®They are all humans. I¡¯ll kill them all. I¡¯ll reign terror and make that human pay the price!¡¯

    As the Giant Star Turtle Immortal thought to itself, it then began a massacre.

    Situations like this where the innocent would get dragged into the mess weremon when different tribes were locked in battle.

    The people of the Dark Coalition were being chased after relentlessly. They frantically contacted the most powerful people of the Dora Tribe, including Qian Lan.

    Right now, these people were being killed mercilessly, overwhelmed by the fear of death.

    Only Qin Feng was not afraid. On the contrary, he went wherever the dead people went.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    ¡°Absorption Ability!¡±

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Half a dayter, Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy frozen stars had recovered to their peak state. His withered consciousness was also filled up.

    However, without the spirit of the Armored Star Broodmother, he could not fight against the Immortal.

    Only then did Qin Feng feel his heart ache.

    At this moment, a huge rift suddenly appeared in the universe.

    Then, a powerful aura gushed out.

    An illusory image walked out. It was a thousand-meter tall giant.

    Although it was called a giant, it did not give off a burly feeling. On the contrary, it had a slender figure and a handsome face. Its pair of golden eyes were like huge, glowing stars. They emitted sunlight, illuminating the pitch-ck universe.

    It was Qian Mu, the Immortal of the Dora Tribe.

    ¡°Patriarch, the patriarch is finally here!¡± Qian Lan was so moved that he was on the verge of tears when he saw Qian Mu Prime¡¯s energy life form.

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal had been attacking everywhere it went, and it had almost hit Qian Lan several times. If Qian Mu Prime did note, Qian Lan would have died here.

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal sensed the arrival of Qian Mu Prime, then it proceeded to stop its rampage.

    The atmosphere in the universe immediately froze.

    In the next moment, the Giant Star Turtle Immortal began to fly upward at high speed.

    It was actually escaping?

 Chapter 1061 - SSS-tier Physical Strength

    <h4>Chapter 1061: SSS-tier Physical Strength</h4>

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal had already expended a great deal of energy. If another Immortal were to appear at this time, its life would be in danger.

    Qian Mu Prime was also somewhat dumbfounded. He had never expected that the Giant Star Turtle Immortal would actually run away when he had just found it.

    Qian Mu Prime did not have absolute confidence in winning either. However, ughtering some of the creatures below the SSS-tier would allow him to obtain a lot of resources.

    But now, Qian Mu Prime seemed to have a moment of sudden inspiration

    ¡°Ultimate Sun Curse!¡±

    In an instant, it was as if two star-likes had appeared in Qian Mu Prime¡¯s eyes.

    Then, rays of light shot out.

    Two rays of light were shot out.

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal naturally felt the attack this time. A thickyer of turtle shell phantom actually appeared on the surface of its massive star-like body.

    When the energy of the two collided, the entire universe was turned upside down. There were even a few meteors that were directly ground t and destroyed.

    The other ability users of the Dark Coalition were all sent flying and repelled by the force.

    Very soon, the attacks of the two Immortals continued to erupt. Qin Feng and Bai Li also had no way to get close.

    However, at this moment, it could be said that Qin Feng had gotten a full grasp of the Immortals¡¯ attacks.

    It was different from Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s previous attack. After all, Ahn Ping Prime had only stretched out his hand to grab something. Furthermore, Qin Feng was still kind of weak back then, so he could not understand many of the rules.

    Now, he could understand a lot more.

    The battle between the Giant Star Turtle Immortal and Qian Mu Prime was extremely intense. However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that the energy released by the two was actually not as much as Qin Feng¡¯s. However, it was still a form of collision.

    The ming spear released by Qian Mu Prime pierced into the body of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal. The Giant Star Turtle Immortal was unable to resist, but it did not let out a blood-curdling scream. Instead, its vitality began to flow rapidly through its body. In the end, the ming spear was also gradually depleted.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qian Mu Prime¡¯s eyes lit up. He raised his hand to gather light energy before grabbing onto the back of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal.

    In the next moment, the Giant Star Turtle Immortal¡¯s body began to change as well. Its entire body transformed from a star into an energy body.

    The energy body was semi-transparent. One could see that it had an even more dazzling physique inside its body. That was the Immortal¡¯s crystal core.

    A crystal core that was only about one hundred and twenty meters long. This Giant Star Turtle Immortal might have lived for a very long time, and had a huge body, but it was clear that it had just be an Immortal. Otherwise, it would not have been targeted by Qian Mu Prime.

    Qian Mu Prime did not expect that he would be able to defeat the Immortal so easily. He was quite pleased with himself as he squeezed the Immortal¡¯s crystal core and began to pour energy into it.

    ¡°Awuu...¡± The Immortal let out a miserable shriek.

    This shriek was the true source of pain, the true source of damage to the soul.

    It began to struggle once more, but it was to no avail.

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal¡¯s energy had been used up too much. It could not withstand Qian Mu Prime¡¯s destruction at all.

    The Immortal¡¯s core was finally dragged out by Qian Mu Prime.

    Boom!

    In the next moment, the stars exploded!

    It was just like the explosion of the Armored Star Broodmother.

    Large areas of the continent were split apart as thend exploded from within. The people from the Dark Coalition could not see Qian Mu Prime who was one thousand meters tall.

    However, they could feel that the universe was no longer filled with violent energy, but the energy after the death of an Immortal.

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    On the spot, there were a few ability users who were close to leveling up, and their strength increased explosively, breaking through the threshold.

    However, these people were all S-tier or SS-tier ability users, none of them were at SSS-tier.

    After all, they needed too much energy to advance.

    At this moment, Qin Feng suddenly entered a crack between the continent fragments, blocking the sight of others.

    In the next moment, the space between Qin Feng¡¯s brows opened up, and the dark starglobe spun crazily inside.

    Instantly, a powerful life force rushed into Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness realm, and then it fell into his body from the consciousness realm.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s body instantly broke through like the others who had advanced.

    SS8-tier physical strength!

    This energy was still being released.

    One had to know that the Giant Star Turtle Immortal was a true Immortal, and it was a tribe with one of the strongest physiques and life forces.

    This force was intoxicating.

    While absorbing crazily, Qin Feng¡¯s body was still continuously growing.

    Boom!

    SS9-tier physical strength!

    ¡°Again!¡±

    Qin Feng increased the absorption of the dark starglobe, and a brutal power was transmitted. Even some of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal¡¯s flesh and blood at the edge were absorbed, which then rapidly aged and disintegrated into ashes.

    With the addition of this power, Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength finally underwent a shocking reversal.

    Boom!

    SSS-tier physical strength.

    Finally, at this moment, Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength had also be SSS-tier, and was on par with the top-tier ability users present.

    However, his SSS-tier physical strength was at the beast deity level. The SSS-tier ability users present here would probably have to release powerful abilities and ancient martial arts to be able to block Qin Feng¡¯s punch.

    ¡°Phew!¡±

    Qin Feng opened his eyes, and the vortex between his brows gradually closed up.

    However, at this moment, the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand was vibrating, continuously emitting a low hum.

    An invisible force was pouring into it.

    After the Verdant Emperor Saber stopped vibrating, Qin Feng finally revealed a smile.

    This time, the biggest gain was not the strength of this SSS-tier physique, but the dead spirit in the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    Although the Armored Star Broodmother was also very powerful, it was a creature that only had one foot in the Immortal realm, so it was not aplete Immortal.

    And the spirit of this Giant Star Turtle Immortal was solid.

    Qin Feng had reaped a great harvest.

    At this moment, in the central area that they could not see, a light suddenly emitted from it. Under this light, some of the resources inside the Giant Star Turtle Immortal had disappeared. It was obvious who took them.

    ¡°What a pity!¡± Bai Li said.

    The two of them had put in a lot of effort this time, but in the end, arge number of items were taken away by Qian Mu Prime. Although there were gains, they were only a drop in the bucketpared to the dead Giant Star Turtle Immortal.

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. When we¡¯re strong enough, we¡¯ll get them back!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°Yeah, there¡¯s nothing we can do now. We haven¡¯t be Immortals yet. Even if we defeat the Giant Star Turtle Immortal, we won¡¯t be able to attack its core region.¡±

    Qin Feng also understood that this time, Qian Mu Prime¡¯s attack had allowed Qin Feng to see many things.

    In a fight between Immortals, losing limbs was nothing. Only by attacking the core region of the Immortal could one truly kill the opponent.

    However, with Qin Feng¡¯s current strength, he could only exhaust the energy life form of the Immortal. He simply could not cut open the outer shell of the Immortal. Even if he did, it would only be filled by the life energy of the Immortal.

    If this continued on, he would never be able to kill the Immortal.

 Chapter 1062 - The True Immortal Spirit Chain Rend

    <h4>Chapter 1062: The True Immortal Spirit Chain Rend</h4>

    However, at this moment, Qian Mu Prime¡¯s consciousness spread throughout the universe.

    ¡°Who is Xuan Feng?!¡±

    Although Bai Li had contacted Qian Mu Prime, the name she left behind was the name Qin Feng used to call himself¡ªXuan Feng.

    ¡°Prime, it¡¯s me!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness also spread out. Following that, therge pieces of star fragments that were blocking Qin Feng¡¯s line of sight were pushed away, revealing a path.

    A light giant appeared in front of Qin Feng. It was Qian Mu Prime.

    ¡°Well done. This is your reward!¡± Qian Mu Prime raised his hand, and two items entered Qin Feng¡¯s hands.

    Not only that, these two items were huge.

    ¡°You¡¯re not bad. Work for me more in the future. This is a star-ying iron. The characteristics contained within it can cause damage to energy life forms after fusing with any weapon!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart pounded.

    This star-ying iron was extremely important to him.

    The Threat Qin Feng was facing now was Ahn Ping Prime. Due to Shao Dongfeng, Ahn Ping Prime was targeting Qin Feng. Furthermore, Qin Feng had also snatched the crystal core of the Armored Star Broodmother. Even though Ahn Ping Prime did not know about it, it was basically a dangerous move of walking into the lion¡¯s den.

    Sooner orter, they would face each other. Furthermore, with Ahn Ping Prime around, Qin Feng would not be able to return to the Human Alliance.

    Now, this star-ying iron gave Qin Feng a new idea.

    It was a very bold idea.

    ¡°Thank you, Prime!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Although the Dark Coalition had many vicious people, not everyone was necessarily a bad person. They all had no bottom line. Sometimes, they just had different standpoints.

    Moreover, sometimes, the rtionship between the members of the Dark Coalition was not based on character but ability.

    Others might not know this, but Qian Mu Prime naturally knew that the life force in the body of the Giant Star Turtle had been greatly weakened. That was why he was able to kill the other party so easily. All of this was done by Qin Feng.

    It was impossible to stop such a person.

    Sometimes, having one more friend was better than having one more enemy. Moreover, there was no grudge between the two of them.

    ¡°Alright, if I have a mission in the future, I will send it to you directly!¡± Qian Mu Prime threw a specialmunicator to Qin Feng. Then, he tore through space and stepped into it.

    When the huge figure disappeared, the universe seemed to have disappeared like a burning star. Gradually, it became dark and silent.

    Qin Feng looked at the material in front of him. Other than the star-ying iron, there was also an existence that looked like a small mountain. It was very sharp. It was a sharp edge on the shell of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal.

    It was a material at the Immortal level.

    Not only that, the material was wrapped in energy, and it appeared in different shades of green. However, as Qin Feng looked around, it could be seen that the materials that were exposed in the universe were changing into different forms under the interference of the energy in the universe.

    When some flesh and blood had been fused with earth runes, even a small amount of runes could be magnified by the energy of the flesh and blood. Soon after, arge piece ofnd would appear.

    What the ability users had to do was to quickly snatch it. Otherwise, these special life form resources would be a piece ofnd. Even if they managed to snatch it, the quality would also be reduced.

    And the material in Qin Feng¡¯s hand had clearly been sealed by Qian Mu Prime.

    ¡°This Qian Mu Prime is still very friendly to me!¡±

    Qin Feng did not have any prejudice against the people of the Dark Coalition. However, when it came to the Immortals, he could be rewarded ording to the agreement, or even get something which far exceeded the original reward. It was too valuable.

    Qin Feng ced the materials in his hands into his spatial rune equipment. At this moment, all the ability users came to a realization.

    The Immortal had already left. Right now, they had to strive to get more resources as soon as possible. There was still a portion of people who was looking at Qin Feng greedily.

    ¡°Kill him!¡±

    ¡°What right do you have to have the things that the Immortal rewarded!¡±

    ¡°Die!¡±

    The Immortal had given the reward to Qin Feng, but the Immortal had already left. In the Dark Coalition, it was the highest creed that an innocent man would be guilty of possessing a treasure.

    Those who could not protect the treasure, no matter who gave it to them, would be guilty.

    A group of people crazily charged at Qin Feng.

    Most of these people did note in the same spaceship as Qin Feng, so they did not see Qin Feng kill Samou.

    They knew that Qin Feng was the first person to find the Giant Star Turtle Immortal, otherwise, why would Qian Mu Prime reward him? However, they did not know that Qin Feng had blocked the attack of an Immortal.

    At this moment, a thought appeared in the minds of these people.

    Star-ying iron, that was a star-ying iron!

    Everyone was spurred on by the greediest thoughts in their hearts by this Immortal level resource.

    It was to kill Qin Feng.

    However, Qin Feng could not be bothered with these people.

    Because at this moment, Qin Feng also wanted those resources, even if it was just a drop of the Immortal¡¯s blood.

    ¡°Get lost!¡±

    Amidst Qin Feng¡¯s angry roar, energy burst out, and a dark starglobe appeared beneath his feet.

    The appearance of this terrifying dark starglobe shocked everyone. However, there were too many ability users now. There were even SSS9-tier powerhouses with an internal force frozen star or ability crystal core which had a diameter of about ny meters.

    These people were not afraid of Qin Feng.

    Therefore, a group of people surrounded Qin Feng.

    The power of runes erupted once again in the universe. This time, although the power was not as strong as that of an Immortal, the result was even more terrifying.

    All the ability users who stepped into Qin Feng¡¯snd of darkness had their vitality weakened. However, they relied on their own strength to join hands to kill Qin Feng. As for who would have thestugh in the end, they all felt that it was them.

    Facing this group of people, Qin Feng sneered and pulled out the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Then let me try the power of this saber!¡±

    Qin Feng released the dark starglobe just to hold these people back. The real trump card was the Verdant Emperor Saber in Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber that had fused with the spirit of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal.

    ¡°Immortal Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    The energy of one internal energy frozen star was consumed. Following that, the de light on the Verdant Emperor Saber transformed into a shockwave that was like a giant.

    Boom!

    The shockwave exploded in the universe.

    All the ability users who were close to Qin Feng were turned into ashes under the impact of this energy!

    This de lightsted for a full ten minutes. After that, only the spatial runic stones floating in the sky was left!

    Aplete massacre!

    For a moment, the entire universe fell silent. One had to know that not everyone went to surround and attack Qin Feng.

    ¡°Gulp!¡±

    Long ago, when Qin Fengunched his attack, Qian Lan had already run far away. Even so, the shockwave almost swept past him, causing him to expend a huge amount of energy to resist it.

    At this moment, when he saw that there were actually no corpses around Qin Feng, he could not help but gulp with great difficulty.

    Fear spread from his heart.

 Chapter 1063 - The Blood River Project

    Chapter 1063: The Blood River Project

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng turned his head and looked over. At this moment, no one was close to the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s resource area.

    ¡°I was the first to discover the Giant Star Turtle. Since the Immortal has left, I am naturally the only one who can obtain it. If you are not satisfied, you can show me your true strength!¡±

    At this moment, the others were naturally fuming but did not dare to say anything.

    Qin Feng¡¯s strength was too strong.

    ¡°Bai Li, pack up the things!¡±

    Even as they spoke, the flesh and blood remnants left behind by the dead Giant Star Turtle had already been dyed with the symbols of the universe. They began to change rapidly. Some transformed into fiery magma, some into earth, and some into streams as they continued to fuse with each other.

    .

    Only by quickly packing up and sealing up these materials could they preserve the characteristics of the Immortal.

    ¡°Watch me!¡±

    Bai Li raised the crystal ball in her hand. In an instant, a space whirlpool opened up rapidly like the mouth of a giant beast.

    It had a diameter of ten thousand meters.

    Then, Bai Li made this huge spatial tunnel with a diameter of ten thousand meters move quickly. Wherever it passed, even the dust in the universe would be swallowed, so the materials were no exception. However, without the floating runes in the universe, these materials would also remain in the state of death.

    However, the Giant Star Turtle was too huge, and the expansion range was also terrifying. Even though Bai Li was fast enough, those ability users who did not give up were still searching for the things at the edge. Yet in just half a day, all the things here were swept clean.

    At this time, the remaining people saw that Qin Feng was still on the same spot. They were also a little afraid and left one after another.

    Qin Feng did not chase after these people. He was not a murderer. The only prerequisite was that they did not trigger him.

    ¡°I wonder if these things can help you improve a little more,¡± Bai Li said.

    ¡°Probably only by one tier!¡± Qin Feng said.

    ¡°That would be a little slow. Why don¡¯t we go back to the Blood River Realm and take a look? Those Gorefiends are actually not bad. I just don¡¯t know if there are any stronger existences,¡± Bai Li suddenly said.

    If Bai Li did not say it, Qin Feng would have almost forgotten about this realm.

    However, he was tempted, and he suddenly said, ¡°The Blood River Realm doesn¡¯t seem small, but its strength isn¡¯t too strong. However, in such a special realm, the realm core might be a pure life form. If that¡¯s the case...¡±

    After swallowing this realm, Qin Feng would definitely advance to SSS9-tier.

    Qin Feng was instantly enticed.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go back first!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li nodded, then she opened a spatial passage, and the two people disappeared on the spot.

    The SSS-tier ability user who had not run far saw the two people disappear, and his heart finally felt at ease.

    ¡°Fortunately, I didn¡¯t provoke these two malefactors.¡± Qian Lan let out a long sigh, then he waved his hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back!¡±

    He had wasted some time here, and the money he had earned was not as good as the money he had spent. It was definitely a huge loss.

    However, he was also d that he did not provoke Qin Feng. Otherwise, he would be like the group of people who had been turned into dust.

    ***

    Blue Star Realm.

    Qin Feng had returned after experiencing a great battle. He was also very tired. However, he did not rest immediately. Instead, he took out hismunicator and sent a message to Xue Xingfu.

    ¡°Send a message to the Blood River Realm¡¯s corporations and the people behind them. In my name, I will purchase the assets that the people of the Blood River Realm have upied! ¡°I don¡¯t want any humans to remain in the Blood River Realm after three days. Oh right, tell them that the Blood River Realm will be closed down in the future.¡±

    The Blood River Realm was not actually owned by anyone. Even the humans of the Blue Star Realm were considered intruders.

    However, some corporations had sent people there and built protective devices. These were all investments.

    However, to Qin Feng, these were just small amounts of money. Qin Feng was not willing to bully others with his power.

    However, Qin Feng also knew that as long as Xue Xingfu had released the news that he needed it, the people of the Blood River Realm would immediately retreat and would not stay any longer.

    This was because Qin Feng was definitely the number one person on the Blue Star Realm right now.

    Xue Xingfu was not in the Human Alliance headquarters every day. He woulde back every day to take out some resources and exchange for more resources.

    Xue Xingfu happened to be on the Blue Star Realm right now. When he heard Qin Feng¡¯s message, he immediately replied.

    ¡°Okay, President, I¡¯ll do it right away!¡±

    Soon after, Xue Xingfu¡¯s message started to spread.

    ¡°What? That elite from the Huaxia Alliance wants to buy the Blood River Realm?¡±

    ¡°Then, aren¡¯t we going to make a lot of money?¡±

    ¡°Money? Aren¡¯t you afraid of death? You still want to make money from him? They told us to retreat within three days. Let¡¯s not talk about negotiations. Let¡¯s retreat first. Otherwise, you can¡¯t afford to provoke the wrath of that elite.¡±

    ¡°Let¡¯s go. The Fist God wants us to give up this realm.¡±

    ¡°Retreat. Boss has spoken.¡±

    ¡°The upper management wants us to leave quickly. Don¡¯t anger that Killer God.¡±

    The groups in the Blood River Realm retreated one after another. Without them, those scattered aptitude users would not be able to establish themselves. Moreover, these people had also heard the news.

    Qin Feng had entered the Dragon-borne realm and killed an SSS-tier elite. His reputation had not been forgotten with time, and he had even be the strongest elite in the Blue Star Realm. Some people did not even mention the matter regarding acquisition and directly retreated, afraid that this elite would be angered.

    In less than a day, in the Blood River Realm, the Blood River battlefield had already been emptied. The Gorefiends, who were on the brink of danger, suddenly discovered that the invading humans had disappeared.

    Qin Feng did not know that Xue Xingfu was so adept in dealing with this matter. After resting for a day, he was ready to start evolving the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    This time, the Verdant Emperor Saber had evolved to the SSS-tier. He even nned to try to evolve into an Immortal god weapon.

    ¡°I really don¡¯t know if an Immortal god weapon would appear. However, since Qian Mu Prime gave me this, it should be possible!¡±

    However, Qin Feng would never have thought that Qian Mu Prime had given him these things merely as a reward for the mission. He thought that Qin Feng would only be able to use these things after more than ten years. However, Qin Feng had already started using them now.

    This time, Qin Feng had killed quite a number of deity level SSS-tier ultra beasts in the Endless Starry Sea. These things were already very easy for him with his current strength.

    ¡°I might as well add the Wraith Devil¡¯s crystal core!¡±

    The Wraith Devil beast deity was a rather powerful creature that Qin Feng had killed. It had a fatal damage to the soul. Adding the crystal core of such a creature into the Verdant Emperor Saber would definitely increase the power of the Spirit Chain Rend.

    Following that, Qin Feng added some extremely rare SSS-tier ores that he had found from the spatial rune equipment of many SSS-tier ability users. Even if only one out of ten SSS-tier ability users had such rare ores, the number of people that Qin Feng had killed this time was no less than a hundred.

    Qin Feng put all of these into the Magical Tesseract. The fusion was extremely slow.

    From the looks of it, it actually required a year¡¯s time!

    Qin Feng put the Magical Tesseract into the dimension with the peculiar flow of time. This way, in just a day¡¯s time in the outside world, Qin Feng would be able to obtain a new Verdant Emperor Saber.

 Chapter 1064 - Words that Awaken the Dreamer

    Chapter 1064: Words that Awaken the Dreamer

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng did not wait in vain. Aside from leaving the unused spatial rune equipment to Xue Xingfu, Qin Feng went to Z¡¯sboratory.

    As his strength was getting closer and closer to that of an Immortal, Qin Feng wanted to know more about it.

    This time, Z did not use him as an experiment. He only created something that Qin Feng could not understand. However, with his current strength, he did not need to understand these things. He just had to be careful not to fall into Z¡¯s trap.

    ¡°Recently, you seem to be very interested in my experiment!¡± Z saw Qin Feng and became curious.

    ¡°Not really. I just suddenly obtained something so I want to let you take a look!¡±

    As Qin Feng spoke, he took out a bottle..

    This bottle was not considered small. It was one meter tall and had a diameter of about thirty centimeters. In it, there was a drop of blood floating.

    The blood was translucent and was flowing inside the bottle as if it was alive.

    Z¡¯s breathing became rapid.

    ¡°What is this? I can feel a powerful force inside!¡±

    Z immediately grabbed at the bottle. Qin Feng did not withdraw his hand. Instead, he ced the bottle in Z¡¯s hand.

    ¡°The blood of an Immortal!¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Z cried out in surprise, his eyes widening. ¡°You killed an Immortal?¡±

    However, after saying that, Z shook his head and denied the idea.

    ¡°It¡¯s impossible. Although your current strength is strong, even if your ability core is ten times stronger than other ability users, it¡¯s still impossible for you to kill an Immortal. The life structure of an Immortal is different!¡±

    Z was only saying that Qin Feng could not kill Immortals, but to Qin Feng, it was like a bolt of lightning, instantly illuminating his thoughts.

    That was right, his strength had always been ten times stronger than other ability users, whether it was his physical body, ability, or even his internal energy core.

    Previously, when Qin Feng was devouring the Bahamut Realm, he did not dare to continue, afraid that he would self-destruct and die because he was too greedy.

    Now, it seemed that he was just afraid of the unknown.

    He was too careful, and had missed the opportunity.

    In reality, the diameter of his ability core could reach nine hundred and ny nine meters. As long as the diameter did not exceed ten thousand meters, he would not be able to be an Immortal.

    Simrly, his nine internal energy frozen stars could also reach ten times that of others. That would be even more terrifying.

    As for his physical strength, because of the slow progress, Qin Feng had been cultivating at a rate of ten times that of others. After cultivating, he had maintained his divine level physique.

    Qin Feng himself had created this misunderstanding.

    ¡°President Qin, are you nning to give this thing to me?¡± Z¡¯s voice sounded, and Qin Feng immediately came back to his senses.

    Z did not ask Qin Feng how he got this drop of blood. He only wanted to know if he could get this drop of blood.

    Qin Feng was in a great mood. Z¡¯s words woke him up from his dream, so Qin Feng was naturally not stingy.

    ¡°I¡¯ll give it to you!¡±

    Z¡¯s research would be shared with the Fengli Organization. Moreover, as Qin Feng¡¯s strength increased, the things he could get were all things that only the most powerful creatures in countless realms could have. As long as Z was smart, it was impossible for him to be Qin Feng¡¯s enemy, or even, he had now be Qin Feng¡¯s subordinate.

    This was because Qin Feng could provide him with the items for his experiments.

    At this moment, Z opened the bottle and grabbed the drop of blood without hesitation.

    Qin Feng noticed that when Z touched the drop of blood, his hand had turned into the shape of a dragon w. Moreover, it was translucent, a special form of energy life form.

    This form allowed him to grab the blood at once. After that, the blood quickly merged into his body.

    Qin Feng could clearly feel that Z¡¯s strength had increased, and the effect was very obvious.

    After all, even a drop of blood was the strongest treasure for an S-tier ability user like Z.

    ¡°This feeling, this is the feeling. I haven¡¯t felt it for many years!¡± Z muttered. He knew that this was the feeling of advancing.

    Qin Feng looked at Z¡¯s expression and did not disturb him. Instead, he left.

    After that, Qin Feng went to Chu Fan¡¯sboratory. Because the interdimensional space was sealed by Bai Li, Chu Fan¡¯s new experiment had also been cut in half. However, there were too many things that he could research. Technological advancement in terms ofbat power was one of them.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s arrival would obviously change Chu fan¡¯s experiment subject once again.

    ¡°Chu fan, I¡¯ll provide you with some flesh and blood of an Immortal. Take a look and see if you can develop a potion that can turn an SSS9-tier ability user into an Immortal!¡±

    Qin Feng did not know if he could go to that legendary ce where Immortals could be born, but sometimes, eggs could not be ced in the same basket. Qin Feng nned to let Chu Fan do the research as well.

    ¡°Okay, I know Z¡¯s original idea about the awakening potion. In fact, this kind of change only greatly increases the sess rate. As long as you have the cells of an Immortal, the transformation will be very easy!¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s good!¡±

    Chu fan reminded him, ¡°But this kind of potion is not suitable for ordinary people. You have to take it when you are about to reach the Immortal stage. Otherwise, your body will explode and you will die.¡±

    Just like those people who could not bear the medicine and had turned into monsters in the end.

    ¡°Understood. There is no need to produce so many. One is enough!¡±

    This was Qin Feng¡¯s trump card.

    After that, Qin Feng gave the spatial rune equipment in his hands to Xue Xingfu. During the training in the Eternal Starry Sea, especially when he used the Immortal Spirit Chain Rend attack at the end, Qin Feng did not know how many people he had killed. There were too many spatial rune equipment.

    Moreover, these things had to be reced with energy to fill Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy frozen stars, allowing him to obtain ten times thebat strength of others.

    After such a busy round, a day had passed. Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber had finallypleted its evolution.

    In the Magical Tesseract, three tiny cracks had appeared.

    ¡°I wonder if the Magical Tesseract can still sustain itself.¡±

    At this point, Qin Feng could only rely on the Magical Tesseract. If he used normal methods to forge the Verdant Emperor Saber, he would have to find a top-tier forger. and the only one who could forge Immortal rune equipment was an Immortal.

    ¡°Go!¡±

    Qin Feng threw the star-ying iron and the materials of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal into the Magical Tesseract.

    The Magical Tesseract immediately shook.

    The star-ying iron and the Giant Star Turtle Immortal material did not move at all, as if there was no reaction whatsoever.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s sharp senses discovered that the materials were still gradually melting. It was just that it was too slow.

    Such a slow process would probably take ten years before it could melt.

    ¡°Let¡¯s give it a try!¡± Qin Feng threw the Magical Tesseract into the dimension where time flow was extremely fast again. Looking from the outside, the star-ying iron and the Giant Star Turtle Immortal shell finally began to melt faster. However, on the Magical Tesseract., cracks began to appear one after another.

    Crack! Crack! Crack

    These cracks were very small, but they were increasing in number.

 Chapter 1065 - Moon Star Ravine

    Chapter 1065: Moon Star Ravine

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    This time, Qin Feng did not even know if he could seed.

    However, Qin Feng could not keep an eye on the Verdant Emperor Saber¡¯s evolution. Plus, he had been reminded by Z previously, so Qin Feng nned to verify if that idea was true.

    The Blue Star Realm was obviously not suitable. Qin Feng simply flew out of the atmosphere and entered the universe.

    The universe outside the Blue Star Realm was even more deste. The power of the cosmic rays was not too great, but there was also a fatal aura inside. The sealed aura could suffocate ability users to death.

    This was not a threat to the current Qin Feng. He raised his hand and took out a huge dark realm core.

    .

    It was the realm core of Bahamut.

    When this core was exposed, it almost expanded instantly. When the runes came into contact with the energy in the universe, it almost turned into a giant dark beast, and even almost turned into a terrifyingnd of darkness.

    However, at this moment, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was wrapped around this dark core, and then his ability exploded.

    ¡°Absorption Ability!¡±

    Visible to the naked eye, this dark core started to melt rapidly.

    At the same time, the dark starglobe under Qin Feng¡¯s feet began to grow.

    A momentter, Qin Feng¡¯s dark starglobe had grown to a diameter of one hundred and ten meters. However, Qin Feng could not feel any expanding or exploding power. It did not seem to be his limit at all.

    In an instant, Qin Feng¡¯s heart began to beat crazily.

    ¡°I seeded. I can indeed contain more dark power. This means that before my strength reaches the stage of an Immortal, I can truly possess thebat power of an Immortal!¡±

    Qin Feng continued to devour the giant dark core. Even the matter regarding the Blood River Realm had been postponed.

    Days passed, and the core of Bahamut Realm had beenpletely devoured by Qin Feng. His ability core had finally expanded to a diameter of nine hundred meters.

    This was the result ofplete absorption.

    The dark runes were different from the frozen stars. Due to the purity of the frozen stars, every time they devoured the cores of other realms, they would reject impurities. However, the dark core was formed by runes, so there was no trace of impurities. Qin Feng hadpletely epted it.

    In his consciousness realm, there was already a terrifying existence that wasparable to the core of the Bahamut Continent.

    Boom!

    At this moment, Qin Feng felt that a human-shaped phantom image had actually appeared on the huge dark core. It was Qin Feng himself.

    Moreover, this phantom image opened its mouth, as if it could devour everything.

    This was the true Absorption Ability.

    In the past, the Absorption Ability could only devour dead existences. At this moment, the Absorption Ability had finally unleashed its terrifying power. The current Qin Feng could even devour living beings, instead of using his dark ability to absorb them, the Absorption Ability was used indirectly.

    ¡®This ability is most likely not at the SSS-tier, but a method used by an Immortal. It¡¯s a pity that my consciousness right now is only at the SSS-tier of the divine level. If I want to fully utilize it, I¡¯ll need to raise my consciousness.¡¯

    Consciousness required energy, not runes. This energy could also be devoured from the violent energy within the core of a realm. He could also kill elites and plunder their consciousness.

    This was actually something that could be easily aplished.

    Qin Feng continued toprehend the state of the dark starglobe after it became nine hundred meters in diameter. The more he looked at it, the more terrifying it felt. It was as if he really had the feeling of being able to destroy the world with a lift of his hand.

    Just as Qin Feng was exploring, he suddenly felt something. He raised his hand and looked at the secret realm ring. There was a new change in the Magical Tesseract.

    More than ten days had passed. The materials in the Magical Tesseract hadpletely melted. The Magical Tesseract had also be dpidated. Now, the final step was underway.

    The star-ying iron and the materials from the Giant Star Turtle had been integrated into the Verdant Emperor Saber. With thest bit of integration, the Verdant Emperor Saber hadpletely changed.

    A long greenish-ck saber appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s line of sight.

    ¡°It¡¯s done!¡±

    Qin Feng was ecstatic as he subconsciously took out the Magical Tesseract.

    The moment the Magical Tesseract was taken out, it seemed to be the straw that broke the camel¡¯s back. The Magical Tesseract, which was covered in countless cracks, suddenly exploded.

    Bang!

    The Magical Tesseractpletely disintegrated into pieces. Then, a saber fell out of the void. It was the Verdant Emperor Saber that Qin Feng had sensed earlier.

    Buzz!

    The Verdant Emperor Saber emitted a terrifying aura. The tip of the de swayed slightly in the air, forming a terrifying energy fluctuation. This fluctuation did not inject a single bit of internal energy into Qin Feng, but it spread out to an extremely far distance as a de aura shed out in the universe.

    In the next moment, Qin Feng seemed to feel the sound of something being shed apart. He subconsciously looked into the distance. There was a withered dead star in the middle, and the surface of the dead star was shed into a ravine.

    Qin Feng sucked in a breath of air.

    That dead star was none other than the Moon Star.

    At this moment, on the Blue Star Realm, people who were looking up at the moon suddenly saw a deep mark on the surface of the Moon Star. They were immediately astonished. Some people even thought that this was a call for disaster.

    There were even S-tier elites who flew out of the Blue Star Realm to investigate.

    And at this moment, in the air, Qin Feng grabbed the Verdant Emperor Saber with one hand. He felt a feeling of being connected to it by blood. If not for this feeling, Qin Feng knew that the current him would not be able to control such an existence.

    A weapon at the level of an Immortal.

    It had already be something that human power could not control.

    ¡°Good, good, good, good.¡± Although Qin Feng felt a great heartache after losing the Magical Tesseract, he was satisfied with the final evolution of the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    At this moment, a few S-tier users flew out of the Blue Star Realm and entered the universe.

    Among these people, they were Long Ting, Rick, and Arus.

    Long Ting was the current leader of the Huaxia Alliance, while Rick was a member of the Meherz Empire.

    Most importantly, both of them were slightly familiar with Qin Feng, and they had the most authority on the Blue Star Realm. The more powerful they were, the more responsibility they had. Naturally, they came to check on the incident immediately.

    As for Arus, he had just advanced to S-tier, but the Blue Star Realm had sealed off the outer space. Under the scarcity of resources, he was very active, and it was all for himself.

    As soon as the three of them entered the universe, they saw Qin Feng¡¯s figure.

    ¡°Lord Qin, so it¡¯s you.¡± Long Ting saw Qin Feng, and the worry in her heart was also eased.

    ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. It¡¯s not some elite¡¯s attack,¡± Rick said.

    ¡°Lord Qin, did you do this?¡± Arus was the most shocked, and he immediately asked.

    The three of them looked at the traces on the distant Moon Star. Although they could also create such traces, the range was sorge that it almost covered the entire diameter of the Moon Star. In addition, Qin Feng was now too far away from the Moon Star.

    These were definitely not things that and S-tier could do.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t control it. I¡¯ll be more careful in the future!¡± Qin Feng said.

    The corners of Long Ting and the others¡¯ mouths twitched. This damage was from not controlling his attack? If he were to attack with all his strength, would the Moon Star not be cut in half?

 Chapter 1066 - Blood River Prime

    Chapter 1066: Blood River Prime

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not stay here any longer. Let¡¯s all go back!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Although they were all S-tier elites, Qin Feng knew that due to the problem of resources, the strength of the S-tier elites in the Blue Star Realm was weaker than the ordinary S-tier elites in the Human Alliance. Being affected by radiation in the universe would also consume a lot of energy, there was no need to stay here.

    Saying this, Qin Feng also flew back.

    Long Ting and the others naturally followed. Looking at Qin Feng¡¯s back, it was even more unfathomable for them.

    As Qin Feng walked, he thought about how to deal with the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    The current Verdant Emperor Saber was too sharp. Its power when it was upgraded was already very terrifying.. If Qin Feng were to really inject internal energy and release the spirit of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal, it would not be a problem for him to cut through the high-level realms with one saber.

    Therefore, he needed to be careful. He did not want to make a mistake and break the Blue Star into pieces.

    With this thought in mind, the aura on the Verdant Emperor Saber gradually calmed down. There were not so many mystical parts on the saber, and it even seemed a bit ancient. Qin Feng was not at ease letting go of the Verdant Emperor Saber, so he took out a piece of top-grade beast skin and wrapped it around the Verdant Emperor Saber, carrying it on his back.

    After that, Qin Feng returned to the Blue Star Realm. All the SS-tier and S-tier ability users in the entire realm had also heard the news and knew about the matter of Qin Feng killing the Moon Star with one strike.

    There were even people who went to the universe on purpose, wanting to see the power of Qin Feng¡¯s strike. The ancient warriors had even learned a lot of things from it.

    Qin Feng naturally did not know about these things. After he returned to the Blue Star realm, he went to the Blood River Realm.

    The people here had already retreated. Even the humans who hade from other realms hadpletely be a part of the Blue Star Realm. This time, when Qin Feng said to retreat, these people also went to the Blue Star Realm to live.

    Qin Feng descended once again. Looking at the blood-rednd and the dark-red Sky, his consciousness spread out.

    This enormous consciousness continued to expand.

    In Qin Feng¡¯s eyes, the boundless Blood River Realm had nowhere to hide.

    This was an extremely huge realm, the size of which wasparable to the Giant Star Turtle Immortal.

    One had to know that the name Giant Star Turtle itself had already shown the size of this creature. The giant star formed was extremely terrifying. The highest level creature in the Blood River Realm was only an S-tier. However, looking at it this way, Qin Feng felt that it was a little strange.

    ¡°With such an abundance of energy, it shouldn¡¯t only be able to give birth to S-tier Gorefiends. It¡¯s even possible to nurture an Immortal.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness swept through the realm. Looking at it carefully, this realm was like a huge blood pool.

    Void beasts and stars that passed by in the universe would also fall and their lives would be absorbed.

    There were also those cracks that were swallowing and spitting out ultra beasts. When they fell into the Blood River Realm, their blood would immediately be sucked out.

    Compared to this huge realm, the humans who were in A-tier and B-tier back then were really child¡¯s y.

    Right at this moment, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness seemed to have touched something.

    Dong!

    This was the sound of consciousness transmission, even more like the sound of a beating heart.

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes shed as he carefully observed the Blood River Realm once again.

    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡±

    ¡°Fortunately, the Blood River battlefield we are in is only a small area. Otherwise, if it develops in the future, these humans will definitely die.¡±

    ¡°This... is not a ne at all!¡±

    This was because Qin Feng had already sensed that this was actually the body of an Immortal.

    The Giant Star Turtle Immortal roamed the universe. Its body was like a star, carrying its own tribe. Some of the more powerful ones had already reached the SSS-tier.

    The Blood River Realm in front of him was clearly not a realm. Instead, it was an enormous existenceparable to the Giant Star Turtle Immortal.

    Otherwise, how could such a special realm have been formed?

    However, in terms of aura alone, Blood River Prime was much weaker than the Giant Star Turtle Immortal.

    That was because the other party¡¯s aura felt as if it had been injured. In addition, he was constantly devouring ultra beasts and void beasts, as well as those Gorefiends who could not grow to SS-tier even though they were rich in resources. This exined everything.

    This Immortal was injured.

    Ever since he saw the battle between Qian Mu Prime and the Giant Star Turtle Immortal, Qin Feng knew that although Immortals did not age or die, they would die in battle. The energy in their bodies would be exhausted, and the realm core within their energy life forms would be triggered, they would then die without a doubt.

    And now, an injured Immortal was right in front of Qin Feng. How could he not be enticed.

    Moreover, the current Qin Feng was no longer the Qin Feng of the past.

    ¡°The Verdant Emperor Saber can touch the core of an Immortal. I should be able to kill him. But let¡¯s try this first!¡±

    With that thought in mind, he rose from the ground to start fighting against the Immortal. How could Qin Feng wait to be surrounded on the other party¡¯s body.

    Qin Feng entered the universe and then saw theplete picture of the Blood River Realm. This ce was like a huge blood pool, a monster that swallowed everything.

    Regardless of what the other party was, it was the same to Qin Feng.

    Because Qin Feng was the one that could swallow everything.

    ¡°Come out!¡±

    Qin Feng summoned and the dark starglobe appeared under his feet.

    The dark starglobe with a diameter of nine hundred meters slowly rotated. The universe quickly changed. Even the lifeless universe was polluted by the darkness and became even more dead.

    As if his actions were too obvious, the Blood River, which was originally flowing slowly like a star realm, also sped up.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousnessnded on the dark starglobe.

    ¡°Let me see the power of the ability that represents an Immortal!¡±

    Of course, this was only the attack of a fake Immortal, because Qin Feng only used 80% of his consciousness to mobilize the runes.

    Even so, a terrifying scene still appeared!

    The runes flew out from the dark starglobe and turned into a human face. Then, like a giant python with a human face, it dashed out.

    Following that, the giant python¡¯s body grew bigger and bigger. The human face opened its big mouth and bit toward the Blood River Realm.

    Dong!

    At this moment, the Blood River Realm exploded with the sound of a violent beating heart. Then, the Blood River suddenly increased in height. Like a huge fountain, it spurted out blood.

    These pirs of blood were extremely huge, almost as big as a python. Then, the two collided.

    The human face controlled by Qin Feng was all covered in blood. The power of decay was destroying the dark runes.

    However, the human face quickly reacted. It opened its mouth and bit down. Countless tons of blood were sucked into its mouth. Qin Feng felt a huge amount of life forceing out from this mouthful of blood.

    One had to know that when Qin Feng was fighting with the Giant Star Turtle Immortal, the Sovereign Roar he used had no way of absorbing the opponent¡¯s energy and life force. But now, Qin Feng could clearly sense it.

 Chapter 1067 - Controlling Blood

    Chapter 1067: Controlling Blood

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    At this moment, the Immortal that the Blood River Realm had transformed into also felt Qin Feng¡¯s powerful attack.

    The power of an Immortal was abination of their physical body and energy, allowing them to remain in a state of immortality. At the same time, even if there was only a sliver of energy left, their attacks could not be discounted. It was still the power of a Immortal.

    It was just like the video games that Qin Feng knew of in some of the peaceful realms. Even if a character had only a sliver of health left, they could still unleash 100% of theirbat power.

    However, Qin Feng had used his remaining energy to shake an Immortal.

    This was a challenge that transcended realms.

    However, there was nothing impossible about it.

    .

    After one attack, the blood pir was continuously devoured. The Blood River Realm seemed to have been awakened. In the next moment, the sky and earth turned upside down. Rumbling sounds rang out as arge amount of blood gushed out from the entire realm, covering the ground, nts, and countless corpses.

    Under this kind of upturn, all other existences apart from the blood began to melt.

    The Blood River Realm rapidly shrank and became smaller. The area in the center grew higher and higher. Gradually, a huge Gorefiend was formed in the universe.

    The Gorefiend was also a human-like creature.

    ¡°Gorefiend Prime!¡±

    Qin Feng was shocked.

    One had to know that the Human Alliance and the Dark Coalition had a total of eight Primes.

    The Human Alliance consisted of Ahn Ping Prime, Sen Zu Prime, Radiance Prime, and Mighty Spirit Prime.

    The Dark Coalition had Qian Mu Prime, Wraith Devil Prime, Nirvana Prime, and Gorefiend Prime.

    Gorefiend Prime was the most terrifying of them all. He had massacred countless human tribes. ording to legends, he had wanted to gather countless elites to annihte the Human Alliance and the Dark Coalition, allowing him to cultivate.

    In the end, this plot did not seed.

    The Dark Coalition needed humans to carry on their bloodlines, and Gorefiend Prime had massacred many of their people. As a result, the Human Alliance and the Dark Coalition had joined forces to hunt him down.

    Three of the Primes, Might Spirit, Qian Mu, and Nirvana, had injured Gorefiend Prime, and he was forced to flee in the end.

    Even the Dark Coalition had issued a kill order to chase Gorefiend Prime out of the Dark Coalition.

    However, many people in the Dark Coalition still regarded Gorefiend Prime as one of the Primes in the alliance. Gorefiend Prime probably thought so too.

    This was because killing humans was his instinct and the fastest way to cultivate. If a fight between the Immortals from the two alliances was really triggered, Gorefiend Prime would be very happy to return and absorb blood during the war.

    However, Qin Feng really did not expect that such a dangerous existence would actually appear in the spatial rift that was connected to the Blue Star Realm. Fortunately, the Blue Star was too weak, and Gorefiend Prime¡¯s cultivation method was also bloodline power, he did not care about the few people and creatures on the Blue Star, so he never changed his form.

    Moreover, Gorefiend Prime had probably been sleeping all these years because the information that Qin Feng had about it was from thirty years ago.

    Thirty years was nothing to an existence that did not age or die, and could transcend the realm.

    Only at this moment did Gorefiend Prime finally wake up.

    After all, the energy life that Qin Feng had swallowed would probably take a year to recover. This was equivalent to one-thirtieth of his efforts over the years. How could Gorefiend Prime not be angry that he had wasted it just like that.

    In particr, when Gorefiend Prime regained his consciousness and sobered up, what he saw was not another Immortal, but an SSS-tier ability user with an ability core of nearly one thousand meters in diameter under his feet.

    ¡°An ant!¡±

    Even though Gorefiend Prime felt that Qin Feng¡¯s ability core was terrifying, the difference in life forms was destined to cause the difference in strength between the two of them. The strength of Gorefiend Prime was stronger than that of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal.

    However, Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability had evolved to the point where it could devour energy and life forms. Now, Qin Feng¡¯s improvement was no longer the same as when he faced the Giant Star Turtle Immortal.

    ¡°Would I be able to kill a Prime now?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s mind was shaken, and he was ready to make a move.

    After killing the Prime, he would have the ability to challenge the stronger Primes. At that time, he would not be afraid of Ahn Ping. He surely would not be willing to do anything for others, or let something like Qian Mu Prime taking the materials of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal happen again.

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    Qin Feng shouted. The dark energy dispersed. In the dark starglobe, there were nine shadows with human faces and snake bodies.

    The nine shadows pounced on Gorefiend Prime.

    ¡°I said you are an ant, but you don¡¯t believe me!¡±

    Gorefiend Prime was furious. Then, he raised his hand and pointed at Qin Feng.

    ¡°Blood Sacrifice! Sacrifice to the heavens!¡±

    In an instant, Qin Feng felt a powerful consciousness enveloping him through the universe. This power was terrifying.

    ¡°Internal force hard qi!¡±

    Qin Feng immediately used his internal force hard qi to protect himself. However, this consciousness was extremely powerful and instantlynded on Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    In the next moment, the blood in Qin Feng¡¯s body began to boil.

    Boom!

    Qin Feng¡¯s blood seemed to be filled with a violent energy before it exploded.

    In an instant, Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were blood-red and blood was seeping out from his entire body. Even the major arteries at his neck were directly ruptured.

    ¡°Gah!¡±

    Qin Feng spat outrge mouthfuls of blood into his internal force hard qi, causing it to be stained with blood.

    Qin Feng was heavily injured!

    This was the first time Qin Feng had suffered such serious injuries since his rebirth, to the point where his life was in danger.

    At this moment, Gorefiend Prime let out a sound of surprise. Clearly, he did not expect Qin Feng to still be alive.

    Gorefiend Prime was so powerful that all tribes with flesh and blood could not escape his control.

    Only Immortals could bring him harm.

    Qin Feng¡¯s ability was indeed very strong. He could even swallow Gorefiend Prime¡¯s blood. However, Gorefiend Prime was not afraid because in his eyes, Qin Feng was just an ant.

    Their levels of life were totally different.

    Gorefiend Prime could instantly control Qin Feng¡¯s life and death. Naturally, he called Qin Feng an ant.

    However, at this moment, Gorefiend Prime suddenly discovered that Qin Feng¡¯s body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    Qin Feng clutched at his heart. The explosion of blood just now had almost shattered his heart. However, at the same time, one of the dark beasts bit the corner of Gorefiend Prime¡¯s clothes. Those were all formed from the energy life of the Gorefiends.

    After swallowing Gorefiend Prime¡¯s energy in one gulp, Qin Feng felt like spring had returned to the Earth. His vitality was overflowing and rapidly replenished. As a result, all his injuries were healed.

    Not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength had increased by arge margin.

    ¡°Absorption Ability!¡±

    Qin Feng knew that Gorefiend Prime was not a creature like the Giant Star Turtle. Gorefiend Prime was extremely dangerous to Qin Feng, so if Qin Feng wanted to live, he could only continuously devour Gorefiend Prime¡¯s energy and life force.

    At this moment, Gorefiend Prime also understood something!

    Chapter 1068: Blood Cocoon

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is. However, this body of yours is also very good. After I absorb it, it will be enough to make up for what you¡¯ve swallowed!¡±

    As Gorefiend Prime spoke, countless blood-colored dragons suddenly appeared on his gigantic body and pounced toward Qin Feng.

    Using his consciousness to detonate Qin Feng¡¯s body was obviously not enough to kill Qin Feng.

    Thus, Gorefiend Prime intended to let his bloode into contact with Qin Feng andpletely detonate him.

    However, this time, it was exactly what Qin Feng wanted.

    The dark serpent-man opened its mouth and swallowed the blood. Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength also increased rapidly.

    Boom!

    .

    SSS1-tier physical strength.

    When the Gorefiend Prime saw that not only was Qin Feng not injured, but had be more courageous as he fought, and had even advanced, his expression instantly turned ugly. The power he released was even more powerful.

    However, these powers were actually unable to prate Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy hard qi. Instead, they fueled his dark power.

    ¡°Gorefiend Sacrificial Heaven!¡±

    The Gorefiend Prime could only release his consciousness again. This time, Qin Feng also had no way to dodge. That consciousness was omnipresent, causing Qin Feng¡¯s blood to explode once again.

    Boom!

    Several bloody holes burst open on Qin Feng¡¯s body, and Qin Feng was once again covered in injuries.

    However, this situation quickly eased up, and his body began to heal on its own. He was as good as new.

    Not only that, but this time, it was even faster.

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe that you can continue like this. You can have energy, but what about pain? Can you endure it?¡±

    The energy life form of an Immortal did not have any pain, but Qin Feng was still a body of flesh and blood. How could he endure it?

    The Gorefiend Prime crazily detonated the blood in Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    The attacks of the two were also released frequently.

    In the universe, ck colors and blood colors formed an alternatingrge that continuously destroyed and devoured.

    Qin Feng did not know how many times his blood had been detonated, whether it was dozens of times or hundreds of times. He could not count it anymore.

    However, as the battle continued, Qin Feng¡¯s strength became stronger and stronger. He had already advanced from the strength of an SSS1-tier to an SSS3-tier.

    Such an advancement was extremely terrifying.

    However, this was not surprising. When Qin Feng devoured the Gorefiend Prime¡¯s blood, it was equivalent to directly devouring an Immortal¡¯s resources. Just the death of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal was enough to allow Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength to leap to SSS-tier, the Gorefiend Prime was actually sending his own energy and life up for Qin Feng to devour.

    Qin Feng was already numb to the pain, but his consciousness was on the verge of being depleted.

    ¡°Hahaha, let¡¯s see how long you canst. You human, you¡¯ve really impressed me!¡± The Gorefiend Primeughed out loud. He had already sensed the weakening of Qin Feng¡¯s strength. The number of phantoms of the human-faced snakes had changed from nine to one.

    This was because Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was only at the SSS-tier, so he could notst long.

    When Qin Feng was unable to cast the Absorption Ability, it was the time for him to die.

    Gorefiend Prime firmly believed this.

    However, at this time, Qin Feng did not use the human-faced snake-body phantom of the Absorption Ability to attack Gorefiend Prime again. Instead, he raised his hand and took out arge saber from his back.

    The beast skin fell off and therge saber was revealed. The green material on it was obviously ordinary, but it gave off a very heavy feeling.

    ¡°This is...¡± Gorefiend Prime was knowledgeable and quickly realized something. This saber was actually made from the materials of an Immortal-level ultra beast.

    This made him very shocked.

    What was the origin of this human in front of him? Even if he was the descendant of an elite, those people might not be able to possess such a weapon. Who was so rich and powerful?

    This was simply impossible.

    At this moment, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was transmitted out.

    ¡°Gorefiend Prime, you only have half of the energy left in your body, right? If that¡¯s the case, I wonder how many sabers you can withstand!¡±

    As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Feng raised his Verdant Emperor Saber.

    In an instant, Gorefiend Prime sensed danger.

    ¡°Immortal Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber was infused with internal energy, and an iparably powerful spirit began to expand.

    The spirit of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal revealed a powerful might, and then pounced toward Gorefiend Prime as if they were going to die together.

    They were not truly going to die together, because at this moment, the spirit of the Giant Star Turtle Immortal was in the form of a saber light.

    Originally, Qin Feng was iparably small. Compared to Gorefiend Prime, his body was like a drop of dust.

    But now, the Giant Star Turtle Immortal¡¯s spirit was shed out along with the Verdant Emperor Saber, slicing through the universe. Powerful energy surged out and swept across the stars.

    The power of the star-ying iron was also unleashed.

    ¡°Not good!¡±

    Gorefiend Prime also realized something. In the next moment, the blood-colored robe on his body grew bigger and bigger. It tore through the universe and collided with the Giant Star Turtle Immortal¡¯s spirit.

    Boom!

    The blood tsunami was instantly shattered, and Gorefiend Prime¡¯s expression changed drastically.

    Even though the power of the Spirit Chain Rend had been blocked, the energy in Gorefiend Prime¡¯s body was instantly reduced by one-third. This meant that if Qin Feng released the Spirit Chain Rend again, the fourth sh would be the death of Gorefiend Prime.

    Most importantly, the star-yer hit his body. It had the power to cut stars. Although the realm core was hidden in his body, the weapon with the star-ying iron had power equivalent to killing the energy core with each strike.

    It was very likely that Gorefiend Prime would be killed by Qin Feng!

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe that you can still use such an ability a few more times!¡± Gorefiend Prime roared angrily. Then, his consciousness rapidly enveloped the blood that had been dispersed into the surroundings and drew back his own power.

    Gorefiend Prime was thinking that it was fortunate Qin Feng would not be able to use such power again.

    However, he was disappointed.

    Internal energy appeared on Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber once again.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The Giant Star Turtle¡¯s spirit appeared once again and charged over.

    Gorefiend Prime let out an angry roar, but his body quickly shrank to form a giant blood-colored cocoon. The spirit shed down on it.

    Buzz!

    The outer shell of the giant blood-colored cocoon quickly melted and became thinner. Finally, it turned into a translucent red color.

    However, one could see Gorefiend Prime from within the red color. He was now only two meters tall, and he looked just like a normal human. He raised his blood-w-like hand and drew a line through the air in the middle of the cocoon.

    In the next moment, a spatial rift appeared.

    Gorefiend Prime then quickly leaped into it.

    Boom!

    The Spirit Chain Rend instantly pierced through the outer shell of the cocoon. Then, it hit the top of the rift, tearing it into tens of thousands of meters long.

    ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡±

    Qin Feng did not know where Gorefiend Prime was going, but at this moment, Qin Feng definitely would not let Gorefiend Prime off.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body whistled through the universe and fell into the rift.

 Chapter 1069 - Nirvana Prime

    Chapter 1069: Nirvana Prime

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng passed through the rift. In the next moment, his vision changed, and he had appeared in a huge Floating City.

    Qin Feng was stunned. He instantly knew where he was!

    This was a modified stronghold, and it was the territory of the Dark Coalition.

    The Dark Coalition did not have a headquarters. There were a total of nine Floating Cities like this, and they were all rtively prosperous ces. There were many SSS-tier elites stationed there, and they could fend off void beasts.

    Only then could they manage all sorts of spatial travel routes, allowing the Dark Coalition tomunicate with many humans.

    Gorefiend Prime hade to one of the Floating Cities.

    .

    However, Gorefiend Prime had only opened a two-meter-long spatial rift, but because of Qin Feng¡¯s sh, the rift had expanded to ten thousand meters. At that moment, it tore through the sky above the Floating City. Cries of rm and roars of fury could be continuously heard.

    However, very soon, these sounds became the sounds of panic and begging for mercy.

    Qin Feng was only one step behind Gorefiend Prime. With this one step, Gorefiend Prime had already released a powerful consciousness. Even the blood in his body had flowed out and covered the entire Floating City.

    The scene of the legendary disaster thirty years ago appeared once again. Many ability users recognized what it was.

    ¡°Gorefiend Prime!¡±

    ¡°No, no, I don¡¯t want to die. Please spare my life!¡±

    ¡°Hurry!¡±

    However, these people were not Qin Feng. They had no way to escape, nor did they have the ability to block Gorefiend Prime¡¯s attack.

    Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!

    Countless ability users¡¯ bodies exploded and turned into blood mist. Then, the mist surged in Gorefiend Prime¡¯s direction. Obviously, it wanted to merge into Gorefiend Prime¡¯s body and strengthen Gorefiend Prime¡¯s energy and life force.

    The power of the fresh blood allowed his energy to recover quickly.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness let out a mocking tone.

    ¡°Gorefiend Prime, you¡¯re really courting death!¡±

    In the next moment, Qin Feng¡¯s Absorption Ability erupted once again.

    This time, Qin Feng did not summon the dark starglobe, nor did he release the phantom of a human-faced snake with offensive abilities. Instead, a ck vortex formed above his head.

    The vortex grew bigger and bigger, like a huge ck cloud that covered half of the Floating City.

    Then, the blood that was originally rushing toward Gorefiend Prime turned around and headed toward Qin Feng.

    Not only that, the energy of those who had died was also sucked into it. In the blink of an eye, it had absorbed the internal energy crystal cores, energy cores, and even ability cores of hundreds of people.

    Then, the vortex dropped pure energy into Qin Feng¡¯s head and it fell into his dantian.

    The internal energy frozen stars recovered rapidly.

    When Gorefiend Prime saw this, his eyes widened. His originally blood-red eyes were now raging with madness and anger.

    Qin Feng¡¯s every move seemed to be restraining him, greatly weakening his strength. It was not easy to find an opportunity to absorb the power of flesh and blood, but Qin Feng had actually absorbed half of it.

    Preposterous!

    However, Gorefiend Prime had no way to stop him, so he could only fight with Qin Feng. However, Qin Feng could release his ability and at the same time, release his ancient martial arts.

    Thus, a terrifying attack erupted once again.

    ¡°Immortal Spirit Chain rend!¡±

    In an instant, the Giant Star Turtle Immortal¡¯s Spirit descended once again andnded on Gorefiend Prime¡¯s body, sending Gorefiend Prime flying from the Floating City into the universe.

    However, the air current from the Verdant Emperor Saber suppressed the Floating City. The energy wave swept over the Floating City, instantly destroying all the buildings.

    Creak! Creak! Creak!

    The Floating City let out an ear-piercing sound, and in the next moment, it exploded.

    The Floating City had been destroyed!

    All the ability users on it had died. Not a single one was left alive.

    The moment Gorefiend Primended on the Floating City, the Floating City was doomed. There was no one left alive.

    At this moment, Gorefiend Prime¡¯s heart was beating wildly. He was going all out.

    ¡°I don¡¯t believe that you can keep chasing me!¡±

    This time, Gorefiend Prime did not even hide. He tore through the void and jumped to another realm.

    Qin Feng naturally followed closely behind.

    Soon, they arrived at another realm. It was another Floating City.

    Gorefiend Prime ughtered all the people in this Floating City. Before he could absorb all the flesh and blood, half of it was snatched away by Qin Feng. Then, he brandished his saber and fought again.

    It was the same for the third Floating City.

    At this time, half a day had already passed. Qin Feng chased after him, and Gorefiend Prime would escape. He had destroyed three Floating Cities, but there would always be survivors to tell the tale. The news of Gorefiend Prime¡¯s return spread like wildfire.

    When the higher-ups of the Dark Coalition heard this news, they were all stunned. Soon after, anger rose in their hearts.

    Although the Dark Coalition was cruel, resources were not something that could be obtained just by killing people and setting fire to them. Therefore, at the top level, these Immortals did not want the Dark Coalition to kill too much.

    They did not expect that Gorefiend Prime, who had been defeated thirty years ago, would not give up and make aeback.

    This was a provocation to the other Primes and a vition of their bottom line.

    One of the Primes immediately headed to a Floating City and waited there.

    At the same time, Gorefiend Prime also arrived at this Floating City.

    Just as Gorefiend Prime was about to release his consciousness, he suddenly felt an extremely powerful and threatening power. It caused all of the energy life forms in his body to tremble. It was unknown whether it was excitement or fear.

    In the next moment, countless sword qi appeared in the void.

    After that, a figure appeared. It was Nirvana Prime.

    Nirvana Prime was an extremely powerful Dark-Night Tribe.

    His skin was dark and his eyes were blood-red. He was born with the power of darkness. He could hide in the shadows and be one with the darkness.

    At the same time, this race was born with a stronger body than the others. Therefore, they could cultivate internal energy and had a powerful body.

    Nirvana Prime was the strongest killer.

    In his hands, there was no one who could not be killed, unless that person was also a Prime.

    At this moment, seeing Nirvana Prime attack, Gorefiend Prime could not care less.

    ¡°Gorefiend Explosion!¡±

    With a boom, Gorefiend Prime¡¯s body exploded and pushed Nirvana Prime out.

    This move consumed the energy in his body again. However, the Immortal was not weakened as the blood rain in the sky gathered again and turned into Gorefiend Prime¡¯s body.

    Nirvana Prime did not approach him again. Although Gorefiend Prime did not cause much damage to him, Gorefiend Prime¡¯s attack was very ruthless. It was really not in line with his usual style.

    ¡°Nirvana, this doesn¡¯t concern you. Don¡¯te and cause trouble. Otherwise, I will fight to the death!¡±

    No expression could be seen on Nirvana Prime¡¯s face. However, his consciousness was extremely cold as he said, ¡°You stop the massacre.¡±

    These members of the Darkness Coalition were still useful to Nirvana Prime. Even the members of the Darkness Coalition could not be killed like this.

    Gorefiend Prime was obviously very hesitant. At this moment, another figure appeared in the spatial rift.

    It was Qin Feng.

    Gorefiend Prime¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed at Qin Feng and said, ¡°Nirvana, kill him and I¡¯ll stop.¡±

 Chapter 1070 - Immortals have Gathered

    Chapter 1070: Immortals have Gathered

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Nirvana Prime was stunned and turned to look at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng naturally heard Gorefiend Prime¡¯s willpower, and he looked at Nirvana Prime almost at the same time.

    In an instant, Qin Feng recognized this person¡¯s identity.

    Nirvana Prime, Dark-Night Tribe.

    Not only that, Nirvana Prime and the other Immortals gave Qin Feng a different feeling.

    Ahn Ping Prime and Gorefiend Prime¡¯s energy life gave people a sense of suppression at the level of life. It made people feel that this was an existence that was superior to others. It was like a rabbit seeing a tiger. The instinctive fear and aura was enough to make a rabbit wet its pants.

    .

    However, Nirvana Prime¡¯s aura was actually silent.

    At this moment, Nirvana Prime was looking at Qin Feng, but he did not care at all. This was because Qin Feng was a mortal with an SSS-tier ability. Although Nirvana Prime thought that Gorefiend Prime was joking, he raised his wrist and slightly waved the short sword in his hand toward Qin Feng.

    In the next moment, a stream of sword qi was released.

    However, Nirvana Prime¡¯s eyes never left Gorefiend Prime¡¯s body.

    ¡°I killed him. Now You... Hmm?¡±

    Nirvana Prime¡¯s consciousness suddenly stopped. At this moment, he did not need to look. His consciousness could clearly sense what had just happened.

    The move that Nirvana Prime made casually were extremely terrifying. It was formless, transforming into sword qi that shot toward Qin Feng.

    Such power was nothing to an Immortal, but to an SSS-tier ability user, it was extremely terrifying.

    It was an extremely terrifying power that no one could withstand.

    However, the instant Qin Feng sensed that Nirvana Prime was attacking, he had already raised the Verdant Emperor Saber. He poured his internal energy into it and unleashed the Immortal Spirit Chain Rend.

    However, the moment the Immortal Spirit Chain Rend appeared, it was struck by Nirvana Prime¡¯s attack and quickly dissipated.

    Boom!

    Energy burst forth and swept through the surroundings.

    Qin Feng managed to block it.

    However, the rift behind Qin Feng was instantly shattered, as were the buildings and hovercrafts on the Floating City.

    The two enormous energies collided and swept high into the sky. The protective barrier was instantly shattered from the inside.

    Saber light and sword shadows entered the universe.

    The iparably distant stars were all cut into two halves by this move.

    The power that Nirvana Prime released afterward caused Qin Feng to go all out. Furthermore, more than half of the power that was shed toward the stars was Nirvana Prime¡¯s.

    This was enough to prove how powerful Nirvana Prime was.

    However, under such circumstances, what shocked Nirvana Prime was that Qin Feng had blocked his casual attack.

    In the eyes of Nirvana Prime, Qin Feng was only an SSS-tier ability user after all.

    At this moment, Qin Feng was on high alert. Although the internal energy in his body had recovered fully after Gorefiend Prime had ughtered all the Dark Coalition members in the three Floating Cities, it was still not enough to deal with two Immortals. If Nirvana Prime were to help Gorefiend Prime, Qin Feng would be the one running away now.

    Immortals were also divided into strong and weak ones. Moreover, Gorefiend Prime had injured his foundation during the great battle thirty years ago. The internal energy in his body was not sufficient, so the power he released was naturally reduced.

    However, Nirvana Prime was different. His strength was quite formidable, and Qin Feng was no match for him!

    However, Nirvana Prime did not know anything about Gorefiend Prime, nor did he know about Qin Feng.

    ¡°Interesting!¡± Nirvana Prime said with his consciousness.

    He stopped attacking, and the scene froze for a moment. Neither Qin Feng nor Gorefiend Prime moved.

    In the Floating City, the street where the three of them stood was silent, but the consciousness from afar was clear.

    ¡°Run, Gorefiend Prime is here.¡±

    ¡°Nirvana Prime! It was Nirvana Prime who attacked and blocked Gorefiend Prime.¡±

    ¡°What attack was that?¡±

    Some ability users were terrified and quickly opened a spatial passage to escape. However, there were some who were brave enough to stay behind and watch this battle.

    After all, it was a battle between Immortals. Furthermore, it was a battle between humans. It was simply too rare an asion.

    The battle thirty years ago had been talked about with great interest. If one could witness the battle of Immortals with their own eyes, not only would they have the ability to brag, they would also be able to prove their strength and not retreat under the pressure of Immortals.

    However, these people were also afraid of death, so they could not stay in the Floating City any longer. They all quickly left the Floating City and entered the universe, but their consciousness was still paying attention to this ce.

    In the blink of an eye, the people in the Floating City were all gone.

    At this moment, a rift appeared in the void. Then, a golden light shed, and a human figure that was one thousand meters tall stepped out.

    ¡°Qian Mu Prime!¡±

    When the people from the Dark Coalition saw him, they immediately cried out in surprise.

    Not only that, on the other side, a skull had also appeared. Then, it opened its mouth and formed a spatial tunnel.

    This iconic scene immediately let people know the identity of the other party.

    Wraith Devil Prime.

    Wraith Devil Prime was of the Wraith Devil Tribe. This was also the root of this tribe¡¯s unlimited development.

    The four Immortals of the Dark Coalition had actually arrived at this moment.

    For a moment, they were the focus of everyone¡¯s attention.

    Qian Mu Prime looked at the three shrunken figures in the Floating City. Finally, his gazended on the only human who was not an Immortal. Then, he was slightly stunned.

    ¡°Xuan Feng, why are you here?¡±

    After all, Qin Feng had justpleted a mission for Qian Mu Prime half a month ago. Qian Mu Prime would not have forgotten about this strong SSS-tier ability user.

    ¡°Sir, I am killing a wanted criminal of the Dark Coalition!¡±

    Qin Feng said righteously. His gaze alsonded on Gorefiend Prime.

    At this moment, the four Immortals present were all stunned. The ability users in the distant universe was also stunned by this sentence.

    However, very quickly, some people thought of something.

    ¡°Thirty years ago, when Gorefiend Prime left, it seems like the Dark Coalition did issue a wanted notice.¡±

    ¡°But who would kill Immortals? What benefits would there be? We are not people from the Human Alliance, what reward would there be?¡±

    ¡°He actually chased after Gorefiend Prime. Don¡¯t joke around, what a clown.¡±

    Most of the ability users in the Dark Coalition did not believe Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    However, at this moment, Gorefiend Prime said, ¡°Your name is Xuan Feng, right? I¡¯ll forget about what happened today. What do you want? Just say it.¡±

    Although Gorefiend Prime did not say it clearly, it was clear that this sentence meant that Gorefiend Prime was lowering his head toward Qin Feng.

    A dignified Immortal was actually bowing to an SSS-tier ability user. This was truly too inconceivable.

    But that was what was happening. It had already happened before their eyes.

 Chapter 1071 - Slaying a Prime

    Chapter 1071: ying a Prime

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°What I want, Gorefiend Prime, can¡¯t you see it now?¡±

    Qin Feng did not hide it. Up until now, the means to increase one¡¯s strength were usually very cruel. Being in the Dark Coalition, it was a ce like thew of the jungle. Natural selection was natural selection, and only the fittest survived.

    Qin Feng said indifferently, ¡°My physique isn¡¯t strong enough. Otherwise, why would I let you hurt me? I want your Immortal core to increase my strength. What do you think?¡±

    Everyone was in an uproar.

    Qin Feng¡¯s words were really too arrogant and challenged their understanding a great deal.

    An SSS-tier ability user actually wanted the life of an Immortal to fill his body just because his physique was weak. Was this really not a joke?

    .

    The blood in Gorefiend Prime¡¯s body instantly boiled. He had also vaguely realized why Qin Feng attacked him. But now, hearing it, it was as if he was a pig and a sheep. Just because Qin Feng was hungry, he swung his saber and wanted to kill him.

    How could he not be angry?

    However, while he was angry, he was also extremely fearful. Following that, his gazended on the other Immortals, and his consciousness rumbled.

    ¡°Qian Mu, you know this person, yet you still don¡¯t want to stop him. If the Dark Coalition loses an Immortal, you should know how big the impact is.¡±

    Qian Mu Prime looked at Gorefiend Prime, and then looked at Qin Feng. However, he did not speak. His golden eyes flickered incessantly.

    Everything in front of him had indeed shocked him.

    His previous guess had now been answered. Back then, the Giant Star Turtle Immortal had lost his energy because of Qin Feng, and he had been killed in one fell swoop.

    Moreover, he had been on good terms with Qin Feng. However, Gorefiend Prime had ughtered his Dora Tribe thirty years ago.

    However, helping an Immortal or an aptitude user was a difficult decision to make.

    After a moment of hesitation, Qian Mu Prime let out a chuckle. In the next moment, his consciousness was transmitted out as well.

    ¡°Ha, the Dark Coalition had already lost you, Gorefiend Prime, thirty years ago. I thought that you wouldn¡¯t be participating in the selection of the new Immortal this time. In that case, what difference would it make if you were here or not?¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart trembled. The Divine Lake Realm was a realm for the selection of the new Immortals?

    This news was something Qin Feng had always wanted to investigate. He did not expect that he would casually receive it from Qian Mu Prime¡¯s mouth.

    When Gorefiend Prime heard Qian Mu¡¯s words, he felt hatred in his heart. Then, he looked at Nirvana Prime.

    ¡°Nirvana, didn¡¯t you want to stop me from killing those ants? If you help me kill him, I will stop. In the future, I promise you that I will not act within the territory of the Dark Coalition.¡±

    In Gorefiend Prime¡¯s opinion, since Nirvana did not kill Qin Feng with the strike earlier, he might be upset about it and might attack again. As long as Nirvana became serious, Qin Feng would definitely die.

    Qin Feng was also nervous at this moment. Nirvana Prime was very strong. Qin Feng naturally did not want Nirvana Prime to make a move.

    ¡°Rather than trusting a butcher¡¯s promise, why not just kill this person? Wouldn¡¯t it over and done with once and for all? If you die, no one will kill the ability users of the Dark Coalition anymore.¡± Qin Feng transmitted his consciousness. Although he spoke to Gorefiend Prime, everyone knew that this sentence was meant for Nirvana Prime.

    Nirvana Prime nced at Qin Feng. That sword attack just now had left a deep impression on him.

    ¡°You¡¯re right. I agree!¡± Nirvana Prime then stepped backward. In the blink of an eye, his body grewrger and transformed into a ck giant. He stepped into the universe and watched alongside Qian Mu Prime and Wraith Devil Prime.

    However, his consciousness once again released a message.

    ¡°Perhaps the Dark Coalition will have another Prime!¡±

    Everyone present knew who this person was.

    Nirvana Prime was talking about Qin Feng.

    The spectating ability users in the universe could not believe that Nirvana Prime thought so highly of this SSS-tier ability user. He even thought that he might be the new Prime.

    After all, Primes had never spoken of such things before.

    None of them knew what it took to be a Prime. All they knew was that in the past few centuries, no new Prime had appeared in the Dark Coalition.

    It was simply too difficult.

    Just as everyone thought that Gorefiend Prime would definitely fight this ability user today, Wraith Devil Prime began tough loudly in the void, ¡°Interesting, this is too interesting. Gorefiend, why don¡¯t you ask me? I actually feel that this little fellow¡¯s body is pretty good, and his soul is also very good. Why don¡¯t you leave him to me?¡±

    Gorefiend Prime was instantly overjoyed.

    Qin Feng¡¯s brows suddenly furrowed. He never expected that Wraith Devil Prime would actually want to help Gorefiend Prime while Qian Mu Prime and Nirvana Prime were watching from the side.

    However, when he thought of the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand, Qin Feng¡¯s eyes turned sharp.

    ¡°Let¡¯s see what you can do!¡±

    The ability starglobe in Qin Feng¡¯s body rumbled. The second frozen star was sucked out and merged into the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    The Immortal Spirit Chain Rend was unleashed.

    The Spirit Chain Rend had a restraining effect on all spirit-type creatures. Qin Feng¡¯s attack power had reached the strength of an Immortal. The Verdant Emperor Saber was the saber of an Immortal. Most importantly, every time Qin Feng attacked, a frozen star¡¯s internal energy would explode.

    With the purity of a frozen star, it was ten times thebat power of other elites of the same level.

    This was equivalent to Qin Feng having ten times thebat power of an Immortal with an energy core that was a hundred meters in diameter.

    This was also the fundamental reason why he was able to injure an Immortal.

    This de sted out, shattering the void space. The enormous Giant Star Turtle¡¯s spirit swooped down.

    The ghost fire in Wraith Devil Prime¡¯s eyes flickered, as if his eyes were wide open. He could not believe that Qin Feng would be so bold as to attack a Prime like him.

    However, the attack was simply too powerful. Wraith Devil Prime suddenly summoned an enormous skull, which exploded with energy and bit down on the Giant Star Turtle¡¯s spirit.

    However, in the next moment, Wraith Devil Prime felt his energy rapidly weakening, and he began to move even faster. By the time he used even more of his life force, the Spirit Chain Rend was already right in front of him, with a third of its power remaining.

    Boom!

    In the blink of an eye, Wraith Devil Prime¡¯s body was struck by the de light.

    Energy ripples exploded out, sweeping across the universe.

    At the same time, even the ability users who were the furthest away could see Wraith Devil Prime¡¯s enormous body. After being struck by the de light, his body became semi-transparent.

    The de light pierced through his body and stopped at the center. A semi-transparent dark starglobe that emanated a dark aura suddenly flickered, and a de mark was left on it.

    That was the core of an Immortal.

    Qin Feng¡¯s de light hit the core of an Immortal.

    The consciousness of Wraith Devil Prime roared in the universe.

    ¡°Star-ying iron!¡±

    How could an experienced Immortal not recognize something that could hurt them.

    Star-ying iron could kill an Immortal.

    At this moment, Qian Mu Prime¡¯s golden eyes shone with boundless light. He raised his eyelids in shock.

    He had given Qin Feng the star-ying iron.

    He originally thought that he would only be able to use it after a hundred years, but he did not expect that in just half a month¡¯s time, Qin Feng had already fused the star-ying iron into his weapon.

    To be able to kill an Immortal, not only did he need the star-ying iron, his weapon would also have to be at least at the level of an Immortal.

    ¡°Hiss!¡±

    Even Qian Mu Prime was shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s methods. He also suspected that Qin Feng had the support of some elite behind him.

    Even though the Immortals of the Dark Coalition were here, there were as many Immortals as the number of stars in the billions of realms. Qian Mu Prime did not know the background of this Xuan Feng.

    And at this moment, after Qin Feng shed at Wraith Devil Prime, a dark starglobe suddenly appeared beneath his feet. After this starglobe appeared, even the Floating City could not withstand it and was enveloped in darkness.

    The phantom of the human-faced snake appeared from the starglobe and coiled around Gorefiend Prime..

    ¡°No!!!¡± Gorefiend Prime roared angrily. However, this time, he was powerless to reverse the situation.

    Previously, in order not to show weakness, he had already unleashed most of his energy to withstand one attack from Nirvana Prime. Therefore, he did not have much energy left and was just bluffing.

    ¡°Wraith Devil, save me!¡±

    Gorefiend Prime¡¯s consciousness frantically transmitted his thoughts.

    However, Wraith Devil Prime was clearly hesitating.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber was pointed at Wraith Devil Prime.

    The saber light on the Verdant Emperor Saber appeared once again. The spirit of the Immortal had appeared but was not released.

    This was a warning. It was as if it was saying that if Wraith Devil Prime took a step forward, Qin Feng would not mind and give him another blow.

    At this moment, the other ability users in the universe werepletely shocked by what Qin Feng had done.

    The phantom was entangling Gorefiend Prime, and the saber light in his hand was threatening Wraith Devil Prime.

    Fighting one against two was terrifying.

    Strong!

    He was too strong.

    Wraith Devil Prime¡¯s expression was solemn and even more ferocious.

    However, the weapon made of star-ying iron had already made him suffer a loss and made him hesitate.

    Furthermore, the rtionship between Wraith Devil Prime and Gorefiend Prime was not good enough for the former to risk his life to save thetter. Also, Wraith Devil Prime was only trying to take advantage of him.

    However, he had failed to take advantage of the situation. Clearly, Wraith Devil Prime would not do that now.

    After struggling for a moment, Wraith Devil Prime took a step back.

    This step was a clear indication of his stance.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Verdant Emperor Saber suddenly changed direction as he shed down toward Gorefiend Prime.

    Gorefiend Prime had been fighting back against the phantom with his blood, but now, he could not take it any longer!

    Boom!

    The Immortal Spirit Chain Rend exploded in the universe,pletely destroying the Floating City.

    Gorefiend Prime¡¯s body was still sustaining the saber¡¯s light, but it had already begun to bend. Soon, the area around his waist and abdomen began to grow thinner and thinner. In the end, he was cut in half by the saber.

    This was the end of his life force.

    An enormous blood-colored core appeared, which waspletely made up of blood power.

    Boom!

    Gorefiend Prime¡¯s body exploded like a blood-red firework. There were no internal organs or bones, only blood power.

    The power of blood fell into the void and came into contact with the runes, instantly turning into strange life forms. Gorefiend Prime had killed countless lives, and after death, his body turned into life. This was a cycle.

    However, Qin Feng had put in so much effort. Naturally, it was not for Gorefiend Prime to be reincarnated, or for the ability users to fight each other for power, but for resources. Giving these resources to Qin Feng was a kind of transfer.

    ¡°Absorption Ability!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability erupted. Ten phantoms with human faces and snake bodies opened their mouths wide, devouring all of Gorefiend Prime¡¯s blood in the universe. Not a single drop was left.

    ¡°No!!!¡±

    It was as if a soul was roaring furiously, but gradually, itpletely dissipated.

    The immortality of an Immortal could also be reflected in this aspect. Even if the core of an Immortal was crushed, as long as a sliver of energy life form managed to escape, they could start all over again. Unfortunately, Gorefiend Prime did not have this chance anymore.

    Qin Feng did not let go of a single drop of blood,pletely annihting Gorefiend Prime.

    At this moment, Gorefiend Prime was truly dead.

    The death of an Immortal should have caused a hugemotion. Even a drop of an Immortal¡¯s blood could be snatched. However, in the universe, the ability users did not dare to move, and the Immortals did not move either.

    Nirvana, Qian Mu, and Wraith Devil watched as Qin Feng devoured all of Gorefiend Prime¡¯s blood. In the next moment, Qin Feng¡¯s body began to strengthen, and his strength rose steadily.

    Boom!

    SSS4-tier divine level physique.

    Boom!

    SSS5-tier divine level physique!

    Boom!

    The human-faced snake body¡¯s dark ability devoured all the blood, allowing Qin Feng to advance to SSS6-tier divine level physique. However, the dark energy was wrapped around another existence.

    It was Gorefiend Prime¡¯s core.

    This was a core of an Immortal that had a diameter of three hundred meters. Even if Gorefiend Prime was injured, his Immortal core was still very huge. It was definitely not the core of a new Immortal that had a diameter of one hundred meters.

    But now, this core was rapidly melting. The speed at which it was melting was terrifying.

    And Qin Feng¡¯s strength was also constantly increasing.

    For three hours, the three Immortals were watching in the universe. Countless thoughts were floating in the hearts of every Immortal.

    And some other ability users saw with their own eyes an SSS3-tier ability user who only used a few hours to increase his strength, and only stopped when he reached SSS9-tier.

    These ability users could also see that Qin Feng¡¯s advancement was truly a perfect breakthrough.

    In their minds, they could not help but think of Qin Feng¡¯s words from before.

    ¡°My physique isn¡¯t strong enough yet. I want your Immortal core to increase my own strength!¡±

    In the ears of those ability users, these words were words that could make peopleugh their heads off. But now, they only felt that their knowledge was shallow and shortsighted.

    This person really did it!

    At this moment, Qin Feng also opened his eyes.

    The strength of his physical body had already reached its peak. This time, Qin Feng felt a terrifying barrier. He knew that his physical body no longer had the possibility of evolving.

    If he wanted to advance further, he would have to change his life form.

    Only by turning his flesh and blood into energy life form would he be able to advance further.

    At that time, it would be the time for him to be an Immortal.

    Qin Feng withdrew the dark starglobe under his feet and then looked at Qian Mu Prime.

    At this moment, Qian Mu Prime felt his heart tremble. He had a feeling of dread and rising goosebumps. Even though he was now an energy life form, it was uncertain whether he could have goosebumps or not.

    ¡°Congrattions, Xuan Feng!¡± Qian Mu Prime¡¯s consciousness tried its best to convey a friendly message, then, he said, ¡°In three months, the Divine Lake Realm will open. I believe that Xuan Feng, if you bathe in the Divine Lake, you will definitely be able to advance to an Immortal. It seems that there will indeed be a new Immortal appearing in our Dark Coalition.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s interest was piqued. This was what he was concerned about.

 Chapter 1073 - Arrest Xue Xingfu

    Chapter 1073: Arrest Xue Xingfu

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    ¡°Thank you, Qian Mu Prime. If you need anything, feel free toe find me!¡± Qin Feng said.

    However, as he said this, Qian Mu Prime could not possibly think like he did half a month ago when he thought that he had recruited an underling for himself.

    On the contrary, from now on, Qin Feng¡¯sbat power would inevitably sweep away some creatures. Even Qian Mu Prime could not do it.

    It was at this moment that Nirvana Prime looked deeply at Qin Feng, but did not say anything. Instead, he tore open a rift, then turned around and disappeared.

    On the other side, Wraith Devil Prime raised his hand, and an illusory skull appeared in the universe, wrapping around him. The skull then slowly retreated, bing smaller and smaller as it pierced through space and left.

    After all, the Dark Coalition was different from the human alliance.. If an Immortal appeared in the Human Alliance, they would definitely gather together and get to know each other. They might even be friendly with each other. However, in the Dark Coalition, it was already quite rare for them not to fight and kill each other.

    This was also the reason why when Gorefiend Prime appeared, Nirvana Prime gave him a sword strike.

    After seeing the two Immortals leave, Qin Feng then said, ¡°I am also very curious about the Divine Lake Realm. Previously, someone told me that in order to advance into an Immortal, one must go to the Divine Lake Realm. I don¡¯t know what the spatial waymark of this realm is. Could it be that I can only be brought there by an Immortal?¡±

    When Qian Mu Prime heard that Qin Feng did not know anything about Primes, he dismissed the idea that the other party was a descendant of Primes. However, even if he was not, the current Qin Feng was not someone to be trifled with.

    ¡°The opening of the Divine Lake Realm is not fixed. The most important thing is that it is too vast. The energy of the universe is iparably violent. Furthermore, the divine liquid can only be produced when the realm has been unified for ten years. When that timees, billions of tribes will snatch it. Without Immortals, even if you know the entrance, how will you reach it?¡±

    ¡°Billions of tribes?¡± Qin Feng was shocked.

    Qian Mu Prime nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Including the ultra beasts and the insectoids, they will all be heading there. That¡¯s the scariest part. At that time, we will also join forces with the Primes of the Human Alliance. However, no one knows how many of them will make it out alive.¡±

    Qin Feng frowned.

    They were actually going to join forces with the human Primes.

    Qian Mu Prime saw Qin Feng¡¯s expression, but he did not know what Qin Feng was thinking. He thought that Qin Feng was having doubts. Instead, heforted Qin Feng.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to think too much. With your strength, you will definitely defeat billions of tribes and be an Immortal.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll have to trouble Qian Mu Prime. We¡¯ll meet again in three months!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡±

    After the two of them had finished speaking, they tore through the void and left this ce. As for whether the Floating City would be destroyed or whether it would be built again, Qian Mu Prime would not care about such matters.

    Only the ability users who stayed behind had witnessed this historic battle. Their emotions surged, and they even spread out at the speed of light.

    Qin Feng did not know any of this.

    He also did not know that along with today¡¯s battle, the title of Demon Xuan Feng Prime had spread throughout the Dark Coalition. He was known as a quasi-prime.

    ***

    Blue Star Realm, Fengli City.

    This city became extremely lively after Qin Feng became the number one person on the Blue Star Realm. What they did not know was what kind of battle the master of Fengli City had just experienced.

    Qin Fengy in the vi and fell into a deep sleep.

    Even though his body was at its peak, Qin Feng¡¯s battle this time was extremely terrifying.

    The pain was imprinted in his soul, and the pain from the explosion of his blood made him tired. He could finally have a good rest.

    Qin Feng slept for seven days and seven nights.

    On the other side, in the Human Alliance, Xue Xingfu bought a high-grade realm.

    The amount of resources Qin Feng had obtained was extremelyrge, and Xue Xingfu became more and morefortable in the Human Alliance. He got to know many merchants, and this time, he made a deal with an SSS-tier elite.

    There were no humans in this realm at the moment, and the resources were quite abundant. The realm core was at least one hundred meters in diameter.

    After Xue Xingfu bought it, he immediately looked for Bai Li.

    The two of them quickly stepped into this realm.

    ¡°Wait for me outside!¡± Bai Li instructed. This was not the first time the two of them had done this, so Xue Xingfu quickly flew into the universe and looked at the realm under his feet.

    Following that, the realm shook, and cracks appeared on the ground, as if it was about to copse.

    This meant that Bai Li had already obtained the realm¡¯s core.

    Spatial beasts were just that overbearing.

    However, at this moment, dozens of spatial rifts suddenly appeared in the sky above this realm. The cracks opened up, and one aptitude users after another flew out.

    Not only that, the strength of these aptitude users was quite formidable. All of them were SS-tier aptitude users. There was even one person whose strength was at SSS-tier.

    Moreover, this SSS-tier aptitude users was actually Shao Dongfeng, who had a grudge with Qin Feng.

    Shao Dongfeng¡¯s perception swept across the realm. Seeing that the realm was shaking, he instantly understood something. Following that, his perception saw Xue Xingfu. His body immediately rose high up into the air and entered the universe.

    Then, a powerful pressure was pressed down on Xue Xingfu¡¯s body.

    ¡°Xue Xingfu, is it? On behalf of the Human Alliance headquarters, I¡¯m officially arresting you!¡± Shao Dongfeng said in a deep voice.

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s back was bent under the pressure, but he still gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Arrest me? Why? What rules have I broken?¡±

    Shao Dongfeng sneered as he said, ¡°Witnesses and evidence are gathered here, and you still want to deny it? ording to our investigation results, this isn¡¯t the first time you¡¯ve destroyed the core of a realm. The more than fifty realm you¡¯ve touched have all copsed. I even suspect that you¡¯re a spy from the Dark Coalition!¡±

    Xue Xingfu listened to Shao Dongfeng¡¯s words. The former usation was indeed true, but the matter of being a spy from the Dark Coalition was nder.

    ¡°These realms have been discovered by other aptitude users. ording to the rules of the Human Alliance, those who discover the realms have the right to deal with the realms and register as the owners of the realms. I use normal channels to purchase the realms. Every realm has a level. How I deal with these realms is my own business. There are no wisdom tribes in these realms, so why can¡¯t I take away the realms¡¯ cores?¡±

    Xue Xingfu was a businessman, but he also knew that in this world where the strong ruled, no matter how rich a businessman was, it was useless. Therefore, he was very careful so that no one could find any evidence against him.

    However, this time, Shao Dongfeng clearly came prepared.

    ¡°Who said that there are no wisdom tribes in this realm?¡±

    As he said this, Shao Dongfeng raised his hand, and within the copsed realm, there was a tribe that was running toward the spatial rift so that they could escape and survive. An A-tier Cannibal was then captured by Shao Dongfeng into the universe.

    With the strength of this Cannibal Tribe, it was impossible for it to live in the universe. Therefore, as soon as it stepped in, it clutched at its neck, and then it entire body began to burn. Its body festered, and finally, it turned into an ugly corpse.

    ¡°Isn¡¯t this a wisdom tribe?¡±

 Chapter 1074 - Framing

    Chapter 1074: Framing

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s anger surged in his heart. Since when did Cannibals be a wisdom tribe in the Human Alliance?!

    Shao Dongfeng was looking for trouble for no reason.

    However, Xue Xingfu had no way of resisting.

    After all, he was an S-tier ability user, while the other party was an SSS-tier. In terms of strength, he was an ant that the other party could easily crush.

    Right now, Xue Xingfu was only hoping that Shao Dongfeng would not kill him so quickly. It would be fine as long as Bai Li appeared.

    However, at this moment, shao Dongfeng opened his mouth and said, ¡°However, this matter isn¡¯t impossible to amodate. Hand over the realm cores from before and pay a fine as well. Then, I¡¯ll let you go.. In the future, if you want to purchase a realm and extract the ability core, you must hand over half of it.¡±

    When Xue Xingfu heard this, he finally understood how today¡¯s matter had happened.

    A man with wealth would be guilty if he did notmit a crime.

    Xue Xingfu had made severalrge-scale acquisitions, and then the realms were shattered. Not everyone could have such means.

    Using the Prime¡¯s ship to go down and absorb the realm core waspletely different from taking it out. There was still that violent energy liquid.

    However, when Shao Dongfeng noticed Xue Xingfu¡¯s actions, he immediately felt that there was probably an existence in Xue Xingfu¡¯s hands that was not afraid of the violent energy liquid. It was very likely that he had contracted a divine level spatial beast.

    If possible, Shao Dongfeng would naturally want to snatch the other party¡¯s spatial beast, but that would not be easy.

    If that was the case, Shao Dongfeng could only choose another method. He intended to ckmail Xue Xingfu.

    Ever since Ahn Ping Prime and Shao Dongfeng had made the final deal, Shao Dongfeng had no way of getting any benefits from Ahn Ping Prime. Fortunately, Xue Xingfu, this fatmb, had delivered himself to his doorstep. This was like a pie falling from the sky.

    In order to appear imposing, Shao Dongfeng had even brought over a dozen subordinates. This kind of lineup had indeed caused an impact on Xue Xingfu.

    However, at this moment, a white shadow shed beside them, and a devastatingly beautiful woman appeared beside Xue Xingfu.

    ¡°Lady Bai Li!¡±

    Xue Xingfu immediately cried out as if he had found his savior.

    At this moment, Shao Dongfeng also looked at Bai Li, and his heart began to race.

    It was not Bai Li¡¯s appearance that made his heart race, but because of Bai Li¡¯s aura.

    Because of Bai Li¡¯s consciousness, it was very easy for people to ignore her. However, when she treated the other party as an enemy, that person would also feel her terror.

    ¡°Spatial beast!¡± Shao Dongfeng said with his consciousness.

    This was a humanoid spatial beast, and its strength was definitely no weaker than Shao Dongfeng¡¯s.

    ¡°Shao Dongfeng, are you here to court death?¡± Bai Li said indifferently.

    ¡°Do you know me?¡± Shao Dongfeng did not know Bai Li.

    Shao Dongfeng only personally went to make things difficult for Qin Feng after Qin Feng had received the peace contest reward, but Bai Li never made an appearance.

    However, Qin Feng would naturally tell Bai Li about these things. Bai Li had seen Shao Dongfeng¡¯s appearance before.

    As for Xue Xingfu, he had always concealed his identity. Qin Feng also did not deliberately talk about the grudge between him and Shao Dongfeng. Otherwise, if Xue Xingfu were to act like he cared, it would only bring danger instead.

    Therefore, Xue Xingfu did not know Shao Dongfeng, but Bai Li did.

    ¡°You don¡¯t know me, but you should know Qin Feng, right?¡± Bai Li said indifferently.

    Qin Feng¡¯s current strength was already enough to defeat Immortals. Although he would not go so far as to kill Ahn Ping Prime, he was no longer afraid of the other party.

    Perhaps it was time to return to the Human Alliance.

    Therefore, Bai Li did not n to hide it.

    Shao Dongfeng¡¯s expression immediately changed when he heard Qin Feng¡¯s name.

    ¡°You know Qin Feng?¡±

    ¡°Of course. Qin Feng is the human who signed a contract with me.¡±

    Shao Dongfeng naturally understood when Bai Li said that.

    ¡°He isn¡¯t dead?¡±

    Shao Dongfeng immediately understood.

    Bai Li was a spatial beast. Most people would probably sign a ve contract with such a beast. Moreover, if the human were to die, the beast would definitely die. Shao Dongfeng also thought so, so he deduced that Qin Feng was not dead.

    Although Shao Dongfeng¡¯s guess was wrong, the result was correct.

    Bai Li sneered. ¡°Yeah, even if you die, Qin Feng won¡¯t die.¡±

    Shao Dongfeng¡¯s face immediately contorted.

    It was all Qin Feng¡¯s fault that he had fallen to such a state. If it was not for Qin Feng, how could things be over between himself and Ahn Ping Prime? Most importantly, Ahn Ping Prime had taken back some of the benefits he had given him in the past. However, Qin Feng was not dead yet.

    At the thought of this, Shao Dongfeng immediately raised hismunicator and sent a message to Ahn Ping Prime.

    Bai Li also sensed Shao Dongfeng¡¯s actions. With a sneer, spatial runes appeared.

    Shao Dongfeng felt a hair-raising aura. He instinctively retreated, but a pitch-ck rift appeared on his wrist. Shao Dongfeng retreated, but it was as if he was seeking his own death as his wrist was instantly cut off by the spatial rift.

    ¡°Ahhhh!¡± Shao Dongfeng let out a miserable cry. Seeing his wrist fly into the air, hismunicator was naturally destroyed as well.

    Not only that, the palm was swallowed by the spatial rift before it closed back up. Shao Dongfeng had no idea where his palm had gone to.

    Bai Li, this spatial beast, had the ability to tten space. Even Immortals probably would not be able to discover it.

    This meant that Shao Dongfeng could only use natural treasures to recover his wrist.

    He was already at SSS-tier. With such physical strength, he would need even more treasures to recover.

    Moreover, such injuries made Shao Dongfeng extremely furious.

    ¡°Vile creature, you actually dare to hurt me!¡± Shao Dongfeng roared angrily.

    Bai Li¡¯s expression was as cold as ice. Originally, she merely wanted to teach Shao Dongfeng a lesson. This time, she was also furious.

    ¡°You go first!¡± Bai Li raised her hand and pushed Xue Xingfu into a spatial passage. This passage was directly connected to the Blue Star Realm, and Xue Xingfu was then sent back.

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s strength was too low after all. If they really fought, she would not be able to care about the other party.

    Xue Xingfu was pushed back to the Blue Star Realm by Bai Li into Fengli City. He instantly became anxious.

    Although Bai Li was at SSS-tier, the other party was also an SSS-tier ability user and an official of the Human Alliance. If this person summoned other members of the Human Alliance to attack Bai Li, would Bai Li not be in danger?

    With this thought in mind, Xue Xingfu¡¯s perception swept across the entire Fengli City. He immediately sensed that Qin Feng was in the vi.

    He condensed his internal energy and roared loudly.

    ¡°President, things are looking bad. Lady Bai Li is fighting with an SSS-tier ability user named Shao Dongfeng.¡±

    Qin Feng, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.

    After sleeping for seven days and seven nights, he hadpletely recovered his spirits. He continued to sleep because he was cultivating the Godwill As to strengthen his own consciousness.

    1

    Xue Xingfu¡¯s words immediately woke him up.

    Then, anger exploded from within him.

 Chapter 1075 - Mighty Spirit Prime

    <h4>Chapter 1075 - Mighty Spirit Prime </h4>

    Shao Dongfeng, it was him again.

    Thinking of this, Qin Feng suddenly stood up.

    "Give me the realm¡¯s spatial waymark!"

    Xue Xingfu immediately passed him the spatial waymark. Although Qin Feng was not a spatial beast, with his current strength, it was very easy for him to tear through space.

    The violent power in Qin Feng¡¯s hand gathered, opening a rift and entering it.

    Soon, the scene before his eyes changed, and he appeared in the void of the universe.

    Beneath his feet was a shattered continent which hadpletely fallen. Countless rifts engulfed the entire realm. This realm had already copsed, and it would gradually turn into dust..

    In this void, there were actually hundreds of aptitude users attacking together, surrounding and attacking a young girl.

    It was Bai Li.

    When Xue Xingfu returned to Fengli City and contacted Qin Feng, Shao Dongfeng also knew how powerful Bai Li was in this universe.

    However, a human-shaped spatial beast was really too attractive.

    When Bai Li sent Xue Xingfu away, Shao Dongfeng did the same. He had an SS-tier aptitude user return to the Human Alliance to spread the news.

    In the next moment, the SSS-tier aptitude users in the Human Alliance all excitedly tore through space toe over.

    The moment these people saw Bai Li, their eyes widened, and a thought rose in their hearts.

    ¡¯Capture this humanoid beast and make her mine.¡¯

    These humans did not know that Bai Li already had a binding contract, and Shao Dongfeng¡¯s subordinates did not tell them either. They were even hoping that they would have this misunderstanding.

    "The shapeshifting technique is also rted to the tribe. This must be the space ten-tailed fox. This tribe is rare, and it¡¯s especially weak when it¡¯s young."

    "That¡¯s right, she¡¯s mine!"

    "Hell no, she¡¯s mine. Who dares to snatch her from me?"

    When these people were arguing, those with powerful consciousness had already unleashed their methods and attacked Bai Li¡¯s mind.

    They did this to leave their own imprint.

    However, those who dared to do so screamed in the next moment. Blood flowed out of their seven orifices. Although they did not die, the damage they suffered was huge.

    The core of the top-tier Dragon-borne realm that Qin Feng had obtained previously had all been absorbed by Bai Li. Recently, when Qin Feng went to hunt the Gorefiend Prime, aside from helping Xue Xingfu to rob realm cores, Bai Li had also been sleeping and cultivating in the realm where time flowed extremely fast.

    Now, her strength was infinitely close to that of an Immortal. The diameter of her ability starglobe was at least ny nine meters, and her consciousness was even more terrifying.

    The characteristics of her tribe made Bai Li even more powerful than an ordinary beast deity.

    "Everyone attack together. Let¡¯s take down this humanoid beast."

    "That¡¯s right, this beast is really powerful."

    "No matter how strong she is, can she still fight against 100 people by herself? Let¡¯s attack together, this isn¡¯t the time for internal strife."

    At this moment, not only was she fighting against 100 people by herself, even the SSS-tier members who had heard the news were continuouslying over.

    A beast deity level spatial beast. There were even people who proved that Bai Li could obtain the realm core. Those who came even saw a high-level realm copse with their own eyes.

    How could these people not understand the benefits involved?

    As long as they took down Bai Li and the contract was sessful, in the future, they would have countless realm cores to use. At that time, they would be able to use the realm cores to exchange for all sorts of treasures.

    It could be said that whoever obtained Bai Li would be able to rule the world.

    These people were all extremely excited as they thought about their beautiful lives in the future. As a result, their attacks became even more relentless.

    Bai Li sneered. She did not hide her strength as a terrifying rift appeared.

    "You guys are from the Human Alliance. I¡¯ll give you a 30% chance. However, it¡¯s not up to you whether your limbs break or not!"

    With that thought in mind, her attacks became even more terrifying.

    However, at this moment, Qin Feng arrived.

    "Bai Li!" Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness instantly roared out.

    Seeing these people attacking Bai Li together, even if Bai Li was not injured, Qin Feng was like a giant dragon that had been triggered. He was extremely furious.

    In an instant, Qin Feng drew out his Verdant Emperor Saber and swung it down.

    "Thousand Spirit Chain Rend!"

    In an instant, countless terrifying spirits roared out and enveloped the entire area. The only thing that was not covered by the saber light was the direction where Bai Li was.

    Bai Li was in the air, and those people hadpletely surrounded Bai Li. However, at this moment, they were all suppressed by this terrifying saber light.

    "What is this?"

    The spirits roared and swooped down. An SSS-tier member could only raise his hand to block, but very quickly, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

    And on the field, the hundreds of aptitude users were all the same.

    The power of the de was so terrifying.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body rampaged through the universe and soon appeared beside Bai Li. He hugged Bai Li¡¯s waist and his consciousness had already swept through every pore on Bai Li. Only when he saw that Bai Li was safe and sound did he feel relieved.

    However, when it came to the other aptitude users, Qin Feng was not worried, but angry.

    At this moment, because they were suppressed by Qin Feng¡¯s saber light, hundreds of aptitude users were standing beneath Qin Feng¡¯s feet in the void of the universe. They raised their heads to look at Qin Feng.

    They could clearly feel that Qin Feng was an SSS9-tier aptitude user.

    However, among the people present, there was nock of SSS9-tier aptitude users. Yet when facing Qin Feng, they all had a feeling of being suppressed.

    In their eyes, Qin Feng¡¯s strength was terrifyingly strong.

    "Qin Feng!" Shao Dongfeng said with a trembling voice in the crowd.

    "This, this is Qin Feng? Isn¡¯t he already dead?" The other person was the person who had single-handedly nned the Armored Star Broodmother scenario. He was the SSS-tier aptitude user, Zhao Ge, Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s subordinate.

    Originally, he thought that Qin Feng was already dead, but now, he was standing in front of him. Not only that, Qin Feng¡¯s strength had already surpassed his.

    Zhao Ge was unable to believe his own eyes and senses at such a change.

    But Qin Feng was standing in front of him.

    The saber in Qin Feng¡¯s hand was different from what Zhao Ge had seen before. Now, this saber was raised and aimed at the aptitude users under Qin Feng¡¯s feet.

    "Those who attacked just now must die!"

    As Qin Feng spoke, he was about to sh again.

    However, at this moment, an iparablyrge rift appeared in the universe.

    This rift was simply toorge. It was actually over a million meters long,pletely different from when Ahn Ping Prime had appeared.

    Soon, a person walked out from rift.

    It was indeed in human form, but it was over nine hundred thousand meters long.

    One had to know that back when Ahn Ping Prime had descended, the energy life form¡¯s body was only one hundred thousand meters long. Although such a body was still a tiny existencepared to creatures like the Armored Star and the Giant Star Turtle, it was still iparably huge to humans.

    And this one was even more enormous.

    Of course, this did not mean that he was more powerful than Ahn Ping Prime. It was because of his tribe.

    "Mighty Spirit Prime!"

    "Prime is here as well."

    "Greetings, Prime!"

    The aptitude users all bowed.

    The terrifying giant in front of them was one of the most powerful members of the Human Alliance, the Giant Tribe, Mighty Spirit Prime.

 Chapter 1076 - Personally Make A Move

    <h4>Chapter 1076 - Personally Make A Move </h4>

    The appearance of Mighty Spirit Prime made these people all respectful. They did not even care if Qin Feng was going to make a move.

    In these people¡¯s eyes, Qin Feng definitely would not make a move now. Otherwise, Mighty Spirit Prime would not let Qin Feng off. In the Human Alliance, killing each other was also breaking the rules.

    However, Qin Fengpletely ignored Mighty Spirit Prime. He was a man of his words.

    Qin Feng once again unleashed a sh. After this sh, if these people did not die, Qin Feng would let them off.

    Therefore, with this sh, Qin Feng poured at least half of a frozen star¡¯s internal energy in. Tens of thousands of spirits burst forth, roaring as they charged toward those aptitude users..

    When Mighty Spirit Prime saw this, he frowned.

    His face was also very huge. This frowning action was like a small bump on his face. Then, he raised his hand to block Qin Feng¡¯s attack.

    From Mighty Spirit Prime¡¯s perspective, these aptitude users were bowing to him, but they were attacked by another person. He naturally could not watch this kind of thing happen.

    Therefore, the aptitude users only felt Mighty Spirit Prime¡¯s finger appear and cover their heads. This made them have an inexplicable feeling of shock, but they did not feel the threat of Mighty Spirit Prime.

    There was only one possibility.

    They raised their heads again and looked in Qin Feng¡¯s direction. Sure enough, they saw the terrifying spirits appear again.

    And Mighty Spirit Prime¡¯s finger had blocked those spirits.

    "Oh my God, Mighty Spirit Prime has made a move."

    "I¡¯ve never seen an Immortal make a move. This is simply terrifying."

    "That Qin Feng¡¯s attack is so powerful, yet he only used a finger to block it. It¡¯s really... Erm..."

    Before the man could say anything else, he realized that when Mighty Spirit Prime¡¯s finger collided with Qin Feng¡¯s saber light, it exploded like fireworks. The energy life form exploded, and Mighty Spirit Prime¡¯s finger was instantly severed.

    Although this was only Mighty Spirit Prime¡¯s energy life form, and could grow even longer even if his finger was severed, this phenomenon represented Qin Feng¡¯s strength.

    He could actually kill an Immortal.

    At this moment, Mighty Spirit Prime quickly withdrew his hand as his eyes widened.

    "Star-ying iron!"

    With the same reaction as Gorefiend Prime, Mighty Spirit Prime was shocked by Qin Feng¡¯s strength. He was actually able to harm him, and the star-ying iron had made an extraordinary contribution.

    However, although Mighty Spirit Prime paid the price of a finger, he still sessfully saved the people. The aftershock merely threatened those aptitude users. Fortunately, no one died.

    Mighty Spirit Prime looked at Qin Feng and Bai Li, but there was no anger on his face. Instead, he was a little surprised.

    "Your strength is not bad. With great strength, you also have to learn to control yourself and not kill the innocent. If you do, you will be expelled from the Human Alliance," Mighty Spirit Prime said.

    Qin feng sneered, "Expelled from the Human Alliance? Haven¡¯t I been expelled a long time ago? In fact, it was Ahn Ping Prime who did it. Don¡¯t you think so, General Zhao Ge?"

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was locked onto Zhao Ge who was just about to let out a sigh of relief after surviving the cmity.

    His heart started to beat wildly again. He was extremely afraid.

    "What are you saying? I don¡¯t understand."

    Mighty Spirit Prime did not understand either.

    However, at this moment, another huge rift appeared in the universe. However, this rift was only one-tenth the size of the one Mighty Spirit Prime had created. Not only that, the auraing from within made even Qin Feng and Bai Li know who had appeared.

    "Ahn Ping Prime!"

    Speak of the devil.

    The gazes of these aptitude users were all focused on that rift.

    Then, Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s body appeared.

    "Lord Ahn Ping!"

    "My Lord!"

    Zhao Ge hurriedly used his consciousness to connect with him. Even Shao Dongfeng was happily fawning over him. In the past, he was still worried about his dignity. He thought that Ahn Ping Prime and he had an unusual rtionship, even though the other party was an Immortal.

    But now, Shao Dongfeng finally understood the difference between an Immortal and an aptitude user.

    This was an epiphany one would get when one¡¯s life was threatened.

    Ahn Ping Prime floated in the universe and instantly locked onto Qin Feng.

    After all, in order to return Shao Dongfeng¡¯s favor, he had personally schemed against Qin Feng. It was just that he did not expect Qin Feng to still be alive.

    "Ahn Ping, you came at the right time. This aptitude user seems to be saying that you have expelled him from the Human Alliance."

    Ahn Ping Prime looked at Qin Feng calmly. After a moment of silence, his consciousness enveloped the area.

    "No!"

    Ahn Ping Prime refuted Qin Feng¡¯s words.

    Moreover, because of Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s words, everyone believed him. They felt that there was no need for the Prime to lie.

    "You¡¯re lying. Since the Prime has said so himself, how are you going to refute?"

    "You actually want to kill people and take the ten-tailed fox for yourself."

    "That¡¯s right, you¡¯re an executioner. Do you think you¡¯re so great just because you¡¯re the champion of the Peace Contest?"

    These aptitude users were all in high spirits and were all attacking Qin Feng.

    However, at this moment, Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s consciousness rang out once again.

    "So you¡¯re Qin Feng."

    Qin Feng looked at Ahn Ping Prime. At this moment, he saw a faint killing intent in Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s eyes.

    The killing intent was not obvious because there was no hatred between the two of them.

    However, this killing intent still existed, because Ahn Ping Prime wanted to kill Qin Feng.

    "I owe Shao Dongfeng some favors. He asked me to take action and kill you. From then on, everything will be settled. I didn¡¯t expect that the mission I sent out wasn¡¯tpleted."

    The other aptitude users all had their mouths agape as they looked at Ahn Ping Prime in disbelief.

    They had never expected that Ahn Ping Prime would actually reveal such a despicable matter.

    Qin Feng had long thought of the reason, but he had never expected that a powerful existence like Ahn Ping Prime would owe shao Dongfeng a favor. It should have happened before he became a Prime.

    However, in Qin Feng¡¯s heart, he had a faint feeling that Ahn Ping Prime was not trying to exin things to him.

    On the contrary, Qin Feng had a feeling that Ahn Ping Prime was just trying to make him understand.

    As expected, after Ahn Ping Prime admitted to the matter, he said again, "I can¡¯t fail to fulfill my promise. Since you¡¯ve appeared again, this time... I¡¯ll do it myself!"

    As he said this, Ahn Ping Prime raised his hand.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li once again saw the huge palm that blotted out the sun in the ruins after the Armored Star Broodmother exploded.

    When Qin Feng looked at the huge palm at that time, it was as if the palm had blotted out the sun. It was a difference in the level of life, a difference between heaven and earth.

    However, looking at it now, it was as if a lifetime had passed.

    This kind of Ahn Ping Prime was no longer a lofty Immortal, but an enemy that Qin Feng could fend off.

    His physical body had evolved to SSS9-tier, and he was only one step away from bing an energy life form. At this moment, Qin Feng¡¯s flesh and blood no longer trembled in fear. Instead, he raised the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand.

    Saber light burst forth.

    "Immortal Spirit Chain Rend!"

 Chapter 1077 - Shao Dongfeng Alone and Helpless

    <h4>Chapter 1077: Shao Dongfeng Alone and Helpless</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    The two powerful forces erupted, and the aptitude users under Qin Feng¡¯s feet were overwhelmed with shock. They did not even have the time to retreat.

    Fortunately, Mighty Spirit Prime was behind them.

    Mighty Spirit Prime attacked a second time and enveloped these aptitude users.

    Thus, they saw the scene in the universe through his translucent palm.

    Qin Feng¡¯s tiny body was like a speck of dustpared to Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s one hundred thousand meter tall body. However, this speck of dust was now emitting a scorching glow.

    In the next moment, powerful energy swept across the universe.

    Energy waves spread out one after another..

    Boom!

    The Immortal spirit that erupted from the Verdant Emperor Saber suddenly smashed apart Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s hand and was aimed at Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s body.

    ¡°Be careful!¡± Mighty Spirit Prime had no choice but to warn him.

    Qin Feng had the star-ying iron in his hand. Three monthster, Ahn Ping Prime would be going to the Divine Lake Realm. It would be best if he did not get injured.

    However, the moment he spoke via his consciousness, he had already admitted that Qin Feng had the power to shake Immortals!

    A crystal exploded out in front of Ahn Ping Prime. This crystal was none other than internal energy hard qi.

    Immediately after, the Immortal spirit shed down on it. Then, Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s enormous body retreated tens of thousands of meters in the universe.

    The energy in the universe dissipated. For a moment, the silent universe made it even more difficult for people to breathe.

    Ahn Ping Prime had been pushed back.

    This was not something difficult to understand.

    Gorefiend Prime was injured, and his strength was not what it used to be. Qin Feng was able to defeat him, which meant that he also had the ability to threaten Primes.

    Not only that, Gorefiend Prime¡¯s death caused Qin Feng¡¯s physical strength to skyrocket. This meant that Qin Feng¡¯s overall strength had once again soared, and he was even stronger than when he fought Gorefiend Prime. It was not impossible for him to push Ahn Ping Prime back in one blow.

    Of course, it was impossible for Qin Feng to kill Ahn Ping Prime.

    But with the power to resist, it would make people fearful.

    At this moment, Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s face was calm, but it was terrifying.

    The Prime of a generation had actually been repelled.

    They had no idea what would happen next.

    However, what was unexpected was that Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s consciousness resounded throughout the universe. He was not talking to Qin Feng, but to Shao Dongfeng.

    ¡°The friendship from back then is able to make me take action twice. Now, it¡¯s beenpletely written off.¡±

    Shao Dongfeng¡¯s eyes instantly widened.

    He had already understood something.

    ¡°No, Ahn Ping, you can¡¯t do this. You¡¯re going easy on him. I¡¯m talking about killing him. Kill him!¡± Shao Dongfeng roared furiously.

    However, at this moment, Ahn Ping remained silent.

    The others might have felt that Shao Dongfeng¡¯s words were right. Otherwise, how could they exin how a Prime was actually repelled by an SSS9-tier aptitude user?

    Immortals were the most powerful existences, yet they were now being challenged by lower-level life forms. This sort of thing had overturned their understanding.

    Only Ahn Ping Prime knew that he did not hold back in that move just now. With the power unleashed by Qin Feng, coupled with the weapon of an Immortal fused with the star-ying iron, if he really wanted to fight, Ahn Ping Prime would probably have to suffer more losses.

    There was no need to do this for Shao Dongfeng.

    Furthermore, Ahn Ping Prime believed that he had already done everything he could.

    ¡°You don¡¯t have the right to refute an Immortal!¡± Mighty Spirit Prime suddenly said. Then, he raised his finger and moved Shao Dongfeng away, expelling him from his protection.

    Shao Dongfeng¡¯s eyes were red. If Mighty Spirit Prime was not going to protect him, and Ahn Ping Prime no longer cared, with Qin Feng¡¯s current strength, Shao Dongfeng felt that death was assuredly upon him.

    Thus, Shao Dongfeng no longer cared about Mighty Spirit Prime¡¯s strength. He roared, ¡°Ahn Ping owes me his life. If it wasn¡¯t for me, how could he have be a Prime?¡±

    ¡°Even if he owes you his life, he should have already paid it off after so many years!¡± Zhao Ge jumped out from the crowd. He was Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s subordinate and knew many things about Ahn Ping Prime, including Shao Dongfeng.

    ¡°Why don¡¯t you say it? If it wasn¡¯t for Ahn Ping Prime, how could you have be an SSS-tier aptitude user with your talent? You¡¯ve been acting like a tyrant for so many years. Then, don¡¯t you owe Ahn Ping Prime a lot?¡±

    For a moment, the way the other aptitude users were looking at Shao Dongfeng also became strange. Most of them had looks of disdain.

    All the aptitude users present knew the other party¡¯s background. Shao Dongfeng had indeed dared to harm others and gained benefit for himself by using the name of Ahn Ping Prime.

    This time, Ahn Ping Prime hadpletely drawn the line between Shao Dongfeng and himself. They even wanted to p their hands and cheer.

    However, at this time, Ahn Ping Prime said again, ¡°Indeed, I owe you my life. Then, how about I save your life this time?¡±

    Immediately after, Ahn Ping Prime looked at Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng and Ahn Ping Prime did not have any conflict. There was no point in fighting to the death. Everything was caused by Shao Dongfeng, this despicable person. If it was not for Shao Dongfeng, Qin Feng would not mind living peacefully with Ahn Ping Prime.

    However, since Ahn Ping Prime wanted to protect Shao Dongfeng, Qin Feng naturally could not agree with that so easily.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness said firmly, ¡°Death penalty can be avoided, but punishment cannot be spared. Back then, Shao Dongfeng used his power to suppress others during the peace contest training, andter on, he threatened my realm¡¯s elites. These are matters of the past, so I shall not dwell on them!¡±

    When the people present heard Qin Feng¡¯s words, they finally understood the whole story. It was just that these people were also extremely shocked. One had to know that only ten months had passed since thest peace contest. Qin Feng was only an S-tier aptitude user at that time.

    It was truly a shocking reversal.

    Ahn Ping Prime also knew that. It was even because of this that he did not want to make a move anymore.

    Before, he had only made a move to probe, but now, he was very apprehensive.

    Qin Feng continued, ¡°But this time, Shao Dongfeng framed my merchant, intending to ckmail him and ask for arge amount of money. My equal contract, the space ten-tailed fox, came out to rescue him. How is it that you guys ended up attacking her together? Was he the one who started all of this?¡±

    When Qin Feng said this, those aptitude users who had besieged Qin Feng all broke out in cold sweat.

    At this time, they also thought of what Qin Feng had just said. They did not pay attention to it before, but Qin Feng who had revealed his strength made these people have no choice but to pay attention to his words.

    For a moment, they only felt a chill run down their backs. It was like a knife hanging above their heads, ready to fall at any time.

    ¡°Lord Qin Feng, I didn¡¯t know that the ten-tailed fox is your contracted beast!¡±

    ¡°Yeah, I only came because I heard the news from Shao Dongfeng¡¯s subordinate!¡±

    ¡°So he¡¯s Shao Dongfeng¡¯s subordinate. I don¡¯t know anything. It¡¯s all Shao Dongfeng¡¯s fault.¡±

    These people all started to shift the me.

    Shao Dongfeng felt that he was the target of thousands of people, isted and helpless.

    At this moment, Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s consciousness descended once again.

    ¡°Go ahead! You decide the severity of the punishment.¡±

 Chapter 1078 - Becoming a Cripple

    <h4>Chapter 1078: Bing a Cripple</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s words had already determined Shao Dongfeng¡¯s fate.

    From Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s point of view, if Qin Feng did not kill Shao Dongfeng, he would at most suffer some physical pain, causing some irreversible damage. At the very least, Shao Dongfeng would still be alive, and the debt of gratitude for this life would be repaid.

    Shao Dongfeng probably would not be grateful to Ahn Ping Prime. In fact, he might even be resentful. However, Ahn Ping Prime no longer cared.

    Just like how he did not care about the opinions of others and acted to suppress Qin Feng, Shao Dongfeng¡¯s resentment was nothing. It was only the judgment of outsiders.

    At his current position, he was no longer afraid of the judgment of outsiders.

    The corners of Qin Feng¡¯s mouth curled into a cold smile.. In the next moment, he raised his hand and a huge suction force grabbed Shao Dongfeng.

    Shao Dongfeng immediately resisted fiercely. However, how could he be a match for the current Qin Feng.

    In an instant, Shao Dongfeng was caught in Qin Feng¡¯s hand.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    Shao Dongfeng received Qin Feng¡¯s Asteroid Assimtion at close range. The internal energy starglobe in his dantian immediately flowed in reverse, and the internal energy flowed out along his lower abdomen, as if there was a big hole in his dantian.

    Not only that, the reversal of internal energy caused huge damage to his meridians.

    ¡°Ahhhhh!¡±

    Shao Dongfeng was in so much pain that he opened his mouth and screamed.

    These people did not know what technique Qin Feng had used. Just by looking at this scene, they felt their hair stand on ends. It was extremely terrifying.

    However, very quickly, these aptitude users and even the two Primes felt that something was wrong with Shao Dongfeng.

    This situation was not due to the great pain on his body. Instead, it was because Shao Dongfeng¡¯s strength was decreasing.

    From SSS-tier to SS-tier, then S-tier.

    This aura was still decreasing until it reached B-tier.

    However, the internal energy in Shao Dongfeng¡¯s body had already disappeared. It was empty. Even his dantian waspletely shattered under the reverse flow of internal energy.

    The reason why he maintained the strength of a B-tier was because Shao Dongfeng still had the strength of his physical body. After all, he was an SSS-tier aptitude user. He had consumed countless treasures. Even if his meridians were all broken, he still had the strength of a B-tier physical body.

    However, with this kind of strength, it was difficult even to breathe in the universe. Under the influence of the violent rays, he was about to die.

    ¡°I¡¯ll spare your dog life!¡±

    This was what Qin Feng had promised Ahn Ping Prime.

    He released an internal force hard qi from his hand and wrapped it around Shao Dongfeng. Then, he suddenly flung Shao Dongfeng into Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s arms.

    Ahn Ping Prime looked deeply at Qin Feng. This oue was out of Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s expectations. It was likely that Shao Dongfeng would never be able to return to SSS-tier in this lifetime.

    From today onward, he was a cripple. He would go from being an SSS-tier powerhouse, who was below one person and above ten thousand people, to an ordinary person. Even if he had the strength of a B-tier, Shao Dongfeng was still injured. He would probably never be able to fight again.

    However, there was nothing wrong with that.

    Now that he was weak, he would not have such great ambitions.

    Ahn Ping Prime transmitted his consciousness to the universe. ¡°Now, we have written off everything between us.¡±

    Although Ahn Ping Prime had only set up a trap, it had a great impact on Qin Feng. Due to Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s methods, Qin Feng had no choice but to leave the Human Alliance.

    However, Qin Feng knew that the weak did not have the right to speak.

    Furthermore, Qin Feng had also crippled Shao Dongfeng and defeated Ahn Ping Prime. This would probably have a huge impact on Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s reputation.

    Both of them had suffered losses, so the score had been settled once and for all.

    However, it was not like Qin Feng did not receive any benefits. From today onward, Qin Feng could return to the Human Alliance and carry out his n with great fanfare. He did not need to worry about the Immortals anymore.

    At this moment, the Immortals were no longer a threat to him.

    ¡°Agreed!¡± Qin Feng used his consciousness to answer Ahn Ping Prime. He even split his consciousness and directed it at Zhao Ge.

    Zhao Ge almost could not help but kneel down. However, he could not kneel. He represented Ahn Ping Prime¡¯s face.

    At this moment, a huge pressure fell on Zhao Ge.

    Ahn Ping Prime naturally saw this as well.

    ¡°Disperse!¡±

    Ahn Ping Prime took Shao Dongfeng, and with a raise of his hand, a crack appeared, allowing all these aptitude users to leave.

    Qin Feng did not stop them. Zhao Ge was only a hired thug, and Qin Feng would not kill him.

    However, threatening him like this was something he would surely do.

    Otherwise, would he not have held on to his anger for nothing?

    At this moment, Zhao Ge and the other aptitude users who had tried to get their hands on Bai Li left as if they had been pardoned.

    Ahn Ping Prime also tore through space. After leaving this void, he would no longer exist in this realm.

    Only Mighty Spirit Prime stayed behind. His consciousness transmitted, ¡°Qin Feng, are you willing to transfer this contract beast of yours? I can give you ten high-tier realms!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s face became twisted. He directly replied, ¡°She¡¯s my partner!¡±

    Mighty Spirit Prime was taken aback for a moment, but he was not surprised. Bai Li had already transformed into human form. She was really extraordinarily beautiful. Moreover, although most of the orcs had joined the Dark Coalition, there were also some who liked peace, after joining the Human Alliance, these were also the descendants of humans and ultra beasts.

    What Qin Feng was doing was not umon in countless realms.

    ¡°What a pity!¡±

    Qin Feng did not feel that there was anything to pity.

    However, Mighty Spirit Prime seemed to be very interested in Bai Li, and he suddenly changed his mind as his consciousness said, ¡°Although you are strong now, and can even shake Immortals, if you want to advance, you need a special method. If you offend Ahn Ping, I¡¯m afraid that you won¡¯t have the chance to advance. When that timees, your strength won¡¯t be able to advance, and that would be bad. You just need to give me this contracted beast...¡±

    ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was extremely cold.

    Although he did not know where the Divine Lake Realm was, Qian Mu Prime had already agreed to bring Qin Feng there. Naturally, he did not need Mighty Spirit Prime, or even the people from the Human Alliance.

    This piece of news brought by Mighty Spirit Prime was very attractive to others, but to Qin Feng, it waspletely worthless.

    Moreover, Qin Feng did not like Mighty Spirit Prime treating Bai Li as an item that could be bought and sold.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Qin Feng said.

    Bai Li immediately pointed with her fingertip, and a spatial passage appeared. Qin Feng held Bai Li¡¯s waist and directly entered the passage, disappearing into it.

    When the enormous Mighty Spirit Prime saw this, his face was dark.

    His eyes were flickering as well, as if he was considering the pros and cons. In the end, he could only shake his head.

    Qin Feng¡¯s strength was indeed extraordinary. If others were to obtain such an ultra beast, Mighty Spirit Prime would use his power to pressure them, forcing them to give up the contracted beast.

    Powerful people always had the right to speak.

 Chapter 1079 - Is this the Divine Lake Realm?

    <h4>Chapter 1079: Is this the Divine Lake Realm?</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    After the incident between Qin Feng and Ahn Ping Prime had passed, the entire Human Alliance headquarters became aware of Qin Feng¡¯s great name.

    It was just that this incident had blown up too much.

    Moreover, the aptitude users all thought that Ahn Ping Prime was actually the one who hadpromised. This also caused Qin Feng¡¯s reputation to soar like the sun.

    This did not affect Qin Feng much, but Xue Xingfu¡¯s reputation rocketed.

    Everyone knew that Xue Xingfu was Qin Feng¡¯s subordinate. No one dared to harm him.

    Qin Feng was the number one person below the Immortals. He had many resources in his hands. Hence, if the aptitude users had any needs, they would look for Xue Xingfu.. For a time, Xue Xingfu¡¯s business grew bigger and bigger. The realms he bought were all high-grade realms and above.

    Meanwhile, Qin Feng swaggered into these realms known to the Human Alliance. He devoured the realm cores, and his strength continued to soar.

    ***

    Three monthster.

    In the void of the universe, a terrifying saber light shed across the universe. A void beast screamed in pain and lost its aura.

    The power of darkness enveloped its body. Its ability core was instantly swallowed, and a huge amount of consciousness was fused into another body.

    Boom!

    The consciousness broke through and was close to perfection.

    Qin Feng floated in the universe, feeling the perception brought by the increase in consciousness at this moment.

    SSS9-tier consciousness.

    In the past three months, Qin Feng had been continuously hunting ultra beasts. However, it was indeed difficult to encounter ultra beasts at the level of an Immortal. Qin Feng did not have the chance to kill a second one, so he could only ughter beast deities at SSS9-tier. Now, he did not know how many he had killed.

    Just as Qin Feng was thinking about that, amunicator on his body transmitted a message.

    ¡°Oh? It has already begun?¡± Qin Feng¡¯s heart was stirred up when he received the message.

    In Qin Feng¡¯s opinion, three months had passed by too slowly.

    This is because the path of an Immortal was stuck at one step, and he would never be able to step forward from it.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that my internal energy core has yet to reach the nine frozen stars¡¯ diameter of nine hundred meters.¡±

    ording to the calction of volume and purity after absorption and filtration, Qin Feng would have to swallow at least ten thousand realm cores with a diameter of one hundred meters.

    Back then, the peace contest, which was only held once every few years, only had a total number of a few thousand realms that were umted over many years.

    And among them, how many realm did not have wisdom tribes?

    After devouring the deste, the realm core was not even enough to fill the gaps between Qin Feng¡¯s teeth.

    Even so, Qin Feng¡¯s internal energy frozen stars had a diameter of five hundred meters, and it was nine frozen stars at the same time.

    With that, Qin Feng¡¯s current strength was terrifying.

    ¡°But back then, when I advanced to S-tier internal energy, I didn¡¯t advance it to the extreme. Humans can¡¯t be too greedy. This is enough!¡±

    The Divine Lake Realm would not wait for anyone, so Qin Feng stopped feeling too conflicted.

    Qin Feng was the first to return to the Blue Star Realm. He then informed the people of the Fengli Organization that he was going to advance to be an Immortal.

    Over the years, there had been a great number of people who had advanced from SSS9-tier to Immortal tier. However, the Human Alliance and the Dark Coalition still did not have an additional Immortal. It could be seen how difficult it was.

    Qin Feng was also mentally prepared. However, when he looked at Bai Li beside him, Qin Feng felt that all these difficulties were not obstacles.

    He still had Bai Li. He wanted to be Bai Li¡¯s pir of support.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡±

    After giving his instructions, Qin Feng tore through the void and headed toward the Floating City of the Dark Coalition that Qian Mu Prime had given him.

    He arrived early. After waiting for a while, SSS-tier elites began to appear one after another. Very quickly, Qin Feng discovered the conditions of these elites.

    These elites were either very old and did not seem to have much vitality, or very young and had a proud expression on their faces. They seemed to be fascinated by the Divine Lake Realm and even firmly believed that they could be the chosen one, and ascend as an Immortal.

    The number of the second type of humans was very small.

    In the Human Alliance and the Dark Coalition, there were quite a number of SSS9-tier aptitude users. However, there were only a dozen or so people who came to this realm, wanting to advance to be an Immortal.

    Half a dayter, a soundless aura appeared beside these people.

    If it was not for Qin Feng¡¯s sharp power of darkness, he would not have been able to sense their existence at all.

    ¡°Nirvana Prime!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s heart stirred.

    Following that, there were also seven or eight SSS9-tier ability users who were following Nirvana Prime.

    Nirvana Prime still had a human body, so he did not seem too tall. For this assassin who had be a Prime, it was not that important for his body to be huge. On the contrary, being small and thin made people lower their vignce, and it could be fatal with just one move.

    However, Qin Feng soon discovered that this time, these Primes hadpressed their bodies.

    The one who appeared after was none other than Wraith Devil Prime.

    ¡°Hmph!¡± Wraith Devil Prime looked at Qin Feng and snorted coldly, but he did not make things difficult for him. Perhaps it was because he sensed that Qin Feng was stronger than before.

    Especially in terms of consciousness, Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness was infinitely close to that of an Immortal.

    There were also more than ten people following behind Wraith Devil Prime, all of them from the Wraith Devil Tribe.

    And thest one to arrive was Qian Mu Prime.

    Qian Mu Prime¡¯s body had also transformed into a human¡¯s appearance. Qian Mu Prime of the Dora Tribe had long golden hair, and golden light appeared in his eyes, making him iparably handsome. The moment others saw him, the desire to look toward the light arose in them.

    ¡°Lord Qian Mu!¡±

    ¡°Greetings, Lord.¡±

    ¡°Lord.¡±

    The group of people greeted him one after another. Those who were waiting here were all invited by Qian Mu Prime, including Qin Feng.

    In the Dark Coalition, Nirvana Prime was a lone wolf, while Wraith Devil Prime was far too dangerous. On the other hand, Qian Mu Prime, who was unrestrained, chose the Dark Coalition, and his style of doing things was slightly gentler.

    Even in a ce like the Dark Coalition, one could be ruthless, but everyone would surely hope that the people around them were purer and kinder. That was why Qian Mu Prime was the most favored one.

    However, this kind of support could be immediately overthrown if he did not have the strength.

    At this moment, there were more than thirty people behind Qian Mu Prime.

    Therefore, when all these people were added up, only sixty people were participating in this Divine Lake Realm.

    ¡°Follow me.¡±

    Qian Mu Prime said.

    ¡°Yes!¡±

    Everyone responded.

    Qian Mu Prime quickly opened a spatial rift and entered a realm.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li nced at it, and they both stepped into it.

    When these people arrived at this realm, Qian Mu Prime suddenly moved and flew forward before they had the time to look around.

    This time, Qin Feng and the others did not say anything and could only follow.

    Not long after, they appeared in front of a rift.

    This was a rift formed naturally. Countless runes were floating around the rift. When Qin Feng saw this familiar scene, he was instantly stunned.

    This was actually the same existence as the Runic Gxy Realm found in the Blue Star Realm.

    Could this be the Divine Lake Realm?

 Chapter 1080 - Gathering All the Immortals

    <h4>Chapter 1080: Gathering All the Immortals</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    This realm seemed to have been cleared out, and there were no Wisdom Tribes present. Otherwise, when they saw the strength of these aptitude users, they would have been scared to tears. After all, the realm they were in looked like a dangerous life form that was about to dry up.

    Qian Mu Prime did not exin anything to the others. Instead, he waited there. In a short while, another group of elites arrived.

    Four of these elites were Immortals.

    Even though their bodies had already shrunk, their vitality was still so exuberant that it was terrifying. It was as if their human bodies contained terrifying power.

    Other than Ahn Ping Prime and Mighty Spirit Prime, Qin Feng also saw the other two Primes in the Human Alliance, Sen Zu Prime and Radiance Prime.

    .

    Beside Sen Zu Prime, there was also a person that Qin Feng was familiar with. It was Blooming Lord.

    ¡°Qin Feng!¡± Blooming Lord looked at Qin Feng in shock, her gaze alsonding on Bai Li.

    Ahn Ping and Mighty Spirit Prime also looked at Qin Feng, and then their expressions changed.

    ¡°Qin Feng, you actually joined the Dark Coalition?¡±

    One had to know that Qin Feng had been quite active in the Human Alliance recently, and his strength was extremely strong. Originally, these elites thought that Qin Feng would seek them out in order to be an Immortal, but in the end, Qin Feng did not do that at all.

    However, after so many years, almost no one had be an Immortal. In fact, those SSS-tier aptitude users who went to be an Immortal never returned. Since that was the case, everyone knew the dangers involved.

    They thought that Qin Feng was not willing to take risks. This was a thought that many people had.

    Now, it seemed that Qin Feng had found a way on his own.

    ¡°Hehe, at this time, it doesn¡¯t matter where Demon Xuan Feng is from. As long as he bes an Immortal, that would be the greatest contribution to our human race, wouldn¡¯t it?¡± Qian Mu Prime said.

    Qin Feng had caused such a hugemotion in the Human Alliance and did not even hide his cultivation technique. Qian Mu Prime had long known Qin Feng¡¯s identity, but he did not expose him.

    Sometimes, individual strength would blur the line on many things, making people less persistent and unruly.

    This was because both the Human Alliance and the Dark Coalition weed people with Qin Feng¡¯s strength.

    However, now that Qin Feng was walking together with the people of the Dark Coalition, he had naturally abandoned the Human Alliance. How could Ahn Ping Prime not ask?

    ¡°That¡¯s true. At this point in time, it¡¯s not something we should care about. Let¡¯s set off together!¡± Ahn Ping Prime said as he looked deeply at Qin Feng.

    Actually, Ahn Ping Prime had another thought in his mind. Qin Feng might not be able to be an Immortal. If he really became an Immortal, Ahn Ping might not let Qin Feng off easily. At the very least, he would be able to rope Qin Feng back into the Human Alliance.

    However, after saying that, Ahn Ping Prime took out a ship. Qin Feng had been on this ship before, and it was the one he had taken during the peace contest.

    Meanwhile, the others also took out their shuttles.

    The most unique one was Wraith Devil Prime¡¯s shuttle. It was a skeleton-like existence, which felt eerie and terrifying.

    The body of Qian Mu Prime¡¯s shuttle was a pale-golden color, which was very beautiful and magnificent. Needless to say, Radiance Prime of the Human Alliance, who was a light ability user, had a shuttle that was even more dazzling. It looked like a cocoon of Holy Light.

    The others all had their own unique features, but all had the same function, which was naturally to shuttle through energy ces.

    Qin Feng stepped onto Qian Mu Prime¡¯s shuttle. Then, he activated the energy shield, which blocked the energy from the outside world and formed aplete whole. Soon, seven big ships sailed into the crack.

    Qin Feng entered and found that it was indeed the Runic Gxy Realm. He could not help but frown.

    ¡°Lord Qian Mu, is this the Divine Lake Realm? I¡¯ve seen many realms like this appear in the information that I have. They are just very rare. Moreover, this is a realm where only ability users can benefit from!¡±

    The Divine Lake Realm could give birth to Immortals. How could it be an existence that could flow out at will.

    Qian Mu Prime naturally knew Qin Feng¡¯s doubts, and the others were simrly puzzled.

    ¡°What you said is wrong. The omnipresent violent energy in the Runic Gxy Realm is actually a type of internal energy. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s too violent, so there¡¯s no way to absorb it.¡±

    Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, then nodded in agreement.

    Qian Mu Prime continued, ¡°This is naturally not the Divine Lake Realm, but we need to pass through countless realms like this to search for the existence of the energy origin. That energy origin can allow life to turn into energy and reach another level. In addition, the form of the energy origin is like a hugeke in the void. That¡¯s why it¡¯s called the Divine Lake Realm.¡±

    ¡°We need to find a realm in the Runic Gxy Realm?¡± Qin Feng was suddenly enlightened.

    In the Runic Gxy Realm, although Bai Li could also teleport, it was impossible to establish a spatial tunnel and fix it at a certain location.

    This also caused the Immortals to be unable to determine the location of the Divine Realm.

    Qian Mu Prime said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Not only that, there are many elites who will go to this realm together. All the rifts connecting the Runic Gxy Realm will eventually point to the Divine Lake Realm. It¡¯s just that their strength isn¡¯t strong enough, so there¡¯s no way to enter.¡±

    Qin Feng nodded. Although there were still many things he did not understand, he ultimately did not ask any more questions.

    The shuttle personally piloted by the Immortal was too fast. When Qin Feng went to the Runic Gxy Realm connected to the Blue Star, he reached the middle circle of the Runic Gxy Realm. It took him three days and three nights to return, and that was under the situation where Bai Li continuously teleported through space.

    But now, Qin Feng only felt countless elemental continents shing by his side. Then, they gradually shrank and turned into a colorful dot in his line of sight. Finally, they disappeared from his sight.

    The shuttle only took two hours to reach the center of the Runic Gxy Realm.

    Only then did Qin Feng realize that the center was actually a pitch-ck vortex. It was a spatial passage.

    Qian Mu and the other Immortals did notmunicate with each other. They drove their shuttles into it without any hesitation.

    The vortex changed and they actually appeared in a Runic Gxy Realm once again. Just by looking at the movement of the runic continent, they knew that this was probably the edge of a new Runic Gxy Realm.

    ¡®Didn¡¯t they say that Runic Gxy Realms are extremely rare? It looks like there are still many more!¡¯

    As Qin Feng thought to himself, Qian Mu Prime and the others continued to advance forward.

    After that, they once again crossed this Runic Gxy Realm and merged into an evenrger Runic Gxy Realm.

    However, the scenery this time was clearly different from the previous times. Not only were the runic continents evenrger, but they also saw another group of creatures.

    ¡°Look, what¡¯s that? Is it... a giant dragon?¡±

    From afar, the SSS-tiers standing beside Qian Mu Prime sucked in a breath of cold air as they looked at the distant existence.

    It was a real Giant Dragon Tribe.

 Chapter 1081 - The Appearance of Billions of Tribes

    <h4>Chapter 1081: The Appearance of Billions of Tribes</h4>

    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion

    The real Giant Dragon Tribe members were each the size of a top-tier realm. Even if they were very far away, each scale on the dragons could be clearly seen. They were not existences like the Armored Star.

    Moreover, this group of Giant Dragons actually had more than twenty Immortals, but there were only five SSS9-tier Giant Dragons. Those Immortals protected these Giant Dragons as they flew in the Runic Gxy Realm.

    After all, Qian Mu Prime and the others had shrunk in size. Even the Giant Human Tribe¡¯s Giant Human Prime had be only twelve meters tall. All of this was so that they could ride the shuttle so that the other aptitude users would not be affected by the violent power and move forward at high speed.

    The Giant Dragons in front of them were also SSS9-tier, but they were not afraid of the Runic Gxy Realm¡¯s aura at all. They continued forward with a bang.

    This was the difference between tribes..

    These Giant Dragons did not pay any attention to them. Perhaps it was because these seven shuttles were too small, or perhaps it was because these Giant Dragons did not want to stop and y with them.

    However, Qian Mu Prime and the others subconsciously stopped the shuttles and waited for the Giant Dragons to disappear before they started moving.

    ¡°When you be Immortals, there will be billions of tribes fighting over the origin of life. When the timees, it¡¯s very likely that you¡¯ll encounter such a tribe. If you regret it now, you can go back on your own!¡± Qian Mu Prime said.

    Undeniably, the shock the Giant Dragons gave them was too great.

    Some of the aptitude users immediately looked hesitant, but in the end, they gritted their teeth and did not leave.

    After all, they were all here, and they were all people who had made up their minds to advance to be Immortals.

    Qin Feng and Bai Li were calm from the beginning till the end. Although they were a little surprised at first, the desire to battle was even stronger.

    The Giant Dragon Tribe was indeed powerful, but it was not enough to make Qin Feng retreat.

    Seeing that no one was retreating and no one else got off the other ships, Qian Mu Prime continued to advance. Qin Feng thought for a moment and released a dark rune, enveloping the shuttle.

    Qian Mu Prime looked at Qin Feng. ¡°Don¡¯t use up too much consciousness. Otherwise, when the timees, you won¡¯t be able to defend against the other tribes. At that time, you¡¯ll definitely die!¡±

    Qin Feng said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. At least this will save us some trouble.¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability not only enveloped Qian Mu Prime¡¯s shuttle, it also enveloped the other six shuttle ships, including Wraith Devil Prime¡¯s.

    Qin Feng knew that at this time, even if one of them was discovered, it meant that everyone had been discovered. At this time, it was the best time to advance and retreat together.

    Moreover, Immortals could still leave, while these aptitude users would die without a doubt. Qin Feng was not so confident that he could survive among the billions of tribes.

    Everything would have to wait until he had entered the Divine Lake.

    Needless to say, with Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability, the ultra beasts, insectoids, and Immortals they encounteredter did not pay attention to them. They could sense them from afar and thought that it was just a dark runic continent.

    ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve been so sessful. However, I¡¯m encountering more and more tribes. I still need two ovepping runic gxies before I can reach the Divine Lake Realm.¡±

    Qian Mu Prime spoke with his consciousness. It seemed that Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability had allowed him to rx quite a bit. Thus, Qian Mu Prime had the time to say some things.

    ¡°The Divine Lake Realm will give birth to the life origin every once in a while. This origin is only effective on existences that have not evolved into energy life forms. It is quite dangerous for existences that have reached the level of an Immortal to enter the Divine Lake. They will directly melt and be life origin liquid.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± The others were all shocked. Even an Immortal could melt, it was actually so terrifying.

    ¡°So this is also your chance. After entering the Divine Lake, you will only encounter other tribes¡¯ SSS-tier elites. At that time, you can either search for other life origins or kill other tribes¡¯ existences. Once these lives die, they will be quickly dposed into the life origin liquid. After absorbing it, your strength will continue to increase.¡±

    ¡°I hope all of you cane out alive. After all, I also need some resources. If you don¡¯t die and bring the life origin liquid back, you must hand over half of it to me. This is also the reward for us Immortals in bringing you here.¡±

    Everyone nodded in agreement.

    In the midst of these consciousness exchanges, the shuttle finally passed through thest Runic Gxy Realm and entered the vortex in the center. Their vision changed again, but they could only see pitch-ck darkness.

    This pitch-ck darkness was like the void of the universe.

    But in this pitch-ck darkness, far far away, there was actually a white dot of light.

    The shuttle was shrouded in darkness, which was the best protective color. They all rushed toward that white light.

    ¡°Bai Li, can you record the coordinates here?¡± Qin Feng said.

    The Divine Lake Realm was such a powerful existence. Although Qin Feng did not think that he could not break through to be an Immortal, what if he could bring his friends and subordinates here in the future?

    However, Bai Li¡¯s words quickly disappointed Qin Feng.

    ¡°The waymark here is also an origin waymark. There¡¯s no way to record it.¡±

    ¡°Origin waymark? What is that?¡± Qin Feng looked at Bai Li in surprise.

    ¡°I am a spatial beast, but I, myself, also exist in space. Where I am is the origin waymark. And here, the waymark is very strange. It¡¯s as if everything has returned to zero. I can only sense the origin waymark. Therefore, the spatial waymark that I have memorized will be my own spatial waymark after I leave. Wouldn¡¯t that mean I have to teleport to myself?¡±

    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± This also exined why the Immortals had to go so far away.

    Because there was no spatial waymark toe here.

    The seven shuttles continued to move forward. Finally, the white speck of light was gradually magnified, bing clearer and clearer.

    The entire speck of light was like a huge millstone, but also like a distant view of the Milky Way. It was mesmerizing.

    Under the illumination of this light, the bodies and minds of the billions of tribes in the universe were illuminated, as if they had been cleansed.

    ¡°That¡¯s the Divine Lake!¡± Ahn Ping Prime said.

    Not only that, after the light was illuminated, the dark powers on the seven shuttles gradually retreated. Some tribes that had concealed their bodies also revealed themselves. Only then did they realize that it was densely packed with billions of tribes.

    ¡°Molecr Mosquitoes!¡± Qian Mu Prime turned pale with fear. There was actually a group of very small insectoids around them, but now that they were exposed under the illumination of the light, they could feel how terrifying these creatures were.

    They were actually tens of thousands of mosquitoes. There was an existence at the Immortal tier, and the rest were all SSS9-tier aptitude users.

    Such arge group posed a terrifying threat.

    ¡°Avoid them!¡±

    Qian Mu Prime immediately dodged in another direction.

    The other aptitude users on the shuttle naturally heard it too, so they all moved aside.

    The Molecr Mosquitoes were extremely fast, and because their bodies were extremely small, they had grasped the spatial waymarks. As long as they were touched and attacked, the human body would instantly dissolve.

    Among the billions of tribes in the universe, humans were very weak indeed. Only after bing an Immortal could they soar into the sky.

    However, they had avoided these creatures and changed their positions. Now, they had entered the Divine Lake Realm, and there were powerful creatures flying everywhere.

    A creature that looked like the scorching sun appeared next to them.

    ¡°Primal me Snake!¡±

    A terrifying long dragon-like being floated over and discovered the seven shuttles.. It immediately released his consciousness that seemed like it was mocking them.

    ¡°Puny existences that want to be Immortals?¡±

    As it spoke, it spat out a stream of consciousness that submerged the seven shuttles.

    At that moment, a gigantic holy spirit emerged from the seven shuttles and pushed back the terrifying mes.

    ¡°It¡¯s been a few days since I made a move. I was feeling terrible!¡±

    Mighty Spirit Prime had made his move.

    Not only that, Mighty Spirit Prime raised a hand and grabbed the seven shuttles. He then pressed it against his chest, causing the seven shuttles to merge into his body.

    Mighty Spirit Prime was a million meters tall, and he was not a weak existence in the universe. When the Primal me Snake saw him, he snorted coldly and ignored him, then began to run in the direction of the Divine Lake.

    Mighty Spirit Prime did not bother to go after him. He also shuttled through the universe and headed toward the Divine Lake.

    The closer he got, the more tribes Qin Feng saw. There were all sorts of strange tribes.

    Some were led by Immortals, while others were not. They went together and experienced all sorts of dangers. In the end, they were easily eliminated by other Immortals.

    At this moment, the theory that only after bing an Immortal could one finally enter the universe was thoroughly tested.

    Finally, Mighty Spirit Prime reached the side of the Divine Lake and released the seven shuttles.

    ¡°Go. Remember to return in our direction. Of course, that¡¯s only if all of you are still alive.¡±

    Any tribe that could not be an Immortal could still survive here, but the chances of that happening were too low.

    It was normal for billions of tribes to fight over this ce and die.

    ¡°Thank you, Prime!¡±

    Everyone thanked Mighty Spirit Prime for his kindness. Then, without hesitation, they jumped off the shuttle.

    They flew in the direction of the Divine Lake at high speed.

    The Divine Lake.

    It was an existence formed from a pool of life origin liquid. Every drop of life origin liquid had condensed into an existence that was like the core of a realm. It was not too big, but it gave off a pressure that was simr to that of a star.

    And in the Divine Lake, there were tens of thousands of such life origin stars.

    However, this was still too littlepared to the billions of tribes.

    Then, only by fighting could one obtain everything they wanted.

    And at this time, among the billions of tribes, there were people who had already arrived here. They roamed in the Divine Lake, devouring the origin energy.

    Qin Feng soon saw an origin energy with a diameter of one meter. Bai Li did not need Qin Feng to say anything. She had already released runes, shing to the side of the life origin star.

    However, at this moment, a creature arrived even faster than Qin Feng. It was an existence that looked like a bat. It was over a thousand meters in size, and it was whistling over.

    Coldness and killing intent shed in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes. He held the Verdant Emperor Saber in his hand and waved it.

    ¡°Squeak!¡±

    The gigantic SSS9-tier bat was instantly chopped into two halves.

    Following that, violent energy swept over from everywhere. The gigantic bat instantly copsed and was continuously destroyed. Following that, a life origin star the size of a fist appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s line of sight.

    This scene made Qin Feng understand something.

    His consciousness swept across the universe. Only then did he realize that countless tribes were fighting. And after death, they would all turn into origin energy.

    At this moment, the elites surrounding the Divine Lake were also watching this ce.

    They could not enter, but this group of people was also a form of intimidation.

    If they killed their tribe members, even if they managed to leave alive, they would be surrounded and attacked, unless they had evolved into an Immortal.

    And how could an Immortal be so easy to handle?

    One of the ultra beasts swallowed a one-hundred-meter-diameter origin energy. However, it let out a loud scream and its body kept twisting.

    When the other beasts and Wisdom Tribes saw this, they naturally added insult to injury and charged forward without hesitation.

    Before these creatures could be killed, the beast that swallowed the origin energy with a diameter of one hundred meters emitted a light, as if it had turned into crystal clear quicksand, drifting away with the wind.

    ¡°Gene disintegration!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s heart sank when he saw this.

    Things like genes were the most unpredictable. Even Qin Feng was not sure what was contained within his genes. However, due to Z¡¯s experiment, every awakened aptitude user would change into different beast states due to different genes, however, things like disintegration also happened frequently.

    For an Immortal, apart from strength, one also had to look at fate.

    Qin Feng hade so far, step by step. The thing he did not believe in the most was fate. However, reversing time and allowing him to be reborn, he was also in awe of fate.

    ¡°My fate should not be broken by these things!¡±

    Qin Feng stretched out his hand and absorbed the origin energy with a diameter of one meter.

    In just an instant, Qin Feng felt as if his body was being nourished by warm water. Ever since he reached the perfect physique, he no longer had the feeling of breaking through.

    ¡°Good!¡±

    Qin Feng felt his strength increase once more. He did not care about the matter of his genes disintegrating and began to snatch.

    As for him, he did not hesitate to head in the direction of the ultra beast whose genes had disintegrated.

    The life origin energy with a diameter of one hundred meters was devoured by him, but the ultra beast died along with it, turning into quicksand. The origin energy surged once more, and even its size swelled up as it floated in the void of the Divine Lake. The surrounding Wisdom Tribes and ultra beasts started to fight for it.

    ¡°Die!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s dark ability suddenly erupted, enveloping these ultra beasts and Wisdom Tribes.

    He did not even look at the tribes and people he had killed. He was just ughtering them endlessly.

    ¡°No!¡±

    These creatures¡¯ consciousness let out an unwilling roar, but under the shadow of the human-faced snake, it quickly melted, and then turned into dust.

    Qin Feng¡¯sbat power wasparable to that of an Immortal¡¯s. It was not something these people couldpare to.

    However, thepetition in this Divine Lake was too terrifying. Even though Qin Feng had used such a terrifying technique, the ultra beasts and Wisdom Tribes still continued to fight.

    ¡°Bai Li, absorb it first!¡±

    ¡°Okay!¡±

    Bai Li responded and absorbed the life origin energy into her body.

    Bai Li screamed as well, and her body instantly became huge and slender.

    Bai Li transformed into the appearance of the ten-tailed space fox, no longer maintaining her human form.

    ¡°Bai Li!¡± Qin Feng panicked. He could not bear the thought of Bai Li dying due to the disintegration of her genes. At this moment, he was even doubting whether he should have brought Bai Li here. As long as he became an Immortal, it would be enough, why did he bring Bai Li here to take the risk.

    Fortunately, other than Bai Li¡¯s true form appearing, there was no sign of her disintegration.

    ¡°I¡¯m fine. Be careful!¡±

    Bai Li replied. Then, she moved her ten tails consecutively.. The tribe members that were attacking Qin Feng were all swept away by Qin Feng and Bai Li.

    Seeing Bai Li like this, Qin Feng was relieved.

    ¡°Although origin energy can change life forms, it also requires a certain amount of energy. The energy I swallowed just now is far from enough!¡±

    Bai Li¡¯s consciousness transmitted out.

    ¡°Then search. If you can¡¯t find it, kill!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s voice was extremely cold.

    Following that, Qin Feng waved his Verdant Emperor Saber. In front of him, there were billions of tribe members densely packed together. Some were attacking him, while others were searching. However, at this moment, these were all enemies in Qin Feng¡¯s eyes. They were all obstacles on his path to bing an Immortal.

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    ¡°Immortal Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    Qin Feng suddenly erupted with the martial art of an Immortal.

    This move was even more powerful than it was three months ago.

    Within millions of meters, it instantly swept across and killed countless tribe members.

    Not only that, the Divine Lake was iparably huge. Qin Feng¡¯s martial art technique was far from being able to prate it, but it also blew up a tenth of its diameter. Thus, the gazes of all the Immortals outside fell on this ce.

    Some of the tribes members brought by Immortals were within the range of Qin Feng¡¯s hunt.

    ¡°Puny existence, you will definitely be hunted down by my tribe.¡±

    ¡°Stop, or else, even if youe out, I will kill you.¡±

    ¡°No, my child, who is it!!!¡±

    The roars of the Immortals sounded, and the gazes of these Immortals were all focused on Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng, who was in the middle of the Divine Lake, did not care about those gazes and threats at all.

    The corpses of the creatures that Qin Feng had killed quickly disintegrated, turning into countless life origin energies of various sizes.

    Originally, the creatures that were intimidated by this powerful strength were all afraid of Qin Feng. But now, after seeing so many life origin energies, they could not hold back anymore and madly rushed over.

    As long as they evolved into Immortals, they would no longer be afraid of Qin Feng. In fact, Qin Feng would even be a dead soul under their des.

    However, before these creatures arrived, a ten-tailed space fox shed through the air.

    In the universe, no creature could match the speed of a spatial beast.

    Bai Li¡¯s speed was too fast.

    In the blink of an eye, she absorbed the life energy of the ultra beasts that Qin Feng had killed into her body.

    Most importantly, those people were worried about Qin Feng¡¯s strength, but Bai Li was not. She rushed out immediately.

    In an instant, the life energy that Bai Li had absorbed was enough.

    At this moment, Qin Feng could clearly feel a huge auraing from Bai Li¡¯s body. Bai Li¡¯s body began to change, bing stronger.

    Qin Feng seemed to be able to sense that Bai Li¡¯s body was transforming into an energy life form.

    However, this feeling gradually disappeared. The connection between Qin Feng and Bai Li in the past was nowpletely gone.

    ¡°Contract...¡±

    The contract between Qin Feng and Bai Li in the past was really simple and crude. However, after Bai Li had grown up, she did not think of canceling this contract. However, now, after the transformation of her life form, the contract in the depths of Bai Li¡¯s soul was finally washed away.

    At this moment, Qin Feng also felt somewhat mncholic and lost.

    And at this moment, outside the Divine Lake, the Immortals who had been paying attention to Qin Feng also saw Bai Li evolve into an Immortal.

    ¡°Haha, this is truly sending a precious gift right to someone else¡¯s doorstep.¡±

    ¡°Kill that human.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right, kill him.¡±

    The Immortals of the other tribes all started to roar. They did not know that Qin Feng and Bai Li were actually together.

    Only the seven Immortals of the Human Alliance and the Dark Coalition trembled when they saw this. They were somewhat excited.

    But very quickly, this excitement dissipated.

    ¡°Bai Li isn¡¯t a human after all.¡±

    ¡°But there¡¯s still hope. Since Qin Feng can help this woman advance, he can naturally advance sessfully.¡±

    ¡°That¡¯s right!¡±

    These people once again looked at Qin Feng with anticipation.

    As for the other human aptitude users, after they had just entered, most of them had already died. Although these Immortals had long expected this, every time they saw this scene, they would feel depressed and their faces would turn dark.

    At this moment, in the Divine Lake, Bai Li also felt that her soul contract with Qin Feng had disappeared. She was also somewhat stunned.

    The two of them looked at each other in the void. Suddenly, Bai Li¡¯s body shrunk and finally transformed into the appearance of a human.

    ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry up and snatch the life origin. I can¡¯t stay here any longer!¡±

    ¡°Alright!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s somewhat chaotic heart calmed down after hearing Bai Li¡¯s words.

    However, he did not immediately absorb the life origin around him. It was because after the other tribes were massacred by Qin Feng, although their physical bodies had transformed into life origin energy, the energy within their bodies was scattered in the air.

    Therefore, the Divine Lake was filled with boundless energy.

    However, these aptitude users had already reached the peak of SSS9-tier. Even if they had the means to absorb it, it was impossible for them to devour it anymore.

    However, Qin Feng could.

    ¡°Asteroid Assimtion!¡±

    In an instant, the surrounding energy came toward him like a tsunami.

    Qin Feng¡¯s internal force frozen star instantly doubled in size.

    ording to his calctions, Qin Feng needed to devour at least ten thousand realm cores with a diameter of one hundred meters to change a frozen star diameter of one hundred meters to one thousand meters.

    It could even be said that he needed to kill almost ten thousand existences that had just be Immortals.

    It was impossible for these existences to be in the realm where Qin Feng was from.

    However, it became infinitely possible here.

    Because of the billions of tribes, there were too many creatures here. The frozen stars might not be able to obtain a diameter of one thousand meters from killing ten thousand existences, but what about killing one hundred thousand? What about killing a million?

    The creatures of these countless tribes would all contribute their lives to Qin Feng¡¯s strength.

    ¡°Kill!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s saber light kept appearing. A massacre had begun. There was no blood spilled, nor was there a soul ascending into the sky. There was only life that kept on dimming.

    Qin Feng¡¯s nine frozen stars continued to grow rapidly.

    Seven hundred meters in diameter!

    Eight hundred meters!

    Nine hundred meters!

    Qin Feng single-handedly massacred the tribes in the Divine Lake.

    At this moment, Qin Feng¡¯s frozen stars finally reached their limits.

    The diameter was infinitely close to one thousand meters.

    And at this moment, the life origin liquid in front of Qin Feng had reached a diameter of ten thousand meters.

    These were the result of the massacre of billions of tribe members.

 Chapter 1084 - Gene Disintegration

    <h4>Chapter 1084: Gene Disintegration</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    In the universe, outside the Divine Lake, the powerful tribes locked their gazes on Qin Feng.

    For countless years, they had never seen an existence like Qin Feng.

    The current Qin Feng was the focus of attention, and he was viewed with enmity by countless tribes.

    As long as he stepped out of the Divine Lake, he would be pursued endlessly.

    Within the Divine Lake.

    Qin Feng looked at the life origin energy gathered before him and dived into it.

    Following that, his body was like a greedy beast. It started to devour the life origin energy, and every cell started to jump.

    .

    From the warm to the scorching heat, Qin Feng felt the energy filling him up.

    However, it was as if there was ayer of barrier that firmly confined Qin Feng¡¯s body, preventing him from advancing.

    At this moment, the life origin energy with a diameter of ten thousand meters was no longer a treasure. Instead, it was a huge poison that could cause one to die.

    ¡°Ah!!!¡±

    Qin Feng could no longer endure it. He cried out in pain. The burning sensation in his body was even more terrifying than any fire ability.

    Suddenly, Qin Feng raised his hand. A ray of light shot out from the tip of his finger. Following that, his fingernails were like golden dust, flying with the wind.

    Gene disintegration!

    Qin Feng¡¯s eyes widened. He could not believe everything that had happened.

    The thing he was most afraid of had appeared.

    Qin Feng¡¯s gene was unable to withstand the life origin energy. In the end, it was disintegrating.

    At this moment, death was so close to him.

    ¡°No!!!¡± Bai Li looked at Qin Feng¡¯s body and immediately shouted.

    She could not believe that the most important existence in her life had passed away just like that. This was something she would not allow.

    In an instant, Bai Li shuttled through the life origin energy and appeared in front of Qin Feng. She grabbed Qin Feng¡¯s body tightly and was about to bring him out.

    ¡°No, you can¡¯t die. You can¡¯t!¡± Bai Li could not allow it.

    She had already be an Immortal. She did not need Qin Feng to be so powerful. She could protect Qin Feng.

    But at this moment, Qin Feng stretched out his hand and grabbed Bai Li¡¯s wrist.

    Qin Feng¡¯s hand shone with light. The gene disintegration was still continuing, but his strength was extremely great.

    For Qin Feng, after his rebirth, his path had been smooth sailing, and he possessed even greater strength. However, being an Immortal was his final goal. He could not give up just like that.

    1

    Since the life origin energy did not allow him to evolve into an Immortal, then he would do it himself.

    Qin Feng¡¯s other hand took out something.

    Bai Li subconsciously looked over and saw that it was a tube of golden medicine.

    Bai Li¡¯s eyes instantly lit up.

    ¡°Yes, there¡¯s also the awakening potion and this. You can do it. Qin Feng, Hubby, don¡¯t die!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s hands had already turned into sand and drifted away. Bai Li grabbed the golden medicine and injected it into Qin Feng¡¯s chest.

    In an instant, the golden medicine was pushed into Qin Feng¡¯s body. It was so hot that his cells were almost burned into ashes. At this moment, a special power was added. Then, Qin Feng felt his entire body explode.

    Qin Feng did not die. Instead, he became infinitely huge.

    At first nce, he looked like an energy shadow of an Immortal. However,pared to other Immortals, his body was translucent. Every blood and every cell in his body was magnified ten thousand times.

    Not only that, in his body, his consciousness realm and internal force dantian were also shattered. The ability core and the internal energy frozen stars emerged.

    Then, the ability core sank, and the internal energy frozen stars rose. The two gathered in front of Qin Feng¡¯s chest, forming a new space.

    Qin Feng knew that this was the martial soul sea that Z had mentioned.

    The ten massive stars collided and fused together, making a formation.

    The nine frozen stars filled the body, forming a human-faced lion body.

    In just a moment, Qin Feng recognized this ultra beast. It was the legendary ancient beast, Taotie.

    It had a human face with goat horns, and a lion body with dragon ws.

    The dark core also exploded, covering the body of this ultra beast, covering it with pitch-ck fur.

    The water core fell, fusing with the blood.

    The wood core fell, fusing with the bones.

    The earth core fell, fusing with the body.

    The metal core fell, fusing with the fingernails.

    The fire core fell, fusing with the eyes.

    Wind and thunder filled the body, and ice encircled it.

    All the ability cores disappeared along with it. Only this martial soul existed in Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    The surrounding life origin energy crazily surged into Qin Feng¡¯s body once again and poured into his soul sea, causing Qin Feng¡¯s martial soul to continuously expand.

    From the size of a thousand meters, it became a ten-thousand-meter giant beast.

    Qin Feng¡¯s body was also continuously expanding, reaching a height of a hundred thousand meters.

    He looked around and felt that the universe was still vast, but he was no longer so weak.

    At this moment, a figure appeared beside him. It was Bai Li, who had used her energy life force to expand her body.

    Bai Li ran over in ecstasy and hugged Qin Feng.

    ¡°You¡¯re okay. That¡¯s great, that¡¯s great!¡±

    As she said this, tears actually flowed out of the corners of Bai Li¡¯s eyes. In the end, they turned into a crystal that fell down.

    An Immortal¡¯s life force had already been converted into energy. There was no longer water in the body, but energy. However, at this moment, Bai Li was still crying. It could be seen how worried she was.

    Qin Feng gently wiped away Bai Li¡¯s tears. At this moment, he felt that he had no regrets.

    Was the peak of life not having the strongest power and the most beautiful woman?

    He had already achieved it.

    At this moment, Bai Li cried out in surprise. Her body was repelled by the violent energy, and she flew up.

    ¡°I can¡¯t stay anymore!¡±

    After an Immortal had evolved, although they could stay in the Divine Lake for a period of time, the more stable the strength in their body was, the more repelled they were by the Divine Lake. They could not enter and would be forcefully pushed out.

    Qin Feng held Bai Li¡¯s hand and did not stay any longer. He followed Bai Li out of the Divine Lake.

    At this moment, the Immortals of countless tribes were staring at Qin Feng because Qin Feng had killed almost all of their descendants and kinsmen in the Divine Lake. These Immortals could not tolerate such an existence.

    Originally, no one would care if Bai Li had left quietly. However, Bai Li¡¯s embrace made her and Qin Feng the targeted duo.

    If Bai Li were to leave by herself at this moment, she would definitely be besieged by the Immortals of billions of tribes.

    Qin Feng could not let Bai Li face such a thing himself.

    Finally, the two of them left the range of the Divine Lake. Then, the pressure of countless Immortals enveloped them.

    ¡°Human, you must die!¡±

    An ultra beast¡¯s consciousness roared. Then, its body pressed over, wanting to tear Qin Feng and Bai Li apart.

    Qin Feng looked at this ultra beast with an extremely calm expression. In the next moment, the phantom of an ultra beast appeared under his feet. It was iparably huge.

    It was the Martial Soul Taotie.

    In the soul sea, the Martial Soul Taotie, which was only ten thousand meters long, became extremely huge after it appeared. It was ten million meters long.

    This meant that the size of the Taotie Beast had already surpassed the size of the Blue Star.

    <h4>Chapter 1085: The Number One Immortal of the Billions of Realms</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Qin Feng stood in the center of the Martial Soul Taotie¡¯s head with Bai Li in his arms. He looked like a high and mighty God.

    The Taotie Beast¡¯s body was ten times the size of Mighty Spirit Prime. It was actuallyparable to the Giant Dragon Tribe.

    The ultra beast that came to attack Qin Feng immediately collided with Qin Feng¡¯s martial soul. It could be said that this martial soul was a part of Qin Feng¡¯s body.

    At the beginning, it was just an illusion, but every hair was so real. In actual fact, it was all made up of life energy.

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness controlled the Martial Soul Taotie, just like his consciousness controlling a machine, like an arm and a finger.

    The Taotie raised its dragon w and sank into the beast¡¯s body.. Even though the beast was also an energy life form, at this moment, it was firmly grasped.

    In the next moment, the human face of the Taotie opened its mouth and bit on the beast¡¯s body.

    Like sucking jelly, the beast¡¯s energy life form was absorbed into Qin Feng¡¯s body and turned into his own energy. Even the energy core was absorbed into his mouth.

    ¡°Crack crack!¡±

    The huge face chewed and swallowed the energy core with a diameter of one hundred meters. It swallowed it like candy.

    But at the same time, countless tribes attacked Qin Feng.

    Dozens of ultra beasts surrounded Qin Feng and attacked him with sharp ws and weapons. They all knew that this was Qin Feng¡¯s energy life form. It was the same as attacking him when attacking it.

    But when they touched it, there was a metallic nging sound.

    The Taotie Beast¡¯s fur was indestructible, and these Immortals were unable to destroy it.

    Qin Feng¡¯s energy life form was too perfect.

    ¡°Impossible!¡±

    ¡°Didn¡¯t you just evolve into an Immortal? How could you have such a defensive ability?¡±

    ¡°Retreat, quickly retreat!¡±

    A tribe¡¯s Immortal immediately felt that something was wrong and?wildly retreated. However, his actions were toote.

    Qin Feng¡¯s Martial Soul Taotie turned its fur into dark energy. The phantom of the human-faced snake body extended out again and entangled these Immortals.

    Previously, Qin Feng had also massacred SSS9-tier aptitude users. But now that he had evolved into an Immortal, he was still massacring!

    Those Immortals who had been bitten by Qin Feng¡¯s phantom were all like deted balloons.

    ¡°Now, who are the ants? Who are the elites? Our human race will rise up in the billions of dimensions!¡±

    Qin Feng¡¯s consciousness surged forth arrogantly.

    However, this consciousness was a provocation toward the billions of tribes.

    ¡°Human race, what tribe is that?¡±

    ¡°How can you be so arrogant when you are just a piece of trash?¡±

    ¡°Do you think that you are invincible after bing an Immortal?¡±

    Countless tribes were enraged by Qin Feng and charged over madly.

    They all thought that the tribes that had attacked Qin Feng were too weak.

    Even the Giant Dragons looked at Qin Feng and suddenly opened their mouths wide.

    ¡°Awooo!¡±

    A dragon¡¯s roar exploded in the universe. A huge ball of fire energy that could be seen with the naked eye shot out from the mouth of the Giant Dragon.

    At this moment, Qin Feng was also controlling the Taotie Beast. He opened his mouth, and the ck energy ball condensed at a speed faster than the Giant Dragon¡¯s.

    In an instant, the dark energy ball was condensed and shot out.

    The Giant Dragon also released its dragon breath of fire.

    The ten-thousand-meter-wide dark energy and fire energy collided with each other.

    The two counteracted and were melted, and huge forces collided with each other.

    However, in just a moment, the darkness shot up into the sky and suppressed the me. Then, it drowned the star-sized Giant Dragon.

    In that instant, the energy life form in the Giant Dragon¡¯s body melted rapidly. It was as if half of it had been disintegrated, revealing the bones, internal organs, and finally, the core of the me.

    In that instant, the core dimmed, as if it had been sucked dry. Then, it turned into ashes and was exposed in the void, disappearing with the wind.

    The other Giant Dragon Tribe Immortals were all furious.

    In the next moment, dozens of Giant Dragons opened their mouths and spewed out energy beams.

    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

    The continuous explosions enveloped Qin Feng. No one believed that Qin Feng could have survived. He had angered a group of Giant Dragons. Even among the billions of tribes, no one had the courage to do so.

    However, when the smoke and dust dispersed, the Taotie Beast with a terrifying body and Qin Feng, who was standing on top of the giant beast, were still safe and sound. However, these Immortals all saw the transparent light shield surrounding Qin Feng.

    The energy shield of an Immortal was like internal force hard qi. As for how strong Qin Feng¡¯s internal force hard Qi was, one could tell from the nine kilometer diameter of his internal energy frozen stars.

    Moreover, after absorbing the life origin energy, that energy caused the Taotie Beast, which had reced the energy core in his soul sea, to transform into ten thousand meters. ording to this standard, his strength would be a hundred times stronger than the others.

    The attacks of the Giant Dragon Tribe did not have any effect.

    Qin Feng took out the Verdant Emperor Saber and injected his internal energy into it. Following that, the saber became iparably huge.

    The Verdant Emperor Saber was originally the weapon of an Immortal. It contained countless materials. It was only because Qin Feng had a human body at that time, that was why he transformed it into a saber that a human could use. Now, the Verdant Emperor Saber was finally going to disy its true strength.

    ¡°If you want to prove your strength, you have to kill your way out. Those who obstruct me will die! Those who don¡¯tply will die!¡±

    Qin Feng waved the Verdant Emperor Saber.

    ¡°Billion Spirit Chain Rend!¡±

    The spirits carried internal energy as they whistled out, almost forming a perfect circle.

    The spirits of hundreds of Immortals flew out, followed by countless SSS-tier spirits.

    This included the existence known as Strangle in the Divine Lake Realm.

    At this moment, the spirit chain rend unleashed an unprecedented power.

    In an instant, the enemies who were on the same level as Qin Feng were all shattered by this sh.

    Immortals fell one after another.

    The powerful Giant Dragons were also cut in two.

    Boom Boom Boom!

    The Immortals¡¯ internal energy cores were shattered, and their aura of life dimmed. In the Divine Lake Realm, these Immortals also turned into quicksand.

    Kill, Kill, Kill!

    The sky above the Divine Lake was filled with wails. Countless Immortals screamed and started panicking. Billions of tribes besieged him, but Qin Feng still managed to carve out a bloody path.

    All those who attacked him would be punished by death.

    After an unknown period of time, there were no more Immortals around Qin Feng. No one attacked him anymore

    In the midst of the battle, the universe was cleared.

    The weaker tribes were struggling in the distance. The other tribes that arrivedter were trembling. They did not understand why such a terrifying existence had appeared in the Divine Lake Realm.

    However, they all remembered this human and this tribe.

    Qin Feng turned his body and did not say anything. His gaze swept past the Immortals around him.

    The Immortals of billions of tribes all trembled at this moment. They all lowered their heads and bowed, showing signs of submission to Qin Feng.

    Qin Feng was invincible in this world!

    <h4>Chapter 1086: The Blue Star Realm Will Never Copse</h4>

    Qin Feng took a step forward, while the billions of tribes took a step back.

    Qin Feng took three steps forward, while the billions of tribes took ten steps back.

    Many thoughts appeared in Qin Feng¡¯s mind. Finally, his consciousness was transmitted to the entire Divine Lake Realm.

    ¡°I am a human!¡±

    ¡°I remember this race.¡±

    Qin Feng did not say anything else. His body shrunk and he headed in the direction of Ahn Ping Prime.

    The seven human Primes watched as Qin Feng walked over step by step. All of them were overwhelmed with emotions..

    ¡°Congrattions, Xuan Feng Prime!¡± Qian Mu Prime said.

    ¡°Congrattions, Qin Feng Prime.¡±

    ¡°Congrattions!¡±

    At this moment, regardless of their previous rtionship with Qin Feng, they all congratted him. Then, they looked at Bai Li. After thinking for a moment, they also congratted her.

    After all, Bai Li was with Qin Feng.

    ¡°Are there still humans alive?¡±

    Qin Feng naturally asked about the humans in the Divine Lake Realm.

    ¡°There are still three more!¡± Ahn Ping Prime hurriedly said.

    When they came, there were hundreds of SSS9-tier aptitude users, but now, only three were left.

    This was only because even though Qin Feng had massacred wantonly, he had avoided these people. The enemies of these people were all killed by Qin Feng, which gave them a chance to catch their breaths.

    Unfortunately, none of these three people seemed to have the ability to advance as a Prime.

    One of them had his genes disintegrated after absorbing the origin energy. The remaining two knew that it was impossible. They simply did not absorb the origin energy. Instead, they used tools to store the origin energy, nning to exchange it for treasures with the Primes when they returned.

    However, they soon discovered that the previous fierce battle seemed to have stopped. After seeing them, the other races actually turned around and ran away. Their strength and aura were clearly much stronger than theirs.

    Little did they know that the others had all been warned by their own Immortals.

    ¡°Leave that creature. It¡¯s a human. Don¡¯t provoke it.¡±

    ¡°Avoid it. The Immortals of their tribe are too powerful. They¡¯ll ughter our tribe. Don¡¯t cause trouble.¡±

    ¡°Fortunately, humans are rare. You go and hunt down the other tribes.¡±

    This message was transmitted one after another. The other tribes all moved aside when they met humans.

    The two humans in the Divine Lake did not know what was going on, but they could clearly see Ahn Ping Prime and the others outside the Divine Lake.

    ¡°So, this is the attitude of an elite? Because they¡¯re powerful, the billions of tribes also make way for them.¡±

    Ahn Ping Prime and the others had never imagined that such a day woulde.

    Such treatment was something that only those tribes who had powerful abilities over countless years could receive.

    Now, they were also receiving such treatment.

    All of this was because of one person!

    Qin Feng.

    ***

    A monthter.

    The spinning Divine Lake no longer spat out origin energy. Groups of billions of tribes came, and groups of them left.

    However, these tribes all noticed a unique existence. This existence¡¯s aura was extremely terrifying, and it was asrge as a star. In front of this existence, they were nothing more than meteors that could dissipate at any time. They were too weak.

    Moreover, they also knew about this existence¡¯s race.

    Thus, these new billions of tribe members constantly warned the aptitude users who came to avoid the humans.

    The two SSS9-tiers ability users walked out of the Divine Lake Realm unscathed. They carried the origin energy that these Primes had obtained over a thousand years.

    ¡°Xuan Feng Prime, how do you think these origin energy should be distributed?¡± Qian Mu Prime asked Qin Feng.

    Although these two humans were not Qin Feng¡¯s subordinates, it was Qin Feng¡¯s credit that they could walk out safely.

    Moreover, with Qin Feng¡¯s current strength, these people did not dare to snatch these life origin energies.

    Qin Feng looked at these Primes and said, ¡°These two humans should be the subordinates of Qian Mu Prime and Mighty Spirit Prime.¡±

    The two of them nodded.

    ¡°In the past, did the aptitude users who walked out have to give the Primes items or was it divided equally?¡±

    Mighty Spirit Prime said, ¡°Coming here is also the result of everyone working together. Therefore, some will be split. Those who make contributions will take half, and the rest will be distributed to the others.¡±

    ¡°Then this time, you can only take half. I am not a generous person. This time, I will take eightyers of life origin energy. Mighty Spirit Prime and Qian Mu Prime will take five percent, and the other five Primes will split the rest equally!¡±

    The other Primes naturally did not dare to retort. They felt helpless as well. However, the situation overpowered them. Qin Feng¡¯s strength was as strong as him crushing an ant if he were to kill them. All of this had been proven in the battle just now.

    However, the other Primes soon realized that Qin Feng was not ungenerous. He was simply too generous.

    This was because they had harvested a great deal of life origin energy in the past month. In fact, even the two percent they received was more than what they had umted over the past hundred years.

    This life origin energy couldpletely increase their strength.

    ¡°Thank you all for bringing me here. The Runic Gxy Realm is also very dangerous. Let¡¯s send everyone on their way!¡±

    Before these people could agree, Bai Li had already raised her hand. A silver light enveloped the remaining nine people. Without any shuttles, Bai Li crossed the universe and instantly appeared at an unknown number of light years away.

    After a few shes, they returned to one of the entrances to the Runic Gxy Realm, leaving the Divine Lake Realm.

    The Divine Lake Realm waymark was the origin waymark, so they could not use the spatial passage. However, as long as they had left that ce, Bai Li, who had be an Immortal, could open any spatial passage.

    In the next moment, three spatial doors were opened up.

    Bai Li said indifferently, ¡°The Human Alliance, the Dark Coalition, you guys go with your own group!¡±

    It was clear that Bai Li was doing this for their convenience, but when they thought about how this spatial beast could descend to their headquarters at any time, these Primes also felt fear in their hearts.

    ¡°Xuan Feng Prime, Bai Li Prime, goodbye.¡±

    ¡°I hope we have the opportunity to work together in the future.¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡±

    Everyone greeted them and stepped into the spatial passages.

    After these people left, the spatial passages were also closed up, leaving only thest one.

    This was the spatial passage to the Blue Star Realm.

    ¡°Roar!¡±

    The ancient fierce Taotie Beast let out a furious roar before shrinking and finally fusing into Qin Feng¡¯s soul sea. Closely following that, Bai Li and Qin Feng¡¯s energy life forms began topress, turning into the appearance of someone who had not advanced to the Immortal tier.

    Only they knew that they were already different now.

    In the next moment, the two of them stepped into the spatial passage together, leaving this colorful universe.

    Their vision recovered once again. The Blue Star Realm made them feel rxed and happy.

    They had not returned for a month, and the star had not changed at all.

    But after today, it was different.

    Qin Feng raised his hand, and the origin energy was scattered by him and poured into the star.

    ¡°The body of an Immortal contains the star, and even after death, it turns into a realm. The origin energy is the foundation for an ability user to be an Immortal. When this origin energy is poured into any star, it can change this starpletely.¡±

    ¡°As long as I¡¯m in the Blue Star Realm, it will never copse!¡±

 Chapter 1087End - New Future!

    <h4>Chapter 1087: New Future!</h4>

    <strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion

    Blue Star Realm.

    Year 101, Large Realm Era.

    It had been a hundred years since the end of the Great Rift Era.

    Because of the countless ovepping realms that had appeared on the Blue Star, the number one Immortal, Blue Star Realm, had also expanded several times due to the injection of origin energy, bing an unprecedented super starglobe.

    The humans here possessed the most abundant of resources. They were extremely strong from birth, and when they reached adulthood, they even possessed the physique of an E-tier.

    This was something unimaginable a hundred years ago.

    June was precisely the end of primary education, and a new batch of youths had grown up.

    .

    In the bustling and iparably lively awakening hall in the city, a sixteen-year-old youth walked in here chattering.

    ¡°Identity verification, serial number 2190891355546, gic match, age match, please proceed to the injection chamber for injection.¡±

    ¡°I wonder what kind of martial soul I will awaken! My father¡¯s martial soul is the diamond ape, and my mother¡¯s is the speed leopard. I want my father¡¯s martial soul more!¡± The youth muttered as he excitedly walked into the injection chamber.

    Beside the youth, there were hundreds of injection chambers that were the same shape as eggshells. They were all in operation.

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep, identity verification, serial number 219...¡±

    ¡°Beep Beep Beep...¡±

    These youths were all here to awaken their martial souls.

    In the Blue Star Realm, the Immortal was an existence that was not mentioned lightly.

    However, they were actually talking about another person, an existence that people called a great person.

    Even the Immortal had personally admitted that this person made him.

    The existence that created the number one Immortal was a creator.

    Dr. Z.

    A hundred years ago, after Qin Feng became an Immortal, he returned to the Blue Star Realm and finally began to poprize the new awakening potion.

    The awakening potion had almost overturned the cultivation system of countless human realms. It had also broken the tradition where they had to go to the Divine Lake Realm to be Immortals.

    Although Qin Feng was also an Immortal who had been promoted in the Divine Lake Realm, he was able to be an Immortal because of the new awakening potion.

    Not only that, after the awakening potion was announced, the second Immortal of the Blue Star Realm appeared in the tenth year.

    It was Long Kong!

    Following that, Li Yuan and Long Ting also advanced.

    In the Fengli Organization established by Qin Feng, the Immortals were like bamboo shoots after a rain, breaking out of the ground one after another. The number was quite terrifying.

    Moreover, the people in the Fengli Organization were not like Long Kong and Li Yuan. After hundreds of years of cultivation, they were still unable to break through.

    The people in the Fengli Organization were young people. From birth to bing the most powerful people, it had only taken thirty to forty years. To the existences of countless realms, this was really young indeed.

    Because of this, the humans of countless realms all came to the Blue Star Realm to buy the new awakening potion.

    Xue Xingfu once again became the highest-ranking merchant in the countless realms. The creator of the new awakening potion also became the target of many elites. Everyone knew that mastering this potion meant mastering the resources.

    Thus, Z appeared in everyone¡¯s sight.

    Dr. Z, the researcher of the new awakening potion, was the only existence that did not evolve to be an Immortal.

    Just like a doctor who did not cure himself, Dr. Z had not found a way to be an Immortal even after a hundred years. This might be a punishment from heaven.

    As for whether he cared or not, only he himself knew.

    ***

    In the highest experimental center on the Blue Star, Dr. Z was wearing a white coat that had not been changed for ten thousand years. He looked at the baby in the ss istion room excitedly.

    ¡°Oh my God, this will be the most perfect experiment in my life.¡±

    Qin Feng said with a cold face, ¡°My daughter is not your experiment.¡±

    Bai Li did not have the time to pay attention to the two humans. She was ying with the baby in the istion room excitedly with a plush ball.

    The baby was not considered aplete human. She had a pair of fox ears and a tail. Her hair was silver, but her eyes were brown. Her body was like an ordinary baby.

    She looked like an orc.

    However, the baby in the istion room would sh from time to time, revealing the essence of energy life form.

    This was Qin Feng and Bai Li¡¯s child.

    After bing an Immortal, the body would turn into energy. Naturally, it was impossible to breed normally.

    However, the energy life form seemed to be easier to breed the next generation. As long as the two Immortals stripped off a part of their life energy and fused them, new life would be sessfully bred. Some tribes could even reproduce asexually.

    Moreover, the amount of energy stripped waspletely dependent on the parents¡¯ contribution. Thus, the offspring of the Immortals were usually very strong. Some Immortal who were in danger of dying due to battle or serious injuries would even use all their energy to give birth to their offspring, it was like a continuation.

    This was also the reason why the offspring of the Immortals were extremely powerful.

    Qin Feng¡¯s power was too strong. In addition, due to the absorption of the martial soul, even though they had given birth to several new life forms, in the end, it was Qin Feng¡¯s energy life form that swallowed Bai Li¡¯s life form.

    As for the baby in front of him, Qin Feng had only provided a very weak amount of life force. Most of it was made up of Bai Li¡¯s life cells, and with the addition of Z¡¯s methods, the baby was sessfully born.

    Because it had taken a hundred years to sessfully give birth to one, Qin Feng treasured this daughter very much.

    ¡°It¡¯s time for Xiao Wan to eat. Let¡¯s not disturb the baby,¡± Qin Feng said gently as he hugged Bai Li.

    Xiao Wan was naturally the child¡¯s name. After all, it was only born after a hundred years of gestation. Zhou Hao¡¯s great-grandsons were all already grown up. Therefore, the child¡¯s name was named Qin Wan* by Qin Feng.

    ¡°Alright!¡± Bai Li nodded and left through the side of the room.

    However, Z went forward and took out an energy core the size of a basketball.

    Then, Z threw the energy core into the istion room, and itnded in front of Qin Wan.

    Qin Wan, who was originally cute, had a rift suddenly appear on her chest. A human-faced snake-like phantom with the face of an infant Qin Wan popped out from her chest and bit into the crystal core, biting it with a cracking sound.

    ¡°Perfect. She can already eat the core of a B-tier beast king. At this rate, in less than a month, her strength will increase to A-tier!¡±

    Qin Feng was silent. Although it was not his first time seeing Qin Wan eat, he still felt that he could not ept it.

    He really wanted to roar at the sky, ¡°My daughter isn¡¯t a monster!¡±

    This little thing was only three months old, and she already had the strength of a B-tier. Outside, this was already enough to destroy a small city,

    Although she had inherited Bai Li¡¯s perfect appearance, her true ability was inherited from Qin Feng¡¯s martial soul¡ªTaotie.

    Qin Wan was the first human to have a natural martial soul.

    However, she was too young. She did not know anything and was unable to control her martial soul. This was extremely dangerous.

    And for Z, this would be a new topic for his research.

    After countless years, would every human have their own martial souls after they were born? Whereas inheritance would determine the type and ability of the martial soul.

    Would the descendants of the weak be able to inherit their martial souls?

    Would the descendants of the strong be innately powerful?

    Would this be the future of countless realms...
